Following the loss of many family members to cancer Dean Oliver became disenchanted with western medicine and was guided towards earth made solutions for many of the man made problems we face today.After an exploration of self healing in 2012, Dean began sharing his discoveries to empower as many individuals who were willing to listen, providing safe and affective herbal medicines while facilitating and guiding individuals through self healing.Dean became passionate in uncovering the truth about disease within the body, predominantly cancer, and immersed himself into scientific study. He continues to question medical indoctrination and is committed to passing on the correct information so that you can live a more harmonic and balanced lifestyle.This lead Dean to Portugal where he constructed a self sustaining healing and detoxification retreat where he guided many guests through the art of cleaning the body through the journey of fasting and teaching how to clean specific eliminatory organs. Conducting heavy metal detoxification and teaching how to become confident in the body's ability to heal if given the right fuel and environment.While also showing guests how to create their own medicines.12 months ago Dean felt strongly to return to the UK and begin the journey of traveling the UK, Scotland and Wales sharing his gifts.Dean's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/dean.oliver.90Presented by Wendy Smith:https://www.bitchute.com/channel/FmOxoTinz5Ti/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEXSIY_CG_LXwA-w-nmt4mwwendysmith.me.ukultimateretreats.lifehttps://www.facebook.com/CoachWendy72/Tune into Reality Bites live on KindaSound Radio every Sunday: https://KindaSound.orgConnect with the KindaSound team on Telegram: https://t.me/ksradioNew podcast episodes every Thursday.

Milton Lee welcomes ESPN's Kevin Pelton and Dean Oliver from the Washington Wizards to discuss where we are with basketball analytics as a sport and as an industry. The three point revolution in the NBA is one very obvious example of a change brought about by analytics, and the trio discuss this, as well as the origins of the analytics movement. The conversation then moves to the direction of travel within both the sport itself, and how fans and the media at large talk about and understand basketball. Are there any other large scale shifts we should expect, or are we into the marginal gains? Where are we ultimately headed?

Jesse is here for a solo pod to get into the strategy of the dynasty basketball game. While there are many resources for fantasy basketball success, perhaps there is a way to use insights from the strategy research in other dynasty sports (especially baseball) to help gain an edge. We talk about position eligibility changes in basketball on Fantrax this offseason and how to think about positions in fantasy. Basketball analytics help to understand how successful teams look at player performance. We'll get into Dean Oliver's Four Factors and some advantages of Cleaning the Glass stats. And how do 'important' stats tie into fantasy categories? What are leaguewide trends in stats and how should we 'scale' the 7 counting stats to understand how many tickmarks make a difference in fantasy. What stats are most and least available outside of the top overall fantasy performers and how can that contribute to streaming strategy? What is the average age of the top players in each statistical category (i.e. what stat is a 'young man's game)? All this and more.

A tough truck driver drove past, leant out the window and shouted - I will take the orange one • And talking about trucks, for the last few weeks we have ranted against car infotainment systems that are not easy to understand and use.

