The following is a presentation of TFNN The power trading hour with your host David white Call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> now David white Yeah Welcome to another excellent edition of the power trading hour and as always it doesn't matter where you're at as long as you're here at the appointed time the following takes place between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. so what do we have going on today let's do this yeah okay hopefully everything sounds good everything's doing well or working out are all the bugs and kinks and our new technology this week and so far it's going fairly good but as they say no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy you've had to dance around it this week thanks for hanging in there as far as the market we've had a very good and successful test in the S&Ps we needed a 42 20 yeah 42 20 to 50 to hold I re-entered our long positions in the newsletter today and again this is very fast trading it's not any guy had somebody asked this morning why I wouldn't go long in the newsletter for investing and that is if it's just going to be temporary maybe a week or something that's not investing that's trading so we continue to be bullish over kind of the next week maybe into the Fed meeting but that's about it we've got a lot of stuff going on in the market nothing's changed on my any of that stuff not exactly sure where anything else has gone on it not on my end it sounds perfect through the headphones but what do we have microphones all set correctly nothing's changed on this side but I do digress that turn up that a little bit so we can see that's it oh you want to go to things in the I got slightly distracted that's easy for me we'll take these out of order because I kind of added to them through the day we continue to consolidate quite a bit in the market and we were looking for that for a little bit no I've got stuff all over the place out here right now crude of course continues its consolidation off the blow off top 106 76 is back there there's a yeah actually kind of to the bottom of my list out here we had the Biden administration coming to their let them eat cake moment that is now getting a huge amount of backlash as to them doing zero about the prices of fuel or next to nothing on the prices of fuel and the least the people inside are thinking that inside politics are thinking that at this point if we're going to have a party left they're after him to go ahead and at least start doing some more to relieve gas prices with more domestic drilling and of course we've got even the very nice folks to the north of us scratching their heads asking them why they can't import or at least export more oil to the United States to lower prices but I think if there's a little bit going on here it is that the administration just who wants higher prices to drive their global warming agenda and thinking that they'll get people off crude which I think it's probably a pipe cream there just isn't enough lithium and batteries and all the other stuff to go on we've talked about that before but wishing doesn't make it happen but I think that there's a bit of that and at least the rumor around Washington is that's going to change quite a bit we've got some ECB backlash from this morning they were a bit more hawkish in their tone and that really set up the lower open we also have a TLT that just fell through the floor kind of on that amazingly we've had an incredibly good 30 year bond auction but that didn't help right now so much in the TLT we were a bit lower and kind of come off that basically I think on that better bond auction we're down to 133 72 for the lower 134 37 but as I've said for a while we're headed to 128 and probably sooner rather than later the Fed Congress Treasury everybody and their dog wants to manipulate this for a little bit but it's not going to go that far and see what else we have we got that we got that volumes are low in the pullback I kind of addressed on that yesterday where we saw a lot of stocks came down those stocks as I said was a basis of trying to set some kind of low today we had a pullback on what's going to be lighter volume most likely by the end of the day so could we get and continue a rally all the way in maybe to the Fed meeting next Wednesday maybe they're a little less or more dovish a little less hawkish on this generally the reasons why the market starts going up are somewhat vague and murky before it in a lot of times I guess wrong you know it could be anything from the rumors of a ceasefire in the Ukraine to a lot of other the other things but as we just look at at what's going on in the market it is telling you something that is that we did have a blow off top on pretty much gold and crude golds 2002 trying to hold 2000 for the day but I think we could see at least seven more days of winter the gold and the crude must not a muskrat what is he not a hamster groundhog groundhog come out a little bit more winter out here as consolidation goes on and that's probably going to apply to the equity markets to but very good test out here for most everything in you know what could just have a few days of sunshine before what everybody believes is the end of the world comes maybe<PHONE_NUMBER> email me at tfn.com and of course you can put a message in are you grinding

do I have any history today now we did it yesterday I don't think I had time to get it done I had a bunch of other stuff going on before the show so we're gonna go right into questions which we have a few out here as we take a look at them to okay hey David I appreciate your call on the market turnaround played it a bit different than you did well Brent okay good enough what else we have even if oil comes down to sixty eighty dollars a barrel big oil companies still gonna rake it in aren't they well not not like they were in the last couple of days remember these guys bought tankers and it takes 20 days to get across the the ocean and if they bought it 80 and sold yesterday or the day before 130 gonna be hard to duplicate that ever again are they gonna make more money than they did a year ago the answer is yes but not as much money as they were when crewed was 130 bucks I think it can still go higher I'm not saying that it's over I'm just saying there's enough rumors out there yet a blow-off top at best you're looking for consolidation and for everything to calm down and everybody quit talking about it every two three minutes generally almost all these giant blow-off tops are have a similar way of moving higher later and that is they bore everybody to death they make everybody think that it's not going up and it just goes sideways for a while and then it starts its move higher yet again so it are there still possible ones yes there's a blow-off top pretty much tell you that it's not going to happen instantly or in the next week probably in the next week in the next month a lot of things can happen out there again a river a really rumor driven market out here but today a handful of things kind of pushing down on that again I don't spend a lot of time watching CNBC I do get some emails and one of the things I do look for is Santoli's call on or Santelli call on bond auctions he says it's the best it's ever been for the retail investor going to bonds and foreign folks doing it and that generally is a good indication that they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater at the lows at least in the short term like I said you can have some fairly strong moves in a bear market that are back up and higher a lot higher than you ever thought only to see them dashed once again but so far today as we went through the stocks yesterday maybe we'll go through the tail end of that's a bunch of stocks that we went through the volume has been kind of considerably low let's take a look at it in the previous days about this time about halfway through 230 we've been doing about 10 billion shares on the CBOE consolidated tape if not 11 billion shares into going into 18 billion well we're at about 8.1 so is it infinitesimally low the answer is no but it's there anyway okay so what do we oh we got a couple more questions out here so who is this a Hector yeah are they going back to to the lows it from $40 probably not any time soon but you know we had a huge ramp and those huge ramps seldom if ever end up holding you need a a pace of consolidation just like the pop yesterday in the S&P you're gonna get pullbacks and they're gonna especially in bear markets are going to be brutal to hold and almost impossible for you to think about buying and I did buy before the show start to okay what else XLF extremely bullish well you got to think that the move in bonds is probably barely good for the financial sector you did get down with the rest of the markets but volume is fairly low what you're probably going to take to get financials moving I've got a three by three displaced moving average up here which I like it's fairly close to a nine-day moving average if you're a home gamer that does not have access to displaced moving averages and see what I want here I want the traditional moving average out here there's not a whole lot of difference it's just I like the displaced moving average as it gives you the numbers up front a lot more anyway we're seeing this move what you want it to do what you want is a couple more days of probably consolidation and the next pop above that line is probably the bi-signal on it in the meantime you probably have a lot of sideways action and I'm wondering if it won't be something that the Fed says next week the one thing I'm hard to put a number on if we're handicapping the market is what would if we had a real ceasefire what would that do to the S&P 100 points 150 points 200 points 50 points depends on what you have you have an opinion give me a call today<PHONE_NUMBER> okay and he says I ended my stream didn't want to do that I don't know why it did that again we're getting used to this hopefully you know streams back up and running for you folks in the engineering room to two okay anyway yeah no real clear buy signal out here yet in the financials but I got to think that if there's one that's probably going to do good over the next year with four rate hikes probably baked in to the year it's going to be financials to two okay so that apple is being taken to the wood shed I think the biggest problem here is they did release a new product options are still rather bullish for next week with a high indication that this goes to 165 so you're not going to retire on any movement that apple has but it's held pretty much straight through the day the problem with apple is they delivered a lot of stuff that no one cared about and they're making a lot of hay in the tech sector for their new high-powered video production I'm going to call it video production machine which is in reality going to cost somebody 10 or 12 grand so you're probably not going to sell a lot of those to more for people that have big YouTube channels maybe you see it in or I think putting a lot of

