Deadly Games - The olympic games in Rio...
It is a "must read" article. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=110510/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.
Enjoy...

Climbing The Inside Himalaia
In the past I wanted to climb the Himalaia at Asia so far from me...
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.

If you watch it you'll find out the language they speaking is not english.

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
Should is used to give advice and make recommendations and to talk about obligation, duty and what is expected to happen. Reference is to the present and the future. Should is similar to must but is not as strong as must:
------------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:
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:
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:
Could can be used to ask for permission, to make a request and express ability in the past. Compare the following:
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:
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:
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:
All information is form http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/grammar/learnit/learnitv195.shtml
- 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!
