20 years ago, this classic album was released. The first album in, if not the greatest, then one of the greatest Hip Hop album series. This was a pivotal album for not only Weezy as an artist or Cash Money as a label, but for Southern Hip Hop overall. The South was on the verge of taking over the game at this time but still overlooked when it came to lyricism. This was the album that started one of the most iconic runs in Hip Hop #LilWayne #ThaCarter

Atomic car: a secret Soviet project

In 1965, Soviet scientists released a Volga Atom car with an atomic engine with a capacity of 320 horsepower (a lot for that time) for testing. The motor weighed 500 kilograms, so there were not 2 wheels in front, but 4. Such a car could not be refueled for a very long time. Tests have shown that Volga Atom drives 60,000 kilometers without refueling. It turned out that after that the motor needs to be changed to a new one. But Soviet scientists corrected this problem, they created an engine with gaseous fuel in the form of uranium hexafluoride instead of solid uranium, and the new version of the car drove 40,000 kilometers without refueling. For refueling, it was now enough to pump a new supply of uranium hexafluoride into the cylinders and the car drove on.

When Khrushchev retired, the machines were dismantled, and research in this area stopped.

These are the Muse Brothers. Their biological names are George and Willie Muse. They were two albino brothers; the grandsons of former blàck American slàves and sons of a tobacco sharecroppers born in Roanoke, Virginia, in the 1890’s.

In 1899 George and Willie Muse were kidn@pped as boys in Truevine, Virginia by bounty hunters and were forced into the circus, labeled as “frèak show” performers. Upon their càpture, they were falsely told that their mother was dèad and that they would never return home .

Their owners showcased the brothers in circuses where they were exploited for profit in so-called freak shows. The Muse Brothers became famous across the United States as “Eko and Iko”, the “White Ecuadorian C@nnibals”, the “Sheep Headed Men”, the “Sheep Headed C@nnibals”, the “Ministers from Dahomey” and “Ambassadors from Mars”.

George and Willie were forced to grow their hair into massive “dreadlocks“ which together with their white skin and blùish eyes were exhibited as ràrities. They were also billed as “Darwin’s Missing Links” and “Nature’s Greatest Mistakes”. The boys were not permitted to go to school, neither were they paid for their work. They were literally kept in slàvery, earning nothing despite thousands of people who paid to see them. Their only rewards were clownish attire they wore for the shows and food meant to keep the ‘assets’ alive.

One of their owners had found that George and Willie harboured the ability to play any song on almost any instrument, from the xylophone to the saxophone and mandolin, and that made them even more famous and more valuable ‘assets’ to owners of travelling circuses. However, after all this time, their illitèrate mother had not ceased looking for her boys.

In the fall of 1927, the brothers were on a tour with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey to Roanoke, little did the boys know they were coming home from which they had disàppeared nearly three decades back. It came to their mother’s attention that the Greatest Show On Earth are performing by her own sons.

"LEARN TO SAY NO MANY TIMES OVER"

This guy opened a store and all his friends, family and neighbors bought there and asked for credit.
Few years later, this is all that's left. Sometimes we say yes when we should have said no.

You say yes thinking you're helping people but actually you're losing and giving your hard work and sacrifice, then everyone turns their back on you. Don't Always Say Yes...

Invest in your business and save, be smart, don't let everything be lost. A word is enough for the wise
