California's venture capital firm Fifty Years is offering $25,000 loans with fewer payback demands to firms making hand sanitizers for hospital workers and at-home test kits. Also, Twitter and Square CEO Jake Dorsey says he's committing a third of his wealth to fight the pandemic. News from the technology world is on telemedicine, as well.

Stat:The Rare Investment Tool Behind Some Health Tech Coronavirus ProjectsExtraordinary times call for extraordinary financing instruments, according to one California venture capital firm. A San Francisco-based early-stage investor, Fifty Years, has offered $25,000 to 14 of the health tech companies its already invested in, all of which are now working on coronavirus-related projects and that money is coming with far fewer strings than usual. Its hoping the extra money will allow its portfolio companies to produce tests, treatments, or basic needed supplies like masks or hand sanitizers. (Sheridan, 4/8)

The New York Times:Jack Dorsey Vows To Donate $1 Billion To Fight The CoronavirusJack Dorsey, the chief executive of Twitter and Square, said on Tuesday that he planned to donate $1 billion, or just under a third of his total wealth, to relief programs related to the coronavirus, in one of the more significant efforts by a tech billionaire to fight the pandemic. Mr. Dorsey said he would put 28 percent of his wealth, in the form of shares in his mobile payments company Square, into a limited liability company that he had created, called Start Small. Start Small would make grants to beneficiaries, he said, with the expenditures to be recorded in a publicly accessible Google document. (Isaac, 4/7)

'All-Hands-On-Deck Moment': Investors In Tech World Provide 'Exotic' Methods To Provide Attractive Funding - Kaiser Health News

President, Sussex County Historical Society

Sam Hills grocery store, located at the corner of Spring Streetand Moran Street in Newton, was the last store on Spring Street to have a structural canopy over the sidewalk. In the mid-19th century, virtually all of the stores along Spring Street had such structures that provided protection to pedestrians from both the sun and rain. Retractable canvas awnings eventually replaced these fixed structures.

Commonly known as the Old Foundry Building, this building was constructed for George Nelden and Samuel Bodine, stove founders, in 1859. When originally constructed, this brick building was two stories in height, with a one-story and a two-story section attached to the rear of the main building. The building was constructed of locally manufactured brick, with the Spring Street front being four window bays wide. The street level front of the business was a simple door in the middle and flanked by two double hung windows.

Edward C. Moore dramatically altered the building with the addition of a third floor on the front section of the complex in 1882. The rear of the expanded building became four stories in the rear on the Moran Street side as the road goes downhill toward Trinity Street. This newer storefront was designed to reflect the style used in the late 1870s to early 1880s, which used large plate glass windows flanking a recessed entryway to the store. Wood panels with ornate moldings were normally installed beneath the large plates of glass for support, about two feet above the level of the sidewalk. In the case of this building, there is a doorway on the right hand side of the storefront that leads to a set of stairs providing access to the second and third floors.

By 1890, the foundry was no longer doing business on the site and a hardware store occupied the first floor of the front building, with the rear sections being used for storage of stock. The second and third floors of the front section were occupied by a printing company.

In 1897, S. Hill Jr. operated a grocery on the first floor of the corner building. A barber and a doctor, along with a residence, were located on the second floor. The barber pole striping was painted on the right side supporting column of the structural awning.

The sign on the second floor wall denotes the offices of Dr. N. Jacobus, who treated chronic diseases. The third floor provided the meeting rooms of the local chapter of the Improved Order of Red Men (I.O.R.M.). Their emblem can be seen between the middle windows on the top floor with the letters T.O.T.E. set on top of an old-fashioned battle axe. The I.O.R.M. is reputedly the oldest patriotic fraternal organization of American origin. Chartered by Congress, the fraternity traces its origins back to 1765 and claims to have been descended from the Revolutionary War era Sons of Liberty. The structure of the organization was patterned after the great Iroquois Confederation and its governing body. The I.O.R.M. still exists today and, in part, focuses its efforts on raising funds to assist Alzheimers research.

By 1912, a two-story and one-story section had been added to the east side of the existing rear portion of the building. These wood-framed additions were scheduled to be abandoned upon the completion of a new garage that was being constructed behind 130-144 Spring Street.

