It's at the Abibatsu Mangaji market, also known as the Kairu market in Oshodi. No one knows as we speak what the cost of the fire is, you know, but so much speculation so far, you know, reports say from what we've gathered, you know, from social media users that the fire went on for about one hour.  And another user on Twitter said she called 112, the emergency response number for, she called the number several times and she was put on hold for about 10 minutes. So that's the situation of things right now. The Kairu markets, you know, got engulfed in flames last night, and we hope to speak to, we hope to speak to, you know, people in the fire service about this. Okay, because it is really a very sad incident, you know, when we have fire outbreaks like that all over Lagos, but over time it's, what would have thought that the Lagos State Tem Fire Service and of course the Emergency Management Authority have actually been able to circumvent all of that and, you know, because over time, when there are outbreaks, you know, it has been forestowed over time in Lagos. All right, so we have the spokesman of the Lagos Fire Service with us to bring more clarity on the situation. Good morning, sir. Good morning, ma'am. Good to have you join us on the breakfast this morning. Please bring us up to speed regarding that market fire in Osho the last night. Okay, the market fire was actually reported to us by 2010. That's a 10 minutes past 8 p.m. last night. And then it's just as soon to from the nearest fire station there, that's at Bola Day inside the safety arena. So that was the first fire engine that turned out there. So two other fire engines also raised down there from Lupaidju as well as the headquarters from Alousa so that the management and more experienced hands can be on top of the situation as it escalates. Okay, what's the situation presently? Can you bring us up to speed specifically as per what we have in hand, whether any casualty and the severity of the fire? Can you just tell us more? Okay, there is no casualty. There is no casualty and no injured persons that we rescued at this scene. But fire of this magnitude, it should be understood that everything within the fire premises at the scene is combustible because the stock deals in there are textile materials. So and they are very free-burning materials and it's easily and you know the structure of the fire itself, it's also a makeshift structure which is built with iron rod and tapolins. And when you talk of tapolins, it's also a hard textile material which is also free-burning. So all this aid the quick spread of the fire.  Alright, Mr Shakiru, you mentioned that the fire started at around 10 minutes past 8pm and that the fire service is very close to that market. So how long did it take for the fire service to put out that fire? It takes about two hours because as at 10 o'clock the fire was completely under control. So definitely we have some pocket of fire that we need to put out because when a fire is no more spreading, you have caught the spread and you've already entangled the fire that it cannot do any harm or damage, then definitely the fire is within your control and definitely you need to stalk about. Like I said, these free-burning materials, they are piles of materials as in textile materials, so you still need to get deep down into them to make sure they are soaked away with enough water so that the fire will not reignite or spread further to where you have caught it. Alright, Mr Shakiru, specifically now can you tell us exactly what the immediate cause of the fire was and then again what are you doing in terms of preventing reoccurrence? What are you doing in terms of enlightenment on the traders around that axis, knowing that what they're dealing is actually combustible? The cause of the fire is still being investigated because when fire happens, especially at night, the very first thing to do is just put out the fire, gather some information and probably do some investigation and that seems to see whether you can unravel the cause, but preliminary now we have not been able to pin down the cause of the fire because that investigation is still ongoing and as soon as we don't, we will let the public know. But if the market authorities are playing by the rules, I think some of these fire will actually will not be witnessed because the rule is at 6 p.m., the market is supposed to close and nobody should be staying back and if you are closing up for the day, your business, whether at the office or you are living your home or you are living your shops premises, you are expected to put off all electronics, all electrical installations and it will not be enough to just put them out.  An electric city will not absorb anything that is not put on its current, that's why it is advisable to also switch off and unplug your socket and you don't leave any electronics or electrical gadgets unattended to you. All right, Mr Shakiru, do you have details as to how many shops are in that market and the level of damage caused? Well, several damage, you see, because these shops are, they are changed shops and then we are trying to count them, but we were not able to pin down the number last night, but these shops span at about, in the premises of about two acres, and when you say two acres, that's about six plots, right? So it's really, really expanded, but definitely we are going to ascertain the numbers of the shop because we are working with the market authority. We are with the Baba Lodja last night and then they are cooperating to see how we can unravel all the nuances behind the surge of the fire. All right, Mr Shakiru, the spokesman, Lagos State Fire Service, thank you very much for joining us this morning on the breakfast. You are most welcome. All right, so this conversation is still ongoing. I think we'll have a guest join us much later to talk about this situation. It's something we've seen, you know, one time too many market fires here and there, you know, conspiracy theories will come up, people say this definitely did not just happen by itself. You know, we heard Mr Shakiru here say, even though they're yet to unravel the cause of the fire, but he is implying that possibly it's an electric surge that might have caused this fire. Most of the times that's what we usually see around shops and of course people who do businesses. You know, most times, some of them, specifically some of them even who have like fridges who need to sell cold drinks, you know, the next day, sometimes you find that they leave their refrigerators, their freezers on in over the night, because they feel they should be part of that particular time, so they could actually store enough, you know, cold drinks to sell for the next day.  Indeed, when our next guest joins us, lots of questions I need to ask, because we heard reports on social media about people, you know, going into loot the shops that were, you know, so, so terrible that you have opportunities to take advantage of situations like this. Also, questions I need to ask regarding the crowd. Why is it that our mechanism for controlling such incidents is just poor in my assessment, because you find a fire, such a huge fire, and then people gathering in their numbers.  Yes, it could just be affected negatively. The thing is that in as much as some people may want to play, you know, the good Samaritan here, others are actually going there for a selfish reason, but they should understand that they will need to be able to sort out the issue of crowd control and allow the, you know, emergency responders that do their job, because if you try to, you know, help in your own way, you might be actually putting yourself in harm's way. In harm's way. Indeed, Justin, I do agree with you. Sadly, we can't bring our next guest, but Mr. Amadeus Shakiru, did, you know, give us the basics regarding that market fire, we'll stay on top of the matter, and bring you more updates in our subsequent news bulletins on Plus TV Africa.


