You two team keep it clean. You know what's going on the same grave in here with another video and then this video we got I guess we're doing some more NFL questions from subscribers lifestyle And these questions came from a guy one came from a guy The one they he asked if He said even though the Ravens drafted all those wide receivers And they tried to sign there's Brian before and that obviously didn't go through He said is there still a chance that the Ravens signed there's Brian because he said Ian Rappaport reported that says that it's still a chance that There's Brian would actually end up in Baltimore even after the draft Even with the receivers that they got so is it a possibility? We're gonna talk about that Then my guy. Oh, I don't want to I don't want to forget his name one second Okay, my guy Rekus Rekus Rekus he hit me up On Twitter and he asked. Oh, and it's such a good question Y'all be coming with these questions recently I think since some people been asking these some questions that are just so good It made everybody else step their questions up and he asked What the Ravens have been wrong? To draft Lamar Jackson if Flacco made the playoffs last year Anyway before we get into those let me introduce myself and happy Friday everybody. I'm glad it's Friday I'm happy for the weekend excited for the weekend, but me. I'm engraving visit. This is my YouTube channel engraving vids I'm a Ravens fan, but on here. We just talked football period So no matter what team you a fan of no matter who you like who you dislike Make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel turn your notifications on leave a like on the video click the thumbs up button We got 30 people up in here right now, but it's only 10 we got 32 people up in here right now But it's only 10 we got 33 people up in here right now But it's only 11 likes make sure y'all leave a like on the video click the thumbs up button Come on y'all.

That's just they they they scoping they scoping they act like they play in an FPS game They're watching and waiting, but they're not clicking the thumbs up button. Anyway, shout out to everybody That's up in here right now. Thank you all. I love you all. I appreciate you all just know that so Is there a chance again? Shout out to my guy marquee 718 he been rocking with the channel for a long time I know them names that been around for such a long time Especially the ones that interact with the channel. So I appreciate you my friend but um He acts as a stellar chance that there's Brian cosine with the Ravens even after the draft even after the receivers that they got And all that yes, there is there most certainly is How likely is that chance? I think it just all depends on how things shape up it depends on injuries It depends on how the receivers impressive depends on how the 53 man roster is shaping up Even though he could be signed before then and I would think if there's Brian is signed before them Ravens don't really take the Patriots approach Patriots could right now They could sign him right now and then he he could end up not even making a 53 man roster But it's different with Baltimore Baltimore the different team in the Patriots, especially when it comes to receivers They need better receivers in Baltimore than they do in New England. New England will make they'll they'll have a Dude who's cutting grass last week. They'll put him at receiving then he'll make he'll get like 60 67 catches 900 some yards six seven touchdowns and whatever. That's not what we do over here, but it's okay. It's all good anyway, um If we signed there's Brian then he would be making that 53 man roster But the reason I use Patriots as an example because they did it with Ocho Cinco Well, he made the 53 man roster then he got cut after a little while But they did it with Reggie Wayne remember when they signed Reggie Wayne when they signed Reggie Wayne remember that He was on a Patriots everybody like oh man Reggie Wayne on the Patriots. He got cut He didn't even make the team. He didn't even make the team and yes They would got they would have money for theirs Brian man Ravens could they could do it Brandon Lloyd Then he made the team. No, I thought he made the team Brandon Lloyd wasn't here beef with the 49ers Then all of a sudden he just fell off and then that was it. That was it But anyway, it could happen it just it depends on how things shape up with these rookies OTAs next week. So that's gonna tell a little bit of a story even though. That's not really physical Once we get to many cams then that'll tell more of a story But it's a possibility it's a possibility it could really happen it could happen Would I be for it or against it? Strictly man. It's tricky. I would be I would still be neutral on it I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't be mad at it at all But I just know what it could do Ravens the the negative See if they did sign this Brian Well, we're gonna go over the positive and a negative shout out to y'all in the comments section because y'all come through with some great comments Which I love I love I love I love. Oh, I need it to get over. You know what I'm getting over Anyway, shout out to my turning signal and shout out to me having to wait for this car getting in the lane So I can go is one of y'all gonna let me go over. Come on y'all this team keep it clean It's got to be team. Let me over to somebody anybody somebody anybody going once going twice not going at all Well, it's about to be sold to engraving vids cutting somebody off now. I'm not doing that. Anyway. Oh, okay Alright, I guess these these cars just keep popping up out of nowhere man. What's up Gavin? Do we really need a locker room headache? I Mean what what are you talking about? I mean Alice Collins already get enough for those with his migraines But anyway, so we already got locker room headaches. I wink wink. You see that dad joke I just did right there. There's Brian the positive is sign of death Brian You got somebody that can be a playmaker. You got somebody that um, he can be physical You got somebody of course everybody's gonna say. Oh, yeah, he can't separate. Oh, yeah He can't do that but if if black O could put it on the money for him if black O could get a chemistry with him, he'll be just fine man and Flacco got the ability to it's just can you do it consistently flack? We'll see But you got somebody that can do some stuff You got somebody with a little heart.  