Ms. Mehotra today at Screenage is going to be discussing and talking about unlocking your app marketing automation. Driving mobile app promotion in a COVID-19 world. Hi, Ms. Mehotra. It's nice to have you here, ma'am. And the floor's all yours. Over to you. Thank you very much, Pallavi. I'm going to share my screen as well, because I do have a PowerPoint.  And I would like to thank Exchange for Media for having me here. We have 25 minutes and lots to cover. So buckle up, and we get on to the exciting journey. All right, so maybe I'll just get started, assuming that my screen is visible, and so am I. Out of 7.7 billion people in the world, 60%, over 60% of them actually live inside the small circle that you see. And this circle, by the way, also is the fastest growing in the world. India is, as you can see, a part of this circle. And you can see that there are more people that live inside this circle than outside of this circle. And very interesting thing is that India is one of the fastest growing economies as well. Also, I think it's extremely diverse. It's a diverse nation. There are 23 languages. We have 415 dialects. We have 19,500 mother tongues and over a million dishes in the country. And when people say that they have one India strategy to acquire users at scale to build demand or have a product market fit, it actually confuses me a lot. There's one thing in common. We all love our beloved phones. The picture that you see on the top is I clicked while I was passing through a school in college a few days back. There's one thing in common. Everybody is glued to their phones. Last year, 70% of all internet visits were on mobile. And this number continues to grow. And why is this growing? Large and growing middle class, skipping desktop, and moving straight to mobile. Mind you, this is the nation. This is the country. Where a lot of people actually have never experienced a desktop or a laptop. This is the generation that moved straight to their mobile phones. So for a lot of ways, this is their first camera, their first TV, their first music store. And most importantly, this is how they connect with the world. Every day, 80 billion messages are shared on WhatsApp, Facebook, and all other social media combined. And if I talk about India specifically, there is a population which is, again, a young and middle class. Post-COVID, I think the digital transformation went on a turbo state. Because it was not just the want. It also became the need of the hour. And therefore, the need got even more pronounced. Average time spent on social media is over five and a half hours today. And mobile has changed user behavior completely. People do not want to wait for answers. People do not want to stand in queues. People do not want to wait in line to get to any kind of gratification either. People are expecting instant gratification. Picture this. When you get an Uber ride and the app shows you four minutes, but driver arrives in eight minutes, you're already completely disengaged. Or if I sent a message on WhatsApp stating that, hey, guys, I'm excited to all my friends. And hey, guys, there's a new bar that has opened up. Why don't we go and have a quick drink? And if I don't hear back from them in 15 minutes, I am thinking that they are thinking it's a bad idea already. And last, if I look at booking.com's business, same day reservations have gone up dramatically in the last couple of years. So it brings us to three things. Number one, on one hand, mobile as a platform is gaining so much traction. Number two, messenger or messages is the way to communicate. And third thing is that artificial intelligence machine learning that will personalize the content that we're sharing on the platform. So where does this take us? Let's turn to what happened in China. Let's look at this platform. It started as a messaging platform and very quickly morphed into a super app. And it's called WeChat. And this is empowering people to live their lives on phone only. Everyday hundreds and thousands of customers are interacting with millions of businesses and even government services. So if you want to apply for a permit, get a visa, everything is done through this channel. So if anything, China is a predictive to what's going to happen to the rest of the world and why I'm saying this is because they embark on the mobile revolution much faster than any other country in the world, including some of the Western countries like Europe or North America. So as a business, it's important for us to understand are we mobile ready? Are we innovating fast enough? Is our businesses ready to target these mobile users? Are we communicating with the users on the medium that they're most comfortable in? And the situation is actually even more grim, especially when we send text messages on WhatsApp, Facebook, over 100 times a day. And there is a key gap in how we communicate with the businesses and delivering value. Very interesting. Other key trend that we see also is, and I already mentioned that we spend five and a half hours on our phone today, but how are we going online? Google isn't the entry point anymore. We are going through our feeds, which are highly personalized, contextual, and keeps bringing us back.  And just to let you know, if I look at the last year's sales for Alibaba, which is one of the largest retail chains in China, 60% of the sales came from contextualized content. So data shows that before we go to bed every night, on an average, people spend 50 minutes checking their feeds and social media. If anyone told you a few years back that you would be spending five hours on a six inch screen, you would laugh. But this goes on to show that if there's something easy, useful, frictionless, boom, it can change user behavior in no time.  So when you're looking at your feeds on Facebook, when you're looking at content, you're not searching anything. Basically, what happens is whatever notifications come in, because they're highly contextualized, you keep browsing more and more and more and more. And if you look at each of these examples that I've shown, that's exactly what happens. And because the content is so personalized, but it's low intent, so marketers have to be ready for that. Takes me to the next point. So how do we acquire users? What do we do to make sure that we have the right attention span? So at Booking.com, two years back, we started to spend a lot of time and we invested a lot of energy and resources into growth of our app. We made big gains in booking and user engagement both on iOS and Android. And I want to dig into our growth trends to show you how this momentum is opening up new partner opportunities and user growth. So from high level perspective, our investment in future of our app follows. It's a two pronged strategy. How do we drive more app installs? And how does the app have more engagement as I spoke to you about? And in the last two years, we've been able to do both, actually, if I see the strategy. So let's focus more on the user acquisition side first. Number one, app store optimization. I think that is one of the most important things in activating advertising campaigns in app stores around the web. So our app is increasingly reaching new customers, new users as we continue to add flights, tours, and we are trying to do connected trips. Because the more choice you give on the platform, the more users keep coming back. And recently, we launched another PR campaign that was all about downloading the app. And I want to say that in the last two years, the very focused efforts that we made globally in Q2 this year, booking was number one downloaded OTA app according to third party research firm. And during the same quarter, we were one of the most downloaded app in US, and our downloads increased dramatically over the last couple of years. And we ensured that we create direct marketing. So apart from working on the conversion funnel, et cetera, we wanted to create content that brings low intent users to engage our entire funnel. And also, our entire funnel is touched by machine learning. So this is how the user acquisition is working for us. Now if we look at how are we driving engagement? So if I look at booking particularly, a typical user will not use a platform every day. They will do that when they're planning a trip and when they need it. But when they come and then they're planning the trip, that's when they open the app a lot more. And it's possible that the pandemic has increased this engagement as well with the uncertain travel environment, encouraging many travelers to pivot to mobile. And that's what we see as well. With such clear, so if I see today, the overall business from mobile represents 60%. And if I look at just India, it's actually upwards of 70%, 75%. So very large chunk of a business comes on mobile. With this clear success metrics pouring in, now is a good time to think about how do we offer deals to these mobile users? A differentiated rate strategy. So we started to work on a differentiated rate strategy. And if you see the picture on the top, you see that we have a very prominently listed mobile rates on a platform, which are extremely compelling. Because if you see, an app will have a very, very small screen and a small real estate. And therefore, it's very important for us to showcase these deals. And when partners, and when I say partners, it's our hotel partners, when they implement these, they receive on an average 28% on an average more bookings, which is a clear indicator that how people are so used to booking transactions online and on their cell phones. It just doesn't end there. The intelligence and framework we've built to help automatically identify and triage request through booking assistant now work seamlessly in the background on booking.com. Helping customers to navigate our health center, which is available in 44 different languages. So it's not just about getting users, showcasing the deal. It's also about making sure that once they come to the platform, as I spoke about machine learning, et cetera, it's very important for us to give them the right kind of engagement there. If I go and start to work on the overall user journey as well, so it's not about bringing the users. It's not about engaging with them. It's also about ease of use. It's also about how contextual can we make the entire funnel and how it's touched by machine learning. And if you see here, when you land on our site and you aren't sure where do you want to go yet, we make suggestions to you. So if you see the picture on the top, because we've been leveraging all your past data, the user data that we've had, and machine learning models, we know that what are the kind of options that will work on closing the funnel sooner. When we recommend which apartment and hotel would best suit your search criteria. So there is a lot of different machine learning systems working in the background. When you start to show you based on what your past data is, and they also work a lot in the moment for the moment. Because sometime back, you may have gone to the family.  