Let us have a look at one of the important diagrams that is drawn by a designer called as the V N diagram. The contents of this talk are as follows. We will first look at the definition of a V N diagram. We have a look at the load factors acting on an aircraft. We identify what are the upper limits on these load factors. We look at the concept of corner speed and then the operational V N diagram. Then we look at the effect of gust loading. You see how the regulatory bodies like FAR-23 define a V N gust loading for V N diagram and finally, what is the limit combined envelope. Here is a V N diagram as per the old specifications called as the AP 970. This is for the Maruth aircraft designed in India by Hindustan aeronautics limited. It was a transonic bomber aircraft. So, the V N diagram is essentially a graph of aircraft velocity V along the x axis and load factor NZ along the y axis. Let us see what is the meaning of load factor. A typical aircraft has 3 axes in which we define all the forces and moments. You have the vertical or the z direction in which the lift normally acts. We have the longitudinal or the x direction in which the thrust normally acts and we have the lateral or the y direction in which the side force NY normally acts and the weight of the aircraft acts vertically below along the z axis. So, load factor is nothing but the ratio of the net force acting in a particular direction and the aircraft weight force upon W where F can be the force in the vertical longitudinal or lateral direction and therefore, we have 3 load factors and x and y and NZ typically defined. Now, the V N diagram is applicable only for the symmetrical maneuvers in the vertical planes. What is the reason? The reason is that the highest value, the highest numerical value of the load factor amongst N x, N y and N z normally happens to be for NZ and also when the aircraft does symmetrical maneuvers in the vertical plane then the values of N x and N y remain constant. Hence, since it is the largest load acting and also because in symmetrical maneuvers, the other 2 values remain constant. We draw the V N diagram for the vertical plane. The numerical values of N x and N y are small and they cannot lead to structural damage to the aircraft as compared to NZ and therefore, we draw the diagram mostly for only NZ versus the velocity. Now, it can be shown that the vertical load factor NZ will be proportional to the square of the velocity and the angle of attack. Let us see how this can be shown. So, the ratio NZ would be nothing but ratio of lift over weight. Now, the lift is proportional to half rho V square S into CL and if we replace CL by the angle of attack and the lift curve slope, you get S into AOA into A naught. So, now if you take a ratio, so you will find that it will be proportional to V square and also proportional to angle of attack A because for a given altitude rho infinity S and A naught remain constant. Now, what it means is if the rho is changing that means if the aircraft is operating at many altitudes then we need to draw a different V N diagram for every possible altitude because NZ is proportional to rho and V square. So, now how do we eliminate this problem and how do we manage to draw the V N diagram only for one particular value. We do this by using equivalent air speed in the calculations as against the true air speed which the pitot static tube normally determines. So, this figure shows the working of the pitot static tube. It shows that the tube has got a hole in the front which measures the total pressure and there are holes on the side which give you the static pressure. So, when you calculate the difference between the total and the static pressure that is proportional to the square of the velocity. Hence, V infinity will be root of 2 into P 0 minus P infinity by rho. So, this is how we can measure the velocity in a pitot static tube. But the question is that the speed on the air speed indicator is the indicated air speed. Now, that is proportional to the dynamic pressure which the air is facing is not the true air speed. But if you take into account the errors in the calibrated instruments then we get what is called as the calibrated air speed and also the position. Now, if you take care of the compressibility effects then we get what is called as the equivalent air speed. That is the speed at which the aircraft would be flying at sea level under the same conditions of pressure and temperature which the aircraft is facing during flight. So, by using equivalent air speed the variable rho can be eliminated. So, therefore, nz is proportional to angle of attack and nz proportional to only V equivalent square. So, this is the way in which we can eliminate this problem. Now, let us have a look at the factors that govern the upper limit of load factor nz. The upper limit is decided based on the structural strength of the aircraft. High nz means you have to design the aircraft to bear higher loads. But we have to also keep in mind that an aircraft will typically be carrying passengers and crew members. So, their safety and comfort also must be kept in mind. Because you might be able to take care of the structural loading that the aircraft is expected to bear but human beings have a limit. So, there is a table which lists the typical limits on the load factors depending on the aircraft time. So, if you have a general aviation aircraft under categories of normal utility and aerobatic you have an increasing value of the positive load factor. In the case of a normal aircraft the load factor varies from 2.5 to 3.8 using a standard formula. If it is a home built aircraft the maximum value is normally kept at 5. For transport aircraft where we have passengers is generally kept between 3 and 4. For bombers because bombers are not expected to do very heavy maneuvers it is 3. But a tactical bomber may need to do some activity and some maneuvers therefore it is 4. But for a fighter aircraft depending on the level of the fighter and depending on the kind of maneuvers which it is expected to do the maximum load factor varies from 6.5 to even up to 9. Beyond 9 it is not specified because it would lead to a severe problem with the pilot on board. Notice the upper limits on the negative load factors are also provided and these limits generally are approximately half of the limit on the positive load factors. So, here is a VN diagram as per FAR part 23 regulations. We notice that there is a curve O to A, O being the origin with zero velocity and zero load factor. From O to A we have a parabolic curve and this parabolic curve corresponds to the stalling angle of aircraft because at this along this curve the aircraft has got the highest lift coefficient or the lowest speed. Vs corresponds to 1g stall speed or level flight stall speed. So, the load factor is 1 and the speed is equal to Vs the stalling speed. The point Va corresponds to a speed called as a corner speed. Notice that point A corresponds to the highest vertical load factor and also the highest possible speed Va. So, the corner speed is a very interesting value. Point A on the graph is important because it corresponds to the highest perceivable load factor as well as the maximum lift coefficient. So, what are the implications of this? The implications is that since you have the highest load factor you will have and also the maximum lift coefficient you will have the smallest turn radius and the fastest turn rate. So, this particular speed becomes very important when you are comparing to competitive aircraft. The one which has a lower value of corner velocity is better because it is able to maneuver or pull the same amount of g at a lower speed and hence it is more maneuverable. So, the speed corresponding to this aircraft is called as the design maneuver speed or the corner speed that is this value Va. And then you have lines A, D and B, E which are externally imposed limits on the vertical positive and the vertical negative value of the load factor as prescribed in the table which we just now saw. Now, this VC corresponds to the cruising speed, the design cruising speed which is a function of the wing loading of the aircraft W by S. And there is also another speed called as the design diving speed. This refers to the maximum dynamic pressure that the aircraft can withstand before it can expect it to undergo structural failure and that particular speed generally is 20 percent or so higher than the maximum or design cruise speed. So, now certain areas of the VN diagram are not operationally possible leading to the operational VN diagram. This is the VN diagram as per aviation publication 970. So, notice that in some airworthiness regulations you are provided cuts or concessional zones in the right top and the right bottom area of the VN diagram because flight in these areas are not normally permitted because of the power plant limitations as we will see very shortly. Now, let us see what happens when the pilot knowingly or unknowingly exceeds the limits of the load factor. Now, first question is is it possible for you to fly in this region on the left of the line OA? The answer is no, you cannot because the moment you go into that region since you are going to be at a speed lower than V stall then you will actually not be able to fly level. So, you will have to come back. So, sustained flight is not possible in this area. So, the aircraft cannot be flown in the area on the left of curve OA and curve OB. What about to the right of the region of the line DF? What about in this region? No, in this region we cannot go because you have already exceeded the speed which the power plant can provide you. You will not be able to go in that area generally because of the power plant limitations. So, can you fly in the regions above AD? That means can you fly in this region? Can you fly in this region or in this region? Yes, flight is possible in this region. Let us see how it is possible. So, in this region if you have enough engine power and enough control power you might be able to fly. But the problem is that you will exceed the permitted load factor. So, there is a chance that you will either deform the structure or you may even lead to catastrophic failure plus the passengers will have a serious problem. So, during a dive pullout maneuver when the aircraft is put into a dive and then brought up symmetrically it is quite possible for the aircraft to exceed this particular value of load factor. And there have been instances when there have been failures of the wing during a dive pullout. So, therefore, this is a dangerous maneuver and it is called as a checked maneuver. Pilot has to be cautious that the limits specified on the structure are not exceeded during this particular maneuver. Thanks for your attention. We will now move to the next section.


