Smart Quotes and Dumb Apostrophes
Modern technology has brought wondrous improvements to our lives, but in some cases it does humanity a disservice. Take for example the sad plight of the neglected and misunderstood apostrophe, victimized by so-called smart quotes.
This injustice came about because quotation marks take on different shapes depending on whether they're opening (") or closing ("). Both were represented on old-timey typewriters by all-purpose straight quotes, also known as inch marks. Nowadays our keyboards still have that single key, but we rely on software to auto-replace straight quotes into proper "curly" quotation marks. The context-sensitive smart quotes feature detects adjacent spaces to deduce whether opening or closing quotes are called for.
This automated practice works out well in the correct rendering of quotation marks, applying to standard double quotation marks as well as the less common single quotation marks. But the problem is, an innocent bystander got caught up in this typographical shuffle: our friend the apostrophe.
Despite their resemblance and shared spot on the keyboard, the apostrophe is not the same thing as the single quotation mark. They are two entirely different punctuation symbols. Single quotes are limited to one real function in written U.S. English, which is to indicate a quotation within a quotation. Apostrophes, on the other hand, are used to denote possessive form and to indicate omission.
But – and this is the crucial point for this discussion – the apostrophe does not change. It has one form, which coincides with the appearance of the closing single quotation mark, shaped like a 9 ('). There is never, ever any circumstance under which the apostrophe should have the 6-shaped form of the opening single quotation mark. Apostrophes are like the balladeer in "Free Bird" – Lord knows they can't change.
Unfortunately, the indiscriminate terror known as smart quotes does not recognize this basic truth of punctuation. Most apostrophes appear in the middle of a word, so the auto-correction safely renders them as closing single quotation mark. But when an apostrophe comes at the start of a word, we've got serious trouble.
You'll see this apostrophe abuse in the abbreviation of years, like the '96 campaign or the '80s. Or with certain contractions, as in Give 'em hell. Smart quotes logic anticipates that we're starting off a phrase enclosed in single quotes, but we're not – we're indicating an omission. So smart quotes gets it wrong. To lead off a word with a real apostrophe, you either have to know the obscure key command to produce it (option-shift-right bracket?), or outsmart your smart quotes by typing two apostrophes and carefully deleting the erroneous first one.
It's ironic that we have to put so much effort into writing a punctuation mark that was never supposed to change its shape in the first place. And it can be a pain to keep up with. But until the apostrophe gets its own key on the keyboard, away from those rowdy quotation marks, we'll just have to manage. To help make it easier to recognize the damage wrought by smart quotes, I have coined my own rhyming mnemonic device, Trull's Law of Apostrophes:

A concert to celebrate six decades of hit singles by Sir Cliff Richard, Wired For Sound is a must see for the ultimate Cliff Richard musical experience when you can't see the real Cliff. Featuring multi award winning Jimmy Jemain as Cliff Richard together with a sensational band this show recreates the Cliff Richard concert experience.
Jimmy Jemain, who won TV's 'Stars in Their Eyes' 30 years ago, is widely recognised as the number one Cliff tribute artist, with Cliff himself commenting "Spot on, a bit too good". The Daily Mirror write that Jemain "Talks, walks, looks and sings like Cliff Richard". In 2018 Jimmy won the National Music Tribute Awards for the best male tribute artist. The following year 2019 he won a lifetime achievement award.
As The Shadows played an important part in the early years, no show reflecting on the career of Sir Cliff would be complete without some of their music included in the show.

Shy FX crashed the British pop charts in mid-1994 with "Original Nuttah", one of the most infectious Ragga-Jungle anthems of all time and quickly became one of Jungle's most respected producers. Born in London, Andre Williams debuted on S.O.U.R. Records (Sound Of The Underground) with two singles, "Gangsta Kid" and "Sound Of The Beast", in 1994. His third for the label, "Original Nuttah," perfectly epitomized Jungle's growing Ragga-Ruffneck style, with a light-speed rhythm track and rude-boy scatting from UK Apachi. Almost immediately after its release, the single ignited dance clubs, flew out of the stores, and eventually made the British charts.
Shy FX started his own Ebony label soon after, releasing more classic Jungle tunes like "The Message" and "Wolf". His 1997 "Bambaata" was hailed as tune of the year. Shy started a couple of offshoots such as Ivory (catering for no-nonsense rollers) and Naughty But Nice (for the funkier end of his productions).
But this is his collaborative work with T Power that had so far the biggest impact, mixing their highly credible brand of drum and bass with a strong pop sensibility, with "Shake Ur Body" in 2001 - released on EMI subsidiary Positiva - that made him a household name. It was followed by an album on FFRR "Set It Off" the following year. Shy FX decide to fold all his label to concentrate on a new Digital Soundboy venture in 2005, releasing so far a Shy FX and T Power album "Diary Of A Digital Soundboy", as well a providing a choice platform for promising young artists such as Benny Page and Visionary.


