Good afternoon. This is my third talk of the day. I'm also very jet lagged so I'm going to try and stay awake.  So welcome to our talk on Service Foundry. You may be thinking what on Earth is Service Foundry. We're going to explain that. I'm Colin Humphries. I'm the CEO of Cloud Credo. I'm presenting with Marco from Swisscom. Hi guys. I'm Marco, CEO of Swisscom Cloud Labs. So we're going to be talking about Service Foundry and I think I can encapsulate Service Foundry in this very simple slide. So I love Cloud Foundry. I love CF push application. I think that's a great journey and I want to raise the question why can't I do the same thing for services? Why can't I CF push my SQL and give it a disk? So this is based on the idea that if something is good and it works do more of it. So I love CF push. So let's explore the idea of being able to CF push services and data. This is the agenda for the talk. Marco is going to take us through the current state of statefulness in PAS and a brief state of the nation. That's the best joke in the entire talk, by the way, state of the nation. So it doesn't get any better than that. You can leave now if you want to see the best joke. Then I'm going to talk a little bit about challenges solving stateful problems. Then we're going to talk about the solution that we changed the data services so they work with service foundry. Then we're going to talk about the solution. We're going to change the platform so we have the right kind of primitives and the right ideas to enable this way of delivering services. So I'm going to hand over to Marco to talk about statefulness in PAS. Cool. Thanks Colin. So we started this discussion a couple of months ago and went through it and really checked what is the problem and I want to explain a little bit about statefulness in PAS. What it really means, why do we need state in PAS? It's very simple. It's clear that Cloud Foundry and PAS in general handle very well the stateless applications. The 12-factor applications to micro services or what everybody says today, cloud native applications are well handled though with platform as a service platforms. CICD processes, you can all do that with PAS. But what about underneath? What about the stateful service? How can you do that? And where do you do that? So today we answered this question usually with monolithic databases. We do it with what we already know. We take our existing database infrastructures, our existing database vendors, which we know a couple, and just deploy them in scale and try to somehow implement it in PAS. But the fact is that you cannot run in the Oracle cluster in a Cloud Foundry container. Neither you can run or actually you can run the MongoDB in a Cloud Foundry container, but it's not stateful. If somehow the container goes down, you lose your data. So what is the point in here? The point in here is databases are not ready for PAS yet to run in a PAS environment. So we take them away and run them somewhere else. So the challenges, we are Swisscom and we are a service provider in Europe. The challenges which we have here is we have existing service landscapes. We have huge clusters of MSS, SQL, Oracle databases and others. And we try to attach them to the PAS environment, which works. We can use them. We can make shared databases out of it. We can leverage these services and know how we have an existing databases and offer them as a service. But the problem we have is they not scale like they should when you think about how PAS scales. So if you scale your application to 1,000 instances from one immediately, the Oracle cluster just not just reacts on that because he doesn't know. So either you go there and call him and talk about that and try to make that scalability automated. Or you change something there, how you interact with your Oracle cluster, for instance. The second thing which we see is the operability and compatibility of existing services. It's very hard. We have a couple of services out there and they all run smooth, but they all have their own teams. We have thousands of people just operating services today. So they operate their MSI, SQL database. They are professional in that. But that's it. So can we find a standardized way to operate more smoothly and to add services very fast? And this brings me to the next point, which is we have to deliver new state as a services in a very fast manner as we do it with middleware. If after MongoDB there is Redis coming and there's the next one coming, we as a service provider need to be able to deliver that to the developers in a very fast time. So do we just another team of Redis experts ramping them up and build that and ship that? That's the questions and challenges we have as a service provider. Now let's look back to Cloud Foundry and the services within Cloud Foundry. What do we have today and what is the state of the nation, so to say? Well, services are actually done and the speech here in front of this audience actually 10 minutes before was exactly about services or service brokerage. We have two things which are very well captured within Cloud Foundry. The first is the provisioning of services. So you can provision services easily within Cloud Foundry with actually with the CF services contrip. So there is a way to do that. The management of services or let's say the creation and the binding of a service is done with the management and it's actually with a service broker. So let's go one step further on that. What is a service broker? A service broker allows you to get your database, bind your stuff and add it to your app. What in fact a service broker does, you don't know. Either it's a shared database or you get a dedicated database. You get a service which is somehow provisioned, somehow binded. So it's basically an externalization of the issue. You take your issue and then put a nice layer on it, which is perfectly fine and works. But it's not a complete solution. So what's behind the service broker and I'm talking here also in our case on our production system and also other people we talked to, it usually looks like that. You have a weird somehow way of doing it, some uncompleted walls and some open doors, because you somehow had to provision that. And if you grow and if the developer approach you, hey, we need another service and it's today, it's this one, tomorrow it's this one. You just somehow need to wrap them and provision them over service brokers. That's what we see today. That's not the Swisscom office. So and what we see today as well is we have a lot of services out of the box. So all these distributions in the venue over there in the expo, they provide you services out of the box. They provide you specific services in their complete model, proprietary service sometimes, sometimes it's a common open source services, but they're trying to bring their USP in there. So their USP is, you get that cloud foundry with all the services around it, and you don't have to care about it. They just chip it. But the point here is that we think as a community, and that's where we start discussion basically, we should maybe think about how we can go further than just deploying middleware, but also deploying in a generic way services. But not each of the distribution and vendors are solving the problem by their own, but that we have a common layer, how we can solve and actually onboard new services faster and as a community. But now everybody says, wait, wait, wait, we have something which is called Bosch, right? Bosch solves all the problems. And I don't know if Dr. Nick is here, because he will agree. Bosch can solve all the problems, but yeah, we had different experience. So Bosch can be very slow. Bosch is not really easy to deploy and to learn. And the lifecycle of Bosch is very hard. So if you have existing database, you upgrade to a new one, or you have data migrations into other data centers or whatever, Bosch is a challenge and was a challenge that was our experience so far. So Bosch could be a solution, but it needs some big