Palestine is a Geographical Area, Not a Nationality
The Arabs invented a special national entity in the 1960s (rather than a geographic delineation) called the Palestinians, specifically for political gain. They brand Israelis as invaders and claim the geographic area called Palestine belongs exclusively to the Arabs.
The word Palestine is not even Arabic. It is a word coined by the Romans around 135 CE from the name of a seagoing Aegean people who settled on the coast of Canaan in antiquity – the Philistines. The name was chosen to replace Judea, as a sign that Jewish sovereignty had been eradicated following the Jewish Revolts against Rome.
In the course of time, the Latin name Philistia was further ***ized into Palistina or Palestine. During the next 2,000 years, Palestine was never an independent state belonging to any people, nor did a Palestinian people, distinct from other Arabs, appear during 1,300 years of Muslim hegemony in Palestine under Arab and Ottoman rule.
Palestine was and is solely a geographic name. Therefore, it is not surprising that in modern times the name 'Palestine' or 'Palestinian' was applied as an adjective to all inhabitants of the geographical area between the Mediterranean and the Jordan River – Palestine Jews and Palestine Arabs alike. In fact, until the 1960s, most Arabs in Palestine preferred to identify themselves merely as part of the great Arab nation or citizens of "southern Syria."
The term 'Palestinian' as a noun was usurped and co-opted by the Arabs in the 1960s as a tactic initiated by Yasser Arafat to brand Jews as intruders on someone else's turf. He presents Arab residents of Israel and the Territories as indigenous inhabitants since time immemorial. This fabrication of peoplehood allowed Palestinian Arabs to gain parity with the Jewish people as a nation deserving of an independent state.
In a March 1977 interview in the Dutch newspaper Trouw, Zahir Muhsein, a member of the PLO executive committee, admitted:
"Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism."
Historically, Before the Arabs Fabricated the Palestinian People as an Exclusively Arab Phenomenon, No Such Group Existed Countless official British Mandate-vintage documents speak of 'the Jews' and 'the Arabs' of Palestine – not 'Jews and Palestinians.'
Ironically, before local Jews began calling themselves Israelis in 1948 (the name 'Israel' was chosen for the newly-established Jewish state), the term 'Palestine' applied almost exclusively to Jews and the institutions founded by new Jewish immigrants in the first half of the 20th century, before independence. Some examples include:
• Jerusalem Post, founded in 1932, was called the Palestine Post until 1948.
• Bank Leumi L'Israel was called the "Anglo-Palestine Bank, a Jewish Company."
• The Jewish Agency – an arm of the Zionist movement engaged in Jewish settlement since 1929 – was called the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
• The house organ of American Zionism in the 1930s was called New Palestine.
• Today's Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1936 by German Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany, was called the "Palestine Symphony Orchestra, composed of some 70 Palestinian Jews."
• The United Jewish Appeal (UJA) was established in 1939 as a merger of the United Palestine Appeal and the fundraising arm of the Joint Distribution Committee.
If you watch the blockbuster 1960 hit movie "Exodus," based on the novel by Leon Uris, you will see how recent this appellation is. The hero, a native-born Jewish pioneer called Ari ben Canaan, talks of his love for Palestine.
Encouraged by their success at historical revisionism and brainwashing the world with the 'Big Lie' of a Palestinian people, Palestinian Arabs have more recently begun to claim they are the descendants of the Philistines and even the Stone Age Canaanites. Based on that myth, they can claim to have been 'victimized' twice by the Jews: in the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites and by the Israelis in modern times – a total fabrication. Archeologists explain that the Philistines were a Mediterranean people who settled along the coast of Canaan in 1100 BCE. They have no connection to the Arab nation, a desert people who emerged from the Arabian Peninsula.
As if that myth were not enough, Arafat has also claimed "Palestinian Arabs are descendants of the Jebusites" displaced when King David conquered Jerusalem. Arafat has also argued that "Abraham was an Iraqi." One Christmas Eve, Arafat declared that "Jesus was a Palestinian," a preposterous claim that echoes the words of Hanan Ashrawi, a Christian Arab, who in an interview during the 1991 Madrid Conference said: "Jesus Christ was born in my country, in my land," claiming she was "the descendant of the first Christians" – disciples who spread the gospel around Bethlehem some 600 years before the Arab conquest. If her claim were true, it would be tantamount to confessing that she is a Jew!
Contradictions abound, Palestinian Arab leaders claim to be descended from the Canaanites, the Philistines, the Jebusites and the first Christians. They also co-opt Jesus and ignore his Jewishness, at the same time claiming the Jews never were a people and never built the Holy Temples in Jerusalem.
There has Never Been a Sovereign Arab State in Palestine.
The artificiality of a Palestinian identity is reflected in the attitudes and actions of neighboring Arabs nations who never established a Palestinian state. It also is expressed in the utterances and loyalties of so-called Palestinians.
Only twice in Jerusalem's history has it served as a national capital. The first time was as the capital of the two Jewish Commonwealths during the First and Second Temple periods, as described in the Bible, reinforced by archaeological evidence and numerous ancient documents. The second time is in modern times as the capital of the State of Israel. It has never served as an Arab capital for the simple reason that there has never been a Palestinian Arab state.
The rhetoric by Arab leaders on behalf of the Palestinians rings hollow, for the Arabs in neighboring lands, who control 99.9 percent of the Middle East land, have never recognized a Palestinian entity. They have always considered Palestine and its inhabitants part of the great 'Arab nation,' historically and politically as an integral part of Greater Syria – Suriyya al-Kubra – a designation that covered both sides of the Jordan River.
In the 1950s, Jordan simply annexed the West Bank, since its population was viewed as brethren of the Jordanians. Jordan's official narrative of "Jordanian state-building" attests to this fact:
"Jordanian identity underlies the significant and fundamental common denominator that makes it inclusive of Palestinian identity, particularly in view of the shared historic social and political development of the people on both sides of the Jordan…. The Jordan government, in view of the historical and political relationship with the West Bank . granted all Palestinian refugees on its territory full citizenship rights while protecting and upholding their political rights as Palestinians (Right of Return or compensation)."
The Arabs never established a Palestinian state when the UN offered a partition plan in 1947 to establish "an Arab and a Jewish state" (not a Palestinian state, it should be noted). Nor did the Arabs recognize or establish a Palestinian state during the two decades prior to the Six-Day War when the West Bank was under Jordanian control and the Gaza Strip was under Egyptian control; nor did the Palestinians clamor for autonomy or independence during those years under Jordanian and Egyptian rule.
