A new concept of children flying

Have you always wondered if children should be given better conditions when they decide to travel by plane? If that's the case, then you will be glad to know that an increasing number of people are now claiming that airlines should pay more attention to that matter. Below is another msnbc.com article explaining you the whole story:

A father watched as his 11-year-old son Seth embarked on a flight alone to visit family. Seeing Seth walk down the runway, he went home, assuming his son would arrive safely. Six hours later, he discovered Seth had walked off the plane before departure. He left the airport, stopped at a gas station for directions and trotted 30 miles along an interstate to his home town.

If you are allowing your children to fly alone, be sure to take every necessary precaution to ensure their safety. Millions of children fly alone each year, the majority without incident. But Seth's case should be a warning to parents: Be sure you and your child are prepared for the trip.

Unaccompanied minors
Children ages 5-14 who travel without a parent or guardian are known as "unaccompanied minors." Many airlines will not allow children who are under 7 to make connections at all, but in the event a minor is old enough to change planes, they will probably be assisted by airline personnel and a fee of $75-$100 will be charged. Some airlines, Southwest for example, will not allow any minor (5-11) to change planes. On US Airways, a child must be at least 15 years old to take a flight with a connection.

If you intend to send an unaccompanied minor by plane (with or without a connection), you will be required to fill out a form detailing the child's name, age, medical considerations and other relevant information. Upon arrival, children will be escorted from the aircraft by a flight attendant and released to the person named by you prior to departure.

In addition, you will have to agree that the airline is not taking on any special responsibility of guardianship during the flight. Legally, an unaccompanied minor is treated in the same way as an adult passenger.

General age guidelines
Airline rules vary, but here's a good idea of what to expect on domestic flights:

Children ages 1-4 may fly only when accompanied by an adult. A child must be at least 5 to fly alone.

The importance of online advertising

As you know, our economy is really facing a major downturn and it is extremely important that we do our best in order to find the best services and the most reliable companies so that we can overcome the current difficulties that we may be facing thanks to the current financial crisis.

Keeping this in mind, I would personally say that it is extremely important that we adopt new advertising techniques so that we can spread the word about our business and services much easily and without spending too much money on old marketing strategies that no longer work in the current society. In fact, ProfitFuel comes to my mind as the ultimate website where you can get dedicated and accurate advertising solutions for your company! Moreover, if you keep in mind that this company was named to Inc. 500 List as One of the Fastest Growing Companies, then you may have an idea of efficient are the techniques used by the company when trying to advertise your website as much as possible.

So, would you really like to exploit your business to the maximum and get it advertised on the best places on the Internet? If that’s the case, then you definitely need to have a look at the website to which I have linked just above and see with your own eyes what that company can do for you!

Are you a fan of Frank Lloyd?

Personally, I would say that Frank Lloyd is definitely one of the most talented persons that I have seen in the business so far, making it absolutely mandatory that you read the msnbc.com article below to see how you can have a closer look at all his work:

MILWAUKEE - Taliesin opens for the season in April, and officials there expect big crowds, despite the recession. Or maybe because of the recession.

The number of visitors to Frank Lloyd Wright's home in Spring Green, about 120 miles west of Milwaukee, increased 10 percent from 2007 to 2008, after flat attendance the two previous years.

Advanced reservations are up 65 percent over this time last year, said Carol Johnson, president of the nonprofit Taliesin Preservation Inc. Gift shop sales were up about 10 percent, she said.

But Taliesin West, Wright's winter home and studio in Scottsdale, Ariz., saw a drop in tour attendance by nearly 15 percent and gift shop sales by 4 percent last year.

Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation President Phil Allsopp said he suspects part of the difference is tourists tend to fly to Arizona because big cities are so distant. People can drive from Milwaukee and Chicago to Spring Green in three or four hours.

Allsopp called the interest in Taliesin "fabulous."

"We really can't figure out why, but we're are not complaining about it," he said in a recent phone interview from his office in Scottsdale.

The foundation operates Taliesin in Spring Green and Taliesin West, does student outreach programs and runs the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture and the Frank Lloyd Wright Archives.

The importance of bronze plaques

While traveling all around the world, I realized that one of the most important things in life are definitely the memories that we have of those that we have always loved and who are now gone, the memories that we keep about the heroes in our lives and also the memories of those who have always done their best in order to make us feel special!

Keeping this in mind, when you try to make a good memory of those persons that you have always admired, you often end up not knowing what to do when they pass away and so you think you are the only one in that situation. As a matter of fact, my friend Bill recently lost her beloved English teacher at school who he has always admired and who has always helped him and he really had no idea of which grave marker he would be choosing and also what he would be writing on it! Fortunately, all of you who ever end up facing a similar situation now have the chance to have a look at these Bronze Markers And Plaques which will last for centuries and with the help of their website you can even have a more precise idea of what you will be writing on the plaque as you will be given some special advice from people who regularly deal with those situations. Personally, I will be using the website to which I have linked above whenever I need to get a bronze plaque in order to express my admiration for someone who is no longer amongst us.

So, would you also like to buy some new bronze plaques or similar plaques? If that’s the case, then you definitely need to have a look at the website above and see what that company can do for you.

Traveling may often surprise us...

Do you honestly think that you have seen everything and there is nothing else that airlines can do in order to surprise you? Below is another msnbc.com article which will definitely make your opinion change as you will hear about the amazing tale of a man who just wanted to rush to the bathroom:

"

ATLANTA - A man rushing to get to the restroom on an international Delta Air Lines flight has been charged with assault, accused of twisting a flight attendant's arm.

Joao Correa of Concord, Ohio, says he had a bathroom emergency but his path was blocked by a beverage cart during the March 28 flight from Honduras to Atlanta. He asked if he could use the lavatory in business class, but was told no, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper.

Federal Aviation Administration policy requires passengers on international flights to use the restroom in their seating class.

Authorities say the 43-year-old man is accused of pulling and twisting the flight attendant's arm, the newspaper said. He was arrested when the plane landed in Atlanta and charged with assault.

Correa was released after two nights in jail, pending a hearing.
