I'm going to say this, that when you're truthful and honest with yourself, when you don't lie to yourself, then you don't lie to the Creator or God, and then you don't lie to people when you talk to them. And when you walk like this, when you're truthful and honest with yourself, people will trust you because you have to earn trust, and this is how trust comes back. But yet each individual has to make this change. Nobody could do it for you. Only you could do this because nobody could walk in your shoes but you. So it's up to this two-legged earth man, human being, to make a change. And when they put us under democracy and taxation, it's an IME system. Why in these big cities people or neighbors don't even know their neighbor's name. That's an IME system. So it's time for truth and like this, and when these red nations hear everything as we and us, you always thought of somebody else. So by being under this system that they put us under, if you're going to think of others, think of our grandmother earth, that we walk on every day, time to defend her and like this. But again, each individual has to do this. Nobody could do it for you. So it's time for truth now and like this. It's time to heal our grandmother and like this. But it's up to us to do this. And then it's time to look at each other at your heart, not the color of your skin or like that. So these kind of things I was told to remind the world when we started. So like I said, just a 253rd time, 11 of them was in Europe. We went to Europe last summer, eight of them in Norway, one in Stockholm, Sweden, Copenhagen, Denmark and London, England. So they heard it over there, part of it heard it over there. The same team, what I'm telling you here. But we're told to do this with truth, no more assumptions and like that, that this book came out in 2016, almost three years now, coming, almost three years now, coming. So some of you might have read it or like that. This is where we ask, if you have any questions pertaining to a book or the family or anything like that, now is the time to ask and like this and we'll answer. So in our culture, our language, our nation, when we say, Opila, it means the crazy horse family thanks you. So thank you this evening for listening to the family and you guys all have a safe journey home and like this, but it's time for questions. So if you have any questions, it's time to ask. Yes. Are you afraid of, because we all know the U.S. government doesn't keep the treaties, are you afraid of this court case that they might find a way? I mean, when this country declared war on the Lakota Nation under international laws, when two countries, one declared war on the other one, all treaties, agreements, anything made between those two countries become null and void in a court of law. So when they declared a war on our people, everything that the government made, these treaties and like this, are no good. So we already won our case against the Harnab Buying Company. And now it's our nation or anybody of these red nations that have been claiming my family and grandfather, now it's time to show your proof. And this is laws that this country made. And coming from a federal agency, as truth, we could say we're the most regulated people on this earth. Because we live by federal, state, tribal, county and city laws that apply to us every day. So when I said that in Oklahoma, this elder native man was sitting in the front, he raised his hand. He said, me, he said, I live by six laws. Because I also live by my old ladies' law too. So I'm more regulated than you. And like that. But in our culture, humor is medicine. And when you laugh, there's no stress. It's good medicine. But these are laws that they taught us, put us under. We live by, if we break it, you're incarcerated. So these laws apply to them also, not just us. We're not separate. Like this. So they're going to get tested. This government, yes. Your grandfather's name, Crazy Horse, came from his family. Why was he called Crazy Horse? Okay, this is what the public didn't know. The name Crazy Horse is our family name. Our family name, that's in our family. Representing the name. The grandfather had at first, he was the first Crazy Horse, 1700 to 1825. The father carried it from 1825 to 1858, he was the second Crazy Horse. What the world all knows is the warrior, 1858 to 1877, when he got assassinated. But under our traditional laws, when he got assassinated, he couldn't pass a name on. Because he just had a daughter that was three years old when she left for the other side. So when Alakota can pass his name on under traditional law, the name comes back to the parents. 1877, that's his father was here at that time, so he got his name back. So he handed it back into the family where today a grandson in our family carries the name. One of my younger brothers is Crazy Horse for the Crazy Horse family. So as truth, as long as the Crazy Horse family is here, Crazy Horse is alive and well in our family. And we're not like Europeans where you use one name and you use it for hundreds of years. Yeah, and also we don't use greats in front of our grandfathers or grandsons or like this, our grandchildren. That's European. You're either a grandfather or a grandson or a grandmother or a granddaughter like that. Yes. Can you say where the origin of the name of the Crazy Horse family? By the grandfather. He was the first to carry it. So how he got the name is what you're asking? Yes. His horse was like how he was. He was fearless. In battle, he wanted to be the first one there and like this. And his horse was the same way. But his horse was like a big dog. He was protective. Nobody could get close to him. He'll get in between him and like this. And nobody could ride him on the Ecamp. And in battle, you'll jump off a cliff. You'll jump off a cliff. And like this, his horse was just like how he was. Why he was named Crazy Horse. And that's how the name came. I mean the original. Yes. That's the original name. How he got it. So in our culture, there could be 10 brothers and sisters. They could all have a different kid name and also a different adult name.  Because we're not European. Yeah. I have a linguistics question. So I know that each tribe has a different language. So what my question is, when they had to trade, how would they communicate? Was there one national tribe's language? When just the Red Nations were here, before anybody came to this continent, our universal language was Hand Talk. Oh, okay. Okay. We all talked with our hands. We motioned. So there could be all these different dialects, but they all used this as our universal language of these Red Nations. Yeah. Yes. Yes. More than 50 years ago, when I was a boy, my family went camping out west from Ohio. And we visited Mount Rushmore, but we were all more drawn to crazy horse under construction. And you could see this is the arm. This is where the horse will be. There was a hole through just barely. And I haven't been back since. The space is there. His arm is getting more detailed. The head of the horse is starting to take shape and like that. I mean, Mount Rushmore fits on my grandfather's cheek right here. So you know how big that sculpture is. That's the correct perspective. Yes. Yes. And like that. Yeah. Yeah. That lady back there asked. Oh, thank you. Was crazy horse ever considered by the people to be a holy man? All our people were spiritual people. We're a spiritual nation. So I don't know if we're out of those bookmarker things. A spiritual nation could never be defeated. So this is what our nation of Lakota, Dakota, Nakota were all spiritual people. So that stuff like that, Hollywood, you know, where there's a menace man. There's a holy man. There's a, yeah, like this. That's not how it was just for our nation. There was a way of living life 24, 7, 365 days a year. It wasn't a religion or anything. It was a way of living life. And this is how we walked on this earth without the 70 English words. And like that, you know, so everybody was like that. Yes. Earlier about who did me, about it being originally battled. But most of us in the history know that I was a massacre. I read somewhere that the soldiers that were awarded medals, they're being taken back. That's what they're asking now. But under the United States history, they called it a battle. You know, and then like Rotten and Fetterman fights, which were battles, they called it a massacre. Because, yeah, you know, because there were soldiers. They had guns, they had sabers, they had rifles, they had artillery, and they were trained to fight. And when they lost, they called it a massacre. And like this. So a lot of corrections for our nation is coming. And like this. Yes. Huh? Do you have the books here? Yes, up here. So when we're done, and we'll sign them when we're done. And like that. So, yes. We were at the Crazy Horse Monument. Yeah. And we learned a lot. One of the things that we had heard is that not all, that there's some criticism of Native peoples to have this monument, the way it is to comment about it. That's assumption. All the books written say he's no glala. That's not what he is. They didn't know that Kozak met with our family because he was supposed to tell nobody. And then when our family was in Haiti, so 2001, now we could tell the truth of why, how that amount came to be. And like this. Yeah, so I have a shirt like that too. Crazy Horse Monument. Yes. So it sounds like this is taking a very long time. How difficult is it for you? Waiting for...  So we have to learn how to wait, call patients. They were patient for 124 years. So we just have to, but they can't stop truth. Truth is going to come, come out no matter what. Yes. What's the stress level like in your free-goal family while you were in Haiti?  When you know the truth, you know everything else is assumption. Let's see how wild they get with the stories and like this.  Where now, show me your proof. What you're saying, and like this. When the real family stood up and like this. So I mean, it's, yeah. And this is where, because we were told to do this with truth. That as truth, a second ago is already in the past. You can't turn time back because it already happened. And this is where what we could control is now in the future, is what we can control. So this two-layered earth man, human being, now it's time to, now and the future. Think of that and like this. Because the second ago is already in the past and like that. Oh, okay. So this is where I would say that under democracy and taxation that they put our nation. If you think you own something, land or whatever, try not paying your taxes for one year. They'll come and foreclose you and give you somebody that will pay these taxes. So as truth under democracy and taxation, you don't own nothing. As truth. Like this. But I guess we only have 15 minutes left, so I guess that was the last question. But it's time to get books and sign. And we also do sometimes, I mean, we're willing to take pictures and like this and stuff. But also this world when they talk, they sometimes ask us about DNA. So when the Smithsonian returned some hares, I was taken in 1890 from Sydney Bowl when they returned it to his grandson. They took this hair to Copenhagen, Denmark, to one of the leading DNA experts of the world. And when they did the DNA on that hair and did his grandson's DNA, it matched. That was his grandfather's hair. But this person that did the DNA, he said, I did the DNA of this world. And the Asian, the African and the Caucasians all came from Europe, their DNA. These red nations here, their DNA is unique because you can't find it anywhere in this world of where they're at today. So when I heard my grandfather say we walked with the dinosaurs, they didn't lie to me. That's how long our people have been here, and like this. But with the exception of two tribes, their DNA has some Asian DNA in it, and that were the Hopi and Apache. So they're the ones that came across the Bering Strait. And up there, there's the same DNA of the Apaches up there in Alaska and like that. But this is a leading expert, one of the leading experts of the world of doing DNA. But you do DNA when you don't know who you are. But when you know who you are, you could prove it under the federal law and like this.  But when they don't know that's when they do these DNAs. But I guess, so thank you very much for listening to us. Thank you for coming.


