more GOLF micro-mechanics that will break your brain If... you release the #golf club earlier or later, that changes both low point and arc depth. This has a dramatic effect on ground contact location. Here's the scary part. An earlier release that creates just 2 degrees less shaft lean at impact is the difference between a flush strike and laying a divot over the ball. This is just another reason why your golf swing can feel the same from swing to swing, yet produce incredibly different results. If you want to learn the truth, as well as what to do about it, I put together an incredibly geeky golf webinar (7 Advanced Ways To Improve Your Game) which you can get (see next attached tweet/post)show more

Want to jump higher? Unpopular truth: fat don’t fly.... Before you start crying about body shaming or act like this is skinnytok, let's get into our DeLoreans and revisit physics class!! Newton's 2nd Law a=F/m Same force with more mass = less acceleration which in this case = less height. Want to increase acceleration (and its byproduct jump height)? Either going to have to increase the numerator (force) or decrease the denominator (mass). That's not an opinion, it's math and science. And that math/science is on display here as you have two medballs acted upon by the same force traveling different distances due to differing mass. Now let's walk across the hall to anatomy and physiology class...yes, you need body fat. It's critical to be healthy and function. This isn't advocating for just losing weight or being "thin" or whatever. It's for optimizing body composition to where you perform at your best. With that, you need muscle mass to produce FORCE. And many younger volleyball players will benefit tremendously from an increase in muscle mass. This increase in muscle mass stands to increase force production, improve body composition, and create a net positive effect on performance (within reason we all know we're not training linebackers). But an increase in unnecessary fat mass typically has the opposite effect. Hence the statement: fat don't fly. Every athlete has an optimal body composition. Find yours through consistent strength training, adequate fueling, proper hydration and sleep and...planned recovery days.show more

Andrew Neil has once again perfectly summed up the... rotten, self-serving core of British politics: “It’s once again politicians using the political system to their advantage, at the expense of the people. Labour did it in Makerfield Nigel Farage is doing it in Clacton.” 🎯 Farage resigns his Clacton seat and forces a by-election to dodge scrutiny over donations, framing it as people versus the establishment. The big parties refuse to contest it, exposing the whole exercise as a cynical farce. Labour pulled the exact same trick in Makerfield, forcing a vacancy so Andy Burnham could parachute in and challenge Starmer for the leadership. No hand-wringing about democracy or taxpayer costs then. Just naked self-interest. This perfectly illustrates how politicians of all stripes treat the system as their personal plaything. These people are not public servants. They are careerists who manipulate by-elections, rules and voters for power and survival. They bend the rules when it suits them and howl with outrage when others do the same. Andrew Neil exposes the hypocrisy. The entire class is in it for themselves, and the public always pays the price.show more

Is your toddler suddenly throwing (or dropping) everything they... get their hands on? Food, toys… you name it. You’re not alone. This week I’ve been introducing play schemas, 9 common patterns that can help to demystify your toddler’s seemingly random behaviors. And you guessed it: this is one. We call it the trajectory schema. If you take nothing else away from this post, let it be this: your little one doesn’t throw things because they are misbehaving or “bad.” Babies throw things because they are babies. And they are learning as they do so. Learning about cause and effect. Learning about gravity. Learning what (and practicing something new) they can do with their bodies. Learning hand-eye coordination. It’s a completely normal part of development. And the fascination won’t last forever. The real question is, how do you manage it? First, be proactive. Expect that anything your little one handles might reasonably be thrown or dropped. So choose wisely, avoiding items that are valuable or might pose a danger to them or others if they suddenly took flight. Second, depending on the age of your child, begin introducing some natural consequences. Put the toy/object away temporarily after it is thrown (if throwing it is dangerous or inappropriate). And involve your child in the subsequent clean-up. You can also redirect. Explain which things are and are not for throwing. Model the correct use of these objects. Finally, lean into it. Recognizing that young children are drawn to throwing, provide items that are safe and acceptable to throw. Soft toys. Socks. Balls. And look for opportunities and settings for your little one to explore this urge safely and appropriately. How did you manage your toddler’s throwing phase? Welcome your tips and tricks!

