I'm not sure how I ended up on this channel, but I've been watching all his videos - if you ever wanted to live on a farm and build a huge pond and fill it with aggressive bass, I would check out BamaBass on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BamaBass

New comment by elleferrer in "The Dutch Village Where Everyone Has Dementia"

elleferrer — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:20:53 +0000

Here's some photos of the village: http://www.allgenerationscare.com/amazing-village-designed-j... it's in the small town of Weesp, in Holland. It's a really neat, self-contained world with restaurants, cafes, supermarket and more. Doors are kept unlocked and residents have the freedom to go out within the village whenever they please. Though it does look like an expensive facility, I'm sure there are ways to make it more affordable in other areas of the world to accommodate more of our aging population that suffers from dementia.

I had this issue when using Google Earth to revisit my trips to the Philippines - some of the locations were blurred on Google Earth. I found an alternative using http://www.flashearth.com/ that uses NASA Aqua, NASA Terra, Bing Maps, HERE Maps, Earth at Night, ArcGIS, and MapQuest.

New comment by elleferrer in "Using Google Earth to Find an ISIS Training Camp"

elleferrer — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 10:51:31 +0000

This is what I was thinking, but then I got downvoted to hell. Understandable, there are innocent civilians and children around - most brainwashed by ISIS. But, it looks like these training camps seem to stay close to the river - as seen in the Vice documentary, "The Islamic State" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzCAPJDAnQA#t=160

My apologies everyone - it was a facetious and tasteless remark, and my poor attempt at being funny, while being sarcastic at the same time.

We need more bellingcats' - this was a great find - can we expect a planned airstrike in this location any time soon?
