Donald George Powell (born 10 September 1946) is an English musician who was the drummer for glam rock and later hard rock group Slade for over fifty years, from 1966 until he was dismissed by Dave Hill in 2020.

Don Powell


Powell was born in Bilston, near Wolverhampton, in 1946. His parents were Walter and Dora Powell; Walter was a steelworker, and Dora made electrical components. He has three siblings, a brother and two sisters. He attended Villiers Road Primary School from 1950 to 1957 and started to play drums for the Boy Scouts in 1958. He then attended Etheridge Secondary Modern School for Boys from 1957 to 1962, and studied metallurgy at Wednesbury Technical College in 1962.

Don Powell


He joined The Vendors in 1963, who in 1964 changed their name to The 'N Betweens; then to Ambrose Slade in 1969; and a few months later, on 24 October 1969, shortened that to Slade.

Don Powell


A long-time fan of Ringo Starr, Powell contributed the foreword to the 2016 book Ringo Starr and the Beatles Beat by Alex Cain and Terry McCusker. As the drummer with Colonel Bagshot, McCusker toured with Slade in the 1970s and the two have remained firm friends.

Don Powell


Powell collaborated with Lise Lyng Falkenberg on his biography since 2006, in part using the notebooks and diaries he kept due to his problems with short-term memory following his 1973 accident. The biography, titled Look Wot I Dun – My Life in Slade was released via the publisher Music Sales Ltd in October 2013. It covers in detail Slade's long career and Powell's life, which included booze-ups with Ozzy Osbourne. In 2013, Powell created his own website, and in early 2014 he published his diary entries for 1977 and 1978.

Don Powell


In February 2020, Powell announced that he had been fired by email by Dave Hill and would be forming Don Powell's Slade to perform Slade songs. The reason for Powell being dismissed wasn't officially given at the time. Noddy Holder eventually confirmed the reason for Powell being fired was because he had missed a few gigs because of an injury; on 28 December 2018 when at Peterborough station, he snapped tendons in both of his legs and was hospitalised for five weeks, eventually returning to performing again on 1 November 2019.

Don Powell


Powell had worried about his leg relapsing while on stage, and just two days after returning to the band following his injuries was advised by doctors that he would be crippled for life and be unable to walk if he did not stop drumming, but he refused and so Dave Hill reacted by firing him. According to Holder, many fans turned against Hill, and it affected him personally. Soon after departing from Slade, Powell's website mentioned that he was fit enough to play drums again. He formed "Don Powell's Slade".

Don Powell


On 8 June 1973, Powell collapsed with heat exhaustion at the end of a show in Birmingham. He spent the night in hospital but was declared fit to play the following morning when discharged.

Don Powell


At 1am on Wednesday, 4 July 1973, when Slade were popular in Europe and number one in the UK Singles Chart with "Skweeze Me, Pleeze Me", Don Powell was severely injured in a serious car crash at Compton Road West, Wolverhampton, in which his 20-year-old fiancée, Angela Morris was killed instantly. On a bend in the road, the car hit a hedge and a road sign and then smashed into a wall. Powell fractured his skull, smashed several teeth, broke both of his ankles and five of his ribs. Surgeons had to drill into his skull to ease the internal pressure and he was unconscious for six days but he eventually pulled through, finding the best therapy to be work.

Don Powell


Both Powell and Morris had been flung out of the car so it was impossible to tell who had been driving. Powell was unable to attend Morris's cremation six days later on 10 July. He left the hospital on 30 July; by mid-August, he was back recording with the group. When the Top 5 hit "My Friend Stan" was recorded, Powell was walking with the aid of a stick and had to be lifted onto his drum-kit. The accident left Powell with no senses of taste and smell, and he still has severe problems with his short-term memory, whilst his long-term memory has remained unaffected.

Joanna Rutkowska (born 1981) is a Polish computer security researcher, primarily known for her research on low-level security and stealth malware, and as founder of the Qubes OS security-focused desktop operating system.

Joanna Rutkowska


She became known in the security community after the Black Hat Briefings conference in Las Vegas in August 2006, where Rutkowska presented an attack against Vista kernel protection mechanism, and also a technique dubbed Blue Pill, that used hardware virtualization to move a running OS into a virtual machine. Subsequently, she has been named one of Five Hackers who Put a Mark on 2006 by eWeek Magazine for her research on the topic. The original concept of Blue Pill was published by another researcher at IEEE Oakland in May 2006 under the name VMBR.

Joanna Rutkowska


During the following years, Rutkowska continued to focus on low-level security. In 2007 she demonstrated that certain types of hardware-based memory acquisition (e.g. FireWire based) are unreliable and can be defeated. Later in 2007, together with team member Alexander Tereshkin, presented further research on virtualization malware. In 2008, Rutkowska with her team focused on Xen hypervisor security. In 2009, together with a team member Rafal Wojtczuk, presented an attack against Intel Trusted Execution Technology and Intel System Management Mode.

Joanna Rutkowska


In April 2007, Rutkowska founded Invisible Things Lab in Warsaw, Poland. The company focuses on OS and VMM security research and provides various consulting services. In a 2009 blog post she coined the term "evil maid attack", detailing a method for accessing encrypted data on disk by compromising the firmware via an external USB flash drive.

Joanna Rutkowska


In 2010, she and Rafal Wojtczuk began working on the Qubes OS security-oriented desktop Xen distribution, which currently  utilizes Fedora Linux as the admin qube. The initial release of Qubes 1.0 was completed by September 3, 2012.  Its main concept is "security by compartmentalization", using domains implemented as lightweight Xen virtual machines to isolate various subsystems. Each compartment is referred to as a qube, which operates as a separate virtual machine. The project refers to itself as "a reasonably secure operating system" and has received endorsements by numerous privacy and security experts. It is fairly unique in its capabilities, having a design informed by research on proven vulnerabilities in the trusted compute base (TCB), that are unaddressed in most common desktop operating systems.

Joanna Rutkowska


She has published seminal works on systems trustability, most recently Intel x86 Considered Harmful and State Considered Harmful - A Proposal for a Stateless Laptop. Rutkowska has been invited as an esteemed presenter at security conferences, such as Chaos Communication Congress, Black Hat Briefings, HITB, RSA Conference, RISK, EuSecWest & Gartner IT Security Summit.

Chapman's zebra (Equus quagga chapmani), named after explorer James Chapman, is a subspecies of the plains zebra from southern Africa.

Chapman's zebra


Chapman's zebra are native to savannas and similar habitats of north-east South Africa, north to Zimbabwe, west into Botswana, the Caprivi Strip in Namibia, and southern Angola.  Like the other subspecies of plains zebra, it is a herbivore that exists largely on a diet of grasses, and undertakes a migration during the wet season to find fresh sources of food and to avoid lions, which are their primary predator. Chapman's zebras are distinguished from other subspecies by subtle variations in their stripes. When compared to other equids in the region Chapman's zebras are relatively abundant in number, however its population is now in decline largely because of human factors such as poaching and farming. Studies and breeding programs have been undertaken with the hope of arresting this decline, with a focus on ensuring zebras bred in captivity are equipped for life in the wild, and that non-domesticated populations are able to freely migrate. A problem faced by some of these programs is that captive Chapman's zebra populations experience higher incidence of diagnosed diseases than non-domesticated populations because they live longer, and so are less likely to die in the wild from predation or a lack of food or water.

