The most beautiful quotes about mountains
The mountain has always been a tremendous source of inspiration throughout the ages. From the philosopher to the mountaineer to the writer, it fascinates everyone. Here is a selection of the most beautiful quotes about the mountain.
"The mountains live only from the love of men. Where the houses, then the trees, then the grass are exhausted, is born the sterile, wild, mineral kingdom; however, in its extreme poverty, in its total nakedness, it dispenses a richness that is priceless: the happiness that one discovers in the eyes of those who frequent it"
"The mountain offers us the scenery... It's up to us to invent the story that goes with it!
Nicolas HELMBACHER
"The mountaineer is a man who leads his body where, one day, his eyes have looked... "
"Culture is the source of all creativity. That of geography and the history of mountaineering makes us look at the Alpine arc as an evidence, a beauty, a line to follow. A line, not the line! Like a line in a face".
Patrick Bérhault
"With the mountain, one discovers oneself as a reed, pushed to pierce holes in the right places so that the breath of life passes through and the most beautiful music possible comes out".
Lionel Daudet
"Climb if you want to, but never forget that courage and strength are nothing without caution, and that a single moment of carelessness can destroy a lifetime of happiness. Never act hastily, be careful with every step.
And from the beginning think that this may be the end."
Edward Whymper
"I have only done what I knew I could do. It is a question of will, the very basis ... But the will is also sacrifice and suffering, because to want it is necessary to suffer".
Riccardo Cassin
"When you have reached the top of the mountain, keep climbing".
Tibetan proverb
"I have often bivouacked to wait for the good weather, spent nights in the storm... In a storm, there is nothing to do but sit. And wait for it to pass, scared to death ..."
Chris Bonington
"Luck, we all have it to some degree. But we must not provoke it too much..."
"To my mountains, grateful, infinitely, for the inner well-being that my youth took from their severe school"
Walter Bonatti
"I have always felt extremely fragile in the face of the elements: on the one hand, a skeleton with flesh around it; on the other, the forces that one rubs against, the rock, the ice, the storm"
René Desmaison
"I am not suicidal. I am afraid of dying, especially of the way to die. This fear is my life insurance. I don't try to know my limits, because the day I know them I won't go home to talk about them".
Erhard Loretan
"Old age is like climbing a mountain. The higher you climb, the more tired and out of breath you are, but how much your vision has broadened!"
"The mountain offers man everything that modern society forgets to give him"
"An ascent to Mont Blanc is a thrilling drama of interest played out on the most beautiful and most awful theater in the world"
"This landscape does not belong to us, we borrow it from our children"
"What you experience at the top changes you profoundly and becomes indispensable to you..."
"These mountains have all their history and make you live these moments of inspiration where you are completely cut off from the world below"
"In short, beauty is everywhere. It is not beauty that is missing in our eyes, it is our eyes that are missing to see it".
"Here, more than anywhere else, the eyes and the heart merge".
"What is the point of lifting mountains when it is so simple to go over them?"
"On top of the peaks you realize that snow, sky and gold have the same value".
"The Alps is a deep country where the sky, tired of being blue, lay down on the mountain"
"When drunkenness comes, we will lie down on the bare mountain with the sky for a blanket, and the earth for a pillow"
Li Po
"It is not in the mountains that one stumbles, but on small pebbles"
It is extremely rare that the mountain is steep on all sides".
"The higher the mountain, the deeper the valley"
Alsatian proverb
The mountain is disconcerting. Its landscape is wrinkled and secret. Words and habits stumble over the passes".
"A man without faults is a mountain without cracks. I am not interested in him".
"Better one more piton than one less climber".
Georges Livanos
One hour of climbing in the mountains makes a scoundrel and a saint two creatures more or less alike. Fatigue is the shortest way to equality, to brotherhood. And during sleep, freedom is added".
"Switzerland is not so great: take away the mountains, what is left?"
"The silence of the mountains is even more beautiful when the birds have fallen silent"
"Faith lifts mountains but lets them happily fall on the heads of those who do not have it"
Between the shores of the oceans and the summit of the highest mountain is a secret road that you must travel before you become one with the sons of the Earth.
The only Zen thoughts you can find on top of a mountain are the ones you bring with you".
Robert Pirsig
"He who takes advice crosses the mountain; he who takes none takes the wrong road even on the plain".
Turkish proverb
"Success is like climbing a mountain, you have to work as a team, face obstacles and bad weather, but no matter what, we always reach the top".
Martin Paquette
"When you have walked for two hours on a mountain, you are smarter".
Coline Serreau
A man who wants to seduce a woman must cross mountains, a girl who wants to seduce a man has only a paper wall to cross".
The will allows to climb on the summits; without will, one remains at the foot of the mountain".

Favorites? I love my Impastable Pasta by ThinSlim Foods. I could eat the entire bag in a day without feeling even a little guilty about it. I also love pizza, therefore that low-carb pizza crust is a have-to-have. And finally, every single muffin, particularly that double chocolate muffin, looks incredible.
After ground turkey has been cooked, sauté in bolognese sauce until completely heated.
Place 1/4 cup of turkey on plate and top with ricotta.
Coat with remaining turkey bolognese.
This looks so good and I LOVE that its single serving! I rarely make lasagna because I'm just cooking for myself and can only handle so many leftovers of the same dish.
That's exactly why so many of my dishes are single serving 🙂 My husband is always eating something different than me (let's be honest, I'm a total health freak and sometimes can't commit to all-the-time Pizza Hut lol), so I love cooking for one (or for two, but separate meals). Plus, I get to eat the entire thing!


