In this presentation, we will record the journal entry related to the payments of an installment note, including both principal and interest components. Support accounting instruction by clicking the link below, giving you a free membership to all of the content on our website, broken out by category, further broken out by course, each course then organized in a logical, reasonable fashion, making it much more easy to find what you need then can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again, click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. Our data is on the left side and we have our annuity table which will help us on the right side. We're going to enter our journal entries into our general journal. We'll post them to our worksheet here. Our trial balance is in order with the assets, liabilities, equity, income and expense, debits being represented with positive credits with negative meaning that the debits equal the credits and we have net income of 700,000 at this time. This is just to give us something in balance that we start with so that we can see the effect on the accounting equation, individual accounts and account components here. Our data over here is that we had a loan initially of 100,000. The interest rate was 9% 36 pay periods. So this is normal installment type note that we're going to pay an equal amount each month for a loan of the 100,000. We then put that on the book so we can see it's on the books now because here's our note 100,000. We haven't made any payments it's not been reduced at all so we're going to make the first payment. In order to do that we have to have our table. Note in practice if you look at a loan they may only give you this information. They're going to say here's the loan amount, here's the interest rate, here's the number of payments, here's the payment amount and they may only give you less than this. They may not even give you all of this because they could leave one of these out like the payment amount or they have to give you the payment. They may not tell you the interest rate which you'd have to derive then from the other information because any of these left out you could figure out what the other would be based on you know just math. So in any case we know the payment so you would think that obviously cash is affected we're going to pay this amount. So we know that so we could even do that now and say well cash is affected. We're going to say cash is going to go down, cash is a debit balance amounts. We're going to make it go down doing the opposite thing to it. I'm going to put that on the bottom, I'm going to skip two lines because I happen to know that there are going to be two other accounts. If you start to build this from scratch and you want to put cash on top and credit it, do that. Do that rather than thinking about something else first you know whatever makes sense to build this thing out. So I'm going to right-click and paste one, two, three. Now the cash is going to be given so it's just going to be the or we can take it from the table I'm going to say negative of this number. All of our payments are going to be the same so it's negative of that number and there we have it. But the problem is that you know cash what are we paying for? We're paying for partially interest and partially principal and we don't know what the breakout is based on this information it doesn't tell us. So what we have to do is break that out with an amortization table. So we made the amortization table in a prior period and a prior presentation if they give you an amortization table great. If they don't oftentimes not they don't then we can derive it which we showed in a prior presentation once we have it then we can say okay I'm going to highlight this and just say this is our first payment and so we're paying this amount each time and this is how much we're going to break out to interest and principal. Note again it changes each time so it's not like we can just copy the first paper we can't just do what happened last time we need the table. So okay so we're going to say interest is $750 and principal is $2430. So we have interest expense it's going to go up as all expenses do by the interest portion so it's a debit balance account we'll do the same thing to it another debit. So I'll copy interest expense we'll put that up top in V3 right click and paste 123 and then I'm going to say this equals and I'm just going to pick up the amount of interest per our amortization table 750 and then the principal of course is the difference it's going to be this minus that or 2003 2003 430 which should also be on our table 2004 30 so the difference is going to be reducing the principal so the loan amount is going to go down not by the full amount we paid but by the amount that's not allocated to the interest so we'll copy the note payable we'll put that here in the middle and B4 right click and paste 123 and I'm going to put that that's a debit because this is a credit amount we need to make it go down so we're doing the opposite thing to it and obviously that's what we need to be in balance as well so I'm going to put a debit and say this equals and also pull this from the table so there's our there's our transaction here so obviously these are two amounts that are being drawn from the table okay and so once we finish this and record it then our balance here should go down to that and we should record our 750 interest so let's do that so we're going to say that interest is here we're going to record this here on our trial balance in each 10 equals pointing to that 750 that's going to bring interest up in the debit direction put us out of balance and bring net income down then we'll record the note payable here's notes payable here's notes payable we're in the middle column in H6 equals that's 2004 30 bringing this 100,000 down by the 2004 30 to 97 570 and then here's cash here's cash we're in H3 equals 3,180 bringing the cash down so that puts us back in balance so what happened cash goes down loan goes down but only by the amount of allocate to the loan interest goes up by whatever the interest is bringing net income down only by the amount of interest so net income doesn't go down by the payment only the amount of interest that the rest of it's just reducing the liability so this is the amount that we had to pay over and above that's why it's an expense in this time period in order to help generate revenue okay so that's this amount then of course matches where we are now on our amortization table now we're gonna do this one more time and note this would be a month later so obviously we wouldn't do it right after a month would pass our numbers would change based on whatever activity happened but we're just gonna use the same trial balance to get an idea of what's happening month to month this is a month later and we're gonna do this again so I'm gonna unhighlight this we're gonna make that blue again and we're focusing on the second payment we're gonna make that green right click and make it green so we'll do the same thing and if you if you're in practice you're probably gonna say well it should be the same as last month that's what the people always tell me to do just copy last month but you can't copy flat month last month exactly because the interest portion it's gonna change the amount of payment will remain the same so we can copy like the format we can say well cash is affected so I know that's gonna be the same as what we did last month so I'm gonna skip a line skip two more I'm in B9 put it on the bottom right click and paste 123 that's the same and the cash is gonna be a credit of this amount that's what they standardized when we make a loan that's what they want to standardize because they want us to make it as easy as possible you know when we're thinking about it but to do that they made this complicated the interest and principal portion so the interest then it's still going to be debited so we're gonna debit interest here but the amount will differ and that's the that's the part that won't be the same from time period the time period and we'll have to get that from the table by saying equals picking up in this case the 732 and then the difference will be the payment the note payable reduction so the note payable is the credit balance we're gonna make it go down and that's gonna be the difference between these 2004 48 that's what we need should also be what's on the amortization table so it equals this 2004 48 so that's what we have enough and again there's our journal entry these are being derived from the table so that's from there that's from there once we post it then this amount should be equal to this amount so let's do that we will say that here's the interest expense we're gonna record that here and again note this is a month later obviously you know we probably have our sales would have gone up and other expenses would have happened but the interest expense would be the second month it's the 750 if we're talking about a year income statement hasn't closed out to retain earnings yet so we'll double click on it say plus that 732 bringing the interest up bringing net income down and then we'll go to the note payable here's notes payable something's in it so I'm gonna double click on it go to the end of it plus point to that 2004 48 bringing it down and then here's cash here's cash we'll go to the middle double click end of it plus three thousand one eighty four bringing the cash down so now this amount here this 95 122 is matching this amount and that should be the case as we go through this we'll do this every time every month this amount will always tie out the interest amount of course after after the end of a time period if the month or the year will close out as all net income will to retain earnings or the capital whatever equity section depending on the type of entity we're using


This is stock number 1078. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used sports car headquarters today. We are checking out this exceptionally clean 2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500. This car has the 5.8 liter supercharged V8 motor which pumps out 1,662 horsepower.

