Well perhaps we have three takeaways from Fiji. The first one is the regulatory dialogue and the active engagement between financial regulators and telecom regulators to provide an enabling environment is fundamental. Fiji since 2017 has served as a platform bringing together regulators from the financial sector and the telecom sector, the international organizations, digital financial services, ecosystems, stakeholders to work together towards advancing financial inclusion. This is true of any digital transformation project where domain experts from the digital or ICT domain co-create with the domain experts from finance, healthcare, transportation or any other vertical being transformed through this digital transformation journey. In the case of Fiji the partners from the banking sector were the World Bank and the Bank of International Settlements and from the ICT or digital sector it has been the ITU. The Bill and Mellon Decades Foundation provided generous financial support and especially guidance towards achieving financial inclusion globally. So that's the first one. The second is the technical guidance. We had three working groups on digital ID, security and electronic payments and these groups developed technical knowledge that is shared globally on these areas. The first one on the security infrastructure and trust led by the ITU. We developed nine technical reports. The electronic payments acceptance led by the World Bank developed two reports and the digital identity group developed two reports including a policy toolkit. So this technical guidance I would say is one of the key deliverables takeaways from Fiji over the course of the past three or four years. In particular in the area led by the ITU a number of these reports found their way towards international standards and reports published by ITU study groups. One in the area of quality of service and experience of the network, another on enhancing security of the SS7 protocol, the fundamental international telephony signaling protocol developed by the ITU and the third is on identity management and the authentication insurance framework. And the third takeaway of Fiji is the country implementations on the ground teams from the World Bank and the ITU working hand in hand with the telecom and the financial regulators and experts towards implementing the payments aspects of financial inclusion or the PAFI report, the reports from the ITU focus group on digital financial services and of course the Fiji working group reports and that experience will be shared in the symposium. So these are probably the three takeaways from and lessons learned from Fiji. COVID-19 I think has highlighted the importance of financial inclusion when you cannot have contact between governments and people, for example, to disperse social aid during the pandemic. It has become very clear to many member states around the world, especially in developing countries, how critical it is to have financial services through digital means and through mobile phones. So what we will see in the future beyond Fiji is an acceleration and a scaling of Fiji beyond the three implementation countries. We have seen a surge in demand by the member states of the ITU in support in the areas of regulation and technology to scale Fiji beyond these three countries. The second area is to leverage the ITU digital financial services security lab and make it available to member states who are embarking on financial inclusion. This DFS security lab is a product of our learning over the past six years since 2014 of the ITU in the digital financial services and this lab provides tools for security audit and testing of DFS applications based on the USSD channel, the SIM toolkit and the Android and developer resources for the FIDO Alliance which provides authentication. So a number of technical areas related to security and authentication where the lab will enable DFS regulators to build confidence and trust in the use of digital financial services, assess digital financial service provider security compliance and enhance adoption of interoperable authentication technologies. And the third area beyond Fiji is to embark on open APIs or application programming interfaces which are critical in the digital finance area and the fintech area. APIs are sort of the glue between the applications and the various data sets and services in this area. So this Fiji symposium is the third and final symposium in a series of three. The first one was in India. The second was hosted by Egypt. This year we have a fully digital Fiji symposium and it is spread over time from 18th of May to the 24th of June with about four sessions per week, two sessions per day and two days per week. So we expect to have this symposium opened by a head of state demonstrating the importance that member state give to this financial inclusion and to Fiji. It will be closed by a minister and in the course of those four weeks we will be doing stop taking and sharing experience from the working groups and the country implementations. We will have a new track focused on gender inclusion because many women around the world, young and older, are not financially included and many are really acting as a key factor in the economic growth of their locality, village or country and having them included provides them with more autonomy, more capability to grow and really getting them included in the economic cycle. So we have a very special focus on not only including people in general in the financial sector, but we have a special focus on gender inclusion.

finished sketchbooks and reference books I want to keep but don't refer to all the time are in one of our guest rooms upstairs and there you go like yeah that whole thing is full of art stuff I know right oh and in case you see that over my shoulder does that bring back memories for anybody yes it's not plugged in although as far as we're aware it probably works but it's probably full of dust money so it's not being plugged in unless somebody can come clean it out I don't want to start a fire anyway um upstairs working on that and so some media stuff finished my copy tatted with dad forgot to tell him some funny stories which I might call him back to tell him uh anyway my brother and his new wife will be here at about two I think they're spending the night we have instructions to call dad when they get here not sure why but okay bob is outside setting off the ring every two minutes because he is de-icing de-snowing the car and driveway again um oh crap I have to do dishes yeah

what the deal is anyway it is a winter wonderland outside as you can see I'm kind of walking slow because I'm a little worried it's a little icy and it is um gotta get the mail though yesterday we didn't get the mail and we didn't get any garbage delivery our pickup yeah we brought ours in late last night anyway my brother and his wife are so here and Grace my sister in law wants to do some

gonna go get breakfast while we're out I do think we're gonna go do dinner while we're out a dad is coming down and they are taking him with them back to California um which was all gonna happen tomorrow but I think they're doing it a day early because of this stuff on the road so anyway that's what I know at the moment I need to go check on where my mail is at my guess is too much of the black ice on the road they couldn't get down here yesterday that's what I'm thinking anyways it's why we didn't get garbage pickup yesterday so all right I'll be back Wednesday morning December 29th 9 a.m. straight up don't get excited I'm in front of the computer it's the only way I know anyway my dad and brother and his wife and my and Bob are all off at the local mom and pop donut shop picking up some donuts for breakfast I stayed home to get some stuff done I started a little laundry called the post office where's my mail so it was a combination of weather and staffing shortages I'm guessing COVID right so anyway they said they got it all cleared up and the mail should be here today I'll cut it we'll see if that actually happens I'm not going to hold my breath anyway after everybody gets back and they have their donut and some more coffee those who want to will go walking and I think this morning dad is here overnight and my brother and his wife are here for a few more

