Right before his father died, he told his twin brother, Bartholomew, to give Mrs. Morstan her share of the treasure. Major Sholto was about to tell his sons about the treasure but the man with the wooden leg appeared and Major Sholto died of instant fear. The twin sons of the late Major Sholto had conflicts of dividing the treasure, and Bartholomew, who found the treasure, faced a horrible death. The two brothers made every effort to find the treasure after their father’s sudden death but weren’t successful. However, before Major Sholto’s death, Major Sholto had removed a chaplet to send to Ms. Morstan. Thaddeus proposed sending it to Ms. Morstan but Bartholomew disagreed so Thaddeus gave Ms. Morstan one pearl every year. Bartholomew found the treasure so Thaddeus contacted Ms. Mortan so they could go together to claim their shares. When they arrived late at Pondicherry Lodge, they discovered that Bartholomew was dead with a poisoned thorn darted in his skin. The box of treasure had been stolen and the note saying “the sign of four”. Holmes decided after examining that there were two people in the room, one with small feet and one with a wooden leg. He immediately got a dog to trace these people which led the men to the water which was where the men took a steam launch named the Aurora. Jonathon Small revealed the secret of the Sign of

Antagonistic Pairs are a pair of muscles working together to allow coordinated movement of the skeletal joints. Muscles can only exert a force and do work by contracting. An example is the antagonistic pair of muscles used in bending and straightening the arm. To bend the arm requires the biceps to contract, while the triceps relax. If the arm is to be straightened, the reverse happens. The individual components of antagonistic pairs can be classified into extensors and

In Simon Young’s essay “Universities, Governments and Industry: Can the Essential Nature of Universities Survive the Drive to Commercialize?” Young implies many universities increase their focus on commercializing rather than focusing to increase a higher branch of learning for university students. Throughout the essay Young voices his concern for this issue through the use of statistics, concrete facts, research and by acknowledging the issue Young is able to inform his readers about the increase rate of commercialization from universities which he believes is a universities purpose. Young notes 40 years of his life were spent at Universities and this allows the gain of credibility. Young’s audience are members of psychiatry and

As a trainer, teacher and assessor my roles are many and varied. As part of my day to day work I may not only deliver lessons but also carry out theory assessments, practical assessments and sometimes interviews. I may have to motivate and liaise as well as guide and assess. I will have to keep records and be a subject specialist as well as liaise internally and impart information and advice sometimes on a personal level.

Why did Americans need the immigration reform build in the first place? Mexican immigrants have been coming to the United States throughout this country through history, but it was a guest worker program that started after World War II that set a stage for patterns for legal immigration we still see today. From 1942 to 1964, the “Bracero Program”, a guest worker program that brought 400,000 agricultural employers per year to the United States. This program had issues such as worker abuse and low wage, so it ended in 1964. But the worker kept coming. In the early of 1970s, there were more than 1 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Still, most Americans did not have strong opinions about immigration policy the way we do today. There were lots of groups had interests to see the system change. President Ronald Reagan supported changing the laws, too, and he was a republican. He said “I believe the idea of amnesty”. After a year in fall, the bill finally gained the legitimate moment in 1986 which was Immigration Reform and Control Act(IRCA). It talked two of biggest issues at the time. The first one, it offered legal status for undocumented immigrants who had been living the United States since before January 1, 1982, and the second one, it penalized the employer who knowingly hired undocumented workers. The bill finally cleared in the house senator, and signed by President Ronald Reagan on November 6, 1986. The Immigration Reform and Control Act(IRCA) was the
Due to Holmes’ suspicion he and Watson desired to investigate further; they departed to Stoke Moran. They revealed some interesting clues. First of all, the bed was clamped to the floor, there were metallic bars on the windows, along with a forged bell chord attached to a ventilator. Holmes soon found out that the ventilator was connected to Dr. Roylott 's room. This made Sherlock curious, wanting to know more. Helen was a young woman who was frightened of the strong and abusive, Dr. Roylott. She had prearranged to switch places with Sherlock and Watson so they could resolve the case once and for all. She exchanged places after Dr. Roylott was “asleep”. When Sherlock and Holmes arrived to Stoke Moran, they waited and waited. During the middle of the story, both the mood and tone shift. The mood soon became petrified. The tone soon also became something else, challenging. Sherlock Holmes and
The Article the end from the beginning re (de)finding Aboriginality written by Michael Dodson explores the notions on how Aboriginal people have been represented and perceived by the early settlers. Michael Dodson makes a critique on the language from previous historians. They Mention in the beginning that the Aboriginal people were seen as Noble savages from the prehistoric beasts, blood thirsty, cunning ferocious” that they even fell in the classification of blood types which gives an idea of an animal like classification, scientific based and based purely on Age and descent. ( Dodson, 2003: 19-20). Michael Dodson Argues the question as to how can the colonisers understand all the aspects of the indigenous people if they
The 1920s is notorious for being a good time, with its reputation of being full of fun parties and extravagant living. Those wealthy enough were able to enjoy that along with all the other changes in American culture. In the 1920s the use of installment buying, credit, and stock market investments became a typical part of life. Technology that improved home life, like vacuums and radio, were desired, and these shifts in culture added to the stigma that good times would continue forever. The American people were not aware that common habits in the 1920s would lead to the Great Depression in the 1930s, during which unemployment reached over 25%, the economy struggled, and the fun times ended. The Great Depression was caused by experts that encouraged

Four Seaons were the first condom manufacturer in the world to release a coloured, dotted condom, and also the first to produce a condom that adjusts to the pH inside a vagina. Constant innovation within the company led to the release of the thinnest condom ever, Four Seasons Naked 0.02, only 0.02 mm thickness. In 1997, Four Seasons developed a breakthrough condom made from special polyurethane material; a form of plastic which is thinner, twice as strong as latex and is not damaged by oil-based lubricants. The condom was an outcome of over 25 years of material research Four Seasons, 2013).
From reading both ‘The Four Agreements’ by Don Miguel Ruiz and ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ by Viktor Frankl I have a better sense of relationships. After reading ‘Man’s Search for Meaning’ I have a better insight of how important relationships are in your life. It is also important to have positive relationships in your life. If you are surrounded by negative relationships then it has a negative effect on your life. In this book it shows the effects of positive and negative relationship and the different effects they have. Frankl was surrounded by people who had a negative outlook on life due to the circumstances they lived in. However he wrote about how once you give in to the negative your life changes drastically.
