The Irene Dunn Fred MacMurray Show. Starring Irene Dunn as Susan and Fred MacMurray as George. Together in a gay new exciting comedy adventure, Bright Star. It's the Irene Dunn Fred MacMurray Show. Starring Irene Dunn as Susan Armstrong, owner and editor of the Hillsdale Morning Star, and Fred MacMurray as George Harvey, the paper's ace reporter. And in the town of Hillsdale this evening, all is exceptionally calm and quiet. Even George Harvey, and that is exceptional. Beautiful moon tonight, George. Something about a full moon, I always say. Are you listening to me at all? Oh, no, sure, Susan, of course. You haven't said a word for ten minutes. You keep looking around like you were on the trail of a criminal or something. What do you should say, then? Susan, this may come as a big surprise to you, but Hillsdale is in the midst of a serious crime wave. Crime wave? A serious crime wave, led by the mysterious and dangerous society burglar and his gang. And you're on the lookout to capture us?  Oh, George, just because there have been a few burglaries in town, and you build it up in the paper is the work of a society band that's no reason that you... What's the matter? Over there, in those bushes, I saw something move. You stay here, Susan. I'm going after him. Probably the society burglar. Don't be foolish, George. He may have a gun or a black jacket. I'll take him by surprise. George Harvey, come back here. Got nothing to worry about? All cooks are cowards. Everyone knows that. I just hope he knows it. Well, here goes. All right, give up. My men have got you surrounded. Give up before I...  Sammy, you! Sure. What are you doing here? Don't shoot, Mr. Harvey. I'll go quietly. Are you all right, George? Did he get... Sammy? Hi, Miss Armstrong. Well, I take it you're not the society burglar, Sammy. It was a perfectly natural mistake, Susan. You see, Miss Armstrong, Mr. Harvey, I was watching my girl's house. She lives right over there. It's pretty embarrassing. Is there any particular reason for watching her house, Ellie? I suspect you're being unfaithful. Surely? You're spying on it? Well, I trust her implicitly, until proven otherwise. And that's what I'm here for, to prove otherwise. Well, just don't stay up late, Sammy. Come on, George. Come on. Let's look for some more bandwidth. I resent your tone, Susan. Thanks for capturing me, Mr. Harvey. I was getting bored. No, anytime, Sammy. Anytime. The society burglar. Well, it could have been. Except that it was Sammy. That's the dangerous thing about this type of criminal, Susan. He might be anyone. He might be another city, a respected citizen, and only turning to crime at night. You know, he sounds interesting. Now, let's not start defending crime, Susan. But you said yourself it just might be someone I know. You don't know him, Susan. You're not shielding him. George, you've guessed my guilty secrets. This isn't a joking matter, Susan. If you have information, it's your duty to give it to the police. Even if I'm interested in it? Susan. No. I refuse to be drawn into a discussion of this nature. I know that you're not serious, Susan. You couldn't be. Well, of course not. Naturally, I knew it all along. Well, shall we consider the matter closed? Let's. Good. George. You don't think there's any danger of the police capturing him, do you? Susan! Morning, patient. Good morning, Miss Susan. I heard you and Mr. Harvey come home last night.  Oh, well, I'm afraid that was my fault, patient. I was leading George on. Pretending to have a secret romance with a society burglar. Well, that's one way of getting a mink coat. Oh, well, I'll apologize to George when I go down to paper this morning. Why, apologize. Let him suffer a while. A little mysterious competition never hurt any man. No, I don't think I could keep it up, patient. Just an idea, Miss Susan. Oh, he'll have forgotten all about it anyway by this morning. I guess you're right. When I walk into the office, he'll be his old complacent self grinning at me with that self-satisfied look of his. Sometimes he irritates me, so. He can be so smug. Patient, you're right. I'll do it. He deserves to suffer. Mr. Harvey. Yes, Sammy? Don't expect too much out of me today. Your spy activities kept you up late, I take it. Yeah, but it turned out very well.  No, she definitely was. I accused Robert, and she was so happy to find out I was jealous that we had a very tender reconciliation. Feminine psychology. Yes. Anytime you want me to check up on Miss Armstrong, I'll be glad to offer my services. Well, that's big of you, Sammy, but I hardly think there's any need. Miss Armstrong has no other romantic interest. She's a woman, isn't she? And where there's smoke, there's fire. Come to think of it, Sammy. Last night, we were talking about... Morning, George. How are you, Sammy? Hi, Miss Armstrong. And how are you this morning, Susan? Oh, I feel just fine, George. Good. Anything new on the society burglar this morning? Not a thing, Miss Armstrong. I guess he took the night off last night. Well, I don't know that I'd say that. I mean... You wouldn't say what, Susan? Oh, uh, nothing, George. Nothing. Nothing? Susan, you just can't toss off statements like that and then pass them off as nothing. I demand to know what you mean. I told you, George, nothing at all. Susan, you didn't... you didn't meet this raffles. Meet him? How could I? How should I know? But if you think for one minute I'm going to sit back and... You said yourself, George, I couldn't possibly be involved with such a character. But I... And you're never wrong, are you? Well, no, but... So there's nothing at all to worry about. I'll be in my office, Sammy. Sure, Miss Armstrong. What do you think, Sammy? Where there's smoke, there's fire, Mr. Harvey. Sammy, how much would you charge for just keeping an eye on Miss Armstrong? Oh, I couldn't do it myself. Mr. Harvey, she'd spot me. That's true, true. And either could my girlfriend Shirley. Miss Armstrong knows her. Yeah. But my girlfriend has a girlfriend and she could report back to Shirley. And Shirley would report back to me. Then I'd report to you. You know best, Sammy. But why can't your girlfriend's girlfriend report directly to you? Shirley wouldn't trust either one of us. It's a pretty grim situation, isn't it, Sammy? This battle of the sexes. It's a jungle, Mr. Harvey. But don't worry. I'll guide you safely through. Somehow I'd be much happier with Cebu. Susan, before we go another step, I demand to know. Know what, George? Don't play the innocent, Susan. I've been asking you all evening. Are you or are you not getting yourself involved with a crook? George, you mean you've turned to a life of crime? I'm not talking about myself and you know it. Some other crook? Yes. No. I demand to know, Susan, for your own good. Are you or are you not? Oh, look. We're right outside Young's jewelry store.  I'm not the slightest bit interested in rings, Susan. That's hardly a news item. I'll ignore that. Susan, I have the right to an answer and if you persist in sidestepping the question... Excuse me. I guess I wasn't looking where I was... Excuse me! What got into her? Don't try to change the subject, Susan. I wasn't, George. All I said was... For your own good, Susan, I demand an answer. Are you or are you not? No. What? I said no. Satisfied? Well, yes. I guess so. Good. And if I hear so much as another word Susan, the whole episode is closed. Completely. You have my word on it. Shirley? Imaging. Oh, Shirley, wait till you hear. I saw her. With him. Miss Armstrong.  Well, she was with him, Shirley. Imaging. Must have been. Dark, swarthy. Definitely the criminal type. Definitely. What were they doing? Arguing outside a jewelry store. She was pleading with him not to rob it. Maybe we shouldn't tell anybody. I agree. Dressed in evening clothes, but his face betrayed him. The criminal type. What were they doing? He was robbing a jewelry store. Well, I don't like to say this about Miss Armstrong, Sammy. But she must have been acting as his lookout. I don't believe it. We have to give her the benefit of every doubt, Sammy. Oh, promise me you won't tell a soul. I won't tell a soul, Shirley. Oh poor Mr. Harvey. When I tell him about it in the morning. Good morning, Sammy. I was the world's youngest cynic. You better sit down, Mr. Harvey. Why? Oh, by the way, Sammy, I believe I might have mentioned something about wanting to keep an eye on Miss Armstrong. You sure did, Mr. Harvey. Well, forget the whole thing, Sammy. It was just a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding? Yes, we straightened it all out last night. What time last night? Well, fairly early. As a matter of fact, I was home and in bed by 11.  