ALEXANDER FLEMING

He was born in Scotland on August 6th, 1881. He died at the age of 73 in London, England.
His best-known discovery is the antibiotic substance penicillin from the mold Penicillium notatum in 1928, for which he won the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

In 1999, a newspaper stated: It was a discovery that would change the course of history. The active ingredient which Fleming named penicillin, turned out to be an infection-fighting agent of enormous potency. When it was finally recognised for what it was, the most efficacious life-saving drug in the world, penicillin would alter forever the treatment of bacterial infections.

DAVID LIVINGSTON

D. Livingston was a Scottish missionary, doctor and explorer. His travels covered one-third of Africa, from the Cape to near the Equator and from the Atlantic to the Indic Ocean.

At the age of ten the boy commenced work in a cotton factory. It was the father's custom to lock the door at dusk. One evening David was a little late in returning to the house. Knowing it was of no use to knock on the door, he calmly sat down on the doorstep to spend the night.

He lost contact with the outside world for six years and was ill for most of the last four years of his life.

He died the 1st of may 1873 at the age of 60. The cause of his dead was malaria and dysentery.

MEET THE GREEK GODS AND GODESSES

ZEUS HERA AND LITTLE IO.

Once upon a time, a long time ago ... Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades were the three sons of Cronos. When Cronos retired, the boys divided the world up between them. Zeus took the sky, Poseidon took the sea, and Hades ruled under the earth, the home of the dead. At first, it was great fun. But things had been just a bit slow lately.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

It is believed that Shakespeare left school around the age of fourteen, which was not uncommon at the time. He married Anne Hathaway in 1582 when he was eighteen years old.

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE BOOK

April twenty third is a symbolic day in world literature. Declared as international Day of the book by UNESCO in 1995, this celebration of books and literature draws its inspiration from a catalan tradition, the festival of the Rose.

Legend has it that Saint George, Patron Saint of Catalonia (Spain) and international knight-errant, slew a dragon about to devour a beautiful Catalan princess. From the dragon's blood sprouted a rosebush, from which the hero plucked the prettiest rose for the princess. Hence the traditional Rose Festival celebrated in Barcelona since the Middle Ages to honor chivalry and love. In 1923, this lover's "festa" became even more poetic when it merged with "el dia del llibre", or The Day of the Book, to mark the nearly simultaneous deaths of Miguel de Cervantes and William Shakespeare, the two giants of literary history, on April 23, 1616.

MEN OF HARLECH

The castle was built by King Edward the 1st during his conquest of Wales. The castle served as the de facto capital of an independent Wales between 1404 and 1409 when it was held by Owain Glyndwr. The later seven-year siege of the castle, during the Wars of the Roses, has been memorialised in the famous song "Men of Harlech".
