Good morning to one in all present here. Today, we, the members of Ideal Rupal team, are standing before you all to deliver a presentation on our project titled Building a Raspberry Pi based device to ask questions and get answers in video format. Our team consists of three members, namely Navneet Agarwal, Tushank Gupta and myself Shreya Mishra. The entire Rupal project was mainly composed of the following modules. First one was the Raspberry Pi based hardware device. Second one was the Android app development. And the third one was the video question analysis, out of which our team worked on the Raspberry Pi component. Our objective was to build a Raspberry Pi based hardware device to ask questions. Videos enable the expert to answer questions according to the understanding ability of the person asking the question. The main purpose of our project is to encourage people to ask more questions in a simple and hassle-free manner. Although several platforms still exist to ask questions in textual format, but very few of them support video formats because of the complexity involved in video analysis. Videos enable the expert to answer questions according to the understanding ability of the asker. So the key feature of our Raspberry Pi device is its ease of use and access by anyone working in the institution where it is installed. Even a person who is not technically sound can access it and use it conveniently. Suppose a student or a teacher or even a non-technical staff can use it with equal convenience. So this generates ample scope for our machine to be installed in thousands of institutions and encourage people to learn more by asking more questions. So in order to highlight the importance of our video-based questions, I'd like to take an example. Look at this picture. Suppose this person in the picture asks the question how to send a message using a smartphone. So will you answer this question? Obviously not because as it is evident from the picture, this person seems to be a student and educated enough to know how to operate a smartphone. But now, if the same question is asked by this person who appears to be a poor farmer or a labourer, then obviously will answer this question because he is not educated enough to know how to use a smartphone. So for our project, we have used the following technologies. First one is the Raspberry Pi which is the core component of our project. Second one is the FFMPEG technology which we have used for recording audios and videos with synchronization. Third one is Kintel which is a Python library which we have used for graphical user interface. Fourth one is the face recognition which we have used for matching our questions with answers. Fifth one is the Python VLC which we have used for playing back the answer video. And sixth one is the Spring Boot MongoDB which we have used for the development of REST API. Now since our project is based on hardware, so the following are the hardware components of our project. First one is the Raspberry Pi. The model may be 3B plus or higher. Second one is a 3.2 inch TFT display. Third one is a 16 GB or more micro SD card. Fourth one is the USB webcam with mic. And fifth one is the micro USB power supply. Now my friend Navneet will continue. Our project mainly consists of seven independent modules. The first module is used for initialization. When the device is set up for the first time initialization is necessary. The initialization can be done by running the Python file init.py. It will assign a unique machine ID to the device and the institute ID is fetched from the central server by authenticating the email and the password. This process set up the device under the institution profile in the central server. The second module is for recording videos. Here the FFN command is generated and executed using a Python program. Video is recorded in the AVI format because the MP4 requires the more hardware resources. The resolution for the video is set to 320 x 240 pixels. The third module used is logger. Logger is used to generate the JSON files. JSON file contains the information related to the video such as the name of the video, time and date of the creation of video, the institute ID, machine ID and as well the extension of the video. Here the new log entry method is used to generate the JSON file. This module is also used to store and retrieve the data from the SQLite database. The fourth module is face recognition. The face recognition is used to map the questions with the answers. Here we use the open source library of the Python called face recognition which works on the database backend. The face encodings of a person asking questions are stored in the numpy zip file. Recognition accuracy can be altered by adjusting the tolerance value in the config.py file. To record a video using a device, when the device is started, there are three buttons on the screen. The first is the start button, second is the sync button and third is get answer button. To start recording, press the start button. It will first register your face and then the recording will be started. How it works? It will first generate the face encodings and store in the numpy zip file. Then it will generate a JSON file which contains the metadata related to the video such as name and other information. Then it will start recording video. When the video is started recording, it will display two buttons on the screen. First is the stop button and the second is cancel. To save the video successfully, press the stop button. If you want to discard a video, press the cancel button. Now Tushank will continue. The next module is used to play and answer videos on the device. The next module is used to play and answer videos on the device. This works with the help of VLC bandings for Python. So when a user presses the get answer button, so the first face recognition is done and the user is found in the database to know which questions he has asked and the device checks if an answer is available for any of those questions. The first available answer gets played. So this is how it works. First the device captures the face encodings of the person in front of the camera. Then these face encodings are matched with the available face encodings and a list of questions are generated. These questions are checked if the answer to any of them is available on the device and the first available answer gets played. Another important module is the synchronization module. This module is responsible for sending question videos to the server and downloading answer videos from the server. It sends the videos and the JSON files to a REST API enabled server and stores entries in the SQLite database. Md5 checksum is also done to ensure successful file transfer. Device info module displays three important properties of the device. The machine ID, IP address and the storage currently left on the device. When the user presses the sync button for at least two seconds this information is displayed as shown here. So you can press the sync button once to sync a video or you can long press the button to see the device info. So this is how the synchronization of video with the server works. First the device sends a request with the JSON file containing the data of the video then the server stores this information into a Mongo database and responds with a unique question ID. Then the device sends the video along with this question ID to the server. The server calculates the Md5 checksum of the file received and responds back to the device. If the Md5 matches that of the original file the device adds an entry to the SQLite database and then deletes the video from the local file system. So this is the whole picture, the flow of information over the network. The question videos are sent from RPi devices to the RPi device server which forwards these questions to another central server which also receives questions from other Android apps and iOS apps. These questions are then forwarded to the video analysis server which generates tags for each of these videos. These tags are used to identify the experts who have the required knowledge about these questions. These experts get these questions on their device and when they answer these questions get back to the original users via these servers. So this is the final outcome of a project, this device. Thank you. So one question is... Suppose I don't get a matching answer to my question, what do you do? You don't get an answer on the device. Then the device won't get the answer. The question is not answered yet. The question is not answered. So is there any way to resolve it? So to find out which questions are not answered and... There is a database that contains all the questions which are not answered. So once that question gets answered, the entry is deleted from the database. So what do you do with the list of unanswered questions? Like when the device syncs to the server, it checks all those questions. If an answer is available for any of that question and it is downloaded to a device. My question is slightly different. Is there any mechanism that you provide? I mean I think it is out of scope, your project may be. Because then there may be some other server there, central server having some other module which will actually look for such mechanism to look for questions which are not actually answered. And then identify the potential experts who can answer those questions. I think that could be an extension. What is the size of the video? That you have if you record. Like one minute video will be around 2-3 MB. 2-3 MB. And if the device gets filled up with that storage. I mean if you have lots of videos coming into that device, what do you do? Then it will give an error. Like we haven't reached that. Okay. So where will this device be used and who will use it? Like where will you place it? In institutions where there is a lack of internet connectivity and this device can be installed in village institutions where students who can't afford smartphones can come and ask questions. And