from the National Archives Public Programs and Education staff. My name is Caitlyn Katrona, and I am an Education Specialist at the National Archives in Washington, DC. Welcome to the National Archives comes a lot, Young Learners Program. Today, we meet Dr. Ruth Patrick, botanist, limnologist, and recipient of the National Medal of Science. She was a pioneer in freshwater ecology who broke gender barriers in the early 20th century. She gained world-renowned when she developed one as known as the Patrick Principle, which identified the importance of biological diversity in creating a more balanced river ecosystem. Dr. Patrick has advised five presidents of the United States on water quality and pollution. In 1996, President Clinton presented her with a National Medal of Science for outstanding contributions to healthy river systems. Dr. Ruth Patrick is portrayed by Carol Spatt of the American Historical Theater. The National Archives has many records related to the environments, ecology, water preservation, the health of rivers, Earth Day activities, and Dr. Ruth Patrick. On this slide, for our Education Specific Resource Docks Teach, you can see an educational activity related to Earth Day. This item is a photograph of President Bush showing his t-shirt honoring Earth Day in 1990. In this slide, we have another image, this one of a poster. This poster by artist Robert Rauschenberg was designed to support the American Environment Foundation in honor of the first Earth Day. The first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970 as a nationwide event supported by elementary and secondary schools, universities, and community sites across the United States. The United States Information Agency made this reproduction of Rauschenberg's original work in 1993. The poster features an image of a bald eagle surrounded by a photo montage showing endangered animals, deforestation, and land, water, and air pollution. According to the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the artist's use of the American Eagle symbolically placed the United States at the center of a global problem. In 1996, President Clinton honored Dr. Ruth Patrick for her many significant contributions to ecology. During a White House ceremony, Dr. Ruth Patrick received the National Medal of Science and Technology for her algal research, particularly the ecology and paleocology of diatoms, and for elucidating the importance of biodiversity of aquatic life in ascertaining the natural conditions of rivers and the effects of pollution. In this video, you can see her receive the medal. Our programs are brought to you from the National Archives Public Programs and Education Team and the National Archives Foundation. You can find information for free teacher and student programs on the National Archives website, archives.gov, under Archives News, upcoming events. And if you follow the National Archives on social media. So now let's give a warm welcome to Dr. Ruth Patrick. Well, how is the world with you? I hope all is well. I've been invited today to talk about myself, which I suppose means you'll have to listen to me talk about myself. And I will be telling my story. Mostly as I told it in 1997, when the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, they asked me to write about myself. Now, I'll skip some names of people that you might not know. I don't want to be called a name dropper, but I hope that you'll be patient if I drop a few names. I also hope that you'll be patient if I explain things simply so that everyone can understand. So today, I'm going to take a moment to talk about water, especially fresh water from rivers and streams, and how single-celled organisms in the water interact with the environment around them, and what these single-celled organisms can tell us about water quality and water pollution. So I'll begin the story of my love affair with science and a one-celled beauty encased in a shell of glass and called a diatom. I was born in Topeka, Kansas, and my father, he was a banker and a lawyer, and my mother's father was a judge. But despite his chosen profession, my father was intensely interested in natural science. He was a scientist at heart. And when my sister and I were four or five and four years old, well, that would be respectively, my father started to teach us about the natural world. And each Sunday, we walked to the park and through the woods, collecting mosses, ferns, and flowers, as well as nuts, snails, and yes, even worms. And my passion for science was ignited. As the greatest joy on earth to me is walking through the understory of woods. And then at the end of each of these trips, my father scraped the rocks in a nearby stream with a tin can, a tin can that would be fastened on the end of a bamboo pole, just like Tom Sawyer. And then he would transfer that water from the can into a glass bottle that he had in his pocket. And then, of course, we would return home. Then over milk and crackers, we tried to determine what we had found. My father knew the species of the trees to which the leaves belonged. And he could name the snails and the flowers, and yes, even the worms. And when we finished the identification of the large organisms, we would go into the library. And then my father had a roll-top desk and within it, four microscopes. And he would pull out the most appropriate one and make slides of the material that we had collected. My sister and I, we would climb on his knees and peer through the microscope. My entrancement with a microscopic world, which developed during these afternoons with my father, has never departed. These early experiences also led to my interest in diatoms. Algae that live in houses made of glass. They are the only organism on the planet with cell walls composed of transparent silica. And my father, he gave me my first microscope at the age of seven. And the microscope, well, it was simply a tube. And one pulled the tube up and down to focus it. I would off on the lie on the floor, on my stomach, and I'd examine anything I happened to pick up. Sometimes it was grains of sugar or salt. Other times it was the pollen of flowers or a drop of dirty water. The microscopic world caught my imagination and it continues to hold it to this day. Now, of course, after I entered school, my love of the natural world, it continued. And nothing pleased me more than to walk along the seashore and collect shells or to enter a swamp and try to identify all the things I saw. My mother, who was a typical old fashioned lady, she could not understand my interest. And she would often say it was difficult for her to recognize me as her daughter because of the way I was dressed. But my father, my father had a very different approach. At every turn, he encouraged me to learn more about the natural world. Most men in those days believed that women had inferior brains and could not possibly achieve in science or business. And therefore, why train them? Fortunately, my father had a very different philosophy. He felt that women were intellectually as capable as men. And therefore, he always encouraged me to continue my schooling. Ruth, in your spare time, read, improve your mind. You can always hire people to wash the dishes. That sounds like good advice. Now, I was invited to become a graduate student at the University of Virginia to continue my studies with algae and diatoms. And so I accepted at that time. Girls were certainly not thought much of. In fact, there were no girls in the undergraduate school and in the graduate school program, there were only a few women. And all of us were rather simple, hardworking students. We dressed simply. And we spent our time studying. Oh, occasionally, we went out on dates. But this was not a regular activity. But when I met my husband, Charles Hodge, he was a young graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. We were both eager students. But when we married, my loyalties were divided between my husband and my work. As I always believe that if a woman marries, she must maintain a suitable home for her husband and family. I had to work because we literally did not have money to live otherwise. But I also greatly enjoyed my work. I would never have been happy as a housewife. After I finished my graduate work and received my PhD, I continued to study diatoms at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. But once again, the attitudes toward women were very different in those days than they are today. Women were definitely thought to be inferior.  There were only three women in biological sciences in the United States that were interested at that time in my field of science. And all of these women, because of the attitudes of men toward women, well, the women tried to disguise the fact that they were women. They seldom washed their hair. They never went to a beauty shop to have their hair for a fjord. And they wore very simple unattractive clothes. And of course, no makeup. These conditions of women aggravated me. Let's see why I couldn't simply dress as a lady and work in a scientific institution. Doing so created resentment. And I soon realized I had to wear very plain clothes to the Academy of Natural Sciences and to the university when I attended classes. Now, I want you to understand how I felt about diatoms and the larger picture of life. I was intrigued with the idea that I could use my love of diatoms, these single celled organisms to solve the large scale problems of this earth. And it was amazing how everything fell in place. I remember I gave a talk about how diatoms could explain mysteries in water, such as the origin of the Great Salt Lake. And after that talk, an official at the old Atlantic refining company, oh, Mr. W. B. Hart, he came up to me and he said, you have discovered something that will help us in this problem of water pollution. And he explained his concerns about pollution and its effect on aquatic life. He asked if I could determine what was going on in a river by studying shifts in diatoms, whether pollution was present, what sort of pollution it was, and how it was affecting aquatic life. See diatoms. Diatoms are like detectives. Their silico walls readily absorb pollutants. Some diatoms will thrive in water contaminated by sewage. And other diatoms will flourish amongst chemical pollutants. And thereby by linking certain diatoms with specific water environments, it becomes possible to identify the sources of different types of aquatic pollution. But I knew no one person can really understand a river or a stream. My earlier days with my father had shown me that a stream holds enough different kind of organisms that understanding why species live where they do and what they indicate they indicate more scientific knowledge than one person could ever master. And so I organized a team of scientists. I have been told that I was the first to use a team of scientists to solve a scientific problem in water, particularly in rivers. Now Mr. Hart, he raised a large sum of money that he wanted to give to the academy of natural sciences to support my research. The president of the academy, Mr. Cadwallader, oh he was thrilled. And then Mr. Hart said, now I want Dr. Patrick to lead the group and Mr. Cadwallader said, you can't do that. Well, she's a young girl. And don't you