<mask>k encouraged his children in music from an early age. The August 1840 issue of The Musical World reviewed a June concert of that year at which:

"... the Misses Sedlatzek ( the eldest of whom is not yet 12 years of age), played several pieces on the pianoforte in excellent style. They have been grounded in music by their father, and also tutored by Pio Cianchetti, and the style of  Clementi and Dussek might be easily traced in their performances." While all of <mask>'s children found careers as musicians in the following decades, his daughter,  Marie, was most often referenced in the London journals in the latter half of the 19th century. The Musical World records that a farewell concert was given in the Netherlands, where she had been touring extensively as a featured performer in previous months, on 18 February 1854 in Amsterdam at the Salle du Parc., which was "highly successful.""Sedlatzek sang ... and was recalled at the end of each movement to receive the applause of the audience. This young vocalist, although she has scarcely reached her 20th year, has attained great excellence." After her farewell performance in Amsterdam, she met her father in England in March 1854 for the start of their London tour together. "Fraulein <mask>, Principal Vocalist and <mask>, Principal Flautist to His Highness the Prince Esterházy, beg to announce their arrival in London for the season.

 Street, Manchester." (The Musical World Saturday March 11, 1854.) The Saturday March 18 edition of The Musical World included the item in their news section, saying: "M<mask>, the well-known flautist and composer has arrived in London with his daughter, who is reported to possess considerable talent as a vocalist.Fraulein <mask> has been very favorably received in Vienna and Amsterdam." <mask> soon became a performer of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane where reviews, at first, were mixed. One reviewer in the May 1854 issue of The Musical World said, "Mdlle. Sedlatzek acted well as Marcellina, (in a production of Beethoven's "Fidelio" ) but had scarcely voice enough for the part." However, a review from a month earlier in the April 29 edition of the same journal said of Marie (in a production of  Weber's Freitschutz, starring Madame Caradori):

"Sedlatzek was recalled at the end with great enthusiasm ... (advancing) a step in public favor by the manner in which she sung the charming music of Annsehen and by the pretty and lively earnestness of her acting. She is young and inexperienced, but there is purpose in all she does." However mixed her initial reception may have been, Marie continued her career with the Royal Opera in London after her father returned to Vienna at the end of 1854.Marie eventually joined Theatre Royal, Dublin (Ireland), where she is frequently listed in the Annals of the Theatre Royal, Dublin as a performer there between 1855 and 1861. Later years and last days

Aside from the tour of London in 1854 with his daughter Marie, <mask> spent the last years of his life in his chosen homeland of Vienna,

 teaching flute, performing infrequent concerts, and training his children in music. <mask> gave his final performance in 1865 to celebrate more than 50 years as a musician at Bösendorfer Salon in Vienna. In addition to the many prominent musicians who performed and paid tribute was his son Georg, the cellist. <mask> died on April 11, 1866 at the Allgemeines Krankenhaus in Vienna and was buried in Währinger Kommunalfriedhoff (now Schubert Park) alongside his contemporaries Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert. Sedlatzek and the Viennese flute

Many of the reviews of <mask>'s performances which appeared in London journals in the nineteenth century make special mention of the specific type of flute he played, showing a strong association between the musician and his instrument. Although the English writers consistently referred to his instrument as the "German" flute, it was actually Viennese.The "Viennese" flute was the flute of Beethoven and Schubert's Vienna, playing important roles in some of their most famous compositions. Most notably constructed in the 1800s by the companies of Stephen Koch and <mask> of Vienna between 1807 and 1895, the Viennese flute was unusually long allowing additional keys for playing notes as low as the G below middle C, corresponding to the lowest note on the violin. To clarify, the Viennese flute was not the equivalent of the modern alto flute. This was a standard concert flute extended to provide a wider range, a fuller toned body of sound, and additional keys with fingering options not available on a shorter flute. The Royal Military Exhibition of Musical Instruments held in London

 in 1890 featured a large display of flutes of all varieties, including an 1827 model by Koch which the exhibition catalog identified as "once the property of the well-known Sedlatzek." The catalog further describes the flute as being made "of ebony, with thirteen silver keys descending to the G of a violin." In spite of the potential scale of the instrument, the low G was rarely attempted as the design created a non-responsiveness in the lower register that made its lowest note extremely difficult to sufficiently intone.This technical flaw in the Viennese flute's design yielded a popular anecdote among flute enthusiasts involving Sedlatzek that has been often repeated:

"The low G very seldom came out successfully and when it did, Sedlatzek would stand the flute up in a corner and salute it with profound obeisance!" The Viennese flute is not the only unique instrument Sedlatzek brought to British shores. During an 1831 concert in London, he introduced English audiences to the latest German musical innovation, the Accordion:

"At the close of the show, Mr. Sedlatzek performed on a new instrument called the accordion ... which, however, has little beside its novelty to recommend it." Performance and composition

Much of the acclaim Sedlatzek received for his performances throughout his life was founded upon his speed and agility on the unusually long-scale Viennese flute, earning him the alias "the Paganini of Flute". The following commentary appeared in the "London Literary Gazette", 1827. "Among the musical performers at present in London to whom we have listened with great pleasure ... we have to notice M. <mask>

An original manuscript of Sedlatzek's "Souvenir du Simplon" mentioned above is currently held at the Moravian Library. The manuscript of Sedlatzek's "La Pasta!" (a tribute to the Italian Mezzo-Soprano Giuditta Pasta composed with Reissiger), is preserved in the collection of Henry Gasset (1813–1886). Among the works listed in the Melbourne Library catalog, as being either arranged or composed by <mask>, are: "Eleven airs from the operas of Rossini, Carafa, and Mercadante", "Souvenir a Paganini: variations on the Carnival of Venice", "Souvenir a Pasta et Rubini", and "Sehnsucht nach dem Rigi."