Is he gonna have drops? Yes, is anybody gonna have drops on the Ravens? Yes, that's just what Ravens do We produce receivers that drop but we didn't produce him. He's already produced But yeah, he could he could come on a team and he could do some stuff He could shake some stuff up But the the downfall to that we drafted a Jordan lastly we drafted a Jaleel Scott we drafted those guys and We drafted them with hopes of them being our receivers of the future So with that being said if there's Bryant would have come on the team He would make the roster no doubt, but those other guys not both of those two would make the roster that would put He would put jobs in jeopardy. He will put spots in jeopardy So there will be some guys right now who would make the team But if we signed there's Bryant some of those guys would not make the team So he would take somebody else's spot and we could try to put that that somebody else on a practice squad But they may end up getting plucked from the practice squad or they may end up something else could happen So I wouldn't I wouldn't mind I wouldn't mind if they did it Okay, Michael Blackman said he wouldn't mind either. He said watching TO's viz. I think I'd rather give him a shot Oh rather give to a shot. Oh, okay. Yeah, Tio. He's still working out still. It's good man. Shout out to Terrell Owens, man Fun fact, Flacco is the ninth highest paid quarterback. Shout out to Flack getting his money then man SM 35 said that he would rather see them pay Moseley I mean there's Brian there He wouldn't be taking it ain't like he would take some big chunk of the salary cap and take away from Moseley's money Not at all man, they wouldn't be paying him that much. No, no, not at all They would not be paying him that much. You see this dude ain't get signed yet.  They are cheap So you already know that they looking and they like oh man there's Brian still sitting there Oh, we saved ourselves a whole lot of money We saved ourselves a whole lot of dead money just in case we cut him next year We saved ourselves a whole lot of guaranteed money just in case we sign him this year We saved ourselves a whole lot of money because we did not sign him and we were gonna do three years 21 mil But what we might have looked we're not necessarily look like fools because if we were to sign him for that much We will never have known what other teams would have given him But now we know since we didn't sign him for that much because he ain't get signed from nobody He just sitting there. He's sitting there. So Now he just posted posted and again, like I said, I got all the respect in the world for there's Brian He turned down the Ravens. I did say I was laughing at him and I am but um If for a man to bet on himself, I got nothing but respect for that If you willing to take the chance on yourself To where you decide not to sign with a team not to accept a job because you feel that that job might not be the best fit For you or you can find a better fit for a job somewhere else. Hey, no problem with that I got zero problem with that, especially if you are in a situation where you can already take care of your family Which there's Brian is definitely in that situation already. So he's well paid. Um, so he's fine on that but I don't know. I mean another another way that I look at it. Yes, there's Brian He could bring he could a nice receiver will come to the table He definitely he would help us continue to upgrade all of our all of our receivers from last year That'd be a good thing. Now another good thing was not necessarily a good thing, but it's a thing thing Ravens with developing wide receivers. That is not their specialty. That's not their forte That's not what they're good at. That's not what they do. Um, so Yes, we did draft Jordan lastly. We did draft Jaleel Scott But who knows how those guys are going to turn out who knows how good or bad the ravens are going to develop those guys Who knows if they'll even make it um to their second contracts with the ravens or with any other teams The the Jaleel Scott, that's a six foot five guy belief. Um I'm hearing that they think he's more of like a project wide receiver Ravens don't do good with projects. They don't do good with receivers. They don't do good with projects and those things Just never max. I mean they never miss and match good for well for the ravens Um, so remember the last project they had The last project the ravens had was uh, Kenan Reynolds and we saw he he just got signed by the seahawks Who I hope they let them play quarterback though and now put them at wide receiver because that's what the raven why would you So it frustrates me about the ravens sometime. Why would you draft somebody that played quarterback in college? They got one pass In college Why would you draft somebody that played quarterback in college and try to change them to wide receiver? Why would you do that? Why would you do that? I I didn't get that move. I never got it and you Did you would you think that he would make the roster? Would you think that he would make the roster that like come on now? No, everybody ain't julian edamon man, and ravens are not good at doing that. That's not their specialty Don't even care about julian edamon. No julian edamon is one in a million and ravens them other uh, 999 100,000 or whatever. Uh, that ain't what ravens be hitting for they that's not what they do They they're not good at that. They I don't know why they did that. Why why would you do that? Anyway, um, so that was the first question great question. By the way Great question. By the way c2l prior. Okay, two in a million two two in a million. Um, but anyway next question Um, my guy asks with the ravens if fleco would have made the playoffs last year Would they have been wrong for drafting? lamar jackson Love that question don't love this guy that was that went in front of me when he wasn't supposed to But I do love that question So shout out to that question and shout out to this guy Who shouldn't be in front of me right now because he didn't have the right away But you know what that's people and that's how they drive. So it is what it is Anyway, would the ravens be wrong for drafting lamar? Like I went to the playoffs last year. No Not at all Because they know how this offense operates and know it's not all flakko But a a change at quarterback could mean a big change in the offense um One quarterback can change the game. He can light up the offense Especially if he can he has so many different weapons like lamar jackson has um They said he needs to work on his passing blah blah blah blah blah Hey, if you're a playmaker you're a playmaker and yes If he can work on his passing if he can be a great passer I heard he was a good passing See, I can't speak on it because I just don't know and I'm not going to speak on something that I'm naive to But with lamar jackson If he can come in man and just do what he did in college. I know it's a different ball game I know it's not college. I know the game is fast. I know that blah blah blah blah blah but Michael vick a He played in college. He did his thing in college and guess what he did in nfl He came in and killed it. He came in and killed it so, I mean All that saying that college is slower than nfl which it is fine. That's fine. You can say that but yes, I don't care The nfl was filled with players that have all been in college So when people say that oh Engraving the the nfl so much faster than college there Of course, it is who didn't who thought that the that college was faster than the nfl or as fast Of course, it's not. That's old news. But People adjust people adjust people make changes so When people say that oh, it's it's it's a lot faster than nfl I don't know if this guy's gonna make it because because college is a different game than nfl Course it is man. Of course it is but people adjust People adjust everybody who's on the team right now was in college before Everybody who's in the nfl right now was in college before so when people say that It's like what are you talking about? You got to come up with something better than that. But anyway I just pulled up to the house I'm home. I love y'all appreciate y'all Thank you for coming through. Thank you for these questions These were two great questions and again people are making other people step their questions up, man But I love y'all make sure you subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. I'm out. Love y'all leave a like on a video Thank you. Thank you. Thank you and we going man. Appreciate y'all. See y'all next time man. Thank you