Well before the 1967 decision to create a new Arab people called 'Palestinians,' when the word 'Palestinian' was associated with Jewish endeavors, Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi, a local Arab leader, testified in 1937 before a British investigative body – the Peel Commission – saying: "There is no such country ! Palestine is a term the Zionists invented! There is no Palestine in the Bible. Our country was for centuries, part of Syria."
In a 1946 appearance before the Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry, also acting as an investigative body, the Arab historian Philip Hitti stated: "There is no such thing as Palestine in history, absolutely not." According to investigative journalist Joan Peters, who spent seven years researching the origins of the Arab-Jewish conflict over Palestine (From Time Immemorial, 2001) the one identity that was never considered by local inhabitants prior to the 1967 war was 'Arab Palestinian.'
Quotes About "Palestine"
Remember: Israel is bad! Its existence keeps reminding Muslims what a bunch of losers they are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"There will be no peace until they will love their children more than they hate us."
-Golda Meir-
'If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel'
~Benjamin Netanyahu~
"Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all out war, a war which will last for generations.
~Yasser Arafat~
"The Palestinian people have no national identity. I, Yasser Arafat, man of destiny, will give them that identity through conflict with Israel."
~ Yasser Arafat ~
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel. For our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of Palestinian people, since Arab national interest demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism".

The hub aims to make it easier for shoppers to find and browse plus-size clothing. eBay's marketplace hosts over eight million items of size 18+ fashion items.
The three short films, starring plus-size models Tess Holliday and Bishamber Das, as well as a ballerina and a fitness instructor, were created by the agency Rubber Republic as part of its ongoing work for eBay UK.
They ask questions including "Can you be a happy bride at any size?" and "Can you feel sexy at any size?" to tackle the idea that happiness equates to being slim, and call for a shift in attitude, saying: "Whatever your body type is, if you're happy and comfortable with it, that's the ideal size."
The first video was released today, with the following two to come over the following weeks on eBay UK's social media channels.

Marleta Childs
P. O. Box 6825
Thanks to Ray Parker Fouts of Cocoa, FL, for this interesting article that she found in the North Carolina newspaper, The Old North State, edited by Stephen D. POOL:
[Vol. XI. Elizabeth City, N. C. Saturday, May 3, 1851. No.
"The Birth-place of WASHINGTON. From the Alexandria Gazette. Arlington House. April 14, '51. To the Editors of the Alexandria Gazette: Observing in your valuable journal, of a late date, the notice of a stone placed on the ruins of a house in which the beloved WASHINGTON first saw the light, permit me to offer to you a brief account of that interesting event, as it occurred six and thirty years ago.
In June, 1815, I sailed in my own vessel, the "Lady of the Lake," a fine topsail schooner of ninety tons, accompanied by two gentlemen, Messrs. LEWIS and GRYMES bound to POPE's Creek, in the county of Westmoreland, carrying with us a slab of freestone, having the following inscription: The 11th of February, 1732, (Old Style) WASHINGTON Was Born. Our pilot approached the Westmoreland shore cautiously, as our vessel drew nearly eight feet water, and the pilot was but indifferently acquainted with so unfrequented a navigation. We anchored at some distance from the land, and, taking to our boats, we soon reached the mouth of POPE's or BRYDGE's Creek, and proceeding upwards we fell in with McKenzie BEVERLY, Esq., and several gentlemen on a fishing party, and also with the overseer of the property that formed the object of our visit. We were kindly received by the individuals, and escorted to the spot where a few scattered bricks alone marked the birth-place of the Chief.
Desirous of making the ceremonial of depositing the stone as imposing as circumstances would permit, we enveloped it in the "Star-spangled Banner: of our country, and it was borne to its resting place in the arms of the descendants of four revolutionary patriots and soldiers—Samuel LEWIS, a son of George LEWIS, a Captain in BAYLOR's regiment of horse, and nephew of WASHINGTON; William GRYMES, the son of Benjamin GRYMES, a gallant and distinguished officer of the Life Guard; the Captain of the vessel, the son of a brave soldier wounded in the battle of Guilford; and Geo. W. P. CUSTIS, the son of John Parke CUSTIS, Aid-de-Camp to the Commander-in-Chief before Cambridge and Yorktown.
We gathered together the bricks of the ancient chimney that once formed the hearth around which WASHINGTON in his infancy had played, and constructed a rude kind of pedestal, on which we reverently placed the first stone, commending it to the respect and protection of the American people in general, and the citizens of Westmoreland in particular.
Bidding adieu to those who had received us so kindly, we re-embarked and hoisted our colors, and being provided with a piece of cannon and suitable ammunition, we fired a salute, awakening the echoes that had slept for ages around the hallowed spot; and while the smoke of our martial tribute to the birth-place of the Pater Patriae still lingered on the bosom of the Potomac, we spread our sails to a favoring breeze and speeded joyously to our homes. Such was an act of filial love and gratitude, performed more than a third of a century ago; such is the history of the First Stone to the memory of WASHINGTON. Health and respect, my dear sir, George W. P. CUSTIS." [p. 2]

Niklaus Troxler's jazz poster, 'A Tribute to the Music of Thelonious Monk' elegantly combines typography and color to create a portrait of the great jazz pianist and his music. The typography outlines the recognizable silhouette of Monk's head in text of blue, red, and yellow, the colors of of his home state North Carolina. The rhythm that is created by the changing color of the words as they pulse around the profile evokes the tempo of his playing, while the deep blue background suggests the roots of his music.
Niklaus Troxler is an internationally renowned Swiss graphic designer who specializes in poster design, corporate design, illustration and architectural murals.
Since 1975, Troxler has organized the Willisau Jazz Festival, an international event that features the best in contemporary jazz. He also produces the festival posters which are all the exactly the same size due to Swiss bill posting restrictions.
The Willisau Jazz Festival offers Troxler the perfect opportunity to merge his two passions of graphic design and jazz music into one unique concept. "Everything that fascinates me about jazz music, is also what interests me in design: rhythm, sound, contrast, interaction, experiment, improvisation, composition, individuality. I have been organizing jazz concerts for as long as I have been designing. Both activities have inspired me since the mid-1960s, and still have lost none of their fascination."
Troxler's posters are layered with visual puns and musical metaphors, executed in hand crafted illustration and typography. He tries to avoid the use of photography which he considers to be clichéd.
Silkscreen and lithographic prints are the main techniques that Troxler uses to communicate both figurative and abstract ideas created from paper cut-outs, collage, stencils and brush and line drawings.
