Welcome to ToffeeTV it is the Everton News Daily. Frank Lampard has held his press conference ahead of Sunday's game against West Ham Yeah, wasn't too much said at the press conference obviously coming into the last part of the season now just had a couple of weeks off and Frank Lampard revealed that Everton had been working very very closely with Dominic Carvent-Lewan in that time and he said he was he's in a really good place He said he hadn't had them for many games And and he had been playing short of fitness But he said he was in a good place and they had been as I said working very very closely with them so it sounds like in the last couple of weeks maybe Everton have been Using a tailored training program for the player to make sure that he is at his maximum For these 11 Premier League games and maybe Waking on ways that he can get more out of them in games He's seen he's been a very isolated figure in a lot of the games We've played all the games that he's featured in and he played well against Leeds and obviously we won that game But he has looked quite isolated. We don't get enough men around them. We don't use them correctly We haven't been getting a lot of crosses in the box and either ironically We've been putting a lot of crosses in under Rafa Benitez when we didn't have him in the team But under Frank Lampard we've stopped doing that. So whether the manager's got you know a trick up its sleeve to get more out of him I'm not sure but It's gonna be interesting because the man needs to You know step up would be the wrong phrase, but needs to be at his best obviously scored last season at West Ham It's got a hat against my home as well in the league couple last season. So You know he'll be looking forward to that. I think he scored the season before at West Ham in a 1-1 draw as well So he'll have you know good good feelings going into this game. So hopefully he is at his best and hopefully he's ready to go So it's gonna be a we need a fit Domino Calvin Lune going into these Hugely important games coming up. So it's good to hear he's in a good place Frank Lampard mentioned as well the injury situation. He said Fabian Delphi's still a week or so away the training pitch is early on Fabian Delphi was actually absent from so You know, he's been training but yet suddenly isn't available to play and was missing from them. So whether he's got some kind of small reoccurrence or Just feeling it because he hasn't played that much But he's not gonna be available for this game may not be available for the game against Bailey and that's that's That's a real disappointment because of course Alan is suspender for these two games and ever desperately short in that midfield area.  The manager did say yeah He mean there's a couple of weeks away, which possibly means that I'd be available for the game Against Lester. I think it's on the 20th Which would be big because that wouldn't that mean he'd be available for about eight Premier League games So if he was available for eight Premier League games, if we keep him fit for eight Premier League games That'd be huge for us because our points per game when he's in the team is one point four And if that followed suit while he was in those games, then we I think we stay up Without a problem, but of course it is getting them on the pitch and it's keeping on the pitch is going to be the tough part So Let's hope, you know, we is back for the Lester game. As I said, that's on the 20th So there's three games routine now and then but if he was available for those eight games That would be that would be that would be absolutely huge So as I said, no Delft this weekend. No Allen obviously through suspension And and it is It is difficult to see what the makeup of that midfield would be. There's only really three players and you know, the core and van de Beek and obviously Andre Gomez was appalling versus Crystal Palace, you could it be hard to see how he could retain his place in the side Which might mean we go back to a back three or keep a back three Play with the wing backs made that might give an opportunity to To Nathan Patterson to get into the side that right wing back like he was playing for Scotland So it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting. But once again, we were very very short in that midfield So it's gonna be interesting to see what happens in other news today. The World Cup draw has just happened And for the event players Jordan Pickford and potentially Donald Calvin Lewin their group consists of Iran and the United States and Either Ukraine Scotland or Wales. So it could be that Nathan Patterson or Tali Michelenko will play against England will play against Jordan Pickford and They have to get through their playoff first Obviously that's been delayed because of what's been going on in Ukraine. So a bit of Everton interest there and With Charleston playing for Brazil, obviously they qualified and He scored three in the two games that he was involved in they will be playing playing Serbia, Switzerland or And sorry Cameroon. So I think that's about the only interest as it stands from Everton's point of view Nigeria didn't qualify. So no Alex a woby Columbia didn't qualify. So no yeti Mina Obviously no island for shameless Coleman. So That's a bad if from from those plays. Maybe don't want to come in for England if He gets a call up and if he's still an Everton player And I'm sure by the time the World Cup comes around that the goldmuller forces way into the England squad as well But we'll have to wait and see there you go Nothing else to report today.

I will start on magnetism before going to magnetism I think one or two application what we were discussing for you know coordination chemistry I will show in here. Sometime we do not realize that the simple high spin low spin configuration can give you something very very important. For example, let us say you have a complex which is low spin it has one color low spin you know what sort of transition you do expect it can vary depending on the compound. Let us say you have a given compound the compound is low spin. If you give the temperature if you heat the complex what you can have is you can convert the low spin compound into high spin because low spin means what those spin cannot go in the easy orbital let us say t 2 g to easy orbital. Now, as soon as you put heat or let us say laser light some of the spin some of those electron will be now traveling to the easy orbital t 2 g to easy. Now, the color of that compound will be different it could be white to red red to white or whatever it is right. So, by changing these something like display you see lot of these color display you know in big audience or big auditorium or even display in the on road side somewhere else. So, basically let us say it is it is one color the moment laser light is you know signing on this display what happens it may be it may be showing a particular thing particular let us say name written whatever you want to happy birthday wish that something you have wished me that can be written over here on the board just by signing those laser lights that is nothing, but changing high spin to low spin configuration. Lot of things can be done and it has been done without realizing we are seeing those other form of this sort of high spin low spin configuration can be used in your money card or ATM. Let us say you have a debit card you have 10,000 rupees every time you pick up money let us say first time you pick up 2000 rupees from ATM machine right. Now, so what can happen is a selected amount of laser light can be irradiated on your card because 2000 rupees will let us say be selecting by default how much laser light to sign thereby some of the complex will go from high spin to low spin or low spin to high spin let us say low spin to high spin specifically you are putting light. So, low spin to high spin will be going next time when you are punching the card again the machine can read how much money you have left let us say after 10,000 minus 2000 8,000 this way let us say at the end you have 1000 rupees you want to draw 5000 rupees from that instrument will not allow. So, these are also technique these are different ways to take advantage of this complex this is something one paper has already come and only problem is so far this technique is little bit expensive that is why we do not see it in the market right now, but soon enough it will be make hopefully made cheaper then you can you know the technology itself is coming expensive that is why it is not in the market, but in principle it can be done. So, lot of the practical application just by signing light since just by signing light you can change the electronic configuration of a compound of course, you have to choose the right compound right wavelength right everything let us say, but once you have that right combination you can do wonder something like this right also other thing of course you know that you have a color less compound you add something high spin to let us say low spin complex form or low spin to high spin complex form something like you cannot read here this is a iron aqua complex which is color less you the moment you add a financial into it high spin complex becomes low spin complex color changes ok another. So, this is of course sometime you can use it for magic lot of other application you can have simple color change other things for example, if you have let us say this red complex red complex is due to the low spin complex red complex is due to the low spin complex for example, you are starting with that the you are heating it ok. So, this is the temperature initially it was 250 Kelvin that is almost like room temperature let us say you start from there you keep on heating nothing happening nothing happening select at a selected temperature now these low spin to high spin transition is going on then what you will see all of a sudden at a particular temperature this red compound is becoming white ok. So, at that let us say this is 325 this is becoming white now that white compound you can try to cool down it will not follow exactly same pathway because the relaxation of the spin like spin was up spin has to go down that relaxation need not be necessarily following the same path you have excited something the relaxation means coming back from the you know the easy level to T 2 G level need not follow the same temperature profile what it can happen is at after reaching this white color it will take quite some time to come back to the red color. So, that even if you are decreasing the temperature still it stays white and at a particular temperature cooling down at a particular temperature can bring you red. So, these are nothing this is like a very good you know some these sort of you know behavior you can apply to something which may be let us say I mean it could be let us say what I said for money card your ATM card it could be for other display device lot of other things you can you can do. So, display device for example, it is here you just sign the light. So, it is getting heated thereby. So, red color or let us say purple color it is coming white color even if you cool down significantly this white color may not go back to red very quickly, but then again there are different material which can relax faster that means high spin to low spin it can come down faster. So, you sign the light the whatever we says whatever writing is there you see it you take off the light it goes back to the white or red or blue or sorry this purple again. So, you can basically dictate the term you can tell what you want thereby which complex to pick you want to sign the light from let us say violet color or red color you want to go to white color and you want to stay in white that is one of the mode or if you want to go back right after switching off the laser that can be also possible. So, these are nothing, but application in different display which you can have based on the synthetic chemistry knowledge. Of course, lot of startup companies and lot of other related application in material science has already come up. These are something of course, you can in future if you are looking for a startup company ok. Something that this knowledge it is not necessarily this knowledge it is some other knowledge you read in let us say in fourth year fifth year or sorry fourth year. So, you can you can take it off and try to set up a company from this simple ideas if there is none existing. So, that is I guess that is the knowledge sharing and today we will discuss mainly magnets ok. We were discussing magnets in the last class simply magnets are nothing, but having or magnetic compounds are nothing, but having unpaired electron that is what we were discussing. More than unpaired electron better the magnetic moment or higher the magnetic moment magnetic values will be high ok. If you have paired up all the spin paired up if you have unpaired electron, but those unpaired electron are not unpaired they are pairing it up then you are losing the magnetic value right magnetic moment value. So, all the complexes can potentially therefore, give you magnetic moment because all of them are having electrons. Now, the electron as we were say saying electrons are rotating around its own axis that is the spin value its spinning that is why it can give you one type of momentum or spin or spin angular momentum or