Portugal and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is at the center of a sordid battle between sorcerers, with one trying to ruin him on behalf of a spurned lover and another to save him, according to reports in Portuguese newspapers.
“A rich foreign woman who was betrayed” has paid a Spaniard nicknamed Pepe to ensure Ronaldo gets his just deserts, Correio da Manha daily said.
Ronaldo, who is often photographed with a beautiful young woman on his arm, is currently carrying an ankle injury, and the sorcerer Pepe is claiming credit for it.
Pepe was pictured holding a black wax doll and a photo of the Real Madrid forward with his name scrawled across it.
The sorcerer has refused to identify the scorned woman he claims has already paid him 15,000 euros, Correio da Manha said.
“She paid me to end Cristiano Ronaldo’s career and I’m doing that,” Pepe was quoted as saying.
“It’s a job, I have nothing against him personally, but I’ll see it through,” he added.
The daily 24 Horas, which carried the same story, said another “fetisher” called Fernando Nogueira, known as the “sorcerer Fafe” was contacted by “someone very close” to Ronaldo “to counter the black magic of this so-called Spanish sorcerer.”
Fafe, while casting doubt on the powers of his rival, told the paper he had “burnt candles next to a photo of Ronaldo to put an end to what is being done, if it is true.”
Ronaldo has said he expects to shake off the ankle injury.(AFP)
葡萄牙報紙報導，葡萄牙國家隊暨西班牙皇家馬德里隊球星克里斯提諾．羅納度，正夾在兩名巫師的齷齪角力中，其中一人受雇於被他甩掉的前女友，試圖要毀掉他，另一人則要救他。
葡萄牙日報《早晨郵報》報導，「遭小羅納度背叛的一名外籍富家女」，僱用了一名綽號「沛佩」的西班牙巫師，要讓他受到應有的懲罰。
經常被拍到摟著年輕美女的小羅納度目前腳踝受傷，巫師沛佩宣稱這是他的巫術所致。
沛佩被拍到手拿一個黑色的蠟像娃娃和一張小羅納度的照片，照片上潦草地寫著這名皇馬隊前鋒的名字。
《早晨郵報》報導，這名巫師拒絕透露他雇主的姓名，他表示已經收到一萬五千歐元的委託費。
報導中引述沛佩的話說：「她付錢請我終結小羅納度的足球生涯，而我正著手進行。」
他補充說：「這是我的工作，我個人對他毫無敵意，但我會完成這項工作。」
也報導同一則新聞的《二十四小時報》指出，小羅納度的「密友」請了一名本名費南度．諾蓋亞、綽號「法菲巫師」的「魔法師」，來「對抗那位聲稱是西班牙巫師的妖術」。
法菲對他對手的法術抱持懷疑態度，他接受該報採訪時表示，他已「在一張小羅納度的照片旁放了點燃的蠟燭，藉此幫他解除咒語，如果真有此事的話」。
小羅納度表示，他希望腳踝的傷勢儘快復原。（法新社╱翻譯：袁星塵)
In an effort to fight phone scams, British mobile phone company O2 has introduced Daisy, an AI designed to engage phone con artists in time-wasting conversations. Daisy is portrayed as a kindly British granny, exploiting scammers’ tendency to target the elderly. Her voice, based on a real grandmother’s for authenticity, adds to her credibility in the role. “O2” has distributed several dedicated phone numbers online to direct scammers to Daisy instead of actual customers. When Daisy receives a call, she translates the scammers’ spoken words into text and then responds to them accordingly through a text-to-speech system. Remarkably, Daisy
Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 Emma had reviewed 41 resumes that morning. While the ATS screened out 288 unqualified, she screened for AI slop. She could spot it a mile away. She muttered AI buzzwords like curses under her breath. “Team player.” “Results-driven.” “Stakeholder alignment.” “Leveraging core competencies.” Each resume reeked of AI modeling: a cemetery of cliches, tombstones of personality. AI wasn’t just changing hiring. It was draining the humanity from it. Then she found it: a plain PDF cover letter. No template. No design flourishes. The first line read: “I once tried to automate my
Every May 1, Hawaii comes alive with Lei Day, a festival celebrating the rich culture and spirit of the islands. Initiated in 1927 by the poet Don Blanding, Lei Day began as a tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing leis. The idea was quickly adopted and officially recognized as a holiday in 1929, and leis have since become a symbol of local pride and cultural preservation. In Hawaiian culture, leis are more than decorative garlands made from flowers, shells or feathers. For Hawaiians, giving a lei is as natural as saying “aloha.” It shows love and
