    MYSTERY ON BAKER STREET BRUTAL KAZAKH OFFICIAL LINKED TO £147M LONDON PROPERTY EMPIRE Big chunks of Baker Street are owned by a mysterious figure with close ties to a former Kazakh secret police chief accused of murder and money-laundering. 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.

  • Elementary, My Dear Readers
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Elementary, My Dear Readers NCIS (which stands for Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is an extremely popular “police procedural” television drama that has spun off as a New Orleans series. NCIS: New Orleans, which airs Tuesday nights on CBS, is set in the Crescent City and it would be highly unusual if you haven’t seen the show filming around town. It premiered on September 23, 2014. The episodes revolve around a fictional team of agents led by Special Agent Dwayne Cassius “King” Pride, Special Agent Christopher LaSalle, and Special Agent Meredith Brody. They handle criminal investigations involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. If the NCIS team seems to be everywhere you look these days, allow yourself to travel back in literary time and imagine another famous detective team present all around you. Even if their bailiwick was late Victorian England, I seem to feel their presence all around this historic city. Perhaps you will, too. Arthur Conan Doyle penned his first Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, in novel form in 1886 at the age of 27. In it Holmes expounded: “Criminal cases are continually hinging upon that one point. A man is suspected of a crime months perhaps after it has been committed. His linen or clothes are examined and brownish stains discovered upon them. Are they blood stains, or mud stains, or rust stains, or fruit stains, or what are they? That is a question which has puzzled many an expert, and why? Because there was no reliable test.

  • Convergence Culture Reconsidered
    Reconsidering Transmedia(l) Worlds Nicole Gabriel, Bogna Kazur, and Kai Matuszkiewicz 1. Introduction “Any thoughtful study of contemporary transmedia must start with the vital caveat that transmedia is not a new phenomenon, born of the digital age.” (Jason Mittell 2014, 253; emphasis in the original) To begin with, we would like to agree with the general sentiment of Mittell’s statement: ‘transmedia,’ which Mittell seems to use as an abbreviation of the term ‘transmediality,’ is not a new phenomenon. But can it really be a mere coincidence that these two terms and other related concepts such as ‘transmedial worlds’ have been introduced and extensively discussed in academic discourses since the early 2000s, less than ten years after the introduction of home computers and the inter- net to numerous private households, and at about the same time as the Web 2.0 came into existence? We do not think so. Rather, we believe that the increasing research interest of media studies in these phenomena and the various concepts used in this research field are indicators of a fundamental change in (trans)media culture that is a result of the emergence of digital technologies as well as their mas- sive influence on our everyday lives. The aims of this paper are to take a closer look at the terminology used to de- scribe different phenomena in the field of transmedia studies, to differentiate be- tween these terms and concepts and render them more precise, and to put trans- media(l) worlds into a historical context through the analysis of three case studies: the transmedial universe of Sherlock Holmes, the Alien saga, and the transmedial world of The Legend of Zelda.

  • Holmes's Busy
    HOLMES’S BUSY DAY by WILLIAM HYDER Sherlock Holmes brought the case of “Beryl Coronet” to a conclusion in what he called “a really hard day’s work.” His task was to recover a piece of gold, set with three beryls, which had been broken off the coronet in a robbery. In less than eighteen hours he conducted his investigation, deduced who had stolen the gems, and learned that the thief had sold them to a fence. Finally he retrieved them by paying £3,000. Or so he told his client. Several writers have commented on the financial aspects of this case. Martin J. King placed the action in 1882 and exclaimed, “Suddenly Holmes is able to write his own cheque for £3,000! After only five years of practice!”1 Ian McQueen, who put the events in 1886 or shortly before, wrote, “‘Beryl Coronet’ is of great interest, not only in showing what huge figures Holmes was able to command when at the height of his fame but also in demonstrating that within a few short years of settling down in Baker Street in rooms which he had to share for reasons of expense he was able to produce £3,000 of his own money to buy back the gems from the receiver. Other adventures had already made him a rich man.”2 We cannot agree with either of these scholars. Although most chronologists do in fact place “Beryl Coronet” in 1886 or earlier,3 it cannot be claimed that Holmes was “at the height of his fame” at that time.

  • The Wicked Beginnings of a Baker Street Classic!
    The Wicked Beginnings of a Baker Street Classic! by Ray Betzner From The Baker Street Journal Vol. 57, No. 1 (Spring 2007), pp. 18 - 27. www.BakerStreetJournal.com The Baker Street Journal continues to be the leading Sherlockian publication since its founding in 1946 by Edgar W. Smith. With both serious scholarship and articles that “play the game,” the Journal is essential reading for anyone interested in Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and a world where it is always 1895. www.BakerStreetJournal.com THE WICKED BEGINNINGS OF A BAKER STREET CLASSIC! by RAY BETZNER In the early 1930s, when pulps were the guilty pleasures of the American maga- zine business, Real Detective was just another bedsheet promising sex, sin, and sensationalism for a mere two bits. With a color cover that featured a sultry moll, a gun-toting cop, or a sneering mobster, it assured the reader that when he got the magazine back to his garage or basement, he would be entertained by the kind of delights not found in The Bookman or The Atlantic Monthly. And yet, for a moment in December 1932, a single article featuring the world’s first consulting detective elevated the standards of Real Detective to something approaching respectability. Starting on page 50, between “Manhattan News Flash” (featuring the kidnapping of little John Arthur Russell) and “Rah! Rah! Rah! Rotgut and Rotters of the ’32 Campus” (by Densmore Dugan ’33) is a three-quarter-page illustration by Frederic Dorr Steele showing Sherlock Holmes in his dressing gown, standing beneath the headline: “Mr. Holmes of Baker Street: The Discovery of the Great Detective’s Home in London.” Com- pared with “I am a ‘Slave!’ The Tragic Confession of a Girl who ‘Went Wrong,’” the revelations behind an actual identification for 221B seems posi- tively quaint.

