Waching daily Apr 26 2017

hello welcome on back to TutsByKai

I'm Kai and today we're getting started

making a 2d ring graphic. I previously

made a tutorial on how to make a circle

2d motion graphic and it was requested

that I do a more of a ring style, so

pretty much just have a circle in the

middle of it... so that's all we're going

to do today so we're going to get

started and delete the default cube with

the delete and left click, the lamp same

way and the camera. we're going to hit 1

on our numpad I'm using the middle mouse

button to move around my scene by the

way; clicking on it and we're gonna hit one on

my numpad to go into the front-facing

view, we're gonna go to create and scroll

down until you find the camera and click

camera, we're going to drag that back and

hit 0 to go into the camera's view

things are going to get a bit different

here than the first tutorial this is

where things change a bit so we're going

to add in a plane, we're going to drag

this open a little bit, we're going to add

in a plane just like we did before plane

and we're gonna hit R X 90 on our keyboard

to rotate that on the x-axis 90 degrees

I'm going to zoom in and hit tab on our

keyboard... this brings up the edit mode

and now what we need to do is we need to

add in two cuts on the on the on the z

and the x-axis so the way we do this is

we go to tools and then hit loop cut and

slide now this is a tool that we can use

to cut an object in half. so we're going

to add one there, we're just gonna click

and this pink line appears once you go to the

edge of the of an

object goes pink so we're going to hit

one there boom we're just gonna click

so I can drag this around, so we're

going to right click to cancel that

movement and I'm going to add another

loop cut and slide just one right there

right on the edge and then right click

to cancel the movement so now we have

four squares pretty much is what you're

seeing right? four squares and what we

can do with these is do what we need to

do (laughs) so we need to add in one more loop

cut and slide I'm going to add that

right here as you can tell it's

segmented by by the cuts so we could cut

directly on the center before but now we

have a few more options so we're going

to cut right there once there

boom so now we have all the vertices

we need we're going to is going to

delete all of these that we don't need

because we don't need any of these

except for the first two we don't need

anything but this one and this one we

need the top one and the one right here

in the middle there so we're going to

delete all of these other vertices

because we don't need them they're gone

all right so now we pretty much just

have this line and I know you're

thinking Kai how do you make a circle

from a line the same way we've done it

before

and the way we do as we go over to the

modifiers tab and we're going to add

modifier and go to screw look at that

boom now we instantly have a ring 2d

graphic so pretty much this is where it

gets back on the same track as being the

same as my previous tutorial whew didn't

see that I'll put a link up I put a card

up on the screen right about now and

you'll be able to see that if you need

to see it so pretty much what we just

did was we made a a screw screw pretty

much just takes two vertices and in

rotates them and tell it just

duplicates them there, duplicate them

there there there if I hit apply on

this you can see that all of the

vertices go like this but it's very very

low resolution I'm going to undo that

it's very very low steps it's only 16 so

we're going to drag this all the way up

to 512 512 is the max it this is nice on

the steps for viewing it but if I

render this like this as you can tell it

still looks like the 16 by 16 because we

didn't up because we didn't up the

render step so we need update as well

make sure you don't forget that that's

very important so now we pretty much

have a donut or if you want to if you

want to lower this a lot more you can

make an actual screw like a bolt looks

pretty cool

so let's put that back up now the way we

animate this is we go to the zero frame

make sure it says it says 0 on the start and

we're going to do the same thing we did

before so we're going to put this on

zero zero on the zero frame and we're

going to hit I on our keyboard make sure you hover

your cursor inside the angle box and hit

I on your keyboard and then we're going

to go to the fifth frame and we're going

to type in 250 oops 250 and then we're

going to hit I just like that right oh I

seem to have lost seem to have lost a

plane there

I'm on the wrong I'm on the wrong layer

right there that was weird all right so

uh huh make sure that says 215 hit on

your keyboard to insert that keyframe so

now we have it going from being 0 to 250

so now we needed to finish up we're

going to the 15th frame give it a bit of

time to finish up and we're going to 360

hit 360 on your keyboard hit I now we

have the full the full animation here

this is what it does... boom just like that perfect

right if you want to change this

thickness the way you do this is really

cool

if you go back into tab mode as you can

tell if you drag this bottom vertice or

the top vertice if you drag this bottom

