Hey, welcome to monthly news number 18 Welcome to monthly news video number 18 As always quick rough and unpolished and dirty For this monthly news we're gonna be taking over to give Dave a little rest after 17 consecutive monthly news for those of you who don't know us She's cut Katrina also called cut bot and she is responsible for a bazaar as well as taking care of the Instagram page which you will love by now. I'm sure and that's Mattia I guess you all know him already the ones who have been following precious plastic he's been working for Dave for three or four years a long time already doing digital design and strategy a lot of things as some of you might know we are currently in Portugal us too with Dave and Ben our developer or technical expert yeah enjoying the sun the weather the sea some ice cream van life we're digging out the cars from the sand maybe now is a good time to to mention how Katrina came all the way down from Munich on a bus to try and avoid flying and reducing the cardboard footprint on a 40-plus hour hero amazing and Dave Dave had a little presentation in Paris in the beginning of July and he went from Lisbon to Paris and back to Lisbon on a bus on a 55 hour bus journey within three days within three days we don't want to say that's that's the solution we just saying you know flying is very polluting we try to look into alternatives of traveling how we could travel in a more sustainable way and we're not saying that's the best solution or the final solution but at least we question how we do things nowadays nothing that's what's important and of course we have Mattia who went all the way from Italy doing a zero-waste trip because we have plastic free July yeah avoiding plastic waste was a great experience and now I try to convince the guys who also taking on into this other trip that we're doing together so for the past two weeks we've been trying not to buy any plastic per se but also waste in general a lot of bulk food a lot of zero waste shops where you can get refillable stuff basically great experience a lot of learning it's definitely possible and I would advise every single one of you to get on board and stop buying not needed waste and trash and packaging try to avoid that it's possible doable and it's a lot of fun okay but the real reason why we're here in Portugal is really to develop a new version of precious plastic so as you probably know we won 300,000 euro last month 300,000 euro this is crazy I mean it's a lot of money I can't even count that far so for the past two weeks we've been you know talking discussing researching on how we could make the project more successful more open more collaborative so that more and more people can join the movement and try to really work together to find a solution to this gigantic mess that we are all part of basically so very soon we're gonna be needing a lot of designers developers engineers activists vegan chefs we're trying to put together a team of about 50 people to come down to the Netherlands we will publish the plan on August 1st so stay tuned and check out the website next.preciousplastic.com where we will share the plan and show you how you can get involved here's some free time ideas on how to fix this problem come down to the Netherlands showing forces and let's work together as one army and now is every month community news so let's start the community news with with the news so for the past three or four months I've been constantly working on creating articles every week about the plastic issues and our community machines work spaces that are particularly successful in order to try and understand a bit better what's going on on a global scale around this problem and particularly in the precious plastic community so if you have some time do make sure to check the news feeds on our on day vacancies on and make sure to interact as well make sure to leave a comment give us feedback and let us know what you think and also the people that we're talking about so if you know if I'm talking about a workspace you know do make sure to send them your love and to send them your remarks or doubts or questions so that we can all engage a bit more within the community and make sure to grow all together. Then it's nice to see that many people all over the world got inspired from the technique from Kunst op Schmiede the guys in Dresden who came up with this acrylic glass mold and many people all over the world started doing the same and working with plexiglass mold it's actually super nice because then you can see how the plastic is injected in your mold and very useful because then you know when the mold is full and it's just very cool to watch. And this is a feature that we're gonna be enhancing even more with version 4 so yeah be ready to share how you do things so the more people can learn from you your technique and your way of working. And another interesting and cool thing to see is that many people from the community also started making their workspace in a container like the guys in Denmark setting up a shop and one workspace container precious plastic LA these guys are rocking it and then also not to forget our lovely Bjorn from Iceland setting up precious plastic Reykjavik also in a container. Okay so thanks everybody for watching and that's all for this monthly yeah yeah thanks everyone for supporting on patreon and we're gonna see you next month


YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on is saying Raven here with another video and another episode of NFL questions from subscribers and Two questions. The first one came from a boy Raven C He asked will the rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson who is getting all the hype and he's still getting all the hype Will he help the Ravens sell more tickets? Which is a great question a business question.  Let me just double-check Chill bill excuse me chill bill 23 my god chill bill 23 He asked if Flacco just plays great if he plays lights out if he has his best season Will the Ravens give him another contract and he also asked can a Ravens rookie Make the NFL top 100. So before we get into those questions, let me introduce myself really quick me I'm engraving vids and this is my YouTube channel engraving vids and I'm a Ravens fan, but on here We just talked football period. So make sure you subscribe. So first question from Raven C Well Lamar Jackson helped the Ravens sell more tickets. Oh, yeah, of course. That's a no brainer. That's a no brainer straight up That's gonna that's an easy question He's definitely what just like we talked about before just with all this hype that he's getting with all these people that are Checking for Lamar Jackson all these people that are watching for Lamar Jackson whether people are Expecting him or wanting him to succeed or whether people whether people are expecting or wanting him to fail People are expecting him and they're waiting for them. They're watching for them They're checking form and they really want to see what Lamar Jackson ends up doing They want to see if he's gonna end up being good if he ends up being bad They want to see if he's gonna get snaps if whatever he does. They are going to be watching heavy They're gonna be watching heavy and with With Lamar Jackson cuz I know my boy Raven C acts about the preseason if Lamar Jackson plays in the preseason It's got that really gonna help the ticket sales and oh, yeah Oh, yeah, and he didn't even got it not even he ain't even got to play in a preseason for it To help ticket sales But with him playing in the preseason it will definitely help them because people are just gonna have their eyes glued That Hall of Fame game Like I like I always say Well, not always say because this is the first year But this this is a year that I've been the most excited for preseason games because I really want to see Everybody I want to see everybody back. I want to see everybody's looking, but I especially want to see Lamar Jackson and RG3 I really want to see both of those guys a lot because I just want to see how they look with RG3 I want to see if he can knock off the rust. I mean being out of football for a year. That's a long time That's a really long time and with Lamar Jackson I just want to see how he goes through his progressions how he reads Defenses and we're not going to get to see too much of it because the defenses and the offenses that get played in preseason They're not anything special and it's not any type of schemes They just going out there trying to give them they trying to give put fillers out there for their players See who they like who they dislike Who they think they should keep who they won't keep They're just trying to do that. So I don't expect anything too crazy during the preseason, but it still does It's still got my excitement man, because I really want to see Just everybody man, but especially these two quarterbacks. I really want to see RG3 and uh Lamar Jackson see how those dudes do um So yeah, and I'm really hoping to see them here in Miami. I'm really hoping to but anyway, um So, oh, you didn't get the notification this time. See that's how it is man. That's how youtube is That's how youtube is youtube flip floppy That's why I tell everybody make sure you follow on twitter so you can see when every video comes out and for twitter You can turn on your notifications for twitter But I don't want you to get annoyed with me with every tweet that I put because sometimes if i'm on twitter I'll be tweeting and tweeting and tweeting and I don't want you to get annoyed with all the notifications From every single tweet that I put so I would say turn I mean if you want to turn your notifications on twitter, that's fine But that is the only way