  • 'Zombie-proof' log cabin includes escape hatch, 360-degree vantage point and weapons cabinet<br />
<br />
It's the dilemma that haunts every British homeowner: how safe are my children from a zombie apocalypse?<br />
<br />
A Leeds merchant has finally answered public concerns by making a undead-proof shed - which will set you back a mere £69,995, plus £20,780 for installation, CCTV, riot gear and solar panels.<br />
<br />
The so-called Zombie Fortification Cabin also has an escape hatch, an interior garden, weapons storage and a 360-degree vantage point, all with a ten-year anti-zombie guarantee. A flamethrower or water cannon, however, will cost you extra.<br />
<br />
Designed just in time for Halloween, the shed - ZFC1 for short - has not yet had any buyers, but that hasn't stopped it attracting a wide range of reviews on its manufacturer's website.<br />
<br />
One, Shaun of the Dead, called it the 'Winchester of Log Cabins' adding: 'In my time I’ve had little respect as an electronics shop employee, with no real direction in life. But when I bought this Zombie proof log cabin I became the envy of all my neighbours!<br />
<br />
'It’s big enough for me as well as my girlfriend and rather vulgar unemployed best friend (who could quite easily be mistaken for a zombie!). With this, any potential zombie apocalypse which could overwhelm the town, I'll have a nice cup of tea and wait for it all to blow over.'<br />
<br />
Not everyone was happy, however. A disgruntled Roger Rotter the Zombie wrote: 'I officially HATE this zombie proof log cabin!!<br />
<br />
'Having roamed our way through the land mines, in just about one piece, a cluster of us avoided the flamethrowers and made it to the walls. No matter what we tried (eating through the walls, climbing to the roof etc) we just couldn't break in.<br />
<br />
'Unfortunately, as time wore on it became obvious this was a lost cause and some 28 days later we gave up.' <br />

  • To catch an iThief: Woman whose iPhone is stolen on Disney cruise outs 'snatcher' after it automatically posts pictures he took to HER account<br />
<br />
A woman whose iPhone went missing on a Disney Cruise was able to catch the alleged thief after photos he took with her phone began popping up in her ‘cloud’ – the feature that stores and syncs all personal documents.<br />
Katy McCaffrey, who went on the cruise last month, began noticing that photos started to pop up in her iCloud account.<br />
Included in those photos were pictures of her alleged iPhone thief on the cruise ship, viewing the sunset, going to parties, and drinking with other crew members.<br />
In an effort to reclaim her phone, Ms McCaffrey created an album on Facebook entitled ‘Stolen iPhone Adventures.’ <br />
It shows 20 pictures of a man she calls ‘Nelson’ taking advantage of her phone aboard the Disney Wonder, nymag.com’s Daily Intel blog originally reported.<br />
The disgruntled cruise-goer was able to see the pictures because of an Apple feature called Photostream, which automatically uploads all photos taken with the iPhone to their iCloud account.<br />
Nelson, it seems, was too busy having a good time to check whether or not Photostream was activated.<br />
The feature can be turned off with a simple on/off switch in the phone’s settings.<br />
<br />
Photos Nelson took document Nelson’s adventures on the cruise ship. In the first picture, he’s posing on the deck in front of a beautiful ocean sunset.<br />
Ms McCaffrey writes: ‘This is Nelson. Nelson has stolen my iPhone.’<br />
She was able to identify him by a clearly placed name tag below the left lapel of his shirt as he was pictured with character actors.<br />
In later pictures, Nelson takes snapshots of his pregnant girlfriend, assumedly another Disney Cruise employee. <br />
Many of them show Nelson out drinking with friends (‘gosh they look a cool group of folks’) and the boat’s captain at a gathering with drinks and cake (‘sure looks like they had a swell time.’)<br />

