title: The Moment (Manafest album)

text:
The Moment is the seventh studio album by the Christian rapper Manafest.  It was released on August 5, 2014 under BEC Recordings.  The album was fan-funded through a PledgeMusic campaign.

The album marks Manafest's final release with his long-time affiliate label BEC Recordings before moving to a fully independent status for his next album Reborn.

Critical reception
The album received generally positive reviews from multiple professional music sites and reviews.

Christian St. John of Christian Review Magazine showered compliments on the album saying: "Manafest has found himself on The Moment. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but it seems to me that this album is Manafest’s defining work, his coming-of-age album if you will." Speaking for CCM Magazine, Andy Argyrakis praised the release by stating: "Manafest continues to strike rap/rock gold with a dozen new tunes... the Canadian veteran spreads faith-affirming positivity over some of his sharpest rhymes to date." Sarah Brehm from HM Magazine went on to say that The Moment "is filled with infectious rap-rock anthems infused with layers of trendy-pop beats... Manafast has delivered a solid, well-crafted album that’s sure to be a hit." In definite agreement, Mary Nikkel of New Release Tuesday added: "The Moment pulses with immediacy, utilizing snappy rhymes and grungy guitars to demolish fear and call for faith. This is a stand-out moment in his discography, and a solid addition to any rock or urban library."

On the flipside, Michael Weaver of Jesus Freak Hideout moderately stated: "Manafest has made a clear decision to head in a different direction with The Moment. Musically, the edge is gone... Hopefully when we see him next, Manafest will be living up to his full potential. In the meantime, maybe you should go back and revisit The Chase instead." Lee Brown of Indie Vision Music writes: "Fans of Manafest will find an engaging album that continues his propensity towards engaging and uplifting lyrics sure to inspire on the one hand and provide great work-out music on the other."

Retrospectively in a 2015 interview, Manafest himself hinted at some dissatisfaction with the album's production when he stated, "The Chase was an all-rock record and I did Fighter and it was just an all-rock record, and those were both received really really well. But, before that, my records were mixed. I feel like I did that again with The Moment and I’m not sure that that always works the best. For me, in creating it, I feel like I’m split because I’m like, “what is this?”"

Awards
The album received a nomination in the category of "Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year" for the Juno Awards of 2015.

Singles
The album includes the singles of "Diamonds" and "Edge of My Life".  "Diamonds" peaked within the top 5 on the ChristianRock.Net radio charts.

Notes
In 2014, as with many of Manafest's releases, The Moment was given an album instrumentals release.
The track "Bull in a China Shop" was originally supposed to be a Thousand Foot Krutch song before Trevor McNevan pitched it to Manafest for the release of The Moment.
The track "Love Wide Open" was originally going to be entitled "East Coast Winter".  The song's name was changed as Manafest decided the general population did not fully understand what an "east coast winter" was like and therefore, was not relatable enough overall.
Nirva Ready (of TobyMac's Diverse City) was originally intended to be featured on the track "Diamonds" but it didn't work out and fit the song according to Manafest.
The song "Light" was originally intended to be used as an audio promotional for Manafest's 2013 book Fighter: Five Keys to Conquering Your Fear and Reaching Your Dreams.  It was however never utilized and Manafest decided instead to release it on The Moment.
The song "Startup Kid" echos back to Manafest's earlier days of straighter hip hop and was made based on the request of his fans.
"Let Go" featuring Dave Stovall of Wavorly was a song that didn't make the final cut of The Moment but was later released as a 2015 single.  The song was recently pulled from iTunes (it is however still available in Manafest's store).  Manafest has also hinted it might make his next album's track listing.

title: Global Child Forum

text:
The Global Child Forum is a Swedish non-profit foundation, based in Stockholm, Sweden. The organization was founded by King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden in 2009 in order to advance children’s rights in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The focus of Global Child Forum is grounded in both the Convention on the Rights of a Child and UNICEF's Children’s Rights and Business Principles and is aimed towards giving business an understanding of how and where their business might impact children.

History
Global Child Forum was founded in 2009 as World Child and Youth Forum (WCYF). The name was then shorted to Global Child Forum in 2012. Initially, WCYF was intended to be an independent group of decision-makers with the goal of discussing children’s rights and business while using the Royal Palace as a venue. Since then, the organization has expanded to include Regional Forums and conduct its own independent research.

