My husband and I often travel in a small camper van together. We try to give each other space, stay positive, and meet other people when we can. Living in cramped quarters like our van can definitely challenge our relationship, but we've learned to make it work. AdvertisementWhile our van is indeed a small space, the flip side of "cramped" is "cozy." Our van is our safe space, and whatever compromises we need to make to keep it that way are absolutely worth it.

A special prosecutor announced Friday that Georgia Lt. Gov. Burt Jones will not be charged over efforts to overturn Donald Trump’s electoral defeat in the 2020 presidential election. Jones had denied wrongdoing in the case and blasted Willis in a statement Friday. Trump and more than a dozen other people were indicted in August 2023 on state felony charges in Georgia tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. The case remains on hold over efforts to disqualify Willis in her role as prosecutor.

Darvaza, Turkmenistan CNN —Rarely does an industrial accident develop into a major tourist attraction. Mysterious originsNo one is quite sure when the gas crater opened, apparently because the Soviet-era reports are missing, incomplete or still confidential. Reaching DarvazaThe gas crater lies a four-hour drive north of Ashgabat, the national capital. Located around a five-minute walk from the crater rim, the camp features yurts with beds and chairs, a shaded dining area and porta-potty/outhouse-style toilets. Garagum lies about a 10-minute walk from the crater rim and even closer to a small rocky mount where visitors can snatch a bird’s-eye-view of the Gates of Hell.

This June and July, nights in Las Vegas stayed above 79 degrees for all but seven days. And hot nights are something more people are experiencing: No American major metro area has grown as much as Las Vegas has over the last three decades. Even after the sun set in Las Vegas in June and July, temperatures routinely remained in the 80s and 90s. Populations have doubled or more over a generation, with the number of abnormally hot nights rising at similar rates.

"You'll regret it if you don't have kids," my friend's mom warned her in her 20s. Back then, in the 50s and 60s, it was assumed that everyone would have kids after they got married. I'm sure having children can indeed be one of life's most beautiful experiences, but I have no regrets. AdvertisementThis was partly because I never experienced a clear, decisive moment when I woke up and said to myself, "I don't want children." I don't mean we should've thrown a party, but rather, I wish now that we had done something simple to mark the transition.

Thomas Loncq and Himika Masago live in a 97-square-foot micro-apartment in Paris. I also wanted to find something in Paris, and that's how I ended up buying such a small place," Loncq told BI. Nestled under the roofs of Paris' apartment buildings, these micro-dwellings were originally meant to be the private quarters of domestic helpers. The toilet is shared with other occupants on the same floor, Loncq said. "I like to live here because since the space is small, sunlight comes into all parts of the room," Masago said.

New York CNN —Federal consumer safety regulators are pushing ahead in their effort to make baby loungers safer by proposing a major redesign of the products, following 79 deaths connected with their use. Another recommended redesign is for the height of the infant support side cushions to not exceed two inches, again to reduce the risk of entrapment and suffocation. “Infant support cushions have fallen outside of the reach of both voluntary and mandatory safety standards. One of the Yoocaa baby loungers recalled in early November 2023. According to federal safety regulators, more than 80% of the deaths involved babies three-months old and younger.

I married my husband when we were both 21 years old. We sold our first house for twice what we paid for it, and I found a way to make my English degree pay. We always wait for movies to leave theaters before we see them, and we've walked miles to avoid paid parking. This mindset has saved us a lot of money through the years, even as it shifted from survival strategy to muscle memory. Because honestly, I am pretty sure those younger, hungrier versions of ourselves are the ones who got us here.

The nurse practitioner on duty that day was employed by Corizon Health, Inc., one of the nation's largest private prison healthcare providers. Under federal law, a bankruptcy judge may respond to evidence of self-dealing or perjury by appointing a trustee to take control of the bankrupt company, bankruptcy experts told Insider. Just six months before the Garcia family was scheduled to have their day in court, Corizon filed for bankruptcy. "The Corizon bankruptcy is presently in a court ordered mediation, and we are seeking a global resolution for all the parties involved." Goldberger's attorney, Joseph Haspel, responded to queries with a statement saying that "Mr. Goldberger is a passive investor" in Corizon, Tehum, YesCare, Perigrove, and Perigrove 1018.

