      Russia is our sacred state,
      Russia is our beloved land.
      The powerful strength and the great glory
      Are your properties for all the time.
      CHORUS:
      Long live our Fatherland, land of the free,
      The eternal union of brothers nations,
      Given by ancestors the people's wiseness!
      Long live our land! We are proud of you!

      Slavsia, Otechestvo nashe svobodnoe,
      Bratskikh narodov soiuz vekovoi,
      Predkami dannaia mudrost' narodnaia!
      Slavsia, strana! My gordimsia toboi!
      Ot yuzhykh morei do poliarnogo kraia
      Raskinulis nashi lesa i polia.
      Odna ty na svete! Odna ty takaia -
      Khranimaia Bogom rodnaia zemlia!
      CHORUS
      Shirokii prostor dlia mechty i dlia zhizni
      Griadushie nam otkryvaiut goda.
      Nam silu daiot nasha vernost otchizne.
      Tak bylo, tak est' i tak budet vsegda!

    In Indonesia there season kite fighting too, usually during long school holidays. We use a special sharp thread for kite fighting called a Gelasan, when I was kid my palms were full of wounds because of the thread, when the enemy's kite lose, a lot of kids chased kite for trophy.

    O The New York Times deveria ter melhores propósitos que somente mostrar que não é só nos EUA que existem favelas e cortiços, vai ver por isso tantas avaliações negativas.
    Se um repórter brasileiro fosse fazer uma reportagem nos EUA, e que duvido que seria transmitida por um jornal norte americano, também iria onde os mais humildes e esquecidos pelo Governo estão vivendo. Quem sabe vivendo em um dos vários acampamentos onde norte americanos pobres e endividados vivem, dentro de trailers ou carros, talvez teriam como diversão algo tão simples e barato de se conseguir quanto uma "kite". Nesta matéria a real intensão é mostrar as favelas do Rio de Janeiro, quase nada de conteúdo sobre as "kites" do Brasil foi noticiado.
    Exemplo 1:
    Aqui em São Paulo também tem dessas batalhas aéreas, muitos compram "linha chilena e tailandesa" vulgarmente denominadas "cerol". Dificilmente hoje em dia eles fabricam o cerol, o seu uso é proibido por Lei estadual e municipal em São Paulo. As "kites" com rabo, chamadas "rabiolas" são mais comuns por aqui, as distâncias entre os oponentes são maiores então as carretilhas devem ter sempre um mínimo de 2 km de linha.
    Todos os anos as linhas contendo cerol causam dezenas de amputações e acidentes fatais, principalmente entre motoqueiros e crianças pequenas. Nas crianças a amputação de dedos, nariz e orelha são dados como acidentes domésticos, já os motoqueiros são degolados, os acidentes sempre resultam em um laudo diferente da causa real.
    Exemplo 2:
    Como o "eolismo de caça" estava ficando marginalizado, decidi usar meus recursos pessoais para criar um revestimento á base de pó cerâmico e adesivo de cura gradual. Em contato com outras linhas as paríiculas cerâmicas destroem as fibras de algodão das outras linhas, ao mesmo tempo ela gira em torno do próprio eixo impedindo ser cortada.
    Inventei um revestimento para linhas usadas em "eolismo de caça" que não machuca, mas, sem verba para divulgar o produto fiquei sem opções de como ajudar.