Sometime during the 1920s, the F.W. Woolworth Company took up occupancy of this building and became a very successful business on the street. By 1936, Woolworths had outgrown this space and acquired a one-story building at 141-143 Spring Street from John and Charles Hendershot, and relocated their business. That same year, Sears, Roebuck & Company moved into the corner building.

The store on the right side of the Old Foundry Building was originally constructed in 1863 as a blacksmith and harness makers shop by John and James English. As with several local businesses in town, the English brothers moved further east on Spring Street, thus allowing for the expansion of their growing company.

Here, in 1888, Fred Walker opened an ice cream parlor and confectionery. In 1909, Walker sold the business to his son-in-law Sutton Paddock, who continued the same trade. Three years later, in 1912, Paddock sold the business to William Klingener, who ran the commercial venture for many years.

The accompanying photograph shows the building when it was the home of S.J. Paddocks restaurant and ice cream parlor. A teen-aged girl, in her Sunday finery, is seen standing in the front doorway of the restaurant. The sign on the far right, partially hidden by a tree, advertises the sale of root beer, ginger ale, sarsaparilla, and birch beer bottled by A.B. Brickner in Newton. The a-frame advertising sign, placed in the street, notes that the restaurants address was 129 Spring Street. Apartments were located on the upper two floors.

Today, the Beehive Thrift Shop, operated by the Auxiliary of Newton Medical Center, occupies the first floor of the Old Foundry Building, while Sensible Addictions is the first floor tenant in the old Paddock building.

The ornate picket fence seen in the bottom right corner of the photograph was in front of a three-story wood-framed dwelling next to Paddocks establishment.

The three-story brick building on the left side of the image is located on the west side of the intersection and was known as the McCarter Building, constructed in 1864. Howells hardware and paint store was located on the first floor there for many years. In 1903, there was a harness shop on the second floor, and the Young Womans Christian Association was located on the top floor. In the middle of the last century, the Town of Newton had its municipal offices and the police department on the second floor. Today, the entire building is the home of McGovern and Roseman, P.A., a law firm specializing in general civil practice, litigation, land use, and criminal law cases. The firm acquired the structure in 1970 and, following renovation work, occupied the building in 1972.

The magnificent Fredley Manor, in Dorking, has entertained some of the world's most famous people in the past two hundred years, proving that some of the best parties happen outside London.

Set in 20 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland in a quiet corner of the Surrey Hills AONB, secluded, Grade II-listed Fredley Manor at Mickleham, near Dorking, is one of Surreys best-kept secrets.

Approached over a long, rising carriage drive and surrounded by National Trust land, it has a rural feel that belies its proximity to central London, which is just 27 miles away.

For sale through Knight Franks Cobham office at a guide price of 3.95 million, this elegant, 18th-century house was built around a 16th-century core with later additions.

Its present custodians, James and Cherry Fuller, bought Fredley Manor tactfully described as being in need of TLC in 1995. The Fullers have substantially renovated and extended the house, which now offers some 6,000sq ft of warm and welcoming living space, with all the rooms enjoying panoramic views of the impeccably landscaped gardens.

The ground floor comprises twin entrance halls, a sitting room, a panelled drawing room, a library, a dining room and a kitchen/breakfast room, plus a family room, a study and a cellar; the upper two floors house six bedrooms and six bathrooms, including a charming master suite.

The beautifully maintained grounds comprise eight acres of woodland, an eight-acre field, and roughly four acres of landscaped gardens that have been Mrs Fullers area of expertise.

They include manicured lawns, terraces, herbaceous borders, a swimming pool and pavilion, hard and grass tennis courts and a garage barn with space for three cars and an office above.

Also available, by separate negotiation, is a two-bedroom cottage with a garden and planning consent to extend to four bedrooms.

Fredley Manor also has a long history during which it has played host to some of the worlds great and good.

Originally a cottage on the ancient Fredley Manor estate, as the date-stone of 1597 over the front porch reveals, it was bought in 1803 by Richard Sharp, a successful West Indies trader, whose ready wit and social acumen earned him the nickname of Conversation Sharp.

