Joanna & 王若琳

Joanna & 王若琳 is the second studio album by Joanna Wang, released in January 2009. It comprises two discs, given two separate titles: the first, also titled Joanna & 王若琳, is described in this article; disc 2 is titled The Adult Storybook, under the name "New Tokyo Terror".

The album's title includes Wang's English and Chinese names, thereby reflecting the duality of the singer and the songwriter. The first disc displays the performer and includes covers of works by other artists. Conversely, the second disc emphasizes the creative Wang, as every song on it was written by her. Although her father, co-producer Ji-ping "Bing" Wang (王治平), was involved in the album's production, Wang was given more freedom, enabling her to fully express herself through her music.

Track listing

All songs written by Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (music) and Joanna Wang (lyrics), except where noted.

Johanna (East Indiaman)

Johanna (or Joanna) was an East Indiaman for the British East India Company (EIC), possibly named for the island of Anjouan, then known as Johanna. She made five voyages for the EIC between c. 1671 and 1681, On her sixth voyage she became the first Indiaman lost on the South African coast when she wrecked in February 1682.

Career

Captain Hopefar Bendall was her captain for the first five, successful voyages.

Loss

For her sixth voyage, Johanna was under the command of Captain Robert Brown. She left the Downs on 24 February 1682, and wrecked near the Cape Agulhas on 8 June 1682, while in a convoy to India with four other ships. Ten persons lost their lives, while the remaining 104 were able to make their way to Cape Town.

Post-script

A considerable amount of gold was on board. Dutch East India Company governor of the Cape Simon van der Stel immediately recovered some of it. Three hundred years later, in 1982, treasure hunters salvaged a further 23,000 coins and several hundred kilograms of silver.

The Stephens family is a prominent legal dynasty in Australia that has produced a number of judges and jurists. Members include:

Stephens (Kent cricketer)

Stephens (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played for Dartford and Kent during the 1750s.

Career

Stephens is first mentioned when he played for All-England against his native Kent in the two matches at the Artillery Ground in May 1751.

He is not mentioned again until 1759 when he took part in the three Dartford v All-England matches which are the only first-class matches found in the 1759 sources.

As Stephens had established his reputation by 1751, he must have been active for some years previously. His career probably began in the 1740s and continued into the 1760s but it was a period when very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports.
