# Ross Stevenson (radio presenter)

Ross Stevenson (born Ross Campbell; 25 August 1957) is an Australian radio presenter on Melbourne station 3AW. The lighthearted breakfast news and gossip show, Breakfast with Ross & Russel, is one of Australia's most successful radio shows.

## Career

He attended Trinity Grammar School in Melbourne, where he was Dux of the school. After leaving Trinity he studied at Melbourne University. Stevenson's initial career was as a lawyer at Melbourne law firm Darvall McCutcheon and then at Slater & Gordon. In 1985, while still a lawyer, Stevenson began his radio career on community station 3RRR where he partnered with fellow lawyer Denis Connell on a show called Lawyers, Guns and Money, a reference from a Warren Zevon song ("Send lawyers, guns and money, the shit has hit the fan"). Denis Connell was known as "Donoghue", and together as "Donoghue & Stevenson", in reference to one of the most famous negligence cases that every legal studies and law student would have heard about in class.
After four years building a cult following at 3RRR, Stevenson and Connell were recruited by 3AK and joined by anchorman Dean Banks. In 1990, they crossed to 3AW where they continued to build audience following. Connell was sacked in 1991 by program director Steve Price.
For the following 10 years Stevenson and Banks established themselves and their style as a ratings success. In December 2000, Banks decided to retire, again leaving Stevenson to find a new partner.
From 2001, John Burns joined Stevenson as co-host. Burns had previously been a regular Friday morning contributor to the show as the character, 'Sir Lunchalot', providing humorous restaurant reviews and tips on dining etiquette. Burns retired in July 2020 and was replaced by Russel Howcroft.
Breakfast with Ross and Russel is the station's top rating program and Stevenson is a highly regarded radio presenter by the public and many of his peers. He is believed to be Australia's highest paid breakfast broadcaster, and in 2011, signed a lucrative eight-year contract with 3AW.

## Television

Stevenson is also known for co-writing the comic television series The Games with John Clarke which starred Clarke, Gina Riley, Bryan Dawe and Nicholas Bell. The Games satirised the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG). They also co-wrote A Royal Commission into the Australian Economy.

## Awards

* 2011 Australian Commercial Radio Awards (ACRA) Winner Best On-air Team – Metro AM (joint winner with on-air partner, John Burns)

## Personal life

Stevenson and his former partner, Sarah Fallshaw, share a son and a daughter. The pair separated in early 2025. Additionally, Stevenson has two other sons from a previous relationship with Jamie Wilczek.
In 1971, at 14 years of age, Stevenson was part of a choir which featured on the Colleen Hewett song "Day By Day" produced by Molly Meldrum.
Stevenson is a keen punter, horse-racing enthusiast and owner.
Stevenson is a keen Hawthorn Football Club supporter. He played over 100 games for VAFA club University Reds (now part of Fitzroy Football Club).

# Victor Chandler

Victor William Chandler (born 18 April 1951) is a British businessman, bookmaker, and the former chairman of Victor Chandler International.

## Early life

Chandler is the son of Victor Chandler Sr, and the grandson of William Chandler, who founded the family's bookmaking business and owned London's Walthamstow Stadium. He inherited a 20% stake in Walthamstow Stadium when his father Victor Sr. died in 1974.

## Off-shore bookmaking

Victor Chandler is often credited as the first bookmaker to recognise the importance of online gambling, as well as being the first to move his gaming business offshore.
In the early 1990s, Chandler began to accept football wagers from far-eastern clients and, in doing so, he recognised the potential growth in foreign markets. He opened up an office in Antigua to enable these clients to bet without the need to pay UK tax.
In the UK, punters were required to pay a 9% betting tax, but in 1996 Chandler obtained a betting licence in Gibraltar and in 1999 moved his entire business there. Over the next decade the company grew quickly and now employs over 400 people. Making it one of the largest private employers on the Rock. Victor Chandler has offered free betting from £5, and in 2001 the then-Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown announced that he was scrapping UK betting tax.

## Horse ownership

Chandler has owned many racehorses over the past three decades in United Kingdom, South Africa & United States. Following some success over the years, Chandler formed a syndicate called "Men in Our Position" which owned the 2009 Cheltenham Triumph Hurdle winner Zaynar, trained by Nicky Henderson. Zaynar re-appeared on 21 November 2009 at Ascot Racecourse where he demolished a top-class field in winning the Coral Ascot Hurdle by 6 lengths as reported by the Racing Post. Zaynar was then aimed at the Champion Hurdle, for which he was one of the Ante-Post favourites for the race. After running a galant race Zaynar finished third in the race.

## Personal wealth

In the 2009 Sunday Times Rich List Chandler was ranked 362nd with a fortune estimated at £150 million, declining by more than half from the previous year's estimation of £365 million.

## Lucian Freud friendship

In an article in the Observer in June 2008 Chandler spoke of his friendship with the artist Lucian Freud, and mentioned the portrait of Victor which Freud completed and sold for £4.5m in 2006.

## Nottingham Forest

In July 2009 Chandler agreed to become the main sponsor of Nottingham Forest F.C. for a reported "significant six-figure fee". As part of his sponsorship he offered to pay for the following year's season tickets for Forest fans who opened an online account should Forest win the league. At the time of the offer Forest were rated as 80/1 outsiders to do this, but after a run of 19 games undefeated, Forest became second in the Championship of January 2010. Chandler claimed Forest winning the league would cost him approximately £6m. After a poor March and April Forest's chances of winning the league receded and they instead qualified for the Football League play-offs where they were eliminated by Blackpool at the semi-final stage.

