Crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery Butterfinger.

Brazil’s customs are almost same as the Europe’s. Brazilians sometimes are more uncommunicative but sometimes are very accommodating. In the beginning of meeting, people are always with the ceremony of shaking hands. However, when friends and relatives greet each other, they also used to hugs the pro-cheeks; And that is totally acceptable to complete strangers. The “social” etiquette of kissing cheek is to kiss on both cheeks for only once. However, in most social circles, blacks were out of fashion in that with each other, while with the customary handshake. But, due to difference of social status, who kissing whom when greeting is slightly different in different circumstances. Brazilians don’t care to reveal their emotions in public places, they are generous hospitality. Being a guest in their house, there will always wine in the glass and the coffee in the cup will never be empty.

Indians are the aboriginal peoples in Brazil. Before the Portuguese discovered Brazil, there are about two or three million Indians living on the mainland of Brazil. At present, the Indians remains 350,000, distributing in 561 tribes, speaking more than 170 kinds indigenous language. A vast majority of Indians still live in the Amazon jungle, living in isolation. In the history, there were several emigration tides in Brazil, during the period of 1884 to 1962 there were 4.97 million Europe and Arab immigrants moved to Brazil. Since the late 19th century, immigrants in Asia and the Middle East have been increasing, currently in Brazil, and there are 1.3 million the immigrants and descendants of Japanese, and about 250,000 ethnic Chinese. The population and the ethnic composition of the Brazilian have the fundamental change because of the long-term marriages. About 55% of them are white, the blacks and the whites mixed-race are about 38%, and the blacks are about 6%.

The unique immigrant process and the inter faith marriage between them result in Brazil’s unique culture. In the Brazil culture, there are the simplicity of the Indians, the warm of the Africans and the dignified manner of the Europeans. However, it is not just a simple replica of these cultures; it is an open culture which is a unique culture gradually formed and eclectic in the variety of cultures.

1. It’s right to choose wide platePresently wide floor board is quite popular in the market. Compared with the narrow one, it is more beautiful and decent. The veins are fluent and decorative patterns completed.

2. Carefully choose scale board.The glued boards you choose should be similar in texture and color and have not rotten part.

3. Do not afraid of “marble”Many people worry about radioactive contamination of natural marble. In fact, many countries strictly control the classification of natural stone’s radiation.

4.Ceramic tile should be selected high quality not to choose low price.The top grade tile is characterized by hardness, good toughness, and non-frangibility.

5. Natural stone and man-made stone have their own strengthsThe natural stones are better than synthetic stones in quality, but they give out radiations while the synthetic stones do not.In addition, their price is different, and natural marble is more expensive. In the selection of pattern and color, man-made stone is richer and people can choose according to their preference.

6. Try the wallpaper before buying.The choice of wallpaper is best to try before you buy, because it is hard to see the final effect only from the sample book.Before the decision, you can buy a roll of wallpaper and have a try on the wall at home,so that it is easy to see the effect.

7. The size of tile should be adapted to local conditionsUsing large-format tiles in kitchen, restroom and other small-size room will cause large loss, which is not economic.So the room like kitchen and toilet should adopt the special type handicraft tile which is from 300 to 400 cm square, such as non-skid tile and wear resistant procelain tile.

8. Be cautious about washing curtain.Some curtains should get dry cleaned rather than washed to avoid fabric damage or deformation according to their special material.

Before There Was Email

February 6th, 2010

Did you know that people used all kinds of ingenious ways to communicate in the past?

1. Drum Telegraphs

In places where there are forests that make visibility difficult, drum telegraphy was developed as a means of communication. This was introduced by the natives of Africa, New Guinea and tropical America. When scientists on expeditions came to the jungle to explore the forest, the natives would pound on their drums to signal that strangers were approaching.

In ancient China, people used the “tamtam” as a communication tool. This was a big, free hanging circular plate of metal. Hitting the plate created a far-reaching sound.

2. Carrier Torch Fire Signals

In ancient Greece and Rome, fire signals were given from mountain to mountain or from tower to tower. The Greek poet Aischylos, a soldier in the fight of Marathon, describes a “fire post” in one of his poems. This was probably the first line of sight transmission in the world. It is said that with this system the fall of Troja was reported to Argos.

3. Pigeons

Carrier pigeons, with their navigational abilities, have been used for communication in numerous forms. From 700 BC to 300 AD they were used in the Olympic games. A black check cock carrier pigeon named Cher Ami was awarded the French Croix De Guerre medal for delivering 12 messages in World War 1. His duty included delivering a message that helped the U.S. Army locate its “Lost Battalion”. The message was delivered despite the bird being shot by enemy fire.