 between the two spellings <mask> and Sedlaczek. Sedlatzek (tz) is <mask>'s birthname originating in Silesia. However, due to Polonization of the region during his lifetime, the Polish spelling Sedlaczek (cz) was adopted in countries controlled by or strongly influenced by Poland. References to <mask> in Vienna papers predominantly used the Polish "cz" spelling while most other areas of Europe used the "tz" spelling. <mask> himself is known to have alternated between the two spellings in his own personal signature according to the culture and dialect of the country he was in at the time.Many direct descendants of <mask> ultimately adopted the Polish spelling "Sedlaczek" as his son, Georg, eventually settled in Vienna, and <mask>'s grandson, Ludwig Sedlaczek, was born in Vienna, where the "cz" spelling was preferred. Researching the life of <mask> requires searching under all of these variations. Polish and German biographies

 ceremony held in Oberglogau (Glogowek) in 1930 in which citizens of the town at that time posed for a re-enactment photo. Entitled "Farewell to the Apprentice", the scene depicted <mask>'s departure from his hometown in 1810 to pursue a career in music. An impersonator of <mask>, traveling bag in hand, stands at the center of the picture beside the Mayor of Oberglogau with a crowd of locals surrounding them.

'"Das Oberglogauer sendwert wunscht 1.Wandergesellen. Gute Reise!"' ("Sending Best Wishes to the First Journeyman of Oberglogau. Have a good trip!") Sedlatzek and the 21st century

The first live performance of <mask>'s original compositions given in modern times occurred on 6 October 2012 at the 20th annual Silesian Music Festival in Poland, as reviewed in the article "<mask>k: Master Flute, Found!" published on the Polish website Maestro.net on 9 November 2012. The performers were flautist Elzbieta Wolenska of the Wroclaw Academy of Music, and pianist Elzbieta Zawadzka who played at the Observatory in Glogowek from newly unearthed manuscripts discovered in London archives in 2012.The performance was to commemorate the release of the first ever sound recording of Sedlatzek originals ever produced. The flautist Wolenska had initiated her search for Sedlatzek Manuscripts after being inspired by stories told to her by the Glogowek Regional Museum Director, Alexander Devosges-Cuber, about the young tailor's apprentice from Glogowek whose advanced flute technique earned him the patronage of the Count von Oppersdorf, eventually

 allowing <mask> to become one of the most famous flautists of the 19th century, often referred to as "The Paganini of Flute". A three-year search of archives across Europe yielded little result until, in the spring of 2012, Wolenska uncovered 300 pages worth of manuscripts in the London National Library. Upon returning to Glogowek with the manuscripts, Wolenska and Zawadzka began recording the lost music of Sedlatzek in July 2012, including the titles "Souvenir de Simplon", "La Marie", "Souvenir a Paganini", and "Amitie". The 80 minute CD entitled "Johann Sedlatzek: Souvenir" was released in Poland in the Autumn of 2012 on JBrecords. Maestro.net called the presentation "an historic event ... and a masterful performance." Shortly after this world-premier performance of Sedlatzek's music at the Silisian Music Festival, the city of Glogowek, Joahnn's birth home, announced a public-works project on 31 October 2012 in conjunction with the Glogowek Regional Museum to restore the memory of <mask>k as an important figure in the town's history.Notes and references

<mask> (born 1 November 1977) is an English singer-songwriter and musician. Already an established songwriter, he first became famous as a solo artist through his appearances on the BBC television show Fame Academy 2 in 2003, where he was mentored by Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. He subsequently had two top twenty hit singles and a top twenty album in the UK. Early career
<mask> was born in Middlesbrough, England. He started singing and writing songs whilst still a student at York St. John College (now York St. John University), playing guitar and busking on the streets of York with a small band. His wide musical influences range from classic rock and Britpop, to English and American folk music. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in English literature and following a brief stint working as a milkman around his home town, he moved to London to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter.In 2001, as vocalist with the pop/rock band Sugartown, he performed in front of 70,000 people at the Leeds Party in the Park. The following year, he and his occasional songwriting partner, Stuart Hanna (now part of folk duo Megson) formed the band Pulse, and co-wrote the song "Fade Away" (having recorded the song on an 8-track in Hanna's bedroom) and entered it for the 2002 Song for Europe competition on BBC Radio 2. The song was shortlisted, and a performance by Pulse was broadcast, but it failed to reach the finals. <mask> was briefly a member of the boyband Ultra and spent some time working in Germany with DJ Sammy. It was widely reported that he auditioned for the boyband Blue, only narrowly failing to make it to the final line-up, but <mask> later dismissed this as a fabrication by the press. Although signed by music publisher Trevor Horn's company, Perfect Songs, he was unable to get a solo recording contract and in 2002, he applied to become a contestant on the first series of Fame Academy.

 his first attempt in 2002, but was not chosen to appear on the show.He re-applied for a place on Fame Academy 2 the following year and was voted through by the public with the highest vote of the preliminary round. The vocal coaches criticized both his voice and image, calling them "unoriginal", "unidentifiable" and "boybandish"; however, guest judge Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees said <mask> had a "unique talent" as a vocalist and songwriter, an "ideal recording voice" with "an engaging vocal tone". His technically accomplished live performances and proven songwriting ability gradually gained him the support of the public. As the final approached, he was dubbed the "dark horse" of the show by BBC Three presenter Claudia Winkleman, and eventually finished in second place. The final showdown between <mask> and eventual winner Alex Parks was screened live and generated so many angry messages from viewers after Daniel Bedingfield, who duetted with both finalists, made his feelings clear by urging viewers that they should "just vote for Alex". This outburst by Bedingfield led to claims of favouritism. The BBC was forced to close down the Points of View message boards as negative messages just flooded in the board.Bedingfield made a public apology to <mask> for his behaviour and outburst. The actual voting figures have never been publicly released. <mask> said about Fame Academy:

After Fame Academy

During 2004, <mask> performed live at over 50 gigs up and down the UK and appeared on numerous television programmes, including Top of the Pops and Liquid News. In March of that year, he also competed in the European 'WorldBest' competition in Cannes, singing live with Phil Collins. The live performances of his own material that he gave throughout that year, singing acoustically and with the backing of a regular 5-piece band, Riccardi, showed a marked difference from the generic 'pop' approach of his record company. After parting from UMTV, he abandoned his

 record company's 'pop style' backing tracks and his former 'boyband' image. In the autumn, he supported Robin Gibb on his 'Magnet' tour of Germany, opening each concert with an acoustic set of his own songs, playing guitar and accompanied on keyboards by long-time friend and fellow musician, Simon Waggott (Waggo), as well as joining Gibb on stage to duet on "My Lover's Prayer".On his return, he released an independent recording of his live performances in Germany, which he showcased at a series of concerts in the North of England. During 2005, <mask> continued to perform live, both solo and with Riccardi, but split with them later that year. He moved back to York and although there were rumours of a new recording deal, nothing materialized. In November, he assembled a new backing band and performed his first London gig for over a year at The Bedford, where he showcased several new compositions. Albion
In April 2006, <mask> announced that he would shortly be forming a new band, and that he would no longer be pursuing a solo career, but rather be concentrating on working and writing with his new band, that he called Albion. For some time, he performed solo only at charity events and small local venues. The initial lineup proved unsuccessful, with James and Tom Martin leaving a few months later to form another indie band, The Station Club.At the end of 2006, <mask> (guitar and vocals) and Walter Laybourne (drums), were joined by Paul Banks (ex Shed Seven) (guitars and keyboard) and Paul 'Foda' Fothergill (bass). At the beginning of 2007, <mask> set up his own recording studio called Oakwood near York. Despite writing and recording many songs together and releasing several free download tracks, Albion split up abruptly in August 2007 for reasons which were not made public. When interviewed, <mask> commented  "Things weren’t working out the way we anticipated and it seemed the right time to call it a day". After Albion

 disbanding Albion in August 2007, he confirmed his intention to resume recording and performing as a solo artist, although he has since performed several times at society weddings and other functions as well as at charity concerts, fronting his covers band, Blue Nun. As well as pursuing various other projects, he wrote and recorded material for his next solo album. He performed several of these brand new songs live with his own (unnamed) backing band in May 2008, during a short tour of smaller venues in the UK supporting recently signed indie band Ivyrise.In August 2008, he headlined the Truck Stage at the H2008:Beached festival in Scarborough and was also booked to return there for Acoustic Gathering 111 in September. UK tour dates with Ivyrise were announced for September as well as an additional appearance at the Grand Opera House, York. In December 2008, he made an impromptu appearance with David Smith and The Mojos. Recordings

In 1999–2000, <mask> recorded several demos of his own compositions which were made available online at Songmanagement.com. These have never been officially released. In 2002, he recorded the football anthem "Stand Up" which was included in the compilation album Boro Songs – The Sound of the Riverside. Several covers he recorded for the Fame Academy programme were released as download-only tracks by the BBC during the course of the show in 2003.These were also included in the compilation albums Fame Academy "Bee Gees Special" and Fame Academy – The Finalists, also released in 2003. In October 2003, <mask> signed a record deal with UMTV and at the end of December released his first single, "Bring It On"; a double A-side also featuring "My Lover's Prayer", a duet with Robin Gibb. Although it received very little airplay, it was voted  1 for 6 consecutive weeks on the music TV channel The Box, and reached the top 5 in the UK Singles Chart. On 9 January 2004, he was therefore able to fulfil one of his lifetime ambitions to

His second single, "You and Me (Tonight)", reached the top 20 but <mask> parted with both his record company and management soon afterwards.In late 2004, he released an independent solo CD, Live in Germany, featuring live recordings of the acoustic set he performed in Germany while supporting Robin Gibb. This included "Bring it On", "You and Me (Tonight)", "In Your Smile" and "I Have Lived" with a cover of "I Can't Make You Love Me". The limited edition CD was only made available for a short time at his concerts. At his Christmas concert in December 2006, he released another independently recorded, three track solo CD, Finding Boethius, consisting of one co-written song, "Let Love Speak Its Name", a cover of "Hallelujah" which he regularly sings live, and an acoustic cover of "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Brand new versions of four of the songs which were originally recorded with his former band Albion, but never released, are included on his most recent solo CD <mask> (May 2008), again produced independently and only available to buy at live concerts during the Ivyrise tour. These are "Blown Away", "I Have Lived", "Silent Suicide" and "Is It Me". Unreleased demos of his own compositions are regularly previewed on his official Myspace.<mask>'s third single "Just Drive" entered the UK Singles Chart at number 38, after being played in full over the BBC's Formula One montage at the end of the 2010 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The track was produced with David Watts at the Oakwood Studios, York. "Just Drive" is the title song for Sky Sports' F1 coverage. In July 2012, he released his second solo album Albion Sky, on the label Dramatico Entertainment. <mask>'s song "Always, No.1" was played in full over the BBC's F1 montage at the end of the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix and in 2014