steps to do that. And what about the V1 services? We had V1 services, right? They were perfectly fine. And as I look into the, there are some Swisscom folks, they run in production, we somehow run them. But we would never do it again. And it would encourage you not to try that out. It is kind of a piloting. And you can try it out for ramping up your Cloud Foundry environment, but it's really not for production use. And when I talk about all these things, then as a service provider, you have a different perspective on other topics. Because you think about operation readiness. When is the service operatable? You think about lifecycle management, okay, how do I have to upgrade XYZ? When customers are on it, where you have no clue what they do. You have no clue which database keyman that you're using. You just want to upgrade the service. So you have completely new challenges in there. And obviously the multi-tenancy concept. Not every database has a multi-tenancy concept per C. Let's take an example of Redis. Redis per C has no multi-tenancy concept. So you have to deploy each Redis by wrong. On the other side, Maria, DBE, or MySQL, they have a very nice multi-tenant concept. You can just give the user a password schema, and that's fine. And you can run one cluster. So you have to look at each of this level of various services and try to figure out how you can run them. And obviously the billing as well. How you want to charge your services, your various services, by quota, by message, by whatever you think about. And this actually brings me to the challenges, solving state for problems. And that's the point where Colin needs to take over because I have a challenge. Thank you very much. So I gave this talk a run-through last week and just to a small group of people. And they said to me, Colin, you've got to say something constructive. You can't just stand on the stage and complain for like 20 minutes about how difficult this is to do. And I said, no, I'm just going to stand here and complain. So this is like, I'm just going to preach about why I think this is so difficult, why it's so challenging, and why I've tried to do this so much and had so much difficulty making this scale and making this work. So why is it so difficult to solve stateful problems when Cloud Foundry makes it so easy to solve the stateless problems? So firstly, CAP. Can I get a show of hands that who knows what CAP is here to a reasonable degree? Okay, that's not everyone, so I'm going to very briefly run through this. CAP, consistency, availability, partition tolerance, you can have two of those three in a distributed system. You cannot have all three. And that makes life difficult. So you have to pick two. In reality, what this means, if you have a distributed system and you have a network partition, you can choose to do one of two things, both of which are wrong. So your choice is that network partition, the servers have been split in half, you can either stop serving data and stop mutating state because you could be inconsistent. So you maintain your consistency but your service is unavailable. Or alternatively, you carry on mutating data with your cluster split into two halves at which point you are inconsistent but you are available. So you can either be consistent in a partition tolerance, CP, or available in a partition tolerance. You can't do both. And this makes life very, very difficult. So what does this mean for Cloud Foundry and for Service Foundry? So if you've got your Cloud Foundry app that's stateless and you push it in and it's working, if the Cloud Foundry cluster is split into two, it can just fire up some more versions of your app. It doesn't matter. That's fine. If you've got, you know, my web app, having two of my web app, that's fine. If you've got my SQL running there and you split it in half, what should happen? Do you run two MySQLs, both serving your data independently? You've got a split brain situation.  What's the right thing to do? There is no right thing. So life gets very difficult. As we know, because there's been a few talks about it, Cloud Foundry is focused on 12-factor apps. This is a set of patterns that came out of the guys at Heroku. This enables applications to be effectively PAS-compatible, cloud-native. But we know that some of the 12-factor apps dictate that we should externalize our state. So do we move to 10-factor data services? So the two factors we're going to violate here, firstly, that we are not going to externalize state. We're going to choose to internalize our state.  We can't just throw them away because there may be important data there. So we're going to drop down from 12-factor to 10-factor. And there's a talk that's going to extend that idea tomorrow. Ted and Caleb are talking about persistence in Diego. So that's like a continuation of this talk, if you will. That's a far more positive talk. I'm just going to stand up here and complain. Automation. So this is really, really difficult. Now, a while back, I wrote some automation for Oracle Rack Cluster. All right, some scripting, some chef cookbooks around this, so you could automate Oracle Rack Cluster. And some Oracle engineers said to me, you can't do that. You can't automate Oracle Rack Cluster. Each Oracle installation is organic. It needs to be grown and tended to. So I think somewhere there is like a DBA union that are making data services that need to be looked after by humans. But why is this? I mean, maybe because it's difficult, I don't know. But if your apps are going to be run inside of Cloud Foundry or Service Foundry, they need to be automated bull. The app can't put its hand up halfway through the night and say, can an administrator come along and run these commands, please? It needs to be automated. And this isn't how data services currently are. Scaling. So we know with Cloud Foundry, we can scale easily, nice horizontal scaling. What does scaling even mean for data services? Do we have more instances of the data service? Do we have a larger disk? Do we have more IOPS? What does scaling mean for data services? Well, this is just ambiguous. I mean, this could mean anything for different data services. It's not clear. And what about durability? How do we store the data? How do we persist the data? And what is persistency in this context? Also known as not storing your data in MongoDB. So how do we store data in an environment where containers are coming and going? And how do we give them the persistent disks and persistent volumes that they need? So again, this is talk tomorrow, which is going to look at how we can do this with Diego. So I would recommend going to that talk. What I think is interesting, I think this talk is pertinent now and maybe wasn't before, is because if you look at version two of Cloud Foundry, and by that I mean DEAs and NATs for orchestration, we couldn't really do consistent data services. Because for those of you that have played around with it and poked at NATs and the health manager and the cloud controller and that entire kind of loop, crazy things can happen. You can go from no versions of an app to too many versions of an app and back down again, and it's very difficult to reason about. With Diego, we have XED as a backing store. And we can start making consistent decisions about running applications. So Cloud Foundry version two was not fit for building Service Foundry on top of, but Cloud Foundry version three, aka Diego, gives us what we need to be able to deliver consistent data services. So there's two parts to Service Foundry, two elements to the solution. The first one as I alluded to with the challenges is that we change the data services themselves. What do I mean by this? So I've been fortunate enough with Cloud Credo to work with some of the teams that are bringing data services to Cloud Foundry. And what's been fantastic there was to work with the actual developers of the data services and kind of move them along this journey, help them make databases and data storage solutions that are better