Athena
Athena atau Athene , juga disebut Pallas Athena atau Pallas Athene (Παλλάς Αθηνά; Παλλάς Άθήνη) dalam mitologi Yunani adalah dewi kebijaksanaan, strategi, dan perang. Athena juga dikenal sebagai dewi yang menolong para pahlawan. Athena adalah seorang dewi yang terlahir sebagai perempuan dewasa dan tak pernah digambarkan sebagai anak kecil. Athena tidak memiliki suami atau kekasih sehingga disebut sebagai parthenos ("perawan"), Hefaistos pernah mencoba memperkosanya namun gagal. Kuil Parthenon di kota Athena, Yunani adalah kuilnya yang paling terkenal.
Menurut legenda, Athena adalah putri kesayangan Zeus, dewa terkuat. Ibunya adalah dewi Metis, yang merupakan dewi pemikiran dan kepandaian, dan terkenal sebagai dewi kebijaksanaan. Athena diberkahi kekuatan oleh ayahnya, kepandaian dan kebijaksanaan oleh ibunya.
Dalam legenda lain Pallas dianggap sebagai ayahnya, maka ia sering diberi gelar Pallas Athena (Παλλάς Αθηνά). Selain itu juga ada yang menyebutkan kalau Athena berhasil membunuh Pallas dalam perang Dewa melawan Titan sehingga diberi gelar Pallas Athena.
Athena pernah mengubah Medusa yang asalnya seorang gadis cantik menjadi monster. Di kemudian hari Perseus memenggal kepala Medusa dan memberikannya pada Athena, sang dewi lalu memasang kepala Medusa pada perisainya atau pada Aigis.
Athena dihubungkan oleh bangsa Etruria dengan dewi mereka yang bernama Menrva, dan kemudian diadaptasi oleh orang Romawi sebagai Minerva. Athena ditemani oleh seekor burung hantu kecil dan dewi kemenangan, Nike. Dia juga sering digambarkan memegang tombak.

SAMURAI X
Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story (Japanese: るろうに剣心 -明治剣客浪漫譚- Hepburn: Rurōni Kenshin Meiji Kenkaku Romantan), also known as Rurouni Kenshin and Samurai X, is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuhiro Watsuki. The story takes place during the early Meiji period in Japan and follows a former assassin from the Bakumatsu, named Himura Kenshin, who becomes a wanderer to protect the people of Japan. Watsuki wrote this series upon his desire of making a shōnen manga different from the other ones that were published at the time, with Kenshin being a former assassin and the story taking a more serious tone as it continued. The manga revolves around themes of atonement, peace, and romance.
The manga initially appeared in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from April 11, 1994, to November 4, 1999. The complete work consists of 28 tankōbon volumes, while years later it was reprinted into twenty-two kanzenban volumes. Studio Gallop, Studio Deen and SPE Visual Works adapted the manga into an anime series which aired in Japan from January 10, 1996 to September 8, 1998. Besides an animated feature film, two series of original video animations (OVAs) were also produced. The first adapted stories from the manga that were not featured in the anime, while the second was a sequel to the manga. Several art and guidebooks for Rurouni Kenshin have been published and writer Kaoru Shizuka has authored three official light novels which were published by Shueisha. Many video games have also been released for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable consoles. A successful live-action theatrical film adaptation was released in 2012, with limited international screenings.
The manga has received a complete North American release by Viz Media, as well as the first light novel and first guidebook. Rurouni Kenshin is subtitled "Wandering Samurai" in some English releases. The TV series was later licensed in North America and released on DVD by Media Blasters. The first two seasons aired on the United States Cartoon Network as part of the Toonami block, while the third season was only featured on DVD. The English-language versions of the OVAs, as well as the film, were originally released as Samurai X in North America, although the original name was included on the later DVD and Blu-ray Disc releases.
The Rurouni Kenshin manga has sold over 55 million copies in Japan as of 2012, while its anime has ranked among the 100 most watched series in Japan multiple times. The series has received praise and criticism from various publications for manga, anime and other media, with both having received good response on the characters' designs and the historical setting

JORGE LORENZO
Lorenzo was born on the Balearic island of Mallorca, Spain on 4th May 1987. He began riding motorbikes at home at the tender age of three and within months of taking to two wheels was competing in his first minicross races. In 1995, aged eight, he won the Balearic title and followed that up the following year by taking the Island's minicross, trial, minimoto and junior motocross titles.
Lorenzo graduated to road racing and national competition in 1997 and it didn't take him long to adjust, winning the Aprilia 50cc Cup in 1998. Despite officially being too young, a special dispensation in 2000 allowed him to compete in the Spanish 125cc series at the age of 13 and he made history the following year when competing in Europe and becoming the youngest ever winner of a European 125cc race.
