Gray Wool in January

I love the peace and quiet of January. Whether the sky is brilliant blue or deep gray, I find the contrast with bare trees and neutral colors restful. Simple meals of soup, fruit, and bread warm my body while quiet evenings indoors with a book, journal, or knitting restore my spirit. Early mornings and evenings, I wrap a shawl around my shoulders. These days, I'm enjoying my latest finished object, a Gray Wool Shawl.

In 2005, I began writing a story about my great grandmother and a gray wool shawl she made by unraveling yarn in an old sweater.  In 2009, while helping my Dad to the end of his life, I began the first gray wool shawl. I cast on stitches while I was at a Windbreak House Writing Retreat.  As I watched daylight fade from the short grass prairie, I taught myself to purl stitches using the continental method. Although, I loved the gray shade of the worsted weight wool/alpaca yarn, I decided the checkerboard pattern stitch was not something my practical great grandmother would have chosen.  When I returned home, I ripped out the stitches and cast on a garter stitch shawl.  After knitting on the piece for quite some time,  I admitted to myself the fabric was stiff enough to be a horse blanket. Once again, I ripped out the shawl. Eventually I knit a lovely warm sweater from the yarn.

Next I tried knitting a shawl from a lighter weight deep charcoal gray yarn and a beautiful Mountain Colors Yarn of deep variegated colors. The weight of the charcoal yarn was suitable but the combination of  the yarns created a triangular shawl that rippled in an unattractive way. Both of these yarns eventually became mittens given as Christmas gifts.

In July 2011, I bought some soft gray Frog Tree alpaca yarn spun into sport weight and cast on the Wool Peddlers Shawl. I adapted the pattern in several ways. I began with a garter stitch tab because it creates a more finished look. For the same reason, I changed the increases along the center spine of the shawl.  I also added one stitch to each edge because I think two stitches look better and are less prone to snagging. I finished the shawl on November 30, 2011.

In between all this knitting, I revised the Gray Wool Shawl Story several times. I'm still not certain the latest version accurately reflects my great grandmother's time and place so I'm about to work on the story again.  Like knitting, writing benefits from revision and new beginnings. Perhaps the quiet space in January will be conducive to a better story. Happy New Year!

February 14th, the day when cupids are flying all over the ears, the heart skips beating with the sight of the every other person of opposite sex. The heart calls to ask is she the one for me. Is she the one who will be mine…. and suddenly you turn around and you realise she is not the one for you. The one who just came down walking down is the one for you and the story continues. Heart breaks and rose takes are things you can see round the corner. The amazing fun behind the story is that suddenly everyone on this earth starts falling in love. I have heard that when one falls in love there is a tickle which is all over your heart and mind. Suddenly every person in this world on a fix date start feeling that tickle. Just another Feb 4teen (Analogus to Y2K) problem. The day is good, nice weaher and sudenly the colors start changing. Roses being transffered and feeling being conveyed. Messages and emotons flowing across hearts like the money flows from government’s pockets to fiscal deficits. All the more what makes things confusing is that whether the rosses end up in the heart or be the ground art the day ends over a wine and tarts (though reasons differ from bliss and kisses to ditches). All this exercise whole day finally comes to end when the day is called of.
The next morning …. it’s a brand new day (though some hangover is still there) and yesterday was just another day.

The movie is a bit different from the league movie. Not the typical happy ending types and to me the most important thing it raises up the same question that lingers in my mind, “Why is the system, the way it is? Why the system is compromising on the standards of the country?” the point which is put across in the movie and it also haunts me sometime where is it going to end. The way innocent guys of college like us, who are just having fun in their life go out to kill a politician. The strange thing is that which movie high lights is that our generation next has adopted a lot of western ways, there are many pubs and lounge, more one night stands, more girls out in less of clothes…… But still there is the feeling of belongingness in them for the country. They say that they don’t care about the country and want to go abroad to ettle there and many of them really do but most of them do come back when the country really calls them. The way the country is going has to change. The present students are the people who will make the country and run it tomorrow. And what the system is offering them- the lessons to bribe the local police officer and run your bikes without proper papers. The important issue is why the system is compromising on the standard of the young generations. We have been talking about the corporate big words the six sigma implementation. Are the processes in the institutes which are converting our youths to the talent pool in place. Are their proper hecks and balances in place that every child in india who goes through an education in India will get a minimum level of qualty education. The corruption is existant in every country in the world but the form and effect of corruption is very important. The corruption should not meddle with the basic infrastructure and amneties. The movie shows how an army officer crashes down in a mig and the minister blames him as a careless officer. The point is if a mig crashes of bad plane condition then also its the fault of the government processes which comes into making of the deals for the migs and their spare parts, and even if the pilot was not competent enough (which was not in the case of the movie) then also the processes of the government which were responsible for the selection and pilots accesibility of migs were defective and in both cases the govt is responsible.

The corruption is not only in the form where the bribes are taken and money is siphoned of from the taxes. The more dangerous form of teh corruption is when even after taking out money the work done is sub standard. No one bribes people to be lax at work but still train accidents keep on happening because the processes are not in place.

Overall the movie was very good and an eye opener kind. Which tells the extremities the corruption could lead and it also showed a possible dreadful end the way our system is going.
Thats all for now… till next post Adieu!!!

It’s not always you feel something like this, a new experience, six people first time an unexplored city and one whole night. It’s not always you have days like this in your life. Destiny is something which changes almost everythig. Sometimes an impulse change your outlook. There is so much unpredictable about life. Somethings you never expect and they happen, and other times you don’t even think about a thing and they change all the equations of your life. As Richard Bach has said life is nothing but the choices you make, every choice you make changes your life by a great extent. Sitting on a small corner amidst smoke of burning cigarettes a voice cracks an idea and whole life changes for all the listeners and the speakers. The people who wouldn’t have known each other more than their names, would know each other to an extent that they would never forget each other and the night. “Lets have some fun” a line as simple like that can have so much change in the lives of people is really unimaginable. Life is strange and it really is…The clock was ticking to Celine Deon’s tunes singing a new day but the fun for the people had not yet begin, the joy of speed was coming over them and the some lives were about to change. The half crescent moon shining the way for them being their better half for the journey on the day of life. The silence of the night was constantly being challenged by the roaring of the engines, and the flowing adrenaline. The first halt was rather unexpected when the one of the roaring spirits needed some more spirit to fuel the journey ahead.
One thing which I generally like about the stones in my way is that when I cross them they become my milestones. The first milestone was formed over the barriers of silence over some hot steaming brew, and the darkness about other ceding over the temptation of exploring life. The aroma of the place went across the minds and thoughts of the people, laughing heart out over a spilled coffee. The life takes jinx when the old meets the new and the next stop arised unimaginable. The little riding experience over the dead man’s lane, the first time of the pushes with the heels, the slow and noisy turning of the wheels of fortune, making new friends. The little laugh and scolding for the missing blinking lights, everything to be known and exploring still more to know. Sometimes standing beside the closed gate can be the key to wide open gates of heart. The chemistry amidst started in the cafe and was running express with the darkness being fought by little twinkling lights and the sudden flash like lightning making the memories for the lifetime. The smoke flowing over and above burning coal and the sweet smell of the peach fruit made the whole area an enlightened stage to host stories of life. With some stories being hosted the other stories were made. The presence of each other was never lively before ever and every minute was a new choice wrting the new chapters in life. The still in the spirits were not tolerable to the destiny when the ride back to discover the new arenas was falling into place. The little games of life are amazing, the all different piece were being fitted all into the place. The little mouths speaking the truth and the lies, whatever the mouth did spoke but the luck was in for a Bingo. Strange questions of life are never understood but some times the stranger answers for thequestions are. The night had everything in store for them conmfort, fun, frolic, a small party and an experience of a life time. The night which felt like an unending past through in all this frenzy ended so quickly that all the twist and turns in the life were felt like they flew past by. The night had ended and the rays of dawn were lighting the whole world. There was a moment when everyone turning back to different worlds in their hearts and minds knowing for sure the night would come back……….. The fun would start again and cross over to set new milestones. Strangers were now friends. Adieu!!!!!!

