texts: third wives. He married a third time to a woman named Grace Hughes. The older missionaries died and were replaced by less experienced men as the Missionary Society's numbers grew. One of the new missionaries demanded a separate house, stable and servants, because they were not willing to live in the communal fashion that had developed. The new missionaries didn't like the work ethic of <mask>, Ward, and Marshman so they assigned them work they didn't like. The secretary of the Society in England died in 1816 and his successor was a bureaucrat who tried to reorganize the Society along business lines. Their differences proved to be irreconcilable, and <mask> severed ties with the missionary society he had founded, leaving the mission property and moving onto the college grounds.He lived a quiet life until his death in 1834. The Baptist hall of the University of Oxford houses the couch where he died. <mask>'s activities in India are known from missionary reports sent back home. Historians such as Comaroffs, Thorne, Van der Veer and Brian Pennington note that the representation of India in these reports must be examined in their context and with care for its evangelical and colonial ideology. The reports were conditioned by <mask>'s background, personal factors and religious beliefs. <mask> and <mask> were in a community suffering from extreme poverty and epidemics, and they constructed a view of the culture of India and Hinduism based on their missionary goals. The reports were by those who had declared their conviction in foreign work, and the letters describe the experiences of foreigners who were resented by both the Indian populace as well as European officials and competing Christian groups.Their accounts of culture and Hinduism were forged in Bengal, which was physically, politically and spiritually difficult to preach in. <mask> recommended that his fellow Anglo-Indians learn and interpret Sanskrit in a way compatible with colonial aims in order to gain the ear of those who are deceived. Knowledge of Sanskrit is valuable. <mask> lacked understanding and respect for Indian culture, with him describing Indian music as "disgusting" and bringing to mind practices "dishonorable" to God. <mask> and his colleagues' literature was affected by such attitudes. Biographies of <mask> were written by F. D. Walker and J. In the early years of their ministry in India, <mask>'s mental illness and subsequent breakdown were caused by his distress caused by the mental illness.Beck's biography shows that <mask> uprooted his family from all that was familiar and sought to settle them in one of the most unlikely and difficult cultures in the world for an uneducated British woman. She failed to make the adjustment emotionally and mentally, and her husband was unable to help her because he did not know what to do about it. <mask> wrote to his sisters in England that he was in danger of dying. Her mind is haunted by jealousy. At the same time <mask> was baptizing his first Indian convert and his wife was forcefully confined to her room, his wife's mental breakdown led to other family problems. <mask> neglected his four boys when he first met them. They were uneducated and undisciplined.Iain Murray's study, The Puritan Hope, is the only one that focuses on <mask>'s postmillennial eschatology as expressed in his major missionary manifesto. <mask> was 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 800-273-3217 Large areas of his theology are ignored in the two dissertations which discuss his achievements. His eschatological views played a major role in his missionary zeal. One exception, found in James Beck's biography of his first wife, mentions his personal optimism in the chapter on "Attitudes Towards the Future," but not his optimistic perspective on world missions, which he derived from postmillennial theology. Carey devoted a lot of time and effort to the study of many other Indian languages, including the ancient root language of Sanskrit. Carey collaborated with the College of Fort William to translate the Hindu classics into English.The Bible was translated into a number of dialects and languages. <mask> was the professor of Bengali, Sanskrit and Marathi at the college for 30 years and published the first book on the subject in 1805. <mask>'s Serampore Mission Press is credited with being the only press that thought it important enough that costly fonts of type be cast for the irregular and neglected languages of the Indian people. <mask> and his team produced textbooks, dictionaries, classical literature and other publications which served primary school children, college-level students and the general public, including the first systematic Sanskrit grammar which served a model for later publications. In India in the late 1700s and early 1800s, only children of certain social groups received education, and even that was limited to basic accounting and Hindu religion. Only the Brahmins and writer castes could read. Children learn to read using the Bible in Sunday Schools started by <mask>.<mask> opened the first primary school in India at his own expense.

