Will Pearson
William E. Pearsonis the co-founder of mental floss, a bi-monthly magazine, which he started with Mangesh Hattikudur when both were students at Duke University. Pearson graduated from Duke in 2001, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. Describing himself, Pearson noted his penchant for eating two M&M's at the same time, on different sides of the mouth, "making both sides of the mouth equally happy". Will Pearson and Mangesh Hattikudur met as freshmen at Duke University and in their...
assuming earn higher million per percent rate saves time total
If he saves a total of $15,000 per year, assuming an 8 percent rate of return, he should have more than $1 million by the time he's 65, or even more if he can earn a higher rate of return.
best confidence definitely final
If everyone does their best and we come out with a win, we're definitely going to have that much more confidence going into the final tournament.
pick
If I had to pick two, it would probably be them.
free job kicks lose plays preparing rely soccer team type
If I had done my job better of preparing these guys, we would have done better. But (Freedom's) soccer, well, wasn't really soccer. They had to rely on free kicks and throw-ins. And for us to lose to a team that plays that type of soccer is very disappointing.
absolutely bits brian charge good man national thrilled time
Good things take time and I'm just absolutely thrilled to bits to have an outstanding young man like Brian in charge of our national team.

I'd quite like to try all sorts of different things, whether it be theatre, TV or film.
euro grand longer medium positive prove
I don't think (the grand coalition) is going to prove that positive for the euro over the short, medium or longer run,
encouragement hard-work goes-on
Medals are great encouragement to young men and lead them to feel their work is of value, I remember how keenly I felt this when in the 1890s. I received the Darwin Medal and the Huxley Medal. When one is old, one wants no encouragement and one goes on with one's work to the extent of one's power, because it has become habitual.
men hands use
"Endow scientific research and we shall know the truth, when and where it is possible to ascertain it;" but the counterblast is at hand: "To endow research is merely to encourage the research for endowment; the true man of science will not be held back by poverty, and if science is of use to us, it will pay for itself." Such are but a few samples of the conflict of opinion which we find raging around us.
doe demand scientific-method
If I have put the case of science at all correctly, the reader will have recognised that modern science does much more than demand that it shall be left in undisturbed possession of what the theologian and metaphysician please to term its 'legitimate field'. It claims that the whole range of phenomena, mental as well as physical-the entire universe-is its field. It asserts that the scientific method is the sole gateway to the whole region of knowledge.
independent science men
The classification of facts and the formation of absolute judgments upon the basis of this classification-judgments independent of the idiosyncrasies of the individual mind-essentially sum up the aim and method of modern science. The scientific man has above all things to strive at self-elimination in his judgments, to provide an argument which is as true for each individual mind as for his own.
class supposing-that mind
The scientific method of examining facts is not peculiar to one class of phenomena and to one class of workers; it is applicable to social as well as to physical problems, and we must carefully guard ourselves against supposing that the scientific frame of mind is a peculiarity of the professional scientist.
hands achievement rude
It is the old experience that a rude instrument in the hand of a master craftsman will achieve more than the finest tool wielded by the uninspired journeyman.
science unity method
The unity of all science consists alone in its method, not in its material.