Chapman's zebra


Chapman's zebras are single-hoofed mammals that are a part of the odd-toed ungulate order. They differ from other zebras in that their stripes continue past their knees, and that they also have somewhat brown stripes in addition to the black and white stripes that are typically associated with zebras. The pastern is also not completely black on the lower half. Each zebra has its own unique stripe pattern that also includes shadow stripes. When foals are born, they have brown stripes, and in some cases, adults do not develop the black colouration on their hides and keep their brown stripes.

Chapman's zebra


In the wild Chapman's zebra live on average to 25 years of age, however that can live to be up to 38 years of age in captivity. Males usually weigh 270–360 kg (600–800 lb) and stand at 120–130 cm (48–52 in) tall. Females weigh about 230–320 kg (500–700 lb) and stand as tall as the males. Foals weigh 25-50 kg (55-88 lb) at birth. Adult zebras can run at up to 56 kilometres per hour (35 miles per hour) and have strong eyesight and hearing which are essential evolutionary defence mechanisms.

Chapman's zebra


Chapman's zebras have been observed to spend a large portion of their day feeding (approximately 50%), and primarily consume low-quality grasses found in savannas, grasslands, and shrublands, however they occasionally eat wild berries and other plants in order to increase protein intake. While they show a preference for short grasses, unlike some other grazing animals they also eat long grasses and so play an important role by consuming the upper portion of long grass that has grown in the wet season to then allow for other animals to feed. Young foals are reliant on their mothers for sustenance for approximately the first 12 months of their lives as their teeth are unable to properly breakdown the tough grasses that the adults eat until the enamel has sufficiently worn away.

Chapman's zebra


During the dry season Chapman's zebras tend not to stray too far from a water source as they frequently have to drink. During the wet season however, the zebras will join together in large herds consisting of many harems and migrate in order to find abundant food sources to feed on after the relatively sparse dry season They also try to avoid other animal migrations so as to lower competition for food. As they only require lower-quality foraging, Chapman's zebras prefer to migrate to areas with a greater density of food, and will prioritise quantity ahead of quality. By optimising foraging density and avoiding other foraging species, Chapman's zebras are able to sustain large populations which rapidly deplete foraging areas forcing them to continue migrating. In addition, Chapman's zebras also exhibit a cyclical daily movement whereby they prefer grasslands during the day and woodlands during the night so as to avoid lions, which are their main predator. They frequently move around and actively avoid areas where they recently observed lion activity.

Chapman's zebra


Chapman's zebras are highly sociable animals that live in herds of up to tens of thousands of individuals. The larger herd is composed of harems with permanent members; consisting of one herd stallion, one to six females, and their offspring. They rarely exhibit aggressive behaviour towards each other or other species. Males without a harem have also been observed to form long term cliques of their own with other bachelor males which has been shown to improve their social skills. Stallion-stallion groups are uncommon, and in the cases where they do form they are short-lasting. The females stay in the same harems all of their lives.

Chapman's zebra


Chapman's zebras spend time resting during the day and are more active at dusk. This is most likely a defensive behavioural trait as predators are more prevalent at this time of day, and so it is beneficial for members of the herd to be more vigilant at these times. On occasion a small group will rush at a potential predator in an attempt to deter it from attacking, however in general Chapman's zebras prefer to avoid any such conflicts.

Chapman's zebra


Within their harems there has been observed hierarchical social structures which dictate things such as the movements of the group, through to how they care for their offspring. High-ranking mares in particular exert pressure on the group in order to promote the survival of their own foals. When foraging, Chapman's zebras rely on the dominant member of the harem to lead them to water and food sources. The success of high-ranking harem members at leading the group to food and water determines whether they maintain leadership into the future, and shows how the zebras value stability in their respective groups. Leadership roles can change over time however. Older mares often have a higher social rank than younger harem members. Lactating females are also able to initiate movement within a harem which in turn can sometimes influence the movements of the whole herd. When a pregnant mare gives birth her foal assumes the same social status within the harem as her.

Chapman's zebra


From a young age foals are able to recognise the scent and sound of their mother and form bonds together that last into adulthood. This ability to recognise other zebras does not diminish into adulthood where they are able to differentiate amongst other group members. This is essential for creating stability within groups, which lowers inter-group competition for resources and thus improves survival. In captivity has been shown that Chapman's zebras form unique relationships with different keepers and that they alter their behaviour depending on which keeper is interacting with them.

Chapman's zebra


Males will typically fight one another in front of a group of females before they mate with them, with the highest-ranking mare in the harem the first to mate. The gestation period for Chapman's zebras is around 12 months, after which time the female will give birth to a single foal. The foal is soon able to walk with the rest of the group. This is essential for its survival, as it ensures that the mother does not have to leave it behind for the good of the other members of the harem. Each subsequent pregnancy follows a shorter period between births than the one before it as the mare become more adept at raising her foals. Male zebras that are members of the harem but not the father of the foal have been reported to practise infanticide. This has been observed in particular in captivity where zebras from different social groups are kept in close proximity. It is also possible for Chapman's zebras to be bred via an equine surrogate, as was first done in 1984.

Chapman's zebra


While not considered a threatened species, Chapman's zebras are extinct in Lesotho. Total numbers have declined approximately 25% in recent years due to human activities including farming, hunting, poaching, and droughts exacerbated by climate change. Human settlements also affect population sizes by interrupting migratory patterns and thus limiting the availability of dense food sources necessary for the sustenance of large herds. This blocks routes for the migrations of zebras and so they cannot find food as readily. There is evidence that wildlife corridors could be used to protect migratory movements by linking up ecosystems, and that the zebras would be able to adapt to these new migration paths.

Chapman's zebra


Other conservation efforts have taken place in an attempt to stabilise the population. A program at the Majete Wildlife Reserve undertook a captive breeding and reintroduction program, however it is unknown whether the zebras have the abilities required to survive in the wild, having been raised in captivity. Research at the Werribee Zoological Park aimed to create a more realistic environment for the zebras so that they can be more seamlessly reintroduced, and to then provide guidance for other breeding programs around the world. However, one particular issue in breeding programs is how to safely replicate the threat of predators so that the zebras are prepared for the wild. This threat affects a number of aspects of their lives, such as when they eat, when they rest, and when they move. As yet no solution has been found.

Chapman's zebra


Like other herbivores Chapman's zebra are susceptible to hydatidosis, a parasitic disease, but it is not often attributed as a cause of death. Infected zebras can live undiagnosed for many years without symptoms and it is not considered a serious threat. Chapman's zebras are also carriers of nematode parasites which reside in their large intestine and cause an infection called helminthiasis, which can be fatal if left untreated.

Chapman's zebra


In captive populations where life expectancy is longer, pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) or equine Cushing's disease causes excessive hormone production in zebras which commonly leads to other painful chronic conditions. A growing body of research is finding ways for zoos to better identify and treat PPID so as to improve the life expectancy and quality of life of not just Chapman's zebras, but all equids. Captive populations can also uniquely develop flexure deformity of the distal interphalangeal joint, or club foot, a condition not observed in non-domesticated populations and one that is best treated through surgery.

