Ap Chau (), also known as Robinson Island, with a size of  0.04 km² is an island in the Crooked Harbour, in the north-eastern New Territories of Hong Kong. It is located in Ap Chau Bay (; Ap Chau Hoi). Islets located close by include Ap Chau Pak Tun Pai, Ap Chau Mei Pak Tun Pai, Ap Lo Chun, Ap Tan Pai and Kau Tau Shek.

Name
Robinson Island was named after Hercules Robinson, 1st Baron Rosmead, who was the 5th Governor of Hong Kong from 1859 to 1865.

Administration
Ap Chau is under the administration of North District. It is a recognized village under the New Territories Small House Policy.

History
The village on the island was set up by American preachers from the then Taiwan-based True Jesus Church in order to shelter fishermen and their families who converted to Christianity in the 1960s. Being so close to mainland China, before the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong the island was a magnet for illegal immigrant swimmers, one reason being that the well lit public lavatory block was something of a beacon at night. The single primary school on the island opened in 1958. There used to be over 700 inhabitants called the Tanka, an originally non-Chinese ethnic minority who were mostly fishermen but most have moved over to cities in the United Kingdom such as Newcastle upon Tyne, Leicester, Sunderland, Elgin and Edinburgh. The church on the island is still active. The island had 8 inhabitants as of June 2008.

Features
To promote tourism, in April 2018 the Ap Chau Story Room opened for public visits on Sundays and public holidays. 

Fresh water in Ap Chau is obtained from mainland China using an underground pipe.

Conservation
The northern part of Ap Chau is part of the Double Haven Special Area () that covers 0.8 hectare and was designated in 2011. The Special Area includes the islets Pak Ka Chau, Yan Chau (both within Double Haven) as well as the islet of Ap Lo Chun and a part of Ap Chau (both within Crooked Harbour). The geology of the area is characterised by sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Transport
Kut O Village Rural Committee (Tung Lok House) Limited operates a daily kaito service to both Ap Chau and Kat O from Sha Tau Kok. But since the Sha Tau Kok Public Pier is in a restricted area, only restricted area pass holders are permitted to access the pier and take the kaito.

Best Sonic Industrial Limited operates kaito services to Ap Chau and Kat O from Ma Liu Shui pier on weekends and public holidays from 2018.

The album became #1 selling album on iTunes Philippines less than a day after its release and was sold out at the album launch on April 15.

Background and development
Upon signing with Star Music in December 2016, it was announced that she will release an album in the third quarter of 2017, but was delayed a few times. Executive producer Jonathan Manalo shared that the concept was a throwback to 90's R&B. The label first intended to release an extended play.

It also contains four bonus tracks, which are previously recorded but unreleased songs by Kyla: her theme song renditions of "Till I Met You" and "On The Wings Of Love" and her Himig Handog interpretations of "Monumento" and "Tayo Na Lang Kasi."

On January 15, 2018, Star Music announced that Kyla will have double-lead singles with a full-length album release in March 2018. The first lead single, "Only Gonna Love You," was released on January 19, while the second lead single, "Fix You And Me" was released on February 2. Her album release was again delayed from March 17, 2018, to April due to "health reasons."

Singles
 "Only Gonna Love You," an urban, pop-reggaeton track, was released as the album's first lead single on January 19, 2018, and features international rapper REQ. Kyla performed the single at ASAP on March 25, 2018. The music video was directed by John Prats and Brightbulb production.
 "Fix You and Me" was released on February 2, 2018, two weeks after the first lead single. The music video is a sequel to "Only Gonna Love You."

The Lost Masters 1969–1972 is an album by the New Kingston Trio, recorded in 1969 to 1972 and released in 1997.

History
Two years before the release of Once Upon a Time in 1969, the Kingston Trio disbanded in 1967 following a two-week farewell engagement at San Francisco's Hungry i, the nightclub at which they had started their rise to prominence a decade earlier. John Stewart began a solo career, Nick Reynolds retired from the music business and, after a short-lived solo career, Bob Shane created a new group, The New Kingston Trio. The first configuration of this new group lasted approximately three years and consisted of Shane, Pat Horine, and Jim Connor; a second troupe including Shane, Bill Zorn, and Roger Gambill toured from 1973 to 1976 before Shane bought the rights to the Kingston Trio name outright and assembled a new group with Gambill and George Grove.