# Karl Brendel

Karl Brendel is the pseudonym of Karl Genzel (21 March 1871 – 21 August 1925), a schizophrenic outsider artist and one of the "schizophrenic masters" profiled by Hans Prinzhorn in his field-defining work Artistry of the Mentally Ill (1923, in German; English edition 1972). He was the only sculptor profiled in Prinzhorn's work, and the work also includes more illustrations of his work (twenty-four sculptures and eight drawings) than that of any other profiled artist.

## Life

Brendel was born in central Germany, the son of a freight transporter and one of eight children, attending school through the age of 14 and becoming employed variously as a bricklayer, plasterer, and iron moulder in a foundry. He married a widow with three children in 1895 and had two children of his own with her. However, from 1892 on Brendel was sentenced 12 times for assault and battery and property damage, and had to serve a prison term in 1902, at which point his marriage ended. His left leg was injured in an accident in 1900, and later amputated.
The first records of his mental illness come from 1906, when the prison doctor noticed megalomaniacal delusions and abnormal physical sensations; Brendel claimed that he has already experienced a sacrificial death, and that he was Jesus Christ. He was admitted to the Eickelborn asylum, near Lippstadt, in 1907.

## Art

Brendel's first artistic expressions came from 1912, when he began modeling obscene figures out of chewed bread. Although none of his bread sculptures survive, he was encouraged by a physician to begin woodcarving at this time.
His favorite subjects for carving were animal reliefs and depictions of his religious hallucinations, particularly the Christ motif. All of his human figures, including Christ, were usually depicted as hermaphrodites. Brendel generally worked in hard woods which he then painted or varnished.
# Sharpfinger

SHARPFINGER is a brand of knife modeled after the Schrade 152 OT. The SHARPFINGER trademark is designated to a variety of knives in this design (3.5 in (8.9 cm) upswept blade) by a number of makers.

## History

The Sharpfinger knife was primarily produced by American companies such as Imperial Schrade and Camillus Cutlery Company, as well as by custom knifemakers. However, Imperial Schrade ceased its U.S. operations in 2004, followed by Camillus in 2007, and the rights to those brand names were subsequently sold. Presently, the Schrade Sharpfinger is produced in China, available in both large and small sizes, but the quality is not comparable to the original Schrade knives.

## Description

The Schrade Sharpfinger is a fixed-blade utility knife, measuring approximately 7.5 inches (19.1 cm) in overall length, with a 3.5-inch (8.9 cm) blade. It features sawcut (textured) "Delrin" synthetic scales. The blade showcases a pronounced curve, setting it apart from the majority of utility knives available in the United States. Additionally, it is smaller in size compared to the average American utility or hunting knife.

## Variants

* Schrade-Walden Sharp Finger (USA) -- high carbon steel, rare variant
* Schrade 152 Old Timer Sharpfinger (USA) -- high carbon steel
* Schrade 152 Uncle Henry Wolverine (USA) -- stainless
* Camillus Grand'Pa Sharp Hunter (USA)
* Rigid Max Edge Hunter (USA)
* Arrowhead Roadrunner (USA)
* Taylor/Schrade LLC Sharpfinger (China)
* Winchester (China)--
Variants of the Sharpfinger were offered with the following handle materials:
* Smooth colored Delrin (cream, yellow, orange, black)
* Scrimshawed cream Delrin
* Stag (several patterns)
* Staglon (several patterns)
* Jigged bone (various cuts and colors)
* Wood (various types)

## Famous owners

Probably the most famous user of a Schrade Sharpfinger knife is Sonny Barger, founder of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club.
In an interview with Harper/Collins regarding his book Dead in 5 Heartbeats, Barger commented on the Sharpfinger knife:
   A lot of people I ride with carry that knife. I actually prefer fixed blades—like the Sharpfinger—to a folded blade. Although I carry a folded blade too, with a fixed blade you don't have to reach inside your pocket. It's always handy, on your belt when you need it. I use my Sharpfinger as a tool. I do everything with it. I like knives with sharp points. You never know when you might want to pop a balloon or peel a banana.
Marc "Animal" MacYoung and Fred Perrin hold favorable views of the Sharpfinger as Animal discusses in his book "Knives, Knife Fighting and Related Hassles" and the Nemo Sandman site for Fred Perrin in the 1990s.
# Augusta Huiell Seaman

Augusta Huiell Seaman (April 3, 1879 – June 5, 1950) was an American author of children's literature.

She graduated from Normal College (later renamed Hunter College) in New York City in 1900 and went on to teach elementary school. She married Robert Seaman in 1906. Following her marriage, she devoted her time to writing. Her career writing mysteries for children began with the publication of The Boarded up House which ran serially in St. Nicholas Magazine in 1914.
Her only child, Helen Roberta (Bobbie) was born in 1915. Her husband Robert died in 1927. In 1928 she married her second husband, Francis Parkman Freeman, foreman of the Phipps estate in Island Beach, New Jersey (now part of Berkeley Township, the setting for several of her later books). While living in Island Beach, Augusta held various offices in the local government, including Borough clerk, Tax Collector, and Borough Registrar.
Over her career Seaman wrote and published over forty books for young people. She died at age seventy-one and is interred at Rosedale Cemetery in Orange, New Jersey.

## Books

A few of Seaman's books have been reprinted, but many remain out of print. The rarest of her books are much sought after by collectors. Several of her novels were translated into Norwegian, Danish, and French.