know all young women waste money? You can't possibly do that. And then Mr. Hart said, well, then there's no money for the academy, of course. Mr. Cadwallader quickly changed his tune. And Dr. Patrick, I was put in charge of the project. However, many of the board of trustees, they had little faith in my studies. They felt my work was frivolous and unworthy of the academy. Nobody ever thought to work with pollution. That was common. That was dirty. That was below them. And so when I started with this money that came through Mr. Hart, many of the scientists at the academy were horrified. They thought I would ruin the institution. I was considered almost a woman of the streets for bringing corporate money to a place as hallowed as the academy and for doing applied work instead of pure basic research. Pollution was a dirty word at the academy. But fortunately, fortunately, others believed in what I was trying to do. I thought I should be given a chance. These were exciting days. People were beginning to believe that women really did have abilities in the field of science. And I was fortunate in being in the forefront of this movement in the biological sciences. And hence, I was invited to give lectures and to join organizations and yes, to receive awards. My work was beginning to be accepted and this type of recognition, it meant a great deal to me. I have always worked hard. But without the support of many others, I would never have achieved the contributions that I have made to the field of riverine science. And so I thank you today for listening to me, Dr. Ruth Patrick. Thank you so much, Dr. Patrick. Thank you. If you have a few extra minutes, I do have a couple of questions for you. Oh, please. Yes, of course. All right, great. So, Dr. Patrick, my first question for you is, you mentioned that you experienced discrimination as a woman scientist. Indeed, yes. Yeah, would you be willing to give us an example of how men treated women scientists differently? Well, I can think of one particular incident and it comes to my mind to truly illustrate the attitude of men toward women in those days. Once again, I was working at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. And I remember that one of the older scientists, and he was a very right man, he was intrigued by a young girl studying diatoms at the Academy. And of course, as you understand, I was the only woman scientist at the Academy at that time. And so he would stop by every morning to talk to me. This bored me. I'm being honest because I wanted to get along with my work. So I would say as little as possible, giving him responses such as, yes, Dr. Harper, or thank you, Dr. Harper. But one morning, he said, some of your older friends think you're slipping. And then he left the room. I was terribly worried by this comment. And after about a half hour, I went to his office and I said, Dr. Harper, you have made a very personal remark. I want to know what you mean. And his reply was, well, some of your older friends have been noting that you have been wearing a little lipstick. Another lady who was a very gentle, lovely lady who belonged to a wonderful family of people who were in Philadelphia. And I said, well, she wears lipstick. Why can't I wear lipstick? And his response was, you're on a different plane. You are working on a PhD. And so it was. Thank you so much for your response, Dr. Patrick. Now, our next question for you is, students studying science might have learned about the Patrick principle, and we know it's named after you. But for someone who might not be familiar, could you please explain for us what is the Patrick principle and why is it important? Well, I will try to do that as simply as I can. So again, that it will be understandable, I hope. And you have to understand that through my research on diatoms, these single cell algae, I devised a model for gauging the health of a body of water by evaluating all life in it, from the diatoms to the insects and to the fish. And it's not just simplistic counting of species, which could confuse an invasive species with an indigenous species. But rather, it requires a methodical approach. And that is why you must have a team of scientists to look at the whole ecosystem if you really want to understand what's going on in the environment. And so I set forth the principle that natural rivers and streams are characterized by a great many species belonging to many different groups. In other words, a aquatic life is highly diversified and shifts in the kinds and the numbers of species enable one to measure the imprint of man's activity on the ecosystem, such as water pollution. And thus it is the diversity and the redundancy of species, and that means more than is needed. And that is what gives the stability to a natural biological system in the rivers. And without this redundancy of species, oh many more than is needed, restoring a stream or a river to its natural conditions would probably be difficult or impossible to do. And so it is the importance of diversity and the idea that you have to look at the whole ecosystem that is the basis of the theory which conservationist Dr. Thomas Lovejoy has called the Patrick principle. And if this sounds familiar, it's because it's an ecosystem approach that now is considered as common knowledge, but not until I pioneered the approach as a young woman scientist. And if I have to put it all together in one sentence, diversity to me is the keynote of a balanced environment. Thank you Dr. Patrick for that explanation of the Patrick principle. So another question that I have for you today Dr. Patrick is looking back at your own life, what advice can you give to young people today, especially young women, about studying the sciences? That's a very good question. I thank you for asking that of me. I think that the main thing is that you must have an appetite, appetite for learning. And that's whether you are a young man or a young woman. And you have to really want to understand something. And I believe that is the driving force that causes you to give up everything, to reach your goals despite whatever obstacles might be in your way. Now I will admit that I've given up lots of things some people would think are important or enjoyable in life just because of the driving force within me of wanting to study diatoms to learn all about them and how they are part of the natural world. And having been taught by my father that I must leave the world a better place than the one I came into. My question was how I could use my love of diatoms to solve some of the problems in this world. And although I am interested in many fields outside of my area of work, I have never had the time to pursue activities such as reading history and literature and going to concerts and plays. Oh I have done some of this, but I rather enjoy reading and learning about the biological sciences. I love the outdoor world and I love science. I don't know if I ever wanted to do anything else. And these have been the driving forces of my life. Persistence, a love of science and a charge from my father saying, remember you must leave this world better. You must somehow find a niche in which you can make a real contribution. So I hope that anyone who would be listening to me today that they would be willing whether they are a young man or a young woman to overcome whatever obstacles might be in their path and then to find the driving forces of your own life. Because I hope that you leave this world a better place because you pass along this way too. All right thank you again Dr. Patrick for your advice and for your time today. And now as we wrap up our program for today, one last look at Ruth Patrick receiving the National Medal of Science and Technology. And here we also want to give one last look at the Earth Day poster from our Docs Teach activity which we saw earlier. And certainly I hope that you can also join us next month for our Young Learners program with Mary Weather Lewis and William Clark to learn about the core of Discovery Expedition across the western portion of the United States. And I'd like to thank all of you for participating in our program today.


Okay, so not so long ago, I actually reviewed this device which is called the Aksun SEMO. This is a HDMI monitoring device for your iPhone or iPad and I was really happy of how this worked. In today's video, I've got a brand new device by Aksun. This is called the Cinevue Nano. Essentially, the primary difference between both of these is that this one has live HDMI wireless monitoring. This one required the adapter to be connected to your camera via a HDMI cable and also your phone via another cable to the adapter as well. This one cuts out that second requirement of a cable whereby it connects to your camera via an HDMI cable still but your phone or your iPad, it can be connected wirelessly and you can actually connect up to four devices wirelessly and have it monitoring from any distance. So let's go ahead and jump straight into the design and also the key specs of this device and when it does come to wireless transmission devices, there's two main things that I always look out for, the quality of the output and does it match the quality of how you see it directly on the screen of your camera and also the latency. So how much input lag can this get when you do connect it wirelessly? But this is going to be a game changer because then you don't need to have the phone connected to the camera, you can keep your phone on person and start shooting at a distance to make sure you're still in focus, you're still in frame and I'm really excited to see how this works. So let's get started. Okay, so I'm just going to pull up the key specs on the sidebar as I'm showing you the design of the device. So you can see you have a adapter which an expandable phone mount where you can clip your phone directly onto this and you just press the button to close the mount. Now this has two antennas as well so you can get up to 5G Wi-Fi and a long transmission distance of up to 500 feet which I think is absolutely great. You have yourself the power button just there on the right hand side and then you have a battery indicator that will light up there, then you also have the option to connect a 5V USB-C to power this rather than powering it via a battery. You also have a quarter 20 inch thread at the bottom as well to mount it on top of your camera and then on the left hand side you have a 5V input there for USB-C and the HDMI in which I'll be connecting via the HDMI cable directly to my micro HDMI input on my camera. Now this takes standard NPF battery so you just have to get one and slide in there. You do get yourself a cold shoe mount which I will be attaching to the bottom of this and then on top of my camera. If you do want to use this with a gimbal then it does have a gimbal plate that you can attach as well which makes this very convenient. You have a user manual and an Allen key to tighten the sides of the cold shoe mount. Two things that don't come with this is the HDMI cable and an NPF battery so these two you will have to buy separately. Now you will need to use the AXUN C app which I've downloaded and I will be connecting it via this. So what we will do is test the latency and because it does have up to 60 