This is Arthur. This is Arthur. He does YouTube videos. Pretty good ones too. I enjoy them. Recently he did one on extracting zip files, or at least extracting single files from zip files. The way he did it was he was basically cutting out text files from within a zip file. So let's go ahead and look to see if we can improve on some of his techniques. Now, I'm sure that there are already shell applications, just as there's GUI applications where you can go into a zip file and go through all the files and pull out the ones you want. But today we're just going to write a simple script. Literally could be one line, but we're going to do three whole lines of code. And we're going to use one of my favorite programs, FZF. So you can search through that zip file, select multiple files, and extract just the files you want, whether they're text or binary. Okay, let's look at this. We have a zip file here. And of course, we can open it up with it with a GUI application like xarchiver, like so. And of course, we can go through the directories here. But let's say you don't want to use a GUI interface, or you want to do this on a server through SSH, and you don't have a GUI interface running. Let's talk about this, and let's see what we can do. Let's talk about what Arthur did. One of the things he showed us was with the unzip command, you can list out what files are inside a zip file by using the dash L option. And that will list all the files. And you can see down here, there are 598, so almost 600 files in this directory, or in this zip file, I should say. So let's go ahead and see what he did. So again, let's list those out. Let's choose a file. I'll choose this, log this power script shell script power, power shell script. There we go. That's I wrote. So let's go ahead. And what he did was he used the dash p command, I believe. So unzip, and the name of our file, but before that, we're going to give it the dash p option, which will print a file, and we can give it a file name, and it prints it to the screen, just like you catted it out, which is great for text files. But we want to extract the files, not just cap them out to the screen, and we also might have some binary files. So what can we do with that? Instead of the p option, we can give it the x option, which now extracts it, and it creates all the directories for you. So now you can see we have a folder, and I can cat out. I can just hit tab and go through all that and cat out that power shell script. OK, let's go ahead and let's say you want to extract multiple files. You don't want to extract them all, but just select files. Let's go ahead and list them out. And what we can do is same as before, we can use unzip dash x, the name of our zip file, and then we can give it each file we want individually here. So there I gave it three different files. One of them already exists, so it will give us a warning saying, do you want to override this? And we will say yes. And there we go. We've extracted all three of those files. That could be quite a lot to do, especially when you have almost 600 files inside the zip file. So again, we're going to use FZF, which is a program I've talked about a lot in the past. It is a great single binary cross platform, very small, very useful application that I use in almost all my scripts these days. So let's go ahead and start off by using the unzip dash L command, the name of our zip file, and just pipe it into FZF that will list all our the output of that. And now I can type in something like Arduino and it's a fuzzy finder. So it signs everything with Arduino or anything that's kind of similar to that. And now I can choose one of those files and it gives us that file name. But of course, we don't want all that information because we have the file size here, we have the date here and the time here. And I'm sure there's better ways to do this, but we're just going to actually, before we go into FZF, we're going to use AUK in this case to print out in this case, the fourth column because we have one column, two columns, three columns, and our file name is the fourth column. So we're just going to say print dollar sign for. And before we put that into FZF, this is what does it lists out the files without all that information. Unzip might have an option to do that. I didn't look into it. But let's fight that into FZF. We can do that. Now we type in again, something like Arduino and I can choose one and it gives us that file name. If I want to select more than one file, I can give it the dash M option. And now I can, again, search so I can do something like games. And then I can come through here and I can use the tab key to select different files and folders, hit Enter, and it lists those out. Now we're just listing the files right now. So what we need to do is now past all that information we just grabbed into our unzip command. So what we're going to do is we are going to put this in dollar sign and parentheses. We do not want quotations at this point because it will think all those file names are one file name. And that's not what we want. But now we can use our unzip command and we can do dash X, the name of our file, so dash X for extract. And now when we hit Enter, it's going to run these commands first and then take that output and put it right here as if you typed it. So I can hit Enter. Again, I can type in something like bash and I can now choose multiple files and when I hit Enter, it extracts them. Perfect. OK, so we've extracted those things. Let's go ahead and put this into a shell script. That's the only command we need, but we're going to add two other lines to make it one to make it a little more useful and one to avoid, you know, error type stuff. So I'm going to call this unzip files. I could give dot it SH because it's going to be a shell script. The extension does not matter, but the shebang line does. This line tells our operating system that this is a bash script and should use the bash interpreter. Now we can take our command from before. I will just copy and paste this for now to save us a little bit of time. We're going to make some changes. There we go. OK, we're not going to give it the name because we want to pass it. Right now, I'm just going to use a variable called zip, which we'll create in a moment. So dollar sign, zip, dollar sign, zip. And now we can also say that zip equals. Dollar sign one dollar sign one is the first argument you give the script. So now we can take this, we can make it execute all change mod plus X the name of our script. And now I can dot slash that file. I can pass it our zip file and it should give us our output here. You know, this could be cleaned up a little bit. We have things down here that aren't files such as name dash dash dash. That's just unzipped output. But I'm not going to worry about that in this tutorial, but I'll do something like doughnut and I will choose those two, that directory in the file and we'll do that and it will create and extract those files. Great. But we have to pass it a file, right? If we don't give it anything, it's going to get confused. It's like you didn't give me any information. I can type something that's going to try to run unzip. Let's go ahead and fix that. We'll go back into our script here. And what we're going to do here is I'm going to say inside brackets, dollar sign, the pound symbol, or the number symbol, the hashtag, whatever you want to call it, dash LT1. Let's not forget our spaces there and end. So what we're doing here is we're saying, look at the number of arguments. If it's less than one, do something. If it's greater than one, do something else. We're going to do pipe pipe here and we're going to say zip. Sorry, we want pipe pipe here, pipe pipe there. And we're going to use list and FZF. So let me take this out and then I'll explain it for you. We're going to say LZ zip, put that into FZF. So what is this going to do here? We are saying, and again, this entire script will be in the link in the description of this video, so you can get it there. We're saying, OK, this is a bash script. Count the number of arguments. Is it less than one? OK, if it's less than one, and that means that's true, the statement is true, so if it's less than one, we are going to list out all the zip files and put it into FZF. And then whatever file we select, we're going to put in the variable zip. Now, if it's greater than one, it's going to take the first one of those arguments and make it our zip file. So let's go ahead and see how that works. So now I can say dot slash our script and I can pass it our zip file name. And hit Enter. And now I can do something like choose these files here and extract them. But if I didn't give it a file name, it will list out all the zip files in the current directory, which in this case, there's only one. And I can choose it, you know, boom, boom. Now, let's go ahead and just copy our zip file a couple of times. We'll copy it to one dot zip. We'll copy it to test dot zip, file dot zip. And my dot zip, they're all the same file, but they're now in multiple locations. So now, again, I can run my script and I can give it something like my dot zip and it will automatically choose that as an option. And I come up here and I can choose a couple of files and extract them. But if I don't give it a file, it's now going to list them all and I can choose any one of these. So file and I can, you know, come up here and I'll choose two files and extract them. Let's add one more line to our script. So again, we only need the one line. We added another line to make it a little more user friendly. But now let's give it a little bit of error check. So real quick, let me show you what would happen if we were to run our script, not give it a file name, type something that does not exist and then hit enter. Well, now it's trying to list out files from a file that doesn't exist. And when I hit enter, it's going to try to run unzip against nothing and you get all this output. We're going to get rid of that just by saying, and I'm kind of combining different techniques here, but double brackets in this case, dollar sign, zip equals nothing. And that is definitely not the best way to do that, but it works best way. That's that's argumentative. And then we'll exit. So we're saying here is, OK, look at the number of inputs, arguments given by the user. If it's less than one, search through all the zip files. If not, if you have an argument, use that first argument as our zip file. Now, if we were to search through them and choose one that does not exist, you know, we choose something that's empty, then we're just going to exit. We're not going to continue with the script. And that's it. We have our three lines of code. I can now choose something. And if I was to choose a file that does not exist, it just exits. Doesn't give us an error. It doesn't try to run unzip, but I can choose one of these files and I can choose something like windows. Yeah, we'll choose those. There we go. I just extracted three files. That's it.

