Easter Monday April 1888 Emma Smith, a local prostitute was attacked by a gang at the junction of Osborn Street and Brick Lane. Although she most certainly was not a victim of Jack the Ripper it was with this death that the police opened the file on the Whitechapel Murders, a file that enclosed the killings by Jack the Ripper
5 April 1888 Emma Smith dies of her injuries in the London Hospital.
7 August 1888 Martha Tabram, another common prostitute was found on a first floor landing of George Yard Buildings. She had been stabbed 39 times and two knives had been used to inflict the injuries she had sustained.
31 August 1888 At 3.40am the body of Mary or Polly Nichols was discovered in Bucks Row. She is considered by many to have been the first victim of Jack the Ripper.

30 September 1888. The killer commits two murder in less than an hour. At 1am Elizabeth Strides body is discovered and at 1:45am Catharine Eddowes is found dead in Mitre Square in the City of London. This is where the police figured out they must be using a horse and carridge because there was no way in getting from the first murder scene to the second in less the an hour.
1st October 1888. The police release the Jack the Ripper letter and a legend is born.
4th of October 1888, a document or a jack the ripper letter was sent to MEPO saying that he was an American but in another letter he says that he is a poland jew.
8th of october 1888, another letter was sent by jack the ripper to MEPO on this document there were images and letter BLOOD at the top, in this letter he has average grammar skills, and you know he has local knowledge and know's his way around.
16 October 1888 . Mr George Lusk receives a letter addressed "FROM HELL" and containing half a kidney. Speculation if rife that it was taken from Catharine Eddowes.
17th of october 1888, a document adressed to MEPO saying " Dear sir i shall be in whitechapel on the 20th..." and in this letter he also makes a challenge to the police saying "catch me if you can"
19th of October 1888, a letter sent to Charles Warren.
21st October 1888. A ‘respectable’ woman aged 21 named Maria Coroner is charged in Bradford with sending letters signed Jack the Ripper. She is the only one of the hundreds of Jack the Ripper letter writers to be prosecuted.
29th of October 1888, a letter was sent to Dr Openshaw the pathological curator at london hospital, this letter has very bad grammer and you can bearly understand what he is saying. Wuth this letter he also left a kidney from one of his victims!
9th November 1888. 25 year Old Mary Kelly is murdered in Dorset Street Spitalfields. It is generally accepted that she was the last victim of Jack the Ripper.
and the jack the ripper timeline ends with the murder of Mary Kelly

Francis Tumblety is Jack The Ripper
FRANCIS TUMBLETY!!
Many people have been suspects since 1888, these suspects were the ones who were thought to have been Jack the Ripper but i think Francis Tumblety the American doctor was the main suspect, and he was Jack The Ripper the man who killed all of thoose woman prostitutes in 1888, a sick, disgusting, twisted mind of a man, who was never caught!!
there is not much information about the beginning of Francis Tumblety's life... the first mistery is Tumbletys birth place no one is sure where he was born but according to Evan and Gaineys 1995 edition of Jack the ripper, he was born in Canada but the most recent jack the ripper episode lists his birth place as ireland. They dont even know the exact year of his birth, but we do know he was born to James and Margaret Tumblety at around 1833 and he was the youngest of 11 children.
Him and his family moved to various places throughout his life. First impressions of Francis Tumblety being Jack the Ripper aroused when his neighbours and aqquaintances thought of him as a dirty, akward, ignorant, uncared for, good for nothing boy. he was also known for drawing and writing pornographic literature on the canal boats in Rochester. some time when he was a adult he started working at a small drug store
Details of Tumbeltys life:
As a young man, Tumblety sold pornography Aand drugs hed stolen from the chemist where he worked.
1850 – Tumblety starts a business as a doctor. He always appeared to be rich.
Tumblety begins wearing medals and dressing up even though he wasnt in the army? and he started having parties with only men though.

