Sa vie et ses études
Il est né le 8 janvier 1942 à Oxford, Angleterre. Ses parents ont étudié la science. Donc, ce n’était pas vraiment une surprise quand il était attiré par la science en particulier mathématiques et physique.
Après avoir terminé ses études à l’école St.Albans, il voulait étudier les mathématiques à l’Université Oxford, malheureusement, ce sujet n’était pas disponible. Alors, il a poursuivi la physique.
Pendant ses études à l’Université Oxford, il a indiqué que ses études étaient faciles. Ses intérêts principaux étaient la musique classique et la science fiction. A la fin de ses année de collège, il est devenu en tant qu’un membre populaire.
Combats des défis
Quand il avait 21 ans, les médicins ont découvert qu’il souffrait de la sclérose latérale anyotrophyique (SLA). A cause de SLA, il avait de la difficulté à marcher sans être soutenu, son discours est devenu flou. Grâce à la motivation de M. Sciama, il n’a pas arrêté d’étudier.
Lors de une conférence, il a contesté le travail de M. Fred HOYLE. donc, on l’a apprécié pour avoir une réputation de brillance. Malgré ses défis de communication qu’il pouvait faire seulement avec le clavier d’ordinateur et un synthétiseur vocal, sa persistance et son attitude positive lui ont rendu ce succès.
Faits et Réalisations
Conclusion :
la confiance et la volonté qu’il a possédées étaient invincibles. La mort de ce Légende nous rend triste. Nous espèrons que les jeunes d’aujourd’hui pourront être motivés par sa vie remarquable.

DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST CHASE SCENE IN CASINO ROYALE???????
A very uniquely designed sport that warrants high level flexibility and remarkable athletic spirit originated in early nineties in France by Monsieur Raymond Belle and then the baton was transferred to his son Monsieur David Belle – Parkour
Designed in such a manner that will keep the audience truly on the edge, the philosophy of this sport was based on the reclamation of life – living life with all the natural processes which has helped in the formation of human body.
A Swiss architect developed a “parcours du combattant” – a military obstacle course which led to the development of civilian fitness trails and confidence courses that glorified exemplary characteristics like courage, calmness and confidence.
A study by Neuropsychiatrie de l’Enfance et de l’Adolescence (Neuropsychiatry of Childhood and Adolescence) in France found that tracers or people who perform this sport seek more excitement and leadership positions than gymnasts do.
A combination of climbing, skating, quadrupling, jumping and other flexible stunts completely stuns everyone when this sport is performed. It was a méthode naturelle that slowly evolved into a great fascinating art of strict and rigid discipline.
Several films have used this mechanism for beautiful and amazing stunt scenes which demonstrates amazing agility and flexibility in coming up with a very captivating show of clashes, smashes and dashes. Some names include Casino Royale, Dhoom 3 , Live Free or Die Twice , Prince of Persia and Taxi 2 .
Great amount of danger and life threatening risks are associated with this manly sport that just keeps flowing like a charged up electron moving at a rapid pace in order to spark up an electrifying experience. May be this personification may sound comparatively weaker than the real sport, I guess.
It was highly inspired and experimented during Second World War though this sport gained global acclaim only in the last few decades.
Many people in the great military force get equipped with this rare tactics of military combatting.
L’art du déplacement” (French for “the art of movement”) as this movement slowly was termed had beautiful dimensions of expertise through a creative entourage of various tricks and stunts which gave us huge benefits of sheer thrill .
On the contrary, it started raising questions on several aspects of safety, trespassing and increase of theft or crime with the spread of this great art.
Along with rigorous training and continuous practice, you slowly evolve as an expert in Parkour which is a rare decoration that is accorded to a qualified tracer. A tracer is a person who performs Parkour.
Jumping across barriers, climbing walls, jumping risky boundary walls etc all have philosophical interpretation as a fighter against all odds or as a person who overcomes all the challenges etc.
Watch the below link for the exciting chase
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOK3wSmktzQ
A person named Zahid Shah in Jammu and Kashmir had opened an academy in order to manifest all his people’s positive energy in this sport instead of using their energies in violent means.
With very minimalistic or no any equipment in general, this sport is really a very thrilling affair with jaw dropping sequences of dangerous stunts.
PARKOUR ………… an awesome movement …………………. a great celebration of the human body’s amazing energy and potential!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just Jump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When someone starts talking about FRENCH, the first thing that we think about is the beautiful city of Paris or the magnificent iconic world wonder, the Eiffel tower or “La Tour Eiffel” as the French call it ! To the world, French is a language of love, romance and anything beautiful and exotic, but French is not only about “ l’amour “. We all celebrate the true spirit of affection, attraction, admiration and boundless love with this language along with its rich history and inspiring literature, be it the French revolution or its amazing paintings or new wave films etc.
French is also a very potent and an extremely powerful language. There are amazing expressions and modes of communication which will make you a true blue fan of this international language. Added to it, are its fascinating ways of pronunciations adding flamboyance and style with a European flash. It is so true that we do not say the word like in French, but instead love. French is always LOVELY.
French remains one the most diplomatic languages of the world for it is one of the official language in 29 countries of the world and is spoken as the first language in Canada, parts of the US, western Switzerland, Belgium , Monaco and obviously in France !
Statistics
French is the fourth most widely spoken mother tongue in the European Union. Owing to its long history as an international language of commerce and literature, French is one of the official languages of international organisations including the United Nations, the European Union, the World Trade Organisation, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Olympic Committee and many others. It is also a working language of numerous non-profit organisations. This language is considered an asset for business owners and hence this makes French the most sought after foreign language ahead of German and Spanish. The cultural and economic credits of this language are never ending.
Despite French being such a versatile language, it is one of the easiest to learn and understand.
Like many other European languages it has the same Roman script as English. For an English speaking person, it would only take a maximum seven hundred hours of French training to talk and write French with almost no difficulty what so ever. There are countless opportunities that await a Francophone especially in our nation.
Carried Away By the Charm
The French language with its various credible facets and interesting probabilities can be truly stated as the language of the future!
I bet if any one wishes to enjoy a ride with this language, you will definitely be encapsulated with its magnetic charm and a beautiful odyssey of an international feel that may immerse you completely into a different world altogether .
Love French and you will be blown away by its presence ! ! !

