Hello everybody. My name is Lindsay Spector and I'm a digital media coordinator here at the U.S. Department of State. I'm coming to you live from Washington D.C. at our State Department studios where we are thrilled to host our final YSEALI Tech Tuesday series today. Every Tuesday this month we've hosted Facebook live chats with tech experts on different topics. Check the video section of the YSEALI Facebook page or the YSEALI YouTube channel to watch the previous sessions. Today I have the privilege of speaking with Arif Aziz about online advocacy and campaigns. Arif is the country director of change.org in Indonesia and is coming to us from Jakarta where he recently was a trainer for a tech camp program. He is going to talk about online advocacy and give you tips and strategies for your project or initiative. Please ask your questions for Arif in the comments section below. Also, please let us know where you're watching from. Alright Arif, before we get into the topic of digital advocacy, I want to do a speed round of quick questions to help our audience get to know you and the topic a little bit better. What kind of work do you do for change.org in Indonesia? Great. Hi Lindsay. Hi everyone. Very excited to be here. I forgot this was a season finale so I hope I don't disappoint. But basically what I do at change.org is I lead the team here and we help people start, grow and win the campaigns they start on the site in the form of a petition. And that can be within any issue, environmental, anti-corruption, animal welfare and whatever it is that people think is important to them. So you're here to talk to us about digital advocacy. How do you define digital advocacy? I basically define it as advocacy using digital tools. It's quite simple. Though I think sometimes people may think that that's all you need in advocacy, the digital tools but actually it's very much a combination of online and offline tools. What inspired you to get into the field of online campaigns? Well I think we're just in the moment where it's really possible to create a lot of changes and massive changes through the digital tools that we have right now. If you look at Indonesia for example, the history of people power has always been there. And actually if you look at ASEAN in general, people power is everywhere. And now the digital tools are catching up to the spirit that was already there otherwise. And it's really linking up quite nicely. And that's bringing about change in a faster and bigger way. What is your favorite thing about the work you do? I mean I'm sure people have mentioned this before, but working with people that are just day in, day out have the passion and dedication to create the changes they want to see. Working with them is truly where most of my energy comes from. I agree. I think that's where I get a lot of my energy from the Waicili community and they really inspire me every day. That's great. Exactly. We have a lot of questions to ask you Arif, but before we continue I want to flip things around and ask our audience a question. Which advocacy campaigns inspire you? Again, what is an organization that has done a great advocacy campaign that got your attention? Let us know in the comments. Okay, let's get to some questions now. I want to talk about your four tips for successful campaigns. Can you go over them with us? Sure, but let me first tell you a story of this guy named Trion. And Trion is a guy that wants to start a bank account. He goes to the bank and the customer service is a bit confused. And finally she said, I'm sorry, I can't help you open a bank account. And Trion discovered later that it was because he was blind. And then the customer service said, but look here, it says that you have to read and understand the terms. And in her view, if you're blind, then you can't really read, can you? We all know that's completely false, right? Blind people can read. They just have a different way of reading than us. It's a matter of whether we provide them with the access or not. So he went home feeling quite disappointed seeing that like the banking industry right now, you can transfer thousands of dollars through your phone, but it can't really serve a disabled person or the disabled community. And it's not that one specific bank, it's actually a lot of banks here. And so he complained to the customer service, to the headquarters, but he got nowhere. But at the end, we found a news article about him, and we contacted him. And we say, Trion, would you like to start a petition? And he said, yeah, I will do that. Within hours, a petition was started. He's actually very tech savvy. And then what he did was he included the emails of the directors of the bank that he found online. And he also connected the petition to the Twitter account of the bank. And so whenever people sighed, emails were sent to the directors. And whenever the petition was shared, their Twitter was mentioned. And so within days, he got thousands of support. And within days, he got a direct response from the bank. And they invited him to the headquarters to meet with senior managers. And in that meeting, they decided, okay, we're now going to make it easier for disabled people, for blind people to open a bank account. Now this might seem like a local and small victory, but it's actually quite significant and affects a significant population, which is the marginalized and the disabled. So this is one of my favorite stories. And when we look at all the campaigns that we've had, we've had a lot of success. We've also had a lot of failures. And so from that, these are the four lessons that I've learned so far after five years of doing this thing. Number one, you need to set a specific and creative goal, right? Commonly, every time maybe people start designing their campaign, their question is, how do we get this viral? And I think that's the wrong question because not every campaign needs to be seen by everyone. It just needs to be seen by the right people. The people that can create those type of changes. Here's another great example of Papa Gang and Wisnu. So Papa Gang is an elephant, and he was killed and poisoned, and his ivory was taken from him to be sold. He was actually a patrol elephant, which means he maintained peace between elephant and people, which is an amazing job, right? And so when these things happen, sometimes people call volunteers to autopsy the elephant. And Wisnu, you can see on the left there, he had the job of doing this autopsy. And after he came back from that, he said, this is, like, enough is enough. I need to do something about it. So we got in touch and we talked about it, and we said, OK, what should be the goal? What should be the ask? And the most apparent one is to ask the president to stop the killings of these elephants. But that's too vague, right? That's too generic. How will he stop these elephant killings? Is it a matter of law enforcement? Is it a matter of a new policy? If it's a new policy, does it need to come from parliament, or is it an executive order, and so on and so forth? But when we kind of like brainstorm further, we just kind of decided to Google how does one actually buy ivory products? And it turns out ivory products were sold in most big online shops in Indonesia. And so for us, at that time, it was clear. The ask was to stop selling ivory products in these big online shops. And it turns out we got, as you can see, thousands and thousands of signatures. And within days, these online shops gave a direct response, saying, yes, you're right. This is actually against our guidelines, and we will take all of them down. And they did. So simply by setting a very specific and somewhat creative goal, that makes a difference between a successful campaign and a failed campaign. So think about that. And usually when we think about that, we use this thing called the power mapping. And this is some examples of that. So when you think of one issue, let's say elephant poaching, think of all the stakeholders in that particular issues. There are the producers, there are the policymakers, the consumers, the marketplace, the law enforcers. And think about, number one, what could create the most impact? And number two, what is the likelihood of them changing? There needs to be both of this, because if there is a high impact for change, but there's no likelihood of change, then that's not going to happen. If there's a big likelihood for them to change, but the impact is not so much, then also that's not going to create significant change. Here's another example. Let's say the issue of dolphin shows. We have traveling dolphin shows in Indonesia. And when we think about the stakeholders, we see the law enforcers, we see the policymakers, the sponsors. But when we started this campaign, the biggest likelihood of change and the biggest impact was either the sponsors or the venues of the dolphin shows. So that's what the petitional starters decided to target and it was successful. Here's another quick one. Tobacco control. When you think about tobacco control, think about the companies, events, but also the athletes and musicians that have endorsements or that have events, music events that are sponsored by tobacco companies. That's usually kind of a potential for a very successful campaign. All right. Here are some bad and good examples of goals or targets or asks, right? Bad example would be, Mr. President, please save the school. First of all, the president doesn't usually focus on schools.  But if you ask Mayor, please build a bridge for students to go to school, that's much more clear and much more winnable. When you hear government increase public service in city A, it'd be more specific. Minister of Home Affairs gives sanctions to the mayor for bad public service or this one. Government stop killing the elephants. How do you do that? But if you say online shops stop letting people sell ivory in them, then that would be much more winnable. All right. The second lesson or the second tip is tell an authentic story. As a change maker, we have plenty of knowledge and information about the issue that we work on. And sometimes we forget that the reason we got into the issue was because of a single story. And then when we communicate these issues to other people, we sometimes forget that they don't have the same level of knowledge and information that we have. Here's a great example. There was a shark fin campaign early on when we started to change our organ in Indonesia. He was a starter. He was a tourist in Singapore. He was South African. He went to Bali. And then on the way back, he stopped at the international airport. He saw a shop selling shark fins. And he was outraged and he started a petition. So shark fin is very unethical, unsustainable, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So the problem with the previous one is that there's nothing wrong with that. But it's not compelling. It doesn't compel people to actually take action. So we talked to him and we asked him where he was from, who he is, what he cares about. And we came up with this. They are caught. Their fins are cut, thrown back to sea. They sink.  