Carlos Yulo 🇵🇭 vaults a masterful Blanik (handspring double... front pike). His legs and feet never come apart, his pike position is sublime, his landing extremely well controlled. He controls his Lopez well too, just a step back. 14.933 average gives Yulo the lead! #FIGWorldCupshow more

Toto is Ithumba’s new team leader – and he... brings a wonderful jauntiness to the role. This is a special privilege for our sweet, sensitive boy, who would never muscle his way into such a position. The rest of the herd happily falls into step and follows his infectiously happy lead. It makes us so happy to see how well Toto has settled into his new home. In April, Toto, Mwinzi, and Natibu graduated from Kaluku to our Ithumba Reintegration Unit, taking the next step in their gradual journey back to the wild. This was an especially big transition for little Toto, but he’s adapted marvellously. Read the full story of their graduation:show more

Played Brown Deer in Coralville, Iowa with my son... after showing him where his classes will be in the Fall Semester. I beat him handedly because I tried to weaken his insanely strong grip (which threw off his whole game). With a neutral grip and a little practice he would be a low handicap or scratch. He just took 8 years off to play lacrosse. When he controls his spin he hits the ball well over 300 yards and his wedge game is dangerous. Both my kids have better swings than dad.show more

Neil Pierre's is the toolsiest center back to come... through the USMNT pipeline in...forever? The 18-year-old is 6'7" and moves well for his size. Strong, too. He makes tracking back to win the ball + body a physical striker in Osaze De Rosario look easy. Promising talent. 🇺🇸show more

Still under observation but the Gaur is back on his feet and grazing well. A reminder to us all to be careful and not leave things carelessly in areas with wildlife.kudos to FD and his team #TNForest #Gaur #rescue #wildliferescue #IndianBisonshow more

[Doctor Ham Kiweon] 250530 A Face That Wins You... Over in Three Seconds on a Blind Date! Which Face Is Actually Popular on Blind Dates?? 🧑‍⚕️Today, we’re going to take a look at the characteristics of a likable and appealing impression in men. 🧑‍⚕️When it comes to a representative male face, BTS Jin is probably the one I like the most. If you look at Jin’s face, his eyebrows are quite thick, and his double eyelids aren’t too prominent. He has the classic inner double eyelids, a well-defined nose, and the overall balance of his face is really well-proportioned. I think his face leaves a very positive and memorable impression on people. #JIN #방탄소년단진 #JinxLaneige #JinxGucci #JinxFREDJewerly 방탄소년단show more

I genuinely didn’t know what to do with Billy... at the start. I thought it was a step too far when he was roaring crying in stress for days. But this is him today looking spectacular. A lovely kind person paid for his eyes to be fixed in April in an operation. Billy is about 7-8 we think. All being well is new life is only starting. We tried hard to find his backstory but nothing. Next step is more relaxing, then his operation and then a home. For now Billy is very happy and very well. Delighted for the little man (8/8)show more

“I just…never get to look at you like this.”... The corner of his mouth twitches into a smile. “You could have always looked,” he says in a low voice. “Just so you know.” “Well, you could’ve too,” I say. “Trust me,” he says. “I did.”show more

Khaman Maluach looks HUGE out there, but, part of... what made him such a promising prospect is how well he moves for his size And, in a league where size is back, he has the fluidity & skillset to be a core piece for Phoenix for years to comeshow more

