Families today are raising kids in two worlds: the one at home and the one on their screens. We invited Dr. Myava Clark—author, advocate, respiratory therapist, and college professor—to help us connect those worlds with practical tools and real hope. She breaks down what neurodivergent truly means, why early testing matters, and how social and emotional learning can be the difference between a child shrinking from challenges or stepping into friendships where they’re celebrated.
Together, we unpack the realities of online risk without fear-mongering. From gaming platforms to group chats, kids are targeted by manipulative tactics that exploit loneliness and curiosity. Dr. Clark explains how CASEN prepares children before they ever log on—teaching them to recognize bullying, report it safely, and build confidence that travels with them into digital spaces. Just as important, parents get the same playbook so the learning continues at home. We also talk about the power of community through MOEK, a welcoming space for mothers, fathers, grandparents, and caregivers who need support, not judgment.
This conversation is a guide for anyone who wants both safety and dignity for their child. You’ll hear simple scripts for handling cyberbullying, clear examples of physical, verbal, social, and online harassment, and a reminder that digital footprints last longer than a moment. And we go deeper—into faith, surrender, and the permission to pace yourself. Dr. Clark’s message is steady and strong: you are enough, your child is enough, and different is not a defect. If you’re ready to trade worry for wisdom and isolation for community, you’ll feel seen and equipped.

Say hello to the audience, and I'm going to read your short bio after we say hello.
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.640
Hi, everyone, and thank you, Wanda, for having me.
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.120
It is a pleasure to be here with you today.
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.040
Yes, I had to chase this lady down.
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.680
I was like, okay, we need to talk about my podcast.
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:54.560
I love it because I also have a grandchild uh grandchild that's uh artistic ways.
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.200
He's 15, but they're so lovable when they get to, but then they have their moments.
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.560
They know it's because Nana loves them, but I don't take no listen.
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.159
You need to calm down.
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.519
And I'm gonna tell you what I told him.
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.080
I said, Listen, and this is when I was actually I just retired.
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:15.039
I said, Listen, I want you, whenever you get frustrated, I want you to take a deep breath and count the seven.
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.800
There was seven, then now it's up to 20, and say in the name of Jesus.
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.120
Oh he said, okay, Nana.
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.680
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.280
In the name of Genesis.
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.319
I said, Okay, you're still in the Bible.
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:30.479
That's cute.
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.159
But it actually calms him down.
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.360
And I said, just take a deep breath because things get they get it's antsy here, but but I'm so happy to have him.
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.080
He's 15.
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:38.400
You know what?
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.479
I he's at Southwind High School.
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.759
He loves school.
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:48.319
He was on the on winter break and he said, Nana, I can't wait to get back to school to see my friends and to go into the learning lab.
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.479
And I said, Boy, I said, You the first person that I know this can't wait to get back to school.
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.400
But yeah, but no, I I love him to death.
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.719
Yeah, he's 15, and I have another grandson that's 20.
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:58.159
We'll be 21 soon.
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.159
Let me talk about your bio here a little bit, and then we're gonna jump into some questions here.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:02.960
Okay, Dr.
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.319
Maeva Clark is a passionate advocate educator, and I think I mentioned this about the author of seven books.
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:09.840
No, I didn't mention seven books.
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:10.800
My goodness.
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:11.360
Okay.
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:27.919
A respiratory therapist and college professor, she co-founded Caseon, which is collaborative advancing for social emotional needs with her son to help neurodivergent children ages nine to 13 stay safe online by building social emotional skills.
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:37.199
She co-founded, co-founded the MOAC Mothers of Inspector Kids Parent Support Group, empowering families through education, advocacy, and hope.
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.439
You are a blessing, I tell you, because we need that a lot out here today, as far as what's going on in our schools.
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:44.479
Thank you for doing that.
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:45.840
I really appreciate that.
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.400
But I'm gonna get into some questions here.
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:53.039
And like I said, can I give my formal introduction because I want to explain something too?
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.479
Yes, please do.
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:55.280
Please do.
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.039
As you said, my name is Dr.
