I really love the keyboard. Really, really nice. My first actual Linux history was redhat. I got this from the Linux Emporio, which was a UK company that sent CDs to people before anyone has real internet. I heard the Red Hat. That's a thing. That's in magazines. I'll get that. Went to install it, though, and it said, oh, I'm sorry, you need a... I went to install Red Hat 4, or whatever it was, and 3, maybe. I got really annoyed because I'd spent, you know, £7 on this. Which was a lot for me then. I was quite young. So I was like, oh, grumble, grumble. But luckily, when I ordered this, there's a box you can tick saying, send me any old old CDs that you've got lying around. Typically old releases of stuff that they just can't sell anymore. And this happened to be a W disc. So for all you archaeologists and historians, that's potato. And I still have the CD. This photo is from a few years ago. I don't actually fold a CD drive. So when I found this, I actually went and downloaded it, and I so included it. So moving on a bit. My first Debian experience, I was using it for a few years. Things like that, changing between Katie and me. But this is my first patch over a cold December. What you don't see here is that I actually screw up the control. I still can't use the VTS properly. But this was great. I just felt great sending this off. This was an RC bug at the time in Lilihont. What really got me is that Thomas, riding back saying, rock on, we'll get this into edge. And that was just amazing. That was just like, wow, okay. I went from nothing to this is going to be in the release. I think I came out in April of the next year. And that was just so rewarding. And it was great. I went to the actual East Party in Cambridge with surgeon and things like that. It was great. But it was this sort of enthusiasm that really got me there. Thomas was not around the project anymore, but we should all do more for this. I was completely nobody then. First email for the VTS. This was a real lesson to me and should be a lesson to all of us. So, yes, these days, well, moving on from there, I became a GSoc student dead in live under Daniel Bowman. We did some cool stuff. I made a really nice interface for making live images and things like that. And this is a very fast-moving project at the time. I think we've updated the splash screen a bit. These days, at a new event, I did some ex-packaging. I added the Nuvo driver to deviant when that was born, the even shiny. I have some more random deviant-related hacks in my own, like the apt-FS file system. You mount this magic fuse file system and it pretends to be an apt repo and it unpacks all your source. The deviant-developed changes IRC was a disgusting, twisted logic line for now, someone else has to maintain that. And I did the annual wall packaging and everything I did this summer. So, yes, these days I'm doing a lot of work on the reproducible builds project, which kind of keeps me interested. It tickles my OCD, at the very least. Diffusco was a great tool to hack on. It's pretty cool. Also, I do long-term support. I'm an FEP assistant, sometimes accepting packages, sometimes protecting packages. Recently, I just got back into mid-dean hacking, so that's all pretty cool. That's just a summary of what I'm doing. Hopefully, I'm building more approachable on things like that. I mean, in my spare time, I've played a cello. I have done this in cells 4. I didn't show you the picture of me while I am 4, because I'm a bit embarrassed at the bottom of that. Okay. I also play the older gamble and the loot. So, now I'm working on the real things. So, I want to talk about what's good and what's bad, and deviant and things like that. So, what's the good in deviant? Obviously, stretch is pretty good. That's pretty obvious. And what's good about deviant? Well, deviant itself, you know, and so on. And then this CD case is pretty cool as well. We're also doing the upstream of choice for these derivatives. I mean, these are the ones I can just find logos in in about two seconds, so if yours isn't here, don't hit me too much. But yet, this is a sign that we're really sort of... People even making new distros today are based in deviant. And that really speaks to what we've built, how flexible we are, how reliable we are as a sort of social project in a sense of are we going to go in one direction one day and one in the other? No, I don't think we are. So, people can just be very reliable and hedge even their emotional interests onto us, because we're not going to just pull the rug underneath them and decide to take the operating system in different directions. You know, we've got some cool things, like I'm not sure everyone saw this, but we were on Russia today during the launch of the Orbital Inspector, which I think was last year. That's pretty cool. Well, I haven't found that. The other nice things is that we keep, with a spearhead of quite a few initiatives, so, I mean, this is slightly blown up by referencing reproducible builds here, but what other distros would have pushed this forward? Would they have had the time? Would they have had the long-term vision, the sort of that kind of thing? And I think Debbie's really uniquely placed to do these kind of things, where it's sort of a bottom-up approach, means that someone can come along one day and say, I think builds should be reproducible. I'm just going to hack on that. Let's just see how it goes. And he can go, and this shows that he can clearly go a long way. The other thing that's actually good about Debbie and this thing right now is that, although Alioth is a little bit aging, et cetera, and you may have noticed, the fact that we're planning to move away from it and we're having quite a bit more discussion about what software we're going to use and bringing out streams and things like that, I think that shows that a real healthy thing about the project right now. So although this is currently not the best thing in the world, we're moving forward and it's not reached a completely critical point just yet. We're also still having fun, so I'm not sure you can see, but I'm not going to tell you who it is, but someone every month is donating lit cents to W. And this is great. So I think this really shows how we're still got a bit of a sense of humour and things like that. We get a lot of donations and some of them are really hardening and sometimes you see the names that you can think and the amounts you just think, wow, this is great. People really care, they still care about Debbie in a really meaningful way. We still have fun, we still meet up and we're all here, so this was last year in Austria. I think we really value these meetups. It's not only the hacking we get done when we're here, it's also a method in person, it's just so much friendlier. We'll go away from this dead pump tired and there won't be many uploads in the next week, but maybe not, but we'll just feel a bit more connected to the project and to these things. That's a slightly irrational part of human beings, but I feel like it's really important and the more meetings we can arrange, the more we can go to, we'll just all feel better and the project will be a little smoother and we'll just enjoy it more.  Moving on a little bit more, the badge, well, you know, not everything's great at Debbie, so as I mentioned previously, I think we have two main problems in Debbie around communication and perception. In terms of communication, that's mostly around, I think, since becoming DPL, it's been about interactions between teams, primarily, rather than personal interactions, because, well, I'll come and talk about that later, but one of the biggest problems, I think, is the expectations people have of teams are often not met, and often that's because the teams themselves are just not in a position to offer something, and so if we all had better expectations that, you know, this team can do this on this time frame, if that's really long, as long as they knew when they were asking, it would just smooth everything out, maybe there's a better route, but what I'm seeing at the moment is teams being asked to do things and it kind of gets dropped, because the team has an amount of power, and everyone gets a bit of stress, and it's not really when that team is per view to begin with or things like that. So I'm not really sure the right solution in each team could have some sort of page talking about what we can provide and in what mode and how long you don't wait until you get that, but I'm not sure that formalising really fits. In terms of perception, I think we do not the greatest job talking to the quote-unquote outside world. These are some random posts on Reddit, mostly about like firmware, installation, the kind of typical things you might not find on any support forum, and we, yeah, it's sometimes quite sad really in these things, and I think we do much better job at not just making it easy for new users, having empathy with the first-time user, so when we load the Debian install or whatever, or things like that, we kind of know the kind of problems really, but we need to jump out of that and say what if we were using this at the first time, and that's just really hard in general, and I think it's just, it's even harder for hackers and things like that. I think we do impring even more on Clint Eastwood's copyrights and what's the ugly end of it, because there's, yeah, well, obviously, first thing's ugly. So, yeah, we still have some very, very bad personal communication, so sending that to a new user is just, I don't know words really, but we should be doing that in 2017 to anyone. We can't read it. Good. It's a not very welcoming response to a new comment who may have posted to the wrong list or something like that, but it's a trivial administrative error. We're just going to focus on, you know, what, how big of a wrong one. There's also a fair amount of arguments behind the scenes, unfortunately. This happens to be, well, you don't want to read this one, quite frankly. It's not even safe to work already. But, yeah, I mean, that's hate mail to myself and many, but there's also a lot of dramas behind the scenes as well. They're not necessarily ugly, but they're more tragic and it's just, yeah, these things are annoying. So what I really want to talk about now is my vision for Deviant, and hopefully it will be interesting to you or what I like about particular aspects of Deviant and how we should really crack them up. So this is like a motivational part and things like that. And what I've always thought and sort of coming from the sort of start-up world and things like that is one question that's always interesting is to ask what is a company or organisation betting on? Like, what are they kind of hauling on? We're on this idea, if it doesn't work, we'd kind of go bust. Now, that doesn't really fit Deviant, but it's just a really interesting framework and question to ask. So, I mean, you can look at organisations like the Free Software Foundation. They went all in on Free Software. They didn't try and do other things as well. So what is Deviant better than these things? Like what risks is it taking? I think we could just say a lot more risks. I mean, this is the rather infamous open SSL change. And this could be bad with someone saying yes. But this is someone taking a risk and I think we just take a lot more. It's reversible as well. Most of these changes, you can roll them out. I mean, we have the experimental suite which I think is completely underused. I mean, what is it? One, two, three percent of packages have an unstable version. We should be using that a lot more. Or just unstable, you know, things break. No one's going to hit you too hard. But I think we're growing up in a culture where we aren't jumping on people's backs as much. And the more people are less