The Five Principles Is the english Translation Of panchatantra. It is one of the most well known stories in th world. It has been translated into Diffrent laguages thus:

Arabic: Kalīlah wa Dimnah
Persian: Anvār-e Soheylī
And in Englishg as The Morall Philosophie of Doni In 1570. So the panchtanthra Has been translated into many, many other languages.

The New Duke Of Cambridge: Hear his other titles!

Before the wedding with Cathriene Kate Elizabeth, Prince william was given the title of His Royal Highness The Duke Of Cambridge. However, he also Got the titles of: Earl of Strathearn , Which Is a title of a provincial ruler In Scotland. the last persorn to have this title was Duke Of Connaught in 1942. The first person to have this title streched far back into 1115!!!

" Baron Carrickfergus " is the other title Given to the Prince By th Queen. Ver y good name don't you think!Well, Traditionally, when male members of the royal family marry, they are Given a Peerge title. Carrickfergus is a barony In ireland. Also Kate Mideltoon will be The Countess of Strathearn and Baroness Carrickfergus respectievly. You Dont ahve to call her all the names, "His Royal Highness" or Your Royal Highness" Will be Enough!

Two bodies: for one sport!

We all Know tha A particular sport has its Own govening body.....For example ICC Is the international cricket governig body. But Futsal HAs Two GOVERNING Bodies! the first one IS FIFA, The football govening body and The second one is AMF { Association Mundial De futsal translated to World Futsal Association.} Both Of them have diffrent tournments, And All nations send the same Team For both AMF and FIFA tournaments. while AMF Tournament was last held in 2007, The fifa tournament was held in 2008. So , It's rather complicated!
Any way, here is a note of Futsal:
Futsal is actually a variant of association football that is played on a smaller playing surface and mainly played indoors. Its name is derived from the Portuguese futebol de salão and the Spanish fútbol de salón (colloquially fútbol sala), which can be translated as "hall football" or "indoor football". During the sport's second world championships held in Madrid in 1985, the name fútbol de salón was used. Since then, all other names have been officially and internationally changed to futsal.

Futsal is played between two teams each with five players, one of whom is the goalkeeper. Unlimited substitutes per team are permitted. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball with less bounce than a regular football. The rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.

A R2

Some info about R^2

Robonaut 2

In the current iteration of Robonaut, Robonaut 2 or R2, NASA and General Motors are working together with assistance from Oceaneering Space Systems engineers to accelerate development of the next generation of robots and related technologies for use in

the automotive and aerospace industries. Robonaut 2 (R2) is a state of the art highly dexterous anthropomorphic robot. Like its predecessor Robonaut 1 (R1), R2 is capable of handling a wide range of EVA tools and interfaces, but R2 is a significant advancement over its predecessor. R2 is capable of speeds more than four times faster than R1, is more compact, is more dexterous, and includes a deeper and wider range of sensing. Advanced technology spans the entire R2 system and includes: optimized overlapping dual arm dexterous workspace, series elastic joint technology, extended finger and thumb travel, miniaturized 6-axis load cells, redundant force sensing, ultra-high speed joint controllers, extreme neck travel, and high resolution camera and IR systems. The dexterity of R2 allows it to use the same tools that astronauts currently use and removes the need for specialized tools just for robots.

One advantage of a humanoid design is that Robonaut can take over simple, repetitive, or especially dangerous tasks on places such as the International Space Station. Because R2 is approaching human dexterity, tasks such as changing out an air filter can be performed without modifications to the existing design.

Another way this might be beneficial is during a robotic precursor mission. R2 would bring one set of tools for the precursor mission, such as setup and geologic investigation. Not only does this improve efficiency in the types of tools, but also removes the need for specialized robotic connectors. Future missions could then supply a new set of tools and use the existing tools already on location.

What is a Robonaut?

A Robonaut is a dexterous humanoid robot built and designed at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Our challenge is to build machines that can help humans work and explore in space. Working side by side with humans, or going where the risks are too great for people, Robonauts will expand our ability for construction and discovery. Central to that effort is a capability we call dexterous manipulation, embodied by an ability to use one's hand to do work, and our challenge has been to build machines with dexterity that exceeds that of a suited astronaut.

There are currently four Robonauts, with others currently in development. This allows us to study various types of mobility, control methods, and task applications. The value of a humanoid over other

designs is the ability to use the same workspace and tools - not only does this improve efficiency in the types of tools, but also removes the need for specialized robotic connectors. Robonauts are essential to NASA's future as we go beyond low earth orbit and continue to explore the vast wonder that is space.

Robonaut 2 or R2, will launch to the International Space Station on space shuttle Discovery as part of the STS-133 mission, it will become the first dexterous humanoid robot in space, and the first US-built robot at the space station. But that will be just one small step for a robot and one giant leap for robot-kind.

Initially R2 will be deployed on a fixed pedestal inside the ISS. Next steps include a leg for climbing through the corridors of the Space Station, upgrades for R2 to go outside into the vacuum of space, and then future lower bodies like legs and wheels to propel the R2 across Lunar and Martian terrain. A four wheeled rover called Centaur 2 is being evaluated at the 2010 Desert Field Test in Arizona as an example of these future lower bodies for R2.