that you can guarantee That you will have a uh a notification for every single video That's the only way that you can guarantee to get a notification for every video If you follow on twitter and turn your notifications on on there and like I said, I don't I don't want to I don't want y'all to uh feel like I'm spamming y'all with tweets, but When I get to tweeting sometimes it could be a lot But um if you got your notifications on because every every video goes to twitter Every youtube video goes to twitter. So you would be able to see every single video. So that's that but anyway, um And to my guy chill bill Chill bill 23 he asked Two questions. He said if flacco just plays lights out if he has his best season Will the ravens give him another contract go to ravens give flacco another contract if he just goes out there and kills it Well, or or he said will they let him go? So for that question If he goes out there and kills it if he goes out there and just shows ravens like hey This is this is the reason that I wanted y'all to pay me all this money This is the reason why I would I would be in the top 10 and top five for in in quarterback salary cap Space that I'm taking up for the past five years This is why I wanted to be paid like a top guy if he goes out there and he plays like that then Ravens could do one of two things They could either keep them. They wouldn't give him another contract. They were just I think they were It's a tough one. It's a tough one But I think I think they would just keep them at where he's at now If he goes out there and like really kills it if he goes out there and just straight kills it As a best season of his life Well, not the best season of his life But just has a great season because I me saying the best season of his life is not really that great of a season um Again 27 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. That's not really great. But anyway, um, if he goes out there and just kills it And it has such a great phenomenal season. I think they would just keep them. I think they would just keep them and they could either Cut them and Resign them But I don't I I couldn't see them really doing that. I don't I don't know but I still you know what either Because it just all depends it depends on so much stuff real quick Let me get into your other question that you asked before we finish this question He also asked will a rave can a ravens rookie make the top 100? um Yes, they can but uh, what ravens rookie is really going to get a chance this year um to make a top 100 Might not be lemar jackson because he probably not going to really be a quarterback Um, we don't have any rookie running backs offensive linemen. We could do that But they ain't going to be checking for no rookie in the top 100 at offensive line. Um Linebackers, uh, kenny young he could have a possibility depending on how much he plays how much playing time he gets if he's a starter uh cornerback Avery depending on how much playing time he gets that depends on jimmy smith um safety to shone elliot it depends on how much playing time he gets that depends on uh tony jefferson and eric weddle But I just they could it's a possibility. It just depends on their playing time But the top 100 is not a that's not a That's not an accolade. That's not a uh That's not a feat. That's not a um something that you should hold How you to because the top 100 I stopped watching that years ago The top 100 is one of the the stupidest list ever It's one of the dumbest lists ever it holds no value. It holds no credibility It holds no weight. It holds nothing man. The top 100 is absolute garbage. It's garbage So if they made the top 100 find if they didn't still find because the top 100 means absolutely Nothing it means zero. It means nothing not a nothing. Um, but anyway back to your first question chill bill Will the ravens gift flack or another contract if he goes out there and kills it right now? I'm thinking No, I think they would just leave him where he is I would just had to see the cap here next year. Um But I think they will most likely leave him where he is or they could do a thing what they do with With enough veterans where uh, they will cut them and bring them back at a reduced rate But they've never been in this situation with a quarterback before that's why this is new territory. That's why I'm so confused on what they would do Um, another option. We talked about them keeping him at the current contract. We talked about them cutting him um at His current contract and him either becoming a free agent or them resigning him But another option that they could do Another option that they have with flacco is if he goes out there and kills it then They could end up using that using this season as trade bait They could use this season as trade bait So they could be like look Here's flacco. He's a starting NFL quarterback. You already know what he can do. Um, you've seen his work You've seen his resume. You know his accolades. You know what he's accomplished in this league Look what he can do and look what he just did. He just had a great season So here If you want to start in quarterback who's gonna who's stays healthy Um, he he does this thing. He's decent. He ain't the best, but he definitely ain't the worst But he just came off a killer season So he's riding the high right now if you want this guy, you know what here you can have him for a second or third round pick So they could use they could use him if he has a great season just to elevate his trade value They could do that and it would It would do everything that they're gonna be doing in the future anyway Because one they will be getting the contract off the books if they traded them And then two because this is the last year that it has guaranteed money in it and then two They would accumulate a draft pick and a high draft pick at that Hopefully they wouldn't use it on another bronze and foosie and nothing against bronze and foosie personally I just know it just hasn't worked out for him so far in the football field. So That's that but Ravens could do they they could do so much stuff with flacco based off of this year It's just so many different possibilities. Well, not so many different.  So to answer your question. Well, that there's four things that they could do So, what's up, ryan? Uh, how you doing, man? Your stuff said do you think the ravens can get rid of jimmy smith? And joe flacco let crab tree go and let smoky brown go and have cap space to get odell and why and Have a why receive a call of odell beckham Sneed uh Jalil scott and jordan lastly, of course. Yeah, they could do all of that. They could do all of that um, jimmy smith We know how he is already Love him, but don't love his consistency of his health consistency Flacco that's up in there. We'll see how that goes, but we all know the possibilities On letting crab tree go Um, he is essentially on a one-year deal because they could cut him this year and not have much much cap They wouldn't hurt the cap at all. Really?  So That's that so you didn't even got a you didn't even got to worry about that. He's only on a one-year deal So he would be a free agent anyway. So that's that so That will clear up a lot of room a lot of cap room. I'm not sure exactly how much but it will clear up a nice amount. Um What's up? Uh, little little great. Wow Sometimes when we stream this why I love streaming more because people come back from the dead little the great man What's up? How you been? How is everything? I ain't seen in a minute. Wow What's up, man? What about getting Brandon cooks next off season? I don't know.  We don't know who's got we don't know a lot We don't know anything about next off. Are you doing good? That's what's up, man I'm happy for you.  We don't know anything. We don't know We just don't know it's too early. I mean, we ain't even in this season yet. We can even in preseason yet What's up, John? So we'll see how everything goes man. We'll see how it all works out What do you think the Ravens will do if Jimmy Smith gets injured? They will do the same thing they do every single year Know that it's coming. That's it. They will know that it's coming Cleveland gonna try to trade is trying to trade Cory Coleman. Really? I heard something about that that he could possibly be traded, but why why keep them keep them Cleveland You got a nice why receive a stable there, man. Keep them. I hope they don't trade them But they probably will man, but I feel like they should keep them, man Why man? I don't like that People should be living more in the now Yeah, I mean people people like planning for the future too. I ain't mad at that Um, but it is what it is. Anyway, appreciate y'all. Thank you all for coming through I love y'all man. Can any of the Ravens QPs know how to slide? I was I was watching Lamar Jackson highlights. I was watching some I forgot what game it was It was a game where they showed like every every completion and every run from Lamar Jackson and this dude I didn't see any sliding. I mean, I don't I didn't watch the whole thing, but I watch a good portion of it I'm like, man, this dude stays up. He stays up He says Smith getting injured is on the Ravens to do this. Hey, man. It is what it is He thinks Suggs replacement is already on the squad. I don't know because they haven't given those guys a chance Matt Jude on I do not think is it? Matt Jude on is cool, but he is no Tyrell Suggs and he doesn't even look the part of Tyrell Suggs Um, so I don't know man. I say we trade or cut them if Jimmy has a bad year I think even if he has a good year, it's a possibility that they uh trade or cut them because he's always hurt and you got a High salary captain, but anyway, I'm getting off of here for real now. I'll see y'all in a little bit Thank y'all for coming through. I love y'all make sure again you follow on twitter So you can know when every single video goes live if you want to put your notifications on on twitter Fine, but make sure you follow. So when I put up a video, you'll see the tweet Because youtube is youtube and youtube will have you all kinds of messed up So appreciate y'all. Thank you. Thank you for coming through I'm out. I'm going