It takes hours, even days. For what? A bowl of soup. I love Indonesia. I always take my kids there. I love the biodiversity. I love the people. But imagine my surprise when I went to the airport and saw this being sold at the airport. And then he asked, is this the impression that the Indonesian government wants to give at the end of a tourist's journey? And with that text, it actually got a lot more signatures and therefore it actually won. The clothes actually stopped selling shark fins. And so authentic stories is really the right content for social media. Here's another example. There's a petition about fish bombing in Mantawai Island near Sumatra. And basically, the shin only had this video. And that video resulted in the campaign going viral, even retweeted by Paul Walker, the late Paul Walker, and Sir Richard Branson. And as you can see, the video doesn't have a high value production. It doesn't have a soundtrack. It doesn't have subtitles. It doesn't have a cheesy narration over it or something like that. But it actually won and actually garnered a lot of support. Why? People see directly what fish bombs look like. And it's scary stuff. And that's enough. All right. The third tip. Have a bigger strategy. Online petitions and online strategies or social media tools is just part of your big campaign. But you have to have a bigger strategy. Here's an example of a campaign about the plastic bag diet. Basically, a group of people wanted for retail shops to charge for plastic bags when they give it to their customers. This is not uncommon in a lot of countries, but it's certainly different here. And here are the lovely people. And they actually succeeded in making the government do a pilot project. And the effects of it is amazing. From the pilot project, it was determined that consumption of plastic bags went down by half and two out of three people prefer to bring their own bags. And so they're in talks now with the government to implement this to a larger, basically across the nation. But their success is not only because of an online petition or their online social media campaigns. It's because of their offline efforts too. Here's a quick kind of like run through of their bigger strategy. So they have to pay for plastic petition for start. And then they start building a coalition. Then they had partnerships with a lot of retail shops like Body Shop or Carrefour. They had this thing called plastic bag snatching, where you would come up to people on the streets, take their plastic bag out of nowhere, and then return it to them and talk about their campaign. There's a great shock factor there, but it's a great segue to educating people about plastic bags. They also did advocacy work and public training work. They had this thing called the plastic monster, where they went to an event and then they start just picking up plastic bags that were just on the ground and attaching it to a particular person, and that person becomes a monster, a plastic monster. All of these things contribute to their success. So when you're designing your campaign, think about that online offline loop. Whatever you do online, you can bring offline, and whatever you do offline, you can then use that as a content for your online audience or viewership. All right, so this is the last tip. The last tip is basically this. You ride the wave, right?  Sometimes you can't create a wave that's huge, right? All you can do is wave the rides. Oh, sorry, ride the waves. So basically, here's what it means. Social media and the people in social media have very short attention span, and we're talking about all of us, right? One issue comes in this day, and two days later there's another issue, and we're completely distracted by it. But you can use this to your advantage. Whenever you start a campaign and it dies out, wait for the next moment in media, in social media, and build your agility to respond to any moment that comes up that's related to your issue, right? And so, for example, for example, if you're talking about forest, whenever a story comes out about forest fires, you jump on it, and you explain to people what the relations are, and you explain to people how important it is to protect our forest. Another news comes out about, let's say, palm oil plantation, or illegal palm oil plantations. You jump on that to explain how dangerous that could be, and how dangerous burning forests are, and how it's important, or how forest is important in your life, and so on and so forth. So sometimes a moment can come, and campaigners tend to over plan, and so days go by, weeks go by, even months go by, to get that high quality production value of a content. But when you disseminate it, people are no longer paying attention to it because you miss your moment. Whether you settle for a straightforward content, but still compelling, but use the right moment to push that content out, you will definitely gain potentially more and maybe thousands of audience or eyeballs that look at your content rather than waiting a long time for it. So that's basically my four tips. I hope that was beneficial enough for you guys. More importantly, I hope that's implementable for you guys, and if you have any questions, please let me know. Great. Let's get to some questions from our viewers now. What are simple ways that individuals can use digital campaigns to create positive change in their communities? What are simple ways that you can use digital campaigns? I mean, the simplest thing to do is to speak up, and speaking up, I understand that a lot of people have day jobs, they take care of their families, they have enough problems as it is, but if there's an issue that you really, really care about, you can just speak up on social media. And this can mean posting a Facebook post or a Facebook picture. This can mean signing and sharing a petition or tweeting about something. More effectively, this can mean reaching out to someone that you disagree with on social media and having the intention of really understanding him and then having them understand where you're coming from. Because one of the risks of speaking up on social media, which we should avoid, is creating these silos and creating these bubbles, and no one really actually listens to each other or no one with opposing views listen to each other. So I would say, start with those two things. Number one, speak up, and number two, don't filter out people that you disagree with. Even better, start a conversation with them online. Do you have any tips for free software to use as people are developing their digital campaigns? Free software? Well, okay, first, if you want to start an online petition, it's completely free. You can just go to change.org and you can click start a petition and you won't be charged. Other tools, honestly, doing digital campaigning day by day, you don't really use a lot of expensive tools. You start paying for tools, for example, if you want good graphic designs or if you want to do a survey, but even then, there's also free tools that you can use. I think Google Drive, which means Google Docs, Google Spreadsheets, are a great way to organize your campaign. Not a great way to disseminate your campaigns or contents, but a great way to organize it. I think WhatsApp is great for coordination when you actually have a plan and you have to follow through and you just create groups on WhatsApp, or at least that's what we do here. The rest is just basic Facebook and Twitter and maybe Instagram, because that's where people are right now. Yeah, I can't really think of anything else. I mean, if we do, for example, surveys, we use type form and there's a free version of that. There's also a paid version of that. Yeah, so usually all the tools have kind of like a free or paid version and trust me, you can get by with using all the free stuff on the internet. Great. I would also recommend doing your own research, asking your friends if you find a free software platform that you find really helpful for your work. Share it with your fellow Ycelia members so that you can all learn from each other and share resources and share ideas so that you're working together as a team to accomplish all of your respective goals. Another app that we use is also Canva, which also has a free and paid content. And it's great when you want to design small graphics and small kind of like asks, posters for events or whatever it is. I agree. I love Canva. It's a great design tool for people who aren't designers. So definitely check that out. Arif, how can I track data and analytics for my online petition or campaign and related to that? How should they measure success? That's great. Two very good questions. Number one, how do you track? Well, we've actually just recently published a tool in which when you start a petition, you can track how many people are signing it each day. I think it goes even per hour. And so, yeah, there's a lot of there's some kind of like analysis there. If again, Facebook has insights for free. Instagram has insights for free. So you can definitely use them. If not, there are some kind of like over the counter tools that again, I think have some free and some paid kind of services. But I've used Crowd Booster in the past, which is quite good for. And that's mainly for Twitter, but you can use it for Facebook too. I've also used Tweet Reach, I think, for Twitter. In our organization, we kind of use the kind of more complicated stuff. And therefore, you'd have to pay more for that. Just because the amount of data that that we have. And as for the second question, what should be the measure of success? Like I said before, with Trion's campaign, it actually only garnered 2,000 or 3,000 support. We have petitions that are up to 100,000 or even 400,000 signatures. And does not, we do not consider it as a success. Just because what we've set as a success goal is something that is not only achievable, but it's real impactful change, right? Like when this bank provides access to the disabled, that's real change, right? And everything else is just a what we call now, I sometimes mess this up. But I think what we call a lead measure, it's measurements that leads to something else. So this, we're talking about the signatures, we're talking about engagement, right? Like how many likes, how many comments, we're