vertice you can make it smaller on the fly

right there it's amazing this is super

super handy stuff and the way we can

animate this it's actually as you can

tell you can't animate in tab you can

edit in edit mode you can't add

keyframes in edit mode which is a shame

by how we work around that as we go over

here to the data tab object data and we

hit and we click that now this this

whole panel brings up shape keys shape

keys is something we can use to insert

keyframes in edit mode which is super

cool stuff so we're going to add in not

an edit mode because we can't do an edit

mode we can click this plus over here

twice hit that plus twice to bring up basis

and key 1 now pretty much because this

was nothing it did nothing we have to

animate this ourselves so pretty much

this basis is telling it's telling this

plane this circle now now we need to

keep it the way it is and then key 1 is

saying we need to change it so what we

need to change it to is this when you

hit tab and we need to drag this to this

top vertice up here but as you can tell

I can't get that perfect there's always

going to be a bit of a line there if I

render this excuse me if I drag the

value up and then render this you can

see you can see there's a line there

instead of trying to get this perfect

you know scrolling all the way in and

you know getting it perfect like that

I'm never going to get it 100% perfect

so let's undo that a way we can get is

absolutely 100% perfectly is we can add

uh... we can add in snap mode the magnet

down here if you click that and then we

make sure this is on vertex mode

then we move this up as you can tell it

snaps right to that vertice so now it's

perfect so if we release that, hit tab

again you can tell that this line is

completely gone if I if I get rid of

that you can't see the line at all the

line is no longer there you can't see it

anymore a hundred percent perfect lined

up perfectly but now the problem is is

like I won't be able to grab this guy

because there's nothing for me to grab

it's it's completely scaled to zero so I

have to hit this plane up here

if I hit plane then you should be able

to grab that that bad boy once again so

now the way we animate this is we go to

the zero frame and make sure this value's

on one and then hit I hover your cursor

inside this box and hit I now we're

going to go to the fifth frame or your

second frame whatever frame that's on

and then we're going to hit 0.4 like

that right and then hit I now we're

going to drag this all the way back down

go all the way down hit I... but

now that is pretty much it we have our

our circle and it gets smaller and it

you know it fills out as it as it zooms

around like that pretty cool stuff and

one last thing I'm going to do is I want

to rotate this as it's coming in so

we're going to hit I for rotation on the

first frame our first keyframe and then

on the fifth frame we're going to rotate

this by 25 degrees and then we're going

to hit rotation and then we're going to

go to the 15th frame and we're going to

our Y 45 and then I as you can tell

didn't do much because it's connected

but it did so this was like right there

so you can't really tell because going

the same way that it's coming so instead

of doing that we're going to undo that

and make sure all those those numbers we

just put in more negative so our Y

negative 25 I on our keyboard go to

the fifth frame our Y negative 45 enter

right so now it doesn't look like it

just stays still right so does that I'm

not sure why this last keyframe didn't

go in though that's weird

we're going to do a negative 45 again

and then hit I location- oh excuse me... I rotation... that's why I didn't go in

all right so there we go now that's good

there we go so now our animation is 100%

finished

it rotates as it comes in it gets bigger

it goes all the way around really cool

stuff here I really really enjoy making

these these 2d motion graphics tutorials

now I haven't seen a lot of people doing

motion graphics tutorials, so I'm glad I

can assist since we did this in Blender

Render you can always switch on over to

cycles since we didn't add any materials

anything like that and then hit on

motion blur make sure that's on because

this motion blur is a lot better than

the blender render motion blur so we're

going to make sure that says Ambient

Occlusion make sure this is all the way

black... hit use nodes so now we have our

100% stark white circle in our black

background with the perfect motion blur

that is good I'm going to use Cycles

Render for this... so that is pretty much

it for this tutorial I hope you enjoyed

it if you want to see more tutorials

just like this I post them weekly I'll

be posting more stuff just like this let

me know what you want to see down below

and for the next tutorial I'll see you

guys in the next one bye

Vision 21: Linking Systems of Care for Children and Youth State Demonstration Project - Duration: 33:55.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to today's webinar, Vision

21: Linking Systems of Care for Children and Youth State Demonstration Project. Hosted

by the Office for Victims of Crime. At this time,

I would like to introduce, Stacy Phillips of--with the

Office for Victims of Crime.

