Hello everybody, and welcome to our webinar. Welcome to the new TechSoup.org. Today's webinar is going to be pretty short in relation to the usual webinars that we have. It's only going to be about 30 minutes. So a little bit about the webinar tool that we are using today. We are going to be using ReadyTalk. And so if you have any questions, go ahead and just type those into the chat pane. That should be on the left-hand side of your screen. We will try to get to your questions today. If for some reason we don't get to a question or two, we will try to follow up with you after the webinar. And if you do, you should be able to listen to the audio via your computer today. But if you would like to, there should be an alternative phone number that has been shared with you in your confirmation email that you used to join us today. So just as a reminder, we are going to be recording today's session. The recording is going to be shared with you via email. It's also going to be posted on our new website. So if for some reason you need to leave, a little early today you can go ahead and join us at that. You can go ahead and watch it at a later date. So again, this is WelcomeToTheNewTexSoup.org. Thank you guys for all joining us today. We're really, really excited about our new site layout that we unrolled just this week. My name is Kyle Huntigan. I'm going to be your facilitator today. I'm the Web Crown Program Manager here at TechSoup Global. With us today is Patrick Duggan from TechSoup and Laura Franklin from NVIDIA. They're going to be talking a little bit about the navigation and all the great things that you can do with our new site layout. And also assisting with chat today is going to be Becky Weekend. So you might see her name pop up in the chat pane. And so say hi to Becky, everybody. So a little bit about today's agenda. Again, I'm going to be introducing TechSoup just in case you are not familiar with us. We want to go ahead and thank Microsoft for all their contributions to our new website, search navigation, and everything like that. And we're going to be talking about the navigation of the new TechSoup site which of course is still at www.techsoup.org. And then we are going to be taking a look at any questions that people might have today. So again, a little bit about who TechSoup is. TechSoup is part of TechSoup Global. And we do want to make sure that all nonprofits, libraries, and social benefit organizations have the technology and technology knowledge that they need to fulfill their mission. And we are like many of you, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. And we do serve thousands and thousands of organizations by providing technology donations as well as technology information and resources to them to help them do what they need to do. So briefly I'm going to hand it over to Laura so she can talk about Microsoft's great contributions. Before we get started with our walkthrough today, we just wanted to thank Microsoft for its support in this project. The new TechSoup.org website is built on Microsoft technology. SharePoint is the CMS we use. And Microsoft's fast search for SharePoint technology powers the related content features that we will be showing you in today's tour. Okay, great. Thank you, Laura, for that. And at this point, I'm going to go ahead and let Patrick take it away by sharing his desktop and showing you around our new site. Thank you, Kyla. And hello, everyone. Welcome to the new TechSoup.org. We're going to start you on the home page today. Our redesigned home page is a true representation of everything that TechSoup has to offer as a nonprofit community, including our product donation programs, our learning resources, and our nonprofit community. As you can see on the sleek new home page, we've made it as user-friendly as possible. As you scroll down, you can see our most recent articles and how-to's. These include our learning tool kits for nonprofits and charitable organizations and libraries. We have our TechSoup community highlighted right on the home page, as you can see with some of our featured forum posts and the TechSoup blog. As we move further down, you can see some of our featured webinars as well as some of the top products from our product donation programs like Microsoft, Adobe, Intuit, and Microsoft again. On the side, we're highlighting some of the solutions that we've put together for nonprofits and charities and libraries such as fundraising, apps and mobile resources. And we've also included some of the many projects that TechSoup Global works on. TechSoup for libraries, for example, where we custom design learning resources and donation programs for libraries, and also try to foster the broader library community, our NetSquared project, as well as NGO Source and GuideStar International. Now the really cool new thing about the new TechSoup is the navigation. We've been trying to make all of our donation programs, solutions, and educational resources as accessible as possible. So if you look at our new navigation, we have this handy browse by where you can browse by donor partner. So for example, if you know the donor partner that you've come to TechSoup looking for, say Microsoft, you can quickly find them here, skip over, and then voila. You're at the overview of our Microsoft software donation program. And we collect products in here as well as related articles and how-tos. So unlike with the previous site, we now have everything, our products, articles, how-tos, forums, webinars, blog posts, all brought together into one handy browse. We can also browse by solutions. For example, fundraising. Perhaps you've come here to learn more about fundraising technology for your organization. On the new fundraising solutions page, we've collected our fundraising product donations. So in this case, you could browse by donors and grants. You can look up online fundraising resources, or perhaps you're interested in processing payments and donations, maybe at events or mobily. We also have related fundraising articles, how-tos on the side, blog posts, our forums, so you can ask fundraising questions. And also you might be thinking, well, what's available to my particular organization? Maybe you're interested in TechSoup.org but you're not sure what's available to you. So we have also included a browse by organization type here. So let's say that you're involved in health services. On this page, you can see as a health services organization what the top programs are for this particular type of organization. So in this case, it's the semantic donation program into it, GrantStation and Citrix. We also have collected all of the donation programs that you may be eligible for, including, and we've also included other related content, articles, blogs, and how-tos to help you make technology decisions for your organization. The types of tech planning and tech products that are needed by a health services organization could be different from a library, a scientific research organization, a youth organization, for example. So in addition to the new browsing, we wanted to really highlight the search box. So let's say that you know the particular product that you're looking for. So I'm an organization and we're considering upgrading our operating systems to Windows 8. So I come in, I'm like, okay, Windows 8, let's see what TechSoup has. So as you can see, we've returned over 60 product donations available to 501c3s in libraries, including Windows 8 Enterprise and Professional Operating Systems. And in addition to returning results about Windows 8, you say, okay, it's great that we have these product donations available, but is Windows 8 really right for my organization to upgrade? So we have articles and how-tos available as part of the search, should you upgrade to Windows 8, things to consider. Or maybe you want to discuss your future upgrade with the community. You can head over to the Community tab and join in a discussion. Now we also wanted to mention as a lot of people come to TechSoup.org from different countries. And we're often asked, well, is my organization in Canada or France or Germany eligible for TechSoup donation programs? TechSoup is actually part of a global network. We have partners in over 40 countries and we serve countries beyond those. So if you're here from another country, you can join TechSoup and take part in our forums and blogs. Anyone in the world can take part in our online community. But if you're wondering about donation programs in your country, at the top of every page on the new TechSoup.org you can find your particular country in this dropdown and be directed to one of our many partners around the world who operate donation programs in their country. See if you qualify for their programs. So we've spent a bit of time navigating through the many, many ways to find products on the new TechSoup.org. But we also wanted to highlight our learning resources as we saw down here in the navigation in the articles and how-to's. TechSoup has many, many learning resources which you can now find in the support section. So in our navigation you can go to support. And if you're looking for articles and how-to's or webinars, they're really easy to find. Under the new articles and how-to's section we have some of our more recent articles. You can also browse by how-to's and solutions within our learning resources. So if you're interested in learning more about fundraising for your particular nonprofit or maybe you're interested in servers and networks, servers can be a big topic. And if it's something that your organization is considering, we can help you break down how to network your organization. Also within our navigation we have a new section devoted to installation and licensing of product donations. As you know, all of TechSoup's donations are provided through the generosity of our donor partners. And all of the donation programs are actually separate donation programs for all of our donor partners. So many of our products are downloadable. This means that they need to be downloaded, installed, and licensing needs to be configured. And we have all kinds of handy walkthroughs, articles that we've gathered together in this section. If you're wondering about fulfillment for your particular donation, you can browse by a donor partner here in the fulfillment section and get more information about how to use your product, how to install it, and other related resources around it. And lastly, as we go across the top now, you can see our community forums and blogs, of course, highlighting that. We also have community voices. That would be you, our members, who want to give us feedback or communicate with us. And community initiatives, our community here does a lot of events, both in person and online. And you can access all of those