  • Star Wars at MT
    NEW STAR WARS AT MADAME TUSSAUDS UNIQUE INTERACTIVE STAR WARS EXPERIENCE OPENS MAY 2015 A NEW multi-million pound experience opens at Madame Tussauds London in May, with a major new interactive Star Wars attraction. Created in close collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, the unique, immersive experience brings to life some of film’s most powerful moments featuring extraordinarily life- like wax figures in authentic walk-in sets. Fans can star alongside their favourite heroes and villains of Star Wars Episodes I-VI, with dynamic special effects and dramatic theming adding to the immersion as they encounter 16 characters in 11 separate sets. The attraction takes the Madame Tussauds experience to a whole new level with an experience that is about much more than the wax figures. Guests will become truly immersed in the films as they step right into Yoda's swamp as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Back or feel the fiery lava of Mustafar as Anakin turns to the dark side in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Spanning two floors, the experience covers a galaxy of locations from the swamps of Dagobah and Jabba’s Throne Room to the flight deck of the Millennium Falcon. Fans can come face-to-face with sinister Stormtroopers; witness Luke Skywalker as he battles Darth Vader on the Death Star; feel the Force alongside Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn when they take on Darth Maul on Naboo; join the captive Princess Leia and the evil Jabba the Hutt in his Throne Room; and hang out with Han Solo in the cantina before stepping onto the Millennium Falcon with the legendary Wookiee warrior, Chewbacca.

JULY 2015 1 MYSTERY ON BAKER STREET Brutal Kazakh official linked to £147m London property empire EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The ability to hide and spend suspect cash overseas is a large part of what makes serious corruption and organised crime attractive. After all, it is difficult to stuff millions under a mattress. You need to be able to squirrel the money away in the international financial system, and then find somewhere nice to spend it. Increasingly, London’s high-end property market seems to be one of the go-to destinations to give questionable funds a veneer of respectability. It offers lawyers who sell secrecy for a living, banks who ask few questions, top private schools for your children and a glamorous lifestyle on your doorstep. Throw in easy access to anonymously-owned offshore companies to hide your identity and the source of your funds and it is easy to see why Rakhat Aliyev. (Credit: SHAMIL ZHUMATOV/X00499/Reuters/Corbis) London’s financial system is so attractive to those with something to hide. Global Witness’ investigations reveal numerous links This briefing uncovers a troubling example of how between Rakhat Aliyev, Nurali Aliyev, and high-end London can be used by anyone wanting to hide London property. The majority of this property their identity behind complex networks of companies surrounds one of the city’s most famous addresses, and properties.

  • Trenches: the War Service of Sherlock
    Trenches: The War Service of Sherlock Holmes A Facsimile of the Partial Original Manuscript of “His Last Bow” by Arthur Conan Doyle with Annotations and Commentary on the Story and Studies of Sherlock Holmes, Arthur Conan Doyle and World War I Edited & introduced by Robert Katz, MD, BSI and Andrew Solberg, BSI Order it at: www.bakerstreetjournal.com 288 pages, 10” x 7” hardcover, December 2017 With the manuscript reproduction plus 48 b&w illustrations August 1914 – Mycroft Holmes and Pre-War European Diplomacy by Ross Davies What caused World War I? And how was it that the diplomats and their masters failed to avert such an obviously disastrous bloodbath?1 Scholars cannot agree. Indeed, even among elite European historians (a crowd that specializes in studying the evolution of a complex of complex cultures), the tangled threads that led to the Great War are viewed as an extraordinarily terrible mare’s nest. Nevertheless, there is enough common ground on some main themes to make for a fairly coherent conventional narrative of pre-war European diplomacy. It begins in October 1879 — when Austria-Hungary and Germany formed the Dual Alliance. It ends in August 1914 — when diplomacy failed and the Central Powers (Austria-Hungary and Germany) and the Entente Powers (France, Russia and Great Britain) declared war on each other. That passage of 35 years also marks, roughly, the span of Mycroft Holmes’s career in the British government. His involvement in the maneuverings of the great powers in those times may be invisible to most modern eyes (as it was to his contemporaries), but there are clues.

    THE ADVENTURE OF THE SECOND STRAND [parallel citation: 2016 Green Bag Alm. 226] Ira Brad Matetsky† he Sherlock Holmes story featured in this Almanac, “The Adventure Tof the Reigate Squire,”1 was the nineteenth Holmes short story to see print. It first appeared in the June 1893 issue of The Strand Magazine. The Strand was the London-based magazine, published by George Newnes, in which 58 of the 60 Holmes stories first appeared between 1891 and 1927. These began with the 24 stories later collected as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (1891-1892) and The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes (1892-1893). The importance of The Strand to Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes — and of Conan Doyle and Holmes to The Strand — is well known.2 “Arthur Conan Doyle was associated with The Strand through its entire existence, from an advertisement in the very first issue dated January 1891 to an article titled ‘Holmesiana’ in the last issue for March 1950.”3 Although the Holmes stories were collected soon enough in book form, when British readers first encountered them, it was in The Strand’s pages.4 But what about contemporary American readers? The early publication history of the stories that became The Adventures and The Memoirs was far more complex in the United States than in England. Americans who read fiction in the early 1890s might have first met Sherlock Holmes and his chronicler Dr. John Watson in The Strand’s pages just as their English † Litigation partner at Ganfer & Shore, LLP in New York and an increasingly addicted Sher- lockian.