sorry it is called spin only values for magnetic moment or it can rotate around the orbital ok. There is a nucleus surrounding it the electrons are rotating. So, these are the two types of motion that can give you magnetic moment, but what we are saying usually you do not have to worry about the orbital component only the spin only value good enough. Because ligands are restricting the electrons because they are overlapping effectively restricting the electrons to rotate around the orbital. So, therefore, since the electrons cannot really balance electron mind you not the inner electron balance electron not effectively able to rotate around its own orbit or rotate along its orbit you end up getting only spin component only spin magnetic moment value you get ok. Now, also you are trying to tell you that some cases you have to have spin value plus some orbital contribution why is that? That is simply because those whenever one orbital to another orbital transition is possible I guess last plus we were trying to discuss. So, let us say d x y to d y z to d x z these transitions are allowed transition because by rotating just 90 degree you can inter convert these orbital. Therefore, you can see there is a magnetic component let us say from x y direction to a x z direction. So, thereby there is a some sort of magnetic contribution on those z direction it is not necessarily ligand is holding the electron completely it is retarding it it is preventing it, but not 100 percent. The moment electron can transfer from one orbital to another orbital that means, the direction changes x y direction to x z direction z direction some component will be arising that is the one going to give you the orbital contribution ok. I will come back to that again ok. Let me tell you again simply electron can spin therefore, magnetic moment values can come out of it, but opposite spin can cancel each other as we were trying to say ok. Overall I guess overall we in terms of mathematical calculation we can have this equation where essentially you are keeping your molecules in a magnetic field and that magnetic field is going to be your H. So, in let us say this is the magnetic field of H here you are keeping the compound right. So, how much magnetization or how much effect this molecule is going to feel that is dependent on the magnetic field that H plus it is characteristics it is its nature what can it be magnetized pretty easily that is the term called I ok. So, any species kept in a magnetic field is going to feel the field itself plus it is inherent behavior that will try to make it magnetized. So, that is the I component now. So, intensity of magnetization how quickly it can it can or how greatly it can orient with respect to that magnetic field ok. Now, if you do the math. So, B by H if you divided by H B by H will be 4 phi I by H right. This term is called this kappa or the magnetic susceptibility ok. So, this is the term kappa is the magnetic susceptibility. Now, from there you can do the following math simply there is kappa by rho which is the density of the species density of the molecule that will be the gram molar gram magnetic susceptibility multiply that with molecular weight that will be molar susceptibility. So, this I by H term you divided by rho simple its density of the molecule you get chi G or X this magnetic susceptibility gram magnetic susceptibility. This term you multiply by molecular weight you get molecular or sorry this molar susceptibility ok. This is just simple math you have this equation divide by H you get I by H which is kappa divide kappa by rho that is going to be your gram susceptibility or mass susceptibility mass susceptibility multiply by molecular weight you are going to get this molar susceptibility. It is something I think you have studied before. Now, once you have that molar susceptibility that is corresponded with the magnetic moment value this is the simple equation. Now, from there you can get the magnetic moment value of a compound right. Of course, mu you can calculate what it is coming it has a temperature component. So, what it tells you is the temperature is going to affect your magnetic moment value. We are going to see how it is affecting the magnetic moment value is the one we were talking it has two component that spin component and the orbital component ok. Now, this magnetic moment value can give you the idea about the complex itself what it is made of how many unpaired electron it has. This is a experimentally measurable quantity you can measure the magnetic moment value and thereby you can get crucial information about your let us say unknown compound ok. It can give you number of unpaired electrons present high spin low spin it can give you the spectral behavior you can it can also tell you something about the structure of the complex. So, what all we are saying is if you have an unknown complex you can measure the magnetic moment value of it and thereby you can try to tell what that compound is made of right. How the equation equations are we have seen in here these are two different equation one is this one another is this one as long as you know the relationship between these two equation you are good to go. This is simple connection between them you just figure it out between these two equation this equation and that equation ok. They are connected by this kappa I by H and then kappa divided by your density will give you molar susceptibility and then multiplied by molecular weight you just look two minutes it should be clear right. So, based on these equation it is expected usually one of the math is given usually we get one question at least based on these two equation. They are interrelation some value will be given and thereby you have to calculate the magnetic moment let us say ok. Usually also in I think maybe it is in the tutorial question as well I forgot ok fine. Now, we were talking in the last class as well and today itself also we have two component orbital component and spin component the resultant one is going to be the mu total right, but this orbital component is going to be nullified or it will be diminished decreased not necessarily you can prevent it 100 percent ok. That is the orbital contribution usually we do not have to worry about orbital contribution you can calculate just mu spin only. The equation for calculating this mu total by taking this orbital and spin contribution is this one ok alright. Now, what happens to capital S this S is number of unpaired electron that is spin if it is 3 unpaired electron half plus half plus half 3 by 2 L L will that will come we will come for the lanthanide section it is the summation of usually M L right. So, for d orbital it is let us say plus 2 plus 1 0 minus 1 minus 2 will come for the lanthanide from there we will discuss. Anyway you do not have to calculate for d block element you usually do not have to calculate the L value you can only plug this equation for the S value ok alright. So, we have two component once again only spin value is good enough what you nail it down further is root of N multiplied by N plus 2 N N times N plus 2 root of that that gives you for 1 unpaired electron 2 unpaired electrons 3 unpaired electrons 4 and 5 and so on what would be the magnetic moment value. So, by knowing how many unpaired electron is there pretty much you can be confident what will be the experimental or experimentally observed magnetic moment for pretty much a lot of cases. Now, so that is the magnetic moment value, that often what you see is at the end of it the experimentally observed magnetic moment value is slightly higher sometime lot higher how those are coming from or where they are coming from that is due to the assumption that this component does not exist ok. We bring them back to explain it ok. So, when you need to when the orbital angular momentum that mu L part comes in ok. It comes in when you have degenerate orbital, we have degenerate orbital if the orbital was not splitted then this component would have been high. If 5 d orbitals were degenerate then interconversion would have been possible much easier or 5 of the or 5 of the orbital it can interconvert. So, electron can interconvert between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So, therefore, the orbital sorry orbital angular momentum value would have been higher. Since in octahedral field for example, or tetrahedral field it is splitted into T2G EG or ET2 we are going to get little less orbital angular momentum value ok compared to unsplitted d orbital right. Now of course, interconversion leads to some sort of new directionality x y to x z z is new x z to y z y is new right. So, that is the one contributing for your little bit more momentum right. Now just degeneracy is not good enough why because you should be able to interconvert also. For example, dx to y 2 ok this is the last warning ok. It is a big class if it was a small class I would not have mind too much because I know what exactly goes on ok. Please have some respect ok. So, what we are trying to have is T2G EG EG dx to y 2 and dz 2 by no way you can interconvert. Therefore, in EG you from EG you cannot get any orbital angular momentum value only possibility is T2G because the dx y dy z dx z are interconvertible ok. Of course, if they are having same spin you cannot interconvert. So, let us say T2G 3 1 1 1 all 3 of them are having same spin you cannot interconvert fair enough. So, inter there they should be similar shape in size dx y dy z dx z are the same shape in size there should they should be interconvertible and the orbital must not contain electrons of identical spin that is the criteria for getting some orbital angular momentum is it clear. So, T2G 1 you can get orbital angular momentum because T2G 1 that 1 unpaired electron can be either in dx y dy z or dx z 3 different orientations are possible. T2G 2 is possible, T2G 3 is not possible, T2G 4 once again is possible, T2G 5 is possible, T2G 6 is not possible. In T2G 3 all 3 are having same spin from where to where you will interconvert. See T2G 1 means dx y 2 dy z you can go interconvert means 1 means they have to exchange if there is no scope for exchanging for how will you exchange ok. Same spin T2G 3 means 3 unpaired spin in the same direction spin multiplicity same direction they will be having you will. So, only so far as we see only T2G 3 will not be able to give you yeah ok yeah that I am coming yeah next slide. So, that interconversion will be having some contribution not as great as let us say T2G to T2G configuration. So, T2G to T2G I mean interchange will give you little bit more orbital angular momentum value compared to easy to T2G conversion that is that is what the next slide sees about. So, dy z dx y and dx z these 3 orbitals are interconvertible no problem ok over here that is the interconversion is shown. So, you just so you just rotate by 90 degree you will be able to rotate dx y. So, this plane to that plane to that or whatever these 3 different plane you can see. Now, as you see dz 2 and dx 2 y 2 are not interconvertible. So, from purely from easy orbital just easy orbital itself cannot give you any orbital angular momentum value. So, that you know the spin only value is only considered ok. Now of course, what your friend trying to say is dx y is convert can be converted to dx 2 y 2 yes and thereby once you can convert dx 2 y 2 into dx y then you can interconvert dx y to dx z dy z and so on. So, T2G easy mixing if you can have then you will be able to get better orbital angular momentum value, but usually for mixing those energy has to be close enough if the gap is very high that mixing is not going to be possible right ok. So, we all hopefully by now understand that it is angular momentum or this orbital angular momentum and spin momentum value are important usually spin only value is good enough, but in some cases you have to talk about orbital angular momentum. Actually that is makes it you know little bit important or interesting otherwise whatever unpaired electron is there you will just end up calculating based on your calculator right. That is not fun of course, the exam questions are asked at least 1, 2 or so on orbital angular momentum ok when orbital angular momentum is there ok. Now so, this is the same thing what I was trying to say d 1 can have these 3 different contribution for example, titanium 3 plus is having d 1 electronic configuration and therefore, orbital contribution will be there for example, d 2 vanadium 7 plus. So, how the question would be let us say a complex is given where vanadium is sorry vanadium 3 plus vanadium 3 plus and you are asked whether it will have any orbital angular momentum or not or in some other form it will be asked indirectly, but mostly definitely I can assure you at least one question will be there on orbital angular momentum at least if not 2 ok. So, there you can have 2 different or 3 different configuration orbital contribution possible yes ok. Now this is something you do not have to remember, but you can justify you can go through each of those one by one. So, d 1 orbital angular momentum possible yes you can perhaps not read from here that is ok. So, what we have tried to do here is given you the complex different complex and their electronic configuration d 1, d 2, d 3, d 4 up to d 10 and then you have to write down t 2 g easy electronic configuration.


