    South Korea Torrential Rain
    A cow survives isolation in a flooded cattle shed in Yesan-Gun, South Korea, on July 18, 2025. Torrential rains that slam South Korea for three days leave four people dead, two missing, and more than 5,600 people evacuated, officials say on Friday, as weather authorities warn of more downpours across the nation.

The House has passed a bill asking President Joe Biden to seize assets from sanctioned Russian oligarchs and use them to benefit Ukraine. The bill passed, but eight members of the chamber voted against the measure Ñ four Republicans and four Democrats.

    FEATURE - Hotel bietet Räume in einer unterirdischen Höhle in New Mexico an


    A hotel company is offering the perfect escape from the U.S. election season – with accommodation in an underground cave.

    Hotels.com say they are helping escape the chatter to “go live under a rock — literally.”

    The off-the-grid overnight experience in New Mexico is a man-made cave built 50 feet below ground.

    The company explains: “After you've cast your ballot (by mail, absentee, early voting, etc.!), you can check out of the newsfeed negativity and check in to a man-made cave built 50 feet below ground for a five-night stay from November 2 – 7, 2020. This off-the-grid overnight experience in New Mexico will have you saying, "2020 who?" as you embrace the cave's amenities, or lack thereof. Go ahead! Relax and cut all access to Wi-Fi, cable TV, and daily newspaper service. We won't blame you!”

    "Political fatigue is real regardless of the year or election," said Josh Belkin, Vice President, Global brand Hotels.com. "We're transforming an age-old idiom into a bookable experience, so individuals can relax, recharge, and recover... because who knows what else 2020 has in store for us."

    The cost to stay is an “Abraham Lincoln-inspired presidential rate" of just $5 a night. The property is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

    FEATURE - Plan B: Stilvolles neues Konzept für unterirdische Überlebensbunker


    When the apocalypse comes, you may as well bunker down in style.

    Called Plan B, this new underground bunker concept has been created by Sergey Makhno Architects, who say their task was to “create a cosy and safe home in the depths of the earth.”

    The massive concrete structure is equipped with three entrances and a helipad on the roof. Set at a depth of 15 metres, it would cover an area of 2,280 square meters and can be placed either near a main residence or in a remote location.

    The dwelling is set out in layers: a living space, a floor with a water treatment system and generator, a layer of electrical equipment, and at the very bottom - a well.

    “Of course, all systems in the Plan B underground building are autonomous,” say the architects. “Water supply, sewerage, closed ventilation system with recuperation, intake, and air purification. Whatever happens on the Earth's surface, life in Plan B will continue.”

    The Ukrainian design company explain: “From the outside, Plan B resembles the entrance to a museum of modern art, or even to a military base. We tried to create a simple and concise form, which in all its perspective would speak of reliability, but also be aesthetically attractive, it would not intimidate and lets you in from both the ground and from the air."

    The project proposal provides comfortable living for two or three families with children and staff with their families. The company say: “If necessary, the project can be redesigned for a much larger number of people, but at this stage, we are interested in experimenting with the underground space in such a way as to create the illusion of being above the surface — as if you could look out the window and see the blue sky.”

    "This project is a release from emotions, a reflection on the continuation of human life under any circumstances, and an attempt to find an answer to the question of whether architecture can create the impression of life at the surface while being in i

    FEATURE - Plan B: Stilvolles neues Konzept für unterirdische Überlebensbunker


    When the apocalypse comes, you may as well bunker down in style.

    Called Plan B, this new underground bunker concept has been created by Sergey Makhno Architects, who say their task was to “create a cosy and safe home in the depths of the earth.”

    The massive concrete structure is equipped with three entrances and a helipad on the roof. Set at a depth of 15 metres, it would cover an area of 2,280 square meters and can be placed either near a main residence or in a remote location.

    The dwelling is set out in layers: a living space, a floor with a water treatment system and generator, a layer of electrical equipment, and at the very bottom - a well.

    “Of course, all systems in the Plan B underground building are autonomous,” say the architects. “Water supply, sewerage, closed ventilation system with recuperation, intake, and air purification. Whatever happens on the Earth's surface, life in Plan B will continue.”

    The Ukrainian design company explain: “From the outside, Plan B resembles the entrance to a museum of modern art, or even to a military base. We tried to create a simple and concise form, which in all its perspective would speak of reliability, but also be aesthetically attractive, it would not intimidate and lets you in from both the ground and from the air."

  • The first rule of Bite Club? Survive an attack by an apex predator.

    The first rule of Bite Club? Survive an attack by an apex predator.
    Surviving a shark - or lion, or bear - attack is the key criterion for entry into Bite Club. Together its members navigate their next big challenge: what happens after you survive?

    "The initiation is a real bitch" says the founder, Dave Pearson.

    All 500 or so members of Bite Club have been in the mouths of apex predators. Literally in the jaws of death. They have survived shark attacks, crocodile bites and lionesses sinking their teeth into their skulls. They have known the absolute terror of being torn apart. They have experienced a primal human fear, that of being eaten alive.

    Dave Pearson of Coopernook at home, survivor of a 3m Bull shark attack at Crowdy Head a decade ago and went on to form the Bite Club for those traumatised after being bit by apex predators. The group has some 500 members worldwide. Subsequent images from Harrington Beach where Dave was surfing with mates when the attack occurred.

    FEATURE - Hotel bietet Räume in einer unterirdischen Höhle in New Mexico an


    A hotel company is offering the perfect escape from the U.S. election season – with accommodation in an underground cave.

    Hotels.com say they are helping escape the chatter to “go live under a rock — literally.”

    The off-the-grid overnight experience in New Mexico is a man-made cave built 50 feet below ground.

    The company explains: “After you've cast your ballot (by mail, absentee, early voting, etc.!), you can check out of the newsfeed negativity and check in to a man-made cave built 50 feet below ground for a five-night stay from November 2 – 7, 2020. This off-the-grid overnight experience in New Mexico will have you saying, "2020 who?" as you embrace the cave's amenities, or lack thereof. Go ahead! Relax and cut all access to Wi-Fi, cable TV, and daily newspaper service. We won't blame you!”

    "Political fatigue is real regardless of the year or election," said Josh Belkin, Vice President, Global brand Hotels.com. "We're transforming an age-old idiom into a bookable experience, so individuals can relax, recharge, and recover... because who knows what else 2020 has in store for us."

    The cost to stay is an “Abraham Lincoln-inspired presidential rate" of just $5 a night. The property is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
