section five of a story of the Stone Age. This Libervox recording is in the public domain. A story of the Stone Age by H. G. Wells, section five. The fight in the lion's thicket. Uglomi lay still, his back against an alder, and his thigh was a red mass terrible to see. No civilized man could have lived who had been so sorely wounded, but Udina got him thorns to close his wounds, and squatted beside him day and night, smiting the flies from him with a fan of reeds by day, and in the night threatening the hyenas with the first ax in her hand. And in a little while he began to heal. It was high summer, and there was no rain. Little food they had during the first two days as wounds were open. In the low place where they had were no roots nor little beasts, and the stream, with its water snails and fish, was in the open a hundred yards away. She could not go abroad by day for fear of the tribe, her brothers and sisters, nor by night for fear of the beast, both on his account and hers. So they shared the lion with the vultures. But there was a trickle of water nearby, and Udina brought him plenty in her hands. Where Uglomi lay was well hidden from the tribe by a thicket of alders, and all fenced about with bullrushes and tall reeds. The dead lion he had killed lay near his old lair in a place of trampled reeds fifty yards away, in sight through the reed stems, and the vultures fought each other for the choices pieces, and kept the jackals off him. Very soon a cloud of flies had looked like bees hung over him, and Uglomi could hear their humming. And when Uglomi's flesh was already healing, and it was not many days before that began, only a few bones of the lion remained scattered and shining white. For the most part Uglomi sat still during the day, looking before him at nothing. Sometimes he would mutter of the horses and bears and lions, and sometimes he would beat the ground with the first axe and say the names of the tribe. He seemed to have no fear of bringing the tribe for hours together. But chiefly he slept, dreaming little because of his loss of blood and the slightness of his food. During the short summer nights both kept awake. All the while the darkness lasted, things moved about them, things they never saw by day. For some nights the hyenas did not come, and then one moonless night near a dozen came, and fought for what was left of the lion. The night was a tumult of growling, and Uglomi and Eudena could hear the bones snap in their teeth. But they knew the hyena dare not attack any creature alive and awake, and so they were not greatly afraid. A daytime Udena would go along the narrow path the old lion had made in the reeds, until she was beyond the bend, and then she would creep into the thicket and watch the tribe. She would lie close by the alders where they had bound her to offer her up to the lion, and then she could see them on the knoll by the fire, small and clear, as she had seen them that night.  For so they believed in those days, that naming called. She saw the men prepare stabbing spears and throwing stones on the morning after Uglomi had slain the lion, and go out to hunt him, leaving the women and children on the knoll. Little they knew how near he was as they tracked off in single file towards the hills, with cysts the tracker leading them. And she watched the women and children after the men had gone, gathering fernfrauns and twigs for the night fire, and the boys and the girls running and playing together. But the very old woman made her feel afraid. Towards noon, when most of the others were down at the stream by the bend, she came and stood on the hither side of the knoll, a gnarled brown figure, and gesticulated so that Eudena could scarce believe she was not seen. Eudena lay like a hare in its form, with shining eyes fixed on the bent witch away there, and presently she dimly understood it was the lion that the old woman was worshiping, the lion Uglomi had slain. And the next day the hunters came back weary, carrying a fawn, and Eudena watched the feast enviously. And then came a strange thing. She saw, distinctly she heard, the old woman shrieking and gesticulating and pointing towards her. She was afraid, and crept like a snake out of sight again. But presently curiosity overcame her, and she was back at her spying place. And as she peered her heart stopped, for there were all the men, with their weapons in their hands, walking together towards her from the knoll. She dared not move, lest her movement should be seen, but she pressed herself close to the ground. The sun was low, and the golden light was in the faces of the men. She saw they carried a piece of red, rich meat thrust through by an ashen stake. Presently they stopped. Go on, scream the old woman. Ketskin grumbled, and they came on, searching the thicket with sun-dazzled eyes. Here, said Sis. And they took the ashen stake with a meat upon it, and thrust it into the ground. Uya! cried Sis. Behold thy portion! And Uglomi we have slain. Of a truth we have slain Uglomi. This day we slew Uglomi. And tomorrow we will bring his body to you. And the others repeated the words. They looked at each other and behind them, and partially turned and began going back. At first they walked half-turned to the thicket. Then, facing the mound, they walked faster, looking over their shoulders. Then faster. Soon they ran. It was a race at last, until they were near the knoll. Then Sis, who was hindmost, was first to slack in his pace. The sunset passed, and the twilight came. The fires glowed red against the hazy blue of the distant chestnut trees, and the voices over the mound were merry. Udina lay scarcely stirring, looking from the mound to the meat, and then to the mound. She was hungry, but she was afraid. At last she crept back to Uglomi. He looked round at the little rustle of her approach. His face was in shadow. Have you got me some food, he said. She said she could find nothing, but that she would seek further, and went back along the lion's path until she could see the mound again. But she could not bring herself to take the meat. She had the brute's instinct of a snare. She felt very miserable. She crept back at last towards Uglomi, and heard him stirring and moaning. She turned back to the mound again, then she saw something in the darkness near the stake, and peering distinguished a jackal. In a flash she was brave and angry. She sprang up, cried out, and ran towards the offering. She stumbled and fell, and heard the growling of the jackal going off. When she arose, only the ash and stake lay on the ground. The meat was gone. So she went back to fast through the night with Uglomi, and Uglomi was angry with her, because she had no food for him. But she told him nothing of the thing she had seen. Two days passed, and they were near starving, when the tribe slew a horse. Then came the same ceremony, and a haunt was left on the ash and stake. But this time Eudena did not hesitate. By acting in words she made Uglomi understand, but he ate most of the food before he understood. And then as her meaning passed to him, he grew merry with his food. I am Uya, he said. I am the lion. I am the great cave bear. I, who was only Uglomi, I am Wei Yu the cunning. It is well that they should feed me.  