we all are aware of the fact that in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 most of the people of our generation are going to face job interviews. hold on, think for a second. What is the first thing/tool that a person needs when he/she is hunting for a job?
The best resume right? also, a good cover letter separates him/her from the rest of the job hunters and puts him on the top of the priority list.
when it comes to a real-life scenario, most of the people have no idea how to write a resume that can ensure his/her selection procedure. according to a survey 77.8 % of the resume being sent to several companies, job portals etc are almost the same and has no or very minimal difference.
nowadays people are ready to spend anything so as to find their dream job. so directly on indirectly they are ready to spen on their resume too just for the fact that resume's are the first step of this ladder of seeking jobs.
A resume writer will assist job seekers/hunters by creating a resume that clearly exhibits a candidate's skills. you will have to interview candidates, find out his skills and create resumes that positively catch the keen attention of those who are going to review the candidate's resume.
This service also includes cover letters or providing career counselling or thank-you letters to potential employers or interview rehearsals (these are the extra services which you can offer in bonus).
- Your clients can be anybody who is seeking for a job, whether they are currently employed or not.
- College students who are soon going to enter into the big world are a major target in this market when they near graduation or just ended their studies. when they have to go to work somewhere based on their compatibilities, and those who need resumes to start internships. Graduate students are the major assets of this business.
- beyond this, you can also target mid and upper-level management and professional people as well as suddenly single moms.
- Target the college, school, office market by placing fliers, posters on the notice boards or by mailing brochures to lists you can easily get online.
- Introduce yourself to the staffs at a local business, unemployment offices and other facilities.
- You can Post fliers on public library bulletin boards and at copy centres from where you can easily gain potential clients.
- Give seminars and workshops because it can always have a good source of clients. and you can also place ads in the local newspapers.
- Low startup costs.
- You can run your business part-time or full-time.
- No formal training is necessary.
- Through email, messaging and VoIP or video-calls, you can easily run your business anywhere in the world.
- you meet lots of interesting people in all avenues of life, and you get the satisfaction of helping people better themselves and their lives.
- In a bad economy, when people need your services, often they can't afford them.
- It might be difficult to maintain a steady flow of clients.
- Resume writing is not as artistically satisfying as other writing pursuits.
- There's lots of competition.
- While you don't need specific training or certification, a background in HR or recruiting, and/or certification can increase your marketability and allow you to charge more.
Resume writing fees for a work at home business often range between $100 and $1,100. This range has to do with the types of clients and their needs. For example, an entry-level resume would be on the lower end, around $ 100 But an executive resume, or one in a specific field such as technology, will cost more. Part of this has to do with the amount of information going on a resume. A college grad has a shorter resume than an executive looking to change jobs.
You'll need a solid knowledge of what makes a good resume in terms of both format and content. It must be creative enough to stand out from the crowd.
In terms of starting a resume service specifically, you must have or know: –
- Writing skills. Lean, punchy and correct writing. Resumes are marketing tools, so the ability to "sell" the candidate is crucial.
- Good interviewing skills to assess your client's background, skills, experiences, and abilities
- Create your marketing tools including business cards, website, LinkedIn profile and other items you can use to attract your target market.
- A computer, good printer, and an Internet connection.
- knowledge of office software like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel etc.
- always keep in mind that The average time spent by recruiters looking at a resume: 5 to 7 seconds. 76% of resumes are discarded for an unprofessional email address. Only 35% of applicants are actually qualified for the jobs they apply to so your writing skills must be accordingly.
- You must have excellent grammar, punctuation and spelling skills and tiptop people talents.
Resumes are often the first and last chance a job seeker has to make an impression on a potential employer so it must be one of the best.
We hope you liked our information. make sure to share this with your friends and families. And do like to motivate us!

In a age when drug addiction is capturing the attention of all walks of life, it's important to make note of wise decisions that could help in the difficult battle against addiction.
One of those wide decisions came this week, when the Ohio Supreme Court reversed its own ruling that had altered the way drug dealers are charged. In a December ruling, the state's high court installed what has been called a "purity test" for cocaine. It said prosecutors could charge drug dealers based only on the amount of "pure" cocaine they possessed.
In most cases, cocaine is mixed with other substances before it's sold.
On Monday, the court's reversal came on a 5-2 vote. According to The Associated Press, the Wood County Prosecutor's Office challenged the December ruling, saying it would have delayed or shortened sentences for suspects caught with cocaine. The delay stems from the fact most labs in Ohio aren't set up to test for drug purity. Before December, they never needed to perform those tests.
Monday's reversal showed immediately in Stark County, as an Alliance man was sentenced to six years in prison on charges that included aggravated possession of drugs and cocaine trafficking. Timiko J. Payton was found Dec. 5 with 131 grams of powder, according to Michael Bickis, an assistant Stark County prosecutor. Repository staff writer Ed Balint reported Tuesday that Payton's drugs were a blend of cocaine and fentanyl. Under the ruling in December, Payton would have been charged based only on the cocaine in that mix. After the high court's reversal, however, he was charged based on the total weight of the drugs.
It was difficult to understand the rationale behind the initial high court ruling. What's mixed with cocaine is presented to customers as the drug. And, in cases such as Payton's, what's mixed with the cocaine can be as harmful.
Stark County Prosecutor John Ferrero, in a Jan. 22 opinion piece published in The Canton Repository, laid out for readers why the December ruling was a bad deal for Ohio:
"It means that our office can only charge and convict cocaine offenders with the lightest felony cocaine offenses. ... Consequently, many offenders who would have been facing as many as 11 years in prison for a single offense, will now suddenly find themselves only facing a maximum of 12 months in prison with a presumption in favor of probation."
Ferrero found that unreasonable, and, fortunately for Ohioans, the state Supreme Court re-evaluated its view and reversed its previous ruling.
Writing the majority opinion, Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor said the fillers are part of the usable drug and the total weight of the substance should determine the penalty under state law.
"Concluding otherwise would require us to insert the words 'actual' or 'pure' to describe the cocaine that is intended to be penalized by the statute. If the General Assembly had been concerned about purity, rather than total weight, it would have said so," O'Connor wrote.
While most Ohioans' attention to drugs relates to the heroin problem that plagues much of the nation, it's important to understand that serious trafficking of other drugs continues in Ohio. While health and law enforcement officials acknowledge it's not possible to arrest our way out of the cycle of addiction, prosecution of traffickers plays a vital role in helping to limit the supplies available on our streets.
Thanks to the Ohio Supreme Court's ruling this week, our legal officials again possess that tool in their arsenal.