So our machine learning funnel actually works as you're going through the journey as well. Also, it's very important to show, as I said, contextual. The reason you're going to your feeds is because it's contextual. Somebody has sent you a message, and you want to see that.  Because we know from the past experiences what kind of images helped us to convert the funnel better. And which machine learning models have automated in terms of detecting important features. So we know that for you, pool may be important. Or for somebody else, a right kind of bed or mattress may be important. And data science has become rapidly more sophisticated over the past decade. And it continues to accelerate, which we love at Booking.com. And we've been passionate about data, to say the least. And because of the data, we focus a lot on our CTAs. So we already know that if you are a family of four people, even the reviews that we start to show you are the ones that are by families or people four, so that it becomes highly contextual. And you are able to engage on the platform a lot better. The last piece I want to cover is the customer service and demand prediction. If you need support before, during, or after your trip, our demand prediction algorithms make sure that there's enough of our excellent customer service staff on hand to help you out in the native language. So we use about 44 languages that I've already spoke to you about. So as we are looking at today's world of marketing, and I talked about three important things. It's not just about user acquisition. Google doesn't work anymore. It is highly contextual, content-driven, low-intent user base that we need to look at. Once users are on the platform, it's important to have engaging content. And that needs to happen in tired user journey, and that becomes available through the use of AI and machine learning. So I'll end with that world is moving to mobile experience. And in times to come, more or either businesses are going to be digital or on digital, period. And I'll end here. I hope I was on time. Thank you, Ms. Mehrotra. Very, very, very interesting session. I think the audience must have really had a field day with this one. Thank you again for being here, ma'am, taking up the time, sharing all your knowledge and interesting ideas. And we look forward to interacting soon. Perfect. Thank you very much, Pallavi. See you. Thank you. And take care, ma'am.


Hi, hey, what do you think of a world where banks become technology companies and not banks anymore? And then we give them smart contracts or blockchains as a tool With which we have we wanted to avoid this control Like it would be I think we will see for first of all banks are technology companies today And part of the banks is 1970s technology. That's the part that touches the most government and parts of the banks is You know cutting-edge 2016 machine learning technology and that's the part that screws the stock market and you out of all of your savings very effectively with high frequency trading, but Banks are technology companies banks are not financial companies They are fundamentally software engineering companies and have been for more than two decades now They will adapt the vast majority of banks will adapt when they are Preciate to when they need to adapt to a world in which digital currencies are part of the things that their customers need and use and and when that's the case they will adapt and they and some of them will thrive in this new world of transparent digital currency and decentralized ligers and Transferable assets and tokens and all of that if you talk to some of that you've got to realize you know Banks are not bankers bankers for the most part are not evil people there They have some sociopaths at the CCO level, but most of them are Nice people trying to pay their mortgage and raise their family and some of them are really cool geeks We're doing things with quantum You know with quantity sorry quantitative trading and algorithmic trading and when they look at Bitcoin they go Oh, wow, I would love to play in that with a lot of money. So they will adapt I remember a time when phone companies still use the telegraph part in their name and They still were very proud of the telephone part in their name today all phone companies are internet service providers first and Voice is one of the applications. They carry And they were the biggest if you like Opponent to the internet and now they are the internet so don't be surprised if two decades from now a Big chunk of the infrastructure of decentralized currencies and a big chunk of the liquidity of decentralized currencies is Offered by transformed banks that have learned this lesson But keep in mind that in that process some of them will go out of business very very quickly

Through a relationship with a bad friend, a man called Emnon received a bad advice from the friend and sexually abused his sister. The same Emnon died a brutal death while his friend escaped. When I was young, we were told to be careful who we follow. It didn't quite matter to me at the time, but years of experience would teach me later that that piece of advice is the best path a young person should take. As a young person, there is always a tendency always to want to keep friends, which isn't a bad idea, but if you hang around with wrong friends and maintain relationships that are unprofitable to you in any way, you can be sure that you will end up becoming like the kind of relationship you keep.  1. Relationship with books When I was in the university, I was confused about what to do with my life. I turned to books, I was studying a course I hated, and I knew there was no future for me in it. So, I gave myself to reading profusely. I read so much I hardly thought the world around me existed. The result was that in my third year, I discovered what I was supposed to do with my life. I found my calling as a writer and threw myself into it. My spoken English was quite poor then. I read myself into becoming one of the leaders of an organization that allowed only highly intelligent people to lead. If I hadn't spent time reading back then, I can't imagine what my life would be now. By reading, Daniel in the Bible understood God's plan for his people. He discovered that the period of slavery was ended and yet out of ignorance, the people were still living in slavery. You see, people who don't read are living in some sort of slavery. The reason is simple. You are always paid as much as you know. What you don't know will either negatively impact you or hold you back from getting to places you are supposed to get to. So, yes, it is true. Ignorance does kill. If you spend your time reading loads of books starting today, you can bet your chances that your future will be secure, because you will know just enough to always put you over your mates. You can do the test yourself. Who do you enjoy listening to? Between the friend who shows a high sense of knowledge about a topic and someone who knows nothing but speaks foolishly. 2. Relationship with skillful people Isaac Newton is alleged to have said, I know so much by standing on the shoulders of people who have gone ahead of me. Observe most of the successful people in the past and in our contemporary times. Bill Gates hung out with Paul Allen and built a successful company. Steve Jobs hung out with Steve Wozniak and both built successful companies. Larry Page hung out with Sergey Brin and their companies keep growing. Nicholas Zenstrom hung out with Janice Freese and both built Skype, which was sold to Microsoft for $8.5 billion in 2011. Who you hang out with will determine who you become. Beautiful as it is to have friends whom you talk to. The truth is, if your friends are not five times better than you, you should at least be on the same level as them and be sure you all are working towards going to some great place. When you hang out with Lolies, it is just so certain that they will inflict you with their mindsets. Scientists hang out with scientists because they love to pick each other's brains. Great business people never go to slums to look for poor chaps to play with. No, they go to hang out with other great businessmen so they can rub minds and learn from each other. If you're skillful and you want to be excellent at what you do, spend time hanging out with other people in your field, mostly people who are better than you, and you'll be surprised what happens to your skill. Does this mean you have to always physically meet this friend? If possible, yes, but if not, why on earth is there YouTube? YouTube is always my go-to place to befriend people who are better than me in my field, by studying what they do, how they do it, and copying their examples. 3. Relationships with mentors and successful people The bible tells the story of a young king, Rohobon, who needed advice on how to make a decision. He consulted the elders and they gave him good advice. Then he ignored that piece of advice and consulted his peers. They gave him the wrong advice. He followed that piece of advice and he was ruined. It is overstated, but Jim Ron says you're the average of the five people you hang out with. If you hang out with idiots, it won't be long before you start acting like one. I told you the story of Amnon in the beginning. Amnon in the bible was having incestuous feelings towards his sister and he asked his friend for advice on what to do. The friend gave him details on how he could abuse his sister and after Amnon did it, his eyes opened. Eventually, he was brutally killed, but what hurt me was that his friend who gave him the piece of advice was not there to save him. Neither was the friend killed. The friend you hang out with will always influence you, but the other side is that they will not always be there to be the brunt or the benefit of that piece of advice. Hang out with successful people and you will be successful. The reason is simple. No matter how you do it, you will always tend to think like the people you hang out with. If you spend so much time in the company of successful people, even if it is just picking their bags and dropping their trash, you will unconsciously begin to pick up their ways and won't know why you're suddenly behaving like them. If your relationships aren't profitable to you in any way, it is time to make some changes. Young people who have made plans to live a successful life know the importance of the people they hang out with. You may not have all the money in the world and you may not have all the resources and opportunities in the world, but you sure have the power within your grabs to choose the kind of people you hang out with. Hang out with books because the more you know, the more you have the edge over most who don't know. Hang out with skillful people because if you're very good at what you do, you'll move forward faster. Hang out with successful people because you will always think and act like the people you hang out with. If this video inspired you, share the video. We love you.


