Samuel Langhorne Clemens, «Mark Twain», was bom in Florida, Missouri on November 30, 1835 to a Tennessee country merchant, John Marshall Clemens and Jane Lampton Clemens. He was the sixth of seven children. He was born two weeks after the closest approach to Earth of Halley's Comet.
When Twain was four, his family moved to Hannibal a port town on the Mississippi River that would serve as the inspiration for the fictional town of St. Petersburg in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. At that time, Missouri was a slave state in the Union, and young Twain became familiar with the institution of slavery, a theme he later explored in his writing.
In March 1847, when Twain was 11, his father died of pneumonia. The following year, he became a printer's apprentice. In 1851, he began working as a typesetter and contributor of articles and humorous sketches for the Hannibal Journal, a newspaper owned by his brother, Orion. When he was 18, he left Hannibal and worked as a printer in New York City, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Cincinnati. He joined the union and educated himself in public libraries in the evenings, finding wider sources of information than he would have at a conventional school. At 22, Twain returned to Missouri. On a voyage to New Orleans down the Mississippi, the steamboat pilot, Horace E. Bixby, inspired Twain to likewise pursue a career as a steamboat pilot. Twain meticulously studied 2,000 miles (3,200 km) of the Mississippi for more than two years before he received his steamboat pilot license in 1859.
Missouri was a slave state and considered by many to be part of the South, and was represented in both the Confederate and Federal governments during the Civil War. When the war began, Twain and his friends formed a Confederate militia
Twain and his brother traveled for more than two weeks on a stagecoach across the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains, visiting the Mormon community in Salt Lake City along the way. These experiences became the basis of the book Roughing It, and provided material for The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. Twain's journey ended in the silver-mining town of Virginia City, Nevada, where he became a miner. Twain failed as a miner and found work at a Virginia City newspaper, the Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, he signed a humorous travel account «LETTER FROM CARSON*.
Twain then traveled to San Francisco, California, where he continued as a journalist and began lecturing.
Twain met Charles Langdon, who showed him a picture of his sister Olivia; Twain claimed to have fallen in love at first sight. They met in 1868, were engaged a year later, and married in February 1870 in Elmira, New York. The couple lived in Buffalo, New York from 1869 to 1871. Twain owned a stake in the Buffalo Express, and worked as an editor and writer. Their son Langdon died of diphtheria at 19 months.
In 1871, Twain moved his family to Hartford, Connecticut, where starting in 1873 he arranged the building of a dramatic house for them, which local admirers saved from demolition in 1927 ai>d eventually turned into a museum focused on him.
During his years in Hartford, Twain became friends with fellow author William Dean Howells.
Twain made a second tour of Europe, described in the 1880 book A Tramp Abroad. His tour included a visit to London where, in the summer of 1900, he was the guest of newspaper proprietor Hugh Gilzean-Reid. He returned to America in 1900, having earned enough to pay off his debts.
In 1906, Twain began his autobiography in the North American Review. Oxford University awarded him a Doctorate in Letters a year later.
Twain died of a heart attack on April 21, 1910 in Redding, Connecticut, one day after the comet's closest approach to Earth.

Teenagers Listening To Music
All teenagers love music. It's often music parents hate, played at maximum decibels.
Music is a shared bond between teenagers. It gives them an identity, a feeling of belonging to a group.
I want my parents to try to be reasonable. If they shout «Turn off that ghastly noise» I will feel it's an attack on me because the teenagers love and identify with the music strongly.
Try to understand our music, even if you don't like it.
The Effects of Music on Teenagers' is enormous, they show all their emotions.
When teenagers listen to music, does it make them depressed? Does listening to music make them happy? Some people think it does affect them and others do not. Regardless if the person likes music or not it is involved some way in that person's life; whether it's by playing an instrument, listening to songs on the radio, studying music, or even by hearing a song being played in a store. When listening to music teenagers are effected by it, and music can help to change a teen's emotions, both positively and negatively.
In the human brain there is a chemical called EEG when activated, changes a person's emotions. According to a recent study, "the positive affect is associated with greater relative left frontal EEG activation and negative affect is associated with greater relative right frontal EEG activation".