All right lady. What is this? Hey, it's a stem of Sunday and today and we're vibing a really old project This is a rotary encoder to iSquad C converter using seesaw. It's a little 50 cent chip that does the rotary Encoder measurements and then sends it data over iSquad C. I've got my j-link here because it's gonna be fun to debug this I've got my metro wired up to this rotary encoder and you see here I can turn this and when I turn this knob I have this Arduino code that is measuring the rotary position and plotting it out for me so you can see it's working pretty well What's nice about this is rotary encoders are really annoying to write firmware for so having it all over iSquad C means you can connect multiple rotary encoders or you don't do a lot of timing nonsense So just testing this out and it's also got a little button you can press so this will be in the store soon


Rhywbeth eich bod ydych yn troi'r Fadol. Yn y gwaith o'r newid Caerwyo Paradym Dŵr, yw caerfod? Cyndro fydd ar yno yma maes scau y maes, y gallwn amser o'r ffordd yn Y supporters.

Byddwn ni'n gwybod i ddim rhywbeth yma, we're going to get right stuck in before we've even had an advert hit and then what we should do is take a little look at each one of these models and let me know what you think right well the first thing we're going to mention about the lux is the real shift in terms of a colour way because well what we've seen in previous models likes the epic in lime green and yellow the mafric orange they're very much bright and bold colours and for paradigm things have gone well very much to the dark side of this navy a gweithio. Ac ydy Benson That is one that's going to have to grow on me a little bit from a shelf appeal perspective. I think it looks well put together, looks a quality bill, but I'm not sure it's got the visual enthysbnt that I would quite look for, and the crown is one where, well, they've very much taken a step to well away from a mat crown, which we've seen in Roe, which is very, very popular, and the mat crown became popular with a lot of manufacturers gone back to high gloss and on ac ychydig o'r fath o'r cynterio cyfrwyngau kolonid, mae ddigonwyd yn gweithio ddag.

I could go on reading off names that seem to roll off the tongue quite easily. The paradigm not so well and again I think that's a strange move and a strange name from Callaway. But again maybe that's just me. So let me know what do you think of first of all the name and secondly the colorways and the way the paradigm range looks. Now we all know that well looks are very much subjective but how does this thing perform? So pushing looks to one side for a second and when it hits some balls we will start off with that driver before I get there if you've not seen any other videos as yet then I appreciate your loyalty and I will inform you the main story in terms of technology behind this new Callaway driver is the 360 carbon chassis and what that basically means is that the whole of this there's two pieces of carbon triaxial carbon and a compressed carbon or forged carbon rather on the bottom glued together for want of a better word and what that has meant is a 44% saving in terms of weight and that's been distributed in all the places that make life easier for us and that is in terms of MOI and forgiveness and ultimately all-around performance and we will see that in later videos to whether or not that rings true. But for now we've got to get a ball away and yeah I've just got to get over the way this club looks at address because I must admit right now I find it a little bit distracted oh one other thing before I do see off this driver is probably going to hit the UK stores for around £529 yet you heard that bit right £529 that's a decent ball exactly where I aimed just to cut off that little off the left hand side 90 degree driver head that I'm playing in this paradigm triple diamond at the head that I'm trying right now really good sound and feel out of that which was really interesting I haven't many shots with this this morning but I'll continue hitting a few more before I give you my verdict on this and we'll move on to the fairways and the hybrids. Now we'll get my full thoughts on the performance of the paradigm driver very shortly but for now we're going to look at what I think is a real interesting lineup within this paradigm range and that is the fairway woods. But before we discuss performance I think we should do that thing and talk about the way these look because well yeah again they're quite a bit different. You'll see the addition of some visible weighting in terms of this gold which I think is really elevating the product in terms of quality again but just visually all round it looks better with that in. You also notice on the sole rather is again these sort of running rails which again are to help with turf interaction I kind of like this I've seen it with different products before. The interesting bit for me is when you turn that product over and look at it at dress again and the crown is really interesting that they've widened up the elements of where the face meets the crown so more of that sort of dark grey colour and what it effectively does I mean it in honestly if that was if that was white let's be honest here I mean I don't know how many people are going to sort of say similar in their review this to me looks like an engine from tailor-made it is very very similar in terms of what they've done in terms of the design and I don't say that's a negative but it is very very similar indeed and like I said the other interesting bit for me is the profile they've got a real gorgeous shaping in the fairway woods which I really really like and again it's that balance between just sit nice in terms of the height in terms of the profile but then the shaping again in terms of that backside is really nice when you sat at a dress and again I've got a five wood which you're going to try from the fairway and also from the T picks the ball up really well indeed so it takes a lot of boxes from a visual perspective I much prefer the look of the fairway woods than I do with a driver right now but again it's not really jumping out at me to say come on and buy me and again it's that colour weight at the top that has me with a little bit of an issue but it's a minor issue let's see how this thing performs that's absolutely flowing off and I've got a couple of five woods with me today which again you know I'm very fond of lofted fairway woods real interesting that there's two sort of opposite ends of the spectrum if you're liking then I've got the paradigm with a light flexing and I've got this triple diamond with a stiff shaft in triple diamond with a stiff shaft is more suited to me but this thing goes like an absolute rocket is as the lowest spinning version which suggests sometimes that it also has difficulty in terms of getting a ball airborne and not finding that at all and then this could be a real sort of secret weapon within the paradigm range but yet again I'll hit a few more balls we'll move on to another club maybe the hybrid and then I'll give you my overall evaluation at the end now it is of course a real interesting time in terms of just how many clubs are being released right now and what you're going to see in the next few weeks is an absolute deluge of new stuff now a lot of you are going to complain about the price tags which is really a relevant point especially right now where money is tight so what I'm really interested to find out is how many of you are actually considering buying new clubs right now because I've got a feeling it could be a particularly tough year for golf club manufacturers because like I said money's tight these things have gone up yet again in terms of price so let me know what your thoughts are are you even considering new clubs or is it a case of sitting tight right now now next up in my bag of paradigm tricks is not that it is in fact a hybrid I'm looking for yeah that's more like it and this is a real shift in terms of what Callaway have done and really interesting first of all in terms of their head shape and profile why is that difference well normally speaking we have been used to seeing a much more of the sort of high toe almost more like the sort of iron like hybrid if you like this is much more like a traditional type of fairway wood almost and I think this has followed on from that very popular utility wood they created which again was almost like a a cross between a hybrid and a fairway wood and they very much continued with this the shaping is completely different to what we've seen in recent years and I think it'll appeal more to the masses it certainly does to me to be honest with you they've also introduced again I'll just show you those and whether or not you can see from there or maybe that side's a bit better and that's that rail system underneath which we've seen it's been very prevalent in a number of other manufacturers and again it just assists in terms of helping through the turf the crown is different from that of the fairway woods and that of the driver and there is a single colour it's that navy high gloss it's it's really nice to address the variety is the key that's here though for me for most average golfers