So Dana, welcome back. Yeah, you join us regularly. And we always love to have you, but for our viewers and listeners that maybe might be joining us for the first time, you are hearing and possibly seeing Dana Skirlock, Director of Recruitment at Staffing Boutique. Welcome back Dana. Thank you so much. It's always a pleasure to be here and thanks for having me on again. I'm so excited about today's topic. It's one of my favorite. You know, Dana, it's a new year's kind of Q1 topic, resumes, because so many people say, okay, I'm gonna get a new job or I'm gonna make a change or whatever. And I think this kind of pops up, but you and I had decided this, we were gonna do this show. And lo and behold, last week in the New York Times, there was an article about digital resumes and it was kind of chilling because it followed this trajectory. Talk to us about what the entire digital piece of this looks like before we start asking you specific questions. Sure. And I'm so glad that you mentioned this article earlier when we were just in the waiting room, we were discussing it. And I haven't read it in depth yet, so I definitely wanna get ahold of it and take a look at it. But I think it's gonna be interesting as my feedback on resumes is very anecdotal, just the function of having looked at so many over the years and screening so many candidates versus like the New York Times, I'm sure has done a very comprehensive like data focused study on it. And so I'll be interested to see how our opinions kind of line up. But just to give folks listening at home a little background on where I started career-wise, I began as what we call a candidate recruiter or a recruiting assistant in the staffing industry. And so essentially what I was doing is I was receiving hundreds upon hundreds of resumes. My job was to review all of them, find out who was appropriate for the jobs that we had on file or that were open currently and then start making outbound calls and pre-screening those candidates on behalf of the firm. And so during that time, I probably screened thousands of resumes over the course of like the two and a half years I was a candidate recruiter.  So when I first started in 2008, the logistics of what it looked like to review hundreds of resumes was that I had to go print out a ton of resumes, manually review them, and then from there add them into a system, into a database system of who I was interested in moving forward with or people that we wanted to save for later, perhaps. And so because of the manual nature of that, I think resumes being one page, for example, like that was sort of the adage that we all got from the time. Probably we were in high school when we were doing sort of this home act job training classes. We were told you could only have a one page resume. I think that that made sense up until maybe the 2010s when now I never review a resume by paper even when I go to career fairs and I'm in person meeting with people, I'm able to get a digital copy from them pretty instantaneously. And also just in thinking about using as little paper as possible, containing resources, we don't wanna go back to printing hundreds of documents for disposable type of usage for it. So I think that it's great that everything's digital now. What that lends itself to though is that we don't have to confine ourselves to just one page. And if for my money, when I'm reviewing resumes, I would rather have more information than less. And I think having candidates sometimes with 15, 20, 30 years of experience, even as little as five to seven years of experience, it's really hard to keep it to one page. And so you're really getting sort of an anemic description of what their background is to be able to make a hiring decision quickly. And with everything being as so quick these days, everyone wants jobs filled right away, candidates want feedback right away, we're expecting information to travel very quickly. We I think are doing ourselves a disservice by sending out resumes that don't have all the information on them. Because what that means is that the person reviewing them can't really assess your full background. And so more likely than not, you'll just be discarded and not called back for further interviews or even to get your foot in the door to even get a phone interview to start unless you have enough information on the resume for the person reviewing it to go off of. And so obviously there's a limit to that. We don't necessarily wanna see six page resumes or five page resumes. So you don't wanna be overly verbose or overexplained, but definitely making sure that you take the time to give a detailed analysis of your previous work and experience, even if that goes over one page it's gonna be really paramount. Dana, I have to ask you because there's this platform you might have heard of it. This is sarcasm called LinkedIn, right? Of course. And I feel like our digital resume is constantly available. It is constantly looked at whether we're really seeking a new opportunity or not. So I feel like this digital resume, like it has moved beyond even sending it into a possible employment opportunity. It resides as really our like trophy case, if you will, online. How does that play a role as a reference? I wanna say to job seekers. Sure. I think that LinkedIn has become a wonderful resource in terms of getting information about candidates very quickly to hiring managers and getting information to job seekers too for my money because we're on the staffing end. I think that where it can become tricky is when people are utilizing LinkedIn in place of an actual CV or resume. So for example, I'll have candidates contact me and say, I'm interested in hearing about what jobs you have or I'm interested in moving into a new position this year. Here's my LinkedIn profile and not attached to resume at all. And so I think there are some people who are sort of ahead of the curve and using LinkedIn in place of a resume and then you've got people that don't have enough information on LinkedIn. I think my goal when I'm working with a candidate is to make sure that the resume, the actual hard copy resume that you're sending in places and the LinkedIn record tell the same story. So where LinkedIn has a lot more visual aids where LinkedIn you can get more of a snapshot, you don't want it to be so incongruent with what your actual resume is that people are asking you for a CV after they look at your LinkedIn and then it's kind of a completely different focus on your resume or vice versa. Because when you send your resume in nine times out of 10 hiring managers are probably going to your LinkedIn and then reviewing your information there at least at some point during the interview process. It might not be from moment one when they get your resume or even on the first interview but eventually they're going to be looking for it and expecting to see one as well. I think there's some candidates too that have websites devoted to their freelance work like let's say if you're in marketing or communications it's super helpful to have an online presence. And what I would say is that what's most important is making sure that all of those sources tell the same story about your background and what it is that you want to be doing next. So if you are wanting to move into let's say higher management, upper management within a nonprofit and your LinkedIn profile doesn't reflect that it's hard for people to sort of see you in that next position that you're applying to get promoted into. So I think for transitional candidates it's really pivotal. I think when you're head hunting someone who is a CEO and has been for the past 10 years or something it can be something where you can kind of have some flexibility but I really I love LinkedIn. I think it has become a bit of a social media minefield like people are posting things that are not business related so much anymore but I do think that the core of it is still super helpful for job seekers and hiring managers alike. But yeah, it's interesting to see how people are utilizing a LinkedIn profile almost as they're calling card. Instead of business cards, like you said physical business cards I would go to luncheons with and things. Now it's just find me on LinkedIn, find me on LinkedIn, message me there. And you can scan and do all these things. Well, it brings me to the quality versus quantity. I mean, even I as a consultant am asked for my resume and I will say I just use the PDF version of LinkedIn because it's up to date and that's kind of what I'm doing but I'm not seeking true full-time employment. So for those that are talk to us about the two cues and how they battle one another. So quality versus the quantity what does that look like now when it comes to sending our resumes? Sure. I think in previous years when you were let's say even mailing a resume in I used to get them by hard mail and into the office when I was a candidate recruiter this was back in 2007 to faxing resumes to having to print resumes out. There was a cost associated with being a candidate and sending out resumes and having to print them and send them. And I think people proofread very, very carefully. They made sure that the resumes were in the absolute best shape possible because they knew that it was gonna cost them money to have these applications put out there. I think that with the digital age and things becoming so accessible some of the quality has waned to some degree because I'll get hundreds of resumes and whereas I may only see one resume with a typo or a spelling or a grammatical error I'm seeing swaths of them with mistakes in them per like let's say hundred resumes I'm seeing. And