There are many thing you need to consider before you're moving to other country for job, aside from the language barrier, cost of living and knowing which jobs are open on there, you should know the culture and how high they will accept foreigner to work.
The main point is acceptance of foreigners with a degree obtained from universities in my country. It is not easy for me to move to another country expecting to be accepted to the same level of qualification standards with the degree i am holding in US or Canada even if language is not a barrier.

In my country majority move to Europe, Canada, Australia and US for higher education looking to settle and earn a living and for anyone who is doing their higher education here usually move to GCC countries looking for a job but the overall job market globally is not that great and the price for basic things are on the rise.

In the main event only one fight was a TKO and that too which i did not expect and the rest of the fights went to a decision. It was a hard pick and i did not place a bet on this event as it was a difficult one. I did not expect Yan Xiaonan to win in the first round against Jéssica Andrade. The plan for Gilbert Burns to return too soon from his last fight backfired and Belal Muhammad should fight for the title next as he is on a 9 fight winning streak against the best.

The main event was a mixed one, the reach disadvantage of Henry Cejudo was evident with the strikes and whenever he took Aljamain Sterling down he was not able to capitalize that and usually ask them to stand up instead of taking any advantage on the ground and that helped Aljamain Sterling and was able to control the striking distance and he won clearly even though the judges gave a split decision.

Ngannou might be reluctant to commit this time and keeps adding more demands or prolonging negotiations since he is buying time while Fury's talks are also ongoing. Tyson Fury already ducked Usyk in boxing and until there is no official announcement on his next fight, Ngannou's hopes of an exhibition match remain alive. I read a post somewhere saying Fury was offered $40 million but is not willing to sign since Ngannou also wanted to make it 50/50.
Spoiler alert, Marquel Martin who put together the ring side appearance during the Tyson Fury fight and the person who is responsible for putting that fight together is no longer the manager of Francis Ngannou and he his representing himself in those negotiations and we all saw what happened with OneFC and if there is a betting line whether Francis Ngannou will fight the top boxers, i would bet on a big NO.

Connor already has ownership of the UFC right? I do not know how many stocks he owns but I heard it was given to him as part of his contract renewal. There's a big difference between Ngannou and Connor though in terms of marketability. Connor owns most of the top UFC PPV buys.
Conor McGregor is not having any share in the UFC. He is a fighter and a former champion and that is his relation with the UFC.

Ok wait and see, everything will be released in public soon.
PFL contracts dont prevent anyone from boxing, this is not the same as UFC gulag rules for everyone except McGregor  Roll Eyes
Clearly waiting for the terms as Francis Ngannou is negotiating directly without a management team Grin.

There is a reason the UFC is not allowing Francis Ngannou to box Tyson Fury who is regarded as one of the greatest Heavyweight boxers of all time, he will be humiliated and i clearly doubt he will be able to sustain more than 5 rounds considering his stamina is not that great and the UFC brand will be affected. After the loss you cannot call the UFC Heavyweight champion as the baddest man on the planet, so there are multiple factors for the UFC and there is no way the UFC will allow Conor McGregor to fight one more Boxing match under their banner.

Yes, Tether is very safe to hold my funds because their teams are potential team and they are very ready to do everything possible to ensure the price of Tether continue to increase higher to enable their investors have every reason to invest in tether again.
Looks like you have no idea about Tether  Tongue Cheesy.

Now that the Tether price has increased to $1 showed that before the end of next year 2024 the price of Tether will hit $2 to allow those long term holders to make a huge amount of money from their investments. If you have the money to invest on a stablcoins, I will advise you to invest in Tether because there is a hope that the price will increase more in future which will be favourable to those that will invest now.
The team claims that they are backed by the US dollar on a 1:1 ratio and you can expecting that to reach $2  Roll Eyes

~
What's surprising is that in the midst of the banking crisis, Tether managed to retain its peg against the US Dollar. Other well-known stablecoins collapsed (mainly USDC and DAI) for a short period of time because of this. Either Tether is being heavily-manipulated on the market, or there's something else going on. With the issuing company (Bitfinex) adding new units of USDT to the supply, I'd take this stablecoin with a grain of salt.
It is heavily manipulated and minting new coins without any proof of backing and with all the issues with regulators and their claims that it is backed entirely was false and hence i will think twice holding them as a stable currency.

