All right cyber traders welcome on back and closing up shop here for the week this Friday, February 12th Pre Valentine's Day pre-president's day. That's the reason why the markets closed of course coming up Monday. Great to see everybody Let's get a quick sound check just to begin. Make sure everyone can hear me loud and clear Perfect great to see everybody I see on my calendar on my whiteboard I have this like heart across the 14th denoting Valentine's Day I got it and then presidents day of course on the 15th coming up Monday Great to see all of us though Bonnie Dave John Dave a June Norman who did really well earlier today I know he's finished up for the most part Irving and Joe great to see you all loud and clear from all perfect and along with that social media folks on YouTube and Facebook live Welcome on back. Hey to start this cheapy this NOVN I was flipping through Benzinga pro right away before we started and there were two stocks right away that pointed out that You know appealed to me going into this afternoon You know, I normally wouldn't look to expect for there to be a whole lot heading into a holiday weekend Heading into any weekend really Friday's normally We don't really see a whole lot at least up until 330 But you know at least for right now the NOVN trade breaking a new high breaking over to 50 That is 50 cent level. That was the previous high just before And I'll push it up 5 cents north. So yeah for the afternoon the NOVN trade easily I'll just put this on our main on our main watch list This one I think that we had on our pre-market watch list if not mistaken I don't think it made the the main cut after nine o'clock when Fausta finished up the morning meeting But we were watching this early on in pre-market had some activity was up big at the time, of course So the news out on this. I just want to take a look From Benzinga pro here, I just see from yesterday 538 in the afternoon yesterday NOVN shares trading higher company to issue a us patent titled Nitric oxide releasing there. It's a whole bunch of stuff here. I'm not gonna So I'm just gonna copy and paste folks. You'll see what I mean here in just a moment Mouthful had a long week a lot of talking so with that in mind That's the news for right now at least either way the NOVN trade pushing up beautifully nice level one stock heading into this Friday afternoon So I put this on our main list to begin and then the other one I wanted to jump to What was the other one right away folks give me the sound check right there? So I got a scroll up DPW. That's right So DPW we saw make a new high just before as well This one making a sharper run for the afternoon breaking out over 530 the previous high and Beautiful move up towards just about 580 and then breaking above 580 just now So for the meantime DPW, we now know that they are back. I think in the blockchain market or blockchain sector However, you may phrase it. Uh, they were back in 2017 2018 Then actually I specifically remember back in like 2019 or maybe even early 20 There was a news report that came out that said that they don't have an affiliation with like blockchain or like bitcoin whatever All right, whatever. That's fine. Then they actually said all right Well, we're gonna dip our feet back into it again the bitcoin mining market that is So for right now with bitcoin moving back up again a bit So DPW making a sharper push definitely gonna put this on with the NOVN So the news out on this if anything, I don't really I don't really see any news specifically on DPW We had our eyes on a few different blockchain stocks, you know Fausto put the right the Mara on our main watchlist today the FTFT we had our eye on as well So right you could see ended up making a beautiful move up towards just about 52 50 52 73 the high and pulled back Mara, you know pretty much the same thing We also were watching the FTFT though. This one ended up making a really nice move up earlier I mean as soon as the market opened took off But this thing's been teasing a really strong breakout off of eight bucks just across the whole day I ended up taking I think it was like a minus seven or minus six then I picked up 12 cents And I was fortunate to pick up that 12 cents because I had my eye on bitcoin at the time It's a friday right now folks. I closed out my bitcoin chart just before I stepped away from my desk earlier So I don't have it up right now. I would normally show it I showed it for all of us inside the room just earlier yesterday, but yeah I mean we saw bitcoin move up FTFT made a nice pop over eight I ended up picking up 12 cents because well once I saw bitcoin make a short little drop I got out right away So I took 12 cents at 812 dropped like a rock as soon as that happened And for right now it's back over eight The hope is to see this hold over eight for this to break out actually pretty soon from right now I can't just hold over eight at this point You know, we were looking for the breakout earlier We were looking for the higher low off of eight earlier and we didn't really get it So I think this is kind of now or never on this FTFT I actually would feel pretty confident here But it's just to say if it breaks below eight if we see bitcoin drop then I would certainly expect this to go with it So don't try this over and over and over and over because it's already happened so many times This is kind of our last shot. I feel good about it But again, if it breaks just move away from it with the volume off of eight You're expecting a really nice move up I think it's just that we've had a couple of larger orders blocking this from really running higher Off of 830 and then from there 850. So for the meantime, I mean you could even still see like 825 Then the you know, big one up at 830 All right, so slip this on our main list for right now the FTFT at least All right, so what we'll do folks just again go from top to bottom John here in the chat board says Monday a federal holiday not a male holiday. It's very good to know John Actually, I didn't know that myself. I assume that was no male either. So I appreciate you saying that I Never know if any of these holidays anymore. I mean I appreciate all of them, but it's just I you know male federal holiday market closed market open I have a buddy who's a lawyer. He was off today, you know along with Monday So you never know so we'll go from top to bottom folks Actually, I think the cl eu somehow jumped the wnws. I just clicked but yeah, look at that It actually did squeeze and pack up now funny enough. Geez. Good timing. I guess I don't I don't know This thing ended up making such a big pop in pre-market early on I mean even after eight o'clock ended up running up beautifully from 650 ish six bucks all the way up towards just about 10 Uh, you know after the open you knew what would happen on a stock like this I don't need to say it any further But yeah getting a second run up or even third got halted once just before And then reopens consolidated. So here's kind of our third squeeze up right now into the afternoon on this like uh cl eu The frog might throw it there my apologies. Uh, let's just see if there's any other news on this right now I don't have anything from Benzinga pro just says halted on circuit breaker. Just resume trading moving higher Obviously as you can see that I'll keep this on the side normally for a stock that made this big of a move already a pump a dump It wouldn't make a second huge move back up and this is already is a huge move So I don't know how much more I would expect. That's the thing Might be late to the party here at this point The w n w just gonna pass on this for right now I just wanted to click here to show the the squeeze up earlier It just kind of like I said before I wouldn't expect for this to make a whole new move up heading into the afternoon I don't know what that will happen on the daily chart. This is a new IPO that went from 798 all the way up to 160 and above and then back down like this thing's been all over the place Huge spread either way. I'm just gonna pass on it Uh Speaking of tough to trade I mean, we're not going to watch this for the afternoon but just to recap it quickly This arto is definitely one that I was more focused on More focused on going into the market open, you know inexpensive tight spread even right now very good book But man, that was tough to trade myself and fowst over talking about this during the morning audio commentary inside our trading room And it was just so shaky minute by minute We ended up doing all right, but then we ended up taking a couple of losses small losses But then from there we just stayed away rightfully so and ever since you could see what happened So it's just not worth trying to follow once the volume the momentum begins to die off on the way up There's only one other way it goes. I mean usually much more often than not. There's only one other way it goes so That's where I'd say just find something else move on to something else scan scan the market This ldi kind of the same thing as w n w. It's just not worth watching really Oof tops all right for any of our long time students or members inside our live trading room now Are we gonna get teased by this stock again or what the stock has been a big tease of ours for quite some time I'll go through a really quick synopsis of this but back in like 2016 even 2017 at this point you can't even like Tell based off a gear. It's like such a funky graph But and it obviously didn't make this exact move up But tops was one of like a few different shipping stocks that got squeezed up back in 2017 It was crazy. I mean at the time and the chart doesn't reflect it of course, but It was this it was the stock ship shi p and then ron w one of our students from back then it said Is there still a dry's dr ys? No dry's got delisted a long time ago Think like a year and a half ago two years ago at this point dr ys I mean these shipping stocks were the first like real short squeeze that I personally experienced That stock dry's that ron typed in the chat board there Stock went from if i'm not mistaken like two to 120 at the time Wonder why it's delisted Kathleen says I couldn't believe I didn't lose money on it back then right I mean, you know, it's pretty crazy though because history repeats itself Not just in the term of a short squeeze like we saw in game stop and amc and like pretty much dry's and tops And all those shippers they ended up making the same exact move that you see on the daily chart for for game stop, right? So it's not just to say history can repeat itself Generally with like a short squeeze, but it could be set on the same stock tops It's not going to make like a move up to 100 or 200 and if it does hey really god bless But i'm not going to put my eggs in that basket, but it's just to say what if what if a stock like this Can make a move up to 10 or 12 Certainly not impossible History proves it So yeah, either way tops going to put on our main watch list as a day trade Keep that in mind folks. I'm speaking of this as a day trade for right now This ship both of these look pretty good pretty strong near the highs heading into the close So i'll put them on our main list for for right now Tops and ship All right, so there's ship. There's top tops now five and six on the gainers list here So we'll keep it moving Yeah, mitch here in the youtube stream Welcome back mitch. He's asking about vt vt. We'll get to that in just a moment Okay, co this one was a nice push from earlier this morning. You could also see on the daily chart I mean