Amsterdam plane crash: Turkish airplane ran out of Fuel

According to Turkish News sources that cite acting Mayor Michel Bezuijen of the Haarlemmermeer municipality, the turkish airliner that just crashed in Amsterdam crashed because it ran out of fuel.

9 people died and about 50 were seriously injured. Ran out of fuel? On a routine trip from Istanbul to Amsterdam? If this is true it proves that the Airline industry are taking dangerous measures just to survive the current economic conditions: just try to fly with less gas, mr pilot.

Shouldnt there be some sort of control on planes that they have enough fuel for the journey before they leave? It’s a strange story, and it effects me because I often fly with Turkish Airlines.

De Ex Libris works of Serik Kulmeshkenov

The Kazakhstan born graphic artist Serik Kulmeshkenov is one of the few artists that keeps the ex Libris craft alive, a special genre within the arts. Ex Libris are special book seals people use to personify their person book collection. The works of Serik Kulmeshkenov are excellent examples of why this craft should never disappear:

Serik Kulmeshkenov

Ex libris Natalya Chebotar / size 90mm x 90mm, 2005.

Serik Kulmeshkenov

Ex libris Sergey and Irina Khrapov / size 80mm x 105mm, 2008

Serik Kulmeshkenov

Ex libris Paul Elliott / size 65mm x 82mm, 2008.

These and many more magnificent Ex libris works you can view at the website of Serik Kulmeshkenov. Every serious book collector should have such an emblem, in my opinion.