The situation presently in France after the terrorist attack seems to be highly cautious and proactive in terms of defence and security measures. Now France being a major global leader in peacekeeping operations seems to sadly have been on the wrong side of revenge based terrorist attacks.
Coming to the economy, France has not been able to generate a lot of jobs post the recession and 2008 global crisis. The heavy taxation benefiting the social security welfare schemes, the rising costs of living as well as the unemployment rate standing at 11 percent presently has turned out to become a tragedy for the French government in employment and job creation
Regular strikes like the recent bus and transport strikes as well as workers strike in Airbus industry has overall let down people’s expectations in terms of their aspirations and ambitions to achieve or climb to top ladders in the job market.
Majorly in the regions of Ile de Paris as well as the North and the East region, the industries and agriculture related jobs generally thrive . Half of the French population are employed in tertiary private sector with a 33 percent in Govt sectors and 14 percent in the industries and agricultural domain. The tourism industry alone employs 1 million plus people in the sector.
As a leading industrial and a financial superpower with manufactures like Citroen, St Gobain , Total, Airbus, Sanofi, L’Oreal, Puegot, Alstom, Dassault, Lafarge and Schneider Electric etc along with financial chains like Societe Generale and BNP Paribas , France has an amazing list of top class enterprises credited with global acclaim. But either due to technical or global issues, sadly the skill gaps and the right employees for recruitment are not able to be injected into the workforce
The French people give high priority for skills and qualifications along with a major thrust of functional usage of the French language if foreigners or expats wish to apply for jobs. Work permit is easy for EU national except for a Croatian national, where a master’s equivalent is obligatory for granting the permit. Otherwise for other citizens they must be earning a certain specified amount in order to be granted a generous work permit time period.
Now certainly factors like more serious governance by politicians in reskilling the workforce by special apprenticeship initiatives akin to Obama’s policy in notably reducing the American unemployment rate as well as focussing on interesting mergers and tie ups coupled with negotiating strongly with the union leaders must be a continuous pursuit for fixing these issues.
Recently using the rare clause of 149 as per the French Constitution, the Prime Minister Mr Manuel Vals had passed a presidential decree in relaxing the controversial labour law which was propagating easy methods to hire and fire along with many other issues that had irritated the labour community.
Strikes are very common because of the union’s influence in France. Suitably these issues can only be fixed by willful and strong decision making demonstrated by aggressive political steps in initiating reforms along with tightening the grip in the job markets and education sectors by allowing flexible options in parallel with reduction in taxation.
The only good news is that the recent rating by the international credit rating agency Moody Investors Inc has come up with a positive statement emphasizing that the customers and the loan defaulters will not be affected with the present unemployment rate.
Despite the terrorist attacks , global economic meltdown, huge NPAs leading the banks to the brink of collapse, high unemployment rate, frequent labour strikes and European refugee crisis, France remains to be a superpower though weakened by external and internal distractions.
I have full confidence that France will come back to the top pedestal in global rankings once these creative and smart strategic steps are being taken care with a long term perspective.
Can Monsieur Hollande traverse this path and conquer the challenge ?
Let us wait and watch!!!!!!!!!!!