CrossFit is for everyone, regardless of age or ability.
I was first attracted to CrossFit in 2012 when my second daughter was 1 yr old. As a mom of two small children, I was struggling to make time in my day to take care of my own health, and CrossFit offered me a chance to have a structured hour long class (where I could walk in, do the work, walk out), get the most out of my workout time, and be back home taking care of my children before they were even out of bed each morning. I was no stranger to fitness, as I was a high school and collegiate basketball athlete in my younger years. But because of CrossFit, I can easily say I am at my best level of fitness at age 40. CrossFit has been one of the best and most positive decisions I've made for myself, and it has become a passion of mine to increase my ability within this sport, and to help others pursue and achieve their personal fitness goals as well.
I grew up on a ranch outside of Belt, Montana and am fortunate to have lots of amazing family in the Great Falls area. I also spent many years living in Colorado, and it was in college there when I became fascinated with human performance and movement. In the allied health profession of Athletic Training, I've been blessed with many unique and incredible opportunities which include working as Medical Staff for the ESPN X Games (both national and international events), the ESPN Great Outdoor Games, and a staff Athletic Trainer for the Montana State University Bobcats. I am now honored to have my own business, True North Athletic Therapy, located inside RPP Fitness. It's a perfect marriage between my two passions of treating orthopedic injuries, improving human movement and CrossFit.

report contains information on automotive vehicle production in Russia, particularly passenger cars and commercial vehicles
Ford Mondeo sedan has received a technological upgrade aimed at the safety improving of the car and improving of the intelligent driver assistance systems. People can order updated Ford Mondeo at all official Ford dealers in Russia.05 julymore info
According to the analytic agency AUTOSTAT, for the first 9 months of this year, the volume of the secondary car market in Russia has practically reached 4 million units.
The specialists of the analytic agency "AUTOSTAT" conducted a regular price study for all brands, models and modifications of passenger cars in the Russian market. As the result it was made a rating of 250 models at a weighted average price, taking into account sales for 5 months of 2019 and prices for each modification.
Today we present you the TOP-10 of the most affordable cars.
In the first place there is the leader of the Russian car market LADA Granta with an average price of 522.9 thousand rubles and sales of 52,373 units. In the second place there is the Datsun on-DO sedan, the average price of which is 529.9 thousand rubles. In the ranking of sales, it occupies the 28th position (7,598 units).
LADA 4x4 holds the third place by price - 563.8 thousand rubles (sales were 12,773 units, 13th position). In the fourth place, Datsun mi-DO is located with a price of 617.7 thousand rubles, however, the volume of its sales for 5 months of 2019 (1179 units) provides the Japanese-Togliatti hatchback with only 77th place in the sales rating.
The fifth and sixth positions among the most affordable cars in the Russian market went to two Renault models - Sandero hatchback (690.1 thousand rubles) and Logan sedan (699.1 thousand rubles). Their positions in the sales ranking for 5 months of 2019 is the 51st and 24th, respectively. But Togliatti estate car LADA Largus took the seventh place as in the rating by price (704 thousand rubles), so by sales volume (16,281 units).
The TOP-10 of the price rating also included Lifan Solano (706.8 thousand rubles), Lifan X50 (737.5 thousand rubles) and UAZ "Hunter" (746.8 thousand rubles). Unfortunately, the low sales volumes of these three models (505, 325, 431 units, respectively) do not allow them to enter even the TOP-100 of the Russian market.