Sharp divided his time between his house in Londons Park Lane and his gentrified cottage home at Fredley, where, between 1797 and 1835 the year he died he entertained an eclectic mix of writers, poets, thinkers and politicians, among them Sir Walter Scott, William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge, Michael Faraday, Lord Macaulay and the unforgiving Justice Jeffries, to name but a few.

Although Sharp himself never married, his adopted daughter, Maria Drummond, who was orphaned following a volcanic eruption on her native Caribbean island of St Vincent, inherited his fortune and went on to maintain his tradition of lavish entertaining, both in London and at Fredley, between 1843 and 1891.

The good times rolled again between 1970 and 1990, when Fredley Manor was owned by the Australian-born novelist, film director and producer James Clavell. Film and TV legends such as Roger Moore and Larry Hagman, together with high-powered executives from major Hollywood studios, were regular visitors to the Surrey manor.

The pace of life at Fredley is considerably more sedate now, although the opportunity is always there for lavish entertaining.

Fredley Manor is for sale with Knight Frank at a guide price of 3.95 million see more information and pictures.

BMWs latest motorcycle wonder, the R 18, is the freshest Bavarian creation, and the world keeps talking about it even days after it was launched by the Germans. But there are other BMW motorcycles worth talking about, both factory-made and custome, like the R nineT we have here.

The bike pictured here is the result of work conducted in Moscow by a builder called Zillers Garage, allegedly with the support of BMW Motorrad Russia. It is, in essence, a tuned-up, futuristic version of a stock R nineT.

Officially scheduled to have been shown at the now canceled Moscow motorcycle show, the bike made its online premiere this week. It presents itself as a stock two-wheeled Bimmer that sheds its skin and wrapps itself in a shell of aluminum, one that ends at the front with a large HID lamp that brings back memories of Lost in Spaces Robot.

According to the information available, the modifications made to the standard motorcycle include altering the suspension to bring the body closer to the ground, some changes to the brake and clutch levers, and the additions of buttons required to control the air suspension.

The engine of the R nineT remains the original one, and no modifications have been made to it. That translates into a 1,170cc powerplant, developing 110 hp and controlled by means of a six-speed transmission.

There is no word yet from Russia whether this concept is just a show motorcycle, or some production run is planned for those able and willing to pay.

Harry Potter author JK Rowling has bought her picturesque childhood home in Gloucestershire and is doing it up.

The writer said to be worth around 750 million secretly bought Church Cottage through a property company in her married name of Murray.

But now she is planning upgrade the Grade II-listed, stone cottage where as a 17-year-old she once wrote Joanne Rowling slept here circa 1982."

Planning agents have won permission to install two rear dormer windows and knock down and rebuild the garage at the Forest of Dean property which is said to have provided inspiration for Harry Potter books.

Scaffolding has gone up around the cottage in Tutshill where Rowling lived with her beloved mother Anne, father Peter, who worked for Rolls Royce, and sister Diane from the age of nine to 18.

During her teens she was head girl at the nearby Wyedean School in Sedbury and characters such as Snape and Ron Weasley are said to be based on teachers and friends she had at the time.

After A-levels she moved out to study French and Classics at Exeter University before studying in Paris and moving to London to work for Amnesty International and then Scotland.

The rest is history and there have been indications that JK , 54, doesnt have many happy memories of the cottage where her mother Anne, a lab technician at the school, developed MS and died ten years later.

Apart from naming a Quidditch team Tutshill Tornadoes she was believed to have severed all ties with the area which many believe is the basis for an unflattering portrait of village life in her first adult novel, The Casual Vacancy.

After her mother died in 1990 her father rented out the detached three-bedroomed property and then sold it to to BBC producer Julian Mercer in 1995 who kept the writer's signature.

When he put it on the market for 399,950 in 2011 many noticed the similarities between the cottage and the Harry Potter books.

For instance it has a dingy cupboard under the stairs similar to the one auntie Petunia and uncle Vernon Dursley forced Harry Potter to live in before he left for Hogwarts.

It also has a cellar reminiscent of the one where Harry searches for the Philosopher's Stone in the first novel.

The cottage was sold for the asking price to a mystery buyer and Land Registry searches show this was a dormant company, Edinburgh-based Caernarfon Lettings Ltd.

