I would recommend any one interested in Physics to go through the Richard Feynman’s Lecture series from 1967 which are now made available for free by Bill Gates @ Microsoft Research – Project Tuva.
Here’s a snap shot of how the videos are presented:

Richard Feynman lecturing on Gravitational Law
Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry — Richard Feynman

Often I encounter SQL queries where I would love to use the alias names of my columns in the WHERE clause, today while trawling around the web I found a cool and easy way to do it. Here’s an example:
WITH Customer_Info AS
(
SELECT (Surname + ‘, ‘ + Firstname) AS FullName,
(Address_Line_1 + ‘,’ + Address_Line_2) AS Customer_Address
FROM Customers
)
SELECT FullName, Customer_Address
FROM Customer_Info
WHERE FullName LIKE ‘Smith%’