The floor is yours. Thank you very much for the invitation, first of all. I guess my message is not so much for the younger members of our audience, but maybe the older members of our audience and about how we can change education and what we do at schools to get more girls interested in computer sciences. Five years ago in La Chatea Nguerre, in my computer science class, I had a cohort of five out of 280 students possible in years 12 and 13. In 10 and 11, out of 280 students, we had 20 students taking an ICT class, 20 total. Now this year, we have over 27 students doing computer science, so about 10% of our population in grades 12 and 13. And we have over 50% to 60% of our grade 10s and 11s doing computer classes also. So we've gone from single digits to almost half of our kids, at least in 10 and 11, and 10% in years 12 and 13. And we've done this by changing the curriculum. We realized five years ago our curriculum was old. It was boring, and it wasn't very interesting. It was Microsoft Office, it was Excel, it was PowerPoint. And we realized that's not what the ICT world needs. So we've changed to robotics and programming, graphic design, and we've done that at the younger age level. So we've done that even before they get into our secondary. We started that in the years 7, 8, and 9. And we've completely transformed our 7 and 8, 9 courses, introducing robotics, programming, and graphic design. So we're doing things like Photoshop and Scratch. We're introducing Lego Mindstorms. And we're working on a project with the EPFL and the Swiss Space Agency using their robots, the Timios, in a project that we call Mission to Mars. All our year 9s, all 140 of them, are learning to program robots that are Mars rovers and solving problems. So there will be a big challenge mission at the end of the year in conjunction with the Swiss Space Agency. The result has been that in our year 10 classes, which was changed from Microsoft Office, they are now an intro to programming course, a web design course, and a video and animation course. And so we've gone from 20 to over 150 students. And in web design and video and animation, particularly, we have almost 50% of the population being girls taking those classes. And I think if you talk to the nine girls from our campus, those classes have been a welcome addition to our curriculum. And especially some of our older girls have been an inspiration for them and a vehicle for them to continue on into computer science, where now we have five out of the 27 students are now female. In my first few years at Leshetangere, I had zero girls in my computer science class. So that is our success story. We've changed our curriculum, changed what we were teaching, and we brought the message lower down to seven, eight, and nine. And I think we need to start even earlier than that. We have to catch kids in primary so that they understand that assumptions and preconceived notions shouldn't drive decision making. And that experience shouldn't be confused for ability. So that is the message that we're trying to give our kids to encourage them to continue on. Thank you.


And here we have the beautiful new Chromebook. This is MediaTek Quad Core. You can see right here is a dual A72 and a dual A53. MediaTek MT8173C. So check this out. This is a beautiful display. It's crazy thin. Such a nice build quality. I'm looking at a full-size HDMI, a full-size USB3. Micro SD, a USB Type-C. You can have all your crazy dongles and output and I don't know what, all kinds of stuff here and fast charging. It's really nice. It's a potential to be a huge maybe success. And here a headset jack, a nice buttons right here. So this is my first time that I see it and if you look at it here I'm going to do some touching. You can drag around the different windows. You can have some apps and you have, I think you have YouTube right now. I mean Android. This is Android stuff going on here. So maybe it is. But there's probably going to be Android apps on here. So it's going to be very interesting to see how much MediaTek is going to push this one. I think it's fantastic. It's beautiful. It's very soon there's going to be probably a Samsung Chromebook Pro and maybe some more other stuff with Rockchips, Exocore. But right now we're looking at a very smooth, arm-part Chromebook. Maybe the best arm-part Chromebook that I've ever seen so far. Right here with MediaTek joining finally. It took them a while. I mean it's maybe a year ago. More than a year ago. A year and a half ago that I saw the that I was filming the first prototype of the MediaTek Chromebook. But here we have, I think it looks smooth. Let's go on here. We're going to go on news.google.com Here's a trade show. Here's a trade show. So let's try to just click on some right here. Is there any arm-part MacBooks maybe? We're going to open another one. And go into the Clinton emails. So we're loading a bunch of tabs. Going here. It's just the internet speed is not so fast right here. Seems smooth. The keyboard looks nice. The mousepad is nice. So $309. With a thing is, I don't know how many gigabytes of RAM. It's probably four. And here's a new MacBook. It's not arm-part. And here Touch ID USB-C. There's no arm-backbook yet. So this is the killer of the MacBook. Let's try here. It's just the port of Phoenix. MediaTek Chromebook, the Acer, Chromebook 13, R13. And then I don't have to go with my phone. It's really beautiful. It's really cool. So the way it works is that it does connect to your phone. If there wasn't a Samsung coming out. But it won't necessarily have to be a phone. And the stylus and the extra 6-core. And the Mali GPU, this is, I think, SGX. This one does a very similar thing. It's used to track your progress and tell you the time. Okay, something didn't click. And then they go around the world based on the century of progress. World to a goal. It's a huge website. It's really crashing. Okay, looks great. Very nice display. Good union rules. Cool laptop right here.


