I rewatched Volk/Max 3 & it's always a testament to how it's one of the leading candidates for performance of the decade for many reasons, but one of them is how Holloway actually gets many ideas that would have worked or let him build against anyone else. And only some worked:

I have met with a lot of successful Nigerians making the most of their opportunities abroad. Japa has many good stories, do not let any tales of doom abroad fool you. Whilst some hate to hear or read about it, I have also met more than a few Nigerians who found more success because they returned to Nigeria or indeed moved to Nigeria for the first time. Japa stories are a dime and a dozen, the Japada stories deserve to be told too. This is why I am looking forward to Omowunmi Onalaja and her guests, some of whom you may already know, who are doing extraordinary work here in Nigeria. If for nothing, they can inspire those who need that little push to make the move of a return to Nigeria, after finding out Japa may not be for them.

Did FPS games peak in the 90s? I guess the newer ones have better graphics, but do they really "feel" better in terms of gameplay and fun? Unreal Tournament (Epic Games, 1999) was one of the best of its kind. A favorite for our LAN sessions back in the day. Carrying a 21" mintor over to your friend's house felt a little less heavy when you knew you'd be playing Unreal later that day... Exellent and colorful graphics (even on PCs that weren't high end, like those you needed for Quake III Arena for example), great sound, and your typical capture the flag or deathmatches - I mean, what more did you need? Plenty of "Game of the Year" nominations (with some wins), the highest critcal acclaim, and massive sales numbers. I think we can all agree that Unreal Tournament belongs in the Hall of Fame of FPS games. Or maybe I am just getting old and gloryfing things from the past too much.

A truly productive and inspiring day in Houston, Texas! Moving beyond a standard tour, my visit to Space Center Houston—the official visitor center of NASA—was defined by an incredible look at the cutting edge of STEM education and an in-depth, strategic dialogue with senior management and leadership. I was privileged to be warmly welcomed by William T. Harris, President & CEO of Space Center Houston, alongside key NASA leaders and executives from leading U.S. aerospace companies. Science, innovation, and strategic partnership guided every single discussion. During our meetings, I proudly presented Pakistan's vision for a future-ready space ecosystem. I highlighted the immense potential of our brilliant young talent, pushing for advanced training and development opportunities with NASA—and I am delighted that their response was incredibly positive and encouraging. We dived deep into the critical importance of space exploration and cutting-edge innovation in driving national progress. NASA and industry partners expressed immense interest in supporting this initiative, opening exciting new doors for future collaboration. This visit and engagement was a tremendous milestone. Our mission remains clear: to build a prosperous tomorrow, we must inspire Pakistan's next generation to embrace scientific curiosity, look toward the stars, and lead through innovation. #SpaceCenterHouston #NASA #Innovation #STEM #SpaceExploration #PakistanVision2035 #Narowal #FutureGenerations

Good morning everyone. For just about 6 years now I've been working full-time with Thomas Frank for the "Thomas Frank" and "Thomas Frank Explains" channels - and have loved my time. I consider Thomas one of my best friends and am very blessed to have someone like him in my life - but as of now, I am officially looking for my next full-time job. Tom and I will still be working together until the end of August (unless I find my next job sooner) so until then, I will be exploring my options and seeing where my next endeavor can be. I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do next and while I still love Video Editing, I would like to consider bigger roles - such as being a Video Producer since I have an understanding of all aspects of production, or maybe management. Those aren't the only roles I would like to explore - just ones that "feel right". It's also important to me to feel I am "growing" in my field or helping a company grow, rather than just maintain what's there. It's part of why I love working with team Thomas Frank, we always have goals. Whether that's producing better content, better organization in Notion, creating "Thomas Frank Explains" (which I am so proud of given how many people love our Notion videos), creating Flylighter - it's always exciting to see what we can do by taking risks and even if I am no longer helping Tom's growth, I can't wait to see what they cook up moving forward. Attached to this is my updated Reel but feel free to check out my website at for more info about me. Thanks for reading, retweets are appreciated for more reach, and God bless. Here's some people who I've done work with: Thomas Frank, Nebula, Ben Marriott, Hayden Hillier-Smith, TheEditingPodcast, Noah Kagan.