title: Joaquin Murrieta

texts: The Robin Hood of the West, also known as the Robin Hood of El Dorado, was a figure of disputed historicity. John Rollin Ridge wrote a novel about Joaqun Murieta. The existence of a notorious outlaw in California during the California Gold Rush of the 1850s is not known. There was testimony about a minor horse thief in 1852. The bandidos were reported to have robbed and killed several people. A California Ranger named Harry Love was assigned to track down <mask> and was said to have brought his head in for the bounty. The legend says that he was a gold miner and a vaquero from Sonora.He was driven to revenge after his brother was wrongly accused of stealing a mule. His brother was killed by a horse. His wife was raped and died in his arms. He hunted down the men who had violated her. He started a violent career to kill his tormentors. The state of California offered a reward for dead or alive. The news of his death was disputed.There were myths about his survival. Controversy surrounds the figure of the man, who he was, what he did, and many of his life's events. Susan Lee Johnson says that it is difficult to disentangle the fabulous from the factual. There seems to be a consensus that Anglos drove him from a rich mining claim, that his wife was raped, and that his half-brother was lynched. He may have worked as a monte dealer for a while, then, according to whichever version one accepts, he became either a horse trader or bandit. Major Ridge's grandson, John Rollin Ridge, wrote a dime novel. He had a fictional account that was translated into various European languages.A portion of Ridge's novel was published in 1858. The story was translated into French. The Spanish version of the French version changed every reference to "Mexican" and "Chilean". Ridge's 1854 novel about <mask> is said to have been the basis for the character Don Diego de la Vega, better known as "Zorro" in the 1919 novel of that name. Early life and education are the main sources of biographical information. 69 No. In the northwestern state of Sonora, Mexico.Frank Forrest Latta wrote Joaqun <mask> and His Horse Gangs in 1980. He said that <mask> was from the Rancho Tapizuelas, across the Cuchujaqui River. This was north of Casanate, in the southeast of Sonora and near the Sinaloa border, which is now the lamos Municipality of Sonora. There is a school in El Salado. The 1849 migration to California was to seek fortune in the California Gold Rush. He was urged to come by his older brother, who had written him about the discovery of gold. <mask>a cousins, a brother-in-law, and a brother-in-law's younger brother. The rough mining camps had prejudice and hostility towards the five Joaquins Gang Murrieta. He and his wife were attacked by American miners who were jealous of his success. They raped his wife. John Rollin Ridge's dime novel, The Life and Adventures of Joaqun Murieta, was the only source for this account. According to historian Latta, <mask> formed a gang with well-organized bands, one led by himself and the rest by one or two of his trusted Sonoran relatives. Latta documented that the core of these men had gathered to help kill at least six of the Americans who had lynched his stepbrother Jesus Carrillo and whipped him on the false charge of the theft of a mule.The gang used stolen horses and legally captured mustangs to engage in illegal horse trade with Mexico. They drove herds of stolen horses from as far north asContra Costa County, the gold camps of the Sierras, and the Central Valley, then south to Sonora for sale. In the past, the bands robbed and killed miners returning from the California goldfields. Up to 28 Chinese and 13 Anglo-Americans are believed to have been killed by the gang. The figure is based on the accounts of their raids. In May 1854, the California state legislature passed a bill that listed <mask> as one of the so-called "Five Joaquins", suspected criminals. The legislature authorized hiring for three months a company of 20 California Rangers, veterans of the Mexican War, to hunt down the five Joaquins.The "California State Rangers" will be led by Captain Harry Love, a former Texas Ranger and Mexican War veteran. The California Rangers were paid $150 a month and promised a $1,000 governor's reward if they captured the wanted men. A group of rangers encountered a group of Mexican men on the edge of the Diablo Range. Three Mexicans were killed in the confrontation. One of the dead was referred to as Three-Fingered Jack by the rangers, as he was one of his most notorious associates. Two people were captured. There is a plaque near Coalinga at the intersection of State Routes 33 and 198 to mark the location of the incident.The hand of Three-Fingered Jack was cut off by the Rangers as proof of the outlaws' deaths. They kept them in a jar of alcohol so they could claim their reward. The jar of remains was displayed in several places. Spectators were able to see the relics for $1. The $1,000 reward money was given to Love and his rangers. An anonymous Los Angeles-based man wrote to the San Francisco Alta California Daily that Love and his rangers had murdered some innocent Mexican mustang catchers, and bribed people to swear out affidavits as to their identities. The California newspapers carried letters from a few men claiming to be Capt.Love did not display <mask>'s head at the mining camps. On May 28, 1854, the California State Legislature voted to reward the Rangers with another $5,000 for their victory. There were myths about Murrieta after 25 years. O. P. Stidger heard that <mask>'s sister said the head was not her brother's. There were many reports of a middle-aged man in Murrieta. These were never confirmed. His head was destroyed during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.Procopio was one of California's most notorious bandits of the 1860s and 1870s. He wanted to surpass his uncle's reputation. The lead character in the five-part serial story, "The Curse of Capistrano", is believed to have been inspired by the Real Zorro Murrieta. For some political activists of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Murrieta has symbolized Mexican resistance against Anglo-American economic and cultural domination in California, as Spanish colonists, Native Americans, mixtos, and independent Mexicans were there first. According to the "Association of Descendants of Joaquin Murrieta", he was not a "gringo eater", but he wanted to retrieve the part of Mexico that was lost during the Mexican-American War.