milliseconds of latency which is very fast in fact it may actually feel like there isn't any input lag so having the quality and the live feed feel like real time is going to be very interesting to see. So I will be connecting this and I will connect it to maybe multiple devices because you can actually wirelessly connect up to four devices whether it's iOS or Android and that is a very convenient factor if you want to reposition all of your devices to see the live view of the camera in various different locations if you are doing a large filming. So let's go ahead and set that up and see how that performs. Ok so everything is connected. I have the CineView Nano now on my camera and one thing I always suggest is when you first use this just do a firmware update the instructions are very simple you can find them in the user manual. Now you can see I've actually connected this to three devices so I have my iPhone 15 Pro, I have my iPad and I have an Android phone here as well, multiple different platforms so I wanted to showcase how this works and let's go ahead and also check out the latency to see the variation on if there's actually a little bit of input lag or it actually feels more in real time. So I'm going to step behind the camera and if you keep an eye on these three devices and of course you have the options for adjusting your live view monitoring feed as well so if you wanted to check your grids, your zebra, your cross hatching, all of the other features on the Aksun C app then you can also do that in live view as well. So I can take these with me in my locations when I do filming outdoors and just have a look to see if everything is looking great whilst the camera is a lot further away. So let me go ahead and step behind the camera and hopefully if you guys keep an eye on this to see how much it is actually in real time. So we'll be testing out that 60 millisecond latency. Okay so let's test out the latency. So far I feel like it's working very well. A little bit of a lag on the iPad version but my phones is actually working very smoothly. If I wanted to use this as a wireless video transmitter then I think this is going to be a very great option because I can just keep my phone with me on person and then not having to worry about trying to see if I'm in view if the camera is a little bit further away. Now because the range is up to 500 feet this is going to be very good for long distance shooting as well. Imagine having to film from a very far distance then you having to go all the way to the camera if you are by yourself to make sure you're in view everything is in focus and then running all the way back to the point where you need to sit or stand to do your filming. Now just another test I'll turn on this light to see how much it comes through onto the app. There we go I'll turn that off and to be honest the 60ms actually seems pretty instant. Now the fact that I can have multiple devices connected to this I think that's just a great option to have. So if I am now going to do some filming where I want to move around quite a bit I can position multiple devices around with the live view monitoring connected to the camera and it's going to look great. So that's all I wanted to showcase I'm very happy with this you know I've been a fan of Aksun products for a while now and this is 100% going to be what I'm going to use especially with my outdoor filming to see how I'm looking in frame because there's been so many scenarios whereby I've had my camera behind me or further in the distance and me having to run back in between where I need to do the filming and to have a look at the view on the camera it's going to save so much time and it just has a lot of convenience factor to this. So make sure to check the link in the description to find out all the latest specs the latest pricing information in the UK this does retail around £99 so for me that is very affordable and you know I can't find any faults with this it's just instant plug-and-play I had no issues. Any questions you guys have make sure to drop a comment down below if you like this video and you like all things tech I have new videos out every week make sure to subscribe so you don't miss any of those ones and I will catch you all at the next one take care.


What's up everybody, JC over at jaspyscasebrakes.com. Happy new release day. It is 2019, 20 Uberdeck Ultimate Collection Hockey release day. This is a eight box case break. Pick your teams number one. So you can see it's supporting on my Kings Copa Charger for the new release. This is one of my favorite products of the year guys. A lot of shield opportunities, a lot of nice patch autographs, and a pretty, pretty nice product to get into when it comes to Ultimate Collection Hockey. Again, this is a pick your team, all teams sold. No randomized to do here, just straight up open the case. And let's do it guys. Here's all the customers that bought it to pick your team number one, Don got last bought Mojo blue jackets, all the way down here. So good luck. This is a case right here. This is a full master case guys. So there's two inners. So that means pick your team number one and pick your team number two will be part of the same inner or master case. So we'll have to decide which inner we use here with a little dice roll. For right as always, one, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three. This would be for pick your team number two and that is already sold out as well guys. So that'll be coming up next. All right, we got Ultimate Rookie's Adam Fox to start off the two 99. Rangers, go to Josh Bruce. First we got to do Rookie Assents that is Ram Pitlick to 99. Little eBay 101, 99 out of 99. Nashville Predators, it's going to Eric. And then we got Barrett Hayton to 99. Arizona Coyotes, go to Nick. And then we got Teddy Boulder to 399 for the Penguins. Let's go to Mark. All right, we got Noah Dobson at 399. Actually, they're the same mic. It's just that you'll notice when there's like a relic in there, like a patch auto per that way. Kind of feel the same as always. It's just that when there's no patch auto in there, it looks thinner. They're all 75s or 100s. So I think weighing these boxes is probably going to be very popular. Gratsky there for the Edmonton Oilers. I just, I mean, I don't like the Assents. I like more the Ultimate Rookie's. I don't know if I like this a little too much. But there you go, Nicholas Hague. The 225, he does, right Mike? He does. But for Josh Proust, he doesn't. Vasilezky to 99, little Jersey Auto. Lighty, winter brat, hey, what's up, brat? Man, there you go. Already getting you some hits, man. Come on, guys, we need to get a shield. We only pulled like three or four shields out of all this every year. So tough. We got Emil Benstrom from his blue jackets. That's Las Palmoja Don. Look, the blue jackets for like, I don't even know how much they were, like 50 bucks, $60. They had a ton of rookies in rookie autographs. So it's not gonna be surprising to see a lot of blue jackets popped out of here. Kevin Stenland, $2.99. And we got Karl Grunstrom from My Kings. 67 out of 99. L.A. Kings, John McCall with My Kings. And look at that, Joe Thornton. San Jose Shark, 61 out of 65. That's a nice looking one right there. Little icons. San Jose Sharks. It's going to Anthony. Dale did pass. There you go.  Yeah, man, I mean, honestly, not that I follow all these players, but I think he lost the battle with stomach cancer, which is unfortunate. So I honestly thought Dale was gonna be in here. Maybe he'll be in Cup Hockey or something. Igor, Relic for the Rangers. Josh Cruz. That's Biggs number one, Ripper. So it looks like, I mean, I don't know, this is just the first pack, but it looks like when the pack is a little bit thicker, seems to see the cards are a little chipped up on the top corners. Hopefully that's not a trend, but the pack is like so thick and I am so tight that it looks like it may damage some of these corners, which is gonna be kind of rough. There you go, Igor. 207 out of 225. And again, little dings all around. I know in 2015, 16, that was kind of the problem too. There was a lot of corners that are damaged and did not do so well, but 16, 17, they really, really made it really nice. And every year since then has been pretty solid. That's all right, Ryan. We have another two picker teams on the website. 23 and 26 left. The first four picker teams are pretty much gonna sell out right now, but five and six are posted and we're at 23 and 26.  Again, that's just the way it came out, guys. That is Carolina Hurricanes going to Joshua Lucas. So I feel like the packing is just so tight that it's gonna cause the corners to get a little dinged up. Oh, this one doesn't look too bad actually.  So there you go, Devils going to Matt, Vancouver going to Sean, Colorado going to Jeremy, Blackhawks going to Kathy, that'll be a randomizer. And we got Brady Keeper to 2.99. There's a lot of work that goes around that people don't really realize, right? When it comes to something like that, oh, this is nice, item both quests, ultimate introductions, little silver ingrate there for the Hawks, it's going to Kathy.  Lean Bergman, one, two, three, four, call it five color patch for the San Jose Sharks going to Anthony, that is nice. My next couple of boxes. But another quad, this is just all Jets though. That's Shifley, Wheeler, Lionel and Connor Hallibock. Going to pick Jets going to Mark. Getzloff, out of 149, getting a lot of chipping on the top. We got ultimate rookie autographs to 2.99, Hainola. And we got rookie ascents, item both quests for the Blackhawks to 2.99. Pecorine, the ultimate icon for the Predators, Eric with that one. Anders Lee for the Islanders. Actually, is there some playoff hockey on her now? There's none on early today. We got Davis Gustafson, or David Gustafson, 2.99. Ooh, and look at that, out of 49, car number one. Little rookie ultimate patch autographs, Quinn Hughes for the Vancouver Canucks. Very nice. It has three two right now, it looks like. Our last one, that's three two Columbus. Campemé leads the series three one, so Columbus is just trying to stay alive. All right, we got Julian for the Kings. All right, we got German Rupstoff for the Flyers, went on William. We got for the Devils to 2.99. Brandon Gignac, I think I'll look that one up. I'll properly pronounce that one. And the last one, it is a carry price for the Montreal Canadiens. 10 out of 25, a little two color patch, and the autograph. There you go guys, pretty sharp looking product as always. Ultimate collection hockey, got a nice patch autograph here of Quinn Hughes, and we have one randomizer to do here guys. Yeah, no shields pulled in this half, could be some in the second half, we'll be doing that next. Let's quickly just randomize the teams here and see who gets that. Number one gets it, after the Dice Roller and Randomizer. So again, the next two picker teams guys are at sold out, three left, three left, 21, 23. And then another new release is at 5, 10, and 14. So, let's continue to break guys. So we got Devils, Avs, let's roll it. And we got a six and a five for 11 times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, and 11.  Very nice. Appreciate it guys, number one in the books, number two starting next, appreciate it.


