In 1987 Euclides da Cunha, celebrated for his novel “Sertões”, was sent to
“damn camp” in the Bahian town of Canudos by the then Republican newspaper O Estado de São Paulo.
There he saw in the revolt led by anacoreta Antonio Conselheiro, was not the contrast “technical progress against religious primitivism” (Cunha, 2015, p. 81), but that “at crucial times in which we are obliged to accept or not learn to deal eatIn 1987 Euclides da Cunha, celebrated for his novel “Sertões”, was sent to “damn camp” in the Bahian town of Canudos by the then Republican newspaper O Estado de São Paulo.
There he saw in the revolt led by anacoreta Antonio Advisor, was not the contrast “technical progress against religious primitivism” (Cunha, 2015, p. 81), but that “at crucial times in which we are obliged to accept or not learn to deal eat indifference. “(ibid).
Cunha cites according to Rodrigo Gurgel analysis in “Forsaken and Understated” that the soldier who turns up dead in Euclides da Cunha’s novel may have been fictional, placed apena to say that there were other factors in Canudos Campaign.
Cunha also analyzes that another author is interested in the real nature, Lima Barreto, that the opening of the fifth chapter of sad end of Policarpo Quaresma (1916), Cunha makes a long described, but here only quote the end, “every crazy brings in you your world and for him there is more like: what was before the craziness is another much other than it comes to being after “(cited in Cunha, 2015, p 85).
The number of crazy growing up in Rio de Janeiro in the early century, says Cunha: “Rio was a social”inferno and this climate of terror was transmitted to the writer, who could not keep up with the fury of the progress that seemed to drag everyone without asking permission “(Cunha, 2015, p. 87).
Is not as important to know that Lima Barreto was one of his victims, and although it is possible a parallel with Euclides da Cunha, but that among the forgotten Straws, of hospices and ‘The cemetery of the living’ (Barreto of life in hospice ) are Indians, blacks, mulattoes, and many others that we now turn.. “(ibid).

Resentment and ambiguities of the Brazilian
30
Mar
Portrayed by several authors, as “patriarch of brazilian literature”
José de Alencar in several novels, but especially Senhora (Lady) portrays mode “dainty” term used by the writer and derided by Martim Vasques da Cunha, depicts the “commodification of love “and not only, but the ambiguity” here is not the result of a technique, but a confusion.” (Cunha, 2015, p. 57).
We returned a little behind, Senhora (Lady is 1875) because some analyzes interested in, for example, Antonio Candido in the formation of Brazilian literature states that “the complex perception of evil, abnormal or repression, as obstacles to perfection and as a permanent element in human conduct “(apud. Cunha, 2015, p. 57), where this complexity is because” we do not know to do anything else but we buy each other “(Cunha, 2015, p. 58).
Clarifies Martim Vasques da Cunha, this “love” is nothing more than the transposed romanticism of Europe to base our own intentions, that already manifest in money suitors in Eugenie Grandet of Balzac (1833) or Madame Bovary more faithful to romantic style published in 1857.
Properly analyzed by Vasques da Cunha, Memórias de um Sargento de Milícias (Memoirs of a Militia Sergeant – 1854) is a more realistic picture of the Brazilian romanticism of the time, where “the exuberance of language added to the clear and direct summer goes against any attempt to sweeten the characters who move in imperial society through an overblown rhetoric “(Cunha, 2015, p. 60).
The difference between Alencar and Manuel Antonio de Almeida is that “this avoids making any kind of moral judgment in his account” (Cunha, 2015, p. 61).
The contradiction of Leonardo character, son of Leonardo Pataca, despite the subtle criticism of the court society, it seems in certain analyzes, such as Antonio Candido to praise the “dialectic of trickery,” but that is only still strong signs romanticism in style, as said Cunha (pg. 62) that “all is well that ends well.”, any example is Zé Carioca in the Disney filme: Hello friends in 1942 ( Alô, amigos de 1942) is a brazilian´s trickery.