Then Eudena's heart was light, and she laughed with him, and afterwards she ate what he had left of the horse flesh with gladness. After that he was in a dream, and the next day he made Eudena bring him the lion's teeth and claws, so much of them as she could find, and hack him a club of alder. And he put the teeth and claws very cunningly into the wood, so that the points were outward. Very long it took him, and he blunted two of the teeth hammering them in, and was very angry and threw the thing away. But afterwards he dragged himself to where he had thrown it and finished it. A club of a new sort set with teeth. That day there was more meat for them both, and offering to the lion from the tribe. It was one day, more than a hand's fingers of days, more than anyone had skill to count, after Uglomi had made the club, that Eudena, while he was asleep, was lying the thicket watching the squatting place. There had been no meat for three days, and the old woman came and worshipped after her manner. Now, while she worshipped, Eudena's little friend Sai and another, a child of the first girl Sissid loved, came over to the knoll and stood regarding her skinny figure, and presently they began to mock her. Eudena found this entertaining, but suddenly the old woman turned on them and quickly saw them. For a moment she stood, and they stood motionless, and then with a shriek of rage, she rushed towards them, and all three disappeared over the crest of the knoll. Presently the children reappeared among the ferns beyond the shoulder of the hill. Little Sai ran first, for she was an active girl, and the other child ran squealing with the old woman close upon her.  And they laughed aloud and shouted to see the old woman so angry. And with a shriek the child was caught, and the old woman set to work slapping, and the child screaming. And it was very good after dinner fun for them. Little Sai ran on a little way, and she stopped at last between fear and curiosity.  She was equal of any woman, was the chief of the fire-minders, in spite of her years. But before she could do anything, Sissid shouted to her, and the clamor rose loud. Other shock heads came into sight. It seemed the whole tribe was at home in feasting. But the old woman dared not go on reeking herself on the child's siss befriended. Everyone made noises and called names, even little Sai. Abruptly the old woman let go of the child she had caught, and made a swift run at Sai, for Sai had no friends. And Sai, realizing her danger when it was almost upon her, made off headlong with a faint cry of terror, not heeding with her she ran, straight to the lair of the lion. She swerved aside into the reeds presently, realizing now with her she went. But the old woman was a wonderful old woman, as active as she was spiteful, and she caught Sai by the streaming hair within thirty yards of Udina. All the tribe now was running down the knoll and shouting and laughing ready to see the fun. Then something stirred in Udina, something that had never stirred in her before, and thinking all of little Sai and nothing of her fear, she sprung down from her ambush, and ran swiftly forward. The old woman did not see her, for she was busy beating little Sai's face with her hand, beating with all her heart, and suddenly something hard and heavy struck her cheek. She went reeling, and saw Udina with flaming eyes and cheeks between her and little Sai. She shrieked with astonishment and terror, and little Sai, not understanding, set off towards the gaping tribe. They were quite close now, for the sight of Udina had driven their fading fear of the lion out of their heads. In a moment, Udina had turned from the cowering old woman and overtaken Sai. Sai, she cried, Sai, and caught the child up in her arms as it stopped, pressing the nail-line face to hers, and turned about to run towards her lair, the lair of the old lion. The old woman stood waist-high in the reeds, and screamed foul things in inarticulate rage, but did not dare to intercept her. And at the bend of the path, Udina looked back and saw all the men of the tribe crying to one another, and Cis coming at a trot along the lion's trail. She ran straight along the narrow way towards the reeds to the shady place where Uglomi sat with his healing thigh, just awakened by the shouting and rubbing his eyes. She came to him, a woman, with little Sai in her arms. Her heart throbbed in her throat. Uglomi, she cried, Uglomi, the tribe comes.  She pointed with Sai in one arm. She sawed among her feeble store of words to explain. She could hear the men calling. Apparently they had stopped outside. She put down Sai and caught up the new club with the lion's teeth, and put it into Uglomi's hand, and ran three yards and picked up the first axe. Ah! said Uglomi, waving the new club, and suddenly he perceived the occasion, and rolling over began to struggle to his feet. He stood but clumsily. He supported himself by one hand against the tree, and just touched the ground gingerly with the toe of his wounded leg. In the other hand, he gripped the new club. He looked at his healing thigh, and suddenly the reeds began whispering, and ceased, and whispered again. And coming cautiously along the track, bending down and holding his fire-hardened stabbing stick of ash in his hand, appeared Sis.  Uglomi forgot he had a wounded leg. He stood firmly on both feet. Something trickled. He glanced down and saw a little god of blood had oozed out along the edge of the healing wound. He rubbed his hand there to give him the grip of his club, and his eyes fixed again on Sis. Wah! he cried, and sprang forward.  It ripped Uglomi's guarding arm, and the club came down in a counter that Sis was never to understand. He fell as an ox falls to the poleaxe at Uglomi's feet. To Beau it seemed the strangest thing. He had a comforting sense of tall reeds on either side, and an impenetrable rampart Sis between him and any danger. Snail-eater was close behind, and there was no danger there. He was prepared to shove behind and send Sis to death or victory. That was his place as second man.  It felt to Beau, as if his heart had fallen down a well. He had a throwing stone in one hand, and an ashen stabbing stick in the other. He did not live to the end of his momentary hesitation which to use. Snail-eater was a reddier man, and besides Beau did not fall forward as Sis had done, but gave it his knees and hips, crumpling up with a tooth club upon his head. The snail-eater drove his spear forward, swift and straight, and took Uglomi in the muscle of the shoulder, and then he drove him hard with a smiting stone in his other hand, shouting out as he did so. The new club switched ineffectively through the reeds. Udina saw Uglomi come staggering back from the narrow path into the open space, tripping over Sis and with a foot of ashen steak sticking out of him over his arm. And then the snail-eater, whose name she had given, had his final injury from her, as his exultant face came out of the reeds after his spear. For Sis swung the first axe swift and high, and hit him fair and square on the temple, and down he went on Sis at prostrate Uglomi's feet. But before Uglomi could get up, the two red-haired men were tumbling out of the reeds, spears and smiting stones ready, and snake hard behind them. Once she struck on the neck, but not to fell him, and he blundered aside and spoiled his brother's blow at Uglomi's head. In a moment Uglomi dropped his club and had his assailant by the waist, and had pitched him sideways sprawling. He snatched at his club again and recovered it. The man Udina had hit, stabbed at her with a spear as he stumbled from her blow, and involuntarily she gave ground to avoid him. He hesitated between her and Uglomi, half turned, gave a vague cry at finding Uglomi so near, and in a moment Uglomi had him by the throat, and the club had its third victim. As he went down Uglomi shouted, no words, but an exultant cry. The other red-haired man was six feet from her with his back to her, and a darker red streaking his head. He was struggling to his feet. She had an irrational impulse to stop his rising. She flung the ax at him, missed, saw his face in profile, and he had swerved beyond little sigh, and was running through the reeds. She had a transitory vision of Snake standing in the throat of the path, half turned away from her, and then she saw his back. She saw the club whirling through the air, and the shock head of Uglomi, with blood in the hair and blood upon the shoulder, vanishing below the reeds in pursuit. Then she heard Snake scream like a woman. She ran past sigh to where the handle of the ax stuck out of a clump of fern, and turning, found herself panting it alone with three motionless