He's selling a kettle. That was kind of impressive, right? What's up players? What's going on ladies and gentlemen? Zendu nation. This is Ask the Zendudes episode 2 where you post questions about health and fitness and lifestyle and fun and We answer those questions. So, well, this time, this time. Keep on that sound effect is like Happy Tuesday. It's a Tuesday. We're getting more organized about our YouTube channel because as it grows guys first of all Thank you to our awesome community. $60,000 subscribers $60,000 subscribers. Four million views. Thank you. Thank you. We love you guys. Gracias. We get asked a lot of questions. So once a week, typically Sundays, We're gonna post to our Facebook group in the four-week challenge below That's where we get our questions from. So if you have a question for us that you want answered on Ask the Zendudes Click the link below put your email in and get into our community so that you can post the questions to our free Accountability group. We got about 6,000 strong in there of Zendudes and do that So if you like our videos or if you like us, everyone in the group is like us So you're probably gonna like them too. So join and then you can ask the questions We're not gonna answer every single question every week. We're gonna pick out like probably 15 to 20 questions So if your question does not get answered and you want to add you want to answer it Just ask it again the following yeah, and also you guys some of the questions you asked We just don't answer because we have videos to answer the questions So if you ask a question, right and we don't answer it Just type it into YouTube and you may find a video because we've already answered the question. That's true I'll start off by shouting out cross rope because They are the product we use every day Pretty much no matter what Right, there it is. We got the Joby rope and today we also got the speed rope made an appearance. Oh, hey speed rope Mr. Speed rope. How you doing there? It's the old bolt set. Oh, this is the three ounce Speed rope the other one is the sprint rope. There you go. So we'll link these up in the description You guys Be careful, bro. I actually just stabbed myself next Sponsor we want to talk about guys is you know, brand and I we don't we don't get super deep into supplements That's why we only work with one company and that company is athletic greens. They have a lot of great products such as We protein we make our protein shakes every Friday check out epic protein protein time dudes What's that with chocolate choco latte choco latte? It's chocolate a favorita and then we have the green juice powder right here This this uh, this is like the main athletic greens as a company. This is their main product. It's the Super flagship if you will flash this is a flagship right here.   Don't do that. That's gonna taste like Zendu nation. We're happy to be here with you Let's dive into these questions. Wolfie dragon. My dude. What is good. Wolfie.  I've got a question Can the tricep chest dips what he's meaning is dips can they do harm to the shoulders? Especially me being in my late 40s. Thank you Brandon My dude, that is a great question If you are doing triceps in tricep dips incorrectly, then you definitely can damage your rotator cuff So man, the best thing I'd recommend is I think there's some awesome people have dip tutorials on the youtube Probably dudes like I'm guarantee ellie holster was not has done one or the buck dude frank madera Moderna there we go So YouTube that one of these guys and just look at the tutorial they've done because I'm sure they've made an awesome video on it So I got to say about that totally totally Totally agree with brandon and my thing personally is I don't do a whole lot of dips because I actually Experience the same issues with my shoulder. So I don't even do them I just sub out a lot of push-ups tricep push-ups a great replacement. Boom. Vimal who has a cool profile pic asks I have one question too I have fat on the lower right side of the chest, but not on the left that much and I'm following the getting lean program Will the program target that or do I need any specific exercise to target that area to give it the proper shape? Vimal Great question my friend brandy. Go ahead. All right my dude. I'm gonna say this The best you can do is just try to train your pecs equally so you can do exercise like push-ups You can you know get some weighted exercises do bench press flies things of that sort But if you notice that there's like a fat pulp or something separate there You by training aren't going to be able to necessarily get rid of that once you get down to a certain level body fat percentage So if you're already super lean and something's still there there's not much you can do about it Go to your physician.  David Lloyd! Do you take bcaa's on rest days? Thanks. No, thank you, dude. Go ahead We do actually in general. Yes, we take branch chain amino acids in the morning because if we're fasted We want to help maintain the lean muscle tissue that we do have yep The bca's are taken on the rest days. Mono asks what are your opinions about a low carb high fat and protein diet? Is that is that a about a low carb high fat high protein? Okay, gotcha go gotcha my man. That is um a great question A lot of people think it's about going super low carb or super low fat We think it's just about getting a Equal distribution of fat protein and carbohydrates So we got a calculator that kind of helps you do this if you want to check it out We'll link it in the description below and once you plug in your numbers for that calculator You'll have a better idea of what we suggest you do with your macronutrients. My only other addition to that would be that Overall keep protein high, but the argument between like fats and carbs which one's better or not Listen guys you your body and your brain needs both fats and carbohydrates So what I would recommend is not going on the extreme of any diet You should be equally distributing your macros, but always remembering to keep your protein high Phillip Spanger asks Is it possible to do the guinea lean program because he doesn't have access to a gym But use the calorie intake from the gaining muscle program So be eating in a calorie surplus and still get those results We're gonna go ahead So man, here's the deal you can get it so far with just body weight exercises And I would just recommend continue to increase resistance by increasing the the amount of repetitions you're doing So if you can do 10 push-ups right now, you want to build up and continue to do more There's going to be an upper limit There's a ceiling to this and once you reach that ceiling you could start to think about if you want to incorporate more Weightlifting, but yes, do calculate your calories for gaining weight and go with that until you see yourself plateau. Agreed Shannon says hi guys I was wondering whether i'm better off focusing on burning fat for another for a little while And then switching over to building muscle or whether I ought to do both simultaneously I've lost 10 kilos so far, but want to lose a bit more fat. Thanks. First of all. Yeah, Shannon. What's up girl? Keep losing congratulations. Congratulations. First of all, yes and to answer your question I think Dan and I have a similar philosophy on this We usually tell people get down to the body fat percentage you want So keep getting leaner keep doing the getting lean program until you're where you want to be there And if you look at yourself, you're like, yo I want I want a little bit more mass my body at that point you can transition over to Trying to gain some weight by doing the gaining muscle program and eating a little bit more calories on a daily basis My only addition to that would be that there is some small bodies of research That say you can do both where you build muscle and lose fat at the same time But guys just understand make things a lot more simple on yourself If you want to gain muscle you you only gain muscle by eating in a caloric surplus So you're going to probably hang on to a lot of body fat. That's just the reality If you're cutting you have to be in a calorie deficit Meaning that you're probably not going to have as many calories to build up that muscle because you're losing body fat So my recommendation is pick like we usually recommend get lean first and then build up from there Bosco Bosco Bosco loom Bosco loom dude, that sounds like an awesome.

