Born This Way – Lady Gaga
In the song "Born This Way", Gaga says she's perfect because she started to credit herself, and accept that she was born like this. She also speaks of a love, but love? Love for a man, or love and accept people the way they are, without a flaw? It's about loving people for who they are, the way they were born, because they're beautiful in their own ways.
Bruno Mars
Today I don't fell like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't fell like pickin up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything
I'm gonna kick my feet up, then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gonna tell me I can't
(Naahh)

Brazil will test super pill against cardiovascular disease
The drug must be tested in 22 hospitals in the country in four months.The first studies, made in Brazil by the Heart Hospital (HCor) in São Paulo indicated that the polypill reduced by 60% the risk of a person suffering a heart attack or stroke (CVA, stroke), in addition to controlling cholesterol and blood pressure.
The multitablet combines two substances to control blood pressure, which acts on cholesterol and another that prevents clogging of blood vessels of the heart. Proven preventive function of the drug, the researchers will now see how it works in patients who already have cardiovascular problems. And the Ministry of Health has already awaiting these results to include the drug in the list of medicines distributed free of charge - what should happen in 2013. In Brazil, cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death.
About two thousand Brazilian patients who have had heart attack or stroke will test the product for 18 months, this second research phase. Five other countries also take part in this step. "In the most pessimistic forecast, the treatment of patients (experimental phase) should start in October or November," said Otavio Berwanger, director of the Institute for Teaching and Research Hospital Heart and national coordinator of the research.

Hard Sun
Hard Sun
Eddie Vedder
Composição : Gordon PettersonWhen I walk beside her
I am the better man
When I look to leave her
I always stagger back again
Once I built an ivory tower
So I could worship from above
When I climb down to be set free
She took me in again
[CHORUS]
There's a big
A big hard sun
Beating on the big people
In the big hard world
When she comes to greet me
She is mercy at my feet
I see her inner charm
She just throws it back at me
Once I dug an early grave
To find a better land
She just smiled and laughed at me
And took her rules back again
[CHORUS]
When I go to cross that river
She is comfort by my side
When I try to understand
She just opens up her hands
[CHORUS]
Once I stood to lose her
And I saw what I had done
Bowed down and threw away the hours
Of her garden and her sun
So I tried to want her
I turned to see her weep
40 days and 40 nights
And it's still coming down on me
i post this music because it cheers me, i think it's a good music, if you like to listen

Is It Possible?- Real Life Batman
A blind man uses echolocation to "see" the same way a bat does.
Although the experiment was conducted with experts in echolocation who had been forced to develop this talent by blindness, everyone can learn to see with sound if have a little dedication, showing the meta-malleability of the human brain.

Deadly Games - The olympic games in Rio...
It's seals a perfect image of the European/American right wing over, not only Rio de janeiro but, the whole South America. How they see crime and justice in our country and how they observe the danger.
I would say It is a perfect antropological approach to be studied as a different point of view.

Climbing The Inside Himalaia
In the past I dreamed to be in strange adventures at so far lands...
In the past fascinated me the idea of reaching the heights of Everest and get lost in the largest snow field...
Today fascinate me the supreme audacity of climb the inside Himalaia the pinnacle of my own being, clouds shrouded in mystery...
Today seduces me the holy adventure of climb the Everest of my own being... Shrouded in eternals clouds. On the pristine whiteness of my inner christ. In the silence of eternal truth In the mistic sacredness of ''I am''...
That's why I left the profane querência of my own self of yore and the infinit pioneer
I live of my days and my nights in order of sacred mountain which are inside me,
rises, higher, ignota, sacred.
And every sacrifice are me joys
And every sadness are me hapiness
And every thorn are me roses
And every tears are me laughts
because they are steps of the sacred mountain, stages of my inside Himalaia...
And that the storms are around you, Shoot rays over me
And chasms arise under my feet, even smiling terraces invite me to stop.
I go ahead to the Everest. Without fear of dangers. In focus of my ideal. Of my supreme realization. Toward the great beyond inside. Toward the Himalaia of my soul.

