You expect health boards to work with practices as constructively and as flexibly as is appropriate to help to manage the situation and ensure that all patients have access to GP services but there can be no denying that under this SNP government GP surgeries and our GP's are particularly overworked and overstretched.

The member will also be aware of the very significant investment that was put into expanding the primary care team, where some 4,700 additional staff were recruited to support general practice across the country through physiotherapists, phlobodomists, pharmacies services, all of which helped to support general practice, alongside that commitment that was made to recruit an extra 800 GPs over the course of this parliamentary term and into the next parliamentary term, ond we'll making good progress so on. I do recognise and acknowledge the challenges that general practice have, which is why we've been expanding the primary care team around them in order to make sure that patients can receive a broad range of services within general practice. Thank you. GPs want to keep their lists open but to do that, they risk becoming overwhelmed and can't offer the same level of service.

I am very open to looking at whether there is more we can do in order to ensure that. The potential impact that residential developments have on local health infrastructure is an issue that could be addressed more effectively through the way in which planning arrangements operate within local authorities. I am more than happy to engage with the member on that issue to see whether further action it could be taken. The cabinet secretary seems very laid back about this. He has clearly not read the words of Dr Andrew Buist from the BMA, who says that demand is outstripping capacity, GPs are working beyond safe limits, they are exhausted and they are burnt out, but the cabinet secretary acts if it is not an emergency. What new steps is he going to take to deal with this emergency before patients suffer? I am very acutely aware of the challenges here and the need for action to be taken in a matter. Andrew Buist is someone whom I have met three times within the past two weeks alone, where we have discussed these very issues. I am acutely aware of the pressures that are on general practice. I have outlined measures that we are taking in terms of increasing recruitment. The level of specialist training provision for general practice is increasing as well, so we will get more coming into general practice this year. I believe that we were oversubscribed in those who wanted to go into general practice as a speciality, so we are continuing to look at how we can increase numbers in the years ahead. We want more GPs, and of course we have more GPs in Scotland priori of population in any other part of the UK, but equally the recruitment of that wider primary care team, some 4,731 additional staff have been provided. That is physiotherapists, phlebotanists and pharmacy staff, all of whom are critical in meeting the wider demand that patients have, so that they take some of the demand away directly from general practice and allow others to get the support that they require, whether it be through a physiotherapist or whether it be through a family. To ask the Scottish Government what its position is and whether the current options available to record the relationship status of a deceased person are sufficient for the purpose of that information being accurately represented on a death certificate. The information recorded in an entry in the register of deaths is intended to form an accurate and permanent legal record. The high quality records produced by registrars form important sources of historical information and allow those research in their family past to make clear and accurate links to their ancestors. The information required is set out in a Scottish statutory instrument made by the register's general and approved by the Scottish ministers, and the required relationship information is marital or civil partnership status. I apologise to the cabinet secretary for the complexity of this supplementary, but if you bear with me, only the wife, husband or relative, of a recently deceased person has the legal right to register their death. For partners who are cohabitants, regardless of how many years they don't have this right, they must either own property of what is still loved when it's died or be present at their death, but cohabiting partners are also not allowed to be recognised in the death certificate. Apparently some registry officers can record the deceased as being survived by the former partner who they divorced many years ago, and that is the key point. Does the Scottish Government consider that to be right in such cases or, in fact, accurate if they have been long divorced? Could that happen where there has been an abusive spouse? I just raised this question. If the deceased's status was of divorce and has a surviving partner, perhaps there is no need to record the former relationship. I wonder if the Scottish Government can raise awareness amongst cohabitants. I must know what we need to get to the question to the cabinet secretary, please. And that registers should be sensitive to these cases. Cabinet secretary, I hope you managed to get it. Presiding Officer, this is indeed a somewhat complex matter. It's a matter that the Scottish Government has given some consideration to because we've had a number of correspondences on this matter. Essentially, because we recognise that many couples today live together in enduring relationships and, indeed, this is becoming more confident. However, if we had to allow cohabity or cohabitant to be included in the entry of the death register, there are some complications around us. I'm happy to write to Ms McNeill in detail. One example of complication would be that, if the register may be faced with a situation where the deceased remained legally married or in a civil partnership but was also cohabiting at the time of death, it would not be clear whether the person should be recorded as cohabiting or married. In terms of the issue around different practice, that would not be my understanding. Cabinet secretary, your time will need to write to the relevant correspondences. I call question number four, Willie Coffey. Thank you. To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its cladding remediation programme. Cabinet secretary, you surely answer of it. The safety of homeowners and residences is our absolute priority. That is why we introduced the housing cladding remediation Scotland bill on 1 November that will give ministers new powers to ensure the remediation of buildings with unsafe cladding. It is why we are seeking the transfer of powers in order to create a building safety levy. We are undertaking a robust programme of pilot single building assessments. Those assessments are being completed and remediation work is under way. I thank the cabinet secretary for that answer. At our recent local government committee, we heard that of the 105 buildings in the pilot programme, only 27 of those have had assessments commissioned and only one building has had remediation work and only one building has had mitigation measures. Can you ask the cabinet secretary to explain that progress and to give an assurance that that work will proceed at a much faster pace? When the minister for housing gave evidence to committee in May, he did acknowledge that for many homeowners this process has taken too long. The 10-year system in Scotland is of course different to the system in England. That complexity is an additional challenge for the programme, given that we do not have single building owners. Last year, the then cabinet secretary announced a change in approach to the programme, moving from a grant model to a direct procurement model, which has led to a real increase in the pace of the programme. I hope that that gives Mr Coffey some reassurance on this issue. I understand from meetings with the minister and the round table that Cokab Stewart held yesterday how challenging the issue is for the Government, but I also know from my constituents and others that people who have affected buildings really appreciate communication from the Government. Can the cabinet secretary advise whether the Scottish Government will consider proactive communications on a regular basis with affected building owners to increase awareness of the process of remediation and time skills for this? I thank Mr McPherson for his question. The minister for housing has had conversations with a number of members, as well as, importantly, our residents directly in recent weeks and indeed months since taking up his post. He is very keen to ensure that we improve communication to the homeowners of the buildings within the programme. Further to this, I understand that he has asked officials to scope several options, including regular communications on the overall programme flight path, as well as building specific communications. I would expect that to be implemented in the new year, and I am sure that the minister will keep Mr McPherson updated on progress. I have been stated in Scotland that only one such programme of works has been progressed. There is a huge amount of detail not on the face of the cladding bill with regard to the single building assessment, cladding assurance register and the responsible developer scheme. Does the cabinet secretary not acknowledge that the continued absence of this detail in the bill creates risks for those affected, both residents and home builders? Has the potential to prolong uncertainty to residents impacted? I am sure that the minister would be more than happy to go into the details of this with the member. I give but one example of the reasons behind our approach. The approach for responsible developers scheme aligns with the approach taken by the UK Government when establishing their responsible actor scheme. The UK Government also put the details of that scheme in secondary legislation. The level of detail required for the scheme is more suited to secondary legislation, but I am sure that that is a discussion that the committee will have in evidence and which the minister would be happy to respond to. To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to ensure that rural populations have convenient and appropriate access to care homes. Although we have overall responsibility for health and social care policy in Scotland, the statutory responsibility for delivering, commissioning and charging for services lies with local authorities and health and social care partnerships. We have set clear standards for the quality of care that is provided in Scotland, which includes convenient and appropriate access to care homes. I and my officials regularly engage with local partners to assure ourselves that those standards are met nationally. We are also