Cheap power lifts Rusal profit
Related topics
Rusal, the world's largest aluminium producer, is expected to see a substantial drop in fourth-quarter profit margin due to lower prices of the metal, although temporary shutdowns by high-cost producers would limit any further downside.
The company, which is listed in Hong Kong, Paris and Moscow, yesterday posted third-quarter earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) of US$705 million, 25 per cent higher year on year. Net profit jumped to US$432 million from US$29 million. It included profits and losses related to fixed-assets impairment and financial derivative contracts.
'Cost savings on power, corporate overheads and distribution contributed to the better than expected results,' said CLSA head of resources research Andrew Driscoll.
'The challenge is that the 14 per cent decline in current aluminium prices from the third quarter's average would weigh on margins in the fourth quarter.'
London Metal Exchange three-month aluminium futures fell to around US$2,162 a tonne yesterday from a high of US$2,803 in late April.
Driscoll estimated Rusal's fourth-quarter ebitda margin would tumble to mid-teen percentages from 22.3 per cent in the third quarter, even as its electricity cost - partly linked to aluminium prices with a three-month time lag - is expected to continue to fall after a 6 per cent drop in the third quarter from the second quarter.
He said he expected margins to improve next year on the back of firmer aluminium prices and lower industry supply.
'Prices will be flattish with limited downside since a quarter of the world's aluminium-smelting capacity is making losses at current prices,' he said. 'Power shortages and deteriorating industry economics will see lower output from China, which accounts for 40 per cent of global smelting capacity.'
Power accounts for roughly 40 per cent of mainland smelters' operating costs, compared with 28 per cent of Rusal's, which is among the world's lowest-cost producers thanks to abundant and cheap hydro electricity in Siberia.
Analysts expect mainland power prices to go up as soon as consumer price inflation falls back to 5 per cent or lower within the next few months, since power generators have suffered widespread losses amid stubbornly high coal prices. Rising power prices will increase smelters' costs.
Global aluminium production may drop by 10 to 12 per cent - mostly due to cuts in China, Europe and the United States - in the first half of next year if prices maintain at current levels, Bloomberg quoted Rusal first deputy chief executive officer Vladislav Soloviev as saying in Moscow.
Chief financial officer Evgeny Kornilov yesterday told Hong Kong reporters that Rusal would consider acquiring rivals amid the current market downturn - the second in three years - although he said the company's priority was completing two existing smelter projects and one hydropower project.
Its target was to cut net debt-to-ebitda ratio to 3 from around 3.75 currently. Rusal's board had not proposed paying an interim dividend despite a recent debt restructuring unfreezing a dividend ban, as it preferred to pay down its debt amid the global financial market turmoil, Kornilov added.

Tyler Gaffney leaves Stanford as one of the most versatile athletes in school history. Given the school's illustrious history in that department, such a claim certainly carries some weight.
It's justified with a quick examination of the weapons Gaffney featured in his arsenal.
Speed was there. Look no further than his burning 69-yard edge touchdown run to open the Pac-12 Championship Game.
So was agility. Gaffney's opening score at USC in 2011 featured a catch in the flat followed by shake-and-bake and a sideline tightrope job in traffic.
Power? If there were any questions regarding that prior to the 2013 season, there certainly weren't any after it. Gaffney churned out 1,709 rushing yards in Stanford's phone booth offense, racking up a single-game school record 45 carries against stacked boxes in the season's monumental win versus Oregon.
Then there was his ability to pass block, an especially difficult weapon to master. Obstructing a charging opponent while dealing with a 50-pound weight disadvantage is a challenging requirement for running backs in the Stanford system. Gaffney, though, also mastered this art of backfield pass protection.
Oh, and as a bonus, he boasted that whole hand-eye coordination thing, too. Before his remarkable senior football season, Gaffney established himself as a successful professional baseball player: His .483 on-base percentage playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates' single A affiliate in State College, PA put him on track to advance through the minor league ranks.
But even when Gaffney was on the baseball diamond, he brought a decided football flavor to his game. He wasn't afraid of contact in the batter's box: Pitchers drilled him 20 times in 151 plate appearances. While the rugged nature that suited the gridiron perfectly also helped Gaffney succeed in the ballpark, it also screamed the inevitable: One day, no. 25 was going to return to the football field.