I think some of that is just that we're all quick on the phone, we're doing things fast we're spelling things quickly we have spell check for most things we're texting and so we're using slang and certain acronyms and things that sometimes fall into business emails and resumes. And I think that can dilute people's applications because even with me catching everything I was an English major so it's a little bit easier for me than some people even with me looking out for things some things are gonna fall through the cracks and it can be the difference between you getting an interview for a job or not. So that said how I feel about making if you're in the position where you're looking for a new full-time salaried position and you know that those are competitive to get and you're in the midst of the job search I would rather send out five really high quality well thought out tailored resumes to the particular job you're applying to then if you're able to crank out 2025 in a week just to get 20 to 25 out because it's more about the retention or the response rate so you know how we judge emails now marketing emails by how many people opened it how many people responded back that's the kind of data that we're crunching right and most companies are it's the same thing with the resumes I think it's much more important to see how like what percentage of resumes that you send out are getting a hit back versus that you're sending out you know so many a week and if you're not hearing back that's when you can kind of diagnose there's something going on with the way that I'm submitting my resumes. I often will advise candidates that I'm speaking with to tailor their resume to the particular job because inevitably what ends up happening is that someone will apply for a job and because I'm a recruiter I have more time than most hiring managers to be on the phone speaking with them about the job right because most hiring managers they're only talking to the top few people that they really think are fit so most people don't get a callback so because I have a little bit more time I can spend a little bit more time like kind of judging the resume and talking to them about their background inevitably people will tell me things like well I actually did work at an organization like that it was five years ago but it's not on my resume because blah blah blah blah there's always like a slew of reasons why they didn't put it in and my question is always like well if you knew you were applying to this job before you sent your resume why is that not incorporated and their response is usually always I just didn't think to or during this conversation with you is when I sort of remembered this volunteer experience that I have that pertains to this or if it's an international organization oh I actually lived there for six months you know in the region that this international organization works with those are things that need to be in your cover letter in the resume incorporated into your email to the clients and the hiring managers so that they can actually see that because if it's not on your resume it's as good as if you never did it because you may not get to the next round to mention it and so that but then I am sympathetic because I do understand that takes a lot of time as a job seeker to sit and tailor each resume and really tailor each cover letter because what I'm usually getting are sort of canned cover letters with a different name you know applied each time in a different address but the content is usually pretty much the same I proclaim not a huge fan of cover letters but that's neither here nor there so for all of that I would say if you spend the time that you would spend applying to 50 jobs to really taking your time and thinking about okay here's what this job is requiring here's what this organization says there about how can the things I would say during an interview someone were to call me now saying hey I want to meet with you about this job that's what I they need to see in my resume and where you can incorporate it more than once so for example if you're applying to something that has to do with database work or some sort of technical skill mentioning it once in the skills section is great but what would be even better is if it's in the skills section and you have a bullet point about it on the job that you use the software and outlining what you did with it day to day what version it was where you were trained on it at a previous job you know having it so that when they're looking for that database or for a certain technical skill it's coming up three to four times on your resume they're gonna call you if they see your resume if it's that compelling but if you just mentioned it once or not at all and people will have things not on their resume at all and say that they know something or have skills in something and so it's hard to reconcile that both on my end and also when I submit a resume to a client the pushback I'll often get is I just don't feel this person has expertise in this if it's not on their resume and then I can't get the person in an interview even if they do have the experience so that's why it's important you know it's such a fascinating topic and especially when we think about the amount of time we spend on the nonprofit show talking about relationships talking about relationships and fundraising keeping our staff I mean serving our clients and I'm wondering if when we back up a little bit on the quantity versus the quality issue how do you feel about follow-up you know doing that did you get my resume versus just sending it off and you know the pray and spray kind of concept hoping that somebody responds what's your sense of that like are you like get away from me I'll let you know if I'm interested or does that bump that person up? I think it can go both ways as you're describing I think that if you're working with a recruiter we're used to hearing back from candidates far more often than actual hiring managers with internally at a nonprofit and since we are sort of an impartial third party I encourage candidates to follow up with me if they ever are like concerned or if they're worried about their application 99.9% of the time the issue is just that I have not heard back yet and so they're going to get a quick answer for me saying hey I haven't heard back yet I will let you know as soon as I do but I don't mind that because I understand that they've been engaged and we've submitted their resume and I have no problem hearing from them I think it's tricky when you're applying on your own to something you don't want to follow up too much and become a pest and you don't want to follow up too soon because I think the thing to remember is most people are not recruiters and so they don't have all day to work on hiring the way I do so they're doing all of their other job duties and then on top of that they have two positions in the department that they're working on so responding to resumes is important for them but it's not the number one job duty that they're completing at any one time and so it can take them some time to go through those responses so just being patient with them I would say following up no sooner than like a week since you've applied maybe even two weeks I would say if you've looked at a job listing and it has a specific email address that you sent your resume to since it's going to a specific person I think following up after a week and then waiting a couple more weeks and then maybe sending one last check-in I think could be good I think that any more than that and you're really going to become a pest and plug up their inbox versus something that's sort of reasonable but again it depends on the hiring manager their personality if they're somebody who wants let's say it's a development job where being persistent is part of the job they might look to see people that follow up if it's a position that's more administrative or in finance or something Right the hiring manager may find it more off-putting so unfortunately there's not like a can like answer for this but I would say that most hiring managers and most job ads now are doing a better job of outlining what the process will be for the hiring so if it says in the email we will contact you if we're interested that's a sign that you don't need to follow up if it doesn't say anything like that I would say a week or two afterwards and you follow up one time perhaps a second time to follow up and then that's it I think that's more than reasonable and sometimes I do look at somebody followed up and they send a nice message and they say that they're very interested maybe give me a specific reason they're really interested and that's why they wanted to follow up that's something that I may say okay let me bump this person out because they're clearly engaged and they've done their research and looked into the job description thoroughly and said hey I'm really excited about this about the job and I wanted to follow up with you that again it goes back to quality versus quantity like if you're just sending out hey I sent my resume last week please let me know sincerely so and so means far less than a very specific email that's addressed particularly to a person and has more details in it So it was part and parcel to that we got a question that just came in and the question is how do you follow up if you did not get an interview or you didn't get the job? You know back in the day it was like a handwritten note thank you for seeing me and you know think about it and so where does that live? Does that type of communication still exist or do we just need to be like next? I think that