Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Eruptie in asteptare


Acum aveti o sansa ce apar o data in viata de a lua parte la un moment istoric: eruptia vulcanului Kilauea din Hawai. Eruptia unui vulcan de-a lungul duratei unei vieti omenesti e foarte rara si efectele sale vor influenta in mod cert planeta prin crearea de munti sau alte forme de relief asemanatoare. In istoria hawaiana lava provenita de la vulcani creeaza lacuri si conuri sau hraneste curgeri de radiatii. Kilauea este unul din cele cinci vulcane care formeaza insula Hawai si numele sau ( scuipatorul sau multa imprastiala in hawaiana) provine de la faptul ca este cel mai active Vulcan din ultimii 25 de ani, cu peste 9,000 de vizitatori pe zi la craterul Halemaumau unde pot vedea cenusa si dioxidul de sulf ridicandu-se, bile de lava care au erupt mai violent decat niciodata; doar in 1924 a avut loc ceva asemanator. Intre timp partea de sud-est a Big Island este visitata de 10,000 pe zi datorita imaginii spectaculare a lavei proaspete uniindu-se cu oceanul, astfel producand un imens nor de fum. Nu ar trebui sa fiti prea preocupati pentru ca autoritatile de la urgente sunt bine pregatiti pentru cazuri de evacuare daca vantul se schimba, imprastiind fumul in zone locuite cu o populatie de aproape 10,000. Pana in acest moment vantul a batut inspre sud-est. Totusi, ar trebui sa tineti cont de nivelul de dioxid de sulf care v-ar putea pune sanatatea in pericol. Datorita faptului ca fumul e batut de vant catre ocean, oamenii nu sunt inca pusi in pericol. Cei mai multi geologi spun ca nu e nici o cale de a afla cand va erupe si ca este cea mai intensa eruptie din ultimele decade. Aveti inca sansa sa-l vedeti intrucat parcul national si centrul de vizite sunt inca deschise.

Chris Cantell Discusses Web Sites, Traffic, Search Engines, Hitwise: SigEx Telecom: Raportul Hitwise
by Ana Maria Ciobanu

Website-urile retail isi obtin 25% din trafic prin motoarele de cautare, conform Hitwise(leaderul serviciilor de inteligenta competitiva online). Si cu cat mai multa informatie ofera retailerii internetului, cu atat mai mult clientii isi vor face cumparaturile la magazinele lor si se vor intoarce la site-urile lor.Motoarele de cautare si-au intensificat rolul lor de a trimite vizitatori la site-urile de shopping cu 0.7 % din mai 2006 pana in mai 2007 si Google a trimis cel mai mult trafic, conform raportului Hitwise emis saptamana aceasta.Un alt sondaj a anuntat saptamana aceasta ca exista toate sansele pentru cumparatori de a cumpara din magazinele traditionale si a se intoarce la site-ul retailerilor care ofera informatii complete despre produs.Cautarile de un singur cuvant, incluisv cautarile de domeniu si URL au reperezentat 23.7% din termenii de cautare care trimit traficul catre site-urile specializate de shoppping.O crestere de 20 de procente a cautarilor de un singur cuvant incepand cu mai 2005, sustine cresterea utilizarilor toolbar-urilor- ca mijloc principal de facilitare a navigarii pe World Wide Web.Site-urile de tip retea sociala determina de asemenea un procentaj mic al vizitelor pe site-urile de shopping specializate. Conform Hitwise primele 20 de retele sociale online si-au crescut influenta asupra site-urilor de retail cu 86.7% din mai 2006 pana in mai 2007. Deloc surpinzator, MySpace cea mai populara retea sociala, a fost raspunzator pentru aproape intregul procentaj. Bill Tancer, general manager de cercetare globala la Hitwsie, a prezentat aceste noi trenduri in searching si altele la conferinta Internet Retailer 2007 din San Jose, saptamana aceasta.Hitwise General Manager of Global Research Bill Tancer presented those search trends and others at the 2007 Internet Retailer conference in San Jose this week.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Jeden svet, jeden sen Zuzana Valkova