It was just a matter of time.
That time came a few weeks after Stanford's 2013 Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin. The magnet of Stanford Stadium had been tugging at Gaffney for some time, and he could no longer resist it. He returned to David Shaw's program just before his eligibility expired and ended up delivering one of the finest rushing seasons in school history to spearhead another Rose Bowl run.
The critical leg of that tear came on November 7, 2013, when Oregon waltzed onto The Farm, thirsty for revenge after the 2012 game at Autzen Stadium, a Stanford overtime win that Gaffney watched from the stands. A year later, Gaffney administered the physical beating himself -- from the field. His 45 carries allowed the Cardinal to eat over 42 minutes of clock.
In a beautiful piece of symmetry, that workhorse performance came four years to the day after Toby Gerhart had smashed the Ducks program with a bruising 38-carry effort of his own. That 2009 masterpiece, which came when Gaffney was one of Gerhart's freshman understudies, announced Stanford's physical arrival on the national scene.
By 2013, Gaffney was no longer the pupil. He made his own November 7 mark, and it reaffirmed Stanford's physical control of the Pac-12 while sending a resounding message: Dominance on the ground was a constant for The Farm.
Of course, plenty happened in Gaffney's college career between those two November 7 milestones. He accounted for 117 of Stanford's rushing yards in the record-breaking 446-yard beatdown of Washington in 2011. He also formed the glue of Mark Marquess' lineup at Sunken Diamond. But that unflinching, bruising, and ultimately triumphant Thursday night against Oregon will live on as the lasting memory of Gaffney's time in a Stanford football uniform. He beat the Ducks into submission that night.
Stanford players dressed as nerds at post game presser pic.twitter.com/dGzcEGhU0E— David Lombardi (@DavidMLombardi) November 8, 2013
Carolina Future
The Carolina Panthers selected Gaffney in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, so he'll immediately enter a crowded backfield that includes DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Kenjon Barner, and fullback Mike Tolbert. It's possible that the Panthers may begin by using Gaffney in goal line situations. They did, after all, have great difficulty scoring there against the San Francisco 49ers in last year's playoff loss.
Many questioned Gaffney's speed leading up to the NFL Draft, but his 4.49 40-yard dash time assuaged worries that likely arose because of Stanford's extreme power running style, characterized by packed-in formations which can limit a back's ability to sprint in the open field. Gaffney himself is more than confident that his speed will transfer to the next level. He's certainly shown the power, durability, and intelligence necessary to put up a strong fight in Carolina's crowded backfield room.

Akko's (Acre) rich maritime history and importance goes back millennia, continuing to make it a top destination while traveling in Israel.
A trip to Akko allows visitors to go back in time and relish the chronicles of its sea-faring legacy. The Egyptians, Ottomans, the Crusaders — and even Napoleon — have all set foot and left their imprint there.
The old cliché of "good things come in small packages" holds true for Akko. If walls could talk, they would tell the many tales of this city's long history. Its romantic atmosphere on the coast, narrow alleys and stone buildings, which haven't changed all that much since they were built centuries ago, take Akko to the top of any to-do list in Israel.
Look at the following sights, among others, when visiting this incredible fortified city.
· Walking Tour of Old Akko's City Wall. Since the region is so compact and easy to get around, visitors have a chance to begin a tour of Akko by first strolling along the ramparts of this city that jets out into the blue waters of the Mediterranean. For great sea and coastal views, start on the western side on Hahaganah Street and walk along the wall toward the old lighthouse.
On a clear day, Mount Carmel, in Haifa, can also be seen in the distance. (Closer still to view, in Akko, are two stunning historical synagogues: the Ramchal temple and Ohr Torah, with its Tunisian markings.)
Continuing along the wall, then down the steps at Doniana Restaurant, Sala Ve Bazri Street leads to Khan al-Umdan (the Hostelry of Columns) and its famous clock tower. A former inn used by caravans, its rooms at the courtyard level were for the animals, while the upper floors accommodated merchants.