it's nice to have some touches some contact touches as we say so for example if they engaged you by phone and did a phone interview but then let you know you didn't get the job shooting an email saying thank you so much for your time I hope do we consider it for future positions I think it's totally fine if you came in in person and met with the hiring managers or at least in this day and age like a Zoomer or Google Meets like virtual interview I think it's more than fine to contact them to just thank them for their time and I think most hiring managers are actually kind of looking for that to kind of close the loop but I would say if you have heard back that you haven't received the position following up months later or like repeatedly not so much but certainly having that one touch base of just to thank the person for interviewing you expressing again why you were interested in the position wishing them luck on the placement because honestly people start jobs and they don't necessarily continue with them for whatever that reason may be people have reasons they have to leave town unexpectedly people have illnesses emergencies within their family like you never know when that job will reopen and so if you really close the loop and have left things in very good standing with the people that you interviewed with you could be the first call that they make when the job is reopened or when they have another job with another department but within the same organization you'll be someone if an organization is diligent about hiring and keeping track of who they've spoken with and have a database of candidates which almost all are now I think back in the day they really were kind of relying on pens and paper and not keeping track of those types of things and now even with Excel people can do it so I often talk to clients who are saying well we have our database of candidates the people that have applied before so we'll be able to cross check who you're sending us to make sure it's not somebody that we already have so most people are able to do that now in which case you wanna be one of those people that had reached out to them to thank them I think a handwritten note isn't necessary anymore if anything if you've interviewed like three or four times in person for a job and they didn't give you the job I would think more so they would be giving you a thank you note as an employer so it's also give and take I always am telling candidates you don't have to feel like it's just about you being evaluated and judged it's also a chance for you to evaluate the organization and the only way you can evaluate it is by the interactions you have with their staff and through the interview process so it goes both ways I love that you said that we don't have a lot of time I wanna make sure that we get to the formatting issue and again because people are doing this online in a digital capacity formatting talk to us about this cause you're saying use reverse chronology and then you mentioned this earlier but making sure that you link back to the duties and the tasks to drill down more efficiently what you're capable of doing right sure I cannot stress how much a reverse chronological resume that's very straightforward it's so much easier and quicker to read and evaluate than functional resumes where the issue is and I think sometimes when I'm talking to candidates with those types of formats it saves space yes which is great but what ends up happening is as the person reviewing the resume you're trying to piece together when this person did this job duty for all I know if you've just listed your jobs in the year it could have been 15 years ago that you did this particular job duty right and as recruiters what I'm evaluating is what job duties and what skills you have most recently what things have been done in the past and how that lines up with the goals of the organization and what requirements the organization has given me and the easiest way for me to see that is to see very comprehensively what you've been doing most recently so the easiest way to do that is to reverse chronology start with your current or most recent position list in a bulleted format the duties and tasks that you are responsible for including any technical responsibilities or database management any Microsoft systems that you use on the job and in what capacity like all of that can be there and as you go down the resume and we're looking at a job on maybe the second page that's from 2005 maybe it has less bullet points than the ones that are higher up like I think the most robust descriptions if you're worried about space are gonna be the ones that are the most recent and then you can kind of pair it back if it's for a job that's from your distant past or start to weed some of those jobs off if they don't apply to the particular job that you're applying to like if it's, as I was saying before if it's something that you would say during the interview it's great to have it on your resume even if it is old information but if it really doesn't pertain to the particular job and you are looking to save space I'd rather have more information on your most recent job and less on jobs that you've had previously. So then that kind of dovetails to highlighting some of these other things and you know, Jared and I are always coming up with connecting to people that are in professional organizations that really do continuing education within their professional organizations. This doesn't seem to be something that we used to really spend time on and again, maybe it was like a space issue but share with us in the few minutes we have left how you see this going. Sure. I think that this is really crucial for people who are trying to career shifters who are moving into the nonprofit sector. How else do you show an interest or passion within a sector that you've never worked in? One way is through volunteering professional organizations and groups like women in development or association of fundraising professionals any networking groups you belong to certifications that you've received courses at the foundation center or higher education that you take in professional development courses all of those things when it comes to nonprofits are really important. The corporate side I think that they also can be important but I would be less familiar with what those particular things are but for nonprofits volunteering isn't just a hobby it's something that helps the organization run.  And I don't think that you have to belabor the point they can be in one small section where you describe all of your networking experience all of your volunteer experience and it doesn't have to take up a lot of space but it's great to have it on there. Again, it's something that you would highlight during an interview and it's something that you would say hey, you know what I'm actually interested in your organization because I've done XYZ with this other organization that's something that you can use for your cover letter we're always looking for fodder for a cover letter rather than again sending a canned letter those are the types of things to incorporate in them. Okay, I have one last question for you. Sure. And that is to put a picture on or not to put a picture on what is the standard now? European resumes often come over with photos attached to them and I usually give them if I see that they've worked in Europe I give them a pass on that. I think it's dangerous territory because it's that formatting culture there. I think for us for the most part, no pictures no identifiers about your personal demographics anything like that. I think for the most part it's not viewed as professional and also it just is sort of asking for some level of discrimination not that people would ever intend to have discriminatory practices but it can lead to that even just in the fact that you're unfamiliar with the general professional formatting of resumes it's unusual. And nowadays you can save it for LinkedIn because almost all the hiring managers are gonna go there anyway. Great. Well, I feel like we need a part two because we went really fast over the last two and both Julie and I had way more questions to ask you and I'm grateful that we even had one of our viewers chime in this is exactly what this format is for. So please check out Dana Skirlock and Staffing Boutique that is staffingboutique.org Director of Recruitment Dana thank you you're always fantastic to, you know me nerd out with it's always great and I do think that this topic is something that we need to continue because the market is changing just as fast as technology is changing and so we need to stay on you know ahead of that when it comes to our resumes and seeking fruitful employment. So thank you for being here today. No problem, it's always a pleasure. So good to see you both. Thank you so much Dana. Again, I'm Julia Patrick CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy been joined today by the nonprofit nerd herself Jared R. Ransom CEO of the Raven Group. Again, amazing sponsors that joined us today to have this conversation with Dana. They include Bloomerang American Nonprofit Academy Nonprofit Thought Leader, Staffing Boutique your part-time controller 180 Management Group Fundraising Academy at National University JMT Consulting, Nonprofit Nerd and Nonprofit Tech Talk. These are the folks that join us day in and day out as we come up upon Jared Drumroll our 1000th show. I know March 5th, it's right around the corner right around the corner. All right everybody, we like to end every episode of the nonprofit show with this message and it goes like this, to stay well so you can do well.


