paragraph: Ankhnesneferibre

paragraph: Ankhnesneferibre was an ancient Egyptian princess and priestess during the 26th Dynasty, daughter of pharaoh Psamtik II and his queen Takhuit. She held the positions of Divine Adoratrice of Amun and later God's Wife of Amun between 595 and 525 BC, during the reigns of Psamtik II, Apries, Amasis II and Psamtik III, until the Achaemenid conquest of Egypt.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: in 595 BC, Ankhnesneferibre was dispatched to Thebes to be adopted by the God's Wife of Amun Nitocris I, as a stela from Karnak records. Ankhnesneferibre held the position of Divine Adoratrice until Nitocris' death in pharaoh Apries' regnal Year 4 (586 BC), after which she became the new God's Wife. She governed at Thebes for several decades until 525 BC, when the Persian emperor Cambyses II defeated Psamtik III and conquered Egypt, putting an end to the 26th Dynasty and the positions of Divine Adoratrice of Amun and God's Wife of Amun. After this date, Ankhnesneferibre disappeared from history as the last God's Wife, as did her likely successor, the Divine Adoratrice Nitocris II. As with many of her predecessors, Ankhnesneferibre's tomb is located within the temple of Medinet Habu.

paragraph: For Ankhnesneferibre several attestations are known, above all a statue depicting her now exhibited at the Nubian Museum of Aswan (CG 42205), and her black basalt sarcophagus which was subsequently reused in Deir el-Medina during the Ptolemaic period by a man named Pymentu, and which is today located in the British Museum.

paragraph: Thondaradippodi Alvar

paragraph: Thondaradippodi Alvar or Vipra Narayana is one of the twelve "azhwar" saints of South India, who are known for their affiliation to Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism. The verses of "azhwars" are compiled as "Nalayira Divya Prabandham" and the 108 temples revered are classified as "Divya desam". Thondaripodi is considered the tenth in the line of the twelve azhwars.

paragraph: As per Hindu legend, he was born as Vipra Narayana and got devoted to Ranganatha of the Srirangam Ranganathaswamy temple. Since he worshipped even the dust from the devotees of Ranganatha, he attained the name Thondaradipodi.

paragraph: His works are the "Tiruppalli Ezuchi" having ten verses and "Tirumaalai " having forty verses, both of which are counted among the 4000 stanzas in the "Nalayira Divya Prabandam". The works of Thondaradipodi and other azhwars contributed to the philosophical and theological ideas of Vaishnavism. Along with the three Saiva nayanmars, they influenced the ruling Pallava kings of the South Indian region, resulting in changing the religious geography from Buddhism and Jainism to the two sects of Hinduism.

paragraph: In South-Indian Vishnu temples, Thondaradipodi azhwar has images and festivals associated with him. The Vasantha Utsavam festival is celebrated in Srirangam and for nine days in the garden believed to have been maintained by him. The verses of Thondaripodi and other azhwars are recited as a part of daily prayers and during festive occasions in most Vishnu temples in South India.

paragraph: Section::::Azhwars.

paragraph: The word "azhwar" means the one who dives deep into the ocean of the countless attributes of god. "Azhwars" are considered the twelve supreme devotees of Vishnu, who were instrumental in popularising Vaishnavism during the 5th to 8th centuries AD. The religious works of these saints in Tamil, songs of love and devotion, are compiled as "Nalayira Divya Prabandham" containing 4000 verses and the 108 temples revered in their songs are classified as "Divya desam". The saints had different origins and belonged to different castes. As per tradition, the first three "azhwars", Poigai, Bhutha and Pei were born miraculously. Bhaktisara was the son of a sage, Thondaradi, Mathurakavi, Vishuchitta and Andal were from brahmin community, Kulasekhara from "Kshatria" community, Nammazhvar was from a cultivator family, Tirupanar from "panar" community and Tirumangaiyazhvar from "kazhwar" community. "Divya Suri Carita" by Garuda-Vahana Pandita (11th century AD), "Guruparamparaprabavam" by Pinbaragiya Perumal Jiyar, "Periya tiru mudi adaivu" by Kovil Kandadai Appan, "Yatindra Pranava Prabavam" by Pillai Lokam Jeeyar, commentaries on "Divya Prabandam", Guru Parampara (lineage of Gurus) texts, temple records and inscriptions give a detailed account of the "azhwars" and their works. According to these texts, the saints were considered incarnations of some form of Vishnu. Poigai is considered an incarnation of "Panchajanya" (Krishna's conch), Bhootham of "Kaumodakee" (Vishnu's Mace/Club), Pey of "Nandaka" (Vishnu's sword), Bhaktisara of "Sudarshana" (Vishnu's discus), Nammazhvar of "Vishvaksena" (Vishnu's commander), Madhurakavi of "Vainatheya" (Vishnu's eagle, Garuda), Kulasekhara of "Kaustubha" (Vishnu's necklace), Periy of Garuda (Vishnu's eagle), Andal of Bhoodevi (Vishnu's wife, Lakshmi, in her form as Bhudevi), Thondaradippodi of "Vanamaalai" (Vishnu's garland), Thiruppaanaazhvar of "Srivatsa" (An auspicious mark on Vishnu's chest) and Thirumangai of "Saranga" (Rama's bow). The songs of "Prabandam" are regularly sung in all the Vishnu temples of South India daily and also during festivals.