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:20.399
Maiva Clark, and I help parents and caregivers of neurodivergent children by providing emotional support and practical tools without burnout, while they guide their children toward meaningful friendships where they're celebrated and not just tolerated, all while teaching them about bullying to prevent them from being bullied.
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:37.519
And neurodivergent refers, it's an umbrella term that refers to the way an individual's brain processes information, behaves, or believes that is considered different than what is normal or neurotypical.
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:48.720
And some of the diagnoses that fall under neurodivergent is like autistic, ADHD, or dyslexia.
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:56.879
I just thought that was important so your audience would know when we throw out the term neurodivergent what we're referring to.
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.439
No, I'm so glad that you clarified that.
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.600
And thank you for really talking about that.
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.439
I really appreciate that because a lot of people don't understand what neurodivergent.
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.560
I had another guest on that actually she had her own business with neurodivergent, and she actually explained it too.
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.240
But I love how you really put it out there because people need to understand that things we don't know.
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.959
We don't know sometimes our children, we don't know until it's too late.
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:28.480
My grandson, he was he was a baby, and we knew something was wrong, but we didn't know, but then they didn't actually let us know until he was older.
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:38.800
He was in New York, and then he moved to New Jersey, then he moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and then finally North Carolina is when they really said what was going on.
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:40.639
It's a shame that they have to go through that.
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:41.439
No, thank you.
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:42.240
I appreciate you.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.560
No, the virgin is basically a newly embraced time.
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:52.319
And I really embraced it maybe two years ago.
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.680
A lot of people aren't, they just know special needs or but this is the term.
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:20.160
And really, my son has learning differences, and we were the ones that pushed for testing because he has two first cousins that are one was three months older and one was six weeks older, and we noticed some things weren't he wasn't able to do as well or on the same level.
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:35.279
We actually pushed against people's saying everything was fine, and we had him tested, and he started receiving services from early intervention when he was like, Two, I'm here to empower parents.
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:45.360
And if they think something, I encourage them to get them tested sooner rather than later, because what's what's the worst thing can happen?
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.560
Everything is fine.
00:06:46.879 --> 00:07:07.920
And so it doesn't hurt you to have them tested, but if everything isn't fine and you get help sooner rather than later, you get the opportunity to close that education gap sooner, and maybe depending on what it is, they may even grow out of it, or the gap is so closed that they catch up.
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:23.759
I always encourage people to get the testing, get the help, get the services, because prolonging it could widen the gap and take longer for things to get better, if you know.
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:31.839
I love it because you're right, because it took longer for my grandson to really get tested and oh, he's okay, he'll grow out of it.
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.720
But no, thank you for saying, and I appreciate what you're doing.
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:35.920
Now I wanted to ask you something.
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:42.079
Tell us about your journey and what led you to become a respiratory therapist and an author advocate.
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.120
Okay.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.079
I was a biology major in high school.
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.720
I went to college as a biology.
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.519
I was in the health sciences in high school, and I was a biology major and undergrad.
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:59.600
I always had a passion for patience and serving and helping.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:10.480
And I've been a therapist for over 30 years and working with children at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for over 25 years.
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.720
And I went back to school.
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.639
I went for my master's is in education, elementary education.
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:25.839
I thought that when I had children, I would be a school teacher so I could have my summers off with my children.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.040
And I chose elementary education.
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:37.039
God has a very good sense of humor, and he I think we make plans and he laughs.
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:37.600
Yeah.
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:50.720
But I never knew that in real time, the only reason why I picked elementary education is because I was intimidated by it teaching adults.
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:52.000
Right?
00:08:52.240 --> 00:09:15.120
I never knew in real time that was part of God's divine plan because when I was became pregnant with my son while I was in school, and when I had him and he had these developmental delays, everything that I learned from school, I was able to use and apply to help close the gap with him and his typically developing peers.
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:22.320
My children are just two children that I taught from my education.
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:32.799
And when I realized I went into it because of fear, I refuse to be held back by anyone, especially by myself.
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:43.039
And what I did is I became a college professor because I refused to be held back by the fear of teaching adults.
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.399
And so that's how I got there.
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:53.200
And as time progressed, my PhD is in higher education and leadership ed.