So far I've been extremely impressed with the ANA here. They're very motivated. They go out with trolls all the time They took over This is their PB now, so I was definitely hoping we'd hand it over to them. They're standing all the posts They do a good job of it. They're very vigilant We let them lead a lot of the trolls. They've learned very well from the brains they've been with. They're always out there gathering wood, chopping wood, getting that ready for dinner and stuff and for Just to keep their rooms heated since it's winter Post they have a written-out schedule just like us that they go by they have an SOT just like us They do that all day all night I seem to have weapons maintenance a lot. They have some of the cleanest weapons that I've ever seen. I've never seen a saw that clean, for example


Hi, today we will be learning about diodes. In a nutshell, diodes control the direction of electric current flow. Just like a one-way lane directs the flow of traffic by restricting it in one direction, diodes do restrict and control the direction of electric current flow in one singular direction. Now diodes like these are made out of semiconductors that power transistors and are found inside the device that you are watching this video on. Now multiple different types of diodes exist, all the way from Zener diodes to rectifier diodes to even LED's light emitting diodes that are found in our modern lights. Now we will be talking about the most basic general purpose signal diode for this video. Now like I mentioned before, think of diodes as a one-way lane for electricity. If we apply a positive voltage to the diode, it becomes a conductor of electricity and the technical term for this state is called forward biased. Conversely, if we apply a negative voltage to our diode, it will act like an insulator or like an open circuit. This state is called a reverse biased state. The circuit diagram symbols for diodes look something like this. Now as you can see there are only two terminals for the diode which makes it incredibly easy to wire. The flat side of the triangle that you can see here is called the anode and the pointy side of the triangle here is called the cathode. Looking at a physical diode, we can see a white line towards one terminal of the diode. This represents the cathode. Current flows in the direction of the triangle that means it flows from the anode to the cathode. But do note this is conventional current flow, not the actual electron flow of electricity. Let's quickly do a demo to understand how a diode can work. Okay so here we have our demo circuit. As you can see this is our load, we'll be using a simple LED. Now an LED is a light emitting diode so in this certain situation we don't need a diode but in case you use something else like a motor or some other electronic device then we would need a diode to make sure the current flows in the correct direction. Now we also have a resistor that suggests to limit the current because in our circuit we'll be using an LED but again the load or the electronics that we're driving can be substituted with the resistor and the load as per the electronics that you're trying to drive. The diode is here just to show the direction of the current. So as you can see in conventional flow the current will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal so it'll flow in this clockwise direction as you can see represented by these irons here. I stands for current that's the symbol for current. So let's go ahead and just do the quick test demo. Here I have an Arduino, here I have a diode, here I have a resistor and here I have my LED circuit here. So I'm going to wire it up and test it out. And as you can see as soon as we power it on the light turns on. Now if you flip the diode you'll see that the light will not stay on. So here's the diode I'm going to flip it around here and as you can see I've flipped it now I'm going to plug it back in and after plugging everything in the light is off and the real world diodes aren't perfect. In the forward bias position that means when they're conducting electricity they will incur a slight power loss because they aren't perfect conductors and have a little bit of internal resistance. Similarly in the reverse bias position that means when they're acting like insulators of electricity there will be a little bit of voltage leak because these again aren't perfect insulators. We can understand this behavior a little bit better using the voltage current relationship graph. Looking closely at this graph we can see a spike at the end of the reverse bias state in this graph. This is called a breakdown period and when too much negative voltage is applied the diode will break down and fail and become a regular conductor. This graph also shows us that the diode has something called a forward voltage. This is the bare minimum of positive voltage required for the diode to turn on and become a conductor. Lastly let's talk about some of the use cases of diodes. The first use case for diode is as a rectifier. Now rectifiers convert the common household AC voltage into DC voltage which is what most appliances use. By just using a simple diode we can cut out all the negative parts of the signal of an AC voltage and convert it into a DC voltage using a technique called half wave rectifying. Alternatively by using four diodes in this configuration here we can create something called full rectifier which converts AC voltage into DC voltage like this. Now the second use case of a diode is protecting against reverse current. Now imagine another appliance. You want to protect against the user installing the batteries upside down that means instead of installing the batteries positive or negative they install it the other way around from negative to positive. By adding a simple diode we can make sure that the electronic device doesn't get spoiled. In a similar manner the diode can also be used in a flyback diode configuration where a diode is attached to an electric motor so when you turn off the electric motor the electric motor doesn't turn into a generator and fry any of the electronics by providing a voltage back into your electronic main board. Thirdly diodes can be used to emulate logic gates. By wiring them up like this diodes can emulate both AND gates and OR gates. I hope this video was helpful.

Thanks for watching.


