EMERGENCY AIRLINE NEWS MOST FLIGHTS GROUNDED IN THE U.S.

U.S. FAA reports the national flight personnel alert system not processing data.

PUBLISHED WED, JAN 11 2023 3:05 AM PST

Story and information by:
Nolan Apostle – Contributing Editor
EC Premier Magazine
Reporting from Las Vegas, Nevada

MAIN POINTS
The FAA flight system that alerts pilots and other flight personnel about hazards or any changes to airport facility services and relevant procedures was not processing updated information, the regulator’s website showed on Wednesday.

Over 400 flights were delayed within, into, or out of the United States as of Wednesday 2.30 am PT, flight tracking website FlightAware showed. It was not immediately clear if the outage was a factor.

PUBLISHED WED, JAN 11 2023 3:05 AM PST

UPDATES:
The FAA has lifted the GROUND STOP! There are already flight delays from many airports around the country. Planes and crews are out of position currently and just the fact that this has happened has delayed the entire system.

It’s going to take a while for the entire flight system to come back. There are over 4,000 flight delays currently throughout the country. It’s actually a major domino effect.

IF YOU ARE TRAVELING TODAY PLEASE CALL YOUR AIRLINE FOR UPDATES!!

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) system that alerts pilots and other flight personnel about hazards or any changes to airport facility services and relevant procedures was not processing updated information, the civil aviation regulator’s website showed on Wednesday.

In an advisory, the FAA said its NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system had “failed”. There was no immediate estimate for when it would be back, the website showed, though NOTAMs issued before the outage were still viewable.

Currently over 400 flights were delayed within, into, or out of the United States as of Wednesday 2:31 am PST, flight tracking website FlightAware showed. It was not immediately clear if the outage was a factor. The number of flight delays is expected to rise.

“Technicians are currently working to restore the system,” the website showed. The FAA is not immediately available for further comment.

A NOTAM is a notice containing information essential to personnel concerned with flight operations, but not known far enough in advance to be publicized by other means.

Information can go up to 200 pages for long-haul international flights and may include items such as runway closures, general bird hazard warnings, or low-altitude construction obstacles.

Jabberin Jack is the Party Hero

By Felix Solomon Writer/Reporter

Mindscope Products is in Las Vegas at the Mirage Convention Center Jan. 10-12. Visit their booth (1600) at the Halloween and Party Expo to see if they brought Jabberin Jack along to liven up the party.

Their new technology is a step up from the talking fish on a plaque. Still, it feels like it’s having its ’70s moment. (see the Jabberin Jack grid display above) Give it an A.I. and refined video tech or sophisticated animatronics and it could serve as a multipurpose greeter with a heart.

Imagine a pumpkin hopping excitedly.

And he has some friends. With the same upgrades they could hold amusing conversations poking fun at their holiday affiliations.

Eek the Cat (not the ’90s do-gooder) and Fawny (Funny?)

And Mr. Chill

Enjoy a Drink and Drive Home Safely

By Nolan Apostle – Contributing Editor

Alexander “LEX” Gill – Journalist & Photographer

For Bitter For Worse was founded by Shelley and Jeff, and yes that is what they go by. They have been inspired to create the products within their company through their long, sparky marriage and a great love for celebration! Shelley had some health challenges and she broke up with booze. She’s the company’s Taste Maven. She drew from years of experience as a cocktail enthusiast to create her own nuanced non-alcoholic recipes. Jeff’s the company’s Reverse Bootlegger. He invented the patent-pending process and converted Shelley’s recipes to scalable formulas. For Bitter For Worse has been starting parties since 2020!

They are showcasing their product at the Winter Fancy Food Show 2023 from Jan. 15-17 located at the Las Vegas Convention Center . Visit them at the DPI Booth 1001 where Las Vegas  they will present four of their best and exquisitely crafted non-alcoholic aperitifs to buyers and distributors. Come and taste why the are among the top contenders.

Built solidly on organic botanicals and eschewing simple natural flavors, these “spirits” impart a drinking experience that brings enjoyment of your drink while leaving you clear headed. That is the goal for a new trend of drink seekers who want to taste a drink that resembles the hard liquors or wines. Whether they pair well with foods or garner some respect from alkies is a bonus. They are getting a bold drink that’s not for kids.

Best-selling Eva’s spritz is a sparkling aperitif: tart, herbaceous, with bright citrusy notes and a bitter finish. Eva’s spritz won a gold in London at the International Wine and Spirits Competition, the world’s oldest drinks contest. The New York Times Wirecutter also recognized the sparkler as one of the best drinks of 2022. Eva’s spritz is shelf stable and packaged in a 750 ml sharing format (SRP $27.50) and single-serve 6oz cans (SRP $5.50).

Rose City Fizz is an approachable, fruit-forward sparkler with rich dark berry flavor punctuated by fresh ginger and Douglas fir tips. This spritz won a silver medal in the aperitifs category at the LA Spirits Awards and is a 2023 Finalist for the Good Food Awards. Rose City Fizz is shelf stable and packaged in a 750 ml sharing format (SRP $27.50) and single-serve 6oz cans (SRP $5.50).

The Saskatoon is described as red wines’ mysterious, wiser friend. The New York Times Wirecutter recognized it among the best drinks of 2021 and likened the flavor profile to a grassy pinot noir. The Saskatoon won a silver medal at the LA Spirits Award and a bronze medal in London. The Saskatoon is shelf stable and packaged in a 750 ml sharing format (SRP $27.50).

Smoky no.56 is a potent nightcap, with “brown spirits vibes” and a smoky flavor profile tempered by citrus and a hint of maple. A gold medal winner at the LA Spirits Awards in the spirits category, this beverage is best enjoyed with a mixer. Smoky no.56 is shelf stable and packaged in a 750 ml sharing format (SRP $27.50).

These are also available in cans.

This award-winning company was founded by Shelly Elkovich, who has a neurologically alcohol adverse condition, and her MIT-trained husband, Jeff Heglie. They set out to re-engineer the bootlegging process and create these sophisticated and healthy beverages. And along the way made the best drinks possible after a legacy of thousands of years of experimenting and refinement by their predecessors.