Do what to me? But it's my duty. For the community. What's your duty? Mr. Harvey. Miss Armstrong was seen last night by my operatives. With him. Him? Who? The society burglar. Oh, but that's impossible. I was out with Miss Armstrong last night. Mr. Harvey, didn't you ever hear of a late date? Yeah. Sammy, I refuse to believe any of this. Don't even tell me about it. Where were they? He was seen emerging from a jewelry store. Jewelry store? Dressed in white tie and tails and dripping with stolen diamonds. What was Miss Armstrong doing? I can't tell you, Mr. Harvey. I don't believe it myself. Sammy, I'm sure this is all a mistake. And when Miss Armstrong comes in, she'll clear it up in a minute. Sure she will, Mr. Harvey. We've got to believe in her, Sammy. But on the other hand... Here comes Miss Armstrong, Mr. Harvey. I'll handle this, Sammy. Good morning, Susan. Hello, George. Sammy. Wonderful morning. Wonderful morning. I wonder what she meant by that. Would you say, George? Have a good night's rest, Susan? Well, as a matter of fact, I... I didn't sleep too well. Uh-huh. What's the uh-huh for? Susan, think this over very carefully before you answer. You didn't have a date last night. Well, you could call it a date, yes. Uh-huh. With whom? Uh-huh. You. That's not what I meant in you knowing. Well, I gotta go to the composing room. You stay right here, Sammy. You wouldn't care to tell me what this is all about, George. Susan, for your own good, I demand an answer. Were you or were you not? Oh, no. Not that again. Don't spare my feelings, Susan. This is bigger than both of us. I'll be much happier if you tell me the truth. You're sure? Positive. Last night, did you or did you not? Of course. I um... I had a late date with the society burglar and we held up a jewelry store. No. Yes, and now if you'll excuse me, I have to melt down some hot wedding rings. Are you happy, Mr. Harvey? Happy, Sammy? I don't think I'll ever be happy again. Ever. Now back to our stars Irene Dunn and Fred McMurray and the second act of our story. Irene, as Susan Armstrong, is currently in the throes of a misunderstanding with Fred as George Harvey. This, however, has happened before. Matter of fact, it happens every week. I just can't understand it, patients. Understand what, Mrs. His unreasoning jealousy on George's part. He's accusing me of all sorts of wild things. Um, who started it? I did. Uh-huh. But I've told him time after time that there wasn't any truth in it. I've told him I don't know any society burglar. He refuses to believe me. It's inexcusable. Well, give him another chance, Miss Susan. Go out with him tonight and get things all straightened out. We had them all straightened out last night. George is a difficult case. Well... Good. And if you have any trouble with the society burglar, just send for me. Send for you. I've got a date with patrolman Mullins. Well, it's nice to know you'll be safe, patients. Completely safe. There are times when I'd rather be out with a burglar. Give her another chance, Mr. Harvey. Never. Uh, you really think I should, Sammy? Any woman is entitled to one slip, Mr. Harvey. Anyway, I can't really believe it of Miss Armstrong. I can't either. But what about your operatives? Oh, they're only human. And on top of that, they're women. It's a bad combination. Well...   One more chance, huh? One more chance. I have complete confidence in Miss Armstrong. So have I, Sammy. So have I. But just in case, Mr. Harvey, I'll have my operatives on the job. Excellent idea, Sammy. Just in case. Like old times, huh, student? Like old times, George. Double feature after theater snack at Hamburger Heaven. You sure you wouldn't go for another hamburger? Oh, no, no. I'm completely filled, George. Well, the sky's the limit, you know. Nothing small-time about George Harvey. Our reconciliation, thankfully. Uh, Susan, you're completely sure that you've never... Oh, now, George, I couldn't go through that again. I've never met the society burglar. Want me to sign my name in blood? Well, catch up a little. It's handier. If we're going to start this all over again, George... I believe you, Susan. I believe you implicitly. Well, shall we go? All right. But if you can't get these insanely jealous ideas out of your head... Jealous? Me? Absurd. Then we'll consider the subject closed. Once and for all. And if I ever so much as... Oh, excuse me. I... Oh. Oh. We've seen her somewhere before. My girl, uh... Oh, I didn't notice. Anyway, Susan, if I ever open up this subject again, you can... Shoot, shoot. Yes, yes, you can shoot me. There are certain times, George, when it would almost be a pleasure. Shirley? Imaging. I saw them, Shirley, again. Oh, Imaging. You mean Miss Armstrong? An hour ago. Oh, Imaging. He wasn't holding up another choice. He was spending his ill-gotten gains on Miss Armstrong. Emerging from a swank eating place. And they seemed extremely... I use a charitable word, Shirley. Extremely friendly. Oh, and intrigue. Developing right before our very eyes. Uh, hello? Mr. Harvey, Sammy. I don't know what the time it is, but I was just nicely asleep. Why, Harvard, if couldn't use a phone, Mr. Harvey? Shed it. Why? A confidential report, Mr. Harvey. Miss Armstrong was seen again with him. Oh, that's ridiculous. I took Susan home early this evening and... Isn't the smartest enough? Fezzened under glass. Well, that's impossible.  Sammy, I'm going to get dressed and go over to Miss Armstrong's house right now. And if he's still there, I'll... Well, that's very possible. Oh, brother. Tired, she said. Going to bed early. Looks straight at me when she said it. Well, this is where I... Wait a minute. There's a car in front of the house. Two people in it. A man and a... And a woman. This is where we have a showdown once and for all. Come out of there, you. I'm not giving this woman up without a struggle. Why, Mr. Harvey, I didn't know you cared. Patience. And you know Officer Mullins, Mr. Harvey. Yes, indeed. I was just passing by. I wanted to say hello. Hello. Well, I'll see you again. I don't seem to be getting anywhere fast. You wanted to see me, Susan? Oh, sit down, George. George, you haven't been involved in any accidents lately, have you? Accidents? No. No severe bumps on the head. Patience told you. Don't you have a specialist checked you over, George? My doctor would be glad to recommend someone. No, thank you. But I'm really worried about you. It seems to me, Susan, that some people had better do some worrying about themselves. Meaning what? Nothing. Nothing at all. But from now on, Susan, have a care. That's all. You are being watched. Anyone I know. In order to straighten things out, I'm taking over the job myself. To straighten things out? George, are you sure you haven't been involved lately? Duke, Duke, how long are we going to wait for that guy to go away? I figure he's waiting for the lights to go out so he can knock over the house himself, Frankie. What's a few lights in the back of the house? How long is he going to wait? He's been watching a place like a great dame for an hour now. You know, our field is getting overcrowded. Let's go over and talk a deal with him. That's for me. Maybe we can flip for who breaks into the place. Pardon me, friend. Who are you? Fellow practitioners. My partner and I wish to... Those tools you're carrying. You're crooks. What did you think we were? Rotarians? Now my partner and I saw you watching the house here. Well and good. Everybody's got to make a living, but we... You were going into that house? Duke, a mind like a steel trap. Honest face, too. But friend... Which one of you is the society burglar? You know my word? I know your work all right. I know it a little too well. I don't get it. You get it all right. But I must say I thought she had better taste. You understand anything he's saying, Frankie? That's crackpots like this that give our profession a bad name. Ask him a question, Duke. Friend, let's settle it. Who's going in the house? You or us? We'll settle it all right. We're both going in. All of us? Maybe he thinks this is a square dance. Well, what do we got to lose? We'll all go in. Come on. Hey, where you going? In the front door. Where do you think? Duke. All these years we've been going in the windows. Well, after you, friend. Susan! What's the matter? You said you wanted to settle it, didn't you? Here, I'll turn the lights on. Friend, how long have you been in this business? Isn't it a little late for a call to... Oh, who are your friends, George? Don't play innocent with me, Susan. You know perfectly well who this is. Who is it? Oh, look at us, lady. We just came here on business. So you're going to try to brazen it out, are you? You never saw this man before, Susan. The society burglar. Never. A likely story. It sounds very likely to me. George, don't you think you owe me an explanation? Breaking in with these men this hour of the night? I'm waiting for an explanation from you. Would somebody mind explaining it to me? You're denying, Susan, that you've been seen all over town with this man? I most certainly do. Ah, wait a minute. It's a triangle, Frankie. There, he looks more like a square to me. George here thinks I've been running around with the lady. Right, George? Well, yes. Your wife isn't going to like this, Duke. Please, Frankie. When have I been running around with the lady, George? Every night, according to what I hear. Really, George?  Please, lady. Frankie, tell George what I do nights. He works nights. You see, I work nights. You weren't at a nightclub with Miss Armstrong last night? I haven't been to a nightclub in years. Can't afford it. They're crooked. I hope you two gentlemen will make allowances for Mr. Harvey. He's just slightly eccentric. But he means well. Don't you, George? Susan. All straightened out now, George? Susan, I... It's all right, George. All right, George. We've been through worse than this, I think. Come on, Frankie. Susan, I... I don't know how I should have been foolish enough to... Are we leaving, Duke? Sure. They'll get together all right. But what about what we came for? What we came for? Oh. Sure, sure. Nah. So we take a loss. Every once in a while, Frankie, you gotta do something for humanity. Our stars Irene Dunn and Fred McMurray will be back in just a moment. Say, Susan. Yes, George? I just got a call from police headquarters. They picked up Duke and Frankie. No. My secret passion in jail. I went over that with Sammy. We finally figured out the mysterious handsome stranger you were seen with was me. Perfectly natural mistake, of course. I'm not laughing, George. Oh. Well, this whole thing has certainly been a good lesson to me, Susan. It really has. This I doubt. No, no, no. It has. From now on, no more listening to Sammy, no more suspicions, no more jealousy. You mean that, George? I certainly do. You mean I can go out with anyone I like without making you jealous? Well... Because Elwood Bray's been calling me for weeks. Elwood Bray? What do you mean by that? Well, of course, if you must. I guess I... Don't change, George. It's too much of a strain. And besides, I'm so used to you the way you are. You are. Well, anyway, I tried. Oh. Irene Dunn and Fred McMurray will be back next week in another exciting comedy adventure in the gay new series Bright Star. This is Wendell Niles inviting you to join us then.