Very Good Test of Golf AND Stamina!
This club, opened in 1995, has a large modern clubhouse with a pleasant patio area and a friendly atmosphere. Before our round, a member, on hearing us say that we'd not played here before, was happy to offer advice. He said we were in for a 'treat' with the greens - but "keep your ball below the hole" and also warned us about the rough.
The first hole finishes steeply downhill, giving an indication of what to expect here, but remember that sometime you have to go back uphill!
Some narrow fairways, well-placed ponds, bunkers and hedges make accurate tee shots essential, so a driver may not always be the best option. 2 or 3 holes could be almost driveable on the right day, but that warning about the rough should be heeded - it can be very penal.
The course is very well maintained throughout and a pleasure to play. The fast greens are as good as I've experienced, but subtle borrows make them difficult to read and - yes, downhill putts can get away from you!
This was the hottest day of the year so far (25.07) but mature trees and wooded areas provide shade - just take plenty of water and consider hiring a buggy if fitness is not to 'Olympic' standard!
Really enjoyed the course. The greens are tougher than they look!! Putting was tricky to say the least. Also the holes are not straight forward. I strongly suggest not taking the driver on every hole. Position is the Key. Hole 9 and 10 are reachable from the tee, which i managed to achieve!!!! All in all a great course and beautifully kept.

FRUITS AND VEGETABLES; YOUR DIETARY ESSENTIALS
International Year of Fruits and Vegetables 2021
The UN General Assembly designated 2021 the International Year of Fruits and Vegetables (IYFV). The IYFV 2021 is a unique opportunity to raise awareness on the important role of fruits and vegetables in human nutrition, food security and health and as well in achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Fruits and vegetables in numbers
Up to 50 percent of fruits and vegetables produced in developing countries are lost in the supply chain between harvest and consumption.
It can take up to 50 litres of water to produce an orange. Losses in fruits and vegetables represent a waste of increasingly scarce resources such as soil and water.
Digital innovations make it possible to track and trace fresh produce from production to consumption. This broadens market opportunities, reduces losses and waste and makes the value chain more transparent.
The large diversity of fruits and vegetables offers options that are adapted to different production systems and markets.
Production of high-value fruits and vegetables can be profitable, compared to other crops, from small amounts of land, water and nutrients.
COVID-19 has demonstrated the importance of short and inclusive value chains – including for fruits and vegetables – as a way to provide better market opportunities for family farmers in urban and peri-urban areas.

For most of us, the holidays are time for family. And that often means hosting mom and dad, brother and sister, aunt and uncle, grandma and grandpa (or all of the above!) in our homes until the New Year.
Part of being a good holiday hostess is setting up your home in a way that welcomes your guests in comfort. Instead of waiting for your sister-in-law to ask for an extra towel, set out a pile of fluffy new ones so she doesn't feel like she has to bother you. It's the little things that make a difference — and your loved ones will appreciate it!
We spoke to interior designer Kendall Wilkinson to get her expert advice on how to prepare your home for overnight guests this season. Read on for a Q&A with her tips, and see what items you may need before the holidays arrive.
Q: What do you think are the most important amenities to have on hand for guests?
Q: What sorts of things do guests not like to ask for? What can hosts help provide?
A: I always try to be prepared in case my guest has forgotten an essential item — I have spare toothbrushes on hand, lovely soaps, shampoo and the like. I put out extra blankets and pillows in the guest room, and in the kitchen, set out coffee and tea for early risers.
Q: What extra amenities can make a guest room/bathroom feel a little extra luxurious, without a lot of effort?
A: It's really thoughtful to personalize the space for guests — set out books or magazines your guest might enjoy, fresh flowers or a carafe filled with water.
Q: What are a few logistical things homeowners should prepare for with older family members or young children?
A: If I have guests with small children, I always make an extra effort to make them feel welcome. I will place stuffed animals on their beds and pull out some of the picture books I read to my boys when they were younger. For older guests, I try to accommodate them in a room which doesn't require navigating a lot of stairs (and perhaps one located a bit further from my active boys!).
Q: How can holiday decor help guests feel welcome?
A: One's home should be welcoming throughout the year but it somehow seems even more important during the holidays. I adore all of the festive decorations — greenery, metallic sparkle, the twinkle of lights. It's magical, even more so when sharing the season with friends and family.

