Hi my name is Marc and welcome back to the channel. Today we're talking solar cars. Solar energy has become one of the cheapest way to produce energy and it's also very safe and very clean. So if solar is such a good option why aren't we driving solar cars yet? Are solar cars a hoax or are they our future? My answer is going to surprise you. Especially since we were one of the first to buy a Lightyear Zero for which production was recently cancelled. We also have a reservation for a Scion by Sono Motors and that organization is in deep financial problem. So let's dive into the video. The first piece of the puzzle is the energy we need to drive the cars. Cars are often driven during the day to work but stand still 93% of the time. They are charged at night. But most energy is generated during the day by solar power for example. If you want to store that energy you need tremendous investments in storing and transporting the energy but also in charging infrastructure. Since the average commute in America is about 41 miles a day or 66 kilometers you need to be able to charge your car 66 kilometers during the day. If you're able to charge more than the daily usage you would actually be able to deliver it back to the network or store it in your battery packs. This would drastically decrease the amount of investments we need to do either in transmission of energy or energy storage. This is assuming that we have decent energy infrastructure to begin with. In a lot of places we don't have a great electrical grid. For those places the solar powered cars become portable power stations. These mobile power stations would be a game changer and it all sounds great on paper. But does it survive in the real world? Let's move to the second part. Can a solar car generate enough power? And to answer that question we'll look at the three most popular solar powered cars. Let's start with the biggest and baddest of them all the light year zero. The light year has about five square meters of solar panels and charges a theoretical 70 kilometers during the day. But that's theoretical. I think in the real world it will only do about 22 kilometers. So that's only a third of what we need. The second car we're looking at is the Seon by Sono Motors. This car charges about 16 kilometers during the day. But in real world situations we expect it to be about 12. Which is way too little. The third car we're looking at is the Aptera. It has about three square meters of solar panels. It will charge about 40 miles during the day which is more than 60 kilometers. But if we translate that into real world usage it will be about 13 miles. Which is again only a third of what we need. 21 kilometers. The third question is how do you realize energy efficiency? And that is really simple for cars. The car needs to be light and it needs to have low drag. Which means it flows through the air without a lot of resistance. Lightyear does this really well. They have a history in solar racing and they have a lot of experience with new materials making the car very light and having very low drag. Aptera takes this even further with an even lower weight and an even lower drag. They do this by only having two people in the car where the Lightyear can transport up to five. Seon is the worst of the bunch but they can transport up to five people and the car is a lot cheaper bringing us to price. The Aptera will set you back 26,000 euros transporting two people. The Seon will cost 30,000 euros transporting up to five and the Lightyear Zero was supposed to cost 300,000 euros. Both the Seon and the Lightyear started out being cheaper but got more expensive during the production process and the Lightyear eventually never made it into production. So where does this lead us? Are solar powered cars a hoax? And the honest answer is they kind of are. There's currently no solar powered car which you can drive for your daily commute on solar energy. Period. But the second question is are solar powered cars the most likely way forward and the honest answer is yes they are. First off it would cut the investments we need to do in the power grid in half. Solar powered cars can charge themselves partly and once they are connected to the grid they charge a lot faster because they are more efficient. Second they push the world forward. They use new designs, new materials and new types of components like the motors they use and we need those innovations to push our world forward. None of this is created by the existing car brands. It took Tesla to move the car industry into the EV world and it's going to need brands like Apptera, Seon and Lightyear to pioneer the next step in this evolution. The final question is will these new car companies make it? Sonomotors is in serious financial trouble and they're re-raising funds and Lightyear cancelled the Lightyear one and we stepped out last year as investors when they dramatically raised the price for the car. We won't be driving a fully solar powered car anytime soon but if companies and governments who are making the transition to clean energy are serious about their ambitions we should be driving them in the future. Thank you Voice for making these videos possible and thank you all for watching and I would love to see you in the next one. Cheers!


Hello, come in come in. So we saw Steve Martin and Martin Short at the Hollywood Bowl How are they? Fantastic funny hysterical energy levels off the chart, especially Martin Short, which is amazing when you consider Martin Short 72 and Steve Martin 77 and they are just running all over the stage Dancing has been 77. Yeah Do you know that's a line of Martin Short's from the show? He's made fun of him. Yeah, he's always. Yeah, he's always looked that way But one of my favorite things Steve Martin said So a few years ago saw him and he said one of my favorite lines He said from a few years ago was if you take anything from tonight will have you arrested and then last night He said we want to make this a memorable evening for you, which is why we've locked all the restrooms It was so fun just two old guys telling corny telling corny ridiculous jokes. It was a lot of fun Yep Hey, welcome back to our stupid right here. It's a Corbin. I'm Steve Martin. Oh gross and You can follow us on Instagram Twitter juicy content. Thanks for a patron Thank you so much patron and Vikram can be the same I don't know maybe you could check if the background for that has dropped yet because they've been teasing it He on he has been teasing it on his I don't know if the it's officially dropped yet. Couldn't tell you I will check I'm going to the gym after this and I will see if it's there because if it is I want to listen to it while I'm working out Anyways, but today a new to lugu trailer dropped just a few days ago. Do tell do tell it is called Bimber a Sada Read the rest of us and the other names connected to that are Nanda muri Kalyan Ram Vashist Harry Krishna K NTR arts NTR arts. What is NTR? I don't know. I don't know if that has to Junior's production company. Is that what that is zero clue? Okay. It is to lugu, but I I don't know you guys can let us know I don't think you know anybody in it wouldn't surprise me with that name He's I don't think he's in it, but it could be I guess his production house, right? So you guys can let us know in the comments below, but I think it's a big epic as well. So cool Let's just get into this bad. Yeah, let's go bad. Be left to it. Wait, hello Yes, no, I'm sorry Whoa, nice shot What just happened worlds are gonna collide time space continuum You They're going for the the massive bottle go big or go home kind of kind of feel ish. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, go big but the some of the VFX weren't as good as even more recent obviously the I'm sure our had a lot more money and Absolute that drum and and all these ones had a had a lot more money than this one And it's also the trailer. It also doesn't look like this one didn't have a lot of money No And it's also the trailer sometimes they're able to improve on things and they just get their trailer done But that they improve on those visuals before release, but yeah, it looked like I don't what was the The time thing time travel these people were in a village and it was in the same time as a modern world No, I'm pretty confident. This is this is at first. I thought it was like a reincarnation thing when they shifted so hard Okay, but I think it's time travel. I think there's something going on with supernatural power That allows somebody somehow somewhere to go and I think it's been basada. Maybe even He's maybe it'd be cool if he's chasing a villain who can travel through time and so they they fight Through time and they happen to come into our time space continue them and then maybe pull someone back to their time I don't know, but there's a lot of time travel stuff going on Written and directed by Malady Vasishta and forgive mispronunciation is only Only credit only credit. Wow such a massive film and it's your only credit I Sorry, I was looking up into your arts. Yeah, if it was staff would show you I doubt it if it Yeah, no, sir. I doubt it. But yeah, it looks big And if it looks massive done correctly, it could be really really cool and just like a RRs about all bodies of the world, but obviously you have to do it correctly. Yeah, also, what is it sometimes? When like they do that deep voice it looks like their audio is like distorted You notice that I yeah, I do and it is I don't know because I know they obviously they do dubbing obviously overdubbing But why is it distorting? Because it's so big and so heavy, I don't know it shouldn't distort, but it does it sounds like you're mixing it Why should why should it be distorting like that? Yeah, that's a good question. Is it just a style thing? It could be a it could actually be an effect on it No, it's not an act by actor Nandamuri Kalyan Ram. So no, I don't know No, I just looked them up it is not I'm guessing this person is in this film though. Yeah, he is yeah, yeah, so it's his production Yeah, looks really I mean it looks cool. It looks like it could be a lot of fun, but obviously It would have to be done. I think correctly and Also, it's it's kind of strange that like such a big thing Maybe we're just dummies and we don't know who any of these people are in their big big massive stars, but I don't recognize Yeah, I could the main people couldn't very well be you guys know better than we do we could just be newbies Yeah, just like a two years ago, right? We did not know I don't know who Rom-Tron Yeah, we didn't I don't know a big is that why they're in right or our art. We're a called rur. Exactly Oh, it's called Have you seen like remember one way? Oh, is it is Rithik in it? We went to go see Uri and I proudly walked up to the ticket counter and said yes, what's two for you are I?  Yeah, I did. Oh well Consentually it's always always consensual. It reminds me of that time. I was going to the bathroom and I thought to myself This isn't my bed. Anyways a lot of visuals. I thought looked actually really really cool There were just some like obviously the alligator at the end or any time like they were flying over a city You could tell it was really computer. Yeah, the first city entrance was it wasn't all of it though a lot of it looked actually like similar to more more good than yeah, who Bali looked and that kind of stuff if that's what I'm feeling I'm feeling everything's gonna be stylized in that way including the acting I think it's gonna be very Bahubali ish because obviously this is to lugu and obviously they're gonna copy what's been popular was the style of Bahubali's that film like the old epics Already popular great question or did that make it I mean I know they've been around cuz obviously we saw that classic that had yeah And clearly there was nothing like Bahubali as far as like when it first came out The size and scope of it But but did now that it's done so well have people started to copy that genre because I know people like it I Don't know. Yeah, you tell me that's why I'm asking Anyways, let us know what you thought about the trailer and what should be the next to lugu film that we should watch please down below


Hello. So frontal and parietal. We've already been here. We've done this. The frontal bone is here and your visuals are nice because they divide it up by color, just like rainbow marble, rainbow skull does. You can see that the orange bone is the frontal bone and you can see it all the way around. Parietal bone is this big, giant blue one, green in rainbow marble, rainbow skull. Two very straightforward and easy bones. Now, frontal bone has just a couple of structures, bony landmarks that we're going to know. One of them is this flat space in between the eyeballs. Can you see that? Go ahead and touch it. This space right here, I don't know why, but I like this landmark and it's called the glabella. And you're going to have your notes, so I'm going to let you write that down otherwise we're all going to get frustrated. So this is your glabella and it's a marker on your frontal bone. The other structure that you're going to need to know about your frontal bone is that there is a sinus. There's a frontal sinus embedded in that frontal zone, bone, frontal bone of your whatever. And it's actually found, okay, so check out this guy. Here's another plastic skull, but this one's all white. This is more what your skulls look like in our bone boxes. And so if you tip your skull down and look in, right about here on the frontal bone, you actually will see some holes and like hollow places. And that's your frontal sinus. Your frontal sinuses are just embedded in the frontal bone itself. That's it. How is that for easy? Do you want to just take your quiz right now and call it good? That's awesome.

