China Builds 30-Story Hotel In Just 15 Days! (video)
Broad Group, a Chinese construction company in Hunan Province has built a hotel. At 30 stories tall and 183,000-square feet, the hotel itself is nothing extraordinary. What is extraordinary is the time the company needed to build it.
Just 360 hours, or 15 days!
But Broad Group didn’t sacrifice quality for speed. Their hotel is sturdy, earthquake-safe up to magnitude 9. It’s sustainable architecture design has 4-paned insulated windows and a smart heat conservation system. The company boasts an energy efficiency five times that of conventional hotels. Air filters also make the hotel’s air 20 times the purity of conventional hotels. No small convenience in smog-smothered China. Here’s the amazing time-lapse video.
As you can see, the workers made use of all 360 hours, working around the clock. Not sure why they play the video twice. Maybe it’s so fast you might miss it the first time. The amazing speed, of course, would be impossible were the materials not prefabricated. One curiosity of mine, however, and that of many YouTube viewers is the method by which they got the crane out of the center of the hotel. Maybe it doubles as an elevator.
Russian scientists to attempt clone of woolly mammoth
Scientists from Russia and Japan are undertaking a Jurassic Park-style experiment in an effort to bring the woolly mammoth out of extinction.
The scientists claim that a thigh bone found in August contains remarkably well-preserved marrow cells, which could form the starting point of the experiment.The team claim that the cloning could be complete within the next five years.But others have cast doubt on whether such a thing is possible.
Mother cow?
The team, from the Siberian mammoth museum and Japan’s Kinki University, said that they planned to extract a nucleus from the animal’s bone marrow and insert it into the egg of an African elephant.
Similar procedures have been done before with mixed results.
In 2009 it was reported that the recently extinct Pyrenean ibex was brought back to life briefly using 10-year-old DNA from the animal’s skin. The cloned ibex died within minutes of being born, due to breathing difficulties.
The Roslin Institute, famous for cloning Dolly the sheep, no longer conducts cloning work but has published some thoughts on the possibilities of bringing extinct species back to life. It said it was extremely unlikely such an experiment would be successful, especially using an elephant surrogate.
"First, a suitable surrogate mother animal is required. For the mammoth this would need to be a cow (as best biological fit) but even here the size difference may preclude gestation to term," it said.
The success rate for such an experiment would be in the range of 1-5%, it said.
The second issue would be the need for viable whole cells.
"If there are intact cells in this tissue they have been ‘stored’ frozen. However, if we think back to what actually happened to the animal – it died, even if from the cold, the cells in the body would have taken some time to freeze. This time lag would allow for breakdown of the cells, which normally happens when any animal dies. Then the carcass would freeze. So it is unlikely that the cells would be viable," it said.
Assuming that viable cells are found it becomes a numbers game, it went on.
"Let’s say that one in a thousand cells were nevertheless viable, practical issues come into play. Given that we have an efficiency of 1% cloning for livestock species and if only one in a thousand cells are viable then around 100,000 cells would need to be transferred," it said.
Hybrid
Charles Foster, a fellow at Green Templeton College, Oxford, seemed more optimistic.
"The idea of mammoth cloning isn’t completely ridiculous.
"How the resultant embryos would fare beyond the stage of a few cells is more or less unknown," he said.
While most of the genetic coding of the embryo would come from the mammoth, some would come from the elephant ovum.
"We really don’t know what the contribution of that cytoplasmic material is, or how it would interact with ‘alien’ DNA," he said.
It would however mean that, even if successful, the clone would be a hybrid rather than a pure mammoth.
Firefighters watch as couple’s home burns to the ground (because they hadn’t paid $75 subscription fee)
A couple stood helplessly by and watched their home and valuables go up in flames because a team of firefighters refused to help – as they had not paid their ‘subscription fees’. 
Vicky Bell and her boyfriend managed to escape from their trailer home but did not have time to grab many personal belongings.
Miss Bell, from Tennessee, said the blaze was terrifying – but almost as shocking was seeing fire trucks sitting in the distance and doing nothing to help.
Lost Civilization Discovered in Sahara Desert
An ancient mudbrick village with a castle-like structure emerges in Libya.
New evidence of a lost civilization in an area of the Sahara in Libya has emerged from images taken by satellites.