here, soup recipe. Lastly, contacting us. So really simple now, you're wondering, you have a question for our client services team, or perhaps you have a PR question, or you're an organization that's looking to donate technology to the nonprofit community. We have really a quick way for you to contact us here on the new Contact Us page. You can find our main office easily, Contact Client Services, our press office, anything. And that is a quick overview of the new TechSoup.org. So to highlight some of the previous features that were very, very popular on our old TechSoup.org, we've kept all of the resources that our users told us were most useful to them and added some more. So for new users, we have the Joining TechSoup section that really walks through joining as an individual, registering your organization. Checking donation eligibility, and going through the entire donation request process. It's also highlighted on every page. On the home page, you'll see this little box that says how to join and how to get product donations. We've broken the process down into six simple steps to walk new users and existing users looking for a refresh on how to get product donations through TechSoup. One of the other features, the FAQ for product donations is under support. And that is a very good resource for those of you who are using the product donation programs or looking for more information from TechSoup. We've revamped this a little bit to make it a little easier to browse from the old version, but all of your questions around joining, registering, qualifying, account access, program rules, and eligibility, donation planning, and fulfillment information. We've got a very, very robust FAQ here. So please browse through and take a look. One of our goals with this project was really trying to make accessing information easier for new and existing users. So we hope we did that for you. Great, thank you both. Really quick, if anybody has any questions, please go ahead and type those into the chat pane because we do want to go ahead and let you guys have the information that you want to have. One thing that's come up is whether or not once you log in to the website if that looks different, or if that looks very similar to how the old site looks. I don't know, Patrick, do you want to go ahead and answer that? So as with the remainder of the website, the look and feel of the site was completely updated, but once you actually log in to the new website, you'll find that the navigation is still the same. Everything has the same name and your account management beyond the login, managing your organization's profile and form profile, looking at your product donation history. Everything beyond the login is still the same for you. Great, thank you. And also, something that some people have been wondering about, I know you showed that in the browse by section that you could select organization type and there was library section. Is the TechSoup for libraries page still a separate entity or is all of that information now on TechSoup.org? Good question. So TechSoup for libraries is still a separate entity. It's part of the TechSoup family, but the actual TechSoup for libraries page is still its own thing. That page really does foster a broader community within libraries. And we want to keep that project as its own thing. We elevated libraries within TechSoup.org's navigation to make it easier for libraries to understand what TechSoup donation programs they were eligible for, and also to highlight some of the specific learning resources on TechSoup for libraries. But the TechSoup for libraries still continues on. Okay, great. Thanks. We also had a question asking if somebody uses a remote server and they're not very happy with the customer service or the performance. Do you offer this type of remote server? I think I would have to know more about their particular situation, but we do offer quite a few products through the Cisco donation program here that might be of interest to them. Okay, great. Thanks, Patrick. And we'll go ahead and try to reach out to that person and see if we can get some information about those products. Another thing that I was wondering or another question that has come in is how to best find information for a small nonprofit, and whether or not you can really do a good search, or if there's any kind of browse by feature for the size of a nonprofit. So if you're a small nonprofit, and that could be small in terms of size or budget, or maybe you're just a new nonprofit, you've just gotten your 501C3 status and you're now considering technology investments, I would say that the browse by solutions on the new TechSoup is the best resource for you. I know off the top of my head that we have a lot of resources around helping new nonprofits get off the ground on our TechSoup blog where we round up information and product donations. I would suggest in this case the browse by solutions is a good place to start.  And by browsing by solutions on the newtechsoup.org you can review not just the product donations available to you, but also learning resources to help you understand what your nonprofits needs probably are. There's a lot of technology out there to accomplish a lot of things, and you want to make sure that you're making the best investments, especially with the limited budget, or scope, or personnel, or resources that new nonprofits often have. All right, great answer. We have some of you interested in the eligibility check tool, and I was wondering if you could show that. Sure, going to share my desktop again. So on the newtechsoup, under Joining TechSoup, navigate down to Check Donation Eligibility, and this tool is designed to help organizations understand what donation programs they're most likely eligible for.  Let's say you're located in my home state of New Hampshire, and there are use activities. Now we also want to know what your subtype is. Let's say in this case that you are in your camp, and your annual operating budget is $500,000. Oops, I included a comma. So you check your eligibility to see which donation programs you're likely eligible for. Based on the organization type and budget you entered, here are the donor partners who have likely made their product donations available to you. Now at this point you still have to register your organization and send in your qualification paperwork to us so we can verify your eligibility for programs. But right off the bat you can see that your youth organization is eligible for quite a bit including refurbished computers, accounting tools from Intuit, Microsoft programs, Adobe programs, Citrix Online programs for example, security software. So yeah, that is how the Check Out eligibility tool works. Kami, we also have some questions. People are wondering if people see something wrong or broken with the new website, how can they report those problems? Great question. So we actually set up a special forum in our community section to collect all of the feedback that our users have on the new site. As with any new technology and new website, there is of course going to be a couple of minor things that need to be reported. So if you navigate to our forums you will be able to find our reporting forum for the new site. And in addition, if you just want to jump to the TechSoup home page, this initial spotlight box where we profile some of our initiatives that are happening and what's new with our donation programs, from that spotlight box you can navigate to a blog post where we detail in greater detail everything that went into the new site, what our thinking was behind it, some more detail here. You can see the original CompuMentor site from 1987. And at the bottom is a link directly to the forum to let us know what things you've encountered. And also if you have any suggestions for enhancements and things that we can add to the TechSoup site to help you get more from it. You also have some questions about just the downloads and keys sections. I'm wondering if they see that section. Are all of those products immediately available to the person seeing it? Or is it just what they were awarded that they can actually access? I don't think I understood the question completely. But in the Download Support section, so in the Download Support section, let's say you go to Installation and Licensing. What we've collected in that section is installation and licensing support for all of the donation programs available on TechSoup. So as with any of our programs, when you place a donation request for a particular product, you will receive email confirmation and further instructions about installation and licensing. But let's say that email gets misplaced or you have further questions about how to use a product, you can quickly navigate to installation and licensing on TechSoup and get more information about the download process about certain download functions that are particular to each donation program. If you go to our Download Breakdown article also, you can find out, for example, some donations that are downloaded are very large files, and you can get more information about the best way to download those types of files generally. So this section is available to anyone, and all of our donation programs are collected in it, and there's also just general information about downloading software and setting it up on your system. Okay, great. Thank you. With that, we're almost at the half-hour mark which would be the end of our webinar, so I'm going to go ahead and take control back. I do want to go ahead and thank both Patrick and Laura for being here to provide this great demonstration of our new website. If you do have any other questions, feel free to contact us. You can go ahead and forward any other questions afterwards to me. I'll put my email in here right now, and I can get that to the appropriate people. And I also want to go ahead and thank Becky Weekend who's been greatly handling the questions on the chat end. And I do want to thank all of you for taking the time to go ahead and join us today. I know that your time is very precious, and I really, really appreciate you spending some time with us. And finally, I want to go ahead and thank our webinar sponsor ReadyTalk for providing the tools that we've provided these webinars with. And of course, one other great big shout-out to Microsoft. Thank you, Microsoft, again. And at that, I'm going to go ahead and end today's session. Please go ahead and fill out the survey that's going to pop up in your screen when you close today's session. That survey will also be emailed to you after the webinar along with a recording of this webinar and any other links or resources that we find that would be helpful for you. So with that, thank you for joining us today. And I hope you guys all have a great day. Thank you.

