			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The research on origin of chess was concentrated only on written investigation as well as resulting in archeological evidence which opinions about the origin of the game (chess). The evidences that are researched and found were available with no usage of detailed conventional theory. Hence, the question regarding the origin of chess was still in open stage. Even some assumptions like divinization models, mathematical calculations were assumed for the game basis.  Many scholars in the chess history solved the origin of chess classification issue but only after the agreement of models relationships which already exists. With the help of some theories assumption, chess was invented by an individual with its complexity.</p>
<p>Another significant step towards the origin of chess was found to be better after the invention by IGK2 (initiative group konigstein) during the year 1991. The members of the group looked up for the proper evidence and came with three different elements. They are 1) king, 2) soldiers/pawns 3) other pieces. It is clearly stated about the three elements that these are the stems from several sources and they are combined together, used up to date. This method has to be done by Silk Road merchants who had some experiences in merging with elements from several sources. It has been suggested that the king element and the behavior was selected from the Chinese style game, then the pawn/soldiers were selected from the Indian games and finally the other elements (bishop, horse, elephants) were selected from the astrological style methods. Some of the alternative moves by the other elements were purely selected from the TIC TAC TOE game…</p>
<p>It doesnt matters which theory is valid and which theory is selected for the origin of game but the way how it has accepted and spreading of the game alone is very important. The foremost predecessors of the chess game were started during the 6<sup>th</sup> century AD. Then it has spread to Persia. The game was taken control by Muslim world as soon as the Arabs starting ruling Persia and it has crossed to the southern part of the European countries. Chess game was started in Europe to involve only from the 15<sup>th</sup> century and during the 19<sup>th</sup> century; the foremost chess championship tournament series was started (1886). There was a rapid change in the chess game as well as found to be great leaps towards the game during the 20<sup>th</sup> century and world chess federation (FIDE) was started and still continued with it as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Christianity religion can be said as the monotheistic religion which is fully about the teachings as well as life of Jesus Christ. Christians have a strong belief that Jesus is not a normal person and are considering him as a god (son of god), god born as a human etc. So, Christians named Jesus as messiah or the Christ.</p>
<p><strong>History of Christianity:</strong></p>
<p>The name Christianity has been given to the Christians from the religious practice and humanity with the Jesus Christ. The history says that the Christianity religion has started during the 1<sup>st</sup> AD itself. Bible plays an important role with the Christians and the main theme on the bible was about Jesus Christ being a son of god all the time. Christian populations are high when it is compared in the whole world with up to 1.5 billion followers. The foremost Christianity was started in Jerusalem during the 1<sup>st</sup> century and slowly it started to spread in many places like Mesopotamia, Greece, turkey and Arab places etc. Then, by the 15<sup>th</sup> century, that is on “age of exploration”, Christianity was found in all the parts of the world and now they are the largest religion in the world with millions of followers.</p>
<p>The whole history says that the Christianity religions had theological disputes as well as weathered schisms which resulted in several churches all over the world. The main branches as well as the largest branches regarding the churches are protestant, Roman Catholic Church and east orthodox church. As being said that Jesus Christ is a son of god was born to a women named Mary who is a Jewish during the 6-4 BC. He (Jesus Christ) was raised in the place called Galilee. It was been claimed further that at the age of 30, Jesus had started his ministry which also includes discipline recruitment. This alone regarded the statement to Jesus Christ that he is the son of god. Jesus Christ discipline recruitment lead all people in a smooth life and Pontius Pilate, the roman governor disliked Jesus activities and planned to kill him. Jesus was buried after some crucifixions and even at the time of his last breath, Jesus Christ prayed to apologize people who have involved in this activity. Hence initially he was been called as a son of god and after his death, all followers have started thinking Jesus Christ as a god and still they are doing this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The origin of tennis was been a matter of dispute. From one side, it is said that the Greeks, Romans as well as Egyptians have started playing the precursor of the tennis game. Descriptions or the drawing of any similar to tennis like games discovery were not been achieved or discovered but the Arab words from the Egypt have been considered as the proper evidence. From one of the theories, it says that the name tennis has been derived from the tinnis which is an Egyptian town and the word racquet is extracted from the Arabic word “rahat”.</p>
