When I first had the idea of creating The Write One, FKA Like It ,Ruff, I wanted to showcase interviews of various individuals from music artists to actors to comedians to motivational speakers. I set out to make contact with these people and create a relationship before asking for the interview. Turns out, there are some pretty cool industry folk out there. All the way down to the publicists. I have so many interviews lined up, I had to create more sections of the magazine. When I first started writing, I was an emcee. I wrote rhymes and performed rap. Then, I ventured into stand up comedy. I wanted to continue entertaining people, but I grew out of the rap artist scene. I tried my hand at making folks laugh. Turns out, I'm pretty good at it. But, I still wanted to write. And not just jokes. I wanted to write, articles, stories about people, places and things. I found The Good Men Project. I started writing articles about once or twice a month. I graduated to writing as a weekly columnist. I perfected my craft and owe much of my success to what I learned while writing for The Good Men Project. I started my own freelance writing company which quickly grew into this magazine, The Write One. And I decided to start each issue with drink reviews, 'M-Bibe' and then an interview, followed by the book of the month. Bless you with a latest concert review, and some exclusive pictures. Then, play a little game of the 'Dozens'. Well, not really the 'Dozens'. Just a little jokey joke section. Then I thought, nobody tells me about any real places that I visit. Let me start by reviewing some of these regular spots for us regular folks. Ain't no reason to be reading about a place you are not going to. 'Been Around the World' is dedicated to the traveler who goes to places like the DC Harbor, the National Museum of African American History. Nothing extra. Lots of local spots. Average hopping, on an average person salary. Now. On the heels of a second edition, yes, volume 2 issue of The Write One, I have made a few changes and additions to the magazine. For starters, I have a new cover format. Hope you like it. I've added movie reviews. Check what Ruff likes in the theaters, today You'll love it. Expect more music reviews and various interviews from guest authors. Please, read and enjoy. And more importantly, share!

Regardless of whether you don't think a lot about lager, you have most likely known about Hops, a key fixing in present day brew making. Notwithstanding working as an additive, Hops give lager a remarkable flavor. The cone-molded bloom arrives in an assortment of strains, and experts can recognize them by their fragrant bundles. Sound commonplace? Due to certain basic highlights, Cannabis sativa and Humulus lupulus are the two most monetarily huge species having a place with a similar plant family—Cannabinaceae. While that doesn't mean much, it is an intriguing tidbit weed and brew fans can celebrate. The mutual compound characteristics among bounces and cannabis are obvious in the manner that each plant smells. The mixes in charge of their tasty aromas are called terpenes. Terpenes are unstable substance intensifies that, notwithstanding smells, express remedial characteristics also. The absolute most basic terpenes found in bounces are beta-pinene, alpha-humulene, and myrcene. These terpenes are likewise ordinarily found in cannabis plants. Another synthetic compound housed in the two bounces and bud are their terpenoids. Terpenoids are subsidiaries of terpenes orchestrated by the way toward drying and relieving of the two plants' blossoms. The terpenoid in charge of a jump's harsh flavor is humulone. Humulone has a place with the class of mixes called alpha acids. The compound is likewise an antimicrobial—it has the antiviral and antibacterial properties that make jumps an utilitarian additive for lager.