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.440
I have a dual concentration.
00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:10.639
And I think God orchestrated all of this to be to lead me to where I am now, and turning pain in the passion, and pain in the purpose.
00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:25.279
So everything I went through with my son with his learning disabilities and his developmental delays, and my daughter with her medical challenges, and my being a respiratory therapist at the children's hospital for 25 years.
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.759
I am a person who serves.
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.039
I love children, and I'm very compassionate and everything.
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.000
I think all of that led to where I am now.
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.720
And I just served but served differently.
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:39.519
Wow.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:45.360
I love it because nothing's better than a parent that knows exactly how to treat their children.
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.559
I love that you did that.
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.639
And but I tell you, I'm gonna tell you something, Dr.
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:49.120
Meyer.
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:52.000
I actually I hated biology.
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.759
I did not want to dissect nothing in high school.
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.679
I'm like, can I skip this class?
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:04.399
So I give you kudos to that because I don't even like needles.
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.279
When I went to school, I wanted to be a teacher, right?
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.440
And I think with my first year, I said, oh no, because I was only 16 when I went to college.
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.039
I went to I said, oh no, I don't want to be a teacher.
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:17.840
So social work was what I that's what God led me.
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:23.279
Because I'm gonna tell you, at 10 years old, I said I want to be a social worker.
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:27.279
Had no idea, like you said, God has a He has a sense of humor.
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:29.039
So I became a social worker.
00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:38.080
And even though I'm doing I do corporate and avid, but that social work in me is my passion, just like you said, your passion and the pain from what I went through was abused, actually, I created what I'm doing now.
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:40.720
Girl, we can talk for days here, but let me get going here.
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.720
What was an I think you already mentioned this?
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:47.039
What was there a defining moment that sparked your passion for advocacy and emotional wellness?
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.159
And I think you talked about that with your children, right?
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.200
Absolutely.
00:11:51.440 --> 00:12:03.120
Reflecting back on the years, there were times I felt like I was kicked down.
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:10.240
And by the time I tried to get to my knees, I was kicked again, one thing after another.
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:23.440
And that and when you are in a cycle where you're staying positive, you're doing the things, you're doing the course, but you can't seem to get emotionally ahead.
00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:33.440
I remember I was sitting outside the gym one day and I just started crying because it was overwhelming.
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:55.679
And I think that was when I said I realized God is allowing this to happen, and He's in control, and I realized that because He was in control, I would be okay, and it was something that I needed to get through.
00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:09.519
And then I decided to lean into the pain, and instead of fighting it or hiding from the pain, I would lean in and embrace the pain.
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:32.960
And what I found is leaning into the pain helped me to get through it faster because it was a level of surrender and acceptance, and I believe that whatever the Lord was trying to get out of me or through me, he was able to do because I surrendered and allowed it to happen.
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:46.240
I smile because my brother was a minister, died actually two years, January 11th, but he preached on you got to go through to understand why you're going through it to get through it.
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:53.200
I always change it around, but yeah, but we don't know why we go through situations, but it's for a reason to help us be stronger.
00:13:53.360 --> 00:14:04.399
And he helped you understand what you had to do by going through that pain and to that purpose, and it still hurt, but I'll tell you a couple things.
00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:10.080
Gratitude makes things that are not easy easier, yeah.
00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:40.159
So when you learn to be grateful even in the difficult things, you get through it better, and even though it was painful, I'd rather be in pain with Jesus, with me and carrying me, yeah, than to not have him because if I know the Lord and it was still difficult at times, yeah, where does the person who doesn't know him stand?
00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:56.559
And I would think of that, and you just have to be honest with yourself, you have to be, I believe, transparent and honest with yourself first, because God can't bless you for who you pretend to be, he can only bless you for who you really are.
00:14:57.440 --> 00:14:58.080
Amen.
00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:59.039
Amen.
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:00.960
And that does definitely make sense.
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:03.279
We have to continue to remind ourselves of that.
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:13.840
And when you trust and have faith, then he can turn things around that you think is difficult to be rewarded to be what you're doing today.
