It brings us to our very first question. To which doors does D221 apply? D221 operation of latch. It's the provision which is trying to prevent this sort of thing from happening. The actual question that came to us came in for an office building, a class 5 building. But of course, D221 applies to class 2 to 9 buildings. But we'll look through this question with an office building in mind. Now, the fellow who brought this question to us, he was sure that it applied to the actual exit, operation of latch, the lever handle, or the crash bar, to the actual exit. But he had a bit of confusion when applying it to other rooms and spaces in an office. So that's what we're going to work through now. D221 app is the provision which ensures that certain latches are quickly and easily operated. And the intent is, of course, that we don't want evacuation to be slowed down by a door which is locked or hard to unlatch. So we get that single downward action or the pushing action which leads to our lever or crash. Here's a typical office layout. We've got our fire-isolated exit in the top left, fire-isolated stair, connected to a fire-isolated passageway. So in combination, these are an exit which lead down to the side. It could be that we're landlocked either side and have to get our exits out the front. We've got this front door to reception, which is of interest. And the door leading into that is corridor. Through the middle, we've got this interesting door here. I've done a lot of work myself on secure government buildings. And you get these corridor doors like this one, usually going from one security zone to another. So that one's of particular interest there when we're thinking about operation of latch. We've also got various rooms off that corridor. The lunchroom offices, the open-plan office, sanitary compartments, which doors does D221 apply? Well, the doors subject to this provision are those. This is D221A. The doors subject to this provision are those which are in a required exit, secondly, forming part of a required exit, or in the path of travel to a required exit. We've got some defined terms which bring some meaning to these statements. The first is required. That's something which you need to meet a dean to satisfy or performance requirement. The second defined term is exit. So note that required and exit isn't one defined term. They're two separate ones. Required, something you need to meet the BCA. Exit can be a number of things. In fact, it could be something in isolation or combination. Have a look under exit there. It could be under AI, an internal or external stairway. Doesn't have to be fire-isolated. Just has to get you outside. Can include a ramp. It doesn't have to be fire-isolated either. We have our fire-isolated passageway, like in our example, and a door. So that's I4 there. A doorway opening to road or open space. We've also got the horizontal exit under B, which is where, like in hospitals, places like that, where you go from one fire compartment to another in accordance with D111. But note that an exit can include any of those things, either alone or in combination. So with that in mind, to which doors does D221 apply to? We're looking for doors in a required exit, and we're also looking for doors which form part of a required exit. That's these ones. They're pretty easy to identify because they're all doors which have something to do with an exit. We've got the door leading into the fire-isolated passageway, which gets us straight into the exit there. We've got a door in between the stair and the passage. That's a door in a required exit, isn't it? We've got the door leading directly outside, and our reception door here, if it is a required exit, for instance, if we've got more than the distances specified in D1.4 from this particular exit into the fire-isolated passageway and the reception door, that could be a required exit, and therefore would be caught by D221. There's one other type of door that we mentioned earlier that's caught by D221, and that's the door which is in the path of travel to a required exit. Now, this is the door which takes a bit of thought. The first two are easy because they're directly associated with an exit, but what's in the path of travel to a required exit? And path of travel to a required exit, it's not defined, but it is just that. A path of travel is to a required exit is wherever you walk across on this floor plate to get into the exit. The exit, of course, being this fire-isolated passageway and steering combination. Note that the stair, this is the ground floor. There could be levels above which lead into the stair, but from anywhere on the floor plate, which isn't in an exit, if you have to, that contains your path of travel to get there. So it's gonna catch this door, isn't it? This is a door which is catching a lot of space. We've got our open-plane office, some offices here, could be our secure door, and it leads directly to this exit at the rear here. Catching a lot of space, it makes sense, doesn't it, that this door is in the path of travel to a required exit and therefore would need to be easily operated in accordance with D-221. But it also includes these ones. These are doors which are in the path of travel to a required exit, simply where you need to walk through to get there. There are a number of concessions or exemptions for D-221A. D-221A sets the requirement and then we get our concession starting at B. And that includes B-1, so the Sanctuary Compartments. They don't need to have the D-221 compliance. There's a few others there, but I wanna draw our attention to B2D, a space which is otherwise inaccessible to persons at all times when the door is locked. Now, your boss's office, it could be said, is that said to be a space which is inaccessible to persons when the door is locked? So your boss goes out for lunch, locks the door behind him. Is that a space which is inaccessible to persons when the door is locked? Here's what we say in the guide. We're providing exception to restricted access spaces and rooms otherwise inaccessible to people at all times, such as cleaners rooms and the like. So what we're trying to get at with B2D, we're trying to capture spaces which are unoccupied. It could be the cleaners room, it could be a small server room or a small store room. Places like that which are exempted, not the boss's office, because the boss is offered, I don't know, my boss works hard, he's in his office right now. It could be that your boss's office isn't normally occupied, but we're trying to capture those spaces which aren't normally occupied. But when applying D221, we must be aware that that's not the only provision which is about latch operation. It could be that you might have a door which is exempted from complying with D221, but might have to comply with something like D3.1 which controls latch operation in the corns with 14, 28.1, 2009. But to answer our question, except for the doors to the bathrooms and also to the cleaners room, all the doors here are subject to D221. I do want to point out the cleaners room, we're talking about a cleaners room which is a store room. I had a question in another city and basically it was said, put to me, don't you like cleaners? What's wrong with cleaners? You like your boss, but you don't like your cleaners. You're not letting them get out. No, no, if that was a cleaners lunch room, certainly that's a space which is occupied and therefore would need to comply. But the cleaners room, which is storing simply and not normally occupied, enjoys the concession found in D221B. I will open this up for discussion, but I do want to get started.


For one, on odd levels, its t-pin head can infiltrate your dreams while you're sleeping and pretty much force you into an eternal sleep so he can eat your body where you lay. But believe it or not, there is a worse fate than that, and it's if you fall asleep near a piece of paper inside the back rooms. It's said that if you do so, there's a chance that you will fall into the plane of existence inside of that paper and be forced to exist as a doodle stick figure unless you can find your way out. This is known as Phenomenon 8, and it's scary, but also kinda funny, but also literally horrifying.  So unless you wanna end up on a piece of paper forever, you just can't sleep, I guess. Good luck!


