Dear Edgar Martin Student: Fill & Download for Free

If you are looking for a cup that was drunk from at the last supper by Jesus Christ a person would be a fool to tell you its location if he knew unless of course it was safely tucked away in some highly secure facility.It is simply too highly sought after a prize. But keep in mind it is a prize whose bonafides ultimately can never be proven unless Jesus can positively ID it. Probably for a man so concerned with others welfare such possessions were trivial - not the foremost thing on his mind.And there’s the fact the romantic stories of the Holy Grail emerged in the Middle Ages.Imagine Jesus has returned and the owner of his cup comes forth and says, “Dear Savior, I want to return to your hands the cup you drunk from at the Last Supper.”One of three results could happen. 1.) He could recall it is not the cup from which he drunk. 2.) He might not be able to recall if it is the cup from which he drunk and finally the best result 3.) He could recall it indeed is the cup from which he drunk. Happy Days!The very nature of his character suggests the odds (to one) that he placed such an enormous significance on the cup to the extent he could recall a unique feature of it would be so long as to require their measure in light years.As a child I used to roam the beautiful estate of a British Knight’s American wife.His name was Sir Edmund Vivian Gabriel. He was with General Allenby when England began administrative duties in Palestine. They famously dismounted their horses and walked through Jerusalem in a show of humility. Sir Gabriel later assumed the duties of administrator of Palestine. Over the course of his career he acquired art and artifacts which he gifted to an Italian museum.If the chance to acquire the Holy Grail had presented itself, a discriminating collector like Sir Gabriel would no doubt have questioned its authenticity.As children, my brother and I were exploring and came across a dusty hatch in the estate barn revealing a basement underneath. We came across some dusty but otherwise pristine antique cars - classy, super elegant. We saw other stuff, too but did not remove anything. It was adventure enough to have dared lift the hatch and find the mysterious room and its hidden treasure.Sir Edmund Vivian Gabriel had died many years prior in the 1950s leaving his American wife their country estate Random Farm in Westchester County north of New York City. The estate's manager and horseman was my grandmother’s second husband, Hugh Kelly, who through his endearing personality passed along a sense of adventure, wisdom, and good humor to his son Joe, a student leader and antiwar activist at Cornell University.Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1964 amid FBI investigations of anti-war activists like Dr. Martin Luther King and Joe Kelly.Two famous trials against the anti-war activists occurred in Seattle and Chicago. Joe Kelly was among those who stood trial. After a sensational trial full of outbursts the case was in the end declared a mistrial. A key witness to the prosecution buckled during cross-examination and admitted he hated the activists so much he would lie to put them in prison.Joe left a nice bug collection in his old room at Random Farm, a legacy of his student days at Cornell. I frequently visited there as my grandmother married his father Hugh after his first wife (Joe's mother) passed away of cancer.Even prior to meeting Hugh, my grandmother was a long-time activist for peace and good humor while living in Houston. She was not only a stage actor in the Rice Players but she enjoyed acting as a force for good on the stage called Life.She became the recipient of death threats after judging a costume contest for Rice architecture students. She had awarded a creativity prize to two students who were paired for the event; one was dressed as a pregnant nun and the other a priest. Whether or not it was the first ever such costume is not yet clear but it certainly was a novel and eye-opener of a costume at the time.On April 4th 1968 Dr. Martin Luther King was shot at the Lorraine hotel in Memphis, Tennessee.From Wikipedia:King received frequent death threats due to his prominence in the Civil Rights Movement. He had confronted the risk of death and made that recognition part of his philosophy. He taught that murder could not stop the struggle for equal rights. After the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963, King told his wife Coretta, "This is what is going to happen to me also. I keep telling you, this is a sick society."It is disconcerting we have not made more progress; we have seen violence on a daily basis and with no end in sight. We have seen gamblers targeting concertgoers. We have seen students targeting schools and teachers. We have seen terrorists targeting workplaces and nightclubs. We have seen a couple recently drive their children and themselves off a cliff in order to avoid facing questions.Martin Luther King had a dream. It was a dream of nonviolence and progress.As a Texan and an American, we, Black and White, Asian and Hispanic - we once entertained a dream that we would build a supercollider and with any luck we would redefine the quantum landscape. It was not to be. Switzerland would eventually complete a 17-mile collider one-third the planned size of the Texas collider. With the discovery of the Higgs-Boson they laid claim to finding ‘the God particle.’The Failed $2 Billion Supercollider Project in the Texas DesertIn the 80's it was the talk of the town - the supercollider was coming to Texas! The project’s undoing dashed the hopes of many budding physicists. It left a Texas-sized vacuum in our expectations which resulted in a determination to seek alternate ways of uncovering quantum mysteries, ways that might require the ability to see things in a radically different perspective than one was used to.I had a glimpse of this perspective as a young student when confronted with the inadequacy of the Cartesian co-ordinate model by itself to model the realities I observed not only in Chemistry and Biology class but in a world full of music, war, adventure, heartbreak, and regeneration.I volunteered to go to Japan. I was my own research group but I never stepped foot into a traditional research lab; I immersed myself in the language and culture and studied martial arts. On my honeymoon I found a stone monument from Japan at the Alamo and founded a school of the same name. We had a well-known physicist in Paul Chu at UH but the results we longed for required a different approach.The search for the Spiral of Life was subconscious; part of it was following clues, and part of it was born from a need to recover from the sense of loss that had gripped many Americans particularly in Texas. The collapse of the project sent us searching for life’s quantum mysteries in the most unusual places - from exotic lands of the Far East to the deepest recesses of our memory. Make no mistake. The impetus behind building a supercollider as in finding the Holy Grail is to unlock secrets.The experience of the British in Palestine hinted at the practical advantage of taking the path of least resistance through demonstrations of humility.The Spiral of Life as an expression of the principle of least action is in no small way but one fruition of the dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King and the bug-collector whose room I stayed in, the young man who was singled out by J. Edgar Hoover, the uncle I’ve never met - Joe Kelly.Is the Holy Grail real? And where does it exist right now?It’s as real as the orbit upon which existence itself depends.Prince Blake's answer to Has the Holy Grail been found, as claimed?

