Celebrate Holidays in Russia

Celebrate Holidays in Russia - Russia also has several holidays just like any other countries in the world. However, you will find several differences on how Russian people enjoy their holiday. The difference is that the holiday in Russia is last long. The people even prepare for the holiday at least a day before the D-day arrives.

The Russian people usually get two or three free days to enjoy their holiday, or sometimes more. In other countries, most shops, groceries, or supermarket are close during the holiday, while in Russia, you will find them keep open throughout the holiday, and open until late evening. Russian people also never mind about business during their holiday. So never come up with business plan during the holiday.

During the holiday, traffic is not as crowded as regular days. This condition is quite good for foreigners who want to travel around the city.

There are nine official holidays in Russia. However, Russian people find no reason needed to celebrate their special day.

Neptune and Uranus Contains Diamond Oceans

We don't need to go to the Pandora Country in the Avatar Movie to dig unobtanium, because Neptune and Uranus planets have allegedly diamond iceberg floating in a sea of diamonds.

Surprising discovery that comes from detailed measurements of the melting point diamonds on Neptune and Uranus.

The scientists believe the diamond with a laser compressed to 40 times stronger than Earth's atmosphere at sea temperature. Then gradually reduced both temperature and pressure.

Coincidentally, the diamond behaves like water, the freezing and melting and the clouds are floating diamonds on the elements of fluid also is a diamond. Diamond Oceans that have been explained why the magnetic field at Uranus and Neptune deviated from latitude north and south latitude, meaning that the diamond element is able to deflect a magnetic field.

Both these planets contain 10% carbon, the essential elements that form a diamond slab. Scientists cann't really make sure to launch a second mission to the planet or trying to simulate the conditions of the neptune and uranus planets in the earth.

Looking for a boyfriend using alien maths (Drake Equation)

The Alien Maths or The Drake Equation was developed in 1961 ,Founder is Dr.Frank Drake! at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia USA.

The Drake equation is N = R* x Fp x Ne x Fi x Fc x L, and has successfully helped found the prediction that there are about 10 thousand civilizations in the Milky Way (our galaxy).

• N = The number of communicative civilizations
• R* = The rate of formation of suitable stars (stars such as our Sun)
• f_p = The fraction of those stars with planets. (Current evidence indicates that planetary systems may be common for stars like the Sun.)
• n_e = The number of Earth-like worlds per planetary system
• f_l = The fraction of those Earth-like planets where life actually develops
• f_i = The fraction of life sites where intelligence develops
• f_c = The fraction of communicative planets (those on which electromagnetic communications technology develops)
• L = The "lifetime" of communicating civilizations

Drake Equation is designed to predict aliens civilizations, but Peter Backus a Student from London,applies it to finding love in London

Backus said "the probability of finding love in the UK is only about 100 times better than the probability of finding intelligent life in our galaxy"

Peter Backus, 30 years old, found that of the 30 million women in the UK, only 26 would be suitable girlfriends for him, according to Click Liverpool.

Backus's equation looked at the total number of women in the country, then narrowed it down using relevant factors including the number of women in London; the number of "age-appropriate" women (those aged between 24-34); women with a college degree; and those who Mr Backus would find physically attractive.

Peter Backus summarized that on a given night out in London there is a 0.0000034% chance of meeting a girl/woman that meets his criteria and who is also interested in him.

That makes his odds of finding a girlfriend only about 100 times better .

Construction Jobs Use War Vehicles in Russia

Do you know that . today many companies in Russia earn their living by buying cheap old Russian army vehicles and converting them to civil engineering and construction hardware that then is being used at the various construction sites in Moscow and all Russia area.

Those vehicles, it comes like, passing across! a place where the new residential complex is being built a big military camouflaged tank can appear from across a corner equipped with a hoe instead of the gun - Construction Jobs Use War Vehicles in Russia

And it might be handy in exporting to third world countries where the construction areas are sometimes being combined with a battle front. Such construction machinery won’t be an easy target and would be able to continue digging under the light to moderate range fire.