Statistics and Excel. Wages, data box plot or box and whiskers. Get ready, taking a deep breath, holding it in for 10 seconds, looking forward to a smooth, soothing Excel. First, a word from our sponsor. Well, actually, these are just items that we picked from the YouTube shopping affiliate program. But that's actually good for you, because these aren't things that were just given to us from some large corporation which we don't even use in exchange for us selling them to you. These are things that we actually researched, purchased and used ourselves. Focusrite Scarlet Solo 3rd Gen USB interface with software suite. I've been using a focusrite for years for my audio needs before which time I had a USB microphone which plugged directly into the computer. But I think you'll find as I have found, if you want to increase the quality of your microphone, you will need an interface and the focusrite is the go to interface as far as I'm concerned. I've been using this for years now. It works well. It's easy to use. It seems quite durably built because I only do the screen recordings. I only need the one solo interface. However, if you have multiple microphones you need to plug in or if you have other instruments you need to plug in, you can look at a similar model that has more input ports. If you would like a commercial free experience, consider subscribing to our website at accountinginstruction.com or accountinginstruction.thinkific.com where we have many different courses. You can purchase one at a time or have a subscription model giving you access to all the courses, courses which are well organized, have other resources like Excel files and PDF files to download and no commercials. Here we are in Excel. If you don't have access to this workbook, that's okay because we'll basically build this from a blank worksheet and therefore you can just open up a blank worksheet. If you do have access to this workbook, we have three tabs down below. Example, practice blank. Example, in essence, answer key, practice tab, having pre-formatted cells within it so you can focus in on the core component of the practice problem. The blank tab, just having the data set within it so we can practice formatting the cells as we go. Let's take a look at the example tab, the answer key to see where we will be going. We're going to be sorting our data. This data is related to wages so we're imagining we have a set of data possibly for an organization for wages that we would like to glean some insights from. We're going to do so by creating a box and whisker chart on the right hand side. That's really what we're focused in on in this presentation and then in future presentations we will continue on to analyze the box and whisker chart with our analysis tools over here. We'll also make another box and whiskers just to note that you can put them on a side by side if you had two sets of data and then we'll compare the box and whiskers to a histogram type of format as we lead in to then starting to talk about histograms and the dynamics of them. So if I go to the tab to the right, the practice tab, we have some pre-formatted cells over here so you can more easily simply put in your box and whiskers if you wanted to do that without the formatting. And the blank tab, we just have a list of numbers. Now note that if you don't have access to this workbook you can look up wages for a particular area if you so choose. We've talked about different methods that you can pull data from if you want to get some practice data to work with. Obviously you can type in the data if you so choose if you want your information to tie out exactly to this information. Although I know that's a little bit tedious. One of the methods that you can use in Excel to get some data would be to use a random selection of data. Although then you would want to adjust it to have some outliers and whatnot so you can kind of get an idea of what's going to happen with your box plot. So to do that you can say equals in a cell and you want to take the random between so that you can choose the bottom and top. And so you have your function here and basically most of our numbers here are between like 65 and 75. So if I took the random of 65 and then I say comma the next argument on the top is like 75 and then close up the brackets. You'll get some random numbers and if I copy that down I can then get a set of random numbers and then you might want to add some outliers to it. Now obviously when you have random numbers you can get an idea of what the outcomes are going to be because you would think they would be coherent to some randomness. Whereas if you had actual numbers in the real world you're going to see possibly different trends that are going to be different than simply random. So the kind of things you're looking for the differences between the random and what actually is in the world and what those differences might be telling us. Alright in any case this is going to be our set of numbers on the right. I'm going to scroll in a bit so I'm going to hold control down and scroll in. I'm currently at 205 you can also do it by hitting this plus button over here and then I'm going to format my entire worksheet. I do this basically every time I'm going to select the triangle button up top. I'm going to put my underlying baseline formatting and then I'll format other cells that might be different or deviant from that baseline formatting. So I like doing this by right clicking formatting the cells. Here's my formatting box. I'm in the numbers group. I will typically format with the I like the actually what I've been currency and then negative numbers are bracketed but no dollar signs and then I don't really need decimals here. I'm going to move the decimals because we're working in thousands and then when I need decimals I'll add them to those particular cells. I'm going to say okay. I'll also bold them home tab font and bold. And I think that's easier just for the presentation purposes or you might just like the bold might stand out if you have bad eyes like me or something like that at least. Then you could use that let's put a let's put a header up top so I want to put something above up top here so I could put a header on it. So the easiest way to do that is to select an entire row putting my cursor on the one selecting the entire row and there's nothing on the right hand side. That's why it's the easiest thing to do because I don't need to tell Excel hey I would like you to