The pathologist's report, which was read out in court, found that Bulger's foreskin had been forcibly pulled back. When Thompson and Venables were questioned about this aspect of the attack by detectives and a child psychiatrist, Eileen Vizard, the pair were reluctant to give details and also denied inserting some of the batteries into Bulger's anus. At his eventual parole, Venables's psychiatrist, Susan Bailey, reported that "visiting and revisiting the issue with Jon as a child, and now as an adolescent, he gives no account of any sexual element to the offence." The police quickly found low-resolution video images of Bulger's abduction from the New Strand Shopping Centre by two unidentified boys.

Vizard stated that Flight Unlimiteds "very advanced computational fluid dynamics make [each] plane react according to spec". Buchanan lauded the fluid model for creating a "sensation of actual flight [that] is nothing short of magnificent", while PC Magazines staff commented that it makes "planes behave more like real aircraft than any simulator we have seen". Bob and John Nolan called the game's physics programming "groundbreaking", and Chris Ware of the Lexington Herald-Leader found the game to be the most accurate simulation of flight beyond "those multimillion-dollar flight simulators [used by] fighter pilots and astronauts". Noack agreed: he wrote that the game "is about as close to flying within going to the airport".

West Ham also claimed that Bolton had received an unfair advantage, as a Bolton fan at pitchside had kicked the ball towards Vizard, but Asson disregarded these claims as well and confirmed Bolton's second goal. At this point the crowd began to sense that Bolton would emerge victorious and many began heading towards the exits. Neither team had any more serious chances to score, and the remainder of the match was largely a stalemate with little inspired play. Late in the game, West Ham captain George Kay attempted to persuade Asson to abandon the match, but Bolton captain Joe Smith reportedly replied "We're doing fine, ref, we'll play until dark to finish the match if necessary".

One shilling platypus stamp designed by Eileen Mayo As part of the Australian Commonwealth series of six postage stamps issued between 1959 and 1962 she designed the platypus for the one-shilling stamp and was awarded the Vizard- Wholohan Prize for prints in 1962. Other stamps in the series feature the kangaroo, banded anteater, tiger cat, rabbit bandicoot and the Tasmanian tiger (now believed extinct).

In addition it was one of the first times that a designer further commercialised their designs by producing poster versions of the stamp artwork and made them available for sale.

Club secretary Bartley Wilson later remarked that the fee "was all we had and included his fare from Treorchy!" He made his first appearance for the club on 1 September 1910 in a friendly match to mark the opening of Cardiff's new ground Ninian Park against Aston Villa, with Evans scoring the first ever goal at the ground in a 2–1 defeat.

In particular, emptied emu eggs have been engraved with portraits, similar to cameos, and scenes of Australian native animals. Mounted Emu eggs and emu-egg containers in the form of hundreds of goblets, inkstands and vases were produced in the second half of the nineteenth century, all richly embellished with images of Australian flora, fauna and indigenous people by travelling silversmiths, founders of a 'new Australian grammar of ornament'.Jonathan Sweet, 'Belonging before Federation: Design and Identity in Colonial Australian Gold and Silver', in Brian Hubber (ed.), All that Glitters: Australian Colonial Gold and Silver from the Vizard Foundation, exhibition catalogue, Geelong Regional Art Gallery, Geelong, 2001, p. 15.John B Hawkins, 19th Century Australian Silver, Antique Collectors' Club, Woodbridge, UK, 1990, vol. 1, p.

One brother had filmed part of the attack on his mobile phone, which was used as evidence in court. The two suspects pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent, to robbing one of the boys of a mobile phone and the other of cash, to two counts of intentionally causing a child to engage in sexual activity, and to one additional charge of actual bodily harm relating to a previous incident involving another 11-year-old boy. A child protection expert, Eileen Vizard, who had been involved in the James Bulger case, told the sentencing judge that the younger brother was a "very high risk" to the community and was at risk of becoming "a seriously disturbed psychopathic offender" unless he was properly treated. The brothers were given indeterminate sentences on 23 January 2010.

Network Ten began airing national late night news bulletins as part of the network's coverage of the First Gulf War in January 1991, which made extensive use of its rights to carry CNN material. Originally called Ten Evening News: Crisis in the Gulf, the bulletin's first host was veteran newsreader Eric Walters, who was also presenting the 6pm weeknight bulletin in Sydney at the time. Walters presented Ten Late News for four months, after which, Good Morning Australia news presenter Anne Fulwood took over as presenter of what had now become Ten Second Edition News. The program's straightforward style and format was a clear point of difference with competing programs on rival networks, Seven's chat show Tonight Live with Steve Vizard (which included short news bulletins) and Nine's The World Tonight with Clive Robertson, quickly drawing attention and viewers.

Born in Penarth, Cardiff, Poland began his career playing as a forward with local amateur sides Cogan and Penarth Mission where his performances attracted the attention of Third Division South side Swindon Town who offered him a trial. Converted to playing as a winger by manager Ted Vizard, he impressed enough to sign for the club but failed to break into the first-team and left the club at the end of the 1934–35 season without making an appearance. He instead began playing as a goalkeeper and joined his hometown club Cardiff City, who had previously rejected him as an outfield player prior to his move to Swindon. Despite having conceded seven goals in a reserve fixture several days before, he was handed his professional debut on 11 January 1936 in a 2–1 defeat to Torquay United after replacing Jack Deighton in the starting line-up, becoming the third goalkeeper used by the club as they struggled at the bottom of the Third Division South.

The suspense building up to the mutinies delineates in a telling way the motivation of the mutineers and their fate, in particular Vizard, the strong but ill-starred radical. As well as that ‘lively fidelity with which the author caught the everyday life of ordinary men and women’ The Times obituary referred to, Tilsley was not afraid to tackle the large issues of the period he lived through, and latterly explored historical themes bearing upon important contemporary concerns of social morality and power. When mapping twentieth century working-class writing Frank Tilsley must be reckoned a significant figure, whose work suggests some interesting continuity in bridging the 1930s and the 1950s; his career of course almost straddling these decades. This continuity is indicated stylistically and in terms of his approach to dealing with people’s experiences in their everyday working lives. That public libraries have sold off, or are busy selling off, Tilsley’s books from stock in a sorry short-sighted policy based on current ‘popularity’, and that his twenty-seven novels are all now out of print, must be a source of more than idle regret.