Chapman's zebra

The Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden (旧芝離宮恩賜庭園), also known as Kyū Shiba Rikyū Onshi Teien ("Former Shiba Villa Imperial Gift Gardens") is a public garden and former imperial garden in Minato ward, Tokyo, Japan. The garden is one of four surviving Edo-period clan gardens in Tokyo, the others being Koishikawa Kōraku-en, Rikugi-en, and Hama Rikyu Garden. Kyū Shiba Rikyū is often regarded as the most beautifully designed garden in Tokyo, and was once called the "most beautiful" scene in Japan.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


The site of the Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden was originally part of Tokyo Bay. The land was reclaimed between 1655 and 1658. In 1678 the site was used for the official samurai style residence of Ōkubo Tadamoto (1604–1670), member of the Ōkubo clan and an official of the Tokugawa shogunate. The residence garden was designed by garden designers from the Odawara Domain, until 1614 under the rule of daimyōs from the Ōkubo clan. The garden was then known as Rakujuen. At that time, the garden included a beach to Tokyo Bay, however, as Tokyo expanded the sea next to the garden was reclaimed, and there is no connection to the ocean anymore. A remaining ocean water inlet is not used.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


The residence changed ownership throughout time, and around 1860 belonged to the Kishū family of the Tokugawa clan. In 1871 the ownership changed again to the Arisugawa-no-miya clan. In 1875, the Imperial Household Agency purchased the residence and it became the Shiba Detached Imperial Villa and in 1891 a European style guest house was constructed.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


In the Great Kantō earthquake on September 1, 1923, all buildings and trees on the site were destroyed by fire. Subsequently, in January 1924, the site was donated to Tokyo City as part of celebrations preceding the Shōwa period (1926 to 1989) of Emperor Hirohito.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


The garden was rebuilt and opened to the public on April 20, 1924. In 1979 the Government of Japan designated the garden as a place of scenic beauty and special historic interest. The size of the garden, however, was reduced to make space for the railway tracks on the north side.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


The garden has an area of 43,070.53 m2. There is a circular path around the central pond Sensui (9,000 m2), which is the focus of the garden. Originally this was a salt water pond, however, as the land around was reclaimed the pond was converted to freshwater. The pond includes four islands, the central Nakajima and the smaller Ukishima, Oshima, and Yukimi-toro. Two bridges allow crossing of the pond via the larger island Nakajima. Oshima is close to the shore and can also be crossed. The inspiration for the pond originates from West Lake in Hangzhou, and the rocks on the central island represent the mountains of West Lake. One corner of the pond includes a sandy beach area named Suhama, although swimming is not recommended.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


The highest point of the park is the Oyama hill, from which a dry waterfall made from stone named Karetaki flows. A stone lantern provides supposedly a good spot for snow viewing, although Tokyo rarely gets snow nowadays. Notable is also the wisteria trellis in the picnic area, especially when the wisteria blooms at the beginning of May.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


Besides the garden office there is also a Japanese Archeryrange and a children's playground. The garden is surrounded by High-rise buildings and Skyscrapers.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


Plants found in the garden include Japanese black pine, camphor trees, azalea, Persea, Japanese iris, Platycodon grandiflorus, Crinum latifolium, Japanese wisteria, leopard plant, and spider lily.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


Wildlife include little egrets, Eastern spot-billed ducks, and carps, seasonally also tufted ducks, northern pintails, and common pochards.

Kyū Shiba Rikyū Garden


The park is located at 1-4-1 kaigan, Minato-Ku, Tokyo 105–0022, close to the JR Hamamatsuchō Station Exit 1, or a five-minute walk from Daimon Station. The garden is also close to the Hamarikyu Gardens and the Tokyo World Trade Center.

Alone is a solo piano album by jazz musician Bill Evans, recorded in the fall of 1968 for Verve Records, featuring a particularly notable 14+-minute performance of the jazz standard "Never Let Me Go". Evans contributed notes to the album, including the following statement:

Alone (Bill Evans album)


Perhaps the hours of greatest pleasure in my life have come about as a result of the capacity of the piano to be in itself a complete expressive musical medium. In retrospect, I think that these countless hours of aloneness with music unified the directive energy of my life. At those times when I have achieved this sense of oneness while playing alone, the many technical or analytic aspects of the music happened of themselves with positive rightness which always served to remind me that to understand music most profoundly one only has to be listening well. Perhaps it is a peculiarity of mine that despite the fact that I am a professional performer, it is true that I have always preferred playing without an audience. This has nothing to do with my desire to communicate or not, but rather I think just a problem of personal self-consciousness which had to be conquered through discipline and concentration. Yet, to know one is truly alone with one’s instrument and music has always been an attractive and conducive situation for me to find my best playing level. Therefore, what I desired to present in a solo piano recording was especially this unique feeling.

Alone (Bill Evans album)


Alone was recorded at Webster Hall in the East Village of New York City, during six recording sessions in September and October 1968. A Steinway & Sons concert grand piano model D-274 was chosen by Evans for this recording. Three of the songs Evans included on the album ("Here's That Rainy Day", "A Time for Love", and "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever") had appeared on Clare Fischer's recording Songs for Rainy Day Lovers, which was released the previous year, 1967. Evans would later record Fischer's own "When Autumn Comes" from this same album on his live 1973 recording The Tokyo Concert.

Alone (Bill Evans album)


Not issued until April 1970, a year and a half after it was recorded, Alone was Evans's first commercially released single-piano solo album, following in the footsteps of his 1963 Verve recording Conversations with Myself (featuring three pianos overdubbed) and his 1967 Further Conversations with Myself, also on Verve (with two pianos overdubbed). Alone has been reissued in various forms with additional tracks and alternate takes from sessions on September 23 and October 8 and 21.

Alone (Bill Evans album)


In 1971, the album won the Grammy Award for "Best Jazz Performance, Small Group." The award was presented by none other than Duke Ellington and accepted on Evans's behalf by Quincy Jones.

Alone (Bill Evans album)


In The History of Jazz, critic Ted Gioia refers to Alone as a "glorious solo album ... with an incomparable exposition of 'Never Let Me Go,'" featuring "subtle shades and gradations, almost a jazz equivalent of Bach's Goldberg Variations, in which the smallest details were shaped with infinite care."

Alone (Bill Evans album)


Evans biographer Peter Pettinger writes: "His playing on the album conveyed a feeling of unaffected nobility. ... There was much oscillation between keys a major third apart, except on the supremely paced 'Never Let Me Go,' which built and arched consistently in one tonality and unified mood."

Alone (Bill Evans album)


Another Evans biographer, Keith Shadwick, adds: "Because of the absence of all other accompaniment, Evans can be as flexible as he needs to be and takes appropriate advantage. He adopts the simplest of approaches: exposition, improvisation, resolution. He also allows himself complete freedom of invention harmonically, rhythmically, and melodically. ... [T]he resulting power and logic [are] largely due to his certain vision and thorough preparation. ... His inspiration [on 'Never Let Me Go'] is palpable."

