Le Point aguiche avec sa Une consacrée « aux super-pouvoirs de la sieste », assortie d'une photo de plage et de mer translucide. En réalité, l'hebdomadaire nous parle surtout de notre quotidien surchargé, assorti d'un manque de sommeil chronique. Oui, la sieste est une solution, surtout « les siestes de 10 minutes, car elles ne laissent pas le temps au cerveau de plonger en sommeil profond et évitent ainsi au dormeur de souffrir d'une inertie au réveil ». « Pratiquées quotidiennement, elles jouent un rôle cardioprotecteur, chez les personnes en dette de sommeil. Elles ont aussi des effets positifs sur la mémoire ». Bref, pas besoin d'être sur une île déserte pour s'adonner à une petite sieste réparatrice. On en veut pour preuve ces quelques photos choisies par le Point, où l'on voit en gros plan, députés et ministres, bâillant ou même dormant profondément, sur les bancs de l'Assemblée nationale.L'été, ce n'est pas seulement la sieste, c'est aussi la caniculeLe Figaro Magazine nous propose « un petit guide de survie pour un été caniculaire car, nous dit-il, la généralisation des épisodes de canicule et de sécheresse dans notre pays implique des mutations profondes de notre comportement ». Exemple : l'alimentation. On nous conseille le « régime méditerranéen : tomates, brocolis, concombre, courgettes, œufs, poisson, volaille ». Côté activités, on évitera le sport lorsque la température dépasse les 35 degrés, à moins de s'hydrater abondamment, « jusqu'à 6 litres par jour ». « Sinon, poursuit Le Figaro Magazine, la solution la plus efficace pour lutter contre la chaleur, à la maison ou au bureau, reste la rénovation énergétique. Pour un résultat optimal, pas de secret, il faut isoler toutes les parois : murs, sols, toitures, combles, fenêtres, portes ». De quoi permettre de ne pas dépasser les 24°C à l'intérieur, lorsqu'il fait 35°C dehors.35 degrés, ce n'est toutefois pas ce qu'il y a de pire si l'on se tourne du côté de la Grèce, et notamment Athènes où l'on attend ce dimanche 23 juillet des températures allant jusqu'à 45 degrés. Aujourd'hui en France s'en fait l'écho, « en attendant que la canicule passe, les habitants restent cloîtrés ». « Moi, je prends quatre ou cinq douches par jour et je reste à la maison autant que je peux, rideaux tirés », raconte une habitante de la capitale. Pas de rénovation énergétique en vue : « User et abuser de la clim semble être une attitude bien ancrée chez soi, dans les centres commerciaux, mais aussi sur les terrasses ouvertes des restaurants. (...) La clim est l'option la moins verte, mais pour l'instant la plus efficace et la plus populaire », conclut Aujourd'hui en France.Un hommage aux basketteurs afro-américainsC'est M, le supplément du Monde, qui nous raconte « le long match pour l'égalité », de ceux qui « ont longtemps subi le racisme et la ségrégation, sans véritable soutien de leurs coéquipiers blancs ». Et l'un de ces anciens coéquipiers, Bob Cousy, 94 ans, exprime aujourd'hui des regrets, lorsqu'il pense à Bill Russell, « la légende indépassable des Celtics ». « Au soir de sa vie, l'ancien sportif regrette de ne pas avoir tenu la main, à l'époque, à ce coéquipier qui en aurait pourtant eu besoin ». Il se liera toutefois d'amitié avec un autre basketteur afro-américain, Chuck Cooper, à une époque où la ségrégation bat son plein. Un soir de 1952, lorsque les deux hommes se retrouvent « à la gare de Boston, devant des toilettes séparées entre hommes blancs et hommes de couleur, ils décident d'uriner sur les voies, en signe de protestation ». À cette époque, la National Basketball Association (NBA), n'est encore qu'une « ligue mineure, aux fondations fragiles (...) loin de ce qu'elle est devenue, un concentré d'Amérique et une marque planétaire ».Les succès de « Lady Jane »Jane Birkin, est décédée il y a tout juste une semaine. « Une incrédulité consternée a accueilli sa disparition, raconte Le Point, tant elle semblait nappée d'une immunité de jeunesse unissant plusieurs époques. » L'hebdomadaire égrène ses nombreux succès, musique, cinéma, et aussi sa manière d'être à la mode, décontractée. Par exemple, lorsqu'elle essaie une robe de velours chez Yves Saint Laurent, et qu'elle dit innocemment : « C'est comme un t-shirt, je peux la rouler dans ma valise. »Hommage également de L'Obs avec une Jane Birkin souriante sur une photo en noir et blanc en Une, « Bye Lady Jane ». Ses chansons, ses films, mais aussi un aspect moins connu de sa personnalité. Ses engagements. Aux côtés de Simone de Beauvoir et Simone Veil en faveur du droit à l'avortement, avec Robert Badinter pour l'abolition de la peine de mort, Birkin, nous dit L'Obs, « est contre toutes les guerres ». « Birkin, absolument, définitivement, est pour la liberté d'expression, sous toutes ses formes. »Le JDD toujours absent dans les kiosquesLes journalistes du Journal du dimanche poursuivent leur grève entamée le 22 juin, contre l'arrivée à la tête du journal de Geoffroy Lejeune, journaliste proche de l'extrême droite.

