Welcome, everybody, to another episode of the nonprofit show today from Ireland. Welcome, Neil Driscoll. Oh, Driscoll. Oh, Driscoll. Oh, Driscoll, I'm easy. Thanks, Julia. Lovely to be here with you. It's wonderful. OK, now listen, my friend. You've got to correct me if I say that wrong. Well, we're going to really dig down into best practices of grant management, which everybody knows how our country has been transformed by these amazing numbers of grants, some small, some massive, some private, some federal. I mean, it's really caused a lot of heartburn for so many people. And so we're really excited to get Neil's approach on what's going on and what your company Submit.com is talking about and seeing. And so we'll get into that with Neil. But again, we're super excited to have Neil here. If we haven't met before, I'm Julia Patrick, CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy. Jared Ransom, my trusty sidekick, is in the South this week on vacation. So she'll join us back next week. And then hint, hint, I'm going to be taking off a couple of days. But anyway, we want to make sure that we thank and express our gratitude for all of our presenting sponsors who are with us day in and day out. We were talking to Neil in the green room chatter. We are coming upon our 600 episode, which is just a mind blowing thing for me. And those, these sponsors have really helped us to achieve that because most of these sponsors have been with us since day one. They include Blumerang, American Nonprofit Academy, your part-time controller, nonprofit nerd, fundraising academy at National University, staffing boutique, and nonprofit thought leader. Again, thank you so much to these folks. If you want to see this episode again, share it or go back to any of our amazing episodes, you can find us on Roku, YouTube, Vimeo, Amazon Fire TV, and now on podcast, wherever you stream your content. Cue us up and we can go with you. Okay, Neil O'Driscoll, coming to us from Ireland. Tell us where you are in Ireland. I'm on the very south coast of Ireland, on the Atlantic. We're a cork-based company, but we're spread out around the south coast since the pandemic, everybody working from home. So, yeah, I mean, as you probably know, Ireland is the Silicon Valley of Europe, effectively. There's a really thriving tech scene here. And that's what Submit.com was born out of about 10 years ago. And so talk to us about what Submit.com does, because we have you here today on the nonprofit show for a very specific reason. And I'd love to give our viewers and listeners kind of some context of how you came to us. I'll try and keep it short because we do a lot. We do submission management, hence the name. We've been had a heavy focus on grant management for about 10 years, but to us, a grant starts with a submission. You need to create a form. You need to collect data from your applicants and you need to push it through a process. It's the design of the process, whether it be casting for television, whether it be hiring for a new job, or whether it be grant management. From a tech challenge perspective, they're all the same problem. I mean, we have custom tools for each of those sectors, grant management being one, but that's how we started. Amazing. You know, one of the things that we have noticed a lot in our sector is I think it's become very evident that the nonprofit sector is really way behind on technology. And one of the things that the pandemics have done is it's pushed us in the sector to be more open to adopting technology. I'm wondering if you're seeing that. I am seeing that. I mean, in the grant management sector, we traditionally, a lot of our customers would have been government agencies. Since the pandemic, I mean, we've nonprofits coming on board at a much greater rate. So we're in the lovely position of sitting in the middle with hundreds of grant management customers seeing what each of them do well, what each of them do badly. And sometimes they're across learnings to go from what governments do into the nonprofits and vice versa. I mean, broadly speaking, and obviously this is a generalization, governments, government agencies tend to be possibly over engineered sometimes. And that's a pitfall, trying to over design a process. Nonprofits tend to be on the other end of the scale, moving from paper sometimes, but I actually find it easier to move a nonprofit into the digital world than to digitize a government process because there's less to think about.  So we get them to question, what are you trying to achieve in grant management? What are your desired outcomes? What steps do you need in your process to achieve that? And some of our established customers, namely the government ones, have processes that have evolved over years and years and years. They often add in steps to their process. They very rarely take them out and then they end up with a monster. So that's a good comment. Yeah, absolutely. Just that you keep adding as opposed to editing and finding it interesting. Well, let's talk about some of these things that you've learned and given this context with which you get to see both sides of the table, which I always think is the best place to be. And we're gonna be talking about best practices. And you started to kind of share with us this application management thing, how far back have we been or do we need to get to to understand application management? I mean, is this kind of a new thing or are we way under utilizing systems? I mean, no, nothing has changed since the days of pen and paper to a certain extent. The steps are the same. If you digitize a process, yeah, there are tools there to make things much more efficient. But on a kind of a broad level, if you're designing an application process, you want to, whether it be on paper or whether it's digital, you want to think of a few words. One is clarity and transparency, I think. You need to tell your applicants what the rules of the game are. That's something that a lot of people skip. If there's a scoring rubric, what is it? What are you looking for? What are your desired outcomes? The clearer you can be at that stage, the more applications you will get in and ultimately the better outcomes you will have as a nonprofit. Then there's a simplicity is another word that I would use. I touched on it earlier. Try not to over complicate the process. You don't want to put barriers in the way of your potential grantees. Yes, you need to ensure compliance. You need to ensure that they meet the eligibility criteria. You need to gather enough information to make an educated decision on whether to award them a grant or not. But a lot of the time when we engage with customers, we'll go through their paper forms and we'd say, you know, have a look at it. See, can you cross anything out? And that can be a fantastically worthwhile exercise. Yeah, interesting. Well, you know, it seems to me too that at the end of the day, you want to meet the expectations of everyone. And if you can't start out declaring what it is you're trying to achieve, you're going to have a misalignment between the grantee and the grantor.  