The first video I was listening to the Quran, it was like mind-blowing. My mind was like exploding. Hello guys! So today I met Lwazi. We are in Cheonan. Wow, I've never taken video in Cheonan, I think. Because I always take video in Seoul. Oh yeah, yeah. And this is my hometown, Cheonan. And he came to my place. Thank you so much. Wow. Thank you very much. The lesson that I invite him is I talk about many Islam things. And he also interested in Islam and do many make contents about Islam. Yeah. And interested in. I thought it was really interesting to me because you're also, even if you're not Muslim. Yeah. And you're not growing in a Muslim family. So I'm gonna ask some questions that I wonder. Yes, please. Just ask the questions. Yeah. Okay. And you do Ramadan fasting too. I'm also doing the fasting. Wow guys.  Thank you so much. Thank you very much. I'm also fasting. Wow, so hard. So thirsty. So first, can you introduce yourself? Hello guys. My name is Luwaz Ismoo. I'm a student in South Korea. I stay in Seoulsan. I study in Hansol University. I'm doing motion graphics and animation. Oh, animation. Yeah. So I'm doing motion graphics and animation, mostly video. And I'm here. Wow. You're artist. Yeah. You're in Christian family. Yeah. I grew up in a Christian family. The thing is in South Africa, if you're born in a Christian family, sometimes you grow up being Christian because you go to church every Sunday. So you don't know anything else but being Christian. So since when did you become interested in Islam? Well, my friend actually showed me a video because I was doing some reaction videos. He didn't tell me the video. He surprised me. Oh, that's interesting. I'm gonna switch on the camera. Surprise video. Surprise reaction. Surprise reaction is like, I'll switch on camera, take the headphones and then listen. And then I wanted to be a real reaction like, wow. I listened to the, like my first video I was listening to the Quran recitation. You know? It was like mind blowing. Like really, like my mind was like exploding. Wow. It was like so, even the voice of the guy was like so touching. You know? Like it was like, wow, man. I can't even explain. Like it was like. And I feel same things. Wow. It's like mind blowing. Like, yeah, mind blowing. Like mind blowing. Yeah. You feel like lift pressure on mind. Like so calm down and peaceful. Very peaceful. Very, very, very peaceful. So since that day I made, I think I made a lot of videos like learning and watching some more videos. And yeah, man. And today we are here and I'm doing Ramadan. So I think I'm in, I'm in the good road, you know? Yeah. Is there a specific reason that you're interested in Islam? Well, I've been friends with a lot of people who are Muslims. And I think I've seen their behavior. It's a very different behavior. Not to say that Christians behave differently, but they, they care, you know? Like really, they care. Like my friends, they're so helpful. Like even if you are asking for something and they love giving. Oh, yeah, right. They love giving. Like donation, charity and helping. Yeah. So people like that, it makes me feel like I am so happy and blessed to be around people like that, you know? Yeah, right, right. And like growing up, like watching TV and in social media, you find this bad stereotype about Muslims, you know? If you ask someone from anywhere else who don't know Muslims, if you ask them, they'll probably say that they're a tourist. No. Because that's what people say and that's not the right thing, you know? So when I found out that these guys who are my friends, they are so nice and they are so caring and giving, they made me feel like I'm safe with them, you know? Yeah, right, right. Yeah, so that is the reason why I feel like being around Muslim people, it's safe because they are people and they just love other people. They love and help people. I think it's really similar reason that I started to interest in Islam because the process of breaking those stereotypes. Yeah, there are so many stereotypes, but it was not true in the media. It's not true. So if you know about Islam, then you can know how they are peaceful and how they help other people and respect other people. They respect other people so much. And they even respect themselves. Yeah, right. Yeah, they really respect themselves because even the ladies and the women, they wear some hijab, you know? Yeah, right. And then so they take care of themselves and they are like clean people and they are so calm and peaceful. Yeah, right, right. I've never seen them fighting or doing. Some don't even drink and smoke, you know, like they're just clean and very nice people, you know? They're very nice people. Yeah, right. So what did you learn from Islam? I think that I've learned how to be a person that thinks for himself because I think sometimes religion ties you down, you know? And I'm talking from experience with not all Christians, but some Christians, they feel bad. Like, why are you not Christian, you know? Everyone is Christian, so why aren't you? In Korea too. But I've not met any Muslim person who's forcing us to be Muslims. Yeah, they don't force. Yeah, they don't force. All they're saying is just listen. Here's a Quran. If you have questions, come ask me. Yeah, oh, yeah. They say that, like, yeah, like if you have questions, you can come ask me. Here's the Quran read. If you have any questions, come ask me, you know? So I think even meeting and being friends with Muslim people, it has made me feel like I've found like real friends, you know? Like true friends. I'm starting to build a new family now with people who believe in Islam and religion, you know? Yeah, that's true. Which is like very nice. Like, I like the fact that they also, they don't force you to join the religion. Like really, like they don't force you. Like they are telling you that here's the evidence, read it. And then if you have questions, come ask us, please. Right, right. Totally true. That's cool. Yeah. Do you think you can convert to Islam? Have you ever thought about that? I've thought about it. I've thought about it. It is a very big possibility. I've thought about it. I'm still learning though. I'm still trying to do my study and learn. I made a video saying that you can learn to be a doctor in one day. You have to take your time. You have to be step by step. So I'm still learning. Me doing Ramadan right now is also like... You're still one of the learning things. It's one of my learning curves. Like I'm trying to break as many stereotypes in my mind as possible. Because I did fast before in my life, but I only fasted for like one day. So I don't have much experience in fasting. But yes, maybe one day I will convert. Like I will still continue learning and I will also try to teach other people. And just tell them how like, not even try to convert them into Islam. But I'll just show them that... Just share your knowledge. Just share my knowledge, yeah. That they're not terrorists. They're not bad people, you know. They're actually quite good people. So everywhere I go, I also try. Even my friends, they saw my channel when I went back to my country. They're like, wow, we see you doing a lot of Muslim videos. I'm like, yeah, you guys should try. Just try and see for yourself. So maybe one day I'll convert. Yeah, maybe one day I'll... Many people ask me that when will you convert to Islam? But I really want to know and... Learn more, yeah. Learn more and when I fully accept it, then I want to think about comfort. Like a next step. Yes. I think, yeah, I have big possibility too. Because I'm really impressed with the message of Islam. Yeah, so... That was a good message, yeah. You're doing in fasting. It's the fifth day of Ramadan. So yeah, why do you fast? Why do I fast? Yes. Oh man. I wanted to experience like what everyone else who's fasting is experiencing, you know. I wanted to not feel the pain, but I wanted to understand, you know. I really wanted to understand. Because you can learn about people. Yeah, yeah, it's just the first step though. Yeah, experience about their things. Just to experience how they live their life. Like me coming to Korea. I didn't like Korean food, you know. But now I love kimchi, you know.  So I'm fasting because I want to learn more. And maybe since fasting has many health benefits. So it's also good to fast sometimes, you know. I'm fasting when I see my Muslim friend. We can share the same thing, you know. We can share the same, not struggle, but we can share the same goal. That we are also doing this together and I believe in you and you believe in me. And thank you very much. Let's do it, you know. It's like very hard, but let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah, let's do it. That's good, Lesan. Yeah, I think my Lesan too, because I do fast to understand them more. And to take the benefits from that. Yeah. Yeah, fighting. Fighting. Maybe I think I can tell my story. Because the thing that I interest in Islam is about the... In Korea, many people always think about how to successful and how to earn a lot of money. And how to get a big car, a big house. But in Islam, when I meet other Muslim friends, and my Muslim friends always talk about how to be a good person and how do you go the right path. And helping people. Yeah, and helping people, how to respect other people. And it's so much different from my culture and country. So it was so impressive.  How to help other people and how they are being a good person and how to close to the God. So I think it's really impressive. It's really different from Korean lifestyle. Yeah, right. I'm so interesting, so I'm still learning. So... Let's learn together, man. Let's learn together. When you share something, you're like, wow, you also know that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I love that point and maybe we know about this point more. Yeah, yeah. He also have YouTube channel and he also talk about Muslim in Islam. So if you have time, then check his channel too. Please check my channel. So thank you for watching my video and take care and be safe. Bye bye. Bye guys. It's seeds.


