IBM’s short film depicting a stick boy playing with his pet atom.
Researchers made the animation using a scanning tunnelling microscope to move thousands of carbon monoxide molecules. Individual molecules are repeatedly rearranged to show a boy dancing, throwing a ball and bouncing on a trampoline.
IBM has honed atomic-manipulation technique after years of researching atomic data storage.
We have a Walk to School campaign which encourages pupils to walk to school more often. The campaign includes the popular Walk on Wednesday (WOW) scheme, which helps to promote regular walking among pupils.
Once a month we get a WOW certificate and a badge as a reward and encouragement. In January 2013 when I got my badge I was surprised and happy to see it. The badge was of TajMahal picture, when I showed it to my mum she was also very happy. Living in London and getting a TajMahal badge is like India in London. We have 2 TajMahal badges, my younger brother also got one.
The Taj Mahal badge was designed by Matthew Ord, age 8, Albrighton Primary School.
I have also visited the TajMahal in real when I was 3 years old. I don’t remember much but I do remember the Taj Mahal.
Got myself enrolled into Recorder lessons. Teacher explained to us what recorder is and I found it very interesting, so decided to give it a go.
Recorder lessons are on every Wednesday for half an hour. Today was my first lesson, I enjoyed very much. Got a recorder to take home for more practise. They taught us practise A and B. How to hold the recorder and where to put fingers and stuff. My recorder is made of plastic from Yamaha company.
When I showed the recorder to my mum she said it is Flute in Hindi it is called Bansuri. My mum is actually not wrong, I Google it and found that both look same. Flute and Recorder are from same family.
Recorder: The recorder is a woodwind musical instrument of the family known as fipple flutes or internal duct flutes—whistle like instruments which include the tin whistle. The recorder is end-blown and the mouth of the instrument is constricted by a wooden plug, known as a block or fipple. It is distinguished from other members of the family by having holes for seven fingers (the lower one or two often doubled to facilitate the production of semitones) and one for the thumb of the uppermost hand. The bore of the recorder is tapered slightly, being widest at the mouthpiece end and narrowest towards the foot on Baroque recorders, or flared almost like a trumpet at the bottom on Renaissance instruments. Recorders can be made out of wood, plastic or ivory.
The sound of the recorder is remarkably clear and sweet, partly because of the lack of upper harmonics and predominance of odd harmonics in the sound.
Today I am going to write about my first earning. It is not a big amount, just 40p, but I am very excited and happy as this is my first earning and also can be called my first business deal. I will remember it throughout my life.
Now, how I made this earning? I made it by selling one of my "walk once a week" badge. I had two "WoW Japan" badges, because my brother also gets the same one from school.
I was showing my badge to somebody when my friend came up to me and ask me "if I can have that badge" and said he will give me 40p for it. I found this deal very exciting and I agreed. He gave me 40p and I gave him the Japan badge. Now I am thinking of making more money with all my duplicate badges. But my mum said “NO”, she said having the badges are also very important thing. I should collect all of them and should not sell my brothers badges, as they all belong to him. So I’ll listen to my mum and stop my business here. But my mum is very happy with my trading.
I gave 20p to my little brother, his share of the deal. We both put the money in our piggybank.
Disney Pixar have released a new trailer for forthcoming animated movie Monsters University. Monsters University is an upcoming American 3D computer-animated comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Monsters University is the prequel to 2001’s Monsters, Inc. Dan Scanlon is the director and Kori Rae is the producer.
Plot: Set about 10 years before the events of Monsters, Inc., serious yet intelligent 17-year-old Michael "Mike" Wazowski (voiced by Billy Crystal) is extremely eager to start college, where he is majoring in scaring. Things don’t go quite as planned, though, when 18-year-old James P. "Sulley" Sullivan (voiced by John Goodman) happens to be in the same fraternity as him. Sulley shows to be almost the exact opposite of Mike: playful, all-brawn, and most notably large. He is also majoring in scaring, however, and they soon become enemies in a rivalry that will tear their worlds apart, including going to jail, but ultimately brings them together.
The soundtrack to Monsters University has been written by Randy Newman. The American singer-songwriter won an Academy Award for his song “If I Didn’t Have You” from Monsters, Inc.
My favourite “Shaun The Sheep” cartoon character is set to get the big screen treatment, with a movie to be released in 2015. Movie is in making and I am excited. I just love the way intelligent shaun helps everybody on the farm.
Shaun the Sheep is a British stop-motion animated children’s television series produced by Aardman Animations, and commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), a constituent member of the consortium of German public-broadcasting institutions, ARD.
It first aired in the UK on CBBC in March 2007. The show consists of 80 episodes in 2 series, and the third series aired on 25 February 2013. The series has also inspired its own spin-off show, Timmy Time, which is aimed at younger viewers. The show has enjoyed success all over the world and has been broadcast in 180 countries around the world.
Major characters
Shaun is the main protagonist of the series and the leader of the flock. He is a clever sheep and keeps his head. He has a good friendship with Bitzer.
Bitzer is the farmer’s long-suffering sheepdog and a good friend to Shaun. Bitzer does his best to keep Shaun’s pals out of trouble. He wears a blue beanie hat, and like his compatriot Gromit, he acts very much human.
Shirley can be described as an eating machine. She’s so big that she often gets stuck and needs the other sheep to push, pull or even sling-shot her out of trouble, even using heavy equipment at times.
Timmy is Shaun’s cousin. He may be the baby of the flock, but is often at the center of things. Luckily his mum is always there to keep him safe. But sometimes she is not capable of it.
Timmy’s Mother wears curlers in her hair, and is a bit careless about maternal duties, even using Timmy once as some sort of a paint brush. But when her offspring goes astray, she is inconsolable until he is safely back in her care. She is also Shaun’s aunt.
The Flock are the one big happy, if slightly dopey, family: The sheep like to play and create mischief together, though it’s usually Shaun and Bitzer who sort out the resulting mess. Like typical sheep, they tend to follow each other.
The Farmer is a drum and bass-loving rural farmer (voiced by John Sparkes) who runs the farm with Bitzer at his side. He is completely oblivious to the human-like intelligence (or even the stupidity) of his flock. His disastrous attempts at dating are an ongoing joke of the series.
The Pigs are the main antagonists of first series and secondary antagonists of series two. They’re always trying to antagonize the Sheep and get them into trouble. They are, however, scared of Bitzer, who puts them in line. They are bullies to Shaun and his flock, and they got told off in "Pig Trouble" (Series 2) by the farmer.
Pidsley is the Farmer’s cat, a minor character in series 1 and a major antagonist in series 2. He desires to be the sole recipient of the Farmer’s attention, and is jealous of Bitzer. He dislikes the sheep, thinking of them as stupid and beneath him.
I saw the trailer of All Stars movie on TV today. I was interested because it had the boy from the movie Horrid Henry (Theo Stevenson.

All Stars movie will release on May 3rd 2013 in UK. ALL STARS is a funny, heart-warming, spectacular 3D roller coaster ride with eye feasting dance sequences! Also featuring a stellar support cast including Ashley Walters, Hugh Dennis, Kevin Bishop, Simon Farnaby, Mark Heap, Kimberley Walsh and John Barrowman.
Storyline – Two kids look to throw an ambitious dance show in order to save their struggling youth centre.