Absolutely. People can be very covetous of things like scoring or their in-house processes. As much as is possible, you should open the doors, let people see what you're trying to achieve. I mean, non-profits have nothing to hide. They're generally trying to do good in the world. Yeah, yeah. When you talk to clients, are you seeing this process? How reticent are they to do that? I think you said something very interesting. People are fearful to, you know, open up or be transparent about this. What do you see? What are you seeing? I think the more organized and the more thought has been put into your own systems, the more open people tend to be about them. That's a generalization again, and I can only talk in general terms today, but if you're confident in your own systems and you're confident that you have systems that you've thought through the process, then you should have nothing to fear by sharing that with the applicant. And that can often be a very quick exercise. Again, it comes back to, what are my desired outcomes? How do I want to achieve them? If you believe in your own systems, then it's a lot easier to share them. So that's... I love that, you know? That's like, that might be... We still have time with you on the non-profit show, but that might be the wisest thing I've heard this week. Because, you know... Thank you. You know, Neil, no, I'm serious. That is a message that filters down through so many aspects of our non-profit sector. That's brilliant. That's cool. I'm gonna have to like, write that down and put that on a sticky note on my desk. That's a good thing. Okay, so you've already charmed me and amazed me with this first best practice, but now I really wanted to start talking about this consistent communication aspect, because at the core of what you just said, that's a communication issue. Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, communication is huge in grant management. There's the first thing we touched on, tell people the rules of the game. Then there's... I suppose communication can get complicated because these days people have so many channels, whether it be social media, whether it be your website, whether it be emailing past applicants. The danger with all these channels is that you don't have one hub where people can go to get the rules of the game. So if you're directing people via Twitter, bring them back to either your webpage or a tool like a grant management platform where they can have an archive or a repository of the information they need before applying. Have a common destination. And that's before you even get into the process of managing a grant itself.  So you've got automation built in and then any grant management platform will have that to improve your efficiency. So if you're doing it in pen and paper, you'll get something through the post, you'll have to say thank you received and update people by post every time or by email. And there's... So there's also the landing page, there's automated emails, there's a direct communication with applicants. So do you collaborate with your applicants? Not every grant is created equal. So sometimes the team will want to help people put their best foot forward. Otherwise, other systems will say no. You submit it, that's it. We're adjudicating it, ruling on it with an iron fist. So you've got direct messaging. You'll probably have a team dealing with the grant applications. So again, kind of a hub is nice if I can look at an application and see any messages sent by my colleagues to that applicant. Then you'll have group messages. Reminders are a common one.  I love that. You've got all these draft applications. Again, another advantage of having a digital platform. You want to see the drafts.  Right. Right. That's a good comment.  And when we have foundation folks or people that are granting money or resources, scholarships, whatever, they always say, please don't be afraid to call us or contact us. That there seems to be this fear level of the relationship between the funder and the nonprofit. And what I hear you saying with your orientation of your product, maybe this helps eliminate some of that fear because if there's a portal or there's a place to go to get communications, that makes it easier. I mean, is that part of your process? Or is this just... Absolutely. And I mean, a lot of the time you'll have questions asked by one person that somebody else will be afraid to ask. It's the same question. So having your FAQs on that landing page is a very, very beneficial thing. And you touched on that communication between the grantee and the grantmaker as well. When the process, as the process pre-grant assessment, post-grant process concludes, get feedback from your grantees. They're the people with their ear to the ground. Ultimately, they're the people that you want to help. You'll probably be running a similar grant again next year. Get their feedback. Did they enjoy the process? What were their issues with it? Is there anything you could do better? All of our customers were most successful. Listen before, during, and after the process to their grantees. And I agree with that. But it seems to me like there would be fear to be that transparent with somebody who you want to do business with or get money from. I mean, how does that work? I mean, yeah, you're right in saying nobody wants to insult the hand that feeds them. But I mean, constructive criticism isn't an insult.  