Box 13 with the star of Paramount Pictures, Alan Ladd, as Dan Holliday. Box 13 carves dark times. I don't know how to ask you to do this for me because I don't know who you are. Or whether you want money to help me. I can pay a little. All I've got to help my boy. I can come to you or you can see me. I live at number 2457. My name is Mrs. Karen. Please, if you will help, I'll do anything for you. It was written in pencil, neatly, carefully, as if she wanted every word to count. And it led to, well, a kid. A scared kid. And murder. And now, back to Box 13 and Dan Holliday's newest adventure, Delinquents to Level. That's a great observation, Susie. What brings it on? I was trying to figure out what she looks like. And did you? Well, I think I can virtualize her. Visualize? Don't try the big ones until you can handle the small ones. What do you mean, Mr. Holliday? You work on it a while, until I get back from Mrs. Karen. Number 245 Sanders Avenue is right in the middle of a suit blacken neighborhood on what is known as the other side of the tracks. I had no trouble finding the mailbox marked Karen, or the flat with a number 4 painted in white on the door. I knocked Mrs. Karen, let me in. She was about 45, worried looking, and well, she wasted no time. Will you help me? Maybe you'd better tell me how, before I answer that. I haven't much money, and I... Money doesn't matter, Mrs. Karen. Just tell me what you want. You don't take money? No, that's right. I don't understand. Well, I'll explain later. First, let's hear what you've got to say. All right. It's about my boy, Biff. Biff? Nickname? Yes. His real name is Reginald. Mr. Holliday, Dan for short. Thank you. Well, he's in jail. Biff is. Why? For stealing. Mrs. Karen, I am not a detective. I've never worked against a lie. I know that sounds, well, stuffy, but that's the way it is. Biff didn't break the law. She said he was in jail. I know he didn't do it. Do what? He was arrested two days ago. Somebody broke into a store and robbed a cash box. But why was Biff arrested for it? The owner of the store thought it was Biff. Well, you see, Mr. Holliday, my boy, he got in bad company about a year ago. He was mixed up in something then. I see, so it looks bad for him now. But he didn't do it. When they arrested him, he said he didn't do it. Oh, does he have a lawyer? He doesn't need one. Oh, why not? Because, now he says he did it. Let me get this straight, Mrs. Karen. At first he denied it, now he admits it. Yes. Well, maybe, maybe Biff realizes that he, well... I know. I know you think he knows better than to deny it. Something like that, yes. Go to see him. Talk to him. Find out for yourself. And if I decide he's guilty? You won't have to come back here. Hello, Biff. Yeah? Who are you? I, um... I'm a friend of your mother's. Ma? She's all right, ain't she? She's okay? Sure, sure. I just came from her. Oh. Who are you? Your mother asked me to help. My name's Holliday. Dan Holliday. Never heard of you. I guess not. Sit down, Biff.  Lawyer's the word you're looking for. Well, I don't want none. Well, I'm not. Now listen, let me alone, will ya? Oh, now take it easy, Biff. Yeah, what's your racket, mister? If it makes any difference, I'm, I'm a writer. Writer? Books and stuff? Uh-huh. I don't get it. What do you want with me? A story of my life or something? Maybe I'd like to write something good about it. Blow out of here, will ya? Biff, I told you I just came from your mother. She asked me to help you. Yeah, I guess you would. You see, she doesn't think you broke into that store. I said I did. After you said you didn't. Hey, look, I get a better rap saying I did it. Well, I was easy on a guy when he don't put up a squawk. That's why I said I didn't. And then I did. You know, I, I think you're lying, Biff. All right, so you think I'm lying. So go ahead and think it. And get out of here and stay away from her. Hear me? You just stay away from her. Oh, no, just a minute, Biff. I said get out of here and don't come back no more. Don't come back! Well, I didn't know what to think. Biff was lying or he wasn't lying. That's a great thought. A big help. Then I called Kling and got him to find out a few more things for me, which I mightn't have been able to get without him. Yeah, I got what you want, Dan. Biff, Karen. Ah, that's the kid. Here we go, picked up the stealing tires. First offence, probation. Got in a couple more scrapes, nothing serious under this. And if this is proven on him? Proved. He admitted it. Nothing to prove, Dan. Well, he denied it at first. Sure, sure. Zalibi was that he'd been to a movie. Well, couldn't he prove it? No. Did he stick to it? Yeah. But all of a sudden, he admits breaking into that store. That's it. You're interested, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am. Why? His mother asked me to help. Oh. Now look, Dan, the kid's got into trouble. Sure, his mother won't believe. Most mothers won't, but... But this looks fishy. Why? Because if Biff admits this, he goes to prison. That's the general idea. But if he thought he had a chance to stay out, don't you think he'd try to fight? Maybe he's looking for a light wrap. I don't believe that. You got any ideas? No, I... And I can't help. My department's homicide. Yeah, I know. Well, thanks for the information. Don't mention it. I'll see you later. I thought about it some more, and the more it went around in my head, the more it looked phony. Biff seemed scared and almost eager to take the wrap for the breaking and entry job. Why? Why do that if he knew it wouldn't be in prison? I went to see the owner of the store, and he wasn't sure it was Biff. But that didn't make any difference either because the police had a mission of guilt. So I went home and let myself into my apartment. You don't need the light, Chum. Close that door. There's a draft. I catch cold easy. If we're going to get better acquainted, we should see each other, don't you think? I don't want to make any more friends. Well, you haven't. Okay, sit down. Thanks. Now, look. Cigarette? Don't like no match. Shame to your face? It'll get by. Just make sure that yours does. Am I supposed to figure that one out? You already did. Yeah, I guess I did. Now, look, I want you... How'd you get in here? Ain't you ever going to let me talk? I'm just curious, that's all. Okay, I got a pass key, a skeleton key. Mm-hmm. You're satisfied? Oh, sure, sure, sure. You mind if I talk now? I'd be charmed. What do we talk about? You. That's a very interesting subject. I was born a poor but wealthy parents and a small lodge down back of the... I'll come back in a couple of days and we'll kill each other. Oh, fine, I'll have a cake baked. What do you want? Nothing. I'm a very easy guy, please. It's a virtue and I take it you don't have many of those. Well, you're an awful impolite holiday. Oh, you know me. Uh-huh. Lay off the Kirin kid. So, that's the purpose of this charming visit? The other two guesses you don't need. I suppose not. Okay, just remember, lay off the Kirin kid. And if I don't want to? Uh, answer me a question, will you? Gladly. Is a guy's books worth more when he's dead than when he's alive? Certainly. Production stops, limited supply, greater than the demand. Okay. Just don't make your heirs rich people. And you could do that holiday. Real easy. Mm-hmm. It's something to think about, isn't it? Yeah. I'll stay right where I'm going. Oh, must you? It's been so romantic conversation with a mysterious stranger in the dark. I could have brought flowers, but you'll remember that a lot longer. Okay, that did it. Now I knew Biff had a motive for admitting the robbery. But what the motive was, well, it was a different color and a different horse. I turned on the light. Huh? My pleasant partner in that little tater-tater left a reminder. His ring had cut into my cheek and left a mark. For a couple of hours, I thought and thought. Finally, I figured out an angle. But I had to see Biff again to tie it up. So the next morning, I went back to see the kid. Just as I was rounding the corner of the corridor. Okay, kid. Now just keep a stiff upper lip, you see? Biff had company. The voice of that turtle was the same as the guy who'd played tag with me the night before. And he had a ring on his finger, a big ring. I ducked back out of sight, let him pass by. Then I went to Biff. You again? Uh-huh. I, um, I want to talk to you. But I don't want to talk to you, mister. Had company, didn't you? Company? Well, no, no, no, no. I didn't. Come on now. Who was he, Biff? Mm, pal, a friend of mine. Get out of here and mind your own business. I am. Your, um, pal gave me this. Okay, so we hung one on you. And I didn't like it. So you should learn to mind your own business. I told you. Listen, Biff. I was asking to this by your mother. She don't know what she's doing. I mean, let her alone. Biff, you're trying to be a tough guy, and it just doesn't hang right on you. So I'll grow into it. Sure. Sure, that's what I'm afraid of. That's what your mother's afraid of.  