Waching daily Oct 2 2018

on today's episode we're gonna talk about how to play basketball

welcome to x-ray basketball the show that takes a deeper look into basketball

I'm coach Logan and on this channel we provide an opportunity for coaches and

players to improve their knowledge and understanding in the game of basketball

through game film Before we jump into the video we want to let you know that

we've actually created a free document that you can download in the description

down below inside this free download is a complete breakdown of everything that

we talked about in this video plus a few bonus items once you've got your free

download follow along as we talk about how to play basketball as we step into

the x-ray so the first thing we're gonna look at is basic passing passing is when

you throw the ball from one teammate to the other the goal of passing is to move

the ball quickly trying to find a teammate that is not guarded passing is

an important skill for all basketball players to have because it's one of the

hardest things to guard in all of these clips the ball is moving faster in the

air then the defense can run on the ground this is why passing is such an

advantage for the offense sharing the basketball quickly with teammates can

force the defense to move out of position in return giving the team with

the ball an advantage or an open shot

the throw ahead pass is meant to beat a defense down the floor before they are

set to defend the basket it's important for the player with the ball to pick

their head up and look down the court to find an open teammate if you have an

open teammate ahead of the ball and ahead of the defense a throw ahead

pass can lead to easy shots

the next pass we're gonna look at is the skip pass instead of the pass being up

the court from one end to the other it's now across the court from one side to

the other side this can be a very effective pass if the defense is out of

position and leaning to one side of the court oftentimes the defense will turn

their head towards the ball and lose sight of offensive players that are

behind them

another way of sharing the basketball is called a dribble handoff two teammates

will still share the basketball in a dribble handoff but instead of a

traditional pass the ball handler will dribble towards a teammate in either

handing off or tossing the ball to them this is a good way of getting the ball

to a teammate who is guarded closely or if you want to create an advantage for

the offense now let's talk about moving without the basketball and the first

move we'll look at is the basket cut the basket cut is when an offensive player

without the basketball cuts or runs to their basket this cut or

move can catch a defense out of position and lead to the cutter receiving the

ball or even an open shot the next cut is the flash cut here an offensive

player cuts towards a teammate in possession of the basketball this flash

cut can make you an outlet for a teammate in possession of the basketball

that may have limited options now let's talk about screening screening is using

your body position to help a teammate get open the first screen we're gonna

look at is the down screen the screener are setting a down screen we'll start at

the top of the court then step down towards a teammate using their body as a

barrier between your teammates defender it's important to hold your position and

not move during the screen moving during the screen is considered illegal and

will be called an offensive foul a back screen is similar to a down screen

except the action now starts from the bottom of the court moving up towards

the top here the screener steps up towards a teammate allowing him to get

open for a shot

another common screening action is the cross screen often called a flex screen

because of its use in the Flex offense a cross screen can catch a defense out of

position while sending a teammate towards the basket the final screen

we'll talk about is the ball screen commonly called a pick-and-roll this

screen involves a screener and the teammate with the basketball like all of

the previous screens the screener uses their body as a barrier between the

defense and their teammate with the basketball

this ball screen is one of the hardest screens to defend and commonly forces

the defense in tough positions defenses that don't communicate well during ball

screens can become out of position and leave offensive players open offensive

players with the ball in their hand have the opportunity to drive to the basket

this dribble drive action can produce a direct path to the basket for the ball

handler

a defensive foul is when an offensive player is hit in an illegal manner by

the opposing team if this offensive player is fouled while attempting to

shoot a two-point shot they are awarded two free-throws the same for if they

were attempting a three-point shot they would be awarded three free-throws and a

free throw is a rewarded opportunity for an offensive player that was fouled by a

