Almost all of the culture of many peoples in this world dominated by men. But amid the dominance of the magnitude of this man turns out there are some people who embrace matriarki system. Matriarki itself means a family, group, or community led by women. In this society, women have a very high position and had a huge influence. Here are six of culture which still adheres to this system and are led by women.
1. Mosuo (China)
Mosuo community living in the provinces of Sichuan and Yunnan, which borders directly with Tibet. The tribal community usually stay in a very large house and led by women. The division of roles between men and women in these places is very unique. Women take care of the problem while males have a role in politics. Every child born in this tribe would have surnames derived directly from his mother.

BriBri is a tribe which is quite small with only 13 thousand members who live in the province of Limon, Costa Rica. This community has a number of clans that came and passed down through female lineage. A legacy of the land can not be given to women only. In addition, women also have a very important role in a variety of sacred rituals of the community.
5. Garo (India)

The women in this tribe involved in the issue of leadership and various ceremonies. But their biggest role is in taking care of the land they have
The launch price for the HTC Vive has been revealed as $799. This staggering price is over $200 more expensive than the Oculus Rift, which was itself criticised for its high price point.
The company has not yet revealed any UK details on pricing, but with current conversion rates, as well as tax and shipping, the final price for UK customers looks to be around £650.
While HTC will doubtless be criticised for the Vive's expensive price tag, there were some clues that it was coming.
Speaking last year, HTC connected products marketing executive director Jeff Gattis said that the Vive would target the “high end” of the consumer market, delivering a “premium VR experience”, but at a higher initial cost.
“Starting with the premium experience, even if it has a slightly higher price point, is the right thing to do from a strategic point of view. The price can always come down as the market grows. We know there is some pent-up demand there, so there’s not so much price sensitivity early on.”
The HTC Vive is one of the big three virtual reality devices set to debut in the next six months, alongside the Oculus Rift and Sony’s Project Morpheus.
Competing with these behemoths, the Vive is also the first Steam VR device to make it to market, and takes full advantage of Valve’s platform.
The full details on the Vive's release date, pricing and technical specs can be found in our hub, but the key details are the visuals.
Visuals HTC Vive
The developer edition of the Vive has a screen with a 1,200 x 1,800 per eye resolution, and a frame-rate of 90 frames per second.
This is a far more essential figure than the resolution - while a lower quality screen will be jagged, pixelated and visually unappealing, it’s the low frame rates and high latency of earlier VR devices that were the persistent causes of motion sickness.
As the Vive demonstrates, those problems are no longer present in most cutting-edge VR hardware. The Vive is perfectly smooth and responsive, with next to zero latency, which is especially impressive given the amount of information it has to deal with.
Rather than just the positional head-tracking that current versions of the Oculus Rift use, the Vive allows for full real-time room tracking, too.
Movement HTC Vive
Thanks to two ‘lighthouse’ base stations, fitted in each corner of the room, the Vive maps out a playing area from 3ftx3ft up to 15ftx15ft in size, and allows you to move around it at will.
It also includes two motion controllers similar to Playstation’s Move batons and the forthcoming Oculus Touch units, which allow users to reach out and interact with objects in a virtual space.
Thankfully, clattering into walls and furniture won't be a problem, as Steam helpfully brings up a laser-wire boundary box, which fades into existence if you start straying too close to the edge.
Be warned though - you'll want to make sure you leave an extra arm's length of space beyond that, as you will frequently be compelled to reach beyond the grid.
Game demos HTC Vive
While there are some games such as Elite: Dangerous and Alien: Isolation that have varying degrees of jerry-rigged support for VR, there aren’t many games built specifically for virtual reality devices. As such, the main source of VR demos are short, purpose-built experiences designed primarily to show off the hardware’s capabilities.
We were lucky enough to get an extended session with the HTC Vive, courtesy of game developer Bossa Studios, who took us through some of the more interesting VR demos out there. First up was TheBluVR, an experiential demo set in an underwater landscape.