<p>Apart from these two words, the foremost origin on tennis was started only on during 11<sup>th</sup> or 12<sup>th</sup> century. Tennis game was named as “Jeu de pauma” and this French word mean “game on the hand”. Many people have even argued that tennis has also been derived from the French word “tenez” and it mean “to take it” and hence it has been said that the game is being served by one player to other player on the other end.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Popularity towards the game began to bring innovation:</strong></p>
<p>Later on, tennis game started to become very popular and many have started to play in the courts, self play with the help of walls etc. Playing this game with holding the racquet by bare hands was very uncomfortable with the people and glove has been invented to solve for this issue. Tennis ball was made with cork which is rapped with it or wad of hairs, wool, leathers etc. Game created interesting results and also it became very popular on the western side of the France and its near countries. Unfortunately, Louis (IV) and pope were not successful to ban the game. So, the game started spreading to England. Henry 3 as well as Henry 4 gave best for the promotional activities on spreading up the game.</p>
<p>A wooden frame type of racquet from the sheep gut was used very commonly from the year 1500 since the ball is made up of cork and weighed up to 2 to 3 ounces. All tennis courts which were used in early days are not similar as the lawn courts used in current days. Hampton court which is built in England during the year 1625 is still being used till date. The game is included in the indoor type which includes up to 4 players with a net in the middle of the court.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The usage of showing the middle finger was started in the western culture (otherwise known as obscene hand gesture) which means “fuck you/ off”. This is to insult others by just lifting up of the middle finger and all other fingers closed up with the palms. In the ancient roman writing, this activity is said as “digitus impudicus” which means impudent of a finger. The reference of this activity said that it is for insulting other people in the style of ancient Greek comedy. Greece</p>
<p>Aristophanes named Adam Sandler started this middle finger showing activity with an imagination of penis and making it as a crude joke. Even there was an argument from the anthropologists that the finger shall be the “phallic aggressive” variant gesture which was used by the primates. This activity was started using everywhere in all types of cultures due to geographic influence of Greco Roman civilization as well as Roman empire civilization.</p>
<p>Another origin of giving the middle finger/ gesture was found in the Mediterranean world during the first century where the digitus impudicus was found to be one of the several methods in diversion of this threat of all evil eyes. Giving the finger in the intension to insult others can be the one of violations in many places/ cultures but the origin of giving the middle finger was started before 2000 years itself. The main reason for which it made a banned activity because it alone threatens the opposite person but also makes them an intension in sexual inferior. Hence from this aspect, showing up the finger has become the universal sign of disrespect. However, it is not universal. In order to express to insult, several other signs also have been used in many parts of the world.</p>
<p>Even in one of the surveys says that majority of the adults are using “fuck-off”, “fuck you” etc in order to revert them back to insult. Some people do not use these words; instead they just show their middle finger with other fingers closed in the palm which exactly resembles like penis with gonads. Since the origin was 2000 years back, this activity became a common one and almost in all parts of the world, it is used in a different style. For example, in Russian culture, the concept is showing their bent elbow to others for insulting. In Canada, its being exposed by reverse “V” sign with fingers. Similarly, many other styles of gestures are being used.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Peter, peter pumpkin eater is one of the English nursery rhymes and it consists of round folk song index numbers-13497. This rhyme was first published in Britain and it has not been existed till the late 18<sup>th</sup> century or during the early 19<sup>th</sup> century. Then, during the year 1825, the rhyme was published in Boston, Massachusetts at mother gooses quarto or otherwise known as the complete melodies. However, some of the words which are collected from the place called Aberdeen,  Scotland published during the year 1868 had some of the following words:</p>
<p>Peter, my neeper</p>
<p>Had a wife</p>
<p>And he couldnt keep her</p>
<p>He pat her I the wa</p>
<p>And lat a mice eat her</p>
<p>Peter was been a poor man and he married an unfaithful women. It seems that his wife keep on cheating peter continuously and hence had a plan to stop all these from his wife. The solution for this comes with the chastity belt which is the pumpkin shell. Chastity belt can be said as the metal underwear (with pair) along with a lock as well as a key. Hence, no one can enter in to the womens private regions except the person who so ever has the key. So, that person will be peter (her husband).</p>
<p>After this, it resulted that all the above included words have adapted in the rhyme and thought in America. All these verses can also be said as the older rhyme themes of Eeper weeper. Some of the popular versions include the words on the rhyme is as follows:</p>
<p>Peter, peter pumpkin eater.</p>
<p>Had a wife but could not keep her.</p>
<p>He put her in a pumpkin shell</p>
<p>And he kept her very well there</p>
<p>Peter, peter pumpkin eater</p>
<p>Had another wife and did not love her</p>
