An American Military Veteran in Ecuador: Buyer Beware

An American Military Veteran in Ecuador: Buyer Beware: One of the things I see pretty commonly on many forums for expats is this statement,"It was not what we thought it was." It seem...

Does anyone feel an unusually accelerated perception of time?

whoaaa Dude - where does the time go, I went outside for a breath of fresh air (minus Fukishima radiation fallout) 19:35 EST looked up to the sky and the half moon literally streaked across the sky about 10-15 degrees in the matter of a few seconds!

I think possibly "They" can speed up and manipulate time to some extent - similar to Greenspan & Bernake could throttle up and down the economy! Halloween - Vets Day - Turkey Day - X-mas bam bam bam new yrs 2014

Does anyone feel an unusually accelerated perception of time? Or see any unusual events in the night sky lately?

6 Secrets "They" Don't Want You to Know

Even the dumbest person knows that the world is controlled by certain individuals. Some say they are the richest families, some say secret organizations with members posing as a president’s right hand, some even say aliens in disguise.

The truth is, no matter who, the 99% is controlled by the 1% and there are things that the 1% would be happy if the 99% never find out of. But, be that as it may, the Murphy ’s Law still stands even for those individuals who steer the wheel and as the law says “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong”.

People with humanity still in their hearts leaked some information, people who see things as they really are revealed conspiracies, and some with a little logic still in the head discovered the truth hidden from the 99%. Here are some of the greatest secrets “They” don’t want you to know of: - See more at: http://humansarefree.com/2013/11/6-secrets-they-dont-want-you-to-know.html#sthash.qvE7FohQ.TQDs9cUl.dpuf

The fastest way to send money electronically

We put Square, Google, Paypal, and Popmoney to the test-

Nov. 6, 2013, 7:05 a.m. EST 

Downloading a book, movie or album takes just minutes. But electronically transferring cash to a friend can take the better part of a week. 

In an earlier story, we explained how part of the reason computers move money so slowly is that banks still rely on 1970s technology. But with a growing number of services vying to become the new go-to way to message money, MarketWatch decided to take the tech for a test spin. 

We sent $10 from New York to a colleague, multimedia producer Billy Higgins, in San Francisco five different ways: through PayPal, Popmoney, Google Wallet GOOG -0.08%  , and the recently launched Square Cash. As a control, we also sent $10 by putting a good, old-fashioned check in the mail. All of these transactions were initiated at 3 p.m. eastern on a recent Friday afternoon....http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-fastest-way-to-send-money-electronically-2013-11-05?link=sfmw_sm 

Google, Square thwarted by banks’ 1970s tech

Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.

New services are popping up to make sending someone cash as easy as sending an email. 

There’s just one problem: the technology banks use to move money dates back to the 1970s. So while the Internet makes it possible to transmit 10 books across the country in several seconds, moving 10 bucks can take several days. And demand for instant payment services isn’t nearly strong enough to convince the banking industry to join the 21st century, experts say...http://www.marketwatch.com/story/banks-rely-on-1970s-tech-to-move-money-2013-10-21

Indigenous peoples - Death in the Amazon

Nov 8th 2013, 11:03 by S.K. | QUITO

  MINUTES before its planned release on September 25th a judge in Ecuador blocked the distribution of “A Tragedy Hidden Away”, a book detailing a massacre of 20-odd members of one indigenous Amazonian tribe, the Taromenane, by another, the Waorani. The authors, Miguel Ángel Cabodevilla, a Capuchin missionary, and Milagros Aguirre, a journalist, promptly distributed it via the internet. Faced with a public outcry over the censorship, the judge reversed her decision two days later.

  That was the latest twist in the tragic tale of tribal warfare. An uncontacted, or “hidden”, tribe, the Taromenane are protected under Ecuador’s 2008 constitution. Article 57 protects the hidden peoples from “ethnocide” and blocks their territories from incursion to guarantee their rights and survival. Not, it seems, against the Waorani (who as a “recently contacted” tribe do not enjoy similar protection)...http://www.economist.com/blogs/americasview/2013/11/indigenous-peoples

Drone mapping the pyramids of Zuleta in Ecuador

Article created on Tuesday, October 29, 2013

By Mark Willis

  The Pyramids of Zuleta are one of the hidden treasures of the Andes. Built around 1,000 years ago, by the native Caranqui people, these earthen mounds and platform pyramids dominate the landscape near Hacienda Zuleta in the mountains of northern Ecuador and 110 kilometres north of Quito.

 

  Unlike much of our planet, high resolution aerial imagery and digital elevation models are unavailable for this part of the world. This is due to the fog that often blankets the area and the agrarian nature of the region. As a part of a team of archaeologists who visited the site in August 2013, we aimed to change that.

Pyramids deep within the canyon.

Mark Willis Programming the UAV while in flight.

  
A challenging task Using a small, hand-launched, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV aka drone) equipped with a downward facing camera and a sophisticated autopilot system, we documented the site as it has never been seen—from extremely low altitude and at high resolution.  
  This was a challenging task as most of the pyramids are located in the bottom of a steep constricted canyon inhabited by Andean Condors. To make things more challenging there were high winds, clouds, and quirks of the micro-climates within the canyon to contend with. In spite of that, we were able to fly nine missions and collect hundreds of photographs in just a couple of days...http://www.pasthorizonspr.com/index.php/archives/10/2013/drone-mapping-pyramids-zuleta-ecuador