Exploring Opportunities 🎥 With the unknown future of Oxygen Esports I am deciding to look at my options for new Producer positions within Esports. The last 2 1/2 years have been a dream traveling around the world capturing content for some of the biggest titles in esports. Thank you to Oxygen Esports and my co-workers who always believed in my work and encouraged me to always trust my gut and be creative. I have 20+ LAN events under my belt in the last 2 years alone. My strong suits are photography and videography. I have experience with Lightroom, Photoshop, and can edit in Premiere Pro. I can also produce LIVE and edited podcasts for YT or Twitch. I enjoy doing Pre and Post Production for videos. Everything from brainstorming, story boarding, and scouting locations to editing, sound design, and music. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Film Making and Cinematography from the University of North Texas and still live local to DFW. You can contact me via DM or LandoStudios1@gmail . com Thank you again for allowing me to live my dream and I hope it doesn't end here. 💚 - Lando

The beautiful thing about baseball is that every year it reminds us what actually matters. This weekend, a small school like RiderBaseball stood on the same field as some of the biggest programs in the country and proved we belonged. We played Florida. We played Troy. We competed and outplayed them. And while everyone loves to talk about velocity, spin rate, and radar guns, the game told a different story. We hit home runs against 96+ mph fastballs. Because velocity alone doesn’t win baseball games. Command wins. Location wins. Changing speeds wins. Executing fundamentals wins. As a pitching staff, we averaged around 87 mph, one of the lowest velocity staffs in the regional. Yet we weren’t overmatched. We defended. We ran the bases. We executed. In many areas of the game, we outplayed the teams we faced. The difference? Pitch command. Not velocity. Young players and training facilities across the country are chasing radar gun numbers as if that’s the answer to everything. Velocity absolutely matters. It can make a good pitcher better. But velocity without command is just a harder batting practice fastball. The greatest lesson from our regional experience wasn’t how hard Florida threw. It was a reminder that baseball is still baseball. The game still rewards players who can locate.The game still rewards players who can execute.The game still rewards teams that defend, communicate, run the bases, and do the little things right. That’s what makes baseball, the greatest game in the world. A small school with less resources can still stand toe-to-toe with anyone because the game doesn’t care about budgets, facilities, rankings, or social media hype. It cares about execution. Baseball will always humble will always expose your weaknesses.But it will also reward the teams that master the fundamentals. And that’s why a small school from New Jersey can walk into a regional and shock the world. The game is still beautiful that way.

A few years ago, Brad Underwood shared what coaching is really about after a tough loss. Now he's in the Final Four - proof that this mindset works. "When you're invested in it - our whole locker room was that way. You got coaches crying. Something comes to an end." "You realize we spend way more time with them than we do our families. And so you build a bond, you build a connection." That's the cost of caring - it hurts because it matters. "We're a family. Every player that's ever played for me is part of our family." "They've got my number. They can call me now. They can call me 20 years from now." The relationship doesn't end when they leave campus. Great leaders are transformational in life not just transactional. Then he called out what most people miss: "You guys make it about all the wins and losses." "25 years from now, some of those kids - I hope I'm still alive - are gonna pick up the phone and call me and need me. And I am there for them." That's the real scoreboard...The relationships. "That's why it hurts. That means I know I've connected in the right way with a group of guys that I loved coaching." Great coaches don't just develop players. They develop people who become part of their lives forever. "Unfortunately, we came out on the wrong side today. But I'll have nothing but positive things about this season and this group of guys." The wins and losses come and go, but the goal is for the relationships to stay. (🎥Glenn Kinley)

