Image Tagging Image:Triscient Darkflame.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Triscient Darkflame.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Dethomas 03:22, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Suprême NTM

Mmmm the article is outdated and may contain errors
.. will try to update it later on. 217.206.58.72 11:51, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Managed to find a bit of time, and updated it a bit as promised. Will try to go in more depth next month. Adidas 15:45, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

NTM doesn't exist anymore
"While officially the band still exists, and its well-known name was used in 2001 to promote a 'duel' album pitting the two label's artists against each other, Kool Shen was quoted in 2004 saying "on a fini avec NTM en 98" ("We were done with NTM in 1998")."

It's official, NTM doesn't exist anymore. Joey Starr and Kool Shen made solo albums and are the manager of two different "labels" (french meaning). Kool Shen said he will stop his career soon. Joey Starr continue.

And the album called "The Clash" isn't a rap clash, it's a compilation of their two labels. So it's the proof that they stopped to work together...

how are they notable?
are they on a major label? did they invent a new style? if not, they aren't really notable.--Urthogie 11:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * NTM is one of the major hip hop groups to perform in the French language. They have released seven albums on the label Sony Music Entertainment (France), their music has been featured in films and on soundtracks, and their more violent lyrics have been criticized in major French publications. Not only are they notable, but they are one of the most notable hip hop groups in France.--Rockero 18:05, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok. Seems notable then.  One thing you should do is establish this notability in the article.  None of these important facts are mentioned.  Peace, --Urthogie 18:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

2008 Rebirth
The band rebirth in 2008, see French page: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprême_NTM#2008.2C_l.27ann.C3.A9e_du_retour —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mammique (talk • contribs) 20:03, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

UK influence
It should be noted, that the UK rap group Gunshot has claimed to have inspired NTM in the early days. This is plausible, due to the very similar style of beats and the speed (which was quintessentially a UK thing, and still remains to be so) of NTMs first album "Authentik".

MC Mercury (of Gunshot) has commented on this, saying

ukhh.com

Where you surprised at how well your other albums did, like in France?

Mercury

''Yes and no! Although we had a certain level of success in France, it was no way near the level of sales that IAM or NTM would make. Nevertheless, Gunshot has always had a strong link with France. Our first label, Vinyl Solution, was owned and run by 2 French guys and our very first TV appearance and video was done by a French TV station. Its just a shame that we never exploited our success in France earlier on in our career. I know that with "Battlecreek Brawl", we inspired the likes of NTM and created a bit of a following off the back of that one 12". Who knows what might have happened if we had toured extensively out there. Never mind!''

National Semipro Championship

The National Semipro Championship was a baseball tournament that started in 1935 and became the National Baseball Congress World Series.

In the inaugural year, the integrated Bismarck Churchills (sometimes called the Bismarck Semipros) of Bismarck, North Dakota beat the Halliburton Cementers of Duncan, Oklahoma. The Cementers were backed by a million dollar factory, and featured Major League and Minor League veterans.

Talk:Gentlemen v Players

Context
Italic textNB: I am aware of the existence of History of English amateur cricket; the article here is intended to concentrate specifically on the match between the two, with a list of results, records and so on. Loganberry (Talk) 11:52, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Where do you get the idea that the match was often of Test match quality. More often than not, the Gentlemen were a very weak side compared to the Players. Had it not been for WG Grace, the record of the Gentlemen would have been considerably poorer, jguk 12:05, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Er... oops. What I intended to write was something along the lines of "though often far short of Test match quality". Nothing to stop you editing it, but since you haven't I'll go and reword that bit that now. Loganberry (Talk) 23:25, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

I came across an interesting fixture this year when reading up on Devon Malcolm. Gentlemen v Players at Wormsley (JP Getty's ground) 15 August 2010 http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/305/305016.html It looks like an amateurs v former pro's match. Could be an interesting reinvention of the fixture. Gentlemen won by 5 wickets. johnnybriggs (talk) 11:55, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Somebody tried to add something about that fixture to this article, but since - apart from the names assigned to the teams - it had no connection with the original fixture it was removed. JH (talk page) 15:33, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Your photo
Hi,

I was glad to see your Brazillian Wandering spider foto. But I think it will soon get deleted because you have not as yet given permission for it to be used. Usually one adds a "license" notice that takes care of Wikipedias' worry about having somebody's copyrighted stuff onboard.