Traversing the little alleyways leads to Venice Square and the port that opens up to the sea. Fancy a harbor cruise? The double-decker Akko Queen, which is at the far end of the port, offers a half-hour tour around the tip of Akko.
The Land Wall Promenade, which was constructed after Napoleon's attempt to take the city, is an impressive fortification that can be reached at the steps at the Land Gate.
· Al-Jezzar Mosque: Named after Ahmed al-Jezzar Pasha, the man who brought the city back to life during Ottoman rule in the 18th century, this mosque is not the city's oldest, but it is just as grand.
Easily recognizable by its green domes, towering minaret and Turkish flair, Al-Jezzar is also the final resting place of Al-Jezzar himself, along with his successor, Suleimann and adopted sons. Their sarcophagi can be seen in the small building crowned with the two domes to the right of the mosque.
Facing the garden setting of the inner courtyard, compact rooms behind the marble and limestone Roman columns of the vaulted colonnade once housed madrassa students who, long ago, came here to learn the teachings of Islam and to study Arabic.
· Templar's Tunnel: The tunnel, whose history dates back centuries to the time when the Templar's quarter was taking shape, was discovered by chance in 1994. Its function was to connect a Templar palace with Akko's port. Underground water continues to trickle by while visitors walk the narrow passageway under the carved stone.
· Turkish Baths: After an experience at a Turkish hammam (bathhouse), it can be said that the Turks know how to pamper themselves. Built during the days of Al-Jezzar, Hammam al-Pasha is tucked away in the heart of Akko. A 30-minute show, "The Story of the Last Bath Attendant," also gives visitors a chance to take a look at how Akko's inhabitants used to congregate here to relax, socialize, and enjoy the warm waters and steam rooms amid stunning architecture.
· Eating: Akko, among other cities in Israel, is also noted for its hummus. Family recipes have been passed down from one generation to another, each having its own touch. For a tasty bowl of hummus with meat or fava beans (known as ful), head to Hummus Issa, located on busy Saladin Street, which runs along the arches of the White Market. Keep an eye open for the poster of a father and his young son stirring bowls of the creamy substance.

Top Dirt Of The Day - Wednesday, August 20th, 2014
CHARLIE SHEEN'S Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS was good . . . but DAVE GROHL of the FOO FIGHTERS just blew it out of the water with a very elaborate video, which was inspired by the 1976 horror movie "Carrie".
If you've seen it, you probably know where this is going. In the movie, Carrie is invited to the prom by some dude out of sympathy . . . and the mean girls rig it so that they're named Prom Queen and King.
Then, while they're on stage in front of the crowd, the girls pull on a rope to dump a bucket of pigs' blood they stashed up in the rafters all over Carrie.
In Dave's video, he plays Carrie . . . with a tiara, prom dress and flowers . . . drummer Taylor Hawkins plays her date . . . and fellow Foo Fighters Pat Smear and Nate Mendel play the kids who trigger the bucket drop.
The production value is very high . . . and they even incorporate clips from the actual movie. At the beginning, Dave challenges "Carrie" author Stephen King . . . John Travolta, who was in the movie . . . and Jack Black, well, just because.
Naturally, Dave's bucket is filled with ice water, not blood.
It doesn't quite make it to the part where "Carrie" exacts her revenge by killing everyone, but it does have Taylor getting hit in the head with the bucket, and the repeated line "They're all going to laugh at you!"
(Here's his video . . . and here's the scene from the movie. Dave doesn't reveal how much he's donating, but the video includes a reminder at the end, saying "Remember the reason . . . don't forget to donate after you dry off.")
(As a bonus: For those who like LADIES, Katy Perry did her Ice Bucket Challenge in a black bikini. For those who like DUDES, Trey Songz did his wearing nothing but his briefs.)
(And finally, former "Office" star John Krasinski posted a video of him surprising his wife Emily Blunt by dumping ice water on her as she was carrying some groceries. It would be GREAT . . . but it seems staged.)