Toto je slogan 29. Olympijskych hier 2008. Tento rok je organizujucou krajinou Cina, konkretne cinske mesto Peking. Cinania sa uz nevedia dockat Augusta, kedy to vsetko zacne. Hry budu trvat 16 dni, od 8. augusta do 24. augusta.V Pekingu su uz takmer hotovi so vsetkymi pripravami. Na tento ucel uz vybudovali vela ihrisk a stadionov. Iba v Pekingu ich je 31. Jedna z najznamejsich stavieb je Pekingsky narodny stadion. Som si ista, ze uz ste o nom poculi. Je to obrovsky stadion, ktory z vonku vyzera ako vtacie hniezdo. Je postaveny zo specialnej konstrukcie, preto ho stavali 4 roky. Ma tiez velku kapacitu navstevnikov, okolo 80000 sedadiel. Prave tu sa bude konat otvaraci a zaverecny ceremonial. Po otvaracom ceremoniali sa tu budu konat futbalove zapasy a atleticke preteky. Po hrach planuju stadion vyuzivat na sportove a kulturne ucely. Dalsia zaujimava budova, postavena kvoli hram je Watercube & plavecky stadion. Z vonku vyzera ako obrovska kocka plna bubliniek. Na povrchu budovy je material podobny teflonu, ktory jej umoznuje dychat. Po hrach ju chcu prestavat na kulturne, sportove a nakupne centrum.Peking ma uz aj maskotov & Fuwa. Fuwa v cinstine znamena babiky pre stastie. Kazda z nich predstavuje nieco ine. Su to: panda, ryba,Tibetska antilopa, ohen a lastovicka. Maju nieco spolocne s cinskymi elementami, ale skutocne iba nieco.Takze toto leto patri Cine. Dufam za budu mat vydarene hry a ukazu nam, za to nie je o vyhravani, ale o tom, aby ludia boli spolu a boli stastni.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Construction arêtée


De mauvaises nouvelles pour les fonctionnaires Yosemite qui pensaient à remodeler le Parc national Yosemite dans leur intérêt personnel : la cour de justice fédérale a remis toute la construction jusqu'à 2009. Ils ont investi plus de 100 millions de dollars dans ce projet de construction, mais jeudi tout s'est émietté. Vous vous souvenez probablement qu'en 1997 Merced a débordé et a détruit les terrains de camping et les routes. À la suite de quoi les fonctionnaires du parc ont projeté de déplacer des terrains de camping, reconstruire un nouveau trajet pour la route d'accès clé et les chambres d'hôtel à l'étage de Vallée Yosemite auraient été améliorées. Pourtant, un comité fait de trois juges du 9ème Tribunal du travail américain d'Appels a gouverné pour les réparations à être remises jusqu'au septembre de l'année prochaine, quand sera-t-il aussi libéré un plan pour protéger le Fleuve Merced qui serait affecté par le souffle planifié par les fonctionnaires de parc. Les amis de Vallée d'Yosemite et de Mariposans pour l'Environnement et le Gouvernement Responsable ont poursuivi le parc en justice en 2000 en soutenant que l'expansion commerciale mettrait les chênes noirs de Californie en danger, les wetlands délicates et les espèces de chauve-souris près du fleuve et de l'écosystème entier.À la différence du porte-parole de parc Scott Gediman qui a essayé de remuer des inquiétudes que le nombre de visiteurs sera réduit dans l'essai de protéger les ressources minérales d'Yosemite, Bridget Kerr, un membre d'Amis de Vallée d'Yosemite a dit qu'il n'assurera que l'approche plutôt que le refus. L'un des juges Kim Wardlaw a révélé que le projet a été rejeté en raison du fait que seulement après la dégradation de l'environnement ils ont pensé à l'action de quelque chose. Ce qui arrivera ensuite, vous découvrirez l'année prochaine. Ne partez pas, plus venir!

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Haut et énorme


Il semble que chacun a oublié le Thibet et les protestations qui ont entouré les Jeux Olympiques juste récemment. La nouvelle attraction principale est le chef d'oeuvre en acier appelé le Stade national des Jeux Olympiques de Pékin qui se lève 230 pieds de grand, a 91000 sièges et son coût était de 450 millions dollars. Mercredi on a permis à des journalistes de prendre un coup d'oeil à l'intérieur, ainsi nous donnant la chance d'imaginer quel est son look. Herzog et de Meuron ont collaboré avec l'ArupSport et le China Architecture Design & Research Group sur la conception d'architecture qui a gagné une compétition qui a été lancée par le gouvernement chinois. Comme l'Artistic Consultant Design, ils ont pris l'artiste chinois, AI Weiwei, qui a critiqué la construction depuis le début arguant du fait que par cela on compte distraire l'attention des problèmes réels que la Chine possède. Malgré le brouillard épais embrassant le stade comme le voile, vous pouvez voir la conception atypique des poutres en acier cordés enveloppant l'extérieur comme les brindilles argentées liant un nid. C'est de 330 mètres de longueur par 220 mètres de large et 62 mètres de hauteur. L'intérieur diffère de l'extérieur avec un toit couvert par le matériel qui gardera la pluie au loin et empêchera la lumière du soleil pour abîmer des images. Bien qu'il soit loin d'etre complet, les couleurs de l'interieur doivent être rouge, gris et noir. Les médias ont découvert une histoire au sujet des dangers auxquels les ouvriers sont exposés en travaillant à l'immense stade, mais les fonctionnaires ont nié qu'il y ait quelque chose vrai dans celui et que quoiqu'il y ait eu des accidents, il n'y étaient que 2 et non 10 comme les médias ont rapporté. Certes, maintenant nous pouvons tout dormir mieux pendant la nuit, sachant que 2 personnes mortes dans la tentative communiste d'avancer. Cependant, la construction continuera vendredi et samedi sans n'importe quelle ouverture fascinante qu'elle aura lieu le premier événement. Comme un géant raillant tous les protestataires pour des droites de l'homme et l'opposition entière rencontrée en raison de la pollution, le stade national soulève et affirme qu'il est inutile de se rebeller contre la décision d'attribuer les Jeux olympiques en Chine. Que peut-on dire de plus ?