That's a great question My dude, it comes down to one thing you have to care deeply about the people you're trying to help And it was easy for us for us to do this because we went through these transformation ourselves Like we lost the weight we learned how jump rope made fitness fun We learned about all this calorie and mac and nutrient stuff and we're like, yo Let's go bring this to everyone else So find something you care truly and deeply about and then go tell people about it Dude, it's that easy.  Great question. Great question All right. So if you're using the Disrope cross rope agility rope you can basically use this anywhere anywhere except on I wouldn't use it on volcano magma We learned that wasn't the best idea. Yeah, but aside from that almost anywhere And then for other ropes like the speed rope we have over here like thinner ropes I'd recommend either jump a rope inside or on one of those rubber mats I mean you could jump like we have tile down right here. You could jump Use a speed rope right inside straight up samson asks. How do you guys find such fire music? Thank you sound cloud on youtube is where we find it. We just look for new up and coming artists and Share their music our videos Yeah, so this is exactly the process I go to sound cloud I type in things like instrumental trap music and then I filter it so I see which Which artists are no copyright Then I reach out to that artist and I just send him a message on sound cloud and I say dude Your beats are dope. Can we use them in our videos and usually they write back and say Absolutely, just make sure to link us up in the description. Bam boom awesome music jump and rope how large a boy Agniska Agniska Agniska Agniska Agnisk Agnisk for short. I don't know Um, she asks how do you handle situations? Oh, I like this question. Good one How do you handle situations which tear you down or especially other people who try to tear you down? What's your advice to follow your path? Nevertheless, that's a great one Ooh, I think I touched upon this last week and it's just don't make your happiness conditional on anything outside of your control So if someone else has something to say that's cool for them. That's like their experience or perspective they have on life Let them have it respect them for having it and then just do you like the only person who is in control of your mindset And your mind and your emotions is you So the more you understand and act on that the better you're gonna be Absolutely and guys there also just comes a point in time where You just have to stop caring like if you really want to do exactly what you want to do and like what like You know exactly what you want to do because there's a big like ball of energy.  Great question Great question. So for me, I lost the first I would say like 50 pounds more or less in about 13 14 weeks And then over the next like two years after that I lost the last 20 pounds because I was really figuring out what kind of physique I wanted and the physique that we promote now is one that Doesn't take a ton of time in the gym, but allows you to maintain a good amount of muscle mass So I lost a little bit of muscle mostly fat. That's how that's how I did it I guess it was about three years. Nice man. Mine was about two years total in college I was like 260 and I lost 40 pounds Stayed there for like a year and a half and then once I moved To new york. That's when I lost the last 30 and really got down to that like 8% body fat like 190 pound frame Shane Peters asks what camera is best for youtubeing and vlogging sharing your experience with previous cameras and your current as well Also, tell us how you record your videos brandy. Go ahead Dan, I know you love this stuff more than anything. So I'm gonna let you just handle this whole question I love these questions because I'm a huge audio and video nerd and just to let you guys know Here's how I'm gonna answer this question Brandon and I have used like mediocre gear like we have a cool gopro We have like two dslr cameras, but they're the basic ones Nike Nikon Nike Nikon d3200 and the canon Five five ti ti five ti for rebel t5i rebel t5i Rebel t5i to be totally totally honest with you guys like and I'm someone who's very anal about production quality Our quality like you you notice it's not the highest it could be so I wouldn't suggest like Getting the exact cameras that we use if that makes sense What I would recommend is getting a gopro because gopros are awesome. You can you know beat the sh** They take great videos Get a dslr and check out the video that I linked up below because this other youtuber who's really popular Casey Neistat has a great video on which products you should be buying Just to let you guys know Brandon and myself are going to be purchasing a lot of the products from this video Because we think it's they're the best and then in terms of how we record our videos I don't want to get into that like if you're talking about specifics because that would take forever We'll do a separate video on this But what I would say is just in general, how do we record bro? We set the camera up and we roll we just go we just go go no script Yeah, so my point is saying that is if you were looking for like a strategy on how to do things Focus less on that and just start making videos do like the thing do the thing Like if you have like an iPhone and iMovie start making movies, bam All right, josh last question here on cactus time Any advice to consume the appropriate amount of macros and micros in college? Also tips on not overeating in the dining halls. Yeah, this is a good question All right I don't know too much about not overeating in dining hall. I don't know either man That's how we got to be so big dining hall scholars. I don't think I actually know that much about Can't help you okay, man. No straight up.   Then go feast your face off In regards to when you should work out whenever you're gonna do it It's all about just being consistent in doing it. So whenever you feel your best do it then The best part about being in the in college though, which I wish I would have known about calories and macros when I was in college Is that you actually do have all the foods necessary to build a killer physique. Are you kidding me? You have like unlimited hard boiled eggs Sausage like you can just go to the college dining hall and ask for like a piece of chicken breast and they'll give it to you So my point is whatever food like our simple meal system You can get some of those bowls made in the dining hall My point is guys There's endless amounts of food in a college dining hall The biggest thing you need to focus on is the amount So instead of going in the morning and getting six eggs a pile of bacon two bagels That's what I used to do So good get like a little bit of greek yogurt with some granola and fruit on top of it and just have that be it So the point is You can definitely eat healthy in college dining halls. The trick is just to not overeat Thank you for turning tuning into this week's episode of ask the zen dudes We got another episode coming for you next Tuesday If you like this video and you want to see more of these where we answer your questions every single week Again, it's on a Tuesday.

Earlier today, we picked up these kits in our trucks loaded and unloaded from NDMA and WFP warehouses in Sakkar. When we were driving from Sakkar to Jacobabad, we saw firsthand the level of destruction that these floods have caused. These people need us the most and they need us now.


Hi guys it's Monica. I thought I would do a diet update video and I'm going to try to answer some of the questions that I've received from a few of you. Anyways you know I just want to say that to me diet, health and fitness it's all such a personal thing in my opinion because one diet can work fabulously for somebody and then just be horrible for someone else just not work. I also believe like skincare that your body gets used to whatever you're doing and sometimes you have to shake things up to get your body to respond just like your skin can get so used to what you're doing for skincare that you actually do have to shake it up to see changes again or to get into that right mode again if that kind of makes sense. So I've had these questions thrown at me on diet why have I stopped doing keto and I thought you know I probably addressed that in my previous video when I did the collab which I will link that video as well but I have a history of yo-yo dieting and I think I probably know my body better than you know anyone else does so not to rehash a whole long drawn out diet story. I'm sure many of you have been the same place that I have been. I've been up and down up and down and every time I go down and I lose when I fall off when I get trapped back into doing things I shouldn't do I have a hard time resetting myself I have a hard time finding my motivation once I lose it and then when I gain I gain more and faster. So anyways I did really well with keto I did really well with keto for a you know short period of time in the sense that in my opinion when you use the word keto many people use it wrong the ketogenic diet is very specific on what you can eat how much of it you can eat you count your macros your macro nutrients you calculate that to your body and in keto packaged foods fast food atkins bars so many things like that are not keto approved substitute sugars diet coke you know dietonic not keto approved so I was a pure keto person for a relatively short period of time I don't know maybe maybe a year you know I mean as pure as I could get I found it to be very very hard to be a true keto person that said I'm not good in the kitchen I'm not a cook I don't have a whole lot of an imagination when it comes to recipes so the women that I know that do keto really well do a lot of that they do a lot of meal prepping they cook naturally on their own they have a good imagination they can follow recipes they can do a whole lot of things that I can't do so I'm not naysaying keto I'm just saying for me it ultimately was too hard for me to follow so I went from keto to low carb I did low carb for a long time and over the course of my keto I lost a lot of weight I did get sick at the end I lost my gallbladder I hit a lot back to me I already talked about all of that and then when I kind of recovered I just stuck to a low carb lifestyle and my lifestyle is such that I never have or very rarely it's going to have to be a treat but in general when I go grocery shopping I I go around the store I don't go up and down the aisle so much I don't buy rice I don't buy pasta I don't buy bread I don't buy cereal I don't buy oatmeal I mean oatmeal is a very rare thing and my husband has it so I go around the store I literally do I buy good protein you know fish chicken I do when I'm going to have my beef it's the I have to have a rib eye if I'm going to have a steak it's a rib eye and I'm spoiled I do a lot of vegetables I do a lot of high fiber fruits so in my endeavor of the years that I have been low-carbing one thing that I realized is not every carb is a