On the field, I feel like I'm a competitor, just intense. A lot of people are talented, but don't work hard. I know in myself and my heart that I'm one of the best safeties in this class, if not the best safety. When my opportunity comes, I'm going to make that known. This is from senior year and I was a team captain for my high school team. I was actually the offensive MVP that year. I played quarterback. I had to do what I had to do. I played bull side so I can do it all my game ceiling interception ball from the hula bull. I got put in front of a lot of scouts and I think this is one of the momentum changes that helped me get to where I'm at today. Super Bowl ring is what my next step is for sure. The son of a former NFL safety, the pedigree of Virginia safety Joey Blunt has prepared him for the biggest moment of his career, the NFL draft. My dad was coaching me as well. So someone who looked up to their dad from a young age, I wanted to be in his world as much as I could be. I wanted him to be in my world as much as he could be as well. So football seemed to be like the best place for both of us to be together. From the first day that Joey was a freshman here, he was a starter while he had physical abilities. It was his mental IQ for the game. They really just set him apart and got him on the field early and then once his body caught up, he was something dangerous. Blunt was a standout at Landmark Christian School in Fairburn, Georgia, where he played both quarterback and safety. After a successful four years, he committed to the University of Virginia. Talk a little bit more in-depth about that recruiting process. So a really benefited me. My recruiting process was me joining the Cam Newton 707 team. So guys, I play with running back right now for Seahawks DJ Dallas. Actually in this upcoming draft, Malik Willis, I'm good friends with him. I actually visited Auburn, came to him and put a word in for me with the school and they actually invited me down for a visit. I had though got my first offer from Virginia that spring of my junior year. I remember when the day he got his Virginia offer and man, it was just like it was Christmas. It was just the right fit for Joey and obviously his dad playing there. Back down on the play, Joey Blunt picks it off. He gets another one, his second of the ballgame and an interception and the Cavaliers get it back. The take away for Virginia and then Joey Blunt just watches the eyes of Kenny Pickett. Joey Blunt dominated at Virginia, finishing his collegiate career with over 300 tackles, five and a half sacks and nine interceptions. You've been having a few visits with some NFL teams. Can you name those teams that you had visits with? I met with the Ravens. I worked out for them. That went really well. Then I got a visit. Steelers had a top 30 visit there. I love what they have going on up there. Funny story about Mike Tallin, I told him this when I saw him, but 2019 we had a game versus Pitt ran a team hotel and I saw we saw Mike Tallin walking out the hotel. I guess it was some Steelers thing they were doing, but my best friend's dad at the time ran up to him, started talking to him and we were all embarrassed. You know, Mike Tallin. All of a sudden we see my friend's dad. Wave was over and we all go over there and we start talking to him telling him we're from UVA or playing Pitt and we took a picture and I told him that I will be in the draft within the next two or three years. And when I went and visited Pittsburgh, I pulled up that same picture and I showed him and I asked him, do you remember me? Do you remember where we first met? And he didn't. And I showed him the picture and he was like, I love that, that you're true to your word. I was like, I promise you I'd be here and I'm here. Following his time at Virginia, Blunt now has his eyes set on training for the NFL draft. Joey and I spent almost three and a half hours on the board talking various concepts and coverages in the National Football League and I walked away feeling really confident that Joey can come in and grasp anybody's system. After not receiving an invite to the NFL Combine, he impresses the scouts at Virginia's Pro Day. 4.38, 40 yard dash. We just got eight. The scouts are saying 438. 38 inch vertical. 10-7 broad jump, 20 reps of bench press. These numbers are competing with the best safeties in the draft this year.  Absolutely. I know that I'm an NFL Caliber player. I know I should be one of the best safeties in this class. When I'm on the field, I'm someone you need to have on the field that if I'm not on the field, then there's a presence missing. It is what it is. Cloud has his cloud. You know, I'm not really tripping on the fame or trying to be the best or my name out there. But when opportunity comes, people are going to realize. With the draft approaching, Joey Blunt is ready to make his mark in the NFL. With my body, I play free. I'm not scared of contact. Joey's having some kind of day here. Wilson trying to buy a little time. That's going to come up short near the 15th to Everson. Why should Joey Blunt be a starting safety in the NFL? Fifty games of experience. 300 tackles. I have quarterback and safety background. I'm everything you look for in a safety. I'm versatile. I'm a ball hawk. I make tackles. I'm everywhere on the field. I'm sideline to sideline. You're going to have someone who can contribute day one. As a starter or any spot you want him to play. I know it's a long journey, but I'm ready for that journey. And having me on your team is going to make you one step closer to the Super Bowl.


In my prior video, I pointed out that everyone alive today has descended from Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, and Confucius. A lot of people thought I meant related, as in a cousin of a cousin of a cousin kind of relation, but I chose my terms carefully, if not my historical figures. Let me say it again. To the best of our knowledge, everyone alive today is not just related, but actually descended from every historical figure who lived before a few thousand years ago. Caesar was a poor choice, not because he left no heirs, but that we don't know exactly who they were. His campaigns in Spain and Germany probably included leaving behind several illegitimate children, some of whom would have left heirs in all likelihood. However, let's choose an easier target for our big trip through our shared genealogy. Confucius was an actual historical figure who lived in China in about 500 BC, and he is your direct ancestor, whomever you may be. It so happens that his genealogy is one of the most extensively documented, at least along the paternal line, and he is the documented direct ancestor of millions, with billions more that can't trace their ancestry, but are nevertheless direct descendants of Master Kong. This population, in fact, most probably includes all living humans, whether they be European or African or South American. Let's review the evidence. Point one, you have millions of ancestors. I went over this briefly in my prior video, but in every generation, you hypothetically have twice as many direct ancestors as in the prior generation. In fact, this breaks down rather quickly as most of your ancestors were related to each other, if we go far enough back, called pedigree collapse. I'll come back to that fact in a minute. I'm going to use a lot of rounding here, because I'm a biologist, not a mathematician. Assume 20 years per generation, and the hypothetical doubling of ancestors in each generation. Everyone has a mommy and daddy. Given 10 generations, or 200 years, you had 1000 ancestors. In 20 generations, or 400 years, about the point where European colonies were established in the New World, you had about a million ancestors. A mere 500 years ago, about the time of European contact with indigenous Americans, you had 33 million ancestors, about 10% of the world population at the time. By the time we get to the period of Confucius, the number of ancestors is a number with 37 zeros behind it. Clearly more than a number of people who have ever lived. All of these numbers are based on the hypothetical doubling. In fact, the further down the line we go, the more we are counting the same person twice in your ancestry. Nevertheless, the evidence is that your ancestors include nearly everyone alive at any point prior to about a thousand years ago. In fact, our best models have 80% of everyone prior to about 500 BC, either being the ancestor of everyone alive, or of no one alive, their line either when extinct or spread to every corner of the globe. Which leads me to point two. There are two metrics, the universal ancestor point and the identical ancestor point. I've come up with a very crude way to illustrate these concepts. We'll start with a simple blue pyramid representing your ancestry. It expands as we go back through time. Let's take an Inuit from Canada, I call him Anook, and give him an ancestry pyramid as well, this time in pink. You'll notice that his ancestry pyramid will eventually overlap yours. In the case of Anook, it may not be until fairly recently, say about 300 years ago, following European expansion into the New World. In a relatively few generations though, even a single couple can end up being the ancestor of virtually everyone in the Americas. An ancestor you most recently share in common with Anook is called, well, your most recent common ancestor or MRCA. Now if we took everyone alive today and overlaid their pyramids, we would converge on a single ancestor that we all have in common. This would be the universal most recent common ancestor. The best estimates of simulations using realistic data put the date for this convergence somewhere between 1400 BC and 50 AD, so somewhere between the height of the Egyptian Empire and the time of Julius Caesar. Another metric we can look at is the identical ancestor's point. If we zoom out a bit from your and Anook's ancestry pyramid, we see that pedigree collapse, the marriage of cousins, is shrinking the slope of our pyramids. Eventually that collapse will require that all of Anook's direct ancestors are all of your direct ancestors. And this point occurs not nearly as far back as you would think. Somewhere between 2000 and 5000 BC, everyone alive at the time was either the direct ancestor of everyone alive today or the ancestor of no one alive today. About 80% of everyone who lived during the time that saw the founding of Athens, the beginnings of Judaism, and the fall of Troy is your direct ancestor, and also Anook's. The other 20% of their contemporaries around the globe had a line that died out completely. An interesting side note, this process works in the other direction as well.  How's that for immortality? This discussion will be continued in Part 2.


