The Adventure of Three Students

In 1895 Mr. Sherlock Holmes and I spent some weeks in one of our great University towns. It was during this time that the facts which I am going to tell you took place.

One evening we received a visit from a certain Mr. Hilton Soames, lecturer at the College of St. Luke’s. Mr. Soames was so excited that it was clear that something very unusual had happened.

“I hope, Mr. Holmes,” said he, “that you can give me a few hours of your time. A very unpleasant thing has taken place at our college and I don’t know what to do.”

“I am very busy just now,” my friend answered. “Could you call to the police?”

“No, no, my dear sir, that is absolutely impossible. It is one of these cases when it is quite necessary to avoid scandal. I am sure you will keep our secret. You are the only man in the world who can help me. I beg you, Mr. Holmes, to do what you can. ”

Holmes agreed, though very unwillingly, and our visitor began his story.

“I must explain to you, Mr. Holmes,” he said, “that tomorrow is the first day of the examination for the Fortescue Scholarship. I am one of the examiners. My subject is Greek. The first of the examination papers consists of a piece of Greek translation which the candidates for the scholarship have not seen before. Of course, every candidate would be happy if he could see it before the examination and prepare it in advance. So much care is taken to keep it secret.”

“Today at about three o’clock I was the proofs of the examination papers. At four- thirty I went out to take tea in a friend’s room, and I left the papers upon my desk. I was absent a little more than an hour.”

“When I approached my door, I was surprised to see a key in it. For a moment I thought I had left my own key there, But when I put my hand in my pocket, I found my key in it. The other key to my room belonged to my servant, Bannister, who has been looking after my room for ten years. I am absolutely sure of his honesty. I understood that he had entered my room to ask if I wanted tear.”

When Did Man First Dream of Space Travel?

The dream of leaving the earth and reaching another world can be traced back in history to the second century A. D. At the time a Greek, Lucian of Samos, wrote a fantasy about a man who was carried to the moon by a waterspout during a storm. In his second story about space, Lucian’s hero flew to the moon with a pair of wings he had made himself.

The moon was the obvious destination for such fantasies because it is so large and has clearly visible markings, which could be thought of as a land and sea areas. But for the next 1400 years, the dream of reaching the moon was abandoned.

It was not until 300 years ago, when the famous Italian astronomer Galileo looked through his telescope and told about the other worlds he saw, that men realized there were other worlds in addition to our earth. Again, they began to dream of reaching these worlds.

In 1634, there appeared a story about a journey to the moon by Johannes Kepler, the German astronomer who discovered how the planets moved about the sun. Although Kepler was a scientist, he transported his hero to the moon by “magic moon people” who could fly through space. Kepler included a detailed description of the surface of the moon, which he had seen through his telescope.

After Kepler’s book, there were many others about space travel and voyages to the moon. The first serious discussion of space travel was written in 1640 by Bishop Wilkins of England. It contained a description of physical conditions on the moon and discussed ways in which man could possibly live on the moon. The first man who wrote about a rocket as a spaceship was the noted Frenchman, Cyrano de Bergerac. In his Voyage to the Moon and History of the Republic of the Sun, he had his space travelers flying to the moon and the sun inside a rocket.

When these books were written, no one seriously thought that it would be possible to fly through space. It was not until Jules Verne, the French novelist, wrote his story From the Earth to the Moon in 1865 that any attempt was made to apply scientific principles to the space vehicle. By the time that H. G. Wells, the English author, wrote The First Men on the Moon in 1901, man was already at the beginning of a new era in the development of air travel and conquest of space.

1. Bad Experience at Early Age

2. Another Chance

3. Constant Training

4. Another point to learn before graduation

5. Make another choice

6. Taking care of people

7. Creative job hunting

8. Assess yourself

1. I’m Jason Boylan and I’ve been in the workforce for about 14 years. I was laid off from the auto sector and now I’m in the Second Career program. When I was fired, I felt like I was a little bit lost and scared to make a step in my life. I heard about the Second Career program at the assessment centre in our local community. I chose Culinary Management because there are a lot of jobs created from the culinary department. After graduating from Fleming College, I have a long term goal to either owning my own restaurant or becoming an executive chef somewhere - which has always been a dream of mine to do. The Second Career program has made it very comfortable for me to go to that next step.