No. He ain't gonna do that.  For real. We already looked up the killer.  He might have just been somewhere like, bro, somebody left the keys in his van. I don't sell cocaine, so I got to give him some out. Hey, I paid. The Kelly Blue Book value is $1,200. If I see you ship for $2,50, then I know I can sell things out. Hey, man.  Kelly Blue Book on the car is $1,200 in mint condition. Kelly?    I don't know for a fact. This nigga gonna put money in this car. What man, that car, $85,000.  Hey, man.    You ain't humble.   Yes, I didn't put money in my van. That's why I'm bagging it up. What you put in there? I'm bagging whatever I'm selling, Joe. You got to be able to stand on that.  What you put in there though?  But hold up. I got receipts for everything I bought. Oh my God. I got a receipt for that one, too. What you do to the van?  That's how to clean. I got the pink slip. That motherfucker in my name. I can show you all the investments I made to make bad work. But I can show you the receipts, the tune-ups and all that. Get it right. You done did all that, man. Man, that motherfucker. Listen, if I wasn't staying this motherfucker, I would say the motherfucker to my kinfolk and know he good. I'm a bad. You're going to buy the Astro van.  But then I'm trying to tell you, it's not even in the condition that you are assuming that it's in. This motherfucker will ride. You can put groceries and be like, I'm out.  I'm living in my whip. Like, you can rip. The AC worked. Listen. The AC worked right now. Then we're going to have to turn it into what it was going to be when he bought that bitch.  That's what we're going to do. 60.  Fly. So if it blows by the van, we're going to turn it into what you were seeing when you bought that bitch in your mind. We're going to actually turn it in. All the fuckers is already ready. This is what I'm trying to tell you.  That's it. That nigga got you.  What?  What you think you got to do to the car? Everything, nigga. What you mean everything? My goodness. What is it? What is it? It's an O2. It's an O2? O2. Okay. Damn, they ain't never changed the body style of them. That motherfucker is literally the exact same one.  That means all the suspension ain't gone.   You got to have new brakes. Man. New suspension. You just turn this nigga into the yard. You got to have a tune up. You got to do the whole time in. Know the motherfucking need some gas. I don't know what I'm about to tell you, man.  Wires.  You broke it. You broke it. Hey. I know the motherfucking need some ball joints. Hey, man. Hey, nigga. Ragged opinion is just busted. I'm telling you. That nigga don't know too much about them cars, man. I got the tune up. You got to spend 4,000 under the motherfucking. That's before you even pop the hood. He said, what year is it? It's an O2. Okay. All right. Well, let me tell you, look. He's trying to go to Spain. You got to do all the suspension.  This is not a book. Carlos, this is an actual man. Nigga, I know. And to keep the bottom from falling out of that bitch, you got to spend both of it. Nigga, the car's 20 years old. I'm going to tell you right now. The tune up is good. The oil change. When you take that motherfucking to the mechanic, he's going to say, look, man, I had to cut these boats out of your van. I hope you ain't mad at me. They was just, they was all seized up.  You can't trust him.  Maybe he can't go. I'm telling you as a friend, you ain't going to need no metal. I got you.    Hey, man, the bottom of the goddamn van fell out flat. Word boy, you was driving too fast. You got cars from DC Auto. You ain't got nothing to worry about. You got guaranteed car facts. Hey, but since last week, you been driving here like the van. Tell the truth. I've been driving here like that. I know. You in it tonight? If you want to ride right now. Why do you need to bring it? And hit that big pretty guy, a pretty brick. If you need him to thirsty, he going to come all the way to the front. Why do you need to bring it up here? Because I had to put it up. Okay. I had to put it up. Because it's for sale. That's why he ain't driving. Somebody came to look at it. Really? Yeah. Thank you, Bush, you know, but he came to look at it. Well, if a nigga walk around the car, twice he ain't going to get it. No, somebody come back a bit. We done talked about it too much. If he walk around it twice, he ain't going to get it.  That's just one of a kind. It's 02. If he wasn't sold or the man you got to be sold on, go ahead and get the Astro van, man. It's ready.  Yeah. I've been looking for this. Yo. That's that thing. It's a nigga out here that's like, I'm looking for Astro van. 02. Yeah, it's a nigga. He a model. I'm willing to give you $10,000. I'm willing to do what? You can have this motherfucker. You want a picture? You mean to tell me somebody going to show up and be like, look here, DC, you really don't know what you got over there. What?    I'll tell you, bro.  You know what? Now look here.  The shell is beautiful. Well, you take $6,500. That ain't going to happen. You know what? $6,500. I don't know. I don't know. You got to play. You got to play hard ball. I'm going to go and keep that mouth open, man. I don't kind of really see myself riding in that motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? Hey, man. Nick will be like, y'all do the 72. 72. This nigga in my whole mind. I'm like, but I'm about to take that 72, man. Shit. Shit. I don't know, man. 72. That's the way. Long way from team. Goddamn, Astro. Hey, man. They said like... It's your assault, motherfucker.  Man, what? 600,000 people came?  Like, every time I come down here and the last time I came, I stayed there, nigga. It was dead. I'm talking about Haunted dead. This time, for every time I'm going on an elevator coming to the lobby, it's a group of niggas trying to get on the lobby. I'm talking about they deep young niggas just trying to get out the house.  He was like, man, we just tired of being that damn, bro. We just want to be somewhere else.  And they were from Atlanta? I don't know where they was from. They was just niggas that was deep in the hotel. Checking in to a hotel to do nothing. Niggas is from Atlanta going to check in at a hotel that stayed in Atlanta. Atlanta, yeah! It's ridiculous. People just want to get out the house, man.  I saw these pictures. They had these people at Greenberry. They said they was waiting in line to get some Jordans. Y'all niggas do that.  Who you gonna see? Where you finna go? Hey, Georgia open. Y'all can go. No, it's not. Niggas the mall open. Lennox is open. Lennox is not open.   Niggas, have you seen the people walking out? So the mall open, but the store is closed. The mall is open, but the stores are closed.  That is so dumb. Hey, but the mall is still open. The mall is open. We ain't say Foot Locker was open. We said the mall. Foot Locker is just in the mall. Everything that's in the middle of the mall is open. The kiosk. Anytime a nigga walk in here. Your phone. Oh, man. The kiosk people ain't playing. Your phone.  They didn't turn the mall into a free market. That's all you hear.  Get wild out here, man.   Let your phone crack.  If somebody gave you the kiosk and they were like, you can hustle right here. What would you sell in the middle of the mall? Shit. Phone chargers. That's it. Phone chargers. All different types of niggas. You get your personalized phone chargers. This is phone chargers. Because niggas are all... Then it's going to be a nigga that's trying to shortstop you. I can fix your phone and it's telling you to try to... Hey, it's always going to be that. But I'm going with the phone chargers. What you selling in the middle of the mall? Deal, though. Crazy. I'll make a million dollars by the phone. The key is going to be all the time, bro.  That's the thing. I ain't going to even have nothing out. Motherfuckers just want the word get out. So you're just going to be there with the clear kiosk. I was thinking about selling kuchen like the kuchen packs. No, I'm saying all I had to do was go to the drug. That's what I'm saying.  It's going to be like bamboo and liquor. Oh, my God. If women are about eyelashes out of a vending machine, I know they're about, motherfuckers.  Just be a nigga sitting there with plants on the car. I don't know what I'd sell. What would you sell, fly? I can't sell one spider still. I know what you would sell. The Astro Van.  Yeah, nah.  See, the Astro Van might turn into a promotional van. You feel me?   Yeah, on the window. That doesn't track the way too much attention. I don't know, man. I might sell Swishers. Nah, that's a good one. Just open up a big-ass box, go get a hundred pack, and sell it for a dollar. Single. Bustin' heads. Yeah. Well, we become legal. Bustin' heads, nigga. That's all you just eat. Swish your packs all around.  