It’s 5:00 somewhere

In our way, Johnson strongly expressed his love of driving fast in a post-chaise. ‘If (said he,) I had no duties, and no reference to futurity, I would spend my life in driving briskly in a post-chaise with a pretty woman; but she should be one who could understand me, and would add something to the conversation.’ I observed, that we were this day to stop just where the Highland army did in 1745. JOHNSON. ‘It was a noble attempt.’ BOSWELL. ‘I wish we could have an authentick history of it.’ JOHNSON. ‘If you were not an idle dog you might write it, by collecting from every body what they can tell, and putting down your authorities.’ BOSWELL. ‘But I could not have the advantage of it in my life-time.’ JOHNSON. ‘You might have the satisfaction of its fame, by printing it in Holland; and as to profit, consider how long it was before writing came to be considered in a pecuniary view. Baretti says, he is the first man that ever received copy-money in Italy.’ I said that I would endeavour to do what Dr. Johnson suggested and I thought that I might write so as to venture to publish my History of the Civil War in Great-Britain in 1745 and 1746, without being obliged to go to a foreign press.

When we arrived at Derby, Dr. Butter accompanied us to see the manufactory of china there. I admired the ingenuity and delicate art with which a man fashioned clay into a cup, a saucer, or a tea-pot, while a boy turned round a wheel to give the mass rotundity. I thought this as excellent in its species of power, as making good verses in ITS species. Yet I had no respect for this potter. Neither, indeed, has a man of any extent of thinking for a mere verse-maker, in whose numbers, however perfect, there is no poetry, no mind. The china was beautiful, but Dr. Johnson justly observed it was too dear; for that he could have vessels of silver, of the same size, as cheap as what were here made of porcelain.

I felt a pleasure in walking about Derby such as I always have in walking about any town to which I am not accustomed. There is an immediate sensation of novelty; and one speculates on the way in which life is passed in it, which, although there is a sameness every where upon the whole, is yet minutely diversified. The minute diversities in every thing are wonderful. Talking of shaving the other night at Dr. Taylor’s, Dr. Johnson said, ‘Sir, of a thousand shavers, two do not shave so much alike as not to be distinguished.’ I thought this not possible, till he specified so many of the varieties in shaving;–holding the razor more or less perpendicular;–drawing long or short strokes;–beginning at the upper part of the face, or the under;–at the right side or the left side. Indeed, when one considers what variety of sounds can be uttered by the windpipe, in the compass of a very small aperture, we may be convinced how many degrees of difference there may be in the application of a razor.

Top 5 most overrated players in the Premier League 2023-24

Determining the most overrated players is subjective and can vary based on individual opinions. However, during the 2019-20 Premier League season, some players received mixed reviews or were considered by some as overrated. Keep in mind that opinions may have changed since then, and these assessments were made at that specific time. Here are a few players who faced varying opinions during the 2019-20 season:

Paul Pogba (Manchester United):

Pogba has been a polarizing figure with some questioning if his performances justified the hype and price tag.

Mesut Özil (Arsenal):

Özil has been a talented player, but there were debates about his consistency and work rate during the 2019-20 season.

Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur):

Alli’s performances were inconsistent during the 2019-20 season, leading to discussions about his form and impact on the pitch.

Jesse Lingard (Manchester United):

Lingard faced criticism for his lack of goals and assists during the 2019-20 season, which led to discussions about his role in the team.

Nicolas Pépé (Arsenal):

Pépé, despite being a big-money signing, had moments of inconsistency during his debut season in the Premier League, leading to questions about his overall impact.

It’s important to note that opinions on players can change rapidly based on their performances, and these assessments may not reflect the current sentiments towards these players.

The heart of Nintendo’s new console isn’t the Switch


A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart.

I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.

I should be incapable of drawing a single stroke at the present moment; and yet I feel that I never was a greater artist than now.

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me: when I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countless indescribable forms of the insects and flies, then I feel the presence of the Almighty, who formed us in his own image, and the breath of that universal love which bears and sustains us, as it floats around us in an eternity of bliss; and then, my friend, when darkness overspreads my eyes, and heaven and earth seem to dwell in my soul and absorb its power, like the form of a beloved mistress, then I often think with longing, Oh, would I could describe these conceptions, could impress upon paper all that is living so full and warm within me, that it might be the mirror of my soul, as my soul is the mirror of the infinite God!

O my friend — but it is too much for my strength — I sink under the weight of the splendour of these visions! A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine.Paragraph

Metro city’s should make road with protection In mind

Designing and constructing roads with safety and protection in mind is a crucial aspect of urban planning. Roads are essential elements of any metropolitan area, and incorporating safety features can significantly enhance the well-being of both pedestrians and motorists. Here are several considerations for building roads with protection in mind:

Pedestrian Infrastructure:

Sidewalks:

Ensure well-maintained and spacious sidewalks separated from the road to provide a safe walking environment.

Crosswalks:

Implement marked crosswalks at intersections to guide pedestrians safely across the road.
Pedestrian Overpasses/Underpasses: Consider constructing overpasses or underpasses in areas with high pedestrian traffic to minimize the risk of accidents.

Cyclist-Friendly Design:

Bike Lanes: Incorporate dedicated bike lanes separated from vehicular traffic to promote cycling safety.
Bike Racks: Install bike racks at strategic locations to encourage cycling and provide secure places for parking.

Traffic Calming Measures:

Speed Bumps: Use speed bumps in residential areas and near schools to reduce vehicle speeds.
Roundabouts: Implement roundabouts instead of traditional intersections to slow down traffic and improve safety.

Accessible Infrastructure:

ADA Compliance:

Ensure that road infrastructure is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to accommodate individuals with disabilities.
Accessible Crossings: Install ramps and accessible crossings to facilitate the movement of people with mobility challenges.

Road Lighting:

Streetlights:

Adequate street lighting enhances visibility, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall safety.
Pedestrian Crosswalk Lighting: Install additional lighting at crosswalks to increase visibility for both pedestrians and drivers.
Green Spaces and Landscaping:

Roadside Greenery:

Incorporate green spaces and landscaping along roads, providing aesthetic value while also promoting a sense of safety.

Tree Planting:

Plant trees strategically to provide shade and improve air quality.
Advanced Traffic Management Systems:

Traffic Signals:

Implement modern traffic signal systems to optimize traffic flow and enhance safety.

Smart Crosswalks:

Use technologies such as smart crosswalks that provide signals or warnings to both pedestrians and drivers.

Emergency Services Access:

Emergency Lanes:

Designate lanes or routes for emergency vehicles to ensure quick and unobstructed access during emergencies.

Public Awareness and Education:

Signage:

Install clear and visible signage to communicate speed limits, pedestrian crossings, and other important information.

Educational Campaigns:

Conduct public awareness campaigns to educate residents about road safety and proper usage of infrastructure.
By incorporating these elements into road design, metropolitan areas can create safer and more sustainable environments for their residents. Collaborative efforts between urban planners, engineers, and the community are essential to ensuring that road infrastructure prioritizes protection and safety.