whenever the institute connects this device to the internet it sends the questions to the server and then after it gets answered they are sent back to this device. So first I will come and ask a question and then later on I will come and check if there is an answer. Is it the same way to ask the question and reply to that question? We have to use the same device. So how it will be answered through video or through chat? It will be answered by the Android app. The next team has made an Android app. Yes. And you have used FF MPEG and that is very old technology. There is no Python library which can sync both audio and video at the same time. So the FF MPEG is very good in this that it can record a video and with sync with the audio easily. That is okay. I know the codec and it is I think 20 years back it has been developed. And there are so many libraries available which can produce good quality audio and video and with less size. So I think in future you should try that codec. So because of these limitations you use this. Due to power consumption problem also. This is a small device and the processing power is also low. Once I get the answer to my question. So I will get a list of videos and I will see that these are the questions which have been answered. So you said they are deleted. So do I have the option of deleting or how does it get deleted? The answer video. If the asker sees the like watches his answer then after that the answer will be deleted. Automatically. Right now it is automatically. Because suppose I want to see the answer after one or two hours. In future we can have the option that one can delete one can decide when to delete it. Okay thanks. So when video is recorded all the videos is stored in this device. So the videos are stored in the device when the device synchronizes with the server. And when the file is successfully transferred the video is deleted from this. And you have been sent one more video analytics server. So what is the use of that? They generate tags about the video like the video is related to which subject. So they will explain the third team. How it is generated tags? Ask the portion and you will receive the answer also. But he is not satisfied with the answer. So what at that situation your device is going to do? You don't have any button or anything. Right now it is not there but this can be done in future. But definitely I am not satisfied with the answer or not answered it. Yes. Right now maybe we have to record that question again. And maybe this time it will be answered by some other teacher who can satisfy that student. I don't think so that recording should be there but there should be not proper answer or anything. So whatever video format answer has come. I am not satisfied that can be deleted from that particular device. But waiting for another because it is a forum if I am not wrong at the end. So there should be multiple things for that particular question coming. It should not be stopped. Yes. Right now we have only one. For one question we have only one answer. One video will come on our device. Suppose I just see that particular question is there and a person has answered it also. I want to just modify that answer and put it another more elaborate one. So that option should be there. It should be highlighted here and one cannot satisfied or something button should also be there. Just a point to reference for the future work. Yes. I think you are making wrong assumption here. I believe you are not in control whether your device will receive the answer or not. Once the main server is sending you the answer video, your device is supposed to receive it. Once the device receives the video it deletes that entry from that database so that again it does not check for that same question. Otherwise there will be a long list. No, no. Then it is wrong. See on the server there is no limitation. The limitation is just for this device. Correct? Yes. And if you save textual information here you can store a lot of data. Yes. I believe lags. Maybe crores of videos list can be there. Video cannot be there but the question ID can still be there. This device will be taking hardly one MB of the space. Correct? So if your server always maintain a list of questions asked by a particular device and teachers are generating answers anytime because it is a forum. The question will be there all the time on Android devices. Teachers will generate the answer. Once the answer is generated, no matter when it was generated, it can be generated after a year. It should be synced back to the device. And there should be a limit that after 7 or 8 days or 30 days if nobody watched that, delete that from the device. It's okay. But let many answers sync to the device. There is no problem in that. As you said, as Yogendra said for the textual information or anything can be there. Teacher may answer in a text form also because I am just talking for this particular device only. Since you have buttons, so with the help of that buttons, you can have the text information displayed which can be scroll up and down. So any, because the teacher can answer in the video form also and give some text also. To view that text something should be there. So it recognize faces. So who will be responsible to create that faces? How it is generated? Like we are using an open source library face recognition. So it captures the face encodings when the person first asks a question. Suppose I am a new user. Yes. I don't have entries in the database. So whenever you will ask a question and the first your face encodings are stored along with the question ID. So automatically it is stored. There are some procedures. Then you press the start button to start the recording. First it will register your face to generate the face encodings and then the recording will start. And in future when you press the get answer button then it matches that face encodings with your current face encodings. Suppose again I have to ask a question then. Then the first question for which the answer is available will be shown. First time it recognize my face. Yes. Later if I ask some questions then again it will recognize or it will take the old one. It will take. How it matches? Like the next time you will ask the question and once again the face encodings will be stored to a device along with the question ID. Then what you are doing with the old one? It will show the first. Unnecessary creating the faces again and again. Like when the one question is answered already is that already the entries are user specific or question specific. Question specific. It should be user specific also. One user can ask many questions. Yes. Next time. Yeah. Tell me one thing. I am a new user to your device. I started recording video. It is syncing my data. It is taking my face information and putting it somewhere in a file. That file is a textual file or it is a database related file. Textual. Textual information. Okay. So it is a binary file. My information is stored there. Next time again I am asking a question. It will again detect my face. Try to identify. Whenever you ask a question. So what will happen? If second time I am asking a question will it create a new entry or it will match with the existing entries. It will create a new entry along with the question ID. Like for each question there is a face encoding for that question. Then there is a big problem. See if I have asked 10 questions. Okay. And then I am getting answers to all the questions here on the device. Okay. So if I am coming there to get the answers what will happen then? Which answer will I get? All of them will get matched to your face. All of them will get. So then why are you creating multiple entries for a face? You can actually after generating the entry you can see if that entry already existing or not. And you can simply match it to that rather than creating one more text file. Getting me? There should be one text file per new face or repeating face as well. Is it so? But then it will create problems in matching the answer to the question. Like which answer is matched to which question. Because we are recognizing the face and based on that only we are... No that's okay. So let us say if I have asked 10 questions. If I talk about in terms of table the one entry will be of the asker. One entry will be of the question ID. Correct. So asker will always be the same. You should associate question ID with answers. Yes. Right now we are associating a face encoding with the question ID. The face ID you are storing it locally. Locally yes. For all the thing. All the users. All users who asked on this device. Yeah. So once it is recorded the face ID is there. So it is synced to the server. And what about that face ID still remains with the... Face ID remains only on this device. It does not send to the server. Okay. If that scene is there then whenever that same person comes. He should first go through that table of the face ID. Recognize it and take the... He should not again capture the device and create a new ID again. If it is locally stored then you should use the same thing. So you try to identify. Then see from the identity that it already matches. Then don't create a new entry. It will be multiple entries. Again the system will be having... Staking space also. Unnecessarily more process will go again for that. Yes. Do you have different signature? Signature? I call it as a signature because you want to encode my face. Put it somewhere. Right? Maybe binary or whatever. Yes. Okay. So is your algorithm giving a single signature for the same face which appears even after 10 days, 20 days, 30 days? I think yes. How have we checked it? Like we tested it. What is the test? How have you tested it? Yes, it works. So what do you capture? When you see a face, what is that you look for? And what is the algorithm? We have not developed that face recognition algorithm. It's an open source library. What is the library? Face underscore recognition. Face underscore recognition. It works on Dlib. Yeah. Thanks. Thank you.