G. K. Chesterton once observed that all of Charles Dickens's novels could be titled Great Expectations, for they are full of an unsubstantial yet ardent expectation of everything. Nevertheless, as Chesterton pointed out with irony, the only book to which Dickens actually gave the title was one in which most of the expectations are never realized. To the Victorians, the word "expectations" meant legacy as well as anticipations. In that closed society, one of the few means by which a person born of the lower or lower-middle class could rise to wealth and high status was through inheritance. A major theme of the Victorian social novel involved a hero's passage through the class structure, and a major vehicle of that passage was money bestowed upon him, acquired through marriage, or inherited. Unlike many nineteenth century novels that rely upon the stale plot device of a surprise legacy to enrich the fortunate protagonists, Great Expectations probes deeply into the ethical and psychological dangers of advancing through the class system by means of wealth acquired from the toil of others.
Although the story of Pip's expectations dominates the novel, he is not the only person who waits to benefit from the money of another. His beloved Estella, the ward of Miss Havisham, is wholly dependent upon the caprices of the unstable old woman. Moreover, other characters are the mysterious instrumentalities of legacies. The solicitor Jaggers, who acts as the legal agent for both Miss Havisham and Abel Magwitch, richly benefits from his services. Even his lackey Mr. Wemmick, a mild soul who changes his personality from lamb to wolf to please his employer, earns his living from the legal machinery of the courts. Just as the source of Pip's money is revealed at last to be socially corrupted, so the uses of tainted wealth inevitably bring about corruption.
In Bleak House (1852-1853), Dickens had already explored with great skill the ruthless precincts of the law courts. His next three novels—Hard Times (1854), Little Dorrit (1855-1857), and A Tale of Two Cities (1859)—were not so well sustained and were, despite memorable scenes, less popular with the critics and public alike. Great Expectations (1860-1861, first published serially in All the Year Round) restored Dickens's supremacy with his vast reading audience. Serious, controlled, and nearly as complex structurally as Bleak House, the novel also reminded Victorian readers of David Copperfield (1849-1850). Both are apprenticeship novels that treat the life education of a hero. Great Expectations is somewhat less autobiographical than David Copperfield, but it repeats the basic formula of the genre: that of an honest, rather ingenuous but surely likable young man who, through a series of often painful experiences, learns important lessons about life and himself. These lessons are always designed to reveal the hero's limitations. As he casts off his own weaknesses and better understands the dangers of the world, he succeeds by advancing through the class system and ends up less brash, a chastened but wiser man.
Great Expectations differs from David Copperfield, however, in the ways that the hero matures to self-knowledge. In the beginning, both David and Pip are young snobs (Pip more than David). Both suffer the traumas of a shattered childhood and troubled adolescence, but David's childhood suffering is fully motivated on the basis of his separation from loved ones. An innocent, he is the victim of evil that he does not cause. Pip, on the other hand, suffers from a childhood nightmare that forms a pattern of his later experience. An orphan like David, he lives with his brutal sister and her husband, the gentle blacksmith Joe Gargery. The abuse he endures from Mrs. Joe is more than compensated for by the brotherly affection of this simple, generous man. He also wins the loving sympathy of Biddy, another loyal friend. Nevertheless, he is not satisfied, and when he comes upon the convicts in the fog and is terrified, he feels a sense of guilt—misplaced but psychologically necessary—as much for his crimes against his protectors as for the theft of a pork pie. Thereafter, his motives, cloudy as the scene of his childhood terror, are weighted with secret apprehension and guilt. To regain his lost innocence, he must purge himself of the causes of this guilt.
Pip's life apprenticeship, therefore, involves his gaining a full understanding of his "crimes" against loved ones and of the ways to redeem himself. The causes of his guilt are, in order of severity, snobbish pride, his betrayal of friends and protectors, and finally his participation in the machinery of corruption.
As a snob, he not only breaks the social mold into which he has been cast but lords it over the underlings and unfortunates of the class system. Because of his presumed great expectations, he believes himself to be superior to the humbler Joe and Biddy. He makes such a pompous fool of himself that Trabb's boy—that brilliant comic invention, at once naughty boy and honest philosopher—parodies his absurd airs and pretensions. His snobbery, however, costs him a dearer price than humiliation by an urchin. He falls in love with Estella, like himself a pretender to high social class, only to be rejected in favor of a worthless cad, Bentley Drummle. His fanciful dreams of social distinction are shattered forever when he learns the bitter truth about his benefactor, who is not the highborn Miss Havisham but the escaped convict Magwitch, the wretched stranger of his terror in the fog.
As Pip comes to understand the rotten foundations for his social position, he also learns terrible truths about his own weaknesses. Out of foolish pride, he betrays his most loyal friends, Joe and Biddy. In a sense, he even betrays Miss Havisham. He mistakes her insanity for mere eccentricity and allows her to act out her fantasies of romantic revenge. When he tries to confront her with the reality of her life, he is too late, for she expires in flames. He is almost too late to come to the service of his real benefactor, Magwitch. He is so disturbed with the realization of the convict's sacrifice that he nearly flees from the old man when he is in danger. At best, he can repay Magwitch with gratitude, not love, and his sense of guilt grows from his understanding that he cannot ever repay his debt to a man he secretly loathes.
Pip's final lesson is that, no matter how pure might be his motives, he is one of the instruments of social corruption. In a sense, he is the counterpart to the malcontent Dolge Orlick. Like Orlick, he was as a youth an apprentice at the forge, but he was fortunate in having moved upward into society, Orlick, consumed by hatred, fails in every enterprise. In chapter 53, a climactic scene of the novel, Orlick confronts his enemy and blames Pip for all of his failures. He even accuses Pip of responsibility for the death of Mrs. Joe. The charge is paranoiac and false: Orlick is the murderer. In his almost hallucinatory terror, however, Pip psychologically accepts Orlick's reasoning. As a child, Pip hated his sister. If he is not the active instrument of her death, he nevertheless profits from it. Similarly, Pip profits from the hard-earned toil of Magwitch. Indeed, most of the success he enjoys, thanks to the astute protection of Mr. Jaggers, comes not as his due but for a price, the payment of corrupted money. Since he is the ignorant recipient of the fruits of corruption, his psychological guilt is all the greater.
Nevertheless, Pip, though chastened, is not destroyed by guilt. During the course of his apprenticeship to life, he learns valuable truths about himself and about his limitations. By the end of his career, when his apprenticeship is over and he is a responsible, mature being, he has cast off petty pride, snobbery, and the vexations of corrupted wealth. Although he loses his innocence forever, he can truly appreciate Herbert, Joe, and Biddy, all of whom retain their integrity. When he turns to Estella, also chastened by her wretched marriage to the sadistic Bentley, he has at least the hope of beginning a new life with her, one founded on an accurate understanding of himself and the dangers of the world.
The narrator of Great Expectations, Philip Pirrip or Pip, is one in a legion of orphans who inhabit the fictional world of Charles Dickens a standard sympathetic figure disadvantaged from childhood through no fault of his own. What little Pip knows of his parents is derived from their tombstones, and it is from these that Pip attempts to derive an image of them. Parenthood and above all, a search for paternity is plainly a prominent theme in the novel, and it is clearly interlaced with Pip's quest for his own identity.
Dickens presents three male figures who might serve as a surrogate male parent to Pip and who are roughly analogous to the heart, the soul, and the mind of fatherhood. Pip's brother-in-law, Joe, functions as a stepfather of sorts to the child Pip, and because he is a good-hearted, uncomplicated individual, Joe possesses the qualification of genuine concern for the boy. But Joe's efforts to shield the much younger Pip from the "tickler" of his domineering wife, Mrs. Joe, are pathetically ineffective, for the unschooled smith lacks the confidence required to serve as a self-assured father. At a fairly early juncture in the text, we learn from Pip that Joe is uncomfortable in the trappings of an adult social role, that, "nothing that he wore then, fitted him or seemed to belong to him; and everything that he wore then, grazed him" (p.23). Unlike Pip, Joe undergoes no character development whatsoever in the course of Great Expectations. He remains a child-like individual.
Then there is Abel Magwitch, the deep soul of Pip's quest for a father. Initially frightened by the fugitive in chains, it is only under a felt duress that Pip agrees to assist him by stealing food and a file. But when Pip voluntarily expresses an interest in his well-being, saying that he hopes that Magwitch enjoys the "vittles" that he has brought him, the felon responds in kind, saying "thankee, my boy, I do" (p.19). A bond develops between Magwitch and Pip. A few chapters into the text, Pip begins to refer to this desperate character as "my convict." Magwitch is an orphan himself and so he can identify with the parentless Pip, and it is, of course, Magwitch (not Miss Havisham) who is Pip's actual benefactor. But Magwitch remains outside the ken of normal society, and, worse, he harbors a desire to take revenge against Compeyson. By virtue of this baggage, he cannot become the father for whom Pip is searching.
Lastly, there is Mr. Jagger, the eminently skilled and taciturn attorney who administers Pip's affairs in London. In Jagger, Pip encounters a potential father figure who is fully able to provide him with the funds, the knowledge and a personal model for his transformation into a full-fledged gentleman. Jagger is the rational mind of Pip's prospective father. Yet that is all he is. Jagger has no personal feelings toward the youth or toward anyone else for that matter. After informing Pip that all of the necessary credit arrangements have been made on his behalf, Jagger abruptly terminates their conversation by remarking, "'Of course, you'll go wrong somehow, but that's no fault of mine'" (p.169). It is not Pip but the ruthless Bentley Drummle who Mr. Jagger is closest to in a paternal spirit. Ultimately, Pip fails in his quest to find a father and the fond relationship between the clerk Wemmick and his aged parent only underscore this failure.
Social and emotional isolation is a natural thematic correlate of Pip's orphan status. When we first see the boy Pip, he is alone in the graveyard and while he has some connection to Joe, the depth of their contact with each other is constrained by Joe's menial vocation and, above all, by Mrs. Joe's view of her younger brother as an irredeemable delinquent. Many of the other major characters in Great Expectations are socially or emotionally alienated. Mrs. Joe is devoid of any companions, Mr. Jagger is without peers, Estella is raised by Miss Havisham to reject all romantic overtures. As for Miss Havisham herself, she exists in complete separation from society (and from reality), cultivating a vindictive scheme to avenge her perpetual role as a jilted spinster.

