Voci pentru România - http://www.vocipentruromania.ro/ . I spread the word about this because it shows that Romania, like many other countries ("your mileage may vary") produces valuable people, too, even if it takes yet another (Western?) country to offer development opportunities for them. Also, a MAXICARD about the aviation pioneer TRAIAN VUIA, a ROMANIAN-and-FRENCH citizen who demonstrated "the first well-documented unassisted takeoff and landing on a level surface by an engine-driven monoplane with a completely wheeled undercarriage"

With my edited (in capital letters and striketrough) translation from translate.google.com [ :) ]:

Voci pentru România

Scopul proiectului “Voci pentru România” este acela de a promova “vocile” profesioniştilor români din diferite domenii care s-au afirmat în ţară şi/sau peste hotare. Urmărim în acest mod facilitarea legăturii dintre tinerii aflaţi la început de drum şi acei profesionişti români care, împărtăşind din experienţa reuşitei lor, pot oferi acestor tineri un model de urmat.
Potenţialul uman reprezintă unul din atu-urile pe care România le are, de aceea membrii echipei  ”Voci pentru Romania” doresc să contribuie,  prin desfăşurarea acestui proiect, la promovarea şi mediatizarea acestui potenţial.
Proiectul “Voci pentru România” este lansat de GRSPSociety (Societatea Globală a Studenţilor şi Tinerilor Profesionişti Români) în colaborare cu Junior Achievement România şi Romstudyabroad. Proiectul se bucură de sprijinul Asociației Patronale a Editorilor Locali, a  Centrului pentru Jurnalism Independent şi a ziarului Evenimentul Zilei."

"Traian Vuia (Romanian pronunciation: [traˈjan ˈvuja]; August 17, 1872 - September 3, 1950) was a Romanian inventor and aviation pioneer who designed, built and flew an early aircraft. 
His first flight traveled about 12 m (40 feet) at Montesson, France on March 18, 1906. 
This was the first well-documented unassisted takeoff and landing on a level surface by an engine-driven monoplane with a completely wheeled undercarriage.[1][2][3]
A French citizen since 1918, Vuia was associated with the French Resistance during World War II. 
He returned to Romania in 1950."

"Vuia then presented his plan to the Académie des Sciences in Paris on February 16, 1903 and was rejected with the comment:
The problem of flight with a machine which weighs more than air can not be solved and it is only a dream.[5]
Undeterred, Vuia applied for a patent which was granted on August 17, 1903 and published on October 16, 1903. He began to build his first flying machine in the winter of 1902–1903. 
Overcoming more financial difficulties, he also started construction of an engine of his own design in autumn 1904 and received a patent for it that year in the United Kingdom."

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
