Russell Edwards, an expert on Jack the Ripper, joins Karen Conti to discuss how the identity of the famed serial killer was discovered. A process that took more than a decade, Edwards got his breakthrough piece of genetic evidence from a shawl.

La figura de Jack el destripador ha sido objeto de libros y películas por la intriga que causa el personaje que, todavía, 136 años después sigue siendo todo un enigma. Jack el Destripador es probablemente el asesino en serie que más ha llamado la atención a través de los tiempos. La verdadera identidad de este personaje de la historia criminal no ha llegado a desvelarse nunca. Pero, ¿se ha descubierto ya la identidad de este asesino en serie? Russell Edwards es un investigador que ha dedicado buena parte de su vida a descifrar el enigma de quién era en realidad Jack el Destripador. Su conclusión es que el asesino es Aaron Kosminski, un barbero que ya fue sospechoso de ser este criminal. Y, ¿en qué se basa? La realidad es que se encontró un chal en el lugar del crimen de Catherine Eddowes en 1888. Catherine fue una de las víctimas de Jack el destripador. Y Edwards consiguió hacerse con ese chal al que le hizo pruebas de ADN cuyos resultados coinciden con los descendientes de Kosminski. ¿Entonces se conoce o no la identidad de Jack el Destripador? Ángela Casals, directora del Grado en Ciencias Criminológicas y de la Seguridad de la Universidad San Pablo CEU aporta las claves para responder a este enigma.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Russell Edwards is the author of "Naming Jack the Ripper". Edwards, originally from Birkenhead, has after years of dedicated research produced what he calls "the definitive evidence to prove the identity of the world's most famous murderer: Jack the Ripper" thanks to modern DNA testing. Through this we will look into the names of suspects and how Russell used modern DNA testing to conclude the real Killers name. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

Russell Edwards joins us this week as we take a look at his flying activities in the F3A pattern scene. Russell is a well known F3A competitor in Australia and abroad, having competed across Europe and in multiple world championship events. We discuss his start in model flying and venture into his full-size gliding activity.