afraid of load things, they're slightly risky, just taking more chances and things like that, that becomes a muscle that grows and comes with extra use. We can start to drop our ego even more but it's difficult as well from a personal point of view because it speaks to people's insecurities if they don't want to see me making mistakes. But I think that we're at this point where we can tolerate that a bit more. Here's one good example of an entry recent email about that farmer and we should see a post like this once a week. And sometimes the ideas will be very well thought through. This one is very extreme. I just haven't been booted yet to enable the APR myself. But we should be seeing these once a week and having discussions like big proposal of changes and we should run with some of them. Maybe APR turns out to be disaster but we can just revert it. It's not a problem. The perfect is the enemy of the good etc. Here's one example of something that was reversed. It's now being closed. No jazz binary and now we're not changing it. We've changed it back or whatever the actual details are. It's fine, just reverse it. Who's saying, oh, I'm at the city of the tech committee they said one way, one year, one thing, the next. No one's saying that. Fine. Great. We've moved on. We've changed. We should do more of it. That's pretty much what I had to say, really, about... So, yeah. We should also ask them what help. So if people have issues this is to basically help the... to get over people's ego and things about trying experimental stuff. So if you do have an idea, I mean, do try something private, of course, but also do make posts, like, introduce it to the development and project so we can try all these interesting new ideas and push them in the right direction in that sense. So I didn't have anything else more to say and thought I'd leave a lot of it up to any questions people have. I think some people do. I want to thank you once again for lifting me as leader. I'll say it's just an honour to be up here and see so many friendly faces and things like that. Anyway, thank you. Hi, Chris. So I appreciate I'm probably not even the first person to ask you this yet but it is a long-standing tradition or you're going to stand again for DPL next year. Is that really a tradition?  Try to avoid the question. I haven't thought about it. Cool. Are you enjoying the job? I'm very much enjoying the job. It is quite demanding. It takes a fair amount of time and a different pile of spoons that I'm usually taking from and that's been personally quite a fulfilling experience. And very informative in teaching me about myself and growing as a person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't call it. But yes, I'm very, very much enjoying it. Excellent. Hi, Chris. My name is Brandon and I have maybe some notion of the pressures you're under. Hi, everybody. But not to pull the spotlight onto myself as I want to do but rather to focus on a point you made which I wanted to underscore emphatically if I could. I think you're right to ask for the project to take a few more risks. The point I really wanted to zoom in on though is your emphasis on the under-usage of experimental versus stable. And also this point ties in with the whole issue of teams getting over work. I'll tell you firsthand, I haven't really said this in front of a large audience before, but managing the issues between teams was the single hardest aspect of the job for me. I don't think I handled it well. So if you want to say I burned out and left, if you could hang it on any one thing, it was that. Because, you know, even though I was notorious for getting in arguments with people, I really care about everybody in the project then and now. And I'm sure you're experiencing some of this yourself. It's difficult to work through some of these issues. And the key I wanted to focus here on is expectations management because that's the phrase that popped into my mind was something that you hear a lot in corporate culture, SLA, service level agreement. And you said, well, do we really want to formalize our teams that much? And I would say there's a risk in not doing that, which is that people will make assumptions anyway. People are going to accept a certain level of performance from any team or even in the individual package management. And if you don't make these explicit, then, you know, 200 different people are going to have, you know, maybe 100 to 120 different ideas differing about what can really come from that. One of the beautiful things about the Dewey and Policy project, which goes all the way back almost to the beginning, is precisely that it establishes that set of expectations. I don't expect team management to be quite so easily codified, but that is the direction that I would recommend that we explore as a project to try and address this issue. I'm not surprised, but I am sorry to hear that internal team struggles, more between team struggles, continue to be such a large, taking a large part of your time as I've seen from your bits. And that's the most wisdom I can offer you with the hindsight that I have. So thank you for taking on that role. And good luck. And the job definitely happens first, so please enjoy. In case you don't see me for another 12 years. Thanks again. If you want to speak to me after this, you're obviously very welcome. You all know my face now. So I can't be as anonymous as I was before. Anyway, thank you again, and I'll see you around the rest of the week.


We are talking about ethical leadership and we did a very interesting exercise in the last session and we are going to do another technical exercise today. And the topic of the exercise is leadership examples during COVID-19. Now, ladies and gentlemen, since 2020, you can say January for some countries and March for other countries, we have seen that the world has gone through a complete spasm of change and there has been so much which has changed in the past two years that maybe in the past 50 years things have not changed like that. The advent of COVID which started off from China and then spread its tentacles across the globe basically made life at a standstill and businesses had to totally change how they were doing things. There were so many questions which emerged why is this COVID-19 basically come out as a virus, why did it spread so fast, why could it not be contained, why was life paralyzed, why were businesses closed down, we all know that the new normal has emerged, we saw a new concept of social distancing, we saw how people had to wear masks, we saw how they were lockdowns, complete metropolitan cities, cities with millions and millions of people, they were all confined to their homes, we saw the emergence of ghost cities basically like they were zombie land. But in all of this, we have also seen that there has been great resilience, there has been a great comeback, there have been some wonderful examples of success, so in the failures we see that there is light, we see that in these times of difficulty people got together and basically accomplished the impossible. People reached out to each other basically comforting each other in these times of need where by this global pandemic wreaked havoc and killed many, many millions of people around the world and affected billions of people around the world. So all of these changes ladies and gentlemen definitely have a huge impact on organizations and also on ethical leadership and on leadership decision making.  Now when we are talking about this, then basically what we see is that research online a current example of religious response to the COVID-19 crisis in Pakistan, we see that how this has changed the whole dynamics and why the noted figure demonstrates ethical leadership and sound judgment and have them trace historical arc for the chosen leaders action. So again what we see is that in all of this chaos, in all of this ambiguity, in all of this confusion and in all of these losses there were still so many corporate leaders who would always stand up to ethical leadership and would take the right decisions and would ensure that there was better employee relationship and the networking between the employees especially in this time of need would ensure that they would be able to collectively overcome these obstacle impediments, constraints and huge challenges which were emerging. And then another thing that we see ladies and gentlemen is that many people emerged as leaders also from different positions because there was a gap because there was an opportunity and many of them then chose to develop their own propositions of leadership and basically exhibit some role modeling leadership action. So that is very very important when we are looking at it, we basically see that pitfalls in policy put forward the shortcomings leaders paid during the time. So the policies of organizations were not conducive to this unpredictable pandemic called COVID and therefore there was great chaos and also a lot of agony had to be faced. I would like all of you to identify those pitfalls in policy from a national context from your organizational context and even from your community context and just study what you do and then have a discussion with some friend around you so that you can further enrich your learning and also have a difference perspective. I would like you to also then in this exercise engage in a comparison of a Pakistani based leader with a leader from another country. So you can pick up any leader for example you could pick up Umar Asad and then you could compare it maybe to the health minister of the UK or maybe of Nigeria or maybe of Malaysia and just see that how these leaders were able to do things differently yet for the benefit of the nation and for the larger good. And similarly in organization I would like you to look at the different decisions taken by your leader during this COVID and someone in a similar industry taking different decisions and having a totally different impact on what was happening. I would like to talk about ladies and gentlemen a COVID-19 response social enterprise called RISC and this is a student-driven social enterprise RISC during COVID provided over 2.2 million meals to the needy through 3000 plus volunteers so that was all phenomenal. It functioned to 23 cities in Pakistan during the pandemic and the queen of England was stored upon them the Commonwealth points of light award 2020 which is definitely a great distinction. So we see that a very small social enterprise basically driven by students found this opportunity to serve those people who have been afflicted by COVID and they therefore then just ballooned into a huge organization functioning from 23 cities having 3000 plus volunteers having a very dynamic and enthusiastic team who wanted to make a positive difference and then they basically came out with university chapters and also with city chapters and social entrepreneurship chapters which all augmented together to basically make a huge positive impact with the society and prove to others that yes despite all of the limitations work can be done it can be accomplished and humanity can serve humanity and that is the very essence of ethical leadership and therefore I would like all of you to go through that content to see the questions that basically emerge to discuss it amongst yourselves and later on you can also ask me the questions and I would try to answer the best of my ability. So again what we see is that COVID-19 had a huge impact on ethical leadership and leadership as a whole and later on through the resilience many individuals and companies were not only able to come back but actually also show and exhibit immense growth due to the potential and due to the different competencies which were emerging through this pandemic of COVID-19 thank you so much.