and that's in the amount of lofts and variations that you can buy and I think these higher lofted fairway woods hybrids rather could be a real positive in a lot of people's bags the question is how do they perform well I've actually got a 24 degree which I would class as sort of maybe a sort of five hybrid something like that but got plenty of loft like I said there's some white score lines in the face which to me again really set off the navy crown frame the ball really well again the type of club that sort of gains you or gives you provides you with a lot of confidence I feel like I'm going to pick this ball up I feel confident address I'm close to the ball in terms of length of shaft and that's right on the flag if that yardage is right that's probably the best shot I've hit all morning just a super pick up again and it's that thing that I always refer to in terms of these type of clubs lofted hybrids that is and also lofted fairways everything I've just said they just use confidence and the paradigm range do it really well in terms of like I said the look from above for me is that perfect combination between I'm not always keen on typical hybrids but the way they've elongated this club head and made it look like a more smaller compact fairway wood well for me at least anyway that's perfect so the fairway or the hybrids I keep getting these all confused the hybrids for me huge huge positive but I particularly like to pay more attention to those lofted hybrids and like I said that 24 degree is an absolute weapon to have in most people's golf bag again that's that little hybrid 24 degrees which a little bit low off the face again there but still managed to pick the ball up and just to reiterate what I said earlier on probably the most interesting club I've tried from this paradigm range this morning I'd love to do more testing with this and we'll see how it compares to others in the range but the one thing that Callaway have done really well and that's getting the sound and feel very consistent throughout all of these products that I've tested this morning and it's a real good balance as well between something soft enough to give something back into their hands but it feels like that ball's going out there as well so yeah really as premium as it gets in terms of what I've sort of felt in terms of a range of fairway woods and drives that's a real big positive I would say in terms of sound and feel but let's be honest for that kind of money that's the least you've got to expect more interesting strikes of the morning really that was the triple diamond five wood which is particularly interesting in my opinion that was really heavy in terms of map before ball the interesting bit was the fact that it still managed to pop the ball up quite high and also carried a significant different distance far different than what I was expecting based on the strike and I always take that as a huge positive so that was the paradigm three hybrid and again really been drawn towards this club very consistent in terms of its performance I've played very straight with it again which is always very much a positive and no doubt that is very much to do with the variables in the swing and maybe just the fact that I've got a bit more control over the shorter length in terms of the hybrid shaft but again real standout product for me so far has been the hybrid and that of the fairway woods super impressed with what they do not because they performed exceptionally well when I've hit the ball really well but they've performed consistently well no matter how well I have hit the ball and that's key now what you're going to see is in the driver and the fairway woods you're going to see three different models you've got the paradigm you've got the paradigm x and then you've got the triple diamond now basically the x being the sort of draw biased perhaps more forgiving the paradigm being the product it's got adjustability and probably the one aimed at the masses and then the triple diamond which is the lowest spinning and then in the hybrid you've got the paradigm and the paradigm x and all will be revealed how they all separate in terms of performance very shortly so ultimately what is my opinion of the new paradigm range of driver fairway and hybrids well it's very much split up into three categories really or perhaps two let's start with that driver and I must admit I'd be very hard push to give a real opinion on it on the base that I've only tried that triple diamond and for me my performance with that club is that it spins too low and I don't generate enough club head speed to get the carry distances required to see the benefit of that club so I'd rather wait before I pass my full judgments on paradigm drivers until I've got the paradigm and the paradigm x and we'll see how they perform in my hands you then move into the fairways and into the hybrids and we've got to say super impressed with both both visually new changing profile on the hybrid I really really like but ultimately it boils down to one simple question when you do a review and that I suppose is have I seen anything out of this range that really made me sort of sit up and sort of you know got that wow factor is it anything that really wants to outperform anything that I've seen before and the simple answer to that question is well no not really and for that reason it's very difficult to pass a judgment based on only one round of golf as well which I also think is very difficult but these are extremely high price products and I think what you're looking for is something to really jump out and hit you if you're going to make a change and for me like I said nothing did that for as much as I thought the fairway woods were fantastic performed really well and like I said hybrids as well and I think we'll do a much more detailed review of all of those products with data to back it up and have a closer look as the months roll out and maybe my opinion will change but right now I would say really super impressive range of products of paradigm never going to get me a draw on that name I don't think not 100% sold on the looks so for me it's one of them products that are good but not good enough I feel to make its way ultimately into my bag but that's my opinion and as ever the advice is always that you go out you try it yourselves and I know you do anyway and you draw your own conclusions and see what you think and well like I said we will do more testing in the months ahead anyway that's me done I'm about to finish I've finished this video I'm about to kick off the paradigm irons and from a few balls off hits so far now they could be very interesting so make sure you're around tomorrow evening to see my thoughts on paradigm irons but for now I'll see you all very soon


Hi guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel, this is Daniel Roselheim, I'm at the first of today's two official protests in Jerusalem against the Russian war. On Ukraine, this one is being held directly outside the Knesset, Israel's parliament. There's another protest planned for 6pm today at Kikar Safra, which is the Jerusalem Municipality Square. I've been here for about 30 minutes at this point and a few chants have been heard repeatedly. Probably the most prominent one has been Bennett, which means Bennett, get off the fence. And that's referring to the fact that Israel's Prime Minister, Nathalie Bennett, really hasn't taken a very strong stance so far against Russia. He's kind of left it up to his foreign minister, Yahir Lapid, to issue stark accononations. And that sort of reflects the fact that Israel has, unusually among nations, relatively good relations with both Russia and Ukraine. So the attendance at the rally here today in Jerusalem is relatively good, there is a good turnout of people here, not quite as big as the rally in Tel Aviv last night. But nevertheless, there is a strong show of support here, both from the local Ukrainian community and from English speakers and from Hebrew speakers as well. So there's been a good demo here and people are calling on the government pretty aggressively in order to take a tougher stand on the current war going on in Ukraine and to condemn the Russian action in much stronger terms than they've been doing today. My name is Hen and I'm here on the demonstration against the war in Ukraine for support of Ukraine, for support of the civil society, for applying pressure on the Israeli police to further help Ukraine and send more assistance, desperately need, you know, weapons, but also all sorts of humanitarian aid. And I think that our government is in a position which can deliver. But unfortunately, because of, you know, geopolitical, let's say, geopolitical pressures and so on and in the world stage, Israel is kind of reluctant and hesitant and we want to encourage, we want to encourage those in the government, the Knesset, which already supports further assistance to Ukraine because we believe that's the right thing. What can I say? My father is living in Moscow. We are all in this. We don't support this country. The Russians don't support this country. We are all negative. Putin, this is the end. Please, help us. Israel, help us. We are also Israelis. I am Jewish and I am Russian. There is also Jewish, there is also Jewish people. Help us all.  Celebs, leave us alone. Leave us alone, from here to Russia, leave us alone. The decisive action right now. Do you not think that Israel's hands are tied with what's going on, the Russian support in Syria? No, Israel tries to play like both sides instead of having clear voice against Russian imperialism, massive scale crimes against humanity that are done on the soil of Ukraine right now. PUT IT IN THE CARE!


