Noul vin fara sulfiti: „Se adresează tuturor: atât celor care au alergii la sulf, cât şi celor care preferă aşa-zisul vin curat, de casă. Aceste vinuri sunt însă diferite de vinurile pe care şi le face omul prin gospodărie: dezvoltă arome frumoase şi nu sunt oxidate“.

 

Noile vinuri – un rosé şi un roşu din Cabernet Sauvignon, un alb şi un frizzante din Fetească Regală – fac parte din gama Riserva fără sulfiţi a declarat enologul Sorin Macoviciuc.





Linia de vinuri fara sulfiti a atras atentia diplomatilor prezenti.

IS HONDURAS SAFE TO TRAVEL ? THE ANSWER IS NO! AVOID ALL TRAVEL TO HONDURAS. TRAVEL WARNING!

Honduras, once a promising  Central American country is in the grips of a fascist style rule and with a president Mr. Juan Orlando Hernandez accused of narcotraffic and money laundering  and the tourists are advised to avoid the troubled nation which already tops the international statistic in homicide numbers.



 WELCOME TO WORLD`S CAPITAL OF MURDER IN HONDURAS



The nation`s capital: Tegucigalpa was named the World`s Murder Capital in respect to the unpunished and rampant crimes in the areas. 




Mr. Juan Orlando Hernandez has arrived in power in Honduras after a US sponsored coup d`etat and remained in power using corruption, crime, drug cartels and  trumped elections.




 The U.S. Department of State assigns travel advisories or restrictions to countries and cities to best advise U.S. travelers making decisions about whether or not to visit. 


Honduras has been assigned a "Level 3: Reconsider travel" advisory, meaning that people who have been thinking about planning a trip to Honduras should reconsider due to high levels of crime throughout the country. 



This is a valid recommendation as the country is in a state of virtual civil war and it`s especially war-like levels in the region of Gracias a Dios, where danger is heightened because of the lack of emergency services to respond to dangerous situations or urgent calls.  



The country has a huge problem with gang activity, and armed robbery, drug trafficking, rape and violent street crime are widespread. 



There is a risk of kidnapping, although this is usually confined to wealthy Honduran citizens.



Pickpocketing is rife, especially in larger areas where there is a greater concentration of hotels and tourists. 


To all this already unsavory portrait of a tourist destination in the last week we can add the starting of huge manifestations against the corrupt government of Juan Orlando Hernandez in what can be best described as a liberation struggle by the long suffering people of Honduras.


Thus avoiding Honduras, leaving the country immediately are all normal travel advices that need to be respected.    

GRABESTE-TE! E TIMPUL SA DESCOPERI HOTELUL DOMENIILE PANCIU

Hotelul mai include un restaurant ‘a la carte’, winebar & tasting room, zona de SPA, piscină și teren de tenis.

TRAVEL WARNING: AVOID TRAVEL TO MAURITIUS

Corruption and mishandling of the economy has brought tourism ( a once promising industry) at his knees in Mauritius. 


Two kleptocratic government led by Sir Anerood Jugnauth and present day by his son Pravind Jugnauth has succeeded in provoking nothing but hardship and crisis for the peoples of Mauritius the latest episode being the emergence of travel advisory on the account of the high criminality rates on the island on the par with Sri Lanka .

Most of countries has upgraded their travel advisory telling their citizens  to avoid non-essential travel to Sri Lanka following the deadly bombings in that country on Easter Sunday.

 


Mauritius is also sidelined as the country is traversing a protracted political crisis and is presenting a large array of risks from terrorism and indiscriminate attacks, to day light robbery, violence, crimes, sexual offences, drugs related offences, mugging, pick-pocketing and natural disasters prone area etc.


The governments are noting the decision to travel is your own choice, and adds your personal safety is also your responsibility.

 




The attacks in Sri Lanka where a sober reminder on the need for tourists to heed the warnings of travel advisories and avoid traveling to dangers spots.

 

 


More than 350 people were killed on April 21st when three churches and three luxury hotels were attacked in the greater Colombo area of Sri Lanka.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, but authorities have said they remain unsure of its involvement.


The Canadian government for example says the situation remains volatile, and warns other attacks could take place.