Sudden Realizations

This is one of the most costly blog entry I have ever made. Why? I am sitting in a class and as usual the professor sucks and now when I did some homework that what is it costing me to be here and listen to all this worthless nonsense is a fortune. It pains and trust me, it pains really hard. You know sometimes I wonder when I feel like this what the people who were working in really goood organizations and left their jobs, pay, office everything in hope to come here that they will get some decent value with a lot of business sense. You know why I feel MBA SUCKS is because this is what I am paying for my MBA-

Annual Fees in SIBM Rs90,000.00

Cost of laptop on account of 60% depreciation Rs30,000.00

Annual Salary which I would have got at TCS Rs206,000.00
(Micro Eco told me this is Opportunity Cost)

Interest @ Rate of 5% compunded 6 monthly) Rs16,503.75

Total Annual Cost I am paying to study at SIBM Rs342,503.75

Monthly cost of MBA Rs28,541.98

No. of Pd’s in a month (Ideal Case) 144

Cost per Hour of every lecture at SIBM Rs198.21

So I am writing this blog for Rs. 198.21/hr andd trust me I would have really appreciated that I would have soemthing of business sense out of this money but whatever is going in this class I find writing this blog far more value adding as compared to listening to the class. To add to pain one of my very good friends sitting just at my back finds his interest in reading what I am writing instead of the class and for him this costs increases to Rs. 346.56 / lecture as he left a job after working for two years. I GUESS THE HONEYMOON IS OVER. And everyone is waiting for the MBA to get over and rock in the real corporate world to prove their mettle. Adieu!!!

The Cleaning Day

Sometimes the most weird of the work can be a fun. The idea of cleaning the whole college by the MBA students on the first instance sounded like crazy. We had been hearing a lot about cleaning of the college, which is a tradition, before the Campus Placement start the juniors volunteer to wash clean the whole college. The day is referred as the cleaning day or rather cleaning night. The night started on 10th of December where we turned up in large numbers to clean the college. The things in the night started when me, Reena, Sumeet and Mayur were having dinner and making plans for sipping up coffee at Barista, when Shlokie called and said we were about to begin and he wanted us for support. We dropped the idea of the coffee and went back to the college. The college and all the classes where we get bored everyday by idiotic lectures presentation were all open and empty, free to face the stampede of the rocking spirits of SIBM. All the floors were plugged in with different music and the fiesta started. The floors were divided the fun was about to begin. The IT team got the lab with some more volunteers. The things started rocking when Karthik banged inside the ladies LOO ( for cleaning ofcourse) and till now he is still wondering what the shelves are for?????? We started cleaning the lab and having fun where we had a colin fight where we sprayed colin all over the hairs of people, though I still wonder that whether the colin is effective or not despite me n sumeet sprayed a lot of colin on Reena’s hair she is still blonde (Refer- All Blondes are dumb or all dumbs are blonde http://panduspeaks.blogspot.com). Then as the cleaning spree went ahead we started having water fights and the I also had broom-fight with Reena. We overtook JK Rowling (with due regards to her) when we changed the concept of quidditch on broomsticks to Mops (courtsey Prasun & Vaidi). Then final bite from stuffs at Barista. There were a lot of things which could be understood by the following photographs.

The Barista Bite

Guess What REENs trying to play perfect Marrige Material

Naina Joins the League but dear having the broomstick doesn’t mean that you will assault the photographer

After the Final Touch

Peace at last, dont worry floor is broomed MOP and ABOVE ALL I AM TIRED

Well more fun of this in the Next Post, till the Adieu!!!

Summers in December

My summers have finally arrived in the starting of winters. Yes, I finally got an offer for my summer placements from Tata Teleservices. Today was a rocking start as our IT team had to cover 5 presentations for the day. My day started with a usual run between our IT LAB which is on the fourth floor to our auditorium which is on ground floor but we have to climb down to the basement for the entrance. So amongst all this chaos of mics audio cables and LCD’s I attended a sleep inducing ppt trying to be awake. Soon after the ppt I was told that I was shortlisted for NDTV process and I rushed through the lab and the room no. 13 to check the details. My pulse was rocking and I sat with Vikram and Vishay discussing questions like what are my strengths and weakness and why I want to leave IT and join media (though we framed a decent answer but still I can’t think of a valid reason that why on earth would anyone like to leave an IT company to join a TV channel) and then after this brief session of introspection I hobbled up to the lab (don’t ask me that how I manage to keep my fat when I climb so Many stairs, you can do your PhD on that) and struggled with the computer to get all relevant data about their Mcap, CAGR, Market Share, Competition, Industry Analysis etc. I came down mugging all these figures. At that time perhaps I knew the figures like they were the only thing that would be asked by them. There to my surprise on the board was my name making a proud announcement that I have “cracked Summers” with Tata Teleservices!!!!
Wow life rocks, things changed I went like an Idiot all over the college telling people as if I got a jackpot. Finally I reached the second ppt and then after all that I kept my promise and I brought cake for my IT team , I was so clever that I brought chocolate as I like more than Black forest and as a perfect team does they made it a point that all that cake should be as close to my mouth and my hairs and the ordeal continued until there wasn’t a place left to smear the cake. after then we had a lot of chit chat. Well the day was a rocking one. I hope what tomorrow has in store for me. Till then Sayonara!!!

Two Days@ SIBM

A brand new day, though another manic Monday but also the start of another brand new semester, with brand new class (for me at least), and brand new classmates. You must be wondering why I am using the word brand so much, that’s because we have been divided into three section according to our specialization so was trying to put some marketing in the daily life ;). The first day was good with our slooow stats professor, but the luck was on our side and we had an action packed class with pigeons flying around, driving some of our batchmates for an out-class run. The day was unusually short with two lectures after the lunch being cancelled and I had a nice time relaxing and catching up with friends and the stories about their holidays. The things are coming back to normal why??? I got to configure wi-fi on one of the laptops….but mind you WI-FI IS WORKING. I know I am a bit sentimental about it can’t help it have spent lot of cribbing about this faulty!!!! I mean flaunty (that’s what we do in all of presentations and website write ups- flaunt our wi-fi) little system.
The second day was even better, imagine a situation where you are on the operation table and a doctor stands with a huge knife in his hands and tells you that you can’t be provided with anesthesia as it’s not available in the hospital and since hospital has already taken the operation fee so you are going to have an operation right now without an anesthesia and you can shove all your pain wherever you want to… It was a similar situation when our prof for management control system entered our class and told us that he finds the idea of us doing the subject funny as we haven’t done the pre-requisite subject before. To add more to the taste he tells us that we will complete the pre-requisite all by ourselves as the mcs thing is already in our syllabus. Quite a genuine reasons… god help us. So SIBM is rocking back and tomorrow the whole of our marketing class is waiting with their fingers crossed for Wednesday morning 10:30 a.m. for the macroeconomics class by Nikhil’s (for those who don’t know him visit http://nikmuse.blogspot.com/) favourite and loving Harinita Ma’am. Adieu!!!

