  William Shakespeare, byname Bard of Avon or Swan of Avon, (baptized April 26, 1564, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England—died April 23, 1616, Stratford-upon-Avon), English poet, dramatist, and actor often called the English national poet and considered by many to be the greatest dramatist of all time. Shakespeare occupies a position unique in world literature.  Other poets, such as Homer and Dante, and novelists, such as Leo Tolstoy and Charles Dickens, have transcended national barriers, but no writer’s living reputation can compare to that of Shakespeare, whose plays, written in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for a small repertory theatre, are now performed and read more often and in more countries than ever before.  The prophecy of his great contemporary, the poet and dramatist Ben Jonson, that Shakespeare “was not of an age, but for all time,” has been fulfilled. It may be audacious even to attempt a definition of his greatness, but it is not so difficult to describ

  #10 George Best George Best, (born May 22, 1946, Belfast, Northern Ireland—died November 25, 2005, London, England), Irish-born football (soccer) player who was one of the premier forwards in the game’s history and a fashionable playboy off the field.  The stylish Best became one of the iconic figures of “Swinging London” during the 1960s. While still a schoolboy, Best was recommended to Manchester United by a local Belfast football scout, who called the youngster a “genius.”  Best joined the club at age 15, and he made his first-division debut two years later, in 1963.  He was an immediate sensation, scoring acrobatic goals and helping United to a league title in his second season.  He led the club to another league championship during the 1966–67 season.  In 1968 he was named European Footballer of the Year and helped United become the first English club to win the European Cup.  Best scored a total of 178 goals in his 466 career games with United. #9 Ronaldo Luís Nazário Ronaldo L

  Leonardo da Vinci, born April 15, 1452, Anchiano, near Vinci, Republic of Florence Italy died May 2, 1519, Cloux , France    Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose skill and intelligence, perhaps more than that of any other figure,  epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.   His Last Supper (1495–98) and Mona Lisa (c. 1503–19) are among the most widely popular and influential paintings of the Renaissance.  His notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry and a mechanical inventiveness that were centuries ahead of their time. The unique fame that Leonardo enjoyed in his lifetime and that, filtered by historical criticism, has remained undimmed to the present day rests largely on his unlimited desire for knowledge, which guided all his thinking and behavior.  An artist by disposition and endowment, he considered his eyes to be his main avenue to knowledge; to Leonardo, sight was man’s highest sense because it alone conveyed the facts of experience imme

  Python is a popular general-purpose programming language that can be used for a wide variety of applications.  It includes high-level data structures, dynamic typing, dynamic binding, and many more features that make it as useful for complex application  development as it is for scripting or "glue code" that connects components together.  It can also be extended to make system calls to almost all operating systems and to run code written in C or C++.  Due to its ubiquity and ability to run on nearly every system architecture,  Python is a universal language found in a variety of different applications. About Python Python was conceived in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI)  in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC programming language, which was inspired by SETL capable of exception handling and interfacing with the Amoeba operating system. Its implementation began in December 1989.  Van Rossum shouldered sole responsibility f

  The Great Wall is the largest man-made project in the world.  The complete route is over 20,000 km, stretching from the east seaside to the west desert in northern China,winding up and down across mountains and plateaus like a dragon. The Great Wall stretches across 15 northern Chinese provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, from the Bohai Sea in the east to the Gobi Desert, 2,500 kilometers away in the west.  There are 15 geographically important passes built along the route. The Great Wall is not a single-structured wall, it includes beacon towers, barriers, barracks, garrison stations, and fortresses along the walls, together forming an integrated defense system. The Great Wall developed from the disparate border fortifications and castles of individual Chinese kingdoms.  For several centuries these kingdoms probably were as concerned with protection from their near neighbors as they were with the threat of barbarian invasions or raids.

 #10  The Amur River Extending along the border between northeastern China and Russia,  the Amur River also known as the Heilong Jiang is the tenth longest river in the world.  While the word amur is thought to originate from a term for “water,” the Chinese Heilong Jiang translates to "black dragon river." The Amur proper is 2,824 kilometers (1,755 mi) long, and has a drainage basin of 1,855,000 km2 (716,000 sq mi). Including its source river Argun, it is 4,444 km (2,761 mi) long. #9 Congo River The Congo River Previously known as the Zaire River, river in west-central Africa. With a length of 2,900 miles (4,700 km), it is the continent's second longest river, after the Nile. the Congo stretches in a curve across the continent of Africa  and has the distinction of being the only river to cross the equator twice. It's also the deepest river on earth,  with depths of over 700 feet in some places. #8 Parana River Located in South America, the Parana River is one of the l

#1 Pacific ocean The Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest ocean on Earth. It spans 60 million square miles from California to China,  and in certain regions extends tens of thousands of feet below the surface of the water. To get a sense of just how immense the Pacific Ocean is, you could put all of Earth's landmasses together, and the Pacific would still be larger. The name Pacific is a version of pacify or peaceful.  It was named by the explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1520 as he sailed through a calm patch of water on the ocean.  Despite its name, the Pacific is a vast body of water teeming with activity. Much of the ocean is still waiting to be explored,  but human activities like industrial fishing, deep-sea mining, and fossil-fuel burning are already changing it in significant ways.  The vast body of water is home to some of the most unique life forms on Earth and contains the deepest reaches known to humankind. #2 Atlantic Ocean The Atlantic Ocean is the second-largest of

The dead sea Dead Sea, Arabic Al-Baḥr Al-Mayyit (“Sea of Death”), also called Salt Sea, landlocked salt lake between Israel and Jordan in southwestern Asia.  It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River. Its eastern shore belongs to Jordan, and the southern half of its western shore belongs to Israel.  The northern half of the western shore lies within the Palestinian West Bank and has been under Israeli  occupation since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war. The Jordan River, from which the Dead Sea receives nearly all its water, flows from the north into the lake. The Dead Sea has attracted visitors from around the Mediterranean Basin for thousands of years. It was one of the world's first health resorts\ (for Herod the Great), and it has been the supplier of a wide variety of products, from asphalt for Egyptian mummification to potash  for fertilizers. Today, tourists visit the sea on its Israeli, Jordanian and West Bank coastlines. The Dead Sea has the low