unconscious after that when he was conscious he came out of his time travel experience so till now that was his time travel experience all the things we were reading that was not reality it was a time travel experience he visits professor Deshpande then now for explanation who does he visit Deshpande who is he he is also a professor upon his visit he learns about reality being different from through our senses that when he visits Deshpande then Mr. Deshpande tells him that what we feel is very different from that reality and not just one world there are so many different worlds on this earth so we are living in one world there are many other worlds that exist here so he tells us that the reality we live in we can may have many manifestations or dimensions there are many manifestations we manifest that God give me good marks in the board God give me a new one I want to go out with my friends these are all manifestations so physicists believe they believe that there are many worlds now we have told you that physicists say that there are many worlds existing other than ones we see through our senses that the world that we see through our senses apart from that there are many other worlds physicists understand that and they also read them they have studied a lot on this along with that they explain who is explaining here Deshpande Prof Deshpande is explaining all these things to our Prof Gayatunde what he is saying is that Gayatunde transitioned into another world as he was presently in a coma and he is saying that you were in a coma and where did you go you traveled to another world due to an accident because you had already had an accident similarly the last thing he was thinking about was the battle of the water so that he went to that era only and that is why he goes to that era and he saw was all in his mind and everything that we have read was in his mind there was nothing other than that so this is the chapter you have to go thoroughly if you want to and if you really want to have just here I have told you all the points there will be no problem all the important things that can be asked in your exam I have discussed here so I can conclude similarly that this time travel this whole event you have to read all these things very carefully only then you will be able to learn all these things by heart so if I say in the evening what happens in the evening the troll hits the truck and at that time he was thinking of the theory which theory was that that was the best of a theory and its implications were for history and that is why that incident what we have told here that an accident happened because of that he went to coma and when he was reading about that incident because he had to go to give speech and he was preparing to give speech so he was reading about that and that is why when he went to coma and that time travel when he goes to coma in the past then all these things occur in his mind this whole thing you will understand don't worry now we are moving ahead with our question answers but before I move ahead with my question answers I have a question that do you like the way I teach you that you like to teach me and you understand if yes then definitely you will like this session will comment and share with your friends sharing with friends is your duty I have shared my knowledge related to this chapter now it is your turn to share with your friends now moving ahead I will ask you some questions and these questions you have to answer in the comment section the first question is the question says whom did professor gaitunde enquire about entering the Forbes building after entering the Forbes building who does he enquire Vishal gaitunde or Mr. Vinay gaitunde next question what book did the professor slip into his pocket before leaving the library when he wants to go to the library which one does he slip in his pocket bakar, English literature, newspaper or money moving ahead which theory as explained by Rajendra states that a small change in any situation can result in a shift in a behavior is it a quantum theory is it a theory of relativity is it a big bang theory or a catastrophe theory I have told you about the catastrophe theory so you tell me your correct answer in the comment section moving ahead with the long detailed answers which can be asked in the exam what according to Rajendra triggered professor gaitunde travelled to another reality when we talk about Rajendra professor gaitunde must be thinking and what was the catastrophe theory the battle of panipat as well professor gaitunde agreed he was thinking that when he had an accident he was thinking and he came before the truck and he came in front of the truck then Rajendra remarked that his thoughts might trigger his neurons and his thoughts triggered which could transport him to an alternative reality and that is why he went to alternative reality what was a vital piece of evidence that professor gaitunde had with him to show that he had really experienced a different reality what was that proof so here he said professor gaitunde had a page from the history book bahushabhachi I told you about this that they secretly put a paper slip down they steal from the library if you like something, then divide the papers similarly here professor did that is what is in the answer that he was reading in the library in Bombay and he actually had really experienced this different reality because he gets out of his pocket why was the consequences of the battle of panipat important for the peshwas here you have to tell why the consequences of the battle of panipat were very important so the victory established the supremacy of the Marathas in northern India and later over the rest of India East India Company was confined to some areas near Bombay, Calcutta and Madras so here we have divided this chapter is also done from my side but you have to go in detail for this chapter for that you really should know how science fiction works and you have to be confused just simply rely that you have to read the questions from which way you have to give you write your answers by your own on this note i just want your smiles in the comment section and definitely will let you know more but before you go do tell me in the comment section which chapter you want i will tell you that as well bye bye and thank you


Thanks to Aiden and Josh for some fairly fascinating insights there into I suppose the long-term future trends in the food industry and where we're going. It's absolutely vitally important for all of us collectively to try and understand where we're going and particularly as bankers, stroke investors in the industry to get the knowledge and get that understanding about what are the current trends and directions of the industry, what are the trends and directions that we need to support and where we can assist and help both the initial producers but much more importantly the value added side and the value added food side. I think there's a perception fuelled by some of the media out there that the banks in this country all they ever did was fund property. I mean Bank of Ireland and indeed the other banks have been involved in funding the agricultural sector and indeed funding the food sector through many generations and indeed through many iterations and when we look at some of the work that perhaps we did with the co-ops initially and IBI corporate finance, our corporate finance arm would have assisted with the flotation of most of the co-ops here in Ireland and the business models are indeed with Greencore and the sugar company and the business models that those companies had when they started initially and when you compare them with what John Maloney in Glanby is talking about earlier this morning and you compare them with where they were when they were initially floated it's quite clear that it is absolutely necessary for the financial sector and the financial industry to be in a position to understand and to support and to help these businesses develop because without that funding or without that support it is not possible for these companies to grow and expand and I suppose what we have seen over the course of the last 30, 40 years is that the banks have tried to get that understanding, tried to get that knowledge not just at the initial food producer at the farmer level but much more importantly at the food level and at the co-op and the corporate level to help those businesses develop and expand and I suppose conferences like today and one of the reasons that we're keen to be associated with today and why we're trying to support today is that it provides us with an opportunity and indeed everybody else here with the opportunity to try and understand, identify the trends in the marketplace, see where the industry is going and see where the business is looking to develop and then much more importantly see how we can help that and see how we can be in a position to assist that, to try and understand as Aidan is talking about there as to how important the sustainability issue is going to be to consumers to try and take some of the metrics or some of the measures that Josh is talking about there as to what consumers are looking for because so many of the producers and companies that we are looking at are looking to sell into those European markets, they're looking to sell into the multiples and they're looking to sell globally and it is equally important for us as bankers and in terms of helping to invest in those companies that we understand what is happening in the marketplace so that we can help identify the winners and much more importantly help identify those companies that we think are not necessarily on the right track and have those conversations and discussions with them. So as I said that is a key reason for our support here today. I suppose in looking and talking today to a group such as this it would be slightly remiss of me not to talk a bit about the Irish economy I think we got some stats there from Josh where he talked about where the consumer was and what the consumer was thinking. I think what we have seen is a very very seismic and dramatic fall in the Irish economy as we all know over the last number of years we're probably looking at a GDP back from about 187, 188 billion down to perhaps 156, 157 billion a fall in the GDP probably the region of 16 or 17 percent and that has been very difficult for consumers that has been very difficult for the country as a whole but we would be of the view and I think that has been has been endorsed perhaps by yesterday's ex-checker returns and we're beginning to see some of those green shoots that the economy if it is not quite turning it is certainly bumping along the bottom at present. We would like to have the optimism that it is turning we are certainly seeing certain sectors have improved and certain sectors looking very much towards the future but by and large there isn't the sustained all across the economy that that turn that we would like to see are that upturn but certainly there we are we are certainly at the bottoming outstage. I think if any of you had a read Brendan Keenan's article last week in the independent in the Thursday supplement Brendan tends to do a bit more of a reflective piece and he talked about the three things that were lacking for the economy at present the three C's we were looking for confidence we were looking for consumption and we were looking for credit. I think the key thing that is lacking is that confidence and I think it's interesting when you look at Josh's statistics that he puts up there about where the consumer sees themselves at present and by and large the consumer is hugely fearful. The average person out there the average Irish person is continually bombarded by these negative headlines is continuously being bombarded by threats of doom and gloom and as a result is saving itself and saving the economy further and further into recession this paradox of thrift