1850 – Tumblety starts a business as a doctor. He always appeared to be rich.
Tumblety begins wearing medals and dressing up even though he wasnt in the army? and he started having parties with only men though.
he also started shouting about how much he hated woman and banging his fists on tables and doors and walking qucikly around rooms. some one asked Tumbelty why he was getting upset and so he took him into a room with loads of jars filled with woman uteruses! this shows us he has medical experience. Tumblety really disliked women prostitutes.
Tumblety moved to Liverpool in March 1888.
he was actually arrested and charged on suspicion of the Whitechapel murders on the 12th Novemver 1888 but was free between 7th & 12th November. Friday 9th of November 1888
Mary Jane Kelly was murdered! Tumbetly was free at the time of this murder!!

He was due to stand trial in December 1888 but escaped to New York on November 1888.
Tumbelty then died on 1903, he was 56 years old.
Tumbelty then died on 1903, he was 56 years old.
London 1888 is much differnt to London in present day. Back in 1888 London had no technology so it was very hard to find the killer, the police were doing all they could but it was very hard with there technology they had to use. They didnt hav any finger print DNA or anything like what we have now. Jack the Ripper was trying to throw police off his tracks, one letter he would be formal and another its like he hasnt been educated at all. I believe their were 2 Jack the Rippers and Francis Tumblety was one of them, he had the brains and the medical equiptment, but Tumblety was paranoid.
motive: When Francis Tumblety was asked why he hated women, he said that when he was a young man he fell in love with a pretty girl. After a brief courtship he married her. The honeymoon was not over when he noticed his wife flirting with another man. He reacted jealously, she kissed him, called him a dear jealous fool and he believed her. he then later passed one day in a cab through the worst part of the town he saw his wife and a man enter a gloomy looking house. Then he learned that before her marriage his wife had been a prostitute and he gave up all woman.
Tumblty has a motive and he was had the time and the opportunity to achieve these murders. He is the main suspect on so many peoples list including mine. he fits all of the profiles and everything FRANCIS TUMBLETY IS JACK THE RIPPER!!!!!!!!!!

NELSON (Rolihlahla) MANDELA
NELSON MANDELA
South Africa was a country divided by racial discrimination, it was a system called apartheid meaning apartness. It was a cruel and unfair system that non white people hated. Nelson Mandela stood up to the white people and he believed in multiculturalism but that is why he was sentenced to prison.
Nelson Mandela lived in the fields of the Transkei region of South Africa, in the villagers of the Thembu people. He was born on the 18th of July and they named him Rolihlahla which means "pulling the branch of a tree" it can also mean "trouble maker". Nelson was one of thirteen children.
When he was young, they moved to Qunu a nearby village. When he was five he was sent to work as a herdboy, looking after sheep and cattle. When he was seven he was the first person ever to go to school in his family. The school changed his name from being called Rolihlahla Mandela to Nelson Mandela beacuse they though Rolihlahla was too hard to pronounce. When he was nine his father died and it was a very hard time for Nelson. To make it easier for there mother Nelson went and lived with their close friends the Thembu royal family and he was sent to boarding school in 1934 and 4 years later he went to the University of Fort Hare.
Nelson was suspended from the university college of Fort Hare for joining in a protest in form of rebellion. In 1940, Chief Jongintaba told Nelson they had chosen a bride for him. He wasn't impressed and ran away to Johannesburg and he became a policeman at a gold mine and then decided he wanted to become a lawyer and studied law.
Nelson Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment. He was arrested for protesting about unfair laws. He always refused to hand over his political position to obtain his freedom. While he was in prison his reputation started to grow. He was widely accepted as the most significant black leader in South Africa and became a symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid movement gathered strength. He was released on February 11, 1990.
Mandela accepted the Nobel Peace Prize as an acknowledgment to all the people who have worked for peace and stood up against racism. It is a special reward for the people of Norway who stood up against apartheid while many in the world were silent.

Western Australian Economy
Kalgoorlies super pit
WESTERN AUSTRALIA'S ECONOMY!! =D
W.A manufactures, exports, extracts and many more things we are a leding country in many regions including the mining industry.Western Australia has the highest capita output of any australian state, that has been largely been based on the extraction and export of mining and petroleum commodities especially iron, alumina, natural gas, nickel and gold. Western Australia is a leading alumina extractor producing more than 20% of the world's alumina and is also the 3rd larsest country in iron ore production, Also extracts 25% of Australias gold. The W.A agricultural output remains high, Agricultural products are also the second largest contributor to Western Australia’s export income (behind the minerals and energy sector).Western Australia is very much a mining country and we are doing excellent in the mining industry.