The author's Scottish husband Dr Neil Murray is a director of Caernarfon Lettings Ltd. but Companies House lists Mrs Joanne Kathleen Murray as the person with significant control.

In January 2019 agents obtained planning permission to change the windows and garage at the historic building after a detailed report was submitted listing all the work that was needed doing to restore it to its former glory.

The report said the roof needs stripping back and repaired with the same tiles, the secondary glazing should be repaired, the plastic gutters replaced with metal ones, the chimneys swept and the bathroom replaced.

The report made clear the owners intended to keep original features like cast iron fireplaces, lime plaster, wooden floorboards and cottage style doors and take out modern additions such as plasterboard, vinyl floors and bathroom tiles.

The quarry tiled floor around the trap door is to be repaired and retained and the house redecorated says he report.

But the report does not mention what will happen to Rowlings autograph scratched into the paintwork by her bedroom window.

And there is widespread local speculation about why she bought the cottage, she has only been spotted there a handful of times since leaving.

Some have said the writer known for championing one parent families originally planned to turn it into a holiday home for deprived families and others said that it is simply part of a wider plan to buy up her past to protect the Harry Potter brand from being exploited.

Or she could just be bored and looking for a second home. Last month it was reported that she was renovating her 2 million Edinburgh home and getting a new kitchen, scullery, pantry and boot room put in as part of her efforts to restore it to its Victorian glory.

According to the Daily Mail she was also putting up security gates at her 162-acre Perthshire estate at the same time.

After the Casual Vacancy caused disquiet in the local area one writer mused that Church Cottage was unlikely to ever see a window ledge etched with the words: 'Joanne Rowling slept here circa 2012.

But who knows. Harry Potter may have worked his magic on the writer and brought her back to her roots.

Could we see 'Joanne Murray slept here circa 2020?

GloucesteshireLive has attempted to contact Mrs Murray through Turcan Connell Solicitors and Asset Managers which act as company secretaries.

Los Angeles Clippers big man Patrick Patterson was recently a guest on The HoopsHype Podcast. Listen to the interview above or read the transcribed conversation below.

What was your reaction when the NBA announced that they were suspending the season after Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus?

Patrick Patterson: Initially, it was disbelief. There was also a little bit of anger just because, being an athlete playing in the NBA, you want to compete. You want to play the game that you love and you want to be out there as much as possible, so there was a little bit of anger and a lot of disbelief, a lot of questions. Why? How? Obviously, Whats next? It took me a while actually to get around to, Okay, are those guys alright? Is anyone else infected with the virus? Whats the next move for them? Are they going to be stuck there, quarantined, or do they get to fly back? What about their families? It took me a while to get around to the virus itself and the players and individuals and families and fans that were around them and have been around them. But initially, man, I would say just like a lot of people it was just a whole bunch of disbelief and questions and a little bit of anger.

With the NBA lifestyle, youre traveling so much and interacting with many different people. Were you concerned that you could be at risk?

PP: Yeah, definitely, especially when we were playing for a while and the virus was talked about and, all of a sudden, the NBA puts out a statement saying that players can no longer really interact with the fans on a personal level no slapping hands or grabbing markers to autograph items. They said, Maybe just fist-bump. So, there was a little bit of worry during that time period as far as, Okay, maybe a fan could actually have it and then you could contract it if you tried to take a picture with them or put your arm around them or if they handed you an item to sign. They couldve handed you a marker with a card or a piece of paper or a shirt, and a lot of guys high-five fans before and after the game, so there was a little bit of concern going on.

Then, with your teammates, youre with them every single day, hours upon hours. Theyre around their families and you dont know where they go; they hang out with different people, so there was always that chance of them getting it and handing it over to you. I think the big thing was once it came out that there are people who are asymptomatic and can get the virus and not experience any symptoms whatsoever and feel completely healthy but they technically still have it in them and the ability to spread it, I think the worries just went through the roof after that.

Because the season may resume at some point soon, players are being told to stay in shape from home. Unless you have an in-home court or gym, youre sort of limited in what you can do (and most players dont have either of those). What have you been doing to work out at home?