STACY PHILLIPS: Hi everyone, thank you, Mary Jo. So, if we take a look at our first slide,

we can go over the agenda. The agenda follows

the flow of the solicitation, so it would be good to

have a copy of it in front of you if you would like to follow along. We'll go over our purpose,

eligibility, partnerships/collaboration. We'll go through the goals and objectives. We'll

talk about phase one and phase two. We'll talk

about any special considerations, critical application

elements, how to apply information regarding the awards and then Q & A at the end. If you

would do me favor when you type in questions or even during your registration, if you can

type in your states that you're affiliated with,

we would greatly appreciate it. Next slide. So taking a

look at our purpose and background, this project continues the department's mission by

developing additional models for coordinated responses to affectively identity and assess

child and youth victims, and provide comprehensive

services. This project was originally funded in

2014 with two demonstration sites. They are currently Virginia and Montana with a concurrent

national evaluation. We are expanding the project at this time to include up to two

more states into the existing demonstration project. This

will help to better establish lessons learned, that

can be replicated across the Nation. Next slide. Taking a look at eligibility, public

agencies for example, state agencies, federally recognized

Indian tribal governments as determined by the

Secretary of the Interior, and units of local government are all eligible to apply. Units

of local government may partner as co-applicants, when

necessary to achieve the goals of this solicitation, however, a lead agency must be identified.

Under partnerships and collaboration, lead applicants must partner with a collaborative

body that includes at a minimum, victim services, for example, law enforcement; health

services; juvenile justice; courts; judges; educators and child care; families and community

members; community-,cultural-, and faith- based groups; and other state, tribal, and local entities.

Keep in mind, that partners should

collectively have expertise in victim services, including victim compensation, child and youth

victimization, child welfare, juvenile justice, law enforcement, mental health, law as it

pertains to this population, information technology, and

other key components identified by the applicants. These partners reflect many of the systems

that interface with youth and families on any given day.

While, each state may approach these issues somewhat differently and may engage

unique partners, OVC expects that as a--at a minimum,

the following systems are all active participants.

Partnerships and collaboration, this is a

requirement that our demonstration sites, technical

assistance provider, NIJ-funded evaluation, and OVC all collaborate on going throughout

the life of the project. All partners must fully participate

with the concurrent national evaluation. This is

very important as it is a demonstration site.

Moving forward to talk about goals and objectives,

you can refer to page six, on your solicitation. The primary goal of this solicitation is to

improve responses to child and youth victims and their

families by providing consistent, coordinated responses that address the presenting issues

and full range of victim needs. This goal will be

accomplished through the following objectives. Objective one, establish a collaborative body

or network of stakeholders. This must consist

of all the relevant systems--child welfare, juvenile

justice, victims services, for example, professionals, community groups and stakeholders,

including families that have interfaced with the system. It is expected that these child

youth family serving entities from across the state

will convene to develop a plan for collaboration and

communication moving forward. It is also expected that there will be meaningful involvement

from families and communities so that the project is guided by the needs of victims

and survivors. Objective two, conduct a gap analysis

and needs assessment. States will work with its stakeholders and an OVC-identified technical

assistance provider, to more fully identify all of

the relevant systems and stakeholders, review and analyze existing policies and protocols

of the partnering agencies and to identify strengths,

and gaps, and services, and resources. The gap

analysis and needs assessments process will allow states to identify strengths, gaps,

and areas of improvement. The findings from the gap analysis

and needs assessments will help formulate each state's strategy. Objective three, develop

a strategy. States will continue to work with its

stakeholders, and an OVC-identified technical assistance provider to develop a strategy

based on the state's needs and resources. This strategy

will also include developing a systematic method

to screen for victimization across entities. Developing protocols and procedures to ensure

children and families receive appropriate services and delivering staff training to

implement and sustain the practice statewide. And last objective,

number four, implement the strategy. States will continue to work with its stakeholders

and an OVC-identified technical assistance provider

to implement the strategy, grow its network as needed, identify and make changes as needed,

identify lesson learned to share broadly, and identify how the program will be sustained

after OVC grant funding has ended.