This is covering the spread part of the Fandall podcast network What a fun night of games last night in the men's college basketball tournament We now have our first set of Lee eight games scheduled for Saturday We're gonna dig into FAU against Kansas State and You con against Gonzaga getting you ready for both those games by talking to Austin Cass Getting his read on both those and getting you ready for it should be another fun day in the NCAA tournament This is covering the spread right here on the Fandall podcast network and number fire calm My name is Jim saw this. I am a senior writer and analyst for number fire Joined here as mentioned by Austin Cass check them out on Twitter at Austin Cass You can find his work over at number fire calm Austin a thrilling set of games last night a thrilling start to the tournament across the first three Or two and a half rounds now so excited to dig in. How you doing today? Yeah, doing really well doing really well. How are you? I'm doing great excited about tonight's games We broke down the Friday games with John Rothstein earlier on It's if you want to get a read on the Alabama games night the Houston game All those are up in the covering the spread podcast feed and over on the fan dual YouTube page So go subscribe there to get those as they go up. We also next week Baseball is back. Let me talk about that beginning on Monday talking futures with Tom Vecchio We'll have a an opening day preview on Wednesday And of course digging into more baseball as a year goes along as well Austin you've got a fun trip plans. So this is the last one gets talked to you for a while So I'm excited to talk about these games, but also bum because I'll be without you for a pretty long time after this I know I feel like you're just getting into soccer. So I hope this break doesn't ruin everything We've worked on I know the EPL conspired against us by having their off weekend be this weekend So it's all it's all a conspiracy, but we'll get you back on talk more. We'll talk some baseball. We'll talk some Talk to me PL once you're back for your vacation, but have a fun time We're digging into all this here in just one second as mentioned though Make sure you subscribe to check out the Friday preview with John Rothstein talked about the futures with him as well Talked about the lay of the land at the top of the tournament also later on today I'll be going through NASCAR a circuit of the Americas talking about the cup series Xfinity series and the truck series as well if you want to find that check out the timestamp in the episode description Over on number fire comm Let's dig in now though to the NCAA men's tournament Austin We'll talk about the Saturday games in just one second But first want to start things off here by breaking down the futures mark So I want to give you a chance to talk about that if there are things to catch your eye right now Looking at the markets over at Fandall sportsbook whether it be Championship markets anything else where you seem value right now if anywhere before we get tip on Friday night So I see a little bit of value in the national title market. I Think Alabama is the best team in the field. They've definitely Had that billing coming in and they've played like it through two games But I think they might be a little overvalued right now So in an effort to take advantage of that I like rolling the dice on Creighton in San Diego State to win it all Creighton was plus 950 and then San Diego State was plus 4,000 So it's like maybe Creighton's dropped 850, but yeah Obviously Bama is gonna be the U-Turtle for either of those two to get out of the South San Diego State. It's gonna play in the night seven and a half point dog But outside of Bama, there's really no one else on the left side of the bracket that the Aztecs or Blue Jays would be a sizable underdog against If they can find a way to get past Alabama They'll see their Kansas State or Fort Atlantic in the final four and maybe favorite in that game regardless of Which which of those two it is and then of course they've had to win that game and then beat a really good team in the title Game but once it came down to one game anything can happen Creighton's price is so much shorter because their next game isn't Bama. They play Princeton. They're 10 and a half point favorites San Diego State's plus 4,000 number will shorten drastically if they can get the win tonight So it would give you a chance to cash out at a profit prior to the elite if you wanted to and I think they have a Real shot to beat the tide despite being a seven a half point dog I think the Aztecs pace which is just two hundred and sixty-third could make things a little uncomfortable for Alabama Alabama's fifth in pace and Obviously, San Diego State's got their work cut out for them But I think they've got a shot tonight Maybe a little better shot than what that seven a half point spread indicates Yeah, 40 to 1 is the number on San Diego State right now entering this game of four tonight Creighton is plus 850 as you alluded to if you're betting one of those Austin Do you have a preference between Creighton and San Diego State? I think I'd take San Diego State. I Creighton is definitely more tempting because they're probably gonna be In the elite 8 and San Diego State could get just thump tonight, but sure that's plus 4,000 So that's a really big number that 40 to 1 so I'm really intrigued by that And it's also interesting too because their money line to beat Duke or to beat Alabama tonight is 260 So obviously they'd have to win in that the elite aid matchup and they'd have to continue going on there But plus 260 and compare that to 421. That's not too bad. Okay, so checking out Creighton at plus 850 checking out San Diego State Potentially to win it all based on the numbers based on the path and kind of taking a route to take advantage of the fact Alabama despite Austin thinking of the best team in the nation right now might be a little bit overvalued in what has been a volatile Very parody driven tournament thus far Let's shift focus now and talk about these Saturday games in the elite 8 will start things off for the first one That is FAU against Kansas State Kansas State right now in that game is a one and a half point favorite So very tight spread there total is 144 and a half Austin looking into this game Kansas State against FAU What stands out to you there? So I'm on Ford Atlantic to win Just earlier this morning this line was plus two and a half and the money line was plus 112 So things are trending their way Um Ford Atlantic's a Cinderella story by their seed and just name recognition, but this isn't completely out of nowhere They're a really good team. They are 34 and three right now They came into the big dance in the top 40 and both adjusted offense and defense per kin palm So they definitely checked a few boxes as a team that could make a run Something that makes them really dangerous is that they shoot the three really well and they shoot a lot of them They're 35th in the nation in three point attempt rate and they're 55th and made three point percentage So we kind of saw that play out against Tennessee The Owls defense was good enough to keep them in the game until they got hot from three Which happened in the second half and basically won the game for them Our model here at number fire has Ford Atlantic winning 54 or sorry 55.4 percent of the time Kin Palm is mostly in line with us. They have Ford Atlantic four spots ahead of Kent State So I think the owls do it again and and really get to the final four and make this a really fun story So you've got number fire pointing to it towards FAU Ken Palm as you mentioned has FAU slightly ahead of Kansas State as well. Bart Torvick has them effectively the same It's 23 for Kansas State 25 for FAU So a lot of convergence of stuff here, but as you mentioned this number has moved the money line for FAU is now plus 106 Are you backing off that that gets to even money? You know kind of where's the point of no return for you if this number continues to shift towards FAU? That's a great great question. I think it's probably getting really close to that point if it gets to even money I'd probably stay away When I saw the spread was that two and a half this morning. I thought wow should I pounce and then an hour later I'm thinking I should have pounds. Yeah, so Yeah, so that that's really interesting I I actually think it's probably gonna end up moving closer to even money on the money line. So Yeah, this is really interesting game. Okay, it's a shop around see what number you can get on FAU But plus 106 is where Austin is going on their money line against Kansas State right now Other game on Saturday night is Yukon against Gonzaga This one is shifting towards Yukon Yukon now a two and a half point favorite total in this game is 153 and a half so you saw the magic from Gonzaga last night in that win over UCLA This one should be fun. Austin. How do you see things playing out here? Yeah, so this is just like Fort Atlantic This line's moving toward Yukon. As you said it was just one and a half earlier this morning, so I'm on