One year later and COVID is still having an effect on football, i look forward always to EPL weekends, it would have been partially nice especially on this Christmas Holiday weekend to see some football action with family, However COVID is a serious issue and not something to take lightly, i wish all the players who are down currently with COVID a speedy response to treatment and recovery.

Since Ukraine is a break out from Russia and after being so long under their control and influence for a while, Russia must feel threatened by this further move to become more independent and free from their influence by seeking an inclusion and alliance with the strongest military alliance in the world - NATO. An alliance by Ukraine with NATO, will mean that an external military under strong influence of the United States has edged closer to Moscow, this is a big threat to Russia. if you have been following up on the news, you will hear that in the past days, Russia has significantly increased the number of troops on the border of Ukraine, am indication of maybe an invasion, the planned isolation of Russia from the SWIFT banking system may just be a tool to keep Russia in check until the tension and issues can be properly discussed. Putin now wants NATO not to expand its operations to Ukraine .

A big contribution to this is the refusal and inability of a user to properly go through the "terms and conditions" of the casino they want to gamble on. Some users are too quick to want to join a casino that they don't even bother going through the terms and conditions of a casino. I'll also not completely blame the users as well because some of these T&C's put forward by Casino's are made unreadable, discouraging and overly packed with details that a user may even miss some important details if they try to want to read.

Is there really any risk free fight? I doubt. Some fights more risky than the others, but none completely without risk. Betting to what you think is a risk free fight is not an assurance for victory, the losses you fear to incur may still be waiting for you in those fights that you have deemed risk free. The fear of playing it safe always and only betting on risk free fights may mean you never get to win a good reward IMO, because where's the good reward without an equivalent risk?

Firstly, i thank God that you are alive to even tell the story, as life is the most important thing, many have died from less. A circumstance like this especially at a time like this is not so easy to handle, getting back up on your feet and recovering lost properties may seem difficult but it is not impossible. It will take a bit of time and resources, but it is what must be done. My prayers are with you.

It is understandable when you don't believe in Christ and simply say "Happy Holidays", but you need correction as a believer in Christ if you say "Happy Xmas" instead of "Happy Christmas".

 Generally, "X" is a letter used to make an indication that something is unknown, Christ is the reason for the season, so why do you a believer in Christ say "Happy Xmas" instead of "Happy Christmas" when you already know the reason behind the christmas celebration?
Why have you replaced "Christ" with "X"?
 

Under Xavi so far with just six games to his name, Barcelona have lost just once. Barcelona played some really impressive football against Sevilla, regardless of the facts that they were away from home, i feel they should have gotten all three points if they had not just been unlucky.

Without the injury troubles Dembele is a phenomenal player and he showed to all today the reason why Barcelona should extend his contract. if Xavi plays him and Ansu on the flanks, with a few addition to the team upfront in attack and in defence when the transfer window opens, Barcelona will be Barcelona again without Messi.

Scammers are very smart people who have devoted their creativity and time into devising new means and methods of swindling people and taking their hard earned cash. Have this at the back of your mind and be cautious always because we never know the new style or method they have devised. If someone tells you a definitive no right now that scammers can't steal your money using smart contracts, the answer may not still be true tomorrow as a new method may be devised by scammers tomorrow. i hope you understand where i'm coming from, always act with the consciousness that anything is possible with scammers.

i fear that many other talented artist around the world are victims of this as well, that is their art being stolen and used by others who have more opportunities and a means to sell them. I wonder if copyright laws are significant in the regards of NFT's, but i think an artist who has proper documents backing his "intellectual property" can sue someone who has not just stolen his work, but commercialised it as well.

Football rules these days seem to have changed, because lately there's been a lot unaccepted, inconsistent and controversial football decisions from the VAR and the referees. Decisions are now very unpredictable, i don't know if the people to blame are the ones who programmed the VAR machine or the machine itself, something has to be done. Milan pressed hard in the game, but it seems Napoli kept a high defensive line because Milan were offside a couple of times. I feel some offside decisions were correct, while some were not.