bodies. The air was full of shouts and screams. For a space she was sick and giddy, and then it came into her head that Uglomi was being killed along the reed path, and with an inarticulate cry she leapt over the body of Beau and hurried after him. Snake's feet lay across the path, and his head was among the reeds. She followed the path until it bent round and opened out by the elders, and then she saw all that was left of the tribe in the open, scattering like dead leaves before Gale, and going back over the knoll. Uglomi was hard upon Kat's skin. But Kat's skin was fleet of foot and got away, and so did young Wayu Hall when Uglomi turned upon him, and Uglomi pursued Wayu Hall far beyond the knoll before he desisted. He had the rage of battle on him now, and the wood thrust through his shoulder stung him like a spur. When she saw he was in no danger she stopped running and stood panting. Watching the distant active figures run up and vanish one by one over the knoll. In a little time she was alone again. Everything had happened very swiftly. The smoke of brother fire rose straight and steady from the squatting place, just as it had done ten minutes ago, when the old woman had still yonder, worshipping the lion. And after a long time, as it seemed, Uglomi reappeared over the knoll, and came back to Yudina, triumphant and breathing heavily. She stood, her hair about her eyes in hot-faced, with a blood-stained axe in her hand, at the place where the tribe had offered her as a sacrifice to the lion. Wa! cried Uglomi at the sight of her, his face alight with the fellowship of battle, and he waved his new club, red now and hairy, and at the sight of his glowing face, her tense pose relaxed somewhat, and she stood sobbing and rejoicing. Uglomi had a queer, unaccountable pang at the sight of her tears, but he only shouted Wa! the louder, and shook the axe east and west. He called manfully for her to follow him, and turned back striding, with the club swinging in his hand, towards the squatting place, as if he had never left the tribe. And she ceased her weeping, and followed quickly, as a woman should. So Uglomi and Yudina came back to the squatting place from which they had fled many days before from the face of Uya, and by the squatting place lay a deer half-eaten, just as there had been before Uglomi was a man, or Yudina a woman. So Uglomi sat down to eat, and Yudina beside him like a man, and the rest of the tribe watched them from safe hiding places. And after a time, one of the elder girls came back temerously, carrying little sigh in her arms, and Yudina called to them by name, and offered them food. But the elder girl was afraid and would not come. Though sigh struggled to come to Yudina. Afterwards, when Uglomi had eaten, he sat dozing, and at last he slept, and slowly the others came out of the hiding places and drew near. And when Uglomi woke, save that there were no men to be seen, as seen as though he had never left the tribe. Now there was a strange thing but true, that all through this fight Uglomi forgot that he was lame, and was not lame, and after he had rested, behold, he was a lame man. And he remained a lame man to the end of his days. Catskin, and the second red-haired man, and Wei-Yu-Ha, who chip flints cunningly as his father had done before him, fled from the face of Uglomi, and none knew where they hid. But two days after, they came and squatted a good way off from the knoll among the bracken under the chestnuts and watched. Uglomi's rage had gone. He moved to go against them and did not, and at sundown, they went away. That day too, they found the old woman among the ferns, where Uglomi had blundered upon her when he had pursued Wei-Yu-Ha.  The jackals and vultured had tried her and left her. She was ever a wonderful old woman. The next day, the three men came again and squatted nearer, and Wei-Yu-Ha had two rabbits to hold up, and the red-haired man a wood pigeon. And Uglomi stood before the women and mocked them. The next day they sat again nearer, without stones or sticks, and with the same offerings, and Katskin had a trout. It was rare men caught fish in those days, but Katskin would stand silently in the water for hours and catch them with his hand. And the fourth day, Uglomi suffered these three to come to the squatting-place in peace with the food they had with them. Uglomi ate the trout. Thereafter, for many moons, Uglomi was master and had his will in peace. And on the fullness of time, he was killed and eaten, even as Uya had been slain.

Hey guys, it's Monica. I am going to announce at the end of this video the person who won my last giveaway for the Julia. The Julia is a company that has sort of costume type jewelry and they've got a bunch of different designs from rings, from wedding sets, to bracelets, to earrings, to a bunch of different designs. So in my last video, one of my last videos, I had a contest where Julia was kind enough to contribute anything on their website up to a $60 US value, including shipping on top of that. So I'm going to announce that I'm also going to talk about the number one anti-aging thing in the entire world. I don't care what potions, lotions, motions, whatever you put on your skin. If you fail to do this number one thing, it's all for naught. It's all for naught. So stay tuned. You want to know who the winner is and what my number one anti-aging item is. Oh yeah, you probably guessed it. It is sunblock. It is sunblock. Now I have purchased before and have continued to purchase the color science. This is their sun forgettable brush on sunscreen 50 SPF. This is a broad spectrum. This has got some really good protection on it. I have bought this in the past. When we went, when Jay and I went to Vegas the beginning of the year, I went out and I bought this. I bought a number of other sunscreens, sun protection because I was really concerned about the sun damage or the sun that I would encounter in Vegas. So I bought this. I love it. I have one that's in my car and I use it just basically the way I do it. I shake it up. I don't know if you're supposed to, but that's how I do it. And then it's a brush and then I put it on. I don't know if you can see it.  I actually do that. I also have gloves that I put on, but sometimes the gloves are, they're not like bothersome, but sometimes I just, I'm in a rush and I don't want to put it on. So I have this that I sprinkle on my hands. I also will put this on my face. Now I like this product. There are, there are any, you know, and I've used many sunscreens. I like this product a lot. I use foundation in some cases that have sunscreen in it. However, I never have enough foundation on my face to be adequately covered at all with sunscreen. So I always have to add something else on. And this is what I have added on along with some other things. And I think the thing that a lot of people forget is that just because it's November, it doesn't mean you put your sunscreen away. If you don't continue to protect your skin throughout the winter, I don't care where you live. The sun rays are out there. If you don't continue to protect your skin, all your anti-aging, everything you're doing is for naught. So I absolutely love this. I bought this. I paid for this. I have also been fortunate enough to have been gifted from Color Science, some of their products via the Octoly Network. I have been really intrigued by their total eye. I've been intrigued by this because this has an SPF in it. It is a 3-in-1 renewal therapy. It's an SPF of 35, active ingredients, titanium dioxide 7.9 and zinc oxide 6.7. This stuff is exactly what I have been wanting for my eyes. Oftentimes, I will put sunscreen on. And sometimes I use the, you know, in the morning, it's the Australian gold, the mineral sunscreen. I put that all over my face. But I try not to go up by my eyes.  