Alone (Bill Evans album)


Of the five songs recorded for the album, all for the first time by Evans and none of them originals, "Midnight Mood" by Joe Zawinul was the only one that remained a regular part of the pianist's repertoire. Various live trio recordings of it exist from the years 1974-75, including on the album Since We Met, and 1979–80.

Alone (Bill Evans album)


This performance of "Here's That Rainy Day" by Jimmy Van Heusen was transcribed by Jed Distler and recorded by the French classical pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet on his album Conversations with Bill Evans (London/Decca, 1997). "Never Let Me Go" became sufficiently associated with Evans that Tierney Sutton included a vocal performance of it on her Evans tribute album, Blue in Green (Telarc, 2001).

The writer Kazuo Ishiguro named his acclaimed 2005 science fiction novel Never Let Me Go after seeing the title on the sleeve of this album.

The Palace Theatre is a Grade II listed building in Swansea, Wales, located at the northern end of High Street and recognisable for its distinctive wedge shape. It is Wales' oldest surviving theatre.

Palace Theatre, Swansea


Originally built in 1888 as a traditional music hall, the building was known as The Pavilion from 1883 to 1892, The Empire from 1892 to 1900, and then as The Palace in 1900 after a takeover by William Coutts, who also operated the city's Shaftesbury Hall, which was known as Swansea's "home of dancing" at the time. From 1912 it was known as the People's Bioscope Palace, bioscope being an early term for moving picture technology.

Palace Theatre, Swansea


In the early years of the 20th century, stars such as Lilly Langtry, Marie Lloyd and Dan Leno filled the venue. Charlie Chaplin performed at the palace when he was 10 years old in 1899. In the 1920s and 30s the venue started holding live theatre events, before shifting into film from the 1930s to 1950s.

Palace Theatre, Swansea


The building is one of just two purpose-built music halls left standing in the whole of the UK, and was the first place in Wales to show a silent picture. It remained undamaged by the blitz that destroyed much of Swansea city centre during the Second World War. Sir Anthony Hopkins made his first professional stage appearance there in 1960 with Swansea Little Theatre's production of Have A Cigarette.

Palace Theatre, Swansea


The venue later operated as a bingo hall, and as a private gay club. The ground-floor bar and lounge was also used as a licensed pub for many years, before closing in 2006. Eventually the theatre was sold for £300,000 to a property company, but in 2010 it was still derelict and actor Edward Fox joined a campaign to have it restored.

Palace Theatre, Swansea


In October 2013 the BBC reported on issues with the building. The Theatres Trust warned that the building "may fall down" if it did not receive any investment, Swansea Council cabinet member for regeneration Nick Bradley told the BBC that renovation would be very expensive, and as a result any Council or Government intervention was unlikely. He warned that regarding costs of redevelopment, "£1m wouldn't even touch it."

Palace Theatre, Swansea


In 2014, a new campaign for redevelopment of the site was launched on Facebook.

Palace Theatre, Swansea


In April 2014 Swansea Council made £75,000 available to the owners to carry out work on the High Street theatre, which had been named as one of the 10 most endangered Victorian and Edwardian buildings in England and Wales. The Victorian Society called it "a victim of urban decay". The council funds were earmarked for "emergency works", including making the building watertight, removing vegetation and removing loose brickwork that could be deemed "unsafe". By September 2014 the council issued a reminder to the owners that the work needed to be completed promptly.

Palace Theatre, Swansea


In 2018 the derelict theatre was identified as having become "at the hub of the city's street sex trade", after residents of High Street complained that they were no longer able to walk past the building in safety. In July 2019 the future of the theatre was discussed as part of a public "Emergency Summit", organised by Swansea Council, South Wales Police, Geraint Davies MP, and voluntary sector organisations. The summit was prompted by a spate of incidents in the city including an assault on 20 July on High Street which saw the death of a 54-year-old man. Swansea Council stated that it was yet to secure a development partner for the then privately owned Theatre. According to the Theatres Trust it remained "in a poor state of repair and extremely vulnerable", although developments "provided hope that a viable solution, which includes community use and preserves the main body of the auditorium, could be found".

Palace Theatre, Swansea


In September 2019 the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service were called out to the theatre amid reports of smoke coming from the ground and fourth-floor windows of the building. Responders dealt with a fire, but did not initially comment on whether the incident was suspicious. In late 2019 and early 2020 a plan emerged to save the former theatre, which would see it transformed into offices with community and performance space provided. In 2024 the building reopened after a 5-year renovation, and is operated by Tramshed Tech but owned by Swansea Council.

Benjamin Franklin Flanders (January 26, 1816 – March 13, 1896) was a teacher, politician and planter in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1867, he was appointed by the military commander as the 21st Governor of Louisiana during Reconstruction, a position which he held for some six months. He was the second and, as of 2025, the last Republican mayor of New Orleans.

Benjamin Flanders


Flanders was born in Bristol, New Hampshire. At the age of twenty-six, he graduated from Dartmouth College in Dartmouth, New Hampshire.

Benjamin Flanders


In January 1843, he moved to New Orleans and read law under Charles M. Emerson. The following year he left this study to become a schoolteacher and principal. In 1845, Flanders became editor of New Orleans Tropic, a local newspaper. In 1847, he married Susan H. Sawyer in Bristol, New Hampshire. She returned with him to New Orleans, where they had six children together.

Benjamin Flanders


Flanders became active in politics, elected as a Democratic alderman representing the 3rd Municipal District of New Orleans, serving from 1847 to 1852. In 1852, he was selected as the secretary and treasurer of the New Orleans, Opelousas and Great Western Railroad, a position he held until 1862. In 1861, he fled New Orleans, leaving his family behind. He had opposed secession, and sentiment against Unionists was very strong.

Benjamin Flanders


Flanders made his way to Cairo, Illinois; Columbus, Ohio; and eventually, New York City. He did not return to New Orleans until April 1862, when the city was captured by Union troops.  On July 20, he was appointed by the military government as New Orleans City Treasurer. He served until his election to Congress on December 3, 1862. He was elected along with Michael Hahn as at-large Representatives of Louisiana, assuming the seat left vacant after J. E. Bouligny's term expired in 1861. Flanders and Hahn were not seated in Congress until the last fifteen days of their terms on February 17, 1863.

Benjamin Flanders


On July 13, 1863, Flanders was made the Captain of Company C, 5th Regiment Louisiana Volunteers, a Union Army unit.  He was honorably discharged in August 1863, when he was appointed a Special Agent of the United States Treasury Department of the Southern Region by Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. He held this position until 1866. While in office, he generated commissions for the government by selling confiscated cotton from Confederate plantations. The Department of Treasury controlled licensing of cotton brokers, trying to regulate the market, but a black market flourished for the lucrative sale of cotton.