Yukon We talked prior to the tournament about how loaded this West region was and that was on full display last night That was the quality of a game that could have been a national title game. You're the best team slinging it out I think Yukon Gonzaga is gonna basically be the same thing Our metrics have Yukon fourth in the country and Gonzaga sixth So UCLA was third for us. So if Gonzaga gets to the final four then they absolutely earned that ticket I like Yukon on the money line, which was minus 132 This morning looks like it's minus 130 now Yukon's just the better team both sides are Ely on offense per kin palm The Zags are first and the Huskies are third, but Yukon is much better defensively the Yukon's ranked Yukon ranks 13th on D And the Zags are just 73rd While Gonzaga's had a really tough path so far in the tourney Yukon has to Arkansas and St. Mary's are both top 20 teams For Bartorovic and Yukon thrashed them by a combined 38 points They're obviously playing very very well right now in that form extends Much longer than the tournament over the last 17 games They've lost four times, but those four losses were by a total of nine points. None of them were by more than three points Bartorovic has Yukon winning 61% of the time Which comes out to minus 156 money line. So by his numbers There's really good value on this current money line and our model here at number fire is basically right in line with this minus 130 price but Eileen more a little more toward what Bartorovic has and then bullish on Yukon to win tomorrow Yeah, wisdom of the crowd situation here where if number fire is in line and another intelligent place is also On Yukon a bit more favorably that could hint that there is value in Yukon at minus 130 that money line right now What about the bigger picture for Yukon because they have locked themselves in Thielead 8 right now They are plus 420 to win at all. Obviously mentioned you like Crate and more you like San Diego Statemore But do you consider putting some on Yukon plus 420 to win the whole tournament? Given how well they're playing or do you just want to stick with the money line for this individual game and then go from there? I think I'd probably just stick to this game solely because Just for them to get to the title game, right? They're probably gonna have to beat two very good teams Gonzaga and Houston maybe or Texas who either one of them are fantastic team So just because their path is so much harder than what it would be for the teams on the left side Assuming they can get past Bama Yeah, it's gonna be a tough spot for sure But it's going to be a fun one as always and especially looking for that Yukon Gonzaga game tonight I have Gonzaga in the final four. So kind of need that Wasn't super optimistic at halftime last night. So maybe kind of Living on borrowed time already, but we'll see how things play out there That is again Austin Kass make sure you check him out on Twitter at Austin Kass You can find his work over at number fire.com talking EPL once is back talking college basketball and much more awesome We appreciate the time have fun on your vacation. We'll talk to you again here on the show once you are back Thanks, I'm I appreciate it. Alrighty big. Thank you once again to Austin not just for today But also for stopping by talking EPL with us talking college basketball with us. It has been a blast for sure We're gonna dig into NASCAR at circuit of the Americas here in just one second breaking down cup series Excinity series and the trucks here as well But speaking of Exfinity whether your bracket is busted still alive or you're just looking for another way to get involved in March Madness Fandal has you covered.

He is plus 165 right now at fandal sports book I have mcdowell 49 percent to finish inside the top 10 Versus 38 implied so again plus 165 michael mcdowell top 10 mcdowell has a top 10 In four out of six road course races during the next gen era He had a top 10 average running position in one of the race. He did not finish inside the top 10 And I think that this makes a lot of sense mcdowell is a road racer He used to teach guys how to road race like William Byron learned how to road race from michael mcdowell and with the next gen era You've got the gap in equipment between mcdowell and the top guys being smaller than what it used to be in the past So you put him in relatively equal equipment and his his road course acumen can finally shine So we saw that last year I think we can see it once again this year So my favorite bet this weekend michael mcdowell top 10 plus 165 right now at fandal sports book right behind me It is kevin harvick uh pulse 175. I show value there to 40 for me versus 36 Implied harvick was inside the top 10 in three out of six road course races last year In two of the others he was 11th and 12th the 11th place run came here at coda and I think that makes a lot of sense You know harvick is a wildly veteran keep his tires underneath him Not going to burn those things up early on in the run So I think anecdotally it makes sense the harvick would do well We saw it last year my numbers like him too now the one counterpoint with harvick is that He didn't qualify all that well last year on road courses. So There's a pretty decent chance that is this number lengthens post qualify and saturday So I think that if you want to hold off maybe about harvick later on I can see the logic behind that So I think harvick's under value But if you want to bet him later off that is fair plus 175 right now though is a value for me Next one up for me is ty gibbs. He's down at plus 4 30 over at vandal sportsbook to finish inside the top 10 And I know I know I know the toyotas were awful last year on road course I know that but my model knows that too The the model i'm using in trying to formulate the equipment prior for gibbs Does not look at road courses prior to 2021 because that was a different car. So why would it care? We can get a large sample by looking at just 2022 data The 2022 data says the toyota sucked on road courses. It knows that but I think he's better than this number implies Gives a very good road course race in the Xfinity series one his first career race there at Daytona He also had two other wins. One of them came competing against a j alman dinger One came against uh, kyle larson of road america So he was racing against cup series talent and he was beating them pretty often So he is a talent on this track type It's also possible toyotas gotten better in the off season at road courses I'm not banking on it, but it's definitely possible I have gibbs at 24 to finish inside the top 10 So i'm not super super high in him, but his implied odds are 19 percent. So He could bite me. I've been on gibbs plenty this year But I was on him last week and he came through there So I think that's how gibbs plus 4 30 for a top 10 is a good value for what i'm seeing The final one I want to highlight here for the cup series ryan priest 7 to 1 in the top 10 He was not elite on road courses with his old team jtg dory racing But he also was not like hideous by any means He did get a top 10 in 2021 And now he's in better equipment uh steward haas racing talked about harvick earlier on but they've also got chase briscoe Who ran well on road courses last year col custer in this car was pretty good as well So i'm not like overly confident in priest in terms of talent, but when I take What he did a jtg dory and put it in a steward haas racing car I get priest's top 10 odds at 18.3 percent his implied odds are 12.5 percent It's a pretty decent gap. So I think priest makes a lot of sense. That's a gap i'm going to bet on So I will say priest 7 to 1 to finish inside the top 10 So for the cup series just top 10s for me for right now But I like michael mcdowell plus 165 kevin harvick plus 175 tie gibbs at plus 430 And then ryan priest at 7 to 1 Let's just focus now and talk about the xinni series out at kota just outrides right now at vandal sportsbook for xinni We can't find some value there Based on my numbers and it's actually the guy that priest replaced at steward haas racing I like cool custer. He's 8 to 1 to win this race Custer's odds for me 13.4 percent his implied odds 8 to 1 are 11.1 percent Again, as I talked about priest, I think that you know Custer was pretty good a road course last year. The problem was He didn't always translate that into good finishes, but he had speed basically saw Now it is tough to top a j alvin dinger It's tough to top willy byron tie gibbs all in this field for the xinni series But that's a count of four in the odds I think custer is the best outright bets and I think that I want to get in on that at 8 to 1 I also do not mind from a longer shot perspective Brandon jones jones is down to 80 to 1 to win this race I've got jones at 2.9 to win so a pretty big gap between me and the fields Or me and the sportsbooks here on brandon jones jones First road course race with junior motorsports previous with jogan's racians That is probably an equipment downgrade on a road course, but I also think a lot of Junior motorsports struggles on road courses is the drivers josh