2. Before you can make a career choice you have to learn about yourself. Your values, interests and skills, in combination with certain personality traits, will make some careers especially suitable for you and some particularly unsuitable. You can use career tests, to generate a list of occupations that are deemed appropriate. Some people choose to have career counselors or other career development professionals check these tests but many try to use free career tests that are available on the Web.

3. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly publishes articles in the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Each article contains information regarding the nature of the work, working conditions, employment outlook, education and training, and earnings for that occupation. A solid educational foundation is important, although, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, it is not as important as experience especially in such professions as actors. However, even actors with well established careers polish their skills in acting classes with other professionals. Dancers spend many hours in training as do musicians.

4. A survey by the TUC found that employees in small businesses are more satisfied at work. They were also found to be the most committed and loyal to their organisations. They also felt most engaged by their employer and had the most freedom to choose their working patterns. There were far fewer reports of bullying, lower stress levels and fewer complaints about long working hours. The Chairman of the Federation of Small Businesses said ‘In terms of the way they treat their staff, small businesses consistently out perform their bigger competitors. Small business owners know that the greatest asset is their staff and they are more likely to treat them as individuals and recognize their needs. By having a committed and loyal workforce the smallest business has a bigger advantage.

5. I have enjoyed learning how to sell myself, tapping into my skills, I previously was unaware, were so important to future employers. Also, developing a greater understanding of what the employers want to see and hear on a CV and during an interview has given me confidence. I feel that the relaxed nature of this course to do assignments and quizzes at your own leisure makes this module very appealing as both a learning process and personal development. I also like the idea that anyone can do it alongside their degree, even in final year when employment possibilities really are at the forefront of our minds.

6. A graduate had been trying to get into investment banking, but without success and had exhausted all the normal routes. As a last resort, he had 100 postcard-sized CVs printed. He then went round the “Square Mile” in the City, where all the main financial organizations in London are located and proceeded to place one of these CVs under the windscreen of every Rolls Royce and top of the range BMW and Mercedes he came across. Next day, he had several phone calls offering him interviews from the senior executives whom the cars belonged to. Note that we are not advocating this approach: one graduate jobseeker put up 200 poster sized CVs around Hull and ended up being fined for bill posting!

7. As you begin the journey of choosing a career, you may be surprised to discover the ill effects of negative childhood experiences coloring your decision-making process. Tragic situations during childhood, such as extreme poverty, death, and other traumatic events affect individuals at the chemical level, strongly influencing their overall health and their choices as adults. They may believe their options are limited to careers that have no prestige or that they will be stuck in the same career forever, according to the Career Development Center. Young adults who are at the effect of traumatic childhood life events may believe they are not allowed to fail and, if they do, there is no chance of succeeding in another career.

A Friend in Need

One afternoon I was sitting in the lounge of the Grand Hotel in Yokohama. Burton came into the lounge presently and caught sight of me. He seated himself in the chair next to mine. He was a merchant. A conversation began and he told me his story.

“There was a fellow here last year, who had the same name as mine; he was the best card player I ever met. Lenny Burton he called himself.”

“No, I don’t believe the name.”

“He was quite a remarkable player. I used to play with him a lot. He was in Kobe for some time.”

“It’s rather a funny story,” he said. “He was a bad fellow. I liked him. He was always well-dressed and good looking. Of course, he drank too much. Fellows like him always do. Once in a quarter he got some money from home and he made a bit more by card-playing. He won a lot of mine, I know that.”

“He came to see me in my office one day and asked me for a job. I was rather surprised. He told me that there was no more money coming from home and he wanted to work. I asked him how old he was.”

“Thirty-five,” he said.

“And what have you been doing before?” I asked him.

“Well, nothing very much,” he said.

I couldn’t help laughing.

“I’m afraid I can’t do anything for you just now,” I said. “Come back and see me in another thirty-five years, and I’ll see what I can do.”

He didn’t move. He went rather pale. Then he told me that he had bad luck at cards for some time. He didn’t have a penny. He couldn’t pay his hotel bill and they wouldn’t give him any credit.

