Senior Hoyt Hoffine of Paola (4A) with the coast... to coast poster in a 61-55 win over Fort Scott 🤯 Hoyt finished with 24 points in the win.

🚨 Rant alert 🚨 Man… some of us are... soft. Like Charmin Soft. Some of us are bitching like little kids…. Since when was anything easy at ECU? “The Chip” has always been a thing….

HE FOUGHT HARDER He didn’t bitch about it…. He did everything in his power to overcome the adversity. And did. It’s time for us to stop bitching. __________________ Because when you’re at East Carolina… You go for it…. EVERY TIME!!!

Every word still rings true 15+ years on. Mark... McVeigh personifies the greatness Essendon has within & he saw firsthand what it takes to get to the pinnacle. “Remember how bad this feels & go do something about it!” Do any of the players take enough pride & responsibility in their own performance to go that extra mile? Do they have the capability/willingness to sacrifice, nail their nutrition & leaving no stone unturned? Lastly, are they prepared to train well beyond what’s expected at an elite level, not just the bare minimum? Will they battle harder than ever before to become better players? That’s routinely catching up with coaches (beyond the mandatory) watching endless film & create a killer’s mentality that’s willing fight even harder when the deck is stacked against us? There’s so much passion Mark McVeigh can bring to the table, & given he was GWS’ caretaker role when Leon Cameron left, he’s developed a strong set of skills outside the Essendon four walls. He’s not some kind of blindly naive first-time head coach who’ll be out of his depth. He’ll add so much to our coaching panel: whether it’s as the head coach or as a key assistant. Bring Spike back, because he is ESSENDON ❤️🖤show more

Voiceover is me. Alexander Zverev didn’t sneak into the... U.S. Open final. He took it the way a top seed is supposed to. It was a dominating performance. I wanted Ben Shelton to win and rooted for him until the final point. But Zverev was mechanical and poised against the fan-favorite Shelton. Zverev won 6-3, 7-6, 5-7, 6-2. This New York title is his second Grand Slam this year after the French Open. The wait in Flushing is over. A home crowd doesn’t hand you the trophy and Shelton learned that today. Zverev made the American wait another year. That’s what the better player does when the match actually starts. Shelton took a set. Zverev still closed it. Just outstanding tennis. Zverev was 5-0 against Ben Shelton coming in. This is the German’s sixth Grand Slam final. He already had the clay. Today he took the hard court that used to spit him out. Shelton beat Carlos Alcaraz to get here and made America proud with his excellent effort. That just wasn’t enough this year.show more

The LIV Golf League has made major changes to... the format of the Team Championship, including a preliminary round to be played on Wednesday between teams ranked 12 and 13 in the season long standings. There will also be no byes for top seeded teams. The losing team from the preliminary round will be fully eliminated and will take no further part in the competition. On Friday, there will be 6 quarter finals matches, where all 12 remaining teams will face off in head to head match play. The captains of the top seeded teams have the opportunity to choose their opponents as in previous years.

