Have you ever taken a long look at your life and asked yourself how far you have come and where you are now? I’m happy with who I am today? I flash back into life and I smile and ask myself how did I become a linguist? How did I learn to speak and write French language? Was it going to school to learn that helped me? I want to believe that it is the…

It says 64-year-old Rustem Kazazi was carrying the cash because he wanted to avoid transaction fees and thought it would be safer than trying to withdraw large sums of money…

Instead of being able to see directly outside, passengers view images projected in from outside the aircraft using fibre-optic cameras.