I looked at him for a bit. I could see now That he was all to pieces. He had been drinking more than usual and he looked fifty.

“Well, isn’t there anything you can do except play cards?” I asked him.

“I can swim,” he said.

“Swim!” I could hardly believe my ears.

“I swam for my university.”

“I was a good swimmer myself when I was a young man,” I said.

Suddenly I had an idea. When I was a young man I swam round the beacon in Kobe. It’s over three miles and it’s rather difficult because of the currents round the beacon. Well, I told young Burton about it and said to him that if He’d do it I’d give him a job.

“But I’m not in very good condition,” he said.

I didn’t say anything. He looked at me for a moment and then he agreed.

“All right,” he said. “When do you want me to do it?”

I looked at my watch. It was just after ten. “The swim shouldn’t take you much over an hour and a quarter. I’ll drive over at half past twelve and meet you.”

“Done,” he said.

We shook hands. I wished him good luck and he left me. I had a lot of work to do that morning and could only get to the place at half past twelve. But he never turned up. The currents round the beacon were more then he could do. We didn’t get the body for about three days.”

I didn’t say anything for a moment or two. I was a little shocked. Then I asked Burton a question.

“When you offered him a job, did you know that he’d be drowned?”

He gave a little laugh and looked at me with those kind blue eyes of his.

“Well, I hadn’t got a vacancy in my office at the moment.”

Ruthless

Judson Webb was an American businessman. He had a comfortable flat in New York but in summer he used to leave the dusty city and go to the country. There he had a cottage which consisted of three rooms, a bathroom and a kitchen. In one of the rooms there was a big closet where he kept his guns, fishing rods, wine and other things. It was his own closet and he didn’t like anybody to touch his things.

It was autumn now and Judson was packing his things for the winter. In a few minutes he would be driving back to New York.

As he looked at the shelf on which the whiskey stood his face became serious. All the bottles were unopened except one which was less than half full. It was placed in front with a whiskey-glass by its side. As he took it from the shelf, Helen, his wife, spoke from the next room:

“I’ve packed everything. Hasn’t Alec come to get the key? ”

Alec was their neighbor and took care of the cottage.

“He’s at the lake taking the boats out of the water. He said he’d be back in half an hour.”

Helen came into the room carrying her suit-case. She stopped and looked in surprise as she saw the bottle in her husband’s hand.

“Judson,” she exclaimed. “What are you doing?”

“I am just putting something into the bottle.” He took two small white tablets out of his pocket and put them on the table. Then he opened the bottle.

“The person who broke into my closet last winter and drank my whiskey will probably try to do it again while we are away,” he went on, “only this time he’ll be sorry if he comes.”

Then one by one he dropped the tablets into the bottle. His wife looked at him in horror.

“What are they?” she asked at last. “Will they make the man sick?”

“Not only sick. They will kill him,” he answered.

He closed the bottle and put it back on the shelf near the little whiskey-glass. He was pleased. He said:

“Now, Mr. Thief, when you break in, drink as much as you wish…”

Helen’s face was pale.

“Don’t do it, Judson,” she cried. “It’s horrible, it’s murder!”

“The law does not call it murder if I shoot a thief who is entering my house by force.”

“Don’t do it,” she asked. “What right do you have?”

“When it comes to protecting my property I make my own laws.”

He was now like a big dog which was afraid that somebody would take away his food.

“But all they did was to take a little whiskey,” she said, “probably some boys.”

“It does not matter. If a man robs me of five dollars it is the same as if he took a hundred. A thief’s a thief.”

She knew it was useless to argue. He had always been ruthless in business. She went to the door.

“I’ll walk down the road and say good-bye to the neighbours,” she said quietly.

She had made up her mind to tell Alec’s wife about it. Someone had to know.

Helen went down the road and Judson started to close the closet door. He suddenly remembered that he had not packed his boots drying outside on the heavy table in the garden. So, leaving the door open, he went to get them. But when he wanted to reach for his boots he suddenly slipped on a stone and his head struck the table as he fell.

Several minutes later he felt a strong arm round him and Alec’s voice was saying: “It’s all right, Mr. Webb, it was not a bad fall. Take this – it’ll make you feel better.”

