The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his fictional detective Sherlock Holmes. It was first published on 14 October 1892, though the individual stories had been serialised in The Strand Magazine between June 1891 and July 1892. The stories are not in chronological order, and the only characters common to all twelve are Holmes and Dr. Watson. As with all but four of the Sherlock Holmes stories, those contained within The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are told by a first-person narrative from the point of view of Dr. Watson.
In general the stories in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. Holmes is portrayed as offering a new, fairer sense of justice. The stories were well received, and boosted the subscriptions figures of The Strand Magazine, prompting Doyle to be able to demand more money for his next set of stories. The first story, "A Scandal in Bohemia", includes the character of Irene Adler, who, despite being featured only within this one story by Doyle, is a prominent character in modern Sherlock Holmes adaptations, generally as a love interest for Holmes. Doyle included four of the twelve stories from this collection in his twelve favourite Sherlock Holmes stories, picking "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" as his overall favourite.
All of the stories within The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes are told in a first-person narrative from the point of view of Dr. Watson, as is the case for all but four of the Sherlock Holmes stories.The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry for Doyle suggests that the short stories contained in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes tend to point out social injustices, such as "a king's betrayal of an opera singer, a stepfather's deception of his ward as a fictitious lover, an aristocratic crook's exploitation of a failing pawnbroker, a beggar's extensive estate in Kent." It suggests that, in contrast, Holmes is portrayed as offering a fresh and fair approach in an unjust world of "official incompetence and aristocratic privilege".The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes contains many of Doyle's favourite Sherlock Holmes stories. In 1927, he submitted a list of what he believed were his twelve best Sherlock Holmes stories to The Strand Magazine. Among those he listed were "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" (as his favourite), "The Red-Headed League" (second), "A Scandal in Bohemia" (fifth) and "The Five Orange Pips" (seventh). The book was banned in the Soviet Union in 1929 because of its alleged "occultism",but the book gained popularity in a black market of similarly banned books, and the restriction was lifted in 1940.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Level 5. 2300 headwords. Upper- Intermediate.
Author: Sr Arthur Conan Doyle
Written in: 1901
Author Biography
Conan Doyle was born in 1859 in Edinburgh, Ireland. He had 9 brothers
and sisters but he hadn’t too much contact with them because it was sent to a
Catholic church in northern England.
He studied medicine and in 1885 and married his first wife, who died in
1906. A year after his wife’s death, he married Jean Leckie. Conan Doyle had
five children, two with his first wife and three with his second.
In 1981 he moved to London where he was a medical eye doctor until
that moment and at this time he decided to spend all his time as a writer and
began to develop the successful adventures of Holmes Shelock. Finally died in
1930 at the age of 71.
This novel marks the return of Sherlock after being defeated by its main
enemy, Moriarty.Conan wanted rid of this character for years, but in the end the
audience was eager to return him, and Conan Doyle revived him for this novel
with great succesful.
I’ve decided to summarize the last chapter of the book because it
summarizes the whole book.
2. Summary of chapter 15
This chapter narrates the history of Sherlock Holmes investigating a new
crime.
The action takes place in Dartmoor, an English town, where the family
Baskerville has lived in their Hall for many generations.
One day is found in it a death member of that family , called Sr Charles
Baskerville, and Sherlock Holmes, begins to investigate it, while the nephew of
him , called Sr Henry Baskerville, is installed in that Hall.
Over the family Baskerville weighs a cruel curse of deaths generation
after generation and is a legend that deals with the Hound of the family,
an animal that has haunted this family from the outset and that has caused
these terrible deaths.
At the end of the story, Sherlock researchs discovers that a neighbor of
this family called Stapleton, is the owner of a gigantic hound used to attack the
Baskervilles’s family members.
With Sr Charles’s death is lucky and manages to kill him without being
discovered the hound, but with the murder of Henry Baskerville ends up being
discovered by Sherlock Holmes.
Finally Holmes discovers that Stapleton wanted to own the home and
heritage of the Baskervilles because this neighbor at the end turns out to be the
son of Mr Charles's younger brother, called Rodger. All the family members
thought that Rodger Baskerville was not married and had no children.
Stapleton was really a Baskerville.
3. Blurbs
A really exciting novel, keeps you until the end of the story in suspense
and the plot makes you live like you're next to Sherlock and Watson in
Dartmoor. Conan Doyle always surprises me.
Chapter by chapter you know what will happen. Sherlock is an old-
fashioned detective who needs a change by Conan Doyle. The adventures
have lost the spark they had in the beginning.
Magnificient Conan Doyle. He has returned to life at the best way he
knew to Mr Sherlock, with one of the most interesting arguments ever
written.The fans missed him a lot and we needed it after all these years. Thank
you for return us this wonderful detective.
