Bus Converted Into A Home In Sharon, Israel Will Totally Change Your Mind About Mobile Living (PHOTOS)

When you picture living in a mobile home, thoughts of "roughing it" in tiny cramped quarters come to mind, right? Well, our friends at Decoist shared this awesome bus converted in a home and totally changed our minds about living on-the-go. Owners Tally Saul and Hagit Morevski picked up the old bus from a scrapyard near their home in Sharon, Israel and with a little help from Ward Design , they totally transformed it into a chic place to live with modern luxuries. From the bright orange booth seating to the sleek white storage with polished wood tops to the quirky art and accessories, you'd never guess this home's very humble beginnings. But, we especially like how they left some of the original interior details, like the rubber flooring and overhead aisle lighting.

13 Places You Should Visit In before the end of 2013

  Wikimedia Commons It's more than halfway through 2013 and even though the summer is winding down, there's still plenty of time to book a trip to a great destination. We looked at major developments, cultural trends, and global festivals to find the hottest places to travel around the world in 2013. There are vast untouched landscapes that offer incredible outdoor experiences, cities that are experiencing a cultural rebirth, and up-and-coming destinations that offer great deals and few tourists. London, England Since Kate Middleton gave birth to Prince George Alexander Louis last week , England has been in the national spotlight, and is expecting a tourism boost. But that's not the only reason to visit the UK right now. The 2012 Summer Olympics in London came and went, but many of the buildings, restaurants, hotels and venues that sprouted up to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of visitors who came for the Olympics still stand.

Enact laws to protect critical facilities — Ndukwe

Former Executive Vice-Chairman, Nigerian Communications Commission, Mr. Ernest Ndukwe, has urged the Federal Government and the National Assembly to enact laws to protect Information and Communications Technology and power facilities as critical national infrastructure. Ndukwe, who made the call at Internet Governance Forum in Abuja, said the enactment of a law on critical national infrastructure would provide a framework for curtailing the growing vandalism of ICT, transport and electricity facilities across the country. According to him, ICT including broadband constitutes essential infrastructure of today’s digital economy as the networks make it possible for African nations to participate actively in the world economy. He added that increased dependency on ICT infrastructure by other sectors could lead to increased vulnerability of the economy as a whole, thus the need to protect the infrastructure from being attacked physically or in the cyberspace. He said, “No modern eco...

Understanding Obama’s African visit

Odilim Basil Enwegbara Not visiting Nigeria by the United States President, Barack Obama, during his visit to Africa would not have become a matter of serious debate had it not been that the country was earlier on the list, but later suddenly dropped without any plausible reasons. The reason why it shouldn’t have is because in international diplomacy, decisions about places or countries national leaders visit or do not visit are simply the prerogative those nations, and they do not owe anyone or any nation explanations for their decisions. Underlining the very important fact that even though Obama is the US president, given that his official oversea trips are never a jamboree but as the chief corporate officer of the US, such are always conducted to maximise national interest, it is hard for the president to simply go to any country without either the immediate and expectant strategic US national interests being the reason. For example, his first and only African visit in his fir...

Male Church Member Accuses Pastor Of Raping Him

After the act, the pastor allegedly threatened to kill his victim if he disclosed the act to the public. Speaking to Vanguard, Pastor Ogbebor simply said: "God will judge, go and talk to others" and kept on mumbling But his victim narrated his ordeal.

He then administered an oath on me, saying if I ever told any one, I will die. "He carried sand and olive oil and poured them on my head, then he wore black garment, saying I will die if I ever leaked the secret. He killed a black fowl and gave me the liver and gizzard to eat at about 2 a.m., threatening tha...

Photos: Man Says He’s Been to Heaven Four Times, Draws Map

Of course, the South African from KwaZulu-Natal tells it in all seriousness. And who knows, he may even be telling the truth about having visited heaven four times, so far. The first time was in 1998, and subsequent visits were made in 2004, 2006 and 2008. It all started in 1993, when a white man (an angel, apparently) paid him a visit and told him he was needed in heaven. And now, after several visits, he's drawing a map to make sure the rest of us 'unlucky' ones get what he's talking about. But it's not the fact that he took a few vacations to heaven or even that he's drawing a map that amuses me. It's more to do with the stuff he says he's seen and done there. According to Mthembu, there are 11 heavens in all, and he was taken to the fifth one, Crista, first. It was there, in a city called Sharmoy, that he claims to have met Jesus. The main heaven is Salem, he says, where God's temple is located. God is apparently in his youth, and of a Grayis...
