Louise, who had an intrepid and adventurer spirit, got a big fortune, and, ignoring the women's restriction in that period, she travelled around Europe in 1920. In 1924, she went to the polar regions of the Artic Ocean, to the Franz Josef Land (in North Siberia). She was the first woman to step on in that lands, where she haunted polar bears and seals.

She directed and financed a lot of scientific expeditions to the coasts of Groenland. Louis became in an expert in the study of the fiords and glaciers in the cost of Groenland. She investigated too some type of plants.

She travelled too around rural zones of Poland: in 1934, she photographied and wrote about the custom, economy, etc about the polish poblation and the different ethnic group. This work was published with more than 500 photos by the American Society Geography in 1937.

Breaking Benjamin (English)

Is a post-grunge and alternative metal group. Was formed in Wilkes-Barre (Pensilvania) in 1998. In 2010, the group decided to stop for problems of the old members. They had a lot of conflicts between them. At that moment, the group was formed by:
  • Jeremy Hummil
  • Jonathan Price
  • Aaron Fink
  • Mark Klepaski
  • Chad Szeliga
  • Benjamin Burnley (creator of the group)
In 2014, the group started again with new members. So now, Breaking Benjamin is formed by:
  • Benjamin Burnley (vocals and creator)
  • Keith Wallen (guitar)
  • Jasen Rauch (guitar)
  • Aaron Brunch (drums)
  • Shaun Foist (bass)
Their first album was released in 2002, called ''Saturate''. Their first bestseller were ''We are not alone'' (2004) and ''Phobia'' (2006), premium with gold and platinum. My favourite album is ''Phobia'' and ''Dear Agony'' (2009). One of his famous songs is Diary of Jane, and one of my favourites.
The name of the group comes from when Benjamin was a solist and he did covers of Nirvana in pubs, one day he threw the microphone and he broke it. The man of the microphone was very grateful with him for breaking the microphone.

Living with a disability (English)

Hi, I'm Laura, and I'm deaf. I can't hear anything, and it's too annoying because I need to know what the people say.
I'm deaf soince I was a child. When I was five years old, one day in the school, I could not hear anything. After that, I had to go the rest of my days in a special school, for learning how to read what the people say. It's difficult, but I have had to live with that since I was young. I don't like this, but is my life.

My life (English)

I was born in Málaga, in 1999. I've never moved house, I still live in the same place where I was borned.
My earliest memory is not very clear, but I can remember something. I remember that I was in the park near my house with my mother (I would be 7 or 8 years old) and I asked her to do something that now I don't remember, and she got angry and said to me ''no'', and I started to cry all day.
I can remember the primary school because I liked it a lot. I had many friends. I've been at secondary school during 4 years. I have changed too much. Now I have curly hair, I'm taller, I've changed my personality...
I'll go to university and continue studying. When I have grown, I would like to be in love with someone, have children and be happy.