Hi, I'm Thomas with Archive Elements. Today we'll talk about front-to-back ratio. Before that, if you find our videos useful, like, comment, and consider subscribing to our channel and we'll let you know whenever a new video is out. A major engineering organization defines front-to-back ratio in a following way. It is the ratio of the maximum directivity of an antenna to its directivity in a specified backward direction. Wondering what this means in human language? Let's have a look. Front-to-back ratio says how strong the back loop is compared to the main loop. Even though back loop, as well as any other radiation outside the main loop, is considered a side loop, it got a specific name because it radiates precisely in the opposite direction as the main loop. Once we know the radiation pattern of an antenna, front-to-back ratio is the difference between the gain of the main loop and the gain of the back loop. In the practical life, back loop doesn't necessarily point exactly backwards because of the manufacturing and design imperfections. Therefore, the front-to-back ratio is often defined as the gain of the main loop, minus the gain of the strongest side loop within a plus-minus 30 degree angle around the backward direction. Manufacturers in the Wisp industry often claim that the good front-to-back ratio means an antenna is good for dense collocations. This is simply not true. In reality, back loop is only one out of many side loops antennas used in Wisp industry typically have, making it largely irrelevant. On top of that, the size of the side loops changes with frequency, which degrades the practical value of front-to-back ratio as a measure of the side loop performance even more. In low-interference areas, high-front-to-back ratio is not so important because there is no interference potentially harming a wireless network in the first place. In high-interference areas, front-to-back ratio is also irrelevant. This is because the rest of the side loops still collect the interference, harming a wireless network by increasing the noise floor the radio is working with. The other side loops antennas used in Wisp industry usually have completely diminished the benefit that high-front-to-back ratio supposedly brings. A true measure of side loop performance is beam efficiency. If you want to know more about beam efficiency, check out our previous videos by clicking the link in the corner or in the video description. A good example of antennas with no side loops are RF elements horn sectors optimized for 5 GHz Wisp networks in high-interference and high-customer density areas.

If it's cheaper to buy a new gun and reload the old one, there is a problem. Even if the rules allow it, I can't have a belt fed pistol. I will raise my hand if I've already heard the DM's riddle. The spell is called Prismatic Spray, not Taste the Rainbow. Before we start the dungeon crawl, I don't have to have my monk oiled down. My rogue trader does not need to announce his arrival with eight hours of orbital bombardment. My mage can't just sleepwalk to get around resting for spells. When the power gamer sleeps, can't move the camp down the road. Can't lure out Housely Owl mech warriors by announcing a Chinese fire drill.

Apaches do not settle arguments by Indian leg wrestling. I will tell the new player fantasy games means gnomes and wizards not assless chaps in jumper cables. The Degas gun is not a real gun. Every time the halfling gets a critical hit, I don't have to feed him a snack. No one in the party gets to name their character Kergan McAsskicker. I will not spend 30 minutes of the game trying to buy an accordion. I will stop using crew as hit points. I need to stop telling new players bars were the original prestige class. Even if the rule of the lawet can't take a prestige class at level 4. Even if the rule of the lawet, you can't sneak with a running chainsaw. Vegapig me, they're not part of this complete breakfast. The progenitor's job is not just to supply the good stuff. There is no way the iteration X mage is going to make it through airport security. It's not okay to stick the syndicate agent with the check every single time. We aren't calling the NWO agent at odd hours just to answer trivia questions. We will buy a GPS already so we don't have to drag the void engineer everywhere. Rokia do not make Pac-Man noises when they attack. If the solar cringes, it's time to reassess my alignment. Even if the rule of the lawet, I can't build myself an Imperator Titan. Flak armor is not just a muscle shirt with the word armor stenciled on it. We aren't raising the villain from the dead because we haven't killed him enough yet. Even if she's the most dangerous, the party doesn't appreciate me killing the naked chick first. Devils don't appreciate natural 20s on a bargain check.  There is no prize for having the prettiest werewolf. Even if the rule of the lawet, I can't mount a flamethrower on a knife.

No matter how much they enjoy it, no juggling half-land children. I will stop telling the noob the Star Wars universe celebrates people exploding at the age of twenty-five. Despite what the rules say, a draconian life preserver is a bad idea. Despite what the mass says, elves do not gestate for an entire decade. I will not take the flaw enemy, Paranoids. Any character even remotely resembling Mr. B. Natural is dead before the first dice are rolled. If the elf is rolling badly, doesn't mean we need to water him. I will not use the druid's chakram to play Frisbee with his dire wolf. No using the reduced spell to only buy a child's ticket at the movies. Militech does not have a wedding registry. Can't thwart the Cylon's massive attack just by installing Norton Antivirus. It is bad form to sing along with the elevator music in a black ops. Rebed away more than a duck. My character's favorite color is not burnt umber hulk. Getting a blue chip for humor does not entitle me to an acceptance speech. If all the players have to pull their D6s so I can roll for initiative, time to retire the character.  Starships do not have to drop anchor. Starfleet's rules on using the holodeck for recreating scenes from Caligula are very clear. I will not blow all my starting cash into his house cats.