Also, it would be great if you could load your photo to Wikipedia commons. (Follow the link at the bottom of Spider to the commons and then chose "download file". That's the only kind of dangerous spider that we don't have a photo of. Somebody recently gave us some good Sydney Funnel-web tarantula pix.

Best,

Twickenham Stoop

Twickenham Stoop Stadium (informally referred to as The Stoop) is a stadium located in south-west London, England, situated just across the road from Twickenham Stadium. The stadium is home to the Harlequins in Premiership Rugby and has a capacity of 14,800.

Harlequins before the Stoop
In 1906, Harlequins were invited by the Rugby Football Union to use the new national stadium in Twickenham. In those early days, only one or two internationals at most were played there during the season, and it wasn't long before the RFU ground became the headquarters of the Harlequin Football Club.

Early days
In 1963, Harlequins acquired an athletics ground with 14 acres (57,000 m2), sited just across the road from the RFU ground, which became the Harlequins training pitch. The ground was for many years named the Stoop Memorial Ground after Adrian Stoop, a former England international, longtime Harlequins player, and club president. In 2005, the club formally renamed it as Twickenham Stoop Stadium, but it is colloquially known simply as The Stoop, with even the Harlequins' official website frequently using the informal name.

Charles Stanley Stand
Constructed for the start of the 2005–06 season, the Charles Stanley Stand (West Stand) is the Stoop's main stand, with a capacity of approximately 4,000. This stand has the changing rooms, a row of executive boxes across the top of the stand, a Members' Bar, the club's offices, toilets and a club shop. At the top of the stand under the roof there is also a scoreboard and a gantry where the television cameras populate.

DHL Stand

The DHL Stand (East Stand) has a capacity of approximately 4,000 and has a row of corporate boxes across the top. The East Stand was the first to be constructed as part of the 1997 redevelopment of The Stoop. A score board also hangs under the roof. The stand has toilets, the main public bar, Debenture Lounge and Players' Lounge. The area is also home to the "Mighty Quins Village" which is an area for children which consists of bouncy castle and face painting. The main public bar also has a stage where a live band performs after matches.

The Fullers London Pride stand
The Fullers London pride stand (formerly the south stand) was opened for the 2009–10 season. It has new toilets, a real ale bar, the Quins Head, which sells Fullers London Pride, guest ales and a club shop. The back of the stand also has a clock for the match. Until the 2022-2023 season it was named the south stand.

North Stand
The North Stand is a temporary structure with an estimated life of 10 years, and is the most recent to be developed for the 2011–12 season. It houses approximately 2,000 and is the only stand with supporting pillars. There is a time clock to the top left of the stand. In the summer of 2022, new toilets were added and an indoor seating area with tables were added.

The corner of the North and Charles Stanley Stand has a memorial for Nick Duncombe who was a promising scrum half for Harlequins and won two caps for England. He also played for the England Sevens team in the 2002 Commonwealth Games. He died of meningitis in 2003.

Redevelopment
The ground's official name changed in July 2005 from the Stoop Memorial Ground to Twickenham Stoop Stadium.

The club owns the ground freehold through its subsidiary Harlequin Estates (Twickenham) Limited. According to the 2012 annual report submitted by the club's operating company to Companies House, in 2010 external valuers placed the combined value of the land and buildings at £27.19 million on a depreciated replacement cost basis.

In an interview with the fans website on 23 April 2012, the Chief Executive, David Ellis confirmed that an architect has visited the club and given ideas on possible improvement and further expansion of The Stoop which will be further considered if Harlequins can sell out nine or ten games a season in comparison with the six games sold out in the 2011–12 season. David Ellis also said there are some immediate concerns for development such as increasing the size of the debenture lounge and the members bar. He also mentioned the queues for drinks at the bars are too long so that will be looked into as well.