committed to building a national care service to improve the quality and consistency of social care across Scotland, recognising the different approach that is needed often for people living in rural communities. I thank the minister for that answer. My climate house care home in Lanark is currently consulting on proposals to close the care home to fill a 20.8 million shortfall in their social care budget, compounded by Circus 18 million Government clawback from the health and social care partnership earlier this year. The next nearest council run facilities are reclated in the central belt towns of Hamilton, Rutherglen and East Kilbride. Can I ask the minister what the Scottish Government is doing to prevent the closure of care homes in rural areas that provide vital services to the community, such as my climate house care home in my constituency? As I said in my earlier answer, we set the standards for social care and we set the policy direction, but it is the local authorities who have responsibility for commissioning and delivering and charging for those services. As I said nationally, we are working towards the national care service, which I think will improve the situation both rurally and urban, but I have no locus to become involved in care home closures in local areas. Is vital a high quality of adult social care? Mr Dornan, please stop. I had actually moved to question number six, which you have. So, could we now move to question six, please? I did have a supplementary for question five. Yes, but I haven't taken it, Mr Dornan, so could you move to your own question number six? I am now going on to question six, Speaker. To ask the Scottish Government how the proposals outlined in its latest building in New Scotland paper, Social Security in Independent Scotland, which supports Scotland's social security system. Our latest building in New Scotland paper sets out how, with independence, we could build on the progress that we have already made in creating a fairer system with limited powers and demonstrates how independent Scotland could go even further. That includes introducing early reforms to universal credit, scrapping the two-child limit and rape clause, scrapping the young parent penalty and stopping the roll-out of changes to reserved ill health and disability benefits. In time, we could build a fairer system such as a minimum income guarantee, ensuring that everyone has an income to live a dignified life. James Dornan? The building in New Scotland paper outlines how future Governments in Independent Scotland might implement and build in a minimum income guarantee in a way that cannot be fully achieved within the limits of devolution. Can the cabinet secretary elaborate on this proposal and the necessity of independence to achieve through financial security and wellbeing for Scottish households? Given the fact that both the Conservatives and Labour at UK level seem to still be refusing to make changes to our welfare system, it is disappointing to see that we will have to do what we can within the settlement that we have. We have made progress on this, but, as the interim report from the MIG expert group showed, there are limitations perhaps that what can be done about minimum income guarantee under devolution. The group is producing its final report next year, and I am really looking forward to the recommendations on the next steps about what we can do under devolution, but how, importantly, it may require the powers of independence to truly allow our citizens to have a dignified social security system. Not to state the obvious, Presiding Officer, but this paper is the latest iteration of what the SNP might do in a hypothetical future and does nothing to support Scotland's social security system right now. That is the social security system that has overspent massively on IT, waits for processing claims on adult disability payment and other benefits that are through the roof and has delayed the transfer of key benefits, leaving them in the hands of the DWP. Shouldn't the Government be focused on running a properly functioning system now in Scotland rather than dealing in hypotheticals? I will give one example of how we have used our powers already, of course, through the Scottish child payment.  Isn't it a shame that Mr O'Cain's party seems quite happy to back the Tories in keeping people in poverty rather than lifting them out as we do through our own social security system? To ask the Scottish Government what action it has taken to reduce waiting times for ambulances in north-east Scotland. The Scottish Government continues to work closely with the Scottish Ambulance Service and NHS Grampian to improve hospital handover times for ambulance crews in Aberdeen-Wilham Firmary and Dr Gray's Hospital in Elgin, which is having a significant impact on response times. NHS Grampian have identified that they require additional acute capacity to meet demand in the process of opening 14 new acute beds to ease capacity pressures. 18 of those are currently operational and a further 14 are expected to open by mid-January. It is anticipated that that will improve patient flow through ARI and reduce ambulance stacking. It seems that long wait times for ambulances is being caused by ambulances queued up at Aberdeen-Wilham Firmary for hours on end. Earlier this year, my father had a six-hour wait in the back of an ambulance in severe pain, but those waits now seem to be commonplace. The ambulance drivers and paramedics are doing a brilliant job, but are being failed by this devolved Government. Will the cabinet secretary work with NHS Grampian to improve the situation and stop those excessive waits? I am sorry to hear about the difficulty that his father had with his own wait in an ambulance. Of course, it is important that we take action to address those measures. The biggest challenge that we have in terms of flow through ARI and need departments is delayed discharges in our hospitals, which prevent patients from moving from A to E into the hospital setting. That is why we are taking concerted action with our health and social care partnership to try to address those issues. There have been issues in Aberdeenshire, in particular over recent months, which we are trying to address with them to see further action. I can also assure the member that additional support services have been provided to Aberdeenshire. For example, the Scottish Armour Service has put in place additional ambulance resources in Grampian, with two new double-crewed ambulances in Aberdeen alone. One new night shift ambulance-based at Aberdeen Central Fire Station is a fully funded paramedic response unit in Elgin. A new back shift in Elgin and a new back shift in Banff. At Keith and Huntley, ambulance stations are now both operating on a 24-7 basis. However, we need to address the issue of delayed discharges within the hospital to allow flow into it. That is an issue that we are continuing to focus on with the health and social care partnerships.

This is Classics of Liberty from Libertarianism.org and the Cato Institute, narrated by Caleb Brown. Today's classic is Barry Goldwater's 1964 acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. In mid-July 1964, the Republican Party descended upon the Cow Palace Arena in Daly City, California. At the party's National Convention, a click of traditionalist conservatives surrounding Senator Barry Goldwater fulfilled their long-laid plans to overtake the GOP. After Goldwater's surprisingly energizing campaign for the Senate in 1958, a year of sweeping Democratic victories, conservative talk show host and activist Clarence Mannion commissioned Leo Brent-Bosell to author the conscience of a conservative. Mannion and Bosell agreed with Goldwater to publish the small volume under the senator's name in 1960 during that year's Nixon Convention. The conscience of a conservative launched a grassroots ultra-conservative Goldwater movement culminating in the senator's primary victories in 1964. Through a difficult and often dirty primary season, Goldwater emerged with enough delegates to handily rest the convention from Nelson Rockefeller's liberal establishment wing of the party. Goldwater delegates won their candidate and wrote the party's hardline Cold Warrior platform. In his acceptance speech, Barry Goldwater echoed the ideas from his book and magnified his vision for the Republican Party's role in world history. His bold and enduring declaration on the virtues of extremism and the vices of moderation inspired generations of conservative advocates for American imperialism. Goldwater believed deeply that America was inherently virtuous and so thought it historically necessary that Americans act to defend liberty against the evils of communism. Goldwater temporarily conquered the GOP but his loss to Lyndon Johnson was historic in its own right. Though scorned by history as an epic loser, in the decade since his convention speech virtually no one has been more important to conservative ideas and activism than Barry Goldwater. Good friend and great Republican Dick Nixon and your charming wife Pat, my running mate that wonderful Republican who has served us so well for so long, Bill Miller and his wife Stephanie to Tristan Morton who's done such a commendable job in chairing this convention, to Mr. Herbert Hoover, whom I hope is watching and to that great American and his wife, General and Mrs. Eisenhower, to my family and to all of my fellow Republicans here assembled and Americans across this great nation. From this moment, united and determined, we will go forward together, dedicated to the ultimate and undeniable greatness of the whole man. Together, together we will win. Accept your nomination with a deep sense of humility. I accept too the responsibility that goes with it and I seek your continued help and your continued guidance. My fellow Republicans, our cause is too great for any man to feel worthy of it. Our task would be too great for any man. Did he not have with him the hearts and the hands of this great Republican Party? And I promise you tonight that every fiber of my being is consecrated to our cause, that nothing shall be lacking from the struggle that can be brought to it by enthusiasm, by devotion and plain hard work. In this world, no person, no party can guarantee anything. But what we can do and what we shall do is to deserve victory, and victory will be ours. The good Lord raised this mighty Republican Republic to be a home for the brave and to flourish as the land of the free, not to stagnate in the swamp land of collectivism, not to cringe before the bullying of communism. Running against freedom, our people have followed false profit. We must and we shall return to proven ways, not because they are old, but because they are true. We must and we shall set the tides running again in the cause of freedom. This party, with its every action, every word, every breath, and every heartbeat, has but a single resolve, and that is freedom. Freedom made orderly for this nation by our constitutional government. Freedom under a government limited by the laws of nature and of nature's God. Freedom balanced so that order lacking liberty will not become the slavery of the prison shell. Balanced so that liberty lacking order will not become the license of the mob and of the jungle. Americans understand freedom. We have earned it, we have lived for it, and we have died for it. This nation and its people are freedom's model in a searching world. We can be freedom's missionaries in a doubting world. But, ladies and gentlemen, first we must renew freedom's vision in our own hearts and in our own, the administration which we shall replace has distorted and lost that vision. It has talked and talked and talked and talked the words of freedom, but it has failed and failed and failed in the works of freedom. Failures cement the wall of shame in Berlin. Failures block the sands of shame at the Bay of Pigs. Failures mark the slow death of freedom in Laos. Failures infest the jungles of Vietnam. Failures haunt the houses of our once great alliances and undermine the greatest bulwark ever erected by free nations, the NATO community. Lost leadership, obscure purpose, weakening will and the risk of inciting our sworn enemies to new aggressions and to new excesses. And because of this administration, we are tonight a world divided.  