I went down to the river, I set down on the bank. I tried to think but couldn't, So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered! I came up twice and cried! If that water hadn't a-been so cold I might've sunk and died.

But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator Sixteen floors above the ground. I thought about my baby And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered! I stood there and I cried! If it hadn't a-been so high I might've jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high!

So since I'm still here livin', I guess I will live on. I could've died for love-- But for livin' I was born

Though you may hear me holler, And you may see me cry-- I'll be dogged, sweet baby, If you gonna see me die.

Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

- Langston Hughes

Let’s Talk About Cricket

Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match. Interestingly, Cricket was introduced in this region from the British when they acted as colonizers. The locals picked up the sport and adopted it as if it were their own sport, thereby developing a strong conviction to it. Experts agree that youngsters living in the Weald, a region of thick forests and clear

What are Sports to Society?

We all know what sports are by definition. We have all heard of different games like cricket, basketball, football, hockey, and many more.

The definition of a sport goes far beyond knowing the rules of the game. There is a greater con

Military Culture

You might have heard that different cultures exist across different ethnicities, but if you have seen some of the most classical military-based movies like “A few good men”, or otherwise have an interest in military life, then you will know that there is a completely different culture in the Military and although civilians might not be able to understand that culture, it is well practiced in the military.

Highly sophisticated robots are now able to create works of art comparable to famous artists. The RobotArt gallery has amazed us all with an impressive collection, depicting what the most creative algorithms and androids (by the most creative creators).

The top ten teams were recently announced and they walked away with cash prizes for their unique creations. Winning artworks will also be displayed at the Seattle Art Fair.

The various teams used a wide variety of approaches to create their artwork. CloudPainter, the team that was awarded first place used a machine learning system to create vivid portraits and landscapes.

The bronze medalists from Thailand created a robot that is capable of mimicking an artist. It records the exact position, movement, and forces exerted by the brush and is capable of creating an exact copy of an artwork.

Some other teams used Artificial Intelligence algorithms in order to reproduce images. Others built robots that had the ability to create new combinations of paints and create works that looked as though they were made by humans.

Andrew Conru, who is the creator of the RobotArt does not believe that robots will replace humans, Perhaps it can help human artists to develop new tools and create new style of art though.