What's up everybody? Jason here for JaspiersCaseBrace.com. Last break of the night, guys. 2021, Canadian National Charges Baseball 2 box half case break. Picketing number 32, which is the second half of the case. And here we go, guys. National Charges Baseball 32. Remember, we only sold 7 straight up. And look at that, Oliver. That's why Oliver's here, right? Watching the break, I see. Everybody else bought it straight up, and I really appreciate it to the 7 other customers. 23 teams in this round-of-number vlog. I think this is the biggest R&B we've ever done. As you can see, there's all the teams there with the customer names and the numbers. So I have to say that there's probably most likely going to be a lot of hits with R&B. But I could be wrong. Now, this is break number 32. Joe numbered them there. 32, 32. So let's go. Here we go. I don't think we have any more NT after this, so I took it off the website for now. All right, friends, we have this for Houston. Christian Javier to 99. And that's part of the 2013 R&B. Five, one of Steve Birch. And then a little Justin Turner. That's 45. Another one for Spot 5 and Steve Birch. We have a relic there. Craig Kimbrell. That's a 39 out of 99. Another one there. Spot 9, Steve Birch. Then we got a Bob Gibson, number 299. That is 2 out of 99. It's about 2 going around. We have a redemption. And it's Logan Gilbert. Rookie material signature 2. Which I think Logan Gilbert is a diamond back, right? No, actually, sorry. Mariner. And Seattle Mariners, that's part of the R&B that's going to spot 0, Nicholas. That's numbered to 99 as well. All right, first one we got is Raphael Palmera for the Texas Rangers, part of the random number block. 44. Spot 4, that is going to Steve Birch. And we have a Casey Meis, Detroit, RPA to 25. That is for the Detroit Tigers, also part of the random number block. And that RPA is number 6. Spot 6 going to run. Then we got Bartolo Colom. We have 29 out of 99. That is New York Metz edition going to the 23 team R&B. Spot 9, Steve Birch. And last one here is a dual booklet. Looks like autograph, maybe? Dual signature, yeah. Alex Kierloff from Minnesota, which is Sanford actually. And then Joe Adele, Angels, which is part of the 23 team R&B. So if the Minnesota Twins win this randomize, this is going to go straight to Sanford. 50, R&B Wednesday, it's going to go to 69. Nice. Spot 9, which is Steve Birch. So we'll leave that over there for a little randomizer after. All righty, next one. All right, we got Dylan Carlson for St. Louis, that's part of the 23 team R&B. Spot 6 going to Ryan. Paul Goldschmidt for St. Louis, part of the R&B. That's 90, going to 0. Nicholas. Then Mookie Betz, 65 out of 99. Dodger's 23 team R&B.  It's been all R&B. The booklet wins for Sanford. That'll be the first one right there, but we won't know until the end. We have for Cleveland. Actually, I spoke too soon. Oliver with the Guardians. That is Daniel Johnson. That is 90 out of 99. There we go. There we go. Then we got Debbie Garcia, 74 out of 99. That is Yankees, going to Nicholas. Then we got a nice Jumbo RPA of Tyler Stephenson for Cincinnati. 23 team R&B. That is 99. Another one for Steve Birch and spot 9. We got a Noah Cindergaard. That's 2 out of 10. That's for the Mets. 2, Ryan. The last one is another book. It's Legendary Silhouettes. Cece Sabathia and Andy Pettit, both for the Yankees and Yankees. That's going to Nicholas. Nice. 225. Solid. And there you go, folks. That was the break. That was Pikachu number 32. So again, we have to do one randomizer here between the Angels and the Minnesota Twins. Then that's it, folks. So let's switch scenes really quick and get a dice roll with the list. And it is Angels, Twins. Roll it five and one six times. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six. Goes to the Angels. Five and one six times. That's going to go to the random number block. Which again, that was going to go to spot 9, which is Steve Birch. So I appreciate it, folks. Like I said, don't have any more, but hopefully you get some more soon, jaspyscasebreaks.com.


I'm humbled to be here today and to be given the privilege to speak to you wherever you are. We are speaking to you from Nairobi Central Seventh Adventist Church. I know some of our audience are as far as South Africa. I got a call from one from Canada. We want to welcome you. And those who are here today, our theme for this day is a question. I was given this question to handle it. The question is, is tomorrow scary when we look at tomorrow what comes in our mind? We have been spending the whole week talking about cities. Nairobi is one of the cities. Cities are known of having nice buildings. Some of the best things that are found in the world are in cities. But we saw this week that those nice places can be very deceptive. Cities can be very deceptive. They hide people who are lonely. Inside those cities are lonely. Inside those big offices are people who are lonely. There are people who are sick. There are people who are now in their old age. They are being dressed. They cannot be able to do anything by themselves. There are people who are depressed. There are people who are heartbroken. There is somebody I'm speaking to who is contemplating suicide. I want to speak to you now and say I have good news for you. There is somebody who has lost a job. And the somebody who has just discovered he didn't know that the certificate that he is having was fake. And the boss has just told him that you have to leave. And therefore, sadder will be stopped. And the pension benefits might go. Almost every home you will get an employed youth. They are there. There is somebody listening to us whose business is not doing well. He cannot even be able to make a simple payroll take effect. Cities hide people of various types. There are people who are heavy in debts. I'm standing here today to let you know that that is not how God put it. Cities are God's vineyard. But that's not enough. I want to believe that perhaps the greatest fear is not so much what we are lacking. The greatest fear is the change that is going to come in the fourth industrial revolution. I want you to know, my people, that when the future comes, things will not be the same. I remember that billionaire Billy Gates in the San Diego summit. He was addressing thinkers, people, the brains in IT. He made a statement and I want to quote him. He said, IT or artificial intelligence will soon replace all teachers. That's what Billy Gates said. When such people say something, it means they are going to replace all teachers with artificial intelligence. If that is true, then the ripple effect cannot be imagined. We may have Kenya National Union of Teachers now controlling the robots. The world is coming. Things are changing. The leaders of automobiles may have to think afresh. Vehicles as we know them are going to be electric. People are thinking ahead. Things are changing. Order of life as we know it. Even the church, we may have to come and redefine what worship is. We may have to redefine the work of the Asha because we may have apps that will be welcoming people. We may know whether even preaching will be replaced. Artificial intelligence is coming. If this is true, as they are telling us, if this is true, how sure are we of tomorrow? If, for example, affordable housing takes place, I would like to assure you that our young people will be the first to take that opportunity. We may not be the last old people holding on to our house in the kandusai. Things are changing. They are going to come. Are we prepared? That's the question they are asking. The world is looking into a new face of humanity. The fourth industrial revolution has already taken place. The bus has already left. The traditional jobs as we know them are going to go. Traditional jobs. Now, today, young lawyers have lost their jobs. Because of the Watson app, I can get legal advice from artificial intelligence. But that's not enough. Even nurses will now have software that can do more accurate diagnosis than even a human being. You may not believe it. When we talk of this, it may look like a dream. But things are coming. Things are changing. When we look at tomorrow from that perspective, the question is tomorrow's carry. You can guess what the answer is. But I'm standing here today to let you know one thing. That tomorrow does not belong to you. Tomorrow belongs to God. He's the other and the finisher of our lifetime. He's the other and the finisher of our faith. I want to let you know that those carry how tough things may be. God is still God. There are some things that will never change with time. Sin will still retain its definition. Salvation will still be only through the blood of Christ. The gospel will still remain the good news of what God did for us in Christ outside our contribution. I want to let you know wherever it's listening to me, wherever you are seated, as you listen to me now, I've not brought you a threat. I've brought you hope. I've brought you a confirmation from God Himself that He's greater than anything else. God is faithful. He who created the universe. He who gave His Son. How will He fail to be with us also? Our work, our confidence is not best in the things that we have. Our future is not depends on manmade things. Our future is built on Christ Himself. Sometimes we look around and we wonder, is this why what we were created for? My answer is you were created for the glory of God. God is not only our creator. He's also our savior. He's also the great physician. I'm speaking to somebody who may be sick. Somebody whom the doctors have pronounced that you may not live long. I'm speaking to a parent somewhere that is in his old age and is being dressed in nape by a child somewhere.  