![]() Players were only eligible for the award if they played at least 24 minutes per game and in at least 58 games this season. The top five finishers for the award were Smart, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, Indiana Pacers forward Aaron Nesmith, New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson and New Orleans Pelicans forward Herb Jones. The award is derived from the hustle stats tracked on NBA.com, including deflections, loose balls recovered, charges drawn, screen assists, contested shots and box-outs, which the league has tracked since the 2016-17 postseason. The NBA announced Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart as the winner of the 2022-23 Hustle Award, making him the first player to win the award two years in a row and giving it to him for the third time in the seven years it has existed.

It's no good coming back later when I've sold out. These are not stolen, they just haven't been paid for, and we can't get them again, they've changed the bloody locks. It's no good standing out there like one o'clock half-struck. You want one as well? Okay, darling, show me a bit of life then. It's a lot more fun if you don't get caught. You want one as well, darling? You do? That's it. Left leg, right leg, your body will follow. The only man who sells empty boxes is the undertaker, and by the look of some of you lot today, I'd make more money with me measuring tape. ![]() Don't think because these boxes are sealed up, they're empty. It's as long as my arm – I wish it was as long as something else. Handmade in Italy, hand-stolen in Stepney. Anyone like jewelry? Look at that one there. I took a bag home last night – cost me a lot more than ten pound, I can tell you. You see these goods? Never seen daylight, moonlight, Israelite, Fanny by the gaslight. Let's sort the buyers from the spyers, the needy from the greedy, and those who trust me from the ones who don't, because if you can't see value here today, you're not up here shopping – you're up here shoplifting. So pin back your eyelids, and have a read of this little lot: He’s so good, you’re best off reading his words and committing them to memory, such is the power of his pound-shop poetry. Selling stolen goods on street corners is definitely a hustle, and Jason Statham’s Bacon is definitely the best in the business. ![]() Movie***: Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels (1999) Easy-peasy! If only the mark in question didn’t work for Robert Shaw's vicious crime boss, eh? The greedy mark leaves, never intending to do the “injured” stranger a favour, only discovering later he’s been duped. The third man shows him how its done with his own drawers, swapping this new bundle with another handkerchief-parcel full of toilet roll he’d already hidden in his undercrackers. The mark agrees, but before he goes to do this poor so-and-so a favour, the third man offers the mark some advice: wrap up the money in a handkerchief, put your own cash in there just in case, then stuff it down your trousers so no-one will find it. ![]() The entirely-not-actually-injured man asks the mark to take a wad of cash to a drop-off point down the road, before it’s too late. ![]() Requiring three men in the know, this manoeuvre has a fake assailant “injure” a man who says he works for the local slots racket. To save the big reveal for anyone who hasn’t seen the Oscar-winning Paul Newman and Robert Redford crime caper, let’s put the film’s final sting to one side, and concentrate on the opening hustle. Sometimes, the con is the toughest one of all: being better than anyone else in the world.Įxtra bonus hustle: An older and possibly wiser Fast Eddie in Martin Scorsese’s sequel to The Hustler, The Color Of Money (1986), teaches Tom Cruise’s stick-spinning savant the fine art of pool sharking, notably taking an unsuspecting sucker down a peg or two to the tune of Warren Zevon’s ‘Werewolves Of London’ – the ultimate in humiliating defeat soundtracks. Fast Eddie hustles not to make big money per se, but to make just enough money to get to meet (and play and beat) the legendary Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) in New York. You think you’re playing just another Average Joe, and a few seconds later the 8-ball is circling around the far corner pocket. To paraphrase the man himself, he’s the best you’ve ever seen – and even if you beat him, he’s still the best. Making his way across country, pool table to pool table, “Fast" Eddie Felson’s hustling USP is a simple one: he’s the best. The name of the movie is The Hustler, and hustling is what The Hustler does. ![]()

![]() ![]() Mixolydian is a major scale with a flatted 7th. The above explanation probably will really only make sense with an example: I’m aware that all the above is a lot to grasp. This approach is mostly “key signature” driven. Then you make the appropriate alteration to that parallel major scale key signature to reflect the notes in that parallel mode. Instead, you think of the particular mode you are trying to figure out in terms of ITS PARALLEL MAJOR SCALE (the major scale starting from the same note as that mode). The parallel scale approach to figuring out what the notes are in a mode is less tedious than the system of counting scale steps to the relative major scale. Parallel scales are scales that start on the same starting note: E major scale, E minor scale, E Phrygian, E Mixolydian, E Locrian, etc… Phrygian is the 3rd mode (meaning: “it starts on the 3rd note”) of a major scale.Ĭounting back 2 whole steps (a major 3rd down): leads us to C major scale.Ĭonclusion: E Phrygian has the same notes as a C major scale.Į Phrygian consists of all white keys of the piano: no sharps or flats.

Slaves were given temporary freedoms, and moral restrictions were eased. The people enjoyed carnival-like festivities resembling modern Mardi Gras celebrations and even delayed their war-making. It honored Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture. In Ancient Rome, Saturnalia lasted for seven days. Newgrange, a prehistoric monument built in Ireland around 3200 BC, is associated with the Alban Arthan festival. ![]() Part of Druidic traditions, the winter solstice is considered a time of death and rebirth. It might be the oldest seasonal festival of humankind. In the Welsh language, “Alban Arthan” means for “Light of Winter,” according to the Farmers’ Almanac. As the planet moves around the sun, each hemisphere experiences winter when it’s tilted away from the sun and summer when it’s tilted toward the sun. What causes the winter solstice to even happen?īecause Earth is tilted on its rotational axis, we have changing seasons. It sits inside the Arctic Circle and won’t see a single ray of sunshine. ![]() But that’s downright generous compared with Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. Residents of Nome, Alaska, will be even more sunlight deprived with just three hours and 54 minutes and 31 seconds of very weak daylight. and set at 3:12 p.m., resulting in less than six hours of anemic daylight. The difference is more stark in frigid Oslo, Norway, where the sun will rise at 9:18 a.m. Much higher in latitude, Paris still logs in a respectable eight hours and 14 minutes of daylight to enjoy a chilly stroll along the Seine. The illuminated Pont Alexandre III spans the Seine, adding to the magic of Paris in winter. There, the December solstice marks the longest day of the year – and the beginning of summer – in places such as Argentina, Madagascar, New Zealand and South Africa. The situation is the reverse in the Southern Hemisphere, where only about 10% of the world’s population lives. The winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year and the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun appears at its most southerly position, directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn.

How this all works has fascinated people for thousands of years.įirst we’ll look at the science and precise timing behind the solstice. Winter solstice 2022, the shortest day of year and the official first day of winter, is on Wednesday, December 21 (well, for a decent chunk of the world anyway).