barry's a short track kind of guy Sam mayer super young tough to expect him to be great on the road course Noah gregson had upside on road courses, but did wreck quite a bit So I don't think the equipment is as bad as the results have been for junior motorsports And jones I think proved at joe gibbs that he can get the job done here. So I think that jones a better bet in a top five market you can find him The problem is that everyone else found him too. He went from plus 750 top five He's now plus 420 or 450. I believe so that number shortened a lot. I would prefer to find him there, but You know doesn't seem like we can so I think that jones a better bet for a top five, but based on where the odds are right now 80 to 1 to win that's a value for me too. So brandon jones a guy I am interested in for this weekend Finally, if you're looking at other top fives, uh, william hill houses up right now, alex labay Is 16 to 1 labay filling in for josh william suspended this weekend, but labay driving for the same team Has shown upside of road courses. I have him at 11.4 to finish inside the top five So 16 to 1 a very good number there. So labay top 5 16 to 1 it will hill But if you're betting a just fandall brandon jones 80 to 1 or coal custer 8 to 1 to win that one In the truck series I like two outrides and if you've listened to previous discussions around the truck series, you know I have a hard time getting to kyle bush at his typical numbers because he's amazing Sportsbooks know that sportsbooks know you want to bet kyle bush. They want to give super short odds He's plus 150 to win at circuit of the americas But that's actually a value based on my numbers I've got bush at 45 to win on saturday the applied odds of plus 150 or 40 percent. So I don't ever get this chance to bet kyle bush in a lower series I get it here and i'm gonna take that he wanted sonoma last year for, uh, kyle bush motorsports, obviously Driver for them once again now a chevy whereas he wasn't a toyota But um, I don't think that matters a ton based on the speed. We've seen the kbm trucks have so far this year So kyle bush plus 150 I will take advantage of Actually getting value on bush for the first time ever since I've actually had This truck series model. So that is a nice little relief where I don't have to be just Clenching the entire race worried that kyle bush will ruin my bets The other outright I like is also a cup series driver. That's ross chastain down at 12 to 1 Now chastain's not in as good of equipment as kyle bush is Chastain driving for niece motorsports and they're not as good as a kbm truck, but it's also not hideous And whereas the market I think Based on where they have chastain They're kind of saying that that the niece equipment sucks because chastain is a very good road racer one at this exact course in the cup series last year chastain driving for niece motorsports last year Ran at sonoma. He had a fourth place at returning position. He finished fourth in that race behind kyle bush He was very good there in this same truck Carson host of ours teammates had three really good runs on road courses last year One of them was with a broken foot at sonoma. It still ran very well there So niece's equipment is good enough For chastain to let his talent shine through and I don't think that those sports books are saying that's the case I've got chastain at 17 percent to win versus 7.7 percent implied. So It's a very big gap likely means i'm wrong because chastain Open at 12 to 1 elsewhere. He is short in a 10 to 1 in those other spots some movement or some movement Uh in my favor, but not a ton likely means I am too high on chastain, but There's a big gap for me to be too high in him and still be above where the implied odds are So I think the biggest indicator for me that sports books are too lower on chastain is that his odds at fadwell right now Are the exact same as carcent host of ours in the exact same equipment Why is that ross chastain is a better road racer right now than carcent host of ours? So I think that's a good indicator that they are understilling chastain right now. So ross chastain 12 to 1 to win in the truck series a good bet as well I also do like a lot of top five bets here. Uh chastain is plus 140 at william hill for top five I've got value on that other top fives. I like our parker clickerman plus 225 time a jesky plus 225 uh steward freeson and grant enfinger both four to one I think that what we're seeing here is that the top five markets are tied to the outright markets and the outright markets are pushed longer because of cow bush elix bowman and ross chastain being this field so They're not all gonna occupy all top five spots So to me, I think that that gives us a lot of value here to take advantage of bets again clagerman plus 225 majesky plus 225 steward freeson grant enfinger four to one and chastain plus 140 for a top five in the truck series so Recap for across all three series cup series top tens. I like mcdowell plus 165 harvick plus 175 gibbs plus 430 and priest Seven to one in xinnii. I like cold custard to win a to one brain and jones to an 80 to one and then alexa lebay top five at plus 1600 and then in trucks cow bush to win plus 150 chastain to win uh 12 to one and then the other uh top five markets mentioned earlier on That is all that we have here for today on covering the spread next week Gonna be loaded baseball at tom vecchio on monday.

Hello in this lecture. We're gonna work some test type problems smaller type problems that could fit into the format of multiple choice questions We have here a corporation issued 250 shares of its $5 power value common stock and payment of a 3300 charge from its accountant for assistance in filing its charter with the state The entry to record this transaction will be what so in this case We're gonna kind of have to interpret what's going on here. What happened is it looks like we had an accountant do some Transaction for us and then send us an invoice the invoice being for 3300 instead of paying cash for that invoice 3300 check we are gonna issue stock. We decided on 250 shares at $5 par. What does that mean to us? It means that the 250 shares We're assuming has a market value of 3300 because we're us we're going to exchange for that value So the bill was for that much if we're assuming that we're gonna pay 250 in shares then the 250 shares must be equal to the 3300 price now you might be saying well Where does the $5 par value work into that then remember that the $5 par value does not represent the market value of the stock It's just an arbitrary number so that we have a standard set number for all shares of stock when we see it on the financial statement So let's see what this would look like if we got a bill from the accountant would might be going to accounting expense or legal and professional Expense some kind of expense account It's gonna go in here. That's gonna be the debit for 3300 that's the bill we got then we're gonna issue the common stock I'm just gonna say common stock is gonna be issued now. We issue it at just the standard par value So we're gonna say I'm gonna make it a negative to make the credits negative. It's gonna be the 250 Times 5 that's what we're gonna issue now Of course the debits do not equal the credits here because once again that 250 times 5 just an arbitrary number that we're gonna Issue the stocks for and we got to put the difference into an account called additional paid-in capital I'm not gonna type it all out, but it's additional paid-in capital and so we're gonna say that's gonna be the plug 3003 minus the 1002 50 means we have an excess of additional paid-in capital of 2050 I'm gonna do that with the negative sum function mean I'm gonna say negative instead of equals summing this up this number Minus this number this number plus that negative number and then flip the sign that's why we put a negative in front of it and That means that this minus this minus this equals zero or the credits here equal the debits there And that's what we have so remember when we issue the stock We're gonna issue it at the par value and then put the difference in the additional paid-in capital So really the the common stock and the additional paid-in capital is the investment That has been input next one says that prior to May 1st company has never had any treasury stock transaction a company purchased 280 shares of its common stock on May 1st So we purchased our own stock. That's treasury stock for 14,000 on July 1st. It reissued 140 of these shares for fifty two dollars per share on August 1st It reissued the remaining treasury stock at 49 per share What is the balance in the paid-in capital treasury stock account at August 2nd? Okay, so what first when we first pump bought it back It's gonna be treasury stock that we that we purchased back and even though it's in the equity section It's kind of like another asset We treat it almost as if we purchased another company meaning we're gonna put it on there as a debit but not in the asset second in the equity section and we paid 14,000 for it and We're gonna credit cash just like if we purchased someone