by think or swim more information just click the think or swim banner on the front page of tfnn.com and we're back we'll continue talking about what we have here in apple and it yeah so you know why is it doing poorly everybody was hoping that they'd come up with some kind of new iPhone that someone would pay 1500 bucks a piece for coming up with a ten thousand dollar computer that may be very impressive he has a very narrow market and yeah they they're right now addressing more memory than anybody else and doing all this other stuff but at that point you start looking at going to the cloud and an individual PC like that that's high and expensive compared to a server that can do the same thing people would probably or generally like to have the server more so a very interesting product very brown groundbreaking and a very narrow market compared to all the other stuff the new inexpensive phones and stuff they're not happy about that they think that'll bring overall margins down so kind of a the dog and pony was a disappointment to them so we have that we have the Jeepster out here says when would you think about buying a long position in micron the semis as we said yesterday still hadn't gotten a really good signal and one of the things with micron along with some of the others is that they did have more volume than the previous low on January 28th you had to see am I still okay stream is still running you had what do you have you had 26 million shares on the 7th and you bounced a little today you got well you know what it is not so bad you probably want to close what do you have now 75 39 you need to close over 75 52 which is not that far away depends on how the volume comes in I'm just thinking maybe some of these need more time to consolidate if there's a word that could be underused right now is probably consolidation in the markets after all these big moves everybody just thinks that it's gonna big swings are gonna continue infinitum I'm not one of those folks I think we could find narrowing trading ranges for a while but on the S&P I do think that it's gonna resolve itself higher and that's probably only for a very short amount of time as we do that so I don't see anything out here let's take a look at the SMH's and see if there's anything else out there everybody's still worried fairly strongly about an invasion by China and again you had too much volume on March 8th in the SMH's you had 13 million shares that's got to get retested again so I'm thinking the S&P's spies are probably going to be the first really to start moving higher through the next week and it may take Monday or Tuesday maybe even Wednesday of next week for the SMH's to bottom out and some of the other tech sector so still way too much risk on the thought that China may invade I think that is what the market is thinking but at least the charts are telling us the same thing maybe there's a different reason that I've missed but still a little week out there as I said the XLF probably a better bet right now I suspect as you know interest rates are going higher let's take a look at the TLT kind of looked at that before but if there's something you really should be watching out here is that the one bright spot on the TLT is lighter volume so you may have a temporary rest spot out here on the test of February 16th 134.51 43 million shares with just 20 million shares you really need to close above 341.51 and you're underneath that maybe you get back up there energy was really too much on the way down so I'm not expecting this thing to run back up to the top maybe you could get up 136 137 and then start moving down but I suspect by the end of March we're back down into the 128 area again they'll move this and could jigger it and do everything they can but you know it's as we say the Otis indicator from Mayberry RFD Otis knew where the keys were to the drunk tank he may be all over town but eventually he's gonna find his self in his way into the cell and lock himself up by midnight and certainly and what we have here is kind of the drunkards walk Otis's my tank on that thought but that's it we're gonna go to somebody here as soon as they tell me we're gonna go to John and Philly how you doing today John David I'm doing very well thanks for taking the call go ahead oh for a report yes no I am calling in specific about Taiwan semiconductor TSM okay I've done so because I was listening to your program and you were just speaking of the semiconductor business before I ask Sam I just make an observation on highly valued stocks I'm thinking I'm thinking a stock that I've known very well going back to late 2018 frankly thanks to you that's doc you sign you were the one in the fourth quarter of 18 who went through a fairly extensive business description of two that I recall interestingly enough doc you sign in Avalara and interestingly enough since I was fully prepared with knowledge of the business and have seen the IPO share sale digested in 18 of course I was totally asleep at the switch and failed to buy those December 18 January 19 doc you sign rallied you know we're more than a double and a triple and then kept going and I did do some trading six weeks intervals before the the actual top came in place and the observation is now the stock is down what 70% or what have you and you hear the what people failed to doc you sign Pete price wise had no bearing on you know any reality looking on the big picture longer term and doc you sign is a great company and it's growing like a weed that's all true but from those highs because of the high valuation you know the stocks down whatever it is 70% thinking of highly valued stocks just thinking of doc you sign as just an example I wonder is Taiwan semiconductor could that go down another 50% and end up being a pattern that looks very much like Ali Baba we'll be back in just a minute with the answer to that hold on through the break John are you in the market for

good enough here's the quite a here's a couple of things I was gonna talk about it earlier and I didn't do much with it that's a xenon gas for the lasers that etched the chips at Taiwan semi a lot of people been talking that up probably not as big an issue as a lot of people think everybody else is just scared to death that China will follow them but I don't know how do you price monopoly because they certainly have it they can charge whatever they want the only thing is maybe they get a little bit more business to some of the other competitors or would be competitors but everybody's five years behind them so what is a company like that worth yeah it's the hand in the hands of the traders who work for yeah I don't know how you handicapped an invasion right the only thing that holds them back is that you know there are there's some gaps in in in the pipeline for production a few of them but for the most part they've done very well on that the xenon gas is probably the biggest thing they face right now that went from three dollars a liter to about nine dollars a liter and adds about two cents to every chip that they make on the high end so is it a bit the bigger thing is just getting it they used to just after it would have been used for two weeks they would just they would just let it evacuate into the air because it's a noble gas no big deal now they're actually recycling it there's machines that do and some places actually did recycle it and had underneath the production floor had a recycling center for the xenon gas in the lasers but these trying to remember eczema lasers that used see used a variety of gases but the one that's tough is xenon because that all came from a giant plant or two in the Ukraine that's why everybody's wigged out about that but you know three dollars a liter to nine dollars a liter for something that you change every two weeks is not I think the story out here so I've got to put it chalk it up to thoughts of invasion business hasn't changed they're running at 100% capacity so you know it's it's that they've got a high volume 145 high at with 52 million chairs if we can get to the point where we think that the Chinese have learned that the whole world would turn against them like the Russians did or turned against the Russians maybe that changes something but I think that's going to take some time I still think it's a monopoly and monopolies can charge whatever they want thanks so much for all those those thoughts do appreciate that I just yeah I don't know how you handicap invasion so I I struggle with that as well in in parting I wanted to just pose a question certainly not something I'd expect any response to write this minutes but food for thought to think about I'm struggling with what I