Fascinating case of Holmes and the Arctic adventure: Conan Doyle's lost diary reveals origins of super-sleuth By Valerie Elliott Published: 23:46 GMT, 4 August 2012 | Updated: 16:02 GMT, 5 August 2012 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's lost diary reveals the origins of Sherlock Holmes Think of Sherlock Holmes and most people conjure up images of foggy London streets or smoke-filled drawing rooms rather than the frozen desolation of the Arctic. Yet a diary to be published for the first time next month suggests the seeds of the sleuth’s character may have been born while a young Arthur Conan Doyle was involved in an adventure on the icy seas. The author, then a 20-year-old medical student, was hired in early 1880 as a ship’s surgeon on the Greenland whaler the Hope Of Peterhead and kept daily records of life at sea. Called Dangerous Work: Diary Of An Arctic Adventure, the resulting manuscripts are his earliest known work and have been hidden from the public for more than a century. Lost and found: One of the annotated drawings in the Arctic diary His final entry for the day is ‘gin and tobacco at night’.
Correcteur grammatical INICIO The Literary Darwinists: The Evolutionary Origins of Storytelling | Moments of Genius The summer of 1975 was a rough time for beachgoers at Amity Island. Citizens of the Long Island getaway became terrorized when a shark devoured a young woman and two young boys in the span of a few days. Luckily, three brave men – Brody, Quint and Hooper – traveled out to sea in a small boat, killed the sea monster, returned safely and restored peace to the town. Fortunately, the only real harm Spielberg’s Jaws inflicted was on future American moviegoers. Jaws was a groundbreaking film in some respects, but the plot was nothing new. The British journalist Christopher Booker parallels these two tales in a recent book to argue that all stories are built off of seven basic plot templates. Given the ubiquity and pleasure of stories, as well as the important role they play in human societies, it’s not surprising that literary scholars and evolutionary psychologists are beginning to critically examine literature with a Darwinian lens. First, stories are time-savers. Wyoming_Jackrabbit/Flickr
es.babbel Matthew Youlden habla nueve idiomas fluidamente y entiende casi una docena más. Trabajamos en la misma oficina en Berlín, así que le oigo usar sus habilidades constantemente, cambiando de idioma cual camaleón cambiando de color. En realidad, durante mucho tiempo ni siquiera llegué a sospechar que era británico. Cuando le comenté a Matthew que me estaba costando muchísimo esfuerzo llegar a comprender tan solo un segundo idioma, se descolgó con los siguientes consejos. Si eres de los que piensa que nunca llegarás a ser bilingüe, ¡más te vale tomar nota! 1. Puede parecer obvio, pero si no tienes un buen motivo para aprender otro idioma, es muy probable que, a la larga, se te acabe la motivación. "Vale, quiero aprender esto, y por eso voy a hacer todo lo que pueda en este idioma, con este idioma y por este idioma." 2. Ya te has hecho la promesa, te has comprometido. Recuerda que el mayor beneficio de hablar otro idioma es poder comunicarte con otros. 3. "Creo que es un enfoque fantástico. 4.
Famous quotes, Folklore, Cenacle Video Lesson: Mr. Bean Follow me on twitter This is a video lesson based around the video “Mr. Bean packs his suitcase” thanks to British Council for bringing it to my attention in their lesson plan on making predictions but I’ve adapted it for use in different ways with different levels. Kids and lower levels The aim of this lesson plan is to practice holiday vocabulary (clothes and items that go in a suitcase) and some basic grammar structure. Project a picture of a suitcase on to the board (or draw one) and ask “What do you put in your suitcase when you go on holiday?” toothbrushtoothpasteswimming shorts/trunkstowelunderpantscan of baked beanscloth/flannelsoapbooksuitcasetrousersshortsshoesteddy bearscissors You could also use this quizlet set to go over clothes vocabulary. If children are old enough to write, put them in pairs and hand out post-it-notes and a pencil to each pair. Mr. in his suitcase. Then stick all the post-its on the board and show the video. Higher levels – video dictations Objects: Verbs:
This is a low « dogmatika [version] Ashy Pet. An Irish phrase originally applied to anyone who back in the peasant days hogged the fireside, refusing to brave the omnipresent rain outside to undertake the necessary spud-hunting, wake-attending, poitin-brewing or whatever it was they did in those days. Gradually, the saying became applied to a particular type of child, the type who didn’t go out with the other children on healthy outdoor pursuits like climbing trees, setting things on fire and tormenting the neighbourhood mentalist, the sort who instead stayed indoors, developed an unhealthy pallor and hung around with their mothers instead of having friends. The only English language broadcast that intrigued as much as these was the BBC’s Shipping Forecast which remains to this day a thing of great mystery and beauty. What is it that gives what’s essentially a glorified weather report a seeming magic? Firstly, it’s the tone. Three times I suspected I would die here.
