Okay, better Hi everyone, welcome to the March event for Kubernetes we have An interesting lineup tonight, which I hope everyone will enjoy. My name is Hunter if you don't know who I am I'm one of the CNCF ambassadors here, so We run this event, you know once a month a few familiar faces I've seen around but You know welcome to all the people who haven't been here usually when we kick it off We'd like to get a bit of a poll about who knows About Kubernetes who's actually using Kubernetes in their day-to-day work Okay, more hands going up. It's nice to see this thing growing who's who's Completely unfamiliar with Kubernetes Okay, too. That's good We usually like to run a Kubernetes 101 every now and then so we might try and organize something coming up in the future For people who are wanting to get familiar with it, but Tonight we've got a really good Set of talks We're really quite fortunate to have Rimas here who is one of the creators of Helm The package manager for for Kubernetes. He also works at Mesosphere and is going to give a bit of a rundown about how Kubernetes integrates with Mesosphere and all the interesting stuff there So just a quick Actually, maybe I'll come back and talk about it later about the other things that have been coming up So let's get into the interesting stuff first and See you all later Hi, my name is Rimas. I work a solution the architect for Mesphere Was lucky to invent that helm as well with my ex-colleagues from death So who's familiar with Helm? Wow, that's a good place to start so Let's Explain what helm is That's about me. I was running crazy Docker adoption in 2014 wrote my pass in Bash What it is to mature? so so you have Kubernetes right and You need the easy story to get our applications to run so we have templates Services manifests all those with Kubernetes anyway not easy to manage That's okay for her. So they're not easy to manage so Helm brings the nice story it packs your Manifest files Kubernetes files as a package called a chart Which easy to distribute between your team upgrade them do new releases and so on so as said chart describe your software and Dependencies in one thing basically like looking to Using up Yum installing applications are basically the same thing you do for Kubernetes with the helm charts So I'm going to explain the Helm basics and in my second talk I will use a demo as well how using how to install applications with a helm How it's all helm and how to install applications all with the helm so so what is helm so so You need to manage your complexity for applications so Chim chart describes even most complex apps though, which can be repeatable and serve a single point of authority and chart can have sub charts so like You could see like WordPress and having a sub chart like my sequel and even one click you can install both and You need to un-upgrade You just can specify the tag you need to a docker image to be upgraded and That will change only that place if your chart gets changed that you can apply that change as well But the rest stays intact. So helm knows where upgrade goes to so charts are easy to version share and You can cause on a public or a private repositories You can have them on github like Code or we recommend using helm repositories. So which are packed versions of your helm charts, which are versions So every time you release a chart you bump a version and You want to always can go downgrade them Things happen better lease that chart release So we can always roll back as well So easy updates. So I mentioned most of times what you do with and upgrades Docker image tag that's most used case so we can use githash for your or somewhere or wherever you up to every and helm upgrade Specify that githash tag or somewhere you upgrade and Underneath is still Kubernetes running doing collect could control kind of issue helmet talks to the API server You need to do your all back use home or all that command roll back to a previous version by default Or you can specify the version very similar to keep control So home components So we have components like home client basically sits on your laptop or your in your CI CD pipeline as a helm client which knows How to connect your API server? Sorry to tiller. So the client is responsible for Following things like local chart development. You develop a chart You all prefer to do locally on laptop not pushing everything upstream to a server to GitHub and CI CD pop up at first because you have to test it. So and Interactive with a tiller tiller is server side of helm which Interacts with API. So home client connects to a tiller and tiller connects to a connector I use as API Kubernetes API server. So Yeah, we already ex went for too quick. So So basically tiller server is Listening for a quest for my helm client. That's it. There's nothing else sit and sleep till you ask to do a job very simple on the resources and so on so three big components of Concepts of a helm chart. So chart is a home package. So For example, we have a Jenkins chart It contains all our sources search definitions necessary to run your application tool or service inside of Kubernetes cluster so Jenkins yes, I Don't go much due to Jenkins But like I experienced like homebrew formula up get or yum RPM file basically exactly what the chart is and You have repository. It's not get a positive a helm chart repository where you host with your simple web server Even GCS S3 bucket can be useful cell as well to hold your chart repositories and you use helm client to pack your home charts and After you have to sync them to your helm repository that allows easy very easy to share between your team between your CI CD pipelines between servers between clusters You might have developed and staging production cluster Because first you may maybe try to assume charts the new chart in Dev cluster you can try that first So one place to share where helm charts is the helm repository and all they packed as a small tariff files Every time you release it gets the new version. So Going there via get you don't have that option so You always have to go back here pull requests and comments and so on So the release of a chart So the helm release is basically you install the chart. It's called a release the releases stored stored as config maps or if you need more security can store as secrets Kubernetes secrets and you can store the same chart as many times as you want But you have to provide the release name or if you don't provide the name where random name will be picked up as well but most cases I think you prepare prefer to have a release name so you know what you Which kind of release you have or because random names just don't give you anything So with all that in concept in mind we now can explain how helm assemble as this So Helm installs charts into Kubernetes Clinic and you release for each installation and releases are stored as Taylor config maps or secrets depends on but if I was confident about if you need more sick prior Security use secrets. It's easy easy change changeable So what is a helm chart? Yeah, so I spent right so share allows you to share applications as Kubernetes shares in your organization create irreproducible reproducible build builds of your Kubernetes applications Manage your Kubernetes manifest and all of files manage releases of Kubernetes packages. So and Chart has very simple structure basically. So my chart is basically here it's a chart name and Chart Yamal just has information about your chart owners and Most cases you use have to specify in a chart the version every time you release a chart update a chart You have to bump a version there. So License is optional but up to read me Read me it's recommended to have so every knows how to install especially Just in case but it's not Really needed. So values file. That's very interesting thing So with values files You specify which values you want to pass your templates? like most cases docker image tag So docker values file has a docker image tag you specify by default and afterwards if every release you can updated that and You have two options as well use every time you can have a value file updated the new chart so with a new tag and Maybe it's more recommended way and maybe Just store that in GitHub or get get get repo like get ops So you always have a state of your cluster when you store that way so charts By default you don't need that till you need the sub charts like Like for example WordPress needs where my sequel so you can store sub chart where yourself or you just have dependencies using some external chart of my sequel but templates folder is your Deployments ingress services Demon says where you store your templates Notes it's optional. It's nice to have to ball for humans So when you install the chart it spits up some information how to use a chart if You have fully automated CI CD pipeline not really needed, but sometimes Developers ops guys still need to check check the thing. So it's nice to have it and maybe recommend it so Some if you're looking for some sample chat sample chart, so that's a good good things to start from like Hubcubeapps.com So it's basically the same thing like here, but you get the dashboard and UI Basically you can Click it here front and so you can see the visual way all the charts J frog Basically trees there read me file presents in a nice way and how to install And you can run that based on monocular so you can earn yourself in your internal cluster the cube apps as well You can start as a home chart so Very handy for different for local developers if you want them to go that way But I only recommend developers to learn a lot of helm stuff because they should code and nothing else You'd be doing nothing else because way too much complexity, but helm takes a bit away