We have with us a few IIT Madras faculty and one faculty from CMI who have given online courses. They have graciously agreed, shared their feedback and experiences. So now I would like to invite Professor Nikit. Please come over and share and experiences. Professor Nikit is offering a course in MATLAB programming in Jan 2016. Hello everyone. It's nice to see you all over here. This January to March I'm offering a course on MATLAB programming. So how this course actually started was previously I last year I had offered a course on numerical methods, computational techniques for chemical engineering. And I got emails from four or five students asking me whether or not because MATLAB is one of the important, you know, softwares that students felt. So I got a few emails from students asking me whether MATLAB would be taught in an online course and we didn't have that course. And interestingly there were a couple of students, one from IIT Gandhi Nagar and one from I think SRM college who actually found from my website my office phone number and actually called me in my office saying that would it be possible to offer a course like this. And that's where I got started talking to Professor Kratap and Bharati madam and that's where this course came from. Thank you very much. Professor Deepak Himani. Professor had a course in artificial intelligence lessons. Good morning to all and welcome to IIT Madras. So my name is Deepak Himani and I work in the area of artificial intelligence. And I offered this course last semester which was called search methods in problem solving. And the next semester I'm offering a course on knowledge representation and reasoning. These two courses in some sense form the very basis of foundation of what we call as classical AI which of course is a little bit different from what is more fashionable nowadays which is machine learning. And I think one of my colleagues is also offering a course on machine learning. But this classical AI is basically the AI that you hear talked about when in TV programs when they say AI will take over humanity and things like that. How does a machine represent the world around it and reason with it and solve problems in the world. So both these courses are courses which I actually teach here at IIT Madras and they are identical. In fact the lectures that we have recorded were recorded while I was teaching the course. So the same course that was taught to IIT Madras students is also being presented in NPTEL. So that actually brings me to this problem which my colleagues Andrew and master or director have already mentioned. Which is that there is a problem of impedance mismatch essentially which I also noticed that I tend to teach the course as if I'm teaching an audience which is interacting with me and which comes and asks me questions at times but that as we discovered in the last semester does not happen. And as Andrew said a large number of people actually drop out of this interview. And at some point I noticed that the people who were left who were asking questions were mostly from the industries. People who were working somewhere and who wanted some clarifications and most of the time they wanted some extra time for assignments. They said no no we are working in the industry please give us more time in assignments. And very few from the student side. And this is where I hope as my colleagues have also said that the chapters will help us reduce this mismatch between how we offer a course and how the students are able to benefit from it. Because from a teacher's point of view it's always gratifying to teach a few people something which is useful to them. But it would be much nicer if you could teach a larger number of people and which is what this move is all about. So I think going forward we should try to see how we do this and I hope the local chapters will be instrumental in encouraging their students to ask a question. Because students always feel that oh it's a very silly question somebody will laugh at me or something like that. And they don't ask the question and then they get left behind and then they drop out essentially. So I feel that the local chapters can help tremendously in that. From our side I can try to see that my exams are more tuned towards the online course and less towards the course that I offer here. Because the exam in fact that I gave last time was the same as the end semester exam I gave to IIT students. And I could see that there was a performance difference here. So we need to reduce the simpleness in this match and that's my main feedback having offered this course. And I hope we can both work together to do this completely. And I hope you will have students doing my next course which is the second part of Artificial Intelligence which focuses on representation and reasoning. How does an agent represent the world around it and reasons with it. Thank you. Thank you sir. We have with us Professor Martin Mugun from CMI. I'd like to invite Professor to come and share your experience sir. Sir has done conducted courses in design and analysis for algorithms and Haskell's programming. Thank you sir. So it's a pleasure to be here. I'm not from IIT here. So actually it's been about a year since I think Andrew approached me to get involved with NPTEL. So I won't talk too much about the algorithms course itself. I think a lot of things have been said already about the feedback and all that. But I just want to point out that I am involved in this from many sides. So I've first of all unlike Deepak I don't teach algorithms in CMI. They would not let me teach algorithms in CMI because there are many more qualified people to teach algorithms. And I think that helps because I'm not an algorithms person. If I teach algorithms I think I can make concessions for the fact that people are not experts in the area. So that is a I think it's a huge thing. But for the last 15 years or actually maybe 14 years I've been involved at the other end of the spectrum. I've been teaching high school kids algorithms for the Informatics Olivia. And then I got involved a couple of years ago when Microsoft Research started a program to try and offer online courses matched more to individual university syllabi. So they were trying for VTU in Karnataka. And then this came up where I got the flexibility of both worlds which is I could offer an online course but teach what I wanted to teach and not what some other university had prescribed. And I found that very liberating. And I think my other hat which is that I am on the ACM India Education Council. So speaking from a purely computer science perspective I think there is a lot of concern and a lot of interest across industry and academia in trying to make teaching of computer science in India more effective at all levels. So I have been talking to various people from industry about this issue about you know how to get industry to make some kind of formal record of online courses in their selection process. At the same time we are also talking to various people from different universities about how to allow some flexibility in taking these courses for credit. So I think we need to work and it helps that I can talk to NPTEL and you know maybe work together to offer different modes of offering these courses to try and make all these things happen. So I think that this is a very exciting medium and I think as Bhaskar and others pointed out one of the big differences is that we are largely addressing students as opposed to self motivated learners. I think self motivated learners are ideal targets for this kind of thing because they are doing it since they want to do it so you don't have to really spend too much time. This is when I deal with Olympiad kids this is the model you know I don't have to tell them they are the ones who are pushing me to give them data. But if you are asking you know students who are already involved in regular program to take additional work then you have to give them a carrot at the end of it. So Microsoft research model was that you align it to the syllabus so it can help with the syllabus and the exam pattern may not be the best way to deliver knowledge. So hopefully the other carrot could be if it is actually a valuable certificate has an independent value then people might be motivated to study this. One part of this thing is that of course I think that it is very good to have basic courses like in computer science like you know programming data structures algorithms because at school level we have very poor penetration. I think most people in schools don't even understand what computer science is about and for me for example I can make this available to them saying that you know for example these Olympiad students if you want to learn programming algorithms these are available for you without any constraints. You don't have to pay anything it's up to you how much time you take so that is one end of the spectrum. The other end of the spectrum is that unfortunately the way our IT industry is set up there is no incentive for anybody to go in for graduate studies. So there is a huge vacuum of people who don't know advanced topics because they simply have not been exposed to it and also in colleges there is a I mean university there is a shortage of people who are trained to deliver this. I am also working with some colleagues this time we had a course on model checking by one of my colleagues verification so I think we can also so I think there is a market for both ends of course you know this very basic courses which are wide spectrum which can be used to lift critical thinking and problem solving skills in a large body of people and the scope for