What's up everybody? Jason of Rajasby's casebridge.com. We just sold out our first filler for the $3,000 mystery crate spot, and we're giving it away here with this 2020 optic choice baseball one box break around on teams number 25 And again guys the way this works is first we do the break around my customer names and teams distribute the hits out and Then at the end of the break, we'll take the original list of customer names Use a brand new dice roller Randomize only the customer names and just like that guys number one top name and number one gets the spot in the mystery crate And just to show you guys we do have one preview card So this card right here that I'm about to show you guys will be part of the mystery crate It is one of the top hits not might not be necessarily one of the most valuable hits but one of the top hits for sure and Somebody in that mystery crate is gonna get this triple autograph triple patch Number to 12 of Tom Brady Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw, and it is a nine five it is a Gem plus centering was a ten edges nine five corners nine five surface nine five and these are all game worn patches as well So that is one of the top hits in this mystery crate right here So there you go. There's one of your previews again. We do have the next filler up We have to do at least three of these To spot straight up in three or two more fillers to go guys, so we're almost there So let's get this going guys. Let's do the break first So let's roll the dice will randomize the customer names and the teams that do the break two and a five seven times one two three four five six and seven seven times Robert Flores down to PJ two and a five seven times one two three four five six seven All right, you guys so there you go. So stick to what you got I'm gonna quickly alphabetize it I'll give you guys a quick 30 seconds to look at your teams But no trades All right guys All right, we got Josh Rojas 10 out of 88 that is for Arizona out of 45 Brandon McKay to 88 Alex Braggman Madison bum gardener to 84 There you go There's the five numbered cards. You have two parallels right here, which I think should be silvers Little bum gardener right there for Arizona out of 99 Sam Hilliard for Colorado Taylor Tramel Or sorry Tyrone Taylor. Why did I say Taylor Tramel Tyrone Taylor to 99 Milwaukee and So the first one's Colorado that's gonna go to PJ and then this one from Milwaukee is gonna go to PJ as well and Wow, we got a Jason Dominguez raider prospect. I think PJ went three for three. I think you also have the Yankees 38 out of 49 very nice sweet. Oh, that's a great boxer here There you go Now let's switch teams guys and let's see who's gonna get that one spot in the mystery creamer top name and number one gets it Let's roll it We got ourselves a one out of five six times one two three four five and six boom Six times out PJ at number one after six Times congratulations PJ. What a break for you in the box break and now you got the spot in the break itself Again guys the next fillers already up number 26. Gotta do two more plus two spots straight up We're almost halfway there guys. Appreciate it. Jasper's case breaks calm


And he will talk about some cool tools related to Wikimedia stuff that you, as maybe Wikimedia users, could use and do could suffer. So let's have some applause for Andre, please. Battery. Oh, it works, right? Perfect. Sorry for that. Thanks for coming. I'm Andre. I work for Wikimedia. I was even wondering whether I should put the logo here because this actually has nothing to do with the Wikimedia Foundation itself. So this is all about volunteer work, volunteer software, because it's always a mix between several entities, like Wikimedia Deutschland, Wikimedia Foundation, Sweden, also lots of other companies, for example. And I decided to give this talk because there is, if you are on a Wikimedia website, for example, Wikipedia, there is some obvious software there. Of course, the Wikis software itself, which allows you to view and edit pages. There are a lot of extensions. About 130 deployed on Wikimedia servers. But there's also lots of software around which pretty often isn't very visible. And the Wikimedia tech world is pretty complex. It's all free and open source software. And some areas are actually fully covered by volunteers. And especially, I'm going to be in the bots, gadgets, user scripts, tools, and a bit mobile apps area today. We have many communities, many languages. For example, there's already more than 300 Wikipedias when it comes to different languages. So there's a lot of diverse interests, use cases, technical needs. You can probably imagine a few things technically already when it comes to different scripts used in different cultures or right to left, left to right. Many other examples like this. And as everything is free and open source, a lot of volunteers experiment with new ideas they have. And also bridge some workflow gaps that might exist for these communities. And maybe other communities are not even aware of that. So pretty often it happens that some community members come up with some ideas. And over time, they evolve. Sometimes they even become a code repository or a gadget that also gets copied to another Wikimedia site, like a different language Wikipedia, these kinds of things. And earlier this year, some people decided that it would be beautiful to appreciate the work and create a showcase of the most impressive software solutions which were implemented outside of the Wikimedia core code repository and the extensions, both to celebrate the software solutions and also the people behind the tools. Because this is a lot about ideas, about passion, about skills, pretty often also finding maybe somebody who has more experience or knowledge in a certain culture if you cannot create something yourself and teaming up. So early this year, the idea came up to celebrate such great pieces of software by creating an award. And there was a Wikimedia conference, I think, in August in Stockholm. It's called Wikimania, which is not only about technical aspects, it's really about everything related to the Wikimedia communities. And beforehand, there were a few people who came together and tried to find categories and the tools to give an award to in these categories. So I'm basically remixing this award session from earlier this year here without giving out awards. And my hope is that you might see some great stuff, might find some stuff interesting. It's not necessarily if you run your own media Wikimedia installation on your server, some stuff might be to Wikimedia specific use cases. But maybe you might get some ideas or also stuff you weren't aware of and might want to use. Because there are a lot of tools out there, as I said. And sometimes it's really hard to discover them because they're all. Oh, thank you. Because they might be on separate Wikis. All right. So the first category is experience. And it was won by the locator tool by Simon04. It's a tool that helps you adding the geocode, the exact position to existing images, especially on Wikimedia Commons, which is the place to share free media images, videos, things like this. And why it received this prize is because it's really intuitive and easy to use. You can add coordinates to one or more files. You can find it in user preferences. So it's a bit easier to discover. It's available in many languages. It has great tutorials, actively maintained, and it's been used already a lot. So this is the tool. I wonder if I should zoom in a bit. It's called locator tool. And you can enter a category name here. For example, I have one hand less than usual, I realize. Coolest tool awards. In theory, it should also autocomplete. Let's try. Showcases. Maybe if I let's try something else then. I mean, that's what autocomplete is for. And let's load. So in theory, you get the map here with a pointer on it or pointers of the files in this category. And practice, I probably chose a bad example and the Wi-Fi isn't that fast. Or maybe none of the images in that category already has a location. That might also be the case here. It's not the category I tried beforehand when I tried to prepare this session. Sorry for that. I'll go back to this screenshot where you can hopefully imagine how things should look like. The next one would be Hotcat, which is a pretty tiny code base, actually, but used a lot. And cat, in this case, stands for categories, because that is one way to organize, for example, files on Wikimedia Commons, but also articles on Wikipedia's. So this is a screenshot from a file on Wikimedia Commons. And at the bottom, you can see the categories. And you can easily add categories via this tool and also remove change add categories. And it's also pretty discoverable via the user preferences. So to compare this, how much should I zoom in? This here, down here, you can see the categories, how it usually looks, basically just the names. And you can click the categories to again get to the overview page. If you've enabled the gadgets, you see a few more buttons here, which are added by JavaScript. So you can easily remove a category or add a category by clicking the plus at the very end. And then you could also type ahead and add a new category. It works on almost all Wikis. It actually has the highest number when it comes to users. And as usual code is public, several people contribute it. Impact, there is internet archive bot by CyberPower. You probably can guess a little bit from the name what it's supposed to do. We're not running an archive service. We're not ArchiveOrg. But pretty often internet websites or pages go down or get removed or get moved. And as especially Wikipedia articles have a lot of references, then suddenly you cannot check the references anymore, or if that statement is actually true because that website got down. But there is the internet archive. And they archive regularly websites and web pages by crawling the internet. And then this little bot replaces those links or references in, for example, Wikipedia articles at the bottom by the link to internet archive so you can still actually reach the page that was referenced a while ago when that page still existed. And the great thing about this is that it automates work that usually would be very cumbersome and very tiresome to do. And the configuration also depends on local Wiki needs. As an example, I won't show you now running internet archive bots on some page. But you can see here, I basically took the last edit, a totally random one, on English Wikipedia. And you can see here that this is the history of that article called Gilberto Hernandez Ortega. And this is the last edit that internet archive bots made on English Wikipedia by replacing this obviously dad link here that you can see on the left by a link to web.archive.org. So if you go to that article on English Wikipedia and you want to go to that reference, you actually see the reference and not a dad link. That's what it does. Then we had a reusable category. If you wonder where we are, if you get tired, this is the fourth out of 10. That's Pageviews by music animal, caldari, macellary farms. It does what it says. It's basically getting an idea how often does a certain page on one of the Wikimedia sites get accessed. So it's a pretty simple graph. But that can be pretty useful when you want to have statistics. Maybe not necessarily about, well, also some people want to find out which articles are the most popular ones on some Wikipedia. Some people want to find that out. But for me, for example, it's pretty useful when it comes to technical documentation on MediaWiki.org. And I wonder, OK, these two pages kind of overlap when it comes to their content. And I would like to merge them, but which one is more popular and which way should I merge it? So these things can be pretty useful. You can include all Wikis. You can also change the time frame. You can get statistics over a year now that was recently implemented before it was per month. And yeah, in live, these are two pages I'm comparing on meta.wikimedia.org. You can see that I'm looking at the daily statistics in a certain time frame, which you can change here. And I'm comparing these two pages called the coolest tool award page and a page called Request for New Languages. And so here you can see on which day, how many times those two pages were accessed. Then there's Quick Statements by Magnus. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I tried to access that earlier and it somehow didn't work for me when preparing this. So in theory, it's a powerful editor for Wikidata. You can use statements, labels, descriptions, and elices to add and remove them via rather simple text commands. And you can see simply by the numbers on Wikidata that it's pretty popular. As I said, I wasn't able to play with that yet myself, so I can only read this text for you right now. So you can prepare things already in a spreadsheet or a text editor to run several commands in a row, batch edits basically, semi-automatically. And there's also other tools like OpenRefine or the Disambiguitor, which also use this tool. So as it was down, I could only go to its help page and looked a little bit at the statements down here. I hope that one day I'm going to find time to try this myself. Let's see. Then for developers, an award was given to Media Wiki Code Search by Ledger KTM. Because once upon a time, there was, for example, a service by Google to search explicitly like public code, source code repositories. And we wanted to have that especially for Wikimedia code. So everything that's in Wikimedia Git, Garret, I don't think it supports stuff that are Wikimedia code repositories that are in GitHub or somewhere else. It's a pretty simple interface. You can see on the top, you can filter by categories in which code bases you're looking for a certain expression. Yeah, Garret, it says here at the bottom. And this is super easy to use, well, at least if you know a little bit of regular expressions or if you just want to enter the name of a function, for example. Because a great use case we actually have is when some function gets deprecated or then later on even removed in the Media Wiki core code base, of course, somebody needs to find and update all the extensions out there which might rely on that very function in the Media Wiki core code base. And this makes it way easier. Of course, you could also locally check out all the extension repositories and then grab and try to find that. But this makes it especially for most people, I guess, who don't have a complete checkout of all extensions and code repositories on their own computer to quickly use it on the internet online. I guess I don't need to show you how to enter a search string here. Still, if I, for example, enter getText, which would be a function name, you then get the results listed by repository. And then you could filter on the top if the server or the internet is fast enough. I might get back to you later. 7.1 out of 10 we awarded is the mobile area. There is a commons mobile app, which is also entirely run, managed, worked on by volunteers, like Josephine, Yuvi, Nishlihan, Vivek. It allows you to upload photos to Wikimedia Commons directly from your mobile phone or from your smartphone. And you can also, of course, add categories of you nearby missing images. So if you use your GPS, if you know your location, that can be helpful to find out which articles, for example, and on Wikimedia still lack images and view your contributions to commons in its own gallery. Those numbers are probably now outdated. But what is impressive to me is simply the large number of different people who have already contributed to the code base. Ha, still no results, OK.  But you can, oh, this just shows some of the images uploaded via it. But it's a pretty intuitive user interface. It's also interesting to see that, of course, it also makes uploading content a bit easier that might not be suitable for Wikimedia Commons, like, for example, your selfies of you and your friends. But I think that's also being worked on and better filtered nowadays, for example, by categorizing if this is a completely new user and these kinds of things on commons. Then the category newcomer is called NOA Upload Tool by Happe J. Sochmann. So this takes scientific open access articles out there and fetches the images included in them. And then anybody can help deciding if this is suitable when it comes to the content. I mean, the license is already pretty clear. But the content, if this could be helpful on Wikimedia Commons. So you go to the website, basically, you get a random image and you can help, or should this be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons to make it broader available, to make it more discoverable? It's beautiful because it also gets a bit more into open science. It's probably the most simple user interface in this collection here. And it does the attribution correctly. Randomized. That's probably also something. So I went to that tool and, as you can see, you get a random image. So the caption would be taken over. And you can click mark for upload or next image. To actually upload it, it's probably a bit small. You would have to log in, of course, first and authenticate. Then when it comes to outreach, more to social activities, there is a programs and events dashboard by Sage and others. So this is a bit more when it comes to the teaching parts, running workshops for, for example, editors, writers, uploading media. Or, for example, Wikiversity, which is another Wikimedia site, which has courses. And this helps you to get an idea how much outcome, how much effect your program has. And it's pretty useful and actually used by quite some event organizers out there. For example, by the Wikimedia chapters in quite some countries. You can create managed education programs. You, as I said, track some metrics. And it's been used for more than 100, or with more than 100,000 students and editors. Over a million articles since 2010. So this is a default view. You would have to look at it. You would have to look at it. So this is the default view you would end up with on the programs and events dashboard. And you can see here the campaigns on the left. For example, this was the art and feminism 2018 campaign. Related programs that were run. And for example, the number of articles, created, edited. And the number of editors here in the very end. So you get an idea how much actually outcome you have.  That was a logo we chose for the award. And it's basically the special or lifetime award or something like that. That's probably how you would translate it. Twinkle. It's also a JavaScript gadget by Azatot Yurt Amaltea, AdLight, MusicAnimal, Amory Meltzer. And this is when you're a bit more of an experienced, for example, Wikipedia user. It helps you a lot with maintenance tasks. Like dealing, reverting, vandalism, constructive edits. Which makes administrative tasks way easier. It's been around for 15 years. It has pretty good help. And to give you a simple idea, this would be the normal or nearly normal view. I think I also have some custom gadgets enabled on the Wikipedia page when you're logged in. And you can see up here, read, edit, view history, the watch list, star button. When I enable Twinkle, you see there's another drop down, which leads to, for example, the first link requests speedy deletion according to CSD. I should probably know what that means. Speedy deletion. And a few other options, like show most recent diff, unlink backlinks. A lot of functionality that is way easier to access and more common especially if you try to revert vandalism and watch pages. This is a photo of, at the end of that actual award ceremony of all the people being around. There were also definitely a few maintainers, developers, stewards of these code bases around. Not everybody was present at that conference, but we could actually hand out some awards, which were basically about, as I said earlier, appreciating all the code in between that might not be obvious to you. Sometimes it might not even be obvious to you that this is custom code or a gadget, not in core functionality added by a volunteer, because it is enabled by default and you just expect like, okay, this is probably part of the core software, but it's actually not. And of course also, you can also use these tools. So if anything was interesting here or if you have more curiosity, you will find links on META, Wikimedia.org on the Page Coolest Tool Award. If you're generally interested in the technical parts of it, not necessarily only as a user using these tools, I would recommend how to contribute on MediaWiki.org, not only as a user who is technically involved, but also other areas. For example, of course, editing, but also design, local user groups, outreach, other things. So these are probably only the credits, so I'm done. Thank you. Hello, hello. Thank you, Andre. So do we have any questions if you do raise your hands? I will hand you my microphone. Basically, I would even say feel free to ask anything. I might not know the answer. It's not that I'm actively working in all these tools or anything, but I can try to find out. Hi, dear. Thank you for your speech. Do you have a favorite tool for locations of articles? How to add them or edit them? A favorite tool for locations of articles. How to edit them? You can have locations for the images, but also add locations to articles on the other side, and I find it unhandy to always copy-paste a code with scale location and all that stuff, and I would also prefer there to have a tool where I could click on a map and say, okay, it's there. Maybe it's existing. That is a good question. So you basically go to an article and you hope for some button which probably opens a map, and then you say it's here on this map, and then you add it with one click of the coordinates to the article, I guess, right? I'm not sure myself. I would have to try to find out. Let me come back to you later, please. Any other questions? I don't think I see any, but so then again, thank you. Next time, please. Thank you.


