The #Bengals didn’t practice today, but I know #WhoDey fans are craving content. Here are five extra observations from the first two weeks of camp: 1. Imagine being a QB when Dexter Lawrence comes charging at you for a strip sack. “I remember watching him walk by my locker in his towel and he was doing hand combat on his way to the shower,” said Andrei Iosivas. “That’s a guy that I want on my team.”

Russia is trying to make Kherson uninhabitable and wages a brutal campaign against civilians— striking vehicles, buses, and even pedestrians with indiscriminate attacks. The occupiers unashamedly say that "this is good practice for young drone operators to upgrade their skills and prepare for real combat operations." This cruel "human safari" has led to many Kherson residents being too afraid to leave their homes, even for basic necessities, fearing they could become the next target. Many have fled the city. Russia considers Kherson a "Russian" city. And yet, it is under Russian attacks every single day.

Seedance 2.0 Sensitive Content Guide – Part 2 🔥 This morning we covered the fundamentals. Tonight we put them into practice and successfully generated Giant Ant-Man vs Spider-Man. Here’s exactly how we did it: • Used extremely detailed physical descriptions only (no character names) • Ant-Man described as “a giant hero in advanced red & black high-tech combat suit with insect-shaped helmet” • Spider-Man described as “an agile hero in red & blue suit with complex black web patterns” • Action described cinematically (“power and speed collision”, “intense energy impact”) • Clean 3-shot JSON structure with controlled pacing This method is currently one of our most reliable ways to combine multiple major characters in one scene. Full working prompt is attached below. Want more advanced examples and stable prompts? Comment “PART 3” and we’ll drop the next level. We’re building this system together.

🔥5 drills to destroy doubles #1 Pad Punch When you feel pressure from the adjacent blocker, combat his force with your hips. #2 Sled Punch The key to defeating a double team is to split it. Here’s a great drill to help you attack 1 man, get skinny and throw off. #3 Double splits Splitting doubles can be super difficult. The double splits drill helps simulate the force you’ll need to apply into your primary blocker to ultimately split the double team. #4 Punch recover When aligned in an even technique (0, 2, 4) the key is to survive the collision by staying square, absorbing force and transitioning to the crease. The punch recover drill does a great job of simulating this. #5 Hip Swivels Use hip swivels to practice wedging your hips between the primary and adjacent blocker.

❗️🇺🇦🇷🇺Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov warned that the situation could become more critical, with potential combat activity also emerging from the Transnistria direction. 📍 “We have intelligence indicating that the Russian command is planning to intensify activity in Transnistria,” Budanov said. 📍 “The Russians are concerned about their contingent and want to take at least some measures to reinforce it, ensuring readiness in case something happens.” 📍 “We see and understand their plans, and we are obliged to respond. This is standard military practice.” 📍 The number of Russian troops in the region is estimated at between 1,500 and 3,000 personnel. 📍 Russian forces continue to guard a large ammunition depot in the village of Cobasna, while the Kremlin is reportedly trying to increase mobilization efforts in the region and launch UAV production.

After the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64, Emperor Nero built the enormous Golden House, complete with banquet halls, gardens, lakes, and pavilions. While formal gladiatorial combats were usually held in amphitheaters, Nero blurred the line between palace and arena by staging public entertainments and gladiatorial contests at his imperial residence. The palace itself became a theater of imperial spectacle. When "Nero Caesar" is written in Hebrew letters and those letters are assigned numerical values (gematria), the total equals 666. Trump became the first U.S. president to host a professional combat sports event at the White House, echoing, in some respects, the ancient practice of staging spectacles at a ruler's residence. Trump also wants to build a grand White House ballroom. Had it already existed, he might even have hosted the UFC event there during what he calls America's "Golden Age." "Bread and circuses" for the masses, keeping them occupied and satisfied, especially when something controversial is happening or something big is coming.

