[MBC News America] Special segment covering Taehyungโ€™s first pitch at Dodgers! ๐Ÿ‘ค The Dodger Stadium, usually filled with waves of blue, was dyed purple today. Korean flags and cheering banners in Korean stood out all around. These are fans waiting for BTS V to throw the ceremonial first pitch. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐ŸปIโ€™m now here at the LA Dodger Stadium, where BTSโ€™s V will soon take the mound. Already, not only Dodgers fans but also BTSโ€™s ARMY have gathered, and the atmosphere is very heated. ๐ŸฏFighting! Iโ€™ll do my best. ๐Ÿ’œ Iโ€™m only here for Taehyung honestly. Iโ€™ll stay for the game but Iโ€™m only here for Taehyung. It was very spur of the moment. We had no idea that this was happening until they posted about it. So weโ€™re all just really excited When V appeared on the field to BTS music as the ceremonial pitcher for todayโ€™s game between the LA Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds, the stadium instantly turned into a concert venue as thunderous cheers erupted. ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธfor tonightโ€™s ceremonial first pitch, doing the honors is V! South Korean singer-songwriter and 5 time Grammy nominated group BTS Wearing a Dodgers uniform with the number 7, referencing BTSโ€™s iconic number, V entered the mound, waving in response to the chants of the fans. Even his light warm-up movements drew loud cheers, and the energy of the crowd reached its peak. After receiving the mound from pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, he delivered a windup left-handed throw. ๐Ÿ’œitโ€™s a big deal ๐Ÿ’œWe love you and proud of you. We love you. Weโ€™re so proud of you. Doing great love you. Keep growing. Keep doing what you love! Especially noteworthy was the pre-game meeting between V and Shohei Ohtani, shared on social media. The encounter of two stars representing K-pop and Major League Baseball was recorded as a truly symbolic moment. Vโ€™s ceremonial pitch, as a global star, became a massive sensation not only across the U.S. but also worldwide. After the Dodgers announced his appearance, ticket sales for the game increased fivefold overnight, and ticketing sites even temporarily crashed due to overwhelming demand. ๐Ÿ’œ The ticket prices were low but day by day they kept going higher and higher. As soon as word got out that V was coming the prices skyrocketed. Thatโ€™s how many fans V has. He is all over the world. Global fans also organized unprecedented events. At LAโ€™s major highway junctions, the 710 and 5 Freeways, support videos for V were displayed on billboards. Inside Dodger Stadium, ribbon boards were filled with messages from fans around the world. Chinese fan clubs prepared a giant air banner project, flying an airplane with cheering messages for V above the stadium. On the 27th, soccer player Son Heung-min, who recently transferred to LAFC, will also throw the ceremonial pitch, raising fansโ€™ anticipation once again. This has been Lee Yojung for MBC News. ๐Ÿ”— ACE V ON THE MOUND PITCHER V AT DODGER STADIUM TAEHYUNG TAEHYUNG #VCeremonialFirstPitch #TaehyungxMLB

DIEGO MARADONA: NAPOLI vs AC MILAN 1987 (2-1) Moments transcends everything in sport and nothing defines that more than football especially the good ones. Welcome to 'Throwback Thursday' where we take a look at a moment in time, and this week, we look at the 1986/87 Serie A season and a goal that Napoli fans will remember with a starry gaze. Itโ€™s the 26th of April 1987 and the Stadio San Paolo is roaring. Theyโ€™ve been having the time of their lives over the last three odd years but this season has been something else altogether. There are only three, four if you include this one, games left in the league season and the Partonopei sit atop the Serie A table. Theyโ€™ve already managed to score a goal and with minutes left for half-time, another one could prove to be the game for the hosts. Thatโ€™s why the stadium is roaring, trying to cheer on their side because even this early in the game they knew that a second goal would not just be a big thing but put the pressure on Juventus. This was after all a title race and the side from Naples were in the lead at the moment but a win, against AC Milan, would all but clinch a historic league title. Their first ever in the history of Napoli and their first since they won the 1976/76 Coppa Italia, only their second top-flight trophy. the Napoli-Milan scoreboard (26 April 1987, 27th matchday): GOALS: 33'pt Carnevale (N), 43'pt Maradona (N), 34'st Virdis (M) NAPLES: Garella, Bruscolotti (28'st Sola), Ferrara, Bagni, Ferrario, Renica, Carnevale, De Napoli, Giordano (37'st Cappellolli), Maradona, Romano F.

