 Avengers: Infinity War is a 2018 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the sequel to 2012's The Avengers and 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, and the nineteenth film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, and features an ensemble cast including Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana, Josh Brolin, and Chris Pratt. In Avengers: Infinity War, the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy attempt to stop Thanos from amassing the all-powerful Infinity Stones.

The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1. The Russo brothers came on board to direct in April 2015 and by May, Markus and McFeely had signed on to write the script for the film, which drew inspiration from Jim Starlin's 1991 The Infinity Gauntlet comic and Jonathan Hickman's 2013 Infinity comic. In 2016, Marvel shortened the title to Avengers: Infinity War. Filming began in January 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, and lasted until July 2017, shooting back-to-back with a direct sequel. Additional filming took place in Scotland, England, the Downtown Atlanta area, and New York City. With an estimated budget of around $316 million, it is the third-most expensive film ever made.

Avengers: Infinity War held its world premiere on April 23, 2018 in Los Angeles and was released in the United States on April 27, 2018, in IMAX and 3D. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the cast, visual effects, emotional weight of the story, and action scenes, although the runtime received some criticism. It has grossed over $1.4 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 2018 as well as the 11th highest-grossing film of all time. In its opening weekend it grossed $641 million worldwide and $258 million in the United States and Canada, setting the records for the highest-grossing openings for both. The untitled sequel is set to be released on May 3, 2019.

                       WORLD DANCE DAY

International Dance Day is a global celebration of dance, created by the Dance Committee of the International Theatre Institute (ITI), the main partner for the performing arts of UNESCO. The event takes place every year on 29th April, the anniversary of the birth of Jean-Georges Noverre (1727-1810), the creator of modern ballet. The day strives to encourage participation and education in dance through events and festivals held on the date all over the world. UNESCO formally recognize ITI to be the creators and organizers of the event

Every year, since its creation in 1982, an outstanding dance personality is selected to write a message for International Dance Day. ITI also create a flagship event in a selected host city, at which there are dance performances, educational workshops, humanitarian projects and speeches made by ambassadors, dignitaries, dance personalities and the selected Message Author for that year.

The day is a celebration day for those who can see the value and importance of the art form dance, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value to the people.

In India, there are hundreds of dance forms among them some are I always admired-

1. Garba- Gujarat

2. Bharat Natyam- Tamil Nadu

3. Kathak-northern india

4. Kathakali-Kerela

5. Manipuri-Manipur

6. Lavni-Maharashtra

7. Ghoomar-Rajasthan

8. odhishi-odisha

9. Bhangra-Punjab

10.Dumhal-Jammu & Kashmir

11. Tandav performed by lord SHIVA

12. Lassya- performed by goddess PARVATI

Dance is a fundamental form of human expression that likely evolved together with music as a way of

generating rhythm. The science of dance involves the existence of science in dance and of course its

implementation in the same. One of the first scientific approaches that can be seen today is that dance

is being used as a therapy especially for arthritis, obesity, mental and cancer patients. It has been seen

and proved that music and dance have brought positive changes in the treatment of patients

undergoing chemotherapy. Many cancer centres are offering dance therapies as a combined treatment

to that of their scheduled routine treatments.

I would like to share with you how different streams of science involve in Dancing:

Physics-

• The sound that comes when we stamp feet on the floor is definitely related to science because ‘Sound’ is found in ‘Physics’. Here we can see that Newton’s III law applies:                   

            “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction”                                          

            The action is that a force has been applied on the floor and the reaction is that a sound is created.

• ‘Time’ and ‘Speed’ in Physics as the same as ‘Taal’ and ‘Laya’.

• Displacement in dance is the distance which moved by a dancer on stage. Displacement seen in Physics too.

MATHEMATICS AND GEOMETARY 

• In dance, the counting of matras definitely related to science where the figures are used.

• The science behind taking spins/chakkars in dance in the thermo of circle where the dancer open his/her hands at 180’ while taking chakkar. When the dancer takes a chakkar, turns 360’ upon himself/herself. Hands are kept at 45’ and 90’ also. Use of lines; vertical,diagonal. They are imaginary lines that do exist. The dancer creates a space for himself.

BIOLOGY:

•  The science behind rasa and bhava is such that when a dancer performs on stage, his/her actions reach the audience and the chemical substance is released in the body of the viewer causing a biological change. The audience reacts to the performance due to the neuron chemicals called endorphins that the human body releases.

