The Beatles!
The Beatles' biography by Efi
The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960. The group, whose best-known line-up comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, are regarded as the most influential band of all time. By early 1964, the Beatles were international stars, leading the "British Invasion" of the United States pop market and breaking numerous sales records. They soon made their film debut with A Hard Day's Night (1964). From 1965 onwards, they produced records of greater complexity, including the albums Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966) and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), and enjoyed further commercial success with The Beatles. The Beatles are the best-selling music act of all time, with estimated sales of 600 million units worldwide. They hold the record for most number-one albums on the UK Albums Chart (15), most number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (20), and most singles sold in the UK (21.9 million). The band received seven Grammy Awards, four Brit Awards, an Academy Award (for Best Original Song Score for the 1970 film Let It Be) and fifteen Ivor Novello Awards.
History
In March 1957, John Lennon, then aged sixteen, formed a skiffle group with several friends from Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool. They briefly called themselves the Blackjacks, before changing their name to the Quarrymen after discovering that another local group were already using the name. Fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined them as a rhythm guitarist shortly after he and Lennon met that July.[5] In February 1958, McCartney invited his friend George Harrison to watch the band. Martin's first recording session with the Beatles took place at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London on 6 June 1962.

Rooted skiffle,beat and 1950s rock n' roll, their sound incorporated elements of classical music 🎶 and traditional pop 🥤 in innovating ways; the band later explored music styles ranging from ballads and Indian music 🎵 to psychedelia and hard rock.As pioneers in recording,songwriting and artistic presentation,the Beatles revolutionised many aspects of the music 🎼 industry and were often publicised as leaders of the era's youth and sociocultural movements!!!

The Wright Brothers!
The Wright Brothers by Teo
1) WHO WERE WILBUR AND ORVILLE
Wilbur and Orville were the children of Bishop Milton Wright. Wilbur was born on April 16, 1867 and Orville was born on August 19, 1871. Their father was a newspaper editor. Later, the brothers opened a small bike shop. There they fixed bikes and people could rent bikes. Also, they made their own bicycle line! But they were always saying that they wanted to fly.
2) INVENTING A FLYING MACHINE
1899
After collecting reference material from the Smithsonian and other sources, the Wright brothers began studying their predecessors. They were surprised to learn that, despite centuries-old interest of humanity in flight, little progress had been made in aeronautics before 1800. Until that time, few trained scientists or mechanics thought it a sensible undertaking.
1900
The Wrights next began to study aerodynamics and structures in preparation for building their first piloted glider. It was one thing to design a set of wings for a small kite, quite another to build a large, heavy glider, climb aboard, and launch oneself into the air. The brothers now began to consider such things as the precise curve of the wing profile, the wing area necessary to lift a pilot, and the type of materials needed to construct a glider.
1901
The poor lift performance of their 1900 glider made the Wright brothers question, but not abandon, the aerodynamic data and equations they had relied upon. To increase lift on their next glider, they simply increased the size of the wings and the curvature of the airfoil. They returned to Kitty Hawk in 1901 to test the new glider. The results were discouraging. Although more and longer free glides were made than in the previous year, the new glider performed worse than the 1900 craft. It still suffered from lack of lift and now had control problems as well.
1902
By December 1901, the Wright brothers had accumulated all the aerodynamic data they needed to build a successful flying machine. However, they did not immediately try to build a powered airplane. They could not be sure that data obtained from tiny model wings would translate to a full-size aircraft. And they still had to solve the mysterious control problems that surfaced during the 1901 glider trials. Rather than risk life and limb on a large, heavy, untried powered flying machine, Wilbur and Orville decided to build one more glider.
1903
Buoyant over the success of their 1902 glider, the Wright brothers were no longer content to merely add to the growing body of aeronautical knowledge; they were going to invent the airplane. Still, they recognized that much hard work lay ahead, especially the creation of a propulsion system. During the spring and summer of 1903, they were consumed with leaping that final hurdle into history. On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft. The Wright brothers had invented the first successful airplane.
1904
On January 5, 1904, the Wright brothers made a statement to the Associated Press regarding their Kitty Hawk flights. They gave an account of the events, and then in closing affirmed that they had achieved their goal: “We packed our goods and returned home, knowing that the age of the flying machine had come at last.’’ However, the 1903 Flyer had only performed short, straight-line flights. To successfully market their invention, they had to demonstrate that it could turn and fly over more commonplace terrain than the sandy open spaces of Kitty Hawk. With this goal in mind, Wilbur and Orville refined their design with two more powered aircraft in 1904 and 1905.
1905
By the fall of 1905, the Wright brothers’ experimental period ended. With their third powered airplane, they now routinely made flights of several minutes. On October 5, Wilbur made a spectacular flight in which he circled the field 30 times in 39 minutes for a total distance of 24 1/2 miles. In every sense, the Wrights now had a practical airplane. They turned their attention to securing their patent and seeking a customer for their invention. They would not fly again for 2 1/2 years. The 1905 Wright Flyer is on display at Carillon Historical Park, Dayton. The 1904 Flyer does not survive.

MANTO MANTOGENOUS
Manto Mavrogenous was born in 1796 or 1997. She was a Greek heroine of Greek War of Independence. She was a rich woman and she spent all her money for the Hellenic cause. Under
her encouragement, her European friends contributed money and weapons to the revolution. Manto Mavrogenous was born in Trieste. She was daughter of a merchant and member of Filiki Eteria. Manto Mavrogenous grew up with an educated family, influenced by the Age of Enlightenment. She studied ancient Greek philosophy and history at college in Trieste, and spoke French, Italian and Turkish fluently. Manto Mavrogenous moved to Paros in 1840 and she died in July 1848.

Theodoros Kolokotronis
Theodoros Kolokotronis was a Greek general and a leading figure of the Revolution in 1821, chief, proxy, Counsellor of the State. He acquired the nickname ‘Geros of Moria’. After his death he was honoured by the Greek State with the rank of Marshal. BiographyTheodoros Kolokotronis came from a famous family. His family name was originally Tzerginis, as he mentions in his memoirs, and in Messinia there were 60 families with the same surname. Friendly SocietyIn 1818 he was initiated into the Friendly Society and in January 1821 he returned to Mani where he began to prepare for the Revolution in the Peloponnese knowing that the starting day was March 25. In the revolutionHe starred in many military operations of the Struggle, such as the victory in Valtetsi (May 13, 1821), the fall of Tripolitsa (September 23, 1821), the destruction of Dramalis' army in Dervenakia (July 26, 1822), where he saved the Struggle in the Peloponnese. These are some photos of Theodoros Kolokotronis