Spend some money and help me. How are y'all doing? Yes, sir.  I'm just calling them the Williams brothers So I'm Hermione Williams. I'm the oldest.   All right. Make sure you get all the points My first business is called lock shark. Okay. Yep I created this anti-theft GPS protective case that basically locks on to tablets or phones So if the phone dies or the battery is dead locks on to the device has a GPS tracker in it So that was my first business and then after Ari had graduated from Barry University got compute computer science degree Kind of had idea that amen like there's really no basketball app for the people like for these real basketball players I mean what really pissed me off was this company called hoop hoop maps that was on Shark Tank They were two brothers, but they never played basketball in their life. So it was just like We need to start this right they didn't just have all the essentials that a real basketball player needed like what like what? So they have fine nearby basketball, but they didn't really have What basketball players want we know that you could find nearby basketball, but who's actually hooping in this area? We have our little YouTube channel. What basketball stuff you need to know to get better at your game They didn't have those and are you actually a Hooper? That's another thing that kind of Set it off for me because my background is computer science. He said I graduated But I got the idea like the last Semester of school and we had to march madness when the tournament stuff like that had a final do So we ended up turning my final to our first app being check up and then from there just developed the app by ourselves bootstrapped it and Since there's been four years now. I bet it hit In the first year, I bet it hit 3,000 users. Then now we're our second version right now in the app store Tell me a little bit more about that like working you so I can say I downloaded the app and I'm on there Yeah, it's gonna be the first thing I see first thing you see will be the map and you will see all the nearby Basketball courts in your area. So whether it's somebody has an event there or somebody checked in you always be notified Right there who's actually playing.  They like oh nigga They checked in or the events right there next door.  So Users follow the courts and whoever's has the most followers the court ranks higher. Oh, what's been like your biggest struggle? We're getting the info for the app I would say I mean just the progress the bootstrapping. I mean if we right now is about it's just us So all right now just the data stuff we get the data now all thing not only thing right now Just right in the market. How do you like say for instance you own the app? Can you like register a court?  Yeah, you can create a court Create a court So if it's like you got a court at the crib and you like I dare more for the pull-up, right?  It's basketball related. You can do that on the app. Bring everybody there It could be a tournament to be training. You may need time a basketball related event But y'all linked up with the WNBA yet You know see tonight as well You don't see tonight tonight, but we have a little we have info but I'll say that we got to keep working But yeah, we're almost there or y'all should just have one section for old niggas. We want to play half We got the skills and there's for the old Joe's and the pros too, so it's for everybody Is it like a social network about hard bro old-school league? No fast break you gotta wait on everybody Ain't no fast break.  You get a wide open shot though. Nobody try to car Let him shoot that There's some hoopers in Mississippi.   Yeah, I ain't really never played on on the tree Like a full court with the rim on a tree The crate. Yeah with the plywood. Yeah, I create a great basketball in the city But when I don't treat a part of the building but great basketball hit different when the ball is naked like the ball smooth Yeah, it's a war out ball, but it's airing up. That's that's when you create ball Hell yeah, they just build a court anyway You got a court. I got a hoop For my son You who he oh, it's on third chain That's right. That's a good age. You taught him how to hoop. Can you hoop is the real question a little bit? Yeah, I saw you know like once I saw like what a hoop a while.  Then they show up with a full squad It's like 14 of them. Mm-hmm.   Yeah, I'm missing them. Hey, you guys was on that backcourt that game wasn't nobody watching.   Are you?  That's when you know, you're right.  Mm-hmm.    Shump, so I'm sure though.  Yeah, he can dance. That's a Chicago JP Jabari I saw him two days ago at the semi-final I grew up with him played a ball in the same team with him. They don't know Wildcats in a few years So good to connect with him, but see that's Benji. Yes, Benji D rose D rose. Yeah. Yeah It's good vibes off saw in the same city.  Yeah The game gonna be over at some point I Mean everything's indoors now. Thank God. I mean it's too cold outside So we've got some type of security. I mean, but it runs be the runs be the runs. I mean, it's the Mecca, so I mean Nobody gonna back down. Yeah, I mean I moved out to Texas and I Dallas there's some hoopers down there But what we in the middle of nowhere in Lubbock, West Texas where Texas Tech is out Yeah, that's them.  I want you in a big Metroplex You can you can get a go against anybody. Yeah, so what's the best way to like like the like the most success y'all had of Like getting people to the app I'll say these events. So we host a lot of different runs a different life this pick up basketball a Like guess celebration the takeovers and usually kind of about two hundred and a hundred people try to pull up have For run up to run a couple games have come a big out first come out You know record stuff like that edit off and ship it out. But right now it's more just partner with People want to get you know, basketball influencers event hosts gyms and kind of fill up their courts and kind of fill up the activity So yeah, shout out to filet cuz he really yeah filet was our first When we went out to Los Angeles for the NBA All Star All-Star game We ended up we ended up sneaking into the Snoop Dogg and what was it? Who's gonna play games to change event in LA? How you sneak in? Just kind of walk through that bit We had our camera everything you know suits on you know I thought we was media we walked past and We got there right before the all the police kind of was showing up and they were teaching all the police Kind of lined up right before so thank God we got before that but then you this the trick to doing that Do you just got to act like you're supposed to be there right anytime you go to an event? Even if you just put the name of your company on your media pass. I'm like what I think it's 85 media We're supposed to be here. All right. Okay bet.  Hey, I worked up right place at the right time get there early too. Yeah, that's exactly what we did. Yeah, I get there early You got to be in the area where ain't nobody supposed to be in earlier What happened we got on our ball to business channel One-two-six yeah one-two-six we got it all Well, we on the black market let him know where they get pull the apple up and all that type of stuff You can go on the Apple App Store Look up check up basketball or check up app. You'll see us on there and as well as a WW dot check up basketball calm.  Yeah, L. O. C. Shark Shout out to that. It's going good man. We're doing pilot runs with school districts here in the end of the year and Got got the full patent. We're ready to take off. So Just staying patient man It's a long road doing apps and doing tech companies Yeah, those take about eight to ten years and people taking black people taking over tech bro. Yeah, we're taking Let them know sir soon as we get this hoop abjunct off this summer coming up I don't know where they hoop in that come on. It's gonna be on them. Let you know I might know who but I might pull up There's some look we need to tell my little so we partnered with the company called no and This company allows it's called. No, it's called. No This company allows us to partner with them and say, you know ball is life is all those kids waving They cameras around. Yeah, you know, well our app is gonna let them get paid for doing that So if anybody goes to these events and people are asking a is it popping over there? It's a hoopin over there. They'll pay you to be at those events So even if you ain't even hoop it even if you on the injured reserve just like Yeah, take a picture or take a video or could just show like what's going on That's hard. I like how y'all think bro. You definitely tell y'all brothers Yeah, and you can put you can see us play one-on-one on the ball to business last episode one last one So That first game the warm-up is the game it ain't Three three out of five six No, if we was if we were still playing both D1 and D2 collegiate basketball still that'd be a different story When you 32 out here and you got to do two jobs.