PHYSIOTHERAPY AND ACCUPRESSURE 

• The Science behind these two being used in dance is such that the movements that a dancer does act on some points of the body. These in turn create positive vibes in the dancer’s body. Making well in his/her social being. 

• Dance can be modified to suit a wide range of diagnostic categories; the mentally challenged, physically disabled, slow learners, emotionally disturbed, the visually and hearing impaired, children with cerebral palsy and autism, etc.

• The points in the feet relating to various part of the human body send signals to the connecting parts and these acts a healing element in the human body. The science behind this is that one is relaxed; it reduces stress, fear, anxiety, depression.

CONCLUSION

• Moreover Mathematics being a scientific subject sheds much on the science of dance. 

• Mohiniattam , a classical dance form of Kerala, uses Kinetic movements 

• Bharatnatyam dancers take squared stances, Kathak dancers uses angles in its movements. Lines are drowns in space. 

• The Dance creates a space for Dancers and indulges in dancing using imaginative lines, vertical, diagonal straight lines. The spins that a kathak dancer takes a purely angular because dancers takes a complete spin over himself/herself, covering 360’. 

• Dancer opens his/her hands at 180’. 

• The implementation of science can be seen. It since long been such a practice to dance in that way but with the advancement in time, one starts realizing the science behind it. 

• Thanks to diversity in Indian Dance forms that make all the corners of India reach in Heritage, Art, Culture, Happiness and Well being of its citizen.
• I feel proud to be leave in country where God themselves are dancing (e.g Shiva performing Tandava & Parvati performing Lassya and Many Goddesses performing dance during Navratri).

चक दे INDIA @  Gold Coast 2018

At 2018 commonwealth games, India is performing like Warrior (Bahubali) keeping a khwaab to stumped other commonwealth nation and got hat trick victory with highest gold medals.


Now India secured third position in the medal tally which is a marvel ever created by Indian sports fraternity.

Historically, the CWG has been India’s favourite hunting ground in the international arena, and serves as a platform for Olympic preparation.

Since the inception of the games in 1930, India has won 436 medals with nearly half of these medals coming in the last three games. India’s most successful games were in 2010 at New Delhi, hauling in 101 medals across disciplines and finishing second on the medals tally for the first and only time so far.

The 2018 Commomwealth Games (CWG) taking place in Gold Coast-Australia between 4-Apr-18 to 15-Apr-18, 70 nations are competing in more than 200 events.

The slogan for this year is "Share the Dream" and mascot is Borobi, the blue surfing koala. I love it...

India is participating in CWG since 1930 & Hosted games in 2010 @ New Delhi.

Below Data mining are to understand Indian athletes are technically at par with advanced world countries like Canada and Britain.

    RETHINKING THE #PHONE LIFE BALANCE                                                                                                                                                 Hi friends!this time with an innovative idea I promise you all that I will give you amazing and also I will give it every SUNDAY.Okay so happy April fools day to you.


DeleteFacebook may be catching on but quitting isn’t easy. But some professionals have found ways to own the phone rather
than let it run their lives


On the Metro, in a bar or mid-conversation with your spouse, do you sneak a peek at your phone? And by the time you look up, 15 minutes have passed and the conversation has drifted as the other party is also tapping away furiously. Scrolling your phone screen even as you read this? Welcome to the club.

A recent Motorola study on phone-life balance says 65% of Indians in the 16-65 age group feel the phone is their best friend while 47% would much rather spend time with phone than with the one they love. Around 57% feel compelled to perpetually check phones, and 77% are so emotionally dependent that they panic if they think they have lost their smartphone. The study was conducted among 4,418 smartphone users aged 16-65 in the US, Brazil, France and India.


There’s no counter to the argument that the mobile phone has become an extension of the self. Ironically, it is also true that browsing, chatting, social media networking and 24x7 alerts thrown up by smartphones are cutting into the work and “me-time” of professionals and businessmen alike.

Saugata Gupta, MD & CEO of Marico, never switches off his mobile phone. For the past 10 years or so, he has never been “out of office”, so to speak.He takes two or three short breaks during the year with his family and on these holidays, he gets up an hour earlier so he can respond to a few important mails and make some calls. The rest of the day, he checks his mails only once an hour.
However, a few business leaders feel a holiday is synonymous with going on a digital detox. “In my view, a mobile detox is more important than heading to a health spa,” says Harsh Goenka, chairman of RPG Enterprises who makes it a point to check his phone only once or twice a day on holidays. At work, he says, he keeps his phone on silent mode in his pocket during meetings. At night, the phone is strictly outside the bedroom.