We’ve seen guys like Judge, Stanton, Wells and others... tinker with their stances to get into a better hitting position to attack strikes in the zone. When a guy like Volpe has struggled to hit consistently for his first 3 years, is constantly late on mid-velocity heaters in the middle of the zone and is constantly off-balance when he misses the off-speed stuff; you think to take a look at his pre-pitch habits especially what he’s doing with his hands and stride, and consider eliminating some of the unnecessary movements to simplify things and be ready to attack a pitch in the strike zone sooner. Volpe starts with his hands high above his head with some waggle to probably keep his hands moving and stay in rhythm, then as he strides he drops his hands into the slot while he loads, then wraps his hands behind him as he strides and keeps his weight back on his backside. That front foot needs to get down early as he gets his hands back to be ready to smoke something in the zone. Why hasn’t someone suggested dropping his hands pre-pitch in his stance to get them into the slot early, keep them back to prevent wrapping, and cut out one less moving part to get him better ready to attack pitches in the zone? He can even still have some waggle back there if he prefers to keep his hands moving. In theory if his hands are down and back already, all he needs to do is get his front foot down in time? It’s worth a try lolshow more

Kante analogy spot on and extremely overt. Don Hutchinson... on Saka in 2022: “You’d never see him with a yellow tinge in his hair or earrings dangling. He’s just a humble guy who speaks very well” being black is fine as long as you’re not a big personality.show more

RHP/1B Trace Phillips (Middle Tennessee Baseball) is an interesting... draft-eligible sophomore on which to keep close tabs. Last spring, he hit .304/.360/.547 with 8 2B, 13 HR and 47 RBIs, but it’s his ability on the mound that's the root of his buzz. Phillips' back of the baseball card numbers last season are modest, but there is more to it than meets the eye. At 6'3" and 185-lbs, Phillips has an athletic, high-waisted frame. In the box, he has a simple setup with an ear-high handset and the bat horizontal above his back shoulder. Phillips has a slight load in which he has a noticeable barrel tip and a small stride. He moves well in the box and has some scissor action with his back leg. Phillips’ pure hit tool is fringey, but he has plus raw power and has shown the ability to drive the baseball to all fields. Max EV last spring of 109.4, if he's able to lift the ball more it will lead to a more impressive power output. Phillips’ current prospect status is largely driven by his ability on the mound. His numbers were unimpressive last season, but he took a step forward this fall. There’s some low hanging fruit to clean up in his delivery, but he has a short, whippy arm stroke and attacks from a low-three quarters slot with plenty of arm speed. Phillips’ FB has been up to 96 with ride through the zone (particular life at the top), though his best pitch is a high-70s-to-low-80s CH. He does a nice job of killing spin on it, and It averaged almost 15 MPH off his fastball this fall. It’s a plus pitch that flashes both fade to the arm side as well late tumble. Phillips completes his arsenal with a mid-80s slider that flashed above-average this fall with sharp, two-plane tilt. Both his changeup and slider profile as legitimate swing-and-miss offerings. Another positive development with Phillips this fall is that his strike-throwing took a step in the right direction. Mid-4th-6th round type this July. (📽️: Middle Tennessee Baseball)show more

Tackle so good even Joan Garcia had to come... out of his line just to applaud Cubarsi. This is why I’ll never criticize Cubarsi, because I know the talent that he is, he’s carrying our entire defense on his back at 19 while playing a risky high lineshow more

For one beautiful second, he thought they had come... for him. He jumped to his feet. His tail started wagging. He pressed his little face against the kennel door and watched the family walk closer. Then they stopped at the kennel next to his. He watched them lift another puppy into their arms. He watched them smile. He watched them leave. And still, he kept wagging. Only after the door closed did his tail slowly fall still. He sat there staring at the empty hallway, waiting for the footsteps to come back. When they didn’t, he curled up beside the gate and fell asleep facing the door. He wasn’t jealous. He just wanted to know what it felt like to be chosen. Somewhere, there is a family who could change his whole world simply by stopping at his kennel.show more

Mom here: Sam has been having a little trouble... with his back legs. Nothing new, just more dramatic lately. His back legs gave out trying to go up a flight of stairs - which is new. So we sat on the floor together and shared blueberries. Calling the vet to get him in for his Ketamine and Librela shot which always seem to help. Growing old is part of life, we will care for him just as he cared for me for so many years. Video: Sam lying on a tile floor being fed blueberries.show more