this ended up taking a huge dive back in like what appears to be 2019 I don't know if this was an IPO back then, but we'll take a look Oof. Yeah, I mean pretty new chart, but Big drop off. I don't know if there's like reverse splits factored in but this is also like the same type of stock Like the the shipping stocks that could make that same type of like short squeeze up Higher lows pushing up pretty well up towards the high there off 170 173 the the real high, but iceberg off 170 I would imagine I'll keep this on the side here for right now this lkco I mean it wouldn't do us any harm to add it to our list I just want to kind of prioritize and just kind of skim through better That cl e u to 11 is that is that what's going on right now? Or is that your prediction there sonny on youtube? I haven't checked in with it in the last few minutes. So if that just exploded to 11 Holy smokes if that's your prediction, I hope I hope it does But uh, we'll see we'll jump back to that in a moment FTFT we'll check in with this maybe we'll scratch this offer list Kind of choppy back under eight. I said it was kind of do or die from there, right? It's not really do or die just yet Market closes at four o'clock, but for right now I'll kind of demote this even Not a fan of seeing that pull back down now underneath eight. So let's see if there's anything looking better Can I mean up until just before it was great? I mean Ended up making a huge bounce from 10 under and over from 10 broke out from essentially 11 off a double break from there but Uh, it ran all the way up towards the high at the time off 13 50 played the 50 cent levels and whole numbers really well But as of now just pretty flat. So very tradable. I think I said this just all throughout this week This was a great sideless stock from the get-go just given the volatility the ability to short I said that back. I think even on tuesday when it was at seven I didn't expect it to squeeze up to 13 50 money. That's not what i'm saying here But it's just to say it provides great opportunity as a day trade great liquidity on the order book The fact that it's moving up now to 13 or so You know the spreads opening up a little bit the order book starting to thin out a little bit there But you know from all this week It was a great stock to watch and still keep it on your list going into uh next week Let's see any other familiar names here just on this gainer's list. Obviously, there's going to be a lot more Uh 35 here number 35 is up just 21 just only 21 So that's where I'll say folks if there's anything that's up like 10 or more that looks really good I mean, I'll just say it now type it in the chat board. We'll just jump right to it in a moment trch ended up making a nice pop going into the afternoon here off 12 30 eastern popped essentially from 240 blasted through 250 And still seems to be tradable Pretty close to the highs building like this pennant pattern here filling in sideways higher lows lower highs A lot of sideless material nothing that's like really making me like jump right to it We have a few but you know, we'll see if the cleu ends up dumping back down or not Uh, or I'm sorry. I mean the dpw the novn the the shipping stocks. I mean This img I'm maybe getting a little second wind up towards the 10 50 level, but I think I'm going to pass there All right, uh, we got from jose saying kronos pop cron. That was one that we called out earlier Oh, I thought he was talking Pop is a new high of the day did pop So I appreciate that. Hopefully there's more to it than this if it did break over 12 50 once again So this would be the moment to see this really make a nice move. Jose if you're in from that 12 50 That's a nice trade. Uh, definitely good call I I thought it was a new high of the day. So I jumped to it. I was like, oh, I've popped over 13 again As a ways to go to get back up to 13, but Yeah, I mean I given the afternoon move and it's one that we're pretty familiar with We're not really at too big of a list right now. So this will make the cut xx ii Just at four dollars of 41 000 share order It's at the highs right now. It's up like seven plus percent. I appreciate the trend It's moving up nicely for like a level one stock I want to see if there's anything anything looking just even better I've jumped to mitch's vt vt from youtube Ah, mitch, I don't know I don't know mitch that Pop and drop, right? So I appreciate the call out at the time, but at this point now That's why I like looking at this trade now after the fact. Let's see this die off Michael says here the uh, fsr bouncing up Uh, yeah that ends up making a really good run from earlier today. Uh pop from essentially 18 I mean it dipped all the way down a 17 27 mind you, but you know once it rebroke through the 18 That's your slingshot. It just blasted into orbit there. So I Yeah, kind of making that under and over from the 1850 here Definitely still seems to be tradable And given the volatility from earlier It does provide more opportunity than some of the others that we've looked at so far So again, it's not like where we're at like 11 12 stocks. I certainly will put this on our list for right now this fsr Do I expect it to you know break new highs and a run up, you know to 20 again. No, but if this can give us 50 cents a dollar, I think that would be really good And that goes both ways Mike, right? You know that I mean if this just rebrakes below 1850 We might see 18 that could be a good short from rjf The artl as a tongue twister for some reason Big iceberg at 250. Yeah, definitely good call in the iceberg, but it's washed up I wouldn't expect much on this trade for the afternoon All right, I'm gonna jump to benzinga pro here quick. I mean first and foremost ship Maybe we don't need to have 20 stocks or 15 or 12 stocks on our watch list We have the ship moving up even higher Trust me. I'm saying ship and not the other word that you might think I'm saying there I remember back one day and this is like yours back. I have this like painted in the back of my head like back in grade school Teacher thought I said one word when it was really ship So pretty funny, but tops along with it ended ending up making nice push up towards the highs right now So, I mean, hey, we have really good stocks on our list so far We don't need to have like 10 or 12 or 15. Like I said, uh jaguar though getting a nice push It's popped up on my benzinga radar right now. So this is one. We're pretty familiar with I hope there's a lot more left to it here See if there's news And not really no news yet that I see W and w I think pushing up higher right now. That was one of the top percent gainers we started off with So I just wanted to point that out that just popped up also on my radar Um, listen, we're not going to put this on our main list if anyone's in from a lower price God bless you are doing fantastic but As a day trade at this point right now up over 112 percent on like a 70 plus cent spread or so It's not worth it. That's it. All right, uh, Bonnie here. Lastly. I like the stock. We'll take a look at it can Pushing back up. So I didn't like put this on the side list even but now getting a nice little push back over 13 So showing a little bit more life to it. I'll slip this on our main list right now. Good call FTFT pretty pretty lame right now the CLEU dumped all the way back down to eight I think game over on that for the most part. I just you I kind of expected that The old kco I saw from earlier. It looked all right to begin the meeting But at this point now over the last like five or seven minutes dumped back down I would expect that I was just hopeful. So at this point now i'm going to pass All right, so how about this? I got a question from one of our members on youtube right now We're going to finish it off with this. Uh, they're asking Hey Which according to you is the best scanner is it scans as an sk a nz? Is it trade ideas or uh, what are your thoughts on ctrm the stock? So I will look at ctrm I didn't read the last part of your question at first, but I will say in terms of your other questions. Why don't you join us coming up next tuesday or this upcoming tuesday? That'll be on the 16th. So for all of our uh members on youtube facebook live I'll just sign off with this. Uh, we're doing our trader's talk workshop Which we always host which we're still hosting inside our live cyber trading room But you know one out of three times a year will tend to host it for free on social media So feel free to join us and hey, I would look to ask that question coming up on tuesday I will certainly answer it right there It will give you a really good idea as far as you know What we're doing really inside our trading room the x's and o's not just the call outs Not just the watch lists, you know We're not trading every one of these stocks and for the stocks that we're trading. Are we going long? Are we going short? Where are we taking these trades from and how are we getting them? So i'll answer all of those questions and everything else like coming up on tuesday the 16th Keep in mind folks also for all of us. Uh, I mean this goes across the board, but anyone Watching internationally outside the us. Uh, we have president's day here in the us on the 15th I mean it might even be washington's birthday. I forget the title of it as to why I think it's president's day Nonetheless, though markets are closed in here in the us So we're going to be off on monday. No streams nothing on monday, but coming back on tuesday the 16th We'll be back to our normal program And then of course we'll do our traders talk workshop that tuesday at that'll be at 11 a.m eastern time by the way 11 a.m eastern time that tuesday the 16th All right, so uh the ctrm though at this point pretty washed at that say the same thing Just ended up making a big pop and drop back from yesterday Dumped down and back up today So maybe there's a little life, but after this little move up over 150 and back under it if it doesn't pop in the next like Three to five minutes.  I'd imagine All right, folks So I think that just about does it I think all in all we have two four six And then seven stocks on our watch list outside of those I'll probably be glued to all my crypto currencies all of that Everything not bitcoin necessarily, but all these other like alt coins are like exploding on me right now like hardano v each It's been a wild day for me with that if anything So I'll probably be more drawn to that than anything But um if there's anything else folks say we'll look to scanner benzingo We'll scan our platforms work together as a team inside our live trading room And uh, see if there's anything else we can get going into the final few minutes of this week of this week. All right, folks All right, so for all of us in social media, enjoy the weekends That's my sign off there and I look forward to seeing you back on tuesday at least for our trader stock workshop And then for all of us live inside the trading room. Give me a quick moment I'll jump back on the mic at 3 30 going into the final 30 minutes. Take care


