# Truth Be Told, Part 1

Truth Be Told, Part 1 is the first extended play by Greyson Chance. It contains five original songs, and was released on November 19, 2012.

## Background

The EP was described by critics as a taste of what was yet to come in his full next length studio album. "I changed it up on this EP and it's very different from Hold On 'til the Night. The idea behind it is that this is what music should be about Truth BeTold," Chance said in an interview with Total Girl Philippines.

## Singles

"Sunshine & City Lights" is the lead single off the EP, released on October 2, 2012. The music video premiered on Vevo on November 16, 2012, and was directed by Clarence Fuller.

# The Best of Bette (1978 album)

The Best of Bette is the first compilation album by American female vocalist Bette Midler, released in 1978. This greatest hits album was issued in the UK, Continental Europe, Scandinavia and Australia to coincide with Midler's first world tour. Later editions released in 1979 also came with a free poster promoting her then upcoming movie The Rose. The Best of Bette, confusingly released with near identical cover art to 1973's Bette Midler, featured songs from Midler's first four studio albums with the addition of one track from 1977's Live at Last, the studio recording "You're Moving Out Today". The version included on The Best of Bette is the rare single mix which features an extra verse that is not found on the Live at Last album or on many of the single releases worldwide.
While other hits compilations followed in both Australia and New Zealand in the 1980s, such as the 1981 version of The Best of Bette on the K-tel label and 1987's Just Hits, Midler's first best of collection issued in the US was 1993's Experience the Divine.
The Best of Bette including the rare single mix of "You're Moving Out Today" was issued on CD in Australia only in 1987.

# Belfastada

Belfastada is the name given to the military uprising against the Miguelist regime in Portugal as part of the Liberal Wars, that was triggered off in June and July 1828 in Porto, with the landing of a group of liberal exiles coming in from England aboard the Belfast ship (hence the name given to the event).
The leaders of the expedition were Pedro de Sousa Holstein and João Carlos de Saldanha. This liberal offensive was unsuccessful, so the Liberals were forced to take refuge on the ship and go back to England.

## Background

After the Napoleonic War, the British ruled Portugal in the name of the absent king who was in Brazil, with Beresford as the de facto Regent, until the Liberal Revolution of 1820 when they were driven out and the king was forced to return as a constitutional monarch.
Over the next 25 years the fledgling Portuguese democracy experienced several military upheavals, especially the Liberal Wars fought between the brothers Dom Pedro, ex-Emperor of Brazil and King Dom Miguel.
Dom Miguel controlled the Portuguese mainland from 1828 until 1832.
To assert the cause of his daughter Maria da Glória, Pedro sailed in 1832 from Terceira in the Azores with an expeditionary force consisting of 60 vessels and 7500 men, mostly mercenaries.
Meanwhile, Miguel's fleet was comprehensively defeated by Pedro's much smaller squadron, commanded by Charles Napier, in the fourth Battle of Cape St. Vincent (1833).
The Miguelites were driven out of Lisbon but returned and attacked the city in force, unsuccessfully. Miguel was finally defeated at the Battle of Asseiceira, on 16 May 1834, and capitulated a few days later with the Concession of Evoramonte.
Despite his forced exile, many Portuguese continued to fight for his cause up until the 1850s.

* Belfastada (1828)
* Revolt of the Royal Navy Brigade (1829)

# Trompenburgh

Trompenburgh is a 17th-century manor house in 's-Graveland, designed by Daniël Stalpaert in Dutch Baroque style was built for Admiral Cornelis Tromp, one of the naval heroes of the Dutch Republic. The mansion is almost entirely surrounded by water and was built to resemble a ship, even with decks and railings.
Before the current mansion was built, the plot was owned by Andries Bicker and his sister Dieuwertje (1584-1641). Joan van Hellemondt (1616-1665), her son, built a mansion on the estate, called De Hooge Dreuvik, which dates back to 1654. Through inheritance the mansion came into the possession of his widow, Margaretha van Raephorst (1625-1690). She remarried her neighbor Cornelis Tromp in January 1667. The couple redecorated the mansion considerably but it was looted and burned by the French army in February 1673, after the year of disaster.
It was rebuilt from 1675 to 1684 by Tromp, who called it Sylisburg, which refers to the Danish title given to him, count of Sölvesborg in 1676. (In May 1676 Tromp became commander-in-chief of the Danish fleet.) After his death in 1691 the mansion was called Trompenburgh. Around 1720, Jacob Roeters came into possession of the estate, etc.

# The Blackburn Twins

The Blackburn Twins were an American duo of entertainers (dancer-singer-actor) who appeared on stage, film and television in the mid-20th century.
The twin brothers, Ramon Perez and Royce Perez, later professionally known as the Blackburn Twins, were born January 8, 1925 in Blue Point, New York.
At the age of seven they performed on stage in the Jerome Kern musical Music in the Air which ran in 1932-33. Also in 1932, they made their film debut in Her First Affaire, with Ida Lupino.
As child actors, the boys appeared in the Broadway plays 200 Were Chosen (1936) and As You Like It (1937). Separately, Royce appeared in Everywhere I Roam (1938–39) and Ramon in Stop-Over (1938). As a duo the pair danced in Olsen and Johnson's Sons o' Fun (1941–43).
Drafted into the army during World War II, they appeared in both the stage and screen versions of the patriotic show Winged Victory (1943–44). In 1946 they appeared in a gimmicky musical short called Film Vodvil: Three Sets of Twins with the McFarland Twins (musicians) and the Burke Twins (singers).
The Blackburn Twins were best remembered for three films: Words and Music (1948), Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949), and She's Working Her Way Through College (1952).
The bulk of their professional work was in nightclubs, but from 1948 through 1954 they also made television appearances on shows like Cavalcade of Stars, The Ed Sullivan Show, Texaco Star Theater with Milton Berle, The Colgate Comedy Hour, The Tonight Show and The Arthur Murray Party.
In 1952, while performing at the Copa Cabana, Ramon met and fell for Copa Girl Joyce Sieger. They were married within weeks.
Royce died of cancer on April 14, 1994 (age 69) in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. Ramon died August 17, 2018 (age 93) in Boynton Beach, Florida.

Silver is the seventh album by Minneapolis folk punk band Boiled in Lead. The band's first studio album in 13 years, Silver also marked Boiled in Lead's 25th anniversary. The album also reflected a number of significant lineup changes. It was the band's first studio recording after the return of longtime lead singer Todd Menton, and the addition of guitarist Dean Magraw. Longtime drummer Robin Anders played on Silver and at the album's live release show, but would leave the group later that year.
Green Man Review writer Chuck Lipsig noted that Menton's presence marked something of a return to the sound of the group's most musically eclectic albums, 1989's From the Ladle to the Grave and 1990's Orb. The album again featured a strong Celtic flavor but also included Middle Eastern and Algerian influences on songs like "Berber" and "Menfi." The album also includes a cover of "The Sunset," originally performed by Frankie Kennedy and Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh, co-founders of the Irish folk band Altan, on their 1987 album Altan.

## Critical reception

Critical reception to Silver was positive. Green Man Review writer Robert Tilendis praised the album as "something better than good," with a "high level of musicianship and what I can only see as an intense focus." Allmusic's Chris Nickson called the album a strong return to form after a long absence from the studio, and noted that although the band had lost some of its "punk attitude" of 20 years earlier, "older and wiser also translates into more finesse."