Next question is from John Alva seven to build the business of mine pump Were there any hard compromises you as a team had to make if so What was the hardest to do for the better of the business? Yeah, I had to like we had to know Justin was gonna eat all the cheese in the studio. Yeah, that's mine No, that's not you know, um, this is a tough question because I don't know if we've had any hard Compromises I think they've all been pretty easy. There's definitely compromises, but they're not We haven't a fight, you know, I had to fight or argue right over them But I think you know Recognizing that it's you can't do everything and that other people are better suited for other things in the business I think that's an important thing to understand for all partners and I know we're pretty good about that I don't know if that was a hard compromise. It was a hard compromise at first There was growing pains where we went through letting go stuff Doug still struggles with it today I think that we all we all tend to and we did a lot I think at the very beginning we wanted to do everything together. We all we all got together We all liked each other so much and we all respected each other as leaders themselves And so every decision made in the business We felt the need that you know, you want to bring your partners in and they need to make that decision with you and I think everybody was a little reluctant to just take charge of an area and just make the decision for the company and so We probably had I would say about a six month to a year there Where we we kind of were stagnant because we were not allowing each other to kind of disperse and get things done and just Not worry about trying to bring involve everybody with every decision. So there was some growing pains there I had to compromise. I felt a little bit at the beginning But I look back now and I think it was that one of the best things that ever that happened to me was I struggled with not having kids at the beginning and The this like nine to two schedule that we had like structured So the guys could be be home with their kids and do the things that were very very important to them Which was family and I was in like let's scale this thing mode and let's spend the night and park our tents out at The studio and not leave until it's at a certain level So I had to and which it wasn't necessary for us to do that But it was it was something that I was used to because I'm not an organized person So my way of success in the past was just get after it just be so focused on it That's all you think about 24 7 and you'll eventually get all the things you need to get done But what it really forced me to do was become better organized better Efficient with my time that we had this time together that I had due to get it done And and then now looking back now that I have a son It was the best thing that we ever did because I value that time the same way that these guys value that time And so it felt like a compromise and a struggle for me Early on but because we got through it and figured it out. It was one of the best things that we ever did Yeah, you know the reason why I have a tough time with it saying hard compromise I think like hard compromise would be all of us like no, it's got to be this way No, it's got to be that somebody still like salty about it today. Yeah, I don't think anybody No, I didn't you know that didn't seem like it was a hard compromise because you didn't like you wasn't like something that you Were yelling and mad about you know, we we all and that's probably because we're older I would say I could imagine if we were younger and we started mine pump this this would have been a boy This would have been I mean, I still think we would have worked through it But I think there probably would have been a one or two fist fights You know or something like that, you know throwing something but But now you mean the hardest had to been the dividing and conquering like probably I can agree I really only think in the last year so we're gonna work mine pump is five and a half years old now Right, and it's only been maybe a year year and a half tops I would say we really have all kind of fallen into our When we built this we didn't have we didn't sit down and have this like you're this position You're that position these are your job titles and probably an CEO outside looking in would think that it was gonna fall apart for Those reasons because we didn't do that But we let it nap we let we allowed the natural growth and allowed everyone to kind of naturally fall into Their strengths and it ended up working out but there was there was that at the beginning I think there was that You know oh Sal can just go handle that and he'll make the decision for us and I'm not gonna question it I don't I would trust him to do that Justin same thing Doug and myself But at the beginning we had this thing where it was like every guy was a counsel Yeah, every every oh my god I remember those days like vividly or we'd bring something in and then we'd have this round robin discussion It would be hours long and heated back and forth back and forth, and then it would just be like it would stall Whatever that was that we're trying to actually do all right. We'll get the blue dumbbells So stupid yeah, but you know at the same time we valued everybody's opinion So it was like I did want to bring it to the group everybody had that sense You know and that's a really believe it or not I'm we're acting like we're down playing how much of a compromise that is but that takes a lot of I don't know if that would have been able to if we would have been able to do that in our 20s And that takes a lot of trust in your partners to be able to just walk away from your you know This is everybody's baby here, right? There's four of us that created this from nothing. It's everyone's child So to think that there's a part of raising this child that the other three guys has like got to a point We're just like oh yeah, Adam you go ahead and make the decision for how the kid is going to learn this or Sal You go ahead and decide what is his moral fabric is going to be about oh Justin You go ahead and decide what sports he's into or I mean literally that's what we've done with his business And that's a big compromise to allow each other to do that and we worked our way through it I think really nice and it didn't take that long to do it, but it was it was a struggle at the beginning I think yeah, yeah, and you know There's been there's been times when we've thought about whether or not we should express a particular opinion or we should you Know talk about a particular thing, you know and at the end of the day The one thing I think we've never had to compromise on is these these core values and one of them is just maintaining Our integrity at all costs meaning okay, if we believe something and we say it and We're against everybody else. This was early days of mind pump not so much now But early days there was a lot of stuff we said that That wasn't widely accepted in the fitness space for example, and it was a risky It was risky to come out and say no, that's all wrong.  Here's the deal We were no we were no buddies when we first came out But one thing that we don't compromise is we're willing to to take it all down if we have to We're not gonna compromise on on you know what we believe to be true And I think that's another I think that's what makes the other compromise is possible You know if we didn't have a core like like there's certain things that I know where you guys What you guys would do and I know you guys Value for example integrity as one of those top things that makes other compromises easy because there's a solid base You know I'm saying true. I think that's an important thing to have about that base


She's had bigger and better than me. She hasn't told me this, but I know I'm almost positive Devin's had bigger, better dicks than mine.  You kidding me?    Of course it makes us insecure. That's another reason why men of value don't commit to women with high body counts. It's because we know the more cocks that have been in you, the more huge cocks that have been in you. It's just mathematical. Devin slept with a lot of guys, gentlemen. Devin has a high body count.


Okay, welcome everyone to Jenkins Docs Office Hours, EUEUS edition. It is the first edition of 2023. So happy new year to everyone. So happy to have you joining us again today and I hope the new year was wonderful for you as well. Today we've got some action items. Still talking about the Docs mailing list being archived and some blog posts that were recently published. Just a quick check on pipeline Docker plugin deprecation. There is another topic of WMI Windows agents deprecation that Mark wanted to share and just talk about when we get to that point. This was an action item but I've changed it to a regular item of archiving the website. Tickets that are on JIRA. So I've gone through the list and there are some that still just need to be discussed. We do have the next LTS change log and upgrade guide submitted as a pull request to check out as well as the web components that have been building lately and how they're actually in place now. Pull request backlog, quick note and the December newsletter which we've been talking about and will be being published soon. So anything else that I missed here or any other items that we want to add on? No? All right then. So first thing on the list, archiving the Docs mailing list and switching to community.jankins.io for the Docs SIG mailing list. This is something that I'll be working on with Mark and we'll start working on that shortly, sometime this month to get at least going on that and more details to come. And then the blog post I wanted to share. So we previously had Basil, pro and John Mark Macin's blog post in December for Jenkins plugin development requiring Java 11 and the Google summer of code mentorship, respectively. Quick note on Google summer of code mentorship. We're actually at 50 to 70 percent mentorship right now. It's a wonderful change from the last time we met. So a lot of people have stepped up and signed up to be mentors. Thank you to all of the people that have inquired, signed up, volunteered, everything. Can't do it without you. And people have already started submitting new author files and everything which is great. So really just excited to see all the new contributors joining up and mentors wanting to help. And then most recently Bruno O'Rochten's blog post on running your Jenkins agent as a service. This was just published last week. But it's a great overview tutorial of how you would create a new Jenkins node and run your Jenkins data service as the title says. Great instructions, a very nice personal field to it and personal examples. And yeah, Bruno, is there anything you'd like to share about the blog post or highlight on here or anything? Yes, first of all, thanks a lot for your help in publishing this blog post. And I think we have to know that this is not the recommended way of creating an agent. I guess there are some better ways with SSH or something like that. So this can be done more. Could you tell us more about that? So the technique is valid. There are inbound agents like this one is describing and outbound agents. Inbound agents, the benefit of an inbound agent is the agent's own system controls the start and stop of that agent. Right. So if you've got someone who's donating capacity, an inbound agent is a perfect way to do it. And the Jenkins project has a thing called the swarm plugin that sort of makes that even systematic where you could have a group of 20 or 30 people who donate sporadically their capacity. Oh, I'm going home for the night. I'm going to turn on the swarm agent. You can use my computer overnight. And that's an inbound agent, very, very good use case. The other use case, the outbound agent use case is it allows the controller to decide when it starts and stops the agent. And so it just depends where you want the control to be. Many Windows users, for example, choose to use an inbound agent because they need a Windows desktop. And if they need a Windows desktop, it's really tough from the outside of a Windows machine to