Ancosircheosis is a tropical disease caused by the parasitic nematode Ancosirca vulvulus. It is targeted for elimination through the use of ivermectin mass administration. This drug kills the microfilare and temporarily halts their reproduction by the microfilare. To assess the effectiveness of this treatment, we genotyped 436 microfilare from 10 people each in Ituri, Democratic Republic of the Congo, DRC, and Mariti County, South Sudan. These samples were taken both before and four to five months after the treatment. Our analyses revealed 52 and 103 mitochondrial DNA haplotypes among the microfilare from DRC and South Sudan, respectively. However, only a small number of these haplotypes were shared between the two populations. Furthermore, our analyses indicated that the genetic diversity in DRC and South Sudan was underestimated due to the limited number of samples. Additionally, our analyses showed that the per-person adult worm burden was higher in South Sudan than in DRC. Finally, our anal. This article was authored by Shannon M.

Hello, everyone. Good afternoon or good morning. I'm on the East Coast, so it's afternoon over here. Welcome to the Getting Started with the Give Back Tahoe Giving Season webinar. Thank you so much for everyone attending. Really appreciated. We're going to go ahead and get started. My name is Lisa. I am the Community Engagement Manager here at Mighty Cause. We're the technology providers for Give Back Tahoe. For those of you who are not familiar with Mighty Cause, we've been in the crowdfunding space since 2006. We've helped raise over $650 million for over 30,000 nonprofits. We're one of the leading Giving Day technology platforms. And we're here to help support organizations with their fundraising needs and for their Give Back Tahoe campaign. So this year's Give Back Tahoe Giving Season will be from December 1st to December 15th. That's when Challenge Grants will be provided. You can utilize the entire month to fundraise for your end of year fundraising campaign. But the Challenge Prize timeframe is from December 1st to December 15th. And of course, it's hosted by the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation. We're first going to go over some key things about Give Back Tahoe this year. And then at the very end, I will be going over a technical walkthrough of some key things that you want to keep in mind as you're utilizing the platform. For some organizations, if you're new to the platform, you're going to learn where you can find key information for returning organizations. This is going to be a refresher so that you can be reminded of where you can go to access your donation reports, etc. So I'm going to pass these couple of slides to Caroline from the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation. So Caroline, if you want to jump on, you can take over. Hi everyone. This is Caroline speaking. I guess you already have received my email. But I am, I recently joined the TTCF team about a month ago, so I will be on this learning journey with you today. And I really look forward to working with you on Give Back Tahoe these next few months. But we're really excited that the platform is going to be available year round for you to use as both the donation platform and volunteer portal. And then as Lisa said, we have shortened the giving season to only be December 1 and December 15 this year. We just felt with promotions and some of the feedback we were getting was it would be better to just focus on those first two weeks. And then again, the platform will still be available for you to use for any end of year donations. So we just wanted to call out. I know it's been a busy month, few months for all of you guys, but Placer Shares just finishing up and hopefully some of you were involved in that grant cycle. And then our community grant cycle was pushed back a little bit because of that. So September 14 that will open up. And then you have until October 11. And then the Give Back Tahoe giving season obviously December 1 to 15. And then the emergency response fund. We've already distributed about over 800,000 from the emergency response fund and it is still ongoing. So just an FYI there. And again, if you need anything or have any questions or ideas, feel free to reach out to me. Awesome. Thanks so much Caroline. So as we move forward in the slide deck. Of course, Give Back Tahoe, we had a credibly successful year last year raised over $338,000 from over 1400 generous donors. And of course, we're always here to help raise awareness for Tahoe trucking nonprofits. So let's get started and talking about this year and what your organizations can do for your campaign. So of course, the first step is always to register your nonprofit. Every year you will have to complete this registration form. So you want to do the same thing that you did last year and you want to complete the registration form. It's a really short form. So it should be sweet and easy. The registration form is currently open. So if you go to Give Back Tahoe.org, you'll see it right. It's the primary call to action. And you'll have until October 9 to complete your registration form. This is going to approve you for the challenge season and make you eligible for prizes. One of the things that I'll be talking through in the technical walkthrough is your fundraising pages, your organization profile. And one of the things that you want to keep in mind when editing your profile, editing your fundraising page is the story that you're going to be sharing this year for Give Back Tahoe. What do you want to relate to your donors? What's different about your organization in 2020 than 2019? Obviously there are a lot of events in the world that's happened since then. So how has your organization been impacted? Why would donations within the Give Back Tahoe challenge season be really important for your organization? So those are a couple of things that you want to consider as you begin editing your profile and your fundraising pages. And another thing we'll also be discussing is your organization profile versus peer-to-peer fundraising. We can also talk about this a little bit more detail on the second webinar we'll be hosting about fundraising strategies. But you have a lot of different campaign pages available to your organization. And you may want to consider thinking about if you want to do a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. So for organizations that are returning back to their, to the platform you guys have participated last year, one of the most important things that you want to make sure that you're doing when you walk back in is to reset your metrics. The metrics that will be displayed on your organization profile are going to show last year's total raise.  And again, we'll, I'll show you that in the technical walkthrough. Of course, there are toolkit resources that are going to be available to you throughout the campaign. The toolkit will have a lot of links to great support articles, some tips, FAQs, templates, etc. So please utilize this information. We want to make your lives easier as you're starting your campaign and strategizing what you're planning on doing and the emails and social media that you're planning for your campaign. So definitely check that out. And again, that can be found at givebacktaco.org. When we're also talking about strategy, I spoke a little bit about peer-to-peer fundraising. And peer-to-peer fundraising is activating your ambassadors and thinking about who in your network of supporters, if that's board members, volunteers, etc. How can they help support your organization during this challenge season during givebacktaco? So again, in the framework of getting your organization reset, technically, this is a great thing to start thinking about for the challenge season. How can you utilize your support network to the best of your ability? And of course, making sure that you're starting your communication for the giving event, sending out emails, social media, newsletters, making sure that donors are aware of the challenge season and the campaign that you have provided, and as well providing donors a clear call to action. Early donations are donors can start donating to your organization December 1st. So you also want to make sure that you're communicating with donors that the challenge season is going to start on Giving Tuesday, December 1st, and that's when they can start donating to your organization and supporting your nonprofit. And