La jeune joueuse de tennis, Leylah Fernandez, âgée de 22 ans, a vécu un début d’année 2025 en montagnes russes. Des hauts et des bas. Invité de dernière minute aux Amateurs de Sports, son entraîneur et père, Jorge Fernandez, est venu commenter la situation de sa fille, révélant un grave problème familial, mais souligne que Leylah ne s’est jamais plaint et a continué de persévérer. Elle a continué à se battre durant la maladie de sa sœur. Il met aussi la table pour l’Omnium BN de sa fille, qui vient d’ailleurs de remporter son premier titre, à Washington. La finale de la 14e édition de l’Euro féminin avait lieu le 27 juillet dernier, alors que les championnes en titre, les Anglaises, ont réussi le doublé, en battant les Espagnoles, favorites du tournoi. Claudine Douville, descriptrice des matchs de soccer à RDS, affirme que c’est un scénario digne d’Hollywood, alors que l’Angleterre est revenue de l’arrière plus d’une fois dans cet Euro. Douville se demande même combien de vies les Lionesses avaient ! Elle souligne aussi le très bon travail de l'entraîneuse de l’équipe anglaise Sarina Wiegman, qui vient de remporter son troisième Euro consécutif! La retraite attendra pour Eugénie Bouchard, alors que la canadienne a remporté son match de premier tour de son dernier tournoi en carrière, l’Omnium BN de Montréal, face à la colombienne, Emiliana Arango. Dans un Stade IGA survolté, Bouchard a réussi à vaincre son adversaire en trois manches. Hugues Léger, directeur général de Tennis Montréal, était sur place et affirme être très content que la fête puisse continuer pour Genie! Il est aussi revenu sur le problème familial qu’a connu la famille Fernandez dans les derniers mois et explique que cela met peut-être en perspective les derniers mois difficiles de Leylah.