title: Dave Lee (DJ)

texts: In July 2020 <mask> retired as a DJ and house music producer after the George Floyd protests. He has released music under a number of different names, including Jakatta, Doug Willis, Raven Maize, Sessomatto as well as being part of The Sunburst Band. <mask> has scored a number of top 40 hits under the name Jakatta. <mask> was born on the Isle of Wight but raised in Essex. His mother is a novelist. <mask>'s interest in dance music began in the late 1970s. He got his first job in 1986 at the Smithers & Leigh store.He moved to Rough Trade, who were setting up a dance division called Demix, and were looking for someone to run it. Within a few days, Demix was handling hits for Bomb the Bass, MARRS and Beatmasters. <mask> and Rough Trade set up his own label, Republic Records, less than a year later, which became known for the series of compilation albums, The Garage Sound of Deepest New York, as well as <mask>'s own early efforts into studio production. At the end of 1987, <mask> began working in a studio with a former schoolfriend and another Smithers & Leigh employee. M-D-Emm: "Get Busy (It's Partytime!)" was the first release on Republic. Republic has released two more M-D-Emm singles. The acid house songs "1666" and "Get Acidic" were recorded by Mike and <mask> without Mark.In 1989, <mask>, Mike Cheal and Mark Ryder broke through the underground with a club hit under the assumed name Raven Maize, which used disco samples, something <mask> has returned to repeatedly over the course of his career. According to a press release, Maize was an ex-convict in a Disneyland steel pan band and was the lead singer of the band. <mask>'s most enduring pseudonym made its debut in 1990 when he released Joey Negro's first single, with his new name a homage to Pal Joey and J. Walter Negro. <mask> went completely solo after the single's success, allowing him to explore his own musical direction. When the single "Do It, Believe It" was released in the UK, it was also the debut release on his own self-financed label Z Records, which remains his primary outlet. <mask> met Andrew 'Doc' Livingstone when he sent in a demo to Republic Records. The pair decamped to Unit 3 Studios.In 1991, Rough Trade Records went out of business. As his work grew, the slack was taken up by large amounts of studio commission. <mask> was approached by Take That's label in 1993 to work together. Although the Dan Hartman song "Relight My Fire" had never been a hit in the UK, it had become a popular club track in the house music scene, so at <mask>'s suggestion they covered it. The boy band's first number one was in the UK. The Joey Negro album Universe of Love was released in the same year. Much of the work he went on to do with the Sunburst Band was prefigured by the title track.<mask>'s remixes for Diana Ross, M People and Pet Shop Boys continued to rise throughout the '90s, as well as his other aliases (Z Factor, Doug Willis, Akabu, Sessomatto and Agora). <mask> and Taka Boom collaborated on two songs, "Can't Get High Without U" and "Surrender". One of the band's most successful songs is "Garden of Love", which was included in the debut of the Sunburst Band. The first album, Here Comes the Sunburst Band, was recorded by many of the session musicians <mask> worked with over the years. It was a conscious departure from electronic music and, as <mask> admitted in an interview, it was his commercial successes elsewhere that provided the finances to make such a move. The follow-up, 2005's Until the End of Time, introduced two new vocal collaborators, disco stylist Linda Clifford and former Chic frontwoman Norma Jean Wright, as well as Taka Boom, and received critical praise. The third album, Moving with the Shakers, brought in two more members of <mask>'s band.The Secret Life of Us was the most recent album. Since the collapse of Republic Records, most of <mask>'s work has been done on his own Z Records imprint. By the end of the 1990s, Z had released around 40 singles, the majority coming from <mask>'s own studio; but over the past decade, the label has featured more outside producers and remixers. Z Records has passed 200 releases. Akabu, <mask>'s deep house project, won praise from industry veterans such as Carl Craig when it was released in 2010. Ibiza Uncovered used a portion of Z Factor's "Gotta Keep Pushin'" as its theme in 1999 and it was <mask>'s first brush with the top 40. <mask> re-released the song as "Must Be the Music", with Taka Boom on vocals.The song peaked at 8. The duo had a hit in 2006 with "Make a Move on Me". In 2000, <mask> scored an unlikely hit with an underground smash called "American Booty", sampling two Thomas Newman pieces from the soundtrack for the film American Beauty. The biggest hit of <mask>'s career was "American Dream", which was reworked with added vocals from Swati Nektar using the Jakatta alias. It was followed by two more top ten hits for Jakatta with "So Lonely" and the Seal collaboration "My Vision". The album climbed to number 12 in the charts. One of the Ibiza hits of the summer was resurrected by <mask> in 2002.<mask>'s record reached number 12 in the UK, and was inspired by the Corporation of One original. <mask> is working on a music project.