This might be one of my favorite sneakers to wear in 2024. Today we're gonna be taking a in-depth look at the Howard University Air Jordan 1 low OG. And if you guys didn't know by now, my name is DJ and this is The DNA Show. Now before we get started breaking down all the crazy details on this shoe because these things are beautiful, we gotta talk about the history first. For those that don't know, Howard University is sponsored by Jordan brand and that means what? They get their own player edition shoes. Now they haven't been sponsored by Jordan brand for too long so it's only been a couple years. And back in 22, we saw the initial debut of the sponsorship with the Air Jordan 6 Howard University. That shoe is amazing and one of my favorite sneaker pickups of last year. And as you guys can see from this in-hand look right here, this shoe is nice. But one thing that I can say is they didn't slack at all when it comes to this shoe either. So following the player exclusive release in 2022, we then saw the Air Jordan 1 low hit the streets in 2023. Now this did not only consist of Howard University, this was all of the Jordan brand sponsored schools. Now when I saw the initial images hit the internet, I was a fan of some of the sneakers, not all of them. But this one in particular, I definitely was in love with. And why? Because it's similar to the Chicago color blocking and you can never go wrong with that. So let's go ahead and take it to the studio so I can give you guys a full in-depth look of this sneaker. So here we have it. The Air Jordan 1 low OG Howard University. This is a beautiful sneaker. I keep saying it over and over again. Now there's gonna be a lot of similarities between this sneaker and the other colleges when it comes to the college PE pack. We noticed the trend over the years when they do a shoe for the college pack, they essentially do every shoe the same and then they switch up the colors depending on the school. If the schools have similar colors, they like to do opposite on the packs. Like for example, on the Oklahoma University, you see how they did the black instead of the red because it would look a lot more similar to these. So I like how they also did that in the design process to help distinguish the difference between the shoes. So like typical fashion, we're gonna break down the sneaker starting from the bottom of the shoe and then working our way up, going through all the styles, cuts and materials and especially the details because these things are dope. Looking at the outsole, as you can see, they have been worn because, Loki, I've been rocking these a little too much. You got a semi-translucent gum outsole right here and wrapping up to the midsole. You have an all-white midsole but instead of being like a pure white, it's more like a sail type of color and then that's gonna be the same sail color right there on the stitch as well when it comes to the midsole. Now going to the upper, this is gonna be similar to the Air Jordan 1 high in some aspects. You have your distressed leather on parts of the panels, giving you that similar to the Chicago color-blocking style when it comes to the color-blocking. That's gonna be the same thing here and it's actually a great example because this is a red sneaker but on those panels, on the top, on the eyes stays and in the center right here and around the front end of the toe, on the back end, on the heel cap, you're gonna see that red distressed leather all throughout the sneaker. Now going to the other panels of the sneaker on the side of the foot and on the toe, on the vamp right here, you have more of a grayish under tone type tan colored material. It's gonna be more of that premium leather that we see, something, I guess, the best example I could give you guys is kind of like the off-white Air Jordan 4s but I feel like this one is kind of like in its own little lane at the same time too and actually the trophy room ones is set to be similar to these so when you guys see those in person, you might get a better example of what the materials are like. Now looking at the swoosh on the side of the foot, another dope touch right here, you got that stingray like material in the all navy blue swoosh and that's gonna be the same thing on the inside of the foot as well and then you have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven holes right here instead of the eight like the OG. Now going to the front end of the shoe right here, you have a small little touch with the hint of blue on the Nike swoosh just embroidered in there. Now these come standard with a pair of sail wax laces and then you also have an additional pair of navy wax laces that come in here and you have an additional pair of red wax laces that come with the shoe. So you can switch it up, do whatever you like to do, school colors you name it. Honestly I feel like these would look dope with any of them but I got them and they came with the sail laces standard in there so I just rocked them like that and I haven't really taken the time to switch them out but honestly I feel like again they would look dope with any of the three. Let me know down below in the comment section which color you guys would rock with. Now just behind that you have that same material on the leather going up the tongue and then you have a navy blue tab and then the same sail color branding right here on the Nike Air on the tongue. Now going to the inside and the sock liner and everything around it, oh my gosh they did an amazing job. Not only is this around the collar area of the sneaker but it's on the back end of the tongue as well. So you have a red piping that goes around here and bordering that in a red mesh and then you have a diamond stitched all around right here around the collar and behind the tongue that's going to be all red satin with a red stitch and then on the sock liner here you have a red sock liner and then it says Howard Bison on the left foot and the same thing right here on the right foot. So if you guys haven't seen in the past I did a review on my Florida Gators Air Jordan 1 Lows and as you can see you just with the two shoes side by side, a lot of similarities even when it comes to the tab on the tongue. The navy tab, the navy swoosh, the orange tab, the orange swoosh, everything is essentially identical. Again just flip for the school colors depending on the school and as you can see again right here the dominant color being blue and then the secondary color being orange and again I feel like the only one that really was kind of flipped was Oklahoma just because they did an all red shoe for these so I understand that aspect. Now like I was talking about earlier referring to the stingray right here on the side with the swoosh that's also similar to the high top version right here but these actually came out a few years ago and at the time when they were doing the Jordan 1 College Peas in the high top Howard University was not a Jordan brand school so that's why you don't see this sneaker in the Howard University version but they took a lot of similar elements from this shoe right here. The distress leather on the side panel adding that to the main part of the shoe the stingray on the swoosh that's very similar as well. Color blocking a little bit different this is a toe style this is a Chicago style when it comes to color blocking but overall definitely a lot of similarities between the two shoes but again at the end of the day this is all hypothetical stuff and just random things that we talk about at sneaker heads because Howard wasn't sponsored by Jordan brand at the time so I'm just kind of like you know assuming how it would have been. Let me know what you guys think what it would have turned out like down below in the comment section if they would have been sponsored by Jordan brand at the time. So now when it comes to a sneaker like this typically the price in the market on the Jordan one Lowe's on the college PEs they range anywhere from again used size color of the school different things like that you can find pairs from 1800 bucks to $5,000 it's gonna be a huge range when it comes to these so as of right now they have the Howard University Air Jordan sixes and then we saw the Howard University Air Jordan one Lowe's let me know what you guys like more down below in the comment section I've done a review for these in the past if you guys want to see it I'll make sure it's linked down below in the description for you guys if you enjoyed this if you want to see more I have a full playlist dedicated to samples PEs all the crazy exclusive shoes that may be in my collection or collections that I have toured in the past I'll have that at the end of the video for you guys to watch I'll see y'all in another one I'm out if you enjoyed this video and you want to learn more I have a ton on the inside when it comes to my sneaker head academy it's a eight week program that breaks down everything when it comes to the ins and outs of the shoe game learning the market and how to grow and scale your collection at the same time or turn it into a hustle and get a bunch of money if you'd like to do that as well and if you want to invest in the real estate I have all the tips and tricks in live meetups where we do monthly meetups and everybody jumps in and we go over a call and we talk about different goals and aspirations that we have and how we can help each other get there so if that's something that you're interested in hit the link down below get signed up I would love to see you on the inside it's the holidays right now so we got a special going as well all right you guys I'm out also I'm not sure if you guys have seen it but the college PE of the year is the Air Jordan 23 we've talked about this a little bit on the channel I have the Oklahoma's right here and here's a quick picture of the Howard University 23s I'll begin those in my collection soon don't worry


