STORY
Find out why the pop artist of the century went on
a hiatus for 5 long years.
A musician (or instrumentalist) is a person who plays a
musical instrument or is musically talented. Anyone
who composes and performs music may also be
referred to as a musician.
Musicians can specialize in any musical style, and
some musicians play in a variety of different styles.
Examples of a musician's possible skills include
performing, conducting, singing, composing,
arranging, and the orchestration of music.
The foundation of Romantic period music coincides
with what is often called the age of revolutions, an age
of upheavals in political, economic, social, and military
traditions. This age included the initial transformations
of the Industrial Revolution. A revolutionary energy
was also at the core of Romanticism.
The world transitioned from 19th-century
Romanticism to 20th century Modernism, bringing
major musical changes. In 20th-century music,
composers and musicians rejected the emotiondominated
Romantic period, and strove to represent
the world the way they perceived it. Musicians wrote
to be "...objective, while objects existed on their own
terms. While past eras concentrated on spirituality,
this new period placed emphasis on physicality and
things that were concrete."
The term popular music belongs to a number of
musical genres "having wide appeal" and typically
distributed to large audiences through the music
industry. These forms and styles can be enjoyed and
performed by people with little or no musical training.

WHAT IS ON
What's the best one

are the best to go to?
Camping is an elective outdoor
recreational activity. Generally
held, participants leave
developed areas to spend time
outdoors in more natural ones
in pursuit of activities providing
them enjoyment. To be
regarded as "camping" a
minimum of one night is spent
outdoors, distinguishing it from
day-tripping, picnicking, and
other similarly short-term
recreational activities.

If you love
yourself, do it
for you. At the
end of the day,
it's a matter of
self-respect.
It's natural for friendships to come and go as
you change and learn more about yourself. If
it's time to move on, let your friendship drift
apart gradually, rather than fighting.
Remember, Levine says, “A best friend today
can easily become a frenemy tomorrow.”
“You can downgrade the friendship by being
less available and spending less time with
the person,” Levine says. “This can be
difficult if the decision is one-sided, but it's
important not to hurt or blame the other
person. You have to think about how it will
affect other mutual friendships. When you
dump someone, there's no going back.”

The origin of the word "travel" is most likely lost to
history. The term "travel" may originate from the Old
French word travail. According to the Merriam
Webster dictionary, the first known use of the word
travel was in the 14th century. It also states that the
word comes from Middle English travailen, travelen
(which means to torment, labor, strive, journey) and
earlier from Old French travailler (which means to
work strenuously, toil). In English
we still occasionally use the words travail and
travails, which mean struggle. According to Simon
Winchester in his book The Best Travelers' Tales
(2004), the words travel and travail both share an
even more ancient root: a Roman instrument of
torture called the tripalium (in Latin it means "three
stakes", as in to impale). This link reflects the
extreme difficulty of travel in ancient times. Also
note the torturous connotation of the word
"travailler."

Magazines, according to Wikipedia, are publications, usually
periodical publications, that are printed or published electronically.
The online versions are called online magazines. They are generally
published on a regular schedule and contain a variety of content.
Magazines are generally financed by advertising, by a purchase
price, by prepaid subscriptions, or a combination of the three. The
earliest example of magazines was Erbauliche Monaths
Unterredungen launched in 1663 in Germany.