And if you come around here again, I'll holler over the guard to back you out. All right. All right, then I'll talk to your mother. No, no. Don't go near her. She's all right now, but... But what? Nothing. I'll beat it. Are you going? Or do I call a guard to throw you out of here? Okay, Biff. I'll go. Well, Biff was afraid for his mother. That much I could guess. And he was willing to go to prison rather than I'd rob that store. But how could a thing like that time where the mug would come to see me? The robbery was cheap stuff. Not likely that a huddle of life my visitor would be mixed up in it. Was Biff taking a rap for him? Well, that couldn't be. So I went back to Kling.  I have other people do it for me now. Yeah, yeah, I could see that. Nasty cut. Let me look at your rogues gallery. Think you know the guy who slugged you? Might recognize him. I got a short look at him in the jail today. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Look through these. See anybody you know? Not yet. You got it? Yeah, yeah. Who is this? That. Yeah, let's see. Yeah. Name, Gillie Systro. Strong arm hood. Who's he working for? Freelance artist. Anybody can hire him. High priced? Not cheap. That explains it. It does. Okay, let me in on it, will you? Look, whoever's behind this didn't want to use any of his own mugs. So you hide this Gillie to intimidate me. Well, I can pick him up for you. Huh? Scare the rest of them off? So, what's next? Besides, Biff's afraid for his mother, Kling. That kid's protecting her. Why, I don't know. If you make a move to pick up Gillie, that'll make Biff's mother a sure setup. Uh-huh. That makes sense. Now listen to me a favor, will you? What? Just have one of your boys tell Gillie. When he lights someplace, let me know. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Now you could get hurt. I was. What are you going to do? Stick my nose in where it belongs. I don't like Gillie. And I don't like what he stands for. And now back to Delinquent's Dilemma, another Box 13 adventure with Alan Ladd as Dan Holliday.  Call from Kling telling me where I could pick up Gillie. I did and followed him. Maybe I was being followed too, but I had to take that chance. After all, there was nothing we could pin on Gillie, just entry and assault. But that wouldn't get to the thing that was putting Biff in a vice. Anyway, I followed Gillie, watched him go into an office building, found where he got off the elevator, waited until he left and then... Yes? I'd like to see Mr... Mr... Mr. Who? Mr. in the inner office. What's your name? Cecil Holling. Holling? Yes. Just a moment. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Your name's Holling? Yes, sir. Yes, sir, it is. All right, what can I do for you? Need any brushes? Brushes, brushes. You see, I carry a full line. What is this? The brush off. My own little joke.  Well, Mr... What's your angle, Holling? Do I need one? Who sent you here? Nobody. I found it all by myself. Just stay right there. Eddie, Mack, watch this carry. Hello, Eddie. Hello, Mack. Now, talk, Mr. Holling. Okay. This is a gag. Is it? Yeah, I guess I'm in the wrong office. I was supposed to pull a rib on somebody and I... Well, I guess I got in the wrong office. Well, uh... Sorry to bother you. Just a minute. Yeah? Who sent you here? Nobody. I told you this is a gag. I guess it backfired. You must have tried the gag too often. Somebody pasted you. Oh, no, no, no, no. Beat it. Well, thanks. Thanks a lot. I wondered if I talked myself out of that one. I didn't because when I got downstairs to my car, I noticed a man following me. But I'd found out something. Gilly was working for the character in that office. And who was he? It took me two hours to shake the shadow, then I got back to Kling and told him.   But I found it, didn't I? Sure, sure you found it. Listen, they still don't know who I was. How do you know that? You wouldn't have let me out of that office, Kling. You sure you ditched that shadow? Yeah, I'm sure.  Before that happens, what's the lineup? The man you saw is Pete Varsland. Racketeer, gangster. Has he got a record? None that we could pin on him. He's smart, Dan. Little guys take the rap for him. He pays off when they get out. And what's his angle in all this? How's he tied up with Biff Curran? A kid certainly is the member of his gang. No, at least I don't think so. He's got to be an angle. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What have you got? Listen, it was a big fur warehouse robbery. It looked like one of Varsland's jobs. But there's nothing to tie him in. And there was a watchman killed. When was that robbery murdered? The night of the 16th. What time? About 11.30. The 16th. That's the night of the store robbery. The one Biff's admitting to. Yeah, sure. Suppose the kid was passing on his way home from that movie. And saw the whole thing. But he's afraid to talk. Because they'd threaten his mother if he does. The dirty eagles. Listen, I'll send... No, no, wait. Do that and you put Biff's mother on the spot. Get Biff here instead. I didn't dare go to Biff because I might be followed. The cling sent for him and then cling's office. I don't know nothing. Let me go back.  I robbed that store that night. Now let me go back. Biff, listen to me. I ain't going to listen to nobody. What are you trying to do? I told you I robbed the place. What if we'd tell you the police have arrested the real robber? That won't work. I know you haven't because I would have been let out. Biff, we'll protect your mother and you. There ain't nothing to protect. Cling, come here with me. Let me talk to him alone, please. Okay, Dan, go ahead. I hope the day comes soon when kids will realize that the police aren't their enemies, but they're friends. I ain't gonna do any good, mister. It's got to, Biff. Now listen, don't say anything until I've finished, will you? Good.  Huh? A gang of vicious men. You're protecting them from the law. You're protecting murders, Biff. You're giving them the chance to go out and do the same thing all over again. Don't you see that? I ain't gonna say nothing. All I want to do is be let alone. I want to go back to the jail. Now, let me go. Oh, please, Biff. You're about 16 and you've got a whole life ahead of you. But if you go to prison to protect Crooks, what will you have? A record. Oh, sure, they'll say you didn't talk, you didn't squeal. They'll make a great guy out of you. But what'll it make of the men you're protecting?    I ain't gonna say nothing! I ain't! Clang. Clang, I'm finished. Okay. Sergeant, take the kid back. No. He's our only chance to put Vaslin in his gang where they can grow a nice coat of mold. Yeah, I know. But he's too scared. Yeah, he won't talk clean. He wouldn't talk if it killed him to keep quiet. We've got the whole thing in our wraps. We've got Vaslin on a murder wrap if that kid talks. I know. What's the matter? Listen, I hate to say this, but we've got to double-cross Biff. What have you got in mind, Dan? Now listen, don't let anybody in this scene keep all the visitors away. Why? Because he's going to talk.  Listen, I've got friends at the Star Times. They're going to break a story that'll smoke Baslin out in the open where you can smash him. You mean print a story about the kid talking? Yeah, that's it. But his mother... We won't break this story until I'm there with her. Listen, you're crazy. Fool those guys don't kid. Once they say they're gonna do a thing, they'll do it. You let that story hit the street and they'll go through with it if it takes 10 years. I know, I know. But we know Biff won't talk. So keep visitors away from him. Baslin will try to get to his mother, don't you see? That's the only way he can really keep Biff from talking. Get his mother and hold her until the kid decides to keep quiet. But... No buts. We'll make the story look as though sensational developments are expected in the fur warehouse murder. Just enough to make Baslin think the kid might talk. I went to the Star Times and fixed up the story by promising the editor that the whole thing could be his front page scoop and on the level. I waited until the proofs were run. The story was just what we wanted. Only a hint that developments were expected. Then I drove to the neighborhood where Biff and his mother lived. There were no police around. It had to look legitimate. Then I went up to Mrs. Curran. My boy. Poor Biff. You'll be all right. The story's on the street now, Mr. Curran. And we should be getting company. Oh, I'm scared. Not for me. But for Biff. He'll be all right. But they can't get to him. And when this is all over, they won't be able to. Well, what if... What if something happens? It won't. Now, turn out the light quick. Get into bed. Pretend to be asleep. I... I can't. Pretend to be asleep now. You wake up. Come on. Wake up. What do you want?

