11 Possible Cases of Time Travel

From a possible newly discovered time traveler, to the infamous time traveling hipster, these are 11 Possible Cases of TIME TRAVEL ! Subscribe to American Eye http://goo.gl/GBphkv 6. The Man from Taured In 1954 a man who could speak French as his first language and Japanese as his 2nd language arrived at Tokyo International Airport. When he handed off his passport to be stamped, it shocked the Japanese officials. The passport looked as if it were real but with one strange twist: it said he was from a country that didn’t exist, called Taured. When the authorities didn’t understand they made him point to a map and he pointed to the small nation of Andorra between France and Spain. He claimed to have never heard of Andorra before and it was even stranger that his passport was covered in Visa stamps which showed he went to Japan and many other countries before with that passport. The officials were really sure what to do and they decided to keep him in a hotel with guards outside his door until they figured out what to do. 5. Wall Street Millionaire We’re sure if you had the ability to go back in time, a lot of you would decide to invest in some companies that are bringing in the dough now or bet on the teams you know who won the superbowl and what not to become rich! That almost seems to be the case with Andrew Carissin, who was eventually detained by police for insider stock trading! Over a two week period Andrew took 800 bucks and turned in into 350 million! No one believed something like that could be possible, unless you had the ability to travel back in time! The cops asked him why and how he did this and his answer was shocking! He claimed that he travelled from the year 2256 and knew how the stocks would perform! In case you just sort of thought that sounded like a sarcastic answer, he correctly predicted the date of the US invasion of Iraq. The then disappeared off the face of the planet. 4. Night of Long Knives This photo here was taken in 1934, at a Nazi rally right before an important incident in history took place. This was the Night of long Knives, where Hitler ordered the killing of 85 political figures and this night would eventually lead to the rise of the Nazi party The man circled in the photo certainly seems a tad out of place. Could he have had something to do with the conspiring to kill the political leaders and put hitler in power? Was he possibly time traveling to possibly put an end to this event? Who knows! 3. Woman on Mobile Phone 1938 A video of a woman putting her hand to her ear never really got too much attention at first, but later on in 2013, people began to realize that maybe she was talking on a phone.. But hold on! This video was taken in 1938 of a group of women walking out a DuPont factory in Massachusetts! You clearly see in this clip that no one is talking to her, and the only person next to her is completely looking the other way! There’s also something in her hand! What could it be!? Some claim it was a listening device, but that wouldn’t generally be used by someone at this age. There were no cell phone towers back then so it’s really hard to say exactly what happened here. Maybe it was some type of recording device and she was making an entry about her experience that day? Seems like people are so hooked on their phone nowadays, they’ll even get caught time travelling because of it! 2. Charlie Chaplin’s Film Another well known sign of possible time travel, during the filming of the film called the Circus 1928, an unknown woman looks like she’s talking on the phone! As she’s walking by the striped horse or zebra mannequin, in a long black coat. It just seems to be someone you’d see every day walking down the street and talking on the phone but there’s only one catch! The first cell phone was much bigger and not invented until the 1980! The identity is difficult to determine but as you take a closer it does seem to take some rectangular shape to it. What were these devices used for if it wasn’t a phone! What does this woman know about time travel? Only she knows the true answer 1.Time Travelling Mummy A mummy was discovered high up in the Altai mountains of Mongolia that’s raised many questions about whether time travel is possible or not. A large amount of items were found including iron kettle, remains of a horse, travel bag, a saddle and most importantly her shoes! The carbon dating found the skeleton was left in the grave for 2000 years but the shoes seem rather modern! When people saw the shoes on twitter and learned about the discovery, many came together and claimed that they looked like these pair of adidas. They also claimed that no ancient shoe could have the same markings as a modern day adidas and said it must be a time traveler. Whether it was a joke or not, was unclear but the archaeologists wouldn’t respond to questions about the shoes and simply stated that there was some advanced craftsmanship that was discovered.

