Great topic OP.

The Pelusium Battle

Egypt paid a heavy price for cat worship when Persian king Cambyses II in 525 BC wanted to expand his empire and invaded Egypt. To reach that land, he had to pass through Pelusium on the east side of the Nile Delta. That was a strategic place that the Egyptians wanted to defend at all costs. Psametik III was the ruler at the time.

It was also recorded historically that before the Persian invasion, Cambyses already had a plan to revenge his humiliation. Before the death of Psametik’s father, Pharaoh Amasis, Cambyses requested to marry one of his daughters. But, Amasis deceived him by giving him his predecessor’s daughter. When Cambyses found out that he had been conned by Amasis, he felt insulted and resorted to capturing Egypt – which he achieved in the reign of Psametik, Amasis’ son.

The fans might love their club but it's not enough to run them. These clubs carry huge wage bill and UEFA champions league isn't going to pay these debts.


So their anger towards the ESL isn't right cause at the end, Messi and Ronaldo are still commanding huge wage bills.


The days of running the club as community affair are gone. It's now a business and capitalism is the only way it will survive for the next generation

The Egyptians and Cats


The Egyptians’ consecration of cats began when the goddess, Bastet was depicted with the head of a cat. She was believed to represent mystery, the night, and the moon.

Additionally, it was thought that Bastet helps both human beings and animals to reproduce, recover from illnesses, and protect dead souls. So, the Egyptians treat cats reverentially because of Bastet. There was also a law that prohibited the sale, abuse, or murder of cats in ancient Egypt. Killing a cat was a capital offense then, such that its penalty was death.

At that time, just anybody could not own a cat. Only the Pharaohs had the honor of having and domesticating this sacred creature. The Pharaohs also considered other animals sacred, such as snakes, cows, and fish, but the cat is the most sacred of all.

Recall that just few days after the European Super League was announced, all Premier League club's and some other founding members pulled out of the venture for fear of UEFA's disciplinary actions and fans massive backlash.

However, FC Barcelona, Juventus and Real Madrid still stayed on. Madrid's President, Florentino Perez had said they were not afraid of UEFA and were pushing on with ESL as they see UEFA as monopolistic entity.

According to him, one of the major reasons for pushing the actualisation of ESL is that current economic model for club revenues is no longer feasible and creating huge debts for clubs. He also cited that there was a legal proceedings in court with respect to the issue.

According to news reports this evening, it appears the fight for the establishment of ESL is not yet over with the verdict the remaining members of ESL have on their hands. Read the news brief below -

Here’s the statement:

"FC Barcelona, Juventus, and Real Madrid CF welcome today’s Court’s decision enforcing, with immediate effect, UEFA’s obligation to unwind the actions taken against all European Super League founding clubs, including terminating the disciplinary proceedings against the undersigning three clubs and removing the penalties and restrictions imposed on the remaining nine founding clubs for them to avoid UEFA’s disciplinary action.

"The Court backs the request made by the promoters of the European Super League, dismisses UEFA’s appeal, and confirms its warning to UEFA that failure to comply with its ruling shall result in fines and potential criminal liability. The case will be assessed by the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg, which shall review UEFA’s monopolistic position over European football."

Cats are highly regarded by Egyptians of old than any other animal according to many religious texts of ancient Egypt. They are worshiped by their Egyptian owners and mummified when they die. It is alleged that when a foreigner stole an Egyptian cat, Pharaoh would send his army to retrieve it.

Their affection for cats was what the Persians leveraged to conquer them during the battle of Pelusium. How were they defeated by the Persian Empire? Read on to find out.

Hushpuppi was arrested last year after an International sting operation that busted his crime syndicate. He has been extradited to the USA since then after his arrest where he has been in custody awaiting trial.

According to People's Gazette, the fraudster has pleaded guilty to the charges filed against him by the FBI. However, pleading guilty wasn't the only thing the Versace clothes crooner seem to be singing to them at the moment.

Thanks to the latest weapons, Russia is able to detect any enemy and strike an inevitable blow, if necessary, said Russian President Vladimir Putin at a Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg, which was attended by more than 4 thousand troops and more than 50 vessels, including a Borey-A nuclear submarine with ballistic missiles.

"Today, the Russian Navy has everything it needs to guarantee the protection of its native country, our national interests," Putin said.

Speaking in front of the monument to the founder of the Russian Navy, Peter the Great, Putin said that Russia "has taken its rightful place among the leading maritime powers" and has "the latest systems of hypersonic high-precision weapons", which have no equivalents in the world and which are "constantly and successfully" improving.

"We are able to detect any underwater, surface, air enemy and inflict an inevitable blow on him, if necessary," Putin said.

Three days before the start of, according to Putin, the "grandiose" parade, which took place without spectators due to the surge of the COVID-19 cases, the Russian Defense Ministry announced successful tests of Zircon hypersonic nuclear missiles, one of the five types of "super-weapons" presented by Putin during his address to the Federal Assembly in 2018.