yeah I have two I thought I thought last night because I had one of those just menopausal nights where you can't sleep because your brain won't turn off y'all know what I mean I know you do anyway I'm gonna make myself a little reference card with um pen and ink shading ideas like just basics nothing too involved because I get it you get into the habit of just doing say cross hatching and then you forget about any of the other ways to shade your pen and ink drawings before you watercolor I have this really good book called pen and ink um and it's by Walter Foster and there's a lot of different ways in the book of shading drawings I'm gonna make myself a little like um reference card this morning I'm probably gonna make make one and then photocopy it on my printer and then um have one up here and one downstairs so yeah because you know you get in the habit of something oh maybe I'll just copy this page so you get in the habit of just doing say the line work and you forget about all the other ways there is to shade something so I want to make myself a little reference card um yeah so I'm going to do that this morning this is a good book to pull ideas out of so I'm going to do that that's on my project that's my main project today because we're not going anywhere we need to go grocery shopping at some point so that'll be a thing but it won't be until after Mike and Grace leaves for sure and I think if we can get by with what we have until tomorrow after they're going to be back to pick dad up tomorrow and they're taking dad to California so I think if we can get by until all that gets done we'll just wait but we'll see all right that's it for the minute I'll be back it's been a busy morning so I was upstairs I almost forgot I had a second video call live this morning so by sharing that all over my socials Grace is having problems with her macbook and so she's gonna go to the gym and take a little break from it and then she's gonna probably have to call apple support when she gets back meanwhile the guys are working on bob's barracuda so I'm going to sneak my way into the garage I was thinking they had the garage door open but they don't so let me sneak my way into the garage and get some footage and or photos because bob's barracuda has her own instagram so anyway let's get some stuff for that and his wife Grace are off to just see some friends about a half an hour away they're going to spend the night there they'll be back in the morning to pick up my dad and they're going to take him to california with them for about a week or so

looks icy a little bit a little slushy um but we have to go to the grocery store so we got all our errands done sort of yeah thanks to the broken supply chain and stuff and it being the holidays there were a few things we couldn't find so we had to make substitutions at the store and or just give up the ghost and order from amazon when we got back so we did that we had some lunch got everything put away now we're gonna try to catch up on our lack of step count in the last week or so and go do some walking because yeah we haven't done a lot of that it's not snowing it's also not icy I don't know if you all could hear what he said but it's not raining out it's not snowing and uh yeah it's also not icy so we're gonna go carefully because it is a bit slippery but we're gonna go get some steps in and see what we can see I'll be back guys it is new year's eve December 31st it is 11 21 a.m the kids are all coming over tonight for dinner and we'll stay up until probably just past midnight try to print a wish list from mouseloft now mouseloft is a uk-based company that does mini cross stitch kits that's what they specialize in I usually order them from them in California I had a couple of stitching shops that carried their products but in Oregon since we moved I was just starting to investigate stores that might have it um when the pandemic hit and I didn't order some things directly from mouseloft and I'm working on those I did the one last night at the little vw bus hold on I'll get it um this one isn't that cute they're really little see and I've done uh in the drawer have a seahorse from them which is I think an older one um I don't know if there's there's other embroidery kits in here but I don't think there's any more of the mouseloft ones anyway I'm looking to um not only work on the ones I have but maybe order a few more only I'm having trouble getting any uk companies that will ship this way because of the pandemic so if y'all have any ideas or you're watching it on the year in the uk and you have a retailer that carries mouseloft and you are willing to go pick some up for me I'll send you my wish list uh anyway so um and I'll put their website address down below y'all can check it out it's nice to just have a little sort of mini art project you can take with you that you know you've got all the parts for the kits are really literally only this big it has everything included except scissors yeah anyway all right so and I've already wrapped up a at the order that I'll deliver I'll take to the post office on Monday for delivery um and the house is ready to go otherwise so I think we're gonna just stay at home and be quiet and I'm gonna have some lunch in a bit and yeah celebrate New Year's I'll be back I got one of these gigantic blanket things for Christmas I ordered it for myself anyway hold on I don't think it's supposed to touch the floor unless you're what is my new sister-in-law call me oh yeah tiny aka short my friend Leslie McGrath she's really tall this wouldn't touch the floor on her but hold on I'll show you there we go so can you even see the floor like it's big like this it has a tie there's loops right here I didn't put the tie on it's like wearing a blanket hold on you still can't see hold on so yeah so I don't think it but that's okay so we have the cold snowy days I'm gonna be nice and toasty warm but right now we're gonna be having New Year's Eve with the family later probably isn't a good way to greet guests so I'm gonna go downstairs and like fix this up and take this off I'll be back okay oh my god I got another bag alteration done a drawing bag I got a second one of my black bags in a different print to use for my gel pen drawings and I need to sew an elastic pocket on the outside and so I did that I'll show you in a minute when we go downstairs I also did filmed a journal flip through of my two main 2021 sketchbooks and that is going up on both the public channel and the patreon channel the patrons get a talky blathering version and you all over on the public channel only get this sped through version sorry I also took my sort of year of my life journal that I used to do a lot more of these this is what I used to do to document my journey in things now I'm really mainly drawing but anyway I had bits and pieces stuffed in there and so I pulled them all out and sorted them um is it everything no but it's most things and you know what um anyway so I got one of my so two sewing projects was done which was the bag I got this laid out so I can catch up on that next week if not this weekend I've also got some more classes to do for the shine burger course I'm doing which is what that stack is there and in the meantime I'm going to finish and at the editing these videos and get them loaded to the two youtube channels and um then we'll see where I am after that and yes I curled my hair and like did a little bit of makeup and things so anyway all right that's it for the minute I'll be about right so there's a particular bag from amazon that I'm really enjoying for my daily art stuff well there's a couple bags but the one in particular you've all seen it looks like this and I attach some elastic to the outside to hold my sketchbook and then all my parts fit inside the bag so I have a second one in a different color and that would be this so I got some out to elastic this one because the sketchbooks are thinner we'll hold two and now we're all good yeah the other bag I like is a little bit bigger because it holds my other daily drawing stuff which is significantly bulkier and at least at the moment it won't fit in here so that's okay also a little small my favorite cosmetic bag which I've shown on the channel before it has all my downstairs stitching stuff and a little small cross stitch kits and stuff like that anyway I'm gonna put the lunch dishes away and I think Bob's working on the barracuda getting some stuff done before um the new year celebration and yeah anyway I'll be back hey everybody yes I'm still on my pajamas yes I'm not very awake yes I just found a glaringly obvious huge editing error in the messy journal or video that just went live so I guess I'm starting my morning off fixing that happy new year okay I think we maybe have the house back together so we are now going to take crazy pants for a walk um so she's all ready to go for a w alk it's 28 degrees outside so we're layered up and we're gonna get that done but the house is all clean and caught up and I think we're gonna let the Christmas decorations go until tomorrow and

What is the longest river in Africa? Tell me, what is the use of that rubbish? So, you went into school and you were studying how many times Muslims pray per day? Ya. You wake up at night to study how many times Muslims pray per day.  And at the end of the day, what did they produce? They produced someone who was a container of useless knowledge. A container of useless knowledge. That is why today, we have doctors, we have been independent for 55 years. Have you heard that there are vaccines being made by Zambian doctors? So, you walk out of medical school as someone who knows when to give panado. How to take temperature.  And it's not your fault, the education system. You have professors in this country, in the school of forest at Copper Belt University. We have lived with mukula tree since God created the world. All they know is how to label the parts of the tree. They don't know the value of the tree. So, when this mission succeeded, then they came to set up industries. And when they set up industries, who was the laborer? The graduates from the school of remembering. Someone who would remember how to dig, where to dig. Someone who would remember how to cut a tree and how many pieces. Someone who would remember. And they rewarded you with a bribe called a salary and we became comfortable. So, when they come into Africa, what are they coming to do?  So, this is what made Africa poor.