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large fennel bulb (about 1 pound), cut into 1/3-inch dice
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 1/2 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
- One 14-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes with their juices, coarsely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage
- 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage
- 3/4 cup orzo
- 2 cups shredded fresh spinach leaves
In a large nonreactive saucepan, heat the oil. Add the fennel and onion; cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the onion is translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Blend in the tomato paste. Add the stock and the tomatoes with their juices. Season with salt and pepper; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a large heavy skillet. Prick the sausages all over with a fork and add to the pan. Cook over moderately low heat, turning, until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Drain on paper towels and let cool slightly. Halve the sausages lengthwise, then cut them into 1/3-inch pieces.
Bring the soup to a boil, add the orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 10 minutes. Add the spinach and sausages and cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted and the sausages are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

Brands have always relied on customer satisfaction to succeed. That hasn't changed. What has changed is the relationship those brands have with their customers. With the ubiquity of the Internet and mobile devices, and the rise of social, that relationship has become much more personal. Consumers now expect the same treatment from brands that they used to only get from a neighborhood store. They expect you to remember who they are, tailor their experience, and give them expert advice and recommendations. They expect to run into their friends at your (virtual) store and be social.
So how did we get here? I see it as the result of three fundamental changes.
From Our Regularly Scheduled Broadcast to a Conversation
Traditionally, marketing campaigns were a series of broadcasted messages for people to discover and learn about products. Brands controlled the timing and sequence of messages. They could determine whom they were speaking to. Any digital marketer today will wistfully tell you that all that has changed.
Today, customers are active participants; they are responding to the messages and helping to shape them. We all have our favorite Internet memes. If yesteryear was the "broadcast era," then with the rise of the consumer Internet, this is now the "conversational era." Customers have a way now of engaging, questioning, and finding a lot of information for themselves. A product is bound to have several conversations taking place about it. This will happen whether a brand wishes to get involved or not. Digital marketers are not informing their customers, they are in a conversation with them.
From a Marketing Funnel to a Customer Journey
Customers no longer follow a linear process in purchasing products and services that were designed for them. The marketing funnel with its distinct stages of awareness, consideration, and conversion is more often than not academic. Today a customer's path or "journey" is more interactive and self-defined. That journey is heavily influenced by others through user-generated content, such as customer reviews, shares on social networks, blogs, YouTube fan videos, and tutorials. What other customers say is much more influential than what the brand says.
From Measuring Conversion Rate to Focusing on Customer Lifetime Value
As a brand's communication with customers changes, how it measures success must also change. We've gone from a transactional one-time view of success—conversion—to an ongoing focus on customer lifetime value. This long-term view makes business sense because it takes into account the cost of acquiring and maintaining the customer (e.g., support calls) and the additional value a happy customer can bring in terms of direct revenue, as well as in terms of indirect revenue by amplifying the brand message with friends and family and influencing the spend of others.
A Brave New Digital World
A brand is as successful as its customers. We, marketers and customers, are all aligned. Although the control of the marketing broadcast, the predictability of the marketing funnel, and the clear-cut measurement of that initial sale are appealing, most marketers, myself included, welcome the focus on the customer experience that digital marketing makes possible.
Today, the change to a conversation has led to real customer insight into their experience with our products and early warning on any potential issues. The change to a customer journey has led to value creation beyond the product to the experience of using it. The change to focus on customer lifetime value has allowed us to attribute business value to former intangibles such as customer satisfaction. And that is a good thing. As a customer, I couldn't agree more.

" Tourist bus that runs in the Spanish city of Barcelona "
First of all I want to be clear this is a review of the Barcelona Bus Turistic ran by Barcelona Turisme. There is another bus service ran by Gray Line and I've noticed a few reviewers getting these two separate services mixed up.
I don't usually use 'hop-on hop-off' bus tours when I travel, but as we only had 2 full days in Barcelona and after reading many positive reviews of these buses being efficiently run, I decided to give it a go. I also thought it would be nice to see more of the city that you don't see when using the metro. As it was December, this meant it wasn't very busy. I've read that in the summer that whilst the service runs more frequently, there are often huge queues and fights for the top deck on the bus.
Firstly, if your planning on using the Bus Turistic then book online before you go. You get 10% off, and you just print off the confirmation then hand it to the rep when you get on the bus to get your tickets, earphones and discount book. Easy!