that we call it we are now at the situation whereby in 2006 2007 the Irish consumer was saving about two or three cent of its after tax euro it's now saving the Irish consumer is saving about 15 or 16 cents so the savings ratio has pushed up to that 15 or 16 cent and that's for the 1.85 million people employed in the economy there's a huge talk about the unemployment level but there's still 1.85 million people employed in the economy and what we need to get is that we need to get that confidence back into the economy that confidence about the future and then we need to get people getting out there and spending and I think that that's absolutely key and vital to trying to regenerate this economy I think Michael Noonan was somewhat derided in the media by indicating I think it's about 10 days ago or 12 days ago that he wanted consumers to get out there and start spending but that is absolutely what we need the consumers to do I think there's been a lot of talk about the banking sector and where the banks are and there's still I suppose some details to be worked out but I think one of the things that can be clarified and will be clarified by the end of the month is that the banking sector will be will be fully recapitalized by the end of July and we will have one of the most one of the strongest if not the strongest capitalized banking sector in Europe I think we would believe the banks are being overcapitalized but what we do think is important is that the market both the consumer market and the international markets believe that we can draw a line under the banking situation and that the banking crisis in Ireland very expensive and all as it was and I'm not taking away from that point that the banking crisis in Ireland is now is now at an end I think what we can then do is we then turn to the overline the underlying economy and ask ourselves where we are going on the underlying economy and as we've seen yesterday with the Exchequer returns by and large the Exchequer returns are coming in on budget obviously some variations and that would happen in any business on a month-to-month basis but coming in on budget and therefore the plans which were which the government is looking for to reduce the deficit look at this juncture as if they're going to be met it also means that unlike perhaps some of our far eastern Mediterranean neighbors that we're going to get a big tick from the Troika when they come on their next visitor they're going to say hang on guys you guys are doing a good job you're doing all the things that you said you would do and that again will be a further boost for confidence the other area where we've got we have confidence and we should be continue to generate confidence is the manner in which our exporting sector is is holding not alone holding up but expanding and growing and as we have a balance of payments surplus and a current accounts surplus where we're in the situation where effectively we're exporting and generating more goods and services for the external market then we're importing and that the country is now on a sustainable basis that is hugely important to the long-term future of this country and that is something that that we as an Irish people can take great confidence in and hopefully can build on that's what the international markets when I when one is in London you're talking to investment banks and you're looking at how people are seen in Ireland the fact that we have a balance of payments surplus the fact that we have taken such a very strong force and strong measures and trying to internally devalue devalue and not being able to do while not being able to devalue the currency is being recognized and there is a very strong belief that as a result the Irish economy is in a much different situation to the Portuguese or to the Greek or indeed Italian or Spanish economy should they head down that that should they head down that path and when we look at the export sector and when we look at the key sectors that are doing well in Ireland the two major sectors that are doing well in Ireland are the export sector and the agricultural sector when we look across our book the two areas look across our lending book the two areas of the domestic economy so to speak that are doing much better than anywhere else are the export sector as I say which is growing probably about seven or eight percent on top of last year and the agri sector the agri sector has had a very impressive 2010 the agri sector in terms of the farming pure farming business and producer went into this downturn into this recession with relatively light debt loads perhaps having much more painful experiences in previous downturns are having much less certainty about the future but the agri sector went in with relatively light debt levels compared to the rest of the economy also has had an absolutely outstanding 2010 and I think Matt and the Farmers Journal have produced some stats or have reported on the CSO stats which would look at the farming sector incomes probably up about 28 or 29 percent on prior years now that's after a fall in 2009 I acknowledge but what we are seeing is that the agri sector is doing very well and has and has done very well and I suppose one of the core messages that we want to get out today not just here but in in general is that the Bank of Ireland is very much open for business and is very keen to lend there are lots of people who are in the media and other commentators who are saying the reverse and I at every opportunity I get we are determined to try and nail that on the head we have no shortage of money to lend to the Irish economy and we are very much open for business consumer and business applications are down over 30 percent here to date in terms of what we are seeing is a reluctance on businesses and people to invest in their businesses and we are seeing a reluctance for people to come forward with their ideas and that has led to its very very significant reduction in credit demand but much more importantly has also led to a deleveraging of businesses as businesses are paying down debt and indeed consumers are paying down debt as they are fearful for the future. One of the areas as I say where we have seen a growth we have seen a growth in the pure agri side on the lower level on the farmer level we have funded so far this year in the in the five months to date funded by seven thousand acres of land in relatively small lots for farmers which is about a 30 percent increase on last year's we're beginning to see farmers invest in their bit invest in their business probably in anticipation in the dairy side certainly of the abolition of quota levels and also with a bit more confidence about the future given the state of commodity prices and given the state of the markets. In terms of our book our book in Ireland in the business banking side where we call it business banking and agri we probably have about lines about one point four billion with only a billion drawn to the the farming side on our corporate banking side we are looking at a book now which in the corporate banking side we look at the larger food companies in the larger co-ops of over two billion which has grown almost threefold during the course of the last ten years so in terms of our emphasis and our expansion and our focus on that there's been a huge emphasis from the bank on that side with a view to trying to see how we can help that sector expand and grow and it's one of the indigenous sectors that can expand and grow and our corporate finance side as I've indicated has been involved in a large number of the track transactions initially on the agri side but more recently on the food side whether that's working with Tato foods or whether that's working with green core or others who are more looking on the food side as opposed to the pure the pure agri side in terms of the growth areas and I suppose what we've heard today there from from Aden and indeed from Josh there's there's trends coming down the track there's new things happening in the marketplace the consumer is changing the marketplace is continuing to be more internationalized and we need to get ready for that and I suppose there is but there's four things that we need to do I believe as a bank to try and assist that I think firstly we need to demonstrate our appetite I think secondly we need to reorganize our sector specialisms in the bank I think thirdly we need to expand and educate the marketplace about the existing products that are available and I suppose finally we need to try and identify what additional products we could make available for both farmers and indeed for the food industry in terms of a demonstration of our appetite I'm delighted to be in a position to announce today and we will be announcing at this conference the launch of an additional 200 million fund for the agri and food sector an additional lending fund for this year of an additional 200 million which we want to get out and get lent into the agri and food sector in 2011 we think that it's important to put a big number on that to demonstrate our commitment and what we are determined to do is to help farmers expand and grow we anticipate there could be investment of up to 500 million in the pure farmer side of the business in 2011 and we are prepared to try and support that to the tune of 200 million during the course of 2011 some of you may know we already have seed and venture capital funds out there which are directed towards the tech side and this is one of the things that we are going to talk about we've about 49 million of seed and venture capital funds which are developed at food science med tech ag tech whatever and that is an area which we are looking to expand and we run those in conjunction with enterprise Ireland and we will have additional an additional tranche of venture capital funding which we'll be announcing in the course of the next 10 or 15 days which again is directed at probably more the food science end of the business but is certainly directed at trying to demonstrate that we are keen to assist these new and innovative businesses get off the ground and direct and expand their operations and we have already advertised and are in the in the processes of appointing a new head of agri and food in the business bank for Bank of Ireland it's a role that we think given the importance with harvest 2020 and given the importance with the cap reform coming up and the new demands that they're going to be in the agri sector that we beef up and we staff up on that area and we will be appointing subject to finding the right candidate we're in the interview stage appointing a new head of agri and food over the course of the next four or five weeks as they these are our steps that we in the bank are taking to demonstrate our commitment and to try and demonstrate our willingness to assist and support this area of the Irish economy I suppose what the second area where I think we need to assist and we need to develop is that we need to relook at the way in which we organize our sector and our sector specialism in the bank I suppose we historically we would have had an agri sector we'd have had a tech sector we'd have had a software sector and increasingly what we're seeing is all these sectors are getting blurred and merged in together and this is why we find ourselves with clean tech and med tech and agri tech and food science and one of the key things that we are looking to do now is to reorganize the manner in which we approach that market because increasingly we are seeing the new business startups and their requests for innovation and their requests for finance are coming not from the traditional silos of individual business but they're coming from that merger and amalgamation of the different areas and that's the second thing that we are committed to doing in business banking and as I say with those seed funds which you have out there in conjunction with enterprise Ireland is