That would be my take on it. Yeah, no, I think that's a more emotionally mature place to be. I also think too that sometimes, and I'd love your feedback on this, sometimes it seems like we have funders who might not have a realistic expectation of what their money can do or their investment can do. Do you see that and is that part of a communication flow? Yeah, I mean, I'm slightly outside of my kind of area of expertise talking about funder feedback where it stops with us really is giving the nonprofit the tools to give meaningful and robust reports to the funders. Where it goes beyond that, I'm kind of out of my depth. But I mean, we get a lot of feedback from our customers asking for up-to-date reports because I think that's the key. Information, again, is key. Similar problem to dealing with the grantees. If you're giving regular reports, you establish the cadence of the reports between yourselves and your funders, but we'll say once a month as a process is underway. How many applications are coming in? What's the quality of those based on the current state of assessment? And so on and so forth down to allocation of funds and draw them, you may have a phase on a process. You might have an application phase, drawdown phase, post-grant phase. You can report on all of those. And I mean, there's nothing like facts on the ground to satisfy your funders. Kind of feeling that more could be done. If the more information you give them, the less doubt they'll have. So let's drill down a little bit about that because I agree with you. It seems to me like we have more success when we can, if you use the overall word communicate, but it's really about what is it you're communicating and providing the metrics and the data, what are you seeing? Obviously with a portal situation, you probably have an amazing opportunity to help everybody understand what the reporting requirements are and that they can funnel it through your system. But what are some of the things you see? As regards reporting, let's suppose there's depends on which relationship you're talking about from the perspective of the nonprofit, first of all, you want to see have we got enough suitable applications coming in? There's no worse position to be in than to have a fund and not have the quality of applications coming in to spend it effectively. So you want to have a live view again of, and that's where being able to see drafts as they come in is very valuable. Again, you don't want somebody sitting at their kitchen table or multiple applicants sitting at their kitchen table, you don't know about them. They're coming up to deadline day, you suddenly your fingers across that will get enough in. If you move, if you go digital, you'll see what's coming down the tracks much more effectively. So that's one constant report that you'll be running. What's coming in? Are people completing their applications? Do I need to remind them? You may want to tag those even before they're completed. Say, okay, it looks suitable. It's eligible. You want to be tracking or is it junk coming down the track or is it quality coming down the track? So that's one type of tracking. The next type of tracking is I suppose you've got an applicant who's completed an application. They want to know what's the status of my application? Some people, I'm a big fan of communication, but if you send too many update emails with minimal developments, if you like, people tend to ignore them. And you can often have an email that follows which requires an action. We need a particular document, for example. And if that's one of 20 emails that have come from a system saying, hey, we're now considering your application. It's now moved on to phase two, phase three, phase four. It can get lost in the heap. So keep them up to date. Again, what we often do is get the non-profit to tag applications. You can make tags visible to the candidate. So they can log into the portal and see the status of their application without you filling up their inbox with a status update. That way, when you require additional information, they know to action it straight away. Right, yeah, that's smart, that's smart. Because again, too, you started out this conversation with a really good point is a lot of times it's not just one person, it's a team working with us. And so you really need to kind of understand what that chain of command is gonna be, I guess, if you will, going both directions. Really an interesting thing. And this gets down to another question that we kind of wanna talk to you about, and that is managing workflow. Because, and we already identified this amazing amount of money that's coming through into the non-profit sector because of the pandemic and understanding that there are going to be people that maybe this is a new process to them. So it's been more challenging. Can you talk to us about workflow and kind of some of the things that you're seeing? Yeah, so I suppose on a high level, you have three phases, the pre-award phase, the evaluation phase, and the post-award phase, very basic terms. A common workflow that people would have would be, you'll write your grant, okay, make sure you don't overcomplicate the form, you'll release it, you'll publicize it, applications come in. You'll then want to do some triage, maybe eliminating ineligible applications, maybe ensuring compliance and so on. A very common thing after that is that you might have a panel of evaluators. Might not necessarily be the same people who are doing the triage. So you want to add the short list of applications to a folder, share that with your evaluation committee. Ahead of time, you want to decide, do we need a scoring rubric of some sort? And that can serve a few purposes. One is obviously assigning rules to what you're actually looking for, making sure they fit your corporate goals. But also it gives you a nice kind of a track record to share with unsuccessful applicants. You'll often have unsuccessful applicants then, why? And if you have your score bars set up, you can say, well, if you scored very highly in section A, B and C, but you didn't in section D. Again, don't over engineer it, but simplicity is key there and making sure your team all understand the workflow. A lot of the time you'll have people giving their own free time, either pro bono or for a nominal fee for evaluation. You want to make this simple as possible for them. You want to make sure they come back to you again. You know, so these evaluators, you want to mind them. You want to make sure they can log in, see all the information they need to see, assign the scores or comments that they need to assign with the minimum of fuss and to do it in their own time. So that's another thing to think about. How do you want to make it as easy as possible for your evaluators? And a step that an awful lot of people skip is the final step, a post award review, particularly if your grant is running year to year. You want to learn from what you've done this year and try to make your incremental improvements for next year. But don't go down the route, don't make the mistake I made earlier of adding bits and not taking bits away. You know, that's a really... So I got to ask, I love that you said that, but do you see that people are doing that? Because that's a heavy lift for a lot of organizations. The feedback? Yeah. Not necessarily, you see, it's a survey. You might have saved 100 applicants. Okay, you won't get a huge percentage of them completing a post grant survey. But if you get 30% of people doing a simple survey, again, treat them like, at this stage, you have to