For his audition, <mask> performed a Vivaldi piece on the violin while incorporating popping during the piece's fast passages, as well as a cappella singing; he received an offer from the company the following week. At the time, he applied for colleges for classical music, but ultimately decided to go "down the K-pop road", as he explains, "I'll be dancing and singing, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to play the violin anymore or piano. I decided that I had to go down this road because that was the only way I could do pretty much everything." He initially declined the offer because his father wanted him to go to university.After his mother was impressed during a visit to the company in South Korea, she convinced his father for him to accept the offer. <mask> is able to speak four languages. Aside from speaking native English, he is fluent in Mandarin and Korean and can speak conversational Cantonese. Career

She began her education in Villa Lerdo and then attended an Industrial School in Chihuahua learning accounting, shorthand, telegraphy, typing, as well as English and Spanish. At the age of 13, she returned home and gave private lessons in shorthand and typing to children. In 1911, she moved to Mexico City.Biography
Arriving in Mexico City, <mask> joined a liberal club and became a public supporter of Venustiano Carranza, lobbying against Porfirio Díaz. She was discovered by Venustiano Carranza while giving a speech to welcome him upon his return to the capital. He then offered her the opportunity to work with him in Veracruz. She became his private secretary and continued rallying support for the rights of Mexican women and liberal ideologies. Carranza supported her efforts, permitting her to distribute feminist propaganda in the southern Mexican states of Tabasco, Campeche, and Yucatán, and in the traditionally liberal state of Veracruz, as well as Carranza's home state of Coahuila, and San Luis Potosí and Nuevo León. Carranza also appointed her as his representative in Cuba and Colombia, to publicize his policies in surrounding Latin America. In 1915, she created a magazine called La Mujer Moderna ("The Modern

texts: Woman").Along with essays discussing feminist ideas, it served as propaganda to support Carranza. Almost all of her works helped the political campaign of Carranza in some way. The magazine also featured articles which expressed her disapproval of the Catholic Church and its methods of control. She was one of the first feminists to speak out about the church and its view of women. <mask> collaborated with many other journalists and feminists, with the majority of these women being from Spain who were fighting for the same issues as <mask>. The most famous women that stand out from her magazine and articles are María Luisa de la Torre de Otero, Clarisa P. de Torres, Julia D. Febles Cantón Vda. de Palomeque, Micaela Rosado de P., Bolivia M. de Rivas, Rosario Rivas Hernández, María Pacheco, Artemisa N. Sanz Royo, and Luz Calva.Although the magazine was titled La Mujer Moderna, she still included male journalists in her works. She eventually wrote Carranza's biography in addition to at least five other books. One of her books, Un presidenciable: el general Don Pablo Gonzalez, was written about the general Pablo González Garza who was a general during the Mexican Revolution under President Carranza. Her support for Carranza was incredibly obvious because out of all her works were related to him; even the feminist magazine. At the time her views of sex education and women's sexuality were considered to be extremely radical. Her approach seeking equality and women's rights were seen as controversial. During the Feminist Congress of 1916, which Galindo did not attend, César González, an education administrator for Carranza, read a statement in which Galindo attacked the male double standard in

 Mexico.After these statements were read, conservative women's groups went on the defensive and came back with a statement which supported the traditional role of women and opposed women's education. Carranza allowed <mask> to submit a proposal for women's equality to the Constituent Congress of 1917, but the item was stricken from the final agenda. Her strong support for Carranza was evident in her writings, which expressed her faith in him and his potential to create a social revolution. Through him she believed that women could get the vote and that there was hope for social reform. In the end, Carranza failed to create the change he promised. Instead, because of corruption, he was seen as an enemy of the Revolution, which left <mask> disillusioned. On 2 March 1917, she took matters into her own hands and filed as a candidate for Deputy of 5th constituency of Mexico City.Gabriela Cano, historian, reported that "it was the first time that, in Mexico, a woman contended as an electoral choice". Though some records show <mask> won a majority of the votes, the Electoral College rejected her  results, claiming that they were only complying with the law forbidding women. She accepted the rejection but made it clear that her purpose had been to show publicly that women could be elected and should be allowed to hold public office. In 1923, <mask> attended a Feminist Congress in the State of Tabasco and organized several revolutionary clubs in Campeche, Tabasco, Veracruz, and Yucatán. She married later that year and ended her political involvement. She died 18 August 1954 in Mexico City. Tribute