We have lost the brisk pace of diversity and the genius of individual creativity. We are plodding along at a pace set by centralized planning, red tape, rules without responsibility, and regimentation without recourse. Useful jobs in our country, our people have been offered bureaucratic make-work. Rather than moral leadership, they have been given bread and circuses. They have been given spectacles, and yes, they've even been given scandals. Tonight, there is violence in our streets, corruption in our highest offices, aimlessness amongst our youth, anxiety among our elders, and there's a virtual despair among the many who look beyond material success for the inner meaning of their lives. And where examples of morality should be set, the opposite is seen. Small men seeking great wealth or power have too often and too long turned even the highest levels of public service into mere personal opportunity. Certainly simple honesty is not too much to demand of men in government. We find it in most. Republicans demand it from everyone. They demand it from everyone, no matter how exalted or protected his position might be. The growing menace in our country tonight, to personal safety, to life, to limb and property, in homes, in churches, on the playgrounds and places of business, particularly in our great cities, is the mounting concern or should be of every thoughtful citizen in the United States. Security from domestic violence, no less than from foreign aggression, is the most elementary and fundamental purpose of any government. And a government that cannot fulfill this purpose is one that cannot long command the loyalty of its citizens. History shows us, it demonstrates that nothing, nothing prepares the way for tyranny, more than the failure of public officials to keep the streets safe from bullies and mortars. We Republicans see all this as more, much more than the result of mere political differences or mere political mistakes. We see this as the result of a fundamentally and absolutely wrong view of man, his nature and his destiny. Those who seek to live your lives for you, to take your liberties in return for relieving you of yours, those who elevate the state and downgrade the citizen, must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for divine will. And this nation was founded upon the rejection of that notion and upon the acceptance of God as the author of freedom. Now those who seek absolute power, even though they seek it to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth.  Absolute power does corrupt, and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed. Their mistaken course stems from false notions, ladies and gentlemen, of equality. Equality, rightly understood, as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences. Wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism. It is the cause of republicanism to resist concentrations of power, private or public, which enforce such conformity and inflict such despotism. It is the cause of republicanism to ensure that power remains in the hands of the people. And to help us God, that is exactly what a republican president will do with the help of a republican Congress. It is further the cause of republicanism to restore a clear understanding of the tyranny of man over man in the world at large. It is our cause to dispel the foggy thinking which avoids hard decisions in the delusion that a world of conflict will somehow mysteriously resolve itself into a world of harmony if we just don't rock the boat or irritate the forces of aggression, and this is always wrong. A strong can remain free, that only the strong can keep the peace. It reminds you, or my fellow Americans, regardless of party, that republicans have shouldered this hard responsibility and marched in this cause before. It was republican leadership under Dwight Eisenhower that kept the peace and passed along to this administration the mightiest arsenal for defense the world has ever known. It reminds you that it was the strength and the believable will that kept the peace by using our strength, by using it in the Formosa Straits and in Lebanon, and by showing it courageously at all times. During those republican years that the thrust of communist imperialism was blunted. It was during those years of republican leadership that this world moved closer, not to war, but closer to peace than at any other time in the last three decades. And I needn't remind you, but I will, that it's been during democratic years that our strength to deter war has stood still and even gone into a planned decline. It has been during democratic years that we have weakly stumbled into conflict, timidly refusing to draw our own lines against aggression, deceitfully refusing to tell even our own people of our full participation, and tragically letting our finest men die on battlefields unmarked by purpose, unmarked by pride, or the prospect of victory. Yes, yesterday that was coming up. Tonight it is Vietnam. Make no bones to this. Don't try to sweep fish under the rug. We are at war in Vietnam. Who is the commander-in-chief of our forces refuses to say, refuses to say, mind you, whether or not the objective over there is victory. And his secretary of defense continues to mislead and misinform the American people, and enough of it's gone by. I needn't remind you, but I will. It has been during that a billion persons were cast into communist captivity and their fates cynically sealed. Today, today in our beloved country, we have an administration which seems eager to deal with communism in every coin known, from goal to weak, from consulates to confidences, and even human freedom itself. The American cause demands that we brand communism as the principal disturber of peace in the world today. We should brand it as the only significant disturber of the peace, and we must make clear that until its goals of conquest are absolutely renounced and its relations with all nations tempered, communism, and the governments it now controls, our enemies of every man on earth who is or wants to be free can keep the peace. And only if we remain strong, only if we keep our eyes open and keep our guard up can we prevent war. Take this abundantly clear. I don't intend to let peace or freedom be torn from our grasp because of lack of strength or lack of will, and that I promise you Americans, we must look beyond the defense of freedom today to its extension tomorrow. The communism which boasts it will bury us will instead give way to the forces of freedom. I can see in the distant and yet recognizable future the outlines of a world worthy of our dedication, our every risk, our every effort, our every sacrifice along the way. Yes, a world that will redeem the suffering of those who will be liberated from tyranny. I can see and I suggest that all thoughtful men must contemplate the flowering of an Atlantic civilization, the whole of Europe reunified and freed, trading openly across its borders, communicating openly across the world. Now, this is a goal or it's a truly inspiring goal for all free men to set for themselves during the latter half of the 20th century. I can see and must thrill to the advance of this Atlantic civilization joined by its great ocean highway to the United States. What a destiny, what a destiny can be ours to stand as a great central pillar linking Europe, the Americas and the venerable and vital peoples and cultures of the Pacific. I can see a day when all the Americas north and south will be linked in a mighty system, a system in which the errors and misunderstandings of the past will be submerged one by one in a rising tide of prosperity and interdependence. We know that the misunderstandings of centuries are not to be wiped away in a day or wiped away in an hour, but we pledge, we pledge at human sympathy what our neighbors to the South call an attitude of simpatico. No less than enlightened self-interest will be our guide. I can see this Atlantic civilization galvanizing and guiding emergent nations everywhere. Now I know that freedom is not the fruit of every soil. I know that our own freedom was achieved through centuries by unremitting efforts of brave and wise men. And I know that the road to freedom is a long and a challenging road. And I know also that some men may walk away from it, that some men resist challenge, accepting the false security of governmental paternalism. And I pledge that the America will extend its hand in help in teaching and in cultivation so that all new nations will be at least encouraged, encouraged to go our way so that they will not wander down the dark alleys of tyranny or the dead-end streets of collectivism. My fellow Republicans, we do no man a service being freedom's light under a bushel of mistaken humility. I seek an America out of its ways, out of its dreams, and determined actively to proclaim them. Our example to the world must, like charity, begin at home. In our vision of a good and decent future, free and peaceful, there must be room, room for the liberation of the energy and the talent of the individual. Otherwise, our vision is blind at the outset. We must assure a society here, which while never abandoning the needy or forsaking the helpless, nurtures incentives and opportunities for the creative and the productive. We must know the whole good is the product of many single contributions. And I cherish a day when our children once again will