dB Meter
Simple, straight forward, easy to use. This app does a good job for establishing basic information in many common environments. The instructions are brief but thorough, concise and helpful. Using the app becomes very intuitive after the first or second use. Easily worth $2.
One earlier review mentioned that there didn't appear to be a way to reset previous measurements. I found that if you close the app (returning to the home screen), double click the home button (showing the recently opened apps), then "swipe" the dB app out of the order resets it.
One of the available option settings is db A and db C. There is virtually no explanation in the app for the difference other than offering a few examples. But what confuses me after Googling the terms is that some db A-based adjustments rely on information about the neighborhood in which the readings are being taken. As explained by engineers, there are seven kinds of neighborhood upon which db levels are adjusted, and the adjustment range varies from 0 adjustment to a +25 db adjustment. Yet the app doesn't ask you which of the seven standard environments most closely approximates the conditions in which you're using the app. Without that info, your reading can be off by as much as 25 db. That's a lot. If the app just picks one of those environments for every db A reading, which one does it pick? My point is that it doesn't seem possible for this app to detect the appropriate environment given how descriptive these environmental conditions are, and it doesn't seem possible to provide an accurate db reading (i.e. one without a +/- 25 db accuracy range) without the ability to input this info. To the extent that the developer has an explanation for how the app manages to compensate, id love to hear how.
Extremely helpful
I have modest hearing loss with which I have addressed with hearing aids. However, during my "getting used to it phase" I had some challenges listening to music or watching television and keeping a balance with others in the room. This app has been of great assistance in helping me discover common ground without driving everyone nuts!

The Kavanaugh court will be the one conservatives have worked for decades to construct, experts say, with velocity the only question about the Supreme Court's advance to the right.
Expect re-energized efforts from social and religious conservatives to get their issues — gun control challenges, religious objections to gay rights — before a court where like-minded justices will make up the majority.
On the other hand, the proliferation of lawsuits from blue-state officials objecting to President Trump's efforts to loosen environmental standards and impose tougher sanctions on immigration could fizzle.
Gone will be what one law professor called the "mushy middles" of Supreme Courts past, when justices such as Lewis F. Powell Jr., Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony M. Kennedy held the key votes and sometimes abandoned their usual conservative colleagues to side with the left.

What's in a name?…Horseferry Road…
April 23, 2018
There's no prizes for guessing that this Westminster road, which runs from Greycoat Place to Millbank and Lambeth Bridge, in pre-bridge days led down to a horse ferry across the Thames.
The ferry was, in fact, the only licensed horse ferry along the river and did quite a trade in conveying horses and their riders as well as carriages across the river. Mentions of the ferry date back to medieval times but it's suggested there may have been a ford here back as far as the Roman era.
The income from the ferry went to the Archbishop of Canterbury (his official London residence lay across the river at Lambeth). So lucrative were the ferry rights that when Westminster Bridge was built in the mid 18th-century, the archbishop was paid £3,000 in compensation.
There are a number of famous figures associated with the ferry – Princess Augusta, later the mother of King George III, reportedly used it on the way to her wedding in 1736, and almost 50 years before that, the ferry pier is said to have been the starting point for King James II's flight from England in 1689.
There are also a couple of high profile disasters associated with the horse ferry – Archbishop Laud's belongings apparently sank to the bottom when the ferry overturned in 1633 and Oliver Cromwell's coach was apparently lost during a similar incident in 1656 – both events were apparently seen as bad omens (not to mention expensive).
Horseferry Road, meanwhile, is these days home to government buildings including Horseferry House and the City of Westminster Magistrate's Court, as well as the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and, since the mid 1990s, Channel 4's HQ.
Horseferry Road was also the location of the Australian Imperial Force's administrative HQ during World War I and it was in this thoroughfare that Phyllis Pearsall was living when she conceived the London A to Z.
PICTURE: Top – Lambeth Bridge, site of the horse ferry which gives Horseferry Road its name/Right – Horseferry Road (Tagishsimon, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0)
The London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lambeth Palace was first acquired by the archbishopric in around the year 1200 with Archbishop Stephen Langdon – an important figure in the whole Magna Carta saga – believed to be the first to have lived there.
The complex built in the early 13th century included a chapel, a great hall, a 'great chamber' where the archbishop would receive guests, and private apartments for Archbishop Langdon, who was appointed to the archbishopric in 1207 and remained in the post until his death in 1228 (his appointment was a major point of contention between King John and Pope Innocent III and a key factor in the dispute which led to the creation of the Magna Carta).
Not much remains of the original palace but the sections that do include the originally free-standing Langdon's Chapel (although now much altered and connected to the rest of the complex) and the crypt beneath it (described as one of the best preserved medieval stone vaults in London it is now a chapel but was originally used for the storage of wine and beer).
They are both believed to have been completed in about 1220 with the other buildings now present added later over the centuries.
These include the formidable red brick gatehouse that fronts the complex today – known as Morton's Tower, it is named after Archbishop Cardinal John Morton and dates from 1490 – while the Guard Room, which has its origins in the archbishop's 'great chamber', dates from the 14th century and the infamous Lollard's Tower – used as a prison in the 17th century – from the 15th century.
The Great Hall – now used as a library, first established in 1610 – was rebuilt in the mid 17th century although it is believed to stand on the site of that first used by Langdon (we'll deal more with the later history of Lambeth Palace in a later post).

