Director Antoine Fuqua said his approach to the remake was because the same evils in the original are still with us tyranny and terrorism still prevails as it did in “Seven Samurai.”

How strong would he be, compared to Putin with a Congress?

When are apples, pears or vegetables ripe and ready to pick? Size and color are not always reliable in determining picking time for apples and pears.

The “lift and turn” method is a good way to tell if apples or pears are ready to be picked. A mature apple or pear will fall off the tree when held in the palm of the hand, gently lifted, and turned. If you have to pull, tug or yank the fruit, it’s not ready to be picked.