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (March 4, 1678 — July 28, 1741), nicknamed il Prete Rosso («The Red Priest»), was a Venetian priest and Baroque music composer, as well as a famous virtuoso violinist; he was born and raised in the Republic of Venice. The Four Seasons, a series of four violin concerti, is his best-known work and a highly popular Baroque piece.
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi was born in Venice, the capital of the Republic of Venice. He was baptized immediately after his birth at his home by the midwife. His father, Giovanni Battista, a barber before becoming a professional violinist, taught him to play violin and then toured Venice playing the violin with his young son.
Vivaldi had a medical problem that he called the tightening of the chest (probably some form of asthma). His medical problem, however, did not prevent him from learning to play the violin, composing, or taking part in many musical activities. However, he could not play wind instruments due to his lack of breath. At the age of 15 in the year of 1693, he began studying to become a priest. In 1703, at the age of 25, Vivaldi was ordained a priest and was soon nicknamed il Prete Rosso, ♦ The Red Priest», probably because of his red hair.
In September 1703, Vivaldi became maestro di violino (master of violin) at an orphanage called the Pio Ospedale della Pieta (Devout Hospital of Mercy) in Venice.
Shortly after his appointment, the orphans began to gain appreciation and esteem abroad, too; Vivaldi wrote most of his concertos, cantatas, and sacred music for them. In 1704, the position of teacher of viola all'inglese was added to his duties as violin instructor.
In 1709, he lost his job. It was during these years that Vivaldi wrote much of his music, including many operas and concerti. In 1705, the first collection (Connor Cassara) of his works was published. This was a resounding success all over Europe, and was followed in 1714 by La stravaganza (Opus 4), a collection of concerti for solo violin and strings.
In February 1711, Vivaldi and his father went to Brescia, where his setting of the Stabat Mater (RV 621) was played as part of a religious festival. In 1718, Vivaldi began to travel. Despite his frequent travels, the Pieta paid him to write two concerti a month for the orchestra and to rehearse with them at least five times when in Venice. The Pieta's records show that he was paid for 140 concerti between 1723 and 1733.
In 1717 or 1718, Vivaldi was offered a new prestigious position as Maestro di Cappella of the court of the prince Phillip of Hesse-Darmstadt, governor of Mantua. He moved there for three years and produced several operas. He was in Milan, presenting the pastoral drama La Silvia and again the next year with the oratorio L'adorazione. The next big step was a move to Rome in 1722, where his operas introduced the new style and where the new pope Benedict XIII invited Vivaldi to play for him. In 1725, he returned to Venice, where he produced four operas in the same year.
It is also in this period that he wrote the Four Seasons, four violin concertos depicting natural scenes in music. During his time in Mantua Vivaldi became acquainted with an aspiring young singer, Anna Tessieri Giro, who was to become his student, protiigHe, and favorite prima donna. Anna, along with her older half-sister Paolina, became part of Vivaldi's entourage and regularly accompanied him on his many travels.
In 1730, accompanied by his father, he traveled to Vienna and Prague, where his opera Farnace was presented. Vivaldi's life, like those of many composers of the time, ended in financial difficulties. On July 28 he was buried in a simple grave at the Hospital Burial Ground in Vienna. Vivaldi's funeral took place at St. Stephen's Cathedral, where the young Joseph Haydn was then a choir boy.

I am afraid it is not so easy to speak about myself. The trouble is, that I am still young, that is why there is not much to speak about.
To begin with, 1 am a person aged 13. My full name is Oksana. But surely nobody addresses me this way. They call me Ksiysha for short. 1 was born on the twenty-ninth of October 1995 to a family of a teacher and an engineer. I have a brother, 5 years my senior. 1 am happy to have an elder brother who is my best friend on the one hand and on the other-a person who is much older than myself, so 1 can always turn to him with my troubles. It is a pity there are only four of us in the family. I like big friendly families but nowadays there is a tendency to have very few children or no children at all.
I am a very busy person: I go to school, so I have'to do a lot of things-doing exercises, reading texts, cramming something by heart, doing sums, working in different studies and so on; I try to be a good daughter, I have to do some work al)out the house -cleaning, washing up, cooking; I do my best to be a true friend, so I meet my friends as often as I can possibly manage, I try to give them a helping hand if they want it, we go to parties together or just for a walk once in a while.
The next thing I'll tell you about my likes and dislikes. I have already mentioned something about what I like. Besides this I like traveling, especially by car; I enjoy walking in the forest, I am fond of drawing. What I dislike is quarrelling with people. I cannot stand rude unbalanced people who are ready to fly into rage very easily; those who do not keep their promises; those who are not punctual. That will do for all this. I think.
In conclusion I'd like to say that in future I'll manage to make a good wife, an efficient specialist, a careful mother, a good human being.