  • RARE PHOTOGRAPHS - AIRCRAFT SALVAGE DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN AND THE BLITZ,<br />
<br />
Clearing away the debris and detritus of modern mechanised warfare is some- thing that warring nations have had to deal with since the end of the First World War, and the inevitable result of twentieth century warfare was the<br />
large-scale littering of land and sea with the wreckages that combat left behind. The massive and widespread land battles across Europe during the first and second world wars left their own particular trails of destruction and debris that had to be cleared away before normal life could once again resume in the post war periods, and those clear-up operations presented their own challenges, dangers and difficulties. In the British Isles during the Second World War, and for the first time in modern history, the country was faced with widespread destruction caused by bombing, and disrup- tion and damage to infrastructure caused by almost six years of conflict – some of that damage resulting from defensive measures taken by the military with the estab- lishment of aerodromes, fortifications and other defences.<br />
Putting things back to how they were took very many years, although during the 1939–1944 period itself a far more immediate problem faced the authorities in Britain: the collection and disposal of shot down or crashed aircraft, allied and enemy. Such crashes needed almost immediate attention for a variety of reasons. How were they dealt with, and what subsequently happened to them?<br />
<br />
Photo shows:  Here, a civilian salvage gang employee looks particularly pleased with himself as he prepares to set about the wrecked fuselage with a rather substantial crow bar. Bullet strikes are plainly visible in this photograph.<br />

  • HORRER MOMENT TRAINEE PILOT IS STABBED IN THE NECK<br />
<br />
This is the horrific moment a trainee pilot is stabbed to death through the NECK by muggers who stole his iPhone.<br />
<br />
Wasin Leuangjaem, 26, had walked to a corner shop to buy cigarettes at around 10pm on Wednesday night in Bangkok, Thailand.<br />
<br />
CCTV shows him get into an argument with a man - dubbed the iPhone killer by Thai media - who is wearing a black motorcycle helmet. <br />
<br />
The pair grapple as the attacker pulls out a large knife - which he plunges through Wasin's neck and into his back.<br />
<br />
The young man is killed instantly and collapses onto the floor - as the attacker and an accomplice flee together on a motorbike.<br />
<br />
Police said the victim's iPhone was missing after the attack and have launched a desperate appeal to find the killer and the man riding the motorcycle. <br />
<br />
Yuttapon Srisompong, from the Thai Royal Police said: ''The CCTV clip shows the young man being stabbed. This is a very nasty killing.<br />
<br />
''Please share as much as you can so that police can find the killer.<br />
<br />
''The family are very upset. The police have to find him, they cannot be afraid of the criminals anymore.''<br />
<br />
Officers in the Lat Phrao district of the city found Wasin dead in a pool of blood. <br />
<br />
He had a stab wound on the front of his neck that had pierced his windpipe and a second stab wound on his back.<br />
<br />
Police said the university graduate was a former employee of Bangkok Flight Services and had left to train to become a pilot.<br />
<br />
A spokesman added: ''There had been a loud argument before. We are studying all the CCTV in the area to find the suspects.<br />
<br />
''The victim's iPhone was missing and his car keys were. It may have been robbery or a personal argument.''<br />

<br />
At the scene thirty-six year old Russian, Ms Sonia Greenburg, had been stabbed in the stomach and was screaming in pain. She was rushed to Pattaya Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment.<br />
<br />
Officers then arrested Mr Oleg Martynov (60), another Russian, owner of the Pecktopah Restaurant, opposite the crime scene. He was taken to Pattaya Police Station.<br />
<br />
Mrs. Patchama Krachaem, (57) a witness and Ms Greenburg’ s employee, said that Ms. Greenburg is the owner of Pizzora S-125 Restaurant nearby.<br />
<br />
She said that they used to be business partners at Pecktopah but left to open their own restaurant after a ‘disagreement.’<br />
<br />
Since then Ms Greenburg, who is a friendly lady, has been very busy as her new restaurant is popular with many regular customers. Meanwhile Pecktoman has been very quiet as nobody goes there anymore.<br />
<br />
Recently, she said,  Mr Martynov came by and threatened Ms Greenburg and so they made a statement at Pattaya Police Station.<br />
<br />
Today, as Ms Greenburg was walking home from work, Mr Martynov confronted her and stabbed her in the stomach before running away.