restore as heroes to sort of men and women who, unafraid and undaunted, pursue the truth, strive to cure disease, subdue and make truthful our natural environment, and produce the embedded engines of production, science and technology. This nation, whose creative people have enhanced this entire span of history, should again thrive upon the greatness of all those things which we, we as individual citizens, can and should do. And during Republican years, this again will be a nation of men and women, of families proud of their roles, jealous of their responsibilities, unlimited in their aspirations, a nation where all who can will be self-reliant. We can see in our constitutional form of government the great framework which assures the orderly but dynamic fulfillment of the whole man. And we see the whole man as the great reason for instituting orderly government in the first place. We see, we see in private property and in economy based upon and fostering private property, the one way to make government a durable ally of the whole man rather than his determined enemy. We see in the sanctity of private property the only durable foundation for constitutional government in a free society. And beyond that, we see in cherished diversity of ways, diversity of thoughts, of motives and accomplishments. We don't seek to live anyone's life for him. We only seek to secure his rights, guarantee him opportunity, guarantee him opportunity to strive. With government performing only those needed and constitutionally sanctioned tasks which cannot otherwise be performed, Republicans seek a government that attends to its inherent responsibilities of maintaining a stable monetary and fiscal climate, encouraging a free and a competitive economy, and enforcing law. Do we seek inventiveness, diversity and creative difference within a stable order? For we Republicans define government's role where needed at many, many levels. Preferably though, the one closest to the people involved. Counts in our cities, in our counties, in our states, in our regional compacts, and the national government. Let me remind you is the ladder of liberty built by decentralized power. On it also we must have balance between the branches of government at every level. Balance, diversity, creative difference. These are the elements of the Republican equation. Republicans agree, Republicans agree hardly to disagree on many, many of their applications. But we have never disagreed on the basic fundamental issues of why you and I are Republicans. This is a party. This Republican party is a party for free men, not for blind followers, and not for conformists. In 1858 Abraham Lincoln said this was a Republican party, and I quote him because he probably could have said it during the last week or so. It was composed of strange, discordant and even hostile elements, end of the quote in 1958. Yet all of these elements agreed on one paramount objective, to arrest the progress of slavery and place it in the course of ultimate extinction. Today as then, but more urgently and more broadly than then, the task of preserving and enlarging freedom at home and of safeguarding it from the forces of tyranny abroad is great enough to challenge all our resources and to require all our strength. Who joins us in all sincerity, we welcome. Those we don't expect to enter our ranks in any, let our Republicanism so focused and so dedicated not be made fuzzy and futile by unthinking and stupid labels. I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. That moderating the pursuit of justice is no virtue. The beauty of the very system we Republicans are pledged to restore and revitalize. The beauty of this federal system of ours is in its reconciliation of diversity with unity. We must not seem, Alice, in honest differences of opinion and no matter how great. So long as they are not inconsistent with the pledges we have given to each other in and through our Constitution is not to level out the world or make its people conform in computer regimented sameness. Our Republican cause is to free our people and light the way for liberty throughout the world. It is a very human cause for very human. This party, its good people and its unquenchable devotion to freedom will not fulfill the purposes of this campaign which we launch here now until our cause has won the day. Inspired and shown the way to a tomorrow, I repeat, I accept your nomination with humbleness, with pride, and you and I are going to fight for the goodness of our land. That was Barry Goldwater's 1964 acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention. Find more classics of liberty at libertarianism.org.


Hello, everyone. Welcome back to another Premiere Pro tutorial. In this one, I'm going to show you how to create your own Mogart file or motion graphic template that you can reuse in multiple projects. You're going to, we're going to create one and you're going to save it. So like, again, you can make it and use it and anything you want to use it in. So it goes in the Essential Graphics panel here. This one I made is called Testing and I'm going to show you how to make one and just take about 30 to 60 seconds. Let's start from scratch. All right. So to create when the first step I like to do is I go down here to the bottom and I click on New Item. And for this one, I'm going to create a black video and I'm just going to make it 1920 by 1080 because that's nice and standard high definition. And then bang, it shows up in my project panel. If you don't see this little, I guess you'd call it a tear page or earmarked page. Just go ahead and increase the size of your project panel. Drag and drop the black video in there and now we've got a background that we can create against. The next step is to basically decide what type of Mogart you want to make. I'm going to make a very simple one. So I'm going to just use this little shape tool here. I'm going to create a rectangle and then presto. There we go. I've got this weird looking red rectangle that I want. Now this is where I would want the lower third to show up or something like that. So in a case, there you go. I'm going to go ahead and I'm just going to click on Align Center horizontally. So it's in the middle and then presto. Now theoretically, you could just save this if you wanted to, but I've got to do a little bit of motion or something. So the next step here is I'm going to go ahead and grab my little move selection tool. I'm going to click on the graphic and then I'm going to go to Effect Controls. And then this is all I'm going to do because it doesn't really matter too much. I'm going to go ahead and hit the little stopwatch here on position and I'm going to move it off the screen. And then let's say at the one second mark, we're going to bring it in. So there we go. I want it to be in the screen. Let's say we want it over on the left side because it is a lower third, for example. So look at this. Here we go.  Now, of course, you can add in text. You can do all sorts of funny things, but all you need to do really is just go to the to the layer here, the graphic layer, right click on it, drop down and then underneath it, you're going to see export as motion graphics template, which I just clicked on a little too quickly. I apologize. Let's do that again. Export as motion graphics template. Click on that and then you've got some options. You can title it. I'm going to call this one Curtis just for simple reasons. And then here we go. I'm going to even save it to your local temple templates folder or your local drive. I prefer local templates folder. So I'm going to go ahead and call it Curtis and then to check that it worked. Go into the essential graphics panel here. If you don't see it, make sure there's a check mark beside it. Go into browse and then you're going to see here Curtis. So we've gone ahead and done that. So if I delete all this and then I just double just bring Curtis in. Oops. All right, Curtis. Let's get Curtis in there. This should be exactly what we just made. It is. I can use this a thousand times now. It's done. Thanks for watching.


Hi, I'm Shona Virtue. I'm 30 years old. I'm from Australia. I live in London. I am appropriately and in the name of fitness obsessed with the booty. I think the three best things about me is that I am always willing to help you activate your glutes. I'm completely self-deprecating and my humor is somewhat line-crossing, but always friendly. I've always been into fitness as a child. I was enrolled into gymnastics at the age of four years old. I stayed with gymnastics for a very long time. I went into dance and then I got into yoga and then I became a yoga teacher and a personal trainer. I love being fit because I really enjoy making the most out of life and I feel like you can't do that if you're restricted by a body that is low in energy or heavy or isn't strong. And so for me, it's just about really maximizing on what my body is capable of so that I can live life to the fullest. I would say my biggest achievement is actually writing my book and having it be a bestseller on Amazon. It's everything that I've ever experienced in gymnastics, personal training, yoga teaching, just basically my brain into the book and so I'm really proud of it. My favorite workout is making sure that my glutes are strong, so training the booty, training core, getting strong, getting fit and also making sure that I always meditate. The most expensive gym equipment item that I've ever bought would probably be my huge collection of kettlebells that I have at home. I have different colors, meaning different weights. Always hip-hop or it's classical music, but if it's sort of like a really heavy weight session it'll probably be biggie or some old-school two-pack track just to really get me fired up to lift. I don't really believe in having body goals on someone else's body, but it's all about trying to be the best version of yourself, so I don't look at someone and go, I wish I looked like her. In my gym bag there is not a lot, a booty band, so like a resistance band to help activate my glutes and I also bring my water bottle that is not plastic, say no to plastic, save the environment.  To be honest, I am quite obsessed with pizza and creme brulee. In the fridge I always have a ton of vegetables because I love them. I always have some nut milk like cashew or almond milk and then obviously always in the fridge is that little man that turns the light on and off. I don't agree with cheat days because who are you cheating on? Honestly, what are you cheating on? Cheating on your diet is your diet a thing, a person that your diet is just supposed to be there to nourish you. So sometimes you nourish the body and the mind with really healthy foods to give you enough energy and then other days you need to nourish your soul with a really well-cooked French creme brulee. So there's no cheating going on.