talking about how many shares, right? And those are all or can be good indicators of whether or not your campaign is getting somewhere. But the ultimate measurement should be a concrete change or something that you can see the impact of. Great. So relating to that and what you were saying earlier about online and offline advocacy coming together, would you agree that sometimes an offline action or an offline impact sometimes measures the success of your online efforts and it's maybe a little bit about balancing both of those things? Absolutely. What you get with online outreach is that you get a lot of eyeballs or the potential of a lot of people seeing your content is much bigger. But when you get to an offline event, you may have less number of people engaged to it, but the quality of the engagement is quite high, right? So asking people to sign a petition, it's a very different experience from asking people to do a protest. From the other end, it's exactly the same too. One person signing a signature that's targeted to you is very different from one person holding up a sign in front of your office, right? And so there are trade-offs in both and the best way to deal with it is to create a strategy that includes both and that syncs the two events. Great. Thanks, Arif. Before we get to a few more questions from our viewers, I want to read off the results of the question we asked earlier in the program. Which advocacy campaigns inspire you and why? Natalie says World Wildlife Foundation. Phoenix says the African Wildlife Foundation has a great advocacy campaign to protect elephants and big cats. Ray says an education NGO he worked with in the Philippines that gives people English language training and helps them find jobs. Sam says the Polaris project has had a solid global anti-human trafficking campaign that has great online engagement and has been great about bringing awareness to the issue. Duck from Vietnam says I'm interested in the Earth Hour advocacy campaign. Wonderful. Great answers, everyone. Thanks for posting in the comments. Keep them coming. And now let's get to some more questions. Arif, what are some common mistakes people make when it comes to digital advocacy work? Some common mistakes. And I've probably said this before. But I think number one, the most common mistake is overplanning. With digital advocacy, sometimes the key is to just start, accept that it won't be perfect, accept that you will make mistakes, even accept that you will fail, right? But you have to build on that continuously and be relentless in improving continuously. Because when you wait too much, then you lose the momentum and change is much harder to do afterwards, after a moment is gone. So that's number one, right? Number two, common mistake, right? The most or sometimes the common mistake is this. Starting a campaign without knowing what the end game is, right? Because, and I think that's the kind of like minimum thing that you need to do before you start a campaign. What actually is it that you want to achieve? And if it's very simple like, oh, I just want 100 people to look at this Facebook post. And that's fine, right? But if it's something, like I said, much more impactful, like for example, I want 100 Filipinos to be able to teach English in six months. That's very practical, right? And that's very doable. And therefore, when you start your campaign, you can then strategize to that particular goal, right? And you don't have to bother with other initiatives that you might have or other ideas that you might have that doesn't contribute directly to that goal. So I think those two are very important. Number one, make sure that you don't move too slow. But number two, make sure you have a clear goal in your mind. Great. Our next question is about emails. Sometimes people don't use emails enough in their digital advocacy campaigns. So, Arif, can you tell us about creating compelling emails and why this is important for digital advocacy campaigns? That's a great question because we, at Chaser Work, we use everything. We use email, we use Twitter, Facebook, and sometimes Instagram. But time and time again, email has been proven, for us at least, one of the best ways of communicating to our users, one of the best ways to communicate to people that care about these type of issues. Why is that? With Facebook, it has a particular algorithm. It doesn't guarantee that if you post something, then everyone that follows your page even will see it, right? And then after a while it's gone. Twitter is the same thing, right? You post it, everyone that follows you might see it, but after five minutes or 10 minutes, that goes down from their timeline and they don't see it anymore. But with email, you have a much larger space to communicate and to have issues in their mind space. It can be quite personal and also it doesn't go away quite as fast as Twitter or Facebook. And when you send it, you can be sure that everyone that gets it in their inbox sees it. Now, there are problems like it might go to spam or stuff like that, but in the beginning, if you have, not even a small, it has small to medium list, like thousands of people, for example, the deliverability is usually pretty good, as in it doesn't usually go to spam a lot. And so that's very important. And also the one thing that I like about email is that it's quite transferable. An email can easily be transferred or easily be adjusted to a Facebook post.  And everything else, even Instagram. But really, when you train yourself to write good emails, you train yourself to tell a complete story. And whether then you can adjust it to Facebook or Twitter or anything else, then that's up to you. But I think that's email is like a great tool to practice on your storytelling. Great. We have a lot more questions we want to get through. So, Arif, I'm going to ask you if you can keep your answers a little bit briefer just so that we can get through as much as possible. Our next question is what are different ways individuals can instill empathy and calls to action in an email or an online petition to mobilize awareness. So empathy and clear calls to action. Any tips on that? Sure. Tell a personal story. Be authentic in telling your personal story. That's the number one reason why contents go viral, because someone is authentic, someone is being personal in telling their stories. All right. Before we wrap up, I want to do another speed round of questions to pick Arif's brain one last time about digital advocacy. What are some resources you would recommend to people who want to learn more about online campaigns and petitions? That's a great question. What I would do is this. All of these campaigning organizations, there's a lot of them, right? Subscribe to every single one of them. I know it can be annoying getting all those emails, but if you're kind of like serious in honing your skills as digital campaigners, then that's a fantastic resource to learn from. That's what I do. I get emails from every single campaigning organization that there are. And sometimes even I subscribe to profit oriented or companies like, I don't know, Lazada or Zalora or whatever online shop there is, to just learn from them too because they can be quite successful in getting customers. So that's a great learning tool as well. Great. So learn from the competition, take inspiration wherever you can get it. Where do you get your inspiration from when it comes to projects you're working on? Um, I, besides, so really when I get kind of like riled up about something, it's because it's in the middle of my interview to the people that start campaigns and to the victims of particular issues. And this is, I think, very, very important. Before you start any campaign, you need to know or you need to hear the perspective from the people directly affected by the issue. If you're talking about forest fires, then talk about someone in which, in their city or in their hometown, they experience the effects of forest fire. You know, if you're talking about criminal justice or if you're talking about cyber democracy, then talk about someone that's been prosecuted for telling the truth or for protesting online. So get like the number one source is always the person that is involved directly in that issue. Other than that, I just go to Google and YouTube and find examples of creative campaigns. Sometimes within the issue I'm looking for, sometimes outside of it. Here's a question about mentorship. Do you have mentors and do you mentor others? Who are my mentors? Yeah, I'm one that believes that you can't have enough mentors. So my mentors are not just one or two or three people, but a lot of people. I try to learn from as much people as possible. And the same thing goes for me trying to share my knowledge with many one. So anyone that kind of like asked me to share what I've learned in these campaigns, I'm glad to share with them. I don't know if anyone considers me a mentor or anything, but I try to share whatever knowledge I have. So like for example, that's a mentor that I have is actually one of the co-founders of change.org in Indonesia. His name is Usman and he's a long time activist. And he's been doing this activism since the 1990s or the late 90s. So he has a really specific and a really deep perspective and deep knowledge on activism in general because he's lived it for such a long time. Another one is fellow campaigners at change.org that does really good emails, for example. And I often ask them about opinions of particular campaigns or particular emails that I've written and all that kind of stuff. Wonderful, thank you. How would you summarize your best leadership advice in one sentence? My best leadership advice, I would say, and probably I've mentioned this earlier, just start, right? Accept that you will fail. Build relentlessly on top of that to improve and listen to everyone. Sometimes people say, oh, don't listen to the haters. No, no, no, listen to the haters. You don't necessarily have to agree with them, but when you understand where they're coming from, then you have the potential to, or you can learn a lot about winning the hearts of others, maybe not them, but others. Perfect, thank you. Unfortunately, that's all the time we have today to talk about online campaigns. I want to thank Arif Aziz of change.org for joining us today from Jakarta. I learned a lot about online advocacy and I hope you did too.  This year we're celebrating the 40th anniversary of U.S.-Azian relations and the 50th anniversary of ASEAN, so we really appreciate everyone, especially you, the Waishili community, for joining us in that celebration. Today marks the end of our Tech Tuesday Facebook Live series. I hope you all enjoyed watching.

