Turkey ( or Türkiye ) has dropped opposition to Sweden Finland joining NATO after getting written agreement from both on siding with Turkey on PKK issue. Like him or hate him but Erdogan is good at diplomacy, he got exactly what he wanted this would help him domestically in elections next year.

Putin was an average rank intelligence officer his political career was bolstered by the Chechnyan War which was triggered after the Moscow bombings in 99. Largely believed that Putin orchestrated the attacks himself.

In Federal system province/states have more autonomy and independent of central govt. Federal generates money and states are free how they spend their share. In unitary not so much autonomy for second tiers of govt and what power they have is exercised under instruction of centre.

Putin should be on twitter

All of TF365

Germany the exception in Europe being a federation. China for obvious reasons a big country being unitary. Some other huge countries like Saudis, Iran, Kazakhstan being unitary despite their size but they're population wise small so I bet it works well for them.

And a special shout out to the child miners in Congo

In Arabia blood money of one human life was equal to 100 camels. This custom came from a legend of a tribe chief who had no sons for which he was ridiculed by others. He made a plea to God to give him 10 sons and vowed to sacrifice his 10th. He did fathered 10 sons and wanted to fulfill his promise but was stopped by others as it would be insulting and bad precedent for a tribe chief. Soothsayers told him to sacrifice 10 camels each time instead to fulfill the promise until 100 camels were sacrificed.

2006 was the last World Cup that had quality sides and entertainment, either one has been missing since then.

The Face of Ka'aper. Wooden statue of a scribe from ancient Egypt dated around 2500 BC. The eyes are made from rock crystal and copper. Compare this to the shit statues of footballers they make these days.

Same in the sense that it has a fixed rate but its not for the religious body to take, you own wealth or certain assets which liquefied exceed a standard and count as surplus, a year passed on and you still posses that surplus then you distribute a % of it to the needy.

That pillar thing is what you give on your surplus wealth over a year, its like a tax than a donation. A private affair, don't have to show in any record. Salah and Mane are doing way more than that, not complaining though

Most products, specially electronics mention where they are assembled also as services provided by assemblers are important too

If there should be this nitpicking on goods production process it should then have all the details Exploited from Congo Gas from Russia Made in China Made by Apple

Made by Apple Made in China

Geez, nitpicking on the word 'make'. By that logic China doesn't "makes" iPhones.

Self-explanatoey that its talking about factories. They shifted to Thailand, China etc but didn't get the same feedback on balls as made by Pakistani factories so their top stuff is focused there. And its not just Adidas that has enterprises there.
