Slender Man Fictional supernatural character Fictional character Beginning in 2014, a moral panic occurred over the Slender Man after readers of his fiction were connected to several violent acts, particularly a near-fatal stabbing of a 12-year-old girl in Waukesha, Wisconsin.[1] The stabbing inspired the documentary Beware the Slenderman, which was released in 2016. Description Because the Slender Man's fictional "mythology" has evolved without an official "canon" for reference, his appearance, motives, habits, and abilities are not fixed but change depending on the storyteller.[2] He is most commonly described as very tall and thin with unnaturally long, tentacle-like arms (or mere tentacles),[3] which he can extend to intimidate or capture prey. Early stories featured him targeting children or young adults.

Zombie US Some maps require a ton of research. Some maps require a lifetime of study. Some maps require a boatload of data. Some maps tell a story. This blog happens to be about a couple of maps that are about zombies – or a potential zombie apocalypse, to be precise. The maps try to identify regions most at risk for a zombie awakening. Maybe the nation’s only hope lies in the bowels of research lab facilities like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). These maps show the current location of eleven such centers in the contiguous US. The maps are pretty simple. The static map was built in ArcMap using the above mentioned derived Potential Zombie Outbreak Index. The webmap was again built in ArcMap, but taken in a different direction with ArcGIS Online to focus more on the CDC “safe zone network”. The crime data came from AGS, and the migraine data came from GfK MRI. The map is meant to be taken as serious as the threat itself.

A unique and ingenious stratagem they've spent hours contemplating that ensures they and their loved ones will stay alive in the event of a zombie apocalypse. The only problem? Jesus, you're not going to last five minutes. #5. First things first: You need a firearm. The only problem being: So does everybody else. The closest gun shop to your house is also the closest gun shop to a thousand other people's houses, and at least a few dozen of them are going to get there before you. "You can have my gun... when you come down to my place of business and ask politely. Now you and a thousand other people are on the outside of a suburban fortress, hurling "pretty pleases" at a half-insane, heavily-armed, trained marksmen inside. #4.

Solanum - Zombie Wiki - Zombies, Undead, Survival Guide Solanum is a common zombie virus. Behavior Edit Solanum begins to transform the host from human into a zombie once it is introduced into the body. The transformed brain does continue some minor activity, as the zombie will reanimate and hunt and consume anything it identifies as living. The virus mutates each infected cell into a sort of organ, independent from every other cell, and the physiological tasks it once performed for the human. Point of Origin Despite exhaustive (and continuing) searching across the world, no isolated sample has ever been found in nature. Post World War Z research suggests that the pandemic that killed 50-70% of the world's population originated from the Yang-tze River in China, somewhere in the flood basin of the Three Gorges Dam. Transference Solanum is 100 percent communicable and 100 percent fatal. Cross-Species Infection All animals besides humans can instinctively detect traces of the Solanum virus, and nearly all have the same reaction to it: terror.
Halloween Halloween or Hallowe'en (/ˌhæləˈwiːn, -oʊˈiːn, ˌhɑːl-/; a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening")[5] also known as All Hallows' Eve,[6] is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It initiates the triduum of Hallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.[7] According to many academic scholars, All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast initially influenced by Celtic harvest festivals,[8][9] with possible pagan roots, particularly the Gaelic Samhain.[6][10][11] Other academic scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots.[12] Etymology[edit] History[edit] Gaelic and Welsh influence[edit] Snap-Apple Night, painted by Daniel Maclise in 1833, shows people feasting and playing divination games on Halloween in Ireland.

Homeland Security Watch » What zombies can teach homeland security. A zombie is a “re-animated human corpse that feeds on living human flesh.” Mostly they serve as fodder for popular entertainment. But an attack by real zombies would be anything but entertaining. Four Canadian mathematicians who wrote “When Zombies Attack!: Mathematical Modeling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection” warn, “… if zombies arise, we must act quickly and decisively to eradicate them before they eradicate us.” The scholars — Philip Munz, Ioan Hudea, Joe Imad, and Robert J. While obviously not realistic, their analysis “demonstrates… how modeling can respond to a wide variety of challenges in biology.” The link between their work and biological attacks, pandemics, and related public health threats to the United States is an obvious one. Why zombies matter to homeland security The authors describe their basic model for zombie infection, discuss equilibria and stability issues, and then suggest conditions under which eradication of the zombie infection can occur. Summary of the argument
Tactics and Strategies - Zombie Wiki - Zombies, Undead, Survival Guide "...The level of war at which battles and engagements are planned and executed to accomplish military objectives assigned to tactical units or task forces. Activities at this level focus on the ordered arrangement and maneuver of combat elements in relation to each other and to the enemy to achieve combat objectives." —United States Department of Defense The terms tactic and strategy are often and erroneously used interchangeably. If, for example, the overall goal is to win a war against another country, one strategy might be to undermine the other nation's ability to wage war by preemptively annihilating their military forces. Tactic Scales and Strategies Edit Small Scale Tactics - Small scale tactics are defined as only needing zero to two people involved. Tactics List of Tactics Aerial Pug Tactic - A strategy of using bait to draw zombies into an open area and to be eradicated by awaiting forces.

How Much Water Do You Need To Survive? | Wonderopolis Humans can live for weeks and sometimes months without food. Going without water, however, is a different story… Two-thirds of the human body (by weight) consists of water. Your body loses water constantly through sweat, urine, and even breathing. In extreme heat, an adult can lose almost half-a-gallon of water through sweat alone. Surprisingly, it’s also easy to become dehydrated in very cold environments. So how long can you survive without water? To stay healthy, you need to continually replenish your fluid supply. If you love animals, you may already know that camels are famous for being able to go long periods of time — in the desert heat — without drinking. So how do they do it? Camels can go a long time without drinking because their internal body temperature can vary much more than a human’s, which allows them to withstand high temperatures without needing to sweat to cool their bodies.