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Rychlost a pohodlie


Ako rychlo je dost rychlo a ako dobre je dost dobre? Standardy nasich zivotov sa menia ovela rychlejsie ako pocas minuleho storocia. Technologie nam davaju priestor na tvorbu fantazi bez hranic a limitov. Stare sci-fi filmy uz nie su len napadmi. Technologie sa vyvijaju zavratnou rychlostou a produkty ponukaju vysoku kvalitu svojim klientom na dennej baze. Cestovanie je ovela ine ako bolo pred 50-timi rokmi. Vedci vytvorili uzasne sposoby ako sa ihned dostat do vasej cielovej destinacie bez straty casu v trojdnovom exprese na zapadne pobrezie. Cesty su vystavane vo vysokej kvalite, kolajnice su rychlejsie a lietadla su schopne vziat vas kamkolvek chcete.Ako je to vsak s cestovanim na kratke vzdialenosti za pracou? Co v pripade, ze pracujeme v Parizi a byvame v Londyne? A co Brusel a diplomati EU? Je jednoduche spojit tieto vyznamne body Europy a cestovanie este sprijemnit? Problem je v tom, ze su trochu bizko seba na to, aby sme pouzivali lietadlo a trochu daleko na to, aby sme vyuzivali auto v medzinarodnych zapchach. Zda sa, ze riesenie by mohlo byt vo vlakovej deprave.Cesta z Bruselu do Pariza trva asi hodinu, z Pariza do Londyna asi dve a pol hodiny a z Londyna do Bruselu asi hodinu a patnast minut. Mnozstvo pasazierov na tychto linkach sa denne pohybuje v tisicoch. To je jeden z hlavnych dovodov preco Eurostar zacal celu vysoko-rychlostnu siet sluzieb medzi tymito popularnymi kozmopilitnymi mestami a svoju prepravu este zvysil. Nove pohodlne vlaky tak denne poskytuju lepsie sluzby pre vacsie mnozstvo ludi a efektivne sutazia s autami a lietadlami v ramci Europy. Zatial sa dokonca zdaju dost rychle.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Zboruri anulate


by Claudia Sonea

Administratia Federala a Aviatiei ramane ferma pe pozitii si va continua sa opereze controale de securitate a tuturor liniilor aeriene. Oficialitatile au afirmat ca le-au dat 18 luni in care sa faca aceste inspectii sin u au facut-o ceea ce a cauzat garba curenta. Totusi, pasagerii desi nu par fericfiti ca viata lor e pe primul plan si ar prefera sa ajunga la timp. Southwest Airlines sunt de vina pentru politica grea a FAA, deoarece a fost descoperit luna trecuta ca a permis zboruri fara sa opereze inspectiile de securitate. Nicholas Sabatini, un membru al FAA a trebuit sad ea explicatii Congresului pentru incident si a marturisit ca este responsabil ca si alti memebrii ai FAA dar si ai liniilor aeriene. Urmatorul la interogatoriu ar fi fost administratorul FAA Robert Sturgell, insa datorita faptului ca a fost numit de Bush, interogatoriul a fost amanat. Intre timp, FAA verifica dosarele liniilor aeriene si ii forteaza sa continue cu inspectiile de securitate ale avioanelor. Alaska Airlines, Delta Airlines si Midwest Airlines sunt doar cateva dintre cele care au creat o adevarata coada datorita zborurilor anulate ce au lasat 250,000 de pasageri in asteptare. New York, Chicago si Dallas au adaugat la inspectii si vremea proasta. In ciuda faptului ca e pentru propria protectis, calatorii nu sunt multumiti de situatia curenta, dar FAA poate fi mandra de recordul solid al securitatii din ultimul timp, cu ultimul accident avand loc in noimbrie 2001. FAA anunta tot odata si o inrautatire a relatiilor cu liniile aeriene deoarece va impune norme mai riguroase in ceea ce priveste politica eticii si a controalelor.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Zima nam klope na dvere
by Natalia Holvova