What's in a name?…Lambeth…
February 24, 2015
The origins of the Thames-side district Lambeth's name are not as obscure as it might at first seem.
First recorded in the 11th century, the second part of the name – which apparently is related to/a derivative of the word 'hithe' or 'hythe' – means a riverside landing place while the first part of the name is exactly what it seems – 'lamb'. Hence, Lambeth was a riverside landing or shipping place for lambs and cattle.
There has apparently been a suggestion in the past that the word 'lamb' actually derived from an Old English word meaning muddy place, hence the meaning was 'muddy landing place'. That theory, however, is now generally discounted.
Lambeth these days is still somewhat in the shadow of the much more famous Westminster river bank opposite but among its attractions is the Imperial War Museum (located in the former Bethlem Hospital, see our earlier post here), Lambeth Palace (pictured above) – London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and, of course, the promenade of Albert Embankment (sitting opposite Victoria Embankment).
The headquarters of MI6 is also located here in a 1994 building designed by Terry Farrell (among its claims to fame is its appearance in the opening scenes of the James Bond film, The World Is Not Enough).
Lambeth – the name is also that of the borough in which the district is located – was formerly home to the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens which closed in the mid 19th century (see our earlier post here).
Around London – 'Wild London'; National Trust photography contest; JK Rowling gets Freedom; and, Royal Devotion at Lambeth…

One of the three Trust founder, Octavia Hill was a leading environmental campaigner in the Victorian Age and campaigned to save places in and around London like Parliament Hill. Entries in the competition, which aims to capture images of everyday green spaces, could include pictures from the local park or countryside. For details on how to enter, follow this link…
• The author of the Harry Potter books, JK Rowling, received the Freedom of the City of London this week. The books have sold an estimated 450 million copies worldwide and have been made into films. The Freedom ceremony took place at Mansion House, the official residence of the Lord Mayor of London. Speaking before the ceremony on Tuesday, Rowling was quoted as saying that both her parents were Londoners. "They met on a train departing from King's Cross Station in 1964, and while neither of them ever lived in London again, both their daughters headed straight for the capital the moment that they were independent. To me, London is packed with personal memories, but it has never lost the aura of excitement and mystery that it had during trips to see family as a child. I am prouder than I can say to be given the Freedom of the City, which, on top of all the known benefits (and few people realize this), entitles me to a free pint in The Leaky Cauldron and a ten Galleon voucher to spend in Diagon Alley."

September 15, 2011
• It's Open House London weekend again and there's scores of properties across the city which will be opening their doors to allow the curious a rare glimpse inside. The properties which will be open include architect's homes and cutting edge housing as well as historic city landmarks, landscape projects and government buildings (including the Foreign Office & India Office – pictured). Other highlights of this year's event – conducted under the theme of 'The Liveable City' – include a night hike, a festival aimed at kids and families, talks, walks and cycle tours and competitions. Among the buildings flinging their doors wide are Lambeth Palace, home of the Archbishop of Canterbury, livery company halls, the newly reopened St Pancras Renaissance Hotel and the Bevis Marks Synagogue in the City. Most properties can simply be visited on a first come, first in basis but some do require advance booking so check before you go. Open House London was first started 19 years ago and has since spread to many other cities around the world including New York, Jerusalem and Helsinki. For more information and to purchase an online guide, see www.londonopenhouse.org. PICTURE: (c) Nick Woodford.
• King Edward I's Magna Carta will go on show at the Guildhall Art Gallery in the City this weekend, presenting a rare opportunity to see this pivotal document. The City of London Corporations 1297 Magna Carta – regarded as one of the finest 13th century copies – will be on display in the Roman Amphitheatre during Open House London. The document features King Edward I's seal and the original writ to the Sheriffs of London ordered that the charter be promulgated within the City. Admission over the weekend is free. For more see, www.guildhallartgallery.cityoflondon.gov.uk/gag/
• The Museum of London has launched an online collection of early Twentieth century fashion photographs to coincide with London Fashion Week. The more than 3,000 glass negative plates come from the collection of Bassano Limited, founded by Italian-born Alexander B. Bassano, and were taken between 1912 and 1945. They record a wide range of fashions as well as designers and retailers and can be accessed via the Museum's Collections online web portal. Meanwhile, the museum is hosting it's first ever professional catwalk show on Friday night. It features the works of Christopher Raeburn. For more, see www.museumoflondon.org.uk.
• A Henry Moore sculpture, Large Standing Figure: Knife Edge, has been returned to Greenwich Park, more than four years after it was removed. The almost five metres tall sculpture, made by Moore in 1976, was originally placed in the park in 1979 but was removed for conservation in early 2007 before joining a Moore exhibition at Kew Gardens and then forming part of the Henry Moore display at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. The bronze, on loan from The Henry Moore Foundation for two years, has now been returned to its original location between The Avenue and Croom's Hill Gate.
What's in a name?…Whitehall
December 6, 2010
Running southward from Trafalgar Square towards the Houses of Parliament (the southern part of Whitehall is actually known as Parliament Street), Whitehall is lined with government buildings – everything from the Foreign Office to the Cabinet Office, from the Scotland and Wales Offices to the Ministry of Defence – and has become so identified with government that its very name is now used to mean just that. But where does the name come from?
Whitehall takes its name from the Palace of Whitehall which once stood on the site of the current street. The palace's origins go back to the 14th century when a grand house known as York Place was built as the London residence of the Archbishops of York.
The building was gradually expanded over the years – work which continued when Thomas Wolsey was made Archbishop of York in 1513. When Cardinal Wolsey fell from favour in the late 1520s, however, King Henry VIII seized the house along with his other assests.
With the royal Palace of Westminster badly damaged in a fire in 1512, King Henry VIII had been staying at Lambeth Palace. He saw the newly acquired palace, renamed Whitehall, as a suitable new home and continued expansion works, constructing a series of recreationally-oriented buildings on the west side of what is now Whitehall including tennis courts, a cockfighting pit and a tiltyard for tournaments. By the time of Henry VIII's death in 1547, the palace covered 23 acres and was the largest in Europe.
The palace continued to be used by subsequent monarchs until much of it was destroyed by fire in 1698. These days the only surviving part of the palace is the Banqueting House. Built by Inigo Jones for King James I, it was from a window on the first floor of this 1622 building that King Charles I stepped onto a scaffold where his head was cut off.
Apart from the Banqueting House, other significant sites in Whitehall including the Cenotaph, the focus of Remembrance Sunday commemorations. Downing Street, meanwhile, runs off the south-eastern end of Whitehall and behind gates which have blocked it off since 1989, stands the Prime Minister's official residence.
Around London…
July 2, 2010
• The British Military Tournament takes up where the Royal Tournament left off. The abolition of Royal Tournament in 1999 ended almost 120 years of tradition and left a significant gap in London's annual events calender. No longer.