On on our new homepage video, we list the most common questions we get asked. They include: what do we do when we see pirates, what's the best boat to go cruising in, how much does it cost to buy a boat/live the cruising life, how do we do our passage plans, what's it like sailing in storms and sailing at night, what's life like for a kid on a boat (homeschooling and socialization), how do we manage our provisioning and cooking, how do we run a blog/youtube channel/social media (and make money) from remote locations and how can we help you to convince your partner to go sailing. Get all these questions answered about liveaboard life below.
What do we do when we see Pirates?
This is one of the top three questions we get asked. In the five years we've been sailing we've never seen any pirates. We've heard of only a couple cases and in each instance, the 'Pirates' boarded the boat, took what they could and left the passengers alone. 'Pirates' are usually located near countries where the people are very poor and in some cases starving.
Currently, Venezuela is a country near us to stay away from.
There were reports of robbers back in 2015 but nothing serious has been reported for a while. We've sailed down to Trinidad and felt safe. You can see Venezuela from Trinidad. There's a heavy naval presence there and it is advisable to make sure you let the Coast Guard know when your coming and going so they can keep track of you.
Otherwise, in the Med and the Caribbean, we never ran into any trouble. We've never even seen refugee's trying to cross international waters although we did hear over the radio that they were in our area.
For the most part, we've never gone anywhere near places where Pirates have been reported.
So 99.9% of the time there's been absolutely nothing to worry about. There are far more serious things to spend time on – preparing for engine failure and knowing what to do when caught in storms come to mind.
What's the best boat to go cruising in?
The answer is, 'it depends!' It depends on where you're going to sail, who you're sailing with (how many able bodies you'll have to help sail the boat), what your preferences are and of course there's that small issue regarding the budget to contend with.
How much does it cost to buy a boat?
To answer the question as to how much it costs to buy a boat, you need to figure out what you want, when you want it, where you want to sail it (and several other key decisions).
The best way for me to help you is to tell you about all the costs associated with buying, maintaining and sailing a boat and you can then fill in the blanks.
I offer a short but powerful guide that will help you do such a thing. It's called Boat Buying: Boat Ownership Costs. Here are some examples of what it lists.
As with all my guides, if you don't find that the information provided highly valuable, I will happily refund your money. No questions asked. Buy the guide now!
Passage Plans – How do we plan our passages?
Check out my Passage Planning – 7 Steps Checklist (Video included) for a run down as to how we plan our passages. We offer our thought process, why we do what we do and how we do it. We also include the navigational software we use in addition to weather forecasting.
And if you've seen any of our YouTube videos you'll know that a great majority of them show Simon planning our passages from one island to the next. If you're going to sail the Caribbean, make sure to watch all our Caribbean videos to get the full scoop on how we planned our passages. Watch our Caribbean Playlist here.
Gosh, storms are not fun! We've been caught out in some big storms around four times in five years. The first was our maiden voyage on Britican from Palma Mallorca to Gibraltar. Sienna and I laid in bed the whole time wishing we were dead. I puked up loads. You can actually watch a video we did during that passage here. (This is one of my first videos and I'm not even holding the camera right! It's really bad but you'll get an idea of what it was like…) Bad weather hits around 3:53 in the video.
Our third worst storm was from Gibraltar to Morocco to prepare to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
This storm was horrendous. Our guest, Richard, sailed with us for a couple weeks. Most of the experience was great…but he did experience a storm too. It's worth reading his account because he never sailed before and it's an outsider's opinion on what storms are like. Check Richards account here.
Simon did a video about Sailing in Storms too. Check that out here.
What can I say about storms that sum it all up? They happen. The best thing to do is to be prepared. Understand what you have to do to make you and the boat as safe and comfortable as possible and then get on with it.
Sailing at night is great. It's far easier to sail at night than it is during the day. At night you can see all the boats around. And there's nothing major going on so it's very relaxing.
Read my account about night sailing here.
Homeschooling on a boat and social life for a kid!
Well, homeschooling on a boat is just like homeschooling on land accept it's a bit more challenging. Around 50% of the time we do not have Internet access so we can't do any online schooling systems. I have to buy books and usually, I send them to guests who fly out with them or I stock up when I return to the US or the UK.
Let me give you some articles/videos that you can look at regarding how we do homeschooling aboard Britican…and what it's like to be a boat kid.
What does a boat kid get up to? Here's a video of Sienna when she was five-years-old. It goes through the sights she saw, the friends she made, how she played and loads more. It's a great video to show to a kid as to what boat life is like. Watch on YouTube here.
Homeschooling a five-year-old This article is an update after 1 1/2 years of cruising as to how homeschooling was going for us. Find out what wall I hit and how I changed course?! Read here.
Voyaging With Kids: This is a video about project based learning. Sienna wanted to make some money so she started a company. Find out what she wanted the money for, what her product was and whether she made any sales. Watch now.
Voyaging With Kids – A Treasure Hunt. This video on You Tube is a treasure hunt that our boat neighbor made for our daughter. It's shows a lovely relationship between our daughter and Captain Brad. Boat kids don't just play with their peers…they have friends of all ages. Sienna has been blessed with so many very cool friends.
And if you watch any of our traveling videos Sienna always plays a part. A more recent video that shows a lot of kid activities is our Bequia, St Vincent Video. There were loads of kid boats around!
Looking through all my articles I haven't written enough about provisioning. I've added it to my list so watch this space!
Regarding cooking, we have a whole section on the website dedicated to things we cook. I've really gotten into using the solar cooker to cook with too. If you've never heard of a solar cooker, it's amazing. You can actually cook with the sun! Head over to Britican's Galley to find out more about solar cooking and great boat recipes.
How do I run a blog, YouTube Channel, social media? How do I make money?
There's two sides to this question. The first is how do we connect to the Internet and the second is how do we make it all work. I have a guide entitled, 'How To Make Money Sailing Around The World' and that goes through all the ways that we earn money. The guide, however, is currently under a re-draft so watch this space. It will be back up soon. If you're interested in the guide, email me at Kim@SailingBritican.com and I'll send you a copy when it's ready.
How can I help you convince your wife to do what we do?


A sketch of what the transgender woman found dead in Lake County in 1988 may have looked like.
Lake County sheriff's detectives are hoping that sending off items found with a transgender woman's body 30 years ago for DNA testing could spur some leads in the cold case and possible identify the woman.
The case was recently turned upside down on when a lab reexamined the remains and found the body had the DNA of a male. However, the person lived as a woman.
Detectives released a new sketch of what the woman, whom they call "Julie Doe," may have looked like but despite a few leads, nothing has led to her identity.
Detective Tamara Dale said she sent items found with the body to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's lab in Tallahassee for DNA testing. She said the results can take several weeks but might offer some leads in the case.
"I'm hoping there will be foreign DNA on her clothing and if so interview that person as someone who would have had contact with Julie near the time of her death," Dale said.
In 1988, the body was found decomposing in the woods near the Four Corners area along County Road 474. She was found wearing a greenish tank top and a long acid-washed skirt with pantyhose that were partially rolled down. She also had long manicured nails, long dyed blonde hair and was about 5 foot 11.
Her remains were sent to the C.A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory in Gainesville shortly after where it was incorrectly determined the remains belonged to a woman who had likely given birth to one or more children.
The remains recently were re-tested with new technology as part of a statewide initiative to revisit unsolved cases and it was discovered to have been a transgender woman.
The person was found with breast implants and was taking hormone drugs, which led to the misidentification in 1988. She is estimated as being between 24 and 33 years old.
"I would love to identify Julie so she can have a proper burial and so her friends and family can have closure on their missing loved one," Dale said. "I don't think anyone should have to lie unidentified in a laboratory while their family wonders what happened to them."
People with information about this case can call the Lake County Sheriff's Office at 352-343-2101 or Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

It's perhaps a bit cheeky of Rekcahdam - "Composer-Musician-Hacker-IndieGameDeveloper-Philanthropist" and, on his birth certificate, Roger Hicks - to embed a link to Celestial Mechanica' s Bandcamp page within the game itself, but when he's just released the game for free, and that excellent soundtrack for a measly dollar, I'm ready to forgive him just about anything. Celestial Mechanica is a snappy exploration puzzle platformer - think Eternal Daughter meets Knytt - featuring wonderful music and pixel art, courtesy of Hicks and Super Crate Box artist Paul Veer.
If you're wondering where you know Hicks from, he also did the soundtrack for the similarly free Zelda-a-like Seedling . Hicks and Veer are currently working on an expanded version of Celestial Mechanica, which will be around 2.5 times bigger than this now-free now-taster version of the game.
Hicks thanks everyone who purchased Celestial Mechanica - "because of you guys I have food to eat and money to develop my next big project!" - but if you've paid money for it in the last two months and you're annoyed that it's now free, he's offering to "send you something for your troubles!" Which is awfully nice of him. You can grab the game here , for gratis.

Q: C++ how to use strtok in this case I am trying to split the following, I need to split it by the function strtok and i wanna obtain the value 1.2597, take note that Down is a dynamic word which can be change. I understand in this case i can use white space as my delimiter, and get the value [1] which is the currency, but how do i go around with it.
CCY   1.2597 Down 0.0021(0.16%) 14:32 SGT   [44]

A: This should do it:
char *first = strtok(string, ' ');
char *second = strtok(0, ' ');

If you want to convert the number to a float or double you could also use sscanf:
char tmp[5];
float number;
sscanf(string, "%s %f", tmp, &number);

Or just use sscanf on the number token that you got with strtok.

