Charlie Kirk's impossible neck position, as he gets carried away from the scene. It is kind of hard to see on this image. I did my best pointing out with two dots the back and the front of his head. It looks like his head position is just about parallel with his shoulders. I am not sure how many men can have their head in this kind of normal resting position, or even in their stretched position ? Maybe ladies can ? I do not know. But men, I do not think so. I surely can not do this even close. If any of you guys can do this, please mention it in the comments. But it does look to me like his neck, at this moment, is broken ? And for those, who do not have a background to this claim, I am attaching a video that hints to how his neck could have been broken, upon his hard body slam from about 4-5 height.

At Big Ten Media Days, #Illini HC Bret Bielema explained why he switched to a 3-3-5 defense. A factor: not able to afford defensive linemen with his budget. "The reason I had to make change on defense was I couldn't afford to pay the the numbers," said Bielema. "I had already gone after an offensive line and had to put money out that I needed to get done for that, and then I knew I could kind of buy, in a way, kind of patch together a new defensive scheme that wouldn't require as big of players. Bielema added, "Because some of those big D linemen, those guys are going for ungodly amount of money, and you just can't have them at the number we were at." Bielema also discussed how some college programs have twice the budget for roster building than other schools. "I'm within $5 million of those guys, I can go to bed every night and I'll feel good. I think I can make that difference, right," said Bielema. "But now you start talking about teams that are double, two and a half times that number. It just it can't happen. It won't happen. I've been able to pull the magic out of the hat a couple times, but like to have that sustainability."

Biggest update I’ve ever shared… Bloom (YC X25) raised $3.4M to unlock the creator economy for software. Let’s be honest: web apps are easy, but building and sharing mobile apps sucks - XCode builds, Apple Developer reviews, TestFlight invites… all make going from idea to an app on users’ hands a slow and painful process. With Bloom you can make a full-stack mobile app by talking into your phone and then share it instantly with a single link. --- Bloom started last Christmas. After landing in Barcelona to visit family, I immediately asked my mom where I could buy a monitor. She was confused, but I was on a mission: I needed those two weeks to run experiments on an idea that had been floating around in my head for months – could I build a mobile app that builds mobile apps? This wasn't just any idea. It was the kind that kept me up at night. I wanted to see if this pipe dream was technically feasible – could we dynamically change a mobile app's functionality on the fly? I came back to Zurich with something promising, but nothing definite. In mid-January, I had a critical conversation with my co-founder Sirian Maathuis. We were making steady progress with our previous product, Fireview, but I couldn't shake this feeling about Bloom. "This could be extremely big," I told him. "It could change the world. It's probably the coolest product we could ever build." With the YC application deadline just three weeks away, we pivoted and scrambled to build an MVP. After submitting our application at midnight, Sirian stayed up until 4 AM recording our demo. Once David Lieb saw our application, things moved fast and we got to spend three intense months in San Francisco with YC. We closed our round 5 days before demo day and didn't have a deck - our product demo did all the talking. --- This $3.4M round is led by Moonfire Ventures , with participation from Y Combinator and Pioneer We're also backed by an incredible group of founders and operators Thomas Wolf (Founder/CSO, HuggingFace) Bob van Luijt (Founder/CEO, Weaviate) Jamie Turner (Founder/CEO, Convex) Theo - t3.gg (Founder/CEO, T3Chat) Evan Bacon 🥓 (Expo) cedric (Expo) colinevans (OpenAI) Ron Besseling (Whatsapp) Clive Anyonye (Meta) Robert van Gaal (Google, Vesper) Nick Lenten (Founder/CEO, Ahead Health) Helena (Founder Embassy) Chris Smoak (serial founder & YC alum) Gianmaria Sbetta (Google) Ruben (Founder, VC Corner) Special thanks to those who believed in us from the beginning: Founderful Campus, Andrew Daniels 💜, Chase Myers , S2S, Jamie Turner , and David Lieb We're now back in Europe, building out the founding team that is going to redefine how the next wave of apps is built. If you’re someone that loves building product, solving complex problems and working on the future of software, we’d love to talk. There's so much to build, and we're just getting started. If you want to fast track your application or know anyone who would be a fit, comment with “Join Bloom”

Full video and transcript of Elon Musk's speech at Donald Trump's rally a few hours ago. "Hi, everyone. As you can see I'm not just MAGA. I'm dark MAGA. First of all, I want to say what an honor it is to be here You know, the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire. And we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist-pumping after getting shot. Fight, fight, fight! Blood coming down the face. America is the home of the brave, and there's no true test than courage under fire. Who do you want representing America? And I think this election is the most important election of our lifetime. This is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. They want to take away your right to vote effectively. You've got 14 states now that don't require voter ID. California, where I used to live, just passed a law banning voter ID for voting. I still can't believe that's real. So how are you supposed to have a good, proper election if there's no ID? It's just meaningless. And free speech is the bedrock of democracy. And if people don't know what's going on, if they don't know the truth, how can you make an informed vote? You must have free speech in order to have democracy. That's why it's the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment is there to ensure that we have the First Amendment. President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America. This is a must win situation. So I have one ask for everyone in the audience, everyone who watches this video, everyone in the live stream, there's one request. It's very important. Register to vote. Okay? And get everyone you know and everyone you don't know. Drag them to register to vote. There's only two days left to register to vote in Georgia and Arizona. 48 hours. Text people now, now. And then, make sure they actually do vote. If they don't, this will be the last election. That's my prediction. Nothing's more important. So, I'm speaking to people out there. Everyone in the crowd, I think, is already convinced. But for people out there that are watching the video, watching the live stream, you need to get everyone you know at work, your friends, family, text groups, your social media, everything. Get them to register to vote. Right now. Only two days left for Georgia and Arizona. Only a couple weeks left in Pennsylvania. And if they're not registered to vote, it doesn't matter at that point. Register. I'm being repetitive for a reason. A lot of people think maybe the vote doesn't count. Well, it does. It does. It matters. And this election could be decided by 1000 votes, 500 votes, a tiny margin. So get everyone you know to register to vote. And double-check that your registration is good. Don't take it for granted. I'm just being repetitive about this point because it is one takeaway. More than anything, what will matter is getting those registrations and then getting everyone you know to actually vote. That is what will decide this election, especially in Pennsylvania. And honestly, you want to just be a pest. Just be a pest to everyone you know, people on the street, everywhere. Vote, vote, vote, fight, fight, fight! Thank you."