looking at ways in which we can bring those seed funds and those seed tech funds to the agri and the food space because we do believe to try and capitalize on some of the issues and plans and ideas that are out there whether it's in terms of measuring carbon footprint and farms or whether it's in terms of perhaps getting new ways of having healthier foods or packaging associated with food there will be huge opportunities and we have plenty of graduates and plenty of innovators and entrepreneurs out there who will be looking to try and set up businesses to capitalize that and they are all spin-offs spin-offs from the agri and the food sector here in Ireland I suppose that the third thing that we need to do then is to look and expand the market and educate the market about the products that we that we have out there far too many of producers and far too many of the farmers are still looking at the single the current accounts the deposit account and the lending products as opposed to looking a bit wider of field particularly with expanding businesses at how they can use invoice discounting perhaps to grow and expand the business are indeed used trade finance products and the third area that we will be looking at looking to commit to the market is trying to see as to how we can educate that market around our products and how they can expand and utilize more innovative ways of financing their own trade and their own expansion and finally the last area which we are committed to doing and which I talked last night at a seminar with Matt is trying to identify new products for the sector particularly around the commodities risks that these businesses farmers and indeed for co-op businesses are agri businesses are carrying around the volatility which we're seeing in commodity prices both on the input and the output side and ways in which we can generate products and come up with products and ideas which will enable businesses to take some of that risk farmers and businesses to take some of the risk out of their sector and out of their own out of their own business so as I say I do believe that the agri sector and the food sector is vitally important it's in very good health at present in the Irish economy it has a huge benefit and huge role to play in the expansion and the return to growth of the Irish economy and we in the Bank of Ireland are absolutely committed to doing what we can to support that growth and the announcement of our funds here today is a major step in trying to demonstrate that commitment as indeed is our sponsorship of the conference today and I look forward to working with you all in the industry in the weeks and months ahead thank you very much


Helo ydych chi'n gweithio i chi'n gweithio i'r sefydlu Everton Show, 35 oed, 3 oed. Yn ystod, mae'n ystod i'r 1rhyw prymu Lleodraeth Cymru i'r Hwydusfield Towns John Smith's Stadium. Rydyn ni'n gweithio'r Llywodraeth Cymru i'r U.S.M. Finchfarn, a'r Llywodraeth David Weir. Gweithio'n gwneud i chi'n fwrd ac yn ystyried yma i chi'n gweithio'n fawr, comella, i chi'n gwneud i chi'n gwneudio i chi'n gwneudio. Rwy'n gweithio pob gydigol arall, dafyn ei fod yn mynd i chi oherwydd gweithio, bydwb i chi y troi wiltio, ac roi wnaeth hynny'n taeth. Yn dweud, nid oedd i chi'n gwneud i chi i hefyd oherwydd gydigol arall a walch y lludio i'r Lleodraeth Pwyllun. Mae ei wneud i chi ddim ni chi'n gweithio i chi? I'm not working at the minute. I was at Forest and I left just at the turn of the year in January so I'm doing a master's degree at Manchester Metropolitan University and I'm doing a bit of recruitment for helping my club with recruitment as well. So I'm busy and I've got four kids so I've got plenty going on but I'm not full time in football unfortunately at the minute. Are you looking to get back into management culture? I definitely want to be involved in football and I enjoy coaching, I enjoy being around the lads, I enjoy that side of it being out in the grass and trying to help and improve players so that's what I enjoy doing so just waiting hopefully for the right opportunity. It's such a precarious business though isn't it? It is and you get used to that once you stop playing and you become a coach you become involved in the other side of the game. I realise how temporary it can be and how quickly it can go from doing well to perceived as not doing so well and things change very quickly in football now and there's no longevity in any coaching positions or especially at the first team level. You were good at St Park on Monday night for the Newcastle game. It was a hard earned win wasn't it for Everton? One that we needed. Yeah and Newcastle are a tough team to play against you know they'd won four games on the bounce, they had a lot of confidence, they've got some good players and you know a top manager in Rafa Benitez so it's a difficult game to win and Everton found a way to win which is really really important. You know those games are difficult and you know the habit of winning is a good habit and Everton are settled now, you know the backfords settled, the goalkeepers settled and you can see the team starting to develop and I think there's definitely positive signs moving forward. Ian Snowden was alongside me in the commentary box as always. He made Phil Jagielke, his man of the match, would you go along with that? I would and I think you know if Jags brings a lot to the team he brings his experience, he brings his knowledge, I think he makes other players better as well around the bitumen I think. As I said the backfords settled now, Bansie's back fit which is great, Seamus' back fit which is great you know and you're adding the young lads in and around them who've got you know the energy and the legs and I'm sure they'll be feeding off the experience that those lads bring so I think I always found you know having settled back for and good partnerships you know goes a long way to be to helping your team to be successful. Well it was a very good win against Newcastle but one of the undoubted highlights of the night came before the game when Everton Football Club had the world's first ever virtual mascot. This fantastic piece of film tells us more. Jag's a blue so this is his dream to be a mascot. Your club that you support is a huge thing so him being able to do it is fabulous. Tonight we have a first, it's the first ever virtual match day mascot. If you look that is Jack, 14 year old Jack inside there who will be controlling the mascot from home tonight. AV1 is a telepresence robot. It works like an avatar so a child that is severely ill and has to stay in bed can control their robot from home and see everything, talk to their friends. Hello. It's quite huge seeing that little robot going out on the field, seeing Jack. I have no words. I mean Phil Jags when he come and he took him and put him under his arm and we heard him saying you know let's go Jack come on and then he was showing him to all the crowds and introducing him to all the other players, all the other mascots. It was just to get a bit choked up because it was just amazing. And that is the virtual mascot experience that 14 year old Jack McLindon will be now seeing at his home in Walton. It's a new technique and I believe it will really catch on. Seeing that you can imagine Jack actually physically doing it and being there and that somebody seeing Jack as Jack and not Jack as the boy in the wheelchair or Jack the boy with the oxygen seeing Jack as the boy and that is just everything to us. Tonight has been absolutely fantastic but it really has been an example of how technology can help a child like Jack be like any other child do something that he wants to do but physically he would be limited in doing that but with the technology he's been able to get out there and be a mascot for the night and have a really fun time. It's fabulous the effort and the time that everyone's put into it has been wonderful. This is a virtual mascot like Jack on the other end of the line life. He wants to finish off for the press conference and if you're listening Jack well done for the one they'll win mate. We don't really see Jack as disabled or need extra support he's just Jack and I think with school and with well child and now with this isolation he has been able to be Jack. Fabulous concept that isn't it? I know it is. It just ticks all the boxes obviously. There's a lot of kids out there who probably are unable to get to the game for unfortunate reasons and I think it gives them a great opportunity to experience what otherwise they probably wouldn't be able to do. Everton consistently get things like that spot on. Everton in the community is a prime example and now going back to when you were a player you always like to get involved in Everton community projects. I think it's part of your role when you come to Everton and you realise that Everton is a community club. The fans are based in Liverpool, the fans are locals and you soon get a sense of that when you come to the club and you've got to buy into it. I think the players who have been successful here understand that and I think that goes a long way to actually bringing on fuel success as well. It's part and parcel of the club being involved in the community and being involved in the city really. Well one of the biggest days in the Everton in the community calendar is its annual golf day. This year's golf day took place at Forby Hall Golf Club last week and here are a few highlights. I used to love the game of golf and having it in the community to do it right as well. We have one every year and it's absolutely fantastic but today you cannot beat this. Everybody is looking forward to it. The course is magnificent Nick and the weather. You can't get better than this. It's such a fantastic initiative that Everton do. We look at Everton as a club and we look at the first team. But when you look behind the scenes, the work that goes on and the hours and the hard work that people put in, you understand why when players come to the club they feel such an affection and it's so hard to leave. And it's not just about the club, it's about the wider community and Everton are very supportive in it and that's why they've won so many awards. You don't win awards unless you're doing great work. It's a fantastic charity. It's still growing in stature. I remember when it was in its infancy to see what it is today is magnificent and it does so much good in not just in Merseyside but even reaching out into the north west at times so it's easy to want to support it. You know, mate, Leon Osmond finished second in the individual awards.  