You will always get one child that will remember you. The others are only scouting. I want to let you know that one day you will come and find that it is true. I want to thank God on behalf of somebody who is taking care of the mother or the father who left this morning to come for worship. I want to tell you that thank you for that ministry. As young people we are concerned about God's voice in the cities. We are concerned about God's presence being felt in the cities. We are concerned with the plan that God has for us in the cities. When you look at the book of Romans, by the way, Romans is not a book. It's a letter that Paul wrote to the believers in Rome. At that time Rome was a powerful city. When it is the clearest, if you have it, it's the most systematic. It's the clearest gospel of all. In it Paul defines the gospel as the incarnation, the death and the resurrection of Christ. He defines the gospel as the birth, the death, the burial and the resurrection. That's how he defines it. These are the pillars of the gospel of Christ. You cannot undo them and you cannot earn on them. The second coming is the hope of the gospel. It's the ripple effect of the resurrection of Christ. That now that he has resurrected, now that he has ascended, we know he will come back again. So when we look at Romans, that great letter, our key text came from Romans 8. Romans 8 is a continuation of Romans 7. When Paul wrote, there were no chapters or verses. The chapters and verses were inserted in recently to make reference much easier. But because of time, I want us to look at chapter 8. When you look at chapter 8, especially when you come to verse that one, there is a series of questions that Paul is asking. And these questions are meant to ease, to remove our fears, to give us the confidence. Please look at chapter 8 verse 31. From verse 31 up to verse 35, you will find question marks. If you count them and if I'm not wrong, there should be about seven of them. Look at what he says. They all ask the same thing. It's one question but given different ways. Please look at verse 31. He says, what shall we say then to these things? When he talks of these things, he's talking of the things that God has done for humanity. God has demonstrated that he is biased in favor of man. God has demonstrated that his love for man is irreversible. God has demonstrated in John 3.16 that he so loved the world that he gave. He didn't lent, he gave. One writer says in a book entitled The Self-Ages chapter 1, he says God gave his begotten son to become a member of the human family forever. That's what he says. It means when he took humanity, it was irreversible. Even God Himself laid aside the power to reverse it. So he became permanently a member of the human family. Even death on the cross could not separate him. Even resurrection, he really resurrected but still with the human form. Paul is saying, what then shall we say to these things? When he died on the cross, he tested death that no human being has ever tested. The Bible says the wages of sin is death. Please, it is sin singular, not plural. And no human being has ever tested the wages of sin. You may be going through the common death, which are consequences of what we are. But the wages of sin, the only one who tested that was crushed at the cross. And he cried and he said, My father, my father, why hast thou forsaken me? Why are you so far from hearing me? I'm reciting Psalms 22, verse 1 and 2. He tested that pain. We know that he tested that because Paul tells us in Hebrews 2, I think verse 9, he says he tested death for everyone. So Paul says now that he died for us, now that he gave his life, when he died on the cross, he was declaring to the world that I don't love you this much. I don't love you this much. I love you this much. And he stretched the hand and he died.  Look at the price that he paid on Calvary. He gave his life for us. We may be stigmatized by our conscience, by people, by communities, but we are precious in the hands of Christ. We may be a street children somewhere. You may sometimes feel broken, but I won't let you know that God is faithful. Paul is saying, what then shall we say to these things? He speaks about these things in a better way in chapter 5 of Romans. Let me go back a bit to chapter 5. If you look at chapter 5, verse 1 says, therefore now that we have been justified by faith, we have the following blessings. Number one, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. That's the first blessing that come to a believer, a realization that he has already justified us through the blood of his son. Therefore we have peace. The first peace is not peace between you and your brother. When you see horizontal peace is broken, you know there's a problem with the vertical peace, peace between man and God. So he says, number one, we have peace with God. And that peace is not through your performance, it is through our Lord Jesus Christ. I'm reading Romans chapter 5, verse 1 and verse 2. And he says, by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand. And we not only have access, but he says also we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And verse 3 says, not only so, but we also glory in tribulation. So the Bible says that God himself has already prepared and packaged and delivered our peace in Christ Jesus. When you go ahead in verse 6, he says, for when we were yet without strength, in a due time Christ died for the ungodly. I love that verse. What Paul is saying that Christ died for us, not when we were good, but when we were still wicked. The reason why Paul is saying this is because he's saying if God loved us while we were still sinners, don't you think that now we have accepted him, he will love us even more. That's what he's saying here. He goes on to say in verse 8, God commented or demonstrates his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners. Hey, look at verse 8. Christ died for us. And then he says much more than now that we have been justified by his blood, tomorrow is secure. We shall be saved from the wrath through him on the judgment day. And therefore we know that through Christ we know that the judgment that will come will be pronounced in favor of the saints because we know that the one who has been given power to judge is the same one who died for us. I want to speak to somebody somewhere who is going through a very difficult situation. I want to speak to you and tell you you are not what your conscience tells you. You are not what people say you are. I want to speak to somebody who wants to hurt a family that those innocent children, that innocent mother, that innocent wife, they were bought by the blood of Christ for the sake of Christ, preserve them. I want to speak to somebody listening to me who has forgotten the role of a husband and a wife. I want to let you know a good husband is the one who does not inspect his wife's phone. A good wife is the one who does not inspect the husband's phone. If you think I'm not saying the truth I wish you good luck. You have no inbuilt shock absorbers to read some of the things that are there. And I want to let you know that God did not create us to be inspectors. He created us to be our brother's keeper. And I want you to know that God is not inspecting us. God has shown publicly that he is biased in fave of us because of that we know tomorrow is secure. I want to speak to somebody who is listening to me somewhere.  Our forefathers had similar challenges but they endured until the end and we have been born. Let's go back to Romans 8 because of time I will scan through. Paul says, what shall we say then to these things? These things are referring to the mystery of the gospel. What shall we say then to these things? If God be for us and this conditional sentence in English it means if God be but the conditional sentence here it means it's like saying if you are an African so you don't begin inspecting yourself if you are an African you are already an African he is saying if God be for us which means he is already for us who can be against us? That's the question he is asking when we enter tomorrow answering that question we have no fear he goes on to say he that spared notice on son but he delivered him up for us all how shall he not fail with him also freely give us all things he is saying God is faithful we know him having given us his son if I give you my Mercedes Benz do you think if you ask me for a bicycle I will give you? Yes, how do you know because I have given you the greatest so if God gave us his son how will he fail to give us the golden streets in heaven? which is greater? his son or the mansions Paul is saying here how will he fail to give us the remaining the eternal life and everything universe 32 freely give us all not some old things who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? he says it is God that justifies it is God who is supposed to pass the judgment but instead it is him who justifies us I am speaking to somebody who may be feeling guilty somebody who may be feeling broken at heart John wrote in 1 John 3 verse 20 he said if your conscience condemns you God is greater than your conscience and he knows all things so Paul here says in verse 34 who is he that is supposed to condemn us? rather it is Christ that died and it is him again who rose because of us and he is seated at the right hand of God and he is making intercession for us because of these things who shall separate us from the love of Christ? he is not talking about your love for Christ he is not saying who will separate my love for Christ? your love for Christ fluctuates it is today high tomorrow's law he is not talking about that he is talking about God's love for us he says that love for us does not fluctuate who will separate us from God's love that is to us in Christ? who will do it? shall tribulation? shall distress? shall persecution? shall famine? shall nakedness? shall peril? shall sword? shall unemployment? shall fear of death? will that succeed? he says in verse 37 no in all these things we are more than Congress in him who loved us and therefore because of who God is because of what he has done for us we are highly exalted than Adam before he sinned what we get in Christ is much more than what we lost in Adam we know that we have not only been exalted but at the second coming of Christ you know what the Bible says? the dead will resurrect almost every home has a grave that grave is not permanent it will break for the dead will come out Jesus said it in John 5 verse 28 the dead will hear his voice and they will come out but that's not all we have a God who is a great physician we have a God who has never who heals us in Psalms 103 103 if you read verse 3 it says bless the Lord of my soul and then he says he forgives and then he goes on to say he heals all our diseases I'm praying that the Lord will touch your heart the Lord will raise you the Lord will make you a hope for the family the Lord himself will open your eyes to see that what connects us to God is greater than that which disconnects us and I want to pray that this week as we continue may you be able to walk as you look up the Lord is faithful Paul says nothing will separate us from his love his love is constant his love is directed to us if there's anybody among us who's feeling bitter look Christ who gave his life for us if there's anybody who's broken heart listen to the words of Christ that the spirit of the Lord is upon me it has anointed me to heal the broken hearted to set you free that from here you'll be able to rejoice in what God has done and to be able to say goodbye to all the fears is my prayer in Jesus' name