Welcome, everyone. This is the Jenkins UX special interest group. It's the 29th of March 2023. Thanks for being here. Topics that I had on the list. I'm going to move this one down because I don't see Christina here. So, what's happened recently in UI improvements. What's coming in UI improvements work in progress. User feedback. I think this one. I don't see any new topics for it. I'd propose to leave it here unless the rest of you say, hey, we're done with this. Any other topics that we added to the agenda. Tim, are these are any of these where you would like to be the voice to talk to a specific topic or a specific item. Thanks. Okay. All right. Okay, then, then I'd say let's go ahead with. You have the floor. Do you want to share a screen you want to just talk what would how would you like to introduce. I'll show my screen. That's right. Great. Yes. I'm going to stop sharing. Okay, go ahead. Awesome. All right. So just go over some of the improvements that have come recently to Jenkins. So I guess I'll start from the dashboard. So we have the items on the thread that was posted I think last UX meeting. Lots of good suggestions. So definitely take them on board. One of them was kind of replacing the icon legend, rather than having a full page is quite heavy. We have a lightweight modal. It's a nice kind of pattern we reuse across Jenkins. Easy dismissible very fast interactive. And it kind of gets happy when you don't need it. It's quite nice. I'm working on a PR at the moment, which I think I may have demonstrated many moons ago, which will kind of redo the confirmation dialogues. If you hit delete build, you'll get a more visual pop up for that. Or on the plugin screen, when you uninstall a plug in, sometimes there's warnings because it might have kind of consequences or you might impact other plugins. We can now spread that in a more visual way that's kind of more apparent to the user. Kind of what they're doing. It's quite nice. The next very recently was kind of renaming some of the settings. That's just a simplification of the naming scheme. So I believe previously it was like configure system, manage notes and clouds just dropped the kind of starting word, kind of simpler. There's an update for the credentials plugin. I don't believe it's been merged yet, but hopefully soon. We'll update the icons as well as adopt the kind of simplified naming scheme. And then lastly on the manager side, just got a refreshed about Jenkins just a bit cleaner. Solve some of the issues we had with the sidebar previously, but like the version wasn't easily copyable. And we now have a little get involved link to kind of push people in the direction of getting involved, which is nice. And that's that's it for like a remember about what's happened recently. Could you take it? Well, could you continue sharing? Could you take it back one page? I think there was one point that it was. Oh, no, maybe this. Okay, I'm not sure this was. It's now slipped my mind. Sorry, that's there was there was a capability you added that looked especially interesting to me. I'd like one more page on. Yep. Oh, right, right. It was the pop up dialogue. Okay, you described something I do frequently, which is, I clean things up by deleting builds. And you were saying that it's whereas icon legend now has has a nice modal that appears in page, because when I delete a build today I get a big ugly browser driven pop up. It's something okay, your intention is to switch that as well that eventually that will become a modal that appears in page instead of being a separate window generated by the browser. Yeah, I believe there's some inconsistencies as well. Depending on the type of bottom of deleting might get a full page delete sometimes you might get a little art consistent as well. Oh, oh okay so yeah. Okay, consistent at the moment. So mostly mostly get a new page but not always. Sometimes the browser alert.  I could I could show it because the one I usually do is not delete pipeline I'm deleting an individual build, or an individual branch in a in a multi branch job that's now done. So when I do that, I get this pop up that is a is a browser alert, and it's really a browser alert. Yeah, okay you get interesting. Okay that's much better looking than the one I get. It's different it's depending on whether sort of freestyle or pipeline and stuff it's all different to differently. Okay good alright so this, this is all that experience is already better than the, than the experience I've been seeing. If you click the reload configuration from the manage page I think that's a browser one. Yeah. Okay. Thanks. Alright, thank you very much. Yeah, stop sharing. Any questions for yon others who've got topics they wanted to raise to to yon on what he just shared with us. Okay I'm going to pick up sharing and let's look at at the next stop on the agenda. On the what's coming topic. The simplified setting names is actually done now right you've you've that's implemented you you showed that to us. There is. There's not a PR but which is kind of under discussion about renaming manage Jenkins that's your page just to be settings. We'll see where that goes. Good. Very good. One of the features that you'd like, like a discussion on so the card layout if I remember correctly has not been merged yet but feature flags has been merged right. This was the proposal from Vodek felonie that, and I think I've seen that it had merged if I remember correctly. It does yeah but there's no feature flags. Okay so none implemented. Currently. Great. All right. Any, any other topics that you wanted to discuss or bring up. There is. Relating to the drop downs. Currently working on updating the political hetero lists and kind of repeatable element list to use the new drop down. This one here the drop your PR to that will be separate. Okay. Yeah but I'll look identical. I'll just kind of go through more of the system. Thank you. Any other questions that others want to ask so this was, you said it was a improved consistency of drop downs. Yes. Yeah for the kind of repeatable list element. Anything else there and since Christina is not here, I'm going to defer this one to the, to, to later it will have to happen in another meeting. Any other topics on the work in progress. Then how about on in terms of the user feedback. We had this post on the community that had given given some good feedback and I think there are a number of things that people have been taking action on trying to, hey how do we do this how do we improve it. Any other comments that want to be shared there. All right, I'm not sure what other topics should be on our list today do any others, any others have agenda topics that need to go on the meeting agenda for today. I have some questions. Okay. I'm a contributor and I would really like to contribute to the UI UX part of sentence. And I would really appreciate some guidance on where should I start at all seems very overwhelming. So one of the one of the thoughts that I had earlier today say Anton was consider reviewing and testing existing pull requests. I would like to use that review and test to familiarize yourself with the development techniques so yon's yon's pull requests or Tim's pull requests or oolies or, or others tend to highlight the techniques that are used, and then feedback on them. Oh hey I tested this and it behave this way is is appreciated, and will also let you see oh. This is how they use CSS in this context this is how they use jelly in this other context. So for me review and test is a good way to get started. Yon or Tim do you have or only do you have other guidance that you'd like to give. I think I'm looking at the existing Jenkins issues as well. There might be kind of small priority but still important issues that have arisen. It might have existed for for years for example that note at the time to actually could get around to doing it but you know was a hop on them. And another point is to look at things which you are interested in so because I'm interested in build results I'm just changing the user interface of build results. So if you are interested for instance in changing nodes or something like that then focus on that theme because Jenkins is so big you can't work everywhere so you need to pick your topic. And the best thing is to pick the topic you're really interested in so what is the most thing what you're interested in Jenkins so maybe that's a good point to look and edit at this topic and look into the issues for this topic. Everything because it's just to begin. So I took up an issue in the design library plugin. It's an old issue. But when I started working on it I found that there are many things I do not understand. And I don't know how to approach the maintainers I have asked questions in the issue itself, but I think the maintainer is busy. So, where should I start and how should I look for help. I posted in the GitHub by any chance. Yeah, it's in GitHub. No no no in Gitter. So sorry, so in the, I assume you exit on the Gitter chat. Okay. Because that, that location, that location may have more people watching it than are watching a specific issue. Right when you went a comment in a GitHub issue is like a comment in a bug report on Jira where you may get two or three or maybe four people are watching it whereas the chat channels we've got, we have more we have more people watching them, you may have a better chance of getting an answer. Is there any issue or topic in the UX part only which needs urgent or it needs help so I can be of, you know, use. Or should I look for old issues on. So I would think that that so you what your question was are you, can you help on new current things or or exit or older issues. And I think the idea of testing the existing issues, testing existing pull requests is certainly helpful. I'm not sure that say thinking you're going to contribute active development on current pull requests is probably too optimistic right you've got to develop some skills initially. At least that's my assumption. All right. So yeah that goes well my question. Thank you so much. Thanks for asking. Thank you very much insights from others or suggestions from others. Do we still have labels in Chira so I think if we look for user interface or user experience or UX in Chira. We will have a lot of issues where someone can start with. So, I'm not sure if we have a link somewhere with these labels, but not. Yeah, I think I can click it now and share it later here in the chat. Yeah, so certainly we've got the we've got the good first issue label. And, and there are other issues that are related to UX could also. Yeah, issues in the design library I think Santa and you had already said that you looked at the issues in the design library so that's a that's certainly a good place to see are there ways to get oriented there. But the components in the design library, the latest components used by Jenkins. They are the they are the preferred components used by Jenkins John is that a safe way to say it, saying that their latest Jenkins is 18 years of software development. And there are things that are popular that are not that are frequently used that are not latest design library is intended to be a view of how things should be and how we want them to be and what the, what the preferred approaches so actually one one take might be looking at the techniques used in the design library attempt to apply those techniques to some of the, some of the older components, thinking of the get plugin as an example thinking of some others where they aren't using the good practices that are highlighted in the design library, they need to be updated to use those good practices. Now, now I'm going to ask one young young and early and Tim. I've got some groovy code sitting in the get plugin that I would love to get rid of from its UI and have replaced with jelly. Is that something that would be good for someone like say on time to take on or is that too exotic and no don't don't. Okay, Tim's flinching him I see the flinch that's good okay. So, that's