defensive player the player that was fouled will step to the free-throw line

and shoot one free-throw at a time each free-throw counting for one point an

offensive rebound is when a team in possession of the ball attempts a shot

misses but a member of that shooting team gains possession of the basketball

this often provides an opportunity for the offensive team to get another shot

if a shot bounces off the backboard or the rim and a teammate tips it back in

this also counts as an offensive rebound and a made field goal now let's switch

gears and talk about defense we just talked about offensive rebounding but

the defense can also gain rebounds too if the team with the ball attempts a

shot and misses at the basket and the opposing team gains the ball this is

considered a defensive rebound a defensive rebound is often a change in

possession of the ball from one team to the other one of the best ways to get in

position for a defensive rebound is called a box out similar to using your

body for a screen a box out is when a defender uses their body to keep an

offensive player away from the ball during a shot upon gaining possession

this defenders awarded a defensive rebound a deflection is often the result

of an active defender using their hands or body to get in the way of a pass

sometimes these deflections can lead to the ball going out of bounds and the

offense maintains possession but must restart their offense

other times the deflection might actually lead to a change of possession

where a defense earns the ball this turnover of possession from an

offensive player to a defensive player is called a steal in these clips you'll

see a defensive player chase down the basketball and earned possession of it

many times these steals by the defense can lead to quick changes of possession

and open shots

a loose ball is when the possession of the basketball is no longer maintained

by the offense or the defense these loose ball opportunities may be a result

of a mistake by an offensive player or deflections and other actions by the

defensive player both offensive and defensive players have an equal

opportunity to gain possession on a loose ball

next we'll look at a blocked shot this happens when an offensive player

attempts to shoot the basketball and a defensive player knocks it away with

their hand this defensive action can stop players from scoring and can lead

to offensive or defensive rebounds depending on which team gains possession

another way to stop an offensive player is to take a charge a charge is awarded

to a defensive player who is in legal position and is then struck by the

offensive player the offensive player is given an offensive foul and the

defensive player who took the charge will earn possession of the basketball

Jose Mourinho confirms four Manchester United absentees for Valencia clash | News Now - Duration: 1:44.

Jose Mourinho has confirmed that Marcos Rojo, Ander Herrera, Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard

are all unavailable for Manchester United's clash with Valencia.

The Red Devils started their Champions League campaign with a convincing 3-0 victory over

Young Boys, but the side's form away from Europe has put Mourinho under intense pressure.

United were eliminated from the Carabao Cup and are without a Premier League win since

that trip to Switzerland, and Mourinho revealed more bad news following Saturday's 3-1 defeat

to West Ham.

Young, who captained United versus the Hammers, picked up an injury at the London Stadium,

and will not feature at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening.

Antonio Valencia and Diogo Dalot are battling for a place in Mourinho's starting XI to

replace the England left-back.

Mourinho told MUTV ahead of United's encounter with Valencia: 'Apart from Marcos Rojo,

now we have Ander Herrera, Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard out,' 'I prefer the doctor

to speak, but they are not in conditions.'

Mourinho is expecting a challenging match against Valencia despite United's opponents

losing to a 10-man Juventus in their Champions League opener.

'The Champions League week is always a good week,' the Portuguese said.

'Even if you expect a difficult match, a difficult opponent.

'It's a big week.

Everyone wants to play Champions League, not everyone can do it.

So we are here and we have the chance to play a big match.

So, big match, big week.'

Careful What You Wish For! Dems' FBI Probe Into Kavanaugh About To Backfire BRUTALLY On Them - Duration: 5:37.

The Judge Kavanaugh controversy has been hitting headlines.

Democrats and Republicans are eating each other alive in the Senate Judiciary Committee

over the issue.

Now that a Federal Bureau of Investigation investigation has been issued new developments

are in store.

After Senator Jeff Flake indicated that he would only vote for Kavanaugh on the full

Senate Floor if there was a committee vote the investigators started chasing down leads.

However, there was more Senate input on the issue.

Senator Bill Cassidy put himself in the fray by commenting on the FBI investigation to

the media.

Breitbart News reported, "Just like their other tactics throughout

this confirmation process, Senate Democrats' demands for an FBI investigation have never

been about getting the facts or finding the truth.

If they were, they would have alerted law enforcement months ago, as soon as they learned

of the claims.