That's scary. Not a problem. We have RGB plants. I know you like caulk. I'm very excited and it's time for CES. I have been wanting to come to CES my entire life.  I've always wanted to come to this to big industry event. It's very buttoned up. It's gonna be different than most convention streams. We're gonna go, we're gonna look at a lot of new tech. We're gonna check out the razor booth here in a few minutes. We'll start with right over here. A new colorway for our first ever wireless PS5 and PC controller. There's switches on the back where you can change between using a PC or a PlayStation and wired or wireless. Okay, I have my base PlayStation controllers and they don't charge unless they're plugged into the PS5. I don't know why.  We make those too. Yeah, but I want a reason to have this. Well, I know a guy. I want this one though. All right. So have you checked out Razor Edge at all? No, the, I have not. Well, this is my baby. Okay. I've been working on this guy for the better part of the year. What was the one before this call? Well, this is the Kishi. The Kishi, that's right. The Kishi is the controller that's trapped to this. This is the Razor Edge. It's a, this is our- Oh wait, this is a phone. Not a phone, not a phone. I'm gonna say not a phone a million times. It's not a phone. It's not a phone. This is an ultimate Android gaming handheld. This is an ultimate Android gaming handheld. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not a phone. Not a phone. Not a phone. I'm gonna drop a lot of specs on you real fast. And you're like the only person I trust to keep up. That shot's fired at you, Chad. Chad, take notes, ready. All right, quiz on this. So, 6.8 inch AMOLED FHD plus display going at a hundred and twenty four hertz refresh rate. It's got Gorilla Glass 5, 288 hertz sampling rate. That's the screen. That is a best in class screen. It's better than my monitor. It is the best, it is the best screen period available on any dedicated gaming handheld. This starts at 399.99, so half the price for the exact- Wait, this is only $399? Yeah. For the Wi-Fi version, yeah. How? What else we got? Oh, oh my God, this guy right here.  CES is about showcasing new technology. Yeah. Like never before. So, we always have concept products. Okay. This year's no different. This is Carol. So, yeah, imagine you have 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound system. Those two speakers right there, those two 40 millimeter drivers function as the fact to challenge. So, you have near-field surround sound.   We have a demo in the back there. I'm gonna make you do it, it's pretty awesome. We got two more things to show you.  We have RGB plants. And what? You see the RGB plants? Oh. Yeah. Yeah, so you can replace these. You want to see laptops or you want to see VR? Yes, laptops and VR. But I definitely want to see laptops. Love it. Wait, is there an extra laptop here for us to bring one? This is what you do. You put it on the spot and you ask them on camera. They're not out yet. I can't give you ones that aren't out. If they were out. The Blade 18. We've never made an 18 inch chassis before. 18 inch, okay. Doesn't look gigantic, doesn't look too big. I want the biggest, baddest, anything that I get. So, I'm from Texas, bigger is better. So, lay it on me, you know. What's interesting about this? It has a 4090. Yes.  My 4090 at home is bigger than mine. God, it's even bigger. This is, these scales all the way up to 4090. So, what makes this 18 so cool? Well, yes, obviously. We're gonna make like an S-Fan wig and put it on and be like, this is S-Fan's 18. Nice. What makes the... Illegal. Anyway, didn't you... I still have two hours, sorry. You're gonna get an HR call about me. Yeah, I'm a bad. Hey, I said it, not will, you're good. Basically, you change whether you want creator or gamer mode in Synapse, and then it does a quick restart of the system in order to natively be in that system. Basically, honestly, a restart takes like 15 seconds. Yeah, that's sick. I mean, it's just literally just... Yeah. Well, you're changing like what you want to do with the system. So, it's a dual function system that gives you the way more options than you have other games. That's bad. That's sick. See, that's... Well, here's the thing, I always go to conventions. I need to have a laptop. Like, I'll bring it, and I'm like, I'm not using it or whatever, like I'll bring it and... Like, I mean, I'll just be honest, weighing heavy on my heart. End of the season is this week, and I'm out of town for a week, and I haven't been pushing rating. I don't have it in me.  All I gotta say is, wow. I know, wow. Wow, classic. But, if I had this... I gotta run, though. Okay. Dude, you got to see everything in the booth. Huge hearts in the chat for Razor, Ogana Sub, getting us at CES. So, thank you. Really, really happy. I mean, I tweeted about this earlier, but like, literally coming to CES is like a dream come true for me. Hi. Absolutely. I saw you. We're the ones that made the VR machine.  Oh, nice. That's your guys coming. Sick. It's super comfy. Yeah. Super, super comfy. Sure. Can you send me the headset, too? Lots of gaming fans.  Yeah. I didn't have a chance to try it. No, I didn't try it. I didn't have a chance to try it on you. Okay. Yeah, yeah, thanks. I appreciate it. Thank you. Yeah. Cool. The stream's CES over here. So, what do you guys do? Well, you didn't display out tonight. Oh, you didn't display out, okay. Cool. 30 seconds. Discussing. Yeah, I learned. Yeah, sure thing, dude. Thank you, man. Yeah, of course, dude. What did I say? That's the first one of the day. I don't think we'll get a lot of those. What is the Arbion? What is this? VR social media? This content is just decoration by ourselves. Hey, guys. Hi, how are you doing? How's it going? So, what is it that you guys are doing? Yeah, let me introduce myself. Our service name is Arbion. Arbion is the base for your augmented reality social networking app service.

Oh, my gosh. It's really Einstein. Thank you. It's our Einstein. Let's try to focus these pictures and scan this button. Hey, I'm sorry. I'm sorry Einstein to touch your face. Caulking, that's cool. That's actually sick. Anyway, I'll let you go. But I appreciate it. I appreciate the demo. Okay. Have a nice day. Let me give you my name. Oh, yeah. I am Justin Lee. I'm working as a CBO in the Army. Oh, that's cool. Okay, nice. Well, have a nice day. Okay, bye. Bye. Wait, was that cool?  I'll try. Can I try? Can I try? Oh, frick. Am I going to fit in this? This is Korean size. I'm a little bit bigger than most Koreans. Oh, the quarterback for the Dolphins after that. That's crazy. That was wild. What the heck? That was insane, dude. I know I wasn't moving that fast, but I would feel like my stomach churned like I was moving that fast. That was crazy. Dude, oh my gosh. The future. The future of entertainment. You guys want to go outside and play soccer? No. It's football. No, that's not what we're talking about. No, they're just going to do this. And they'll play in their brints. This looks nuts. When is this coming out? 2026. 2026? Art Mirror. This is our new production. We have a series of smart mirrors. In front of this, you can do some sports. Like football? Yeah, we suggest you do some indoor, have this one, which can be installed in front of the holding shelf. Okay. It is a beauty mirror. Yes. It's even more beautiful and you can check your emails. Yes. It can recommend you what kind of makeup suits you well. Oh, really? Yes. So this will make you prettier? Yes. I need that. Oh, look, I have so much makeup on. Yes. Wait, so you don't even have to do makeup anymore. You just take a picture and say I'm looking at makeup and then you send it on Instagram. Yeah, how much does the mirror cost? This one, $500. $500. $500? Yes. Cool. See, I like the idea of these ultra-wide screens. Chad, should I get good at FPS games? How's that even fair? You're dying two shots, how's that even realistic? What the? Guys, do you think I could get good at FPS games? Maybe if I try, maybe I want to. Guys, battery's almost down on the backpack. I think we're going to go ahead and call it now. We will be back at CES tomorrow. Tomorrow we want to check out Samsung, Govee booth. We'll go hit up Linus Media. We have the Tron bike. There's a lot of stuff that we still haven't done yet. We will do this for either one or two more days. Probably, I have not decided. There's a small chance that we do it for three more days.