He was abducted and beheaded according to a video released in May 2004 by Islamist militants in response to the Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse involving the United States Army and Iraqi prisoners. The CIA claimed <mask> was murdered by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The decapitation video was released on the internet, reportedly from London to a Malaysian-hosted homepage by the Islamist organization Muntada al-Ansar. Early life and education
<mask> grew up in West Whiteland Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. He was referred to as a "religious Jew." <mask> graduated from Henderson High School in West Chester in 1996.In 1996, he was a student at Cornell University but later dropped out. He took classes at Drexel University in 1998, and in 1999, <mask> attended summer sessions on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania. At some point, <mask> took a class at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. He never earned a college degree. In 2002, with family members, created Prometheus Methods Tower Service.

 the United States by telephone and email. <mask> had intended to return to the United States on March 30, 2004, but he was detained in Mosul on March 24. His family claims that he was turned over to U.S. officials and held for 13 days without access to legal counsel. FBI agents visited his parents to confirm his identity on March 31, 2004, but he was not immediately released.After his parents filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia on April 5, 2004, claiming that he was being held illegally, he was released from custody. He said that he had not been mistreated during his confinement. The U.S. maintains that at no time was <mask> in coalition custody, but rather that he was held by Iraqi forces. The Mosul police deny they ever arrested <mask>, and <mask>'s family has turned over an email from the U.S. consul stating "I have confirmed that your son, <mask>, is being detained by the U.S. military in Mosul." According to the Associated Press, <mask> was released from custody on April 6, 2004 and advised by U.S. officials to take a flight out of Iraq, with their assistance. <mask> is said to have refused this offer and traveled to Baghdad, where he stayed at the Al-Fanar Hotel. His family last heard from him on April 9, 2004.<mask> had his last contact with U.S. officials on April 10, 2004 and did not return again to his hotel after that date.

<mask>'s body was found decapitated on May 8, 2004, on a Baghdad overpass by a U.S. military patrol. <mask>'s family was informed of his death two days later. Military sources stated publicly at the time that <mask>'s body showed "signs of trauma", but did not disclose that he had been decapitated. On May 11, 2004, the website of the militant jihadist group Muntada al-Ansar posted a video with the opening title of "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi slaughters an American", which shows <mask> being decapitated. The video is about five and a half minutes long. The video shows <mask>, seated, facing the camera and his captors standing behind him also facing the camera. <mask> is wearing an orange jumpsuit, similar to ones worn by prisoners in U.S. custody.His captors are all masked, their identities concealed. He identifies himself: "My name is <mask>, my father's name is Michael, my mother's name is Suzanne. I have a brother and sister, David and Sarah. I live in West Chester, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia." A lengthy statement is read aloud. The masked men then converge on <mask>. Two of them hold him down, while one decapitates him with a knife.The video title claims the decapitator was Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, but this can't be determined as all the men are masked. A scream can be heard as men shout "Allahu Akbar". After the head is severed, one of the men displays the head to the camera, then lays it down on the decapitated body. During the video, the masked man reading the statement said the killing was in revenge for the abuse at Abu Ghraib torture and prisoner abuse. The man says Muslims should seek

 vengeance for Abu Ghraib, and that the Muslim clergy had been complacent. The man also threatens further deaths, and makes specific threats to U.S. President George W. Bush and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf. Media in the United States and around the world grappled with the question of how much graphics to print.The Dallas Morning News showed an image in which the killer holds <mask>'s severed head, while Seattle Times only displayed the image of the killer. British newspaper The Independent urged restraint, arguing the video was propaganda and publishing images from it "plays into the hands" of terrorists. Reactions
The death of  <mask> provoked condemnation in the United States, and the Arab World. <mask>'s killing was condemned by the Arab League, and United Nations, as well as by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, and Hezbollah.