focus courses which could be I think I also get a lot of feedback as Deepak said from people outside academia. So my direct feedback through NPTEL has been very you know I would say not very informative partly because the format is not very informative but I have got I mean okay so you saw the number like thousands of people know that I have got maybe five emails but these five emails have been so reassuring and so positive and not one of them has been from a student. But it's me I mean if you get emails of that nature as the ones I have got it makes you feel that you're doing something worthwhile and I think in the long run of course it benefits a lot of people but I think we need to work out on mechanisms to make this things more effective but I think that it's a start and I think NPTEL has made a huge I mean considering that this is less than a year and a half old I think in terms of offering courses. The number of courses and the scope which has increased I think is great and I think that going forward if we have an embarrassment of riches it's only a problem that we would like to have I think and I really hope to and also from the CMI side we are trying to work more in expanding this into say areas more into mathematics and stuff so that we go a little bit outside the main engineering stream. So hopefully you know this whole thing is going to go forward so I would like to actually congratulate all of you guys at NPTEL for doing a great job. Thank you sir. Sir had run couple of courses last year and this Jan he's running again language and mind course. My name is Rajesh Kumar I teach linguistics in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at IIT Madras. In particular I teach courses in natural language syntax which is different branch of linguistics. I'll tell you my personal experience with NPTEL and how I got associated with this in short for the first time when I went to NPTEL office which is located on the third floor of ICSR building was when a senior colleague of mine invited me to record few videos on the topics of my specialization in a course on introduction to modern linguistics that he was already teaching. When I and teaching those topics in any course were not difficult things to do. When I went to the NPTEL studio and to cut the whole story short when I watched those videos later I couldn't watch 50 minutes video for five minutes or more than that. It was horrible. I couldn't watch for more than five minutes. And then it starts from there in the next semester I requested Andrew Pratap and others Professor Mangal Sundar to allow me to record a full length course that I was teaching 50 minutes every day and I ended up doing for the whole semester with the students. That was little bit little bit improved and since then I'm trying to improve upon these things. We started with a for more we started with a course on language and mind and then for 20 hours last semester I thought I designed a course on language and society which we introduced only for 10 hours. And with the help of feedback and difficulties and my own understanding of these things we are trying to improve language and mind once again and we are reintroducing this whole course once again. So I'm not sure how many courses are being repeated but I think mine is also one of them which is being read them. First time to tell you a little bit about language and mind also you can look at the contents people who take the courses they look at the contents. But when NPTEL started this program I thought the maximum number of people who will be enrolled in these courses will be 20. When I got the number there were 4000 it was though I didn't meet with them in person but that was also scary to be interacting with many people. More than 500 people were actively watching videos and not 500 people were asking questions on forum but definitely huge number of people were asking questions on forums. And yes sir it was true that lot of people were calling in offices and sending IITM emails and other things as well. It sounds 20 hours it says 20 hours for us it is not 20 hours beginning from recording to the end of the delivery it's more than 250 hours I guess. But I don't know I have not calculated those things. In any case to conclude I would like to say one more part of my experience. So since I started recording courses few videos for the first course that I did. And until now when I record courses for videos for other courses and keep revising and redoing things I came to know and meet with the staff at NPTEL office. I must tell you it's my personal experience that they help you do anything that is possible and everything they spend their hours they stretch their limits. And Saturdays Sundays everything that is possible that has been done by the staff members camera people editing people and everybody included. It's been wonderful experience and I must tell you I have not had that experience anywhere in the world in India so far. It's been an amazing experience. I'm sure your experience your interaction with these people must not have been very different. They do their best best is small thing to say they do everything that is possible to do. So I'm looking forward to another another semester. Language mind language in mind is going to be dealing with how biologically embedded capacity of human mind helps encode and helps decipher the common properties of language underlying properties of language and how it works. It's all about natural languages. Thank you. Thank you sir. We have Professor Arun Kangaralla from chemical engineering department. Professor has run a 20 hour course in Jan 2015. He's going to be offering a 40 hour course in July 2016. Good morning. Good morning. Good afternoon. It's always great to be at any event associated with education and teaching. So welcome to IIT Madras. I just want to say of course about three things. One is the great initiative of NPTEL and MOOC itself. And second thing is of course briefly about the courses that I have taught and a plan to offer. And thirdly about the NPTEL staff. I think really Rajesh has expressed everything that I wanted to say. So I'm there. I'm going to just do a copy paste. But let me say a few words. I'm sure Pratap and Andrew have said a lot of things about NPTEL. And your own experience must have made you realize how great an initiative NPTEL and now the MOOC is. When NPTEL started off, I was a bit skeptical to be honest whether this would be popular or not. And I had several debates with Professor Mangal Sundar who was originally riding the chariot. And one of the concerns that I had was whether this material is going to be misused by several colleges and so on. I was told that rather than the misuse, the advantages are many. Because one of course we are now trying to reach the community beyond the compounds of the respective institutes be it IIT Madras or IAC and so on. It's really a very nice thing to know that we are able to reach the community. Of course there have been other forums like AACP sponsored courses and so on. But those have limited outreach I would say. I think NPTEL has had a tremendous impact. I don't think I need to add or say anything the statistics themselves say for the great success of NPTEL. I mean as Rajesh said there were certain limitations although many have said that they benefited through NPTEL web and video courses. I think MOOC is a great platform now and I hope that the student community at large takes advantage of this. I think the 20 minute module, 20 to 25 minute module really helps because today as all of us know the attention span of students is quite short even for us. We won't be able to concentrate for more than 20 to 25 minutes. So I think it's a great platform and I had a great experience teaching a MOOC course. The first thing that I had to learn is to watch the camera. Now we academicians have you can call it a disease or a habit and so on. We cannot stand at one place and talk. We will have to keep moving and so on and keep looking at all directions. So this was a big challenge for me but somehow I could manage myself to master that in a couple of lectures. But once that was done I think it was easy and as Rajesh said it's not just 20 or 40 hours. That's just a number that you see on the paper. Just add a multiplication, include a multiplication factor by about 6 or something like that with all the re-recordings. And I remember during the time when I was recording ICSR had other challenges for us. So I think there was a lot of renovation going on. So we had our own challenges to pause in between. You won't know that in the video recordings and all of that has been edited. But yes there were a lot of special effects that we had to face but it was all a part and parcel of the game and we really enjoyed it. I just want to talk about particularly the experience that I had with the NPTEL course that I taught last time. It was on time frequency analysis. It's a fairly advanced course for many. It's an advanced course in signal processing. And a lot of students of course initially enrolled but I was already cautioned that the number whatever N will actually eventually drop to N by 20 or something like that or even probably much less than that. And depending on what reputation you have outside the institute as a tough exam papersetter, the number, the factor could be much lesser than that. So I think if I recall the stats about 3000 people had registered from all over the globe. It's not just India. So that was very interesting. And there were a few requests if I remember from people across the globe, couple of them to conduct exams outside online and so on and do something about it. And I