suited to running in a cloud-like environment. So in particular, Cassandra, we're working with data stacks to help them, you know, make that a better journey, you know, there's a movement there. We work with the RabbitMQ team, we change their clustering to be better suited to automation in this way. And I think if we as platform specialists work with the vendors of the data solutions, we can help them make their data solutions more cloud-native, but I think there's still a way to go. An interesting point here is there are potentially data solutions in the future where if you run enough containers and enough instances, you don't need data volumes behind them. There's an interesting solution called Crate at crate.io. They're looking at potentially running huge numbers of containers and in essence your data is replicated across all the containers, so you don't need backing volumes because so long as enough containers stay alive you still have all your data. So if data services move down that path, all your data could be ephemeral, but that scares me a little, I have to say. Would I put financial data into something that could lose it all at any point in time? Probably not right now. So that leads us on to microdata services. So just imagine Cloud Foundry where your apps can have a persistent disk behind and can do networking across. Can we then start to run small data services within Cloud Foundry that deliver data to micro services and thus have micro data services? So I'm going to hand over to Marco, talk about the second part of this. Thanks. So changing the service is interesting and this may be a way to go, maybe the way to go, but it takes a long time to go there before we maybe should check about changing the platform or adding some topics to the platform that allow us to be faster anyhow and not waiting for the changes to come. So what do you really need? You need really a cfpush a real service kind of thing, right? So how do you do that and what do we need and what is already out there? Because you shouldn't make a new wheel if you already know there is something out there. So let's talk about what is already out there. So for instance we need storage, we need persistency. We mentioned that a couple of times. Are there orchestrator managers who can allow us and give us fixed persistent storage in containers? Yes there are and here are just some of the projects like arrowhead, flocker, or you should go to tets talk tomorrow. He is also talking about the solution, how you could do that. So there are solutions out there who can give us persistency on a service or in a container. What do we need else? What do we need in addition? We need network. Sure. We need software to find network. When you spin up your cloud foundry the first time you won't need software to find network. You just spin it up and hope it's running. But when you go further into the use case and think about abstraction from your services to the middleware and even security boundaries between them then you think about software to find services because you need to grow when customers come. But also here there are solutions out there for networking for containers like calico, weaver, socket plane just to name a few. There are hundreds. And so there's a solution for that somehow. Next topic which you need when you have a lot of services is discovery and monitoring. Because you need to know what is here. You need to know how the services are doing or when do you need to scale them. How do you need to manage them? But also here there are a lot of tools already out there open source most of them. And to mention some it's just some of them consoles who keep you a RECA. They're all capable of somehow handling containers and somehow letting you know when the state changes or when some assistance is needed when some automation is needed. And last but not least provisioning provisioning is what you do with CF service broker right? You saw there needs to be something there at the end. But also there we have solutions. There are solutions out there open source solutions like Brooklyn or Terraform just to name two of them. There are hundreds more existing you can even puppetize and run just puppets behind it. But the question is are we able to build something which gives us overlay for all these solutions and provide us an easy way to drive persistence cloud-based data microservices or micro data service sorry. So to summarize that we talked about the solution one which is basically change to service which Colin is working on. We talked about solution two which is enabled the platform which we maybe can work together on and but both sides could and will and somehow have to move into a concept which we today called service foundry and let's build this as a community. That's basically our message here. I think we need something to not have the usps in each distribution and each one is building by their own but to find the common ground of growing and delivering fast these services. All right good. Do we have any questions? No one wants to ask where is it? We haven't built it yet but we'd like if anyone wants to collaborate with us on building this please do come and talk to us. This is something where we're kind of issuing a set of demands we want this to happen so please do come and talk to us if you want to help build this. Any questions? Thank you all very much for coming. Thank you.


Everybody, Dr. Sanjo Sanyal, Professor Department Chair. The first part of the dissection will be to demonstrate to you the heart, the morphology of the heart in situ, including the pericardium. So the heart is, as it is located in the pericardial cavity. This is the cut section of the fibrous pericardium. And we have retained some of the portions of the fibrous pericardium just to show you how it looks like and how tough and leathery and how membranous it is. This fibrous pericardium is roughly conical shaped. The apex of the cone is at the junction of the descending aorta with the arch of the aorta. And you can see part of the fibrous pericardium has been retained here. And the base of the cone is the pericardial phrenic ligament, where it is fused with the central tendon of the diaphragm. This is the cut margin of the fibrous pericardium. And inside that is the pericardial cavity, which is actually the serious pericardium, lined by an outer peritoneal layer and an inner visceral layer. The inner visceral layer is actually the one which is covering the heart. And that is also the same as the epicardium of the heart. Now, since we have removed the fibrous pericardium, and we have seen that the fibrous pericardium has fused with the three major vessels, all of which have been cut here. One, it has fused with the ascending aorta. It fuses with the tunic advincia. Here, it has fused with the superior vena cava, which has been cut here. And here, it has fused with the pulmonary trunk. So I'm putting my finger behind the heart. And my finger has gone into oblique pericardial sinus, which is behind the base of the heart. The next important space is transverse pericardial sinus.  