paragraph: According to traditional account by Manavala Mamunigal, the first three "azhwars" namely Poigai, Bhoothath and Pey belong to "Dwapara Yuga" (before 4200 BC). It is widely accepted by tradition and historians that the trio are the earliest among the twelve "azhwars". Along with the three Saiva nayanmars, they influenced the ruling Pallava kings, creating a Bhakti movement that resulted in changing the religious geography from Buddhism and Jainism to these two sects of Hinduism in the region. The "azhwars" were also instrumental in promoting the Bhagavatha cult and the two epics of India, namely, "Ramayana" and "Mahabaratha". The "azhwars" were instrumental in spreading "Vaishnavism" throughout the region. The verses of the various "azhwars" were compiled by Nathamuni (824-924 AD), a 10th-century Vaishnavite theologian, who called it the "Tamil Veda".

paragraph: Section::::Birth and early life.

paragraph: Thondaradippodi Alvar was born in a small village by name Thirumandangudi Chola region in Prabhava year, Margazhi month, Krishna chaturthi, Tuesday in Kettai (Jyestha) Nakshatram (star). His father ‘Veda Visaradhar’ belonged to "Kudumi Sozhiyap Brahmanar" community also called as "Vipra" people, whose routine work is to praise about Sri Vishnu. On the 12th day after his birth, he was named as "Vipra Narayanar". From an early age, bhakti towards Sri Vishnu was taught to him. He grew up with a well rounded personality. It is said that in spite of being good and beautiful and dedicated to Sri Vishnu bhakti, he had no conceit and treated all the aged persons and persons who are younger to him in the same way and gave proper respect to them.

paragraph: As per Hindu legend, he was under the influence of a prostitute, whose mother stole all the money of Vipra Narayanan. When he was need of money, Vishnu came in his rescue and showered gold in him. He became a staunch devotee of Ranganatha of Sriranganathaswamy temple. He constructed a big Nandhavanam (flower park) in Srirangam, where various beautiful and fragrance flower plants are grown. He worshipped all the bhaktas of Sri Vishnu and put the podi (Small tiny dust particles), which is found under the feet of them in his head and sang songs in praise of Sri Ranganathar. From then, he was called as "Thondaradipodi Alwar".

paragraph: Section::::Literary works.

paragraph: He composed "Tirumaalai" comprising 45 verses and "Tiruppalli Ezuchi" comprising 10 verses. The verses of "Tirupalli Ezhuchi" are sung for waking up Rangantha, with the verses beginning with "votary bearing the dust of the god's feet". All his verses are in praise of Ranganatha, the presiding deity of the Srirangam Ranganathaswamy temple. Thondaradipodi vehemently opposes the caste system prevalent during his times and mentions that the ultimate way to reach Vishnu is through service to him and his devotees. He believed that Ranganatha is none other than Krishna himself and he has captured his soul. He uses the phrase "Prospering indolents" in his 38th verse meaning the devotees of Vishnu who left their corporal body in earth, but merged their soul to god. His verse starting with "Pachaimamalai pol meni" is the most popular verse and commonly chanted in all Vishnu temples during day-to-day worship and during festivals. The verses of "Tirupalli Ezhuchi" was first sung in the Srirangam temple and the azhwar gives Ranganatha a wake-up call describing how the inmates of earth come here to watch Ranganatha rise at dawn.