J plug the jumper Barth CJ Yeah, where's the video there is teeth smiling sunshine and look at that boy First of all been measuring hoops for 10 years. You can call me the LA Fitness Dunk God I also go by two legs Let's settle it once and for all or all the LA Fitness's rims low Short answer. No, why are they low? Let's get to the myth. Why are they low? Have you heard? And do you know why and why are they low? I know the myth Because people don't measure when they construct the gyms. What do they do you do? Uh-huh I am I am the CEO That's exactly right Well, you're gonna have to watch my video then The myth is the story I've been told is sometimes they put the hoop on the wall When there's cement and then they put the floor of the court there So that's a couple inches right there. That's what I've been told But are all of them low? No, I've actually measured some rims that are high I think the highest one was at least 10 to maybe even 10 3 are all LA Fitness rims low Popular belief some are actually high right no Are all LA Fitness rims low I Think it's gonna be in this video actually that I recorded it So what does this matter? Why do you care? First of all three inches is nothing But at the same time it's a lot. So which one is it? Is it nothing or is it a lot? Let's get into it If you're part of the dunk life if you've ever tried to increase your vertical if you've ever tried to dunk and Live out a dream that some of us have You know that every fraction of an inch counts and you could say pause at any time throughout this video So we're just gonna get that joke way out of the way because every inch matters every fraction of the inch matters What what's the difference between 9 9 and 10 feet? We shall pause Same thing three inches, right? Big difference or small difference Essentially, I would say small difference. All right, but if you're at your limit, right? Here's the difference when you're trying to get your first dunk Of course every fraction of an inch matters and 10 feet is the goal Does it matter if it's in a gym doesn't matter to me my first dunk was actually 9 9 But I had no idea so the life-altering mind-shaping perspective shifting event that it was was still the same now All my goals are of course 10 feet, but there is benefits to the low rims now You can ask any pro dunker they will tell you low rims are fantastic and there's two main reasons low rims Are they good low rims you like them you love them hate them. What's up? And tell me about a downside Nothing wrong with them as long as you post the rim high low rims. Are they good or bad good? And what's the downside? Right But if you if you're at a challenge challenging enough rim height that shouldn't be an issue there is none what is there any downside Dunking is repetition. So if you get comfortable dunking on a low rim It's gonna change their technique and a transition to a higher rim. Well said Okay, one for the dunk technique and two jump technique and yes, they are different You can practice your dunks whether it's spinning reverses finishing or your jump technique and the reason I like jump technique as well In addition to furthermore as dunk technique is jump technique for me on a low rim super aggressive How would you describe the way I dunk on 9 9?  To someone that says when you measured at 9 9 and they're like that's 9 6. What would you say to that? Because I've had someone I've measured at 9 9 and I fly so they're like that's gotta be 9 5 9 6 What do you say to that? Super aggressive when I don't get too high when it's a 10 1 10 2 and I'm just trying to put one down It's hard for me to get that same adrenaline Do I still have it coursing through my blood? Of course, but when it's a little low and I know I can just get my freaking neck by the rim and destroy it It's a different level of mania. He's a maniac. Okay now That being said all my goals are for 10 feet when you're first increasing and getting your first dunk a one-hander on 9 9 from 10 Feet it may not take you that long because you're only increasing 3 inches and when you're first starting out like I did at a 28 inch vertical you're increasing a couple inches so 28 to 31 is not that big any Rim that's low is really helpful for this dunk technique all the way down to 8 feet So I definitely advise going out getting a rim that's adjustable use them as a tool just like working out You want to use them as supplemental exercises for yourself. Are they a lot of fun? Yes, fun should be the part of the journey Maybe the priority if not the number one priority should be the most fun If you're saying I'm lifting 10 pounds, then you add another 10 pounds Then you add another 10 pounds every 10 pounds gets exponentially harder yet It's still adding the same increment of weight That is what I'm saying about these three inches pause because if you're starting at a 30 inch vertical and you're increasing 3 inches, that's a lot easier than having a 48 inch vertical and trying to get to 51 Going from a 30 inch vertical to a 33 inch vertical compared to what's yours that right now? 48 to 51 I actually use that as an example same thing three inches, right? Can you sum it up in a sentence why it's different? I'm giving them the hard ones boom So does it count on 9 9 no nothing's official unless it's 10 feet Kind of a random thing as well because why did it start at 10 feet? We use the friggin What do you call our system not the metric system the other one? I don't even know what mine's called and 10 feet is 120 inches so random, but that's what it is that's standard That's what the pros play on so that's where your goals should be That's what my goals are to dunk in games. Do I still get insanely hype when I do it on 9 9? Yeah, because it's more about the journey and the progress. I'm not saying all right completed my goal No, it's another goal like that if you're trying to climb Mount Everest and you climb something It's less high but still challenging you still scream So I love when people say it's not nice it's not nine I put 9 9 why would I lie first of all been measuring Hoops for ten years. I literally pioneered measuring hoops and someone says that's it. That's gotta be 9 5 9 6 Do you know what I would do on that height? 3 inches below the 9 9 3 inches below regulation from 10 feet to 9 9 is Absurdity I'm literally a God. I'm the LA Fitness God. You can call me the LA Fitness Dunk God I also go by two legs So so if you lower that three more inches. Good night. Just good night Just good night. Just go to sleep because we're lucid dreaming now. I Might have taken that title already in this video I'm making Now how would you compare 9 9 to 9 6? Yeah, silly goose Yeah, do you believe in the big bank theory if I believe in it We're like depending on how low the rim is don't forget to actually work on your jump technique when you go into practicing trick guns So so when you're training, don't cheat yourself measure the rim every fraction of the inch really does count Shoot for that 10 feet use the low rims as practice have fun. I can't stress it enough and go nuts What else did I want to say about it when you're at your limit an inch is a mile But bars if you're you're progressing and you don't believe in limits, it's the same thing Do you believe in limits, sir? I do not believe in women. So we don't do we don't do that at all here now the single one Oh, yeah, the tweets where it's at Yeah Have fun you can feel it too once you jump enough especially for 10 years You can look at a rim and tell if it's higher low and that's actually a fun thing a random thing when you're having a good jumping day Everything looks lower. I'm 5 10. Okay. I'm not like people say that's not short anymore. Okay, 10 years ago I was short. I'm the same height and I do a crazy distance smash dunk and they're like, can you don't come 10 feet? I'm like, it's three inches.

