ParticipantChina has been the source of many significant inventions; Imperialism included or am I wrong ?

ParticipantI remember that day as well. Although I didn't witness it live, I couldn't help thinking about Ms McAuliffe, the first teacher in space, and all the schoolchildren who were viewing the launch live.

ParticipantWell, I think you got it : this the castle of Ghent, Flanders (in “soon” ex-Belgium)The Gravensteen is a castle in Ghent originating from the Middle Ages. The name means "castle of the count" in Dutch 😛

ParticipantWhat would Aristotle say to all this if he were alive today?
?Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain?

ParticipantI will say it is some castle in Belgium (or surrounding areas).
Well, it's in Europe for sure. As Emperor, checking my IP address is smart but useless about this castle 😉

ParticipantWhere ?

ParticipantThat is a surprise? I would do the same if I were them, it only makes sense. It is much easier to reverse engineer something than to develop it in the first place. Come to think of it, the Russians did the same during the Cold War and for all we know they are still doing it. The article mentions that many countries besides china were trying to buy pieces of the downed F-117 including Russia.
So they are scr'wed but they just don't know yet ;D

ParticipantI would just dismiss kooks like this guy. He's just trying to sell a book and carve a nitch out for himself in the field for short term gain. He's screwing himself royally though as a long term scholar of note. He's just a blip on the radar screen, here today and gone tomorrow.
Thats an interesting observation. People who want to be taken seriously wouldnt sell out tomorrow for today for 'fifteen minutes' of fame.
I think he merely got 1 minute of fame ...

ParticipantNot my honeymoon, just a day trip and the photo is blurry because the day was cloudy and flash is not allowed inside the Cathedral. I just have a regular digital camera and not some high-speed DSLR camera. Unlucky ... 😀

ParticipantWhat do you guys think of their stealth fighter jet?
From accounts it is roughly 2 generations behind current US Technology and cannot evade the Aegis systems on the Vincennes class guided missile cruisers. It looks very similar to the American F-22 or JSF.
It seems that the Chinese J-20 stealth fighter 'copied parts from a US jet shot down during the Kosovo war' Thank you uncle Sam ;Dhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12266973

ParticipantSo was this all a practical joke that they made to boost morale?
I don't know. Do you ?

ParticipantIt's Notre-Dame of Avioth (built between 1250 and 1400), a commune in the Meuse department in Lorraine, north-eastern France (103 inhabitants). Perhaps under the influence of the Cistercians of the Abbey of Orval nearby, pilgrims coming to venerate the statue of the Virgin became so great in number that the modest shrine of Avioth quickly proved to be too small. A new church was built during the second half of the thirteenth-century. Our Lady of Avioth aka Shrine of Temporary Respite : according to popular belief in some provinces, temporary respite is when a stillborn child returns to life for the lapse of time needed in order to confer baptism before final death. Thus, having been baptized, the child may enter paradise instead of wandering in limbo where he would be deprived of the vision of God. In 1993, Pope John Paul II acknowledged the importance of the pilgrimage by giving the church the title of basilica. So long guys 😉
I've found this very amazing !!Imagine a cathedral in the middle of ... nowhere : fields, a village, 103 inhabitants only !! I think this place is showing how medieval towns were at the time, a kind of time capsule (TMO)I wish one day I can visit that place, far away from crowded and polluted touristic places!Thanks a lot 😉

ParticipantYour photo is a bit blurry …A kind of febrility during your honeymoon ? 😉