Hello everybody welcome back to another AI video and this one going to show you how to separate your voice from music. If you've made a video and your voice and your music are all mixed in on one track or maybe you've got some gameplay video and you've got your voice and the gameplay volume is too loud. I'm going to show you how to separate them using AI. This is amazing. Basically we're separating voice from music or voice from background sound. Okay here we go. So the first step go to vocalremover.org. This is free tool. This is free AI tool. I want to make sure that that's clear. You don't have to pay for this. The second step I want to show you the video that I've got here. I'm going to click on finder and then I'm just going to click on this one called annoying to show you that it's all one video and one audio. Here we go. So you can clearly see that this is all baked in together but what I want to do is I want to separate the background music from the voice. How do I do it? I grab the video, drag and drop it. You don't even have to hit the browse button. You just have to drag and drop it here and when you do that it's going to process and it goes very, very quickly the processing part and then once it does that what's next is it's going to do something called karaoke where it basically it just basically breaks it into multiple tracks. One track to multiple tracks. Here we go. So we've got our 100% done. Now watch this. It's got the music set to the loud and the vocal off. All right. Fair enough. Let's listen to the vocals and get rid of the music. It's done a pretty darn good job. Not perfect but very, very good. But here's where it gets even better.  I can click on save but when I do that I can save the music. I can save the vocal track or I can save the music and the vocal combined. So I basically get both or all of these options. So if I click on save music there I've got the music track. Let's hit this. It's just the music. No vocal and if I click save on the vocal, same thing happens. I would just get the vocal track. This is an incredible free AI tool. Please use it. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching.


So, you too, team keep it clean, we're going on to Engraven here with another video, and in this video we're here to talk about the game that we're watching between the Ravens and the Steelers, and we need to get straight into it, because I know we don't have much time and time when we get, when we start getting into these things, it goes by like that. Anyway, just to start us off, where do we start? We can start on offense. On offense, Flacco, Flacco missed a wide open, he, the offense is leaving points on the board. They're leaving points on the board. The first one was with Flacco, they brought Lamar Jackson.  Well, it wasn't even an end around. They brought him in motion. I couldn't think of the word. They brought him in motion, crossed the field, Lamar Jackson went out at wide receiver, would have walked into the end zone untouched. Nobody would have even, nobody was even looking his way for the first time ever, because you usually expect people to be following Lamar Jackson when he's on, nobody even looked his way. Lamar Jackson was wide open, Flacco hikes the ball, vision is this way, doesn't look to the right, doesn't even really look to the left, just focused on one wide receiver. Well, I think it was the tight end, but just focused on one person. That was it. Didn't, didn't look anywhere else. That was it. Didn't look anywhere else. That was it. And Lamar Jackson, wide, seven points right there. We got settled for three. So then the next opportunity, in the red zone, Flacco, it wasn't the best pass, but it wasn't the worst. So this, the second one, I don't put that on Flacco. The second one, I don't, I don't put that on Flacco, but the, the, the touchdown pass to Crabtree, it was a little short, but that, it was bad. It was bad. Hey, appreciate you, Charles man. Thank you. The, the drop Crabtree dropped it. He dropped it. He dropped it. He, he dropped it. He dropped it. Um, now Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor say, you know what, hey, Michael Orr, he was, he braven left it for a while, but you know what, let's bring up some old memories of Michael Orr. Let's bring up some old memories of Michael Orr. Um, so you know what, I'm, I'm gonna do a twofer. And I'm, what a twofers is a two for one, two for one, where I get two penalties back to back on one drive. How about that? Ravens fans. How y'all like me now? So first Eleanor getting ready. They call a hike. But before they call a hike, Eleanor, he's already jumping. He's already trying to block. Who's he trying to block? Who's he trying to block? No, the play wasn't being run yet. False start. So then, um, he said, no, actually it was the, was it the holding first or was it the false start? Either way, the holding got called because he could block, but the pre, um, I couldn't even be mad at him for that holding. I'm glad he didn't hold, I'm glad he held him because had he not held him, then flack, that was, I was telling, um, I was telling my father-in-law cause he's, he's here with us. He's watching the game with us. We, we flipping back and forth through the bears and the Ravens games. Um, I was telling him, I said, man, I said, that's a good thing that he held him. If he wouldn't have held him, then that would have been a sack. That would have been a sack. I mean, no, no, no. It would have been a, it would have been a force fumble sack. So a sack strip. So thank you, Eleanor, for holding Bud Dupree because that would have been it. That would have been it. Um, he said, Joe Flacco, what's your Twitter to remind me?  Um, oh, a lot of y'all saying bench Flacco, man. Flacco he, uh, wow, it's, it's been a, it's been a game, man. Um, but yeah, that, that missed, that missed touchdown was bad. Hasn't been his worst half ever though. Uh, but yeah, that, that missed touchdown. That was, that was bad. That was, you can't do that. You in a game like this, everything on the line, you cannot do that. You can't do that. Um, so then the, uh, what happened? Oh, then the Lamar Jackson stuff, one of the plays worked early. Then Alex Collins play worked early. Um, but it's, it's when, when they, when they did the obvious, it didn't work the Lamar stuff. Um, yeah, everyone on earth except Flacco saw Lamar open. Yeah, it was bad. It was bad, but when, when they've gotten tricky or not even tricky, when they've been a little more creative with the Lamar stuff hasn't, but when they do the obvious stuff, Lamar's in shotgun, hike the ball. Don't even motion anybody. They didn't even motion anybody. Uh, don't even face anybody. See, though it can be kind of frustrating when they do the plays like that, cause it'll be so obvious. Cause he'll, he'll hike the ball. Montgomery is an active today.    They won't have none of that. Um, so he, he hikes the ball and then just takes off. They stopped that every time they stopped that every time. Um, so they, um, it is what it is.  Defense has given me a heart attack, man. They haven't been so close. They've been so close to make it like right before halftime, man. The whole Tavon Young, the, the forceful on the fans, McDonald things. I knew that that was, that was easier overturn. That was an easy overturn. I didn't even get hyped up when, when they ran it, they ran it back into the end zone. I didn't even get hyped up off of that. Cause it wasn't up. What's the money get up off of that? We knew that, um, we knew that wasn't happening. Oh yeah. Jimmy Smith is definitely getting to Jimmy Smith is just it's, it's been two and a half game straight, two and a half game. Straight. Oh, CJ Moseley. There was CJ Moseley, lucky that Juju Smith shoes to drop that one where he on CJ Moseley, he ain't, you know, he ain't going to be covering no, he, I mean, he, he ain't going to be covering no wide receiver. He can't cover tight ends. Why we don't expect him to cover wide receiver. We don't expect that. Um, but he, he's, he's lucky. Well, we're lucky as a team that Juju Smith shoes to drop that one. He dropped that one. Um, Moseley, Moseley price tag. He's going down, down, down, down. Now, yes. Well, CJ, did he drop a pick? I can't, I can't even say he dropped the pick. He didn't drop a pick. It was like what I would consider a drop pick if the ball, if, if it was an easily catchable ball and it hit him in the chest and he dropped it or hit him in the hands that he dropped it. But the, the pick that I just considered that he just didn't make the pick. I don't, I don't consider that he dropped it because he was far away. He tried to make a play on it. Maybe Kenny Young could have made that play. Hey, he got more exposed than Mr. CJ Moseley, but Moseley was like, it was right there. So I, I don't put that on CJ Moseley as a, um, oh, he should have got one in the first quarter. What play in the first quarter? Cause I don't remember. I don't, yeah, I don't remember which play it was. Um, Flacco getting thrown lessons from the, silly Jordan said Flacco getting thrown lessons from Lamar Jackson. Um, we got no pay, we, yeah, we sure don't got no pass rush. We sure don't.  He just might. Now, you know what, but think about this too, for as bad as this first half has been, as many missed opportunities as we had in the first half that we didn't take advantage of, it's only an eight point game. It's only eight point game. So while, while, while the defense has not had their best game, they certainly haven't had their worst. So that's something to be proud of and grateful for, um, going into the second half. It's an eight point game. Yes, still, let's get the ball. Um, but the defense, they, can we say they've been stopping them?  He's a problem and he needs to, they need to, they had Kenny Young on him, uh, and a lot of the pass in place. There was one where, um, now see, had it been CJ Mosey on James Connor, it would have been a touchdown. Remember when Kenny Young was on, uh, James Connor? Uh, James Connor was to the left of Rothesberger. James Connor ran out and then he sort of stopped and Kenny Young ran out with him too. And he stopped and he waited for him. So then, um, then Connor, he ran up, then cut him. Kenny Young was beat. Kenny Young was beat, but, uh, Kenny Young was able to close in and make the tackle and made the stop. Now had that been CJ Mosey, refs would have been going like this, refs would have been going like this. Um, but it is what it is. The touchdown score, Kenny Young was on him. Hey, yeah, which one, which one, which one, the, uh, the touchdown pass where Rothesberger threw it to the flats, that one. Yeah, yeah, he did get bailed out Christian. We know the one, the one with Rothesberger threw it to the flats was Kenny Young on him on that one. Um, I don't know the first one. Cause he, I'm trying to think he got one rushing in one pad, one receiving, right? You know, I don't even, I remember the touchdown that Rothesberger threw to him in the flats. I don't even remember the second one. Oh, I don't remember the other one. I don't know. I don't even remember right now, man. Um, this game, it's, it's weird, man, because I've been trying not to get too emotionally attached to it. Um, but it's, it's, it's working, but it's not working. Like I'm not, I'm not all the way emotionally involved in this game. Like I usually am, especially for Ravens and Steelers, but still, I mean, I'm trying to get these guys, man. I'm trying. I'm trying. Yeah. We all miss Ryan Jensen. We all, we all miss him. Um, but yeah, the offense, they do got to come out better. Uh, the running game where it was Gus Edwards, Gus Edwards, ever since the fumble. Um, has he touched the ball since the fumble? I don't know. Him and Lamar Jackson on that fumble, they had a bad miscommunication. I don't know if Lamar was trying to keep it or Gus was trying to keep it or Gus just dropped it or Lamar messed it up. Both of them, they, they just, that bad. He said CJ Mosey about to be on a clearance rep. Get out of here, man. Uh, if Flacco struggles third quarter, it's Lamar time. I don't think they will pull the trigger me again. Well, even third quarter, I don't think they will do that. I can see them doing that. Oh, Lamar pulled it back. Okay. So that's all Lamar them. I don't know why I tell myself we're good and then get my hopes up. Average job. I mean, we, we hoping they can be better. We, it's like they got the roster for it. They got the roster for it, but they just, it's a matter of execution. So where does that fall on? Is it on the players? Is it on the coaches calling the plays? It's they, cause they got the roster for it. They got the roster. They got it. CJ, oh, CJ, CJ is the clearance rep. The Ravens do not need a better offensive coordinator. They need an offensive coordinator. Oh, he said Marty ain't no offensive coordinator then. What's wrong with Jimmy Smith? Um, we trying to fight, find what's right with Jimmy Smith right now and apparently it's nothing. Apparently it's nothing. Um, he's been, he's been getting beat. Malin Humphrey gave him a couple of catches too, but Oh, Jimmy Smith on the fourth down play, he got beat on some other plays he got. And it's like, why would, what Jimmy Smith is this? This ain't, this ain't the Jimmy Smith we knew before. My boy, uh, my boy Raven C, uh, it's in y'all to see the same questions from subscribers later on. Um, probably tomorrow or Tuesday. But my boy Raven C asked, uh, he said, Oh man, maybe, maybe cause Jimmy Smith ain't juicing no more.  Maybe Jimmy Smith just needs his juice to get back on point. I said, Hey, I don't know, man, I can't call it. I can't call it. I can't call it. Game ain't start for me yet. My, my TV is delayed a little bit, probably about one and a half, two plays is delayed. So that's why I don't be on Twitter too much during the game, cause I don't want nothing to be ruined. Um, but anyway, I see everybody going back to the game, which is all good. So I love y'all, appreciate y'all. I will see you guys after the game. Hopefully we got much better news and a much better outcome. Love y'all, appreciate y'all. See y'all in about an hour or whatever.