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.720
Just like with me, just like what I'm doing today, just like what you're doing today.
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:18.639
So that that is, I love it.
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:19.200
I love it.
00:15:19.279 --> 00:15:25.279
So why is addressing social and emotional needs just as important as academic or medical support for children?
00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:35.360
Because everything we do to connect in life, these soft skills, life skills, we need to be able to interact.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.120
We need to be able to be social.
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:45.840
We need to be able to manage our emotions, our the way we relate to people.
00:15:46.080 --> 00:16:02.799
So it's extremely important to teach our babies this from an early age, especially now in the midst of social media, in the midst of hiding behind screens, in the midst of children don't really go outside and play like they used to play.
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:13.279
When we were coming up, we rode bikes, we played jacks, we played the double dutch, we jumped rope, we hide and seek, we did all the things.
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:20.399
And with each of those, it was connection, it was human interaction and connection.
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:27.279
And you got in the little scuffles on the playground, but it taught you how to deal and relate to people.
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:38.399
And when we got into the workforce, hopefully the majority of us was able to relate because we had those issues on the playground that taught us.
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:50.159
And then when you are hiding and these kids don't have these interactions, social interactions, they grow up to be adults who can't relate and communicate and connect with people.
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:52.000
So it's very important.
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.200
And to me, that's equally as important.
00:16:55.360 --> 00:17:03.840
It doesn't matter how smart you are, you can't communicate with people because it's going to be a disconnect.
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:04.960
Absolutely.
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.279
And I love that you said that because it really makes a difference.
00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:10.720
So, what gaps do you see in the system that case and helps fill?
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:11.759
Oh, wow.
00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:26.480
What this excites me because uh a lot of parents are afraid to let allow their children to go online because of the unknown, because of the predators, because of the groups.
00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:37.920
I don't know if you've ever heard there's a group called 764, and it's considered the modern-day terrorists, and they terrorize children.
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:48.960
Their mission is to wreak havoc on kids, and they get into these gaming systems, pretend to be other kids.
00:17:49.440 --> 00:18:16.960
And with this group, it was on Good Morning in America in November, and what they do is they are extorting children, they're convincing them to take nude photos of themselves and send them pictures, and then they're blackmailing the families for it, and they also are convincing kids to do harm to themselves and even suicide.
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:32.400
And if you go on YouTube, there's one video in particular where a parent parents were on there, and this group convinced their 13-year-old son who suffered with mental health issues after COVID.
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.160
They convinced him to commit suicide and they watched him do it.
00:18:36.400 --> 00:18:37.039
Oh my god.
00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:53.440
And so where casing comes in, we started off with children 9 to 13, but as we were having different focus groups, they were they asked us if we would do something for younger children.
00:18:53.599 --> 00:18:57.599
So we actually have six to eight and nine to thirteen.
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:01.759
We teach the same information, but just on different skill level.
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:17.039
And what we do is we build the children's self-confidence and we uh help them identify what bullying is, if they're being bullied, if they witness bullying, or if they are in fact the bully.
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:21.519
We teach them how to report it and who to report it to.
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:28.000
And the point of casing is to get to the children before they ever get on social media.
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:33.759
So they know what to look out for, they're protected, they're confident, we build them up.
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:39.759
So when they do go into that space and they see it, they know how to report it, they talk about it.
00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:54.400
And I think what makes us the most unique is we empower parents and caregivers with the same information and tools so they can continue the conversation because we're there to support them, not to replace them.
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:55.680
That that's amazing.
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.759
I actually just went on the internet 764 group, and it I was like, wow.
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:01.359
This is very interesting.
00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:07.839
So, people, you listen to this, go on the 764 group or see how Casein can help your children.
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:18.720
Because you know that when kids get lonely and they don't have anybody to talk to and they want a friend, they go into these gaming things and they actually just get in entrance with this.
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.039
So this is something that Casey can help fill the gap of that.
00:20:23.119 --> 00:20:24.480
And I appreciate you talking about that.
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:34.079
We were talking about that at the gala as far as and your husband, as far as how because kids are so vulnerable these days, especially girls, just vulnerable.
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.720
And it's a lot of things going on with that, right?
