![]() Brown hopes that his son will forgive him for not being there just as Johnny Cash did in at the end of “Boy Named Sue.” “The Greatest Man I Never Knew” – Reba McEntire, Writers: Richard Leigh, Layng Martine Jr. This sad and beautiful song takes place as a father drives to go see his kids, and in one of the most vulnerable lines of any song on the album Brown sings, “And a part of you might hate me / But, son, please don’t mistake me / For a man that didn’t care at all.” While the effect of not having a father is strong on a child, that effect goes both ways. This is another song about a father who isn’t there with his son, but it is told from the father’s perspective while the son is still young. “Highway 20 Ride” (2009) – Zac Brown Band, Writers: Zac Brown, Wyatt Durette In this classic Johnny Cash tale a boy named Sue goes on a mission to kill his dad for naming him what he did, but upon finding him his father says, “ I knew I wouldn’t be there to help ya along / So I give ya that name and I said goodbye / I knew you’d have to get tough or die /And it’s the name that helped to make you strong” Cash goes on to sing, “I got all choked up and I threw down my gun / And I called him my pa, and he called me his son, / And I came away with a different point of view.” I chose this song because while the father in this tale was never there he found a way to make his son into a man and even forged a relationship after all the years. I am going to begin this list with the man in black himself Johnny Cash and his song “Boy Named Sue,” which was originally written and sang by popular poet Shel Silverstein. “Boy Named Sue” (1969) – Johnny Cash, Writer – Shel Silverstein The first group of songs are about fathers who weren’t able to be there for their kids for one reason or another. ![]() In addition, each song has some sort of lesson or moral in regards to being a father. The ten songs on this list were chosen to represent different aspects of fatherhood. In addition, Country music speaks to the uglier parts of fatherhood like divorce and absenteeism, and the love as well as the fear that comes with raising a child. Country music has a lot to say about dads and how they teach their kids. Speaking from my own experience my dad taught me things that my mom never could have. However, not everybody is as lucky as me because increasingly kids are raised by single mothers, in 2010 about 24% of kids grew up without a father. One of the people who I look up to most is my dad and if I can become half the man he is then I know that I will make it in this world. Of all the things in life that I am looking forward to the most, one day becoming a dad is at the top of my list. The lighthearted rear cupholders don't fare better fold them out of sight and note the Aura's appealing secondary audio controls for backseat drivers. But the one-piece door armrests not only punish one's elbow, the imitation stitching speaks volumes to this car's potential– before the heartless, merciless, ruthless beancounting bore fruit.īut wait, there’s less! The folding in-dash binnacle impresses Toyotaphiles initially, though its lack of carpeting and thin casting make it an instant rattletrap for coinage. Yes, the dash positions quality polymers and glossy metal-effect goodies within poking distance. ![]() Spend a few minutes in the Aura’s drab and depressing monochromatic black interior cabin and it’s clear GM's strategically placed interior quality has claimed yet another victim. The Aura's substantial door handles feel even better than they look too bad the same isn't true for the interior. At long last, badge engineering creates beauty where mediocrity is the norm. Topping the package are the most elegant logos adorning a modern vehicle the Saturn's famous red-square has the depth of a trillion-cut ruby. ![]() The Aura hosts a pair of upbeat exhaust pipes, making a statement of virility no previous Saturn dared proclaim. The deck lid's chrome slab does more than get its spizzarkle on it visually thins the booty. Meanwhile, the Aura’s Audi-esque flowing C-pillar and side marker lights add a distinctly Teutonic touch pronouncing the car’s German heritage louder than a computer generated Kraftwerk concert.Ī tall posterior rounds out the Aura’s rear, offering an ideal blend of Pontiac understatement and Altezza attitude. Conforming to the current Japanese style, oversized headlights blight the Aura's sleek silhouette. The blistered wheel arches and chunky front end are muscular by Camry standards– albeit with a thick chrome bar across the grill that would be right at home on Paul Wall's iced-out grin. The model’s sheetmetal offers suitably clean/boring lines in a pronounced wedge shape, with complementary angles and purposeful curves. The Aura is an American-built Opel that looks like a Japanese copy of a German car. And now, finally, the Saturn Aura is here to revive GM’s "import fighter." After leaving Saturn to twist in the wind, losing billions in the process, GM eventually spiked the brand’s independence. Friendly Saturn dealers created devoted customers with a “no dicker” sticker and a pretty good range of plastic-paneled cars (the S-Series). ![]() Saturn was born “A different kind of company, a different kind of car.” Talk about post-modern irony GM created the Saturn division to copy Japan’s products, management techniques and manufacturing dexterity. ![]() You can ask any questions here and find like-minded teammates for your platform.