And it'll go behind the ascending aorta and it'll go behind the pulmonary trunk. This is the location of the transverse pericardial sinus. This is the location where the cardiothoracic surgeon pushes finger prior to open-heart surgery when he has to cannulate these greater-grade vessels for the purpose of cardiopulmonary bypass. And if I were to dip my finger down, my finger will stop at the superior border of the heart, which is the lower limit of the transverse pericardial sinus. So these are two important spaces of the pericardial cavity. A quick word about the clinical implications of this pericardial cavity. Any collection inside the pericardial cavity can be damaging to the heart. Like, for example, pericardial effusion, hemopericardium, pyopericardium, all these things can constrict. And if there's a rupture or injury to the heart, then blood can collect rapidly inside the pericardial cavity. And because the fibrous pericardium is so tough, it cannot allow the cavity collection to expand. So instead, it compresses the heart, a condition which is usually fatal unless treated rapidly. And that is called cardiac tamponade. It's a significant pericardial effusion. And it is threatened to compress the heart. We have to do the procedure of aspiration from the pericardial cavity. And that is known as pericardial synthesis. And the approach to the pericardial synthesis is, from the subcostal angle, we have to direct the needle to the left, approximately in this axis. The purpose of doing this is, if I were to remove the chest wall, we notice that on the left side, there is the cardiac notch of the left lung. And in this place, the pericardial pleura moves a little away to the left. Therefore, in this region, the pericardium is a direct contact with the chest wall without any intervening pericardial pleura, the so-called bare area of the pericardium. If we approach it in this direction, we can do a pericardial synthesis without fear of damaging the pleura. So this is the procedure for pericardial synthesis. Now let's take out the heart and show you the morphology of the heart as we can see them. We can see that this is the cut portion of the aorta here. This is the cut portion of the pulmonary trunk here. This is the cut portion of the superior vena kiva. And this is the cut portion of the inferior vena kiva. This is the cut portion of the inferior vena kiva here. This is the cut portion of the superior vena kiva. This is the opening of the pulmonary trunk here. And this is the opening of the ascending aorta here. And if you look inside, you will find the leaflets of the semilunar valves in the pulmonary trunk and in the ascending arrow down. Now let's take a look at the other parts of the heart morphology. Seen from the front, this is the right atrium and this right oracle which is the functionalist appendage of the right atrium. The next structure that we see here, this is the left oracle. The left atrium is mostly behind. This is the outflow of the pulmonary trunk. This is known as the conus arteriosus or the pulmonary infundibular. And this is the outflow of the aorta which is referred to as the aortic vestibule. This is the right border of the heart which is formed by the right atrium. And there is a sulcus extending from the opening of the inferior vena cava to the opening of the superior vena cava and that sulcus is referred to as the sulcus terminalis. This is the left border of the heart which is formed mostly by the left ventricle and a little bit by the left oracle. This is the inferior border of the heart which is formed mostly by the right ventricle and a little bit by the left ventricle. And the superior border of the heart I told you when I put my finger inside the transverse pericardial sinus, it is formed mostly by the left atrium and a little bit by the right atrium. This is the apex of the heart which is in the fifth left intercostal space in the mid-clavicular line, one palm width from the mid-sternal line. This groove that we see here, this is the anterior intraventricular groove. And this groove that we see here going all the way around from the front is the anterior atrioventricular groove also referred to as the coronary sulcus. And this atrioventricular groove goes all the way behind and now I am turning the heart around and we can see that the atrioventricular groove runs all the way behind. This is the posterior part of the atrioventricular groove also referred to as the posterior coronary sulcus. So the portion above that is the atrium, the portion below that is the ventricle. This groove that you see here is the posterior interventricular groove and the junction between the posterior atrioventricular groove and the posterior interventricular groove is referred to as the crux of the heart. We can see now that we have turned the heart around 180 degrees and we are looking at the heart from behind and we can see that these are the openings of the pulmonary veins into the left atrium and this is a remnant of the left atrium which we have referred as the left oracle. This is a remnant of the valve of the inferior vena cava. So this is all for now for today's D-section. If you have any questions or comments please put them in the comment section below.

ne hour they had me sorted uh in strunaller is chaos so we have that number here which is that being passed on to ethno uh just it's a number they're suggesting ethno should ring right let's get to clan mani now because there seems to be a big issue in clan mani i want to read out some comments from listeners in that area i am a parent in clan mani the school bus didn't leave till nine a.m because there was overcrowding by nine a.m the kids should be starting class there was an extra four kids on the bus this morning two families didn't send their kids because they knew of the overcrowding despite having a ticket there are about 10 kids without seats one child got off because he was just so overwhelmed knowing is helping us no one is helping us we can't get anywhere with bus airing another my two kids ended up half an hour late for school this morning because the bus couldn't leave we had to wait for another bus one is in first year and is stressed out enough without this an inspector was on the bus yesterday and it appears 40 tickets were issued but the bus only holds 32 it makes no sense what is going on hi delighted here highland radio is making the public aware of the school bus chaos i have no tickets for my children both are status eligible one in primary one in secondary the primary school bus route was only established last year and i invested time and energy to help getting enough pupils together to run a bus this year all seats are taken my child's left behind bus airing did not help i am in contact with politicians trying to find carpools babysitters new after-school care not a hope and ready and ready to give up a permanent job they helped get the critical mass together to justify a bus run their child's not on the bus back to clan mani once again my son's been left behind with no way to school because i'm at work eventually a second bus arrived but he was late for school and left in very distressed what is going on and more and more highlighting the issue in clan mani um hopefully is that one maybe if they can provide a second bus the service has been over subscribed that sounds like that's might be sorted maybe i'm being naive or optimistic ethno situation seems very different uh but maybe it's not okay so that's the sense of what's going on with the school transport system keep your calls and comments coming to us 08

mcgloughlin who's a gardener at balak durr garden center thank you for joining us paul how are you keeping today yeah indeed that's microphone which one's that let me see one two hello no no good let me try that one that one no none of them okay um what are we going to do switch this microphone it's not ideal but we'll do what about now hello god we are professionals yes right we'll swing that one out of the way right um so when's the grass going to stop growing on border cutting it uh grass going to stop cutting probably was pretty much around the first frost around that sort of thing so you could be a little slow down from now on even that very warm well there i'll knock some of the stuff in out of it so well but pretty much up until October almost the first frost i'm in halloween mode now i'm pretty much over i'm starting to wind out yeah kids back at school not interested in cutting grass anymore i fully it's even people's flares you see them sort of teal enough now that they're actually just sort of the season season summer's passing they're back to reality again yeah no i'm being i'm not quite at that point yet right okay so um questions coming in all the time of course so eight six six two twenty five thousand but a lot about gardening is about planning right so whilst this season there's still some time to run in it we can be looking perhaps ahead