A: You can use Boost.Regex to easily and safely achieve this task:
// use a regular expression to extract the value
std::string str("CCY 1.2597 Down 0.0021(0.16%) 14:32 SGT [44]");
boost::regex exp("CCY (\\d+\\.\\d+)");
boost::match_results<std::string::const_iterator> match;
boost::regex_search(str, match, exp);
std::string match_str(res[1].first, res[1].second)

// convert the match string to a float
float f = boost::lexical_cast<float>(match_str);
std::cout << f << std::endl;

A: A sequence of calls to this function split str into tokens, which are sequences of contiguous characters separated by any of the characters that are part of delimiters.
Example:
char str[] = "now # is the time for all # good men to come to the # aid of their country";
char delims[] = "#";
char *result = NULL;
result = strtok( str, delims );
while( result != NULL ) {
    printf( "result is \"%s\"\n", result );
    result = strtok( NULL, delims );
}

OUTPUT:
result is "now "
result is " is the time for all "
result is " good men to come to the "
result is " aid of their country"

More than two million Israelis are either unvaccinated or only partially vaccinated for the measles, according to a Channel 13 report.
An outbreak of the measles has been worrying Israelis for months as it spread throughout the country, as well as in the rest of the world. But Israeli media reports on Tuesday night exposed the severity of the situation and the difficulty in solving the crisis.
State Comptroller Yosef Shapira has considered examining the Health Ministry's handling of the recent measles outbreak, according to a report released in January.
The comptroller's office contacted infectious disease and public health experts, and is working on compiling data about past efforts regarding the measles outbreak, examining if they were sufficient.
The ministry released a statements in the past warning the general public about the dangers of measles, including that one out of every ten patients requires hospitalization after contracting the virus.
Nearly three percent of hospitalized patients also have encountered issues with pneumonia. According to data presented at that time, three have contracted meningitis and two measles cases resulted in fatalities.
The ministry has been facing intense criticism for its "ineffective" efforts in containing the outbreak.
Critics cite the delayed start of vaccination efforts in the Jerusalem area, the city with the largest amount of unvaccinated people.
For years, the ministry has also not taken action against doctors who distributed false information about vaccines, and has not worked to exhort the public to vaccinate their children. Finally, critics mentioned the lack of government support for Tipat Halav (early childhood clinics), where most infants receive their first vaccinations.
The measles surfaced due to the failure of thousands of parents to vaccinate themselves or their children, particularly among the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) communities in Jerusalem, according to Health Ministry officials.
Community leaders and rabbis in recent months have sent mobile units to entire neighborhoods to vaccinate citizens living in the affected areas.
The Health Ministry claims that immunization rates in Israel are among the highest in the world, despite the current measles outbreak.
The Health Ministry requires children by the age of one to be vaccinated against measles and other contagious diseases, however, mostly due to negligence, parents do not follow the law.
An estimated 500 to 600 children from four schools have not been vaccinated in Pardess Hanna in the Haifa district, according to a previous report in Israel Hayom. The Health Ministry has not held a significant follow-up with the communities to address the problem until last November, even though the measles outbreak has been prevalent for the past few months.
The Health Ministry has since shown their inability to contain the outbreak within Israel's affected communities, and at the moment there have been 2,000 reported cases of Israelis who have contracted measles during the last few months, according to Israel Hayom.
The Health Ministry has not held any informational seminars to encourage these parents to immunize their children, and even though the Health Ministry offers to pay for these services, the parents still decline them just the same, according to Israel Hayom.
However, the Health Ministry claims that immunization rates in Israel are among the highest in the world, despite the current measles outbreak.
The Health Ministry requires children by the age of one year to be vaccinated for measles and other contagious diseases, however, mostly due to religious beliefs parents do not follow this law. School principals also hold no formal authority in enforcing health safety in and around schoolyards.
While the outbreak continues to grow, the Health Ministry will be forced to change their strategy toward these communities in the near future – implicating and administrating more successful, informative and persuasive campaigns without ignoring affected communities.
Worshipers attending certain synagogues in Israel, as well as many cases presented recently in New York have surfaced.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot declared a public health emergency last week, warning that all unvaccinated people in Brooklyn will now be required to receive the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine or face strict penalties. The emergency was declared due to an outbreak of the disease among ultra-Orthodox Jews who live in the area.
During a press conference last week, de Blasio stressed that urgent steps need to be taken now, before the Passover vacation, since many people will be traveling and congregating during the Passover vacation, which could substantially heighten the risk of the outbreaks getting much, much worse.
Tzvi Joffre and Gil Hoffman contributed to this report.


By the time February arrives, I'm usually anxious to do something - anything! I'm tired of being cooped up in the house and itching to get my fingers in the dirt, but of course I can't until the snow is gone. And so, my house bears the brunt of my pent-up energy. Nothing is safe. I've gone through the children's rooms , the reloading room, the bathroom and the kitchen. I've cleaned under the beds, in the cupboards and behind the stoves. And still I'm a bundle of energy looking for another project!
The cupboards, well, they looked so plain. And my children asked what was for dinner - again. And there was that one verse I wanted to memorize - it would be nice if I could see it every day. What to do? Well, paint the cupboard doors with chalkboard paint of course!
Really, the job was pretty easy. I scrubbed the doors with Whistle, an industrial cleaner Sir Knight brought home (I love it! - it works on everything) and taped them up to paint. After cleaning and taping, I spray painted them with chalkboard paint. I sprayed the doors twice, allowing the paint to dry in-between coats and then I let them dry overnight.
That was it!!! My cupboards had a face life and I had a place to keep the menu for the week and a new Bible verse every week as well.
It's fun, and fresh, and now I'm thinking of all kinds of home improvement projects that I can't wait to get my hands on!
And I truly can't wait for spring!!!
That looks beautiful! Your talent is so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing.
I absolutely need chili relano casserole in my life!

Deadpool Isn't In 'Doctor Strange 2,' Says Ryan Reynolds
Marvel is in danger of becoming a victim of its own incredible success. Spider-Man: No Way Home opened up a whole new realm of realities for their movies, where beloved actors and characters from previous franchises can return and meet the current generation of Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes. By all accounts, that will continue with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness; the recent trailer promises at least a cameo from Patrick Stewart's Professor Xavier from the Fox X-Men movies. And if you can have one X-Man, why not more?
That has fans speculating that Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool could also show up in the movie, along with Professor X, Tom Cruise's Iron Man, Kang, and who knows who else. (I'm crossing my fingers for the animated Wolverine from the 1990s X-Men cartoon.) But Reynolds is already dispelling rumors about his involvement; in an interview with Variety, Reynolds claimed he's "really not in the movie." Of course, actors sometimes lie in interviews — especially actors who've been hired for secret roles in Marvel films. But Reynolds insisted he was not, reiterating "I'm promising, I'm not in the movie."
So there you have it, straight from the Merc With a Mouth's, um, mouth. Deadpool is not in Doctor Strange 2. Case closed. Fans, I am sure, will take this at face value and abandon all of their inquiries into these matters. I joke, but this is what I'm talking about when I say Marvel could be the victim of their own success. They made the seemingly impossible happen in Spider-Man: No Way Home and now fans want it to happen with every movie. And if they don't get it — even if they get a very good movie — they might be disappointed.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opens in theaters on May 6, 2022.
Actors Who Got Caught Lying in Interviews
Be careful what you say in an interview — it could come back to haunt you.