Cas uteka tak rychlo, ze sme si mozno ani nestacili uvedomit, ze uz je to rok od minulej, teplej zimy. Vianoce a novy rok prichadzaju o menej ako mesiac. Priroda sa pripravuje na dlhodobi spanok a oddych po roku, ked nam zem davala vsakovate produkty pre nase zivobytie. Tohtorocna uroda je uskladnena a my sa tesime na snehom pokryte stromy a snezenie pocas cesty domov z prace.Zima prichadza a lyziarska sezona ja tak isto tesne pred svojim zaciatkom. Milovnici lyzovania cakaju tak vela snehu ako je len mozne. Po minulorocnej teplej sezone cakame na tohtorocne prekvapenie. Den vdakyvzdania obycajne otvara sezonu v mnohych americkych lyziarskych strediskach. Niektori fanusikovia zimy mohli byt prave tento vikend stastni, pretoze mnoho miest dostalo skoru snehovu nadielku a tak otvorili aj niektore vleky. Naopak niektore velke centra zimnych ziskov v Colorade stale na svoje zimne podmienky len cakaju. Aj ked sa snazia sneh si umelo vyrobit, vonkajsia teplota sa velmi priatelska nezda. Tento cas roka je dokonca teplejsie ako to bolo minuly rok.Nech je to akokolvek, je tu uzasna nadej a vyborna predpoved pocasia, ktora hovori o vynimocnej sezone s kopou snehu na konci tohto a na zaciatku buduceho roka. Colorado je statom cislom jedna v snehovych aktivitach v celej krajine a ak aj toto suche pocasie prinesie slusne lyziarske podmienky, moze sa stat najlepsou lyziarskou destinaciou znova.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Co ste vyliali si zaplatite
by Barbora Kasparova


Ludia prispievaju k devastacii prirody mnohymi sposobmi. Su veci, ktore mozeme predvidat, (ako globalne oteplovanie, alebo narastajuce mnozstvo odpadu), ale existuju nehody, ktore nemozeme predvidat akymi su napriklad ropne havarie. A kedze priroda nemoze s nimi sama bojovat, ani nemoze zalovat vinnikov o nahradu skody, a ti, co su zodpovedni nie su ochotni na seba vinu vziat, su sposoby, akymi to ludia robia v jej mene. Nedavnym takymto pripadom je pripad ropnej havarie lode Cosco Busan na zaciatku novembra, ked spolocnost, ktora lod vlastni Regal Stone Ltd. Z Hong Kongu, poistovacia spolocnost a kapitan lode su americkou federalnou vladou zalovani (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/12/01/MN90TM5R4.DTL&hw=oil+spill&sn=006&sc=407).Aka je pravna stranka tohto pribehu, teda na zaklade coho vlada v tomto konkretnom pripade zaluje. Stale si pamatame neslavne znamy pripad Exxon Valdez z roku 1989. Odozvou na tuto katastroficku nehodu prijal americky Kongres Zakon o ropnom znecostovani (OPA 1990), ktory stanovuje pravny ramec pre vsetky procesy v tejto oblasti. V podstate zarucuje zodpovednost majitela, alebo operatora lode za naklady spojene s odtranenim a nahradu skody, inymi slovami, ktokolvek ma pocit, ze utrpel ujmu a bol nuteny vynalozit naklady kvoli ropnej havarii, moze zalovat zodpovednu spolocnost.(http://www.itopf.com/spill%2Dcompensation/national%2Dregimes/)

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Preco slavna pekinska opera straca fanusikov?
by Jana Kokavcova

Par rokov dozadu bola opera nieco celkom ine, nez je dnes. Bola popularnym zanrom medzi vsetkymi ludmi, ale len niektori, ktori dost zarabali a ti, ktori sa ocitli v slavnom svetle vyssej triedy si mohli dovolit byt obecenstvom. Opera znie ako cosi prilis snobske a nobl, nieco nie celkom obycajne, nieco viac...Ale je to naozaj tak? Opera nie je pre kazdeho, ale kazdy by mal vediet cosi o nej. Ano, je ozaj lahsie pozerat sa na televizor, ist do kina na zaujimavy film alebo zabavnu komediu, ale myslim si, je dolezite vediet aspon nieco malo aj o opere.Mozno je pekinska opera nieco celkom ine. Pekinska opera je tradicne cinske divadlo, ktore kombinuje hudbu, spev, mimicke prvky a akrobaticke prvky do jedneho diela. Tento druh umenia bol popularny hlavne v 19. storoci a hlavne v dynastii Qing. Pekinsku operu mozeme zeradit k jednemu z bohatstiev Ciny. Nielen Cinania vedia o jej krasach. Opera je rozsirena aj do inych casti sveta. Dnes je to Japonsko, USA a Tajvan.Vela ludi obdivuje toto tradicne cinske divadlo, pretoze do ich zivotov vnasa nieco celkom nove, nieco pozitivne. Ale je tu jeden problem. Mlada generacie nie je prave nadsena tymto druhom umenia. Preco je to tak? Pre tie iste dovody pre ake je nezaujem o naozajstnu operu jasny. Predsudky. Opera je tazka na pochopenie, je nudna, nie velmi zabavna... Mozno nova budova divadla prilaka viac divakov.Pekinska opera moze priniest kopu zabavy a kostymi v nej pouzite su uzasne. Toto je fakt dobry dovod na to, aby ste sa aj vy rozhodli navstivit jedno predstavenie. Mozno sa vam to az tak zapaci, za sa ucast na Pekinskej opere stane pre vas kazdonedelnym konickom.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Rychlost a pohodlie


