2011 Carnival Season From Around The World

<div style="text-align: justify;">Carnival Season is a festive season which occurs usually during February. Carnival Season typically involves a public celebration or parade combining some elements of a circus, mask and public street party, as a way to usher out the winter and welcome spring. People often dress up or masquerade during the celebrations, which mark an overturning of daily life.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Across Europe and the Americas, parades and festivals have been taking place for nearly a month, culminating in the largest, most famous party of all: the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Brazilian Carnival is one of the best-known celebrations today, but many cities and regions worldwide celebrate with large, popular, and days-long events. The Carnival of Rio de Janeiro is the biggest carnival in the world, and the biggest popular party on the planet, according to The Guinness Book of World Records 2010.

Why We Work 8 Hours Daily?

<div style="text-align: justify;">During the Industrial Revolution, companies attempted to maximize the output of their factories by keeping them running as many hours as possible, typically implementing <i>a sun up to sun down</i> work day. The typical work day at this time lasted anywhere from 10-18 hours per day, six days a week. This all began to change in the 19th century.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrh2XX29-OmPVX1FiSIzPobv7H596AynCsX3eN5qb5VeyyRWiCLl4dS8WSJcKQeQEhzTQ8fWAMlFbDXX_2ZKTU_WxqVuTIGcmF7HEqt0ua4CotpJzwdJP-GjxGoze0FHeqoCsrrPsr0Tw/s1600/histmss.001168.0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrh2XX29-OmPVX1FiSIzPobv7H596AynCsX3eN5qb5VeyyRWiCLl4dS8WSJcKQeQEhzTQ8fWAMlFbDXX_2ZKTU_WxqVuTIGcmF7HEqt0ua4CotpJzwdJP-GjxGoze0FHeqoCsrrPsr0Tw/s400/histmss.001168.0001.jpg" width="395"></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">British man by the name of Robert Owen felt that the work day should be divided into thirds, with workers getting equal time to themselves and to sleep as they do for work.  Thus, in 1817, he began campaigning for an eight hour working day for all workers, coining the phrase, <i>Eight hours labour, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest</i>.  Unfortunately, this did not catch on for some time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><a href="http://aibob.blogspot.com/2011/08/why-typical-work-day-is-eight-hours.html#more">Click to read more »</a>

Lala-Tulip Mosque In Ufa Russia

<div style="text-align: justify;">At the end of the XVIII century Empress Catherine II issued a decree to form the Ufa Mohammedan Spiritual Assembly of the Law, headed by the Mufti. Since then, Ufa became the center of Muslim Russia. In 1998 one of the most unusual and beautiful mosques, Lala-Tulip was built in Ufa.