I have a registered IQ of 179, but by itself it's useless, passion and commitment are more useful for learning 100%. Listen to someone with an IQ of 179. Passion and commitment is what you want. When I've worked with people, I don't look for someone with a higher IQ than someone else. I've managed people doing geophysics and I've worked with people through different projects, multiple different projects, personal, through different corporations and stuff like this. I've never looked for someone that's really intelligent to work with. You want to work with people, start businesses with people who have a passion and they're committed. That's it, right? And they have the skills you need, but you don't need them to be super intellectual to do a certain 99.99999% of the projects that you need to work on, right? That's what it is. There's a lot of super intelligent people with high IQs that are homeless because they're useless, right? They don't have passion, they don't have commitment, they don't have the ability to work with anyone else, right? Collaboration goes a long way. Your ability to collaborate with people and listen and get things done, but do it.


Last week, Eugenia Cooney announced that she's seeing a doctor and getting help and it's awesome. So in this video, since I know a lot, a lot of people struggle with eating disorders, we're going to talk about getting help and should we still be worried after we or someone we know gets help. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And real quick announcement, this video is actually part of a collaboration that I'm doing with my buddy Ryan from the channel Crimson Studios. He is in recovery from his own eating disorder of anorexia. So make sure you go check out his channel and his video on Eugenia Cooney. I actually did a clip over there for him about how people can support somebody in recovery, whether it's eating disorders, mental health addiction, whatever it is. All right. So make sure you check out his video, it'll be linked down in the description, pinned comment and up in the info card. All right. But yeah, anyways, let's get started. So the other day, Eugenia Cooney tweeted out that she was seeing a doctor and this comes on the heels of her making a video of a Kingdom Hearts cosplay, which had a lot of people talking, a lot of people worried as they are, right? And I understand that like her tweet said, please respect my wishes. And like something that I try to talk about a lot on my channel, especially when it comes to YouTubers in general, is like, we have to understand when we grow a following or even just me and you, like, but we have loved ones, right? Like a common thing that we do is say, don't worry about me. Don't worry about me. Don't talk about me. Like when I was dying in a hospital for my addiction, I kept telling people not to worry about me, right? And for me personally, and this isn't about Eugenia, this is about me personally, for me, something I came to realization later, and I'm wondering if you have to, is that like it's, it's not fair for me to tell people who love and care about me not to worry about me. You know what I mean?  But anyways, this video isn't even necessarily about Eugenia Cooney. I just want to give you some context so you can help yourself or potentially help a loved one, not only with an eating disorder, but addiction or mental health, like when it comes to recovery. So one of the common misconceptions about recovery or getting help is that it's this like this instant fix, okay? Like something that when I would teach my clients about their families was people have this perception that like going to get help, it's like fixing your car, right?  And that's not how it works. Like I remember when I got sober, when I got clean, I was actually crazier than when I was on drugs, right? Because those things were like actually calming me down, right? But it was killing me as well. But I got a whole lot worse before I got better. Like this is a process. This doesn't just fix somebody immediately. And that's why we need to keep taking care of ourselves. Now, something I will comment on based off of her tweet is the word voluntary. And again, this isn't about Eugenia. This is in my experience, my personal experience. So the first time I actually went to a treatment center, well, pretty much the only time. I went to a detox facility.  I'm going here voluntarily. So you need to treat me right.  And like what I noticed about myself as well as others, that shows like a level of ego. And typically not always, but typically that can mean, you know, a lack of readiness or willingness to change. Because in our brain, we think that we're not that bad. Like since we came in there voluntarily, it's not that bad. And in working in a drug and alcohol rehab for over three years, I saw a lot, a lot of people say this in treatment. Like I'm here voluntarily. I'm here voluntarily. Like even people in a drug court program are there voluntarily. They were given an option.  You know what I mean? So especially when it comes to our mental health recovery, no matter what kind of disorder or illness it is, we need to get humble, which is one of the hardest things. This is why so many people relapse, not just with addiction, but with other forms of mental illness, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, all sorts of things is a lack of willingness and humility. Okay. So every day, I have to remember that I have to keep working on this thing. I am no better than I am no less than anybody. I am a person with a sickness and I have to work on this constantly. It doesn't matter how I ended up where I was, whether it's voluntary or involuntarily, quote unquote, involuntarily, what matters is, is that I have a sickness and it is my responsibility that I need to take care of it. All right. But there are some things that I do in order to not only relapse like on alcohol or drugs, but to slip back in to a deep dark depression or my extreme, extreme anxiety. I've been diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder. And if I don't do what I'm supposed to do, then all these things can come back, right? Like something I try to teach people, even all of you, like I am not the word of God, right? I'm trying to give you tools so you can work on yourself. Like at any given moment, you know, I can make a few bad decisions. I live in Las Vegas and I can score some alcohol or drugs like that. And then what good am I to you anymore? Right? So I can't ask you to rely on me completely. I am just another sick person trying to stay well just like so many of you, but it takes a lot of work. Same thing with my anxiety and depression. There are many things that I do, which I try to teach you, right? I am now using better help online therapy. Okay? I have medications, not narcotic medications. I'm on Lexapro for symptoms of anxiety and depression, you know, meditation, writing, videos, talking to my support group. My mental health is so, so, so important to me because even if it's just anxiety or depression, like slipping back into that, I am no longer useful or as useful to my beautiful girlfriend Tristan, my little boy in the other room screaming, playing Fortnite while I'm trying to record this video. Right? And I'm not of use to all of you. So this is why I have to work on this. Now, don't get me wrong. Even with all the work that I put in, I still have bad days. I still have bad days, but something I've learned throughout my recovery is that bad days will pass. All right? So all I can do is go to my metaphorical toolbox of all the tools I've acquired over the years and try to work on these things again. All right? So that is my story and how I maintain my recovery from addiction, depression, anxiety, and being an all-around mess. But I actually wanted to bring a surprise guest to talk about his eating disorder, his signs of relapse, and it is none other than the guy I'm collabing with, Ryan from Crimson Studios. Hey, Chris. Thanks for having me. My name is Ryan and I run a drama social media channel called Crimson Studios, which makes me a perfectly qualified individual to talk about eating disorders. No, but in all seriousness, I have suffered from body dysmorphia and have dealt with anorexia and eating disorder for the majority of my adult life. And as exciting as it has been, there have been moments where I have relapsed. I have not always been able to keep my weight up. And there were multiple times where, in fact, I would recover and then at some point near in the future lose my progress. And this is something that a lot of people with eating disorders and other types of addictions go through. So Chris wanted me to talk about the three biggest signs of somebody going into relapse that you should watch out. One of the first ones and in specific to me, one of the biggest ones that I had to deal with was going back into my anorexic behaviors. I was going to therapy. I had been meeting with a personal trainer for many months. I was feeling good. I had gotten back into the gym. I was working out again and I was feeling pretty cocky about myself. And I just decided, you know, I don't need to go to therapy anymore. I don't need to talk to this person. She obviously doesn't know anything more than she can tell me and I'm paying her $60 an hour. So I'm really just wasting my money at this point. Big mistake as I found out later. What I noticed after I stopped going to therapy and other things is these behaviors began revamping themselves in my brain because I felt like I was getting better, which was really just myself lying to myself. I started going to the gym more and more and more often for longer and longer amounts of time. Little did I know it, but I was really redressing and not, not moving forward. Another sign that someone should look out for is developing the obsession with food and an obsession with weight, which is something I still deal with day to day. Like I constantly think about food at the time when I had started regressing and going into these extra exercises and all those things. This voice got louder and louder. I would constantly think about food more and wait more. I would weigh myself multiple times a week. I would constantly pinch my stomach. All of these things would actually lead to the biggest relapse moment. The biggest sign I can think of and one that really affected me was trouble feeding myself. I had gotten into a really good routine with eating. I had a regimen that I was on, but when I was in this regressive state, I didn't know it. I started counting my macros more carefully and all these things. And at the time, my family was planning a trip to go to London and visit my family overseas.  