Hey, psyched goers, and welcome back to another video. Thank you all so much for the love and support that you've given us, enabling us to make yet another exploration into everyday psychology. So let's begin. How often have you described someone as shy? Surely you can think of someone, or maybe it's even you who's shy and introverted. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and you can often live a normal life. However, what happens if the shyness is so intense and extreme that we shut ourselves out from the world? What if we fear criticism and disapproval from others so much that we limit what we can do? This is often the case with avoidant personality disorder, also known as AVPD. Before we begin, please remember that this is for informative purposes only. It's not intended to treat, diagnose, or prevent any condition. If you resonate with any of the signs mentioned, please do reach out to a qualified mental health professional. With that said, here are six signs that define avoidant personality disorder. Number one, intense fear of rejection. Do you go to extreme lengths to avoid rejection? Are you extremely sensitive to criticism? Fear of rejection is the biggest telltale sign of avoidant personality disorder. While disliking and fearing rejection is relatively common, AVPD takes this to a new level.  You may also repeatedly perceive situations as negative, despite the contrary. According to Psychology Today, this can be so severe to the point that you prefer isolation over the possibility of getting rejected. Number two, a lack of close relationships. So, you spot your coworker at the mall. Uh-oh. What's your immediate course of action? Is it more tempting to run and hide or greet them? Ultimately, this huge fear of being rejected translates into difficulties in forming relationships. If you go to great lengths to avoid surprise meetings, even with those you see on a regular basis otherwise, this might be a red flag. You prefer to avoid others at all costs, unless you know that you'll be accepted. Even in relationships, you may fear intimacy and push others away. According to a study, you may find interacting with others difficult and intimidating, so you prefer to stay away from this, thus limiting your social network. Number three, avoiding risk-taking. Have you ever turned down opportunities for a promotion or job changes due to fear that you might do something wrong? People with AVPD have a tendency to avoid risks or anything that might result in failure. Failure can be embarrassing, which is something that opens the door to rejection and ridicule. This limits you in what you're willing to do, which makes it hard to gain new experiences. This can extend to work situations as well. Earning any kind of disapproval is a scary thought, so you try to limit it as much as possible. Number four, excessive shyness. Is meeting new people stressful and unappealing to you? Does your need to avoid other people at all costs often lead to social isolation? Even talking with others that you do know can be difficult, as it opens the door to potential disapproval. When with others, you find that your thoughts are loud and overpowering, often negative, and putting you down. You might prefer to stay inside than go out with others. Even if that's an activity you think would be fun, the fear of rejection takes over and impacts your decisions. Number five, low self-esteem. Avoidant personality disorder brings with it feelings of inadequacy. You might compare yourself to others and feel unworthy. You can also feel socially inept due to limited social interaction and your constant self-criticism. Self-esteem problems make it harder to interact with others and can cause you to become even more isolated. And number six, avoids conflict. Since this disorder primarily revolves around fearing disapproval and rejection, you may notice that you avoid conflict at all costs. People-pleasing is very common and can lead to issues. You might settle for less and get involved in undesirable situations so that you can avoid disapproval. This can also cause issues in other areas as you can find yourself unable to make decisions when other people are involved. Please note that this disorder varies from person to person. Someone with a condition may feel all, some, or different from what is listed here. The disorder can be comorbid with other conditions such as anxiety and depression, which can result from social isolation and fear of rejection. It's important to know that this condition can be treated and with the right professional help, you can immensely improve. We hope we were able to give you insight into some of the ways you can identify avoidant personality disorder. What are your thoughts on AVPD? Are there any signs that we missed?

The program cannot analyze the USB drive because it lacks a file system. In order to recover data, you need to analyze the USB drive as a physical device rather than its file system. Select the USB drive from the physical disks list. Scan it using full analysis. As a result, here is what you see. The program detected several partitions in the cleaned USB drive.


Here's how to use SageMathCell. Open a modern web browser and go to the address htdps colon slash slash sagecell dot SageMath dot org. What you'll see is a single input box that's ready to accept your code. Now, by default, this is using the Sage language, which is great if you want to abstract mathematics, but if you look in the lower right is a drop-down box that offers other languages. For example, you could use octave if you want to use MATLAB light code, or R if you're going to use do pure statistics, or a singular if you want to work on computer algebra. However, for basic numerical programming, we're going to use pythons. Let's select that. The input-output system here is very simple. I can type in some code, like say 2 plus 2, and hit Evaluate. And in this case, I don't see anything. The computer will only print things if we ask it to print. You can keep going back to the box, typing, and either hitting Evaluate or Shift Enter has the same effect. Now I want to demonstrate some of the features and syntax of the Python programming language. So I'm going to go to my box and clear its input, just with backspace or control and delete. And let's do a basic loop. One of the key things that computers do for us is they can do the same thing repeatedly. And the loop syntax in Python is extremely convenient, but a bit unusual if you're used to programming language like C or Java. So the basic idea here is we want to talk about ranges. So for example, suppose I want to count from 0 to 9. I could say something like this. For I in range 10, print I. And notice it prints 0 through 9. So there are a couple of things to deconstruct here. First of all, we declare a local variable I, which inside the for loop, right, for each set up of the for loop I is defined. And notice also that the interior of the for loop is not designated with curly braces or anything like that. It's actually designated by the fact that it's spaced in with four spaces. So this is a feature of Python which irritates some people, but it ends up being extremely convenient in the long run, that interior blocks of code, such as the inside of a loop or the inside of an if statement and so on are designated by being spaced inwards. Now range 10 is the command here, which is going from 0 to 9. So let me actually just demonstrate that. For example, maybe instead of going from 0 to 9, I want to go from 100 to 300. So notice that range 100-300 starts at 100, so it starts at that first number. And it goes down to 299. So the effect here is that we start at the starting number and we end one before this. And therefore, when we typed, for example, range 10, that's actually a shorthand for range 0, 10. If you don't give it a starting position, it assumes that it's 0, of course. So we can count from 0 to 9, that is count through the first 10 numbers starting at 0 with range 0, 10. Now we can also count by, let's say count all the even numbers. We can say 0, 10, 2 in our range command. And now it counts starting at 0, stopping right before it hits 10, and counting by twos. So we have start, stop, and the step size, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8. So for example, we can say let's go from 1 to 27 by 3. We go 1, 4, 7, etc., and we stop at 25. The reason we stop at 25 is if you add 3 to 25 or at 28, which is bigger than or equal to 27, the stopping point. So this is how we do loops in Python. We can do multiple loops also. So for example, you might want a second loop. Let's go for i in range 0, 10, and for j in range 3, let's print. And now we're going to do a little bit of demonstrating some syntax here for printing. So there's two things to see here. i is blank, j is blank. So here, notice I have a nested loop. So we're going to count from 0 to 9. And then for each of those, within each of those, we're going to count from 0 to 2. That's range 3. And now inside that second loop, we're going to print what i and j are. This curly brace syntax is quite useful for printing out numerical answers. So here's the output of this. So we know that we're going to actually have 30 lines of output. i is 0, j is 0, i is 0, j is 1, i is 0, j is 2. So that's in the first step of i here and the three steps there. And then we run through in blocks of 3 inside the over running from 0 to 9. Okay, so with that done, the next thing I want to do is demonstrate lists. So let me say, let's say l, and we're going to use square brackets for lists. So this isn't going to be an empty list, if I say print l, I see an empty list. Now I could also do things like this. I could say l is 1, 2, 3, 4, and I could say print l, and that's my list. Now the thing that's nice about the Python loop system is that anything you can count through, say a list, can be used as something to loop over. So let me make this list a little more interesting. Let's say 1, 2, 3, dog, fish, elephant, 4, a list can actually contain any sort of object at all, a number, a string, another function, whatever you might want to do. So say for i and l, print i. So this first line of output is printing the entire list, print l. And it of course prints exactly as we expect. It's a list, distributed by square brackets, separated by commas of the objects on the side. Now