UPDATE FROM JAKE- I went to show support at Chud the Builder's $1. 25 million bond hearing and was arrested and thrown (in the maximum he could sentence me to) of 10 days of solitary confinement by the judge!!!! Here's how it happened. I was sitting next to Chud's wonderful and soft-spoken fiancee when she whispered, “I love you” to Chud, and was kicked out of the courtroom!!! Moments later, I was nodding my head in agreement to a video of Chud during an interview when the bailiff demanded that I leave the courtroom as well! I stood up and calmly exited and said in a normal speaking tone “This is two-tiered justice!” I am now inside of Montgomery County Jail STARVING for two days because they are refusing to give me a Kosher Diet!! I was also told by Sergeant Hawley today that my request for Kosher Diet was denied and that he would be put on suicide watch if I refuse to eat, which is basically naked torture in a cell alone for 10 days. They also are saying they're going to move me in with a roommate in solitary tonight, but would not give me any other details on who they would be putting me with!!! I showed up to Chud's hearing because I know what it's like to turn around in a courtroom where your life is on the line and see nobody but your mother and father. I wanted to make sure Chud did not go through the same pain I had to for four years and six days as a January sixth political prisoner. I stood up and said something because that's what righteous men do. All it takes for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. Not me. As for me in my house, we shall serve the LORD. Free chud. SECOND UPDATE- As I was on the phone with Jake yesterday getting this message from him, he was yelling in his cell begging to be fed and saying how hungry he was. Seconds later Supervisor Black and another man went in his cell, said he’s coming with them, put him in handcuffs and took him away. I have now not heard from Jake for over 24 hours because they have taken away his phone privileges simply for begging for FOOD!!!!! I have the entire thing on recording. It is disturbing and sickening. I have called the jail dozens of times yesterday and today and they refuse to tell me where he was taken and will not let him speak to me. Every single lieutenant, supervisor, etc I have spoken to yesterday and today have all given me different stories than the other and continuously lie to cover up what they are doing. These people are EVIL AND SICK!!!! I have all of those calls recorded and documented also. I have spent three days calling every lawyer and law firm in Clarksville Tennessee and NOT ONE lawyer is willing to help Jake because Jake was arrested at Chuds court hearing and these SPINELESS COWARDS are all to scared to put their name anywhere associated with Chud. Between the INSANE POWER HUNGRY LUNATIC JUDGE, the WEAK PATHETIC lawyers and the EVIL SCUM at the Montgomery county jail, it has been an absolute nightmare. Lord, save us.

Those Stargate Outtakes and Bloopers Were almost lost to time. And the only reason they exist is thanks to nostalgia, my poor memory, and sheer laziness on my part. Back in the early days of SG-1, every producer would receive a copy of the dailies (footage of what had been shot the previous day). We would usually gather at lunch and screen footage over sandwiches and rotisserie chicken. And then, once we were done, we'd drop off the VHS tapes (because that's what they were at the time) in a recycling bin by our mail slots. Given that this was my first big show, I held on to some of those tapes from the early years, figuring they'd make a nice memento of my time on the franchise (not realizing there were still many, many more years to go). In time, the dailies transitioned to digital discs and that box of VHS tapes were forgotten, gathering dust in the crawlspace of my Vancouver home. If I'd listened to my ex, I would have made the effort to clear out that crawlspace and toss out what I no longer needed - probably those tapes. But I was lazy. Some ten years later, former Stargate special features producer Ivon Bartok was clearing out his storage unit and came across a slew of digital discs and tapes containing hundreds if not thousands of hours of behind the scenes footage he had shot over the years. Much of it had been used - produced and released on the various box sets over the years. But I figured that there was plenty of untapped gold in those tapes, so I sent them off to MGM figuring they could sort through them and hopefully find something, a special treat for the fandom. I don't know what they found. Maybe nothing. However, I never heard back. Fast-forward another ten years and i've moved to Toronto and am sorting through the endless boxes of comic books, supervillain statues, and toys that fill the entirety of my guest room - when I come across that box of VHS tapes. And this time, I don't send them off. Instead, I have them transfer to digital and check out what I've unwittingly squirreled away for two decades. I wouldn't call it a goldmine, but a lot of that rescued footage is pretty fantastic - to me, who wrote and produced these episodes, and for the fans who loved watching those episodes. So I took the time to screen all the footage, edit the notable outtakes and bloopers, and, over the course of the past couple of years, post them for your enjoyment. You've already seen a lot of the great ones - Chris Judge trying to keep it together, Michael Shanks and his masterclass "Many Faces of Daniel Jackson", dancing at the ruins, and many others. And, every so often, I'll come across one I don't recall ever uploading. Though, as evidenced by this post, I have a terrible memory, so who knows? Anyway, all this to say, you never know how things work out.

#Lie 🤥| Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman once said: "If not for the fear of harming innocent Yemeni civilians, we could wipe out the Houthis in a week," this is an insult to the 150,000 Yemenis who died, a desecration of 1,200 mosques, and a betrayal of Islam. This statement was resurfaced by pro-Saudi accounts, accompanied by words of praise: "A reminder of the difference between those who merely talk about Islam and those who truly practice its principles. May Allah continue to guide your steps, great Prince." This is an insult to the 150,000 Yemenis who died. This is a desecration of the 1,200 mosques that were destroyed. This is a betrayal of Islam. 💀First, What did the Saudi-led coalition do in Yemen? ◾Over 200,000 airstrikes. ◾ More than 150,000 Yemeni deaths, the majority being civilians. ◾ Bombings of hospitals, schools, weddings, funerals, markets, and prisons. ◾ 2016 funeral bombing: 140 dead, 525 injured. ◾ 2018 school bus bombing: 40 children dead, 79 injured. ◾ 2022 prison bombing: 87 prisoners dead, 266 injured. ◾ September 2026 prison bombing: 35 dead, 7 injured. ◾ September 2026 bridge bombing: two children dead. ◾ Destruction of 303 mosques in Saada Governorate. ◾Destruction of over 1,200 mosques across Yemen. ◾ Use of cluster bombs and white phosphorus munitions. · Supporting the operations of Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Yemen. ◾ Employing child soldiers. ◾Imposing a years-long air, land, and sea blockade, creating the world's worst humanitarian crisis. ◾ Leaving over 20 million people in need of aid and more than a million children on the brink of starvation. This is MBS’s "concern for innocent civilians." This is his adherence to "Islamic principles." 🕌 Second, who is desecrating Islam? MBS’s record as the "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques" MBS styles himself the "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques." What has he actually done? ◾Hosted the Soundstorm music festival in Mecca the Middle East’s largest electronic music festival where DJs played electronic music and tens of thousands danced just kilometers away from the Kaaba. ◾Hosted the MDL Beast music festival in Mecca featuring David Guetta, Tiësto, and Afrojack performing in front of massive LED screens displaying images of the Kaaba. ◾Hosted WWE wrestling matches in Mecca with female wrestlers performing in Islam’s holiest city. ◾Opened a Hard Rock Cafe in Mecca an American restaurant chain known for rock music and alcohol. ◾Gifted a piece of the Kaaba’s sacred covering to Jeffrey Epstein photos from the Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice show Epstein looking at a black-and-gold fabric that closely resembles the Kaaba's covering; email records confirm that in 2017, three pieces of fabric related to the sacred covering were airlifted from Saudi Arabia to Florida, arranged through contacts in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. ◾Bombed mosques in Yemen 303 in Saada alone, and 1,200 nationwide. ◾ Blockaded Yemen, causing Muslim children to starve to death. MBS opens nightclubs in Mecca. MBS bombs mosques in Yemen. MBS gifts sacred fabric to a sex offender. And then he claims, "I am concerned about innocent civilians in Yemen." Is this the man who "truly upholds Islamic principles"?