Hello guys, this is Christian from soonflight.com Today we are doing a video to learn how to tread water, how to stabilize yourself from the surface He has been asked many times. So it's basically pretty simple Remember that your action is very important.  If you push up, you will go down So it's always about a reaction. So let's go in the pool and see what you can do All right So I'm here. I can touch the ground to learn how to tread water First learn how to feel the water resistance, your actions. If you fall Push back with your hands, you will move back If you want to go this way, you have to push this way. If you want to leave back, you leave back here So try to go slowly in the water, touching the ground and see the water is about your head over there The more you go up, the more your body will have to go down So it's very hard to stay very high So try to stay near to the water, your mouth near to the surface With your hand, you can start to have a movement in the water to Pull the water both sides to make sure your body will stabilize up Remember if you push up, you will move up, then after you will fall. Okay? So try to avoid your big movements. Basically, you just maintain What I'm doing with my legs, I do nothing. I'm just sitting right now You can see my legs are just under sitting position So with my hand, I'm starting to just move like this in the water To make sure I feel the power of the water in my hand. With your legs You can kick as well like a frog kick, like a breaststroke kick You can kick like this Or you can alternate your kick both legs together One kick, two kick, one by one Your hands, moving one by one, pushing the water with your hands Pushing the water with your feet one by one To show you how it looks like, if you are going here Follow me with the camera, you all You have to kick with your legs like this, side of water Non-stop Push Push Push Push, non-stop.  Need to fight Go it easy. I push with my legs one by one See and I can move. My hand to stabilize my body, my legs to make sure I'm not drowning Basically, remember your body is floating so you cannot go down You will go down only if you try to go very high, so stay your body near to the surface Smooth movement, keep the water resistance in your hand Push with your legs one after one and you will start to float. Start where it's shallow When you feel comfortable the way it's shallow and you don't need to touch the ground and you can go where it's deeper See my movement? Can you look at my feet with the camera? There If you need more tips, you can go on this website www.suitoflight.com and Suggest your request over there. Thank you


Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to Unizor Education. Well, you know this entire course of advanced mathematics for teenagers is actually about teaching how to solve problems. And that's why it's very important before you listen to a lecture like this, which is devoted to solving problems, you really have to try to solve them yourself. So go to Unizor.com. This lecture contains notes. Notes contain answers or hints, maybe, and try to solve these problems yourself. If you want to learn how to solve problems, you have to, guess what, solve problems, right? All right, so let's solve problems on combinatorics and they have four relatively easy problems. So let's just start. Number one. We have certain identity which I would like to prove. This is a very simple identity. It's true for any k and n where these expressions make sense, which basically means that k and n are supposed to be natural numbers and k should not exceed n. Actually, k can be zero as well. All right, so how can we prove it? Well, it's easy and it's basically a direct consequence of the formula which expresses the number of combinations from n by k or from anything else. So let's just do it. The first one is n factorial divided by k factorial and n minus k factorial. Second one is n factorial divided by k minus 1 factorial and n minus k plus 1 factorial. Well, we obviously need the common denominator. Now what's the common denominator in this case? I would like to have k. Now this is k minus 1 factorial, so I have to multiply this by k in the numerator and denominator and if k minus 1 factorial multiplied by k, it would be k factorial, right? Now here, this is 1 greater than this.  So my common denominator is this. Now this should be multiplied by n minus k plus 1 and this should be multiplied by just k. Equals n factorial times n minus k plus 1 plus k would be n plus 1, right? Equals. What is n factorial multiplied by n plus 1? That's n plus 1 factorial, right? Here I have k factorial and n plus 1 minus k, let me just change the order. n plus 1 minus k factorial. And what is this? That's exactly what it is. It's n plus 1 factorial, k factorial and n plus 1 minus k factorial. That's the end of it, very simple. All you have to know is just how to express the number of combinations in the factorial form. Number two, we have to simplify the following expression, which is 1 times p1 plus 2 times p2 plus etc plus n times pn. n is number of permutations, which is n factorial, right? Okay, how can we simplify that? Well, whenever you have this type of a series which you have to summarize, most likely, and you just have to probably remember this as a technique, each particular member can be represented as a difference between two members, a minus b, c minus b, etc. And then something would just cancel out, except the last and the first one. So that's the technique. Now, what is this type of a technique in this particular case? Well, let's just think about it. pk and k. I can always put it as k, this is k factorial, right?  Minus 1 times k, this is k factorial. So that's basically the representation I was looking for. That k times the number of permutations of k is equal to the difference between k plus 1 factorial and k factorial. Alright, so that's very easy then, because then what we can do is, I can write 1 times p1 would be 2 factorial minus 1 factorial, right? 1 is equal to k is equal to 1, so it's 2 factorial minus 1 factorial. Plus 3 factorial minus 2 factorial plus, etc. And the last one would be n plus 1 factorial minus n factorial. So, what's left? This is cancelling out. And what's left is n minus 1 factorial minus 1 factorial, which is 1. So that's the result. So this sum is equal to n plus 1 factorial minus 1. As you see, these are easy problems. And they immediately follow from the representation of the correspondingly combinations or permutations. And you just have to make a very, very small guess in the last problem. And actually, if you go to the notes on unizord.com for this lecture, I specify this particular approach as a hint for you. It's not a complete solution, but hint I do give. All right, next. Something similar from k to n. k times cnk equals to n times 2 to the n minus 1. Well, that seems to be a little bit more difficult. So you have to prove this formula. So k is a summation index, which basically means you start from 1. So it's 1 times c from n to 1 plus 2 times c from n to 2 plus et cetera plus n times c from n to n. All right, how can we deal with this thing? Well, basically, the idea is, well, similar, but in this case instead of converging this into some kind of a difference between two things, each one. I have to do something else, but basically I have to drive to something familiar. Now, I am not familiar with this sum, but I am familiar with this sum. Now, during the previous lecture, when I was talking about the problem of two mailmen which are supposed to deliver n different letters to n different addresses, and I was asking how can they distribute the job among them. I have suggested two different approaches. One is the following. We take the first letter and we have two choices. Give it to the first mailman to deliver or to the second one. So we have two choices. Then let's take the second letter out of n. We also have two choices, to the first or to the second, et cetera, et cetera. So we have n different letters and n different times, we have to repeat two choices. Two times two, et cetera, times two, which is two to the nth degree, right? Power of n. On the other hand, you can distribute this job differently. Well, the first mailman can take either zero letters from this n to deliver or one letter or two letters, et cetera, et cetera. So let's just count them one by one. How many different ways for this particular first mailman are there for him to take just zero letters to deliver? So all other n letters would be for the second mailman. Well, it's obviously number of combinations from n by zero. Now, how many different ways for the first man are there? So he is supposed to deliver only one letter. Well, that's how many, number of combinations from n to one, et cetera, et cetera. And the last, how many different combinations are for