so welcome back to another therapy Thursday again my session was on a Saturday afternoon so hence the brightness outside today was a very very great session I feel I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulder that I didn't know was there it was good if you watch my last therapy Thursday video you know I was or am struggling with not struggling but I am not ready or not at the place yet where I can forgive my children's father I'm not I'm never gonna say his name in these videos for more than one reason but just know I'm never gonna say his name but as I mentioned in my last video he's been coming up a lot for me this month like whether it's just a random thought on my own or someone brings him up to me my children bringing him up more than usual like that has continued this past week and today this morning my mother come in the room and she says you know something that's been bothering me or something that pops up in my head every every now and then is the the image of the pictures and videos that they sent you of his body when he passed away so when I got the call that he was sick and being rushed to hospital in Ghana I of course didn't know how severe it was nobody knew what was wrong and while he was in the hospital the guy that was there with him kept sending me pictures and videos he was unconscious with his eyes open laying on the hospital bed sweating only have on his boxers like I honestly blocked those images out of my head because I it's not an image that I wanted to remember but when my mom brought it up this morning it like it hit me like those images just popped up right right away cuz they were in my phone when I I didn't know what I was gonna open but every time I opened it it was just but the images that were the morals I don't want to say disturbing but just something that you don't really want to see was the video of them moving his dead body like lifting his deceased body and then putting it in this like old metal rusty to container thing I completely blocked all of those images out my head and it wasn't until this morning that I remembered them and so in therapy today I am I said like my mom randomly brought this up and now it's at the forefront of my head and she was like it was a random this is just the continue process of the universe making you face these things because next month would make a year since his passing next month is also his birthday next month is also my son's birthday and I don't know what to expect in terms of how I'm gonna feel and what's gonna go through my head around those dates but everything that's been happening for the past few weeks in terms of his memory coming up or these images coming up and people talking about him my children bringing him up more than usual it's all so that I can face my shit and so today my therapist asked me did you grieve his death and I think initially I did start grieving his death I when I when he passed away I literally went into a state of feeling like I am in limbo I remember that day going to the beach by myself I walked into the water and I just kept walking and walking and I went underwater and for a slight second I did not want to get up not in terms that I thought about taking my life but I just didn't want to feel I didn't want to think I didn't want to come back up to reality if that makes sense so when I did first find out about his passing I cried a lot I was barely eating I was definitely grieving I went through this time where I felt like his dead erased everything that happened everything that he did to me and that I could no longer be angry with him that I could not no longer be hurt by what he did to me because now he's dead now he's physically gone how can I be mad at someone who's not physically here anymore so I started grieving and I pushed everything else that I was going through aside then at some point I switched and I stopped grieving his death I stopped thinking about his death in terms of because he's gone what happened to me doesn't matter anymore and I started pulling me first again I started intentionally healing from the sexual assault the verbal and emotional and the physical abuse I started putting that back to the forefront because and this happened because I'm in therapy and because my therapist reminded me that his death does not erase what he did and you do still need to heal from that you still need to face it and feel it and release it but in doing that I pushed his death away like I pushed the fact that he that someone that I spent 11 years with is no longer physically here and I would only get sad when my son bring him up or when I think about the fact that my children don't have a their father anymore but today she told me that there's no or there's no either you grieve or you heal from your trauma there's only and because they're both realities in your life and you don't have to pick aside they're both something you can face and acknowledge at the same time so instead of saying I can grieve or I can heal from this trauma or I can acknowledge that he did x y and z to me it's only and during this session I was just able to really talk about stuff that I was able to talk about him in a way that I haven't been able to talk about him in a long time I still don't miss him for me I still don't miss him in a term that I want him I want to be with him like those feelings left a very long time ago but I was able to process what my life with him meant I was able to process what his death meant and I know that he served a purpose in my life like no matter how I switch alternate no matter how I think about it I can't sit here and say I wish I never met him I can't sit here and say I wish I followed my mind and went off the college single like I like I had planned to I can't say that I wish I left him before I got pregnant after my first pregnancy like I can't regret any of it because one of his main purposes in my life was bringing for those three children that I have each pregnancy and birth stripped things away from my life that I no longer needed and also taught me more about myself and led me closer to my purpose it led me closer to my passion it led me closer to my divinity and I don't say those things lightly like I truly mean that and I can't erase that so for me to sit here and say that I regret being with him I regret the 11 years of us being together I can't everything that happened up to the moment of me leaving has served a purpose through lessons through love through experiences that has lead me into being who I am now and I am more in touched and in tuned and at ease with myself than I've ever been in my life like I am the best version of myself that I've ever been right now and it's because of everything that I've been through and everything that I'm going through and everything that I'm healing from so I don't regret our time together I I don't know if you all would I don't know if y'all understanding where I'm coming from with this but he served the purpose in my life and I'm grateful and I know that I wouldn't be who I am today and know what I know today and live how I live today if he didn't enter my life if we didn't have those 10 11 years together if I didn't get pregnant and have those three children because for me to wish that I have left any moment sooner I wouldn't have my three children I was four months pregnant when I left that man if I had left any minute sooner anytime sooner I wouldn't have my three children and they they they were meant to be here they were meant to come through me and be created with his seed and my and my egg so I don't regret it and I find peace in knowing that he served that purpose in in my life and I think today's session has led me closer to the forgiving side because I I I I was able to tap into a side of my relationship with him and his passing that I haven't tapped into and of course I'm not going to go into details details but I just want to share what the scope of my session was today and I feel good I could honestly say I feel good I I honestly feel lighter I feel more clarity another thing I shared because like everything just I don't I I can't even verbally explain everything because like I when I'm in my session like I speak as things come to me I speak as I feel because it's organic and natural I can't come on camera and just regurgitate everything that happened in my session but I I'm reading this book called the spirit of intimacy I just started reading it I'm only on like chapter 2 but there was a section when I was reading last night there was a section that stood out to me and I brought it up today in my session so I'm just gonna read that real quick and explain to y'all why that and explain to y'all why it resonated with me so it says there's a spiritual dimension to every relationship no matter what its origins whether it is acknowledged as spiritual or not two people come together because spirit wants them together what is important now is to look at the relationship as spirit driven instead of driven by the individual the role of spirit in our relationship is to be the driver to monitor our relationships for the good that resonated with me because it made sense nothing is coincidence in life you know me ending up with him was beyond my control or beyond anything I could have understand at the moment at the moment is just oh I like him let's be together whatever whatever but I would have ended up with him regardless and have this time with him regardless because spirit needed him to be in my life in order for me to be who I am today spirit also guided me out of the relationship safely because he had already served his time in my life he had already fulfilled his purpose in my life I find peace in that I find peace in knowing that he is more at peace now than than he ever than he's ever been when he was alive because that man was battling some some serious stuff that I could have never helped him through stuff that he never wanted to acknowledge or face and that is why intentional healing is so important like awareness is the first step but if you're not being intentional about healing from your traumas healing from the things that hurt you from the people that hurt you that stuff can transform into a type of rage that turns you into a person that nobody will recognize and I watched it happen before my eyes like I was dear when he was going through his depression and I watched that depression turn into anger and that anger turned into rage like I saw it happen and because he would never acknowledge that he needed to seek help because he would never confront the people in his life that caused him a lot of his trauma it festered it stayed there and festered that doesn't excuse what he did to me it really doesn't it really doesn't but I know what the cause of what he turned into was if that makes sense I don't know if I'm saying that right anyways today's session was good I cried one thing I'm gonna do is cry I'm gonna cry but crying is healing crying is healing anyways if you have been thinking about going to therapy and haven't decided yet let this be your reminder to start know that despite what you are going through or despite what you've been through it is all part of your journey for a reason it's so cliche to say everything happens for a reason but it really does you know the universe knows even when we don't and I find a lot of peace and knowing that I am in a better space than I've ever been in life despite what I've been through don't let anything you're going to break you you could bend you could twist you could turn but don't let it break you know that you can overcome know that you can heal and know that at the end or on the other side of that is something so beautiful like yeah I ain't see nothing yet I'm about to glow up mark my word I could feel it like I honestly could feel it anyways to all of my beautiful melanated women protect your womb by any means necessary and to everybody watching protect your peace by any means necessary I wish you all love light and prosperity and you will see me in my next video peace


We just crossed Sanchi stupa, the oldest stupa or the Buddhist stupa in the world, built by Emperor Ashoka, who was directly influenced by Gautama the Buddha, twenty-three hundred years ago or three hundred B.C. This stupa is sitting right now just a kilometer north of Tropic of Cancer, probably when they built it was built on Tropic of Cancer. And from here Ashoka's children, his son Mahindra and Sangamitra, his daughter, went down south, right up to Sri Lanka to establish Buddhist way of life. But here we are, the group of people waiting again in a village in an unknown village, but they are waiting for us as a part of the Nadi Abhyan or the Rally for Rivers. Nadi Abhyan, Bhajan Kalyan! We are taking anywhere between fifteen to eighteen hours because everywhere we are being stopped for a few...
