Well, I am the organizer actually of this meet-up and I wanted to present this project of mine, which is like a side project I'm doing right now, which is a work in progress. But I started very small and then it became bigger and bigger and I thought it was time to give it a go and show to people what I've been doing and hopefully get some help from some people who are knowledgeable in databases or Golang or whatever. So how it started, I use Golang mainly for my backend development and mostly I'm using MySQL. So I told myself why not benchmark whatever I'm using every day and see what's the optimal solution to do whatever I do. So I just set the usual assumptions. So I use Google Cloud because I'm used to it. There's no reason why I could have used AWS, no reason. Latest Golang version, VM. So I tested either on virtual machines. So all one virtual CPU, almost 4GB RAM and no SSD, normal disk. But also in my local machine. I test with around 10,000 requests per second and 50 concurrent requests. This is customizable of course. And my goal was to, so I started very small with a simple schema with two tables and my goal is to be able to test different schemas always small to make sure that it doesn't become too complicated and also pluggable DBs. So I started with MySQL and then it was very nice and then I told myself why that's already pretty good, it's kind of working. So I started with just one small schema that I will show you later and MySQL 5.6 I think. And then I told myself, yeah, why not compare with PerconaDB and MariaDB which are binary compatible MySQL because it will not add me much work and they are both available in containers. So Percona is 5.7, MariaDB is 10.3 I think I used. And then I told myself, well, why not use also Postgres because everybody is talking about it and it's like cool to have another database system in there. I then had to adapt of course the creation and the SQL scripts but it's very similar so it was not so difficult. And with the Golang interfaces it kind of makes it very easy to do that. And then somebody told me wait, why don't you use Oracle because in my company we use Oracle and then that was a very painful decision because Oracle needs specific libraries in C and Java I think there's dependencies of course Oracle and there's only Oracle XE11 available on Docker Hub. But it was available so I also added that then my Microsoft also released SQL Server for Linux and it's available also on Docker Hub so let's go for it so I also of course tuned the scripts for Oracle and Linux Server SQL Server for Linux, sorry then SQLite because it's everybody in SQLite is very similar to MySQL and then why not as far as I was in all that and then there's one very recent project that a lot of people are talking about which is CockroachDB and basically it's a RDBMS but cloud native and I wanted to know how far and how it compared actually to the other RDBMS and it's 100% Golang so I was very happy to use it. Then I told myself well nobody uses that actually so let's compare it also to hosted MySQL and GCP so Google Cloud because Google Cloud gives you access to all providers Amazon as well of MySQL hosted and recently they also added Postgres on Google Cloud so I also added it so I think that's it yes but I didn't stop there I told you I started very small but I grew so much and then I told myself okay I know Swarm I know Kubernetes so let's compare both of them as well and see how all these containerized databases behave in either Kubernetes or Swarm in the same setup so unfortunately I didn't have the time to test on Swarm on Google Cloud because it was not very convenient and I didn't have the time simple as that then here are the first results that I have so this is as I said a very simple two tables it's basically one way of doing things which is actually very bad but that's another story I just wanted to benchmark two table entity one and basically each time you change the status of the entity one you save the status and so for all this I tried to test for all the things that I just said except Cockroach GB which unfortunately failed actually I'm going to talk to you the other one so I implemented it also in another way to see which one was faster and on Kubernetes so I've got all the results on Kubernetes on Swarm for all the databases I got the throughput the minimal time the maximum time the median standard deviation number of errors because I was surprised but there are a lot of errors actually so throughput is transaction per second mean time is nanosecond I should perhaps turn it into something more readable no but it's basically a simple so for the insert it's a this for this one is one insert so this is a crude statement so create an update so the create will for this schema specifically really insert in status first get the idea of the status and then insert into the second table so that's to insert for the create and for the update it's a one insert and then one update and below I have a select for a specific status so I select one entity one with a specific status and this second one is just a select by primary key for now I don't think I have enough unfortunately I don't think I have enough done enough tests and enough requests to have a very very reliable way of saying for my setup for what I do every day this is like for example I see you see the blue which is Percona Percona is really the best I cannot say that right now I don't think I have done enough tests but it was very interesting to say that there are a lot of differences for sure SQLite obviously is a lot faster for our selects because it's local it's not on the network so it gives then we can just remove it actually sometimes I have a Linux a scale server that behaves like a lot better than the others as well the previous one so that's on SWARM but the problem is that it's on local sorry that's Kubernetes and on local it's also a lot better but that's normal because my local is my MacBook Pro the number of errors is that it was actually very surprising SQLite I'm not surprised too much but PostgreSQL gave me a lot of 3 hours out of 10,000 it's not so bad but selects were pretty bad for Oracle for this time and any questions on this one? what kind of errors did you get? mostly locks or timeouts I timeout at 500 milliseconds so have you compared, have you tried benchmark without containers and with what? so yes it's a if you look at Kubernetes I have compared with Kubernetes latest that is I have a GCP MySQL which is not contained that's the error sorry it's not a very good representation and it's actually not that great for this example for now I didn't see much difference I was expecting something a lot better but not really for now what GCP offers more than what in my simple setup right now is a high availability that's something I didn't do yet but I'm planning to do machine without containers and running inside a container but that's what it does right because I compare MySQL or let's say Percona 5.6 within a container so that's this one that's the blue one and the Google Cloud MySQL which is not a container database it's a hosted database from Google Cloud is it your question? 10,000 I do 10,000 10,000 inserts or 10,000? 10,000 inserts 10,000 updates 10,000 selects how many such tests did you do? 10 but I didn't average yet so I need to do a lot more that's what I'm saying it's a work in progress don't take these results as something that you should follow that's for sure I need to do a way more test now but now that's my setup is done it's going to be a lot easier so everything is automated so each time I want to I modify something I just have one comment to run and then it runs all the tests on Google Cloud did you answer your question? actually just to find out what's the overhead the overhead of the container I will like the overhead maybe some potential I will overhead not even sure I actually I'm pretty sure Google I read that Google actually my sequel is also the one that they provide is also containerized so there's not so many different and I think anyway comparing the database performance to the IO you will never see anything yeah probably not yeah definitely not as well but I mean the database performance is so bad compared to what the IO could really impact on the results but it would be interesting anyway to see after I do more tests how it behaves any other question on this one? so right now I do it just inside the container but same also that's on my roadmap to use in Kubernetes stateful sets and persistent disk so that I can have I mean the next step would be high availability and to have high availability I'm pretty sure I will have to use a persistent disk maybe not for Cockroach DB I'm not sure yet hopefully not the one big result here actually sorry it was on the other page is that you see that Cockroach DB doesn't appear in any of my tests because they just went out for 1.0 and I could not finish the test it was a lot slower and I couldn't even reach the end of the test after 1 or 2 hours so I think in terms of request they are not there yet hopefully very soon I've asked them to look at what could be wrong but hopefully we can have it very soon I think that would be a great improvement for storage within containers and so what's next as I said better stability because my tests sometimes are not so reliable use cluster DBs so Galera cluster Cockroach DB used as a cluster with ProxySQL probably try to see if SSD as an impact or not so much and of course optimize the DB configurations because I know that there can be a lot of differences according to the RAM you set in the configuration or the cache you set as well and also if people are interested to help and contribute to this to one specific implementation let it be Postgres or MySQL or whatever you know it would be quite great my repository is here so if you are interested to contribute I'll be glad any questions what is your performance of different databases in fact containers on the database performance to the lot of play but my goal was to not really know if containers slow down or so it was really to find out the easiest and probably cheapest as well way to do basically a simple backend with a database and also considering how much hardware I have what is probably the best database I could use I was hoping at that time to be able to use CodecruzDB but it seems it's not ready yet but in the future I'll definitely look into it I also wanted to know if when Enterprise uses Oracle or SQL Server if it's really much better or if it's like very similar so basically we are doing database which one or not but containers allow me to make it easy I don't think Oracle is supported with Docker it's not that well it's supported with containerized I think it's LXD but not the Docker probably yeah it's not the official image that's for sure on any way I don't think a lot of people are using Oracle XE but maybe I'm wrong I'm not sure I think this might be one of the Enterprise announcements that I've mentioned there is on the Docker store there are licensed images so Docker is focused on so there's Docker Hub open source mainly like license managers built into the Hub so they can license images to people and I think Oracle is one of the they are using it but I'm not sure if it's officially supported but in the Docker store there's definitely some text Oracle XE is just for what you think pretty much I guess the cost is so just impossible to afford anyway for normal companies yeah ok