You like, damn, nigga. Yeah, you might as well. This is a bit of Swisher pack. Give me ten of these bitches. God damn.  You just have to buy Swishers. Go to the store. Hey, buddy. I just got the little box. Let me see it.  How you feel about 2020? What? Nigga? Shit, man. My head hurt. Boy, I'm waiting to see what the year-end wrap-up rap song's gonna sound like this year. Ooh. You gotta start.  It's gotta be an R&B song. It's gotta be something I said. The rappers, y'all can do one, but we gotta get a crooning nigga to sing about 2020. Anthony Hampton. One of them. Anthony Hampton. Anthony Hampton. You gotta do a 2020 wrap-up song because your voice is the only one that can be able to bring out the pain of this year.  They gotta do the whole thing. Something, boy. You gotta have a nigga.   Shawley.  You believe in shit? I do. You believe murder hornets? Uh-huh. It's been killer bees out here. What happened to the killer bees? See? Can you just thumb about two minutes more? You see what you just said?  You see what you just said? What? You said killer bees. Right.  Right. If you provoke them. Right. These are murder hornets.   Right.   I have to watch it in my girl, nigga. These ain't bugs.  Uh-uh. Not murder one, murder two. Murder hornets. Nigga. Not second degree murder, but they murder hornets. We get outside. We got a doctor corona and a murder hornets, nigga. That we ain't even in the summertime yet. Not manslaughter, but murder hornets.  I'm telling you. I think they found it. I'm telling my one that's still alive.  What? Fishes are part of the dinosaur. Man, listen to me, bro.  Fishing. Sharks are dinosaurs. Sharks are dinosaurs. Yes, nigga. I can see that. He was deep in his... Sharks is being dinosaur. They come up. They was around. Sharks was the only one that was around $1. Well, they was way bigger, but yeah. I didn't see no shark. I see a rhinoceros. They got this big-ass shark called a megalodon.  You ain't never seen it. Huge. And they ain't never seen it.  But they don't even know if all those bitches go. I know they led to be like 150 years old. At least, sharks. Yeah. But think about it. Rhinoceros.   Did you know that? What's it called? You been watching. Google it.  I don't know the exact name of that.  It's sticky. Glucose. Word. That's it. Glucose. Glucose.  That's the one right there.  What is it? First sharks appear 450 million years ago. That's from the 85 south. First sharks. We have a research department. Yeah. Okay, research department. Look up how long dinosaur's been here then. No, dinosaur's been here since the first day. First sharks appear 450 million years ago. That means somebody's seen it. Research department? How do you know when the shark appeared? According to research. What type of research? The most current research that's available to us. Ain't nobody seen those sharks told nobody. A nigga died from it. But you know all of this is just speculation. Right. Everything. 450 million years ago. Simon Swarms could have been here 450 years ago.  They could have been here 86 years ago. What about a hippo? Who know? You know how you know how much?  I'm just saying y'all niggas been watching that tiger king. I'm going to tell you how animals is. You know you ever seen a mutt in like a dog that was mixed with a lot of dogs? Like it's a mutt. Think about it how animals is.  What is in that blunt? And an elephant. What is in that blunt? He kind of big, you know, like an infinity truck, huh? What is in that blunt?  Don't a rhino look like an infinity truck? This nigga said a rhino. I'm through with this nigga.  For real? Man.   They needed to. They locked them up. They should be crazy, man. The streets ain't safe, man. It ain't never been safe for a nigga. Hard for a black man over here, man. At least the beginning stages of justice, it ain't over yet.   They know them to get real loose. They some tricky motherfucker.  God damn. What's my man's name?  Don't even say it. I ain't gonna say his name. I'm talking about Zimmer, man. He a hoe.   Oh, really? Just to remind you, it was normal. You want some normal? See, here you go, black man. We back to normal now.  R.I.P. Trayvon, man. R.I.P. the last they liked it.  Niggas can't do nothing out here. That's why you gotta stay prayed up and just stay with that scrap, man. That's what you're talking about, right? I'm telling you. I'm... Let me tell you something. I got so many bullets for a nigga. I bet I'll make it home.  I'm a suspect. All right. Y'all are gonna be a victim. You gonna turn yourself into a victim, sir.   All right. Morning. It's just, buddy, you know, to leave your house. I'm finna go run real quick. I'll be right back and never come back. Right, my nigga? Right, my nigga? Right, bro. Like, come on, bro. Like, come on, bro. Like, come on, bro.  You know, they be trying to say that they have break-ins over there.  What they get? A nigga will run in a look that a construct...  I want to know what a structure is. And see the construction of the house and be like, damn, how they built a nigga. He said, stop that look there. That was like... This out in the middle of the house. It started running. Nigga can't do that. This the country. These are white people who stay out in the middle of nowhere pretty much. You know what I'm saying? It's like, what was stolen? Nothing, my life was stolen.  Exactly. If you see the video, he ran across the car that realized I guess the nigga had the gun and was like, hold up, nigga, what you doing? Now he's touching it.  Oh my, bro. But that's just a cover up there. They don't never tell you what the descriptions are. And then how did the camera end up right there? How did that happen? So they can show it off to these little people that they got. Think about it. You recording. You not just... Nigga, we drive every day. I ain't now thought of that in my mind and just be driving. But let me just record behind these four cars right quick. Ever.  You dig what I'm saying? Right. I think this is a time for when the fact that we stuck in the house and you got time to really manage your mind. Take that as an example to learn how to manage the chaos around you to make your environment better. Right. Like the reality is that's an old game. They been hunting niggas for ever since the beginning. So get your mind right and get as strong as you can mentally. So if we ever are able to galvanize and come together as people been trying to get us to do for the longest time, we'll be mentally prepared for the... Right. We'll come with that. You know what I'm saying?  If you believe the bullshit, then you believe you three-fifths of a person. So you're already the elevator beyond what they wanted you to think. So now go beyond that and train your mind to be able to deal with the chaos that we already know how to manage but elevate your own thinking.  I agree. I agree. Stay prayed up, bro. Stay safe and stay knowing that is where they built for us. This country, you dig what I'm saying? You can try to maneuver your environment and understand, dictate what's going on, but you gotta understand, man. Be able to make a left and then a right step. You dig what I'm saying?  Don't put yourself in a position where a motherfucker can put you in a box. When you see the white pole, leave. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. When you see the pole, leave.    They ain't gonna improve. No point. Don't prune. End game. Leave, man, nigga.  If you can.  Yeah, I don't know about anyone. Don't even loud talk to them, folks. Man, just leave. Hey, oh, please.   Don't be one of them niggas, bro. Go home, my nigga.    It's like because all of those tools have been strategically held back from niggas' youth. We ain't never been given the real opportunity to utilize our brain power. All the times we get to show our brain power even if we are this or if a nigga, you know, get to sell dope for a couple years and be the man in the neighborhood. But that made that nigga brilliant. These motherfucking dope dealers that we didn't have over these years that made all these hundreds of millions of dollars, these was motherfuckers that could have really changed the community. So you see it's a strategic play to get a smart nigga that's not afraid of out of there. So we gotta start building more of them, man. We gotta start building more men to be able to know when to walk away, to know how to be able to take it on the chin and say, man, you know what, I'm gonna let y'all have that because I know niggas ain't nothing I can really do. I'm gonna lose every way. We gotta start instilling that into our black brothers. You dig what I'm saying? Like, let them for know, like, you got to make sure you doing what you got to do out here. You feel what I'm saying?   You got talent in it, you can make money in it.  Like, my neighborhood, it was dope dealing.  