log in remotely to the Windows machine and start the desktop. That's really done by a user on the desktop itself. So inbound agent works really well for Windows agents that need control of a desktop or for people who want to donate capacity. Outbound agent for, oh, I've got a cloud. I want the cloud to do the work for me. We would use an outbound agent there. Oh, thank you. It's so much clearer now that you explained it all. And I was thinking of another use case, it's when you are sometimes behind a firewall or something, you have to initiate from the inside of the company to the outside. Right, right. And that's a good one where you might say, oh, I want to donate an executor to a system that is global. There's something sitting on the public internet, the controller's on the public internet, but I want to donate resources that are inside my private network that public internet based controller correctly cannot see inside your private internet. So that's a really good use case for an inbound agent. Thank you. Thank you very much, Mark. Wonderful explanation. And Bruno, again, I super appreciate the post itself and additional insight that you also have. So this is wonderful. Thank you so much for going through and creating this. And what a great addition. And thank you, Mark. Okay, great. So next on the list is the Pipeline Docker plugin and potential future deprecation. It's very widely used and this needs a lot of discussion to determine what that effect's going to look like if and when it is deprecated. So this needs to be discussed and we need to find out just, you know, what kind of far reaching effects this could have so we can make sure to try and avoid those and just resolve everything properly. So TBD. Now, the plugin is up for adoption. And so that means that the current maintainers have said, look, this is not high on our list of maintenance. And so but it is not deprecated. And the challenge for us in the docs team is if it were to be deprecated, many of the tutorials that we have no longer work, many of the big documentation flows that we have of this is how you work with Docker don't work. And in that case, then we need a better way to do it. But I think the reality is that workflow is is so common that it won't be deprecated but there may be changes to that plugin to make it so that the less attractive pieces of it are somehow disabled or or removed because there's there's the simple way that the tutorials use. And the simple way works. And the maintainers of the previous maintainers of the plugin were willing to support that simple use. There are complicated and exotic use cases that the maintainer the previous maintainers say absolutely not I am unwilling to support that sort of strange use case and and the challenge is how do we get people to stay away from the strange ones and stay in the nice mainstream ones. We've we've taught them the mainstream ones in the tutorial, but we haven't we haven't limited the use of the plugin to only those mainstream really well defined cases. Yeah, I discovered it too late last year. Right, right, exactly. And Bruno, this you are a great example of a user in exactly that case where, hey, started down the well defined path, but then had the unfortunate privilege of discovering. Oh, there's this dark corner that I should have stayed out of. Gotcha. And, and there's not really a way to put like horse blinders so to speak on people so that they don't see those. Well, there is but it involves there there is the technique though is you split the plugin into two parts. The good parts the parts you want to preserve you you leave untouched, etc. The bad parts you mark as deprecated, and you deprecate the plugin that you just spun out brand new and say this plugin is deprecated switch to this other one. But but that's a lot more involved and requires serious development effort on the plugin to do that kind of a partitioning. Yep. Yeah, that sounds like a little bit more work. I'm sure. Well, thank you, Mark for explaining clarifying that that helps a lot. And I'm now more up to speed on that. Thank you. And then next up on the list mark is the WMI windows agents deprecation. So would you like to share what this one is about? What's going on here? Yeah, so the the story here is is there's a there's a concept in Jenkins of well, the history of Jenkins is that it started as an a monolithic application with optional plugins. But there were certain things that were inside the core that ultimately the developers of it realized this doesn't belong in core. It needs to be a plugin. And for for example, one of those was how do I start an agent on a Windows computer? Originally, that was inside core. It was a core function. You couldn't opt out of it. You couldn't remove it. It was always there. And that's unhealthy. So early on in the Jenkins lifecycle about Jenkins one dot 400 or one dot 500, that was split out from Jenkins core to be a separate plugin. Good thing, right? But that's healthy. However, any plugin that was written to depend on a Jenkins version before the split might have expected those Java classes to still be there. And thus, there is this implied dependency that is created, because the plugin says the controller correctly says, I can't promise that you don't depend on some API that was in this plugin that was in this component that's now split to a plugin. In this WMI Windows agents case, the split was fairly early in Jenkins lifecycle, 400 to 500. And there are over 300 plugins that depend on a Jenkins version earlier than that, and thus have an implied dependency on this WMI agents. With that implied dependency, it means they can't get rid of this deprecated plugin. And that's not a great experience for them. However, Jesse Glick did a little bit of investigation and realized, in this specific case, the implied dependency is actually misleading. There are only two plugins in those 300 that really depend on the plugin. All the others, it's in fact, not a dependency. So he suggested a very much more lightweight of a technique than update all 300 plugins. His suggestion is, look, let's fix Jenkins core so that this particular thing is not listed as a source of implied dependencies. Now it needs a lot of testing. I've got to do some better pull requests, etc. But the challenge is the concepts, and maybe Kevin, I'm going to put a link to the bug report where the concepts are described because I spent the time to describe the concepts in a bug report. And maybe if you can open that bug report, what this gives is a tutorial on, okay, what does deprecation mean? And why is this specific plugin deprecated? So why is technical reasons, blah, blah, blah. What's an implied dependency? That's what I described earlier. Why does it exist? Again, that's what I described earlier. Hey, it was split out of Jenkins core in 1.547. That's a long time ago, right? I mean, we're now at 2.385 with about one release a week. So we are a long ways since 1.547. But that implied dependency is there. And then now the next piece is, okay, how do you remove it? Well, there are two ways. One is you update the plugin that has the implied dependency to depend on a newer Jenkins version. That guarantees then there's no dependency. However, in this case, there are over 300. So that's a lot. The reason this is relevant for the bigger picture is because there are some other plugins like this that were split out. One in particularly Oracle JDK installer plugin that may in the future be deprecated. And it would have this same kind of pattern. So we may choose, we may choose to document this thing a little wider. I don't know. It's still a thought process. Any questions about what I just described? No, that's pretty clear for kind of a high level overview, I think. And the bugs there, the bug issues there, I can read through that and get some more sense of it. But yeah. And I thought, my main question was going to be, is it just kind of, if you modernize and improve the plugin like we have in the tutorial, that should be enough to remove that dependency at this point? Because it's going to update it to the latest version of Jenkins. It is. And that was Jesse Glick's point. He said, hey, systematically for high volume plugins, we should be updating their dependencies anyway. But then, but his point was of this set of 300 plus, only about 15 of them have more than 2000 installations. And in a system like Jenkins where there are 300,000 controllers, if you're only installed on 2000 of them, you're actually a very small subset of the total Jenkins community. Right. Got it. Okay. And then would there be something coming up like potentially a blog post to share that or? So if the change that Jesse's suggested is part of, if I can get it through and it's ultimately accepted, then what we will do is in the LTS that delivers that, we'll do an upgrade guide entry that says, if you're running one of these two or three plugins, it's actually two right now, you must remove them. Sorry, or you must yourself keep this plugin installed because we're not going to take care of it for you. And that will work. They could do it. And it's not actually that painful. So it's just a matter of gotta be sure that I've done through the right testing, the proper due diligence to be sure that yes, the change that he's suggested works and works well and is good enough to make users, the user experience good. Got it. Great. That's extremely clear now. Thank you very much, Mark, for explaining and sharing all that. Any other thoughts or items on that? Or is that everything? That's it. That's all that I had on it. Okay. Great. Thank you so much. The next thing on our agenda is the website tickets that I'm going through in either closing out if we've already taken care of them or if we just like documentation involves naturally over time. So a lot of these things have been taken care of just by virtue of doing the work normally. So I've gone through most of them. I have a few that I would like to discuss and determine whether or not we need to migrate those to GitHub or if they can be closed out or what. And I've linked the sheet here. So once we finish up the last couple items here, we'll go back and take a look through that list and see what makes sense to keep and what makes sense to close. Yeah, I like that. So Brunner, are you okay if what I was suggesting to Kevin earlier was in an earlier session, he and I were talking that we actually spend some time here in office hours to look at these issues. He's removed most of them from the list, but we look at the few that he hasn't removed and say, yeah, that's one we should keep or no, close it out. Yeah, sure. Let's go. Great. Okay. Great. Yeah. And like I said, we'll get into that as soon as I finish up. We finish the rest of the agenda so we can have time. Pull requests of note. Again, we have the change log for an upgrade guide for the next LTS, which is January 11th. So next week. And that's been submitted. Everything's ready to go there. The backporting's all been taken care of at this point. So it's ready for review and merge. And then the other pull request to note here is the web components that Gavin Morgan's been building and creating. This has actually been merged. So Jenkins.io site now has these applied to it and looks great. While you're here, Kevin, I wanted to, could we exercise one? So it's working there. Open up a new tab and open updates.jankens.io because I heard that this one may get some additional changes. Okay. That still looks pretty good to me. Okay. I don't see anything terribly bad there. Okay. Try the other one. Get.jankens.io is another site. Okay. That one's still not, and this one has always been an ugly page, if I remember right. So, okay, good. So it's still, that one still looks like generic HTML, but this one, I don't see any obvious issue with it. Okay. Thank you. That's good. Yeah. Of course. And I think this too actually is one of the other updates that I just thought were the highlight now covers the list items in the categories here, the sublinks. Yeah. Before it was just, you just click on it, but now it actually has a highlight to show that you're looking at the right thing, which is kind of neat. So little things are big difference