And when I had already quit therapy because I thought I didn't need it, I already began to exercise more and I was already becoming obsessive over my weight and what foods I was eating again, this was really the cherry on top. And when we went on this trip, not only did I just relapse, I didn't lose just one pound or two pounds. I ended up losing about 25 to 30 pounds in a matter of a few weeks. We would walk 10 miles a day. I wouldn't eat anything at all, at all. I remember walking through the airport and I could actually feel pain in my hip joints to recap. If you are seeing a regressive state, if the person that is dealing with this problem is feeling a little bit cocky, feeling like they don't need more help, they're feeling like they've gotten all the help that they can get from someone, I would really encourage them to keep seeking help, keep going to therapy. If they are starting to weigh themselves more, if they are starting to pinch their body or obsessively try to calculate food numbers, ease their signs that they could possibly be going into a relapse. And for me specifically, a really bad relapse. And I hope that this gives you some vision of what that looks like. So thank you, Chris. Sorry that was depressing. All right. Ryan, thank you so much for coming over and talking about relapse warning signs. It's very beneficial to have somebody who has personally gone through relapse talk about these things because I know thousands of you watching this video either struggle with an eating disorder or are in recovery. And to have a first person account of noticing what took us back to that behavior that led to the relapse is key. It is key for all forms of mental illness. All right. So what I want you to do down in the comments below, let me know what your relapse warning signs are when it comes to not taking care of what other mental health issues you might have. All right. But anyways, don't forget, this is a collab with Ryan from Crimson Studios. I did a guest clip over on his channel for his new Eugenia Cooney video. And it is basically about how loved ones or even us as a community can help somebody like Eugenia Cooney. All right. But anyways, anyways, I wish Eugenia all the best. And something I will comment on that I hope for is that she does keep an open dialogue about her recovery because something that all of us can do is empower others, encourage others and give others hope by sharing our own recovery experience. All right. But anyways, that's all I got for this video. If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up. If you're new, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and a huge, huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on Patreon. You're all amazing. And I just made a post because you all get first dibs on suggesting topics for my new book, Rewire Your Anxiety. All right. So go check that out. If you want to become a patron, click the top right there. Thanks again for watching. I'll see you next time.


Hello, my name is Craig Brownlee, Operations Manager here at CFA Headquarters. Today we're going to have a look at CFA's new heavy pumpers. These trucks have been built out of the CFA 350 firefighter growth program. So as part of the overall design and reviewing CFA's current heavy pumpers, we did a lot of consultation with firefighters in terms of how we could make improvements to our existing fleet to ensure that we had the best technology and the most efficient workflow possible as we go through this design. So we think we've got a really good outcome of that and that's due to the overwhelming support that we've had from across the state and feedback we receive from firefighters. So as the Operations Manager in charge of this program, I've to work with a lot of different departments in CFA to ensure we get the firetruck into service. So that includes our procurement department in terms of obtaining the equipment and getting it built into the vehicle design as well as our training department about development and then into the deployment of the vehicles. In this program we're doing, it's in two phases. One is a train the trainer. So we go with subject matter experts to the fire station for train the trainer and then they subsequently train the firefighters on each of the shifts in the station in the truck and how it works. So we think some of the things that people will be impressed with the truck is one is the new road rescue support equipment that's been put onto these vehicles. So it's a new area that CFA is going into to support the community at car accidents as well as EMR and the inclusion of battery technology. So this vehicle is the first vehicle that heavily goes into the use of batteries in replacement of petrol powered equipment. I'm going to take you through now and have a look at the specifications of these trucks. The first thing people notice when they see the new pamper is the solid red colour lock of doors. The choice in going to these doors was based out of research from Europe which indicates that from a public perception that the solid red colours give better visibility to fire trucks. So in terms of why we've chosen that and the solid red colour we're hoping that it will give better safety to our firefighters as well as the colouring that's been selected which is the brightest available reflective material. So at night time operations it improves safety to CFA firefighters. So some of the changes that we've made to the pamper include brand new BA seats for the cabin. So we've moved from two seats to three internal seats and they've moved to a vinyl. The vinyl seating is to improve cleanliness and ensuring that we can wipe down and keep the interior of the truck as clean as possible. As well as that we've also included a small drinks fridge under the third middle seat which gives the firefighters access to cool drinking water on those hot occasions that we needed. One of the improvements we've made is the 90 metre hose reel that's been put onto this truck. This provides better ergonomics, lower friction and removal and better ability for firefighters to lay the hose back onto the reel. The next change that we've made is the addition of a small locker at the front of the appliance which includes fuse removal equipment and cool chairs for firefighter rehabilitation. So additional resources that are now included in this truck as standard storage. The design of the Neaside One Locker has been significantly altered as well in terms of better workflow for firefighters as well as repositioning the equipment to include EMR equipment, a standard layout and ability for firefighters to access it. The inclusion of the BA Penagraph allows us to lift the equipment high in the vehicle but also to maintain ergonomics in access for firefighters. So other equipment we've included as standard storage on this truck is PFDs or personal flotation devices and attack and lay packs for use in high-rise and large industrial buildings. What we've been able to do in the redesign of the heavy pumper is to have a look at our storage and deployment arrangements for our 38mm hose. So what we've included onto this truck but we're also going to be rolling out across the fleet is the Cleveland Lay system. So that will go across all of our heavy pumpers and our medium pumpers in the next 12 months or so. This ability gives a lot better ergonomics and manoeuvrability to firefighters in the structural environment including in tight, confined spaces like stairwells. We've also had a look at our branches and we're moving to a system for firefighters to readily understand or know what pressure their branch is using when they've got it. So to do that we're colour-coding all of the handles on our branches. So blue indicates that it operates at five bar, black indicates it operates at seven bar and a purple branch indicates it operates at three bar. This is again, it will make it consistent for firefighters when they pick up a branch that they know exactly what pressure that it needs to flow at. We've also included the water level gauge for the tank on the side of the appliance as well. Generally this is provided the rear and is only visible by the pump operator. The heavy pump are 2017, it's on the side to give better visibility to all firefighters on the fire ground. There's been a few modifications in terms of the pump panel and its layout. Firstly we've worked in terms of the colouring and there's some slight changes to the colouring and this is to align this truck to colours currently in use within MFB. So for interoperability we've aligned the colouring system of our panel. We've also included a press squat mode to allow the truck to squat to a lower height to allow access to the ladder and suction hose when the pump's not engaged. We've also improved the governor arrangement and feedback we receive from the field is that the previous push button governor system was very difficult to operate and we've changed that to a rotary governor control which provides better dexterity and ability to adjust pump pressures by the firefighter. A firefighter workflow has also been thought about in the design of this pumper. So we've included the hydrant at the rear of the appliance. This allows firefighters to come around, collect the hydrant hose and the collector and go directly to the hydrant to get water into the truck as quickly and as efficiently as possible. In the redesign of this fire truck we've also been able to look at some of the equipment that we provide and we've been able to source a new ground monitor that actually increases safety for firefighters.  