something you could try. It's not. It should be better, especially if you've got example progress where people have changed it before would be a good starting point depends how groovy it is though, it's been how much groovy isms you've done. And I didn't write it so so I can't predict how. Yeah. All right, so maybe not so Santa and I'm pulling back from that when you should ignore what I just said please don't don't heed what I just said. The complexity of the accessibility work that I know Christine has been highlighting, but that might be a topic as well, related to UX. That might be one that yeah that okay that's hadn't hadn't considered that one there you might. We might let me see if I can have, so I intend if you're interested I can see if Christine is interested in working with you on that one. There's certainly one that she's interested in. And it is an area that I don't think there's a lot of interest from others, nearly as passionately about it as some of the things that we've got in other places in the jank and joy. So just interested in CSS or things like that. You can have a look at the dark theme plug in and see. Yeah, how if every page already works with this plugin, because for instance my tables are not working in the dark theme plug in so maybe that's something you can have without jelly and just with plain CSS. How can we make all themes work for every element in Jenkins. So, this is a totally different topic. The NCSS seems a good place to start. Good. And I pasted a link in the chat, where we can have some issues or where you find the issues in Jenkins Tira with which are relevant with user interface. So let me put, I'm going to put embed that link here really because oops wrong one because I'm a Jira admin. I'm actually not going to open that page live on the screen. I never know what. Nope, I'll have to paste it later apparently I don't know how to do copy and paste. Thank you though. Any other topics that we need to discuss today. I have two questions or one question, which I'm wondering if what we are doing with this topic. So, can you show a one Jenkins instance mark just to I should care. Just our CI dot no really that's fine. One thing that's what is required for my plug ins to get us a one page screen where I can view everything in one page. And currently we have this footer. And somehow this footer is some kind of overlay. So I'm wondering how we can make it that I can have a screen page or maybe this is the wrong page maybe some detail page or can just click into a project and open some. Normally, this page is a little bit longer so you need to scroll. Okay, so let's look at one that's really long because I've got plenty of those like this one right. Okay, so let's look at this one. Oh, except if it's down. Oh no, okay it's here good. It's so big it needs a lot of time. CI dot Jenkins that I was very busy right now we we piled 1000 plus jobs into its queue yesterday and it's still recovering. So I may have to go here let's go to a different one will look at my personal server. Okay, so let's look here here. And maybe we look here. Here, and you want maybe we want to see something that has interesting results like this. Yes, yes. And here we see the footer is a is gone. It's just somewhere in the Nirvana so what I would like to have this footer stay always on top. I can have the page on the where the bill is this page should actually only scroll and not the footer. So I'm not sure why is our footer scrolling. What is the reason behind this. This is just historic reason, or has this some meaning that our footer is scrolling away. For me, I would, I personally at least prefer that the footer stays off my screen, most of the time. So I guess I've got a different view than you do really, I'm not sure what others position is but I don't like it when footers stick to the bottom particularly when all they've got in them is a little bit of version information, and a link to the rest API for me that's, that's real estate that I've sacrificed by not by if it stays on screen. I think that the main problem is that we have scrolling the left side the side panel is also scrolling. So, in my ideal world, the side panel would stay without scrolling and scrolling would be only this page where the build information is. But maybe I have a different opinion that's okay. So what I tried to do is to create my results so that you don't have to scroll the results. So scrolling is something which I don't like at all. So what I would like to have is one page where you can see everything in your page. And in order to achieve that I need to have a fixed size of the screen. For instance here, I, what I wanted to achieve is to, to have this page fill the full screen that is available but not more. So currently it's some, you know, some tricks that it is. Yeah, not really scrolling but you see, it's currently scrolling but I don't want to scroll. So is this something we are gonna want to have or is this just going from my fuse and I need to make an extra way on my plug ins. So I don't know what others think. So, so your goal here is to stay above the what I'm used to calling the fold so that I don't have to scroll downward right so yeah, you want to keep as much information as possible above the fold, particularly the most important information above the fold, but you don't know where the fold is is that is the reality is. For instance, if I click on the file coverage, then you see the files just on the top. Like that. Yes. And now this I want that this part is filling 100% of the screen and not more so how can I achieve that this is really annoying that I need to scroll. I don't want to scroll because the table itself will populate. I don't know how many columns or rows are available the table will grow at that size but now I have the scroll bar and I want to get rid of the scroll bar. But this is not possible yet so I'm wondering if we should try to achieve that. Yeah, if nobody wants it it's okay. And I need to look how I can make it in my plug ins but I think in general, these pages should not scroll. So right now what you're saying I think is that the the height of this table that we see the one that's that's coverage of all files is determined by a guess rather than by the explicit geometry of my my browser window. Yes. And if I use the browser window, I get in conflict with the future because the footer is some kind of overlay that is not calculated correctly. I would like to have a page and my page I would like to say a few hundred percent of the remaining space, but that's not possible and that's a little bit disappointed. Well, but it's but isn't isn't the message that you don't want to fill 100% of the vertical space because the menu over here has caused the vertical space to extend beyond below the fold. This is a different another problem. So, first of all, I would like to have the sidebar have a different scrolling that the rest. So currently the sidebar is locked with the content which makes no sense in my way so every other application has a fixed sidebar, which scrolls on in the sidebar and not the content. And we are having one scroll bar for sidebar and for content, which makes no sense for me. So normally the sidebar is a page or a sub page. I don't know how you call it technically. And normally you scroll the sidebar without scrolling the rest. Yeah, so, so I think I think the thing you're describing is sort of like we see here, where on this page on one of these pages for instance, the I need a long page. Yeah, but this is the same problem. Yes, exactly. So, right. I would like to have a Jenkins. Yeah, the left part different from the content. Okay. So currently the size of my few depends on the size of the side panel and that makes no sense. I would like to compute the size of my few based on the browser window. And currently it's the size of the whole screen including the side panel links and if you when you have more links. My page will get bigger and if you have less links my page will get smaller and that is some kind of disappointing. So, yeah, I'm not sure how others think about that. And I have no CSS skills to change that so I'm not sure how to proceed with this problem. There are some pages that have that sticky sidebar. All right, right. The plugin managers, the config Jenkins. They tried that. And then I had the problem that the footer did. Yeah, that when I take 100% of my few, then the footer overlays my page. So, maybe that's how we come again to the footer somehow the footer is not working as expected so it counts as pixels in when I take. 100% the footer somehow overlays my screen and that looks a little bit different strange. Would it be worth the concept of not having of being able to ask that the footer not be rendered on a particular panel, or is that is that flawed is that a bad choice. Currently the footer is the place where we have the rest API. I'm not sure this is something people need, at least in my plugins. But maybe the footer is the wrong place for the rest API. I don't know. Yeah, so even here on this page. Can you scroll just a moment. Yeah. Why is the menu on the left scrolling away this makes no sense for me here. So when you're scrolling the plugins, the menu, the side panel is scrolling away. This makes no sense for me. This is a bad user experience, I think. So the menu should stay at the place and just the content should scroll. I think on this page there is it was supposed to be like that. There's a book that's broken. Well, or it may just be that I'm two out of date on because this is 387.2 release candidate right so this is not current weekly. I think it made it in ages ago. Oh it did. Okay. If you go to like a job configuration. You should see the sticky side bother. Let's look at let's see are you okay with a pipeline job. Okay. Let's see if he's all right. Okay, yeah, that's okay. Okay, which, which really means we've got, we've got the tooling and the concept for sticky sidebar. We really do. It just is a matter of getting it more widely more widespread in Jenkins, because the concept is already here and implemented before job job editing for job configuration. But let's say when I'm or I presented it I think it was in two meetings ago, when I am trying to make it where these places were generalist where the description is when I want to have this part 100% of the screen. This is from general, including the safe and apply buttons but I want to have it 100% without the safe and apply buttons, because otherwise, the, the 20 pixels at the end are away. Puter safe and applies the wrong thing the footer at the bottom, it counts into my 100% I and I want to count it not in my 100% so I'm not sure I can say okay let's say I my page is only 90% but it would be simpler if I can say it's 100%. Most other UX frameworks work in this way that I can have 100% of the page and the rest fill the space that is remaining. Okay, I think I prepare a pull request with my plug in and then we can see if we can fix that with the footer somehow in core. I think the curve that the Jenkins kind of redesign prototype had something similar to what you were after. So just to see how that feels I think the rest for actual Jenkins to see the kind of feels right. But I don't agree. I think the sidebar should persist when it can. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks very much. Anything else for discussion today. All right. Then I propose we call an end for today. Thanks very much everyone for being here. Thank you very much for your time and your efforts thank you.


