Tiahuanaco: its enormous buildings, according to a local tradition, appeared in the course of a single night..?

…and the enormous stones used to build them were "carried through the air to the sound of a trumpet", lifted miraculously off the ground…What’s your take on this and on Viracocha?…

BQ: Has any of you actually been to Tiahuanaco?

it has been suggested that to move those spectacular perfect cut stones some form of vibration was used, vibration can create matter, so why not sound being able to do these tasks account for answers,,,,,,,,
so can i see a technology so advanced enabling one to move & lift gigantic stones into place since no tools are ever found at these sites, save for primitive tools that were surly not used for cutting or lifting and moving such stones,,
was earth visited by ancient Beings with the know how to build these wonderful beautiful structures?
Perhaps,,,,,,,,

Miracle of Islam : Ka’bah, The Center of the Earth, Astonomical proven

The Kaaba is a cube-shaped building in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, and is the most sacred site in Islam. The building predates Islam, and, according to Islamic tradition, the first building at the site was built by Ibrahim. The building has a mosque built around it, the Masjid al-Haram. All Muslims around the world face the Kaaba during prayers, no matter where they are. Neil Armstrong proved Makkah the center of the earth. The centrality of Makkah has been proved scientifically. When the astronauts travelled to outer space and took pictures of the earth they saw that it is dark, hanging sphere. Astonished, Neil Armstrong said: Earth is a dark hanging sphere, who hung it? Armstrong was basically trying to say ALLAH is the one who hung it. They discovered that Earth emits radiations, and they wrote about this on the web. They left the item there for 21 days and then they made it disappear. The disappearance was intent. The suppression of information here is significant. When they discovered this radiation they started to zoom in, they found that it emanates from Makkah, and to be precise, from the Kaaba. They found that this radiation is infinite. When they reached Mars, they began to take pictures, they found that the radiations continues beyond. They said this radiation had a special characteristic. The Muslim scientists believe that this radiation is infinite, and it connects the (earthly) Kaaba with the celestial Kaaba. In the middle of the South Pole and the North Pole

Frustrated with life in America?

Before I start, please understand this isn’t self-hate for my nation, I’m just having trouble being proud of it. I come from a more… Well-off family and I’ve moved around to many parts of America, due to my families line of work I’ve also lived in multiple other countries and travelled the world. When I come back to the US I always feel the same though. Ashamed that over half of the country being overweight, promoting unhealthiness, glorifying the wrong things, etc. I see enormous disrespect towards others and overall ignorance in countless people. I’ve found that I am interested in everything about other countries. For example, after spending 5 months in Japan, learning the language and being swooned with beautiful landscapes, towns, ridiculously courteous and well-mannered people with a rich and deep original culture built on tradition, politeness, and uniformity, (admittedly not always good), along with the well-established healthy lifestyle; I was overwhelmingly interested in spending more time learning about it.

Then I came back to the US and couldn’t bring myself to care about our very young and completely inspired culture. I don’t care that we started jazz, mardi gras, certain foods, etc. It makes me furious that the country was taken from an unsuspecting people, based everything on the prospect of freedom, and then enslaved multiple races to build it for us, and now it has turned into… This. Unlike many other places, we are shamed by our past and our countries foundation, or at least that’s how it seems. I am glad that we are very free, but so are most 1st world countries. I know, I know, "if you don’t like it you can get out" but I don’t want to do that just yet. I want to like our inspired culture. I want to be able to enjoy what we have, but I can’t. I love my friends, and family and plenty of things only in the US, but sometimes it just seems wrong.

Should I take my own advice and just get the hell out? Or should I keep trying even if I practically radiate this stuff. I figure the country doesn’t need or want a doubter like me, even if I’m trying.

In my experience… if you spend all your time focusing on what’s wrong with something, you’ll never learn to appreciate what’s right with it.