paragraph: Section::::Culture.

paragraph: The birthday of the Azhwar is celebrated twice in a year in the Srirangam temple during the birth star in the Tamil month of "Margazhi". The Vasantha utsavam is a nine-day festival celebrated during the Tamil month of "Vaikasi" (May-June) when Ranganatha, the presiding deity of the temple enjoys the ambience of the garden created by the azhwar. As per a Hindu legend, Thirumangai Azhwar, who built the surrounding walls of the Srirangam temple, left the garden untouched, though it blocked the path of the wall. Spring signifies a period that brings cool breeze in the evenings and new flowers blossom. As per Hindu legend, when Jothista Homam, a penance, when done during the period, helps devotees attain "moksha". It is believed that one devotees are liberated from his curse if they drink the sacred water of Vishnu during the festival. During the mid of 15th century during the Vijayanagara rule, the Vasantha Mandapam was built inside the garden for the festive image to spend the evenings during the festival. Every evening during the festival, the festival image of Ranganatha is brought to the garden. In earlier centuries, the Devadasi Community in Srirangam, offered dance performance in front of the festive images of the temple in the Vasantha Mandapam during the festival. The practise is discontinued in the temple, but a practise is still continued at the Puri Jagannath temple. Vasanthotsavam is one of the three festivals of the temple when Ranganathar goes back to his sanctum led by the a set of men singing "Divya Prabhandam" and also makes a pass by through the Ranganayagi shrine. During the festival, the festival image of Ranganatha is taken in a procession on a horse mount around the four Chitirai streets of Srirangam. A special ablution performed for the festive image at the Vasantha Mandapam concludes the festival.

paragraph: Thirumangai Alvar

paragraph: Thirumangai Alvar, also spelt as Tirumangai Alvar and Thirumangai Mannan is the last of the 12 Alvar saints of south India, who are known for their affiliation to Vaishnava tradition of Hinduism. He is considered one of the most learned Alvar and the most superior Alvar in the context of composition of verses. He holds the title "Narkavi Perumal", the mark of an excellent poet, and "Parakala" (Beyond Time).

paragraph: Though he is respected as a Vaishnava saint-poet, he, initially, worked as a military commander, a chieftain and then a robber. After his conversion to Vaishnavism, he confronted practitioners of rival Hindu sect of Shaivism as well as Buddhism and Jainism.

paragraph: Section::::Dating and hagiography.

paragraph: The traditional date attributed to Thirumangai is year 399 of Kaliyuga, that is 2702 or 2706 BC, making him traditionally the last of the Alvar saints. Modern scholars have placed the Alvars in between 5th to 9th centuries based on few historical evidence. Dr. N. Subba Reddiar summarizes their views and arrives at the date 776 AD for Thirumangai, making him chronologically the eighth Alvar, though even these dates are disputed. Sakkottai Krishnaswami Aiyangar notes he is generally dated to 7th-8th century. Professor of Religion and Asian Studies, James G. Lochtefeld of Carthage College dates Tirumangai to the 9th century. He is generally considered to be a contemporary of Pallava king Nandivarman II as he refers to the later Pallavas in his hymns.

paragraph: The hagiographies detailing the life of Thirumangai and other Alvars are Divya charitam (11th century) and Guruparampara-prabhavam-arayirappadi (13th century) and Guruparampara-prabhavam-muvayirappadi (14th century). Other Vaishnava scholars have written hagiographics based on the above works later.

paragraph: Section::::Early life.

paragraph: Thirumangai was born in Thirukuraiyalur, a small village in Tamil Nadu, in a Mutharaiyar family. Thirumangai's real name was Kaliyan or Kalikanti. Thirumangai's father was Nilam , a general under the Chola empire. He was skilled in archery and worked as a military commander himself for the Chola king. In recognition of his valour, he was conferred upon the title "Parakala" and rewarded a small terrority called Ali Nadu to govern, for his military services. Its capital was Thirumangai. He earned the title "Thirumangai Mannan" or chief of Thirumangai, a name he maintained even when he became a saint.

