THE CREEPING MAN


This story began when Sherlock Holmes told Cr. Watson about a new mystery that they had to solved. The exact problem that they had to investigated was Why does Professor Presbury’s dog try to bite him?

Presbury was a famous scientist, and his secretary Bennet was who visited Holmes to tell about the problem, he told that soon he will be marry with the Professor’s daughter, also that Presbury was in love with the youngest daughter of Professor Morphy, and from that time a strange change came over the Professor, he appeared to be keeping a secret.

On July 2nd the dog attacked the professor, one day Bennet saw the Professor was crawling, he was on his hands and feet, moving along with ease.
Holmes asked Dr Watson for his opinion and Watson said that may be Presbury had been upset by his love for the young woman and suddenly a young lady arrived, she was the Professor’s daughter, she told Holmes that his father had been strange and she was worried about it.

Holmes and Watson traveled to Cambrige where Professor lived, when they arrived Presbury’s house they didn’t noticed nothing unusual until the Professor became to be angry with them, so they had to left the house, but before that Holmes wanted to see the window of Miss Presbury and he saw a tree which grows up the wall, Bennett told that it was impossible to climb it and it would dangerous for a man to try.

There were more unconnected events, first the angry dog, the visit the Presbury made to a capital in central Europe and the man who crawls along passages at night, etc…
Then Holmes decided to follow the Professor with Bennett’s help, they saw how the professor suddenly change, he leaned down towards the ground and began to move along on his hands an feet, also he looked the tree which grew up the side of the house, and they watched him he suddenly began to climb it with speed and ease, he seemed to be enjoy it.

After all that Holmes checked the Professor’s mysterious box and he found a letter from Anton Dorak with an empty medicine bottle, the letter talk about two groups of monkeys and of a medicine for them (monkeys)…
With this Sherlock Holmes solved the case and his solution was that Presbury thought that taking medicine for monkeys he could be a younger man, so the dog attacked because he realized the changes and climbing up was just a game….

I like the story because it was more different than the others, because it was little strange, confusing and rare, and never made me think which could be the really problem and the solution for it, so it was really the most surprising end.

In general all the stories were great and I like to read them, they help me to learn more things not only about the language (English), also I learned about the life and many things that could be happened, obviously others were only a fantasy or difficult to be real.
I really enjoyed them!!!!

This story it was so great!!! I think that it was one of my favorites, but all the stories were more interesting in general and amazing!!!!
In particular this story had two important topics, the first one was how the love can make you do to many things although them can be bad things for example: the thing that Mr Sterndale did that was a killed a man, and the second one was the avarice, how people can killed to other person for money, in general the story was interesting and the end was very surprising and i like this kind of ends because you never know what can be happen....

WEB WORLDS

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/fivelive/drkarl/xml

This new talk about how virtual worlds can be valuable places where children rehearse what they will do in real life.
A research reveals, Web are also a "powerful and engaging" alternative to more passive pursuits such as watching TV.
The research was done with children using the BBC's Adventure Rock virtual world, aimed at those aged 6-12. Researchers use children and put them to explore the world alone but it uses message boards so children can share what they find and what they make in the various creative studios dotted around the virtual space.

The research revealed that children assumed one of eight roles when exploring a virtual world and using the tools they put at their disposal.

I think these research is interesting and impotant because these idea it could be true because children try to learned many useful social skills and played around with their identity in ways that would be much more difficult in real life...

But the most important thing in my point of view it´s that children can learn how they have to be in the real life and somethings that they will have to do in the future when they will be an adult...

CANCER VACCIN

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/medmatters/rss.xml


The report said that scientists may be one step closer to producing a specific targeted vaccine for killing cancer cells.

Researchers have pinpointed a protein on immune cells which they hope will help them harness the body's defences to attack a tumour. These protein is unique to a type of immune cell called a dendritic cell, which is responsible for triggering the body's defence system.

I think that the results of this research are an important step towards understanding how to create cancer vaccines in the future...

In my point of view it´s fantastic that scientists make this kind of researchings because if they find the cure for this illness they could help people with this problem or may be with the vaccin prevent it and avoid the death to many people.

BEAVERS TO RETURN

http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio4/nathistory/rss.xml

The Scottish Government has announced that the beaver is to be reintroduced to Scotland for the first time in more than 400 years. The beavers, which will be captured in autumn 2008, will be put into quarantine for six months before four families are released. The Government have proposed the Five lochs for the release.

The beaver was hunted to extinction in that country many years ago, and for this reason i think those species will be making a comeback it's great!!!!
In my opinion these animals are beautifull,charismaticand resourceful and above all this they are more important for our ecosystems.

They can also have positive ecological benefits, such as creating and maintaining a habitat hospitable to other species.
The challenge was now for the licence holders to raise funds for the project, but i hope they can find a solution...

“THE FINAL PROBLEM”

The story try about the most dangerous criminal in London…

The story began when Dr Watson decided to tell the truth about what really happened between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty that was a big criminal.
One day Mr. Holmes visited Dr Watson and told him if he wants to come whit him to anywhere, it was a little strange for Watson, because Holmes had never taken a holydays, so Holmes has to explain his reasons to him. He took about Moriarty, he said that Moriarty is a dangerous criminal, he’s the evil prince of crime, he has many agents, sometimes the agent is caught but never the controlling mind “The Professor Moriarty” and he’s anywhere in London, and for this reason Holmes can’t rest, so when he can set London free of Moriarty, his life’s work is done, because he has investigated over a thousand cases and has always been on the side of good, so his work will end with the arrest or death of the most dangerous criminal in Europe.
Sherlock Holmes told Watson that Moriarty and his group of agents will be arrest by the police, and unfortunately Moriarty knows about this and for this reason Holmes was in danger.
Some day Holmes and Moriarty had a meeting and in this conversation Moriarty told Holmes that he mustn’t destroy his plans and if he do it, Moriarty will be force to act, after this meeting Holmes had many attacks from Moriarty.
In the story Watson said that one day He was walking with Holmes and a boy ran up to him with a letter from a woman that wanted to see an English doctor, so he went and left Holmes alone, and he planned to meet with Holmes at one place, but it was the last time that he ever saw Holmes. He only found a piece of paper addressed to him, the paper was from Holmes.
Holmes explain all the things about Moriarty in the piece of paper, and with this, Watson will say the police all the necessary of the Moriarty group. When the police made a examination they noticed that the two men fought and fell together into the waterfall. So the most dangerous criminal and the best detective will remain for all time….

I think that this story was the best, because it was more interesting and amazing, some times I was stressed and exiting for to know what will happen with Holmes.
In few words the story was in pending all the time, well this is in my opinion, and I like that the author made us think that Homes was died and in the reality not, he continues with his cases and his life….