treat them like pro bono evaluators. They're going to get nothing out of this. So it's simple questions with an option for comment. Keep it as short and sweet as you can. You don't, you hope that we won't need to redesign your entire process, but you might pick up one or two pointers. So it's a link. Send them a bulk message. Thanks for participating. Whether you were successful or unsuccessful, we'd love it if you could complete this short survey. And again, if you have an online platform, not just submit.com, I mean, go to g2.com or one of those grant management review sites. If you want to compare and contrast different offerings, most of them will include a facility to do that. I think that's brilliant. And I think it's even more imperative for us to be doing this because this grant process is picking up speed. And I don't know if you think that and if submit.com, I mean, you have a global landscape to review, but it just seems like this is a process that funders, donors, organizations are really comfortable with. They like this. And it seems like it's just picking up speed. It is, I mean, particularly in the States, I think the Build Back Better program has accelerated it hugely. We've always had more of a culture of federal grants or government grants on this side of the Atlantic than you have in the States, but it's the pandemic has changed that, whether that will remain the case or not the future will only tell. Well, it's an interesting thing because I hear people all the time saying, well, we are starting a family foundation and it might be small now, but it could be mighty later on or we're pooling our sources or corporations saying, our employees want this. And so it just seems like this grant language is really, really an important thing. I've got a question that's come in and it's a really interesting thing. I don't know what part of the world it's come from, but it says, is this product appeared to serve the grantor organization and or can it be worked through recipient? So meaning submit.com with all of the different products and platforms, are you really more geared towards those funders or is this something that a nonprofit might be able to engage with to help them steward their own grant management? Yeah, I think the nonprofit rather than the funders would be our primary customer base because ultimately you'll be the grant writer, you'll get your part of money, you'll be designing your grant form for your desired outcomes. I mean, we've had people turn it on its head. At the end of, as I said at the top we're submission management platform. You could have a nonprofit with a website saying, click here if you want to be a funder and you've a, again, a process that you want to put those through, but realistically you want to have a more personal touch when you're soliciting donations from your funders. So yeah, the person administering the grant is our customer. And obviously it's in their interest to benefit the donors and the grantee as well. Well, and this is one of those interesting things too is that we're seeing a lot of nonprofits that are now umbrella organizations that are then funding nonprofits. So they're a nonprofit themselves that maybe had their own mission, vision and values for a certain area and they've grown to such an extent that they might become an expert in their field or they become collaborators with a lot of other small or regional or nonprofits outside the area. And then they are starting to funnel down. And I think this is a new thing that we're starting to see. It's kind of like the United Way methodology in so many aspects that we have here in this country, but I'm starting to see it with other, institutionalized size organizations. If you will, they're larger. You've touched on something there. They seem to be facilitating real grassroots nonprofits. Yes, exactly. I think that's the change that I'm seeing. Yes. Whereas in the past it was, mind my language here, but gray men in suits, I'll leave it at that. But you know what I mean? I'm seeing a much more diverse leadership group in the nonprofits that we deal with than we used to. Yeah, it's really interesting. I'm seeing two people that are saying, we love culture. And so we're gonna gather a group of people and we're gonna support culture, as opposed to just saying, oh, we only support our opera company or our ballet company or whatever. But like again, amalgamating money and resources and then turning themselves into granting agencies. It's a fascinating thing. And I don't see it going away. I mean, I think that the pandemic has accelerated things, but yeah, it's really an interesting time. And the key then is there's more money being funneled in through nonprofits for grants. How do you give that money away effectively and efficiently? It can be very costly to give money away, you know? And I've come across, I won't name names obviously, but I've come across government agencies somewhere in the world that have spent more on administering grants than they have in actually getting the money to where it should be. Right, and that's brutal. Well, hey, Neil O'Driscoll, coming to us from Ireland today, we're just, I could talk to you all day long because this is fascinating. And I feel like you are on the cusp of seeing this major snowball that's gonna be coming across our sector. And so it's really cool to see and hear from you about what is going on and what we can be thinking about. Certainly best practices, but really understanding how this landscape of funding is changing. And so here is Neil's information, submit.com. Check them out, their website is incredibly robust and it has all of these different sectors that they serve throughout the world. If you joined us in the Green Room Chatter, submit.com is doing a lot of work in Africa. And again, I'm a big believer of learning what other organizations and cultures are doing. And so it's like a world tour by going to their website just to see what's going on. It's been an amazing conversation, Neil. I'm so delighted that you would join us. Thanks for having me, Julie. I really enjoyed it too. It's been a lot of fun. Hey, I'm Julia Patrick, Jared Ransom, my co-host. We'll be back with us shortly. Again, we wanna thank all of our presenting sponsors who are with us day in and day out. So we're gonna have a conversation like we've had with Neil O'Driscoll here today from submit.com. Boomerang American Nonprofit Academy, your part-time controller, non-profit nerd, fundraising academy at National University, staffing boutique, and non-profit thought leader. As we like to end every episode, we want to remind ourselves and we want to remind you stay well so you can do well. We'll see you back here.