So let's first talk about just showing for the ball, okay? Because as the center forward, your job is to hold up the plate, okay? So a lot of times the ball might get played out of the back. You need to be able to bring that ball down, keep it glued to your body, and have the strength to hold off defenders, and then the ability to play a pass to someone joining in on the attack or playing the ball all the way, okay?  What happens is everyone's trying to advance up the field and you lose the ball, okay? And they're going the other way. Everyone's coming this way, their team starts going that way, boom, counter attack, we're gonna get hurt, okay? So it's very important that you have the ability and confidence to bring down every pass that's whipped into you, okay? Shield that ball, use your body, use your strength, get your button from, use your big legs to shield the player off, have the quality of touch to keep it glued to your body, take that touch away from the defender, shield it with your arms with your body, like I said, and then you need to play that ball into someone joining, okay? So what we call that is hold up play. When that ball gets played into you from a defender, from a center midfielder, okay? You have to have the ability to hold that ball off, okay? Because a lot of times you get that ball and this defender's gonna be right here, okay? You need to be strong enough, so get lower to the ground, use your body, have a good touch out of your feet, and then play the ball into space, and then spin, get joined in the attack, okay? But that point there is your hold up play. If you are getting pushed off the ball or you're getting beat to the ball, okay, these are big problems or you're having a bad touch, these are big problems as a center forward. So you need to work on that, you need to work on your strength, you need to work on knowing where the defender is, so looking over your shoulder, and then protecting that ball. I want you to watch real strikers, real center forwards when they play it. Okay, when that ball is played into them, how do they shield it? How do they protect that ball? Because a lot of times it's glued to their foot, and they may not be the biggest player, but they make sure that this guy doesn't get the ball unless he fouls them, okay? So you got to work on those things. Now, next thing before I move on is playing the way you face, okay? So there will be times when the ball gets played into you here, and you may know that he's coming in hard, so the best thing to do is to roll him, is to spin him and turn, okay? You're gonna have to find out when. But a lot of times the best thing to do is play the way you face, so if that ball is played into me here, okay? It's trouble to turn like this. The best thing for you to do might be to play the way you face, so I'm facing my own goal. So I'm just gonna play a pass. Hopefully someone's making a run, play into here, and then turn. So if I receive the ball here, and I'm facing the goal, play the way you face, then yes, it's totally fine for me to go and attack, and actually you must, if you don't, then there's something wrong with you as a striker. Anytime you get a chance to go up a goal and get a shot as a striker, I want you to take it. I want you to want to take it. Don't be afraid to take it. Okay, but playing the way you face, think about that. So if I receive the ball and I know guys are on me, just make it simple, and a lot of times a simple pass is the best pass. Okay, and then you spin, and then he's gonna get close. He might play this ball back to you or play that ball out there into space. Okay, but play the way you face. Simplify it. Now saying that, I still want you to have the ability, and sometimes turning is the best thing. It will make life so easy for you. If you know he's coming in really hard, and you know there's space behind, then yes, you want to try to turn the defender and make him dive in, and then you get a great opportunity to score. Okay, but if you know that there's trouble this way, a lot of strikers, they get the ball and they're always trying to turn. They're always trying to turn into trouble, and that's a big problem. So have your head over your shoulder, realize where their space is. If there's no space, you're getting close down, then I'm just gonna simplify. I'm just gonna play the way I face. Okay, play it. I'm facing backwards. I'm just gonna play it backwards, or I'm just gonna play it to someone moving into space, but I'm gonna play it the way I face. Okay, think about that. So we talked about spinning and combining. Okay, so when you play that way you face, it's very important. You don't stay here because everyone's gonna come and close down.  So as you play that pass, both got played into you.  Okay, now you have to move off the ball movement. So either spin out here to get it to feet, or even better, you're gonna spin, sorry, so the ball gets played into here, defender tries to win it, you're just gonna play here, spin into space. You might clip one over the top or play a through ball into space here for you to run onto. Okay, but after you play that pass, move, spin, find new space, try to make a forward run, be unpredictable, always on the move. So let's talk about off the ball movement a bit because it's very important as a striker and you want to think about channel runs. So you have to work hard as a striker to provide options for your teammates. If you're the type of striker who always stays right here and just wants it to feet, you're very predictable and a lot of times a center defense midfielder just has to come here and screen and you're basically out of the game. So if you want to get more involved in the game as a striker, your off the ball movement is crucial. Okay, can you make runs into channels like this? Can you make runs into channels like this? Okay, and I would prefer if you can make your runs so you're still receiving the ball in the center third of the field. Okay, because the goal is here, you shouldn't be leaving this space for the wingers. Okay, you don't always want to receive the ball into this space heading to the corner flag with someone on your back. If you do, just turn play into space like this. Okay, but you want to try to make your runs so you're still in the center third of the field. So if you do receive the ball here, you're still in the center third. Okay, but what I'm getting at here is your off the ball movement. Like I said, if you're always staying still, you're easy to predict. So let's say someone has the ball here. Okay, where's your run? He has the ball is getting closed down. Can you make a run into here? Okay, or can you peel off into here still opening your body to the goal? So you get a chance to score. Okay, but making runs is a crucial scale of any striker. Don't stand still. Always think about what run can I make? How can I get into space? How can I receive the ball on the run? Because it's much easier for you to score if you're receiving the ball on the run than as if you're receiving the ball with someone on your back. Okay, where can I make the best run to receive the ball? And when you do try to make eye contact with the playmaker. Try to scream for the ball, call for the ball, point where you want it to get that ball. So you're running into space and get a chance on goal. Okay, so think about that. You want to be more involved, make more off the ball runs. So let's talk a little bit about before we get into the goal scoring. Let's talk about defending as a forward as a striker. Okay, I want you to be more of a past on defense. I say this all the time and what I mean by past is you never give the defender time to rest. You'll see a lot of times that strikers or forwards will just lay off and they let these guys pass the ball around the back and they don't really pressure them. I guarantee you, especially at an amateur or youth level, if you start pressing these defenders, because think about defenders aren't usually the most skilled players. They're not necessarily the most composed players either. So if you just start running at them, pressuring them, they're going to panic. They're going to kick the ball up the field and we're going to win possession or they're going to have a bad touch and you're going to win possession in a dangerous area. The same thing goes for pressuring goalkeepers. Goalkeepers have even worse touch and even worse composure. So if you start pressuring the goalkeeper right away, he's again going to kick the ball up. And you may think you didn't do anything, but because you forced him to make a quick decision and kick the ball up, we got possession of the ball. Even if we get possession way back here, that's huge. Having possession of the ball is probably the most important thing that your team can do at any time. The other team can't score if you have possession. So think about pressuring defenders, giving them a hard time. Now it's very hard for you to have any effect if you're the only one pressuring. If you're the only one pressuring and everyone else is staying back, then you're just going to burn yourself out and they're just going to move the ball around you. So it's important that your wingers and your midfielder are coming up to close the gaps. So closing off the second passes. So if you're on a team that doesn't press, your coach just wants you to sit back behind the halfway line, then that's a little different. But even still, when they get into these areas, you need to be pressing. You need to be doing your job, try to win the ball back. If you want to be more involved as a striker, work more on your pressing. Press the defenders full backs, press the goalkeeper especially, and you'll be surprised how many times they give up the ball, but also how many chances you get because of your pressing. Okay, so let's talk about goal scoring. And again, I talked about this in the other videos. Scoring goals isn't so much about skill and technique, it's about getting in the right spot. So number one, if you want to score more goals, make sure you're always in the box. And as a center forward, you should usually be the highest player on the pitch. So you need to be in the box. That should be self-explanatory. What I want to talk about first is your composure in front of goal. You may have experienced this yourself.  