bad carb and it isn't so and your body needs to have my body my body needs to have a mixture of nutrients to feel good to look good to respond to be active and I found that denying myself all carbs but 20 grams for me for me not for you or anyone else was too hard too restrictive and for me it set me up for failure not only did I have some health ramifications hair other things that you know may or may not have been contributed to my diet but I think played some role at least in the hair but anyways I digress I don't want to go into that part of it but I the most important thing for me the thing that I have come to understand fully about myself and it's sad that it took this many years but the most important thing for me is the realization that calories for me do count I have to monitor my total caloric intake I just have to and I have to monitor my output in that sense like what am I how many calories am I burning and when I was pure keto I never counted calories and then when you get lazy you end up overeating you end up having too much fat too much beef too much protein at least I did and then when I was low carving strict low carving in the sense that I'd have 30 maybe 40 grams of carbohydrate carbohydrates a day I wasn't really counting my calories and so after a while I stopped losing weight I started to gain weight even though I was still low carving and what happened was I wasn't mindful of the calories in calories out it's going to be a whole lot of you that I'm not going to agree with me this is probably a very controversial diet video in that sense why did I stop keto you know that's my reasons I still low carb but if you put me next to a person that is a true low carb or they're going to say I have too many carbohydrates I probably do and with my current diet program that amount I do a two-day deep cleanse where I don't eat I mean it's like a two-day fast fast and I have small little nutrients that I'm allowed to have during that two-day period and then I have so far switched it up with two male replacements a day I'll tell you I I feel fabulous if I want to get rid of a bloat if I overate on something if I was bad I just know the next day I can make a tweak to my diet and I can get right back on program and I personally for me I love it I started my new diet which is a combination of the low carb I still have very low carb no bread no pasta nothing like that in the house no white stuff no flour but I do have fruits mostly they are strawberries blackberries blueberries raspberries berries but in the season I'm an apple fanatic honey crisp apples I had honey crisp apple today once they go by and I can't get any more fresh apples I won't have them so in the summertime or late summer when the corn is fresh I'm a corn snob I have to have corn on the cob I can't eat canned corn or frozen corn but fresh corn on the cob grilled on my my barbecue grill perfect so I do have more carbs than a traditional low-carb would allow however I think in general my carbs are you know on some days they're they could be as low as 40 and as high as 90 on some days and when I have a really bad cheat date their day they're much higher so when I started doing the male replacements and that's not for everybody either you know and it's not it's it's something that even when I get to the point where I'm at like where I'm at I can do one meal a day and then if I have to I just reset myself but currently doing a two-day cleanse every month seems to be my magic my magic pill I guess if you want to call it that I cannot tell you how good I feel and I've lost just about right now since the end of June about 24 pounds and it's kind of a slow loss but I love it I love it so I yeah keto just didn't work for me long-term I respect anyone that does keto I think it's great but I still believe fully in my heart you'll never convince me otherwise that's still calories in and calories out you have to monitor that you have to really be aware of that I had my blood work done last year when I wasn't on my male replacement when I was just trying to low carb and still high fat and all that my blood work this year compared to last year is phenomenal phenomenal I am excellent in every range that my doctor just couldn't couldn't believe it so you know knock on wood that that stays that way but and at this point in time I'm cresting on to 25 pounds since the end of June I've been on two vacations I've been to a convention in Boston I've not felt deprived I've had my cheats I go out on a date night I you know I live a good happy balanced life I can eat an apple I could go have a corner on the car I can have fruit uh you know I can I mean I can have things that I normally when I was keto I would never have or when I was strict low carb I wouldn't have so but everyone's a different phase in their life and this is where I'm at now this is my diet update I love love love what I do is it cheap and free no but I also know me which might not apply to you if when I have some skin in the game I work really hard at it you know you know what I mean by skin in the game I mean I pay for products I pay for male replacement I love the ingredients I love the balance of it I pay for all that so when it's just like when you go to a training program and I struggle with this at work I put on a training program it's free I have some people that will just blow it off because they have no skin in the game so when you pay for something I believe you work really hard at it I want to make this go I find that this lifestyle that I'm living my diet if you want to call it that is a super wicked easy lifestyle for me super wicked easy really and I know now I sound like I'm a Boston East Coaster well I am guys wicked wicked but yeah it is it is really super easy and it is something I I can live with and I'm happy happy happy happy with my results I really am and I I'm going to try to do these regularly updates monthly I'm not going to try to convince anyone to not do what they're doing hey you know if it's working whatever you're doing is working weight washers high fat low fat low calorie high calorie doesn't matter if it's working for you I'm with you all the way I'm just doing something that's working for me and it's working for me on my terms and I don't feel deprived and my skin looks pretty good my face you know I can see the weight loss in my face I can see it in my tummy I can see it in my my boobs oh probably get to monetized but yeah I can see my weight loss but I you know when I have a very jolly face so you know my face is not firm it is droopy so you know trying to do face exercise just to kind of prevent it but I don't know if that's going to work I just know right now that health wise I am I am far healthier than I have been for the last several years and I'm not talking about when I was fat fat fat I'm talking about when I started to lose weight I'm healthier now blood work wise a heart rate I'm healthier than I was in my keto days in my pure low carb days I'm healthier now I feel it and people around me are noticing it and people around me are commenting and these are people in my real life so it's working for me and that's my update I'll do another one in a month maybe in a month from now I'll have hit you know 25 or whatever ultimately my goal is 30 and I have not even really started to work out I want to work out I want to lift weights I want to get myself back into some sort of a maybe spin class or get on that elliptical behind me which I haven't gotten on and God knows how long but anyway so I'm rambling as usual I hope I address your questions I didn't stop doing keto because I'm against keto I didn't I stopped doing keto because it didn't work for me I stopped being a pure low-cover because it didn't work for me ultimately meal replacements nutritional balance having good carbs because I really believe not all carbs are bad but having those good carbs and eating more of a rounder nutritional program balanced meal for me makes all the difference so that's it guys I thank you so much for watching I thank you so much all the time for all your support all your comments liking the video supporting me supporting the channel and just being my friend you guys are just awesome you're all my friends and I appreciate every single one of you bye guys


Deep neural networks, DNNs, have been shown to be more accurate than traditional methods when predicting electricity consumption. This study compares the accuracy of DNNs against shallow neural networks, SNNs, double-seasonal halt winters, DSHW models, and autoregressive integrated moving average, ARIMA, models. The results showed that DNNs outperformed all other models, reducing the mean absolute 0.2% error, MAPE, and relative root mean square error, ARIMA-C, by up to 17% and 22%, respectively.

But here's a reality check with Michael Jordan. Do you know what his record was in the playoffs before Scotty Pippen arrived? Oh, I do one in nine swept flights. Three quarters of the season, as Boston was struggling, I still was like, look, Milwaukee, Toronto, Boston are all on the same level. He seemed to be getting the same calls in the regular season on the three-pointers. In this game, early, he didn't. Chris Broussard here and welcome to the brand new Hoops on Fox podcast. This podcast will give you your daily dose of all things NBA from Fox Sports, including the best content from Skip and Shannon, Nick Wright, plus special guests, fresh NBA content from myself, post-game interviews from NBA stars around the league, and much, much more. Up first, Chris Broussard joined Skip and Shannon to break down the Celtics' game one thumping of the Bucks. Chris, you have been high on the Bucks all season long. We haven't forgotten, so how much trouble is Milwaukee in? Well, as somebody who picked them in six in this series, they're in more trouble than I expected. I'll tell you that. Look, all season long, well, for three quarters of the season, as Boston was struggling, I still was like, look, Milwaukee, Toronto, Boston are all on the same level. Here are them could win the East and then toward the end of the season, like the last month when Boston didn't turn it around, still had their problems. I wrote them off. I said, they can't beat Milwaukee or Toronto. Now Boston has apparently flipped the switch, and this is the team that most people expected to see throughout the season. And I think they're capable of beating Milwaukee, Toronto, Houston. I'm not sure yet about Golden State, but I think they're right there with those teams. Now I'm not saying they will beat those teams, but they're capable. I'm still with Milwaukee. I still feel good about them. But this is gut check time for Yanis Adedicumpo and Mike Budenholz. Both of them. Yanis is probably going to be the MVP. He was my vote. And this game yesterday kind of reminded me in a different way, obviously, of game two with Kevin Durant and Patrick Beverly. How Beverly did this incredible job guarding him. And it looked like he had really found out an answer to stop Kevin Durant. Now Kevin Durant answered in a big way. He obviously since then he's