The challenge of the Yukon It's King, swiftest and strongest lead dog of the North country Blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the greedy race for riches Now back to the days of the gold rush when Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King battled through storm and snow to preserve law and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon They called him Balmy Bill. He was old and harmless and as simple as a child and the only thing that mattered to him was his old dog Barnaby who followed him about in the Silver Dollar Cafe where Bill swept the floor and cleaned the Cuspidors in exchange for his board and room Bill had been successful once but they said he got lost in the Yukon Blizzard and after that his mind went blank Barnaby had brought him home but that was long ago when the dog was young and strong Now Barnaby was happy to doze beside the stove during the evenings while Bill sat nearby watching the prospectors in the cafe Hello there Bill. How are you tonight? Hello. How's old Barnaby these days Bill? He's just stings. Getting colder out. You better see that that stove keeps burning Who I will, I always keep it going Say there's Dan Beecher and Bob over at that table. Come on they're starting to play poker. Let's get in the game Yeah, see you later Bill. Take care of Barnaby I sure hope my luck holds out tonight. We could use the money Yeah, I'm getting pretty low myself Well dealin' Bob. I feel lucky tonight boys so watch out Remember what happened the latest time you said that Hello boys, wait for us boys Hey, get a couple of chairs.  I think it's a dirty trick leave me after we've been partners for so many years Well if you had any sense you'd come with me Dan. You're rich enough now Not quite Bob. That claim of ours is too good to give up yet I'll get to the states just about the time you go broke And then you'll be sorry you were in such a rush I sure wish Pete and I had a claim instead of working in the bank Maybe if you'd save your money and not gamble so darn much Jed You and Pete could buy a gold claim Yeah, don't you worry Dan. We're going to take some of that hard earned gold to yours away from you right now Yeah that's right. Dealin' Bob It was almost morning when Pete Holt and Jed Wilson got back to their small club Cabin. They both looked glum as they undressed for bed Well Bob sure cleaned us out tonight He was lucky that's all Lucky or not it sure puts us in a bad spot When Jamison comes home from his trip and finds out we barred a few thousand from his bank We're going to be in a mess He won't be back for a week But what are we going to do?  We'll get it back We can't be unlucky all the time You mean we're going to take more money from the bank? What else can we do? Do you really go to jail? Pete, we're in way over our heads now It's our only chance Jed If we're caught now we go to jail for grand larceny anyway Our luck will change it has to I wish we'd never started this Don't waste your time wishing Maybe tomorrow night the pictorial chain You said that every day for two weeks Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police Stopped his dog team in front of Dan's cabin the following morning With his big dog king beside him The Mounted started for the door Just as Dan opened it And came out of the cabin carrying a dish of food Boy hello there Preston, how are you? I'm fine Dan I heard Bob was leaving the Yukon soon That right? Yes that's right I'm buying out his share of a gold claim He's leaving in about a week Oh I'm sorry to hear it I thought I'd better start and say goodbye But if he's going to be here a week I'll see plenty of him before he goes Oh well Say, do you know Bessie had two fine pups? No I didn't That's what the food's for?  I have but Bob is still sleeping He was a heavy winter at the silver dollar last night He didn't get home a very near morning Say by the way I'm giving a big farewell party for him the night before he leaves Our cabin is too small I'm king Well yes I'll be back by then This is my last trip with the dog team The snow's just about gone and I'll be on horseback That means less work for king doesn't it Not much Dan He runs along with me I couldn't do without him I'm king I'm king I'm king I'm king It was late the next afternoon When Pete Holt and Jed Wilson Walked toward the silver dollar cafe The sun had melted away the last of the snow And the door of the cafe was open Balmy Bill sat in the doorway Staring off into space Nobody will be in the silver dollar yet We can talk better there There's old Balmy Bill Hey what's wrong with you? My dog It's by the bed Where is he? Where is he? He's gone Did he run away or something? Oh no, Balmy Bill has never run away What happened to him? He He died Died? Yes What's the matter? My dog It's by the bed Where is he? Where is he? He's gone Did he run away or something? Oh no, Balmy Bill has never run away What happened to him? He He died Died?   Of course we're gonna play Oh, luck started to change last night We'd be crazy not to take advantage of it From now on, Jed, we're gonna clean up We're gonna take last night's winnings And some more from the bank for a backlog Hello, Bill Hey, quiet This is Dan Beecher Coming over here Hello, Dan Hello, boys Hello, Dan Just dropped in to see if there's any Saturday To pay Bob off or he'll share my claims That's right You're buying him out, aren't you?

trail him well he didn't I'll put King on Bessie's trail come on we'll start at the woodshed where he can get us sent I'll leave my horse here and put King on leash one King Balmy Bill sat high up on the mountain trail beside a huge boulder called Ridge Rock a soft wind there's only one thing we can do now I'll put King on Bessie's trail come on we'll start at the woodshed where he can get us sent I'll leave my horse here and put King on leash one King the dog whoever you might people come trail beside a huge boulder called Ridge Rock a soft wind played with his long gray hair as smiling happily he bent over the tiny squirming pups that he held gently in his lap oh no don't cry like that I guess maybe you're hungry whoever you might people come soon Then I'll take you back to where I live and feed you. It's some other dog. She followed this friend now, ain't that nice?  