from complexity from Kubernetes Especially if ops guys prepare a helm charts for you for developers. So you get instructions like these Very easy to go start from So if you go here, so it's exactly the same charts we saw before but Now it's in github So we have to pick anything traffic from example and you see the read me file as well which with cube apps How it gets translated in more human readable way? so Helm is easy really easy to use so first you need to Have Kubernetes cluster, of course Cube control has to talk to your Kubernetes cluster. You do helm in it which initializes your Local home repository the local directory for helm and knows how to connect to Kubernetes cluster Next you have to add helm repository This case we're using helm repository as incubator because we have incubator and stable for Helm charts up to the home charts. So you are there Your helm repository So that is scriptable for your CI CD pipelines Basically, you can do helm in it dash dash client Afterwards you add your private public Helm repository over here This is one comment and you do helm repository updates so that fetches all the Charts so I will go and demo all that in my next talk and we have all Kubernetes in helm part That's basically easy. So so install a chart. Yeah, you do helm install stable redis Yeah, because I'm telling name Release name will be redis. So I tell him name space Specifying name space redis as well So I want to disable persistence. Basically that has to be of course in your values file and specifying the Token image as well that installs Installs a helm chart and afterwards you can list them come list list all your releases Upgrading as well. It's so easy as that. So help upgrade redis with your release name stable reuse values is really cool feature so If you don't use reuse values, you can get overwritten by default formula values file have changed made more changes So in this case, we specify chest the docker image wanna see changing the version or you can have a dash F and values overwrite file and That values file have only one thing not that big values file. Maybe I'll show you Let's maybe go back a couple of charts You see to explain more values well so values follow have a Replicate account how many replicas you need image so repository tag cool policy and The app related Agent token, whatever it needs to be done private and Resources it's a common thing as well you pass resources to your application specify that So having your values file you can uncomment all those things. So you don't have to So you can have a copy of your that values file uncomment change things you need and store that values file Maybe with your app code only so Chuck is separate. You can repository. You should have a hell separate repo get repository for helm charts and And values follow with your app. So And you could just overwrite No, select it specify you just basically normal Kubernetes. So if you want to put on the particular nodes, it has some selector your application So chart can look at quickly as well. So It has an API version description name This is basically you have to change all the time you do the chart upgrade change, sorry, so So you have a versions properly the application version and I can just what's about so It's nice to have whose keyboard keywords as well. So when you search in your helm repository, you can search by these will be easier to find a Source and who maintain off my chart So templates So like for example notes You specify what you're okay? like build kite agent token wasn't specified you get the error but and Nothing will be installed and instructions what to do. So it's nice to have it deployment As well checks for agent token. There is no agent token deployment one been stalled so and Like image you see values image repository values image tag. So Before Helm you used to be setting you said or maybe Bush script which has a template file inside your place Whose things now with the values file and Helm we can easily replace So they have to touch that template files directly Yeah Test okay, so yeah I just wanted to like as you were talking about What you could do without Helm like it the way we started at Honest v was we we used Kubernetes manifest We just first use a Jinja Python templates and then you you write some first we use said then we use Python templates Then we put us a flask Server that basically renders a template so we have a webhook to deploy and at that point We just basically said we're building Helm. So why don't we just use Helm? So basically that's yeah, what I wanted to highlight Yeah, that takes all complexity away. So we don't have to build us stuff. Just use it. And it's really big commuter Behind it. So big companies supporting that. So why not? because I Went to Helm summit a couple weeks ago We heard so many different interesting new story stories. So this is story. So all videos available. So you should check it out and Even Helm v3 will bring loads of new features Which community wants? So it's a normal template file from Kubernetes, but you have always go templates. So it's get replaced in place One value is filed by Helm. So we don't have to do anything yourself. Yeah, so we have secrets the same way Service account is needed and you see every it has special labels. So the app label basically gets the name from a release chart chart version and This is why it's good to have a chart version so every time you release a new chart version You do get a new release So it's that will be stored here as a label. Every release has name as well. So we store here as well So we always go back and check and upgrades work really nicely there. So All the labels I don't as we also because the chart becomes like a standard way of deploying the application every Chart can be linted can be you can enforce which labels are you know mandatory before your Developers can or before your team deploys any application if you use Kubernetes monitoring automatically all those labels are available for you to chart to make a very detailed graphics So I just wanted to highlight that that all of this is built in in Helm and allows your team to to provide very deep inspection of how much CPU each Individual container is using on your Kubernetes cluster if you want that information So the cube metrics automatically X these things and we were using data doc. So in our case Our the way that the data dog integrations crepes the metrics from the Kubernetes cluster every single metric is tagged by the Labels attached to the to the containers. I didn't have to do anything. I just defined them make them default Yeah Plus you you're free to add your labels It's not a problem doll. Basically when you use a good example, maybe using like traffic or Engine ingress So you have to have to slave use labels in your deployments have to sorry in your ingresses so the ingress gets picked up by particular traffic or Engine ingress where I'm on now with guys See now it's totally different. So we have service type all balancer load load on therapy Debug node selector affinity tolerations SSL so You put your values file which are any your app needs but sometimes you see it gets very complex So imagine having that all about helm We'll be unmanageable totally So much basically building where our flasker will be one be easy. Oh That's big improvement on traffic now Yeah, so that's a good example basically of values file. It's crazy but you can have a default and You have a second Values file which you specify with F as well as overwrite and you just can put You pick anything you need is most of a changeable and you have basically, okay, the best example With a tag or a whatever you okay, we can tell low balancer type in your values file and You can specify two values file default one and the new one as well. So there The last one overwrite the default one. So basically very flexible. Okay. Do you have any questions? Shall we go back something or Explain something more now. It's a real question So in the values as you saw there's a couple of them show like a private key Some like yeah some some secrets basically right so how Can we split the secrets from the values from a helm release example? I usually have secrets separately totally. I even use secret for secrets to use home charts But I have separate I don't mix anymore secrets. So in this case, you don't really have to worry about secrets Especially developers doing changes releasing something even it's not a production, but having secrets separately. It makes more sense so separate helm chart which could be particularly see ICD pipeline which deploys that and so kind of issue and Loads of cases secrets are shared between your apps So having a separate secret makes more sense and If up has Whatever five different microservices you usually prefer to put into the same namespace. So Deploying this secret in the same namespace from a separate same helm chart makes total sense and And honestly, we actually also don't put any secrets inside the value files We use something called vault controller to fetch the secrets and create a secret completely separate from the release Yeah, totally and because it's the the value really defines what is deployed in your cluster So you have to be able to commit it and do infrastructure as code over it so you need to be able to collaborate on it and iterate over it and Control the changes to the values files. They are very important part of how your clusters are being deployed So you really need to source control them and yeah Especially when you saw that traffic values file, that's a really complex one And you have a secrets mixed together It's not so easy to manage anything else or Shall we have a short break or shall continue to my next topic with demos and everything?