been off the charts. Let's see if Yanis can do that. Now in fairness to him, he didn't get any help. Not from his other starters, Brooke Lopez, Eric Bledsoe, Sterling Brown. They were like three for 17 combined. Didn't produce any points. Middleton didn't have this usual type of game with only 16 points. The bench gave him something, but he's going to need more from his other guys. Budenholz are as well. He was out coached. And Budenholz is probably going to be coached a year. The coaches voted him coached a year. He again got my vote. But Brad Stevens out coached him yesterday. When the opponent comes into your building and shoots 54%. You are the best defense in the league. They made some adjustments. You just stood pat and didn't. And now it's time for Budenholz to make the adjustments. Remember a few years ago when Atlanta won 60. And then the Cavs swept them. And we gave Budenholz and I think rightly a pass because he didn't have stars. Obviously the Cavs had LeBron and Kyrie and all that. He won't get a pass this time. You've got the star in Yanis. I think the talent is close. Maybe you give Boston a slight edge, maybe. But the talent is close. So it's gut check time for those two guys. And obviously game two is a must win. I agree. You hate to say they're in trouble. They go down 0-2 there in big trouble. They'll probably get swept. Skip, Yanis, and this is the reason why when I look at Yanis, he has to take another step. Because if he couldn't get to the rim, you see what happened. They forwarded him off. They say, you're not getting to the rim. And when he got to the rim, Al Horford says, I'm challenging everything. If you put me on a poster, you put me on a poster. But I'm not giving you any dunks without you being challenged. And all of a sudden, now you're looking at him. He's 7-21. And like I said, you're going to have to trust. Well, how am I going to trust Brooke Lopez, Sterling Brown, Eric Bledsoe. They 3-17 with 12 points. I can't trust that. I needed Milton to give me a little more. Because the Celtics got great contribution. They got Jason Tatum didn't play particularly well. Al Horford was magnificent yesterday. Kyrie was Kyrie. Jaylen Brown. Gordon Hay was stepped up Terry Rogier. The guys that the Celtics were counting on, they showed up and they showed out. Especially Al Horford. Al Horford on the defensive end skill, he's this, I believe he's the second best player. He's the second most important player. Because the pick and pop, he can pick and roll. He sets very good screens. And he's a very, very good defender. As Giannis, is he a very good defender? He was fantastic. Because that's what teams have been doing. They've been putting their big guy on Giannis, daring him to shoot from outside. Where they put Rudy Gaubert, he goes by Rudy Gaubert Dunks it. They put Joel and Bede on him. He up fakes Joel and Bede, he goes by him and dunk. Al Horford said, nah, I ain't taking the bait. Go ahead, if you want to shoot them three, have at them. Because I don't believe you're Steph Curry.  They got the work cut out. They better not lose this next one, Chris. They lose this next one, somebody's gonna be in a heap of trouble. And Giannis, you know, hey Giannis, you might want to rethink that. Because you lose this next game, you'll have plenty of time to film with LeBron James. God, you won't be busy. Space Jam 2 is back on the table. He does not do Hollywood. Hey, and clearly he don't win playoff games either. So if you don't win this game, He shall see. You lose game two, skim balers. Hey LeBron, Giannis will be joining you. So my first takeaway from after the game was, suddenly Kyrie Irving is happy. He's just happy. He's so happy. This could throw a monkey rich in some offices and plans, right? He's happy. He's feeling great. He's happy with his teammates and his teammates are probably like grudgingly happy with him because he's really playing and he had a career high, 11s, 6s, way to go. And my other takeaway was, I've told you from the start, I just need to see Giannis do it at the highest level. And this is not the highest, but it's pretty high. These are home games after you swept a team, you should have swept, but these are home games against a legitimate contender. And you came up small yesterday in the double block. He didn't play 6-11. No, he did not, but that was the double block by Orford. But they were both bad ideas from Giannis. You can't just shoot it right in his face. Cause the first one was right in his face and he ate that one. If we can see it and then he, I think it's coming later. Whoops. That's another one. He may see like Al Horford 6-4, Al Horford 6-10. Giannis doesn't have tremendous moves cause he hadn't had to at that height. So the Celtics blocked 11 shots yesterday. Jason Tatum, Marcus Smart and Al Horford each blocked three shots. That's a lot of blocking going on in the house of blocks. Where Giannis usually just terrorizes the visiting team. And again, Giannis had by far the worst plus minus on the floor. He was a minus 24 and he didn't get much help. But again, they're all waiting for him to go and then they feed off him. They've been feeding off him all year. Did they miss Malcolm Brogdon? Yes, they do because he is a hellacious perimeter defender. Just a tough guy. Is he gonna make it back this series? They say shooting, I don't know. It sounds iffy whether he's gonna be able to play and they're going to need him because once Boston lost Marcus Smart it somehow clarified the rotation. All of a sudden it all fell into place the way it wasn't before. Listen, Terry Rozier comes off the bench just lighten it up. He had nine rebounds yesterday. That's just, you know, every time he comes in I'm like, he can play. And we saw he could play last year. And somehow he and Kyrie have kind of made peace with their minutes and the threat factor both ways. So all of a sudden, like you said, switch got flipped. And I would expect Milwaukee to win game two but they have to win game two. This is do or die. You hate saying the game two is a must win but it's a must win on your home court. You know what, when I listen to Kyrie the thing that I love about Kyrie and what I'm starting to see, I see growth. Because he knows, he said it, I can get my shot anytime. I can get whatever I want. I can get anywhere I want. If I want to get to the rim, I can get there. If I want to pull up in the mid-range, I can get there. If I want to shoot the three, I can get there. It's all about not alienating. So he has to find the fine line. Do I go take over? And then these guys don't have a rhythm. It was like, okay, I got going early. Okay, now let me get my guys a rhythm. They need me again. Let me get going again. Okay, now let me find my rhythm because 11 assists, Kyrie, 11 assists. What I see in Kyrie is I've been watching this all year. He really is following in LeBron James' footsteps. Like during the regular season there was drama. A lot of it created by him, right? And then compose season, flip a switch, everything's good. And now they're rolling. He really seems to be following in LeBron's footsteps. He does. And now the two besties, Kyrie and KD, are both very happy all of a sudden, right? And they're both dominating at the same time. I don't know if that speaks well for them to stay or... Listen, if they both go somewhere together, they're going to take this league over. Good question. And look, Kyrie, I hope just for as a fan, I would love to see KD and Kyrie go to New York. But Kyrie's in a great... You know what, I would too. Just for the league, it'd be great. And it was spread out the talent on that. But Kyrie is in a phenomenal situation. Phenomenal. I mean, you got a great organization, a great supporting cast, great coach.  And they probably get Anthony Davis if he stays. Like, it'd be a lot for him to leave. KD, I just think Golden State, I think this might be their last run, just because of the mental. It's mentally taxing to keep going to the finals. But we'll see. Isn't that wild though that we're talking about one game and the whole regular season was kind of a disaster for the Celtics? Yet now they figured it out. Right. And he said they would. Well, this is why, with Milwaukee, why I picked Toronto to beat them in the conference finals. We'll see if they get there, but because of the lack of experience. None of these guys, none of them have this type of experience. So let's see how they... And you're gonna understand, Toronto, you saw what that old boy... Ooh! Boy, that no more. Oh, see, I don't know. I know they miss him down south. Yeah, I know they would. The first of all, there would not have been a game seven. Right. There wouldn't have been a seven scene. No! Well, who knows that he would have even played? Oh, he's playing. All he's gotta do is let him miss 20 games. Wait, it took him two years to get healthy just recently. He finally said I'm healthy now. He ain't fully healthy yet. He's still missed 20 games. Oh, really? But them other 62 that he played. Well, I'm here to tell Chris Bressard the bucks are done. Oh, they're done.  Oh, yeah. Done. They're just done. So they're gonna get swept? They won't get swept. I expect them to win two, but they're not gonna win three or four. So you give them five? I just think the Celtics have, it's just some mindset. It's just, we're the Celtics and you're not. I got another case of do, they don't lose in five. I think the bucks stop here. I got a case of do, they don't lose in five. Well, to your point, Tatum struggled. So they can even look at that and say, we didn't even get a good game out of Tatum. I'll take Boston right now for a case. Just straight up for a case. You do it? Oh, they got a one game lead.  Okay. Well, you love Milwaukee. I'll take Toronto right now for a case. Oh, wow. That's going way out on the line. But you want to take both. I'll both like Philly, right? Joe L and B. They done? Joe L paying 12 minutes a night. He came home. I know for a fact, he should not even be playing Joe L and B. It should not be playing right now. So they got no shot without him. No. And this is what Horford, remember Horford did a great job on MB last year in the playoffs. That guy's a great defender. Smart. That's my new fave. We got a different game to talk about. Really? Did you say new fave? Really? He in my five. Faster. He's just saying. You said new fave. Number one. No, no, no, no, no. He in my five. I'm just asking. You know, T-Mobile got that fave.  He's in your new fave. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I was just clarifying. He's in your five. You were right. I was right. He said new fave. He's jumped completely off that bandwagon. He is. Out of sight. Out of line. Rod ain't going nowhere. That is true. He's going nowhere. Rod ain't going nowhere.  