makers. But yeah. So big, big, big, huge thank you to Gavin Morgan for doing all of that, for his continued work on that, for making these part of the Jankens.io experience. And I know that there's more to come too. So for all the continued work that will be done. We do have a backlog of pull requests right now. I think we're at about 40 to 43 is the highest altogether. So we're obviously planning on going through those and making sure that we reduce that number as much as we can. There will be more contributions coming in throughout the year. So if we can make sure that we're laser focused on the things that are coming up and relevant, then we'll be in good shape. So again, similar to the archiving, but since these are actually in GitHub, they are more likely, most likely more recent. And therefore we can take a time and discuss those things. And then last on the agenda is just a quick note on the December newsletter. So that'll most likely be published here early next week. We are working on the draft. We have updates from folks coming in. And we are working on several parts. It's going to be a big newsletter because we have to celebrate all of 2022 and highlight all the cool things that happened, all the wonderful projects and effort and work that was done. So it's going to be longer than the usual newsletter, but expect it sometime in the next week. And then the list of topics and stuff are available in the previous meeting notes. So it's your archaeologists to see what we are talking about or what we're going to highlight. It's all listed here. So you can check and share if you have suggestions by all means, share them and keep an eye out. Now, with that being said, I'm going to go ahead back to the website issues list. So these are all the ones I clearly got marked on. And then these 20 or so 18 are the ones that I wasn't 100% sure on and wanted to get a second opinion on just to make sure that I'm not totally off and saying I'm not sure if this applies still. So Kevin, could you paste the link to that sheet so that I could open on my on my machine as well? Yeah, it's it's in the document, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, just just click it right in the document. Got it. Okay. Which is here sometimes. But yeah, so like, and there's stuff here like update to jam info. And I think this this actually kind of is more relevant now that there was a discussion earlier about jam set up and organizing and stuff like that. So maybe that's something to update. But I don't know if this is necessarily something we need to update for sure. There are several code link tickets and some of them are most of them are done. Some couple of them aren't. But this is also from 2020. So yeah, I wasn't really sure. I wasn't sure how relevant this would be considering it was updated before the world changed. Yeah, I would. So okay, close. This one, this one is an epic and has an epic. It it has containers of things under it. And and the things under it. Yeah, we can close those out. So for instance, update the event office role description that should just move to Jenkins.io. Let's create a website 716. Let's just create an entry on Jenkins.io to do that. Okay. So I guess this is where some of the challenges come for me like this was this was linked in the comments of the ticket and it's already been merged. So I think in this case, well, let's see, is it? Yeah. So look at the title. It says revert. So what this is is Oleg disagreed with some edits that we did and he removed them. And therefore this was his undoing something that that had been proposed. Got it. Okay. So and and in my case, I wasn't interested in fighting with him about about what the what was or was not. That's that's great. Okay. And so I'm not going to worry about it. Okay. So for me, I would I would just create create a new placeholder in Jenkins.io for that thing. The events officer description. Absolutely. Yes. And then as far as because I didn't realize it was an epic prior than mark. So what as far as the epic goes, we just leave it alone or close. I would close the epic, right? Because I oh yeah, I don't see any benefit to leaving that epic open. Yeah. And I mean, this one's going to get moved over. This doesn't seem like it's necessary anymore. So yeah. Okay. Great. And then there was oh, I noted that I did that the detach plugin documentation. So I know that we've had some recent detach plugin from Basil. Well, and that's and that's exactly what I was describing earlier. Yeah. So so that's this is this is that I had missed that this was there. Good. And so this would be this is essentially. Okay. So this is this is essentially what the you're explaining about the WMI. Exactly. The WMI windows agent deprecation is exactly this thing. Create a placeholder on Jenkins.io for this. And this one can be closed out when the when the placeholder on Jenkins.io is available because that one that's very much a hey, we just we just spent time where you had to listen to me droning on about it. And that exactly is what what I was just what I've been describing. Okay. Awesome. Great. Take care of that. Using API token with GitHub instruction. I couldn't find that on Jenkins.io as far as what they're looking for. Since they only have it in the repository, I wasn't sure. Yeah, I just wasn't sure about this one. I would just close this. I don't if I'm I don't get that one at all. Close it. Okay. Okay. Fair enough. There was this here. This is about linking to the that's not the right one. This one is about linking to the Chinese translation or essentially if someone were to go to this page specifically and then click. What do they said something specifically? Yeah, this is the right. Continue. I hope this one's fixed because we've we've tried diligently to fix. Oh, no. Interesting. Okay. Go back. Yep. So this is a specific example of a more general case. Okay. And the more general case is that we want all links in the Jenkins.io site to be site relative to be site site local. Right. We don't want them to include the www.Jenkins.io URL in the hyperlink because then they they complicate things. And if you were to look at that page on on that page, wherever the clicked link was, if you hover over it, notice that its link goes to www.Jenkins.io not to slash six. Okay. Yeah, I see. And and there's actually a you can close this one and say that it is a duplicate of another. So because it is, it's a duplicate of a request that's already open on Jenkins.io. Let's see if we can find it really quickly here. A request from Tim Jacome saying please implement this thing that yes, it's a duplicate of number 5718 prevent absolute links to Jenkins.io or www.Jenkins.io use relative links instead. Yes. Got it. You can close that. Okay. Great. Thank you very much. And then we are over time. I could I have one last one that I just wanted to check in about because it's more of a I don't even know what they're talking about thing. But they want were curious if you wanted to add SIG sub project metadata to the Jenkins.io participate pages. And I wasn't sure why this would be useful or if it would be. Oh, okay. I see. Right. So the the idea here was to consider updating the automatic automatic page generator so that the format of the pages has more information in it. I'd close this one. We'll add the information if we need it. It's now three years old. Yeah. And with that much age, there hasn't been enough interest for anyone to do it. So just close it. Okay. Great. Yeah. And I'll check in with I'll check in about the rest of them, but that takes care of most like the ones that I really wasn't sure about. And there's a couple other that need a little bit more discussion, but we'll get to it. Anyway, that takes care of everything that I had on the agenda. I want to say thank you again for joining us and welcome back. Happy New Year. I appreciate it. I'm glad everyone's here again and I look forward to next week. So we'll see you then. The video will be available in 2448 hours.


Hello everybody hooded cober commander 788 here and this is a quick look at the hooded cober commander action figure This is the GI Joe action figure from which this YouTube channel takes its name the hooded cober commander action figure was released in 1984 and was only available through a mail away offer It was not available at retail the only way to get this figure was through the mail It was however available for a very long time So there are a lot of these action figures floating around and that's good for collectors if you want one of these figures It is not very hard to find and you should want one of these figures because it's really cool hooded cober commander is in a dark blue Plastic that's a contrast to the lighter blue plastic of the first version of cober commander The head has a cowl, which is why this is called the hooded cober commander version The head is made of a soft plastic which allows the hood to drape over the neck That's a really nice effect in addition to the dark blue We have some red and gold highlights some red behind the collar and of course the red cober emblem and then gold Just about everywhere else that really makes this figure look special as with the first version of cober commander The hooded cober commander action figure came with one accessory the venom laser pistol It is a laser pistol in dark gray plastic This is a nicely detailed accessory, but the cool thing about this laser pistol is the figure has a recharging pack on his back And the pistol can peg in To this space in the back and he can hold his pistol in the recharging pack HCC included a file card Since this figure was not available at retail. This is not printed on the back of a retail card This was an insert included with the figure. It had a white border around it There was a flag point here, but it's been cut out on this example The art is updated from the version one card other than that the text is pretty much the same as the version one file card That was my quick look at the hooded cober commander action figure from 1984 I hope you enjoyed it. Please follow this channel for vintage GI Joe toy reviews I have a huge back catalog of reviews and I have more coming Please support this channel on patreon if you can so I can continue making these videos Thank you very much for watching I will see you next time and until then remember only GI Joe is GI Joe

On the evening of Thursday, August 3rd, the Floyd County Sheriff's Office responded to an altercation that resulted in one man being stabbed in Herald. KSP was then notified and assisted with the arrest of a single subject as well as the investigation. The victim was brought to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening wounds. We were notified from the Floyd County Sheriff's Office on August 3rd at almost 9.30 p.m. of a stabbing incident in the Herald community of Floyd County. It took place there around the double quick between the double quick and the Thacker auto parts. There were two male subjects that had been an altercation at which point one of the male subjects suffered a stab wound. He was transported to a nearby hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The other subject was located, gave a statement, and charges in this case will be pending presentation of the Floyd County Grand Jury in the investigation. No names have been released and charges are pending at this time as the investigation is ongoing. Kentucky State Police will provide an update to the public when more information is gathered. From the information gathered there on the scene, the two subjects were acquaintances. They knew each other. Like I said, the altercation occurred at which point one of them suffered a stab wound. You know the call comes in. Floyd County Sheriff's Office was able to respond to the scene quickly. They notified us to come out and work the investigation. It's an ongoing investigation. It's been handled by the Kentucky State Police. Trooper Bailey Combs is the investigating officer. Charges are pending in this investigation with the presentation of the Floyd County Grand Jury. At which point, if an arrest is made, then we'll update the media and push the name out. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colm.


