Most people don’t read the editor’s note, but if you're reading it, hooray! This is infused with happiness and good vibes. Moving on, this note is to tell you about our newspaper. My grade started writing this newspaper as a project for our chapters, Reading Newspapers 1 and 2. We were assigned topics, given choices, got designated roles and all the lot. We had an interesting experience doing this project. We had big ups and low downs. Most of us had very little experience writing articles and general journalism. So we had to start from scratch. Now, all of us can write at least a properly structured article if not a good one. Progress huh? After learning to write articles, we went and wrote our 1st drafts. Most of us had to write 2 drafts as our 1st was inadequate. Only one of us, surprise-surprise, Vibha didn’t have to write another draft. This magazine has a variety of articles: from an experiential-opinion article on football to a profound article on CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) to a deep article on pollution. If you are looking for a magazine with different types of articles, let me tell you my reader, you have come to the right place. These articles are unique and thought provoking, so I hope you enjoy reading the magazine. If you’re reading this part, give yourself a cookie. And for this accomplishment your day will get 75% better. I hope this has not given you a headache (sorry if it has). Ananya Pabbisetty (Head Editor) The Chatter Box Teacher's Note Dear Grade 7, We all know how important facts are. We discuss about facts, opinions and perspectives almost every day. Nothing is 'truth' anymore. It's just another perspective on the same story. Although some contemporary scholars, lost in the labyrinth of nomenclature, decided to call our times as post-truth era, we all know that the conflict between objective truth and personal truths is an age old one. And I'm happy that the spirit of this conflict dwells in our class too. Specifically for us, living in the age of social media, we often get washed over by endless rush of stories that masquerade as the objective truth. We can no longer depend on news corporations and politicians to deliver information that is untainted by personal or political agenda. Hence, it is crucial that we train ourselves to identify the fine line that runs between a fact and an agenda. Working on this magazine has been challenging not just for you, but for me as well. I have learnt a lot from the class and each one of you has been truly inspiring. I'm proud that I got to work alongside you all on this writing journey and I hope you enjoyed this process too. Congratulations, Grade 7! We have moved mountains. Best wishes, Anu Vensila Source: cutoutandkeep.net The Chatter Box 5 Environment V I B H A V Religious festivals: In favour of the environment, or not? Festivals are a joyous time for celebrations. They provide happiness, fun, and an opportunity to get together with family and friends. But how eco- friendly are they? Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is the Hindu festival of light and sound. It is also a major time for friends and families to get together, exchange gifts, and eat lots of traditional sweets and savouries. Sadly, this festival is known to cause severe air and soil pollution. We started bursting crackers during Diwali only Water pollution is also caused by the festivities of after gunpowder was first imported from China. In Ganesh Chaturthi. This festival marks the birth of the past, when Diwali was first celebrated, lamps Lord Ganesha and lasts from 1 to 11 days, were used to light the houses.

These are only a few problems caused by religious festivals. However, these are also the kind of Diwali is also known to cause soil pollution. The problems that we can solve by ourselves, if only all chemicals present in the crackers mix with the of us are willing to work towards the protection of soil, changing it chemically. Plants, trees, and the environment. small animals that live underground have been affected badly. Plant and trees also take in the chemicals present in the soil. This may cause deficiencies, and perhaps, eventually, death. Animals may eat these infected plants and fall ill. Because there is not much rain at this time, the pollutants cannot get washed away. Another well-known festival to cause soil pollution is Holi. The aim of the festival is to get the city colourful. This is fulfilled by people of all ages as they throw colours on each other. When the chemicals in the colours combine with the soil, it can be fatal to all forms of life. Holi also leads to water pollution. The chemicals mix in the water bodies closest to the area of celebration. The chemicals are then taken in by all organisms, in different ways. Fish, and other water dwelling creatures that live in the polluted water and can get infected. Other life forms may drink the water directly or eat a creature that is infected by it.

This campaign was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on October 2, 2014 to honour the Vision of a Clean Country by Mahatma Gandhi.

    The Finance and Production of Independent Film and Television in the UK: A Critical Introduction Vital Statistics General Population: 64.1m Size: 241.9 km sq GDP: £1.9tr (€2.1tr) Film1 Market share of UK independent films in 2015: 10.5% Number of feature films produced: 201 Average visits to cinema per person per year: 2.7 Production spend per year: £1.4m (€1.6) TV2 Audience share of the main publicly-funded PSB (BBC): 72% Production spend by PSBs: £2.5bn (€3.2bn) Production spend by commercial channels (excluding sport): £350m (€387m) Time spent watching television per day: 193 minutes (3hrs 13 minutes) Introduction This chapter provides an overview of independent film and television production in the UK. Despite the unprecedented levels of convergence that characterise the digital era, the UK film and television industries remain distinct for several reasons. The film industry is small and fragmented, divided across the two opposing sources of support on which it depends: large but uncontrollable levels of ‘inward-investment’ – money invested in the UK from overseas – mainly from the US, and low levels of public subsidy. By comparison, the television industry is large and diverse, its relative stability underpinned by a long-standing infrastructure of 1 Sources: BFI 2016: 10; ‘The Box Office 2015’ [market share of UK indie films] ; BFI 2016: 6; ‘Exhibition’ [cinema visits per per person]; BFI 2016: 6; ‘Exhibition’ [average visits per person]; BFI 2016: 3; ‘Screen Sector Production’ [production spend per year]. 2 Sources: Oliver & Ohlbaum 2016: 68 [PSB audience share]; Ofcom 2015a: 3 [PSB production spend]; Ofcom 2015a: 8.

  • Professional Sports Leagues Around the World and Sports Became a Business with Owners of Sports Teams on Lines Similar to Owners of Companies
    EAMSA 2015 Competitive Paper 1. Introduction: Elite sports, the way we know it, have had a large fan following for more than a 100 years. The modern Olympics starting in 1896 was a turning point in organized elite sports across different types of sporting events. As the Olympics have evolved they have taken in more sports under its umbrella. Individual sports have had their own specialized events at regular intervals. These include the annual Wimbledon tennis tournament that started in 1877 and the Football World Cup held every four years that had its first edition in 1930. Initially elite sports people were amateurs for whom sports was a past time and not a profession. Over the years professionalization of sports took place as sports people converted what used to be a past time into a full-fledged profession. This led to the formation of a large number of professional sports leagues around the world and sports became a business with owners of sports teams on lines similar to owners of companies. Sports as a business opened up different ways to monetize the purchasing power of sports fans and led to the creation of a variety of different revenue models. The advent of professional sports leagues happened in Europe and North America. Europe developed professional sports leagues in football that included the English Premier League (EPL), La Liga in Spain, Bundesliga in Germany and Serie A in Italy. In North America the professional sports leagues revolved around the sports popular in that part of the world. These included Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), National Football League (NFL), and National Hockey League (NHL).