think now we are probably made some arrangements or we are still looking into it. But of course I mean we could go by trust and conduct an exam and so on. But that shows the popularity of MOOC. So it was about 3000 but by the time the number of people who wrote exam at least in my course, it's not a reflection of every course. It's about 35 or 40. So you can see how things drastically dropped on. But still that's a great number because I don't want to go by the number who take the exam. I really go by the number who have registered because probably they look at these videos in leisure and so on. So that means we have really reached out to this coming. Now the two courses that I'm going to offer, one is a short 10 hour course on hypothesis testing. I just want to give a very brief background a minute. There was recently an academic summit at a Bangalore organized by the MathWorks who are the makers of MATLAB. And there was a panel discussion and I was fortunate to be one of the panel members there. And the topic of discussion was how do we prepare the engineer of tomorrow. I said you should also be concerned about the engineer of today. And also the past but we can't do much about the past. But how do we shape the engineer of tomorrow? So all of us concurred that engineering is now interdisciplinary. There is no debate, there is no doubt about that. And the common theme and the common point that all of us stressed on is an engineer is supposed to be very good at approximating things to be able to deal with uncertainties. We are not really giving exact answers all the time. Which means we should have a good base in inferencing, statistical inferencing estimation and so on. And that's something that is completely missed out in all the curricula across the globe. It's not just about our country. Across the globe you don't see this estimation or any component pertaining to statistical analysis in the context of engineering. There are pure studies courses that we all take and conveniently forget the hour after the exam is done. But that's not how it should be. We should learn how to apply statistical inferencing because we all know today big data is a craze. But it's not a craze. We are going to have, we have to live with the data for several decades to come. So as engineers we should learn how to make optimal decisions in the wake of uncertainties, how to optimally handle uncertainties. And that's why I said the first thing that we need to do is to learn how to test hypothesis because that is how systematically we go through in statistical inference. It's a short introduction to hypothesis testing. It's going to be a bit different from the way statisticians teach. And I hope that many of you will register and take advantage of the course. The 40 hour course that I'm going to teach on again is in the same lines on time series analysis which is a very popular course among our students for various reasons. Typically this course is offered during the placement season which I also call as a displacement season because they are displaced from everything else. They are only worried about placement during that time. So this time series analysis is all about analysis of statistical data and it's a huge hit among the students because they get jobs in financial sectors very easily. But you know the practicality is apart. Very importantly this course is really at the base of all statistical data analysis particularly when you are dealing with time series data, not just steady state data. So it's a full 40 hour course where we'll introduce what is a random variable and so on. Again from an engineering viewpoint not necessarily from purely statisticians viewpoint. And all of you hopefully will enjoy the course because it's for the first time of course you will get exposed to a lot of these concepts and so on. But please keep in mind that this is a very fundamental course if you want to really proceed or have a career in data analysis or even understand how data is analyzed systematically. I think from my past experience again coming back to the final point that I want to talk about which is the NPTEL staff. As I said Rajesh has really expressed all the appreciation that I wanted to and I fully endorse and support what Rajesh has just said. It's amazing staff they'll just I don't know what their limits are honestly speaking. So I don't want to say they stretch the limits. Whatever they do is the limit and then the limit changes the following day. So everyone technical administrative staff anything you want at any time of the day they are willing to help working on weekends, video recording, editing and so on. I can tell you it's so boring I don't watch my own videos. So for them they watch the videos and edit and so on. I think a really big round of applause for the NPTEL staff. Thank you very much and I hope all of you take full advantage of this MOOC and NPTEL and I hope to see you around. Thank you. Thank you sir. Professor Gaurav Rainer from Department of Electrical Engineering and professor is offering a 10 hour course. It seems difficult to add much more in terms of feedback compared to what the people have already said. So I'll keep this really brief. First thing to say is that so I give a course in nonlinear dynamics. It's a very specialized course fairly mathematical. It's not engineering applications but it's not sort of hardcore engineering as yet so to speak. Typically I get about 10 to 15 students in my class and I even offer it and I was expecting about 2 to 300 to show for this course. I was really really surprised to find when 2000 registered for this. And so what I really wanted to do was I wanted to give a 10 hour one on nonlinear dynamics, learn whatever I could and then next year I intend to give a 20 hour base course in control theory which is much more commonplace in electrical engineering. In summary I had great fun and I'm absolutely hooked. So I can safely tell the NPTEL group that I'll be giving at least one class every single year. Now that's me but I hope the students had fun as well. That was from my point of view. So I did put in a lot of effort because you're trying to do this once. You might as well say it as properly nicely as you possibly could. Once you've said it as nicely as you possibly could, you realize that you haven't said it as nicely as you possibly could and luckily you can go back to it the next year. I got one of the best compliments. I mean I got a bunch of emails and whatnot which would sort of keep you going. But one of the best compliments that I got was from a student at IIT Madras who didn't really want to tell me but told my PhD student who also happened to be in my class in non-linear dynamics in person and said, why doesn't he actually teach like this in class? So the person didn't want to tell me because he thought I might take a badly but I said that's the best compliment I've probably ever got. What else would I like to say? Yes, it would be really, really nice to get as much feedback as we can from the students, from the colleges, from NPTEL because there are small tricks, small thoughts, small ideas which lots of people have used sometimes consciously, sometimes inadvertently but which have had a huge impact and really be nice to just share all of these with us. Just to say that we always try to think of the best way to get an idea across but somebody said, why don't you teach the most common way that people make a mistake? I was like, oh yeah, perfect idea. So if you can just get lots and lots of feedback and it's usually the smaller things or what we think are the smaller things but actually have a huge impact. So that would be absolutely great. Another point I'd like to make is on this sort of 20 minute format attention spans and our ability to get distracted in a world of Facebook and WhatsApp is certainly there but from a very practical point of view a lot of students told me that if it's less than 20 minutes then it's not an activity. So I mean if you have a really engaging lecture I have sat through one and a half hours and being spellbound by lectures but that luxury sort of isn't there with us these days and a lot of students just said that whatever I had to finish at 12.30 I had to go for lunch at one and just the fact that I had nothing to do and that half an hour actually sat and watched your video. So the very fact that your attention spans I mean we can keep arguing what's the optimal size in terms of attention spans but from a practical point of view the very fact that once it crosses more than 20 minutes or half an hour it becomes an activity in itself acts as a bit of a barrier. The other thing is a lot of people talk about well you're not in a live lecture so it can be quite lonely for the student to listen to this lecture on their own I can guarantee that it's rather lonely for the faculty as well. Looking at the computer screen talking again and again and again and saying oh I made a mistake oh I made a mistake oh I made a mistake it's hard work because it's much easier to even just come have a few points and just keep talking when there are people in front of you and it's really hard work when you're sitting in front of a computer in fact right at the beginning I made so many mistakes that I actually made two of my students stand behind my computer so that I just talked to them they must be thinking I'm a bit mad but I was like okay I did it two three times then I got comfortable with the idea of talking to myself. So in summary the NPTEL team has been absolutely absolutely fabulous please give your feedback because that's the only way we can actually help and improve. Thanks a lot. Thank you professors.