uh so what in terms of cuttings a lot of people ask when the right time to take cuttings is we're in the in the money zone now are we yeah pretty much now is a perfect time to be taking cuttings especially softwood cuttings at the minute because you've actually um you're coming on September now where it won't be as warm particularly and there's still plenty of growth there so they still should take root so if you're sort of shrubs hedging anything like that there it's worth trying to take a few cuttings yeah okay and this is you know what will happen is this in spring people go oh i need to do something here whatever this is the opportunity now for you to sort of make sure you've got plenty of growth for full spring absolutely color or whatever it might be there's a great sense of achievement of bringing on a plant from a cutting you've taken yourself so you've seen it the whole way through from start to finish basically and it's also a good way to save the money in the sense that a lot of plants are very easily propagated you could get some cuttings to your friend from something or which is the easiest then uh like a hydrangea it'd be where a lot of people would start so would be likes that there um generally any of the hedging plants as well if people want to start with them uh like the grislinia laurel hedging all come very easily from cuttings and stuff like lavender right okay talk to me then about taking a hedge cutting is that what you were talking about was it yeah or a plant cutting pretty much any sort of woody shrub right so we're looking at the shrub where do we cut cut generally about six inches down from the tip uh-huh sort of the plant should have a lot of tips so any of them particular preferably not one that has a flower right and then in terms of planting and spacing for example yeah um the key to taking cuttings that sort of thing will be put in loads because they're cautioning nothing basically so if you put in if you put in 20 and you get 10 you're on a one or already basically so put in loads and they don't have to be that well spaced or anything right okay and in terms of how to prepare the ground how deep do you bury them for example pretty much is good idea to put them into sort of compost into a pot we can sort of pop them first pretty much pot them first generally good all right and you can put like like say put like a dozen 20 into a pot and stick them in and like say if most of them come you're doing well does it need to be deep or could you sort of maybe repurpose your you know your your likes your window pots for the winter pretty much that's perfect i yeah you can get a nice little compost perfect so it's only really a matter of keeping the moisture around around the cotton as opposed to nutrients and where would i store that store generally you can make up your only sort of greenhouse put the plastic bag over the top of the pot and there's just some sheltered spot like in behind the garage where it's going to get some somebody like but not particularly direct sunshine and do we talk then when to sort of take them out of the pots and plant them would do we talk about that later on or pretty much what you would do is you put them in and like say you can put your plastic bag over them that sort of creates its own microclimate with that the moisture goes up and sort of comes down again so you check them every every three four weeks and remove any that obviously aren't doing yeah and then you could actually gently after but probably it's just the start of the spring gently try if you out to see if it's rooted or not you'll see then so it look generally looks after itself right spring bulbs talk to me about that spring bulbs now we're getting very close to spring bulb type generally it runs from sort of mid-september onto december so um perfect time in the garden so they get a huge amount of people coming in around marriage time whenever they see the daffodils coming up yeah actually looking to get them whereas now is the time you should be sort of thinking about your spring bulbs you'll see the shops and garden centers will be full of them from now on I'm planting them now yeah plant them now like saying between now and december is perfect and can we plant them um like your daffodils tulips that sort of stuff even aliums have become very fashionable at the minute so they'll be very good yeah um so you've got september to worry about that then really ideally do you? pretty much ideal time to be planting them would be sort of mid-october because if you plant them too early sometimes they tend to come up too early like as opposed to coming up the end of march could be coming up the end of february and then the weather is more severe on them okay so now's the time really to see what deals are available in your local garden center pretty much in the next few weeks I or even just be thinking around the garden in terms of where could you put a wee bit of stuff right okay hedging we get loads of questions about hedging now it's often about what type of hedging is good for this type of area but in terms of planting trees maybe if someone wants to plant a tree what what talk to me about some good hedging and trees and and now is the time to plant them isn't it yeah so what's a good tree that's not too invasive its roots won't go anywhere yeah it comes up pretty quick and you get a nice bit of color pretty much a good tree our most popular tree down there the flower and cherry by a mile so it would very good tree they tend to get to about 12 15 feet around that so they don't get huge so they're perfect for a garden and you get flowered some stages of the year generally around the start of May or someone and what size is that when you plant it generally you'd be buying them in the reason of maybe eight feet and then how quickly do they sort of take and start looking established yeah pretty much within two years yeah that's too long for me that's why I don't plant trees we can tell you I already grown one as well but what the size can up the money because hugely as well I know I just have notions but yes and when people plant the likes of that in the middle of their lawn or where would you where do you find people might plant a tree like that pretty much generally it's supposed to be in the garden pretty much but a lot of people are going sort of for an avenue effect up the side of the driveway if you know and lately the last few years people are actually sort of trying to naturalize trees either gardens a bit more in the sense of just like three or four over here and three or four over there make it look quite natural you know okay that sounds like actually something that's something to make mowing a little bit more difficult right so trees and hedges also now is a good time to get the hedging yes now it's perfect if anybody's establishing a new garden that's generally the first thing we would advise people do is sort of get your hedges established and that generally sort of defines your garden and sort of creates a windbreak then for anything that's coming along so good species if you're looking for evergreen likes that grislinia would be our most popular hedge or laurel there or even coming out to the buried season from december other people going for more natural sort of informal hedges now likes the thorn just with an open colored shirt that type of stuff absolutely yeah just chilling out around the garden so they are but um likes the thorn hedges and sort of more like the flowering current that sort of thing be more probably better for biodiversity and stuff right now i kind of written off somewhere but i'm kind of joking in doing so lots of uh you know there's still people with lots of color there and lots of flowers so you can extend how long you can enjoy that and even maybe more flowering to come so is this back to making sure they're well watered deadheaded it's still in other words it ain't over even though i kind of pretend it is you can still there's still plenty of time perhaps well not plenty but some