think's an important issue and a question here it is and when you talked about that the the price decline the abrupt price decline the past though five trading days in TLT it raised this issue in my mind David I make this observation starting back last summer as inflation as inflation pressures were proving not to be transitory the yield on the short-term dated US treasuries specifically like the one year the two-year types you know increased just forget about Russia Ukraine and what have you that issue those rates have moved up dramatically in spite or what 18 months 24 whatever still hold close to two trillion or something the albeit positive interest rate participants banks and funds and all that jazz who use the reverse repo facility two-year treasuries because you could get you know 1% 1.5 whatever the number something huge relative to the isn't persuading that move why what's this all about help but think it's massively important if you ever come up with an idea on that I just be dying to hear it so thanks for thanks very much for your time David you bet as we wrap up this segment which pretty much takes us into the last two minute warning before the end of the show after the next commercial break you just have a look at it but you know and I see everybody buying bonds as they did today the 30 years and stuff it reminds me of a movie that is turning 50 years old here next week and I'll celebrate it but of course it's the godfather a lot of wisdom in the movie not generally is stuff you find but I do find that you know I refer to a lot of stuff from that movie and to me the bond moves and some of the stuff that we've seen over the last couple of days is going to the mattresses when they all had to have a war and sort everything out we've got kind of that now but generally I'm a big fan of buying when everybody's saying the end of the world is nigh I think says there's at least some areas that are pretty good I'm more on the S&P side first maybe the Nasdaq starts picking up sooner rather than later but I'm thinking maybe it's going to follow a day or two or three into next week I don't know what's going to happen maybe it is a ceasefire maybe it's 20 other things that could get better in the market for just a short period of time make everybody still think the market go higher I'm not incredibly bullish but I think in the very short term we could see higher prices we'll be back after this and wrap up the show sharpening North skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument you have to practice sure but you

Hi, I'm Jenny Donilon at Display Week and I am talking to Samantha Phoenix, who is the Vice President of R&D with Plainard Alleyard Company. And Samantha, so one thing I wanted to know was, did you learn anything or did anything surprise you today in our discussions with the other women for the other panel? That's a great question. I haven't really had too much of a time. Sorry, that was a surprise. No, no, no. I just, I haven't had too much of a chance to reflect. Sure. One thing I was pleasantly surprised to see how many people were in attendance, because you know, it's kind of late in the day and it's in the middle of the week, people are starting to get tired. So it's obviously something that matters to the SID group, which is awesome, and it's good to have that support. Let me think, what did I, I was also a little nervous because last year we had this huge room and we had some really visionary speakers, like I don't know if you remember like Poppy's like. It was amazing. It was, last year was amazing. It was really amazing. It was a little like, those are big shoes to follow. But what I found this year was it's, you know, the room is a little smaller. There were a lot of people there, but it felt very intimate. It did. And it felt like a very, like a sharing experience. Like it was more of a interactive with the audience. Like we were as a group exploring rather than presenting to you. Pontificating. Yeah. Yeah. So I think, I don't know, it would be interesting to see what the feedback is, but I think people felt like it was a more accessible event. They felt more connected. Okay. Okay. It felt that way to me. Yeah. You guys were great. Yeah. I wanted to ask you, where do you see, do you see any progress with women in your area in technology, display technology or technology as a whole? Like where do you think it's going? So I have seen progress, interestingly. So now I'm going to say some things are probably not politically correct. So if we look at, sadly, the United States, the state of display innovation in the U.S. is sorely lacking. Yeah. And one of those reasons I believe is because we don't financially support it through our government or our research programs. They just not funded. Yeah. And by contrast, our cousins over to the east are spending a lot of energy and investment in research and really truly research. Yeah. Yeah. And if you look at the history of display, you know that first it was America was scared of Japan taking over and then it was the Koreans and now it's the Chinese. And the awesome thing about China because of the one woman or the one baby policy, women have had a place in the workforce for a long, long time. And so there is this Western perception that the Asia is more misogynistic as a society, but that's actually not true in China at all. Maybe because of the one baby policy of women being part of the workforce. So what I do see, because I'm in China, I'm the artist of Chinese company. I'm in China at least once a quarter. There are a lot of women. Engineers. Engineers in technology and because there's so much investment in display technology, there's just a lot more women. And I think I see it here in display week. It's just like I was in a session yesterday for micro LED and there were three women presenting talks in a five talk session. There were three women. We're talking about very technical, like right down in the nitty gritty of micro LED development, really on the cutting edge and all of them are Chinese. And so I think that's exciting. It makes me a little sad for us here in the US. But I also find it very exciting to see that. Great, great. No, I would agree with you. I have definitely seen more women just looking at the sessions, just sticking my head in, not a great percentage, not 50%, but definitely more women. So, well, hopeful about the future. Thank you. Thank you so much.


Please wait for a while, Augustin. Okay, now we are live. So yeah, this is a regular Q&A session for students. It is April 2nd, so we have just one week before the application deadline. And yep, we can just pass it with Q&A. So please continue. Okay, so I wanted to ask something about the fingerprinting in Artific Promotion. It has said that we can use fingerprinting to just track the promoted artifacts across Jenkins, right? So I learned that in fingerprinting, the producer and consumer, that thing occurs, right? Like producer, it just produces some sort of unique ID and consumer consumes that unique ID. So I suppose that for this week, we have to use the core Jenkins class, that is the fingerprint.java. Am I correct, sir? We will be using fingerprint.java from the Jenkins core for this? Yes, exactly. Okay. So do you see my screen now? Not really. Yeah, maybe. I can see it. Okay, so my network connection isn't perfect today. So yeah, in Jenkins code, there is a code called fingerprint.java. It's here. So this class effectively represents the entire fingerprint engine. There are a few other classes, but it implements the data structure. So what it includes, let me just second that a little bit. Yeah, this class structure changed since the last time. Effectively, just a second, yeah. So here are different things. So here you may see that there are only a few fields there. So there is a pointer to the original view. So this is the producer of the fingerprint. Effectively, it points to whatever which created the first entry. And there is a timestamp when it was created. In addition to that, so yeah, there is md5, which is used as unique ID. And there is file name, which is used as a presentation. So there are some history in this naming because originally fingerprint was created only for fingerprinting artifacts. So yeah, for example, file name, yeah, it has a field called file name, but actually it's just a name for the presentation and other plugins like docker3stability, dockercontainer names there, for example. Got some documentation, maybe. Yeah, so you may see that docker3stability actually used container names as file names. Yeah. Okay, so what I did not understood about that code was fingerprint.java. It is taken like left and right two different ranges, right, from start to end plus one and from start minus one to end. What is the use of those two ranges? I cannot, I do not understand that part. If you scroll down a little bit. This one? No, sir, a bit down. Like there are two ranges that's been described. Maybe you want to share your screen because. Okay, I'll share my screen. I'm not sure you're trying to see me. Okay, okay, I'll share mine. Okay, is it visible, sir? Yes, it is. Okay, so this one, sir, this one. Public range expand right and expand left. This particular, I did not get this, like what is the use of these two ranges and later it just merges these two, finds the intersection between these two ranges and finds the union between these two. What is the actual purpose of this? I could not figure out this. Yeah, so how to figure it out? It's, well, I believe it's just a utility method for some use keys. So it's not a direct part of fingerprint data model. So you may see that it actually just retrieves additional ranges. And if you want I can show how to track down the usage of that. Yes, sir, yes, sir. Please go. I don't think that it's something you should be aware of, but okay. Okay, so yeah, there