BAP Colognian (Kölsch) pronunciation: [bap] is a German rock group. With eleven albums reaching the number one in the German record charts, BAP is one of the most successful rock acts in their home country.
Nearly all of BAP's lyrics are written in Kölsch, the dialect of Cologne, or more precisely in a Kölsch-influenced derivation of Eifelplatt, a regional variant of the Ripuarian language spoken in the nearby rural Eifel. Niedecken's most prominent musical influences, especially early in his career, were Bob Dylan, the Kinks, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, and Wolfgang Ambros.
The group was founded in 1976 under the name Wolfgang Niedecken's BAP in Cologne, Germany by Wolfgang Niedecken and Hans Heres. In 1981, they released their most famous song "Verdamp lang her" (English: Damn long time ago), in which Niedecken describes regrets he has about his relationship with his then recently deceased father. The band's name "BAP" derived from "BAPP", both, a play-on-words on the Kölsch word "Papp" (related to the German word dad), but pronounced differently, and Niedecken's then-times nickname.

Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aerospace vehicle goes from the ground to flying in the air.
For aircraft that take off horizontally, this usually involves starting with a transition from moving along the ground on a runway. For balloons, helicopters and some specialized fixed-wing aircraft (VTOL aircraft such as the Harrier), no runway is needed. Takeoff is the opposite of landing.
For light aircraft, usually full power is used during takeoff. Large transport category (airliner) aircraft may use a reduced power for takeoff, where less than full power is applied in order to prolong engine life, reduce maintenance costs and reduce noise emissions. In some emergency cases, the power used can then be increased to increase the aircraft's performance. Before takeoff, the engines, particularly piston engines, are routinely run up at high power to check for engine-related problems. The aircraft is permitted to accelerate to rotation speed (often referred to as Vr). The term rotation is used because the aircraft pivots around the axis of its main landing gear while still on the ground, usually because of manipulation of the flight controls to make this change in aircraft attitude.
Takeoff is the aircraft flight phase in which a vehicle goes from the ground to flying in the air.

The first season of The X Factor Philippines aired on ABS-CBN, starting on June 23, 2012 and ending October 7, 2012 but there were special episodes a week after the finale; the live shows began on August 4, 2012. 12 acts made it into the live shows. KZ Tandingan was crowned the winner of the season, with Gabriel Maturan becoming the runner-up and Daddy's Home finishing in third.
The Boys category is mentored by Martin Nievera. Contestants from this category were males from ages 16 to 25. There were five candidates namely: Gabriel Maturan, Anton Paolo Antenorcruz, Kedebon Colim, Jeric Medina, and Michael Pangilinan. Nievera chose the following:
Kedebon Colim is an 18-year-old student from Cebu. Colim auditioned with One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" and had entertained the judges and most of the live audience with his jolly movements and antics, thus receiving four yeses from the judges. During the Bootcamp stage, he sang "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy. He sang "Superhero" by Rocksteddy during the Judges' home visit. His appearance on the live shows have generated interest and criticism from many people on several social network sites such as Twitter and Facebook regarding his singing abilities. On week 7, he landed on the bottom 2 for the first time along with Daddy's Home by the public vote. Colim was eliminated after Valenciano, Corrales and his own mentor, Nievera, decided to eliminate him over Daddy's Home. He was eliminated from the competition on September 16, 2012 and came in 6th place overall in the competition.