Thank you and have a great day.


Hello everyone, welcome to the session of application of multiple integrals part 3. This is Swati Nikam, assistant professor, Department of Humanities and Sciences, Vulturen Institute of Technology, Solapur. At the end of this session, student will be able to find area of region bounded by curves by using double integration. Hence, please pause your video for a minute and write the formula for finding area of curve in Cartesian coordinates. I hope you have written your answer. So area of curve in Cartesian coordinate region over a region r is a is equal to double integration over r dx into dy. Now let us see area by double integration in polar coordinates. Let us consider area enclosed by two plane curves r is equal to r1 is equal to f1 theta and r is equal to r2 is equal to f2 theta intersecting in point A with coordinates r1 alpha and b with r2 beta. Then the area of elementary rectangle is r into dr into d theta. In Cartesian coordinate system, we have seen that area is dx into dy. So after replacing in polar form x equal to r cos theta, y is equal to r sin theta, we get the replacement of dx dy is equal to r dr d theta. In polar coordinate system, the area A is equal to integration alpha to beta, inner integration f1 theta to f2 theta of r dr d theta. Let us solve an example. Find the area of cardioid r is equal to A into bracket 1 minus cos theta by using double integration. Answer, we know that the cardioid r is equal to A in bracket 1 minus cos theta is symmetrical about initial line and passing through pole which is drawn as this one. So initial line and perpendicular line. To find area of cardioid, it is convenient to find area of cardioid above the initial line and multiply it by 2. Because of symmetry, we can use this technique. For the cardioid r varies from, so the strip is always considered from pole 0 to boundary of cardioid r is equal to A times bracket 1 minus cos theta and theta varies from. So to cover this region, r theta will start with theta is equal to 0 to theta is equal to pi above the initial line. Therefore, area A is equal to twice integration 0 to pi integration 0 to A times bracket 1 minus cos theta r dr d theta which is equal to 2 times integration 0 to pi. Now limits are in terms of theta, so we will integrate with respect to r first. Integration of r is r square by 2 limits 0 to A times 1 minus cos theta into d theta which is equal to integration 0 to pi this 2 and 2 get cancelled in place of r upper limit A square in bracket 1 minus cos theta bracket square into d theta. Therefore, area A is equal to integration 0 to pi A square in bracket 1 minus cos theta whole square d theta which is equal to A square into integration 0 to pi.  In order to integrate this trigonometric term should have degree 1, hence reduce cos square theta by using trigonometric formula 2 1 plus cos 2 theta divided by 2. Therefore integration is A square into bracket 0 to pi bracket 1 minus 2 cos theta plus 1 plus cos 2 theta divided by 2 into d theta which is equal to A square into integration 0 to pi this 1 plus half is 3 by 2 minus 2 cos theta plus cos 2 theta divided by 2 into d theta which is equal to integrate it now A square in bracket 3 by 2 into theta minus 2 times integration of cos theta is sin theta plus integration of cos 2 theta is sin 2 theta by 4 limits 0 to pi. Therefore required area A is equal to A square into bracket 3 by 2 theta minus 2 sin theta plus sin 2 theta by 4 limits 0 to pi which is equal to A square into bracket 3 by 2 into pi in place of theta substitute upper limit minus 2 times sin pi plus sin 2 pi by 4 minus now in place of each theta lower limit 0 0 plus 2 sin 0 minus sin 0 by 4. Now sin pi is 0 sin 2 pi is 0 sin 0 is 0 and therefore from this bracket we will left only with the first term 3 by 2 pi hence our final answer of area A is equal to 3 by 2 A square into pi example number 2. Find the total area of the curve R is equal to A into cos 2 theta now the curve is 4 leaves rows as shown in the diagram. In curve tracing we have learned that how to get these type of rows curves. So the curve is symmetrical to both initial line as well as a line perpendicular to initial line. So that to find area of rows curve it is convenient to find area of only one loop and multiplied by 4. So we are going to consider only one loop here. Now area of one loop is equal to again twice area of half loop because loop is again symmetric above the initial line and below the initial line and on the half loop above the initial line R varies from pole 0 to boundary R is equal to A cos 2 theta and theta varies from theta is equal to 0 to theta is equal to pi by 4. Therefore area has formula 4 times 4 loops so 4 times bracket twice area of half loop therefore 2 times integration 0 to pi by 4 inner integration 0 to A cos 2 theta R dr d theta which is equal to 8 times integration 0 to pi by 4 into inner integration is with respect to R. So R square by 2 limits 0 to A cos 2 theta d theta. Therefore area is equal to 4 times integration 0 to pi by 4 A square cos 2 theta d theta which is equal to 4 times integration 0 to pi by 4 A square outside in bracket reduce this cos square by using trigonometric formula to degree 1 as 1 plus cos 4 theta divided by 2 into d theta which is equal to 4 by 2 is 2 into A square constant and now integration of 1 is theta plus integration of cos 4 theta is sin 4 theta divided by 4 limits 0 to pi by 4 which is equal to 2 A square inside the big bracket in place of theta put upper limit pi by 4 plus sin 4 into bracket pi by 4 upon 4 minus lower limit 0 minus sin 4 times 0 by 4 so that now 4 4 get cancelled and it is sin pi. Sin pi by has value 0 and this is sin 0 has value 0. So from this bracket again we left only with the first term pi by 4 and hence area of the rose curve is pi into A square by 2.

