The festival of all senses

Hedonism of all kinds.

Parade extravaganza.

Unruly festival of dance and images of local folklore.

How far is the description used, how much of it written, how many images seen and how much "ah, I wish that I was there" sighs discharged, and all for one and the same reason - the Brazilian carnival, the one recognizable in every corner of our planet for its colorful, sound samba and perfect bodies in the streets of Brazilian cities.

This year started on Friday 4 March, a ceremony where the Carnival King received the keys from the Mayor of Rio, and end one hour before midnight on Tuesday 8th March.

Carnival is basically a religious holiday, even it is a start date, which varies from year to year, tied to a religious cause - exactly 46 days before Easter, when start the post. After all, the term "carnival" comes from the word "karnelevare", literally "the removal of meat. " A carnival celebrations have roots in pagan festival of Saturnalia, when they said good-bye to bad things and "good day" religious discipline.

Although most of those who enjoy the parade through the television images, linked only Carnival in Rio de Jeneiro or Sao Paulo, it should be noted that this feast is in every town and village in Brazil! Residents of this South American country still say they are best implemented, with most music, noise, joy in the streets, squares and beaches, not in Rio, but in small towns such as Salvador, Recife and Porto Seguro, where the audience and becomes part of the official parade, which moving through the city, mixing with performers.

At first glance an overall relaxed atmosphere threatens to easily grow into the chaotic state, but in all there are order and prudence.

Especially in those biggest parades in Sao Paulo and Rio, led by the schools of samba. After all, despite all the challenges and colorful, carnival is primarily a place for the competition of these schools that prepare all year for those two days parading, but only in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, not in other cities.

Competition 12 selected schools, conducted in the "Sambodromo" real stadiums where the samba is held the night of carnival, which begins in 22 hours and lasts up to six in the morning. Carnival has two main days that last for competitions and parades. In Sao Paulo this Friday and Saturday, in Rio de Janeiro Sunday and Monday and this is the difference between the two town carnival. Ticket prices range from 30 up to 500 euros for the best seats in the stands with a beautiful view at 700 meters long track that meet the school of samba.

Each of them choose the story, on whose motives they organizing the show. One school has about 500 participants, of whom, believe it or not, only twenty are girls. School parade takes exactly 1 hour and 10 minutes, and the jury especially assess accuracy, because the points lost for each excess minute.

Now it seems unbelievable , but South Americans for this " festival of festivals " should thank Europe , specifically Paris whose masquerades in the streets was a direct model for the first carnival in Rio 1641st year.

Barney Stinson Bro Code



One of my favorite episodes of How I Met Your Mother was the episode where Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris), explained the history of the "Bro Code," tracing it back to it's creation as George Washington and Benjamin Franklin discussed the issues of two gentlemen pursuing the same woman, when in stepped Barney's ancestor with the solution. It was then decided that a set of rules that govern the interactions betwixt men should be penned, hence The Bro Code was established! I highly recommend to all women to read the this bro code, in order to better understand their men and their unwritten rules.


1. Bros before hoes. I cannot stress this enough. Always remember, girlfriends come and go, but your boys are always there. Breaking this rule is to commit the cardinal sin against Team Testosterone.

2. Never drink the last beer, unless you've been granted specific permission that it's OK.

3. If a girl falls into the following criteria, she is off limits forever until the end of time:

A. Was an ex-girlfriend.
B. Your friend specifically told you he wanted her.

However, if it's your buddy's cousin, well she's up for grabs, and you're welcome to rub it in his face for years to come.

4. Never diss a guy if his team just lost a crushing game.

5. You must never own a cat.

D. The mailman.
E. The UPS guy.
F. NASA.
G. John Kerry.

15. Don't tell other guys elaborate stories about your weightlifting exercise routine. No one cares.

Computer against man


Artificial Intelligence to 2030. could be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the human. Million dollars received a "virtual" winner of the legendary American game show "Danger!"

Prize of one million dollars in the legendary American quiz show "Danger!" poured few weeks ago on account of - computer. It was, however, more than a game.

Artificial "genius", named "Watson", entered the history not only as a first computer who defeated people-pundits 74 times in a row, but its maker, the company Ai-Bi-Em brought confirmation achievements so far known only from the movies scientific fiction, like "Star Trek". "Watson", namely, the first computer that understands human speech and successfully answer the questions.

Millions Award "Ai-Bi-Em" was redirected to charity, they got laurels because of new technological achievements. Although he showed a certain amount of imperfection, "Watson" is, in fact, opened a new era of technological development, comparable to that begun "genius" of his predecessor, called "Deep Blue", from a decade ago and that in 1997. The defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov. Combining "encyclopedic knowledge" with the ability to "live" communication with people, "Watson" with a word, began a new chapter in the struggle of man and machine.

For Ai-Bi-Em, designers of both "winning" computers, the future has already begun with the announcement that, in collaboration with scientists leading American universities, in less than two years to produce "virtual" assistants in medical offices, ready to respond to calls to patients.

The new series "Watson", named after the founder of Ai-Bi-Emma Thomas Watson, would expand on a number of tasks currently performed by humans. Those that involve answering questions from customers - from orders for the purchase to technical support. Computers will, according to the company, to be able not only to respond to one, but on a series of questions and sub-questions.