Instead, they waited until the last minute to leak them in order to delay the vote.

That is why any FBI investigation of the allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh should include

potential coordination between the Democrat operatives and lawyers that assisted in bringing

them forth.

What Senate Democrats really want is more time to smear Judge Kavanaugh, regardless

of the toll it takes on his wife, his daughters, and our country.

Democrats will not suddenly require evidence to declare Judge Kavanaugh guilty of being

the worst kind of criminal.

They will not suddenly abandon their assumption that all accusations against Republicans are

credible and to be believed.

If the FBI turns up nothing significant, they will say what Joe Biden said in 1991, that

the FBI does not reach conclusions.

They will say the FBI did not have enough time to conduct a thorough investigation.

What they will not do is admit they were wrong to accuse Judge Kavanaugh of being a gang

rapist, or a rapist, or a sexual assaulter, or a drunk, or a perjurer, or a hothead unfit

for the bench.

If the delay facilitates new allegations from Michael Avenatti or someone else, it will

not matter how ludicrous they are.

Democrats will instantly call them credible, demand more delays, more FBI resources, and

more hearings.

They will attack anyone who disagrees.

Delay, delay, delay.

That's all they want, because their goal is to do anything and everything to smear

any nominee — anyone — and block Republicans from appointing another justice to the Supreme

Court.

We cannot and should not let that happen."

Think Progress reported, "On Saturday morning, Sen. Bill Cassidy

(R-LA) responded to news that the FBI will investigate sexual assault allegations against

Brett Kavanaugh by calling for an investigation of Democrats — in particular, whoever was

responsible for leaking a letter written by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford detailing her story

of being assaulted by Kavanaugh.

Echoing the evidence-free conspiratorial language Kavanaugh used during Thursday's hearing

about the origins of Ford's accusation, Cassidy suggested some sort of Democratic

plot is at work.

This is part of a broader Democratic strategy to coordinate, and in that coordination, to

seek to delay," Cassidy said on Fox & Friends.

"How many more charges can be brought out to smear this man, to create legitimate doubts

in the minds of some of the American public?"

"There are other things the FBI should do, but it should investigate whether indeed there

is this intent to coordinate, and in fact, the actual coordination," Cassidy added.

Cassidy singled out Sen. Diane Feinstein (D-CA), calling for her to be interrogated under oath.

Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, denies playing any role in leaking

the letter Ford wrote to her detailing her story of being assaulted by Kavanaugh at a

party in 1982.

"Let's actually investigate.

Ask Diane Feinstein under oath, did she leak it, then ask her aide," he said.

The Intercept, which broke the story about Ford's letter, denies that Feinstein and

her staff were responsible for the leak.

Ford actually praised Feinstein for the way she and her staff handled her accusation during

Thursday's hearing.

Nonetheless, later during Saturday's Fox & Friends, co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy went

as far as to smear Feinstein as "the real villain" of the Kavanaugh scandal.

Cassidy's comments are a page out of the playbook that team Trump has been using to

deflect from damaging revelations in the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign for possible

collusion with Russia.

Rather than responding to new revelations on their merits, Trump and his Republican

enablers have raised concerns about process and called for the investigators to be investigated."

I Got A Lime Green Wig For The First Time | Hair Me Out | Refinery29 - Duration: 6:03.

This is like, a blooper.

This sh*t hard to open!

You gotta hit it with some hot water.

Alright, we got it now.

Hi, my name is Raven, and this is Hair Me Out.

I'm going to be getting a lime green wig.

Before we get into the transformation, don't forget to subscribe below.

As someone who is natural and has had so many hair changes, it's so important for me to

retain the length that I have.

I had dreadlocks for 11 years of my life, so that was like, limited experimentation.

I could only do so much.

And then, when I was a junior in high school, I completely shaved my head.

It was just like, me taking control over how I was expressing myself with my hair.

After shaving my head, I went through all of the weird transformations of like, having

relaxed hair, wearing weaves, wearing protective styles...