The styles that Troxler uses in his poster designs fall into three main categories: Abstract, Typographic and Figurative.
Troxler's abstract designs show the 1960's influence of Geometric Abstraction and Op Art styles, as well as that of the Swiss graphic designer Josef Müller-Brockmann, whose formal designs are based on grid structures. Troxler's poster for the 'Underkarl' concert uses an optical illusion known as 'the scintillating grid' whose dots effectively blink like light emitting diodes, an apt metaphor for Underkarl's electronic music.
Troxler's typographic designs demonstrate experimental and ground breaking ideas. His apprenticeship as a typesetter established an interest in typography that has had a lasting effect on his designs: "Even today, it's always a 'Must' for me to design one or two 'pure' Typography Posters!"
Troxler's hand crafted poster for the 'McCoy Tyner Sextet' works on two different levels. It is a modern design classic that stylistically forecasts the creative explosion of computer generated typographic design in the 1980's. On another level, the dynamic interaction between the positive and negative forms of the typography recalls the strong colour and pattern of African textiles. These bold abstract elements echo the African sounds and rhythms to be found in McCoy Tyner's music at this time.
Troxler's eclectic figurative designs show diverse influences that range from the 1960's pop influence of Pushpin Graphics to artists as different in outlook as the Fauve painter Henri Matisse and the Surrealist René Magritte. They also rejoice in his love of drawing which he expresses through a range of styles and techniques.
Niklaus Troxler's poster 'Jazz Festival Willisau '78' draws on the surreal fusion of images that is found in the art of Magritte but it is executed in a comic book 'Pushpin' style. The illustration is of a baritone sax whose mouthpiece has transformed into a serpent. The hypnotic swaying of this venomous creature, augmented by its acid colours and cool blue background, suggests the kind of music and ambience to expect at the festival.
Troxler creates a diverse range of designs in a variety of styles and techniques but all are indelibly stamped with his visual identity and are immediately recognizable as his work. He explains his approach, 'The secret is to concentrate, and to rely on my curiosity, to let myself be carried away by improvisation, trusting that my taste, or sensibilities, won't allow banalities. The message has priority over form, creativeness over aesthetics, and expression over perfect design.'

County EMS Chief Wilbur Daley presented a plan at Monday's county council meeting to teach all county employees CPR and how to use an A.E.D., or Automated External Defibrillator. An A.E.D. is proposed for each floor of both the council and courthouse buildings, as well as in all county buildings.
The machines and classes will not cost the county money. The time for the personnel is already budgeted and the county already has the A.E.D. units. The only cost will be for the access cabinets for those units, which run between $150 to $400 apiece.
These classes will be eight hours long and county administrator Andrew Fulghum will work with the different departments to see that everyone can take the class.
Questions were asked by all of the council members, but when councilman Henry Etheridge asked Chairman LeRoy Blackshear if he could ask another question, he was denied.
"No, sir, you had your turn. It's time to vote," Blackshear said.
"Then I'll vote no, then," Etheridge said.
When Blackshear moved the voting forward, Etheridge spoke up.
"I call a point of order, Mr. Chairman. I want to ask a question," Etheridge said.
Without even asking for a second to the motion, Blackshear replied that there wasn't a second to the point, and that Etheridge was out of order. He then moved the vote forward. Council voted to allow the classes, with Etheridge the only vote against.
Levy Fire ISO
Doug Graham, Chief of the Levy Fire Department, gave information about the new ISO ratings for the Levy area. When the department began in 1986, it had an ISO rating of 7/9, and the department was all volunteer. The seven denotes addresses within 5 miles of the fire station; the nine indicates addresses outside of that area.
The new ratings for the area include a drop from a 10 to 5 in the Bellinger Hill area. This rating will affect 59 houses and two churches.
Secondary ratings will drop from 9 to 5 within either Levy or Bellinger Hill's station, leaving only 17 houses and four commercial buildings outside of the protection zone listed at an ISO rating of either 9 or 10.
L.E.D costs
Sammy Taylor of Greenway Group in Columbia presented council with information about L.E.D. and induction lighting for the buildings that the county owns. Taylor said the potential savings in lighting electrical costs - and cooling costs - could be between 40 and 70 percent. Council agreed to look through the information and will be in contact with his company soon.
Reading on council method
The public hearing and second reading of the ordinance to repeal two separate ordinances, 09-18 and 09-32 regarding changing the number of Council seats and single member districts via referendum was allowed to die in favor of the first reading of a new ordinance, which would change the County Council Members from the existing "at-large" method to "single-member districts" method. The ordinance also repeals the earlier ordinances 09-18 and 09-32, and allows for formulating referendum questions that are to appear on the ballot for such a change.
Zoning in question
A public hearing regarding a property on Limehouse Road being rezoned from Residential to Community Commercial was held for the third reading of this ordinance. The ordinance was tabled for further discussion by council after Nolan Evans, who owns the adjacent properties, protested the rezoning, stating that it would affect his property values in a detrimental way. Tangela Stewart-Johnson, co-owner of the property in question, disagreed, saying that there are already businesses in that area. The question will probably be on the agenda for the next meeting, after the council has an opportunity to speak to both parties and hear their concerns.
Other items on the agenda:
-A resolution was approved and adopted to recognize that the Allendale, Hampton and Jasper counties Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission and New Life Center are one and the same entity. This was brought about because of questions by the Federal Government regarding the names of the entities.
-Ronnie Malphrus presented information regarding the bid received for support and on-call IT services for the county's servers and networks. The work is currently handled on an hourly basis, and will be contracted to BC-3 of Columbia, with an up-front fee of $7,500 and a monthly fee of $7,500 on a three-year contract for their services.
-David Jirousek presented the first reading of an ordinance to change an address on Cypress Ridge Drive South from the Industrial Development Zone to the Mixed Business Zone on the official zoning map. This change was initiated by J.D. Roberts, who is looking at opening a small engine repair and sales shop within the existing building.

The College Library is a magnificent and a very popular place for students to work. It is housed in All Saints Church, an extremely beautiful Eighteenth-Century building which was formerly used as the City Church and was opened as a library in October 1975.
The Library has been an important part of College life since the foundation in 1427 and it continues to support the academic study of College members today. The modern collection is superbly stocked and it is kept up to date with regular purchases. We aim to support Undergraduate-level study in all the principal subjects studied by Lincoln College Undergraduates. Postgraduates may find some books suitable for their research or taught courses in the College Library, but normally it is expected that those needing access to more specialised books will use the main University libraries. Non-members of the College may make an appointment to consult individual items.