BTW today as a result of the rapid changes following the breakup of the Soviet bloc, there were suddenly new markets of hundreds of millions of people, covering a large portion of the earth, containing large fractions of many of the world's natural resources, possessing extensive research and production capacity, with a highly educated workforce, and utilizing many advanced technologies. We know that Russia State contained a large fraction of these factors, especially those oriented toward high technology, and hence it behooves international companies to formulate and implement strategies for doing business in Russia.

UFO Reappeared at Moscow Rusia - Triangular-UFO

This video was most view on Youtube in Russia and Europe, this UFO is at rest or "Hover mode" in a long time. The UFO hovered for hours over Red Square in the Russian capital and was seen by hundreds of people.


The Triangular-UFO identity of the shape has not been confirmed but several internet forums are buzzing with the sighting.

This pyramid UFO appeared on December 9th, the same night that a mysterious blue spiral light appeared over Norway. That was later attributed to a failed rocket launch from Russia.

Some have likened the object to one of the spaceships from Star Wars. But others have said it is merely a reflection from inside the cameraman's car. If the object exists experts estimate that it could be up to a mile wide.

Some commentators have reacted sceptically to the videos and have pointed out that if hundreds of people had seen the object more videos and photos would have emerged by now.

Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO analyst, said it was 'one of the most extraordinary UFO clips I've ever seen'.

Two records that show these objects have also been shown repeatedly in various Russian television stations. This foto object is shown in the channel Russia Today. According to witnesses, the object may have a side length of about one mile. Clearly this is a great size for an object flying over the Kremlin.

This amateur video entitled "Hovering Pyramid Over Kremlin Russia - UFO? Government Hologram? Hoax?" was taken at night from inside the car, and the other in the afternoon,and another one taken during the day. Both recordings were taken by the local population and has become the most popular recordings on youtube video.

By the way,did u know that Russian naval have been records reveal secrets about the discovery of unidentified object technology, more than anything ever made by humans, according to Svobodnaya Pressa news site.

Note was made by a special naval group in the Soviet era and led by the deputy commander of the Navy, Admiral Nikolay Smirnov. Documents reveal that he compiled various UFO cases and the possibility of a meeting, said the Web site.

Azhazha Vladimir, a former naval officer and a Russian-known UFO researchers, said the findings are great value.

"Fifty percent of meetings with UFO-related with the ocean. Fifteen percent over the lake. So UFOs tend to like water," he said.

Atlantis - The Lost Continent is Indonesia?

Nothing too serious to read this post, regard it as a fiction if you do not like. But, if you want a serious and slightly open mind to the possibilities, yes, please all. "

Atlantis - The Lost Continent,Thats Myth or Reality?

After consulting with "experts" about Atlantis from Indonesia, one of them Red-White Eagle (Atlantis Again?) So...I can answer as follows: "There are many versions of Atlantis, E. Cayce said that "Lemuria" is the name of the continent , and Atlantis is the name of the country (estimated to exist from 24,000 to 10,000 BC.)

As we know that since Plato’s time, explorers who believed that Atlantis did exist have been searching for the lost continent. They have searched in the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean, and in the Aegean Sea. They have searched near such countries as Morocco, Mexico, Spain, France, and Brazil.


The most popular theory today is that the tiny Greek island of Santorin, which is a gigantic volcanic crater in the Aegean, is none other than the long-lost Atlantis. But no actual remains of this real or mythical civilization have yet been found.

Many writers of adventure tales have told of Atlantis. One of the most famous, perhaps, is Jules Verne. In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Verne takes his heroes on an exploration of Atlantis on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.

Prof. Arysio Nunes dos Santos, Ph. D. in Nuclear Physics; Free-Docent, and Professor of Nuclear Physics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, has been researching on Atlantis for almost 30 years now, pointing out that "Atlantis was never found because we have all been looking in the wrong places". The reason for this, according to Prof. Santos, is that when Plato spoke of the Ocean of Atlantis, he was not speaking of the ocean that we today call Atlantic Ocean, but of the whole ocean that encircles Eurasia and Africa, formerly known as the atlantic ocean.

Prof. Santos hence concludes that Atlantis is really located in the Indo-Pacific Ocean, which was considered to be the eastward extension of the modern Atlantic Ocean, even though it is impossible that knowledge of such a place could reach a place as far away as Egypt. The modern Atlantic Ocean was once deemed to extend all the way to the East Indies, a conception which lasted down to the times of Christopher Columbus and other Renaissance explorers and geographers.