Hey fellow buddies. Thanks for watching. All right, you guys Facebook members share their best toy Bolo, so you guys I decided to do a bonus category Share thread this month in my Facebook group because I absolutely love selling toys Let's get started and I want to see what you all are selling so Basically what I do is I post this screenshot in my Bolo buddies Facebook group and I invite members of the group to share their Unexpected or big-money Bolo items in the thread with a screenshot for a chance to have their item featured in a Bolo buddies video and Right now so far. I'm like posting all of them to a video as this continues to grow I may not be able to get every single Item featured I may have to pick and choose but for now I'm doing all of them So come on over join my Bolo buddies Facebook group. There's links down below Check the announcement section and watch for these posts I usually do one a month, but I added this bonus toy One in this month because we're getting close to Christmas and I just really want to see what you guys are selling for toys so now I do shout-out certain channels and Oh only if they share so if they are a Bolo buddies YouTube member I have memberships over on my Bolo buddies channel and you can learn more about that in the description But at the $4.99 level they get to be featured in a Bolo buddies video once a month So it's $4.99 a month and you get to be in this video if you guys have not seen that featured members video Go check it out. It is amazing. These Members are Bolo finders fantastic YouTube channels. Go check them out I've got their eBay stores linked and their YouTube channels linked in the description But as a bonus if they decide they want to share on the thread of this post I also shout their channels out. So if you hear me say Bolo buddies member, that's what that means So we are gonna start with Bolo buddies member mindful recycle her channel Amazing now. She is kind of slowing down on content So go over and watch a video and tell her we want more because I want more She's like taking a break and I'm like come on. I want to see what you're selling. She's amazing you guys You will definitely learn from her channel Okay, I went to a garage sale and she's the biggest state sale person. So I'm shocked This is a garage sale find a few weeks ago because they had Department 56 Halloween and Christmas items They never mentioned if they are Add In their ad that they had Mr. Christmas. I ended up picking up 20 of them I have already sold quite a few I paid 30 for this one and it sold for $350 you see what I mean like 30 to me is paying up But if I could flip that into 350 I'd do it So this is the Mr. Christmas gold label collection world's fair biplane ride carousel in a box Mr. Christmas has really fantastic items. Mr. Christmas can oftentimes be a Bolo. You definitely want to look up anything Mr. Christmas the next one comes from Rebel of the Rebel reseller again She is a Bolo buddies member her channel is amazing and I found her because she joined memberships same with Mindful recycle most of my members That's how I found their channels because most of them started out with small channels when they joined and you know I'm just helping them grow and It's easy to do because they're amazing. I mean these channels are awesome you guys, but anyway rebel the rebel reseller She's a Bolo finder. She sells plush and she Man is she knowledgeable and plush that I was watching a video just the other day It was one of her I think it was her first video ever where she was talking about her inventory You guys have got to go watch out watch that video how she has her inventory like it It's amazing. Just go watch it. That's all I got to say. It's fantastic Okay, she said I always tell my viewers to watch for plush made of terry cloth I believe I picked this bear up at a thrift store going out of business and paid $10 For a garbage bag full of plush so probably less than a dollar Took a best offer of $56. So you guys this is a very basic Looking teddy bear like most of you would probably just not even look twice at it. I know I wouldn't It's called soft dreams terry cloth bear pastel plush and it's a rattle with bunny slippers Now I will say this probably would have caught my eye because of those little bunny slippers And I probably would have looked it up, but it's sold for $56 you guys. How cool is that? Okay, the next item bought this little lady just because of her name I had no idea she was hard to find found at a thrift store for $5 and sold for ask full asking price of 125 It says Ivy cottage violet pickles Ragdoll from 1990 and it looks like it's a storybook doll So never heard of it. It's darling. I probably would have picked it up Also just for the fact that it's new in the box and for $5 I would have taken a chance because more than likely it's going to be a bread and butter item But this turned out to be a big money item. So awesome. Thank you so much everyone for sharing Bought at the bins and maybe paid 25 cents for all of them They were two inches long and sold them pretty quick sold for full asking price of $44 and 99 cents So they are vintage Mini pound bunnies not puppies pound bunnies you guys two inch Louis Galop toys Never seen such a thing, but look at that Bolo. I love it This is why I love doing these videos because I learn so much. Thank you guys all so much for sharing Okay, I think I just said that but I really do mean it okay Let's see this one says Paid $2.99 cents at Second Avenue thrift shop even though this was listed on eBay for a year I was running a 30% off promotion at the time I cross posted it cross posted it to Facebook marketplace last month when they were offering buyers free shipping It sold in a week for full asking price and Facebook covered the shipping Facebook has a lot of these promo things going on right now. I'm dabbling in Facebook I actually have a video where I show you how to cross post from eBay to Facebook marketplace using list perfectly It's an extension. I love it. I've been using it since 2019. It is amazing. If you want to check out that video It looks like this and You can use coupon referral code Bolo buddies all one word to get 30% off your first month if you watch the video and Check it out and it looks like something you could use I also have a list perfectly video looks like this that shows you how I list things from eBay to Mercury and Poshmark Those are my three main platforms. That's how I use it all the time You do have the option to list into list perfectly's catalog and that will save you time when you're delisting items I just manually take mine down. It's probably not the best choice But that's how I do it and I'm just kind of set in my ways. I'm not saying my ways are right definitely use the catalog but Yeah, if you want to try it Bolo buddies all one word 30% off your first month. Okay, so what did she sell? This is a 10 buck to board game. Hmm Sold for $49 so it was listed on eBay wasn't moving. She cross posted it to Facebook and it sold in A week for full asking price you guys it happens all the time like Different platforms have different eyes. I tell you guys all the time Like if you're not cross posting at least try one other platform. Just get your feet wet. See what you think I mean It took somebody months and months and months to talk me into Putting my items on other platforms and that was before there was a cross posting service available Now you guys you have help you have list perfectly $49 a month and you are gonna be bulk cross posting You're gonna pay that with a couple sales and the amount of time it's gonna save you and the extra money You're gonna make from all those extra sales totally worth it And you can try it for 30% off with fellow buddies coupon code all one word seriously you guys I love it I'm if you guys watch me on a regular basis. I have what sold videos for Mercari I have what sold for Poshmark and I sell hard goods Hard goods on those platforms. So Poshmark is not only Clothes anymore. So if you didn't know that definitely go check out those what sold videos, you'll see what I mean It's amazing. Okay paid 50 cents at a local thrift store. It is an American girl doll. Her name is Ruthie It's kids best friend. I know nothing about American girl dolls. I have heard of kit I think I've sold some of her clothes This one's from 2008 and is retired and sold for $57 on Mercari If you guys want to join Mercari and Poshmark I do have links down below that will get you coupons if you use those links to sign up and then I get a coupon to shop Also, so I would really appreciate it if you guys use my links You don't have to if you know somebody better than me by all means use theirs But if you don't please use mine, I greatly appreciate it All right, not sure if you consider a puzzle a toy But bought this for 50 cents at a church thrift store and sold for a hundred and sixty five dollars One piece was missing. Oh you guys There was a piece missing and it still sold for a hundred and sixty five dollars. Are you hearing this in three days? Oh It's a vintage springbok jigsaw puzzle the Christmas house Unbelievable now I will tell you if it had a thousand pieces like this says it does I would not have picked it up if it was open because I am not counting the pieces and I'm not putting it together No, this next one is amazing picked up for free from Facebook neighborhood free group and sold the same day for $1,000 now I will tell you I think the one I sold was blue. It was a screen mask It was blue. I think it was Easter Unlimited. Mine did not sell for a thousand dollars. I have never seen orange So if you guys see these masks, it says this one is a fun world screen mask Okay, so on the bottom of the chin underneath the chin it will say fun world division. Those are the ones that go for more money Easter Unlimited on the bottom of the chin can still go for big money not as big as the fun world division This one I I mean, it's hard to figure out if they're a gen one, but she says it's a gen one and I probably would have auctioned that because a gen one with an orange face. Wow Super rare. Okay Got this for about 75 cents sold in two weeks for full price the wiggles sell well for me I think I've sold some wiggles