I don't like anything under my eyes. Concealers, everything I put under my eyes makes me look older, in my opinion. So I have been really wanting to try this. So when I saw this on Octoly, I said I was going to reach out and see if I could get this. What you do is you pump this until it comes out a little bit. I, the first time I used it, I put too much on. You can actually see this little dropper. You can put it on your hands. You can take it and you can dab it.  So I was laery. I said, how is that going to fail? Is it going to make my eyes look worse? It didn't. It has a little bit of a color. Let me show you. I don't know if you can pick up on that, probably not at all. But I just put some on my, on my hand. It has a little bit of a color, but it kind of blends in to your skin really nicely. You can use this a couple of times during the day. You can even use it at night if you want. It does have other benefits other than just sun protection. But for me, the main thing in here was the sun protection. However, it kept my under eye area hydrated and I felt really protected. Definitely protected more than it ever has been because I've never brought the sun block all the way up there because of the fact that I didn't like how it looked cakey. I didn't like how it enhanced my wrinkles. So this is really, I was super excited about it. And I will tell you, I've used it on my eyes probably, I think I've had it a little over a week, maybe close to two weeks. I've used it on my eyes. I've tapped it in. It's felt really good. You can actually reapply it right over your makeup and I've done that. It hasn't impacted my makeup at all, which I think is really awesome. So I really, really like this. And now that we're on the vein of sun protection, I'm going to tell you they came out with this amazing little sun protection duo. I think this is adorable. So in this, I mean, you could gift this for Christmas. Obviously, this is a holiday edition. It has a lip gloss that has sun protection. And then, again, it has the brush on. So what a great idea. What a great gift. This is the sun block lip gloss. And I have lipstick on, but I'm going to put it right on top. It's a little bit darker. I think the shade is a limited edition. Water-resistant 40 minutes. Active ingredients as zinc oxide. Broad spectrum 35. It's a lip shine with a little bit of a tint of plum over it, which I really like a lot. So I put this on. It has, it has a slight little taste or scent of peppermint. I actually like it. I like it a lot. So when I saw this holiday duo, I said, I do what I said. This is really super, super cool. This was sent to me complimentary from Color Science via the Octanele Network. And you guys already know I love these products. You already know that because I bought this a couple of times. So getting this little gift like this with the lip gloss was amazing. I absolutely love it. The other thing I saw, and I am a, I use wipes a lot. I really do. I use all different kinds of wipes, but when I saw that they had their own white Color Science hydrating cleansing cloth, I'm going to pull it out. Oops. One side is totally smooth and one side has little gentle nobis in it. So you've got a smooth side. You can use this just to even hydrate if you want. Or you can use it to remove your makeup if you want. So to me, this was a no brainer. This was also sent to me complimentary. I was thrilled that Color Science accepted me and thank you Octanele and Color Science. So I love this. This is awesome, awesome stuff. I'm going on a trip. If all goes well. My dad is still in the rehab facility. If all goes well, I'm going to be going on a trip. This is a trip I've had planned for quite a while. My sister will be back. She has been down in Florida for a little bit. She will be back and Jay will be here. And so my kids will be here. So there will be plenty of support for my mom and my dad. But I'm planning on going on a trip and this is coming with me as well as all my sunblock. And like I said, it doesn't matter what time of year it is. It is November here in New Hampshire. There's still sun. If you don't do this now, if you don't start doing sunblock, if you don't start really taking care of your skin and using the number one anti-aging item to me, which is sunblock. You're missing the boat. You're wasting a lot of money on a lot of products for nothing. And so now for Julia. I have two Julia products. This was sent to me. Both of these were sent to me complimentary. I know this is not going to be picking it up really well, but I have this Daisy ring and many of you have seen it. I'll try to insert some better photos in here. And then I have this wedding set. This wedding set is very close to my own wedding band. So my whole thought process was I am a person that I like to have bling. I like to feel secure when I travel. So my whole thought process was that I was going to go away with these and I am going to go away with these. So you might be seeing video clips of me when I'm away after soon anyway. So I'm not too sure when this is going to go live, but you'll be seeing video clips of me when I'm out and about away from home and I'll probably be wearing these gems and I'll be definitely bringing all my sun protection goodies with me because I'm going somewhere that might have a lot more sun than I have. So I hate to be mysterious, but I don't want to give it away. And on my head, I've been playing with this. On my head is, this is my Raquel Welch. This is Flirt Alert. It's kind of interesting because I haven't worn a wig in my videos in a bit. I've had mostly the hair top or on or I've actually had some videos where I've just been in my, you know, where my hair is pinned up or whatever. So I have not worn a wig in a while and I'm like, oh my gosh, I have so much hair. Love it. But I have so much hair. I was watching one of the videos that one of the wig gals put out about, you know, getting used to a wig the first time and I'll try to link her video below. But a lot of what she was talking about is spot on. When you wear a wig for the first time, it's sort of like, oh, you got all this volume, get all this hair and you just begin wearing a mop. Well, I have some wigs I wore early on in my, my, I wasn't going to say Korea, but no, some wigs that I wore early on in some of my videos when I first started getting wigs that, you know, definitely looked very wiggy. And to some of you that this might look wiggy compared to my hair. But this is the Raquel Welch Flirt Alert. And this is in shaded wheat. I, this is, I love this wig. I love this style. I also have the Raquel Welch Editors Pick. I have a John Reneau, is it Kristen? That's a Bob style. I have several wigs, some that I bought, some that were sent to me.  Most that I bought, some that were sent to me for a review. I love hair accessories. I love things like this. I just think it's like super, super easy to, to film a video. And when you see people that, you know, do wig reviews on like Taz's wig closet, and the people that do it all the time, there's no way I will ever come close to the way they review a wig. But I think I bring, you know, when I have a wig on my head, I think I'd kind of bring maybe a different mix. Maybe my face shape is different.  I'm an older woman. You know, can I pull something like this off? And I know that many of you probably watch Nisha, Sugar Puff and Fluff. And she reviews a lot of wigs. She reviews a lot of her Cal Welch wigs too. And one of her favorite wigs is Editors Pick. And I think she, she does shaded praline. Is that the color? I think it is. But I've never tried that color. But this is shaded wheat. I also have the one in Shaded Cappuccino. And then I have one of the Jon Renau Blondes that is really blonde. So, and then in my Uniwigs, my hair topper, that's in the color Almond Frost, which is very, very close to my own color. So anyways, congratulations to the winner. I'm going to insert the clip now. Make sure you reach out to me and send me. My email is in my description box below above, wherever it is on this video is my description box. And just make sure you send me your contact information.