Hello there, I am here today to talk about some of the stuff. I've read recently and my co-host here today is gonna be Oscar Say hello Oscar This is the introduction song. It's not very good, but it's not too long So first up is the Reckoners trilogy by Brandon Sanderson now I'm a big fan of Sanderson and I've been meaning to read this one for a while Even though I haven't read much of his young adult stuff before like I read skyward and that one was Fine, I suppose, but I wasn't that into it and the Reckoners It sounded neat to me and it is kind of neat. It's basically this idea of okay one day this meteor came and Suddenly after that a bunch of people started getting superpowers and they call them epics, which is kind of a dumb name But like in a lot of these deconstructing the superhero mythos genre things that have come out recently These superheroes are not nice people. They're terrible people. They're tyrants. They Destroy governments. They basically take over the entire world and our main character is a guy named David who lives in Chicago What used to be Chicago which is ruled over by this seemingly unkillable epic by the name of Steelheart now Steelheart killed David's father so David wants him dead and in fact the first Sentence of the book is I've seen Steelheart bleed because David saw something which Gives him a clue as to what the weakness of Steelheart is and how they can kill him and then he Spends years and years training and he runs into this group of people called the Reckoners who are normal humans who go around fighting and killing epics and He just brings to their attention. Hey, I have a plan to kill Steelheart. Let's do it and I Like to this series. I'll start off by saying that but by the time I got to the end I realized it was basically just Mistborn like the first book we have heroes trying to overthrow some sort of tyrannical ruler and After that, I this is gonna get spoilery. So skip ahead if you don't want to Hear it, but after that that what what you don't like Mistborn I like Mistborn whatever and then after that they have a second book where they try to deal with the aftermath of Overthrowing that dictator and trying to put the world back together and then at the end of it there's some sort of big twist about the nature of the world and how it works and it sets up some much bigger more powerful foe that they fight in the third book and For the first two and a half. I thought that was fine Because at the end of the second book They're former leader of the reckoners.  We're gonna try and fix him We're gonna bring him back to the light basically and I thought that was fine But then I realized We're like 85% of the way through this book and we still haven't gotten to the real villain who is calamity Because it turns out that the meteor that came and was constantly orbiting the earth was not at a meteor it was a person or rather it was an epic and he was giving people all these powers and I know this sounds crazy but that's basically all the explanation we get because at the very end of the third book David goes up into space and he gets to talk to Calamity a little bit and we don't know exactly what he is he seems like some sort of God or God like being I don't know we get no information about this and then they Defeat him and the day is saved and people still have Powers there are still epics around, but they're no longer evil by default So the day is saved, but there's still a lot of work to do It's not a particularly good ending because you know It spends the vast majority of the final book just trying to fight professor and then out of nowhere Oh, there's this other guy and You have to fight him, but he's way too powerful and You know now he's dead and you win it just it really comes out of nowhere And we don't get an explanation as to what he is like in Mistborn it worked okay because ruin While he is Still kind of a mysterious figure and they don't know you don't know all that much about who he is and what he's all about If you only read Mistborn you have to read the rest of the Cosmere to find more about that but you still get the idea he's just an evil God of destruction and You don't get that with this. So while I really love the series up until that point, you know David is a pretty solid character. Most of the rest of the cast is pretty solid There's a romance between David and the girl named Megan who? It's not amazing, but I've seen worse. There's some really really good action scenes there's a lot of good twists regarding how you kill epics because Basically in order to kill him you have to find Whatever their weakness is and sometimes they're really bizarre and esoteric So it can be difficult, but the main character David is really analytical and he's really good at noticing those small details So he can find their weaknesses, and that's one thing I liked about him You know he never gets powers and just becomes someone who? Steamrolls all his opponents. He has to think his way out of stuff most of the time like The reckoners in the first two books have to like lay traps and really prepare for thing. Excuse you. Oh I'm sorry Am I bothering you? Given you pets and attention. That's bothering you They have to lay traps and such to Make sure that they don't immediately die And in fact the climax of the first book where they kill Steelheart is a lot like that And it's only because David figures out at the last second how to kill Steelheart that they succeed but The third book they just don't have that so while I don't think the third book was terrible It was definitely a huge drop down now that said While this is basically just the plot of Mistborn in a different that let's call it a re-skinned plot of Mistborn Mistborn is part of an expanded universe and while I love the Cosmere. I think that that does hold it back in some ways Oscar has left to hang out with other people, but I don't want to change the background So I'll just I'll just keep going Mistborn, I love the Cosmere. I love that Mistborn is in an expanded universe But even before you really learn about all this other stuff Because Mistborn is a solid standalone series, but even before you you learn about all those other stuff It does feel like it's just a small part of a much bigger whole and you never learn all that much about Ruin and preservation and all that whereas The Reckoners is not in an expanded universe and so I think that it does benefit from that in some ways like it can just be its own thing You don't need to connect. It's anything else. It's just yeah Here's what would happen if crazy things happen on earth And so there's like there's no status quo that has to be maintained like really anything could happen The earth could be destroyed so overall what I recommend the Reckoners Sure if you know if you're looking for an introduction to Sanderson This is definitely his style if you're looking for something that's a young adult But still a little bit smarter than most other young adult stuff and go ahead check it out Next up is the Black Prism which is the first book in the Lightbringer series which people have been telling me to read this forever and I just never got around to it But I finally read the first book and it was really really good, you know I actually read most of it in over the course of like three days which were spread out over a week because I had to go To somewhere else. I was on an airplane airport, you know, I read most of it during that time This basically this is a world where magic works on colors and Unlike Warbreaker where magic is kind of based on colors But it's just not that interesting in this one It's if you see green and you are a Drafter is what they call them who can draft green then you can pull that out and you can create stuff out of green Luxin is what they call it like the green light can be solidified and all of these kind of have different Uses for one another because there are seven different ones. There's subred, which is what we call infrared and red orange yellow green blue and Subviolet which we would call ultraviolet and they do have some different uses But honestly, they're a little too similar to one another for me And maybe that'll change in the later books, but it just feels like oh, okay You can create a shield or a sword or something out of yellow luxin and that's the strongest one and You can do it out of blue as well Which is not a lot different, but it's just not quite as strong and the only one that really stands out Or the only two that really stand out are red because that one's flammable you can make it explode and you know fireballs and all that and Subviolet which is pretty much invisible so you can do a lot with that and from there It is at least a little bit different than what you usually expect from an epic fantasy You know, it's not just a farm kid gets caught up and something goes on adventure. That's that's sort of Part of it like there is a farm kid character who gets pulled into this and he discovers He's the bastard son of the just someone important It's like look there there are some cliches here, but at least it does them in a different way and the Farm care character kid does not instantly become the most amazing drafter of all time He does have to work at learning his powers and while he's a little annoying at first He gets better by the end which is that that's pretty cool and all and there is a lot of hints that like Oh, there's a bigger story that's coming that you haven't heard about which is obviously pretty cool But it's difficult to get into like all the subtleties of the black prism without standing here and going through the whole plot I will say it's a lot better than at least a better start than Brent weeks as other series, which I've read which was The night angel trilogy. I I'm not a fan of that series. I've talked about it a little bit in the past, but I just I Don't know this isn't grim dark. This isn't trying to be super edgy or anything. It's just It's a fun fantasy series. It gets dark at times. Don't get me wrong but at least there's a reason for most of the darkness and You know, I I do like the magic like I said, I wish it would be I hope in the future We can differentiate the colors a little bit more so they have different uses and all that but For now, I do still really like the magic system. It works in a neat way I like the main character a guy named Gavin who I'm not gonna give away this the twist about his identity, but it's really weird and I like all the directions that could go in the future Basically, and there's a lot of fun action scenes in this too. Like the series is It takes place after the invention of gunpowder in their world But they don't actually use it all that often so I kept being surprised when in like battle scenes they go And then they fired cannons. I'll be like, oh, yeah, they have cannons but the battle and fight scenes are all a lot of fun Brent weeks has a talent for that and It ends on a crazy cliffhanger There's a lot of mystery as to what's going on and it does make me want to read what comes next So the black prism if you're a fantasy fan check it out Partials is another young adult thing and it's written by Dan Wells who I've heard good things about I haven't read any of his work before this, but I've just I've been meaning to check out partials for a while It's basically Sometime far in the future humans created these genetically engineered Like artificial humans, I guess called partials there I guess they're kind of like replicants from Blade Runner if you ever seen that and The partials released some sort of virus which killed off the vast vast majority of the human population and there's only a Couple of thousand people left and they're all living on Long Island And enter this girl named Kira who is training to become a doctor She wants to you know try and find a cure for this virus and she obviously wants to Well, it's it's young adult. It's not a crappy young adult book, but it is young adult So obviously she has a boy that she's into it's just if it it's a whole thing It's it doesn't take up that much of the story, but it is there and then she decides Okay, we're gonna go capture a partial and we're gonna do tests on him to try and figure out a cure for this And from there the story goes in some really neat directions like I was expecting this to be Well kind of just a journey, you know, they go off to find the partial They get him they have to bring him back and along that way. They discover a bunch of stuff And it's really not that there are sequences in the book that are journeys, but a lot of it is actually spent on well Medical tests, I suppose you would say, you know, it's just people doing tests and trying to figure out how this virus works because it's very Unusual is the right word and they're