The Tipping Point: How Little Things can make a big difference

I completed tipping point yesterday night and I must say it is a fascinating experience to read this book. It talks about the epidemics, in general the mechanism by which a normal situation turn into epidemic. It talks about how very small things add together creating such a huge difference. Malcom Gladwell describes tipping point as the magical moment when an idea, trend or social behaviour crosses a threshold, tips and spreads like an epidemic. He says that there are three important laws which make an idea tip. The first one he calls as the law of few, in which he describes how important are the people who are part to spread the idea. He says that for an idea to spread it should be passed through some special kind of person in the society called connectors, mavens and salesman. These are the people with wide and influencing social contact. These are either people with large sphere of acquaintances and friends, those who are respected for their and the general people prefer following their opinions. The second law he calls as stickiness factor. The stickiness is the concept that if an idea is heard by a person then he or she should be able to remember it.. He talks about some TV show designed for kids called sesame street which tipped because its content stuck to the kids. Then finally he acknowledges the power of context where he says that the situation of the passing of the idea is also very important. He talks about the normal human attitude of attributing the characteristics as a whole without considering the situations. For ex we say a person X is honest, we mean that he is honest with friends, family etc. It’s not necessary that he will be honest at work too. Then he talks about the group dynamics and the magical number 150. He talks about the fact that in any group if there are more that 150 people then they all won’t be knowing each other individually. That’s the capacity limit of the human brain, and he explains how this is being used in business for competitive advantage. Then finally with the help of two case studies he concludes that for an idea to tip and to become an epidemic it’s required that all the small things discussed are the ones which make a major impact.
Overall the book was a very good read. Though it became a bit boring and monotonous at some instances but things were well explained. There were a few problems specially for an Indian like me to relate to the concepts which were duly explained with the help of the US TV show which is difficult to relate to any example in India. But the essence was clear. The cruise through the 259 pages of the book was really a very enriching experience. Adieu.

The Journey to Find Myself: Engg College to B-School

It was few months back when I sat on the terrace of Panchvati (for those who don’t know it was my hostel in engg college) and was tellling my juniors that it’s so good to see the stars and the open sky. Since then life has been such a roller coaster ride, IMI vs. SIBM the tough decision, then such an uncooperative faculty in the college who think that students are the people with most free time. You know they feel that we are the bugs who can be crushed because they hold some thing which are called our internal marks in the hand. They don’t realise that we students are human being and due to their inefficiencies we are the people who suffer most. Anyways the crux of the matter is that my joining in the SIBM was delayed due to my faculty back at my engineering college. So I had this great I mean late start but finally I am here. With first semester over I am now a would be manager, the guy who would sit in those plush offices in those armanis and versaches, driving luxury sedans, sitting in the big board meetings. This is what most people assume MBA is all about including me some years back. Well all my high flying dreams meet the reality. All the things seem more like our real world. Now that one semester is over everyone back at my place wants to know what I have learned in these four months. The answer to this question is one word called FAF, the art of speaking or writing when you nothing about what you are talking about. Well I will talk about this art in some of my next post and how I have learnt it? How I am planning to master it? All these answers coming soon till then, Adieu!

365 Days of Album Recommendations – July 15

Sonny Rollins – Saxophone Colossus

I’ve heard it said that Sonny Rollins is the greatest all-around soloist in the history of jazz, and it can be hard to argue against this assessment.

As an arch conceptualist with a broad conception of melodic possibility and an endless store of imagination and ideas, Sonny Rollins has historically been one of very few jazz players who can escort a listener along album-length improvisations without ever once repeating himself, unless it was intentional, and for effect.

While Coltrane did it with just a sheer, desperate, searching desire to reach something just beyond where he’d just been, Rollins does it with a sort of mathematical sense of play; he’s not a “math” player by ANY stretch of the imagination, but the rigor of his playfulness, the logic of his lilt, and the architecture of even his most out improvisations, are consistently and unfailingly works of geometric precision.

It’s all here on this release; an album many consider his masterpiece. He is at turns mysterious, playful, funky, angular, and swinging, and his enormous tone invites you into a sonic world totally owned by no one but Sonny Rollins.

365 Days of Album Recommendations – July 26

Seán Tyrrell – The Orchard

Our international travels continue tonight as we go from Cape Verde to Mali, and now, to the beautiful wild west of Ireland.

Here, in the mysterious lunar ghostscape of The Burren, where limestone hills run down to green fields that touch a spare and growling Atlantic on their far side, you’ll find the extraordinary Irish balladeer Seán Tyrrell.

If it can be said that Dolores Keane contains within her voice the whole of Ireland—and it can indeed be said—then the weary, rough, and heartbreaking voice of Seán Tyrrell gets my vote for the male counterpart, for in his bristling narrative husk, one hears the entire tale of wild Ireland’s country heart.

My missus and I used to see Seán sing in a tiny pub in a little fishing village along the coast road that runs from Galway to The Cliffs of Moher. He’d sit in the corner with a couple mates and play instrumentals for the most part, and people would drink and talk as they do in a pub.

And then he’d start to sing.

He’d start to sing, and the pub would go dead silent. Dead silent, until the last drifting and dying note would fall from his tongue and disappear into the peat smoke.

The Orchard is Seán’s second album, and it’s still the one I return to most frequently. There is simply so much knowledge here. And this is for me the ultimate quality that truly magical folk music must have … there must be at its core that remarkable knowledge that only the true songwriters of the people have within them. It’s not book knowledge, it’s often not even experiential.

Woody Guthrie had it, of course, but he earned it through his travels. Mississippi John Hurt had it too, yet he never traveled outside of a very small circle of miles for virtually his entire life, save for one exception in 1928, and then the final years when he found success with a younger generation who could sense in him the knowledge he possessed. But his knowledge was innate. It simply was.

Seán Tyrrell possesses a bit of both—the earned, and the innate. His is a queerly ageless knowledge—when he sings, the earth opens and invites you into its geologic record. His songs are the sound of The Burren’s strange secrets, and they speak to me still from thousands of miles, and far too many years, away.

Today is my 8th wedding anniversary, so I was inspired to look for recent wedding-related projects for this week’s eye candy.

First up, I have some gorgeous wedding gifts – some from the bride and some to the couple. Clockwise from top: SingleCrochetKnit’s His Wedding Socks, Curt’s Polka Dot Towels, and kagh’s silver wedding hankie.