Bow! What's up everybody? Once again is Bram and Sean and today I want to go over the simple yet brilliant marketing launch for her. Now I don't like the way it's no time, so number one is extremely obvious that first they created a brand and project. The brand was already in place because it was so well thought out. That's not the type of brand that you create over time after release. They had to create mystery, understand what their aesthetics and visuals would be generally speaking, which you can see right here or eventually when I put a picture up on the editing. To get an understanding of all the specifics of why this works mystery wise, you can watch one of my videos on visual tips for mystery. I'll put that link somewhere. Now you get this great combination where you're seeing this person, you're seeing these visuals and they create a curiosity in you, right? Who is her? What's going on? I can't see this person. I don't know this person. I'm going to at least click an old snap. This music's amazing and now you're in it. Not to mention, number two, a listen loop is how I describe the process of when somebody comes to your music for the first time and now they're in an environment where they are offered and suggested more and more of your music. So they're looped in, right? They're coming from the outside, but now they're in this circle where they hear more of your music, more of your music, more of your music. They see more of your brand because you are leading them through an experience. And this is something she did or her did by using YouTube and a strategy of just a simple playlist. And I talk about that strategy. I'll provide a link if you guys want to use it yourself, but it's powerful because now I get this front side brand, right? There's the mystery. Now I click, I get the music. Oh snap, this song is dope. And now I see music on the side on YouTube and this, it must be the same project and who is this person? Oh my gosh, they're a mystery. The psychologically it's putting me through these questions. I see something that might answer it again. So I'll click on it for an answer, but then it only breeds more questions. And that's how creating mystery from the beginning can be a very powerful weapon to create virality and accelerate your growth as far as your brand in the market. But first, which is technically number three, you have to create awareness. So you have this brand, you have this music, and you put these little viral loops in place for people to experience your music, but now you have to get people to actually know that it exists. What did they do? Marketing and it was paid marketing. I like it was paid marketing because I was seeing get a lot of places I saw on Instagram, I saw it on YouTube and I knew other people who saw it. And that let me know from the beginning. This artist probably had some money. There was a dough boy on the street or a dough girl, or she had a team behind her. This case, it was RCA. As a record label, the specific marketing team, hey, it might have been independent, who knows. But the point is they did real advertisements on YouTube, Instagram, probably on SoundCloud too, but I don't know for sure. I didn't see it there. And why their advertisement got such a great return is because when you have this mystery that you're advertising and you push these people into these loops, now you get a high return versus some people who just say, I'm going to advertise without actually creating something specific that works for an advertisement. But I'll get into that in another conversation. Even though her budget was probably way bigger than something you might have at this time, Instagram is very cost effective, Facebook is very cost effective, and you can do that on a smaller scale to establish an audience and get you to let's just say the next level up, you don't have to blow up. But I did experience her when she was like less than 1000 followers on YouTube and watch that grow extremely quickly from the advertising and that plan of action that her use is applicable to so many artists, even if you don't have mystery and that's not a part of your brand, don't force it. But the idea of creating something unique for people to experience on the front end and then setting those viral loops, which everybody can do no matter what type of music you have, and then just getting attention however you need to can be done. That's all folks. Sure, this thing if you thought it was helpful and you know somebody else, especially who can benefit from it as well, other than that, you know what to do. Hit that subscribe.


Hi everyone, welcome to the Give Local NRV webinar one, all about getting started. We are going to get started with the webinar in just a few minutes, but if everyone could check out the chat module on the go-to webinar little icon that you have on your screen and let me know that you can hear me, that would be awesome. Maybe if you wanna let me know your pet's name or something that you love about the New River Valley region, that would be great. Thanks everyone who chimed in. We're just gonna wait one more minute as people are still joining. So we'll get started here shortly. Okay, welcome to the Give Local NRV training webinar. My name is Dawn and I'm gonna be leading you all through today's presentation. Before we get started, I have a few housekeeping items that I wanna note. This webinar is going to be recorded. It'll be posted in the toolkit on the Give Local NRV site under the resources tab. And then you can use the go-to webinar chat module to send across any questions that you have during the presentation and we'll get through those as many as we can after the webinar in the Q&A session. And if we don't get to any or we have too many to get to during the Q&A, then I'll make sure that I respond to each one of you after the webinar's over. I do have Claire Gilbert on the webinar with me from the Community Foundation of the New River Valley. Claire is the Marketing Coordinator over there and her and her team are working really hard on all the things Give Local NRV. So I just wanna introduce her really quick and let her say a few words to welcome everyone. Hi, Claire. Hey everybody, thank you so much for joining us. We are really excited to have you all this morning. We're really excited about the transition to the Mighty Cos platform and getting to share more about the platform this morning and how to get started with it. This is the first of multiple trainings that we're going to be doing over the course of Give Local NRV. And it's one of two that we're going to be doing in partnership with Mighty Cos. So I'm sure Dawn is gonna be talking more about that. And as we previewed at the launch meeting, we're looking forward to offering many reasons to use the platform year round. So we're really happy to have so many of you joining us in advance of Giving Tuesday, which is on December 3rd. And that's another great opportunity to leverage this existing National Giving Day for your non-profits. So great to have everybody getting started now. I'm gonna hand things over to Dawn because I know she has a lot that she wants to cover now but the Community Foundation staff are here and listening as well. And we'll be working with Dawn to answer any questions that may come up there specific to the foundation. So thank you so much, Dawn, and I will get it back to you. Yep, thanks, Claire. Okay, so let me go to the agenda. Okay, so here's a look at today's agenda. We're gonna go over some of the basics for the Giving Day. We're gonna walk through the links and some of the more specifics involved. And then we're gonna jump into getting started by registering and navigating your non-profit page on the platform. And then after that, we're gonna touch base really quickly on how you can utilize your, give local NRB site for Giving Tuesday. And then we'll jump into the Q and A session if we have time. So again, if you have a question while I'm presenting, feel free to type it into the chat module for your go-to webinar panel and we'll get to it at the end. And then if I do see a running theme with questions, then I'll be happy to add that specific item to the FAQ on the give local NRB site. That way everyone has access to it. Okay, so give local NRB basics. Give local NRB is a 24 hour long event. It's going to take place on June 24th of 2020. The Community Foundation of the New River Valley is giving you all early access to the site once you register so you can utilize it for Giving Tuesday, which like Claire mentioned is coming up quick on Tuesday, December 3rd, less than a month away, crazy. So early giving for the giving day on June 24th starts on June 1st. So both of these are great dates for you to mark on your calendars. That way you know when early giving start, when the actual giving day is, we'll obviously be communicating with everyone closer to, but for now, mark those dates on your calendar. That way you know ahead of time. And then as soon as the prize money will be announced, then you guys can all start planning for that as well. So Claire will have more information about that probably next year. So how does a giving day work? A giving day is a unique campaign presented by a host in this case, the Community Foundation of the New River Valley. It allows organizations to compete with other nonprofits to win prize money. So giving days are an exciting way for you all to encourage and engage your sponsors, community partners, peer-to-peer fundraisers, and more to spread the word about your organization and your mission and to raise funds for your cause. The limited timeframe of a giving day creates a sense of urgency that donors tend to respond to and the prizes that are typically available give you fresh messaging opportunities throughout the day. So to participate and give local NRV, you'll want to register your organization if you haven't already done so. Once you've registered, you can customize your profile on Mighty Cause and start planning for your campaign. You can invite people involved with your organization to participate as peer-to-peer fundraisers. And once early giving has started on June 1st, you can start promoting your campaign. And of course, you'll really want to push the donation ask on the actual giving day, which is June 24th. You'll obviously need to raise money to win some awesome prizes and make the most out of the opportunity. Now I keep talking about early giving, but I just want to clarify that you can accept donations on your page as soon as you register and sign up. But when I say early giving, I'm specifically talking about early giving that counts toward the giving day. So you can raise funds throughout the year, like Claire mentioned, on the Mighty Cause profile page associated with Give Local NRV. And you'll still have all the tools and access. It's just funds raised from June 1st through the giving day are what will count towards the actual giving day. So just want to make sure I clarify that. So this is the home page for Give Local NRV this year. You'll see the URL here on the left. I would definitely bookmark it, write it down, whatever you need to do to remember it. Once the giving day starts, this is where you'll see any leaderboards that will indicate what place you're in, as well as any additional prizes that are going on. So you'll want to make sure to bookmark it now so you have it when you need it. And this home page for the site has all the tools you'll need as well. You'll see the register button is right there at the top. If you haven't registered yet, this is where you can go to do so. The giving day home page also has these tabs that you can see, home, donate, rules, et cetera. Those include all of the resources that you'll need like the FAQ and the toolkit. And then this is also where the information about prizes will be once they're announced. So first things first, I keep mentioning it. If you haven't already done so, you're going to want to make sure you're registered. If you have any questions at all pertaining to registration, you can email support at mightycause.com. To register, you'll first need to log in or sign up and claim your organization on Mighty Cause if this is your first time visiting the site. And then once you've done that, it'll unlock the registration questions and you can submit the form. And then once you register, you'll receive a confirmation message and approval will typically happen within about 24 to 48 hours. And then after you claim your organization, you'll also be able to add other administrators to your account on Mighty Cause. So multiple people can access your organization site and help run your campaign.  