On 5 September 2012 Harlequins announced that they had begun a programme of significant investment in upgrading Twickenham Stoop Stadium. All four of the stands have been deep cleaned, this has included the installation of anti-roosting netting that features an unobtrusive fine mesh, secured high in the stands that will prevent damage to the seats and decking caused by the local pigeon population. Replacement of the broken or sun-bleached seating has also commenced and eventually all seating will be replaced block by block in a rolling programme over the coming seasons. The public areas of the stands, including the toilets, are also in the process of being decorated and upgraded. Four new turnstiles have been constructed at Gate 3 by the corner of the Fullers London Pride and DHL Stand to improve access and a new PA system to improve sound quality throughout the stadium. The hospitality facilities in the DHL and Charles Stanley Stands have also undergone renovations and redecorations. Among the major improvements about to begin is the resurfacing of the North car park.

Current redevelopment plans
In November 2017, Harlequins unveiled plans to build a new state-of-the-art 25,000-seat stadium on the same Twickenham site. The project, which is being led by architects Populous, is expected to cost in the region of £50m. Concrete plans have not yet been released, and consultation with the local community and Richmond Council is currently ongoing.

Rugby League
In 1995–96 and again from 1997 to 1999, the rugby league club, London Broncos, joined Harlequins at The Stoop, and they returned again in 2006–2013, becoming Harlequins RL. In 2006 the stadium held a Harlequins rugby union match and a Harlequins rugby league game on the same day. The rugby union match was played first, and in just a few hours the stadium was switched over for the Super League match. This involved changing field markings, advertising boardings and such.

Between 2006 and 2011, The Stoop hosted the annual Rugby League Varsity Match between Oxford University and Cambridge University.

On 24 October 2009 the ground hosted the second match of the 2009 Rugby League Four Nations between world champions New Zealand and defending tournament champions (in Tri-Nations mode), Australia which resulted in a 20-all draw, 12,360 people attended the game making it the largest rugby league crowd at the venue beating the 1997 World Club Championship match between the London Broncos and Canberra Raiders where 7,819 people attended.

After eleven seasons of not playing at The Stoop, the London Broncos took their round 14 match of the 2024 Super League season against St Helens to the ground. St Helens would win the match 52-6.

Women's International Rugby Union
The ground played host to the final of the 2010 Women's Rugby World Cup.

In 2015, it began hosting what was intended to be an annual event in the World Rugby Women's Sevens Series. All matches were held at The Stoop except for the third-place match and Cup final, which were played at Twickenham Stadium. However, the Women's Sevens Series did not return to London for 2015–16.

The Stoop has become a regular venue for England Women's games, hosting Six Nations games and Autumn International Series games.

On 17 January 2016 The Stoop hosted the Women's Premiership final, for the first time.

Concert venue
In the summer of 2017, The Stoop hosted its first music concerts, with the aim of diversifying the range of events hosted, establishing itself as a music venue, as well as sports. The Stoop has hosted artists such as Elton John and Little Mix.

Image Tagging
Thanks for uploading Image:IBM Haifa Labs.JPG. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Until a more informative tag is provided, it will be listed as no source. Could you add a better tag to let us know its copyright status? If you made the image yourself, an easy way to deal with this is add gfdl if you're willing to release it under the GFDL. Alternatively, you could release all rights to it by adding NoRightsReserved. This would allow anyone to do whatever they wish with your image, without exceptions. However, if it isn't your own image, you need to specify what free license it was distributed under. You can find a list of the tags here. If it was not distributed under a free license, but you claim fair use, add {{fairuse}}. If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images by posting to my talk page. If you do this, I can tag them for you. Thanks so much, Superm401 | Talk 21:28, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging
Thanks for uploading Image:Venke Knutson 03 152476a.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use  .)  If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have tagged them, too.

Image Tagging
Thanks for uploading Image:Listen-up-2004.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Until the image has a tag and an identified source, it will be listed as no source, which means it can be deleted in 7 days. Could you add a better tag to let us know its copyright status? If you made the image yourself, an easy way to deal with this is add gfdl if you're willing to release it under the GFDL. Alternatively, you could release all rights to it by adding NoRightsReserved. This would allow anyone to do whatever they wish with your image, without exceptions. However, if it isn't your own image, you need to specify what free license it was distributed under. You can find a list of the tags here. If it was not distributed under a free license, but you claim fair use, add {{fairuse}}. If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images by posting to my talk page. If you do this, I can tag them for you.

