They constantly say education is the key to success but in my country today many graduates don't have a job, and most of them are still fed by their parents, and that's not the way it's supposed to be.
If a graduate does not have a job, how can an uneducated person even survive in conditions like these, you need to understand that the job market is getting competitive and that is a problem everyone is facing all over the world, only the best talent is getting the opportunity especially in countries where the population is higher and not much job opportunities.

You need to develop your skill level along with your education so that you can start your own business to survive in the future rather than relying on others to give you the job opportunity.

It was really a bummer for most of my bets lost but it was OK the thing that I get frustrated about was the Nikita Krylov vs. Ryan Spann canceled fight because Krylov become ill and the Jasmine Jasudavicius vs. Cortney Casey because Cortney Casey withdrew,
There were too many cancelled bouts which was a bummer and Jasmine Jasudavicius fought Gabriella Fernandes which was a short notice replacement, the main frustration is the André Muniz fight, who is coming into the bout with wins against Ronaldo Souza, Uriah Hall and he was no way near those caliber after watching the fight against Brendan Allen which i thought would be an easy pick and that pick messed my parlay  Cry.

Andre Muniz was really good with the stand-up and pretty much getting those clean shots on Brandon Allen but after that kick, Allen timed it to catch Muniz off guard then the takedown, commence then all of a sudden Muniz gave his back that Brendan Allen capitalized and so the rear naked choke was executed on him,
No Andre Muniz was not great in stand up as well, Brendan Allen won the first round just with stand up alone and in the second round Brendan Allen was controlling the positions and when Muniz tried to take down, Brendan Allen reversed the position which makes me think that i overestimated Andre Muniz Embarrassed.

Shabnim Ismail bowled well and I'm happy that the host team is able to reach the finals. Lets see whether the host team is able to win the title.
I wanted to see South Africa winning the World Cup and breaking the curse they have especially with the Men's team, but to defeat Australia which is way ahead of every other team is an impossible factor because they have the best batsman and bowlers and their fielding is incredible and even if one player fails to perform the other steps up their game just like the old Australian Men's team.

Welterweight title fight is amazing with Yaroslav Amosov that has perfect 26-0 MMA record and Logan Storley that only has one defeat in his carrier.
Amosov is favorite to win and I think he can do it, he has reach advantage and he was already better than Logan by split decision in 2020.
The fights are live, the fights i picked for a parlay along with the UFC event was Khasan Magomedsharipov who won easily as expected because of his Dagestan wrestling background and Darragh Kelly who is undefeated and fighting a newcomer and building his reputation and experience and a lot of John Kavanagh students in this fight card but waiting for the main card to watch as a fan.

The way Kiwis are struggling nowadays, it is safe to say that with some luck their peak moment was last WTC final and now trajectory on a downtrend.

Soon Sri Lanka will play 2 match series against them. Can Lankans do the same to kiwis? Ofc they won't be as effective and threatening as Poms but they can think about some sort of upset as kiwis are looking weak.  
New Zealand is struggling against the top teams but when they face Sri Lanka they wont be struggling like they are struggling against England but it is definitely an opportunity for Sri Lanka to qualify for the WTC final if they can defeat New Zealand in both the matches and if Australia looses 4-0 against India, Sri Lanka will get the opportunity.

I do not like people who you can buy with money, lets remember that if you can buy someone with money for these, you can do much worse things against humanity and just pay some more as well, once paid to sush, always will be paid to sush. In any case, he is definitely bringing global attention to the league, the entire tv rights amount increased just because he is here, imagine the power, dude is just another level compared to any other player aside from Messi.
I am not sure whether you are thinking what you are complaining about, you are wearing a gambling based signature and complaing about sports personalities getting paid to play for the clubs Cheesy.

whoever offering them the most money, they will be joining those clubs and it is going on as long as sporting events are conducted and considering Cristiano Ronaldo is 38 years old and $213 million is a huge amount by any standards and what is wrong in that. He is not involved in politics, he is a sportsman and let him play as long as he wants.

Breezing through some of the facts concerning Bitcoin, it became clear that businesses could influence the price of these cryptocurrency by making it a mode of payment for purchases of products or services. Making it more popular and making more people invest in them.
The cryptocurrency market is in a position that we do not need further adoption by companies to get people to check what BTCitcoin is all about, we are way past those thresholds and anyone in the financial sector is well aware of the cryptocurrency market. The main aspect that moves the price is always institutional investment and moving forward, institutional investors will determine the major price movement.

So the miracle finally took place, and the final will be between SA and Australia now. As SA just won the semi-final by 6 runs. Outstanding bowling by Ayabonga Khaka and Shabnim. Ayabonga Khaka got 4 while Shabnim got 3 wickets. England were favorite until Nat Sciver-Brunt was bowled out and that's the turning point of the game. Big task for South Africa ahead as its not easy to beat Australia. Can they create history in the final?
It is a big upset from South Africa and the first South African team to reach a World Cup final. I missed the match and i never expected this upset as they were a heavy underdog among bookies as well and despite all odds they reached the final and i am rooting for them to come up with another upset and lift the World Cup but beating Australia is a huge task as they are dominating the Woman's game for decades.

Indian fans will regret about those two overs, and Australian fans will consider those overs as a turning point of the match. I thought India will manage to win the match when 20 runs were needed in the last two overs. Anyway, England women's team is quite favourite in the second semi final. Now the betting odds is 1.22× for England and 4× for South Africa win. The final should be between Australia and England women's team.
The untimely and unfortunate runout of Harmanpreet Kaur where her bat was stuck when she tried to drag the bat to the crease and she was batting well changed the match upside down. Ellyse Perry was incredible in the field, saving many boundaries during crucial moments and taking some good catches and Australia was in great form as usual and they will be the champions with the way they are playing.