#Lie 🤥| Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman once said: "If not for the fear of harming innocent Yemeni civilians, we could wipe out the Houthis in a week," this is an insult to the 150,000 Yemenis who died, a desecration of 1,200 mosques, and a betrayal of Islam. This statement was resurfaced by pro-Saudi accounts, accompanied by words of praise: "A reminder of the difference between those who merely talk about Islam and those who truly practice its principles. May Allah continue to guide your steps, great Prince." This is an insult to the 150,000 Yemenis who died. This is a desecration of the 1,200 mosques that were destroyed. This is a betrayal of Islam. 💀First, What did the Saudi-led coalition do in Yemen? ◾Over 200,000 airstrikes. ◾ More than 150,000 Yemeni deaths, the majority being civilians. ◾ Bombings of hospitals, schools, weddings, funerals, markets, and prisons. ◾ 2016 funeral bombing: 140 dead, 525 injured. ◾ 2018 school bus bombing: 40 children dead, 79 injured. ◾ 2022 prison bombing: 87 prisoners dead, 266 injured. ◾ September 2026 prison bombing: 35 dead, 7 injured. ◾ September 2026 bridge bombing: two children dead. ◾ Destruction of 303 mosques in Saada Governorate. ◾Destruction of over 1,200 mosques across Yemen. ◾ Use of cluster bombs and white phosphorus munitions. · Supporting the operations of Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Yemen. ◾ Employing child soldiers. ◾Imposing a years-long air, land, and sea blockade, creating the world's worst humanitarian crisis. ◾ Leaving over 20 million people in need of aid and more than a million children on the brink of starvation. This is MBS’s "concern for innocent civilians." This is his adherence to "Islamic principles." 🕌 Second, who is desecrating Islam? MBS’s record as the "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques" MBS styles himself the "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques." What has he actually done? ◾Hosted the Soundstorm music festival in Mecca the Middle East’s largest electronic music festival where DJs played electronic music and tens of thousands danced just kilometers away from the Kaaba. ◾Hosted the MDL Beast music festival in Mecca featuring David Guetta, Tiësto, and Afrojack performing in front of massive LED screens displaying images of the Kaaba. ◾Hosted WWE wrestling matches in Mecca with female wrestlers performing in Islam’s holiest city. ◾Opened a Hard Rock Cafe in Mecca an American restaurant chain known for rock music and alcohol. ◾Gifted a piece of the Kaaba’s sacred covering to Jeffrey Epstein photos from the Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice show Epstein looking at a black-and-gold fabric that closely resembles the Kaaba's covering; email records confirm that in 2017, three pieces of fabric related to the sacred covering were airlifted from Saudi Arabia to Florida, arranged through contacts in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. ◾Bombed mosques in Yemen 303 in Saada alone, and 1,200 nationwide. ◾ Blockaded Yemen, causing Muslim children to starve to death. MBS opens nightclubs in Mecca. MBS bombs mosques in Yemen. MBS gifts sacred fabric to a sex offender. And then he claims, "I am concerned about innocent civilians in Yemen." Is this the man who "truly upholds Islamic principles"? Is this the "great prince" whom people pray "may Allah guide your steps"? ⚔️ Third, "Crush the Houthis in a week" the reality 12 years later MBS said he would "crush them in a week." Twelve years have passed. The Houthi AnsarAllah forces have: 🔸Seized control of the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. 🔸 Seized control of the entire Red Sea coastline. 🔸 Captured the port of Mocha, Perim Island, Zuqar Island, and the Kahbub mountain range. 🔸Captured 1,500 Saudi-backed mercenaries. 🔸 Shot down F-15s, Wing Loong-2s, and RQ-20s. 🔸 Struck seven Saudi cities with ballistic missiles. 🔸 Fired missiles at Riyadh for the first time. 🔸 Forced Saudi Arabia to request a ceasefire via Oman. 🔸 Forced Saudi Arabia to seek help from Israel, Egypt, and China. 🔸 Caused the US to reject Saudi requests for military aid twice.

Anthony Kim says it’s special to win as a team for the first time and DJ promised he’d buy the 4Aces a private plane soon: “Yeah, it was my first time, obviously, in that situation where we had a chance to win. I think it was the second-to-last hole when DJ and I were playing together, I thought that we were up one, and I had a 10-footer, and it actually meant a little bit more than just moving up the leaderboard a little bit. “To win with these guys is pretty special, and I look forward to doing it a lot more.” “I was straight trash the first year and a half I played. But yeah, I felt my game was getting better, and I think I had a couple different teams I could go to. I didn't think they were the right fit. “I've known DJ for a long time, developed a great relationship with Thomas Pieters and got to play with Tom Detry in Riyadh. I knew it was a good fit. I couldn't be more excited to be on the 4Aces, and for us to pop off a win is nice. “DJ said he was going to get us a private plane soon (smiling).” In his first 3 events since qualifying back to the LIV Golf League via the Promotions Events AK has an individual win and a team win. So does he find it all a bit surreal? “After Adelaide, the first couple days seemed pretty surreal. Obviously we all play to win, right? But now with LIV Golf, there's two elements. You get to win with three other guys that you're battling with. This is pretty special. “Obviously I didn't have my best. DJ didn't have his best this week. But both Thomases played well. This seems more real, right? “But when we're top 4 and we win the team title, that'll be nice. But it's been a great ride. I know if I didn't make that putt, I'm probably not sitting here with these guys. But I put in the work, and I'm going to keep putting in the work.” AK and the 4Aces now head to LIV Golf Singapore for the 2nd event of a 3 week stretch. Anthony Kim 4Aces GC LIV Golf