The map you receive details the three different lines that you can go on. There is a line which only runs in the summer as it covers the beaches in Barcelona, and understandably this area isn't as popular in winter. The first day we did the blue line. The bus was brilliant, and we got on/off at 3 different stops. Each time we never waited long at all for another bus. A few of the headphone sockets didn't work, but when you finally got one to work there was some information provided. It didn't provide indepth information, but it quite often didn't have the time as you whizzed by various places. I had a guide book anyway, so I'd read up on most places of interest. When stuck in traffic though you were made to listen to awful 'lift music.' I can't see why they can't play some local style music?
There is always a rep on the bus and the driver. Both of whom were always very friendly and welcoming you on the bus each time. The rep is quite happy to chat to passengers sat nearby about the city and give recommendations on places to see.
The second day we used the red line and got on/off a few times, though this time we seemed to wait quite a while for the next bus to come along. We decided to go on the blue line again that evening, see the city in the evening and all the christmas lights. We waited in Placa Catalunya for a bus for 25 mins, I appreciate it's not high season but it states buses run every 10-20 mins so this was slightly frustrating.
I would recommend the Turistic Bus, especially if your only in Barcelona for a short stay. To check out which major sights the lines cover, visit the official website: http://www.barcelonabusturistic.cat
I've never been keen on tourist buses and would often snigger at the frozen faces on the open top deck thinking how daft they look. Well I'm proud to say that I was recently one of those passengers and I enjoyed every minute of it. The Barcelona bus is without a doubt one of the best ways to get around the city and take in all the sights. At 20 euro for a 1 day pass or 27 euro for a 2 consecutive day pass it's well worth the money as you can hop in and hop off as many times as you like. Placa de Catalunya is the main place to start your journey and there are ticket booths where you buy your pass then simply jump on a bus. They pass each stop every 15-20 mins so you don't need to be hanging around long at all. The last bus left Placa de Catalunia at 7.30pm and continued round the route.
There are 2 main Barcelona bus routes which leave from Placa de Catalunya - a red route and a blue route. Each route passes by different attractions within the city and these are shown on a map given to you with all the stops shown on it. All the main sights such as Sagrada Familia, Camp Nou, Montjuic park, and Port Vale are included along with a great deal of others which you may never have heard of before. You are also supplied with free headphones which will tell you about what your seeing as you pass and you will be informed of what each stop is for. Each stop has the Barcelona bus marker in the ground so you'll be able to find your way back onto the bus no problem at all. You can switch between the red and blue routes as many times as you want and there is a green route (which was closed at the time I was there) which takes you along the sea front. There is no limit as to how many times you get on or off.
I found that the buses were a rapid way to get around and the stops are superbly placed letting you off right at the door of what you want to see. The top deck can get a little chilly in the winter so a hat, scarve and gloves are a good idea but I can imagine in the warm summer months this brings a welcome relief! Along with the bus driver, there is also a staff member on hand at the door to check your tickets but also to help with any questions you might have. They spoke fluent English as well as Spanish/Catalan and were very friendly. The bus headphones will narrate in numerous different languages too so they really are well catered for tourists.
I recently returned from Barcelona after a five day break there with my fiancee, and besides the fact that i absoloutely love Barcelona, this tour bus is a very worthwhile excursion choice, and a fantastic way to see what the city has to offer. I also thought it might be helpfull to keep people updated with prices, routes etc, as the only reviews on Dooyoo are a little old now, so here goes....
1 day ticket, including unlimited hop-on, hop-off Euro21
2 day ticket, including unlimited hop-on, hop-off Euro27
In my opinion, I would go for the two day ticket if you are planning on seeing a lot of the city, (and have the time) as there is a huge amount to get around to and see, and to be fair if you manage it in one day, you have obviously missed a hell of a lot.
Tickets can be purchased from the many tourist information boothes dotted around the city, and they can also be easily bought from the tour guides on board the busses as well, so dont panic if you suddenly decide you want to use one and havent got a ticket yet.
No matter the option you go for you will have the use of either two or three routes, depending on the time of year you visit.
The Blue (South) and Red (North) routes are in use throughout the year, and are closed for christmas day and new years day only.