also trying to figure out like why would the partials do this? And once you meet the partial that Kira Be kind of becomes friends with that's not a huge spoiler. It's pretty obvious from the setup of the story But once you get to meet him you start learning more about the partials and like why they did what they did and what exactly is going on And yet they also learn more stuff about their government where they live Like I know it's a cliche for young adult stuff that takes place in the future to have just an authoritarian government who just kind of Exists and oppresses people just because in this one it feels almost like we're seeing that authoritarian government when it first rises Because you know, it's an emergency there. The world has basically ended at this point And we're seeing them slowly take more and more power and have more and more control over people's lives And so I uh, I did like that There is plenty of action and stuff in this book for people who are into that sort of thing which Obviously, I am not everyone is but obviously I am and If you feel that the story is a little dull I would encourage you to hold out until near the end because near the end There are some crazy crazy twists in this one like I hate telling people that there are twists and stuff because you're kind of expecting them and that doesn't surprise you as much but there's like 12 in this and That they're all done, you know what they're all done pretty much perfectly And and like it sets up mystery for the next books. It ends on a Massive cliffhanger like this is another one where like yes, I need to read the next book right away And if it weren't for the fact that I keep having to read other stuff for like this you know, I would probably have already gotten through the entire series in like less than a month because This first book is really really good now. There are some issues like I feel the prose could use a little more detail when it's describing characters for instance like Kira It's a little ways into the book before it says that she is Indian or of Indian descent I guess so, you know, she's pretty dark-skinned and based on the cover model on the book I didn't really expect that and and then I realized like oh, yeah, I guess it didn't really Describe her in any way. So I just kind of imagined generic teenage white girl in my head. So it's a little it could use some work in that regard and There are a few points where if you feel like it dragged on just a bit too long Especially with the medical tests and the explanations and all that like it's it's not as bad as it could be It's nowhere new it doesn't have anywhere near as much detail as say like Michael Crichton books If you ever read those but it is a little obnoxious and basically I recommend partials to anyone who Likes near-future sci-fi stuff anyone who likes Stuff where the world is like on the verge of ending or it's already ended like post apocalyptic stuff, whatever And people who like young adult stuff that is a little bit more mature kind of like the reckoners You know, this is a little bit more mature and a little bit better done than you might expect it to be So if you're into any of that then partials really check this one out because that one's really good And the last one I have today is Salem's lot. Now. This is a classic by Stephen King It's all about vampires, but it's not like modern vampires in like the strain where it's a virus and they're basically zombies I like the strain, but you know, that's what it is And it's not something where like they're sparkly and they fall in love with teenage girls or anything like that This is like really old-school vampires who are hurt by crosses. They can't enter your house without permission They have human familiars to do stuff, you know, that sort of thing and it's you know done in the style of Stephen King So we have this entire town which in the prologue. We learned the entire town gets wiped out at some point and there's very few survivors left and so He also goes around introduces us to all these people and their lives and yada yada And then finally the action starts and then vampires are going around and people have to hunt the vampires They have to fight the vampires and you kind of know from the beginning that it's not going to have a happy ending and it's just It's a it's a nutty story and I like it overall I don't have a whole lot to say about it because it is pretty standard as far as Stephen King stuff goes like if you've read One Stephen King book. I'm not gonna say you've read them all but you they all have a very similar flow and a very similar style to them And so you kind of know Already if you're going to enjoy them or not like if you haven't read any Stephen King books I think this is a good place to start because it's not super long and It was earlier in his career. So some stuff is not as polished But he was also still doing cocaine at the time. So some stuff is much more polished and if you like vampires when they were like a horror icon, then You'd probably like this one. My main complaint is how Well in classic Stephen King style It does go on about stuff that no one gives a shit about for way too long Like there's parts where it describes what characters had for lunch In excruciating detail and it's like not even main characters It's tertiary characters that we don't give a shit about so that's just no But I will say the core cast of this one like all the main main characters are really solid They'll have a lot of personality to them and they they feel like real people for the most part the vampires themselves are Terrifying as they should be, you know, it's a horror novel. They should be terrifying the plot gets bogged down about Maybe 60% of the way through and it took me a really long time to finally get through that chunk because I was just really really bored with it but I did eventually get through it and Well, yeah, it's just I don't know how much else I can say about it It's a classic vampire tale where an entire town gets attacked and basically destroyed It's like 30 days of night almost in that sense, but it came out before 30 days of night and it's also Less violent.

Hey, what's up coach welcome back to the YouTube channel now today. I have my notepad and I Have on here just a very simple blueprint to Generating a hundred thousand or more with sports camps now. Let me give you a disclaimer here If you don't have any Clients if you've never started a business before I Like I don't want this to sound like something that's really easy. It's very difficult to do I've seen this with multiple multiple coaches that we've been able to help and mentor One of the coaches that I'm helping right now Two weeks ago, and this is during the pandemic. So it's in The beginning very beginning of December he ran a camp and did twenty thousand dollars profit Right. So what I'm telling you here is absolutely going to work And it's going to work a lot better for you if you already have experience in business versus not having experience All right, so I'm just gonna share a few Concepts and ideas that will help you get on this path and I believe running sports camps is the most profitable Business model out there in the sports training industry if it's done correctly Right. There's millions of camps that happen every summer in every sport imaginable and the number one thing that you need to get out of this video is Whatever camp you do it can't be the same as Everyone else your camp Needs to be unique. It could be a camp or a clinic. It has to be different and One thing that I'm seeing that is starting to becoming I would say this is becoming more of a trend in basketball soccer Football baseball is running Like competition camps. So that could be for elite players or that could be for beginners. It doesn't matter But having something that you know one player one athlete can win So this way like it's more competitive and we all know now parents are a Thousand times more competitive in 2020 and 2021 then they were in 2010 All right So if you have some sort of competition base camp or your camp is unique And it's something that only you can do and something only you can do very well you or your staff members If it's set up like that and if you can duplicate it in other areas like you have a Great chance of generating a lot more revenue than someone who is just doing whatever one else does and It's very common. Just in the summer go look around go search online. See what's happening in your area Go look to see what other people are doing and most people just do the same thing So this is where you need to be a business owner and be creative All right, so you have to be unique. That is number one number two I feel like this this will generate at least one to three thousand more dollars per camp that you do is you need to have a good referral strategy and I'm not going to go into too much depth on this right now Like if you wanted to talk over the phone, this is there's a lot of moving pieces with this but essentially the strategy I like to teach is When you market your camp Once the parent pays they will instantly go to a page Where there's going to be a video and you're going to be talking about how you you know They can get the next camp or next clinic for free or at a discount if they share Your referral code and your referral code is a link that they can send on to other parents that they know So they can start sharing your registration link and that will help your registration link go viral and think about it every single time One parent signs up for a camp that one parent knows at least At least 20 to 30 other parents that they could share that with right, so this is why like If you have a good referral strategy in place You will get more people to sign up for every camp that you run and you can let the technology Take over right and it's it's pretty simple to set up There are a couple moving pieces If you want to learn more about that feel free to reach out to me just text me at two one zero nine six zero five seven seven one And I can tell you more about that Next here is you know if you're going to have big camps, let's say you you have a camp that does an in between 2000 to 20 thousand dollars It can't just be you at the camp right you have to Learn how to bring on other coaches Either by having a staff or paid volunteers or just even look in your own niche Other coaches that are in your city that you could partner with on this sort of stuff And I think that's the easiest way to start a camp is Have you know two or three other competitors that are in your city They already have their own audience and put on a camp together I partner with those people And you guys could have You know hundreds of kids at that camp and then you want to make sure though And this is the the big problem I see with most camps you have to make sure that kids are getting attention So for example, if you have a hundred kids there at the camp If it's just you I don't know how well that's going to do unless you are so comfortable Putting on a great camp in front of 100 kids And It's valuable for those kids all those kids are learning they're getting better if that's the case great But for most people who can't do that It needs to be set up to where you have multiple coaches and those coaches You're dividing them in to uh, you know helping kids in small groups So those kids in small groups during the camp can get more attention And typically when you do that you can charge more money per registrant If you have a good Coach to to player ratio All right, so that one is very key and then also knowing how to pay Those coaches, you know, are you going to pay them just straight up for the camp? Or are you going to pay them for their time? And what sort of value do they bring to you? Are they bringing in other prospects and leads and people who can sign up for this or not? right but a great way Of expanding your camps is just look locally Like see what's going on with other coaches And be the one in your city who's like, you know what? I want to put on this camp this summer and have four of my biggest competitors And