PP: Its been a challenge. During the offseason, guys have the ability to go to different gyms to work out with their trainers and play pick-up basketball with other athletes. And, on top of that, you have your strength-and-conditioning coach that youre with all the time in the facility. You have your circle around you that you trust and know that you can work out with whenever you want. Now, for me, I live in an apartment, so its difficult to set up situations where I can get all of that. Thankfully, the team sent out a few items that can help me with my workouts and I moved all of my cars out of the garage and Ill do an hour workout in the garage with all of the items that I have. I mix in runs in certain areas in L.A. that have hills. Ill mix in yoga sessions in the garage; I go on YouTube and type in yoga and then do a yoga session. Thats really all I can do right now. Some people I know have a gym and an actual basketball court in their home, but I dont have that. I actually thought about hitting up Lou [Williams], Kawhi [Leonard] or Paul [George] and being like, Hey, can I borrow your court for a little bit? or, Can I borrow your gym just to get a workout in? For a lot of those guys in the upper echelon who have the large homes with a court and a large gym in them, its easier for them to stay in shape just because they have all the equipment. But, for me, its just trying to get things that can help me stay in shape and stay ready for whenever we do get that call to come back.

Since most players dont have access to a court or gym, players could be at a higher risk for injuries if this stoppage goes on for a while and then the NBA tries to resume the season quickly. An NBA strength-and-conditioning coach recently told me that hes concerned about players getting injured when they return. Do you agree thats a concern?

PP: Yeah, thats definitely on my mind. I couldve sworn I heard something on ESPN or the radio I cant remember but someone said that these playoffs are going to be the best playoffs that have ever happened in the NBA, like, You give these guys two or three months to rest their bodies and heal up and then unleash them back on the court, its gonna be amazing! Im like, No. Right now, with the virus and everything going on, certain guys have courts and have better opportunities to stay fit, stay in shape and fix their bodies. But for everyone else, you cant really go work out, you cant go to the gym, you cant go to certain facilities to do what you do. And some guys may fall into that mindset or routine, like, Okay, tomorrow Im gonna workout. Then, its, The next day, Im gonna workout. Or, Im just gonna do a little bit now and then Ill do more tomorrow, but then you dont do anything tomorrow.

Theres a lot more free time, theres a lot more ability to not work out, to not train, to not do what you do every single year to make sure your body is strong and healthy. And, during this time, there could be a number of guys who are just being lazy, who are just sleeping in and playing video games, who are not working out so theyre putting on pounds, losing muscle and strength and mobility and durability in their muscles and bones and joints. And then, next thing you know, the season starts back up again and they give us a couple weeks before we go to [finish the] regular season or we go straight to the playoffs, and guys bodies arent nearly the same as they were before the stoppage began. So, there is concern. I do have concern for myself and other guys across the league who may not take this break seriously and try to rest a little too much or who dont have the equipment and everything that they need to get stronger, stay ready and stay prepared.

For sure. You mentioned that the Clippers sent you some equipment to help you work out at home. I know some teams have sent treadmills or exercise bikes or weights to players. Some teams are sending different workouts to the players as well. What exactly did the Clippers send you?

PP: Yeah, so everything is different for different teams. Some teams have sent out treadmills, like you said. Ive heard of teams sending ladders and Ive heard of teams sending ellipticals. Ive heard a number of things that certain guys across the league have gotten from their team and their own strength coach. For me, personally, Ive received ladders, weights, resistance bands, medicine balls, BOSU balls, benches, boxes, jump-ropes I have pretty much everything that I need of course, minus a treadmill. But I basically have everything that I need.

As far as what we do as a team, I want to say three-to-four times a week, our strength coach puts us all in a Zoom session and every morning around, like, 10 a.m. there will be some type of hour-long workout. We all just sign in on the Zoom session and our trainer is right there, leading a workout for an hour. Thats what we do. Im not sure what everyone else does, but I feel like theres some type of set-up across the league that allows guys to at least get in an hour-long workout with equipment that has been sent from the team and with either their strength coach or a yoga instructor if they have a yoga instructor on the team. I know guys who are doing yoga sessions to keep their body mobile and their joints good and their muscles loose. The Clippers have done a great job, a solid job, getting us the equipment that we need to set up in our homes so we can stay in shape and stay ready to the best of our abilities.