Hey guys, welcome to ssiritech. So, see in this side and this is continuation of SSIS tutorial. So, today we are going to discuss about union all transformation and what are the differences between union all and what is transformation. So, let's start with union all. So, what is union all transformation? So, union all transformation in SSIS is used to combine data from multiple sources and that source could be excel files, flat files or anything else or multiple sequence over tables and produce one output that could be stored in your destination table. Next is union all transformation doesn't follow any specific order while merging the data and sorting into all this. So, when we mainly use union all transformation, if the transformation input is not sorted as we have discussed in our last video and we have seen that much transformation needs data sorted before using it. Next is combined output doesn't need to be sorted and next is when we are having more than two inputs then we cannot use much transformation we have to use the union all transformation. So, these are the cases where we need to use our union all transformation. This is our case study as we can see we have three input seats first sheet contain the information of male, second female and third unknown. So, by using union all transformation we want to merge data between three sheets and then we want to load in our only DB destination. So, let's have a look of excel seats. So, this is our female employee seat as we can see it has four columns, employee ID, name, gender and sample. Next is for male employee again we are having same number of columns now unknown employee as we can see we have employee ID, name, gender and sample. So, all three seats contain same number of columns and data types are also same as you can see in case of employee ID we have integer in case of name we have string data in case of gender again we have string data and in case of cell V we have integer data. Now, let's have a look of our table where we want to load the data. So, this is our table as we can see it has employee ID, name, gender and sample. So, it has total four columns. So, now I am going to SSDT to implement this package. So, here I want to create one more package. So, right click on this SSIS package and new SSIS package. Then I want to rename this package with union all. This is our union all. Now, we have to use data flow task inside the control panel. So, let's drag and drop this data flow task then double click on this data flow task. Once we double click on this data flow task then it will move to data flow panel. Inside this data flow panel we have to configure our source transformation and destination. As discussed we have excel file. So, we have to use excel source. Let's drag and drop three excel source first is for male then female and then and rename this with male rename this with female and this is for unknown. So, we can rename it unknown. So, I want to set up our source for male. So, double click on this male then as we can see excel source editor window has been opened. So, click on new. So, here we need to select our excel file path.  So, first row has column names. We are okay with it. Click on auto. Here we need to select our seat where data is available. So, data is available in our seat one. So, we have to select seat one then go to one column inside this column. We want all the volume. So, you can click on okay. So, as you can see error has gone. Now, double click on this female employee. Now, we need to select our female employee seat. So, this is our female employee seat. Click on okay. Now, here we need to select our excel file. So, seat one contains the data in columns click on okay. Now, we need to configure for unknown. Here we can click on new then select our unknown employee seat and click on okay. Here again we need to select our seat. So, seat one contains the information. So, we need to select seat three. Then go to one columns inside this column as we can see employee ID name, gender and cycle. So, we can click on okay. So, we have done our source. Now, we need to configure our transformation. So, our transformation is union all transformation. So, we can use union all. Drag and drop this union all transformation. Then we need to connect with male then female and then unknown. Now, double click on this union all. As we can see output column names by ID name, gender and cycle. Union all column then union all two then union all three. So, we are getting the inputs. Now, we need to set up our destination. So, our destination is across our table. So, we have to use LEDB destination. We can drag and drop this LEDB destination and connect with union all. Then double click on this LEDB destination. Here we need to set up our LEDB correction manager. So, click on new. Once we click on new, then we can see we have made the connection. So, I am going to use that one. Here we need to select our table. So, our table name is union all table. So, we can select union all table. Now, go to on mapping. So, inside this mapping, nothing succeed. So, we need to click on OK. Once we click on OK, then go to on SSMS. Now, I am going to execute. Then we can see initially we don't have any data. Now, I am going to execute these factors. Then we can see 19,951 rows should be inserted in our table. Now, go to on SSMS and execute our selected data. 19,951 records have been inserted successfully. So, next is what are the differences between union all and merge transformation. So, first is union all. So, data should be sorted order before applying merge transformation. In case of union all transformation, there is no need to be sorted data before applying union all transformation. Next is output data could be sorted in case of merge transformation. And output data will not be sorted in case of union all transformation. Next is as we have discussed, merge transformation can accept only two inputs. And in case of union all transformation, we can use more than two inputs. Next is it's bad for performance because it accept only sorted data. And in case of union all transformation, it's good for the performance as compared to merge transformation because there is no need to be sorted input. So, thank you so much for watching this video.

See, um, do you see the Tesla? I do. Yes. Yes. Okay. So I just thought I just a quick quick five minute video here I just want to check in on you what you did with this trade. I Took it out at 275. Okay. Great. So how much did you end up? It was almost a hundred percent turnaround I don't know what what exactly what did you actually risk and what did you where'd you get out? Did you get out? I mean close to that or? Well, not for me really. I made a profit of 278 and the cost was 500. I don't where did you buy it? What did you pay for it? My price was Should have been around for something That's five.  I mean but either way you made money. So that I mean that was good enough It was more than 50% turnaround I just I just wanted to do a quick video and made sure you you did this right But I mean obviously if you had risked a thousand, you know, you would have made probably six seven hundred bucks Yes, if I entered the right price, yes, well, I mean either way if you would risk more I'm saying you would have made more Well, yes, if I if I risked a thousand, I would have made four hundred in the same situation. Yes, so, you know Next time you you had almost killed it. You didn't kill it.  I'm glad you didn't kill it No, no, I didn't intend killing it. I didn't intend holding it. I wasn't intending to kill it I know but I thought your money management rule is now kill it at 50% or is it not? Well, this is a problem It is a problem and that's why I'm talking to you for a couple minutes because this worked out and I'm really glad it worked out for you, but You'd really didn't follow the rule that you set for yourself and so this is the problem I know I understand Take the spy as a classic example. I killed like yesterday 60% down. I killed it It turned It did everything it should have done and it went down today.  I mean that's negligible. I'm just saying you can't let these things run completely against you if that's not your plan And this did not run completely against you.  I'm saying either way have to be consistent and see right here with these two examples You were not you were not consistent. I know I have a problem in being consistent here So what are you gonna do about it? There's nothing consistent in the market, is there? But if that has nothing to do with your choices To be honest with you I think the market's been very consistent as far as the plays that we do for gaps There's there's been the gaps are consistent You're just looking at the overall market and trying to time things with the market But if you've got a good gap if you've got a weak stock if you've got a strong stock You don't need the market to go with it and you know that anyways you feel better about that That's true Sometimes the market helps along or short depending where it's going But the market's been a challenging read this year and it's been very volatile And you're not going to get enough from that and you can't use the market And if you're trying to use the market for every overnight trade that you're taking of the options Then you're going to have a crappy year No, no, I'm not trying to use it as a Don't worry about it. I'm just using it to trade Trade a position. That's it. No only if you're doing the market Not looking at other stocks at all with it. I mean, where do you see it going at the moment? Because at the moment it looks very Undecided doesn't it? No it doesn't it doesn't look undecided at all to me, but that's not the point You should we haven't dropped today, haven't we? What does that have to do with anything? We really don't even look like we're moving so that doesn't mean that we're strong No, that doesn't but we're in an option. We have time against us. So at the same time We have to take that into consideration. It doesn't matter. You're not in the train. It doesn't matter. You killed it It's too late. This is over. You're done. You killed it. It's over. The trade is over Yeah, but I'm in the queues as well I mean But the point i'm trying to make is here though Your money management should be consistent for taking the profits Or your money management and or it should be consistent for if the if the trade is down What are you going to do and you're not consistent? So this was two two trades between spy and tesla that you did not manage consistently This is an ongoing problem for you. What are you going to do about it? But I don't understand what you mean. I didn't manage.  So therefore you're not consistent So but what do I do because obviously the both worked the both worked So then what should you have so then you you tell me the answer is clear Unless you you say across the board, I'm going to hold them until they go bust Or you say I'm going to look at each individual situation. No, you're not good enough to do that and that's the problem You think you are and that's why you're screwing up and every time you look at something You have conviction lose conviction have conviction lose conviction take too much of a trade Take too much risk add to the trades kill the trades. You're not good enough to do that I'm barely good enough to do that.   I'm not saying but I'm not saying to kill it then I think then if you really are struggling with this and hold everyone hold everyone either the ones that work Or we're going to work and the ones that go bus go bus Unfortunately, unfortunately this position I am now I have to be picky I cannot just say I'm going to let them all run because there are some That's Spotify. I mean that was one. I mean it doesn't matter Spotify you screwed up that trade if you let it ran was positive You know, it was hardly positive for many What do you mean hardly positive the trade was positive? What do you mean hardly? It's either positive or not positive.  It's either red or it's green What do you mean hardly positive? There's no hardly This is where it goes back to the old old days where you have to make a certain amount of money If you're if you're in a position where you have to book green green green green green Why are you complaining if you risk $500 and this is up to 50 or whatever it was? I don't even know.  