is expand right, expand left. So here you may see that it's just from start to end, et cetera. So it adds increment, but you may see that this method actually doesn't really modify the class. So it just returns new range. Why it exists for starters? It's a good question, but yeah, there is a button called blame. And then blame, we can just see who introduced it. So yeah, you may see that there is a number of methods. It was created something like 13 years ago. And yeah, so since that this methods have not been really modified, so we can check whether these methods are used at all. So here you may see that the only usage is inside of the class. I mean, no other usage is in Jenkins Core. And what it does, it just expands the range to include additional value due to whatever reason. So it's just the utility method which is for example, another usage to the trace. That's it. Okay, so and next question is, I can figure out how producer produces the new ID. I can clearly see that down like MD5 sound. I can clearly see that, but how would the consumer relate to that ID? That I cannot figure out. Like producer. Okay, so we want to understand how producer produces a new ID, right? Yes, I understood that part, but how would a consumer avail that ID? Okay, so there is another class called fingerprint month. Okay, fingerprint month. So this class apart from all other things includes a number of methods you may see here. So when the consumer wants to trace usages or whatever, it may use this method, for example, to retrieve fingerprint. And you may see that the ID is just passed from elsewhere. So it means that any questioner should be able to somehow know the ID of fingerprint in order to retrieve that. And for example, here you may see, get an idea. So for files, it uses MD5. So if consumer uses a file, it can calculate its MD5, and hence it can retrieve ID of the fingerprints from Jenkins. Just needs to know the file. And pretty much the same with others. For example, in Docker's Recibility plugin, we just use container IDs because container IDs are also unique. So that we use them as this key in order to retrieve fingerprints. And for other usages, well, you would need to somehow create this unique ID. But yeah, once it's created, you will be just using it. Okay, okay, again, talking about fingerprints, I guess in the upstream pass condition, no, downstream pass condition, what I saw was something class called pseudo downstream builds. Sudo downstream builds. And it says that it is like in compensation to the fingerprinting. How is it different than fingerprinting pseudo downstream builds? So pseudo downstream is used for pseudo trigger if I recall correctly. It's a legacy implementation of trigger and jobs inside Jenkins core. And yeah, I believe this is the only purpose for that. And yeah, I do not think that you should be really aware about it right now. So it's nicer that, so pseudo upstream, what? Sudo downstream build. Okay. So it's for legacy. Sudo, capital P, pseudo downstream builds. There is no such cause. I think capital P, sir. It doesn't matter in the course. Well, I think you can change the spelling of Sudo. Yeah. Yeah, it's all right. Yes, the spelling of Sudo, it's correct, P-S-E-U-D-O. Maybe I'm from... Only for triggering, okay, I can do it. Yeah, but, okay. So yeah, we can find this class later if you want. Yeah, probably just kind of write it properly. But yeah, they pseudo triggers, they exist only for all the triggers in... Yeah, I'm not sure why it doesn't really show it. Yeah, so... May I share my screen? Yeah, feel free to do that. But yeah, again, yeah, I'm just... This one, this particular pseudo downstream builds. Okay. Inside downstream pass condition. This. Okay, and you're not sure why... Is that the same as a transient downstream link? Yeah, it's pretty much the same. So I understand why I wasn't able to find it because I was looking for the Jenkins core part, not for the plugin code base. But yeah, it's implementation in promoted builds which doesn't use fingerprints. Instead of that... So yeah, as we were discussing maybe one month ago or so, there are two ways to link builds. Firstly, it's fingerprints. Another one is actions. Because action is a persistent storage, you can add to the build data. So this pseudo trigger you're representing which uses actions, not that will store references between usages. That's it. Okay. Okay, so last question I'll ask and pass the question. It's like... We got eight so that Parish, I have a chance to ask. Okay, okay. We'll see you all in the next one. Okay, okay. Then we'll turn back to the question. Okay, okay. Thanks, Oleg. Actually I wanted to ask if like while registering for GSOC in the Google website, is it sufficient to just upload my like, college ID card, like just a scanned copy of it? I'm not sure these questions you should ask GSOC support. Okay, okay.  Yeah, so we are not another organization making decisions about student eligibility. GSOC support team is doing better. All right. And they should be your contact. Yeah, so if it's not clear to you, please raise the question to them and they will provide the response. Okay. And everyone was like, I was trying this CloudBee's folder plugin. It was said like you can perform a job of folder organization, but I couldn't exactly follow what like, I could understand like it organizes the repository in form of a hierarchical structure of directories, but I wasn't able to like do anything with that. I didn't able to figure out what to do. Now what exactly do you want to do? I just wanted to try what it does, like for the case of multi-branch plugin and sorry, multi-branch pipeline and single-branch pipeline, I was able to do something. I couldn't do anything. Yeah, I can just show you an example. So yeah, folders plugin, it has two purposes. One is folders. For example, this report is a folder. And you may see that it's just a manually created folder managed by folders plugin and includes a number of jobs inside. This is one of the usage of folders. Another usage is computed folder. So computed folder is just next to us, which allows to somehow recreate contents on a runtime basis. For example, if you open Jenkins Core, you may see that there is, it's a GitHub organization actually, GitHub organization is a computed folder. So it uses folders plugin as an API, but there is not a plugin which implements it. And these computed folders, it just scans the GitHub organization. So there is kind of organization work if you're interested. And it's like it's a repositories according to the configured rules. So yeah, you may see that there is a bunch of scans there, but yeah, then we get this project set up. And each of this project, for example, Jenkins, it's a Jenkins Core, it's also a computed folder. This computed folder is multi-branch pipeline actually. And here you may see that there are pull requests, there are branches. So it talks, builds are not configured by this repository, but yeah, you may see that there is quite a number of items. So all of these items have been also created by multi-branch pipeline. And yeah, it uses folder API in order to locate the stuff. I'm not sure what the answer is, your question, but yeah, I just tried to- Yeah, that is what I wanted to know, like how does it function? Yeah, so yeah. So like in order to make this project, what parameters do we have to supply in that section of creating the job? Union multi-branch pipeline? No, like when we create a new item, there is an option of creating a folder organization. Like I couldn't able to follow what exactly did it expect from me to supply. Like in case of multi-branch pipeline, it was expecting me to supply a repository. In this case, what do we supply to the folder organization? Yeah, I hope I have it from, yeah, I should have it from this instance. Okay, so here let's take, for example, the record, it's a computer folder. We see both right now, but yeah, let's see what we have inside. So here you have a number of options to supply, but what is really needed, you need to specify. So here you may see, you're asking about GitHub organization, or are you asking about multi-branch pipeline? I'm asking about, like, there is an option for a folder. Like can I share my screen? Okay, yeah, it may help because I started showing a wrong project type, I believe, has he dropped? Yeah. Maybe. Okay, let's give him, okay. Okay, so what I wanted to ask is, like in this, where I'm running a Jenkins instance, where when I go for a new job, I can select this folder and some name, testing one. So like, what do we supply here? I don't understand, like, there's no space for... What are you trying to achieve? Because you can just... Folder organization. Well, if you want to have folders, you just... Suppose I want to, like, have a folder of multiple jobs. Okay, do you want to create... Manly or do you want to create them automatically? Your screen change? Yeah. Do you want to create these jobs manually or do you want to create them automatically? Automatically. In such case, you're creating a wrong job type. Instead of folder, you need to create, for example, multi-branch pipeline with hub organization, bucket organization. These types have automatic creation. Okay. All of it is just an open case for manual use. Okay. That's all from my side. Thanks, Oleg. Okay. Okay, so... Oleg, I'll take leave now. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, this meeting is optional. So if you have nothing to ask, feel free to drop. Okay, so let's proceed with the next questions. Let's see how much time we have left. Should I start or keep on? Okay. So last question I'd like to ask is, in the proposal page, it has said that update Jenkins release plugin to use the new plugin as an internal engine for doing promotion so that this plugin can use the new plugin internally. Sir, I actually cannot get the gist of this line. So could you please explain? Okay. So it's about promoted builds. So project ideas, perfect promotion. So here... Okay, you're asking about this line, right? Yes, update Jenkins. Yes, sir. Second last. Yeah, so there is... Jenkins release. We'll just put a link here. Okay, so yeah, there is a release plugin. So release plugin is one of the engines for... There is no documentation. Okay. I see. There is some mess with... Nick is here, I believe. Yeah, so this plugin actually allows to trigger the release as a step. We can just take a look. There is... I'm just looking for the documentation. So to simplify the presentation, but it seems that the key is really slow today. So what it does, effectively, this plugin allows to trigger another job as a release step. So release job, you may see that there are a few additional steps being added, like steps before the release, after the release. But yeah, what actually gets for any complete job, you get a button release. And this release button allows to trigger another job with adding some parameters. So it's pretty much what promoted builds does, but with external job. And once we have new promoted builds plugin, we actually can replace the functionality in the release plugin to follow the same API and the same structure. So yeah, you just use the same plugin under the hood so that we don't have duplication of the functionality. Okay, so I have to update the plugin to use it as an internal engine. Like, what does that mean? As an internal engine. So what it means that you create a new plugin here, and then in the release plugin, you add a dependency on your new plugin so that it uses its APIs inside the release plugin. So here, what you have, you have a definition of triggering the build, so like here. So there is a button, but internally it triggers another job. You're like the new artifact promotion plugin would be doing once it's completed. So effectively release plugin could use new promoted builds plugin to do the same thing. Okay. This will be used as triggering a promotion. The new updated plugin will... Yeah, I would expect so. Okay, so thank you sir, thank you. This was all I wanted to ask. Okay. So yeah, if you haven't tried this plugin yet, please do because it should give you more ideas about how promotion logic should work because originally we just wanted to merge these two plugins. We're taking one, but the release plugin could be used as a source of information and ideas for the new plugin. One thing to have in mind is also the build pipeline plugin where you have this promotion step. So the downstream is actually can either be triggered as a parameterized in normal conditions, but you actually also have a manual downstream which create a button on the overall pipeline and you can only trigger it the next job in case it's successful. This is my, you could say, mental baseline about the promotion in that sense. It will work the same as freestyle projects like upstream and downstream conditions? Yes, it works on upstream downstream, but you could say the mechanism or the mental mechanism of what it's trying to achieve is that you can run automatically to a certain point which the titular pipeline is doing today, but what is missing is that you don't have this push the next level of build which could be a release, it could be a deployment, it could be whatever, but it's based on a manual decision. That was what I discussed in the Gitter channel as well that the triggering can be either a push or a pull mechanism. Either you are subscribing for new artifacts which is there a new fingerprint of that artifact that I need? Is that a JAR file or whatever which has been certain quality labels or whatever, or you can actually have a push mechanism meaning that you have a button and then you trigger a downstream pipeline thing. Now kick off giving this fingerprint so they're tied together. Does it make sense Oleg? Yeah, it makes sense. So that's my, you could say my mental baseline about what we're trying to achieve. Okay, thank you sir. Do you know this plug-in? Which one? The build pipeline. Yes sir, yes sir. I've gone through it. So if there are any further queries I'll ask in tomorrow's section. Now may I leave sir because I have my class after like 10 minutes so I have to go. Okay, that's fine. Okay, thank you very much sir. Thank you. Thank you Tom. Okay, so the punch is still online? Yes sir, I am. Okay, so do you have any questions? Yes sir, I wanted to take the feedback on my proposal that I posted. Currently it covers the whole project. Do you want me to add any parts, specific parts into that? Okay, so do you see my screen? Yes sir. Yes, so just to provide some context to close. You have two active students interested in the role-based strategy plug-in performance. So there are ongoing proposals and there is a proposal from B-Punch. So yeah, it includes several topics. For example, my network is really slow today. So yeah, it includes performance testing, benchmarking, and some performance improvements. Pretty much like another proposal. So yeah, one of the topics we had is that since we have two students, most of them have been active during the, even before GSOC was officially announced. And yeah, the proposals overlap. So one of the proposals, one of the recommendations we had to students is to work a bit in order to see whether they can submit non-conflicting proposals. Because their performance is... Of course, the pins are great, yeah. Yeah, try not to. Yeah, so we had one iteration on that and I believe that we are waiting for another iteration. So yeah, if you ask me B-Punch what is needed to be done in this proposal, formally nothing is needed to be done. So you addressed all the main sections. Well, except this problem, but here... Is that... Yeah. So I have not yet got the calendar for the next semester. So I was waiting for that. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. But yeah, we still... Yeah, we already have information about your availability. So it's fine. Yeah, what would be my recommendation regarding this proposal? Yeah, it's still work together with other students to see whether you want... Whether you both want and whether you can have non-conflicting proposals. Because you may... Both wanted to proceed with the same proposals, it's perfectly fine. But since we are talking about open source and collaboration, maybe you will want to collaborate and somehow ensure that both projects could be accepted. But yeah, it's generally your choice. As I said in the Gitter Chat, we can only advise. And yeah, we discussed a few options before, like having, for example, performance testing framework, et cetera, as one project. Another project is actually performance improvements. Because well, in such case, projects can be pretty much independent. Yeah, this is one of the options you guys may want to discuss. And if you want to discuss other options, I'm happy to do that. So I have pinged Abhi for the same, but I have not yet got his response. But when I get the response, I will talk to him about that. And you said about arranging a call, that would be great. About what sort of? About a call. You said now we can arrange a call. Yeah, we can arrange a call. Yeah, so for me, it's a bit difficult for these weeks, but yeah, I will try to attend. I will try to attend really not like the last time when I was in the middle of traveling in the bus, I believe. So yeah, I'll do my best to attend. I have one doubt specific to this project. So in the code in the role map Java file, there's a there's a function and delete SIDs. I needed to know what it does exactly. What exactly? Sorry. So in the if you could open the GitHub code. Okay. I just didn't. The role map. Java file. There's a function named delete SIDs. You can search for this one. What does it do initially? In my view, it just iterates over the rules and forms a set and this removes the SIDs only from that set from that set. Yeah. So it goes through all the roles. And so I think that it just removes all assignments. So it means you have a seat like out integrated or username. And it goes through all the roles inside this role map. And then if there is a seat, it just removes it. That's it. It's not removing from the role map now. It's moving from the set just formed above SIDs. It's pretty much the same. So here you may see that there is no caching right now for this level. So it goes through all the roles and then removes assignments. So let's take a look here. Yeah, you may see that this is... Okay, this is a cache, but yeah. Here's a ground-out-the-rolls structure. So all ground-out-the-rolls are kept in this structure. And here you may see that we just go through all items in this roles and remove SIDs from the set. So effectively it means that you remove SIDs from the role map because there is no other place where they are stored. Okay, I recently added an idea to the proposal for caching of role map objects through. Yeah, same as that. Yeah, if you start caching roles, if you start caching technicians on a higher level, then yes, there may be additional optimization of this data. And then you might need to update all API schools to handle this data properly. Yes, I did. Yeah, right now there is an alteration, so yeah, it's pretty simple to remove something. Okay. Okay, do you have any other questions about the code structure? No, it's not as such. I've gone through it now. I'm familiar with it, I think so. Okay, so yeah, then thanks for the question. So yeah, we have some time left, so maybe we could sync up this class about the project if there is no questions left in the punch. Yes, and that's just from my side. Okay, yeah, I can hang in. Yeah, right, so if you want, you can just stop the broadcast if it's not really really funny. Okay, then thanks everyone who was watching. I'll just stop it.