Next are some delightful decorations – a creative way to bring some of yourself into your ceremony. brittney07’s Wedding Doilies and amphi’s ring pillow lace.

Finally, of course I had to feature some projects brides made themselves for their big day. smonja’s Bride’s Shoulder Shrug – Capa de noiva (she made those mitts, too! – note actually she made these for a friend!), the crimsonrabbit’s Love in a Bedale Mist, and lievemarrianne’s My wedding (anniversary) dress.

Congrats to all the couples who had projects from their weddings featured today – I hope their marriages are as beautiful as these crafts.

A Light in the Gloom: chapter 9

“Reality seen through a prism”

Chapter IX

Disguise it not—ye blush for what ye hate,
And Enmity is sister unto Shame;
Look on your mind–it is the book of fate—
Ah! it is dark with many a blazoned name
Of misery—all are mirrors of the same;
But the dark fiend who with his iron pen
Dipped in scorn’s fiery poison, makes his fame
Enduring there, would o’er the heads of men
Pass harmless, if they scorned to make their hearts his den.

Yes, it is Hate, that shapeless fiendly thing
Of many names, all evil, some divine,
Whom self-contempt arms with a mortal sting;
Which, when the heart its snaky folds entwine
Is wasted quite, and when it doth repine
To gorge such bitter prey, on all beside
It turns with ninefold rage, as with its twine
When Amphisbaena some fair bird has tied,
Soon o’er the putrid mass he threats on every side.

Whilst the Convention, formed of these discordant elements, was gradually dividing itself into separate parties, each bitterly hating and daily accusing each other, Democracy was successfully repulsing the Prussians, and the activity and energy of the French people was inspiring the lovers of liberty throughout Europe with the hope, at first so feeble, that France, victorious over her own tyrants, would prove equally so against the combined forces of the European despots. Already had the enemy been repulsed from Champagne, Flanders, &c., and their own territory in Nice, Savoy, and the Palatine invaded, but these successes tended only to widen the breach of parties in the Convention. Danger and defeat could alone have had the power to reconcile them even for a time. Marat, on account of the boldness of his attacks upon the Girondists, was become the especial object of their enmity. The finances were in an embarrassed state. Paris was very ill-supplied with the necessaries of life, and the populace, supported by Marat, accused the Girondists of increasing this scarcity. Scarcely a week had passed from the assembling of the Convention before Robespierre was accused of wishing to make himself a dictator. Danton boldly defended him from the charge, and Marat acknowledged that it was him alone who was responsible for the idea, and that it was the only means by which France could be saved from the machinations of the court party and the treason of false patriots. Better, he asserted, was it that a few hundred traitors should perish than that hundreds of thousands of French citizens should fall by the hands of their opponents; it was only be the people themselves becoming dictators that Royalty had been abolished, and France saved from the horror of the myrmidons of Brunswick. “I have been accused,” said he, “of being ambitious. If I merely consented to be silent I might have been rolling in wealth, and yet I am poor! Pursued without ceasing from cellars to dungeons, half my life has been past in concealment, yet with my head upon the block I have preached truth; and had the traitors I have denounced met with the fate they deserved, we should not now have had to weep for the death of hundreds of thousands of citizens who have perished through their treachery.” This strange man, with his bold reasoning and his scientific calculations of the relative value of human life, was listened to in terrific silence, few members of the Mountain daring to applaud. Emboldened by this ominous silence, Vermond, the most eloquent of the Girondists, endeavoured to arouse the indignation of the Assembly. “He regretted that he had to reply to a man who laboured under the weight of decrees, and whose whole being distilled nothing but calumnies, gall, and blood.” Scarcely had he finished ere his partizans commenced threatening the life of Marat, some shouting, “To the Abbaye!” some “To the guillotine!” Marat only replied to these threats by a smile. Boilean demanded a decree of accusation against him amid the plaudits of the Assembly. Marat coolly demanded to be hears in reply, and gloried in the decrees passed against him, which he asserted he was absolved from by the Republicans of Paris having since elected him as their representative. Fresh accusations were made, volumes of contempt were poured upon him, but he bore it unflinchingly. Danton and Robespierre defended him, but were attacked in return. At length the Convention passed to the order of the day, thus getting rid of the accusation. A decree was then drawn up against the instigators to murder and pillage; also for forming a guard from the various departments for the protection of the Convention. The Mountain strongly opposed this last decree, well knowing the uses to which this body-guard would be put, but they were comparatively weak in the Convention, and a committee, composed chiefly of Girondists, were appointed for various objects, and the following persons were appointed to draw up the project of the constitution: Seiyes, Condorcet, Thomas Paine, Gensonne, Vergniaud, Barrere, Petion, Brissot, and Danton. This shows how powerful the Girondists were at this time in the Convention; for on this important committee the only representative of the Mountain was Danton. Robespierre, though his cast of character would seem especially to have pointed him out as a member, was indignantly rejected. Nevertheless, the Mountain, though deficient in numbers, abounded in energy; and in revolutionary times the men of energy are sure ultimately to become the dominant party. The charge of wanting to create a dictatorship was met by the Mountain with the counter accusation that the Gironde wanted to create a federal government, to sacrifice Paris to the enemy, and create a Republic in the south. In Paris, where the Mountain party were completely in the ascendant, this charge told with fearful weight against their opponents, who had on many occasions laid themselves open to the accusation. The first heavy blow which the Girondist party received was the triumphant reply of Robespierre to the charge with which he had been assailed by Louvet, Barbaroux, and others. His vindication was a masterpiece of logical eloquence, and carried away with its every torrent his opponents equally with his supporters, and from that time his influence gradually increased, and the neutral mass of the Assembly was oftener to be found voting with him than with any other party. Amid these conflicting passions the Gironde party in the Assembly were the first to broach the trial of the dethroned monarch. When, however, this was done, it was done mainly with the view of increasing their popularity; for the subject had often been warmly discussed at the Jacobins, and all the mischiefs which befel the people were ascribed to the intrigues of the royal party, and to the sanction given them by the king’s name. These quarrels of the contending parties, though apparently so disastrous to the cause of liberty, were an incentive to it. Then for the first time in the history of ages did the party of the people, the veritable multitude, enter in to deadly conflict with the Bourgeoisie, heated with triumph at its own ascendancy, and rejoicing in its wordy eloquence; then first did the men of plain ideas and mechanical precision stand forth in the dignity of manhood before those who for ages had scarcely condescended to acknowledge their political existence. Under such circumstances a conflict was unavoidable—an explosion inevitable. Privilege and principle, expediency and justice, cannot dwell together in the same camp. Sooner or later a separation is merely the prelude to warfare. These facts relative to the past must be a guide to you, my children, for the future. Already do we perceive amongst us the same elements of warfare which then devastated France, and which in times still more remote shook Rome to her centre, and replaced the colossal tribunes of the past by the glittering dwarfs of the Court of Augustus, cheating the people out of even the shadow of liberty, replacing the pure ore by the glittering tinsel, the shadowy past by the lacquered future, thus paving the way for the final extinction of the Roman Empire. How this same struggle will end in England who shall presume to say? The result of a struggle between a despot and a people needs no prophetic aid to decipher; but when we have an aristocracy kept ambitious and enterprising by its continuous struggle with a rising middle class, and each of them kept continually on the alert by the great democratic mass continually around and about them—a middle-class which is fast forgetting those ancient feelings of respect for the aristocracy which at one time rendered it liable at any crisis to bow to its authority and forget its own separate interest—a democracy throwing off every tie which anciently bound it to the other classes, and recognising nought but a common brotherhood, dreading the power of the middle-class more than that of the upper class, and yet by a strange inconsistency ever ready to increase the power of the manufacturer at the expense of that of the landholder—who with such conflicting elements can positively predict the next result? Taking France for our guide, we might naturally expect that the titled lordling will be crushed beneath the power of his younger rival; but we have so many elements in Britain mingled in the conflict, which did not exist in France, that even this guide fails us. Our aristocracy, though less warlike, is more shrewd and pliable, and stands not in the same position of isolation. Our middle-class is more wealthy and more closely connected with the junior portions of the nobility. Above all, there is a strong disposition on a part of a portion of the aristocracy to throw themselves into the arms of the People rather than allow themselves to be vanquished by their opponents; but let the result be what it will, and let the struggle come when it may, its most deadly and dangerous phase will be when aristocracy is quiescent, and capital and labour enter the arena of conflict. Compared to that all other conflicts will have been mere skirmishes heralding in the giant catastrophe. If Labour shall be successful, a new heaven and a new earth will have been created; if defeated, the dial-hand of Progress will have been arrested for centuries, and the sun of humanity will be veiled in darkness and bloodshed.

