The incident occurred in the second half, and despite initial attempts to continue playing, Ederson was eventually withdrawn from the match.<br/><br/>The footage, shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), shows Ederson lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious, as players from both teams urgently signaled for medical assistance. Despite appearing groggy when he returned to his feet, Ederson was allowed to play on for several minutes before Guardiola decided to replace him with backup goalkeeper Stefan Ortega. This decision led to a visibly frustrated Ederson storming off the pitch.<br/><br/>Pep Guardiola later defended the club's handling of the situation, insisting that Ederson did not suffer a concussion but rather an eye injury from the collision, which saw Romero receive a booking.

_perfome-mime-playing-balloon-upt-sdn-kalipang-01----seleksi-fls2n-tingkat-kab-blitar.jpg "Playing with balloons with friends can be a delightful and carefree way to spend a day. One sunny afternoon, a group of friends and I decided to bring a bunch of colorful balloons to a local park. The sky was clear, and a gentle breeze was perfect for our plans.<br/><br/>As soon as we reached the park, we started blowing up the balloons. We had all sorts of colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and purple. The balloons added a vibrant touch to our small gathering. Once we had enough balloons, someone suggested a game of balloon keep-up. The aim was simple: to keep the balloon up in the air as long as possible without letting it touch the ground.<br/><br/>We formed a circle and started tapping the balloon to each other. Laughter filled the air as we jumped and dived to keep the balloon aloft. The game was not only fun but also turned into a light workout as we ran around, stretching our arms high or lunging to save a balloon from hitting the grass.<br/><br/>After several rounds of keep-up, we took a short break to catch our breath and sip some water. Then, we decided to try another game: balloon tag. In this game, one person was 'it' and had to tag others by hitting them gently with a balloon. This game was even more energetic and hilarious, with everyone scampering and dodging around trying not to get tagged. The person who was 'it' changed frequently, keeping the game dynamic and inclusive.<br/><br/>As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the park, we ended our games. We sat down on the grass, sharing snacks and stories, surrounded by the remnants of popped balloons and the few that remained intact, bobbing gently in the evening breeze.<br/><br/>Playing with balloons reminded us of the joy of simple pleasures and the beauty of spending unstructured time with friends in the great outdoors. It was a memorable day that left us all feeling a bit more connected and a lot more joyful.")

Skylab was considered a success overall, but it got off to a pretty rocky start. It lifted off on a Saturn V rocket from Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. About a minute into the launch, its micrometeoroid shield accidentally deployed and flew off, and it took out one of the solar panels along the way. Debris from that accident then got stuck in another solar array and jammed it shut, leaving Skylab without any solar power. Thankfully, it still had fuel cells to keep it barely running until astronauts could come to save the day. But to make matters worse, the missing micrometeoroid shield was also designed to be a heat shield, so Skylab was getting dangerously hot. The first crewed Skylab mission arrived 12 days later with a new replacement heat shade, and they were able to fix the jammed solar panel and get the station up and running.")

_hotel-deluxe-2013.jpg "Hotel Deluxe is a 2013 Hong Kong comedy film released in commemoration with the Lunar New Year of 2013. The film was produced by Raymond Wong Pak-ming (黃百鳴) and directed by Vincent Kok Tak-chiu (谷德昭), his thirteenth as a director, and written by him along with Anselm Chan Mou-yin (陳茂賢, credited as Anselm Chan), Steven Fung Min-hang (馮勉恆), and Poon Jun Lam (潘俊霖). Hotel Deluxe features many of the recurring cast from his All's Well, Ends Well film series.<br/><br/>Hotel Deluxe concerns the Hundred Stars Hotel, located on Qiandao Lake in Hangzhou (also the key location in All’s Well Ends Well 2009), and how the hotel staff bands together to retain their five-star rating. Longtime staff members Peachey (吳君如 Sandra Ng Kwan-yue), Pacino (杜汶澤 Chapman To Man-chak) and OK Pao (鄭中基 Ronald Cheng Chung-kei) have become somewhat complacent, so the head office assigns tightfisted manager Cruella Koo (毛舜筠 Teresa Mo Shun-kwan) to oversee operations. The staff isn’t too happy with the new leadership and makes a few weak attempts at screwing with Cruella. However, she’s really a decent sort and before long she’s working with the team to solve the hotel’s many crises.<br/><br/>Besides a suspected travel critic, the annoying Jim (詹瑞文 Jim Chim Sui-man) prowling the grounds, the hotel staff must handle visiting superstars Audrey (熊黛林 Lynn Hung Dai Lin) and Marilyn (Karena Ng). Both have problems: Audrey is sickly sweet in public but foul-mouthed and difficult in private, and Marilyn is a new age oddball. While Cruella deals with Audrey (吳千語 Karena Ng Chin-yu) and her many demands, OK Pao handles Marilyn. OK Pao is a super fan of Marilyn, but that fact charms rather than repels her and soon the two develop mutual romantic feelings.<br/><br/>However, before OK Pao can get his own Notting Hill remake, old friend Bobo (薛凱琪 Fiona Sit Hoi-kei) arrives at the hotel with a special request: she must get married to keep her family inheritance, but her uncle Ho San (Raymond) seeks to stop her. However, Bobo doesn’t have a fiancé, so the staff finds a ringer in valet Mark Lui (于波 Yu Bo) and prepare to fake her wedding. The potential pairings triple when Bobo’s uncle takes a shine to Peachey, plus Bobo has unrequited feelings for OK Pao. Things eventually reach a head — but don’t worry, it all ends well. You know, just like in Raymond Wong’s other movies.")

While Cruella deals with Audrey (吳千語 Karena Ng Chin-yu) and her many demands, OK Pao handles Marilyn. OK Pao is a super fan of Marilyn, but that fact charms rather than repels her and soon the two develop mutual romantic feelings.<br/><br/>However, before OK Pao can get his own Notting Hill remake, old friend Bobo (薛凱琪 Fiona Sit Hoi-kei) arrives at the hotel with a special request: she must get married to keep her family inheritance, but her uncle Ho San (Raymond) seeks to stop her. However, Bobo doesn’t have a fiancé, so the staff finds a ringer in valet Mark Lui (于波 Yu Bo) and prepare to fake her wedding. The potential pairings triple when Bobo’s uncle takes a shine to Peachey, plus Bobo has unrequited feelings for OK Pao. Things eventually reach a head — but don’t worry, it all ends well. You know, just like in Raymond Wong’s other movies.")
