Million

One million (1,000,000) or one thousand thousand is the natural number following 999,999 and preceding 1,000,001. The word is derived from the early Italian millione (milione in modern Italian), from mille, "thousand", plus the augmentative suffix -one. It is commonly abbreviated as m or M; further MM ("thousand thousands", from Latin "Mille"; not to be confused with the Roman numeral MM = 2,000), mm, or mn in financial contexts.

In scientific notation, it is written as 7006100000000000000♠1×10⁶ or 10⁶.Physical quantities can also be expressed using the SI prefix mega (M), when dealing with SI units; for example, 1 megawatt (1 MW) equals 1,000,000 watts.

The meaning of the word "million" is common to the short scale and long scale numbering systems, unlike the larger numbers, which have different names in the two systems.

The million is sometimes used in the English language as a metaphor for a very large number, as in "Not in a million years" and "You're one in a million", or a hyperbole, as in "I've walked a million miles" and "You've asked the million-dollar question".

Ella Edmondson

Eleanor Rose "Ella" Edmondson (born 1986 Hammersmith, London, England) is an English singer-songwriter. Her primary instrument is the guitar though she can also play piano.

Biography

Edmondson is the eldest of three daughters of comedians Adrian Edmondson and Jennifer Saunders. She has two younger sisters, Beatrice and Freya. The majority of Edmondson's childhood was spent in Richmond before her family relocated to Devon. She attended Exeter School where she wrote songs as part of her music GCSE. Edmondson became a fan of death metal because it was the only music that her father didn't like. She went through a goth phase as a teenager and became a satanist. She worked as snowboarding instructor in Canada, a barmaid and a painter and decorator before deciding to focus on music full-time after being encouraged by her father. She "got the bug" after supporting Jools Holland at the Plymouth Pavilions.

She received her first guitar as a Christmas present from her father and taught herself to play by copying him. Her first gig was at 16 supporting Thousand Natural Shocks in Exeter. She made an appearance in an episode of her mother's sitcom Jam and Jerusalem in 2006 performing "Breathe" (and says the character Tash in the series is loosely based on her). In 2007, she released her first EP, Blame Amy and appeared on the compilation Folk Rising. Her debut album, Hold Your Horses, was released on 16 February 2009 on her father's Monsoon record label.