S’mores Brownies

My next house WILL have a gas range. Mark my word!

Not only are gas stoves easier to control temperatures on, they’re way easier to clean. For anyone else with a glass top range – I feel your pain. I can’t use it without completely ruining its cleanliness. So, I just don’t clean it until we have guests. I mean…umm…I clean it ALL…THE…TIME! I love cleaning!

What I love is s’mores. My mom taught me a lot of important things, including how to make s’mores in a pinch.

No camp fire? Toast those ‘mallows on the stove!

Too lazy to put a ‘mallow on a skewer? Microwave that baby!

But I may have found the best rendition of s’mores. S’mores BROWNIES.

Mom, I’m sure your heart is racing in excitement. It should be. Just don’t pass out, okay? Breathe.

When I was assigned Delicious Meliscious’ blog for a Blogger’s Choice recipe swap, I would like to say I had trouble choosing. But I didn’t. These were an easy choice and a killer choice to boot.

However, Melissa’s blog is one I will be returning to…a lot. I was so pleasantly surprised to find that every recipe (literally) appealed to me. It’s rare to find blogs that you share such similar tastes with…but hers is one for sure. Besides, Melissa lives in Ohio so we have that in common, too!

What I also loved about this recipe was how simple it was to prepare. These were ready in 30 minutes flat. Perfect for those nights when your kiddo comes home with a last minute request for school or you remember at the last minute that your coworker’s birthday is the very next day.

I kept things simple with a boxed brownie mix (if it’s good enough for Giada, it’s good enough for me!), but you can make your favorite brownie and finish it off with the marshmallows, graham cracker, and chocolate squares.

Just beware, these are HIGHLY addictive. Even my s’mores indifferent coworkers and hubby said so!

S’mores Brownies from Delicious Meliscious, originally from Betty Crocker

1 pack brownie mix (Betty Crocker,  Duncan Hines, etc. – my selection had 18 servings, 140 calories each)
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup water
1 large egg
2 cups miniature marshmallows
4 graham crackers, cut into chunks
2 Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars, cut into each segments

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray 9×9-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Prepare the brownie mix according to the directions on the box (or use your favorite homemade recipe) using the oil, egg, and water.

After baking, remove the pan from the oven and set the oven to broil at 500-550 F.

Cool brownies for about a minute then sprinkle the marshmallows over the warm brownies. Make sure to cover most of the area. Sprinkle the graham crackers on top of the marshmallows. Broil about 4-5 inches from the heat for 30 seconds to a minute until the marshmallows are golden brown. Watch carefully so that they don’t burn. Sprinkle with Hershey’s milk chocolate bars.

Yield: 16 brownies.

Nutrition Information (per brownie): 264 calories; 10.4 g. fat; 30 mg. cholesterol; 190 mg. sodium; 39.9 g. carbohydrate; 0.12 g. fiber; 3.3 g. protein

Result: Simple but epic! These are a great way to enjoy s’mores year-round and in a new and unique way. These are sure to please any age group…and pocket book! Enjoy!

Did anyone else watch Idol last night? I’m sad to see Skylar go…but I did love Coldplay’s performances! I skipped out on my workout yesterday – Mr. Prevention and I were both exhausted for no real reason. I listened to my body and kept it a relaxing evening. Today, it’s off to the clinic and squeezing in a workout before the in-laws arrive. Mr. P is running a half marathon tomorrow and his whole fan club will be in attendance!

TGIF, everyone…have a super weekend!

Be well,

Share With Your Friends!

    Yep, EPIC is right!! You just combined two of my favorite foods 🙂 And for a mere 264 calories?1 HA! You know wha tI Would do with these? Bread them up into ice cream!! Oh man…doesn’t that sound good?! I could eat five of these. Right now.
    I’ve had SUCH a bad sweet tooth lately!!
    Are you here on June 3rd? You should come see TOp Chef Paul with us!

      I should be, yep! And done with teaching 🙂 Do you need tickets to get in?

  2. May 4, 2012 / 7:09 am

    Yesh, these look just amazing!!! These bars are a good reason to always keep a box mix on hand…great for a last minute dessert (or craving!)

  3. May 4, 2012 / 7:21 am

    Wowza! These brownies look amazing!
    When I was a little girl I was even more addicted to marshmallows than I am now and I would always ask my parents to let me roast marshmallows over the stove. When they wouldn’t let me do that I’d take a marshmallow, cover it in peanut butter, and sprinkle with sprinkles and eat that. SO good!

  4. May 4, 2012 / 8:17 am

    I’ll trade you my gas range for a pan of these brownies, lol! They look amazing! 🙂

  5. May 4, 2012 / 8:18 am

    I’ve totally become a s’mores FIEND lately and am looking for every and any way to get my fix. This is next. SWOON.

    I have a WHITE stove. WHITE. Whoever thought that was a good idea, is a moron. And I totally clean it daily. (and by daily I mean…once in a blue moon.)

  6. May 4, 2012 / 8:38 am

    Glad you enjoyed them as much as we did! Love your photos!

  7. May 4, 2012 / 9:32 am

    Yup….I’d bring the insulin to enjoy one these beauties! I recently went from the old coil style electric cooktop to the glass top and for the life of me, I don’t understand WHY it became more popular…it is a bitch to clean and pretty much even boiling water makes it dirty. Although, I did find a great way to keep it shiny ( because of all the things I don’t like about it, the streakiness is the worst!) I keep a spray bottle of plain water and use one of those microfiber clothes that you clean glass with with just water..not sure if it even has a name…but it’s soft and not fluffy towel like…it cleans the surface shiny and streak free…then I clean it like once a week with the scrub to get off baked in stuff…but ya, the coils were sooo much easier to clean.

