This is recorded in Guinness World Records as the world's longest continuously running laboratory experiment: 73 years. The experiment was started in 1927 by Professor Thomas Parnell of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. It ended on 28 November 2000.
In October 2005, John Mainstone and the late Thomas Parnell were awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in Physics, a parody of the Nobel Prize, for the pitch drop experiment.
Many archaeological discoveries have remained unexplained. Often due to when they were made. Could ancient civilizations have been more advanced than we are?
Who build the Pyramids? This question to this day is still unanswered.
How about the Sphinx? Another enigma.
How can huge stones be so perfectly fitted in the vestiges of Peru? We still can't achieve such wonders with today's technology.
Of course, conspiracies run amok. "Ancient Alien's !" Every one has heard of the series on the History Channel. But, is it science, to make such assumptions? And based on what? Technologies unknown to us? Could it be that Ancient Civilizations built all those unexplained artifacts and structures? They call it Atlantis !

Enoch writes:
About The fall of angels. And they took wives unto themselves...the women became pregnant and gave birth to great giants whose heights were three hundred cubits...
8:1 And Azaz'el taught the people the art of making swords and knives, and shields, and breastplates; and he showed to their chosen ones bracelets, decorations, shadowing of the eye with antimony, ornamentation, the beautifying of the eyelids, all kinds of precious stones, and all coloring tinctures and alchemy. 8:2 And there were many wicked ones and they committed adultery and erred, and all their conduct became corrupt. 8:3 Amasras taught incantation and the cutting of roots; and Armaros the resolving of incantations; and Baraqiyal astrology, and Kokarer'el the knowledge of the signs, and Tam'el taught the seeing of the stars, and Asder'el taught the course of the moon as well as the deception of man.
Men of science could work for Centuries
Imagine, a man of science able to pursue his research for 400 years before dying. He could dream it. He could theorize it. He could design it. He could implement it and test it. He could monitor it's use and improve on it...........
Wow who could have thought of that?
The skeptics and those who can't stand the existence of any creator, will without a doubt discount such a possibility. Yeah, Ancient Aliens make more sense then a historical record 4000 years old.
o- 12.4-12.8V for a conventional battery (the clear type with liquid);
o12.6-12.8V for the newer MF batteries;
o12.8-13.2V for even newer Gel or AGM batteries. A defective battery cannot be recharged.
oLoad test it if necessary. To load test it you can use your motorcycle's starter by disabling the ignition and cranking it for 15 seconds. In the end, that battery should still be at least 10.5 volts.
2.Check the charging or rectified voltage: 13-15V for 12-volt systems. Rev the engine to mid range a few times & record the highest value.
oIf the charging voltage is too high, this will damage any battery.
§The possible causes are:
1.The regulator
2.The voltage sensing lead.
oIf the charging voltage is too low, proceed to step 3.
3.Check the stator output. Most street motorcycles use a 3 phase charging system. Most with a magnetized rotor (PMS), some with an electromagnetic rotor (EMS).
oFor the first kind, unplug the stator coupler & connect your voltmeter in VAC @ each set of stator windings running the bike @ idle. You should get about 15VAC (3 times).
oFor the Electromagnet System type, keep the coupler connected & do the same thing. You should get at least 9VAC.
4.If this test is inconclusive, check the resistance of your stator (.2-2.5 Ohms). And (very important) verify no connection to ground when unplugged.
oFor the EMS kind you'll also need to check the resistance of the field coil (2-10 Ohms) and also make sure it doesn't have a connection to ground (when unplugged). That field coil will need to have battery power to it (when turning the key on) for the electromagnet to function. It will also need a good regulation (usually on the negative side) before the ground. The regulator can be checked, by simply bypassing it. When doing so, the charging voltage will rise (careful, it may rise too much) if defective.
5.If the stator output is OK:
oCheck the rectifier
oCheck the pos connection of the rectifier to the battery positive.
oCheck the neg connection of the rectifier to the battery negative.