  • 'Zombie-proof' log cabin includes escape hatch, 360-degree vantage point and weapons cabinet<br />
<br />
It's the dilemma that haunts every British homeowner: how safe are my children from a zombie apocalypse?<br />
<br />
A Leeds merchant has finally answered public concerns by making a undead-proof shed - which will set you back a mere £69,995, plus £20,780 for installation, CCTV, riot gear and solar panels.<br />
<br />
The so-called Zombie Fortification Cabin also has an escape hatch, an interior garden, weapons storage and a 360-degree vantage point, all with a ten-year anti-zombie guarantee. A flamethrower or water cannon, however, will cost you extra.<br />
<br />
Designed just in time for Halloween, the shed - ZFC1 for short - has not yet had any buyers, but that hasn't stopped it attracting a wide range of reviews on its manufacturer's website.<br />
<br />
One, Shaun of the Dead, called it the 'Winchester of Log Cabins' adding: 'In my time I’ve had little respect as an electronics shop employee, with no real direction in life. But when I bought this Zombie proof log cabin I became the envy of all my neighbours!<br />
<br />
'It’s big enough for me as well as my girlfriend and rather vulgar unemployed best friend (who could quite easily be mistaken for a zombie!). With this, any potential zombie apocalypse which could overwhelm the town, I'll have a nice cup of tea and wait for it all to blow over.'<br />
<br />
Not everyone was happy, however. A disgruntled Roger Rotter the Zombie wrote: 'I officially HATE this zombie proof log cabin!!<br />
<br />
'Having roamed our way through the land mines, in just about one piece, a cluster of us avoided the flamethrowers and made it to the walls. No matter what we tried (eating through the walls, climbing to the roof etc) we just couldn't break in.<br />
<br />
'Unfortunately, as time wore on it became obvious this was a lost cause and some 28 days later we gave up.' <br />

  • To catch an iThief: Woman whose iPhone is stolen on Disney cruise outs 'snatcher' after it automatically posts pictures he took to HER account<br />
<br />
A woman whose iPhone went missing on a Disney Cruise was able to catch the alleged thief after photos he took with her phone began popping up in her ‘cloud’ – the feature that stores and syncs all personal documents.<br />
Katy McCaffrey, who went on the cruise last month, began noticing that photos started to pop up in her iCloud account.<br />
Included in those photos were pictures of her alleged iPhone thief on the cruise ship, viewing the sunset, going to parties, and drinking with other crew members.<br />
In an effort to reclaim her phone, Ms McCaffrey created an album on Facebook entitled ‘Stolen iPhone Adventures.’ <br />
It shows 20 pictures of a man she calls ‘Nelson’ taking advantage of her phone aboard the Disney Wonder, nymag.com’s Daily Intel blog originally reported.<br />
The disgruntled cruise-goer was able to see the pictures because of an Apple feature called Photostream, which automatically uploads all photos taken with the iPhone to their iCloud account.<br />
Nelson, it seems, was too busy having a good time to check whether or not Photostream was activated.<br />
The feature can be turned off with a simple on/off switch in the phone’s settings.<br />
<br />
Photos Nelson took document Nelson’s adventures on the cruise ship. In the first picture, he’s posing on the deck in front of a beautiful ocean sunset.<br />
Ms McCaffrey writes: ‘This is Nelson. Nelson has stolen my iPhone.’<br />
She was able to identify him by a clearly placed name tag below the left lapel of his shirt as he was pictured with character actors.<br />
In later pictures, Nelson takes snapshots of his pregnant girlfriend, assumedly another Disney Cruise employee. <br />
Many of them show Nelson out drinking with friends (‘gosh they look a cool group of folks’) and the boat’s captain at a gathering with drinks and cake (‘sure looks like they had a swell time.’)<br />

  • Feeling hen-pecked? Chinese company allows staff to wear masks at work to help them deal with stress<br />
<br />
A company in Hangzhou, eastern China, has allowed its staff to wear masks at work to help them feel more confident while dealing with demanding bosses.<br />
<br />
Employees were seen donning various kinds of headgears, which ranged from a Venetian mask to a quirky hen-shaped mask, on the company's 'De-stress Day' last week.<br />
<br />
Managers of the firm hope the novel idea can help staff feel more relaxed at work, especially when they are required to present ideas in front of colleagues and supervisors<br />
<br />
The unusual scene was captured on September 23 in Songcheng Performance Development Company, which operates a large movie theme park in Zhejiang province.<br />
<br />
All staff were allowed to wear headdresses of their choices when they worked at desk and attended meetings.<br />
<br />
It is thought masks can conceal employees' emotion, thus make them feel more comfortable while speaking up in front of colleagues and supervisors.<br />
<br />
In addition, for junior employees, they were more likely to share opinions because they wouldn't recognise their bosses.<br />
<br />
A manager of the company confirm the thought. <br />
<br />
The unnamed manage told Chinese media that meetings were much more constructive on that day as employees appeared to be more outspoken behind masks. <br />
A pillow fight was also organised during the lunch hour to help staff reduce stress.<br />
<br />
<br />
The event organiser said: 'Through this activity, our employees could hopefully restore the balance between work and leisure.<br />
<br />
'This can also help them reduce pressure at work.'<br />
The online community in China seemed to have divided opinion on the event.<br />
<br />
One Weibo user said: 'Why doesn't the company just give their employees another day off instead?'<br />
<br />
While another online user commented: 'It is quite good to hide their faces. <br />
<br />
'The leaders do not have to show any emotions when they have meetings. They can just have a poker face.' <br />