else's stock now What we have to do is track that we got to say okay Well, what does it cost per share then if we purchased our own stock back at that time? We're gonna we're gonna say that the number of shares for treasury stock shares is going to be we purchased 280 shares for a total cost. I'm gonna put this over here a total cost of 14,000 therefore the cost per share Is going to be the different the dividing those 14,000 divided by 280 would then be the cost we paid per share So we're gonna kind of figure that out. It's gonna be the 14,000 divided by the 280 That means it costs $50 per share So just like when we sell any other type of share we're gonna have to figure out, okay Well, if we sell it we're gonna sell it for whatever the market price is could be greater or less than this $50 per share We generally put the difference into this Treasury stock the sorry the paid in capital for the Treasury stock So that's what we need to track now So the first thing that happens or the next thing that happens on July 1st We reissued 140 so we reissued resold our Treasury stock, which we purchased and now we're putting it back on the markets We're gonna get cash for that sale. We sold it for 52 Even though we bought it for 50 so we kind of have like a gain But since it's on our own stock, it's all gonna be in the equity section We're not gonna put a game to it. So we're gonna say this equals the cash is going to be 140 times $52 per share We got 7,280 and then we're gonna credit the Treasury stock to take that off the books But we're gonna take it off the books at the $50 because that's the cost that we bought it for So we're gonna say this is I'm gonna say it's a negative just to make it a negative 50 times 140 shares that we sold and that comes up to 7,000 and of course 7,000 minus the 7 2,80 means That we need 280 on the credit to make our debits equal the credits So I'm gonna say this is the negative sum of These which means this plus that negative which is a subtraction problem flip the sign so that our credits Equal to 7,280 which equals the debits now if this was a normal stock sale We would put that into a gain meaning we got more cash than we purchased it for but since it's Treasury stock It's all in the equity section. This is what it's going to be. We're gonna call this paid-in-capital Treasury Account, so I'm just gonna copy and paste that here. That's gonna be the credit And that's what we're kind of trying to track. So I'll paste that here too. That's gonna be It's not what I want to do Just want to paste it normal and we'll make our t account here like this as well So I'm just gonna Make a t account and say that we're going to underline this And put the t here And Where's my left? All right And so we have this in here at this point the 280 And then of course we have another activity that happens. We sold the rest of the Treasury stock on August 1st It reissued the remaining 49 per share. What is the bounce from the paid-in Treasury stock at the at august 2nd? So the next one we said cash Now we've got another 140 shares we sold but now we sold it for $49 Even though we purchased it for 50 so times 49 And then we're gonna take the the Treasury stock off the books for That 140 times 50 Because that's what we bought it for and then again We're gonna have this account paid in capital Which is going to be the plug in this case. It's got to be a debit though And I know I have my debits and credits not in perfect order But we're gonna do it this way because it's quick. So now my debits equal the credits 7000 7000 And obviously and and if it was someone else's stock that would be a loss In this case again, it's going to go into that paid-in capital. So now we have a debit in the paid-in capital Credits are still winning. So the balance in the paid-in capital at this point Would equal the debits minus the credits credits are winning by the by the 1040 so that's what we have there We can go ahead and do our double underline bang here And that's what we have in the paid-in capital treasury stock Next one says that a company paid 60 cents in cash dividends per share Its earnings per share is four dollars and 32 cents and its market price is 28 dollars and 50 cents So its cash dividend yield is what so when we talk about that the dividend yield We're trying to what we're comparing it's going to be a ratio many of these kind of Estimations of value are going to be ratios. We're going to compare the amount of dividends. We got compared to the market price So we're going to say the dividends paid. We got the dividends dividends Our 0.6 and i'm going to go ahead and add decimals to all of these because we're going to need to see some decimals Some pennies here. So we got 0.6 and we're not talking about the earnings per share in this case We're talking about the amount that we actually got paid in dividends the earnings We can't take that out because as a stockholder we can't take out the earnings So we could still do calculations on the earnings per share But what we're talking about in this particular calculation is the actually cold cash that we actually got received from the company in the form of Dividends so we got the 0.6 and then we got the market price Market price being 28.5 and if we divide those out I'm going to underline home tab font on your line And then we're going to say it's the 0.6 60 cents divided by the 28 50 and that gives us 0.02 We're going to make that a percent. So we're going to go to the home tab Numbers percentize it and then add a couple decimals. So it's 2.11 percent That would be the dividend yield


Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome. If you're new here, my name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach and I'm on WW personal points. Happy Monday, it is Monday, so it is meal prep day. I have breakfast, lunch, and a dessert for you and spoiler alert, everything is so, so good. So if you're excited for another meal prep give this video a big, huge thumbs up. Make sure you're subscribed and your bell notification is turned on because I upload five days a week and Monday is always meal prep. You will find all of today's recipes on my website. I'll link that down in the description box along with nutrition coaching where I offer personalized to you macros and calories as well as one-on-one coaching if you would like to chat with me directly. Links, discounts to all my favorite things and my Facebook group, definitely come on over, join us there, we'd love to have you are all down in that description box. So we have not one, not two, but three amazing recipes to make, so let's jump in. It's 1 a.m. and I ain't tired, I can stand right here and talk all night if you want. I ain't got no place to be, no one's waiting for me. For breakfast this week, I am making homemade chewy granola bars. I shared with you guys at my grocery haul that my mother-in-law makes these and these are the best granola bars I've ever had. They are from Joanna Gaines and Magnolia Home and let me just tell you, winner, winner, these are so, so good. So let me show you what's in the recipe. First, you're going to need some unsweetened coconut flakes, sliced almonds, rolled oats, Lily's chocolate chips. I just have the traditional dark chocolate, Lily's stevia sweetened chips, dried cherries. Make sure you get the ones with no oil added sugar. I count these as zero points. I do not count points for dried fruit if there's no added sugar. Light butter, salt, vanilla bean, make sure you don't skip the fresh vanilla bean and honey. You're also going to need brown sugar substitute. I forgot to share that with you guys in the beginning. This is the Lakonto Golden. You guys know I love Lakonto monk fruit. This is the best brown sugar alternative. It tastes the closest to regular brown sugar. So you're also going to need some brown sugar substitute. I'll link Lakonto down below for you with 15% off. So to get started on our granola bars, I have a sheet pan that I've lined with some parchment paper. I have two cups of rolled oats. Go ahead and spread those out on the baking sheet. One cup of sliced almonds. Put those right on top of the rolled oats. Mix that all together and spread it evenly into a single layer on the bottom. This is going into a 325 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until the almonds are toasted and the rolled oats are toasted. That's really going to help bring out the flavor. Go ahead and take your oats and almonds out of the oven. Add the coconut flakes and we're going to put this back in for about another five minutes until everything gets nice and toasted. Once you take everything out of the oven, we're going to add it to a large bowl. And we're stirring in one cup of the dried cherries and then go ahead and set that aside. Into a medium saucepan, we're going to add one third cup of our Lakonto brown sugar, three tablespoons of light butter, one quarter cup honey, and a pinch of salt. We're going to allow everything to melt down. We want the butter melted, the sugar dissolved. We are going to stir frequently. It'll take about five minutes for everything to melt. Once the