him to deliver all n letters so nothing would be left to the second mailman? This how many? So if you will summarize them together, you are supposed to get exactly the same number of combinations. So that's how by using two different logics to approach the same problem, I came up with this particular identity. On another hand, this is actually a manifestation of the binomial, of the Newton's binomial, which was addressed during my lectures on induction. All right, so I know this, but this is different. So the question is, can I somehow convert this into this? Well, actually, let's just think about it. What is k times c and k? Well, it's k times n factorial divided by k factorial and n minus k factorial. Right? All right, fine. But now this is k, this is k factorial. k factorial has the last member in the product of all numbers from 1 to k as a k. So we can reduce it by k. So it would be n factorial divided by k minus 1 factorial times n minus k. Now, n minus k is a difference between n and k, but it's also a difference between n minus 1 and k minus 1, right? So I can rewrite it as n times n minus 1 factorial divided by k minus 1 and n minus k factorial, which is equal to n times c from n minus 1 by k minus 1. Right? n minus 1 factorial k, this is factorial, k minus 1 factorial and the difference between them, which is n minus k. So what I have to compare this and this? So I can convert any member of this into this. Why this is better? Because these k are different and this n is a constant regardless of the number k. So what I can say is the following. I can wipe out this. I can put here this particular identity. Actually, maybe it would be pedagogically correct for me to introduce this as a separate problem. Just prove this particular identity and then introduce this problem where it can be used. Okay, in any case, what does it mean? Well, let's start from the beginning. This is k is equal to 1, so I have n c from n minus 1 to 0, right? k is equal to 1, so 1 minus 1 is 0, plus this, k is equal to 2. So it's n again, c from n minus 1 to 1, plus, etc. The last one would be n, c from n minus 1 to n minus 1. k is equal to n, right? In this particular case. So if you sum it up, it will be n times... Now look at this thing. What's the difference between this and this? The only difference is that this is n minus 1, which means this is n minus 1 here. And that's exactly what's necessary to prove. All right? That's it. All right, so the last problem... Okay, you have ten combinatorial problems to solve. Well, we solved four. Anyway, for instance, you have ten, but we solved it in one day, right? So our problems. You have to solve ten problems in three days. Now, the condition is there should be no idle days. So at least one problem should be solved in any of these three days. Well, the question is how can these ten problems be distributed among three different days in such a way that there are no idle days? No days when you solve no problems, right? Okay, that's actually quite easy. Look at this. These are ten problems. If you want to separate these ten objects into three different categories in such a way that there are no empty categories, what you have to do is you have to use these gaps. So you have ten objects. So you have nine gaps. You have to pick basically any two gaps. Let's say this one and this one. Now, these two gaps are separating my ten objects into three different groups. And since you are choosing only these gaps in between the objects, you are assured that there will be no categories with no objects among them, because you are using only these gaps. So you have nine gaps and you have to choose two of these. So the answer is number of combinations from nine to two, which is nine times eight divided by one times two, which is thirty-six. All right, that's the last problem. And as usually, I recommend you to go to the notes for this lecture on Unisor.com. And you have these problems in the notes. Try to solve them just yourself completely. Check the answers and if you are satisfied, that's great. It's very important to start and if you cannot solve it in the beginning to finish this particular work with solving the problems yourself. That's very important. Now, in addition, as I'm sure most of you are aware, if you are a registered student, which you can register just with your ID, basically, and password, then you can take exams. Exams are also very important. Not every topic has exams. For instance, for combinatorics, I didn't really put yet exams, but I will. And to do that, you have to really have registered yourself. And there should be another person who is like a supervisor or a parent who also registers as a supervisor or a parent. And that person is supposed to enroll you into a certain topic or maybe on the top you can be enrolled in the whole course of advanced mathematics. Then whatever you are enrolled in will be presented to you in the same basically order as you are having this information on the open side of the Unisor.com. But it actually will be available with exams which you can take and it's a very good way to basically check yourself. Well, that's it for today. Thank you very much and good luck.

would say it depends. So I do believe that most airmen understand the linkage between what they do tactically. We discussed earlier whether they know it as doctrine, so they may not know it as formally as doctrine, but I do believe most airmen understand that what they do tactically every day, how it links into the greater operational mission of whatever wing or whatever unit they're assigned to. And oh by the way I think it's the responsibility of leaders. So from flight commanders to flight chiefs to chiefs and squadron commanders on up to help airmen understand hey this is why we do what we do and be realistic and and not patronizing with airmen.  No, no it's actually not right so you have to be realistic in certainly the further an airman is away from you know flight line operations the more challenging it is to get them to understand how their tactical doctrine fits into the larger operational picture but I think it can be done and and that means that we as all of us as leaders have to be you know educated about what doctrine is and what it's not and and understand ourselves how it ties how what we do every day ties into the larger operational mission so that we can teach it to our youngest airman.


Hey, this is Mary here with Steve Maeda of the 21 convention. He's spoken the most times out of anybody came all the way here from Austin, Texas, Austin, Texas. Yes. Yeah, so I had a couple questions that I think you might have covered in your speech But just real condensed question. I really want to know about meditation because it seems like anybody exactly He's got a problem with the meditation. He's like I'm not an expert. I don't know what I'm doing It seems like it's it's the same thing as diet if you see somebody who's lost 10 pounds everybody's like How'd you do it? I want to know how to do it. It's the same thing anybody who's meditated You're like, I have no idea how to do that. I tried it a couple times. I can't get it How do you do it? So tell us how how would you do it? The probably the easiest and simplest thing is to realize the main goals to clear your mind now again There's people who I definitely look up to and follow for meditation But clear your mind and to exist and determine who you really are So one way to do that, which is really simple is sit for five minutes and try and try and just let your thoughts pass That actually didn't work for me Visualization Is a great thing to do. There's all sorts of different meditation books when I was a kid I remember there's a book by Shakti Gawain Called creative visualizations, which is a real simple one to do. There's also a guy Rob who's a part of my programs Rob Millet who's a Hypnotherapist who created a visualization meditation program that I kind of do now too So that is what I find easiest to make work. Okay, that's yeah, that's fantastic I have to try some of that So you talked about a lot about social you seem to be a very social person If somebody doesn't feel like they're that social a little bit more of an introvert How do they start to become more social like consciously these start to become more social man This is something which is gonna sound kind of weird. I've actually seen people make bigger progress Outside of the whole pickup and dating seduction industry and don't get me wrong There's great techniques you can learn but from just sitting in front of the door and shaking people's hands Or giving giving hugs and that doesn't mean like For an hour a day doing that at a street corner, but it's actually really trying to have a personal interaction So the best way to do that is to ask people how the day is going Or actually, let me say this if you're learning Techniques