TED Talks
As this is a very slow news week, unless you are Angelina Jolie spotting, a friend of St Margarets Community Website suggested we introduce TED Talks to everyone. TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design but has now grown far beyond that with over 900 talks online. The talks are only 20 minutes and are all persuasive, fascinating, inspiring and informative.

The Barnes Mystery Solved
In October 2008 this website carried an article about the brutal murder in March 1879 of Julia Martha Thomas who lived at 2 Vine Cottages on Richmond Hill. Her killer was a convicted fraudster, thief and hard case called Kate Webster who Julia Thomas had recently taken on as a maid. Just out of prison, Kate had been looking for easy pickings all over this area. She threw over one position with the Mitchell family in Teddington because, as she said later, “They didn’t have anything worth stealing”… but Julia Martha Thomas did. Just 6 weeks after engaging the maid Julia Martha Thomas had mysteriously disappeared and Kate Webster was walking around in her clothes and jewellery.