No bioengineering dolphins to shoot laser beams out of their blowholes. Animals native to Australia are not eligible for my druid's companion. Dibs is not a term of bereavement. Using the dwarf of the battering ram is expected. Other siege weapons not so much. No giving a character a dumb name so he could pick fights over it later. There is a limit to the number of adjectives I can attach to an uppercut. No matter what it says, my intelligent warple sword is not getting rewarded with a candy bar. No matter what the rules say, antibiotics can't make a man's head explode. Despite precedent, if the travel gets rough, we can't eat the bard. Even if it fills the mission parameters, no machete killing sprees dressed like Carmen Miranda. Even more bad pun for a character name and I'm forbidden from playing in the furry RPG. I am not one Batman. Any character requiring the GM to tab more than ten pages of rules for reference is vetoed. And if we're playing in the Old West, can't spend all my money on leather, whips and barbed wire. I can't free the cannibals prisoners by starting a food fight with them. Venting non-essential crew to the void before payday is an unacceptable cost-cutting measure. No teaching halflings how to fly. My nega magician will not taunt the wage-mage, brayer-rabbit style. The power gamer would appreciate me not bringing the book with the role he is grotesquely abusing. A warning shot is not one that just wounds him. No using the halfling as a grappling hook. Starting a flame war on the internet is bad. Starting a flame war not on the internet is much, much worse. My halberd deer is not disarmed and dangerous. The words rock-arper will not appear in any of my wishes. Just because he has specialization and observation skills does that mean he likes to watch. And if we just stole all their alkaline chemicals, that does not mean all their base belongs to us. Cleaning out the dungeon means Morton is backing up a cement truck to the window. No starting a mosh pit in a leper colony. There is no such thing as a bad touch attack. If my rogue trader manages to arrive before he leaves, no cleaning up on the lottery. I will not forget to uncuff the pedophile from outside the car before driving back to the station. If it takes more than five minutes for the debris to stop falling, I need to pick a smaller gun. When told to distract a bad guy, that didn't mean by playing wham over their comm links. When told to distract a bad guy, that didn't mean by shooting the guy standing next to him. When told to distract the bad guy, that didn't mean by setting him on fire. Dungeons are not handicapped accessible. Before entering the dungeon, I will take off the I'm With Tasty Tabard. I will remember the incredible luck super power is illegal in Vegas. I will not start dating another character's arch enemy. I cannot start the game radioactive. If an enemy fails a stun check, that does not give me a free hit for flinching. Before I get it on with the green chick, I will make sure she is supposed to be that color. Before I sass the power gamer, make sure the other players got my back. I don't get any XP for anything I killed in a flashback. No amount of character points lets me start as the Beatles bagpiper. The point of the improvised weapon skill is not to see how many different things I can kill people with. Just crossing the fingers behind his back is not an option for my paladin. It's not a real way to kill somebody. Killing the orc horde by drowning them all at once is heroic. Killing them by drowning them one at a time is an alignment check. No making up euphemisms for death. There is no neurotic book of fantasy. Dodge everything while standing still is not a real spell. No following a minute behind gold leader and just shooting down Vader. Just because he starts every game in a tavern doesn't mean the barbarian needs rehab. One third of the elf homeland GDP does not go to haircare products. I don't get double XP if I kill the monster with explosive decompression.

No he cannot grant spells. Can't use the decanter of endless water for water skiing, the jacuzzi, or a wet tabard contest. Andorans are not closely related to smurfs.

Hello, I'm Bishop Mike McKee. Last week the United Methodist Church had a special called session of the General Conference of the Church. There was one purpose of that special called session and that was to find a way forward for our ministry with LGBTQ persons in our church. The decision made last week was a decision that really was similar to what we now have in the discipline regarding our ministry's LGBTQ persons, except it also included more penalties or ways of accountability for our ministry. Many people are very unhappy with the results. They expect it and they work for something different. And many of those persons are in the North Texas annual conference. Also, they're persons who are pleased with the results, but this just reminds us of the differences of opinions on this particular issue confronting our church. But I want to remind you, when it comes to persons, regardless if they're gay or straight, it's really not an issue. It's about relating to people as beloved children of God.  In fact, the discipline says very clearly that all persons are of sacred worth. I want to remind you that that really is the stance of the North Texas conference and of the general church. In the coming weeks, we're really waiting, though, for a decision of the Judicial Council that you have met this church. It's the legislation that was passed last week in St. Louis, constitutional. And we really do not know the effects or the actual wording of the legislation and what will be in the discipline until after the Judicial Council meets next month. So one of the things I want to say to you is, breathe. I know that seems to be a simple thing, but we are prone to make rash decisions when things happen dramatically. And so right now, we won't be making decisions. You may already be thinking about what you're going to do in response or even in reaction to what has happened. But I want to say this to every United Methodist person. We have much mission to accomplish in this region, and they're people who are depending on the witness of our church in order to deepen the relationship with Jesus Christ. To continue working with public schools in our region. To continue feeding persons, working with homeless, and continue to bring grace to people's lives, people who are hurting. A special word to those of you who are LGBTQ persons in our churches.  And if you ever receive a message that is somewhat different than that from a pastor in our congregations or laypersons, I want you to call me.  And I want to speak a word of grace and witness to your life personally. So let us all remember that there are many people who are hurting at this time. And I would like for you to remember that this wasn't about winners and losers. This really was about a time in which you tried to find a way in which we can live together in order to witness to the grace of Jesus Christ. God bless you, and may you continue in this great work of ours.