17 Google Map Images You Won’t Believe Exist

From a heart shaped island to a giant bunny these are some of the weirdest google map images you won’t believe actually exist! 10 – You’re not safe anywhere! So besides the vehicles that capture the images for Google Maps, there are also trikes, trolleys, snowmobiles, SUV’s and satellites that capture the images throughout the year. So you are really not safe anywhere! So when this poor woman needed to go – she really needed to go. What she didn’t need, was Google taking a picture of her doing her business. Granted she did have a whiz on the side of the road in broad daylight – but I doubt she ever imagined that she would be seeing this image online! 9 – How’s this for a “space” ship… This is the SS Jassim, and it’s one of the largest ship wrecks visible from Google Earth. It’s no surprise really, as the ferry is 80.54 metres long and 13 metres wide. Just a little bit of FYI, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric administration, there are roughly 1 million shipwrecks at this exact point in time. It was in 2003 that the SS Jassim sank just off the coast of Sudan. 8 – What do they teach our kids? Imagine asking someone what school they go to, and they reply – Oh, the school with the giant penis. I’m sure you will be a bit surprised, but it’s the truth. The Clancy Catholic School has been vandalized with the etchings of 3 giant penises. The school has been struggling to get the image removed from Google Maps, and have had no luck so far. 7 – No joke… Google Maps has really uncovered many things that some people would rather forget. This image has brought out buried memories for Jose Barrera, who believes that the image he is seeing, is the body of his deceased 14-year-old son, who was killed in 2009. 6 – Speculate away… because there are loads of “unexplained” images just like this doing the rounds on Google Maps. Sad to say though, there is no alien involvement and all of them have a pretty logical explanation. Desert Breath began in 1995, and is still visible after all this time. It’s over a million square feet, and found in the eastern Sahara Desert, bordering the Red Sea. The team displaced 8000 cubic metres of sand to create these incredible shapes. 5 – We found him… That’s Wally of course, and this was a project by Melanie Coles. For her final year art project, she created a massive Where’s Wally and popped it on the roof of a building in Vancouver. She challenged people to play using Google Earth, and offered a real life version of the very popular game. She did of course get an A for her efforts. 4 – Sheer beauty This is the Grand Prismatic Spring,in the Yellowstone National Park, and Google Maps has captured its beauty brilliantly. 3 – Say cheese There are many Google Map images of faces. There’s an Oprah Winfrey Maze, Pumkins sketched into fields, Suns appearing in crops, the smiling face of the Versailles Gardens, we’ve seen “lips” and bare bottoms appearing out of hay bales and trees… but this image is just so unique. It’s of a native American Indian peering out from the hills of Alberta, in Canada. A mix between old and new, as it appears like she is wearing headphones. 2 – Hop to it… If you were to go for a hike in Northern Italy’s mountainside sometime between now and 2025, don’t be surprised when you come across this gigantic bunny. It’s 55 meters long, and was meant to make its audience feel tiny, like I Gulliver’s travels. It’s made from straw and fabric, and will decompose naturally. The say by 2025 it will be gone. 1 – Just for the love of it… And our last image – just because we love what we do… here is a heart shaped island, just for you. Made famous by Google Maps, this 130 000-foot islet is now a lover’s hot spot. Apparently no one lives on the island, so the owner said it would be the perfect place for a romantic getaway. So book your next romantic getaway now… just be careful that Google Maps doesn’t snap you in the act!