The Goldfields region is Australia's premier gold heritage region. Pastoralism is an important industry, and represents the regions main land use, 84% of the Gascoyne's land area is covered by pastoral leases. Gascoyne also has a substantial mining sector, mainly based on extraction of salt and gypsum. The Kimberlys economy produces pearls, mining, Agriculture and aquaculture. Canarvon is a high producer in wool, agriculture especially banannas and tomatoes. Shark bay locally industries include fishing, tourism, salt, pearl (marine culturing), mining of shell grit and various pastoral activities.
Western Australia has plenty pf strengths and weakness's. we produce lots of iron ore, wheat and lots of other things including gold. we are a great country in agricultural exports and tourism. We have many industrys and bulidings around us that mine these items so that we can export them at a greater rate.
We are suffering from a albour shortage as young people head north to make real money from the minig boom. also health risks are on the rise.
The Western Australia's economy is changing in many various ways there is a boom in property value and also labour shortages have occoured. Perth property is now the second most valuable in Australia behind Sydney. Large projects continue to fuel the economy and population growth continues to push rental prices up. We are discovering new technologies that arent environmentally friendly which is causing the environment to change e.g global warming and green house gases even though we are slowely comeing up with some new ideas to reduce these we arent doing enough. The Economy is finding new things to build. Food Prices, petrol prices you name it they are all going up in prices many family's are finding it hard to support themselves as the prices continue to rise.

GrEeNlAnD!!!
GREENLAND!!!!
Greenland is one of the countries that are getting affected the most by all of the global warming and climate change here are some reasons why.
climate change facts:
glaciers are melting on 6 continents
if it continues all glaciers could be gone by 2030
arctic sea ice has shrunk by 250 milion acres
Greenlands facts:
Greenlands ice sheet is bout 8% of the earth's grounded ice
more than 11 cubic mile of ice is melting along Greenland's coast yearly which is 7%of the annual sea level rise
it absorbs up to 4 times as much energy from the sun as unmelted snow which reflects the sun
Greenland is the world's largest island
The ice cap is 3000 meters thick
The snow falls on the ice cap and increases it by 5cm each year
affecting the people:
greenland is covered by 630,000 cubic miles of ice if this ice melts then the sea levels will rise dramatically and areas of lood will flood and go under water which is going to affect thousands of people as their homes are going to be lost. if Greendland's ice all melted everyone living their would have to find somewhere else to live and it would also raise the sea levels heaps also all the ice is breaking of causing loss of land. Such a rise would swamp low-lying Pacific islands and warming could trigger more hurricanes, droughts, spread deserts and drive thousands of species to extinction, which would also up set the food chain
natural resources:
coal, iron ore, lead, zinc, molybdenum, diamonds, gold, platinum, niobium, tantalite, uranium, fish, seals, whales, hydropower, possible oil and gas.
coal, iron ore, lead, zinc, molybdenum, diamonds, gold, platinum, niobium, tantalite, uranium, fish, seals, whales, hydropower, possible oil and gas.
Greenland is located between the arctic and atlantic oceans greenland before climate changes
The total area of Greenland is 2,166,066 km squared and the ice sheet covers 1,755,637 km squared that is enough to raise the sea levels by 23 feet.
good things: this is the first time in Greenland that they are able to raise cattle and harvest crops.
i quote: The world's target for stopping global warming should be based on the point at which the melting of the great Greenland ice sheet becomes irreversible, says the Government's chief scientific adviser, Sir David King. He also says The international community must limit the atmospheric level of the principal greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (C02), to below the point where the Greenland ice begins to melt in a runaway manner, Sir David said. This figure is not yet precisely known - but much scientific effort is being expended on finding it out.
helping the problem: i think we should pin point a area that needs to be sorted out the most or the one that is doing the most damage and try and just complete that one instead of trying to fix hundreds of problems
A miniature Christmas tree bulb dissipates about 1 watt, mostly as heat. Human-made greenhouse gases provide almost 2 watts of heat per square meter of Earth's surface. So the addition of such gases to the atmosphere through fossil fuel burning and other activities is equivalent to placing "two tiny bulbs over every square meter of Earth's surface, burning night and day," says James E. Hansen.
Study of climate history has shown that small forces maintained long enough, can cause climate change. Unless big reductions are made in fossil fuel use, the atmospheric CO2 concentration, which is now at 370 ppm is expected to reach 560–1,000 ppm by the end of this century. This will raise heating due to greenhouse gases to at least and average global temperatures a further 1.4–5.8 °degrees.
scientist knew that the ice was melting but not this fast it is disapearing 3 times faster than what the scientists predicted.
this graph above shows the temperature that had been rising the graph goes from 1880-2000 
and Greenland during climat changes (ice is melting)
left this is what is happening and it could keep continuing untill there is none