Recording "Hallelujah Mark Viduka"

In February 2007, <mask> sang at a charity event at the Riverside Stadium, home of Middlesbrough Football Club.After his performance of Leonard Cohen’s "Hallelujah", he asked the audience if they would like to hear an alternative version, based on Cohen's song, but with new words dedicated to the Boro hero at that time, Australian striker Mark Viduka. Keeping faithfully to Cohen's melody, <mask>'s vocals are sung to a simple acoustic backing, forming a contrast to the altered lyrics which reference the particular skills of Viduka and several other popular players in the team, as well as some of their opponents. After hearing the song, Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate was so taken with it, he asked <mask> to make a special recording to play at the following day's match. It was played to the crowd at half-time and to the players in the dressing room after the game. The BBC Sports Review described the song as the "football anthem of the week, year, decade and possibly all time", and the Irish Times called it "a bit on the excellent side". TV and radio coverage followed. A film of <mask> performing the song with other young Middlesbrough supporters appeared on Sky Sports News, and he also appeared on the BBC's and ITV's regional news programmes.In addition to interviews on local radio stations, <mask> was also interviewed on BBC Radio Five Live. The song was also broadcast on several channels in Australia and on the BBC World Service. Southgate embraced the tune as a way of raising money for his chosen charity, Macmillan Cancer Support.

Mayor Johnson said about the song: "This song is a great tribute to the feelings of pride, inspiration and goodwill that spread throughout the country during the 2012 Games. I wish everyone involved the best of luck in their efforts in keeping the Olympic spirit alive." In 2014 <mask> released his 3rd album From Nowhere. He teamed up with Pledge Music allowing people to pre-order his album along with other bits of merchandise.

<mask> (born June 17, 1986) is a Vietnamese Canadian woman who was convicted of a 2010 kill-for-hire attack targeting both of her parents, murdering her mother and injuring her father. She alleged the crime was response to their "tiger parenting" into her mid-20s. The crime took place at the <mask> residence in Unionville, Markham, Ontario, in the Greater Toronto Area. <mask> was found guilty on multiple charges and sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after 25 years, the same penalty as her co-conspirators. Early life and education
<mask>'s mother, <mask> (pronounced "Bick"), and father, <mask>, were immigrants from the Chinese diaspora in Vietnam (Viet Hoa) to Canada. Hann was born and educated in Vietnam, moving to Canada in 1979 as a political refugee. Bich also immigrated as a refugee.The couple were married in Toronto and lived in Scarborough. Their two children are <mask>, born 1986, and Felix, born 1989. The Pans found work at Magna International, an auto parts manufacturer in Aurora, Ontario. Hann worked as a tool and die maker, while Bich made car parts. The couple persistently worked hard for their money to ensure that their children had the upbringing and opportunities they themselves had missed out on. Hann and Bich were thrifty and by 2004 were financially stable enough to purchase a "large" house with a two-car garage on a residential street in Markham, a city in the Greater Toronto Area with a large Asian population. Bich drove a Lexus ES 300 and Hann drove a Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W203).They had accumulated $200,000 in savings. <mask>'s parents set many goals for their children and had extremely high expectations of

She had hopes of becoming an Olympic figure skating champion until she tore a ligament in her knee. <mask> attended Mary Ward Catholic Secondary School where she played the flute in the school band. According to her high school friend Karen K. Ho, Hann was seen as "the classic tiger dad," and Bich was "his reluctant accomplice." The Pans picked <mask> up when classes ended each day and monitored her extracurricular activities very closely.They never permitted her to date boys while attending high school, or to attend high school dances out of fear that these activities would distract her from her academic commitments. <mask> was not permitted to attend any parties during the time her parents believed she was attending university. At the age of 22, "she had never gone to a club, been drunk, visited a friend's cottage or gone on vacation without her family." <mask> and her friends reportedly regarded this upbringing as restrictive and greatly oppressive. Despite her parents' high expectations that <mask> receive good grades in lower school, her grades throughout high school were somewhat average (in the 70% range) except for music. She forged report cards multiple times using false templates, deceiving her parents into thinking she earned straight As. When <mask> failed calculus class in grade 12, Ryerson University rescinded her early admission.As she could not bear to be perceived as a failure, she began to lie to those she knew, including her parents, and pretended she was attending university. Instead, she sat in cafés,

 taught as a piano instructor and worked in a restaurant to earn money. In order to maintain the charade, <mask> told her parents she had won scholarships, later falsely claiming that she had accepted an offer into the pharmacology program at the University of Toronto. She went to the extent of purchasing second-hand textbooks and watching videos related to pharmacology in order to create notebooks full of purported class notes that she could show her parents. <mask> also requested permission from her parents to stay near the campus with a friend throughout the week. She was actually staying with her boyfriend, Daniel Chi-Kwong Wong, whom she had met in high school. He was of mixed Chinese and Filipino ancestry, resided in Ajax, and worked at a Boston Pizza restaurant.Wong, once a student at Mary Ward, transferred to Cardinal Carter Academy in North York, Toronto, due to low grades, and later studied at York University. He was an active marijuana dealer. Adult life
While pretending to complete her degree at the University of Toronto, <mask> told her parents that she had started working as a volunteer at The Hospital for Sick Children. Hann and Bich soon became suspicious when they realized she did not have a hospital ID badge or uniform. On one occasion, Bich followed her daughter to "work" and quickly discovered her deception. In a state of shock, Hann wanted to throw <mask> out of the house, but her mother persuaded him to allow her to stay. As she had not completed high school due to failing calculus, she eventually began working to finish high school completely and was later encouraged by her parents to apply to university.She was, however, forbidden to