If we go see KDA community on Twitter a couple of days ago, we can see this tweet that rightfully sparked some confusion. We can see, check out my WeShall, a beautiful classic KDA graphical environment that will work on your desktop, tablet and phone. And what we see is, in fact, a desktop. And so people, people rightfully asked, well, is this going to be the future of Plasma? Is this going to be Plasma 6? Is this a KDA project even? And well, the answer is actually no, and let me explain why. And it's very rightful that there is some confusion on this, because KDA has this MauiKit project, which is basically a set of widgets that apps can use to build apps or even desktops. Then there are Maui apps, and those are KDA projects as well. And then there is MauiShall, which is this desktop, which is actually not a KDA project. It's a nitrox one. So MauiKit and MauiApps are KDA projects. MauiShall isn't, which is confusing to be honest. Even like the promotion group, when this tweet went out, didn't have this whole idea clear. But let's see why that happened and how does this MauiShall actually work, because I tried it and I've installed it. So let's open it up. It's this one that you're going to see in a few seconds. And it actually looks not bad at all. I want to do some remarks on the layout. First of all, I do really like the layout of it. So we've got apps on the bottom, pinned apps, and then these two buttons to this one show all apps that are nicely in each category. I do think that this is a very nice way to show the user the applications divided in categories, showing a preview of what is in that category. A bit like iOS, if you know what I mean. Then there is a button to show all open application and clear them. We can see later on how it looks with actually apps on it. And then pinned apps. We've got on the bottom left a notification, a clock with the calendar. And on the top right, well, first of all, this arrow to show and hide things, which I think is nice. And then we've got this overview for the system tray, this other overview for the system tray with the sliders. This one with the players, if you're playing media like, I don't know, a YouTube video as an example. And here, quick restart and shutdown with this red bar, which to be honest, I'm not sure what represents maybe the battery, but it isn't actually synced with my battery. Could be just a mock up for now. I think that the layout as presented is very nice, especially because I can actually, oh, it actually how to hide someone. That's very nice.  And of course, it doesn't work, but it used to work now. I think I just have to exit from full screen. Sorry, give me a couple of seconds to fix this. What is this? Sorry, it's actually meant for tablet or phone mode, but now it actually works. I can drag from the top and all of the settings in that part of the screen all together will slide in and same happens here, which is very nice. I can also drag from the bottom to see all available desktops. I can even add them, even though it doesn't update immediately, but it works. I can see all of the apps, search through them. And if I open one, like, I don't know what can I open new chat? Come here, please. Oh, I don't have my wee apps right with me. Now it's in tablet phone mode. So it will actually open up at full screen. And if I drag from the bottom, like this, I can see the app I'm using and this app with a blue notifier that is open. And if I click here, I see this app with a close button, clear roll show desktop settings. I think that, to be honest, this particular screen is the least convincing, but apart from that one, it all looks very nice. And I fully agree with many design decisions that were made. I personally absolutely love this top right overview of what's going on. Let me get back to full screen. This one, I think it's super nice. Okay, I managed to, okay, I need to drag actually with now it works. Nice. You got like the Wi-Fi and you press here, you can see all of the networks, the Bluetooth. If you press here, all of the Bluetooth's here settings, this actually changes night mode, but right now it's in alpha stage, so it doesn't work, but you don't expect projects to actually work 100% on alpha stage. Same for the sliders. Right now, they're just not doing anything, hopefully, because otherwise I'm screwing up my microphone, but it's a mockup. And I totally understand that sometimes when you start such a difficult work from scratch, it sounds very easy to do. I also have a couple of criticism. Well, first of all, I gotta say that this bottom bar on desktop mode always shown is a bit too much, maybe. This one lets you open up the actual desktop, like I've shown you before, but if you drag it on the left and right, it also lets you switch between virtual desktops, which is nice. It's very touch-oriented. It's a bit buggy, but it's alpha, that's what you would expect. But always showing it, well, if you're on a desktop device that doesn't have touch screen, doesn't make much sense. Also, feed slow is not preserved, so if I go to the very top right part of the screen and click, well, this one doesn't actually open. In theory, and Plasma does this, the click should get already directed inside of the applet. Same goes from the top left corner, and it does nothing. Also, it's very easy to do a very pretty layout when you're not actually implementing most of the features that I don't know, Plasma have so many features that it's very hard to do a very good looking simple layout. And this is my opinion of the shell. I do think that it's really good. You can even drag and drop apps from here to here. Very nice. How did we get into this situation where there is this shell, which is called the Maui shell, which is not part of KDE, whereas Maui kit is? What happened? Well, it's not very clear to me either, to be honest. And the idea is that Maui and Nitrox, Nitrox is an actual distribution to simplify things a bit that ships with Maui shell, Maui kit and Maui applications. Well, they are close to KDE, but they don't always want to be part of KDE in some things. So I'm very happy that Maui apps are part of KDE, but I also see why something like a shell, which would be a direct competitor of Plasma, if we want to put it that way, wouldn't be part of KDE. However, KDE actually already has another shell other than Plasma. I don't remember the name, but KDE actually has two desktops already. I think that the one, I don't remember the name, is one that refuses to use QML and just QT widgets, I think, if I remember correctly. And this for sure will not replace Plasma. Probably won't influence the development of Plasma either, simply because this is codewise rather different from Plasma. It bases itself on another kit, which is Maui kit. Plasma isn't based on Maui kit, but different components. And also the ideas, although I like them, I like this one, I think they're good, but they're very different from what Plasma is doing. So I don't know how much inspiration we can take out of it. However, and let me close this. One thing that I would like to do is implementing that nice dragging from the panel brings up the full representation of applets inside of it. So if I start dragging from bottom right or bottom left, well, if I drag from bottom left, I would expect kickoff to pop up. Whereas bottom right, I would expect like the system tree and the calendar. I think that could be a good idea. Of course, one needs to see if it's easy to implement and if so, actually do it. And that was actually all for the video. So thanks for watching. I hope I cleared up a bit the situation with this Maui shell. And honestly, let me know what do you think of it? Because, well, it really looks nice on the screenshots and stuff. And I think it has some potential. Of course, personally, I will continue using Plasma, but that makes sense since Maui shell is in the early stages of development. But it's very nice. It adapts nicely to being both a tablet and phone or desktop shell without even restarting it or using a different anything. It just works, which is super nice. And I like it. I honestly think it's a good project. So let me know your thoughts and see you tomorrow.