A small whiskey-glass was pressed to his lips and he drank.

1. On Monday Barack Obama will urge a bruised America to renew itself by re-winning its founding principle of opportunity equality, in the second presidential inauguration ceremony. Addressing a crowd expected to total half the 1.8 million who made a pilgrimage to Washington for his swearing-in four years ago, Mr Obama will try to set a purposeful tone for his final four years in power. “This country’s gone through some very tough times before,” he said in a video message released by the White House in advance of the ceremony. “But we always come out on the other side.” Amid terrible unemployment, he said there was “nothing that can stop America” when its people had a “fair goal” to “get a great education, get a good job, look after their kids and get some basic security”. Mr Obama will speak on Martin Luther King Day, 50 years after the civil rights leader’s rousing address at the end of his March on Washington.

2. Britain may face a flood of Romanian and Bulgarian economic migrants as in December, work permit restrictions for Romanian and Bulgarian economic migrants end, and the European Union labour market is thrown open to them. British ministers, conscious of how wrong the last government got it over Polish immigration in 2004, are refusing to reveal their projections of how many migrants may come to the UK, although one Conservative MP has estimated it to be as high as 425,000. Unexpected or not, there is a mixed opinion.

3. In the highly anticipated interview on the Oprah Winfrey Network, disgraced US cyclist Lance Armstrong admitted that he used performance-enhancing drugs to win all seven of his Tour de France titles. In the pre-recorded interview Oprah Winfrey asked the disgraced cyclist: “In your opinion was it humanly possible to win the Tour de France without doping, seven times in a row?” “Not in my opinion,” replied Armstrong. Wearing a blue blazer and open-neck shirt, Armstrong was direct and matter-of-fact. “I view this situation as one big lie that I repeated a lot of times,” said Armstrong. He escaped a few questions and refused to implicate anyone else. “I don’t want to necessarily talk about anybody else, I made my decisions, they are my mistake and I’m sitting here today to acknowledge that and to say I’m sorry for that,” he told Oprah. Either way, a story that seemed too good to be true – cancer survivor returns to win one of sport’s hardest events seven times in a row – was revealed to be just that.

4. The government of the Falklands has set a date for a referendum on the future sovereignty of the islands. On March 10, 2011 Islanders will go to vote on a simple yes or no question: “Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?” The Government of the Falkland Islands has arranged for outside observers to monitor the referendum in order to prove it is free and fair. Argentina claims British forces stole the territory from them 180 years ago and have ruled it as a colony ever since. Islanders have predicted an overwhelming vote for “yes.” The authorities in the Falklands hope the vote to send a firm message to Argentina that islanders want to remain British.

5. Doctors were battling to save the eyesight of the director of Moscow’s world famous Bolshoi Theatre following a horrific acid attack in the street outside his home. Sergei Filin was returning home from a reception to mark the 150th birthday of famed director Konstantin Stanslavsky at about 11pm on Thursday night when the attack happened. Speaking from his hospital bed on Friday, Mr Filin said he was just getting out of his car near his home when he was approached by an unknown man who shouted at him and then threw acid in his face. “I got scared and I thought he was going to shoot me,” a bandaged Mr Filin said in an interview with Russia’s REN TV. “I turned to run, but he raced ahead of me.” The 42 year-old former ballet star said his attacker was wearing a mask and scarf to cover his face.

6. Chinese PR officers have been instructed to step-up their online activities and tap into the social-media revolution to spread “positive energy” across the Internet. Beijing’s propaganda chief gave the order at a meeting on Thursday, according to a report in the Beijing News. Beijing’s “2.06 million” propaganda workers “should make more efforts in opinion guiding on hot topics”. It is said in an apparent reference to 60,000 directly employed propaganda officials and 2 million informal collaborators, likely including students and Party members. By expanding its presence on social media sites, the Communist Party would be able to “handle hot topics effectively, strengthen the online mainstream public opinion and improve the ‘ecology’ of online public opinion.” Referring to Weibo, China’s answer to Twitter, propaganda officials should: ‘Browse on Weibo, set up Weibo accounts, send Weibo messages and study Weibo.’ Beijing appeared to tighten its control over the internet by announcing new regulations that, if necessary, would require users to register their real names before using the service.