And what worked best for me was protective styles.

It helped me retain my length, not destroy my curl pattern, and not have to deal with

all the single-strand knots and tangling that most natural girls have to deal with.

But once I'm lime green, it's a whole new bag.

I've never had real color, and she's gonna get real color.

So, besides the fact that I'm just happy to be going lime green, I'm super excited that

Ebanks is going to be doing it for me.

Ebanks has done the hair of some of my favorite artists...

Cardi B, Asian Doll, like, I mean...

Why wouldn't I want the same hands in my head?

I'm thrilled to be getting this done.

What made you wanna do a bright color?

I've never really committed and like, had fun color-wise.

I was ready.

This is the wig! Oh my gosh!

I am so excited for her!

I did what most girls who don't understand their hair do...

I put a perm in it!

Perms don't work for everybody.

I ended up having over-processed hair, and my hair started to fall out.

So, coming out of that and being able to actually grow my hair back, grow my edges back, make

sure my curl pattern was still there...

I'm just not gonna let my hair be touched by anybody.

So, when I'm picking a hair stylist, like, it's serious business.

Any black woman would know that.

Any woman knows that.

Hair is deep.

Anytime I get a new hairstyle, I am a little nervous.

The lime green has to look green.

It can't even skew yellow.

I don't want yellow on my head.

I'm also a little worried about what my mom is going to think.

She's worried about what people may think about me when they don't truly know me, they

just see this girl with lime green hair.

But, to that I would just be like, "Mom, you know, it's trendy, she's living her best life.

You only go around once..."

There used to be a lot of stigma around wigs and wearing wigs.

Even the word "wig" like, people wouldn't use it. They would say "unit" or a "lace front."

Now, wigs are so trendy because all of the celebrities are now wearing wigs.

Every upcoming artist pretty much has a wig on her head.

And that's because what's underneath is more important.

There's so many options now in haircare and hair is a lot bigger.

The industry is a lot bigger than it was.

It's a lot more tangible.

It's a lot more affordable.

So now, wigs are like, an everyday thing.

I'm about to bless her with some baby hairs on this unit right now...

Major key.

Who doesn't love baby hairs? Right?

As a black woman, I change my hair a lot, and it has to do with like, expressing myself.

But, it also has to do a lot with versatility.

When you change your hair, it's just a way to boost your self confidence.

I'm so, so, so, so excited.

It's going to be the boldest hairstyle that I've had in a long time.

Ready to take a look?

So ready!

It's lit!

Boom.

Oh, my gosh!

I cannot believe this.

This is sickening.

Wow.

This is amazing.

I'm so in love with this.

Like, look at my...

Oh!

But no, I real life like, am so in love. This was fun!

This is incredible!

Thank you so much!

This hair is amazing.

I'm obsessed with this color.

The way that Ebanks installed this look, it's absolutely secure.

I can do anything that I want with it.

It is magnificent.

I mean, look at my baby hairs.

They are laid!

My hair is daring, it's bold, and it definitely cannot be missed.

My lime green wig has birthed an entirely new Raven.

Thank you guys so much for watching!

Free Editor for YouTube Videos! Is DaVinci Resolve Good for beginners? - Duration: 6:09.

okay so you want to edit your YouTube videos you want to put in a intro and an

outro but you not sure which software to use perhaps you don't want to use an app

you'd rather use your standard desktop software so in this video we're going to

have a look at DaVinci Resolve which is a free software it's very popular it's a

very good software and that's coming up after the intro how's it going everybody

my name is trevor welcome to another episode of transporter tech and in this

video we're going to have a quick look today at DaVinci Resolve it's just gonna

be a real quick overview it's not a full review there's plenty of those on the

internet already I'm sorry I'm YouTube already I'm just gonna do a real quick

run-through and see what we'd have to do to just add an intro and and end screen

to our videos ok so now I'm going to fire up DaVinci Resolve for the first

time well I've not used the program before this is my first time using it ok

so here we are what I'm saying is hey we get your media pool we need to import

some stuff we're gonna do it through there follow it you could just drag and

drop stuff but I'm gonna do it like this cuz I've got some files set aside

specifically

okay so we remain ports so we're gonna improve got their intro we got here's my

little demo clip with me to say I'm blob up which is super hilarious

mmm mmm scream and bam so now we're on I guess we have to for I don't know I'm

wearing this stuff the same ways you guys are but it's not super hard like

don't forget see yeah it's a little more complicated than your standard so right

off the bat I'm thinking I'm using using apps - probably a lot easier than trying