Hey curlfriends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today we're going to be talking about thick curly hair, something that I personally don't have experience with because my hair is very fine. But apparently those of you that have thick curly hair have a way different curly hair routine than myself. So I asked you guys on Instagram, what is different from your thick curly hair routine from my fine hair routine?  So we're gonna do a little collab video today where I'm gonna try Alyssa Marie's full wash day routine, how she does it for her thick curly hair and she's going to attempt mine. I kind of done this before with celly curls, with frizz and frills, they both have thick hair and it requires a lot of sectioning, a lot of product, a lot of water. Usually my hair is very defined but very weighed down and if I had to guess Alyssa's hair might end up being a little dry and maybe not as defined because my routine is very quick, simple and doesn't require that much work. But I'm gonna try it again today. So after going through all your responses that you gave me on Instagram, of course I came prepared. I got a whole nother list of all the things that you guys do for thick curly hair and all the products and brands that you would recommend so we're gonna get into all of these as well. The number one thing that I got, I don't know, a thousand responses was, was to section my hair. Eight sections, six sections, twenty plus sections, a lot of sections, way more sections. Okay I get it, I have to do more sections. If you guys have seen my hair routine before, I do side one, side two.  So starting off, my hair is actually up in a very cool nifty little microfiber towel from the Perfect Hair Care. This is a collab from Amanda and Mains by Mel, their little sister collab. Very cute print. It says the perfect hair care on it. I like it because when you put it up it has a little zip tie. You just, and it keeps your towel in place. So I'm gonna need this today because I'm gonna need a lot of water for this routine and I feel like I'm just gonna be soaking wet. Now the first interesting thing that I've noticed that Alyssa does is that she starts with conditioner first. That's a new one for me. We're going to condition our hair first, detangle out of the shower and then I'm gonna get in the shower and shampoo and deep condition. So let me just re-soak my hair. I kind of just dunked it in the sink. Oh my gosh, I was about to do my two sections. I have to do smaller sections! Okay, I'm gonna need a lot of reminders during this video. So let's take a small section. Alyssa takes like this small of a section. Maybe even smaller. Let's try this pink one because it matches. Section number one, luckily I kind of just washed my hair recently so it shouldn't be that tangled. I also asked you guys for a lot of product recommendations and one of the common brands that I saw was Design Essentials. So I'm going to use the Design Essentials Naturals Almond and Avocado Moisturizing and Detangling Conditioner to detangle my hair before we get in the shower. I'm gonna use this conditioner to smooth in and detangle. Now see how I already want to like finger detangle because that's what I do but another common tip that I got from all of my thick curly hair peoples is to use a brush, a white tooth comb, or a wooden white tooth comb. So my personal favorite brush is the Be Hairful Brush as you guys may have heard of. I think it's the best but I'm going to use the Tangled Teaser because this also seems to be a popular one. So I'm going to start at the ends and then work my way up. You got 80 knots and there we go. This conditioner has really good slip and it does smell really good. Section one. How many do I have to do? It seems fair, right? If I do four per side, that's eight sections, okay? That's six more than I'm used to. Smooth this in. Now while I'm detangling, let me actually read some more tips from you guys. Another one that I got is to use thick butters, creams, and oils. All things I usually try to run away from because my hair is so fine, it will just weigh down my hair. But today I'm going to style with a leave-in conditioner, a cream styler, and a gel. I don't even know where to include an oil, maybe I'll put an oil. Next tip is to finger coil the crown area. So I will agree that if you have any areas of your hair that aren't very defined then that is where you should finger coil. It takes a long time, but everyone that I know that does it loves it and they give beautiful results. I personally just don't have the patience. And because my hair already is very curly, sometimes finger coiling doesn't make that much of a difference from my natural curl pattern. Next tip. Cream before gel. Okay, yes, I will use multiple products. No problem. I'll give it a try. I do it sometimes. Can this be one section? Well this is interesting because I kind of would think that I'm not really into putting product on top of my dirty hair because if it's wash day that means I've had product on my hair throughout the week, some gels, things can get a little crusty after a while. So I feel like the ingredients of the conditioner aren't really penetrating into my hair because there's a bunch of stuff on it. But I can see how this would be better to then clarify my hair with shampoo because then the shampoo is not going to make your hair any more tangled so I mean that makes sense. Okay, first side down, one side to go. Now here's the thing about having thick hair. The density of your hair definitely is important, but so is the porosity. So it is possible to have thick curly hair but low porosity because the actual hair follicles of your hair may or may not retain moisture differently.  So having curly hair is obviously very experimental and it's best to just try things and see it works best for you. Today I'm trying what I feel like I know doesn't work for my hair, but another thing that some of you do during your wash day is cry internally during every wash day.  Gotta fix that. I don't like that. When styling your hair, you don't blow dry because you get too much volume. First of all, darling, there's no such thing as too much volume. I have to wash my thick curly hair twice a week or it gets too matted. I can see that. So I can get away with just washing my hair once a week, but it also depends on how often I'm refreshing or if I'm keeping it up in a bun or doing any type of styles. But I could see that if your hair is really thick, it probably gets more tangled easier. So that would mean more wash days.   It's wash day. You know what they say, curls for the curls. Okay, I'm on my last section. I do like this brush. The Tangle Teaser didn't always have a handle and that kind of like gave my hand a cramp. So I really like that they have a handle now because it just feels better. Alrighty then, my hair is now completely detangled, which should make a very easy wash routine now that I get in the shower. So now I'm going to get in the shower using some more product brands you guys have recommended. So let's get to it. I'm going to now rinse out the conditioner and now apply my shampoo. Going back to the OG Shea Moisture Curl & Shine Shampoo. Shea Moisture was a very popular brand that a lot of you said that you like for having thick hair. It always smells, you know, nice coconut vibes. And I'm going to split my hair into sections. You guys say sections for everything. So I'm splitting my hair into sections even for shampoo. But I must say this is actually really nice. I feel like I'm really getting the back of my scalp nice and clean.  But now I do feel like I'm getting a deeper clean by doing section. So now once my hair is completely shampooed, I'm going to rinse it out. Now let's go in for a deep conditioner since we already conditioned. And I'm going to use this one by Myel Organics. This is actually one of my favorite deep conditioners that I haven't used in a while. This is the Myel Organics Mungongo Oil Deep Conditioner and it's protein free. Now once again, I'm going to be splitting my hair into sections. I'm really bad at sectioning you guys, as you can see, but I'm choosing small sections and applying a little bit on each strand. And I'm using a brush to really detangle once again and also make sure that every curl gets some love. So section, product, brush, section, product, brush. And this is really easy because my hair is already detangled. Another tip that both Alyssa and a lot of you guys like to do is to do twists. So I'm going to put my hair into several little twists and then put it up under a shower cap and let it sit for a good 10, 15 minutes. In Alyssa's routine, she likes to leave in a little bit of the conditioner, which is fine to do so. But I would recommend only doing that if your deep conditioner is protein free. Otherwise, you probably want to rinse out that mask. So now I'm going to rinse out the rest of my conditioner and now it's time to style. And I'm back fresh out the shower. My skin is actually kind of glowing right now. So I think I'm going to keep this a makeup-less video. But now I'm going to try a little concoction that Alyssa Marie likes to do. She takes a bottle of water and she mixes it with the Maui Moisture Shine Awapuhi Conditioner. This is for dull hair. It's supposed to hydrate, detangle, and make your hair very gentle, silicone-free. Ooh, it smells like an exotic fruit. So I'm just going to squeeze some of that in there. I don't know how much. And then I'm going to shake it up. You can do this with basically any conditioner and water and you kind of make your own leave-in conditioner, detangler spray. I definitely recommend this for those of you that have kids that need to detangle all the time. Add whatever conditioner you like that has slip, add some water and then spray it on there. That way you're giving your hair moisture and detangling help. Now for the dreaded sectioning. So I'm going to take this small of a section first.  Because she, just like you, suggested that you see the best results when your hair is soaking wet. This does smell really good. Okay. Soaking wet. Now for my leave-in conditioner, I'm going to use the Melanin hair care multi-use softening leave-in conditioner. It has Baoba oil, turnip root, pro vitamin B5 and no sulfate, some pheromones, no silicone, no melanin or oils, no phylates, no formaldehydes. And Melanin hair care has been a very popular recommended product for both thick hair and type 4 hair. Sleuthing it in there. My hair feels so, so moisturized. And on a wash day, after deep conditioning, but I'm going to then also go through with my brush. Make sure the product really gets in there. And then for my gel, I'm going to use the Kinky Curly Original Curling Custard. Now this is the only thing that is giving me any hope that this routine is not going to be a total nightmare because I do like this gel. So I'm hoping that the hold from this gel will just kind of make everything better. I'm getting a lot of different scents here. This is like fruity, and then this is kind of like minty, and then this is like sweet, like a cupcake. But I need to do a little test first. I'm going to put a little bit of leave-in, and I'm going to put this gel, I'm going to mix them up to make sure that this isn't going to flake. Mmmmmm. You know what? This might not work. I'm kind of glad I tested this. So see when I mix it together? It's kind of making white clumps? That means it can create some flaking on your scalp. Take a look at that. That's not what you want to see. So I'm really glad that I tested that because I don't think that this would have been a good mix! Let's switch it up. Okay, let's start experimenting. A lot of you guys also like the patterned stronghold gel. like the curls blueberry bliss and I have the as I am classic leaving conditioner. Let's see if this leave-in will do better with the kinky curly. So I'm gonna put a little bit like that. Add the kinky curly jelly. Mix them together. That's not exactly what we want either. Let's try melanin leave-in with the pattern gel. Somebody might thinking that I'm wasting product on my hand.  