Yeah. Okay. Next, Nick and Cece examine the non-calls and game one of the Rockets Warriors. All right, Cece, is James Harden right to be upset with the officiating in this game? Well, the officiating was not consistent. You know, typically you listen to referees that are part of the shows and part of the telecast and they talk about there is no regular season and post-season refereeing. And that's just not true. They can't admit it to the public, but the style for which they're going to play, how NBA players play defense in the post-season is totally different. And the refs typically call it. Now, as far as the three-point shooting, we saw last year, Harden didn't get as many calls in the playoffs as he did during the regular season. Thus far, he seemed to be getting the same calls in the regular season on the three-pointers. In this game early, he didn't. And if you look at late in the game, the last one with Dreymont, I thought Dreymont could have gone to the side. Harden was going a little more forward and forced his legs into Dreymont, but that's at the end of the game. And they hadn't called that on Clay Thompson and a couple other warriors during the game. So typically as a player, you say, okay, the referee is going to be consistent throughout the game. So at the end of the game, he shouldn't have expected that call, but how they called the three-point shooting, not letting the Rockets land was a huge advantage for the warriors in this game. And it was totally different than what they had called during the regular season against Harden and other jump shooters. And when you saw the coach and Chris Paul and James Harden after the game, their frustrations boil over. The context here matters. You know how we get those end-of-game final two-minute reports? Well, the individual teams can get those reports for the full 48 minutes. And in last year's Western Conference finals, the Warriors got the officiating edge according to the NBA's own data in six of the seven games. The Warriors were plus over 90 points in the Western Conference finals that went to seven games last year and had an enormous edge in games five, six, and seven. So that was the Rockets feeling when they didn't win last season. Then do you remember this year? To play in January 3rd Rockets Warriors when Kevin Durant is five steps out of bounds. Probably the worst missed call in the season all year. Now the Rockets end up winning on a wild James Harden 3, but that still happened. And now, first half, first game, your whole season been building to this. And the refs tell you, we missed at least four of them. That was 10 free throws, not 12, because one of them Harden made the three. That's 10 free throws the Rockets were deprived of what the rules say they should have gotten. And there's an element of C, are the officials different in the postseason or are they just older? Because one of the things Houston believes is, and they think they have the data to back it up, is the officials who had been in the league longer to where this was not a point of emphasis, the landing space are less likely to call it than the younger officials. In the playoffs, you get veteran officiating crew, crews and they seem to be going against it. But whatever the reason, the Rockets have now played eight critical postseason games last year against the Warriors. And the Warriors have got a clear and obvious edge in the officiating in seven of the eight in a series that you said it when you walked in this morning. It's a missed opportunity for Houston. A win there would have been enormous. And they should have, I don't want to say expected it, but given how Steph played, given how Clay played, given that the Warriors had less than 48 hours rest, they could have won that game and stolen home court advantage. And they feel like the refs took that opportunity from him. One point against that argument is that the refs in game admitted to the coaches and the players. So they're the same older refs. They admitted during the game that they had missed the calls. If it was after the game and they had missed those calls and the refs hadn't said anything, then I might be able to look back to the theory of all, well, maybe it's the older refs because this is a rule that's been in the last couple of post seasons. No, so the thing, it was a great opportunity. And that's one part of the game. Golden State and how they played basketball too, that should be part of the conversation too. Because the refs didn't take the game away. It's just one of the storylines looking to the result with Golden State not playing a great game, Steph being injured, Clay being injured, and then be able to summon up some type of strength, less than 48 hours after clenching against the Clippers in L.A. to be able to get named game number one. That should be the storyline because I believe that game number one, you know, to steal a win, Golden State, I believe will be the difference in the series. This is the way the Rockets play. This is what they count on. They count on being able to make that shot and to get that call. If the refs don't change the way they're calling this series, do the Rockets have a chance? Well, if the refs started ignoring the rule on Fallon three-point shooters, no, the Rockets will be in real, real trouble. I mean, they, you can't, I think everyone believes this is going to be a very close series or it has the potential to be a very close series. And if you're talking about the Rockets believe last night, they missed eight of these foul calls. The refs reportedly admitted to missing four in the first half. If you're talking about taking away 15 to 20 free throw opportunities, then no, nobody would be able to overcome that.  Last year, the NBA apologized for the game five officiating and then the Warriors had the edge in game six. They apologized for both of those and then the Warriors had the biggest edge of the series in game seven. During that 0 for 27 streak, there were multiple times that the NBA's own data says, oh, they fouled them on a three-point shot. And so this just, it's just, what's so odd to me is, you would think if there would be any team that wouldn't get the benefit of the doubt from the officials. It would be Golden State with the way they treat the officials with Draymond and Katie's technicals, but that hasn't been the case when these two teams have been had to head. I'll say this again, the refs were part of the storyline, but they had nothing to do with Clint Compella. Why he didn't show up to the game, had nothing to do with PJ Tucker. Why he has 0 for four and 39 minutes of playing got zero points. So yeah, we can sit here and blame it on the ref seven to eight line, but in this game, the Rockets had a chance to win the game on the court. Harden had the ball in his hand. He decides to take a three-pointer, contested by Draymond. He didn't have to take that three-pointer. He could have taken it to the bucket. There was still time to build like, or if he's the MVP of the league, he can also make that shot. He'll call that a good shot. That was a better look than Damien Lillard had to knock down the bill to get them to the bill to advance. So I think there was still more opportunities and more with the X's and O's and what they didn't do. And the Warriors starting making a lineup adjustment, putting the Hampton five, starting them out there. That was just as important. If you want to talk about the referee and there's other things we should be able to talk about which led the Warriors getting game number one. There's no doubt that the Rockets officiating a side are gonna look at the missed corner threes, PJ Tucker and others, the inefficiency from what is PJ Tucker, but also Daniel House when he had his opportunities. Emon Schumper getting a bigger role because Austin Rivers was out. Clint Capella not being able to take advantage of the size mismatch. He took two shots. Right, like when they start the Hampton's five, you would think that hardened pick and roll lob would be there, it wasn't there the entire game. And Gerald Green played seven minutes and the Rockets were outscored by 16 points in the seven minutes he was on the court. They maybe should have learned the lesson from last year's playoffs against this team. Gerald Green's a tough matchup against Golden State so they had other opportunities but all those things not withstanding, this is now a theme for them going on the second straight year in the playoffs against this team. Now Rick Bueger joins Jason McIntyre to go over their current top 10 players in the NBA. Does this series, and I know it's just four, five games, does it cement Damia Lillard as a top 10 player in the NBA?  You know what, he's the best point guard I've ever seen. He's amazing. All right, Rick, 20 second time I'll hold on. A lot of people are gonna vote him as second team all NBA point guard, right? Yeah. That would put him in the top 10. If you're looking at Curry and Harden as the first team, Kairi and Dame as the second team. No, no, because it's position, it's position. He can be the third or fourth best guard or point guard and not necessarily be a top 10 player. I'll press you on it. Especially because if you're looking at guys like Kevin Durant and Kawhi and Yanis and you've got any number of point forwards that are going to be in that top 10. So let's quickly rattle through it, okay? Yanis, we both have top 10. James Harden, top 10, Kevin Durant. Oh, top 10. Steph Curry. Yes. LeBron. Yes. Okay, so that's five. Yes. Kawhi Leonard. Let's put him to the side right now. Okay, I haven't topped that up. Oh, you know what, I take that back. Put him in. Kairi Irving would be seven. Put him in. Okay, now we're getting down to what I think is the tough area. Yes. Paul George is probably gonna be the third. He's in. Okay, he's in. Joellen B. I have him in. Oh. You taking Joellen B to build your team around over Damian Lillard? I know it's simply kind of a different question, but in a guard wing league. Yes, but there's so much that Joellen B can do. He has range. My greatest concern about building around Joellen B and somehow, how did we go from our top 10 to guys that we would build around? Or we say- Yeah, okay, well that's a top 10. I mean, there's a distinction. Yeah, no, no. Because this is the thing that Philadelphia's gonna have to face. Ben Simmons and Joellen Bede cannot coexist on a championship team. We agree on that, right? You're gonna have to make a decision between those two. If it's talent, there's no question. Joellen Bede is the guy that I keep and I move Ben Simmons. But there's a big one there. There's the health factor. I don't know.  