Minnesota player fighting for life after collapsing on court
A high school boys basketball player in Minnesota continues to fight for his life after collapsing on the court with what is believed to be a previously unknown heart defect.
According to the Associated Press and Minneapolis Star-Tribune, 17-year-old Zach Gabbard, the player to the right in the photo at right, collapsed on Thursday night while competing for his Perham (Minn.) High basketball team in a game at Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton (Minn.) High. According to KARE TV in Minneapolis, an emergency room nurse who happened to be in the crowd supporting D-G-F rushed onto the court to check for a pulse, then began chest compressions on the teen when one couldn't be found. A doctor at the game helped hold the player's mouth open while an electronic defibrillator was used until emergency technicians arrived and transported Gabbard to Sanford Medical Center in Fargo, N.D., the nearest city to the Western Minnesota game.
"Game was going up and down ... and he fell down in front of (the Perham) bench," D-G-F Activities Director Craig Anderson told KARE. "Their bench went out to help him, and we had an emergency room nurse in the stands who is a D-G-F'er."
The quick thinking from the nurse, a 40-year-old Glyndon resident named Debbie Cuchna, and the still unidentified doctor at the game helped bridge a 10-minute gap between when Gabbard collapsed and when the ambulance arrived, a period in which emotions were understandably running high. Gabbard's father rushed down from the stands, struggling to comprehend his son lying on the court, as Cuchna told the Star-Tribune.
"It was incredibly quiet," Cuchna said. The boy's father, Steve Gabbard, came to his son's side, she said, and she asked him if there was anything he needed.
"He said, 'The only thing I need is Zach,'" said Cuchna, who had not met the family before Thursday. "My family and the whole community are definitely praying for him."
Gabbard underwent emergency heart surgery in Fargo, and has was airlifted to Minneapolis on Sunday, where he is recovering at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. His personal web page on CaringBridge.org, a site dedicated to updating loved ones on a patient's care and helping fundraise for their medical expenses, claims that Gabbard began showing some signs of improvement overnight Saturday and Sunday, but that he is still in critical condition.
"Last night was a very good night overall, and Zach is starting to show signs of response," the player's parents wrote at CaringBridge.org/ZachGabbard. "So continue to keep your prayers and thoughts coming this way as it seems to be working."
If they are working, Gabbard got more help in that area on Sunday, with a special prayer service held on his behalf at Calvary Lutheran Church in his hometown of Perham.

Custom type and logotype design for GREYHOURS
GREYHOURS is a new European luxury watch brand. In their own words: "It's the result of a meeting of young entrepreneurs with a dream: the perfect watch, financially accessible to all and not just to a chosen few. Their ambition? Create a surprising watch brand, both classic and trendy, while taking advantage of exclusive materials commonly used for the manufacture of exceptional high-end timepieces". Perfection and commitment to quality are key factors in the GREYHOURS atelier.
The creative director asked me to design a custom logo that would match the attributes of the brand but also meet the functional requirements. My first approach was to learn more about the product and the technical limitations, and offer solutions based on this briefing:
Hype, moderate, modern, classy, mature (neutral & mysterious)
· The logo will be UVI printed in the front and engraved on the watch back.
· Upper case letters to work letter spaced and generous in proportions, to give a contemporary approach.
· Readable on small sizes: Open counters, slightly condensed to enlarge the body size as much as possible.
· It will work along with the customization done by illustrators and artists with uncluttered illustrations that will also match to the watch design.
Maximum width: 25 mm in the watch back and 7,5 -8 mm in the front
My proposal consisted of a geometric sans serif distinctive typeface, a little bit uncommon, simple, but very well designed, very readable, modern and sophisticated. Here you can see part of the process.
This is how it looks applied on the fabulous watches and on the website (as seen in an iPad).

BOARDMAN Comp Fi 2010, £499, www.boardmanbikes.com
- By London Cycling Campaign on at 4:03pm 29 April 2011
- Posted in: Bikes
- Tagged with: hybrid, boardman, bikes
This is our first look at the all-new range of women's-specific bikes from Boardman, which also includes road and mtb models in similarly elegant white livery with pink accents. It's fair to say that not all our testers appreciated the pink touches (bit overly girlie), though there was little quibbling about the finish of the lightweight aluminium frame and straight-blade fork.