Hello and welcome back. In this lecture, we are going to look at the sorting problem and in particular we are going to look at some motivating examples that hopefully will allow us to appreciate the importance of sorting as a computational problem. Here is a quick recap of some of the topics we have already studied. We have basically studied several constructs to write useful programs. These include assignment statements, arithmetic and logical expressions, basic input and output, sequential and conditional statements, looping constructs or iteration constructs, functions and the use of arrays and matrices. In this lecture, we are going to look at the sorting problem as a computational problem and we are going to look at specifically some motivating examples and see how sorting actually serves a useful purpose in several different contexts. So here is a simple example. Let us say in a table or in a spreadsheet, I have listed down the quiz 1, quiz 2 and quiz 3 marks of several students who are taking CS 101. So each of these entries represents marks of a particular student in a particular quiz and then we have added up all of these marks to get the total mark. Now given this table of marks, one might ask can we rank the students who are identified by their roll numbers here in decreasing order of total marks or we could ask find the n top scoring students in quiz 1 where this n could be user specified or we could ask find the n least scoring students in quiz 3 where this n could again be specified by the user. Now if I look at the first problem rank all students in decreasing order of total marks. So one way I could do this is to inspect this total marks column of all the students and perhaps come up with some annotation saying this is the highest marks. So in decreasing order this would appear first then this is the next highest mark. So in decreasing order this would appear next and then we have two students who got 24. So in decreasing order both of them would be at position 3 and then we have 18 and 17. So I could look at the rows of this table and come up with these annotations on these rows and then by finding out which of the row has the annotation 1, I could find out the highest scoring student which of the rows has annotation 2, I could find out the next highest scoring student and so on. Wouldn't it be convenient if in order to answer this question I had these rows already sorted or ranked by this order. So basically the row which has the highest marks in it is labeled 1 here. If this row was at the top of this table and then the row which has the next highest marks total marks in it here labeled 2 if this was the second row in it and so on then it would be very easy to read off the ranking of students in decreasing order of total marks. So that is exactly what I have done in this slide I have just rearranged the rows. Now note that when I am rearranging a row when I am picking a row from here and putting it in the first position I have to pick the entire row. So the quiz 1 marks, quiz 2 marks, quiz 3 marks, roll number and total marks all of it comes together in the first position then all of it comes together in the second position and so on. So this is how the ranked order of students ranked by total marks might look like. Note that once I have ranked the students by total marks it is not necessarily the case that they have been ranked by quiz 3 marks or it is not necessarily the case that they have been ranked by quiz 1 marks. For example here this appears before this so it is certainly not ranked in decreasing order of quiz 3 mark. Now if you look at these two entries in between both of them had the same total marks 24. So if I am going to rank them I have to decide who appears first and then who appears next. So which entry appears topmost among equals and here I could decide that well among these two entries which have the same total marks I could decide to put the one with the lower roll number first and then the one with the next higher roll number. So this could be one criterion and if I use this criterion I will get this ranked ordering of students with their total marks. If I am trying to find the n topscoring students in quiz 1 this is what I might get once again there are three students who got the same marks in quiz 1. So they are all tied at the second position how should I list them how should I order them. So one could say that well among these students ranked them in decreasing order of total marks and similarly I could say find the n least scoring students in quiz 3 note here that unlike the previous two examples I am interested in the least scoring students. So I should probably order them by putting the least scoring student first then the next higher scoring student and so on. So in this particular case the first row would be the student who has scored the least number of marks in quiz 3 then the student who has scored the next higher marks in quiz 3 and so on. And once again here we have two students who have scored the same in quiz 3 and we could order them by total marks for example. So if you think about this example that we just looked at here are some observations we had the same data which is basically marks of different students in quiz 1, quiz 2, quiz 3 and the total of these three quizzes marks. But the different questions that we asked required us to order them by different criteria. So in general we might be given a collection of data items in the previous example each row of the table of marks is a data item and we might be told how to order these data items. So here I have described it abstractly by saying that we are given an ordering operator such that for every pair of data items di and dj either di is ordered with respect to dj in this way or dj is ordered with respect to di in this way. So this is also called a total ordering and what we are saying is that given a collection of data items and given an ordering operator which actually gives for every pair of data items which is ordered before what we are now required to rank or sort these data items according to this order. Now as an example of this ordering operator in the previous quiz marks example one of the ordering operators we saw was increasing order with respect to quiz 3 marks. Remember we wanted the lowest quiz 3 marks first and then the next higher quiz 3 marks. So this order was increasing order for quiz 3 marks and if two quiz 3 marks were equal if two students had the same quiz 3 marks then we wanted to order them in increasing order on total marks. So that defines a particular order and for every pair of data items we can order the two students in this manner. Similarly another ordering that we have looked at in the previous example was when we said we wanted decreasing order on total marks. So here the ordering was greater than equal to on total marks and if two total marks happened to be the same then we wanted increasing order on roll number. So what you see is that this ordering operator or the comparison operator could be some complex operator like this. However all that we require is that for every pair of data items either DI for every pair of data items DI and DJ either DI should be ordered with respect to DJ in this manner or DJ should be ordered with respect to DI in this manner. So it should be the case that for every pair of data items I can figure out which appears earlier in the order and which appears later in the order and given the data items and given this ordering operator our problem is to order the data items such that once we have ordered them they monotonically increase with respect to this ordering operator. So note that I have said increase with respect to this ordering operator but this ordering operator is not necessarily the less than or equal to operator that we usually know of we have just seen that this could be a much more complex operator. For example if we wanted to order the data items such that the monotonically decrease I could define this ordering operator to be the greater than equal to and this is what is called the sorting problem in computer science. Now having seen what the sorting problem is primarily about let us look at another example that several of us might be familiar with. Suppose I want to purchase an airline ticket online let us say I want to go from Mumbai to New Delhi on December 25th 2014 and I want to plan early and purchase an airline ticket online right now. Now as several of you know there are several online airline ticketing portals you could go to any one of them and then it will list the various options the various airlines tickets that are available for December 25th 2014 from Mumbai to New Delhi and all of these options will be sorted by various criteria for example they could be sorted by time of departure they could be sorted by price they could be sorted by number of stops they could be sorted by duration of travel and usually the user has the option of deciding what the sorting criterion should be and the user also has the option of saying whether it should be sorted in increasing or decreasing order. For example I might be interested in finding out the earliest flight on December 25th 2014 from Mumbai to New Delhi or I might be interested in the least expensive flight for the same source and destination on the same date. So basically the user has the option to decide what the sorting criterion is and the user is usually interested in the top few options in the top few ranked results for a given criterion for a given ordering since these are likely to be the most interesting. I might be interested in the cheapest ticket or the earliest leaving flight and of course the sorting criterion could vary from one user to the other what is more useful for one maybe less useful for another. So the same data can be sorted by different criterion to come up with different rankings different orderings. Here is yet another example considered a telephone directory a telephone directory usually consists of a name and telephone number pair for different individuals. Now suppose I listed out this telephone directory in a completely arbitrary order. So here are some names here are their numbers and I have listed them out in some completely arbitrary order and then let us say ask you to find the telephone numbers of Shiva Iyer or Anjali Verma from this telephone directory. How would you go ahead and do that because these numbers are listed in completely arbitrary order what you would really have to do is you will have to do a brute force sequential search you will have to look at one name and then the next name and then the next name until you find Shiva Iyer or Anjali Verma. Now this is very inefficient computationally and one could ask what would happen if the names were sorted alphabetically as in a dictionary by first name and then by last name. So Alex would appear in a dictionary before Anjali because L appears before N and both of them start with a. Similarly Anjali Singh would appear before Anjali Verma because the first names are the same but the first letter of the last name here appears before the first letter of the last name here and then of course Shiva Iyer and Subodh Das might appear and of course there could be several other names in between. Now if I did sort the names alphabetically as in a dictionary then if I asked you to find out the phone number of Anjali Singh or Shiva Iyer or Anjali Verma whatever it is it is much easier to find a given name we can first go alphabetically on the first names and then among different entries with the same first name we could go alphabetically on the second name or the last name. So what you see is that if I could sort the data on some appropriate criterion here it is alphabetically first on first name and then by last name then actually searching becomes easier and in fact this is a very important point that we will revisit again later. So in summary in this lecture we looked at sorting as a natural computational task we looked at a few real life contexts in which sorting is applied and we also had a brief glimpse of how sorting can help searching and in fact sorting and searching among the two most fundamental problems in computing and we will have occasion to study these in more detail in the next few lectures. Thank you.