So in this locker where we see the most significant changes on this truck the first thing that we've included is battery operated hydraulic tools. These trucks have been set up for CFA's progression into road rescue support activities which will see primary access equipment provided for primary accidents to people involved in car accidents. So the hydraulic tools all battery operated have been included. So we've also looked at what's occurring across the fire industry and there's a significant increase in the use of battery tools. So we've included that in this appliance with the quipping of battery lighting. This gives you ability to remove generators, electrical leads and fuels from the appliance. These lighting systems can operate up to 24 hours and provide LED lighting to light up the scenes of car accidents, house fires and the like. Very efficient, very bright and reduces a lot of those trip hazards and fuel hazards that we've had previously. So other areas where we see battery technology coming into the fire service is within our positive pressure fans. In the past positive pressure fans have been run off petrol powered motors where this has moved into that battery power. That provides the advantage of not producing carbon monoxide which we're pumping into a building. This is a very efficient fan and has up to a 40 minute runtime off its batteries and it can also be run off 240 volt if required. To support all the batteries on the vehicle we've also included spares and we have a robust battery management process in place with the fire stations to ensure that we have enough batteries available to meet our operational needs. So one of the other areas where we see an increase in responses to is children locked in cars. To help with that we've included the big easy vehicle access kit which allows firefighters to get into vehicles without damaging windows and glass. So lighting has also been carefully considered on this pumper as well and we've moved to a LED lighting system which provides a wide coverage for nighttime operations. As well as that we've incorporated the lighting into each of the locker doors. So as soon as you open any of the lockers a strip light at the top will light up as well as lighting down each of the sides and that provides excellent lighting for all of the equipment stated within each of the lockers. There's also been some great research done by our team in driving that has indicated that by using a consistent height between our emergency lights on the front of the vehicle that we can line them up with the mirrors within different vehicles. So from sedans to four-wheel drives by positioning these lights as they are it allows us to get the emergency lights visible within most cars on the road either wing mirror or rear vision mirror. And that provides advantage of being visible to vehicles as we go to emergency responses. Hi I'm Matthew Burke stationed here at Altham CFA. I've been a part of the new heavy pumper rollout. We've been training on it quite heavily in the past three weeks approximately since it's been online. My favorite things about the truck have probably been the new pump governor layout on it the ease of use of it. The stowage on the truck across the layout of the whole truck where everything's been placed has been thought about and specifically designed for it. And also our new gear with the hydraulic battery operated equipment as well has been excellent to use.


Hi, I'm Brian Kappa. I'm a 10 times South African Motorcycling Champion. My family and I have chosen to live in Four Ways. There's some really great suburbs in our neighborhood. There's a lot of families living in the surrounding areas in places like Lonehill and Cedar Lakes. What draws people to Cedar Lakes is that it's so close to the Broadacre Shopping Centre, Cedar Square and Four Ways Life Hospital. Lonehill is a major draw card for many families. It's got some great smaller commercial centres and some fantastic schools like Crawford College. From an entertainment point of view, Montecacino really comes alive at night. There's so much on the go and there's an incredible energy in the area. Our family just loves the fast paced lifestyle that Four Ways brings. But honestly, the thing that attracted us most to this area was the active lifestyle that it offers. As a family, we've chosen to live in Four Ways because of the lifestyle and convenience. And this is our neighborhood.


Hello, everyone. I am here with a congressional candidate running in Nevada's second congressional district. His name is Clint Cobly and this is his second time running He shocked everyone by almost winning in that race and now he's back to win once and for all Clint Thank you so much for coming on the program Mike. I'm really glad you invited me. It's great to be here. Thank you Yes, you are running in a really interesting race So from what I understand there's three to four other opponents all corporate Democrats You are the only progressive and what's interesting is that you have this really unique appeal about you because you you were telling for Viewers telling me about he has this rural background And he's able to speak to voters that usually Progressives wouldn't be able to win over so tell us about yourself and why you think you came so close to winning I like it's a message. I think that you have that's really resonating Well part of it is my background in addition to experience, but I have a rural background I was born into a poor farm farm family in North Dakota and I went to a two-room country school My parents were first-generation Americans. We either raised our food or we had to hunt for it So I grew up in a gun culture and I understand, you know, the gun values of the people in rural Nevada and a lot of the other issues that go in rural Nevada whether it's water or it's public lands But having that rural background makes me, you know A safe candidate for people to talk to plus I worked for the Obama administration for almost eight years as a state director for the USDA So I interacted with all the tribes all the farmers and ranches across the state for almost eight years So I have a lot of professional experience And so I think I'm a pretty trusting individual like some people said I fit the profile really really well because we're Urban and progressive in the western part of the district and then all of the rest is rural and very conservative But haven't grown up in that culture. I can kind of bridge those gaps a little bit And I'm not I'm not so much of a threat or a danger to them I think that that's a really good way to describe it like you're a safe choice like for me if I were running in that area I wouldn't know how to talk to people who grew up with that gun culture. I'd come off as a progressive hippie So I mean you need someone who can really appeal to those types of people that you wouldn't otherwise be able to get So that's why I think it's such an interesting campaign and you know having worked for Obama You did kind of build up that infrastructure you have the connections and it's interesting So I'm curious because I've covered Nevada and politics and some primary races here And one thing that I have seen is that there's a lot of corruption.  So what has been the response to you? Is there this respect or do you feel as if there is this concerted effort to shut you down as we've seen with other Candidates like Amy Valada who've tried to run in Nevada before Well, I wouldn't say there's any concerted effort to shut me down in fact I think the party is very grateful that I'm running I haven't seen the level of support that I would like to see but part of that is due to you know the money that I didn't raise in my First election in 2018. I think the party is a newfound respect for me as the party chair said right after the 2018 election Clint thank you for your leadership and thank you for showing us that this race is finally Winnable so there's there's more support. I think on the grassroots level across the state even with the party I haven't had some you know strong anointments But I I've been endorsed by you know former senator Richard Bryan former Attorney General Frankie Sudele Papa and a lot of and a host of other people that have been involved in Nevada politics for a lot of years That's really interesting. I wanted to ask you a little bit more about the Democratic Party So assuming you're able to win this race and get elected So you're going up against the Republican incumbent. His name is Mark Amade. I think I'm butchering his name But that's okay because he's probably you know a ghoul But nonetheless, you know if you're able to get elected Especially now like just having come off of the Iowa caucuses and really seeing just a lack of trust and incompetence With the Democratic Party at a minimum How do you actually change the party from within electorally speaking? So I mean for example, you are kind of like this insurgent progressive candidate. How do you convince them? To support policies like Medicare for all if you're also trying to balance, you know being marginalized in Congress So let's say, you know You get a little bit too vocal in challenging the party establishment speaking out against any horror Nancy Pelosi And they want to take away committee appointments Like what is your strategy going in because this is something I always like to think about because I don't know like There's no really tried-and-true strategy. So I kind of like to pick the brains of everyone who's running Well part of my message Mike is the fact that I feel that Unbeholding to no one other than the voters of Nevada. I am a grassroots candidate. I am kind of a dark horse I'm not a complete outsider from the political party, but I really do want to go to Washington and You know get back to you know Good representation in government. I feel that's lacking in a lot of people in Nevada feel like All politicians lie or it's all partisan. It's all party politics and who's caring about us Who's doing anything about us in my message has been a little bit different I'm not, you know flipping my finger off to the state of the national party That's not it at all But when I go out and talk to people in the world or even here in urban areas in the western part of the state I I really impressed upon the fact that I need to that a representative has to say what they mean and mean what they say And you have to drop some of that partisan politics Because who's representing the people if you're just going to vote for the party 97 of the time The citizens are going to be just feel left out and I just really hammered that message over and over again That I'm going to mean what I say say what I mean I'm not beholden to anyone for example. I don't take money from corporate packs So I don't feel like I'm controlled by anyone when I get to Washington I'm going to have to carry that message and strike a good balance of Representing the people from the vat and I'm going to fight hard to do that because I feel that that's I have to go with the people that got me there Yeah, and I'm curious because you are kind of campaigning in all all all areas in this district And I know it's a very large district What is the response like when you talk to people Who aren't necessarily traditionally progressive and you pitch something like Medicare for all to them What is the response and how do you sell it to them? Well, first of all, I tell them that you know, let's let's breathe deep and just look at the facts and I'll talk to them how Rural health care has been affected, you know positively by the aca and then negatively by attacks on the aca and how you know Universal health care or Medicare for all could really help rural communities It could help the real clinics It could help the rural hospitals that are in danger of closing. We lost the rural hospital, you know, just several years ago So it's in their own best interest to sit down and talk I think some of the some of the other Officials in the state have done a really good job of being able to talk Sensibly to the opposition and the opposition has a lot of respect for them Senator Cortez masto is set a great example of being able to talk to the other side And for example when I worked for the usda 95 of the people that I had to represent and farmers and ranchers Were republicans, but they never once felt that I held it against them, you know politically or partisanship-wise I did my job and I think I've improved a lot of trust in me That you know, I will do my job. I will say what I mean mean what I say and I will listen to the voters I'm here to hear And I'm not going to talk down to them.  