My experience as a Defenders fan going to STL America's Center & The Dome for an away game. This was a solo trip, did not bring my family on this one. The St. Louis Battlehawks home games truly are one of the special environments for United Football League. Iโ€™ve been to 4 AWAY games for DC Defenders over the last 12 months and the environment for this one was fired up! They definitely should NOT move STL to a soccer stadium if they keep showing out like they did yesterday. I got to my hotel at 1AM on game day after a late flight from the west coast. I woke up 6 hours later, walked towards the stadium and randomly caught the STL player walk-ins. Then, I walked over to the tailgate and met up with The Bottom Line and enjoyed some mimosas and breakfast burritos with Ed Ploeger and his gang. Thanks for the hospitality! I was able to get him a signed Sam Kidd jersey as a thanks for all he does for the UFL community! After the tailgate, got in for gate drop at 0930, and went straight down to the field. I was able to say hi to a few players and talk with Steven McCrane as his son was nailing 50+ yard field goals with ease. Chatted up and made peace with a few STL fans around me. Once the game started, they had the place LOUD, and my watch kept alerting me that my hearing was getting damaged ๐Ÿคฃ . Being there for the first ever 4 point field goal by Matt McCrane made the travel worth it. After the home fans had a few rounds of beers, the heckling began (which was expected), but I had to pop about 6 beach balls/๐ŸŽˆ as I became the ๐ŸŽฏ for drunk fans as the only DC fan in the section. I tossed the balls back a few times until I immediately got hit with about 3 balls in a row. So that part was a bit of a let down, as I was just trying to enjoy a game. The halftime show was great. Overall, the game experience itself left something to be desired with the penalties and getting harassed by fans who were clearly recording trying to get rage bait engagement on ๐ŸŽฅ. Probably wonโ€™t be going back to a STL game again, but Iโ€™m glad got to check it out! Pregame/Tailgate: 5/5 Halftime: 5/5 Game experience: 3/5 Getting to/from stadium: 5/5

I travelled to Valderrama last week fully expecting to write LIV Golfโ€™s obituary. There were rumours of essential vendors pulling the plug, and from the outside, it appeared as though the uncertainty had escalated to near fatal levels. But when I arrived on pro am day, it was the same as it ever was. The range was bustling with high profile business leaders anxiously waiting to tackle Valderramaโ€™s challenge. And players were preparing for another $30 million tournament. However, under the surface, itโ€™s still far from โ€œbusiness as usual.โ€ The fate of LIV Golf was described to me by a senior player as โ€œincredibly simple. We need funding. If we donโ€™t get it, itโ€™s over. If we do, then we get to work on building the future.โ€ That certainly is a simple way of looking at it. But trying to piece together how a cash strapped sports league can continue when itโ€™s currently owned by a sovereign wealth fund thatโ€™s cut the billions of dollars in investment is not that easy. The future is being described by executives as โ€œLIV Golf 2.0,โ€ and they are fortunate enough that the lavish spending of the previous leadership means they already have a talent pool of stars to draw large crowds around the globe, attracting 6 figure attendances twice this year. They also have the infrastructure and the IP. Now they just need someone to invest. This leaves a big question. What does the PIF want in return? Nobody within the league is sure of the answer, but thereโ€™s likely just 2 options. The PIF either take pennies on the dollar for selling ownership, or they bankrupt the organisation and risk a high profile PR disaster that comes with voiding so many massive contracts. Itโ€™s difficult to see them risking bankruptcy. Especially when they could have pulled the plug in Mexico City and have committed to showcasing events until the end of the season. So itโ€™s more likely they just walk away, exonerating themselves of the extensive burden to creditors. This leaves another big question. Who would take on a business that has been haemorrhaging cash every quarter for 4 years? While on a range walk ahead of the pro am day, I asked this question 2 major players in the business industry. Both of them suggested private equity firms are always looking for opportunities to take on distressed assets they can purchase for virtually nothing. โ€œSomeone will see value and believe they can turn it around. They always do. Live sport is hot right now.โ€ Iโ€™m not in private equity, but itโ€™s not too hard to see how a global sports league thatโ€™s had billions of dollars poured in from the start would be an attractive proposition if offered for a discounted $250-350 million investment. Especially when one of the biggest stars in the sport, Bryson DeChambeau, is fully committed and leading the charge. Scott Oโ€™Neil, Chris Heck and the other executives were hired to turn the business around and stop the cash burn. They began working on LIV Golf 2.0 during the 2025 off season, but with the PIF pulling funding, thatโ€™s now just on a greatly accelerated timeline. Once LIV Golf Andalucia finishes, the league faces a 7 week break in their schedule where executives will be hitting the market in an attempt to secure investment. They appear bullish on how it will go, but it wonโ€™t be an easy task. With PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp set to speak after a board meeting at the Travelers Championship, and several LIV Golf players competing in events on other tours, there is bound to plenty of speculation. The next 7 weeks are probably going to be the most important in the history of LIV Golf.

