Palay is the product of our town

Palay 

like most grasses cultivated for human consumption, is an annual crop that needs to be resown for harvest each year. palay is grown in partially submerged fields, also called paddies, and when mature, the plant reaches a height of approximately three feet (one meter). palay has a classically grass-like appearance, with a small cluster of kernels at the top of a long stalk. palay is harvested when it turns golden, and the resulting crop is threshed to remove the hulls. Many developing nations use the chaff of rice as fuel for electricity generation

Parts of a computer

If you use a desktop computer, you might already know that there isn't any single part called the "computer." A computer is really a system of many parts working together. The physical parts, which you can see and touch, are collectively called hardware. (Software, on the other hand, refers to the instructions, or programs, that tell the hardware what to do.)

The illustration below shows the most common hardware in a desktop computer system. Your system may look a little different, but it probably has most of these parts. A laptop computer has similar parts but combines them into a single notebook-sized package.

Desktop computer system

Let's take a look at each of these parts.

System unit

The system unit is the core of a computer system. Usually it's a rectangular box placed on or underneath your desk. Inside this box are many electronic components that process information. The most important of these components is the central processing unit (CPU), or microprocessor, which acts as the "brain" of your computer. Another component is random access memory (RAM), which temporarily stores information that the CPU uses while the computer is on. The information stored in RAM is erased when the computer is turned off.

Almost every other part of your computer connects to the system unit using cables. The cables plug into specific ports (openings), typically on the back of the system unit. Hardware that is not part of the system unit is sometimes called a peripheral device or device.

Storage

Your computer has one or more disk drives—devices that store information on a metal or plastic disk. The disk preserves the information even when your computer is turned off.

Hard disk drive

Your computer's hard disk drive stores information on a hard disk, a rigid platter or stack of platters with a magnetic surface. Because hard disks can hold massive amounts of information, they usually serve as your computer's primary means of storage, holding almost all of your programs and files. The hard disk drive is normally located inside the system unit.

CD and DVD drives

Nearly all computers today come equipped with a CD or DVD drive, usually located on the front of the system unit. CD drives use lasers to read (retrieve) data from a CD, and many CD drives can also write (record) data onto CDs. If you have a recordable disk drive, you can store copies of your files on blank CDs. You can also use a CD drive to play music CDs on your computer.

CD

DVD drives can do everything that CD drives can, plus read DVDs. If you have a DVD drive, you can watch movies on your computer. Many DVD drives can record data onto blank DVDs.

Tip

If you have a recordable CD or DVD drive, periodically back up (copy) your important files to CDs or DVDs. That way, if your hard disk ever fails, you won't lose your data.

Floppy disk drive

Floppy disk drives store information on floppy disks, also called floppies or diskettes. Compared to CDs and DVDs, floppy disks can store only a small amount of data. They also retrieve information more slowly and are more prone to damage. For these reasons, floppy disk drives are less popular than they used to be, although some computers still include them.

Floppy disk

Why are floppy disks "floppy"? Even though the outside is made of hard plastic, that's just the sleeve. The disk inside is made of a thin, flexible vinyl material.

Mouse

A mouse is a small device used to point to and select items on your computer screen. Although mice come in many shapes, the typical mouse does look a bit like an actual mouse. It's small, oblong, and connected to the system unit by a long wire that resembles a tail. Some newer mice are wireless.

Mouse

A mouse usually has two buttons: a primary button (usually the left button) and a secondary button. Many mice also have a wheel between the two buttons, which allows you to scroll smoothly through screens of information.

When you move the mouse with your hand, a pointer on your screen moves in the same direction. (The pointer's appearance might change depending on where it's positioned on your screen.) When you want to select an item, you point to the item and then click (press and release) the primary button. Pointing and clicking with your mouse is the main way to interact with your computer. For more information, see Using your mouse.

