17th Century Safe - Old Wooden Safe - Built In2o Bedroom Wall!

Market Overton: 17th Century Wooden Safe – Built into Bedroom Wall! (26.10.2025)

Anyway, I digress. This morning, and for the first-time in decades, I heard a local Parish Church ring the church-bells – summoning the faithful to worship on this crisp Sunday-morning! I am literally sat in the epicentre of history! Probably far more so than usual. As you can see above – in the bedroom I am frequenting – there is a wooden safe built into the wall. The wood does not seem that secure to me – and I know I could easily place my fist through the door – it seems that thin (not that I would do such a thing). Years ago (in Hong Kong) when I had to punch objects whilst holding an egg in the palm (which had to remain “unbroken”) – the objects I had to hit were far more “stout” than this structure. I cannot not discern any writing on the casing of the safe – but such a craftsman’s signature might be immediately adjacent to the inner wall structure.

Rutland - Market Overton - Ancient Village Stocks!

Rutland: Ancient Village Stocks & Whipping Post on Market Overton Green! (25.10.2025)

In the old days, the local Courts would often sentence local people to a set-time in the Stocks. With their hands and feet firmly manacled into the device – the interested village population could take it in-turns to throw rotten fruit and vegetables – together with animal waste and other such horrible substances, at the condemned. This was at a time when long sentences of imprisonment were not yet used as a punishment. This treatment was designed to be so humiliating that a villager would not dare commit a similar crimnal act in the future – or at least that was the intention.

Major US Cyber-Attacked Prevented!

China: US [NSA] Planned to Sabotage “Beijing Time” to Disrupt GPS! (20.10.2025)

Besides causing severe disruptions in China, such cyberattacks could lead to international time chaos with incalculable consequences, the agency said in a post on its official WeChat account.

Wei Dong, deputy director of the general office at the centre, said a time discrepancy of just one millisecond can disrupt the sequencing of power substations, leading to widespread blackouts. A difference of one microsecond could result in fluctuations worth billions in international stock markets.

“Furthermore, a nanosecond discrepancy, which is one-billionth of a second, can reduce the positioning accuracy of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System by 30 centimetres and impact everyday communications. And a one-trillionth of a second could cause several kilometres of deviation in the positioning of lunar soil collection vehicles and the Chang’e spacecraft, potentially preventing it from returning successfully,” Wei told China Central Television.

South Koreans Protest China Tourists!

South Korean: Lee Orders Crackdown on Racially motivated “Anti-China” Protests! (6.10.2025)

Ahead of the rallies, the Chinese embassy in Seoul expressed regret on Thursday that some politicians in South Korea are spreading disinformation. Certain far-right groups are holding demonstrations targeting China in areas such as Myeong-dong and Daerim-dong in Seoul, where Chinese tourists gather. The embassy is located in Myeong-dong.

In a statement, the embassy said that the planned rallies were ill-intentioned and against public sentiment. It noted that they were held on a festive occasion when Chinese people celebrate National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, while South Koreans celebrate the National Foundation Day and Chuseok holidays.

The embassy urged the South Korean government to guarantee the safety and lawful rights and interests of Chinese citizens in the country.