What Actually Happened (Verified Facts) • Date and location: May 25, 2018 (nearly 8 years ago), at the Al-Zaim (A’Zaim) checkpoint near Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank. • Victim: Karam Qawasmi, a 22-year-old Palestinian man (not a child/“youth”). He survived the incident, was hospitalized, and later spoke publicly about it. • What occurred: After a security check (during which he alleged he was run over by a jeep and beaten for hours), officers told him to “get out” / “go.” As he walked away (hands raised, ~20 seconds later), a Border Police officer fired a sponge-tipped bullet (a non-lethal crowd-control round, not live sniper ammunition) into his back at relatively close range. He screamed in pain and fell. Off-camera laughter from officers is audible in the full footage. • Not IDF “long-range shooting practice”: This was Israeli Border Police (paramilitary unit handling checkpoints), not regular army soldiers in a combat operation. No long-range rifle or “target practice” — it was a single unnecessary shot during a checkpoint interaction. Legal Outcome The female Border Police officer who fired was charged with assault and reckless use of a weapon. In June 2020, she pleaded guilty in Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court and was convicted (physical assault, reckless use of weapon, obstruction of justice). The judge described the act as done “as a form of dubious entertainment.” She faced up to 3 years but the exact sentence isn’t detailed in public reports. This was not ignored — Israeli authorities investigated after the video leaked in 2019, prosecuted, and convicted the officer.

Retractable 20mm cannon turrets on the Convair B-36 Peacemaker strategic bomber The aircraft was built by Convair and operated by the United States Air Force from 1949 to 1959. The B-36 is the largest mass-produced piston-engined aircraft ever built. It had the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built, at 70 meters. The B-36 was the first bomber capable of delivering any of the nuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal from an internal bomb bay without aircraft modifications. With a range of 16,000 km and a maximum payload of almost 40 tons, the B-36 was capable of intercontinental flight without refueling. The defensive armament consisted of six remote-controlled retractable gun turrets, and fixed tail and nose turrets. Each turret was fitted with two 20 mm cannon, for a total of 16. Recoil vibration from gunnery practice often caused the aircraft's electrical wiring to jar loose or the vacuum tube electronics to malfunction, leading to failure of the aircraft controls and navigation equipment; this was a factor in the crash of B-36B 44-92035 on November 22nd 1950.

🚨🇷🇺 RUSSIA TAUGHT ITS ISKANDER-M BALLISTIC MISSILE TO DODGE U.S. PATRIOT DEFENSES IN THE FINAL SECONDS Russia’s Iskander-M has learned to change the way it flies when air defenses have only seconds left to react. Modified Russian missiles now dive at steeper angles and maneuver during the terminal phase, breaking the predictable flight paths that U.S.-made Patriot systems use to calculate an interception. One Ukrainian official described the upgrade as a “game-changer.” 🔸 SOFTWARE CHANGED THE THREAT: Updated control and guidance systems allow the Iskander-M to depart from its expected descent path and make abrupt maneuvers as it closes on the target. 🔸 PATRIOT GETS LESS TIME TO REACT: The steep final dive compresses the engagement window and forces interceptors to adjust against a missile no longer following the trajectory calculated seconds earlier. 🔸 THE MISSILE WAS ALREADY BUILT TO SURVIVE: Iskander-M combines a depressed flight profile with decoys, electronic countermeasures, a small radar signature and mobile launchers carrying two ready missiles. 🔸 EVERY INTERCEPTION CREATES NEW DATA: Years of combat have shown Russian designers how Patriot and other Western systems detect, track and engage ballistic targets. That information can be converted into repeated software and guidance updates. 🔸 MASS ATTACKS MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE: Geran drones and cruise missiles can saturate sensors, consume interceptors and overload command networks before ballistic missiles enter the most demanding phase of the attack. 🔸 RECENT STRIKES SHOW WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE: Russia used Iskander-M ballistic missiles as part of its July 19 massed strike, breaking through around Kiev and hitting a network of missile, drone and military-logistics facilities. The targets included military plants and major storage and assembly hubs supporting Ukraine’s long-range weapons programmes. Missile defense has become a continuous adaptation race — and Russia can repeatedly change trajectories, software and strike combinations while the defender must update tactics and preserve scarce interceptors. Is Russia winning the missile-versus-interceptor technology race?

