Venezuela's political crisis is reaching a breaking point
Social unrest has simmered in Venezuela for the last few years, at times breaking out in widespread protests, and tensions have mounted this year, as an opposition-led legislature leads aneffort to recall President Nicolas Maduro.
But a protest that broke out near the presidential palace in Caracas on Thursday indicates that the strife has reached a segment of the country critical to the government's popular support.
A group of Venezuelans waiting in line at a supermarket in Caracas made a run for Miraflores, the presidential palace, after they sawwhat appeared to be people affiliated with the government taking food they had been waiting for hours in the heat to buy.
I transformed my Jeep into a moving house to travel around Africa for 2 years — here's what it was like to build
Hi, I'm Dan. A few years ago, I drove a Jeep from Alaska to Argentina.
I learned a lot on that trip about where I want to go and what kind of vehicle I want to live in.
After years of saving and planning, I bought a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (4 door) Rubicon to turn into a house on wheels to drive around Africa for two years.
My build focused on interior living space, strong 4x4, and it had to fit inside a standard 20-foot shipping container.
Here's what it was like:

Apple should buy Uber
Calling Uber a Silicon Valley unicorn is passé. Uber is a $62.5 billion monster that's threatening to take down a nervous tech market.
The latest news is that Uber last week accepted a $3.5 billion investment from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund.
That means Uber now has $11 billion to fuel its growth. But what's conspicuously lacking from that assumed growth is some type of exit strategy for Uber's earlier investors.
Will there ever be an IPO? Not anytime soon, if CEO Travis Kalanick has his way.
There is another option of course: acquisition.
Conservatively, Uber's acquisition value would be something like $80 billion. That's a big bite. Tesla has a market cap of about $30 billion. General Motors is $46 billion. Ford is $52 billion.

WOMEN WANT MORE SEX THAN MEN THINK, SAYS AWESOME NEW STUDY
According to a series of studies, men in relationships often underestimate how often and when their girlfriends or wives want to have sex.

The couples documented their general sexual desire, perception of their partner’s sexual desire, and their satisfaction with their relationship via journal over the course of three weeks, or went into the lab and reported those same factors in person.