of course, if you have any questions after this webinar or you run into any questions as you begin getting set up, please feel free to contact our support team support at mightycause.com. We're always here to help you in whatever capacity we can. So please reach out to us. We are on the East Coast, so just please be aware that our support hours are within Eastern standard time. So I'm going to jump into the technical walkthrough on your go to webinar control panel. There is a questions area. So if you run into any questions as we're going through this walkthrough, please type them into the questions area. Also at the very end, I'll be answering questions. So please let me know if you run into any. Okay. Great. So as you see here right now I'm in my organization profile. If you're set up as an administrator for an organization, you'll see a dashboard on your left hand side. This is where you're going to be able to edit and manage your organization. For returning organizations, you may notice that your dashboard has had a refresher. We've actually updated the dashboard since last year to make it much easier for organizations to navigate seamlessly through the platform and be able to access your information much more quickly. So that's one thing to know in regards to updates on the platform. Your organization profile is really the hub of your nonprofit presence on the on the platform. So many organizations will utilize this profile page as the primary page where they're going to solicit donations. They're going to utilize this URL to send out to donors to make a donation. One thing that I had mentioned in the slide deck was the ability to create peer to peer fundraisers and I just want to quickly show that to get you organizations the idea of what's possible on the platform and you can start thinking about if it's something that you want to decide to do. So one form of peer to peer fundraising is our event fundraising page. It's a peer to peer fundraising tool where you can have teams and individual participants participating in it. You can have people create their own fundraisers and be a part of a larger campaign. The other is a team fundraising page. Now a team fundraising page would be perfect for a peer to peer campaign where you're just having individual participants want to join a collective group and help fund raise them. And as you see through this leaderboard. Each individual participant will have their own fundraising page. Where they can solicit donations to their friends and family. Now, if you are not, if you're not interested in not planning on running a peer to peer campaign you can also utilize this individual fundraising page as a campaign for give back Tahoe if you want to raise money for this particular program or a particular mission. So this type of fundraising page would be a great, you know, tool to utilize to send to donors. So you have a couple of different fundraising page available to you depending on, you know, what your campaign strategy is and what you're planning. And again, we'll get to more detail about peer to peer fundraising in the fundraising strategies webinar but I just wanted to highlight this to give you an idea. And of course, as I mentioned the organization profile is the most popular option organizations are going to utilize for their campaign usually organizations will stick to this profile page as their primary donation hub for give back Tahoe or or they're giving event they're participating in. And on the slide deck I had mentioned that for returning organizations one of the most important things that you're going to want to do is reset your metric. As you see here I have $225 raised by two donors and I have a goal set. If you haven't used the platform since last year you may have the information you had last year so what you want to do is update that and I'll show you what you want to do. So, since I am logged in I, you'll see these blue pencil icons next to these areas. If you ever want to edit a particular area you can simply select that blue pencil icon so I'm going to go ahead and select this blue pencil icon. And then you'll see that this little pop up menu has opened up and allows me to change the staff that I have displayed on my organization profile. So I can choose I want to display dollars raised a number of donors. And then I can choose the date that it's going to calculate from I have July 1. Now for give back Tahoe donations are going to start counting from December 1. So I'm actually going to set my date to December 1. And I'm going to set it up. So once I have that added in. It's going to update your metrics automatically. And you'll see now that it's at $0 raised by zero donor so really easy and simple to go ahead and update. With the goal again I can just select the pencil icon, select edit goal, and then change my goal amount this year our goal be $10,000. So now that I've edited my goal and my metrics I can scroll down and also update the about section. This is the area that I was referring to in regards to telling your story. We've also updated the inline text editor. At the very top of your about section. So this year you actually have the opportunity of customizing your about section even more. You can highlight. You can change font color. So there's a lot more options available to you. A common thing that nonprofits will also do is create an infographic if you are working with a graphic designer or someone who you know is has an arts background on creating infographic through a photo editor etc. And actually import that as a photo on here. So you have a lot of different opportunities again to share your story about your organization and you know the impact of donations and what what they would have for your organization this year. And of course within your organization profile, you will always have the ability to share images so you want to make sure you're heading back here, updating the images you have here, and if possible connecting with your Instagram photos and Facebook photos. So that images are automatically updated for you as you're adding them to Instagram and Facebook. So within your organization profile that's really the key things that you want to consider updating from a profile front facing aspect. Now in regards to the back end, you're going to want to make sure that you are updating your checkout flow. So when a donor clicks donate. The options that they're seeing on the checkout form and as well the messaging they're receiving once they have finished checking out. So to update your checkout flow. On your left hand side dashboard, you want to make sure you're selecting fundraising. And then you are selecting checkout flow. The checkout flow area will have the suggested donations and descriptions if you have that enabled. And it'll also show you the data collection points that you're currently collecting post checkout the tab to the right of checkout steps allows you to update the thank you page, the page that pops up when a donor completes their donation and also provides you the ability to edit that thank you message. So these are things two things that you definitely want to make sure that you're going in and making sure that you're editing and updating it in case that you have any outdated language outdated images videos, etc. All that you've updated really the key things that are important for your checkout experience and your profile page. You'll want to also go make sure that you're aware of the different reports and things that you can utilize for your campaign from a strategic perspective. So the thing that I want to call out is our overview section now this is something that we actually recently just updated so it's really exciting for us over here. But the overview section will give you an idea of key metrics for your organization such as dollars raise number of unique donors profile visits, and I'll also make you aware of where you are during the registration process. So this is an area that you can quickly glance at take a look at and update your information you also have the ability to add additional metrics on here. So if you want to, you know, see your profile this as I said or review the number of volunteers you've received those are all things that you can add to your overview so you can keep track of that really easily. Really easily on a daily basis. The report section of your left hand side dashboard is where you're going to find all of the information on the donations that you received through the platform. So all donations is going to break that down. And it's going to show you the donor the amount, as well as the date of the donation. And of course, all of this can be exported into a CSV file by utilizing the download button at the very top. The