We are so thankful that you're tuned in right here on Cornerstone Television Network to watch Hope Today. My man, Amanda Brocker, I almost forgot who I am on this Monday morning. We are your Monday team with Tom Hollis and Angela. Thank you so much guys for showing up today. This would have been really exciting to do it all by myself. I would have been scared. I'm glad to be here. You know, I'm really excited for our guests today.  I remember a friend of mine had a little button that said dare to be a Daniel. It was years ago that I saw that, but that's a good saying. But I wanna ask you, what lessons can we learn from the life of Daniel that will help us today on Monday, get through Monday? Well, author and host of the Way of the Master TV show, Ray Comfort, he's gonna show us how to be a Daniel. You know, it's great to be a Daniel, but you know what guys, that means there's going to be lions too.  That's the truth. Lions are kind of evidence of a need for Daniel. You know, all the things that we face, they kinda help define us as who we are in God. If we didn't have enemies, we wouldn't grow in how to battle. And let's face it, we have enemies. Angela, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers. It's the truth. And sometimes those lions that we wrestle against are within us. You know, they're not even external, but it's the despair that comes for us. It's the hopelessness, it's the thoughts, it's the struggle within that gets us confused in thinking that we're less than Daniels, that we're less than sons and daughters of God. But today I am confident that Ray is gonna give us a word to challenge us and push us forward into being Daniels. I just have to read one of his quotes. Y'all are gonna like this. What happens in Vegas stays in God's mind until judgment day. If that isn't a little bit motivating for your Monday, I don't know what is, but I do appreciate. I think it's funny in a sense that God gave Ray comfort, the last name comfort, because when I watch his program, I'm a little on edge like, oh my gosh, he did just say that, but it's good and it's captivating. There's comfort in what the gospel is, but it's the uncomfortable side of the truth that is necessary to get us to understand the need for the gospel. And that's such an important thing. Angela, we always have prayer partners standing by that people can call and I would, why don't you encourage the people to call in? Yeah, you know, if today you're struggling and who knows where you are. Maybe you feel that you are a Daniel and that you're in the midst of a den.  Wherever you are, we wanna partner with you in prayer. There is a value in prayer and we see it. It is only through prayer that heaven comes to earth and that we experience it within us. So please don't hesitate. Reach out to our prayer partners today that we can see his goodness achieved within every aspect of your life. Absolutely. Well, you know, in today's culture, it's important for Christians to be courageous. We need to be courageous and stand firm for the truth and firm for the gospel. It can be challenging in so many ways to the seemingly constant trials and opposition we face from the enemy. Well, Apologist, Speaker and Author Ray Comfort is our guest and in his new book, So Many Lies and So Few Daniels, he draws inspiration from the story of Daniel and teaches us how we can live fearlessly for Christ in the midst of adversity and opposition. Ray, it's great to have you back with us on Hope Today. What are you guys doing at 6 a.m. in California? My face doesn't wake up till 10 a.m. Thank you, brother. Thank you for being with us bright and early. And so, tell me about how you can be a Daniel at 6 a.m. Why the title and what are the lions we're facing? Well, the title was inspired by atheists. About a year ago, I saw an atheist t-shirt that said, so many Christians, so few lions. And I thought, boy, that's about as culturally sensitive as so many Jews, so little ovens, Nazi ovens, or so many blacks, so many less lynching ropes. And I got mad. And that book was written out of a righteous indignation. I want Christians to rise up and be Daniels in today's culture. And there are many Daniels. There's atheism, for instance. Atheism is a modern phenomenon.  It's mentioned in the Bible a couple of times, way back in the Psalms, it gives 11 words addressed at atheism because it wasn't really necessary because everybody knows God exists. The fool has said in his heart there's no God. And then in Psalm 53, it repeats it just in case we didn't get the message. An atheist is not an intelligent person.  And this is the reason for it. An atheist believes the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. Not that there was nothing in the beginning, but nothing was the creative force that gave us flowers and birds and trees and puppies and kittens and fruits and seasons and male and female and the marvels of the human eye. That's worse than insane. So when I meet an atheist, I never feel intimidated. I think to myself here is a very foolish person. He's denying the inner light that God's given to every man. The invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made. But I think the number one enemy that most of us have is our own fears. And what we've got to do is overcome our own fears if we want to reach the last, if we really care about the unsave and where they spend eternity. The Bible likens us to firefighters. And a firefighter shows up at a fire and he looks up on the fifth story and sees a woman and two children screaming for help as flames begin to catch their clothes. He's not gonna leave.  He stays because he's a firefighter. He climbs a 60 foot ladder. He's terrified, but he ignores his fears because he's not thinking of himself. He's thinking of the fate of that woman and her children. And that's what you and I must do. The Bible says, and others making a difference, having compassion, that's the key, pulling them from the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. So this book will help to encourage you and teach you how to address a sinner's conscience rather than his intellect. The intellect is a place of argument. The conscience is the place of the knowledge of right and wrong, and that's the big key and that's the key to dealing with your fears. You know, I just saw, it was just on the news a couple of days ago. I don't know if you saw it, a building was on fire and a young man, there was a family in the second floor and a young man actually climbed up the stones of the building and held on with one hand while the wife, the mother passed the children out and he grabbed them with one hand and handed them down. And that fellow is such a hero. He doesn't, obviously he says, well, I'm not a hero. I just did what needed to be done. But we need that kind of attitude in ourselves. So often we walk right past the burning building, don't we? Yeah, see if you can guess who I'm talking about here. Very rich, very famous, very powerful. His name was known throughout the whole world. His face was known throughout the whole world. Hundreds of thousands lined the streets just to catch a glimpse of him. 60 years after his death, he's still known by his initials. Do you know who I'm talking about? No. JFK. That's right. John Fitzgerald Kennedy. But the second that bullet hit his head and catapulted him to eternity, his riches, his fame, his power, his popularity meant nothing. The only thing that mattered was were his sins forgiven. And that's what you and I should look at when we look at any human being. When I go to the supermarket, I go to a football game. That's all I see when I meet a stranger. Is this person's sin forgiven? Are they going to heaven or are they going to hell? And that's a motivation. Compassion for the lost. The word compassion means suffer with. That is you enter into the empathy of unsafe people and think, and what's gonna happen to this person if they die in their sins?  And that should horrify us. Wow.  I feel that conviction. It's good and it's healthy for the body of Christ. But I'm thinking about in Hebrews 8 where it talks about in the New Covenant, how God writes his law on our hearts. And talk to us about what does that mean to you and how does that assist you in your approach when you're reaching out to people? Well, that's a great question. God has written his law upon our heart, the conscience bears witness. So when I deliberately swing from the intellect that is arguing about the existence of God or atheism, evolution or whatever, hypocrites in the church, I just say, are you a good person? What do you think? I'm heading for the conscience, the knowledge of the right and wrong. And I know the work of the law written upon the heart of every human being is gonna agree with the commandments. You shall not lie. You shall not steal.  You shall not murder. All things are written on the conscience. So the conscience bears witness with the commandments. So two minutes ago when some guy was sent out and believed in God, the church was full of hypocrites. Now he's saying, yeah, you're right about stealing. I have stolen of light. I'm in big trouble on judgment day because the conscience is an ally right in the heart of the enemy and the ally links with us. And that's what we must do. And that's what Jesus did with the rich young ruler. He said, why do you call me good? He reproved his understanding of the man's understanding of the word good. And he said, you know the commandments. Why did you do that? To bring the knowledge of sin, to show us we're sinners. You do not have a cure for a man who thinks he's well. He won't take it. He'll say, I don't want this silly cure. What you have to do is hold up X-rays and show him the disease and convince him. Make him a little fearful, bring sweat to his brow. And he suddenly says, boy, this is deadly serious. What should I do? And then you say, he has the cure. Here is the gospel. This is how you can have your sins forgiven. This is how you can find everlasting life through faith alone in Christ. Ray, I want to bring up something that you brought up in the book that during 2020, the year of 2020, obviously the COVID time, there was an incredible increase in the percentage of people considering suicide. Saying that they had thought about it. What does that tell you? And what is that, even though it's terrible news, how does that embolden us to share? Yeah, Jesus said, if you hear my sayings and keep them, you're like a man who built his house on rock. When the storms came, you didn't fall. But if you build your life on anything but the teachings of Jesus, when the storms come, you're gonna crash. And that's what we saw happen. But this is a wonderful opportunity for Christians. Man is not a primate. He's not an animal, a dog, horse, cat, or cow. He's a human being made in the image of God and God has written eternity on his heart.  