Image Tagging Image:Jodi Lyn O'Keefe.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jodi Lyn O'Keefe.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an arguement why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Eddie DeLange

Eddie DeLange (né Edgar DeLange Moss; 15 January 1904 – 15 July 1949) was an American bandleader and lyricist. Famous artists who recorded some of DeLange's songs include Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Duke Ellington, and Benny Goodman.

Biography
DeLange was born in Long Island City, Queens, New York. His father was the playwright and actor Louis De Lange, and his mother was the actress Selma Mantell. His father tragically died when he was two years old, being found dead in a hotel room with his throat slit in what was possibly a murder or a suicide. His uncle Alexander De Lange, was a comedian who performed under the name Alexander Clark.

DeLange graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1926. He became a stunt man in twenty-four comedies produced by Universal Studios, often for Reginald Denny.

DeLange went back to New York City in 1932, earning a contract with Irving Mills. He had several hits in his first year, including "Moonglow."

He and composer Will Hudson (né Arthur Murray Hainer; 1908–1981) formed the Hudson-DeLange Orchestra in 1935. The Orchestra recorded many of their collaborative songs and did many road shows as well. Hudson and DeLange's partnership dissolved in 1938, but DeLange created a new band that played on several tours. He formed a new partnership with another composer, Jimmy Van Heusen, and together they produced a large number of hits, including "Darn That Dream". In 1942, De Lange co-wrote "A String of Pearls", a successful number for Glenn Miller.

Eddie DeLange died in Los Angeles, California, on 15 July 1949. He is interred at Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park in an unmarked grave.

The National Academy of Popular Music's Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted him into their ranks in 1989.

Family
DeLange, in 1943, married Marge Lohden (née Margaret Mary Lohden; 1918–1990). He moved with her to Los Angeles. They had two children, Stephanie Barr DeLange (born 1944) and Warren Edgar DeLange (born 1945). Eddie DeLange lived the rest of his life in Los Angeles, writing music for motion pictures.

Laser Arena

Laser Arena is an FPS PC game designed to simulate laser tag. Play modes include Free for All (Deathmatch), Team Match, Duel, Domination, and Mega Target. Players have three "health canisters", and every hit diminishes one of them. After three hits, the player counts as "dead" and has to respawn after a delay. The game is based on a heavily modified Quake engine,  and despite being a budget-title, features some elements that were unique at the time of release. For example, the game models "Lasertag Grenades" which emit a vast number of shots in all directions, tagging every player in the vicinity.

The "Mega Target" game mode is rather novel in that it requires players to hit three targets strewn across the playing arena, before they are allowed to enter a "core" in which they shoot a final target to score a point. As an added element, automated defense turrets shoot at enemy players, and some can be converted to fight for player's team by shooting at a sensor above the turret. This disables the turret for a few seconds and, if it's a convertible turret, makes it fight for player's side until an enemy deactivates/converts it again.

The game does not feature different weapons, instead the player can collect powerups that increase the firing rate or the hit damage (thus reducing an enemy's energy canisters by two instead of one) for a limited time.

The graphics engine offers Glide, OpenGL, and software rendering. Multiplayer supports up to 8 players either competitively or against bots via LAN or GameSpy. Although not officially supported, the game is moddable, and a single mod named "LaserArena Enhanced" exists, improving textures and sounds as well as adding some useful keybinds that were not available in the original game.

Roy Budd

Roy Frederick Budd (14 March 1947 – 7 August 1993) was a British jazz pianist and composer known for his film scores, including Get Carter and The Wild Geese.

Early life
Born in South Norwood, South London, Budd became interested in music at an early age and began to play the piano when he was two, initially by ear and then by copying various melodies he heard by listening to the radio. When he was six, two Austrian music experts visited him at home and after various tests, found that he had perfect pitch. In 1953, he made his public concert debut at the London Coliseum. By the age of eight, he could play the Wurlitzer organ and four years later he was appearing on television at the London Palladium.

In 1950 and 1951 he featured on the Carroll Levis show on radio. Roy also won a talent competition on a television talent show hosted by Bert Weedon in 1952. He sang some Jerry Lee Lewis songs when he was eleven years old with his brother Peter and a friend at the Sutton Granada under the name The Blue Devils.