Am I right? These two together. Oh see okay I'm not crazy. That's what we want. Yeah. See how it's nice and creamy? That seems to be a better mix. That's what we're gonna do today. We're gonna do the melanin leave-in and the pattern gel. Guys this is so juicy. Okay one very wet section down. Oh so many steps I'm forgetting the order. First we soak it with our concoction. Some of you even like to add more water after applying your styling products. So I'm gonna use my leave-in. One little squirt. Break that through. Especially on the ends. Add some gel. That's how much I want me to put. Okay this is what you guys do huh? This is what you guys do. Let's set a timer. It's now 4.30. Here we go. And another tip that you guys all mention is that you use a lot more product. Oh this feels so heavy.  So whatever's gonna be kind of like by your face. Gonna do a little twisty-do. And sometimes products are great on their own but they don't get well with others. You know we've all had a progress report card in elementary school. Now in Melissa's routine she uses so much product that it's actually like white on her hair sometimes. But she says have no fear because that always goes away. So if you have low porosity hair it might be looking like products just kind of want to sit on top of your hair but eventually they will soak in. Goodness this is gonna take a hundred years to dry. Now the part that was unclear from asking you guys is if you like to diffuse with thick hair or if you don't.   That sounds like a porosity issue. So let me see what you guys said on Instagram. I put one last poll up. You guys are going to decide if I diffuse or air dry until Thursday today. The votes are in and right now 57% say to air dry and 43% say to diffuse. This is gonna take so long to dry. Let's see what Alyssa does in her last wash day routine. She's air dried. So here's the final results. Very, very juicy. Very defined. I don't see any frizz in sight. This could dry nicely with the gel. I am very nervous as to how long it's going to take to dry but I will come back in three weeks and it'll be fully dry. No. It's currently 437. So I'll come back when it's dry-ish and show you. Alright. I see what you did there.  That was a good one because it is now 10 o'clock and my hair is now finally dry. So it took about five and a half-ish hours to completely dry and my hair looks completely shrunken up which is usually what happens when I use a brush and use a lot of like moisture-rich products which is you know good. My curls look very moisturized. Look at that. That's a thick juicy curl. It's great. Like they do look great. Very shiny. But when it comes to styling my hair because it's so fine it's a little bit harder to make it big and get the volume that I like and the length. Like this is not stretched out at all. My curls are extra poppin' though. Look at these little ringlets. Oh these are some cute ones. Look at the twins. Yeah. The product application. Each curl definitely got some more love than it usually does. There's like no frizz on my hair. Do you guys see this? Like each curl is just immaculate. Very very very pretty. No frizz. But I mean the shrinkage is insane. The way down this of my hair is a thing. I have zero volume. Let's see how big I can make it without even touching my diffuser. I'm even going to add an oil just for you guys. So this is the Lus Elixir Oil. It's supposed to repair your hair. It has moisture for shine. I actually use this on my son's hair more than I even do my own. So I'm gonna put a couple drops just so my hands don't create any more frizz than I need to. And let's just try to stretch these out a little bit. My hair does show really good. It feels more moisturized than it has in a really long time. Oh look at that! Everybody's really clumped together. So I'm not getting any volume. Another note from you guys following me on Instagram right now seeing my pain is that you usually start your wash days earlier in the day because you know how long it takes for your thick hair to dry. And I did start at like 430 so that wasn't the smartest move. I do like how the pattern gel worked with that leave-in. I had a perfect amount of hold and my curls are very defined and moisturized. So product wise I think we did a good job. Better. Still really short though. Let's get a little more wild. No flakes so our little test definitely worked. Now I'm bringing out the pattern pick. Better. Much better. We're getting the volume but we still got some clumpage. I am gonna just gently break you guys apart. That's what we finger coiled. See when I finger coil it kind of makes them like almost stand out too much from the rest of my hair. So it's like I gotta do it all or nothing. Stretch! It legit looks like I cut my hair when I did not. Just for reference this is how my hair looks when I style it my way. This is how it looks now. So much shorter. I also want to let you know what were the top curly hair brands that you guys said that you love for thick curly hair. Once again I got a lot of responses saying pattern beauty. I got a lot saying can too. I got Uncle Funky's daughter. Shea Moisture. Main choice. Curls. TGIN. A new one called bomb as fro curl defining gel. Sorry that's literally the name of the gel. Talia Wajid. Green Apple and Alvaro Curl Definer. Kinky Curly Knot Today. Camille Rose. Curl Maker Gel. Melanin Hair Care. Curl Smith was actually on there a lot. Not your mother's. The Matcha and Green Tea. Apple Blossom. Hair Mask. Eden Body Works. Sultanix. And Curls. So I am noticing a lot of similarities between the favorite products for thick hair and type 4 hair. I have tried a lot of them but not all of them. So if you have any other product recommendations specifically give me the brand name and the product that you love for thick curly hair and leave it in the comments below. Okay so they want to stop here. This is definitely a product of me using a lot of heavy products letting it air dry and day one curls. But I do like how my hair feels. It feels very soft very moisturized. My curls are very defined. I just took a much longer wash day than I normally do and being a mom time is very precious. And I did lose a lot of my length from the shrinkage just because my curls are so moisturized and like healthy that they just shrunk up. This is definitely a very fun experiment. I always love trying your guys' routines and at least you know what works for you. I always say don't just do what I do because I said it. Take what you can from my channel and my tips. Try it out. See if it works for your hair if it does. Keep doing it if not switch it up. That's why we're doing the switch it up challenge this year. Where I'm challenging you to try new things and take what you like and leave what you don't.  Granted I noticed that even in a Lyssa Marie's video when she grabs a section it looks as thick as my entire left side. So sectioning is great for definition in general but a must if you have thick hair. You also can probably get away with using thicker products like creams or gels. Cocktailing using a leave-in or a cream before your gel. And I also recommend trying detangling your hair before you get in the shower. Don't make sure your hair is wet with a conditioner so you have something to help you. But I did really love shampooing while my hair is ready to tangled and like doing it in sections so I am actually reaching every part of my scalp instead of just putting everything on top and just really getting like the top of my head. So I did like the sectioning for the shampoo. Pretty cool to detangle beforehand just a little bit longer. Still know that I'm a huge fan of putting my hair in twists when I deep condition. I feel like it just makes my hair like more tangled and I just have to get rid of those clumps after to help me get my volume. But I know that someone even like High Felicia does the twist when she deep conditions and she does have fine hair. So once again it's all about a personal preference. Give it a try. Trial these tips. Let me know what works for you. If you have any more tips for thick hair leave me a comment below and let me know what you think.

Hello and welcome back to MPS Ghostlype. We're joined here by Owen and Dave of Tone. So guys, what do you think the playing of second like the Redwater Reno was one of the biggest arenas here? It's crazy.  It's great for the Reno, it's crazy. I know, unlike did you expect me to be a friend? No, no. I didn't expect you to be a friend. I wasn't expected. Yes. I was expected nearly to have made you a gift to Tone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Well, like, the groove was your thing, guys. Like, I have never, like during the day you meet me and the song just came out.

Wapper. Dr. P says, I am all people. I feel all people whether someone is here or there, I can tap in easy, please. Yeah. And here's Dr. P's point. Dr. P, I'm going to just rephrase that a little bit, right? I hope I do it right. And if I'm not doing it right, please let us know. But basically, Dr. P is stating something that I believe other philosophers, politicians have stated. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. When one innocent person is hurt, all of humanity is hurt, right? Basically, we are all connected.  But if 100 kilometers away from you or 100 or 1000 kilometers away from you or across on the other side of the world, humanity is being slaughtered. Okay. How sweet is that fruit going to taste, right? How sincere is that? Is your love of the beasts around you or the other animals around you, right? If there's misery in the world on a scale that is unprecedented, right? And it's expanding. How long do you think that misery is not going to be knocking on your door? Sure, we can all plan on living off-grid and doing what it is that we can do, but there comes a time where the right thing to do is not to run away, not to hide. Sometimes that is. I don't think we're there right now, depending, depending. Then maybe it's time to make a stand.