Come on, right here in this place back to the brook. Yeah, now, never mind. I'm going to let you have your babies. Eat this box. Got tired of waiting. They had to let people know we were going hunting, so nobody would suspect. There's a crazy old hoot sitting back against the rock. I knew he'd be here. I hope he got the money. Hello, Bill. Huh? Oh, hello, boys. Did you bring the bag with you? Yes, I did. Just like you said. Here it is. It's heavy. That's the bag, all right. Here, Chad. Take it. Yeah. Get some money, all right. Money? What money? Did you bring me the puppy? Where is he? You said you'd bring me a puppy. Bill, did you ever look over the edge of the trail here? You can see the river. Oh, no, no, I don't like to look down there. It's so far down, it makes me feel funny. That's the bag, all right. Here, Chad. Take it. Yeah. Yeah, get some money, all right. Money? What money? Did you bring me the puppy? Where is he? You said you'd bring me a puppy. Did you ever look over the edge of the trail here? You can see the river. Oh, no, no, I don't like to look down there. It's so far down, it makes me feel funny. Where's the puppy? Come over here and look down. I'll hold on to you, so you won't... No, no, no, I don't want to look over the edge. I won't go near it. Oh, yes, oh well. And tugged at the leash in his eagerness to go faster. Then suddenly the Mountie heard a cry around the bend of the trail ahead. That sounds like Bobby Bill. Chad, get there fast enough, I'm afraid. Right, King. I'll only show. Go ahead, fella. Get him, King. Stop it, boy. Like a flash of gray lightning, the huge dogs sped up the mountain trail. As he rounded the bend he saw Pete pulling and tugging at Bobby Bill, hitting the old man as he struggled a whole back. Pete, furling him to the ground, Chad raised his gun, Get him, King. Stop it, boy. Like a flash of gray lightning, the huge dogs sped up the mountain trail. As he rounded the bend he saw Pete pulling and tugging at Bobby Bill, hitting the old man as he struggled a whole back. Sitting him to the ground, Chad raised his gun, I'll get him, Pete. Yes, Sergeant. If he's hurt badly, Dan.  All right, King Backfella, but watch him, boy. Get up, Pete, you're not hurt. Yes, Sergeant, yeah, I'm breasting. He's still alive. They were going to throw me over the edge. He was trying to push me over. What are you doing here, Bill? They told me to get the bag. Look, the mother dog's giving them their breakfast. They're beside the rock. All right, Bill. He's right, Sergeant. Bessie's here for the two pups. Let her bring them along, Dan. I'll have a look at Jed's arm. They didn't do what they said they would. Let's see your arm, Jed. It wasn't my idea to murder Bill. Pete was the one that planned it.  Watch it, Pete. King's guarding you. You can walk, Jed.  Come on. Here are the pups. They didn't bring me a puppy. If these are yours, then I'll have a look at Jed's arm. They didn't do what they said they would. Let's see your arm, Jed. It wasn't my idea to murder Bill. Pete was the one that planned it.  Watch it, Pete. King's guarding you. You can walk, Jed.  Come on. Here are the pups. They didn't bring me a puppy. If these are yours, then I won't have one. You're going to get a puppy, Bill. You can have your choice of these two. It's all right with Sergeant Bessie.  We had to have some money. We were in a jam. That's enough, Father, you Pete. You and Jed are under arrest for robbery and attempted murder. Just like by the day. By the day was little.  That was nice of you, Dan. Those are valuable pups. Well, not as valuable as the money in this bag. Dan, we had to have some money. We were in a jam. That's enough, Father, you Pete. You and Jed are under arrest for robbery and attempted murder. Get going. I'm taking you back to town. Watch them, King. Thanks to you, this case is closed. Without a father-in-law, in Willie Piper's case, it would probably be perfect bliss. Willie is the bashful, long-suffering hero of the Willie Piper show on the air every Thursday evening over most of these ABC stations. And his father-in-law is a domineering gent whose aim in life seems to be to keep Willie happy with his presence. The family frenzy started not too long ago when Willie's father-in-law carried him over the threshold. And Willie, protestingly, peaked, gee, I wish I had a mother-in-law. In short, Willie is a grocery clerk by trade. And his father-in-law is a domineering gent whose aim in life seems to be to keep Willie happy with his presence.

And just over a month we're going to host the world's best Rugby 7 players here in the second edition of the HSBC Canada 7 series. We are very proud to support the Canada 7 series in a very formal way today. This is a tremendously exciting event for British Columbia, you all know that it puts our province, our country, our city on the world stage in such a great way and it's such a great event for our sport. Today Steve and I are very pleased to announce that the provincial government will be providing two grants to support this series. $170,000 will come from my ministry's Tourism Events program and we will be adding to that $50,000 through our major events program from Peter's Ministry, the Ministry of Community Sport and Cultural Development. So today we're delighted to provide the provincial government's support to this important event. We're going to invest $220,000 this year to make sure that this event gets the coverage, the recognition that it deserves. Sixteen nations from around the world coming here to compete and all their supporters as well. Just in rugby and all rugby, this tournament helps us fund programs and funds young athletes, girls and boys who want to take up the game. So we're very excited about that. The province's support is a big part of that, this stadium is a big part of that. We can now do things we've never really dreamt of before in rugby. It's a wonderful opportunity for our city, I'm just so pleased to be here this morning along with Minister Vaughn to provide this very important support for the event. We know it's going to be another great success. We know we have three more years of this and if we keep demonstrating this continued success I know we're going to be able to look to this as a long term tourism sporting event in our city.


with the high jump final for under 20 boys. A tie for the bronze medal. Shamar Davis and Bernard Kim, the two Bahamians, could not be separated at 1.95 meters. Timothy Greenwich of Grenada clear third time at 205 to stay in the gold medal hunt. But ultimately you couldn't keep up with this man. Chavez pinned the 2022 on the 17 champion becoming beyond the 20 winner. 280 first cleared and then 2.13 meters before calling it quits when he was ahead. Terrific performance for Chavez pinned. He'll have the triple jump for under 20 boys later in this championship.