what we're going to do is loop through the list, so for each item in the list, we're going to print that item, 1, 2, 3, dog, fish, elephant, 4. So this is actually very similar to the range statement, right, so compare these two statements. So this statement here, range 4 is acting just like lists. So range 4 is essentially creating a list, technically it's actually an enumerator object, but it's essentially creating a list of the numbers designated by the range command. So looping is very simple in Python. You make a list or a range of whatever size and whatever content you'd like, and you just say for variable name in that object, do whatever you want to do. So there's one more thing I want to say about lists, and that's list comprehension. So let me make a nice simple list here, let's just say 1, 2, 3, 4. And I could do it, say on a square each of these numbers, I could say for i in L, I could say print i times i. So of course that's 1, 4, 9, 16. But maybe I want to make a list out of that, there are two ways to do that. Just sort of the slow way, let's call this my list k, and let's make an empty list. And what I want to do is for each item in the list L, square it and place it inside the list k. So instead of printing that number, I'm going to append it to the list k. So I'm going to use the syntax, which looks a little strange at first, but I'll explain it in just a moment, k dot append i, or i times i. And now once that's done, let's print the list k. So you see what's happening here is we've made a list manually, we created an empty list. For each item in the old list, we're going to append that number times itself to the new list k. And then once that entire thing is done, again, we know we're done with the loop because we're no longer indented here, we're going to print the new list. There's one more way to do this in Python, which is very, very slick. Let me call this list k2. And we can actually say it all in one line. So let's say I'm going to make a list of i times i for i in L. So you see we've sort of embedded the for loop inside a list statement. And of course, we get the same results. This is called list comprehension in Python. And it lets you sort of write things when you think about them mathematically. So I have a list of numbers one through four. For each thing in that list, I want to square it and make a new list. So this is sort of like the sequence syntax we use all the time in math where we say like let's make a list k, k sub i is equal to i squared, for example. I want to talk a little bit about the syntax I was using for this dot notation. So what I'm about to type is not actual code, but again, okay, so my name is Abe. So I'm some sort of object, right? And you might want to say grammatically, I want to eat a bagel. So this is how you would write that in the object-oriented language Python. So Abe is sort of the active player here, the object under consideration. And the thing it's going to do is it's going to eat and what is the input of the eat command it's bagel. So object dot function name or command name or method name is a very common way to write things. Some commands don't have inputs, for instance, Abe dot sleep would presumably mean I should go to sleep. And there's no sort of input to the sleep command. It's simply an operation that this object would do. So in this sort of analogy, by the way, if you put a pound sign in front of something, it comments it out. So you can sort of leave it there and it won't be the other way to encode. So to demonstrate this, let me again do L is one, two, three, four. And I can say L dot append, 27, then I'm going to print L. So right now L is one, two, three, four. So the L object, this list object, it's going to do something, it's going to append. What is it going to append? It's going to append the number 27. And now our list is one, two, three, four, 27. So we've seen loops. We've seen indentation. We've seen how to print things. We've seen how to do basic operations and objects. The last thing I want to do in this demonstration is show you how to import packages. So the key things we're going to use inside of the computing are the NumPy package and the SciPy package. And occasionally the Scikit-learn package. So these packages are not part of sort of basic Python. In order to use them, we have to import them, right, bring a library into our programming environment. And the command is reasonably enough import. So we just say import NumPy. And whenever you import something, you can actually run help on it. And it gives you sort of a brief summary of what that package can do.


Hi, everybody. So welcome for this new Jenkins infrastructure meeting. The main thing that I would like to talk now, and Jeff joined the meeting, meaning for that, is now that you have a code signing certificate for Jenkins core releases. He was interested to see if we could also sign components, not just Jenkins core releases, but also components like remoteing, which, personally, I think would be a really good idea. The thing is now it brings a specific challenge, like, should we, I mean, specific technical challenges, but like, should we reuse the release at CI to Jenkins environments to sign those components? Should we allow maintainers to trigger jobs on that machine? Should we deploy something else? So I just created this morning a specific ticket for this, which is, where is that? Infra 2619. I don't know if you have, I think we'll have to continue the discussion on the meeting, but I don't know if you already have any inputs or ideas or opinion on this. So for me, I like the idea, and would defer it completely, defer any implementation on it, at least from you, Olivier, or from me, or even from potentially Tim, until after we get security and LTS releases under control and resolve for core release automation. Concept sounds good, but the schedule-wise, I would rather not distract us at all. So from a scheduled point of view, when is the next time, Jeff, when do you need to renew the code sign certificate for the trees? I'll follow you. That's the one concern of the schedule from the remoting side, is that I've been purchasing an individual code signing certificate for remoting. And it expires here really soon now. So it's, I think, exactly June 12th or 10th. I could look it up. It's right about then. Now, I don't have any current plans for a remoting release at the moment. So it's not like I have to have something immediately. But there's a big hope of not having to purchase another code signing one for anything that, individual code signing certificate for anything that might come up for yet another year. Yes.  And it's cheaper for us to do that than to risk trying to accelerate the delivery of the core release automation capability. And if we derail core release automation, that has a much bigger impact than if we spend $500 of Jenkins project money. I'm just wondering, is it enough to just use them having a release plugin for it? Because then we can reuse most of the process that we already have for the weekly releases. We don't have to add in specific parameters or whatever. How do you release the remoting? Jeff, is it Maven release, prepare, and perform? Yeah, that's all I do. I have a profile that I, two of them that I use myself that contains the GPG signing key and the code signing certificate information. And then I just do Maven release, prepare, perform, and just do it. It's really pretty easy. So no, but you are having to answer the interactive prompts for release, prepare, release, perform, or have you gotten past any interactive prompts having to be answered? I've never, I do answer the interactive prompts. And so, I mean, the part of it that I know Olivia, and I talked about a little bit, is how do we know when to trigger one of these. And then we'd have to set it up to be like a default answer to the interactive prompts or something like that. I was just wondering on the triggering of this, couldn't we just have a different folder in the release.ci and then put some folder authorization on and allow access to the maintenance of the remoting? So I think the reason why I would not feel that that would not specifically like the idea of letting more access to that specific machine is because then we'll have to maintain our permission to release the CI-D Jenkins.io. So I was just more thinking maybe to have something like a front-task that triggered Java or maybe once we merge to master, we just automate the deployment. The thing is for now, I think because it's only one component, it's fine to just, let's have me or whoever to trigger that thing, but more globally, I feel like we are just opening a door here. And not only Jeff, we want to sign components. Jeff's need is distinct in that he is currently, he's already delivering signed components. There aren't any other plugins that I'm aware of or other components that are delivering signed, except I guess the Windows installer, maybe WinSW, but in general, the Jenkins plugin commonly is not signed, right? Remoting is distinct that way. It does sign and it should. Because then as a first iteration, I'm totally fine to just add a new job, maybe under like a team suggested, like we have a component folder and under that component folder, we just add that new job and that's it and maybe trigger it when we need it. Do you have an idea how often you release it? You're on mute. Jeff, you're muted, Jeff. Or silent if you're not muted, you're silent. Same.  