For those living in or currently visiting Sri Lanka, the Government of Canada is urging people to avoid the areas impacted by the recent attacks, to remain extremely cautious, and to limit their movements as much as they can.

Sri Lankan authorities have declared a state of emergency, and a curfew had been imposed. 


The same recommendations should be taken under consideration for those obliged to travel to Mauritius.


Dozens of people have been arrested so far in connection with the attacks.

Traveling to far flung and risky places like Mauritius and Sri Lanka makes necessary to take fallowing precautions and you are also advised to leave the areas immediately:

 


- remain vigilant, keep up to date with developments and follow the advice of local security authorities and hotel security staff;

- keep a low profile, avoid crowded public places, large gatherings (including religious gatherings and places of worship) and any demonstrations. 

- All of the attacks on 21 April were carried out either in places of worship or in places where foreign visitors were affected. Any further attacks may be targeted against similar locations;

- avoid travelling during periods of curfew (other than to/from the airport – see below);

- keep in touch with family and friends, ensuring they are aware of any plans you may have.

 


A list of the most recent crimes, unlawful activities and menaces taking place in Mauritius is available here on the UK government travel advisories dedicated site.

IF BOEING WANTS TO RESTORE CUSTOMER CONFIDENCE IT MUST STOP PRODUCING BOEING 737 MAX8 APPRECIATE CONSUMER PROTECTION ADVOCATES

On the unfolding Boeing  737 MAX crisis, China is taking the lead in order to insure air safety for his citizens and after being the first nation to ground all  Boeing 737 MAX is taking another step further and is  suspended the certificate of airworthiness.


China suspended the certificate of airworthiness for Boeing Co.’s 737 Max jet, saying it needs to review a proposed modification before determining whether the plane is safe to fly after two recent crashes.


The move raises the possibility of the Max being kept out of skies should authorities deem Boeing’s fix for plane-control software linked to the disasters inadequate.


Earlier Chinese authorities grounded the country’s fleet of Max planes on March 11, a day after an Ethiopian Airlines flight plunged to the ground by systemic failure.


The latest decision was taken in light of the uncertainty surrounding the model and an anti-stall system that’s the focus of a probe into the loss of the Ethiopian Airlines plane, according to the Civil Aviation Administration of China.


Against this general back drop in confidence after the two terrible crashes that left more than 300 people dead the  former US Presidential hopeful Ralph Nader makes a compelling case for BOEING 737 MAX model to be banned forever as the airplane is inherently faulty.

 


 

Boeing 737 MAX the aircraft involved in two air-crash disasters should be seriously scrutinized if is capable of flying or just a flying coffin.

A somber reminder: This is all that was left from the ill-fated BOEING 737 MAX and his crew and passengers bound for Nairobi-Kenya.


 


The letter comes in the light of the preliminary report on the terrible Ethiopian Airlines and Lion Air crashes that took the life of 346 innocent passengers and crew members.


Ralph Nader does not mince his words on the responsibility inherent with Boeing actions:


Step by step, Boeing’s criminal negligence, driven by a race to make profits, worsened.

Before and after the fatal crashes, Boeing did not reveal, did not warn, did not train, and did not address the basic defective aerodynamic design. It gagged everyone that it could. Boeing still insists that the 737 Max is safe and is building two a day, while pushing to end the grounding.” 


The law suits had already started with a wrongful death case that was filed against Boeing on the same day that a preliminary investigation into last month’s Ethiopian Airlines crash revealed damning details about the aircraft manufacturer and raised new questions about whether it gave pilots proper instructions for navigating new software.


The findings were released Thursday in Ethiopia, based on the analysis of a team of 18 investigators, less than a month after the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash killed all 157 people on board.


The report found similarities in the technical issues experienced by pilots on both the Ethiopian Airlines flight and October’s Indonesian Lion Air Flight 610, which also crashed just minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 people on board.


Both flights were on a Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.


What of the near future? ask Ralph Nader.


Airline passengers should organize a consumer boycott of the Boeing 737 Max 8 to avoid having to fly on these planes in the coming decade.

Once Boeing realizes that this brand has a deep marketing stigma, it may move more quickly to the drawing boards, so as to not alienate airline carriers”.