#Bangladesh #AwamiLeague is not a banned organization. It is the oldest and largest political party in the country. This party led the nation to independence. It has the right to hold peaceful political programmes not only under the #constitution but also under int'l #humanrights laws, including the #UDHR and the #ICCPR. Additionally, no โ€œstate of emergencyโ€ currently prevails in Bangladesh. Therefore, activists of the party were fully within their constitutional, democratic, and legal rights to organize a peaceful procession to commemorate โ€œMartyr #NurHossain Dayโ€. The unelected interim regime led by Dr. #Yunus is happy to allow all other parties and orgs to hold political programmes almost on a daily basis, incl. #BNP, #Jamaat, and the SAD Movement. It is also providing full assistance to #Islamist orgs like #HefazateIslam and Islami Andolon in organizing programmes. Their issue only seems to be with the Awami League and its allies. The very definition of #discrimination. Pursuant to that policy, the Yunus regime publicly announced their intention to obstruct the AL from exercising its right to organise a peaceful procession on Nov 10. The unequivocal intentions were expressed by the so-called Chief Adviser of the Government of Bangladeshโ€™s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam (1) and Adviser Asif Mahmud (2). Both warned of strict action of law enforcement agencies against AL. (1) (2) To obstruct a legitimate and peaceful political programme by a legitimate political party, the regime deployed the police, the army and an unprecedented 191 platoons of border guards (3). The street-enforcers of Yunusโ€™ regime, the SAD, also announced a counter political programme at the same venue just hours before where AL activists were supposed to congregate for the procession, with a clear intent to provoke a confrontation (4). The fact that the SAD Movement had violent intentions is clear from social media posts of people associated with the platform (5). (3) (4) (5) Screenshots & Video clip From the morning of Nov 10, SAD-backed thugs, with full support from BNP and Jamaat armed cadres, took positions in various key points of #Dhaka to violently obstruct AL activists and supporters from reaching the venue. They beat up around 10 people in, or around, the Gulistan area in Dhaka, including two #women. At least 43 activists and supporters of the party were arrested from Motijheel, Dilkusha, and Paltan areas (6). People were beaten up, including senior citizens and women, and handed over to the police simply for chanting the slogan โ€œ#JoyBanglaโ€, or even on mere suspicions of being an AL supporter (7). SAD-linked students, BNP-Jamaat cadres, and the police even checked peopleโ€™s mobile phones on Nov 10 (8) and the night before (9) to โ€œidentifyโ€ AL supporters and activists. (6) (7) (8) (9) AL activists celebrating the re-election of Donald J. Trump and planning to join the procession with placards and posters were also targeted specifically. The night before Nov 10, joint forces conducted raids in various areas of #Dhaka and arrested at least 10 supporters with Trump placards and U.S. flags (10). There is nothing in the law of Bangladesh which bars celebrating the election win of another countryโ€™s leader. In fact, the Yunus regime was happy to allow campaign rallies in support of Kamala Harris just a few days back (11). (10) (11) By acting as they did, the Yunus regime committed multiple violations of the constitutional and human rights of AL activists and supporters, namely, their rights to freedom of movement, expression, association, and privacy. The unelected and unconstitutional #Yunus regime has miserably failed in its test of respecting democratic values too.

Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) by hand โœ๏ธ ~ 9 steps walkthrough below The Gen in GenAI came from this landmark paper by Ian Goodfellow et al., 12 years ago. The paper showed that a neural network can not only classify but also turn upside down to generate realistic looking images. The secret? We pit two of them against each other: a Generator turns noise into fake data, and a Discriminator learns to tell fake from real, pushing the Generator to keep doing better. One runs upside down, the other right way up. I drew and calculated one entirely by hand. Goal: generate realistic 4D data out of 2D noise, filling in every cell yourself. = 1. Given = Four noise vectors in 2D, and four real data vectors in 4D. = 2. Generator, first layer = Let us multiply the noise by weights and biases to get new features. = 3. ReLU = We apply the activation, and -1 and -2 are crossed out and set to 0. = 4. Generator, second layer = Let us multiply again. ReLU applies here too, but every value is already positive, so nothing changes. What comes out is the fake data F, made by a two-layer generator out of nothing but noise. = 5. Discriminator, first layer = We feed it both, the four fakes and the four real vectors, through the same weights. It never learns which is which from the layout, only from the numbers. = 6. Discriminator, second layer = Let us reduce each data vector to a single feature Z. Eight vectors in, eight numbers out. = 7. Sigmoid = We turn each Z into a probability Y. A 1 means the discriminator is certain the data is real, a 0 means certain it is fake. = 8. Training the Discriminator = Let us take the gradients as Y minus YD, where YD is what the discriminator should have said: 0 for the four fakes, 1 for the four real. Why so simple? Because pairing sigmoid with binary cross entropy loss makes the math collapse to exactly this subtraction. Its loss uses both halves of the page. = 9. Training the Generator = We do it again, as Y minus YG, and YG is [1, 1, 1, 1]: the generator wants the discriminator to call every fake real. Same predictions, different target, opposite goal. Its loss uses only the fakes. The outputs: Fake data F = [1, 2, 3, 1], [1, 1, 2, 1], [2, 2, 4, 2], [1, 0, 1, 1] Predictions on fakes = [.7, .5, .9, .3] Predictions on real = [.7, .9, .9, 1] Discriminator gradients = [.7, .5, .9, .3] and [-.3, -.1, -.1, 0] Generator gradients = [-.3, -.5, -.1, -.7] The takeaway: the adversarial part is one subtraction done twice. The same eight predictions, scored against two opposite targets, send one set of gradients back through the blue weights and another back through the green ones. ๐Ÿ’พ Save this post!

"The days of Noah" Life in the end times is compared by the Lord Jesus to the days of Noah. In His sermon on the last things, He foretells what will happen in the future, just before His return. The question is why the Lord Jesus compares that period to the days of Noah. And whether we are already living in them. Let us first consider what it says: "For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be" (Matthew 24:38-39). In Luke 17, the Lord Jesus also compares those days to the days of Lot: "They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building" (verse 18). You might rightly wonder what's wrong with this, because these aren't sinful things. They are normal necessities of life. The point is that people in the end times are only preoccupied with these things. As a result, they forget and deny the existence of the Lord God. Are we living in the days of Noah? Self-centered behavior and living for yourself instead of for God is comparable today to "the days of Noah" before the flood. We find several texts on this subject in the Bible. Paul says about "the last days" in 2 Timothy 3: "For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God" (verses 2-4, KJV). There is a spiritual battle going on, and unfortunately, many Christians are unaware of it. Because of this, many people barely have time to read the Bible and pray. The result is worldliness, spiritual immaturity, and emptiness. Due to worries, stress, and the hustle and bustle of the world, some can barely cope with life. 1 Peter 5 states: "Be sober and vigilant. Your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him steadfastly in the faith..." (verses 8-9). Characteristic of the days of Noah was that the earth was also filled with violence (Genesis 6:11). Isn't that also a sign of the times? Isn't the Middle East on fire? And aren't we seeing a growing fear of terrorist attacks worldwide? The Great Tribulation It's important to understand that Matthew 24 isn't about the grace period of the Church. There, we read about the Great Tribulation during the Last Week (Daniel 9:27). By then, the Church will already have been raptured (Revelation 4:1). This isn't an escape theory, but a promise from the Word, because the Church is not destined for wrath (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 5:9). Wrath has been taken away by the blood of the Lamb. Does Matthew 24 have anything to say to us then? Absolutely! Jesus' sermon on the end times is relevant, for example, when it