MORE METRO SCHOOLS TO RESUME IN-PERSON CLASSES
Look, ma, no barriers: Makati classrooms get techier vs virus
By: Jane Bautista - @inquirerdotnet
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 05:32 AM December 03, 2021
DID YOU MISS ME? With face masks on, Grade 3 pupils at Comembo Elementary School in Makati City ease back into their usual classroom activities during Thursday's "simulation" of in-person classes, after almost two years of missing each other and their teachers. —RICHARD A. REYES
There will be no plastic barriers when Comembo Elementary School (CES) in Makati City welcomes its students participating in the limited in-person classes on Monday.
Instead, CES, one of the biggest public schools in the city, has decided to go for the "more scientific" air purifiers and ultraviolet C (UVC) lights inside the classrooms to ensure proper ventilation and help protect the children from virus transmission.
Aside from the UVC lights and air purifiers, the school also has automatic thermal scanners at the entrance to monitor the temperature of students before they enter the premises.
Gone in milliseconds
Carleen Sedilla, schools division superintendent, said this was what made CES, as well as the city of Makati, unique among the participating pilot schools in the limited face-to-face classes: their safety protocols are based on science and studies.
Since parents were concerned about the tendency of kids to remove their face masks, Sedilla said, the UVC lights would help in killing the virus in milliseconds while the air purifier would clean the lower area, covering the entire classroom.
Every classroom in the school that would be used in the in-person classes was equipped with the UVC lights and air purifier.
'Comfortable'
During the simulation test of CES on Thursday, Sedilla told reporters that more schools in the city slated to join the limited in-person classes would be provided with the safety equipment that came from the local government.
"The whole classroom is protected so the children, and even the teacher, would be comfortable and [feel like] it is just a regular classroom setting," she said
Makati Mayor Abby Binay said the lights and air purifiers would be useful even after the pandemic because they are designed to kill any type of virus as compared to the physical barriers, which would serve no purpose when the health crisis is over.
Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto has also decided to drop the use of plastic barriers in the classrooms.
The Department of Education (DepEd) has given an advisory on the use of plastic barriers, citing experts' advice that these could even be harmful.
"One of the inputs from the DOH (Department of Health) is there are also findings that putting up these barriers sometimes it impedes air circulation, and second it also increases surface area that may be contaminated, increases the surface area for disinfection," Education Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan said in an ANC interview.
DepEd confirmed also on Thursday that some schools from Metro Manila will finally join the pilot study on Dec. 6—three weeks after 100 public schools started on Nov. 15.
Kindergarten to Grade 3CES is one of the biggest elementary schools in Makati, Sedilla said, noting that the low number of COVID-19 infections in the community was among the considerations for its inclusion in the pilot study.
About 72 learners of the school's 2,464 student population will join the pilot run on Monday. Following DepEd's guidelines, only Kindergarten to Grade 3 students will take part in the face-to-face classes.
All the school staff from the heads down to the utility personnel are fully vaccinated. Antigen test kits are also available in case the participants exhibit any symptoms during the conduct of in-person classes.
No parents allowed
Parents are not allowed to enter the school premises to avoid convergence. The school has set up a holding area instead where they can pick up their children after classes.
For those who live far from the school, a transportation service from the local government called "Dyipni Maki" will pick up and drop off the students to their respective areas.
Barangay staff and members of the parent-teacher association are assigned to oversee the pickup points of the service.Based on the list released by DepEd, a total of 177 schools will join the pilot run next week, 28 of which are from the National Capital Region.