Mayur Kamat (Mayur Kamat) is CPO at N26, ex-Head of Product at Binance, and built and scaled products at Google (Gmail Mobile, Hangouts), Microsoft, and travel unicorn agoda. Mayur shares endless wild stories and a lot of unconventional product insights I've never heard before. There's something in this conversation for everyone. Some of my biggest takeaways: 1. Binance’s leadership met every single day (often at 11 p.m.) so no decision waited more than 24 hours. Tight feedback loops beat elaborate planning. 2. Founder CZ kept about 55 direct reports so individual contributors were never more than one level away from the CEO. This forced leaders to live in the details and empowered ICs to “own the whole cell.” 3. Mayur literally moved his desk to whichever team had the biggest 10x upside—or downside—at that moment. Apply the same lens: growth and compliance issues usually move the needle fastest in fintech. 4. Treat “strategy” as a hypothesis pipeline: ship small, measure fast, double down on what the data proves. Tools like Statsig, Gemini summaries, and cohort dashboards make this possible at scale. 5. Work at companies that compound learning. High-growth environments (Google in the early mobile era, Agoda’s A/B culture, Binance’s hyperscale, N26’s pan-EU banking) give you daily reps and a powerful alumni network—worth far more than early salary bumps. 6. Optimize for your superpowers, not your gaps. Identify what energizes you—via StrengthsFinder-style assessments or honest reflection—and choose roles where those strengths decide success. Early in your career, ignore compensation differentials that don’t accelerate this fit. 7. Fast, reversible decisions beat “perfect” ones. In most product calls there’s no right vs. wrong—only slow vs. fast. Move quickly, learn, and pivot; reserve heavyweight processes for bets that could kill the company or the user. 8. Fintech creates exceptional PMs. Banking/financial products involve existential tradeoffs daily, requiring exceptional stakeholder management and decision-making skills.

Witold Pilecki is regarded as the only known person to have volunteered to enter Auschwitz. His mission was to discover what was happening inside the camp, inform the outside world and establish a resistance network. Yesterday marked the 86th anniversary of Witold Pilecki’s arrest. “His decision to allow himself to be arrested was one of the bravest acts of the war,” says Jack Fairweather, author of the acclaimed Pilecki biography The Volunteer and interim President and CEO of the Pilecki Institute (USA). How did his arrest come about? In the summer of 1940, the leadership of the Polish underground knew very little about the camp the Germans had established at Auschwitz. The town lay in the part of occupied Poland that the German Reich had annexed directly following the invasion of September 1939. At that time, Auschwitz was used primarily to crush Polish resistance and terrorise members of the Polish elite. The underground was looking for an officer who could enter the camp, gather information and establish clandestine structures there. Witold Pilecki was chosen for the mission. But an undertaking of such danger could not simply be imposed upon him as an order. The final decision was his. On 19 September 1940, Pilecki was staying at the home of his sister-in-law, Eleonora Ostrowska, in Warsaw’s Żoliborz district. German units had sealed off the neighbourhood and begun a large-scale roundup. The building’s caretaker twice offered to hide Pilecki, but he declined. Pilecki had prepared himself for his arrest, both mentally and physically. He had even packed a toothbrush. When, shortly afterwards, there was a violent knock at the door, Pilecki said goodbye to Ostrowska’s son and went to face the German uniformed officers. Before being led away, he whispered to his sister-in-law: “Report where necessary that I have carried out the order.” That same day, Pilecki and the other detainees were taken to a barracks in Warsaw. Two days later, the prisoners were marched to the railway station and locked inside freight wagons. Pilecki was carrying false papers in the name of Tomasz Serafiński. There was no guarantee that he would actually be sent to Auschwitz. He could not know where the Germans would take him, and anyone arrested during such a roundup faced an immediate threat to their life. His mission therefore began with a decision whose consequences he could not control. At Auschwitz, Pilecki was assigned prisoner number 4859. Despite the omnipresent terror, he established a secret resistance network that eventually included hundreds of prisoners. The organisation gathered information about conditions in the camp and passed it to the outside world. At the same time, it created a system of mutual assistance: it obtained food and medicine, supported weakened prisoners and those in particular danger, and attempted to have them assigned to less arduous work details. From the beginning of his imprisonment, Pilecki collected information about German crimes and living conditions at Auschwitz. His first message reached the Polish underground in Warsaw as early as October 1940. Further reports followed regularly. Among other methods, Pilecki had them smuggled out of the camp by released prisoners. Through the structures of the Polish Underground State, the information reached the Polish government-in-exile in London and subsequently the Allies. Later reports also documented Auschwitz’s development into a centre for the extermination of Europe’s Jews. After two years and seven months, Pilecki decided to escape. On the night of 26–27 April 1943, he fled Auschwitz together with Edward Ciesielski and Jan Redzej. Once free, he wrote extensive reports describing his experiences and the crimes committed in the camp.

Baking soda—that unassuming white powder tucked away in every kitchen—has quietly earned a reputation as one of the world's most versatile, budget-friendly wellness allies. Far beyond its baking duties, emerging research highlights its potential to support everything from everyday digestive woes to more complex health challenges, all thanks to its knack for balancing the body's pH levels and countering excess acidity. It's no wonder it's a go-to in many households for those post-meal discomforts. Start with the basics: A simple half-teaspoon dissolved in water acts as a gentle antacid, offering quick relief for indigestion, heartburn, and even acid-related issues like ulcers or gout flare-ups. Medical sources like Mayo Clinic back this up, noting how sodium bicarbonate neutralizes stomach acid. It's no wonder it's a go-to in many households for those post-meal discomforts. But the intrigue deepens with inflammation. Animal studies have shown promising results: Baking soda appears to dial down inflammatory markers and ease pain responses, sparking interest in its role for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders. A 2025 review in Technology Networks pointed to how it might tweak immune signaling in macrophages, potentially easing chronic inflammation without the side effects of heavier meds. Human applications are still unfolding, but it's a reminder that simple interventions can sometimes pack a punch. For respiratory bugs, folklore from a century ago—like 1918 flu-era tips—touted alkalinizing with baking soda to shorten symptom duration, with some anecdotal reports of relief in under two days. Modern evidence is lighter here, but its pH-balancing act could support overall immune resilience during cold and flu season, per wellness experts exploring natural adjuncts. In kidney health, the science is more robust. Multiple clinical trials, including a 2024 study in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, demonstrate that oral sodium bicarbonate can slow the progression of chronic kidney disease by correcting metabolic acidosis—potentially preserving function and delaying the need for dialysis. It's a low-cost strategy that's gained traction in nephrology circles. Perhaps the most head-turning angle? Oncology research. Preclinical work, like a 2018 Ludwig Cancer study, suggests baking soda could tweak the acidic tumor microenvironment, making cancer cells more vulnerable to therapies and potentially slowing growth in models. A 2023 Healthline overview echoes this, noting it might enhance chemo's punch by raising pH around tumors—though experts stress it's no standalone cure, just a fascinating complement under medical guidance. Always chat with your doc before experimenting. Athletes, take note: If lactic acid buildup is your workout nemesis, baking soda shines as a natural buffer. Studies in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition show it delays fatigue, letting you push longer at peak effort—think extended sprints or HIIT sessions. That's why it's been outright banned in horse racing (yep, those infamous "milkshakes" for thoroughbreds), as confirmed by racing authorities worldwide—proof of its edge, but a nod to fair play. At its core, all these perks trace back to pH harmony. Excess blood acidity fuels cellular stress and inflammation, but baking soda steps in as a rapid stabilizer—earning it a spot in ERs, ORs, and ICUs for acidosis emergencies. Yet, as Healthline notes, it's often overlooked in routine checkups, despite its safety profile when used mindfully. So next time you reach for that box, remember: It's more than a leavener—it's a quiet powerhouse.