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering AWS re-invent 2017 presented by AWS, Intel, and our ecosystem of partners. Welcome back everyone. We're live here in Las Vegas, 45,000 people here at Amazon Web Services re-invent. It's theCUBE's exclusive coverage. I'm John Furrier, my co-host Stu Miniman. Our next guests are Barry Russell, general manager and business development of Amazon Web Services Marketplace. Growing like a weed and Chad Whelan, who's a global vice president of public cloud for F5. Guys, welcome back to theCUBE. Barry, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. So, I mean, just, you can kind of see it now that's clear as day. No more, I mean, Andy says I want to, we're okay to be misunderstood, that quote. Okay, no one's going to misunderstand the marketplace. No, I think it's pretty clear. You get in there and you make money. Yeah. It's pretty straightforward.  What's the current pitch? I mean, this sounds like an easy sell at this point. What's the real benefits? Cause more services are coming in. You got composability. What's the current state of the marketplace? Yeah. You know, I think it's a couple of things. It's about selection and customer choice. So we've really grown the catalog in terms of the number of listings that are available, now more than 4,200 listings in the catalog. And we announced three key features that we launched on Tuesday. AWS Private Link, which enables SaaS products to be run in a VPC. We announced Private Image Build that allows enterprise customers to run their own hard and OS underneath an image. And then we announced enterprise contract to reduce friction in the procurement process between large enterprise customers and software vendors. Okay, so I got to ask the AWS question. What was the working backwards document on this? Was it a main request from the customers? What was the main driver for some of these features? Because it sounds like they want to be cloud native, but yet they still got to get that migration over or was it something else? What was the driver? The driver was customer feedback. We went out and we interviewed hundreds of customers over the last 12 months before we started building some of these features. And without a doubt, they told us they wanted broader selection, broader deployment options, and to reduce friction around the contracting process. And then we just started building. And over the course of the last nine to 10 months, that's what we've delivered. Awesome. All right, step five, you guys are in the marketplace. You're partnering with AWS. What's your relationship with AWS? How's that going? No, I would say our relationship with AWS is fantastic. I mean, they're obviously the innovator in the cloud space. Public cloud is a strategic imperative for F5. They're at the vanguard of really the innovation of what's taking place in public cloud. And marketplace is a fantastic medium to reach market. And so we really have the premise around meeting our customers, how and when they want to be met. Marketplace is an excellent vehicle for us to do that. And we've enjoyed a lot of success as we've launched. How has your customer's consumption changed with the cloud? I can only imagine that as they look at the mix of how they're going to consume technology, they want some cloud. How did you guys hone in on AWS? What was the real factor there? Was it acquisition of the technology? Was it the performance? What was some of the key things? You know, I think it's all about really reducing the friction in the process, right? Our customers are moving to the cloud to have real-time agility and velocity in their business. What we get out of marketplace is a fantastic set of options from a commercial construct. This solved the customer requirements. If it's going to be app development, we do it on a utility by the hour. When you start to go into a production, we can do it in a subscription or a BYOL. So it's really about what application is there permanence and what's the best outcome for the customer.  They're tailoring the products, basically. It sounds like customers looking at this tailored model, whatever their needs are. They don't want to be forced into a certain use case. They can just kind of mix and match. Yep, absolutely. Yeah, Barry, you know, I think networking security been spaces that I've seen really exploding in this ecosystem over the last couple of years.  Well, we work with each vendor that lists in the catalog. We have an SA team, solution architect team, to work with them on the optimal architecture, be that an AMI based, API based, in SaaS based. And then we give that vendor and their product development teams the ability to price those products in utility consumption model, metered, for example, on the amount of data or bandwidth consumed, multi-year contracts that are publicly priced or negotiated behind the scenes. So both in the innovation and the engineering and how the customer actually deploys the product, we innovate on pricing and consumption models to match those deployment options. And we give vendors all vendors that enter the catalog, whether they're open source or commercial products, like F5, the option to use all of those features. Yeah, Chad, I think back to, you know, there was a wave of like software, you know, happening kind of, you know, networking and security and everything. But, you know, you've always been in kind of the application delivery portion of this.  Yeah, that's a great question. I think that, you know, because public cloud is such a fantastic vehicle for our customers, it was really customers focused, right? So when you work back from what the customer wants, both in terms of how you orchestrate, how you automate, and then what the commercial construct is, then they can use it in a best fit application. And that's really the grounding point for us. And when we get friction, anytime you have a new medium, there's going to be friction points and learning points. We've worked in concert with AWS, Marketplace in particular, about solving these ways, whether it's in private offers or custom negotiated offers, specifically for customers to meet their needs from an economic and a delivery standpoint. I got to ask the question, because this always pops in my head, especially this reinvent. The pace of service is being released. Lambda, serverless, you can just see it coming. It's going to put more pressure under the hood for automation and the heavy lifting that's DevOps as we know, right? So no news there. The question is, what does it mean for the Marketplace? Because now you're going to be under a lot of pressure to integrate a lot of these plumbing and door abstracted away DevOps like tools that the developers don't want to provision. So you got to automate. So that seems like a challenge. How do you guys dealing with that? How do you make Lambda sing? How do you guys make this thing go smoother? Yeah, it's a really great question. I mean, one of the challenges that you get in when you get into what I would say cloud sprawl, within an organization, is how do you maintain the governance and compliance of those workloads? And so we're really looking at it from that basis as we want to give as much flexibility into the model while still maintaining what was designed from the beginning. And so our customers want to use the rules. They want to have that portability into public cloud so they have that assurance. The underlying technologies are just the delivery vehicles, whether it's containers or Lambda or whatever in a serverless architecture. We're focused really on making sure that we have that ubiquity of posture across the asset wherever the asset is. It's your services work together properly. Barry, what's the trends that you're seeing in the marketplace? I mean, obviously a lot of growth, a lot of data. And one of the things I love about this reinvent is that they're servicing this new playbook of, hey, use the data, your own data. We saw a new relic had a great report. Sumo Logic had a report. They're basically anonymizing the data, but they're using real data. And Werner talked about this in the keynote. What data can you share about the marketplace that shows some trends that indicates or allows us to read the tea leaves of what's going to happen next? Well, I think the customer growth stat that we shared in terms of active monthly customers, we've grown from a hundred active monthly customers. We announced last re-invent, last year earlier, to now 160,000 active customers using the marketplace. So we see steady growth. We see growth and adoption from the enterprise and customers like Shell and Thompson Reuters that we announced for part of enterprise contracts on Tuesday, really beginning to think about using the marketplace to go from traditional procurement, moving to a digital procurement model allows their IT organizations, DevOps teams, to move much faster when pairing with services like a Kinesis, like an S3, like a Redshift when they're matching third-party software with an AWS native service. Are you happy with things right now that are pretty much looking pretty good? I'm happy. Mill the fairway. It's been a fantastic show. You're happy. Yeah, I'm happy. F5 has been a great partner of ours in the marketplace, so we're, I'm going to have to camper. What's next? What's next? I think what's next for us next year is continuing to grow the enterprise contract that we deployed. So we started with a small set of customers and vendors that participated to help us arrive at that contract that they both could use. And I think over the course of the next 12 months, we really need to think about the types of customers and vendors that enter that program. All right, Barry Russel and Chad Whelan with F5. Barry will be back on our next segment with another partner, a lot of partner goodness here. Amazon's ecosystem is exploding, and there's a lot of value to be had by all. It's the cube bringing you some content value. On our third day live coverage, 45,000 people here this year at Amazon Webster's re-invent. More at this short break. I'm John Furrier, Stu Miniman. We'll be right back.