I don't know because she's going to do all these things. I have to let her go on to take the grade three. And it's the cool and the best work she's offering you for me too. I will call Martha's Coventry and say, any step if they show up, you two, um, if you, what do you think, like, run for a grant, and you could put some help on the table anywhere you want to put them where you can easily get a ticket to come to the ceremony. I don't think that they should be doing this. I think that they are going to do that. I'm going to go home and we're going to see if we're going to be able to stand up and see if we're going to be able to stand up and speak. I don't know. I'm just going to take the whole thing. I'm just going to go and have people say, oh, the thing! Ow! I'm not telling that. So, everybody from the U.S. is working on a border service that can be so renewed. It's really important to be able to stand up and speak to the people. And we, thank you, thank you, thank you. So, I will just, um, I will have to go over and I'll just, um, just put and I'm going to put this next to the willy end so that you won't come up which is true. And then you've got to wait for it to say you know the answer. So, I'm just going to, so I'll put them on the screen. Are you guys ready? I'm just going to, I'm just going to, I'm just going to, I'm just going to, I'm just going to, I would like to invite you and a few moments of centering silence our in-gathering hymn found in your order of service, very in society of medicine. This is a community where curious seekers gather to explore spiritual, ethical, and social issues in an accepting and nurturing environment. Unitarian universalism supports the freedom of conscience of each individual, as together we seek to be a force for good in the world. My name is Ray Loffer, and on behalf of the congregation, I would like to extend a special welcome to visitors.  Newcomers are encouraged to stay for our fellowship hour and to look for people carrying teal stoneware mugs. These are FUS members knowledgeable about our programs and community life, and they look forward to the chance to speak with you this morning. We welcome children to stay with us during the service. If you or a child would like to talk or move around, please remember that the service can be seen and heard from both the child haven and the back corner for the comments. This would be a good time to turn off all electronic devices that might disturb the service. Experience guides are generally available to give a building tour after each service, so if you would like to learn more about the sustainably designed addition or a national landmark meeting house, please meet near the large glass window on the left side of the auditorium. I'd now like to acknowledge these individuals who help our services run smoothly. Our ushers, Helen Dyer and Smiley, Tom Dolmich, Paul Abramson, our reader, Jeanine Nussbaum, our sound operator, Maureen Friend, our hospitality Sharon Skratich and Jean Hills, our lay minister and Smiley, and our tour guide, Richard Miller. I would also like to announce that FUS is considering becoming a sanctuary church. If you would like to learn more about this, please check the table just over there outside the doors after the service. Please note that the announcements on the red, please note the announcements on the red floors insert in your order of service, which describe upcoming events at the society and provide more information about today's activities. We have one special announcement from Steve Goldberg. Thank you, Ray. This announcement is brought to you by the number five. There are five days left until cabaret. Our Irish cabaret is going to be held right here Friday evening from six until nine o'clock. This entire place will be transformed into one big Irish party and auction to raise some money for First Unitarian Society, but really to raise a lot of fun and friendship for members of the congregation. The opportunity for you to save money on your ticket, you can do that online by purchasing the tickets in advance, they're $35 in advance or $40 at the door. You can also save money on tickets, by volunteering to help with cabaret. We have just a few spots left, just a few, on the cabaret team. You can sign up after the service out in the commons. And if you would like to bring young companions to cabaret, we are offering childcare. You can also sign up for that in advance. We'll feature some Irish music, Irish beverages, and yes, even some Irish food, but don't let that keep you away. It'll still be a lot of fun. And the auction items are donated by fellow members of the congregation, so it's a chance to get to know people and to connect with them in a more meaningful way. So, I look forward to seeing you on Friday evening here for Irish cabaret. Cause you know, cabaret is coming.  We'll spend the night in Ireland and we'll dance to some Irish tunes. We'll have a silent auction and a live one come and see. We'll raise a lot of money for our first society. Again, welcome. We hope that today's service will stimulate your mind, touch your heart, and stir your spirit. To renew our faith in the holiness, as embody or in spirit, to join in the words of affirmation as we light our chalice. In the flame from this chalice, we light the glow of hope and the warmth of service. May we have your glory in faith, hope, and service as we give our own lives from its spark. Before we join together in song, please take a moment to turn and greet your neighbor. Like a nose, snapped his father. Listening through the heating vent, Wesley knew that they were right. He was an outcast from the civilization around him. He alone in his town disliked pizza and soda, alarming his mother and the school nurse.  He'd refused to shave half his head, the hairstyle worn by all the other boys, despite his father's bribe of $5. Passing his neighborhood's two styles of housing, garage on the left and garage on the right, Wesley alone dreamed of more exciting forms of shelter. He had no friends, but plenty of tormentors. Fleeing them was the only sport he was good at. Each afternoon, his mother asked him what he learned in school that day. That seeds are carried great distances by the wind, he answered on Wednesday. That each civilization has its staple food crop, he answered on Thursday. That school's over and I should find a good summer project, he answered on Friday. As always, his father mumbled, I'm sure you'll use that knowledge often. Suddenly, Wesley shot sparks. His eyes blazed, his father was right. He could actually use what he learned that week for a summer project that would top all others. He would grow his own staple food crop and found his own civilization. The next morning, he turned over a plot of ground in his yard. That night, a wind blew in from the west. It raced through the trees and set his curtains snapping. Wesley lay awake, listening. His land was being planted. Five days later, the first seedlings appeared. You'll have almighty bedlam on your hands. If you don't get those weeds out, warned his neighbor. Actually, that's my crop, replied Wesley. In this type of garden, there are no weeds. Following ancient tradition, Wesley's fellow gardeners grew tomatoes, beans, Brussels sprouts, and nothing else. Wesley found it thrilling to open his land to chance to invite the new and unknown. The plants shot up past his knees, then his waist. They seemed to be all of the same sort. Wesley couldn't find them in any plant book. Are those tomatoes, beans, or Brussels sprouts? asked Wesley's neighbor. None of the above, replied Wesley. Fruit appeared, yellow at first, then blushing to magenta. Wesley picked one and sliced through the rind to the juicy purple center. He took a bite and found the taste an entrancing blend of peach, strawberry, pumpkin pie, and flavors he had no name for. Ignoring the shelf of cereals in the kitchen, Wesley took to breakfasting on the fruit. He dried half a rind to serve as a cup, built his own squeezing device, and drank the fruit juice throughout the day. Pulling up a plant, he found large tubers on the roots. These he boiled, fried, or roasted on the family barbecue, seasoning them with a pinch of the plant's highly aromatic leaves. It was hot work tending his crop. To keep off the sun, Wesley wove himself a hat from strips of the plant's woody bark. His success with the hat inspired him to devise a spinning wheel and loom on which he wove a loose fitting robe from the stalk's soft inner fibers. Unlike jeans which he found scratchy and heavy, the robe was comfortable, reflected the sun, and offered myriad opportunities for pockets. His schoolmates were scornful, then curious, grudgingly, Wesley allowed them 10 minutes a piece at his mortar, crushing the plant's seeds to collect the oil. This oil had a tangy scent and served him both as suntan lotion and mosquito repellent. He rubbed it on his face each morning and sold small amounts to his former tormentors at the price of $10 per bottle. What's happened to your watch? asked his mother one day. Wesley admitted that he no longer wore it. He told time by the stalk that he used as a sundial and had divided the day into eight segments, the number of petals on the plant's flowers. He'd adopted a new counting system as well, based likewise upon the number eight. His domain, home to many such innovations, he named Westlandia. August was unusually hot. Wesley built himself a platform and took to sleeping in the middle of Westlandia. He passed the evenings playing a flute heat fashion from a stalk or gazing up at the sky, renaming the constellations. His parents noted Wesley's improved morale. It's the first time in years he's looked happy, said his mother. Wesley gave them a tour of Westlandia. What do you call this plant? asked his father. Not knowing its name, Wesley had begun calling it Swist from the sound of its leaves rustling in the breeze. In like manner, he'd named his new fabrics, games and foods until he'd created an entire language. Mixing the plant's oil with soot, Wesley made a passable ink. As the finale to his summer project, he used the ink and his own 80 letter alphabet to record the history of his civilization's founding. In September, Wesley returned to school. He had no shortage of friends. Thanks for listening. You may now leave for classes and we join in singing him 128. For your reflection with you about my own experience, there are a few ideas in this world that I cherish as much as independence. My name is Ray Lawfur and last year independence turned my world on its head.  