What's up everyone? Kyle from Driving and Vibing here and you're watching Road Gear Reviews.  Welcome back to the channel everyone. If this is your first time here, make sure you hit that subscribe button because we do put out new videos every week about some of the best road gear out there. Today is no exception. We're talking about the Marcell Home or RV monitoring system. Now just a few quick basics about this system is that it monitors the humidity and the temperature of your RV. It also monitors whether this is receiving power or not and it uses a cellular technology similar to your cell phones to report back that information to you wherever you may be if you have that cellular or internet connectivity. So first off whenever we receive this device we put it in our rig in a place that's you know a very livable environment that doesn't have direct sunlight or shade because we didn't want the temperature to have any bias. We wanted it to be as close to accurate as possible. Once we placed it there we went on to the website and registered our device ID. That was a very simple process but more specifically during this process I was also given the opportunity to set our parameters. So what parameters are for a device like this is that it gave me the option to set a safe zone for temperature and humidity. With the temperature we set I think 40 degrees was a low and 85 degrees was the high. That way the Marcell knows that if the temps inside that range not to send me any notifications but just report the regular data stay with humidity if it's not either either too dry or too humid it'll just record the data and not send me any alerts. The cool thing about this device though is in that registration process I could also say you know I want to be communicated with either through email text message or phone call. So if at any point the parameters were exceeded either high or low I get a text message almost instantly and that is what I love about this device. That's what's giving us the peace of mind that we did not have for the first two and a half years on the road. We're currently living full-time in our vintage fiber stream camper but as you can see here we are in this airstream which we are remodeling and the Marcell will definitely have a home inside here when we're done. Now let me get back to kind of like the pricing and the plans for this and how all the monitoring and data works. First off this device is like around 200 bucks and a yearly plan for that cellular service is right at around 90-95 dollars. So that's about a 300 dollar investment and then that will give you a year of service. You can renew yearly you can renew monthly you know it gives you some options. A few things to consider though and kind of what disappointed me in the beginning with this device is that I couldn't get on-demand reports for free. So how this device works is that even though it's constantly measuring the temperature and humidity only once an hour will it track the temp and humidity for data purposes and once every about six hours will it then upload on the website to give me the previous six hours of information. So you know when we first got this device we were super excited to keep an eye on the temperature and really monitor the rig while we're away but we learned pretty quick that that's not really a function of this device. You can buy on-demand reports. I think those reports cost two dollars for eight of them. I was tempted to do that in the beginning but as the novelty wore off you know that temptation left me pretty quick. In the case that your parameters are ever exceeded it doesn't wait an hour it doesn't wait six hours to tell you it tells you almost instantaneously through whatever form of communication you wanted. It will let you know if there is warning or high alert as far as those parameters go but just as far as regular conditions you don't really get the real-time reports. You'll get something that's slightly delayed. So on the website where I registered this I can also then go there and view the data. The data comes in sets of like a day a week or a month and it's really interesting and fun to look at the charts and see how I've been how the camera's been performing as far as temperature goes or cool or humidity goes. And I can track that over a course of a month. So something else to consider is there is not an app for this. So you can't just log on to an app and find this information on your iPhone or your Android device. But what we did do was go to the webpage on our iPhones and we bookmarked that site and saved it as an app icon. So I can just scroll through my phone press the icon and that'll take me directly to the website that gives me the data of our rig. We have a dog that we love dearly and she likes to stay back at the rig sometimes when we go run an errand at a grocery store. If we're doing that we want to know that the rig temperature is good for the dog and we want to make sure that if there is anything out of whack that we'll get a notice immediately so we don't leave our pet in a rig that would be too hot. That is for me the number one selling point for this device.  So the device for us just gives us that peace of mind and collects the fun information that we can look back each day each week or each month to really trap the temperature and humidity that's taking place inside the rig. I'll go ahead and link all the information for this below. I'm pretty sure you can buy this on Amazon. You might even be able to buy it on eBay and then go to their website and register it and you can just scan their website now and see what they offer. We'll put all those links below. Thank you guys so much for watching. Let us know if you use the system or let us know if there is another system out there like this that you use because this is the first I've heard of it. So thanks again for watching guys. Remember hit that subscribe button for weekly videos and we'll see you next time. Later on.