Machado de Assis and brazilian politic
28
Mar
Borrowed by a friend started reading the Dust of glory: one (unexpected)
history of Brazilian literature, in portuguese: A poeira da glória: uma (inesperada) história da literatura brasileira, Martim Vasques da Cunha (Rio de Janeiro: Record, 2015), which is an attempt to revisit more than the national literature, peer into the Brazilian soul.
Of course it could not be present Machado de Assis, born on 21 June 1839 in Rio de Janeiro, then capital of the Empire of Brazil (brazilian royalistit), highlight here according to the author the work of his maturity Esau and Jacob (1904) to have would be called the last, despite the author “seem to believe that is the lack of direction the who commands the things of this world “(Cunha, 2015, p. 32), typical of the nihilism of the early twentieth century, and the crisis is at the time.
Take the conflict (or conflicts) in the Brazilian soul present in the “poor” Flora “soul torn between two rival twins – the royalist Peter and Paul Republican, symmetrical in relation to the two apostles and two Hebrew patriarchs. Not knowing who and what should be chosen, it loses its vital forces and died in the prime of youth … “(ibid).
It is curious da Cunha Vasques analysis, as a rereading of Esau and Jacob, says wedge that is a kind of “abandonment ontology” with a “dangerous skepticism about the mechanisms of politics” (idem) and in this context its a figure that is a kind of alter ego of Machado de Assis, the Counselor Aires, which will become clearer in the Memorial Aires, this rather the “last” Machado de Assis’s novel.
so reports Cunha “Aires wants to be embodied tolerance, but all it does is to relativize things, is what is good is what is bad, just not to attack the sensitivity of others. “(Cunha, 2015, p. 33), which seems to be the speech of the current tolerance, sometimes balls, democracy becomes manifesting this is normal, just and right politically, of course within a rational and democratic normality allow this to everyone.
The critical author Machado de Assis explains in Memorial de Aires, that changing the name of “Confectionery Empire” to “Confectionery of the Republic,” replacing the name that he was “rotten inside” in a novel that gives a enormous weight to the names, typical of symbolism Aires hesitates and does not know what to say, then say it might be better to write “Confectionery Osório,” a sort of “guardian of the Brazilian people. “.
Wilson Martins is intertwined with the Axe opinion of Assisi, who seemed criicar, saying “the proclamation of the Republic, far from the profound social transformation and affirmed by political propagandists and revolutionaries … it was just a change of tablet – confectionery still the same. “. (Cunha, 2015, p. 33)
Humility and Jesus´s wash feet
24
Mar
The concept seems clear, but it is not, most people keep resentment when they are in front of 
someone who has a quality the most, be it human, material, spiritual, intellectual, or even in a particular skill, an athlete for example, so do not to be confused with self-pity or unworthiness, a baker is good for making bread.
The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche scoffed at this, saying that humility is a false virtue that conceals the disillusionment that some people hide within themselves, partly true, but there humildades recognizing the own merit use not to put others in a condition unworthiness, as someone who is wise but only uses light to illuminate and not to cause a sense of inferiority in others.
The standpoint of Immanuel Kant is more complex, for it was the central virtue of life in an interesting paradox this may be a vanity, to be humble, not by chance formulated a moral principle based on it that says that we should be reference for others.
The humility of Jesus to wash his disciples’ feet have this light paper, wisdom, as this was done only by slaves at the time, and one of the disciples said that Jesus should not do this, what the teacher refutes saying that not do will not part with it, then the disciples do not understand again says then can wash the whole body, the master explains it is not necessary to bathe who is clean.
Taking what is impure, bad or immoral in another is rather an attitude of humility, because humility is not omission or oppression, it is light and wisdom, but putting up “next to” the Other.
Baudelaire and modernism
23
Mar
In 1857, on June 25 they were published The Charles Baudelaire Flowers
of Evil, French poet of riotous living, which made the father sent to India, and after receiving the paternal inheritance, his own mother sued.
Considered a landmark of modern poetry and symbolist, Baudelaire is a portrait of a society in decay in the nineteenth century and serves to understand a bit of contemporary society, although the Brazilian matrix is Iberian, with golds nuances.
The German symbolizes Carlos Schwabe (pseudonym of Emile Martin Charles Schwabe) illustrated with the work next to the book The flowers of evil.
Launched the book was soon violently attacked by Le Figaro and collected by insult to the “good manners”, but the Baudelaire himself said about his book: “In this atrocious book, I put all my thoughts, all my heart, all my religion ( travesty), all my hate. ‘
Because the book was a 300 francs fine (reduced later to 50) and the editor to a fine of 100 francs and still had to remove six poems to launch the book.
The book can be divided as follows: the fall; the expulsion from paradise; love; eroticism; decay; the death; the time; exile and boredom, but in French received the names: Spleen et Idéal (Boredom and Ideal), Tableux Parisien (Parisian Tables) Le Vin (Wine), Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil), Revolte (Revolt ) and La Mort (Death).
Soon we will revisited the week of modern art and Brazilian culture.
After printer, now 3D pen

After the printer, 3D pens It is the launch of WobbleWorks company, creator
of the first mercado, 3D pen announced the launch of a children’s version of the portable printer called 3Doodler Start a portable printer, reference 3D printers.
The company ensures that it is completely safe, the pen now available for children is a version of the pen “adult” 3D 3Dooler launched in 2013 but had a successful release in 2015.
For this release the controls and operation have been simplified for use by children (actually the recommended minimum age is 8 years), to leave the plastic simply press the single button on the pen to start the output of plastic that is overheated internally.
The market that all copies did not wait long, since there are several alternative models, one is the Lix Pen, a pen developed by a team of designers and engineers with 14mm diameter, the object has the body made of aluminum and concentrates a weight 40 grams, and there are many other eastern origin.
The 3D printers followed the front of this market, their designs are more accurate, faster and generally were made by artists, but this new market that encourages individual creativity, particularly teenagers tend to grow.
Talking to computers

Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) researchers are developing
a high-speed language processing system, which attempt to reproduce human efficiency of decision-making in slang, words shortening and other language vices that are embedded in everyday “While we human speakers can often understand and respond to what someone is saying to us in a fraction of a second, a typical voice interface will require much longer–often a second or two–to try to understand what you have said and respond in an appropriate way,” as said Professor David USC DeVault to NSF Foundation’s website.

Researchers are looking for new techniques that can simplify man-machine conversation, allowing the system to perform all computer processing steps required in any real-time while a user is talking, the systems available for smartphones are still slow and annoying.
The researchers note that systems often fail to realize what it means that what is said and how it should respond before the user has finished speaking.
For demonstration developed an agent for high performance game called Eve, where users describe the images they see on the computer screen and the agent tries to guess what they are talking fast and as accurately as possible, that is, trying imitate humans.
The system uses speech processing algorithms “incremental” to increase the speed of understanding agent, as described DeVault to the NSF website: “These findings underscore the importance of enabling systems to not only understand what users are saying, but to do so as quickly as a human would,” said DeVault.
It is the future coming and unlike saying that automatic translation systems are not possible, this system, although embryonic, could revolutionize the translation and conversation with machines.