The Red Panda
The Red Panda!!
Physical characteristics
The Red Panda is quiet long 79-120cm long, and the tail length is 30-60cm long. Males weigh 4.5 to 6.2kg and females are 3 to 4.5kg. It has a long reddish soft fur, black fur in the lower parts and a white face, each individual Red Panda has different markings. They have medium sized up right ears, black nose and very dark eyes. There tail has 6 alternating yellowish, red stripes. The legs are black, short and bear-like with thick fur. There Soles are great for surviving the purpose of thermal insulation on snow or ice covered surfaces, They have strong, sharp curved claws which are semi retractable. It had a false thumb which is really a extension of the wrist.
Distribution and habitat
The Red Panda or Lesser Panda specializes in eating bamboo. Its slightly larger than a domestic cat. It is endemic (totally native) to the Himalayas In Bhutan, southern China, India, Laos, Nepal and Burma. It is the state animal in the Indian state of Sikkim. It also is the mascot of some international festivals including the Darjeeling festival. They generally don’t adventure below 1,800m. They can’t cope with temperatures over 25°c. They are very skill and acrobatic they inhabit climates of temperatures between 10-15°c, they prefer forested mountain areas, especially places where they have course bamboo. They share there habitat with the giant panda, in China. They use rock to hide in and dens and hollow trees to sleep in. They are more active at dawn and dusk.Species declining
There population is less than 2,500. The Red Panda’s population continues to decline due to habitat Fragmentation (A process of environmental change.) The Red Panda is an endangered species and with out doing something soon it is going to become extinct. It is nearly extinct to the western part of its range, due to human interference to the Red Panda’s natural habitat. It is already extinct in 4 out of 7 places in china. The major threats to red pandas are loss and fragmentation of habitat due to deforestation (and the resulting loss of bamboo) for timber, fuel and agricultural land, poaching for the pet and fur trades also competition from domestic livestock.

Interesting facts
The Red Panda’s Scientific Name is Ailurus fulgens. Its features indicate that the Red Pandas are most closely related to the racoon and similar to giant pandas and bears but are now classified as a 'family' of their own. In captivity Red Panda’s can live up to 14 years, but its not known how old they live for in the wild. The Chinese name for red panda is hunho or firefox, due to their colour and similar size to a fox. A red panda can eat up to 45 percent of its own body weight daily eating approximately 200,000 bamboo leaves during the day.

Diet and social behaviours
The Red Panda is most active in the early morning and late afternoon spending most of the day resting in trees conserving their energy as their bamboo diet has a low energy content .Red pandas are normally solitary creatures but form pairs in the breeding season. They rarely live in groups or even with their family’s. Even though the Red Panda is classified as a carnivore, Red Pandas eat mainly bamboo shoots, grass and fruit with the occasional egg, insect or small animal.

Reproduction
After 3 months the female gives birth of up to three young, which are born into a nest made of twigs and grass. Newborn cubs are covered in thick grey fur and their eyes and ears are closed. The cubs will come from the nest at about three months of age but stay with their mother until the next breeding season starts.

The cubs will come from the nest at about three months of age but stay with their mother until the next breeding season starts.
We need to do something now to help preserve the Red Panda other wise it is going to become a thing of the past!! we need to educate younger children as they are our future to help prevent this happening in the future, also we can still cut down some bamboo but it needs to be relevant to the amount we need and also that the bamboo can grow back faster than it is being cut down. if we follow some of these things we can increase the probability of the red panda's survival