This list is located on the home screen on your nonprofit profile right under your metrics. So you'll see the image there. It's clicking the home. And then it's right underneath there on your metrics. There's five basic items to complete. You need to add a background image to your page or use one from our gallery of stock background images. You'll need to upload your logo, which will represent you throughout and give local NRV. You'll wanna add a story, also call the description. That will tell visitors to your profile about what your organization does and you'll wanna build a thank you page to thank donors after their transaction is complete and set up electronic fund transfers so you can get your disbursements through direct deposit. If you click the links in your to-do list, you'll be taken right to the spots on your organization's account where you can complete each task. So it's really easy for you guys to complete the list. And this isn't the list, completing the list isn't required, but it's a great place to help you get started on what should I do first? Completing the to-do list is a great way to get started on that. And we found that like profiles that are filled out more tend to get more engaged supporters. So before you get into the weeds, planning your campaign, make sure you take the time to complete this list. And if you do need help or you're unsure how to complete any of the items, then let us know. You can email support at mightycause.com. We also have a support library where we have walkthroughs and videos that can help you out as well. So we also recommend taking some time to get to know your dashboard. Your dashboard, which we like to call your Mighty Cause Manager is the admin bar that appears on the left side of your screen when you're logged in and on your nonprofit's profile. So you'll see it's the black section that opens up when you hover over it. There you go, right there. So you'll automatically land on your welcome screen or home screen, which again, is where you'll find your to-do list. And then under your profile, which is that second icon down, you can edit your page in the page editor. You can adjust your page settings. That this is where you can set your goal for the event and enable progress bar on your page. And then you can also go to the live view to see how your page will look to visitors without logging out of your account. And then below that on your dashboard is the report section icon, which is your one-stop shop for everything related to donation management. You're able to preview and export your donation report and can view and manage your disbursements. And then part of your to-do list is setting up EFT, which you can do under the reports in the disbursement section. And then just so everyone knows, signing up for electronic fund transfer allows you to receive your funds faster. Funds can also be dispersed by check, but there is a $5 admin fee for check disbursements. So I definitely recommend signing up for the EFT if you want or are able. And then if you have any questions about fund disbursements, you can email support at mightycause.com. And we'll be happy to help you. Let's see, next thing on your Mighty Cause Manager is the fundraising section. This is where your donor experience section lives. We're gonna talk about that in a few slides as well as matching grants, which we're also gonna go into in more detail later on. And then you can manage your nonprofit settings like URL customization and admin control from your settings page, which is that second to last icon of settings, the gear. So you can do all that from there on your dashboard. So customizing your profile.  So you'll wanna make sure it looks good and it represents you as an organization well. Just so you know, your profile link is the link you'll share with supporters to ask them to donate to your page during give local NRB or giving Tuesday. So to share your page, just copy and paste the URL which you can find on your browser where you go to type in www. That's where you can find your URL. So just share it, copy and paste that into an email or a social post or wherever you're advertising the campaign. So as you're going through your to-do list, you'll wanna customize your profile to match your brand for your organization. There's two ways to start customizing your profile. You can click profile in your Mighty Cause Manager and choose page editor from the sub menu. This will open up everything you're able to edit on the page.  The other way to customize, as you can see from the visual here, is to click profile and use the little pencil icons that appear on the page to indicate a section can be edited. Just click the little pencil and that section will open up for editing. So editing your theme, the first thing you wanna do when editing your profile is upload your organization's logo. You can use that pencil icon to open up that section for editing. Logos need to have a one-to-one aspect ratio to fit. The logos on Mighty Cause are the same aspect ratio as many social media sites. So if you use your logo as part of your Facebook or Twitter profiles, you can use the same logo here as well. You'll wanna make sure your logo doesn't clash with your background image. And then speaking of background image, that's what you'll wanna upload next. You can see the background image on the example page here is of two people sitting on a couch. Your background image will look best if it's mostly text-free and a strong image that's representative of your nonprofit. Landscape-oriented images will work best. And then if you're not sure what picture you wanna use or you don't really have any good pictures, we also offer a generic gallery of images to choose from if you wanna use those instead. And then from here on the edit theme, you can also change your theme color to match your organization's branding. The theme color allows you to pick a consistent color that shows throughout the experience your organization provides supporters on your page. It's really easy to set. Just click the button that says edit theme, and it'll open up that section for editing. And you can, from this edit theme icon that you see here on the visual, you can apply an overlay to your background image. You can pick a color from the color box provided or you can use a hex code to get the exact color you want for your theme. And then as you can see here, once you change the color, it changes that donate button color, it changes the progress bar color, and then that'll carry through everything that's associated with your organization once you set that theme. So telling your story. The about section of your page is your chance to explain what your nonprofit is all about. The text editor is right in the section. So all you have to do is just click into the section and start writing. You can add media to your story to just things up, utilize the inline text editor to add links. You can upload images. You can link out to videos from YouTube and Vimeo. They'll get embedded in your story. So people visiting your profile can just click on them right from within that section. They don't have to go anywhere. It doesn't bring them out to anything. They'll be able to view it right on your page. You can also add bulleted or numbered lists. And then this about section is the spot where you can really go in depth about your work and make that strong appeal to donors. Tell them why your organization needs their support and show the impact of your work. And then one really cool piece about this section is the ability to add custom tabs. If you have extra info that you want to share that doesn't necessarily make sense to put in your story, you can create a custom tab to add that information to your nonprofit page while keeping everything organized and really easy to find. You can add anything you'd like to your custom tab. Information about upcoming events, frequently asked questions, information about your staff, acknowledgements, resources, et cetera. You can create up to three custom tabs that you can label however you'd like and fill with whatever content you want to make your profile page more awesome. So the media gallery on your organization's profile is where you'll be able to add any additional images you have of your organization. It's a really great way to visually show donors what your organization does and where funds are going. You can also connect your organization's Instagram account which imports the pictures that you already have there. Connecting your Facebook or Instagram accounts not only provides additional content but it also lets people coming to your page know that you have those social accounts so they can easily follow or like you. You can optimize your social share settings within the settings section on your Mighty Cause Manager. Basically what that means is you can standardize the social template whenever somebody shares your campaign. You can set the standard logo, you can set the standard text and even hashtags that populate whenever a supporter spreads a word about your organization. So the last submenu item within your profile section is the page settings. This is where you can go to update the metrics that show on your page publicly. Things like showcasing dollars raised, a progress bar if you've inputted a goal and a donor account. You can also update the calculation period. So if you have fund raised on Mighty Cause before this section allows you to sort of reset your page. So donations from a certain date are the only ones that will show on your organization profile page. The page settings section is also where you'll find code for a widget that you can put on your website if you didn't want donors moving away from your site to donate. You'll definitely wanna spend some time customizing this profile using everything we just talked about because the more work you put into it, chances are the better you'll do during Give Local NRV. Basically, you can have the best campaign strategy in the world, but when your profile, the page where people are actually making donations looks like you haven't shown it any love, then you may end up losing donors. So if you're excited about it, then chances are they'll be excited about it. So the next section on your Mighty Cause manager is reports. You can access reports on donations and disbursements in this report section of your Mighty Cause manager. Clicking on that section will give you a submenu where you can choose from your all donations report. You can pick a report on recurring donations. Any recurring donations your organization has. And then it also gives you the option to choose a donor retention report, which will be really handy for next year. You can also find disbursements and offline donations reports here as well. Your donation report is available to you in real time and includes information like the donor name, email, any designations or dedication options you have, the gross and net amount of their donation, as well as fees associated with their donation. You'll also know what page they donated to as well as lots of other information. Within the donor experience section, which we'll go into detail about later on, you can set what information you collect during the checkout process to show in your donation report. For example, if you needed to collect phone numbers or addresses from phone numbers, you can do so within the donor experience section. So it shows on your donation report. The disbursements section of your report center allows you to see your batch disbursement history. You can click on a disbursement listing to open up more information about that disbursement, like which donations were included in that report as well as a summary of the total amount, total associated fees and net amount included in that disbursement. All donations on the site are processed by the Mighty Cost Foundation, which is a donor advice fund. Your organization can sign up for electronic fund transfer, which is the recommended method since it allows fund disbursement twice monthly. As I mentioned before, we can also send disbursements via check. Check disbursements though get sent out just once a month and there is that $5 administrative fee. So I highly recommend signing up for electronic fund transfer since it's free and you get your money faster. So the analytics sub menu item in your report section shows you lots of great stats on donations made to your organization through Mighty Cost. I would definitely check the section out a few times giving Tuesday or during the Give Local NRB event on June 24th so that you have a well-rounded view of where your donations are coming from.  