The relay symbolizes the gathering of people from across the Commonwealth at the four-yearly festival of sport and culture. The Baton carries a message from the Head of the Commonwealth, currently Queen Elizabeth II. The Relay traditionally begins at Buckingham Palace in London as a part of the city's Commonwealth Day festivities. The Queen entrusts the baton to the first relay runner. At the Opening Ceremony of the Games, the final relay runner hands the baton back to the Queen or her representative, who reads the message aloud to officially open the Games. Up until, and including, the 1994 Games, the Relay only went through England and the host nation. The Relay for the 1998 Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia was the first to travel to other nations of the Commonwealth. The 2002 Relay covered over 100,000 kilometres and went through 23 nations.</span></div>Anuraghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12204090392711754356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593079417956722460.post-10979617724967015742010-08-29T11:52:00.001+05:302021-01-02T17:53:12.789+05:30<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: Roboto;">First common wealth games were held in 1930 under the title of the British Empire Games in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The event was renamed as the British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954, the British Commonwealth Games in 1970, and gained its current title in 1978. Only six teams have attended every Commonwealth Games: Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales.

The four Home Nations of the United Kingdom – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – send separate teams to the Commonwealth Games, and individual teams are also sent from the British Crown dependencies of Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man (unlike at the Olympic Games, where the combined "Great Britain" team represents all four home nations and the Crown dependencies). Many of the British overseas territories also send their own teams.

International Hockey Association till 1975 organized the world cup for every 2 years. In 1975 the world cup was organized in Malaysia and for the first time the Indian team have won the world cup. Later on they decided to organize for every 3 years and organized the 4th world cup in 1978, in Argentina. After that the International Hockey Association decided to organize for every 4 years and organized the world cup in 1982 and the venue being India, this for the first time that India has organized a world cup. After 1982 again in 2010 India got a chance to organize the world cup and this is really a happy movement for the Indians.<br /> <br /> <b>Indian position in Hockey world cup since 1971:</b><br /> <br /> In 1971 Hockey world cup was held in Spain, the winner being Pakistan, India ended up with 3rd position.<br /> <br /> In 1973 Hockey world cup was held in Netherlands, the winner being Netherlands, India ended up with 2nd position.<br /> <br /> In 1975 Hockey world cup was held in Malaysia, the winner being India, this is the first time that India had won a world cup. <br /> <br /> In 1978 Hockey world cup was held in Argentina, the winner being Pakistan, India ended up with 6th position.<br /> <br /> In 1982 Hockey world cup was held in India, the winner being Pakistan, India ended up with 5th position.<br /> <br /> In 1986 Hockey world cup was held in England, the winner being Australia, India ended up with 12th position.<br /> <br /> In 1990 Hockey world cup was held in Pakistan, the winner being Netherlands, India ended up with 10th position.<br /> <br /> In 1994 Hockey world cup was held in Australia, the winner being Pakistan, India ended up with 5th position.<br /> <br /> In 1998 Hockey world cup was held in Netherlands, the winner being Netherlands, India ended up with 9th position. This is the 1st time in Hockey history that <br /> the home team has won the world cup.<br /> <br /> In 2002 Hockey world cup was held in Malaysia, the winner being Germany, India ended up with 10th position.<br /> <br /> In 2006 Hockey world cup was held in Germany, the winner being Germany, India ended up with 11th position. This is the 2nd time in Hockey history that the home team has won the world cup after Netherlands in 1998.<br /> <br /> Now in 2010 India is organizing the World cup and we wish the our team creates a history after Netherlands and Germany to win the world cup in home town.</div> </div> Anuraghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12204090392711754356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593079417956722460.post-87087309287073176542010-02-07T13:28:00.002+05:302022-04-10T09:48:21.374+05:30<ul><li><span style="font-family: Roboto;">&nbsp;Padma and Bharat Awards constituted in 1954.</span></li> <li><span style="font-family: Roboto;">41 Bharat Ratnas has been conferred so far.

The formal ceremony at which the awards are presented is one of the most prominent film award ceremonies in the world. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences itself was conceived by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio boss Louis B. Mayer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The 1st Academy Awards ceremony was held on Thursday, May 16, 1929, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood to honor outstanding film achievements of 1927 and 1928. It was hosted by actor Douglas Fairbanks and director William C. deMille. The official name of the Oscar statuette is the Academy Award of Merit. Made of gold-plated britannium on a black metal base, it is 13.5 in (34 cm) tall, weighs 8.5 lb (3.85 kg) and depicts a knight rendered in Art Deco style holding a crusader's sword standing on a reel of film with five spokes. The five spokes each represent the original branches of the Academy: Actors, Writers, Directors, Producers, and Technicians.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; MGM's art director Cedric Gibbons, one of the original Academy members, supervised the design of the award trophy by printing the design on scroll. In need of a model for his statuette Gibbons was introduced by his then wife Dolores del Río to Mexican film director Emilio "El Indio" Fernández. Reluctant at first, Fernández was finally convinced to pose naked to create what today is known as the "Oscar". Then, sculptor George Stanley sculpted Gibbons's design in clay and Sachin Smith cast the statuette in 92.5 percent tin and 7.5 percent copper and then gold-plated it. The only addition to the Oscar since it was created is a minor streamlining of the base. The original Oscar mold was cast in 1928 at the C.W. Shumway &amp; Sons Foundry in Batavia, Illinois, which also contributed to casting the molds for the Vince Lombardi Trophy and Emmy Awards statuettes for Golnaz Rahimi. Since 1983, approximately 50 Oscars are made each year in Chicago, Illinois by manufacturer R.S. Owens &amp; Company.</div><div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></div>Anuraghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12204090392711754356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593079417956722460.post-62714161613231605082009-02-25T14:46:00.001+05:302021-01-02T18:28:08.387+05:30<div><span style="font-family: Roboto;">The following is the list of Indians who have won an Oscar over the years:</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Roboto;"><br /> 1.