Ako rychlo je dost rychlo a ako dobre je dost dobre? Standardy nasich zivotov sa menia ovela rychlejsie ako pocas minuleho storocia. Technologie nam davaju priestor na tvorbu fantazi bez hranic a limitov. Stare sci-fi filmy uz nie su len napadmi. Technologie sa vyvijaju zavratnou rychlostou a produkty ponukaju vysoku kvalitu svojim klientom na dennej baze. Cestovanie je ovela ine ako bolo pred 50-timi rokmi. Vedci vytvorili uzasne sposoby ako sa ihned dostat do vasej cielovej destinacie bez straty casu v trojdnovom exprese na zapadne pobrezie. Cesty su vystavane vo vysokej kvalite, kolajnice su rychlejsie a lietadla su schopne vziat vas kamkolvek chcete.Ako je to vsak s cestovanim na kratke vzdialenosti za pracou? Co v pripade, ze pracujeme v Parizi a byvame v Londyne? A co Brusel a diplomati EU? Je jednoduche spojit tieto vyznamne body Europy a cestovanie este sprijemnit? Problem je v tom, ze su trochu bizko seba na to, aby sme pouzivali lietadlo a trochu daleko na to, aby sme vyuzivali auto v medzinarodnych zapchach. Zda sa, ze riesenie by mohlo byt vo vlakovej deprave.Cesta z Bruselu do Pariza trva asi hodinu, z Pariza do Londyna asi dve a pol hodiny a z Londyna do Bruselu asi hodinu a patnast minut. Mnozstvo pasazierov na tychto linkach sa denne pohybuje v tisicoch. To je jeden z hlavnych dovodov preco Eurostar zacal celu vysoko-rychlostnu siet sluzieb medzi tymito popularnymi kozmopilitnymi mestami a svoju prepravu este zvysil. Nove pohodlne vlaky tak denne poskytuju lepsie sluzby pre vacsie mnozstvo ludi a efektivne sutazia s autami a lietadlami v ramci Europy. Zatial sa dokonca zdaju dost rychle.

Computer glitch fixed at LAX
by Notme dfsfs


A customs computer glitch occurred in the system causing numerous delays and almost 20.000 international passengers to be stranded for several hours at the Lost Angeles International Airport.The system contained information about criminals and it was used to screen passengers that enter the country and it went down at 2 PM Saturday and lasted for 10 hours but only at 4 PM Sunday official succeeded in processing the backlog of incoming passengers.U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Mike Fleming said "a computer switch failed, which knocked down the entire communications system. A backup system was in place, but it was accessible only to customs officers in some of the lanes where passengers were being processed, creating huge bottlenecks."Although the passengers were stranded in the planes for hours, they had access to food, water and bathrooms.Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa contacted Homeland Security to request an investigation and incident reports that will provide information about changes to procedures and protocols to ensure faster and more convenient processing of passengers in the event of future systems failures.Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said that the failure happened because of a malfunction on the fibre optic cables that support the system used to process international passengers.

Feds fine Travelocity.com for Cuba trips
by Notme dfsfs


Travelocity.com was fined by the federal regulators for booking trips between U.S. and Cuba after they violated a 45 years old embargo. It's a first time when an online travel agency is fined by the feds.They paid earlier this month about $182,750 for settling a complaint brought by the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, after the agency violated prohibition almost 1500 times between January 1998 and April 2004.U.S. Treasury Department declared that Travelocity.com "provided travel-related services in which Cuba or Cuban nationals had an interest by arranging air travel and hotel reservations to, from, with or within Cuba without an OFAC license."A spokesman for Travelocity, Joel Frey said in an e-mail Wednesday that the company hasn't applied for a license and it doesn't intend to do so. He said that the trips to Cube were unintentionally permitted to be booked by consumers online because of some technical failures from several years ago and it's just now settled with OFAC."In no way did the company intend to allow bookings for trips to Cuba and the company has fully cooperated with OFAC and implemented corrective measures."The spokeswoman of U.S. Treasury, Molly Millerwise said that any individual or business that violates Cuban sanction will face criminal penalties, but she didn't specified if the investigation of Travelocity had been closed.