to use this I have a lot of experience editing - so it's not it's only a simple

matter to go in and figure it out but yeah this might not be the best program

for beginners okay so we create a new timeline with this clip just a little

thing up here - moving it out so okay now we're gonna we'll play it to figure

out that was going everybody blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and blah

the intro okay so now we should be able to yeah

let's blade so we're going to cut that move this and drag our intro there and

put it back so now let's do the intro so blah blah blah okay so now we have our

interest in there we just simply drag our end scream to the end here okay so

that's it really that's just a quick look at how to do it it's not super hard

but if you're new to video anything altogether I don't know perhaps this

software isn't actually the best one for a beginner to start with I'll have to do

another a follow-up video to this from here though we would just run T we want

to export or render sometimes it's either render or export but yeah this is

like more complicated than I thought maybe I can't really recommend this

particular software when you compare it to abusing an app this is much harder

much trickier figure out than an app you know and for YouTube videos this might

be considered overkill I can't recommend this software for beginners to edit

YouTube videos once you've gained some experience that's a different story but

for right now I'm gonna have to move on to a different software for that if

you're because I'm looking for the best apps and software to edit YouTube videos

for beginners and this is not one hate to say it unless somebody else disagrees

I know some some of you out there use this if you disagree let me know

make your own video showing how easy it can because I don't think it's it's not

hard I can figure it out but right now yeah I can't recommend it alright this

The Trial of Hon. Daniel E. Sickles for Shooting Philip Barton Key, Esq. - Duration: 2:44.

From the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. The Law Library

of Congress holds a collection of trials

in its rare book collection.

This particular trial was a sensation and is often thought

of as the trial of the century for the 19th century.

It started when the wife of Rep.

Daniel Sickles, Teresa Sickles, had an affair

with Philip Barton Key.

Philip Key was the son of Francis Scott Key,

who you may know as the author of the Star Spangled Banner.

It has been said that all of Washington society knew

of his wife's affair except for Sickles,

until one day he received a mysterious note signed "R.P.G."

that revealed the affair and how Key contacted Teresa.

Sickles confronted Teresa

and made her write a handwritten confession

that was later published.

As Sickles and his friends were discussing what to do

about the situation, they spotted Key signaling Teresa

from the street with his handkerchief.

Sickles confronted Key in the street.

Armed with two derringers and a revolver,

Sickles fired upon Key, but only grazed him.

Key reached into his own coat for a means of defense,

but found only opera glasses, which he threw at Sickles.

Key wrestled with Sickles, and Sickles dropped his gun.

Freeing himself from Key's grip, Sickles produced another gun,

and Key began to stumble backwards, crying,

"Don't shoot me, don't murder me!"

Sickles fired, striking Key in the groin.

Key fell, and Sickles drove a point-blank shot

into Key's chest.

Finally, Sickles put a gun to Key's head

and pulled the trigger, but the gun misfired.

A group of men arrived on the scene,

and Sickles was led away while Key lay dying.

Key quickly died and Sickles confessed to shooting him.

It would seem Sickles would almost certainly be convicted

of murder, but he was defended by a team of prominent lawyers,

including the future Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton.

The defense successfully argued that Sickles was in a state

of temporary insanity.

Sickles later served as a Union General at the Battle

of Gettysburg where he was struck by cannon fire,

resulting in the amputation of his leg.

Sickles' leg is periodically displayed at the National Museum

of Health and Medicine.

This has been a presentation of the Library of Congress.