The Senior Library houses the early printed books and historic collections of the College. Particular strengths are: English plays of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, Hebrew books, Civil War pamphlets and works connected with John Wesley and Methodism. We are in the early stages of cataloguing the historic collection on SOLO.
To learn more about the cataloguing project and follow our progress please go to the Recently Catalogued page. To find out more about the special collections, refer to the Senior Library pages. To arrange to consult an item in the historic collections, please refer to the Visitors to the Library pages.

Long sword built from storm sword shard. Empowered with the force of storm-water.
The most unassuming things are sometimes surprisingly powerful. Particularly if they were once a fragment of a larger item… Quest submission for The Shards of the Storm.
A divinely aware ornament, this device serves to conceal and hide from the most powerful of beings…
This is a Quest Submission for the Shards of the Storm Quest.
The shards of Typhoon and Monsoon were recognized by the Wind and Sky, and so the lands beneath them permitted them to exist, and thus remembered, so they continue to exist.
But what of the shards themselves? When the hands of mortal interfere with the Gods, woe to thee who believes them worthy.
In accordance with my own Quest:
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, the implements of war returning life to the land.
The divine weapons of the Storm Queen, these enormously potent weapons are both the Source and the Destiny of the Shards of the Storm, the physical manifestations of the destructive capacity of the wind and rain.
A Breastplate containing a Shard of the Storm, and blessed with its powers… after a fashion.
A mid-sized sailing ship with an embedded Shard of the Storm.
A shard of Typhoon set into an exceedingly large amber, this powerful pendant grants clarity of sight and temper to the wearer, as well as several other powers over the storm.
The ruins of the lands that bore the confrontation between the Mad God of Avarice and the Storm Queen, this place has been soaked by the divine essence of two of the most chaotic gods.
The shattered remnants of a divine weapon, a certain amount of power remains in these bits of celestial metal.
In some regions, various occupations might be exclusively staffed by members of a particular race or ethnic group. As examples, a city's butchers might tradtionally have orcish blood, or all the dwarves in an area could be expected to join the miners' guild (even if they personally have nothing to do with mining). Those who violate these stereotypes may find themselves in conflict with local customs or idiosyncratic laws.

Last spring, while working two jobs, I possessed a 32-item wardrobe. This year, without one of those jobs, but with big birthday celebrations (my 30th!) and hopefully job interviews in Philadelphia, my capsule wardrobe is down to just 22 items. However, my closet feels absolutely stuffed when compared to my 18-core item winter wardrobe. On laundry day each week, my closet was sparse! That's not a bad thing though as I strive to only own what I love and use. To achieve this goal, I declutter regularly. Anyway, many of the items I left out from last spring's collection I anticipate wearing during this summer.
Michelle's Capsule Wardrobe:
1. new white short sleeve shirt from Ann Taylor
2. white 3/4 sleeve shirt from New York & Company
3. new white long sleeve Essential Shirt from The Limited
4. printed pink short sleeve wrap top from Ann Taylor Factory Store (ATFS)
5. white short sleeve shirt with lavender vertical stripes from Ann Taylor
6. black lace cross-over sleeveless top from ATFS
7. black tailored top with sheer short sleeves and attached scarf from White House Black Market
8. new black long sleeve Essential Shirt from The Limited
9. dark gray pants from ATFS
10. black slim ankle pants from New York & Company
11. black pants in short length by Alfani from Macy's (with flats)
12. black pants in regular length Cassidy Fit by The Limited (with heels)
13. dark blue Curvy bootcut jeans from ATFS
14. dark blue Levi's bootcut 515 jeans from Kohl's*
15. dark blue Levi's bootcut jeans in short length with buttoned flaps over back pockets from JCPenney**
16. white capris with vertical line texture by Bandolino Blu from Macy's
17. dark blue knee-length jean skirt by Liz Claiborne from JCPenney
18. black and white floral printed and horizontal striped full skirt from The Limited
19. black pencil skirt by Banana Republic from a thrift shop called Second Time Around (Philadelphia)
20. new dark gray pencil skirt from H&M
21. black flirty skirt from The Limited
22. black wrap dress from Ann Taylor
* to be replaced by dark blue Levi's Demi Curve jean capris when it is warmer
** to be replaced by dark blue Levi's 515 jean capris with the bottoms folded up once from Macy's when it is warmer
I realize that I don't own a lot of color in my capsule wardrobe. Hey, I like black and white. Plus, neutrals work well in both a capsule wardrobe and to pack lightly for my week-long springtime birthday trip to Paris. For both, it's important that everything goes together.
It is my hope that these neutral basics help me achieve a classic sophisticated look. What's more timeless than a white button-down and a LBD? Such items are often called "wardrobe essentials." Furthermore, it feels right to have a closet full of classic basics during the very season that I enter a new decade.
This season, a touch of my passionate nature comes out more in my accessories, extras, nail polish, all of which play an important role. "Color, texture, pattern and shine all create visual interest" as Stacy and Clinton (of TLC's What Not To Wear) would say. These outfit completers could do that work. More lace and luxurious fabrics in my camisoles enhance an undertone of ladylike elegance. Perhaps I'll go with more color and embellishment in my core items during summertime...
- 14 camisoles (I prefer camisoles to tank tops. I wear one underneath a layer often.)
1-4. new "new white" Sonoma Life + Style Everyday Cami's from Kohl's (I do replace pieces when they are past their prime and when budget allows. Especially all the white I adore.)
5. white from LOFT Outlet (This smaller and shorter white one without a shelf bra needs a replacement!)
6. ivory silky and lacy from White House Black Market (WHBM)
7. dark pink Sonoma Life + Style from Kohl's
8. slightly darker pink from LOFT Outlet
9. deep red from LOFT Outlet
10. black silky and lacy from WHBM
11. black with white polka dots and black lace trim on cross-over neckline, back and bottom from WHBM
12. black from LOFT Outlet
13. black with lace trim from ATFS
14. black Sonoma Life + Style from Kohl's
- 12 tees:
1. white scoop neck tee from ATFS
2. white v-neck 3/4 sleeve t-shirt from H&M
3. new "fresh white" cross-over 3/4 sleeve t-shirt from Target
4. new black and white horizontal stripe long sleeve slubbed cotton tee from LOFT
5. reddish "plum" cross-over 3/4 sleeve t-shirt by Merona from Target
6. navy boat-neck 3/4 sleeve t-shirt with white horizontal stripes from H&M
7. "royal teal" cross-over 3/4 sleeve t-shirt by Merona from Target
8. dark gray boat-neck 3/4 sleeve t-shirt with white horizontal stripes from H&M
9. dark gray tee with floral pattern on mesh front top and short sleeves from H&M
10. black v-neck short sleeve tee by Mossimo from Target
11. black scoop neck tee from ATFS
12. black cross-over 3/4 sleeve t-shirt by Merona from Target
1. black by Cherokee from Target
2. ivory from New York & Company
3. dark yet vibrant azalea pink from LOFT Outlet
- many pieces of outerwear (2 suit jackets (one black from The Limited and one charcoal gray from ATFS), jackets/blazers, trenches (including a khaki trench from Banana Republic Factory Store))
- 14 scarves (many solid ones in a rich color, 2 are polka dotted, 2 feature silver stitching and sequins)
- lots of shoes and sandals (including 2 pairs of black leather ballet flats with a patent cap toe--Applause from Naturalizer and the other from Nine West, a pair of flats with leopard print from Banana Republic Factory Store, 2 pairs of red peep-toe pumps,...)