The Chinese president stood on a stage in Shanghai and laid out China's entire AI playbook in one speech. It was his first-ever in-person appearance at the World AI Conference. I went through the whole thing and pulled out everything that matters. - he opened with his signature maxim that great changes unseen in a century are unfolding across the world. - he said AI development should not be a solo performance by a single country but a symphony of international cooperation. - he reaffirmed China's commitment to open source AI in the name of openness and shared benefit. - he warned against overstretching the concept of national security in AI, where one country puts its own security above everyone else's. - he said China opposes the emergence of new historical injustices in AI, one of the strongest-worded lines in the speech. - he pledged 5,000 AI training opportunities for developing countries over the next five years, naming ASEAN, the Arab League, the African Union, CELAC, the SCO, and BRICS. - he committed to giving 30 countries access to a Chinese AI weather system that provides early disaster warnings. - a day before the speech, 29 countries signed the agreement creating a new World AI Cooperation Organization headquartered in Shanghai. strip away the politics and one thing stands out to me. he didn't pitch benchmarks or chatbots. he pitched AI as infrastructure, weather warnings for countries that lose thousands of lives to storms they never saw coming, and training programs for regions the AI boom has skipped. meanwhile most of the Western AI conversation revolves around which lab ships the next frontier model. I don't care who wins the race. I care whether the computing power reaches the people who need it. The full speech is below, and it's worth your time.

A person asks Sadhguru, “How much weight training exercise do you recommend?” And Sadhguru answers, “Weight training is not useful, but do 25-50 Surya-Namaskars, it is complete exercise.” First of all, I am not sure why anyone would ask someone like Sadhguru, who is most of the time, in another dimension, a question on exercise and weight training. And secondly, Sadhguru is just plain wrong. Weight (or strength) training is one of the most important aspects of exercise regimen you can include in your daily or 3-4 times a week physical activity because there is great science behind its benefits. I advise my obese or sarcopenic (very poor muscle mass in advanced liver disease) patients to include weight training to improve clinical outcomes. The highest level of scientific evidence showed that standard muscle-strengthening activities were associated with lower risk of death in patients with non-communicable diseases – including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lung cancer. Another metanalysis showed strong evidence for a considerable risk reduction of strength training for 60 minutes a week, on all-cause death (−15%), cardiovascular disease death (−19%), and cancer death (−14%). See here: here Sadhguru says the older we get, the better we do not weight train. He is again absolutely wrong. The findings of another systematic review/metanalysis support power (strength) training as an effective therapeutic intervention for improving physical function in adults diagnosed with frailty (poor physical function in old age) and patients with chronic medical conditions. See here: In fact, another study on strength training, this one again a metanalysis, concluded that strength training interventions can be used as a non-drug treatment for hypertension (!), as they promote significant decreases in blood pressure. See here: Strength training also reduces significantly, chronic inflammation as shown in another high quality systematic review and meta-analysis. See here: Resistance/Strength training improved muscle mass and muscle strength, thereby improving performance status. Improved performance status is a wonderful benchmark for an active and healthy life. See here: Even in fatty liver disease, independent of weight loss, exercise training was associated with 3 and a half times more meaningful treatment response towards lowering liver fat. Strength training is a powerful tool to maintain liver health. See here: and here Now Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a sequence of around twelve yoga poses connected by jumping or stretching movements, varying somewhat between various Yoga schools – which means, it has no regulation or standardization unlike weight training. In Iyengar Yoga there is a way, in Ashtanga Vinayasa Yoga there is Type A and B and there are other types followed by other schools or Yoga teachers. Along with the stretching and jumping, which is done is a slow and steady manner, the practice includes chanting a “mantra” calling out twelve names of the Sun God. In its classical form, Surya Namaskar is not an exercise, and is not aerobic. The energy cost of exercise is measured in units of metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Less than 3 METs counts as light exercise; 3 to 6 METs is moderate; 6 or over is vigorous. American College of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association guidelines count periods of at least 10 minutes of moderate MET level activity towards their recommended daily amounts of exercise. For healthy adults aged 18 to 65, the guidelines recommend moderate exercise for 30 minutes five days a week, or vigorous aerobic exercise for 20 minutes three days a week. Surya Namaskar in its classical form has a measly 2.9 METs and in its rigorous form (some people perform mutated highly active forms of Surya Namaskar to make it feel like an exercise) can go up to 7.4 METs – which requires a lot of jumping and little stretching and no time to chant the Sun God names - does not even come close to strength training by any margin. Those who are part of the Surya Namaskar and Yoga cult would provide anecdotal experiences on its benefits (please see comment section) through non-classical forms and would call it an “exhilarating experience.” Experiences are not scientific, evidence are. Many Yoga journals and some dubious and third rate Ayurveda journals have also have published on such experiences in small group of patients, which are not validated or published in better journals [like this junk here: There are no metanalysis level data to prove effectiveness of Surya Namaskar as beneficial as aerobic exercise or better than strength training as Sadhguru claims. Do Surya namaskar if you are doing nothing. But upgrade to strength training if you want something. And stop listening to pseudoscience peddlers who speak religion and culture for your healthcare needs. Sadhguru suffers seriously from Dunning Kruger fallacy: a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs because of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge.