As we've come to expect after testing the men's range, component spec is nothing short of amazing on a bike at this price: SRAM X5 gearing, Avid Juicy 3 hydraulic disc brakes, Truvativ Touro 48/34T compact chainset and Maxxis Detonator tyres. The Ritchey finishing kit is also good quality but it's where we felt this bike fell down.
The flat bar is too wide and the stem too long for most women; on the small size our 5ft 5in tester found the reach excessive and uncomfortable. On checking, the geometry measured ok for average women's physiology (longer legs, shorter torsos), with a top-tube that's 2.5cm shorter than the men's equivalent, but it was undone by that stem/bar combo.
As far as riding goes, however, the Comp Fi performs more like a decent road bike — it's extremely nippy, handling's responsive and the brakes extremely reassuring. Ideal for a speedy, sporty commuter with a couple of tweaks.
PROS Amazing spec, especially drivetrain and brakes
CONS Sizing, bars/stem

MSNBC Host Asks if Israel is 'Obstacle' Between Iran and the U.S.
MSNBC host Chris Hayes tried last night to get an antiwar Democratic congresswoman to answer whether Israel is an "obstacle" to great relations and bonding between Iran and the U.S.
Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) said she wasn't surprised at new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's deliberate conciliatory tone, "but what's important is that the president, our president gave a magnificent speech calling for a diplomatic opening, diplomatic initiative."
"We know it's going to be very tough as we, of course, heard today. But I think we need to applaud President Obama for really ensuring the rest of the world that he's going to take that step and it's going to be slow, but I've offered the legislation for many years now calling for a special envoy as it relates to Iran. And also, you know, getting rid of this no-contact policy that we have," she said.
"I believe that in order to seek global peace and security, reduce the threat of Iran achieving and getting a nuclear bomb, that we have to have bilateral talks between the highest levels in our government," Lee added.
Hayes asked if "there's going to be growing political pressure on the president to not make sure that he moves too quickly toward diplomacy."
"I think there will be. But I also think there will be growing numbers of voices in our own country calling for a strong diplomatic effort, because no one wants Iran to have a nuclear bomb," Lee said. "...We do not believe the world should have any more nuclear weapons. We need to disarm and that's the only way we're going to achieve global peace. So, you know, we're going to see both sides, I think, digging in."
Hayes noted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "red line" speech last year at the UN. "Is Israel an obstacle to a diplomatic settlement between the U.S. and Iran?" he asked.
"I visited Israel many times. And, of course, Israel quite naturally should be concerned about Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon, just as we should be," Lee responded. "And so, I believe, as I said earlier, we have to take every step we can to make sure that nonproliferation and the nuclear capability for a bomb is not there. And so, we have to ensure that what the president, our president, the steps that he is taking right now succeed, and that's going to be a tough road to walk but..."
"Is Israel an obstacle?" Hayes pressed.
"I don't believe Israel is an obstacle. I believe that the Middle East would be a much safer place if we reduce the tensions and really insist that nuclear weapons become not the weapon of the world," Lee said. "And that is an extremely important part of our foreign policy that we need to embrace very quickly."
Netanyahu speaks before the UN next Tuesday.

wikiHow to Make Pine Pitch Salve
Three Parts:Mixing Your IngredientsBoiling Your SalveTaking PrecautionsCommunity Q&A
Pine salve is a substance you can make using pine sap, beeswax, and oil. It can be used on the skin to promote healing. To make pine salve, you will to obtain sap from a pine tree. From there, you can cook your ingredients for a few days in order to make your salve. Be careful when using your pine salve. It is very messy, so take extra measures to keep it off your clothing and skin.
Part 1
Mixing Your Ingredients
1Locate your pine pitch. If you live in a rural area, you can get pine pitch straight off of trees. You can see pine pitch oozing out of the bark of pine trees, as pitch is used to heal wounds and keep bark strong.[1]
- Use your hands on a small container to harvest pitch. Gently peel off pitch that's oozing out of a tree and place it in your container. Keep gathering pitch until you have about a third of a jar's worth.
- As trees need pitch for their own care, do not take too much from any one tree. Harvest a small amount of pitch from various trees until you have enough to make salve.
2Divide your pine pitch, if necessary. In some cases, you may end up with bits of pine pitch that are in hard chunks. Separate these chunks from the more liquid-like pine pitch and then break down the chunks by hand.[2]
- Break the hard chunks into small pieces. The smaller the pieces, the quicker the chunks will break down when you're making your salve.
