The feisty flame-haired singer from Paramore has known what she wants from an early age. What other 14-year-old would have stand up to a record company and refused to do what they wanted, when she had just signed a lucrative deal.
The teenager was given a production deal by the label who wanted to promote her as a solo pop artist, but she stood her ground and said she wanted to be part of a band and play alternative music. The fact that they went along with her wishes shows just how good they thought she was.
She formed Paramore with her friends Jeremy Davis and Josh and Zac Farro, and Atlantic's marketing department decided to release the band's music through a cooler label, Fuelled by Ramen.
Before Paramore the other members of the band had been edgy about the whole female thing and were wary of having Williams as a singer, but as they were all good friends she began writing with them and eventually became an official member as lead vocals and playing keyboards. Josh was lead guitar and backing vocals, his brother on drums and Jeremy Davis on bass guitar.
She is a talented songwriter and wrote and recorded the song "Teenagers" which featured in the soundtrack for the film "
Jennifer's Body".

Biography of Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was born on the 14th of March, 1879, and died on the 17th of April, 1955. During that time he changed the way the world thinks. Few names are quite as famous as Einstein's in the world of science and his contributions are taught in schools alongside the likes of Galileo and Hippocrates. This is quite an honor for a man only 55 years gone from this world, and makes the life of Albert Einstein of great interest.
Albert was born in Germany to a family of non-observant Jews. He was a brilliant mind from the start, and always curious about the way the world worked around him. A poor medical student was his tutor for six years during his late childhood and early teen years, and enthusiastically taught him everything he could about the many educational pursuits young Albert was interested in.
After having dropped out of secondary school after clashing with his father about becoming an electrical engineer, which he thought did not allow for enough creative thinking, Albert attempted to enter a university. Though he got great marks in math and science he failed the exam as a whole and his family paid for him to finish secondary school at another institute.

Biography of Orianthi
Orianthi Panagaris was born in Adelaide of Greek and Australian descent and was encouraged by her father to learn the acoustic guitar at the age of six. She started playing electric guitar when she was 11-years-old and began playing in bands at the age of 14. She launched her professional career when she was 15 when she was concentrating seriously on her writing.
There is one artist Orianthi misses more than anyone she has ever known and that is the late Michael Jackson. She was handpicked by him to be her lead guitarist on the "This is It Tour" which was due to open at London's O2 Arena shortly after his untimely death.
Jackson had seen her videos on You Tube and liked what he saw. When he selected her she was absolutely stunned.
She said, "I don't exactly know why he picked me. He had the choice of guitar players but I came in and played a solo "Beat It" for him. Afterwards he said he was so happy, he got up and grabbed my arm and started walking up and down the stage area with me".

Kevin Peterson Biography
Kevin Peterson is the Computer Science teacher in Wheel Tree high school in Baredrill, Kentucky. He also works as the computer lab administrator. His job is to take care of the computer systems of the school, as well as teach the computer science curriculum to students.
Technology is an important part of education. Since the past years, US government has been spending more in the field of education. We have seen a number of technological advancements on most schools. Today, students know about computer technology and programming at an early age. Technology is touching every aspect of life- it has become imperative to include it in our education system.
Though we have seen some negative reactions from some people, and they say too much technology might ruin the classroom environment and students wouldn't be able to relate to other humans, but I feel that technology helps them connect to outer world. You can easily study the history and geography of some other country, while connecting to their people and getting first hand information.
Experiments can be easily explained with the help of technical equipment. Having overhead projectors in classrooms helps teachers explain their lecture with much ease as compared to traditional blackboard approach. Computers can actually stimulate the minds of students and make them think regarding various real life situations.