more time to enjoy your summer flowers yeah no absolutely if the weather's good no up to halloween you should easily have your flower summer flowers right up to halloween um ideas people do get a bit like just have people do tend to get a bit wary of the whole watering ritual and that sort of thing so it's easy to tail off so if you just keep that up and keep deadhead and it will keep fresher flowers coming on yeah because you know today is the last really nice day and i don't want to sound miserable but you know i think our attitudes change while quickly and i'm sure you see the patterns in the garden center when people come in and and go out just it's going to get a wee bit more windy a bit more rainy the low pressure is going to hang around for the next week or so we just don't know what what absolutely not like if you're in the habit of watering your flowers in the evening time of that that's if it's raining one day outside it's it's hard to motivate yourself to go out and do it but enjoy your garden while you can because it's very good for you absolutely okay um feeding uh now is a good time we talked about i suppose planting trees and hedges but maybe ones that are established or were planted last year at the year before they need a wee boost for the winter now do they yes now is a perfect time to give them a good feed because there's still a bit of growth left before before the winter hits basically so a general purpose feed i prefer to be organic if you can such as around fashion chicken poultry in the areas yeah okay we do the thing or see we'd be coming more popular yeah you get a gradual farm now as well which would be very good for feeding is that kind of slow release stuff as well is it generally any of the organic stuff releases over about three months yeah that's what you want isn't it pretty much put on now and then do the bits and patrick stay again yeah it's nice because it can chill then um can i still plant some peas sugar snap peas and runner beans indoors for outside growing is it too late for the season do you think um plant peas and beans that sort of stuff at this time of year attend i would tend to not actually start them inside i would actually pretty much now into october you can start them from seed outside just plant in the peas now because they are frost hardy so if you the problem is if you start them indoors they might get sort of spoiled and put them outdoors they might sort of go backwards whereas if you start them outdoors next month from seed you'll actually be grand you have a nice harvest early next spring all right any chance my lavender would recover if i cut it to the base i forgot to trim it last year now if a lot of woody stems help yes pretty much cut it back a bit if there are a lot of woody stems if you cut them back to like almost pure timber they're you're that's going to struggle to recover so what it would do is sort of the fresher stems this year i would cut them back by about half and it should rejuvenate itself and if you did that over the course of a couple of years all right any questions for paul get them into us right now we're going to take a quick break it'll give you a chance to get the phone out or pick the phone up uh 08 660 25

breslin around the northwest live from outside michael murphy sports if you're in the area uh go down and say hello right okay um may have you got your headphones there um if you bang them on for us yeah good stuff because mary has a question for you mary a very good morning to you hello hi your question for paul mary ah my question is i'd love to plant some snowdrops and i wonder when's the right time or what i think now's the right time paul go ahead one second that's working sorry sorry problems with this microphone is that working now paul no you're fine no you're fine nope switch back over again sorry it's my fault uh hi mary tell you what i'm pretty much now anytime between now and december you can plant away the snowdrops um yeah you'll get them in most shops there now but if the snowdrops can be problematic growing from from sort of new bulbs if you know what i mean so if you actually if you had somebody that had a wee patch that was already established and we're kind enough to donate it to you generally have more if you take if you take the whole bit of clay what you as well as the bulbs they tend to work a bit better you know but so what's gonna need to start out with the bulbs anyway and would you get them like enough you know in the first shop like would they not have them started out you know the bulbs no sometimes you get them some sometimes all right i better be quite rare to have snowdrops and i've started on the shop if you know me at luxers if the snowdrops is right for me it's hard to complicate it well hold on yeah no no let's start again we're gonna have to get mary some snowdrops so yeah what stop see a roby dandrum boss yes uh how would you go about that now because i love them but i like i love locking up them but i can't uh funny that that you'll get established in the garden center no bother so you can yeah generally you get yeah 10 12 different types in any garden center there that you have different sort of sizes months will grow to different sizes full range of course this is a good time of the year for anything as a perfect time to be planting on your rody dandurn because that'll flare up now sort of kind of like say like a mall business but like very good you've got great notion you've great notions marriage just i know but come here let's not give up on the snow drops yet so what should mary do with the straw drop let's say she can't get them off a friend who's got them established so how does mary have snow drops for the spring uh pretty much just follow the directions in the packet but what you do is generally a snow drop bulb is quite a small bulb yes so you're just going to set them just kind of below the surface so you are uh planting a snow drop bulb it's a good idea to actually shake a bit of cayenne pepper over the top of it or someone like that they're just on top of the surface because mice are clean mad about them so they'll go dig in for them in the garden you see so if you actually put the pepper over the top of them it'll sort of deter them from the nearest basically but the problem with a lot of snow drops is it's very hard to get the native Irish one so it is that would be sort of naturally in people's gardens a lot of ones coming in now coming in from Spain and they're just they can be very hard to establish just yeah they're not as hard as the Irish one absolutely i hopefully it'll work out and you can get the bush established so that's that you've got that done and try the bulbs and see how you get on i am fascinated and i'd see what happens with your snow drops mary so don't forget about us let me know i'll let you know but i'm dying to have them i'll just see you're running across the garden snow drop bulbs in one hand tub of cayenne pepper in the other and pull in your mind all right you'd be like a landing strip okay how often should i feed my tomato plants now they're bearing fruit and they also have flowers i use a liquid seaweed feed like the one sold in a certain garden center yes um liquid seaweed generally chatting 10 to 14 days around that's perfect for feeding them any more you tend to run into the injury given the two by your boost and the tomatoes can actually split on you because they grow too fast almost so 10 to 14 days is perfect um why is my grass going yellowish at this time of year grass going yellow at this time of year it's possibly actually the heat that's doing it so what does you see actually seeing the news there and sort of southern England there a lot of the grass you just burnt up if you know what i mean so um pretty much just by by chat of the weather forecast there's plenty of rain coming so it should repair itself and i suppose you know like nature is nature we will talk to each other about it's very warm at the moment and we kind of have to adjust our lives and