    I am like you…I totally am going for a gas range next time around….maybe a wolf! lol ( ok…now I’m dreaming)

    • Nicole, RD
      May 5, 2012 / 6:53 am

    These look delicious! I want!! Thank you for sharing!

  9. My god, these do look epic! Beautiful…I’m sure they are addicting! Definitely have memories of stove-toasted marshmallows, although campfire ones are my favorite.

  10. May 4, 2012 / 11:45 am

    Oh. My. Gosh.
    I hate to say that I didn’t even have breakfast, but if I had these in my reach THIS would surely be my breakfast. 😉
    I can’t wait to make these!! I love s’mores!

    • March 7, 2015 / 11:19 pm

      I won’t lie . I did have these for breakfest .

  11. May 4, 2012 / 11:53 am

    I love a flat-top electric stove. I used to have a gas stove at my old apartment and I actually found it harder to clean because you have to take off all the burner-cover-thingys and then wip around all the crevices. It’s much easier to wipe down a flat surface, in my opinion. Plus it acts as extra workspace if you’re not using it.
    Granted if you get stuff caked onto it then the cleaning is a bit harder, but I use barkeeper’s friend on it and that works relatively well.

    • Nicole, RD
      May 5, 2012 / 6:52 am

      Maybe I should try barkeeper’s friend….thanks for the suggestion!

  12. May 4, 2012 / 1:58 pm

    Yum – I totally want one! And I am one of the unfortunate people with a glass-top electric stove top. It is so hard to keep clean!

  13. May 4, 2012 / 3:31 pm

    Oh dear heavens. Do NOT let my husband see this! 🙂 I think I want this as my birthday cake this year. Well, birthday brownies anyways!

  14. May 4, 2012 / 5:43 pm

    We never had S’mores growing up. Like, not once. I didn’t even know what they were until grade 8 or 9 when I went camping with a friend and her family.

    • Nicole, RD
      May 5, 2012 / 6:49 am

      That is sad! I’m glad you have now enjoyed one of the best treats out there!

  15. May 4, 2012 / 7:09 pm

    Look at how perfectly toasted the top is, yum!

  16. May 5, 2012 / 12:09 am

    I have a gas stove-top and my stove is also hardly ever clean!

  17. May 5, 2012 / 10:33 am

    OMG I’ve never ever had s’mores ever but these look amazing. Will definitely need to bake them and give them to family members before I eat them all by myself.

  18. May 6, 2012 / 7:19 pm

    These look delicious, great for a summer cookout in lieu of being able to have actual smores!

  19. May 8, 2012 / 1:59 am

    YUM! These brownies look insanely good!!

  20. May 8, 2012 / 9:20 am

    Wow. Just wow.

    Thanks for being part of the recipe swaps!

  21. May 8, 2012 / 8:18 pm

    Oh my, these look incredible!! Will definitely be making these very soon. Thank you!

  22. May 10, 2012 / 12:59 am

    I like how the chocolate bars are still kind of intact.

    • Nicole, RD
      May 10, 2012 / 7:09 am

      Me too 🙂

  23. May 10, 2012 / 2:12 pm

    I’ve died and gone to heaven… Yup, pretty much the case here.

  24. May 10, 2012 / 8:19 pm

    Oh my gosh. I love brownies and I love smore’s…the two together? Amazing!! I absolutely love the broiling of the marshmallows for a real authentic s’mores look. Yum 😀

  25. May 16, 2012 / 10:20 pm

    Oh my gosh!!!! Smores……Brownies……. AMAZINGNESSS!!!! ;D I HAVE to make these once I get a brownie mix. Do you think a cake mix would work?

    • Nicole, RD
      May 17, 2012 / 7:37 am

      Hi Kathleen! I think you could use cake, yep. I do think it would be better with brownies, though 🙂

  26. May 24, 2012 / 1:38 pm

    Yum! What are your thoughts on using a larger dish to achieve a thinner brownie “crust”. Say 13×9 pan?

    • Nicole, RD
      May 24, 2012 / 8:21 pm

      Natalie: Absolutely! Just adjust the baking time accordingly and the rest is the same as far as “S’morsing” them 😉

    May 30, 2012 / 9:24 pm

    I just made these for a potluck at work. It was incredibly easy and I am sure it will be a real crowd pleaser. How in the heck do you come up with such amazing ideas?

    • Nicole, RD
      May 30, 2012 / 9:28 pm

      Carman, I’m glad you found them to be simple…and without a doubt, they will be a hit! I take no credit for that recipe, just stumbled upon it online and knew I had to make them! The original recipe is from Betty Crocker. 🙂

    I use the oven to make s’mores…or rather just to roast marshmallows b/c I honestly could care less about the chocolate and graham crackers. Broiler on and marshmallows on a piece of foil for easy clean up. Just watch them so they don’t burn.
    Mini marshmallows are my favorite, they brown quickly and cool fast but are still gooey on the inside! YUMMY!!

    I’m curious why you didn’t make the brownies from scratch other than it’s more convenient? Also, do you have to top the brownies with grahm crakcers to keep everything in tact? I think they would be great with a graham cracker pie crust bottom instead (not saying this version isn’t delicious, but I’d like to put my own twist).

    • Nicole, RD
      August 9, 2012 / 10:16 am

      Time savings. I’m not crazy about baking, so it was just a preference. Plus, these are rich enough without going the homemade route with all of the butter and additional chocolate…or at least how I make brownies! You can definitely do without the graham crackers on top.

    August 22, 2012 / 12:14 pm

    I just made these and they turned out amazing!! <3 I used the ghiradelli triple chocolate brownie mix that i got fro costco and used less hersheys since the brownie mix already had chocolate chips. My sister already had 3 pieces…but they were extremely difficult to cut, the marshmallows kept sticking to the knife, any tips?

    • Nicole, RD
      August 24, 2012 / 10:03 am

      Hi Rachel! So glad you enjoyed these! I think using a wet kinfe may help…you could also refrigerate them for an hour before serving, cut, and then allow to come back to room temp (or serve cold). I hope that helps!

      I would make the brownies the night before and just broil with the chocolate in the morning so the graham cracker is sure to stay crispy. If you do make ahead, I would not refrigerate and I’d leave it vented just a bit to allow moisture out 🙂

Academic writing

The topic of diminishing forest areas has become one of the most discussed issues nowadays; but in some places in the world, it has become a national problem. Therefore, it is evident that this question is worth investigating.

However, it is crucial to go through this stage while working on your paper. So, let us start with some advice that may be useful for your deforestation essay introduction and other parts.

How to choose the title for your text?

Writing down a good and catchy title is a bit of a challenge for young authors because many great titles of deforestation essay topics were already used by someone else. That is why it will only be beneficial if you just sit down and think of new and unique headings. If you feel like you really have no clue about it, it’s better to surf the Web for some title ideas for deforestation essay. But are there any other tips that a young author can apply while working on this assignment?