He was noted by the Athletic News as a 'working forward and very efficient with his feet; in other words, he was a sound dribbler.' International career

At rugby union, was capped twice for  between 1882 and 1883. Cricket career

He played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Middlesex, and represented the Scotland national cricket team.Mr. <mask> often played cricket for West of Scotland, Grange, Fettesian-Lorettonians, and in the second visit of the Australian XI. scored in game at Titwood, Glasgow. He was for many years one of Scotland's most accomplished, all-round sportsmen, and the large number of mourners his funeral was tribute the esteem and admiration in which was held. From the Cricket magazine of 25 February 1886:

MR. JAMES GEORGE WALKER. SCOTTISH cricket, as every one has noticed with the greatest satisfaction, has shown a marked advance during the last few years. It is hardly necessary to adduce proofs in support of the statement. There is plenty of evidence in the records, some of them even of a sensational character, of

Fettes and Loretto, the latter in particular, have furnished during the last few years, considering their limited resources, a very respectable proportion of cricketers to the two English Universities. Born in Glasgow on Oct. 9,1859, Scotland is entitled to the credit of Mr. <mask>'s early education. Sent to Loretto in his thirteenth year, he secured a place in the School cricket eleven in the summer of 1875, when not yet sixteen. His performances at School from 1875 to 1879 were distinctly above the average. In 1878 and 1879, in the last of which he was Captain, in particular, he scored heavily, and he left Loretto with a high reputation as an all • round cricketer. During the winter of 1879 Mr. <mask> went into residence at Trinity College, Oxford, but though tried once in 1880 he failed to get his blue.That he was in capital form, though, was proved satisfactorily later in the season, and his brilliant performance at Glasgow at the end of that summer against the Australians will not soon be forgotten, particularly by Glasgowegians. Playing for Eighteen of the Clydesdale Club he defied for a long time all the best Colonial bowling, and his score of eighty-five in that match was one of the

texts: best innings made against the Second Australian Team. This brilliant performance gave him, as was only to be expected, a high reputation, and the authorities at Oxford were hopeful that he would prova a valuable acquisition in the following seas His opening performance of 1881, too, was of a kind to fully justify these expectations, a his first score of 81 out of 178 in the Seniors' match was an excellent display of crick it. Unfortunately, though, a severe attack of bronchitis put an end to his chances of cricket for the year, and he was prevented from playing in any of the Oxford matches during that summer—a great disappointment, it will be readily understood. The following season saw another old Lorettonian, Mr. Norman McLachlan, Captain of the Oxford University Eleven, and again Mr. <mask> was seen to advantage in the earliest of the trial fixtures. His 55 in the Seniors' match secured him a place in the Eleven against the Sixteen Freshmen, and in this as well as in the next match, for the Twelve against the Next Sixteen, he showed capital cricket, being highest scorer for his side with 25 and 67 in the former, and second in the latter with 42. Though only moderately successful against the Australians he came out well in the next two fixtures—against M.C.C.and Ground and the Gentlemen of England—contributing 87 by steady cricket in the first, and 60 in his first innings in the second of these two engagements. His batting in 1882 at Oxford was


texts: particularly effective, but in London, on the other hand, he was most unfortunate. Against M.C.C. at Lord's he was credited with 15 and 5, but at the Oval he failed to score either time, and in the University match he had to be content with 6 runs as the result of his two innings. Though he did not figure so well in the trial matches of Oxford in 1883, in the more important matches he was proportionately fortunate, and his cricket throughout the season was excellent in every sense. His highest scores in the earlier matches were his 93 and 29 against the Gentlemen, but he rarely failed to make a good show, and his 63 in the opening fixture against M.C.C. was, perhaps, his best innings.Against Cambridge, at Lord's, too, his batting was of the greatest use, and his second score of 51, for which he was two hours and ten minutes at the wickets, was an admirable display of defensive cricket. He played on a few occasions for M.C.C. in 1884, and with fair success, scoring 102 in six innings, of which 43 were made against Yorkshire —another good exhibition of defence. Mr. <mask> has been actively identified of late years with the Free Foresters, and both for this club as well as for I Zingari, of which distinguished fraternity he is now a member, has done excellent service. His innings for the latter at Scarborough at the end of last summer against the Gentlemen of England will be remembered by CRICKET readers. On that occasion he went in first, and was

