William Thomas (Newfoundland politician)
William Thomas (1785 – November 5, 1863) was an English-born merchant and politician. Thomas was elected to the House of Assembly representing the district of St. John's on the first general election held in Newfoundland in 1832.

Thomas was active in the effort to earn Newfoundland its own parliament and was appointed to the committee "to petition his majesty for a legislature."  He was also active in the concerns of the poor, serving on numerous committees to help improve their condition, including work on a commission to assign work to those on welfare.

Thomas was born in Dartmouth, Devon. He came to Newfoundland in 1801 and entered business in partnership with his brother Henry. Thomas was named to the colony's three-person Executive Council in 1833, working on early efforts to establish self-governance for Newfoundland.  He returned to England around 1850, and died at Huyton.

Its economy collapsed during the Great Depression. On 16 February 1934, the Newfoundland legislature agreed to the creation of a six-member Commission of Government to govern the country. In 1949, the country voted to join Canada as the province of Newfoundland.

Örtug
Örtug or ortig (Finnish: äyrityinen, aurto or aurtua) was a medieval currency unit in Sweden. It was originally minted as a silver coin in 1370 during the reign of king Albert of Sweden. The coin weighed about 1.3 grams and consisted of 81% silver. As time passed, the örtug was debased: during the reign of Eric of Pomerania, the örtug contained 0.88 grams of silver; under Christian I, 0.7 grams; and in 1534 only 0.54 grams of silver.

During the reign of Gustav Vasa (1523–1560), the monetary system of Sweden was reformed: an örtug was now subdivided into 12 pennings, not 8 as before, while still valued as one third of an öre.

Örtug coins were struck during the years 1523–1534; 1535–1540 in Stockholm; 1528–1531 in Västerås and 1589–1589 in Stockholm and Uppsala. Production ceased after another monetary reform in 1776.

E'en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come
"E'en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come" is a 1953 motet composed by Paul Manz with lyrics adapted by Ruth Manz. The piece is adapted from text found in the Book of Revelation. It is known as Paul Manz's most notable composition and has been frequently performed by numerous ensembles and choral groups such as the King's College Choir, who are thought to have popularized it.

Motet
In Western classical music, a motet is mainly a vocal musical composition, of highly diverse form and style, from high medieval music to the present. The motet was one of the preeminent polyphonic forms of Renaissance music. According to the English musicologist Margaret Bent, "a piece of music in several parts with words" is as precise a definition of the motet as will serve from the 13th to the late 16th century and beyond. The late 13th-century theorist Johannes de Grocheo believed that the motet was "not to be celebrated in the presence of common people, because they do not notice its subtlety, nor are they delighted in hearing it, but in the presence of the educated and of those who are seeking out subtleties in the arts".

The award is not given if the jury does not meet a consensus.

At the 25th Golden Melody Awards, Taiwanese rapper Dwagie's "Refuse to Listen (不聽)" and Jonathan Lee's "Hills (山丘)" each received nine to nine votes from the judges. Since three judges abstained, it did not meet the consensus so the award was not given during the ceremony.