Firstly thanks for A2A.I would like add to the already existing answers few of my favourite holmesian deductions.1. The deductions made from the walking stick of the Doctor Mortimer The Hound of the BaskervillesThis is my favourite Holmes book and this brilliant piece in the first chapter itself gets you hooked to the book right away."I am afraid, my dear Watson, that most of your conclusions wereerroneous. When I said that you stimulated me I meant, to befrank, that in noting your fallacies I was occasionally guidedtowards the truth. Not that you are entirely wrong in thisinstance. The man is certainly a country practitioner. And hewalks a good deal.""Then I was right.""To that extent.""But that was all.""No, no, my dear Watson, not all--by no means all. I wouldsuggest, for example, that a presentation to a doctor is morelikely to come from a hospital than from a hunt, and that whenthe initials 'C.C.' are placed before that hospital the words'Charing Cross' very naturally suggest themselves.""You may be right.""The probability lies in that direction. And if we take this as aworking hypothesis we have a fresh basis from which to start ourconstruction of this unknown visitor.""Well, then, supposing that 'C.C.H.' does stand for 'CharingCross Hospital,' what further inferences may we draw?""Do none suggest themselves? You know my methods. Apply them!""I can only think of the obvious conclusion that the man haspractised in town before going to the country.""I think that we might venture a little farther than this. Lookat it in this light. On what occasion would it be most probablethat such a presentation would be made? When would his friendsunite to give him a pledge of their good will? Obviously at themoment when Dr. Mortimer withdrew from the service of thehospital in order to start in practice for himself. We know therehas been a presentation. We believe there has been a change froma town hospital to a country practice. Is it, then, stretchingour inference too far to say that the presentation was on theoccasion of the change?""It certainly seems probable.""Now, you will observe that he could not have been on the staffof the hospital, since only a man well-established in a Londonpractice could hold such a position, and such a one would notdrift into the country. What was he, then? If he was in thehospital and yet not on the staff he could only have been ahouse-surgeon or a house-physician--little more than a seniorstudent. And he left five years ago--the date is on the stick. Soyour grave, middle-aged family practitioner vanishes into thinair, my dear Watson, and there emerges a young fellow underthirty, amiable, unambitious, absent-minded, and the possessor ofa favourite dog, which I should describe roughly as being largerthan a terrier and smaller than a mastiff."I laughed incredulously as Sherlock Holmes leaned back in hissettee and blew little wavering rings of smoke up to the ceiling."As to the latter part, I have no means of checking you," said I,"but at least it is not difficult to find out a few particularsabout the man's age and professional career." From my smallmedical shelf I took down the Medical Directory and turned up thename. There were several Mortimers, but only one who could be ourvisitor. I read his record aloud."Mortimer, James, M.R.C.S., 1882, Grimpen, Dartmoor,Devon. House-surgeon, from 1882 to 1884, at Charing CrossHospital. Winner of the Jackson prize for Comparative Pathology,with essay entitled 'Is Disease a Reversion?' Correspondingmember of the Swedish Pathological Society. Author of 'SomeFreaks of Atavism' (Lancet 1882). 'Do We Progress?' (Journal ofPsychology, March, 1883). Medical Officer for the parishes ofGrimpen, Thorsley, and High Barrow.""No mention of that local hunt, Watson," said Holmes with amischievous smile, "but a country doctor, as you very astutelyobserved. I think that I am fairly justified in my inferences. Asto the adjectives, I said, if I remember right, amiable,unambitious, and absent-minded. It is my experience that it isonly an amiable man in this world who receives testimonials, onlyan unambitious one who abandons a London career for the country,and only an absent-minded one who leaves his stick and not hisvisiting-card after waiting an hour in your room.""And the dog?""Has been in the habit of carrying this stick behind his master.Being a heavy stick the dog has held it tightly by the middle,and the marks of his teeth are very plainly visible. The dog'sjaw, as shown in the space between these marks, is too broad inmy opinion for a terrier and not broad enough for a mastiff.2. The Curious Incident of Dog in the Night as some one previously mentioned in another answer3. Another interesting deduction is the one in which he breaks into Watson's thoughts.This account wont be complete without mentioning Holmes's opinion of other fictional detectives and their method."You remind me of Edgar Allan Poe's Dupin. I had no idea that such individuals did exist outside of stories."Sherlock Holmes rose and lit his pipe. "No doubt you think that you are complimenting me in comparing me to Dupin," he observed. "Now, in my opinion, Dupin was a very inferior fellow. That trick of his of breaking in on his friends' thoughts with an apropos remark after a quarter of an hour's silence is really very showy and superficial. He had some analytical genius, no doubt; but he was by no means such a phenomenon as Poe appeared to imagine.""Have you read Gaboriau's works?" I asked."Does Lecoq come up to your idea of a detective?" Sherlock Holmes sniffed sardonically. "Lecoq was a miserable bungler," he said, in an angry voice; "he had only one