we're going to merge together and we're going to put on a big camp to help more kids And the cool thing about that is if you're the one who puts it together You're collecting all of the data if you are in charge of the registration You're collecting all of the data which means you can do Future camps with those customers right and It would be a smart thing if you let the other coaches know that you're trying to partner with that That's what your plan is. So these coaches want to do more camps all right So I hope that makes sense Next one here, and this is something I'm seeing more A lot of coaches in our consulting program have done this together I've seen a lot of coaches start doing this a lot more They even during the pandemic this has happened And what it is Is you look online All right, and specifically you look on instagram or facebook and you see Who are other coaches that are at your caliber? And you start to network with them And see if you can put on clinics or camps together Uh many coaches that i'm helping right now What they do is they start to form relationships with other people in other states Uh other coaches in other states and what they'll do is like, you know, one person will fly to the other state The other coach estate and run a big camp and then that that other coach will come back to visit Uh, you know the one who first went and that is a great way To build more influence nationwide is if you have Uh strong relationships with other coaches and you can do that multiple multiple times throughout the year And the cool thing is if you set it up correctly You could do it where you're not even having to go do the camp You could just send one of your assistants out there Or you could just have a system down that you're teaching to other coaches It's also another business model All right, so I hope this helps Um and in my opinion, you know, if you're wanting to grow your camps past 100 000 dollars You need to do one of two different ways All right, I recommend Both of these uh for coaches no matter which level they're at The first is you want to run a camp multiple times per month All right, and that all comes down to scheduling So that could be a one-day camp that could be a two-day camp That could be a two-hour camp. It doesn't have to be a full-day thing um, but that comes down to just Doing a lot of camps. So there's a high volume of camps And if you just break down the numbers, you know, if you run 52 camps in a year and you average $1,000 or sorry $2,000 Per camp you're clearing a hundred thousand dollars All right, that would be you doing one a week now I wouldn't recommend doing one a week. I think you could do one every other week And do like probably right around I would say Probably four grand if you do one every other week. That's you know, still $8,000 a month And and again if you have staff in place, it shouldn't have to be you Physically doing all the work. You can be the one who's setting everything up Right and there's you know, you can do a high volume of camps. You can do Maybe two a month or you could do one per quarter Like if you do one really big camp per quarter and you are networking with other coaches And these coaches already have a big Base of clients that they're already working with then you should be able to achieve that number Very similar to you know, how coaches that we're helping how they're doing So I hope this video helps if you are a coach right now and you already have experience with camps And you want to ramp it up What I'm doing is very simple with this sort of thing. I'm just offering one-on-one consulting Where we just hop on a phone phone call for an hour And I can show you how to set up these systems that we're talking about And I know the systems that that I help coaches with with the referrals like that's made a massive difference In their business. So that's it for today's video. Thanks so much for watching Reach out to me at<PHONE_NUMBER>. You'll see my phone number right below this video That's it for today's video. I'll catch you later


What's good Josh Boros back again with another video. So we're gonna check out 10 WWE wrestling spots that make zero sense I know you've seen it over the years if you've seen any wrestling There's some spots that just when you really think about it that don't make a lick of sense for example the infamous Everyone's crowded under one spot for whatever random reason and One person goes to the top and they jump off and then he jumps into the crowd and the people that are nowhere near The people that's in the middle of this little crowd. They just fall for no reason It's never made sense to me never does never will but appreciate all love and support. This should be a good video Let's get ready to do some pro-wrestling that avoid all sense of logic and reasoning these spots make no sense whatsoever and completely draw fans out of the illusion that is pro-wrestling Some of the spots on this list have been around for decades and there's no justification for their existence Other than they are a common part of a standard wrestling match But which ones are they or join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 signature WWE spots that make zero sense Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive lease Also, check out wrestling me a code UK and an on wrestling channel incredible number 10 submission moves on the announce table a WWE is very much focused on the visual parts of pro-wrestling Who should look exciting and compelling as a viewer and this preference is often favored over moves making any logical sense One of the move that is common in WWE is submission moves being conducted on the announce table While seeing a signature submission move performed on a table as fantastic site visually What difference does the table make to the pain inflicted? Yeah, the answer is zero the pain level of the submission move would be the exact same no matter where the move was being Executed. Yeah That is focused on creating a visually compelling moment rather than anything with any cave a babes of a wrestling match involved number nine clearing items from an announce table Yeah, that's that's always like a Thing that I've noticed. I'm like, why are they doing that?  I'm not about to clear the table. So it's a safer land No, I'm just gonna throw you on there Speaking of spots involving the announce table One of the most frustrating things as a viewer is when wrestlers get set to put their opponent through a table But they decide to clear the table before commencing with their move a some may say that the logic of this is that they want to Clean break but surely a move being conducted with various items on the table would be way more impactful Yeah, the items on the table usually include a laptop pens and TV monitors And this would naturally inflict a way more pain on the opponent. So shouldn't they just leave them on number eight? Position for top roof moves a top roof moves are some of the most exciting moves in all of pre-wrestling moves such as flying elbow drops and the frog splash are iconic and always receive a huge reaction from the crowd Whilst visually amazing to witness the illusion of the move is often broken when the camera captures the person taking the move shifting themselves Scooting over into the spot The individual taking the move often moves around to make sure that their opponent will land the move safely and Effectively when the camera captures this live the move begins to lose its luster Mm-hmm it goes without saying that it's hard to avoid WWE in particular should try to avoid showing the opponent on the mat as much as possible Predominantly focus the camera on the wrestler on the top rope who's about to perform the aerial maneuver It's all about camera work really if you're watching at home the camera work really helps a lot of the matches we've seen Plenty of times where somebody the camera zoomed in on someone and that person Doesn't actually hit the person that they're supposed to hit it. They they they fake it You know I'm saying so it's all about camera work if the camera angles on point and they're looking at the right thing at the right time It could sell the match for the people watching at home We'll make it look number seven trying to escape the fireman's carry now the fireman's carries Oh, yeah All of the flaws of the fireman's carry is that it is extremely rare to see wrestlers attempt to fight out of it Yeah, why is it surely once a wrestler is on their opponent's shoulders? They know a devastating move is coming So why not at least pretend to fight out of the move a certain wrestlers including Seth Rollins and mastered this in recent Yeah, whenever Rollins is put into a fine We'll do everything you can to sell the fact he's trying to escape the move this approach from Rollins should be Replicated whenever the fireman's carry is performed, but it seems unlikely that anything is ever gonna change in relation to this particular move Number six no headshots allowed for over a decade now WWE have had a blanket ban on chair shots to the head Thanks to research into concussion related injuries WWE found it best that chair shots to the head aren't allowed under any circumstances This has created a few issues from a storytelling perspective as whenever a wrestler uses a chair in a match or in a segment They seem to be targeting every single body part other than their head Yeah, if the wrestler in question load their arch nemesis so much Why wouldn't they perform a chair shot to the head back this ruling has created some awkward moments over the past few years Where wrestlers mid-match have actively had to avoid hitting each other in the head So Lord logic aside this directive from WWE is for the best as concussion related matters is something that every combat sport should take Seriously, yeah, anything chair shots to the head Definitely, it's you know, it's one of those things where they got to really be careful Even we're putting your hands up to your head. Sometimes you may not get your hands up in enough time So, you know, you can still in the potential to get into concussion and they are not trying to pay no lawsuits So the end of the day it's safer for the wrestlers to you know, just take different chair shots to the back or side or whatever But not to the head because it could be very dangerous especially if someone ends up retiring they end up getting the case of CTE or some type of brain damage now is like What happened, you know number five super moves are there are certain finishing moves Which are simply generic standard wrestling moves For instance the rocks finishing move the people's elbow is literally an elbow drop The rocks version of the move more deadly than the exact same move Additionally, if the elbow drop was indeed such a legitimate move Why doesn't every single wrestler on the roster steal the move? The same logic can be applied to Hulk Hogan's leg drop of doom This was Hogan's finishing move throughout his career, but why was his so impactful? Yep Hogan's secure win over the likes of Ric Flair Triple H and Randy Savage with the move But if the leg drop was done by any other wrestler, it would barely receive a one count It's an interesting question Climbing the steel cage A majority of cage matches particularly in WWE have the stipulation that a wrestler can win either by escaping over the top of the cage Or escaping through the cage door The stipulation has resulted in a strong number of cage matches having no sense of logic Take for instance when a wrestler is down in the match Their opponent will ascend to the top of the cage in order to escape rather than simply walking out of the cage door I've thought about that too. It was like you can just request for the door to be open. Just Just hey open up the door. He's out Matches over. Why did they do this from WWE's perspective? It makes for a better visual and adds to the drama, but it makes the stipulation the match completely pointless Luckily, there is an easy way to fix this in future a cage match should only be a one via escape over the top of the cage Then this then completely removes theological fluff on the match, which would be cool I'm all for that stipulation if they do a cage match You can only get out. The only way you can win is escaping from the top That's it climbing the cage and the first person to hit feet hit the ground They win because usually that's how it ends up happening anyway Number three the inability to ascend a ladder Popular matches in WWE history However, that doesn't mean that the match type doesn't have established issues One of the most frustrating things when watching a ladder match is when a wrestler will suddenly forget how to climb a ladder Wrestler will be unable to climb as they wait for their opponent to get in position for the next spot A wrestler seems to go in slow motion as if there was no urgency whatsoever in the match The spot is flawed because the wrestler can simply pull off every other single move in the match But when it comes to climbing a ladder they encounter a major issue Number two dives to the outside Now over the past few years the dive to the outside has become one of the most commonly used moves in wrestling The move used to be presented as a special move and will receive a thunderous reaction from the audience However, the move is now just as common as a super kick or a suplex Or one of the worst things about the move is that it completely takes away from the escapism of pro wrestling Whenever the move is about to be performed one or sometimes several talents will be standing outside the ring Just waiting to catch their opponent This makes no sense.   