butter, sugar, everything is melted. We're going to add it to the oats, coconut, almond, and cherry mixture, and then give that a quick stir. We want to make sure everything gets coated with the wet mixture. Then we're going to take our vanilla bean and we're going to scrape out all the good stuff and add it to the mixture. Then we're going to add one half of our Lily's chocolate chips and give that one final stir. To a nine by 13 baking dish, go ahead and add some parchment paper. Make sure it does hang over the edge a little bit so it's easy to get the bars out. We are going to add the granola bar mixture into the baking dish. And then go ahead and spread that out evenly into the bottom. And then lastly, we're sprinkling the other half of the chocolate chips right on top and then we're just going to press those into place so that they'll firmly set into the bars. These delicious bars are going into the refrigerator for about two hours so that they can firmly set. Three hours later. I just pulled my granola bars out of the refrigerator. They look so incredibly delicious. I'm telling you that these are the best granola bars I've ever had. I told my mother-in-law every time I come over, I need these bars, they're that delicious. So I wanted to share the recipe with you. So I'll go ahead and put serving size points, calories, all of the information here on the screen for you. It's 1 a.m. and I ain't tired. I can stand right here and talk all night if you want. I ain't got no place to be, no one's waiting for me. For my lunches this week, I'm making a roasted sweet potato barbecue chicken bowl. I shared in my grocery haul that I'm really into bowls these days. I like that there's protein, vegetables, usually some type of a starch and it's just a really well-rounded lunch and it makes a great meal prep. So let me show you what's in this week's barbecue chicken roasted sweet potato bowls. First you're going to need some oil of your choice. I have avocado oil, salt, pepper, no sugar added barbecue sauce, garlic powder. The recipe also calls for chipotle powder. I'm eliminating that because I don't like spicy food but that is an option if you wanted to amp up the spice a little bit. I have just a bag of chopped broccoli, a yellow onion. You'll need two medium sweet potatoes and since mine are small I have four really small sweet potatoes and about a pound or so of chicken breast. I can listen close, there's just something about your voice. I think that every word you say to me is like poetry. I just want you for my own, it's really easy to tell that you're the best girl I've ever known. I'm not gonna waste. I'm gonna drizzle about a teaspoon of oil over the potatoes and the onions. We're going to add salt, pepper and garlic powder.  Make sure all the onions and sweet potatoes get coated in that oil and all those seasonings. We're putting our sweet potatoes and onions in a 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes. I just pulled out the potatoes and the onions so we're going to just kind of slide those over to one half of the sheet pan. We're going to lay out our chicken kind of in the middle. I have chicken tenderloin so I'm just leaving mine whole. You can chop it up if you would like. And then I'm going to put my broccoli right next to the chicken. I have one quarter cup of my sugar-free barbecue sauce and I'm just going to brush that right on top of the chicken. I'm going to add some salt to the broccoli as well as the chicken. I am going to spray my broccoli with just a little non-stick cooking spray. I just want it to get crispy and the salt to stick. So we're going back into our 400 degree oven for about another 10 to 15 minutes. Look at how delicious this looks. We have our roasted broccoli, barbecue chicken, sweet potatoes and onions. I am going to use my little meal prep bowls. I bought these on Amazon. I'll link them down below for you. This makes three lunch meal prep. So I'm going to divide the broccoli, the chicken and the sweet potato onion mixture by three. We'll pop it into our meal prep bowls and that's going to be lunch. It's super simple, packed full of protein, veggies, healthy carbs. What you want to do now wants to be afraid of when we're young. There's just something about your voice. I think that every word you say to me is like poetry.  And here's the completed lunch. This looks so good, you guys. What a filling, satisfying, well-rounded lunch. I will go ahead and put points, calories here on the screen for you. Remember, your points will vary depending on your zero point foods but this is super low point, super hearty and a huge, huge serving. It's 1 AM and I ain't tired, I can stand right here and talk all night if you want. I ain't got no place to be, no one's waiting for me. For dessert this week, I'm making ooey gooey fudgy chewy brownies and I cannot wait. Let me show you what's in our recipe. First, you're going to need all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, Lily's chocolate chips, granulated sweetener of your choice. As always, I'm using Lakonto. Don't forget, I will link Lakonto down in the description box with 15% off for you. You'll also need some eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and light butter. This is the sweetener that I use. So I wanted to show you guys the packaging because this isn't the granulated in the red bag. This is actually the sugar-free monk fruit baking sweetener. This is the one I really like to use in any type of baking. So I wanted to show you the package so when you're on the Lakonto website, you order the right one. In a microwave safe bowl, go ahead and add about three tablespoons of light butter and two ounces of chocolate chips. We're going to pop this in the microwave and melt this down. Make sure you stir regularly so that it doesn't seize. We have a perfect chocolate mixture. Everything is nice and melted. So we're going to add in two eggs and then with our handheld mixer, we're going to beat until fluffy. We're going to add in some vanilla extract and then whisk it some more. Now we're going to add in our dry ingredients. So starting with just a little bit of salt, half of a teaspoon of baking powder. This is one teaspoon, so half, quarter cup cocoa powder, half of a cup flour, and three quarters of a cup of our baking sweetener. And then go ahead and stir that together until mixed. Look at how yummy this looks. Oh my gosh, I'm so excited. So into an eight by eight baking dish, we're going to add the brownie mixture. I did spray my baking dish first with some non-stick cooking spray. Spread it out nice and even into the bottom of your baking dish. Tap it on your counter just to make sure there's no air bubbles. And then it's going into a 350 degree oven for 18 to 20 minutes. I just pulled out the brownies. These smell so good, like fudge.  We are going, I'm going to put these cool for a little bit. We'll cut them into serving sizes and I'll be back to share points and calories. I went ahead and cut the brownies into eight servings. I just have to show you, look at that. It is so fluffy and moist. I mean, these are like a cake-like fudgy brownie. I will go ahead and put points and calories here on the screen for you, but I know I'm not complaining about having brownies all week. I also prepped some fresh fruit for the week. Down in the bottom is some blueberries and raspberries, grapes, strawberries, blackberries. This is another thing I really like to do because I know for me and especially for Tori, we'll eat it if it's prepped and ready to go. And these colors just make me so happy. When you talk, listen, close. There's just something about your voice. I think that every word you say to me is like poetry. I just want you for my own. It's really easy to tell that you're the best girl I've ever known.  Thank you for joining me for this week's WW Meal Prep. I hope you are as excited about these three recipes as I am. Don't forget, you can find all three recipes on my website. It'll be linked down in the description box, along with nutrition coaching, links, discounts to my favorite things, and my Facebook group. Definitely come on over, join us there. We'd love to have you. Thank you guys so much for watching. Happy Monday and I'll see you all in the next video. Bye.


This paper presents a methodology that utilizes the triangle method based on a feature space developed with NIR reflectance and NDSI for estimating surface snow wetness, permittivity, and density. The triangular feature space is parameterised to yield a linear relationship between snow wetness and NIR reflectance, while snow density and permittivity are derived from least-square solutions of empirical relations based on observed surface snow wetness. The proposed methodology was evaluated using Sentinel-2 data and validated with field measurements, resulting in good agreement for wet snow conditions. The approach can be utilised with unmanned aerial sensors for monitoring physical properties of fresh or wet snow and is expected to contribute significantly to hydrological applications and avalanche studies. This article was authored by Devesh Vaid and Ankar Dixit.