You took the trade. You killed it Then it went on to work. Then you retook it You lost double in this and I can't even believe you brought this up. This was 100% your fault. Can't you see that? Yes, I can see that that's a that's a good example No, this trade didn't go on to be a huge winner. That's true. That's absolutely right But to say that it was bust is wrong. It was green now whether whether you get out of it or not I mean what you when you're killing the trade you can determine what you're doing with trades also when you're up You don't have to hold every one forever if you're up say you're up at a trade And spot you're down it down at rallies. This is exactly how this trade played out And I'm just I just want to go over this really quickly and then I I don't have a lot of time today this rallied I called the trade it was it was down. It was down. It was down. No, no, no, it was over here It was down trade was down gap rallied Some people killed it. Some people hold on to it. You were down more than 50% on this day. You killed it I think this day. Yeah, so you should have held it. It's another one. I know but that's the point I'm trying to make so anyways, you killed it Then it fell red then it fell into itself and then here's the date was positive into here and it had It looked great. It looked amazing and looked great But I'm saying you could have gotten out of some of this half the trade here positive Whatever it was who cares and then you could have held the rest for a bigger move because by the time you realize into the Close here that this puppy isn't going to break Down any more than 148 and this got through the strike. Okay, so it got to the strike It got to the first target again. We talked about this in the thing Sometimes I'll call the target with a target might be 20% turn around. It might be 50% turn around It might be 200% turn around. I don't know so you can't you don't know because you don't if this had gone the day The first day it would have been way more than that at the strike.  So you don't you don't know okay So the point is though when it gets to this target, you can't ignore it You could have gotten out of some of the position there Whatever it was it was profit you you aired totally in this because you retook the trade on this day here Which was a gap up and there was no reason to do that You only did it because I said it was lower and it is lower look But there this was a poor entry here and you messed this up anyways But the point is though that you don't have to hold every one 100% Up you could say i'm going to hold every trade till they get positive Then once they start to get positive and go to the first number Whatever day that happens to be the first day the second day week into the trade you Then look at the market then you look at the trade then you look at the time of the day Then you look at how many days you have left and you say you know what? I'm going to get out of this with half of my position Now to get green and you also take off half your risk And then you let the rest ride for a bigger target if it goes it goes if it doesn't you don't end up down in the trade Yes What's wrong with doing that? No, there's there's nothing wrong with doing that. I mean providing obviously you've got a sufficient move on the first move To cut it I was actually out of the room at the time it fell like a brick But I mean I was watching it glanced at my phone and saw it and then came back to mine But I mean what if this had happened today? And it would have gotten to the strike gotten through the strike. It would have been worth less Do you know what i'm saying? Like would you not have gotten out for things that you should not be? I don't know if that makes any sense It goes to a point. Yes, you're not being strict with your money management But then you're being strict with the numbers and saying come hell or high water This is got to get to the number and be a certain percentage or come hell or high water I'm not getting out of it You could take some out and you could let the rest ride and you could let every trade try to work And a lot of them aren't working But you've got to stop doing ads you got to stop killing them or retaking them. That's dangerous And I've been calling more trades So I think lower your expectation that everyone's going to be huge like apple Because not everyone will but it doesn't mean it's not money if you mean 280 bucks on this today Take it take it and run to the bank. It's friday. That's great Is it slower probably but it's 280 dollars you can use the money for that and then the money you risked this to do the new trade $200 yes or whatever 250 cents it doesn't matter. It's the point. It's profit But listen, that's why I took it out. I signed it 274 It bounced that little bit. I thought no, I'm not leaving that because yes It probably will fall next week on monday, but then it will bounce I'm sure it will after a day like today. Well, I don't think it's going to but it doesn't matter. The point is it was a good solid trade Yes, it was it was okay No, it was a good solid trade. It's a good solid trade. You have to look at these trades and say This was a good solid trade I'm glad I hung on to it But I'm saying to you you killed the spy and the spy didn't do anything wrong either and was down as much as this And you killed that and that would that's going to be fine too because I think the market falls next week I mean, but you know bottom line is that you need to be consistent with your money management Which is your risk and how long you're holding the trades? I don't have a problem with you holding everyone in this crazy market Maybe you should maybe everybody should but that doesn't mean you're going to hold everyone to a big target Because some of them go to bigger targets and some of them don't and when they're up money Like even spot was you don't want to suffer through the trade Have it be up and then it doesn't go to a big number and then you could have made money Whether it was 200 150 350 whatever do you understand what I'm saying? Yes, but I didn't think this spot was moving further. So did I so did I but it didn't it didn't it didn't But what do you do? Well, you know, you just But it is it's going to look profit about 50 dollars I mean, what am I supposed to do taking out 50 dollars when you're risking fun? That is I know I really I can't talk for an hour today But honestly, I just want to say one more quick quick thing that is a huge problem for you It's a problem for you over the day trades. It's a problem for you with the options trades You look at the money in dollars and cents and you and you do but you did that before when you were risking And you were up thousands of dollars when you were here and you made poor decisions then so you have no excuse You made poor decisions when you have 50 bucks and you made poor decisions when you have four five six seven In options, I rated to them to a loss If I if I have a loss, I take a full loss or a 50% loss, right? Okay. If I want 50 dollars 50 dollars In comparison with a loss It just doesn't equate.     Oh, it's only 80 bucks.  That's what I am I am but at the end of the day I have to equate to what my costs are And I need to be on the right side. This is why I can only take one trade The other day I killed that trade early because there was a possibility it was going to go through. Yes I did lose x amount But at the same time I couldn't take another trade which you hide up on the screen which you were going to do In the end it didn't work. Anyway, but at the same time for me I could do the second trade Again, that's an excuse an excuse in general Whenever you're up a lot when you were trading more size. It wasn't enough now that you're trading less size. It's still not enough I don't know you if you have a million dollars in the bank. Will it be enough then probably not? You know, I mean no That's not right. It would it would be I'm just looking at the proportion One winner over a loss. That's all I'm looking at You're not looking at it, right?   I think three or four Market trades I've called so I you know, I mean you are screwing up trades yourself by making decisions on what you think You know, you're not good enough to know that stuff Go with the gap stop reading too much into it get up in the morning rate the gap rate the tesla gaps See if it rates good if it rates good and hold the areas where I taught you stay with the trade Everyone in the room was panicking about this. I bet more than half the people killed this sucker I bet more than half to be able to kill this sucker I wasn't panicking at all. No, I know I wasn't I was willing to hold that definitely No, people were panicking yesterday at this point in the room. It was in the morning when the stock was green It was yesterday here Yeah, it's good to be isn't it? I mean It's got to be yeah, it's been I mean look at it. It's been doing nothing It only made a fraction new high yesterday But that was nothing was it on this stock? No, no, but I'm saying you're making so you made a good decision on this one But you made a bad decision on the spy you're making this you should just rate the gap and go with it and have your money management You're over-complicating you're not good enough to make those decisions based on intuition Which is what you're trying to do and I'm telling you you got to have money manager rules that are not black and white Where it's 50 or 58 it just can't be you're going to hold everyone or not hold everyone It has to be somewhat consistent with that and the risk and so as far as that goes You're not being consistent and you have to do it you just can't make decisions based on intuition looking at the charts You're not good enough and that's no slight on you. It's it's just lack of experience and I don't think really anyone should be doing that I think you get up and you work at the gap and you rate the gap and you know It shouldn't go over a certain number like what will be the number that shouldn't go over and I'd say it's not going to work If this stock would have rallied up to 315 320 would have said kill the trade, but it was nowhere near that So there's certain levels where you say well, this is clearly not working or whatever the case may be But either way that wasn't the case here It's not the case with the market if you're going to hold every trade 100% great If you're going to kill every trade around 50% great But you're not consistent with what you're doing and stop trying to make decisions based on intuition If you get to that point five years from now where you can do it great But you won't until you stop making mistakes and your mistakes are that you're reading too much into things You're getting scared about the money And I honestly don't think you have enough respect for money for whatever amount that it is And I think that was a problem with you when you're up a lot And I think it's a problem with you now when you're taking less size and until you resolve that problem I don't respect the money. I do No, you don't you said well it was only $50 I was up in spot So instead of making 50 you lost you lost what six seven 800 are there because you did it twice What did you lose in spot? I don't know. I don't know, but it was more than $50 It's done trade. I've written it off, but I mean You know, I mean this last time was $300. So yeah, you would have you decided To lose money in this rather than make $50 That's crazy. That's crazy that I like the setup on the chart And it was going to continue and I was willing to risk the amount that I risked Okay, then you should have done the original trade. No, but you should have done the original trade Then why did you kill the original trade? The original trade would have been profitable more than 50 bucks on the second of the third day down here So you did it at a terrible place So you were only ever up 50 because you're up a little bit of money into the second day in here on five nine You said to me to cut them early. So I cut it early No, I said choose a side 50% or 100% you said you're going to do 50% Did it it failed it failed because it then continued it went in the right direction. No, you are not being consistent If you're going to kill it, how am I going to be consistent then in that scenario when it pulls back And then went then then I've got the task then of re-entering again Well, you shouldn't have re-entered it. I'm ready to review this. There was no re-entry here at all You see you could have looked at it and said, ah it hit the top of that green bar It hit that and then it turned and then it fell That is nothing