The New Kingston Trio consisted of Shane, guitarist and vocalist Pat Horine, and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Jim Connor. They continued to perform songs from the old Kingston Trio repertoire as well as new material. The songs on The Lost Masters were culled from studio tapes Horine found while unpacking boxes in storage at his home.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Bruce Eder wrote of the album; "This is a better set of songs, as a Kingston Trio-type album, than the old Trio's last official album for Decca. The music has a lingering early-1960s folk earnestness, but it also displays a good sense of modern production and aesthetic sensibilities.... It's a good collection, and a worthy addition to any serious collections of the Kingston Trio."

His first attempt at entering the New Zealand House of Representatives was in April 1875, when he stood in the Rangitikei by-election. He performed poorly and of the three candidates, he came last with 11% of the vote. His father was successful in the City of Wellington electorate in the .

William Moise (1922–1980) was a visual artist, primarily an abstract impressionist painter, working in a regionalist style.

In his art, Moise’s favorite subject was the landscape around him, in Downeast, Maine. In 1970, Moïse wrote and self-published The Taste of Color, Touch of Love:The Creative World of Abstract Impressionism, a guide to painting that features several very full color plates of his work. His paintings are among collections of the US State Department, The University of Maine, The College of the Atlantic, Movie Director Joseph E. Levine, Nelson Rockefeller.

Biography

Moise was born and raised in Carlinville, Illinois. He grew up with three sisters and his mother. All of his sisters entered professional theater, and his mother worked as costume designer for the University in Tampa. Moïse graduated with a BA in English from the University of the South in 1943. He served as an anti-aircraft gunnery officer in the Navy in both the Atlantic and the Pacific. He received his MFA from Columbia University in 1949.

In 1950, Moïse moved to Rangley, Maine to work as an assistant Dr. Wilhelm Reich the father of “body therapy.” In Maine, he met his wife, Wilhelm’s daughter Eva Reich. They settled in Hancock on an old farm during the 1950s. Eva and Moise divorced in 1973.

In 1972, the movie director Joseph Levine and four investors offered Moise living expenses for three years in exchange for 600 paintings.  The paintings were premiered in a New York Gallery and Moise appeared on the Mike Douglas Show. But soon after the first gallery showing, investors lost interest and parted ways.  Moise died at the age of 58 in 1980 on the tennis court.

Painting

One critic once said: ”Moise extends the line of the impressionists of a century ago, though his work is abstract, modern, not reactionary. Still his style embraces the perspective of Cezanne, the loveliness of Renoir, the emotionalism of Van Gogh, the vision of Monet”

Genevieve Rowe (August 28, 1908 - February 26, 1995) was a coloratura soprano in the era of old-time radio.

Early years
Rowe was born in Fremont, Ohio. In her hometown of Wooster, Ohio, both of her parents were music educators; her father was dean of music at the Wooster College Conservatory, and her mother taught piano and music theory there. Although she began studying piano at age 4, she eventually came to prefer singing. She was a graduate of Wooster College with degrees in arts and music and studied on scholarship at the Juilliard Graduate School of Opera.

A 1939 newspaper article about Rowe noted, "Miss Rowe had the happy habit of winning every musical competition she entered." Those contests included the 1929 Atwater Kent national auditions, the 1932 McDowell Club Award, the 1933 National Federation of Music Clubs contest, and the 1938 Rising Musical Star competition on NBC radio.

Rowe gained early experience in radio when she sang over WTAM while she was a student at Wooster.

Career
In 1938, Rowe had the role of Beauty in Vittorio Giannini's Beauty and the Beast on CBS, radio's first commissioned opera. She also was one of the featured vocalists on The First American Opera Festival, a sustaining program that was broadcast on WOR in 1942. The one-hour program presented adaptations of seven operas and promoted sales of savings bonds and stamps for the U.S. Treasury Department.

On radio, Rowe was the female vocalist on Gaslight Gayeties and Harvest of Stars,. She performed regularly on Johnny Presents, the Burl Ives Coffee Club and the Gay Nineties Revue. Other shows on which she was heard included Melody Hall.

Rowe sang with the Montreal Opera, the Westchester Philharmonic Society, and other groups.

In 1947, Rowe and Glen Burris, accompanied by Paul Baron's orchestra, recorded The Student Prince Album (Majestic MZ-4), containing six discs. In 1948, Rowe — along with Lillian Cornell and Lawrence Brooks, accompanied by Sigmund Romberg's orchestra and chorus — recorded Gems From Sigmund Romberg Shows Vol. II (Victor MO 1256). The album contained four discs.

Personal life
Rowe was married to Albert Payson Hill, a teacher. He was a pianist who often accompanied her in concerts.