Once upon a time, people were computers. It's probably hard to imagine teams of people spending their entire day toiling in large grids of paper, writing numbers and calculating numbers by hand or with mechanical calculators, and then writing more numbers and then repeating that. But that's the way it was before the 1979.  The term spreadsheet comes from back when a spread, like a magazine spread, of ledger cells for bookkeeping. There's a great scene in the Netflix show Halston where a new guy is brought in to run the company and he's flying through an electro-mechanical calculator. Halston just shuts the door. Ugh. Imagine doing what we do in a spreadsheet in minutes today by hand. Even really large companies jump over into a spreadsheet to do financial projections today - and with trendlines, tweaking this small variable or that, and even having different algorithms to project the future contents of a cell - the computerized spreadsheet is one of the most valuable business tools ever built. It's that instant change we see when we change one set of numbers and can see the impact down the line.  Even with the advent of mainframe computers accounting and finance teams had armies of people who calculated spreadsheets by hand, building complicated financial projections. If the formulas changed then it could take days or weeks to re-calculate and update every cell in a workbook. People didn't experiment with formulas. Computers up to this point had been able to calculate changes and provided all the formulas were accurate could output results onto punch cards or printers. But the cost had been in the millions before Digital Equipment and Data Nova came along and had dropped into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars  The first computerized spreadsheets weren't instant. Richard Mattessich developed an electronic, batch spreadsheet in 1961. He'd go on to write a book called “Simulation of the Firm Through a Budget Computer Program.” His work was more theoretical in nature, but IBM developed the Business Computer Language, or BCL the next year. What IBM did got copied by their seven dwarves. former GE employees Leroy Ellison, Harry Cantrell, and Russell Edwards developed AutoPlan/AutoTab, another scripting language for spreadsheets, following along delimited files of numbers. And in 1970 we got LANPAR which opened up more than reading files in from sequential, delimited sources. But then everything began to change. Harvard student Dan Bricklin graduated from MIT and went to work for Digital Equipment Corporation to work on an early word processor called WPS-8. We were now in the age of interactive computing on minicomputers. He then went to work for FasFax in 1976 for a year, getting exposure to calculating numbers. And then he went off to Harvard in 1977 to get his MBA. But while he was at Harvard he started working on one of the timesharing programs to help do spreadsheet analysis and wrote his own tool that could do five columns and 20 rows. Then he met Bob Frankston and they added Dan Fylstra, who thought it should be able to run on an Apple - and so they started Software Arts Corporation. Frankston got the programming bug while sitting in on a class during junior high. He then got his undergrad and Masters at MIT, where he spent 9 years in school and working on a number of projects with CSAIL, including Multics. He'd been consulting and working at various companies for awhile in the Boston area, which at the time was probably the major hub. Frankston and Bricklin would build a visible calculator using 16k of space and that could fit on a floppy. They used a time sharing system and because they were paying for time, they worked at nights when time was cheaper, to save money. They founded a company called Software Arts and named their Visual Calculator VisiCalc. Along comes the Apple II. And computers were affordable. They ported the software to the platform and it was an instant success. It grew fast. Competitors sprung up. SuperCalc in 1980, bundled with the Osborne. The IBM PC came in 1981 and the spreadsheet appeared in Fortune for the first time. Then the cover of Inc Magazine in 1982. Publicity is great for sales and inspiring competitors. Lotus 1-2-3 came in 1982 and even Boeing Computer Services got in the game with Boeing Calc in 1985. They extended the ledger metaphor to add sheets to the spreadsheet, which we think of as tabs today. Quattro Pro from Borland copied that feature and despite having their offices effectively destroyed during an earthquake just before release, came to market in 1989. Ironically they got the idea after someone falsely claimed they were making a spreadsheet a few years earlier. And so other companies were building Visible Calculators and adding new features to improve on the spreadsheet concept. Microsoft was one who really didn't make a dent in sales at first. They released an early spreadsheet tool called Multiple in 1982. But Lotus 1-2-3 was the first killer application for the PC.  It was more user friendly and didn't have all the bugs that had come up in VisiCalc as it was ported to run on platform after platform. Lotus was started by Mitch Kapor who brought Jonathan Sachs in to develop the spreadsheet software. Kapor's marketing prowess would effectively obsolete VisiCalc in a number of environments. They made TV commercials so you know they were big time! And they were written natively in the x86 assembly so it was fast. They added the ability to add bar charts, pie charts, and line charts. They added color and printing. One could even spread their sheet across multiple monitors like in a magazine. It was 1- spreadsheets, 2 - charts and graphs and 3 - basic database functions. Heck, one could even change the size of cells and use it as a text editor. Oh, and macros would become a standard in spreadsheets after Lotus. And because VisiCalc had been around so long, Lotus of course was immediately capable of reading a VisiCalc file when released in 1983. As could Microsoft Excel, when it came along in 1985. And even Boeing Calc could read Lotus 1-2-3 files. After all, the concept went back to those mainframe delimited files and to this day we can import and export to tab or comma delimited files. VisiCalc had sold about a million copies but that would cease production the same year Excel was released, although the final release had come in 1983. Lotus had eaten their shorts in the market, and Borland had watched. Microsoft was about to eat both of theirs. Why? Visi was about to build a windowing system called Visi-On. And Steve Jobs needed a different vendor to turn to. He looked to Lotus who built a tool called Jazz that was too basic. But Microsoft had gone public in 1985 and raised plenty of money, some of which they used to complete Excel for the Mac that year. Their final release in 1983 began to fade away And so Excel began on the Mac and that first version was the first graphical spreadsheet. The other developers didn't think that a GUI was gonna' be much of a thing. Maybe graphical interfaces were a novelty! Version two was released for the PC in 1987 along with Windows 2.0. Sales were slow at first. But then came Windows 3. Add Microsoft Word to form Microsoft Office and by the time Windows 95 was released Microsoft became the de facto market leader in documents and spreadsheets. That's the same year IBM bought Lotus and they continued to sell the product until 2013, with sales steadily declining. And so without a lot of competition for Microsoft Excel, spreadsheets kinda' sat for a hot minute. Computers became ubiquitous. Microsoft released new versions for Mac and Windows but they went into that infamous lost decade until… competition. And there were always competitors, but real competition with something new to add to the mix. Google bought a company called 2Web Technologies in 2006, who made a web-based spreadsheet called XL2WEB. That would become Google Sheets. Google bought DocVerse in 2010 and we could suddenly have multiple people editing a sheet concurrently - and the files were compatible with Excel. By 2015 there were a couple million users of Google Workspace, growing to over 5 million in 2019 and another million in 2020. In the years since, Microsoft released Office 365, starting to move many of their offerings onto the web. That involved 60 million people in 2015 and has since grown to over 250 million. The statistics can be funny here, because it's hard to nail down how many free vs paid Google and Microsoft users there are. Statista lists Google as having a nearly 60% market share but Microsoft is clearly making more from their products. And there are smaller competitors all over the place taking on lots of niche areas. There are a few interesting tidbits here. One is that the tools that there's a clean line of evolution in features. Each new tool worked better, added features, and they all worked with previous file formats to ease the transition into their product. Another is how much we've all matured in our understanding of data structures. I mean we have rows and columns. And sometimes multiple sheets - kinda' like multiple tables in a database. Our financial modeling and even scientific modeling has grown in acumen by leaps and bounds.  Many still used those electro-mechanical calculators in the 70s when you could buy calculator kits and build your own calculator. Those personal computers that flowed out in the next few years gave every business the chance to first track basic inventory and calculate simple information, like how much we might expect in revenue from inventory in stock to now thousands of pre-built formulas that are supported across most spreadsheet tooling. Despite expensive tools and apps to do specific business functions, the spreadsheet is still one of the most enduring and useful tools we have. Even for programmers, where we're often just getting our data in a format we can dump into other tools! So think about this. What tools out there have common file types where new tools can sit on top of them? Which of those haven't been innovated on in a hot minute? And of course, what is that next bold evolution? Is it moving the spreadsheet from a book to a batch process? Or from a batch process to real-time? Or from real-time to relational with new tabs? Or to add a GUI? Or adding online collaboration? Or like some big data companies using machine learning to analyze the large data sets and look for patterns automatically?  Not only does the spreadsheet help us do the maths - it also helps us map the technological determinism we see repeated through nearly every single tool for any vertical or horizontal market. Those stuck need disruptive competitors if only to push them off the laurels they've been resting on. 