He formed the Roy Budd Trio with bassist Peter McGurk and his cousin, drummer Trevor Tomkins before leaving school and embarking on a career as a jazz pianist. Roy later reformed the trio with Tony Archer or Jeff Clyne on bass and Chris Karan on drums. Clyne was later replaced by Pete Morgan, creating a line-up that was maintained until his death.

Budd met composer Jack Fishman while working at the Bull's Head club in London. Fishman got him signed to Pye, which released his single "Birth of the Budd" in 1965 and his album ''Pick Yourself Up!! This Is Roy Budd'' in 1967.

His first recording was "Birth of the Budd", a single recording. His first recorded LP was Pick Yourself Up on Pye issued in 1967 with Peter McGurk on bass with the orchestra and Dave Holland on bass on the four tracks featuring the trio without orchestra. Chris Karan was on drums and Tony Hatch and Johnny Harris arranged the orchestral tracks. In his sleeve notes, Hatch refers to seeing Budd on the David Frost show on television in February 1967 playing the Frank Loesser composition "I've Never Been in Love Before", which is on the album.

Around that same time, he also recorded an album named simply Roy Budd featuring Ian Carr on trumpet, Dick Morrissey on tenor sax, Trevor Tomkins on drums, playing arrangements by fellow pianist Harry South.

Film career
In 1970, Budd made his film score début for director Ralph Nelson, who was looking for an English composer for his western Soldier Blue. Budd recorded a tape of his own interpretation of music by composers Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Max Steiner, Dimitri Tiomkin and Lalo Schifrin. Apart from the main theme, which he based on Buffy Sainte-Marie's hit song of the same title, he composed all the music required for the film and conducted the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which Nelson commissioned at the start of the film's production.

In 1971, still in his early twenties, he composed one of his best known scores, the music for the film Get Carter. The film's budget reputedly allowed only £450 for the score, but he overcame this restriction by using only three musicians, including himself playing electric piano and harpsichord simultaneously. In 1981 The Human League covered the film's theme on their album Dare.

Also in 1971, Budd was asked by Nelson to compose the music to Flight of the Doves, and worked with Dana who sang the film's theme; and composed the scores for the adventure Kidnapped and the western Catlow. In 1972 he recorded the score to Fear Is the Key, which was based on the Alistair MacLean novel. Whilst recording the score, Budd was influenced by Ronnie Scott, Tubby Hayes and Kenny Baker, thus giving the music a jazz-sounding theme. Scott played the saxophone for the car chase sequence.

Budd later worked for the producer Euan Lloyd on films, including Paper Tiger (1975), The Wild Geese (1978), The Sea Wolves (1980), Who Dares Wins (1982) and Wild Geese II (1985).

Later career
Budd's film work in the eighties included the scores for Mama Dracula (1980), Field of Honor (1986), and Picha's adult cartoons The Missing Link (1980) and The Big Bang (1987). Returning to his first love, he played jazz shows at Duke's Bar in Marylebone, London, partnering with harmonica player, Larry Adler. He also arranged for and accompanied Bob Hope, Tony Bennett, and Charles Aznavour.

Budd recorded two albums of film music with the London Symphony Orchestra. The first contained "Star Wars Trilogy", "Superman", "E.T.", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Star Trek: The Full Suite", "Alien", "Dr. Who", "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger". This was recorded at the end of May and beginning of June 1984 at the CTS Studio in Wembley. In 1985, the London Symphony Orchestra made a recording of the music from The Wild Geese, again at CTS Studio. Budd's other solo albums include Live at Newport, Everything is Coming Up Roses, and Have a Jazzy Christmas.

Budd's last work was a symphonic score for the 1925 silent film The Phantom of the Opera.

Personal life
In 1972, as his career was peaking, Budd married the actress and singer Caterina Valente, but they divorced seven years later. They had a son named Alexander. He remarried in the 1980s to Sylvia and they remained together until his death.

Roy Budd died of a brain haemorrhage at the age of 46 on 7 August 1993.

Alfred Rethel

Alfred Rethel (May 15, 1816 – December 1, 1859) was a German history painter.

Early life and education
Rethel was born in Aachen in 1816. He showed an interest in art in his early life, and at the age of thirteen he executed a drawing which procured his admission to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Here he studied for several years, and produced, among other works, a figure of St Boniface, which attracted much attention.

