Foreign AffairsRe: President Trump Visits His Border Wall Prototype Between U.S. And Mexico(Photos) by Explorers(op): 1:25pm On Mar 14, 2018
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.

Foreign AffairsPresident Trump Visits His Border Wall Prototype Between U.S. And Mexico(Photos) by Explorers(op):
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Car TalkSaudi Style, Photos Shows Arab Men Driving Their Suvs On Just Two Wheels. by Explorers(op):
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 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.

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.

There was also a brief talk about road safety, car accidents and the huge number of them caused by texting at the wheel.

Crime54 Severed Hands In A Bag In Russia Discovered (Photos) by Explorers(op): 7:46pm On Mar 08, 2018
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.
