One million Britons alive today are Vikings

When observing the history of the British Empire and its invasive activities it can be ascertained that the genetic study by the company Britain DNA is true and correct.

Vikings who have been warriors and invaders were responsible for the pillage of Europe which may have resulted in many European women being their rape victims.

Now the study commissioned to mark the start of the second season of US TV show " Vikings , on Amazon Prime Instant Video streaming service, reveals that one in every 33 British men , around 930,000 can claim to be male line descendants of the Norse warriors who invaded more than 1,000 years ago.

The genetic study found that men in the Shetland and Orkney islands, which were heavily populated by the Vikings, are most likely to have Norse ancestry.

Further south, the Viking presence falls significantly.

Michael Hirst, creator and writer of the TV show Vikings, said: "The research demonstrates the profound effect that the Vikings had on our country when they invaded centuries ago.

"To think that many of us may still have the blood of these feared and famed warriors flowing through our veins so long after their reign is an incredible and profound thought."

The Viking hereditary of the Britons is proved by the way they invaded many Asian and African countries and exploited and plundered the economic and other resources of those countries.

Upside-down house:

eccentric tourist attraction

If you occupy this house you will have to stand on your head with the legs up?

And maybe when sitting down or sleeping you will be in an awkward situation as the furniture too will be upside down!

But don't worry this is only a tourist attraction.

This house built in Fengjing ancient town in the Jinshan District south of Shanghai is not constructed for anyone to live in.

Built at the China Folk Painting Village, the upside down property will have a pathway leading to front door, which is actually an upstairs window.

Tourists visiting the two-storey house, which was designed by local artists, will see that everything that should be on the floor is on the ceiling and vice versa.

It joins an upside down tourist attraction which opened in Russia in January.

The quirky property, which was built at the VVTs the All-Russia Exhibition Centre in Moscow, is fully furnished with decor, belongings and even a Mini. The living room features a sofa and coffee table complete with a reading tablet and a half-empty glass.

The kitchen, kitted out in lime green, has the table set for dinner complete with a lobster, while the bedroom has an upside bed, wardrobe and glowing lamps.

There are also upside down houses in California, South Korea, Poland and Florida.

Fresh air in a can

Luanchuan County in Henan Province has come up with the novel way of making money by essentially 'bottling' fresh air.

'Fresh mountain air' has been captured and shoe-horned into a can and is now being sold to urban residents in smog-troubled China. You may have heard of tinned peaches and even tinned meat but here is the latest craze - air in a can.

Duan Junwei, Deputy Director of Luanchuan's Tourism Bureau, said the first batch of tinned forest air would be given out to urban citizens free. However, anyone wanting to breathe in a tin of fresh mountain air after that will have to pay for it.

Last month eight cities across China, including Beijing, were blanketed in thick smog. Children were rushed to hospital with breathing problems, planes were grounded and cars were ordered off the road.

In 2013 during the Great Smog of China, pollution was so bad it was visible from space and air quality readings reached 500 - ten times the safe amount. They are planning on selling it to residents across China, whose pollution problems have been described as an environmental crisis by the World Health Organisation.