 contact Wong or to go anywhere except for her piano-teaching job. Nevertheless, she and Wong spoke secretly during this period. By the time <mask> was 24, Wong had grown weary of trying to pursue a relationship with her, as <mask> was so daunted and restricted by her parents that she lived at home and only met him in secret. Wong broke off his relationship with <mask> and began to date another young woman. After learning of the new relationships, <mask> claimed to Wong that a man had entered her house, showing what appeared to be a police badge, after which several men had rushed in and gang-raped her. She claimed that after this, a bullet was mailed to her, and that both of these events were orchestrated by Wong's new girlfriend. Murder
In spring 2010, <mask> was in contact with Andrew Montemayor, a high school friend who, she claims, had boasted in their high school years about robbing people at knife point, an assertion denied by Montemayor.Montemayor introduced her to Ricardo Duncan, a "goth kid" whom <mask> claims she gave $1,500 to kill her father in the parking lot at his workplace. Duncan alleged that she once gave him $200 for a night out, but that he returned it, and that he rebuffed her when she asked him to kill her parents. <mask> and Wong were back in contact at this time and, according to the police, came up with a plan to hire a professional hitman for $10,000 to kill her parents, calculating that she would then inherit $500,000. They planned to move in together. Wong connected <mask> with a man, Lenford Roy Crawford, Jamaican-born, whom he called Homeboy, and gave her a SIM card and an iPhone so that she could contact Crawford without using her

Crawford lived in Brampton and Mylvaganam lived in Toronto, while Carty, who previously lived in Rexdale, Toronto, at the time did not have a fixed residence.The Crown (prosecution) stated that Mylvaganam was one of the hitmen. Carty was later convicted for an unrelated 2009 murder. The murder took place at the <mask> house in Unionville neighbourhood in Markham, Ontario. On November 8, 2010, <mask> unlocked the front door of the family home when she went to bed, then spoke by phone to Mylvaganam. Shortly afterwards, Mylvaganam and two other people entered the home through the unlocked front door, all carrying guns. In the court testimony, the Crown did not establish the identity of the other two hitmen; Wong and Crawford were at work. Carty stated that he was the driver for those who broke into the house, and that he selected them and was involved in plotting the attack.He did not state that he was one of the three or that he directly attacked others. The identity of the triggerperson remains unknown. After demanding all the money in the house and ransacking the main bedroom, the three men took Bich and Hann to the basement where they shot them multiple times. Bich was killed but Hann survived his wounds. The three men then took all the cash that was in the house including $2,000 from <mask> and left. <mask> claimed that they tied her up, but that she managed to free her hands and dial 9-1-1. Hann <mask> was treated at Markham Stouffville Hospital, before being moved to a trauma unit at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto, by

 aircraft.Investigation and arrests
The evening after the murder, <mask> underwent her first interview with the police. <mask> was arrested on November 22, 2010, during her third interview at the Markham police station (5 District) of York Regional Police. During that interview <mask> admitted that she had hired the killers, but claimed that she hired them to kill her and not her parents. The interrogating police officer, William "Bill" Goetz, falsely told <mask> that he had computer software that could analyze untruths in statements and that there were satellites that used infrared technology to analyze movements in buildings; in Canada, police are legally allowed to lie to those they are interrogating in regard to the evidence in the trial, as well as in regard to the strategies they are using. Goetz had used the Reid technique to obtain <mask>'s confession. Mylvaganam was arrested at the Jane Finch Mall in North York, Toronto, on April 14, 2011. Carty was arrested at the prison he was held in, Maplehurst Correctional Complex in Milton, Ontario, on April 15, 2011.Wong was arrested on April 26, 2011, at his place of employment. Crawford was the final suspect arrested, entering custody on May 4, 2011, in Brampton. Trial
The trial of <mask> and her accomplices began on March 19, 2014, in Newmarket and continued for ten months. All pleaded not guilty to the charges of first degree murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder. At the trial, York Regional Police evidence included exhaustive tracking of the mobile device movements and text message traffic, including over 100 messages sent between <mask> and Wong in the six hours prior to the killing.

 Further evidence centered around the atypical nature of the "break-in", "robbery", shootings, and irregularities in <mask>'s testimony. <mask>'s obsession with Wong, her lack of true emotion and a confession regarding the attack, and recognition of the trauma she underwent were also detailed.A major irregularity was that <mask> was not assaulted, blindfolded, taken to the basement, nor shot, leaving behind an eyewitness to the attack. Evidence from Hann, which differed greatly from <mask>'s version, also undermined her credibility. The trial included over 200 exhibits; over 50 witnesses testified at the trial. <mask>, Wong, Mylvaganam, and Crawford were all convicted on December 13, 2014, and each received a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. Originally, Carty was tried with the other perpetrators. Edward Sapiano, Carty's lawyer, fell ill, so around the summer of 2014, his case was declared a mistrial. In December 2015, Carty received an 18-year sentence after pleading guilty to conspiring to commit murder, with eligibility for parole after nine years.According to Carty, he did not wish to subject Hann <mask> to another criminal trial. Penalties and imprisonment
<mask> was sentenced to life with no chance of parole for 25 years for the murder of her mother, and attempted murder of her father. <mask>'s father and brother requested a court order that banned her from ever contacting members of her surviving family again. Despite the objections of the defence lawyers, the judge filed the order. <mask> is also banned from ever contacting Wong again. , <mask> was serving her sentence at the Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, Ontario.