6.If all of these are OK:
oSee if the idle is not too low.
oCheck that there are no components that stay powered with the key off.
oVerify that there are not too many optional electrical devices.
oLast but not least, is the bike being ridden long enough after each engine start?
7.On a Permanent Magnet System, the regulator cannot be checked so replacing it is the last solution.
Other thing I wanted to share with the public. Between 2004 and 2011, I was an instructor in a motorcycle School. After 2011, I wrote a complete electrical course in a Blog format. The site was shut down in 2015. Some of the material is available in a screen shot format here: Motorcycle Electricity
The fall of angels (3500 BC.)
6:1 In those days, when the children of man had multiplied, it happened that there were born unto them handsome and beautiful daughters.
6:2 And the angels, the children of heaven, saw them and desired them; and they said to one another, “Come, let us choose wives for ourselves from among the daughters of man and beget us children.”
6:3 And Semyaz, being their leader, said unto them, “I fear that perhaps you will not consent that this deed should be done, and I alone will become responsible for this great sin.”
6:4 But they all responded to him, “Let us all swear an oath and bind everyone among us by a curse not to abandon this suggestion but to do the deed.” Then they all swore together and bound one another by the curse.
6:5 And they were altogether two hundred; and they descended into 'Ardos, which is the summit of Hermon.
6:6 And they called the mount Armon, for they swore and bound one another by a curse.
6:7 And their names are as follows: Semyaz, the leader of Arakeb, Rame'el, Tam'el, Ram'el, Dan'el, Ezeqel, Baraqyal, As'el, Armaros, Batar'el, Anan'el, Zaqe'el, Sasomaspwe'el, Kestar'el, Tur’el, Yamayol, and Arazyal.
6:8 These are their chiefs of tens and of all the others with them.
7:1 And they took wives unto themselves, and everyone respectively chose one woman for himself, and they began to go unto them. And they taught them magical medicine, incantations, the cutting of roots, and taught them about plants.
7:2 And the women became pregnant and gave birth to great giants whose heights were three hundred cubits.
7:3 These giants consumed the produce of all the people until the people detested feeding them.
7:4 So the giants turned against the people in order to eat them.
Genesis 6
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (2348 BC.)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
18 But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Noah, is wife, and his three sons were of pure human DNA. What about the wives of his sons? History will show that except for Shem's descendants, corrupt DNA did reappear on Earth.
In the lineage of Ham and his wife, we have the infamous Nimrod.
The lineage of Japheth, gave us Greek Mythology.
Numbers 15 (1500 BC.)
17 And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
32 And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Samuel 17 (1140 BC.)
4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
5 And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
6 And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
7 And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
The Mound Builders
1756 under Washington, they discovered bones of a man 7' tall, while digging to construct a fort.
Abraham Lincoln 1848, speech at Niagara Falls:
"...then as now, Niagara was roaring here. The eyes of that species of extinct giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now."
"People in Lincoln's day were well aware that giants had roamed the Americas and likely had seen or known someone who had seen the actual skeletal remains of these creatures."
_ Steve Quayle
Native American legends speak of terrifying cruel red hair giants (man eaters).
"Farmer often leveled their lands and discovered not just giants, but strange creatures with six fingers and toes, large skulls, double rows of teeth, some dressed in copper armors, advanced weapons, mysterious hieroglyphs."
_ Tim Alberino
1881, Congress gave $5000 to the Smithsonian Institution to conduct archaeological digs on the mounds, in order to determine their origins once and for all, and to recover the artifacts within them. Cyrus Thomas led the expedition excavated over 2000 mounds in just 9 years. Everything was quickly hidden away from the public.
Some of the most known news articles:
Early 1800's, large bones in stone graves average stature were over 7' tall. Williamson and White counties Tennessee.
1833 Soldiers digging at Lompock Rancho, California, discovered a 12' tall skeleton. Had double row of upper and lower teeth.