The precocious teenager, once again showing that age was no limit to a quick rise up the ranks of motorbike racing, made his first foray onto the world stage with Derbi at the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez in 2002, the third round of the season. He did not reach the legal age of 15 until Saturday and therefore missed the first day of practice but was unfazed this and impressed the paddock by qualifying for the race, cementing his position in the World Championship over the course of the season as he got to grips with the circuits. The young Mallorcan hit the big time the following season, winning his first 125cc Grand Prix in Rio de Janeiro and then going on to win three more races the following season, finishing fourth in 2004 and taking his podium tally to nine before making the step up the quarter-litre class and switching to Honda machinery.
Six podium finishes and four pole positions in his rookie 250cc season sealed fifth in the championship and, with a move to the Aprilia factory team, 2006 was widely expected to be his defining year. Lorenzo indeed surpassed all expectations in 2006, dominating the class with eight wins and a record-equalling ten poles, clinching his first world title convincingly. 2007 saw more of the same and an incredible nine pole positions saw him win from every single one of them, claiming his second world title at the penultimate round in Sepang. He also became the most successful 250cc Spanish rider of all time in the process.
He joined Yamaha in 2008 and exploded onto the MotoGP scene with an outstanding pole position at the opening round in Qatar, before finishing second in the race. A second pole position and another podium in round two proved it was no fluke, before he went on to take an incredible third pole and a deserved maiden win at the third race in Estoril. He returned to earth with a bump in China, when a crash in practice saw him fracture both ankles, although he battled on to finish fourth in the race before coming back with another podium next time around in France.
The middle part of the season was difficult for the young Spaniard as several more crashes left him with further injuries and battered confidence, but he never gave up and made it back to claim two more podiums. He finished the season in fourth position as rookie of the year, the most successful debutante since the start of the four-stroke era. The 2009 season witnessed Lorenzo take four wins, standing on the podium an additional nine times and only missing out once in all 17 rounds on a front-row qualification, a remarkable show of consistency. He was Rossi's only championship challenger in the latter half of the season and once that chance was gone he focused on securing the number two spot, which he duly did in Valencia.
The 2010 season saw him take up where he left off in 2009, taking the fight to team-mate Rossi from the first race. It soon became clear that Lorenzo was the man to beat last season, the young Mallorcan went on to clock up an impressive nine race wins on his way to securing his first ever MotoGP World Championship title. In doing so he also broke the record for the number of points earned in a single season, accumulating 383 by the last race in Valencia.
For the 2011 MotoGP Championship the then reigning World Champion teamed with a new racing partner, 2010 MotoGP Rookie of the Year Ben Spies. The Texan moved up from theTech3 Yamaha Team to join Yamaha's Factory Racing outfit in the bid for glory. Lorenzo put in a spirited fight to defend his title, recording three race wins and a total of ten podium finishes during the season. A serious crash during round 16 at Phillip Island brought a premature end to the Mallorcan’s season, securing second in the final standings with 260 points. The 2012 season proved to be a great one. Against arguably the toughest challengers of his career in protagonists Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa he excelled from the start, taking the victory at the opening round of the year under the floodlights at Qatar. He went on to achieve and incredible record, taking six race wins over the season and always finishing either in first or second place with the exception of two DNFs. Lorenzo claimed his fourth World title, his second in the premier class, at Phillip Island with one race remaining.
The 2013 season then unfolded as an incredible drama filled spectacle with extreme highs and lows. Rookie rider Marc Marquez became Lorenzo’s nemesis, the young Spaniard snapping at his heels and grabbing race wins wherever possible. The defending champion Lorenzo fought back against the onslaught, scoring multiple race wins in the early part of the season until disaster struck in Assen when a high-speed crash in practice left him with a broken collarbone. Racing fans were then treated to an incredible display of strength and courage as Lorenzo returned to the track just 24hrs after surgery to compete in the race and limit any damage. Disaster then struck again with another major crash, this time in Germany at the Sachsenring circuit, and further collarbone damage. The second half of the season saw a return to form with stunning victories in Japan, Australia and Spain bringing Lorenzo within a few points of a third title. His second place in the final standings was considered one of his greatest victories.