WATCH: Texas B&B Boots Gay Couple, Gets Banned From Airbnb
A Galveston woman can no longer list her bed and breakfast on the lodging site after telling two men they weren't welcome in her home.
San Francisco-based lodging site Airbnb banned a Texas woman from listing her Galveston bed and breakfast on the site after she forced a gay couple to leave her residence in the middle of the night.
The business owner, only identified as Heather, allegedly forced two Houston men to pack up and leave her home after she discovered they were a couple, reports Houston TV station KTRK.
Jonathan Wang and his partner, identified only as Brent, were visiting Galveston for a wedding last month, but encountered an angry homeowner when they returned to the B&B after the festivities.
"Heather asked me where my wife was. 'Who is this person?'" Wang recalled to KTRK. "I said it was my significant other, Brent. She said, 'I thought you were bringing a wife.' I said I didn't say that specifically. I said, 'Is that going to be OK?' She said, 'It's not.'"
As the couple went upstairs to pack their bags, Wang says Heather again voiced her discomfort, telling the men they were staying in her bedroom.
The couple were forced to scramble find new accommodations late on a Friday night, when all the surrounding hotels were booked. Ultimately, Wang was able to call in a favor from his work as a professional airline pilot and secure the couple a room for the night.
Wang informed Airbnb of Heather's treatment, and the company reimbursed the couple for their stay at the B&B, as well as for the hotel they had to book after she evicted them. The company also swiftly banned Heather from its site.
"We have a zero tolerance policy for discrimination on Airbnb," the company said in a statement. "The host in question has been removed from the site. Airbnb has clear guidelines that a host or a guest may not promote hate or bigotry."
When KTRK contacted Heather for comment about the story, she told the station "I'm completely of my legal realms and morals."
Heather wouldn't confirm whether she bans gay people from her home, but KTRK did note a small mention on Heather's since-deactivated Airbnb profile that lists the property as "straight-friendly."
When asked if she bans gay people outright, Heather told the station, "That's none of your business. That's my private home."
Watch KTRK's report below.

In Defense of Andrew Breitbart
By earl ofari hutchinson (Page 1 of 2 pages) (# of views) 4 comments
Andrew Breitbart deserves a rousing defense. He single-handedly managed to get President Obama, much of the media, conservatives, and a big body of the general public talking about race, but not just race in the usual drive-by, finger pointing divisive way, but race in which there's near universal sympathy for a black victim of racism. The raw deal Breitbart dealt Shirley Sherrod drew variously either an apology, condemnation of the doctored tape, or a loud demand that she get her job back, from everyone from Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, and Bill O'Reilly to President Obama. Some prominent conservatives even lashed out at the rightwing smear machine.
For a brief moment, there was renewed clamor that Obama frontally address the issue of race and racism and hold the much talked about racial dialogue. Breitbart said that he released the doctored tape of Sherrod's speech in part to hit back at the NAACP for having the temerity to call out the tea party for the racism of some, many, are most of its activists and leaders in part. And in part he released the lying tape to expose the NAACP for allegedly giving safe harbor to its own racists. Breitbart did a service on both counts. He again tossed the spotlight on the tea party and how it deals with or more accurately ducks dealing with the racists among them. The NAACP took full advantage of the reopened window and again reminded that the tea party has racist elements among them. That in turn stirred some talk about having a dialogue on race between the NAACP and tea party leaders. NAACP President Ben Jealous quickly said that he would look with favor on that.
As for the issue of racists within the NAACP, Sherrod debunked that. The full 43 minute unedited speech that she gave to the local NAACP banquet, showed a thoughtful, sincere, committed former civil rights worker, and someone who has spent decades championing the rights of farm owners and workers, giving a life affirming, morality lesson on her personal experiences with race and racism. Her experience showed the power of racial reconciliation and redemption. Millions saw that, got that, and praised her for that. She is the best calling card the NAACP, and by extension African-Americans, have to show that a black person who had every right to be hateful and embittered toward whites could forgive and move on.
Breitbart did yet another service. He spurred President Obama to use some of the strongest language to date to blast the rightwing spin doctor media for doing everything it can to bully, intimidate, and harass his administration. This put Obama on guard against the perennial danger of making a rushed even panic decision about anyone in his administration, or in a government agency, based on a hit attack by the likes of a Breitbart and Fox. Some even hope that this will embolden Obama to hit back, and hit back hard against the rightwing smear machine. We'll keep a watch on that.
Breitbart did a final service. He gave the rightwing smear machine a momentary black eye. He made news editors, producers, and executives, and that includes those at Fox, more cautious about what they dump on the airwaves to score a hit. The public is already deeply cynical about a media that has become virtually indistinguishable from the tabloids and has parlayed gossip, innuendo, rumor, half truths and outright lies into ratings and profits. The Sherrod doctored tape was a textbook example of how a lie can be turned into ratings. Breitbart deserves a defense for the many services he performed.