Every country has its flaws. Every country has points in it’s history that it’s less than proud of. You’ve seen the world, but keep in mind that you’ve seen it primarily as an outsider (even if you’ve spent 5 months in a country). You’re much more intimately familiar with your home country, and all it’s flaws… but people don’t go out of their way to share those flaws with visiting outsiders. It’s true here, and it’s true abroad.

Incidentally… Japan, too, was built on the back of slavery, in particular during the Shōwa era.

GTAC 2010: Twist, A Next Generation Functional Testing Tool for Building and Evolving Test Suites

Google Test Automation Conference 2010 October 28-29, 2010 Twist, A Next Generation Functional Testing Tool for Building and Evolving Test Suites by Vivek Prahlad, ThoughtWorks Abstract: Over the years, IDEs like IntelliJ and Eclipse have proved to be invaluable while working with large, complex code bases. However, tools that help testers work with large, complex test suites have been few and far between. Twist is an attempt at addressing this imbalance. Twist is a powerful testing IDE that makes it possible to build, evolve and execute functional tests. By allowing tests to be written in a form that is close to the domain of the application under test, it allows domain experts / business analysts to collaborate in building functional tests along with the rest of the development team. Twist allows test suites to be viewed as as a coherent entity, and hence allows them to move beyond just automating individual tests. As the application under test evolves, Twist makes it possible to quickly make changes to the test suite. Apart from facilitating rapid automation, Twist also supports manual testing and automation assisted exploration. Speaker Bio: Vivek Prahlad is a Technical Lead at ThoughtWorks Studios, where he helps build Twist, a next generation Functional Testing tool. He has been with ThoughtWorks for the past 7 years. During his career, Vivek has been a Technical Lead, Agile Coach and Project Manager. Vivek is also the author of Frankenstein, an open source testing

What’s the difference between these word: Custom,Tradition, and culture?

Human being are using them extensivly to mask most of stupidity of other.

yes you got it right: though customs, traditions and other kind of stuff that people made up are part of the so called "culture", which it’s nothing but a combination of things people has stated as theirs; basically to difference one from another.

A Look Inside the Vogt Shop

The Vogt silver shop has been building beautiful, hand-crafted western sterling accessories for over 40 years. Located in Old Mexico, it draws upon the region’s 400 years of silversmithing tradition which began with the arrival of Spanish conquistadores and the development of the Mexican vaquero. Their original methods and knowledge were passed on to early Spanish Californians, the native Americans of the southwest, and the western silversmiths of the 20th century. From these great teachers many North American artisans learned techniques still practiced today, so we like to say that “four centuries of tradition go into every piece we build. Please take a peek into our shop with this video as we invite you to see how each Vogt piece is individually hand made…one-at-a-time, by hand and heart…

Audemars Piguet – Jules Audemars 3 – Equation du Temps

www.victorinoxblog.com Audemars Piguet’s history In 1875, in the Swiss village of Le Brassus, two young men passionately dedicated to fine watchmaking, Jules-Louis Audemars and Edward-Auguste Piguet, decided to unite their skills in order to design and produce watches with complex mechanisms. Their determination, imagination and discipline were soon to earn them noteworthy success. Around 1885, they set up a subsidiary in Geneva and in 1889 established new commercial relations at the Universal Exposition in Paris where they presented some complex pocket-watches. While the Manufacture Audemars Piguet has developed considerably since then, the spirit of high standards, inventiveness and watchmaking passion that drove its founder still persists, daily guiding the company in its choices. Today, Audemars Piguet remains the oldest Manufacture of Haute Horlogerie never to have left the hands of its founding families. More than 700 employees worldwide, including 550 on the three production sites located in Switzerland, and more than 24000 watches produced each year, express its dynamism, its independence and its spirit of genuine creative daring. 1892 World première: Audemars Piguet develops and completes the first minute repeater wristwatch. 1899 A “Grande Complication” pocket-watch emerges from the Audemars Piguet work-shops. It is equipped with grand and small strike and minute repeater chiming on three gongs, with an alarm striking on independent gongs, perpetual calendar