Prabir Jha, president and global chief people officer of Cipla, is digitally unavailable once he leaves office. “My post-office hours are switch off times. Music, humour, conversations, reading, cooking...anything but office! And my weekend siestas are my turbochargers,” says Jha.

Some organisations too are recognising the disruptive effect technology has had on personal lives. Many line managers now do not insist on immediate responses to emails during weekends and holidays. “We recognise that different people have different time preferences for reflections and emails in a globalised work eco-system. However, we (at Cipla) do not expect an immediate response. That takes a lot of the pressure off,” says Jha.

Jha has managed what most Indians don’t — phone-life balance. Dr Nancy Etcoff, who teaches psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, which partnered in the Motorala study, says it’s time to honestly assess how smartphones are affecting our lives.. “Smartphone use can become misuse when it stops enhancing lives and instead diverts our focus from the people and the activities we value,’’ she says. It is one step from there, she adds, for misuse to become addiction.

Etcoff says the smartphone industry itself should work towards weaning off users.‘Time Well Spent’, a non-profit initiative of design ethicist Tristan Harris, is a baby step in this direction. Harris, who quit Google to work full-time on reforming the “attention economy”, has founded the Center for Humane Technology and is currently working on “ethical persuasion” of technology companies to create less addictive apps and help steer users away from screens. Even Mark Zuckerbergwelcomed the idea and said time well spent would be a design goal for Facebook. Technology, he says, should be “on our team to help us live, feel, think and act freely”.

And that includes the freedom not to immediately look this up on your phone.

A cup of Life

                                                             A CUP OF LIFE

Hi, friends we are meeting after a long time.Right.Today my topic is something different. This year India lost many mesmerizing actors, matches and some students lost marks. Today as a fan of Sridevi and Shashi Kapoor I can truly tell that life is based on the good & bad deeds of our previous life.

Wellbeing emotional will make you cry. So we also lost a great scientist STEPHEN HAWKING.So let's learn something about this universal hero.   




Stephen William Hawking  (8 January 1942 – 14 March 2018) was an English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, author, and Director of Research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology within the University of Cambridge. His scientific works included a collaboration with Roger Penrose on gravitational singularity theorems in the framework of general relativity and the theoretical prediction that black holes emit radiation, often called Hawking radiation. Hawking was the first to set out a theory of cosmology explained by a union of the general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. He was a vigorous supporter of the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics                                                                             

Hawking was a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS), a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. In 2002, Hawking was ranked number 25 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. He was the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge between 1979 and 2009 and achieved commercial success with works of popular science in which he discusses his own theories and cosmology in general. His book A Brief History of Time appeared on the British Sunday Times best-seller list for a record-breaking 237 weeks.


Hawking had a rare early-onset slow-progressing form of motor neuron disease (also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis "ALS" or Lou Gehrig's disease) that gradually paralyzed him over the decades. Even after the loss of his speech, he was still able to communicate through a speech-generating device, initially through the use of a hand-held switch, and eventually by using a single cheek muscle. He died on 14 March 2018 at the age of 76.


Ok so having this much information of him he also gave some guest roles in many cartoons.


SIMPSONS-

Stephen gave his first guest appearance in a cartoon SIMPSONS. He himself gave the voice in the cartoon in his cartoon character.

FUTURAMA-

Stephen also gave his role in futurama in 2008 in the episode of the beast with a billion backs.

STAR TREK-

Stephen gave his role in star trek the next generation in the 152 & the 153rd episode.

AND MORE.............


Stephen Hawking was indeed an inspiration for us. Remain tuned with my other blogs till then goodbye.

      DIGITAL INDIA: TRANSFORMING INDIA            INTO A KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY

😎India is a country which has experienced vigorous transformation in each sphere of its development throughout her journey till date.We have experienced ourselves learning in gurukuls and shiksagrahas with elementary table sized blackboards ,and now educating the future youth on the tablets itself .Education sector in India surely has come a far way down the road from where it begin. Indian education system has been waiting since a long lime to manifest the needs,desires and importantly the objectives of current education standards which the multitude urges for.

Digitalization in its best face is seen as a massive step that has even foreshadowed internet itself.With the evolution of new techniques like smart class,tablet and e-learning classroom software: digitalization has defined itself as a means of both,liberation and conventional teaching methods.The basic aim of education system is to facilitate each intellectual with knowledge and digital India makes this aim realizable to an epical extend.
