| | Trades Union Congress - A celebration of the life of Rt Hon Lord Murray of Epping Forest 1922-2004 |
 | | It was so again a couple of years later when, because of the effects of industrial action at GCHQ on the flow of intelligence between the United Kingdom and the United States, the Prime Minister insisted on removing from the national unions their rights of representation in GCHQ. | | | On December 13, 2004, some 200 of his friends and former colleagues gathered in the Royal Robing Room of the House of Lords to celebrate his life. | | | We could not have done it either without Black Rod and his staff or without the Yeoman Usher and the attendants, many of whom you have met as you came in this evening, ladies and gentlemen. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Bond, Edward |
| | In the case of his early plays, in particular, Bond is also very concerned with the reality of characters he is presenting, and with the specific tasks that they are engaged in – from Len mending a chair in Saved to Lear tearing down the defensive wall around his kingdom which he had previously built. | | | In his theatre work Bond is acutely aware – an awareness he passes on to the audience in graphic, unequivocal stage images – of individuals' place in (and their moral responsibility within) society. | | | One of Bond's constant complaints when aiming at the inadequacy of the theatre system in Britain is that there is much more willingness to accept theatre-theory and the challenge of new forms of staging and presentation on the Continent of Europe. |

| | Barefoot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Jesus advised his disciples to go out for preaching the Kingdom of God without taking along shoes -- and Jesus is shown barefoot on most paintings to demonstrate his peaceful mission. | | | People who promote a barefoot lifestyle, such as Richard Frazine and members of The Society for Barefoot Living maintain that habitually going barefoot makes the feet tougher and far less susceptible (though not immune) to commonly feared hazards; this is echoed by former NJ health commissioner Len Fishman. | | | Barefoot children are also common in the paintings and sketches of Norman Rockwell. |