Most people in the world love football, either playing or watching it. Football is the most popular sport among individuals worldwide because it's easy to play and most people like watching it. Depending on the country, the environment of playing the game, and the players, there are different types of football. Players take part in the different types of football either competitively or for leisure. This article provides a comprehensive guide on the different types of football, football passes, and football kicks. More interesting facts about football.
⚽ What are the types of football passes?
1. Push or direct pass;
2. Long pass;
3. Backward pass;
4. Piercing pass;
5. Wall pass.
⚽ What are the types of football kicks?
1. Laces kick;
2. Push kick;
3. Instep kick;
4. Step kick;
5. Toe kick.
Players participated in the first official football match in 1860. Over the current years, there has been an evolution in the football game. From the rules, the number of participants, and the different ways or styles of playing football. Below are some of the different types of football currently in the world.
1. Jorkyball
It involves players using their feet to dribble past their opponents and score. The teams that score more goals are always the winners. The game is not different from standard football; the only difference is that this type uses a smaller pitch.
2. Cycle ball
This type of football involves two opposition players who ride on a bicycle fixed with gears. The rider has to take legs off the pedals to the ground while moving to dribble, pass then shot the ball using the bicycle. The game predisposes players to many injuries; thus, you'll need a lot of practice to master the game's art.
3. Football tennis
Most professional football club uses it in their training grounds. To play the game, you'll need three opposition players on either side of the tennis lawn. To create a goal-scoring opportunity, all three players must touch the ball before knocking it over to the opposite side.
4. Blind football
Individuals who have visual impairments play these kinds of football. However, the authorities usually blindfold all the players to ensure they are on the same level despite their visual impairment. The team consists of five players on either side and a sixth one to guide the others. For easy tracking, the organizers fit the ball on an electric device that makes some sound.
5. Powerchair football
The player in this type of football uses wheelchairs to play the game. Mostly it takes place in a gymnasium, where a team will consist of four players. The organizers fit the wheelchairs with foot guards to help the players pass, dribble, and shoot the ball against the opponents.
Different types of football passes
Football is a game that requires good footwork skills, speed, and accurate passing. Thus, the pass you choose to make solemnly depends on the position of your teammates and the opponents. Passes have various significances, such as relieving pressure, creating a scoring opportunity, or defending. Below are some of the types of football passes a player needs to execute
1. Push or direct pass
It's the safest pass a player can execute. The pass typically involves passing the ball to a teammate who is nearby. To make the pass, it's good first to plant the non-kicking foot along with the ball, pointing to the direction you want to kick the ball. Then contact the ball with the kicking foot inside and hit the ball with the middle of the foot.
2. Long pass
A player majorly uses the pass to clear the ball to a teammate who is on the far end of the pitch. The pass will change the area of play, providing an excellent counter-attacking chance. To hit the pass, you'll need power and accuracy.
3. Backward pass
It's a defensive pass that a player uses when the opponents close off all the possible forward passes options. Alternatively, players can use the pass to put more pressure on the offensive play. Most players use the pass to neutralize the play's pressure while maintaining ball control.
4. Piercing pass
The opportunity for making this pass is usually rare, as the defending players will position themselves well to prevent any gaps in their defensive line. The pass requires proper timing of the ball to the attacking players. When the attacker receives the ball, he concentrates more on the scoring opportunity than the defending players. Primarily the passes are meant to create a goal-scoring opportunity.
5. Wall pass
Most players refer to it as a one-two pass, which involves a combination passing. For example, a wing player will pass the ball to an inside teammate, then runs along the wing to receive another pass from the teammate. These passes are usually effective when playing against teams with slower defenses. However, for the different types of football, there are different ways of executing the wall pass.
Different types of football kicks
The main objective of football is scoring and defending against the opposition to score. Regardless of the kind of opposition you are playing against, you'll have to make various kicks to ensure you score or defend against the opponent's scoring. Below are the different types of football kicks depending on the position of the ball and the body:
1. Laces kick
The kicks require the player to use more power and placement when making it. When making the kick, the player should have the toe pointing downwards and make the laces strike on the ball. The kicks are good for creating goal-scoring opportunities.
2. Push kick
Despite the age, ability, and level of play, this is the familiar kick in football. The push kick allows the player to make an accurate pass to an individual. Most players use the push kicks for short-distance passing. Additionally, players can use these kicks to score when they are at a close scoring range.
3. Instep kick
Instep kick offers a more advanced option over the push kick; thus, players need to do more practice on the kick to execute it properly. The kick involves having an angle of 45 degrees while running at the ball, then making a football curve on the goal's path. The kick provides the best opportunity for the player, primarily full-backs and wingers, to make crosses.
4. Step kick
Most players use the outstep kick to mask their weaker foot. When making the kick, you'll use the outside part of your foot to ensure the ball bends and use minimal body movements to make the kick. The main objective is to make the ball curve away from the target or goalkeeper. Therefore, it's the best kick to use for goal scoring.
5. Toe kick
The kick helps to clear pressure from the defense line, pass the ball quickly, scoring at a closer range, as it's hard for the defender or goalkeeper to read the pass. As you make the kick ensure to make your toes harder as they are the central part, you'll use to hammer the ball.
Being the most popular sport, there are various types of football depending on the location, state of players, and playing mechanism. The sport involves passing and kicking the ball using the various kicks and passes like the push and long passes or goals and fouls kicks to score or defend. Therefore, most individuals will play football in different ways using different passing and kicking skills.

Don't Fall for Fakes: Local Jewelry Appraiser Shares His Expertise
May 04, 2018 03:34PM ● By Jason Huddle
Tony Laughter
When he was in fourth grade, Tony Laughter (pronounced Law-ter) received a rock and mineral collection from his Aunt Ruby. "Yes, that was her actual name," he laughed. From that point forward, a passion for minerals and gemstones led Laughter into the jewelry business. After earning his geology degree from Colorado State University, Laughter enrolled at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in Santa Monica, CA, and received a Graduate Gemologist Diploma, with a trade designation of "GG".
"I was very fortunate that one of my classmates at GIA was Fred Mouwad, the son of one of the most important diamond buyers in the world," Laughter remembered. If you've heard the name before, it may be because Mouawad designed and manufactured 11 "fantasy" bras for Victoria's Secret, which were made from precious gemstones and valued at between $2 million and $10 million dollars each. "In fact, the GIA main campus in Carlsbad, CA is named in honor of Robert Mouawad," Laughter explained. "So, I was very lucky to be hired by Fred."
After graduation, Laughter began to work with the Mouawans. "The very first piece of jewelry I touched, day one of my new career, was a 40 carat D Flawless diamond – 6 million dollars," recalled Laughter. "The same week they bought a 100 carat-plus D Flawless for around $13 million dollars! Talk about starting at the top."
From there, Laughter continued his career that took him all over the world, including places such as Bangkok, Thailand, Vail, CO and Scottsdale, AZ. Finally, he arrived in Charlotte, NC. "I returned to the U.S. and gained that experience working for several prestigious companies…where I got my introduction to estate jewelry," Laughter explained. "During these years, I was selling, buying estates, and always appraising." Needless to say, Laughter has learned a lot over the years when it comes to Jewelry and appraising. Now, he calls Concord, NC home and was willing to share some of his knowledge with CM.
Laughter says the first mistake many make, when it comes to jewelry appraisals, is in the selection of the appraiser. "When searching for a jewelry appraiser, it's important to know the extent of their trade experience," he explained. "Did they just graduate as a gemologist, with little if any retail experience? Also, are they a Graduate Gemologist? Many insurance companies will reject an appraisal with high valued items, if not written by a GG." Laughter added that, an "appraisal" provided by a seller is not the same as an independent appraisal. "The insurance company may accept it at first purchase, but I can tell you from years of appraising, that these are often over inflated values with insufficient detail. We often refer to these as 'puffed up', or 'feel good appraisals'. The reality is they're only trying to make the customer feel good about the purchase. It's unethical."
If you were to come to Laughter with jewelry to appraise, the first thing he is going to ask you is about the purpose of the appraisal. He says there can be different market values, depending on whether the appraisal is for an estate settlement, divorce or insurance coverage, for instance. "Often, what the client really needs is consultation," said Laughter. "I can often save them lots of money without the need of a full written report."
Regardless, Laughter says it's important to have your jewelry appraised, even if you're not planning on selling it. "I'm really amazed (even after all these years of seeing it), at how many people assume their homeowner's insurance is sufficient to cover All their jewelry," he said. "The coverage for jewelry can be as low as $1,500 combined! So, I always remind them to contact their insurance company and get the items listed (scheduled), and that they will pay a yearly premium usually quoted on a per $1,000 basis." According to Laughter, most insurance companies recommend updates every 3 to 5 years, depending upon market conditions. "If in doubt about the value of the jewelry, we welcome appointments where we can often rapidly sort items for basic values, and then decide if full written appraisals are needed."
Of course, there is also a need for Laughter's industry because of gemstones put up for sale that are misrepresented in their quality, or are simply outright fakes. Laughter explained he's currently involved in a case where a consumer purchased what was represented as a synthetic diamond (3 carats), online for $3,000 dollars. The stone turned out to be a Moissanite imitation, worth a fraction of what was paid. "And of course, everyone is pointing fingers at each other," Laughter explained. "It's a gamble for sure with gemstones, unless you're a gemologist."
Laughter says the simple solution is to get a money-back guarantee and then bring it to an appraiser. "We offer pre-purchase verification for a reduced fee. It can save you from overpaying, or even worse – getting ripped off!"
For more information on Tony Laughter or jewelry appraising, visit www.jewelryappraisalresources.com. Jewelry Appraisal Resources (JAR) subcontracts with The American Jewelry Institute (AJI), appraising for eight Jareds the Galleria of Jewelry stores in the region, and is also available for appraisals at the Gibson Mill office in Concord.