Using Amateur Bands for other purposes

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I came across a series of strident posts about the injustice associated with a non-amateur service using the 70cm band. Complete with links to discussions, spectrum plots, angst and even incoherent outrage, all related to the notion that whomever "allowed" this user to transmit on this band was clearly incompetent. Except, that this is probably not the case, or the full story. So, what's going on and why are people incensed? This all started at least six years ago. Since then AST SpaceMobile has deployed seven low Earth orbit satellites and used the 70cm band to communicate with them. Although in the trial phase, there's plans for an additional 243 satellites, and there's at least one other company playing in the same space, Atmos Space Cargo. The outcry from amateurs is around the commercial use of "their" 70cm amateur band. It's an emotional statement, but what is the reality? Before I dig in, let's set some terms. Radio frequencies are globally coordinated because electromagnetism doesn't care about sovereign borders. This coordination is conducted at the United Nations by a body called the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union. Within that body, amateur radio gets a seat at the table from an organisation called the IARU, the International Amateur Radio Union. For the purposes of the ITU, the world is divided into three, Region 1, or essentially Europe, Russia and Africa, Region 2, the Americas and Greenland, and Region 3, the rest of the world. There's more to it, for example, Antarctica is split across all three, but for the moment, that really doesn't matter. Of interest is that the band plan, the agreements that outline which frequencies are set aside for what service, might be defined differently across each of those three regions. To add complexity, each country can be granted exceptions. I don't know the exact mechanics of how this is achieved, but I can guarantee that there's lots of haggling and foot stomping, diplomatically of course. If you're curious how I come to that observation, just look at the absurd list of exceptions associated with each band plan allocation. Further complexity is added by the fact that not all allocations occupy the same frequency range. For example, in Region 1, the 2m band for Amateurs exists between 144 and 146 MHz, in Region 2 and 3 it's between 144 and 148 MHz. Within an allocation there is the concept of shared and exclusive priorities. These determine who "wins" if two stations with a different service are transmitting on the same frequency. Essentially, a secondary user may not interfere with a primary user and a tertiary user may not interfere with either a secondary or a primary user and so on. A primary user can pretty much do what they want, as long as they stay within the allocation and don't interfere with other primary users. As a result, the order in which services are listed, matters. An exclusive allocation doesn't have to be shared at all. Between regions these service priorities might not be the same. For example, in Region 1 between 430 and 432 MHz is allocated to Amateurs and Radio Location, but in Region 2 and 3 it's between Radio Location and Amateurs. So an amateur using that frequency whilst in Region 1 would be a primary user, but in Region 2 or 3 they wouldn't. As an added wrinkle, for example in Australia, that slice is "primarily for the purposes of defence and national security", even though Radio Location is the primary service and Amateurs the secondary one. As a bonus, amateurs in Australia have access to 420.8 to 421.2 MHz as a secondary service, even though the ITU designates this as Fixed, then Mobile, except Aeronautical Mobile, and then Radio Location. Although amateurs are a secondary service, they come after the Department of Defence who are the primary users for those frequencies in Australia. Between 420 and 430 MHz, and from 440 to 450 MHz in several countries, Australia included, the Amateur Service is explicitly designated as a secondary service even though the band plan doesn't actually show this. If you're confused, you're in good company, since this tapestry of regulation isn't as straightforward as the "70cm band is an amateur band", in fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's not an amateur band at all, except perhaps in Region 1 between 430 and 440 MHz where Amateur is designated as the non-exclusive primary service. Back to the blow up. AST was at one time authorised to use 430 to 440 MHz for trial purposes by a regulator in Region 2, the FCC, the United States Federal Communications Commission. I suspect that at the time, the Blue Walker 1 nano satellite was experimental and the approval made sense. You can argue that whomever initially allowed this made a mistake, but, reality is whatever the regulator says it is, unless someone at the ITU objects. It appears that the FCC has since been attempting to make AST comply, instead with billions of dollars at stake, AST continues to apply for more spectrum, which they apparently originally filed with the ITU through the Papua New Guinea administration. It's unclear if the FCC has since capitulated. There is evidence that the new commercial AST satellites are transmitting outside of their authorisation, euphemistically described as "IARU Uncoordinated". Ask yourself, how is it possible, or even allowable, that a regulator permits use of radio spectrum outside its borders and what penalties and remedies exist? The ground stations using these disputed frequencies are all outside the USA. One of the five ground stations is in my own city, Perth in Western Australia. I haven't noticed any discussion on this topic within my local community, even though this has been brewing for years. It does raise a bigger question. How is the band plan enforced? I mean, the 40m band is pretty much unusable in VK6 between sunset and midnight thanks to the fishing fleet of our northern neighbours, it's been like that for as long as I've been an amateur and I expect no change during my lifetime. How is this satellite fleet operating on the 70cm band any different? That said, I cannot help but wonder, will the originally authorised 50 kHz signal every eight seconds, not for phone calls to space, and only for 24 hours after launch or in the unlikely event of an emergency, for Telemetry, Tracking and Command, actually cause issues, or will it be an opportunity for radio amateurs to learn how to deal with interference? Speaking of interference and considering the allocated services, who is interfering with whom here and what priorities and remedies exist? Recently I talked about promotion, and the lack thereof, across our community. This is an example of promotion, and despite the uproar this week, a very poor example at that. Searching for "AST SpaceMobile", the oldest post I could find was on the German AMSAT, or Amateur Satellite forums back in September 2022 by Peter DB2OS who has been very active on this matter. His original post was in English, but went on to discuss the issue in German. I only found it after specifically looking for the names of the organisation involved. Peter's posts supplied links to many of the documents I consulted. Despite having links to specific pages, I found no search results for "AST SpaceMobile" on the websites for the regulators in the US, UK, Germany or Australia, and none on the ARRL, RSGB or DARC. The WIA produced two glowing news reports around the beginning of 2023 about this wonderful new mobile phone service. No mention of the 70cm band. The only active discussions appear to be the German and UK AMSAT forums, that and all the glowing investor posts. In other words. This is the equivalent of publishing the information at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri, 50 years before the event and hoping for a good outcome. As a potential path forward, in January 2023 the German regulator forced AST to shut off 70cm operations whilst it was within radio visibility of Germany. I don't know if that's still in effect, or how and if it's being enforced. It appears that AST has been lobbying for the use of this spectrum for a long time, not just the 340 page submission made last month. For example, NASA made its first response to this satellite constellation in October 2020. It appears that the WIA responded four years later, but I have yet to see it, and this week the Bulgarian Federation of Radio Amateurs, the ARRL, and RSGB added theirs. The IARU issued a statement this week too. The fact that we're still arguing about it over half a decade later is a good indication that how we're responding as a global community is clearly ineffectual. Perhaps that is what we should be arguing stridently about. So, where do you stand on this? Should something be done about this, and if-so, what, and more importantly, how? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

