James Watt

James Watt, FRS, FRSE (19 January 1736 – 25 August 1819)^[1] was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer whose improvements to the Newcomen steam engine were fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both the Kingdom of Great Britain and the world.

While working as an instrument maker at the University of Glasgow, Watt became interested in the technology of steam engines. He realised that contemporary engine designs wasted a great deal of energy by repeatedly cooling and re-heating thecylinder. Watt introduced a design enhancement, the separate condenser, which avoided this waste of energy and radically improved the power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of steam engines. He developed the concept of horsepower.^[2] The SIunit of power, the watt, was named after him.

Watt attempted to commercialise his invention, but experienced great financial difficulties until in 1775 he entered a partnership with Matthew Boulton. The new firm of Boulton and Watt was eventually highly successful and Watt became a wealthy man. In retirement, Watt continued to develop new inventions though none were as significant as his steam engine work. He died in 1819 at the age of 83.

MARK-TWAIN

Samuel Clemens was born in the small village of Florida, Missouri, where his parents had migrated about a wealthy uncle, John, owner of a shop, a farm and some twenty black slaves. After four years, his family moved to nearby Hannibal (Missouri) river port on the Mississippi River and began his studies there. Hannibal was the inspiration for the fictional town of St. Petersburg in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. At that time, Missouri was a slave state and the young Twain was familiar with slavery, a theme later explored in his writings.

His father died of pneumonia in March 1847, when Twain was 12. Without completing their education, entered the following year apprenticeship in printing and became a printer. In 1851 he began to publish some short stories of travel in the Journal of Muscatine, who belonged to his older brother Orion. With this brother undertake various other adventures in search of easy money after signing the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.
Meanwhile, working in the printing of St. Louis, Cincinnati, New York, Philadelphia and other cities and beyond is piloto1 of a steamer, an experience that marked him deeply. During the Civil War was Confederate soldier, after which begins a business and is of no luck. In this state, which was accompanied by his brother, who was secretary of the federal government in such territory, began working as a journalist in 1862 on the Territorial Enterprise of Virginia City and the following year, began signing with the pseudonym Mark Twain, adopted in a typical expression of the work songs of blacks in the Mississippi River, meaning "mark two fathoms", the minimum depth needed for good navegación.2

In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon, the great love of his life, whom he called Livy. Olivia was the daughter of a liberal capitalist who helped many slaves escape as part of the network called the Underground Railroad release. At first Olivia Samuel did not pay attention to, but after a year of letters a day, ended up falling in love with a writer.






Twain continued to write travel books as A Tramp Abroad (1880) on a trip to the Alps and the Black Forest, and the classic Life on the Mississippi (1883) (first novel typed), composite material published or made above and focuses a period of introspection about his childhood and youth and that books are the most valuable narrative of the writer: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884). antonio, fight, nico, gero, mateo

An investment in a new type of linotype, linotype Paige, completely ruined in the panic of 1893, but managed to get out of the red lecturing throughout the United States and around the world. On this experience published travel book Following the Ecuador (1897). At the time, convinced the president, Ulysses S. Grant, for the publishing of his memoirs.

Besides bankruptcy was primed to disgrace his family. Her eldest daughter, Susy, died of meningitis, Livy is invalid and another son was killed by his own carelessness, as painfully account in his autobiography. Always fighting against economic hardship, the writer fell into a black man in a terrible pessimism and misanthropy, so that even he himself realized that what I wrote at the time was too sharp and unprintable for the parameters of time and left instructions to be edited after his death.

He made a grueling trip with his wife in South Africa, Calcutta, Australia and New Zealand giving lectures, and stayed to live in New York. His wife died in Florence in 1904 and six years after her daughter died suddenly. This blow barely recovered and died four months later, April 21, 1910, in Redding, Connecticut. Only one daughter survived. Coming into the world coincided with the passage of Halley's comet, and knowing the next visit it, Mark Twain prophesied his death coincided with his appearance, was mistaken for a day. He was known worldwide during the last years of his life and received, among others, an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford (United Kingdom) in 1907.

Samuel Clemens nació en el pequeño pueblo de Florida, Missouri, donde sus padres habían emigrado cerca de un tío rico, John, propietario de una tienda, una granja y unos veinte esclavos negro. Después de cuatro años, su familia se trasladó a puerto fluvial cercana Hannibal (Missouri) en el río Mississippi y comenzó sus estudios allí. Aníbal fue la inspiración para el pueblo ficticio de San Petersburgo en Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer y Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finn. En esa época, Missouri era un estado esclavista y el joven Twain estaba familiarizado con la esclavitud, un tema explorado más adelante en sus escritos.


Su padre murió de neumonía en marzo de 1847, cuando Twain tenía 12 años. Sin completar sus estudios, entró en el aprendizaje año siguiente en la impresión y se convirtió en una impresora.