So the analytics page could be really helpful in telling you kind of more information about what's going on with your donors, the amounts they give, et cetera. So I would definitely recommend checking it out and seeing what information's offered and then thinking about how you can utilize that information to the best of your ability. So the next item on your Mighty Cost manager bar is the fundraiser section. There's several sub menu options to choose from here and we'll just hit on a few of them. The first that I want to touch on is the donor experience section. This is probably one of the more important features to focus on when you're setting up your organization's profile page. The donor experience section gives you a lot of control over the donation process for your organization on Mighty Cost. It allows you to opt into collecting the information you want from donors like addresses and phone numbers. You can also set up custom suggested donation amounts and add descriptions to help tie those amounts to items or services your nonprofit provides, which basically strengthens your appeal to donate. Donor experience also allows you to preview the whole checkout process without actually making a test donation so you can see what your final process looks like and use that to edit yourself if needed. The donor experience section is also where you'll go to set up your thank you page and customize your donation receipt, both of which use the same text editor as your story on your profile. So you can add text, links, a video or image, and you can also add a custom call to action button that tells donors where you'd like to go next or where you'd like them to go next. So a cool idea would be, for instance, asking them to sign up for your email list right on that thank you page or you can have them sign up for an event or whatever you want. So it's super customizable.  And you can preview everything, like I mentioned before, so that you know what your donors are experiencing and can control that process. There's really a lot that you can do within this donor experience tool to help optimize your campaign and customize that checkout process for your donors. Okay, so also within the fundraising section is where you'll find the matching grants tool. As I'm sure many of you know, having a matching grant from a donor can go a long way in driving donations. So I wanna make sure you're aware of the tool Mighty Cost has specifically for that. The matching grants tool is a versatile tool and you have a lot of options for how you structure your match. Well, a lot of matches are one-to-one matching where if someone gives you that amount, the exact amount is matched. On the Mighty Cost tool for matching grants, you can also do two-to-one, three-to-one, or match a percentage of each donation. Our matching grant tool does all the math for you. So all you have to do is choose how you want to structure your match. You can also apply a match when a certain number of donations have been received. So for instance, if there is a prize where you have to reach the most individual donations, then you could say that if you get a hundred donations within an hour, you'll get an additional $1,000 for your nonprofit or whatever the prize might be, or however you wanna structure your match. So it's really a good tool to help you be strategic in terms of engaging the supporters more and utilizing those prizes that the community foundation is going to be offering. Also on the tool, you can add a logo to the tool so that if anyone is sponsoring the match for you, then let's say you have a person in the community or a business, you can add their logo to the matching grant tool as well. So while that might sound like a lot, the tool itself is really user-friendly and you have a lot of flexibility on how you structure your match. So I would highly suggest checking out the matching grants tool now just to see your possibilities and start brainstorming. And then of course, if you get overwhelmed or just aren't really sure, setting up your match as a one-to-one match is the simplest and easiest thing to do. Okay, so the last section on your admin bar is the settings. If you click settings, it opens a submenu where you can update your organization settings, which means you can customize your organization's URL. This is where you can manage your electronic fund transfers so you get all the money you raised during the campaign. It's also where you can update your legal information if needed and you can customize your social sharing here as well so that everyone who goes to share your campaign on social media gets that template that you create for them to start from.  The settings section is also where you can add or remove admins from your account as well. So moving on from the admin bar in your Mighty Cause account, I wanna make sure I mentioned the really great tools you can use as you get ready for Give Local NRV as well as Giving Tuesday. And those are in the non-profit toolkit. The toolkit has tips and tricks in FAQ, it has walkthroughs, and it also has templates you can use for email and social media to help you get inspired and figure out how to promote your campaign. The toolkit is also where you'll be able to find today's training recording, as well as logos and graphics that you can download to start tying your brand into the Give Local NRV brand. So definitely check out the toolkit if you haven't already and refer back to it as you're planning your campaign. Okay, so using your Give Local NRV site for Giving Tuesday. So Giving Tuesday is a really great way to take advantage of using your Give Local NRV site now, but you really have got to plan ahead to make the most of it. So to help you out, you can start using those free planning resources that we just kind of touched on in the non-profit toolkit. There's no real need to reinvent the wheel or start from scratch. So you can get started by checking out, there's a planning guide in there, there's a checklist for success, and a bunch of other resources as well. These are free and they're aimed at small organizations with limited resources. So definitely check them out as you're gearing up for Giving Tuesday. I also recommend assigning some key roles for the day or for planning activities. Give those out to specific members of your team or volunteers. So each person knows what they should be doing to prepare and what they should be doing on Giving Tuesday. Okay, so first, you wanna start off planning your campaign's message and theme to help create a focus for Giving Tuesday for your organization. You could just fundraise generally, but what we know on Mighty Cause is that it's important to have that focus, even if you're just using your nonprofit profile to fundraise. So think of a message, a theme, something that makes your campaign feel urgent and relevant and compelling to donors. What this could look like in practice is, raising money for a special fund at your nonprofit, a special project, improvements to your equipment or premises or even just finding a tagline and theme. Like for instance, an animal rescue might wanna focus on their foster program or a food bank might focus on fundraising for meals for the holidays. You also wanna set a goal for your efforts on Giving Tuesday. Are you trying to raise a certain amount of money? Are you trying to reach a certain number of new donors or retain a certain number of current donors? You really want to sit down with whoever is helping with your Giving Tuesday planning or sit down with yourself if it's just you and really think through what you want to try and accomplish on Giving Tuesday. Make sure your goal is specific and make sure it's measurable. You don't wanna just say, I wanna raise more money. How much money do you wanna raise? And then what are your goals during the day for how much you raise? Do you have a specific number of people you wanna reach out to? So just make sure that those goals are specific and then make sure that you know what actions you're taking to try and measure them so you know if you've hit them or not. And then Giving Tuesday is also a great opportunity to leverage any partnerships you have. This can include businesses, companies, really anyone who can help boost your campaign. If you have somebody in your community who is someone like a mayor or a news broadcaster like they have a little bit more following then try and partner with them during Giving Tuesday and get them to tweet out your message or share your social posts to try and get more traction for your organization that day. So, and you wanna think about natural partnerships. For instance, a pet food store might be a great partner for an animal rescue and a small local restaurant that focuses on farm to table food might be a great partner for a hunger relief organization. So partnering with people who are prominent in your community or with businesses that you have relationships with.  That is a really great way to take advantage of Giving Tuesday and not only give you exposure but then give them exposure well as well. And again, with the matching grant tool if you do have a business that sponsoring the match then you can upload their logo. You can include it in any of your communications that you send out on Giving Tuesday. So they're kind of getting a little love back as well. And it's more of a mutual partnership for that matching grant and on Giving Tuesday. And then of course, you'll wanna plan out your content. The first step there is, you know, gather what you already have, photos, videos, et cetera and then evaluate from that what you might need. And then, you know, from there you'll wanna move into planning how you'll use that content specifically in your emails and on your social media channels. So for email, you'll really wanna think about who you will contact and at what time. We strongly recommend segmenting your email list if you have a little bit of information on each donor or, you know, a specific group of donors that's gonna change how you might talk to them. So you're obviously gonna talk to your major donors differently than you are gonna be talking about those people that give $10 once a year. So, you know, think about the different segments that you have come up with an email plan that communicates to each of them. You don't wanna send out generic message to everyone asking them to give if you're able to, you know put ideas in, you know, your middle like people who give medium-sized donations let's say $50, like you could ask those people, okay, can you give $20 more this year for our Giving Tuesday campaign? So you're speaking to them specifically as opposed to just emailing out a generic blast that, you know, just says, please give. Having a specific message for specific segments usually gets you a better rate of return on those emails. And then of course, you know, social media is the main place that where you'll probably share Giving Tuesday content and stories since Giving Tuesday is a day that's really built for social media. So think about what platforms you're gonna use, how you're gonna engage your donors and definitely utilize that social media guide in the nonprofit toolkit. There's lots of really great tips and resources in there especially if you don't feel like your organization is super social media savvy. This will be a great place to start so you can kind of get that planning under your belt as you prepare for Giving Tuesday. And then another thing that you'll wanna do to help plan your communications is try and get as much done now as you can. That way you're not scrambling on the actual day. So if you're able to schedule anything, if you have any social media, scheduling tools like Hootsuite or TweetDeck or whatever you use then get as much as you can pre-scheduled and then leave just the same day stuff for actually Giving Tuesday. So for instance, same day stuff would include, if you wanted to do thank you shout outs to donors or if you have a matching grant that you've secured and it gets matched that day then you'll wanna let everyone know because it's very exciting. If you hit your goal, that kind of stuff would all be same day communications that you wouldn't schedule but you'd still kind of think about how you wanna format. And then lastly, don't forget to plan your follow-up and thank yous to everyone that helps make your campaign a success. So give shout outs during the day to donors of all sizes, send thank you emails. You can start prepping handwritten notes now to send out after Giving Tuesdays over. One way to make it easy for yourself is to customize that thank you page we were talking about, the thank you page and the email in the donor experience section. That way you can always send out additional or more personal thank yous but at least by customizing the thank you section, you know your donors are getting a note from you right after they donate. The follow-up on Giving Tuesday is super important too because not only is Giving Tuesday, December 3rd but then you're also looking at end of the year giving. So if you're planning on doing anything for end of year make sure that you're really thanking people who give on Giving Tuesday because they're kind of going above and beyond maybe what they normally give. So make sure that they know you're aware of their generosity and just thank them, thank them, thank them. That way they feel good about donating to your organization again, later in the year, you know, before December 31st. So I also, you know, we're kind of wrapping things up here but I wanna make sure I get our support teams contact information out there for you. We, you know, the support team, me included we're a great resource before and during Giving Tuesday as it leads up to give local NRV. So we're here for you, we're here to help you. You know, if you need help setting up your electronic fund transfer if you need some help figuring out how to strategize around the weekly or strategize around any prices or if your donor needs a receipt reset you can reach out to us anytime. And I would write down the phone number.  