President Trump and his entourage walk by one of the border wall prototypes Tuesday as the Republican takes his first trip to California as president. President Trump speaks with CBP officers in front of a prototype of a wall that he wants to see built between the United States and Mexico.
|
On Tuesday President Trump finally got a chance to see the eight towering prototypes that could be used to build his long-promised 'big beautiful wall' between the United States and Mexico. 'If you don't have a wall system, you're not going to have a country,' Trump said making brief remarks to reporters as he pointed out the various features of the walls. Today marked the first time the president visited liberal California as president, and his first stop in San Diego was to see the wall options, where he stood on the U.S. side of the border just feet from Tijuana, Mexico, with protesters audibly chanting from the other side. President Trump arrives with his motorcade to look at prototypes for his proposed wall Tuesday in San Diego. https://www.reuters.com/news/picture/trump-visits-the-border-wall-idUSRTS1NFTM http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5495683/Protests-high-dollar-donors-greet-Trump-California-trip.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44

The restaurant owners said the idea to preserve the setting sprung into mind after curious customers/tourists were constantly asking them where Obama sat and what he ate.' The customers love it, many take photos next to the table,' co-owner of the restaurant Nguyen Thi Hang Nga told the BBC. 'For us, it is a nice memory that we will cherish forever. It is not a PR gimmick, I don't think we get more clientele.' The display was set up just before the Lunar New Year [in mid-February] and I haven't noticed any change in the flow of diners.' The owners have also set the table exactly how it was arranged for Obama. 'Of course, the bowls and plates on display have been washed, as well as the empty beer bottles,' the owner said. The honour is usually reserved for the country's top leaders and Obama's display is said to be the first foreign dignity recognised. The former President surprised Vietnamese locals in 2016 when he visited the restaurant. Excited residents eagerly waited outside as Obama left his evening meal with Mr Bourdain.

HenryWilliams:Road in the desert, wide and straight. Like that in the middle east. |
calculusx:Most Nigerians cannot afford accident free vehicles because the landing cost will be too high just like this, carsforsale.com says it all. Salvage title cars are the best bet now, salvage is the reason many Nigerians are car owners today, some cannot even afford the salvage title. All i yearn for is "Full Disclosure" 2011 camry, salvage title of some dealers are as high as this. No matter how expensive a clean title is, some Nigerians are ballers, they ready to pay but have been given salvaged cars instead of clean. "Do not package salvage title as clean title, that's all bro." These attached vehicles tagged by a seller 3.1 and 2.5 have little or no damage, some sellers will tag same cars with multiple rollover/non-repairable in history 3.5 and 2.8

Protesters covered themselves in slogans and held signs that read messages such as 'Vulgar is your lack of respect', 'Obscene Traffic', 'Out with the Cars', and 'Your hurry costs a life'. They seemed in high spirits during the emotional demonstration. Naked cyclists can be seen as they carefully and artistically paint their bodies while taking part in the protest along Avenida Paulista in Sao Paulo, you can see bold, colourful slogans written over their arms, legs, backs and, in the case of some, over their bottoms

A packed car in Saudi Arabia about to perform sidewall skiing. The stunt is achieved in one of two ways by using a ramp to lift the car into position or turning sharply or at speed in a car with a high centre of gravity. Once the car is on two wheels, the driver must steer the vehicle to keep it upright and performers let air out of the tyres on the ground to help with the balance. Two men sit in the front of a car with their faces covered on a major road in the Saudi Arabian city of Tabuk on March 11, 2018.

Incredible pictures have emerged from Saudi Arabia showing young adrenaline junkies driving their 4x4s on just two wheels. The act of balancing the vehicle on two wheels is known as sidewall skiing, and it is seemingly a genuine past time in the desert kingdom. Pictures taken of the stunt being performed show men hanging out of the windows of the moving cars and lying down in the road. Sidewall skiing is achieved in one of two ways - by using a ramp to lift the car into position or turning sharply or at speed in a car with a high centre of gravity such as a 4x4. Once the car is on two wheels, the driver must steer the vehicle to keep it upright and performers let air out of the tyres on the ground to help with the balance. The first recorded sidewall skiing was in Denmark back in 1964, and since then, it has been used in a number of movies including Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazzard, Transformers and in two James Bond films. Saudi men perform a stunt known as "sidewall skiing" (driving on two wheels) in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia on March 11, 2018. A man can be seen hanging out of the window as the driver keeps the vehicle steady with the sun setting int he background. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5488153/Young-men-selfies-enjoy-sidewall-skiing-two-wheels.html Lalasticlala, Mynd44