What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I'm Goldpony. I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube. And today we're in the new 2020 Nissan Kix per your request. And of course I also wanted to check this one out because I've actually not reviewed the Kix yet. So this one is going to be a new one for me as well. And of course I will be testing out absolutely everything about this one, going over everything about the Kix. So what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so there are a few different trim levels available for the 2020 Nissan Kix. First one being the S starting at $18,870 SV for $20,500. And lastly, the one we have today being the SR starting at $21,120. And so regardless of trim level that you go with actually, power plant is going to be the same. Powering this little beast is going to be a 1.6 liter naturally aspirated inline four cylinder, putting out 122 horsepower at 6,300 RPM, 114 pound-feet of torque available at 4,000 RPM, power sent to the front wheels through a CVT, giving you a zero to 60 time coming in at approximately 9.7 seconds, which doesn't sound like a whole lot of paper. So we will be testing that out in a little bit here of course. And MPG numbers come in at 31 in the city, 36 on the highway taking regular unleaded fuel. And so before we do that acceleration test, one of the quirky little things about the Nissan Kix here, there actually is a sport mode. However, you might not ever know that because the sport mode is a singular line tucked away on the backside of the shifter. So when you're driving, you can't even see it quite honestly, but if you press that, it does immediately downshift, so to speak. We're in a CVT, but it is going to hold the RPMs in a much higher level, giving you more power on demand. The only way you're going to know that it is indeed in sport mode is there is going to be a small little S located next to the D for drive of course, found on the digital display portion on the gauges here. So that's how you're going to know you're in sport mode. Of course you just press it again to take it out of sport mode, but I found that kind of interesting. They don't actually have a button labeled sport to put it in that sport mode. It's just a singular horizontal line found underneath the shifter. So you can't even see it. So that's how you're going to use it if you wanted it. But having said that, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and do a little acceleration test now and let's see how quickly we can get this new 2020 Nissan Kix up to speed. All right, there it is. Here's our straightaway. In three, two, one, coming to a complete stop and go. Okay, that's enough. Definitely not the quickest thing in the world. If you guys want quicker just get the 370 seat quite honestly, but it'll do the trick. It should do the trick of marching on to the highway, stuff like that. But yeah, it's not the quickest thing. But again, this is more of a city car anyway. So do you really need absolute crazy acceleration in this? I think not. Let's get off the acceleration then. To go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important.  In the back, eight inch solid rear discs. As far as that 60 to zero stopping distance goes, this is actually where the kicks is pretty darn impressive, 115 feet. Let me tell you guys, you usually wanna drive vehicles like the Kix. You usually expect somewhere in the 120s or even 130s. So 115 feet is actually very, very impressive. And I can tell you guys, I've already hit the brakes in the Kix. It is very impressive. There's no brake pedal delay or anything like that. It's not a soft braking feel. It's definitely a nice braking feel as well. It's not too soft. It's definitely not too firm either, I will say that. But very nice braking feel. You can definitely tell it brings you to a stop pretty darn quick. It feels like 115 feet from 60. So that is actually well done on the Kix. I will say that. And actually, since I have the numbers, of course, comparison wise, the Toyota CHR comes in at 122 feet. Ford Echo Sport comes in at 128 feet. So again, 115 feet works. But so then touching on suspension and handling up front, you're gonna get an independent strut type front suspension. In the Mac, Torsen beam rear suspension, also a front stabilizer bar. As far as ride quality goes, I will say you can feel a good bit of the road in the Kix. But again, that's kind of to be expected in a vehicle like this. So we'll say it's not the smoothest ride of the world, but again, pretty much as expected there. Steering feel, I will say, is definitely on the looser side. Not a horrible thing. Again, it's pretty much as expected. It's not like this is a race car. You don't need a heavier steering feel, but it is definitely on the looser side with this one. Cabin noise, again, pretty much on par for the course. Usually when it comes to vehicles like the CHR, the Ford Echo Sport, you're gonna feel a little bit more of the road.  So it all pretty much is, as I expected the Nissan Kix to be. I will say that. But so then touching on visibility, I can see pretty good out the back. And I put it that way because those second row headrests are feel like gigantic. So they definitely eat up a good bit of that rear visibility. But this is kind of a smaller vehicle. So really you shouldn't have too many issues and kind of just look past the headrest there where you can actually just completely remove them if you didn't have rear passengers, I guess, or fold the seats down. One or the other, but they definitely do eat up a good bit of that rear visibility. I did want to say that. But that about rounds out the performance segment of this review, you guys. Let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of this brand new 2020 Nissan Kix. All right, so here she is, you guys, the 2020 Nissan Kix. Finished with a two-tone exterior. So let me go ahead and start with that. As far as that two-tone exterior goes, that basically puts the roof a different color. Those two-tone color options range from $250 to $595 in case you were interested in one of them. You guys can see we got the black roof and the red exterior here today. But now let's go ahead and start up front on this one, of course. Looking at that front grille, you will find that Nissan V-Motion front grille. It is gonna be finished in a chrome if you go with the S or SV trim levels and you will get a dark chrome finish if you were to go with the SR trim level that we have here today. Then make your way to the sides. Halogen headlights come with the S and SV trim levels. However, you will get LED headlights with LED signature lighting for the SR trim level. And that is, of course, what you are looking at right now. And just to elaborate on those headlights, I know I don't have them on right here in this shop, but you guys can see this headlight design is kind of crazy looking. I kind of like it. Look at the angles on those headlights and look how far off and kind of up. They come off the hood right there. I think this angle probably shows it the best, but it's a very unique headlight design. I kind of like it. But anyways, automatic feature also comes with those headlights, meaning they do turn on automatically for you when it starts to get dark out. That's always handy. And fog lights come with the SR trim level down below. So you guys can see them as well there. But so then make your way to the side of the kicks. Roof rails come standard with the SV trim level and up. And actually this one of the changes for the 2020 kicks is roof rails actually used to be standard on the S trim level as well in 2019, but they are now just standard on the SV and SR trim levels for 2020. So I did want to point that out. Floating roof line, you guys can find that towards the back of the kicks there. Body colored door handles come with the SV and SR trim levels. Body colored power adjustable side mirrors do come standard. They will be heated for the SV and SR trim levels and you will get integrated turn signals if you were to go with the SR trim like we have today. Then take a look down at the wheel setup. 16 inch steel wheels with covers are going to come with the S trim level. 17 inch aluminum alloy wheels with the SV and SR. And so we've been now making our way to the back of this one. Rear roof spoiler is going to come with the SR trim level only. So therefore that is what you were looking at right now. Integrated brake light can be found just below that. It's not going to be part of the rear spoiler, but it is there of course. Just below that rear window wiper trim level badging at the bottom right hand portion of that rear tailgate there. And of course just below it all, a single exhaust outlet. We have a nice chrome finish to it of course right here as well. Do you believe you guys know what we have to do next? As always here is that exhaust clip. It's open now since we are around back when it comes to opening that rear hatchet is a manual lift gates to simply just lift up. Actually there's a rubber button on the back of that rear hatch. You just press that it unlocks and then you can open it up. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 25.3 cubic feet. If that was not enough space those receipts do fold down bumping that up to 32.3 cubic feet. Also in that cargo area for all trim levels you will find four cargo tie down hooks. There's also a cargo cover for the SV and SR trim levels. And there are some grocery hooks back there as well. It's up and then making our way to the rear leg room that comes in at 33.2 inches. So for reference I've been even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. And there are some rear under seat heater ducts for the SV and SR trim levels. So there's no actual air vents found on the backside of the center armrest here in the front. But they are located underneath the seat. So I did want to mention that. But making our way now to the front seats, manually adjustable claw seats come standard across the board. We'll find some orange stitching if you were to go with the SR trim level only. I think you guys can clearly see that. Heated seats are gonna be optional for the SR. We actually do happen to have them today. They're located just in between the climate control information up front there. So you can get them if you want. But ultimately the seats were plenty comfortable for me. So no issues with seat comfort or anything like that. I will say that. But take a look now at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping for all trim levels. It is leather wrapped for the SR trim level. Actually a flat bottom for the SR as well. I absolutely love that. And again, tied all together with that orange stitching. At least when you go with the SR trim level. So it looks pretty darn cold for that reason I guess. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the startup. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here. You do have all of your buttons located on one side of the key. So I'm gonna go at the top. Lock, unlock and that remote start is going to come with the SV and SR trim levels. Push button start is going to come with the SV and SR trim levels as well actually. So all I am going to do therefore, simply just put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button located just in front of the shifter there. Let's hope it then once started up it's kind of a half digital display. The speedometer is going to be on your right. The digital display portion is going to be on your left. And of course it is completely customizable by using the steering wheel mounted controls located on the left side of the steering wheel. You can display different things like a digital speedometer if you wanted to do that. There's also your tire pressure information. There's how many miles you have left until you hit empty. You could choose to have a more traditional setup on that side displaying your RPMs if you wanted to. I'm actually probably leaving on that. That's pretty cool. And it tells you your average miles per gallon. They're really a bunch of other different stuff as well. So a good bit of stuff actually located within that gauge setup because of the digital display but make our way now to overall interior quality. Automatic climate control comes with the SV and SR meaning you could set a temperature and it will automatically reach that for you. Love the orange stitching as I previously said. You can actually find it just above the passenger side glove box and around the infotainment screen as well. And we'll get to the infotainment screen in a second here. Like the P&O black finishes around the circular air vents on both the driver and passenger side there as well. And that P&O black finishes also around the shifter there. Good bit of storage in front of the shifter. 12 volt power outlet, auxiliary port, USB charging port. You have a couple of cup holders behind that and a small little button to open up that center armrest here in the front. It's a very small little button. So I thought that was pretty cool. Bunch of places where you can store some coins like quarters it looks like perhaps and a little bit of storage in there. Not a whole lot, but at least it's there. So I do like that as well. Now like I said, let's go ahead and make our way to that tech display. Seven inch color touch screen display does come standard across the board. Bluetooth and audio streaming comes with that. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for the SV and SR trim levels. And of course, you can check out your radio information up there as well. And by the way, when it comes to the sound system in the kicks, a couple of different sound systems actually, you do have your standard sound system, which is six speakers that actually comes for all trim levels across the board. However, there is an optional sound system specifically for the SR that we have today that we do have here today. And that is going to be the eight speaker Bose sound system with a speaker located in the driver side headrest. I've had that pretty darn cool. This is the first thing I noticed when I got in this one. Since it's there, I think you guys know what we have to do next. Let's go ahead and turn on the radio and see what we've got playing today. And let's test out the clarity of this one. The side of the road, the side of the road. Actually, that was really good. It kind of surprised me for the size of the kicks. Actually, that was plenty, really more than enough for the size of the kicks, plenty of face. Clarity is actually what really surprised me. The clarity on that Bose sound system was pretty darn good. But again, I've had Bose sound systems in my cars before and they always have never failed me. So that was definitely a really good sound system for the kicks. I will say that. But to the last thing I wanted to mention to you on the tech display at least is when you do put the kicks in reverse, you will find a rear view camera across the board. And actually for the SR trim level, you will get a 360 degree monitor as well. So therefore that is what you are looking at right now. Love to see that in a vehicle priced as the kicks is. That is so freaking cool. Usually you find that a luxury vehicle. So that's why I say that. But as always, that is going to lead us into safety. And so to start, front side, side curtain airbags of course come standard driver and passenger knee airbags though as well. In the back, you're going to have latch, AKA lower anchors and tether to children for the rear car seats. Rear child door locks as well. Tire pressure monitoring system. But safety is probably where the most changes happened for the 2020 kicks. So new for 2020 advanced safety is now going to be standard for all trim levels, including the S, including a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, rear automatic braking, high beam assist and rear parking sensors as well across the board. Now we'll say that rear automatic braking works wonderful. I actually had the plate covering up one of the parking sensors in the back. So when I first tried to put the kicks in reverse, it did automatically break for me because the license plate was actually covering one of the sensors. So it definitely works plenty well. We'll say that's overall. When it comes to my final thoughts, first thing I got to mention, I love these standard advanced safety features that are new for 2020. Got to love that. It's not an IIHS top safety peg due to its headlights essentially, but still all the rest of it kind of make up for it really. But also braking is great on the kicks. Really one of the best braking feels and best braking statistics really in its class. Although when the downside acceleration isn't the quickest, probably one of the slowest on that side of things, but still the braking makes up for it. Love that the Bose sound system is available. It's a heck of a sound system for the kicks. No all-wheel drive available. That kind of bumps me out. I would have liked to have seen that as an option on the kicks. Some of its competitors offer it. So that would have been kind of nice. Ultimately, it's kind of hit and miss for me. So wouldn't have minded some of those extra things, but overall because of the braking, because of the safety, because of the sound system, this one is definitely one you guys got to check out. But let me know what you guys think in the comments section of the 2020 kicks. That is about it for this one. Thank you so much for watching. Feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen there and if you like, be sure to hit the subscribe and the bell notification button if you're into new car reviews. That is what we do here on this channel after all. Do appreciate you guys watching more than you know when I will see you guys all in the next video. Stay Gold.


Grasslands cover a large area of the Australian continent. These range from native grasses to pasture and cropping land.  Fan by strong dry winds and fed by continuous fuel, grass fires can spread rapidly, almost instantly changing direction with the wind. To safely, effectively and efficiently contain these fires to the smallest possible area, firefighters must understand and carry out their role as part of a disciplined crew. Crews turning out to any fire must wear approved personal protective clothing appropriate to the task. This will include overalls or trousers and coat, helmet and boots. In addition, goggles, gloves and dust masks should be carried and worn as necessary to prevent injury and ease the effects of the smoke, heat, dust and burning embers you may encounter. For your health and comfort when working in hot conditions, you should wear the recommended minimum clothing underneath personal protective clothing. Ensure that it is loose fitting and made of natural fibres. Heat and hard work can bring on dehydration. To avoid this, you should commence your fluid intake prior to starting work and continue to drink water alternated with electrolyte replacement drinks during your shift. When responding to the fire, seat belts must be worn and helmets safely stowed or held. Wear approved personal protective clothing and equipment. Drink water alternated with electrolytes. Fasten seat belts and stow helmets. The first crew leader or officer to arrive at the fire will initially act as the incident controller and establish a control point from where the firefight will be coordinated. The incident controller will size up the fire and provide a situation report to the radio control station. Come on, you guys, we're doing the briefing. Let's go. Incoming crews will be briefed so that they know their task, the radio channel to be used, the method of attack and any fire ground safety issues. As the incident grows in size and more tankers are needed the control point may become the operations point. As strike teams arrive from the staging area they will be checked in and briefed using the SMEACS format prior to their deployment to the fire front. Take your strike team down. Tag onto the back of Kilimanay and Wando on the eastern flank. I have another strike team coming in which I'll put onto the western flank. Each firefighter must know they are responsible for their own safety and the safety of fellow crew members. Know who you report to. Be briefed on your task. Look out for your safety and those you are working with. How a grass fire is attacked will depend on the combined effects of fuel, weather and topography. When fighting a fast moving grass fire you need to take each of these factors into account so that you will know what the fire is doing and what it is likely to do. The strategy and tactics chosen to attack the fire will depend on its rate of spread, flame height, fire intensity, current and expected weather conditions, access to the fire and available fire fighting resources. Methods used to attack a grass fire may include direct attack, parallel attack or indirect attack. Direct attack means working directly on the fire edge, on the head or flanks. Direct attack is generally used and most successful where flame height and fire intensity are low.  This may be carried out by working from the point of origin towards the head of the fire with the aim of pinching it in. When carrying out a direct attack take particular care when working along fingers as these may quickly join up. Watch out for any spotting activity as you may become trapped between the main fire and the spot fire.  