Hello and welcome to Newsclick. Jammu is facing significant tensions as the number of ceasefire violations are increasing and communal tension in the area is also going up. So to discuss the situation in Jammu, we have with us today Anuradha Bhasi in Jamwal, who is the executive editor of Kashmir Times. So Anuradha, welcome. And the Kathwa rape case and then these attacks on the Sunjwan camp in Jammu have both contributed to this rise in communal tension. And firstly looking at the Sunjwan camp, the Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly speakers said that the Rohingya Muslims are responsible for harboring militants. But looking at the population composition of that area, what do you think of this statement? Look, there is around Sunjwan camp, one side of it, there is a substantial Muslim dominated area. The other side of it is completely Hindu dominated. And in that pocket itself, there are a lot of these Rohingyas. Maximum number of Rohingyas are in Jammu and they are living there. But I think, without any evidence, it is a preposterous statement. First of all, the Sunjwan camp is highly fortified, an area. And they should be first looking at the security lapses that have happened by the army, within the army, and their own intelligence failure rather than blaming other people. It is a possibility that some people are involved, it could be this area or any other side of the area. So you can't, I mean, without any evidence, you can't be blaming any community, which I think is irresponsible because Jammu and Kashmir is already a very sensitive state. Jammu has faced a lot of communal polarization in the recent past. And so I find these statements extremely irresponsible because they enhance the threat of communalization in the area. And already, when you say Rohingya, of late in the last few years, Rohingya has become a euphemism for Muslims. So whenever you want to start an anti-Muslim tirade, so you start demonizing the Rohingyas who are actually one of the most dispossessed and deprived communities, they're not even citizens of the country, they're refugees. And they come from extremely poor background, economically poor background. And secondly, as you said, the communal tension in the area is increasing. And we've also seen that with the Kathwaren case. Because I think historically, the communities, Gujar Bakarwal and Hindus have existed with relative peace with each other. So do you think this communal tension, is it possible for these to just emerge on their own? Or is there some sort of organized effort behind it? There has been organized effort. And in fact, it has been going on for a long time. The initial period, which is sometimes beginning of 2000s, was very silent and we didn't realize it happening until 2008. The Ammanath Land Road, when the states divided between Jammu versus Kashmir, is when we actually started realizing that it had been existing and Hindu right wing organizations. When we looked back and we tried to probe what was happening behind the scenes, we realized that the Hindu right wing organizations like RSS, Bajrang Dal, VHP, they were making inroads into and several other fringe outfits. They were making inroads into various areas and pockets of Jammu region, across Jammu region. And also gradually entering post 2008, from the towns they started shifting, not just shifting, but enlarging their base towards the rural areas as well. Earlier, I mean, it was in 2013, we had cases where communal violence happened in villages. So there were signs that this is existing. We have people talking about Shah Khas opening up in areas which were unknown, I mean rural pockets, even the border belt. So this is something very unusual. This Kathua case as well, what do you think of the coming up of this Hindu Ekta Manj? What is the motive behind all of this? The Kathua case, I think it started as a very localized. If there is one report, and I'm quoting a report which quotes the crime branch of Kulis, which is investigating the case, saying that the rape and the murder was committed to scare away the Gujar population. Now, if that is true, there is a possibility that the motive behind this wasn't really Hindutva, but there was a local caste-based divide. This happened in a village which is upper caste dominated, Hindu upper caste dominated. And they're pretty influential people with connections, well-connected people at the local level. And most of them have some BJP affiliation or RSS affiliation. Many of them are not saying all. And these Gujjars have been, they are nomadic people, the Gujjars and the Bhakarwals. They have been coming for years. And these, the local villages, the Hindu upper caste people have been leasing out land to them for staying for a few months, the winter months when they come down from the hills. Now what happened was that these lands are not, they don't have ownership rights to these lands. These are custodian property, which is evacue property is a property which was owned by people who left in 1947. You know, since JNK stands disputed, people who left from this side to the other side of Jammu and Kashmir, those properties are being protected by the state as evacue property. And settlers who came from the other side, they were allotted these lands, but they don't have property rights over this. They can only, they only have usership rights. Now this land was being leased to these people at very, and the rates were being increased subsequently. So there had been a conflict there, the land conflict was there, the forest rights conflict was there. And besides in recent years, there's been a lot of demonization of Gujjars trying to encroach the areas, bringing in terrorism or radicalization, and there's been a lot of propaganda going on. So that might also have worked. There might not be a direct influence of initially, of any Hindu right-wing organization, but there was an indirect influence to it. However, I mean subsequently, when earlier the police failed to investigate, in fact, even for a week that the girl was missing, the parents tried to lodge a report and the police was procrastinating over the entire matter. When her body was found, there wasn't, it was only when he went cry, reached the assembly session, which was on, and some leaders took it up, and that it became a major issue that the police started investigating. Now from there on, there was first one SIT created for investigating the case, then the second SIT came in. So investigations have been transferred from one hand to another as soon as they start investigating. So the investigation is passed on to another one. So is there somebody trying to manipulate or sabotage of the investigation? Now when crime branches started investigating the case, two SPOs have been arrested and now the voices for handing it over to CBI have started increasing. And the Hindu right-wing has openly stepped in to defend the rapist. This is something from a gender justice point of view, I think unacceptable. And besides, it's also causing a lot of communal polarization. So finally, moving on to the increasing number of ceasefire violations. The violations are going up we see and we also see that the government, the BJP is doing everything it can to defend those. And now as you know, there were reports of sedition charges being filed against people protesting BJP. How are people in Jammu viewing these violations? They are opposing them, but then what is the current status of those? There isn't a very strong, I think there is a very strong peace constituency, but the voices for that within that peace constituency are not as yet very strong enough.  There are people who had been so taken in by the Modi wave about four years back. And soon after that, that the ceasefire violations began and there was a lot of shelling and a lot of loss of civilian lives post 2014 in 2015 and so on. There at that point of time, people were saying, you know, I think there is a realization even in those villages that the war cannot be a solution. So they've been asking for now, they're saying permanent resolution. Final solution, final peace in these areas. In the other, you know, along the line of control, and those people have borne the brunt of the hostilities for the last 70 years, there has been a realization that it was only during the lasting of the ceasefire agreement that in 2003 and the sanctity of the ceasefire being maintained in the next one decade is when they tasted a bit semblance of normalcy for the first time in their lives in 70 years. So there's a realization that these kinds of CBMs, you know, like opening up the roads or the trade route and ceasefire violation is what brought development to their doorstep for the first time in their lives. And they've been saying all along that India and Pakistan should resolve their dispute amicably through negotiations, even within Jammu, you know, the city which is far off from the border and there are increasing voices, but they're still not loud enough.  I mean, I've been speaking for peace for a long time. And there's a constant demonization of propaganda going on or she's pro-Pakistani or she's pro-Kishmiri. So these kind of, I mean, I've been facing for a long time. So that's all the time we have today, Anuradha. Thank you for speaking to us as the situation in Jammu progresses. We hope to come back to you again.