Hi, UZAR 2020. I'm Gary Keenan-Booey and your slides are so extra. This is a presentation about making extra special presentations with the Scheringen extra package. First of all, what is Scheringen? Scheringen is an R package that lets you write an R markdown, and it uses the remark.js JavaScript library and Pandoc together to turn your slides into HTML webpages, like the one that you're looking at right now. To get started, you install that package as Scheringen, and you might need to learn a little bit about the syntax. There are great resources on Yihui's page or on the Scheringen repo on GitHub. So first of all, thank you to Yihui for Scheringen, for Knitter, for all of the amazing things that our markdown can do. So we're going to make your slides extra special. Scheringen extra provides a bunch of extra extensions that add on to the Scheringen package. It's not on CRAN. You need to use install GitHub to get it. And I do have a documentation page with examples of each of the extensions. We're going to talk about today. The first extension we're going to talk about today is TileView. So to use TileView, you simply call the useTileView function inside of an R chunk in your slides. Once you've done that, when you render your slides, you can press O to open up an overview of your slides. You can even see the slides that you've visited already or the slides that are coming up. You can jump back and push O again and jump forward and move around if you need to. Next up, panel set. Panel set is a lot like tab sets in in sort of normal R markdown. You get started by calling usePanelSet and then you have to create panels inside of your slides. To create a panel or a set of panels, you use the dotPanelSet class. And then you're going to fill it with panels. And each panel needs to have a name. Inside of a panel, you can put whatever you want, like R code or the output of that R code. So you could have, for example, R code in one panel and then the ggplot output in another. We're actually looking at a panel set right now. The other nice part is that you can use the left and right arrows to navigate back and forth between the panel. So your normal slide navigation isn't broken up. Next up, webcam. The webcam extension is the one I'm using right now to show my face in these slides. You can call to use webcam function and even give it a width and a height if you'd like to set how big your video is going to be. And then during your presentation, press W to turn on the webcam or press it again to turn it off. Oh, hi. How are you? You can also move the video around by pushing shift and W so you can move it out of the way just by pushing shift and W. Next up is editable. So you might identify with this situation. You've prepared some slides, but you didn't know an important piece in advance, like the Wi-Fi. But you can actually now edit your slides. Somebody told me right before I started that the Wi-Fi is hotel conference Wi-Fi. Does anyone remember the password? Yeah, yeah. Okay, use our 2020. Thanks. There we go. This is great for class. For example, if you ask your students, what's your favorite tidyverse function? You might have someone immediately call out spread and gather and spark a hearty debate about whether or not they should be replaced with pivot longer or pivot wider. So to make an element of your slide editable, you call use editable. And then you need to wrap the part that you want to edit and can edit. At that point when you run to your slides, you'll be able to edit that content. It's good for inline elements as well. Okay, slide tone is the next extension. Slide tone is a really cool feature. You're not hearing it right now, but if you go to the demo on the package documentation page, you'll hear what it sounds like. Every time you change the slide, there's a little tone that plays and it goes up as you move through your slides. And this can be really helpful if you need auditory feedback about how far you are in your slide. And finally, we have animate. Animate uses the animate CSS framework to animate your slides or parts of your slides. And the way that you use this is to first say that your slide is going to be animated. And then I have actually modified animate CSS so that you can declare an in and an out animation. For example, to have this slide came in from the right and it's going to go out to the left. If you'd like to have the same animation for all of your slides, you can use animate all. And there are a few coordinated transitions that you can pick from and have them applied to every slide transition in your presentation. So that's basically it for sharing an extra. There's a lot more. There are even more extensions in the package, which I suggest that you check out. The GitHub repository is here. You can find me on Twitter and also online at garrickaidenbuoy.com.