<p>Peter learned to read and spell</p>
<p>And then he loved her very well.</p>
<p>From the above lyrics, it clearly says that the words refer to somebodys wifes murder. This rhyme has reached to British children only at a recent stage and only from this rhyme; childrens in the British places came to know what is meant by pumpkin. Even majority of the British populations have never tried eating pumpkin and even they are not aware of the vegetable pumpkin.</p>
<p>Almost majority of the people would have grown up by saying rhymes such as twinkle, twinkle little star, jack and Jill, peter, peter pumpkin eater etc. All these rhymes have been started with some of the historical events along with the gossips. Hence, still rhymes are learned and even today small kids are learning all these rhymes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bossa nova can be said as one of the styles in Brazilian music and they have been popularized by Vincius de moraes, Jiao Gilberto and Antonio Carlos jobim. This style of Brazilian music was started acquiring in large number of people which the talents are shown by college students as well as young musicians. Though this Bossa Nova started reaching to large number of people only before six year (1958 to 1963), large number of songs was contributed from the standard jazz repertoire.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>History and origin of Bossa nova:</strong></p>
<p>Bossa Nova musical style was entirely involved from the samba but they are in lesser percussive and more in complex harmonically. The Bossa Nova foremost origin was from Rio De Janerio, upscale neighborhood in the Brazilian music history and sambas origin is from favelas in Rio. During the year 1956 in Brazil, the first Bossa Nova was developed and the first song of the Bossa Nova style is named as “Bim- bom”. Another reason for which the Bossa Nova style became very popular is because of the recording done by Elizite Cardoso which was composed by the young musician Antonio Carlos Jobim and the lyrics was written by Vincius de moraes. Then the songs were released by Gilberto.</p>
<p>The foremost film with the style of Bossa Nova music is named as Black Orpheus and the movie was released by Gilberto. This movie made a great move and attained its popularity throughout the Brazil. Then from Brazil, it reached to North America where North American jazz music directors had a chance in listening up to this music style. After Elizite Cardosos recording, another two young talented persons named Stan Getz as well as Charlie Byrds recording to the Bossa Nova style music was released and achieved its worldwide popularity during the year 1963. As it is noticed that the recording plays an important role for the popularity of the music, they have started to release more number of songs by the same year itself.</p>
<p>Later on during the early years of 1990s, several European artists also joined with the Bossa Nova style by just mixing certain music and naming them as techno bossa, bossa electrica etc. After attaining certain popularity with the style of this Brazilian music, the term Bossa Nova was simply called Bossa and several singers like Babel Gilberto, daughter of Gilberto etc got introduced. All these aspects made Bossa Nova to attain its popularity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pi can be said as one of the mathematical calculations that are very well known to the human beings. Many civilizations had their own style of calculations for a particular apparent stream numbers which does not have any patterns on it. The origin of pi was from the Egyptians and also they have named it as pi during 1650 BC with the calculation of (4/3) ^4 that is approximately 3.1604. Even the Babylonians calculated pi in a different mode which is (25/8) that is more than .50% of the normal pi value from the Egyptians. Then the first calculation of pi in the fraction mode was done by the Greeks with the value of (22/7).</p>
<p>Then, since Persians are the greatest enemy to Greeks and found their pi value in a different way. That is (3*2) ^18 sides. With the help of this polygon, they found 2pi is approximately 6.28318 where 1 pi is 3.14159.</p>
<p>The symbol of the pi is represented as <strong>?</strong><strong>. </strong>This symbol was first represented by William Jones, a welsh mathematician during the year 1706. The symbol <strong>?</strong><strong> </strong>has become a most important symbol that is used in physics as well as in mathematical constants. Even several formulaes include <strong>?</strong> symbol in engineering, science etc. <strong>?</strong><strong> </strong>can be said as an irrational number where it cant be expressed with fraction digits. For example, if x/y are two fractional numbers where x and y are called as integers. The decimal representation of the result has no end and it can be calculated with no end. It can also be said as a transcended numbers which mean that the numbers with no sequence of expressions like square root, powers and sums etc. This <strong>?</strong><strong> </strong>was the late achievement in the mathematics history and found only during the 19<sup>th</sup> century. There were loads of efforts on determining the value of pi more accurately as well as acceptable criteria in all parts of the world.</p>
<p>Even in the United States of America, pi day is been celebrated on March 14<sup>th</sup> each year and they are been followed in all schools by celebrating with pi symbol dish plates as well as a decimal symbol expressions appearing on it. To make it more special, Kate Bush released an album related with <strong>?</strong><strong> </strong>on November 7<sup>th</sup> 2005 with the beginning word of “3.14” in the song. The album name is Aerial.</p>
