1. overt

   That is apparent which clearly appears to the senses or to the mind as soon as the attention is directed toward it; that is evident of which the mind is made sure by some inference that supplements the facts of perception; the marks of a struggle were apparent in broken shrubbery and trampled ground, and the finding of a mutilated body and a rifled purse made it evident that robbery and murder had been committed. That is manifest which we can lay the hand upon; manifest is thus stronger than evident, as touch is more absolute than sight; that the picture was a modern copy of an ancient work was evident, and on comparison with the original its inferiority was manifest. That is obvious which is directly in the way so that it can not be missed; as, the application of the remark was obvious. Visible applies to all that can be perceived by the sense of sight, whether the noonday sun, a ship on the horizon, or a microscopic object. Discernible applies to that which is dimly or faintly visible, requiring strain and effort in order to be seen; as, the ship was discernible through the mist. That is conspicuous which stands out so as necessarily or strikingly to attract the attention. Palpable and tangible express more emphatically the thought of manifest.

   The message we want to get out is if you think you’ve got celiac disease, don’t just go on a gluten-free diet, test for it. i hope doctors keep in mind that celiac disease is a very frequent food intolerance, which should be investigated not only in patients with diarrhea and overt malabsorption, but also in people (with other symptoms).

4. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei:

   They created the myth of nuclear weapons so they could say the Islamic Republic is a source of threat. No, the source of threat is America itself, with its unrestrained, destabilizing interventions, the other side is methodically and shamelessly threatening us militarily ... even if they did not make these overt threats, we would have to be prepared.

5. Keegan Hankes:

   It doesn't take an overt slur for these individuals to basically become emboldened and to recognize and be excited by policies that they see would further their goals, when they hear the President say things like,' I'm not a racist,' they turn around amongst themselves and say,' He just has to say that for practical reasons,'' he just has to say that basically to get himself cover, to do the things that we want him to do,'.