3Fill a jar 1/3 of the way full with pitch. Once your pitch is gathered and prepared, take a mason jar. Take a jar that is large enough to make the amount of salve you want. Fill it about a third of the way full with pitch.[3]
- Make sure to use a jar you do not intend to use again. Pine pitch is very sticky and you cannot reuse the jar after using it to make salve.
4Add organic plant oil. You can use any type of organic plant oil that you want. You can, for example, use olive oil, coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or any other organic plant out. Fill the jar the rest of the way with organic plant oil.[4]
- You should aim for a ratio of roughly one part pitch and two parts plant oil.
Part 2
Boiling Your Salve
1Assemble your jar in a pot. Take a large pot and place a piece of cheese cloth or an old cloth on the bottom of the pan. Set your jar on top of this. Fill your pot with about 2 to 3 inches of water, making sure not to cover the jar.[5]
2Warm the water. Place the water on the stove. Allow the water to warm up over low heat. Do not allow the water to boil. You just want the water to get warm.[6]
3Leave the jar in the water for three to four hours. Keep the water temperature warm by leaving your pot on the heat. Allow the pot to sit for three to four hours. On occasion, remove the jar from the water and shake it to mix it.[7]
4Remove the jar from the heat. After the first three to four hours have passed, remove the pot from the heat. Cover the pot and jar with a cloth and allow it to sit covered for an addition one to three hours.[8]
5Repeat the warming process. Again, warm the jar in water over low heat. Allow it to sit for three to four hours, shaking the jar on occasion. After repeating the process, remove the pot from the heat. Cover your jar and pot and allow it to sit overnight.[9]
- Place your pot and jar out of reach of children and pets. You do not want it disturbed overnight.
6Repeat the process for three days. Every day for three days, repeat the same process. Warm your water over low heat and allow the jar to sit in it. Shake it on occasion to mix the ingredients. Set it off the heat, covered, for one to three hours. Repeat the warning process once and let the jar and pot sit covered overnight.[10]
7Add beeswax. After three days have passed, the solid parts of the pine pitch will settle on the bottom of the jar. At this point, you can add beeswax to the mixture. Just pour it on top of the mixture and then heat everything up together.[11]
- You should add one to two ounces of beeswax for every eight ounces of oil you used.
- Melt the beeswax into the oil by placing the jar in warm water again. Once melted, you can remove your salve from the heat and store it in tins and jars in a cool, dry part of your home.
Part 3
Taking Precautions
1Cover your work surface before beginning. Making pine salve is a very messy process. Before you begin, you should cover your work surface. Lay down paper towels, plastic sheets, and other protective covering to keep the mess in check.[12]
2Remove the pitch carefully from skin and clothing. Pitch will get suck to skin and clothing when you gather it and as you're making your salve. Make sure to remove it carefully when this issue arises.[13]
- Butter, lip balm, and sunscreen can remove pitch from your skin.
- Pitch can be removed from your skin with any type of rubbing alcohol.
3Wash your hands throughout the process. Your hands will gets sticky as you handle pine pitch. Pause and wash your hands on occasion while working. If your hands get too sticky, it will be very difficult to navigate your kitchen so wash your hands as you go along.[14]

Painting with light is a fun technique that gives great results. It is called painting with light because this is what you are actually doing while taking the shot - painting with light.
Light Moves: Walkabout: Dave Black's Lightpainting Methods
The intriguing thing about lightpainting is you never know exactly what you're going to get. And whatever you get, you won't get it again. That's part of the technique's appeal: you're creating a one-of-a-kind photograph.
Simply, a lightpainting photo is an image made with a handheld, constant light source in a dark room or environment. The camera's sensor captures only what you choose to illuminate. Lightpainting images can range from relatively simple to fairly complicated. Striking photos can be created indoors with nothing more than a still life subject, a tabletop to put it on, and a small LED penlight to light it. Or you can think big: how about a mega-powerful spotlight illuminating prairie land in the Grand Tetons or a mesa in Monument Valley?
For Dave Black, lightpainting fits well with his desire to create unique, imaginative images that grab, direct, and hold viewers' attention.
No matter the scope of the lightpainting image, Dave's technique and his choice of gear don't vary all that much. As a general guideline, he suggests a 30-second exposure at f/8 and ISO 400 as a good starting point. For exposures longer than 30 seconds, he'll often use a wireless remote release to open and close the shutter. He'll use autofocus to render his subject sharp as he's setting up the shot, then he'll turn it off; obviously, he doesn't want the AF system hunting for focus as he's walking around in the scene. But he always turns on the long exposure noise-reduction feature of his Nikon D-SLRs.