Career
At the age of twenty, Rethel moved to Frankfurt, and was selected to decorate the walls of the imperial hall in the Römer with Fresco paintings of figures of famous men. At the same period he produced a series of designs illustrative of Old Testament history. Four years later, Rethel was the successful competitor for the work of ornamenting the restored council house of his native city with frescoes depicting prominent events in the career of Charlemagne, but the execution of this work was delayed for some six years. Meanwhile, Rethel occupied himself with the production of easel pictures and of drawings. In 1842, he began a striking series of designs dealing with the Crossing of the Alps by Hannibal, in which the weird power which animates his later art becomes first apparent.

In 1844, Rethel visited Rome, executing, along with other subjects, an altar-piece for one of the churches of his native land. In 1846, he returned to Aachen, and commenced his Charlemagne frescoes. But mental derangement, attributed, it is believed, to an accident that he suffered in childhood, began to manifest itself. While he hovered between madness and sanity, Rethel produced some of the most striking, individual, and impressive of his works. Strange legends are told of the effect produced by some of his weird subjects. He painted Nemesis pursuing a murderer across a flat stretch of landscape. A slaughtered body lies on the ground, while in front is the assassin speeding away into the darkness, and above an angel of vengeance. The picture, so the story goes, was won in a lottery at Frankfurt by a personage of high rank, who had been guilty of an undiscovered crime, and the contemplation of his prize drove him mad.

Another design which Rethel executed was "Death the Avenger," a skeleton appearing at a masked ball, scraping daintily, like a violinist, upon two human bones. The drawing haunted the memory of his artist friends and disturbed their dreams; and, in expiation, he produced his pathetic design of "Death the Friend." Rethel also executed a powerful series of drawings "The Dance of Death" suggested by the Belgian insurrections of 1848. It is by such designs as these, executed in a technique founded upon that of Albrecht Dürer, and animated by an imagination akin to that of the elder master, that Rethel is most widely known.

Death
Alfred Rethel died on December 1, 1859, in Düsseldorf from the effects of a brain disease. In his last years, his brother Otto Rethel (1822–1892) took care of him, as well as his young wife Marie Grahl, the daughter of August Grahl, and their daughter Else Sohn-Rethel.

Rethel's picture of "Peter and John at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple" is preserved in the Leipzig Museum, and his picture of "St Boniface" and several of his cartoons for the frescoes are preserved in the Berlin National Gallery. Rethel's Life by Wolfgang Müller von Königswinter was published in 1861.

Chet Brewer

Chester Arthur Brewer (January 14, 1907 – March 26, 1990) was an American right-handed pitcher in baseball's Negro leagues. Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, he played for the Kansas City Monarchs, and from 1957 to 1974 he scouted for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Brewer toiled on the mounds of black baseball for twenty-four years with an assortment of teams throughout the world, including China, Japan, the Philippines, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Santo Domingo, and in forty-four of the forty-eight continental United States.

While with the Kansas City Monarchs, Brewer was a part of legendary starting rotations including Satchel Paige and Bullet Rogan. Brewer had a lively fastball and a devastating overhand "drop ball," which was especially tough on left-handed hitters. He also threw an emery ball (learned from Emory Osborne and Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe. ) when such practice was legal.

Brewer's career covered a wide experiential range, including playing against major leaguers in exhibition games. In 1934 he pitched against an all-star team that included Jimmie Foxx and Heinie Manush, and later was manager of the Kansas City Royals, who played in the California Winter League against Bob Feller and other major leaguers. In 1945, he managed the Kansas City Royals of the California Winter League, coaching among other players a young Jackie Robinson, already destined for the Brooklyn Dodgers' organization.

In 1952 Brewer was a player-manager for the Porterville Comets of the Southwest International League, becoming one of the first black managers in Minor League Baseball history, as he joined Sam Bankhead, who a year earlier played and managed for the Farnham Pirates of the Provincial League. At 45, Brewer posted a 6–5 record in 24 pitching appearances (seven starts), posting a 3.38 ERA for the fourth-best in the league. 1985-1990 Chet Brewer and his staff also coached Los Angeles Inner City athletes on weekends, players such as: George Hendrick, Ellis Valentine, Reggie Smith, infielder turned CBS Sports Broadcaster Rich Perez and Don Newcombe’s son participated as well.