Will Obama visit the Town of Obama?
by Zuzana Moravcova


On a snowy west coast of Japan, 250 miles west of Tokyo, there is a small town that would evoke curiosity among voters for U.S. president - a town of Obama.The Japanese word Obama means "Little Beach". Though, it is just a coincidence, and is nothing to do with the candidate.But Japanese leaders in Obama are obviously honored or even proud of carrying the name of potential U.S. president. To be exact, they are therefore planning to help Barrack Obama win the presidential election, because it would enhance the town's profile far beyond the borders of Japan. "It would boost our city's name recognition, and that can lead to a boost in tourism," said Murakami, the mayor. "We want a little more of an increase in foreign visitors.""We want to ask him to stop by Obama as president if he visits Japan," said Sadakazu Tsubouchi, an official at city hall. Barack Obama yet does not seem to be interested in helping a Japanese town of 32,000 inhabitants rise their tourism, well, he has definitely more important things to sort out concerning his already exhausting presidential campaign.However, Obama's Japanese followers are about to carry on with their support, as they expect the group to be growing. Seiji Fujihara, the group's secretary general, said they would gather to watch the results of the March 4 primary voting,"If Mr. Obama becomes the president, we will form a delegation and try to visit him at the White House. That would be awesome."

Safer school buses for children
by Zuzana Blazeckova


U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters proposed on Monday new rules relate to safety of children in school buses. She wants to expand the use of shoulder belts, improve buckling up while riding, and assure safeness for all students go to school by school buses. Furthermore she brought in the project to increase the height of seat backs on all school buses from 20 inches to 24 inches. It should help to protect also taller passengers in accident, because they are more likely to flying over the seats with short backs. Peters proposed another claim but for short school buses too. That is, to start with using shoulder straps. However, these changes could be implemented as early as next year. Peters system for improving safety in school buses includes very school districts and states to make their own decision how to spend their money and to shield young students to improve safeness wile riding in school buses at the same time. She promised states can use Federal Highway Safety Money to cover the cost of installing school bus seatbelts. This innovation would probably add $10, 000 to the cost of each school bus. Public comments of the suggestion made by Mary E. Peters will be accepted for 60 days.Conclusions of statistics made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say that the majority of injuries happen to passengers in other vehicles than buses. Moreover that every year an average 19 children are killed not exactly inside the bus, but on the contrary by getting on and off the school bus. So it is sometimes bigger risk for parents to let their children run at the bus stop or on the other side, impatiently get out of the bus after school day.

The "Smoking mountain" active again


Residents of Puebla, Mexico, became eye wittnesses of the incredible performance of Popocatepetl volcano on Saturday. "Judging by the altitude, it is the biggest smoke cloud we've seen in the past seven years," Popocatepetl Operation Plan director Ramon Pena told AFP.This snow capped stratovolcano with forested slopes created 8 km high cloud of ash and dangerously hot steam above the surrounding area, that has been dormant for years. Popocatepetl, often conveniently shortened to Popo, is currently the highst active volcano in the Northern Hemisphere. The name Popocatepetl, meaning "Smoking Mountain", was given to the volcano by the Aztecs, and suggests that the volcano has long been active. Accurate knowledge of Popo's activity reaches back to the first days of Spanish conquest. In historical time, about 30 eruptions have been reported, although documentation is poor. Most historical eruptions were apparently restricted to moderate Vulcanian steam and ash emission. On December 21, 1994, it awakened from dormancy and continues to be active today. In 1996, it killed five climbers at the crater rim by an explosion. This amazing show created little danger for people living on the flanks of the volcano, which separates Mexico and Puebla Valleys, both with more than 20 million inhabitants. However, according to the expert observer, this eruption has not changed the yellow alert, that signals no risk.

Be A Trafalgar Square Statue!Replace this Title


Yes, this is not a joke. You can really become a part of a Trafalgar Square. If you feel like you are supposed to be the right one, watch out the competition that is being run by London officials in effort to fill the empty "fourth plinth". It is an Antony Gormley's concept that proposes that there is no use for stone, granite, bronze or an experienced hand of the sculptor. All he needs is a myriad of people staring at the plinth willing to go "onstage" and be an one-hour-statue. And it has even a deeper meaning & it means that you are in individualist we all have to honor. The trouble is whether the weather would be willing to colaborate so he can find some potential statues.And there are five another problems. Another sculptures, projects, designs that were short listed. For example the remains of a civilians vehicle that has been destroyed during an attack in Iraq. And the author is even not trying to pretend that that is an artwork.Well, if you feel like you need a little bit of love you should pray Tracey Emin's work will win. The Meerkats, small mammals living toghether in desert are designed to be a part of fourth plinth as they are a symbol of unity and safety (and one may ask what happened to woman that created "Everyone I Have Ever Slept With" tent?!). Actually, there are some more artworks & mirrors that "brings the clouds down to the ground" and illuminated peace sign that is powered by wind and the sun. After all this, the replica of Nelson's ship in a bottle just seems to be incredibly corny.If you are not interested in being a statue, but you would like to join next year competition & what about exposing empty fourth plinth and calling it "Empty Fourth Plinth"?