  • Feeling hen-pecked? Chinese company allows staff to wear masks at work to help them deal with stress<br />
<br />
A company in Hangzhou, eastern China, has allowed its staff to wear masks at work to help them feel more confident while dealing with demanding bosses.<br />
<br />
Employees were seen donning various kinds of headgears, which ranged from a Venetian mask to a quirky hen-shaped mask, on the company's 'De-stress Day' last week.<br />
<br />
Managers of the firm hope the novel idea can help staff feel more relaxed at work, especially when they are required to present ideas in front of colleagues and supervisors<br />
<br />
The unusual scene was captured on September 23 in Songcheng Performance Development Company, which operates a large movie theme park in Zhejiang province.<br />
<br />
All staff were allowed to wear headdresses of their choices when they worked at desk and attended meetings.<br />
<br />
It is thought masks can conceal employees' emotion, thus make them feel more comfortable while speaking up in front of colleagues and supervisors.<br />
<br />
In addition, for junior employees, they were more likely to share opinions because they wouldn't recognise their bosses.<br />
<br />
A manager of the company confirm the thought. <br />

  • To the world, Chernobyl is a place of danger, but for locals, Chernobyl is simply a way of life.<br />
<br />
On April 26, 1986, an explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant changed history, sending radiation and political shockwaves across Europe.  After the accident, nearby towns and villages were first evacuated, and then abandoned.  A generation later, the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has become terra incognita for mostóinaccessible, misunderstood, and terrifying.<br />
<br />
Inside the Exclusion Zone, however, life goes on.  More than 3,000 workers manage the Zone, living in Chernobyl town during 4 and 15-day shifts.  Another 3,800 employees commute daily to work at the Chernobyl plant.  Some 400 elderly villagers have illegally resettled their homes and farms inside the Zone.<br />
<br />
Outside the Exclusion Zone are over two thousand villages where radiation fell but people continue to live.  The accident and subsequent evacuations affected residents economically, socially, psychologically óand physically.  <br />
<br />
How much radiation is safe? No one knows.  Thorough medical research has never been done to determine the health effects of long-term radiation exposure.  In the absence of facts, people believe rumors, propaganda, and their own first-hand experiences.<br />
<br />
Why do they stay? A lack of alternatives.  A sense of duty.  Deep ties to the land.  Decent jobs.  Because this is home.<br />
<br />
The closer you are to Chernobyl, the less dangerous it seems.  Instead of radiation, Chernobylites today have new fears.  They worry about their future.  Keeping their jobs.  Opportunities for their children.  Maintaining their hometowns.<br />
<br />
If you lived here, would you stay? <br />

Mall employees reenact WWII executions of Japanese soldiers to promote sales<br />
<br />
A shopping mall in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province sparked controversy and confusion when they had their workers don "Eight Route Army" uniforms and reenact WWII executions of Japanese soldiers to promote sales. According to the manager, the mall started this "anti-Japanese themed" promotion during the anniversary of the Japanese invasion of China on July 7th, to allow customers to reminisce/sell clothes. Because apparently not even sensitive chapters of history are off-limits when it comes to facilitating consumer spending. Not to mention that it makes about as much sense as Wal-Mart reenacting Omaha Beach in the furniture aisle to spur sales of bean bag chairs.<br />
This might be even worse than the time Harbin installed Japanese soldier urinals to "promote pissing." <br />

According to the manager, the mall started this "anti-Japanese themed" promotion during the anniversary of the Japanese invasion of China on July 7th, to allow customers to reminisce/sell clothes. Because apparently not even sensitive chapters of history are off-limits when it comes to facilitating consumer spending. Not to mention that it makes about as much sense as Wal-Mart reenacting Omaha Beach in the furniture aisle to spur sales of bean bag chairs.<br />
This might be even worse than the time Harbin installed Japanese soldier urinals to "promote pissing." <br />