So we don't have our phone number super prominent on the website. So if you're somebody and you know that I really need phone support I just know that I'm gonna wanna call people like that's fine. We're happy to talk on the phone but there's not a lot of us. So make sure you write that phone number down so you have it handy. And then of course we're very active on our email support at mightycause.com. So if you need help at all then feel free to email into us and we will be more than happy to help you. Okay, yeah. So before we jump into any questions though Claire do you have any parting words for us? Or we can wait till after questions. Not sure if you had anything to add right now. No, I think happy to dive into questions. Okay, great. Let me see what we've got. Okay, we have a good amount of questions. Let's see. Do we need to register again if we have been registered in past years? So since this is the first year on Mighty Cause yes, you will need to register again. If you have any additional questions about that let me know, but it's super easy to register. Just claim your account on Mighty Cause, select your organization within that registration form to unlock the registration questions and then you'll be able to get started. Let's see. I heard before that June 1st through 23rd donations don't count for prizes and incentives. Is this not true? Claire, I'm gonna let you take that one. Donations count starting June 1st. So prize eligibility for donations would count starting June 1st through the 24th. But just to clarify, prize will have different kinds of prizes defined but donations count and count towards prizes starting on June 1st. Hopefully that makes sense. Great, and we'll, I mean, that's a good just clarifying point. So we'll make sure once the prizes are announced we'll make sure it's very clear on the website that any donations, like donations starting June 1st will count towards those prizes that the Community Foundation is offering. Let's see. Is there a way to remove the Mighty Cause logo on the background image? If you upload a new background image then that'll be there. I'm not sure. The Mighty Cause logo I don't think is on the Give Local NRV site. So we'll wanna make sure that you're on the correct page. So I will, Tiffany, I'll email you after the webinar just to make sure that you're on the correct page because it should have the Give Local NRV logo on your page. But I'll email you so we can clarify and that way we'll get your question answered. Okay, are we able to customize our organization name? We use a DBA, yes. So if you go to your profile section and when you click on that it'll open up those pencil icons. And if you click on the pencil icon next to your organization name on your profile page then you can edit what the display name is. You'll see if you go to the settings. Icon on your Mighty Cause manager and then go to organization settings and scroll down. You'll see what information we have on file for you. And that's what will appear on your receipt as well as your DBA.  If you do need to change your legal name then just click edit legal information within the organization settings so you can edit that. But it sounds like all you wanna do is edit the display name to your DBA. And all you need to do to do that is just click on that pencil icon and make that change. If you need to customize your URL to match your DBA then you can do that as well. And the URL customization is within the organization settings section of your site. So you can change your display name and the URL display to match whatever your DBA is. Can I add custom questions to my page? So you can add any custom questions that are already there. We don't have like true the ability to add like specific custom questions but if you needed to make like designations or dedications that part's customizable as well. But I'm happy to reach out to you, Leona, to kind of clarify further and get more information about what you're looking to add. Cause in case we already have it and you're not just, you're not seeing it. But I will, I'll reach out to you to kind of get clarification on that. If anyone has any other questions then like feel free to enter them in in the questions box. But those were, that was it for the questions that I had. We can probably wait a minute to see if any more come in but that's all that I had. So Claire, do you have anything else to add? And then of course, if anyone does have any questions that they think of after the webinar then you're welcome to email me. My email is Dawn, D-A-W-N at mightycause.com or you can email our support team support at mightycause.com and you know, either place will get your question answered. Yeah, absolutely. I think, I think this did a great job of covering everything folks would need to know to get up and running. So we're here if there are more questions before we wrap up and of course the community foundation team is also here if folks have questions at any point afterwards. I did have one more question come in. Is there a recommended or traditional video link for YouTube or Vimeo link? So technically no, there's no like traditional video link but it is recommended to keep your videos about two minutes or less. That way, you know, and it basically it's people's attention span. If you know, people are used to getting their information like just in super shortened formats these days. So a two minute long video is about as much as people can handle. And if you're able to really kind of, you know, introduce the meat of what you're trying to say within the first 15 seconds to make sure you hook them to keep them the full two minutes then that is probably most recommended. But for sure I would keep your videos at two minutes or less. That way there's a higher chance of people actually sitting through the whole thing. That was a good question. And there is more information about videos in the social media guide as well. Just a few more like tips and stuff. But yeah, that's a, it looks like that's it. Oh, one more.  Let's see. Do you know which has lower fees giving through Mighty Cause link or Facebook button?  So it's really up to you. If you want to use Facebook, that's fine but from what I understand, there's no reporting. So you wouldn't be able to see who donated before and then reach out to them again. There's less support and you don't get any real tools like peer-to-peer fundraising, et cetera. So, I mean. And if I could just add in that of course would not count for give local NRP. So only organizations that are registered on the platform will be eligible to participate in give local NRP. That's an important distinction, I think. So organizations are of course welcome to use any other platform they want for their fundraising purposes but for the purposes of the giving day that's sponsored by the Community Foundation give local NRP as the platform that we are using and that you have to be registered on to be eligible for incentive prizes and to participate. Yeah, and if you're asking about, I'm assuming that they're asking about giving Tuesday. So yeah, you're totally welcome to use Facebook for giving Tuesday but just you get what you pay for and if you don't pay for anything on Facebook you're not really gonna get a whole lot, which is fine. If that's what you want, that's totally fine but like Claire mentioned for give local NRP specifically it is on mighty cause it's not gonna be associated with Facebook at all. That was a good question too. Can we view any samples of other sites? Yeah, so if you do the search on give local NRP there's a like magnifying glass up in the upper left or upper right next to the profile login. If you click on that magnifying glass then it brings you to the search and it'll bring up any pages associated with give local NRP and then you can kind of click through and see others pages as they've set them up.  And so you can kind of you can filter by organization and then you can click on different organization pages to see what they've done to their pages to kind of give you ideas. These are good questions. I don't have any coming in right now but there has been a lot of questions coming in. So I just want to reiterate that again like you're welcome to use your mighty cause give local NRP page for Giving Tuesday or anything else that you want to fundraise for it is we are a year round fundraising platform. And you do get as we dug in and went through during the webinar you get a ton of tools and different resources for your organization that are free to you. So I would recommend even just digging through the resources because really all we're here for is to help you guys succeed. So whatever route you need to take to succeed and raise money for your organization that's awesome and definitely please go do it. If you, I would definitely access those reports and all of the information that you get with your mighty cause account because that's just gonna help set you up for success in the future. If you have donor reports where you can reach out to them every year in that especially that donor retention report once you use that for either, if you use it for Giving Tuesday that's awesome. It'll collect information if you use the mighty cause page for Giving Tuesday and then you'll already have that list for when you start to send out messages for Giving Tuesday and then you could segment those donors specifically and say, hey, you gave to us toward Giving Tuesday help us with our next Giving Day on June 24th and that way, you already have a list that is ready to go, already segmented that you can reach out to specifically for Give Local NRV but there's a lot of tools that come with your account that you can access and take advantage of but even if you don't use the mighty cause account for Giving Tuesday totally fine, you're still welcome to use all of the resources because again, you guys are doing awesome work in the New River Valley and we just want you to succeed so the community foundation is really trying to think ahead and provide you an opportunity and space for your fundraising for Giving Tuesday but totally up to you for how you wanna utilize that but again, like Claire mentioned to count towards any prizes for Give Local NRV specifically you'll definitely wanna use the mighty cause platform. We do, one thing I think I didn't mention or I should loop back on is that we do have an early bird incentive drawing prize for organizations that have registered for Give Local NRV and completed the five steps on that to-do list by Giving Tuesday so as Dawn mentioned, you don't have to participate in Giving Tuesday if you don't want to but if you have completed your profile to-do list and registered for Give Local by Giving Tuesday your organization will be entered into an incentive prize drawing for $500 that we're doing as an early bird incentive to get folks up and running on the platform while in advance of Giving Day. That's awesome. Great, well, I don't see any other questions coming in so I'm, of course, again, if anyone has any questions that they think of later you can email support at mightycause.com Yeah, that's all I had. I really appreciate your guys' time today. Hopefully, you got all the information you needed to get yourself up and running and we're really looking forward to Give Local NRV and we're so happy that we've been able to partner with the Community Foundation of New River Valley. So thanks, Claire. Appreciate your time too. And if you don't have anything else to add then I'll sign this up. All set, thanks a lot. Okay, awesome, thanks everyone.