that have to the seduction industry. That's awesome. They're probably great But if you mix that and add in simple things like gestures like ask people how their day isn't actually listening and exchanging back Those are gonna help you build to a real socialization again The end goal is to exchange with another human being and not to control another human being Okay, great And that leads me to my next question which is actually about balance if you can finally realize you're not quite in balance Or you've never have been or you were before how do you get more back in balance? See balances is like So balance physically Will be achieved through diet and once you start to get back to your diet or physical exercise It'll happen almost immediately Now you could still be sick and you might be kind of to a point where but you're gonna get in balance with your state of That sickness now mentally it can happen immediately The problem is is it's not how do we get in balance? It's when we make the decision to get into balance Okay, so with diet It's like when do I start doing the type of diet stuff that I believe in like we talked a lot about the paleo stuff I do that but other people might do something else, you know, it's for you to decide but once you start doing that You'll get into the balance of what your body supposed to be mentally Start doing things where it could be through giving or interacting with people or you know, there could be things that are positive and overcompensating that keep you from how would I say like Dealing with your your moment of now like for instance. I might like to talk a lot I might be too social. So it might berate people and not allow me to calm down and really intimately exchange with people That's also bringing it back to balance when I start taking actions on those almost immediately come to balance So it's when I make the decision to come into balance Okay, well, it was great talking to you if I want to see more just you and your stuff Where do I go you go to the sexual life comm and there's a podcast and videos and all sorts of cool stuff But yeah, love to love to hear from you. Okay, great. Bye guys from the 21 convention


Russian general was fired for unprepared defence in Bakhmut. Institute for the study of war ISW has updated its first of October assessment that Ukrainian forces lost positions in the trench system south-west of Robertine, geographic footage released on the 2nd of October and satellite imagery indicate that Ukrainian forces regained these positions sometime between the 12th and 17th of September and are currently holding them. In addition, according to military analysts, Ukrainian troops have advanced slightly in the area of the border of Donetsk and Zaporizia Oblasts and near Bakhmut. On the 2nd of October, Russian troops continued their offensive on the Avdeevka-Donetsk line and advanced. The Russian military claimed the capture of several Ukrainian positions near Sivan-Keremik and Stepov on the 1st and 2nd of October. Ukraine's general staff reported that Ukrainian forces repelled Russian attacks east of Stepov and near Avdeevka, Keremik, Pervo-Maisk, Morynka and Novo-Maikailivka. According to the ISW, Ukrainian forces marginally advanced in the Donetsk-Zaporizia Oblast border area and near Bakhmut on the 2nd of October. A Russian Storm-Z assault unit instructor speculated that the Russian Ministry of Defence removed Lieutenant-General Andrey Sashavoy from commanding the Bakhmut direction due to his poor performance. Russian sources reported that Lieutenant-General Andrey Sashavoy was blamed for unprepared, unorganised and ineffective human waves counterattacks on Klishivka and Andreyivka that led to unsustainable losses and further collapse of the defence line and was fired. And as claimed by the Russian sources, he was not disfired, a group of people unexpectedly showed up at his office, took him out and no one has seen him since. Interestingly this was done so fast that no formal transfer of responsibility has been done.

I won't keep you waiting, without further ado, here's the complete collection of Kevin McHale's greatest stories.  I mean with the footwork, the soft touch around the rim, the hook shot, he had it all in his bag. Also he had long arms, as a matter of fact if I had his arms I could shake your hand from sitting in this chair. It could be 6'10", and when you put that combination together it was lethal. Low post play, step back, 15 foot jump shot, Charles Barkley said he was the toughest guy he ever had to play in the NBA. The great Charles Barkley was once asked, who was the toughest player he ever had to guard? Who was the guy that you knew you were going to have a, you couldn't wait to face? I will tell you this, I hated Kevin McHale because he's the best player I ever played against. Yeah, Charles constantly reminds us who was the toughest competition when it comes and the answer is always Kevin McHale. Kevin McHale's the best player I ever played against. Actually my personal nemesis is Kevin McHale. I'm telling you, you kids just don't know how good Kevin McHale was. Because he was such, he's the best player I ever played against. You could not stop him. He was the one guy who was so much bigger to me with his long arms and his great moves. I had a difficult time guarding him and then on the other end he was so long, you know, he was so long it was tough for me to get my shot off if I had to face him up. Six foot ten and blessed with arms so long that people often joked he could tie his shoes without bending over. He had every post move in the book, the jump hook, the up and under, the reverse lay in, the fade away. McHale was simply unstoppable on the block. So much so that in the 1986-87 season he averaged 26 points a game while shooting 60% from the floor and 80% from the line. You know how many NBA players have averaged 20 or more points, shot 60% from the floor and 80% from the strike in the same season? One! Kevin McHale. And on the other end I had to use every ounce of energy I did to score on him. That guy, when I looked at, because we all look at the schedule, we're like, okay, I can have some fun that night. Uh-oh, uh-oh, better get a good night's sleep that night. I mean, we all say the same thing about different guys, but Kevin McHale is the best player I've played against. When we talk about the top power forwards to ever play the game, the same names get mentioned, Duncan, Barkley, Malone, Novitsky, Garnett. But there's one name that's too often left off the list. The name of a guy who routinely gave some of the greatest to ever lace him up. The business. I have no idea why, because he wasn't very athletic, but for some reason he knew all the little tricks and he drove me crazy when I played against him.  Well, you probably wanted Bird to guard you, didn't you? Oh, Larry Bird didn't want any of this. Come on, brother. Hey, Larry, he's Larry Legend, but not on the defensive end. You probably didn't want any piece of that with his offense, though. You know, he was great, great, great, but like I say, in my day, I mean, it was a challenge to play against him. I mean, nobody's going to stop a great player. But listen, I'd rather play against him than Kevin McKell, because Kevin was just so much bigger to me with those long guns. And Kevin, to this day, other than Tim Duncan, had the best low post moves of any power forward to ever play the game. Because he was unstoppable offensively and he gave me nightmares on defense. As I was growing up, when we was playing against the Celtics, the Celtics would come in and, you know, they knew they was going to beat us, no matter how we start the game. In Chicago, the Celts against the Bulls, Kevin McKell, look at this great pass to Robert Parrish. McKell himself had 31 points on the night. He said he was so sure that they were going to beat the Bulls, he said he didn't even bring a change of clothes. They just knew we were going to fold new and come back and beat us. You know, Kevin McKell was, you know, was talking more trash than anybody's ever seen and buried as well. But they knew they were going to win. As we go to break, a little trash talking, what did you used to tell people in game seven or in closeout games when they were in Boston? I used to tell them all the time, I said, look it now, when we get done tonight, just shut out the lights. Because, you know what, this game's over. I said, when it was a closeout game, I used to tell Johnny Lucas, I said, John, you know where the lights are in this place? First time, he said, what for? I said, we're getting ready to shut the lights off on this place. He tells them before the game. I'm going up. It's about maybe five seconds to go in the game. I go up the chute, Miguel goes, all right, that is your last shot of the season. I hope you make it. Some of the greatest feet ever in NBA history when you're talking about signature moves, Kevin McKell and the dream shake, Hakeem Olajewan. I think they're the two best. I played many years against both of those guys and Kevin McKell, it got to the point where they were calling him a man of 1,000 moves. Could not guard him one-on-one on the box because he had such great footwork and he did a great job of filling the contact.  