The missile fired from the frigate Admiral Gorshkov in the White Sea, moving at a speed 7 times higher than the speed of sound, hit a ground target located on the coast of the Barents Sea, at a distance of more than 350 kilometers.

All "tactical and technical characteristics of the Zircon missile" were confirmed during the tests," the Defense Ministry said.

NATO, commenting on the Russian tests, noted that "new hypersonic missiles significantly destabilize the situation and pose significant risks to security and stability in the entire Euro-Atlantic region."

The emergence of a new types of weapons "increases the risk of escalation and miscalculations" on the part of the Russian leadership, NATO stressed.

NATO remains "committed to a measured response to Russia's growing arsenal of conventional and nuclear missiles" without making additional efforts to respond to what Moscow is doing.

According to Sport, AS Roma have offered €15 million for the France international but Barca don’t want to sell for less than €25 million.

Jose Mourinho’s side may also have their work cut out convincing Lenglet to move. The report suggests he wants to stay but if he does go he wants to head to the Premier League.

Lenglet’s future has been uncertain for a little while, after a poor campaign last time out, although he has said he wants to stay.

“I can’t see myself leaving,” he told Eurosport in June. “I signed a new contract last season. I will be at Barça next season.”

A lot of research has been conducted to understand the underlying speech processes that occur within the mind of persons who were born deaf.

There are mainly two core primary areas of the brain affected by hearing loss – the temporal lobe and the left hemisphere. The functions of these two parts of the brain heavily influence the thought processing capacity of the mind.

Studies have shown that humans generally engage in thought processes by linking words together, or through images, or a combination of both.

This girl has been trying real hard to get Messi's attention and do 'things' with him for years. It became so much that Antonella (Messi's wife) had to take Messi's phone and block her on IG and his other SM handles. A stitch in time!


The girl just wouldn't relent.

The Miss Bum Bum competition winner 2019, Suzy Cortes a known Messi fan has fulfilled her promise of tattooing Messi's face in her bum bum. Like Messi, she also won her "Miss Bum Bum" award in Brazil and has been vocal in her support for her Argentine countryman.

• Ilaix Moriba

His contract with the Catalan giants will end next year and Barca are trying to extend the contract as soon as possible.
However, there seem to be no headway as the player is reportedly asking for more.

Ilaix broke into the first team last season and has continued to draw interest. It is rumoured that Manchester City and Chelsea are currently monitoring the situation closely, and are willing to double the salary of the 18yrs old midfielder if Barca can't reach an agreement.

According to The Mirror, Barca has set "August 15" as the deadline to sort out their financial hiccups and also to register Lionel Messi with La Liga.

Number one appetizer, dope fiends know this.
Keeps you paranoid.
And more kruzz in the fantasies that come with it

So many narratives are peddled about supernatural attacks. Part of the narration always includes stories on how certain people allegedly obtained extraordinary powers to cause harm to others in a likely "spirit" world and the attacked person will suffer in real life.

What is Spiritual Attack?

The peddlers of this narrative believe that you can actually harm someone "spiritually" by meeting a "spiritual" specialist who will invoke an imaginary being that will be "requested, controlled or directed" to do the bidding of the person making the request - after payment of course.

https://uptownerd.com/2021/07/22/exposed-the-3-untold-truths-about-spiritual-attacks/

So, lets understand this illogical belief further. Apparently someone has a supernatural power that can do anything for them, and of all the zillions of things they could be doing with such amount of power, the best one is to seat and be receiving request to spiritually harm others?

A lot of people fantasize about the weederness marijuana takes you to when you heat the leaves. The question of highness and its actual effect is something most wants to know about.

Various myths have been built about it that one begins to wonder if all the eulogies are weaved just to keep the marketing going. However, how do you explain the continuous success of something that is never advertised? Well, except recently though. There must be something about it.

A study was conducted and it was noticed that a lot of people smoke weed for different reasons. The responses given by users and non-users with respect to their perception and conception about smoking dope differ. As people vary, so are their taste and likes. Though the general consensus among the nonsmoker’s is that the highness is addictive, actual smokers will definitely disagree.

3) It brings independence

As the name suggests, you become independent and financially free. You don’t burden anyone with your financial needs and no-one subjects you to all forms of ridicule because they’re doing you a favour.

4) Multiple streams of income for the household.

5) You are less of a liability.

In a world where male dominance is the order of things, being an independent woman is heavily encouraged. The alternative is submitting to the dictates of he who pays the bills.

1) It’s empowering.

Being financially independent as a woman helps you take control of your own life and handle things yourself without bothering your husband or any family member. It helps you be in charge of your affairs.

2) Self-fufilling.

For a start, we all want to feel good about ourselves and our capacity as individuals. Being financially independent will give you a self-fulling feeling, a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Why? Because it is not easy, but you did it. So, what’s not to like?