We covered a ton of events from the weekend. We started with Mission Impossible review and then a discussion about the Actors strike! Our fun conversation turned to tennis, golf, NBA, NFL, MLS and Indy racing. We finished by reviewing UFC Vegas 77 and Previewing UFC Fight Night 225! Jason Cameron went to the new Mission Impossible movie over the weekend and after seeing it gave it a 8 out of 10 for a review! That segued our convo into the Actors joining the picket lines and striking putting the film industry at a stand still in North America. We at the Network are greatly affected by this and fingers crossed hope they can come to an agreement very soon. The boys discussed the amazing underdog victory by Carlos Alcaraz dethroning the Novak Djokovic in the Men's singles final of Wimbledon. After dropping the first set 6 to 1 he was able to outlast the four time reigning champ Joker! Novak had almost become unbeatable so this was an incredible feat for the 20 year old Spaniard! We stayed across the pond to talk briefly about Rory McIlroy who disappointed the home town Scottish crowd by birdieing the final two holes to beat Scotland's own Robert McIntyre by one shot. This bodes well for Rory heading into the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool this week. McIlroy lifted the Claret Jug the last time the Open was held on this course. Speaking of golf the American Century Championship had a few viral moments over the weekend. On Saturday Steph Curry of the Golden State Warriors got a hole in one and ended up with the lead heading into Sunday. He closed out the victory with a walk off eagle putt on the 18th hole and celebrated with a huge running hug with his wife. Turning to basketball we talked about the Phoenix Suns roster construction. They have huge contracts signed with KD, Book, Beal and Ayton and have 11 players on minimum contracts. Also with basketball we mentioned Lebron James decision to change his number back to 23 to honor Bill Russell and remove #6 from rotation after the league retired that number after Bill's passing. The big DeAndre Hopkins saga looks to be close to ending as the Tennessee Titans have agreed in principle to a two year deal to bring him into the fold. Lionel Messi one of the greatest and highest paid athletes of all time was finally introduced to the local fans of inter Miami of MLS. The crazy thing was it went under the radar in North America amazingly enough. We talked about the huge announcement of Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou agreeing to a boxing match to take place in Saudi Arabia on October 28th. This is for the baddest man on the planet title! We completed this episode with a review of UFC Vegas 77. It was a terrible card and so it was fairly brief. We previewed the UFC Fight Night 225 that takes place at the O2 Arena in London early on Saturday July 22nd.

In 1957, Bill Russell and Tommy Heinsohn were rookies together on the Boston Celtics. They were both excellent players, but it was obvious to everyone that Russell was the best rookie in the league. However, Heinsohn won the Rookie of the Year award, along with a check for $300. So, how did this happen? We answer that question in today's episode.CREDITSRick Loayza: Head researcher, writer, and voiceJacob Loayza: Editor, producer, and publisher MUSIC"Happy Days" by Chuck Sims"Horizons" by Roa SPORTS HISTORY NETWORKsportshistorynetwork.comsportshistorynetwork.com/podcasts/basketball-history-101/ FACEBOOKm.facebook.com/Basketball-History-101-103801581493027/ BUSINESS CONTACTbballhistory101@gmail.com

Recordamos a Bill Russell, uno de los mejores jugadores de la histria de la NBA y un símbolo de la lucha contra el racismo.