Designed initially for the Samsung GearVR, it’s not especially interactive, but it is phenomenally pretty, filled with shoals of tiny fish, manta rays, and in a particularly memorable section, coming face-to-face with a colossal blue whale.
TheBluVR game demo for HTC Vive HTC Vive
There was also a brief demo from the VR version of Bossa’s hit game, Surgeon Simulator. Contrary to TheBluVR, it doesn't feature as much movement, but has huge amounts of interactivity. The game revolves around using a somewhat wonky physics engine and a set of often hilariously unsuitable tools, from hammers to lasers, to perform various operations.
The demo in question involved removing an organ from a space alien in a zero-gravity operating theatre, and was a great demonstration of the Vive’s motion controllers. Using the two wands to pick up and manipulate various tools was incredibly intuitive and, despite the absurd setting, created a total sense of immersion.
This immersion was so great that when we tried to check the time on our watch, we only realised we were in VR when confronted with a wrist that wasn’t there. It’s a running theme, too. One of the most popular Vive demos at this year’s Games Developer Conference was a Portal-themed experience that demonstrates the immense immersive power of the medium.
Set in Portal’s Aperture Science laboratories, it comprises an environment built of pre-fabricated rooms that are constantly being taken apart, re-shuffled and rebuilt by the complex’s robotic overseer. At one point, a section of floor falls away, and gives real sense of height that borders on the vertigo-inducing.
It was realistic to the point that it’s virtually impossible to step over the edge into seeming nothingness – your brain just won’t let you. There were also several sudden jump-scares that were genuinely startling, and you can forget that you’re not really there.
The common theme throughout all of these demos and experiences was that being able to physically walk around the space improved the level of immersion and engagement exponentially. Rather than being a semi-static observer, it makes you feel like you’re genuinely part of that world.
The maximum playing space is, admittedly, a little on the small side and here the Vive is a slight victim of its own success. The environment feels so real that being confined to fifteen square feet seems unreasonable.
It’s got a similar issue with interaction, most noticeably in the Portal demo. Containing a bunch of things to interact with, the setting is so densely packed and intricately modelled that not being able to pick up and touch every little knick-knack is a jarring surprise.
Cable HTC Vive
Unfortunately the cable is also a nuisance. Sadly, VR technology just isn’t advanced enough to pump that much information back and forth from headset to PC wirelessly, so users will need to remain tethered to their machine via cables.
For static devices like the Oculus Rift and Project Morpheus, this isn’t a problem: as long as a user’s head and arms can move freely, the wires are relatively unobtrusive. Vive, however, is different. As it involves walking around, trailing cables are liable to be a lot trickier and the Vive’s wire requires frequent, conscious untangling to avoid tripping yourself up.
It can be seriously immersion-breaking, which is bad enough, but there’s also the possibility that it could prove to be a serious danger in games where speed and reaction time are key. It’s a problem, and one that won’t be fixed before the second VR generation at the earliest.
All that said, the HTC Vive is an absolute revelation, and its limitations are vastly outweighed by the sheer awe-inspiring potential of the technology. The hardware also stacks up pretty well, despite being an unfinished developer edition.
Display HTC Vive
The display isn’t pin-sharp, but within minutes, your brain simply stops noticing the very slight pixellation. It’s also something that will improve in time for the consumer model’s release.
The latency and frame rate are also spot on. Despite having to keep track of our head movements, our position and controller use, the Vive had no problem rendering everything in real-time, with no noticeable lag.
It’s also surprisingly comfortable, with space for glasses, adjustable lens distance and a reasonably unobtrusive weight. It’s not the prettiest device in the world, but given that it’s still pre-release that doesn't matter so much right now.
Overall HTC Vive
On balance, the HTC Vive is incredibly impressive. That’s not hugely surprising given Valve’s involvement, but we’re expecting the first Steam VR headset to blow a whole lot of people's minds when it comes out around Q4 this year.