addresses popular uprisings and the growing fear of terrorism. Furthermore, we see a sharp increase in Christian persecution, lawlessness, wars, infectious diseases, and natural disasters. The Lord also warns against false prophets and false Christs. Everything in Jesus' end-time sermon makes it clear that it is primarily addressed to Israel. Therefore, the return of the Jews must be seen as a great sign and warning that Christ's return is near. In His sermon, we also read about the third temple and the abomination of desolation, during the time of the Antichrist. We also see the fulfillment of these coming ever closer. For the world is being prepared for the restored Roman Empire and the coming of a strong spiritual political leader (2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:8). When we discern these things, we begin to understand why the prophetic Word of God is so important. It gives us a clear light and insight into world events (2 Peter 1:19). โฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธโฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ BREAKING | If this is confirmed, we can say that the US has lost the war with Iran. The Iranian news agency Mehr, citing the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has published all 14 clauses of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the US: 1. Permanent and immediate cessation of war on all fronts, including Lebanon. 2. The US commitment to non-interference in Iran's internal affairs and respect for the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran. 3. Complete lifting of the naval blockade within 30 days. 4. The US commitment to withdraw its forces from around Iran. 5. Reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian arrangements. 6. Suspension of sanctions on the sale of oil, petrochemical products, and derivatives, and full access of Iran to its financial resources. 7. The necessity for the US and its allies to present reconstruction plans for Iran amounting to at least 300 billion dollars. 8. 60 days of negotiations to reach a final agreement based on nuclear issues and the complete lifting of primary, secondary, US sanctions, and UN Security Council and IAEA Board of Governors resolutions. 9. Reiteration of Iran's commitment under the NPT treaty not to produce nuclear weapons. 10. During the negotiation period, the US has committed not to add forces in the region and not to impose new sanctions. 11. Release of 24 billion dollars of Iran's blocked funds during the 60-day final negotiation period. Half of this amount must be made available to Iran before the start of negotiations. 12. Formation of a supervisory mechanism to implement the agreement. 13. The final agreement will be approved by a UN Security Council resolution. 14. Final negotiations will not begin before the release of half of Iran's blocked funds, suspension of Iran's oil sanctions, and lifting of the naval blockade, and the final agreement will only cover the fate of enriched materials and enrichment, lifting of sanctions, and Iran's economic reconstruction plan. Discussions about Iran's missile program and support for resistance groups are definitively removed from the agenda. As a reminder, the official signing of the memorandum is scheduled for June 19 in Geneva. See the latest updates with us: Visioner

ALAN YENTOBโ€™S CRACKED ACTOR FILM IS FIFTY TODAY โ€œIโ€™m just the space cadet...heโ€™s the commanderโ€ฆโ€ * Around this time on the evening of Sunday 26th January 1975, Bowie fans were recovering from the 10:15pm broadcast of Alan Yentob's fifty-minute BBC 1 Cracked Actor documentary, which was part of the Omnibus series. Fifty years later it's almost impossible to calculate just how important that screening was to Bowie-starved fans in the UK. In America, not only did followers of the man and his music have the Diamond Dogs/Philly Dogs tours, but they also enjoyed TV broadcasts of The 1980 Floor Show, Ziggy Stardust The Motion Picture and The Dick Cavett Show. After Bowieโ€™s 70s TOTPs appearances and his first proper television interview on Russell Harty Plus in January 1973, there had been little to sate the appetite of the hungry Bowie fan on UK television. So Cracked Actor came as a very welcome oasis in an otherwise dry spell of Bowie TV. Filmed in California and Philadelphia during the legendary Diamond Dogs Tour of 1974, it captured Bowie at a transitional stage in his life, then again, werenโ€™t they all? The BBC had unique access to the man on and off stage, in the recording studio and while travelling. This gave fans a rare glimpse of the private Bowie and it made for compelling viewing. As with the aforementioned UK TV appearances, Cracked Actor had a profound effect on fans. It was their first real glimpse of the incredible live presentations that never reached the UK and despite the all-access nature of the documentary, it only added to the Bowie mystique. Cracked Actor impressed some fans enough to write a book about it. Check out The Fly In The Milk by Susan Compo and Mark Wardel. Youโ€™ll recognise the title as a reference to one of the lines from the back of the limo in the film. Like much of the dialogue from The Man Who Fell To Earth the following year (coincidentally it was Cracked Actor that inspired Nicolas Roeg to approach Bowie for the film), many fans would learn parrot-fashion the majority of the one-liners that Bowie uttered throughout: โ€œBleedinโ€™ wax museum in the middle of the desert...you'd think it would meltโ€ and โ€œI never wanted to be a rock โ€˜nโ€™ roll star. Honest guv, I wasnโ€˜t even there. But I was, you see, I was there.