That's a God-given will to live and we can tap in on that. And that was my cry before I came to Christ. I couldn't figure out why I was gonna die. Why this thing called death was gonna rip everything from my hands. So when I came to Christ, I embraced the gospel with every ounce of energy of God. So if the world only knew what we had in Christ, we're not religious. We don't sprinkle water on people. We don't wear nighties.  And that's what we have. And that's what Jesus said to the woman at the well. If you knew. Think of a waitress. She walks up to three guys who are sitting at a table. They're obviously businessmen, wheeling and dealing millions of dollars. But is she intimidated? Not at all. She just walks up and says, can I take your order? Why is she so bold? Because she knows she has what they want. Food, that's why they're there. And you and I have what the world wants more than anything. There are people today torturing themselves and literally millions of them, torturing themselves and gyms. Putting themselves under terrible stress and pain and suffering because they want to extend their life or they're drinking green slime, stuff that doesn't even taste good and an effort to remain healthy.  Death is still coming. But we have everlasting life in Christ. And if only they knew what we had. And that knowledge that we have what they want should give us boldness. Amen to that. Tell us about some boldness that's going on right now. You have an outreach going on called Operation London. Could you share how that's going with us? Oh, will I? I'm so excited about this. About six months ago, I began thinking about King Charles when he's coronated on the 6th of May. How he'll place his hand on the Bible at Swear before God and before an audience of literally hundreds of millions who'll witness this life. He'll put his hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the biblical truths of salvation by grace through faith without works. He'll carry an orb, which is a globe with a cross on the top, symbolic of the world being under the communion of Jesus Christ. He'll carry a scepter as King David carried and Solomon carried. He'll be anointed with oil. In fact, any things will happen in that one to two hour service that are symbolic of the Bible. And I thought, boy, wouldn't it be great to have a gospel tract with Charles on the front and the gospel on the back that we could give out to the millions in London. So I made a video, sent it to my team. And just after I made the video, I got an email from a gentleman who said, what are you working on? So I sent him the video and he sent the ministry $200,000. Showed someone else the video. They sent $50,000. Showed someone else. They sent $100,000. So we're making available literally millions, 13 million print of these tracts that we had a print of 13 million, totally free. People can get them in the United States and United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain, free of charge and we pay the shipping. Doesn't cost a thing and we're not endorsing print King Charles. We're doing what Paul did in Acts, chapter 17 when he quoted, quoted, sinful Greek poets. He was using them as a bridge to reach the lost and we're using the coronation to reach the lost. So people can get these free tracts with free shipping to anywhere in the world, almost anywhere, by going to livingwaters.com forward slash London. Livingwaters.com forward slash London. I think something like 11 million have already gone. There are 1,800 people in United Kingdom who are actually going to London to give out these tracts. 500 have committed to the United States to fly over there and give out these tracts. So we are super excited. We're gonna live stream. So anyone who wants to follow this just go to livingwaters.com, sign up for our newsletter and we'll give details on how you can join the coronation outreach live anywhere in the world. That's great. And we'll have a link to the Livingwaters website on our website as well, ctvn.org. So you can go there as well and there'll be a link. So you always have in this book, you have end of every chapter, you have a story, a conversation you had with someone out on the street, out in a square, out in a park somewhere. Can you tell me about one of those that stands out? The one that you remember especially? Yeah, this is the cream from our YouTube channel, The Witnessing Sessions. The channel's got 235 million views. We're absolutely honored and thrilled that we have such access to so many of the unsafe anti-Christians to encourage them. So they're the cream of The Witnessing Sessions and one of them that comes to mind is a young man named Mario. I was on my bike with my dog. My dog wears sunglasses. I wear sunglasses because that gets people's attention. Women often call out how cute as they go fast and always call out, so is the dog.  So would you like to come on camera? About one in 40 people want to come on camera. He says, absolutely. So came up is very confident, very arrogant. But as I went through the commandments, I noticed a tear one of his eyes rolled down his cheek and I thought to myself, horrors, God's doing a work. I don't want to mess this up. And this young man who was so arrogant a few moments earlier became incredibly contrite, began weeping and was actually beside himself in repentance and contrition. I said, do you know why you're crying? He says, yes, because I've sinned against God. And I shared the gospel, prayed with him. It was just a wonderful experience. I think it's had over three and a half million views. So it's a very exciting and encouraging witnessing session. That's great. And you mentioned that YouTube is a very effective way of reaching people in this generation. Can you talk to us a little bit about that? Yeah. Like you go back 50 or 60 years, Billy Graham Crusade, it would take a couple of years to pull churches together. Hundreds of churches like herding cats will cost millions of dollars, a lot of time and effort. Most of the people in the stadium are churchgoers and it was a very difficult thing to arrange and very expensive. But now because of social media and because of YouTube, we create a video. I actually create videos. I edit them often in bed during the night. I go out each day, a couple of times to local college, interview people, come back, upload them onto my laptop and just do them through iMovie, edit the through iMovie. Put a bit of music with them and they get millions of views and just through the push of a button. So anybody can do this. It's just a matter of just going out with a microphone and your phone, interviewing people and upload it to YouTube. Give it a good, interesting title. If it's got conflict and curiosity, it'll pull people in and you can effectively reach the loss. So social media is a godsend.  Well, half of you, half of you, half of your family. It was a horrific thing, a time consuming and such a denial, but here we have something the, possibly Paul would be green with envy for and that's this incredible thing called YouTube and we need to take advantage of it. Ray, I love that. I love using the tools of our technology for the gospel. Just real quick, I noticed at the end of your book, you have an appendix, which you have 250 of these motivational thoughts that motivate yourself. I never even thought you would need to keep reminding yourself of things because you're so used to doing this. What's the benefit on these little things? I think it's worth the price of the book right here, just to read these motivational things that you say to yourself. Yeah, I can't even remember any of them, but I know I have to motivate myself because I get fearful and I have to ignore my fears. So you might see me and say, boy, he's very bold, but why are you doing a senior, an athlete finish through the marathon, he might go up and say, you're very, very skillful and then any athlete would say, I'm not skillful. This is hard work to get here. Sweat, pain and suffering. I've been running 30 miles every week for years. I've denied myself chocolate and milk and cheese and eggs and butter and all the things that you eat to get to this physical condition. And that's exactly the same with evangelism. That means anyone can attain to it. You think I'm a good marathon runner, you can be too. All it takes is training and for you to want to have to do it. You need to motivate yourself to do it.  I'm gonna share the gospel of everlasting life with people who are sitting in the shadow of death. Well, the book is called So Many Lines, So Few, Daniel's Living Without Compromise in a World in Need of Truth. Thank you so much for being with us today. You're welcome, thank you. Well, when we come back, taking a quick break, we'll have a scripture and a time of ministry just for you. We'll be right back. When Laura called our 24 seven prayer line, she had so much fear that she didn't want to leave her house. She had lost her husband of 54 years, just six months earlier. Laura was flipping through TV stations when she came across Cornerstone Television. She felt compelled to call. One of our prayer partners talked, listened, and prayed with her for 45 minutes. At the end, Laura said how much the ministry had helped relieve her fear. Praise God for how he's using CTVN. When you give, you become part of what he's doing. This month, when you give, we'll send wild expectance as our way of saying thank you. This book will inspire you to live your life as God intended. To give and request your copy, visit us online at ctvn.org slash donate or call us at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Hope happens here. Today's scripture comes to us from Hebrews 11, 32 through 34, and we're using the new living translation. How much more do I need to say? It would take too long to recount the stories of the faith of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jepethat, David, Samuel, and all the prophets. By faith, these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight.  