Forums
Global Child Forum is best known for its global and regional forums. Each Forum consists of speaker sessions, panel discussions, and breakout Action Labs. Global forums are held at the Royal Palace in Stockholm and bring together top business leaders, political leaders, academics, and civil society representatives to discuss pressing issues related to children’s rights and business. Regional forums are designed to tackle children’s rights issues faced by that particular region with regional leaders in business, politics, academics, and civil society.

Global forums
To date, five global forums have been held at the Royal Palace. Approximately 300 global leaders in business, politics, civil society and academia have attended each of the forums. Each event has its own theme on issues concerning children’s rights and business. The latest global forum was 11 April 2018 and discussed investing in every child. During the 2018 Forum, the Global Child Forum Pledge was launched to encourage action amongst participants post-Forum.  Additionally, for the first time, the Forum included child participants, Indonesian child laborers from the It's Time to Talk! report on child labour.

Regional forums
The regional forum is held every year in a new location. The forums brings together approximately 300 regional leaders in business, politics, civil society and academia to discuss issues concerning children’s rights and business within the context of their region. To date, the Global Child Forum has held four regional forums: one in the Middle East and North Africa, Southern Africa, Southeast Asia and South America.

Research
The Global Child Forum conducts independent research and case studies. The benchmark reports, written in collaboration with the Boston Consulting Group, are developed to be presented at regional forums and evaluate the top 300 publicly traded companies from regions where regional forums are to be held, and assesses their commitment to children’s rights issues. Previously, the 2016 benchmark highlighted how the Nordic region lagged below the global average on children’s rights issues. During the São Paulo Forum in 2017, Global Child Forum presented a report which revealed that South American companies are underperforming overall in addressing children's rights.

The Global Child Forum also conducts case studies on companies who have scored highly on benchmarks.

The Children’s Rights and Business Atlas is a risk assessment tool intended to help businesses identify and understand the risk of children’s rights violations and give an indication of the risks to children’s rights in different industries and countries. The Atlas covers 198 countries and territories and 10 industries and was developed in collaboration with UNICEF.

title: Psalmen Davids

text:
Psalmen Davids (Psalms of David) is a collection of sacred choral music, settings mostly of psalms in German by Heinrich Schütz, who had studied the Venetian polychoral style with Giovanni Gabrieli. Book 1 was printed in Dresden in 1619 as his Opus 2. It comprises 26 individual settings, which were assigned numbers 22 to 47 in the Schütz-Werke-Verzeichnis (SWV). Most of them use the text of a complete psalm in the translation by Martin Luther.

The full title of the publication, "Psalmen Davids / sampt / Etlichen Moteten und Concerten / mit acht und mehr Stimmen / Nebenst andern zweyen Capellen daß dero etliche / auff drey und vier Chor nach beliebung gebraucht / werden können", indicates that some motets and concertos are added to the psalm settings, and the scoring is for eight and more voices and two groups of instrumentalists, so that in some pieces three and even four choirs can participate in polychoral settings.

History

In 1619, Schütz took up his office as Hofkapellmeister at the court of the Elector of Saxony, Johann Georg I., in Dresden, succeeding Rogier Michael. On 1 June, he married Magdalena, the daughter of Christian Wildeck, a court official. Planned well, the Psalmen Davids appeared the same day, dedicated to the Elector.

Schütz mentions in the introduction: "daß er etzliche Teutsche Psalmen auf Italienische Manier komponiert habe, zu welcher [er] von [seinem] lieben und in aller Welt hochberühmten Praeceptore Herrn Johan Gabrieln / ... / mit fleiß angeführet worden ... war" (that he composed several German psalms in Italian manner, to which he was induced intensely by his dear preceptor Giovanni Gabrieli, highly famous in all the world).