Nobody’s perfect. This week I’ve been exploring attachment, a... deep emotional bond between infants and their parents. In prior posts we’ve discussed four different attachment styles, with an emphasis on the most desirable and healthy of them all: secure attachment. Yesterday I emphasized that attachment styles result not from how you interact with your child SOME of the time, but how you interact ALL of the time - by which I mean that the totality of your interactions and the consistent and predictable patterns you establish with your child are what determines these outcomes. For this reason, your default mode should be warm and responsive. But today I want to insert a small, but important, caveat. Or at least a little more nuance. Nobody’s perfect. Nobody. As a well-intentioned parent it’s easy to hold yourself to an impossibly high standard. And that’s a recipe for fueling your own anxiety and ill health. The truth is that you can’t be instantly responsive 24/7 to your child’s every possible need. This isn’t an excuse to slack off. But it is a reminder to be kind to yourself. Parents are human. And we all have our lesser moments. We can be moody, stressed, exhausted... Sometimes we’re upset. Or distracted. And sometimes you need to take a shower. Or answer a knock on the door. Life happens. And the last thing I want you to take away from this conversation is a sense that any missed opportunity - or even the occasional boneheaded mistake - will cause your child irreparable harm. Instead think of attachment kind of like a jury might in a civil trial: what does the preponderance of the evidence suggest? Are you ALMOST always meeting your mark? If so, take this post as a little peace of mind. Secure attachment doesn’t require a perfect report card. If it did, secure attachments likely wouldn’t exist. The late pediatrician Donald Winnicot is credited with the concept of “good enough parenting” - which I’ve always found to be a really useful frame. This same concept holds true for lots of other advice that I’ve offered, by the way. Do you want to plop your baby in front of a screen all day? Absolutely not. Is it realistic to think they’ll never be exposed to one? Also probably not. Parenting isn’t an all or nothing proposition. So aim high… but give yourself a little grace. As instructed in this video posted to IG by digitalmumincome, I’m sharing it to let you know you’re doing an amazing job. (If you read regularly you’ll know this child is actually in active sleep - which sometimes includes eye opening… and most likely smiling reflexively…but it’s cute and its other message fits today’s post. So just enjoy!)show more

Autodesk’s fine has bankrupted our small studio. A few... months ago, we made a serious mistake - we bought a Maya license from a fraudulent third-party seller. Autodesk hit us with a massive fine, far larger than the original error. Even after we explained our situation as a two-person indie team, they still enforced it in full. This has been incredibly tough and made us question everything. But after 7 years of hard work, we’re not ready to give up!

Stop thinking every bit of fitness has to come... from running. Off-feet conditioning is massively underrated in GAA. It’s fitness without the impact: bike, rower, pool work, Ski Erg. Perfect for injured lads, load management, or top-ups. Three big wins: keeps players fit in rehab, reduces stress during busy weeks, and builds aerobic fitness without wrecking joints. Your lungs don’t care if it’s a hill sprint or an assault bike. Energy systems transfer — that’s what matters. How to use it: LISS for aerobic base, extensive intervals for conditioning, HIIT for speed & power, Tabata for game-intensity bursts. Example Tabata on the bike? 5-min warm-up → 10 rounds of 20:20 at 65–75 RPM → 5-min cooldown. Short, brutal, effective. Final word: Off-feet training won’t replace running; but it adds depth, aids recovery, and keeps players sharp. If you’re not using it, you’re missing a trick.show more

Speaking of Dreams.. still kinda crazy to me how... perfect of a match a tool like that is for generative AI workflows. Intuitive game engine/creative sandbox that allows you to build almost anything, running underneath a Gen AI render. Sculpting, painting, interacting with your two hands in 3d space, here using two move controllers which by now is tech from 2010. I haven't seen ANY way to interact with 3d that allows for the same fast and intuitive sculpting without forcing you to wear a VR headset. I made this scene a few years ago in 2 and a half hour or so as part of a 1 scene pr. episode of The Last of Us, and ran it through a combo of Runway and Sora to get to this result.show more

this effect is all over tiktok right now and... nobody's explaining how to actually do it properly... the 3d balloon character thing. where someone turns into a shiny inflatable version of themselves that still moves and talks. looks pretty smooth in feeds. the workflow is stupid simple once you see it. step 1: take any photo. drop it into an image gen tool (nano banana pro). prompt it with something like "make the person in the photo a plastic blow up balloon character with a shiny surface. keep the face details as 3d balloon details including the person in the background. don't change background" that's it for the image. don't overcomplicate the prompt. shorter = more consistent results. (learned this after wasting like 2 hours trying to get "perfect" prompts that kept giving me garbage) step 2: take that balloon image + your original video and drop both into kling motion control. prompt: "turn the motion and detailed mouth movement of the video to the setting of the image" that's literally it. kling maps the motion from the real video onto the balloon character. mouth moves. head turns. expressions transfer. the whole thing renders in a few minutes. the result looks like a $500 custom animation and costs you maybe $0.30 in kling credits. people are getting 500k+ views with these because the scroll-stop factor is insane. nobody expects to see a shiny inflatable version of someone giving a real speech or doing a product review. the play here is obvious btw. run this for client content (mix with the hook and real body, check the results yourself) or use it on your own faceless channels as a hook pattern before the algo catches up...show more