our clothing i'm not equating us to grass but it is nature is developed in such a way that it expects certain things at certain times so it's going to react isn't it absolutely in the record with climate change that we're just going to have to get used to sort of yellow grass pretty much a warmer weather and plants is going to take a long time to lick ourselves plant will take a long time to adapt all right um can i set wild flowers now for next year yes if you get autumn sown while while flowers now it's a perfect time to be setting them all right autumn sown so it's specific yeah you do you get spring sown autumn sown generally people get more success with the autumn sown so now it's a perfect time to be getting established for it all right when should i deadhead hydrangeers deadhead hydrangeas there's sort of two schools of thought on it generally there'll be flower now and the flowers should last up until late november so um if it was my garden i'd be sort of clipping them off then because they're kind of the deadheads look kind of untidy so i'd be trimming them up whereas my mother there would swear believe in them on because it actually keeps the frost out of the crown of the plant tempted to go with your mother on this one yes so close enough rows amongst sisters and families and absolutely no my mother was leading to the springtime sort of february march and cut them off so you know a matter of opinion but generally you won't do any harm be taken down fairly but a lot of people would recommend leaving it on into the spring um how do i plant a monkey tree we're very open and near the sea monkey puzzle trees are very very impressive plants so they are take generally about a hundred years to get to matured air so so they would be generally you can buy them in the garden center but cherry blossom was going to be a problem for two years all right no monkey puzzle trees like snudin's college in there have one thing was planted in 1906 and it's it's not even at maturity yet whenever the school was established if you know what i mean but um lovely plants never do get going um the only thing i would be worried about it in terms of the coastal thing of if you have a sheltered spot in the garden it'll probably be grand but it's the fact that you could be looking at this thing for 20 years and get a sudden winter storm of with salt water off the sea and you would be what it got you could lose it but now definitely i think if you had a sheltered spot that'd be worth a try okay um hydrangea it hasn't flowered wasn't cut back last year when can i cut it back now please uh once again like you're you're dead heading of it there um cutting it back now he's not going to do any harm but you're going to lose any chance of getting flowers on it this year which i don't think you will if they haven't just sort of shown themselves yet but you could give it a cut back now or an early spring all right listen uh the time has caught up on us paul thanks as always yeah no bother thank you paul mcgloughlin gardener balik durg garden center thanks for your time and thanks

if you're in london come along and say hello and that's exactly what we're about to talk about now after a two-year absence due to the covid pandemic the london irish vintage club is celebrating its delay 10th anniversary charity day this coming sunday it's at the on the impressive setting of the chocomal gales grounds at berkeley avenue in greenford in london the organizer of it is donnie goleman brendan vochan who joins us now brendan tiny vochan good morning brendan good morning are you on site for having me on no it's our pleasure are you on site as we speak i weren't sick yet i'm just looking at two brand new jcb forklifts that uh flammery's plantire and wembley have kindly supplied us for the next few days you know and i'm sitting i'm sitting and paul would always pick up who's giving the land of that we're just setting up the stages first and then we're we'll walk around them you know and uh it's lovely weather for the moment but there's a couple of spots of rain maybe on the way at the weekend but we're not going to worry too much about that the values are in and on you go exactly i think between most of the afternoon it looks like it's going to be dry in that area but as you say like drizzle it's never it's not going to put anyone off so talk to us about this event uh because it's it's unique it is a a vintage irish vintage club day but it draws in people from all different communities around the area it really is quite unique in london well not necessarily unique but rare anyway at the very least it is rare i mean i came up with idea 12 years ago my old fellow paddy von uh we used to get another tractor maybe footing about it not a good interest but a good interest in tractors and uh that really started that system itself she's a lot of boys in london got tractors like satony mcgovern and tommy james was people from trenter you know different paul o'donnell pod track and martin mcarran john mcgade people like that you know i've left out a few that i that i can't there's too many donny gall lads that have vintage vatals i mean martin mcarran is a model t4 do you want to see the condition of it you've probably seen it the last time yeah and you know there's a lot of interest here and a lot of support and you can we cannot it's like anything it's like a donny gall hospice calendar or anything you cannot do anything without the the generous support of uh of the people of donny gall and the general the wider irish community here in london as well because this is not just a donny gall day this is a big irish day and we get uh i was just on the radio there to midwest talking about it as well and uh this is a big community day here in london and we're going to try and raise as much money for example one of the charities is a horse riding school down the back of the scrubs prison where um the is for disabled children and the pace hospice is another one and we're going to try and raise as much money as we possibly can and also we're going to make a donation to the family of tom o aller who was who was brutally murdered down the road of greenford there uh a week ago and i used to see tom down there on the mobility scooter and the poor fella just raising a few pounds for the ukrainians and he gets stabbed and they would take the money off at 87 years of age it was just the most it was just the most horrendous story and he was held in in such high regard um even though he'd been from uh he had left arland so long ago uh his irishness shone uh loud and clear and as i say it not only what he did in terms of i think he played the squeezy box a bit and was well known for that would know to sing a song raising money for for other people when he could have been at home watching uh tv or something you know and also apparently a great you know if someone was walking down the street and wanted to chat he was there to chat to them he really was a really important part of that community i wasn't aware it happened so close to where this event is being held but it's lovely that um a donation is being made to his family most of his family is still living in arland yeah we'll make a donation out that we have an auction on the day and um you know we've lots of good prizes and whatever we we have a good donation towards uh whatever the fuel expense or whatever there's a lot of people um traveling over um from arland as well does that always happen or is that particular this year we have one of your very own going over anyway uh david james and then we've got we've got unan jim mcfadden with uh councillor nyle brainy and we you know brian mccracken there at the shopping centre gary martin and we have the the famous man himself uh packey bonner he's coming over me and packey used to play in county vocational school team together along with anthony milloy and a lot of other characters but we have all them coming as well and uh nathan carter did you mention him he's up on stage as well all all he's up on the