Surviving Extreme Heat
75% of U.S. homes have air conditioning. It is responsible for 6% of the overall electricity we use. Air conditioning, or AC, is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space, making it more comfortable. The electrical AC unit we love in the summer was invented in 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier. Today, it is a luxury we’ve grown accustomed to having in our homes. Unfortunately, it runs on power that can be cut off by an EMP or a blackout. Here are some ways to cool off when the AC goes down.

NBA Mock Draft 2023. Content Warning.
The big day has finally arrived and things are about to get interesting with the NBA draft happening tonight not only will teams be welcoming new Young Talent into their organizations but I think quite a few big trades will be going down as well to shake up the league for this video though we'll be sticking to the draft side of things as we're here to present our official draft day mock draft this is how I believe this night will go down based on rumors projections and fit between the player and the team before we start though it turns out a good amount of you watching right now aren't even subscribed to the channel so if you enjoy the content consider hitting the Subscribe Button as not only does it help out a ton but it also very much appreciate it now with that being said let's begin starting things off with the number one pick in the draft the San Antonio Spurs select Victor wembin Yahama from France there should be zero surprises happening at the top when benyama has been pegged as the prize of this draft for over a year and throughout the last year he's has only strengthened that assertion even further wembanyama has an otherworldly combination of size skill and versatility both offensively and defensively and the Spurs are ready to hand him the keys to the kingdom and begin building around him the Spurs have had success drafting big men number one overall and are hoping that Victor can follow in the footsteps of Tim Duncan and David Robinson next up with the second pick the Charlotte Hornets select Brandon Miller from Alabama the Hornets will be the determining factor in quite a bit of action that goes down tonight because a lot of teams have interest in scoot Henderson and with the Blazers exploring trades for their number three pick if he isn't picked by the Hornets here then I think a big trade could go down and based on what I've seen from reports coming out of Hornet's Camp it seems as though they like Miller more than Henderson they like Miller's fit alongside lamello ball much more as a two-way Wing player that dies up and shoots the ball well for from Deep which feels like the safe play because it's hard to imagine a scenario where Miller doesn't find success in their lineup next with the third pick the Portland Trailblazer select scoot Henderson from g-league ignite as I just said the Blazers will be a big Domino that falls tonight if they keep the pick then it seems like Henderson is a lock to be the selection and even if they trade it then whoever they trade with will also more than likely be doing so for a chance to draft Henderson he's reminiscent of guys like John Morant Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook as a quick explosive guard that puts constant pressure on the defense off the dribble attacking the basket while progressing along as a playmaker but he does need to continue working on his three-point shot to take his game to the next level up next with the fourth pick the Houston Rockets select Eamonn Thompson from overtime Elite the Rockets may have been disappointed not to land a top 3 pick but at number four they're still in a good spot to land the best player available who also happens to fit a need of theirs at point guard Eamonn Thompson might be the most athletic player in this year's draft so placing him alongside Jalen Green in the team's backcourt will be very exciting stuff but Eamon also has solid feel for playmaking and is a more natural passer than Kevin Porter Jr who the team previously had running point guard he needs to improve as a shooter but overall there's a lot to like in his game next with the fifth pick the Detroit Pistons select Jairus Walker from Houston the Pistons have a solid young backcourt duo in Kade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey and then they've got a ton of centers vying for minutes as well in their rotation so bringing in Jairus Walker to play power forward alongside whichever big ultimately wins the job could bring a lot of balance to their lineup Walker is a strong and versatile Defender who can switch onto multiple positions he's a willing shooter and a sneakily good passer for a big man and he's got so much room to grow as well up next with the sixth pick the Orlando Magic select Asar Thompson from overtime Elite the magic have depth at point guard on the wings and at Center so the fact that Asar Thompson happens to be the best player available here and he can slot in at their shooting guard spot makes it a really strong match for the magic Asar like his brother Eamon is an incredibly impressive athlete is more of a Score first player though while still demonstrating a willingness to set up his teammates for good looks when they present themselves and he's also been a pretty good defensive player to this point in his career and with good physical tools to work with the magic will love that next up with the seventh pick the Indiana Pacers select Taylor Hendricks from UCF Taylor Hendricks steadily climbed draft boards this year and is now viewed as the most prototypical 3 and D player in this year's class he's a six foot eight wing with a seven foot one inch wingspan he's a terrific shooter of the basketball and he's really Smart in how he moves off the ball and gets himself into positions that set himself up