Are your animations looking a little jerky? I bet you play some games where the movement is slick and it feels so good. Well check out this tutorial on Scratch Velocity that also includes speed and acceleration. It's a slightly more advanced tutorial, but it's going to set you on to make a pretty epic trigonometry game.  This video is all about speed, velocity, and acceleration. We're going to define what each of them are through a few drawings over in sketch note and then we'll jump over to Scratch to see what's going on there. We're going to be doing all this to set you up to build a game and learn about trigonometry in future videos, so let's get stuck into it. All right we're just over here in sketchbook. We've got the y-axis going up and the x-axis going across. Both axes are incrementing in 10 pixels. We're going to be using our little spaceship here to understand speed, velocity, and acceleration. So let's get ready to blast off. So first we're going to be looking at speed and speed is just the amount an object moves or changes by. So here our object is our spaceship and the amount it's going to move or change by, we don't know yet, but let's just say down here we've got 10 pixels. Now 10 is a positive number and that's important because speed is always positive. To illustrate this I'm just going to grab our ship and place it over here at this spot. This spot here has a y value of 10 and it has an x value of 0. Now we're going to get a block that you're all probably pretty familiar with. This block is a change x by block and here we've got change x by 10. Each time we click this block our rocket ship should move 10 pixels across the x-axis to our new position where our x is equal to 10 and our y is equal to 10 also. The new position of our ship will be at x10 and y10. Remember the power of variables? We can use variables to change x and here we've just got a speed variable and currently it's set to 10 but it doesn't have to be set to 10. We could set it to 20 so the next position that our rocket ship would go it would skip 20 pixels across to x being equal to 30. The next spot would be 50 and the next spot would be 70 and so on. Notice how this is kind of just like skip counting that currently our ship's got a bit of an issue because it's going to change its x position by 20 each single time. Well what about if we're at x is equal to 70 and we want to go the other direction? Well speed's not going to help us out because remember speed is always positive. This is where we're going to need velocity. Velocity is just defined as speed except it's got a given direction and it can be negative. You might say hang on a minute we've already been moving in a direction. Well you're right we have been. We've actually been using velocity but we're just using speed as equal to 20 across the x-axis to use as a starting point. Now you could go ahead and just change speed and make this velocity instead and then chuck a negative sign in there. That would be fine. A nice little way that you could do it is keep speed there and you could multiply it by either one because if you take speed and you multiply it by negative one it just becomes that number as a negative. But most of the time you're going to work with something like this. You're just going to have a velocity variable specified here on the x-axis and we'll just be changing that velocity. So if we were to change our ship's x-position by x-velocity its next position would be at x is equal to 50 because we've just subtracted 20. We could do the same thing to the y-position we just need to change the y-position by a variable called y-velocity and here I've just set it to 10. So the next position if it'll just change the y-value would be up here at positive 20. If we change both of them at the same time we would change the y-value which would take us to here at y is 20 and then we'd need to change the x-value which is negative 20 and the cool thing is when we move both of these we end up creating a right angle triangle but I'm getting ahead of myself. We'll check that out in future videos. Now that we have some understanding of both velocity and speed let's head over to scratch and see our rocket ship in action. I've created a project to help our understanding of speed and velocity in scratch you can find a link to this project down in the description. I encourage you to go and check it out and play around with it. Now I've got our rocket ship here and our rocket ship in this project just moves along the x-axis. When I click the green flag you can see this. There goes our rocket ship across the screen. Now you notice when it gets to the end of the screen it bounces. When it bounces that signals a change in velocity. So what are these green and red little segments here? Well this is just a display of the current speed. We can change the value of speed using this slider. We can slow the ship down and you can see that as we slow it down these segments get closer and closer together. As we increase the speed they get farther and farther away. When you play around with this slider to either slow down or speed up your rocket what you're doing there is you are accelerating or you are decelerating it. I encourage you to use this slider to both slow down and then speed up your rocket. You can see when I do it quite quickly we can create some nice little easing motion there to simulate some acceleration and some deceleration. We can get our rocket to take off nice and easy and we can get our rocket to also stop. With the rocket stopped I'm going to grab the speed slider and I'm going to slowly increment it by one at a time. So there's two three four five six seven eight nine and before it gets to the end I'm going to stop it. Now this line is interesting because you can see here at the start all these line segments they're really closely packed together and as we increase the speed they got farther and farther apart and this is a visual understanding or visual demonstration of what acceleration actually looks like. I've just switched across to another project which you can find in the description down below that uses key presses to control the acceleration of our rocket ship. All right key press adds positive acceleration and the left key press adds negative acceleration. Check out the little box up here I'm going to hold down the left key press and you can see it's now set to negative one. If I hold down the right key press it's set to positive one so when we go left we add negative one and when we go right we add positive one. We can change this value by manipulating this slider here by changing the acceleration so if I put this down to zero point five when I hold down the left key we're adding negative point five and when I hold down the right key we're adding point five. The key thing I want you to remember about acceleration is that acceleration controls the velocity which is just speed and that makes sense right because when you're in a car and you accelerate you're controlling the speed you're either speeding up and when you put on the brakes you're slowing down you're decelerating. Okay I'm going to add some left key presses to our rocket ship and what I want you to do is watch the value of x velocity here and see you can spot the acceleration changing. Here we go we're going to hit it all the way up to negative 10. There we go we made it to the end now we're at the end let's inspect our line of acceleration. Back here at the start we had a really small velocity value you can see that by how close these line segments are together and then we increase the velocity and look what's happening to our line segments. They're getting bigger aren't they until we got all the way to the end where they're quite spaced out. Remember each of these line segments represents the velocity that we changed the amount that the ship moved so the width of all these line segments is the absolute value of the velocity and that's 10. Absolute just means we stripped the negativeness out of this negative number because you can't have a negative width so if you've ever been driving or seen someone else drive you'd notice that on the road there are all these speed limit signs that tells you the maximum speed that you should be traveling the same thing applies here in this project that refers to our max x velocity. If we didn't have this value velocity would just continue forever so I can minimize this value and restrict the speed to five so now when I press the right key our spaceship has a maximum speed of five I've just bumped that back up to 10.  You can increase acceleration so the rocket ship feels a little bit more responsive and the smaller that the acceleration value is the more sluggish it feels so it's a bit slower to get going. Now you've got some visual experience of what velocity acceleration does let's go ahead and program it in scratch. Okay I've got my fresh scratch project open and I've just added in the rocket ship sprite you can see over here in the costumes that I've reduced its size by selecting it and reducing it here using the box but size is set to 100 over in the project viewer. Go ahead and make it two new variables it's going to be called x acceleration and x velocity. On the rocket ship's right go ahead and grab out a when the green flag is clicked and a forever block and inside that forever block we want an if block and the condition is we want to sense for a key press so we want to sense when the right arrow is pressed and we want to sense when the left arrow was pressed. Do you remember what we're going to change inside of these blocks? Well it's acceleration and a right key press we're going to add positive acceleration and a left key press is going to be negative acceleration so let's grab a set block and we're going to set acceleration to one on a right key press and we're going to set it to negative one on a left key press. Now I've just hard coded this in remember in the other project we had that max acceleration value if you want to do the same thing just create a new variable called max acceleration and instead of setting the x acceleration to one we'll set it to the max acceleration in the negative acceleration we're going to go 0 minus max acceleration and this does the exact same thing so up here after I press the green flag watch the acceleration value as I press left and as I press right notice that it gets stuck so what we need to do is set x acceleration to zero before we sense for key presses you can see here it's reset back to zero and now when I press right it goes back to zero now I know that this block of code sets the acceleration so I like to create a custom block for that and now I'm going to grab all that code and pop it under set acceleration and then we can set acceleration forever now we're going to get our ship moving so the first thing we'll do is it'll set the x velocity to zero and we click the green flag and then we need to change the velocity by the current acceleration to do that we'll get the change block and we're going to change the x velocity not by one we're going to be changing it by the acceleration okay I'm just going to press the stop sign and the green flag to reset those values and now if I press the right key down you'll see our x velocity goes quite to a high value and when I press left it goes to quite a large negative number as well so we need to constrain the speed limit we need to constrain the velocity let's first create a variable and we'll call it max velocity I'm going to set max velocity let's say to five when we click the green flag remember we can change this if you're wondering why I'm using capital letters here it's just because this is a constant value I'm not going to change this value and I leave the variables that I will change to lower case or camel case now we need to create some conditions so if our current velocity is bigger than the max velocity well then we're going to set x velocity to that max velocity so what this is saying is that when the velocity is bigger than the maximum value we're just going to set it to that maximum value the condition is a little bit different for the lower end of the range we need a less than sign we want to know when x velocity is negative max velocity so do that we're going to get a takeaway operator go zero takeaway max velocity then we just need to duplicate this if statement switch out the conditions and instead of setting x velocity to max velocity we need to set it to the negative max velocity which is just zero minus the max velocity in the same deal I'm going to create a custom block and call it constrained velocity because that's what this block of code does and then I'm going to call constrained velocity after we change the x velocity by the x acceleration now test that out I'm just going to click the green flag here and when I press the right arrow key you'll see that x velocity is set to five and when I press the left arrow key