But you get in this area and you kind of get like a red haze. You don't really think about what you're doing. You just think about blasting that ball as hard as you can on net.  It's easy to panic when you have a goal scoring opportunity. It's easy to rush yourself.  Because a lot of times, if you can just stay calm, get your head up, see where the space is, pass it in the corner. It's so much easier than trying to shoot the ball as hard as you can and putting it over the net or putting it wide or just putting it right at the keeper, okay? Just simplify it. Be more composed. Take a deep breath. Realize, okay, yes, I have a bit of space, but I need to be composed. Where should I, how can I make this the easiest way to score possible? And a lot of times it's just getting your head up, looking at that corner and passing it in the corner, okay? So I challenge you to realize, to notice when you're panicking in front of goal and to ask yourself, could I be more composed? Could I just take a deep breath? Could I get my head up? Could I just pass it into the corner?  So as a striker, there will be times when you have a chance to shoot and there's other players in the box who want that ball, probably want that ball, but I challenge you to be greedy, okay? Don't worry about what these other players say. As a striker, you have to be wanting to take your shot every time you get the shot, even if sometimes it's not always the best option, okay? Because a lot of times you're going to score that goal and no one's going to say anything to you if you score that goal, okay? But saying that, you need to know, okay, I had three guys on me and I decided to take that shot and this guy wide open, okay? You have to realize that this is the right time to pass the ball to an open teammate, okay? But when there's a half chance or is a chance between, maybe you could have passed it, but if it's a 50-50, I want you to take that shot. So what I'm saying is be greedy. Don't be afraid or worried about other people yelling at you or being upset with you, okay? You have to be greedy as a striker. You have to want to take your shots because that's your job. That's your duty is to score goals for your team. If you don't score goals as your team, then I'm sorry, you're not a good striker. You need to work on that. And following this information, always working on your shooting every day, always wanting to get down the box, working on your finishing, you're going to become a better goal scorer. But start by being greedy, wanting to take those shots, okay? Actually, I just wanted to say one more thing. So let's say this is the center forward and there's a cross coming in, okay? Don't just jog into this area and say, okay, I'm here. I expect to get a chance, okay? Have purpose to your runs, okay? So don't just jog in. I need purpose.  So have purpose, okay? Give him something to aim at. If you're just in here between the defenders, he can whip it in, but you're not really giving him a target. You want him to see the purpose of your run, okay? He's sprinting to that front post. I'm just going to whip it front post and he's going to get a flick or he's really sprinting to that back post, okay? I'm going to clip it up to that back post and let him head it, okay? But what I'm getting at here is having purpose of your runs. Don't just jog into the box and expect to get the ball because you're in a good area. Sprint, have purpose. Sprint to that front post, sprint to that back post, or sprint.  A lot of ideas to think about.  You got to be greedy. You got to have to take your shots. Have no regrets when it comes to shooting. Take your shots when you get them. Get in that box as much as possible. Change your runs up, okay? Try to make runs into the channels, into space. Don't always just stay in the middle trying to hold the ball up. When you do have the ball, play the way you face, unless you know you looked over your shoulder and there's space. So I'm going to try to turn this guy with my first touch, okay? Keep it simple when there are other players around you. Hold that ball up. Use your body. Use your strength. Play that ball into space and then spin to get the ball back.


So alpha helices are fun because they're so much more diverse. We had orthogonal or aligned beta sheets but alpha helices they can be a complete mess in the structure or at least it looks like a mess right. There are no simple rules we talk that it's common that they cross each other say at 20 degrees or so but we can organize them in three dimensions so that these structures can be very complex and you can have a ton of different helices and lengths in them. Let's look a little bit at them. You see the hair that is literally three-dimensional. Each beta sheet was two-dimensional but there is no similar concept here that each helices form a two-dimensional structure of the helices. The helices pack in three dimensions which is what makes them more complicated. You could roughly start to sort this in a couple of classes or so. So maybe we have things that are more globe-infold like. Again I'll come back to what exactly what that is. You can have things that are more membrane protein like. Here we have kind of four subunits but the subunits are interacting with each other so the helices cross each other at an angle here but you will probably see that it's a bit more regularity and repeat here than in the globe in fold. You could also imagine having just four helices aligned so that they go up and down next to each other. It's a very nice ideal structure called four helical bundles or four helix bundles that we'll look at in a second. And all of these are useful in common structures that we will go through but the middle one I'm mostly going to talk about when we talk about membrane proteins in the next lecture.

Team keeping clean. It's the first of the month. Maybe April like literally flew by it seemed like we were in April for like maybe three or four days And that was it and now we already in May But I hope y'all are doing really really really good now I apologize in advance because I know we said we were gonna wrap up the draft these and whatnot that the Baltimore Raven selected this year and we will but I had to put that on pause because this is of the essence Patrick Queen fifth year option Ravens are forced To give us an answer on this within the next 24 and change hours because The deadline to pick up or decline the fifth year option for 2020 first round draft picks Is when may second that's tomorrow That's tomorrow And I got a reminder of that because I saw browns They picked up the fifth year option of of jedrick willis And I saw some other guys getting their fifth year options picked up And then I did see one get the client. It was a corner back on the panthers. I think but regardless I was like, oh, wait a minute something that we've been wondering and thinking about for the longest We're finally going to get an answer to and this the draft Like it was a beautiful time. This has been a beautiful For four or five days Because I know the draft was just three days, but within the past four or five days We have gotten a lot of questions answered and that's always my favorite part because we could speculate on this all day We could think about this all night. We could wonder what's going to go down here there everywhere But when it finally comes to fruition when we finally get questions answered I love it because it's satisfying Because we need to be right We'll be wrong Or maybe racially hit us with a curveball like they've been doing sometimes But with patrick queen Eric Dacosta has been asked about patrick queen on three separate occasions Two were at a presser. Well, all three were at presses as a matter of fact The most recent one being um after they drafted the linebacker, uh triton simpson When they drafted him because it's like, oh, you drafting an inside lineback and explosive inside like, oh, what about patrick queen? And they just continued Eric Dacosta gave he old patrick queen.   