VILNIUS, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- Lithuania's Klaipeda's seaport is on track for a record year in 2016 in terms of cargo volumes, Arvydas Vaitkus, director of the Klaipeda State Seaport Authority, said on Wednesday.


"If December goes well for us, the new yearly record of cargo handling volumes will be reached by the end of 2016, amounting to 40 million tons," Vaitkus was quoted as saying at a press conference in Klaipeda by local website vz.lt.


In the Jan.-Nov. period, the seaport's cargo handling turnover increased by 4.6 percent year on year from a year ago to 36.7 million tons, the authority said.


In all of 2015, cargo handling volumes amounted to 38.5 million tons.


Vaitkus attributed this year's progress to sustainable state and private sector investments into the seaport's infrastructure.


In November, cargo handling turnover amounted to 3.45 million tons, a 21.5-percent increase from the same month in 2015.


The Klaipeda seaport authority expects the company's net profit to amount to 31 million euros (33.3 million U.S. dollars) this year.


The seaport's cargo handling increased in all most important segments this year, including oil products, containers, roll-onroll-off (ro-ro) cargo and liquefied natural gas.


Klaipeda State Seaport is a port on the Eastern coast of the Baltic Sea. It is the biggest Lithuanian transport hub, connecting sea, land and railway routes.

ATHENS Sidney Crosby Kids Jersey (http://www.thenhlpenguinsshop.com/sidney-crosby-hockey-jersey/) , Aug. 28 (Xinhua)-- Chinese flagship airline Air China is launching direct flights between Beijing and Athens this September in cooperation with the Athens International Airport (AIA), one more landmark in the bilateral ties which is expected to help bring people of the two nations closer.


On Wednesday, an Air China AirbusA330-200 aircraft will land at AIA for the first time directly from Beijing, Chinese and Greek officials told a press conference at the Chinese embassy in Athens on Monday.


The plane with a 237 seating capacity will be from now on connecting Beijing and Athens twice a week, each on Wednesday and Saturday and vice versa without any stopovers.


Since 2011, Air China which opened its offices in Athens back in 2005, was operating a Beijing-Athens line with a short stopover in Munich every Wednesday and Saturday.


The introduction of the direct flights was warmly welcomed by representatives of both sides on Monday as a significant step that will help further advance the Sino-Greek relations, increase the number of visitors in two-way tourism and promote people-to-people exchanges.


"The long expected launch of direct flights between Beijing and Athens on September 30 will contribute to enhancing the status of Greece as a prominent hub of transport and an attractive destination for Chinese tourists," Chinese Ambassador to Greece Zou Xiaoli said at the press conference which was attended by officials from Greek ministries and the tourism industry.


"More importantly it will demonstrate once again to the whole world that with shared commitment and synergy we can make our dreams come true," Zou stressed.


"We are extremely excited to welcome now the direct flight between Beijing and Athens. It is a dream come true and we put great hopes into the development of the China-Greece relations," Athens International Airport CEO Yannis Paraschis told Xinhua.


Despite the difficulties Greece faced during the seven-year debt crisis, it remains a very attractive tourism destination and the AIA has seen between 2013 and 2017 a total passenger growth of 75 percent, he noted.


In order to welcome more Chinese visitors to Greece for business or leisure, the AIA has made preparations to facilitate and accommodate their needs, Paraschis stressed.


On his part, Qiao Shuwen, general manager of Air China's affiliate in Athens, voiced optimism that in a couple of years, thanks to this landmark, the number of Chinese visitors to Greece will double.


"China and Greece have a good relationship and the Chinese government and Greek government have sown the friendship to bring many of the Chinese tourists to Greece... We also want to bring more Greeks to China...This is our target," he told Xinhua.


Greek and Chinese officials have put emphasis on increasing the travelers' flows between the two countries.


Established in 1988 with a fleet of over 600 aircrafts, Air China has been constantly expanding its presence in particular in Europe in recent years and currently is the largest carrier between China and Europe offering about 200 flights each week on 20 routes to European cities.

The other day, someone asked me what it s like to be a work at home mom. I just blinked back at him, my mind blank. How could I possibly describe life as a work at home mom? Only someone who s lived it can understand the juggling act that it requires.

Work at home moms have the usual responsibilities of being a mom folding laundry, scheduling doctor s appointments, helping with homework, reading bedtime stories, and basically being on call 24 hours a day, 7 days each week. In addition to the normal mom duties, there is the conundrum of how to find time to work and answer emails, network, update bookkeeping, make phone calls, and more. And, it must fit into a 24 hour day.

So, how do we do it? How do we stay sane in the chaos?