One of USA's four-man Bobsled teams has three soldiers competing. They're among the biggest and strongest athletes on Team USA and Pyeongchang. Sergeant Justin Olsen is the pilot. He's six-foot-two and 235 pounds, a three-time Olympian and gold medalist from the 2010 Vancouver Games. I think we have a unique dynamic, so I'm typically high intensity every day. And when I'm racing, I'm pretty calm. Carlo, Nate and Chris are pretty even chill all day and then for racing they're a little bit, they bring that crazy side. Captain Chris Folk is the team's breakman. He brings six feet and 205 pounds to bear on the breaks, along with a lot of experience. He's a three-time Olympian who won a bronze medal at the last Winter Games in Sochi. We train extremely hard. We're in the weight room four or five times a week. We're sprinting three or four times a week. That translates well from the Army because the Army, you work very long days, you work very hard. There's times you're in the field, there's times you don't eat for a couple of days, and you realize the mental toughness that you can do hard things if you put your mind to it in Bobsled the same way. Sergeant First Class Nathan Weber is a special forces medic. At six foot, he puts 223 pounds of muscle into pushing the sled. You could say I'm a little bit of an adrenaline junkie. I wouldn't recommend anyone take it as far as I do because running through gunfire, mortar fire is probably not the best idea, but here I am today and I'm super excited about that. So Nate brings a little bit of the crazy. He just got back from a deployment and he was right in the back of the sled. Torn hamstring, he didn't care. From 2002 all the way up until 2014, soldiers have won medals in sliding sports in every Olympics. So we're hoping to keep that trend going.

I'm a terrible spray painter. I mean like I have absolutely no skill at spray paint. Look at that. It looks hideous. Hey everyone welcome back today to Retro Tech. I've got a quick video on a smaller CRT. This is a Sony PVM8042Q Trinitron CRT monitor from the year 2000. All right so this one has just got a cosmetic repair going on today. Obviously we've got it stripped down here until almost it's naked form. The first thing you'll notice is the bezel has been removed. It's a pretty easy bezel to get off. The real problem on this cosmetic damage are these little rack pull mounts. Especially on these smaller ones they get banged around a lot. This one had a lot of damage to these rack mount. I think they're aluminum pull handles. This one had a lot of abrasive cuts and nicks in it so we went ahead and sanded it. I sanded a lot of the good outer coating of paint off and then cleaned it again and then we're sitting here now getting ready to reapply a fresh coat of spray paint here. So we're going to do that and then we'll reattach these and then we'll put the bezel back on and hopefully this will take care of the remainder of repairs needed to be done on this 8042Q. All right so I'm sorry we'll probably catch some outside noise here but I want you to see just my setup to get things painted. Yes I'm using a Domino's pizza box and what I've done is I've got a couple of toothpicks too. Stuck them in the top of the pizza box so that they can hold my little piece of metals like that pretty much and that way I can paint these without having to touch anything. All right I thought I'd show you this close up and just I want to admit I'm a terrible spray painter. I mean like I have absolutely no skillet spray paint.  We're finished with our restoration of these little handles and we've got a great finished product here so we're going to just reinstall these and then reinstall the bezel and then I'll come and show you the finished product on the monitor and I'll go over a couple of final issues on it and check out this what does that say to you my son got this for his birthday from my mother I mean is that just a really fancy way of saying diarrhea let's quickly run through our different settings available on the input board for the 8042 q we've got s video in and composite video in and then they have outs on line a and then they support mono audio and then line b supports composite video in and out and mono audio in and out and then finally we do have component slash rgb support on this final input down here which is set for rgb at the moment and it supports rgb sink and then it has an output where you can daisy chain out your sink you've got power input for ac power input for dc and then this does support batters all right guys we're going to finish up here looking at some of these test patterns on the 240p test suite so you can see the finished product but this 8042 q is a perfect crt for you to use for a test crt if you're doing something like mod work and you need something for your lab this would do the job because it supports so many different types of sink and it can really show you everything you need to see just to test your consoles if you're doing mod work or repairs and then it's also really great if you have not got a lot of space and you want to have a crt experience it's still pretty good to use just as a gaming monitor and it even does have some portability so if you have the right power setup and the right power accessories you can use this as you go on the road and i just want to say one final thing here first off thank you everybody who's been subscribed to the channel i i really appreciate your support of the channel and watch the videos and it really means the world to me and there's a special thank you i need to say to the patreon supporters of this channel thank you so much i really would not be able to bring you all these great videos and all these behind the scenes repairs not nearly as much as i am able to i'm really only able to do that because of the kind of general generous support of those patreon members if you want to find out more about patreon and some of the exclusive stuff we offer over there such as repair work even advice and tips and what sales listings that are available will all be done through patreon for the time being so there's a link to that in the description below if you're interested in checking out and helping out the channel and i will see you guys next time with some more retro content


Since we launched our historic infrastructure plan, which will invest more than $180 billion in communities across the country, our government has approved thousands of projects, big and small, from everything from highways to community centres. This month, I'm visiting some of those sites where new infrastructure is making a real difference, creating good jobs for the middle class, building the healthy communities Canadians deserve, and helping our businesses thrive. And today, we're celebrating a new investment right here in your backyard. But first, let me take a moment to remember Winnipeg bus driver Irving Jubal Frazer, who was tragically killed on the job two years ago this coming Valentine's Day. Jubal, or Superman, to his colleagues, was always helping others, a true example of how each and every one of us can make a real difference. I'm honored to have in my team an old bus driver, Minister Amarjit Sohi, and I can assure you that, every day, those who operate our transportation networks in common, make our country a better place. So why did our government invest so that they can use the tools they need to continue their excellent work? Today, I can announce that the federal government is investing in upgrades to the Winnipeg Transit Maintenance and Repair Facilities to keep this city's buses in top shape. Whether it's renovations for the maintenance garage or upgrades for the shop's equipment, we're investing so that Winnipeggers can count on a quick and reliable trip. Because although people riding the bus won't see the new hoists or the new ultrasonic cleaner in the repair shop, what they will see is good service when they're travelling to work or to events like the Festival du Voyageur, something I know folks here are looking forward to this weekend. That's what people need, and that's what communities need, efficient transit that's affordable, convenient, and keeps our air clean. And just like other infrastructure projects that we're delivering across Canada, we know that when different orders of government work together, we can achieve even better results. That's why this federal investment of two and a half million dollars in the Winnipeg Transit System is done in partnership with the City of Winnipeg. The announcement today is another example of investments that we are making to respond to the needs of Winnipeg so that they can continue to work in a fantastic place where they can live, work, and build a family.