NFL legend, Pro Football HOFer, civil rights activist and actor Jim Brown passed away last Friday. Some in the media marked his passing by shaming the sports icon over alleged abuse from years past. But Jason believes it was Jim Brown's refusal to bend to the political climate of the times that made him a target. “Jim Brown never sold out. That's his legacy. He couldn't be bought or compromised. He epitomized the kind of masculinity America now rejects as toxic.” Brown had an unrelenting set of principles and values that he lived by and that's what made him different from Muhammed Ali, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabar. “The pursuit of money eventually triggers selling out. That's what makes Jim Brown special, a man among boys.” Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to share his thoughts on Jim Brown's legacy and his place in sports history. Plus, the “Korean Cosell” and Jason discuss Colts owner JIm Irsay's list of the top 5 NFL players of all time, more specifically the legendary quarterback back NOT on Irsay's list. The Lakers are down 0-3 to the Denver Nuggets, would a sweep harm LeBron James' legacy? And, Brittney Griner made her historic and brave return to the WNBA, or at least that's the narrative ESPN wants to shill. Then, Shemeka Michelle attempts to make sense of the N.A.A.C.P. issuing a “travel advisory” for people of color, and the LGBTQ community, to boycott the state of Florida. Al Sharpton makes himself the star of Jordan Neely's funeral and Shemeka shares her thoughts on the NYC nurse being charged as racist over an encounter involving black men and a rental bike.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS Tackle football legend, likely brain damage victim, attempted counter-racist, roommate of Bill Russell, and supporter of draft-dodging Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown passed away Thursay at the age of 87. In his free time, Brown starred in Hollywood classics like 3 The Hard Way and I'm Gonna Get You Sucka. Earlier in the week, equally grim subjects were debated, as White technology titans requested oversight from Congress regarding rapidly evolving Artificial Intelligence. In addition to the loss of jobs (which was predicted), security threats and supremely engineered deceptions ("deep fakes") were just some of the anticipated problems with this new technology. In Florida, Ron DeSantis announced he's running for President. In Seattle, Washington, Mother's Day weekend was set ablaze with record temperatures well above 85°F. This is approximately 20°F warmer than usual for this time of year in the pacific northwest. Some observers fear this pre-summer heat wave could be foreshadowing of future extreme weather events - which are especially dangerous/lethal for non-white people. #DeepInTheHeartTexas INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE 564943# #TheCOWS14Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit houseofstrauss.substack.comThe sports/econ/culture/whatever combo returns to HoS and boy do we have a good one for you. The launching pad topic is the NFL's latest sports gambling scandal, but this podcast goes in a lot of NBA directions. This conversation with Wos and Nate touches on, but is not limited to…* Somehow we start on the past inaccessibility of porn * Young Nate Jones was a vice salesman * Is sports going all in on gambling bad for sports? * Can sports gambling make sports more popular?* Can players be tempted to throw games?* Phil Jackson had some comments about the NBA bubble* Is it unfair that people punish the NBA for political hypocrisy? * What's up with the Blazers having so much admiration for Draymond Green?* Is Draymond the greatest defensive player, post Bill Russell?

Bill Russell's life touched so many different areas that trying to figure out how to properly honor his legend is a task in itself. His name adorns the Finals MVP Award, he was the first Black head coach in NBA history, the 11 titles he won with the Boston Celtics are still the standard by which champions are measured. And his impact was just as large off the court where the civil rights activist fought for racial justice at every step of his life. Martenzie Johnson takes us inside the foundational chapter of Russell's life, where he transformed a small program that didn't even have a gym to practice in, into back-to-back national champions…and changed the entire sport of basketball along the way.

When Bill Russell joined the NBA in the 1950s, he was the only Black player on the Celtics. He went on to win 11 championships, more than any player in basketball history. When President Barack Obama awarded him the Medal of Freedom in 2011, he said: “Bill Russell stood up for the rights and dignity of all men.” Today, former NBA player Spencer Haywood remembers his coach and friend.