stage mary rose is going to be performing live there's a a second stage uh which he's going to highlight the the trad musicians irish dancers that's right uh martin moary from tipper area he's looking maybe i'm wrong i'm saying that to say that kill that's a good holding county and he was jim jimmy and he's looking after that anyway and uh we have halloween's looking after dancing and collect keveney is bringing on tradition music players as well we have two stages here and it's uh we've it's been two year absence and we're god really knows how many people will come because it's two years since we had it and uh a lot of people are coming to support us i mean for example now flannery's plantire i sent you a wee thing about it there and what's that that's worth a half a million that uh simulator you can go in and pretend you're going to drive a digger and you're there to drive a digger and they're taking a state-of-the-art uh john dea tractor one of the original uh jcb's at the paddy flannery from county mail but um 50 years ago that's fully reconditioned the vunties track their money diggers you know a great supporters the flannery's up in wembley right beside tim kelly's office at wembley and they're and they've come down here now with it's unbelievable two brand new teleporter forklifts and it's not just about the machinery as well because the there's displays uh traditional fair uh thrashing displays that kind of stuff there's there's there's an awful lot going on isn't there around the uh side there is we have the fun fair and we've got a tractor on a vintage car on and a vintage lorry run and that's coming from tony mcgovern who's from county litham a great supporter down the years of of the vintage club and we're doing that from a place called wexham so uh we've a lot on high and with a lot of volunteers and without the volunteers help we wouldn't be able to do this and the sponsors we've had great support i mean we've nearly 70 000 paltine and sponsorship just for a vintage day program that's an incredible amount of money that we have and we had still more phone calls coming in can we go into the program uh you can't we just we just couldn't we have we have a cutoff point for the program and that's that unfortunately we had to go with it you know right but uh an incredible response here and what do you call

The Schulich School of Law in Dalhousie University are proud to be launching the Restorative Lab, the first ever international lab focused on a restorative approach. Restorative Justice is really an approach to justice that centers relationships. It looks at justice as the work of creating just relationships. And that's the kind of work that we're doing here. A restorative approach really takes seriously the importance of connection not only between people but also between systems and between communities and groups. And it takes seriously the need to bring people together to be able to work for change together. Sometimes people think fairly narrowly about restorative justice and they think that it's concerned only with our current justice system and with looking for different processes and practices within the justice system. But really restorative justice is concerned with just relations and taking a restorative approach focuses on those relationships. And then we can think about the real significance of a restorative approach for a whole range of systems and services in community, in groups, in our schools, in our workplaces. For far too long for centuries too many people have felt on the outside of the system. And we've all acknowledged the system is broken and the human-centered approach allows us to look at this problem or look at the situation differently. We look at it directly at the center of the person and we understand the cultural issues that have been overlooked. We understand the systemic issues within our system focused based on the points of view from the individual's most impacted. We want long-lasting healing and quite frankly long-lasting solutions. It has to be from human-centered, not system-centered. And that's why I believe this is so critical and why the work that's been happening with Jennifer and her team at Dalhousie and the work that we've been able to do within our community using this approach has been long-lasting and powerful. As the Minister of Justice and Attorney General for Nova Scotia one of the successes I am most proud of is our province's international standing as a leader in restorative justice. This success is partly the result of strong partnerships between government, community and Dalhousie University. This restorative lab will help us further advance restorative approaches in Nova Scotia. The lab will also better connect us nationally and internationally with others who are also working to reimagine justice systems that involve community and government working together with a common vision. There is no doubt that our current justice system has complex systemic issues that must be addressed if we are to achieve our vision to improve access to justice especially for those who struggle the most. As we work to transform Nova Scotia's justice system this lab will play a key role in helping us build stronger, more inclusive and just communities where all Nova Scotians can prosper and enjoy a high quality of life. The restorative lab is a significant opportunity for the university to do one of the things universities do best which is bring people together to learn together and to mobilize knowledge for action and change. It's important that the lab be a space and a place for people to be able to come together and learn together. The opening of restorative lab comes at a critical time. The effects of COVID-19 have brought racial, gender-based and socio-economic disparities into sharp focus. We know that we must do more to respond to these inequities. As an institution of higher learning we at Dalhousie are committed to partnering in this work. We are proud to be home to the restorative lab. Restorative justice allows us to reimagine systems and communities in a way that centers inclusion and participation. This act of centring people and human relationships is also at the heart of the work we do at Dalhousie. The mission of the law school has been to promote the public interest in the practice of law. We're devoted in our teaching and our research to social transformation. We're not just interested in the rules of law, we're interested in the law as a social project. And so what restorative justice brings is another tool to the process of identifying and to responding to steep and systemic injustice in society. Universities have an incredible opportunity to be building relationships across silos and to be part of social innovation, part of supporting the kind of change that we need in our society. On behalf of Dalhousie, thank you to our community and private partners and to the government of Nova Scotia. Together at the restorative lab, we're ready to build the knowledge and connections needed for just and sustainable communities here in Nova Scotia and around the world.


On February 3, around 5 o'clock in the morning, there was a drone attack on the Lukoil oil refinery in Volgograd, Russia. This was reported by Russian Telegram channels. After the Kamikaze drone struck, an explosion in fire occurred at the plant, the fire covered an area of 300 square meters. There were no victims during the incident. The Enterprise, which is Russia's largest oil refinery, produces gasoline, diesel, aviation fuel, and fuel for ships, the governor of Volgograd region Andrey Botcherov said that the drone was shot down, its remains fell on the factory territory and caused a fire, and the fire was extinguished in a short time. However, the images of the moment of the explosion gave reason to say the opposite. It seems that there was a strong explosion in the area. IT should be noted that during the night Russian Telegram channels wrote that drones were shot down over Voronezh, Belgorod and Rostov regions.