1835 Illinois, huge skeleton over 8', among others of 7'.
1872 Ohio, in mound, discovery of 3 skeletons of at least 8' tall. Double rows of teeth.
Here's some ground rules for this Memorial Day Weekend:
1. Don't wish me a Happy Memorial day - there isn't anything happy about brave men and women dying.
2. It is not a holiday or a sale, it's a day of remembrance.
3. Visit a National Cemetery or a VA Hospital.
4. Say a prayer, and thank God for the service members that are no longer here.
PS: Do NOT "Thank" a living Veteran for his/her service... we'll get honored on Veterans Day in November !!
This is time to remember that the true price of freedom is spent in the lives that defend it. Honor our brothers and sisters that have given the last full measure to secure our freedom.

Chronological view of Ancient Civilizations and the greatest Empires of the World.
In this lesson, KrisAnne Hall is giving us a life lesson. A lesson for the betterment of humanity based on the intentions of the founders of our Republic, the USA as it was intended.
"Hey America, WE have NO understanding of Liberty."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.”
― Samuel Adams
"Our Rights DO NOT come from a written document. WE have rights because of the nature of our creation, under Natural Law. Our Rights come from our Creator. Government did NOT create us."
"If you believe that our Rights exist because of a piece of paper, and that government hands out those rights, then you surely believe that government can also take them away."
By Natural Law, John Locke explains that we do not have control of another's life, because we did not create it. We did not create our selves, no human has ever created another or himself, nor did anyone create rights. As a matter of fact the only power we have over another's life is the power that exists in the preservation of our own life.
Morality
It now begs to recall what was said and answer this simple following question.
What is the purpose of Government?
The answer lies within the Declaration of Independence, and only (4) four words suffice to express it.
Secure our unalienable Rights.
Liberty is a new concept, it is merely 2 centuries old. Keep it for the sake of your children.
A must hear from KrissAnne
Updated 6/10/17
KrissAnne takes a look at specific current cases:
Dallas City council woman Sandy Grayson stealing land at 13 minutes
No American can claim to be free. No American can claim true ownership of their house. When you live under the risk of loosing your house for not paying "property tax" you are not Sovereign, you became a 'Tax Payer', a nice modern name for Serf who pay tax to a Feudal King. A lot is wrong, but very few know how far and spread is the fraud perpetrated on our true Constitutional Rights. All levels of government: from City Halls to Congress are corrupt. Our. Court system uses a law that is not ours, mocks justice and serves only those who can afford long disputes. Matter of fact, most judges will tell you outright: "We are not here to render justice, but to apply the LAW".
Globalism, is making it's utmost efforts to gain World Domination.
Example of Two Opposites
Two fundamental behaviors are best characterized by two countries of opposite views:
Democratic Socialist France
The Republic of the USA
The reason I choose these two countries as an example, is that I know both very well since I lived in both for over 15 years. I was born and raised in France as a French citizen. In my early adulthood life, I decided for my new country of adoption, the US of A, a country that was the pearl and the example of Liberty in the whole World. In 1983, with a few years of Socialist government under my belt, I fled, to find purpose in my life. And I succeeded. Notice that I say WAS in regard to the USA. It goes without any doubt, to realize today's USA is 50% Socialist mentality. In the example of the US Presidential election, had Bernie Sanders not been robbed of his Democratic nomination, HE would be today's American President. In that sense, the Globalists made a huge mistake.
France
France is a country where the people's behavior and mind are mostly (except for a minority), Socialists at heart, Globalists in their endeavors and actions.
France still treats the once colonies as still their brother territories. Most of those countries are on the continent of Africa. The French elite still behave as if those countries owe them their survival. They still adore spending their lengthy vacations there. On average, French have a month and a half vacation per year.
And, for that same reason, their children rebel against this colonist behavior and want to embrace all of the cultures of those countries. Their brothers from the ancient colonies are welcomed with a wide open door to partake all of the social advantages that Socialist France offers. They behave this way to right the wrong of their parents, with a sense of guilt. They are willing to go as far as to make France and all those countries indistinguishable from one another. They praise multiracial marriages, the mixing of the families of their World, and wish to extend it Globally.