He, his arm is not too short. His hand is not just upon one and not the other. We have all of these testimonies within the word to share with us and remind us if he did it for them, he will do it for you. Whatever you're trusting the Lord for, hold on because he's got goodness on the other side of this fight for you. That's absolutely right. I think, guys, about the whole thing with Daniel. Daniel, we sing his praises today, but he went through the tough times. Not too many of us would stand strong with the thought of being thrown to the lions, but he did, guys, and Amanda, he did, and it started out even in a bold way that was a quiet boldness, but very bold was when he prayed, when the king said not to pray to anyone except me, he prayed when he prayed with his windows open like he always did. And so that type of boldness is needed today. It's needed boldness in standing for truth, boldness in reaching out to the people that maybe they wanna hear from you, maybe they don't, but they need to hear about the love of God and just that kind of boldness in sharing the love with someone and experience rejection. Ray said that only about one in 40 people were willing to come on camera, so we see that. So there's a lot of rejection there, too, but the gospel's that important. That's right. I just think about, again, Ray Comfort, that last name Comfort, and I think sometimes we desire to be comfortable in our flesh, like whatever comforts me and we will move toward that, but what God is really asking us to do is to see with our spiritual eyes, to look at people with those eternal eyeglasses on, not the temporary carnal glasses, and become uncomfortable in the sense that I'm gonna go out of my comfort zone in order to make a contact with them in hopes I love the diligence of really the heart of God that he pushes himself past his flesh. That's all I can hear, and he so reminds me of Charles Spurgeon. I just have to read this quote that I just read and just hearing him, it reminded me of, and it says this, "'A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats.'" And to me, that's convicting because we're all leaders within our church bodies, and I never, like God, know that cannot happen on my watch, your watch, your watch. This not on your watch, we cannot be just a lukewarm church. God is asking us to be all in. And so today I do believe that God is asking you to hear the word of the Lord from Ray Comfort and to choose this day to make God the Lord of your life and to follow him and to share him with those that God places in your path. It is so important. You know, I think of your outreach that you and Gary, you're gonna be doing it later today of reaching out to the people of McKeesport and touching lives there and sharing the word with them, sharing a meal with them. I mean, those are the things that we need to do to make a difference in people's lives. It's true. You know, uncomfortability, being discomforted or whatever is really critical to our walk with Christ. You know, the Bible is full of testimonies of people who, yeah, the flames were quenched, but the flames were there first. So today, be uncomfortable. Share the gospel just as Ray implored us to do. Share the good news with your friends, with your loved ones, with those who don't know Jesus. And for yourself, if you are feeling the discomfort of pain and that which comes with life, know that you're in good company and he'll see you through it. That's right, it is so important. Tom, final thoughts. Well, just that, you know, the gospel, we all say we live for Jesus. Will we live for the gospel? Will we live for the word that has been entrusted to us? Will we take away from our comfort, take, go towards hardship that the gospel might be preached? So many of those missionaries did that, like Ray was saying years ago, still do, but there's other ways to do it now. Let's be part of that group that does it. Amen. Let's live in such a way that others may live. Just take that in, have hope today and knowing that you and I can live in such a way that would give life to those around us. I pray that the Lord ministered to you today. We sure have enjoyed being with you. May God bless you. On tomorrow's Hope Today, learn how to discover your divine purpose. Ministry power team and authors, Lejean and Valora Cole, help you to better understand God's purpose for your life, which will help you accomplish all that God has called you to do. Don't miss tomorrow's Hope Today. Cornerstone Television wishes to thank all our faithful viewers whose consistent prayers and financial support have made this program possible.


So my presentation is going to be about the custom distribution build service. So this project was basically thought out as a replacement for having to build all of the Jenkins war files using the custom, using the war by downloading the war and then beginning all of your work. So let me just introduce my mentors first. My Christian and Martin and Oleg was a technical advisor in the project helping out on all technical issues. So yeah, what's this project all about? So we tried to address major four features. One of them was having an out-of-the-box usable Jenkins distribution, a simple user interface. So for users to be able to configure the plugins right out of the box by making it very, very simple. So as you can see, it's supposed to be very user-friendly to use. Community-shared configurations. This was one of the most demanded features on the thread that originally conceived the project. There was a lot of demand for having configurations that are being widely used around the community. So be it AWS or be it a Kubernetes plugin, users wanted to have a community-shared configurations page where they could share, where they could reuse configurations that were developed by people around the world. And the last one was easy access. So sometimes there have been complaints that it's difficult to access the plugin, the update center. This service tries to circumvent that problem and tries to add easy access to be able to add your custom update center that you can download plugins for. You can view plugins from and so on. So that's major four features that we're targeting. Yeah, what was the current problem? I'll not spend too much time on this because I've already explained most of it. For many users, they download Jenkins first and after downloading, they select plugins and configure them. So this might take a lot of time and we try to reduce that time using the custom distribution build service. That contains all you need on a web application online and you can easily do it without in the comfort of your browser. Okay, what was the project motivation? So we work hard so you don't have to. So we do all of the heavy lifting and you just have to download the var and you can run it right out of the box with all of your plugins configured very, very easily. Okay, so I'll just run through the major features that were implemented. These are a collection over all of the three phases. So we started out with the bare bones, the package config generation. You need the package config generation. It's a YML file and this YML file is then used by the custom var packageer to package it into a var file. So you needed that. So we went ahead and you did that in the first phase. Then came the var generation sequentially after you had the package configuration, you could then generate the var. The third one was to ability to configure custom packages. So after that, we added the features to be able to not only generate custom packages, but also be able to edit them live on the editor and then you can make changes right out of the box. So if you say you downloaded a particular Jenkins version and not happy with it, you can go ahead and change the Jenkins version and it will regenerate the var file for you. The community configuration has requested one of the most requested features. So having community configurations where you can use Blue Ocean or maybe AWS Kubernetes and so on and so forth. The next one was the ability to download var. So up in the phase two, you only had the generation. We then supported downloads. So you could click a button and download the var file right out of the user interface. The ability to search and download community configurations. So after adding support for community configurations, we added the support to then search and download them. You also have, if I'm not mistaken, you can add your own repository URL. So if you are not comfortable with using the Jenkins community configuration URL, you are free to use your own URL. The ability to share community configurations, again, that's an extension of shared community configurations. You can yourself contribute to the immense repository that's there. There are a couple of repositories. There is one by even Rick, which I will demo later on in the project. He maintains something called as Jenkins formulas and they are a collection of ready usable Jenkins distributions and self hosting capability. This was one that we weren't quite sure about in the middle of the phase because we needed permissions to host it on Jenkins. So we decided to add this feature anyway. So it is now self hosted as well.  So if you want, you can spin up by just two commands. You don't just need to have Docker on your system and you can with two commands, you have the entire service up and running in minutes. So yeah, that's another amazing feature that we have. Okay. Making the initial Jenkins setup simple. So I'll just walk you through the steps that you use for generating. I hope this is not, yeah, this is not objecting. So you select your favorite plugins that you need. You then customize the configuration. And after that, you just relax because after customizing the configuration, they have a lifting is then done by us because you just then need to generate the package. And if you want, you can download the package or you can proceed with generating the warfare. So the service will take care of generating the Jenkins.warf for you. You just need to download and run. Okay. Where is this app hosted? So the app is currently hosted on customized or Jenkins.io. I will be while I do my demo, I will be taking you out of the slides. So you can have a look at it later on with smoke. So you can also download. As I said in the previous slide, as I was going to take you forward, the Jenkins formulas is a repository that you would want to check out. It has prebuilt configurations for Jenkins like Blue Ocean and so on. You can definitely use them out of the box and you can put those URLs into the custom distribution self-hosted version if I told you want to run it self-hosted. Oh, time for some demos. Okay, let's go out. Yeah. So as you can see, this is the plugin page. We have all of the plugins that we pull in from the update center, the Jenkins update center, and over 1,700 plugins. One major challenge of this particular implementation was how this was taking too long to load, sometimes pulling in 1,700 plugins. So we have caching support for that now, fortunately. And yes, so the steps are, so I'm just going to be adding a few plugins. You can just choose them. If you want, you can even sort them out. So most installed, trending and so on, relevant. According to your liking. So if you want my trending, sorry. So yeah, I'll just select a couple of them. The next thing that you, after selecting your plugins, you do is you submit your plugin. And on submission, you'll get a model. And