bejeria101:Yea, but i think she died of shock because the damage on the car is not that much. She's a lady learning Female driver accident occurs everywhere, even in the United States where ladies have been driving for decades. I pray they lift the ban and free these ladies. |
Saudi woman is killed when she crashes into a concrete block while learning to drive before the country lifts its ban on female drivers(2017). A woman in Saudi Arabia has died in a car accident as she was learning how to drive, less than a week after it was announced that the country is lifting the ban on female drivers. The incident took place in Jeddah, near the Red Sea, reportedly during the woman's first driving lesson. Saudi Arabia's King Salman announced that he will be allowing women to drive from June 2018. Many women in the kingdom, which has banned female motorists for 60 years, have been illegally taking to the road in anticipation. The husband had been teaching her how to drive in their local neighbourhood when she suddenly sped forward and crashed into a concrete block. The woman died in the crash and her husband was taken to hospital. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4951096/Saudi-woman-die-car-crash-learning-drive-ban.html Lalasticlala

A Saudi woman leaves a car during a driving training at a university in Jeddah. They said being able to drive would decrease their reliance on those who have to ferry them around, while putting them in charge of their own schedules. “I don’t want to drive just to drive,” said Rehab Alhuwaider, 21. “I want to be able to do my daily routine.” She said she hated it when she wanted to go to the gym in the morning, shopping and had to wait for someone to drop her off. The best part of driving, she said, would be “feeling more freedom.”

Women sat in the cars while instructors explained their features, the gear shift, the gas and brake pedals, the temperature gauge, the cruise-control buttons, the turn signals and windshield wipers. At one point, a student sitting in a driver’s seat sprayed the windshield, making all of the other women laugh. Finally, the instructor told the woman to put her foot on the brake and push the ignition button. The car roared to life and a smile bloomed on her face. “All right!” she said, and the other women clapped.
|
As a first lesson, the women were asked to put on goggles that impaired their vision, to understand the effects on driving from medication, drowsiness or drunkenness. Then they had to pilot a small wheel on the end of a pole across a map on the ground while paying attention to streets, stop signs and pedestrians. There was also a brief talk about road safety, car accidents and the huge number of them caused by texting at the wheel.
|
Women’s universities have announced that they plan to open driving schools, and car companies have shifted their ads, seeking to profit from the anticipated flood of new drivers and car buyers in this country of 32 million. Uber is planning to recruit women to train women who aspire to be Uber drivers, and some dealerships have already set aside shopping hours for women. Ford, Nissan, Jaguar and even Coca-Cola have sought to capitalize on the buzz around women sliding into the driver’s seat. Saudi women at Effat University in Jidda took a car safety course for the first time on Monday.

She climbed into the driver’s seat, put on her seatbelt, found the pedals, released the hand brake and put the car into drive. Then she took a deep breath, eased her foot off the brake...Oh my God, she said and began doing, for the first time, what women will soon be doing all over Saudi Arabia. Three and a half months remain before the date when the rulers of this kingdom have promised to lift the longstanding ban on women driving, and many here are already planning for what is sure to be a major change in Saudi society. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/world/middleeast/saudi-women-drivers.html https://mobile.reuters.com/news/picture/saudi-women-learn-to-drive-idUSRTS1MLH9?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C7448801727 Lalasticlala Mynd44

Shocked locals have discovered a bag containing 27 pairs of severed human hands in far eastern Russia. The shocking find was made close to the city of Khabarovsk in Siberia, close to the border with China. A local found one of the hands lying on the shore of a river, leading police officers to a bag with the other 53 hands inside. While nobody knows where the hands came from, one theory is that they were removed by body part dealers to stop police identifying the remains they were trying to sell. Another is that the hands were severed from dead bodies in a hospital but it isunclear why this would happen. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5478351/Horror-54-severed-human-hands-dumped-Russia.html