Okay, there we go. Like clicking things so rapidly, not responding, but it couldn't tell what I was doing or I couldn't tell what it was doing either way. Yeah, so typically I only release Remoting like once every few months. When I have something bigger that's going on, sometimes there's a little bit more to do. WebSockets was the most recent significant example of that and it was, there's a little bit going on with that, but it's stabilized. So the only thing I have actually in the queue right now to be concerned about is some work that I had going on that I don't have enough time to finish for a while at least. So it's not terribly common to figure like every couple of months, maybe a release. Yeah, so I don't think it would put too much pressure on us if we just manually trigger the job for now and then we can work on having our automating. It's a wonderful. So Olivier, when you say manually trigger to keep the permission definition simple, it means you or Daniel or Oleg would trigger because you don't intend to grant Jeff permission to release.ci.jankins.io. That's what I mean for now, yeah. Great, okay. And that sounds good to me for clarity. I just wanted to be sure I understood. Great. The thing is if we grant Jeff means that we have to update the configuration of release.ci.jankins.io to have more fine grant control on who can do what. And the other thing that I'm just suggesting here is just like we drop a new job within your Jenkins file for remoting and we just reuse what we have today. And so under the people who can trigger core releases can also trigger remoting. And so we move forward in this way. Great, super. So that's all. Yeah, so if you don't have any other questions, I propose them. And I'm fine with basically any of these proposals that we have here. I mean, I could continue the individual signing certificate though I don't really want to, but the idea of keeping it and then me asking one of the existing maintainers, Daniel, for example, or Olivier to release, I'm fine with that too. Okay, but then I propose to first, I look at, I'll try to reuse what you have today to see if we can reuse that. And so if it doesn't take me too much time, I try to do it as soon as possible. So if it does not work or if I realize that I'm gonna need some much more time, then we investigate other options. Sounds good. It sounds like we have a sufficient set of options and a sufficient understanding to proceed. Yep. So then the next topic with, while you're still speaking about, talking about the release environment, I don't know, Mark, if you had, if you made any progress with testing packages. Did not. I still don't have the pull request ready. So right now it's still me running those tests interactively. Because interactively is such a funny word to say. I edit a line in the file and run the job. Because I've been wondering recently, because I'm having now quite big peer that I would like too much. So for the LTS and the security releases, I'm wondering what would be the best way to have a dev environment where we could validate this kind of work. And I think it could interest you as well, because I would feel more confident to be sure that we don't break the release process, especially for stable and security one. So right now, I try multiple options, but I faced issues because the release environment use specific settings like specific private IPs, like access to VPN access to Azure resources and stuff like that. So I wasn't able to easily test the release process on my machine, but it's something that I'm investigating at the moment. Great, yeah, I'm certainly interested in whatever you learn there, Olivier. Olivier, I apologize. I have to drop off in one or two minutes in order to join a webinar that's about to start. Sure, so I think we cover most of the topic, the most important topic. So I don't know if you have any last minutes that you want to bring in and we want to discuss. Otherwise, I just propose to finish the call here. Well, so I guess I should double check. Has anyone found any negative consequences of the dirty hack that I use that every seven minutes reconnecting the EC2 agents? The hack I suggested last week. What's that? It's the hack I suggested last week. It is exactly the hack you suggested last week. I just couldn't find a way to do it from remote. And so I cheated and do it locally on ci.jenkins.io. And it's exactly what you suggested, Tim. And it works quite well, as far as I can tell. It still leaves me feeling soiled. It still is dirty because it shouldn't have to do, but it's better than me doing it every 10 minutes as a human being. I think for now it's okay, but yeah. It gives everything, right? Right, that was, and it doesn't actually solve the problem, right? It just sometimes we seem to get lucky and hide some problems. That's great. And just, yeah, we just delayed a problem. Right. Which is what we're after, isn't it? We're waiting till we have more time. Right. So, yeah. So I propose a finish meeting here. Thanks for your time and see you on RT. Bye-bye. Bill.


oat out. It's never too late to do the right thing. You know, lifetime has got a moment in time. And we haven't been this moment of time now where we can make change, hopefully make change, that will be there for years to come, because natural resources are something that requires forever and ever and ever and brings wealth to the communities that resources are. So it's never too late to make the effort to do it. What does the Minister for the Marine, Pottery McLaughlin, standing up to Department officials look like? I think that what you do is, and I won't name, but the very senior officials at the top of the Barber Marine need manners below them, that I and Charlie are directly elected by the people. We put our platform in front of the people. They need to implement that platform. They need to implement it. They need to show respect to fishing communities. So if I were sitting as the Minister for the Marine, I would demand respect for fishing communities. I would demand a partnership and demand that they start to represent Ireland's interest properly. Okay, stay where you are. The Minister for the Marine, Charlie McConnelogue, joins us. Charlie, thank you. I'm glad you're able to take the call. I didn't realise we were, it was kind of go down the road we did in terms of the assessment of you as Minister for the Marine. I don't know how much you've managed to hear yourself, or maybe someone mentioned that your name was mentioned, but there's strong criticism of you that you aren't standing up to Europe, that you aren't doing enough, that you aren't listening to those within the industry to help them, that you're not standing up to your Department of Marine officials. Good morning, Greg, and listen good to be on with you. No, I haven't heard what's been said there before, but I'm glad to be able to join in the programme as well. And listen, I mean my only objective as Minister for the Marine is something I'm delighted to be able to do, coming from the county, which is most important in the whole country, and indeed a part of the county as well, where fishing is really important, and with Green Castle next door, indeed a lot of the inshore sector being really important, and North and Ashorn is indeed Kelly Beggs is to our national flags sector, but listen, at European level, each month I attend the European Council meetings, and I'm fighting in there each month in every way I possibly can in relation to improving our fisheries position. The common fisheries policy would have been set at European level back in the early 1980s, and it was set based on various fleets fishing activity at that time. And obviously, at national level and among our fishing sector, we want more fishing. We absolutely believe that the fishing quota we have is not representative of the amount of fish that's caught in our waters. Despite that, and despite the common fisheries policy having been set in the early 1980s, based on what fleets were catching at that time, there hasn't been any change to that policy or that relative stability over the last 40 years, despite many battles at European level over that time. The common fisheries policy is reviewed every 10 years, it's going to be reviewed by the end of this year again. And likewise in terms of the run-up to that, I'm battling and engaging in European level in relation to seeking to improve our position as part of that, and have put together as well a committee of all the fishing, key fishing representatives to actually inform and develop the strategy for that. And I'm looking forward to their report, which is due to come to me later this month or later during June. And that's very much going to inform the approach that we're taking and any tactic and every strategy possible to improve our situation will be adopted. And that has been my form since it was appointed as minister. The big sideways impact to the common fisheries policy and the one big impact it's had over the last 40 years has been in fact the impact of Brexit. Because that by the British leaving and the UK deciding to leave, that impacted quota in terms of the trade and it was all Scott the hammering on that. Well, we're not the worst affected by that deal and you were there negotiating that deal. So, you know, we can identify what the problem is, but you were there thrashing out the discussions. And yet it was Arlen that was chucked under the boss because of Brexit, whilst our continental neighbors, their situation either improved or didn't worsen. So what you're citing as the problem, you negotiated that problem. Well, first of all, the Brexit agreement was negotiated at European level. I fought very hard in terms of representing the national interest in that as did the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney and the Taoiseach in relation to putting the impact, the potential impact that would be in fisheries and particularly national fisheries as part of that. You're right and that we have taken the biggest impact from that. We're the member state that is closest to the closest to the UK. The shares, the vast majority of the stocks we fish are fished by the British. But in a fair union, that means because we're the most to be impacted that we should be the most looked after, looked after. Just because where our, I mean, obviously the geography is important because of the waters, but simply because we're the nearest neighbors. Why should it disadvantage us more than the Belgians? No, exactly. And that's the very point I'm making at European level as well. And it's the very point we were making and we were pushing in relation to the actual Brexit agreement that any pain that would be there in relation to Brexit should be shared equally among member states. The reality is that wasn't the case. There was no European member state that improved their position coming out of Brexit. Everybody was disimproved, but we were, we were disimproved the most. We were, we were lost. Right. Stay with me, Minister. In relation to the common fisheries policy review now, the key objective I have Greg is to seek for that to be redressed and to have that imbalances there redressed. As I did throughout the Brexit process, I worked hand