I want to say welcome and thank you for joining us today for our 400th episode of the nonprofit show and we have one of our sponsors joining us as our guest Sasha Lewis who also is a CFRE with Moves Management Consulting and Sasha is going to talk to us today about why your data management is failing. So stay with us to hear what Sasha has as she's got four main reasons why this is failing. So we're really thrilled to have this conversation with us today. Thank you Julia Patrick for creating this wonderful platform. Julia is the CEO of the American Nonprofit Academy and because of her we are 400 episodes strong and continue to move into our 2022 calendar already. I'm Jarrett Ransom so honored to continue to serve alongside you as the co-host. Hopefully she'll keep me for 400 more. I'm also the nonprofit nerd CEO of the Raven Group and really enjoy these conversations thanks to the continued support of our presenting sponsors. You see Moves Management there that of course is Sasha Lewis's company. Many of these companies have been with us through these you know almost now two years. We are really grateful to have their continued investment in the nonprofit sector and truly in these episodes. So without the continued support of our presenting sponsors we would not have these thought leader conversations again at 400 strong. So Sasha welcome and thanks for joining us today for this milestone episode. Always exciting to be back and even more so knowing that it is a milestone episode. Thanks for having me. It's really cool. You know Sasha we knew you were part of our tribe. I had never met you. I think Jarrett had met you and you came on the nonprofit show as sketched as it was and you made the comment hey ladies we need to make data sexy again and Jarrett and I freaked out because we thought that was one of the funniest things but we thought it was true. We thought it was true and so we loved what you've said. We loved your tenor and your approach to some of these concepts and so we thought when we would bring you back for the 400th episode maybe to talk about this issue of why management the management of your data is not working and failing if you will and so we've always thought of you as somebody who came at things with a different lens and so we thought wow maybe you're the right one to have this discussion with. So start off with number one for us so we can really get into this why is our data management failing us. This is such a great topic and it comes up so much I get inundated it feels like now daily with this topic of what do I do how do I fix this how do we do this better and you know when it starts out with the basics the number one thing for most organizations as to why their data management process is failing is just simply the lack of procedure documents. We have this mindset of well what if somebody gets hit by a bus well I have now in the last 30 days I know somebody from years before at a prior job that got hit by a bus and I just talked to another person that 20 years ago got hit by a bus so the expression has some truth to it and so we need to have these these things documented take your most basic thing which is your gift entry procedure if that is not a document that anybody can pick up at your organization I don't care if it's a volunteer all the way up to your executive director and be able to jump in and assist with gift entry during a high peak time there is an issue with your organization your data management is started with your your procedures and those most basic ones such as your gift entry constituent updates if you pull the same type of mailing list every year for an annual reporter excuse me or a direct mail what are those documented criteria so that each and every time we're not having to recreate the bar or figure out what we're doing that we have something that we can go back as our foundation and build upon. So for me the number one reason why the data management is failing in nonprofits is a lack of documentation of the current procedures that are happening even if they're not good procedures they are still your procedures so please document them so that we know what they are. So I have a quick question because I I do know or I feel recently a lot of organizations are considering moving CRMs so how does this documentation carry over into the next process and procedures first I'm assuming having them is a great start but how would you how would you recommend organizations manage the procedures from one system into another? To be honest documenting them as they were to before before the switch and then after because a lot of times they translate it's merely saying okay this step means this step in this database or this step means this in that system now what I will caution any of the audience and those that are you know on with us today is if you're considering a CRM shift and change because it's not working for you or you can't get this XYZ thing accomplished look first to make sure your database is actually configured right because it may be that it does do those things for you but your data is not in the appropriate place to make those features work so before you jump ship fix the ship first then jump ship. That is one thing you have said in a previous episode that has stuck with me and I believe it was something about you know many many organizations do jump ship because they say well this CRM doesn't have all the bells and whistles that I need and I believe you said something like uh I'm not sure you know what bells and whistles truly exist. I remember you said that early on and it was like uh for me. Yeah absolutely there's a few systems when I hear someone say oh it doesn't work I'm like yeah it's not the system it's you and you can tell because there are some systems that are truly you know what we'll call catalogs they have amazing donor database tools they have amazing front end tools for engagement and then there's some that are very basic so there's a wide spectrum but going back to that number one part having the documentation for whatever they are will help you make an assessment that's informed versus reactive reactive and you can sit there and say okay we've documented these procedures it's not hitting our needs for these parts let's now look for one that will accomplish and help us accomplish those needs. Okay so that's an overall framework that I love now reason number two does it get any better? I think it gets better but that's definitely in my lens um for me number two is actually not having a plan so your data management needs a plan a plan is everything related to how the organization is going to function and fundraise and operate in the year to come so let's take our annual fundraising plan for example we're all getting ready for 2022 we know we're going to have direct emails we know we're going to have those combination email direct mail you know strategies what data plan and data management plan have you put into place to make sure your website's up and running that your gift forms are collecting the correct data that you thought through the strategy so that your your data team your IT team isn't at the end of the year going well you're trying to institute a new like giving platform and it's two weeks towards the end of the you know main campaign and you're wanting me to do entire build up and development it happens so much to these IT uh our delta excuse me data management professionals as we get asked to do things that should take months of deployment and planning to do in two to three week times because there's a new strategy that we're doing right now and so we really need to pause and say what's this organization doing in the next year again for our development for our programs for our volunteers and does our technology resources at this time match up and if not let's make a plan to start saying okay during our slower times we're going to address this infrastructure build out you know maybe it's changing uh how your volunteers are interacting with the organization so we have better data in our donor database so when we're doing those management and fundraising we've got better information but again it's that thoughtful intentional planning ahead versus just expecting your IT and data management team to just respond to whatever new idea uh came up um that last week so not only create a plan but be proactive in your planning so you can forecast okay where do we need our system to be what reports what filters um so that we can be proactive in planning for the next quarter because I can imagine right now Sasha and I'm curious if you can tell us you know there's a lot happening in Q4 but we should have maybe uh been preparing Q2 for Q4 right and then now looking at okay not only are we wrapping up our biggest fundraising season of every year it are always it is always in these final months of each and every year but we also need to start preparing for Q1 and Q2 is that correct like being proactive into what do we need to do now for for Q1 and 2? Absolutely and part of it is when you start building in and I'm slightly jumping out of the the list here but when you build in a good data plan and specifically thinking to the fundraising plan your appeals your segments your strategies those should already be in your system based off of this year's engagement every donation should have a strategy associated with it so in theory you should be able to export or get a list of all of those strategies check off the ones that should because most of them happen year over year and then kind of already know your plan and then you can look ahead and say okay we're thinking about end of year 2022 we want to do a new campaign are my ducks in a row because I will tell you right now as much as I've been trying to work with you know the clients that I work with on let's get ahead of the game I can feel it already happening that oh yeah we need to do this for the end of the year we need to do this for the end of the year and it's not the it's not the best plan because what we then produce for our donors in our audience is not as good a quality as it could have been it works but it could have been better and so for me it also makes it easier for fundraising because we're not already dealing with that panic it's an it's an intention it's something we're choosing to do versus having to find the time for and so yes if you're not thinking about what your organization's slower season is and how you can capitalize on that time to get ready for the next busy season it's something I very much encourage you to think about right now I love that you said that I think that's just a you know that's just overall good thinking okay so then why is your data management failing reason number three so this one to talk about it now this one makes me feel like a bit of a broken record because I bring it up every single time we have this conversation and I'm going to continue to bring it up it is the lack of human capital we do not have enough people in our industry for this position we're all now recognizing that we do data managers data managers are much more than your data entry professionals your data entry professionals are incredibly important they're the individuals that are making sure procedures are being followed to a