advisable but I know that people even in really good health maybe when they're heading towards their late 70s they start worrying about things like this even though it's not imminent and we hope it's not right but I think it's and it's a different sort of maybe a concern because they start worrying about well I don't want to put stress on my family or I don't want I think for the living that this would be a great peace of mind does that make sense Sean do you get where I'm coming from and it could be at any age but I just I'm thinking back to my dad and you know it was long thankfully long before he passed away right but I know certain things were sort of from our conversations over a pint we're starting to pay his mind a little bit that there was maybe a reality dawning does that make sense 100% like I had clients before and until they had their wishes done it was a peace of mind for them because they were worrying they might change my plans and I wanted to set in writing and it was just the relief that person got I can park that now I can park for hopefully another 20 years but I don't have to worry about that it's just a relief off my shoulders and it's just what do you think the uptake will be the uptake has been very strong so we've been processing plans since November we started off slowly just to get all our procedures exactly to get everything in place and make sure that when the madness happens that we're ready for it but there has been a great uptake in it I have to say and we're very very happy with it and even with our own funeral directors once people know that you offer this service and that it's available it starts the conversation yeah indeed yeah like I think today I would be today would be a good day for me to fill this out tomorrow I'll probably go no I'm not talking about that do you know exactly that's just the way it is but if people get the forms when they fill in the mood and would you suggest people might fill this out at home and then present it to their undertaker or contact you is that how you expect it to work yeah exactly you can either again contact us or a funeral director directly and then have the form have a read over the pack at home person can decide if they want to fill it out with the funeral director or they can fill it out themselves at home if they want to get a bit more creative but it's definitely something that people can take their time over and I know Sean was saying about the peace of mind that people get from planning and I've done a few plans with people either over the phone or in person and there's a sigh they do this yeah just a sigh of relief well the anticipation of most things is worse than the actual thing itself isn't it that is what they say and you said about this is not necessarily the primary focus about paying for it in advance but if people want to do that they can do so and the money is secure so that that is an expense that they're not leaving behind them exactly they can get an estimate for the cost of the wishes that they have detailed and then pay towards it they choose an amount that they pay we're different to the sort of the insurance providers or what you might see in some of the daytime television the UK based providers where maybe if you stop paying that your money is gone and I think also really that's designed for get you in a casket you know cremation you know what I mean I don't think that affords you the personalisation of your last your last ride I suppose you could call it alright okay how do people get more information so they can check out our website myfarwellwishes.ae they can check out then we have our so we have Sean in the Sean funeral services we have Maketeers and Fannet we have Terence McClintock in Convoy and we have Andrew Gallagher in Mount Charles at the minute and we're still we have a few other Donegal funeral directors interested in taking up our service and again this will kind of fill out organically because you might have someone who contacts their undertaker and asks do you have this facility and then they go alright well Sean has it I better provide that option too that's kind of wouldn't you yeah okay it's really very interesting how do people get their hands on this booklet so if they get in touch with us by our website or our facebook page we're on all the social medias as well and we'll get brochures or packs whatever sent out to them and get them in touch with their nearest partner funeral director it's not as scary to hold as I thought it might be I already know my wishes and they are simple I'm not sure what I want or I want to know more or have detailed wishes those are you know I think you're covering all bases there and then you take people through that process right so are we getting better about talking about death or as I say I'll start I'll finish with the question we started maybe we're already quite comfortable about it yeah I think the younger generation are more willing to talk about it and they're more curious too is what I find you know they'll ask questions that their parents wouldn't have asked you know they'll ask more they want to know what happens maybe behind the scenes why things happen rather than maybe the generation before that were afraid oh don't you know don't talk about that you know they didn't want to talk about the finer details of what happens but younger people are much more interested and that's one route that we would like to go down next is to educate people on all aspects of funerals and what's available in a tasteful way too though okay and there's no need for any red flag element this is they're just in case someone is planning their passing we do have a code of contact in the Funeral Director of Terms and Conditions that says you know if you feel that there's a person that maybe there's just something not adding up here that a person maybe isn't in the best place that you know just to be very gentle with them brilliant okay that's brilliant sorry for asking that but you know yourself I just think it's important anything else either if you want to add nope I think we covered it all didn't we all right Anja Toffey manager of my farewell wishes and Sean Murphy of Innisfone funeral services both of you thank you very much thank you it's been an interesting conversation alright we'll be

Travel Route 32 from Lettich, Enid, Dublin when you book online and travel for less. Expressway, bringing you the time ask? The time is 24 minutes past 9, so a lot of people following very closely the missing submarine and there are developments ongoing. Banging has been heard. They believe it is done in an organised fashion. This is the missing Titanic sub, by the way. So more search help has arrived after that banging sound heard in the Titanic sub. Martin Phillips is an author and journalist at Martin Phillips Media and joins us on the programme. Now, Martin, thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it greatly. You're very welcome, Greg. Before we talk about this ongoing search, what has been your experience of deep diving in a sub? So I dived down to Titanic back in 2001 in a three-man Russian sub. I know something of the experience, but none of the terror that they would be going through now. Yes. Good to hear that there may be some development. What is it like? It's a long descent, isn't it? I imagine it's claustrophobic and you have to go in with your eyes wide open because it is incredibly dangerous. What was your experience like? So we were informed in no uncertain terms beforehand of some of the dangers. It's an oxygen-enriched atmosphere in the pressurised sub, so danger of fire. So we've been in fire retardant overalls, and the main thing is the pressure. I mean, it's 380 atmospheres at five and a half thousand pounds per square inch down there. So you are relying on the strength of the submersible because any slight defect and you could just implode. That was all spelt out to us, and then when the hatch shuts and you start to sink, it's a little nerve-racking when you consider where you're going. Yeah, and you descended, you saw the wreck, and very thankfully you ascended on our safe because we're talking to you right now on reflection and perhaps maybe parking this story to one side for a moment. Overall, was it worth it to you? Do you reflect on a goal saying, right, I did the right thing? Or do you sort of feel right? I got away with that. Perhaps it wasn't quite worth it. No, absolutely. I'd do it again. It was the most incredible experience of once in a lifetime opportunity that so few people get a chance to do. And I totally understand the driving force behind the five who have died down to Titanic on this expedition. Yeah, and I hope it's not inappropriate in me asking this, but once you did descend, and this is what drew these people to this, what did you witness? Can you describe visually what it was like to be at that depth looking at this, everyone knows what the Titanic is, this truly historic piece of history? Like, how clear was it, and what was it like for you? Quite breathtaking. We sunk, as you said, for two hours like a stone in pitch darkness with just the echoing ping of the sonar. And then when we reached the seabed, the Russian pilot put on the lights to illuminate a lunar-like landscape. But we motored across the sand for a very short while before we came against a wall of black, which I didn't appreciate at the time was Titanic, but obviously the pilot knew that we rose and rose, and then suddenly, within arms, I think where I was looking through a 70-thick porthole was the bow rail of Titanic. Just astonishing, and then to travel over this wreck, look inside the captain's cabin because the walls fallen in. I knew all the stories of Titanic, and here's history unfolding in front of me. Difficult to grasp the reality of it, I would imagine, it's all the world. Just astonishing and so haunting to look through. The wreck is covered in rusticles where bacteria are eating the metal, but they're like tears crying down the sides of the windows, and you just wonder about what went on behind those windows. It's a truly extraordinary experience. And do you get a sense that this is the resting place for a lot of people? This is their cemetery, so to speak. Ed, it's difficult. I mean, there are no nutrients in the water down there, so everything absorbs, so there's nothing... No, I understand, yeah, but...   