Presented by ABF The Soldier's Charity, the spectacle will feature 500 troops, 145 horses, massed bands and the "field gun run" among other things. Tickets start at £29 for adults/£22 for children. www.britishmilitarytournament.com.
• A rare sketch of pre-1666 St Paul's is to be auctioned.

It's been seven years. Seven very long years since I've seen my sister. Eight years for my nieces, and well, a couple of months since my brother-in-law. But dude. Seven years. Its just crazy to think about, right? So I don't. I instead just focus on when I'm going to see her again. (Which is what I'm currently doing actually!) One would think the time and distance may put a hindrance on our relationship- but it never has. Like, ever. And there's something to be said about that. Those invisible bonds that have been woven in years gone by. She and her fam also just happen to be super awesome people, which I suppose makes it stupid-easy to miss them. But honest to goodness, there is something about family.
And it's something that kids especially can just pick up on. No need to explain it, they just know when they're with family. Like they can smell it. I'm sure of it. Like, never mind the fact that I've never met you before, I am at ease with you. That sense of belonging is truly undeniable and is actually pretty much palpable when we're together. Just ask the waitress who was brought to tears whilst waiting on us one night. Kid you not! (More on that later.)
So needless to say, this trip was bound to be epic – no matter what was on our itinerary, because firstly, it would the very first time that I ever travelled with my mom since our last family trip to Canada, when I was but a little babe – dude, props to my mom and dad, they did that trip with SIX kids in tow. SIX. And they apparently breezed through it all. Props, I tell you. Massive, gold-lined props.
Secondly, its epicness would also be owed to the fact that this would be the first time that my sister would ever meet our children. Let that just sink in a bit. First time, ever. Also the first time her two girls would meet my two girls.
Getting to that point of boarding the plane of epicness however, was pretty epic too, but in a far less "it's awesome" way. Because, as you may have read, we spent the week before in hospital with Parker-Grace and her sucker punch case of pneumonia. Which, just for dramatic effect, ended with her picking up sister's hand foot and mouth disease too. Anyhoo, there's us, wondering if we'd ever leave the country given that our priorities layed with the children's health. So we said our prayers, sorted out our tickets two days before flight – yes, just two days before, cause that's our style – and went in for yet another doctor's opinion. You know, 'cause we didn't bleed enough money yet, and also need to just be sure about our girl's health on the flight. And also to get my very-well meaning mom to stop making me like the worst mom ever for wanting to take my kids on a flight after just being discharged from hospital. (As if I hadn't already thought things through, applied myself fully to the situation and done all I possibly could have. But mothers never stop being mothers I suppose, and I know she does it all with love.)
Needless to say we were given the greenest light ever from doctor and were sent off with a proper, "drop your worries and go enjoy" from the doc. And so we did, except we were as tired all blue blazers! Some were suggesting that we wait for a later time when we were better rested, but there's only so much time in this world that we have. And based on recent history, we've been exhausted pretty much all year, if not longer…and seemingly exceedingly worse as the year progresses. So we pushed on, nothing was going to stop us from this vacation. We needed it.
In fact, I don't know about you, but when I fly off to far off places that is the only time that not a single care is carried in my bones. And up until that point, my bone's carrying capacity was saturated! Like if there were any more cares then these bones were going to snap. So care-free bones is what it was. It's what my soul craved for, and what my gut felt strongly about – so I wanted to leave 'yesterday' already!
By pure serendipity, we found the most awesome travel agent about three days before flew, who did all our bookings and confirmations once we gave him the go. (Things that I would have done myself, but those bones, remember? So I gladly handed over the logistics-reigns to him and never looked back.)
Boarding that plane was where our holiday truly began. I mean sure we often come flying through those airport doors tripping over odds and ends that are straggling out of our bags, making a poor attempt at a mad dash as we try to drag our short-legged kids along. Mike even joked, huffing and puffing as we made it into the queue, "This is so Griswold-esque." I looked at him, half giggling, because he's always made fun of me saying that I am the real life Clark Griswold come Christmas time…and then I realised this Griswold-ness may be infiltrating all our other holiday times too. Both funny and worrisome, I suppose. But let's go with funny mostly.