Yeah, I saw him at the game on Monday actually so it was good to catch up with him and he was talking about that, he's getting a bit of golf in and it's obviously bearing fruit but I'm sure he'd been disappointed not to be first but I think he's getting plenty of practice. His media career is going well isn't it? Yeah, he's doing well. He's good on the radio which for obvious reasons I think that helps but yeah, he's busy, there's a lot of five lives stuff and he's got a good, he always has, he's had a good understanding of the game and a good interest in the game and you know that's coming to the four Kevco ban also doing a lot. There and it's good to have a couple of Evertonians in and around the media. Laiton Bain's reached a landmark recently when he played his 400th Premier League game for both Everton and Wigan. Some consistency there isn't it? Yeah, that doesn't happen by accident. You can tell Bain's is a great professional, he puts a lot into it. He's had longevity in his career at a really good level both domestically and internationally so that's a fantastic achievement. Everton are lucky to have him, there's no doubt about that. He's a great player and he's a great lad and he's brought a lot to this club and to Wigan over the years. Well that's just about it for part one of this week's programme. Don't go too far away because coming up after the break, plenty more from David Weir. We'll also hear from Idrissa Gay and we'll start the countdown to Saturday afternoon's visit to Huddersfield. Sorry, welcome back to part two just reading David Weir's autobiography there, which is a good read. Did you enjoy putting it together? I did, yeah I must admit I enjoyed it. It is time consuming but you do bring back a lot of memories and you challenge yourself. I'm not the best at remembering small details and games and things so it's interesting when you go back and you actually remind yourself of some of the things you have done in the places you've been and it kind of jogs your memory a little bit. So it's really good to enjoy it. Yours is a really good football story because you didn't take the conventional route into professional football did you? Was that a conscious thing or did it just... I probably wasn't good enough at the time to take the conventional route being honest so I had to find another way of doing it and my way was going to America. Four years scholarship which was great both in terms of football and in terms of life in general. I grew up and I saw the world and I came back probably better prepared to play football. So I came back and then started in Macrea when I was probably 22 years old at the time and first game was against Duncan Fergson, first professional game was against Duncan Fergson. For Falkirk? For Falkirk against Dundee United so every time I see him he reminds me of me. You must have played at a good standard in America? It was, yeah I did well in America actually. All the Americans are athletic, the facilities are great so that really helped me so I developed as a footballer over there and we played at the top level in college. We got to the final four one year and you know we were a successful team and it was a great experience. It's got to travel all over the states and met a lot of good people and still keep in touch with many of them. I'm not overly familiar with the town of Falkirk but it was a big culture shock, a bit of a culture shock to swap America after four years and come back and play for Falkirk. Well I wasn't planning on playing for Falkirk to bonus. I came back with a view of playing professionally, that was my plan and I came back to my home just to get a base and then go and I was actually going to go to Leeds on Trial to hopefully get a contract there but in the meantime waiting for that trial I went to train with Falkirk and I was there a week or so and they offered me a contract so I had the decision to make so I ended up deciding to sign the contract and stayed at Falkirk for three or four years and played a lot of games. You know with hindsight it was a great opportunity. And then you got a good move to Harthead Midlothian? I did, I went through there, the manager who was at Falkirk moved on at Harthead gave me the opportunity, Jim Jeffries to go through there and I had a couple of years there as well. We won the cup which was great, Harthead hadn't won the cup for a long long time and great memories of that and it's actually 20 years this year since we won the cup so there's a reunion plan for that. Gary Nesmouth was in that team as well so. As a teenager? As a baby yeah so it'll be good to see all those lads again as well and you know that's how football time flies and 20 years ago it's scary. Was it always part of your plan Dave to try your luck in the Premier League? Yeah I always wanted to get down to England as I said initially you know I was hoping to go to Leeds on Trial and it never quite worked out but as my career developed I always had the you know one eye on England and the challenge that brought and I started to play for Scotland when I was at Harthead and playing against lads we were playing in England you hear the stories of the grounds that we were playing against and the things that were happening down in England it was an exciting league and I'd been in Scotland for five six years so I probably needed a change. And it probably helped that Walter and Archie knew all about you anyway even before they signed you they knew what they were getting? I think so yeah I'd played against them obviously when they were at Rangers and I knew them as well I knew I was getting good people and I knew I was getting people you could trust and I was a Rangers fan as well so to come down and work with Walter and Archie who were Rangers lads. The legends was a great opportunity but you know Everton as a club was enough for me but the fact that they were there was a big bonus. You talked to Everton straight away didn't you? I did I loved it I was excited at the prospect of coming down I felt really lucky to get the opportunity I knew Everton were a you know a historically a massive club I enjoyed the city I loved the city I still do and it was a great fit for me I think you know Scottish lads coming down to English clubs I think there's some clubs suit them better and I think Everton's definitely one of those because of the nature of the club. Some exciting times weren't they? There was yeah it was at the start it was difficult you know there was challenges in terms of staying in the league so that was difficult and then obviously we started looking towards the other end of the league and had some great experiences some really good seasons and you know a couple of adventures in Europe as well so there was a lot going on and you know behindside eight years and probably close to 250 games it was a massive part of my career. I loved talking to the 2004-2005 lads about that season because we got some early momentum and just carried it on. We did yeah we kind of we never were favourites really to finish where we finished we were never really everyone always thought we'd drop away and everyone you know kind of talked us down so there was a real sort of solidarity among the group to prove people wrong and to try and achieve what we felt we could achieve and you know to finally get that place and to qualify for what we qualified for I loved Liverpool was a you know that was a massive thing for the group and you know a great deal of satisfaction for everyone. I would like to recall the previous summer when we were in the process of losing Wayne Rooney and David Moyes really galvanised everybody that was left and that trip to Houston in Texas was the start of it wasn't it that's what the lads tell me. Yeah it was and you know we're still talking about that now you see you know you're still bumping the lads who were on that trip and you know you just have these times when things fall into place and there's obviously a little bit of luck involved but you've got to give the manager a great credit. For organising that and you know we went over there I've obviously had experience in America before I know you know how much you can enjoy it and how much is available there and you know the facilities were fantastic the social side of things were fantastic. The lads really bonded as a group and got to know each other and I think that was definitely the start of the success for that season. We saw Phil Jagielke walking out with a virtual mascot before something you never did but I know you were fiercely proud to be the captain of Evan. I was it was a great honour even now you go back and you know the captain's table and you see your name up there and it's you know the other names that are associated with Evan and being captain of clubs like that and I've been fortunate to be captain of most clubs I've been at at some stage so that's always nice but you know it's a great honour to be captain of Evan and the Premier League and successfully as well which is important to be involved in some good results some good games and you know and with some top top players. Well let's bring things right bang up to date it's Huddersfield Town versus Everton at the John Smith Stadium on Saturday afternoon with his take on that one let's hear now from Idrissa Gay. It will be not easy for us because in our way we don't have a good record now we just have to try and change it and we start maybe this weekend. David Wagner has done a great job there but they are still not safe can that make this game even more difficult because they are desperate for the points? Of course because there is not a lot of game now less and they will try to win this game and we will try to win this game too so it will be a hard game we have to be prepared because we just play on Monday now. Less day recovery we have to be ready for this game and don't think it will be easy for them. In terms of the end of the season do you feel you have to have a strong end so that you can build for next season? If we finish good this season it will be good for our mind and like you say to start building for the next season this season it's not still finished we have to finish at the best way we can. We know we have not the season we thought now football is like that sometimes it's hard sometimes you want something and you want it sometimes not so this time we just have to finish good and hopefully the next season will be better. For Huddersfield Town their remit at the start of the season I would imagine was let's hang around let's make sure we are in the Premier League next season. I think any team coming out of the Premier League in the teams this year have done well so far in order to be where they are so their remit will be to stay in the league and they look like they have a good chance of doing that. They have had some good results haven't they? It was the same last season they really pulled some results out of the bag in the championship and they weren't really tipped to get up last season as well so they've obviously got something. They've got a good manager, they've got a style of play, they've got a good work ethic around them so they've been successful and you've got to give them great credit for that. It will be a tough game on Saturday, Everton's first Premier League visit to the John Smith Stadium and Everton's away form has been a wee bit patchy this season just two wins and they will have expected more. Definitely and I think the manager has been very clear in terms of that scenario they need to improve and I think they have done recently. I think there's shown signs of improvement and it's obviously an area they need to work on but there's been improvement in the league position. You forget how precarious it was I think when Sam came in, how difficult it was and how worried everyone was at the time so I think to be wherever and are now and there's still improvement there. I think everybody will agree with that but Everton are in a good position now. So what do you do now then Dave? Do you just have to wait for the phone to ring? Is that what happens when you want to get back into management? Yeah I don't think you can wait for the phone to ring, I think you've got to get out and about and I'm doing a masters degree I'm studying which I'm really enjoying. I'm watching a lot of football, I'm helping a club with recruitment as well so I'm busy. I've got four kids as well who all play football and so I've got to run around with them as well so I'm not just sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. I'm trying to get busy and get out, meet people, see what's going on and try and educate myself a little bit as well. Your boys played for Wiggins first didn't they? It was kind of dropped into the first team in the Czech trade trophy so he got a bit publicity which I wasn't really happy about because it was kind of a little bit ahead of his time but he's doing well and he loves it and I'm happy with him. We wish him well, we wish you well too. I'll be full commentary with myself and Ian Snowden by the way from Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon and if you still haven't had your fill of football by Sunday go to Brenton Park at two o'clock on Sunday afternoon and watch Liverpool ladies play Everton ladies in the Merseyside Derby.