4. Optical Telegraph

The first optical telegraph was invented during the French Revolution. The chaotic situation made a new communication system necessary. Civilian Claude Chappe, a former priest, invented a mechanical-optical telegraph. It consisted of a column with a moveable crosswise beam. This beam also had two movable arms. With ropes it was possible to show many different signal pictures. The equipment stood on rooftops or towers and was visible from afar.

The first telegraph line of this kind was put into operation in 1794. The telegraph line consisted of 22 stations and covered a distance of over 240 kilometers. It took only two to six minutes to transfer a message, couriers riding horses would have needed 30 hours!

5. Marathon Run

This was one exhausting way of relaying messages between the war front and the palace court during battles. In September 490 BC, a terrible battle was going on at the coast of the Aegean Sea, near the town of Marathon. The small Greek army fought against the stronger Persian army and finally, the Greeks won. The leader of the Greek army sent a courier with the message of victory back to Athens. After the messenger had completed the more than a 10 kilometers long run and reached the streets of Athens, he collapsed with the words, “Be glad! We are the winners!” and died on the spot!

There is a Mary Sue in Every Girl’s Heart

February 3rd, 2010

Mary Sue was once a barbed and sharp word. It is a word that comes from the literature world and is used to describe a group of characters. The ultimate goal of these characters is the same – to realize ordinary people’s dream. When the writer creates the character and let it experience the amazing journey during which it met some big boys, then this character is called Mary Sue.

And now in the world, who is the most famous Mary Sue? Thanks to the author Stephanie Mayer and the directors of the movie, Bella, the heroine of the movie and the book The Moonlight, becomes a world-renowned Mary Sue at the moment.

However, as soon as she moves to the Fox Town, she becomes the darling of almost every person. Apart from a few handsome boys in new school, the most charming Edward is also falling love with her. Absolutely this is not another scaring Dracula story, but a romantic movie and a love letter for all the female audiences and readers.

The creation of the pretty plain heroine has something to do with the experience of the author herself. Stephanie Mayer, a mother of three children and a typical housewife, has never been to Fox town before. A writer like her understands what the ordinary girls are thinking about. They have no rich parents; they do not live in big mansions; they are not Paris Hilton and seldom go to parties; they can not afford beautiful clothes and jewelry. Cartier, Tiffany and Links of London only appear in their dreams. Yes, dream. That’s what they have.

Each girl has dreams, however ordinary she is. That is why an ordinary and plain Mary Sue than a perfect one. In the story, Mary Sue makes their dreams come true. They are Mary Sue and Mary Sue’s experiences are their experiences.

Of course, the direct will never choose a plainly looking girl as the heroine. That is accepted by all the audiences. Why not make our dreams more beautiful since in the real life, we are not?

A Deadly Seduction

January 29th, 2010

It was another Sunday and was sunny. Mom has gone so nobody could disturb me. Sleeping to nature to wake was how wonderful thing. Clean up and put on just a little makeup with a bright heart. I could go window-shopping to kill the rest of time.

The shopping arcade has so many franchised stores which sell all kinds of souvenirs, such as jewelry, fashion clothes, local speciality, curios and so on. Many girls and boys were full of bags with cheerful countenance.

At a corner, there is a tastefully bags shop. And its decorations are exotic. It sells lots of different style bags. In a word, it has every bag that you expect to find in the bags shop.

I selected with great care. I found an elegant wallet was at the center of the left shelf. It was of matchless workmanship and its price was on the high side. But I could not tear myself away from the elegant wallet.

A salesclerk who had a bluff, rough-and-ready face came to me and said: “Welcome, although its price is high, we are dainty about bags’ texture and making. The workmanship of wallet is the best in my shop. And its style is unique. You will get the quality as well as the exclusive style.”

I agreed. I did not see it before and it was of prime quality. But if the price could be shaded, that would be better so I made efforts to negotiate with him “Right, its quality is very good but about the inside zipper, it is not easy to fasten or unfasten with it.”

“Right that is our creative design so it is not easy to lose money or credit cards.” said the rough but handsome man.

“But it is too tight to open.” I tried to persuade him.

The man smiled and said “The zipper can be adjusted. You see. It is not tight now.”

I tried to zip up. It was true.

The man declared again “Its quality is very good. And we guarantee quality.”

“Ok. I buy it. Please pack for me.”

“Alright, it will be free for packing.” said the man who has a nimble tongue. He motioned to another boy to come and asked that boy to pack it.

I was not successful on bargaining but I had the elegant wallet.