What is up everyone happy Tuesday November 14th 2023 had a big gap up overnight, but Doesn't always mean you're gonna have a ton of trades, but I made the most of them for sure So start off with a mighty 90 Oops mighty 90 here in Netflix for a small winner and then Jumped in an Amazon continuation runner earlier than normal, which is a nice winner and then Netflix. I turned around and went My mighty 90 was a short so I turned around and got long Netflix it ended up being really nice So a nice four-figure day on three trades plus 1,095 so we had this big gap up but Doesn't always mean you're gonna have a lot of price movement after the bell rings because you have a lot There's a lot of movements happening happened pre-market here So Netflix had this mighty 90 right here, then it pushed up to this pivot Let's see. I think I got in right about here and Then it pushed up even more and I added to it like right up here and then it started to come down I got out a half down here was a dip below the pivot and then Just bailed on it right there and I bailed on it before this second Second red bar and the reason I did is it looked like it was setting up to be an upside continuation push up Could solidate push up and so that's why I had a continuation runner to the upside because Once it came back down to this pivot I jumped in long I closed out that mighty 90 jumped in long and then rode this up It got out ready right about as it as it got up here It I didn't think it was gonna get through this pivot So I bailed on it and then right after I bailed on it It did push up through the pivot. So I only had a couple contracts left anyway But it looks like if I would have held it that I might have gotten some more out of that trade, but oh, well So that's the mighty 90 and the continuation runner in Netflix and then Amazon So Let's see So Amazon had this nice push up And see Okay, so this nice push up and then I had this little pullback and this was a red bar This green bar here was red from for a minute or two so I just got long here everything else was pushing up and Amazon had this little pullback and so I rode this Amazon up Got a half got out of a quarter And then started just chop coming down came up and then once it couldn't it couldn't bust through this pivot here Okay, you know I got pushed back down. I just bailed on it So I don't only had a couple contracts left as well in that so push up Profited from all that and then I mean you can look the range has been so tight for the last what five ten fifteen twenty twenty five thirty thirty five forty forty five minutes So just bailed on my last couple contracts Took the nice green day, and I'll be back here tomorrow. See you then Peace

That's where they are. I'm actually out and about searching for the the lost hidden tips of Dunkers of old Let me tell you it's a and you found it lots of archaeology Archaeology lock of archaeology, but I haven't found it yet, but I feel like I'm getting really close It's kind of like that movie with What is it?   You're the only you're the only one actually All right, so you're talking about Star Wars go on Nicholas Cage so I am like Nicholas Cage in National Treasure and I am out searching for the answers to the original foundation of dunk life You what if we made a whole documentary or we ended up making a movie searching for it in a very similar fashion? We should do that. We should do that one day Let me pitch it to some people. So what are you doing in Connecticut? Cool. I'm under NBA. Is it dunk related? Would you but not in the way that you might whoa, what the I've been a sound again. You can't hear it. So what's up man? Why are you doing that? Cuz man, it's cool thing for the dunk game It's cool thing for me. It'll be fun. I Get to stay in a hotel room for three months. Whoa Three months in Connecticut Yeah, oh my god. I honestly have no idea what's happening right now, but can I come visit? If you would never go there, we can have a dunk session. Never dude. I'd never go to Connecticut. How close is that to Boston? Not like like like nine hours not far or like one hour. Yeah, because I'm going to Boston next week We're living our dream lives out here From my exact location. It is a three-hour drive to Boston It's not too bad Just read up driving down to Boston to hang out if you want I might only be there for a day, but Well, I might only be there for an hour. All right, so we got any tips for the folks back home You know people are tuning in they're chilling out They're like, I need a good podcast on wine I need some dunk life tips in my life to friggin help me jump. I just want I just want to be like Steven Barth I just want to dunk like them My advice for the people which is always very relevant to what's going on in my life is Sometimes in life you have to expand you have to do more you have to think more broadly things like that This is what we talked about the last time, right? Sometimes in life you have to do the opposite you have to look at what worked you have to You know follow a process not move on to the next one So sometimes in life you're expanding sometimes in life you're Contracting but not to get smaller. You're contracting to get bigger because The truth is is you can't focus on everything at one time So sometimes you have to focus on one thing so that eventually you can focus on Never finish anything you never get to do anything. I like that. He brought it back folks I thought he was going nowhere with that, but he brought it back and that reminds me of this Don't do that I did a there was a book that talked about like Doing those things I forget the quote But it's like if you dial into all those little things and you focus on the little things you have to But I'm in the same energy You got it you got it just it brings us all the way back down to the moment You got to do what you can do right now And you can't tell us what you're contracting on Um, I mean I can tell you The general gist of what I'm contracting. Yeah, please So a lot of what I've been doing in the last like Six months nine months mostly has been like Kind of like I would say I would call it self-rediscovery. Wow You know lots of change in my life um I wouldn't say lots of negative things happening, but just you know Like lots of unexpected change the last year. I had a question that I was asking myself That sounds really good and it led me to this question. By the way, it was hard to do the podcast alone Um, because I was trying to answer this question I think jumping helps you eliminate your ego Have you experienced that? I think That's interesting. I think that It can I think that being passionate about anything right Can help you eliminate your ego Well, the reason I bring it up is because especially at our at our stage where it's at such a high level That at this point it's like Do something else already But because we love it so much there there's almost No ego. It's just for the pure joy So sometimes it starts like that and then it becomes ego but then if you if you're doing it for the mastery of it like you're doing it for just the The attempt just a pursuit of greatness for yourself Yourself is the key then I think it helps everything I definitely think I've gone through that like I think I got a way for dunking for the love of it It started like that obviously And then when I made like a little money on it, I was like, whoa, like now it's a serious thing and all that and then I realized it was never that serious to begin with and I don't know why I never became so serious And now I'm back to just having fun with it again And now that I'm having fun with it again, I'm doing more things than I've ever done. Whoa But I was talking about you kind of went you started off with just the love of it Then you expanded to like, whoa, I could do a lot with this and you're like, wait a second There's not that much. I only want to just dunk and you contracted back and now you're expanding because you contracted Correct. So like like I like expanded out because I was like like dunking could take me places I lost the purpose behind dunking that took me where I even was Then as I like Experience that for a while and I kind of like when I lost the purpose of why I was doing it I didn't get the goals then I like retracted regained the purpose because I realized that's what I lost And then all my goals started happening again because I I was it was easy to do it again Because I had the purpose back. Isn't that I never did it for the money. I never did it for the goals I did it because of the underlying purpose. Yeah, which is It's fun That's it to work so yeah, so um anywho I know You you work a lot to get better at coaching and that's what you're always like working on whether it's your Actual programming or studying, but are you reading anything outside of jump relating or something that's different than you? I promised someone yesterday that I'm gonna read the golden compass. Whoa, what's that one? Let's look it up for the folks It's it's some like It's like a fiction Book, okay. I'm gonna read the summary for our listeners real quick The golden compass opens as a lyra bella qua a young girl.  