A tiny New York City studio with no bathroom and $2,350-a-month rent was quickly snapped up. "If you want to be on a prime block," a student who bid on it said, "you can't have everything." But does a 77-square-foot studio apartment in New York City — which has no kitchen, a shared bathroom in the hallway, and recently rented for $2,350 after a bidding war — count? Homes like these, however, are actually relatively common in New York City. "This apartment has allowed me to live in the center of NYC, which was a priority for me.

Japanese-Brazilian singer-songwriter Kauan Okamoto alleged during a press conference that over the course of four years, beginning in 2012 when he was 15, he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by Kitagawa, who died age 87 in 2019. In 1999, Japanese magazine Shukan Bunshun published accounts of other young men and boys who claimed they were sexually abused by Kitagawa. They ‘knew it was my turn’Singer-songwriter Okamoto joined Kitagawa’s agency in February 2012 while he was in junior high school. Okamoto said Kitagawa would often invite these young recruits to spend the night in his apartment, and pick “favorites” among the boys. “He began massaging my feet,” Okamoto said, and alleged that Kitagawa touched his genitals and performed oral sex on him.

She never saw McGonigal pay. "The notion that Mr. Deripaska is some proxy for the Russian state is a blatant lie," Ruben Bunyatyan, a spokesperson for Deripaska, told Insider by email. McGonigal was not charged with espionage, and although there is currently no evidence that McGonigal committed espionage, an FBI source told Insider that the investigation is ongoing. At the FBI, McGonigal racked up a string of big cases and promotions. "He said he needed to make more money," Guerriero told Insider.
The people who live inside airplanes

CNN —After losing her house to a fire, Jo Ann Ussery had a peculiar idea: to live in an airplane. She bought an old Boeing 727 that was destined for the scrapyard, had it shipped to a plot of land she already owned, and spent six months renovating, doing most of the work by herself. By the end, she had a fully functional home, with over 1,500 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and even a hot tub – where the cockpit used to be. Although she wasn’t the first person to ever live in an airplane, her flawless execution of the project had an inspirational effect. Maybe the worst choice for a home.”As a result, Campbell had to work on the plane for a couple of years before being able to live in it.

She had dated federal law enforcement officials before. "Charlie McGonigal knew everybody in the national security and law enforcement world," Guerriero said, in an exclusive interview with Insider. One law enforcement source estimated that McGonigal stood to make roughly $300,000 to $350,000 a year, including annual bonuses. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, whom she knew from law enforcement circles, let her stay in a guest bedroom. During her relationship with McGonigal, Guerriero says, they never talked about politics.
In the early '70s, Bruce Campbell paid $25,800 for 10 acres of land in Hillsboro, a suburb of Portland, Oregon. In 1999, Campbell decided he would follow through but had no idea how to go about it, so he hired a salvage company to find him a plane. Campbell paid $100,000 for it, and the plane was flown from Greece to Oregon to prepare it for him to take ownership. Next to the kitchen area, Campbell has his futon sofa, which doubles as his sleeping area, and his workbench. His monthly expenses are $370 a month, which includes $220 a month in property taxes and between $100 to $250 a month in electricity.
In August 2020, tour guide Louis Herron spent about $15,000 setting up a yurt on his property outside the Grand Canyon. In 2011, Louis Herron dropped out of Ball State University, packed a backpack and moved west. After a couple of months, he nabbed a similar role at Glacier National Park before settling in Flagstaff, Arizona, right outside the Grand Canyon. There, Herron spent $2,400 for an acre of land that would eventually host two tiny homes, his Grand Canyon touring business and his side hustle: a 16-foot yurt listed on Airbnb. Louis Herron

Instead, a friend of a friend linked me up with an ayahuasca sangha, a Buddhist word for a spiritual community. I thought of my old friend, Scott, who, many years before, had declined an opportunity to drink ayahuasca.
He shared with Insider six books that helped him get started in his real estate journey. In an interview with Insider, Adesada mentioned six specific books that helped him get started on his journey to financial freedom through real estate investing. "So by the end of that exercise, I had started developing a plan to buy my second property." Adesada hired her team based on the strategies in "Long-Distance Real Estate Investing" by David Greene, which instructed investors to choose "rockstar real estate agents" for markets outside of their local area. "It's really all the information you need to run a successful real estate property management company — not just own a property or two," he explained.