He generally advises against metering a lightpainting image, though he will meter if there's ambient light in the scene and then use the reading as a starting point for his exposure.
Most of his lightpainting is done with short to medium zooms; his 24-70mm is a favorite. Of course, a tripod is essential; Dave's Gitzo carbon-fiber model is "substantial," but still lightweight.
And then there are the flashlights. In their order of increasing size and power, the three lights Dave uses are a Stylus Penlight (from Streamlight), a Bolt (from Inova), and a two-million candlepower Max Million II (from Brinkmann).
The look of a lightpainting will be determined by how close he brings the light to the subject, how he moves the light, how long he keeps it on, and how quickly or slowly he walks. Lightpainting means lots of trial and error, especially at first; and there are lots of images shot for each setup and situation. At workshops Dave tells his students that a dozen or more tries for one shot isn't unusual. He also suggests they start with a tabletop setup to try out the technique.
Dave also points out that it's called lightpainting for a reason, so a gentle circular or brushing motion is often ideal when applying the light. He likes to wrap the light around his subjects, in effect softening the edges. Most important is to keep the light moving rather than holding it steadily on the subject in order to achieve a soft, transitional edge. And it's much more flattering to the subject to have the light coming in at an angle from an off-camera position.
So how did Dave use these guidelines and techniques to make the photos you see here? I thought you'd never ask.
Fly Hooks. Dave used a 36mm extension tube on his 28-300mm zoom to get in close for this one-minute exposure. The Stylus Penlight provided the light, and helping out was a bit of homemade light control in the form of two pieces of cardboard, taped together to form a sandwich-like snoot. He inserted the Stylus into one end and pinched the other end to a 1⁄16-inch opening. The result was a thin shaft of light that went exactly where he wanted it.
Colt 45 Cartridge. The 1896 Peacemaker was clamped to a workbench so the smoke would rise naturally around it. To produce and capture the smoke, Dave struck a wooden match, then blew it out and turned on the Stylus. The entire exposure took 30 seconds. Dave had set his camera for a cool white balance (3030 Kelvin) and used a warming gel over the flashlight's bulb. He painted the cartridge for about five seconds, then removed the gel and applied seven seconds of light to each of two other portions of the revolver.
Quit'n Time. If you work with people for lightpainting images, be sure they're in comfortable positions and know ahead of time how long they'll have to remain still (in this case the cowboy had to hold his pose for one minute). And since the face is the most likely part of the body to move, paint it first. If there's a blink or twitch after that, you and your light will be elsewhere in the scene. "There are lots of parts to the lightpainting puzzle in this image," Dave says. "The clock, his face, boots, spurs, the skull, the flag—I applied a few seconds of light with the Bolt to all of them. I call them the supporting characters." Dave tells students in his classes not to forget the supporting characters in any picture, but to draw attention to them especially in a lightpainting scene.
Cruisers. They were comfortable enough to hold the pose for the 30-second exposure, but Dave did encourage some movement: while he used the Bolt to featherdust some light onto objects away from the cruisers, the front rider was able to touch the brake and click the headlight to add those lights to the image. The dark glasses make the couple look extra cool, but they also hide blinking.
Starlight Serenade. No, Dave didn't light the Grand Tetons. "The light you see at the tops of the mountains comes from the moon, which was still below the horizon," he says. "The light on the prairie and the house—that was me." Dave made an eight-minute exposure, lightpainting with a Max Million II. "I needed eight minutes to get the star trails, but only about 45 seconds of lightpainting on the house; then I walked, illuminating little bits of the prairie. The idea was to get just a touch of moonlight to the top of the Tetons and lightpaint the rest."