that I taught you No, but it's resistance, isn't it? If you think that shorting resistance is going to make you money consistently in the market, you're loony tune You know that's not true No, I don't I'm not saying that Why do you think it re-set up? I'm talking about me in a position. I'm in a position where it's It's just gone over. It's over the 50% mark And it goes out and it just does not go over that bar Because once it goes over that bar, there's a strong possibility I don't even know what bar you're talking about. You killed the trade the first day you took it I don't know what you're talking about the third. It was on the third You killed the trade this day. So then what's your point? It went the red bar went it went to the what red bar the red bar was in the fourth You killed the trade and took the trade in the third. You wouldn't have known any of that. Yes Yes, but what I'm trying to say is I killed the trade when it pulled back on the fourth But it stopped at the top of the bar the previous day's bar Okay, first things first. Did you kill the trade on five three or five four? On the following day it must have been the Cranky, which you might what dates am I looking here? Yeah, it was the fourth. It was the following day. I took it on the previous day I then it then pulled in on the following day because I wouldn't kill it on the same day That's when there was a problem. No clue what you're saying. Oh, sorry. No. No, I don't know. I'm getting it wrong myself No, I um Yeah, it's been a long day. Um It was on the yeah, I did take it on the same day It pulled back on the same day and then killed it on the same day. It went. I know. I know that's what you did The top of the bar stopped turned and then fell and then what's your point? My point is that if I held it If I held it a little bit longer Uh-huh, but this is the problem that I have isn't it where I'm I'm shackled to this 50% mark No, you could you can hold every trade to 100% if you want, but then you're doing it with every trade Do it if you want to yes, but there's a problem.  So I don't know what you're worried about How many trades are positive that you have gotten out of negative? Here's one example You took two losses in a trade that was positive That's I'm going to go back and look at the exact if you'd done it the exact day and held it not entered the day that you did Where you're only up 50 bucks that one dinky little day it ran down on the night But if you'd done the trade original trade and held it and got out at least some in the first drop What the price would have been anyways the point is that it doesn't matter what you do I'm calling plenty of positive trades and some of them even run to big numbers And tests of my two but because of the way that you're trading lately I'm glad that you got out the point is it doesn't matter. I call plenty of positive trades. You are messing them up Yes, you're probably right My entry definitely could be better like walmart today. I took the entry and then it pulled all the way back I could have got Better much better entry than I did so what this has not really gone yet You're again, you're looking you're squeezing like every squeeze a squeeze Out of this this the difference between the high and the low on the option chain in this is negligible today The trade hasn't really gone yet. You enter it today. You got to give it a chance to work It's going to continue to drop since the failure in the earnings yesterday this stock gap down Whether you bought it today and you could have paid less by another 30 40 50 cents It's negligible. It doesn't matter. Don't you see it doesn't matter I I look at also look at the potential of something Retracing within to itself. I mean yesterday's banner was enormous So there's going to be some kind of pullback. It hasn't done that wrong. That is nothing. I taught you Nothing again. I taught you I know but it comes into the equation of things. That's why you're screwing out.  I bet you 100 bucks I'll bet you a dinner at the supporter house here in new york next time you're in town This will not retrace This isn't going to go anywhere into the bar from yesterday. I'll bet you a dinner at porter house. It ain't going to happen Right All right, then what you don't think this is going to pull back on No No, no It's dropping right now. It's it's done Well, that will be very good and that will be fantastic I I do. I mean, I think it will be great the problem There's no problem and I have no I think my interest could be better definitely. I understand that But if I get in at a more expensive price Then if I'm cutting it at 50% or if you're holding out you are in sweating, aren't you? Why are you sweating if you risk $500 and you're okay with that? You shouldn't be sweating if you risk 10 grand and you can't afford it Then you'll be sweating. You shouldn't be sweating No, no, I'm talking about 50% here. If you if I'm holding Then don't do it. Then hold every trade 100% change change. What are you doing? Huh? There's no problem. Is there if I'm holding it if I'm holding it for the 100% Yeah, it doesn't that's it where it goes. Does it it can bounce around? That's right. Then that's right. Just let the trade play out watch it every day get out when it starts to go But 50% as I've said before Is a problem because you don't do it change what you're doing It can pull back If you say the word pull back one more time, I'm going to scream bloody murder You're doing things that you shouldn't be doing spot is a great example of this an amazing example of this By the way, the reason I had on this chart is playing out exactly as planned Although it's taking a little bit longer here to go. It's just a weak leg. That's the problem Yeah, but I mean the trade actually still was positive But you just didn't get out of it right because of the fact that you took it and killed it and took it Killed it, but either way This probably really just wasn't out long enough But the point though even still is that you're doing stuff that I didn't taught you you want to continue to do that Go ahead. No, no, no, I am doing things that you taught me No, you're doing them in combination I do have other information which is in my head and it's impossible to delete it It is well I think you should because it's screwing you up because Walmart isn't pulling back And if you are going to do something done with this trade and screw this one up Then you're going to have another loss just like you did with the spot I'm not I'm only go direction with this Simple as that you can't pick and choose the ones to say well, I think I'll follow it in this one But I won't follow it on the next three. I mean this that's lack of consistency too I I got to go But I think you got to decide if you're not okay with 50% that do 100% for that You're doing it on everyone everyone and it doesn't mean you're holding every trade to 100% turn around either It means that you're holding every trade you start to go positive and then you're timing it with the market How much time you left in the option time of the day of the bar? Melissa yet again How much is positive? 10 bucks Did you just hear what what I said? I'm risking 500. I'm going to use this as an example I'm going to use there is your is it's not black and white say tesla started to drop Here's where we were in the morning So the day started out here Tesla open started to fall broke Broke down Tesla was going red in the correct direction of the option So you have a big nice fat bar here. Hi the bar those first 15 minutes of the day was 284 50 This is a two dollar bar in the first 15 minutes. This wasn't earnings. It wasn't new It was gapping down on the market the charts week. Anyway, so it was a news gap from a couple days ago Should I say okay? Let's see if this puppy can get going you watch it watch it watch it It continues to make new lows you watch it watch it watch it 10 o'clock reversal time. Also, you're watching the market Okay, well the market isn't rallying tesla's still falling everything looks good. You watched it into 10 o'clock It's still falling everything looks good. There's no hard and fast rule now. You're like, okay Gosh, we're getting a little bit closer. We broke 280. Can we get further you watch the trade? You want to watch the train and as you're watching the train and it's not lifting at all I mean, here's the 15 minute chart on tesla for today How many green bars are in the 15 minute chart of tesla? There isn't one decent green bar in the 15 minute chart of tesla until the low of the day at 12 15 This was not hard to follow through you will watch trades and you will follow through and as it's coming down You're up money. You this is this is not an exact science. You must watch the chart move just like we do in the big trade I did I watched it happen momentum Then that's what you do. That's what you do every time you do anyone at all You don't say x y z amount It's this is not an exact science. You follow it through the chart. Yes, you work the chart what followed the chart That's why I've been saying a lot of money The money seconds the chart isn't it the month the chart the money is important And I don't think you think it's important enough because sometimes you're up and you don't get out enough And sometimes you do the opposite and I and I mean it's really just that is a serious Problem with you and even if you start to be consistent with your money management That is a problem that you must resolve and it's a problem that I think it's it's it's ironic It's ironic that it was you had the same issue as you were here as you do right now And the amount of money had no difference and that's why I know if you had a million dollars in your account You would do the exact Same thing and the market's trying to teach you a lesson and so am I you will continue the exact same behavior that is toxic to your trading results Until you fix it if you if you took one share of every trade you took for everything You would have the same problem as if you took a million until you fix this problem And it's toxic to your trading and it's all in your head You've got to respect the money and you have to be normal about it and be grateful for every money that you make You chose to lose in spot and screw up that trade rather than get out with 50 bucks or 100 bucks or whatever it was That is the kind of thing that is toxic to your trading You did a good job with this. Let's leave it here.  The next one is the cues. The next one is walmart. This will not pull back You're gonna have a nice trade here Now if it goes down and drops down to 82 by monday and you're not up 100 If you're up 70 if it looks like it's gonna go. What are you gonna do? I mean, these are all the things that you need to know when we're talking about if you're gonna hold these trades You need to know because this could go down to 82 and bounce there, but you'll be up You'll be up. I don't know what you'll be up, but you'll be up, but again To look at the number of days that this is this has been going So to understand Anything at all, that's nothing that I taught you again something could drop That is so ridiculous and that is nothing that I taught you either you are doing things that I didn't teach you And in fact, you're convincing me that no one can be successful unless they do just what I do and nothing else You're convincing me of that although I never knew that before but all this stuff that you're doing that is messing up All of my amazing gap calls is convincing me that you can't do what I do and anything else Here's a perfect example This trade here, I call this a 100 million times last year This never pulled back. This had a million red days. This could the things can keep going That's absolutely not true. It did pull back several days, didn't it? It goes in waves the Elliott wave Impulsive, correct? Oh my god. All right. I gotta go because you're talking about Elliott waves down. You're just gonna I'm really There you go, right Okay, I hope I helped you with something today though. Seriously Yes, you did. Thank you. You did great with tesla Right. Thank you. Are you going to the royal wedding tomorrow? I am certainly watching it Not going to go to the bars or whatever all the people are celebrating and acting crazy No, I'm not that I'm not that near So it's going to be tv. All right. We'll have a good day You too. Okay. Bye. Bye. Bye. Take care. Bye