I was right. I was like, bro, my mama raised a good kid. I was a good kid. Everything I got myself into, I got myself into that shit, bro. You feel me? The screech turd me out. You feel me? My mama raised a great child. That's why I'm humble and loving.    But by me being a screech nigga, I can do it like this, though. You see what I'm saying? So it like, my mama raised a good kid, the screech turd me out. So just be you and just don't worry about what's going on. Around you, bro. You got to tap in and know what's your purpose and control it. That's deep. Man, it's important.   We ain't doing nothing. So the best thing you could do in reality is make your situation better, man.  At all. At all. Not even a little bit. No sympathy for it.   Niggas don't. And then you, that's the thing. You got to watch both sides. That too. That's the killing part. Well, okay. Okay.   Okay, niggas. All right. Now, let's take this one for example. Even with living conditions.  You see what I'm saying? Right. I would not staying like I said around black folk because I want to see other black folk doing good. It is not safe living around no white people. What are you talking about? No, what I'm saying is like, you know how you in a nice community is white people. Yeah. Then you the threat, that's the, you threaten they safe it in. I always see that too though because they don't want to see it since it's for black person. That's why I said I want to stay around black folk.  Point me out into a great suburban area. Nice and clean.  And I saying just the houses. The business that's around it. Yeah. Point it out. Wakanda. That's as good as it's going to be. Point it out. Wakanda. I'm just speaking. I ain't dying. I don't know what I'm just speaking. But when you what you just saying about my old neighborhood.   You know how when you riding, you could be clean.  You just driving down the street on the way to the grocery store. If them police get behind you, I'm clean. I know, but I'm clean. Even if I'm clean, you gotta do that. I'm clean because you gotta understand the life that we live in. It's not even about the drugs. It's been passed down. Because first it used to be because you was doing some because I was doing something.  You feel me? I'm saying this past time. I ain't got no drool. What I'm nervous for? Niggas, I'm black. Right. You don't know how they feel. Oh, this might be they stop. Niggas, this is another crime.  Man. You dig what I'm saying?  That's why I'm saying why black people, what we gotta do, and I'm going to keep hitting them in the head with the back head.   What we gotta do is spend money with each other. Once we spend money with each other, guess what we can do? Start gaining our community back. When we gank our community back, you gotta understand it's rules and guidelines. Niggas, back hand.  You need rules and guidelines. You have to go by the rules and guidelines. First of all, they created the rules and guidelines. So it wasn't for us anyway. So we got to go in there to create a system for us. Okay? First of all, we gotta get the property. Once we get the property, we gotta know we gotta get insurance.   You know who has the property? They come snatch it from us. They make us move and they snatch it from us. So what we do, we gotta buy the property back.  Each year, the property taxes are the least expensive of all the bills and everything. Just put that up so we can own our community.  We got to get past looking at each other as enemies first before we can never live peacefully amongst each other. You know what I'm saying? That's the most important part that we got to know like we see the white people in our lives not appreciated.   I'm color. Color. I color. I color. Hey man, pull me up another one. I'm color. Color.

So ultimately in this video, we will be testing out and going over everything about this one from acceleration to braking, steering feel, ride quality, sound system, exhaust clip, all that fun stuff. So having said all of that, what do you guys say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. It says, can you imagine there are several different trim levels for the 2024 RX 350? First one being the base starting at $49,950, which is a $1,400 bump from the 2023 model year. Yes, inflation has been hitting every single car manufacturer from what I've been seeing here. Premium for $52,100, premium plus for $53,950, luxury for $59,080 and the F Sport handling all-wheel drive for $58,550. And so with all of those prices, but the last one there, front-wheel drive comes standard. If you wanted to add all-wheel drive, you can do that. That is gonna bump the price up a little bit. But regardless of trim level, let you go with the power plant on the RX is going to be the same. Powering the beast is a 2.4 liter turbocharged four-cylinder, putting out 275 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 317 pound-feet of torque coming in at 1,700 RPM, power sent to front wheels or all wheels through an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters, which you guys know we will be testing out here in a little bit, zero to 60 time, approximately 7.6 seconds for the front-wheel drive, but then 7.2 seconds for the all-wheel drive there with MPG numbers coming in at 22 in the city, 29 on the highway for the front-wheel drive, 21 city, 28 then on the highway for the all-wheel drive taking premium, unleaded fuel. So before we do any kind of fun paddle shifter or acceleration test here in the RX, wanted to mention to you guys the drive modes. And so drive modes will include normal, eco, sport, and custom, and they will all be adjusted through the infotainment screen, which by the way, didn't take me that long to find this year. I think it took me a little longer last year. Maybe I got used to it, but they are pretty easy to find now. So having said that, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and find it straight away. Let's put the paddle shifters here to the test. By the way, there is a full manual shift mode as well. So I'm just going to be sliding the shifter directly to the back that is going to give me full control over the shifting end. Let's see how quickly these paddle shifters are going to react for us here. All right, so we got it in full manual shift mode. It's telling me what gear I'm in up on the digital gauges here. So in three, two, one, go. Okay, massive delight to the paddle shifters. So yeah, they're not going to be used for actually having any fun on the weekends already. But I'm still glad they're there. The reason I say that is because when it snows out here in PA as it quite often does, when you're going down a hill, rather than hitting the brakes and sliding off the road, you can actually just do a little bit of downshifting using the paddle shifters to let the vehicle do a little bit of engine braking. So you're less likely to actually slot off the road. So I do like that they're there for that reason. But let's go ahead and get back full control to the RX350 now. And let's find yet another straight away and let's see how quickly the RX350 here can get us up to speed. Alrighty, got her straight away in three, two, one, auto on. Go! That's not bad. Yeah, it is definitely not bad. There was a little bit of turbo lag at the very beginning as expected with a turbocharged four cylinder, but that's not bad. Definitely not going to have any issues emerging onto the highway. I personally didn't mind it. It definitely gets you up to speed once you get higher up in the RPMs without a doubt. But anyways, to go along with that acceleration as always breaking is equally important.  And if you were to go with that F Sport handling trim level you will actually get six piston front calipers. That's pretty nuts. That's what I had in my old four Mustang GT. As far as it's six easier stopping distance skills that comes in at a respectable 123 feet. As far as braking feel goes, it's on the softer side of things, 100%. I just got done driving the ES350. That was a much firmer braking feel, but on the RX350 it is 100% a soft braking feel as we traditionally do find in SUVs. Most SUVs at least. So it's to be expected. I wouldn't have minded though if Lexus firmed up that braking feel just a little bit. But having said that, that's six easier when 123 feet. That is a respectable number. A lot of times you'll get the 130. So you shouldn't have any issues of bringing this thing to a stop.   