West Mitten After Midnight. "A lot of lighting schemes are essentially a triangle configuration, with the camera, the subject, and the light source forming the points," Dave says. "The camera was a little over a mile and a quarter from West Mitten Butte [in Monument Valley]. I was about a mile and a quarter to the right of the camera, parallel to the rock, with two Max Million lights." An assistant triggered the camera and, via walkie-talkie, helped guide Dave's positioning of the light. "The wind was blowing about 40 miles an hour, kicking up dust everywhere. We used our vehicles as a windbreak for the camera, but as soon as I turned on the Max Millions, the dust lit up. As I was sweeping the light up and down, over the walkie-talkie my assistant was telling me, 'It looks good, keep it there.'" You might be able to see two stars in the night sky—one directly above the butte, the other to the right and a bit lower than the first. "They appear to be motionless," Dave says, "and people wonder how that could be during a 20-minute exposure. Well, the cloud cover obscured the stars for most of the exposure, but it broke for about 30 seconds—just long enough for the stars to register fairly sharply in the photo."
Finally, an important point about images like the last two: even though they employ the same basic principles as the pictures of the fly hooks and the Colt, they require a lot more care and preparation. Before you set off into the night on a lightpainting adventure, do a thorough daylight recon of the territory to familiarize yourself with gullies, ravines, rocks, washes, and other possible hazards. Only the final image should be a surprise.

A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

To set the scene: USM, like most public universities in the United States, was seeing annual tuition hikes, while simultaneously cutting faculty, staff, and fighting back against staff unionization. Post 9-11, Democrats were obsessed with being the party of "fiscal responsibility" in order to win some sort of imaginary political messaging game against the Republicans, despite the Democrats holding control over all three branches of Government in Maine. Our "fiscally responsible" Democrats oversaw the giving away of tax dollars to business, under the pretext of jobs and growth. This lost revenue, with the addition of accounting errors in the Department of Health and Human Services led to a budget shortfall, which rather than addressing this budget shortfall through minor restructuring of Maine's basically flat income tax brackets, Democrats instead led the charge to use the University of Maine System fund as their personal piggy-bank, which caused a budget shortfall in the U Maine system, which trickled down to the University of Southern Maine in the form of department consolidation, laid off faculty, and reduced staff.

How Beer culture destroyed my family and Cambodian lives
I asked people around and they told me, 'they don't know too.' But they noticed that there were few ambulances from different hospitals both private and public came to take all people to the hospital. My next mission was to find out all my family members in each hospitals in Phnom Penh city. I don't where to begin. However, I got a clue that there must be some private hopitals nearby came to take my family members as well.
I went to the nearby hospitals and I found three of them. Two were already passed away, very saddend moment to me. I began my work then on. I did not ask the doctors in that hospitals why they let my mom and my lovely little nephew dead. I just did my work by calling friends to help. I forwarded my remaining families to the public hospital and I called to the crematory center for permission to cremate my mom and nephew. I asked my friends to handle for a while those dead body at the temple. I went to officially register the remaning a live in the public hospital. Then I came back to the cremation center for the last ceremony.
I still was searching for my other family members. One after another, they called me that my father is in this hospital, my little sister is in that hospital, my grandma is in another hospital... Then I came to take them in one big, public hospital. For about 15 days, I can't sleep. I have to run from one hospital to another to deal with many issues such as finance, giving blood, x-ray, foods, cleaning...etc.
This is how my life begin. After everything setlled, I asked my family members why this thing happened to them while driving car back home. They told me that it was nothing else than beer. Nobody hit our car. We drove our car into that cruel accident. We didn't crush with any other cars, humans except killing our own family.
While driving our family back home, the driver was drunk. He insisted that he is not drunk; he can drive it. Of course, he could drive for already 200 kilometers from Prey Veng Province to Kampong Speu but he failed to reach the destination.
I blamed nobody. I know it was because of beer. We drink a lot beer in Cambodia. It is now become our culture to drink, regardless of any events or ceremony. We drink beer in all occasions both religous and non-religous events. When wedding party, we drink beer; birthday party, we drink beer; funeral ceremony, we also drink beer; and Pchum Ben which supposed to be a sad event we, the Cambodian, also choose to drink beer to cheer the event.
Why we got this culture? Who to blame? Why it is so popular like this? Do they recognize any damages from this culture? I believe they know it both all people and the government but why no action. Some people would say it is because government did not take serious action to discourage drinking beer but I feel like people have no pressure to the government to take action.
If beer culture is resulting bad to our people's lives and need to very quick response why we have to wait for action from the government. Why don't we start from ourselves? Each of us is killing our family members and the whole nation if we keep this culture alive. It is noteworthy to note that every day there are at least five to ten traffic accidents causing by drunk driving or beer related problems. And every day there are 2 to 7 Cambodian people get killed because of these traffic accident. Much worse than HIV/AIDS that used to be the number one killer in Cambodia, traffic accident gains its way to the top now. Many people lost their love ones because of this. When I go out to work, I never feel sure about my life. I do not if it will be me or my family suffered from traffic accident since the proportion of killing by traffic accident is very high.