Our next speaker is Margarine Bacala of Mothers Act Criminal Justice Reform. Hi. First of all, I want to thank everyone who was involved in including me on this panel. I'm very grateful to be here. Mothers Act for Criminal Justice Reforms was born out of my desperation and isolation that I experienced when my son was being sucked into the school to prison pipeline. It began in middle school, sixth grade, until when these schools were very nurturing of him. But middle school, everything changed. And just from a background, like any Mothers, my son is a person of color. And like many Mothers, I have a son that was traumatized as a very small child. And if you look at our prison population, that includes the majority of people who are there. People who are colored and people who have been traumatized. And also people who use substances as a result of their trauma and their ostracization. I went through, with my son, I went through his expulsion and so through criminal hearings for truancy because he wouldn't go to school. I went through tons of teachers' meetings trying to figure out what was wrong with him.  He didn't want to go to any of the schools. So then he was out on the street doing things that the other people, other kids who were out on the street were doing, and getting in trouble. So he really did follow the whole prison, school to prison process. He's incarcerated right now. His crime against the country is possession of four grams of substance. And our government thinks he should use it, so it makes him feel a lot better when he uses it. Anyway, so I know that there are 2.3 million people incarcerated in our country. That means there are at least 2.3 million mothers. And there are fathers, and there are other relatives who are at the same loss that I was experiencing. And so my purpose was to be there for people who needed an organization or people to turn to when they didn't know where else to turn. And it's been very rewarding and gratifying to be able to reach a hand out. I don't know that we've changed the incarceration at all, but I'd like to think that we've helped change some people's lives for the better. So in inner cities, you had high unemployment, no sign of opportunities, and hopelessness. And there were drugs, and that was a good way to make some money. So you have unemployment, and you have drugs. And so all of a sudden, the war on drugs and incarceration start ramping up. And the result of that was it got a whole lot of unemployed people off the streets. And it also, at the same time, provided jobs for rural communities, all these prisons. Do you know how many prisons there are in Texas? 909. 109 prisons. So, you know, caging people provides jobs for some of the, it lowers the unemployment rate, right? And it provides jobs for people who want that kind of work. I mean, it's just, to me, it's horrifying. At the same time, the state government or the government was cutting funding for education and increasing funding for prisons. This was intentional. And in Texas, an ACLU report that I read recently said that we spend seven times more on the prisons than we do on higher education. It's an effort. Yeah, it's a sustained systemic effort to keep this in place. And there are people, I know that Senator Menendez, somebody from his office is here tonight, I know that he's working. He genuinely wants to get this changed. And we have to get these people who want to keep this in place out of office. Who's keeping them there? The sheriff's units, the guards' unions, prosecutors, the whole legal system. And I refuse any more to call it a justice system. I have to change the name of the group. Whether it's after criminal justice reform is not justice. It's criminal legal reform. Because there's no justice in this. But until we get these people out of office, it's going to continue. Excuse me. Another thing is that we have to get trauma-informed care in our schools for our kids instead of discipline and criminalizing them when they misbehave. We need to work with every single group we possibly can in whatever little way we can, whether it's writing a letter, whether it's making a phone call, whether it's sending a tweet, because letter writing campaigns, Twitter campaigns are really effective. So there are lots of things that all of us can do, maybe not working on it full-time, but it's just an action a day or an action a week. We can break this down. Thank you.


What is up, you guys? Welcome back to another one. If you're new to this channel, I'm Gold Pony. I do new car truck SEV reviews on YouTube. And today we are in the brand new 2023 Hyundai Tucson courtesy of Jack G and Volvo Hyundai in York PA. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. And so we are in this one today because I'm just going to tell you off the bat. This is an IIHS top safety pick plus which is the very highest destination. So in terms of safety, it doesn't get any better than the Tucson. There is a ton of space in this thing. It comes with America's best warranty being five years, 60,000 mile bumper to bumper, 10 years, 100,000 miles on the powertrain. You also get three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance as well. So that's going to save you some money there. So ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering field, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all that, 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 as you can imagine, there are several different trim levels for the 2023 Tucson. First one being the SE starting at $26,450. SEL, which is the one we are in today, starting at $28,050. XRT for $33,275. N-line for $33,325. And lastly, the limited starting at $35,710. That was all pricing though for the front wheel drive configuration. If you wanted to add all wheel drive, you can do that. Simply add $1,500 then to any of those prices. But regardless of trim level that you go with, the power plant on the Tucson is actually going to be the same. So powering the beast is a 2.5 liter direct injected in-line four cylinder, putting out 187 horsepower at 6,100 RPM, 178 pound-feet of torque coming in at 4,000 RPM. Power sent to front wheels or all wheels through an eight speed automatic with paddle shifters for the limited trim level only. So we don't have them today, but I did want to mention it. Zero to 60 time is going to come in at approximately 7.1 seconds, with MPG numbers coming in at 26 in the city, 33 highway for the front wheel drive, 24 in the city, 29 then on the highway for the all wheel drive, taking regular unleaded fuel. But so though, before we do any kind of fun acceleration tests here in our Tucson, I wanted to mention to you guys the drive modes. There is actually a drive mode toggle switch located directly behind the shifter. It will include normal sports, smart and snow, essentially adjusting things like the shift points of throttle response and the steering sensitivity. So now having got all of that out of the way, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and put it in sport driving mode. Let's find a straightaway here and let's see how quickly we can get our new 2023 Hyundai Tucson here up to speed. All right, smidge bit of a rolling start, but let's do it here. It's loud. All right, just got done driving the G70, so it's nothing compared to that obviously, but should have any issues emerging onto the highway. Quite honestly, zero to 60 to 7.1, it did feel like that. It did feel a little bit slower. So not the quickest thing in the world, like I said, but again, you shouldn't have any issues emerging onto the highway. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always, braking is equally important.  In the back, 11.8 inch solid rear discs. As far as a 60 zero stopping distance goes, that is going to come in at a respectable 124 feet. Quite honestly, that's pretty much par for the course. I've seen SUVs come in as high as 139 feet, but 124 is pretty much average. So there's nothing wrong with that. Braking feel is, it's actually kind of on the firmer side of things, which I don't mind. So a lot of times with SUVs, it's kind of on the looser side. So again, pretty much on par for the course there. The touching on suspension and handling, independent McPherson strut front suspension. In the back, independent multi-link rear suspension, gas pressure eyes, shock absorbers, of course, as far as ride quality goes, as probably the first thing I kind of muttered to myself when I first started driving this one is this thing is a pretty darn smooth ride for what it is. So I expected to feel a little bit more of the road, but quite honestly, the Tucson kind of surprised me. So very smooth ride for this thing, not having an adaptive suspension or an air suspension like you find in luxury vehicles, of course, but as far as steering feel goes, it tends to lean a little bit on the heavier side of things. It is a heavier steering feel than my Hyundai Sonata I drive on a daily basis. So I do actually kind of like that. As far as cabin noise goes, I am going 50 miles per hour right now. You guys can probably tell there is a little bit of engine noise, but other than