If the double team didn't come right away, forget about it. He had too much stuff on the box. But that's what I love about the league is that no matter what level you're on, when you get to this league, first of all, you're going to be happy that the NBA players are fans of you and they encourage you, the players are, and they want you to get better, but you also have to learn. You know, throw that out the window and get better because guys have different moves that can come. I'll tell you, Kevin got this bad reputation as being the black hole and never passing the ball out. Do you think maybe you guys were a little unfair to him? Maybe you guys were never open. Well, Kevin's philosophy was, why should he pass the ball out when he's shooting 60, 65 percent? Also, Kevin was, he talked about Kevin intelligence on the court. One thing I like about Kevin, he was a very smart player. He never set a pick. The reason why he didn't set a pick, because the guy that came off him had to pass it inside. So Kevin knew he was going to get a shot. The one thing about Kevin, I'm sure you guys will attest to this, I have never seen him at all fail when the game was on the line in the clutch. This guy was cool as a cucumber, a stone of granite. Wouldn't you say Larry? I mean, he never failed. No question about it. Kevin was so calm. You always hear Kevin talking about after the game, he goes, he forgets about that game. He goes with his family, what she does. You know, that game's history. Let's get on to the next game. But in game two in 1984, we lost the first game. Gerald still has a ball. There's about 20 seconds to go in the game. And Kevin's at the free throw line. We're down by two. And he's so calm. And I just couldn't believe what happened after that. Let's go to it. Let's go to the videotape. I think there's 20 seconds left. Well, there's 30 some. But Kevin gets fouled and has to go to the free throw line. And he's got two shots. We're down by two. And everybody's thinking, well, at least he'll make one and something will happen. But you know, the players always stand to go and say he's going to hit both of them. So here he is. He's getting ready to go to the line. You can tell right now that he's a little shook up about it. Because he's looking at somebody else to see if the referee's going to put them on the line. So he walks over to their bench, gets his towel. He looks real calm at this point. He walks to the free throw line. You know, he's talking. He's having a good time. He knows we're down by two points. And this is probably the biggest game of all of our lives. Cedric comes in. He looks happy. See, right now he's seven for eight from the line. He must have got fouled on the one he missed. But the one thing you got to watch is his knees. You know, it's so important to go to the free throw line with a lot of courage and a lot of confidence. But watch Kevin's knees. Don't watch him shoot the free throw. Look us on his knees. He's calm. He's cool. And he knows he's going to make this. Follow his knees. That was bad. Those guys love that. Casey, here's my buddy Casey. We're playing the next year. And with that, all of a sudden we're having a film session. Casey goes, I got to show you guys something. He played that about 30 times. I said, come on, man. Casey, you're killing me. Gerald, I was talking with Gerald earlier. He mentioned that he wanted me to say thanks for making him famous. If you hadn't missed those two free throws in 84, that still wouldn't have mattered. You know, once upon a time, Sam Jones had the Celtics franchise record for points in a game. And then Larry Bird eclipsed that. And then Kevin McHale actually eclipsed Larry Bird's franchise scoring record. Kevin McHale, when before he had the 56, did you look at him as a guy who can absolutely dominate a game? Or was he a guy that was really good, but really you can't count on him to get you a 50-point ballgame? Three on two. Kevin, got it. McHale's got two. No, yeah. All right, spot. Two. Many traffic. Two of them. Mine's Kevin. McHale. With what got him here. Two. Two tight. McHale. McHale. Two. McHale. Got it. 54 for McHale. And Kevin McHale's coming out. Towards the end of the game, Larry came up to me and said, I said I'm going to come on. I was mid-and-a-half for two minutes to go to the game. Larry said, are you crazy? I said, I'm had enough, man. We're ahead. And he goes, if I get that hot, I'm not stopping. Well, nine days later, you got that hot. I said, you stopped me. He said, I'm not stopping. Yeah, you were playing the Hawks. And it was one of those times they were playing some home games down in New Orleans. Yep. And I mean, everybody was entertained by this. Even the guys on the Atlanta bench. They got fine for that, I heard. Yeah. Watch the reactions on the Atlanta bench. Because he's got all up there laughing. Watch Cliff Levingston over here. I think this is Cliff. Yeah, right there, he told me. Right there, he looked at me and said, I told you I wasn't stopping. You know, Cedric Maxwell had been playing a lot. Kevin, obviously, had moved into that starting position. Yeah, Kevin McHale was saying, yeah, I was right in this corner and I'm looking at him score.   Kevin, with his length, with his footwork, and I mean, supreme confidence in his ability not only to knock down the 14, 15 footer, one dribble to a spot, one dribble to the rim, up and under. He had all of that game. And Larry had great confidence in it. I mean, Larry was specifically, when we ran the offense, if you threw it to Larry and it was, you know, Larry come off a pin down on Kevin, he wouldn't come off looking to shoot. That's, Brian, you know, that's an indication that if you got a guy that's in position to score, you'll throw him the ball and that's what Larry did with him. So we knew he was capable of scoring. I didn't see the 56 points coming. I will not tell that to you. You know playing when you've got a guy that you've got your number one player has confidence in, then you know you got a guy that could play. You know, Kevin McHale is a Hall of Fame player. Compare him to a guy nowadays. It feels like his style of play is like a lost art form now. It is. I don't think there's any doubt about it. First of all, you don't see post up. You know, you and I, I see you all the time. Matter of fact, last time we were talking about it, we saw each other. It was the last game respectively that both teams played. But no, you don't see Kevin's game anymore because guys just, they don't post up to try to get to a position. He just kind of, with that length, just faced you, walked you down. And then he could get it off the block a couple of dribbles and still be able to get himself in position to get a shot that you've had a hard time challenging. You don't see anybody in the game like that today. Two guys who were great in the low post. And obviously, and one was a mentor to the other, McHale being to Garnett. You know, how prevalent will the low post game be in the next five years? You know, we see all the stretch for us and we talk about it all the time. But here are two guys that's skill was magnificent over the power. So what do you two guys think that's going to happen in the next five years?  You know, the Kevin McHale to Jack Sycamore to Charles Barkley's using pump fakes from not just verticals, but at angles using the backboard up and under and stuff like that to really to where you get to, you know, my class and we was more face-up shooters being able to put the ball on the floor, took a finesse kind of approach to it.  KG and his prime versus McHale and his prime while you would win. I'm going to give it to Mack. Mack's shoulders, Mack is unguardable. Mack had to be double team, triple team. You know, he taught me, it's only right. That's a great question. That's not a great question. That's a great question. That's the best player I've played. You can't spit because you've played against, don't mean it's not the best player. Kevin McGovern, that's not the best player somebody else played. Come on, man. This guy's the best player I've played against. I'm not saying that you, it doesn't mean that Kevin Governet didn't have all of this, ooh, all of this too. Oh, goodness. Oh, give me that. There you go. Hold on. Dream shake, bro. It's out of this business. Out of this business, man. Out of this business, that's all. It's not as good a cut as you think it is. Ain't no man, listen, I ain't worried about no man that wears skinny jeans. It always goes back to that. Hey, Chuck. One leg at a time, Chuck. One leg at a time. He's a tremendous opponent to have too, with those big square shoulders and, you know, as awkward as he might have seemed sometimes on the court, he always knew where he was going and he knew what he was doing. And he was probably the most feared guy in Boston by the 76ers. Another Boston Philadelphia classic.  