Luxury perfume commercials do not need a full production... crew anymore. I created this premium fragrance ad using Nano Banana 2 and Seedance on Creatify AI , combining cinematic product shots, realistic motion, and commercial-quality visuals in minutes. Prompt: Shot 1 (0:00–0:01.5) — Quick Establishing Bright, sunlit vanity scene, bottle standing on a blush-gold pedestal surrounded by lavender sprigs, a white orchid, and honeycomb. Quick push-in — energetic, not lingering. BGM: Upbeat, light acoustic-pop instrumental kicks in immediately, bright and warm, mid-tempo with a confident rhythm — loud enough to carry the whole spot. Shot 2 (0:01.5–0:03) — Jessica Arrival Jessica walks into frame toward the vanity with natural, real-time movement — no slow-mo — reaching for the bottle with a light smile. Camera tracks briskly alongside her. Shot 3 (0:03–0:04.5) — Macro Bottle Turn Quick macro shot: bottle rotates in Jessica's hand at natural speed, gold cap and floral artwork catching light, honeycomb and lavender blurred in the foreground. Shot 4 (0:04.5–0:06) — Lifting to Apply Jessica lifts the bottle toward her neck/collarbone at natural speed, wrist turning, confident everyday gesture — not slow, not hesitant. Shot 5 (0:06–0:08) — The Spray (brief slow-mo accent only) Jessica presses the gold pump at her neck — a fine, visible mist releases and lands on her collarbone/upper chest area. Only this exact release moment gets a brief 0.3–0.5 sec slow-mo accent for visual impact, then instantly resumes normal speed as she lowers the bottle with a satisfied, natural exhale and slight smile — no eyes-closed lingering pause. BGM: Beat swells slightly on the spray release for emphasis, then continues driving forward. Shot 6 (0:08–0:09.5) — Wrist Application Quick cut: Jessica dabs/sprays lightly at her inner wrist, natural real-time motion, then rubs wrists together briefly — fast, confident, commercial-standard gesture. Shot 7 (0:09.5–0:11) — Notes Visualized Fast macro cutaway: lavender petals and a drop of golden honey caught mid-air in crisp, quick motion (not slow-mo) — visualizing lavender, honey, and orchid notes in under 1.5 seconds. Shot 8 (0:11–0:12.5) — Product Detail Quick tilt down the bottle from cap to base, floral artwork sharp and legible, brisk camera movement matching commercial pace. Shot 9 (0:12.5–0:15) — Final Hero Reveal Jessica turns toward camera with the bottle in hand, natural confident stance, quick dolly-out revealing the full vanity scene. Clean, crisp final frame — no slow lingering fade. BGM: Track builds to its peak in the final second, ending on a bright, resolved note — loud and full, not trailing off quietly. Voiceover (minimal, energetic, matched to BGM — not whispered ASMR): (0–1.5 sec) "Meet Lollia Relax." (6–7 sec, on the spray) "Lavender. Honey. Pure calm." (13–15 sec) "Relax into it." Delivered in a warm, clear, confident Western English accent — natural speaking volume and pace, energetic and inviting, not breathy or drawn out. #Creatify #aimediabuyer #aitools #MarketingTips #D2CMarketingshow more

Conceptually Thinking Basketball Elite 10 (Iowa 2025) Journey Houston... (Journey Houston ) | 5’11” Combo Guard | Davenport North/ All Iowa Attack Girls Quick Stats •National Rank: #85 (ESPN), Potential Top 50 talent •Iowa Rank: #5 •Class: 2025 •Commitment: Iowa (Iowa Women's Basketball) •Team Record (Last 2 Years): 43-5 in 5A basketball •Accolades: One of the most productive careers in Iowa Performance Metrics Houston’s all-around game shines through in her stat line: she averages 19 points, 9 rebounds (4 offensive), 5 assists, and 5 steals per game. This versatile and high-level production highlights her ability to impact every facet of the game, from scoring and rebounding to playmaking and defensive disruption. Skill Breakdown •Scoring: Elite downhill threat with excellent finishing ability. •Rebounding: Outstanding positional rebounder, especially on the offensive glass. •Defense: Versatile defender capable of guarding positions 1-4, with elite defensive instincts. •Playmaking: Exceptional vision and passing ability, elevating team offense. •Athleticism: Physical, athletic player with the size and strength to impose her will on the game. •Competitiveness: High motor and relentless drive to compete at the highest level. Conceptual Analysis Positional Versatility Journey Houston epitomizes the modern combo guard. She blends scoring ability, playmaking, and defensive versatility, allowing her to excel in multiple roles. At 5’11”, her size and athleticism enable her to defend multiple positions while maintaining the skills to lead an offense. This versatility aligns with the trend toward positionless basketball, where players are valued for their ability to contribute in various facets of the game. Offensive Impact 1.Scoring Threat: Houston’s 19 points per game underscore her ability to create offense, particularly through attacking the rim. Her strength and finishing ability make her a constant threat in transition and half-court sets. 2.Playmaking: Averaging 5 assists per game, Houston’s ability to create for her teammates is a testament to her court vision and high basketball IQ. Her ability to score and facilitate makes her a dual offensive threat. Defensive Excellence Houston’s ability to guard positions 1 through 4 makes her a highly valuable defensive asset. Her 5 steals per game highlight her disruptiveness, turning defense into offense and generating transition opportunities. Her physicality and basketball IQ allow her to stifle opposing offenses, making her a game-changer on the defensive end. Physicality and Competitiveness Houston’s physicality and relentless competitiveness set her apart. Her aggressive play style allows her to dominate in rebounding, defend multiple positions, and attack the basket with force. These traits are often what separate good players from great ones, and Houston’s combination of size, skill, and drive gives her a competitive edge in every matchup. Potential and Projection Despite her #85 ranking, Houston is considered a top 50 talent nationally. Her ranking is likely impacted by missing the AAU season due to off-season surgery, suggesting that her true potential is undervalued. As she returns to full health, Houston is expected to rise in national rankings and showcase her top-tier talent. Team Success Houston’s influence on her team is undeniable, with a 43-5 record in 5A basketball over the last two seasons. Her ability to lead and impact games in a variety of ways has directly contributed to her team’s success, reinforcing her status as a winner and a high-level performer. Future Projection •College Impact: Houston projects as an immediate impact player at Iowa, offering versatility that allows her to contribute in numerous ways. Her ability to score, rebound, assist, and defend makes her a perfect fit for the Hawkeyes, and her defensive prowess will be particularly valuable in Big Ten play.show more