Hopefully, this virus will get contained soon and things can start returning to normal. The NBA is obviously hoping to resume the season and crown a 2020 champion. What are the Clippers telling you guys when it comes to the possibility of the season resuming?

PP: Everyone from the Players Union to the coaching staff to the people within the Clippers organization seem to be confident that the season will continue at some point this year. Whether thats in the summer or whether thats in August, at some point the season will begin and they will finish it. How the season will finish off and play out is a big question whether you get a little bit of training camp and regular season and then playoffs, or a little bit of training camp and you go straight to the playoffs [remains to be seen]. The playoffs could be the best-of-three or the best-of-five or whatever it may be; it could be shorter. No one really knows. But the number one thing right now that I seem to be getting from everyone is that the season will commence at some point, just no one really knows when. Things seem to be changing, of course, with the virus and the virus ability to affect others and the population. People [are still] getting sick right now, so no one knows when its going to begin. But I think the important thing for us in the NBA, as far as our job goes, is that it will commence at some point.

What does a typical day look like for you right now?

PP: Man, I wake up usually around 10 a.m. and have some breakfast. I do a little hour or hour-and-a-half workout, whether thats strength-and-conditioning or going on a run or yoga; I mix it up every other day. I have lunch, then Im writing, reading, playing video games or watching TV shows or movies on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO, whatever it may be. Then, I have dinner and then I do the same thing until I fall asleep with video games and TV. And then, literally, the same thing the next day. Every day is basically the exact same right now. Im trying to stay home as much as possible, so the only time I really leave the house is to grab groceries (and Im careful with that whole process) or to go for some type of run somewhere in my neighborhood.

What shows have you been watching? I know everyone is talking about Tiger King, so I watched that. I finally saw Billions too.

PP: Man, the amount of shows that I have watched during this time is incredible. Of course, Ozark. I think everyone was waiting on that to finally drop, so I watched that. Tiger King. I found a show called Kingdom. Altered Carbon. The Stranger, which I finished last night. On My Block. The Sinner. I even watched Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Thats what the quarantine is doing to me right now (laughs). Theres so much stuff that Ive watched. One of my friends told me to watch Righteous Gemstones, which is on HBO NOW. There was another one on HBO, The Outsider, which I watched. Im literally flying through shows, its incredible.

Ive been so impressed with the NBA players who are donating to nonprofits impacted by COVID-19, paying the arena employees who are out of work and so on. In some cases, the players have stepped up way more than the billionaire owners. How proud are you to see the NBA community making a difference?

PP: Oh, Im very proud of my NBA brotherhood stepping up and helping out those who are less fortunate, [helping] the workers, having meals sent out to families that need food, being a part of food drives and donating to people who are in a position to get food to people. I think the guys in the NBA are doing a great job. A little bit goes a long way. It doesnt matter how much you donate, but if you do, trust me, it goes a long way. Im very proud of those guys. My wife got us to help and donate to animal shelters where, obviously, a lot of pets and animals are hanging out and dont have the ability to have a roof over their heads and a meal every single day and, with the virus, there cant be a lot of workers and people around them so we wanted to help out L.A. dog shelters and donate to them to help out the animals and hopefully get animals into homes. People are home right now and cant do anything and youre alone and bored. What better thing to cheer you up right now and occupy your time than a dog? So my wife and I helped out with that. Shout out to guys in the NBA, NFL NHL or WNBA [who stepped up] and anyone who isnt an athlete who helped out the people in their neighborhood and their district. I just think its big that we all come together and help out each other in some type of way.

Also, the NBA donated $50 million and they made a huge impact when they decided to suspend the season. I think that caused many other sports leagues and businesses to shut down, which probably saved lives.

PP: I agree. The NBA stepping up and doing something like that most likely had a positive effect on the outcome of this situation. If they didnt do anything and waited another couple of days or even a week, who knows where we would be right now?

As viewers, were all missing basketball because we want a distraction now more than ever. But, as a player, youve played basketball just about every day since you were very young. How much are you missing basketball and five-on-five right about now?