Hall of Fame hopeful, Chet Brewer died at age 83 in Whittier, California.

I'm afraid that I have to say it out. Just now I have found that the websites that are listed above all say that the images obtained in those respective websites are for non-commercial use only. Moreover, one copyright notice state that the images are only for personal and non-commercial internal use.

London Arena

The London Arena (also known as London Docklands Arena) was an indoor arena and exhibition centre in Millwall, close to the Cubitt Town area of Poplar, on the Isle of Dogs, in east London, England which was inaugurated in 1989 and demolished for housing in 2006.

It could seat up to 12,500 people in the stands and up to 15,000 in concert mode. Events ranged from sport events like basketball, ice hockey, professional wrestling, and boxing to music concerts and trade exhibitions. It was the home of the London Knights ice hockey team, the London Towers basketball team and later the Greater London Leopards basketball team.

History
The arena was built in a converted shed (itself built in 1969) on the grounds of a former harbour warehouse at Millwall Inner Dock as part of the redevelopment of the Docklands area, which was developed from a harbour and industrial area to a trade and residential one. The project was led by peer Malcolm Mitchell-Thomson, 3rd Baron Selsdon, sports commentator Ron Pickering, music promoter Harvey Goldsmith, and boxing promoter Frank Warren. The conversion, scheduled to cost £8 million, was funded partly by a consortium of Bovis, GEC and Mecca Entertainment, and partly by the land owners London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC), the Sports Council of Great Britain, the Amateur Athletics Association and Tower Hamlets London Borough Council. Bovis were the management contractors.

The venue originally opened in March 1986, but was immediately rebuilt under new plans and reopened officially in April 1989. As part of the conversion into an arena, the central bays were replaced with a tall new structure to seat 12,615 spectators. The architects were Stewart K. Riddick & Partners with the steel frame designed by Fairhursts and assembled by Graham Wood. The final cost of the whole conversion was £24 million. The arena was a hangar-like building with an uninterrupted span of 281ft (86m) on 59ft (18m) columns, the largest such hall erected in Britain since Wembley Arena opened in 1934.

The London Arena went into receivership in May 1991. Spectacor Management Group (SMG), the world's largest private facility management company, took over ownership of the London Arena in 1994. The company manages arenas and stadiums in the US and Europe, including the Louisiana Superdome, the Mile High Stadium in Denver and the Ullevaal Stadium in Oslo. During 1998, SMG entered into a partnership agreement with another American based company, Anschutz Sports Holdings, to hold an equal share in the ownership of London Arena.

Renovation
The arena received a £10 million refit in 1998, allowing the capacity of the arena to be altered hydraulically. One of the primary reasons for the refit by joint owners, Anschutz Entertainment Group, was to introduce professional ice hockey back to London with the London Knights. Along with this, the brief given to architects, HOK Sport (now Populous), was to turn the arena into a major multi-entertainment centre. This involved introducing a permanent Olympic-size ice rink, 48 luxury hospitality boxes with views over the arena, two brand new team dressing rooms, a completely refurbished foyer and box office, plus a state-of-the-art SACO SmartVision video scoreboard, the only one of its kind outside the US.

However, the arena continued to struggle to attract enough visitors and events to be profitable and it never managed to become a financial success. One reason for this was its rather isolated geographical position, combined with poor local road and public transport access and limited parking space, although it was well served by the Crossharbour and London Arena DLR station. However, on days when events were held at the arena, it was not uncommon for the small station to be severely overcrowded.

Sale, closure and demolition
In 2003, the arena was sold, which, combined with the disbanding of the Ice Hockey Superleague, led to the folding of the London Knights, the only tenant at the arena at the time, leaving the arena without a permanent tenant, which made the situation worse.

In 2005, the arena was closed and was superseded as the main arena by The O2 Arena, which is in The O2 entertainment complex (formerly the Millennium Dome).

The arena was demolished in June 2006 and has since been replaced by a mostly-residential development, including the Baltimore Tower. In 2007, the Crossharbour and London Arena DLR station was renamed to simply Crossharbour. However, the London Arena name still remains on a few street signs in the area.

