# Olav Fjell

Olav Fjell (born 28 June 1951) is a Norwegian businessperson. He was the chief executive officer (CEO) of Statoil from 1999 to 2003, and of Hurtigruten from 2007 to 2012.

## Career

Fjell has a siv.øk. degree from the Norwegian School of Economics in 1975 as well as education from the Royal Norwegian Army. His career started as an accountant at Kongsberg Vaabenfabrik in 1975 where he stayed until 1987, by which time he had become vice president. He had a continual employment in Bergen Bank, Den norske Bank and finally as CEO of Postbanken until he was hired as CEO of Statoil in 1999. After quitting in Statoil in 2004 he worked as a strategic and financial adviser for First Securities. He was later chief executive of Lindorff from 2006 to 2007 and Hurtigruten from 2007 to 2012.
He has also had a number of board positions, including chairman of NSB (Norwegian State Railways) from 2000 to 2003, in Eastern Drilling and Lindorff. He currently chairs of the boards of Statkraft and Deep Sea Supply.
He is a fellow of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences.

## Controversy

As a controversial businessperson, Fjell has had a strained relationship with the press. In his last period as CFO in Kongsberg, he had massive problems internally because of the company's economic fall and felt that the press was excessive and critical. As in 2003 with the Statoil corruption case in Iran it was Dagens Næringsliv that led the critical journalism. It ended with him being decommissioned from his position with Kongsberg.
Fjell was central in the corruption scandal that Statoil experienced in 2003. After pressure both internally and from the media the board had to remove Fjell on the evening of 22 September 2003. Statoil was fined 20 million kr for corruption from the Norwegian National Authority for the Investigation and Prosecution of Economic and Environmental Crime. Despite the seriousness of the case and the weakening of the name of Statoil, Fjell was according to the media given a compensation between NOK 7.5 and 10 million. In addition he sued Statoil with demands for early pension from 60 years equal to 66% of his wage. Statoil denied this agreement, though it was mentioned in the press release at the time of Fjells departure. In December 2005 Fjell won the court case, and he can expect payments from Statoil up to about NOK 40 million.
# Mangroomer

The Mangroomer is a product that men can use to shave their own back hair.
The device was invented by Brett Marut, a resident of Santa Monica, California, after he suffered from pain and embarrassment while having his back professionally waxed at a salon full of female customers. It first went on sale in 2006 and quickly gained popularity through online retailers. The Mangroomer is an electric razor which The New York Times remarked "resembles a futuristic kung fu weapon." When it is folded open and its telescoping handle is extended to its maximum length, the Mangroomer is almost two feet long.

# Castro's Beard

Castro's Beard is a play by British playwright Brian Stewart. The play centers on the true plots by the CIA to assassinate Fidel Castro in the 1960s.

## Initial productions

The play Castro's Beard was first produced by the Deptford Players, Off-Broadway in 2001. The New York Times described it as a "mordant, irreverent comedy that was timely and thought-provoking." It was subsequently produced by the Barrington Stage Company in Massachusetts in 2002 and then at the Stages Repertory Theatre, Houston in 2004.
Following a rehearsed reading at the Arts centre in London in 2005 - with a cast that included David Soul and Timothy West - the play was produced by the Theatre Royal Haymarket, in association with Richard Jordan Productions and the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, Guildford, and embarked on a number one tour of the UK in 2006 when the name was changed to Killing Castro. The cast included: Edward Hardwicke (Torphy), Clive Mantle (Brawner), Michael Praed (Madison) and Martin Shaw's son, Joe Shaw, as Drake.

## Reception

The work received mixed reviews in the UK. It was described by the Birmingham Mail as an "acclaimed comedy" which "chronicles the more bizarre of America's attempts to kill the Cuban leader Fidel Castro - including filling his shoes with poison and inventing an exploding cigar". The Daily Telegraph said, "The British dramatist Brian Stewart appears to have got lucky with this intermittently entertaining but rather trite little play about the CIA's plots to bump off Fidel Castro". Although, Michael Billington of The Guardian was much more complimentary: "Stewart's weapon is comedy. But his argument, that America will stop at nothing in its defiance of international law, is no different from that of" Harold Pinter's Nobel speech.

## Later productions

The play was published by Josef Weinberger in 2009. In 2013, the play was translated into Polish by Karolina Mackiewicz and performed in repertory by the Teatr Polski Szczecin as Operacja Castro; the director was Bartłomiej Wysozomirski.