He never wins with this move. Yeah, is he right? animal one They are so spot on with that bro. He so spot on just sitting there Whoa Bro just move out the way the corner stomp Without a doubt the most nonsensical spot in all of wrestling is the dreaded corner stomp This is a spot which sees a wrestler pull themselves into the corner turnbuckle and they are then to hold themselves in position Whilst their opponent performs a stomp on them. This spot makes no sense Why on earth is a wrestler holding themselves up in position for the spot? This was a spot which was made popular by albert del Rio during his time in wwe The spot has to be abolished from existence with immediate effect Whenever the spot occurs the wwe commentary team struggled to explain what is happening Well, he's just holding himself the move involves But there you have it folks 10 signature wwe spots.  Like when you really think about it They're literally just holding themselves waiting to get stomped on like they're looking up at their opponent I've never understood that like bro. Just Yeah, give her that move just get rid of it. It doesn't make any kind of sense, man Oh, but this was a good video, man We see a lot of these Nonsensical moments in wrestling so I want y'all to comment down below Let me know which one of these spots do you feel like should definitely be abolished In just all of professional wrestling me personally I do think the whole everyone bunching up together to catch one person spot I do think you can kind of get rid of that It only makes sense if like people are brawling, but usually they're just sitting there I don't know what the hell they be doing Honestly, you get rid of that spot and the holding yourself up to wait for your opponent to stump on your spot Get rid of those I think those need to be abolished, but I appreciate all love and support Roll to a handicap. Appreciate y'all kicking me. See y'all next one. Peace


Hey, welcome back everybody. Jefferyk here with theCUBE. We are live at Moscone Center at the RSA convention. 40,000 security professionals are here. Talking about security, this thing grows every single year. We're happy to be here and excited for our next guest. AJ Gupta, he's the global director, product marketing and management from Huawei. Welcome. Thank you, Jeff. Pleasure to be here. Thanks for your time. Absolutely.  Oh, it's been ages. You can look at me and you can imagine. You've got all the hair still dark. Come on, you've been too nice to me. So what's really changed as you've been coming for years kind of at a global perspective? Yeah, yeah. I think we have seen the nature of security change and nature of threats change. The different companies have changed actually over the years. The crowd has gone up. It's well like 40,000 you mentioned. So we really think the show has really become the gold standards for the trade shows when it comes to security. We weren't there at RSA, but last few years we have made it a point to be here every year to talk to the customers here. And you meet all the people from all over the world. That's the best part. Customer partners, everybody. It's interesting because a big part of the theme here is collaboration and ecosystem. And nobody can do it alone. Everyone covers different pieces of the puzzle. I know you guys are trying to grow your ecosystem. What does ecosystem mean to Huawei? Absolutely. I think we do believe from a security perspective, no single vendor can offer the best of the breed security to their customers. We really need these partners, the ecosystem. Huawei has something what we call being integrated. That means bringing the partners on board to offer different pieces of the puzzle. In fact, it's a good point to mention we are announcing two announcements this morning actually. The first one we're going to talk about is about Avira. It's the best AV engine company in Germany. Huawei really recognizes the importance of the AV. So we are bringing their AV engine on the Huawei's next generation firewall. It really brings two things, performance and the accuracy. That's what people need from an AV point of view. The second announcement we're going to make really is what's called the Huawei's USC 9000V. It's a security gateway actually. So as the cloud proliferation, as people are moving to the cloud, as people are using more and more SaaS applications, you're going to see lot more security built in from the cloud perspective. Our USC 9000V is actually the perfect gateway to combat the security threats in the cloud. So virtual data centers, the cloud data centers, some of the OTTs, we really bring all the different kinds of security in the USC 9000V. The announcement we are making is really an upgraded version of the existing security appliance that we call 6000V. Again, it's a software security, works with different VMs, whether it's KVM, whether it's Zen, whether it's NSX, Huawei's own virtual system, the Huawei's fusion sphere, the performance is in terabyte. So you can actually go and read some of the specs from the Huawei's perspective. One of the best of the beat products for virtual security. Right. And the clouds changed everything, right? I mean, so many applications are delivered via the cloud now. And even if it's not a cloud and it's an internal cloud, people want the flexibility of cloud. They want the scalability of cloud. They really want the way the cloud works for them to deliver the applications to their customers and their employees. Definitely. So three things I'm going to mention here from a cloud perspective. What people are looking from a cloud perspective or cloud security perspective is on demand. How do you scale in, scale out as the demands of the bandwidth goes up? You got to make sure your network security is able to keep up with that demand. People are looking for visibility. You got this multitude of appliances, boxes, cloud boxes, cloud security all over the place. How do you make sense out of it? How do you really bring all of those thresholds, all of those alerts come together into the form of that CIO or CSO can really understand? Right. And the last thing I'm going to make it easy to configure, plug and play, some of the automation feature. Automation, people are starting to move in the security but you got to be careful when you bring automation from a security perspective. You need to automate tasks that are not that mission critical but as we get more and more trust, you're going to see more security automation in the industry. Yeah, because over this cloud, it just needs to work, right? Everybody just expects I can add more capacity, I can spin it down and it just needs to work, right? It's somebody else's problem. Yeah, absolutely. Somebody else's data center. I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. I just know it works. I pick up my phone, it's connected. That's exactly the concept of security but you got to be really careful when it comes to security because you got to make sure that when, suppose the positive threats and positive and negative threats actually, how do you compare and make sure you automate from a positive point of view and not from a negative point of view? But there's one thing that hasn't changed, cloud or node cloud. And they talked about it in the keynote and that the great line was every company has at least one person that will click on anything. Oh, I love it. I love it actually. How do we get past? I mean, they're still getting the email from the African king who needs to sit down with him or Nigeria. So let me put it this way. I would say hackers are getting smarter and smarter. How do you keep up with the threats from the hackers who are one step ahead of it? How do you really combat threats, those unknown threats in the future? So I think things we have seen in 2016, the phishing attacks are back on the rise actually. Obviously you've seen ransomware. From the point of ransomware, I should mention there's something called popcorn time from a ransomware that I'm going to let you off the hook if you're in fact, two other computers actually. I don't need the money from you. So hackers are coming with those innovations to really go and hack more people actually. You've seen what happened with the connected cars. Chrysler had a recall of 1.4 million vehicles in the past. You've seen what's happened with the cameras, the surveillance cameras. So I think two things we really need to watch out in 2017. One is ransomware and the number two thing which is extremely, extremely important is industrial IoT actually. Absolutely. As the sensors get deployed more and more around the world, you've got to make sure that those sensors are able to keep up with the threats. It's not easy. So what Huawei provides to the table is really end to end security. Two things in security, multi-layered security and security in difference. Those are the principles from the bottoms up not from the top down. Right. It's funny, the funniest, it's not funny really, the ransomware story was fake ransomware. I didn't actually put ransomware on your machine. I just told you that I did. So go ahead and pay me anywhere. And the other thought is really the ability for them to build a business because of Bitcoin as a way to collect anonymous money from people that enabled a rise in the escalation of ransomware. It's a complicated world. So I'm going to give you the last take as people drive away, leave RSA 2017. Really what should be the top of mind as they think about what's going to happen and what we'll be talking about when we come back a year from now? I think two things I would really suggest people to really take away from the RSA this year. First of all, what's happening in the industry, what's happening in the market, keep updated with the latest threats, see what vendors had a very comprehensive solution from an end-to-end perspective, really go do their own research, making sure that security is not an afterthought. Security needs to be proactive. Security needs to be build up from ground up. Don't regard security as something secondary actually. As long as people put premium on the security, that's going to save their face to be rather than appearing on the Wall Street front page or have been hacked. They say there are two kinds of company, 50% claim that they have been hacked, 50% no, they just don't admit it, that's all. All right, very good. A.J., thanks for stopping by and congrats on a great show. My pleasure, thank you, thank you very much. A.J. Gupta, I'm Jeff Frick. You're watching theCUBE from RSA Conference in downtown San Francisco. Thanks for watching.


