Elvis Aaron Presley a [1][4] (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. A cultural icon, he is commonly known simply as Elvis and is also sometimes referred to as The King of Rock 'n' Roll or The King.

Presley began his career in 1954 as one of the first performers of rockabilly, an uptempo fusion of country and rhythm and blues with a strong back beat. His novel versions of existing songs, mixing "black" and "white" sounds, made him popular—and controversial[5][6][7]—as did his uninhibited stage and television performances. Presley had a versatile voice[8] and he had unusually wide success encompassing many genres, including rock and roll, gospel, blues, country, ballads and pop. To date, he has been inducted into four music halls of fame.

In the 1960s, Presley made the majority of his 31 movies, most of which were poorly reviewed but financially successful musicals.[9] In 1968, he returned to live performances in a television special,[10] which led to a string of successful tours across the U.S., notably in Las Vegas, for the remainder of his career. In 1973, Presley staged the first global live concert via satellite (Aloha from Hawaii), reaching at least one billion viewers live and an additional 500 million on delay,[11][12] and it remains the most watched broadcast by an individual entertainer in television history.

Dance (from French danser, perhaps from Frankish) is a sport and art form that generally refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music,[1] used as a form of expression, social interaction or presented in a spiritual or performance setting.

Dance may also to regarded as a form of nonverbal communication between humans, and is also performed by other animals (bee dance, patterns of behaviour such as a mating dance). Gymnastics, figure skating and synchronized swimming are sports dance disciplines, while martial arts kata are often compared to dances. Motion in inanimate objects may also be described as dances (the leaves danced in the wind), and certain musical forms or genres.

Definitions of what constitutes dance are dependent on social, cultural, aesthetic, artistic and moral constraints and range from functional movement (such as folk dance) to virtuoso techniques such as ballet. Dance can be participatory, social or performed for an audience. It can also be ceremonial, competitive or erotic. Dance movements may be without significance in themselves, such as in ballet or European folk dance, or have a gestural vocabulary/symbolic system as in many Asian dances. Dance can embody or express ideas, emotions or tell a story.

Dancing has evolved many styles. Breakdancing and Krumping are related to the hip hop culture. African dance is interpretive. Ballet, Ballroom, Waltz, and Tango are classical styles of dance while Square and the Electric Slide are forms of step dances.

Why Do We Celebrate Easter?

Easter is a ‘Christian Holiday’ and prior to 325 A.D it was not celebrated on fixed day. Rather, it was variously celebrated on different days of the week, including Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day of his crucifixion.

The origin of Easter dates back to the beginning of Christianity. Previously Easter was known as the Sunday of Pascha. The question of the date of Easter was solved in 325 A.D by the council of Nicaea. The council decided that Easter should fall on Sunday following the first full moon after vernal equinox. March 21 was made out to be the perfect date for spring equinox. Till then, the same date has been followed, to celebrate Easter.

Easter (Greek: Πάσχα, Pascha) is the most important annual religious feast in the Christian liturgical year.[1] According to Christian scripture, Jesus was resurrected from the dead on the third day from his crucifixion. Christians celebrate this resurrection on Easter Day or Easter Sunday[2] (also Resurrection Day or Resurrection Sunday), two days after Good Friday and three days after Maundy Thursday. The chronology of his death and resurrection is variously interpreted to be between 26 and 36 AD. Easter also refers to the season of the church year called Eastertide or the Easter Season. Traditionally the Easter Season lasted for the forty days from Easter Day until Ascension Day but now officially lasts for the fifty days until Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter Week or the Octave of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a season of fasting, prayer, and penance.

Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover not only for much of its symbolism but also for its position in the calendar.

Relatively newer elements such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts have become part of the holiday's modern celebrations, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike. There are also some Christian denominations who do not celebrate Easter.

Why Do We Celebrate Mother’s Day?

In the U.S Mother’s Day is celebrated on 2nd Sunday of May. It was first observed in Philadelphia in 1907. In England there was an annual observance called ‘The Mothering Sunday’. In the U.S in 1908 Ana Jarvis began a campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day.

She persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother’s Day on the death anniversary of her mother. Constant efforts were taken to get the 2nd Sunday of May recognized as official Mother’s Day.

Many other countries celebrate their own Mother’s Day at different times of the year.

The modern Mother's Day holiday was created by Anna Jarvis in Grafton, West Virginia, as a day to honor mothers and motherhood; especially within the context of families, and family relationships.[1] It is now celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, some of which have a much older tradition than the modern holiday (e.g. dating to the 16th century in the UK). Father's Day is a corresponding holiday honoring fathers.

The holiday eventually became so commercialized that many, including its founder, Anna Jarvis, considered it a "Hallmark Holiday", i.e. one with an overwhelming commercial purpose. Anna ended up opposing the holiday she had helped to create.[

Why Do People Collect Stamps?

Stamp collection is considered to be a hobby. Millions of people all over the world collect stamps. For this purpose General Post Office has been set up to help people to collect stamps. Strange stamps are considered to be valuable as they are scarce.

During 1861, the South African post office was running short of stamps; so, a local firm was ordered to print a few stamps. The local firm, by mistake printed one penny Blue instead of Red and Four penny Red in place of Blue. So, these stamps were considered to be rare. People collect such rare stamps for the posterity to see and know its history.

 

Below Stamp Collecting info from Wikipedia (Read More):-

Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as covers (envelopes or packages with stamps on them). It is one of the world's most popular hobbies, with estimates of the number of collectors ranging up to 20 million in the United States alone.

Collecting is not the same as philately, which is the study of stamps. A philatelist often does, but need not, collect the objects of study, nor is it necessary to closely study what one collects. Many casual collectors enjoy accumulating stamps without worrying about the tiny details. The creation of a large or comprehensive collection, however, may require some philatelic knowledge.

Stamp collectors are an important source of revenue for some small countries who create limited runs of elaborate stamps designed mainly to be bought by stamp collectors. The stamps produced by these countries far exceed the postal needs of the countries.[citation needed]

Some collectors have taken to philatelic investment.
