Lowe's 10 things - A secret tell for Anthony Davis and one of the ... (ESPN)

This week, we highlight a critical sign for the Lakers and AD, the speedy Beam Team, shot diets in New York and no-dribble post-ups!

(Reaves hitting [Patrick Beverley](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3964/patrick-beverley) with the vengeance "too small" was one of the season's funniest moments -- even funnier because of [how actually mad the Lakers were at Beverley.](https://www.espn.com/espnplus/player/_/id/35960396)) [Ricky Rubio](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4011/ricky-rubio), [Kevin Love](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3449/kevin-love) and Nikola Pekovic drowning defenses in that exact action -- Towns setting one screen, and then fading behind a second off-ball pick from Gobert. [Shai Gilgeous-Alexander](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4278073/shai-gilgeous-alexander), [Josh Giddey](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4871145/josh-giddey), [Jalen Williams](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4593803/jalen-williams) and [Luguentz Dort](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4397020/luguentz-dort) on the floor. [Chet Holmgren](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4433255/chet-holmgren) should be -- and where [Mike Muscala](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2490089/mike-muscala) and [Kenrich Williams](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3133626/kenrich-williams) once were. Warren](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/2982334/tj-warren) goes fast [Kevin Durant](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3202/kevin-durant) locks almost everything into place for the Phoenix Suns. An offense that was so stilted in phase one of the Towns- [Rudy Gobert](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3032976/rudy-gobert) partnership has looked more natural -- with better spacing and snappier transitions from one action to the next. [Clint Capela](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3102529/clint-capela) in the first round two seasons ago, getting nowhere, and bricking a fadeaway 18-footer. [Karl-Anthony Towns](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3136195/karl-anthony-towns) back in the lineup, and their loss was in Phoenix with some kind of bug apparently ravaging the team. He stands atop of what is probably the game's best foursome -- Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Durant, and [Deandre Ayton](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4278129/deandre-ayton) -- though a few teams (the [Boston Celtics](/nba/team/_/name/bos/boston-celtics), [Milwaukee Bucks](/nba/team/_/name/mil/milwaukee-bucks), and [Cleveland Cavaliers](/nba/team/_/name/cle/cleveland-cavaliers) among them) could put forth rival quartets. For better or worse, [Aleksej Pokusevski](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4683018/aleksej-pokusevski) is back. [Brooklyn Nets](/nba/team/_/name/bkn/brooklyn-nets) are 8-13 since the trade deadline, but [Mikal Bridges](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3147657/mikal-bridges) averaging 27 points on almost 50/40/90 shooting is a huge win for Brooklyn regardless of the record. [Sabonis has been on ](/nba/insider/insider/story/_/id/35905661/domantas-sabonis-deaaron-fox-rise-sacramento-kings) [Keegan Murray](https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/4594327/keegan-murray) all season to mix up the way he uses screens -- to do more than skulk behind handoffs in search of 3s, sources said.

Future of Finance: EY's Brody on why tech history shows 'there can ... (Fortune)

From wireless data to 3D printing to IoT, Paul Brody says he's always been "very driven by intellectual curiosity."

So I said, “Okay, we’re making a play.” It’s a theory, a bit of the GE mentality where if I have a limited budget, am I going to spread it around, am I going to be okay with a bunch of different blockchains? So I called a bunch of guys and was like, “We should be able to make a cloud of computing devices that manage themselves, right?” The cloud should be in the devices. Before ERP, the left hand and the right hand didn’t really know what was going on. And, absolutely, you know, our senior people, it’s great when somebody writes to the chairman and says, “I just had this guy, Paul Brody, come in and talk to my clients—totally blew their minds. All the time, I’ll sit down with clients, and they’ll come over, like, “We had no idea you guys knew how to do this stuff.” And that’s great. And we’ve had lots of debates—on the one hand, it’s very computationally intensive, but then on the other hand, it’s not like these machines are doing anything else. And that’s hugely shaped our strategy here because it led me down the path to believe there can be only one winning blockchain. [Samsung](https://fortune.com/company/samsung-electronics/), talking to the head of the multimedia solution center, and he’s like, “Paul, we are going to go broke, the cloud is going to bankrupt us…you’ve got to come up with a better plan.” I thought to myself, this is really bizarre. In the world of audit, we only have three competitors. The best perk of being a VP at IBM was you had access to IBM research. And the next project I did after that was IoT. I wrote like 10 chapters, and it was really, really tough.

Mah said the girl’s parents probably weren’t thinking about the bite when they took her to a doctor because of the bump on her hand. “I think when they went to get medical attention for the bump initially, the bite kind of slipped their mind because they didn’t see it as a potential exposure, because it just healed.

It was only five months later, when her parents noticed a dime-size bump on the girl’s hand in the same spot, that they thought they should take her to another doctor.