Collection

Schütz chose 20 psalms, two of which he set twice, and added movements based on a hymn, the first stanza of Johann Gramann's "Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren", and on texts from the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah. Most, but not all, psalms end with the doxology (in the table short: dox), "Ehre sei dem Vater" (Glory be to the Father). Translations of SWV 24, 25, 27, 28, 30, 33, 36, 37, 39 and 40 are provided by Emmanuel Music

Reception
A reviewer from Gramophone wrote that Psalmen Davids "ranks among [Schütz's] most sumptuous and spectacular achievements". Fabrice Fitch referred to it as the composer's "first monumental publication of sacred music", agreeing with Peter Wollny's comment on "its variety in the treatment of a medium whose potential for cliche is, after all, very great".

Publication and recordings

The Psalmen Davids are part of the complete edition of the composer's works by Carus-Verlag, begun in 1992 as the Stuttgart Schütz Edition and planned to be completed by 2017. The edition uses the  of the . They were recorded, as part of the complete recordings of works by Schütz, by the Dresdner Kammerchor and organist Ludger Rémy, conducted by Hans-Christoph Rademann. Soloists are sopranos Dorothee Mields and Marie Luise Werneburg, altos David Erler and Stefan Kunath, tenors Georg Poplutz and Tobias Mäthger, and basses Stephan MacLeod and Felix Schwandtke. A review notes the accent on a contrast, as the composer intended, between the soloists (favoriti) and the choir (ripieno): These soloists, the so-called 'favoriti' are given the responsibility of bringing illustrative power to their sung lines, to sing 'as well and as sweetly' as possible. These solo singers are vested with the conveyance of the texts’ imagery in all its power and immediacy, whilst the ripieno choruses have a different function, which is, in the composer's words, 'for a strong sound and for splendour'.

title: Evensong

text:
Evensong is a church service traditionally held near sunset focused on singing psalms and other biblical canticles. It is loosely based on the canonical hours of vespers and compline. Old English speakers translated the Latin word  as , which became 'evensong' in modern English. Typically used in reference to the Anglican daily office's evening liturgy, it can also refer to the pre-Reformation form of vespers or services of evening prayer from other denominations, particularly within the Anglican Use of the Catholic Church.

Structure

From Late Antiquity onwards, the office of vespers normally included psalms, the , a hymn, and other prayers. By the Early Middle Ages, it became common for secular clergy to combine vespers and compline. By the sixteenth century, worshippers in western Europe conceived 'evensong' as vespers and compline performed without break. Modern Eastern Orthodox services advertised as 'vespers' often similarly conclude with compline, especially as part of the all-night vigil.

When the English reformation produced the Book of Common Prayer, it provided a version of evensong that abbreviated the secular version of vespers and compline, drawing on the Use of Sarum. Nearly all its elements are taken from medieval service books, with only minor changes to the order in which they appear.

Music

Evensong was initially sung entirely to plainsong. Musicians gradually created polyphonic settings of its music, especially of the .

The first musical setting of the Book of Common Prayer, by John Marbeck, provided a simplified version of traditional chant settings. It remains unclear whether plainsong remained a common feature of evensong in the Church of England after the sixteenth century. Metrical psalms and Anglican Chant were also developed as alternate methods of singing the psalms and canticles.

In choral evensong, all of the service is sung or chanted by the officiating minister and a choir. In cathedrals, or on particularly important days in the church calendar, the canticles are performed in elaborate settings. In churches where a choir is not present, simpler versions of the psalms and canticles are usually sung by the congregation, sometimes with responses and collects spoken rather than sung. Said evening prayer services with the musical setting omitted are also sometimes referred to as evensong.

A number of composers have contributed settings of the canticles. These range from late Renaissance composers such as Thomas Tallis, William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons, through Victorian composers such as Charles Villiers Stanford, Thomas Attwood Walmisley to later masters of the form such as Herbert Murrill, Basil Harwood, Herbert Howells, Michael Tippett, Giles Swayne, and Arvo Pärt (who composed a Magnificat and Nunc dimittis at different times).

In High Church parishes, the service may conclude with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament (or a modified form of "Devotions to the Blessed Sacrament") and the carrying of the reserved sacrament under a humeral veil from the high altar to an altar of repose, to the accompaniment of music.