njoy the concert it's it's gonna be great of course i will do thanks take care bye bye thank you very much for your call any similar experiences here here says this listener on the darkness into light much too expensive we are also a family of four uh who were willing to walk but had to forget about it another caller says what is the carbon footprint of one wind turbine a pass close to a wind farm last week and judging by their size i was wondering how much land has to be moved to create the thousands of tons of concrete needed to hold these structures upright in the wind there can't be any regard for the ecosystem and natural habitat of existing wildlife wind energy is therefore not free and of course uh there is um it has been worked out how long a wind turbine has to be up before it's even um seen as sort of carbon neutral i don't know those figures off the top of my head so best not to uh quote them another texture says bono saves the world again is such a man of peace when will he get an obel piece prize he's my superhero and such a great voice we're lucky to have him as an irish ambassador he's loved worldwide such a pity arland is full of begrudgers therefore we criticize him instead of worshiping him i don't this irony in that and then there's there seems to be irony in that message and then there seems to be honest intent i don't know i can't work it out turbines are backed up 24 7 by gas and all the fossil fuels believes this caller because the grid cannot take the intermittent electricity the propaganda is from the wind energy association who profit there's an ongoing auction of subsidies on right now and only those companies who get subsidies will apply for planning permission result of the auction is may 17th they say all right we'll be talking sport gea

be broadcast out on air its presenter of course is brendan devaney uh good morning brendan how are you keeping going about it um the i suppose you know there's a lot of action but yesterday's game donagall versus cavern i think and i don't want to be critical um but it's not meant to this is more in sympathy to cavern than to put donagall down i'm not trying to do that but the score line a little bit flattering and especially if that's shot off the bar had gone in it would have been a bit cruel on cavern because they were in that game pretty much right to the end weren't they yeah that's my favorite you're about to see if it was to you and patting good hands to it so yeah we seemed a bit out of sorts the first half and again how much you put that down the awesome and how well they played they were brilliant they were mixing it up physically strong they were entertaining their full forward line and and and they're in front of ghost at halftime you know they had 10 shots at nine points and some kraken scores in there and they were stripping the ball off us and we did and we looked out of sorts but you really thought we kind of lumped on the halftime like a lot of our scores came from freezing that and it was nine each and you thought we'll get better second half but you're right that the goal was we were fortuitous we had broke back to adonal good finish you know um but the keeper coming out probably made that a goal that might not happen then that was supposed to gain a bit of a turning point for us but this and cavern were we're brilliant particularly in that first half yeah and um i suppose at the end of the day you have to be what's in front of you and and a good team can switch it up and can pull it out of the bag when need be dependent on the opposition yeah yeah and listen you're right i think there was a bit of experience and players coming back and jimmy brennan you'd see that extra about a game time and and training and geely mcgonag come off the bench at the point in an important stage and that's what we've got a good mixture of a of a squad there now um cab and trying to squeeze up on pattern as well and he was able to just clip the ball past him so we have a lot of things was good about it i think from the cavern perspective you know people are looking them because they went down to division four thinking you know that they're spent falls yeah but really that's probably shouldn't have happened and the lockdown there was a lot of strange things that happened you know previous to them beating us on the final in 2020 you know they'd beat mollhan back the back in the championship you know any day we beat mollhan be a good day so you know they won a lot they won four in a row on their edge and they had a lot of good good footballers they'd been an austere final against us a few years previous so they weren't like a lot of sides in austere they were winning games in austere as well and in their league position you know looking at them people are saying they're a division two team to me looking at our math in the previous game they look a better side than our math yeah there's some real good signs for the future as well i think in that cavern team as well who do you think we'll be playing in the final that's that's a possible one that is a toss of a coin now um listen it's to say connor's gilligan's coming on later be interesting to get his views on what he thought of it derri and again looking at league games and looking at cavern's league we looked at derri and we thought right there coming up up and up there there won the big five in lcp like and then they got hammered by gallway and a freaky's game got absolutely taken apart and you think well maybe they're not that good then they come in and hammered to roam off the park but listen mollhan have learned a lot from that to roam performance and how derri played and what they did you know so they'll have a plan so that that'll i think that'll be a kick ill ball game um so it's certainly set up a cracker for us whoever gets through um it's looking like a brand in the holster final uh the game before the senior game was the ladies game a victory uh for that team which is uh a good yeah holster final now we are mad listen yeah maxi corn uh do working as magic there's 319 to 111 phenomenal stuff from from the ladies you know they just seem to keep keep getting better and big match now we are mad and seeing how far donnie gall can progress because this and they're in all ireland contender and that's that's the dream for the girls all right um how did you think just on the senior someone to know um i'm not sure if you didn't get to see this that came live necessarily or or what uh as in in person but i mean obviously everyone's an armchair uh an armchair expert talking about donnie gall's style is it adapted at all uh from you know the the criticism that's been there as it relates to defense the lateral play do you do you see any change i'm not going to say progression because that's to presume the old way is a bad way i don't know enough to know that but yeah i yeah it was hard to say yesterday i think in the first half it slowed down a few times you've seen us going back i always think that if you take that easy option my side go back where they are dropping in players they seem to be bringing a lot more energy and a lot more directness with us they probably can learn a bit from that because we have plenty of big men in there and particularly the way michael comes in and out and patrick can run his own ball but maybe there is an option i mean the size of langan megay and kealan maybe there's an option that we we go longer more direct because you see the danger it causes and it's almost impossible to mark with them big men so i think there's something in that for donnie gall and the ability to maybe switch tacked mid game mid game yeah because they had four players i mean really coming in and out smith mccarran and lynch they could all win balls galligan and every one of them was as they're rotating in you see your defense hasn't set if you've just a guy standing there all the time you're basically shepherding him and he's trying to get into the game whereas if you a guy that's half in and he's coming in and out who's picking him up and at one stage i think it was galligan ended up with ryan mccue yesterday for high ball in so calvin i think we're almost trying to get that match up if mccue ended up picking up one of those players you drift inside we'll give it in long so it certainly is a tactic because we have the we have the players to do that yeah okay so uh clanley gilligan and uh gilligan and brendan kill coin and deckland but are going to be analysing that game and looking to the future to ensure it's going to go manage a deckland boner on as well yeah yeah and we feedback and analysis from all the games as well deckland boners coming on uh two day give us his take on it so i'll be asking them what happened in that first half and then i'll be saying it was your halftime team talk obviously deckland all the tough questions that's the magic you can't be took as often we won't come back so that's a sports thing i have to ask him that's intact and doesn't mean it i know him well enough though it's thick skinned you have to be uh and jerry mcgloughlin's on as well yeah i'm just waiting to hear from jerry all right yeah jerry very interesting night a few few weeks ago there is a poetry book uh you may have asked what's that got to do now jerry obviously is a g a correspondent and on the night it was all g was there a couple of gallway guys former gallway all ireland one and captain certainly mcgloughlin was down in that there was music but it was obviously intertwined with with g a so so uh it was a bright night it was it was down just outside balyshanan and we hauled down there so i said to jerry come on and i'm i'm hoping he'll uh finish the show whether we've got a poetry or something a bit different yeah fair play to you all right brandon now the show is available as a podcast later it's broadcast on air after the seven o'clock news all right brandon listen thank you very much indeed that's uh brandon demaney there uh presenter of the dl debate he's input in the finishing touches to that podcast just as we speak right uh caller says greg never forget bono's contribution to making the good friday agreement happen it may have only appeared for a second on stage but never forget he was the link in the three-man chain of our divided country uh is that uh accurate or maybe overracking it or underplaying it i don't know why are people living at the market square on blankets and the same people uh have houses i don't know the answers to that question and uh i don't know the basis of that message either okay now more comments coming in here of course i'll try and grab them how long does it take to bruised ribs to heal i wonder especially in your back anyone oh wait six six two twenty five thousand i am not a good patient but my wits end and it's only been a day uh greg i'm going to the eagles concerts hotels were up to 925 on bucking.com it's just unreal i think it's always best to ring at reception as well you know bucking.com uh secures a certain amount of rooms in each hotel um and i know an awful lot of hotels want you to ring them up and talk to them directly i just think