I suppose just in terms of the plight of the five at the moment, and it's ongoing, and if this banging turns out to be them, and it would make great sense to conserve energy and only do it intermittently, and there is sort of precedent for that, so they're sending a message. So that would suggest there could have been a motor failure or something, and they could well be still alive in this sub. Would it likely have sunk into the floor of the ocean, would you say, Martin? I would think so. When we dived, as I say, we knew there was no one coming to rescue us in the event of an emergency, because no one else could get down that far. The only real recourse we had in an emergency was to drop the heavy battery, which was sort of ballast, and hope to float to the surface. I'm sure if that was an option, they would possibly have something similar now. Yes, I would expect them to be on the bottom, but I'm not familiar with all the technology of the latest submersion. No, of course. And the one thing that just... I couldn't get my head around, Martin. Now, obviously, there's the depth and the distance and all that type of stuff, but I would have thought from a technological point of view that we would have developed a system whereby they would have beacons or distresses or something that might be able to identify where they are. Is that technologically not possible? Because of the depth of the water?  I would have thought, because, obviously, your options are so limited, that all resources would be to make you more findable in the event of such a situation. You would guess, but communication does remain the major problem. I mean, certainly when I dived, we were told that more people have been in space than a dive deep in the ocean. It's still a different... It's an alien world down there and two miles of water to try and communicate through. I mean, if they're picking up sonar signals, that's incredible in itself. But, yeah, the communication does seem still to be an issue. Right, okay. Well, we know that if they are alive, and we pray they are alive, I think, that their oxygen levels are dropping, but carbon dioxide levels are increasing, which is perhaps what the greatest challenge is. And even if they were pinpointed, Martin, can they be... You talked about so few vessels capable of going down. What might a rescue operation look like if there is one? Again, I am not sure on that. There are underwater robots which apparently have the ability to move and submersible to the side, which seems incredible to me, but if one hopes that that is the case, because there aren't, say, too many submersibles available to go down in a perfecter rescue, we can only hope. Exactly, and I think that is what we have left. They knew going into this, that it was high risk, I suppose, but still that doesn't lessen the trauma and everything that they're going through, Martin. OK, thank you so much for your insight and thank you so much for your time. I really do appreciate it, and like you, we're all following this really closely. Thanks, Martin. Martin Phillips, author and journalist at Martin Phillips Media, in speaking to him, and certainly when he descended to the wreck of the Titanic in 2001, that was just four years after the film was released, by the way, at that time is still not now. Less people have been to the Titanic and have been in space, really, which is quite remarkable. It's typically to descend two miles downwards through water. I suppose now it starts to make sense as to why communication is so difficult. OK, a couple of comments, then a break, then Kieran. Great idea, my mother-in-law died a few years ago. The men in the house were no good, left everything to the younger sister, and I didn't want to choose a coffin, but when it was over and the bills came, you know the rest of the lot to be said for advanced planning. We as funeral directors have been doing this for years indeed, and your clients and people that you engage with will know that. This is another layer of service, and I suppose it'll either be a success or not. If a member joins a credit union before the 70th birthday and have a certain amount in their account, they receive death-benefit insurance. Every credit union has a certain amount in their account. Example, if a credit union is 25 in your account. Indeed, it doesn't cover necessarily all of the costs in my experience, but it's there. Greg, people will stop ensuring their houses the same as people stopped ensuring their cars. You're obliged to ensure your car. You can't go out on the road. I don't know if you're obliged to have house insurance, are you? But you know, you're the one left picking up the pieces if you don't have it. Can we wish the best to the 2023 London merry who was selected last night? Aaron Duhan from Glack Chrysler from all in London. Well done, Aaron. That is taking place at the start of August. I'm delighted to say I'm involved in that again too, I think. If I'm less or get sacked between now and then. On the judging panel, there's a new crew looking after it as well, some brilliant people. You have to change it now and again, maybe I don't know on the internet. It was very successful any time I've been involved with it, by the way, but it's exciting. The marries have been picked now and that all kicks off the start of August. And really, you know you're in the summer, don't you? When Mary from Dunlowe starts again, I don't know if it's public or not, but there's some good news in relation to that and how people will be able to watch it and stuff as well, I think, but I can't say in case it was said to me on the private. But we'll be talking about that, I'm sure, between. In fact, we're actually broadcasting on the Friday of it. We're broadcasting live from Dunlowe. I am going to be allowed out of the studio a couple of times over the summer, I can't wait. And also, I mentioned in passing yesterday about doing this show or a version of it from the top of Errigal. I don't think it's ever been done before. Come off air, the CEO says that's a great idea, let's make it happen. Kevin, who would be involved in the technical side of things, says, yeah, I'd love that, it's a challenge. Caroline's all for it. I think it's going to happen in August, you know. I think we're going to take the show up to the top of Errigal. So maybe you just want to come with us. Do you want to climb with us?  Should we do that? Would you be interested in that? Maybe you're fundraising for something. You want to tie in with us going up. We can interview up the top of Errigal I'm open to ideas. So if you want to tie in with us in some way or other in terms of doing this show from the top of Errigal, never been done before. Not even sure if it can be done. I'm not even sure I'll get up. But anyway, I think we're going to do it in August. So if you want to tie in with it in some way or other, let us know. 08 660 25000, better off call Caroline because it's better in conversation. 07 491 25000. So we're going up to Errigal, are we in August? We are, Caroline's nodding. If anyone wants to come up with ideas as to how you could feature on the show, come up with us, climb with us, how many can go up? I don't know. Let's just see where it goes. Be part of it, help us organize it and come up with your suggestions and stuff because we're going to do it and you could be part of, I dare not say the word history, but you'd certainly be part, as far as I'm aware, open to correction of broadcasting first. The first show ever broadcast from the highest point in Donegal. Would you like to be a part of that in some way or other? Let us know. 08 660 25000, preferably if you wanted to go up and you could fit me in a backpack. You know like one of those things they have from the baby's front? I'm about 12 and a half stone, five foot 11 and a half, six, I can squeeze six foot out of the right pair of shoes. Maybe a couple you could carry me up. That would be really nice, but hold jokes aside. If you want to get involved in that or you think you've got some ideas, it's just happened spontaneously yesterday. Get in touch with us, let's say. I'm not going to go up there. I'm not going to climb the top of Mount Arigal and have a row with Charlie McConnelogue, right? So don't worry about that, we'll go up there and have a bit of fun, a bit of crack. Woody, come up and chat to me. I don't know, I'm still on the blacklist. Right, Charlie McAfee on Facebook says, now I'll come back to that because it's not in the tone of my last conversation. Right, okay, 07 491 25000, be part of it, get involved with it.