De passage aux Amateurs de Sports, Desbiens nous révèle qu’elle n’a pas arrêté de sourire depuis ce matin. Elle nous raconte aussi que cette idée lui est venue lors d’une pratique de la Victoire de Montréal, alors qu’elle était assise sur le banc avec son entraîneur, Olivier Michaud. Avec ses jeunes gardiennes, elle souhaite leur donner de bons trucs, mais aussi de bonnes habitudes afin que ces dernières arrivent à s’améliorer tout en s’amusant! Les amateurs des Alouettes de Montréal en ont eu pour leur argent lors du match de jeudi dernier, au Stade Percival-Molson, alors que les moineaux sont revenus de l’arrière pour l’emporter face aux Argonauts de Toronto. Bruno Heppell, présent sur place, soutient que c’était une soirée absolument exceptionnelle et encourage les québécois et québécoises à se déplacer pour aller voir les matchs restants à domicile. De plus, selon Heppell, le quart-arrière partant des Alouettes, Davis Alexander, est le prochain grand quart-arrière prolifique de la LCF. En date d’aujourd’hui, ce dernier reste tout de même invaincu avec une fiche de 8-0! De plus en plus de québécois s’exilent en Russie pour y amener leurs services en KHL, que ce soit les joueurs ou les entraîneurs. Raphaël-Pier Richer, originaire de Gatineau, est l’un d’eux. L’an dernier, il a accepté l’offre du Traktor Chelyabinsk pour aller assister un autre québécois d’ailleurs, Benoît Groulx. Mené par Groulx et Richer, le Traktor a réussi à atteindre les finales, mais a dû s’avouer vaincu devant le Lokomotiv Yaroslavl d’un certain Alexander Radulov. Richer explique aussi les petits détails de la vie en Russie, comme les nombreux fuseaux horaires présents dans le plus grand pays du monde (10!). Il souligne aussi que les Russes sont des personnes très accueillantes. Les Roses de Montréal étaient de passage dans la Ville Reine, pour y affronter le AFC Toronto, première équipe au classement général. Les Roses l’ont finalement emporté, par la marque de 2-1. Patricia-Ann Beaulieu, chroniqueuse sportif au Réseau Cogeco, s’est réjouie du bon rythme avec lequel l’équipe québécoise a débuté la rencontre.

John Niven is a Scottish author and screenwriter known for his darkly comic, satirical novels. Born in Ayrshire in 1966, he studied English Literature at the University of Glasgow before spending a decade in the music industry. This experience inspired his breakout novel, Kill Your Friends (2008), a biting satire of the late-1990s music business. The book earned widespread acclaim for its brutal honesty and sharp wit, and was later adapted into a film for which Niven co-wrote the screenplay. His other works include The Amateurs, The Second Coming, Straight White Male, and O Brother, showcasing his distinctive blend of humour, cynicism, and moral insight. In addition to novels, Niven has written for film and journalism, often exploring themes of fame, failure, and modern hypocrisy. Known for his outspoken political views, Niven remains a provocative and influential voice in contemporary British literature and culture.

Le seul recruteur en chef québécois de toute la LNH, Martin Madden JR, était de passage aux Amateurs de Sports jeudi soir. Il vient aborder la belle progression que son équipe, les Ducks d’Anaheim, ont connue au fil des dernières saisons. De plus, ce n'est un secret pour personne, les Ducks viennent piger énormément dans la LHJMQ lors des derniers encans. 7 fois pour être plus exact, dans les quatre dernières années. Selon Madden JR, ce n’est qu’une question de timing ! L’an passé, peu d’amateurs auraient vu Bill Zonnon être repêché en première ronde et pourtant, les Penguins de Pittsburgh ont jeté leur dévolu sur le jeune attaquant de Montréal-Est. Zonnon raconte son expérience au camp des Penguins, de son quotidien en côtoyant Sidney Crosby et de l’excitation qui l’occupe en vue de sa première saison avec l’Armada de Blainville-Boisbriand. De passage en studio, le célèbre entraîneur de tennis, Sylvain Bruneau, est catégorique à ce sujet : Wimbledon est le plus grand tournoi du grand chelem. Avec tous nos canadiens éliminés, Bruneau fait un tour d’horizon de chaque joueur et joueuses, leurs forces & faiblesses. Il fait aussi le point sur l’Omnium de Montréal, et les joueuses qui ont été confirmées par l'organisation aujourd’hui.