title: Siegfried Engelmann

texts: The approach to instruction called "Direct Instruction" was co-developed by an American educationalist. He was the Director of the National Institute for Direct Instruction at the University of Oregon. He wrote more than 100 curricula using DI principles. On November 26, 1931, he was born in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating with honors in philosophy from the University of Illinois in 1955, he spent time in a variety of occupations, from working in exploratory oil drilling to being a science editor. While working as a marketing director, Engelmann became interested in how children learn. The interest began with examining how much exposure was required for a young child to learn a motto or an advertising theme and what effects reinforcing presentations would have on learning rates.He began working with preschoolers, including his own children, on topics related to advertising and more academic content. He left his job in advertising to become a research associate at the Institute for Research on Children with Special Needs at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, working with Carl Bereiter. He became a Professor in the College of Education at the University of Oregon in 1970. In addition to developing curriculum, <mask> wrote 19 books as well as scholarly articles and other reports of his experiments on teaching and learning. The theory of instruction was summarized in a book by Douglas Carnine. They looked at three components of cognitive learning. Two attributes are involved in the mechanism by which humans learn.They said that individuals can learn any quality, defined as an irreducible feature, from examples. People are limited by their senses. The idea of generalizing from examples is one of the attributes. There are rules or understandings that can be developed about common qualities to a set of examples. Learners begin to formulate rules when presented with information. This is done by looking at what is equivalent to what is given. After determining what is the same about the examples, generalization occurs.The Bereiter-Engelmann Preschool at the University of Illinois had a grant that Bereiter used to accelerate the development of young children. The Bereiter-Engelmann Preschool was opened in the summer of 1964 as a program for "culturally disadvantaged" preschoolers. Their goal was to show the extent to which disadvantaged children could accelerate their learning in order to have a better chance of success in school. Other teachers were trained to work with the children. The exact wording for teachers to use, sequence the learning in the most effective manner, and provide guidelines for checking children's responses were all developed by Engelmann. The teachers were able to focus on interacting with the children. The principles that were discovered in the Bereiter-Engelmann Preschool were used to create more than 100 programs.The first programs were designed to teach reading, math, and language to children in kindergarten through second grade. Project Follow Through, the largest educational experiment in the history of the United States, used the DISTAR materials in some locations. Follow Through was sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education. Primary school children in communities with high levels of poverty were targeted by the project. The highest gains were shown by the DISTAR materials. The original DISTAR programs were expanded to include six levels. Reading mastery and connecting math concepts are what these programs are called.There is a multilevel reading program for students beyond the primary level, as well as programs to teach writing and spelling, and a videodisc series to teach math. The programs that were written for parents to use with their children were Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons and Give your Child a Superior Mind. There are computer-based programs for parents and others to teach young children reading and math skills, as well as programs to teach English speaking skills to non-native English speakers at third grade or older. "The Pet Goat" is a reading exercise from the 1995 children's book Reading Mastery II: Storybook 1 by Engelmann and fellow DISTAR instructional designer Elaine C. Bruner. The story gained attention on September 11, 2001 when George W. Bush read it at the Emma E. Booker School. In 1984 the Psychology Department of Western Michigan University awarded a doctorate to Engelmann. The American Psychological Association gave him the Fred S. Keller Award in 1994.He was awarded the 2002 Award of Achievement in Education Research by the Council of Scientific Society Presidents after being named one of the 54 most influential people in the history of special education.