Without question to me the issue is education, two out of three eighth graders in this country cannot read or do math at grade level. We are not preparing our kids for what the future holds. Globalization, advances in technology are changing our world so quickly and we are not preparing our children for the world to come. I think the next president should spend time in the classroom as a teacher but in two different kinds of classrooms. I think that the president should visit and spend day or more teaching in a high poverty school that's failing and truly understand or try to understand what that environment looks like and feels like. And then go to a suburban school where they have a much different experience but also different challenges. There's not a one size fits all but we have to be much more thoughtful about how we're addressing these problems.


Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily, this video was sponsored by One Football, the app that keeps you up to date with all the latest transfer room stats and scores all in a one place at download, the app clicked the link. Phil Jagielke has announced on his Instagram that he is leaving Everton Football Club after 12 years service. Jacks have played 385 games for Everton over a 12 year period, bore for £4 million and £1 back in 2007 by David Moyes and has been club captain for the last six years. He's been an absolutely fantastic defender for Everton Football Club, he's been a great captain on and off the pitch. Not always the fish pumper and getting in people's faces kind of captain, but always led by defensive abilities which have been absolutely brilliant. And it is, it's a sad day that he's leaving us, most of us knew, all of us probably knew when Marco Silva brought him on in the 1890 minutes against Burnley that that would probably be his swansong. The last game he started for Everton Football Club he got the winner of course against Arsenal. Stoke City and Sheffield United rumoured to be very, very interested in Jacks Jagielke. I would suggest a return to Sheffield United, they were back in the Premier League, would shoot him best there. Chairman Bill Kenwright has called him a fantastic servant, one of the greatest servants of recent times. He is of course given the length of time he was at the club and there's been players tweeting him such as Phil Neville, Davey Clashen, Wayne Rooney, Ramirez, Funas Morrie, Stephen Pina, all giving him a clap and a thumbs up and good luck in your next venture. Just showing how many players he got on well with at Goodison Park. Loads of messages from Evertonians, the fans today, they're all praising him and thanking him for his service. Great moments of course, the winning penalty against Manchester United in the semi-final at Wembley in 2009. Fantastic injury time equaliser against Liverpool at the Cop End with an absolute wailty. Just for a brilliant defender and they're still maintaining and I've said it before if you wouldn't have got that knee injury after the semi-final in 09. Who knows? I think with him in the side, we may have been able to beat Chelsea at Wembley. But he's been a marvellous captain for us and a marvellous defender and we wish him all the very best in the next thing that he does. Wittle probably would be a chef United. We may see him back at Goodison next season in the Premier League. Andre Gomez, the saga continues to rumble on. Loads of stuff coming out of West Ham. They're still interested in and they've upped the bid but then other stories coming out, the players basically told friends and the agents and stuff that he wants, the Everton move. This is going to probably continue until Marcel Brands decides the price is what he wants. I think obviously Everton are in close contact with Gomez in terms of what our position is with him and Brands will just ride it out until he gets the deal that he wants. It happened last summer with Jerry Mina. There was a lot of other noise going around with the likes of United being interested in him and Leon and Brands hung fire and got Mina and got the deal he wanted over the line and I think this will be very much the case. One thing from this one is that Barca would like this deal concluded quickly so they can move with some of this. They've got seven players, they want shipping out this summer. Gomez one, another rumoured Everton target, Malcolm is another. They want the money to come in to continue their rebuilding. Maybe Marcel will do a double deal with Gomez and Malcolm, who knows. Apparently Newcastle United are interested in signing Nicola Vlasic. Vlasic has been on loan at CSKA Moscow is under stud to not be in Marco Silva's plans according to sources in the media. Who knows? A couple of months ago they said that Vlasic would be considered but now believe that Vlasic may be sold and Newcastle apparently monitoring the Everton midfielder who scored eight goals on loan this season. So obviously got a lot of talent. Vlasic Croatian international. Interesting to see where that one goes. Young defender Matty Fold has signed a new one year deal with Everton. He was part of David Underwood under 23 double winner team. This season his contract expired what was due to expire on June 30th. He has now agreed a new 12 month deal with the club. So you can play left back or centre back of course. I'm a sign from Oldham. And Bassa Sambu has rejected a new two year offer from Everton to remain at Gugleson Park here. Also part of David Underwood under 23 double winner side scored nine goals. Last season it looks like he wants to move on. I'm sure he'll have offers to go into the championship and he may feel that there's no point him hanging around that Everton if he doesn't see a path into the first team. And it might be better for him to move on and get 13 football somewhere else. So he has rejected a new two year deal at Gugleson Park. And finally we're still awaiting any confirmation from Layton Baines on what he will do. He's thought to be mulling over a new 12 month offer with Everton. I will have to wait to see what happens. But it rumbles on the rumors that he may move to MLS and play for LA Galaxy. And finally Ashley Williams who is out of contract on the 30th of June is attracting interest from DC United. He won't be returning to Gugleson Park. Looks like he may be moving to MLS as well. That is it for the news daily. If you haven't subscribed please do so. Give this video a thumbs up.

What's up guys welcome to the video today what we're gonna focus on is cutting a pixie cup But I wanted to do this a little bit different I wanted to do three different types of pixie cuts so over the next week I'm gonna create a few different videos showcasing different types of pixies in different ways to cut them today We're gonna cut one vertically then the next video I'll probably cut one horizontally and then I'll mix and match techniques to create the third one And then I'm gonna show you guys some coloring techniques on those So a lot of fun videos coming up. I hope you're excited about that. Let me know in the comments But also moving into 2019. I want to go crazy with content So I want to create all different types of videos podcasts Instagram posts if you're not following me on Instagram at free salon education go follow There's so much stuff that I want to do but I want to make sure that it's stuff that you guys are gonna enjoy So let me know in the comments below what you'd like to see in 2019, but right now let's get started with this video Here we go. What's up guys welcome to today's video today We're gonna focus on a vertical pixie haircut the reason we're doing it vertical It's cuz I'm gonna do a series of pixie haircuts over the next week and just showcase some different ways of cutting a pixie for you guys So we start off the sectioning is pretty simple. I go right along the parietal ridge Which is the round of the head there I go back across mid crown and then background parietal ridge creating almost like a horseshoe section on the top of the head Then I take out a nice triangle section Working with diagonal back lines that connect together to section out that crown area because I want to build up a little extra weight in there Whenever you're sectioning a haircut you're really just telling the story of what that haircut is gonna be So I'm mapping out every move that I'm gonna make I'm gonna start off in the front Temple area so I section that away and I don't work on the back I don't even think about the back until I finish the front so we start off taking vertical partings Maybe with a slight diagonal back, but not much. I'm gonna scoop my first section and I'm gonna cut that nice and close to the head I'm really focusing on cutting at 90 degrees So if you guys watched any of the past videos if you watch the 90 degree haircut This is a very similar technique to that making sure that you don't lower your elevation Let the head shape kind of work in your favor, right? So the head shape at the tip of my finger is starting to peel away and because that's peeling away It's naturally gonna give me a little bit of a weight line So don't overcompensate for that.  So I'm working my way back traveling guide. This is a round haircut So everything is following the head shape. So I take my vertical section. I'm pushing the hair Towards my guideline. We've talked about that many times So I comb my section nice and small then I bring it over to that previous section only and I cut it there So I'm not over directing too much then I go through Basically horizontally right so I go in and I cross check using scissor over comb Just to finalize and fine-tune The shape that I've started So now we're gonna work our way into the back still staying nice and vertical Here is where you're gonna see me. I don't want to say make a mistake, but that kind of make a mistake, right? So this is the great thing about watching yourself back I didn't notice it when I was doing the cut But watch because of the way that I'm holding my scissor watch how I twist my fingers to get comfortable And when I do that look at the very bottom corner of this haircut And you can see it getting a little bit longer because of that slight twist So now see how I shift the scissor and my fingers and I get more comfortable and more consistent So now because I'm making that shift and I'm holding the scissor differently. I don't move my fingers So now I get the result that I'm looking for I clean off that result or that longer length that I created Using the scissor over comb technique when I cross check. That's why it's important to cross check But it's also important to understand that if I would have held the scissors a little bit differently I wouldn't have had those longer pieces when I went to cross check. So Mistakes happen. It's why I recommend filming yourself doing haircuts not to put them out on social media But to just really assess yourself and your technique when you can sit back and look at it from afar So you'll notice I'm still doing that scissor technique because from the occipital bone down It really twists your hand into a weird position. So that just makes me more comfortable So I'm basically putting my thumb in the opposite direction of the scissor So and that helps me stay comfortable So I'm just gonna continue through this section the same way Over-directing to the previous section and working my way to the temple area So now I'm just gonna finish off doing a little bit of cross-checking horizontally So now I go in and this technique is going to be just cleaning up around the ears This is all customized to the haircut that you're trying to create so Depending on what you want if you want to cut the ears out if you wanted a little bit longer on the ears talk to your guests That's part of your consultation figure out what they're looking