It could be you. 0-8-3-0-9-1-0-7-0-7 My guest now is Brian Kelly of Neve Padraig, G.A. Club. Moff, good morning, Brian. I don't know where to start with you. I think I'll start with you and your wife and this amazing fundraiser that you undertook for Piatahouse. I know that's not primarily why we invited you on, but five K a day every day in May. An amazing thing to do, Brian. Yeah, thanks, Greg. I look in my daytime job as head of corporate social responsibility for TCS and Letterkenny. I'm always organizing and asking our TCS associates to volunteer for community projects and community activities as part of our TCS good corporate citizenship strategy. We're always asking for people to get involved with the local charities and local community groups. And one of our aims that I lead here in Letterkenny and across Ireland is to try and bridge the gap between our business objectives and what our community needs are. And I'm always asking for volunteers. So I decided, you know what, it's my time I did a wee project on my own and sort of lead by example, et cetera, when it comes to engaging with the community and with charities. So Grania, my wife, and I decided to do this five K a day every day to raise funds for Piatahouse, to raise funds and awareness for suicide and self harm, prevents and services, which Piatahouse provide free of charge. And that is their aim. They have enough funds raised so they'll always be free of charge for those people in crisis. And you know, we've all we've all known people who are in crisis and it's, you know, someone that touches every one of us every day and every family across Donegal and across Ireland. So it was it was a five K. It doesn't sound very difficult in fairness, but I think five K every day in May is all right. Brian, I don't think you need to play this down here. I think it's quite impressive. Providing you did five K every day in May. Not for speed, you know, so. I hear you. Yeah, it was it was during this time we started walking. Mama, my wife in fairness walks regularly and she started taking the plastic bag and the gloves with her when she's walking. I know that it's called plugging when you go jogging and you pick up litter. I don't know what the word for walking and picking up litter is. But the first day we went out, I was amazed on the road. You don't see it when you're driving around the the main roads or the back roads even when you know when you're when you're driving. But when you walk and you know, you're looking around you and a bit more and taking a bit more and it's awful. It's it's I was shocked at the level of any drink and drink bottles, plastic bottles, cans, coffee cups, takeaway stuff, just thrown out the window. Yeah, beer cans, wine bottles. Unbelievable what people are throwing out the window. Now we used to do this once once a year with the Gile Club here in Moff. And quite recently we joined, we set up a group of Gilega and the Gile Club and one of the tasks from the Gile Club was with regards to the group of Gilega was to get more involved as members within the community. So it sort of there was killing two birds with the one stone. So I said, you know, it's the same. We brought the bag the second day we went for a walk and we did the same area. And it was the same litter. You know what I mean? The next day we came back, it was there again. So to some extent and Brian, I'm sorry to move this forward because Ciaran's coming in to talk about business in a second. So as much as all the clubs and organisations coming together to pick up litter, is this a sort of a unified message to litter louts to stand up to them as well and say, look, we're doing this now, but watch what we're doing here. We're not looking to come back and do this next week again.  Absolutely. That's exactly what it is. We're asking all the local clubs from the Geley Club and Moff, Redcastle United, Quigley's Point Swifts, the Irish Scouts, the Irish Red Cross Youth Team, Redcastle Clean Coast, Moff Community Development, and Group of Gelege. All these groups are coming together in their club gear this weekend, 23rd, 24th, 25th of June. To pick up the litter, yes. But to make a stand to people, you know, this isn't on in our community. Right. It's not a good thing to do. Now, in fairness, the County Council are fantastic. They always smote wood, the bags and the pickers and stuff in fairness to pick up the rubbish as well. Yeah, and they organise three pickup points for the rubbish as well. So our local councillor here, Terry Croson, has played a main role in that as well with the council. But look, you know, it's terrible that we have to do this, but it's the same.  We were doing it as part of the yearly cleanup with the Geley Club, and there was a car that drove past as we were doing it. Slowed down and threw more stuff out the window. Oh, I worry, okay. So how do people get involved just in the last throw? And I might invite you back on next week, if that's all right, Brian, just to reinforce the message when we've more time, but also sort of give us an idea of who got involved and how much rubbish was collected. But if anyone... I know you've reached out to the clubs and they've reached out to the members, but if anyone wants to get involved, when, where, how? Well, they can contact me on<PHONE_NUMBER>, and they can follow the posters that are all over social media and in all local businesses in Moff, Quigley's Point, Red Castle, Drone, Clare, Eskiheen, et cetera. Brilliant, Brian. We'll do a follow-up. Well done to you and Granny as well, too, for your great initiative in May. Have a lovely day and a great weekend. Take care.

I'm only messing because I just shoved the camera in his face here. I have to take your word for it now, isn't it? Don't hide behind that, Mike. So I want to see those young looks of yours. Right, okay. Working Holiday Camp launch. Talk to me about this. Yes, the 2023 Working Holiday and Donegal Campaign launched in Jeter Carragurt last Tuesday will run until the end of October. This initiative will aim to provide opportunities for people to enjoy everything that Donegal has to offer and spend more time with family and friends. So it's a bit of a blended work on Anglic, Greg. Anyone who wishes to avail of the free Working Holiday voucher, log on to Donegal.ie forward slash work haul DL. Yeah, okay, good stuff. 35th Eric Lark's Festival just around the corner now. Yeah, it's hard to believe that. It's going that long, Greg. The launch of the 35th Eric Lark's Festival takes place this Friday, June the 23rd at 5.30pm at K2 Kinnegr Brewery. And that's located at Ballerina and Dostoe Street here in the Rikini. This year's Festival program will be officially unveiled by the new Cajera of the Rikini Mulford Municipal District Councillor Kevin Bradley. I've spoken to Paul Brown, CEO and artistic director of the Eric Lark's Festival last year, Greg, for the podcast. And during our conversation, he would have told me that that event generates around 1.5 million euro annually to the local economy. So it's a good earner. Yeah, really significant too. Great to see two of all women recognised. Yes, two Donegal women who are both former journalists have scooped awards in recent days. Joanne Swinney, formerly of this parish at Digital Marketing Consulting and author of Public Sector Marketing Pro was named established business woman of the year for 2023 in her adopted county of Golley. Joanne now goes forward to represent Network Air in Golley Branch at the National Finance in September that are being sponsored by AIB. And meanwhile, Rikini-based business Pumpskins which was founded by ex Donegal reporter Catherine Devine was selected as the Republic of Ireland winner in the Yes You Can pitching competition at the All-Island Entrepreneurs Conference presented by Women and Business. Pumpskins makes silicone gel covers for day at Betty's equipment. Such as insulin pumps, glucose monitoring systems and has distribution partnerships in 16 countries. We will have both ladies on the programme and the past, Greg. They're both doing extremely well and both very talented journalists in their own right as well. So good luck to them. Well done to both. Right now, and I'm talking to you in a shown Milotto winner if you've 1.45 million euro of loose change rattling in your pocket. What's up for grabs, Ciaran? Yeah, Clara House in Remeldon is the latest big property to go on the market, Greg. On the market, as you say, for 1.45 million. Built on a 23 acre site, it has nine bedrooms, numerous reception rooms and an overall area of seven thousand seven hundred square feet. I'd be tempted. Do you think you'd get planning permission for an extension though because I like even numbers and I'd like to bump that up to 12 rooms. You could dig down one way behind her. Numerous reception rooms, three, four, five. I need to know numbers before I commit. Well, listen, if you're contact sheriff or steward and properly partners Paul Reynolds, they're both looking after it. They'll keep you in the loop. And there's money in this country. What is it? 141 billion euro in household savings. Ciaran. 