Keyboard

A keyboard is used mainly for typing text into your computer. Like the keyboard on a typewriter, it has keys for letters and numbers, but it also has special keys:

• The function keys, found on the top row, perform different functions depending on where they are used.
• The numeric keypad, located on the right side of most keyboards, allows you to enter numbers quickly.
• The navigation keys, such as the arrow keys, allow you to move your position within a document or webpage.

You can also use your keyboard to perform many of the same tasks you can perform with a mouse. For more information, see Using your keyboard.

Monitor

A monitor displays information in visual form, using text and graphics. The portion of the monitor that displays the information is called the screen. Like a television screen, a computer screen can show still or moving pictures.

There are two basic types of monitors: CRT (cathode ray tube) monitors and LCD (liquid crystal display) monitors. Both types produce sharp images, but LCD monitors have the advantage of being much thinner and lighter. CRT monitors, however, are generally more affordable.

Printer

A printer transfers data from a computer onto paper. You don't need a printer to use your computer, but having one allows you to print e‑mail, cards, invitations, announcements, and other materials. Many people also like being able to print their own photos at home.

The two main types of printers are inkjet printers and laser printers. Inkjet printers are the most popular printers for the home. They can print in black and white or in full color and can produce high-quality photographs when used with special paper. Laser printers are faster and generally better able to handle heavy use.

Speakers

Speakers are used to play sound. They may be built into the system unit or connected with cables. Speakers allow you to listen to music and hear sound effects from your computer.

Modem

To connect your computer to the Internet, you need a modem. A modem is a device that sends and receives computer information over a telephone line or high-speed cable. Modems are sometimes built into the system unit, but higher-speed modems are usually separate components.

Geographic Location

     The municipality of Quezon is one of thirty seven (37) towns which comprise the province of Isabela. Situated in the northwestern portion of the province, it is bounded in the north of the municipality of Sta. Maria, on the south the municipality of Mallig, on the east by the municipality of Delfin Albano, all within the province of Isabela; and on the west by the province of Kalinga (See Figure 2-1. Location Map) a land locked municipality, its absolute location is between 1210 32’ to 121041’ longitude east and 17 0 14’ to 17 026 latitude north. Its main access is a national highway that traverses in a general north-south direction virtually slicing the municipality lengthwise and connects it with other municipalities in Isabela (i.e. Sta. Maria in the north, Mallig in the south). To the east lies a provincial road which links Quezon to Sto. Tomas area. A provincial artery links it with the province of Kalinga to the West. It is approximately 56 km from Tuguegarao, the regional center, about 20 km from Tabuk, the provincial capital of Kalinga, and about 410 km from Metro Manila with an average travel time of 8 to 9 hours by land.

Unlike some parts of Isabela, Quezon was part of its creation in 1856 through a Royal Decree issued by the King of Spain. 

Prior to its creation in June 1, 1959, some Igorot and Kalinga tribes from the Cordilleras sparsely populated the town of Quezon.

When Manuel L. Quezon became the president of the Republic of the Philippines, he opened a vast track of inhabited land for settlement including the northwestern portion of the province of Isabela through LASEDECO, and named it as the “Mallig Regional. After World War II, and with the attainment of peace and order, the influx of new settlers in the area has increased. The lone representative of the district, particularly Representative Delfin Albano and the provincial officials saw the continuous arrival of settlers and their need of basic equipment that caused them to urgently create a new municipality. Under House Bill No. 736 and with the approval of Republic Act 2418, the municipality of Quezon was officially inaugurated as an independent municipality separating it from its mother town-Mallig.

The municipality, under its creation, consisted of fifteen (15) barangays, namely:

1. Abut                                  9.  Lepanto
2. Alunan                             10.  Mangga
3. Arellano                           11.  Minagbag
4. Aurora                             12.  Samonte
5. Barucboc                         13.  San Juan
6. Callanguigan                  14.  Santos
7. Dummon                        15.  Turod
8. Estrada