it's gone down to negative five now it's been incrementing and decrementing the acceleration value so quickly that we can't even tell so now let's actually get our ship moving across the screen recall that velocity is just the amount that we're moving or changing the ship's position across the screen so to do that we can get a nice simple block we're going to change the x value not by 10 see you later I'm going to change the x value by the x velocity and now when I press the left key our rocket comes back into the center goes right and it goes left you notice a slight problem with our rocket if I take my finger off the keyboard it just keeps going how do we get around that the reason that's the way it is is because velocity always remains at five now ideally if we took our finger off the keyboard we would decay this value basically just means that we're automatically going to decelerate it we're going to change the velocity over time by making its value smaller the best way to do that is to set the velocity not to zero but to itself times now if we did times one it would just be setting it back to itself but we want to set it to a value that's a little bit smaller than itself so if we multiply it by something like 0.9 or 0.8 it's going to decay over time let's test it out there we go i'm going to speed up the rocket and now take my finger off and you can see here x velocity decreases over time so our for-revolute is getting a little bit unwieldy so you know me I like creating custom blocks to make it a little bit cleaner so this whole code block what it does it moves the ship so let's just move the ship after we set the acceleration there you go that's everything that we've done up until now I encourage you to go and explore this a little bit further of course our ship only moves in the x direction so you might want to do the exact same thing that we've done except the y direction another thing to check out is changing the values of max velocity and the acceleration you know bumping it up to 10 and making acceleration even smaller play around with these values and see which ones feel the best to you and there you have it this is the solution with all the y values and it as well and the other thing that I did is when the green flag is clicked I just set the starting position to zero zero so now you can watch our ship move across the screen with some nice feeling I'll leave a link to this project down in the description I know we kind of went the long way around in this tutorial but that was to build your understanding there was a quick and easy way to use velocity in your project so check out the card in the top right hand corner now to see that one you'll notice that as we move our ship around the screen it stays in the one orientation so to be really nice to rotate it and that's where our trigonometry series is going to start I'll see you in that video okay just before you go this tutorial is going to set you up to make a trigonometry game and if you want all the starter projects for the game in this series then I've got a downloadable pack where you can get all those scratch projects you find a link to that in the description down below until then I want to go find a way I'll catch you in the next one


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. This is for the 1973 Italian giallo film torso by Sergio Martino And I was very excited going into this one as you know If you've been watching my channel as you know I've been going through a lot of giallo films because shutter when I'm doing this review has a lot of them And I've gone through all that I have other ones. I already have reviews on so If you also are into giallo, there is a whole giallo playlist on my channel Check it out. I think at this point. There's like 22 23 giallo film reviews on there and I'm gonna keep going I have two more on shutter to do and Then I have some on Blu-ray that I'm gonna start doing and I'll get some more. I'm gonna keep doing it Maybe not immediately, but we'll get there. Anyway 1973 torso now this one I was very excited about because some people I know had said that this was their favorite and When people say, oh, this is your favorite expectations tend to go up But since I've seen so much giallo, I watched the film and I was a little bit let down. It's still good I still enjoyed it. Most of all, I think the visual aspect of it I really do like Sergio Martino and the way he directs and also the The all the visuals the cinematography looks really good There's a lot of nice visual stuff going on with the film, but overall it dragged a bit too much But there are a lot of good things, but obviously I'll get to all that during the main meat of the review So like I said directed by Sergio Martino who's also done films such as the case of the Scorpions tail All the colors of the dark your vices a locked room and only I hold the key the strange vice of Mrs. Ward one of my favorite giallo films The suspicious death of a minor the scorpion with two tails an American rickshaw Which actually American rickshaw is gaining a lot of traction right now? So I may be checking that one out at some point. I actually may be purchasing the blu-ray to check that out I've heard it's very interesting This was written by Martino and also Ernesto Gestaldi and Gestaldi was also Had also done work on scripts for the vampire and the ballerina werewolf in a girl's dormitory The whip and the body which I have a review for the case of the scorpions tail all the colors of the dark Also have a review for that the case of the bloody iris have a review for that your vices a locked room And only I have the key I want to get to that one the suspicious or I'm sorry the strange vice of Mrs. Ward I do have a review for that the suspicious death of a minor and the scorpion with two tails This was also called the bodies bear traces of carnal violence Now I kind of think that might be a better Title than torso. I mean torso doesn't tie a ton into the film I guess maybe from the standpoint of towards the end when the killer is You know hacking up the bodies I guess it's kind of a reference to he's kind of hacking them up So it's they're just a torso because I look like he was taking the appendages off, but I don't know I It's not a great title for it really I mean, it's a cool sounding title, but as far as tying into the actual film in the events and the story being told It's not a great title. The film was heavily edited for its English language markets It's a thing that was happening and I just I hate that it was happening But I like that with a lot of these that they're being restored to their original state and on shutter It's in Italian. There's no dubbing on this one on that version The cast was never informed who the killer would end up being so many of the people had Suspicions while they were filming and a lot of them ended up being incorrect Now this is a perfect time for me to tell you that I always like to guess with these Jala films early on in the film because that's usually when the killer has been introduced as early on and then you don't see them for a while so Very early on I set my guess as Franz the professor and I was right not for the reasons that I chose Which I will go over later, but I ended up being right I found I've been right about these Jalos most of the time, but I think that's because I watch so much of it I kind of understand the formula for how these these killers are introduced and then kind of They try to make the audience forget about them by not visiting them that much But they show up like just enough so that when you find out they're the killer you're like oh Okay, because you remember who they are because they've shown up a few times But they're not heavily in it. So you're not so focused on them. You're focused on other characters So they kind of just like slipped by The film has been cited as providing some inspiration for the Grindhouse films the Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino films that had come out And also hostile part 2 that Eli Roth did now having watched the film now From I see the influence maybe with hostile 2 from a visual standpoint of like the cityscape used But other than that I really don't see the influences Between this film and these films cited so I don't know Anyway getting to the actual events of the film I put down well It didn't take long to get to nudity obviously it starts with kind of blurry You know from from afar because they don't want to show you who's involved a threesome going on people completely nude So I was like oh, you know there's nudity and you you know You see breasts you see but stuff like that But That's that's definitely a way to to lead with nudity which a lot of these films feature nudity because we need to remember This was the time period. This was a selling point for film like this pornography was not nearly as Easy to obtain as it is nowadays on the internet. So those were selling points back then they were more titillating It was to have a sexy film like this was it was a big draw for for audience goers So, you know Remember the time frame. That's important. I do like the camera shutter like shuttering open and closed During that scene. I thought it looked really cool. It gives you the idea that there was actually, you know someone taking pictures of what was going on which I Guess that ended up coming into play. I guess what that may have been was Franz Getting it on with the two friends that he says in the end were blackmailing him because he can't have normal relations with women Because of what happened to him in the past, but I'll come back to that because I have some questions about that one That'll be at the end. There's a real long pause by Stefano when he gets turned down in the very beginning to give a ride to I think it was Jane and Stefano obviously is is the one that they focus on so much in the film because he seems like The easiest person to kind of pin as being it so back then back, you know when this film came out in 1973 You know people probably weren't as savvy with film as they are nowadays So they would watch it and be like, oh man, I mean that must be the guy But nowadays I think people kind of approach these films from a standpoint of well He looks so obvious. It's most likely not this guy And if it is this guy I'm probably gonna be mad at the story because I want something more interesting some sort of twist to it and that's what Giallo does so But they did they strongly strongly strongly went for for people to be suspicious of Stefano And I'll talk some more about a few aspects of that Nice camera work how it moves around the car and the couple having sex That's during the first kill scene where the couple's having sex in the car under that bridge and the killer kind of you know It's got the typical Giallo killer POV shot coming in But how it like all the movements kind of around the car really cool really smooth And that's something that Martino has going on in this film and other films of his that reminds me a lot of the camera work and directing from Mario Bava because He was very typical and kind of like a lot of kind of side-to-side movements to kind of open up the scene a lot more and You see it probably most or most strongly used by Martino in this film when they're in the villa Especially initially when the girls are in the villa and they're kind of like you know relaxing having some drinks in the main room And he kind of he likes to kind of you know get all the aspects of that room Which I think is great it kind of like it creates more for the the actors to work with on scene And it also makes the audience members feel like that scene has opened up more like you can see more of what's there And it's more immersive that way I feel The way the killer jumps out of the dark and strangles the woman in the beginning looks good, but she dies too fast I don't think it was actually realistic with how long it really would have taken her to be strangled to death with that scarf so How he jumps out of the dark and gets her I didn't see it coming right at that moment So good jump scare, but she dies just a little too too fast. That's you know very minor issue Great use of the cityscape in this I like the camera movement from one side of that cement bridge to the other as the one as I think it was Jane Passes under the bridge If followed her from the one side then then kind of pan over and and saw her coming out the other side I really like those type of camera movements once again talking about how great that is But also overall the cityscape the cityscape looks so cool Especially now in 2020 when I'm doing this looking back at a 1970s Italy It's cool to see that architecture. It's cool to see the cityscape, and I think the cityscape was used very well It's very beautiful. It's beautifully shot and it ends up playing well visually for the film The dope smoke and free love and party is a cool scene due to the setting of the rundown building Where I think it's Danny. No, it's not Daniela Ursula I think was the friend who went there with those two guys and they almost have sex and then she runs away from them kind of insinuating that these guys could be killers which Pretty much all males in this film are insinuated as potentially being killers So they really had a ton a ton a ton of suspects Which I think that was one of the big criticisms of this film By critics and and audience goers when it came out was that there were too many red herrings There are too many suspects. It was just too confusing and too tough to figure out Which you know, I feel like that's a good thing though But anyway, yeah that dope smoke and free love and party I thought it looked awesome because once again, you know It's a shot that shows a lot of the scene and it's like very far back in this rundown building It just looks really cool and then with the music that they're playing throughout it and people dancing. It's a cool scene They paint once again, they paint so many males in this film as hyper aggressive Therefore giving the feeling that they could be killers, you know It doesn't take that that much for people to see a character who's hyper aggressive and think okay Well now they can be a murderer. It's not that much of a jump to get there The shot of the second woman victims blood flowing down her arm and the mud looks great I like that kill in general because of the setting of it in the woods when she's running away You know first she sees the silhouette kind of in the mist of the killer and then he's coming after her slowly She's falling down in the mud how dirty it is looks really good and the puddles But like I said the that final moment that they show of her bleeding out Over her arm and into the mud looks really cool. Once again, really nice visuals in this film.  