Poland received the first 14 U.S. Abrams tanks on June 28, as part of a deal with Washington signed in 2022. Warsaw ordered a total of 250 state-of-the-art Abrams battle tanks in addition to 116 modernized ones as it seeks to bolster its military in an effort to deter potential Russian aggression on its eastern border. Speaking in Szesim where the tanks were delivered, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blazak said soldiers from the 18th Mechanized Division of the Polish Army had been already trained by the U.S. Army to operate the tanks. They will close the breastgate, a strip of land that stretches from the Far East, reaching the Vistula River and our task is to close this gate, deter the aggressor, make the aggressor not enter the Polish soil, Blazak said. I would like to emphasize that this is the first batch. This is the first company of tanks, these 14 tanks. This year we will have another tanks that will create Battalion of Abrams tanks.

those of you who have just or just joining me i officially made the switch from from sky cable internet to converge and i learned a very important thing which was apparently sky cable was scamming me actually that's a good youtube video that's a youtube video i should make sky cable scammed me because they are marketing my internet to be what my previous internet my they sky cable marketed to me that internet go was um fiber and then so i was like okay fiber internet okay no problem and then after that uh when i moved into our new house here i had sky cable just re-put the i had sky cable just put the same you know stuff inside this house so i didn't bother to ask what they were placing inside so finally when i called converge when i called converge i was like yeah and then just come on over because i'm modern in house cool uh i'm here all the wiring i don't need to be like that i'm chipping the walls it's all there and so like okay okay excited to convert to converge okay that's on me get them get them get them that's what happens when i get pissed off the sky cable fire fire fire that was delayed anyway so when converge finally came over to you know check out to install they were like sir in here like why is sky cable here and then fiber in sir you know in here copper copper wiring what do you mean and he said sir he's not using the fiber of the sky cable here that's what i'm using that's what i'm using is just copper fiber cables are glass made of glass so i'm sick yeah i remember that i remember i do i do remember now that fiber is made out of glass budge i can't even get my thing guy out okay looks like we're kind of screwed here i don't know how i can make battle cruisers now guys anyway so yeah i found out the hard way that's not yet not yet fiber ready my house and so this whole all this thing about it being sky cable sky cable being claiming that fiber that's probably why my upload speed was so horrible why should we just quit this game boys so yeah i'm really happy with um so far i'm happy with insufficient best being gas i'm happy with um i'm happy with what i'm getting so far i'm just using one unit i need that battle cruiser insufficient best

allies are being attacked our ally's base is under attack insufficient best being gas research insufficient best being gas insufficient best being gas I'm surprised that my teammates aren't complaining it and how bad I suck because I don't really care they're really carrying this what I can do is I can make sure that I'm not like I feel like I'm playing campaign here campaign I'm just playing one hero I'm just gonna make up out here guys okay we need armory and we need that upgrade okay we can still win this because I found that they haven't taken advantage where the hell is that overlord whoo that was close come on whoo that was close guys that was close okay checking out to see if there any more Nidus going on actually we're supposed to lose this game they're playing really

got some units here not enough energy what is it take it slow mineral field depleted yes guys let's get these guys beam boom boom connected connect connect okay just cover cover okay about who's his job is just to soak up all the damage well I can't believe we pulled that out I feel bad we would have lost because of me really oh okay yeah actually I to reply to lucky bear Masayoshi customer so again back to going back to my earlier statement sky cable apparently has is marketing that what they're offering is fiber internet I don't know how it can be fiber because you know you know install is copper so yeah what's up with that maybe they're thinking that part of the system is fiber and the other part is copper the one done so by I don't know I don't really know but I'm pretty sure they even call the plan fiber X or something like that sky cable I mean I've been a loyal sky cable fan for maybe close to five years five to six years now for internet and as some people who've been watching the channel know I switched because so about the upload speed in fact there was a time when I was a race and I was streaming on the channel and I couldn't even stream because the upload speed was down to 1 mbps your download was like normal like 300 350 but then you upload was like 1 mb how you can't stream with 1 mb okay and so my plan was 3 8 9 9 3 4 9 9 that was the game I re-contracted to 3 3 or 3 2 something and then now I am one with converge that 2,500 okay same map okay I think I'll just go floors and tanks and stuff here so yeah it was really I found it very disturbing that sky cable would market what their product to be fiber and then it's not and actually I think I'm one of the few people who has cable internet see Marv Marv if you if you're if you watch the if you're if you've been watching our Puedit Monk Tanong Chan show the past year and a half see Marv one of our original speakers panelists he he he was also sky cable then also had to switch what we both can say about sky cable is Magalingang customer service for the most part in fact when I cancelled my internet with sky cable so brang bilis so brang bilis they have like this Lyle Laila bar or something yung parang bot nila they're bought their boat is legit not bad I would must say usually when I see like that there's a that there's a bot and the I'll believe support but oh it's a total of the sky cable bot was very helpful I was able to talk to a real customer service person through the help of the bot after just what like a well up five minutes that's that's good that's really good I'm very surprised usually I expect the worst for I expect the worst for the most part I revisions they have bad they are still harassing me to pay as sky cable harassing you to pay yeah I'll then I oh they also harass me to pay but not for my present account but for an account that I disconnected a long time ago so revenge on you also switch from sky cable to converge this can exist 20 20 collection agency never the one that's calling you they got to produce or not enough minerals not enough minerals command center upgrade complete that's true or your revenge on how's your s22 ultra oh shit okay so any and I'm really that if you were watching my stream I was saying that I'm really tempted by the galaxies that the galaxy flip for if only it didn't cost like so much kill somebody it still takes killer pics yep that's one thing about my s21 also grab it so bring down the pictures super thank if ever I got the galaxy galaxy flip for it would be I would be still bringing the I would still be

okay we're out we're outnumbered oh I was able to save nice okay as long as I don't lose okay let's get this hey let's get that not enough energy ah alright I'm still waiting for the reply of ESG essay that's why I was haven't applied yet don't want it can't don't want to make any promises come on come on come on come on let's get rid of this yawn what why did he leave oh shit oh shit what the

don't know why that guy quit just because of me lost DD it's over I copy that revenge on so one thing I learned about the so one funny story that I didn't mention as to why I started the stream so late when I delivered the customer's PC to bull a con what's this well I'm RFID you coach Chico and apparently sobrang strict oh hey John Rubino chair cheers thanks for joining the stream again good to see good to hear from you yeah I did I didn't have RFID for my car and I know how strict it is to be on that specific Skyway I don't know why but if it was that Skyway they're not having RFID but if you're on the Skyway going to alabang the other Skyway you can still pay it cash area no problem so I don't know why special union and it's both called Skyway I don't know why the super strict anyway so I was really concerned I didn't want to stream tapos you know awkwardly no what RFID that's not the kind of that's not the kind of content I want to be projecting and then so I paid for RFID insulation and then when they installed and then when they installed it they were so I like so it says stay on the left for RFID insulation so I stayed on the left tapos my Pila to pay in cash and insulation so as a so I asked oh hey curious on your insulation see a dredger lang sir dredger lang I spraky we might have but I can't tell you yet like order car anyway so I was I was in line and I asked the first guy who is on my god that's not RFID dredger lang sir so the branch oh next guy I'm still in line so I'm against all RFID sir dredger lang okay and then finally I'm at the cashier already and then I say hey son but I'm against all RFID sir dredger lang so the virtual home onto the exit so I went straight all the way to the exit and I never got it installed but I was just following the rules say if you're installing RFID you can pay in cash if you're not installing RFID you cannot pay in cash I paid in cash I wanted to already I really wanted I wanted I wanted my RFID but then they just kept telling me to go straight into Louis I went straight to Kingdom come on the way back though I was successful in getting RFID but I you know it's it's scary you know it's scary that's what I don't like about driving in our country it can be very unforgiving and up to now we still it's still unclear actually it's not it's it's clear to the MDA that they're the only ones allowed to get your license but then all the other municipality is saying that they can get it also so you know it's been like how many years now maybe like 30 years over this incident whether or not the police can take police and be the MDA or the city or whoever can take your license and then they still can't anyway I hate I hate having my license taken away because you need you can only get your license back from the from the city hall of the place that confiscated it so I believe if you get if you get your if you get your confiscated wow stick to stick your skin yeah if you get