The service may also include hymns.  The first of these may be called the Office Hymn, and will usually be particularly closely tied to the liturgical theme of the day, and may be an ancient plainchant setting. This will usually be sung just before the psalm(s) or immediately before the first canticle and may be sung by the choir alone. Otherwise any hymns normally come toward the end of the service, maybe one either side of the sermon (if there is one), or following the anthem. These hymns will generally be congregational.

Most cathedrals of the Church of England, where the service originates, and a number of university college chapels (e.g. in the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford; including Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford which is unique in the world for being both the college chapel for Christ Church, Oxford and a Cathedral Church for the Diocese of Oxford, the University of St Andrews, the University of Durham and King's College London) offer this service regularly, often daily. Most of the cathedrals of the Church in Wales and the Scottish Episcopal Church also offer choral evensong. Choral evensong is usually sung during term time; at other times, it is most often replaced with said Evening Prayer.

Aside from the cathedrals and collegiate chapels, evensong is also sung in many parish churches around England where there is a choral tradition. There may be a choral service each Sunday or less frequently, such as on a monthly basis or only on feast days in the liturgical calendar. Many churches in central London have a professional choir and have a weekly service of choral evensong, among them All Saints, Margaret Street, Holy Trinity Sloane Square, St Bartholomew the Great  and St Bride's, Fleet Street.

Ireland

Most of the larger churches and cathedrals of the Church of Ireland offer evensong. It is sung six times a week at St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, twice at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, and once at Trinity College, Dublin. Additionally, although rarely, some parish churches hold evensong; however, this is most often replaced with Evening Prayer.

United States and Canada
Most of the larger cathedrals and large parishes of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada offer choral evensong. During the school year, Washington National Cathedral offers Evensong not only on Sunday afternoon, but also from Monday to Thursday, with the Girl Choristers and the Boy Choristers alternating. Saint Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue in New York City offers Evensong from Tuesday to Thursday during the school year, in addition to Sundays.

Evensong is also often offered at Episcopal seminaries as part of a chapel program. For example, General Theological Seminary currently offers Evensong.

Africa

Throughout the countries of Africa with a large Anglican presence, evensong is also offered, for instance in the Cathedral Church of Christ, Lagos, Nigeria, St George's Cathedral, Cape Town, South Africa, and every Sunday at the St Cyprian's Cathedral, Kimberley, South Africa.

Australia and New Zealand

Most of the cathedrals of the Anglican Church of Australia offer choral evensong at least weekly, with St Paul's Cathedral, Melbourne offering daily evensong. Likewise in the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, evensong is offered at the cathedrals in Auckland, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Wellington.

Asia

St John's Cathedral, Hong Kong
All Saints' Cathedral, Hong Kong
St Andrew's Cathedral, Singapore
St Mary's Cathedral, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Rikkyo All Saints' Chapel, Tokyo, Japan
Rikkyo St. Paul's Chapel, Saitama, Japan

Non-Anglican churches

The popularity of evensong has spread to other churches, particularly churches of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and United Methodist churches which use a formal liturgical worship style. Examples in the Presbyterian Church include Fourth Presbyterian Church (Chicago) and Independent Presbyterian Church (Birmingham, Alabama) both of which offer evensong services on a seasonal basis, as does Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

There are some Roman Catholic churches and abbeys in England offering choral evensong: These include Ampleforth Abbey, Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, the Birmingham Oratory, Ealing Abbey, Leeds Cathedral, Downside Abbey, the London Oratory, and Westminster Cathedral.

Loyola University Maryland, a Jesuit Catholic university in Baltimore, Maryland, celebrates a half-hour evensong on Thursday evenings, although this has been temporarily suspended.

In Scotland, some larger churches (and former cathedrals belonging to the Church of Scotland) hold evensong, including Glasgow Cathedral, Paisley Abbey (2nd Sunday of each month), and Edinburgh Cathedral.

The Basilica of St. Nicholas in Amsterdam holds choral evensong on Saturdays.

Broadcasts

The BBC has, since 1926, broadcast a weekly service of Choral Evensong. It is broadcast (usually live) on BBC Radio 3 on Wednesdays at 15:30 and often repeated on the following Sunday. Between February 2007 and September 2008, the service was broadcast on Sunday only. The service comes live from an English cathedral or collegiate institution. However, it is occasionally a recording or is replaced by a different form of service or a service from a church elsewhere in the world or of another denomination. The most recent broadcast is available on the BBC iPlayer for up to a week after the original broadcast. There is also an archive available.

title: Freshwater Creek, Victoria

text:
Freshwater Creek is a small rural community in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia. In the 2016 census, Freshwater Creek had a population of 414 people.