☀️12th April 2026: India Under the Dome: 6-Day Intense... Dry Spell to Grip Subcontinent. The loan oasis, Northeast India Defies National Trend with Rain and Thunderstorms until 15th April. ​Mercury Surge: Central and South India Brace for 40°C+ as High Pressure Caps the Skies ​ Detailed Forecast & Analysis ​1. The Dominant "Heat Dome" Effect ​The orange and red anomalies in the loop represent positive geopotential height anomalies. This indicates a high-pressure system (anticyclone) at the 500mb level (approx. 5.5 km altitude). ​The Cause: This system acts like a "lid" or dome, trapping sinking air which warms up as it is compressed. This suppresses cloud formation and prevents moisture from the oceans from penetrating inland. ​Impact: Expect a rapid rise in maximum temperatures by 3–6°C across Northwest, Central, and East India. Example, cities like Delhi, Nagpur, and Ahmedabad are likely to approach or exceed the 40°C mark by April 15. ​2. Regional Breakdown Region Weather Outlook (Next 6 Days): Primary Driver Northwest & Central Severe dry heat; clear skies; rising heatwave risks. Strong anticyclonic subsidence. South Peninsular Hot and humid; minimal rainfall. High-pressure stability. East India Significant temperature spike (3–5°C rise). Expansion of the heat ridge eastward. Northeast India Scattered thunderstorms & light-to-moderate rain. Persistent 3. The Northeast Exception until 15th April. ​The red arrow in the loop image points to a specific area (Northeast India/Bangladesh border) where the high-pressure dome is weaker or interrupted. ​The Cause: A "trough" (an elongated area of low pressure) is expected to persist over this region. This allows moisture from the Bay of Bengal to interact with the hilly terrain, triggering Orographically induced thunderstorms. ​Expected Conditions: While the rest of India stays dry, states like Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh will likely see fairly widespread rainfall and gusty winds 30–40 kmph through April 16. ​Preparation Advice ​Agriculture: Farmers in Central and West India should ensure adequate irrigation for summer crops as soil moisture will deplete rapidly. ​Health: High UV indices 9–10 are expected; avoid outdoor activity between 11 AM and 4 PM in heat-affected zones. ​Northeast Residents: Prepare for sudden squalls and lightning; ensure drainage systems are clear for localized heavy spells.show more