« Michigan Works! … Except when it doesn't.
In an earlier article, I suggested that the half-life of a tech career is fifteen years.
Now that doesn't mean that your career is over at fifteen years; it means half the people who started in technology have gone on to something else. By fifty, that number is likely 25%. By sixty-five … you get it.
Let's say you like technology, and want to stay in it, or at least stay around it. What could you do?
Here's one option: Take a lesson from this guy.
Imagine your life completely different. No apartment rent, no heating bill, no car loan, no commute, no lawn mower, no lawn, no stuff to maintain.
Imagine ditching it all, and getting all of your time back.
Get on a boat and move to somewhere warm year-round — somewhere with a beach. Get a job playing music in some dive bar for tips, free food, and beer. What more do you need?
It turns out that all that stuff is a huge anchor, a big money-sucking machine. The cost to crash at friends places (or the beach if you need to), to have a suit cases worth of stuff — well, you can earn that in three shifts a week at a dive bar.
And it is a choice that many people make every year.
Unless you are lucky enough to be reading this in your earlier twenties, though, you are probably saddled with the under-water mortgage, the piles and piles of stuff that you can't untangle. What's more, you have real commitments; friends and family you see not as holding you back, but as partners in making a better life. I hear you.
If your goal is to switch over to the Jimmy Buffett Life, you might start by picking up a copy of Tim Ferris's The Four Hour Work-Week.
The book is a rambling mix of ideas, mostly about generating a passive income selling products for far more than you pay for them, and outsourcing order entry and fulfillment. I can't say I endorse all of his ideas, but there's a least one I found fascinating – the mini-sabbatical.
In the United States, if you surveyed most people, they would say they want the security of a full-time employee job in a standard place.
But what if you threw that all away, choosing instead to embrace the contracting lifestyle?
You might find some competitive niche in a large metropolitan area (or be willing to travel) and active seek contract jobs for three to twelve months. You live as cheaply as possible, then when the time comes for the contract to end, you go live the Jimmy Buffett lifestyle (or something close to it) in some tropical locale, preferably with universal health care coverage, for one to six months.
You make sure you have internet, keep the rent contract month-to-month, and move back when you've got the next gig lined up.
To accomplish this, you might either move closer to a metro area. You might have to downsize the life (a little) and be careful with money. But the key idea is this: Enjoy your retirement a little bit at a time, while you are young and healthy. Along the way you'll move from the full-time employee race to the contract role, which I find can extend your half-life by at least ten, if not fifteen years.
The best part is that these kinds of frequent changes (A) buy you time to figure out what to do, and (B) Force you to reconsider every few months.
They prevent you from getting in a rut.
On top of that, you're now in business for yourself. From here, technical recruiting, subcontracting, whole-hog outsourcing, and all sorts of partnerships open up all kinds of possibilities.
Of course you can't — or, at least, it might be more charitable to say, this kind of whole-life change isn't for everybody. What you can certainly do is take a careful look at how you spend your time, and money. Cut back on the stuff that takes your time.
Likewise, look for ways to trade time for money, by which I mean, you spend less money and get your time back.
You might not end up getting a huge chunk of time back, but you might extend your tech career a bit, and who knows? Get a month a year on a beach.
It beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
More to come – including a couple of interviews with folks on this path.
I sometimes wonder, is the Jimmy Buffet lifestyle to new American dream? Or is the Zuckerstyle the dream? Yesterday I saw a photo of a developer friend of mine with his wife, and his 2 adorable kids. I also read an article that said on average it costs $300k to raise a child to age 17. Another article said that couples with kids fight more. I replied, "That's because once you can pay your bills it's the only thing WORTH fighting about!" The American Dream hasn't changed. We all do what we feel is best to make a better life for our children, for the future, and the rest is gravy. I'm thankful every day that I'm lucky enough to be born in a country where a woman can earn a living with her mind and talent. The work I do is toward the goal that one day it isn't even a question if women should be paid equally, but silly to think it's ever been otherwise. Women will be paid fairly when more women have the courage to start companies. Thus, small company, one woman, less stable, but living my small dream. And it doesn't happen at a bar.

We have been observing dynamic changes in our economy. It has been shaped mostly by the rapid technology and ICT development, which makes work and everyday life easier. The world becomes more homogeneous- borders have practically ceased to exist and common currencies, legal regulations and laws have made it even easier. The world is often called a Global Village. All these factors allow to create a new definition of New Economy. There are less complicated company's organization structures which make employees harder to get promoted. The experts claim that people are going to change their place of work every 4-5 years on average and every 7 years even professions. This is the reason why there has already been functioning the idea of McWork. Business, management, marketing and economics change rapidly. In 2014 Robert D. Hof wrote for Business Week that, "All we have thought we know about business is being questioned." From the economic point of view this situation becomes a big chance but also a challenge- competitiveness gets a new meaning. This is the reason why experts are still looking for new and better solutions which would allow each person to generate income and, simultaneously, preserve a healthy lifestyle. Important issue is to find such a way of earning money that would give a long-term stability and safety.
For many years we have known various solutions, like classic business, corporate business, franchise or multi-level marketing. All of them have many advantages but also disadvantages, which seem to be more burdensome nowadays. SoftMarketing is something that comes to the surface- the revolution in business thinking. It combines the best solutions of all mentioned areas with simultaneous elimination of their drawbacks. SoftMarketing is defined as business of the 21st or even 22nd century and is the answer to dynamic requirements of the changing market and becomes an alternative for businessmen and full-time workers. It becomes a chance to expand business activity for businessmen. It can be a source of the additional or main income for both groups, which do not have to give up their current activities, employ new people or invest a lot of money.
2nd foundation says to base operations on business/industry which belongs to global trends.
Trends show direction of the global development. This is the reason why it is there that a man should look for economic opportunities. Currently, one of the most dynamic developing trends is wellness.
Wellness understood as health, good mental and physical condition and slim figure depends only on ourselves. Each of us wants to be healthy, look well and feel full of energy every day. That is why it is so important to care for proper condition of our body consciously.
We have noted growing number of dangerous aspects threatening our health nowadays, among which we can name: vegetables and fruit consisting of less mineral elements, food chemistry that has become inseparable element of our diet die, bad eating habits, stress and sedentary lifestyle. All this is the cause of growing number of people suffering from civilization diseases- even young people are sick and they go seed. Experts alarm that if nothing changes, our children will live even 5 years shorter than us. Therefore, it is so important to inform about dangers and possible solutions, but also to inspire to physical activity and to supply modern highest quality products that would allow to preserve and even improve health condition. In order to meet such expectations, DuoLife offers products created on the basis of the latest researches in the field of biology and medicine. They support general psychomotorics of organism and they are the answer to typical diseases and problems.
3rd foundation – means personal development- effective system of developing both business and empowerment. The key element here is a development program created by well-known couches, trainers and psychologists centered around Personal Excellence Network company. This program supports DuoLife partners in their professional and personal life and helps to move from point "A" to point "B" as quickly as possible and set and achieve further ambitious goals.
Everybody needs development. However, achieving financial, professional and personal success often depends on proper professional knowledge, interpersonal skills and proper way of thinking. Unfortunately, many people show limits in this area which results in no success or time-limited success. That is the reason why personal development is the key element both for DuoLife operations and the concept of SoftMarketing™. What counts is that, in the contrary to most of companies organizing single trainings, an advanced and complex development program is available here.
2. MAN AS THE CENTRAL POINT.
Man is in the limelight together with his aims, aspirations and potential.
Thanks to flexible approach, individual solutions are created for each business. They allow to combine possibilities that are offered by DuoLife together with other things offered by almost each company, which increases DuoLife competitiveness and possibilities.
This assumption is performed through supporting and contributing to "Live Consciously" program. Its aim is to build up a need for a better and more conscious life and to inspire people to undertake actions that support the program. "Live Consciously" connects different social environments, people and organizations, starting from nationwide media through local governing bodies and scientific environment to end up with famous and influential people. Conferences, speeches and workshops are a part of the program.
Supporting physical and mental health, – personal development and ability to take care of financial situation, we allow to lead a more conscious and happy life.
5. COMMUNICATION WITH OUTSIDE WORLD.
In order to gain success in business nowadays it is not enough to have a good product. It is crucial to inform about the product and values it stands for. That is why DuoLife is present in media which both promote the products and values they support.
– DuoLife functioning on the basis of SoftMarketing develops much faster and attracts people from different environments representing different economic condition. Numerous successes of people who cooperate with DuoLife prove the effectiveness of the company.