The community comprises farming and rural properties, with a small township around the intersection of the Anglesea Road and Dickins Road, where there is a service station, a few shops and a cafe. The volunteer Country Fire Authority (CFA) building is in Dickins Road. Alongside is the Community Hall, tennis courts, BBQ, public toilets and playground. The Freshwater Creek Riding Club is next door to the Community Hall, and has a cross-country course along Duneed Creek. Opposite is Red Gum Run Arena Polo. The Revival Centre Church Camp is located behind the service station.

The Freshwater Creek Steiner School is in McIntyres Road. A not-for-profit food recycling and composting organisation, City Harvest, is co-located with "The Farmers Place" on the Anglesea Road.

Freshwater Creek Post Office opened on 21 January 1860, was provisionally closed on 25 January 1961, and fully closed on 25 March 1961.

A Wesleyan denominational school was opened at Freshwater Creek in 1856. After the introduction of state schools in 1883, it became government school No. 256. A new weatherboard school building was opened at the same time, replacing the original bluestone one. The school's honour roll from World War I is now in the Community Hall, and is listed on the Victorian War Heritage Inventory. In 1994, the Freshwater Creek, Connewarre and Mount Duneed primary schools were amalgamated at Mount Duneed. The Freshwater Creek school building was moved to the Waurn Ponds campus of Deakin University, where it formed part of a collection of historic local buildings. It remained there for some years, but was moved to Mt Duneed Primary School as an extra classroom. A new independent school, Freshwater Creek Steiner School, opened on a different site in 2000.

St David's Lutheran Church and Cemetery, on the Anglesea Road, is a historic church which is both listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and classified by the National Trust of Australia. The current bluestone church dates from 1866, although a church had existed on the site since 1859. The church has a strong association with the early German pioneers who settled in the area, and the attached graveyard has historical significance as one of the few in the state to still survive. Services are held at the church on the third Sunday of every month, run by St Paul's Lutheran Church in Grovedale, which was designed by the same architect.

During the early 1970s, the principal of the Freshwater Creek state school was Graham Brown, who had four children: Phillip, Noel, Helen and Wendy. Wendy attended Oberon High School and, after a brief marriage to Michael Harmer from Geelong, became the famous comedian, Wendy Harmer.

title: Joe Glaser

text:
Joseph G. Glaser (December 17, 1896 – June 6, 1969) was an artist manager known for his involvement in the careers of jazz musicians, including Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday.

Biography
Glaser was the son of a Chicago family of Russian Jewish origins. After a series of irregular jobs (fight promoter, club manager), with the help of his alleged mob connections he started managing Louis Armstrong in May 1935. The success of their association caused other jazz musicians to join Glaser and his agency known as the Associated Booking Corporation which "was formed in 1940 by Joe Glaser and Louis Armstrong". The relation of Glaser and Armstrong has been represented as a prominent element in Terry Teachout's theater play Satchmo at the Waldorf.

Although his clients had a high opinion of him , Glaser was a feared person in the business industry. Associated Booking Corporation, or "ABC" as it is also known, was incorporated on June 26, 1943, and is still in existence today. It has represented Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Woody Herman, Dave Brubeck, Barbra Streisand, B.B. King, The Allman Brothers Band, T. Rex, The Platters and many others.

Death
Glaser died on June 6, 1969, at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in New York City after suffering a stroke. He was 72.

FBI file
After his death in 1969, Glaser's FBI file – CR 166-1672 – was shipped over to the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations sometime between its start in 1976 and its final report in 1979. While the file was sent to the committee in the belief that Glaser had known Jack 'Sparky' Rubenstein (better known as Jack Ruby) from his Chicago days, that file revealed that Glaser was still doing some boxing promotion as late as 1966, representing Ernie Terrell in a proposed 1966 boxing match against the then Cassius Clay. The Muhammad Ali vs. Ernie Terrell fight did not take place until February 6, 1967. Glaser was a mentor to Clarence Avant.

title: Love Somebody (EP)

text:
Love Somebody EP is the second extended play from the contemporary Christian musician and singer Charmaine. It was released independently on June 17, 2014. The album was produced by Fred Williams.