on this model, you can enter all of your details. So you have the Jenkins online meetup. You enter a Jenkins version. You enter the artifact ID. So if you, whatever you want to name it, suppose if you're developing one where it's a Jcast sort of package, you can rename it as per, so this is for demo purposes. Okay. Furthermore, if you wanted a Docker build, you can include a Docker tag. Currently, there are a few issues. There's a disclaimer. There are a few issues with the Docker building inside because this runs in a Docker container. And then we have a Docker and Docker. That's a bit of a disclaimer. So you can include the build tag though, because we wanted that feature to be supported. You click generate package. So yeah, as soon as you hit generate package configuration, the service generates a package for you. All of your plugins come right in as you selected previously. And after you select all of these things, you can then, you have two options. So you can either download the wire file or you can download the package or configuration. So if I just download the package or configuration, as you can see on the left of my screen in my cursor, you will have your YML downloaded. So you'll ask me what's the advantage of having a YML. So the Jenkins custom water package currently takes this file and generates a water package for you. So if you do not want to use the service and you want to use your custom water package, you can use that as well. Because this takes in, because the custom water package takes this as an input. So yeah, just before I demo the water file, I would like to come to the community configurations because that's where the minimal working configuration of Jenkins is hosted and we have a valid Jenkins version there. So yeah, so we have two versions. This, these two YMLs are currently hosted right here. So if you see, yeah, custom Jenkins distribution service community configuration. This repository will down the line be hosted by Jenkins on their repository page, on their GitHub organization, I'm so sorry, where you will then find all of the configurations. So whatever configurations you can see here, those are the same configurations you can see here. So that's what's essentially happening. As in when we expand these community configurations list, you can add, you will find more and more community configurations listed out here. So they will be named AWS Azure and so on, so on, Blue Ocean and so on. Okay, yeah, so after you have them all displayed in this page, you can definitely choose to change the version, sorry, the URL that you would like to point this community configuration to. So if you're not happy with custom distribution service community configuration, that's not a problem. You can enter your own URL for your, where your repository has been hosted for community configurations. Yeah, so if you click to view details, yeah, so you get to view details. You see one of the, one of the sample configurations that I had set up. So it generally loads the entire configuration and you can then click on download Wi-Fi. So I would like to show you. So yeah, when you click on Wi-Fi, what happens is the custom Wi-Packager in the background runs the entire generation of the Wi-Fi. So I'll just be waiting for a few seconds around. It takes around 25 seconds to bundle all of the plugins. So while we wait for that, the Wi-Packager built by Oleg, built and maintained by Oleg, is one of the heavy lifters of the custom distribution service and it relies on the custom Wi-Packager to package and bundle. One of the features that we plan to include here is the ability is for more robust errors. So currently, if something goes wrong, you might not get a very good error message on the screen and that's something that we will be trying to improve in the future. So yeah, as you can see, the Wi-Fi is being built. I think it should take a few more seconds. Yeah, there it is. So yeah, as soon as the Wi-Fi completes building it, it happens in a temporary folder. So as soon as you have the Wi-Fi, it returns it. So as you can see, there are almost, I've been generating Wi-Files for a long time, so there are 13 of them. But yeah, this is the Wi-Fi that you can just run with Jenkins, Jar, Jenkins, what that's the command. And then you can spin up the Jenkins Wi-Fi with all of the plugins pre-bundled. So whatever you have selected here, configuration is scored, CI, Matrix, Auth, so on, all of them will be just bundled in that one, right on the book. So you don't have to leave your browser. Yeah, that's, I think, that is it for all of the demonstration of all of the features. One thing I would like to show you is the repository. The repository is self-hosted. So you can use just Docker Compose, build and Docker Compose up and you'll have the service running up in seconds. Apart from that, if you do want to add certain configurations, we have the environment files supported. That is a pull request still in development, so it might come soon, where you can change your environment variables inside of environment files. So yes, that was one of the features that is coming. Last, I wanted to talk about how can you participate? So we have our GitHub distribution service, as the service posted on the repository. We also have a GitHub chat where you can ping in or send in your queries, feedback, questions, and so on. And we also have a project link. So the project link has been updated with all of the phases, all of the development that was done throughout all of the phases. We have also the demo links of the previous phases there. What's next? So I wanted to talk about what's next because the plugin has a lot of the service has a lot of potential. And there are a lot of features to come. I think three months, to be honest, was less to implement a plethora of features that we tried to put in, but yeah, there are still that need to go in. So if you don't mind, I can take you a bit back to the roadmap. And as you can see, there are a lot of issues here, but we're at the throat now. So one of the things, yeah, one of the things for the roadmap is some prototype for the JCAS creation. So Jenkins configuration is very popular among the community and we would like to support that as well. So if you see this page right here, you just have your bundles and stuff, but if you want to include something like a JCAS section, we would like to support that as well, where you just put in your JCAS, can you have your JCAS YML as a support? So you can definitely include that as well here.  So you can just start your Jenkins work right out of the box with a few clicks. That is one of the most features for the roadmap, one most important one. Apart from that, we want to support running the service on Windows. That's a feature that might be coming way, way down the line. Another thing that we want to support is pull request creation. So currently, you can only view them. So what if I create a new configuration here and I want to create a new pull request or I want to share it with the community? That's a feature that we've been planning for the roadmap ahead, so that you can just create a pull request using maybe GitHub bots, like ci.jenkins.io has a GitHub application. Maybe we can leverage of that to create pull request inside repositories. That's one of the features for the roadmap. And another one was, yeah, I don't, this is unable to, that's not a roadmap. I'm sorry, I'm just taking over that for a minute. And Explore Synergy with Image Controller. So this is still under development and discussion. We would like to take a look at this later on. This basically deals with the Kubernetes operator and the sort of images that Red Hat has on their repository list and maybe we can support creation of images right out of the box so that you can not only now generate a war file, but you can also generate an image. So yeah, that's for the roadmap. And yeah, that's about it for my presentation, for my demo. Lastly, just before I finish, I would like to thank my mentors, Kristin and Martin. They have been super, super helpful throughout the entire GSOC phase. They've helped me in almost all of the, all of the holes that I've dug myself into. And Oleg as well on occasions, to help me with all of the technical stuff. Yeah, so I would like to thank them and I really, really appreciated for giving the time out during this COVID pandemic. It's not easy. But yeah, we've kind of managed it and I'm happy to show you that it's also been hosted on its own domain. So I've completely forgot about this. So it's also hosted on customize.jankins.io. However, there are bugs here. This is not fully functional as of now. There are, you might receive some four or four headers. But yeah, it is also hosted on customize.jankins.io. So if you want to play around, we need to still patch up a few things, but we do have an alpha version deployed on it. So yeah, I think the project has been really, really, really great. So yeah, that's it. I'm handing over the mic back to Oleg. Okay, Oleg. Okay, maybe Oleg is not, oh, he's back. No, I'm actually here. I was just trying to unblock myself. Yeah, and so thanks a lot for the demo. I'm great to see that it's working. Yeah, there is a lot of stuff here and there to complete. So yeah, probably the scope was too big, but yeah, it starts with so many stories. Many of them seem to be finished. But still, it's a great proof of concept. Custom Jenkins word packages as a service. Hopefully it can be expanded from there to support more and more user features. And yeah, I'm looking forward to see what will be user feedback there. So thanks for doing that. I think it's a quite important step for the Jenkins system. Yeah, I'd like to slide in for his work on creating this web app. And one of the things that I really like about it is I can use it on my local host. So if I'm working on configurations that cannot be shared with the world, I can run this entirely locally. So that was one of the features, I guess, which was important is the ability to run sort of behind a firewall. So if you don't have to use the hosted one, if you have some private configurations that you need to be working on, just wanted to enhance that capability or promote it. Right. And it's been great. Like it's been a great project. So like this summer has been very good and it's been really great to see the tool be built and to see like it kind of developing through different phases and see the UI and knowing it's essentially like two different applications running so later that to create like two different things and like doing a whole front end and a back end. So it's really interesting to see the tool come together and it's really amazing to see it hosted. And kind of it's all performed. So congrats. You did a great job this summer.