Exactly, can I count on that? But if it's just a matter of talent, when you're the best player at your position and he is, when healthy, the best player at his position. I think I hear somebody at the door. Anthony Davis is knocking. What? He wants to know how you do not have three time all NBA first team player, Anthony Davis, who a year ago, first team all NBA, first team all defense. And now Anthony Davis, because he missed like 26 games, he's chop livering. Which year are we talking about the best 26 games? Because he's missed a lot of games, a lot of seasons. He's had some injury issues. You've gotta have him top 10. No, I've always had this issue with, AD is not in my top 10. AD might not be in my top 15. I am not. All right, do we have to stop down here? I mean, come on, Anthony Davis not top 15. Talent-wise, and this is kind of the distinction when we get into the Damian Lillard conversation, because there are so many intangibles that Damian brings to the table. His leadership, his dedication to the trailblazers, and I know that sounds kind of quaint. That's important right now. But the fact of the matter is, like he's brought that team together, and this goes back to his AAU days. He was on the Oakland Rebels. They were the team that wasn't sponsored. They were the team that had to have bake sales and sell beef jerky, and they had to do all kinds of things to scrounge up the money to go to tournaments. The Oakland soldiers were the team that they were the Nike sponsor team. LeBron came in and played for them. You remember Leon Powell? Yes, yes, yes. I remember him covering high school basketball back in the day. Exactly. Now Damian will tell you the soldiers didn't want him. The soldiers will say, no, Damian could have come played for us, but he didn't want to. Nobody wanted him. We were state, yeah. Bottom line is he stayed with the Rebels and they eventually played a tournament where they beat the soldiers. He stayed with the group of his friends that he grew up playing with. And he's always had that mentality that, you know what, if I stay loyal, if we stay together, our continuity and our dedication to each other will trump pure talent. So what we saw and what we've seen with these trailblazers is something that Damian Lillard has basically built his entire career on. And that's where, that's one of those intangibles that when you get to the NBA, it's still about talent. It can't quantify that, really. Yeah, physicality, about all those. Let me add one quick note. So I do have Dame Top 10. I would take him over Kawhi Leonard right now. I think he's got that killer mentality at the end of the game. Well, you think Kawhi doesn't? I don't know that he does. He played with the Spurs, where he was second banana to Tim Duncan. He played with the greatest coach. I need to see what he does in the Sixer series. I'm discounting New Orlando Magic, who tried to defend him with Jonathan. Well, he's gonna, he's gonna. Aaron Gordon, like. No. Jimmy Butler Kawhi Leonard's gonna be a show next round. I like Butler a lot. I would put him in contention for Top 10, Jimmy Butler. Yeah, the first round matchups.  Yes. A great deal. And Kawhi Leonard has eaten Ben Simmons' lunch. Ben Simmons is 22, Rick. Come on, let's see. I'm a big Simmons guy, but one last point. But that's where Kawhi is good. Kawhi is good as a, he's a great two-way player. My concern with him is not that he's not a closer. I think he's happy to have the ball at the end and take the shot. It's that does he make everybody better? Is he a playmaker? Or is he really kind of an isolationist, where if I tell him to stop this guy, he can stop that guy. If I tell him to go score on this guy, he can score on this guy. But if I ask him to blend what you're doing with the rest of the team, can he do that? Because he started his career as a blender in San Antonio. Let me just remind everybody, Anthony Davis, a year ago at this time, swept Damien Lillard out. Now he had help from Holiday.    It was Damien Lillard against Yusuf Nurchkitsch, all right? And the difference in that series was Rajan Rondo and Drew Holliday swallowed up CJ McCollum and Damien Lillard. And CJ McCollum and Damien Lillard came back this year and said, we have a problem playing against big guards. I mean, let's be honest, I am not giving that series to AD. AD was not the difference maker in fact, Holiday was tremendous. This year, you know who the best player on that team was? Even when AD was there, you know who it was. You know who it was. Julie, don't tell me you're gonna say Julius Randall. No, no, no, no. Just make it, sir. No, okay. Mr. Holliday, yeah. He was phenomenal. Yes, he was, at the end of games, you talk about being a closer. That's my problem with AD. AD, talent-wise, I would agree with you. Is he a top 10 talent? Yes, because he's a great two-way player, athletically, but I'm putting him in that tracing the Grady camp of a guy who is a phenomenal talent as a basketball player. 26. But at this point, he still doesn't know to how to apply. I can see the headlines now. Rick Buke, Anthony Davis is not a top 15 player, woof. Following, Colin Coward explains why Yanis needs the help before he can be a championship contender. My favorite NBA reality check for all the Michael Jordan worshipers out there. Many of you in your 20s and 30s didn't even watch him play live. I saw every series and every playoff game he ever played. He's the greatest player probably in league history. LeBron, I think at his prime was close. I think Magic in his prime was very close. But here's a reality check with Michael Jordan. Do you know what his record was in the playoffs before Scottie Pippen arrived? Oh, I do one and nine swept twice. What up, bro? Doesn't fall in line with all your MJ worship. One and nine. He was crappy in the playoffs. Swept twice. Because what we do in basketball, especially the NBA, we glom on to the star and we think the star decides everything. If that was the case, then Kevin Durant would have won the West every single year. But his number two was unreliable, Westbrook. And LeBron has only had great success when he's got an all-star as his number two, Kairi Wader Bosch. Michael Jordan didn't do anything in this league except score. He didn't do anything in the postseason until he got Scottie Pippen, one of the best 50 players of all time. We pay attention to the one and the ones are key, but ones don't win in this league without a two. It's why I never bought into Denver, why I think the Raptors have limitations and why I didn't buy into Milwaukee over Boston. I'll take Boston narrowly. If you look at the greatest team in league history, it's probably the Bulls in 95. The second best player was Pippen, a top 50 player. Second best team I've ever seen is the Warriors. Their second best player, Steph Curry, the only unanimous MVP in league history. The third best team I've ever seen, maybe the second best is the Showtime Lakers. Magic, the second best player was Kareem, probably the best center in league history. By the way, Shaq and Kobe is probably the third or fourth best team I've ever seen. Whichever you preferred, it was a Hall of Famer, was the second best player. The Milwaukee Bucks second best player is Chris Middleton. He's a hard worker and a good kid, but he played college for three years. Translation, it's not that gifted. Then he went to the NBA, rookie year averaged six points and was demoted to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. He has become a very good player, but if he's your number two, if he's your Pippen, if he's your Kobe, if he's your Steph, you're not winning the title. And I don't think you're winning this series. Now Boston doesn't have a dominating number two either, but let's just for the sake of argument, take Jason Tatum. Jason Tatum was a high school All-American and then a college All-American and only had to play one year of college at the best program Duke. And then NBA people said, get out of college. You're too good. Oh, and then as a rookie made the All-Rookie team and in the playoffs was actually shockingly good as a rookie. He didn't get demoted to the Fort Wayne Mad Ants. Now he's not one of the stronger twos in NBA history, but he has a transformational basketball talent who's still a baby. Now you can argue Al Horford's a two and Gordon Hayward's a two or Jason Tatum's a two. I would say Tatum is their second best basketball talent. That's why I think this is a close series. The Houston Rockets number two player is a nine-time All-Star in a first ballot hall of famer, Chris Paul. And why the Warriors are gonna win their number two is Steph Curry. Maybe the most transformational basketball player of my life outside of LeBron Magic and MJ. Nothing against Chris Middleton, but the reason I took Boston in this series was their two is a four or at best a three Chris Middleton. I like him. He's not a two. Jason Tatum has Knights. He's an absolute two. And I think longterm, he's absolutely a two. He didn't play particularly well in game one, but we spend so much time looking at the one. Kevin Durant got the one finals in the West before Golden State, because he and the two didn't work. Look at the dynasty in our lifetimes. One of them, Spurs. Tony Parker was an MVP candidate and he was a two to Duncan. Then they switched. Then Duncan was the two and was the first Ball Hall famer. I can remember watching Larry Bird have back-to-back playoff games where he scored eight points, but they had a two named Kevin McHale who could score 24. It's not just about the one. Denver doesn't have Jamal Murray dependable two. Chris Middleton should be a three or a four. They're not championship teams. Now I don't think Boston has the best two in the world, but he is an absolutely elite basketball talent who the reason Jason Tatum is not a one, he's too inconsistent. But on the night he's good. Oh, he's really good. Thank you for listening to the Hoops on Fox podcast. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a five star review letting us know what you think of the show.


Activity for teaching future tenses in the ESL classroom, something that will have been continuing up to a point in the future. The future perfect continuous describes actions that will continue up until a point in the future. The activity will have begun sometime in the past, present, or in the future, and is expected to continue in the future. When we use this, we're projecting ourselves forward in time and looking back. It's certainly challenging to teach, and you're unlikely to teach it to any students below intermediate level as an EFL teacher. This isn't a blog to teach grammar, but an example that you might relate to is. I will have been teaching EFL for four months by the time I moved to Vietnam. This doesn't tell us when the action of teaching started in relation to now. When combined with still, the future continuous refers to events that are already happening now, and that we expect to continue sometime into the future. For example, I'll still be paying for my house when I'm 60 years old. As so often is the case, the simplest activities are the most effective even with the more difficult teaching points. Set students up in small groups, and give them two stacks of cards with prompts, time markers and verbs. Alternatively you could make some cardboard dice and put the same information on the faces. Students either pick up a card from each stack or roll the two dice, and make sentences using the prompts. This can be made more fun by setting it up as a tennis relay game, whereby the last student to speak is the winner of each round, as long as they haven't repeated something that has already been said, or made an inaccurate sentence. For example, this time next year, I will have been living with my partner for 18 months by this time next year. Thanks so much for watching.