โ€ And thank goodness he was there! In the unlikely event youโ€™ve not seen this remarkable film yet, itโ€™s easy to find online. Also, From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free has managed to edit together a full-length version of Cracked Actor from it for your enjoyment. Watch it here: David Bowie | Cracked Actor | Live at the Universal Amphitheatre | 5 September 1974 * Timeless quotation by Hannah Breschard from the film. #BowieCrackedActor #BowieCrackedActorLive1974 #NachoBowie

๐Ÿ›‘IMPRESSIVE- Today the Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum spoke in front of more of 350,000 Mexicans. The incredible support showed since early in the morning. A pretty shocking speech, tackling the questions that everyone in the world were wondering about her government. These are a few pointers, which I was present to hear: 1 . In a patriotic speech, she said we will always put the respect of our country in our nation over everything. 2. We accomplish a great amount of respect between the President of the United States and our government to hold on the tariffs all the way to 2 April. 3. Their will be no reciprocal tariff, because we are not going to tariff the United States. 4. Always with the dialogue of respect we are going to accomplish a greater relationship with our neighbor. 5. We are neighbors. It is our responsibility to collaborate with each other and help each other, the time is now. 6. Our government will not be force to no foreign hegemony 7 . I am convinced that we are fighting fentanyl from January to now we have decreased more than 40% in our territory. 8. We will collaborate with the United States to crack down the fentanyl trafficking, because we are concerned of the youth of that great nation. 9. The government of the United States of America has acknowledge that they have huge gun trafficking problem to our country of Mexico, to feed the cartel. 10. We will embrace humanity with our migrant brothers we will enforce the law, but also we will respect the human right. That is why the illegal flow it has decreased to the United States. 11. We believe that the solution for the Migration it is to grow the internal economical strength in their own countries, so they will not migrate. We need to help them grow. 12. We not only want fentanyl to disappear from our country, but we want fentanyl to disappear from the world. As a Mexican citizen, I was pretty shock of the speech, but I was content, very pleased to hear that the Mexican president has the courage to negotiate with the greatest leader, like the United States of America, but also to assure that they are willing to do everything to tackle and destroy The trafficking of fentanyl I will be posting aerial video, this massive gathering later on today.

[trans JPN/ENG] Post-match interview with Yuki Ishikawa for BS-TBS. -First of all, since this was the first match, there may have been different atmospheres, but what do you think about the fact that you won this first match in straight sets? Yuki: Well, as a win, I think it's fantastic that we managed to win 3-0, so I consider that positive. As for the content, there are still some things that aren't quite right, and also, I think there were too many aces on return today, so I think that's something we need to improve in the future. Masa: It's quite unusual for Ishikawa to join the Nation League in the first round and play, so what are your thoughts or feelings about it? Yuki: It's been a while since I joined the team in the first round, and even though the time to practice has been short, I'm happy to be able to play matches right from the first round like this. I haven't had many opportunities to play matches with my club this season, so I was looking forward to it. However, my performance today was only good in the first set, and then it dropped off a bit after that, so I hope to improve in matches and throughout the Nation League. Masa: You mentioned your performance earlier, but since today was the first match, were there any problems you noticed in this first match? Yuki: Yes, in addition to what I said before, I think we did a lot of trial and error. Our reception, so I think it's something we need to improve on. Even so, we managed not to lose a set, and although we were helped by our opponents' mistakes, I think we deserve credit for winning 3-0. -Captain, the next match is against Poland. Could you tell us about your aspirations for that match? Yuki: Poland is very tall and has many young players on the rise, so we'll keep that in mind, and we've identified areas where we can improve further compared to today. We'll approach the match against Poland by working on those aspects.