From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny dollar ready with your call to San Francisco Go ahead, please. Hello. That's you Johnny. Yeah, I'm in Salt City. I'm surprised. They have phones there I just got here. It looks terrible, and I haven't even located a hotel room. Mr. Gumby If I have any luck at all, I'll be back in San Francisco by tonight I'll serve the subpoena on him if he's around From what I've been able to pick up. There isn't much of a law enforcement agency here Okay Yeah, find out how a town like this ever got built Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator goes to Lee Johnny dollar Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to Samuel Rubin and Associates insurance brokers majestic building Hartford, Connecticut The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the salt city matter It all started when Sam Rubin asked me to bodyguard Ed Julian Julian was supposed to be in San Francisco when I never saw him there I saw his wife and his lawyer and the insurance agent who had sold on the policy But no Ed Julian and then a clerk at his apartment told me about Salt City He didn't tell me much else. I found the rest out for myself.  I hope not No fault of yours. I Can't blame you soon as I get a stake for myself. I'm pulling out too all kinds of funny things going on around here Now for instance last week Hello, Mr. Reno I recognized him from the Landry killing that he'd stood trial for in Baltimore in 1950 He still looked like his pictures tall thin and quiet I'd always wondered where he disappeared to after his lawyer got him off with a board jury My name is Jim Reno. I run this restaurant Everything all right Everything's fine. That's good You were you would have some of us too This time of morning sure it is a thing Connie Why don't you go back in the kitchen and put some stew on the fire? Well, Mr. Reno, I don't cook, you know that learn Yes You wouldn't be connected with the Salt City Smellerworks. Would you Mr. Reno? I own them with some other friend Then you might know Ed Junion. I understand yes. Yes. I know it He's out there at the Smellerworks staying in a cottage right by the office I'll look call you taxi if you like well the last taxi driver I asked to drive me out there threatened to call a cop This town it's better if I call you know small town sure Finish your coffee, Mr. Dollar What I'll call the cab for you. I Own the taxi company too Expense account item 12 10 more cents more coffee while I waited for the cab to appear Somehow I wasn't surprised that Jim Reno had been able to read my name in the coffee grounds But by that time I'd learned not to be surprised by anything in Salt City Item 1350 cents tipped the cab ride out to the Smellerworks was on Mr. Reno The chimneys and stacks were dark and sullen against a gray storm gathering sky The only sound was a gasoline generator is somewhere Lights were on at intervals across the smoky area One dim light burning in a little yellow cottage just inside the main gate caught my eye No one seemed around to ask questions of me. So I walked in Ed Junion and another man. I didn't recognize we're sitting in chairs opposite each other Neither of them moved or flicked an eyelash. They just sat there propped up staring at each other. I Got closer and decided one could get surprised in Salt City They weren't dead Dead men don't perspire Dead men don't have pulses Dead men don't breathe They were just kind of in between If you ever walk into a house in Salt City and find two men just sitting in a room quietly staring at each other And they aren't dead turn around walk outs Don't fall down on your hands and knees and crawl around the floor Don't start to laugh to yourself about nothing at all Don't get weepy and perspire And don't rub yourself up against the wall Then I could see somebody standing beside me looking down Couldn't move my arms and legs and that's pretty funny somebody liked about it Then it came to me. I was doing the laughing the noise was coming out of me Somebody down took my gun out of my shoulder hosting. He was wearing gloves and dark glasses And then on all at once. He had a face Easy dollar easy. I'll just take this Sure, I know all about it. I know all about it. Well, what is it? Well, what is it? Well, you came to town looking for a Julian so you could protect him maybe serve a subpoena Get him in jail. Well, I don't need no protecting. You can see that he don't need no subpoena You don't need anything better. Not now You slipped me something at the cafe. Don't you worry about that?  No, you're getting chili winners a big powder from the East bad boy Ed didn't want you to protect him. Did he dollar? No, no, he didn't he didn't want to take the subpoena. No, he didn't So you argued with him didn't you know?  You beat them up Well, chili got into the argument here. Not didn't he? Chili might have pulled a gun on you. He was famous for that I don't know what you're telling you had to protect yourself.  Oh No, no, you well valley. You just shot and killed Ed Julian and chili winners As good a job as anyone in his town ever saw and I saw it I Guess I'll have to call the police and Unopsie report will show they were drugged before they were killed And how how are you going to explain that? We don't believe in autopsy reports in Salt City All our police need is your gun. It won't work Dollar, you know it will you'll be a rain and died it and tried right here in Salt City It'll be second-degree or self-defense, maybe Now if I'd have done it or some of the boys had done it that have been all kinds of trouble from San Francisco to New York This is the way it was figured this is the way you walk right into it right smack into it Got to a street and try to drag me up with them and then both of us Over Any other place the next move would have been to run to the nearest police station But from what I'd heard of the brand of law and order practice in Salt City that wouldn't have been much help to me Instead I walked the three miles back to town making my way over the Crusted Arroyos and cactus lands that seemed to surround it My first stop the Reno bar and grill That's about the longest story in history anybody around Did you and me Johnny my full name is Johnny dollar. I'm an insurance investigator. I came here to see Ed, Jr And I saw him so I'm shot to death. What now listen to me I saw him shot to death along with a man named chili winters about half an hour ago Jim Reno did the shooting with my gun. I better call it wait wait now listen to me Remember I came in here from the station. I made a phone call from that booth outside there Yeah, I sat down had some coffee two cups. I remember you remember putting anything in my coffee me What are you talking about somebody did probably Reno when he came up now? Look you said something about wanting to get out of Salt City was sure not your chance.  No, all right Can you buy one for this? 350 I think so go do it. I'll wait here for you. You better not wait here My room's across the street second floor use the back stairway. I'll be there in a half hour Expense account item 14 $350 one automobile 1948 vintage The waitress returned with it in exactly one half hour and another ten minutes the time it took it to pack two suitcases We were on the road to San Francisco Item 15 $18 and 30 cents gas and oil it took a seven hours and 20 minutes to make it item 17 $50 I gave the waitress the car and the money then went back to my hotel Showered shaved and changed clothes or made a phone call Johnny dollar inspector Yeah, I thought they might be Inspector, I'll be glad to explain all of it, but I need some time Listen to me I was sent to Salt City to be a patsy Reno wanted to get rid of Ed Julian and chili what is it? Never mind I got out of the hotel in about 20 seconds care picked me up and I spent item 15 Three bucks transportation getting to Ray Gumby's office at 8 Julian's enterprises. No Ray Gumby Item 16 $8 more cab fare this time locating Ray Gumby's home address an apartment over in Berkeley He took a long time to answer No, I don't know how he ever made it with the two holes in his neck. He lurched forward Who did it mr. Gumby Swiftie met him at Ed's apartment house Oh What it was a good question Little Ray Gumby was a dead attorney And Ed Julian and chili winters were dead gunsles. Why? Everywhere I seem to go people were dying hard violently without apparent reason why I Had one idea same old thing the feeling the old feeling It didn't explain anything It was just there now Here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's intriguing episode of this week's story It winds up tomorrow the whys and the wherefores love and hate the usual ingredients for big explosions Join us won't you yours truly Johnny dollar doors truly Johnny dollar starring Bob Bailey is Transcribed in Hollywood written by John Dawson.