00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:37.440
Yes.
00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:49.039
Another thing that we do is we teach them that when they're look when they're on social media, they see the highlighted reels of these other kids.
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:58.319
They see their best versions, and they compare their everyday normal lives to these highlighted reels, which aren't real.
00:20:58.559 --> 00:21:02.160
Somebody might have taken 20 selfies before they got the perfect one.
00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:06.079
And you think they're just perfect, but that's not realistic.
00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:09.920
And we teach them that, so they don't do the comparison.
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:13.359
We teach them that there are different types of bullying.
00:21:13.519 --> 00:21:26.160
Now, most people know about physical bullying, but they may not know that there's something called social bullying, where you spread rumors about somebody or you isolate them and you don't include them.
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:37.440
They don't know about verbal bullying, where you're teasing someone or you're laughing at them and be at the way they talk, as well as yelling at them or calling them names.
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:45.440
Obviously, the physical bullying, hitting, touching, kicking, and even damaging somebody's property is bullying.
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.000
Yeah.
00:21:46.319 --> 00:22:00.240
And then this again, the new thing, the cyberbullying, where you're being mean to someone, and we teach them don't say anything to anyone online that you wouldn't be willing to say in front of them.
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:12.720
Don't post anything online that you wouldn't be able to say and back up in person, and how what you post online can stay with you forever, even if it's deleted.
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:20.720
It can hurt their chances for getting into the college of their choice, getting into the the job, and it can come back and haunt them later in life.
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:23.759
So we teach them about having a good digital footprint.
00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:25.519
We teach all the things.
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:34.640
I I love that because they really need, and not just with case, everybody needs to learn that because even adults, because that affects you as you go on.
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:38.160
Whatever you put on social media, you're trying to get a job.
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:39.200
Even insurance.
00:22:39.599 --> 00:22:43.359
So even insurance, people look at your profile, you know, who you're associated with.
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.319
So that is so important.
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:45.519
So let's talk about girl.
00:22:45.599 --> 00:22:46.319
This time is going by.
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:50.000
I'm gonna have to have you on my show again because we got a lot to talk about here.
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:55.200
So, what inspired you to create uh Moak, the mothers of exceptional kids?
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.599
Okay, first I'll tell you what made me create Casein.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:00.960
I was gonna ask you that, Jeff.
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:02.240
What made me create Casein?
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:04.559
And then I'll feed it, it'll feed into Moak.
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:05.039
Okay.
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:11.679
00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:16.719
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:21.039
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:23.199
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.239
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:39.039
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:40.719
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:42.000
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:42.960
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:44.240
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:45.119
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:46.079
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:46.560
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:54.719
00:00:54.880 --> 00:01:05.200
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:06.319
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.040
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:08.799
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.879
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:23.200
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:24.000
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:34.159
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:35.280
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.120
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.640
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.120
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.040
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.680
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:54.560
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.200
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.560
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.159
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:05.519
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.080
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:15.039
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.800
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.120
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.680
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:25.280
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.319
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:30.479
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.159
00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:37.360
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.080
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:38.400
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.479
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.759
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:48.319
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.479
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.400
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.719
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:58.159
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.159
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:02.960
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:08.319
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:09.840
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:10.800
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:11.360
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:27.919
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:37.199
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:43.439
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:44.479
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:45.840
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.400
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:53.039
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:54.479
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:55.280
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:57.039
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:20.399
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:37.519
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:48.720
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:56.879
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.439
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:01.600
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.439
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:12.560
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.240
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.959
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:28.480
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:38.800
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:40.639
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:41.439
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:42.240
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.560
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:52.319
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:57.680
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:20.160
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:35.279
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:45.360
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.560
00:06:46.879 --> 00:07:07.920
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:23.759
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:31.839
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:34.720
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:35.920
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:42.079
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:43.120
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:46.079
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.720
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:53.519
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:59.600
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:10.480
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.720
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.639
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:25.839
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:29.040
00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:37.039
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:37.600
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:50.720
00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:52.000
00:08:52.240 --> 00:09:15.120
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:22.320
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:32.799
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:43.039
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.399
