Joshua Van remembers asking his mother why they had to live in Houston. Why couldn't they just go back home where things were familiar? He was 12 years old at the time, and Van wanted to go back to where he lived the first decade of his life, in Myanmar. Life wasn't easy for an undersized pre-teen who spoke little English and was picked on during school for both of those attributes. Looking back, the math adds up that he'd become the first Burmese fighter to compete in the UFC. "I was a small kid," Van recently told MMA Junkie. "From where I come from, you get picked on. It's kind of like I fight everyday, and I got to the point where I enjoyed fighting. I watched clips on street fights...

The Ghana Drunkards Association has issued a three-week ultimatum to the government, demanding a reduction in the prices of alcoholic beverages following the recent appreciation of the cedi. In a viral video posted on X (Formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the association’s president, Moses Drybones, decried the continued rise in alcohol prices despite the cedi gaining strength against major foreign currencies. “To date, the prices of alcoholic drinks keep going up. If you purchase alcohol, there is an increment of about 15%, and this affects vendors,” he said. The group expressed frustration that, although the cedi had strengthened and prices of some goods had dropped,...

The Namib Desert in Namibia is said to be the oldest and driest desert on Earth, so the last thing you would expect to find right in the middle of it is a working pink refrigerator. Imagine walking through an African desert, nothing but rocks and barren mountains as far as the eye can see, and all of a sudden stumbling on a pink refrigerator and a metal table with two small chairs next to it. Sounds like one of those infamous desert mirages, but not only is this Barbie-inspired fridge real, it also works, and it is constantly restocked with refreshing drinks. Located about a 20-minute drive from the main road traversing the Namib Desert from north to south, the pink refrigerator was...

She felt he put her social media career under house arrest. Many blame social media for interfering with their life, but for some people, it’s just the opposite.

(“My followers declined as I was kept busy washing...

  If location is everything in real estate, then 6105 Mulholland Highway may have just taken home the crown. Nestled into the hillside of Beachwood Canyon and perched just beneath the towering white letters that spell “Hollywood,” this A-frame chalet isn’t just close to the famous sign — it’s the closest residence to it, The Post has learned. Listed for $2.25 million with Christopher Soffer and Trenton Armitage of The Beverly Hills Estates, the midcentury hideaway offers something few properties can: front-row views of the cultural landmark that has defined Los Angeles for a century. “It is extremely limited,” Soffer told The Post....

Every anniversary is a special occasion deserving of celebration. The number of years people are married also has a corresponding gift. For instance, 25 years of marriage is usually associated with silver, and 50 years is affiliated with gold. Rather than take the traditional route with golden jewelry, however, a farmer in Kansas found a unique way to make his anniversary one to remember. Lee Wilson planted 1.2 million sunflowers across 80 acres to surprise his wife, Renee. The result of his planning and labor clearly worked as a video of the yellow field looks like a magical sight. Almost as far as the eye can see, there are tall, vibrant sunflowers brightening the landscape. There are...

Jon Bon Jovi is standing in the way of a mystery buyer and one of the biggest real estate deals in US history. The American rock star is the last obstacle to an anonymous client who has been quietly assembling one of the most valuable private estates in the country.

Even for a millionaire, Johan Eliasch's country retreat is on the large side. The 1,600 square kilometers, or 617 square miles, of Brazil's Amazon rain forest that the Swedish businessman bought in 2005 would take several weeks to walk across, braving snakes and piranhas along the way. He says he bought it to protect that rich environment but an influx of foreign buyers such as Eliasch is stirring indignation in Brazil, tapping into long-held fears that the country's massive land resources are coveted abroad. The government has begun investigating what officials say may be irregular transactions, including Eliasch's, and said this week it is examining ways to put more controls on...