paragraph: Section::::Married life.

paragraph: According to the traditional account, he fell in love with Kumudavalli, a Vaishnava doctor's adopted daughter at a place Thiruvellakkulam (also known as Annan Kovil). She gave a set of conditions that he must become a Vaishnative and that he must feed a thousand for over a year, everyday. During that process, he was so much attracted to Vaishanvism, that he started constructing temple walls for Srirangam. Unable to bear the heavy expense of feeding a thousand people, Kaliyan resorted to highway robbery. One day, he saw a group of people returning from a marriage, with the bride and groom. He and his assistants were able to get all the loot, but the toe ring from the groom was left. He tried to remove them but could not do so. Then he realised the bridegroom was none other than the Supreme god Vishnu himself. Narayana revealed himself to Kaliyan and transformed him by teaching the "Narayana mantra" or "Ashtaksara" (the eight syllabled) – "namo narayanaya", turning the robber into a saint and starts singing the first verse of Peria Thirumozhi/ Peria Thirumoli (Vaadinen Vaadi).The temple-god of Thirunaraiyur (Naraiyur Nindra Nambi) – a form of Vishnu – is believed to have initiated Thirumangai into Vaishnavism, by teaching him the "pancha samskara".

paragraph: The first ten verses of Thirumangai's poem "Periya Tirumoli" sing of his transformation, after receiving the spiritual knowledge from Vishnu. He sings about his transformation thus:

paragraph: poem

paragraph: I became a thief

paragraph: deceitful and dishonest

paragraph: I wandered hither and thither

paragraph: yet light dawned upon me –

paragraph: I reached Your feet

paragraph: and instantly your grace fell upon me

paragraph: with melting heart and choked voice

paragraph: your praises I sing

paragraph: bathed in streaming tears

paragraph: I repeat day and night

paragraph: the sacred name of Narayana (Vishnu)

paragraph: /poem

paragraph: Section::::As a Vaishnava saint.

paragraph: Transformed by his encounter with God, Thirumangai gave up his chieftainship and became a devout Vaishnava, dedicated to god Vishnu. To atone for his sins, he visited 88 of the Divya Desams, a group of 108 Vishnu shrines primarily in south India. He spread the poems of older Alvars in his wandering. He was also well versed in earlier Tamil literature like Naaladiyar, Thirukkural, Sangam literature and Jain literature.

paragraph: Thirumangai preached against penance and advocated bhakti (devotion) as way to attain salvation. He composed 6 poems in Tamil, together acoounting for 1361 verses. In the book Divya Prabandham, 1361 verses of Thirumangai are included, making them the most composed by any Alvar. Tamil Vaishnavas consider them as the six Tamil "Vedangas" or "Angas" of the 4 poems of Nammalvar, which are considered as Vedas. His most important work is "Periya Tirumoli", composed of 1084 hymns. The others are: "Tirunedunthandakam" (30 verses), "Tirukuruthandakam" (20 verses), "Tiruvelukkutirukkai" (a single long poem of 47 lines), "Siriya Tirumadal" (155 lines) and "Periya Tirumadal" (297 lines).

paragraph: A late ninth century text, Tamilalangaram by Dandapani Swamigal describes him of having the rare privilege of biting god Vishnu's toes and being pardoned for all his sins, as he wrote in Tamil. Vaishnavas consider him as a divine incarnation of Sharanga, Vishnu's bow.

paragraph: Section::::Works.

paragraph: "Periya Tirumoli" is the composition of hymns illustrating the greatness of Vaishnava shrines and their presiding deity as well as God's numerous attributes. His songs extol the largest number of shrines – over 40 forms of Vishnu, from Badrinath in North India to Thirukkurungudi in the extreme South. Thirumangai also discusses causes of human suffering and ways to overcome it to achieve salvation. Vedanta Desika praises the work as "a deep insight in spiritual knowledge".

