The first film I saw with Moses was The Ten Commandments in 1956. The last one I saw was the 2014 Exodus: Gods and Kings. In between was the perfect version – not just for a Bible story, but for movies in general – and that was the Prince of Egypt. Growing up in a deeply devout home, I wasn’t even allowed to go to theaters when I was growing up, but my mom took me to see it when it premiered in 1998 and it has been one of my favorite films ever since. It’s action, adventure, drama, romance, and comedy, not to mention bringing Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey together for “When You Believe,” one of many hits on one of the greatest and most underrated soundtracks of all time.

And Danny Glover played Jethro! Let’s focus on that instead of the list of 90% white actors (Val Kilmer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Sandra Bullock, Ralph Fiennes, Jeff Goldblum, Patrick Stewart, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Helen Mirren, and others) who played people with color. Fun Fact: It wasn’t Danny Glover singing “Through the Eyes of Heaven” when Moses and Tzipporah fell in love too. It was another black actor, Brian Stokes Mitchell, because Danny Glover can’t sing like that. – Jordan Calhoun

As I embarked on the second week of my month-long goal of truly enjoying running, I didn’t expect miracles to happen. Although they are quite an active person overall, That first run was a disaster. But I learned a few things that I could tweak to get me to the point where I can say that while I don’t like running (yet), I hated it less than I did last week than I hated my spiritual one Health in question for volunteering for such an experiment.

First of all, to those of you who recommended it Zombies, run! App, Thanks. One of the things I like about exercising on my elliptical at home is that I can also watch pointless TV while doing it. So it made sense that the lack of entertainment would make walking seem even more of a chore. As it turns out, the trick for me is to go on “missions” to collect supplies and rescue survivors of the zombie apocalypse (and also to hear some tunes in between panicked news from the grassroots). Unlocking the next part of the story offers a bit of motivation to walk out the door.

I found out something else as to why that first run last week was so brutal too. I don’t know how it is possible that this didn’t occur to me right now or even after thinking about it, but folks – I started this run uphill.

I live in a hilly area where I walk a lot and I think I never thought about it much. But who in their right mind would go running for the first time in at least a decade and turn to go uphill? (That girl, apparently.) No wonder my ankles weren’t working properly, for God’s sake.

This week I’ve used the hill to my advantage, as would anyone who really wanted to be strategic about this. I warmed myself up for five minutes by walking briskly up the hill, which got my heart rate pumping. Then I turned and ran and walked alternately first on flat land and then downhill at the end. The terrain got easier as the physical exertion became more difficult and I was pretty happy with myself.

I think using the hill as a warm up helped my ankles feel better during the run, and I was also pleasantly surprised to find myself in epic pain for three days after that first run didn’t come back.

I planned on running at least three times this week but life got in the way so I only made it twice. But that’s twice as much as last week, and I’ve also decided not to force myself to just run as my exercise this month. I want to keep doing the other physical activities that I enjoy so that I don’t unnecessarily torture myself as that would be the opposite of the point. In the end, it’s not just about exercising by running, but seeing running as a simple, easily accessible option that I enjoy with some frequency.

I tracked my running “moods” and on a scale of 1 to 5, with five “Fuck that shit the hell” and one “Whoo-hoo! Running is the best!” And I ended the week on a nice, neutral three I didn’t like it at the moment, but immediately afterwards I felt stronger and more accomplished for doing it, so I think this is a win.

My goals for the next week are three runs, at least one of which is on a scenic trail. My longest run / walk this week was just over 20 minutes. So if I can get that down to 25 minutes it would feel like progress. And I hope that at least one run will appear on or near a “two” on the mood card.

You may not allow your Edge Chromium browser to try to help you save, but it can be annoying when you see a prompt after asking about Cashback Programs and Coupon Savings. Sometimes the deals are great; sometimes they are more annoying than useful.

I like to think of myself as a pretty smart shopper, and I’ve found that prompts like this – and browser extensions similar to these – appear honey– Don’t often improve my shopping experience. Either the websites rarely have a wild promotion code (Amazon) or I shop there strategically because I know a deal is worth it (thanks, Slick deals).

If you’re like me, you can turn off these prompts in Edge Chromium. And maybe you would like since you get them by default after installing the browser for the first time.

How to disable Edge Chromium’s additional services

First, go to the browser’s settings by clicking the three-dot icon in the top right corner and then clicking the settings. Then you want to click Data protection, search and services, and scroll down until you see this Services Section. Look for that in it “Save time and money by shopping in Microsoft Edge” Possibility.

While you’re there, you may want to make sure the Pinterest link is disabled too if you use the browser’s collection feature a lot but don’t need Pinterest that much. The “Address Bar and Search” option also lets you change the default search engine your browser uses when you type something in the address bar. You can also completely disable your browser’s suggestions if you are not a fan.

However, if you intend to stick with the shopping tips, there is no need to wait for your browser to prompt you for a quote on a website. If you’re impatient or the process is flawed for whatever reason, just look for the little price tag icon on the far right of your browser’s address bar. Click that and you’ll be able to see all of the deals, promotions, and other deals Microsoft found everywhere you shop.

The trading card market is hot right now, if not a little overheated – last week one collector pulled a gun against other collectors in a dispute over trading cards at a destinationand called on the company to pull cards off the shelves. While this is an extreme example of the intense demand for trading cards during the pandemic, the soaring prices suggest that you should take a second look at your own collection and look for hidden gems worth getting or selling.

The collector’s market has been good for some time

The trading card market was good even before the pandemic and even outperformed the stock market indices. The PWCC 500 index, which is similar to the S&P 500 for trading cards, reported a 12 year ROI of 175% compared to just 102% for the S&P, according to Axios.

Pokémon collectors have also fed frenzy. As reported by the BBC, a sealed box of early 2000s Pokémon cards that retail for around $ 100; The same box would cost up to $ 50,000 today. Vice also reports that the Pokémon market is so congested that there is one months long waiting list Just to have cards rated by professional card sorters.

Sports tickets are also popular with many high profile sales recently, including a Michael Jordan Rookie card We’re currently bidding at $ 1.4 millionand an “extremely rare” LeBron James rookie card that was sold for $ 5.2 millionand surpasses a Mickey Mantle card sold for the same price in early January.

If your trading cards have any value, you should have them authenticated and graded by card grading services like the Professional Sports Authenticator or PSA (although again they do). Expect delays). Whether or not you actually sell it is up to you.

What are the disadvantages of investing in trading cards?

The most important thing to remember about trading cards is that they are only worth what someone else is willing to pay. When the market suddenly dries up, the book value from a price leader means nothing. Traders will also tell you that lining up a buyer is not always easy, and some cards vary in how easy they are to sell.

You also need to know what to look for. The chances of finding one Honus Wagner card In your attic, the value is extremely low, so you need to identify undervalued cards by keeping up with new collections and trends (this is why most professional traders start out as hobbyists).