The demonstration

project will be conducted in two phases. The planning phase is phase one, consisting of

15 months. The implementation phase is phase two,

which would consist of 5 years. During the planning phase, participating states will

conduct a thorough needs assessment, including working

with their collaborative body and network of

stakeholders, to more fully identify all of the relevant systems and stakeholders. They

will review the existing policies and protocols

of the partnering agencies, to identify strengths and

gaps in services and resources, and to determine which agencies should be better linked. Based

on these findings, the states will then develop a plan to provide screening and services and

the corresponding training and assistance necessary

to achieve this for child and youth victims across all relevant systems. OVC anticipates

the inclusion of innovative, evidence-based methods to accomplish these tasks and to address

service gaps. Using the lessons learned from the work with the two--first two state sites,

the OVC-funded technical assistance provider will

work extensively with participating states throughout phase one to assist with establishing

a robust stakeholder network. Building capacity

of program staff, to facilitate collaborative meetings and decision making processes and

provide effective leadership on this project, providing peer-to-peer learning opportunities,

designing and implementing a thorough needs assessment in developing the strategy.

In phase two, participating states will implement the

strategy from phase one. The OVC-funded TA provider will continue to support the state

during their implementation effort. Refinements to

the strategy and its implementation will be made

throughout this phase to ensure the methods employed are as successful as possible.

Deliverables: During--This will include the following--A routinely updated list of network

stakeholders and a memoranda of understanding or letters of commitment to demonstrate their

project support, involvement, and active participation. A timeline of scheduled meetings, list of

participants, and action items taken from meetings held. A formal plan for network

collaboration, communication, and growth, including milestones of the plan. A completed

gap analysis or needs assessment in the form of

a report. A written strategy that outlines the state's

plan to implement the program including milestone updates and key findings of victimization

screening tool for use by all stakeholders, draft and final versions. A response protocol

that outlines the roles and functions of participating

agencies and stakeholders. A timeline of trainings and training materials delivered

incrementally and statewide. And contributions to a

national scope, lesson learned compendium, developed by the TA provider an active

participating including joint presentation at national conferences.

OVC will give special

considerations to applicants that have experience conducting comprehensive planning to respond

to child and youth issues using multidisciplinary partnerships, community and family

partnerships, balanced approaches, and data-driven strategies that demonstrate a desire to expand

their effort, to strengthen the response to child and youth victims across systems. Examples

of such initiative include the models for change

and the national policy academies on juvenile justice, behavioral help, and trauma organized

by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention and by Policy Research Associates.

Critical Application Elements, these include the

following. The Program Narrative, including the statement of the problem, project design,

and implementation, and capabilities, and competencies.

A project timeline MOUs and letters of commitment, budget detail worksheets, and

budget narratives, and you can see on page 27 of this

solicitation for a breakdown for the scoring that takes place during the review.

How to apply. Please refer to section, "How to Apply," on

page 32. All applicants must register in and submit

application through, Grants.gov. Submit application at least 72 hours prior to the application

due date. And I'm going to say that this is extremely

important because if you have issues, when you

are submitting your application, if you do not have a valid reason that is technical

based, your application will not be accepted. The following

conditions generally are insufficient to justify late submissions. Failure to register in SAM

or Grants.gov, in sufficient time. What we know is

that registration or renewal can take as long as 10 business days as well as transfer of

information from SAM to Grants.gov can take up to 48 hours. Failure to follow Grants.gov

instructions on how to register and apply is posted on its website. Failure to follow

each instruction in the OJP solicitation and technical

issues with the applicant's computer or information technology environment such as

issues with firewalls or browser incompatibility; all

of those are generally insufficient to justify late submissions. For the award information,