in glove with the industry representatives, meeting with them all the time, taking the same approach, the approach that I took to the Brexit. But it didn't work, Minister McConnell, with respect. Like you're saying that you were there fighting hard for Irish fishermen during the break. But now we're here saying, well, we got a crappy deal. We were the worst affected. And now we have to crawl that back. You were there around that table at that time. I'm not saying, I'm not saying we weren't impacted. I'm not saying it worked the way we wanted it because we didn't want to lose any fish. And that was our objective. But the challenge that was there for Brexit is that one third of the fish we caught, we catch are caught in pretty swaddle. So in the event of a no deal scenario, for example, one third of our capacity to catch that one third of a fish, we've been impacted by nothing able to fish there. So that was the stakes that were at play. But there's no taking away from the fact that the actual agreements that came at the end of it did impact our fisheries sector. And that's what now I'm seeking to have an address as part of the conversation. Right, Jared. And working very closely with the sector. Yep. Jared Kelly, Minister, you're hearing the minister. He was born by the eminence of how we fight that battle. Jared Kelly, you're hearing the minister. He's listening to the fishing industry. He recognizes the problems that are there. And he's going to fight tooth and nail for a better deal during the next round of negotiations. What more could you want? Yeah, but when there's an extra round of negotiations, because the people here, the banks won't give them enough time until the next round of negotiations. And unfortunately, I think what our department did, instead of getting, instead of looking for fishing breaks, to look for money instead, to look for compensation, and very little of the compensation or the dislocation money will ever get back to the fishermen. It's going to departments and all types of people. I'd like to ask the minister what part has played, what part has his department played in briefing Simon Coveney on the 5th of December, 2019, on meeting the French fisheries minister on mackerel. Because mackerel took the greatest, just for a short few days after that. And my understanding is, and that the minister tell us otherwise, that Simon Coveney did a deal on mackerel for the UK. And that deal, though. Any truth to that, Minister McConnell? No, no, that's simply not true. We thought, and I mean, we were united in terms of our national approach, as indeed we were with all the fisheries representative organisations. We had the one united approach in relation to trying to ensure that there would be no fish impact. The reality was to get a in order for the Brexit deal to be done at the end, that there unfortunately was an impact. And we, at all stages, thought to try and minimise the impact on the country. We did have, unfortunately, an impact greater than others, and that's something that we're seeking to change. In relation to mackerel, for example, so I mean, at European level last year, I fought very hard to increase our blue-whiting quota, and indeed had voted against proposals at European level, but ultimately got an increase in blue-whiting quota last year. At EU council meetings now this year, I'm fighting very hard to try and increase our mackerel quota. Indeed, the Danes, the fishing industry will be reading fisheries commentary. We'll see whether the Danish are accusing myself as Minister of trying to deal their mackerel quota and of conducting a midnight heist in them at an EU council meeting. So just that Simon Coveney meeting. Did Simon Coveney make a concession on mackerel stocks that did or did not get Brexit over the line? Did that actually happen? No, certainly not. For the Taoiseach, Minister Coveney and myself at all times fought a united battle to seek to ensure that there wouldn't be any impact. But were you privy then to Simon Coveney making an arrangement with the British on mackerel quotas? There was to be clear there was no arrangement between Simon Coveney and British or indeed with the EU in relation to mackerel quotas. All of us at exactly the same position. I asked what preparations, turning the convokes department made in briefing the Minister for Foreign Affairs when he was visiting the French Minister in 5th of December 2019, because from a moment when there was to be no hit on mackerel, within days there was a massive hit on Irish mackerel. So that was a question. Right, okay. Sorry, I was just trying to progress it on. When the Irish Government for Foreign Affairs said they were going to brief the Minister of Good Brief on Brexit, the French have said at the same time, Minister Coveney was calling to discuss fisheries and Brexit. And we do know that Minister Coveney was briefed by the Chairman of the Department. Just a quick sentence on that. Absolutely. And Minister Coveney and myself, every opportunity we got to engage with fisheries ministers from other EU member states we took. And we took it in order to put across the clear message from the Irish Government of the importance of holding the line of fisheries. And indeed, I would have conducted a number of meetings with other EU fisheries ministers to try and stiffen the resolve within the EU of the EU negotiating team to try and ensure that we get the best possible outcome on fisheries. And for that particular meeting, for example, in the run-up to Brexit, both myself and Minister Coveney would have met directly with fishing, the representatives of all the fishing organisations in relation to holding the national position in relation to being fully briefed. And for us to work at a political level with other EU member states and indeed for the fishing representatives themselves to work with their representatives of organisations in other member states. Because of course, there's many things that play within the Brexit negotiations. We knew the challenge was there for fisheries and we wanted to ensure that voice was heard loudly. The British, in deciding to leave the EU, wanted to reclaim all of the fish that the EU fleets, including ours, would catch in their waters. That was they wanted 100% of the fish that we catch in their waters back. Ultimately, the deal they got saw 25% of the fish that we, the Irish and other EU member states catch in their waters back. So we can still catch 75% of the fish. But we didn't want to lose a single fish and we fought to them there and everywhere we could. Jared, sorry, go ahead briefly please. None of that. The minister always says that the UK only got 25%. Yes, but they got an extra 25%. So as to Brexit, they ended up with 75%. Now Ireland at the moment has got 15%. And I think it is very poor of the minister to be defending the Brexit deal based on the 25% that the UK didn't get. The UK now has 75% and Ireland is 15%. And that should be something that the minister should be focusing on. I'll let you back in in a second, Charlie. Just as the figure came up today, the blue whiting at 9000 tonne quota of blue whiting. Norway, which isn't even on the EU, catches about 290,000 tonnes of blue whiting in our waters. What was the Irish figure there? Because you just lagged out briefly. 29,000 tonne for Ireland and 290,000 tonne for Norway. And I want to bring Deputy McLaughlin in, but I just want to give the minister an opportunity to respond to that. In relation to blue whiting, that was one gain that I did gain get last year fighting at European level was an increase in our blue whiting quota because I prevented swaps happening, which would have normally happened. I stepped in to prevent the vast majority of those swaps so we could keep more of the blue whiting. So that was something that was done last year. But listen, we can never get enough, we're fighting all the time for more fish. But just on the point that Jared made there, so the British wanted to reclaim all of the fishes caught in their waters with the EU fleet, they reclaimed just 25% of that. 75% of what we caught in British waters can still be caught. But listen, we wanted to keep that 100% and we fought very hard for it. And now, in terms of the common fisheries policy review, the fight is to try and improve. And you've made that point. I just want to bring the Sinn Féin marine sports person in. But just one one last one. Yeah, briefly please. I beg your pardon, as I say, I brought all of the fishing representatives together to put together the strategy for me to fight. Every idea they have, I will follow up as has been the case throughout my time as minister. Okay, you've made that point as well too, Charlie. And I welcome the delegation to Brussels. And you said that as well also. And any feedback or any suggestions or ideas or learnings from that from the industry that they want to feed into their strategy to provide me, I certainly look forward to hearing that and to backing them and doing all I can. Okay, let me have a word with thanks for waiting patiently. Deputy power McLaughlin, your response to what you're hearing from Minister McConnelog and your view there. Yeah, my appeal to Minister McConnelog is to listen to the experienced voices within fishing community in Johnnie Gollum across the country to stand up to his own department officials. I mean, Minister McConnelog was present at a public meeting in Kelly Beggs recently with the anger of hundreds and hundreds of people who was palpable at the Department of Marine and the SFPA. So he needs to stand up for those communities, challenge those in the Department of Marine and SFPA who have shown such disrespect and apply bureaucratic madness like nowhere else in the European Union are fishermen treated the way that they get treated in Ireland. Nowhere else are they treated. Nowhere else in Europe is the level of oversight and almost criminalisation of fishing communities. So I'm saying to the Minister, and I know Charlie personally a long time, we have a good relationship, is to work with all of us together to stand up for these people. But that sounds exactly what the Minister said he is doing. He's listening to the reps from the industry. He's fighting the fight in Europe. He's looking to achieve the best he can. I'm asking you, Deputy McLaughlin, he said he's doing what you're doing, what