I think he said, um Oh, well, uh, we haven't made any decisions on that something like that in the second time He was like, oh, well, we'll we'll talk to patrick queen about that in private We don't want to answer that before we talk to him in private something like that And and he just been real mum on it now um, when we think about it Uh, if the fifth year option is declined If it's declined, let's talk about a couple of different scenarios Um, if it's declined then this will be the last year of patrick queen His rookie deal Because with the first round draft picks they have four year rookie deals with the fifth year option Um, and this will be the last year now It does not necessarily mean oh, that's a wrap for patrick queen If the fifth year option is declined Because they have they still have options on what they could do They could allow him to play out that fifth year option I mean, excuse me play out his last four year on the baltimore ravens and then after that He will be a free agent So they could have him they could keep him and I know a lot seen a lot of ravens fans envisioning this scenario Again, I still don't think it's gonna happen. I would love for it to happen. I hope that it happens Like I would love I would love to be wrong about this I would love to be wrong because y'all know as soon as they traded uh for roquan smith We said it right then in there. Oh, that's that's a wrap for patrick queen. This this is gonna be it for him They're gonna trade him away But I would love to be wrong about that. I would love it. That would make me really happy Like with lemar jackson y'all know early on this offseason. I thought lemar jackson was gone I thought he was gonna be out of here somebody even uh reminded me of it a couple days ago They sent me a message on facebook. They said you were wrong about lemar jackson And I replied to them great great Like i'm i'm glad to have been wrong about that because I wanted to stay I ain't wanting to leave But anyway, this whole patrick queen thing I would I would love to be wrong about this as well, but We'll see we'll see but anyway, um if they decline his fifth year option This will be the last year of his rookie deal with the baltimore ravens So they could either allow him to play it out. Um stay on a team this year Uh, or they they could still trade them. They could still trade them Now again, since there's still an option, we got to talk about it. They could also Sign them to an extension Patrick queen is now eligible because he's completed three years. He is eligible for a contract extension So if the ravens wanted to give him one they could They could So they have that option Um, so those are the three options with that. So again, he he played out this final year uh, and He stays with the ravens on this final year He plays out this final year and after this year he moves on to a different team Or he signs a contract extension or he could be traded. Uh, still this offseason So those are the options with that now the options if they pick up the fifth year option I mean pretty much the same options. It would just be an additional year added on to everything So if they pick up the fifth year option, then patrick queen would be under contract with the baltimore ravens this year and next year So they would have him for two more years Um, so that would be that Sorry, I just got thrown off guard because My dog just walked in here She just walked in here unannounced and I did not know I thought I closed the door poogie come here She kind of startled me a little bit. She's like come here So she say what's up to team keep it clean real quick But anyway, that's poogie. All right poogie. You got to move. That's it. So anyway Um, if they pick up the fifth year option, uh, they would have him for the next two years They could still trade him this season or they could trade him next off season Now if they traded him either this or next off season, then they would be able to get more now Uh, or whenever they traded him then they would if he left as a free agent and he got signed to a significant amount significant enough contract Uh, to where they would get a compensatory pick for him So if he signed a big enough contract somewhere else in free agency, then the following year The year after that then they would get a comp pick for one patrick queen But like I've been saying I just I don't envision them letting him ride it out like that Because they haven't done that. They just that hadn't been how they operate Uh, if it's a first round pick That they don't plan on signing They have gotten something now rather than later for them. See hayden hurst They weren't going to resign him what they do. They traded him See hollywood brown They weren't going to resign him what they do they traded him and they got something now rather than Letting him play out the the entire contract and then becoming a free agent and getting a comp pick Even Orlando brown jr. Who wasn't a uh first round pick They were like, you know what we're not going to sign him Let we're we're going to trade him pookie get out get out I ain't trying to have her knock the camera over and then that that would be a mess, but anyway, um, so so that's why I envision Patrick queen just not I I don't envision him being with the ravens Long term.  Let me be wrong about this I would not be mad at that at all because that will be quality of the quality is of depth Oh, that would that would just that would be great. I would love that But again, I just I don't see it. But hey, think about this. Um We uh There was a lot of people that thought Patrick queen included myself Patrick queen could be traded before the draft during the draft He could be traded to get more draft picks a lot of people thought he could be part of a deandre hopkins trade But this is what I was talking about earlier with the draft. Um It was nice because we got a lot of questions answered And that was one of the questions will Patrick queen be traded will Devin Duvenay be traded Both of them still here right now So there's this little glimpse of hope that maybe just maybe The ravens could go crazy with depth this year Because like think about that That would be crazy like Roe qualmsmith Patrick queen I'm Trent Simpson My Malik Malik Harrison Oh, my my my memory is just messing up right now, especially with throwing these rookie names in there I probably messed up on the rookie name too. So my apologies if I did there's no offense, but I messed up on everybody's name So it ain't nothing personal But um, they could go crazy with depth At the linebacker position.  Everybody ain't staying But that's that Then you think about running back you got jk dobbins gust Edwards justice heel And then Mitchell Mitchell's a guy who a lot of people been talking about they love that undrafted free agent So I'm gonna have to look some more into him Um, then you look at receiver Uh, Odell Bateman Aguilore Duvenay Um Shamar Bridger still there Isabella knows we're mixing some practice squad guys in there, but hey Spots is up for grabs. Well, maybe like one spot.  I don't know it's depth there, but hey, we we we'll see how they work it out I'm sure they're gonna bring in a veteran or two um to help out So, yeah, but um, so yeah that that's things are still up in the air right now Right and Ravens like it's no surprise that Ravens are taking this thing all the way Down to the wire because they they love doing this when it comes to deadlines Ravens will will push something way out to the dead like like that they like me I guess I was always meant to be a Raven fan because I remember growing up uh in school, um I like if it's a project do if it's a paper do if it's an assignment do like, okay, I'm chilling And if we the teacher gives us like a month, hey, you got to do this You got it say for instance, it's April April 1st. Hey, this is do may 1st. Okay, cool April 8th a roll around chillin April 15th a roll around You know cool April 22nd a roll around. Yes, I gotta do that paper April 29th roll around. Oh You know what let me get to working on that That's the way that the Ravens do except with them. They've been working on it the whole time Well, maybe who knows behind the scene, but They push it out to the deadline and them deadlines. They spark that action.  So anyway Take me keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all real quick I got to give a special shout out on twitter Um to the guy who does the best Without question without a shadow of a doubt Uh with the utmost certainty the guy who does the absolute best Jersey swaps ever And that's ravens capital on twitter ravens capital He like and he told me he told me in um, he told me on twitter Uh, when the whole de andre hopkins thing was looking like it was gonna happen We was thinking it was gonna happen. He said hey Use this use this de andre hopkins swap In your thumbnail and I was ready to I'm like, oh, okay. I got you But well, yeah, you know the rest of that story. So I mean, it's all good. It's all good See what happens with de andre hopkins later on I guess we'll see But I do like zato I I actually love him and again, especially with him being from down here to like The florida ravens is taking over again, baby, but yeah, it should be fun But anyway, take it clean. I love y'all so much. I appreciate y'all so much We will um wrap up the rest of the drafties later on um, because we got One two three more Yeah, just got three more because we we talked about three and we got three more to talk about So we will cover that soon But I just had to make sure we talked about this because it's day at line time Love you y'all have a really really really great day. Remember perception is everything Perception is everything it makes such a huge difference like today's first of the month rents do and it's like Man I don't feel like paying no rent.  I don't like paying rent rent is expensive rent is annoying But then you think oh I got a roof over my head I got some way to sleep at night I have a home So it's all about perception. I love y'all try to have a positive perception. I know it can be tough, especially Because life will try you Life will try you speaking from experience. I know all y'all got experience too. We all got experience every single day But let's at least try. I love you y'all stay up and we out