To give you an idea that it's not just in our heads, my friend asked me with a half confused half laughing expression, as she came to see me in the car on the way to the airport, "are you still getting dressed back here?" For the record, I wasn't, I just probably didn't look all pulled together that's all.) But crazy rushing, and some ill-fated luck at times, the travelling bit still really is part of the experience for me. And as I've discovered (and now completely confirmed) it's the same for Morgan-Lee. She gets the same kind of buzz I do from take-off (remember how I told she whooped and applauded after her first take off as a 1 and half year old? See here.). In fact she's now someone I have to fight for the window seat but also someone I'd gladly give it up for – just to see that look on her face again. (I find I'm more watching her reaction now, instead of the view in any case.)
The girls are pretty easy flyers, and I think we can count ourselves fortunate in that respect. No issues with ears, sleep pretty easily on the plane, and are game for any decent entertainment you provide.
Also, they find the endless on board movies an absolute treat. Even during long airport layovers, they entertain themselves….and apparently fellow passengers too! Danced for them, somehow smoothly involved them in their games ( "quick, hide me under your legs before my sister comes! Tell her I'm not here"), had some flight staff swinging with them on poles, rolling on the floor, and were even invited to come facetime with their friends. Before these seriously lovely people ran off for their next flight, the girls taught them our little goodbye ritual and made them do it before they ran off hollering back well wishes.
Ahh, I hope they never lose their innate ability to connect with others. It's a joy to watch.
But yeah, Mikey and I shouldn't complain about them as travellers – like shut us up if we ever were to. Not to say we didn't have our moments- especially on our trip back home. There was a particularly classic moment which will be forever filed away under the "my life just flashed before my eyes, but I can laugh at it now" kind of stories.
Yes, we laugh about it now, even if it's still a bit tainted with some wtf shudders..But nonetheless we laugh very heartily about these memories. Memories that certainly share space with some more graceful and awesome ones for sure!
I just constantly reminded myself to drink it all up, even with all the not so perfect moments that were bound to come when travelling with children for the crazy amount time we did.
Before we knew it, the 33 hour flight landed aand the rest of our adventure was about to unfold. Months of hemming and haa'ing, dramatic hurdle after dramatic hurdle, we finally made it…Houston, we have landed!!!
So after piling kiddies and luggage onto trollies at IAH (airport) we made the much anticipated walk through those sacred airport doors…Sacred? A bit dramatic you ask? But those doors signify the portal to many a long awaited reunion between loved ones…and our's was no different. So not overly dramatic at all, you see.
I remembered to do a quick orientation-check with my girls as we walked to that portal to get them ready. And just before those doors opened I did the last bit of mental prep for girls, "here we Morgy and Parky, aunty Shona is right behind that door…Are you ready?!" And with Morgy's uncontrollable smile and nodding head, along with Pax's typical "shying away but I'm ready" body language, BOOM, the doors opened and there they were….family!!!!!
The happiness and relief to see them again came streaming in, just as it does every time we see each other. So with that familiar feeling I figured I could keep my emotions in check…which I did…until I got to my sister…Then it was like the switch was flipped and the flood gates opened…my eyes were leaking all over the place. Which was probably better that I left her for last, as the first time I came to visit them, I dove into her first up, and then proceeded to leak all over every subsequent person thereafter. Poor folks. Poor,poor, wet folks.
We made it. And we couldn't have been happier. Chatting already as if there never was this seven year pause of not seeing each other, as we all piled into the massive van. And jet lag? Not even a thought.(yet) It's just the effect these people have on us -all four of them. They make me happy with just their presence alone.
As for that sense of family? It's an odd and beautiful thing, one would think that there would be a lot more pomp and ceremony about my sister finally meeting our babies, right? And vice versa of our babies being faced with this new strange face(s). But it seems that when you're with family, none of that is required. It was all just so natural to see my sister wrap her love around my girls as if they had been doing it all the time. Even she echoed the very same sentiment to me after we arrived back home in S.A. – it was just a natural and normal to have them close by. And the kids? Well, I believe they felt it too, as was evident in the way they took over their home in five minutes flat! 🙂
More on Houston soon. X (See here.)