Welcome to the Knuckleheads of Liberty.  Now, I am pro law enforcement. If they have to do their job, I expect them to do it. But that killing of that woman have not been investigated, have not been properly investigated.  Unarmed black men have been killed by the police all over America. We love to talk about this, but this was an unarmed white woman, so I guess her life don't matter.  We don't even know that. Well, that was... Oh, go ahead. They did decide that there was no wrongdoing by that guy, even though that guy has a very shady record of his ability to utilize a firearm and his decision-making process, too, in the past. So he has no, you know, white knight shining armor, that's for sure. Well, that was the irony of ironies of the whole thing, because the entire summer that the message had been the police overuse of force. And then to have this whole thing wind up flipping on a dime where suddenly the Democrats were calling police overuse of force in the case of shooting unarmed woman, Ashley Babbitt, who was a protester there at the Capitol, suddenly the police were heroic in shooting her. And they were interviewing her, this officer, Berg, saying that, you know, he had saved countless lives and NBC interviewed him and they weren't skeptical or critical of that at all. They just sort of were adoring and, you know, going on. Wasn't she white? Yeah. She was a white woman. And a military veteran as well.  Was the shooting officer, was he black? He was a black guy, yes.   Unarmed. Unarmed. Maybe that's okay. But you flip the whole scenario and it's suddenly a major deal. Is there racism involved there? I'm not sure. Oh, God, there's always racism from the left. You know, but the thing is though, I am not suggesting in any of my comments here that I agree that the riot should have taken place. Those people breach the capital and it was wrong. I just want to be clear about that. However, what I am talking about is the dispensation of justice as we are seeing as it's being played out right now as compared to what happened in the summer of 2020 where there's a lot of things that should be prosecuted. A lot of people should be arrested and many of them should be prosecuted. And up to now we've not seen much of that. There have been a few here and there, but certainly not the kind of numbers we've seen out of the January 6th riots. Well, including two banks burned to the ground close by my house that no one has been arrested for. Burnt to the ground. How do you burn a metal structure down to the ground? But I went by and saw myself. They were flat as a pancake. Jesus Lord. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness always and forever.


Cool, okay, that was quick. I have a lot of slides, but I promise you I'll be done in five minutes because we're gonna time out here. Right, I'm Claudio, so the introduction is done, it's awesome. I'm talking about Terraform. Terraform is a software package. It is a tool that allows you to describe your infrastructure in code. It does not help you say, I mean it supports different infrastructure providers, cloud providers, but it does not allow you to seamlessly switch from one to the other. That's not its purpose, although it can make it easier if you feel like doing that. It's not AWS technology, it's by the guys who also do vagrant in case any of you know that. They have some other stuff as well, it integrates to that stuff. I think a sort of equivalent AWS service would be a cloud formation. I found that a bit more complicated. I don't really have a lot of experience with cloud formation. So the way it works is you create, in your project directory, you create as many files as you feel like you need with a .TF extension. You describe your infrastructure in those and then you run Terraform apply and Terraform will look at what you already have, how your infrastructure looks, how your infrastructure described in your code has changed since the last time you applied and will implement those changes. So for the building blocks, there are variables. You can put them also in Terraform files. You can override them using the command line or you can let's say create environment specific configuration files, say for production, development environments. So you create files and then invoke Terraform apply, referring to a specific configuration file. And then you have the providers, which as you can see, there are many. These provider is a collection of resource types that you can use. I'm gonna talk about the AWS provider, mainly because that seems most relevant right now. But as you can see, you can do digital ocean, module of the sewer, Google cloud, et cetera, all that stuff. So providers usually have a configuration. In that case, for AWS, you can set your access credentials and the region. Here as an example, the region is using a variable. I mean, you can just put it in like that as well. Right, so the AWS provider has a lot of resource types and that would probably be the longest slide of the presentation. I think it's time to like 20 seconds. So these are all the different resources you probably recognize some of them if you've been using AWS. Yeah, it's a lot. Cool, two minutes left. Okay, right, so resources have a type and they have a name, you give them the name, right? And they have arguments, stuff that you specify and attributes in the end, like once they are done, they have attributes, like for example, in an EC2 instance, it will have an IP after it's been created. And you can use these attributes as arguments for other resources. So you have like a dependency graph in the end and took it all up. As an example, this is a EC2 instance, the top one. And on the bottom, this one creates a machine image based on the EC2 instance. So it launches an EC2 instance. Once that instance is up, it will execute the local shell script that provisions the EC2 instance and then will create an AMI from that instance with a specific name. Now you can take this AMI and put it into an AWS launch configuration which are named your frontend and you can see it references the AWS AMI from instance.frontend, references that ID. AMI has already been created. Now it creates the launch configuration. From the launch configuration, you can create an auto scaling group. There's some other dependencies. You see there's an ELB in there for the auto scaling group, for example, and like instance profiles, all that stuff. I didn't put all the code in here because I only have 27 seconds left. And then in the end for this one, for example, this is a nice little auto scaling configuration. In the end you add a record in your DNS that points at the local answer you created. Right, and then you run Terraform Apply and it does that. You can also invalidate a specific resource if you have, if you've done some manual changes and you want to redo it. And... Okay, that's my time. Okay, I'll just finish this one really quick. It stores your state in a local file. You need to keep that around. This is basically... It refers to the instances you configure or the resources you configure. Once it creates them on AWS, it has to know how to address those on AWS. So it basically gets an ID and stores that in your local state. If you want to have multiple people working on the same infrastructure project, you should have that state somewhat centralized. You can use S3, for example, and have that state be stored in a bucket. So you can have multiple people, not at the same time, but at least sort of like, not without, not with some... So the problem is if you commit your state to Git and you have two people doing changes at the same time and then trying to commit it, you can't really merge state files in Git. That won't work. Right, you can do, you can modularize it. That's basically it for that. Any questions? Yeah. Sorry, can we get it out of the way? Yeah, so I would say the main difference is probably that it's not AWS specific. So you can have, say, DigitalOceanDroplet and then create a route 53 PN essential based on that. And then you can create a route 53 PN essential based on that. And then you can create a route 53 PN essential based on that. And then you can create a route 53 PN essential based on that. Based on that, and stuff like that. I think it looks a bit nicer. It's a bit sightlier than CloudFormation as well. Again, if you look at the AVIs for AWS, it's very specific to AWS, which means like, you know, for another service provider like Microsoft Azure. Yeah. They've been having their own APIs. Yes, exactly. That's what I'm saying. It's not an objection there. You can't just call your infrastructure to another Cloud provider, but you can. And well, once you have this definition, they will ideally look somewhat similar. And you can run them simultaneously. You can have an infrastructure of running an old Cloud provider at the same time and have them reference each other. I guess that would be an advantage. Also, probably ease of use. But again, I have limited, limited experience in CloudFormation. I found it a bit too heavy. So does it comes with this one ZLi? Yeah, so that's the thing. It's a Terraform command. If Terraform apply, Terraform plan, all of that sounds very easy. So you can take me to that. Do you have a local instance of... How do you present some resources? So for now, the way I work with it, because it's relatively small scale stuff, I do. So I have a Git repository with my files and I just run Terraform locally. You could say run it through a CI, but then you have to be very sure that what you push through CI actually works. I think I prefer trying it out by myself. Yeah. Any other questions? Any of multiple use projects? Multiple use projects? Like profiles and what's in? Like the access keys and the access keys. Yeah, so you can have multiple... Yeah, so the access keys, you can put it into a file that you don't commit into your repository if you work with multiple people, for example. You don't commit the access keys. Probably save practice anyway. And then you can have your local access keys in your variable file in your local one. Yeah? What's the deeper with other infrastructure support application like Puppet or Chef? But Puppet and Chef are different. They are two provision instances mainly, like servers, right? This is more you describe your infrastructure. You describe, I have like a database server. I have a DNS zone. I have Lambda stuff, API endpoints and everything. That stuff, you can put that into code. Chef, mostly the way I use it is really just your provision one specific server or multiple servers, but not really the infrastructure as a whole. They overlap a little bit because it can do with sort of orchestration, like pointing your application servers at your database server, that kind of stuff. Sure, that's probably the overlap. And also create dependencies like for example, if I'm setting up a list of infrastructure, if one of the servers that I cannot set up or I cannot set up, it would not proceed with the rest of the servers that I want to set up. In this case, you mean? Yeah, for the time, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so if you do something wrong or if it can't finish what it's planning to do, it will just go like, sorry, I can't do this. And then you have to fix this up. That's actually a case where you'll probably want to have a manual look at your AWS account because it is possible sometimes that it creates an EC2 instance and then can't really finish the job and just leaves the instance kind of hanging around without terminating it again. So sometimes you have to clean up after it is done. One last question. Regarding your state changes, because it goes for the desired state, right? Do I have to keep on applying or it detects that the state has changed and automatically reapplies the changes? Yeah, so basically it uses your local state file which is what it saves itself. So where it saves the stuff that it's been doing, it uses that and your code to see what has changed and then applies only the changes it needs. The problem is if you lose your state file, for example, which you also should not really commit into your Git repository. If you lose your state file and you run it again, it will create all the stuff again and then you have it twice on your AWS. So you have to keep the state file around but if you have that, it will only do whatever it needs to do, like only the delta basically. Cool. I mean, it was a bit quick, but did people more or less get what it is about? More or less? I think that doesn't know. Okay, cool. Anything else? Thanks.