On March 31, 1776, Abigail Adams implored her husband John to "Remember the Ladies" when it came time to create a set of laws for an independent United States. Last March, we profiled Mary Katherine Goddard, the postmaster and printer of Baltimore whose broadside of the Declaration of Independence made known the names of the signers. This month, we highlight just a handful of the remarkable ladies whose stories are connected to our research on the Declaration of Independence.

IV. Of the present ability of America, with some miscellaneous reflections.
The Pennsylvania Evening Post printed the above advertisement on January 9, 1776. This pamphlet written by Thomas Paine (though the world didn't know that yet) spread like wildfire through the American colonies, with Paine claiming in his later work Rights of Man that over 100,000 copies of Common Sense had been sold. Paine and Bell's timing could not have been better — in that same issue of the Pennsylvania Evening Post, on the same page as the advertisement for Common Sense in fact, was the text of a speech King George III delivered in Parliament on October 27, 1775. A speech that expanded on the King's earlier Proclamation of Rebellion and included inflammatory remarks such as "When the happy and deluded multitude... shall become sensible of their error, I shall be ready to receive the misled with tenderness and mercy!" Enter Paine's pamphlet, which argued that "the sun never shined on a cause of greater worth" and "the last cord is now broken".
Since it was first printed in Philadelphia, some of the first readers of Common Sense were the delegates to the Second Continental Congress. Some were thrilled by Common Sense, while others appreciated the section on American independence and dismissed the rest of it. As Steven Pincus explains in The Heart of the Declaration, "perhaps no single piece of writing did more to articulate the importance of unmaking the British Empire than Thomas Paine's Common Sense," but the plan of government described in the pamphlet "was a far cry from that envisioned by most Patriots." One delegate in particular "dreaded the Effect so popular a pamphlet might have, among the People" (any guesses who?). Find out what these soon-to-be signers of the Declaration of Independence thought about Common Sense, which signer took credit for giving the pamphlet its name, and how John Adams responded to the "Disastrous Meteor", Thomas Paine.


India skipper Virat Kohli has insisted it would be a perfect opportunity for the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal and Parvez Rasool to seal their places in the T20I side, come the England series.
India are set to play a three-match T20I series against England with the first match scheduled to be played on January 26 at Green Park, Kanpur. The new skipper has backed both spinners to play to their potential as he has observed them from close during their time at RCB in the IPL.
The BCCI, on Monday, decided to rest the two premier spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the wake of the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh and Australia in February.
With both premier bowlers rested, the Board has called Rasool to the national team. The upcoming series provides a perfect chance to showcase his caliber against the mighty English batting line-up, which contains some of the best power hitters in the world at the moment.
On the other hand, Chahal looked decent in the warm-up game as he came back well in his spell after going for plenty of runs in the initial overs. However, he'll not have so much time in the T20 game as he'll need to get his lines straight from the very first ball.
Both will need to play their best in the match as other spinners like Amit Mishra and Kuldeep Yadav are also in the ranks and could very well be called if the duo do not bowl to their potential in the upcoming T20I games.
I am a sports enthusiast. Primarily a football fan these days post the golden era of Indian cricket.
Can the Caribbean tour spell the end of the BCCI era and the start of the 'Team India' era?