  • Fascinating Color Portrait Photos of Women Railroad Workers During WWII<br />
<br />
World War II began when Hitler's army invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. However, it wasn't until the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, that the United States declared war on the Axis Powers.<br />
<br />
The railroads immediately were called upon to transport troops and equipment heading overseas. Soon the efforts increased to supporting war efforts on two fronts-- in Europe and in the Pacific.<br />
<br />
Prior to the 1940s, the few women employed by the railroads were either advertising models, or were responsible primarily for cleaning and clerical work. Thanks to the war, the number of female railroad employees rose rapidly. By 1945, some 116,000 women were working on railroads. A report that appeared on the 1943 pages of Click Magazine regarding the large number of American women who had stepped forward to see to it that the American railroads continued to deliver the goods during the Second World War:<br />
<br />
    "Nearly 100,000 women, from messengers aged 16 to seasoned railroaders of 55 to 65, are keeping America's wartime trains rolling. So well do they handle their jobs that the railroad companies, once opposed to hiring any women, are adding others as fast as they can get them..."<br />
<br />
In April 1943, Office of War Information photographer Jack Delano photographed the women of the Chicago & North Western Railroad roundhouse in Clinton, Iowa, as they kept the hulking engines cleaned, lubricated and ready to support the war effort.<br />

  • ABANDONED U.S. MARINE HOSPITAL<br />
<br />
The marine hospital opened in 1884 and consisted of six buildings – the surgeon’s house, a stable, the executive building, two wards and the nurses’ building. The facility was originally used to treat Civil War soldiers and to conduct scientific research in hopes of finding a cure for yellow fever.<br />
During the 1930s, several new Works Progress Administration buildings were added to the site. To make room for the new buildings, the wards and stables were demolished and the executive and the nurses’ buildings were moved three hundred feet to their current locations on wagons pulled by mules. The nurse’s station is located on the east side of the 1930s hospital building and the executive building is now home to the National Ornamental Metal Museum, a museum for the collection, preservation, and exhibition of historical and contemporary metalwork.<br />
The three-story, neo-classical brick hospital building was completed in 1937 and built in the Georgian-style with slate roofing, a copper cupola on pedestals, and large limestone columns, capitals, and gutters. Each wing of the building contained patient rooms and day rooms, while the center section contained a dental ward, operating room, sound proof chamber for hearing tests and nurse stations.<br />
Although built to serve the needs of ailing seamen, the building has been used by the Coast Guard, cadets of the state maritime academies, members of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, Public Health fieldmen, the Army Corps of Engineers and employees and federal workers injured on duty.<br />
After the hospital closed in 1965, the western half of the property was leased to a group of businessmen in 1976, who would later develop the Metal Museum. The buildings on that side of the property included a nurses’ dormitory which now houses the museums galleries and gift shop, the junior officers’ quarters which is used by artists in residence and other guests of the museum, and a two-story maintenance build

  • TUNNEL VISION Inside the UK’s largest purpose-built WW2 bomb shelter where thousands of Brits sought refuge from Nazi attacks<br />
The chilling shots were taken by urban exploration group Abandoned Scotland who hope to draw attention to some of Scotland's forgotten landmarks<br />
<br />
TAKE a step into the dark, rusty tunnels built in the side of a cliff in Port Glasgow, Scotland.<br />
<br />
But as daunting as the tunnels look, they have a fascinating history.<br />
The creepy passageways were once used as a World War II air raid shelter – and would have been a safe haven to those who needed refuge from the Nazi bombings.<br />
<br />
The tunnels form a labyrinth like network and are thought to be one of the UK’s largest such shelters – with space for up to an impressive 1,000 people.<br />
<br />
But what was once considered a zone of safety and security is now deserted and forgotten.<br />
<br />
The chilling shots were taken by urban exploration group Abandoned Scotland who hope to draw attention to some of Scotland’s forgotten landmarks.<br />
<br />
Other pictures depict the remains of the toilets as well as the generator that would have been used to power the shelter.<br />
<br />
According to Abandoned Scotland , the shelter itself was built by the Birkmyre family in preparation for WW2.<br />
<br />
The Birkmyre family reportedly owned the nearby Gourock ropeworks – which has now been developed into flats.<br />
The clan contributed considerably to the Inverclyde area as owners of the ropeworks, and the shelter was reportedly built for both the employees and their families.<br />
<br />
Inverclyde underwent two nights of rigorous bombing in 1941 – with May 6 and 7 referred to as the ‘Greenock Blitz’ .<br />
Approximately 246 people died in Greenock during the two nights,  while 626 were injured – 290 of them seriously.<br />
<br />
A further 52 people were listed as ‘missing’ and presumed dead, with 74 killed in Port Glasgow, 30 of whom were in one shelter which was hit by a 250kg bomb.<br />