paragraph: The word "thandakam" in "Tiru-nedun-thandakam" and "Tiru-kuru-thandakam" refers to the staff used for support for climbing a hill, this refers to God as the support for sustence of the soul in context of the poems. The words "nedu" and "kuru" signify the length of the compositions and its poetic meter. In "Tirunedunthandakam", Thirumangai speaks as a "Nayaki" (consort of the Lord), who separated from her beloved God (Nayaka). "Tirukuruthandakam" speaks dependency of the soul on God and its way to escape suffering being God, who is the sole supporter.

paragraph: "Tiruvelukkutirukkai" deals with the concept of surrender to God to attain freedom from suffering, the nature of God and the means of attaining Him.

paragraph: "Periya Tirumadal" and "Siriya Tirumadal" use the "madal", an ancient Tamil custom which is practised by a rejected lover to win back his love, though it is prohibited for women. The custom evolves singing about his love in love, devoid of food and sleep and finally trying to commit suicide before her if all things fail. Thirumangai sings as a woman threatening Lord to finish her life if He can not reciprocate her love. He assumes the role of a gopika (milkmaid) who threats Krishna (a form of Vishnu) with madal. He defends the gopika's actions of performing the prohibited madal, by saying that he follows the Sanskrit literary tradition who permits madal for women, not the Tamil one. His songs are also based on "akam" love poems, and talk of employing bees and storks are messengers to God. He goes to the length of portraying himself as the nayaki, pining for the love of Vishnu.

paragraph: Section::::Interaction with other faiths.

paragraph: He was instrumental in the decline of Jainism in south India. He is known for building of the third wall at the Vishnu temple, Srirangam for which he melted a gold Buddha statue from the Negapatam monastery. This indicates a conflict with Buddhism.

paragraph: Vaishnava texts like Divyasuri charitam and Guruparamparai prabhavams tell of his meeting with Thirugnana sambandhar, a Shaiva saint, who went to meet Thirumangai on his own and invited Thirumangai to his home town Sirkazhi so that Thirumangai would compose a poem in praise of the local deity Thadaalan. On the request of Thirugnana sambandhar at Sirkazhi, Thirumangai composed a poem on the spot, which was admired by the Shaiva – who granted Thirumangai a trident as a mark of appreciation.

paragraph: Section::::Temples.

paragraph: In Hampi's Vitthala temple complex, a temple was dedicated to Thirumangai.

paragraph: Section::::Festival.

paragraph: The Thirumangai Alvar "Mangalasasana utsavam"(festival)in the month of Thai(Jan–Feb) witnesses 11 Garudasevai a spectacular event in which festival images idols from the 11 Thirunaangur "Divyadesam" shrines in the area are brought on Garuda mounts to Thirunangur. An idol of Thirumangai Alvar is also brought here on a "Hamsa Vahanam"(swan) and his "paasurams"(verses) dedicated to each of these 11 temples are recited. The "Utsavar"(festival deity) of Thirumangai Alvar and his consort Sri Kumudavalli Naachiyar are taken in a palanquin to each of the 11 temples, through the paddy fields in the area. The "paasurams"(poems) dedicated to each of the 11 "Divyadesams" are chanted in the respective shrines.

paragraph: Mary Ann Nichols

paragraph: Mary Ann "Polly" Nichols (née Walker; 26 August 1845 – 31 August 1888) was one of the Whitechapel murder victims. Her death has been attributed to the notorious unidentified serial killer Jack the Ripper, who is believed to have killed and mutilated at least five women, who may have worked as prostitutes, in the Whitechapel area of London from late August to early November 1888.

paragraph: Section::::Life and background.

paragraph: Mary Ann was born to locksmith Edward Walker and his wife Caroline on 26 August 1845, in Dean Street, Soho, in London. On 16 January 1864 she married William Nichols, a printer's machinist, and between 1866 and 1879, the couple had five children: Edward John, Percy George, Alice Esther, Eliza Sarah, and Henry Alfred. Their marriage broke up in 1880 or 1881 because of disputed causes. Her father accused William of leaving her after he had an affair with the nurse who had attended the birth of their final child, though Nichols claimed to have proof that their marriage had continued for at least three years after the date alleged for the affair. He maintained that his wife had deserted him and was practising prostitution. Police reports say they separated because of her drunken habits.