Basically, the techniques and tricks that you use depend on the situation, specifically, the type of text that you have been assigned. However, here is a tip that can be applied for any paper, even essay on deforestation is necessary for development; the title should be short and comprehensible. People often judge the whole text by the few initial words that they read. Therefore, you have to make sure that your title serves as a strong and meaningful statement. Second, the title has to reflect the content of the writing. If you are aiming at a high-quality rainforest deforestation essay, you have to be extremely careful with the title. Therefore, it is wise to include the information that sums up the whole text. But enough talks about the deforestation essay titles, it is the time to move on to more interesting and difficult topics that are going to be useful when writing the text.

The other things to think about before moving on to the writing deforestation essay outline

Preparation is an essential part of any undertaking, and the same applies to the writing. In this paragraph, we will give you some insights about what should be done before you proceed with the paper. When working on a deforestation and global warming essay, you should prepare an outline or a simple list with all of the possible topics and subtopics that you want to discuss. Moreover, you can even add a rough estimation of the number of words for each section of the essay. Following this technique, you will have a better idea about what content you want to include and how you should distribute the word count through the sections of your paper. By the way, the same trick works with deforestation research paper introduction and its other parts.

Okay, you may wonder what will be discussed next. Now we will give you some advice on how to search and use the information for your afforestation and deforestation essay or any other essay on this topic.

college essay on deforestation

Collecting information

One of the key requirements for a good essay is that it has to be informative. Your readers will be looking for new knowledge, and it is very important for your writing to satisfy this need. If you look at any deforestation essay example, you will notice that all of them cover a certain aspect of the deforestation issue, so it is better to concentrate on a couple of them. Adding some interesting facts, statistical data, and vivid examples would be extremely useful. Finally, we are moving to the next part of our discussion, i.e., the actual search of information.

Searching information for the deforestation research paper

It would be better to start with this type of text because as a rule, it is a little more difficult than the other assignments. It would be best to begin the data search with the list of subtopics you may have created before. At this point, you can pick the most interesting or crucial subtopics or remove some of them completely. Then you can proceed with the information search. People usually enjoy interesting information that is supported by great visuals and graphs, therefore, it is important to make your paper engaging. The same rule applies to deforestation essay thesis that you might work on in the future. For now, let’s go back to the essays again.

While working on an essay, you may not follow the rules too strictly. For example, your language can be less formal; if necessary, you can even include some jokes in your writing. However, it is still important to follow the outline of the subtopics we have mentioned earlier. This way, the essay will be well-structured and consistent. You can also add provocative or even shocking content in order to amaze the readers. These tips are going to be useful for all types of essays, from the simple ones to more difficult texts like the deforestation persuasive essay.

An extremely important thing about the information you have found is its validity. In order to avoid fake or incorrect information, it is better to check every source that you are using. It is especially vital to use valid data when you are writing a solution to deforestation essay, as the authors of these papers often refer to the media that provide unreliable or false facts about deforestation. Usually, the students are required to use several sources in their assignments. The sources may be articles or research papers done by other authors; it is highly important to double-check every source to ensure its validity before using it in your how to stop deforestation essay.

Introduction of the deforestation essay

Some of the novice writers might underestimate the value of a good introduction. On the contrary, it is of great importance to make this part of your essay stand out and captivate the reader’s attention. How do you write a perfect introduction? First of all, you have to plan the key points that you want to investigate in your argumentative essay on deforestation. Once you have a rough outline of the whole paper, it would be much easier to think of an appropriate introduction. In addition, a well-structured essay with all its parts logically connected will be easy to read and comprehend.

So, what are the main advice on how to make your beginning of the text better? First of all, you need to think what you want to write in the whole argumentative essay on deforestation and only after that, you have to start working on your intro. After you are done with this part, it will be important to start thinking about the other details of the text. If you follow this approach, it is most likely that your beginning is logically connected to your solution essay outline and the subsequent paragraphs.

The main trick in writing an essay that would engage its readers from the first sentences is starting it with some thrilling or even shocking information, which is often called a “hook.” Authors use various types of hooks in their thesis statement for deforestation research paper. However, the best hooks are always some interesting or astonishing facts that people have never heard of. A good hook also increases your chances of getting a high grade for your paper. Therefore, make sure that you spend enough time composing this small part.

How to move on to the next part of your deforestation research paper outline and any other type of an essay

Another thing that many young authors forget about is that it is very difficult for the brain to perceive and analyze large amounts of information, especially in a long scientific text. There is a high probability that an average person would not read so much content at once or even skip certain parts. Therefore, it is important to allow taking breaks while reading or simply switch to reading material on a different topic. Moreover, you can pick a deforestation essay with subheadings to divide your text accordingly.

Of course, there are certain advantages and disadvantages of deforestation essay writing, especially if the main part of the essay is concerned. Experienced writers would argue that composing the main part is not as difficult as writing any other parts; however, beginners often find it challenging as they are not used to working on large portions of the content. As long as your text is not a deforestation short essay for kids, it will be a difficult task to write its main part. But do not panic, with the help of this article, your main part is going to be as good and informative as your intro or conclusion.

So what should you do? First, you need to think about the layout of the main part. It may depend on the type of essay you are working on, however, usually, you have to set a structure for your essay and divide it into smaller parts to make it easier to read. If you find an example of research paper in deforestation, you will notice that a slightly different approach can be applied. The author of such an essay can divide it into many smaller subtopics that are loosely connected and then gradually elaborate on them. This method will save you a lot of time and effort while you are collecting relevant material and writing transitional parts to connect the subtopics.

Finally, let us provide you with some tips on how to make up a perfect main part:

  • Remember that your college essay on deforestation has to be well-structured. It is best to separate one paragraph for each argument.
  • Working on arguments of your cause and effect of deforestation essay, elaborate on each point.
  • If you wish, include a summary sentence for each paragraph.

We hope that after reading this part, you will know how to approach the biggest part of your essay. Now it’s time to move on.

Essay on dangers of deforestation

Such an essay is quite different from other types of deforestation papers mainly because it is usually incorporated as a subtopic of larger writing. Still, if you decided to write a separate essay on this topic, you can start with a simple intro explaining the main idea. Also, you will have to think how you are going to approach the deforestation essay conclusion that would summarize the key points discussed in the essay. In conclusion, you can also urge the readers to take action against the deforestation issue. Additionally, you can highlight the importance of the discussed problem by giving examples of how deforestation impacts the lives of people around the world.

Going back to the main part of the deforestation essay, you may dwell on the aspects of the problem that might not be known to the majority of people. Usually, you shouldn’t try to impress the reader because any writer of deforestation effects on biodiversity essay discusses serious matters that can be close to a scientific text. Therefore, make sure that the information you are providing is factual and supported by evidence. It is also suggested that you double-check all the sources that you are using for your prevention of deforestation essay. Finding reliable information is hard, therefore, we are going to provide you with some helpful directions on how to search the information.

First of all, you may point out in the essay that if humanity does not take necessary actions, we might lose all rainforests in less than 100 years. Therefore, it is important to enact laws that would guarantee environmental protection. You can provide examples of territories that were covered with vast areas of rainforests that were eventually cut down. Another issue closely connected to deforestation is the fact that rainforests provide shelter to millions of species. These animals and plants greatly depend on their living environment and cannot survive anywhere else. Here you can also highlight that companies and corporations do not care about this fact, so it is crucial for the government to ban unregulated logging. Lastly, you can describe the far-reaching effects of diminished rainforest areas in your consequences of deforestation essay. With that said, there is one more topic that we have to discuss. Surprisingly, that is the positive impact of the deforestation. Many people may argue that there is nothing good in cutting down the rainforests; however, this is not entirely true.