World’s 10 Most Generous Countries

The top ten countries on the World Giving Index, determined by a worldwide poll of three factors: helping a stranger, donating money, and volunteering. A study by the Charities Aid Foundation: http://bit.ly/2dFnEN7 Subscribe to TDC: https://www.youtube.com/TheDailyConversation/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thedailyconversation Charity navigator https://www.charitynavigator.org/ Video by Bryce Plank Visualization by Robin West Music: “Undeniable” by Vibe Tracks (YouTube audio library) Script: The world is becoming more generous. That’s the good news coming out of the most recent world giving index, an annual study by the Charities Aid Foundation that provides insight into the scope and nature of giving around the world. The research firm Gallup asked people from 140 countries around the world whether they had done these charitable activities in the past month: helping a stranger; donating money to a charity; and volunteering time to an organization. Each country is given a percentage score and ranked. These are the top 10 most generous countries. Number 10 is the United Arab Emirates. It jumped up from fourteenth to tenth thanks to its people’s willingness to help strangers. Its fifth place ranking in that category is the highest of any country in the overall top 10, and buoys its overall score after the UAE had the least amount of people on this list spend time volunteering. Next is Ireland, it’s score is down three percentage points and is hurt by the second-worst helping strangers score on the top 10. This decline comes as Ireland’s economy is the fastest growing in Europe for the fourth straight year. Eighth is the United Kingdom. It’s people rank as the seventh most generous at giving their money away, down four percent from its five-year average. However, its volunteering time is up three points. It will be interesting to see if behaviors in the UK change as the Brexit situation develops. Taking the seventh spot is Indonesia. It scores in the top three in both donating money to charity and time spent volunteering. Overall, it leaped up fifteen spots in the rankings. This could have something to do with the survey coinciding with the holy month of Ramadan. The Canadians come in sixth. Solid across the board, Canada doesn’t crack the top ten in any single category–the only country on the list where that’s the case. It’s best ranking is in donating money, although slightly fewer Canadians did than last year. Sri Lanka is fifth. Its ranking jumped up four places from its five-year average. It’s helping a stranger and donating money scores are both now in the 60’s, and its volunteering score is the fourth best in the world. Fourth is New Zealand. It is top 10 in donating money and volunteering. Oceana, comprised solely of Australia and New Zealand, is a conflict free part of the world which allows its more economically well off people to be more generous with their time and money. Which brings us to Australia, ranked third on this list. Its overall score is two points higher than its five-year average, helping it rise to the third spot. Like its regional neighbor New Zealand, its highest score is in donating money. The United States is ranked second. Its average rank of nine across the three categories in the survey is best in the world, and its 61% overall score is the same as its five-year average. And the number one ranked country on the world giving index – for the third year in a row – is Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Its overall score is largely driven by its 91% donating money score. Its heavily Buddhist population donates regularly to support the country’s monks. Worldwide, people are more altruistic across all three of the categories in the study. Separating countries by level of development provides even more insight into the data. We see people in developed places are slightly less likely to help a stranger. Iraq and Libya are the countries most likely to help a stranger. The greater need amongst the population in these war torn places is encouraging more people to be responsive out of sheer necessity. Men are more likely to help a stranger than women, and those over 50 years old are the least likely age group to do so. On the flip side, the oldest among us are the most likely to donate money to charity. The people of Turkmenistan are the most likely to donate their time, thanks to the widespread practice in that country of people spending their Saturdays volunteering. Again, men are more likely to volunteer than women, and those over 50 are the least likely age group to volunteer their time. And lastly, these are the continent-wide scores in each category compared to each other, and their five-year averages. Thanks for watching.

China’s New “Silk Road”: Future MEGAPROJECTS

China’s $1 trillion One Belt One Road (New Silk Road) initiative is unprecedented in size and scope. President Xi Jinping has sealed megaproject deals with 65 countries to construct ports, power stations, rail lines, roads, and all the tunnels and bridges needed to connect them back to mainland China.

Script: Having recently completed both the world’s most extensive system of expressways and the planet’s longest high speed rail network, China is now looking beyond its borders for opportunities to keep building. President Xi Jinping announced at a recent summit that Beijing has sealed megaproject deals with 65 countries throughout Eurasia and Africa to construct ports, power stations, rail lines, roads, and all the tunnels and bridges needed to connect them back to mainland China. At a total cost of over $1 trillion, the One Belt, One Road initiative is unprecedented in size and scope. So is the bold funding mechanism: China will use its large, state-run banks to provide most of the financing, a risky move, when you consider how few of the nations in the O.B.O.R. could afford something like this on their own. “Oh,” say the leaders of economically-challenged, underdeveloped Laos, Yemen, or Ethiopia — or the blood-soaked regime of Bashar al-Assad in war-ravaged Syria — “you want to loan us billions of dollars to build some cool stuff in our countries? Of course, why not!?” China is hard-selling the project as a way to boost its westward connections, an update of the silk road trade route that played a significant role in developing China and the rest of the region 1,000 years ago. But many analysts see this comparison as little more than a marketing pitch. Al Jazeera clip: “Is the real point of this, East-West service then simply to boost China’s westward connections? [Pauline Loong] “Well I wouldn’t say simply to boost China’s westward connections, but I totally agree with Charles that it’s more a PR stunt. To call it the “Silk Road,” that’s really brilliant—evocative of romantic camel travels in the past. When, you know, you have these lovely silks and trade and so forth. And it’s good, because look at all the headlines it has been getting, but in practical terms, it’s early days yet.” [Bryce] Aside from the lessons China learned from its own recent infrastructure boom, Beijing is also drawing inspiration from the American Marshall Plan which financed the rebuilding of Western Europe after it was decimated during the second world war. That program was worth the equivalent of $130 billion in today’s dollars and ensured the US had reliable export markets for the manufactured goods and machinery its growing economy had become dependent on producing. China’s modern version — first announced in 2013 — is the signature initiative of President Xi Jinping. Several projects have already been completed. Earlier this year London became the 15th European city connected directly to China through an ever-expanding global rail system, meaning freight trains loaded with goods can now arrive after a 12,000km journey all the way from the east coast of the landmass. And, at a cost of $4 billion, China also just completed Africa’s first transnational electric railway, which runs 466 miles from Djibouti to Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Chinese companies designed the system, built the line, and supplied the train cars…