Tell us about yourself
Salam, my name is Taibat Omobolanle Lawal and I am happily married, Alhamdulillah. I presently live in Arlington, Texas, United States. I grew up in Northern part of Nigeria, Kano to be precise and my family moved to Lagos just as I was about to get into Lagos State University where I studied microbiology. While in LASU, I went to NIIT where I studied Oracle Database Administration and became an Oracle 9i Database Administration Professional. After my undergraduate degree, I got married to my wonderful husband and best friend Wasiu Adedapo Lawal and moved to the United States. Here I went to University of Houston Clearlake for my Masters in Biotechnology, which I completed in August 2011. During my Master\'s degree, I worked as an Infectious disease medical technologist and had to put my creativity on hold to pick it back up immediately after I completed the programme. All in all at the present, I am a medical technologist and a business owner – both full time!
When did you start Tee's Designs
Tee's designs started in 2009 as "Noblegas Apparel" – inspired by the chemistJ, born out of the need for a modest clothing line. This came about a year after I got a sewing machine as a surprise birthday gift and I had spent some time creating designs that were widely admired around me. But after several considerations and re-branding, the name was changed to Tee's designs in 2011.
Describe your business
"Tee\'s designs" is an online store that offers handmade jewellery and accessories for everyone. Our designs are unique and pretty innovative and are all made with Ankara - a 100% cotton fabric with unique patterns commonly worn in West Africa. In today\'s world, tribal collections appear to be making a leap into mainstream fashion and Tee\'s designs\' vision Insha Allah, is to become one of the top brands in tribal unique accessories for everyone. We take jewellery, accessories and home decorations to a new level of sophistication and yet provide an unparalleled selection of fashion and%20fun products at reasonable prices. All our products are carefully made to meet your expectations. With a variety of offerings to choose from, we are sure you will be happy with our products.
What brought about the name Tee's Designs
We started business as Noblegas Apparel and after so much consideration; we knew we needed to change the name. A dear friend calls me "Tee" and one day she said "na wa o! Tee na u do this one too…. this your design na helele" and that was where the idea came from. I toyed with it for a while and finally decided "Tee's designs" it will be because I did not want the name of the business to limit my imagination and creativity…..with Tee's designs; we can explore new grounds …..clothing, accessories, home decorations etc….anything that can be designed! What is the inspiration behind Tee's Designs
Everything%20around me is inspiration but my main inspiration comes from fabrics.When I wake up in the morning and realize that I\'m living my dream - it inspires me to continue to create. I am also inspired by people especially two fashion divas I have as siblings – Toyin and Feyi.
Most of my home decoration designs are tailored towards things I do in my home. I always like for everything to complement each other and match and yet be unique and different that you will not be able to find in stores anywhere.
Even though we are more into accessories right now, we would like to have an Islamic clothing line too in the nearest future.
What's your creative/design process like
First with any design out there, the thoughts and imaginations, I let them take me places. Then I come back to reality and sketch what I am imagining and try to figure out%20anything that might be of hindrances to the design. Next step will be to try it out – this usually is the longest phase because they are not always feasible, but I have fun trying to create them with comfort, in mind. Take earrings for example, you have to make them in such a way that they are not too heavy for the earrings and yet not too light that they will not stay.
How did you break into the Accessory market
<%2Fspan>Like I said before, we started as a modest ladies clothing line but even as a clothing line we had bags bangles and hijab pins as some of our products. As a full time Infectious disease medical technologist, time is something I do not have a lot of. Accessories are easier for me to pick up and design after a long day trying to figure out what is going on with hundreds of patients.
What drives your choice of Fabric and Accessories
%26nbsp;Uhm! My choice of fabric- there is a saying that "what you have you don't really appreciate". Living in the United States, people always complement your dressing, when you are dressed in Ankara – because it is different, elegant and unique! and I love my heritage. Once, someone asked my husband if she could get some of the fabric he was wearing so we gave her some tie and dye fabric. This woman had the fabric framed! It was just too beautiful she had to use it to decorate her office. So deciding on Ankara was somewhat easy for me, not only do people like it, it is 100% cotton and very flexible to use, it has loveor me, my first challenge was/is getting the capital required to start a business. As with any business, when you are just starting you will constantly need to pump funds into it because of course not every single item will sell all the time. Secondly, gaining the trust of customers – buying online from a small business is not something people generally do, because there are a lot of concerns – Will it look good on me? Is it made well? What if…? Which is why our products are also sold on etsy.com and we also attend juried fairs.
*Juried fairs are like small trade fairs where all products are inspected by the organizers to ensure that whatever is sold at their events are of top quality.
What is your personal goal/long term plans/vision
To become a successful woman with a loving and caring family by Allah\'s mercy.
Who is your role model/mentor in this line of business
To me business is business; you just have to channel your God given talent Masha Allah into it. I really do not have a role model in the fashion industry, but as a business woman, my dear mother is my role model and mentor. I'd also like to give some credit to my tailor down in Ogba, Lagos as she was the one that taught me to sew in the first place. Without that, all of this might not have happened. But I do admire top fashion designers out there, like the likes of Tiffany Amber, Rabia Z of Rabia Designs, Duro Olowu, and many more.
How do you combine the home front with work
As a medical technologist, I try to leave work at work. And as a designer and a business owner, I try as much as I can to balance things but yet sometimes it can be hard especially when a show/craft sale is coming up or when I am designing a new collection. A very understanding, supporting and encouraging family helps a lot. Masha Allah, I get help with acquiring new customers and business ideas from my husband who is also currently a Ph. D student.