Give me a summary the golden compass A similar Alternate world similar to earth a young girl who's been given shelter by the scholars Come on. Give me a summary over here Can you give me one? I don't know what it's about. Oh, okay. So this is good for you too Um Someone I know this is their favorite book and they they told me that like the the actual story is just amazing and the writing's amazing So, okay. Why can't I find a just normal summary? Here we go the golden compass summary This is a nine paragraph summary. Just give me like a Where's amazon start reading hold on I'm just gonna order it on amazon And we'll do this podcast until it arrives and then wait. Is it called northern lights? I keep coming keeps coming up with Oh, here it is. There's three books. I think Uh, modern fantasy classic. Oh my goodness gracious All right, so I'll just read this because this is what it says is two paragraphs Lyra is rushing to the cold far north where witch clans and armored bears rule, huh? North where the goblers take the children they steal They steal including her friend roger north where her foursome uncle asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world These names are way too difficult Can one small girl make a difference in such a great and terrible endeavors? This is lyra a savage a scheme or a liar and as a fierce and a true Champion as roger or asriel could want but what lyra doesn't know is what one help them to betray the other A master work of storytelling and suspense All right, there you go Arguably the best juvenile fantasy novel of the past 20 years as the washington post Juvenile fantasy That's what you're gonna get into baby. I like that. All right All right, so aside from juvenile fantasies anything else new in barth's world Anything else new in barth's world other than the things I can't speak of Um Yeah, it's a lot of news. Oh, where do you live now? So I still live in like clear water But I moved I have a roommate now, so that's cool. Um, should we start playing video games? Start playing video games. Yeah I think it depends like streaming. I think it'd be so fun. If you mean me and you Yes, I think maybe we should now and then you're saying like other people as long as we don't do it too much You know, I had my podcast yesterday was about distractions versus enjoyment. How do you distinguish the two? How do I distinguish the two? I think distractions are things that keep you from doing things you need to do And enjoyments are things that actually help you do What you should do when you need to be doing. Wow, that's a great answer. But what about like watching star wars? Well, I think watching star wars is fine You have to think think about life like this. I know the answer, but I want to hear what you say Okay, this is what I'm gonna say. I'm gonna make it way more complicated than needs to be about life So think about life in like different aspects, right?   Like it doesn't help this one, but it helps these. Okay. Well, you could just work till one in the morning And that'll help these two But This one helps, you know Three I don't think I've ever done this So I've never done this before so I've never done this to one. Can you see this one? I'm doing One in the world. I've never done that one. You just did that You just did but um so Yeah, anyway, the point is though that I think it's totally fine. I think it's just Life is not a sprint Life is a marathon So if you have a schedule and like say on your schedule, you have to work from eight to six Okay, work from eight to six, but then from six to 12 Enjoy yourself do other things But as long as you get your other things done like if you keep your house clean, you know, you're eating You're still eating well and you decide you're gonna play games for three hours Cool play games for three hours does it doesn't bring you enjoyment doesn't bring you happiness to you and your friends enjoy it together That's great. Yeah, it's there's nothing wrong with that But just do whatever you're doing no matter what it is Just do it Just actually do it be there and do it So when you're working work and when you're playing play But just don't mix the two I like that No But you kind of mix the two You can mix the thing what I'm saying is though is like my work is play because I enjoy it so much There you go But but when I'm working I'm working It's not I'm not just doing it for the fun of it like I do do it for the fun of it, but it's still For me, it's the same thing. What was the biggest shift that helped you turn dunking into your career Um or the hardest opposite. Yeah. Yeah. What was the hardest part for you to like, uh, like you would tell your younger self that you could really make dunking a career Good question. I think the hardest thing Honestly was to just start I think um, like when I first started training like way back in the day like back when I was on bounce kit, um, like it Before I'd really even talk to any of y'all that much Um, I was like, oh, there's no way like I'm good, but I'll never be that good And I kind of had to like tell myself, you know what it doesn't matter if you get that good Like just do it. So I just did it. Wow I wouldn't say that it was necessarily hard, but it was scary. Yeah Like a little bit. I didn't realize it at the time But I was like I was spending so much time on it when I first started that Like, you know, if it hadn't worked out, it would have been a quote-unquote waste of time I don't believe that anymore. Obviously. I don't think anything's a waste of time ever. I love that. Yeah, go ahead Um That's the hardest thing that's the hardest thing I think for I think that's one of the biggest tips You could possibly give someone that's starting dunking or trying to go to that level is that Just go for it because a lot of times we want to stop or there's like, there's no way I can do that And that already stops you right there doubt doubt's Word it's a word. What's one of your biggest mine is like, uh, the fear like I don't I don't want to ever act in fear Of things Doubt fear and anxiety are like the same thing, but do you have one that stands out for you? Doubt is the same as here actually I don't ever want to have to say I either did something I didn't want to do or I didn't do something I did Hmm. I like the second one's stronger for me It's like a it's like a personal integrity thing So like like if I like I'll give you an example, right? Like I'm not really into drugs like drugs just aren't my thing Everyone has their own like whatever that, you know, they're into and that's fun Yeah, but if I go against my thing and I went and did drugs like I would feel really bad That's just how I am though. Yeah, so like That's something I wouldn't like I wouldn't do it I just I couldn't and it's not that I just like anyone who does I don't it doesn't bother me at all for other people But for me, I can't do it and then in the same sense for myself like I need to be in shape So if I don't work out That's something I should do and if I don't do it That's bad and my fear is Doing things I truly don't want and when I say truly don't want I mean like literally that like me the whatever person being thing like I don't want and Like in the past I would get talked into things and like I knew I didn't want to do it at the time But I would still did it because I was like letting people convince me that I was someone else How do you get over that? How did you get better at deciphering those or getting stronger at saying no? I think a lot of it was just like Just realizing I think the truth is like, you know, everyone knows who they are like deep down you really know Um, but it's cloudy on top, right? It's very cloudy. That's that's what I love about the metaphor That's where the experience comes in though.   You told the fans you're gonna drop a track. You promised them one No joke. I was thinking about this yesterday Uh, I don't know man. When you're gonna drop me a beat. No, that's I don't do beats. I do raps you do the beats I don't know man Drop a rap for the fans. Whenever I can get down to uh, where you live and we can just drop an album Yeah, we should do that. That'd be really that would actually be hilarious to drop like, uh I don't even what would we call the album? That's the real question bars bars bars We just put an s but before the tea this is a funny album name for you, but it would be like sell a bit but selly bit There's this produce company on instagram called selly's c e l i s And whenever I watch their stuff, it's so weird because they're just like come to selly's Try the selly's thing. It's weird, but it's awesome. I'm like i'm the biggest fan I want to get endorsed by them. I can think of so many selly themed album names. Like you could have one called like celery Like i'm just thinking of dumb names What does celery mean? I don't know dude, but it's like like the whole like all the tracks are like real fresh super crispy You really got to bite into it to understand, you know, oh goodness gracious um Barth, what's the latest you've seen in the dunk world any dunkers you like that you saw recently or any crazy dunks you saw on the Graham Um, I think dan gross is probably like the craziest thing in dunking right now I think he's about to do a lot of stuff that like You think he's gonna get the self bounce dunk. Yeah, I do. He's about to get it, right? I think I think he could get it by the end of the year easily dude. I think he could get it like what's today's I mean, I think he could hit it any day. Yeah, I think he'll make it before the years out. Yeah So that dunk is insane. Yeah, that dunk is um Dan's different Let's just put it that way.

Enjoy yourself pizza Don't tip freaking Tuesday. I'm gonna roll the outro right now.


first year as the pitching coach I'm pretty sure that this is not the way that you thought the first year would go what's been the toughest thing for you Matt yeah I think you know obviously you know it's definitely not how you would draw it up but at the same time you know glad to be here and rolling with the punches so I think that the hardest part is just you know trying to find the informal spaces to continue to develop the relationship for the guys you know obviously it's tricky when everybody's wearing masks all the time and you're kind of in these you know smaller groups where it's hard to get the group together as a whole and make sure we're all on the same page and the messaging is consistent so just takes a lot more diligence and persistence and some of these smaller conversations that make sure that as a group we're all pulling on the same rope and we're all together and kind of what we're trying to do so that's definitely been probably the biggest challenge and kind of how we've had these start stops and some of the different things going on. Matt thank you so much for the time. Thanks Meredith.