A person asks Sadhguru, “How much weight training exercise do you recommend?” And Sadhguru answers, “Weight training is not useful, but do 25-50 Surya-Namaskars, it is complete exercise.” First of all, I am not sure why anyone would ask someone like Sadhguru, who is most of the time, in another dimension, a question on exercise and weight training.

I advise my obese or sarcopenic (very poor muscle mass in advanced liver disease) patients to include weight training to improve clinical outcomes. The highest level of scientific evidence showed that standard muscle-strengthening activities were associated with lower risk of death in patients with non-communicable diseases – including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lung cancer. Another metanalysis showed strong evidence for a considerable risk reduction of strength training for 60 minutes a week, on all-cause death (−15%), cardiovascular disease death (−19%), and cancer death (−14%). See here: here Sadhguru says the older we get, the better we do not weight train. He is again absolutely wrong. The findings of another systematic review/metanalysis support power (strength) training as an effective therapeutic intervention for improving physical function in adults diagnosed with frailty (poor physical function in old age) and patients with chronic medical conditions. See here: In fact, another study on strength training, this one again a metanalysis, concluded that strength training interventions can be used as a non-drug treatment for hypertension (!), as they promote significant decreases in blood pressure. See here: Strength training also reduces significantly, chronic inflammation as shown in another high quality systematic review and meta-analysis. See here: Resistance/Strength training improved muscle mass and muscle strength, thereby improving performance status. Improved performance status is a wonderful benchmark for an active and healthy life. See here: Even in fatty liver disease, independent of weight loss, exercise training was associated with 3 and a half times more meaningful treatment response towards lowering liver fat. Strength training is a powerful tool to maintain liver health. See here: and here Now Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a sequence of around twelve yoga poses connected by jumping or stretching movements, varying somewhat between various Yoga schools – which means, it has no regulation or standardization unlike weight training. In Iyengar Yoga there is a way, in Ashtanga Vinayasa Yoga there is Type A and B and there are other types followed by other schools or Yoga teachers. Along with the stretching and jumping, which is done is a slow and steady manner, the practice includes chanting a “mantra” calling out twelve names of the Sun God. In its classical form, Surya Namaskar is not an exercise, and is not aerobic. The energy cost of exercise is measured in units of metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Less than 3 METs counts as light exercise; 3 to 6 METs is moderate; 6 or over is vigorous. American College of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association guidelines count periods of at least 10 minutes of moderate MET level activity towards their recommended daily amounts of exercise. For healthy adults aged 18 to 65, the guidelines recommend moderate exercise for 30 minutes five days a week, or vigorous aerobic exercise for 20 minutes three days a week. Surya Namaskar in its classical form has a measly 2.9 METs and in its rigorous form (some people perform mutated highly active forms of Surya Namaskar to make it feel like an exercise) can go up to 7.4 METs – which requires a lot of jumping and little stretching and no time to chant the Sun God names - does not even come close to strength training by any margin. Those who are part of the Surya Namaskar and Yoga cult would provide anecdotal experiences on its benefits (please see comment section) through non-classical forms and would call it an “exhilarating experience.” Experiences are not scientific, evidence are. Many Yoga journals and some dubious and third rate Ayurveda journals have also have published on such experiences in small group of patients, which are not validated or published in better journals [like this junk here: There are no metanalysis level data to prove effectiveness of Surya Namaskar as beneficial as aerobic exercise or better than strength training as Sadhguru claims. Do Surya namaskar if you are doing nothing. But upgrade to strength training if you want something. And stop listening to pseudoscience peddlers who speak religion and culture for your healthcare needs. Sadhguru suffers seriously from Dunning Kruger fallacy: a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs because of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge.