tee that everything's getting documented that the transactions are moving forward that workload is very different than a data manager a data manager is anticipating the needs of the organization they're looking for places to optimize how do we make something more efficient how do I take this need or this new tech tool that's out on the market that you know the development team is wanting to deploy how do I bring that in implement it and make it work I mean it's just an incredible a lot to consider and right now we barely have enough data entry professionals and when I'm looking at just the community in which I work I can think of 10 open positions right now and just the organizations that I know that are your data entry data manager roles and again we're lacking human capital so what I'll go back to say is if you have someone in your organization that is demonstrating any kind of capacity in this area hold on to them and start treating them really well because your colleagues and your peers at the other organizations if they find out they're going to come take them from you it's that oh it is it's it's and it's an I would say it's intense is the best way to describe it right now from my viewpoint because I see it from so many organizations everybody knows that this is the gatekeeper which is your data manager your data entry team to making things easier for the organization and they all want to do a COVID made that very clear you have to have these systems in place and so you know moving forward it's it's the people part of it and so again if your organization is not thinking about or does not have plans to hire this role start thinking now because even if you're posting a position now it's going to take you six nine 12 months just to find someone and you're probably going to have to look outside of your area in order to get a qualified candidate hate to be a bit of a bearer bad news but when we talk about what's really impacting the industry this human capital need is critical Sasha where do we find data managers so what I love that you just said is these aren't just your data data entry you know professionals are individuals these are truly managers like they have the the fortitude to consider you know the future and where do we find these individuals well that's kind of the challenge right now that I've been struggling with and I think part of it is is it would be wonderful if we had these data managers that had a development or fundraising background specifically in most cases because you need to understand the why why does this matter to the frontline fundraising team that we have salutations correct and we're not using dear friend and this letter why does it matter that all of the transactions at this donor donor gave are accurate so when we end the annual statement it makes sense so there's there's there's more than just data in its true sense of being data and so where we're looking at where I see you know industry looking is outside the nonprofit sector we're starting to look at for-profit data analytics individuals and for-profit data individuals in those roles I think that's where we're going to be looking and it's an opportunity then to train up and recognize that their skills are going to take some time to shift let's say for example you take a true data analytics person that is just focusing on data analytics their job is not to design how to do something better their job is to look at what they see in front of them and find us and interpret the data and tell you a story about it and so if you're hiring a data analytics person to jump into your data management role they're not necessarily going to have that skill set they've got a great technology and data background but you're going to have to take that time to help train them up into shifting what they're looking at which is all of my data is here for me to then think about to how do I design the data so that I then can evaluate it different skill sets but again you know we're going to have to start working and really intentionally focusing on these roles within our industry to help train up those that are trying to fill in the roles from other related industries let me ask you this question is that somebody that could be a part-time like a consulting type of entity or do you see that management piece of being somebody that's going to have to be close if not full-time so what I've always said to my clients it's always an honor to be there but hopefully one day you won't need me because you'll have a full-time person in-house the difference of a full-time person in-house doing these things is night and day your revenue generation is incredibly different because rather than spending all of this time trying to make up or your leadership team trying to pull a board report or make something you know that should be very quick takes weeks to accomplish somebody in this role cannot only save the organization tens of thousands of dollars they can create revenue streams for tens of thousands of dollars and so to me one of the most important roles that you can plan for in your organization is this role because it's not just about pulling a query or running a report you're truly thinking through how do I create engagement opportunities so that as donors are connecting with us whether it's the website or at an event that we have a data plan in place to work with them in today's world because you know when I started 20 years ago we didn't do all of this via email and phone calls now majority of it is done that way because that's how our donors engage that's how they connect and so we have to have these tools in place so I hope that answered the question and I didn't get too far up to answer no it's good because it helps me kind of put in alignment what what this person would be doing and I think that leads us to you know number four which is a pretty big concept and I want to spend a little bit more time on it because what do you see as one of the main reasons why our data management is failing so this is a one that I like to be very candid about and be very direct on you know for the most part I'm more typically speaking to the nonprofit fundraising team I think in a lot of cases we get a few other audience members but the development team the fundraising team I feel like at this point in time recognizes the value of data clearly it's understood it's in need where I am finding extreme conflict and I will call it extreme conflict is the leadership at the top if they're not a development or fundraising based leader they don't understand the value of this data and so it's not important it's the least valued thing to be working on in the organization and that's the problem because then you're expecting your development team to raise millions of dollars and increase their goals five ten twenty percent year over year and yet you're not evaluating the tools that are going to be their gatekeeper to success and then as leadership team you get frustrated when the dollars aren't coming in the door and I'm sitting there going well you're still working on an archaic system from you know years ago that you've not invested in an upgrade in two years well what did you expect and so what it really is at this point is helping to find a way to break that barrier in the nonprofit industry with our leadership team that donor data technology data all of these data pieces aren't something that we can just throw aside and think about at the end of the year when we need to pull an annual report that these are things that are important to the critical or critically important to your organization's success today most certainly tomorrow and into the future and so for me what I see the biggest challenge as to why data management is filling in the nonprofit sector it's because of the lack of understanding and the lack of value from the top up where are those organizations value data it is transformative what happens to the everybody team members start working together internal conflicts go away and it is truly a night and day experience when we have leadership support from the top versus what I call transactional support well yeah keep doing what you're doing but we don't really care that's different like that leader that's in it that's driving and saying everybody use the data let's work together I mean they do it's amazing sorry it's fun those are the fun organizations to work with because they're working for challenges and when they come up with a data challenge it's not something that stops everybody from moving it's oh all right what are we doing how do we fix this and what tool can we you know uncover now that's going to give us something even greater to work with and that's the opportunity at hand yes I do acknowledge that that's an overwhelming amount of work to get these going but when you get past that part it is really really fun and really cool what happens from a data perspective from what you can do from a donor engagement standpoint the reports that come out I mean one of the coolest things I love you know through the work that I do is when we can turn on like a board report metrics report that's on demand and nobody has to work for it and at like seconds they can go in and there's your board report and you don't even have to ever run your numbers and because you've audited them they're matching up and like people start to love their job again you know this is a very challenging role and we do a lot for sometimes not a lot of recognition and so if we can take away this angst that is truly surrounded in our our data and make the data sexy in the sense that it's something that we value and it's fun and we're excited to use it you can transform your organization in so many ways and the revenue dollars are it is a clear indicator of you can impact your your dollars by changing your data structure and putting a focus in on data management I have seen organizations truly go from good to great because of of them really knowing their data and using their data I see all too often Sasha where you know I might be doing a development assessment and I'll say well give me the last three years of numbers for x y and z reports and they're like well we don't have that so clearly they're not using their data they're not there it's no manager and one of your previous episodes you also said you know and it comes back to your number three the lack of human capital is that oftentimes we place this role on someone and we just say here you go here's the manual from the company have at it and we don't invest in that training and the the true you know knowledge that this individual needs because perhaps number four it's not valued at that leadership level it's not valued at the top and therefore there's no investment of training and knowledge to truly truly utilize utilize this I wanted to ask you if we are experiencing this lack of human capital and that's the truth across the nation right now with almost any industry in any sector is this data management role I know we said you know a consultant could absolutely come in is this something that we could really bring someone on board in a remote position so they could be with us full-time but they don't necessarily have to be in our local community is that an option right now as we consider