That's the one I always like because that monitors each shock absorber individually not only adjusting to the road and perfections giving you a much smoother ride but it is going to tighten up that suspension during heavy cornering, giving you better handling, giving you the best of both worlds. So that's the one. If you want the very best ride quality and the best handling both at the same time go with the F sport handling trim level having said that we don't have that trim. We got the luxury and it's been perfectly fine. I'm a short little test drive here today. So definitely no issues absorbing Pennsylvania's early imperfections. Like I said, no issues for me. So where steering feel goes it actually does tend to lean a little bit on the heavier side of things which kind of surprises me because traditionally with SUVs you get a loosey-goosey steering feel and this one it's not nothing crazy. It's not like a Tesla Model Y or anything but it's definitely on the heavier side of things. So I absolutely love that. So absolutely no issues there. As far as cabin noise goes get a little bit of engine noise when you really get on it but it's a very serene cabin. There isn't a whole lot of exterior wind noise or road noise coming into the cabin. I got the heat on pretty good right now. So if anything you might be hearing that but other than that, it's pretty nice. Definitely no issues there. Then touching on visibility I can see perfectly fine out the back. It is a pretty large rear view mirror there. So 100% no issues yet again and I like how the rear window wiper isn't actually fixated to the rear glass. We'll get more into that in a little bit but that adds to a little bit of visibility I guess you could say Rain sensing windshield wipers do come standard for all trim levels across the board. That's going to help out with forward visibility. So whenever the RX detects any kind of mist or rainfall it's going to automatically turn on those windshield wipers for you. So just one last thing you got to worry about there kind of like automatic headlights. So I do like that. And then with the luxury trim level and up you're also going to get a head up display and it is super bright. I'm looking at it right now. It's projected upon my windshield here gives you the speed, speed limit and safety features and the safety features are actually pretty cool.  It's just a wild thing. So even if you weren't looking at cars going to the left or to the right waiting to turn out the head up display is going to tell you if those cars are coming. It's just wild. Anyways, that pretty much rounds out the performance segment of this review you guys. Let's look ahead and take a look at the exterior of our brand new 2024 Lexus RX 350. All right, so here she is you guys the new 2024 Lexus RX 350 finished in caviar. Awesome looking color on this thing. This thing looks so cool. But anyways, just go ahead and start with where the RX is made. Take a look at the bin. First character is the number two indicating that the RX 350 is built and assembled in Canada A. But let's go ahead and start up front on this one. Overhang over that Lexus logo. That's one of the new things when this RX was completely redesigned. I'll show you guys a little bit up close here, but I don't know. I think it's a pretty cool little design cue that Lexus logo is kind of like tucked away underneath of it. So I honestly like the styling of that. But as far as the front grill goes, it's kind of body colored at the top and then it kind of meshes together with the silver portion of the front grill. I think that looks pretty darn cool as well in my personal opinion. So unique design unlike anything you really see out on the road, honestly. So LED headlights do come standard on all trim levels across the board. You get LED daytime running lights with that as well along with the automatic feature and automatic high beams. So if you have your high beams on at night and it senses a vehicle coming in the opposite direction, it's going to automatically dim them back to low beams. Then when that vehicle is gone, it's going to automatically bounce it back up to high beams for you there. So love that feature. LED fog lights down below also coming standard for every single trim level across the board. You got to love that. And front air curtains to the bottom corners there as well, just above the fog lights that should say helping direct air around the wheel and tire combination for a little better aerodynamics. So overall, the front end of the new RX looks absolutely amazing. I said that last year as well, but that pretty much rounds out the front end. Let's now go ahead and make our way to the side. All right, so now since you are around to the side of the RX 350, silver roof rails coming on the premium trim level and up rear privacy glass does come standard for all trims across the board. You just have some chrome windows around as well. Floating roof line towards the back. You guys can see that the upper chrome trim kind of just fades out into the back. It's not connected. So hence the floating roof line. Like I was saying, body color power adjustable side mirrors do come standard. They will be heated with LED integrated turn signals. Auto tail down feature does come standard. You actually do get a driver side auto dimming mirror as well. That isn't always the case even on luxury manufacturers. So that's pretty cool. As far as the wheel setup goes, 19 inch five spoke alloys coming with the base premium and premium plus trims. Then you get 21 inch alloys for the luxury and then 21 inch 10 spoke specific alloys for the F sport trim, of course, but I think the wheels look actually pretty darn good. It kind of has like this dark silver look to it. It goes very well with our caviar exterior paint. I'll just put it that way, but pretty much rounds out the side profile. Let's not go ahead and make our way to the back. All right, so now since we are around to the back of the RX, all the way to the top body colored shark fin antenna, just below that rear spoiler with an integrated brake light and tucked underneath of that rear spoiler. Let me show you guys if we can see it, but if you can't just take my word for it, there is a rear window wiper it's tucked underneath of that rear spoiler though. So therefore not a fixated to the rear glass providing a little better rear visibility when you're actually driving like I was saying. So that's pretty cool. You got the Lexus lettering spelled out horizontally, of course, LED tail lights. It's really like a big LED light bar from side to side. I think that looks pretty cool as well. And just below it all, you are going to find dual exhaust outlets. However, they are tucked away. I kind of like the look that Lexus does where they integrate it into the rear bumper, but this is kind of the style lately. So I don't know, not my personal preference, but having said that, I do believe you guys know what we have to do next as always here is that exhaust clip. All right, so but now since we are around to the back of the RX, when it comes to opening that rear tailgate, it is going to be a power tailgate for all trim levels across the board. Then a hands free power tailgate is going to be optional for the premium trim level end up. But once opened up, cargo capacity comes in at 29.6 cubic feet. If that was not enough space, there is a 40, 20, 40 split bumping that up to 46.2 cubic feet. There actually were some buttons in the cargo area to fold down the rear seats. So that was definitely convenient. You don't always find that. LED cargo lighting does come standard back there. There's some tie down anchors. There's grocery bag hooks. There's a 12 volt power outlet. You don't always find that either. Cargo cover also back there. And then if you were to lift up underneath of that cargo floor, you are going to find a spare tire along with a little bit of inflow storage actually as well. Maybe for an ice scraper or a tire inflator kit if you prefer that. But cargo area definitely had a lot going on back there. But then make your way up to the rear leg room. That is going to come in at 37.4 inches for reference. I mean, even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Rear center armrest with cup holders.  You can probably put a cell phone in there or something like that or crayons if you've got kids back there or whatever the case. So that's pretty cool. Rear ventilation does come standard. Dual rear USB charging ports so the kids can stay charged up back there as well. And heated and ventilated rear seats they are going to be optional. So optional, doesn't come standard but they are available if you wanted it. So a lot going on in the rear seats as well. Then make your way up to the front seats.  You're going to get some enhanced bolstering of course for the F Sport. New lux finish for the base and premium perforated leather for the premium plus trim level and up. Heated front seats do come standard for all trim levels across the board and then ventilated front seats for the premium trim level and up. But we actually have kind of a leather suede combination on our luxury trim and I absolutely love that with a cool little design towards the upper portion of the seats as well. So definitely a big fan of the seating in this thing. It kind of surprised me with that suede that we have but that suede has continued on to the doors and we'll get more into that later but overall as far as seat comfort goes, 100% on point. Definitely no issues there. But so then taking a look at the steering wheel it is tilt and telescoping. It is power adjustable actually for all trim levels across the board. It will be leather wrapped for all trims but there is a wood leather combination for the premium plus trim level and up. We have that. I think that's pretty darn cool. And then the premium plus trim level and up is also going to give you a heated steering wheel then as well. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the startup and let me start by showing you guys the key. You got your Lexus logo on the one side. When you flip it over lock on lock and of course that button to pop the rear tailgate there but it is all keyless entry with a push button start. So all I'm going to do here is simply put my phone to the break and press that silver engine start button located just to the left of the infotainment screen. And so once started up it is a digital gauge cluster that does come standard. And the cool thing is as you adjust the drive modes as I just did that's what that noise was. It's actually going to change the colors of those digital gauges as well. So eco is going to give you blue. Sport obviously is going to give you red and then normal is going to kind of give you like a grayish look. So they're kind of customized. Well I don't mind that. And there are some steering wheel mounting controls to kind of adjust what you want to display up there. Of course you have all the basics. There's how many miles you have left until you hit empty, trip A, trip B. There's a digital speedometer. You actually have some boost pressure out there since this is a turbocharged engine after all. So pretty much everything you could possibly want up there. But now let's go ahead and make our way to overall interior quality here. Our moon roof is going to come on the premium trim level end up. However, there is a panoramic glass moon roof that is going to be optional for all trim levels. We have that option. So that's pretty cool. The rear passengers get a view of the sky now. Multi-zone climate control, AKA tri-zone climate control comes stated for all trims as well. Ash bamboo interior trim on the premium trim level and up there is black open pour wood trim. Also on the premium trim level and up.  If you go with the luxury trim level and up. And that's why we have it today. So a lot of suede going on in here, which I personally love. Wireless phone charger for the premium trim level and up. And that is located just in front of the shifter. There's actually a good bit of storage right next to that as well. Got a couple USB charging ports, 12-volt power outlet, little bit of rubberized storage just up top. You can probably set yourself in up there if you wanted to. Just to the right of the shifter, again, everything is surrounded in that bamboo wood. You also have dual cupholders, of course. And within the center armrest, there's actually decent amount of storage in there. So absolutely no issues there. But again, I think my favorite parts. For one, we have three different colors in here, which I love. There's like a dark brown on the doors. There's the light leather and the dark leather then as well. So a lot going on there. Also you do have these electric door openers. So there's no actual door handles in the RX and that started last year. But it's just a door button. You kind of just press it and open the door and that's how you're going to open it up from the inside. So that's a little different. Some people might not be used to that. You also have homely controls to up to three different garage doors. But the coolest thing about this mirror is that when you press the button down below there, it actually turns it into a rear camera mirror. And so a lot of people wonder, why do you need that?  But if you have an exterior camera mounted on the outside of the vehicle, this rear camera mirror is actually going to be able to allow you to see what is behind you when everything is piled up to the ceiling with stuff to go to Ocean City, Maryland in or something like that. I'm just saying. But so now let's go ahead and make our way to the infotainment screen because it's about to get better. So 9.8 inch color touchscreen display for the base and premium trims, 14 inch color touchscreen display for the premium plus trim level and up, Bluetooth and audio streaming coming standard, wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay for all trim levels across the board. You gotta love that. Factory navigation system coming standard as well. You could check out ambient lighting settings up there. That's pretty darn cool. So now we'll say with that ambient lighting, it's not the very brightest ambient lighting I've ever seen. It's nothing compared to like BMW or Mercedes-Benz, but it is there nonetheless. So I kind of like the look of it. I will say that, but you can also check out your driving statistics up there if you wanted to. And of course your radio information and this is where it's really going to get good because 12 speakers does come standard on all trim levels across the board. And that should be plenty fine, but there is an optional sound system on the premium plus trim level and up. That's going to be a 21 speaker Mark Levinson sound system with 1800 watts. And that is built into our suede doors here. So that is the one that we have today. So that's why I'm excited. So let's go ahead and turn on the radio, see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. Yeah, it's overkill for sure. That is a heck of a sound system. Definitely no issues there. I did have to re-center the sound system because when I first turned it on, it was just coming out of the back. So that was kind of weird, but I did re-center it and then it was coming out of all 21 speakers. So that was pretty cool. But yeah, it sounded really darn good. So absolutely no issues with that. But last thing I want to mention to you guys on the infotainment screen is when you do put the RX in reverse, you will find a rear view camera coming standard across the board. The panoramic view monitor on the left that is going to be optional. We do have it giving you that bird's eye view, letting you know what is completely all around you, which is always is going to lead us. And to safety. And so to start, IHS top safety pick plus, which is the very highest rating given by IHS. So that pretty much does it all right there. Front side, side curtain airbags do come standard driver's knee airbag up front, passenger seat cushion airbag as well. And rear side impact airbags, which by the way is like a $600 option on BMW and Mercedes. So you got to love that.  So that gives you dynamic radar cruise control with curb speed management, love that. Pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, restraining assist, lane tracing assist, road sign assist, and a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross traffic alert. So overall, when it comes to my final thoughts here of the RX350, I love the front end design. Think Lexus crushed it with this design up front, especially finished in our black that we have today. It looks absolutely amazing. Great safety as well. You can't beat an IHS top safety pick plus. Great sound systems, especially our Mark Levinson sound system. They always crush it. Absolutely amazing interior quality. You have three different colors. You have suede finishes. You have leather finishes. You have perforated leather finishes. You have bamboo wood as well. You just have a lot going on, which I absolutely love. It's so nice as far as interior quality goes. I'm not sure you can beat it. As far as room for improvement goes, I got two things for you here. One, I wish the ambient lighting was a little brighter, a little more pronounced. Having said that, Lexus isn't known necessarily for putting ambient lighting in their vehicles. So they do like that they actually did put it in here, but it does need to be a little bit brighter. And by the way, it did turn out the brightness all the way. And then the other thing is in the back of my mind at least is I do have to question the reliability a little bit. Although Toyota and Lexus of course are known for excellent reliability, but this isn't the regular engine. This is a turbocharged engine. And traditionally turbocharged engines aren't as reliable as their naturally aspirated counterparts or even the naturally aspirated engines with the hybrid configurations. They're incredibly reliable with Toyota and Lexus as well. I'm just not sure about the turbocharged setup. That's all I'm saying, but let me know what you guys think of the RX 350 in the comment section below. That is about it for this one you guys. Thank you so much for watching.