Hello and welcome to the CMC markets chart of the week video with me David Madden. Today's date is Wednesday the 5th of September 2018 and the time has just gone 1215 British summertime This feature of the week is a check as the tax the German market and the reason why I won't talk about the German market today Is effectively because the the tax drop below a fairly significant area of support And has also managed to actually trade down to a level not seen since early April So we are talking a Marker reaching a five-month low which really gives indication of actually how negative a sentiment is on the German market If you take a look at the price action in recent months, what we can see here is that After the the June rally the market traded lower and it was the first occasion where it respected this area here I've been around 12,100 the market pushed higher here in July But those have a July high got nowhere near the June high Market push lower yet again I once again respected the the support in around the 12,100 area and the push to higher again in August But once again the August high was below the July to the July high and then again the market drifted lower once again I said instead of actually supporting the Is there actually respecting rather the support area in around the 12,100 area market actually break below What so we've now seen two lower highs and actually now a lower low and as I mentioned at the start of the video We're now I bet we traded this morning at levels not seen since early early Early apologies early April. So we are talking about multi-month low. So the sentiment is quite weak It's also what pointing out how how underperforming the jerk the tax is in comparison with the US markets This here is a German market in late August It's nowhere near the July high Which is nowhere near the May which is nowhere near the June high which is nowhere near the all-time high Meanwhile over the over in the US the S&P 500 Back in August was at all-time highs at the Nasdaq all-time high So a really good indication of how negative sentiment is in Germany and how underperforming The German market is in comparison with some of the US indices now It's also we're pointing out that there's quite considerable trade tensions between the US and the EU Another month ago the rest and that you both pledge to pry and actually cut down the trade barriers between both sides a few days ago President Trump actually is looking to get a rollback on that and President Trump knows full well the European car manufacturing sector And particularly the German car manufacturing sector As it is a way of actually applying pressure to Brussels So if you're going to trade the tax, please keep an eye out for President Trump's tweets and the relationship between Brussels and Washington DC Now if you do better to continue to push lower on the German market, the next layer to keep on air for would be 12,000 on the DAX it's a big psychological number and it's an area of tourists and traders We would keep an eye out on if you go south of 12,000 And there to keep an eye out for will be will be in around here Levels not seen since April in around the 11,800 region if you go south of that They keep an eye out for this area here just shy of 11,700 in round 11,692 If we do see any bounce backs In the DAX in an area of potential resistance could be this blue line here the fifthly moving average which comes into play just shy of 12,500 and if you go beyond that The late august high of just shy of 12,600 12,597 There they're about And if you go beyond that I know to keep an eye out for will be this red line here the 230 moving average which comes into play at 12,600 and 78 And notice how we're actually acted as both resistance and also a support in recent months And if a metric is acted as both support and our resistance in recent months It makes it all the more likely that it will act as support and our resistance in the near term In relation to to the to the To the to the video itself and the other video content that we hear at CNC markets I've been producing if you have any feedback feel free to leave a comment or any positive or negative Any feedback at all on google reviews. Well, that's all for me this week. Thank you very much

This time, Ukraine will attack Russian oil and gas pipelines. Ukraine is open to the possibility of attacking Russia's oil and gas infrastructure. If Moscow ramps up its targeting of Ukraine's electric system this winter, Ukraine Energy Minister German Galushchenko said in an interview. Galushchenko, speaking with Politico in Washington after meeting with Biden administration officials and lawmakers, said Russia has regularly perpetrated cyber attacks against Ukraine's electric grid and is expected to ramp up physical attacks as temperatures fall and people depend more on energy to heat their homes. His comments came after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said last month Ukraine, which has launched multiple attacks against Russian targets, would respond if Russia stepped up attacks on his country's power grid this winter. This could open the door to the possibility that the European conflict could add more turmoil to global energy markets. When asked if Zelensky's response could include Ukraine targeting Russia's vast oil and gas operations by far the biggest driver of its economy, Galushchenko replied, it would only be fair. When answering Russia's attack, we would answer by taking the same approach, attacking their energy infrastructure, Galushchenko said. Europe has already significantly cut its reliance on Russian oil and natural gas, largely thanks to import of US liquefied natural gas. But Russia still sells large volumes of its fossil fuels to China and India, helping to keep a lid on global oil prices. Galushchenko downplayed the idea that attacking Russia's ability to produce or ship its oil and gas would cause a spike in prices, saying that producers could make up the supply.

It's about that spiral of inquiry and what's happening for this child, what is it that I need to be thinking about here, what learning do I need to do as a professional? Is it shifting that child's learning? And if not, well, don't keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. It's about trying different things and monitoring the impact of those practices. I was able to go in and support and team-teach, so I was modelling some lessons, I was working with groups in the class, I was observing this teacher, this teacher was observing me. It was just about collaborative practice and being able to bounce ideas off each other at the time. Yes, it's S-U-R-V-I-V-E. Oh, thanks. We found that our targeted students would come into the writing lesson having a whole lot of mana around their knowledge and around their skills. The kids already knew what was going on. The children already had had a little practice with what it was they were going to be doing. They already had the vocabulary that's set underneath that. We would often use the targeted students' writing as an exemplar of what it could look like at the right level. It's about removing barriers to their learning.


The number of elderly people in India is rapidly growing due to improved life expectancies. This has led to an increase in the dependency of these individuals as they become more vulnerable to mistreatment and neglect. In order to address this issue, the government passed the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act in 2007. This act requires adult children and grandchildren to provide financial assistance to their elderly parents and grandparents if needed. Additionally, those who abandon their elders entirely may be fined or sentenced to jail time. While this law has been effective in some cases, it does not address all issues related to elder care. This article was authored by Utsav Raj and Abhiruti Dalhotra.


Hey, Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video. Before we start, we'd like to thank you for all the support that you've given us. Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology and mental health more accessible to everyone. And you help us do that. So, thanks again. No, back to the video. Isaac Newton, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Judith Polgar, Stephen Hawking. All these names have one thing in common, and that is intelligence. These individuals have contributed life-altering and influential works that have changed the course of humanity in some way. They are the highest ideals of human intelligence, which some strive to become. However, just because you have improved Fermat's last theorem or made an outstanding contribution to the sciences or arts does not mean you don't possess intelligence. Whether it's doodling all the time or staying curious about the world, certain habits or tendencies that you do can turn out to be a sign of high intelligence. So, without further ado, Psych2Go presents eight things highly intelligent people do. Number one, you can adapt. Are you able to adjust to different environments with ease? Intelligence is not only defined by the ability to gather a lot of information or by repeated memorization or regurgitation, but also your ability to successfully adapt to changes in the environment. This is because it requires many cognitive processes such as perception, learning, memory, and problem solving. Therefore, being able to quickly and efficiently use the information at hand to your advantage is a sign of high intelligence. Number two, question everything. Do you take on every opportunity you get to learn more about the world? Highly intelligent and curious individuals see every moment as an opportunity to learn. According to a Harvard review article, CQ or Curiosity Quotient, along with EQ and IQ, determines your ability to manage complexity in information overload. It explains why many hiring managers want candidates who seem curious and conscientious since those who are innately curious are more motivated to seek answers and learn more. This also means that they accumulate more knowledge throughout their life than those who only rely on their intelligence. Number three, you understand that you don't know everything. Are you able to identify your strengths and your weaknesses? Intelligent people are often perceived as being overconfident, but truly intelligent individuals know that they don't know everything. Admitting that you don't know everything shows high levels of self-awareness as well as metacognition. Highly intelligent people are able to access their strengths and weaknesses and feel encouraged to learn more. Number four, you seek knowledge. Are you always searching for information? The correlation between learning and intelligence is explained by neuroplasticity. The brain's ability to restructure itself. When you learn something new, your brain is creating electrochemical pathways to access that information. However, the key is repetition. Repeating information can strengthen the pathways your neurons have created. The more pathways you create, the more fluid your intelligence will become. Number five, you get bored. Do you get bored a lot? Boredom arises because you're excited about being in a new environment, but you're faced with setbacks that prevent you from engaging with it. While being bored is frustrating, it's actually necessary for creativity and intelligence. A 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries found that participants who were asked to perform a mundane sorting task performed higher in the later creative section of the study than those who were asked to create a complex story as to why they relate to an event. Number six, you doodle. Has this happened to you before? You're in a meeting or a lecture that has gone on for hours, and despite the boredom you feel, you've started to take notes, but halfway through, your page is covered in doodles. Doodling is your brain's way of trying to stay focused and also processing. Scientists have looked at the brains of doodlers and found activity in the prefrontal cortex, which is involved with analytical thinking, memory, problem-solving, and logic. A study conducted by Jackie Andrade at the University of Plymouth in the UK monitored participants' levels of engagement and memory during a mock telephone call and found that those who doodled retained 29% more information than those who did not. Number seven, self-examination and reflection. Do you tend to reflect on your decisions and actions? When we think about intelligence, we often think about knowledge-based intellect. However, there are many sides to intelligence. One aspect of it is emotional intelligence or EQ. Those with high levels of EQ are generally self-aware and introspective. They have a clear sense of who they are, such as their emotions, needs, and desires. Therefore, they're more likely to establish meaningful relationships and to achieve their goals. And number eight, remaining open. Are you open to different opportunities? Do you enjoy learning about new things? Various studies have investigated the correlation between openness and intelligence and found that the degree of openness can actually affect your fluid intelligence. So being open-minded signals cognitive adaptability and flexibility, which is what keeps you curious and ready to learn. Remember that intelligence cannot be easily measured and it's not fixed. So keep learning and surprising yourself. Let us know if you've done any of the things we've listed in the comments below.