Benjamin Flanders


In 1864, Flanders campaigned for governor and finished in third place behind Michael Hahn and Fellows. He was appointed by Republicans as the first Supervising Special Agent of the Freedmen's Bureau, Department of the Gulf. At the same time, he led the movement to create a local Republican Party in Louisiana. He formed the 'Friends of Universal Suffrage' with other Louisiana Unionists (known as scalawags to opponents), as well as free men of color (who had been free before the war) and freedmen; they were working to gain black suffrage and to repeal the Louisiana Black Codes. These laws had been passed to control the movement of freedmen. Fearful of the black majority in many Louisiana districts, most white Democrats opposed giving freedmen suffrage, especially after Confederate veterans were temporarily disenfranchised unless they took a loyalty oath. The tension over the rights of freed slaves escalated into the New Orleans riot of 1866, in which whites attacked blacks.

Benjamin Flanders


In 1867, General Philip Sheridan, Commander of the 5th Military District, which included Louisiana and Texas, removed elected Governor James Madison Wells for not responding to the riots appropriately and for not advancing the rights of freedmen. Sheridan appointed Flanders as Governor of Louisiana. About six months later, on January 1, 1868, Major General Winfield Scott Hancock, as the new military commander of Louisiana, removed all radical Republicans from state offices. Governor Flanders resigned on January 8 and was replaced by General Hancock's appointee, Joshua Baker.

Benjamin Flanders


In 1867, he appointed Monroe Baker as mayor of St. Martinville, Louisiana who may have been the first African-American to serve as mayor in the United States.

Benjamin Flanders


In 1870, Governor Henry C. Warmoth, elected as part of the Reconstruction era civil government, appointed Flanders as Mayor of New Orleans. He was later elected to a full two-year mayoral term, serving until 1873.  That year, President Ulysses S. Grant appointed Flanders as Assistant Treasurer of the United States. Flanders ran unsuccessfully in 1888 as a Republican candidate for Louisiana State Treasurer; by that time, the Democrats controlled most statewide elected positions.

Benjamin Flanders


Flanders retired to his Ben Alva plantation in Lafayette Parish. He died there in 1896. His remains were interred at Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans.

Benjamin Flanders


Flanders remains the most recent Republican mayor of the city of New Orleans.

Benjamin Flanders


The unincorporated community that grew up around his Lafayette Parish plantation west of Youngsville is sometimes known as Flanders. A road into the community, New Flanders Road, was renamed Ambassador Caffery Parkway in 1975 and is now a major thoroughfare in Lafayette.

Colliers Wood is a London Underground station in Colliers Wood, south-west London. It is on the Northern line, between Tooting Broadway and South Wimbledon stations. The station is located at the corner of Colliers Wood High Street (A24) and Christchurch Road. It is in London fare zone 3.

Colliers Wood tube station


The station was opened on 13 September 1926 as part of the Morden extension of the City & South London Railway south from Clapham Common.

Colliers Wood tube station


Along with the other stations on the Morden extension, the building was designed by architect Charles Holden. They were Holden's first major project for the Underground. He was selected by Frank Pick, general manager of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL), to design the stations after he was dissatisfied with designs produced by the UERL's own architect, Stanley Heaps. Built with a shop to each side, the modernist design takes the form of a double-height three-sided box clad in white Portland stone with a three-part glazed screen on the front façade divided by columns of which the capitals are three-dimensional versions of the Underground roundel. The central panel of the screen contains a large version of the roundel. The station is a Grade II listed building.

Colliers Wood tube station


The station is close to Merton Bus garage which opened in 1913. The public house across the road is named "The Charles Holden" in honour of the station's architect.

Colliers Wood tube station


London Buses routes 57, 131, 152, 200, 219, 470 and night route N155 serve the station.

The 1894 Georgia Tech football team represented the Georgia School of Technology during the 1894 college football season. It was the team's third season.  R. T. "Dutch" Dorsey coached the team, at least in the early stages of the season, and Adger Stewart served as the manager.  Tom Raoul was named captain.  Only two players, Raoul and Murdock McRae, returned from the previous year, and McRae suffered a broken leg in the first game.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


During the year, the team was referred to as the Techs, and its colors were old gold and white (the first year Georgia Tech used "old gold" versus "gold").   Home games were played at Athletic Park Grounds in Atlanta, Georgia.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Stewart was able to supply the team with new uniforms and Dorsey led the team through practice every afternoon from 4 p.m. until dark.  The team was able to secure "first-class" sleeping and bathing quarters and went on a carefully planned diet, though the team's low weight proved to be a major disadvantage against its heavier opponents.  The team also played a scrimmage against officers from Fort McPherson, losing 0 to 4.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Despite all of the preparations, optimism, and a packed proposed schedule, the season soon broke down due to lack of adequate coaching and training, games that didn't materialize, financial issues, and the inability to maintain a consistent line-up.  Only ten men had been selected for the team as late as October 15, five days before the season had originally planned to begin.  The result was one of the worst seasons in Georgia Tech history:  the team failed to score a point and went winless over three games while suffering its worst ever defeat, a 0–94 loss to Auburn.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


One consequence of the disappointing season was the absence of a Georgia Tech team in 1895.  Dorsey reported that Georgia Tech's Trustees would not allow the Techs to field a football team the following year.  Georgia Tech would not return to the field until October 31, 1896.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Before the season started, Georgia Tech proposed a number of games: October 20 against Furman, October 27 against Mercer (later planned for December 17), November 3 and 29 against Georgia (later reduced to only one match on November 22), and November 10 against Auburn (later moved to November 17). Tech also received a challenge from the Peachtree Blues, a local club team from Atlanta. Most of these games did not materialize.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Georgia Tech's first game of the season was against the Savannah Amateur Athletic Association at Bolton Street Park in Savannah, Georgia. Savannah was a community association that had played football the previous year and re-formed as an organization prior to the opening of the 1894 season.  The Savannah players averaged about forty pounds heavier than the Techs.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Georgia Tech won the opening toss and deferred to Savannah, who employed attacks up the center.  However, neither side was able to move forward more than a few yards before being forced to punt.  Gradually, field possession began to tip in Savannah's favor, and the home team scored a touchdown with their left halfback.  This would be the only score of the first half, which ended with a score of 6–0 in Savannah's favor.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


In the second half, Tech made much better progress and reached a few yards of Savannah's goal on a couple of occasions.  On one such drive, Tech's Murdock McRae fumbled the ball and Savannah returned it within a yard of the Techs' goal.  It was returned to Georgia Tech on a foul, but Tech was forced back over the line for a safety. For the remainder of the game, the teams did not make much progress.  As darkness fell in, McRae was tackled out of bounds and severely broke his right leg just below the knee. He was treated by a couple of doctors at the game and was able to return to Atlanta that night.  The game was called with Savannah winning 8-0.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Compounding the loss, McRae's injury was a double blow to the team.  He was one of only two returning players from the 1893 season and one Tech's best players.  Following the game, Savannah offered to take the Georgia Tech players to the theater that night, but the faculty required the players to return to Atlanta.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Georgia Tech's second match-up came against Auburn, who had lost their first game of the season, at the Athletic Park Grounds in Atlanta.  The game had almost been postponed to allow Auburn a chance to play North Carolina, but the terms and compensation between Auburn and North Carolina could not be arranged.  Ahead of the game, the Thomas M. Clarke & Co., displayed two large silk flags inside its show windows to represent both teams, Auburn's in blue and orange and Georgia Tech's in old gold and white.  Spectators wore chrysanthemums on their blouses, shirts, and hats while attending the game.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Georgia Tech was outmatched from the very beginning due to Auburn's size and energy and the absence of McRae, one of its best players, and never came closer than thirty yards of Auburn's goal.  The papers said that the Tech players were "not in any shape to play football; they were not in training and had received insufficient coaching".  Ironically, Dutch Dorsey, Georgia Tech's coach and a former Auburn player, served as one of the referees.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