bucking.com uh doesn't necessarily give you the full and accurate picture i definitely ring around the hotels in the area some might have deals or cancellations or what have you uh bucking.com they have their set amount of rooms they can set them up whatever they like independent to the hotel is my understanding so don't be discouraged straight away by bucking.com try ringing your hotel uh direct because even sometimes bucking.com will say uh greg's hotel is sold out right um but only the four or five rooms they have is sold out the rest of the hotel is is is empty uh not empty sorry it has availability so don't hang all your hopes on bucking.com is my suggestion hi tell that lady to try irish mini breaks or little breaks sometimes they do good deals another we had american people over for easter went to a local hotel for dinner they added 10 euro per person because it was easter an easter premium okay uh there isn't an hotel or airbnb for under 300 night at weekends in dublin now uh 1000 euro for a weekend a lot of hotels have refugees so these those remaining can charge what they like our tourism industry will uh suffer uh go away june bank holiday hotel for two adults three children 12 50 for saturday and sunday night 1350 euro each for breakfast ripoff who is paying for these but again is that through uh let's check some direct prices for hotels it'd be worth maybe we might do a little experiment here and ring up some of the hotels uh on these nights and see what their prices versus the bucking.com or other website prices it's a disgrace what hotels are charging dublin a ripoff from may to uh august i agree with mary prices and hotels have increased because of inflation and got worse in certain areas because the hotels are accommodating people in crisis leaving fewer to choose from we've spent years building rural and local tourism only to break it down and i think right from the get go and it wasn't in any way uh to say that we shouldn't be helping people because we have to it was about hotels in built up areas i think i said at the very first time it was mooted as part of the first interview the first hotel how long will this be for because the tourism industries reliant very much uh the shops that sells the newspapers i think was the example i gave or the coffee shop or the restaurant or wherever it might be is reliant on people being in the area often but staying in hotels and if that hotel accommodation isn't there well then the tourists uh might not be there danie joins us now hi danie come on in here great how are you good to speak to you we were sort of having a conversation about shopping home brands or own brands and some suggestion you could save up to three thousand euro a year by doing so uh when you're out and about are you looking for bargains what's your approach danie oh yes yes i yeah i'm always looking for bargain certainly greg but but no uh my experience with home brands is that a few years ago well it's more than a few years ago i used to uh shop and just rush in get the product that was used to like you know and take it off the shelf and not look at the price or anything but then uh there was one time that the product i went for wasn't there so i just quickly took a home brand stuff took it home and i thought oh this is not bad and things then i come started comparing prices products and things and and don't get me wrong greg i'm not a sort of person that will eat anything just to be cheap yeah uh it takes a lot to satisfy me and and then i was uh excuse me sorry there's a sorry that was my phone just going no problem yeah no uh tell you say it takes a lot to satisfy me but now i'm quite content see because when i i shop for myself i get bread i get tea i get cereals i get packet soup products i get team food i get stuff for the dog i've got an 18 year old dog here and he doesn't complain but i think what about the i think people can be very fussy uh on things like beans or spaghetti or teabags uh do you notice any big difference between the traditional you know high state the traditional famous brands and own brands and and things like that yeah you do indeed it not so much it takes a while to get used to it you you sort of you see difference like say in the thickness of the quality of the sauce and stuff like that but but i found also with with good products that that they was going away from sort of my sort of tastes some of them was too sugary some of them are too salty you know and i'm even eating food now that hasn't got uh like low in sugar because i prefer the taste of it yeah yeah no i found that myself switching switching brands of one particular food to the other it was you could really feel like you could taste sugar and salt in it um and switched back again is there any no-goes for you do you know because i presume if you're buying own brand bread which is going to be significantly cheaper we don't have own brand bakery surely a lot of this stuff probably emanates from the same places as the the the branded stuff but is there any own brand stuff you just generally avoid not yet you know like say i don't pasta or a particular food type or are you happy to to consume all own brand stuff donnie no i've i've tried it all really no i i sort of give it a go and that's why i'm saying or advising the people is is if it a try and and if it applies you know to your taste if it's good to cook with and stuff like that they then sort of stick with it and and you do save yourself money i wouldn't recommend just all all your basket would be own brand that what it what happens to me greg what i save on the home bread i can then splash out on something else that i can't get as a home brand you know little treats that makes sense yeah i've also noticed i said to colin that i've noticed that when i used to go in and get my own brand bread uh products like beans and stuff like that i had no trouble getting it but these last six months it's been very difficult i i've been buying more expensive bread because the home brand's cheaper bread is not there all right okay that's that's interesting because it's one thing having the will but if it's not there often i was a long time waiting for a home brand uh dog treats like the dental shoes for my dog and they was forever out of stock all the more expensive stuff was there i was buying it for but you're talking about a difference between 75 cents and and two euros that's huge what's your dog's name donnie he's Caesar Caesar and everybody knows him around here sort of in the Dunlowe world like uh might the air i'm living in there yeah Caesar he's 18 years old and he hasn't complained too much when you're on back with own brand treats he used to not much complain it's even with other products that he's he's a fussy dog also if i put a tin of food out and he doesn't want it he'll walk away from it so the conversation is is you've no problem doing the home brand or own brand but the the bottom line is it's availability now you're noticing that an availability is not there i do i think i think a lot more people are starting to not only like use their eyes to look at labels but that you're looking at the pricing and and comparing the prices you know because the another thing uh shops do like low tea cards yes and and vouchers and i could never get a a basket of food big enough to to use the voucher but now i might my expense still shopping the same stuff but but due to the rising price of everything it's gone up and now i can use them by vouchers but they're not available i mean you know you know you spend over 50 euros see it's okay i know it's okay for me great because i'm on my own here myself and the dog if you've got a family you've got youngsters and that it's difficult to get them but i've i've i know it's anecdotal but i've seen in other cases and things that where people are keeping the packaging of good brands they call it that and then decanting it from from a box or a bottle to try and food for the children and i think people even the adults are falling themselves because i would be the one that when it came to ketchup it ketchup like it had to be that the one brand but now i i use an own brand i use unsalted and i love it you're right though there is another issue about branding though you see and particularly with young people if it's not a certain brand i don't like that but i can see the logic in decanting it into another bottle because then they don't notice the difference just one final thing i mean is is is own brands products still really on sexy packaging i mean it's in the same packaging it's about the design i wonder why they don't sort of use it up a little bit yeah it could be that you see because there's a there's a shop that i particularly go to they've got their own brand and then then they've got uh even they call it cheaper one again let's just call it basic and that's very thing but but but if i would also give that a try but even if there was something in the tin if he just had tomatoes on it and just said the word tomatoes i would give it a try but then if it doesn't suit me i would be back to the stuff i i i'm more particular about uh you know i have to eat it i don't like wasting nothing greek like that and there's no good buying cheap stuff and just eat it because it's cheap no of course and i think you're balancing it there you're doing it there's a balancing act between you know what's an acceptable quality for you and if you can save a few bob even if it's to treat yourself rather than to bank it all well and good no i think it's it's a it's a decent a good approach thank you very much danny you're welcome and give Caesar a treat for us as well i will all right take care bye okay Heinz uh helmans mayonnaise and Heinz ketchup they can never be replaced without notice yeah helmans is uh i can understand helmans uh i don't know any difference between mayonnaise is the ketchup certainly you can tell the difference between the various ketchups but i don't know right okay we ran an instagram poll on this issue just for the crack and you can follow us on highland radio donnie gall on instagram to have your say we asked our generic brands just as good in other words your own brands and the audience have responded absolutely 33 percent they just aren't the same eight percent to a lovely balanced view it depends uh on the product and thanks to donna marie uh for helping out with that uh the majority of you uh actually just eight percent of you that voted feel that you wouldn't go near your own brand stuff because they're simply just not the same um right hi talking about the price of hotels me and my partner went to port russia saturday night bed and breakfast it was 260 pounds just for one night never again we had to pay a lot of money to buy sterling wow okay that's that's up there isn't i mean that would have to be a good saturday night uh if the truth be told uh greg i'm going to the eagles concert and hotels were up to 925 euro on booking.com it's just unreal but i want to speak to or hear from you if you tried booking.com and says you know what that's uh unacceptable and then went and tried say for instance to ring directly to see if you got any better value i know that works i've done it myself but i want to hear from you guys out there too. coming to letter kenny god he was beautiful big brown war three a's and i'm like an average in angus gold