Day 1 ( one ) month 1 ( one ) Lunar Calendar , or often referred to in terms mandarin " Zhen Yue Chu Yi " is the first day of the year and is celebrated as Chinese New Year or also known as the term " Chun Jie " in Chinese . The term " Chun Jie " or " Feast of Spring" is used because that day is also the beginning of the start of Spring in one year . Spring is a season of four seasons in countries located in the northern part of the planet.
There are two stories about the origins of the Chinese New Year or IMLEK , including :
1. The Giant "Nian" and Tradition Dinner Together
In the old days, there was a kind of giant highly malignant and live in the forests of the mountains, the people at the time called it a "Nian". Forms Giant "Nian" very fierce and frightening, extremely cruel nature. Food Giant "Nian" is the wild animals, birds, insects and humans. Every day eat the types of food vary.
Everyone at that time was very scared by this ferocious giants. But beriringnya time, slowly people know and master all the activities of the Giants, every 365 days, Giant Nian would go to the busy throng to hunt for prey. Giant Nian discharge time is in the evening when the sun had set and return to his mountain at dawn when the Rooster crowed.
Once you know when to appear and take control of its giant Nian, people at that time always preparing and keeping watch on the face of this ferocious giants including not sleep at night, which is then referred to as "Nian Guan".
Ways to deal with Giant Nian is:
On the night in question, every family prepare food for dinner earlier than usual, so there is no activity in the kitchen cooking.
Close and lock all doors either the front door or the back door
Hidden at home for dinner with the family, or so-called "Nian Fan Ye". Because the dinner is very dangerous and risky, the dinner will be more comfortable and special.
Offer food to the gods and ancestors to obtain the patronage of them in order to be free from the threat of giant Nian
When Spot, all family members sit in a circle as a symbol of family harmony.
After Dinner, whoever did not dare to sleep, and all the family members sitting close together so do not be afraid to Dawn, Rooster crowing indicating that it is free from the threat of giant Nian.
Thus Dinner customs and traditions not to be on the eve of the Lunar New Year and lasts up to now become tradition Typical Lunar New Year although currently there is no threat of giant Nian again. Feelings of fear and worry is no more, there is feeling happy, happy and full of hope.
2. Creation of the IMLEK Lunar Calendar , the young man named "Wan Nian"
In the old days in mainland China there was a young man named "Wan Nian [万年]" to see the chaos of the season at the time of the calculation, there was an intention to improve the way the season to make it more accurate calculation. One day, the young man tired of working and sit under a tree to rest. He was then inspired by Shadow Tree engaged thus creating a tool for monitoring the movement of the sun's shadow in order to determine and measure the time in one day.
Then, the water droplets from the cliff also inspired him to create a five-story tool named "Wu Ceng Lou Hu [五层 漏壶]" to measure time.
With the tools that he created, he found that each season will be repeated every day 360s.
The king then called "Zu Yi [祖乙]" is also often confused with the problem situation seasonal changes can not be predicted. Youth "Wan Nian" then brings his creation tools to meet the King. King Zu Yi very happy to listen to explanations about the calculation of seasonal changes found by Wan Wan Nian Nian and asked to stay at the Palace. The king built a building named "Ri Yue Ge" or "Pavilion of the Sun Moon" to know the laws of nature on the day and the month. Can more accurately determine the time dawn and dusk each day, creating a calendar for the benefit and welfare of its people.
One day, the king went to Sun Moon Pavilion (Ri Yue Ge) to find out more about the development of the manufacturing calendar, he saw a poem engraved on the side of the pavilion Sun Moon:
Roughly translates like this :
- The sun rises and sinks for three hundred and sixty , and continuously repeating
- Grass and trees withered bloom is divided into four seasons , there are 12 full moon
Knowing Wan Nian has been successful , the King went to see Wan Nian is located in the Pavilion . Wan Nian shows astrology and said to King Zu Yi , " now 12 months is already full , one year is over, Spring is back again . Wan Nian Zu Yi then asked King to determine the Hari Raya in question . King Zu Yi then said : " Now is the Spring which is also the first season in a year , then we call it the Feast of Spring " . That is the origin of the first advent of the Feast of Spring or the Lunar New Year that we know today.