PP: Oh, Im missing it so much, like crazy. Im talking to a couple of guys who retired and obviously its not the same level its a different feeling but Ive just been talking to guys who retired and are no longer playing the game that they love and just trying to get feedback and advice. Once they retired and they knew they werent playing anymore, what was their mindset? What did they do? What were their next moves? How did they wake up every single day to do something [else]? Im just trying to apply what [theyve told me] in the conversations that Ive had with them because although basketball will resume at some point, people always talk about life after basketball. I think right now is a big opportunity for guys across the league to, of course, stay in shape and stay focused, but also to look at different aspects of life like, Okay, if this was the end of my basketball career, what would I do? Would you still be working out as much? Do you think youd have a plan in order to generate income or keep yourself busy and take care of your family? For me, it sucks and I want to play. I love basketball and Ive played my whole life. But, right now, Im thinking about life after basketball too. What can I do to make myself more comfortable with that day when it finally comes? So, thats just the whole mindset that Im trying to put myself in right now, just trying to stay away from, Man, I cant play the game I love [Instead], Im getting in the mindset of, Alright, what can I do now to solidify myself later on down the road whenever that day comes?

Thats really smart. I feel like the players who struggle in retirement are the ones who never thought about life after basketball and then theyre suddenly thrown into it. Planning ahead is so important and a number of retired players have given that advice on this podcast, so I love that youre doing that. What do you want to do after basketball? Hopefully thats not for a while, but do you know what youd want to do next?

PP: Yeah, hopefully thats not for at least another five years. But yeah, for me, I love movies Im huge on movies so me and a good friend of mine that Ive known for quite some time plan on starting our own production company and creating and producing our own films and TV shows. Our ultimate dream and ultimate goal is to get [a film] into South by Southwest, TIFF or the Sundance Film Festival and maybe a huge company picks it up or maybe it goes to a theater or at least gets to Hulu or Netflix or some type of streaming network. Thats the ultimate goal. Thats the ultimate dream. The past couple of years, Im just trying to piece by piece put that together. And now, like I said, during this whole situation, I feel like this is as great an opportunity as any to actually put the hard hat on and focus a lot more on that.

Speaking of movies, you do a thing called Lockdown Movie Night where you watch a movie on Netflix with your Instagram followers and do a Q&A while everyone watches the film. How did that come together?

PP: I used to do this thing during the year called Pat Presents and get a movie before it was released in theaters and pick 100-to-200 fans and all of us would just get together in a movie theater and sit down, have some snacks and watch the movie. Then, Id take pictures, sign autographs and talk to them afterward. I used to do that, like, once a month. Since this situation has happened and I can no longer do that, now well watch a movie via Netflix all 50 of us at the same time. We all jump in a chat room, talk back and forth about the movie, what everyones been up to, our families and they can ask me questions about the season and just whatever comes to mind. Then, once the movie is over, we hold a quick Q&A about three-to-five questions and whoever gets the questions, right, Ill send them a little care package with some Clippers stuff, some autographed stuff and some memorabilia. Ill send it their way. Its something that I started doing last week. Ive had two and the third one will be tonight (4/10). I hold it on my Instagram (@pdpatt) and anyone who wants to be a part of it can just comment under the post and I just randomly pick the fans and send them a quick DM with the link and then we all just hang out and watch a movie on Netflix.

Thats awesome. Whats your favorite movie of all-time?

PP: For me, its tough, so I usually do it by genre. My favorite drama of all-time is Gladiator. My favorite horror movie of all-time is the original Nightmare on Elm Street. My favorite comedy is a toss-up between Superbad and Step Brothers. My favorite thriller would be Se7en with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. Action is the toughest one because theres like crazy good action movies every single year, from Marvel to even one of the Fast and Furious movies (I think it was 5 or 6, I cant remember which one it was). There are just so many great action movies that come out every year, its hard for me to pick one. For sci-fi, either the original Alien movie or the original Blade Runner or The Matrix, which is solid as well. I have to do it by genre since Im a huge movie fan, a huge movie buff, so its hard for me to only pick one.