We've known for nearly a half century, according to 200 of the country's leading experts in cardiovascular diseases in our report representing 29 national medical organizations, including the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, that coconut oil is one of the most potent agents for elevating the level of cholesterol in the blood. Studies showing coconut oil elevates cholesterol date back to 1955, when it was first shown experimentally that switching someone from coconut oil to something like soybean oil could drop cholesterol from like 200 down to 150. Coconut oil can significantly raise cholesterol levels within hours of consumption, a significantly increased blood cholesterol within hours of eating a slice of cake made from coconut oil or from cod liver oil for that matter. But not from the same cake made from flaxseed oil. Coconut oil may even be worse than tallow or beef fat, but not as bad as butter. The latest interventional trial was published March 2017, a month-long randomized controlled crossover study looking at the impact of two tablespoons a day of virgin coconut oil, and it elevated cholesterol about 14% over control. Consistent with the other seven interventional trials published to date in this 2016 review. But wait, saturated fats can make so-called good cholesterol HDL go up. So what's the problem? The problem is that doesn't seem to help. Having a high blood HDL level is no longer regarded as protective. What? But wait a second, higher HDL is clearly associated with lower risk of heart disease. In fact, HDL levels are among the most consistent and robust predictors of cardiovascular disease risk. Ah, but see, there are two types of risk factors, causal and non-causal. Association does not mean causation, meaning that just because two things are tightly linked doesn't mean one causes the other. Let me give you an example. I bet that the number of ashtrays someone owns is an excellent predictor of lung cancer risk. I bet study after study would show that link, but that doesn't mean that if you intervene and lower the number of ashtrays, their lung cancer risk would drop, because it's not the ashtrays that were causing the cancer, it was the smoking. The ashtrays were just a marker of smoking, an indicator of smoking, as opposed to playing a causal role in the disease. So just like having a high number of running shoes and gym shorts might predict a lower risk of heart attack, having a high HDL predicts a lower risk of heart attack, but raising HDL just like raising the number of gym shorts wouldn't necessarily affect disease risk. How do you differentiate between causal and non-causal risk factors? You put it to the test. The reason we know LDL, cholesterol, really is bad is because people who are just born with genetically low LDL end up having a low risk of heart disease, and if you intervene and actively lower people's LDL through diet or drugs, their heart disease risk drops. Not so with HDL. People who live their whole lives with high HDL levels don't appear to have a lower risk of heart attack, and if you give people a drug that increases their HDL, it doesn't work. That's why we used to give people high dose niacin to raise their HDL, but it's time to face the facts. The lack of benefit to raising HDL seriously undermines the concept of HDL being a causal risk factor. In simple terms, high HDL may not protect the heart. We should concentrate on lowering LDL. And so specifically as this relates to coconut oil, the increase in HDL is of uncertain clinical significance, but the increase in LDL cholesterol you get from eating coconut oil would be expected to have an adverse effect on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. But what about the MCTs? Proponents of coconut oil, who lamented that this whole coconut oil causes heart disease thing, has created this bad image for their national exports, assert that the medium chain triglycerides, the shorter saturated fats found in coconut oil, aren't as bad as the longer chain saturated fats in meat and dairy. And what about that study that purported to show low rates of heart disease among Pacific Islanders who ate tons of coconuts? I'll cover both these topics next.

In our tournament challenge, let's take a quick update on that while I open up these packs All right, so if you joined our Our group we've got yeah Arthur Is in the top three tied with a handful of people but he's in the top three his his champion is still intact And I think a little behind on max points, but you're still in you're still in the hunt Super basketball, unfortunately not in the hunt Baylor Was that person's champion? So max points only eight eight hundred and ten, but he's currently in second place I have no idea who future future hunt is but has Gonzaga as the champion 1500 max points Arthur you still got a little bit of a little bit of an edge there Some games fall the right way for you You have I think you have different champions too, so Could be a fun finish ladies and gentlemen remember if you're in this and I if I don't know If I can't tell who you are by your username Someone's going to miss out on break credit or it's just going to be in limbo So make sure your user names will reflect that reflect your name I Know we got that looks different right there right because it's numbered 34 out of 50 that's V take advantage check For the capitals, it'll be for Greg and Washington like that autograph is coming up, too That autograph is another capital That's uh Alexander alexa of Another capital for um for greg And the Washington cap is did I say a bryan earlier? It's greg with capitals So used to watching to me at the bottom of the list of teams now win up how it goes And no pmg card in here, but some nice stuff overall. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us ladies and gentlemen I'll see you next time for the next hockey break


The study of advanced airframes and innovative high-efficiency powertrains can help reduce the environmental impact of the transportation industry. Specifically, the proposed box-wing configuration offers improved aerodynamics, structural efficiency, and propulsive performance compared to the traditional two-band wing design. These advantages lead to reduced fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions. This article was authored by Giuseppe Palaya, Karim Abu Salem, and Alessandro A. Corta.


Hello friends. I am Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. So in my previous video, I explained you algorithm analysis. So I discussed with you space complexity and time complexity. So there you understood how we can measure space complexity and through three different ways we can identify time complexity that are best case, average case and worst case. So after watching that video, now you can understand algorithm efficiency with this video. So starting my explanation for algorithm efficiency. So explaining first point which says if a function is linear without any loops or recursion, the efficiency of that algorithm or the running time of that algorithm can be given as the number of instructions it contains. So however, if an algorithm contains certain loops or recursive function, then the efficiency of the algorithm may vary depending on the number of loops and the running time of each loop in the algorithm. So first paragraph is saying like we don't have any loop or recursion. Second paragraph or second point is saying we have loop or recursion. So accordingly we can identify the efficiency of algorithm based on number of steps. Those are available in that algorithm. So if we don't have any loop, then efficiency will be different. But if we have loops or recursion, then efficiency will be different. So as per third point, the efficiency of an algorithm is expressed in terms of the number of elements that has to be processed. So this is also important, a number of elements. So if n is the number of elements, then the efficiency can be stated as function of n equals to efficiency. So n is the number of elements on which we are going to apply algorithm. And in that algorithm, if you are having loops, then its efficiency will be different. And if you are not using any loop, then its efficiency will be different. So here in first point, if you focus again, so it is saying the efficiency of the algorithm or the running time of that algorithm can be given as the number of instructions it contains. But for the algorithm which contains loops or recursion. So for that, different cases to determine efficiency of algorithms are available here. So here you can see in each point loop is available. So we can have linear loops, we can have logarithmic loops, we can have nested loops like linear logarithmic loops, quadratic loops and dependent quadratic loops. So based on these six points, now I'm going to explain how you can identify your algorithm efficiency. So first point is linear loops. So in case of linear loop, here you can see the first point to calculate the efficiency of an algorithm that has a single loop. We need to first determine the number of times the statements in the loop will be executed. So with this example, you will understand how we can identify the efficiency of linear loops. So this loop will repeat 100 times and 100 times the statements will be executed. So here 100 is the loop factor. Hence the general formula in the case of linear loops may be given as function of n equals to n. So if we need to process n elements, so its efficiency will be equals to n. Then here you can see example number 2, here increment is done with 2 and condition is 100, so 0 to 100 but increment is done by 2. So here the number of iterations is just half the number of loop factor. So here the efficiency can be given as function of n equals to n by 2. So as per the iteration of loop, we are identifying the efficiency of the algorithm. So in first case, efficiency is n, in second case it is n by 2 and in both the case function of n is performing. So this way we can identify the linear loops efficiency based on the number of times loops are executing. Then