Hi there, I'm Sandy Olnok, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube with another in the 24 Tags of Christmas series of 2018. Every year I create 24 tags and I give them all away. So at the end of this video, I will tell you how you can qualify to win one of the 24 tags of Christmas. We are in video number four out of six. And I am using Impression Obsessions Beautiful Pine Cone. But I wanted to do just the pine cone. I didn't want to stamp the ribbon. And I also wanted to make this fade into the scene. I thought the image in my head was to have some pine branches coming down so that this little pine cone was just hanging in a branch. So I'm stamping onto watercolor paper with Versa Fine Onyx Black Ink, which is waterproof and wiped off the edges. I decided afterward that I wanted to have one hard edge and left the other one soft. And I stamped four of them because in each one of these I'm doing four so that it's a total of 24 tags to give away at the end. And I'm first painting them all with water just to get the paper wet. And while I did that I realized I should probably tilt my board up for this one with the kind of watercolor I want to do. And that's just a little embossing jar back there if you want to know about what height that is. Everything's taped down. Kind of I was thinking of leaving that white edge. I ended up deciding it was going to be better if I cut that off instead of just leaving it the white edge. But I'm using a bunch of colors that were already in my palette, which is one of the reasons I'm not showing because it's a mix of a couple different colors. And it doesn't really matter a whole lot. I just wanted to have some blue sky showing through the tree branch a little bit in some fashion. And then I wanted to add a bit of green so that it starts feeling like I've got something really washy.  What's she doing? Someone take this woman's brush away. But trust me, they're going to be pretty when they're done. I'm also using a one inch flat brush for this. And what I find, I want to do some more experiments with that flat brush because what I find is I get really loose because I can't use that round brush that I'm very used to using. I kind of have to just get washy. So I've been doing a little bit of practice with doing some large paintings just with that flat brush. And one day I'll be brave enough to show one of them. But they're at least fun to try. So I sprayed a little water on here so I could maybe create some water spots. And you can kind of get crazy with it do as much or as little of that as you want to. And then I'm partially heat setting not completely. So the paper is a little bit wet, but it's dry enough on the right hand side that the brown's not going to totally take over in that area outside of the pinecone. And I painted enough on the right hand side and then let it just kind of fade off on the left a little bit. I was planning on spraying it so wasn't too worried about what the shape of that looked like. I just wanted that that kind of fade off. But that one hard edge so that you you still get the idea it's a pinecone. If I still had stamped it like I had started with that soft edge on both sides, I think it wouldn't have read nearly as much like a pinecone. But I really wanted to keep this very loose painting. And I know a lot of people struggle with loose painting, but this will hopefully show you that you can just kind of be a little crazy with it and don't stress out too much. Pay attention to the most important things and don't worry about too many of the others. So I just kept the the brown a little bit in in the pinecone, wiped off some that that bled out beyond it. And now starting with a first layer of of green. And since I just sprayed it, then it is kind of wet still. So I wanted that semi washy, you know, kind of partially dry partially not dry lines of my brush. And I had relatively thin paint decided to add a little bit more brown just splotching a little bit into the pine cones so that I'd have a little sharper contrast little more detail in them and even dropped in some some straight sepia and threw in just that a little bit more for contrast. Now adding that contrast means that I am going to need to add more contrast to the pine boughs. You can't just add it in one place and not have something to balance it else wise. So now that the green is starting to dry a little bit, I decided to start adding a little bit more. But if you want to start adding a little more contrast in there, then you're going to need a little bit drier paper. So I want to just slightly drier um before I started adding more into the trees.  Sorry about that. That's part of the problem of shooting overhead videos. It's often really great, but sometimes it doesn't work out so well. And I'm just holding the brush by the very tippy top. That's why my hand is so much in the way. Usually I'm at more of an angle, but I wanted to get those pine needles to feel like they're they're just kind of flicking in from that outside edge. The paint is mixed much thicker than what I had been using before. That's why I'm getting that dark color. And so I've got I think there's some sap green in there might be a little carbazole violet, but I'm going to add more carbazole violet as we get a little further on because I'm going to want even more contrast because what happened when I added those that sepia onto my uh my little pine cones is that I ended up needing more contrast. It created the need for more so that that pine cone doesn't completely take over. And this really starts to set the tone remembering all the time that watercolor is going to dry about 30 lighter than where it went down. That's just the way watercolor does because watercolor is thing that just dries lighter. So always remember that don't be afraid to go too dark because it's going to happen.  There's a lot of colors you can also lift and that sort of thing if you have specific spots that need help. But I wanted snow to have rested on these and I'm using my white pen to just add some snow spots. Those also are going to add in a little bit more of the definition that I lost when I started adding in some of those dark colors. So you can kind of fix some of those areas if your color didn't get really kind of in the spots you needed. However, I don't know that you necessarily need to go in and paint every one of those little pieces of the pine cone with the proper shadow. On the blog today there's going to be another card that is done with this kind of technique. And I did kind of cut into each one of those little sections more. And so you can see the difference in how it's painted in that one with still a loose background but with more focus on the detail of the pine cone itself. So these came out I think quite beautiful. I layered them onto a piece of watercolor paper underneath and I think they're gorgeous. So four more winners qualify for these tags. If you leave a comment on my blog then you will get to qualify to win. And I'm excited to get these out to somebody. So do visit the blog. Link is in the doobly-doo as well as all the supplies used for this, etc. Except there's no recipe for palette juice. It's just whatever colors were left on my palette. So I will see you guys again tomorrow for another video. Bye-bye.


Hi, I am Sanjitifarisa Kabir. I'm the Associate Director of the Human Rights and Legal Aid Services Program of Brad Bangladesh. I've participated in this year's conference and it was definitely very inspiring to see how much work India has done in the in the land space regarding technology, regarding rights for women. As someone from Bangladesh, it was really interesting to see so many initiatives that were taken and considering the context of India and Bangladesh are so similar. There's a lot of takeaways from just these two days. In terms of the work Brad does, it has been working with land rights since 2011. One of Brad's very strong agendas is regarding promoting women's rights to land. As we have seen from our colleagues in India, the problems in India regarding the recognition of women as landowners is very unfortunately similar to that of Bangladesh. There is a lot of work that needs to be done when it comes to raising awareness but not only that but also trying to change these myths around land rights, these trying to changing social norms and also bringing men into the equation so women are actually recognized as the responsible landowners that they can be. Thank you.


Live from the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. It's theCUBE, covering VMworld 2016. Brought to you by VMware and its ecosystem sponsors. Now, here's your host, Stu Miniman. Welcome back to theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's flagship program here at VMworld 2016 in Las Vegas. Happy to welcome to the program Venugopal Pai, who's the vice president of alliances with Nutanix and Julie O'Brien, who's the vice president of corporate marketing at Nutanix. Thank you so much for joining me. Yeah, thanks for having us. Hi, Stu, good to see you again. All right, so Pai, I spoke with you at Dotnext a couple of months ago. That day it was 118 degrees, I think, here in Vegas. Something like that. I think it's only supposed to hit about 104 right now, but here in the convention center, the air conditioning's on. I'm kind of happy, usually, that I have a jacket. But from an alliances standpoint, give us the update on where you are. VMworld, we always talk a lot about ecosystems and partnerships and some of the complexities there, so where is that? Absolutely, thank you. It's great to be here at VMworld this time around as well. This is like the sixth or seventh time since 2009, we've been here. So it's always been a great show for us. VMworld has always been a great partner as well, despite certain areas of contention that I think every major industry vendor would grapple through as they grow as a company. But I think we are going through those growing pains as any company does. But VMworld has always been a great partner, continues to be at most levels. And us being here in the testament to what our customers, one of us, partners, one of us, and customers depend on the ecosystem to build the business on, right? So it's an important part of, I think, what they depend on and what they build their confidence on.  