move this group down. I could just say just add an entire row so it's one less click than moving the entire thing down so I could just say insert. Insert notice it doesn't say insert cells insert a column because I have the entire row selected so it inserts there and then I'm going to put up top I'll just say wages as a header. And then I'm going to I like to put this whole thing into a table before we create the box and whiskers so I'm going to put my cursor anywhere within here and then I'm going to go into the insert up top tab. So remember these are the tabs up top insert tab and then in the tables group in the insert tab section we want to insert a table. Now I only have one thing selected so the dancing ants I know it looks like they're marching but if you looked at them close they would they'd be really grooving they'd be grooving like their hips are moving everywhere man. But you can't tell because we're but any case if you select those then then you can say OK and it'll pick up the entire table which will result in a new table tab up to the right. So if I'm off the table no table tab if I'm on the table there's a table tab what we really want to do here is now organize the data top to bottom that's usually one of the ways we can organize the data. If I look at this data and I just took a random sample. I just looked at people's salaries basically an alphabetical order or something like that and I picked up their salary numbers then alphabetical orders not going to tell me much right about this this ray of numbers. The first thing that I would want to do is say hey if I put this an order from top to bottom then I can get a vision I can at least get a visual look at what what is happening so that's clearly what we will typically do. I don't have to do that by the way in order to enter or create a box and whisker the box and whisker will figure it out the chart. But the first thing we would do and we're analyzing the data would probably be I want to see it from Z to a Z to a. And so now we've got the highest on top and like alright now I can get a sense of kind of where this where this group of people are are lying in this number set. Now the next thing we might do is start pulling some some break this data down using the average the the mean using quartiles and whatnot. But let's first makes the box and whisker chart and then we'll kind of analyze some of those other numbers in accordance with the box and whiskers will also get into some more of the math. On those kind of analytics later but for now we just want to get a pictorial representation. So to do that I can select the entire thing this way there's some faster ways you can select like if I click the data like that I can select the data that way. But I'm going to include the header here too so I'll select it I'll just drag it down select the data I'm going to scroll back up again and then I'm going to go into the insert. And then we're in so that's the insert tab we're in the charts group within the insert tab. And now we want to look at this one here now the history notice it kind of looks like a histogram not the box and whiskers because the histogram is really kind of like the go to oftentimes for sorting our data which we'll talk about later. The box and whiskers like you can kind of imagine I imagine it kind of like before before we had the the Excel and whatnot it's probably easier to draw by hand like a box and whiskers right. Whereas it's a little bit more difficult to draw like a histogram if you're going to do it kind of by hand. So the box and whiskers possibly is maybe a little bit more outdated although it's it's still a nice visual effect here and then next time we'll get into the comparison of it and kind of like the histogram. So let's go into the box and whiskers there we have it and boom so now we've got this pictorial representation and I'll put it I'll just put it right here for now. We'll get into some more kind of idea of what exactly the box and whiskers is doing but for now let's format this I'm going to get rid of the title at least for now. So remember we can format these items it won't I messed it up delete the title make it a little bit bigger notice if I'm off the chart. I'll try to make it a little bit bigger this way then I don't have those two tabs up top if I go on to the chart just like we saw with our bar graph we get these two tabs up top so with the chart design. You've got the add chart elements you know the accesses and so on the quick layouts you've got the color changes and whatnot that you can do to it and everything blues the standard. So usually you probably want to change it from blue if you're trying to impress somebody because otherwise they're like yeah you just pick the standard one. And you could change it you can change these this is an easy way to change it as well here's your data sets. So if I go into my data sets we can see the data that was pulled in if we edit the data set you can see the data set in this format that we pulled in to the box and whiskers and if you wanted to add another data set that have two on the same graph for example then you can add it this way that's one way that you can kind of add a data set. So and then change the type you've got the formatting up top and this gets more into like the formatting stuff the current the the formatting selection that you know how you're going to the shape fills and all that kind of stuff within your now this so you know that gets a little bit confusing when you look at the formatting because you're like hey some of that stuff's kind of repeated possibly over here in the homepage. But when you're working within you know a chart or a graph you're typically going to want to go to the formatting on the right hand side which is specific to it. Now if I click on any of these elements within it so if I if for example I have a lot of empty space back here which is kind of squishing up the box and whiskers up top. So I might say hey look can I just start this thing maybe at like 50 or something like that and take it up to like 85 maybe and then it'll be a bigger thing so one way I can do is I can I can click in here. And that will give me on the right hand side if I go to the right hand side I'm on my axis so if I select the axis here. So now I mean these are the numbers that I'm kind of working that I'm focused in on so the minimum is at zero what if I pull that minimum up to like like 50. So now it went from auto it didn't just auto assign it I forced it to start at 50 so now it started at 50 so we don't have all that blank space we have a little bit wider of a box and then I can maybe I'll put the top at like 85000. And so now we have a little bit wider of a pictorial representation now you have your other formatting options over here with you know the shadow and the glow this more kind of of the formatting I won't get into that in too much detail at this point. But if you wanted to you know change some of those elements any of the elements within here you can click on these elements and again you could go into the information that is related to it in particular. We also have the plus button so that gives us our accesses