for So now I move into that back part and I'm going to really start to build up that weight I want a little bit of extra weight in the crown area, but also know that the crown is starting to peel away So as that head shape starts to move away from me You can see that basically at the tip of my finger cutting at a 45 degree angle, which is a nice Graduated line right so we're starting to build up weight Starting to get a more flattering shape at the crown area, and I just pivot and I work Same way I did at the bottom part of the head the only difference is I'm using the head shape to build up my graduation So still working vertically working around the head shape bringing the section back to my previous So now we're going to move into the top part of the haircut This is kind of like the the part that makes the haircut sing It's really what makes it unique the the sides in the back are obviously all pretty much cut at one length You're just trying to get a really nice clean look to it But now you go in the top you really to add the personality So what I'm going to do is I'm going to start by cutting my guide to connect the back But then changing my finger angle so I push length into the front So I'm building up that length so I have a lot of hair to play with at the very end We're going to do a little bit of texturizing techniques So you can see my finger angle you can see that length building up So I cut my guide straight down the head shape first the reason I do this I really want to figure out that length that I'm looking for so I cut it the one time and I noticed You know what I wanted a little bit shorter so I go in and I cut a little bit shorter now I've got my guide all the way through the middle So I've got my guide on the sides that I cut earlier and I've got my guide in the middle Which I go through and I just connect those two Points together so connecting the side and the very top middle This is a really cool technique you could even do it on men's cutting if you're looking to Just create your longest point in the very center To connect those two pieces together It's a really cool technique for that and Because I changed my finger angle and I built that length in towards the front now when I'm connecting those two points I'm really following that pattern so I get that look that the exact look that I was looking for in this cut Slight over direction back at the very front just because I wanted to push a little extra length It's always to take easy to take a little bit of length off the front instead of Trying to put hair back on So same thing here the biggest difference on this side is that I'm standing in front of the head instead of behind The reason I did that is I want to cut the hair the exact same So I don't want to be Cutting short to long on one side and then long to short on the other that just means that I might be pushing weight A little bit different on each side so finishing up Everything straight up connecting those two points and then that last section is gonna get a slight over direction back Just to push a little bit of extra length So right here a little bit of over direction back not too much Connect those two points and now you've got your long front So my first product choice for this hairstyle is the Joico firm-hold design foam love putting this in the hair It makes the hair feel nice and thick so if you have fine hair It's great to put a base product on first then blow dry the hair then put your final product on in the end So I go through a blow dry nice flat wrap technique pushing up some volume in this style And then right here you can see I kind of blow dry just to pump up the volume in the very front of the hairstyle And now I'm gonna go through do some dry cutting techniques This is slide cutting notice how I kind of close the blade on this technique So I'm half closing as I slide it down and just working my way through the top of the head cutting channels in Creating texture then I go through a little bit of point cutting Just that break up the hair add a little bit of texture to it And that'll really finalize the look so it's really putting the dressing on the top last product is the Joico body shake Texturizing finisher. This is a really first off delicious smelling product But as soon as you spray then see that texture that happens another great product for creating that thick feeling in fine hair Also great for thick hair as well as long as you cut some texture into it So see this like technique coming to life. I love this product in there You can see the texture you can see you know all these techniques that we did coming together so much for watching I'll see you guys on the next


and oh great Elizabeth thank you for coming on come on in Elizabeth Elizabeth Chulowski GM of the online services division of Citrix I appreciate you coming by and we thought you forgot about us but glad you could make it welcome to the Cube so we're here at SiliconANGLE.com continuing coverage exclusive of Citrix Synergy in San Francisco California we're live and have total of 15 hours of programming Dave so this is the Cube our flagship telecast where we go out to events get the knowledge extracted out of their brains share it with you have a conversation thought leaders executives bloggers whoever has knowledge to share we want to sit down and talk to so Elizabeth thanks for coming in and and sharing with us sharing his power as we learned from CEO box.net so the first question is is that we had an analyst on David Cahill as part of our team we're talking about Citrix and he covers all the conference calls and earnings calls and he said you know so what do you think about you know go to go to manage and the SaaS business SMBs like oh it's a legitimate business but everyone talks about the Zen desktop doesn't server but it never really gets talked about on the analyst calls but it's a legitimate business he says in his Boston accent so you run that business so do you feel like you're left out tell us you know I'll see you're running give us an update on the business because it's not a small business I mean it's no no it's a very significant business and maybe we were a little like that the child that you had that was just always perfect in no trouble so you just let them do their thing but when we were acquired by our start of the company was as expert city in Santa Barbara so that was ten years ago and when Citrix systems acquired us about five and a half years ago we were a very small part of the business so you know low percentage and so when you were talking to the analysts particularly the financial analysts they actually weren't very interested when we also were a pure software as a service play so we do no on-premise that's our history and that's our core core value prop and five years ago that was kind of a strange concept in the world also but you know fast project yeah exactly fast forward and you know the last couple of years you see it really adopting software as a service and now everybody's talking about cloud right and so so we're in the picture now so I think you'll see us talked about a lot more going forward because we're a bigger percentage of the Citrix story both in terms of revenue and in terms of just let's let's make you move out of Santa Barbara didn't know we in fact we we've grown we now have a huge campus in the northern part of Santa Barbara 600 people there and 600 others worldwide nice lifestyle business I guess they say big company no yeah California's like that I live in Palo Alto I can't complain yeah but Santa Barbara's La Jolla Santa Barbara Santa Palo Alto I'll take top three winding up to come to work good locations we'll take them okay now getting back to Citrix Citrix has really been cranking so talk about the percentage of the business that you run and size-wise and just give us the quick stats on the rundowns could want to get that on the record the analyst out there watching this is big big part of their thing yeah yeah so so Citrix online that that as a percentage of Citrix systems you can go and take a look at that in the earnings calls I'm not going to court off the top of my head let me talk about the Citrix online part of the business so we've got picture three yeah three lines of business so we've got a collaboration line so that's go to meeting go to webinar go to training we've got the IT services line which is what I run and that's go to assist and go to manage and then we've got our access in cloud which is kind of our our future type products including including some of the go to my PC which was a well-known consumer brand but the part of my business we're actually combined with access about 60 percent of the online business so very significant of the Citrix online business so that would be referred to a sass or we're also so anything that I talk about that has a go-to name in front of it is software service on the earnings calls the last quarter sass was quoted about a hundred million dollars and that's that's in the quarter on the quarter right yeah a hundred million dollar revenue up 17% that was sequentially your year it's probably year-to-year yeah but so that's that's your business that's our business that's the Citrix online software as a service business that's focused on the small and medium size on a run rate basis we're talking about 400 million growing 17% that's that's as I said as I said meaningful business yeah legit as David Cahill saying I mean it's legit it's a little bit out of a 1.6 billion dollar revenue base right yeah and with the kind of growth rates that we're putting down you can imagine your year we're gonna be more so the world spins in Citrix direction you guys just we've been talking early about how you guys got the triple threat going on great poll position in this new emerging cloud market personal private public with nice public presence with Zen collaboration side just scales beautifully with desktop virtualization kind of sandwiching in the middle this private cloud gray area is gray area you know a lot of people have proof points but you know Zynga is one it's a hybrid but it's emerging right the collaboration stuff scales but your business in particular is perfectly because you have a tangible thing you could roll out today across the board from enterprises down to anyone right any size right you're talking about that the software is a service absolutely yeah yeah as I started to say that the adoption of SAS by IT is just grown dramatically over the last couple of years and there's a lot of skepticism two or three years ago but it's one of the reasons why we decided to launch go to manage it's a product that's really for the IT professional and I think if we had tried to do that even three years ago we would not have seen the great kind of traction and the accolades that it's getting from the profession today so what's the biggest driver right now that you're seeing this power in your business you mentioned as a big opportunity we agree with that but I mean in terms of from your perspective you look at the mega trends what what a couple mega trends are really really powering in your business yeah one is the consumerization of IT you guys probably heard that from every speaker that we've been talking about for years yeah but if you finally is here thank God if you look at it with particularly the online business for Citrix that has affected the small and medium-sized business more I think than any other part of the market because you've got now small companies that have they used to have like a PC that the secretary would run to keep appointments and now they actually have you know data closet with servers and virtual servers and they need to take care of those they need to manage them so you've got doctors and lawyers are now savvy with IT terms and then you've got them