How to type single quotes on the keyboard. MY adept travel notes

For some time now, TheBat's built-in certificate database for SSL has stopped working correctly (it is not clear for what reason).

When checking the post, an error appears:

Unknown CA certificate
The server did not present a root certificate in the session and the corresponding root certificate was not found in the address book.
This connection cannot be secret. Please
contact your server administrator.

And you are offered a choice of answers - YES / NO. And so every time you remove mail.

Solution

In this case, you need to replace the S/MIME and TLS implementation standard with Microsoft CryptoAPI in the TheBat settings!

Since I needed to combine all the files into one, I first converted everything doc files into a single pdf file(by using Acrobat programs), and then transferred it to fb2 through an online converter. You can also convert files individually. The formats can be absolutely any (source) - doc, jpg, and even a zip archive!

The name of the site corresponds to the essence :) Online Photoshop.

Update May 2015

I found another great site! Even more convenient and functional for creating a completely custom collage! This is the site http://www.fotor.com/ru/collage/. Enjoy it for your health. And I will use it myself.

In my life I came across the problem of repairing an electric stove. I’ve already done a lot, learned a lot, but somehow had little to do with tiles. It was necessary to replace the contacts on the regulators and burners. The question arose - how to determine the diameter of the burner on an electric stove?

The answer turned out to be simple. You don’t need to measure anything, you can easily determine by eye what size you need.

Smallest burner- this is 145 millimeters (14.5 centimeters)

Middle burner- this is 180 millimeters (18 centimeters).

And finally, the most large burner- this is 225 millimeters (22.5 centimeters).

It is enough to determine the size by eye and understand what diameter you need the burner. When I didn’t know this, I was worried about these dimensions, I didn’t know how to measure, which edge to navigate, etc. Now I'm wise :) I hope I helped you too!

In my life I faced such a problem. I think I'm not the only one.

Paired punctuation is primarily used to convey ironic meaning or to highlight quotations, direct speech, and references. It happens that the author puts words or phrases in quotation marks because the term he uses is not known to everyone, or tries to emphasize the meaning of the phrase in an unusual sense, thereby probably ridiculing some character from his story.

Sometimes the "word" is enclosed in the upper even symbols.

This punctuation mark is paired. It denotes direct speech, or a word that is used in a meaning that does not correspond to the usual one - for example, in the opposite. There are several types. The names came from the country where they were invented and from the similarity of the outline with certain objects.

Used in different scripts different quotes according to... Probably tradition. Yes, there are rules for punctuation, but they do not specify the type. There are standards for typographical typesetting for which, ordinary people they can give a damn. So, according to tradition, we (in Russia) use “Christmas tree” quotes. If you need to put them inside an already quoted part of the text, the external and internal characters must be different. The nested ones are the “legs” (““…”). In addition, when writing by hand and in print, the appearance may be different. In the good old days, when I still wrote by hand, the so-called Polish ones were always used (see below). However, fonts are not drawn entirely uniformly.

Konstantin the Philosopher was the first to try to introduce rules for placing quotation marks for Slavic scripts. In the 15th century, he wrote a treatise “On Writing”. It was proposed to highlight special characters quotes from church texts. The images of these symbols were very similar to modern herringbone quotes.