ABOUT CNBLUE
CNBLUE: Dreaming of the World’s Street Corners
This is where this band of four fresh faced young men started out in early 2009. On the streets of Japan, braving the falling temperatures of the harsh winter, having to live like renegades on the run. CNBLUE
started at rock bottom with just a basic grasp of the language, little
money in their pockets, no hand-phones, and no family around them, all
they had was each other and their music. Their company FNC
was trying a new formula, sending them to Japan to train not just as
rookies but as nobodies. To prepare them for an official debut but were
unsure whether to have them start out as an indie band in Japan or wait a
few months more to break through to the Korean market as a band in
their homeland. In the meantime, they held impromptu jam sessions at
train stations, singing covers of popular artists’ songs, while quietly
working on their own compositions and patiently waiting for their turn
to shine. Their street tours in Japan gave them the experience and
confidence they needed and helped to build a solid fan-base there. They
used their natural musical talents and visual appeal to their advantage,
thus enabling them to begin as indie artists in what was a foreign
country to them. Now feeling empowered to co-create their own music
alongside some of Japan’s greatest composers, CNBLUE started their
journey.
During their time in Japan, their company
finally decided to debut CNBLUE as an indie band. They made their
formal debut with their English language first mini album, ‘Now or Never’ on August 19, 2009. Subsequently, on November 25, 2009, the band released their second mini album titled simply, ‘Voice’.
Both albums failed to make an impact on the music charts and sales
counts, but they helped to put the band on the map and people were
beginning to take note. CNBLUE promoted their new music by booking
performances in live clubs and continuing to hold their street lives
whenever the weather allowed for it.
Breaking down the walls they faced in
Japan was only the beginning; they needed to start making a name for
themselves at home in Korea as well. So, with their management company
at the helm of the idol-drama ‘You’re Beautiful’, their guitarist and lead vocalist Jung Yong Hwa, was selected to play the handsome yet awkward, Kang Shin Woo
and would make his acting debut in the role. While the drama did not
garner the remarkable viewership ratings anticipated by execs, the
international response to the drama’s premise, along with the undeniable
chemistry shared between the cast which included Hallyu star Jang Keun Suk, Park Shin Hye and FTISLAND vocalist Lee Hong Ki,
(all members of the fictional band A.N.JELL) facilitated in catapulting
Yong Hwa’s popularity to higher than expected numbers which was
essential for CNBLUE’s status. This new public awareness was positive
for the band as it was crucial for them to have some recognition in
Korea that can pave their way for a local debut. With this new-found
fame, the existing band member’s title roles needed to be put in place
within CNBLUE. The role of the band leader was transferred from Lee Jong Hyun to Jung Yong Hwa not long before their debut was set to take place in Korea. Lee Jung Shin then stepped into the role of the new bassist as the replacement for their original bassist, Kwon Kwang Jin. These
changes should’ve been enough for any new band just starting out to
cave under pressure, but this was not the case for CNBLUE. At their
very core, all these men really desired was to play music that would
reach and captivate as many listeners as possible. While they work hard
and strive to ultimately fill stadiums all over the world, these humble
musicians would be just as content to perform on as many street corners
they could play on; if that was the only way they could do what they
love, perform.
The highly anticipated official music video for the unforgettable title track, ‘I’m a Loner’ was later released just before the launch of their debut Korean mini album, titled, ‘Bluetory’ on January 14th, 2010
which quickly took the number one spot on the MNET real time charts,
along with the second spot on the Hanteo Music Charts. CNBLUE were the
only rookie group to do so in 2010. Other songs featured on the album
were Korean versions of their previous Japanese releases. It wasn’t long
after their initial taste of success that the public, including
celebrities, equally began to take notice of the new rookie band taking
the industry by storm. At first, the band was compared to Korean band FTISLAND,
who happen to be label mates to CNBLUE. The public would soon start to
discern CNBLUE’s music as distinctive, considered as being of same
caliber as alternative rock bands such as Maroon 5, yet also appealing
and honest like alternative pop artist, Jason Mraz.
A few months after they ended their
promotions for their debut Korean album ‘I’m a Loner’, CNBLUE released
their follow up mini album ‘Blue Love’, which was the
first to feature original Korean works by the band and not just
revisions of their previous Japanese tracks. The album introduced
members’ original compositions and lyrics including Jung Yong Hwa’s ‘Love Light’ and ‘Tattoo’ and Kang Min Hyuk’s co-written lyrics for ‘Sweet Holiday’.
The unique CNBLUE sound, especially the exceptional combination of
both Lee Jong Hyun’s baritone voice and Yong Hwa’s husky lead vocals,
was soon celebrated by music enthusiasts and critics and helped to
develop CNBLUE musical color.
After ‘Blue Love’s’ release, CNBLUE successfully extended their impact
onto the international market by embarking on their first regional tour
‘Listen to the CNBLUE Asia Tour’. At the same time, they focused on
their Japanese activities in order to reassure Japanese fans that they
wouldn’t forget about the audience who first enabled them to live out
their dreams of making music. Experiencing warm responses everywhere
they went, CNBLUE began to officially ride the Hallyu wave and finally
became international Rock stars as an idol band.