Crawford was at Kent Institution in Agassiz, British Columbia. Carty, who requested to go to a federal prison in Western Canada or Atlantic Canada, was still at the provincial Millhaven Assessment Unit, awaiting his transfer to a federal prison. Carty, who later moved to Kent, died in his cell on April 26, 2018. Media reaction
According to the South China Morning Post, the case "sent shockwaves across Canada and the Asian diaspora." An editorial in the Northwest Asian Weekly suggested consideration of the "idea of recognizing the mental and psychological symptoms that parenting may have gone too far" in the Pan household. A story by Karen K. Ho in Toronto Life magazine brought the story to widespread attention by framing it an instance of tiger parenting gone tragically wrong.In 2016, journalist Jeremy Grimaldi published a true crime book about <mask> called A Daughter's Deadly Deception: The <mask> Story. The Casefile, My Favorite Murder and Crimes of Passion podcasts and the Deadly Women series also covered the case. Aftermath
Bich-<mask>'s funeral was held on November 15, 2010, and took place at the Ogden Chapel in Scarborough. A funeral for Bich Ha's father was held, according to <mask>, prior to Bich Ha's to satisfy a Chinese custom that asks for older members of the family to have their funerals first. <mask> had organized both funerals and had been asked to do so.

<mask> (June 6, 1923  – June 15, 2010) was an American nuclear physicist and author who was associated with the Manhattan Project. While working on the project, he was nearly killed in an accident at  the Philadelphia Naval Yard where a prototype thermal diffusion isotope separation device was being constructed. The priest of the Philadelphia Naval Yard offered last rites to <mask>, who refused, as he was Jewish. After World War II, he wrote numerous books on  nuclear issues. He is perhaps best known for his book The Griffin - the greatest untold espionage story of World War II, about Paul Rosbaud, who passed important scientific and military information from Germany to the Allies. <mask> was born on June 6, 1923, in Denver and received his undergraduate degree in 1945 from the University of Denver. He moved on to Harvard University, where he majored in physics and was awarded a master's degree in 1947.Manhattan Project
While still in college, <mask> was assigned to work on the Manhattan Project, working in the special engineering division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Los Alamos National Laboratory in Los Alamos, New Mexico and at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. While working on a test in Philadelphia on September 2, 1944, <mask> was critically injured in the explosion of uranium enrichment equipment. Two chemists were killed immediately and two soldiers received severe burns in the accident, which occurred while they were trying to unclog an enrichment device which exploded, releasing steam laced with uranium hexafluoride and hydrofluoric acid. <mask> would later call the blast "perhaps then the largest release in history of radioactive materials".

While recuperating from the severe burns from the incident at a Philadelphia naval hospital, his mother came to visit him by train from Denver, carrying with her a jar of chicken soup on the three-day trip, which she fed him upon her arrival at the hospital, which <mask> would credit for his unexpected recovery. Despite wartime censorship of any details of the incident and secret classification after the war ended, <mask> lobbied the government to memorialize the victims of the accident.Post-war activities
After World War II, <mask> worked for the Atomic Energy Commission as a liaison to the Central Intelligence Agency providing intelligence estimates on Soviet nuclear capabilities and worked with Edward Teller on the design and development of the Hydrogen bomb. Physicist Samuel Cohen credited <mask> with being one of the first to obtain accurate information about Soviet efforts and making his best efforts to pass on that knowledge to senior officials. He assisted in the interrogation of David Greenglass, who was one of the atomic spies for the Soviet Union together with Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. He was later employed as a nuclear weapons research strategist by the RAND Corporation. During the 1970s, <mask> was an adviser to the United States Department of State in Paris, and during the 1980s he served as the chair of a study for the Reagan administration that recommended pursuing the development of the Strategic Defense Initiative as a means to protect the United States from attack by strategic nuclear ballistic missiles. He was also an advisor to UNESCO and the

Though he was frequently contacted as a source for history about the Manhattan Project and the history of the nuclear arms race, Robert Norris of the Natural Resources Defense Council regretted that he was not "more forthcoming and generous in sharing what he knew".

A resident of Reston, Virginia, <mask> died at age 87 on June 15, 2010, at George Washington University Hospital due to normal pressure hydrocephalus. He was survived by his wife, Vivian Raker, a daughter, a son, a sister, and four grandchildren. References

In May 2019, his efforts finally bore fruit as several families who lived in poorly built homes were issued with allotment letters and given flats in different areas.Condemnation on 2020 Hathras Gang Rape and Murder
<mask> <mask> was one of the few politicians to raise their voice against the gang rape and murder incident that took place in Hathras district in Uttar Pradesh. In an interview, Rais criticized the ruling government of Uttar Pradesh sharply and stated that the cover-up that happened post the incident was a glaring example of the incompetence of the government. He further said that people who do not believe in democratic principles have no right to rule over this country. Work During The Covid-19 Crisis
During the Covid-19, <mask> <mask> was one those MLAs who showed extreme vigilance and went beyond their line of duty to ensure that relief was provided to the needy and safety concerns of the general public were duly addressed. Bhiwandi was one of the first suburbs to be sealed. Healthcare
In Bhiwandi, there was just one government hospital with four ventilators. Because of the initiative taken by Rais, the hospital got some of its facilities upgraded.Currently, the hospital has 11 ventilators and a central gas pipeline. Rais’ efforts also resulted in getting a dispensary built inside a mosque in Bhiwandi. The doubling ratio improved and the death rate slowed down gradually. On one particular occasion, Rais visited the government hospital and realized some of the doctors were scared about working inside the hospital and were going away on leave.