you said he should be doing. What else could be done? What could you actually do in the same position? Well, what I'll say is that Greg, in recent weeks, Minister McConnelog, Charlie was at that meeting in Kelly Beggs. And he must have taken from that meeting that there's a palpable anger and there's a sense that it hasn't been done, that they haven't been stood up to. And there was expressions of no confidence and so on. So, there just needs to be a confrontation of that. And that's all I would say. All that we're going to ask is that we stand up to those in the department bringing SFPA, we treat people with disrespect, and we go out to Europe and fight the good fight. And if Charlie's on the same page as Oz and that, then that's fine. That's what he needs to do. Right, it sounds like you are on the same page, Minister McConnelog, but what about standing up to maybe, you could argue, those that are running the show in Ireland? No, we are on the same page. Our absolute objective is to improve the situation of our fishers and say any ideas, suggestions, and everything has in terms of the tactics and strategies that I can adopt to do that. I certainly follow them up. I fight every EU council meeting forward. I vote against and every other member state is absolutely sick listening to me in relation to putting the Irish case in terms of the impact on Brexit that Brexit has had on us. And they'll be even sicker listening to me over the next number of months as they continue to fight that battle. In relation to our officials, I have to say, I have found right across the department that the interest of improving our situation is very much at the heart of our officials as well. I look to focus on the issues, Greg, on calling out exactly what the things are we have to do. I do find that in relation to the common between fisheries too often it gets personalised and the attacks can be there in officials as opposed to speaking to the actual challenges we need to do and the options available to us. And listen, you know, I was speaking to someone I was speaking to one of those. I think it's what you should you should also talk to that department because I was speaking to one of those officials recently on this programme and they didn't really rule out the fact that they think there are elements within the fishing industry that are are egging things on them, which I thought was a little bit of a personal commentary as well, which we have to be careful on. I think that we have a lot of work to do in terms of building the relationship at national level. In both directions is the point I'm trying to make here. I agree. I agree and that's, I mean, I attended and I went, it was 250 to 300 of that public meeting Kelly Beggs and I went along because I wanted to engage and talk and give the best account I could of where we were at and what I was trying to do and listen to what the feedback was from all of the fishers and indeed the wider stakeholders and community and Kelly Beggs that were at that meeting as well. Okay. So listen, I think we've a lot of work to do in terms of improving relations at national level, but also then all of us really working hard at European level to actually improve our situation. I appreciate you sparing your I appreciate Yeah, I appreciate you talking to us this morning, by the way, because it's it's to be actually that you come on and speak to us. It's very much appreciated. It's not insignificant and if definitely McLaughlin is a minister in the next government, however, that pans out will have the same access to you. Padre, is that a commitment to nod? Yeah, it is. Okay, good stuff. Listen, Charlie, thank you for your time this morning. Thanks, Greg. Take care yourselves. Jared, thank you very much, by the way, for helping us understand it from within the industry. And I know you've got loads more that you'd love to put to the minister and vice versa, but we got a bit of interaction there and I appreciate it. And I appreciate your time. And at last, but not least, Deputy Padre McLaughlin of Chinfane. Thank you as well for facilitating this and being part of the discussion. It's very much appreciated. Thanks, Greg. Take care yourselves. Thank you very much. Indeed. Okay, there you go. Right, that turned out to be something we hadn't fully planned for. A healthy debate, I hope, on the situation now. You heard from Deputy Padre McLaughlin, a fisherman, Jared Kelly, and also the Minister for the Marine Minister Charlie McConnelogue. 086625,000, your WhatsApps and texts, keep them coming into us.

The main problem with the Irish fishing industry is that Irish politicians actually believe the EU or the British care what happens here. Another, I've yet to see Charlie vote against the government on anything yet just bombards us with waffle. That's what that listener thinks isn't. We employ a whip system in this country for right or wrong. I think it's for wrong personally but those within politics might think it's right. I think people should be able to vote freely but they can't and you know if you vote against the government you're out. You're out certainly out of your minister's job. You're out of the parliamentary party so it's not insignificant. Now a very important event is taking place today. Members of the traveller community are holding a protest outside Lancaster House calling on the Taoiseach to address what they say is a denial of their human rights. The National Travel Mental Health Network has said that successive governments have failed to address the dire conditions in which travellers are living in. And we're joined on the programme now by a regular guest on this show Hugh Freel from the Donegal Traveller project down in Dublin today. Good morning to you Hugh. Thanks for taking the time out. I know you just arrived and we're not too far ahead of the event so I appreciate your time. Thank you Greg again. I apologise to the listeners for the noise. I'm just walking to the protest here. That's one of our better phone lines we've had today. Funny enough Hugh. Come here tell us you know what is the message you want Meehol Martin to hear today? I think one of the messages we want to Meehol Martin to hear is Greg. It's around the systemic racism that travellers are facing in terms of suicide and mental health issues. We have a pandemic in our community of mental health and also the suicide rate's been seven times higher. So with the government and the Taoiseach needs to listen. We're handing them a letter today to ask them to meet the network which I'm part of for the last four years and calling them to look around a strategic plan to deal with the mental health issues and suicide rate within the travel community. Up to 90% of travellers have been affected by suicide. It's around about 82% but it's up to 90%. Now this is not, this is presumably we need to look at the factors that lead to this. You can identify them Hugh. The challenges members of the travelling community face and they're ever changing aren't they? Talk to us about some of the things that you feel need to be addressed. I think the forever changing Greg is the education system for startling needs a review. A stark review in terms of the outputs for the travel community. Traveler children are leaving school at a very young age or they're going on to daybreak or they're going on to special initiative schools on the advice of the teacher to the parents. And what happened to a lot of travel adults is they're going back into the adult education and they're getting their degrees, they're leaving search, they're getting you know different formal education passes and certificates. So I do think that the education system needs a review on what's happened to travellers at a very young age. The systemic racism that's built into the education walls of the system has failed the travel community. What about identity? Throughout the traveller community but even amongst young travellers you know do you think young travellers feel there is a place for Ireland in them and elements of their culture? Yeah I do think there's a massive issue for identity issues to the minute because what happened is the segregation and the I suppose assimilation of young travellers and traveller families in the housing and safety areas throughout Donegal throughout Ireland has had a massive effect on travel culture and so young people that these days don't know they're caught between two words in relation to their identity, they're caught between several words and they're caught between travel words and it's very difficult for young travellers to identify and then issues of mental health suicide you know creep on I suppose in the sense over the years. Yeah and I noticed too and it's kind of interesting I don't know I haven't really, young members of the traveller community on social media I've noticed you know sometimes it pops up on your timeline and they do sort of Q&As that some of the questions they have to answer from the settled community in inverted commas myths that have to be dispelled the challenges they're facing in their life. I think they're doing a good thing in spreading the word but it goes to show the type of questions that are being asked of them what a lot of the settled community they're viewed towards travellers are. Yeah yeah and Facebook can be a very dangerous place as well Craig and race to Instagram or Twitter for young travellers to get bullied, isolated and you know intimidation where systemic racism happens and it's allowed to happen. You've got trollers online who you know that directly talk about members of the travel community how they isolate and pinpoint young travellers within that and that can be very very dangerous for young traveller to be monitored or bullied in that kind of manner. Yeah do you think the government need to do a study on this right across the board the situation because we have some bits of information like the behavior and attitudes survey that I referenced but if the government were serious about addressing some of these issues they have to have a true understanding of it and I don't think we have ever properly compiled that data have we? We're having Craig and I think that they need to say as they have a review have you looked at the employment rate of 83% of travellers and applied 13% of travellers is employed in traveller organizations and the other 3% is employed in mainstream and employment so if you look at that and you look at the this systemic racism discrimination that happens in the climate alone of travellers not getting employment. So you think of how what chance has somebody a young traveller in 16, 17, 18 getting employment in mainstream areas so the government needs to take an initiative or take you know format where travellers get employed to some opportunities through the bus and sector. All right listen I won't delay you any further I know you're making your way to that we might do a follow-up with you just to get a sense of what the reaction has been I just wanted to set the scene with you on such an important event and I appreciate your time as always. Thank you Craig. All right take care that's Hugh Freel there from the Domingo travellers project they themselves recently tried to book an event that when I say they themselves I mean the project themselves tried to book an event at a hotel a hotel says sorry it were fully booked on that day. I understand they got another person to ring the same hotel and they had vacancies in space there. Again I'll invite you to text or call the show you know the numbers. A caller says, read the new extension of a ban on Russian oil now estimated to hit 220 per litre at four courts by next week. However good news is that Miho Mart and the rest of our politicians won't be affected by the rise in fuel prices.  