OP shared that she ran into Taejin last night (260812) in Baltimore — Jin and Tae went to a restaurant together 😭😭 OP went to both Baltimore concerts and even wore a whole Super Tuna outfit on the second day. Jin is her bias, and she happened to run into Taejin while she was having dinner with her husband 👤: “Literally just went to like one of our frequent spots that’s like right near where I live. Again, I’m not gonna say where it was. So we’re sitting out on this patio. It’s like us and like one other table, like a very small patio. And we order our drinks and all of a sudden two blacked out Cadillacs start rolling up like literally right behind where I’m sitting. And my friend who is across from me is like, hey, like there’s black Cadillacs behind you.” 👤: “I did not have my phone out. No one at my table had our phones out. Like we were just giving them their space, like admiring from afar, but basically out from the two Cadillacs walks, Jin and Tae, it was just those two though. So obviously I’m absolutely freaking the hell out. Like what the hell do you even do in that situation? They were absolutely stunning, obviously. Like we all know that they’re gorgeous, but like… absolute perfection.” 👤: “Tae was wearing like a cut off tank with a backwards hat and he was looking very jacked. And Jin had on like a zip up with a forward facing hat. It was probably like 5 to 7 yards away. Like it was insane. So obviously they go into the restaurant and we’re sitting there like… So how much to eat now? Like I lost my appetite. My hands are literally shaking.” 👤: “Eventually, the Cadillacs like come back. So I guess they were ready to leave and we were still out there. I basically like told myself, I was like, okay, I’m gonna look again, not gonna film, like, duh, would never do that. And I was like, if he looks over here, like I’ll wave. But other than that, like I’m not gonna like call his name, anything like that. No one was like harassing them outside or anything like that? I mean, I can’t speak to like what happened in the restaurant because I wasn’t in there. But everyone was being like very respectful.” 👤: “They come out and I’m like, you know, trying to casually just like watch Jin walk. And he does turn our way. I wave to him and he did wave back. So obviously my life was complete in that moment.” 👤: “And my dream was just that the boys would be able to explore the city freely and that they would enjoy it and have a good time. And it definitely seemed like they did. So I was so over the moon already because of that. And I hope if you were in town for the concert that you also had a nice time here.” 👤: “So yeah, in fact, my BTS weekend had not ended and it decided to end in the absolute best way possible. I am gonna go eat this and replay that moment in my head for the rest of my life.” OP also replied in the comments, “Tae was also taking some photos as he was leaving the restaurant and seemed very happy” Manifesting Taehyung posting those photos… 😭 cr. taylordoesparks (IG) 260812 #taejin #vjin #テテジン #뷔진

And my friend who is across from me is like, hey, like there’s black Cadillacs behind you.” 👤: “I did not have my phone out. No one at my table had our phones out. Like we were just giving them their space, like admiring from afar, but basically out from the two Cadillacs walks, Jin and Tae, it was just those two though. So obviously I’m absolutely freaking the hell out. Like what the hell do you even do in that situation? They were absolutely stunning, obviously. Like we all know that they’re gorgeous, but like… absolute perfection.” 👤: “Tae was wearing like a cut off tank with a backwards hat and he was looking very jacked. And Jin had on like a zip up with a forward facing hat. It was probably like 5 to 7 yards away. Like it was insane. So obviously they go into the restaurant and we’re sitting there like… So how much to eat now? Like I lost my appetite. My hands are literally shaking.” 👤: “Eventually, the Cadillacs like come back. So I guess they were ready to leave and we were still out there. I basically like told myself, I was like, okay, I’m gonna look again, not gonna film, like, duh, would never do that. And I was like, if he looks over here, like I’ll wave. But other than that, like I’m not gonna like call his name, anything like that. No one was like harassing them outside or anything like that? I mean, I can’t speak to like what happened in the restaurant because I wasn’t in there. But everyone was being like very respectful.” 👤: “They come out and I’m like, you know, trying to casually just like watch Jin walk. And he does turn our way. I wave to him and he did wave back. So obviously my life was complete in that moment.” 👤: “And my dream was just that the boys would be able to explore the city freely and that they would enjoy it and have a good time. And it definitely seemed like they did. So I was so over the moon already because of that. And I hope if you were in town for the concert that you also had a nice time here.” 👤: “So yeah, in fact, my BTS weekend had not ended and it decided to end in the absolute best way possible. I am gonna go eat this and replay that moment in my head for the rest of my life.” OP also replied in the comments, “Tae was also taking some photos as he was leaving the restaurant and seemed very happy” Manifesting Taehyung posting those photos… 😭 cr. taylordoesparks (IG) 260812 #taejin #vjin #テテジン #뷔진