 them feel assured about their safety, Rais went inside the ICU wearing a PPE kit. After this, the doctors and the staff resumed their duties and work went on smoothly inside the hospital. Burial Controversy During Covid-19
On March 30, 2020, Municipal Commissioner Praveen Pardeshi stated that people who die of Coronavirus should be cremated and not buried, irrespective of their religion.Asif Zakaria, corporator from Bandra, informed Rais about this advisory. There was a vague line in the advisory which states that those who want to bury their relatives or family members should go out of Mumbai. Rais took a stand against this and said it was unreasonable and highly discriminatory against one religion. According to the Commissioner, this happened because kabristans are very crowded. Rais reasoned out that not all cemeteries are crowded. He met a lot of politicians and expressed his concern over this advisory with them. The circular was amended and the revised version which was published stated that dead bodies can be buried in crematoriums considering that it is not situated in a very densely populated area.One-rupee Clinic
Rais introduced the concept of a one-rupee clinic in Bhiwandi and also initiated a door to door campaign right from the early days of the pandemic hitting the country. Under this campaign, the oxygen level of every individual was examined. All the other necessary tests to check the symptoms of Covid-19 were done. After doing these tests, one could see the result in 15 minutes. References

Known for her high-energy performances and salsa dancing skills, she combines old-school salsa moves with contemporary styles of dancing and singing. She is also credited with establishing the first successful salsa orchestra in the Southern United States, Orquesta Caliente. Early life

Her parents, Ilsa Milagros Sánchez Rodríguez and <mask>, divorced when she was one year old. Her father married Evangeline Garland five years after the divorce, and they had two daughters, Gretchen Evangeline Almodóvar Garland and <mask>.Almodóvar's father was a bolero singer and, along with his brothers, had a small group called Boleros y Algo Mas. They traveled around Puerto Rico playing music inspired by José José, Marco Antonio Muñiz, Raúl di Blasio, and Camilo Sesto; Almodóvar was named after one of Sesto's hit songs, "Melina". Her mother was a Flamenco dancer who later worked in medicine. Her maternal grandmother, Elia, was a sculptor, painter, and poet who fueled Almodóvar's artistic interests, taking her to plays and concerts from an early age. After <mask>'s father died in 1989, her mother married a man from Memphis, Tennessee, and moved the family there. Almodóvar has described her introduction to the United States as a "culture shock" and said that it was hard for her to make friends. She turned to music for solace, and the move became a frequent subject of her

 songs.Soon after, she received a cassette of songs by Rubén Blades and Celia Cruz as a Christmas gift from her grandmother and discovered that she had a natural ability for tropical music, salsa, and merengue. She also started listening to Memphis musicians such as Al Green, Otis Redding, and The Staple Singers, and she befriended record producer Willie Mitchell's grandchildren, who attended Houston High School with her in Germantown, Tennessee. <mask> was accepted to Berklee College of Music but did not attend. She worked for a short time as a translator and assistant for the Memphis City Council as she briefly considered a career in politics. Later, she studied music performance at the University of Memphis. Career beginnings
At sixteen, <mask> started performing around Memphis with bands from various genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and gospel. She was soon approached by a group of music professors from the University of Memphis to start a salsa band.She agreed and was given a repertoire of salsa classics. The band, Orquesta Caliente, traveled across the South to play at events like the King Biscuit Blues Festival and the Beale Street Music Festival. It was the first Latin band to play on Beale Street, and was nominated for Best New Band and Best New Artist at the 1999 Grammy Awards. <mask> began traveling to Nashville on the weekends to perform and write songs with other musicians. However, she soon decided to focus on salsa music and moved back to Puerto Rico. She traveled all over the island, listening to music, experimenting with sounds, and learning how to sing and dance salsa. "La Chica de San Juan" became the title track of her 2003 album Rumba's SalsaSoul

 Delight.The album reflected a mixture of tropical and soul rhythms, and employed a Spanglish style of language that emerged with the influx of Latinos to the United States. <mask> returned to the United States to promote it. Upon her return, Ramses Arraya—the percussionist for the Costa Rican band Editus, which backed Rubén Blades on his two Grammy-nominated records asked her to perform on a record he was producing, "Corazón en Clave" (Heart in Clave). She traveled to Miami, Florida, to record the song "Yo Soy la Rumba" (I Am the Rumba), and soon relocated there permanently. "I am Puerto Rican, and Puerto Rico lives in me, in everything I do," <mask> said. "Memphis is also a part of me, and it makes me the artist I am, but Miami is where it all comes together for me. The mixture of all the beautiful peoples of our Latin American countries, it fuels my soul."Move To Miami
In Miami, Almodóvar became a sought-after performer, opening for artists like Tommy Olivencia and La Sonora Ponceña. She also performed with Larry Harlow.

<mask> (17 March 1827 – 2 May 1882); born <mask>, and later <mask> and <mask>, was keeping an inn in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire in 1851 with her husband, William, when she was convicted of inciting a burglary and sentenced to be transported to Tasmania for ten years. In Tasmania, she married John Foster, a wealthy businessman, magistrate and member of the Tasmanian Legislative Council. After his death, she took their five surviving children to be educated in England, and was thus one of the few Australian convicts to return to her native land. Early life
Dinham was born in the Gloucestershire town of Wotton-under-Edge on 17 March 1827. Her father, James Orchard, is described in the 1851 census as a "Dealer in Marine Stores", a term applied to traders in second-hand goods and "rag and bone men". Her mother, Elizabeth, died in 1839, when Dinham was about 12 years old and her father remarried before the end of that year. The 1841 census shows Dinham and two younger siblings living with their father and stepmother in Church Street, Wotton-under-Edge.It is not known when she left Wotton, or where she met her first husband, William Cozens <mask>, who had been born in Bath, Somerset in 1825, but they married in Newport, Monmouthshire in 1847. Their marriage certificate describes him as a "timekeeper" but he was, in fact, a warder at Usk Prison. By April 1851, the family were living at 53 Monk Street, Abergavenny and keeping an inn. The census of that year shows that they had two children: a son, also William, born in 1848 and a daughter, Eliza, born in February 1851:-