You can never trust something that's isn't officially backed by the government (with the exception of Bitcoin and some other decentralized coins). If stablecoins are banned by the US government, you can say goodbye to your money for good. Who knows how long will USDT last? Just my opinion Smiley
If a project is able to provide the audit report where everyone can verify regarding the actual money that is backed then you can trust them.

In the first match Mumbai Indians lost to CSK by 6 wickets and in the second match RCB lost to Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets. Where today's match was very important for RCB and Mumbai Indians. If Mumbai Indians and RCB could have won today's match, they would have been in a strong position to make it to the Super Four. 

Now the equation stands in such a way that the chances of these two teams going to the Super Four are very high.
The top order of Mumbai Indians is struggling and Rohit Sharma is struggling for the past few match and his last 4 scores are 2,3,0,0 and on a hattrick of ducks if he is out for a duck next time Cheesy. The positive aspect for CSK is that Devon Conway is in form and Ajinkya Rahane is in a rare mode this season as he is playing with more freedom.

This season is really tight and anyone could be in the top 4 as the season is still wide open as 4 teams share the same points.

Whether it was bitcoin pizza day or two waitress sisters fighting for their Bitcoin share, we have heard and read all the stories.
Laszlo used BTC where it was intended to do, purchased something which started the entire movement and it is a hallmark transaction.

Just came across a story about an investor who invested in meme coin, SHIBA INU. The investor named Damien Slash was one of the early adopters of SHIBA and he had invested around $2000 at the initial value.
There are several users that were there during the initial days in BTCitcoin and anyone could mine BTCitcoin with their personal computers and there are 100s of lost billionaires who had more than 50k BTC but sold everything before the first halving thinking that they made the best profit they could make and not knowing they could have made billions. So these kind of things usually happens in this market because it is an entirely new one.

Guys Ngannou already made a verbal agreement with PFL trust me. Wink
This will be one of the best MMA deals in history and he wanted for all fighters he fights with to benefit from this deal.
The difference here is verbal agreement which actually means nothing if you are a business owner. When PFL thinks that other promotions are after him, then Francis Ngannou will have the leverage to negotiate. With every major MMA promotions backing out of the deal Francis Ngannou does not have a choice other than signing with PFL and as a owner will you negotiate the same when all the major promotions are after a hot prospect or you play hard ball to squeeze the profit.

And then his expectation to fight a major PPV in boxing which is highly unlikely to happen in the near future as Tyson Fury and Usyk will be facing and Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua are in talks and those match up might have two or more fights in their agreement, so he might need to wait another couple of years and by that time the aura behind him will be over as age is catching up as well as he is already 36.

The Gujarat Titan bowling effort today particularly Rashid Khan 3 wickets in the match was remarkable. Although it would be intriguing to see how the rest of the match develops it appears that Gujarat Titan are currently in the lead. As they continue to perform well the betting odds may also be in their favour.
Rajasthan Royals needs to ask Devdutt Padikkal to open the innings as he has not performed well in the middle order and yet another disapponted innings from him and they lost 3 wickets within the first 7 overs and then Rashid Khan came and restricted one end and picked wicket and put a stamp on Rajasthan Royals and with a small total it was an easy target for Gujarat Titans and won easily.

So is the monthly bonus early this month as I am seeing this all over the Stake VIP telegram channels but I am not seeing it in my email so far or it will be as always in the middle of the month,I was surprised to see it as usually we get it from 13-16 day of the month but now is to early and there were big banners in those pages saying that Monthly bonus will be early this time.
Like you mentioned the monthly bonus is always sent by the second week of the month and users usually start trolling from the start to send out the bonus. Unless they mention during the live streaming every weekend, i am not expecting any change in that aspect .

I have enabled 2fa and in the past few days whenever i try to log in, there is a pop up showing that the captcha failed and there is no captcha popping up and have to click the log in button a few times to reach the 2fa page. Looks like some glitch and would like to know anyone having the same issue.

SRH should have won the game after coming so close to the target. KKR hopes for next round are once again alive. With one exception KKR wins are mostly against weak teams of the tournament. So there is rear chance that they can make it to next round.
For the most part i expected SRH to win the match but Varun Chakravarthy changed the match upside down from the 16th over by giving away just 4 runs and due to that in the very next over they lost Markram due to the pressure it created and then another tight over by Varun in the 18th over where he gave away just 5 runs and they lost another wicket in the second last over and another great final over by Varun.