Part 1 It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han Summary"It's Not Summer Without You" is the second book in Jenny Han's "Summer" series, which follows the life of Isabel “Belly” Conklin as she navigates her complicated feelings for her longtime crush, Jeremiah Fisher, and his brother, Conrad.The story picks up after the events of the first book. Belly has spent a summer in the past at the beach house belonging to the Fishers, but this time it's different. The summer is overshadowed by the sudden passing of Belly's mother, as well as the deepening emotional turmoil between Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad. At the beginning of the book, Belly feels lost without her mother and struggles with her grief. She has been harboring feelings for Conrad, who has pushed her away, leaving her heartbroken. As the narrative progresses, we see Belly trying to deal with her conflicted emotions and her relationships with both brothers. Jeremiah, who represents friendship and comfort, tends to be more openly affectionate and supportive, while Conrad embodies a more complicated, brooding persona that causes Belly more pain due to his emotional distance. The setting of the beach house serves as a backdrop for Belly's journey of self-discovery and healing. The annual summer traditions are disrupted by the struggles the characters face, but they also provide moments of nostalgia and bittersweet memories as Belly reflects on her childhood and her relationships.As the story unfolds, Belly learns important lessons about love, loss, and the importance of moving forward in life. The book examines themes of family, friendship, and growing up, while Belly ultimately has to choose between the safety and friendship that Jeremiah offers and the intense but complicated love she shares with Conrad. Overall, "It's Not Summer Without You" is a heartfelt exploration of the challenges that accompany growing up, the pain of loss, and the complexity of teenage romance, setting the stage for the concluding book in the series.Part 2 It's Not Summer Without You AuthorJenny Han is an American author and the co-author of the popular young adult series "To All the Boys I've Loved Before."

Building Better Developers with AI: Mastering Developer Feedback

Develpreneur: Become a Better Developer and Entrepreneur

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 1, 2025 35:29

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche take a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable—but—essential parts of being a developer: developer feedback. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, they revisit their past topics and uncover new insights on how feedback, communication, and mindset shape stronger, more collaborative developers. AI's Perspective: Developer Feedback as a Growth Tool Rob kicks off the episode by sharing how they asked ChatGPT to structure a show around developer feedback. The AI delivered a simple but powerful reminder: Feedback isn't criticism. It's a tool for growth. Key Takeaway: “Professionals seek feedback. Amateurs avoid it.” By reframing feedback as data rather than a personal critique, developers can use it to refine their skills, just as they would when debugging their code. Rob emphasizes that real-time, in-person code reviews often reveal more than written comments. They provide opportunities for knowledge sharing, cross-training, and discovering undocumented project details. Creating a Safe Space for Developer Feedback Michael reminds listeners that developer feedback works best in a safe and collaborative environment. Taking a breath before reacting allows you to absorb feedback objectively. Pro Tip: Treat feedback as input to improve — not a personal attack. However, Michael cautions against over-relying on constant feedback. While it's essential for growth, too much can erode confidence. Effective developers seek feedback purposefully and filter out noise. Code Reviews: The Most Overlooked Feedback Tool Both hosts stress the value of regular code reviews as an essential form of developer feedback: They catch errors early Enforce coding standards Reduce duplication and dead code Provide cross-training for the team Michael's Advice: “If your code changes are too big to review efficiently, your process needs adjusting.” Regular, focused code reviews keep teams aligned, enhance code quality, and enable developers to learn from one another. Beyond Code: Communicating with Non-Developers Rob reminds us that actual growth comes not just from technical feedback but from communicating effectively with non-developers. Whether it's labeling input fields clearly or translating technical issues for business stakeholders, every interaction shapes project success. Developer Feedback in Action: Understanding your users' language makes your product better — and prevents avoidable frustration. How to Process Developer Feedback Without Ego The hardest part of handling developer feedback? Managing your emotions. Rob and Michael outline how to stay grounded: Don't react — review, digest, reflect Ask clarifying questions without defensiveness Look for patterns across multiple feedback sources By approaching feedback with curiosity rather than ego, developers grow faster and foster stronger teams. Final Thoughts: Winning Through Listening Rob closes with timeless advice: “The person who talks the least in a meeting often wins.” Listening more — to peers, customers, and users — leads to better feedback, fewer misunderstandings, and stronger products. Developer Feedback may be uncomfortable, but it remains one of the fastest, most effective ways to grow as a developer. Combined with AI tools, code reviews, and intentional communication, feedback turns everyday frustrations into long-term success.

