He is innately intelligent, but that's actually not his most important quality. He has trained himself to observe things minutely. He said to Watson, “You see, but you do not observe.” Moreover, he studies everything he needs to do his job, especially chemistry and the crime news. He keeps scrapbooks full of valuable information. He reads the “agony columns” and the personal advertisements in the newspapers.

The premise has always been exactly the same:Goal 1: Find a mate.Goal 2: Eliminate red flags before you become emotionally involved with said prospective mate.In online dating, you see pictures, you read their stats (age, location, sex etc). You read their bio. You chat to find compatibility. You text. You talk. You meet.And boom - Relationship/marriage hookup.Or - no boom.In the past, the equivalent of online dating had all of these same structural components in place.In the immediate past, and to some degree still, it was newspaper classified. (Single male, 26, like long walks on the beach etc).And these ads would come with a special code you would call into to set up a connection with that person.In the 1970’s, there were Singles Newspapers and magazines, they are pretty cringy.Hi Kally.Now, as you descend into the early half of the 20th century, something notably changes:There are no longer pictures in any of these ads.

Because it’s not fake news.Before believing anyone on whether or not something is “fake,” (especially before believing a man whose statements are repeatedly proven to be indisputably false), check the facts yourself.On January 20, the The White House site stated “Melania is also a successful entrepreneur. In April 2010, Melania Trump launched her own jewelry collection, ‘Melania™ Timepieces & Jewelry,’ on QVC.”The update on January 23 removed mention of her brands, most likely due to the blatant illegality of using a government website to provide exposure to individual brands. Mentioning her particular brands (as well as where to buy them, nonetheless) is a form of personal advertising, which is highly illegal and unethical.It is worth mentioning that Donald Trump, Sean Spicer, and Kellyanne Connaway have consistently made statements that have no evidence.