Hello everyone, I've just want to update my bios, go to page for downloading newest bios F.23 Rev. A.
After downloading I launch it on my h.d.d. without any fail or warning, when it's been done, my notebook shutting down and this was a finish. I'll try to do hard reset, Pull out the battery on 10-15 mins, try to boot him wih fat32 with another bios, pushing fn+esc, winkey+b\v, BUT it given't any results.
It's just continued to blink, when I plug in AC, over 3-5 seconds.
Please, help me to reanimate my Compaq CQ61-210SR!
Follow all the steps written and hopefully you will be able to recover/restore your BIOS.
General recommendation I provide to users/customers is NOT to upgrade BIOS/UEFI unless they experience any kind of specific BIOS/UEFI issue. Updating just for updaing and just for using the latest verson is not solution. Any kind of update (no matter for what and who relesed it) can fix 2 issues but may introduce 10 more issues. Additionally, upgrading the BIOS (for any vendor) poses more risks because BIOS recovery is not that easy as compared to typical software updates IF something goes wrong. Same applies for Windows Updates, OS update, drivers updates, etc - upgrade/update IF you have issues which you know are fixed in the newer version or for some severe security issues. Otherwise, keep the existing version as long as possible.
If you manage to restore your BIOS, do not attempt to update it again.

I have an i5 6500 locked at 3.2ghz but will boost up to 3.6 and I have a gtx 780 3gb model. I haven't decided on ram yet but will I be able to get decent frame rates for monkey ball and ratchet and clank?
Best way to know is to try it out.
I have a Intel i5 4670k @ 4.2GHz and a GTX 750 Ti 2GB and at least for Ratchet and Clank it runs smooth.
Thats a pretty decent system since its a newer i5 which is where PCSX2 needs the power aka the 780 won't be holding back the emulator at all unless you try to go for insanely high internal resolutions. Should be perfectly fine at 3x-4x which is around 1080p. So your system is perfectly suitble for PCSX2 and for Dolphin for that matter if you want to give that one a try.
You're not spec'd bad at all.
I used to run an i3-3240 - which has a slightly weaker stp of 1800 vs yours in the 1900. Ran that with an gtx750 ti oc 2gb (the asus card in my signature actually) and didn't have any problems with the games I currently own.. For most games, you should be fine at 1080p (approximately, 4x native ) in most games. You will encounter games that wont run at full speed.. Shadow of the Collossus being one. I hear Ratchet and Clank are one of the more demanding games, but they supposedly run well under the current 1.5 builds.
That said, my taste in games tends towards the less processor intensive set (final fantasy x, x-2, xii, .hack, etc) so I cant say for certain. I have tried SoC in my i7 machine which is slightly stronger than your machine, at between 2050 and 2100 stp, and I can maintain ROUGHLY 55fps-60 fps (I'm processor bound there, my gpu seems happy at 3x IF I remember my testing right.. been a while and I no longer have the game to test with).

Baghdad Arab cultural festival brings message of peace
Despite criticism of the celebration of Baghdad Capital of Arab Culture, the events, which were attended by a majority of Arab countries, left a positive impact on Iraq and conveyed a message of peace to the Arab peoples.

