... closer to the moon.
On Saturday I went to a very nice soiree [too posh to be a party] and the host is a personal friend of Buzz Aldrin. So I am now just two steps away from walking on the moon; previously it was three.
AND I just checked and today is Buzz's birthday, so Hippo Burp Day Buzz! ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

That's what he told you did he?

"Balaclava illuminator where one spends ones last day and evening experiencing The Tempest."(8,11)
Not too hard, so press on with it.

Florence Nightingale
Florence - not too sure here, but was Florence typically the last stop on the Grand Tour?
Evening experiencing the Tempest - night in gale
Florence Nightingale plublicised the horrors of the Crimean War, particularly Balaclava, and also invented the Pie Chart IIRC?

There is a saying, "See Florence and die".
Thus "where one spends ones last day"
And, as you say, an evening experiencing The Tempest" is Night In Gale.
Florry was at the battle of Balaclava, treating the wounded and was known as The Lady with the Lamp, thus Balaclava Illuminator.
Very good.
She took to her death bed in 1857, although she did not die until 1910!
She also kept an owl in her pocket.
Weird woman!

Lazy bugger! She reminds me of Derek Trotter's dad who, to paraphrase (spending a lot of time in bed instead of looking for work), "would have liked a job but he suffered from a sticky mattress."
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Do you know any Free Plagiarism Tool which we can use easily ? 
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know of such a tool, but going by some of the articles that are trying to get through the doors nowadays, such a thing must exist and be easy to find.
|
|
|
|
|
I have to believe he means the opposite - a tool that can identify plagiarized material.

Yep,Exactly. You're right.
Do you know such a Tool ?
|
|
|
|
|
When moderating articles here on CodeProject, I look for paragraphs that are worded in a way that seem different than other things written by the author or flat out looks like it comes from a book. I then copy that text and run it through Google.

Often a quick keyword search on Google also helps.
And if there are obvious formatting issues the article is more likely to be plagiarized.

Thanks Marco.

In case he did, there are plenty of them out there: Dr. Google[^]

Actually My idea is, before approving the COP articles, check whether is that one is suspected for the Plagiarism ? So, how can I do that ?
|
|
|
|
|
Cut and paste some sentences into Google and see what comes up. That's what most people do.
|

Thanks for the advice Pete
|
|

Also check images that might appear in the article. Sometimes the plagiarists mess up and the images link straight back to the original source.

Thanks SoMad for useful feedbacks.

I don't know about other browsers, but I stopped using Firefox when I discovered that with TWO KEYSTROKES you could copy an entire article; CTRL+A and CTRL+C. Disgusting I call it!

Let's hope no one else discovers that.

Yep Richard.Thanks a lot.

I don't know of any such tool, but here is a piece of advise: Don't copy from a singe source, instead copy from multiple sources, and then you can call it Research.