Sad to say Chatri Sityodtong is backing out in signing Francis Ngannou, the idea for Francis Ngannou to be seen inside the ring or octagon is really blurred, I really don't know what is the matter anymore is it on Francis Ngannou's problem or the promoters problem because there aren't enough details about it
Chatri offered him $20 million guaranteed and it is a fact that even the UFC offered the highest amount for a Heavy Weight fighter and Francis Ngannou backed out of the deal from the UFC, so money is not the issue. Like i mentioned in another thread there are reports that claim that Ngannou asked for a seat in the directors board in OneFC which is ridiculous and hence they cannot meet those demands and backed out.

Imagine Conor McGregor demanding to be a part owner of UFC because he brings the most views to fight again  Cheesy.

~
As Ngannou is so boxing oriented, most probably we gonna see him in PFL, and he is going to have boxing fights there. Like a boxing fight between mma fights during event. Jake Paul is with PFL also, so it make sence that there are going to be boxing fights during mma events.
Bellator and OnceFC backed out and PFL is the only organization that is left and his leverage to negotiate is not that great considering there are not many MMA organization that would accept his insane demands.

I am certain that none of the boxing promoters will give a guaranteed purse worth millions to someone who is making his boxing debut and there is no boxing contract in place as the top boxers are busy with their fight schedule. Only possibility is, he might wait out until someone offers a deal or he might be doing exhibition bouts.

I recently saw a video of DC where he says that if John Jones wasn't using PEDs every time, he may wouldn't be able to beat him. And now, I was thinking about what's the sanction for Steroid usage in UFC and I'm really amazed, it starts from Public Warning to usually max 2 years suspension.
It is not a secret than Jon Jones likes to party and the first thing that was popped was benzoylecgonine which was a byproduct of cocaine. Second time popped for clomiphene and letrozole from a contaminated out of counter cialis pill and the third time for Turinabol and the levels that were in his system has no performance enhancing capabilities as per the USADA and now the rules have changed for certain levels because some of the athletes are getting punished for accidental dosage which have no enhancing capabilities from food and out of counter medicines. So you cannot really claim that Jon Jones was on steroid because he was never a muscular fighter rather he wins because of his talents.

I don't understand the logic here, one can abuse steroids for years, for example from 17 to 24 and then start fight in UFC. In 7 years with many cycles, one can gain a lot of strength and power, even if he has to come off from cycle forever, scientifically, past steroid user has a huge advantage over full natural guy, it has to do thing with permanent dna change, muscular memory, increased muscle-mind connection. What's the logic? Why isn't there stricter sanctions?
If someone is doping for this long then he will be having testosterone issues once he stops using PED so he needs to undergo TRT treatment and there is a reason TRT is not allowed and how the fighters who were undergoing them lost all their muscle mass like Vitor Belfort, Alistair Overeem, Rampage Jackson etc.


OneFC backs out of Francis Ngannou deal as he was not ready for a $20 million deal with them and reports are coming out that he wanted a position in the board of directors  Cheesy.

Hardik Pandya blistering 59 runs knock in just 53 balls was truly entertaining to watch but unfortunately he couldn't finish the match. Overall it was an intense and thrilling match of Cricket
Hardik Pandya did not play a blistering knock as he was finding it hard to connect the ball properly and hence he was not able to take the team to victory but Rahul Tewatia took the team closer and at one point thought he will produce another magic as he hit Anrich Nortje for 3 consecutive sixes but Ishant Sharma bowled a perfect final over by not giving any boundary balls.

Although these two batsmen are one of the key players of the team, LSG are batting towards their victory by relying on them.
When RCB failed to put a decent score on the board, i thought LSG would chase them easily but the pitch was the difference. I saw some huge bets put against under 147 runs for RCB and i thought it was ridiculous when RCB got a good start and once the wickets started to fall the runs dried out, i expected it to be a one sided match but LSG was not able to play sensibly and some of the players lost their wickets going for extraordinary shots when they could have rotated the strike and take on the loose balls.