- lots of jewelry (28 pairs of earrings including a new pair of large round CZ studs from The Limited, a watch from Anne Klein, and various other pieces)
- 2 pairs of sunglasses
1. brown from Target
2. big and black from Target
- 3 belts
1. black skinny bow belt for smallest part of waist from WHBM
2. black wide braid for smallest part of waist from The Limited
3. everyday black/brown reversible to go through a pair of pants' belt loops from Target
- black patterned tights
- many handbags (including a wine-colored everyday patent leather handbag by Coach from eBay, black signature print fabric handbag by Coach from Coach Outlet, several clutches for evening (including a new black leather clutch by Hobo The Original from Amazon), and many totes that I actually use for shopping)
- Nail polish (Several OPI Nail Lacquers and the sheer Mademoiselle by Essie which is my go-to for my fingernails right now)
- Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere fragrance
Since I adore shopping, I would love to engage in this activity on the occasion of my springtime birthday, especially purchasing very pretty lingerie in Paris. These "hot pink" shoes, another sheer nail polish and this black lace top have recently piqued my interest when I came across them online, so I'll have to check them out in person! Nonetheless, I will keep my capsule wardrobe and its extras in mind, so I promise to not overdo it.
Stay tuned for another wardrobe-related post showing what I plan to pack for Paris!

[An earlier version of this article appeared as "Identifying William Bury as Jack the Ripper" in Ripperologist 139 (2014).]
The Jack the Ripper Murders have baffled law enforcement officials and armchair detectives for over 125 years. In 2005 Robert D. Keppel et al. published a description of Jack the Ripper's signature utilizing modern principles of crime scene assessment and signature analysis. The 1889 murder of Ellen Bury by her husband William Bury can be closely mapped to this signature. Given the rarity of the signature, our ability to rule out alternative explanations of Ellen Bury's murder and additional information about William Bury from police records, court records, and newspaper reports, we can now confidently identify William Bury as Jack the Ripper.
Jack the Ripper's Signature
Modus operandi refers to "the offender's actions during the commission of a crime that are necessary to complete the crime" while signature, or the killer's "calling card," refers to "those actions that are unique to the offender and go beyond what is necessary to kill the victim" (1). While MO can change from crime scene to crime scene during the course of a series of murders, the serial killer's signature remains stable (2). Individual elements of a serial killer's signature can vary in how they are expressed, vary in the degree of their expression or be entirely absent at a given crime scene due to the specific circumstances of that murder (3). Signature evidence is admissible in court (4).
Keppel et al. based their analysis of Jack the Ripper's signature on material contained in inquest reports, police records, crime scene photographs and other documentary material produced at the time of the murders. They avoided reliance on newspaper articles due to the lack of authority of these sources (5). They conducted a modus operandi and signature analysis of the Whitechapel murders, defined as Emma Smith, Martha Tabram, Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, Mary Jane Kelly, Rose Mylett, Alice McKenzie, the Pinchin Street Torso and Frances Coles. They were able to link six of these murders, Tabram, Nichols, Chapman, Stride, Eddowes and Kelly to a common signature. Using data from the state of Washington's Homicide Investigation and Tracking System (HITS) database, which suggest the extreme rarity of Jack the Ripper's specific combination of signature characteristics, Keppel et al. concluded that these six murders were the work of a single assailant (6). The HITS data, for example, demonstrated that "trauma to the genital area is extremely rare—in less than one tenth of one per cent of all murder cases in the HITS system" (7) and "the combination of characteristics of posing and mutilation occurred in only 0.05% of all murder cases" (8). While a comparable database for murders in Victorian Britain is not available, there is no evidence to date that Jack the Ripper's unique signature can be associated with any other Victorian murders apart from the February, 1889 murder of Ellen Bury, for which William Bury was convicted and executed.
Keppel et al. define Jack the Ripper's signature as containing the following elements:
"1) the injuries sustained by the victims displayed the signature characteristic of picquerism;
2) the killer displayed a level of overkill in each case that escalated over the series;
3) the victims were incapacitated immediately and killed quickly to enable the killer to live out his fantasies;
4) the killer exhibited complete domination over each victim;
5) the victims' bodies were left open and on display;
6) the victims in this series were displayed in unusual body positions, revealing signs of posing;
7) the victims were left in sexually degrading positions with their legs spread and genitalia exposed to illustrate their vulnerability after death and the killer's dominance;
8) the killer mutilated his victims and showed increased postmortem mutilation from one victim to the next;
9) the killer evolved to the removal of their organs and body parts, and removed some of them from the crime scenes;
10) the killer targeted specific areas of attack, stabbing and slashing the breasts, genitalia, abdomen, and sexual organs of the victims;
11) the murders were planned and organized; and
12) the combination of these actions created a unique signature with which we can link the six victims of one killer, Jack the Ripper" (9).
The Ellen Bury murder was a domestic murder that occurred at the residence of the couple, possibly in connection with an argument. The couple was known to live at this residence by others living in the area. Due to this situation, William Bury needed to modify his behavior as a murderer in order to conceal his identity as Jack the Ripper. It is this set of modifications, especially his need to deescalate some of his signature behaviors, that has helped to fool investigators and has allowed William Bury to escape identification as Jack the Ripper for nearly 130 years.
Account of the Ellen Bury Murder
Unless otherwise indicated, all quotations that follow are from the William Bury trial notes (10) or the Ellen Bury medical notes (11) in the National Archives of Scotland.