top filters will also allow you to choose the type of donor information that you want to see perhaps you want to see all donations you received last year. And you can also choose to look at all of your recurring donate donations. One of the reports that are available to you that will be really useful for your organization is the retention report. Now this is a really great tool to utilize when thinking about the donors that you want to target for this challenge season. So the retention report will actually tell you the donors that you've retained or you haven't retained since last year. So you can choose the type of donor that you want to look at like I said you can look at all or you can look at let's say you want to see your not retained donors. Those are the donors that you want to target this year and have them make a donation again this year. And then you can choose the period of time that you're basing that off of right now we have this year to date that we haven't retained them. Now automatically I have a list of all the donors that we haven't retained that last that made their donation last year. So this is a really great email segment to simply download and put into your email marketing system or send an email to. So I highly recommend utilizing this retention report when thinking about your email marketing strategy and your email segments that you want to do for your challenge season. And of course your disbursement report is going to provide you information on the disbursements that you've received. If you have set up direct deposit that is funds will be disbursed twice a month on the 10th or the 25th. And if you've not set up direct deposit a check will be disbursed once a month around the 10th. Always keep track of disbursements within your disbursement report and you can review a breakdown of you know the totals etc. Within the settings section also for returning organizations you'll see that this has also been updated to make it much more convenient and easy for organizations to navigate. The general settings will break down email URL customization as well as your social sharing the description and image that shows up when someone shares a URL of your organization profile on Facebook or a Twitter organization information will show the display information that you would like to share organ to donors as well as the legal information on the back end in regards to your organization. Disbursement settings will provide information regards to your disbursement report. And then admins will allow you to manage all of your administrators so either add additional manager add additional administrators with the add new admin button or delete administrators by selecting the X. Next to the corresponding administrator you want to remove. Some other additional tools that you may be utilizing for your give back Tahoe campaign is our volunteers tool and our matching grants tool. So I'm going to go over that right now so the map of the volunteer section and the matching grants tool is available in the fundraising section of the left hand side dashboard. The matching grants tool provides you the ability to add a matching grant on to your organization profile or any fundraising campaign on the platform. The tool allows you to create a match beats off the current match setup that you're planning so if that's a one to one match or maybe a cumulative cumulative threshold match. We have a lot of different actually match types available. So the world is your oyster and records to setting up a match here. One thing to note the matching grant tool is a reporting and display tool. It's the responsibility of the organization to coordinate with the grantor and to decide how that match will be fulfilled. So please know only online donations will count towards prizes and the leaderboard any offline donations any donations may be a check of the anything else cash will not be included in leaderboard and prizes. So if you would like, if you are planning on having a match or you're lucky enough to receive a grant or on here. You will want to coordinate with them and hopefully get them to make their match online so can count towards leaderboard and prizes. Again, we'll talk more about these tools such as matching grants in the fundraising strategies and we'll get more into the nitty gritty of them. But that is a tool that is available to you on the platform to utilize. Of course, the volunteers opportunity tool allows you to add a volunteer opportunity to your organization profile. Many organizations are already utilizing this tool here. It's a great way to share with donors and share to supporters. So what volunteer opportunities you currently have open and have individuals sign up for them directly through your give back Tahoe profile. And so you would simply add your information here. And then that would be added to your profile for people to be able to sign up. So something that we've added this year is actually the ability to attach a waiver agreement. So that if that is something that you do require from volunteers, you are able to attach that so that participants or I'm sorry volunteers can provide you assigned waiver agreement. And then after they've signed up to volunteer. Once you've added a volunteer opportunity. It will show up on your organization profile as I noted, and I will show up at the very bottom of your page and as you see here. So what I'm going to show up is really easy. All the individual has to do is select the volunteer opportunity they're interested read more about it and then select register that individual has then will receive an email telling them that they've registered and as well if I go back to the volunteer I'll be able to pull up my volunteer opportunity and see the donor that I'm sorry the volunteer that signed up for that volunteer opportunity. As I mentioned, there are a lot of tools available here that can really help support your campaign and your organization on a year round basis. So I want to take a pause here and help answer any questions that anyone has. Okay, so there's a question about offline donations. And so you do have the ability to add offline donations on the platform. And that is really easy to do so you would simply go to your report section. And there is an offline donations area. At the very top there is an add offline donation tool. So as I mentioned as I was explaining with matching brands offline donations will not be included in leaderboards and prizes. So these donations can be calculated for your profile metric so this dollar raise at the on your profile. So you can keep track of in general the total amount you've received during their challenge or the end of your fundraising. However, you're not going to see those donations included on the leaderboard. So that's just one thing to know if you are planning on adding that. You're not going to see those dollars on your leaderboard so you may see a discrepancy in your profile metrics and what you're seeing on the leaderboard if you do plan on adding offline donations. And that's why also with matching grants as I noted, you want to, if possible, if your grantor can make their fulfillment online that's great because it can be counted towards the leaderboard and for prizes then. So this is a question in regards to utilizing what type of profile page or what type of campaign page. So, again, most organizations will utilize their profile page. If you are planning to do a peer to peer fundraising campaign, let's say you want to get your board of directors together, and you want each of them to participate and fundraise together. So a peer to peer fundraising page like this would be useful because it provides you the ability to set up a campaign like that. If you aren't planning on doing a campaign like that, you're planning on, you know, just soliciting donations you're not looking for necessarily participants or individuals to create fundraisers etc. So then your organization profile would be perfectly fine to utilize as your primary page. And again, we'll talk more about peer to peer fundraising and that fundraising strategies webinar. Okay, there's another question about EFT information. So to set up EFT or direct deposit that can be done in your disbursement settings. If you haven't done so already, you could simply go to disbursement settings and you'll see the area to add EFT. We always highly recommend setting up direct deposit because with check disbursements. They are only once a month as opposed to twice a month and there is a $5 service fee for check disbursements. So we always recommend direct deposit faster easier. If you don't have that $5 service fee. Are there any other questions that will be helpful to go over help answer for your challenge season.
