Table of contents

According to New York police, Majors had been stabbed repeatedly shortly before 7 p. Investigators believe it was the result of an attempted robbery. Police believe she made it a short distance before collapsing at a college security booth, but the guard was out making rounds at the time she got there. According to New York media outlets, police are interviewing two minors in connection to the fatal stabbing, but no arrests have yet been made.

Our condolences are with him and his family during this difficult time. Majors also interned at the Augusta Free Press just last spring. Her former boss and owner of the online newspaper, Chris Graham, told NBC29 that Tessa loved New York and was excited to experience life in a big city. Graham said Tessa liked covering hard news, and wasn't afraid of a challenge. Her first story as an intern there was covering a budget crisis in Waynesboro.

She had just emailed him in November, saying she planned to take a journalism class in the spring. She was a graduate of St. Anne's-Belfield School in Charlottesville.

A spokesperson for the school said they're all in mourning. He added, "We will keep this community safe, arrest the perpetrators, and ensure nothing like this can happen again. We mourn this devastating murder of an extraordinary young woman and member of our community. Earlier this evening, Tessa Majors, a first year student at Barnard, was fatally injured during an armed robbery that occurred off campus in Morningside Park.

We are also in close touch with the New York Police Department as they conduct this on-going investigation and seek to identify the assailant in this horrible attack. She was based on Christie's grandmother and thus evokes something of all grandmothers, which — as mine remains a beloved memory — is a point in her favour , and Christie's two last published books, Curtain and Sleeping Murder , written 40 years earlier to bring a satisfactory end to Poirot's and, to a lesser extent, Miss Marple's respective careers.

It takes me a long time, though, with much inward huffing and occasional exclamations of pain "Extract of calabar bean! What the what?! You'll really never guess who this murderer is! I don't know, and I just don't care enough to find out — were started but abandoned.

I'm sorry. I might add that I am not alone in my Agatha antipathy — the great PD James has objected to her "cardboard cutout characters" and likened her to "a literary conjuror. She has her cards and she shifts them with those cunning fingers until, of course, the reader reads enough to see the kind of trickery she operates. But I am in a minority. Around 4bn copies of her more than books and short story collections have been sold since that Mysterious Affair at Styles was published in Four million copies of her books in different languages, making her the most translated author in the world still fly out of shops around the world every year.

Her play The Mousetrap opened in November and is, famously, the longest-running play in history over 24, performances and, at St Martin's Theatre in the West End, still counting.

Magazines holding more than 10 rounds were used in 31 of the 62 mass shootings we investigated.

And if you need any further proof of her enduring appeal and international fame, on her th birthday recently, the Google logo was changed for the day in tribute. I didn't see it, alas. I was in the wireless broadband-free bosom of Torquay at the time, attending the annual Agatha Christie festival , hoping to talk to the fans — massing, on the first day, at the village fete on the green — in an attempt to fathom her appeal.

This festival is something of a period piece itself — what must be the nation's last working set of wooden hoopla hoops are in operation, along with a splat-the-rat contest and the most courageous charlestoning by the game ladies of the local Rotary club that I have ever seen. There is a stall selling slices of the special th birthday cake, Delicious Death , created by Jane Asher from the recipe in Christie's 50th novel, A Murder Is Announced.

On the assumption that one of them at least must be poisoned, I decline to partake, but it looks lovely. Also looking lovely is Poirot. Yes, all the way from Belgium comes zee leetle man wiz ze egg-shaped head full of leetle grey cells. Smiling fans come up to him as he strolls around and ask to have their photo taken with him.

This is, of course, a testament to the power of television — the Marple and Poirot series are broadcast everywhere, from Sweden to South Korea — rather than the books themselves. Gaisford, strictly speaking, is of course a David Suchet lookalike "I met him, after I'd watched all the DVDs to try to get the mannerisms right," says Gaisford. Very keen to know if I was happy with the walk, because without that, it simply doesn't work.

There is no sense that you are in any way a lesser Agatha acolyte if you have read few or even none of the books, but are au fait with every minute of your Miss Marple boxset. Again, I have seen very few of the television adaptations although I have naturally absorbed their essence through cultural osmosis. This is mainly because they are more redolent to me of agonisingly boring Sunday evenings sitting on the sofa with my parents, chafing inwardly at the thought that I could be out somewhere, anywhere, doing something — anything — more interesting than this if only I were older, lived elsewhere and were a totally different kind of person.

But to others, they mean much more. We enjoy sitting down in New Zealand and having a little trip down memory lane. Maybe, when time permits, we'll go back and read the books. It occurs to me that the books and the television series exist in an unusually profitable symbiosis, with the latter fleshing out the former, effectively adding the description and supplementing the nostalgia offered by the books. The modern reader brings perhaps more than is actually there, and so breathes new life into them. There are a few people for whom the era is self-evidently the greatest attraction, and they are the ones in what I initially and wrongly term costume.

Emma Klausner, 24, is wearing a cloche hat, vintage jewellery, a pair of wide-legged 20s-style trousers and a vintage silk blouse. Her eyebrows are carefully pencilled, her face carefully powdered and she looks fantastic. It would be lovely to go back in time and see that era. Memes sprout from the ether or so it seems. They charm and amuse us.

They sicken and annoy us. They bore us. They linger for a while on Facebook and then they die—or rather retreat back into the cybernetic ooze unless called upon again. The constancy of this narrative may be observed in any number of internet memes in recent memory, from the incredibly short-lived Damn Daniel , Dat Boi , Salt Bae , queer Babadook to the ones seemingly too perfect to ever perish like Harambe the gorilla and Crying Jordan.

At a glance—even from a digital native—meme death seems like a much less mysterious phenomenon than meme birth. While tracing the origin of any individual meme requires a separate trip down the rabbit hole, it makes sense to assume that memes die because people get tired of them. Our overextended attention leads to an obvious explanation for meme death: We are so overstimulated that what brings us joy cannot even hold our focus for long. But is that really why memes die? In , the third and final meeting of ROFLCon, a biennial convention on internet memes hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, anticipated a shift in the formal qualities of meme culture, ushered in by social-media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Indeed, this was the tail end of an era, one defined by the once-ubiquitous image-macro template as applied to subgenres like Advice Animals , LOLcats , and Doge. Social networks, some feared, would drive memes to extinction. But Chris Torres, the creator of Nyan cat , anticipated that the break from the old-school would be a good thing.

This may just be the calm before the storm of amazing new material.

    8. Increased mobility and access across platforms and communities has brought to the surface some of the funniest and weirdest content the web has ever known. Contrary to what Poole and Baio implied, weird humor and memes are hardly the exclusive domain of Redditors or the mostly white tech bros who populated ROFLCon. Nor can it alone account for the varied lifespans amongst concurrent memes.

    Crying Jordan lasted years; did Damn Daniel even last two weeks? Why do some memes last longer than others? Are they just funnier? And if so, what makes a meme better? The answer lies not in traditional memetics, but in the study of jokes. The study, in which Dawkins extends evolutionary theory to cultural development, has been elaborated upon as well as critiqued in the three decades since its publication, spawning the field of memetics and drawing ire from neurologists and anthropologists alike.