how I use stand-up as a keynote speaker. I fell in love with stand-up comedy in the mid-80s, and I'm still a devout fan four decades later. As a teenager, I was drawn to the storytelling, imagery, and rhythm. It was clever. It was controversial. It was honest. It made me laugh. It made me think. It made me question. Stand-up comedians were oratory savants. I would never have guessed that 35 years later, I would find inspiration from George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Steve Martin, and use their unique comedic genius to help me level up as a corporate keynote speaker. Fast forward to Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Louis CK, and Brian Regan, and I continue to consistently study stand-up comedy to this day to help me improve my storytelling, my improvisation, my timing, my tone, and my physicality when I'm on stage. Stand-up comedy has made me a better professional speaker.


Welcome back. It is Friday. That means FNA Friday and today it's going to be about work-life balance productivity and burnout Okay, so on my YouTube comments and sometimes on Instagram and the places where I post people are asking me about my schedule because of the stuff that I post and things that work kind of like what is my day and Also, how do I deal with the workload the amount of work that I have? What if I have burnout how do I deal with burnout? So I thought today I'm going to lump all this together into one big FNA I want to talk about my process my schedule how I go about things and how I do and schedule my day So for me work is not life. There has to be a work-life balance So it's not work equals life. It is really a balance and preferably life is a bit higher up there and has more weight But of course depending on the situation You might not have the luxury to put more emphasis on your life and you have to focus on work Or for me I try really hard to have that balance and really work and then turn my brain off and then enjoy life Because for me the productivity and the risk of having burnout is directly linked to that work-life balance It all depends kind of my schedule. Sometimes I have a lot to do sometimes I don't really have that much to do and mainly I work at ILM Which comes first because that is my day job. That is the main job It pays my bills and is my career and the main focus in terms of work on the side I also teach and depending on schedule. I have a lot of classes. Sometimes it's not that many classes But technically I teach an animation mentor in the city I don't want to point this way but but I teach in the city physical on-site class I also teach an Academy online class at the same time I also teach animation mentor then also have my animation workshops as you know if you watch my channel and now on Top of those classes. I do have my YouTube channel As you know, you're watching this on YouTube where I post more lectures and FNAs and critiques and I kind of lump All of this into my teaching group. But that group should not interfere with ILM ILM is the main focus so whatever I have at work in terms of the schedule Over time or whatever it is all the teaching has to be structured around it and make sure that it doesn't interfere in terms of Schedule that I can't do over time or that I can't hit the deadlines or just kind of anything That's a problem for ILM in terms of deadline and just general job interference needs to be avoided So all the classes are kind of built around that I'm not gonna have five class in the evening which I can't anyway Which means that I can't do any potential over time in the evening or weekends if I had a class on the weekend at the same time I don't want to stop teaching because I love teaching So I want to keep an eye on the schedule and make sure that I have a class somewhere So I don't want to stop that and I don't always have classes for all of those So sometimes another of students for the mentor class that teach all kinds of different classes there was beginner to acting But also creature classes and you never know who signs up or who doesn't sign up and if there is enough Demand for class so sometimes I don't have animation mentor sometimes a physical class at the academy the same thing They're not enough sign-ups student demand wasn't enough for that class What a reason there is an online academy is not that often but when it happens and there's room then I teach it So again, it doesn't mean that there's always a class there that being said right now. There is I do have an on-site I do have an online I do teach mentor and I have my workshops So it's a lot and I thought maybe I should just document just once even just for myself how it is And actually if you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my stories But it did save them and I won't actually walk through that day with you now So you can kind of see what my day is when I get up in the morning and what I do throughout the day And until I go to bed and make some room. Let's play this here So you can see that I get up usually a quarter to five by the time I stumble into the bathroom It is close to five I wake up and got my morning protein shake and then I get into my office, which you can see it looks Somewhat okay until I pan over to the mess, which I never have time to clean It's a constant struggle and then I do usually academy critiques in the morning and workshop critiques Then on Wednesdays at six or at this term actually it's 6 30 I have a Q&A with my students and then after the Q&A is done I am exporting my workshop critique in Premiere for a YouTube upload and while that goes on I do my animation buffet rig uploads and Twitter postings and all that stuff that I do in the morning Then it's time to go to work and work has traffic this time with some bad traffic on the bridge But usually you have some traffic then I get to work That is the work lobby as you can see and I'm not allowed to show too much in there But on Wednesdays we have donuts and I said no because I have to lose weight inside ILM Don't tell anybody that I film this you have some props and some models and posters There's some awesome goodies displayed those costumes rotate not the stormtroopers, but those side costumes every now and then There's some new ones then it's lunchtime saying no to tater tots and burgers and fries and I have something healthier Then in the afternoon, there's more awesome stuff everywhere.   That's the 180 building I'm inside the physical can't film people there that is not allowed. I don't want to have them on screen That wouldn't that would be rude then I get out and when I'm at home I post the critique that I exported and I post that everywhere Facebook and LinkedIn and Twitter and later on Instagram and That was the day quarter to five and I went to bed at 11 35 Which means the next day I actually get up at six usually I get up a quarter to five That is the schedule tip the weekends It's a bit later, but I try to kind of be somewhat regular in terms of when I get up And I get up this early in the morning because I want to be productive And I do more in the morning because there are no disturbances There's no email no text or nothing like no one's around already sleeping I'm alone in my office and I can get all my work done I also feel better when I get everything done in the morning and nothing is looming throughout the day or in the evening That being said every now and then there's more to do and it kind of swaps into the evening Scheduled block which I try to keep open for just personal things But every now and then that happens now as I work on those things. I try to be as Automated, but I have a lot of templates. So when I do my critique I put that into my premier template which has the intro the outro all the blow isn't everything I just put in my critique and adjust the end where the the outro comes in and export that same thing if I post a Rig on my animation buffet website that has an automatic post on Twitter Then I just manually put that onto my personal Twitter account But I also like to sometimes post things separately and specifically with different images and so on and so on So I have my my own kind of thing But at the same time I'm trying to have lots of templates that includes anything that I do and premiere if I post something on Instagram I look at my previous post copy paste the whole thing all the hashtags and everything and I kind of change the intro text There's a lot of copy pasting going on a lot of templates and things that I can use same thing in Photoshop If I do my thumbnails for YouTube I have a Photoshop template with all the titles that's bring in new images and kind of tweak these as you kind of do But all of that is there to save me time By the way, I ordered a new chair So this creaking is gonna be over I think this weekend maybe next week definitely next week a new chair finally But as you saw in Instagram story I have a stream deck which I don't use for streaming yet I'm gonna be streaming anytime soon But I use it for other things which will be a review actually a separate post But there's so many things that I do over and over and over like if I have my workshop I've got a right to pass the things certain elements in the text that I keep repeating and all of that you can Have custom actions on that stream deck. So all I gotta do is push a button to open this push a button to write that text Or if I do my Q&A using zoom usually you open zoom and then you have Whatever the main page and then you choose your participants and the and the video webcam turns on and of course you could do all of this By hand I could do all of this by hand But even without a stream deck you can say an action delay some time another action and all of that push one button And then it opens up.  