for easy looks the Pacers could use some help defensively and they also need more shooting so adding Hendrix checks both of those boxes up next with the eighth pick the Washington Wizards select Anthony black from Arkansas the Wizards are blowing it up this off season to start fresh and drafting Anthony black gives them a good potential floor General to develop throughout this new process he's a big guard with good size and skill and he makes those around him better simply by setting them up for good looks and making the right play next up at number 9 the Utah Jazz Select cam Whitmore from Villanova Whitmore has the ideal physical tools functional athleticism defensive potential and potential to be a very good Wing player in the NBA but recently teams have reportedly been a bit worried about his medical reports he did struggle with injuries this past season but when he returned to the court he showed off a lot of positives that have had him in the top 10 of mock drafts all year most of the time higher than this so we may see him slip a little bit up next with the 10th pick the Dallas Mavericks select Derek Lively from duke the Mavericks are another team in Prime contention to trade their pick here but even if they keep it Lively is the kind of player they should be targeting interior defense was a huge mess for the Mavericks and Lively is a seven foot one shot blocker with the size and instincts that can easily be tapped into and developed Lively works well in pick and roll action which is great with Luka doncic and potentially Kyrie Irving being there he's a lob threat and he's been reportedly killing it in his pre-draft workouts shooting up draft boards up next with the 11th pick the Orlando Magic select Grady dick from Kansas the magic ranked near the bottom of the league in three-point shooting so drafting dick who may be the best shooter in the class this year would be a very strong addition since they have two lottery picks they can swing at upside with their first one which I have them doing with Asar Thompson then they can take someone with a solidified skill set that they need here to take advantage of both picks in the best way possible next with the 12 pick the Oklahoma City Thunder select below kubale from France cool ballet is actually a teammate of Victor Wen benyama and the more that people tuned into games to scout when benyama the more they realize that Bilal was also a standout Prospect worthy of Lottery hype he's a long and Athletic ball handler and playmaker who is an explosive at The Rim finisher and a very instinctual Defender who makes things happen on that end of the floor at six foot seven with a seven foot three inch wingspan while still having not even turned 19 years old yet he's exactly the type of prospect that the Thunder have become synonymous with Drafting and developing next up with the 13th pick the Toronto Raptors select Cason Wallace from Kentucky the Raptors seem to be starting their rebuild period with Scotty Barnes their primary youngster leading the new wave and if they want to continue to build on their defensive identity then look no further than Wallace who may be the best perimeter defender in the draft class Wallace has been compared to Drew holiday because of how he hounds opposing ball handlers and while he's not quite the offensive threat that holiday is he does provide good balance overall in terms of scoring and play making and finally with the last pick in the lottery the New Orleans Pelicans select Kobe buffkin from Michigan Kobe is another player who has reportedly done very well throughout the pre-draft workout cycle and as a result of it he's gained some fans in the lottery range he gives you scoring defense and versatility with room to grow and his skill set is adaptable in many different situations making him a likely candidate to sneak into the lottery tonight and with that being said that's all I have for you today make sure to like the video subscribe to the channel and comment down below who you want to see your team draft tonight thanks for watching and I'll see you all next time foreign

Chris Paul. Content Warning.
Jordan pool's contract was so bad the Warriors had to pay to get rid of it Warriors got Chris Paul Wizard's got Jordan Poole Ryan Hollins a protected 20 31st and a 2027 second pool makes 130 million the next four years for what dude was unplayable in the playoffs warriors were desperate so they paid the Wizards to take it off their hands in exchange they get Chris Paul for one season to try to win a chip but how good of a fit is CP3 we'll explore that but this is a great sign for Draymond Green he and Jordan pool's relationship never recovered one week ago Dre opted out of his final year to become a free agent he could have left for a team of cap space like the Rockets or the Pistons or maybe done a sign and trade now the dubs are saying we love you please come back we have money for you but that punch video being leaked was the best thing ever for Jordan pool dude was embarrassed everyone felt bad for him during extension talks so the Warriors rewarded him with 130 million bucks like hey about the punch we're really sorry here's generational wealth at the same time it was the worst thing for Draymond he became the number one villain in the NBA before Dylan Brooks took over articles guaranteeing he's gonna leave the dubs the video leaking was a punch to the gut like someone in my own building betrayed me to make me look awful but as the season played out Dre showed why he is a future Hall of Famer and pool melted down round one 12 points a game on 26 percent from three round two eight points on 25 from Deep horrible turnovers Warrior fans turned on him faster than the NBA media turned on Russ but in the middle of the Season everything changed the league got together to gang up on the doves for years they have had the biggest