I’ve never shared the full inside baseball on the... inside fastball that broke my jaw April 5, 2008 at Ole Miss, we were facing projected 1st rounder and future Big Leaguer, Lance Lynn Before it became widespread, Lance had success pitching towards the top of the zone with a fastball that appeared to rise He got me out my first at bat on a high fastball that I should have laid off So my 2nd at bat I told myself to see the ball down in the zone My eyes jumped from his release point to the area I was trying to see the ball down to. I never ended up seeing the pitch until .01 before it hit me If you’ve ever gotten hit in the face, you don’t know what happened at first. So it took me about half a second to realize what happened When I did, I fully expected to spit teeth out and when I leaned over to spit and saw that only blood came out, I assumed I was fine Then I heard the Ole Miss head coach yell “it hit his bat,” because the cracking of my jaw sounded like a foul ball off a mental bat I turned around and yelled “shut the fuck up” at their dugout and proceeded on to first base My trainer came up to me and his first words were “oh fuck,” Knowing that was poor bedside manner, and that I was probably very fucked up, I joked “you’re not supposed to say that,” At that point I knew I was coming out of the game but I was so full of adrenaline that it didn’t hurt and wouldn’t begin to hurt for a couple hours Both the pitcher and coach felt so bad after it happened that both came to apologize to me at the end of the inning while I was beside their dugout being tended to by my trainer and their doctor I actually had to walk to the parking lot through the stadium seats and all the fans looked at me in horror as I had a white bloody rag hanging off my face. It was surreal watching their reactions to my blood We drove over to an Oxford medical center that was clearly not the best location for me to be in, so my coach’s wife drive me up to Nashville to get surgery that night We got swept that weekend and I got my jaw wired shut for the first of 6 weeks I stupidly tried to come back and play the following week. My coaches let me as I was medically cleared to hit with a face mask, but the rest of my season I was a different hitter I was hitting .400 at the time of the fracture, 2nd in the SEC, with 2 months left in the season I finished the year hitting .312. Meaning I flipped from one of the best hitters in the conference to one of the worst before and after the incident Despite finishing my Vandy career 7th on their all time hit list, this play is what I hear about the most when I return I’ve been lucky that I haven’t had much issues with my jaw thus far post incident, although I did find out that 2 of the nerves of the impacted teeth are dead, and I will likely need to get one of those teeth extracted at some point When they showed me the X Ray it was a clear break. A scary image that could have been WAY worse if it were 3 inches higher, as I likely would not be able to see out of my left eye (and wouldn’t be as handsome as I am) Anyway, to have interesting ideas you must have interesting experiences and this was certainly oneshow more

A somatic therapist who worked with elite performers for... 20 years said frequency isn't raised by thinking. It's raised by giving the nervous system a signal it can't ignore. Here are 8 bizarre rituals that do it. 1. THE DOORWAY HANG Hang from a doorframe for 30 seconds. Decompression and grip load flood the system with physical feedback — the fastest route out of your head. 2. THE COLD SPOON Hold something cold against the back of your neck. Cold at the neck reaches the vagus nerve faster than anywhere else on the body. 3. THE WALL PRESS Press both palms flat to a wall and push hard for 20 seconds. Isometric effort with nowhere to go discharges tension the body has been storing. 4. THE VOICE DROP Say one full sentence a whole octave lower than usual. Your pitch feeds back into your nervous system. Lower reads as calmer — and the body believes it. 5. THE SOUND CUP Hum into a cupped glass and feel it vibrate against your hand. Feeling your voice as a physical object turns an abstract practice into something real. 6. THE BACKWARDS NAME Say your name backwards, out loud, once. Absurd effort interrupts a mental loop far faster than trying to stop it. 7. THE CEILING MINUTE Lie flat on a hard floor and look at the ceiling for 60 seconds. A hard surface is the one position the body cannot brace against so it stops trying. 8. THE SET DOWN Carry something heavy across the room, then put it down on purpose. The body learns release by doing it never by deciding to. THE PATTERN NO ONE TALKS ABOUT All 8 rituals share one thing: they give the nervous system a signal it cannot argue with. Not a thought. A physical fact. Frequency doesn't rise from affirmations. It rises when the body exits survival mode and the vagus nerve tells every cell: it is safe now. That's when manifestation actually starts working not because the universe changed, but because your signal did.show more