paragraph: Legally required to support his estranged wife, William Nichols paid her an allowance of five shillings a week until 1882, when he heard that she was working as a prostitute; he was not required to support her if she was earning money through illicit means. Nichols spent most of her remaining years in workhouses and boarding houses, living off charitable handouts and her meagre earnings as a prostitute. She lived with her father for a year or more but left after a quarrel; her father stated he had heard she had subsequently lived with a blacksmith named Drew in Walworth. In early 1888, the year of her death, she was placed in the Lambeth workhouse after being discovered sleeping rough in Trafalgar Square, and in May left the workhouse to take a job as a domestic servant in Wandsworth. Unhappy in that position—she was an alcoholic and her employer, Mr Cowdry, and his wife, were teetotallers—she left two months later, stealing clothing worth three pounds ten shillings. At the time of her death, Nichols was living in a Whitechapel common lodging house in Spitalfields, where she shared a room with a woman named Emily "Nelly" Holland.

paragraph: Section::::Last hours and death.

paragraph: At about 23:00 on 30 August, Nichols was seen walking the Whitechapel Road; at 00:30 on 31 August she was seen to leave a pub in Brick Lane, Spitalfields. An hour later, she was turned out of 18 Thrawl Street as she was lacking the fourpence required for a bed, implying by her last recorded words that she would soon earn the money on the street with the help of a new bonnet she had acquired. She was last seen alive standing at the corner of Osborn Street and Whitechapel Road at approximately 02:30 (one hour before her death) by her roommate, Emily Holland. To Holland, Nichols claimed she had earned enough money to pay for her bed three times that evening, but had repeatedly spent the money on alcohol.

paragraph: A carman named Charles Allen Cross (birth name Lechmere) saw what transpired to be Nichols' body lying on the ground in front of a gated stable entrance in Buck's Row (since renamed Durward Street), Whitechapel at 3:40 AM, about 150 yards from the London Hospital and 100 yards from Blackwall Buildings. Her skirt was raised. Another passing cart driver on his way to work, Robert Paul, approached and saw Cross standing in the road. Cross called him over, and both men walked across to the body, where they examined it together. Cross expressed his opinion that she was dead, but Paul was uncertain and thought she might simply be unconscious. They pulled her skirt down to cover her lower body, and went in search of a policeman. Upon encountering PC Jonas Mizen, Cross informed the constable: "She looks to me to be either dead or drunk, but for my part, I believe she's dead." The two men then continued on their way to work, leaving Mizen to inspect Nichols' body.

paragraph: As Mizen approached the body, PC John Neale came from the opposite direction on his beat and by flashing his lantern, called a third policeman, PC John Thain, to the scene. As news of the murder spread, three horse slaughterers from a neighbouring knacker's yard in Winthrop Street, who had been working overnight, came to look at the body. None of the slaughterers, the police officers patrolling nearby streets, or the residents of houses alongside Buck's Row reported hearing or seeing anything suspicious before the discovery of the body.

paragraph: PC Thain fetched surgeon Dr Henry Llewellyn, who arrived at 04:00 and decided she had been dead for about 30 minutes. Her throat had been slit twice from left to right and her abdomen mutilated with one deep jagged wound, several incisions across the abdomen, and three or four similar cuts on the right side caused by the same knife, estimated to be at least 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) long, used violently and downwards. Llewellyn expressed surprise at the small amount of blood at the crime scene, "about enough to fill two large wine glasses, or half a pint at the most". His comment led to the supposition that Nichols was not killed where her body was found, but the blood from her wounds had soaked into her clothes and hair, and there was little doubt that she had been killed at the crime scene by a swift slash to the throat. Death would have been instantaneous, and the abdominal injuries, which would have taken less than five minutes to perform, were made by the murderer after she was dead. When a person is killed, further wounds to their body do not always result in a large amount of blood loss. When the body was lifted a "mass of congealed blood", in PC Thain's words, lay beneath the body.

paragraph: Section::::Inquest.

paragraph: As the murder had occurred in the territory of the Bethnal Green Division of the Metropolitan Police, it was initially investigated by the local detectives, inspectors John Spratling and Joseph Helson, who had little success. Elements of the press linked the attack on Nichols to two previous murders, those of Emma Elizabeth Smith and Martha Tabram, and suggested the killing might have been perpetrated by a gang, as in the case of Smith. "The Star" newspaper instead suggested a single killer was the culprit and other newspapers took up their storyline. Suspicions of a serial killer at large in London led to the secondment of Detective Inspectors Frederick Abberline, Henry Moore and Walter Andrews from the Central Office at Scotland Yard.