Pow what's up everybody once again it's Brandon man Sean and today I'm going to do something a little different which is predict how much money the Tupac movie will make based on the fact that the marketing is not as good as it should be. Or am I doing this video in the first place? Well I actually tweeted out last week that I thought the marketing could be better and someone actually called my bluff of actually doing a video so I'm going to do it. I'm using straight out of Compton as a reference point because most people are going to do that anyway. These kind of movies get pushed in the same box for a variety of reasons but that's besides the point so let's start here. Now obviously straight out of Compton is beating all eyes on me in all areas and it's been out way longer so there's been way more time to you know build up but most of the followers and majority would be during the time leading up to the release and shortly thereafter but the Facebook Park that's where they're beating all eyes on me by far and large and the thing is if I had to choose a place to market a movie to a mass global audience especially Facebook would be the best place. Twitter for marketing kind of irrelevant wouldn't put too much into it Instagram could be gold but I would do it leveraging influencers a lot more so than you know just trying to build up your own fan page unless you do something interesting but I wouldn't get into those recommendations for now. So while we're on social media we might as well address the elephant in the room. Viral marketing one of the biggest parts of straight out of the competence campaign was their viral marketing their whole straight out of campaign that allowed people to insert whatever reference something personal to their life straight out of Decatur straight out of whatever your football or school is or straight out of whatever whatever whatever that was something that was just brilliant as far as a marketing plan goes it was viral primarily pushed through Facebook hence that big following which is why they were able to really get people talking for them all eyes on me does not really have much like that what they did do I found was a filter the filter that they did was basically all eyes on me somebody can insert their picture into it but in my opinion it's a little bit too intensive you would have to go to this website that I just found because I was literally researching to do this video and the fact that it's not native to a Facebook Instagram or some other social platform is very limiting because you want to go where people's behavior already is not go to some other site for them to get something then bring back to the sites that they actually care where the information is that they're already using like a Facebook or Instagram heavily and on top of that the idea of just having all eyes on me kind of the main logo and typeface of the movie with someone's picture on it it's a little lazy I get the whole play on words all eyes on me because people could basically use it for their own vanity they probably thought people will be taking pictures of themselves looking all fresh and on the way to the club or maybe working out looking swole or girls be taking some of those pictures like this but you haven't really seen that because it's a little too forced so a recommendation if you are gonna do the filter thing could be hey Demetrius ship junior already looks like Tupac you can even play on that and applauded everybody else let them look like Tupac by maybe actually doing some kind of weird filter on Snapchat where people actually end up looking like Tupac or that might be a little bit too intensive I don't know what the budget is for marketing but it might be a lot easier to have a bandana and nose ring and maybe even some tattoos in a filter for Snapchat of course when you allow the bandana and things like that you can also have our eyes on me somewhere on the side so when they share you have that branding as well people already have the behavior of taking Snapchat filters and then moving them over to Instagram and other places and sharing them once again you want to go where behavior is already taking place instead of creating a side website or something like that where you have to have people migrate use energy and marketing to push people to that website and then hope they go there just to do something else so anyway overall I give straight out of Compton and a plus in viral marketing and all eyes on me I'd probably give a D well not probably actually I just did but moving on now let's talk about novelty I remember I actually last year was able to see Demetrius and Benny boom talk at Snake Nation in Atlanta and I remember when Demetrius came in I was like yo this is weird because Tupac is just somebody I expected to never see in my life the dude was dead when I was like five or I don't know I can't remember how old I was of course intellectually I know Demetrius isn't Tupac but my mind almost couldn't compute the fact that he wasn't when I'm looking at him it's like I know Tupac is dead but damn that is Tupac right there that's definitely something they've leveraged by letting him get those interviews which is actually typical I'm wondering why Demetrius wasn't able to get on the view and Ellen or maybe he will after this video because there's still some days left leading to I'm doing this prematurely by the way you do have some ex-factors that could really help the Tupac movie which is one the actual Tupac legacy the myth the man it far supersedes NWA's legacy NWA yes they were completely impactful for their time but Tupac what he did as one man it just eclipsed that as a whole on a worldwide scale so people having that interest investing and intrigue in Tupac as a character could just overcome and make it null and void that some of the marketing didn't hit the target like it should have by the way an unexpected expected straight out of Compton I believe was actually Ice Cube really due to his long success in the movie industry and what he created and crossed over as a just character producers especially after Ride Along and things like that him having that brand that he had built and experiencing the industry I believe played a large part in the success of the movie in ways that I can't measure from the outside superficially and then another small factor worth mentioning is you did have Kendrick Lamar represent the resurgence of Compton in that time so the stars just seem to align and he did an interview with the straight out of Compton cast that got millions of views with Billboard maybe three million that I'm remembering correctly and then you add the fact that the city of Compton has this myth around it that had already been established in past decades those kind of things play a role as well which leads to another recommendation for all eyes on me if they could have found a way to pair the relevancy of Tupac with current culture because you have people like Lil Yachty right who represents a very real generation now who's like I don't really know Tupac like that I didn't really grow up on him he's not the goat to me it's just a reality as time moves on so there was a way to use interviews or some kind of content that actually leverage those influencers who were just old enough to understand the impact and influence of Tupac and bridge the gap between them and the other generation that looks up to them then that could be a powerful way to bridge the gap and get those new people to really move and because of that though the lack of that I mean I think it'll take a toll on the full potential of what the numbers could be particularly when you couple that with the lack of viral marketing that not only miss that younger generation but the viral marketing piece would have been the piece that actually extended over into the more pop culture you know the less connected culture that were really probably drawn in from that straight out of campaign and finally for a prediction Stratocompton did 60 million dollars in its opening weekend and 40 million dollars in foreign markets I believe that all eyes on me would probably only pull in 30 to 40 million dollars is opening weekend but at the end of the day I think it'll bring in more money from foreign markets at 50 to 60 million ultimate now for that final actual prediction I have to consider X factor number two word of mouth let's just say that this movie is really good that's gonna bring the movie legs on the tail end also although it might have a relatively low opening weekend it can make up for that on the back end just for being a darn good picture I'm really hoping it is by the way I actually hope I'm wrong in my lower prediction does this movie I'm going to see if my sister and my dad opening weekend I've seen less than five movies on opening week in my life but that's how much I really hope for the success of this movie care for two box legacy but just objectively speaking I'm going to have to max it out at a potential 150 to 175 million dollars ultimately in the box office I know that's kind of a range but I want to leave space for some factors and keep in mind that means this movie has to be really really good and have some great back-end marketing the marketing is not stopped here because I'm not gonna lie I do have a fear that it'll only hit around you know 120 130 million but they'll make their money back I think the money's gonna be made back regardless for sure to box too big of a legacy and people have said too many good things so far anyway that is what it is back to our regular music marketing scheduled