In junior high, I was a nerd. No, not even the cute kind of nerd who's really sweet and kind of attractive. No, I'm an insecure kid living by the philosophy while I make friends and learn to be my own independent person. I could just stay inside and play video games all day until my parents say supper's ready. As high school started to unfold in front of me, I figured out that this is not the way I wanted to live my life, but I didn't see any way to change. I wanted to start experiencing things and discovering myself. So in a fleeting moment of epiphany, I did what any rational 15-year-old would do. I packed my bags and flew to South America. My plan was to live in Argentina with a host family and speak only Spanish and figure out everything myself over the course of half a year. I wouldn't have any video games so I'd have to start looking for good ways to fill my time. All of a sudden, I couldn't just ask my mom or my papa to fix all my problems. I learned how to socialize, how to make friends, and before I knew it, life became amazing. I did things I'd only dreamed of doing before that point, going to parties, making my own schedules, taking psychology lessons in Spanish, and even signing myself up for an extremely foreign, odd activity that quite frankly scared me, sports. I learned how to be kind and confident and to be respectful to everyone because you never know what they're going through personally. A fun example of my adventures in independence, if you will, was the day I decided to do something about my acne. So in Argentina, right, the general diet consists of fatty barbecue and bread. This, coupled with a lack of proper facial cleansing products, led me to the point in which my head contained more zits than IQ points. I wanted to fix this. Right, so one day, after school, I'm walking with my friend David and I say to him in Spanish, yo dude, I'm a hit up that farmacia and grabbed some benzoil peroxide. I did my research, that's the stuff I need. So David walks off to go buy an empanada or something while I head into this little pharmacy at the corner of San Martín Boulevard and Pellegrini Street. Immediately I realize I have no clue how to say benzoil peroxide in Spanish. None at all.  So I start throwing some circumlocution at the poor farmer's sky, who's probably only 25. I'm all like, I need this, this paste, this acid paste for my face. It erases the red hills, small, small red hills, small red infected hills. So this whole time I was standing there waving my arms to make the shape of little hills and pointing at the pimples on my face and I guess something about my broken espagnol and hip hop dance reminiscent trades made at least a little sense to the guy. Cause I left the store a few minutes later with the medication. It felt good to handle the situation all by myself, even if I looked like a dweeb and had no clue what I was doing. A few months after the peroxide incident, I decided to see the world a little bit. So I packed up my few belongings and took a 14 hour bus ride by myself to the mountain city of Bari Loche. For a week I stayed in a nice lady's house and during the day I would go off to see the sights alone or take a tour. One day the tour I was attending passed through a national park. Technically I could enter the park for free since I was under 16. Let me tell you though, it isn't easy to convince a Spanish speaking park ranger that yes, in fact, I am all by myself. I live 5,600 miles away and I'm 15 years old. I'm glad I did though, because that was a pretty awesome tour. There were mountains and glaciers and all kinds of stuff. And sure, there are some other inherent challenges that come with independence.  I got in a petty argument and ended up with one last person I could count on. I started missing my friends in the United States and for almost a week I was quite miserable and mopey. Around that time, David and I were sitting in a hill by the town amphitheater. He was also an exchange student and sometimes we hung out there late at night to chill and watch the stars. That particular night we talked for hours about how difficult studying abroad was and how much harder it was than we imagined. How we didn't really have anyone to go to and ask, hey, what am I supposed to do in Axe's situation? Neither of us had any solution better than figure it out. But let me tell you, I wouldn't trade my experiences in Argentina for a billion dollars. I wouldn't even change the low points. Everything, every challenge, every highlight and every failure was a chance to learn how to make it on my own and thrive as a soon to be adult. Now I'm almost 17 and I'll be heading off to college in less than four months. In 2015, I would never have even chosen to speak in front of a crowd like I am now. Much less chosen to move to a different state and go to college.  My name is Marco Salin and I decided to speak maybe 25 minutes before the service and thinking about this, I wanted to say something to this congregation because this congregation has been such a large part of my life and my journey to becoming an independent young person that coming today and not saying something to everyone here for being supportive and being there for me, I would have just regretted it. So here I am. I wanted to say thank you for the help through my journey because there's been many points in my life where I'm able to look back and say I learned this here and now I used to be, well I used to be a young kid hiding in a hoodie that used to be my thing. When we moved from Colorado here, I was very afraid of the world. I was afraid of people, other people, meeting people and being independent. I used to hide behind my father and my mother and my sister and becoming the person that I am today was a long journey. I remember many times where there was people that I need to lean on and some of the people have been here. So this is a general thank you to everyone here for helping me through my journey. So thank you. I discovered this book when I was working here in the childcare room. Westlandia is by far my favorite book to read to the kids because it teaches important themes such as creativity, independence and dealing with being different. Sorry. Wesley is a curious child who is more interested in learning and creating than in fitting in with his peers. Even when classmates chase him or make fun of his quirky personality, Wesley sees an opportunity for innovation. Wesley never acts miserable in the face of adversity. Instead, he puts his tormentors behind him and uses his free time to create a civilization. This is the most constructive way to solve a problem that I've ever heard of. I think we can all learn something from Westlandia. Be yourself and the people who are worth knowing will realize just how special you are. Since childhood, I've been practicing the art of not sharing what people think about me and I would like to give a good deal of credit to my parents. My mom likes to tell a story about when I was in kindergarten and it goes something like this. She told me, Nicole, there are a few days of the year when I care what you're wearing. School picture day, family Christmas, maybe Easter. I think you're old enough to pick out your clothes the rest of the year. The next day I came downstairs wearing a flowered shirt and a flowered skirt and flowered pants and socks. None of the prints were the same but when my mom asked me why I chose that, I said, flowers go with flowers, mom, it's matching. I guess you can't argue with that logic so she sent me off to school. Sometimes it's difficult not to care about people's opinions and I'm not advocating for anyone to wear head to toe flowered clothing to their next job interview if they don't want to. But there are a few situations in life where it matters what people think and going to Target in your sweatpants at 10 p.m. is not one of them. I did this on Friday and I saw someone I knew so I said hi and went on my way. Sorry to break it to you but nobody cares that much about what you do. When people notice, what people do notice is how you treat them and how they feel when they're around you. Most of your embarrassing moments are probably only remembered by a few people and if someone really has a problem with your music choices or your tendency to wear five patterns at once, they're likely not worth your time. Maybe this whole speech sounds a little cheesy and you're thinking easy enough for you to say, Nicole, but I could never stop caring what people think about me. I want to be normal and that's okay. Sometimes it feels nice to fit in. So just start small. The next time you're worrying about what someone on the street thinks about your lackluster bike riding skills, focus instead on making it up the next hill at your own pace. When it's laundry day and you're wearing a baggy 20-year-old sweatshirt, don't freak out when you open your front door and some college kid with a clipboard wants to talk to you about your local election. Once you realize that strangers don't care, try it with people you know.  