1st PUC Political Science as a Discipline Five Marks Questions and Answers
Discuss the evolution of political science.
Man can understand the world with the help of science. Science is classified into different divisions such as physical science, biological science, and social science. Physical science helps us to discover new innovations, Biological science helps us to know nature. Social science helps us to know- the world in different dimensions. Social science includes history, economics, sociology, political science, geography, psychology, Ethics, philosophy, etc. Political science is one of the important branches of social science and occupies a very significant role in understanding the evolution of human beings.
The subject matter of political science is an ancient one. The ancient Greek philosophers have laid a good foundation for political science. In fact, the ancient Indian thinkers have referred to the concepts of political science in their works and historical documents. References are made on the state administration in the works of Kautilya in 'Arthashatra1, Shukraneetisara of Shukra and Manusmirthi of Manu. But these works are focused more on religious consciousness rather than political awareness.
Hence the study of political science was neither systematic nor scientific during that period. The credit for developing the theory of political science on a systematic and scientific basis rightly goes to the Greeks. Socrates a great ancient Greek philosopher contributed his political thinking through dialogues.
Plato emphasized his political views in his work 'The Republic'. Whereas, Aristotle went a step ahead and made his approach to the study of political science more realistic. He laid a scientific foundation for the study of political science and regarded it as the "Supreme science". He expressed his political thinking in his familiar work "The Politics". In the modem context, Machiavelli of Italy added a new dimension to the study of political science in his great work "The prince".
Aristotle says that man by nature is a social animal. He born in society, live in society and die in society only. To fulfill his needs, he created society. In society only he can enjoy all the facility's love and affection. Away from society he maybe God or ghost. Man is a social being at the same time he is a political being also.
He is a selfish, egoist and quarrelsome by nature. The attitudes of selfish, egoist and jealousy of a man lead to anarchy in the society while leading the life. So the order of the society may be disrupted and man cannot lead his life happily and peacefully.
In order to control the bad behavior of such people and establish a peaceful society, there should be rules and regulations. The state has emerged to frame and implement these rules through its agency "The Government". So the state controls the political activities of the human being and restore peace in the society. The subject which studies about the state, government, the political activities of a human being is regarded as political science.
Explain the scope of political science.
Aristotle described political science as a 'master science' which made it perhaps the greatest contribution to the making of political science scientific. Hie term "Scope" refers to the subject or the boundaries of a particular branch of knowledge. There is no perfect agreement among the political thinkers as to the problems, which come under the study of political science. Broadly speaking, there are three groups of writers holding different views on the scope of political science.
The first group of writers like Garies, Gamer, Goodnow, and Bluntschli restricted the scope of political science only to the study of the state.
The second group of writers like Prof. Sheley and Dr. Stephen Leacock said that political science deals with government only.
The third group of writers like Gettell, Gilchrist, Paul Janet, and Prof. Laski maintained that the scope of political science extends to both state and government. Prof. Laski maintains that the state, in reality, means the government.
We may agree with the third group of writers that political science is a study of both state and government is the steering wheel of the ship of the state. There can be no state without a government, the state remains the central subject of our study, and the whole mechanism of government revolves around it.
Scope according to the UNESCO; the international Political Science Association at its Paris Conference in 1948 discussed the scope of political science and marked out its subject matter as follows:
1. Political Theory:
Political Theory, History of Political Ideas.
2. Government:
The Constitution, the Government-Regional and Local Government, Public Administration, Economics and Social functions of government, Comparative political institutions.
3. Parties, Groups and Public Opinion:
Political Parties, Group and Associations, Citizen Participation in Government and administration, Public Opinion.
4. International Relations:
International relations, International organization, and Administration, International Law.
Is political science a Science? Explain.
Aristotle called political science as supreme or Master science. Many writers like Thomas Hobbes, Jean Bodin, and Lord Bryce agree that political science is a science.
Reasons for it to be called as a science are:
1. Political Science is a systematic study:
Just like the science subjects which are studied systematically, in the same way. it is possible to make a study of political science. There is a connection between cause and effects.
2. Experiments are possible in Political Science:
Politics is also a systematized knowledge that has been acquired by systematic observation, experiment and study For e.g. framing the Indian constitution and the methods of direct democratic devices adopted in Switzerland.
3. Common principles, conclusions possible:
Political scientists have arrived at broad principles after observing the political phenomenon over a long period of time. Reasons for the rise of new states, the eruption of revolts and revolutions, the emergence of political parties, etc, have been discovered.
4. Relationship between the causes and effects can be known:
In political science with a greater degree of approximation, the relationship between causes and effects can be established.
5. More exact than other social sciences:
Political science has the status of being more exact than other social sciences.
Is Political science is an art? Explain.
1. Absence of Uniform terminology:
The study is called by different terms and there is no unanimity among thinkers regarding the exact term. The subject is called politics, political science, political theory, political philosophy, applied politics, theoretical politics, etc.
2. Differences regarding methods, definition, and scope:
There is no single method of studying the subject but different methods are available. Political principles are not universally accepted and applied. Terms like democracy, socialism, communism, liberalism, and Nationalism have been defined and explained in different ways.
3. Absence of Precision:
Political science lacks precision in the study of state and government or theories like democracy.
4. Experimentation is not possible:
Conducting experiments in political science is difficult since it deals with human beings and their behavior is unpredictable.
5. Absence of Universal Laws:
Political science has certain concepts acceptable with similar meaning but there is no universal truth.
6. Difficult to predict the future:
Political researchers find it difficult to predict the future course of events since political events are subject to ever-changing public opinion.
7. Lack of Objectivity:
The political scientists cannot be objective since he is influenced by race, religious, economic and other considerations.
Explain the origin and development of political science.
According to Aristotle, political activity can be traced to the very nature of man. It is true that no individual can exist or live in isolation. No one is self-sufficient. So, man is a social animal. In the same manner, he is a political animal. Hence society requires an organization to regulate and control human activities. The organization states, which in turn function through its agency, government.

Political science exerts its influence on the life and destiny of human beings. Why political science has become so important in the life of man? It can be judged on the following grounds:
1. Essential for a cultured existence:
The study of Political Science introduces an individual to the requirements of a civilized and cultured society.
2. To understand the evolution of state and government:
Political Science is a study of state and government in all its aspects, in order to understand the roots of state and government such as how and why the state and government came into existence and .why it continues to be in existence and what are the essential factors that make a state, the types and forms of government, the aims and objectives of the government, etc., the knowledge of political science is essential.
3. To provide knowledge of rights and duties:
Every citizen, especially in a democracy desires to have knowledge of rights and duties. It is in political science that one learns all the aspects of these rights and duties.
4. To make Democracy effective:
Democracy today is the most popular system of government. Many factors contribute to the success and effectiveness of democracy. Political science enables one to understand all the principles, merits and defects of democracy.
5. Provides political education:
The study of political science provides political education to a citizen so that he may understand national problems in a new perspective.
6. Provides knowledge of ideologies:
The study of political science provides a vast knowledge of various prevailing ideologies like democracy, socialism, communism, nazism, fascism, etc.
7. Knowledge useful to political leaders and bureaucrats:
Knowledge of political science is very useful to the political leaders to carry on the working of the government effectively. Knowledge of the constitution is necessary for everyone to contribute better to the functioning of the government.
8. To understand political power:
Political Science helps citizens to understand the concept of political power; how governments function; what are the interest and forces behind the policies; who are his elected representatives and what they stand for.
9. To promote human warfare:
Political Science in the contemporary' period lies the fact that it creates conditions for economic progress since it is motivated by an interest in human welfare.
10. To understand international relations and contribute to peace:
International relations is one of the specialized branches of political science dealing with the relationship among sovereign states. It includes many concepts like balance power, collective security alliances, treaties, international law, international organizations, etc.
Is political science a Science or an art? Explain.
Just like the science subjects which are studied systematically, in the same way, it is possible to make a study of political science. There is a connection between cause and effects.
Politics is also a systematized knowledge which has been acquired by systematic observation, experiment and study. For e.g. framing the Indian constitution and the methods of direct democratic devices adopted in Switzerland.
Political science has the status of being more exact than other social sciences. Some writers consider political science as a part of political philosophy. It may be noticed that every political theory owes its origin to some philosophical idea. But however, we need not accept this argument in political science, not only deal with theories and ideas but also with practice.
In political science, there is an attempt to apply theoretical knowledge to the practice of politics. An art to be perfected require intelligence and constant practice by artist. On the basis of the above discussions, it may be concluded that it is an art.
The political scientist cannot be objective since he is influenced by race, religious, economic and other considerations.
Define political science. What is the significance or utility of its study?
The term 'Politics' was used by the great Greek Philosopher Aristotle. It is derived from the term 'Polis' which means 'city' to Greeks city was the state and subject that was dealing with city-state was called politics. So political science means a systematic study of the state and government.
The following are some of the important definitions.
Garner: "Political science begins and ends with the state".
Garies: "Political science deals with government".
Gilchrist: "Political science deals with state and government".
Paul Janet: "Political science is that part of social science which treats the foundations of state and principles of government".
Political science has become the most important branch of social science. Aristotle called it a master science. Democracy has become the most common form of government nowadays. The study of political science trains the people for the successful working of democracy. The study of political science enables the individual to understand his rights and duties and enlightens him to take an active part in the affairs of the state.
It also promotes a sense of responsibility and the spirit of patriotism.
The citizen can understand the nature, merits, and demerits of different types of Government and other administrative institutions in their state by studying political science. Studying political science will enable people to understand different theories and ideologies and help him to decide whether to accept it or reject it.
The study of political science enables to understand international relations and international law. It helps to understand thoroughly the significance of world organizations in solving international problems and in maintaining international people.