Monday night was the return of D’Angelo Russell after a two-month knee injury. The news came out of nowhere, and just before we found out that Malik Beasley will be out for the next 4-6 weeks with a hamstring injury. On today’s pod, we focus on how the new-look Wolves look and fared with DLo back in the rotation and then dug into Anthony Edwards’ case for Rookie of the Year over Tyrese Haliburton. - Russell playing almost exclusively alongside another point guard (Ricky Rubio or Jordan McLaughlin) and the importance of finding “Off-Ball DLo” - The impact of how Russell is used on Edwards - What does Edwards need to do the rest of the season to win Rookie of the Year over Haliburton? - How many GMs would take Haliburton over Edwards if we re-drafted the 2020 class today? Sign up for Dane's Patreon ($5 a month) at: Patreon.com/DaneMooreNBA

With D’Angelo Russell out for the next four-to-six weeks, it’s time for the full-on Anthony Edwards experience. No Russell means Edwards will take the reigns as the Timberwolves’ primary playmaker, and it might change everything. We discuss on today’s pod, with topics including: - Why Russell being out will be the best thing for Edwards’ development as a playmaker. In the four games since Karl-Anthony Towns has returned — all of which have come without Russell — Edwards is averaging 19.5 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game while shooting 57% from 2 and 32% from 3. - How Ricky Rubio will be an important character in this next chapter It will be time to test the rationale for bringing in Rubio. Can he grow Edwards like he did Donovan Mitchell in Utah? - Why it might be time to begin considering a KAT-less window down the road where Edwards is “the guy” if/when KAT decides to move on

In the first episode of the ProAm Podcast, hosts Daniel Jennings, Thomas Fortier, Lucas Sellem and Russell Edwards discuss the James Harden trade situation, our predictions for the 2021 NBA season and our current top 10s.

WINNER - Indie Reader Award for Best True Crime BookWINNER - Independent Publisher (IPPY) Bronze Medal Award for Best History Book 2014FINALIST - Indie Excellence Award for Best True Crime Book (second place)*Jack the Ripper stalked the streets of London’s East End from August through November of 1888 in what is dubbed the ‘Autumn of Terror’. However, the grisly ripping of Polly Nichols on August 31st was not the first unsolved murder of the year. The April murder of Emma Smith and the August murder of Martha Tabram both occurred on bank holidays. They baffled the police and press alike and were assumed by the original investigators to have been the first murders in the series. Were they correct? In this provocative work of literary archeology, author Tom Wescott places these early murders in their proper historical context and digs to unearth new evidence and hard facts not seen in over 125 years. The Bank Holiday Murders is the only book of its kind. It eschews the tired approach of unsatisfying ‘final solutions’ in favor of solid research, logical reasoning and new information. The clues followed are not drawn from imagination but from the actual police reports and press accounts of the time. The questions asked by Wescott are ones first suggested by the original investigators but lost to time until now. The answers provided are compelling and sometimes explosive. Among the revelations are:The true history of the 'Eddowes Shawl' or 'Ripper Shawl' discussed in the new book 'Naming Jack the Ripper' by Russell Edwards. New information linking the murders of Smith & Tabram to the same killer(s).Proof that the police did not believe key witnesses in either case. Proof that at least one of these witnesses was working with the murderer.New evidence connecting many of the victims that may lead to their actual slayers.Information on Emily Horsnell, the ACTUAL first Whitechapel murder victim.The hidden truth of ‘Leather Apron’ and its role in unraveling the Ripper mystery.Proof of a corrupt police sergeant who thwarted the investigation. Was he protecting the Ripper?Much more.The Bank Holiday Murders: The True Story of the First Whitechapel Murders brings us closer than ever to the actual truth behind the Jack the Ripper story and is sure to appeal to fans of Paul Begg, Stewart P. Evans, Philip Sugden, Donald Rumbelow, Ann Rule, Patricia Cornwell (Chasing the Ripper) as well as readers of Victorian true crime, true life mysteries and historical cold cases in genera See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After 125 years of theorizing and speculation regarding the identity of Jack the Ripper, Russell Edwards is in the unique position of owning the first physical evidence relating to the crimes to have emerged since 1888.