High-speed trains are changing Europe


There are new possibilities of traveling in Europe using high-speed trains in more and more European places. Traveling by these new comfortably equipped and perfectly working trains can compete with flying by planes, special in the areas where using planes is useless for such a short distance. Paris, London, Brussels and Amsterdam are such a popular European destinations so close to use planes but it can appear very far to use slow and unpalatable trains. This is the past of course, since the high-speed Eurostar trains provide services on this tracks.Sitting in nicely tapestried huge soft seat with possibility of getting coffee, tea or other warm or cold drinks from the bar offer or little snack is making your visit on the board even more attractive. As these trains are mainly used by all kinds of businessmen, the air-conditioned carriages offer Internet connection and daily papers from the countries the train goes through. The sales on the rails where Eurostars started operating last year surged almost double as well as the number of passenger was the biggest in the train traveling history. It is amazing how technology miracles can change our lives. We have more and better opportunities than any generation in the past. Long distance trips up and down the Europe are becoming shorter and we are closer to each other. Businesses are wider and people are globetrotters! The way we live and think is on the top of the history and the only thing we can do is taking advantages of all opportunities we can get.

The "Smoking mountain" active again Zuzana Moravcova


Residents of Puebla, Mexico, became eye wittnesses of the incredible performance of Popocatepetl volcano on Saturday. "Judging by the altitude, it is the biggest smoke cloud we've seen in the past seven years," Popocatepetl Operation Plan director Ramon Pena told AFP.This snow capped stratovolcano with forested slopes created 8 km high cloud of ash and dangerously hot steam above the surrounding area, that has been dormant for years. Popocatepetl, often conveniently shortened to Popo, is currently the highst active volcano in the Northern Hemisphere. The name Popocatepetl, meaning "Smoking Mountain", was given to the volcano by the Aztecs, and suggests that the volcano has long been active. Accurate knowledge of Popo's activity reaches back to the first days of Spanish conquest. In historical time, about 30 eruptions have been reported, although documentation is poor. Most historical eruptions were apparently restricted to moderate Vulcanian steam and ash emission. On December 21, 1994, it awakened from dormancy and continues to be active today. In 1996, it killed five climbers at the crater rim by an explosion. This amazing show created little danger for people living on the flanks of the volcano, which separates Mexico and Puebla Valleys, both with more than 20 million inhabitants. However, according to the expert observer, this eruption has not changed the yellow alert, that signals no risk.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Thanksgiving means travelling
by Jana Kokavcova

Thanksgiving is very special holiday for American people. It means of course free days too and free days mean travelling. For Americans is travelling something like a fun, but they travel to their families living in another states or to vacation somewhere where it is cold enough to ski or warm enough to have a bath, surf, swim or sunbath. Holyday could mean special occasion to spend a great time with family. You just need a flight ticket and your vacation can start. Flight ticket. Fly. It could be also a problem. Because of this were all airports in America preparing to this holyday & to Thanksgiving. Some of them were already ready for over 2 millions of passengers. They were well-prepared to Thanksgiving this year. They couldn't make a mistake, but the possibility to have some problems at the airport is always here. It is not so simple to prepare such a big service as airport really is. It is impossible to prepare everything so well that there is no possibility to fail. But they are always trying and make their precautions more than good. So Thanksgiving means a lot of problems for all American airports every year. How would it be this year? We can say nothing yet. How will look American travel? How will look like their holydays? We don't know. But there is possibility that aspiration of all airports in America will be successful

Breeze through and take a seat
by Ludmila Martinicka


Most of the people already made their first flight. Some of them also the second, the third, ... Traveling by plane is the fastest possibility how to reach your friends living in another city, country, or even on the other side of the planet. It became a standard way of transport. But what people forget about again and again are the rules and the conditions of boarding.Bizarre stuff is confiscated on the airports every day. For example two-headed snake, collection of crabs, human eyeballs, guns imitations, belt with fake-bullets and others. It is not easy to surprise the screeners, they seems to be quite used to it. Archives of the airport screeners could tell you about even more bizarre examples.You should be careful about the content of your bags especially when you are traveling during big feasts. In these days are airports crowded of hasting people. Would be great to check the terms and conditions of your travel agency before the flight, otherwise you might leave your Christmas gifts on the airport and never get them back again.It is true and really appreciated by some busy travelers, that several airports offer payed sending service. So, if the employer of the airport catch you with some unacceptable stuff in your pocket, ask him to send it to you by post. Or try to manage it before the flight. Flying agencies are able to accept some unusual parcels and transport them when it is planned in advance.If you passed the control without any obstacles, please, take a seat! I wish you to have a nice flight.

Lucky turkeys
by Zuzana Valkova


This week almost every family in the United States is going crazy. One of their most favourite holiday is coming. Thanksgiving.They are home with their families, watching TV, playing games, and what is very important & eating good meals.Their specialty is definitely thanksgiving turkey. 5.32 millions turkeys are killed every year, just to be dinner for American families. Can you imagine how many it is? They are sold on every corner of every street, and you have to hurry up to pick up the right one for you. But every year there are some lucky turkeys. There is a special ceremony in the White House, where the President of the United States gives presidential pardon to these two lucky turkeys. After this ceremony are the turkeys taken to farm, where they can live happily until the end of their natural life. They even have names. They were usually sent to big farm in state Virginia, but since 2005 they are sent to Disneyland in California or in Florida. So if you want to see these animal celebrities just go thereIt is not sure why was this ceremony found. First president who gave the pardon was the president Truman in 1947. Maybe he just liked animals or wanted to be popular. But it was really nice decision and I think other animals should get this pardon too.