payroll in the NBA their owner Joe lakum will pay whatever it takes to surround Steph clay and Draymond with winning players but now the richest teams have gigantic penalties which is a problem for Draymond because they paid Jordan pool and Andrew Wiggins last year did that mean Draymond was gone not anymore Chris Paul makes 30.8 million but it is off the books next summer so now they can afford to keep the core together it's not guaranteed but a lot more likely but how does Chris Paul fit on the Warriors they have point guard depth already Steph Curry at the one with gp2 and Dante divincenzo backing him up Steph actually played point guard a hundred percent of the time last year in fact the last time he played even a third of his minutes at shooting guard his rookie year with Montana Ellis this is gonna be a huge change unless Chris Paul agrees to come off the bench that would be the perfect scenario leading the second unit as a mature high IQ veteran playing against other backups but would CP accept that role he has never come off the bench before he has always been the man on his team and is one of the most vocal leaders in sports but maybe he wants to win a ring that bad so he's willing to be a sixth man but if not playing point guard isn't actually fair to who Steph is I mean he's not a traditional point guard with how often he plays off the ball with a ton of movement I mean Draymond handles the ball and facilitates a lot on this team and they have had traditional point guards in the past especially with cp's low turnovers there is a world where this works or this entire move could be a trick they could be pulling another D'Angelo Russell back in 2019 Kevin Durant tours in Achilles and decided he was tired of winning championships he'd rather team up with his buddy Kyrie and get back to losing like he did in OKC only in Brooklyn and that plan worked out great but the dubs did a silent trade to bring back Dilo and at the time they said oh we love D'Angelo Russell he fits in great here and then they flipped him at the trade deadline Yahoo just reported Golden State will not wave Chris Paul looking forward to partnering with him on a championship run yeah right this whole thing could be about upping his trade value to then deal him at the deadline which is exactly what they did with Dilo and got back Andrew Wiggins now obviously that kind of trade is not realistic with CP but maybe they're trying to get two or maybe three role players back for death so they start the season with Chris Paul while he is healthy good Shooters around him Chris looks great and they flip him for bench help last time and they had a little depth with Otto Porter and Amanda B Eliza they won a chip not that a team trying to win would love Chris Paul but at least his expiring contract looks good A tanking team like the Pistons or the Rockets who might have vets would offload them to the dubs but the underrated thing about this trade for golden state is Ryan Hollins he's a young guy who doesn't really play but he is a spot on their roster that is now freed up for a veteran minimum player who wants to win a ring it's what they did with the Marcus cousins or David West back in the day they are now replacing Ryan Hollins who doesn't play with some vet who can give them a few minutes if they add that with Death From Another Chris Paul trade later this could be a championship winning move but what about the Wizards they have gotten rid of Bradley Beal and Kristoff porzingis in one week and got zero first round picks how is that possible in a world where Rudy gobert goes for control of six first they got more first for CP than Biel and porzingis combined now that's not technically true because Chris Paul is part of the Bradley Beale trade but it's crazy I feel bad for their fans the plan will be to suck for like five years while picking high in the draft then hopefully forever from now they might have some good young players then they'll have to wait years for them to develop so maybe in like 2033 the Wizards could be a contender it's like the process only worse because the odds of getting a top pick are now horrible imagine the Pistons having the worst record in the NBA last year and picking fifth that's the world the Wizards are living in now they do have a decent backcourt with tyus Jones and Jordan Poole but those guys are decent with stars around them especially tyus Jones best assist to turnover ratio in the NBA but that really matters when you have like a John Morant scoring 30. on his own he's like a decent role player that no one pays attention to but we can finally say the two timeline Warriors are dead they tried to set up the future with the present by drafting like a James Wiseman instead of trading the number two pick and it failed now they dealt a 24 year old Jordan pool for a dude who's 39 in next year's playoffs like uh we think we'd be better with a guy who's almost 40. it's a big risk because pool was actually key when Steph and Clay rested in the regular season pool struggled in the playoffs but could still give you 30 On Any Given night when he was the focal point but this is about winning now which will not work Chris gets hurt a ton at this point and even in his prime he's a different guy in big games if they're depending on him in like a Conference finals history says it will fail that's why I think six-man roll makes sense for CP or flipping him again at the deadline it reminds me of the Lakers when people were like oh la has five Hall of Famers but really it was like old Carmelo Anthony Dwight Howard Ross LeBron A.D oh yeah they're Hall of Famers but at this point the production isn't there but we could see more gigantic trades even if zon Williamson is not dealt on draft night the rumors are getting crazy New Orleans really wants scoot Henderson and a report says Zion could be the guy they deal check it out
