A mobile service that can help to combat human trafficking in Russia and all over the world. It allows people in any country to get important information or send messages, and it costs nothing to the end users. It needs neither state-of-the-art smartphone nor Wi-Fi connection. It’s available anywhere in the world, it’s lightning fast, works on any mobile phone, which is especially important in emergency situations for human trafficking victims or high-risk groups who cannot pay or haven’t access to the internet when they need it.

For safety reasons, in most cases the service response will contain brief info like contacts, useful phone numbers, etc that isn’t stored in the phone memory so the criminals won’t trace that a victim tried to reach help. However, it can also respond with SMS messages that contain links to more detailed information that users can open in handset browser or computer.

Top Airline Safety Questions- PART 2

The most important questions about airline safety answered in this easy-to-follow run-down:

3.      What kind of emergency am I most likely to face?

For every accident, there are dozens, even hundreds of unusual circumstances that can happen during a flight.

For a passenger, the most likely emergencies that you will face where you will have to do something is an evacuation of the aircraft using the emergency slides or using the emergency oxygen system. In most cases, the evacuation is ordered as a precautionary measure, not because the passengers face imminent danger.

Emergency oxygen masks may be deployed automatically or be deployed manually by the flight crew. In most cases, deployment of the masks does not indicate that the passengers are in imminent danger.

An example of an emergency evacuation that went very well, was the 2005 Air France crash in Toronto. The aircraft was on a scheduled international flight from Paris to Toronto. The aircraft encountered heavy thunderstorms upon arrival in Toronto. The crew was able to land, but was unable to stop the aircraft on the runway. The aircraft departed the runway and rolled into a gully where the aircraft broke up and caught fire. All passengers and crew were able to successfully escape the burning plane. None of the 12 crew members and or 297 passengers were killed.

Top Airline Safety Questions- PART 1

The most important questions about airline safety answered in this easy-to-follow run-down:

1.      Where is the safest place to sit on an airplane?

The short answer is there is no safest seat.

In an aircraft accident where the plane is seriously damaged or one or more occupants are injured or killed, the severity of the injuries depends on many factors, some of which may not be apparent until an accident occurs.

For example, there have been many accidents involving heavy smoke or fire where survival depended on the ability of the passengers to not panic and to quickly remove themselves and others from the aircraft after landing.

2.      Which aircraft model is the safest?

In general, all aircraft in a particular class have to adhere to the same set of standards. When safety concerns arise because of one or more accidents associated with a particular model, the civil aviation authorities of the major industrialized countries will usually require that the issue be addressed in all relevant aircraft models.

For example, fatal airline accidents due to wind shear in the 1970s and 1980s in the U.S. led to a number of innovations in aircraft and ground wind shear detection systems and also in flight crew training which has led to a reduction in the risk of accidents from that weather issue.

While accidents of any kind are rare, you can get a better idea of how safe an aircraft model is by comparing how often passengers die in a plane crash involving that particular aircraft model.

The World’s Top Ten Party Hotels – PART 10

The lightning bolt motif that traverses this party hotel’s sleek 27-story glass facade is just the first indication that theWit is positively sizzling.

The ROOF lounge, its year-round indoor/outdoor crowning glory, has been Chicago’s reigning “it” spot since its May 2009 debut, granting skyline and starry views; roaring fire pits; a menu of signature cocktails and small plates; and danceable beats doled out by weekend DJs or via the live rock and pop bands showcased in the June 2010-debuted concert series, ROOFLIVE (held twice monthly in summer/early fall).

Add to that theWit’s bustling Loop location (just a stone’s throw from top theatres and eateries); duo of popular on-site restaurants; tricked-out movie theatre available for private party screenings; and some 300 stylish guest rooms to harbour your hangover in and you have just the energy-infused, merry-making recipe to whip up a regular roster of party-minded patrons.

And theWit isn’t about to gather any moss on its primo party-circuit status: Though they say lightning doesn’t strike twice, its newly debuted second-floor Phoenix Lounge is already creating some sparks, with a menu of classic cocktails, a reader-friendly wine-list (“Lush Red”, “Buttery White”), and Mediterranean-inspired small plates rounded out by chic décor (black velvet chairs, silver leather banquets, modern sculpture) and live evening acoustic sets from local artists (Thursdays through Saturdays). Summer rates go for $229/night.

The World’s Top Ten Party Hotels – PART 9

New York’s 18th-floor Top of the Standard (formerly “The Boom Boom Room”) alone could earn hotelier Andre Balazs’ Meatpacking District property a spot on this list.

The uber-exclusive rooftop club at The Standard has already hosted the likes of Madonna, Jude Law, and Courtney Love, but now the VIP cachet is set to spike even more when the space reopens its clubbing hours in late 2010 as a “private social club” (so say our insider sources; the space currently shuts down at 10 p.m. but is open for daily sunset service). Thankfully, The Standard’s four other bars still draw crowds. Biergarten and The Standard Grill cater to more casual types, with hearty brews, outdoor seating, and a more relaxed atmosphere than many of the nabe’s velvet-rope spots, while DJs spin Friday and Saturday nights at The Living Room. For sky-high panoramas of the Hudson and High Line Park, guests can flock to Le Bain, a new rooftop space outfitted with Astroturf carpeting, metal-framed plastic lawn chairs, and an indoor pool bar one floor below (complete with sparkly disco ball).

The party hotel’s 337 guest rooms seem to be an afterthought here, but the amenities certainly won’t disappoint: Floor-to-ceiling glass walls with city and river views, mood lighting, and Kiss My Face organic bath products. Rates start at $295.