NFF COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT 20 Points of a 20-hour ordeal... on Libyan soil . NFF’s Director of Communications, Dr Ademola Olajire, provides a point-by-point account of how a keenly-anticipated Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match was relegated to a fiasco by Libyan federal authorities and Football Federation 1) The chartered ValueJet aircraft departed from the Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo at 11.55hours on Sunday, 13th October 2024, and landed at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano at 13.10hours, for the completion of immigration formalities and for the aircraft to refuel. 2) The aircraft took off from Kano at 15.18hours, for the 3 hours and 35 minutes flight to Benghazi, Libya, expecting to arrive a few minutes before 8pm Libya time. 3) Just as he was about to commence his initial approach into Benghazi, the captain (pilot) was instructed by the control tower that he could not land in Benghazi (despite having all the required landing papers and having completed all formalities before leaving Uyo and later, Kano, but should proceed to the Al-Abraq International Airport, even though the airport lacked the control navigators for landing at such hours. He complained that he was short on fuel but his words fell on deaf ears as he was told in stern manner that the directive was from ‘higher authorities.’ 4) On landing at the Al-Abraq International Airport, in the small town of Labraq, at 19.50hours, it was clear that the airport was not a well-utilized facility. There were no scanning machines or the usual equipment for this service, and officials had to make do with mobile phones to scan passport data pages. 5) The delegation, which included 22 players and team officials; NFF President Alh. Ibrahim Musa Gusau; Deputy Governor of Edo State, Comrade Philip Shaibu; a couple of NFF Board members; NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi; a couple of parliamentarians; a couple of NFF Management; a couple of media representatives and; a couple of stakeholders, was shown scant respect by the airport authorities who applied curt manners and stern tones. 6) It took over one hour for the team’s luggage to roll through the carousel, despite the fact that the bags and other items had already been hauled from the aircraft immediately on arrival. 7) No official of the Libyan Football Federation was at the airport to receive the delegation, as is the best practice globally. Airport officials could not answer the simple question on where the buses that would take the delegation members back to Benghazi (where the NFF had booked hotel rooms) were. 8) When delegation members including the NFF President, Comrade Shaibu and Dr Sanusi attempted to venture outside the airport to ascertain if there were vehicles waiting for the team, they were stopped in the most uncouth of manners by airport security personnel. 9) Calls to the General Secretary of LFF, Mr. Abdul-Nasser by Dr Sanusi yielded no fruits as the former kept promising that the buses would arrive in ‘10 minutes’, which later became ‘two hours’, and afterwards, ‘three hours.’ Later in the evening, it was no longer possible to reach him on phone. Frustrated by this attitude, Dr Sanusi approached the security operatives to request that the team be allowed to go out and board the buses the NFF eventually hired. This request was rejected with insults. It took the intervention of the NFF dignitaries to prevent what would have escalated into a row as the NFF President himself was not spared when he heard exchange of voices between the security personnel and his General Secretary. This aggravated the tension and further frustrated the team. 10) Hour after hour, and with mounting frustration, delegation members, particularly the players, grew restless. There was no food or water provided by the LFF, or where to even procure these items, and there was no network or internet connection at the airport. These swiftly increased the level of frustration and angershow more

#TABCShowcase 🏀 The Top 10 🎙️ A lot to... breakdown from Saturday at TABC where all 522 teams played at least once, but these are the 10 talking points I’m focusing on. 1️⃣ 🎥 Reese (lilskip) Alston’s ascension is fully underway. Elite shotmaker who creates real separation getting to his spots. On a court with both baselines packed with college coaches, he was the SHOW. 2️⃣ Been saying it for a long time but Amare Guerra is a dude who simply gets the job done as a PG. Tough finishes, deep range and excellent passing vision. 🎥 3️⃣ Carter Cowboy Basketball is FULLY LOADED. Amarion Hunter “whiteboii” as a tough lead scoring guard, tons of defensive length in their frontcourt, and got a big boost from Landen "Fats" Higgs in my first time seeing him back from injury. 4️⃣ It looks like there’s another top level team in the works in Beaumont 👀 Payton Jones & Ephriam moore Jr. make a terrifying duo to try to defend and there’s a lot of good pieces on this BU Timberwolves roster. 5️⃣ Love the infectious energy that @7LSpartanHoops plays with. Starts with 2027 Isaiah Santos refusing to be outworked & filters down to the scoring of Sean .J. Mwesigwa and Jose Martins. Will be a legitimate contender in 6A again! 6️⃣ 🎥 Elijahgibson08 stock has EXPLODED over the last two weekends. Playing himself into a very good situation with Harker Heights Knights Basketball. Coaches need to check him and David blount out if they haven’t already - very recruitable prospects! 7️⃣ Seems like there’s always a big performance from an AtascocitaBasketball prospect at TABC, this year’s (so far) belongs to Jachai Cantave. Natural bucket getter with great footwork and feel! 8️⃣ Steele Basketball backcourt is FORREAL. Jamail garland, Maurice Eddie and Logan Gonzalez can give you buckets in a hurry! 9️⃣ There’s a real squad out west Permian Basketball as ‘28 KJ Miller and ‘26 Vari Beck have been dropping huge numbers all weekend! 🔟 Waxahachie Boys Basketball ‘26 duo of Trae Nunn & Michael Gatewood AKA MG3 looked hungry today and both took advantage of the platform. Combined for 46 in a win I was courtside for. Back tomorrow for the final day of the nation’s best Live Period event! #GASOshow more