that, there isn't a whole lot of exterior wind or road noise. So like I said when I hit the gas originally, you do hear the engine a little bit, but everything else is pretty much on point. So no issues there. And that may be due in part because there is an acoustic laminated front windshield coming standard for all trim levels across the board. You don't always get that on all other manufacturers out there. So I do want to emphasize that touching on visibility. I can see 100% perfectly fine out my rear view mirror. So definitely not going to have any issues there. And if you wanted rain-sensing windshield wipers, you can get them. They do come standard on the limited trim level. Essentially what that is is when you're driving down the road and the Tucson detects any kind of mist or rainfall, it's going to automatically turn on the windshield wipers for you. So it's kind of like automatic headlights. Definitely a very convenient kind of little feature there as well. But that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review guys. Let's go ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2023 Hyundai Tucson. All right so here she is you guys. The new 2023 Hyundai Tucson finished in intense blue is the name of our exterior color in case you were curious. But as always let's go ahead and start up front on the front grille here. There is a large dark front grille that will come standard but my very favorite part, integrated or incorporated LED daytime running lights. So to the sides there of the front grille, they're actually daytime running lights. So I absolutely love that. It's like nothing else on the road right now and it really gives the Tucson a distinct or unique look comparatively speaking to all other SUVs out there right now. So huge fan of that. In case you were curious, where's the headlights? They're actually just below those LED daytime running lights. The headlights are going to be down below here. It's actually front air curtains then to the side. But headlights again down below, they're actually LED headlights that come standard across the board as well. So no halogens on this thing. Wonderful there. So added illumination at night. Automatic feature coming standard on the Tucson as well. Meaning when it starts to get dark in at night, those headlights will turn on automatically for you there. Automatic high beams though also coming standard. That isn't always the case on other manufacturers out there. So when you have your high beams on at night and it senses a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's going to automatically dim them back to low beams. Then when that vehicle is gone, it's going to automatically bump it back up to high beams. And as far as that Hyundai emblem up front, I did want to mention this. It's either going to be finished in chrome like you're currently looking at of course, or a dark finish to kind of tie in with that front grille. So two different options available there. But that pretty much rounds out the front end of the Tucson. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. All right. So been now making our way to the side of this one. Roof rails will actually come standard on all trim levels across the board. Now, if you're looking at those crossbars up there, they are not standard. They are an accessory available by the manufacturer that Jack Tionbaldo added onto this one. So I do want to emphasize that, but they look pretty darn good up there. I will say that upper silver window trim that kind of ties into the floating roof line at the C pillar there. So definitely a very unique look to the Tucson there as well for your privacy glass, of course, coming standard. But one of the things I really like about the Tucson, it kind of reminds me of the Elantra a little bit is the Z shaped crease on the side of this thing. So you guys kind of see the front and rear doors have that Z shaped crease and definitely gives it a more sportier look in my personal opinion. And again, the Elantra has the same thing. So it kind of ties together pretty darn well with the Elantra there. Then take a look at the side mirrors though. Body colored power adjustable side mirrors will come standard. They are also heated with LED integrated turd signals. That is pretty cool there as well. Taking a look at the wheel setup, 17 inch alloys coming with the S E and S EL trim levels. However, I will say there are some optional wheel setups for the S EL like we have today, but 19 inch alloy is essential in coming on all the other trim levels including the N line, the XRT and the limited each with their own unique design. So they are going to differentiate themselves dependent upon the trim level. So overall very good looking side profile here. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the back of the Tucson. All right. So now since we are around to the back of this one looking all the way to the top there, you will find a gloss black shark fin antenna regardless of which exterior color that you go with on the Tucson. So that is pretty cool rear spoiler with an integrated brake light of course as typical SUV fashion there rear window wiper. Where's the rear window wiper you might ask? Let me show you guys. It's actually tucked underneath that rear spoiler there. So it's going to kind of assist with rear visibility there because it is tucked away. And I know the suburban does that the Tahoe does that. So I actually personally like that because again, the alternative is the rear window wiper affixiated to the rear glass and that does impede visibility slightly. But speaking of the rear glass, Hyundai logo is not actually on the vehicle, but it's incorporated into that rear glass. So I did want to mention that it's a little bit different than most other manufacturers out there. So that's kind of a unique design element there. Of course, you do have LED tail lights that's going to come standard on the SEL trim leveling up if you wanted them. One of my favorite parts I remember mentioning this last year the diamond pattern indentations found on the rear bumper there and it's kind of a 3D effect. So it's not a smooth effect, but rather 3D. So I did kind of like that. And of course, there is a single exhaust outlet tucked away underneath there. So having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip. So now since we are around to the back of the Tucson, when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, I will say it is a hands-free power tailgate for the end line trim leveling up. However, again, there is an available package for the SEL that we have today that you can actually get that as well. And there's actually a button on the tailgate itself kind of towards the bottom there. There's actually a button on the key fob and there is a button by the driver's side left knee then as well. But once I've been up, cargo capacity comes in at a pretty darn impressive 38.7 cubic feet behind that second row. For comparison sake, that actually the Hyundai set of Fae comes in a little less than that. 72.1 cubic feet. Honda CRV a little bit more at 75.8 cubic feet. And the Toyota RAV4 substantially less at 69.8 cubic feet. So in terms of cargo space, only behind the Honda CRV. So a decent amount of space back there. And of course, there are some levers to fold down those rear seats in the back. So quite a bit of extra cargo space then if you needed it. You can find grocery bag hooks back there. There is cargo lighting. There is a 12 volt power outlet. There are tie down anchors. There's a cargo cover available. And if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor, there's a little bit of in floor storage, but mostly it's just the spare tire under there, which I personally prefer as opposed to fix a flat. So pretty much everything you could possibly want back there. But then making our way to the rear legroom that is going to come in at 41.3 inches. So for reference, I mean even six feet tall, plenty of space for me back there again for comparison sake. Hyundai Santa Fe actually a little bit more at 41.7 inches. Honda CRV at 40.4 inches. So more than that Toyota RAV4 37.8 inches. Also of course more than that. So decent amount of space for the rear legroom. But one of my favorite parts about the rear seats, there's actually a little place to hide the seat belt if it were to get in your way. So I thought that was pretty cool. You can of course recline those rear seats as well. You don't always get that in SUVs. So I wouldn't mention that. There's a rear center armrest with cup holders. Of course, there are some vertical rear ventilation. A lot of times you'll find horizontal, not a big deal of course, but kind of interesting design element there as well. There is dual rear USB charging ports that come standard heated rear seats. You can actually get that on the limited, actually come standard on the limited. I should put it that way. Front seat back, matte pockets of course coming standard and LED interior lighting. I did want to mention it because we have a package that gives us that today. So I always like LED interior lighting and that's available for the rear passengers there as well. But