How you guys my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel you guys in today's video I have a book haul I haven't done a book haul in a while you guys should be very very proud of me because I really have been Sticking to my budget when it has come to like all of the homeschooling books and things like that But I have a haul for you guys today, and I cannot wait to share with you all the books that I got So you guys let's go on So you guys let's go ahead and get on into it as you can tell I'm very very excited So I went shopping you guys at book outlet in Amazon. So I have my Book outlet box right here.  The box is kind of mangled this time It wasn't as like pristine as it usually is and then I have two Amazon boxes that I have right here that I'm gonna share with you guys all the books So let's start off with this little box right here So you guys I have been collecting like some summer books to go on my shelf downstairs because that's usually like the area That I keep all of like my seasonal books and things like that So I picked up under the mango tree and I never heard of this title But it just looked cute and I just typed in on Amazon I typed in like summer picture books and this was like a teacher pick book So hopefully this one is good, but it just looks so cute and my favorite fruit is mango So I thought the kiddos would enjoy this one Picked up Jabari jumps and this right here is a picture book that goes along with my Middle daughter Leia's a gentle and classical preschool. We're not going to Be on this book for a couple of units However, I just wanted to pick this one up to add to our collection So when we do read this I will already have it on hand, but this one looks like a cute book I haven't read it just yet So I will give you guys like all the reviews and the rundowns of these books really really soon But this one goes along with our gentle and classical preschool and another book that I picked up really just based off of the teacher Picks in on Amazon was cannonball and this one looks like a great story It says here my songs see my lines check my moves. They're so fine. See me soar. See me fly See me swooping through the sky, but watch out for my cannonball and that's what it says on the back You guys so this one probably is going to be like a really really great read So I'm excited to add these new books on my bookshelf for summer time So hopefully the kiddos love that one. So the next thing that I got from Amazon is for Braille I picked up this new school nest vocabulary notebook for her We actually recently wrapped up like our homeschooling test any things like that and my daughter She did really well. However, I was just seeing some areas that she needs to improve in and vocabulary was one of them So I picked up this school next notebook because I love how the vocabulary is set up in this notebook So for each day she will go in with her vocabulary word and write the definition She will write the word the definition in her own words She can draw a picture if she would like on this side It says use my vocabulary word in a sentence It has copy work right here and this is the word study where she has to break up the word from its prefix root and suffix She has to find synonyms and antonyms and this notebook I just really love how it is set up for her to really dive in deep when it comes to Vocabulary and for her to practice it I feel like the method in which I was trying to go about vocabulary last year probably didn't work out for her So hopefully by using this and for her just to focus on like maybe one word a day That probably would be a better way for Brielle to really master those vocabulary skills I also went ahead and I picked up the Sullivan learning Vocabulary flashcards grade 5 and this has 240 vocabulary words, so I know we probably won't go get through all 240 this upcoming school year However, I looked at some of these vocabulary words you guys and I don't even know the meaning so I really feel like these vocabulary words will be able to just stick with us at least through the next few years So we can work on this vocabulary and really just beef up and hone in that skill in our homeschool So I picked up just this vocabulary notebook from school mess and then some flashcards. So yeah Now something else that I got from Amazon I got this book right here It's called explore the history of Juneteenth and this right here is a part of the story of Series and I'm so excited to read this with my daughter We are about to be entering like Juneteenth the new national holiday that's here and my daughter Once Juneteenth was made into a national holiday last year She really wants to learn more about it and we never got around to doing it So I figured this year we can go ahead and read this book like the week leading up until Juneteenth And I really love these story of books. I love like all the colors illustrations I love like the critical thinking and has like geography I really really love the format of these and hopefully she will learn more about Juneteenth Reading this book.

Alhamdulillah, Rabbil Alameen. Wassalaatu wa s-salamu ala Rasulillah, yamma ba'd. In this video we are going to talk about how to successfully complete a lesson. How to go over a lesson and know that you have definitely completed this lesson. There are three main things that we need to focus on to be able to successfully complete a lesson. When they've been doing these three things they are other things. So the first three things, the first one is you need to obviously listen to the lesson. Whether it's the vocabulary lesson, whether it's the essential lessons or you know as we call it in Arabic, you need to listen to those. You need to listen to those as if you were in a real class. Okay, don't listen to it laying down on the bed, you know, before going to sleep. No, actually get up, take a shower, take your best clothes, sit in front of your desk and always advise you to always have a specific place where you only study there. So your brain gets used to that.  Half adab al-mufrad, half, you know, like behave well for yourself and respect the knowledge that you are getting in order for Allah to give it to you, make it easy for you. So sit down in front of the desk, listen to the class as if you were listening to me live and listen to the class. Now in between, you know, listening to the class, everyone is different. Everyone learns different and everyone prefers different things when learning. Me personally I like to take notes, just things that the teacher is saying, I just write down things or I question my pop-up while I'm listening to something or sometimes as well I might say something while I'm speaking, while I'm teaching the lesson, that it's not going, that you're not going to find in the Kitab al-Tabiyyid, that you're not going to find in the essential lessons, I'm only going to mention it and it might not be important for me, it might not be a benefit for me, but for you it might be a benefit. So you might want to write those down to later on, write it down on the mulahabad section of your Kitab al-Tabiyyid, on the notes section of the Kitab al-Tabiyyid. All right, so everyone is different. You might want to take notes, you might want to keep rewind in the video, oh what did he say this? You might want to follow the transcript at the same time, you might want to be reading as you're listening, everyone is different, everyone is different. So whether you are listening to the regular lesson, just listen to me whether you are following the transcript, you can as well perhaps speed up the lesson a little bit. This is completely up to you, you need to find what is best for you and when you feel what you feel the most comfortable with. But the most important thing is that you need to listen to the lesson, listen to the lesson, pay attention and absorb knowledge, absorb knowledge, preferably during the morning just as if you were taking a regular class, you don't want to be laying down, eating while working. Yes, you can listen while working to benefit from it, to perhaps listen one time before you actually listen to the lesson attentively just to know, okay, yeah, remember that now he mentioned these and mentioned. That's completely fine, but there has to be a moment, a time, at least once where you actually sit down in front of the lesson and listen to it, paying attention, taking notes, perhaps rewinding and whatever it might be, you need to listen to the lesson. Second of all, what we want to do is after you have listened and paid attention to the lessons, you want to take a moment to absorb all of that knowledge, go over it, read the notes, okay, make sure that you have written all the, you know, make sure that you're not missing any meaning, make sure that you understand everything that was explained. If you have a question asked, asked what was meant, what did I mean when I explain these, I didn't understand these, I didn't understand that. You need to take a moment to make sure you have collected all the information, to make sure you have collected all the information and take time to know if you have understood everything. So take a step back, absorb it, make sure you have collected everything, write down all the words in your daftar tabid, all the nouns, or the tabirat, or the expressions, or the verbs, write them down. I highly recommend you to write it down.  