So there are a lot of scenes of just like staring going on which is a little bit annoying It's a little excessive The scarf vendor says he sells so many of those particular scarfs the one that was used for murders But then he makes that extortion phone call indicating that only one person bought that So then we found out later at the end that Franz had purchased the actual Particular one that was used in the murder, but that Stefano had one that was basically the Opposite color scheme, but the same pattern So that was an interesting kind of like visual thing that people if they were really paying attention would pick up on I did not first because you don't really look for those things You just see that the patterns the same and the colors are the same, but you don't look at the color scheme necessarily It's hard to remember those things So I thought that was a cool little trick to use to kind of show You know this person has a scarf that's like it, but they are not the killer obviously So that also goes to what the vendor was talking about where he's like I sell plenty of these scarves But that one particular one because of this that particular pattern and color You know which color goes where within the pattern He knew who it was Franz and obviously he tries to extort him by calling him And then I guess that wasn't such a good idea because he gets run down by a car Creepy uncle spying on his niece is disgusting Daniela's uncle which actually for a little bit. I considered him a potential suspect You know I said initially I guessed Franz and I ended up being right with that But for a little bit I was like this creepy uncle is really creepy like he was looking through the door when she was had gotten out of the Shower was like checking out her legs gross Then he keeps talking so much about how he's going away to Paris and then there's that really interesting moment And I was like oh, maybe this is a hint where she He calls her he calls Daniela at the villa and she says where are you? Oh Paris? It sounds like you're in the next room and I thought that was gonna be hint that he's actually there and he is the killer But no that was a good kind of misdirect That they did in the story Based on the sequence of events leading up to it You would think the creepy uncle ran down the scarf vendor in his car since he was just leaving for Paris That's another one of those misdirects where you put a scene here And then you go to another scene and because you just saw this scene the audience Viewer thinks oh, they're somehow connected and I kind of did it that moment because I was like You know this uncle's talking a lot about going to Paris and then Immediately this scarf vendors being run down by a car and he was just leaving basically so maybe it's him doing that Pretty gruesome head crushing with the car by the way for that time for the 70s. It looked good I think first for 70s gore effects They really use the space of the villa's main room with the significant camera movements are I talked about that? Every time you see the killer's knife you get that glint of light on it Now this is something that a few giallo films have done. What was the most recent one? I can't remember the most recent one that did that that I that I reviewed But it was one pretty recently I reviewed and every single time that knife comes out There is that glint of light that they get on it. I like that. It's cool. It kind of makes it a little more menacing It's just a cool visual Stefano showing up at the door dead. I thought it was funny Now I didn't think it was funny from the story standpoint of it or the fact that he ended up being dead But when they opened the door at the look on his face is what was funny to me like his staring was just like Which he'd done that stare numerous times prior in the film So I thought he was just being a weirdo again But then you find out he falls forward and he has been killed by the killer. I like that as much as I would have liked to see the kill scenes for Jane's friends once the killer gets into the villa It has more impact to see them for the first time when Jane discovers them for the first time So I was really like oh we missed out on the actual kill scenes I really would have loved that but then as Jane kind of gets out of bed and she goes downstairs and she Finds the grisly scene There is a lot of impact especially within the story for that so I was then like okay I understand it is more important that we do it this way Jane seeing her friends hacked up is pretty horrific not from you know the standpoint of You know me watching the film. I wasn't like oh man This is horrific, but from the standpoint of watching Jane watch it and her acting behind it I was like that's horrific. So good job on that Good use of silence in this film when Jane's trying to hide from the killer I thought they did a really good job of you know taking the music away Which focuses on how quiet she needs to be and it really ratchets the tension up So I love that aspect of what they did there Anytime that silence is used to good effect in a film I'm a huge fan of and I will always talk about that in the review.  I did not like this little part. It's one of those Lazy writing issues where you know, there's so many other ways that the killer could have found out She was there making noise. Whatever even just like a little noise I would have preferred that to him about to leave and Some drunk guys will like oh no, I swear there are four girls in the villa Like they wouldn't even be talking about that and the coincidence of the fact that he happens to be there when they're Talking about that and when they're talking about it. They happen to be outside of the villa.  I hate that type of stuff. It's lazy writing. So that's one of the things I did not like Okay, so after we get the reveal of Franz being the killer I put so Franz wasn't capable of having normal Relations with women because a girl said she would show her body to his brother If he got if he went down and got her doll, which was kind of down this Hill a little bit and instead he fell to his death and I guess that traumatic moment Just ingrained in him forever that he could never have normal relations with women because a woman had done him wrong in some way and It just you know sent him over the edge. I Mean a little bit weak, you know kind of weak, but this is something that was kind of hit on a lot I'll talk about it a little bit later But this is something that was hit out hit on a lot in giallo films for motives for the killers But I'll talk about that in a bit Smart moves switching the scarf color and pattern. Yeah, I already talked about that. So Franz tells Jane Okay, this was my question on this Franz tells Jane that two of her friends were blackmailing him because they knew he couldn't Have normal relations with women Does this mean he was attempting to sleep with students? Wouldn't he not try Because he knows that he can't have normal relations with women So I don't like that doesn't make sense to me really the whole blackmailing thing They didn't even need that because they even go so far as Franz is basically saying that You know, he views all the women as being like that girl who traumatized him by you know Sending his brother to his death basically so that you don't even need the aspect of the blackmailing And it just doesn't make sense his his story on that or what was going on because I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be trying to have sex with women if he knows he can't have sex with women Because that's kind of the implication of it is that he's impotent now basically like you can't get it up So that doesn't make sense But then you know getting that information made me think that that's what the opening scene was was him trying to Sexually be with these students and the camera is them taking pictures for blackmail Just a guess, but let me know your thoughts My earliest theory was the professor Franz since he was so focused on bashing the artist That painted martyrs in paintings with no blood That was a very opening thing the opening thing that happened after the sex scene a point is made of then showing the blood Very specifically on the first victims like really focusing on the blood So for that reason I took that contrast as I think he's the killer because he's railing so much About the lack of realism with this painter and the martyrs just not having any blood So that's why I ended up thinking was Franz. I ended up being right, but for kind of a different reason The continual flashback of hands doing things to a doll before the killer Kills his victims. I think was meant to kind of be a statement of childhood trauma I ended up being correct about that. That's when I made that note as those things were happening But well before the reveal of the killer. So I was right once again This is something that comes up a lot with Jalo is you know childhood trauma that ends up turning into you know a Reason they become a killer. So my last thing it kind of rolls into this This fits into a large grouping of Jalo films with killers motivated by a woman wronging them in some way So now all women have to pay they start viewing every single woman as exactly But like that one woman who wronged them and that wrong is so wrong that they can't forget it And they must be punished and they just see every female as just like that one person So that's used a good deal in Jalo. So nothing super new here with that It was a popular thing to do with with Jalo twists. What can I say? But anyway overall, I did enjoy this film enough I was just let down for the aspect of people saying it was like one of their favorite Jalo films and I've seen a lot. So I was just like, oh man This is gonna be better than like Tenebrae and deep red and strange vice of mrs. Ward I wouldn't go that far. It is pretty good though. I'm gonna give it out of five stars with half stars in play a Very solid three and a half star rating. I do like it. I think it's pretty solid I mean most Jalo is pretty solid except a few One in particular, I would just not recommend ever watching but there's a review for it on my channel If you can find it, let me know and put a comment down there But anyway speaking comments put comments down there. Let's talk about your feelings on torso Also, let's talk about Jalo in general because I would love to get nerdy about that But do me a quick favor hit that subscribe button if you like this video or any video I've ever posted because that's your way to repay me Not getting paid to do this or anything. I'm just pouring my time into it to build a nerdy horror community here And talk nerdy poor shop with everyone So if you could just repay me real quick for my time just with a quick subscribe Because it's quick and painless But also hit that's a notification bell button and that way you know You will know when I'm putting up new movie reviews or unboxings or any of that type stuff But regardless, I thank you for taking your time to watch this and until next time Keep it brutal