🚨EXCLUSIVE: The untold story of the FBI’s J6 pipe bomber “Person of Interest #2”🚨 If what the FBI’s January 6 pipe bomber “Person of Interest #2” (POI2) told me about his FBI interview is true, there is further proof that the Bureau has covered up, or “deleted,” additional video footage about what happened when the RNC pipe bomb was allegedly discovered by Karlin Younger on January 6, 2021. I will not reveal the identity or any other identifying information about the FBI’s POI2 in the January 6 pipe bomb saga. I also won't discuss the full five hours of personal interview time with POI2; instead, I will focus on two key pieces of information he gave me. As a primer for those not already following this story in detail, here is a brief rundown of the facts in POI2’s case and why the FBI was initially interested in him as a “person of interest”: -POI2 does not live in the Greater D.C. area. He lives in a large American city in a state that does not border D.C. -From news releases, congressional reports, FBI statements, and an FBI whistleblower disclosure, we know that POI2 was visiting a lifelong acquaintance (POI3) at his residence in Fall Church, VA, over the course of January 4 - 7, 2021. -POI2 used POI3’s Metrorail card for travel back and forth to the District on the 5th and 6th. -POI2 caught the attention of law enforcement investigators when he emerged from D.C.’s Metro South rail station on January 5, changed hats and put on dark sunglasses, then beelined straight across the street from the station into the Rumsey Court alley behind the Republican National Committee headquarters. It was in that alley that POI2 began taking photos of “numbers.” Numbers on trash cans, dumpsters, door addresses, and the like. According to the FBI, POI2 planned to use those photographs in a forthcoming book. (To date, that book has not been published.) Then, after walking around Capitol Hill all day long, and even attending some of the J5 protest events, POI2 ducked back into the same alley for a few minutes — after dark — before returning to the Metro South station across the street from the RNC. He returned to Falls Church via the train, where POI3 picked him up by car, and they went back to POI3’s home. POI2 then returned to DC the next morning to attend Trump’s speech at The Ellipse on the 6th. -POI2 was cleared of suspicion following two FBI interviews on January 19, 2021, at his residence in his home city. These interviews took place six days after the FBI pulled their Special Operations Group (SOG) surveillance team off POI3’s home on January 13, just two days after they were deployed to watch the infamous Falls Church, VA condominium address where we now know POI3 shared a firewall between his address and the then residence of former Capitol Police officer Shauni Kerkhoff. The subject of our November 8, 2025 story published by Blaze Media. How I came to spend five hours with POI2 I met with POI2 twice, on December 11 and 12, 2025. On the 11th, a member of our team accompanied me: a retired FBI veteran of 25 years now working as a private investigator. That first interview lasted for three hours, and then the next day I met with POI2, just him and me, for another two hours. I arrived in POI2’s home city on the 10th to do some early recon. We had POI2’s name (which I’d acquired from a congressional source), and his address, but we didn’t have a current phone number. After running an extensive background on him, we learned a lot about his life and work, social media, friends and close associates, and even where he attends church, but we still didn't have a phone number to call him and ask for a meeting. Most interesting of all, POI2 is a prolific international traveler. In one recent year, he had logged over 40 international flights. So we didn’t even know if he’d be in the country, much less at home, if we knocked on this door. My recon of his address was a huge disappointment. His apartment building is one of those old inner-city manufacturing plants refitted into modern, upscale housing. The entire property is ringed by tall wrought-iron fencing, with electronic security for entry into the parking garage, foot traffic, and into the building itself. There was no visible way for us to just pay him a visit for a “knock and talk.” Perhaps we could have “buzzed” him from an exterior gate, but I didn’t get that far that day. Later that evening, I picked up my team member from the airport — the retired FBI guy — and we went to dinner for a long, late-night planning session. We identified a couple of strong local personal connections he had via his Facebook page, and we planned to visit them first, get more info about POI2, and maybe even get their help reaching out to him. At 9:00 a.m. the next morning, we arrived at the home of someone who seemed like they might be closest to him. We were lucky and hit a home run on the first swing. Without the long details, our “story” about why we were looking for POI2 — their close friend — worked like a charm, and we were invited into their home. Our host called POI2, and within two hours POI2 joined us at our new friend’s home. Luckily, POI2 had returned to the States from an overseas trip only the day before. For the next three hours, I asked most of the questions while my partner listened and observed. Based on my partner’s 25+ years of experience with the FBI, he believed POI2 answered everything truthfully … “Or, he’s a very, very good liar.” My partner had to fly back home the next morning, but I had many follow-up questions for POI2. I reached out again early in the morning, and he agreed to meet me at a coffee shop in his neighborhood. ***(On a personal timeline aside: during my second interview with POI2, I was only nine days away from my heart failure episode, and was already struggling to breath after the slightest of physical exertions.)*** The most significant reveal We met at 1:30 p.m., and spent another two full hours together. During this session, we had a detailed conversation about his two interviews with two FBI special agents. Both of those interviews were on the same day. January 19, 2021. POI2 had explained to the FBI agents that the reason he returned to the Rumsey Court alley behind the RNC was that he remembered there were several trash cans in the alley, and he wanted to dispose of an empty plastic water bottle before going back to the train station. I asked him why he didn’t simply throw the bottle away at the Metrotrain station. He shrugged. From our video review, POI2 only stayed in the alley for about three to four minutes. But if what he revealed to me is true, it is one of the most significant discoveries in our years-long pipe bomb investigation. POI2 shared with me that the FBI agents told him that he had thrown the empty water bottle away in the very trash container next to where the bomb would be placed a little over an hour and a half later. Why that is significant FIRST, it reveals that the FBI most likely had video of him depositing that empty bottle into that container. Yes … they could have taken DNA samples of every item in that trash can, but then they would also have needed DNA from POI2 in their database. POI2 didn’t offer that option as their explanation. He assumed they saw him on camera. I can personally attest that there is currently a camera in Rumsey Court that would cover the area where the bomb was placed, but I do not know if that same camera existed in January of 2021. But if they did observe POI2, on camera, tossing the bottle in the trash can immediately next to where the bomb was placed, then the FBI most certainly has video of Karlin Younger — the FirstNet employee — who discovered that device at approximately 12:35 p.m. the next day, January 6. Only 25 minutes before Vice President Mike Pence was to drop the gavel on the joint session of Congress to certify the 2020 Electoral College presidential vote. Only about 18 minutes before the first breach of that outer bike rack barricade on the west Capitol grounds, led by Ray Epps, Ryan Samsel, and other suspicious characters. Many investigators, including Congressman Loudermilk and his committee, have posited that the two devices placed by the gray hooded bomber on J5 were retrieved at some point in the early morning hours of J6, then replaced just before their “discovery” a few minutes either side of 1:00 p.m. The allegedly “deleted” video from the two DNC cameras that provided the footage of the gray hooded bomber placing a device on the evening of J5 would have also shown us what happened after midnight. Whether or not the two plainclothes Capitol Police counter-surveillance officers were the ones who replaced the device just before reporting its discovery to the Secret Service agents attending VP-Elect Kamala Harris’s presence inside the building at the time. (Article to that story linked in comments below.) A camera aimed at the RNC drop location would give us the same information about what happened during the night, and when Karlin Younger discovered that device while walking back and forth and doing her laundry. The FBI claims that the footage from the two DNC cameras — after that device was planted under a bench — was accidentally deleted. (No one buys that story.) Those two FBI agents may also have inadvertently revealed to POI2 that video footage exists from that dark corner of the RNC/Capitol Hill Club alley on J5 and J6. Both missing videos, if they were to surface, would either invalidate all conspiracy theories about the pipe bombs, or confirm the prevailing theories and circumstantial evidence pointing to law enforcement participation and a multi-agency conspiracy. SECOND, if the two FBI agents were telling POI2 the truth about that specific trash container, then it brings into question all of POI2’s own statements about why he returned to that alley after dark. That very trash can was in the furthest and darkest corner of the RNC/Capitol Hill Club side of Rumsey Court. He would have had to ignore several of the first and most clearly visible, well-lit trash bins upon his arrival into that alley by way of the walkway between the RNC and the Capitol Hill Club. Instead, he made a hard left behind the Capitol Hill Club and headed toward the darkest corner of the alley, from which the view of that trash can was also likely obstructed by one or more cars typically parked between him and what would be his line of sight to that dark corner. This implies POI2 was either on a recon mission to determine the best drop location for the second device, or, as one retired, formerly high-ranking law enforcement officer has theorized, he may have placed an AirTag or other electronic beacon to lead the bomber to the most advantageous location to deposit the bomb. Near the end of my second meeting with POI2, he shared with me several photos of “numbers” he took in that alley. He shared the “time and location” data from those original photos on his iPhone. He also gave me screenshots from his phone’s call history of the exact moment the two FBI agents phoned him for both interviews on January 19, 2021. He was very earnest, forthcoming, and eager to answer all my questions. (Photo examples in comments below.) As a person, I like POI2. We could be friends. But either he or the FBI is lying about what happened in that dark corner behind the Capitol Hill Club. (Maybe both?) Just as POI2 and I were about to say goodbye and shake hands, I opened my phone to show him one photo. It was the shot I took of the two side-by-side doors at the condo complex in Falls Church, VA. The door on the left was the home of his lifelong acquaintance, POI3. The door on the right was Shauni Kerkhoff's January 6 residence. I asked him: “Can you make this math work for me?” He replied: “No, man. That’s so weird.” We have stayed in contact and spoken many times since those two days in December. ⬇️