While establishing himself as Barcelona's all-time top scorer, he set La Liga and European records for most goals scored in a single season. <mask> finished second for the Ballon d'Or in the following two seasons, before regaining his best form and leading Barcelona to a historic second treble. <mask> won a record sixth Ballon d'Or in 2019.

His style of play was similar to that of Diego Maradona, who described <mask> as his successor. After his senior debut in August 2005, <mask> became the youngest Argentine to play and score in a World Cup, and reached the final of the 2007, where he was named young player of the tournament. He led Argentina to three finals in a row, winning the Golden Ball in both the 2015 and 2016 editions. After announcing his international retirement in 2016 he led his country to qualification for the World Cup, a third-place finish at the Copa América, and won the Golden Ball and Golden Boot award for the latter. He would receive a record seventh Ballon d'Or in 2021. Since 2006 <mask> has endorsed Adidas.According to France Football, he was the world's highest-paid footballer for five years out of six between 2009 and 2014, and was ranked the world's highest-paid athlete by Forbes in 2019. Time named <mask> one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2011. He was the first footballer and the first team sport athlete to win the award. <mask> became the second footballer to surpass $1 billion in career earnings. <mask> was born on June 24, 1987 in Santa Fe, the third of four children of a steel factory manager and his wife. On his father's side, he is of Italian and Spanish descent, the great-grandson of immigrants from the northcentral Adriatic Marche region of Italy and Catalonia, and on his mother's side, he has mostly Italian ancestry. Growing up in a tight-knit, football-loving family, "Leo" developed a passion for the sport from an early age, playing with his older brothers, Rodrigo and Matas, and his cousins, Maximiliano and Emanuel Biancucchi, both of whom became professional footballers.His earliest influence as a player came from his maternal grandmother, who accompanied him to training and matches, as he joined local club Grandoli at the age of four. Shortly before his eleventh birthday, he was greatly affected by her death, and since then he has celebrated his goals by looking up and pointing to the sky. <mask> joined the club when he was six years old. He scored over 500 goals as a member of "The Machine of '87", the youth side named for the year of their birth, and entertained crowds by performing ball tricks during half-time. His future as a professional player was in jeopardy when he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency at the age of 10. As his father's health insurance covered only two years of growth hormone treatment, which cost at least $1,000 per month, Newell's agreed to contribute, but later reneged on their promise. River Plate was unable to pay for his treatment due to Argentina's economic collapse.<mask> called him the "best forward I've ever seen" when he was a kid. The <mask> family wanted to have a trial with Barcelona in 2000. It was unusual for European clubs to sign foreign players of such a young age, and the board of directors hesitated when Charly Rexach wanted to sign him. On 14 December, an ultimatum was issued for Barcelona to prove their commitment, and Rexach offered a contract on a paper napkin. The family moved to Barcelona in February 2001 and lived in an apartment near the club's stadium. During his first year in Spain, <mask> rarely played with the Infantiles due to a transfer conflict with Newell's; as a foreigner, he could only be included in the Catalan league. He was so quiet that his teammates thought he was silent, even though he was already reserved by nature.After his mother moved back to Rosario with his brothers and sister, he suffered from homesickness. After a year at Barcelona's youth academy, <mask>c Fbregas and Gerard Piqué. <mask> was part of the "Baby Dream Team", Barcelona's greatest-ever youth side, after completing his growth hormone treatment. He was the top scorer with 36 goals in 30 games for the Cadetes A, who won the Spanish and Catalan cups. The partido de la mscara, the final of the mask, was the result of the 5–1 victory over Espanyol. A week after breaking his cheekbone in a league match, <mask> was allowed to start the game on the condition that he wear a plastic protection, but he was hindered by the mask and scored two goals in 10 minutes before his substitution.At the end of the season, he received an offer from a foreign club, but he chose to stay in Barcelona. <mask> made his debut for five youth teams in a single campaign during the 2003– 2004 season, his fourth with Barcelona. After being named player of the tournament in four international pre-season competitions, he played only one official match with the team before being promoted to the Juveniles A, where he scored 18 goals in 11 league games. Several youth players were called up to strengthen the first team during the international break. He destroyed us all when he caught the eye in a training session with Frank Rijkaard's first team. They kicked him all over the place so that he wouldn't be ridiculed by this kid. He scored a goal by dribbling past four players.The starting centre-backs were nervous. He was an alien. At 16 years, four months, and 23 