If you don't do this, then you're not going to be working on writing. A lot of students, they want to be slick and download the daftar tabid that is already done, so they don't have to write it down, but you are only hurting yourself because you're not working on writing. So going through the struggle of writing every single tassarif, every single conjugation, every single noun, you are reading at the same time, so it's extra revision that you're doing, and it helps to get ready to then go ahead and memorize it. Now you need to make sure that when you write it down, you write down all the harakat perfectly. Don't write down the haveayahihibu, because then you're going to memorize it wrong. So make sure before you go into the third step, which we're going to talk about right now, make sure everything is completely perfect on your daftar tabid before you actually go into the third step. Then the third step is the most important one, is the crucial one, the core of this whole process and what is going to determine if you have passed this lesson or not. The third step is memorizing the words, memorizing the words. What do we mean by words? Many students, what they do is that they just memorize the mufrat, they just memorize the singular, they don't memorize the plural, that's wrong. They just memorize the past tense of the conjugation of the verb. They just memorize thehabah instead of thehabah, ithabahabun, ithabahabun or a'a'a'ada yuidu a'a'ada tun, they just memorize a'a'ada. That's wrong. You need to memorize every single thing, whether it's ahlun, ahali, ahluna, whether it's the singular, you need to memorize everything, alright? Now when it comes to memorizing, you need to make sure that you repeat. Memorizing is just about repetition, it's just about repetition.  The more you work it, it doesn't matter, remove of your head because I already see you thinking, oh my brain is not developed, oh I'm too old, or I've never memorized anything, remove all of that, it's just like a muscle. It's just about working it. So the more you work on your muscle, the more strength you will gain. And obviously going back to what we spoke about, the talib la ilm, the student of knowledge, the student of the Arabic language, needs to cut, as Ibn Qadama al-Makdisi said, cut all ties or things that are making you busy. The more things you have in your brain, the more things you are thinking about, as Ibn Qadama al-Makdisi said, the more thoughts you need to think about, the less strength you have when memorizing. So that's very important as well, your environment, what is going on in your life, that's what's going to make you able or less capable to memorize. But the key point and the key thing when memorizing is repetition.  That's the ideal, at least 250 times. Now there is levels. If you just want to be an average student and just pass by, yes, repeat it 100 times. If you want to be a decent student, repeat it 250 times. If you want to be an optimal high performance, peak performance student, repeat it 500 times to 700 as they do in Mauritania. Okay, so 100, 250, 500. You choose the more you want it, the more you are going to repeat it. And believe me, you are not going, you will never regret repeating it too much. That's something that doesn't happen. You never regret repeating something too much because at the end of the day, you need to memorize all the words and to know them as al-Fatiha. Just the same way you know your name and al-Fatiha, you need to memorize them that way. All right, so when it comes to memorizing, what do you need to memorize? You need to memorize singalus, plurals, you need to memorize murad-i-fad, synonyms, you need to memorize muddad, anthonyms. So basically you shouldn't leave anything in your Kitab al-Tabit that you don't know. You need to get to a point where I ask you, what is the jammu of ahlun? You tell me ahlun, ahali, ahluna, and the muradif of it is usratun. And the jammu of that muradif of that synonym is usarun. All right, and perhaps the opposite, the anthonym is sadiqun, it's friend. And the jammu of that anthonym is asdiqa'u. All right, so you need to have all of this in your mind. The sharper you are, spitting out this vocab in a regular sitting, like where you're not using it, where I ask you, okay, what is the tasrif of istama'a? And you tell me istama'a, istama'a, istama'a, istama'a, ustama'a. The sharper you are here, the sharper you are going to be later when it comes to using it. Whether you are listening to it, someone is going to tell you. And the jammu of that anthonym is asdiqa'u. And the jammu of that anthonym is asdiqa'u. And the jammu of that anthonym is asdiqa'u. You see this process of thinking it out. The more you repeat it, the less you will have to think out. The less this process will take for you to realize what that person said. The same thing we're reading, you might read something. Wa ka'ana ar-rajulu mustami'an ila zawjati. The more you know this word, the more you have repeated it, the less this process of trying to understand what you are reading will take. And it will save you time of having to repeat the whole sentence again. Again, or the same way when you're speaking. When you're speaking, it's going to be easy for you to bring the specific tense that you need to use. And yes, you need to memorize everything. Because how are you going to say, if you're talking about the present tense and you're talking about thehabah to go? Many students, they say, anam nam, anah thehabah asuq. And they use the past tense when they are meaning that they are going on the present tense. So they say thehabah because that's all they memorized. They didn't memorize abhabu as in I am going. And through memorizing all of these vocabulary, all of these conjugations, it makes you more, it makes you fluent. The sharper you are in that memorization, the sharper you are in fluency. And it allows you to stop speaking like a caveman. Like instead of saying thehabah, anam madrasa, me, go, me, school, you say thehabtu ilal madrasa. Once you understand how to conjugate the verb because you have gone over the essential lessons and you have memorized the whole conjugation of the verb, thehabah, thehabu, thehabun, thehabun, madhub. And all of these things will then click all of these different aspects of memorization. We will then click and you are going to be able to use it in a more concise and correct way. All right, so when it comes to memorizing, you just go ahead and repeat. It's as simple as repeating as you are going to see on this next clip. Samia yasma'u isma sam'un sam'un masm'un. Samia yasma'u isma'u sam'un sam'un masm'un. Samia yasma'u isma'u sam'un sam'un masm'un. Samia yasma'u isma'u sam'un sam'un masm'un. Samia yasma'u isma'u sam'un sam'un masm'un. Samia yasma'u isma'u sam'un sam'un masm'un. Samia yasma'u isma'u sam'un sam'un masm'un.  And that is how simple it is, it's about repeating regardless of your age, regardless of your maturity, regardless of your previous and back-front experience in memorizing, it doesn't matter, it's just about just know that forgetfulness cannot cope with repetition. Forgetfulness cannot cope with repetition. The more you repeat, the less you are going to forget. So remember that, remember that at least 250, that's what I'm telling you, that's what I recommend you. If you want to be on your high performance, if you feel like you want to be something great in the future, then go ahead and repeat 500 times, then go ahead and repeat 500 times.  Obviously, you don't memorize anything unless you don't know it. You're not going to start memorizing the habiyah, the habun, if you have the habun, when you don't even know the meaning, you don't even know that it means to go. No, you memorize what you already know and understood, then you go ahead and memorize it. Alright, and this is how you successfully complete a lesson and I hope this was clear. Wa sallallahu ala Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa jami'in wa as-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullah.