the program now uh by lillian senai bar stlp cancer and director of programs with the northwest migrants forum good morning to you lillian how are you keeping good morning it's great to it's great to have you on the program right now um the northwest migrants forum on behalf of which uh you you speak are running a campaign called no racist border on ireland's island could you talk to us about the situation that pertains that really has triggered this campaign yes um for many people you would know that the common travel area is supposed to be free movement or afford free movement for everyone living in on the island of ireland and fortunately that is actually not accurate there are so many people within the island of ireland who cannot freely uh move on the island and those are people from minority ethnic communities particularly who are called none or none you can none you can't Irish citizens and they are commonly called non cta nationals and um many of them would be people who are permanent residents of both sides of the island they live here lovely and they may be spouses of citizens but are not afforded that uh opportunity or that freedom to move without applying for visas now um like i'm not trying to be controversial or here but just to to ask a question um obviously you know the word racist is an important really really important word um now is this actually a racist border i mean i just wonder would the same rules apply uh in white uh non irish or non uk uh national countries if that makes sense do you think do you think using the word racist in this is accurate obviously you do but i just wanted to explain it to you it is it is very accurate because if you're traveling through the border and we have a lot of evidence to prove that the only people who are going to be stopped are people who look different now that there we get to the the the the uh the knots of it okay so um people would say put sure if you're living in letter kenny and you want to go to dairy no one's going to stop you but you're saying there is a level of enforcement can you give us sort of a typical experience it doesn't have to be between the two areas i've mentioned but what can happen to people i'm sure a lot of people may have read on the newspapers where black people are stopped and asked to produce their um identity cards on the bus when they are traveling and mainly have witnessed that who are traveling on the bus when they've got that for example would stop our bus they will only profile the black or brown person to ask to produce their documents not because there is any um evidence of any criminal offence that has been made but just because there's an assumption you have no right to cross the border and this not only affect none u k citizen it impact on somebody like me who is a citizen on the island who's what is the description of an irish person and how does the um god i know that i'm not irish and the truth is is i will never uh have to i'll never be challenged and have to prove that but you uh probably will and have and that's yeah exactly i have um many of us have i i think you will find a lot of black people who have traveled across the island who have had the same experience and many people would even avoid traveling across the the border because of their necessary stress that they have to go through yeah i think what's interesting about this conversation linian is that there will be a lot of people hearing of this for the first time obviously not those that are affected by it but uh people who they'll be gone what that actually happens on the island of island that people are you know profiled or stopped for moving freely north and south and vice versa like i think this campaign obviously it's to garner support but i think it's actually people are going to be going we did not know that was happening at all you're very right every single person i've spoken to who lives in dairy or don't ago have never ever thought that people would be stopped they actually think it is ridiculous to start with and i think this is the key point the public are not aware and it's these are immigration rules that have created by policy makers in back rooms and are not publicized for the public because they know there will be an outrage i'll give an example that irish government has been very generous to ukrainian citizens they have opened the borders for them none of them have to apply for a visa to come and we know that there are so many of them who now live in um bolcana or leta kenny because there are none there are none uk citizens or none british irish citizens they are subject to immigration rule what will happen to them if they cross to the border and come to the north will they be stopped or vice versa those who are coming to dairy going to because they're also non european citizen so this is an issue that the public needs to know but the government need to take action to ensure that every single citizen who live on the island of island can be freely moving there because it's another way of building that sense of belonging and if if if the britain and northern island the uk is a collective uh i mean you've heard it from some politicians talking about island being a backdoor into britain if that if that is a concern you have well then you police that at the border uh in velfast yeah you know i mean it's it's not i mean if that is the motivation it's very easy to do it in a uh in a less intrusive and and also you know really specific manner and the reality is this is actually in the gift of the irish government because the issue of the non european citizens coming to island is specifically a rule a bridge an irish government immigration rule it does not require the british government it does not require the european government it is the immigration the immigration office in island that is enforcing it so it is in the irish government's gift and the irish people to push it because what the many that we have met and spoken to do not want it to exist on the island of island are you more likely to be stopped if you live in the republic and are traveling into north versus living in the north and traveling into the republic are you more likely to see enforcement depending on your direction of travel mostly those who are stopped are those actually traveling to the uh to the republic of island because the uk in my border's control would only come into force when they suspect there are people coming to the north and they will not interfere with the irish immigration rule so they will not cross the border to stop people from the irish side if you like so this is specifically enforced by the irish government but with new nationality and border's bill we risk having a hard border for non ea non eunance uk citizens wait the british government will try to enforce but this is the point that i would like to make again the british government will not enforce immigration rules in island it is the irish government that will be expected to enforce that immigration rule all right and unfortunately we find ourselves in a position that this has to be uh fought through a petition really you would imagine that this would be quite a large conversation on a national scale within politics that it wouldn't require uh it wouldn't require a a a a grassroots sort of campaign so talk to us about the um talk to us about the petition so we have the north west migrants firm has launched a petition and this is seeking support from the public and you can find the petition on the website we have key issues that uh we have highlighted through the petition but we have also provided remedies for this particular immigration rule we are asking the irish government to extend the rights for freedom of movement for every lawful citizen or resident who live on the island of island particularly those who live in the north because it is within their own gift to do that we are also asking a pathway for citizenship for those people who have come to make uh northern island they are home but would wish to become irish rather than british because they're marriage to irish citizens there is no pathway unless you are married to an irish citizen so if you are a south african couple husband and wife both from south africa and you have lived in dairy for 25 years you will never be citizens of island and that could be what you prefer than being a british citizen so it's very simple remedies that um the irish government can show that political will to extend that and for example or in particular now that they are all talking about a shared island and we do know that because this can be done with a stroke of a pen we know the rules that were able to be changed very rapidly to allow ukrainian people from outside europe effectively to move here to be able to claim benefits and to be able to work so if the will is there we know the way is there absolutely it is something that the irish government can decide to do it today if they wanted to yeah precisely lillian lovely to speak to you thanks for joining us thank you very much and i hope your listeners can sign our petition they can find it on our website at the www.nwmf.org.uk have a lovely day lillian thank you very much indeed that's lillian c noibar there who's a director of programs with the northwest migrants forum okay uh did you realize that that was the case our politicians to be need to be more like hungry in their attitudes towards e you are under lab dogs to e you and the un are we okay uh financially better off did the guy on just before not say we were 14 trillion in debt our fishing depleted massive irish factory boats scraping our oceans and our farmers tied to rules and regulations if all started would we be even able to fend ourselves or feed ourselves politicians who aim to please europe rather than our own people signing us up for treaties without consulting big jobs for the big boys are we really better off sometimes i doubt it but listen uh 88 percent of people believe we are so that seems to be the will of the the opinion of the nation a caller says it is not only island that is in debt and paying back interest many other countries are in the same position once again with the island not able to take its responsibility but relying on other countries for our defense but look at like we're seen as a rich country because we can afford to borrow and pay it back at the rates that are currently being charged you know every country's indebted as that texture says uh i think it's only about 10 years ago that uh britain paid off the loan it borrowed from america uh during one of the world wars so long-term debts leveraged on generations is not unusual uh and i'm not really sure it does it really matter on a day-to-day basis obviously it does but you know they keep saying we're rich yet we're heavily indebted i don't know um this caller says the reason those checks are taking place it's