Lets talk about the season a bit. Your Clippers were 44-20 and one of the top teams in the NBA before the season was suspended. Is it even more frustrating that this happened during a season when you are potentially so close to competing for a championship?

PP: Oh, yeah. I havent been in this type of situation as far as my chances to win a championship since one of my years in Toronto, so its tough, especially like right now since we just acquired Marcus Morris and were working him into the system. Everyone was getting more comfortable with each other on the court Joakim Noah, Reggie Jackson. We were just getting all these new additions to the team and starting to gel and figuring each other out and figuring out what we need to be and what we need to do and starting to gain some momentum and then next thing you know, at the snap of a finger, and were where we are now. Then, its like, Okay, back to the drawing board again once this whole ordeal ends. But being in one of the best situations Ive had in my life as far as chances to make it to the Finals and having great guys on my team that I genuinely enjoy being around every single day from Lou [Williams] to Pat [Beverley] to Trez [Harrell] to JaMychal [Green] to Paul [George] to Kawhi [Leonard] and the list goes on and on, all of those guys are such fun, great guys to be around having to take a step back from all that right now sucks. It definitely sucks, which is why Im eagerly waiting for it to all start back up again.

The Clippers entered this season with a lot of new players and two new focal points in Kawhi Leonard and Paul George and then continued adding more players throughout the year. Was it tough to get everyone on the same page and develop chemistry?

PP: Yeah, we went a long time without having a full roster, a healthy roster, where every single individual suited up for the game. Weve had guys in and out; weve had games without Kawhi, we had a whole bunch of games without Paul to start the season, Pat went down, Lou had something, Trez had something, Sham (Landry Shamet) had something It just felt like there wasnt really one game where we were fully healthy or we at least had everyone suited up and available to play. We had guys in and out lineups, which I think is a good thing, ultimately, in the long run just because weve had opportunities and chances to play with different lineups and different people out there on the court, so different guys have been in game-time situations [together]. As the season progressed and guys started getting healthy and getting back out there on the court and we were acquiring guys here and there steadily throughout the season just great additions to the team everyone was just having a good time with each other, having fun out there on the court and just joking in the locker room. It was a good process. It was a roller coaster, up and down, losing some games that we shouldve won, having situations with guys getting hurt that you dont want to get hurt and you wanted them out there as fast as possible, but I think, ultimately, at the end, we all came together and we were all on the same page and focused and ready to make a solid push toward the championship.

How much communication have you had with your teammates at this time?

PP: We talk every day. Theres always at least someone talking in the group chat, so were all connected via our iMessage and there seems to be communication with at least two people every single day. Someone will send a meme. Someone will send some type of update with the COVID-19 crisis going on in the world. Of course, right now, theres that Players Only NBA 2K challenge going on. Trez is playing and Pat played the other day, so [were discussing that]. Theres constant communication going on with us. Even though we cant be around each other, guys are still talking and checking up on each others families and making sure everyones working out and staying ready.

Whats it like playing with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and does that duo make life easier for everyone around them?

PP: Yeah, it makes everything easy. Im very blessed to have Paul, and Kawhi as teammates. Theyre great guys, great family men. They care about the team. They care about winning and they always care about doing the right thing. For me, it makes my job easier and definitely more fun, being out there on the court playing alongside them. And then, of course, you throw in Lou Williams, whos arguably one of the best sixth men to ever play the game I have him and Jamal Crawford [as the best] and then Trez and his ability to score at will and just be dominant out there on the court and all those guys, it makes stepping out there on the court and my job a lot easier and more fun.

The Clippers and Lakers were widely regarded as the two best teams in the Western Conference and both were being picked as possible champions. Whats it been like to experience that Clippers-Lakers rivalry firsthand?

PP: Its nothing but pure entertainment seeing the fans and the people all throughout the city of L.A. Right now, everyone knows L.A. is a Lakers town, its Laker city. Were hoping we can change that, obviously, with the championship this year. But this is pure entertainment, man. The fans make it enjoyable with the bickering back and forth and the banter and just the energy. Whenever you step on the court against the Lakers, whether theyre the home team or were the home team, you just know that its going to be a tough, hard-fought game with a lot of passion behind each and every play. So, its just entertainment. Its just pure joy and pure entertainment.