What did the colonists do wrong? I'll give you an simple example:
A mother cuts the steak of her 5 year old toddler. That same mother still cuts the steak of her 10 year old. The child is now a teenager of 15, she still cuts the steak of her beloved child. The same child is 18 and goes on a date in a restaurant, who will cut his steak for him?
In the same fashion take a look at the group 'Médecins Sans Frontières', they have been helping for decades, and what do they have to show for? NO, no African Medical Organization, they still need the do it for us groups.
Any younger French will tell you that a minimal form of government is unthinkable! And will tell you that government should be involved in any phase of a person's life.
The recent election of Globalist Macron is the embodiment of their aspirations. Macron, a 'Yes Man' of the Global Elite, shows by his first actions that he does not work for France, but for Europe. Maintaining Europe and strengthening it is a MUST for this Globalist agenda. No, Macron did NOT meet with the 'ASSEMBLÉE NATIONALE', as his first step in government. He did however do as Le Pen said he would, He met his European Queen: Angela Merkel. Merkel is the stick of the EU. They already spoke of the expansion of the commonality of legislation and Taxation, and promised to make it an EU thing. Now, for those who did not know, the EU central government is NOT elected but an appointed group of bureaucrats. Who appoints them? Your guess is as good as mine.
If you still have a doubt of the Globalist inclinations of the French, just take a look at all the World organizations from that country, or NGO's: Médecins Sans Frontières; Médecins du Monde; UNICEF; Amnesty International; so many of those originated in France.
The Republic for which it 'stood', was created as a limited form of government by the consent of the governed with very specific limitations as stated in the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
That Republic had very defined forms of checks and balances, with the creation of three (3) separate branches of government: The Executive branch; The Judicial branch; and the Legislative branch. Each of those branches had very defined powers. And NO, there was no definitions for ATF; DHS; NSA; CIA; Department of Education; Department of Health; etc....
Even though on this day much of the Constitution has NOT been respected, it has still NOT been overturned. At any time if the people of the Republic demand a return to law and order, it still can return to it's original configuration legally: Liberty; the Pursuit of Happiness; Justice for All; Right to Privacy; etc....
All the people would have to do is appoint Constitution Supreme Court Judges and have them overturn any and all unconstitutional Laws and departments of the Federal Government.
The sovereign States (as it was designed), would then decide to recreate or not the missing departments according to the will of the people of the respective States.
The over a 100 years erosion of the Laws of the Land did not yet turn the USA into a Europe.
Why would Americans want to become an other Europe or South America is beyond me considering most fled those areas of the World to find Liberty and opportunities.
As the Presidents of the past decades strove for the equalization of our country to the other Nations of the world, WE are however very close to become another Europe or South America. 'A New World Order' they were all chanting in their speeches, and Americans fell for it.
Even though many Americans knew about it for a long time, The Deep State or Shadow Government has only been exposed recently. This Deep State has been dictating policies (in the shadows), to all Presidents, Legislators, and Judges, by means still not understood of the general Public.
The Deep State by controlling the Media has been for decades influencing Public opinion with Lies, and False Flags. False flags have allowed the Military Industrial Complex to go to WAR whenever they found it necessary. WARS are profitable to the huge Military Industrial Complex that encompasses some of the most powerful Corporations in the World, and they are NOT necessarily US based Corporations. Matter of fact, it's a Global thing very hard to distinguish it's hierarchical components. I personally believe the top banking families rule the World.
The media obvious lies triggered the exposure of the Deep State. They either got sloppy, or they are at a point where they feel it does not matter to be exposed, as they are in total control of the US government. The webbing in place will be very hard, if not impossible to remove. In most Agencies, the Federal government employees have already been given their marching orders, and they will stop at nothing to see the realization of the One World Government or the New World Order. The NWO does NOT include the USA as a Republic with Liberty and Justice, but an America compliant to the will of the rest of the World.
Yes, granted America is the power house militarily, but this power house has become the Mercenaries of the Elites of the NWO.