HONOURING THE GLAMOUR BOYS...⚽️🏟️ The weekend fixture between DEMBARE and MAKIPEKEPE was nothing short of sporting EXCELLENCE at play, and I extend my congratulations to CAPS United for your victory. Football is about COMPETITION and celebrating the BEAUTY of the game !!! HOWEVER, what genuinely SURPRISED me during the match was the level of RIDICULE, and UNNECESSARY MOCKERY directed towards my promise to Dynamos if they WON the match against CAPS UNITED, which I made during my interview on Capitalk FM last week. A PASSIONATE Dynamos supporter had requested that in the event DEMBARE wins, I should buy the club a BRAND-NEW BUS. Whilst the result unfortunately did not go their way, I APPRECIATED the overwhelming love shown by the Dynamos supporters. More importantly, most of close relatives and friends are passionate Dynamos supporters, and for me this matter goes beyond football. DYNAMOS is a HOUSEHOLD NAME and part of Zimbabwe’s football history. It is NEXT BEST THING to be formed in 1963, after ZANU PF. I therefore REFUSE to reduce myself into someone who only stands by his word when circumstances are FAVOURABLE. Accordingly, I say a BIG CONGRATULATIONS to the GLAMOUR BOYS !!! I will STILL proceed with purchasing a BRAND-NEW 65 seater BUS for Dynamos Football Club. In addition, I will also give the players USD$50,000 for trying hard as motivation and encouragement despite the defeat. Please note that this is NOT sponsorship of any sort, but just APPRECIATION to supporters who demonstrated and displayed genuine love by filling up stadium. The Club Management can IMMEDIATELY contact my Lawyer MR SIKHUMBUZO MPOFU and deliver the bus registration details. I must say it's actually SURPRISING how outside Zimbabwe, the "BIG" name “CHIVAYO” is received with RESPECT and treated to RED CARPET receptions. As the saying goes, “a PROPHET is not without HONOUR, EXCEPT in his own HOMETOWN. Unfortunately, some people struggle to celebrate one of their own simply because he is successful or WEALTHY. None of that will ever change who I am or the values I stand for. PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY NAME !!! Football must UNITE US and inspire healthy competition rather than hatred and division. At the end of the day, this was never about proving a point to anyone. It was about HONOURING my word and appreciating GENUINE supporters who showed me overwhelming love and respect. #The_Glamour_Boys #Dynamos_FC #Mukuru_We_Mazuva #Dembare_Bhora

This is the real deal. When Okiya Omtatah says you check the The National Treasury website and see the scams that William Samoei Ruto, PhD is cooking, man it’s horrible. I was looking at some of these budget items and it’s just sickening how these GoK mandarins loot. Why are the office of president, statehouse receiving separate allocations? Why does The National Treasury need 60B for? Seminars and mandazi for their overpaid and underworked bureaucratic pieces of shit? Why is roads, transport & maritime getting different allocations? To fund KIPCHUMBA MURKOMEN, E.G.H’s designer wear? Why is state department of planning getting 61B? To do what? Sit in the office and fart all day? Why is housing getting more than education and/or health? Who determined it was a priority? Why do we have separate budgets for ASAL idiots? So that they can built flats in Nairobi?