So little things but they add up at least for me I also keep a really tight schedule at work. So I'm hourly. I'm not paid salary So if I'm working 40 hour weeks, so it's eight hour a day after the eighth hour I'm out now. I know this might be very antisocial or you know, whatever you want to call this But I want to go home and see my family. I want to have dinner with my kids. I want to put my little kid to bed I want to read to him. So for me my work is done work is done And it's not that I don't like work and I don't like the people there But again, I want to have work and then I want to have that balance And then I want to go home and have my family life and that's where that balance comes in So I wake up early in the morning to get my teachings done and all the little things that I need to do Then I do my work block and then I come home. So when I'm home, I can spend time with my kid I can have dinner. I can snuggle with my wife. We can watch a movie together We can watch a TV show together. I can play some video games. I can read a book There's all kinds of things I can do and mainly it's something that is not work related I can just decompress relax and just do the things that I can either do with my wife or my kids and my family Or something about myself if I watch a horror movie that I usually watch by myself And that's the balance that I'm trying to go for and on top of that I try to schedule an exercise now This is again tricky because I have the obligations because of work and the teachings But I don't want this to be where well, I don't have time to exercise. I'm not gonna do this every now and then that happens But I'm 40 Hold on my 42. No, I'm 41. I'm only 42 actually soon. Anyway, so I need to exercise I need to have that balance of I'm sitting here and what is slouch and I sit in the car and I sit I work and I can stand I work too and I can stand here. I have a This table that goes up and out so I have ways but generally still I need to exercise and I want to exercise I also like to swim a lot. I like to play basketball and tennis Now she just recently bought a hoop that I have outside.  I can play and of course I got my dog So whenever I can if it's not raining but sometimes even in the rain we go out Then I walk for half an hour with my dog So I really try to have a good balance in terms of work and then family and exercise to stay healthy Of course, there are always some compromises. There are always some exceptions But at least I try to do that and if I don't do this, especially if you have at work You have you have your overtime food, which we're lucky to get sometimes. It's not the healthiest food and then you know Things grow and right now and a place where I need to lose a lot of weight Hence all the no when you see all those temptations But I try to be healthy and I try to stay within that healthy Balance like I said where I really want to focus on all those things I don't want to just work and also just don't want to be just lazy and I don't want to just exercise So I want that healthy blend and that mix that gives me an overall Balanced hopefully a balanced life. Now, that's during the week. So on the weekends Saturday Sunday, I do nothing Again, there are exceptions. Sometimes we have Saturday overtime could be Sometimes it happened be some critics are important or something for the channel that I need to edit I'm not done yet And I'm trying to do this in the morning Maybe maybe in the evening but I try in the morning But Saturday is usually time for my kids because my wife is working on Saturdays right now So Sunday is then family time with everybody and I really tried to do nothing in terms of work It's just family time It's quality over quantity and I don't want to think about work and then by Sunday night I can go to bed and then Monday the whole thing starts again that being said I like my work I like what I do a like animating like animating at the company that I'm at I like teaching and I like all those other things that I do But if there ever is a sense of I'm overworked or I'm stressed or I'm tired or starting to get exhausted I do a hard stop like this week. So right now we're working on saw words episode 9 there was a lot to do and as you could see on Wednesday, that was a long day and I didn't have time to work on the acting analysis and I was really tired And I didn't want to work on this on Thursday until 3-4 in the morning and then post it So I have my schedule. I upload the things that I do as you can see if I don't get to my bigger uploads Upload a critique because I have almost a thousand critiques So I have a lot of material that I can upload for you Hopefully the to learn but I'm not gonna kill myself and get up and do this. So I didn't have time I was tired. So I said no, I was not gonna do this didn't upload anything besides the critique Which was already done and it was Thursday, which means Star Trek Discovery time and I sat down with my wife He watched the episode and it was great and I relaxed and the same is with work So if we have work and there's overtime if after a while It just gets too much. I just stop and it's not mandatory overtime and if I'm too tired and exhausted I won't be efficient anyway at work and we have the freedom to tell production listen I can't come in or I feel overworked. I'm not gonna do this I just do my regular time and they're okay with that and then once I'm recovered I can go back and do overtime if I want to so I try to Choose specifically when I work like how much I work and what days so it's it's not a feeling of there's so much And I'm overloaded this I'm choosing to work this little or this much and I'm trying to schedule things So it's always something that I can manage. So that's my balance and sometimes you got to take sick days So you got to schedule your vacation the moment I feel overloaded again. It's a hard stop I just stopped doing anything that is not, you know, endangering my my life my family life and paying my bills So anything that's extra I just stop it because it's not worth it I need to be healthy. I need to be able to function So then I decide I'm gonna cut back on the extra things that I'm doing and focus on the main stuff and just relax and recover And at the same time I have a lot of little things that I enjoy that I use and do during the day to just keep me in a good mood And I'm a simple person so I can be in the car right now I'm binging through the Inglorious Trek spurs podcast and my massive Star Trek fan and those episodes are so much fun I listen to a lot of podcasts in the car at work. I listen to music. I listen to podcasts. I listen to movies I don't watch movies because you won't be distracted, but I can listen to movies that I know so I can put on Star Wars I can put on whatever Star Trek I put on Lord of the Rings I put on the Matrix or whatever movie that where I like the sounds and then the voices and there's a lot of stuff that I Can do just keeps me in a certain good mood and and can also maybe distracts me from The potential stress of work or whatever is going on now that being said this is just something that I do This is not a clip where I tell you do this and this is gonna work for you But I just want to answer the questions that I got what what do you do and how do you schedule those things? So that's that that doesn't mean it's gonna work for you It doesn't mean that you have the same opportunities or the same possibilities to do what I do But again, I just wanted to let you all you know, especially those that ask me This is my day I get up really really early in the morning because I want to get everything done in the morning So I have ease of mind in the evening and sometimes if I have more to do I have the time in evening to get that done as well if I would sleep in and then get everything done in the evening I mean, I guess you could offset the hours, but then I would go to bed really really late and I don't want to do that Either I want to have a regular healthy somewhat healthy Sleep schedule where I do sleep six to seven hours. Ideally they say eight hours But I also have a hard get up at seven because my little one gets up at seven So if I go to bed at three four, which again, I don't want to do I have to get up at seven I have to get ready. There's breakfast. It's a little guy and then I sleep only three four hours And that's really unhealthy and I obviously it's dangerous to drive. It's it's really unproductive in terms of work So that is my current schedule quarter to five I get up six on Thursdays and on weekends usually six as well and that's so far Works for me again I get a lot of stuff done in the morning and then evenings and weekends That's the balance that I have to kind of offset the work with just things that I enjoy and right now I'm reading multiple books and of course Star Trek That's one. I just got that's actually really really good. The writing is really great currently also going through Stephen King on writing and there's some other filmmaking and animation books that I want to read because I also wanted the reviews But that's when I also just keep educating myself outside of work But again, you can't just do all of this all the time and not offset this with Relaxation time and just recovery time and not just mentally but also physically with exercises. So that's it I don't know if this was helpful I hope it was at least interesting to watch if you're still here and you watch the whole thing Nuda that really appreciate this and that's it So Comments if you have anything to say about this any suggestions or what is your schedule comments are open as always You can of course like and subscribe. I gotta say this it's YouTube, but that is it for me That was the FNA and I will see you next week


