Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso: A Tale of Race, Sex, and Violence in AmericaShortly after a dismembered torso was discovered by a pond outside Philadelphia in 1887, investigators homed in on two suspects: Hannah Mary Tabbs, a married, working class, black woman, and George Wilson, a former neighbor whom Tabbs implicated after her arrest.

Shortly after a dismembered torso was discovered by a pond outside Philadelphia in 1887, investigators homed in on two suspects: Hannah Mary Tabbs, a married, working-class, black woman, and George Wilson, a former neighbor whom Tabbs implicated after her arrest. As details surrounding the shocking case emerged, both the crime and ensuing trial--which spanned several months--were featured in the national press. The trial brought otherwise taboo subjects such as illicit sex, adultery, and domestic violence in the black community to public attention. At the same time, the mixed race of the victim and one of his assailants exacerbated anxieties over the purity of whiteness in the post-Reconstruction era. In Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso, historian Kali Nicole Gross uses detectives' notes, trial and prison records, local newspapers, and other archival documents to reconstruct this ghastly whodunit crime in all its scandalous detail. In doing so, she gives the crime context by analyzing it against broader evidence of police treatment of black suspects and violence within the black community. A fascinating work of historical recreation, Hannah Mary Tabbs and the Disembodied Torso is sure to captivate anyone interested in true crime, adulterous love triangles gone wrong, and the racially volatile world of post-Reconstruction Philadelphia.Binding Type: Paperback

Fun little gadget we never knew we needed.

Who knew keeping our bags and purses could be so easy. Easy to clean once it does it's "job". Doesn't take up much room and works like a charm

Mixed Results - Sauberkugel Clean Ball Review
Color: Bag Petrol
I purchased the Sauberkugel Clean Ball in Teal to help keep my bags clean from dust, dirt, and crumbs, and while it had some positive aspects, I can only give it a moderate 3-star rating due to a few shortcomings.
On the plus side, the concept of the sticky inside ball is ingenious and showed promise. It did manage to pick up some dust and small particles (including glitter) from my purse which was a relief. The teal color is cute and made it easier to spot in a bag.
However, there were some limitations that affected its overall effectiveness.
*It seemed to struggle with picking up certain types of debris, particularly larger crumbs, heavier dirt, and ever some larger glitter/confetti pieces. This inconsistency was a bit disappointing as I had hoped based on the ads for it to be much more effective.
*Another major issue I encountered was the difficulty of opening and cleaning the ball. The design was supposed to make it relatively easy to open and clean (as the ads lead me to believe). However I was unable to get the ball unlatched - which made it quite challenging to clean fully. It was frustrating to wrestle with the ball and being unable open to clean it out fully.
In summary, while the Sauberkugel Clean Ball had its merits and did manage to capture some unwanted particles, it fell short in terms of consistency and ease of use. The struggle to open and clean the ball was a significant drawback for me.

Great item, totally worth it.
Color: Black
I've used this for over a year now in my nice work purse to keep those tiny dirt particles from who-knows-where (you know the ones I mean!) from mysteriously getting in the bottom of of it. It rolls around easily in its plastic case either naturally (without getting goopy or leaky) or rolled by hand. Handiest thing I've ever bought to help keep my purse clean!