I don't know what impact that's going to have on on on Russia and listen let's not forget the higher the price of petrol and diesel goes the greater the take from the status. I just want to know why so many facilities are gone or almost gone in Karnedonna the courthouse is closed a few years ago for refreshment never reopened the day centre for senior citizens closed with the pandemic was open five days per week it never reopened the motor tax office used to open five days per week as did the library and since opening post-pandemic they only open two days a week and the politicians and councillors are turning a blind eye. All right what's going on in Karnedonna it does come up from time to time at council meetings but services and facilities has been clearly outlined by that listener being stripped from Karnedonna never to return and what impact might that have on that area if you're from it and have a view on it let us know. Warning for convincing insurance company scam calls a lady rang and had the correct information for my husband his name in address but when I asked how she had this information she hung up she also did not say what she was calling from please be aware okay thank you people and businesses like hotels and schools need to take the first step and stop flying EU flags well I don't think we're talking about an I-Rex at this point but I'll take your point what kind of joke is the EU when our ministers in their own words have to fight them for fairness it's an interesting point if your starting point is a battle for fairness and you're a member of this club it's questionable isn't it Ireland to the EU is like Tory Ireland to the rest of Ireland I lived in France for years and there was never any mention of Ireland that's why we have to take what we get and there's others waiting on an oyster license for the last two and a half years what's causing the delay I don't know the answer to that question but I don't think the caller expected me to throw it out there maybe someone out there does all right we still have an interesting item before 12 stay right where you are we'll take a break

now you have called for sniffer dogs to be brought in uh to police effectively uh the donagall rally um what i mean is the function of them obvious is it to ensure that we uh take as many illegal drugs off the street as possible well as a both greg we had a meeting of the joint policing committee a week past last friday and at that meeting i asked that we would take in um that the air support unit would be brought on and that the sniffer dogs would be taken on for the rally weekend and as a both to be fair about it it's just a matter of using the tools that's available um to unguide the sihana for to make sure that um you know with rally weekend um off as smoothly as possible um we want the people in donagall and their visitors to have a very positive experience and um i think at all the tools at the disposal of unguide the sihana should be used over that weekend and this is not donagall rally specific as such but a lot of people around the country will be descending uh on the county for the rally and you know there is you can probably distinguish between those that have come for the motorsport element and those that come for the crack that surrounds it you're saying that get this information out there early get it in place and it lacked as a deterrent for the small group that might be inclined to bring drugs with them look at the both you know i don't want to start drawing on any lines on who uses drugs or who doesn't because we do know what you know that's the widespread the use of drugs and donagall in ireland and um i just i just always feel myself with the people who are genuine rally fans come to uh donagall you know the the rally drivers their navigators their crews the marshals and all these type of people and people that are as our motorsport fans and you know it would be nice to be on uh highland ready with a monday after the rally saying that it was a great success and um but we do know from from the past you know that that there's massive crowds of people come into town and i think it's fair to say that there's a lot of the people that come into town really don't have that much interest in motorsport to come for the social um side of things so i think you know um the first thing you have to do is to prepare for the weekend and i think donagall motor club i've worked with i think they have a good enough plan in place um i think if they use all the tools for it it's a great weekend for people in business and donagall um i think it's a great weekend you know for for the yeah and we'll talk about we do talk about the positives and and it's 99 99 positive but they're also of course and i know you're not trying to shut this down there has to be a space for uh people who have been discommoded or upset to have their say planning is a word you use really important you know like are we planning now spaces where people can maybe diff their cars uh you know are we accommodating that uh because if we if we just block off all the spaces they'll end up up the back roads doing it and then we'll be speaking to you know disgruntled local residents you know like have we i wonder have we learned any lessons from what we know will happen with this small minority that just landed on the goal or are we just going to keep doing the same stories over and over again i wonder well i'm not i'm i'm not sure what people plan to do with their camp x rig and it wouldn't surprise me if some people close them off but my own opinion on it is when you have something on like the donagall rally maybe at night time there should be concerts and stuff like this but on you know um kind of events at night time for for to entertain uh the people that are here in town you know but look it's a very difficult one um but i think you know we still have to ensure that people can get around reasonably freely you know that that that's a that it's an enjoyable weekend and the people who come here to experience and want to come back to donagall again and um look as the man says we're not going to um you know try and rewrite the books but at the same time like you say we have to learn from past experience and some of those experiences haven't been good and i just think that at the right place in the right time for you yes that can be made um you know a lot more work okay let me just ask you directly i should have at the beginning you made the calls for sniffer dogs to be brought in and we've had similar calls in the past nothing came of it were you given any indication as if to that will as if that if that would happen or if inquiries would be made to see if it could happen um since the joint policing committee meeting um i've got a a reply by email to say that their support unit is coming on to letter kenny and i think that has to be welcomed you know to identify pressure points and get the resources that to those pressure points so as things can be handled as efficiently as possible um on the issue of dogs coming on that has not been decided yet and that was also on the email it that there's no wild commitment that they will become neither did they say they wouldn't become okay we'll probably need that air support up most uh most days in letter kenny at this stage but anyway cancel Michael Mcbride thanks for your time this morning okay all right take care of yourself bye bye oh wait six sixty twenty five thousand uh in response to our conversation with Hugh freel i called us as i'm a teacher and we do everything in our power to ensure we treat traveler children the same as everyone else then when we hear Hugh saying that the Department of Education is not looking after children within the community it's infuriating when we do all we can for them Hugh is obviously not still on the line to respond to that but i think he might not be talking about individuals and teachers i think he might be talking about how the system is structured and teachers themselves have to work within that so i don't think it was a personal criticism or a lack of appreciation for those that do all they can but more um the system as a whole i hope i'm not putting words in his mouth but i imagine that's what he might say this caller says i'm a settled traveler and i was never contacted about any of the courses i'm interested in them and this is known but for some reason i was passed for them it's a question on our social media the draft bylaws banning of dogs on blue flag beaches during peak summer times is to go out to public consultation do you support it when it's actually being applied actually from tomorrow here uh the answers on facebook yes 50% of you supported 50% of you don't on twitter 66% of you supported 34% don't on instagram 56% do 44% no we're quite divided aren't we and that actually probably plays out as it relates to the contacts we get on this program as well all right listen thank you