105 S03 Ep 10 – Modern Infantry Tactics, Ancient Truths: The Reality of Large Scale Combat Operations across Multiple Domains w/JRTC Infantry TF Seniors

The Crucible - The JRTC Experience Podcast

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-fifth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by COL Ricky Taylor, the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are four seasoned infantry task force seniors. LTC Andy Smith is the TF Senior for Task Force 2 (IN BN) with ten rotations as an Observer – Coach – Trainer and six rotations as a rotational training unit. LTC Matt Bandi is the TF Senior for Task Force 3 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and four rotations as RTU. LTC(P) Timothy Price is the TF Senior for Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) with twenty-one rotations as an OCT and seven rotations as RTU. And LTC Chuck Wall is the TF Senior for Task Force 1 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and five rotations as RTU. This episode of The Crucible centers on the raw, uncompromising realities of infantry warfighting in the LSCO environment, drawing directly from firsthand observations at JRTC. The discussion highlights how success on the modern battlefield is built on a foundation of small-unit fundamentals—movement, marksmanship, reporting, and rehearsals. Leaders emphasize that doctrinal clarity and simplicity at the squad and platoon level remain decisive, especially under pressure from drone surveillance, EW interference, and contested logistics. Units that survive and win are those that maintain discipline in their fieldcraft: they camouflage well, rehearse everything, and operate with a combat mindset that anticipates disruption rather than being surprised by it. The conversation also underscores the importance of deliberate leadership placement, effective use of terrain, and clarity in commander's intent. Fieldcraft isn't just about staying hidden—it's about moving smart, planning for degraded comms, and sustaining yourself under fire. Leaders describe how critical it is for junior NCOs and officers to own their piece of the battlefield, from shaping local security zones to enforcing LOGSTAT discipline. The episode drives home that modernization won't compensate for a lack of tactical proficiency—and that high-tech tools like sUAS, ATAK, or digital fires architecture only matter if teams have mastered the analog skills to shoot, maneuver, communicate, and survive under stress. Remember, Professionals train for the fight—they rehearse under pressure, refine fundamentals, and prepare for the worst-case scenario. Amateurs train until they get it right; professionals train until they can't get it wrong. In LSCO, that difference means survival. Part of S03 “Lightfighter Lessons” series.

La journaliste Véronique Mortaigne publie « Brésils, Éloge de la déraison », une traversée ébouriffante d'un pays et d'un peuple, habile à s'extraire du chaos. (Rediffusion) « Qu'est-ce que le Brésil ? ». Une amie me répond, sans hésitation : « La plage ». Elle n'a pas tort. Jamais ennuyeuse, la plage au Brésil est un lieu unique. Neuf mille deux cents kilomètres de rivages, du sable blanc, ocre, doré, des baies, des îles, des caps, des lagunes, des estuaires, des falaises, des mangroves, de la boue, des récifs, des piscines naturelles. Le Brésil a été béni des dieux. De plein de dieux, noirs, blonds, catholiques, le tout fusionné avec les orishas, les divinités vaudoues, et agrémenté de la cosmologie indigène. La multitude de saints, d'anges, d'entités cosmiques, nourrit un mysticisme ardent.« Mais qu'est-ce qu'être Brésilien ? Un mélange de charme, de sensualité, de pouvoir d'attraction, de capacité à créer des situations bordéliques et enchantées. Cerner le caractère profond de ce peuple expérimental en perpétuel mouvement n'est pas une mince affaire. Antônio Carlos Jobim eut un jour cette formule : « Le Brésil n'est pas un pays pour débutants. Amateurs s'abstenir. »Dans ce récit guidé par le hasard, la quête du mystère, du secret et de la magie, Véronique Mortaigne nous invite à découvrir les expériences les plus folles et les plus improbables qu'elle a vécues (Joao Gilberto…), en profondeur, rencontrer un peuple habile à s'extraire du chaos. Plus qu'une déclaration d'amour, cette traversée ébouriffante à travers un Brésil multiple est un éloge de la déraison dans un monde qui étouffe.Véronique Mortaigne est journaliste, longtemps critique musicale au Monde, elle est l'auteure de plusieurs ouvrages (sur Césaria Evora, Manu Chao, Johnny Hallyday, Bernard Lavilliers, Anne Sylvestre) avec une passion particulière pour le Brésil où elle fut professeure de français à Récife (Nordeste brésilien).Playlist de Véronique Mortaigne- Maria Bethânia Ultimo Desejo, extrait de Maria Bethânia Canta Noël Rosa e outras raridades 1965- Caetano Veloso Falso Leblon, extrait deZii e Zie 2009- Luiz Gonzaga Vem Morena, extrait de Gonzagão olha pro céu 1949- Beth Carvalho Vou festeja, extrait deFirme e forte no pagode 1978.X - Instagram (vmobr23) Équateurs.