Despite the prevalent opinion of experts of all sorts that "continents cannot possibly sink" (see Isostasy theory), Prof. Santos managed to discover a whole sunken continent in the region of Indonesia, which he identifies with the Lost Continent of Atlantis, as can be seen in the detailed map published in Santos' Atlantis site.

Berlin Wall Today

Now had 20 years ago. Since communism collapsed in Germany, when the Berlin wall, which was considered as a wall which divides the arrogant East and West Germany and separating families and loved ones, destroyed demolished residents. It happened on November 9, 1989. To commemorate 20 years of the fall of the Berlin Mauer, so crowded events in the Berlin City

The wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is the new Berlin Wall. It offends both Mexicans and Americans. It comforts some Americans. And it keeps expanding. Some $2.4 billion has been spent since 2005 on a still-unfinished project to erect more than 600 miles of new fence along the US-Mexico border. Yet the new fencing has been breached more than 3,000 times, costing $1,300 for the average repair.

Today controversy is heating up over the border wall again. Besides the inflating costs, the wall is destroying countless ecosystems, as the borderlands contain federally protected areas and plants and animals found nowhere else on earth. Environmental groups and laws are holding up construction, much to conservatives’ displeasure. Fences built along the U.S.-Mexico border are threatening wildlife species and the ground pollution it is creating is catastrophic. Technologically, the construction of the fence is a structural nightmare that continues to divide human families. Will this wall ever end?

20 years ago today, the most reviled symbol of Communist oppression got torn down by both the people it oppressed and the people it was intended to intimidate as the era of Soviet domination in Eastern Europe came to an abrupt and obvious end. Cheering throngs filled the streets as the Berlin Wall fell, with East Germany’s soldiers reduced to the role of spectators as their state, for all intents and purposes, ceased to exist entirely.symbol of the Cold War, it divided a city and in effect the entire country. And then on November 9th, 1989 it crumbled and with it Communist East Germany.

The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki - book review

The Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki. This book discusses the theory that a larger group of diverse people can make better decisions, and display more intelligence than any smaller collection of experts. Surowiecki's central concept is that the insights of a diverse group of individuals working independently can be aggregated together.

He contrasts this with the group dynamics/social psychology studies done by Stanley Milgram in previous decades, which looked at how large groups of people can be influenced by the actions of a few, causing information cascades, and "Tipping Point" effects. Suroweicki's concept avoids the "tipping point", and information cascade effects by employing a diverse group of individuals who work largely independently of one another.

Some examples of Crowd Wisdom that Surowiecki gives are:

• Prediction Markets
• Aggregating Insights of a Diverse Group of Individuals
• Decentralization (like Open Source Software Development, for example)

The wisdom of crowds you say? As Surowiecki explains, yes, but only under the right conditions. In order for a crowd to be smart, he says it needs to satisfy four conditions:

1. Diversity. A group with many different points of view will make better decisions than one where everyone knows the same information. Think multi-disciplinary teams building Web sites...programmers, designers, biz dev, QA folks, end users, and copywriters all contributing to the process, each has a unique view of what the final product should be. Contrast that with, say, the President of the US and his Cabinet.

2. Independence. "People's opinions are not determined by those around them." AKA, avoiding the circular mill problem.

3. Decentralization. "Power does not fully reside in one central location, and many of the important decisions are made by individuals based on their own local and specific knowledge rather than by an omniscient or farseeing planner." The open source software development process is an example of effect decentralization in action.

4. Aggregation. You need some way of determining the group's answer from the individual responses of its members. The evils of design by committee are due in part to the lack of correct aggregation of information. A better way to harness a group for the purpose of designing something would be for the group's opinion to be aggregated by an individual who is skilled at incorporating differing viewpoints into a single shared vision and for everyone in the group to be aware of that process (good managers do this). Aggregation seems to be the most tricky of the four conditions to satisfy because there are so many different ways to aggregate opinion, not all of which are right for a given situation.

The Wisdom of Crowds and over 400000 other books are available for Amazon.