After 130 years, do we finally know the identity of Jack the Ripper? Unfortunately, no. After releasing test results of a controversial silk shawl stained with blood and, possibly, semen, supposedly found at the scene of one of the Ripper killings, forensic scientists are pointing the finger at Aaron Kosminski, a 23-year-old Polish barber in London who was one of the first suspects identified by London police in the Ripper case. But like all elements in the Jack the Ripper saga, the evidence they’re offering is not able to close the book on the string of murders that terrorized the London streets of 1888.The case for the barber’s unmasking is tied to the shawl alleged to have been found next to Catherine Eddowes, the Ripper’s fourth victim. As David Adam at Science reports, the cloth was acquired by Ripper enthusiast Russell Edwards in 2007, who had it DNA tested. While Edwards published the results in his 2014 book, Naming Jack the Ripper, he kept the DNA results and methods under wraps, making it impossible to assess or verify the claims of Kosminski as Ripper. Now, the biochemists who ran those tests, Jari Louhelainen of John Moores University in Liverpool and David Miller of the University of Leeds, have published the data in the Journal of Forensic Sciences.Read more: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/jack-rippers-dna-collected-shawl-though-doubts-linger-180971726/#lOSCbt1xrCrGpr6z.99Give the gift of Smithsonian magazine for only $12! http://bit.ly/1cGUiGvFollow us: @SmithsonianMag on Twitter See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Godox ES600P - Joseph's "Pack & Head" strobe that he tried to walk around with all wedding day First off...don't judge! The photos on the left are all from Russell's first "pro" shoots in 2009. Russell's early work attempted to replicate what he saw coming out of Seattle and Tacoma, Washington at the time. Photographers like Benj Haish, Sergio Mottola, and Sean Flanigan were innovative in the mid-naughts. Using Tilt-Shift lenses for portraits, attempting digital film emulation, and completely breaking traditional compositional rules. In these early days of Russell's photography career he lacked a strong technical knowledge of gear and image processing (it shows) and experience at working with people. His pun skills were also pretty weak.  The photos on the right are attempts at pairing Russell's more recent work to illustrate both the influence of the beginnings and establishing the importance of experience (and of course gear!!!). This photo is one that Duy delivered to his friends after their wedding he attended as a guest. It was after this that he thought it might be possible to make a little bit of extra cash on the side shooting weddings for people who couldn't afford experienced pros. This B-list guest photo turned out to be the catalyst that would spark a passionate hobby onto a transformative path into a new career. He just didn't realize it at the time. The photos on the left are of Duy's first engagement shoot and then a couple from his first wedding. At the time, Duy just browsed generic wedding photographers who were on the more documentary side of things. Not particularly influenced by specific photographers, he set out to try to just do a passable job. It wasn't until after the wedding that he'd discover the likes of wedding superstars like Anna Kuperberg, Ben Chrisman and Fer Juaristi--all of whom continue to inspire him today. The photos on the right represent some of his latest "equivalent" photos which evolved after he finally understood moments, lighting, and composition. And of course becoming a Maximalist Photographer with too much stuff. Aw, who are we kidding, there's no such thing as too much stuff. More is more.

This week the guys treat their studio audience to some tales of their photographic workflows and lots of software goodies. Along the way, they learn us a thing-or-two on anti-aliasing and make a deep dive into the snack habits of a 90's tween. You won't want to miss a minute good of natured jabs and punning out with The Maximalist.

Have you been lying awake at night asking yourself endless questions since Sony released their new “game changing”-mirrorless-megapixel-behemoth? Questions such as: What do three photographers whom I've never heard of think about this tiny new razzle-dazzle photo box? Or why don't people reference the movie Ghost as frequently anymore? And is white wine any good? You're in luck – because you'll sleep easy after we answer these deep burning questions on the first edition of THE MAXIMALIST. And yes, we are aware that the last sentence suggests that you'll find the show very boring. We're intentionally leaving that vague to add some spice to our relationship. Did it work?