Amal Sakr
Culture and art have somehow managed to succeed where politics failed, so to speak. Iraq has recently brought together huge delegations from most of the Arab countries, at the invitation of the Iraqi Ministry of Culture, to participate in the closing festival of events for the Baghdad Capital of Arab Culture 2013.
The year-long and final events had been subject to criticism on social networking pages by a group of intellectuals, artists and journalists from Iraq, amid talk about financial corruption associated with the events, to which half a billion dollars was allocated. Despite the criticism, these events have positively and significantly affected Iraq, especially in a period when the entire Middle East is going through political changes that had, in some way, an impact on the cultural, artistic, literary and media landscape.
In the end, these events greatly contribute to conveying messages to the Arab peoples that are, in turn, contributing to those changes, including in Iraq. Indeed, Iraq has been witnessing over the last two or three years popular demonstrations, during which the people demanded their rights in a given case or challenged a certain governmental or parliamentary action that they deemed unjust. These actions are the fruit of the activation of the Iraqi people's social culture. This new culture is still young and needs enrichment to reach practices within the framework of the freedom and democracy, away from sectarian and communal retrenchment, which is largely affecting the demography of many segments of Iraqi society.
Therefore, we must understand that communicating via these means is very important and can lead to significant and radical changes in the restructuring of the Iraqi people's social culture. These people should be saved from sectarianism to focus instead on the negative aspects of the former regime, which was exterminated more than 10 years ago. This can be achieved through cultural, cognitive and intellectual exchange, as well as the exchange of experience in the fields of cinema, theater, television and other means of communication. In fact, these means are influential and their messages can be conveyed spontaneously, automatically and in a simple way.
This is why it was important for Iraq to sign several cultural and artistic agreements with most other Arab countries over the past year, as this will lead Iraq to further openness toward the Arab world.
Despite the fact that the Ministry of Culture has not officially announced all the cultural and artistic agreements that it concluded with the countries that participated in the events of Baghdad Capital of Arab Culture 2013, most of the people that Al-Monitor interviewed during these events mentioned those agreements, and said that their activities in Iraq will continue in accordance with these agreements.
These figures include the Egyptian charge d'affaires to Iraq, Nabil Makki, who said to Al-Monitor, "The participation in the Baghdad activities is only the beginning of a series of cultural and artistic events to take place in both Baghdad and Egypt."
Moreover, these delegations sent letters of encouragement — which cannot be overlooked — to the rest of the Arab countries that did not participate in the events of Baghdad, out of fear of the security escalation across Iraq. One example is the statement to Al-Monitor by the head of the foreign relations sector in the Egyptian Ministry of Culture, Kamilia Subhi, who said, "I call on all Arab countries to come to Iraq, because we felt completely safe here."
By "we," Subhi meant the Arab delegations, knowing that their tour in Iraq lasted more than a week, during which the delegations — which included artistic, cultural and political figures — visited a fair number of the vital and important areas in the capital.
Hamid Mansour, a well-known Iraqi musician, confirmed this very message, but this time to Iraqi expatriate artists. As he told Al-Monitor, "All of these events that have been attended by Arab figures give the impression that there is an attempt aimed at reviving Iraq's art and culture, which was overshadowed in light of the security situation and the turmoil that Iraq suffered and is still suffering from to this very day. Thus, Iraqi artists will encourage expatriates to contribute to those attempts, as some of them are still afraid to come to Baghdad."
I do not disagree much with those who have made negative remarks about the Baghdad Capital of Culture events, but the door is wide open to make proposals to avoid these negative aspects. Those in charge of the cultural and artistic process will eventually resort to the elite, which ought to highlight potential that goes in line with the efficiency of the other party involved in the agreement.
It should be noted that the number of people, delegates and dignitaries who either attended or sent representatives to the festival have carried several messages that showed a considerable popular consensus among the peoples of the Arab countries. It was nice to hear a Kuwaiti poet praise the glories of Algeria, as Lebanese artists conveyed the Lebanese people's hopes of a new dawn in the land of Iraq. Iraqi songs about all Arab countries, with no exception, were playing in the background, despite all the intersections and political differences between Iraq and some of these countries, including Saudi Arabia, which is implicitly accused by the Iraqi government of "financing terrorism in Iraq."
During the final events of Baghdad Capital of Arab Culture, Iraq conveyed a message of peace that the Arab peoples are in dire need of during this current phase.

We've had a lot of people ask if Rite Aid offers a price match or a price adjustment, so we did some online sleuthing and found the answer for you!
As of 2017, Rite Aid does not officially have a price match policy. That being said, we've experienced positive situations in some stores where the manager will accept the price from another store if you have the circular with you.
With a lot of competition from CVS and Walgreens, it makes sense that your local Rite Aid will be more likely to provide you with a price match to competitors nearby.
Unlike many other stores we've researched, simply returning an item and buying it at a competitor can be problematic with Rite Aid.
Their site says "We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase," although it then immediately says that returns will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Don't rely on Rite Aid giving you a full cash refund if you see a lower price elsewhere and want to return an item to take advantage of the savings.
There is one big item to note, though: Rite Aid provides a full refund if you purchase online, however you can't return an item purchased online at a retail location!

"He Gives Us All His Love" is a song written and performed by Randy Newman.  It first appeared in the 1971 film Cold Turkey, for which it served as a sort of theme song and played during the opening and closing credits. Newman re-recorded the song for his album Sail Away the following year.

The ballad is both brief (running 1:52 in its Sail Away version) and very sparsely arranged.  It opens with the delicate sounds of a string section and is maintained by Newman's piano in a slow "four to the bar" tempo.

The song is gospel-influenced and shares both musical and thematic similarities with such American hymns as Jesus Loves Me.  It does not, however, discuss Christian themes of redemption but merely gives a testament of faith ("he's lookin' down on us, from up above / and he's givin' us all his love").

The tone of the song is bittersweet; the succinct lyrics include the assertion that the divine witnesses human suffering ("he hears the babies crying / he sees the old folks dying") and include the implication that being seen, and loved, might comfort.  More explicitly, the narrator tells the listener "...you can lean on him." As Newman himself is an atheist and regularly included satire in his compositions, the song can be interpreted through that lens as a sarcastic critique of religion, as it portrays a god who witnesses human suffering but merely "gives us all his love" while doing nothing tangible to intervene. Its presence in the film Cold Turkey certainly supports this ironical interpretation, since the song is played over the closing credits, as the town which has tried to be smoke-free for the duration of the movie is rewarded with a new factory, spewing smoke into the atmosphere.

The song has sometimes been taken at face value, however, and has been covered by Wanda Jackson and Sherie Rene Scott, both  born-again Christians.

It has also been covered by Roy Ayers, Birtles & Goble, Ross D. Wyllie and others.  Some versions are extended to four minutes or more in length and few, if any, are as brief as Newman's original rendition.

Re-release

In the 2002 CD reissue of Sail Away, this song is extended by three seconds.

In the belated 2007 CD issue of the Cold Turkey soundtrack (which was Newman's first film work, and had never been issued in any format to that time), the two original versions of this song as featured in the film were included (2:35" and 2:03"). In the first version as played over the film's opening credits, the song segues into a choral gospel number called "I Love the Lord"; this portion is omitted from the soundtrack.

Just a quick post for now because I'm really busy this week – I wanted to share one of my new favorite snacking "adaptations" that may or may not be "healthy" but is definitely a better option for those trying to get fit with a sweet tooth.
Behold, the Complete Cookie from Lenny & Larry's. 16 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber, 100% delicious.
A quirky little company called Lenny & Larry's had the novel idea to take a delicious cookie and turn it into a protein-packed food bomb. Maybe someday I'll be able to shake their hands, but for now I'll just support them by purchasing their awesome products.
At 420 calories for the entire cookie, this is a post-workout dessert and still not a substitute for a real meal. The suggested serving size is only half, but if you have a big workout you shouldn't have to worry about finishing one of these.
I made this find at 7 Eleven of all places (not typically a good spot for nutrition) where they were on sale for a dollar (typically around $2). I've found them at the grocery store and a few other places since then. Check online to see where you can buy in your area!
The company also makes brownies (you can find them on Vitacost – not the cookies though) and all of their products are Kosher, non-GMO and vegetarian/vegan. Other flavors include Double Chocolate, Oatmeal Raisin, and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut.
If you're like me, giving up cookies is almost never an option. Now luckily you can cheat a little and still make your macros for the day.
Any recommendations for other "diet" or protein-rich products like this, I'd love to hear them!
Oooooo, I will have to try that product! I love quest bars as a high protein snack. My favorites are the cookies and cream and the raspberry cheesecake. I too run a fitness blog. You should check it out.
OMG, have you ever seen Quest's "15 Second Recipe" videos?! They make some insane stuff out of those bars! I really wanna try!
Thanks so much for reading I'll be sure to check your posts out too!
I follow quest nutrition of instagram… They just posted a recipe for protein PIZZA! What? YES! I will try to make it soon!