Hello, I'm Dr. Anjana Ravindranath and the chief medical officer at the emergency department of Dr. Malti Manipal Hospital Jainagar. Sprain or a twist of the ankle. It can happen anywhere. We've seen so many children and young adults come with an injured ankle and very often they don't know what to do when it happens. A swollen ankle can be rested. All you need to do is put ice pack at the earliest. Ice pack will help the swelling process to stop. Make sure the leg is not kept hanging down. Elevate the limb and come to get help so that we can decide whether we need to do an x-ray and take it further treatments. So we call it the rice advice. R standing for resting. Ice or ice standing for ice. C for compression applying crepe bandage and E for elevation keeping the limb up. The four steps which are very simple if you do properly can make sure that the simple ankle swelling which has happened because of a sprain does not become worse. What you must not do if there is an ankle sprain is don't try to rub too many painkiller gels and don't try to give massage. Don't hang that affected part for too long like if you are sitting on a chair don't hang the limb down for too long. Don't try to overwork the area. If you've got an injured ankle you need to give it rest. Don't try to run a marathon on that. Next step is try to get an x-ray or try to meet a medical expert so that you don't get further injury on that ankle.

A plain cloth detective is a man under many pressures. His life is lived in contact with crime. Most crimes involve money, sometimes a great deal of money. And it can happen that a detective solves a crime involving money, but somehow the money stays missing. Then he's on the spot. Ugly whispers start behind his back. And only he knows whether he is innocent or... There was money missing. Sixty grand to be exact. Tony Belmont and Two Hoods took it away from the summit's finance company by holding up one of their messages. But I thought I recognized the description the messenger gave to the leader. And I brought in talk. But I didn't bring in the money. Sixty grand's a lot of dough. So it was bound to be talk. Well, talk's cheap. And I wasn't surprised when I walked into the precinct house. Got a sour look from Sergeant Bronson on the desk. Hello, Bronson. What's booked? Hello, address sir. Don't be so enthusiastic. It's bad for your heart. I said what's booked? A couple of break-ins, kid stuff, no money in them. What's that supposed to mean? I wouldn't know, address sir. I want to see sloppy Peters. Where is he? You could look downstairs on the pistol range. Thanks, I think. I went down the splendid old stairs to the pistol range in the basement. Sloppy Peters was my sidekick. He usually dressed like a scarecrow after a bad winter. If he ate soup, Sloppy spilled it on himself.  Half the time his socks didn't match. But he knew his job. Down on the range, Sloppy was popping away with his police special. Hey, Sloppy, how ya? Hey, Sloppy, I said hello. I heard ya. Hey, what's eating you? Why should anything be eating me? Well, that's what I'm asking ya. Hey, hey, you're holding your gun wrong again. Let me show ya. Five in the black. Hey, Sloppy, where you going? But Sloppy Peters turned his back and walked out. I spent the afternoon going over the breakings, got back to the precinct in Eden. I was checking out. I had on a new outfit. 150 buck tanlin' in soup. Custom-made silk shirt. $50 two-tone shoes and a $10 target. But what was anybody to say? Clothes were my gimmick. It was my trademark. The newspapers even had a nickname for me. Nifty dresser. And besides, I said it was vacation time for me. I expected a comment on my new duds from Bronson. But he just looked at me and looked away. Hey, Bronson. Bronson, I'm talking to ya. Oh, it's your dresser. What do you want? Just a simple answer? Is Sloppy Peters around? Should he be around? Never mind whether he should be or not. Is he? I couldn't say dresser. I couldn't say. Maybe he's out looking for some missing dough. Yeah. Just what dough did you have in mind? Oh, I heard tell something about a payroll being missing. Somebody had to get his name. Caught the hold-up guy all right. But somehow the money got mislaid. $60 grand, I think it was. That's right. $60 grand.  Tony Belmont. So it was. So it was. It all comes back to me now. Congratulations. Too bad you didn't find the dough, too. What did you? Maybe we can finish this interesting discussion later on. So right now I'm looking for Peters. Any time, dresser. Any time. I turned on my heel and walked out. By now the talk was all over the precinct. And Sloppy had broken up with his old sidekick Nifty dresser because of this missing $60 grand and hold-up look. But I had to find Sloppy. So I started making the rounds. A little later I dropped into the Ace Bowlin alley on Tent Avenue to have a little chat with Ace himself. Yes, sir.   Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'll put on my dark glasses before I look at you. It's a new outfit. You like it, huh? All of this was Christmas. I just standing in the corner to beat a Christmas tree. Looks like money. Real money. Yeah, yeah. It does at that, huh? Say, here you're going on vacation tonight. That's right. Two weeks at the beach. You're coming back in two weeks, I suppose? Well, certainly I'm coming back. Why shouldn't I? Well, no reason. No reason. Unless maybe we came into money and decided to live here. Rich Hunker left me out of his will. He always hated cops. What's on your mind, Ace? Oh, not in personal aggression. But there's talk going around. Yeah, such as? Well, last week, Tree Hunt Rods, who left the summit finance company, got away with 60 grand. A clerk was able to describe one of them. That's right. I recognize the description. Tony Belmont.  You left sloppy Peters downstairs and handled Tony's single hand. You were alone with him 15 minutes? Oh, I spent 15 minutes trying to make him tell me who the two muscle men were who helped him. Why, anything wrong with that? Am I saying that was? But the talk goes around that Tony still has that 60 grand. He hasn't split it up yet. Tony isn't talking, of course. Tony never talks. But there's some people who think that 60 grand is still around. Well, of course it's still around. Everybody's looking my sidekick, sloppy Peters, thinks I got my mitts on that 60 grand and then latched onto it, right? That's the talk, President. That's the talk. Well, let him talk, Ace. Talk is one thing. Proving it is another. I left the ace bowling alley and went on making the rounds. A bar here, a dance hall there, all places where I might pick up a whisper of interest to a cop. At each place, I asked for sloppy Peters, but nobody had seen him. Apparently, sloppy had crawled into a hole and disappeared. It wasn't like him. I wanted to find sloppy. And I wanted to find two unknown muscle men who'd been in with Tony Belmont on that hold-up. Even if by any chance I was planning on taking a vacation from which I wouldn't bother to come back, I didn't want to leave those two hoods in the loose. I wanted them behind bars for a long time. Then in a pool parlor at night, I got my first move from Nick the Pick. A combo pick pocket and pool shock. Oh, that's not alone, Nick. Let me put the seven bar on his side pocket. Hey, nice shot. Now, Rumble, as you're looking for your sidekick. You see him? Right ball in the end pocket. What? Answering in words of one syllable? No. And what's your interest? Nine ball in his side pocket. I never mess... Neither do I. Now, what do you know about sloppy Peters? Oh, that was a guy. What did he say? Ten ball in the end pocket. What did he say? Luigi's bar and grill half an hour ago. Thanks. How much? He started down the dark side street for Luigi's bar and grill. Trail was getting hot now, too hot. Because the red neon sign that said Luigi's was 50 yards ahead of me when footsteps scuffed in the doorway just as I passed, something jabbed into my back and a voice said, Okay, close horse. Stand quiet with your hands up. I'll give you a chance to see how you like the loads of yeast back home. Just a moment. We will return for the sack. It was a gun in my back. There were two men behind me, a big one and a little one. I recognized the voices. Phil whipped the little one and Wheezy blamed the big one. Wheezy took my gun and then frisked me. 50 bucks, that's all he's got. The dough ain't here. What do you expect? Did he be carrying it on him? They could have 60 grand in his pocket? He's got it hid someplace. Hello, Phil Wheezy. So you two metal giants with the ones in on the finance company hold up with Tony Belmont. That dresser will do the talk. He laid a trap for me, huh? You knew I was looking for sloppy. Peter, see you left word, he was in Luigi's to get me to come this way. All right, since you feel so much like talking. Talk? About what? About where you hid the stop. More stuff. Let me slap his ears, Phil. That'll make him shock. I'll slap your nose. Professor, we know you got that 60 grand hid someplace. You know more than I do. Okay, you're asking for it? Now let me clip him on top. I'll clip you. Just keep your eyes open so we ain't interrupted. Okay, Phil. Okay, but he's got to talk. He'll talk. He'll sing like a quartet. Now listen, Professor. I'm listening, but so far I don't hear much. We know you got the dough. Tony Belmont slipped weight on a grapevine you took. You can fool the police commissioner, but you're not putting anything over on us. After that, Belmont, you managed to hide the payroll loot someplace. Now where is it? Suppose I say I don't know. In that case... We can keep this up all night, you know. The question is, can you take it all night? What about it, Professor? Okay. Maybe I know where the money is. Okay, then. Since you know where it is, suppose you tell us. I, uh... I hid it in the junkyard behind Belmont's Roman house. The junkyard? Yeah, Phil, there is a junkyard. Right out the back way and down the alley. That's it. I locked Belmont in the closet. See, I wrapped the dough in a newspaper, and I went down the back way while sloppy peas waited for me out front. Then I hid the money. He went back and got Belmont, and I took him down the front lane. You cops, they're all alike. The only difference between you and us is we admit we're crooks.  