Can you talk to the engineering relationships? Where are their connections? How do you work together with a company like that? Now, great question. So we work closely with VMware on all aspects of the certification and the validation. Because if you look at where we start as a company, and a lot of our revenue as well in terms of where we grow as a company is based on ESX virtualization but we use your platform, right? So we work very closely with VMware, both on the support side, to make sure that any customer situation that do arise, and they do arise more a lot of times, if they do, we want to make sure that the customer is not penalized in any way, shape, or form, right? So that's one side of it. The second side of it is we go through a lot of certification across the spectrum of the applications and the APIs that VMware puts out either through the storage portfolios or the VCR portfolios. As you look at that spectrum, that integration and the simplicity what they want to see when they're choosing ESX is a fundamental element of how we work with VMware, right? And then as you expand that out, customers want to see more from us as two companies, again part of the ecosystem, right? So we continue to build on that but it also depends on how far we want to take that given, like you said, you know, there's a little bit of competition on the VSAN side, and a little bit of competition on the hypervisor side but nonetheless, I think it's a choice for the customer and I think it depends on what customer wants to deploy and what they choose to deploy should be without a confidence on how they want to make sure that if something goes wrong or if something needs to work, that as two vendors that we work together to make sure that it is successful. So that is the fundamental element of why people have ecosystems, right? And that's fundamental to how we treat ourselves and I hope VMware treats us as well. Sure, Julie, perhaps you can share some of the customer perspective. You're working with customers, you have customers presenting here, we're going to have some of theCUBE this week. How do they see this interrelationship?  You know, I think honestly, the vendors are probably the ones who pay the most attention to it, right? Customers are just, they're looking for a solution. They're expecting that the vendors are going to come together and work together to solve the problem. So I think a lot of the heat that you feel or the friction that you feel tends to really be more at the vendor level and the customers are the ones keeping us honest to do the right thing, which we always will. But yeah, so I think Steve Bunch is going to be here on Wednesday from Wabash to talk about some of the solutions that he's rolling out and should be a great segment for you. Yeah, no. I'm looking forward to it.  There was the recent Cisco news, maybe you can kind of fill us in and you know, how customers drove that because once again, it's one of those, you know, Cisco's made some news about their position on it but about what you're working with customers. So if you look at our ecosystem as a whole, right?  There was 70 partners in the ecosystem, right? And 100 solutions come in now with 11 to 15 API based integrations with a lot of these ecosystem partners. In addition to that, we have Dell and Lenovo's OEM partners that are leading with the HX platform and the XC platform. But we didn't want to stop there because again, like Julie said, it's about what customers want to deploy and how confident they want to fill in deploying our solution. So towards that end, we announced our capability of our software running on the Cisco UCS platform. Couple of weeks ago, literally in Vegas, as you can tell, right? So, and what that led us is really is based on two things. One is customers that demanded their choice of hardware vendor and the choice of Nutanix on that hardware platform, right? And so we bent rightfully so on those customer demands and partner demands. And the press release that we issued, I think couple of weeks ago again, kind of reflected the fact that, you know, partners like Presidio and customers, that basically said, this is a good thing for the industry because it allows Cisco UCS, which is one of the flagship platforms for Cisco as well, with Nutanix's software, allowing them to really build a web-scale architecture. So when they want to build a true enterprise cloud, this allows them to bring the best of two worlds together. So that's kind of what led us towards doing Dell and Lenovo and continuing down the trajectory but at the same time, expanding the portfolio with Cisco. It's interesting because if we look at kind of the maturity of the hyper-converged marketplace, too many people thought of it as boxes. And from the beginning, of course, we understand it as software. From the first time I talked to Dheeraj, which was actually at VMworld, I believe four years ago, it's about distributed architecture and software. So can you talk through, you talked a little bit about some of the OEMs, but maybe expand a little bit more on the role of software.  So everything we do is on a software level. And if you start looking at how that evolves from a product perspective, right? We OEM from Supermicro and we sell it as an NX product, but at the same time, being the software company that we are, we're able to extend that capability so customers that choose to have Dell as the primary hardware vendor can then choose to continue down that thread path, as opposed to saying, you know what, I like Nutanix, I like the software path, but now I'm mandated to go down a hardware path that I'm not comfortable with or I choose not to, right? So then Dell and Lenovo becomes options for them to consider so that this software that we build on abstracts all the capabilities that typically a 3D or 4K architecture would have been mandated to build on, right? And if you look at what's happened over the next last four, five years and over the next two, three years, the evolution of what Intel architecture has done to enable the software to really be empowered even more with NVMe and 3D crosspoint brings the application much, much closer to the storage and almost at the dim level, right? So the evolution of software is truly the future of where we see the industry going and the choice of how customers want to consume this software become their choice that they want to make. So that's the reason we pursued down our continued route of having an NX platform, but at the same time, customers' choice of choosing either Lenovo or Dell, or for that matter Cisco, becomes something that the customers mandate and therefore our responsibility to meet that mandate. Yeah. All right, so Julie, the other thing every time I talk to D.R., I was talking about the culture of the company. You participate in an event here in Vegas around diversity. Maybe you can share with the audience how that was. Yeah, yeah, it was great. So it was a cross-industry event, right? So we had panelists from Dell, from Nutanix, we had a representative from Cisco, and also a woman who works in the Oakland school district to help girls who code basically come together as well as Anya Manuel, who is just fantastic. She's with the Rice Hadley Gates Consultant Group. So she's got a lot of experience that she brings to the table as a lawyer, but also working in the federal government as well. And it was a great opportunity for us to get together and talk about a really hot issue in ITN and tech, which is how do we create a more diverse workplace, right? And just coming to share best practices in terms of things that we could be thinking about together in terms of how do you cast a wider net at the top of the funnel so that you're actually not going back to the same place as time and time again or the same school as time and time again, but just thinking differently about the candidates you might be able to bring into your company. And then also taking a look at whatever things that you can do to retain and grow those people once they're in your organization, right? Not just women, but also Hispanics, African-Americans, right? And thinking through different programs that you could be rolling out that could appeal to those groups as well as people who might be on the cusp of retiring that have a lot of value to bring and want to continue to work. So it was a really great conversation, very empowering, and it was just amazing to see the engagement in the room. It's clearly a hot topic across the industry. So we're going to continue to have that conversation. We're going to roll it out quarterly. Time to some of these big industry events. In fact, the next one that we're going to do is at .next in Europe, which is our user conference. It'll be our inaugural event for Europe that's happening November 7th, and I think you'll be there too, so it'd be great to follow up with you on that as well. Yeah, that sounds great. We're looking forward to we're going to have the cube. It is in Vienna. It's the week, actually, the election, so we'll see where that all lays out. But it's great, it's an absolutely hot button issue. The cube, we're hugely supportive of women in tech. As a matter of fact, you've got a big event coming up in the fall of the third year the cube is doing the Grace Hopper event. So we've actually sponsored fellowships through the ground truth, what's called the tech truth. So very supportive. Jeff Frick's kind of our leader of that in the valley, and obviously a hot button in Silicon Valley. So, Julie, it's, you work for a tech company in the valley, anything you took back from the panel that you saw? I think there was a lot of good advice from different experiences, different personal experiences. One of the programs that we're looking to roll out is called New Flex. And it basically is a program to appeal to either employees that may have either aging parents that they need to take care of, or they need to downshift a little bit because they're dealing with some family issues, or again, they could be on the cusp of retiring and don't necessarily want to fully exit the workforce. So we're just starting to pilot that program, but we're really curious to see what kind of talent that's going to bring into the company. For people who maybe thought, you know what, how can I really work at a kind of a fast moving place like Nutanix, right? So it's 20 hours and we'll let you know in three months what that looks like. But a lot of good advice from across the women who we're presenting and sharing. And a lot around really looking for not just mentors, but also sponsors, people who put their social capital on the line to really be invested in you as an individual and to not be afraid to ask. I think that sometimes women in particular, we hope if we do a great job, it's just going to get noticed and great things will happen. And you need to be an active participant in your career, kind of be the CEO of your own career. Great, so I want to give you both just a chance. Any kind of big takeaways from Nutanix here at VMworld as people either that didn't get to see the whole show or that are watching remote, what would you want to share, Pi? I think the big takeaways is I think it was great to see customers time and again come and visit. It was good to catch up with a lot of the customers and partners that are visiting here as well. So I think it was a great event. It continues to be a great event that we continue to foster and be a part of. And as we look forward to the VMworld Europe and the V forums that are coming up, I think it's VMware has really done a great job in bringing all of us together and building an ecosystem that you see around here. And that's something that is hugely applauded. So it's good to be part of this. Yeah, clearly a lot of excitement around the enterprise cloud, which is fantastic. And I was just on the booth a few minutes ago and just the crowds that are trying to learn, trying to engage and learn what this is going to mean for their business are really fantastic. And just to echo what Pi was saying, we're really active in the Vmugs. And I think it's been a great platform to be part of that kind of conversation with other ecosystem members in terms of what that means for solutions for customers. So good stuff. Yeah, great. Julia, Brian, Venegopal Pi, thank you so much for joining us. We'll be back with lots more coverage here from VMworld 2016 in Las Vegas. You're watching theCUBE. Thank you.