I do have problems with you know pay to play Having to get to Washington and then pay, you know Thousands of dollars to get on the committee. I know which committees I want to get on to help the people in nevada and I just feel that I have to make a stand on that and really I want to change politics I'm I'm tired of politics as usual in a lot of ways mike I think a lot of people feel marginalized or sick of politics And they're looking for someone with integrity and somebody who'll be different and I'm trying to cast that picture of me being different Yes, I'm progressive, but I'm not going to you know be taking the guns away. I'm not going to destroy healthcare You know, I'm not going to just you know run us in in the tremendously in the debt I think I've got a good plan on a pragmatic approaches and how to get to how to solve our issues So I think I can get a lot of trust on people on what I can what type of job I can do when I get to Washington Now when you say pragmatic approach that does have negative connotations in these days because usually when we hear democrats say pragmatic That necessarily uh, doesn't mean a good thing. It means we'll we'll work with republicans And that's usually code for we're going to roll over and die And so when you you bring up kathryn court has masked out And I kind of want to flip that previous question that I asked in terms of reaching out to more rural voters And I want to ask What do you think you as well as the party apparatus can do to reach out to the left because I actually covered a town hall A couple of years ago. It was actually sent to me from amy vilella who went on to run for congress She attended kathryn court has masked out town hall and asked about healthcare And then the response was to basically use these pro corporate talking points about protecting the aca really You know side stepping the issue of single payer whatsoever So in terms of like getting those rural voters in do you feel personally as if you have to compromise Your progressive values in order to win them over. Do you think that you actually can be Someone who is absolutely committed to you know single payer and will challenge that party establishment to actually fight for it I don't feel I have to compromise one damn bit And I'll tell you why one of the things that I've really really been Hammering lately is on mark newther king day the american college of physicians And it's 159 000 doctors voted for the single payer healthcare system for the first time in its history And I'm hammering that message that this is the future This is the future of ourselves our families and if our doctors are behind us then we have to see the writing on the wall so If if families and doctors want us then we have to take that I don't care what you want to call progressive or whatever I'm not going to run from it. I'm going to stand by because if I I think as they say your doctor knows best Yeah, that's that's a great way to put it and that really was a phenomenal endorsement for Medicare for all And we've kind of been fighting like this this almost narrative battle a constant wave of propaganda But yet that was the ultimate legitimization You know, I love the graphic that they put out as doctors we prescribe Medicare for all because Like it's just it's common sense. I feel like you can't argue against it at this point But yet we're still in this situation where We're so unique in that we're the only world country in the world That's you know developed that doesn't offer single-payer healthcare And we have a democratic party who is to the right of tories in the uk who are openly running against single-payer So a lot of people I think feel really demoralized currently and they feel as if you know, we we want this We see the the public opinion polls And it says we support Medicare for all in spite of all of this, you know Propaganda that's been non-stop from even Democrats not just corporate media So my question to you, you know With that in mind How do you win back people who are demoralized with the process especially coming out of Iowa because a lot of people You know, I give the sentiment that they just want to check out It's hopeless because no matter what we do we can never affect change. So I think really part of winning Um as progressives is to get out the vote get people who are disaffected non-voters to come back to the process What's your strategy for that? Well, first of all, so we've had a snafu Okay, we have nine months to recover and we've got a good message And we've got the american college of physician on our side when it comes to medicare for all So I think we just have to keep hammering on that message I really think that tide is going to change Mike when we go out there and we say look, this is what your doctors believe This is what we believe. I think it's going to be an easier sell It's going to get easier and easier as we go. I've seen the tide change slowly You know across the country as far as numbers, but when you throw in the acp And what how they validated, you know, medicare for all, I just think it's going to help turn the tide You know, it's just a matter of time, but I think we have to keep hammering on that I hammer on it almost every single day Yeah, that's great. So can we can we get you to commit to co-sponsoring? The medicare for all act by promilage. I apologize on day one if you're elected Absolutely That's awesome. That's what I like to hear. See a lot of people, um, you know, they can kind of gauge If a politician is like being upfront with them if they, um, use very direct words Like if you say absolutely that that tells me okay, sure But you know a typical politician who is not like grassroots who's taking money from special interests would probably say Well, Mike, you know, we're going to be weighing a lot of you know Legislation and I'm going to be looking at a lot of different things to co-sponsor and whatnot So it certainly will be on my plate and I think that people really respect like this authenticity that we're seeing from this new wave of progressives running from For congress, um, because it's like unique. We're in this anti establishment era And I love to see everyone who's running who are grassroots funded Just kind of like lean into that because I think that it's really there's value in just being a normal person and communicating to people That I'm one of you and you know, I'm not like these elites this Pete Buddha judge, you know These like elite educated people. I'm just the normal working class American So my question to you is what can we do to help you win? Um, and if you can make your last pitch to my viewers and tell us what we can do to support you, um feel free Well, first of all I want to say that I think people know when you're being sold down the river When a politician or want to be politicians ask the question and they don't answer it and then they He started in with well, I've got this and this and that and you know, it's it's the policy It's the procedures and things like this here. They're stonewalling I think what you have to do to gain people's trust is first Answer the damn question and then you can get into maybe explaining why you feel that way But you've got to do that You know, so what can you do for me?  You can read my platform You can see how I stand and of course you you can help a campaign in any ways you can endorse you can donate you can You know, let people know on your email list that I've read about this guy. I like this guy He seems like the real deal. He's got integrity. He means what he says. He says what he means This is a different type of guy. And so what if he's a progressive in a world state? Sooner or later, those world areas are going to need progressive Issues progressive programs to lift them up. Otherwise, they're going to continue to decline Yeah, and look like for for a lot of people who um, I mean, I just saw james carval on tv Talk about how we have to be more moderate and you know, Claire mcaskill knows to be more moderate because she ran in a red state and lost like what tells me that the tide is turning is that like In the state of west virginia in 2016 bernie sanders won all 55 counties So it's not like you're running this unwinnable campaign In you know rural areas like you almost won last time and I think that's what's so encouraging is that like You don't have to compromise your message You can run unapologetically on progressive issues like medicare for all and that can actually resonate with people And I think that people are beginning to realize the power that they have and you know, uh fueling these types of grassroots campaigns So thank you so much for running for congress. We'll be watching very closely because I think you can take this Okay, well mike, I think it's important that you know, you stand up for what you believe in You stand up for the people that are behind you and the second you don't they're gonna know that so Say what you mean and mean what you say and stick to your guns and stand up. Yeah, I like it We'll flip this seat blue. Thank you so much for coming on the program cleanse Mike, thank you very much. I look forward to talking with you again

Abstract background rice is highly sensitive to drought and the effect of drought may vary with the different genotypes and development stages. To better understand how rice plants respond to drought, researchers used genome-wide gene expression profiling to identify genes that are differentially expressed when exposed to drought stress. They found that many of the genes that are affected by drought are regulated in a specific tissue or developmental stage. Additionally, they discovered a CIS element containing a special CGCG box that is over-represented in the upstream regions of 55 common induced genes. This element may play an important role in rice plants' response to drought conditions. This article was authored by Fou Bining, Zhu Linghua, Zhao Xiuqin, and others.