In April, 1888 William and Ellen Bury were married in the East End of London. William Bury was 28 and Ellen Bury was in her early thirties. Throughout 1888 they continued to live in the East End. In January, 1889 they moved to Dundee, Scotland. William Bury forged an offer of employment from Malcolm, Ogilvie & Co. in Dundee to persuade Ellen to move with him. On February 10, 1889, William Bury walked into a police station in Dundee to report the death of his wife. He spoke to Lt. James Parr. William Bury said that on the night of February 4, he and his wife had been drinking. The following morning he said that he discovered the body of his wife, and that she had a rope around her neck. He indicated that he cut the body and put it into a trunk. He expressed concern "that he would be apprehended as Jack the Ripper." Two officers, Lt. David Lamb and Detective Peter Campbell, visited the residence. Lt. Lamb found Ellen Bury's body stuffed inside a trunk. Lamb stated, "the right leg was broken in two and doubled back under lid of box. Left leg bent back so that the foot was over right shoulder." Dr Charles Templeman was called to the scene. The marks on Ellen Bury's neck suggested that she had been strangled. Her abdomen had been mutilated and a foot of intestine was protruding from one of the cuts. Some of Ellen Bury's clothing and possessions had been burned in the fireplace of the residence. William Bury was immediately charged with Ellen Bury's murder and taken into custody. During Bury's trial (Bury's defense team would argue that Ellen Bury committed suicide by strangling herself), Dr Templeman testified that one of Ellen Bury's injuries was a "mark on left temporal muscle" which indicated "a blow or fall before death. A stick or poker is more likely than fist to have caused it." Dr Henry Duncan Littlejohn confirmed this, testifying, "My opinion is that a struggle having taken place a blow was struck on left temporal muscle. It is in a hollow and not so likely to have been caused by a fall. This blow would render deceased either wholly or semi-unconscious. I think the application of ligature to neck followed producing suffocation and that while deceased moribund the various wounds on the belly and elsewhere inflicted."
The mutilations performed on Ellen Bury's body were focused on the abdominal and genital areas. Her mutilations were described in detail in Dr Templeman's medical report. He wrote:
"There was an incised wound in the centre of the abdomen, extending downwards from the umbilicus for four and a half inches. It penetrated the abdominal cavity, and through it protruded part of the omentum, and about a foot of intestine, part of which was dry and black from exposure to the air. This cut was ragged towards the lower part.
Commencing at the inner end of the fifth right costal cartilage, was a cut running downwards and to the left for seven and a half inches. This was quite superficial, with the exception of the last inch, where it penetrated through the skin into the muscular layer of the abdomen. Half an inch to the right of this, and running parallel to it, was a similar cut, five inches in length and superficial throughout. Two inches to the right of, and commencing on a level with the umbilicus was an incised wound, three quarters of an inch in length and penetrating through to the muscular layer. From the lower end of the wound opening into the abdomen, on the left side were several superficial cuts little more than penetrating the cuticle, and running downwards to the pubis.
Running downwards from the centre of the pubis to the outer side of the left labium was an incised wound 2 ½ inches in length, penetrating the skin and fat. On the inner side of the right labium was a wound 2 inches in length, penetrating the skin. Beginning about an inch behind the anus was an incised wound running forwards and to the left, into the perinaeum, and dividing the sphincter muscle.
At the lower border of the ribs on the left side in the nipple line were two abrasions each an inch in length.
The edges of all the wounds above described were everted and marked throughout by a line of capillary haemorhage, and we are therefore of opinion that they must have been inflicted during life or very shortly after death, while the body still retained its warmth and vital elasticity. The other injuries described were all of recent origin.
There were other two cuts on the abdomen—one two inches to the inner side of the right anterior superior iliac spine, and the other at an almost corresponding level on the opposite side. They were each about half an inch in length, running downwards and inwards and penetrating to the muscular layer. These were free from any trace of haemorhage."
Dr Templeman also reported, "Over the bridge of the nose was a small incised wound penetrating the skin only, half an inch in length, running obliquely downwards from right to left."
Table 1: Chief Objections to Identifying William Bury as Jack the Ripper
|Ellen Bury's throat was not cut
|The MO of a serial killer can change from crime scene to crime scene
|Ellen Bury's mutilations were relatively minor
|A signature characteristic of a serial killer can be reduced in its expression due to the specific circumstances of a murder
|William Bury could have killed prostitutes closer to where he lived
|Some serial killers prefer to kill at a distance, and William Bury's horse and cart gave him the means to do so
|Jack the Ripper would not have approached the police
|Due to Ellen Bury's mutilations, flight from the crime scene could have led to a national manhunt for William Bury as Jack the Ripper
|The evidence against William Bury is purely circumstantial
|Circumstantial evidence alone can be sufficient to gain a murder conviction
Mapping the Ellen Bury Murder to Jack the Ripper's Signature
Two previous authors on William Bury, Euan Macpherson (2005) and William Beadle (2009), both raised the issue of a signature match between the Ellen Bury murder and the Jack the Ripper murders, however they did not relate their analyses to the professionally developed description of Jack the Ripper's signature published by Keppel et al. Macpherson wrote about a "modus operandi" of strangulation and mutilation (12), while Beadle confined his remarks about signature to Ellen Bury's mutilations (13). William Bury's signature is a close match with the signature described by Keppel et al. Picquerism, or "sexual pleasure gained by stabbing, cutting, or slicing of another person" (14), is evident in the series of cuts and stabs that were performed by William Bury in Ellen Bury's abdominal and genital areas. Most of these occurred around the time of death and two others (the ones described in Dr. Templeman's report as being free of hemorrhage) were definitely postmortem. When Dr Templeman testified that Ellen Bury's mutilations "were not necessarily fatal," he admitted the possibility that they could have been sufficient to cause death by themselves. While it is not certain that William Bury's actions amounted to overkill, his three-pronged attack (blow to the head, strangulation and the mutilations, including a significant cut to the abdomen from which a foot of intestine was protruding) represented excessive violence. An individual signature characteristic can be "diluted" in its expression or absent in a murder within a series due to the specific circumstances of that murder. William Bury and Ellen Bury were known by others to live at their residence in Dundee. William Bury could not conduct mutilations as severe as or more severe than those of Kelly and continue with the progression of mutilations in the Jack the Ripper series without revealing himself as Jack the Ripper. He was forced to significantly deescalate the mutilations, and to completely abandon his signature behavior of removing organs and other body parts in order to conceal his identity.