Critics of the plan have said this is because the new airline could not find any new profitable routes to enter, but the CEOs disputed that.

They plan to keep the Pan Am logo on the plane, in honor of their overpayment for many of Pan Am’s routes. President Glen Hauenstein is particularly excited about the low prices of the rest of the industry since the Covid pandemic. He enthusiastically stated that, “We think we can buy everyone else today for about what we paid for Northwest in 2008.” This would leave most needing to pay the planned $56,789.26 one-way fare, except United crew of course who will fly for free.

Varla Eagle One Pro Review: The Jeep of E-Scooters (MakeUseOf)

Rugged, high-performance e-scooter with a long-range and impressive power. Not the most portable, but it handles anything the city can throw at it.

Overall, the Eagle One Pro is a great option for those looking for a rugged, high-performance e-scooter with long-range and impressive power. The cockpit of the Varla Eagle One Pro electric scooter is well-designed for a comfortable and ergonomic ride. When it comes to folding, the Eagle One Pro uses a combination of a locking turn knob and a safety pin to secure the stem and deck in place when upright. Even with prior experience riding speedy scooters and mopeds, the Eagle One Pro's acceleration and speed took me a few hours to get used to. However, the Eagle One Pro is not without its limitations. The Varla Eagle One Pro deck is relatively short for a scooter of this size, measuring about 19 x 8 inches. At times, the scooter can be a burden due to its folded size of 22x53" and weight of 90 lbs. According to Varla, the Eagle One Pro boasts a potent 10W headlight that can light up to 500 meters of the road ahead. Including turn signals on the Eagle One Pro would improve road safety and make it more convenient for riders to communicate their intentions to other road users. When fully charged, you can achieve up to 45 miles of range and a top speed of up to 45 mph. Instead of using a traditional key that can easily be lost among your other keys, you have to touch your card on the sensor to unlock the scooter. If you're looking for a powerful, fast, and rugged e-scooter that can handle any terrain or easily keep up with motor traffic, the Varla Eagle One Pro might be just what you need.

One to watch: James Ellis Ford (The Guardian)

The star producer of Kylie and Gorillaz, and one half of electro duo Simian Mobile Disco, has gone solo with a pleasingly idiosyncratic debut album.

[We Are Your Friends](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0TvnWRSyr4). There’s sweet domesticity on debut single I Never Wanted Anything, alongside grimy funk (inspired by his wife and son’s Palestinian heritage), tranquil tape loops and sylvan folk played in a radiophonic workshop – everything coheres somehow. [The Hum](https://jef.ffm.to/thehum). In 2018 the pair had just finished groundbreaking choral techno album [Murmurations](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/may/13/simian-mobile-disco-murmurations-review-hypnotic-genius-takes-flight) when Shaw was diagnosed with [AL amyloidosis](https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/amyloidosis/#:~:text=AL%20amyloidosis%20is%20caused%20by,and%20can%20form%20amyloid%20deposits.), a bone marrow disorder, and had to take a step back. Discarding initial plans to call in Gorillaz-style favours from pop star pals, or make a collection of mood pieces, he plays all 18 instruments and also sings for the first time. [James Ellis Ford](https://www.jamesellisford.com/) is brilliant at the latter.

'One more year' - Tim Murtagh continues to poke fun at retirement ... (ESPN)

Middlesex stalwart determined to keep the enjoyment alive in return to top flight | - ESPN.

"I've said to them, I'm not going to be the most technically knowledgeable coach to start with but in terms of real time, day-to-day bowling, I've been through it all in the last 20-odd years. "Being captain last year, I had a bit more responsibility, you could think about other people apart from yourself, which is great, and I just see it as a bit of an extension of me being a senior bowler for the last few years, trying to help some of these guys and guide them. Just ask Murtagh, who was part of both those title triumphs after joining from Surrey for 2007, and will have special reason to reminisce when Ireland play England in a one-off Test at Lord's at the start of June. Reflecting not just on the longevity of his career but on his lasting enjoyment of the game, Murtagh's view is simple: "Passion. "We've got a really talented group of players here, many deserving of that opportunity to step up into Division One, and anything is possible." [Tom Helm](https://www.espncricinfo.com/cricketers/tom-helm-512907) brings height and pace to their attack and enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2022 with 29 Championship wickets at 21.96 plus an impressive Hundred campaign with Birmingham Phoenix. I still want to play as much as I can this year and be available as much as the coach and captain want me to play. "I'm not going to suddenly say we're going to walk into Division One and win it this year. I felt like there's enough quality within our four walls to be in the first division and to be really competitive. "I'm expecting it to be a challenge because we haven't played in this division for a long time," Murtagh added. But it's also the work to be done with the younger players in the squad that is helping to motivate Murtagh now. If you don't take yourself too seriously and always look for the positives and always look to compete and enjoy the game then I think you'll have more good days than bad days."