After rounds of 67, 68 and 68 Lee Westwood has a share of the lead at LIV Golf Singapore with Jaoco Niemann and he says a win tomorrow would probably be the best of his career: “I guess at the age of -- I'm 53 on the 24th of April, so at that stage, it would probably be the best win of my career. I get asked that question a lot, and I normally go back to the '97 Australian Open beating Greg Norman in a playoff as certainly my favorite win, and then obviously winning at Sun City with my wife carrying my golf bag, I have to then say that that's one of my favorite wins or she's clips me around the ear. “But all of my wins have special memories. But to still be competitive at my age and up there and having chances to win tournaments like this is validation for driving myself on and doing all the hard work and practice that nobody sees and still being competitive, like I say, and having a good enough game to compete against them.” He went on to talk about how comfortable he feels playing in Asia: “Yeah, I've always loved coming to Asia. I set my stall out the beginning of my career, coming to Malaysia and places like that. I went to Japan very early on in my career, 1994, for the Acom International, and then I played Visa Taiheiyos and Dunlop Phoenix and won three Visa Taiheiyos in a row and a Dunlop Phoenix back-to-back with the Visa. I won the Malaysian Open. One place I haven't won is Singapore, so it would be nice to add that to the list. I came close in 2005. Adam pipped me. “I don't have too much of an issue with the heat for some reason. It's hot, but you just deal with it, right? I'd rather play in the heat than the cold. My body seems to loosen up in these conditions, which is a bonus. “I've always enjoyed coming to Asia, and I class myself as a player that's played a world tour all my career. I never really wanted to stay in one spot. I never really wanted to play the PGA TOUR full time. I think I was a member of that tour for six or seven years but I wanted to go and play all around the world and see what the world is all about.” Lee Westwood has won 44 times around the world in more than 20 different countries. He’s looking to add to that list on Sunday in Singapore 🇸🇬 Lee Westwood Majesticks Golf Club LIV Golf

Today, I officially announced my resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and formally declared my membership of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), a party I founded and whose leadership has appointed me as its National Leader. The journey of the NDC has been long in the making, and I helped midwife the process that led to its creation. In making the decision to go with the NDC, I made it clear that Nigeria must never become a one-party state. It would have been easy for me to join the bandwagon of politicians decamping to the ruling party—the APC, but that was never an option for me. My decision is informed by a number of reasons: the APC’s abuse and disrespect of the country’s diversity, its inability to effectively manage national security, and its failure to manage the economy in a manner that protects the welfare of Nigerians, resulting in widespread hunger, poverty, and disillusionment. This is further compounded by the mismanagement of our democratic space and the rejection of electoral reforms, leaving democratic liberties under threat after twelve years in power. My decision to set up the NDC has been a painful one because of the PDP’s contribution to me, the people of Bayelsa and all Nigerians, but the reality is that we must move forward. By my nature and background, I am not a politician of convenience but one guided by conviction, principles, and values. The Nigeria Democratic Congress is a national platform for patriots committed to building a stronger, fairer, and more prosperous Nigeria. Our priorities begin with national security, ensuring the protection of lives and property through strengthened defence and security institutions; education and skills development to build human capacity and drive national progress; affordable and quality healthcare for all Nigerians; a free-market economy guided by responsible regulation and social protection; industrialisation and local production to reduce dependence on imports; modernised agriculture and food security across the value chain; empowerment and inclusion of women and youth in governance and development; true federalism and devolution of powers to strengthen states and local governments; environmental protection and remediation of degraded areas; provision of affordable housing and modern towns; Pan-Africanist foreign policy and economic diplomacy; preservation and promotion of Nigeria’s culture and heritage; expansion of national infrastructure and transportation networks; reliable and sustainable power and energy supply; reform of the public service to ensure efficiency and accountability; and large-scale employment creation across sectors to provide opportunities for all Nigerians. The NDC will promote an independent judiciary, a free and independent press and ensure the promotion and protection of democratic norms and adherence to the rule of law. It is for these reasons that I have chosen to align fully with the NDC as we work together to build a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive Nigeria. I also explained why I could not align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC). I thank the ADC leaders for not succumbing to the pressures of a one-party state, however I am yet to clearly understand their position on some of the fundamental issues and principles that I strongly stand for and believe in. Furthermore, I am not sure if the ADC is a coalition or a collision, but I hope they prove me wrong. ADC leaders are personally known to me; we interact and will continue to do so in furtherance of Nigeria’s democracy. I therefore call on all our people, and indeed all Nigerians who believe in justice, equity, and a new Nigeria, to join this movement. The NDC is a platform for all who are committed to building a nation founded on true federalism, responsible leadership, and shared prosperity for all our people. I thank all Nigerians for their prayers and support. -HSD