paragraph: Although Nichols carried no identification, a Lambeth workhouse laundry mark on her petticoats gave police enough information to eventually identify her. Nelly Holland and William Nichols confirmed an identification provided by a former workhouse resident. While her death certificate states that she was 42 at the time of her murder (an apparent error reflected on her coffin plate and gravestone), birth records indicate she was 43, a fact confirmed at her inquest by her father, who described her as looking "ten years younger" than her age. The coroner at Nichols' inquest, which began on 1 September at the Working Lads' Institute on Whitechapel Road, was Wynne Edwin Baxter. Inquest testimony as reported in "The Times" stated:

paragraph: Although Llewellyn had speculated that the attacker could have been left-handed, he later expressed doubt over this initial thought, but the belief that the killer was left-handed endured.

paragraph: Rumours that a local character called "Leather Apron" could have been responsible for the murder were investigated by the police, even though they noted "there is no evidence against him". Imaginative descriptions of "Leather Apron", using crude Jewish stereotypes, appeared in the press, but rival journalists dismissed these as "a mythical outgrowth of the reporter's fancy". John Pizer, a Polish Jew who made footwear from leather, was known by the name "Leather Apron" and was arrested despite a lack of evidence. He was soon released after the confirmation of his alibis. Pizer successfully obtained monetary compensation from at least one newspaper that had named him as the murderer.

paragraph: After several adjournments, to allow the police to gather further evidence, the inquest concluded on 24 September. On the available evidence, Coroner Baxter found that Nichols was murdered at just after 3 a.m. where she was found. In his summing up, he dismissed the possibility that her murder was connected with those of Smith and Tabram since the lethal weapons were different in those cases, and neither of the earlier cases involved a slash to the throat. However, by the time the inquest into Nichols' death had concluded, another woman, Annie Chapman, had been murdered, and Baxter noted "The similarity of the injuries in the two cases is considerable." The police investigations into the murders of Chapman and Nichols were merged.

paragraph: The subsequent murders of Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes the week after the inquest had closed, and that of Mary Jane Kelly on 9 November, were also linked by a similar "modus operandi", and the murders were blamed by the press and public on a single serial killer, called "Jack the Ripper".

paragraph: Section::::Funeral.

paragraph: Nichols was buried on 6 September 1888. That afternoon, her body was transported in a polished elm coffin to Mr Henry Smith, Hanbury Street undertaker. The cortege consisted of the hearse and two mourning coaches, which carried William Nichols and Edward John Nichols (her eldest son, who was approximately 22 years old). Nichols was buried at the City of London Cemetery, in a public grave numbered 210752 (on the edge of the current Memorial Garden).

paragraph: In late 1996, the cemetery authorities decided to mark Nichols' grave with a plaque.

paragraph: Eddie Lacy

paragraph: Edward Darwin Lacy Jr. (born June 2, 1990) is an American football running back who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Alabama, where he was a member of three BCS National Championship teams in the 2009, 2011, and 2012 seasons. He was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He was also a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

paragraph: Section::::High school career.

paragraph: Lacy attended and graduated from Dutchtown High School in Geismar, Louisiana, where he played high school football for the Griffins. He ran for 1,207 yards and 13 touchdowns as a sophomore, 34 touchdowns as a junior, and one touchdown during his injury-plagued senior season. In December 2008, he was selected by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association as a first-team player on the Class 5A All-State football team for the second consecutive season. Rated as the 13th best running back and the 116th best prospect overall by Rivals.com, Lacy committed to the University of Alabama in February 2009.

paragraph: Section::::College career.

paragraph: Lacy was a highly touted recruit coming out of Dutchtown High School. He accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Alabama, where he played for coach Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide football team from 2009 to 2012. Lacy won three BCS National Championships with the Crimson Tide in his collegiate career.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2009 season.

paragraph: With the Crimson Tide having a lot of depth at the running back position, including future NFL running backs Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson, Lacy was redshirted for his freshman year.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2010 season.