Fact check: viral video claiming bandit attack in makarfi, Kaduna is misleading Abuja, March 9 A viral video circulating on social media claiming that bandits are currently attacking Makarfi Local Government Area of Kaduna State has been found to be misleading and falsely represented, security checks have revealed. The video, which is being widely shared with captions suggesting an ongoing attack in Makarfi near Zaria, shows scenes of heavy gunfire accompanied by a voice-over describing troops repelling armed attackers. However, a careful review of the footage and audio has confirmed that the voice narration in the video was lifted from a previous military engagement involving troops of Operation Hadin Kai in the Timbuktu Triangle in Borno State, where soldiers were repelling an attack by fighters of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) in January 2026. Recently, there has been concern over a growing trend in which individuals deliberately recycle old combat footage or unrelated security incidents to fabricate fresh attacks, particularly on social media platforms where such content spreads rapidly. Zagazola noted that the audio commentary does not correspond with any current security situation in Makarfi, and the material has been deliberately recycled and repackaged to create panic among residents. This is a classic case of disinformation where old operational clips are taken out of context and falsely presented as a fresh attack. Such deliberate manipulation of security-related content is dangerous, as it spreads fear, misleads the public, and can undermine ongoing security operations. The practice is reckless and irresponsible. Those who knowingly circulate such false claims are contributing to psychological warfare of the terrorists aimed at creating panic among civilians. The general public have therefore been advised to verify security-related information through credible sources before sharing, and to avoid amplifying unverified videos or claims that could fuel unnecessary tension.

🚨NO,THE GAME OF POLO WAS NOT INVENTED IN MANIPUR! 📌 The claim by Meiteis that an obscure figure named King Kangba of Kangleipak (Manipur) invented Polo (sagol kangjei) around 5140 BC or 7200 years ago is bereft of any logical foundation, historical truth or archaeological evidence. In fact, There is not a single trace of such a king in any CREDIBLE historical record, inscription or archaeological source. 🐎Even more absurdly, DNA analysis by Archeologist indicates that horse domestication began only around 2200 BC or 4200 years ago. (a full 3000 years after the fanciful legend that an obscure king of a non existing kingdom conceived a sport dependent on an animal not yet domesticated). 📍The true roots of Polo can be traced to the mounted nomads of Central Asia, who played an early form of the game which was as much a test of horsemanship & combat readiness as it was a sport. These early matches, sometimes involving up to a hundred riders per side, tested not only horsemanship but also coordination & combat readiness. 🚨By the 6th century BCE, these nomadic horsemen, ancestors of the modern Mongols & Persians had developed rudimentary forms of polo or Chovgan (čowgân), which soon spread across the vast steppes of Asia. As these tribes migrated & founded empires, they carried the sport with them into Persia, present-day Iran. There, around the 5th century BCE, polo evolved from a rugged tribal contest into a refined into a regal persuit. The Persians are rightly credited with transforming polo from a war exercise into a game of into an aristocratic team sport, eventually adopting it as their national sport. 📌 In fact, the first recorded polo tournament between the Turkomans & Persians dates back to around 600 BCE, 2600 years ago with the Turkomans emerging victorious. The term "Polo" is believed to derive from the Balti word "Pholo" or "Pulu" (Tibetan for "Willow branch"), which corrupted to "Polo" hinting at its deep cultural connections along the Silk Road. From Persia, polo's influence spread far & wide, westward to Byzantium, eastward to Tibet, China & Japan & southward into the Indian subcontinent. Each civilization not only adopted the sport but also infused it with its own traditions & values. By the 7th century CE, polo had reached as far as Japan from China. 📌 The Mughals were chiefly responsible for taking the game from Persia & reintroducing or popularizing Polo in the Indian subcontinent. It was Emperor Babur, in the 16th century who established & formalize the sport in India, where it flourished as a royal pastime. (It had already long been played in China and Japan, but had died out by the time the West came in contact with those countries). Earlier, the game's harshest incarnations even saw the use of human or animal heads in place of balls, a practice that eventually gave way to the pulu, a ball made from willow root. 📌 The British Colonial officers stumbled upon the game of Polo only in the mid 19th Century AD, when the Manipuri king, seeking British protection from Burma, threw himself upon British protection, turning his kingdom into a protectorate state under their suzerainty. Enthralled by the sport, the British carried it back to England & across Europe, dressed it in Victorian polish & gloablised it under imperial Patronage while packaging it as their latest civilised pastime. 📌 But make no mistake, The game of Polo's cradle was never Manipur's Valley & to suggest that Polo originated in Manipur is not only a distortion of history but an illusion of history. Long before Manipur's chronicles even began & thousands of years before Manipur (Kangleipak) even entered recorded time, the game of Polo had already flourished across the steppes of Central Asia for centuries, sustained by the skills of Mongolian horsemen, Persians Nobles & warriors whose bloodline predated both the British & the Meiteis by Millenia & whose ancestors knew no such name as Britain, let alone Manipur or Kangleipak.