days old, <mask> made his first team debut when he came on in the 75th minute during a friendly against Porto. His performance, creating two chances and a shot on goal, impressed the technical staff, and he subsequently began training daily with the club's reserve side, Barcelona B, as well as weekly with the first team. Ronaldinho told his teammates that the 16-year-old would become an even better player than himself, after his first training session with the senior squad. Ronaldinho befriended <mask>, whom he called "little brother", which helped him get into the first team. <mask> played his first game for the third team on November 29th in order to gain further match experience.He scored five goals in ten games in order to save them from the bottom of the Tercera Divisin. His first professional contract, signed on 4 February 2004, lasted until 2012 and contained an initial buyout clause of 30 million. He made his debut for Barcelona B on 6 March, and his buyout clause went up to 80 million. He did not score in five games with the B team. In order to be able to shake off defenders, he worked on increasing his muscle mass and strength in order to be stronger than his opponents, who were often older and taller. He helped the Juveniles B win the league at the end of the season. He scored for four of his five teams and had a total of 36 goals.During the 2004–05 season, <mask> was a starter for the B team, playing 17 games and scoring six times. In October 2004, senior players asked manager Frank Rijkaard to promote him after he had not been called up to the first team again. Since Ronaldinho already played on the left wing, Rijkaard moved <mask> from his usual position onto the right flank, allowing him to cut into the centre of the pitch and shoot with his dominant left foot. On 16 October, <mask> made his league debut against Espanyol, coming on in the 82nd minute. At 17 years, three months, and 22 days old, he was the youngest player to represent Barcelona in an official competition. He was a substitute in nine of the first team's games that season, including his debut against Shakhtar. He became the youngest-ever scorer for the club when he scored his first senior goal on 1 May 2005, against Albacete.Barcelona won the league for the first time in six years. <mask> signed his first contract as a senior team player on his 18th birthday. He was a Barcelona player until 2010, two years less than his previous contract, but his buyout clause increased to  150 million. His breakthrough came two months later during Barcelona's pre-season competition. He was a starter for the first time and received an applause from the Camp Nou. Inter Milan was willing to triple <mask>'s wages in order to buy him from Capello. It was the only time the club faced a real risk of losing <mask>, according to Joan Laporta.His contract was updated for the second time in three months on 16 September. <mask> missed the start of the season due to legal issues, but on September 26th, he became eligible to play after obtaining Spanish citizenship. He gradually established himself as the first choice right wing and formed an attacking trio with Ronaldinho and Samuel Eto'o. He was in the starting line-up for the first time in his career when he was in the starting line-up for the first time against Real Madrid. After scoring 8 goals in 25 games, including his first in the European Championship, in a 5–0 win over Panathinaikos on 2 November 2005, his season ended due to a torn hamstring. On the day of the final, <mask> was not fit enough to play. He regretted not celebrating his team's victory in Paris because he was so disappointed.During the 2006–07 campaign, the 19-year-old <mask> established himself as one of the best players in the world. He scored 17 goals in 36 games for the club. A broken toe kept him out of action for three months. Barcelona were out of the competition because he was marked out of the game for recovering in time for the last 16 round. His goal contribution increased towards the end of the season, with 11 of his 14 goals coming from the last 13 games. On 10 March 2007, he became the first player in 12 years to score three goals in a game when he did it against Real Madrid. A new contract signed that month increased his wages because of his growing importance to the club.Maradona's two most famous goals in the span of seven weeks were <mask>'s two most famous goals. He scored a goal that was remarkably similar to Maradona's second goal in the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup, known as the Goal of the Century. Just as Maradona had done, <mask> collected the ball on the right side near the halfway line, ran and beat five defenders before scoring with an angle finish. A league match against Espanyol on 9 June saw him score by launching himself at the ball and guiding it past the goalkeeper with his hand in a similar fashion to Maradona's Hand of God goal in the World Cup match. <mask> was rested during the second leg against Getafe and Barcelona lost the league to Real Madrid. At only 20 years old, <mask> became Bara's new star player, receiving the nickname "<mask>" from the Spanish media. Journalists voted him the third-best player of the year for the Ballon d'Or, behind Kak andRonaldo, while international managers and national team captains voted him second for the FIFA World Player of the Year award.The second half of his season