Hello everyone this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com If you work just for 10 minutes from my place in downtown Toronto you're going to come across at least 3 Tim Hortons Tim Hortons is Canada's beloved fast-food chain restaurant which is famous for its coffee and nationwide Tim Hortons has about 5000 locations if you compare that with Starbucks or McDonald's they have about 1500 locations In today's video I'll show you how you can make Tim Hortons coffee at home I'll show you step by step process Let's begin The first ingredient you're going to require is Tim Hortons coffee I use dark roast ground coffee but Tim Hortons has regular version of coffee If you're in North America you're going to find a Tim Hortons coffee on Amazon but if you're in other countries you may or may not find it but you can check whether it is available and then in that case if you don't find it you can just replace it with other ground coffee but it's not going to be a cup of Tim Hortons coffee and the second ingredient is going to be sugar if you don't use sugar then you can just skip that and then you're going to need a creamer Tim Hortons use liquid creamer they have also the option to have milk as well but at home the creamer is going to bring up the best taste and the color of the coffee and then you need a coffee maker now there are other types of coffee makers for example you can use a coffee press or there are some other manual coffee maker but I don't know actually how to use them or I never use them so my choice is going to be a simple coffee maker it doesn't have to be anything expensive you can just buy a very simple one on Amazon for $15, $20, it's not really expensive so basically these are the ingredients I need and then you're going to start with cold water so I'm going to start with this cup this is about I would say 7-8 oz you can just like you know put in cold water so let's start with the cold water so I let the water run for a few seconds to make it cold and then I'm going to just put the water in the coffee maker and then I'm going to take coffee and put it in the filter so what I noticed that to get the best taste just like Tim Hortons you need to have about 1.75 tbsp of coffee so it's kind of like you know one full tablespoon and then 75% of full and that comes very close to the coffee you would get at Tim Hortons if you are having dark roast so I'm going to show you what I mean so by one full I mean it's going to be something like this you can see that you know this is almost full and right here so I'm going to just put it in here and the second spoon is not going to be 100% full but I would say about 75% full so you can see that you know it's not 100% full if you put in more coffee here it's going to get darker if you put in less coffee here it's going to get lighter this is my own measurement to get coffee just like the one you buy at Tim Hortons if you are buying dark roast so I'm going to just put it in here so I'll leave this here and let's close this lid so now I have everything ready and then I'm going to start brewing the coffee so it's going to take a couple of minutes or so to get the coffee ready usually I take about 2 cubes of sugar which would be about 8 g or 2 spoon but you can like you know lessen the sugar and sometimes I don't use even sugar I use honey but you know I'm just showing it with sugar because it's much easier and not everyone likes to use honey creamer would bring up the most taste and color you can use like you know liquid creamer or 10% creamer that would work too but definitely like you know if you use a powder creamer or 10% cream from the grocery stores then that would work too but if you're using milk it's going to give you slightly different taste it's not going to be like you know it's not going to bring up the full flavor and taste that's what my observation so stick to either a regular creamer and or a 10% cream milk from supermarkets I kind of like the sound of coffee brewing you know it's something I'm waiting for and then when it starts making like you know kind of and when the noise gets louder it means that it's almost finished and then you can actually get the aroma or smell of the coffee when it's brewing so that's it like you know a few minutes to wait but I just like you know a lot of waiting for coffee when it's brewing so this looks like done we have our coffee ready here I'm going to just put it in here to show you closer so here we have the cup of coffee so let's take creamer and I would start with one tablespoon first and then see you know how it goes you can see by looking at the color so let's put in first and I'm going to just you know stir it a little bit so if you look at the color still it looks a little bit dark as you can see it looks dark so I'm just going to you know put in slightly more creamer and this time you know I'm going to just try like you know half a teaspoon I'm not even trying to the tablespoon anymore so this is a tablespoon and I'm going to just try half a teaspoon to see how it brings up the flavor so let's try this now I can see that you know the color is coming really good so I'm going to just you know put in a couple of sugar so let's just wait and stir it for a bit and looks like the sugar all melted so here we have our Tim Horton's cup of coffee although it looks little bit dark because of lack of light inside the cup but it's not really dark looking it has very nice golden crispy look and let me just try it this is a perfect Tim Horton's dark roast coffee I really cannot tell any difference right now that this is I made it at home it just tastes like one of the cup one of the cup of coffees you bought at Tim Horton so we have come very close to the original Tim Horton's coffee you would buy at the store so this is your procedure to make Tim Horton's coffee at home thank you for watching this video if you like this video most likely I'm going to do some other like you know home cooking or home making stuff type of video in the future so thank you for watching I'll see you shortly


Good morning and welcome to today's products and focus US 30. There is slowly turned down this morning as it fails to break through potential resistance at 16969 for the second time most of the global markets are selling off slightly this morning there as well Obviously, I haven't reached fresh all-time highs not surprising There's a little bit of profit-taking and obviously lots of concern over Iraq and Ukraine as ever So this would be a doge information if we close at this point today Though we'd have just started a session, but 16969 is the level to watch on the US 30 Looking at the UK 100 it's selling off a bit more aggressively bearish engulfing pattern right here. We had this Ascending triangle formation we drew on there previously It might be looking like either the 21 pureed SMA or that That that trending support line might be acting as potential short-term resistance Next potential support is at 6774 The UK markets used to be suffering more than many others US the Germany 30 is down about 86 points or point 8 5 The UK 100 is actually down a little bit less now So the German market selling off even more aggressively as we speak this morning Japan 20 5 also posting a bearish engulfing pattern We could be looking at retracement back down to potential. This was potential resistance now reversing to become potential support 15 219 is the level to look at and we are a long way away from the next potential resistance, which is 15 8 28 But it looks like we are getting a little bit of profit-taking already hit in the markets this morning Looking at US dollar Japanese YEM. It's not really that exciting, but we do have a bearish engulfing pattern here as well potential short-term support at one-on-one spot 60 next one out one-on-one spot 35 If you really want to see where the action is look at Euro yen It is selling off a lot this morning There's lots of safe haven yen buying on the back of what's happening over in Iraq with a deteriorating situation across there more towns airports border crossings now falling into the ISIS hands and I can see there already that your yen is is is going down quite a lot one thirty eight spot 47 if you're looking for safe haven FX trading looking at West Texas crude looks like we might re-challenge potential resistance at 107 spot 86 next potential resistance is at 110 if we do happen to have reversal which seems To be quite a tough ask in this climate just now the fundamentals are really supporting cruel right now You could be looking at 105, but look to 107 spot 86 as a potential resistance to look at Gold has been going great guns had a fantastic session there on Thursday one of the best days I've seen in gold for years and we could be looking at the symmetrical Triangle support level as acting as support again You can see the tips of these two candles right here the next 10 potential resistance at 1332 Gold is where most of the action is just now. You've got the double whammy of safe haven buying coupled with Yellen's monetary policy that came out in Thursday Which is all about inflation inflation reissue potential inflation reissues in the US gold is the ultimate hedge against inflation Very very popular finally breaking out there. This is a significant breakout. So keep your eyes on gold Looking at your dollar. It's drifting a little bit lower two very volatile sessions on Thursday and Friday It's struggling to move higher again today look at one spot 3568 as potential support and UK 100 not UK 100 GBP USD Broke above the five and a half year potential resistance at one spot 7048 on Thursday and Friday Peter's head above there was unable to close above there We look to be having another chance again today, but there certainly seems to be a little bit of pressure a little bit of USD Buying against these other two FX pairs So that's the level for us to break if you get a break and close above one spot 70 spot One spot 7048 that would be a significant milestone for cable. So I come a data wise We did have China PMI came out slightly better than expected nothing else really do out today Same idea tomorrow. You've got US CCI not really a massive piece of data on front on Wednesday You've got US GDP and of course crude oil inventories and you know many traders will of course be looking at crude over the next couple of sessions Keep running the charter forum as ever for more support and updates from our global analyst team And make sure you make insights part your layout and join me again tomorrow to find out what happened next
