Harry Nilsson (Brooklyn (New York), 15 juni 1941 – Agoura Hills (Californië), 15 januari 1994) was een Amerikaans componist, pianist, zanger en gitarist. Bijna al zijn werk werd onder de naam Nilsson uitgegeven. Aan het eind van de jaren zestig vertolkte hij met succes het liedje "Everybody's Talkin'" en in 1971 brak hij door met het album Nilsson Schmilsson. In de avonduren werkte hij bij een bank en overdag schreef Nilsson liedjes voor muziekuitgevers. Het lukte hem aanvankelijk niet om als artiest bekend te raken. Zijn composities werden echter wel opgenomen door bekende muziekgroepen en artiesten, onder wie The Monkees, The Yardbirds, Lulu en Blood, Sweat & Tears. Hij schreef tevens drie liedjes voor Phil Spector, die gespeeld werden door The Ronettes en het Modern Folk Quartet. In 1966 kwam een compilatie van zijn eerste werk uit met als titel Spotlight on Nilsson. https://hvdommelen.nl/n/Nilsson.html

The prosecution stated that experts from the Internal Security Agency prepared opinions on the functionality and safety of the Pegasus system in an investigation conducted by the Investigation Team No. 3 of the National Prosecutor's Office. According to the opinions, the system allowed for the acquisition of a wide range of data from mobile devices without the knowledge and consent of their users. The prosecution also conveyed that the experts determined that the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau did not have full control over the system, and some of its elements remained solely under the control of the manufacturer. The manufacturer also had the technical ability to access materials from operational controls. The details of the declassified sections of the opinion were provided by the prosecution in a statement. https://t.co/ZtdDhmErsr #Pegasus #bezpieczeństwo #technologia (translated)

Jarosław Królewski wrote that before the 24th minute of the match between Legia and Wisła, in his opinion, the Krakow team was at least equal, if not better than their rivals. They were creating chances and gradually taking control of the game, which — as he pointed out — was also mentioned by coach Mariusz Jop. Królewski accused the referee of allowing a goal for Legia despite two mistakes in one situation, and moments later not awarding a clear penalty for Wisła. He claimed these decisions changed the dynamic of the match: Wisła stopped playing as before, and Legia could retreat, limit risks, and control the game. The author emphasized that refereeing decisions affect not only individual actions or goals but also the strategy and behavior of both teams as well as the further course of the game. He noted that before the 25th minute, the statistics for Legia and Wisła were: shots 1:3, shots on target 1:1, possession 45%-55%, and xG 0.17-0.59. Królewski also mentioned bottles thrown onto the pitch, the refusal to allow Wisła fans into the stadium, the television station inviting editors from LW news services, and skipping difficult topics on air. He also pointed out the incorrect Wisła emblem on the screens and the announcer mispronouncing the names of players, including Artur Rodado, as well as presenting them in the feminine form. He wrote that he found it hard to rule out intentional actions in some of these cases. According to Królewski, there was a lack of respect, fairness, and equal rules during the match. He considered that the game was not an example of professional football worth remembering. #PiłkaNożna #Futbol #Sędziowanie (translated)

As a team, we are ready to translate our efficiency into away games. I think this match will be a good warm-up and another test for us, as the opponent is certainly of a high caliber, a competitor who is consistent, and for us, it will definitely be a good opportunity to prove ourselves and show what we're capable of," said Wisła's coach Mariusz Jop before the match. #LegiaWarszawa #WisłaKraków #Ekstraklasa (translated)

Marcin Borzęcki wrote that although one can understand that the football project is not functioning, in the case of Widzew, the scale of the problem was exaggerated in his opinion. He pointed out that a few accurate passes, a precise reception of the ball, or dribbling without using shin guards were considered a success there, and he compared the team's play to the performance of a group of inexperienced amateurs. #Widzew #Futbol #PiłkaNożna (translated)

Profile from the court - tennis information recalled that just over four months earlier, Qinwen Zheng had cried at a press conference after losing to Maja Chwalińska in the first round of Roland Garros. As noted, the Chinese player had dropped out of the top hundred of the WTA rankings at that time and mentioned that she needed a new start, at one point ranking 160th. The author assessed that the last few weeks had brought a revival for the Olympic champion. He observed that her improving form was already visible during the US Open, and then Zheng won the WTA 1000 tournament in Beijing in front of her home crowd. According to the post, she was to occupy the 23rd place in the rankings starting the next day. From the court, he congratulated her determination. #zkortu #tenis #WTA #sport (translated)

Jarosław Królewski wrote that before the match with Legia Warsaw, Wisła Kraków was in the role of "Cinderella" — with a smaller budget, less experience at the highest level in recent years, and without support from fans in the stands in Warsaw. He pointed out that the club seeks advantage in intelligence and meritocracy, authenticity, and courage. He acknowledged that the organization makes mistakes but emphasized that it consistently strives for these values. Królewski stressed that the result of one match should neither undermine nor glorify the club's work, as it is part of a longer process. He added that the greatest advantage of Wisła is the people making up the club and its fans, whom he described as one somewhat crazy family. He announced that regardless of the outcome, the team would return to work on improvement the next day. Finally, he noted that he wrote the post without using AI, although it was polished by AI. #WisłaKraków #LegiaWarszawa #piłkaNożna (translated)

Jakub Balcerzak summarized the last Saturday before the start of the 2026/2027 league season. He assessed that the slogan "Beat the champion" will motivate the rivals of Michał Winiarski's team, and each of them will approach the matches with full commitment. He cited the match between Trefl and Sordyl as an example and wondered how many weaker teams would manage to play in a similar way. According to Balcerzak, Lublin was in better shape at this stage of preparations than a year earlier. He praised the creativity of Ran and Ogawa as well as the play of the latter, and positively evaluated the start of preparations for Mikołaj Sawicki, whom he considered well physically prepared. The author was pleased with Roberto Piazza's presence in the Polish club, but noted that there is a lot of work ahead for PGE Project Warszawa, as the Italian coach had only started working with the team a few days earlier. He assessed that Romano could help Warsaw achieve a major trophy this season. After the match against Lublana, he pointed out that the average age of Project's players on the court was almost 33 years. He also wrote that Śliwka's injury means at least a month off, and noted that the captain of the Polish national team has played only 31 percent of league matches in almost three years. Balcerzak called Tymoteusz Lenik one of the best Polish middle blockers from the 2005 age group and younger. He believed that Gheorghe Crețu is guiding the player well and predicted that Lenik would make it to the senior national team next season. He pointed to 22-year-old Mateusz Nowak as a possible successor to Bartłomiej Lemański in Bełchatów and as the best player of Skra during the preparation period. He described Szymon Jakubiszak as one of the leading Polish middle blockers and wrote that he should join a club competing for the Polish championship. Regarding the Italian league, Balcerzak praised Basil Dermaux's performance in Milan, where he scored 27 points, including seven aces. He indicated Hryhoriia Khotsevycha as a potential discovery of the new season of LegaVolley, and described Pardo Matia as an increasingly important player in Modena's offense. He added that his collaboration with Tizi-Oualou was going very well. Assessing the teams from Japan, Balcerzak stated that there is a lot of work ahead for Suntory Sunbirds Osaka and that the team no longer commands the same respect as in previous years. He positively evaluated the new Nagoya and the performance of Norbert Huber, while considering Osaka Bluteon the best team currently in the country, with a significant advantage over rivals.
