	Sherlock Holmes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is somewhat inconsistent with his scolding Watson for telling him about how the Earth revolved around the Sun, instead of the other way around, given that Holmes tried to avoid having his memory cluttered with information that is of no use to him in detective work.
		Typically of his time, Watson did not consider a vice Holmes' habit of smoking (usually a pipe) heavily, nor his willingness to bend the truth and break the law (e.g., lie to the police, conceal evidence, burgle and housebreak) when it suited his purposes.
		Watson, on the other hand, has a perhaps justifiable reputation as a ladies' man: he spoke favourably of some women — indeed, in virtually all the longer stories he remarks on the exceptional beauty of at least one female character — and actually married one, Mary Morstan of The Sign of Four.

	Flavius Aëtius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		But Edward Gibbon maintains that he could not have expelled them if he had wanted to, as he lacked Roman troops to do the task, and the barbarians were the only army he had to keep the peace.
		Gibbon points out in great detail how Roman citizens had lost their martial vigour, with the consequence that the only troops available to Stilicho or Aëtius were virtually all barbarians.
		John Julius Norwich strongly disagrees with Bury, as does Gibbon, William E. Watson, Sir Edward Creasy, and Poke, saying that "the entire fate of western civilization hung in the balance" in the campaigns of Attila, and that Chalons was a pivotal turning point in history.

		"How is it now?" he answered anxiously, for she was still rubbing the tousy golden curls which covered the back of her head.
		There was not one who did not sink upon his knees in heartfelt prayer when they saw the broad valley of Utah bathed in the sunlight beneath them, and learned from the lips of their leader that this was the promised land, and that these virgin acres were to be theirs for evermore.

	STUDYING THE MIND OF ANIMALS
		Watson is one of the most successful of the younger workers in this new and fascinating field.
		Watson is now in the midst of other experiments which are likely to prove not only of interest but of real importance to the psychologist and nerve specialist.
		The possibility of learning more about the mental life of animals becomes a probability when we consider that our knowledge of the mental processes of infants, children and defective individuals is obtained almost entirely without the aid of language.

		Watson achieves an impressive versatility with her pencil and watercolor artwork; her fine ink line emphasizes the starkness of the Ghetto's confines while her warmly toned watercolor wash conveys the coziness of Mira's home, spare though it may be.
		Watson shows the wartime city—with the soldiers and their dogs patrolling streets lined with elegant buildings—using warm shades of browns and golds to convey a soft glow of hope alongside tragedy.
		Watson has replaced her original crosshatched ink drawings with big, bright, clear collage-type pictures that show how animals and people sleep and what happens when they don't get their rest.

		What they learned was that each strand of the double helix could become a template for copying an organism's genes, and that replication is the way that every living cell has been created.
		Crick's work with Watson on the double helix structure, and his subsequent work firming up the foundations of molecular biology, made him a seminal scientific figure.
		Watson wrote in his 1968 book, "The Double Helix," that Crick walked into the dingy English pub where they habitually lunched and loudly announced that they had found the secret to life.

		For an encore, Mayor Kirk Watson is undertaking nothing less than the pursuit of racial reconciliation in Austin.
		After all, though he is himself a lawyer and skilled mediator, Watson could easily have let the legal system handle this complex, and politically loaded, issue.
		In praising the plaintiffs and their conduct during the negotiations, Watson said the youths gained more from the process than just an end to the Cedar Avenue ordeal: "They've learned they can be part of something bigger than themselves," Watson said.

		WATSON, by Gerald Lientz, and THE DYNAMI- TERS, by Milt Creighton, are the 4th and 5th in the series of "Sherlock Holmes Solo Mysteries" devised by Iron Crown Enterpri- ses (New York: Berkley Books, 1988; $2.95 each).
		WATSON the reader is a former member of the BSI, trying in early 1894 (without the assistance of Sherlock Holmes) to solve a murder in which the principal suspect is Dr. Watson.
		It is a two-part pastiche, with the first half presenting Watson's account of a new case in 1887, and the second offering a thoroughly revised report on the events that preceded and followed the fateful journey to the Reichenbach.

	Bone Marrow Transplant Diary
		I suddenly realise how lucky I am living only 2km from the hospital — if I was travelling in from somewhere else in the UK, worrying about what/how many clothes to take in for 6-8 wks in hospital would be another headache to deal with.
		Then I received an email from a fellow CML patient telling me how he had just had to increase his dose from 400mg to 600mg a day because he was showing signs of the Ph chromosome levels rising.
		The chance of finding a perfect tissue type match is about 1 in 20,000 and worse depending on how rare the tissue type is. It is best to be a white Anglo Saxon since the majority of donors are in the US and Europe.

		Watson, however, had already decided that the structure DNA was the question to study, even if his fellowship required him to learn biochemistry instead.
		Watson seems to have regarded Pauling's success with proteins as the very model of what he hoped to do with DNA, even to the point of composing (in his head) a line with which to open a paper describing his success.
		Here Watson describes the steady improvement in Franklin's X-ray patterns — they "were getting prettier and prettier." He also notes that Franklin had begun to conclude that the sugar phosphate chains had to be on the outside of the molecule, which turned out to be an essential element of the solution to DNA's structure.

		It is perhaps characteristic of the English temper that the revival of the classical tongues, which in Italy made for paganism, and the pursuit of pleasure in life and art, in England brought with it in the first place a new seriousness and gravity of life, and in religion the Reformation.
		On page after page the same trick is employed, often in some new and charming way, but with the inevitable effect of wearying the reader, who tries to do the unwisest of all things with a book of this kind--to read on.
		The _Advancement of Learning_ is a brilliant popular exposition of the cause of scientific enquiry and of the inductive or investigatory method of research.

	Ultimate Magic Network: Magic Library: Read Trick
		The influences for this trick are the Himber Vanish which I learned from Chris Kenners wonderful book Out of Control, The Roth curl Palm and an Open hand gesture from Gary Kurtz.
		Firstly you start off with the coin in the right hand gripped between the thumb and the side of the first finger in a similar grip to that of holding a magic wand to do a striking vanish.
		This is pretty difficult to learn, especially catching the coin cleanly every time on the little finger, but the look on peoples faces as the coin seems to vanish into thin air is well worth the effort.

	What I Learned by Teaching Real Analysis
		After all, lots of people learn and use sophisticated mathematics without ever having felt the need to delve into the foundations of the calculus.
		Turning those into formal epsilon-delta arguments is a nice party trick, and one that professional mathematicians have to know how to do, but no one should get too excited about it.
		What I mean is this: when students first start learning point set topology, they get a feeling that things can get arbitrarily pathological, that anything can be done.

		Sherlock seems convinced that he is superior to both of them, while Watson expresses his admiration of the two characters.
		Watson, on the other hand, has a perhaps justifiable reputation as a ladies' man: he spoke favorably of some women and actually married one, Mary Morstan of The Sign of Four (and another following Mary's death (1892), according to Holmes, and possibly one more according to some interpretations of the text).
		By applying such principles in an obvious way (using repeated applications of modus ponens), Holmes is able to infer from p: The sides of Watson's shoes are scored by several parallel cuts.

		Because messenger RNA serves as a template for the production of the proteins that carry out gene function, genes ultimately no longer function if the messenger RNA they code for is targeted for destruction by RNAi.
		After scientists learned that long stretches of double stranded RNA frequently trigger cell suicide instead of RNAi, Tom Tushl's group of the Max Planck Institute reasoned that using smaller double stranded RNAs-akin to those produced naturally by Dicer-should do the trick.
		The Laboratory is headed by Bruce Stillman (Director) and James D. Watson (President).