And yeah, that might not sound like a lot, folks, but it was because you had a rejection. This market was down pretty good. If we take a look at the spy first, what you're going to see, spy traded the 372, rejected it. It's a 381, bottom line, it's going to try to get up to the swing again, you know, and this is the last day of window dressing, so we'll see what kind of volume we have as this tries to get up to this 393 area, you're at 381. And the X100, that started it off today when it was down, this is Lowes, it turned, bottom line, same type of setup. The Q's went to 276, closed at 37, Q's went to 276, closed at 286, bottom line now it's going to try to get into this level of 296 and I suspect we're going to see, it's going to be ASAP, man, you're going to see the volume drop off once again, and this is going to be just a little small consolidation for lower price. And it's going to be all about this good old US dollar, folks. So the dollar showed itself in spades out here today. You talk about wide price spread, it has a monster, okay? It closed up 1357 ticks, blew everything away. The only swing point left for the dollar, folks, is the 121 where it started from in 2001 and that's when bottom line started the gold report, you know, the all-time high inside the index is 121.020, which was generated in the summer of 2001. Bottom line, we went straight down and then we made a low of 70.69. Can you believe that? And that was a 2008. Now the bottom line, this thing wants to go for these highs and I suspect it's going to actually not only go for them, it's going to make it. That's how it's set up. And if we go over to the Euro and you know, if you decide you want to take a vacation in Europe, you know, in the next year or two years, well, you can start getting ready for it because the Euro right now is at 102 and what you're going to see here is that this was a decisive breakout here today. This Euro, you know, looks to me like it has game on the 87, you know? So it's out there, there's nothing left but 87. That's the bottom line, you know, it's got an air pocket. Have a great night, folks. Have a safe night. Come back and visit Tommy tomorrow morning, kicks us off 9 o'clock in the morning. Great show, folks. Yeah, look at him, folks.

just was like amazed at you know how kind she's beautiful she's very vibrant vivacious and and instead of an outgoing personality but not overly outgoing type of thing just really really nice and Melissa 55 what can I say about Melissa she she is beautiful I think with Melissa she's one of those kindhearted people that always sees the best in everyone and always looks for the best I don't think there is a critical bone in her body I really don't I think she she's the type who's always looking at everything the glasses have full and looking for the best in people and sometimes when you look for that that is what you find I believe and that I think is Melissa she's just super super kind I don't think she could say no to anyone I shouldn't say that there's just a feeling I got but she's super super kind and when her and Kristen showed up you know we knew they were coming obviously and but when they showed up and we ran I read out to the kind I was filming it I didn't get it all

going to stop there good morning mr koala wally good morning good morning my brother all right so uh great weekend yes we did thanks for joining us let's get straight to it which of the stories would you like to start from as usual most of the stories are to find in the paper this morning are all stories that are not very clear here at all the paint is a very very gloom picture it's a big story for the nation at war with itself but let me first and foremost start with the gaseous story some country i mean some company that now produce gas are planning to move to some other wetland countries where prices are cost of production are lower this wouldn't be the first time we have in this kind of experience you know in the past companies like don't know what are you and some pharmaceutical companies located in located to garner because of our cost of production in nigeria you also recall it on twitter rather than put it with something kind of national office in nigeria they decided to put it in a tiny country like garner all these things are happening at the time in which nigeria is the unemployment rate it has to be 30 percent the second largest in the world so the implication is that foods are being taken from nigeria and put on other people's table and when such things happen we can expect more poverty more unemployment or more social crisis within the nigerian political the second soldier i would like to deal with has to do with the primary election of the two foremost political parties in the country both the apc and the tpp before now over the past two years said that the apc in particular most of the political parties that we have in nigeria are called groups and not parties in the recent of the world because there is transparency in the way and manner they conduct their operations when they give you a notice their parties and congresses are going to be held in a particular place you can be sure to not be held there it is held in some other places and in the process they would disfacelize most of their members and rob some of most of the candidates that they have collected money from to purchase their forms uh without returning such money when a party or when parties are themselves not settled and they are disdefacing how can they find solutions to nigeria's problem because if a man or a family cannot resolve the little domestic problem that he has he may go now though how could he be a mediator for dispute resolution in other people's families this is another conundrum that the nigerian state says then you have the petrism land make off each two thirty two uh billion and so this is rise to five hundred and fifty eight this is another self uh future thing julian if all our refineries are working and we don't require to import petroleum products they wouldn't be paying too much for this uh product but all efforts to get the refineries to work as leaders know assist their troops and to further combine the problem a government that is likely to most of that will leave in 2023 has awarded counter for the turn around maintenance running to billions on that uh of the multi born nigerian refinery and this turn around maintenance is not likely to be completed on i mean on to the next six years why will the government be awarding the counter that it's not the organ to survive and which will not be completed until another six years how do you get people that will take this contract to account for the money when those who gave them the contract are never going to be in power this is another conundrum very peculiar to nigeria as a nation so many people have also been giving uh the finally licenses to produce a fuel product in nigeria and it is said that many but how many of them have actually embarked on the production process except the gangote refinery the truth of the work is that they take these licenses not because they're interested in producing any running any refinery they take it with the intent that they might get something who will buy those licenses from them uh in dollars and then they make a billion or millions of dollars overnight you will remember that gangote collected a license to run the gsm or telecommunication company and he didn't do it he will give you ordinary paper by the ambassador again he sold the paper and made billions of a dollar overnight all right this is what the nigerian elite do to us as a people so all those who got the license to also all the primary except gangote the work group they have the