OVC expects to make up to two awards to two states

of up to $500,000 to cover phase one, which is

fifth--a 15-month period for awarded up to $1 million. OVC expects to make awards for

a 15-month period of performance to begin on October

1st in 2017. For information regarding funding for phase two, please refer to your

solicitations on page eight. In talking about the

cooperative agreement, this is very different than a grant. OVC will enter into a cooperative

agreement with successful applicants to ensure involvement in key decisions and direction

of the project. In furtherance of the goals and objectives

described, OVC's role will include the following. Reviewing and approving major plans

including changes to such plans and key decisions pertaining to project operations,

reviewing and approving major project generated documents, gap analysis, needs assessment

tools, screening tools, training materials, publications, providing guidance on significant

project plans, and participating in project-related training events or meetings, selecting a training

and technical assistance provider to guide and

advise state efforts. As the cooperative agreement, OVC will be conducting this initiative and

project together. Again, as we enter into the question and answer portion of this webinar,

please type in the state that you are from with your questions.

And even if you don't have a question,

if you wouldn't mind providing us with the states that are listening to this webinar right now,

we would greatly appreciate it.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: So, what--at this time, we are going to start the question and answer

portion of the webinar. Please, if you do have any questions submit them in the Q & A

and we will address them here.

We do have our--a

question that came in a little earlier. "Can the lead

applicant be public state university?"

BETHANY CASE: And OVC's response--this is Bethany Case. I'm a colleague of Stacy's,

also working on this program. And we'll just refer

you back to page one of the solicitation. OVC

really wants the lead applicant to be a unit of government that has the ability to convene

all of the necessary partners and--enter into--the

necessary memorandums of understanding, but other

partners are certain--certainly welcome as co-applicants to achieve the goals of the solicitation.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: Okay. At this time, we do not have any other questions, but I'm

obviously going to give you guys a little bit more time to see if you have anything.

Oh, "can you please discuss more how the funding awards

will be--what that process will be like for phase two?"

BETHANY CASE: Sure. And, Christine Gems, this is Bethany again. I'm going to refer you

back to pages--to pages--on pages five in the solicitation and page eight in the solicitation.

While, we envision this project as being long-term, which spans a total of six years, we have

to make those decisions on an annual basis because

that's how our funding is appropriated and we

have to seek approval from leaders every year. But for the exact language, please refer to

page five and page eight to, kind of, give you

an idea of the long-term vision for this program that we

have. And so, through the solicitation, we envision making two additional awards; so

bringing two states onboard for this effort, that Montana

and Virginia are already a part of. And if all

goes well, then we would like to--after phase one, planning is successfully concluded, continue--

provide supplemental funding to be able to continue the program.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: Before we move on to our next question, we are receiving some

questions in the chat box. If you could please submit this to the Q & A, it just makes it

a lot easier so we are--make sure that we don't

miss anybody. And with that said, there's also a

question about "where to download the solicitation." If you give me a few minutes, we'll go

ahead and we'll submit the URL in both the chat and the Q & A tab so that you can have

it, but it is located on ovc.gov under grants and funding.

You'll see the solicitation listed there, but we'll

also provide you the URL. So, we do have a question here. "Can the lead applicant be

the State Health Behavioral Health Agency?"

BETHANY CASE: And absolutely from, Greetings Texas. Certainly, you--we just again

referring you all back to page one, and similar to the answer that I gave above--I'm checking

the pages exactly. Similar to the answer that

I gave about the university, but actually not. Page one

of the eligibility, says as long as you are a public agency and that you have the ability

to convene all the necessary partners, that you can get

all those folks onboard, that you--but, yes, you could--

that could certainly be a lead agency. And let's see. Earlier in the Q & A, I provided

the link for the solicitation and a response to Donna.

And I see Donna has another question. "What do you

mean by victim? Are you referring to a victim of a crime or a child who is removed due to

abuse and neglect be considered a victim for the

purpose of this grant?" And, Donna, we encourage the state to tell us how they want to define

the scope for this project but it could include both of

those issues that you described. So, we're really encouraging folks to think broadly

for the purposes of the solicitation. And, Gina, has

a question. "May applicants focus their application on a specific type of victimization or victims

of a specific crime or must the application focus on

children and use victimization of any and all types?" And, Gina, it must focus on child

and youth victimization of any and all types.

