Neither a jot inclin’d to either hand:
But place the smallest grain of weight in one,
Straight the fraternal equipoise is gone;
The loaded scale, preponderant, downward flies,
Drags down the chain, and makes it’s [sic] partner rise.

Since the launch early last year of […] two Silicon Valley start-ups offering free education through MOOCs, massive open online courses, the ivory towers of academia have been shaken to their foundations.

After some persuasion, he finally agreed.

It was a joy to snatch some brief respite, jump upon a tram, and find himself in the rectory drawing–room. Listening here was as pleasant as talking; just to watch was pleasant. The young priests who lived here wore cassocks and birettas; their faces were fine and mild, yet really strong, like the rector's face; and in their intercourse with him and his wife they seemed to be brothers.

We drove back to the office with some concern on my part at the prospect of so large a case. Sunning himself on the board steps, I saw for the first time Mr. Farquhar Fenelon Cooke.

What other natural experiments might we have to test climate sensitivity? Another one that happens every year is the change in seasons.