Hey, everybody. My name is Leslie Richardson. I'm a Program Manager on the Visual Studio debugging and diagnostics team. And in this video, I want to talk a little bit about the new search feature for the autos, locals, and watch windows in Visual Studio 2019 and why you should ultimately use it because at the end of the day, it can help save you a lot of time and make you more productive while you're debugging. So in order to showcase this feature, I have this .NET Core application in Visual Studio 2019 here and I also have this list containing a bunch of different recipe objects. So in this case, I just want to go through all of these recipe objects and locate individual ones. But at first glance, the moment I expand this, I am ready to be annoyed because I have 61 objects contained in this list. So if I wanted to, for instance, find all recipes containing salad, I'd have to expand each one of these, locate its title property, which is all the way at the bottom here. And whoops, this one is not a salad recipe. So I'm going to have to go back, rinse and repeat until I find all of the particular, all the objects that I'm interested in. So this is going to take a lot of time. It'd be one thing that this list contained 10 or less items, but unfortunately, this is a larger list containing 61 different items and a lot of properties under each object. So there are a couple of things that I'd like to do to help make my watch window experience in this case a lot easier. So the first thing I'm going to do is use an attribute called the debugger display. And this is a feature that will allow me to customize how I view my objects in the watch window, autos window, locals window, data tips, and any other debugger window. So to demonstrate this, you'll notice that in the value column here, I am just being shown the type of each object, which I kind of already knew. So it would be a lot more helpful and useful if I got more specific info and was able to view each object by their particular property rather than a type. So I can use debugger display in order to do that. So I need to go to where I first defined my class. And at the top of the class definition, I'm going to add some debugger display syntax. And I'm using curly brackets here to return the value of a property that I want displayed in these windows. So because I want to view each recipe by their title, I'm going to use the recipe title property here. And I modified my code so I need to hit restart. And that should give me more useful information. So debugger display is a feature that is available for managed code users. So if you see C sharp, F sharp, or visual basic and are debugging in any of those languages, then you should definitely try this out. But if you're a C++ user and are wondering, is there an equivalent feature that you can use, I'm pleased to tell you that there is. It's called NATVIZ. And the main difference between NATVIZ and debugger display is that you're going to have to create a separate NATVIZ file. And it's basically just some XML where you can add in properties that you want displayed in any of these debugger windows. So here's the magic of debugger display. Because when I expand my recipes list here, you'll notice that I've gotten a lot more helpful info here. I can see each object by their title right off the bat. So I don't have to expand each one of these to find what I'm looking for. So from there, it should be a lot easier to locate each item by their specific properties or keywords. So if I wanted to find the recipes that contain salad in them, it would take a little less time, but because there's still 61 items, it's still going to take some time and it'll be a little tedious. So this is where search for the watch window kicks in. And instead of scrolling for what I want, or expanding for what I want, I can just search for it instead. We're going to type in salad and hit enter. Immediately it'll take me to the location that matches my keyword, which saves me a whole lot of time. Super helpful. And if I wanted to find any other matches that Visual Studio found for me, I can hit find next. And it will take me through all of those as well. So if I wanted to navigate backward and forward through this list of matches, I can change my search depth to one. And what that's doing is I'm changing how thorough I want my search to be. When I had my search depth at two, Visual Studio is essentially performing a depth-first search through each object. So it's going to go two levels deep into one particular object. And then it's going to return back to that root node for that object and then go to the next one and so on and so forth until it finds matching keywords. So with the search depth of one, I can scroll backwards and forward through all of my recipes containing salad. Awesome. So from there, let's say I wanted to locate another property, like extended ingredients. So again, I can search for it. Only this time I'm getting a notification telling me that no matches are found. But the first suggestion that it gives me is maybe I should change my search depth to a larger number. And in order to do that, or by doing that, I am telling Visual Studio to perform a more thorough search. So I'm going to bump up my search depth from one to three because extended ingredients is a property that is nested a little bit deeper inside each of these objects. And when I hit Enter, I'm taken to that same matching keyword, which is awesome. Again, I don't have to expand each individual object. I don't have to scroll through all of my objects or scroll through all of these properties until I find the one that I want. I can just use search like I would in any other typical search engine, which is fantastic. It's honestly amazing that we as human beings have managed to live this long without having search engines for the longest time. I still don't know how I did it. Just 10 plus years ago was crazy. Alright, and that was search for the autos, locals, and watch windows. So this is a Visual Studio 2019 exclusive feature. If you've been trying it out and you're super excited about it and are ready to make your life a bit more productive when you're constantly having to inspect hundreds of items in the watch window, then you should definitely check this out if you already have 2019 installed. But if you don't have Visual Studio 2019, you can go download it at visualstudio.com. And with that, happy coding.