Weed and Hops. The Real Connection

Synthetic Characteristics The mutual compound characteristics among Hops and cannabis are obvious in the manner that each plant smells. The mixes in charge of their tasty aromas are called terpenes. Terpenes are unstable substance intensifies that, notwithstanding smells, express remedial characteristics also. The absolute most basic terpenes found in Hops are beta-pinene, alpha-humulene, and myrcene. These terpenes are likewise ordinarily found in cannabis plants. Another synthetic compound housed in the two Hops and bud are their terpenoids. Terpenoids are subsidiaries of terpenes orchestrated by the way toward drying and relieving of the two plants' blossoms. The terpenoid in charge of a Hops 'harsh flavor is humulone. Humulone has a place with the class of mixes called alpha acids. The compound is likewise an antimicrobial—it has the antiviral and antibacterial properties that make Hops an utilitarian additive for lager. The terpenoid that has made cannabis popular is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Like humulone, THC's power is actuated by the way toward drying, restoring, and decarboxylation. THC is the cannabinoid in charge of the mind-adjusting impacts most cannabis aficionados look for while devouring pot.
The two Hops and cannabis are green, resinous blooms. They are also formed too—their buds show up as little cones. Cannabis and Hops leaves likewise share a comparative structure. Bigger humulus leaves and all cannabis leaves are palmately lobed, which implies that the leaves originate from a typical point the way that fingers all spread from a solitary palm. In the two cases, the leaves are serrated along the edges, giving them a rugged appearance. The leaves likewise dependably have stipules (little leaf-like extremities) at the base of their stalks. At last, the two Hops and cannabis come in innumerable assortments or strains, each containing an extraordinary arrangement of flavors and properties. Obviously, pot and Hops contrast physically too. For one, Hops plants develop as vines while cannabis plants develop like trees or brambles. Hops vines can get any longer than cannabis plants can get tall—humulus vines can reach up to 30 feet while the tallest cannabis plants can extend up to 20 feet. Cannabis buds are a lot fuzzier and denser than Hops blossoms, which seem to have little, green, and practically translucent petals.
The Man I Never Met by Adam Shafter ESPN sports examiner Schefter's insightful however impossible to miss diary recounts to his account of experiencing passionate feelings for the widow of a 9/11 injured individual, wedding her, and moving into her home. Partially, Schefter's diary is a tribute to that man, Joe Maio, a Cantor Fitzgerald official who passed on in the World Trade Center assaults. In 2005, Schefter, at that point a games author for the Denver Post, accepted a position with the NFL Network and migrated to New York City; he had an extraordinary activity, yet, at right around 40, he was "single, childless, and lost." Over Memorial Day weekend in 2006, a common companion recommended Schefter call Sharri Maio, who had a six-year-old child; unsure that he needed to date a 9/11 widow, he in any case called Sharri and they went on their first date. In a brief timeframe they experienced passionate feelings for, got hitched, and Schefter moved into a "house in suburbia with a spouse, a youngster, and the memory of Joe." Living in and taking a shot at the house, Schefter discovered that Joe was a decent dad who define high expert objectives for himself. In what at first appears to be a strange idea for a journal, Schefter effectively conveys his delight in discovering adoration and family, and in a companionship with a man he never knew.

RW: Nip. When did you drop your first mixtape? NH: In December 2005, I dropped Slauson Boy Volume 1, which made big waves in the hood. RW: Your music is real dope. I’m especially excited about Victory Lap. You drop a lot of jewels in your music. You seem real business savvy. I like to view myself as a serial entrepreneur. Can you give me and my readers some pointers? NH: As an artist, there's a plan of action that exists within the music business to keep you from having assets, to keep you creating liability after liability. Me owning the masters to my music was only the beginning. This gave me the confidence to be my own boss and get my hustle on legitimately. Hussle is my name for a reason. NH: Then I thought to myself. The buck can’t stop here. From All Money In to Marathon. You can’t just expect that one hot product to be your bread and butter. You go to Disney Land, they got huge amounts of merch. Ears, shirts. Mickey everything. And that is the same vision behind The Marathon. RW: So. Basically. I should diversify my portfolio? NH: Yeah homey. This magazine is dope. But you wanna get all money. From everywhere!