Events
On 18 November 1989, the Arenaball Transatlantic Challenge, the first ever Arena Football League exhibition game in Europe, was played there, with the Detroit Drive winning over the Chicago Bruisers 43–14.

In 1989, the WWE held its first ever United Kingdom event at the London Arena, as well as the UK Rampage 1991 event and Capital Carnage in December 1998. In 1995 it was the venue for the Nigel Benn vs. Gerald McClellan boxing match. It hosted the Lennox Lewis vs. Francois Botha heavyweight boxing fight in 2000, and the Naseem Hamed vs. Manuel Calvo featherweight bout in 2002.

Frank Sinatra played the arena in summer 1990, with the Woody Herman Orchestra conducted by Frank Sinatra Jr..

The 1998 and 1999 editions of the Brit Awards were held at the arena, and from 1989 until 2001, it was also the annual venue of the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party.

In the year 2000 World Championship Wrestling would tour the UK twice, unknown to many it would be the final times they would be on British shores before being purchased by rival promotion World Wrestling Entertainment in March 2001. The first tour in March was a part of non-televised "house" shows, the show at the Docklands Arena was a sell out, then on November 13 they would return for a televised episode of WCW Nitro which also sold out the Docklands Arena. The episode is available on the WWE Network.

In December 2005, it housed the annual 'Crisis Open Christmas' event (held the previous year in the Millennium Dome) providing food, accommodation and various medical and social services to homeless people in London, organised by the London-based homelessness charity Crisis.

Television
The arena was used as a studio to film the tenth and final series of the ITV gameshow You Bet! in 1997.

Society for German Colonization

The Society for German Colonization (Gesellschaft für Deutsche Kolonisation, GfdK) was founded on 28 March 1884 in Berlin by Carl Peters. Its goal was to accumulate capital for the acquisition of German colonial territories in overseas countries.

History
Peters had just returned from London, where he lived with his well-off uncle Carl Engel and studied the principles of European colonialism. In the autumn of 1884 he proceeded, together with his friends Karl Ludwig Jühlke and Count Joachim von Pfeil, to the Sultanate of Zanzibar. Peters had initially planned to prospect for gold in Southern African Mashonaland (in present-day Zimbabwe) but discovered that the territory had already been claimed by the British.

Peters' Zanzibar expedition was a nuisance to the German government of Chancellor Bismarck, focused on good relations with both Sultan Barghash bin Said and the British Empire, and the German consul Gerhard Rohlfs made that clear to him. Peters, Jühlke and von Pfeil, suspiciously eyed by the British envoy John Kirk, thereupon embarked to the East African Tanganyika mainland. During their journey in November and December 1884, Peters concluded several "treaties of protection" (Schutzverträge) with tribal chiefs in the Useguha, Ussagara, Nguru, and Ukami regions as a "Representative of German Colonization". The provisions, issued in German, conferred all rights to exploit the territories on the Gesellschaft für Deutsche Kolonisation in exchange for some inexpensive gifts.

Returning to Germany in February 1885, Peters demanded the implementation of an official protection status for the areas. Bismarck meanwhile had developed his own colonial strategies and from 15 November 1884 hosted the Berlin Conference that fuelled the "Scramble for Africa". Though the chancellor still expressed serious doubts regarding Peters' land acquisitions, he finally gave in with respect to the expansion of the Belgian colonial empire in Congo while the British were occupied with Mahdist War in Sudan. One day after the end of the Berlin Conference, on 27 February 1885, the GfdK obtained an imperial charter issued by Emperor Wilhelm I.

On 2 April 1885 Peters formed the German East Africa Company (Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Gesellschaft, DOAG), modelled on the East India Company. He was aware that the imperial charter marked the beginning of a large-scale seizure of land to create reality, which soon resulted in an official note of protest by Sultan Barghash bin Said. Bismarck found himself constrained to send a squadron of Imperial Navy gunboats under Admiral Eduard von Knorr to the port of Zanzibar, whereafter the sultan relented and on 20 December 1885 signed a "treaty of friendship" recognising the acquisitions of German East Africa. However, Peters' ongoing impetuous advance caused further unrest, culminating in the Abushiri Revolt of 1888/89.

The DOAG superseded the Gesellschaft für Deutsche Kolonisation which was merged in 1887 with the into the German Colonial Society (Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft).