And, Joe, "if a collaborative group does not presently

include a discipline, for example, law enforcement, may they submit strategies to engage that

group?" Joe, yes, absolutely. You may like to, you know, of course, reference the areas

of the solicitation that talk about the partnerships

that we are requesting. Page one and page five, and

page six. And just note that the scoring on page 27. Just really familiar--familiarize

yourself with what that scoring will look like and

then refer back to those areas so that you kind of have a

sense of how these areas will be weighted.

BETHAN CASE: Yeah, you want to read that?

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: There's a question here, "should the population of child victims be

specific, that is victims of child sexual abuse, or does it need to be more broadly defined?"

BETHANY CASE: And, Rachel, it needs to be more broadly defined. It needs to--it need

to tell us in your--okay. Jo, if...

BETHANY CASE: Okay. I need to stop reading the questions and just focus on one at a time.

It's so exciting. So, Rachel from South Dakota, yes, it needs to be more broadly defined.

But define that in terms of what your state has

identified the problem has been, but it also needs to be

grounded in research and recognizing that kids experience multiple types of victimization

and abuse and neglect.

BETHANY CASE: And then, Jo, clarifying. Proposals must focus on child victims of one or

more types of crime but do not need to focus on all types of child crimes. So, Jo, I would

just say that similar what we just described to

Rachel, tell us what the problem is in your state. And,

but also, you know, be sure you read in the solicitation where we're asking for you to

demonstrate what the problem is with data and research and what's affecting kids. But

we--the theme is--all really what we'are getting at

is our goal is to align all of the child and youth serving

organizations within a state to meet the needs of kids and families and caregivers, and not

excluding those services to certain types of type--crime types.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: At this time, I don't see any questions. I am going to go ahead

and check the chat box just to see if there's

anything that was missed. We do have a question, "about

the page limit for the narrative and somebody saying that they could not find that," but

we're trying to look at the solicitation and see

exactly where it may be. My apologies. If you can just

give us a minute or two.

BETHANY CASE: We may not have put a page limit in here. Goodness. So I'm going to say

that--can we request that this answer be asked by email to the contact on the solicitation

so that we can follow up to be sure we get them.

STACY PHILLIPS: Good answer.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: And right now, I am showing a screen that has contact information

for Lindsay Waldrop. She is the Victim Justice Program Specialist, and you may email her

with any questions that you have at the end of

this webinar that we--don't have time to address or

anything else that you think of. The program narrative is--information about that is listed

on page 12 of the solicitation, I believe. Sorry,

we are still looking for--your project abstract-- information about the project abstract is

listed on page 12 of the solicitation and information.

BETHANY CASE: We may have to do an addendum to clarifying things--what's left out, but

generally...

STACY PHILLIPS: Okay.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: Okay. So we will--yeah, Lindsay can get that information to you

once it's clarified. And at this time, I don't believe there are any other questions in the

queue. I was kind of giving you some time as we look

for the page for the narrative information. But I'll

give you a couple--a couple more seconds to see if there's anything else that comes to

mind that you would like to ask. And if not, then we

would end this webinar.

BETHANY CASE: Uh-hmm. Maybe a few minutes, just to--because we're pretty early.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: Yeah. And while we're waiting, as a reminder, the slides--the

recording, the slides, and a transcript will be posted to the OVC Website, which is ovc.gov

in approximately 10 business days. Everybody

that registered for the webinar will receive an email

when that has been posted and the email will contain direct links to all of those items,

so you will be notified as soon as possible when that's

been done. You can also view the solicitation at

ovc.gov under the Grants and Funding tab. You'll see the Linking Systems solicitation

there. The URL for that solicitation has also--have

been included in both the chat box as well as the Q

& A box. So you can go to it directly from there or you could actually copy it and save

that for yourself. We do have a question here. "Is

there any way to see what the current sites have produced?"