Mr. <mask> is a thoroughly sound bat with very strong defence.He is particularly good on soft or difficult wickets, as he watches the ball most carefully. He cuts particularly well, and has a good stroke on the leg side—a pushing stroke in front of short leg. Ho is a most painstaking field, usually taking point, where though somewhat slow he is sure.

<mask> (Classical Syriac : ܝܵܘܣܸܦ ܒܲܪ ܫܸܡܥܘܿܢ , ( Yusuf ibn Siman as-Simani, , ; July 27, 1687–January 13, 1768) was a librarian, Lebanese Maronite orientalist, and Catholic bishop. For his efforts, and his encyclopedic knowledge, he earned the nickname "The Great Assemani". Life
<mask> was born on 27 July 1687 in Hasroun, Mount Lebanon into the <mask> family. His surname is related to several distinguished Orientalists and clergy. "Assemani" is an Arabic patronymic which means son of Simeon, but this did not prevent him from being called Simon. When very young, in 1703, he was sent to the Maronite College in Rome, and was transferred thence to the Vatican library. Assemani graduated in 1709.A talented graduate (at that time he had written three essays on the Syrian grammar and theology), he was spotted by Pope Clement XI, who kept him in Rome and ordered him to catalogue early Christian manuscripts that were brought in 1707 from Egypt by his brother Elias. In 1710, <mask> worked as scribe of Oriental manuscripts (scriptor Orientalis), translator from Arabic and Syriac languages, and advisor to the Congregation for the review and reform of the liturgical books of the Eastern rites. He was ordained priest on 21 September 1710. In 1711 Assemani received papal authorization to pass from the Maronite Church to the Latin Church. From 1715 to 1717

texts: he was sent to Wadi El Natrun, Cairo, Damascus and Lebanon to search for valuable manuscripts, and returned with about 150, which formed a collection in the Vatican Library. In 1735 Pope Clement XII sent him again to the East where he presided the 1736 Maronite Synod of Mount-Lebanon, which laid the foundations for the modern Maronite Church. He returned with a still more valuable collection, because he found the opportunity to collect even more ancient works.This time he brought about 2,000 works, and the most important of them was the Codex Assemanius, an evangeliary which he had brought from Jerusalem in 1736. He later played a significant role in mediating several crises in the Maronite Church hierarchy, by virtue of his influence in Rome and his knowledge of the Maronite Church. In 1738, Assemani was back in Lebanon, and a year later was made First Librarian of the Vatican library. He was also appointed by Carlo di Borbone as an official chronicler of the Kingdom of Naples. In Rome he began elaborating plans to publish the most valuable of his collected works. His translation of Ephrem the Syrian's writings, his bibliography of Syriac writers from the Clementino-Vaticana Library, and his classification of Byzantine writings, are all worthy of mention. In recognition of his achievements, he was appointed bishop on December 1, 1766 and

Part of his work was lost in his apartment during a fire on August 30, 1768. His brother and nephew were also notable orientalists. Works
When appointed librarian of the Vatican library he instantly began to carry into execution most extensive plans for editing and publishing the most valuable manuscript treasures of the Vatican. His main work is:

Durbin was born in 1989 to <mask>, a dentist's daughter, and <mask>, a bass player, who died of a heroin overdose when <mask> was nine. He stated during his aired audition on American Idol that he was upset he didn't have the chance to know his father well. He was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome and Asperger syndrome shortly after his father died. He attended Musicschool, a music school run by Dale Ockerman in Santa Cruz instead of a traditional school. Durbin never graduated from high school.Durbin cites popular bands My Chemical Romance and Thirty Seconds to Mars as his inspirations for his music. In 2006, he performed in a Santa Cruz children's theater group called Kids on Broadway and played the lead role in Grease and Beauty and the Beast. In 2007, he played the leading roles of Tony in West Side Story and Oscar in Sweet Charity—both productions produced by All About Theatre, a Santa Cruz community theatre company.