Using satellites and air photographs to identify the remains in one of the most inhospitable parts of the desert, a team from the University of Leicester in England has discovered more than 100 fortified farms and villages with castle-like structures and several towns, most dating between AD 1 to 500.
"It is like someone coming to England and suddenly discovering all the medieval castles. These settlements had been unremarked and unrecorded under the Gadhafi regime," said project leader David Mattingly, professor of Roman archaeology at the university. The fall of the regime has opened up Libya to more exploration by archaeologists of its pre-Islamic heritage.
These "lost cities" were built by a little-known ancient civilization called the Garamantes, whose lifestyle and culture was far more advanced and historically significant than ancient sources had suggested. [Related: History’s Most Overlooked Mysteries]
Castle-like complexes
The team from the University of Leicester has identified the mud brick remains of the castle-like complexes, with walls still standing up to 13 feet (4 meters) high, along with traces of dwellings, cairn cemeteries, associated field systems, wells and sophisticated irrigation systems. Follow-up ground surveys earlier this year confirmed the pre-Islamic date and remarkable preservation of the sites.
"Satellite imagery has given us the ability to cover a large region. The evidence suggests that the climate has not changed over the years and we can see that this inhospitable landscape with zero rainfall was once very densely built up and cultivated. These are quite exceptional ancient landscapes, both in terms of the range of features and the quality of preservation," said Martin Sterry, who has been responsible for much of the image analysis and site interpretation.
The findings challenge a view dating back to Roman accounts that the Garamantes consisted of barbaric nomads and troublemakers on the edge of the Roman Empire.
Evidence that Oklahoma is having a MAN MADE earthquake swarm
OIL ROAD just north of the epicenter — FRAC well tanks all around (2005 image!!)
Recently, over the past several months, several earthquake swarms have occurred in Colorado/New Mexico border, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.
All of these swarms have been VERIFIED oil/fracking fields (FRAC well drilling) … seen simply by looking at satellite images of the areas .. for sure ‘frac’ drilling pads and oil wells within a mile at each of these above mentioned locations.
The past 24 hours, 11/5/2011 and 11/6/2011, over a dozen earthquakes rocked a “Fracking” field in central Oklahoma. One of the nearby roads to this quake epicenter is OIL road !
Here are the statistics including the coordinates of the quakes:

Was Pope Paul VI Replaced by an Impostor?
‘In 1973, the Marian Press,Georgetown, Ontario, Canada sent the Pinkerton Detective Agency to Rome to investigate “substitutes” used to represent Paul VI. The evidence gathered at that time was positive. 
The impostor Pope was first photographed December 11, 1974. He had an elementary education and due of the lack of proper education, was not adequately in a position to answer questions and issues with coherence.
This lack of proper training was clearly evident when some European statesmen were granted private audiences from the Fall of 1975. When queries of depth and coherence were submitted his way, his responses took the shape of comments rather than answers, but unwarily without the quality or capacity habitual to his distinguished guests. From such occasions, it was unanimous to these statesmen and Church dignitaries that something was rotten in Rome.’
Israeli Guilty of First Organ Trafficking Case in US History
Rosenbaum was identified to the FBI seven years ago as a major figure in 
a global human organ ring.
An Israeli man who lives in Brooklyn pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges of brokering a kidney transplant as part of a black market organ business. This is the first human organ trafficking conviction in the United States. For many years, Israel has been at the top of organ trafficking. Rosenbaum received at least $450,000 for trafficked organs.
Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, 60, confessed to three counts of acquiring human organs for transportation and one count of conspiracy in Trenton, N.J. Rosenbaum also admitted that three ailing people paid him a total of $410,000 to arrange illegal kidney transplants. He was caught in an undercover sting operation by the FBI when an agent paid him $10,000.
Lawyers for Rosebaum, who lives in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn, tried to paint him as an individual trying to help his fellow man in need.
“The transplant surgeries occurred in prestigious American hospitals and were performed by experienced and expert kidney transplant surgeons,” said attorneys Richard Finkel and Ronald Kleinberg in a statement reported by the Associated Press. “The transplants were successful and the donors and the recipients are now leading full and healthy lives… the recipients are no longer burdened by the medical and substantial health dangers associated with dialysis and kidney failure.”
Rosenbaum admitted that he would assist the donors and the recipients to coordinate a false story that would deceive hospital officials into believing that the donation was completely voluntary and was not part a monetary transaction.