7. An amateur prospector has discovered a massive gold nugget in Australia, worth an estimated AUS $300,000 (£200,000). The man, who wants to remain anonymous, located it with a metal detector in Ballarat, in the state of Victoria. It has not been revealed exactly where the nugget, which weighs 177 ounces, was found but Ron Wheaton at Ballarat Goldfields outdoor museum says it is likely there is more gold in the region. “If you research where the gold has been in the past, yes, there’s gold to be found in Ballarat,” said Mr Wheaton. Cordell Kent, owner of The Mining Exchange Gold Shop in Ballarat, who is selling the nugget on the finder’s behalf, says it was one of the most significant in his 20 years in the business.

The Big Party

Harriet Reeves was a famous actress but her great success made her very selfish and unkind to people. On the stage she always tried to attract the attention of the public. After the performance she took no notice of her fellow actors. She always made promises but never kept them.

When she grew older she had to retire.

Harriet had a lot of money and could afford to live quite comfortably. A year later on her birthday she did not receive a single flower or a telephone call. She was so upset and lonely that she had a bad heart attack. The doctor who examined her told her frankly that her chance of living was not too good.

Harriet took the news bravely but one day she decide to give a big party and invite all theatre people with whom she worked .she was sure they would come because her parties with good food , drinks and music were always a success.

The same evening the old actress wrote invitations to the theatre people. She wanted to get them together and apologize for her behaviour in the past.

At ten o’clock Saturday night none of the guests turned up. When she realized that nobody would come to the party she felt weak and tired. ’ I can’t blame them for not coming. I myself used to break a lot of appointments,’ she said to the doctor.

In a moment the doctor heard a heavy fall. He saw Harriet Reeves lying on the floor in the bedroom lying on the floor in the bedroom. She was dead.

A few days later her servant discovered a pack of invitations that Harriet had forgotten to post in her desk.

Digging for the past

1. A group of university students from Brazil have been given the job of discovering and locating all the waterfalls in their country. It is not easy because very often the maps are not detailed. The students have to remain in water for long periods of time. Every day they cover a distance of 35 to 40 kilometers through the jungle, each carrying 40 kilos of equipment.

1. Shopping centres are full of all kinds of stores. They are like small, self-contained towns where you can find everything you want.

They can leave their cars in the shopping centre car park and buy everything in a covered complex, protected from the heat, cold or rain.

1. Not many people know that, back in the fifties, computers were very big, and also very slow.

At first, the data they had to process and record was fed in on punched-out paper; later magnetic tape was used, but both systems were completely inconvenient.

1. Potholing is a dull name for a most interesting and adventurous sport. Deep underground, on the tracks of primitive men and strange animals who have adapted to life without light, finding unusual landscapes and underground lakes, the potholer lives an exciting adventure. You mustn’t forget, though, that it can be quite dangerous. Without the proper equipment you can fall, get injured or lost.

1. Substantial remains of an octagonal Roman bath house, probably reused as a Christian baptistry, have been uncovered during a student training excavation near Faversham in Kent.

Second Career

Jeff Statham: This is my car that I’ve had for years now, made in Canada. I worked in the automotive industry for about the last 12 or 13 years, a plant in Whitby. We produced the seats for the cars built here in Oshawa. Continuous layoffs - and eventually I got hit by them - and now I’m here. I’m currently in the Second Careers program here at Durham College. I’m in the law and security administration program and my ultimate goal is to become a police officer. It’s been great. I love the program.

Ted Dionne (Instructor, Durham College): It gives someone like Jeff an opportunity to do something that he may have wanted to do. He probably had it in the back of his mind that he wanted to do something different visualizing what you want to do in the future …

John Milloy (Minister of Training, Colleges & Universities): For workers like Jeff, Second Career is ideal. We have a network of service providers throughout the province called Employment Ontario and they serve as an entry point for anyone who is looking for a job in the province. We work with them to find the best course of action.

Jeff Statham: We have two kids at home that we have to make sure get their homework done, so I’ll make sure I’ll get my homework done as well. Just being in school now I feel a hundred times better, so I’m really looking forward to whatever the future holds.