Welcome everybody, Masha'Allah, today is our second session talking about tips here of Surat An-Nabba. Last time we started with the first few ayahs and we mentioned that the non-believers are asking and they are inquiring. But the way they are inquiring, they are inquiring about something great. This something is something that they don't want to understand. They don't want to believe in. They don't want to get more information about. The only thing they are asking is that because they are mocking and they are making fun and even if they get enough information to believe in, they are opposing it. They are belaying it. So they are asking about the great news which is the day after which they are in disagreement. But Allah SWT severely threatens and severely warns those people, those who deny the day after because they will come to know and they will know what is this day after. So Allah SWT will go on and he will talk about the day after. But before he starts talking about the day after, Allah SWT for a little bit is going to talk about something else. So he is not going to talk about the day of judgment. He is going to bring proofs of his abilities and his power. And we will know later why he is going to do that. So from ayah 6 till ayah 16, Allah SWT is going to give us visual proofs. So he will start by saying, Have we not made the earth as a bed as an established firm resting place for people? So Allah SWT has created earth and prepared it for his slaves. So Allah started now here in this ayah, Allah SWT started with the earth that will live on. Allah made this earth as mihada. In Arabic the word mihada means a bed, a comfortable bed. So this is the first sign that Allah SWT has created. Then he moved to talk about al-jibal, the mountains. So he says, And the mountains as pegs. So what is the relation now here? We have earth, we have mountains. The word autada in Arabic is a word that is used to make things firm. So the word pegs makes you feel that something is firm. So the mountains here, the one that Allah SWT has a role to make the earth firm. How? The earth moves and shakes. So the mountains are like the pegs of a tent that makes the tent firm. So the mountains make the earth firm in place. But why did Allah SWT give the picture of the pegs here? He did so to make it closer to the mind of the people who lived in tents at that time when the Quran was revealed. So they know how useful the pegs are to their tents. They live in tents and they have to make the tents, their tents were huge. They have to have huge pegs to hold the tents firm. So this is an example of something that they use. They know something they know and something they make themselves and something they can see by their eyes. So this is an example of their own environment. There are different types of pegs. The big, the strong. And also we have different types of mountains. We have huge mountains. We have big mountains. We have high mountains. And also we have just low, tidy, small mountains. I'm sorry to interrupt you, but one of the questions from the audience is which surah are we on right now? Surah al-Nabba. We are in Surah al-Nabba and we are on Aya 7. This is the first surah of Juzat 30. And if you are having the Quran with you, it's on page 582. If you are having the same Quran, page numbering. You're welcome. So now, Allah SWT says, these are, now we have the mountain, we have the earth and we have the mountains. So Allah SWT, it's not a coincidence that he found these miracles. That he created these miracles. But that's not enough. These are just two signs. Allah SWT is going to go on. So he says, وَحَلَطْنَاكُمْ اَزْوَاجَا And we have created you in pairs. Male and female. So reproduction is achieved. And for people, Allah SWT has subjected the earth. Now see the connection between the ayahs. So everything is related to everything. So he has created people in pairs. Then we made sleep for you. وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتَا So what does this mean? Allah SWT, we said, we have made your sleep as a thing for rest. We all perform a function and go and come and do this and that and this and that during the day. But we need some time to rest. So sleep and rest are important for us. Sleep was created by Allah SWT. It's one of the greatest bounty Allah SWT has made for people. So when we are super tired, when we are sleepy, we take a nap. We go to bed. If we have an intention before going to bed, then we can move this thing from being something that we are going to enjoy into Al-Bada. How can we do that? If we have an intention before we go to bed that, ya Allah, we are going to rest. Yes, we are going to go to do this just for your sake so that when we get up, we will be fresh again. We will have energy back again so we will be ready to worship you. So we gained the pleasure of Dunya and the reward of Al-Fira.  How? So when someone sleeps, then he can do nothing. He is sleeping. Death is a longer sleep. For both, both ears have a stop of movement. But the difference is with sleep, we can go back to life. We can function again. We can have another day. We can have another time that we are going to do things again. But for death, halas, that's it. So Allah SWT has created sleep, has made sleep for us just to rest. We made the night as a covering. A covering of what? The night is dark. So its shade and darkness cover everything. In older days, when thieves wanted to go to rob something, they would go at night.  They don't care. But darkness covers everything. Anything can be done in darkness. So a known sleep is from the bounties that Allah SWT has given us. So a night is an indication for darkness. It's an indication for sleeping. And whether it is actually done during the day or during the night, sleeping is something very important.  They give him sedation so that he sleeps. When he sleeps, the minute he falls, the minute he sleeps, then his pain stops. He won't feel the pain. Until he wakes up again, the pain will come back. So during the sleep time, he didn't feel the pain. And this is a blessing. So what is suffering actually is the soul itself, but not the hurt organ. So this is the mercy of sleeping. This is the mercy of falling to sleep. So the night is a cover. People are sleeping. And we have made the day as means of sustenance. We made it luminous. We made it shining so that people would move around, that would be able to go to work, to earn for their living. So the day is nothing but means of trying to get provision. Everyone is responsible. Some people are responsible for themselves. Some people are responsible for their mothers, for their fathers, for their siblings, for their families, for the husband is responsible for the wife, for the children. So everyone needs to work. And they can do that during the day. It will be so refreshing. It will be so helpful to have the day to work and to get the sustenance. And we have built above you seven strong. What are these seven? They are the seven heavens in their vastness, in their perfection. Imagine that if you want to build a house, you will have poles to hold the walls, the ceiling, the roof and everything. Look at the skies. There is not a single pole that would hold the skies. This is perfection. This is what Allah has created and he perfects when he creates. He created the seven heavens in layers. And this is what he says in Surah Al-Mulk, which is created seven times, one above the other. So he created the seven heavens with all moving stars. And each star goes around and moves in its own orbit, in its own path. If one star moves away from its path, then disasters will happen. So Allah has created and has perfected what he created. Wa-ja'alna siraja muhaja. And we have made a shining lamp. So the radiant sun that gives light to earth Allah created this earth. So imagine the uncountable benefits of the sun to the earth. Imagine if the sun was a little closer to us, what will happen? Or imagine if it was a little further for us, what will happen? This is creation and perfection. Wa-ja'alna siraja muhaja. We have made a shining lamp in the sky that will benefit the earth and everyone who lives on the earth. Wa-anzalna min al-mawsirati ma anthajaja. And we have sent down from the clouds water in abundance. Al-mawsirat, the clouds. The clouds that are filled with rain that pour out continuously. So thajaja is continuous flowing. Sometimes it rains here. Sometimes it rains in another country. Sometimes it rains in both countries. Sometimes so it's continuous flowing. But why did Allah SWT send down this abundance, this khayr, this water? Why did He send it down? This rain. So that we may produce there with grain and vegetables. So great benefits will come out of this rain, which we will get so much fruit, so much plants, so much. The earth will give us its khayr, its bounties. And this is all for you people. So not only just grains and vegetables, wa-janatin al-fafa. Also gardens that are vast, that are of luxurious growth. Gardens of countless varieties of taste and fragrances. Imagine the countless number of fruits we have. Whatever is produced so that people would feed on. So with these ten ayahs, what happens? Allah SWT has given us examples of true, powerful, majestic things that He has created. So these powerful visual proofs are true. No one can deny them. And no one can even claim that He has created these remarkable things. No one. So Allah SWT is the Creator. He is the only Creator. He is the Almighty. He is the Eternal. He has created everything and everybody in this dunya. He sent us prophets and He sent us messengers. Why? If a man in that, your son did something that you didn't like, so you don't punish him. He will look at you and he will say, Mama, you never told me that I am not supposed to do this. And he is right. In order not to have the same picture in the day after, when Allah SWT will punish those who disobeyed, but how would they know that they disobeyed? Allah SWT sent prophets and sent messengers. He gave them a message to people. He told them. He threatened. He gave glad tidings. So people have the choice now. They have the choice to know that if they follow, then they will be rewarded. If they disobey, they will be punished. So with all this that Allah SWT has done, some people are still denying the day of judgment. They are still denying resurrection. They cannot understand how would a body be resurrected, be recreated again after it became clay, became dust, it became nothing. Well, just we have to think about a fact. It's much easier to have resurrection than to create everything from nothing. Because the things that are resurrected were already there. They are originally there. But creating them from the beginning is something that's amazing, something that's a miracle. Resurrection is not something as hard to be done. Resurrection is easy. It was easy that Allah SWT created everything. It was so easy to create everything by Allah SWT. And it is easy to resurrect people, to get them into accounting. Now, so with these proofs, it's better for you not to keep denying the day of judgment. Better for you, for this group to believe in the day of judgment. Now, Allah SWT, Allah Almighty will shift now from talking about these amazing things that He has created. So He will shift to talk about the day of