A THREAD 1/2 The secessionist narrative that Somaliland was a state in 1960 is false — the historical record is clear. ———————————————— One of the most widely propagated yet concocted narratives promoted by secessionists in northern Somalia is the claim that two sovereign states— Somalia and Somaliland — were created in 1960, and that one of them was later “lost” or “given away.” This is false. Completely false. The historical record shows—clearly, repeatedly, and contemporaneously—that only one state was intended, negotiated, and established, and that state was the Somali Republic. From Hargeisa to Mogadishu, from London to New York (including the UN), the destination was stated consistently and explicitly: the creation of the Somali Republic on 1 July 1960. More importantly, the people and leaders of northern Somalia were active architects of the Somali Republic. Crucially, they neither intended nor worked toward the creation of a separate Somaliland state— despite the persistent misinformation now circulated by secessionist actors. So pervasive has this disinformation become that, only days ago, even unionist politicians in Mogadishu—some of whom hail from northern regions—repeated this claim as fact. What follows are nine hard proofs, drawn from primary documents and contemporaneous practice, demonstrating that no Somaliland state was created or “lost.” In 1960, everyone in Hargeisa was working toward the creation of one state: the Somali Republic. 1) Colonial labels were not states “British Somaliland,” “Italian Somaliland,” “French Somaliland,” the NFD, and the Ogaden were imperial administrative labels—not sovereign national projects. Across Somali territories in the late 1950s, the dominant political current was pan-Somali nationalism and decolonization, not fragmentation. 2) British Somaliland was a protectorate, not a state Under British law, Somaliland existed through protection treaties with Somali clans (1884–1886). Britain’s legal obligations were therefore to communities, not to a pre-existing sovereign “Somaliland state.” This mattered because protection could end only through a transition agreed by those communities—and that transition was explicitly tied to independence followed by union. 3) Northern Somalis worked toward the Somali Republic—amply documented In April 1960, the elected Legislative Council in Hargeisa—the highest political authority under British rule—passed a resolution calling explicitly for independence and unification with Somalia on 1 July 1960. This is recorded in Hansard. There is no ambiguity. 4) The April 1960 Joint Communiqué removes all doubt Between 16–22 April 1960, senior Somaliland legislators traveled to Mogadishu and issued a Joint Communiqué with their southern counterparts calling for the creation of a republic on 1 July 1960. It states: “The Territories of Somalia and the Somaliland Protectorate shall be united on July 1st, 1960… The new Somali Republic will be a unitary, democratic and parliamentary State.” It further ordered the merger of the two legislatures into one National Assembly, the election of one President, the formation of one government, the designation of Mogadishu as the capital, and the creation of one national army. This is not the language of two states; it is the blueprint of one republic. 5) London understood the objective was union, not separation In the UK Parliament, the Prime Minister and the Colonial Secretary stated plainly that independence would be granted to the protected tribes of northern Somalia so that union could lawfully take place, acting on the “declared wishes” of Somaliland’s elected leaders. Somaliland’s “independence” was a legal bridge—not the destination. 6) Contemporary media reported union On 6 May 1960, The New York Times reported that Britain would grant independence to Somaliland “so that it could unite with Somalia.” No contemporary account described this as the birth of a separate enduring state.

When medics become targets: Ukrainian strikes on Russian rescue workers and the silence of western media Since Russia began its SMO in 2022, Western media have repeatedly accused Russia of an “unprovoked invasion” and of “war crimes”. Honest observers, however, state that Russia has acted with considerable restraint in Ukraine—targeting military and logistics sites, not civilians—and remind of Ukraine's eight years of warring on the civilians in the Donbass prior to the commencement of the SMO in 2022. Further, they emphasize that once again, in December 2021, Russia made clear its concerns in hopes of a diplomatic solution. These were, again, steadily ignored by Western governments and media. Likewise ignored is Ukraine's deliberate, shelling and drone striking of medical and rescue personnel. Under international law, medical and rescue personnel and their vehicles are protected and must not be targeted. Ukraine and its ally Israel are guilty of routinely, deliberately, targeting medics and other rescuers, maiming and killing them. These are war crimes, but the West remains mute, instead concocting stories of “Russian war crimes” in the face of Ukraine's very real ones. In September 2019, when I first visited the Donbass, in a village in the Gorlovka region I met an elderly resident of living alone in a home falling apart from previous Ukrainian shelling. During our conversation she said that ambulances wouldn't be able to reach her if she was injured by the shelling, it would be too dangerous for them to try. I was likewise told by Zaitsevo administration that ambulances could not reach the villagers. “The paramedics don’t go farther than this building; it’s too dangerous. If somebody needs medical care near the front lines, someone has to go in their own car and take them to a point where medics can then take them to Gorlovka. The soldiers also help civilians who are injured. A woman died due to huge blood loss because no one could reach her house to take her away in time. She was injured in the shelling and bled to death.” This is one sordid reality for civilians living in villages heavily bombarded by Ukraine. But the medics heroically do go to potentially dangerous areas to rescue civilians, and they have for years been deliberated targeted by Ukrainian forces when doing so. In 2022, I interviewed numerous medics and Emergency Services workers in Donetsk regions, and subsequently made a short video about Ukraine's deliberate targeting of rescue personnel. Speaking with Emergency Services in Donetsk's Kievsky district, for the two hours I was there we came under heavy Ukrainian shelling. The windows of the building had already been blown out and were sand-bagged to attempt to protect the workers. The Chief of the centre, Andrey Levchenko, told me how five days prior his office had been impacted with shrapnel from the shelling. He thankfully had just stepped of his office before the blast and was not injured or killed. The day prior to my visit, when out on a call to rescue civilians trapped in a building set ablaze by Ukrainian shelling, rescuers were shelled, resulting in one of them being hospitalized in critical condition. The survivors told me that, prior to the shelling, they saw a drone overhead, which makes it credible to believe that Ukraine deliberately targeted the rescuers. Levchenko told me that Ukraine routinely double and triple strikes rescuers. “As soon as we go out to help people the shelling resumes.” The double or triple strike tactic often means that rescuers who have come to help those injured in the first strike are then themselves targeted, depriving civilians in need of urgent medical assistance as a result. I also spoke with Sergei Neka, Director of the Department of Fire and Rescue Forces of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. He reiterated what I'd been told. “Our units arrive at the scene of the accident and Ukraine begins to shell it. A lot of equipment has been damaged and destroyed.” Two female medics I interviewed told me coming under repeated Ukrainian shelling is normal. They spoke of their fear, bu said, “How about the patients? They're hurt and even more scared, they're waiting for our help. If I don't help, who will help if everyone runs away?” By September 2022, Ukrainian forces targeted and killed 19 Donbass rescuers, injuring over 50 more. Ukraine continues killing medics Fast forward to the present. Following are just some of Ukraine's more recent attacks on medics and other rescue workers. On August 11, a Ukrainian drone targeted an ambulance in Gorlovka, killing two medics and seriously injuring the driver. In May, a Ukrainian drone strike killed two Emergency workers who had come to the site of a first drone strike in Lugansk. In an Israeli-style second strike, Ukraine targeted the rescuers deliberately after the arrived at the scene. In March, Russian Emergencies Ministry employees came to extinguish a car on fire following a Ukrainian drone strike in Gorlovka. A Ukrainian drone targeted them, injuring the deputy head of the firefighting service and damaging a fire truck. There are tragically many more such instances which I could list. However, the point is that it is beyond clear that Ukraine's shelling and drone targeting of Russian medics, firefighters and other rescuers has been a deliberate policy since before 2022. It is also clear that Western concern for medics allegedly targeted elsewhere (think the fake rescuers of the al-Qaeda aligned White Helmets in Syria during the global war on Syria) will never extend to any concern for Russian rescuers actually targeted by Ukraine.