then making our way up to the front seats, cloth seating coming with the SESEL and XRT trims. There is a leather cloth combination for the end line, leather seating then coming with the limited trim level. And again, a lot of this stuff is optional on the SEL that we have today. Eight-way power driver seat on the SEL trim level and up that comes with power lumbar and heated front seats then as well. Limited trim is going to give you ventilated front seats, but also memory settings. So if you wanted those two, go with the limited trim. But overall, in our particular configuration we have today, plenty comfortable. Can definitely see myself taking a long road trip in the Tucson for sure. So plenty comfortable seating here. Then take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather wrapped for the end line trim level and up. And it is available for the SEO with a convenience package, which by the way is what we have today. In case I didn't mention it already. So heated steering wheel then coming with the limited. So definitely like the design of the steering wheel though, there is some black plastic. I probably would have swapped out for something else kind of towards the upper portion here. But anyways, then make our way to the startup. Let me start by showing you guys the key here that you do have your Hyundai logo on the one side. And when you flip it over lock unlock that button to pop the rear tailgate there. And there's actually a remote start that's going to be the hold button that is available to you. There is keyless entry with a push button start for the SEL trim level and up. And if you wanted smack pack where you can essentially pull yourself in and out of a parking spot with a limited trim level. But in this case, I'm just going to put my phone in the break and press that silver engine start button located just to the left of the infotainment screen. And so one of my favorite parts upon startup, there is a 10 and a quarter inch digital gauge cluster for the end line trim level and up. And again, optional on the SEO with the convenience package. Therefore that is what you guys are looking at right now. I love it because when you change driving modes specifically from like sport to normal or something like that, it completely changes the look of the gauges. So with the sport driving mode, you kind of had this carbon fiber look with some red hues. And then you put it in any other driving mode. Essentially, you go back to that white and silver look, which is really good looking as well. Honestly, but there are some steering wheel mounting controls on the right side of the steering wheel you can use to kind of toggle between everything. So outside temperature, how many miles you have left the to hit empty tire pressure information when you need your next oil change or safety information, pretty much everything you could possibly want because it is a digital gauge cluster. So it is completely customizable. So gotta love it. But overall interior quality, touching on that a little bit, there is a panoramic sunroof for the limited trim level. With the convenience package that we have today, you can get a power sunroof, which is what you guys are looking at. Of course, alloy foot pedals coming with the end line, alloy door sills coming with the end line as well. And of course, case you haven't noticed it already, the end line is the kind of sportier trim level. In case you were curious about that, automatic climate control coming standard, dual zoom climate control coming with the end line trim level and up. It is optional for the SEO. And again, we have that package option wireless phone charger for the end line trim level and up optional on the SEO, homely controls and line trim level and up optional on the SEO yet again. Overall interior quality is pretty darn good. It's actually not that bad. I like this little kind of soft cloth feel just above the passenger side glove box. And I like how they kind of incorporated the air vents kind of into the design of everything. It ties together with the doors just above the passenger side glove box above the infotainment screen. So it's kind of just surrounding you. So I like this silver design that they have there as well. Just in front of the shifter, you have two USB charging ports, a 12 volt power outlet and of course your wireless phone charger. If you get that to the right of the shifter, you have dual cup holders and of course a gloss black finish, which is very easy to clean. I have that in my Sonata actually.  So like I said, overall tier quality is actually plenty fine for me. So no complaints here. Then making our way to the infotainment screen, and this is going to differ dependent upon the trim level that you go with. And so there's an eight inch color touchscreen display that comes standard on all trim levels, but the limited. So if you were to go with that limited, you will get a 10 and a quarter inch color touchscreen display. But here's the thing. Bluetooth and audio streaming either way, Android Auto Apple CarPlay either way. But if you go with the eight inch screen as opposed to the 10 and a quarter inch, you're actually going to get wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay. For whatever reason, you don't get it on the more expensive higher end screen, but you get it on the eight inch screen. So I'm almost tempted to go with the eight inch screen kind of thing because you get the wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay. So that's pretty cool.  So that is pretty cool. You also have quiet mode up there. So essentially, it cancels out the rear speakers limits the front speakers. So if the kids are sleeping in the back, you're less inclined to wake them up. That is pretty cool. You can check out your climate control settings up there, of course, as well, and your radio information. So when it comes to the sound systems, there are two of them. There are six speaker sound system for the SESEL and XRT. And then you got an eight speaker Bose sound system for the limited and the end line trim level. So that is not the one we have today. We do have the six speaker sound system. So what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today. And let's test out the six speaker sound system that we have with us here today. Actually a lot better than I expected. Honestly, I think I've tested the Bose sound system in the Tucson before. Maybe it was last year, but six speakers, it kind of sounds like six speakers, but it sounds a bit better than most six speaker sound systems that I test out. There was a decent amount of bass there actually. So actually don't mind the six speaker sound system. That could probably get by with me, so I don't mind it. But anyways, last thing I want to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen at least is when you do put the Tucson in reverse, you will find a rear view camera coming standard across the board. Pretty high definition as well. And if you're going to go with the limited, you will also get a surround view monitor giving you that bird's eye view as well. But as always, that is going to lead us into safety. And so let me first start with the best part, IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus, which is the very highest designation given by IIHS, as I alluded to at the beginning of the video there. Front side side curtain airbags, of course, in the back you got latch, aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats, rear child door locks, tire pressure monitoring system. But the fun stuff coming standard on the Tucson will be forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, driver retention monitoring system, and rear occupant alert then as well. Then if you were to go with the SEL trim level and up, you were going to add, in addition to that, a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert and adaptive cruise control with stop and go, which is a brilliant system with any Hyundai or Genesis because it does actually keep you kind of centered in the lane as opposed to most of the manufacturers that I test out. So I will say that. So overall, what it comes to my final thoughts of the Tucson, I like the unique styling specifically LED incorporated lights into the front grille. I think that's brilliant. Great safety, of course, as I just mentioned, digital gauges are absolutely wonderful as well. This is a lot of stuff you can't find on other manufacturers. Like you can't get digital gauges on the RAV4 or the CR-V, for example, and this unique styling like I mentioned up front. So that is pretty cool. So I was running for improvement because I wouldn't have minded seeing multicolor ambient lighting. I think that would do pretty good in here and Hyundai and Genesis does that on a lot of their other vehicles. Also for the Tucson specifically rear wind of sunshades, I think it would be pretty cool in the Tucson, at least on the limited trim level. So Hyundai may be considered that for the future. But anyways, let me know what you guys think of the Tucson in the comments section below and that is about it for this one. You guys, thank you so much for watching.