141 billion in household savings. So there's money out there. Right. Okay. Rethink Money. What's this? Yes, Rethink Money Limited, which was set up by Larry Kenyman, Sean McNulty has created Erlen's first piece of digital financial advice software. And Sean hopes it will change consumers and how consumers receive their financial advice. Rethink Money is described as the financial advisor on your pocket. It's a simple piece of software that allows anyone at any time to receive quality financial advice all from the comfort of their own home. We had Sean on the program last year. It's been nine years in the making, he's 10 years on the go and it's finally gone live. So Rethink Money Limited is fully licensed by the Central Bank of Ireland and for more information, log on to RethinkMoney.ie. Radio. Okay. So that's a roundup of some of the top news from the region and beyond. What's coming up on this week's podcast, Ciaran? Yeah. On this week's Business Matters, Greg, I talked to Donegal County councillor Anthony Malloy and Brendan Bralla-Sodano, who is a member of the Brainfield Trust. And we talked about Donegal County because it's a decision to lease the former courthouse and glendies together with its enclosed yard to the Brainfield Trust. I'll also be talking to Sean Doohan and there's daughter Amy, who along with Sean's mother Margaret, run the well-known Sharmaig Lodge in Falkara, which won Pump of the Year at the recent Highland Radio Customer Appreciation Awards. I think that was announced by yourself. So Greg, and then... So I was loaded, I can't remember. No, you weren't at that stage. I wasn't at any, so how long do you second that? It's all right for me to joke. I was at home when in bed at half-eleven. So whatever about anybody else? I was in here bright and early, fresh as a daisy the next morning, but I did make my own bed there with that comment, so I'm going to have to line it right. Thank you. Here you go. So Greg, an estimated 4.5 million Euro will be spent to transform the old courthouse and glendies into the Brainfield Centre, which has set to create up to 30 full-time jobs. I asked councillor Malloy how important the visitor's centre will be for glendies and the surrounding areas when it's up and running. Fantastic news for glendies. Indeed, the surrounding areas are caring and I was delighted to propose this project last Monday at our councillor meeting.  And so having a visitor centre like this will definitely attract a lot of visitors and tourists alike. We all know Brainfield of International Fame through short storytelling and drama and that there, so definitely will have a huge impact on the town of Glendies and this fantastic news. And in terms of job creation, what numbers are we talking about, Antony? Well, probably on completion. The project figures are in around 30 people at full-time employment here, you know, which is going to be a huge benefit to the area because, you know, as you know, Karen, there's not much employment here. And so this will be a significant boost regarding employment and that. And as I said, it will be a huge spin-off as well for other businesses as well. Yeah, okay. I mean, it's an incredibly historic building but everyone might not know that history here. Yeah. And I also spoke to Brendan Brattus O'Donnell and he talks about the old Courthouse building, which is over 150 years old. The Courthouse then is a fabulous building where the Brainfield centre will be because there's a big courtyard out the back as well to and is adjacent to the St. Collins Museum, which is hopefully going to be open now after a little hiatus as well, too. Like, so that's helping the town. And when we get the Brainfield centre going in the Courthouse structurally, Karen, it's unbelievable for a building that's close to almost 200 years, whatever, like 150 years plus. Like, it's just fantastic. You know, there's very little structurally wrong with it, if anything at all, like the original windows and doors and even the cells down below are there. And that's in the plans that they're going to be kept as well because it is, you know, it's a very important part of it, the structure of it and the history of it. So that will be kept as part of it with a few tweaks here and there as well, too. Brilliant stuff. Much more from Brendan and Anthony on the pod. We might come back to that topic. We'll talk a little bit now, though, about your next guests, Karen. Yeah, when the founder of the Charmotte Lodge and Falkerra, Jim Aduin, passed away in 1983, his daughter Margaret, took over the rolling of the bar on the Townsbane Street. 40 years on, Margaret is assisted by her son, Sean, and his daughter, Amy. Having spent 20 years working in construction in London, Luton and Manchester, Sean is happy to be back managing the family business. In this clip, Greg, Sean McCawess has decided to set up a beer garden at the back of the Charmotte Lodge three years ago, which was to prove crucial to the continued success of his business. Unfortunately, two weeks before COVID, Mum had a stroke and I actually tore my achilles on the same couple of days. So we were gushed. So when the two of us were recovering, we were obviously sitting out having a look-in around and whenever I was back on my feet, we decided to build the beer garden that she always wanted. And hopefully it's been going, it's been flying and it kept us going when we did eventually get serving outside. See, that's the insight. You get into business through this podcast, little things like that, but it's not little, but you know what I mean? Small business changes that make a big difference. You also chatted to Amy, Karen. Yeah. My conversation with Amy, Greg, I asked her if she sees herself staying in the family business, which she joined at the start of the pandemic back in 2020. Oh, I love working here. That's what people say. Would you ever go back to the shop? And I was like, yeah, I love the shop, but it's a completely different ballgame. Just being able to sit and have the crack with your customers is just great. And was this something that you always wanted to do or had you hopes and ambitions to do other things when you were in school? Well, I wanted to be a nurse when I was at school, so that's very, very different. But no, I love it here now, yeah. And obviously, working in the public, it was never something I wanted to do, but obviously with COVID, I was like, you know what? I'll give it a chance. And I love that. Yeah, and they were worthy winners of that Highland Radio Customer Services Award. Couldn't have gone to nicer people either. The full interviews with Councillor Anthony Malloy, Brendan Brattus O'Donnell, and Sean and Amy Doon are available to download now at highlandradio.com, or you can get it on Spotify, iTunes. And Business Matters also goes out on air on Sunday evening just after the six o'clock news. And if you want to contact Kieran or give feedback on the show, it's Business Matters at highlandradio.com. I just want to leave a bit of space for you on a recent trip in Dunfany. What was going on there? Yeah, I was down at the official opening Greg of Dunfany Youth FC football pitch on Hornhead. That's a great success story. It's the first time that the club has actually a club, a venue of their own. There were five years without a home. 18 months ago, they acquired and got the green light to develop a site down in Dunfany. And numerous people were marked last night about from nothing to this in 18 months. The first open was carried out by Pachy Bonner. It was a huge community effort. Peter McCary and Danny Ferry would have been the main drivers there. And a very fitting decision. The club have named the park after Lilith Kelham Freel, a young man who died unfortunately, a young man three years ago. So well done to Dunfany. And it was a night that will live long in the memory for everybody involved in the Chrisley and Dunfany area. Well said. Lovely tribute as well. Kiran, thank you very much indeed. Kiran, back with us next Wednesday, just around about 11.30 also. We're back with you tomorrow morning at 9. News is going to be slightly late. John Breslin comes up thereafter. The 9 till noon show is brought to you by Letter Kenny Credit Union. Offering low rate holiday loans.