TOPIC #118: ACKNOWLEDGEMENT TO GCV AMBASSADORS AND SPECIAL ENVOYS Conclusion of the Pioneer’s Handbook ( updater version) 2025 marks an extraordinary and historic moment in our shared journey for Pi Network and Global GCV Movement. They finally "married " together. From this moment forward, we officially enter a new chapter that I proudly name: The GCV Economy Era With this milestone, the Pioneer’s Handbook reaches its conclusion. This is my 118th article. In Chinese culture, 118 symbolizes prosperity and good fortune—a perfect symbol for closing one historic chapter and opening another. These final words are dedicated to all pioneers, merchants, ambassadors, envoys, and warriors whose unity, discipline, and perseverance made the GCV dream a reality. --- 1. The Origin of GCV — A Seed Planted in China The GCV Movement began in China, nurtured by pioneers with vision, courage, and deep study. In February 2022, Mr. Rong Zhang Bao launched the Pi Network International Seminar, calling pioneers to study Pi deeply, understand its mission, and define its economic value. After months of collective research and surveys, Chinese pioneers established the foundational consensus value: $314,159. In May 2022, Mr. Bao Rong Zhang and I, together with Nigerian pioneer Mr. Woody, launched three international Twitter Space conferences. Mr. Woody's influence helped introduce GCV to tens of thousands of pioneers worldwide, marking the true beginning of GCV's international journey. I would like to acknowledge Mr. Rong Zhang Bao, former community leader in China, as the founder of GCV, Mr. Woody Lightyear, former community leader in Nigeria, as a key supporter of GCV at early stage Their contributions during the early stages of GCV in 2022 were essential. The early path, however, was not easy. GCV faced misunderstandings, attacks, misinformation, and division. My speeches were removed from groups. Leaders became confused or misled. Some pioneers, lacking education, turned toward black markets. At that point, I made a deliberate decision: I stepped back from global expansion and devoted one full year exclusively to the China community. During that year, Chinese merchants contributed nearly USD 10 million worth of products through GCV barter. However, because pioneers had no Pi available in their wallets, many transactions relied on contracts without Pi or fiat settlement. This created no usable GCV data, and eventually many merchants—unable to sustain operations—left the movement. From this experience, one truth became clear: > Sustainability is essential. Passion alone is not enough. We must be rational, prepared, and educated. To succeed, we must: Use partial Pi + partial fiat Build education before expansion Protect merchants as carefully as pioneers If pioneers only demand from merchants, the economy cannot survive. If merchants collapse, GCV collapses. This realization is why I began writing the Pioneer’s Handbook—to align pioneers and merchants under one sustainable economic vision. --- 2. Expanding Beyond Borders — The Global Rise of GCV By 2023, it became clear that China alone could not generate sufficient global GCV data. GCV had to rise worldwide. One by one, visionary leaders emerged: Ms. Lumari Ms. Nonny Mr. JoJo Mr. M. Rad Mr. Olivier Mr. Iyanda Mr. Patrick Mr. Jason …and many others. Strong movements followed across the Philippines, Indonesia, Africa, the Arab Region, Malaysia, Taiwan (China), Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, South Korea, and throughout Africa and the Middle East. Many pioneers who doubted GCV did so not out of malice—but from lack of study or misunderstanding of economic authority. Let it be clear: PCT manages technology Pioneers manage the economy GCV is our responsibility and our consensus authority Those who studied deeply developed 100% trust and confidence. --- 3. Deep Gratitude to the International GCV Leadership Although it is impossible to name everyone, the following leaders played defining roles in shaping global GCV success. International GCV Leadership • Ms. Lumari Industry Alliance Chair (Global), Global GCV CT Executive Director, Committee Chair, Global GCV Ambassador, Head of Philippines GCV Ambassadors The heart and engine of global operations. Her discipline, compassion, and execution transformed vision into daily action and became a pillar of global success. • Mr. JoJo Industry Alliance Vice Chair (Global), Global GCV CT Executive Director Assistant, Committee Chair Assistant, Global GCV Ambassador He completed the translation and editing of all 106 Pioneer’s Handbook articles across 41 languages, making global education possible. His strategic insights strengthened both the GCV system and the Industry Alliance framework. • Mr. Rad Vice Executive Director, GCV Symbol Designer, Global GCV Ambassador Working under extremely difficult conditions in Iran, he never stopped designing certificates, logos, and charter contributions that define GCV’s global identity. • Ms. Nonny Padja Eagle Woman Vice Chair of Global GCV CT Committee, Training Director, Head of Indonesia GCV Ambassadors My steadfast partner for over two years, leading education, data creation, and ecosystem growth across Indonesia. • Mr. Jason Wong Global GCV CT Education Director, Global GCV Ambassador A voice of wisdom whose articles on morality, mindset, and stability helped pioneers deeply understand GCV education. Additional Global GCV CT Contributors Inspector Mr. Soni Vaji (France) Mr. Samer Sioury (Arab Region Industry Alliance Chair) Mr. Yohanes Helebak (Group Administrator Director) Mr. Ramesh Shetty (Vice Education Director) Mr. Iyanda Cherif Abiola (Publicity Director) --- 4.