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering AWS re-invent 2017, presented by AWS, Intel, and our ecosystem of partners. Well, welcome back to the Sands Expo. Here we are in Las Vegas at re-invent with just about 50,000 of our closest friends. Big AWS community gathering here all week long and it's a pleasure to be here with you on theCUBE. Along with Keith Townsend, I'm John Walls. We're now joined by Peter Smale, who's the Vice President of Marketing and Business Development at Datos IO. Peter, good to see you. Thanks for having me. I'm glad to be back. Love being on theCUBE.  Cube conversations with John Furrier, so we're gonna have to start charging you rent. I only have two numbers in my head right now. 18 billion, 40% cagger. It was the only two numbers I have. There's the only two numbers I have in my head right now. For those of you not in the know, those were the numbers that AWS was talking about in terms of revenue and growth. Crazy times, crazy show, good stuff. Well, this show really does embody that. It certainly illustrates that. I mean, we've only been here. The door's been open for about a half hours or so. Already wall-to-wall traffic. Yeah, people were queuing up to get into the expo floor, which is, I don't think I've seen that. I swung by our booth, you know, 28, 25. I swung by there at 11, 20. It was Santa Romona. It's like, it's great. It's great, the bud. I mean, you can feel it. If you're not on the floor, come down to the floor, because you can just feel the energy. And even still just walking up here, if you've been here to the stands here at these giant hallways, I was here probably two hours ago and it was already wall-to-wall people. And it was just packed. I was really impressed. Yeah, like the conference started and full tilt at like seven o'clock this morning. People just out and just engaging. All right, so you guys, you said, you're here, the relationship obviously AWS, we're going to get into that. You've got the booth here, 28, 25. 28, 25, yes sir. So, let's talk about first off, about your presence here. You know, what brings you into this community? You've been here for a while now, and maybe the evolution of that from the three or four years back to where you are now. Yeah, so we're, I mean, our view of the world aligns incredibly well with AWS, which is the whole notion of the world's moving to the cloud. You know, we've been in business for 2014. We are a cloud data management company with primary use cases around backup and recovery, as well as things like data mobility. And essentially our view of the world and our strategy is that as the world moves to the cloud, organizations are either, they're building net new applications, they're building modern applications that they're running in hybrid cloud environments. Those applications need a fundamentally new approach to data management. That's what we do. About 50% of our customers run natively on AWS. So this is a very logical show for us. We've got customers building these new modern applications. They're hosting them natively in AWS. They need backup and recovery. They need data mobility. That's what we do. It's just a perfect fit for us. So Peter, let's talk a little bit about data mobility. You guys are unapologetically cloud first.  Talk to me about that conversation with customers, how that's evolved from three, four years ago to now. I will, I'll use another quote from Andy from earlier this week, which is, or I guess this is from Jeff Bezos, theoretically. It's the whole thing about they're willing to be misunderstood for a while. You go back four years, early days. It's like, yeah, we're doing cloud first, backup and recovery for modern applications. Built on the MongoDBs, the Cassandres, the non-relational databases. It's going to a non-relational world. And in the early days people would laugh and they'd be like, why are you doing that? And we were steadfastly believing then as we do now that the world is moving to the cloud. The world is moving largely to a non-relational world. And so there's going to be a huge opportunity to provide data management solutions, data aware data management solutions for that. So we've stuck to that. We've been steadfast in that. But to your point about maturity, what's been really exciting for us as an organization is that I go back even a year and you talk about, so what do you do? And you give them the pitch. And there was a fair amount of nuance to it.  And then once you talk through it, maybe it was a 10 minute elevator pitch, if you will. You had to go like 20 floors. They got it, but it was a little bit more nuanced. Now it's, okay, great. Are you moving to the cloud? No brainer. Are you building modern applications? Are you reporting your old applications, building these new modern applications in a non-relational world? Absolutely. Are they running in production? Yes. How are you protecting those applications? We have no idea.  Or we're using native tools, or we're scripting, or we're not doing anything. So at very, to your point, the conversation has become much less new. It's not even nuanced anymore. It's the qualifying questions are incredibly simple and our value proposition is incredibly easy. If you're running applications, if you built net new modern applications, running in the cloud, or on-prem that you want to back up to the cloud, you need modern data protection. That's what we do. But let's talk about this hybrid IT scenario. I was at dinner last night with a couple of Fortune 500 AWS customers, and I was talking to them about the assignment of this whole category of data protection. They're like, backup, how is that, how is that sexy at all? Right. And then we got into this use case of data mobility. You know what, I've built something really big on-prem, and I need to, John hates this term, I need a multi-cloud strategy. Yeah, I know, just so you multi-cloud. He pressed me last week on the whole multi-cloud. Furrier. Furrier. Furrier. Yeah, that's right, yeah, that's right. I don't want you to reach over and backslap me here. So you're all in a multi-cloud. Furrier we got to worry about. My whole life. Thought to us about the importance of using what we would have traditionally called backup as a data mobility strategy. Cool, absolutely. It all kind of comes down to, for us, being data aware. I mean, if you think about it, we're a cloud data management company. Our number one use case is backup and recovery, because the first thing you have to do is you've got to capture the data. Backup and recovery of my VMs, right? Well, we're actually, good question. No, we are unlike traditional backup and recovery. We're not infrastructure-centric. We're application-centric. We're actually agnostic to the underlying infrastructure. So if you're running bare metal on-prem, if you're running on EC2, if you're leveraging S3, wherever you're running, we're fine, because we're actually, we integrate at the application level, at the database level, hence our focus on non-relational. Our number one use case is protecting that data. And because we are application aware, because we're data aware, and we integrate at the database level, we understand the underlying schema. We are aware of the data structures within the databases that people are protecting first and foremost. But in the context of data mobility to your point, the number two use case for us is that organizations want to protect their data, but then they want to do things like I want to spin up copies or sub-copies of my data, of my backup copies, for test def, for QA, for performance testing, for cloud instantiation, for archiving, for BI, whatever I want to do. The key is we're not a migration company, like AWS has migration services. If you need to move two petabytes of data from on-prem and you're not going to host it in the cloud, that's not us. But if you built these new applications and you want to basically intelligently use subsets of your data for those workloads I was talking about, we enable you to be incredibly intelligent about only recovering, if you will, or only moving the data that you need. So for example, simple things like with our RecoverX 2.5 that we just announced, we do something called queryable recovery. What that means is I can do everything from, say, star.peterstar, or I can pick individual rows and columns. Pick and choose. I can pick and choose based upon my database schema. I can mask columns of data if I have to do GDPR compliance or PII. So from a use case standpoint, it's all about being aware of the data that you actually, in the first place, you're backing up, but then what data you want to move so that you can be incredibly intelligent and efficient about the data that you're moving. So in traditional systems, I can encrypt data at rest. I can back it up that my tapes can be encrypted, my disk that's holding that backup data can be encrypted. When I think about that, when it comes to backing up object store into the cloud, how do I do that with? Great question. We are, again, because we're not infrastructure-based. We're not LUN-based. If we're not block-based, we integrate at the database level. We are completely transparent to encryption. We work perfectly fine with encrypted data. We were perfectly fine with compressed data. We invented something called semantic deduplication. If you're familiar with traditional deduplication, you know, it works at a block level. It's a fixed or variable-length block. In a clustered database environment or in a compressed or encrypted data environment, it kind of throws the capabilities of traditional dedu about the window. Semantic deduplication understands the scheme of the underlying database. So we encrypt, excuse me, we are highly efficient deduplication for encrypted data, for compressed data. We're transparent to that, if you will. So again, back to our cloud-first model, we built that in from day one.  The platform that we've built is fundamentally unlike anything else from a traditional backup and recovery or data management platform. All right, so make sure I get it right before we say goodbye. Datos.io, 2825. 2825, correct, www.datos.io. If you are running applications in the cloud and you need to protect those apps, please talk to us. We'd love to help you out. If you're looking for data mobility solutions, come talk to us. Love to chat. Right there, Peter, thanks for being with us. Next week you're off, all right? And no more. All right, we'll have to cancel that one because I'm back next week. Back to BackCubers, maybe we'll give you a week off. Thanks for having me always like being here. Appreciate it. Thanks for being with us. Back for more here. ReInvent, we're in Las Vegas, live here on theCUBE. Back with more right after this.