Bouncer is a molecule found on the surface of eggs that determines whether or not two different species of fish will be able to successfully fuse together during fertilization. In some cases, such as between Medaka and Zebrafish, Bouncer prevents these two species from being able to fuse together, while in other cases, such as between seahorses and fugus, it allows them to fuse together despite being from different species. This suggests that there are two opposing forces at play when it comes to Bouncer's role in species, specific fertilization, one that restricts fertilization to closely related species, and another that allows for more broadly compatible species.

Hello and welcome back to The Craft Box. My name is Brenton. Today, we're in episode 105 of The Wizard 101 Death Walkthrough. Last episode, if you haven't checked it out already, we made it into Stone Town. And today, we're starting by talking to The Guard. I could then let you in without worrying about my post. I'll skip the next one because I don't actually know how many battles we're actually having in this episode because I don't know. So, yeah, we'll just do the fifth one, why not. Wait, okay. Not too bad, man. How much health do you have, man? 167, okay. If you say so, we'll do this just because you say so, man. Also, so we can kill next round. Pew! What's this? This is a... Oh, it's a trap. Okay, that's unfortunate. And... here we go. Pew! Oh, critical. He did, man. He did. He did. Bye. Bye. Yay, there we go. Okay, I'll be back in just a sec once I've defeated two more of these. Okay, just finished off. That'll let us head on back to Amar Shop Tusk. Who is just over here. There's a nice wee teleporter to bear that crossroads, which is cool. So we don't have to go all the way back, which is nice. Well fought. Thank you for chasing them off. The chaos is getting closer every day. While you were fighting, I told Queen Arianna about you. She said to send you right in. Of course, of course she did. Didn't even have to take me in, of course. You know, that's just the way it goes these days. Okay, let us head on over to Arianna. I really hate this because it's so far away. Like, it's just ridiculous, honestly. You are the envoy from Zarmunda. I don't see any stripes. Ah, I see. What word from Zarmunda? Will they release my son? Lay down arms and pay retribution? Or must we destroy them? You say they do not have my son? And the evil magician who cursed them has been driven out? Your words have the ring of truth wizard. Sadly, my people are too caught up in the bloodlust to sheath their swords. The only way to end this war is to find my son. Speak to my trusted advisor, war-oliphant Hathi Ayanthrunk. He said they caught another wizard. He will talk with you. Okay, let us do this, then. Hathi Ayanthosk. Oh, there. He's so nice. I remember him. I love collecting reagents around here because they're actually, like, good. Oh yeah, you're in here. You make us defeat things again, don't you? Yup, she does. He does. I'm lucky.  Prince Tiziri, you went to study with your people, didn't you? Like the stories of our first queen who left the jungle to learn. And now look what's happened. We are at war, madness in our streets. We did catch a wizard who confirmed our suspicions. Zebras kidnapped the prince. We put the wizard in the zoological gardens. If you want to talk to him, ask the Greyhorn mercenary, Rock City Steelhorn. Okay, we will do that then. And we will say if we can meet this wizard. Wizard. Hopefully, we're able to save him. Because then we don't have to save as many people later. It's a win-win, to be honest. Okay, hello. You want to see the wizard? Not without a royal order, you don't? Go tell Hathi the zoo, he's closed. Of course. Okay, that's cool. We will do that then. Hathi. Hathi, where are you? Hathi. Hathi, Hathi. Hathi. Hathi, hello. How rude! I know, right? Those Greyhorns are getting out of hand. Go back to the Dori Johnny Palace and ask Queen Arianna for her royal ring. If you bring it to me, I can write a royal order. Mmm, you just want to steal it, eh? You just want to steal it, means. Well, let's find out what we're gonna do with the royal ring and see if we can actually get into the Zoological Gardens, man. Because I hope we can, because that would be great. Um, Dori Johnny Palace. Hello. Pew, pew, pew. I don't know. I make really weird sounds when I'm recording, just... I don't even know why. Like... Honestly, no clue. Ah, young wizard! What have you been up to? You need my royal ring? But if it's for Hathi, I suppose... Here you go. Don't lose it. Hmm, okay. Let's not lose it then. Hathi, iron tusk. Hathi, Hathi, Hathi, Hathi. Hathi. Hathi, Hathi. Hathi, load please. I honestly have no idea what I do when I'm recording, and when I watch it back I'm always, like, cringing. But, to be honest, I honestly don't really care, because, I mean, at least I'm being myself. I'm not fake. Um... I mean, I could always be fake and be, like, always happy. I mean, I always seem to be happy, even when I'm not. But, like, yeah, I don't know. Well done. Now that we have the royal ring, I can write you a royal order. There's just one team. But, I forget what it is. Wait, I know. I never forget a thing. Some scoundrels broke into my tower yesterday and stole my pen and parchment. I need you to hunt these Muthuth berserkers down and get my pen and parchment back. I do it myself only. They are dangerous. Okay, let us... Um... Yeah, collect this first time and then we should be. We should be. Actually, you know what? We'll do that next episode. I'll do this in between episodes, because... it could take a while, and... Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll end off the episode here. I know it's kind of short. Um... But, yeah, I've got to get a lot of videos recorded so I can actually catch up on to where I should be. Mm-hmm. So, you're gonna have a lot of videos coming.