too So the Wiggles toy singing house play set by spin master and it works and it sold for 49 dollars and 99 cents And this is what it looks like Okay, you guys I know all about these so I bought a Mystery vintage toy box from auctions for you and I'll pop it up here She didn't share anything, but she is a bolo buddies member. So I'm gonna shout her out and tell you what I got So I paid a hundred dollars for this vintage box And it was full of vintage toys you guys it was One of the most fun boxes I've ever gotten and I actually have another box that I bought and I have not gotten to it I am such a slacker it is sitting in a cabinet just waiting to be listed, but it's a huge box of vintage toys and The reason I'm putting it off is because I list every single item in the box And I pop up screen shares and I show you how I listed everything I do have a video on the first box that I did and I made Tons of money on it. It was fantastic and I learned so much about different vintage toys So if you guys want to learn more about toys go check out that video just for the educational aspect of it I've sold so much. I mean Things that I didn't think would sell there were a couple broken things and things with stains But because they were vintage I still listed them and they sold they were a bolo. So That video is definitely worth the watch Okay So one of the items that I had in there were like five of these little hand puppet glow worms and they look Like this, but I think I had five and I think I sold them in a lot and I can't remember what it sold for but it's in that video. It may actually be on the thumbnail But this is an example of it says cost me zero was my one of my first sales I only started last month. Well, awesome. And thank you for being here and sharing what you're learning. We appreciate you Got positive feedback.  So This one sold for 12.99. And again, it depends on which character it is Um, okay This one is a clothing item. So I'm gonna skip that one Okay They just put it under the wrong post Okay, so purchased in a lot of about 10 small toys on facebook marketplace for five dollars Was letting my toddler play with it because I didn't think it was anything It took a couple of months and a couple of price drops, but got full asking price. Are you guys ready for this? 102 dollars on mercury. You guys mercury is awesome for selling toys. I'm gonna tell you right now I love selling toys on mercury. Uh, I do pretty good on posh marker also But this is a um, it's game chill and char. They're like they look like dragons I don't know Maybe a game piece But yeah, 102 dollars plus shipping Pretty cool, right? All right, the next item saw on facebook marketplace posts for yard sale leftovers free at the curb This was one of the items sold full asking price for 39 dollars and 99 cents plus shipping in about three weeks It is a vintage 2001 jumbo scooby-doo 32 inch plush. Um, he's like a laying down plush stuffed animal. You guys plush is great. Um I I do great with plush. I've sold some scooby-dos so I believe it and free is awesome. Okay. This one comes from bolo buddies member. Um Um Nikki love snacks Here's her channel. So definitely go check her out. Give her a sub. It says I really don't source toys much But we always do well on vintage marbles can usually buy them in a jar for a couple of dollars at a thrift stores and flea markets These bid up on auction for us paid six dollars buyer bid up to 51 dollars I feel like auctions lose money could have probably sold higher at a buy it now So I totally get what she's saying and typically what I will do is I will start my auction out at the minimum I'm willing to take. Um, and then if it doesn't sell I will Hire the price and put it on a buy it now or best offer But these are pretty cool marbles. You know, that's one thing that I think Are I think they're really cool and I always buy them and then I never list them because I'm always afraid that I have like some Really high dollar marble that I'm gonna lose out on so They're sitting all over that house in different money piles All right, you guys The next one got this hand puppet plush on facebook marketplace and a huge bundle of plush Picked out five toys for 30 dollars. So essentially paid seven dollars and 50 cents for it sold on auction for $1,000 now that is um I think in australia. So it looks like that The conversion would be seven hundred and seventy dollars and fifteen cents usd Still it's a hand puppet Okay, so it's a super rare princess sally acorn plush hand puppet from 1997 Sega world sonic. So it's a sega and Definitely look up sega items for sure Okay, this one sold the some in the summer So I had to track it down in my inbox bought at goodwill for two dollars came with all the pieces in the box Veggie tails. I always pick up veggie tails. So it is a christian based book series dvd series vhs veggie tails toys But it's christian based So the items are a little bit harder to find because they were not as mass produced as like barbie dolls and you know Certain things like that but um, you can still find them. I have done very well with veggie tails even the plush This sold for 38 dollars and 88 cents and the buyer paid shipping The next item bought in a bag of plush average cost per item was 25 cents sold in one day for 59 dollars and 99 cents Plus five dollars and 10 cents shipping.  Um, oh my goodness. I cannot think of what they're called Security blanket, but they they call them something else. You guys let me know in the comments I can't think of what it is But this is a jelly cat and jelly cat is a bolo item Definitely be on the lookout for that brand of plush if you can find it and get it for a good price Um, if it's a higher price look it up because comps do vary from bread and butter to big money But jelly cat's good. Uh, this sold for 59 dollars and 99 cents plus shipping. I think I already said that. Sorry Okay, you guys This sold back in may I think I sold it for five hundred and ten dollars plus shipping auction style The buyer was surprised it didn't go higher I'm surprised too.  Definitely a bolo item. This one has care bears on it Five hundred and ten dollars you guys Amazing Okay, let's see Obvious to most but newbies might not know about original red line hot wheels 1969 to 1977 sold a single car once for $12,600. So you guys the wheels are black and on the inner I don't want to say The inner part of the tire. There's a red line that goes around in a circle. Um, That's how you can, um, identify them now. They do range Some of them go for $12,600. Some of them go for 15 or 20 depends on condition model rarity All that stuff is rarity or rarity Let me know you guys don't let me know in the comments. You always help me out with that Okay, um Let's see So somebody asked how do you know it's a red line and I'm going to read to you guys what he said just to Maybe he knows more than me, which I'm sure he does. It sounds like he does. He sold one for $12,000 Yep, muscle cars from the 60s and 70s real ones often sported red lines around the interior Perimeter of the wheel. Yeah, that's what I meant to say, you know I'm like, you know the black part and on the inside. There's a red circle Around the interior perimeter of the wheel Yes There you go Now if I can remember that Mattel copied that when producing the first eight years of cars But as they ran into financial issues in the late 70s, they were looking to cut costs Eliminating the red stripes saved money But be careful as they were reproduced in the 90s and are currently being made to Gotta do some research if they say vintage on the base or have a hot wheels flame logo somewhere on the car They're not originals and are not worth much Wow, okay So let me read that again They were reproduced in the 90s and are currently being made to Gotta do some research if they say vintage They're not vintage Um on the base or have a hot wheels flame logo hot wheels flame logo somewhere on the car They're not originals and not worth much. Okay. So that's another thing that's going on with lisa frank So we used to know that lisa frank was vintage because the older stuff had a capital l and a capital f Apparently they're now making things with capital l and capital f. So you got to be careful with that Another thing the big e-leavies. I've heard they're bringing the big e back also. So um Usually denim older denim is you know, you're probably not going to mix it up with new denim But I guess it's a possibility. So those are definitely a couple things to keep in mind So All right, you guys i'm gonna end this one here. I have enough to do another video So there is going to be a part two of the toys bolo This is currently still active. I don't know if it will be when I actually post this video But you can go and check the announcement section of my bolo buddies facebook group And if it's still there feel free to leave a comment And if it's not look for the new post because I will turn comments off when I make the video because um That's just easier. So um that way people don't think they're going to be in the video and then not be in the video I just turn the comments off. All right, you guys. Thank you for being here. Thank you for watching Be sure to like comment subscribe and share Um, if you know somebody you think could benefit from this video, please share it out I'm trying to grow the channel And getting more people over here and you guys can help me do that. So I appreciate you all. Thank you for watching and have a great night Be sure to check out the description of the video like comment share and subscribe. Thanks for watching


