Bradley Barcola on Jacquet and Ekitike:

“I don’t know Jeremy [Jacquet], but I was able to talk to Hugo, who I met in the French team and in my old club. He was WAITING FOR ME to sign the contract, sending me messages often asking me if I was coming or not. I can’t wait to get back together and be able to play with him. I already said [told him] that it is done.” 😁✨

🇯🇵 Recently there's a lot of debate in Japan about beauty standards and what Japanese society thinks of as "beautiful" for women.

Everyone has their own opinion. For me, it's Chiemi Oguchi (a model). She's a real inspiration for me!

In Heat (1995), Val Kilmer’s rapid tactical reload in the downtown shootout was so accurate that U.S. Marines and Army Rangers used it as a training example. Director Michael Mann had the cast train exhaustively with weapons experts — that’s why it looks and feels real.

The NATO phonetic alphabet is the standard tool for spelling words over radio. It removes confusion and keeps important messages clear, which is why pilots and armed forces rely on it.