Critical reception

Love Somebody EP was met with generally positive reception from music critics. At New Release Tuesday, Caitlin Elizabeth Lassiter rated the album four stars out of five, remarking how the release comes "Complete with solid vocals, catchy melodies, and powerful lyrics, Love Somebody is hard to find fault with." At Jesus Freak Hideout, Roger Gelwicks rated the album three-and-a-half stars out of five, indicating how it is "more than [a] worthwhile release", and he says "To call Love Somebody EP a disappointing record would be pretty unfair; the project's solely a Charmaine creation without extraneous bells and whistles, and it gives a lot more effort than most pop projects." Mark Rice of Jesus Freak Hideout rated the album four stars out of five, highlighting how "The EP's brevity makes this EP very much a teaser for whatever is next for Charmaine, clocking in at a mere fourteen and a half minutes, but it is without doubt a delicious tease." At 365 Days of Inspiring Media, Jonathan Andre rated the album four stars out of five, commenting how the EP is a bit brief, yet states that "if Charmaine keeps putting out albums like this, then I will be very happy, and recommend her music to everyone who will listen."

title: John Trusler

text:
Revd John Trusler (1735–1820) was an eccentric English divine, literary compiler, and medical empiric.

Early life
Trusler was born in Hanover Square, London, England, in July 1735. His father was the proprietor of the public tea gardens at Marylebone. In his tenth year, he was sent to Westminster School, and at the age of fifteen he was transferred to Mr Fountaine's fashionable seminary at Marylebone. Next he proceeded to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, whence he graduated B.A. in 1757. On his return home he translated from the Italian several burlettas and adapted them to the English stage. One of these, he says, was 'La Serva Padrona,' or the 'Servant-Mistress,' of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, performed in Marylebone Gardens in 1757; but it seems that the real translator was Stephen Storace.

Ordination
Trusler took holy orders, becoming a priest in 1759. He was curate successively of Enford, Wiltshire, of Ware, Hertfordshire, at Hertford, at the Hythe church, Colchester, of Ockley, Surrey, and of St Clement Danes in the Strand, London. In 1761, Dr Bruce, the king's chaplain at Somerset House, employed him as his assistant and procured for him the chaplaincy to the Poultry Compter. He also held a lectureship in the city. At this period he took a house at Rotherhithe.

However, clerical work was not enough for Trusler. In 1762, he established an academy for teaching oratory 'mechanically,' but, as it did not pay, he soon gave it up. To acquire a knowledge of physic he admitted himself a perpetual pupil of Drs Hunter and Fordyce. He then went to Leyden University to take the degree of M.D., but his name does not appear in the catalogue of graduates in that university. However, he either obtained or assumed the title of doctor, and he is frequently styled LL.D. He superintended for some time the Literary Society established in 1765 with the object of abolishing publishers.

In 1769, Trusler sent circulars to every parish in England and Ireland proposing to print in script type, in imitation of handwriting, about a hundred and fifty sermons at the price of one shilling each, to save the clergy both study and the trouble of transcribing. This scheme appears to have met with success. Trusler next established a printing and bookselling business upon an extensive and lucrative scale. At one time he resided in Red Lion Street, Clerkenwell, and also at Boyle Street. He afterwards lived at Bath on the profits of his trade, and subsequently on an estate of his own at Englefield Green, Middlesex. In 1806, he published at Bath the first part of his autobiography, entitled The Memoirs of the Life of the Revd. Dr. Trusler, 4to. Only part i. appeared, and, it is said, the author sought to suppress it. The remainder of the memoirs in Trusler's autograph were in 1851 in the possession of James Crossley of Manchester. Trusler died in 1820 at the Villa House, Bathwick, Bath. He married in 1759, his wife dying in December 1762. His portrait has been engraved.