NFT's have introduced a new concept, making every original thing to be unique in themselves and have value. I think NFT's are not rampant yet but soon will, and will also go on for a long while where it will find application to many other things, which is where i agree with you OP on NFX.

The metaverse in development will create room for the development of more NFT's, in that light...NFT's may not be affordable to everyone, but more persons will be able to afford them to access the metaverse.

We are seeing a completely different Spurs team under Conte from the one we saw at the start of the season. I like the way the players mentality seem to have been charged up and right now they have their fighting spirit once again. Can't wait to see them play Chelsea in January. Tottenham IMO is still very much in the race for finishing top four and qualifying for UCL, with Conte on the wheels, the possibility is high.

Don't bend to societal pressure of over spending during this festive season, make serious plans for the celebrations and the coming year, Don't fall into the trap or bend to the pressure of selling off a percentage of your cryptos to  spend this festive season, a new year is coming. January is usually a long month that carries along a lot of expenses, make plans and preparations now for tomorrow, spend wisely today.

Cadiz really deserve getting a point from this Real Madrid team that has been on a winning streak for a while now. I must commend the solid defending from the Cadiz side even in the second half where real Madrid intensified play. It is not easy for an away team to soak up pressure from a home team. Teams like Cadiz know that winning the league is still far from them, so not loosing in games like this is usually a good result for them.

We knew that if Man city got to that first position on the table, it wasn't going to be easy for other teams tipped to win the EPL like Chelsea & Liverpool to topple them. Chelsea for me has chosen the wrongest time in the season to be dropping points. They will be starting January against Liverpool in a home game, and Manchester City afterwards, two opponents you will want to play with high morale. I hope they can get back to winning ways from their next fixture against Aston villa.

Watching this PSG game, and i am still keeping my fingers crossed hoping to see goals in the game that are not as a result of penalties. Not like i am insinuating that the penalties were not correctly given, they were, but it will be nice to see normal creative goals. Mbappe is in good form, looking sharp in front, Icardi should take cue from him and start playing better especially in the second half.

The concept of the metaverse is new and in development and acceptance/getting used to it may be something difficult. I completely agree with OP that some usage of the metaverse will be easier to accept example for office meetings, while some other of its usage like the musical concert may not be easy to adapt to by everyone gender. I however believe that since the idea is new and in development, it will definitely get better than what you witnessed in the Ariana Grande thing, more gender/age friendlier environment will emerge.

The concept of the metaverse is very exciting and will create new windows of opportunities for many who align themselves properly to get the best off this new digital Innovation.

The metaverse is a digitally developing environment where some individuals are already making investments and buying digital plots of land and properties. This development will certainly create new and flourishing opportunities for some careers. Some of these careers that i have identified are;

- Real Estate agents/developers;
 There is a need to help people buy and sell properties especially land in the metaverse since it is still it the early stages of development and there is a lot of land to be sold. I'd like to refer to them as "Meta realtors".

-Architects;
 New unique structures will begin to spring up in the metaverse as more people come in, to keep people and ensure that they keep visiting. Shops, offices or any other structure that is to be created within the metaverse will require a form of unique architecural design. A new set of opportunity for people i will love to refer to as "Meta architects".

-Artist & Graphic Designers;
There is a whole new face of opportunities for Artists & Graphic designers who will be well sort after in this new digital reality to create unique identities for private or commercial use within the metaverse.

For the purpose of information and learning, share any other career opportunity that you think the metaverse will bring.

The early birds and pioneer investors to new and viable projects usually get the best from them. Because this projects are new, the developers/creators always do their best to make it enticing for people to come in. OP if you have identified a new project and your research not just intuition has  hinted the project that be good, then invest only what you can loose, it may become your testimony.

IMHO, trading is very and highly unpredictable and at the moment we cannot say that AI's can with a 100% accuracy predict and make one rich from trading. Apart from you devising and updating your trading strategy by staying at the forefront of information, you also really need "divine help" to assist you in making profitable trading decisions.