    “WHAT ONE MAN CAN INVENT, ANOTHER CAN DISCOVER” MUSIC AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES FROM LITERARY GENTLEMAN DETECTIVE TO ON-SCREEN ROMANTIC GENIUS By Emily Michelle Baumgart A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Musicology – Master of Arts 2015 ABSTRACT “WHAT ONE MAN CAN INVENT, ANOTHER CAN DISCOVER” MUSIC AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES FROM LITERARY GENTLEMAN DETECTIVE TO ON-SCREEN ROMANTIC GENIUS By Emily Michelle Baumgart Arguably one of the most famous literary characters of all time, Sherlock Holmes has appeared in numerous forms of media since his inception in 1887. With the recent growth of on-screen adaptations in both film and serial television forms, there is much new material to be analyzed and discussed. However, recent adaptations have begun exploring new reimaginings of Holmes, discarding his beginnings as the Victorian Gentleman Detective to create a much more flawed and multi-faceted character. Using Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original work as a reference point, this study explores how recent adaptors use both Holmes’s diegetic violin performance and extra-diegetic music. Not only does music in these screen adaptations take the role of narrative agent, it moreover serves to place the character of Holmes into the Romantic Genius archetype. Copyright by EMILY MICHELLE BAUMGART 2015 .ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am incredibly grateful to my advisor Dr. Kevin Bartig for his expertise, guidance, patience and good humor while helping me complete this document. Thank you also to my committee members Dr. Joanna Bosse and Dr. Michael Largey for their new perspectives and ideas.

  • A Baker Street Glossary for Beginning Sherlockians INTRODUCTION Sherlock Holmes Was Introduced to the World in a Short Novel
    1 A Baker Street Glossary for Beginning Sherlockians The Bootmakers of Toronto INTRODUCTION Sherlock Holmes was introduced to the world in a short novel entitled A Study in Scarlet, which appeared in Beeton’s Christmas Annual for 1887. From then until 1927, a total of sixty stories - four novels and fifty-six short stories - were published. In 1934, the popularity of the Holmes stories led to the formal organization of The Baker Street Irregulars (BSI) in New York City and the Sherlock Holmes Society of London (SHS). It soon became apparent that interest in Sherlock Holmes extended beyond these localities and numerous local societies were formed. These organizations were called “scion societies.” Many of them recognize the BSI or the SHS as their “parent” society. In Canada, there were two scion societies of the Baker Street Irregulars in the 1940’s: The Canadian Baskervilles and The Baker Street Squires. Both lasted only a few years.1 On January 10, 1971, the Metropolitan Toronto Central Library, then located at 214 College Street, opened its new Arthur Conan Doyle Collection. On December 4 and 5, of that year the Library held a conference called “A Weekend with Sherlock Holmes.” Out of this conference came the idea of starting a new Sherlock Holmes society in Toronto. On February 4 of 1972, the inaugural meeting of the new organization was held in the Music Room of Hart House, on the campus of the University of Toronto. The name of the society was taken from the one reference to Toronto found in the fifty-six short stories and four novels which comprise the “Sherlockian Canon.” From The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Arthur Conan Doyle (1901): …Once only we saw a trace that someone had passed that perilous way before us.

  • Despatches from the Moor: Newspapers and the Hound of the Baskervilles
    DESPATCHES FROM THE MOOR: NEWSPAPERS AND THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES by PETER CALAMAI Some formidable difficulties exist in connection with the three contemporary newspaper accounts that appear in Dr. Watson’s The Hound of the Baskervilles. The first problem is the lack of any other record of the existence of a news- paper called the Devon County Chronicle. This is the supposed newspaper from which an account of the inquest into the death of Sir Charles Baskerville is read aloud by Dr. James Mortimer in his first meeting with Sherlock Holmes at 221B Baker Street. Next there is the absence of any editorial about free trade in The Times of 30 September 1889. Sherlock Holmes is quoted as reading a section of such an editorial (referred to in Britain as a leading article, or leader) to demonstrate how the threatening note to Sir Henry Baskerville had been assembled by cut- ting out words from the article. Nor is there a Times leader dealing with free trade on the publication day before or after the date indicated in The Hound. Third, we are faced with the impossibility of Laura Lyons reading “in the paper next morning” about the death of Sir Charles late on the night of 4 June. DEVON COUNTY CHRONICLE According to the records at the Colindale branch of the British Library, which specializes in newspapers, the only newspaper ever bearing these exact words in its nameplate was Besley’s Exeter News and Devon County Chronicle, which existed under this title for the first four months of 1827.