From the start, Georgia Tech was unable to gain much ground against the Auburn line and fumbling allowed Auburn to takeover on offense with good field position.  Auburn scored several touchdowns quickly and easily.  The Tech defense was exhausted and George Forrest was forced to call for a substitute.  W. H. Camp and Charley Hill soon followed.  By the end of the first half, Auburn was winning 40-0.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


The teams agreed to reduce the second half down to twenty-five minutes.  Auburn continued where it left off, achieve very long runs around the ends, one of them going for seventy yards. Auburn scored another 54 points in the second half, winning the game by a total of 94-0, having scored sixteen touchdowns and fifteen goals.  The game marks the largest defeat in Georgia Tech's history.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


Following the embarrassing loss to Auburn and the subsequent ridicule in local papers, Georgia Tech found itself in poor shape.  The team was no longer receiving regular coaching or training and needed its next game to be a financial success in order to refit the program for the next season.  They had asked Georgia to only play undergraduates in their upcoming Thanksgiving game on November 22, and when Georgia declined, the game was called off entirely.  After the cancellation, Tech scheduled a game with officers at Fort McPherson, instead.  Fort McPherson was coached by Leonard Wood who was the star player and coach of Tech's 1892 team.  Fort McPherson had beaten the Techs 4–0 in a scrimmage a few weeks earlier and had practiced with Tech throughout the season.  Fort McPherson was the heavier team.  In preparation for the game, Georgia Tech brought in new players including Ernest Nourse, a veteran of the 1893 team.

1894 Georgia Tech football team


The game was considered to be a messy affair lacking great skill with many plays that began offsides and reckless illegal forward passes that were not called by the referee. Georgia Tech won the toss, causing Tom Raoul to remark "I've won the toss every time, and have heretofore lost the game.  I hope it will be better this time".

1894 Georgia Tech football team


The first half started out well for the Techs and Ogletree and Meyer were all able to make big runs up the center, but eventually their momentum ran out and they were forced to punt.  The teams exchanged fumbles, but Fort McPherson had won the position battle.  Wood ran for eight yards up to ten yards from the Tech goal and Romeyn ran through the center for the score. The next series of drives were a series of struggles for Georigia Tech as they were unable to move the ball and fumbled regularly.  As the Techs became tired, their tackling suffered.  Fort McPherson used this to their advantage by running around the ends, and Tech had a difficult time stopping Wood.  At one point, a Tech play was assessed a 25-yard penalty for grabbing Wood around the ankles, which put the ball two yards from Tech's touchdown.  Romeyn scored on the next play. Tech's play became more and more sloppy with players running into each other causing their teammate to fall.  At one point, Tech attempted a fake punt, but then fumbled the ball for no gain after trying to capitalize on Fort McPherson's surprise.  Fort McPherson promptly marched down the field and Wood scored a touchdown.  The half had ended with Fort McPherson leading by a score of 16-0.

The second half became repetitive as Georgia Tech would get stopped on runs or would fumble and then Fort McPherson would score after a few plays.  Romeyn continued his great performance for Fort McPherson and had several runs of twenty yards including a forty-five-yard touchdown.  Fort McPherson would go on to score three more.  Tech continued its poor rushing attack and was forced to punt often and filed .  By the time the second half wrapped up, Fort McPherson had won 34-0.  Although a game was later scheduled for December 17 against Mercer, Georgia Tech would not play again until the 1896 season.

A bombardier or bomb aimer is the crew member of a bomber aircraft responsible for the targeting of aerial bombs. "Bomb aimer" was the preferred term in the military forces of the Commonwealth, while "bombardier" (from the French word for "bomb thrower" and similar in meaning to "grenadier") was the equivalent position in the United States Armed Forces.

Bombardier (aircrew)


In many planes, the bombardier took control of the airplane during the bombing run, using a device such as the Norden bombsight which was connected to the autopilot of the plane. Often stationed in the extreme front of the aircraft, on the way to the target and after releasing the bombs, he could also serve as the front gunner in aircraft that had a front turret.

Bombardier (aircrew)


In the latter part of the 20th century, the title of bombardier fell into disuse, due largely to changes in technology, emanating from the replacement of this manual function with the development of computerized technology and smart bombs, that has given rise to terms like weapon systems officer or combat systems officer to describe the modern role. The equivalent in the US Navy and US Marine Corps is the naval flight officer.

Bombardier (aircrew)


In the United States, the position of bombardier was originally held by a sergeant, but they were commissioned as officers in 1941. In the Commonwealth, a bomb aimer could be an officer or (more frequently) a senior non-commissioned officer (sergeant or flight sergeant) or warrant officer; like wireless operators, air engineers and air gunners, all officer bomb aimers were commissioned from the ranks after non-commissioned aircrew service, unlike pilots and navigators who could also join directly as commissioned officers.

Bombardier (aircrew)


During World War II, US Army Air Forces bombardiers were recognized with the award of the Bombardier Badge. They were selected during training for their sense of timing and manual dexterity. With the establishment of an independent US Air Force in 1947, USAF bombardiers were awarded the wings known as the Navigator badge, now known as the Combat Systems Officer badge. Commonwealth bomb aimers wore a single-wing aircrew brevet with the letter "B".

Bombardier (aircrew)


The aircraft of the United Kingdom's V bomber force carried two navigators, one of whom acted as bomb aimer, although having the official title of "navigator radar".

A nasal septum perforation is a medical condition in which the nasal septum, the bony/cartilaginous wall dividing the nasal cavities, develops a hole or fissure.

Nasal septum perforation


This may be brought on directly, as in the case of nasal piercings, or indirectly, as by long-term topical drug application, including nasal administration of ethylphenidate, methamphetamine, cocaine, crushed prescription pills, or decongestant nasal sprays, chronic epistaxis, excessive nose picking and as a complication of nasal surgery like septoplasty or rhinoplasty. Much less common causes for perforated nasal septums include rare granulomatous inflammatory conditions like granulomatosis with polyangiitis. It has been reported as a side effect of anti-angiogenesis drugs like bevacizumab.

Nasal septum perforation


A perforated septum can vary in size and location, and is usually found deep inside the nose. It may be asymptomatic, or cause a variety of signs and symptoms. Small perforations can cause a whistling noise when breathing. Larger perforations usually have more severe symptoms. These can be a combination of crusting, blood discharge, difficulty breathing, nasal pressure and discomfort. The closer the perforation is to the nostrils, the more likely it is to cause symptoms.

Nasal septum perforation


Infective causes include syphilis, leprosy, and rhinoscleroma. Non-infective causes include an in situ foreign body, facial trauma, a consequence of nasal surgery, or chronic nasal administration of cocaine, methamphetamine, or topical nasal decongestants.