taking devices into their own hands and that's driving our business hugely and the cost that they were employing to keep that up and running was significant I mean now they just turn key that to you yep and that's kind of where you guys cut step in right yeah yeah to our customers that use the software take us through the biggest use case where you see in the most adoption right now for the sasside so I'll talk a little bit about collaboration right so so we have seen just huge growth in that business and looking at our product lines that's the one that's leading in terms of growth rates and it's just the idea that right now if you're going to meet with somebody you don't need to be in person and the software is so ubiquitous and so easy to use that everybody needs it we use it every Friday you really now with HD faces yeah well right that's not necessarily a good thing with our company John and Dave of course it's okay yeah so the collaboration business is growing much faster as you said it was 30% growth last quarter John so really a bright spot yeah yeah it very much is and it's a global trend not just a North American trend but I think that's the other the other thing that's been driving our growth rates and you saw us doing acquisition in Germany at the beginning of the year it's it's it's worldwide so what's the vision for the sass business kind of can you bumper sticker that for us the vision for the sass business is that everybody both consumers all the way through SMBs are going to be using these kind of products all the time both collaboration they'll be running their business on the IT services products and then they'll be using them at home to connect to the world right on any device on any device anywhere that fits beautifully into the overall Citrix vision right yeah exactly you've got you know you've got all of our great Zen type products running the enterprise and then you go down to our sass based business and it's the same story the same vision but for a different target market you guys have been actually built from the ground up sass 100% not a lot of on-premise as you mentioned talk about the the role of orchestration because we were been talking all day about orchestration we had some of the folks on from Citrix about that talk about how complex it is with the HDX is in particular was a good interview real Pat that guy was passionate about his product that I was like smiling so much after after I miss that one you know Derek orchestration big buzzword around you know tying things together but behind the curtain on the sass side you have that operation talk about some of the orchestration things that are that people don't might not know about that you guys are implementing with the new Citrix now that you're bolted on to Citrix there's some stuff going on behind it how does that all work yeah I mean that's kind of an interesting question because our you know our persona to the market is that you don't have to worry about that right don't don't ask me that question you don't want to see the man behind the curtain but his name is Zen and but if if you kind of peek behind the curtain on our side it's it's how we're growing that that quickly because people are attracted to these services and we're just up and running all the time and they don't have to do anything except you know generally go to a website and sign up for the product and they've got it right but in the background there's a huge global set of data centers and completely redundant services taking you know just millions and millions and millions of sessions hour by hour over the day and 24 by 7 so that's all powered in the background by by Zen and Citrix and so Dave and I have been talking about this for since since EMC we're when we kind of had the aha moment that the services business being both delivering services as you know as a service cell for service pass etc to services like support are changing really radically and we've had you know EVPs of customer organizations talking about this we've talked to you know boutique consultancies we talked to see a city old school right outsourcers means completely radically being deconstructed yeah so I want to get your opinion on that and we're launching a services angle focus over the next six to 12 months because there's a lot of innovation going on and not only delivering the services but using cloud for services like customer support like my market intelligence that we use for example to using mobile devices so yeah can you share any knowledge there yeah I mean that's a great question because there's just a complete sea change that's going on in the service world today so if you look at contact centers five years ago even you know totally addicted to premise based software it would take them you know the change out of systems in the service world would be you know 10 15 years and that's all changing from a couple of different trends ones that they're adopting sass right so that's that fits our story wonderfully but we led the market in remote support we created that market we have 40% market share in it and what's happening with that is it's becoming now just a ubiquitous part of that change in the service trend and that's driven by by mobility so everybody has three or four different devices and you know every individual has them somebody's got to support them so every company now needs a contact center that has remote support and can go out and help their their end users so it's being driven by that and it's being driven by the fact that you've got companies like Salesforce and the contact centers need to take remote support and just plug it in seamlessly so that the person supporting it doesn't have to do the overhead of cutting and pasting records and you know taking taking any time out of their day to manage actually the contacts that all happens automatically in the background we often say that the world is going from a connected world to a managed world right so we used to support connected devices now we manage this is a disruptive change I mean literally the wealth creation that has happened from quote services the value chains and all those processes that you know the management consultants would create are gone so money just doesn't disappear shifts so we see the shifting and what opportunities do you see for people getting into the services from a skill set just opportunities because this there's some innovation going on and radical change at the same time right you know it's it's gone from this this total centralized world of services I mean you mentioned the huge outsourcers to niche very very defined use cases that open up the world for lots of smaller companies so you know the SMB trend is affecting the contacts in our world also so you've got players that are able to do a particular service for a particular device and do that very well and because it's all connected in the background with saw with SAS based software you can use their services orchestration to work as a generic comes all together nice innovation and service money's not just shifted it's grown it's grown I would agree with that yeah I mean I mean this wealth creation on the new model there's the old the incumbents are dying we had we were just that last week at SAP Sapphire and the big conversation was agility business agility and and the the wealth creation going on there is disrupted those years of suits and you know millions of dollars in one year deployments ten year outsourcing deals and yeah it's just like so that's upside down right so all this is interesting to us I mean maybe not everyone else but people are making money and this is like not the sexier the business but this money being made real dollars yeah I I I often compare our remote support business to the guys that showed shovels during the goldmine days right you know yeah the cliche and it wasn't the gold miners that actually made the money it was the people that made the shovels true cliche yeah yeah well we make the shovels and we make really really good shovels well we really appreciate your time my final question the day you can ask one more question is five years out from now where do you see the Citrix online business in real in the world around it at the what's gonna look like yeah five to ten years out how's it gonna morph and change both Citrix online and then the rest of the world around it right yeah so so you heard Mark's keynote yesterday so we've we've got the the individual consumer cloud we've got the private cloud we've got got the public cloud well we're the public cloud so we're gonna be offering services in the public cloud for everyone right yeah and the other thing you talked about is is I loved his manifesto right he said you know the five things and and of course you know one of them was self-service right and it fits really perfectly into what you guys are doing so so congratulations on on running a great business and not being done we're just getting started on the next earnings call we're gonna actually ask the question that's for you and you know how's that SAS business doing don't tell Mark and Dave let's plan now the question so what question should we ask we'll plant the questions everyone will know it'll be us excellent management or Elizabeth thanks so much thank you very much

Hi, welcome to Microsoft Office Outlook. My name is Sandra Butekis and I'm here to take you through part one of how to use Outlook as a fantastic tool on your desktop. Now I've had the pleasure of not only working through email systems, but to actually say that I've been using Outlook before it was even called Outlook. I remember using little mail programs out of Microsoft, Microsoft Mail being one of them, we had the Microsoft Post Office in the back end. So as a both an end user and an administrator, I've had a chance to see this program develop over the last 20 years. So I can say that of course not only do I teach this, but it's probably my tool of choice where I spend most of my day, day in and day out to control everything from email to schedules to where to find my phone numbers. In this lesson, we'll have a chance to get started with Outlook 2013. What this means is in order to get started, we should become a little comfortable with the environment. So we'll do a whirlwind tour to get you to navigate the Outlook interface and understand what options are available to you. We'll then do some very basic email functions to get you started and show you where to find the help menus. In this topic, we're going to navigate the Outlook interface. What this means is we'll learn what an email address is all about. We'll look at the components of the Outlook interface. We'll look at the ribbon, the backstage view. The backstage view if you happen to be on an email. We'll also get a chance to look at what's called a workspace. A workspace is when you choose mail or contacts or calendar in example. And when you click on it, the whole workspace will change to accommodate that piece. So we'll focus on the mail workspace here. Reading messages, looking for read and unread messages. Calendar workspaces, then the people workspace. And last but not least, a couple of the Outlook tools that are available to you. Because we're learning about an email based program, one of the most important things of course is to understand the components of an email address. So here in an email address, we have what's called a local part in a domain part. The local part is what makes that user unique within their organization. And then of course the domain part is the organization that they're part of. Now in the real world, you will not see dot example. We'll use that here and there throughout the class. Just so that we're not using real company names and naming a company that we may not even know about. Now what's important to