Now can I clip him, Phil? No. Now he's going to lead us to the dough. There's an alley ahead, at least to that junkyard. Start moving, Bresser. I started moving. But the gun nudging me in the kidney there was nothing else to do. We went down a long park out there, listening to the televisions playing in the buildings we passed. The people quarreled when babies cried. Then we came to a high board fence that surrounded the junkyard, and I stopped. What are you stopping for? Well then, here's the junkyard. How are we going to get in? You got in the other time. You can get in this time. Oh, that was from the other alley. You see, there was a loose board. Where's he? Yeah, Phil. Look for a loose board so we can get through this fence. Where's he playing? He began yanking at the fence. Well, Phil whipped, kept the gun grinding hard into my back. I was in no hurry. I knew they were figuring on killing me as soon as they had their hands on them. Shooting me in the back and leaving me along with the old boilers and wash tubs in the junkyard. I was perfectly willing to postpone that as long as possible. Then Weezy Plain found a loose board. Phil used his gun to steer me to the opening, and we all squeezed through. OK. What are you stopping for? I'm just trying to figure where we are. Now, uh, the other time I got in this junkyard from the other side. If you're stalling, you're going to be sorry. I hid the money inside an old furnace someplace about the middle, uh... Yeah, thought it'd be over this way here. I led the way toward the center of the junkyard. Rusty iron ripped holes in my new suit. And a cat jumped up snarling. There were a million people inside a few blocks of us, but there, in the silence of that deserted junkyard, Phil and Weezy and I might have been the last men alive in the whole world. OK. Now what are you stopping for? Some place around here I hid the dough. Uh, one of these old furnaces. Which one? Don't try to stall. Listen, I was in a hurry. I crammed the money into an old furnace. Just let me look in this one here. No, no, it's not here. Maybe it's that one over there. Now my suit was covered with a messy black stain and reaching around inside the furnace. There wasn't much left in my outfit by now, but this was my life that was worrying me, not my clothes. They followed close behind me as I worked my way toward the other furnace. And overturned bathtub lay about ten feet from it and on the bathtub, a black cat sat and just watched it. Hey, look at Phil, a black cat that's bad luck. Bad luck for a dresser if this ain't the right furnace. Because then I'll know he's stalling. No, no, no. This is it. I'm positive of it. Yeah, the package is right inside the firebox. Yeah. There it is. It's right here. At the moment, we will return for the concluding act of... Sus. I reached inside the antique furnace. And there was the package. But it didn't hold any money. It held a robot. As soon as I had it in my hands, I dropped it on my knees and I yelled, OK, sloppy, shoot! Well, the bathtub is shooting at us. The trick dresser up, fix your wagon! I ducked behind some scrap iron. Before Weezy Blaine could find cover, he grunted and fell over an old washed-up and laid it. Phil Whip started to run. Couldn't get a shot at him. But the bathtub of sloppy pedas was heightened under heathen jerky top low. Sloppers stood up, a six-foot scare crow, and lifted his gun. Phil Whip fell into some rusty machinery and laid there, not even moving. Sloppy, Peter's put his gun away and came over to help me up. I had gotten tangled up in some loose wire. OK, Johnny. Give me a hand. That's it. Thanks, Sloppy. Now, uh, let's find the money. It's here, isn't it? Well, sure it is. I told you it was. In the same boiler where I had the gun hit. I'd get it right out. There it is. In the pillowcase, I dumped it in after I cuffed Tony Belmont. Stayed just as safe as in a vault. Let's have a look at it. Sure. Pretty, isn't it? Yeah, very pretty. Now, let me have it. But you have it. All of it. Now, don't argue, Johnny. Your gun? What's the devil doing? The money, Johnny. You want all of it? All of it. Start walking, Johnny, toward the street. And don't hurry. We have a little trip to take. The Sloppy Peter's gun nudged me. I didn't understand. He was tired of having gun for my lips. But his grim look told me he wasn't full. We held a cab, took us to headquarters, then we walked up to see the commissioner's office. Sloppy put the pillowcase of money on the commissioner's desk and told him the story. Do I understand, Detective Peter, that you are charging Detective Gressa with trying to appropriate this $60,000 for himself? Yes, sir. I, uh... I hate to do it. Believe me, Johnny, I'd rather cut off my arm if there's nothing else I can do. He had a smart scheme to get Wheezy Blaine and Phil Whip out of hiding, but I could tell he was planning to keep the money. I pretended to go along with him, sir, in order to locate the money. Excuse me, Detective Peter's.  You look sat way, sir. Actor-commissioner, I understand. Your partner came to me three days ago, Detective Peter's, and told me where the money was and what he was planning. I gave him my OK even to leaving the money hidden. Because there are a lot of ears in this city, and if the money was actually turned in, someone might have talked.  When you took that money from me after all, 60 grand, huh? It's 60 grand, yeah. That's the way I thought you figured it. Peter's, I'm glad you did what you did. Convincing proof of your own integrity. And, Gressa? Yes, sir. I want to congratulate you. It was a well-worked-out plan. Except for one bad mistake. Mistake commission? Look at your partner.  Your mistake, Gressa, was this. You had him in a bathtub. Why didn't you put in some soap and water, too? You've been listening to 60 Grand Missing, written for suspense by Robert Arthur. Heard in tonight's story where Bernard Grant is dresser.

Hi everyone. My name is Rantao. I'm from Huawei, ConnectWork. I hope you all enjoy this summit. My session is about Huawei's practice in migration to cloud native-based 5G technical cloud. In IT, cloud native is clearly defined. It's microservice plus container support and with some system automation. For all these three parts, some of them have already been supported in the technical cloud. Here I'm talking about a 4G EPC-based Core Network. We start to support the NFV from five years ago. We do already support microservices. Before that, the technical system is a purpose-built hardware with embedded, monolithic software. This kind of architecture is to support carrier-grade high-performance and high reliability. But when we are introducing the cloud technology, we need to decompose the software modules into small microservices. And to consider the difference between the technical software and the IT software, we are doing this decomposition in two dimensions. The first dimension is the vertical decomposition. This is because in the technical software, it is a state for design. We use a very complicated state machine mechanism to control all the user context during the services. So when we are doing the software model decomposition, the first thing we need to do is to separate the state for database. So to make the service processing part stateless, then the stateless service processing unit can support the flexible scaling and scale-out. Of course, it is not only a single service processing unit. We also, from a horizontal level, to decompose the software modules into different function services. So this part, microservices, is already done. But at this moment, all the microservices or the service modules are running in a virtual machine mode. So the container part is not supported yet in today's 4G technical network. And here comes 5G. It brings again the requirement to support the container. And this is the major topic I want to talk about today. And the third part is the system automation. We started to do this in operators network. But you know, for the operators operation and maintenance, it is very complicated. It needs to consider the inheritation of existing functions and by introducing the separation of the hardware and software layers, the current OAM procedure, even because it's more complicated. So the automation is mandatory. But this is a very complicated part. We cannot talk it very easily in a small session. So I will not talk about this today. So I will focus in on the container part. And I mentioned actually the come of 5G brings new requirement to support the container. So why is that? There are several reasons. On the left side, you will see the very famous triangle of the 5G definition. So in 4G, it's an MBB system. The 5G is not only about enhanced MBB. It's also about the massive machine type communication and the UR-ARRC, which is the ultra reliable low latency. So this need to do some adaptation based on the cloud technology. Something are good, easy to support, but something is not that simple. So here I list four major things to be considered. The first thing, obviously, 5G will bring much higher traffic. As forecast, it will be at least 10 times compared with 4G. So this need to support even higher performance. This kind of high traffic performance actually is advantage of the IT technology, not the IT. IT is good at computing, but here we're talking about the throughput, data transmission. So how to support this? Especially in a container based environment. So this is the first requirement. Second, it's about the low latency. And to support the low latency, we need to put the system more close to the exercise side, which means we need to support a distributed cloud instead of a centralized cloud. So as a forecast, we have some discussion with operators in some big network. It will bring maybe a hundred times more sites compared with 4G. So this is also a very high challenge or bring new requirement to the container systems. The third and the fourth things, they are good to be supported. 5G 3GPP defined the SBA, Service Based Architecture. This is quite suitable for the microservice and container systems to support. And the last is the network slicing. This not only needs the network function automation, but also a whole network level automation. So this brings new requirements. So with the requirements, how to support the container and which mode is suitable for the 5G technical cloud. I have a single comparison here. I list three modes. The left one is the virtual machine. Right now is the moment. We all have the virtual machine based NIFE 4G systems. The advantage and the drawbacks are very clear. It's not that agile, but it's enough for the 4G systems. The performance has some limitations because of the high provider will bring some performance loss. In the beginning, the performance loss is very high. We only can reach 10% of this throughput compared with embedded systems. But after five years hard work, this problem can, we can say it's solved. So the performance based on the virtual machine based system is okay enough for 4G. But for 5G, is that enough? It's still a question mark. And the virtual machine based architecture is okay to support the SBA. Different microservices can run in a single virtual machine, but the resource efficiency is very low. In a centralized data center, it's okay because we have enough hosts have enough virtual machines. But when we put it into a distributed cloud, the edge cloud doesn't have enough resources. This will also become a problem. So we say the virtual machine mode have some drawbacks supporting the 5G. So here comes the container mode. There are also two options. Option one is to support the container in the VM. Option two is to support the bare metal container directly. The technical comparison between these two modes are quite clear. The container in VM, the good thing is that we do not to change the infrastructure layer. And we do not to change the current build NFE based measurement systems. Operators are quite happy with this mode because they have spending years to build NFE data center. But the drawback