Like every previous one, and the technological revolution, opens a new, controversial, chapter in the economic sphere. It is already known what the victims and the transformations required technological progress which has for the past century and a half from predominantly agriculture-oriented United States made the earth, where less than one percent of the workforce engaged in this activity.

Computers that "speak and understand" the language of man, say scientists in the United States, will affecting tech sector untouched, until now exclusively reserved for men. News at first will not be good for the Army staff in the world of business, education, medicine jobs, which include the telephone, "questioning" and answers. But those who spend hours waiting to receive a response by phone, greet an innovation.

The idea of "artificial intelligence", initiated in ancient myths, the embodiment of the received middle of the last century, when scientists working in parallel to improve the natural and "virtual" intelligence. Within the next two decades, according to scientists, computer and human intelligence will be - equal.

American computer guru Ray Kurcvel, speaking last week at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), said that in the next half century, technological advances increased 32 times more than during the entire 20th century. Already in the twenties of this century, human and artificial intelligence will stand shoulder to shoulder, he said.

Computers are now, as explained, based on two-dimensional chips made of silicon, but they are already developing in the direction of three dimensions, with much better performance. Incorporation of biological molecules, much smaller than the chip based on metal, opens up endless possibilities for new generations of computers.

Three-dimensional, molecular computerization create hardware for strong artificial intelligence, human level in the twenties of this century - is convinced Kurcvel.

Best Barney Stinson Quotes


The show may be about the road to romantic love for main character Ted Mosby, but the most entertaining parts of any episode are the hilarious one-liners and bold proclamations made by Barney. Here’s a selection of the best Barney Stinson quotes from How I Met Your Mother.

“He's the awesomest, most best-lookingest, greatest guy ever!”
Lily: “He's exactly like Barney.”
Barney: “That's what I just said.”

“You know who is confused? Bimbos. They’re easily confused. It’s one of the thousand little things I love about them. I love their vacant, trusting stares; their sluggish, unencumbered minds; their unresolved daddy issues. I love them Lily, and they love me. Bimbos have always been there for me, through thick and thin—mostly thin. B-man don’t do thick crust, what up!”

“Step one, you start running. There is no step two.”

“Think of me like Yoda, but instead of being little and green I wear suits and I'm awesome. I'm your bro—I'm Broda!”

“Shotgun for eternity!”
Robin: “You can't call shotgun for eternity.”

Lily: “I don't think your sword will fit.”
Barney: “I get that a lot.”

“Open your brain tank, bro, ’cause here comes some premium 91-octane knowledge. There’s three rules of cheating: 1. It’s not cheating if you’re not the one who’s married. 2. It’s not cheating if her name has two adjacent vowels. 3. And it's not cheating if she’s from a different area code. You’re fine on all three counts.”

“If there was any shame in a dude getting a pedicure I don’t think there would’ve been a feature about it in Details magazine.”

“Now remember my three beginner’s tips for picking up chicks: Address her by name, isolate her from her friends, subtly put her down.”

“Hello, Ted. If you’re watching this tape—and I knew you’d pick this one—you are now in possession of my porn. This can only mean two things: Either I’m dead, or I’m now in a committed relationship. If I’m dead, I want you to honor my memory by taking my body to the Hamptons and re-creating Weekend at Bernie’s. I wanna dance, I wanna have sex with a girl, and I wanna go fishing. If, on the other hand, I’m in a committed relationship, then as your best friend, I have only one request: Please, for the love of God, GET ME OUT OF THIS!”

“I am not a smoker. I only smoke in certain situations: post-coital, when I'm with Germans (sometimes those two overlap), coital, birthdays, to annoy my mom, pre-coital, on a sailboat, the day the Mets are mathematically eliminated every year, and, of course—wait for it—’cause Lord knows I have—pregnancy scares.”

“Okay, pep talk! You can do this, but to be more accurate, you probably can't. You're way out of practice and she's way too hot for you. So, remember, it's not about scoring. It's about believing you can do it, even though you probably can't. Go get 'em, tiger!”

“Jesus waited three days to come back to life. It was perfect! If he had only waited one day, a lot of people wouldn't have even heard he died. They'd be all, "Hey Jesus, what up?" and Jesus would probably be like, "What up? I died yesterday!" and they'd be all, "Uh, you look pretty alive to me, dude..." and then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it was a miracle, and the dude'd be like "Uhh okay, whatever you say, bro..." And he's not gonna come back on a Saturday. Everybody's busy, doing chores, workin' the loom, trimmin' the beard, NO. He waited the perfect number of days, three. Plus it's Sunday, so everyone's in church already, and they're all in there like "Oh no, Jesus is dead", and then BAM! He bursts in the back door, runnin' up the aisle, everyone's totally psyched, and FYI, that's when he invented the high five. That's why we wait three days to call a woman, because that's how long Jesus wants us to wait.... True story.”

“Oh right, because there can be too many of something wonderful. Hey Babe Ruth, easy big fella, let's not hit too many homers. Hey Steve Gutenberg, maybe just make three Police Academy movies. America's laughed enough.”