Q: Javadoc not available in Eclipse I am using Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110218-0911
I have a problem similar to this stackoverflow question
On reading other questions, I have found that the error

This element has no attached source and the Javadoc could not be found in the attached Javadoc

is caused by Eclipse not being able to locate the javadoc file.
I checked, I have both JDK and JRE in c program files / java location.
I have src.zip file at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_30, I have src lib file at C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/lib/rt.jar
Both these paths are set in classpath variables.
Installed JRE is referring to C:\Program Files\Java\jre6 and javadoc location for all JRE system libraries is set to http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
But still I am not able to see the javadoc on mouse hover of any java or android methods
Do you have any advice on how to get this working?

A:
In Eclipse, go to Window, Preferences, and navigate to the javadoc options or type javadoc where it says 'type filter text'.
Check if the options 'Process Javadoc comments' is checked.
It may ask you to do a full rebuild of your projects after you check/uncheck that option.

A: You seem to be developing an Android App in Eclipse.
When you have the ADT plugins installed you are no longer using the standard Java JDKs, but rather the android versions.
To fix this you'll want to Install "Documentation for Android SDK" package using Android SDK and AVD Manager.
This will place the documentation folder into the android sdk location suitable for eclipse + the ADT plugins to supply you javadoc help popups.

A: Had the same problem with Eclipse Mars (4.5.1). I needed to assign the Source attachment of rt.jar to the src.zip manually:

*

*Navigate to your project's property page: Project > Properties > Java Build Path > JRE System Library > rt.jar > Source attachment.

*Click Edit..., choose External location and put the path to src.zip here.

A: *

*Navigate to that method by Ctrl+Click on the method. The new
tab/window will opened with text "Source not found" and button
"Attach Source" in it.

*Click the button "Attach Source"  New window pops up.

*Click the button "External Folder".

*Click the button "External File"

*If you are on Windows with default installation settings, then the folder path is  C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_151\lib  and then click on rt.zip file and click on "Open".

*Click the button "OK"
Hope this answers your question.


For other uses, see Soldier (disambiguation).
For broader coverage of this topic, see Military personnel.
A soldier is one who fights as part of an army. A soldier can be a conscripted or volunteer enlisted person, a non-commissioned officer, or an officer.
The word soldier derives from the Middle English word soudeour, from Old French soudeer or soudeour, meaning mercenary, from soudee, meaning shilling's worth or wage, from sou or soud, shilling. The word is also related to the Medieval Latin soldarius, meaning soldier (literally, "one having pay"). These words ultimately derive from the Late Latin word solidus, referring to an Ancient Roman coin used in the Byzantine Empire.
In most armies use of the word "soldier" has taken on a more general meaning due to the increasing specialization of military occupations that require different areas of knowledge and skill-sets. As a result, "soldiers" are referred to by names or ranks which reflect an individual's military occupation specialty arm, service, or branch of military employment, their type of unit, or operational employment or technical use such as: trooper, tanker (a member of tank crew), commando, dragoon, infantryman, artilleryman, paratrooper, grenadier, ranger, sniper, engineer, sapper, craftsman, signaller, medic, or a gunner.
In many countries soldiers serving in specific occupations are referred to by terms other than their occupational name. For example, military police personnel in the British Army are known as "red caps" because of the colour of their caps (and berets).
Infantry are sometimes called "grunts" (in the United States Army) or "squaddies" (in the British Army), while U.S. Army artillery crews, or "gunners," are sometimes referred to as "redlegs", from the service branch color for artillery. U.S. soldiers are often called "G.I.s" (short for the term "General Issue").
French Marine Infantry are called marsouins (French: porpoises) because of their amphibious role. Military units in most armies have nicknames of this type, arising either from items of distinctive uniform, some historical connotation or rivalry between branches or regiments.
Some soldiers, such as conscripts or draftees, serve a single limited term. Others choose to serve until retirement; then they receive a pension and other benefits. In the United States, military members can retire after 20 years. In other countries, the term of service is 30 years, hence the term "30-year man".
According to the United Nations, 10-30% of all soldiers worldwide are women.