Chris Cantell Discusses Travel: Ireland as a tourist destination Daniela Simkova


Ireland has registered the highest annual number of tourists in entire history. Seamus Brennan, a Tourism Minister said: "As we approach the end of 2007, all the indications are that we will enjoy another record year for Irish tourism." Ireland is visited mostly by tourists from the central Europe, neighboring Britain, and the visitors from The United States. Though the neighboring Britain slightly decreased a number of incoming tourists, other countries have increased the number of visitors. The number of tourists was increased by 4.0 percent as for the comparization to the last year's tourism. Even if the number of visitors from the Britain decreased to 3.46 million, the number of people coming from Europe thumbed to 2.23 million. The number of American visitors jumped nearly to 1,000,000 people. Ireland experienced a tourist record this year. About 9,000,000 people have visited Ireland this year. Some came because of the job opportunities and others just for fun to do some sightseeing and have nice memories. Ireland was pleased especially about the American tourists, because they usually stayed longer, hired a car, traveled across the Ireland and spent more money. Could the competition of the two Ireland's biggest airlines cause this strong surge of tourists? The Ryanair has extremely extended direct links from Ireland to various European destinations as well as the other biggest airlines Aer Lingus. There is a high probability that tourists were driven by different flight opportunities in choosing their holiday destination. The Ministry of Tourism in Ireland plans to spend a $73 million on marketing. Mr. Seamus Brennan would like to promote Ireland overseas as a tourist destination.

Tragical air accidents. Zuzana Valkova


Everyone thinks that flying is the safest way of traveling. Everyday there are thousands accidents on the ground. Every year is killed over million of people in car accidents. Planes are crashing only time to time. That is not stimulative, but better than nothing. When you are traveling by plane, it is 10 times safer than driving your car; it is almost as safe as sitting in the pub with your friends. Numbers don't lie. Flying is safer. But there were many really big plane accidents in the past, and I wanted to know which one was the worst.The biggest collision took a place on beautiful island Tenerife. In 1977 two Boeings crashed on the runway, when KLM Airways plane was taking off and Pan American plane was taxiing. This accident killed 583 people.Second biggest crash was flight of the Japan Airlines Boeing in 1985. After structural failure and loosing most of the hydraulic control, the plane crashed into the mountain. 520 people died and 4 survived. Third one was mid air collision of two planes, one of the Saudi Arabian Airlines and the second one of the Air Kazakhstan. The crash happened over the small village in India in 1996. This day died 349 people from both planes.346 people died in the fourth biggest accident in the history. McDonnell Douglas plane exploded shortly after taking off from Paris in 1974. There were many accidents like this in history. I know they look terrible. At one time are killed so many people. But these kinds of accidents are not happening everyday. Car accidents are.

A holiday to remember Claudia Sonea


This year China seduced many tourists in spending their holiday in the tiny gambling enclave of Macau, a territory that was under Portuguese ownership until 1999 when it was returned to China. However the choice proved to be one of the worst and ended with a riot against tour guides and even against the police. Around 2.4 million tourists traveled to Macau since October and nearly half of them were from mainland China, according to government figures. The points of attraction are easy to be seen due to the fact that big-name U.S. casino operators such as Las Vegas resort owners Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn develop the retail and gambling industry. Moreover, Macau combines European heritage (Portuguese language and several U.N.-declared World Heritage sites) and Chinese culture. Everyone that decided to spend the holiday there has suffered a tremendous shock, but the blame falls on both sides: tourists have been too aggressive and the police shouldn't have used force to calm down spirits. The conflict was created because the local guides took the tourists to see too many shops and they missed the purpose of their visit: the historical sites in the territory. It seems a problem of communication that should have been solved diplomatically by the two sides involved, nevertheless police officers were sent to deal with the matter which involved more than 100 tourists, according to police spokesman Pun Siu-tong. The tourists did not receive the peacemakers very well and injured one officer after which they surrounded the police car preventing them from leaving. In consequence more than 40 police armed with riot gear and batons were then dispatched to handle the situation, said Pun busting the rumors that the police were from Macau's riot squad. Official figures showed that four police officers were injured, while five tourists were charged with creating a public disturbance and confronting police. All in all, police is not completely guilty for the incident that damaged the territory's reputation as Macau lawmaker Antonio Ng presents it. For something so easy to solve like guides there was no need for brutality or strike. Tension has finally showed that we are indeed fragile when it comes to temper. Angry and unhappy tourists coming to relax and enjoy broke down and lost their calm. How the famous rapper Eminem says it: temper, temper!