# Lester Hogan

Clarence Lester Hogan (February 8, 1920 – August 12, 2008) was an American physicist and a pioneer in microwave and semiconductor technology.
He grew up as a brother to three sisters in Great Falls, Montana, where his father worked for the Great Northern Railway. After graduating from Montana State University with a degree in chemical engineering he joined the United States Navy in 1942. He did some work on acoustic torpedoes in Chesapeake Bay, and when being approached by Bell Laboratories, subsequently went to the Pacific theatre to train submarine crews in the use of that technology.
After the war he did post-graduate studies at Lehigh University and obtained a Ph.D. in physics. He then joined Bell Labs in 1950. A couple of months later he invented the Microwave Gyrator (a device which can simulate inductance by substituting an RC circuit, thus getting rid of awkward coil assemblies). He worked under Bill Shockley, inventor of the transistor and Nobel Prize laureate. From 1953 through 1958 he was a professor at Harvard University, when he was asked by Dan Noble to join Motorola Semiconductor in Phoenix, Arizona, as vice president and general manager of the semiconductor operation.
In 1968 he moved to Fairchild Camera & Instrument as Chairman and CEO, taking eight senior executives (nicknamed Hogan's Heroes) with him. This move caused Motorola to sue Fairchild (unsuccessfully) for theft of trade secrets.
In 1975 he received IEEE's "Frederik Philips Award". In 1978 he was honoured with the "AeA Medal of Achievement". In 1993 he received the "MTT-S Microwave Pioneer Award". In 1996, a chair at the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley was named in his honor, currently held by Shafi Goldwasser. On October 20, 1999, he was inducted as "Eminent Member" of Eta Kappa Nu, "the society’s highest membership classification, to be conferred upon those select few whose technical attainments and contributions to society through leadership in the field of electrical and computer engineering have resulted in significant benefits to humankind".
C. Lester Hogan died at the age of 88 due to complications of Alzheimer's disease at his home in Atherton, California.
# L. Francis Griffin

Rev. Leslie Francis Griffin (September 15, 1917 – January 18, 1980) was an American civil rights advocate, and minister. He was nicknamed the "fighting preacher," because of his activism, and served as the pastor at First Baptist Church.

## Biography

He was born on September 15, 1917, in Norfolk, Virginia. During World War II (from 1941 until May 1945), Griffin served in the 758th tank battalion in the United States Army. Griffin attended Shaw University's bachelor of divinity program in Raleigh, Virginia.

Griffin had two daughters who were denied access to Prince Edward County, Virginia's segregated public schools for whites and Griffin sued on their behalf in a case that became part of Brown vs. Board of Education. The daughters lived with white families in California and attended schools there after the county closed its schools rather than integrate.
He died on January 18, 1980, in Farmville. Starting in 1982, Griffin Boulevard in Farmville, Virginia, is named for him. In 2008, the Virginia Civil Rights Memorial was created on the grounds of Capitol Square in Richmond, Virginia which features a sculpture of him. In 2015, the L.

# Li Xiucheng

Li Xiucheng (Chinese: 李秀成; pinyin: Lǐ Xiùchéng; 1823 – August 7, 1864) was a military rebel commander opposing the Qing dynasty during the Taiping Rebellion. He was born to a peasant family. In 1864, he was captured and interrogated following the third and final Battle of Nanjing. He was then executed by Zeng Guofan.

## Name

He was sometimes called the Loyal King (Chinese: 忠王; pinyin: Zhōng Wáng). This title was bestowed after he refused a bribe from a Qing general officer to kill Hong Xiuquan, the founder and leader of the rebellion.

## Biography
### Second rout of the Jiangnan Army Group

Army Group Jiangnan (江南大營) was an important Qing army barracks in Nanjing. Forces led by Li Xiucheng besieged the barracks in an attempt to force its occupants to surrender. Beginning from March 1858 during the second encirclement, the Qing army commanded 200,000 soldiers to fight against Taiping forces, but they were routed by Li Xiucheng in May 1860. After that, Li went on to occupy all of Jiangsu provinces except Shanghai.

### Nanjing

Li worked alongside fellow Taiping General Chen Yucheng to defend and release the capital during the siege of Nanjing in 1860.

### Escape from Suzhou

Li Xiucheng's palace in Suzhou is the only one from the Taiping Rebellion era that still exists today. In July 1863, Li ordered his daughter's husband, Tan Shaoguang, to capture Suzhou. But Li Hongzhang led the Huai Army combined by the "Ever Victorious Army", which, having been raised by an American named Frederick Townsend Ward, was placed under the command of Charles George Gordon. With this support, Li Hongzhang gained numerous victories, leading to the surrender of Suzhou.

## Writing

Loyal Prince Li Xiucheng In His Own Words (Chinese: 《忠王李秀成自述》) is his autobiographical account written shortly before his execution.

## Li's sword

When Li withdrew from Suzhou, his sword, the symbol of his power, was given to his young brother Li Shixian. Li Shixian took this sword, but it was confiscated when he was captured by Charles George Gordon in Liyang. Charles George Gordon returned to the UK with Li's sword, and presented it to Queen Victoria's cousin, Chief Commander of the Military the Duke of Cambridge.
On 30 August 1961, the sword ended up in the hands of a history professor at the University of London. In 1981, this sword was returned to China, where it is currently stored in the National Museum of China.

## Children

Li Xiucheng had a son, Li Rongfa and three daughters. Li's daughters married Taiping generals, including Tan Shaoguang and Chen Binwen.