to stop people sneaking into the republic via northern arland without getting checked hi greg so 240 schools are taking talking up the eu today according to minister mcconnellogue this might be rightly called the new eu brainwashing of our little children in any other situation donagore needs to declare its independence from the eu that's uh i i agree i don't know about independence from the eu i do agree that though if we uh i i think it's it's very important that children get a balanced view on things that we don't have a preloaded uh argument uh in terms of stuff maybe does that apply to a conversation about the eu i don't know if we're going into schools uh on a broad scale saying it's great um i'm not sure that helps our children um with their thought processes and decision-making but anyway i would love to know how charlotte mcconnellogue's know we're in a far better position within the eu than out of it has he seen alternative outcomes no shin fain awaiting in the wings to fix this country's problems believe this texture another hi greg the fish inspector say dairy is not part of arland uh yeah as it relates to the landing greg please ask charlotte mcconnellogue why our fishing industry is to pay for the prosperity of others in our country it seems to be the weakest in society a targeted first to carry the can same for the environment issues but every time we talk about the quotas that the standard answer is that you know these will be renegotiated it's the best deal we can get and we're going to try and get a better deal and you know yourself the stuff we hear kevin says greg uh greg it's all about the brand as i have an empty box of barry's tea other brands are available um and just for the cracker put in aldean little teabag teabags in and no one has copped on back then it's like shopping with an m&s bag full of aldean little bag inside similar to 40 shades book with a reader's digest front cover i got the idea from channel for super shoppers comparison was a blind test of tesco water to evian tesco came out on top but on brand is the norm now yeah i just think we're we'll transition very quickly to where we can save some money uh the fact that we have to hide it in other packaging that says an awful lot about osse i think um but sure even with those wine testing i remember this one lady she was really quite famous for testing wines and she was putting it in her mouth and swirling it around and describing it and spit it out and then she was on another program about three months later and they gave her the exact same wines to test and her description uh and her opinion of the wines was completely completely different compared to the first time around oh but there you go all right more from the phone lines after this quick break the nine till noon show with city of dairy airport pre-brook your airport parking fast track and launch

by showers and some sunny spells the showers may be heavy at times what they will clear away later in the evening temperatures of 13 to 16 degrees kevin good morning to you good morning great nice to speak with you right kevin you would have been uh you you've got a good background on this topic because you would have holidays at home staycationed whatever the phrase might be and you would have done it before the pandemic then you would have seen sort of the boom in the staycationing market and now we're sort of maybe in the aftermath of that of that what is your view in it all kevin well before the store staycation can probably been uh holiday in ireland for the last 15 years right uh caravan camper van caravan and staycation came along because of the pandemic now us ireans have a habit of when they see something that is bringing a bit of business to what we do as we just go mad and rob the people blamed and that's what's actually happening in staycation has been away and brought the people blamed on something that was always there how big how big of the difference is kevin well and since the pandemic uh my fees have gone up 400 a year 402 years right okay yeah i got you right and even at that like i mean don't forget we we didn't have a full season last season or the season before you know is there any argument i don't know if power is separate is there any argument that you know the cost of services has gone up and that has to be passed on to the likes of yourself kevin or is there but that's that's only recently great okay cost of service has gone up like you know i'm talking like even if you go into the the the uh the guide the caravan touring guide uh sites all over the country have put up for prices 25 35 40 percent you know and what they're depending on as this thing staycation the people that are are have stayed on this staycation to the past two years are selling their caravans and can't wait to get away to the sun yeah i see there's something that you love or you hate and that's right it's an interesting point you might because obviously you couldn't get a campervan or a caravan during lockdown because people bought them up you feel uh you you feel that they're going to exit the market again and the likes of yourselves who are loyal staycationers and i know everyone doesn't like that phrase uh user are left uh with with the expense and it's going to take the industry a while to realize that the market they think is there is no longer there well i'll put it to you this way and i did put it to the the site manager that uh next year there'll be a lot of empty spaces and uh and that people that have been driven away because of the prices caravaners mobile homers are not going to come back because of the prices and you know okay there's a certain amount of has to go on for the increase on your electricity or water we know that but that was always done like a 50 euro a year kind of thing you know but this pre-booking now as well that you pre-book and you have to pay up front before you get there that's a new thing isn't that's totally new and some of the sites other sites yes definitely but there are sites that you didn't have to to book now the m sites are you're having to book so there's going to be enough a lot of empty spaces and i mean if you look and don't either anywhere else all you can see is caravans trailers trailer tents everything for sale tents that i've only been used but only used this last two years yeah yeah you know fake tents that are costing over 12 14 1500 euro be very interesting to see how it plays out through the as we head into the summer months but it's we're not at the stage yet though where it would sicken you to the point to say well stop it you've ruined what i like about holidaying at home i'm going to try something else um i put it this way i'm giving it this season right interesting you know yeah but uh um uh to holiday abroad is kind of not something for for for us like but uh the if you think on a crate like people that are caravaners and mobile homers and tenter don't really care about the weller right yes but because people can get away to this on this right we're going to go here so the greedy uh people of Ireland who own these campsites yeah the same as the hotel heirs have said right with these day casters now look what happened when we were down they brought us up they're going to stay there they're not going to stay there you're going to stand up and go back to this one all right kevin listen i have to yeah okay i get you kevin listen good points well made thank you very much indeed that's where we have to leave it on the show we'll be back with you tomorrow morning at nine a.m stay tuned john bresnan's coming up around the northwest after uh 12 o'clock and then kevin is in for david on jive time have a great day the nine toning show with the city


Hi, everybody. So tonight we're back to talk about the second half of our immune system conversation, and we're going to look at the acquired immune response. In the last lecture, we did innate immunity, and these were responses to foreign invaders or pathogens or antigens that were very generalized responses. The acquired immune response is very specific. It's very slow. I mean, it takes a while to ramp this thing up. Once we ramp it up, it's not messing around, and we can do some serious damage with the acquired immune response, but it does take us a while to do it. The acquired immune response has memory. It remembers if it has been exposed to a pathogen, a specific pathogen before, and because of that, you often actually don't get a condition twice. Sometimes the pathogen will mutate, and so you think you're getting a cold again and again. This is the same cold. I thought I can't get the same disease twice, but the fact is it's mutated and it's a different cold. So really, every cold you've ever gotten is a different critter that is invading you because you are saving up information about all the pathogens that have infected you and you are ready to respond with the acquired immune response quickly and efficiently if you get infected again. The acquired immune response is mediated by lymphocytes. Now, we had one flavor of lymphocyte in the innate immune response, and that was the natural killer cells, but those guys make up just 2% of all lymphocytes, and everybody else is involved in acquired. All the other lymphocytes are involved in the acquired immune response. So our two main, we actually have two, just like we had two categories of immune system acquired and innate, we have two categories of acquired immunity. We have the humoral immune response and we have the cell mediated immune response, and these are like branches of acquired immunity. They have things in common. Ultimately, I actually have that homeostasis is the last item on our list, but I think I'm going to add one more because I think we're going to have to have one place where we like go through the whole thing and do a big, huge review of the whole process so we can compare and contrast these two systems effectively. So the first thing that we're going to do is we're going to look at three sections, three factors that where we're going to look at are two branches side by side. So we're going to look at the lymphocytes and we're going to compare the lymphocytes that are involved in the humoral immune response and the lymphocytes that are involved in the cell mediated response. Then we're going to look at how the lymphocytes are educated, how they go through their maturation process. They do go to school and not very many of them graduate. So we'll compare and contrast the way that our two types of lymphocytes are sent to school. And then we have to talk about MHC again. In the last lecture, we talked about how it was present on almost all cells except for red blood cells. In this section, we're going to talk about the role that MHC2 carrying cells play in this whole process and then we'll dive in. After we've got all those like general tools, then we'll dive in and look at each branch individually. I'd like to probably do a summary of all of it and then we'll look at how the immune system relates to homeostasis. So it's a big dense amount of content and why don't we get started then? All right.