Yesterday, Aldi started selling a two-lane water slide for £12.99 as part of its special buy range.
But savvy shoppers flocked to get their hands on one and the item is already sold out online.
On the other hand, if you're far too busy to be rushing around for a water slide then we've rounded some slip 'n' slides available at the click of a mouse.

Q: Error when Creating DIscord Bot (javascript) Here's the code. the error is that message is not defined. I am trying to create an argument that is the value for a "coinflip." I'm new to coding with node.js and the discord documentation and this has been puzzling me for a while. I have figured out that the issue has to do something with the coinflip or test command, but commenting them out creates the same problem. Am I missing something?

A: You are putting your message event code inside the ready event block. http://discord.js.org/ has different events that can be listened for. The ready event handles when the script successfully connects to the discord api. So anything that runs there will run from the moment the bot is online.
You need to listen for a different event called message. The message event will get triggered whenever a message is sent whether it's in a Direct Message or Discord Server.
client.on('message', message => {

    // Your code that previously had message undefined goes here

});

Pieces by Polly: I-Spy Swap #7 - Swap FULL.
I-Spy Swap #7 - Swap FULL.
I've been getting a lot of questions about doing another I-Spy Swap, so I thought I'd host another one before things get too crazy with the holidays. Sign-Up are now OPEN NOW FULL. Please read all rules before signing up and see link at the bottom of this post to sign up.
As always I learn a bit each time we do a swap, so there are a few minor changes this time around with how you sign up, so PLEASE read the entire post before signing up...even if you'd participated in one of my swaps before.
Mail 200 I-Spy squares to me by October 3.
Get 200 I-Spy squares back, all different, by October 17.
1. By joining with 1 swap spot you are committing to buying and cutting 1/4 yard of 10 different I-Spy fabrics and mailing them to me within 2-weeks. PLEASE don't sign up if you can't keep this commitment.
2. For each spot you sign up for, you will need to cut 20 4" squares out of each of 10 different novelty print 100% Cotton Quilt fabrics (NO flannel or textured fabric!). A 1/4-yard cut or fat quarter will get you 20 4" squares, so you will be purchasing a total of about 2 1/2 yards of fabric. This is NOTHING when you think about all the different squares you will be getting back! If you sign up for two spots, you'll be put into two different swaps, but your fabrics must be DIFFERENT for each swap spot.
3. In order to avoid duplicates, everyone will need to search out unusual or obscure prints. Look for things that aren't available at chain stores. But, please, pick FUN ones! If you love it, the other swappers will love it too! In the past we have used the Pieces by Polly I-Spy Swap flickr group to share pictures, but I would like to move to using Instagram instead. If you do not have an Instagram account, you can email me your pictures and I will post them for you. Please tag all pictures as hashtag #ispyswap7 and tag me @piecesbypolly so everyone can find your pics and drool over your chocies.
9. If you end up one or two squares short of one of your fabrics, it's okay to trade in another fun fabric to replace them. Just make sure you're not putting in duplicates.
10. PLEASE, PLEASE be sure to sort your squares into 20 stacks that have 1 of each of your 10 fabrics. You can stack them all up together once they're sorted with a piece of scratch paper between them or even just turning them a bit, so it's clear where the new stack starts. It's actually easier for me if you do NOT each little stack in baggies, but it can be helpful to put your whole large stack in a ziploc bag before mailing.
11. Cut your squares well. There really is no substitute for using a rotary cutting mat, ruler, and blade. If you don't have one, find someone you can borrow one from, so that all of your squares will be 4"
12. If an emergency comes up and you're not able to follow-through with your commitment, please let me know ASAP so someone on the waiting list has time to take your place. You will receive a full refund.
13. Once all the spots are full, I'll send you my mailing address for where you send your squares.
PLEASE BE SERIOUS AND BE SURE YOU CAN MEET THE DEADLINES BEFORE signing up. I want to make sure everyone gets their squares back in a timely manner.
To sign up, you'll purchase a spot through my Etsy shop. This is NOT a money maker for me. I'm just charging what it will cost me for postage, envelopes, and Etsy fees, and for most people it will end up being less expensive in the long run for you. (Etsy listing fees get added into the mix, but postage is cheaper via Etsy, so it pretty much breaks even.) I'm charging $1.00 cents to cover the Etsy Listing and money processing fees, plus your postage and the price of your return envelope is included in the cost. The price I have listed covers First Class Shipping in a padded envelope for a single swap spot (total of $5.50) and Priority Shipping in a Flat Rate Padded envelope for a double spot (total of $7.25). Since I get postage cheaper purchasing it online, overall this will cost you about the same and printing the shipping labels will be less of a headache for me (I hope!). International swappers are also welcome, although you will need to get your fabrics in the mail as soon as possible so they will get here in time. International postage varies...and unfortunately is pretty expensive since USPS raised international rates dramatically earlier this year.
To sign-up, please go to my Etsy Shop here to purchase your spot and sign-up.


I was stunned when my neighbours told me they didn't know we could make a pizza at home. So, if you're one of those who don't know that we could make a pizza at home, here's my recipe of a fully loaded pizza.
Make Pizza Sauce and keep aside.
Chop onions, capsicum, tomatoes, and mushrooms finely.
In a vessel, add butter, followed by the above chopped vegetables.
Add salt, red chilli powder, and pav bhaji masala.
Once the toppings are fried, add the finely chopped paneer cubes.
Take a pizza base and apply butter on both the sides.
Spread pizza sauce on one side.
On a pan, keep the prepared base, and cover the pizza using a bowl or a dish that has broad edges.
After a minute or two, remove the lid and check for the base. Once you see the base roasted, turn off the gas and hog on that delicious piece of pizza!