Proven: Dads also biologically wired to help raise children
CHICAGO: Fatherhood lowers testosterone levels, United States researchers said they have confirmed, making it easier for men to be involved in raising children.
High levels of the hormone can rev up a man’s sex drive, increase risk-taking behaviours and raise the need for social dominance. Those factors can help win a mate but are poor traits when it comes to raising a baby, which requires cooperation from both parents. “Our study shows that human fathers are biologically wired to help with the job,” said Christopher Kuzawa of Northwestern University, who worked on the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Prior studies have shown fathers tend to have lower testosterone than men who have no children but it was not clear whether fatherhood was the cause or that men with lower testosterone were more likely to become fathers.
The Northwestern study tried to answer that question by following a group of more than 600 men from the Philippines over five years. The men were not fathers at the start of the study. The team saw clearly that right after the men became fathers, their testosterone levels dropped, at least for a short time.
Alan Watt The Television is The Greatest Scientific Indoctrination Tool Ever Devised
Alan Watt The Television is The Greatest Scientific Indoctrination Tool Ever Devised
As soon as I turned off the TV 3 years ago, a new world has opened up to me. I will NEVER go back to watching TV again. I still watch some TV shows on-line though. But never on TV. the good thing about internet is that I am on command , I watch what I want not what is programmed for me , I can interact instead of setting there passively absorbing the messages from the TV and being hypnotized and indoctrinated , get rid of your TV if you have not done it yet you will be glad you did …Say NO! to television. The word is entrainment, not entertainment.Television is Mass Hypnotic and Indoctrination
Television is the great big loser going in the 21st century. I want to live in reality, NOT in a world of make believe. I was basically very sick of the rhetoric and lies that television projected. So I tuned it off forever. I want to define my own reality and create a world of honesty and sincerity. LIfe is much better without their mindless nonsense and lies. I wish that more people would just tune out, and forget television for good. "We’ll be in a world envisioned by Orwell in about 10 years…..and I’m being optimistic"……………Telescreens in Walmarts with TSA telling us to report each other on "terror", thousands of CCTV cameras in London, making a start to a spread of this across the globe, intrusive pat downs for taking a flight, War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. It’s making more and more sense to the sensible.

Ancient Aliens (History Channel) Season 2
Episode 1:Mysterious Places
This episode examines locations around the Earth that are proposed “hot spots” of UFO activity; such as the Bermuda Triangle; Mexico’s “Zone of Silence” an area of land said to naturally disrupt radio signals; the portal-like structure at Peru’s Puerta de Hayu Marka; and the curious rock formations of the Markawasi Plateau.
Episode 2:Gods and Aliens
This episode looks at legends about powerful gods and fearsome monsters that have similarities between different cultures separated by vast distances, and suggests that they may be eyewitness accounts of alien visitations. Also discussed are tales of gods interacting with humans, imparting wisdom and technology and impregnating women to create demigods who are supposedly offspring of human/alien unions.
Episode 3:Underwater Worlds
This episode suggests that various underwater structures and ruins found around the globe may have been used by extraterrestrials; such as the temple ruins found under Lake Titicaca in Peru; the geometric structures of Yonaguni off the coast of Japan, and ancient Indian texts that allegedly describe other sunken cities yet to be discovered.
Episode 4:Underground Aliens
This episode theorizes that various underground places may have been extraterrestrial lairs; such as a lost cave in Ecuador said to hold metal tablets containing alien knowledge; the underground city of Derinkuyu in Turkey; Native American legends of “inner-earth” beings; and rumors of a secret U.S. Military-base supposedly built alongside aliens inside the Archuleta Mesa near Dulce, New Mexico.
Episode 5:Aliens and the Third Reich
This episode speculates that Nazi Germany had experimented with advanced alien technology and built flying machines; such as the Haunebu and the Die Glocke (The Bell); and rumours that some of this technology may have made its way to the United States and helped jump start the Apollo program.
Episode 6: Alien Tech
This episode proposes that some advanced weapon technology currently in development, such as laser and sonic weapons, are rediscovered technology used by advanced beings in the past. Also discussed are theories that aliens provided gravity manipulation devices to help man construct colossal stone structures around the world.
Episode 7:Angels and Aliens
This episode looks at various stories of angelic visitations that to some ancient astronaut theorists read more like alien encounters than divine appearances, and suggests they are not supernatural beings, but visitors from distant planets.