was disrupted by injuries after he tore his hamstring on December 15. He became the competition's top scorer at that point with six goals, but reinjured himself in the return leg and missed the rest of the season. Carles Puyol, the captain of the Spanish team, criticized the Spanish media for pressuring <mask> to play every match, despite warnings from the medical staff. The season ended without a trophy for Barcelona, who finished third in the league. After two unsuccessful seasons, Barcelona were in need of an upgrade, leading to the departure of Rijkaard and Ronaldinho. <mask> was given the number 10 shirt after the latter left. He became the club's highest-paid player when he signed a new contract in July.Ahead of the new season, a major concern remained his frequent muscular injuries, which had left him side-lined for a total of eight months between 2006 and 2008. To combat the problem, the club implemented new training, nutrition, and lifestyle regimen, and assigned him a personal physiotherapist, who would travel with him during call-ups for the Argentina national team. <mask> was injury-free for the next four years, allowing him to reach his full potential. He was runner-up for both the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year in 2008 despite being injured early in the year. In the 2008–09 season, he scored 38 goals in 51 games, helping the club to a total of 100 goals in all competitions, a record at the time. <mask> played mostly on the right wing in his first season with Barcelona, but this time he was a false winger with the freedom to cut inside and roam the centre. On 2 May 2009, he played for the first time as a false nine, dropping deep into the middle to link up with Xavi and Andrés Iniesta.He set up his side's first goal and scored twice to end the match in an emphatic 6–2 victory, the team's greatest-ever score at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. Returning to the wing, he played his first final since breaking into the first team on 13 May, scoring once and assisting a second goal as Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 5–1 to win the Copa del Rey. Barcelona achieved its fifth double after <mask> scored 23 league goals that season. As the season's top scorer with nine goals, the youngest in the tournament's history, <mask> scored two goals and assisted two more to ensure a 4–0 quarter-final victory. He came back as a false nine in the final against Manchester United. Barcelona won the match 2–0 and the second goal came from <mask> over the goalkeeper. The first treble in the history of Spanish football was achieved by Barcelona.This success was reflected in a new contract signed on 18 September, which commits <mask> to the club through 2016 with a new buyout clause of 250 million, while his salary increased to 12 million. His team's prosperity continued into the second half of 2009, as Barcelona became the first club to achieve the sextuple, winning six top-tier trophies in a single year. <mask> scored the winning goal with his chest as Barcelona won the Club World Cup against Estudiantes de La Plata. <mask> won both the Ballon d'Or and the World Player of the Year award at the age of 22. Barcelona were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Sevilla on the first day of the new year. <mask> was unhappy with his position on the right wing and began playing as a false nine. Barcelona won the second leg 4–0 with two goals and an assist from <mask>.He became the tactical focal point of the team and his goal scoring rate increased. <mask> equaled the club record of 47 goals in the 1996–97 season. He became Barcelona's all-time top scorer in the competition when he scored all of his side's four goals in the quarter-finals. <mask> finished the season as the top scorer for the second year in a row with 8 goals. As the league's top scorer with 34 goals, he helped Barcelona win a second consecutive La Liga trophy with only a single defeat and earned his first European Golden Shoe. <mask> secured Barcelona's first trophy of the 2010–11 campaign, the Supercopa de Espaa, by scoring a hat-trick in his side's second-leg 4–0 victory over Sevilla. He played a key role in Barcelona's 5–0 victory over Real Madrid in the first meeting between the two teams with Jose Mourinho in charge.The team achieved 16 consecutive league victories, a record in Spanish football, thanks to <mask>'s hat-trick against Atlético Madrid on February 5, 2011. His club performances in 2010 earned him the inaugural Ballon d'Or, an amalgamation of the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year award, though his win was met

title: Lionel Messi