our next case is logarithmic loops. So in linear loops the loop update either adds or subtracts. However in logarithmic loops the loop controlling variable is either multiplied or divide during each iteration of the loop. So here you can see loop is iterating 100 times but it seems like it will be iterating 100 times but here if you see this increment part. So here i into equals to 2 is mentioned, so it means i equals to i into 2. So every time it will be i will be multiplied by 2. So in the above loop in which the loop controlling variable i is multiplied by 2. So after each iteration of the loop, the loop will be executed only less than 10 times and not 100 times. So therefore we can conclude that the efficiency of loops in which iterations divide or multiply the loop controlling variables can be given as log n. So in previous case you saw where loop was executing 100 times so it was equals to n because we are considering n as 100. So its efficiency will be n but in second case loop was repeating n by 2 times. So number of elements was 100 but loop was iterating n by 2 times so its efficiency was n by 2. Here again n is 100 but its loop is iterating less than 10 times so its efficiency will be log n. So in the case where loop is loop iteration variable is multiplied or divided. So in that case you can use this kind of efficiency like log n. So this way I hope you understood two scenarios linear loops and logarithmic loops. Now third is nested loops. So loops that contain loops are known as nested loops. In order to analyze nested loops we need to determine the number of iterations each loop completes. The total is then obtained as the product of number of iterations in the inner loop and the number of iterations in the outer loop. So this is the formula we need to multiply inner loop iteration with outer loop iteration so that total number of iterations can be calculated. Here you need to note one thing. In this case we analyze the efficiency of the algorithm based on whether it is a linear logarithmic, quadratic or dependent quadratic nested loops. So this was about nested loops. Now we are going to understand these three types. Linear logarithmic, quadratic and dependent quadratic loops. So first is linear logarithmic. So I already explained you linear and logarithmic separately. If I go back so this was linear and this was logarithmic. Now we are going to combine both. So consider the following code in which the loop controlling variable of the inner loop is multiplied after each iteration. So the number of iterations in the inner loop is log 10. This inner loop is controlled by an outer loop which it trades 10 times. So therefore according to the formula the number of iterations for this code can be given as 10 log 10. So here you can see outer loop is iterating as linear loop and inner loop is iterating as logarithmic loop. And together we can say this is as linear logarithmic loop. So outer loop is iterating n time and inner loop is iterating log n time. So the efficiency of such loops can be given as n log n. So function of n equals to n log n so n will be the elements. So if I go back so here you can see n is the number of elements then the efficiency can be stated as so everywhere we are using f of n as same and efficiencies are different as per the number of loops and how we are incrementing or how we are controlling the loop variable. So accordingly the efficiency is measured. So this was about linear logarithmic loop. Now next one is quadratic loop. So in a quadratic loop the number of iterations in the inner loop is equal to number of iteration in the outer loop. We can also say like both the loops are immediate so this becomes quadratic loop. So consider the following code in which the outer loop executes 10 times and for each iteration of the outer loop the inner loop also executes 10 times. So therefore the efficiency here is 100. So the generalized formula for quadratic loops can be given as n square. So if both the loops are executing a similar number of time they are iterating similar number of time and they are implemented as nested. So then efficiency will be n square. So for n input the efficiency will be n square because we are implementing this kind of loop. So number of inputs are same here as well f of n but efficiency is different because you are applying different kind of loop here. So this way I hope you are understanding if you are using a particular type of loop in your algorithm then according to that loop your algorithm efficiency will be calculated. So let's say to solve any problem if you are using two methods in one method you are using linear loop one loop and in another method let's say you are using two nested loops. So in both the cases your algorithm efficiency will be different and you need to use whose efficiency is less. Like whose efficiency is best. So let's say linear loop is providing efficiency as n and quadratic loop is providing efficiency as n square. So obviously you need to focus on the n because that is more efficient or more to be used in your algorithms as compared to n square algorithm efficiency. And last one is dependent quadratic loops. So here you will see one loop will be dependent upon the another loop. So in the dependent quadratic loop the number of iterations in the inner loop is dependent on the outer loop. So I hope you implemented these kind of loops by implementing patterns and see language. So consider the code given below which shows such as such an example. So first is iterating 10 times and second is dependent upon the value of high. So in this code the inner loop will execute just once in the first iteration twice in the second iteration twice in the third iteration and so on. So in a loop number of rotations are totally dependent upon the value of five that is controlling the first loop. So in this way the number of iterations can be calculated as. So this is the iteration for inner loop 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 up to 10 and total is 55. So if we calculate the average of this loop so it will be 55 upon 10 equals to 5.5. So we will observe that it is equal to the number of iteration in the outer loop plus 1 divided by 2. So this way in general terms the inner loop iterates n plus 1 by 2. So n is the number of rotation of outer loop we are adding 1 and dividing the whole by 2. So therefore the efficiency of such a code can be given as so for n number of inputs your algorithm is giving this efficiency that is n into n plus 1 by 2. So here first n is indicating number of iteration for outer loop and it is multiplied with n plus 1 by 2 which is the efficiency or number of iteration of inner loop. So this way this dependent quadratic loop algorithm efficiency can be calculated. So this is how you need to calculate algorithm efficiency while implementing any algorithm in data structure. So I hope you understood all the scenarios that I explained in this video. So if you want to calculate efficiency of function of n so where n is the number of elements and as per your algorithm code or algorithm steps like you are using how many loops are without loop you are implementing that algorithm. You can identify the efficiency of that algorithm. So with this explanation I am going to conclude this video. So also watch my previous video so that you can also understand like the difference between space and time complexity. And after watching that you will surely understand this like how we can identify algorithm efficiency so that you can write better algorithms while implementing the solution of any problem. So if you want to watch more data structure related videos or data structure implementation with C. So you can go to description of this video where you will find playlist links and also at the end of this video you will find those links as well. So you can follow those playlist so that you can understand the data structure and algorithm concepts well. So I hope you understood whatever I explained in this video. Thank you for watching this video.

He's a great organiser of the Kingdom constructing fortresses and with a strategic eye to the future. But I think it's the cultural project that is the most wonderful to our eyes and the most extraordinary, especially given the fact that he was probably a literate point when he became king. Learning in England had collapsed under Viking invasions, literacy had collapsed, the ability to write even English, let alone Latin. We know about the programme mainly because we have the old English preface to the translation of Pope Gregory's pastoral care, in which he sets out his plan for the revival of the English language and the translation of books which are most necessary for all men to know from Latin into English. It's important to recognise that at the beginning of the 870s when he first became king, Alfred was just king of the west Saxons and of the men of Kent. It's then in the 880s that Alfred comes to be known by a different title, King of the Anglo-Saxons, and it was that position and title which he seems to have bequeathed to his son, Edward the Elder. It's important therefore that when Athelstan came to the throne in 924, and perhaps when he was crowned in 925, he seems to have been crowned king of the Anglo-Saxons. However, it was Athelstan's own achievement within a few years of his coronation that he then came to be known as King of the English. So many crucial things in the makeup of English and British culture, their roots lie back in the Anglo-Saxon period. So, I'd say it was a transformative and a crucially formative period in the history of the British Isles and especially in the history of the English state and the English people.