En este estado, que estuvo acompañado por su hermano, que era secretario del gobierno federal en ese territorio, empezó a trabajar como periodista en 1862 en el Territorial Enterprise de Virginia City y al año siguiente, comenzó a firmar con el seudónimo Mark Twain, aprobada en una expresión típica de las canciones de trabajo de los negros en el río Mississippi, que significa "marca dos brazas", la profundidad mínima necesaria para el bien navegación.2
En 1870 se casó con Olivia Langdon, el gran amor de su vida, a quien llamó Livy. Olivia era hija de un capitalista liberal que ayudó a escapar a muchos esclavos como parte de la red del ferrocarril subterráneo de la liberación. Al principio, Samuel Olivia no prestó atención, pero después de un año de cartas diarias, terminó enamorándose de un escritor.

Twain siguió escribiendo libros de viajes como un vagabundo en el extranjero (1880) en un viaje a los Alpes y el Bosque Negro, y la vida clásica en el Mississippi (1883) (la primera novela de tipo), compuesto publicados o puestos anteriores y se centra un periodo de de introspección sobre su infancia y juventud y libros que son los más valiosos de la narrativa del escritor: Las aventuras de Tom Sawyer (1876), Las aventuras de Huckleberry Finn (1884). antonio, la lucha, nico, gero, mateo
Una inversión en un nuevo tipo de linotipia, la linotipia Paige, completamente en ruinas en el pánico de 1893, pero se las arregló para salir de la impartición de color rojo en los Estados Unidos y alrededor del mundo. En esta experiencia publicó el libro de viajes Tras el Ecuador (1897). En ese momento, convencido de que el presidente, Ulysses S. Grant, para la publicación de sus memorias.
Además de la quiebra fue preparado para desgracia de su familia. Su hija mayor, Susy, murió de meningitis, Livy no es válido y otro hijo fue asesinado por su propio descuido, como dolorosamente cuenta en su autobiografía. Siempre luchando contra las dificultades económicas, el escritor cayó en un hombre negro en un terrible pesimismo y la misantropía, por lo que incluso él mismo se dio cuenta de que lo que escribí en ese momento era demasiado fuerte y no imprimible para los parámetros de tiempo y las instrucciones de la izquierda que se ha editado después de su muerte.
Hizo un agotador viaje con su esposa en el sur de África, Calcuta, Australia y Nueva Zelanda dando conferencias, y se quedó a vivir en Nueva York. Su esposa murió en Florencia en los años 1904 y seis después de que su hija murió de repente. Este golpe apenas se recuperó y murió cuatro meses más tarde, 21 de abril de 1910, en Redding, Connecticut. Sólo una hija sobrevivió. Entrando en el mundo coincidió con el paso del cometa Halley, y conociendo la próxima visita que, de Mark Twain profetizó su muerte coincidió con su aparición, se equivocó por un día. Era conocido en todo el mundo durante los últimos años de su vida y recibió, entre otros, un doctorado honorario de la Universidad de Oxford (Reino Unido) en 1907.

MICHAEL JAKSON

THE    KING   OF   POP

 

Was an American recording artist, dancer, singer-songwriter, musician, and

philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most

successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a

global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson

family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a

member of The Jackson 5 in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.

In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the

popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style have influenced numerous hip hop, pop, contemporary R&B, and rock artists.

Jackson's 1982 album thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including off the wall(1979), bad (1987), dangerous(1991), and history (1995), were also rank among the world's best-selling. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. He was also inducted into the Dance Hall of Fame as the first (and currently only) dancer from the world of pop and rock 'n' roll. Some of his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards (as well as the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award); 26 American Music Awards (more than any otherarti st, including the "Artist of the Century"); 13 number-one singles in the United States in his solo career (more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era); and the estimated sale of over 750 million records worldwide. Jackson won hundreds of awards, which have made him the most-awarded recording artists in the history of music. He was also a notable humanitarian and philanthropist, donating and raising hundreds of millions of dollars for beneficial causes and supporting more than 39 charities.

APRIL FOOL´S DAY

April Fools' Day is celebrated in different countries around the world on the April 1 of every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1 is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when many people play all kinds of jokes and foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good humoured or funny jokes, hoaxes, and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc.

The earliest recorded association between April 1 and foolishness can be found in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392). Many writers suggest that the restoration of January 1 as New Year's Day in the 16th century was responsible for the creation of the holiday, but this theory does not explain earlier references.

La primera asociación registrada entre abril 1 y locura se puede encontrar en los Cuentos de Canterbury de Chaucer (1392). Muchos autores sugieren que la restauración del 1 de enero como día de Año Nuevo en el siglo 16 fue el responsable de la creación de la fiesta, pero esta teoría no explica las referencias anteriores