This is the song "Roll Over Beethoven" by Chuck Berry,
Pioneer of Rock n' Roll.
Berry became famous by his own style of playing, wich influenced on many of the greatest Rock n' Roll guitarists, such as Angus Young from AC/DC, Keith Richards from The Rolling Stones, George Harrison and John Lennon From the Beatles.
It's undeniable his contribution and importance to Rock n' Roll, no wonder he'd been the first inductee to the Rock n' roll hall of fame, although some people says it was Elvis, anyway.
Some of his greatest songs are Johnny B. Goode, Maybellene, Rock n'Roll Music, School Day and Roll Over Beethoven, as well.
Hope you enjoy the song!

Difference between Should, Could, Would
- You should always wear a helmet when you go out cycling on busy roads.
- Once the pack is opened, the cooked meat inside should be consumed within three days.
- Should I tell her that her son is playing truant and skipping school? ~ I think you should. She should know about it.
------------Should and Should Have-------------
Should combines with the perfect infinitive to form should have + past participle when we want to talk about past events that did not happen, but should have happened. We are talking about an expectation and referring back to past time. Compare the following:
Before Tom leaves for work, his wife advises him:
- You should take your umbrella. It might rain. ~ No, I'll be all right. I shan't need it.
But it did rain. When he arrives back home, his wife says:
- What did I tell you? You should have taken your umbrella. Then you wouldn't have got wet.
Reference to the present and future:
- You should try and smoke less, Henry. Your health isn't very good and it's getting worse.
Reference to the past:
- I should have given up smoking years ago, Mary. If I had, I wouldn't be in such bad shape now.
Would
If we want to talk about an unreal or unlikely situation that might arise now or in the future, we use a past tense in the if-clause and would + infinitive in the main clause. Compare the following and note that would is often abbreviated to 'd:
- How would you manage, if I wasn't here to help you? ~ I'd manage somehow. I wouldn't bother to cook. I'd go out to eat or bring home a take-away. I'd ask your mother to help me with the washing and the ironing. I know she'd help me.
If we want to refer to the past and make a statement about things that did not happen, we need to use had + past participle in the if clause and would have constructions in the main clause. Note in these sentences that we can use 'd as the abbreviation for both had in the if-clause and would in the main clause:
- If he'd taken an umbrella, he wouldn't have got wet on the way home.
- If he'd taken his umbrella, he'd have stayed dry.
Could can be used to ask for permission, to make a request and express ability in the past. Compare the following:
- Could I borrow your black dress for the formal dinner tomorrow? ~ Of course you can!
- Could you do me a favour and pick Pete up from the station? ~ Of course I will!
- I could already swim by the time I was three. ~ Could you really? I couldn't swim until I was eight.
As with would have, and should have, could have is used to talk about the past and refers to things that people could have done in the past, but didn't attempt to do or succeed in doing:
- I could have gone to university, if I'd passed my exams.
- If he'd trained harder, I'm sure he could have completed the swim.
Note the difference between would have and could have in the following two examples. Would have indicates certainty that he would have won if he had tried harder, could have indicates that it is a possibility. Might have is similar in meaning to could have, although the possibility is perhaps not quite as great:
- If he'd tried a bit harder, he would have won the race.
- If he'd tried a bit harder, he could have won the race.
- If he'd tried a bit harder, he might have won the race.
Example:
Should have / Could have / Wouldn't have
Note the way in which all three of these modals are combined in these exchanges which refer to a meeting that has just taken place:
- Why did you come to the meeting? It didn't need both of us. You should have known that I would be there. ~ How could I have known you'd be there? I haven't spoken to you for a fortnight! ~ If I'd known you were intending to go, I certainly wouldn't have gone!

Peter, Bjorn & John - Young Folks
Better later than never!!!! heheh
There you go, the lyric of the song:
If I told you things I did before
told you how I used to be
would you go along with someone like me
If you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me
I did before and had my share
It didn't lead nowhere
I would go along with someone like you
It doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through
and we don't care about the young folks
talking about the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talking about the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talking about our own style
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one will surprise me unless you do
I can tell there's something going on
hours seems to disappear
everyone is leaving I am still with you
It doesn't matter what we do
where we are going too
we can stick around and see this night through
and we don't care about the young folks
talking about the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talking about the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talking about our own style
all we care 'bout is talking
talking only me and you
and we don't care about the young folks
talking about the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talking about the old style too
and we don't care about their own faults
talking about our own style
All we care about is talking
talking only me and you
talking only me and you
talking only me and you
talking only me and you