so if we want to label the accesses we probably don't need this one down here right so I could probably remove the one. And so so this is the access title now on this one I again I probably don't need this access maybe but I might want like this access to be you know wages or maybe I just put the title you know as wages since it's a box and whisker and then I can if I go into these chart title data labels. This could be helpful depending on how large the item is right so we can add the labels to it and I can give you a sense of exactly you know what is going on and then the legend which would be applicable if you had like multiple data sets that that you were working with so. So that's the general idea so next time we'll get into more detail exactly you know what what this is saying and we'll basically tie it out with the reason I don't want to get into it in detail now is because. We can like do the math with it and we can do a formula to see exactly what is going on so we'll pick up you know quartile one quartile to the median the average and what the outliers. Basically mean and how exactly they are calculated and once you have a sense of that then it'll be easier to kind of just intuitively look at this. However at this point I also just want to note that we could put multiple box and whisker charts which might be a useful tool in one area so let's go ahead I'm going to I'm going to copy and paste the data set over here to column R. And then make a simple formula just to make another data set just so we can see that what that comparison might look like. So if I go in if I select this entire column I'm going to put my cursor on a so the drop down so now the entire column all the way down is selected I only need it down to the end of the table. But this is the way to copy the whole thing I can right click and I can copy it and then I'm going to move over here to column R. So I'm in column R. And then I'm going to put my cursor on R1 I can't put it on R2 by the way because if I did and I try to paste it on R2 there's not enough room because I copied the entire column even though I only really need so I have to put it on R1 right click and paste. And so there's our wages so I'm this time I'm going to call it wages one and then let's make a wages two. Now note that when I hit enter on wages two it automatically updated my table because it's it's because I put something in right next to the table. And so Excel saying hey you probably want to add that to the table and we do so that's that's fine. So now we're going to say I'm just going to do a little formula here and I'm just going to say this equals the one to the to the left of it times one point one. So we're going to add 10% to it so 100% plus 10% just to get a similar but different data set. And so if I hit enter Excel guesses that we want to do that to every line and we do so good job Excel thank you. We appreciate the help and looking out for us there always thinking thinking ahead to what we're what we need like a good staff member or something. So then if I select these two then let's do it that let's just copy the data set. I'll just copy the entire thing then we can then insert. So I'm going to go to insert and then I'm going to go to the charts and the histogram here and we want the box and whiskers. So there's our two box and whiskers now that have been placed side by side. So that's just the you know that again just could give us a different kind of visualization. Let's do the same kind of formatting we did with it so I probably don't need this one down here. I can remove that I can I can say let's go into the side part and let's say that we're going to bring it back up to 50. So I'm going to bring it back up to the minimum of let's say 55,000 I said this time that's what I had in my example and then we'll keep the top. Let's make the top like 95,000 95,000 so it zooms in a bit more so that looks good and so I can close that I'll make this maybe a little wider. If I hit the drop down the access titles may maybe I need I can just say let's get rid of this access and this one I'm going to just call it wages. Okay and then the chart title I may not need because I have it right there the data labels those are kind of neat maybe to have although they're kind of convoluted. But and then the legend here here we kind of need a legend right because now we have two data sets so now I have to say that this is data set one in the blue and data set two in the orange. Now if you if you go into the options of the legend you could put it on the right left on the bottom and so on but now that's what a legend is right that's when you need the legend. Clearly we don't need a legend if we only had one one of these items in place so it's too wide we'll put it like right there. All right so any case that's so that if I if I select on on the data by the way and we or if we go into our data selection now you'll note that I have now two sets of data so on the same graph. So notice I did that by selecting the two sets of data but I could have if I added the data and I wanted to add it to the same graph. Like if I didn't have you know this data set and I only had this data set well then then I could say okay now I've added this other column I already made my graph instead of deleting the graph. And then selecting both columns or maybe these columns weren't next to each other or something like that I can add another data set. And I'm going to say this is you know what wages wages to that will have here and we'll say that this comes from this data. And by the way there are shortcuts like if I put my cursor up top here and then I hold down a control shift and the down arrow just to show that again. It's a little bit faster right so like like if you get fast at this because this data set could be quite long so when you like go like this and you got to select the entire thing it could be kind of tedious. If it's in a table format you can put your cursor right at the top so it looks like that arrow and then select it. And so now it's selecting just that data you see the dancing answer grooving right there. And then if you if you put your cursor on the first one and you hold down control shift and then down arrow control shift down arrow. It takes you to the bottom and highlights to the last number if you have blank spaces in the data by the way which is a problem. You don't really want blank spaces in the data but if you did then then you might have to hit the down arrow you know like a couple times. And then when you want to go back up you can you can select control and the backspace not delete but the backspace and that'll take you back up to the top. So that so that when you hit enter you're going to be at you know the top of the of the item here and that'll also help you to kind of see what you're looking at if you were in a formula. So we'll try to touch on that from time to time those little tricks but there's the there's the the two side by side. So in future presentations we're going to be continuing on with this worksheet and we'll analyze some of the components of this box plot and then we'll compare it to like a histogram of the same data.