They were probably relieved that someone else also has problems walking and talking on the phone at the same time. Who knows, with all the time and energy you save, not worrying about what people think about you, you'll probably have time to start your own civilization. As is hopefully evident, I have made violin a fairly important part of my life. More specifically, however, I did this independently. When I was six, my mom brought me to the Civic Center, which is now the Overture Center for a Madison Symphony concert. While she expected me to sludge with boredom, I sat on the edge of my seat for the entire Weber Overture Brahms Concerto and Mozart Symphony. On the car ride home, I announced with all the unshakable confidence of a kindergartner that I wanted to play violin. Over the past 11 years, violin and music in general have been many things for me. An escape from academia and work, a passion cone through OCO, and yes, some time an extended, torturous practice session, trying to master tenths, which my fingers can barely reach. Most of all, however, it has been a symbol of my independence, which in turn drives my self-confidence, self-motivation, and passion. This, I think, is the core value of independence for any individual. A sense of independence provides a sense of self-confidence, which in turn agendas self-motivation and allows one to find one's passion. Conversely, lack of independence strips us of these values. Some of my peers feel too dependent, relying on parents to provide both financially and emotionally, and to direct their lives rather than independently doing the latter. These peers struggle to find self-confidence, self-motivation, and passion. They dabble in drugs, binge drink for fun, and fall into anxious hells of uncertainty about themselves and independence. Fortunately, I have also seen some of these peers lift themselves from these states. One friend, we'll call her Lily, did this so beautifully that it shaped my expectations for college and even life as a whole. Lily, much like myself, focused 90% of her energy and soul on academia throughout her high school years, seeking to get into an Ivy League caliber school. Qualified though she was at the end of her senior year, she, like so many of my incredible dedicated peers, opened rejection letter after rejection letter. Lily ended up going to a highly ranked public university, yet felt understandably devastated and struggled with depression throughout her freshman year. While her friends had wonderful experiences at their dream schools, Lily bemoaned her lack of fortune and wallowed in a state of, and wallowing, and wallowed in a state of paralyzing depression. But then she realized something crucial. Sure, grades are important. Sure, schools and universities are important, but the ability to learn independently, to find a sense of self independently and to find self worth independently, this matters so much more. Lily is currently pursuing a major and two minors and even has a bare shape of post undergrad plans in her mind. She's begun to find her passion in this vast world we inhabit. So for you music musicians out there, I've gone through my exposition and development and I've finally arrived at the recapitulation in Kota. Independence is no easy feat. Some people are born with a more independent nature than others, but for everyone it's something we must work to find and develop. But it's worth it. Walt Vittnens, when I heard the learned astronomer exemplifies this, we must reject the simplistic rigidity of the charts and diagrams in academic learning and instead rise and glide independently. With this independence, we'll see the stars and constellations of self-confidence, self-motivation and passion. Today we take a moment to stop and recognize those among us who are making the transition from youth to young adulthood. We are here to affirm and celebrate all that they have brought to our community and to bestow our blessings for their journeys. But first, a thank you to those who have supported our youth group throughout the past year. Our youth program coordinator, Linda McAfee. Our advisors, Deb Lawrence, who's not able to be with us, Tim and Jenna Hansen. The bridging ceremony is a rite of passage that welcomes these bright and energetic people into the rewards and responsibilities of young adult life. The bridge has two sides. One is childhood and adolescence where they have become leaders and role models. The other side is a vast frontier of the unknown, full of boundless opportunities and new challenges. We, the members of this church community, stand on that other side. We stand there with our arms open to welcome them, our minds prepared to mentor and learn from them, and our hearts prepared to share our life together with them. And so I'm going to call up our bridgers, Marcos Allen, Cullen Chosey, Nicole Frye, Aurora Green, and Ray Loffer. And if those who are giving blessings will please come forward. My name is Leslie, and I speak as the voice of Unitarian Universalist Religious Education. We have served you through religious education classes in our youth program. We have tried to give you the gifts of freedom of thought, loving community, a sense of justice, and a deep love of this bountiful world. We hope that we have nurtured a new sense of identity as a Unitarian Universalist and as an engaged citizen in our world community. We hope that you will remember what you have learned and use it to believe in the strength of your spirit and to build a strong and just life. Why not to cry? Our names are Henry and Eve, and we speak as the voice of Unitarian Universalist Youth. We've spent many Sunday evenings together in fellowship and joy, creating memories and great food, new stories, and chalice ornaments. As you leave this community of youth, we hope you remember the gift of listening and the stillness of heart. We hope you keep with you the gift of our laughter and the joy of our songs. And may you continue to grow in mind and spirit and body forever, our friends, forever in our hearts. My name is Emily, and I speak as the voice of Unitarian Universalist Young Adults. We have watched you grow as we taught your classes and heard your stories. We welcome the individual gifts of your soul, the hopes you bring, the anxieties we share. We welcome the blessings of your fresh vision and inspiring energy. We represent the promise that there is community on the other side of the bridge. We welcome you into that community in conferences, churches, and campus ministry programs here or wherever you might go. And as the voices of the youth ensure our religion remains ever aware and ever evolving, we remind you that your voice is necessary to our faith. As you join the young adult community, we give you our blessing that you may find among us friendship and support, yearning, and joy. And my name, as you know, is Kelly. And I speak as the voice of the Unitarian Universalist Ministry. We served you as we served this congregation that nurtured you and embraced you. We have tried to give you the gift of roots and wings. We hope that you will treasure what you have gained here and do your part to nurture what we have together. We bless you now with history and leadership. And if you all will join me in the congregational blessing, which is printed in your order of service. We speak as the voice of the congregations. We provided for your religious education and youth program, and we cherish your voices in our halls of fellowship. We have tried to give you the gift of a place to belong, a place of friendship and growth. We hope that you will know that we are here for you as you travel on your many adventures. And that as you deepen and grow, so too will the tradition that cherishes you. We bless you now with honor for this rite of passage into our wider Unitarian Universalist community. Tim and Jenna are going to give each one of our bridgers a token of our appreciation, little gifts that they can carry forward with them. And in there, there is this prayer that I'd like to share with you all today. I send you out now to share yourself with the world. May its promise and complexity set your mind ablaze. May you hold fast to what your life has taught you. May you question everything. And when you have changed the world and the world has changed you, may you return again to this place and share what you have learned with us will be waiting. If you can join me in congratulating our bridgers standing and join in our closing hymn, number 1064. And because I could not do everything, I will not refuse to do the blessed be and go.