Maple which is a very famous shrub and a tree with its beautiful creation called sap is commonly found in the Canadian region of Quebec .
In the cold winter seasons in Canada amidst the sky with its Alaskan wilderness, the sap is generally collected from the tree and processed retaining its 100 percent purity.
It tastes like honey and adds very less calories to all the items when it is being mixed. It is rich in anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory substances, rich chemicals and nutrients for fighting cancer. It also improves the skin health as well as used as a better medium for digestion, apart from being the best alternative to artificial sweeteners since it contains less amount of fructose and low glycemic Index.
Maple syrup is obtained from the maple tree after some few taps after which it is taken to the sugar house. There it is placed in an evaporator where water gets evaporated producing more quantity of pure sap that is more sweeter and denser.
A typical product of the Quebec region, the Sirop D’e’rable is only found in USA apart from this Canadian paradise. Two spoons being added to sausages or oats or morning meals ( NOT idli or dosa please !!!!!) will certainly be an added healthy proponent in order to enhance the taste as well as the nutritional value.
Please do taste it if you get a chance to do so!!!!!!!
Let your lives become sweeter!!!!!!

In this entire process of learning using smart technologies, playing games with apps like Duolingo and Kahoot apart from Youtube videos and online applications will also be an added delicacy to this sweet professional pie.
With time, one needs to evolve and strategize teaching models which would have a far reaching impact on the learners. So films, videos, songs, role plays, fun sessions as well as reading and writing is encouraged in order to boost up our linguistic capabilities for serving the industry.
France, as a major business partner of India has established several industries and outlets in the domains of servicing and production industries like Alcatel , Total, St Gobain, Renault Nissan, Publicis, Solardirect and Lafarge etc

One needs to imbibe various aspects like comprehending abilities of authentic and native French speakers, able to play with emotions and words, send business mails, critically analyze case studies and give a more reasoned opinion and decision on professional aspects of the market and industry.
Hence various levels like the elementary A1 and A2 , professional levels of B1 and B2 and finally the level for mastering the subject – C1 and C2 exists though C1 and C2 is a separate study altogether.
In a typical French firm, we need to address issues of our clients and employees as well as coordinate with our workers or managers etc which warrants a decent level of technical usage of language, rather than fanciful usage of expressions or vocabularies.
Certain examples like how do you address a labour unrest, how do you manage a sudden resignation or some official crisis, how to coordinate in designing and modifying automobile parts, how to fix technical issues of customer related products, how to convince people in buying your products with smart and sensible marketing, how to convince an angry customer etc are all taught in this course which is very dynamically structured keeping in mind the industry and market conditions.