understand about an email address is your name is separated from the domain part with an at symbol. The other piece is that there are no spaces whatsoever in any email address. So let's talk a little bit about the domain part. With the domain part, this could be the name of your domain. So let's say here in training, we use Sandra Classroom. And actually I just want to rewrite that because the way I've written it, it looks like there's a space and I don't want you to get that confused with the fact that there are no spaces. So here's at sandroclassroom.com, no spaces. Notice I've used two capital letters. It is not case sensitive but I know that I personally tend to type with cases just because it makes it easier to read. At sandroclassroom.com, as the email administrator, I can create as many accounts as I want. There could be Sandra, there could be Scott, there could be Bill, there could be Bob, there could be Mike, Billy, Bertha, it doesn't matter. I could call them user one, two, three, and four. It's naming these users any way that makes sense for your organization. There are some other domains out there like hotmail.com or gmail.com. Those domains are public for anyone to get an email address. So what I will say is that Sandra Classroom as the email administrator, maybe we have 25 email addresses, so the sky is the limit. But when you start using the hotmail, the gmail, the Verizon, the Comcast, the Xfinity, all of those are public and there are literally millions of email addresses. So you might look that, your name is Dietrich Brown. And Dietrich Dot Brown is probably taken, so you might need to get a little more creative when you're creating your email address. Here we're looking at the components of the Outlook interface. So Outlook, at first glance, can be almost overwhelming. There's so much stuff on the screen. But once you learn what it all means, it's actually pretty easy to navigate. So we have our quick access toolbar. We can put shortcuts up there to use anytime we want. We have a title bar that tells us who we're logged on as. Very important if you jump between email accounts. We have the ribbon. Those are all the tools that you'll be using. And they do change in context every time you change context, from mail to calendar to contacts.  We have something called the instant search box. So if you're looking for something, you can go ahead in there and type it. In fact, I just hung up the phone and I said to someone, go to my email, click in the search box and look for it. I already told them that and forwarded them the email. So we use this all the time. You can sort, and notice here we talk about the sort bar. Right now it's all, or just show me the unread messages. But I can also sort by date, by name, by subject, by whatever is in that menu. You have your folder pane. In your folder pane, you're going to see in this case, all of your email folders, because we're in the mail workspace. If you were in calendar, you might see something different, because you don't put your appointments in folders. Same thing with people, it's organized a little bit differently, but that really is the key. So it's a folder pane, but it's really an organizational pane. So this might list groups of people, or it might list all the calendars that you have access to. It will change for your navigation purpose. And as we talk about changing into the mail workspace, or the calendar workspace, or the people in contacts workspace, I just want you to notice that we're doing this right down here, on the navigation bar. We have the navigation bar that allows you to change from one workspace to the other, from mail to calendar to people, which is really your contacts, and your tasks. We have a status bar, which will tell you some very good information, and it'll also allow you to change the zoom on your screen. We also have the to-do bar. What I like best about the to-do bar is it's customizable. You can choose not to use it at all, or you can choose that you want your contacts, but not your task list. You can decide you want your mini calendar preview, but nothing else. So really, what goes into that to-do bar is up to you, and you have a chance to modify that. If you look at the ribbon, the ribbon is actually broken down by tabs. You have the home tab, which will show you all of your common shortcuts. You'll also have tabs like send and receive, folder or view, which again, change all of the choices of buttons in front of you. And they're organized really by category, or what I like to call by actions. So within each tab, we have command groups, like this is the group called move, or this is the group called delete. So within each group, you'll have a subset of tools to help you shortcut. Now we also have a dialog box launcher, and I'm erasing the ink on a slide because in one line, I wrote through it and you'll never see it. It's that little notch. If you see that notch, it means when you click on it, you're going to get a dialog box with all of the choices that are possible, but not necessarily displayed in this view. We also have the backstage view. The backstage view takes your email, your contacts, your calendar, all of that information completely out of view, because you're going to look at outlook as a whole. It's more about setting up your email account, or setting up an automatic reply because you're out of the office. We call it backstage because it really is like going behind the stage, behind the curtain, to see how things are really set up. This is where you're going to go again to set up your account. Notice we have cleanup tools. We can go ahead and export out our email to a file or import email from a different source. So really it allows us to kind of go behind the scenes and get outlook to work for us. If you have an email open on the screen, there's also a backstage view for that email. So you'll see here when I go to the email and I hit file, it no longer talks about account options. It talks about options for this email. Let's set permissions for it. Let's move it to a folder. Can I take a look at the delivery report? Sometimes we want to recall a message. Oops, I didn't mean to send that. Take it out of their mailbox if they haven't read it already. And of course properties of the email itself. So again, it goes behind the scenes of the email message and allows you to look at it from a whole different perspective. When you click on a mail workspace, that just means we've clicked on mail. And the screen is set up however it is we need to set it up. Again, what I like about Outlook is we have a lot of options that we can choose. And some of these options I turn on and off as I need them. Sometimes I will put preview to the right to read a message preview. So if you click on the message here, you'll see it here. Most of the time I have it at the bottom of the screen. It depends on what I'm trying to preview in the message. So when we have a workspace like this, always pay attention to the View tab. Because in the View tab, I can change how I want to see those email messages. Do I want them by conversation? Do I want to change to a totally different view? What about my to-do bar? You'll see there is no to-do bar here. So I might want to put it up on the screen. Every time you change your workspace, as you get to know the program, visit this tab and set it up until you're happy with a look in the field. Red messages by default are bold and unread messages are not. So you're going to see that we have some of these changes but it really does depend on how we've set up our view. Remember we've got a View tab. So if we're in one particular view, unread messages are bold, the rest of them are not bold, this happens to be in the mail workspace viewing all. And I just want to point out to you that we have now blue lines. So the subject is in blue and we have the vertical bar. That's going to tell you that there are unread messages well. So visually, they're all standing out for you to notice and you can start tackling all your new leisure time reading. If you click on calendar, it moves you to your calendar workspace. I just want to point out to you that notice here, your home tab changes. Every time we change your workspace, it'll change to give you the tools specific to that workspace. So in this case, we're right here in calendar and I get to change the view, give me full day view or my work week view. I might want to email my calendar. I might want to set permissions for someone to see my calendar in a work environment. So regardless of how you want to set it up, all of your options are there as long as you're in the right workspace. Notice even with this version of Outlook, we even have a little weather application, which is fantastic. That makes me happy because as a system administrator, people always download these weather tools and they put so much spyware into machine. I'm very happy with seeing that because it is from a trusted source. Under people, this is where we see our contacts and our contacts groups. Now it has always been called contacts up to this point and we still refer to them verbally as contacts. Microsoft has decided our new hip way of dispelling contacts is people. So understand they are in fact the same thing. So when you click on people, you're going to see all of your contacts. But if you create any distribution groups, let's say team, and you put people in it, then you can actually email them all at the same time just by emailing team. So a little bit more on that later, really is just to show that in this view, that's how you manage them, their details appear over here to the right. And once again, that home tab has changed and it's changed so that you can be very specific to the people workspace that you're in and notice you can forward contacts, shared contacts. You can schedule a meeting with one of your contacts. So there's all sorts of good stuff that lands in there for you. There are some other terrific outlook tools. One of my favorites is the task list. Now I use this all the time and I have tasks on my to-do pane so I don't forget about things. But what I like is tasks also synchronized to my iPhone. So when I go there to my to-do lists, I can see all my tasks. We also have stick to-toes. Our sticky notes is, as long as you're in this context, you can put little sticky notes with whatever information you want right here on the screen. So it's a place to put stuff that, well, you don't know where else to put it. And we also have something called a journal. What I like about a journal is if you want to journalize when certain things happen, when you've had meetings, when something was done, you can actually create your own timeline here by creating journal entries. And I can see that today I had one meeting and three phone calls by adding each one of them into the journal so that I can refer back to this a little bit later. I have two favorite features in this version of Outlook and this is one of them. I would get an email in previous versions that says, I would like to have a meeting with you Friday. Are you available? I would have to fully open up calendar, which means the mail workspace is in front of me or I would open it up in a new window. Now what I can do is I can click and do what's called peaks. So I can go to the calendar. This will pop up. I can click on a day and notice here I have nothing scheduled today. So you can peek at something without having to get completely out of the mail workspace, take a look at the information and then go back and forth. If someone is looking for information or if I just want to quickly call Sylvia, I'm just going to give her a call. I can peek at people. It will pop up. I can type in Sylvia. It will give me her full contact record so I can dial her number. So that actually is a very helpful feature.