One of Belgiumโ€™s bravest politicians, Filip Dewinter: "If you have majorities of Islamic believers in a city, or in a country, it's over and out for the democracy - because Islam is anti-democratic - Islam is a theocracy, committed to Allah, committed to their own religion, but not committed to democracy. So the real danger of our democracy is Islam, not right-wing, conservative, patriotic parties. We are defending democracy against the threat of Islam, not the other way around." See the full interview here: Remember: "Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component is a beard for all the other components. Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their so-called "religious rights." When politically correct and culturally diverse societies agree to "the reasonable" Muslim demands for their "religious rights," they also get the other components under the table. Here's how it works... As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness. At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal food (clean by Islamic standards - it is actually nothing more than a Sharia money-making scheme to support jihad ), thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply. At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world. When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris -- car-burnings, riots). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Mohammed cartoons, Quran burnings). After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting and violence, jihad militia formations, killings, and church, synagogue, and temple burnings will occur often, etc. At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide. 100% will usher in the peace of "Dar-es-Salaam" -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood lust, Islamic supremacists then start killing each other for a variety of reasons. "Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world. And all of us against the infidel. -- Leon Uris, "The Haj" It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate. (Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.) So, what percentage do you think your country is at? Unfortunately, each of your countries welcomes illegal migrants, so none of us truly know the sheer numbers of Jihadis in our communities.

Brian Chesky gave the perfect 10 minute hero's journey story a few weeks ago at Config. Founders and CEOs are always looking for great examples of storytelling, speaking, and leadership. This right here is as good as it gets. Why did it work so well? To start with it's 9 minutes and 49 seconds. That's a length that people are familiar and comfortable with as evidenced by Ted Talks ranging from around 10-18 minutes. From there he structured it using the Hero's Journey framework from Joseph Campbell. Ordinary world-call to adventure-mentors-death and rebirth-gifts-return changed. I'm going to do another post soon mapping this all out for you. Today I want to go deeper into other parts of the storytelling that he nailed. To begin with what you'll see is he immediately takes you right into the action. He starts with "Back in 2019" and then transports you even further back in time with "Back to Rhode Island School of Design". This puts you directly in the story. You're seeing it happen. It's a bit like Back to the Future. From there he immediately goes into the Origin Story. The AirBnB origin story is a key part of the larger ongoing story. So he starts there. Chesky knows he needs to set the frame that the audience will analyze the story through so he does what many great speakers do... He uses a rhetorical question. "What if design ran the boardroom?" Boom. That's the big idea. That's the theme of the rest of the talk. From there he gives a bit of a nod to Nancy Duarte's classic framework of What is versus What could be. This is done by putting forth two different worlds that AirBnB (and other companies) can live in. Option 1: Dream world. This world is creative and embraces risk. Option 2: Reality world. This world is corporate and clinical. What he does next speaks to every founder and CEO. He calls out what prevents him from living in the dream world and it's one word. Fear. So as he goes through the story he gets to the moment of transformation. 2020 changed everything. He uses a metaphor to show this near death experience for the company. Not only that but he uses a classic story device of having a dream and seeing the better way forward. It's also a bit of a reference to The Matrix. "I woke up from a 10 yr slumber". And it's there that the mentors give him this lift. Hiroki Asai and Johnny Ives put Chesky back on the path he first set out on. Design led company. The results took AirBnB from breakeven to 4 billion dollars in Free Cash Flow. Now that's one powerful transformation. Transformation is one of the things great stories embrace. To show other people that it's possible. His final takeaway brings everything home. Companies need both the head and the heart. It's a subtle nod to that first big question he asked to set the frame. What would it look like if design ran the boardroom? A company with both head and heart to build something magical.