I might as well just take a jump shot. He's all the way down here. You know, I knew if I beat Bird or Maxwell, McCall was going to be there. Kevin wasn't afraid to take a shot at you. You know, he was a critical piece to the puzzle, and there were many nights when he was the MVP at Boston. Each and every time I walked into Boston Garden, I knew I had to be at my best.  Man, we played hard, Doc. We got after it, and I was doing everything I could to beat you. It was a fierce rivalry, but at the end, like I say, a lot of those old wounds, they kind of fade over. The one night we were playing against the Celtics, and McCall really has it going.  Now, you played with Kent Benson. He was the former number one pick. He's on the pistons, and McCall is working him. And finally, you know, he started saying, he's got these guys in the torture chamber. I know when I talk to my friends to get worked by my current teammates, I lay into them. Were you laying into Kent Benson a little bit? I didn't lay into Kent, because I knew it was more than Kent could handle, quite frankly. You have to kind of know your personality. Kent played on our championship team when I was out of college, but he also had, Larry had come to visit Indiana University, decided to go to Indiana State, and frankly, I'm not sure Kent gave the respect to Larry that Larry deserved when Larry came. Larry always intended to play really well against Kent Benson. And now Kevin's got it. Kevin knows about Larry's intent, and if you know Kevin's personality, like all of us, we all want to be like, loved, whatever that's about, he wants to make sure he maintains Larry's respect. So Larry is feeding him the ball so he can give it to Kent Benson. Kent was overmatched. There's just not any question about it. Kevin McCall taught me more about basketball, I would say, than any big man coach, the way he would move his body, lean the other side. It looks like his body is halfway leaned over, halfway down, but his head is up here. It's just a weird look.  He would go back to double teams, and he was looking down at me, shooting like, you're too late, I, there's nothing you can do about this.  You know, once he caught the ball, you were at his mercy. So the best. Kent was a guy that probably was more of a shooting center than he was playing Power Forward. At any rate, Kevin went to work on him, and there wasn't a thing Kent could do about it. And I don't, I don't tease Kent about that. I think he, he got enough that day. He doesn't need any more teasing about that. You know, Kevin is one of those guys who can really get under your skin at times. But when practice sessions were completed, some of the most competitive competition began. Double dribble! Double dribble! No! Double dribble! Double dribble! Double dribble! He did, too. I didn't. That's all I'm telling you. I was a big cry. I didn't do it. It's easy to play to you like this. All the more I didn't do it. Because when I went to get it with this hand, this hand came with the ball. No, I didn't. Big cry. I'm going to do something. I'm good. I stole your framework. You cheated. You cheated. I can tell you. Look at this. Practical Joker makes fun, real tease. Man, I'm glad when Bill Walton showed up. Because Kevin got off my case and couldn't wait to get ahold of Bill. Kevin taught me a lot about the game. And one thing in particular is he really taught me how to deal with the media. Just lie. Raise tape, John. Get tighter. Get tighter.  That was one of the reasons I collared with Kurt Rand with my flipper. It's so bad. I couldn't help it. I'm just kidding, babe. Sometimes playing against a person, you appreciate him even more. And when, as I traveled and played with a few different teams against Kevin and we'd go through the scouting report and we'd walk through how we're going to defend him, you know, I'd hear coaches say things like, you know, fake the double team, wait till he puts it on the floor. All the coaching terminology is how you defend him. And I'd always have to step in and say, no, wait a minute. Kevin had this philosophy that if you double teamed him, he thought you could get four points. He scored. He used to tell me all the time, I'd say, Kevin, my man is right on you. I'm wide open. My man's guarding you. Pass me the ball. He'd say, tell your man to guard you then. And I'd go up to him, I'd say, Kevin, mine and DJ's man are both on you. He'd say, I should get six points for scoring that. He had a great perspective on the game. And I think that all the players that played with him really learned from him to have fun, to compete when it was time to compete and to deal with adversities. And I appreciate that. And I appreciate Kevin's friendship and the chance to play with him. I get picked on all these teams I play with. Now, Dan Marley just came up with a new statistic that he's keeping track of, and it's called SPDs. And it's stories per day. And every one of those stories I'm telling is about the Boston Celtics. And most of them are about Kevin McHale. Thank you very much. I was so lucky to have teammates that we really enjoyed. Bill Walton made the 86 season for me. For a lot of us, Bill Walton was like a guy that we looked at at UCLA, the 21 for 22, the Memphis. Just some of the stuff he had done in UCLA and the Bruins coming in in the 77 series in Portland when the Trailblazers beat the 76ers.  How much does he have left? With Bill's history, we had no clue. We got off to a pretty good start in training camp. He was pretty healthy, and we was trying to ride the wave.   The greatest moment of my life on the basketball court was in 2006. Forget the championships. Forget the parades. We were practicing, and it was one of the few days that Kevin actually got there on time. Maybe KC finally got the point of telling Kevin practice started at 9.30 instead of 10.30, and Kevin and I used to love to play one-on-one before practice. KC at 10.30 blew the whistle, and we were really going at it at the other end and asked us to come on down, let's get started. Well, we totally ignored him, and he was heart and heavy. A couple minutes later, KC really blows the whistle and says, okay, get down here right now. We're going to get started. We're serious. We dropped the ball, we're walking down, and Kevin and I are going at each other.  This is embarrassing. You probably wouldn't even be in the league if you didn't have Larry passing you the ball with all those easy layups. KC said, okay, I've had enough of this. I've listened to you guys moan and complain and whine and boast all season. Let's settle this right now. We've got the whole team here. Red's here. Red was over there smoking a cigar.   He was killing me. I shot for outs. I made it.  Everything I did, he called traveling. I mean, DJ was killing me that day and Bill did win the game of one-on-one, but it was under protest to this day. After I hit the game winner and Kevin's faced that day and DJ waved it off, called off the jam and said, that's it, Bill's the winner. I took the ball out of the net and tossed it to KC. I said, KC, practice is over. We're heading to the bar. It's on me. KC said, right on. Let's go. Glenn Ordway talked about my induction into the Hall of Fame. I got thousands of phone calls from around the country, so many of them from the Celtics, the management, the players and all. None meant more to me than the phone call from Kevin McHale. Called me up and he said, Bill, congratulations, but you know you never would have made it to the Hall of Fame if you hadn't beaten me that day at Hellenic College. And I said to Kevin, Kevin, if I couldn't beat you, I don't belong in the Hall of Fame. Kevin McHale.   Well, couldn't have found out. He's a great defensive player, but he's a lot better score. Even a type of guy that you find yourself watching him, you know, what is he going to do next? You know, because like I said, he had so many moves around the basket and you got to realize Kevin McHale didn't believe in passing the ball back out once he's got it. So he's doing these unbelievable moves over two and three people. I don't think you can sum up in any modern time what it's like being a Celtic. I suppose just an immense pride, a willingness to do whatever it takes to win, playing hurt, playing when you didn't feel like it and playing for the best organization that there's ever been. I mean, it's just, Larry said it best. I think he said, if you didn't play for the Celtics, you never played basketball.