We now know that the CIA was the creator and supplier of Al-Quaeda, and now ISIS. When American soldiers fight ISIS or any terrorist group in the World, they fight the proxy forces of the CIA. And the CIA is controlled by who knows? Certainly not by Congress or the President!
As much can be said of most more national other agencies. NSA, we all know is the World information gatherer for the Elites of the NWO.
Assassinations have been carried out by those agencies for decades. Some say Kennedy was killed by them. I personally believe so too, as the head wound described was indeed inflicted from the front and not the back where Oswald was. And it so happened a little after Kennedy called out the Shadow Government in a National speech.
As I mentioned earlier, the Deep State made a huge mistake by robbing Bernie Sanders of his nomination. The USA would already be a Socialist Nation it they had let it be. Bernie had a lot more support than Killery, and would have been elected regardless of the Electoral College system. This is to say that America is now identifying a lot more to their counterpart Global Socialists of the World.
Now to the current POTUS.
He is facing an immense opposition. On one side the Socialists of America, on the other the treasonous members of the Deep State.
He made many promises, and those promises got him the support of our system of governance of the Electoral College or representation of the entities of each State of the Union. Can he deliver on those promises? The answer is NO, as he doesn't have the support of Congress and the Agencies of the Federal Government. They all go against the WILL of the United sovereign States.
POTUS has what seems an un-surmountable task at hand. He does however know how to make a deal. But there is no deal to be made with the NWO. Therefore he will have to play his cards in a subtle way, as does a Chess Master. He will have to give up some pieces to capture the King. This Chess match is ongoing, and it will be a very long one, as long as the people understand and support him. Some say he was bought and paid for before becoming POTUS. Others say they got him. (I did myself thought so too for a little while, until I realized how tough the opposition is). But then one must only ask himself, why does a 70 year old multimillionaire want to be POTUS? He had everything and more. Could it be that he wants to do his part for his wonderful country of opportunities? He did say recently: 'In America we don't worship government, we worship God'.
America is still one of the Last stand for sovereignty and Liberty, let's keep it that way if you don't want the children of the World to become slaves of the Global Elites.
Climate change supporters, don't tell us what to do, show us what YOU DO, and how.
We're open minded. Lead by example, and show us the way?
Here's a hint for Climate change supporters: Stop using cars; live near your job so you can walk to it; buy recyclable packaging products; reduce the content of your trash cans; stop buying useless things; buy quality and durable items; avoid buying anything in plastic containers; promote your lifestyle so others follow you. And last : Liberty First ! Not any government's place to tell us what we should do or don't.
Thank YOU Mr. President! WE the people of the USA are a Sovereign Nation and do not subscribe to the scams of the Globalists.
Congress no longer represents the Sovereign States of the Union, but their own financial benefit and the stick that represents the Deep State or the Shadow Government. Should the 17th Amendment be repealed, to give back control to the States?
Amendment XVII
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.
When vacancies happen in the representation of any State in the Senate, the executive authority of such State shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancies: Provided, That the legislature of any State may empower the executive thereof to make temporary appointments until the people fill the vacancies by election as the legislature may direct.
This amendment shall not be so construed as to affect the election or term of any Senator chosen before it becomes valid as part of the Constitution.
Forward this to a minimum of 20 people, and to ask that each of those do likewise. In three days, most people in the United States will have the message. This is clearly an amazing idea that must be passed around. Stand by for the push back from THE SWAMP
THE TRUMP RULE: Let's see if congress understands what people pressure is all about.
Currently
Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . . $180,000 FOR LIFE.
Salary of House/Senate members .. . . $174,000 FOR LIFE
This is stupid
Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE.
This is really stupid
Salary of Majority / Minority Leaders . . $193,400 FOR LIFE.
Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .$40,065
Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000
Here's where the cuts should be made!
Congressional Reform Act of 2017
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman / woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present, and future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 3/1/17. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work.
TRUMP, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: "I could end the deficit in five minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election".
The 26th Amendment ( granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds ) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.
Forward this to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
Notify your Representatives and Senators, and DEMAND a reform in 2017 !