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ท Anwar Ibrahim at the BRICS Business Forum 2025 in Rio In Rio, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim delivered a quiet thunderclap: BRICS 2025 is not merely a summitโ€”itโ€™s a historic turning point in the unfinished struggle for post-colonial justice. He invoked the legacy of Sukarno, Nehru, Zhou Enlai, and Nkrumahโ€”founders of a vision long obstructed by the chokehold of Western institutions. The Non-Aligned Movement and G77 laid the groundwork, but too often the Global South was spoken about, not with. Those days, he suggested, are numbered. What sets todayโ€™s BRICS apart, Anwar argued, is not just political will, but the convergence of state leadership with the energy of the business community, youth, women, and civil society. This is no longer about theory or protestโ€”itโ€™s about implementation, trade, currency sovereignty, and technological parity. He saluted President Lula for defying the scripted roles assigned to Southern leaders and advancing a vision rooted in dignity and independence. That eraโ€”of waiting for permission from Washington or Brusselsโ€”is over. As Anwar put it, โ€œWe cannot continue complaining but not executing.โ€ The message was unmistakable: the Global South is no longer a passive blocโ€”it is a strategic South, ready to engage the world on its own terms, with its own voice, and on equal footing. Full Speech Transcript (Edited lightly for clarity and flow.) It is a historic moment. For those of you who have been following the course of history, we realize that the attempt to save the voice of newly emerging economies and countriesโ€”post-colonialismโ€”was led by Sukarno of Indonesia, Zhou Enlai of China, Jawaharlal Nehru of India, and Nkrumah of Africa. It was a bold attempt to ensure that the voice of conscienceโ€”of those struggling for freedom and justiceโ€”would be heard. It did not achieve much success. But it was a bold attempt. Then we had the Non-Aligned Movement. Preceding that, we had the G77โ€”still not achieving the desired results. Now, I salute you, President Lula, for having the courage to proceed with a clear vision, a clear commitment, to voice the concerns and aspirations of the people, particularly of the Global South. [applause] But why are we particularly encouraged? Because it is no longer an effort purely of political leadership. Political leaders have a role to initiate this reform. But what is spectacular about BRICS is the participation of the business communityโ€”the private sectorโ€”that complements this effort, ensuring that the voice of reason, the voice for justice, is not only heard, but also implemented. Together with political leadership, the business community, women, youth, and the private sectorโ€”we salute you all for this effort. [applause] I see this conference in a more positive light. Weโ€™re not here to complain or lament those who believe in unilateral actionsโ€”tariffs, protectionism. Here, we raise a voice for multilateralism, for collaboration. We work with countries of the South, but still engage with countries in the North as friends in this new alliance. But we want to make sure we speak from a position of strengthโ€”not as weak, ex-colonial countries, but as independent nations with a clear position. And now you seeโ€”from aerospace to AI, from food tech to green technologyโ€”you have this new strength emerging from emerging economies. And I believe this BRICS initiative will succeed in ways that could alter and redirect the course of human history. Thank you very much for this effort. [applause] I come from Malaysia. And in ASEAN, we deliberate these issues. First, we must be cohesive. We must speak as oneโ€”based on multilateral arrangementsโ€”and we must promote the principle of centrality: befriending all, supporting just causes. But it's no longer enough to rely on rhetoric and political platitudes. What we need is concrete action. Thatโ€™s why one of ASEANโ€™s pillars is the business community. We must increase intra-ASEAN trade. And now, we must also increase intra-BRICS trade. We have enormous potential, and we must act on it. Because only with that strength can we negotiateโ€”safely, fairly, and justlyโ€”with all other partners, multilaterally. We must demand reform: a democratic, just, international, and multilateral orderโ€”from the United Nations to the WTO, to the IMF and the World Bank. Again, I support the position taken by President Lulaโ€”one of the few courageous leaders todayโ€”voicing the concerns of those who have long gone unheard. So thank you, my friend. [applause] In ASEAN, weโ€™ve not only worked on enhancing inter-ASEAN trade; weโ€™ve also experimented with financial settlement systems. Weโ€™ve started using local currencies. Of course, weโ€™re not talking about full de-dollarization yetโ€”thatโ€™s still a long road. But weโ€™ve started: Malaysia with Indonesia, Malaysia with Thailand, and now also with China. Even beginning with 10 or 20% makes a difference. We cannot continue to complain without implementing our own plans among ourselves and our friendly neighbors. And I believe that what President Lula saidโ€”and what the chairman of the confederation emphasizedโ€”about ensuring the private sector takes these items seriously will truly make a difference. But let me return to the central point: BRICS in 2025 is not the first attempt. The Bandung Conference in 1955โ€”it began when we were still struggling. No industry. No new technology. No real capacityโ€”except for our shared humanity, our national aspirations, and political leadership. Now, we have political leadership with vision, and we have a strong business community. I believe that this collaborationโ€”between women and youth, between governments and the private sector, and with civil societyโ€”will make a difference. I thank you again, Mr. President. See you in Kuala Lumpur in October. Thank you. [applause]