Fills this room.  I've never seen a man Never stop never stop Never stop never stop. I don't see it's your work. Never stop Never stop So poor just let me see you just let me see you beauty There's so much fruit coming from this place. So we live some of you May not be able to actually join in because of some technical difficulties that we have but if for some reason you are able to join us The good news is even when the technology that we have to get the Prayer meeting out isn't necessarily working our open line of communication with heaven still is And so we're gonna pray because we're we're talking to the father We're coming before him and so today we're praying for walls to be broken down Walls to be broken down walls that partition us away from one another and between us and God Ephesians chapter 2 says but now in Christ Jesus You who wants were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ for he himself is our peace Who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility By abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two So making peace that he might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross Therefore killing the hostility. So we're praying today for those walls of hostility the walls of separation walls that divide us Beginning with what sin does to divide us from God But then also what sin does to divide us from one another and if there's ever been a time right now Where we need walls to be torn down where we need a Jericho anointing to break down walls It's today. So we're praying this.    Let's thank him Jesus Lord we come dancing into your presence With the name above all names on our tongues today The name of the Son of God the beautiful savior the one who went to the cross for the joy that was set before him He endured the punishment and the shame of the cross for our benefit Lord our heart is overflowing with gratitude today Lord just in awe Speechless that you would love us like that And we come in that name. We don't come in our own name We don't come in our own authority today and as we're asking you to move God as we're asking you to move in our lives We're not asking it in our own strength Lord. We know that in and of our own strength in our own name We don't have the power on our signature To see those things that we need come to pass But we know that in the name of Jesus all things are possible We know that the name of Jesus makes the gates of hell tremble It causes demons to flee We know that in the name of Jesus sickness and disease is vanquished We know that in the name of Jesus everything that sin has brought to pass is Reversed and blessed in the name of Jesus and it's in that name that we come and we declare Together that you Jesus are our peace You're the wall destroyer God Lord there was no wall that sin could build that you did not dock down Lord you are our peace We don't have peace with the father because we somehow have earned it We can't make peace with in ourselves by our own initiative, but Lord you are our peace Jesus you told the disciples.   We say Jesus You are our peace today Whatever battle is raging around us or within us. We just speak the name of Jesus right now Wherever you're at you speak the name of Jesus and receive the peace of God Tell him right now just say Jesus. You are my peace You are my peace into this room into this room Residence is our peace Walk through the walls of our life right now the walls that we've erected to protect ourselves Lord the walls that we've allowed to be built through bitterness and disappointment the walls that fear has built the walls of prejudice The walls that have separated brother from brother The walls of our own making that we've hid behind trying to keep you out till we fixed all the things in our lives Lord Jesus, you're the one who walks through walls Walk through the walls of our life and step into our lives bring your peace right now Just speak peace over our cities right now Lord, I just speak over the 150 cities in America right now that are experiencing riots on one side of the protest and the riots There's fear. There's anger. There's frustration. There's injustice and on the other side of the wall There's fear. There's anger and Lord. I'm saying Would you step into the middle where the wall is and would you just tear it down? tear it down God Bring justice, but bring peace Bring answers Lord bring reconciliation right now and be the one who comes and tears the wall down Let it be in our cities right now that peace would be spoken Not just to quell and go back to the way things were but Lord would you bring real peace? Lord, would you bring real reconciliation? Lord, would you bring your presence? to incubate over our cities in Genesis chapter 1 it said in the middle of darkness and chaos The spirit of the living God was hovering over the deep. He was hovering over the darkness He was incubating holy spirit You were incubating over the darkness and calling out the light Calling out order calling out truth calling out the will of God when he said let there be light and there was And we speak right now and we say holy spirit incubate over our cities Incubate over the unrest of our nation right now that is darkness that is chaos that is void And would you begin to bring about the word of God bring it to pass we say let there be light Lord, let there be truth right now Let there be the will of God over our cities Lord. Let justice roll Let unity rise up between brothers and brothers Between black and white between brown and white between all the races Lord Let there be unity in Jesus.  There's no other hope for us We need you you are our reconciliation You are the one who comes and in you Jesus walls are torn down We're praying across America right now that you would begin to demonstrate what racial Reconciliation and what true justice looks like through the body of Christ You've already torn down the walls in our life Lord tear them down in our cities right now In the name of Jesus Lord, it says you tore down the dividing wall of hostility and Lord I'm praying right now But you would tear down the wall of hostility between law enforcement and the african-american community and the minority communities Lord, let there be reconciliation there Lord, let police officers rise up in truth and injustice And demonstrate love let there be forgiveness Lord, let there be healing Do a miracle in our day where it seems like there's an impenetrable wall let there be softness in our hearts towards one another Let there be softness in our hearts towards one another Let there be grace Your word says in Isaiah chapter 2 or Isaiah chapter 1 it says come and let us reason together Come and let us reason together Lord I'm praying that you would set a table in the middle of every major city Lord that you would prepare a table in our nation for brothers and for Sisters and for black and for white and For people that have found themselves on opposite sides of the walls to come and to sit down at the table and to Reason together though your sins be a scarlet.  This is a spiritual battle Principalities and powers that love to see destruction they love to see division But Jesus you came to bring unity you came to bring healing Jesus you are our peace Tear down the dividing walls of hostility and let there be reasoning let there be unity Let there be peace let there be justice Amos 5 says let justice roll like a river Down upon our cities and down upon the streets that we live in Lord not justice like one side says this is justice Not man's justice. Let it be heaven's justice Let it be God's justice Lord come down Ren the heavens and come down and bring your peace in Jesus name Jesus you are the answer You are the answer to this generation Lord you are the answer to what's wrong in the world So we look to you we look to the cross When we look at the cross we see sacrifice When we look to the cross we see humility When we look to the cross We see love Philippians 2 says that He took upon himself the form of a bond servant and he came in the likeness of men And he was obedient even to the point of death upon the cross Jesus when we look to the cross We see our way forward We laid on our rights Lord we declare that in our nation and in the this generation It doesn't matter what nation we find ourselves on the face of the earth the only answer is found in the cross The only reconciliation we have to