If they make us, the people, believe he was a bad guy, then we believe the shooter may have acted accordingly. And so it went. Zimmerman got off. And on and on, it kept happening. They shot us down, then fed us lies about the victim so that would be okay with the shooting. Propaganda is a hell of a thing! Propaganda shows up all over the place. From news reports to politics all the way to our school systems. With propaganda promoting biased or misleading information to promote an idea or point of view, I’s no wonder it’s found all over the place. We see it so much, now, that we’ve just become so expectant of it and used to it. When I was younger, I used to drink Heineken beer. It was an acquired taste, but every one in movies was drinking it. Now, as I’ve gotten older, I realized that it is a nasty tasting beer. I like craft beers, now. I began drinking Stella Artois. I’ve been drinking Stella Artois for years, now. My friends never used to like it, until, now. It has replaced the Heineken of the movies. My promotion of it was nothing like that of the movie industry. Thanks to that propaganda, my favorite beer is everybody’s favorite beer. Social media is notorious for spreading propaganda of all sorts. It’s so easy. And we, as a society, are so gullible. We believe anything with a picture and a quote. And folks took advantage of that during the election. Those folks are called Internet trolls. They spread lies and propaganda by starting arguments and upsetting people by posting inflammatory, off-topic messages. They’ll show up on your timeline to cause dissension among your friends and followers while posing as a friend or flat out imposter. They’ll show up bashing one candidate to plant the lies in your head so that when it comes time to cast your vote, you have those thoughts lingering. The news will report events differently according to the race of the person in the report. Blacks tend to be described as thugs or merely bad persons. Whites are just people who have committed a crime. Blacks are criminals. Whites are suspects. Blacks appear in the news almost always negatively. Reports surrounding whites tend to be about scientists, doctors and such. Blacks in the news excel in sports. Whites in the news excel in medicine. Leave it up to TV; blacks are mainly good at sports and crime. And whites are great at medicine and science. Don’t believe the hype. I could go on and on. But, instead, I will leave you with this. Propaganda is all around us. Please, remember. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. Do your own research. Investigate any and all tales. Even the ones I have told. Take nothing at face value. Don’t be duped, bamboozled or hoodwinked. Don’t believe the hype.
Any information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view: propaganda. Not only used in politics but in our everyday lives. Ever been watching the news and the report is totally one-sided. Clear as day. And you get upset and start yelling at your TV. Then the commercial breaks in. And all of a sudden, your mood changes. “Oh. Southwest is having a sale on flights. Let’s go somewhere.” Just like that. First, you were force fed one-sided images and then immediately forced to forget about either side by switching your mind to other than the emotion of disgust you once had, only moments ago. Television tells lies through vision. The initial lie that is told is so biased you get upset and scream at the TV. And TV producers know and understand that the public is going to feel this way. So, just in case those feelings are felt. The immediate cover up begins. Switch to a commercial that will calm the current rift and subdue any feelings of disgust with the one-sided imagery. Therefore, salvaging the image in your mind, whether it is wanted or otherwise. You will get the point they are trying to make. Whether you like it or not. We saw it all through the election. We’ve seen it way before the election. But, were you paying attention? When Trayvon Martin got shot, what do you remember about that? I remember a lot. I remember he was a young black male being followed by a white wannabe policeman. I also remember that they said he was a thug and smoked weed and had a small criminal record. Why do I remember this? It’s not important to me. But it is important to the image the TV was trying to portray of him. If they make us, the people, believe he was a bad guy, then we believe the shooter may have acted accordingly. And so it went. Zimmerman got off. And on and on, it kept happening. They shot us down, then fed us lies about the victim so that would be okay with the shooting. Propaganda is a hell of a thing! Propaganda shows up all over the place.

KingJet — "Apparition" Where ghosting can be tragic, LA's KingJet catches the tension of succumbing to somebody in a sincere and infectious bundle. Dreezy — "Chicken Noodle Soup" The opener of Big Dreez lives up the collection title, banished up and promising that Chicago's Dreezy implies huge business, dependably. Sada Baby — "Numb nuts" Nobody raps like Sada Baby, and Bartier Bounty standout "Good for nothing" is confirmation his affectations and rhythm have a place with only him. Summer Walker — "Mob" In less than two minutes, Summer Walker achieves a soul-filled, guitar-drove, emotive accomplishment on "Mob." Solange — "Almeda" Solange's most recent collection is a jazz triumph, a festival of Blackness, and a recognition melody for home. "Almeda" is the same. Little Simz — "Venom" With her best collection to date, Gray Area, added to her repertoire, "Venom" is only one of numerous confirmations that Simz is a fearsome spitter. 2 Chainz — "Danger 2 Society" 2 Chainz may have passed up a JAY-Z stanza on Rap or Go to the League, but "Risk 2 Society" absolutely would have made Hov pleased. DaBaby — "Sitter" Of all the infant rappers at present out, none are more energizing than DaBaby. Press play to hear why. Tierra Whack — "CLONES" Every one of these rappers are Tierra Whack's children, and "CLONES" is only one greater portion in the Tierra Whack Is The Most Exciting Rapper Out Now arrangement.
Every year end, we think back and attempt to recall the best music the year brought to the table. All things considered, probably the best tunes definitely become lost despite a general sense of vigilance. Accordingly, we've chosen to start the truly difficult work in January by beginning a progressing highlight and playlist (see beneath) of the best hip-hop and R&B melodies of 2019. This aticle will be refreshed month after month to enable you to deal with your pivot and guarantee you hear everything advantageous dropping month over month.

André 3000 One of the most grounded, most disturbed tunes off James Blakes' most recent collection, Assume Form. Toro y Moi — "Independent" Toro y Moi shows us a vital exercise on peace on his new collection Outer Peace, and "Independent" is the same. YNW Melly — "No Holidays" We know Melly for "Homicide On My Mind," yet "No Holidays" is a commendable and influencing successor from the Florida rapper's new undertaking We All Shine. Future — "Faceshot" The congregation of Future will dependably say so be it insofar as Future remains as predictable as he does on "Faceshot," a champion from his as of late discharged Future Hndrxx Presents: The WIZRD. Little Simz — "Egotistical" ft. Cleo Sol Little Simz season has arrived, and the dynamic scholar does not frustrate on "Egotistical." Boogie — "Soho" ft. J.I.D Boogie just talks reality on his Shady Records debut, Everything's For Sale, and the jitter of "Soho" is the same.