There is a very high chance of betting being made illegal, match fixing will increase. Because the bookies are not going to be able to find the money legally that they got from betting. So they are going to push toward match fixing.
Match fixing is possible in lower leagues but in the top leagues where the players earn huge compensation, it is highly unlikely that players would be willing to risk their career for some pocket change because once you are caught you get a blanket ban on competing again. In Cricket we saw some scandals in the past and all of those players were banned and with the money involved right now, none of the players would risk that and jeopardize their career.

India was on a good position when Jemimah Rodrigues was in the crease as she was in great form and striking the ball and was unfortunately out while trying for a upper cut above the keeper and Harmanpreet Kaur was playing really well and unfortunately was run out while dragging the bat, it was stuck on the ground and now India needs 38 runs in 24 balls as they lost another wicket, Australia is fighting back and hopefully India can challenge them.

Bitcoin really said "fuck you, Starcraft" in the upcoming days. Imagine listing the dollar as prize in the first three places, and then for the poor little guy who came fourth, 25 useless "BitCoins". "He can't spend them anywhere!" they must have said.  Grin
It is the other way around, giving out BTCitcoin was a promotion to the world when barely anyone knew about the cryptocurrency space, so no, it was not an useless gesture to give out 25BTC for the person who came fourth but an introduction to the gaming community about BTCitcoin which was huge back then.

Never underestimate these gestures which was huge back then as a laughing stock after a decade Smiley.

The same goes for women's cricket as well in that country. They have talented players including Jahanara Alam and Nigar Sultana. But this time they failed to win even a single match.
The problem with the Bangladesh Women's team is that they need players who can score at a good strike rate. They are reserving their wickets but they are not scoring a good run rate and in T20 you need players who can score runs quickly and their fielding needs to improve, even in their last match against South Africa if they were able to take the catches that were offered things would have been interesting rather than surrendering completely .

The Semi final list is completed. India and Australia will be facing and it is a tough match for India as Australia is dominating Women's Cricket for a long time and India needs a miracle performance from the players to get into the final. The second Semi finals will be played between England and South Africa and England would be going into the final and my prediction is England and Australia playing the final and Australia once again lifting the World Cup.

Tommy is also sort of a celebrity, Jake keeps chasing Tommy because of it also since he knows this will add to his popularity. But he may struggle to fight, Tommy is a real boxer and not a retired MMA. One KO loss for Jak, the jokes on him and he may really stop this circus act.
The circus act was able to book his own fights and not depend upon other promoters from the start and thus paving a way to other new comers who have the talent to promote themselves can follow the same path rather than relying on the third party promoter who takes the major chunk of the money the fighters make. Tommy is a boxer but remember he failed to show two times before, so this is not the fault of Jake Paul as boxers were avoiding him and hence he was matching with retired MMA fighters.

Santos might be the most logical next step for her, since that was the original match up. However, I think she's ready for Shevchenko. Her submission skills are some of the best, and I knew that if it got to the ground she'd have a chance. However, she actually did pretty good work on the feet too. Didn't look too fazed by the attacks from Andrade. Shevchenko is a lot more technical, but isn't as ferocious as Andrade so we at least now know Erin can deal with that sort of pressure, and she did it in style.

Considering, her relatively short UFC career, and young age she might actually be in for a long period at the top, a bit like Shevchenko.
I was impressed with Erin Blanchfield but i still doubt she can be competitive against Valentina Shevchenko because she is too technical in her strikes and a well rounded fighter in the ground.

The biggest failure was the debut of Khusein Askhabov, who was an undefeated fighter with 23 fights and he was outclassed by Jamall Emmers which begs the question whether all of his opponents were cans to have an undefeated record this long  Cheesy.

Tbh this Australian inning reminds me of our 36 all out accident, we played some braindead cricket there and the Aussies just returned the favor. Ofc bowling was good in both matches but dumb batting helped in a big way.
Aussie players never had a good defense and their only solution to counter spin was sweeps and reverse sweeps and they lost all their wickets trying to do something that is unconventional and will not work in these sort of pitches Cheesy.

Also good to see KL taking care of the Australian lead singlehandedly by scoring 1 run.
KL needs some rest after that contribution, give some youngsters the chance to play.

I think he is the only ex-cricketer who telling the truth about KL Rahul. In a series of tweets just a few hours back he gave KL Rahul multiple options to regain his lost form. Then in the end he asked him in a cryptic way whether he can skip this year's IPL to get his form back.
He is doing so because his private conversation were made public and he is trying to defend that stance in a way he knows best  Cheesy.  Venkatesh Prasad has a point thought, India has a lot of young talents waiting to get a position in the team and KL Rahul is given more opportunities to perform in the longer format. In the shorter format he is performing but not in Test for a long time.

A lot of people are taking about Ihsanullah of the Multan Sultans. So far he has taken 10 wickets from just 3 PSL matches, at an average of 7.30. He had figures of 4-1-12-5 against the Quetta Gladiators (picked up the wickets of Sarfaraz Ahmed, Jason Roy and Iftikhar Ahmed). BTW, this is not his first season with the PSL. He bowled one over during last season against the Karachi Kings, but then he got injured. During the match against Zalmi, his top speed was measured at 150 kmph. He has the potential to work on his pace and take the speed to >155 kmph, which will make the lives of opposition batsmen quite difficult. PCB need to groom this player and make sure that he stays away from injuries.
After hearing about the hype around Ihsanullah from your post, i went through the match highlights and he does have a good bowling action and a good in swinger. Was going through some articles about the player in cricinfo as well where it claims that he used to bowl around 130 kmph and after returning from injury he started bowling express pace. Normally the opposite does happen, all the pacers reduce their speed when  they get injured, if he is well guided and groomed properly he will be an asset for the national side.