My thought is, US legislation is brutally scared about bitcoin. They definitely thinking it could misplaced the American Dollar position from the market and give rise to another era of economics. They might be thinking they are losing the dollar value and it's world domination slowly. THese could be real aggreavitng factors. I am not sure what is the truth but such aggression was not expected from the top developed country like America.
There are other factors to worry for the US than BTCitcoin like Russia and China joining hands with Saudi Arabia and changing the stronghold narrative of dollar transaction for crude oil to their own currencies which will definitely undermine the dollar valuation and despite all the sanctions imposed on Russia there is no significant impact as Russia is smart enough to bypass them.

On top of that their banks are collapsing left and right, so instead of thinking about BTCitcoin they can focus on real things that are impacting their economy.

If PSG does not become the champion this year, we can expect the star players of the team to leave the team. Mbappe is in the first place.
Even if PSG wins the season, the star players will be moving on to other clubs with the way things are going as everyone wants to be the star player in the squad. Neymar might resume training in a month according to the reports and there are rumors that he might be moving to Manchester United and i wont be surprise if Lionel Messi moves to a club in Saudi and Join CR7 to continue their rivalry.

Incredible chase, welldone Punjab. Raza got titanium balls.

This one turned out to be quite a tight match, wasn't expecting from Punjab this kind of performance.
It was an unexpected performance by the entire Punjab team, Dhoni should promote himself up the order and face a few balls rather than holding back and Jadeja wasted many balls rather than looking for boundaries and Raza took the Dhoni route by taking the match to the last ball and Pathirana bowled a great 18th and final over.

Yashasvi Jaiswal played an incredible innings and scored a century that took RR to 212 and it is a huge task for MI considering Suryakumar Yadav is not in the best of form.

Edit: one hell of an innings by Tim David to take MI to victory.

Rodolfo Vieira didn't wait for him to be gassed out he has a solution to the problem and that is to finish Cody Brundage fast, but Rodolfo Viera in the interview that they are expecting Brundage to press the guillotine choke on him so he jumped and switched off to the triangle choke and that have gotten Cody Brundage to tap, in pain,
It was a really close fight when you asses the striking aspect, at one point i thought Cody Brundage would finish Rodolfo Vieira as he was rocked really hard multiple times and the referee could have called off the fight but the referee gave ample time and when it comes to the ground game Rodolfo Vieira was able to switch the positions when Brundage went for the guillotine and it was tight but his hands got tired and Vieira was able to survive, reverse the position and went for the finish.

What a shame, but still kudos reimbursing the users affected. I don't know how their handle was hacked, isn't 2fa is forcedrequired to every verified handle in twitter? How is it possible though to breach 2fa?
It is surprising that Kucoin is reimbursing users that lost money because of the hack in Twitter as majority might have sent money thinking that they are doubling the amount, the usual scam that takes place in this space Posted a phishing link in their Twitter handle and thereby lost money and hence they are doing the right thing by reimbursing the users.

The verification process in Twitter changed after Elon Musk took over as anyone paying $8 can get verified, so i doubt there will be mandatory 2 FA.

It is surprising that Kucoin is reimbursing users that lost money because of the hack in Twitter
I don't think that its surprising at all since their account got hacked due their own mistake and no one else's. Imho, its the least that they could so.
I retracted my statement because it was a phishing link, when i initially posted them i thought it was a doubling scam and they are doing the right thing.

Fact remains that, it is not safe to click on any random link when you log into exchange even through their official social media handle. Users need to be responsible when financial assets are at stake to avoid these mishaps.

If Delhi Capitals can still ensure proper use of the remaining overs, then Delhi Capitals still have a chance to win this match. Moreover, Delhi Capitals have lost only 3 wickets so they need to play big short. But they are failing there. Delhi Capitals' performance in this tournament has been very poor due to which they are still at the bottom of the points table. In today's 40th match, Sunrisers Hyderabad set a target of 197 runs, which is very difficult for Delhi Capitals to win this match.
Delhi Capitals usually does not use the remaining overs like we expect because they are struggling big time and even in this chase they already lost their 6th wicket and they still need 47 runs from 16 balls and Axar Patel is in the crease and it is highly unlikely they will be able to chase them unless we see some extraordinary striking from Axar Patel and their position at the bottom of the table will stand.