William Bury incapacitated Ellen Bury prior to murdering her. As noted earlier, Dr Littlejohn testified, "My opinion is that a struggle having taken place a blow was struck on left temporal muscle. It is in a hollow and not so likely to have been caused by a fall. This blow would render deceased either wholly or semi-unconscious." After murdering Ellen Bury, William Bury continued to exert domination and control over his victim. He conducted degrading mutilations to Ellen Bury's face, abdominal and genital areas, he placed her body into a trunk, and he burned some of her clothing and possessions in the fireplace of the residence. Ellen Bury's body was found in an unusual position inside the trunk. Books were neatly placed around her body, indicating that William Bury substantially emptied the trunk prior to putting Ellen Bury's body into it. Hence, he had the freedom to place her body into the trunk in a variety of different ways. He placed her body in a bizarre, sexually degrading pose that would be viewed by whomever opened the trunk. Lt. Lamb testified, "the right leg was broken in two and doubled back under lid of box. Left leg bent back so that the foot was over right shoulder." Ellen Bury was naked except for the chemise she was wearing, which makes the sexual connotation of her pose even more apparent. As with other victims of Jack the Ripper, her head was tilted to the side (16). Placing Ellen Bury's body into the trunk was not an attempt to disguise the location of Ellen Bury's body, as William Bury directed police to the trunk at the Dundee police station. His positioning of the body should therefore be viewed as a public display, as he expected others to view the body.
There is conflicting evidence regarding whether or not Ellen Bury's murder was planned. The murder weapon, a piece of rope or cord obtained from provision merchant Janet Martin, was obtained within days of and possibly on the same day as the murder, which suggests the possibility of preplanning. However William Bury and Ellen Bury had only just moved into their Princes Street address in Dundee, and William Bury was obtaining items for the residence on a daily basis from Martin and shopkeeper Marjory Smith. It is therefore possible that the piece of rope was obtained for some other purpose, but used by William Bury to commit the murder. In his letter of confession, written just days prior to his execution, William Bury insisted, "I admit that it was by my own hands that my wife Ellen Bury met with her death on 4th Feb in the house 113 Princes Street Dundee by Strangulation. But I solemnly state before God as a dying man that I had no intention of doing so before the deed was done" (17). There is no compelling basis to disregard William Bury's statement. In addition, William Bury appears to have stayed with Ellen Bury's body for days before reporting her death to the police, which suggests that the murder was not planned and that he was unsure about what action to take in order to escape from his predicament. An unexpected murder would have led to poor escape options and would explain William Bury's decision to attempt to talk his way out of a murder charge by approaching the police, as, based on Lt. Parr's trial testimony, Bury clearly feared that flight from the crime scene could have led to a national manhunt for him as Jack the Ripper. Research on serial killers demonstrates that a given signature characteristic may not be present in every murder in a series due to situational differences among the murders. If Ellen Bury's murder grew out of an argument, that would explain the absence of preplanning.
Table 2: Signature Comparison of the Martha Tabram and Ellen Bury Murders
|Signature Characteristic
|Martha Tabram
|Ellen Bury
|Body displayed for others
|Unusual body position
|Sexually degrading position
|Removal of organs/body parts
|Genital trauma
[Note. According to Chief Inspector Donald Swanson (33), there was an external injury to Martha Tabram's genital area (the injury was described as occurring on the private parts). This was an incised wound. It was three inches long, one inch deep, and was inflicted with a knife. This single injury hits the three signature characteristics of genital trauma (the genital area being one of the body areas targeted in the Jack the Ripper series), mutilation and picquerism. Also, Dr Timothy Killeen, who examined Martha Tabram's body, does not appear to have expressed an opinion on the presence of overkill.]
William Bury's signature is a close match with the signature of Jack the Ripper. The differences that exist can be attributed to William Bury's need to conceal his identity as Jack the Ripper and to the possibility that the murder of Ellen Bury was unexpected and arose out of a quarrel. The information obtained from the HITS database and the absence of any other known Victorian murders containing Jack the Ripper's specific combination of signature characteristics suggest that Jack the Ripper's signature is extremely rare and that there is therefore a very high probability that William Bury was either a copycat killer or Jack the Ripper. A copycat explanation of Bury can be easily dismissed. He did not cut Ellen Bury's throat and he did not abandon her body. He did not go to the police with a story that Jack the Ripper had murdered his wife. Further, two of the signature characteristics linking the Ellen Bury murder to the Jack the Ripper murders (incapacitation and the sexually degrading posing of the body) are subtle and not things a copycat would be expected to reproduce. The suggestion that William Bury's relatively minor mutilations of Ellen Bury could constitute an incomplete and abandoned attempt to attribute the murder to Jack the Ripper can also be dismissed. The main set of mutilations was conducted around the time of death, in the heat of the moment, and was part of the murder sequence itself. These mutilations could not have been part of a posthomicide effort to disguise his identity as the murderer. In addition, two subsequent mutilations, conducted after the time of death, as well as other later behaviors linking William Bury to the Jack the Ripper murders, such as the sexually degrading posing of Ellen Bury's body in the trunk, are inconsistent with the abandonment of an effort to implicate Jack the Ripper. What remains, then, is the very high probability that William Bury was Jack the Ripper. Describing a very high probability falls short of making a positive identification. What rules out the possibility that the signature match was a coincidence and that William Bury was not Jack the Ripper is the list of corroborating pieces of circumstantial evidence.
William Bury lived in the East End, in Bow, at the time of the Jack the Ripper murders. While it would have been a significant walk from Bow to the Jack the Ripper murder locations, Bury owned a horse and cart in connection with his work as a self-employed sawdust merchant and so the Whitechapel area would have been within easy striking distance for him. His work "would have given him a good knowledge of East London" (18). At Bury's trial, his former employer, James Martin, provided testimony which indicated that Bury was indeed spending time in Whitechapel in 1888.
William Bury was involved with prostitutes. He had lived at a brothel, he contracted venereal disease in all likelihood from a prostitute, and he married a prostitute (19). The Jack the Ripper murder spree began just months after William Bury contracted venereal disease, raising the possibility of an anger or revenge motive being at least partially responsible for the murders (20).