So a lot has been said about Hearts players... being assaulted without any evidence to back it up. Edited footage of the attached video, shows a Celtic fan pushing a Hearts player - I can't distinguish who but others will be able to - however, the edited footage does not tell the full story or context suiting the agendas of those posting it up. The attached video shows the full interaction between the Hearts player and Celtic fan - and here is my take on it along with references to Scots Law after speaking to an acquaintance within the field. The Celtic fan, like others on the pitch, can be charged with Breach of the Peace for simply entering the field of play and the Celtic fan in question will almost certainly face such a charge. However, here is where it gets sticky. He is not breaking the law by simply goading or laughing at the Hearts player and videoing it. Under Scots Law, if someone knocks your phone out of your hand and then proceeds to stamp on it repeatedly - as the Hearts player did - then they can be charged with criminal damage (vandalism under the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995). Under section 52 of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995, vandalism is committed when someone “wilfully or recklessly” destroys or damages property belonging to another “without reasonable excuse.” A mobile phone clearly falls within “property belonging to another,” and repeatedly stamping on it generally satisfies the “without reasonable excuse” and “wilful or reckless” requirements. It doesn’t matter if the incident happens on public/private property or in this case on a football pitch. The person who stomps on the phone is still potentially facing a charge for vandalism, even if the Celtic fan seen here is committing a breach of the peace by entering the field of play. The breach of the peace charge would be dealt with separately, it doesn’t erase the Hearts player's criminal responsibility for trying to destroy the fan's property. The Celtic fan is then seen pushing the footballer away in order to stop them from destroying their phone/property and attempts to recover it before stewards pounce on him, that push may amount to lawful self-defence or defence of property if it's proportionate and immediate, which in this case seems to be the case. Under Scots law, force is allowed if there’s an imminent threat, that the force is necessary, and it’s not excessive. A brief, measured push to create distance or break contact is usually treated as reasonable, not criminal assault. The Hearts player fell into this category when he initially swatted the phone out of the fan's hand and so too did the fan by pushing the Hearts player away in an attempt to retrieve his property. But as soon as the Hearts player started stamping on the phone that is deemed excessive force. Legally, the fan's breach of the peace [invasion of the pitch and goading] doesn’t give the Hearts player a licence to destroy the fan's property; and the fan's efforts to protect his own property can be deemed lawful, as long as the force used is proportionate and immediate. And yet, given the nature of the pitch invasion and the media coverage of it - the Hearts player could ultimately dodge any charge not because he is not guilty of committing a crime, but because the COPFS apply the 'public interest' test - even if evidence exists, they may conclude that prosecution is not in the public interest because of factors such as: 1. The relatively low value of the phone vs wider consequences (a star player, media circus, club reputation) 2. The player’s status and the likely impact on the sport or club 3. Whether alternative measures (internal club sanctions, fines, apologies, civil settlement) are seen as “sufficient.” Prosecutors are not obliged to prosecute every technically guilty act. As for the fan, as mentioned earlier, his entry onto the pitch is deemed a Breach of the Peace and he would be charged, fined, and issued with a football banning order - with Celtic also potentially banning him for x number of years. Ps/ Much of this was told to me verbatim and I have put it into my own words as much as I can. I am not an expert in Scots Law, I do not profess to be, the above is as told to me by someone in Criminal Law. #celticfc #spflshow more

Three more replications of diamagnetism in LK-99 A re-cap... of who they are and where to find them: Andrew McCalip working out of the Varda Space Industries laboratories has replicated the apparent diamagnetic properties of LK-99 in the video attached. He did so following the recipe originally published by the Korean team using tools like a blowtorch and oven. Here you can see a fuller clip he has uploaded to youtube and also posted to his twitter / X account: Chrześcijańska Unia Jedności 🇳🇨🇯🇵🇮🇳🇬🇧🇬🇱 in Poland has also claimed replication of diamagnetic properties although a write-up is forthcoming, see photo in the comments. A team of Hao Wu, Li Yang, Bichen Xiao, Haixin Chang at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology have claimed successful replication of diamagnetism in a sample of LK-99 with a more extended write-up which is available on arxiv: with photos attached in comments below. This comes in addition to the first reported replication of diamagnetism which to the best of my knowledge belongs to Iris COMMS OPEN (2/3) Вы/ж. р. , in addition to now several others at Chinese research universities. ~~~~~~~~ An emerging interpretation of this physical phenomenon of partial levitation is that the superconducting pathways inside the material are one-dimensional, and so do not fully support levitation in all three dimensions. Normally in a Type-II superconductor current can flow and be conducted internally in different directions however the magnetic field might induce it, as well as trap or pin magnetic flux lines internally, thus the Meissner effect might be considered the combination of several phenomenon and properties at once. Notably, replications of this partial levitation / diamagnetism have been accompanied with photos of it NOT being attracted to a magnet, showing that this is not simply a magnetized flake of material. The speed and ease of replicating the diamagnetism of LK-99 is profound - normally in preparing these materials there is an extensive amount of artisinal expertise and practical know-how required to get the recipe just right. Things are definitely getting interesting here folksshow more