God is through Jesus it's through the blood that was shed But your intentions are to take everything that has been divided and bring it all together in Christ Jesus To reconcile all things in heaven and in earth Through the blood of Jesus. So Holy Spirit we ask you come Holy Spirit come Come to your church Come to leaders all over America right now Lord. I'm praying for the president of the United States Lord, I'm praying for governors in every state of the Union Lord, I'm asking that our leaders would stop being children and they would rise up to be leaders I'm praying Lord. They would set aside their petty politics and their issues of photo ops and Platforms and that there would be a humility in them that was found in Jesus And I'm praying that leaders would say come and let us reason together I'm praying that mayors over every city and spiritual leaders across America would put aside childish things and Would come in a spirit of humility to listen to understand and to reason together and in the middle of it all Holy Spirit you would show up Holy Spirit show up in every cabinet room Show up in the White House show up in the Senate and in the Congress and in the House of Representatives Holy Spirit show up in the halls of justice across America Lord show up in the black communities Show up in the predominantly white suburbs Show up in the Hispanic areas Lord show up in every aspect of our society Spirit of the living God with sin abounds grace this much more abound and we're saying Holy Spirit come Holy Spirit come we need you Holy Spirit come and make us one bring peace and find Lord help us to find our answers through the example of the cross Jesus you are our only hope But you are our hope Hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been shed abroad by the Holy Spirit in our hearts Hope arise right now in the people of God all over this nation. Let hope arise Jesus you are our hope Hope arise right now. Let vision arise of one new man Let hope arise let vision For what the church should be what it will be what it must be a rise in the hearts of your people right now We pray in Jesus name That today we believe that hope is rising God is moving You know it was the first day that God said that let there be light He spoke it out of darkness and when we see the darkness cover in the face of the earth get ready Because God's about to speak let there be light So we're looking for the day. We're looking for the dawn of hope believing God's tearing down walls We're praying that God's gonna use you to be a peacemaker God's gonna use you to be an intercessor and a flag bearer of the of the cross of Jesus Christ Listen, we're sorry about the technical difficulties, but I know that God has hurt us today We look forward to you joining us tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. For morning prayer, so we'll see you then God bless you


If you've ever been to the Holy Land, I hope you've had the joy of going south from Galilee, all the way down the River Jordan to Jericho, and then turning right and going up the hill.  It's a long way because Jericho is the lowest point on the face of the earth, well below sea level. And Jerusalem, where you're heading for, is about 1,500 feet above sea level. So it's a long climb, whether you do it on foot or in a car or on donkey or anything else. And as the pilgrims in ancient times would make that journey, going to Jerusalem for the festivals, they would sing the songs of what we call the songs of ascents, which means the going up songs. And there are several of these, and in the Psalms there are numbers 120 to 134. So Psalm 132, which we're looking at now, is near the end of that sequence, and it's much longer than the rest of them, as though it is designed to give you the larger picture of why you're going to Jerusalem in the first place, why you should care, what's special about Jerusalem. And this provides them the rationale that says this is where God has promised to meet with his people. And that sense of going up to Jerusalem, of course, carries on into the Gospel stories, particularly in Luke, from Luke 9 all the way to Luke 19, there is a sense of Jesus and his followers being on this journey, going up to Jerusalem. So we're singing a Jesus song here, and as Christian interpreters we can see the original meanings and imagine how they are being retrieved in Jesus' day by his fellow Judeans and then by Jesus and his followers themselves. The thing that Psalm 132 is saying is residually odd for us modern Western persons. We tend to think that if God is going to do anything or be anything in the world, it would be undemocratic if God just did something in one place rather than every place or for one person rather than for everybody. But when we read the Psalms we realize, and actually when you're in Jerusalem, it seems to make a lot more sense, I've found, that God has said, actually I want to come and live here, not in order to be absent from the rest of the world, but to make this the place through which I will bless the whole world. And maybe that's part of the reason why some people have reacted to the Davidic Psalms in general and said, oh, they're very royal and very sort of aristocratic and we today in our democratic world don't like that kind of thing. And we prefer general truths rather than the scandalous idea that God might choose one family in one place and all that. But then we have become aware as well of the shrewdness of King David in choosing Jerusalem as his capital, as a place to unite all the 12 tribes. So we know all that, but actually there is a major biblical theme embedded here which we have to do business with if we're to understand Old Testament or indeed New Testament. And actually it's a cluster of biblical themes and it goes rather like this. In creation God makes a world, a heaven plus earth reality. We know from many cultures that a building which is a place where heaven and earth meet is basically a temple and Genesis 1 describes the building of this cosmic temple, God's own dwelling place. It's a place where he wants to come and live and the idea of coming to live somewhere is about building a house and then going and being at ease in it, taking your rest, not in order simply to sleep and do nothing, but in order to be at home. And the idea of taking your rest is about being at ease in a place. And God calls humans to be his partners, his image reflectors within his world.  No, God renews that promise. But he does so by calling one family, namely Abraham and his people, so that he can work back to the original intention and bring his creation to where he always intended it would be, though by now a much more circuitous route. And so Abraham's family become the people in whose midst God comes to live in the book of Exodus after the rescue from Egypt. God commands Moses to build the tabernacle and in Exodus 40 God comes to live there as a sign of his desire to fill the whole of heaven and earth. He fills this one place and Israel is the tabernacle bearing people. And then when King David builds the city of Jerusalem up to be his royal capital, he then wants to build a house for God to take over from the tabernacle, the tent. But in fact it's Solomon, his son, who builds the great temple in Jerusalem. And when he dedicates it, the cloud of God's presence comes and indwells that house as it did in the tabernacle before. And this is where God has come to take his rest, to be at home. Not in order to say the rest of the world doesn't matter, but as an advance statement of what God wants to do in and for the whole creation. So Israel as a family, the seed of Abraham, then gets focused on the king and Israel as the promised land then gets focused on Jerusalem and Jerusalem gets focused on the temple so that the king and the temple absolutely belong together. And they belong as the sign of God's claim on all people, as the means of God's claim on all lands. And the ultimate rest is in view, the rest of the new creation, the ultimate Sabbath towards which all the Sabbaths of Israel are pointing. And from a Christian point of view, when we read a Psalm like this we should see all of that pointing forwards to Jesus coming to be the heaven and earth person, the son of David, the temple builder, the temple in person, the one who launches the project of new creation, who says the time is fulfilled, the kingdom of God is at hand.