Rihanna stunned viewers and fans across the globe recently when she unveiled that she's pregnant with her second child during her epic performance at the 2023 Super Bowl. She and her other half-ropper ASAP Rocky welcomed their first baby together as son in May 2022 and seemed to be quickly rowing their family. Riri got her humble beginnings on the island of Barbados before moving to LA to pursue her dream of being a singer, being discovered at age 16 by Jay-Z. After amassing a wildly high net worth over her career, Rihanna has purchased properties in Los Angeles as well as her native Barbados while ASAP Rocky is set to own homes in LA and New York City where he used to live. But when it comes to their main house, it seems that the couple is raising their family in a stunning $13.8 million mansion located in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood which Rihanna purchased at the end of 2020. The couple's home is as stylish as can be, boasting an entry with a glass door in the foyer and an open air central courtyard. The modern abode offers details like French white oak hardwood flooring, an open layout and a gorgeous great room with a wet bar, fireplace and walls of glass. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky both come from far different backgrounds and they are living today. ASAP has opened a small bungalow in the parish of St. Michael Barbados and at one point ASAP was even living in a Manhattan shelter alongside his mom. The couple's children will no doubt be living a much more glamorous lifestyle considering how successful the pair is these days. ASAP was raised in Harlem, New York which was also the location Henry reused for their first pregnancy announcement photo shoot and while his grandmother who was born in Barbados as well still lives there the rapper would move to the Soho area later in life. While these days ASAP owns his own property in LA's West Hollywood neighborhood and in New York City as well, he hasn't forgotten where he came from. Everything's giving the rapper reportedly donates meals to the regent family residence shelter where he once used to live and despite Rihanna having amassed so much success and a stunning net worth for all of this she used to sell clothes on the streets of Barbados as a teen to bring in extra cash for her parents. Both out Rihanna and ASAP Rocky have come a long way since those pre-famed days and now with a second baby on the way they can provide quite the lavish lifestyle for their growing family. While the couple has a handful of properties to bounce around from while raising their family it's believed that their main residence is a home in Beverly Hills that we repurchased in December 2020. Located in the Beverly Hills post office area of Los Angeles on the same star studded and posh street as legends like Paul McCartney this contemporary crib is nearly invisible from the street due to imposing privacy gates and hedges. The abode has undergone massive renovations to blend both traditional and modern design elements and inside it features 7,628 square feet of space with five beds and seven baths throughout. The home was built in the 1930s but it had been completely torn down and rebuilt in recent years making the new style very modern.  Interiors resemble a modern farmhouse design with French white oak hardwood flooring and an open plan layout.  Most of the lower level in the home surrounds this courtyard which is accessible through walls of glass sliders. One of the living areas has white walls and a floor to ceiling black marble fireplace. And another room also with fireplace is fitted with shades of gray from the walls to the bookcases and even the wet bar. Rihanna and Asap's kitchen has plenty of space to cook up a meal or entertain since it's bright and airy and features gold hardware, two white marble islands and access to another slim terrace. Not to mention there's a cozy breakfast snook here that was made glamorous with black leather seating. The master suite has tropical vacation vibes and looks like it's straight out of a resort also including a custom closet with black cabinets. The spa style ensuite bath opens to an outdoor lounge area as well. Also on the upper level of the home you'll find a home gym with full wall of windows overlooking the central courtyard and I'm sure by now there are a couple of children and baby bedrooms close to where their parents sleep. Throughout the home there are plenty of open plan spaces to socialize such as an intimate lounge area, a luxurious wet bar and the alfresco courtyard. The couple's half acre property is on a slope overlooking the canyon but the courtyard was a creative way to get the most out of the space. Because of its position on the hill the entire property is surrounded by tall walls adding extra security ideal for a celebrity like Rihanna. That luxury home isn't enough. In April 2021 it was reported that Rihanna added on to that property and bought up the house next door for $10 million. This home was never on the open market but the gated property includes a large home originally built in the late 30s spanning 3,500 square feet of space with four beds and 4.5 baths. The Tudor style home is designed with a mostly traditional vibe offering up formal living and dining areas along with an eating kitchen on the main floor. This space opens up to the family room and there are some cozy fireplaces throughout as well. That family room also has glass sliders out to the backyard while the upstairs master suite boasts its own private balcony. While the home may look a little bit basic for Rihanna and a Saprocky style they now own over an acre of land total with both of these Beverly Hills Post Office properties combined. Not to mention over 11,000 square feet of living space between them, two pools and tons of parking. Out in the backyard there's a brick patio with room for eating in the fresh air as well as a built-in barbecue and an oversized swimming pool. Elsewhere on top of the garage you'll find a separate guest house with a full bedroom suite. Aside from this $23.8 million Beverly Hills compound Rihanna owns several other luxury properties including a $6.8 million villain the Hollywood Hills. I mentioned Barbados and a high floor flat in LA's Wilshire Corridor which she said to rent out. But what was actually Rihanna's long time main residence was a $5.2 million condo unit in Century City. Since 2014 Riri has also owned this gorgeous penthouse in the Century, a 42 story condominium skyscraper in Century City, Los Angeles. About 10 miles from downtown LA. Residents of the Robert A.M. Stern Design Tower have often spotted the high profile singer coming and going from the building. And according to several sources, Rihanna has long been using this stunning penthouse as her primary residence. She sought after this property for safety purposes after an intense break in incident occurred since there are private elevators and what's described as three layers of anti-Paparazzi security here. Aside from those features the Century is also famed for its 24 hour of LA and 75 foot luxury pool with private cabanas. Rihanna's unit here is said to boast three beds and four baths and cost her $5.45 million. Which isn't a surprising price tag considering celebrities like Matthew Perry and Paula Abdul have also called this building home. It certainly is top of the line. The Century boasts 140 units and other reasons for a high price tag to live here include amenities like a movie theater, a spa, wine storage, fitness center, four acres of landscape gardens and more. While the couple is known to spend a lot of time in New York City as well as London, England, it's widely believed that their main residence is the one in Beverly Hills Post Office. After taking a look at some of Rihanna's properties where she lives with ASAP Rocky, I think that's gonna bring our house tour to a close. From a modest bungalow and Barbados to a multi-million dollar mansion in one of the world's most exclusive addresses, we can't wait to see what Rihanna decides to invest in next. Before we wrap things up, answer this question for me.

The present study assessed spatiotemporal changes in human thermal stress characteristics in South Asia based on daily minimum, maximum and mean universal thermal climate indices using a high spatial resolution database for the period 1981 to 2019. Results showed a significant increase in heat stress in the region, with the highest human thermal stress in Western Afghanistan, the Indo-Gangetic Plain, and Southeastern and Central parts. The study also found that the region is likely to observe more frequent and intense heat extremes in the coming decades and that there is a robust positive coherence between UTCI indices and El Nino Southern Oscillation Index in certain areas. The findings are critical for understanding human thermal stress and adopting effective risk reduction strategies against heat extremes in South Asia, and the study recommends a detailed investigation of the underlying drivers of UTCI variability in the region.

This paper examines the effect of different types of sugars and fats on body composition and metabolic health. It found that a combination of fructose and glucose was more obesogenic and metabolically adverse than when either monosaccharide was consumed alone. However, with increasing dietary fat content, the effects of dietary sugar composition became less pronounced. Additionally, higher fat intake was more harmful for glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity regardless of the sugar mix consumed. These results suggest that both dietary fat and sugars can lead to adverse metabolic outcomes, depending on the dietary context. This article was authored by Gibranay Wally, Doon N.I., Harrison J.W. Facey, and others.