for the container in the VM is also very clear because different multiple containers are running in a single virtual machine. So it cannot take advantage of the agility and flexibility of the containers. It's quite equal to a single virtual machine based magnetism. Then we say the bare metal container mode has totally different environment. It's very agile, very flexible and to the system restart and boot is very quickly. And from some point of view, the performance is very good also because we eliminate the restriction from the hardware layer. But it has a very clear weakness, which is the security and isolations. So we know the isolation between different containers is not good at the virtual machines. So this is considered by the operator is the top one issue of introducing the container. Of course, from technical point of view, we have Cata container, but this is not mature enough. So we say maybe we can consider this later in several years. So from technical point of view, the difference between container in VM and bare metal container is very clear. But which one is suitable for the 5G systems? It's not a black or white question. It's also related with some enhancement with some environment point of view. So we will go on to see which things should be considered additionally. First, I want to explain something about the mandatory enhancement from technical point of view on the container. Here the container I mean the Kubernetes. These are the two, the top two issues we are talking. Top one is the technical network requirements. Top two is the 5G latency. For the network issues, it's also one major difference between the IT application and the technical applications. The IT applications, they are mainly running in parallel, running alone. But in the technical systems, different VNS network functions should be networking with each other in a very well-designed topology. And even within VNS, different microservices, they should be strictly defined how to talk in with each other. So this is the technical networking requirement. But how to overcome and how to do this kind of enhancement? We say we cannot modify the upstream Kubernetes software releases directly. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to merge this update into the mainstream unless the community decided to accept the change. So it's very difficult to maintain. So our suggestion is to keep upstream Kubernetes first and to do some non-intuitive technical enhancements as plugins. So operators can decide to deploy the major Kubernetes with the plugins together to provide this kind of enhancement. And according to our understanding, all the technical vendors are doing the same way. So what is the detail in the network requirement to Kubernetes? Here is a very clear requirement, the separation of the three network planes. So what are these three network planes? They are measurement plane, control plane, and the service planes. So when we are doing microservices, different microservices are not only talking to each other using a single communication planes. In technical systems, we need three. Why we need three? The measurement plane is mainly responsible for doing the communication about the operation and the maintenance information. It has external interfaces. So the operators is doing their OAM using this plane. And the second plane is the control plane. It's actually an inner plane between different microservices to communicate with each other for the service governance and the secondary control, these kind of functions. And one very clear behavior of this plane is that it doesn't need to support high traffic, but it needs very high security because of the measurement functions. It doesn't have any external interfaces on the control plane. So the third plane is the service plane. All the high traffic in 5G or in 4G system is running between microservices on the service plane. So obviously it needs to support high data throughput. And all the external data plane interfaces in the 5G network is supported by this plane, like the GI interface, GN interface, etc. So the requirement for the separation of the three planes is also very clear. In the normal situation, it's okay, but to consider it's in an abnormal situation, for example, some traffic burst in the service plane. So it should not impact the normal rendering of the control plane and the management plane. And of course, the separation is also from security considerations. And as we check the native Kubernetes releases at this moment, it only supports single network plane. And it doesn't support the single root IOV and DPDK for a high data throughput point of view. So here comes the requirements. First, one part needs to support multiple planes. Second, different planes should be isolated by different V lines. The third to support the DPDK and the single root IOV to accelerate the data forwarding. So what we did, as I mentioned, we do not modify the upstream Kubernetes releases. We do provide our individual plug-in. We called ICANN the intelligent container networking based on the CNI to support all the separation of three planes. And due to the time limitation, I will not talk about the detail about technical implementation of this plug-in. Then the next thing to enhance on top of Kubernetes is to support the low latency and the performance. I list three key features here, the CPU isolation and the binding, the NUMA affinity, and the huge page. Actually, these three features are already there for the virtual machine. The OpenStack already supports this in current releases. But as we check the availability details for the container, they're not there. So it's clear we need to migrate all the functions from a virtual machine-based OpenStack releases to the container Kubernetes releases. This is not only about to support the high performance, but also to support the low latency. Because it's very important in the 5G systems. In 4G latency is okay. We are talking about around 50 to 100 millisecond. But in the 5G defined in the 3GPP, we need to support end-to-end service 1 millisecond latency. But in a normal deployment, we do not need that strict latency. But we still need to support, let's say, around 10 millisecond. And we allocate these 10 millisecond end-to-end to different network functions to the core network part. It's still only 1 millisecond. So these features are very important. And according to our tests in our lab, the performance and the latency can be increased quite a lot by using the enhancements on top of the Kubernetes. Okay, so I explained the enhancements required for Kubernetes. But how to support this in our end-to-end network point of view? Not only on a network function. So let's see this picture. It's a very typical three-layer architecture in our end-to-end network. It's a central layer, the edge layer, and the fire edge layer. Maybe in some small network, we can only support two layers, the central and the edge. And the fire edge can be deployed on demand. The central DC, it's already there for the 4G NFV. As I mentioned, most operator has deployed the central DC based on virtual machine mode. And they are not willing to modify them to a container-based quickly because they have invested quite a lot to support this one. And since the central DC has quite enough resources, so the requirement for the container is not that strong. And also because we will not modify the software for the 4G, IMS, and EPC, they are still virtual machine based. So our conclusion or our suggestion for the deployment in the central DC is to keep the virtual machine based mode on top of OpenStack. And when we are introducing the 5G functions, which is suitable for the container, then we do support the container in the end mode. So the infrastructure in the central DC should not be changed, and a hybrid mode should be supported. So this is for the central DC. And for the edge DC, actually it's a dilemma to select which mode. It's related with the real environment in the edge machine room. Is it big enough for enough service, for enough resources? If it is so, then the virtual machine mode is okay, just as the central DC. But if the deployment environment in the edge is quite limited, we can support only several servers, then maybe we also need to support the container mode at this moment. But the things are totally different on the 5G. When we are talking about the 5G, actually most of the sites we are considered to deploy as on-premise in the industry environment, let's say. Or even in the operator network, it's a very small machine room, less than 10 servers. So the resource is very limited. So we recommend to consider a bare metal container mode in the 5G to improve the efficiency and density of the system. Then from a single operator point of view, it needs to maintain, as we discussed, these three modes in central DC in edge and in the 5G. But it's quite difficult or even impossible for the operators to maintain three totally different operating systems. So here comes a requirement to the cloud operating systems. It must be heterogeneous to support the fully distributed cloud. So at least it must be a dual stack to support both virtual machine mode and container mode. And both in the central deployment mode and in the edge mode. So we believe this is suitable mode to consider the container deployment. As I just mentioned, it's not a black or white question to select container over virtual machine or bare metal container. It's a mix and this mix is mandatory. This is another angle to check this issue from a migration point of view. So as I mentioned, the virtual machine mode is already there and the operator cannot and they are not willing to migrate the system in one day or even one year to a totally container base. This period may last over three or even five years. And which means that in this five year time frame, we must keep our dual stack platform and the manual system for the virtual machine and the container in a long period. And the last thing I will not discuss in detail, but just a highlight here. When we introduce the technical cloud, it makes the OEM in the operator system very complex. So we need the some mature automation tools and the CICB or DevOps procedures or even the AI engine supported to improve the OEM efficiency. And this even becomes more, how to say, mandatory when we're introducing the container into the systems because container will bring a normal OEM procedure even more complex. It's very difficult to do so. So today we do not have the time to discuss with this one. I just give the conclusions. We need automation. Okay, so simple takeaway for my session. We need to support a heterogeneous platform. It is the trend during the five network migrations. And the most important thing is to support our dual stack and the location dependent mode to support both virtual machine and container and both supported in the central DC and edge DC. And at the current phase, I would like to say the container in the end mode is more suitable or more suggested at this moment. And the system automation is very important. It's still a long way to go. Okay, so that's all for my session. Thank you all for your kind attention.