thing to recommend him, and that was his energy. That book made me positively ill. The question was how to identify an unknown prisoner. I could have done it in twenty-four hours. Lecoq took six months or so. It might be made a textbook for detectives to teach them what to avoid."Though he later pulls some thing very similar to Dupin in The Adventure of the Resident Patient as Walter Kiceleff has mentioned in his answer.4. Not sure if it can be considered as a deduction but t decoding of the dancing men code in The Adventure of the Dancing Men also is very well done."I have here in front of me these singular productions, at which one might smile, had they not proved themselves to be the forerunners of so terrible a tragedy. I am fairly familiar with all forms of secret writings, and am myself the author of a trifling monograph upon the subject, in which I analyze one hundred and sixty separate ciphers, but I confess that this is entirely new to me. The object of those who invented the system has apparently been to conceal that these characters convey a message, and to give the idea that they are the mere random sketches of children."Having once recognized, however, that the symbols stood for letters, and having applied the rules which guide us in all forms of secret writings, the solution was easy enough. The first message submitted to me was so short that it was impossible for me to do more than to say, with some confidence, that the symbol XXX stood for E. As you are aware, E is the most common letter in the English alphabet, and it predominates to so marked an extent that even in a short sentence one would expect to find it most often. Out of fifteen symbols in the first message, four were the same, so it was reasonable to set this down as E. It is true that in some cases the figure was bearing a flag, and in some cases not, but it was probable, from the way in which the flags were distributed, that they were used to break the sentence up into words. I accepted this as a hypothesis, and noted that E was represented by XXX."But now came the real difficulty of the inquiry. The order of the English letters after E is by no means well marked, and any preponderance which may be shown in an average of a printed sheet may be reversed in a single short sentence. Speaking roughly, T, A, O, I, N, S, H, R, D, and L are the numerical order in which letters occur, but T, A, O, and I are very nearly abreast of each other, and it would be an endless task to try each combination until a meaning was arrived at. I therefore waited for fresh material. In my second interview with Mr. Hilton Cubitt he was able to give me two other short sentences and one message, which appeared—since there was no flag—to be a single word. Here are the symbols. Now, in the single word I have already got the two E's coming second and fourth in a word of five letters. It might be 'sever,' or 'lever,' or 'never.' There can be no question that the latter as a reply to an appeal is far the most probable, and the circumstances pointed to its being a reply written by the lady. Accepting it as correct, we are now able to say that the symbols stand respectively for N, V, and R."Even now I was in considerable difficulty, but a happy thought put me in possession of several other letters. It occurred to me that if these appeals came, as I expected, from someone who had been intimate with the lady in her early life, a combination which contained two E's with three letters between might very well stand for the name 'ELSIE.' On examination I found that such a combination formed the termination of the message which was three times repeated. It was certainly some appeal to 'Elsie.' In this way I had got my L, S, and I. But what appeal could it be? There were only four letters in the word which preceded 'Elsie,' and it ended in E. Surely the word must be 'COME.' I tried all other four letters ending in E, but could find none to fit the case. So now I was in possession of C, O, and M, and I was in a position to attack the first message once more, dividing it into words and putting dots for each symbol which was still unknown. So treated, it worked out in this fashion:.M .ERE ..E SL.NE."Now the first letter CAN only be A, which is a most useful discovery, since it occurs no fewer than three times in this short sentence, and the H is also apparent in the second word. Now it becomes:AM HERE A.E SLANE.Or, filling in the obvious vacancies in the name:AM HERE ABE SLANEY.I had so many letters now that I could proceed with considerable confidence to the second message, which worked out in this fashion:A. ELRI. ES.Here I could only make sense by putting T and G for the missing letters, and supposing that the name was that of some house or inn at which the writer was staying."Inspector Martin and I had listened with the utmost interest to the full and clear account of how my friend had produced results which had led to so complete a command over our difficulties."What did you do then, sir?" asked the inspector.Full text at Page on GutenbergOn a side note this again is very similar to Poe's The Gold-Bug. But is still worth mentioning5. would leave this funny anecdote as the last one (obviously a made up one)*Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the sky, and tell me what you see." Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars." Holmes said: "And what do you deduce from that?" Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like Earth out there. And if there are a few planets like Earth out there, there might also be life." And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent."*World's funniest joke