BETHANY CASE: So, Marisol, I would--this is Bethany again. Hello. And where was--it was Craig.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: It was Craig.

BETHANY CASE: Sorry, Craig. We provide in the solicitation links to a couple of documents.

So I'm going to start with the paper shuffling, but I'm going to just locate those two pages

of the solicitation for you to write down and then

refer back to and download. So we have a couple of

documents that have already been produced through the--through the projects so far.

So on page 13, about three quarters of the pit--the page

down, you notice there's something called,

"The Guiding Principles." So that's something that's been developed through this project so far.

And then there is also a--some information, I

think, on our website. Yup, on page five of the

solicitation, it provides the link to some more information about the status of the program.

BETHANY CASE: And let's see.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: "Are there any substance..."

BETHANY CASE: Sustainability?

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: Yes, "sustainability plan requirements be on the funding period?"

BETHANY CASE: Let's see. Do we write a final--yes. So, Marisol, I see--I'm going to answer

Marisol--both of Marisol's questions kind of at the same time.

BETHANY CASE: Sure. So Marisol's other question is "do we write the proposal for the 6

years or for the 15-month period only?" So we would encourage you to--I mean, the full--the

funding, the scope of the funding for the first phase is for 15 months. But if you and

your partners have plans--have some ideas about

how you would implement in the future, certainly include that because that would strengthen

your proposal and demonstrate your strong partnerships and your--and your plans or some

ideas. And sustainability plan, well, that would

be something that we would want to explore with you all during the life of the project;

how to sustain this effort beyond the life of the

grant. So there are no requirements that you need to

include in your proposal, but is--that is certainly a critical topic that OVC and your

Technical Assistance Providers will work with you to

figure out.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: We do have another question "about page limits per--anything

beyond the narrative such as the budget narrative and the abstract." Again, it does appear that

that information was not included in the solicitation. So if you could please email that question

directly to Lindsay. Her email address is currently showing on the slide that is up

right now. She will be able to address that question

for you. We apologize for that oversight.

BETHANY CASE: And there is one thing to add to that--this is Bethany, just jumping in--that

on page fifteen, under number four Budget and Associated Documentation, there is a budget

detail worksheet that's included there. So that is a form, and I believe that folks are

strongly encouraged to use the current form to submit

their application.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: These are some really good questions. Thank you so much.

BETHANY CASE: These are fantastic questions!

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: Again, we're--we don't have a lot here in the queue. So if you

haven't done so already, and you're--you would--you don't mind doing so, could you please tell

us what state you are from? We'd really appreciate that.

BETHANY CASE: We're just curious.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: Yes. Not going to impact you in any way.

BETHANY CASE: Nope, not at all. And we might even mute the phone and stay on for a few

minutes, so you don't hear our paper shuffling.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: So we just have another question. This is great. "As we apply for

this and thinking long term into phase two, is there any rough approximation available

for award size per year, giving current assumptions

with the existing two states that are either just starting

or approaching that phase?"

BETHANY CASE: Yes. So, previously, and this is public information. So on OVC's website,

there is also--so there is a Grants and Funding page, and you can see what funding opportunities

there are, but you can also see who has gotten what award and for how much in the past. So

I'm telling you public--publicly accessible information,

but the states were given--we kind of divided this up into 15-month increments, the planning

phase and then the subsequent implementation phase. And generally up to 500--up to $500,000

was provide for each 15 month implementation phase. But again, it's very early in the program,

and we would also encourage states to convey what the need is and what resources you need

to meet that need.

MARY JO GIOVACCHINI: All right. It does not appear that we're going to be receiving any

another questions at this time. So on behalf of Stacy and Bethany and all of OVC, we would

like to thank you so much for joining today's webinar,

and we look forward to receiving your proposals. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

How to get more followers to your blog | Tip For Tip Episode 54 - Duration: 5:35.

On today's episode we're going to talk

about how to get more followers to your

blog and how to get customers out of

your blog too.

Hello and welcome to

episode 54 of tip or tip where you ask

your marketing question in exchange for

a tip in your industry my name is Aaron

my name is Christian and today we have

Eva from Brightway Insurance.