🙏 The morning of September 11th, 2001, started like any other Tuesday at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Lt. Heather Penney was running training drills in her F-16, perfecting maneuvers she'd practiced a thousand times before. Then everything changed. The radio crackled: all aircraft, return immediately. America was under attack. By the time she touched down, the Twin Towers had been struck. The Pentagon, just fifteen miles away, was burning. And intelligence reported another hijacked plane heading straight for Washington. Heather and her commanding officer got the order: suit up, get airborne, intercept that plane. But there was a problem. Their F-16s were loaded for training exercises, not combat. No live missiles. No ammunition capable of taking down a commercial airliner. Just practice rounds and fuel tanks. That's when the impossible order came through her headset: stop that aircraft by any means necessary. Heather understood immediately what those words meant. If she couldn't shoot down the hijacked Boeing 757, she would have to physically ram it with her fighter jet. A deliberate midair collision at hundreds of miles per hour. No ejection possible. No parachute. No survival. She was twenty-six years old. A fighter pilot for less than two years. The daughter of a United Airlines pilot who flew the same type of aircraft now being used as weapons. Her commanding officer's voice came through: I'll take the cockpit, you take the tail. They were dividing the target between them, ensuring the plane would go down even if one of them missed. Heather's response was two words: Roger that. She strapped in, fired up the engine, and rocketed into the sky over Washington, breaking the sound barrier above the capital, something normally forbidden. The sonic booms rattled windows across the city, a thunderous announcement that American fighters were responding. As she climbed toward intercept altitude, her mind raced through questions no training had prepared her for. What part of the fuselage should she aim for? What speed? What angle would guarantee the plane went down immediately? She scanned the skies, searching for United Flight 93. Searching for the target she would destroy with her own body. Accepting, with each passing second, that she was flying toward certain death. But she never found the plane. Because two hundred miles away, the passengers had already made their choice. They'd stormed the cockpit. Flight 93 crashed into a Pennsylvania field at 10:03 AM. Heather flew patrol over Washington for hours afterward, protecting skies that had already been saved by ordinary Americans who refused to be weapons. When she finally landed, her crew chief had tears in his eyes. He hadn't expected to see her again. 🙏

🙏 The morning of September 11th, 2001, started like any other Tuesday at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. Lt. Heather Penney was running training drills in her F-16, perfecting maneuvers she'd practiced a thousand times before. Then everything changed. The radio crackled: all aircraft, return immediately. America was under attack. By the time she touched down, the Twin Towers had been struck. The Pentagon, just fifteen miles away, was burning. And intelligence reported another hijacked plane heading straight for Washington. Heather and her commanding officer got the order: suit up, get airborne, intercept that plane. But there was a problem. Their F-16s were loaded for training exercises, not combat. No live missiles. No ammunition capable of taking down a commercial airliner. Just practice rounds and fuel tanks. That's when the impossible order came through her headset: stop that aircraft by any means necessary. Heather understood immediately what those words meant. If she couldn't shoot down the hijacked Boeing 757, she would have to physically ram it with her fighter jet. A deliberate midair collision at hundreds of miles per hour. No ejection possible. No parachute. No survival. She was twenty-six years old. A fighter pilot for less than two years. The daughter of a United Airlines pilot who flew the same type of aircraft now being used as weapons. Her commanding officer's voice came through: I'll take the cockpit, you take the tail. They were dividing the target between them, ensuring the plane would go down even if one of them missed. Heather's response was two words: Roger that. She strapped in, fired up the engine, and rocketed into the sky over Washington, breaking the sound barrier above the capital, something normally forbidden. The sonic booms rattled windows across the city, a thunderous announcement that American fighters were responding.