samad group all right mr. Mr. Calawale mr. Calawale um yes please um i mr. Calawale can you hear me i'm hearing you yes see about the situation in the niger delta um i don't know if you read the statements from the group they say they're launching a new operation called operation humble and that they were going to begin to target political part political leaders who basically side with the government to their detriment and of course attack oil installations in the country because the niger delta is is no underdeveloped and i want you to um bringing your perspective on this issue and the reaction to by the president as we've seen in other papers including the daily son he says buhari begs niger delta avengers threats of bombing unnecessary what i am not surprised that the agitators in the niger delta area i also come up to say look they want to resume hostility in those places the reason is not perfect most of the promises that are made to the niger delta people have not been fulfilled for example there was a promise that most of the communities which are the royal village will be clean off especially ogoni land you will collect that cancer and several of his other colleagues about this of them pay the supreme sacrifice sacrifice their life from the same that the nigerian nation to stop polluting their environment if we are the nation has been proactive we will in the first instance not allow any condition to take place in the niger delta if we are a nation of proactive people the gas flaring that we are doing the niger delta speaks of the environment and makes me the condition very deplorable for the people of those places who not have happened if we are do very good schools and massive massive housing projects and gurus for the people of the niger delta they probably will not be having that kind of agitation in those places and not a injustice will consequentially leads to violence and not enough of agitation nigeria nation requires to do justice to the people of the niger delta the begging from the presidency for me is neither here nor there there's a deficit struggle between the nigerian people and their leadership and the reason is when the leaders tell you they are going to this election you can we try it is another direction that they are going so all those begging will not deal with the people of the niger delta and if you now say you are able begging the niger delta militants and nor that why can't you also beg and resist with the ipod people because the grievances of the ipod people and that of the niger delta are similar the basis of all those agitation is the industry that are nearest in the system that to take resources from a particular section of the country and use it to develop some other sections so and what is good for the gurus should also be good for the all right so basically you're saying the government is being biased in how it's handling the agitations from the niger delta region and the southeast absolutely absolutely you and i look at the clinical position which is the so-called lucy the special forces and the army have been dealing with the ipod people and killing innocent evil children and the evil youth why haven't they and why haven't they mobilized the army their special forces and nor that the niger delta as well they will not do that because oil is thicker than blood they need the oil to be able to sustain themselves in power or i'm sorry about that and they will not want to use like them in the night oh the agitations on the niger delta haven't started yet and i don't think it's necessary yet for the army to be sent anywhere to the niger delta but thank you very much i would have to wrap up here so we can move on to other things thank you for your monday morning time and for speaking with us this morning thank you have a great day okay are we done yeah well we will have to wrap up here now i'm sacula welly thank you very much we'll take a short break when we come back we're moving into history and of course sharing with you things that happened on this day the 28th of june many years ago stay with us


Hi friends, I am Poodwa and today we will work out the following question. In the following, find the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the origin. 2x plus 3y plus 4z minus 12 is equal to 0. Let us begin with the solution now. Now we are given the equation of the plane is 2x plus 3y plus 4z minus 12 is equal to 0. Or we can write this as 2x plus 3y plus 4z is equal to 12. Let the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular of point P from origin to the plane B x1, y1, z1. Then the direction ratios of line OPR, x1, y1, z1. Now writing the equation of the plane in normal form we have 2x upon under root 29 plus 3y upon under root 29 plus 4z upon under root 29 is equal to 12 upon under root 29. Where we have under root 29 is equal to under root of coefficient of x whole square. Now in this equation coefficient of x is 2. So we have 2 square plus coefficient of y whole square that is 3 square plus coefficient of z whole square that is 4 square. Here 2 upon under root 29, 3 upon under root 29 and 4 upon under root 29 are the direction cosines of OP. Now here this equation is of the form Lx plus My plus nz is equal to D which is the Cartesian equation of plane normal form and here L, M and N are the direction cosines of the normal and D is the distance of the plane from the origin. So here we get 2 upon under root 29, 3 upon under root 29 and 4 upon under root 29 are the direction cosines of OP. Now since the direction cosines and direction ratios of a line are proportional we have, now here x1, y1 and z1 are the direction ratios and 2 upon under root 29, 3 upon under root 29 and 4 upon under root 29 are the direction cosines. So we get x1 upon 2 upon under root 29 is equal to y1 upon 3 upon under root 29 is equal to z1 upon 4 upon under root 29 is equal to k. The k is some constant so we get that is x1 is equal to 2k upon under root 29, y1 is equal to 3k upon under root 29 and z1 is equal to 4k upon under root 29. Now substituting these values in the equation of the plane we get 2 into 2k upon under root 29 plus 3 into 3k upon under root 29 plus 4 into 4k upon under root 29 is equal to 12. This implies 4k plus 9k plus 16k is equal to 12 under root 29. This implies 29k is equal to 12 under root 29 which further implies k is equal to 12 upon under root 29. Now putting this value of k here in one we get thus putting the value of k in one we get x1 is equal to 2 upon under root 29 into 12 upon under root 29 which is equal to 24 upon 29. y1 is equal to 3 upon under root 29 into 12 upon under root 29 which is equal to 36 upon 29 and z1 is equal to 4 upon under root 29 into 12 upon under root 29 which is equal to 48 upon 29. Thus the coordinates of the foot of the perpendicular are 24 upon 29, 36 upon 29 and 48 upon 29. So we have got our answer as 24 upon 29, 36 upon 29, 48 upon 29. Hope you have understood the solution. Bye and take care.


The All-Marine Seated Volleyball team is heading home from the Warrior Games with Silver. After dropping the first game against the Army in the final, the Marines battled back and took game two, forcing the match into a decisive third game. We just came out, we probably had it because we beat them once before and we just came out too easy, didn't play our game, we let them take advantage of us, they just kept on getting tips, we kept on playing their game instead of ours and we just couldn't come back from it. Hopefully we can come back next year and we can take the gold again. We're playing our title. Still, the Silver medal counts big for the Marines as it's another tally towards claiming the Chairman's Cup for the third straight year.