Forgive me father for I have sinned. The greatest sin there is is to give electronic art to your money and I just might have bought points for the new superstar bundle. I hope you can overlook this minor lapse in judgment. I will be getting baptized again because I know how bad of a sin this is. Additionally I beat my meat seven times today. I hope you can look past that as well. I have to feed my 14 children and I really badly need YouTube content. This is not an excuse. This is just my circumstances and I hope you can understand and forgive. Amen. I said I wouldn't do it. I mean I literally said guys I am not spending any more money on packs and here we are. I have no willpower. I have no self-control. Okay I will say partially I'm a little scared of getting banned again this year and I'm looking at 90,000 coins and I've got a wheel of muck to record so let's just chalk it up to that's why I'm doing this. Either way we're going to open up the 40 times superstars bundle. There is some sexy looking cards. 90 pack of homes. I'll get to all that at the end. Let's rip this poppy open. I think I might actually make this a pack and play. Depending on what I get I'll probably just throw all the good stuff I get in from this pack opening onto a lineup and then we'll have something to play with. Additionally there's 40 packs that we got and the three toppers. There's four limited time legends in packs right now although I don't think I've ever seen anyone pull one yet so I don't think this is the pack forward either. Either way there goes my 12,000 madden points. It's time for this pack opening. Superstar's pack. Okay that's one of the gold. It's really easy to tell when they're the gold. DeSean Jackson. Not really what I was going for but all right. I really want to see the elite animation. I'm really used to the gold. That's the gold animation. I haven't seen the elite animation yet. Christian Kirk. Each of these is worth a decent amount. We can throw them in the set and probably get pretty close to Pat Mahomes. Jerome Baker. Come on boys. Come on. I want to see this elite animation. Don't do this to me Madden. Madden I will grab those things. I got fellow blizzy and I didn't even let the animation run through. Okay question question question.  Okay so there's a house right there. There's like a little one two three thing right there and then in the top right there's like a little present. I don't know what any of that means. Okay X Factor first one free tier one ability. Someone wants to help me out. Yeah I'm kind of supposed to be the person who knows this stuff and tells you guys but I just don't know. So definitely the gold animation there. A.J. Can. Headed. Randomly got an elite player. It's Marvin Jones too. Badass. And Eddie Goldman. Oh wait is the animation the exact same? Kind of feels like the animation is the exact same. See I can't tell. Is that a gold? Okay it is. Let's see if we can spot the difference. That's a gold if there is one. That's a gold according to what. Oh okay there's no there's no difference. But hey I'm taking every single one of these elites is worth like 35 some thousand coins. So it's actually really big to be pulling these. Josh Jackson solid. Yeah I think there's a 90 overall Odell too. I might just have to buy them and get gameplay if I don't have coins. Do you see my predicament boys? Do you see my predicament? Patrick DeMarco. Elite. Elite. Elite. No. See the other thing I don't think the like Patrick Mahomes is in the packs and I can't say that for a fact. Oh Eddie Goldman. Beautiful. Thank you. Can't say that for a fact because I just straight up don't know but I feel like the best thing I can really pull in these is the 84s and the 85s. Which is actually kind of sad. But it's actually going to be worth so many coins and hopefully I can get stuff to sell by the end and I'll be able to grab somebody to do some gameplay with. I want that Odell. Everybody and their mom is going to do gameplay on the Patrick Mahomes so I want the Odell. 84 Anthony Barr. First time pulling that one. Okay I think I pulled almost all of them. Eddie Goldman, Brandon Williams, Philip Lindsey, Anthony Barr. I don't know who's left. I think there's a Josh and 85 Josh Johnson. That's what we're missing right now. Oh when we get the fantasy pack so I can choose. Oh dude our squad's going to be dope. I'll do a pack and play with what we got here and then after I sell them off I'll try and snag Odell. I think that'll work. Alex Anzeloff. No thank you. Is all I have to say that. Bruce Irvin has one. What is this promo even? It's called Mutt Superstars. Is it just players who- Oh okay that's a new one. Avery Williamson. What? I don't get this promo. It's just like players who have always been good in Mutt. I'm not complaining. It's kind of cool. I like the card art. I like the like light goldish almost. And we got DeMarco again. Just gotta love that. And this is going to make for a decent packet play spot. I got Philip Lindsey at Hatback. What I really need is a QB. Are you going to give me a QB or do I have to use like a gold for my bench? Okay we're on to the fantasy pack. I'm interested to see what players I didn't pull. So I didn't pull Paratus. I know that for sure. I did pull Avery Williamson. Did not pull Alesson Jeffrey. Oh there's a golden tape. John Johnson. How was your last name Johnson?  Like John? Maybe they really wanted John. Nick Chubb. Did not know there's a Nick Chubb. There's Barr, Bouye, Philip Lindsey, and Brian Bulaga. Who do we want? What does our squad need? We kind of need a wide receiver. Because I don't think I pulled one. I definitely pulled a Philip Lindsey. I kind of want golden tape. Damn Alesson Jeffrey actually looks a little bit better in golden tape. Nah. Yeah I'll be Alesson Jeffrey. Alright so we got Alesson Jeffrey. We got another one of these packs. Okay so we've got a wide receiver. I could use a John Johnson honestly. I could use that strong safety. That's actually gonna be really good. And then for the final one I think I'm gonna take Bouye. So I have a corner. Yeah it's too bad there's not a QB though because we're shorted in the QB department. Alright beautiful. Alright here's what the team looks like with the best overalls subbed in. Alesson Jeffrey is my third best wide receiver. I'll use the Mots super stars Patrick Mahomes though. You get this for free. He's way worse than my Baker but it is a pack in place so I gotta like somewhat play by the rules here. DeMarco's in a fullback. Jesse James and Travis Kels here the tight ends. Don't worry I use both tight ends. Avery Williamson and Anthony Barr are middle linebackers both. Then we got Khalil and Demario Davis. Malik Hooker Hooker Hooker Hooker. Eddie Goldman Brandon Williams AJ Bouye John Johnson. Alright that's the pack in place squad 82 overall definitely the best team I've ever gotten to play with. Without further ado let's hop into a game. Also if you guys are keeping up with Wheel of Mutt usually my head to head online is just for Wheel of Mutt but I streamed and lost a game which was not part of Wheel of Mutt so if I can win this game here I'll make up for that. It'll make sense when you watch Wheel of Mutt but don't worry. That's my top three right? That's totally my top three unless we have very similar top threes.  That's the Patrick Mahomes I was talking about. The one that my opponent has who has the Madden Championship Series jerseys on that's the one I was talking about. Alright yep I'm scared. I'm really really really really scared of what that Patrick Mahomes is probably going to do to me. He's going to lob one Tori Holt for 26 yards. Good start boys. Anthony Bar has an X Factor ability. Oh I think that's what the Mutt Superstar does. Okay just broke my ankles. Man coverage underneath let's see if he runs the ball. He does not run the ball. He's going to lob one deep on fourth and one. Malik Hooker's got it and that's kind of like a punt for him because now I'm on the 20 instead of the 40 but very good defense. I don't know why he elected to do that. Tryhard pants are coming on for this one. Perfect throw. Tyree kills got it for 21 yards. Nice throw my crappy version of Patrick Mahomes. That's a sketchy pass. Oh my god he's got it. Okay okay okay. Third and 12. Again we're in a sketchy situation. Boom Julio Jones is wide. That's a touchdown. That's a touchdown. That's a touchdown. Let's go. God squad can't stop the pack and play squad. Wow he feeds Zach Hurts and I missed the tackle. Twice I missed the tackle twice. So I didn't realize each of these superstar players has their own X Factor ability. I didn't that's what the thing on the card means obviously. I thought you had to like buy those with training but that is apparently not the case. Big hit fumble. Williamson's got it. Oh my god I thought we could all take that back. What a hit. We just rock Zach Hurts. Seven to three. Offense is gonna be tough. A little pitch pass to Barclay and I should have made a juke there. There's a lot of opportunity in that and I did not capitalize. Fourth and nine. Who wants to get open? Julio. No kidding me. That's such a letdown. That's such a letdown because I had that so easily. First and goal is this the run play that I'm expecting? I really am expecting a run play. Not the run play I was expecting.  Big hit. Good work. Got one yard out of that. Oh that's a run play. Dude what? Terry Cohen just forward stiff armed. Dude he's like 160 pounds. Okay. Okay my home. No. Get you from behind.  Terry Cohen. How did he break all those tackles? This is starting to get away from me here. We started out strong. Okay RB is so open that. Dude how? How did that ball go? Where? Oh my god he's so bad. I could never done this dude. 80 overall QV. This is so hard. Dude I can't even throw it. I'm literally screaming to click the Y button. I literally cannot throw it.  Feeling is open downfield get a juke. All right. Okay wait a minute.  Oh my god this Terry Cohen is on a crack. I am hopeless. Derek Brooks has five five sacks. He's blitzing five. I am blocking five. Five sacks. So that we're all on the same page. Hey I got a touchdown though. Are you fast enough Lula Jones? Can you all run this man? Probably totally can. That's what I've been trying to do this entire time but my home's either misses the throw I get sacks or I don't pick. He lobs one deep. Let's go. Wait a second. A minute 42. I have the ball. That should be open. Eight yards right there.  Julio. Julio. Let's go. It's on the clock. Julio Jones. 21 to 20. Oh my god he dropped it.  Go get him. Go get him. That's my ball. God squad dude 21 to 20. He had literally the best possible team that you can have. Bar none the best possible team you could have. That was insane. All right ladies and gentlemen that's gonna conclude today's video. I hope you enjoyed this was a blast to make.  I'll see you guys in the next video. Peace out.