Dean Oliver and he and his family's early holdens Overdrive's artist in residence, Dean Oliver also comes from a family that has had its passion for Holden cars. We chatted about those early years and Dean as a young man with a passion for cars but not the financial responsibility that some would have liked, DB Dean, your family did have some Holden's how far back to the go. DO Yeah. Thanks, David. Yes. Our family had a fairly small collection of Holden's, but nonetheless a good one. My parents originally came through from a 1950s Austin A40 tourer, but my father used to deliver newspapers in. And then the big move was a 1962 EK Holden's special. It was a station wagon and it had the two speed, hydromatic gearbox, which was brand new, and Dad used it to deliver newspapers around Shellharbour and that area of the south coast. DB Now, that's the reflection of the times, because when the first Holden came in, the biggest selling car was the A40 Austin Devon. DO Well, yes, he certainly fitted that theory really well. But the old English |Austin was just no match for the rough potholes of the roads of country, New South Wales. DB How did your father feel with that change? Because it was going to a bigger car, a more powerful car, and a more rugged car. Was he proud of that? DO It was the pride of the family, David. There were photographs of the family standing beside it, beaming, smiling, and it was a spectacular looking thing compared to the old Austin. The Holden was bright blue and a strip down the side and the EK had those wonderful tailfins on the taillights which looked very American. DB It was that era of the excess of the Cadillac reflecting the space race, really, wasn't it? It was trying to look like it was a rocket. DO Yes. But NASA rockets probably didn't overheat with quite the same problem as the Holden did, especially on our trips up to Sydney. DO Mom always packed a thermos and some sandwiches because the Holden would get pretty warm going up Mount Ousley from Wollongong and dad always had a race with himself to see if he could get over in third gear with changing back down to second. About 50 percent of the time. DB That's another whole story of the hills in every capital city under which people tested their car or even in your cases, you're saying some of the more rural roads, if you can get up the hill, then you know you're doing well. Did they continue with Holdens? DO Yes. And after almost ten years, the old EK gave way to a 1972 HQ Kingswood and it was a 253 V8. And I think my poor old dad might have got done over by the salesman at the Holden dealership. It was pretty well out of character for him to go for a smooth V8, and especially the HQ was the clour was Chateau Mauve, which was a metallic purple colour. It started rusting from the day we bought it. DB You then continued your first car, I think was a Torana, but it came with an unsolicited recommendation for financial prudence. DO Well, I've got my first job and I was pretty keen on Holdens and the Holden Dealer Team and the Bathurst race and all that sort of thing. I had a job. I was getting a regular income and so it had to be a Torana. There's no way I could have got an XU1 because insurance was just totally impossible for a young bloke in his early 20s. So my new car was a GTA Torana. A 1973 LJ model and it was wonderful and I bought it with a bank loan and I got a stern lecture from the bank manager about responsible financial management. And in hindsight, I think I borrowed about $2000. The car was about $3,400 new and I borrowed $2000 which dollars at the day was an enormous amount of money. So the bank manager was, I think, pretty horrified.

Sad news that one time motoring journalists and photographer, Nick Munting, has passed away at the age of 66. Dean Oliver, Overdrive's resident artist, and I knew Nick from many years ago when we travelled to New Caledonia to go into the rugged rural areas, stand by dusty roads and watch rally cars. Seemed like a good idea at the time and it was. Nick was an enthusiastic, ebullient, lad who always looked for the positive. To reflect on those memories Dean joins us on the line.

Depois de umas semanas de ausência, estamos de regresso e com um convidado muito especial: Dean Oliver, um dos primeiros especialistas em estatísticas avançadas a trabalhar na NBA e autor do livro "Basketball on paper"! Nesta entrevista, falamos da importância que as equipas da NBA dão às estatísticas, das críticas dos que defendem que os números estão a matar o basquetebol e de como o factor humano pode ter influência no rendimento de um jogador. Dean Oliver defende, ainda, que Draymond Green​ é um dos dois melhores jogadores dos Golden State Warriors​, afirma que o MVP desta temporada será Russell Westbrook​, embora seja James Harden​ que merece a distinção e identifica o seu cinco ideal da NBA com base nos Analytics. Ainda neste episódio, Ricardo Brito Reis e Márcio Martins falam dos destaques dos playoffs até ao momento e fazem mais uma aposta ousada... A não perder!

Basketball season is now in full swing. But here at Popular Science, we’re ahead of the game. We’re looking beyond 2015 to see what sports will look like 10, 20, or even 30 years down the road. In this episode of the podcast, we talk to Marcus Elliott, founder of the Peak Performance Project, or P3. The company uses a slew of data to build better athletes. And we hear from Ryan Warkins, who works at Catapult Sports, a company that tracks athletes with all kinds of sensors. We discuss how to keep star players injury-free and playing at their best. To figure out how to put together a team that works like a well-oiled machine, we talk to Dean Oliver, vice president of data science at TruMedia Networks. He says that numbers have a huge amount of power in sports but that it all comes down to how they’re analyzed. Looking back into the PopSci archives also brings up some painful (if hilarious) memories about how we used to train elite players back in the day. Take, for example, the basketball “bumpers” from April 1941, designed to protect your fragile eyeglasses. Or how about a high-tech training exercise using action figures from March, 1940? The ways we play (and watch) sports have come a long way in the past 75 years, and they’ll be changing even more going forward. Tune in to find out how.