you know utilizing those professionals that truly are data managers is that possible absolutely honestly if they're not doing your straight gift entry or you're able to work through you know the the deposit process that data manager is a high-level thinker they can join meetings via zoom in fact that's what I do quite a bit with my clients is I serve as their data manager I'm there to sit in on interviews with other you know when they're trying to fill these positions I sit in leadership team meetings to talk about strategy and so the answer is yes I will still always say eventually fire your consultant hire somebody full-time because that is still 99% of the time the best option but no having someone remote having you know a leader if you're able to find a consultant that's able to support you absolutely because even that difference of just a few hours a month of a thought partner in this field can have dramatic differences on your organization to go back briefly and I know we're running out of time we talked about that value of the data plan and what we're doing I also go back to that value of leadership and recognizing the need for a plan and what their data is because we also need to reevaluate are the procedures that we've inherited accurate I think I've shared before I worked with a client we're within the first setting down time of working together we identified a procedure that took them four business days a month to accomplish this was inherited by them it was something that they've been doing for I think six years prior to that it was done for many years because that was the inherited procedure and knowing the system that we are using I was able to very quickly realize and say well there's actually a built-in tool for that and now it's like a 20 minute process a month so we went from four business days to 20 minutes in a month that's a cost savings and can you imagine how much more money we could save and now what this individual is able to do with those three out you know three extra business days a month each you know all year long so your data management is a lot about saving money just as much as it is about making money for your nonprofit wow amazing we have a guest coming on in a couple of weeks and he is from a large a national cpa firm and he uh he says he said julia one of my things I think is we need to start looking at ourselves in the nonprofit sector as technology businesses you know and if we can start to think that way we will change the way we serve our clients the way we communicate with our donors the way we work with our our staff because that is where we are going it's where we have been on that trajectory so it's really kind of an interesting mind shift for so many of us that have been using the same standards absolutely I do think it's going to change our industry quite a bit in the years to come yes what a shake up you know if I had a crystal ball and maybe I did because I did say you know we have been do a shake up and I'm seeing this uh you know so many people are thinking with their disruptive hat on and I say that as a compliment because to me disruption is not a negative right disruption is thinking of instead of this three or four day process to pull this report or do this whatever you know process that needs to be done how might we do this differently and to have someone that brings that knowledge and that you know ability to think outside the previous process that's been inherited because I think we all know that the nonprofit sector has um constantly you know subscribe to the that's how we've always done it motto and it's time to like just let's let's sunset that right that's what we also say let's just sunset that motto so thank you fasha this has been phenomenal um you always come to us with such great insight and expertise I know that I will be visiting uh this particular episode again because you've dropped so many um just sage items that are critical critical to each and every of our quarters throughout the year right now we're in q4 uh again really really hectic season of fundraising and we really need our data management to do what we need it to do so thank you Sasha it's been my pleasure hey here's Sasha's information Sasha's one of those guests that we always get a lot of comments when she's on and I just want to acknowledge just before we um move on today chris writes great points about a data manager role thank you Sasha thanks chris that's awesome hey Sasha has been with us from day one we're so excited to be able to share her information as brilliant as she is she only has so many hours in the day imagine that so um she kind of witnessed to us in the beginning that um her time is pretty well booked up but I want to make sure that you know where she is and how to get a hold of her because she truly is a gem in our sector she knows the nonprofit sector and she knows the data management sector and putting those two together magical things happen so if you want her for next year be proactive and reach out to her now good idea be proactive it's true be thinking forward hey I'm Julia Patrick I've been joined by my nonprofit nerd Jarrett Ransom the nonprofit nerd um we are so delighted that you have been with us we want to share with you quickly before we go we are conducting our second annual nonprofit show viewer survey this really will take it should take no more than three minutes it helps us to figure out what type of information is valuable to you with a show again 400 episodes we have so many more topics to cover and we're already booking into the new year of 2022 but we do want to hear from you so check us out you can get to us get this report through our social media through our daily emails that we send our

join us back tomorrow it'll be the 401st episode


hello everyone good afternoon today we'll start with metallurgy okay I want to finish this chapter today itself okay that's why I'm taking this up okay so we'll do it now metallurgy so that you'll have some idea for your coming exam right peace cool so see today we are going to start a new chapter that is metallurgy in metallurgy in metallurgy we will basically talk about ores and extraction of metals okay what are the process for extraction of metals we have right and what are the ores we have for different different metals what ores we use for the extraction of one particular metal okay so basically the process that we use for extraction of any metal that process we have to consider and we'll have to consider various factor into this obviously we have to consider the percentage content of that metal which we are going to extract okay what is the percentage content of that metal in that in that ore that is one priority we should give another priority is what the like economically the process is feasible or not suppose you are extracting one particular metal and there are n number of ways possible 5 10 different means possible for extraction of one particular metal right but the process which is most favorable economically that process we are going to use in the you know in the practical right so yeah so that's that's how it is right we have to consider all the you know factors which is useful for the extraction of any metal for extraction of one metal if you are putting so much of money there's no point doing that particular method okay using that particular method okay so that's how the chapter is all about right like I said there are different different you know process we have for extraction the process that we choose that also depends upon the property of the metal right that we are going to extract right so all those different different of process we'll discuss okay but first of all let me tell you this chapter will have two different you know portions in this chapter we have the first one is like I said extraction of metals we'll also see making of alloys okay two different terms that we use here the first one is minerals and the second one is ores minerals and ores or es what are minerals these are the compounds write down this definition these are the compounds which are available naturally in the earth crust in the earth's crust and can be obtained and can be obtained by mining okay we call it as minerals now ores are what ores are basically minerals only right so these are the minerals these are the minerals from which from which a metal can be extracted can be extracted economically conveniently easily and with less amount of money we need to put and we can extract the metals right ores are nothing but minerals okay so what we can say here all ores if you see the two statement we can say hence all ores are minerals all minerals all minerals are not ores this we can say for example if I give you one example here FeS2 FeS2 the name of this is what iron pyrite FeS2 iron pyrite okay iron pyrite is a mineral not ore because the production of iron from iron pyrite requires heavy cost very high cost requires for this production okay that's why this is a mineral not ores we won't use iron pyrite for the extraction of iron okay copied down done can I go to the next page let me know okay like this we have there are few names or the molecular form formula of ores you need to memorize okay so write down the heading here some examples of right this examples also they ask an example okay not in J but other competitive exam okay they ask this questions okay like for example the first one the first one if I write here it is ZnO zinc oxide we also call it call it as zinsite the name of this compound is zinsite this you have to memorize Fe2O3 oxides of iron Fe2O3 we call it as hematite copy down all of you Fe3O4 Fe3O4 it is magnetite magnetite MnO2 MnO2 is pyrolyside SnO2 SnO2 we call it as catheterite Ca double S E T E R I T E catheterite or we also call it as tinstone 6 1 U3O8 not that important we call it as pinch blend pitch blend B L E N D E Al2O3 dot 3 H2O we call it as bauxite important the next one is a pvs lead sulfide pvs we also call it as lead sulfide and we also call it as galena HGS it is cinnabar okay 10th one cinnabar FeS2 we call it as fool's gold this question they have asked in the exam fool's gold it's look like it looks like gold golden like golden that's how you call it fool's gold AG2S it's urgentite ZNS it is zinc blend we also call it as sphalodite Cu FeS2 it is copper pyrite or we also call it as chelcopyrite okay next one is NAKNO3 Indian salt pitter 15th one NANO3 it is chili salt pitter P T E R AGCL is horn silver many times they have asked this question it is horn silver NA3 ALF6 cryolite 4 5 more we have copied down first here I'll write down one KCL KCL is selvines let me know once you are done okay yeah next you see CAF2 is Schwarzpar MGCO3 is magnecite MGCO3 is magnecite FeCO3 carbonate all this we have FeCO3 is cedarite the last two ZNCO3 is calamine CaCO3 dot MGCO3 it is dolomite see these are the few examples of ores see out of all these there are few you know ores which are important which you must remember like all these are important 23rd one 22nd one norspar this one cedarite is not that much important and if I go in the last page here we have gensite important pyrolysite pitch blend pitch blend is important cinnabar FeS2 AGCL CUS at least this much you must remember all these formula of ores okay