Discussion essay on deforestation’s good sides

As any other essay, this type of paper requires an intro as well. A good introduction will allow you to give the reader a basic idea of the whole writing. In the main part of the essay, you need to explain that the deforestation does not always happen for profit. Sometimes cutting trees has positive outcomes. A reflective essay on deforestation is a great way to discuss the good aspects of this phenomenon. You might also take the neutral position and describe both positive and adverse effects of deforestation. Regardless of what you choose to write about, you will need to provide well-grounded facts why it is useful to cut trees sometimes. You will also be able to use these facts in your how did deforestation increase and change over time essay.

In particular cases, the deforestation can be one of the reasons for an economic miracle. For example, the areas cleared from the forest can be used to enhance urbanization, agriculture, or industry. It is important to note that in order to maintain the balance, planting of new forests should be promoted by the government and environmental organizations. There are other reasons to cut down trees. In cases when a disease spreads across the forest, it is better to remove the affected trees to save the ones that were not harmed.

By the way, just for your information, it might be said that there is a correlation between oil and forests cutting. You will be able to use this info in your palm oil production and deforestation essay.

While working on your paper, you need to make the conclusion part as much prominent as possible. Here you have to synthesize all of the previously discussed information and state the main points regarding the ways of dealing with the deforestation in your essay on overpopulation and deforestation. However, remember not to overload the reader with too much complex information in this part.

How to conclude a problem of deforestation essay?

Some writers might say that conclusion is the easiest part of the paper; however, it only seems so. This is a common misconception, so it is advised to approach writing a conclusion very attentively. Here are some tips that would help you to write a great conclusion.

First of all, do not plunge into writing it right away. Conclusion is a form of a summary, and it requires some time and thinking to be done beforehand. Sit down for 20-30 minutes with a pen and a notebook or with your laptop to write as many ideas as possible about how you could end your what is deforestation essay. After some time, you can have a look at your list of ideas and pick only the most suitable ones that really fit the context of your assignment.

While working on the conclusion, think about the message you want to convey to your readers and whether it will have a long-lasting effect on them. One of the techniques that you can use is asking “So what?” question. It’s also a good idea to give your readers a broader picture that will help them understand how they can use the information in different situations. For example, you may state that deforestation influences not only forests and their inhabitants, but also many other things. Deforestation is one of the leading causes of climate change with far-reaching consequences, such as unpredictable weather conditions and natural disasters around the world. It is also recommended to link your conclusion to the introduction by expanding the concepts and goals mentioned at the beginning of the essay. Such a trick may work out in such papers as essay on deforestation effect on global warming.

Now you can move on to actual writing of your conclusion part. Still, there are many things to take into account. Here are a few tips about writing that you can use to create the best deforestation research paper conclusion.

As you already know, the main purpose of any conclusion is to give a summary of the main arguments and ideas stated in the paper. Therefore, you can start your conclusion repeating the topic and thesis statement to your readers; however, make sure not just to copy-paste your thesis but to rephrase it in an interesting way. You can also mention the key points discussed in the essay and provide a summary in order to show how they are interconnected in relation to the topic. This will serve as a quick reminder of what have you said in your essay against deforestation.

There exist other ways to make a lasting impact on your readers. Particularly, you can include a call to action. In case you are writing a deforestation essay for students, you can encourage them to take action in order to change the situation or conduct further research in this field. Making an appeal to readers’ feelings and emotions can prove useful if you feel that your essay is really serious. To do so, you can use a story, either personal or heard from someone else. It is always beneficial to establish contact with the readers and give them some really useful food for thought. For example, if you are writing a reduce deforestation essay, ask your readers what they can do right now to reduce deforestation and climate change.

Suggest what might happen if humanity won’t make any efforts to change the situation. Warn your readers what consequences humans’ ignorance might have if people don’t reduce the rates of deforestation. You could also describe the image of the possible future. For instance, if you are writing how to solve deforestation essay, give examples of things that might happen if our society doesn’t change anything, and say what will happen if humans take action to change the future of our planet.

So far, we have covered all of our dos — now it is time to go over all of the don’ts:

  • Don’t add any new information. Everything that you find useful for the essay should be included in the introduction or the body of the essay. Conclusion is only for reviewing of points you made; bringing new information or evidence will only harm the essay and confuse your readers.
  • Don’t show your weak sides. Trust yourself and your ideas; you should show your confidence in the way how you write your essay. If you are not sure how to make your voice persuasive, find any sample essay about deforestation to see how other writers handled the same situation and learn from them. Your essay writing about deforestation should sound convincing, as well as your ideas about the topic.
  • Don’t be repetitive as it will make you look like an incompetent writer who is not capable of using original constructions and synonyms. Surely, that is not about you, therefore, don’t fall into the trap of using the same words more than once.
  • Don’t quote. Quotes will do their job perfectly in the main body of your text, but adding them to the ending is not a good decision. Even if there is a great quote that you really like, save it for the main part.
  • Don’t use too much of scientific vocabulary. It is okay to use a few scientific terms in your research paper, but don’t overuse them. Your readers might even be irritated by the amount of the unknown words.
  • Don’t make your conclusion too big. While a too short conclusion sounds like you have been in a rush, a too long one may sound boring. The length of conclusion depends a lot on the type of paper you are writing. If you write a short essay on deforestation, make sure that your conclusion is not too long and you don’t go beyond the limit.

We hope that these tips were useful for you. Believe in yourself, and your essay on how to stop deforestation essay will be the best!

What Kind Of Noun Is Agreement

Such a concordance is also found with predictors: man is tall (“man is great”) vs. the chair is large (“the chair is large”). (In some languages, such as German. B, that is not the case; only the attribute modifiers show the agreement.) The predicate corresponds in number to the subject, and if it is copulatory (i.e. it consists of a noun/ajective and a verb that agrees on the number with the subject). For example: A k-nyvek ardek voltak “Books were interesting” (a: this: “k-nyv”: book, “erkes”: interesting, “voltak”: were): the plural is marked on the theme as well as on the addjectival and the copulatory part of the predicate. In English, the defective verbs usually show no agreement for the person or the number, they contain the modal verbs: can, can, can, must, should, should. Such an agreement currently exists for an influenza pandemic, Phelan notes, but not for any other type of disease or vaccine. A collective noun is singular when considered unity and plural, if individuals are considered.

Class and number are indicated with prefixes (or sometimes their absence) that are not always the same for subtantifs, adjectives and verbs, as the examples illustrate. According to the IAEA, the agreement has three main points that Iran has all respected.

An example is “everyone,” a unique name that refers to a group, but must correspond to a singular verb, that is, “everyone is happy.” Noun-Pronoun Agreement: Number and Gender Equality This decision went hand in hand with a multi-party agreement to offer all registered voters the opportunity to vote by mail or withdraw one at an early stage, according to the Louisville Courier Journal.