Nasal septum perforation


Septal perforations are managed with a multitude of options. The treatment often depends on the severity of symptoms and the size of the perforations. Generally speaking, anterior septal perforations are more bothersome and symptomatic. Posterior septal perforations, which mainly occur iatrogenically, are often managed with simple observation and are at times intended portions of skull base surgery. Septal perforations that are not bothersome can be managed with simple observation. While no septal perforation will spontaneously close, for the majority of septal perforations that are unlikely to get larger, observation is an appropriate form of management. For perforations that bleed or are painful, initial management should include humidification and application of salves to the perforation edges to promote healing. Mucosalization of the perforation edges will help prevent pain and recurrent epistaxis and majority of septal perforations can be managed without surgery.

Nasal septum perforation


For perforations in which anosmia, or the loss of smell, and a persistent whistling are a concern, the use of a silicone septal button is a treatment option. These can be placed while the patient is awake and usually in the clinic setting. While complications of button insertion are minimal, the presence of the button can be bothersome to most patients.

Nasal septum perforation


For patients who desire definitive close, surgery is the only option. Prior to determining candidacy for surgical closure, the etiology of the perforation must be determined. Often this requires a biopsy of the perforation to rule out autoimmune causes. If a known cause such as cocaine is the offending agent, it must be ensured that the patient is not still using the irritant.

Nasal septum perforation


For those that are determined to be medically cleared for surgery, the anatomical location and size of the perforation must be determined. This is often done with a combination of a CT scan of the sinuses without contrast and an endoscopic evaluation by an Ear Nose and Throat doctor. Once dimensions are obtained the surgeon will decide if it is possible to close the perforation. Multiple approaches to access the septum have been described in the literature. While sublabial and midfacial degloving approaches have been described, the most popular today is the rhinoplasty approach. This can include both open and closed methods. The open method results in a scar on the columella, however, it allows for more visibility to the surgeon. The closed method utilizes an incision all on the inside of the nose. The concept behind closure includes bringing together the edges of mucosa on each side of the perforation with minimal tension. An interposition graft is also often used. The interposition graft provides extended stability and also structure to the area of the perforation. Classically, a graft from the scalp utilizing temporalis fascia was used. Kridel, et al., first described the usage of acellular dermis so that no further incisions are required; they reported an excellent closure rate of over 90 percent. Overall perforation closure rates are variable and often determined by the skill of the surgeon and technique used. Often surgeons who claim a high rate of closure choose perforations that are easier to close. An open rhinoplasty approach also allows for better access to the nose to repair any concurrent nasal deformities, such as saddle nose deformity, that occur with a septal perforation.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal is a daily subscription newspaper published in Las Vegas, Nevada, since 1909. It is the largest circulating daily newspaper in Nevada and one of two daily newspapers in the Las Vegas area. The Review-Journal has been owned by Sheldon Adelson since 2015. The paper had a joint operating agreement with The Greenspun Corporation-owned Las Vegas Sun, which was intended to run through 2040 but was cancelled by the Review-Journal in 2026.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


The Clark County Review was first printed in September 1909. It was founded by Charles C. Corkhill, the first sheriff of Clark County. In August 1914, Corkhill was appointed postmaster. In March 1922, Corkhill sold the Review to T.S. Trebell, who had edited the paper for the last seven months. At that time the paper was renamed to the Las Vegas Review. Several months later Trebell severed his connections to the paper and fled to California where he was arrested by the FBI for his involvement with the IWW. W.F. Rector then took charge.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


In October 1922, John H. Lightfoot bought an interest and became editor. He retired in March 1923. A month later Corkhill resumed management. He soon died and his widow May M. Corkhill published the Review. In May 1926, Mrs. Corkhill sold the paper to Frank F. Garside, owner of the Tonopah Daily Times and Gilbert Record. Al Cahlan joined him as partner and worked as managing editor. A year later Cahlan injured his hand in a printing press.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


In March 1929, James G. Scrugham, former Nevada governor and former publisher of the Nevada State Journal of Reno, established the Las Vegas Journal. That July, the Review bought the Journal and shortly thereafter began co-publication as the Las Vegas Evening Review-Journal. In the early 1940s, Cahlan and Garside's company, Southwestern Publishing, bought the Las Vegas Age, from Charles P. "Pop" Squires, which began publication in 1905 and was the oldest surviving paper in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


In April 1949, Donald W. Reynolds bought the paper for $500,000 from publisher Garside and managing editor Cahlan. Garside left the company while Cahlan remained. The word "evening" was dropped from the name. In December 1960, Reynolds exercised a buyout option with Cahlan, and bought his remaining stock. He then resigned. In 1971, a new headquarters was built. In June 1990, the Review-Journal entered into a Joint Operating Agreement with the financially struggling Las Vegas Sun, thus combining business and production operations to save money while maintaining separate newsrooms. In April 1993, Reynolds died. His company, Donrey Media Group, was then purchased longtime friend Jack Stephens, chairman of Stephens Group Inc.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


In 2000, a new $40 million printing press was installed at the paper's headquarters as part of a four-year, 152,000-square-foot expansion project. The two printing presses weigh 910 tons and consist of 16 towers. They were the largest presses in the world when they were installed. In 2005, the JOA was amended and from then on the Sun ceased afternoon publication and began distribution as a section of the Review-Journal. In March 2015, the Stephens Media newspapers were sold to New Media Investment Group. In December 2015, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson purchased the newspaper for $140 million via News + Media Capital Group LLC. GateHouse Media, a subsidiary of New Media Investment Group, was retained to manage the newspaper. $140 million was considered a steep price amounting to a 69% gain for New Media Investment Group after owning the newspaper for nine months.

Sheldon Adelson estate ownership

Las Vegas Review-Journal


When the paper was sold in 2015, it was initially unclear who the buyer was. The purchaser was a limited liability company, News + Media Capital Group LLC, and the only name listed on the documents was Michael Schroeder, a publisher of four small regional newspapers in Connecticut. At a December 10 staff meeting informing the Review-Journal staff that the paper had been sold, Schroeder was introduced as the manager. He refused to say who the owners of News + Media were, saying that employees should "focus on [their] jobs...and don't worry about who [the owners] are." Jason Taylor, the Review-Journal's publisher, said only that the ownership included "multiple owner/investors, that some are from Las Vegas, and that in face-to-face meetings he has been assured that the group will not meddle in the newspaper’s editorial content.” There were widespread rumors that the primary buyer was Sheldon Adelson, and a week later three Review-Journal reporters confirmed that the purchase had been orchestrated by Adelson's son-in-law Patrick Dumont on Adelson's behalf. A month before the new owner was revealed, three reporters at the newspaper received an assignment from corporate management: Spend two weeks monitoring the activity of three Clark County judges. One of the judges was District Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez, who was hearing a long-running wrongful termination lawsuit filed against Adelson and his company, a lawsuit alleging that Adelson's Macao casino, Sands Macao, was connected to the Chinese Triads.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