The parallel attack method is used for low and moderate intensity fires. Generally a mineral earth control line is constructed parallel to the fire as close as possible to the fire edge. A broad range of equipment may be used to do this including graders, bulldozers, disc plows or other earth moving machinery. When the control line is completed fuel between the main fire and the control line may be burnt out under close supervision. This usually occurs on a flank working from the point of origin using the blacked out edge as your anchor point. Control line construction must stay ahead of any burning out activities. You must understand that the further you work away from the fire edge the greater the personal risk if the fire changes direction or fire intensity increases. The indirect attack method requires working from a control line. This will be located some distance from the fire perimeter and may be constructed using machinery or it may include a natural feature like a river, creek or washerway. Back burning may then be used to burn out fuel between the control line and the approaching fire front. Back burning is potentially hazardous and needs experience, knowledge and skill to achieve a successful outcome.  Rast fire attack methods depend on the combined effects of fuel, weather, topography, firefighter safety, rate of spread, flame height, fire intensity, access to the fire and available resources. An anchor point is defined as an advantageous location from which a fire line can be constructed. It is used to minimize the possibility of being outflanked by a fire while the line is being constructed. An anchor point may be an existing road or track. Alternatively, the burnt ground can provide an immediate anchor point as crews progress along the blacked out fire edge. Know your anchor points and have two escape routes. Fast moving grass fires can be difficult to control. In extreme wildfire conditions you may need to take a defensive strategy and move into asset protection to minimize loss of life and property. This may take many forms including protecting homes against ember attack from an approaching fire front. In these conditions, the building may also provide protection until the fire front passes. A line of tankers working together provides an efficient means of suppressing long fire edges, provided they work as a team. One or two tankers may commence the firefight and as other tankers in the form of strike teams arrive, they join in. When conducting a direct attack on the head or flanks the crew on the front tanker conducts the initial attack using two nozzles. The forward firefighter directs a jet stream at the base of the flames along the grass fire edge. This gives maximum water penetration to the seat of the fire where it will have maximum knock down effect. Taking care not to hose burning fuel into unburnt fuel. The second firefighter, using a fog nozzle set at a 30 degree spray angle follows up approximately three meters behind the first nozzle completing knock down. This second nozzle may also be used for immediate font protection to the crew and truck should radiant heat levels suddenly increase. The second tanker follows up extinguishing any spots missed by the first tanker using one or two nozzles as necessary. The third, fourth and fifth tankers follow as a reserve. When the first tanker reaches low water level it peels off. The second tanker then takes over the initial attack and the third tanker crew steps up to knock down any relights. Additional tankers are deployed to move up and support these vehicles as they peel off to refill with water. There are a limited number of tankers fitted with the magnum nozzle. This is used to knock down a grass fire edge in conjunction with the crew using hand held nozzles. In any grass fire attack experienced drivers should be at the wheel as they play an important role in successful firefighting operations. To achieve this the driver needs to see the front hose stream, assess its effectiveness and adjust the speed of the vehicle accordingly. By keeping the window open the driver can also feel radiant heat levels and adjust the distance from the fire edge to protect the crew. Limited visibility due to smoke and dust can make driving difficult so a safe distance between tankers must be maintained. This will also make it easier for any relights to be seen and extinguished by the crew. Where practical work from the black and activate front sprays as required. Whether to drive on the black or unburnt ground will depend on many factors which may include fuel, weather, topography, wind speed and direction, fire behaviour and intensity and crew comfort in smoke, ash and dust. Whenever driving an unburnt grassland debris may accumulate under your vehicle or on the radiator. This should be closely monitored and removed to avoid the danger of your vehicle catching fire or overheating. Use gates where possible or if fences need to be cut to gain access, cut the wires in a staggered formation so that they can be temporarily rejoined Hazards for drivers include limited visibility in long grass which may hide rocks, stumps, potholes and washaways. All slopes and rough ground should be negotiated with extreme care to avoid injury to the crew and damage to the vehicles. Tankers work in line for effective knockdown. Direct water along the fire edge. Use fog for crew protection. Monitor water levels. Avoid working in heat, smoke and dust. Use experienced drivers. Avoid hazards. Roadside reserves in heavily timid areas pose additional risks to your safety. In these areas you may need to work on the ground away from tankers using hose lays or hand tools to obtain best results. Fuel loads on roadsides are often higher than adjoining grasslands and fire behaviour can change dramatically with increasing radiant heat levels. Trees may also be set alight creating additional hazards through spotting activity and falling limbs. These can continue to fall for many days after the fire has passed. Look up and maintain a close watch on burning or falling trees and limbs. Trees threaten your safety. Watch out for falling limbs, spotting activity, increased radiant heat, increased smoke. Stay well clear and up slope of dangerous trees. Water is an important tool when used for attacking grass fires and it must be used effectively and efficiently. To maintain a successful grass fire attack with tankers an adequate supply of water needs to be accessed within a short turnaround time. Dams, tanks, channels and natural water courses can provide a ready source of water. If brick filled pumps are set up at these points they need to be clearly identified. Use water effectively and efficiently. Identify water points. Fire bombing aircraft can effectively extinguish flames along a running fire edge. Aircraft provide additional support to ground crews by targeting hotspots and reporting on fire activity. You need to be aware of aircraft operating nearby. Listen for any sirens that may indicate water or foam drop and take precautions by moving out of fire bombing areas. You should know your tanker aerial identification number in the event that you are called from an aircraft to move away from a fire bombing area. Look out for aircraft working in your area. Know your aerial ID number. The use of class A foam can improve the effectiveness of water. You need to understand when, where to use it and what proportioning rates are used to produce the best results for variations in fuel type, quantity, size and arrangement. Class A foam solution provides for quick wetting of grass fields to attack and knock down flames along a fire edge. Conventional jet spray or fog nozzle should be used for foam solution application using the same techniques as for water during knock down operations. For all applications using solution it is proportioned at between 0.1% and 0.2%. Where timbered areas need to be protected a foam blanket can be applied by a foam making branch pipe at a higher concentration of approximately 0.3%. This aerated foam solution makes white bubbly foam that sticks to vertical surfaces like trees and other vegetation. Water that drains from the foam is absorbed into A class fuels making them too wet to burn. A simple rule when using aerated class A foam is wetter is better. Class A foam is also effective for mopping up to penetrate and cool small ring fuels such as cowpats, tusks, stumps and logs. Foam application can make for slippery conditions on the ground so you need to take care to avoid falls. Class A foam must not be used near waterways or dams. Restrictions also apply on organic farms and water catchment areas. Class A foam improves the effectiveness of water. Solution is applied by conventional nozzles. As foam, wetter is better. Minimize environmental impact. Manage human health and safety. Users to be competently trained. If you're not in the lockdown of flames, it is vital that thorough mopping up and blacking out operations are undertaken. In grass fires, firefighters need to achieve blackout of the burnt ground in order to prevent any relights. Crews start blacking out from the point of origin and work systematically along the perimeter of the fire ensuring that all areas near the unburned edge are totally blacked out. When this is achieved, you start with stumps, grass tusks and animal dung that are near the edge of the fire need to be dug up or turned over and completely blacked out. Using the back of the hand with caution feel for hot spots and break up any dense concentrations of hot fuel. Mopping up and blackout operations can only be thoroughly achieved by crews working on the ground. Use rake hose, axes and shovels in combination with water to assist in this work. In grass fires where potential relights may occur a mineral earth control line may be constructed around the fire using heavy machinery. Remember any relights can undo a lot of good work. Crews will need to continue patrolling the fire until it is declared safe. Work from an anchor point. Work in from the outer edge. Use hand tools to assist break up a hot fuel. Best results working from the ground. May require mineral earth control line. Firefighting can be hazardous so remember that firefighter safety takes priority over all other fire suppression activities. Be briefed on your allocated task and know whom to report to. Changes in fuel, weather and topography are factors that may dramatically alter fire behaviour, intensity, direction and speed. Constantly monitor water levels and maintain a safety reserve. If conditions deteriorate or become unsafe you should use planned escape routes. Work from an anchor point. Working under or around treed areas increases the risks to your safety. Take care when working near heavy equipment and farm machinery as you may not be seen or heard by an operator. Work within the communications plan to ensure clear communications up and down the chain of command and with each other. Report any issues affecting or threatening safety to your supervisor. Although grass fires may be fast moving and rapidly change direction the principles outlined in this video will allow you to operate safely effectively and efficiently on the fire ground.