We all arrive in different ways Some of us on the subway a crowded bus our car a private jet me. I arrive on a big wheel No matter how we arrive. We are all on a journey We are all on a journey both literally Sorry, I'll wait for it. Thank you We are all on a journey both literally and figuratively we meet challenges along the way Some view those challenges as roadblocks Others as opportunities. I had a very difficult childhood and at a certain point I decided to live and share a life of joy I'd like to take you with me this evening on a journey toward joy through three true stories We will start on the New York City subway. No, I'm aware. You're probably thinking Kristen That is one of the last places. We are going to find any joy Unless of course improv everywhere steps on board, but if you travel with me we might discover a little bit of joy as well So we're on the subway and it's rush hour. The car is crammed with people But no one interacts with anyone they stare at the ads overhead or New York Times crumbled in their lap a young mother tries to calm a crying child and No one helps her and then Mike starts to speak loudly. Hey, man. I'm sorry to bother you My name is Mike. I lost my job. I'm homeless. My wife just left me. My dog ran away.  I'm always packing and I start to blow bubbles and Of course since it's New York City people act like they don't see anything But I notice someone is smiling and I also see The crying child has stopped crying So I reach into my bag and I pull out another bottle of bubbles And I share them with the young mother gesturing for her to join me and she does and we blow bubbles together And soon other people are smiling and so I pull out another bottle of bubbles And I share them with someone else and they start blowing bubbles I've shared over 500 bottles of bubbles on the New York City Subways. Yes It's a small gesture, but bubbles can make a difference. I also Always carry my free hug sign because you never know when there might be a free hugs emergency It's been said we need at least four hugs a day to maintain our sanity Many of us are not meeting our quota. I started doing free hugs in New York City just after the financial crisis People shared the most intimate details of their lives. We are desperate to connect I started organizing free hugs events all over the world and I carried my sign everywhere. I went The most powerful free hug I ever received was from a boy in Paris He was sitting on the sidewalk rubbing his hand back and forth across the pavement He saw us out of the corner of his eye and he asked his mother what we were doing to my relief She did not say we were crazy. She said they're giving hugs. It's really wonderful They left a few minutes later. I heard the sound of feet on the pavement This little boy leaped into my arms hugging me tight looking me right in the eye and Then I saw his mother Tears were streaming down her face. I stepped forward. I put him down. I said, I'm really sorry. Did I do something wrong? She said I can't believe this. He's severely autistic He barely ever hugs me or his father.  Say yes to opportunities for joy I said yes to the big wheel race There were only a few rules you had to be at least 18 years old to participate and you were supposed to dress like a superhero Careening down the steep slopes of Central Park our capes flying out behind us legs draped over the handlebars Reaching speeds of 15 miles per hour a crowd gathered Someone asked may I borrow your big wheel and because joy is meant to be shared. I said yes, you can I Ask you to search your lives for joyful moments and to share them They may seem small and insignificant, but they make a much bigger impact than what we realize Science shows us that joy releases in dolphins. It boosts our immune system. It makes us feel good Joy is contagious in a good way So share your joy and I'll keep sharing mine and if anyone wants a free hug just look for me in my sign

It is warped logic that for students' protests to have an impact, one must destroy already existing education infrastructure required to prepare young people to be the drivers of socio-economic development in their country, Zikulala said in a statement. The burning of vehicles and buildings yesterday leaves a bitter taste and should be condemned by all the people of KwaZulu-Natal. We wish to state categorically that we fully understand and sympathize with the plight of poor students who find it impossible to meet rising education costs. DUT is the second tertiary education institution in KwaZulu-Natal to suspend lectures on the first official day of the 2019 academic year. We thank both students' leadership and management in various tertiary institutions who have expressed their willingness to engage in a dialogue in order to turn around the situation, the acting Premier said. As the KZN government we also support the Education Minister Naledi Pandar who announced late yesterday that she had directed the Director-General of the Department to ensure the necessary support. In a statement handed to DUT Management on Monday, the Student Representative Council , SRC, said students were experiencing funding frustrations via the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, ENSFAS, as well as housing allocation and transport issues. The KZN government said they expected young people to exercise revolutionary discipline and isolate criminal elements who abused the constitutionally guaranteed right to peaceful protest by destroying public property and endangering the lives of others. During the last fees must fall campaign in 2017 the provincial government had to step in to deal with rogue elements who had hijacked genuine issues of students. We could not fold our arms in the face of brazen criminal acts that created social instability with innocent students and communities bearing the brunt, Zikalala said. The University of KwaZulu-Natal, UKZN, suspended lectures at all of its campuses following violent protests that led to the torching of a vehicle and guard hut at its West Bill campus and the torching of a vehicle at its Howard College campus. Students from the Mangasuthu University of Technology, MUT, blocked roads with burning tires around the Umlaza campus. Although the provincial government has no direct oversight role to play over the institutions of higher education, it was agreed in a meeting held on the February 7, 2017 that the provincial government must be part of efforts aimed at ensuring a disruption-free academic year. This meeting was convened by the KZN Human Resource Development Council and attended by Vice-Chancellors, Rectors, and Students' Leadership. It was chaired by our Premier Willys Mhanu.