In January, a set of editorial principles were drawn up and publicized to ensure the newspaper's independence and to deal with possible conflicts of interest involving Adelson's ownership. In February, Craig Moon, a veteran of the Gannett organization, was announced as the new publisher and promptly withdrew those principles from publication. He also began to personally review, edit, and sometimes kill stories about an Adelson-promoted proposal for the future Las Vegas Raiders football stadium. In the months since, reporters say that stories about Adelson, and particularly about an ongoing lawsuit involving his business dealings in Macau, have been heavily edited by top management.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


The new ownership triggered numerous departures. On December 23, the paper's editor Mike Hengel stepped down in a "voluntary buyout". Many reporters and editors left the newspaper citing "curtailed editorial freedom, murky business dealings and unethical managers." Longtime columnist John L. Smith resigned after he was told he could no longer write anything about Adelson, a frequent focus of his reporting up until then. Within six months, all three of the reporters who broke the story of Adelson's ownership had left the paper.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


Las Vegas Review-Journal launched its website as LVRJ.com on Jan. 15, 1997. By the end of the year, it was recognized as one of the top online papers in the U.S. by the Internet Job Source. The Review-Journal also operated LasVegas.com as a general information site. LVRJ.com was redesigned in 2000 and the site was rebranded as Reviewjournal.com two years later. In 2012, the RJ launched its first apps for iPhone, Android, and iPad. A major online redesign launched in April 2017 with an emphasis on video. The RJ built a studio on its downtown campus to produce high-end live and on-demand videos for news, politics and sports.

In 1998, the newspaper killed a story about casino mogul Steve Wynn's sexual harassment of employees. The newspaper reported about the axed story in 2018, after The Wall Street Journal published a story in which dozens of people alleged that they had been victims of sexual misconduct by Wynn.

Copyright infringement litigation

Las Vegas Review-Journal


In 2010, the Review-Journal's then-owner Stephens Media launched a copyright enforcement company called Righthaven LLC, which began a series of legal suits claiming copyright infringements. The company's practice was to search the internet for uses of Review-Journal material, purchase the copyright for that material from the newspaper and then file suit for copyright infringement. According to The Wall Street Journal, "Defendants typically get no warning, no take-down request, just a suit." Between March and August 2010, Righthaven LLC filed copyright infringement suits against 107 blogs, political forums, website operators, and others.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


The Electronic Frontier Foundation, together with other pro bono attorneys, filed an Answer and Counterclaim on behalf of Democratic Underground, a political website that Righthaven sued after a Democratic Underground member posted a five-sentence excerpt from a Review-Journal article; the counterclaim, filed against Stephens Media and Righthaven asserted that alleged a "sham relationship" between the newspaper and Righthaven, and accused Righthaven of copyright fraud.

Las Vegas Review-Journal


In March 2011, a federal judge dismissed a suit brought by Righthaven, stating that no evidence had been presented that the forum posting of a Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial for 40 days for noncommercial use harmed the market value of the work. In June 2011, another federal judge ruled that Righthaven had no standing to sue for copyright infringement, on the grounds that the original parties retain the actual copyrights. In August 2011 another case was dismissed by Federal judge Philip Pro, who found that Righthaven had no standing to sue, and in any case the defendant's posting of a Review-Journal editorial to a blog was protected by fair use. The next month the Review-Journal terminated its arrangement with Righthaven, which was forced into receivership in November 2011 because of unpaid legal settlements.

Jakob Crescenz Seydelmann, also known as Crescentius Josephus Jacob Seydelmann (26 July 1750, Dresden – 27 March 1829, Dresden) was a German graphic artist and illustrator.

Jakob Seydelmann


His father, Franz Joseph Seydelmann (1713-1785), also known as Francesco Seydelmann, was a chamber singer for the Electorate of Saxony. His older brother, Franz, was a singer and composer.

Jakob Seydelmann


In Dresden, he studied with Giuseppe Canale and Giovanni Battista Casanova then, from 1772, in Rome with Anton Raphael Mengs. Upon returning home, he became professor of miniature painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. During his career there, he would visit Rome nine more times.

Jakob Seydelmann


In the late 1700s, he developed a process to extract and produce a concentrated form of sepia for use in watercolors and oil paints. He is mostly known for drawings made with that process. Well-known examples include depictions of the Sistine Madonna and Night, by Correggio, both from  the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, as were most of his reproductions.

Jakob Seydelmann


He spent many years on a commission from Tsar Alexander I, copying paintings from Italian artists, in various styles, at their original size. The copies were made for display in the Imperial Collection at the Hermitage Museum.

Jakob Seydelmann


His wife was Apollonia (née De Forgue). They were married in 1783, when she was only sixteen. Under his tutelage, she also became a well-known artist. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, Zum Goldenen Apfel, and they were close friends of the painter Gerhard von Kügelgen and his family.

In mathematics, a minimal surface is a surface that locally minimizes its area. This is equivalent to having zero mean curvature (see definitions below).

Minimal surface


The term "minimal surface" is used because these surfaces originally arose as surfaces that minimized total surface area subject to some constraint. Physical models of area-minimizing minimal surfaces can be made by dipping a wire frame into a soap solution, forming a soap film, which is a minimal surface whose boundary is the wire frame. However, the term is used for more general surfaces that may self-intersect or do not have constraints. For a given constraint there may also exist several minimal surfaces with different areas (for example, see minimal surface of revolution): the standard definitions only relate to a local optimum, not a global optimum.

Minimal surface


Minimal surfaces can be defined in several equivalent ways in

Minimal surface


{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}}

Minimal surface


. The fact that they are equivalent serves to demonstrate how minimal surface theory lies at the crossroads of several mathematical disciplines, especially differential geometry, calculus of variations, potential theory, complex analysis and mathematical physics.

Minimal surface


Local least area definition: A surface

Minimal surface


{\displaystyle M\subset \mathbb {R} ^{3}}

Minimal surface


is minimal if and only if every point p ∈ M has a neighbourhood, bounded by a simple closed curve, which has the least area among all surfaces having the same boundary.

Minimal surface


This property is local: there might exist regions in a minimal surface, together with other surfaces of smaller area which have the same boundary. This property establishes a connection with soap films; a soap film deformed to have a wire frame as boundary will minimize area.

Minimal surface


Variational definition: A surface

Minimal surface


Minimal surface


is minimal if and only if it is a critical point of the area functional for all compactly supported variations.

Minimal surface


This definition makes minimal surfaces a 2-dimensional analogue to geodesics, which are analogously defined as critical points of the length functional.

Minimal surface


Mean curvature definition: A surface

Minimal surface


is minimal if and only if its mean curvature is equal to zero at all points.

Minimal surface


A direct implication of this definition is that every point on the surface is a saddle point with equal and opposite principal curvatures. Additionally, this makes minimal surfaces into the static solutions of mean curvature flow. By the Young–Laplace equation, the mean curvature of a soap film is proportional to the difference in pressure between the sides. If the soap film does not enclose a region, then this will make its mean curvature zero. By contrast, a spherical soap bubble encloses a region which has a different pressure from the exterior region, and as such does not have zero mean curvature.

The partial differential equation in this definition was originally found in 1762 by Lagrange, and Jean Baptiste Meusnier discovered in 1776 that it implied a vanishing mean curvature. This equation gives an asymmetric definition in the sense that the position on the