Eyewitness descriptions must be treated with caution, as they often contain inaccuracies, however there are important connection points between William Bury and many of the ones that exist. William Bury was 5'3½" "in his boots" (21), and wearing a hat, he would have been over 5'4″. This would put him just a few inches taller than Annie Chapman and Catherine Eddowes, who were both wearing boots and headgear when they were murdered, and would therefore align him with the height estimates provided by Elizabeth Long and Joseph Levy. At a little over 5'4", Bury would also align well with the 5'5" height estimates provided by Israel Schwartz and Caroline Maxwell. William Bury had a dark complexion (22) and dark brown hair (23), but he had a "fair moustache" (24) and his facial hair was described as "light sandy-coloured" (25). Long and Maxwell both described a man who was "dark" and Lawende a man whose moustache was "fair" (26) and "inclining to be sandy" (27). Long described a man "who appeared to be a foreigner" (28) and William Bury was described by a contemporary observer as having "features somewhat of the Jewish or Semitic type" when viewed from the side (29). William Bury was 29 at the time of the Jack the Ripper murders, which would make him a good fit with the age estimates provided by Schwartz, Lawende and Maxwell. It is true that Elizabeth Long thought that the man she saw was over 40, but she did not have a good look at his face and it is not unusual for eyewitnesses to make mistakes with age estimates.
William Bury had struck Ellen Bury with a punch or blow to the face in public places on more than one occasion, and so assaulting a woman in a public place was within his demonstrated range of behavior. Women's trinkets, including necklets, a thimble and two finger rings "of very inferior metal" (30) were found in a trunk that William Bury kept locked. Ellen Bury wore good jewelry (31) and it is not reasonable to believe that the necklets and finger rings belonged to Ellen. The thimble did not apparently belong to Ellen Bury either, as no associated pins or needles were found (32). William Bury kept this trunk locked, even though he had no apparent reason for doing so. While it cannot be proven that these trinkets came from the victims in the Jack the Ripper murder series, two finger rings had been taken from Annie Chapman by her killer and no thimble had been found with her body, even though she would have been expected to own one due to the character of some of her work (33), so the cache of items in Bury's trunk is consistent with that scenario.
The Goulston Street Graffito was written in a schoolboy hand. At Bury's trial, his sister-in-law, Margaret Corney, testified that Bury could write in "several hands." Two chalked messages ("Jack Ripper is in this seller" and "Jack Ri(p)per is at the back of this door" ), written in two different, youthful hands and possibly written by William Bury were found at the back of his residence in Dundee following Ellen's murder. Like the Goulston Street Graffito, where "Jews" was misspelled as "Juwes," one of the messages contained a single egregious spelling mistake ("cellar" was misspelled as "seller," possibly in an attempt to simulate a schoolboy's inability to correctly spell words). We know from Bury's handwriting samples that he would indeed deliberately misspell words (Bury deliberately misspelled "Ogilvy" as "Egilvy" on one occasion in the document that he forged to persuade Ellen to move with him to Dundee). The messages chalked at the back of Bury's residence also have the same markedly vertical structure as the Goulston Street Graffito in the transcription that was made by Police Commissioner Charles Warren. William Bury did not remain in his residence at all times following Ellen Bury's murder. If Bury had become concerned about schoolboys possibly breaking into the back of his residence and discovering Ellen's body while he was away, he could have chalked these messages in order to scare them off. It's further worth noting that in William Bury's handwriting samples there are many instances in which he capitalizes a word that would not normally be capitalized, and in the Goulston Street Graffito a word is capitalized that would not normally be capitalized ("blamed" in the Warren transcription).
Finally, William Bury engaged in the posthomicide behavior of burning some of the victim's clothing in the fireplace, which parallels what occurred at the Kelly crime scene (34). This was not an attempt to destroy all of Ellen Bury's bloodstained clothing, as Ellen's bloodstained ulster was found inside the trunk containing her body. By itself this is a devastating piece of corroborating evidence.
While the significance of most of these pieces of circumstantial evidence can be individually questioned, there are too many of them in accumulation to entertain the possibility that the close signature match between the Ellen Bury murder and the Jack the Ripper murders could have been a coincidence. We can therefore now confidently identify William Bury as Jack the Ripper.
Appendix: The Copycat Murder of Alice McKenzie
The Victorian murder that seems closest to Jack the Ripper's signature is the murder of Alice McKenzie, which occurred in July, 1889, three months after William Bury's execution. The McKenzie murder fails to include the signature characteristic of incapacitation. Jack the Ripper was a murderer who quickly subdued and silenced his victims. The person who murdered Alice McKenzie was the exact opposite of that. Dr George Bagster Phillips, who examined McKenzie's body, wrote that there was "no physiological reason why the woman should not have uttered a cry" (35). In addition, the signature characteristic of overkill is not present. Alice McKenzie's mutilations were relatively mild. Keppel et al. noted the gradual increase in severity of the mutilations during the course of the Jack the Ripper series (36). While William Bury had a strong and obvious situational incentive to significantly deescalate his mutilations of Ellen Bury, Alice McKenzie's murderer does not appear to have had any such incentive. Finally, Keppel et al. pointed out that the sexually degrading posing of the body became more blatant as the Jack the Ripper series progressed (37). While the posing of Ellen Bury's body fits with that progression, the posing of Alice McKenzie's body, which simply consisted of the drawing up of her clothes (McKenzie's body was found lying on its side), does not. The Alice McKenzie murder was a copycat murder and was not the work of Jack the Ripper.

Horse trainers have a major influence on the out come of any race, after all, it's the horse trainers job to bring its charge up to peak fitness if it is to win any race.
In the racing press a Trainer is said to be "inform" or the "Stable is on fire" with winners, conversely a Trainer is said to be "out of form" with a low percentage of winners to runners ratio.
But what is form in regard to a Stable and its runners?
When I first became interested in horse racing I heard the terms mentioned above bounded around all the time (as it still is today) and I excepted the perceived wisdom that to measure a trainers form one had to look to its winners to runners ratio, any trainer with a healthy winning percentage must be in form whilst those Trainers with a low strike rate must be out of form. There is a good deal of truth in the above statement but there is also a massive grey area that a simple approach such as a winning percentage can often hide.
As an example lets take the recent form of 2 Stables, Stable A and Stable B.
Stable A has had 20 runners and 6 winners, 30% strike rate. Stable B also had 20 runners but only 2 winners, 10% strike rate.
On face value Stable A looks to be in much better form, but is it a true representation of the actual form?
Some Questions to ask.... Did one trainer have better horses from the yard running recently whilst the other had runners at the poorer end of his Stable? Were the horses themselves in good recent form whilst the majority of the other Trainers horses were coming back from a brake off the track?
Did the betting market indicate that one trainer had winners/runners that had good chances on form to win their races whilst the other Trainer had runners with little chance on form?
Often a quick look at the recent winners from a Stable will reveal that the winners had decent chances on form anyway and the losers had less of a chance on form. The Starting Price (SP) is a good indicator of form, the majority of winners come from the first 3 in the betting market.
A little time spent on this angle may well reveal a Trainer that at first sight appears out of form but closer scrutiny reveals otherwise.