The Table of General Standard Chinese Characters () is the current standard list of 8,105 Chinese characters published by the government of the People's Republic of China and promulgated in June 2013. Of the characters included, 3,500 are in Tier I and designated as frequently used characters, a reduction from the 7,000 in the earlier List of Commonly Used Characters in Modern Chinese; Tier II includes 3,000 characters that are designated as commonly used characters but less frequently used than those in Tier 1; Tier III includes characters commonly used as names and terminology. The list also offers a table of correspondences between 2,546 Simplified Chinese characters and 2,574 Traditional Chinese characters, along with other selected variant forms, effectively serving as Mainland China's standardization scheme for Traditional Characters.

Non-BMP characters
In Unicode, some characters in the Table of General Standard Chinese Characters are located outside of the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP).

title: Royds Hall

text:
Royds Hall Manor is one of the surviving manor houses in the Yorkshire Region. It is a Grade II* listed building situated on an elevation over 700 feet above sea level in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England and was once the residence of the Lords of the Manor of North Bierley and Wibsey.

Maps of Yorkshire dated 1600 or earlier show Bolling Hall, now a museum, and Royds Hall as the only two houses in the district. The house is also mentioned in the Domesday book.

History
Up to the year 1307 the Lord of the Manor of Royds Hall was William De Swillington. He left no heir, and after a short succession of owners the Hall and its estates passed to William Rookes of Rookes Hall, Norwood Green.

In 1313 The Rookes Family became the tenants of the land and owners of the land in 1538 when the land was granted to William Rookes for Knights service during the dissolution of the monasteries. This entailed 40 days annual service to the monarch, then King Henry VIII, and the duties and attendant privileges which were transmitted to the heirs of the House of Rookes.

After 500 years, Edward was the last of the Rookes line to inhabit the family seat. Edward was a colourful character who changed his name to Rookes Leedes, when he married a wealthy heiress, Mary Leedes. He was a prominent racehorse breeder and constructed a racecourse at the property. He was actively involved in the construction of Turnpike Roads in the area and was mainly instrumental in the cutting of the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Despite the large fortune his bride endowed him he rapidly ran into debt, through gambling, and he ended his days in debtors' prison in 1785.

In 1788, Reverend Joseph Dawson purchased the estate through the Low Moor Iron Company. The Reverend, trained as a scientist, was the chief technologist of the company's success. During his time at the property, he invited his friend Joseph Priestley, who went on to gain scientific notoriety, to stay at the property. Joseph Priestley discovered Oxygen and it is thought that he carried out many of his experiments at Royds Hall.

Successive chairmen of the Low Moor Iron Company occupied the property until the 1920s. Finally in 1932 Royds Hall was purchased by a private owner who stayed until 1975. Two further owners since lovingly maintained and improved Royds Hall, including millionaire businessman Sir Earnest Hall who was responsible for much of the restoration of the property, returning it to its former glory.

In 2014, Multibrands International Ltd, a Bradford-based company with operations worldwide, became only the fifth owners of this magnificent property.

Courts

There is an interesting link to feudal law, two courts were held here, a Court Baron and a Court Leet. These were manorial courts and the right to hold them was granted to the Lord Of Manor by the crown. Details of land encroachment, weights and measures and debts were argued before the Lord, and the procedure undoubtedly speeded by local justice although the decisions may have been prejudiced.

Buried treasure

In 1641 the Civil War loomed. Naturally, the Rookes supported the cause of the King. The subsequent decline and persecution of the Royalists during the Interregnum also marked a decline in the fortunes of the Rookes family.

In the eighteenth century, when Edward Rookes Leedes held ownership, a man was ploughing on land belonging to Woodside Farm when he came across a large earthenware jar filled with gold coins of the reigns of Mary, Elizabeth, James I and Charles I. This was believed to be wealth that the Rookes had hidden from the roundheads, wealth that William Rookes did not mention when his estates were under sequestration in 1647. There is a record in existence of the rents and personal properties he delivered to the Cromwellian commissioners who attended the Old Dolphin Inn at Clayton Heights, with no mention of any buried treasure.
More recently, a man with a metal detector discovered another jar (this time of silver coins) in Judy Woods. This involved him becoming involved in a bitter struggle with Bradford Metropolitan Council, who claimed (unsuccessfully) that the treasure was rightfully theirs, the find being made on council land.