It focuses on providing a plain text view and a rendered preview of the text where the markdown is converted into rich text. Depending on the platform, it is sometimes free, yet even where it is a paid-for product there are always with free trials available. IA Writer is a cross-platform app for iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. This is because a text file is a simple string of bytes representing characters without all the extras involved in Word, like macros and file encoding, where viruses can be hidden.įurther points of convenience are that markdown editors can be used with cloud services like Dropbox and iCloud to sync between your devices, to keep everything up to date, and all will export Word, EPUB and PDF, among other file types. The main reason is for the portability of plain text files, which are not tied to a single app, are lightweight for using on mobile, and don’t experience incompatibilities between mobile and desktop files.Īnother benefit is that text/markdown files aren’t susceptible to viruses in the same way that Word files are. But over time I’ve warmed to certain markdown editors. At the time Markdown Editors were first released I was sceptical, and felt that quite high prices were being charged for something very simple. Markdown was created in the early days of the smartphone and tablet revolution to provide a solution to limited functionality, and text editors turned this into a selling point, positioning themselves as minimal and distraction free. You use *asterisks* or _underscores_ either side of a piece of text to define italics, and use **two of them** to indicate _bold_. Markdown is a schema for plain text files, arranging them with hashtags, for example, to represent headings. The cost varies, depending on your device, and it’s also important to note that the macOS and iOS version development is ahead of the Windows version, so you won’t always find all the latest features on Windows just yet. This isn’t a call for everyone to turn away from Scrivener-each writer needs to find the tool which fits-but the app isn’t ideal for everyone. For some this might be useful, but I prefer to follow a logic that if I don’t remember details without making notes, then how can a reader stand a chance? This can lead into the distraction, as it did for me, of filling out character details and plot overviews. Second, the app guides you down a path that encourages you to think about writing fiction in a certain way. The first is that there’s a lot to learn about the organisation and logic of the app for you to get started. I fall into the second category, for two reasons. It’s an app that has every writing whistle and bell you could imagine for storyboarding, character development, book outlining, target setting, and so on, alongside exporting to Word, PDF, EPUB, Kindle, LaTex, Final Draft, and more.įor some writers it is a way of life, but for others it is overkill. One of the most talked about apps in Facebook writing groups is Scrivener. In this way you will learn the obstacles you face as a writer and be able to select the appropriate technology to overcome them. Write with what you have first, then look at apps that might facilitate better use of time or work around your activities, making the writing process easier and more convenient for you. This doesn’t mean technology won’t assist someone who is already a motivated writer, but expecting an app in and of itself to make you a writer is to set off down a road to disappointment. The idea that being a writer demands you to have the perfect app, or the perfect computer, or a retro piece of kit, like a typewriter, is nonsense. Often technology is a distraction from the task at hand. ![]() Building a professional network can take two paths: a network in your immediate clinical environment or one created through an organization.Professional networks are crucially connected to quality patient care.Networks help you advance your career, provide high-quality care, and support your colleagues.

Wade does all that much, if I'm being perfectly honest," he says. He said he's not as much focused on laws, he's more concerned about how he sees things morally. ![]() Limits on abortion access can also lead to negative health effects and economic hardship, according to one study.ĭes Champs acknowledged that many won't like his message. ![]() Patients seeking abortions will likely increasingly travel to states that will continue to allow them. As things stand now, about half the states would either severely limit abortion or outlaw it entirely. Should the Supreme Court follow through on its draft ruling, laws on abortion would be left to individual states. And it's not up to man to make those decisions, you know, that that's up to whatever higher power you believe in," Des Champs said. That's why I think we need to really push adoption over abortion."ĭes Champs said he believes a person should be allowed to have an abortion in instances where the individual is forced to choose between their own life and that of the fetus, but opposes aborting a fetus over issues such as disabilities and deformities. He added: "I don't expect any woman who does not want a child to take care of their child. "So many people I talked to who are pro-choice, I can tell they haven't been exposed to the pro-life argument." "The charities I'm raising money for provide housing, they provide health care services, they provide ultrasounds and adoption services to women who are abortion-minded in an effort to try to prevent them from going through with an abortion," Des Champs said. His last smile is a symbol of resistance. Majid Kavousifar killed the judge and asked for refugee status in US embassy in UAE. He also wants police to investigate the doctor. Masoud Moghaddasi was a judge who sentenced 3000 people to death in 1988.