We have an insurance blog where we write about

different insurance mistakes and myths

and I would like to know how we can

leverage this blog to promote our

business and get a little bit more

customers and how to get more followers for it.

Alright so a lot of people think

that just for having a blog building a

blog that people are going to come to

you that's not necessarily true we do

encourage everyone to write blog posts

and have a blog on your website but that

doesn't mean that people are just going

to flock to your website just because

you're writing blog posts so some things

to consider I know we wish something to

consider is the consistency of your

posts the the content the content should

be very specific and targeted to your

audience and make sure that is

beneficial for them make sure that it's

actionable content and make sure that

you're very thorough with your content also

once you write a Content blog piece you

just don't want to write and leave it on

your website you also want to share with

the social media don't overly do it

there's a certain way that you can do it

which is a little bit more engaging than

just sharing the link and another big

thing is use your email list and share

that blog post with your email list

that's a something really big and

another quick tip is to add comments or

allow comments on your on your blog

list so actually people who read your

stuff can actually comment on it maybe

add more insight to it and make sure to

comment back and respond to those people

right as they're all good rankings for

Google as well so mine is how to get it

out to more people so there's a site

called Quuu its Q-U-U-U.co

go there!

If it's a good blog post you can

publish it and get it on all the

platforms like Christians talking about

and it will spread you out to twenty to

thirty thousand different outlets or

thirty thousand people so it's quick you

have to have a good blog post up the

only caveat so write good content next

thing is the guest post get on other

people's blogs and then have them blog

for you and vice versa it actually helps

you another thing is to look at some

outreach software or do it yourself find

some influencers to take your blog and

put it on their website or talk about on

their social media and the last one is

to create a Facebook ad campaign around

your blog post and send people to your

website that way when we start out it's

usually like a dollar per click and then

as Facebook's algorithm really starts to

work it drops to like twenty to thirty

cents per click and that's people all

Facebook's you're targeting you want

those kind of people there to read your

blog so it's really inexpensive to send

those people to your website make sure

that song yeah

that's overall create good content yeah

alright

that is our tip let's hear your tip

right so you've probably noticed that

your car insurance rates have recently

increased or even jumped up a lot even

without a claim or speeding ticket well

this is because the losses the loss

risks are increasing and the insurance

companies are increasing their rate

because there is more vehicle complexity

people are driving longer and further

and also there's a lot of distracted

driving while texting so if your rate

has increased a color independent agent

and they can see they can place you with

different insurance company different

insurance companies are rate have a lot

of different rates because some of them

are trying to gain market share or some

of them follow the risks or a there is a

little bit differently so just call your

agent and they can place you with

somebody else and save you some money

yes I use an insurance group to go out

and find me different companies like

Geico and Progressive and they sort of

put it all in a piece of paper and tell

me like this is the insurance rate for

this

this is for that is for this one is for

that you can do please you can do that

you can do that one or this one it

doesn't matter but it's very good to go

through one of these insurance groups

because they actually shop for you and

not to do you do this or that

um yeah mine's actually very similar to

that that I've never really been a fan

of like farmers or like going into the

company right because they become

yeah cuz they all broke loose

yeah right exactly so that is a very

good tip and also I like this away from

that don't text and drive

Meet our members: Kim Henderson, Local 78B, School Bus driver for students with special needs - Duration: 1:28.

My name is Kim Henderson I work with Stock Transportation

and I'm a special needs school bus driver.

On the majority of our special needs buses, if they are designated specifically special

needs, it's a driver and a monitor, which is a secondary person.

She's my second hand.

We're a pair.

We're a complete team.

We work together to get the kids picked up and dropped off at the school, and picked

up at the school and dropped off back at home.

Safety is paramount number one.

If I'm not comfortable knowing I wouldn't carry my own children on the bus, then no

other children will be carried on my bus.

We need to make sure that they get to school safely.

We need to make sure that they're picked up safely and we're just one piece of that machine

that gets that done.

I love my job.

A good day is when one of my little buddies gets on the bus and says "Good morning, Kim."

and the one other little fella that we were told would never walk, walks to the bus.

Those are good days.