Architecture

A significant property has stood on the site for over 800 years, evolving through the ages from a timber-framed structure into the grand residence seen today.
The timber-framed house is dated to 1458. In 1640 William Rookes had the original timber frame encased in a stone façade and extended the property in 1651 to comprise two halls with four gables to the southern elevation.
The final evolution of the main property took place in 1770 with the construction of the easterly cross wing. This is built in a typically grand Georgian style and provided the sixth gable which stands above the rest of the property.

Gardens
There are numerous gardens, all meticulously maintained and presented in a history of fashions.

Easterly Garden
A driveway leads from cast iron gates to the Marble hall's front door around a planted roundabout and on to the paddock land. The large medieval duck pond is surrounded by a woodland walk, which is decorated with statues and a classical folly.

Southerly Garden
A formal walled garden divided into six lawns by stone paths which lead from the front door to a raised platform which forms a ha-ha. A Georgian gazebo has views over the paddock land.

Westerly Garden
An impressive walled garden with a potting house, Victorian fernery and decorated with classical statues. The terraced gardens are presented in a variety of formal and historical styles which include a knot garden, parterres, a rose walk, wildflower woodland and vegetable gardens. There is a raised stone terrace, fountains and an open gazebo.

Woodland

Royds Hall Great Woods, comprising:

Old Hanna Wood
This rather remote section of the woods surrounds Royds Hall on one side.

All paths through it eventually come out by the seat at Royds Hall Lane, from which there is a view. A sweep of hills stretching to the boundaries of Derbyshire, Cheshire and Lancashire may be observed. Below, is Norwood Green and its clocktower, beyond which the eye is carried up to the commanding tower of Coley Church, with Halifax Beacon behind, topped by its little white house. Further afield, the ornate top of the Wainhouse Tower may be seen, poking up from the Calder Valley. Other landmarks include Fosters Mill at Queensbury, Reevy Beacon, the Emley Moor Transmitter, and the Jubilee Tower on Castle Hill above Huddersfield. The prospect is truly impressive.

Judy Woods
Judy Woods  is situated to the south boundary of Royds Hall and is the third-largest woodland in the Bradford district at a size of forty hectares.

The present name comes from Judy North or "Gurt Judy" who lived in a cottage near Horse Close Bridge in the 1850s and 60s. She was the second wife of Joseph North whose family had tended the "pleasure gardens" on the hillside by the bridge since the early 1800s. Following Joseph's death in 1850, first Judy herself and then John Barraclough, Judy's son by her first marriage took over as gardener. In the 1861 census Judy is described as "seller of sweet meats" no doubt to the visitors to the gardens.
James Parker mentioned Judy in his books, notably Rambles from Hipperholme to Tong, published 1904. In them he included several images of Judy and her son John O'Judy's and related how she sold parking pigs, sticks of spice and ginger beer. He calls the woods Royds Hall Woods and the bridge Horse Close Bridge. It seems that Parker's books, written over thirty years after her death, popularised the woods with a new generation who took to calling the bridge Judy Brig, and soon the woods were grouped together collectively as Judy Woods.

title: Love Is the Sweetest Thing

text:
"Love Is the Sweetest Thing" is a popular song written in 1932 by British band leader and singer Ray Noble. Using guest vocalist Al Bowlly, Noble's recording was a big hit on both sides of the Atlantic, bringing Noble his first American success. It was published by Francis, Day & Hunter Ltd. Like most compositions published in the period (commonly called Tin Pan Alley songs), its main refrain (in thirty-two bar A-A-B-A form) is preceded with what were then called "sectional verses" or "introductory verses" which are usually omitted from early recordings and modern performances.

Lyrics extracts
First introductory verse:
Whether you're 20 and starting in life
Whether to 30 you've grown
Whether to 40, a husband or wife,
Whether you're 50, a Darby and Joan
There's one thing certain that you'll have to own...

Start of main refrain (nowadays "Verse One"):
Love is the sweetest thing
What else on earth could ever bring
Such happiness to ev'rything
As Love's old story.

End of main refrain  (nowadays "Verse Three"):
Love is the greatest thing
The oldest yet, the latest thing
I only hope that fate may bring
Love's story to you.
