Good Morning To Everybody

In England and Ireland there was a profession that was called Knocker-up or Knocker-upper. Those were specially trained people who woke everybody up for work, instead of an alarm clock. She was originated in the time of the Industrial Revolution and existed until the 20's of the 20th century. This position was occupied mostly by elderly people, but for an additional fee the work was entrusted to the local constable.

In his medical equipment shop in Munich, ocularist Gerhard Greiner makes glass-blown prosthetics for people who have lost an eye or eyes due to trauma, illness or accidents. Each glass eye takes Mr Greiner about one hour to produce as he painstakingly ensures he gets the right colour for each patient and creates detailed drawing of the veins.

Another Hobbit House

It has all the features of a proper hobbit house – rustic craftsmanship, country charm, and the famous circular doors with the knob squarely in the middle. But this real-life house is worlds away from the Shire, and isn’t even in Middle Earth. Instead, the stone cottage is nestled into Chester County, surprisingly near Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania.

Interesting Russian Development

This is a unique development of Russian scientists for the army of the country. A new assault bulletproof shield was called “Zabor” (“Fence”) which could be probably also listed in this post of today. This powerful shield has a 5-class protection and can stop bullets of AKM, SVD, and even fragments of grenades, however it is rather heavy – 50 kilograms (110 lb).

These extraordinary pictures show the continuing Taliban threat in Afghanistan - and the opportunistic spirit residents must show if they are to survive in the war-torn land. They depict the aftermath of an attack on an oil tanker today, apparently targeted by Taliban fighters while on its way to deliver fuel to NATO soldiers. While the vessel was still burning, locals lined up with buckets and jerrycans to siphon off oil and take it home.

The Fascinating Hyena Men Of Nigeria By Photographer Pieter Hugo

The locals of Nigeria know these men as Gadawan Kura (rough translation: ‘hyena handlers/guides’) but portrayed by Nigerian press as little more than a group of shady body guards, bank robbers, drug dealers and debt collectors – there has always been a tangible sense of myth and mystery surrounding the existence of “the hyena men of Nigeria”. Their origin is a mystery, and so is what they do to tame these hyenas. Their lifestyle is quite unique. Anyone want to tame Hyenas as a hobbie?