texts: Monmouth Assizes on 8 August 1851 and convicted of inciting a burglary. Her trial was reported both in a local newspaper, the Monmouthshire Beacon, and nationally in The Times. The latter commented that "This case was remarkable for the train of circumstantial evidence by which the guilt of the woman was established." She was tried together with Francis Davies, who was one of the two men accused of committing the burglary.The other was Henry Clarke, who had already previously been convicted of the crime and sentenced to transportation, and who gave evidence for the prosecution in this trial. At the time of the burglary, in January 1851, <mask> and her husband were keeping an inn in Abergavenny. The house that was burgled was in Usk, which is about 11 miles from Abergavenny, but the police suspected that the culprits had come from Abergavenny because some of the stolen items were found along the road between the two towns. Continuing their investigations, the police visited the Dinhams' public house and spotted other items that they suspected had been taken from the house in Usk. Dinham was arrested and the police discovered that she had been to the house in Usk as a dressmaker and had made clothes for the two women who lived there. They also arrested the two men who had carried out the burglary; one of whom said that Dinham had provided them with information about their target. William evaded the police and escaped to the United States where he eventually settled in Iowa and became a farmer.The jury found Dinham guilty but recommended that the judge should show her mercy because they believed that she had

 been coerced by her husband. Mr Justice Erle agreed to consider the jury's recommendation and to defer sentence until the following morning in order to make enquiries about the extent of her husband's influence. The next day, he announced that he had made inquiries as to how far she had been influenced by her husband and that he did not know a more remarkable degree of guilt than that of hers. He then sentenced her to ten years exile to Tasmania. It is not known who or what was consulted by Mr Justice Erle before he reached his conclusion. As was normal at that time, no consideration appears to have been given to the fact that Dinham was the mother of two young children. Francis Davies, who the judge said had led a long career of the most flagrant crime, was sentenced to 20 years for the burglary.Transportation to Australia

Dinham was held in custody from the time of her trial in August 1851 until the following March, when she sailed for Tasmania aboard the convict transport Sir Robert Seppings, which left Woolwich on 17 March 1852, carrying 220 female convicts. After a voyage of 112 days, the ship arrived in Hobart, Tasmania on 8 July 1852. <mask>'s daughter, Eliza, accompanied her mother on the voyage but died at sea. In his Day Book, the Royal Navy surgeon, L S Cunningham recorded: "Eliza Denham, aged 13 months, Prisoner's Child; disease or hurt, diarrhoea. Put on sick list, 1 May 1852, at sea. Died 3 May 1852. Had been suffering from disorder of the bowels for several days and had been neglected and was very much reduced".Dinham's son, William, remained in England and was brought up by her elder

 sister, Elizabeth, and husband. Arrival in Hobart and second marriage

On arrival, Dinham was registered in the convict records with the following description:-
<mask>, 4' 11", 23, black hair, grey eyes, milliner and dressmaker, Convicted Monmouth Assizes 8 August 1851, 10 years, for inciting a person to commit a burglary, Native place - Gloucestershire, Married - 2 children, Church of England, read and write, Husband William in America, Father - James. The record also states that she had been "Five years on the town", a euphemism for having been a prostitute. It is difficult to see how this can have possibly been true given what is known now about Dinham's life in England, so is perhaps evidence of the general prejudice against female convicts that Robert Hughes described in The Fatal Shore. This allegation was still part of local gossip in Tasmania many years later. Within a few days, Dinham was assigned to work for a Mr. Williams at the Macquarie Hotel, in Hobart. The following year, she was given permission to marry (despite the fact that her convict record stated that her husband was still alive), and married Charles Riddiford, a convict who had received a conditional pardon and was also a native of Wotton-under-Edge, on 4 October 1853.Their daughter, <mask> Riddiford, was born the following May, but Riddiford died two years later on 3 July 1856. Marriage to John Foster

Now a widow, Dinham began a relationship with John Foster, a wealthy businessman who had come to Tasmania in 1823 as a free settler. Foster was 35 years older than Dinham. Together they had six children and married in April 1863.

 In December 1859 he sponsored the passage of <mask>'s sister, Maria, and her husband, William Thornbury, as free settlers in Tasmania. Foster's business interests included extensive land holdings both in Tasmania and on the Australian mainland, the ownership of several ships, and directorships in several Tasmanian companies, in banking, insurance, transport, coal and gas. He was a magistrate and member of the Tasmanian Legislative Council between 1868 and 1874.The fact that Dinham had been a convict was not advertised publicly nor, it seems, passed on to her children. At the time of her marriage to Foster, she was described as the widow of Charles Riddiford and that her maiden name was Orchard; there was no mention of her first married name, Dinham. Various stories circulated in Hobart but Dinham's descendants did not learn about their convict ancestry until late in the 20th century. Return to England and death

Foster died in 1875 and his will made provision for Dinham to return to England for the education of their children. Dinham set up home in Brighton. When her daughter <mask> Riddiford married in Brighton in December 1876, she was described not as her father's daughter but as John Foster's step-daughter. The family had a very comfortable existence, with the children attending boarding schools and holidays that included spending a month in Paris.In the 1881 census <mask>, together with three of her children and two servants, was recorded as living at 3 Chesham Place, Brighton, as follows:-
