Since I have worked there many years, I can say something as well. I always was charmed by women wearing fur coats. Of course climate changes have made some adjustments in Lithuania too. But at least one month we have winter, temperature drops below -20 degrees. Although the modern fashion industry is extremely flexible and producing coats from other staff too or combining fur with other materials. But in the cold weather if you have to stay for a longer time fur coats are number one.                                  ...

It is already spent about two years since I wrote about the escalating conflict in Ukraine between the Russia . Actually I was not much shore that my prediction could materialize. We have the state of war in Ukraine . Innovative war which Europe has not seen before, so far. So the challenges for Europe and particularly Ukraine itself are innovative. So it is worth for a close look at it. What happened in those years new, where the forecast did not materialized and where – the contrary, was writhe. It was written very much about Maidan and why protests have aroused in Ukraine . So I will be sort. Initially, protest arose spontaneously, when the Ukrainian president Yanukovych refused to sing a free trade agreement with the European Union. After long and series protest escalation came in the end of February. When Yanukovych regime started to use force against the protesters. It has ended with the victory of Maidan and Yanukovich has escaped from the country. Before that it occur...

                                  Tel Aviv @prognosemaker January 11 was reported that Ariel Sharon is dead. For some time I wanted to write an article about Israel ; the death of this man pushed me to do so. At the end of last year two people have traveled to Israel . The trip was impromptus, just once again occurred good offer from Wizzair (please not get the false impression; we are not a travel maniacs or going mad). The company operates direct flights from Vilnius . They are flying to Israel from other European cities too. Of course we had to find an accommodation. And it was not so easy. First of all, I was surprised by hotels rates. They are comparable to the prices in Norway ! As the plane landing in the largest Israeli airport, Ben Gurion, it was necessary to decide where we should live: in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem . The airport is located between these two cities, but Tel Av...

Currently, the retail price of fuel felt. The price dropped up to 105 U.S. dollars per barrel. It is associated with less concern about possible military conflicts in the Middle East . Drivers should enjoy long-term downward trend in oil prices and Ukrainians also. "This is due to the fact that countries such as the United States , which is a major oil consumer, a large amount of its oil consumption fulfilling by shale gas. Currently, a number of vehicles (buses, trucks) in the U.S. are no longer driven by fuel made ​​ from petroleum, but LPG. This reduces the overall demand for oil in the world “, - explained the N. Mačiulis , Swed bank analyst. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich said that the country will reduce purchases of the Russian gas. It is not clear how Ukraine is going to do, because in order to ensure the supply of gas to the Europe in the Ukraine located stores should be supplied with gas. Ukraine 's gas system has been developed during the Soviet era a...

Although the company Chevron was recognized the winner of the shale gas exploration , the company refuzed to paticipated in the shale gas exploration in Lithuania. The reasons for refuzal were not alone. In the half of the yaer was changed about 25 lows in governing this activity. The company has to invest about 80 milion lt in the procejct. The law changing will incrise investments and exploration will take longe time. Some Lithuanian MPs sudgested 40% tax for the shale gas and for the oil and gas 25%. Chevron said that charges will be dicriminatory. It is clearly big los for the Lithuania. It remains unclear how much that tip of gas we have. Even posibility to extract small amount of shale gas would make better bargaining position for Lithuania for talking with Gazprom. But this was lost. Theris no doubt that Russia tried to impect this proses. The press was flued with misleading information. Green organizations was used to focus public against Chevron. In this sence necesarelly t...