paragraph: In 2010, Lacy earned his spot as the third-string tailback behind Ingram and Richardson. In the season opener against San Jose State, Lacy ran for 113 yards and two touchdowns in his collegiate debut. For the 2010 season, He finished with 406 yards rushing on 56 carries, an average of 7.25 yards per carry, and six touchdowns.

paragraph: Section::::College career.:2011 season.

paragraph: With Ingram departing for the NFL, Richardson and Lacy advanced to the No. 1 and No. 2 running back spots for the 2011 Alabama Crimson Tide football team. In the pre-season, those close to the program opined that "the Richardson-Eddie Lacy duo may put up bigger and better numbers and go down as the best duo in recent history." Backfield partner Richardson told reporters that Lacy's spin move is what separates him from other backs: "It's the nastiest spin move ever." The move has earned Lacy the nickname "Circle Button" based on the button on PlayStation's video games that triggers a spin move. Aaron Suttles of "The Tuscaloosa News" wrote, "To the fans, Eddie Lacy is a dreadlocked blur, spinning past defenders into the secondary. To his teammates, he's affectionately known as 'Circle Button.'"

paragraph: In the 2011 season opener against Kent State, Lacy contributed 134 yards of offense, which were 76 receiving yards on three catches and 58 rushing yards on eight carries (an average of 7.3 yards per rushing carry). His 48-yard gain on a screen pass was the longest passing play of the game. Asked in a post-game press conference if he had hit the "Circle Button" a few times in the game, Lacy joked, "Yeah, I did a few spin moves." "The Birmingham News" wrote that Lacy "ran more impressively" against Kent State than the Crimson Tide's No. 1 running back, Trent Richardson. Another commentator led his coverage of the Kent State game with the headline, "Lacy, not Richardson, has look of Heisman-caliber RB in game one." After the game, head coach Nick Saban noted, "Eddie's a fast guy, an explosive guy." Photographs of Lacy hurdling over Kent State defensive back Calvin Tiggle were published in news outlets across the United States and in Europe, with one such image being chosen by Yahoo Sports as its lead "Photo of the Day."

paragraph: In the second game of the 2011 season, Lacy rushed for 85 yards in Alabama's 27–11 win over Penn State.

paragraph: Kagemni

paragraph: Kagemni was a vizier from the early part of the reign of King Teti of the Sixth dynasty of Egypt. Kagemni's wife Nebtynubkhet Sesheshet was a King's Daughter and likely the daughter of Teti.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Kagemni held a great number of titles. He was an overseer of the two houses of gold and an overseer of the two treasuries. He also held several religious positions, including that of High Priest of Re and Stolist of Min. Other duties were related to the royal palace: overseer of the two chambers of the king's adornment, director of the Mansions of the White and Red Crowns and keeper of the head ornaments. As vizier, Kagemni also held the positions of overseer of the scribes of the king's documents, overseer of all the works of the king, and overseer of the six great courts.

paragraph: Section::::Tomb.

paragraph: Kagemni was buried in the largest mastaba in the Teti cemetery in Saqqara. The tomb is a large 32 m. x 32 m. square.

paragraph: The mastaba was constructed of large blocks of limestone. Part of the mastaba consists of a chapel with six rooms, a pillared hall, five magazines, two chambers containing boats, a "serdab" and a staircase which gives access to the roof. The chapel walls are decorated and so are the walls of the burial chamber, which was located at the bottom of a shaft. The burial chamber contained an inscribed stone sarcophagus with a wooden coffin inside it.

paragraph: The tomb consists of a hall right after the entrance, followed by a pillared hall and then a suite of rooms to the north of the pillared hall. The entrance hall contains scenes of daily life, including a scene with dancers.

paragraph: The pillared hall shows scenes of Vizier Kagemni on a boat which is accompanied by a small papyrus skiff carrying three men. There are scenes of fishing and scenes of the wildlife including crocodiles, dragonflies and frogs. Other scenes in the pillared hall show cattle, including a man carrying a calf and a cow being milked.

paragraph: The rooms off the pillared hall show Kagemni in a carrying chair with attendants. This scene includes several of his titles. Other scenes in this room show birds including a scene where geese are being force fed. Another scene shows hyenas being force fed, in a manner very similar to that in the tomb of Mereruka.