Why not reducing or giving up drinking beer if we need our family members stay with us longer. Why don't we stop drinking beer if we our Cambodia grow faster and become a civilized nation as it used to be in Angkor Empire. Think of it again, please!. I hope my real story can help change all of you from this suffering.

How Dwolla's Access API quickly allowed fintech platform, Sweep to get to market.
UPDATE: Sweep has been acquired by Affirm and this Dwolla integration is no longer active.
Download the case study as a PDF
According to the Center for Financial Services Innovation, consumers who have regular savings habits are 4X more likely to be financially healthy than those who don't. Unfortunately, 57% of Americans still struggle financially and more than 72% suffer from stress and anxiety related to money (American Psychological Association). Sweep hopes to fix that.
Problem: A consumer fintech platform wanted to offer its customers an automated savings product using bank-to-bank transfers. The company needed to meet all regulatory and compliance requirements in an aggressive timeline.
Results: The company integrated Dwolla's Access API to facilitate ACH transfers in around 40 hours and successfully announced product on-stage at Money2020.
The Situation
Sweep was created to help young, millennial consumers save and stay ahead of their needs. After downloading Sweep's mobile app, users connect the platform to their bank accounts and then organize their funds into "buckets" for goals, expenses and bills.
From the very beginning, the vision and roadmap included automating these savings behaviors to fill those buckets and grow savings according to the user's needs. For example, a user who created a "Wedding" bucket would be able to automatically transfer $100 from her main checking account at a multinational bank each payday to a savings account associated with the goal—in this case, say, at her local credit union. Unfortunately, Sweep encountered a number of regulatory and technical hurdles that prevented them from including and automating bank-to-bank transfers in its initial launch earlier in 2015.
The Challenges
Lacking this functionality to programmatically transfer funds meant users had to visit separate online banking portals and manually transfer funds between banks to fulfill their savings goals. Automating the process was critical for millennials and they didn't have it, yet.
"Unfortunately, our ideas were too new for the banks and traditional payments processors. We considered building our own payments gateway but the banking relationship and compliance requirements would have blown up our roadmap and crippled our product plan. We needed an innovative technology partner with a proven banking relationship."
CEO and Co-founder, Jackson Gates
Time to market
An end-to-end payments solution would require a direct banking relationship and 3-6 months of development time, not including the upfront compliance and regulatory hurdles. Other payment gateways were working on new banking relationships but couldn't guarantee a timeline or necessary functionality. Sweep needed an immediate solution.
Solution: Unlike other payments solutions, which used non-descriptive and difficult to parse XML, Sweep leveraged Dwolla's "clear and concise API documentation and excellent engineering and customer support" to build the solution in around 40 hours.
Outcome: With Dwolla's Access API, Sweep was testing live payments within days, and completed all production testing in time for its Money 2020 announcement.
Regulation and compliance concerns
In addition to the time and cost associated with compliance and regulatory requirements, the uncertain and shifting regulatory climate made it difficult to predict the mid- to long-term needs of supporting a proprietary payments infrastructure.
Solution: Through Dwolla's API and built-in processes, Sweep outsourced its payments back end, including bank transfers via ACH, to Dwolla. By partnering with Dwolla, Sweep leveraged Dwolla's experience for managing the compliance, fraud, and security elements of its payments experience.
Outcome: Sweep launched its automated savings product with fixed and comparatively minimal direct and indirect costs. By leveraging Dwolla's banking relationships, Sweep avoided holding customer funds or inserting itself in the funds-flow, thereby reducing regulatory and compliance challenges.
Core functionality and user experience
Sweep's strength is its ability to create a simple, beautiful mobile interface and user experience. The company was wary of integrating any functionality that would feel foreign to the app or confuse the customer.
Solution: Dwolla's payments platform helps with handling KYC, customer records, adding bank accounts, and initiating ad-hoc and recurring transfers using event-based webhooks. The White Label bank transfer API allows Sweep to offer a seamless user experience while maintaining the look and feel of the Sweep app.
Outcome: Today, Sweep users enjoy a full-featured, powerful savings tool embedded in a Sweep branded, beautiful mobile experience.