texts: with some criticism due to his lack of success with Argentina at the 2010 World Cup. Under the old format, he would have placed outside the top three because of the votes from the international coaches and captains. Barcelona played four Clsicos in 18 days at the end of the season. A league match ended in a draw after a penalty from <mask>. <mask> scored two goals in Barcelona's 2–0 win over Real in Madrid in the first leg of the semifinals of the European Championship, the second of which was hailed as one of the best dribbles of all time. He was important in the second-leg draw that sent Barcelona through to the final, where they will face Manchester United.<mask> scored the match-winning goal in Bara's 3–1 victory at Wembley on May 28, becoming the competition's top scorer for the third year in a row with 12 goals. Barcelona won the title for the third year in a row. The league's top assist provider was <mask> with 18. He finished the season with 53 goals and 24 assists, becoming Barcelona's all-time single-season top scorer and the first player in Spanish football to reach the 50- goal benchmark. During the 2011–12 season, <mask> scored an unprecedented 73 goals and provided 29 assists, making him the first player in history to score at least 73 goals and provide at least 29 assists in a single season. He scored three times in the Supercopa de Espaa to surpass Ral as the competition's all-time top scorer with eight goals. He won the Golden Ball as the best player of the tournament for the second year in a row, after scoring two goals in the final of the Club World Cup.He became the fourth player in history to win the Ballon d'Or three times, and the first since Marco van Basten. The Best Player in Europe Award was a revival of the old-style Ballon d'Or. Diego Maradona and Pel were both considered to be one of the best football players of all time. <mask> broke several longstanding records in 2012 as he maintained his goal scoring form into the second half of the season. On 7 March, two weeks after scoring four goals in a league fixture against Valencia, he scored five times in a European competition for the first time. This feat made him top scorer with 14 goals, tying José Altafini's record from the 1962–63 season, as well as becoming only the second player after Gerd Mller to be top scorer in four campaigns. On 20 March, <mask> became the all-time leading scorer in Barcelona's history at 24 years old, with a hat-trick against Granada.One of the greatest eras in the club's history came to an end despite <mask>'s individual form. The team lost the league to Real Madrid and was eliminated from the competition in the semi-finals after <mask> sent a crucial second-leg penalty kick against them. In Bara's last home league match, against Espanyol, <mask> scored all four goals before approaching the bench to embrace his manager, who had announced his resignation. He finished the season as the top scorer in Spain and Europe for a second time, with 50 goals, a La Liga record, while his 73 goals in all competitions surpassed Gerd Mller's 67 goals in the 1972– 73 Bundesliga season, making him the single-season top scorer <mask> helped the club achieve its best-ever start to a La Liga season during the second half of 2012 with 55 points by the competition's midway point, a record in Spanish football. On December 9th, <mask> broke two longstanding records, becoming Barcelona's all-time top scorer in La Liga and the most goals scored in a calendar. After breaking his 40-year record, <mask> sent Mller a number 10 Barcelona shirt.At the end of the year, <mask> had scored a record 91 goals for Barcelona and Argentina. He received the Guinness World Records title for most goals scored in a calendar year, despite the fact that FIFA did not acknowledge the achievement. <mask> is the only player in history to win the Ballon d'Or four times. Barcelona equaled Real Madrid's 100 point record of the previous season when they won the La Liga title by the start of the new year. In the second half of the 2012–13 campaign, their performances deteriorated due to Vilanova's ill health. They were almost knocked out of the first knockout round of the Champions League by AC Milan, but a revival of form in the second leg led to a 4–0 comeback, with two goals and an assist. <mask> signed a new contract with Barcelona on February 7, committing himself to the club through 2018, while his fixed wage rose to 13 million.He wore the captain's armband for the first time a month later, on 17 March, in a league match against Rayo Vallecano; he had become the team's tactical focal point to a degree that was arguably rivalled only by former Barcelona players. Since his evolution into a false nine three years earlier, his input into the team's attack has increased, while his goal contribution has gone up. After four largely injury-free seasons, the muscular injuries that had previously plagued <mask> recurred. During the first quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain, his appearances became sporadic after he was injured. <mask> came off the bench in the second half and within nine minutes helped create their game-tying goal, which allowed them to progress to the semi-finals. Barcelona were defeated 7–0 on aggregate by the eventual champion after he was unable to play in the first and second legs. The idea of Messidependencia, Barcelona's perceived tactical and psychological dependence on their star player, was reinforced by these matches.<mask> parted ways with his personal physiotherapist, who had been with him for many years. He had a goal scoring streak of 21 consecutive league games, a worldwide record, which was ended by injury on 12 May, but he had netted 33 goals during his run, including a four-goal display against Osasuna. He became the first player in history to win the European Golden Shoe three times after finishing the season as the top scorer in Spain and Europe with 60 goals. <mask> suffered his fifth injury of the year when he tore his hamstring on 10 November and was out for two months. Despite his injuries, he was a runner-up for the Ballon d'Or, relinquishing the award after four years.