judgment, the day of sorting. And what will happen during that day? So Allah SWT will start talking about the day of judgment by saying, So verily, the day of decision is a fixed time. What is fassal? Fassal is to separate things. So there will be a separation. There will be a sorting in the day of judgment. For the winners and the losers. For those who follow the rules and for those who did not follow the rules. For those who worshipped and for those who denied. So, This day of judgment is a set appointment. When the time comes, then they won't shift a minute, a second forward or backward. The day of judgment, nobody knows when it will be. But everybody is sure that those believers, I mean, those believers will know that the day of judgment will start for all people at the second of their death. How? Because when they die, when people die, they will know where their final destination will be. Is it paradise or hellfire? This is why people, believers, they try their best to do whatever they can. It's not for a second here. We will remember the Hadith, the narration of Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. No one will enter paradise by their deeds except for the mercy of Allah, except for the mercy of Allah. So, the mercy of Allah will get everybody, everybody, whoever is going to be in paradise. So, they will get in paradise because of the mercy of Allah. They asked Him, He asked Him, He said, Allah will have mercy only. So now, okay, we have to stop for a second. So, why are we doing good deeds then? We can depend on the mercy of Allah. We are in paradise. Okay, now, let's talk a little bit about why. In jannah, there are levels in jannah. In each level, there is Allah s.w. prepared things for the people who are entering jannah. For each level, the bounties and the khayr is different from that in the other heaven, in the higher heaven. So, we are getting into jannah by the mercy of Allah s.w. But we are placed, our rank in jannah, our level in jannah, the step we will be in jannah, the maqam we will be in jannah is according to our deeds, is according to our good deeds. We need to have good heart, sound heart. So, this is what we are working on in this dunya. So, Yawmul Fasli is a set appointment that we are going, all of us, we are going to go and to have this appointment. Who will have a meeting with Allah s.w. Yawm yunfakhu fissoori fata'tuna afwaja So, the day when the trumpet will be blown, and you shall come forth in crowds. So, Allah s.w. will order the angel to blow the trumpet to start the day of jannah, so that people will come again. So, how would people come? Afwaja in groups, one group after the other. So, what are these groups? Each nation will come with its messenger. Allah s.w. says in Surah Al-Israa, يوم ندعوا كل إناسم بإمامهم On the day we call people by their messengers to receive their records. Each and every person in the day of judgment will wish that they belong to the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad s.w. even the prophets. What an honor for us. What a great blessing for us that we are chosen to be of the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad s.w. Sayyidina Muhammad s.w. will practice mercy on that day for his nation. Each and every prophet will be on his pulpit of light in the day of judgment except for Sayyidina Muhammad s.w. His pulpit is empty. He will be running from hellfire to paradise. He will keep arguing with Allah s.w. until he gets his ummah into Jannah. So, كل إناسم يدعون بإمامهم. يا حبيبي يا رسول الله A blessing that suffices us. We are of the nation of Sayyidina Muhammad s.w. Also, as we said, there will be groups. There will be groups of liars. There will be groups of those who got unlawful sustenance. Groups of people who admire their accounts, their actions. Groups of people who are bad to each other. Groups of people who are bad to their neighbors. Group of people who are proud of themselves. Every single, there are groups of everything that you can imagine. Groups of people who backbite. Groups of people who do bad things. Group of people who spread bad news. Group of people who would make people desperate. Groups. So, people will come. تأتون فواجه. وفوتحة السماء وفكانت بوابة. And the heavens shall be opened. And it will become gates. So, what does the heaven shall be opened? In Surah Ibrahim ayah 48, الله سبحانه وتعالى says يوم تبدأ الأرض غير الأرض والسناوات. On the day, the earth will be replaced by another earth. And the heavens as well. So, everything will change. Skies will change. The earth will change. Everything. So, if the earth will change, so what will happen to the mountains? وصورة الجبال وفكانت سرابة. And the mountains shall be moved away, shall be removed from their places. And they will be as a mirage. No more mountains. The function that they were using, that they were doing in this dunya, they are needed for it. In Surah Al-Qarih ayah 5, الله سبحانه وتعالى says وَتَكُونُوا الْجِبَالُوا كَلْعِهْنِ الْمَنْفُوْشِ So the mountains, the huge mountains that we see now, it will be like who fluffed up. In Surah At-Taha, he says وَيْسَأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنْسِفُهَا رَبِّيْنَسْفَا So, and when they ask you about the mountains, some say, my Lord will blow them away with a blast. No more mountains. So what's going on now? Everybody will be facing Allah سبحانه وتعالى.  So for those who are losers, something is waiting for them. اِنَّ جَهَنَّ مَكَانَتْ مِرْصَادًا So hellfire is waiting in preparation. Waiting for those who will be thrown in it. So in Surah At-Tanmul, Allah سبحانه وتعالى سَسْتَ كَادُ تَمَيْزُوا بِنَ الْغَيْضِ It's waiting. It's almost bursting with rage. When people are thrown in it and it will be asked, هَلِمْ تَلَأْتِ Are you full? And then the fire will say, هَلْمِنْ مَزِيدْ Will there be more? I'm ready for more. I'm prepared for more. So waiting for those who will be thrown in it. And what a loss it will be. What a loss this is. The final destination for those who are not preparing themselves for the Day of Judgment. Who are those? It's for those for the transgressors, for the disobedience, for those who rejected. It's a place of return for those people. لَا بِثِينَ فِيهَا أَحْقَادًا They will dwell therein for ages. They will be in it for ages. So what is أحقابة? What's the age? For ages there is no specific period of time. Meaning eternity. Eternity in Hellfire. So the word حقب, sometimes they say the word حقبة in Arabic means 70 years. And remember that each day in Hellfire, in the Day of Judgment, equals to 1000 years in this dunya. So whenever one period, one حقبة, one period ends, come to an end, then what will happen? A new period will start. So the people of Hellfire, they will stay for one period in Hellfire. Then what will happen? They will be taken out. They will be taken to see the people of Paradise. So they will have some hope. And then they will go back to Hellfire to start another حقبة, another new period. So whenever a period ends, a new period will start. And they will be there in continuous punishment. So لا يزوقون فيها برضا ولا شرابا What will happen to them? Nothing cool shall they taste and they will be there in فيها, in Hellfire. ولا شرابا nor any drink. They will not find any coolness in Hell. They will not find any drinks in Hell, except. So as soon as someone hears the word except, then they will start to think, oh, okay, then there might be something good. There might be some mercy, but except حميما وغساقا except a boiling fluid. What is that boiling fluid? It's حميم and غساقا. So the حميما is the heat that has reached its maximum temperature. This is the type of fluid they will be offered. Was boiling and boiling and boiling and boiling. There is not anything extra, any more heat that can be added to that fluid. غساقا غساقا is the sweat, the tears, the wounds of the people of Hellfire. So this is their drink. This is what they are going to be offered in Hellfire. Nothing cool, not a sip of water, except boiling fluids. Okay, so this is the punishment. But why? Why is all that punishment? Allah SWT says, we have not treated them unfairly. No. So all of this punishment is an exact fitting recompense. It's just a punishment. A punishment that's in accordance with their wicked deeds, which they did during their lives. They did not believe in anything. They did not want to believe in anything. They did not want to do anything that will benefit them in their day after. Why? Because for verily, they used not to look for a reckoning. They did not believe in the fact that they will be resurrected and they will be held accountable for their deeds. So if someone does not believe in punishment, then he can do anything. So if there is no system, then there will be chaos. They did not want to believe that there is a day after. And that's why they did everything. Whatever they wanted, they were hideous. They did not believe. They did bad things to themselves, not knowing that they will be punished for everything they will be doing. If we want to ask the question, what would prevent someone from doing anything bad? The first question will be be conscious. When someone has in himself the idea that whatever I'm doing, Allah is looking at me. Whatever I'm saying, Allah is looking at me. Whatever I'm dealing with, Allah is looking. We have to have ihsan in our deeds. Because we know that Allah has assigned two angels on our shoulders. They are writing the good deeds and the bad deeds. For them, they did not believe in that. They did not want to believe that they will be held accountable for their deeds. There is not a voice inside them to tell them that Allah is overwatching us and Allah is going to get us on the day of judgment to get us punished or rewarded. So they They treated our signs as false. They used to deny all the evidences of Allah SWT. They denied all his proofs. But We have preserved everything in records. All the deeds are recorded. So all of us are going to meet Allah SWT. All of us are going to be in front of him. All our deeds will be presented to him. And it will be scaled for us. And Sayyidina Omar says If someone finds good, then he has to thank Allah SWT. And if he finds something else, then he should blame only himself because he did that for himself. فَذُوْقُ فَلَنْ لَزِيدَكُمْ إِلَّا عَلَابَى Taste the fruits of your deeds. They will continue increasing in torment forever. So we will stop here, insha'Allah. But next time we will be talking about the winners, the righteous people, insha'Allah. وَصَلْمُ اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيْدِدِنَا مُحَمَّةُ وَعَلَى أَهْرِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلْمِ يا ربَّنا لَكَ الْحَمْدُكَ مَا يِنْ بَغِيلِ جَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ وَعْضِيمِ سُلْطَانِكِ اللهم إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَأْلَكَ وَسَأَلَكَ مِنْهُ عَبْتُكَ وَنَبِيُكَ مُحَمَّةٌ صَلْمُ اللَّهُ عَلِيْهِ وَسَلْمِ وَنَعَوْضُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرْرِ مَسْتَعَادَكَ مِنْهُ عَبْتُكَ وَنَبِيُكَ مُحَمَّةٌ صَلْمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلْمِ يا الله, please pass our salam and regards to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and we finish by and we pray to Sayyidina Muhammad and his family and his companions and peace and blessings of Allah be upon you
