Rio de Janeiro cableway

Hi Guys!!!!
At first, I decided to write about Tanzania's monkeys, but later I decided to write about cableway of Rio de Janeiro. It was made in 1908. In 1908, it had only 1 cable car, and the cable car ran only once a day. But now,The cable cars run every 30 minutes, between 8 am and 10 pm. They are glassed in for safety and have a capacity of about 65 people.
The first part of the line, from the starting station to the stop off station at Morro da Urca, has a length of 600 metres (2,000 ft), with the maximum speed of 6 metres (20 ft) per second (21.6 kilometres per hour (13.4 mph)). Morro da Urca is situated at an altitude of 722 feet (220 m). It contains a cafe, snack bar, restaurant, souvenir stands, and a children's play area. The second part of the line, Morro da Urca to Sugarloaf, has a length of 850 metres (2,790 ft), with a maximum speed of 10 metres (33 ft) per second (36 kilometres per hour (22 mph)). The latter part of the trip up to 1,299 feet (396 m) on Sugarloaf, particularly towards the top, is very steep. 
Also I spoke about Sugarloaf, but forgot to say that Sugarloaf is the mountain of Rio, where is situated the monument of Jesus. 
And now some pictures:)

The secret of longevity

Some people say, that the secret of longevity is doing exercises. Others say, that the secret is in Food which people eat. The third part of people say, that the secret is in emotions. As I think, all of this are true, but the secret is desire, I mean how yo want to live. If you say that life is very boring and you don't want to live any more, then you won't live long and happy. If you say that live is very interesting and you want to live long, then you will. When I was 10, I saw a movie called "The Secret", The film was very boring for me, because There wasn't any action and I didn't understand the main idea of that movie. Today I watched that again and understood everything. Here is the movie.


Halloween


In October 31, we celebrated Halloween. The word Halloween came from word All Hallows' Eve, also known as All Saints' Eve and Allhallowe'en. This holiday was celebrated by Celtic-speaking countries BC. Nowadays there are over 36 countries, which officially celebrate Halloween, including UK and USA. The "Icons" of Halloween are pumpkins,scary masks and costumes and phrase "Trick or Treat".
Now I will speak about costumes. Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as vampires, monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Over time, in the United States the costume selection extended to include popular characters from fiction, celebrities, and generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses. Dressing up in costumes and going "guising" was prevalent in Ireland and Scotland at Halloween by the late 19th century.Costuming became popular for Halloween parties in the US in the early 20th century, as often for adults as for children. The first mass-produced Halloween costumes appeared in stores in the 1930s when trick-or-treating was becoming popular in the United States.
Now about  Halloween pumpkins. This pumpkins are also called with term Jack-o'-lantern. The origin of the term jack-o'-lantern carving is uncertain. The carving of vegetables has been a common practice in many parts of the world, with gourds being the earliest plant species domesticated by humans c. 10,000 years ago, primarily for their carving potential. Gourds were used to carve lanterns by the Maori over 700 years ago, with the Māori word for a gourd also used to describe a lampshade. There is a common belief that the custom of carving jack-o'-lanterns at Hallowe'en originated in Ireland, where turnips, mangelwurzel or beets were supposedly used. According to historian Ronald Hutton, in the 19th century, Hallowe'en guisers in parts of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands commonly used jack-o'-lanterns made from turnips and mangelwurzels. They were "often carved with grotesque faces to represent spirits or goblins". In these areas, 31 October to 1 November was known as Samhain and it was seen as a time when spirits or fairies were particularly active. Hutton says that they were also used at Hallowe'en in Somerset during the 19th century. Christopher Hill also writes that "jack-o'-lanterns were carved out of turnips or squashes and were literally used as lanterns to guide guisers on All Hallows' Eve." Some claim that the jack-o'-lanterns originated with All Saints' Day (1 November)/All Souls' Day (2 November) and represented Christian souls in purgatory. Bettina Arnold writes that they were sometimes set on windowsills to keep the harmful spirits out of one's home.
Now some pictures of Hallowe'en :)

Tomorrow's technology

Hi!
Today I will speak about tomorrow's technology :D I love speaking about technologies, but as I remember, I didn't predict the future of the technology in the past. Today I will show you some pictures of robots that I think will be in the future.
 1. Toyota Fun Vii.
This can will allow you to drive by special lights, and from lights it will get energy. This means, that this car will work without fuel. Also this car will show you navigation and  will say how you must drive by a voice, which will come from a hologram. this car will have "auto drive" mode.


 2. Nano Robots
The most exciting thing about this  robots is that their size will be 10-9 mm. This robots will fight vs viruses, which are out of our body.



















3. Medical Robots
Medical robot's size will also be 10-9 , like nano robots. This robots will do the same function as antibodies.

4.Robot Soldier
This robots will fight instead us.

From 50 years the earth will change, that's what I think. Thanks for reading!!!!