MIAMI — AirAsia X CEO, Tony Fernandes, said on Monday that his airline has no plans to buy Airbus A350 aircraft, even though they still have ten planes remaining in order.
"The A350 is not an aircraft we will buy," said Fernandes in a Facebook Live chat from London. The CEO also said the airliner is "too expensive. Fares would go up."
Air Asia X placed an order for ten A350-900 in June 2009. The aircraft has a longer range but also comes with a higher list price of $317.4 million, compared with the $296.4 million of the A330-900neo.

With this statement, it remains a mystery whether AirAsia X will convert its A350 order to other Airbus airliners. As of today, the Asian LCC has three Airbus A330-300s and 66 A330-900neos on order.
AirAsia Group is one of Airbus' largest customers, but according to Reuters, AirAsia X has been in talks with Boeing for Dreamliners 787-10, expecting a final decision on airline's future fleet later this year.
However, this is not breaking news as Fernandes already told reporters on the sideline, in a business forum at Manila, that they are looking at the Boeing 787 Dreamliner for fleet expansion.

The Boeing 787-10 has a list price of $325.8 million, almost $9 million more than the Airbus A350-900. Air Asia X currently operates 22 A330-300 aircraft.

Will new water affect San Francisco's signature food and drinks?
Ancient aqueducts famously feed water into Rome's historic espresso bars. New York City's tap water makes its pizza and bagels uniquely delicious — or so the story goes. And to some, San Francisco's Hetch Hetchy water is sacred to making its sourdough bread, coffee and beer.
So with the city about to add groundwater to the pristine Hetch Hetchy mix, will these local specialties be forever tainted?
"It's an honor and a privilege to do business and dwell in an area that has such great water," said Nicholas Cho, co-owner of Wrecking Ball Coffee in San Francisco. "For the coffee people, or at least people really focused on quality, when the water changes, we know it. It's a little bit like the weather for us."
Cho is one of the food and drink industry folks who have been concerned about the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission plan to mix in a small percentage of groundwater, treated with chlorine for safety, to the existing water supply in 60 percent of the city next month. The initial change will be small and gradually increase over four years. While the pH level will stay the same, the added minerals will make the city's typically soft water harder, which can affect flavor in coffee and beer, and texture in bread and bagels.
Before anyone panics, it's important to know that the city's water already isn't as pure as a mountain stream. On average, 85 percent of our water comes from Hetch Hetchy and the surrounding lakes and reservoirs, which is soft due to the scrubbing it gets from flowing over Sierra granite; the other 15 percent comes from Bay Area reservoirs, which is harder. At the moment, the city isn't even getting Hetch Hetchy water while repairs are being made on a mountain tunnel. Instead, all of it is coming from Bay Area reservoirs, said Jeff Gilman, hydrogeologist and groundwater project manager at the city PUC.
Mineral content and hardness is often measured as total dissolved solids in the water. San Francisco water is usually in the soft range of 45 to 50 TDS, and when all the groundwater is added, the range will increase to 70 to 120 TDS. (At the moment it's at 120 or 125, Gilman says.)
In the coffee trade, higher TDS can change the flavor and can be hard, so to speak, on espresso machines and other equipment.
"We have always been aware of the effect water has on our coffee, and have done many tastings with different water over the years," said Kyle Waters, lead equipment technician at Ritual Coffee Roasters, which has a cafe in the Haight-Ashbury, one of the neighborhoods that will get the new groundwater. "The TDS and hardness levels are something I'll monitor closely as the program rolls out."
For the true coffee water nerd — a term that surely applies to Christopher Hendon, an MIT chemist and co-author of the textbook "Water for Coffee" — it's not just TDS, but specific mineral content that matters. The new water will have more calcium and magnesium, which can be beneficial, but also more bicarbonate, which can reduce acidity, a vital trait in coffee.
The San Francisco PUC said that normally, San Francisco's water has 30 to 40 parts per million bicarbonate. With the groundwater fully added in, it will be 50 to 60 parts per million. A trained coffee taster can notice a difference when bicarbonate changes by only 5 parts per million, Hendon said.
"I would conclude that people might notice an appreciable difference in their coffee based on this data," said Hendon. He joked, "It's doomsday for San Francisco!"
Brewers aren't feeling quite so apocalyptic.
"We seem to be spoiled with really nice brewing water," said Kim Sturdavant, brewmaster of Social Kitchen & Brewery in the Sunset, who attended a meeting between brewers and the utility commission in December to learn about the water changes. "If a brewery isn't using water filtration at the moment, now's the time to think about getting it, to sort of buffer any variances that might be occurring."
Depending on the style of beer, brewers often add minerals during beer making to balance the chemical composition or to mimic the beer's traditional water source.
"It's beneficial to have soft water for pilsner," Sturdavant said. "Hard water works really well for hoppier beer."
Hard water can be better for bakers, too — to a point. It can give dough structure, though too much can make it tough and limit fermentation. The new water's composition keeps it in a good range for baking, although too many fluctuations can cause challenges, especially when you consider that bread is up to one-third water.
"When you're a baker, you have so many kinds of forces in play, like humidity in the air and where you're getting your flour from, since flour has seasonality as well," said Amy Brown, who bakes several types of bread and bagels at Marla Bakery in the Richmond District, which will get the new groundwater. "It's one more component that we'll have to pay attention to."
Hendon of MIT notes that several food-centric cities identify strongly with their water, especially when it's soft, such as Melbourne, Australia, and Kyoto, Japan, as well as New York.
"San Francisco's water is not particularly special," Hendon said. "Everyone likes to think their water is special."

Gaetano Pesce's Dujardin Presented by LAFFANOUR–Galerie Downtown
In 1994, the talented italian designer Gaetano Pesce is commissioned to create the architecture and the interior for Dujardin children store on the Belgian coastline Knokke-Le-Zout. This opportunity allowed Pesce once again to combine utility with joyness, Art and Design, aesthetics with functionality.
In the heart of Deauville of the North, the architect offers us the essence of his artistic research with a succession of colors, lines, shapes and materials perfectly representative of his work, his sense of humor, his style and innovative ideas.
This playful, rich and colorful architecture retains its usefulness, but is armed with a new function. It is no longer just about designing industrialized forms, for Gaetano Pesce design becomes the real support for an artistic, political or social discourse.
Always eager to shake up the codes and common ideas, Pesce continues to surprise us almost 24 years after the creation of Dujardin store.
Galerie Downtown-François Laffanour is delighted to make you discover for the first time his interior architecture for Dujardin Store during Design/Miami, Basel.