We're just days away from the high school fall sports season, but the Bemidji Lumberjacks athletic department had one more fun outing on the golf course today as it hosted the Lumberjacks scramble golf tournament at the Bemidji town and country club golf course. This is the 23rd year for the double shotgun tournament, which benefits the Bemidji Lumberjack Foundation with supporting student activities at both Bemidji middle and high schools. The event has raised over $600,000 in the history of the event, an event that is not possible without the support of the entire community. It'll be over $50,000. Again, we fill up usually around March, April, and we have, I can't even tell you how many whole sponsors from individuals who will sponsor a whole to obviously the businesses, the community of Bemidji that has been extremely supportive of this. While the total from this year's tournament is unknown, it raised nearly $52,000 from the Bemidji Lumberjack Foundation in 2016.

If you are familiar with NASCAR, the American stock car racing organization that has maintained a stranglehold on the race Sunday by Monday genre of motorsports, then you'll probably know about the accompanying Xfinity series. In basic terms, it is a minor league system similar to baseballs, where a team will sign young talent to a contract and delegate them to drive a car in said series. It is a spectator sport in of itself, with races being broadcast to and taking up the lower tier spots in a network's schedule. It thus may surprise some that a minor league is not a new concept. From the late 80s to the mid 90s, NASCAR ran the sportsman series, using almost exactly the same philosophy as the later Xfinity series, except it got much less attention. Even further back in time, we have the mouthful that was the NASCAR Grand National East series, again, same concept but with a rather unique twist, races would exclusively be held on the east coast, a region where NASCAR had not fully broken into yet, and still really hasn't to this day. There are only two tracks, worth mentioning that have any real stake in NASCAR's history, New Hampshire Motor Speedway and Watkins Glen, the latter track is especially important here. NASCAR only started full time racing in those two locations in 1990 and 1986 respectively, despite the fact that Watkins Glen had been around since 1956. To define the track, it is a winding and treacherous road course that was mainly built for open wheel racing, and in fact was the main track for the F1 American Grand Prix for a majority of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. All of this is to say that the east coast was rather uncharted territory for NASCAR, which is what made the Grand National East series so unique, as it was less of a minor league and more of a test for NASCAR to get their toes into the eastern market. And given the stereotypes of stock car racing, it may surprise you to hear that a following was starting to build. Crowds of hundreds turned to thousands, and local radio stations started live coverage of races starting in 1972. By the end of the 1973 season, it had become such a success that the high rubs at NASCAR were beginning to explore new possibilities to break further into the eastern audience. New tracks were proposed, and deals were starting to be made with local television stations to broadcast races to their respective regions. One such station, SWNYTV, was the first to come to an agreement with NASCAR, and they were to broadcast the final race of the 1973 season with their sports broadcasting team, the Pinewood 300, a 300 mile, 89 lap race held at Watkins Glen International, which had been the season finale ever since 1970. The station was to send two camera crews and their two sports casters in James Reeves and Bill Dory, two young guns looking to break into the larger sports media, and given the momentum NASCAR was starting to gain, they jumped on the opportunity to cover the race. On race day, it was a quiet chilly day following a couple spurts of sprinkling rain. As scheduled, the cameras and broadcasters were on site. One crew was positioned among the bleachers to get a wide view of the track just as a larger station would, while the other was positioned at turn five, a long circular turn where drivers transitioned from the long straight back stretch into a winding section of track, known as, the boot. Dory are in the broadcast booth, and as such, are given a wide view of the track. As scheduled, the race starts at 2.36 pm, and lap after lap goes by without a hitch. A crowd of nearly 8,000 watched as souped-up pony cars word around the track, with a majority of the laps being led by veteran Tiny Lund, usual journeyman Norm Donaldson, and a rookie named David Goodwin. There had been crashes and wrecks, just like any race held at the Glen, but none that ended up in anyone getting seriously hurt. The worst that happened was a driver named, Johnny Darfield, getting a concussion after rolling his car once or twice in lap 36, going at a relatively low 70 miles per hour. At lap 82, however something happened. Goodwin, the rookie mentioned before, had lost control of his car going into turn five, at around the same place the second camera crew was set up. He had been in second behind Lund, with both quite the sizable distance ahead of everyone else, following a caution where they both had been the only ones to not pit, before turning too late and sending his car spinning side-overside. Eyewitnesses count anywhere from 10 to 25 revolutions, and crashing into the retaining wall and catch fence. His fuel tank had ruptured, and as his car came to a standstill with the driver's door facing up, something sparked and ignited the leaking gasoline, sending the totaled car into an inferno. Incredibly, Goodwin was able to clamber out of the car, and get away from the wreck. Unfortunately, the only way to run was into the racetrack, and as Goodwin had taken a couple of steps into the road, the car of Norm Donaldson struck him as it was starting to turn. Keep in mind, the camera had been on Goodwin this whole time, as they had gotten away from the fire, and according to eyewitnesses who saw the broadcast live, the camera feed was focused on Goodwin running away from the wreck as Donaldson's car struck him. Descriptions vary, but most seem to agree that the scene was gruesome. Some swore they saw eyeballs fly out of Goodwin's head, others believe they saw his helmet get knocked off with such force that it partially tore off his scalp, recalling a spray of blood as the helmet left. Following the fatal impact, Donaldson turned with such force that his own car flipped over, surely a late reaction to seeing the fleeing Goodwin. The other drivers, who had been following close behind, lost control as well. As ten or so cars piled up at the bottom of the turn, one car belonging to Anthony Hill had its bottom internals exposed, and as Carlton Wallace unwittingly ran into it, the entire pile descended into hell. The entire portion of the track that the drivers were piled up at had been engulfed in fire, and it took one of the on-site fire trucks along with an emergency response team courtesy of the local fire department, in order to get everything extinguished. The final death toll included Goodwin, Hill, Wallace and eight other drivers cocked in the fire. Donaldson barely survived with severe burns. He resides in his hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina, and refuses to speak of the incident. Needless to say, officials at the track called the race off. The leader at the time of the wreck, Tiny Lund, was declared the winner of the race and the season cup, but it was small news compared to what had happened. NASCAR had soured in the mouths of those who had witnessed the race, seen it on the broadcast, or just heard about it through word of mouth. In order to prevent circulation of the disaster, NASCAR covertly bought out SWNYTD, immediately seized the recording of the race, and dissolved the company, unceremoniously ending the careers of the camera crews, James Reeves, and Bill Dory. He is presumed to still reside in NASCAR's vault to this day, and is considered to be lost media.  The following is the said transcript, along with rough estimates of what is happening on the track, in order to fill in the blanks. Donaldson's making a bit of a push, coming through the 90 degree turn. He's got a lot of room to make up for. That Goodwin... And there's been a crash. Goodwin, the rookie in the number 57 car, flips into the loop turn. Wow, that's a nasty impact, and there's a fire. His Camaro is invoked in flames. He's running out from the wreck. By the looks of things, he's fine, thanks. Oh my goodness, Bill. Well up, folks. My partner has left the booth, and the camera crew's station trackside appears to have fled the scene. There is a large pile up following the A, accident involving the young Mr. Goodwin. Lund has slowed by the S's. There's a car and... Oh my god. I am sorry, folks, but this race has ended. You may tune out now.