He was the lead singer in a band called Hollywood Scars, where he went by the stage name of Jimmy Levox. Influenced by bands such as Metallica, Pantera, Judas Priest, Dream Theater, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden and Mötley Crüe, Hollywood Scars drew their inspiration from the glitz, glam, and decadence of Hollywood's Sunset Strip in the 1980s. The band released a single entitled "Under The Cherry Tree".He was also in a band called Whatever Fits. He has

 Vatican Council. He was the newest and youngest American bishop at the start of the council. Starting in 1976 <mask> worked with Call to Action and sought to implement their program.His tenure as bishop of Helena was marked by increased lay involvement in church matters, the establishment of a mission in Guatemala, the closure of several Catholic elementary and high schools, and the strengthening of religious education programs which function in every diocesan parish. Seattle
He was appointed Archbishop of Seattle, Washington by Pope Paul VI in 1975. In 1982, <mask> withheld half of his income tax to protest the stockpiling of nuclear weapons and the Trident missile program which had a base nearby, in Puget Sound. In a speech, he said, "Trident is the Auschwitz of Puget Sound." This tax resistance prompted the Internal Revenue Service to garnish his wages. Church investigation
As a result of the complaints surrounding his alleged deviations from church doctrine, in 1983 the Vatican authorized Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to launch an investigation. Archbishop (later Cardinal) James Hickey of Washington, DC, was named apostolic visitor to the Archdiocese of Seattle.Hickey's delegation met with <mask> and others to investigate his administrative and pastoral practices. The investigation concluded that <mask> had exercised "weak doctrinal leadership" in a number of areas, including allowing children to receive the sacrament of Communion without first having received the sacrament of penance. Donald Wuerl, later Bishop of Pittsburgh and Archbishop of Washington, was controversially named an auxiliary bishop with special powers. According to Thomas Bokenkotter, "A resolution of the affair was finally announced by the Vatican in April after it accepted the report of a commission that recommended that <mask>'s authority be restored and a coadjutor bishop be appointed. <mask> stoutly

<mask> (April 5, 1880 – June 6, 1972) was a successful Spanish Filipino business tycoon, industrialist and politician. At the height of his wealth, from the 1950s to his death in the early 1970s, his portfolio was estimated to be $850 million American dollars, which would translate to more than $9 billion American dollars today. <mask> died at home in New Manila, Quezon City, under the care of his youngest daughter, Maria Luisa. Early life
Born in 1880, <mask> grew up in Ligao, Albay. He was the only son of <mask>, who emigrated from Barcelona, Spain, a Catalan migrant and former soldier, and Macaria López y Pardo de Tavera, a Spanish mestiza. Macaria was one of two natural daughters of Joaquin Pardo de Tavera who lived in Albay as a bachelor prior to his marriage to Gertrudis Gorricho, a wealthy heiress. Growing up in meager circumstances in remote provinces, he dreamt of owning his own shipping fleet.When the monsoon rains came, he created paper boats. His mother, nicknamed Nena, teased him that his paper boats would not take him too far away and his reply was always that one day he would take his mom and dad away on his real ship across the seas to visit Spain, his father's dying wish. He studied at Colegio de San Juan de Letran, a Manila college known for its roster of half-Spanish Filipinos and for its location in the walled city of Intramuros, once the regional bastion of Spanish power. With his father depending on a small pension, the family exploited its military connections with the Escuela Nautica who were close with the friars who owned San Juan de Letran. He graduated with the highest honors. His closest college classmates were future Presidents Manuel Luis Quezon and Sergio Osmeña, who were themselves poor relatives of rich families. While in Manila, he came face-to-face with the staggering wealth of his maternal grandfather's family, that of Joaquin Pardo de Tavera and the Gorricho
