How did the words ok and viz originate
While no ones sure of the origin of ok , there are a handful of popular explanations. One view is that it derives from the Scot expression och aye , the Greek ola kala (it is good), Choctaw Indian oke or okeh (it is so), French aux Cayes (from Cayes, a port in Haiti with a reputation for good rum) or au quai (to the quay, French), or the initials of a railway freight agent called Obediah Kelly, who wrote them on documents he checked. The oldest written references to OK are its adoption as a slogan by the Democratic Party during the American Presidential election of 1840. Their candidate, President Martin Van Buren, was nicknamed Old Kinderhook (his birthplace ) and his supporters formed the OK Club , thus popularizing the term. Viz is an abbreviation of Videlicet from Latin, meaning that is to say, namely etc. Viz. is believed to have originated in 1540.
What is en passant capture in chess
En passant capture is a special type of move with which pawns can take other pawns, under specific rules. A player moves his pawn two squares, from his second row to his fourth row. There is a pawn of the opponent that can capture the squares passed over by the pawn. In that case, this pawn of the opponent has the right to capture en passant in the directly following move. To capture en passant, the opponents pawn goes to the square passed over by the pawn, thus moving diagonally forwards.

Bloom where you are planted. You have a choice to get back up after temporary set backs. Attitude is a small thing that makes a big difference!
2. Direction
If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there. Write your short term goals down on paper. I have discovered and continue to discover that putting your dreams and goals down on paper lock in or focus your belief that they can be achieved--even if you have to take a course correction in achieving your goals. Success comes in cans, failure comes in can'ts.
3. Values
Explore what is important to you. Maybe it is family, friends, your spirituality or working hard at any given task. I can assure you that your priorities will change as you grow older. Very important that you value yourself and treat yourself like the valuable gift from God that you are.
4. Interests
Birds of a feather flock together. This is to say that if you are hanging around winners or others with a "can do" mind-set, you'll likely adapt to this same kind of thinking. Remember--"SUCCESS LEAVES CLUES!
5. Commitment
Feelings may change, commitments do not. "Success is getting up one more time than you fall." I have often wanted to give up, and then I must think to myself about what the consequences of giving up will be. Generally, this is more than enough of a motivation to make us stick to the task at hand even if we don't feel like it. When the task is achieved, Whow!--IT FEELS GREAT!
6. Encouragement
Be an encourager and comforter to friends that are feeling discouraged. I promise that you will not regret this as you will be encouraged by one, if not many, when you are feeling down. Encouragement and love are contagious qualities that can change the minds of the most stubborn and "hard-to-get- along-with" people you know. I have seen it happen over and over again.