Episode8: Unexplained Structures
This episode suggests that various sites around the world; such Göbekli Tepe in Turkey; the Incan ruins of Sacsayhuamán in Peru; the Carnac stones of France; and Zorats Karer in Armenia, show construction techniques and mathematical concepts that were not believed to have been known at the time, and that this knowledge was gained from alien visitors.
Episode 9: Alien Devastations
This episode surmises that aliens may have caused various disasters, as depicted in the Bible and other texts, or even tried to warn man of them; such as Noah of the Great Flood. Also proposed is that some disasters ushered changes in human evolution and that our leaps in technology over the centuries were achieved with alien help.
Episode 10: Alien Contacts
This episode proposes that extraterrestrials may have contacted various humans throughout history, such as Moses and Joan of Arc, to help guide and inspire them to achieve great things; or to pass on important messages for humanity; such as a supposed binary message given to a UFO-contactee during the 1980 Rendlesham Forest incident who believes it is the coordinates to a mythical island called Hy-Brazil.
Chariots of the Gods- Did travelers from outer space visit Earth in our ancient past?
Documentary based on the book by Erich Von Daniken concerning the ancient mysteries of the world, such as the pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, ancient cave drawings, the monuments of Easter Island, etc. and the fact that these things and modern civilization could have been influenced by extra-terrestrial visitations hundreds(or perhaps thousands) of years ago. Written by Humberto Amador
Ancient Aliens (History Channel) Season 1
Episode 0: Chariots, God & Beyound
The pilot presents the views of author Erich von Däniken who theorized that advanced beings from another world visited primitive humans, gave them the knowledge of the solar system, concepts of engineering and mathematics, and became the basis for their religions and cultures as evidenced by ancient monuments such as the Nazca Lines, the Pyramids of Giza and the Moai statues of Easter Island.
Episode 1: The Evidence
If ancient aliens visited Earth, what was their legacy, and did they leave behind clues that exist in plain sight such as sophisticated aircraft, complex electrical grids, and intricate construction machinery? Indian Sanskrit texts, dating back to 6000 B.C., describe in varying but vivid detail flying machines called Vimanas. Megalithic stone structures in Egypt reveal evidence of precision saw work. Interpretations of the Jewish Zohar writings offer depictions of a life-sustaining manna machine, eerily similar to chlorella algae processing systems today. Are these examples of modern technology, or is there evidence that these incredible mechanisms existed on Earth thousands of years ago?
Episode 2: The Visitors
If ancient aliens visited Earth, who were they, and where did they come from? Possible historic evidence and beliefs are examined around the world. The Dogon people possess knowledge of a galaxy they claim was given to them by a star god named Amma. The Hopi and Zuni people celebrate Kachinas, gods from the sky, whose headdresses and costumes appear to resemble modern helmets and protective clothing. Halfway around the world, Chinese legends tell of the Han leader, Huangdi, arriving on Earth on a flying, yellow dragon. Was this dragon more likely a spacecraft? Ancient astronaut theorists believe that these are far from chance encounters and that extraterrestrials not only interacted with us, but changed the course of human history.
Episode 3:The Mission
If If ancient aliens visited Earth, what was their mission, and is there evidence that points to when they will return? Ancient Sumerian tablets describe an alien race, known as the Anunnaki, who came to Earth to mine for gold. Egyptian hieroglyphs depict hybrid creatures that were part man, part animal. Mysterious crop circles and unexplainable crystal skulls are thought to contain messages that man has yet to decipher. Strange evidence may exist in multiple cultures throughout history suggesting that aliens came here to explore, excavate raw materials, experiment on human beings, and even for pure conquest.
Episode 4: Close Encounters
This episode suggests that alien encounters have been documented in various historical texts, citing as evidence, the 13th century book Otia Imperialia which describes an incident in Bristol, England ascribed to UFOs; the log entries of Christopher Columbus that report lights in the sky; stories of cigar-shaped craft allegedly seen over Europe during the Black Plague; and Medieval art that supposedly depicts disc-shaped objects floating in the heavens.
Episode 5: The Return
This episode proposes that aliens have contacted man as recently as the 20th century, citing examples such as the Battle of Los Angeles and the Roswell UFO Incident. It also looks at the modern SETI project and speculates what would happen if aliens answered back; what protocols exist to determine who would speak on behalf of mankind, and how we would communicate.