The Green route, which is much smaller and runs along the coast as far as the Forum, is only open through from 3rd April until 27th September this year, and im sure the dates will be very similar next year.
The tour Busses run daily from 9am and the last services leave Placa de Catalunya at 9pm (which coincidentally is the start point and centre of the city as well)
There is also a night tour of the city's main sights, which must be pre booked and costs around Euro18, however i didnt do it so cant really vouch for it, although there are some really impressive sights that are very well presented and lit up at night so it might well be worth it.
What you get:
Well, firstly you get the use of the numerous busses, that run every 10 minutes or so from the 44 stops around the city. Next, you will get a guide book which is actually very informative, has a good map in it for locating the popular tourist hot spots, giving you a little background of them all to boot. You also get a large fold out map that is also very good for use when you arent on the bus, and also a lovely bright blue pair of headphones for use on board the busses (more about these in a bit).
Lastly you will get a discount voucher book, which is allegedly worth Euro180 (as in possible savings, not actual value).
The Bus:
Clean , modern busses, that are air conditioned downstairs, and upstairs, they are open topped. they are fitted with a mono tour guide sound system, that covers English, Spanish, Catalan, German, French, Japanese, Polish, Czech, Swiss, Italian, and Portugese. To use the system you simply plug in the free headphones and select the corresponding channel to the language you require.
The quality of the information is very good, and very well spoken and timed for the tour.
Each of the blue and red routes takes about an hour and a half to run full circle, and the green route about 40 minutes.
The sights:
I wont list them all as i think they each deserve a review in their own right but the most popular and therfore busiest and most crowded are the following; The Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, La Pedrera, The Gothic Cathedral and Park Guell. In the evenings, the Magic fountains which are in front of the Royal palace at Placa d'Espanya are hugely popular and fill up for every performance (thousands of people), however this is one of the few truely free sights and is well worth seeing. The beaches are also very popular not only with tourists, but the local students as well.
I would reccommend that you allow at least 2-3 hours for each of them as you will probably have to queue to get in and they do have a lot to see at each.
If I am totally honest, I didnt go to Barcelona's Camp Nou, so I cant say how busy it was inside, but a lot of people did get off to see the ground...
Some of the Lesser busy sights, or rather the ones that seem less crowded are Mount Tibidabo, which has the Church of Jesus and the sacred heart, as well as the Funicular railway, and Tramvia Blau, not to mention a theme park on five floors (sounds strange i know). Poble Espanyol can be great in the early evening, as is the Monastir de Pedralbes. Another much overlooked sight is the Parc de la Ciutadella, which houses the Barcelona Zoo, which is also a great place. it has huge open green spaces and some lovely sights. Gracia is also a great place to just mooch about and soak up the local culture and architecture.
The Negatives:
Although the tour bus is very clean and efficient, this is very much the New York of Spain, and full of tourists, so there is never an empty bus... and sometimes you will be sitting downstairs missing a lot of the sights. as they tower above the bus. This is something that im sure most people would expect, but none the less it is a negative aspect i thought warranted a mention, and also an opportunity for a tip.
If you want to avoid the crowds waiting to board the busses at laces like Placa de Catalunya, take a quick stroll to the MACBA-CCCB (or Museum d'Art) and board there.
I hope this gives you a better idea of what to expect in Barca, and hope anyone visiting after reading this is a little more wise for it!
I have often smiled, perhaps unkindly, when looking at these open-top buses for tourists in Edinburgh. There is something amusing about a bunch of tourists sitting on top of a bus getting a running commentary of the main sights
So, if there is something to this karma business, a few Barcelonans probably had a quiet chuckle at me sitting atop the Bus Turístic. Yes, even though I had always promised myself I would never be one of these tourists, it seemed the right thing to do in Barcelona
And let's face it, unlike in Edinburgh, we were unlikely to get wet!
You can buy a one or two day ticket. These are available on board the bus, at tourist offices or online (www.tmb.net).
It cost 18 for one day and 22 for two (consecutive) days for adults, and 11 and 14 respectively for children of 4 to 12 years old. Younger children go free.
This gives you unlimited access to two (three in summer) lines, stopping at 44 places of interest. You can get on and off as many times as you like. You will also be issued with a small information guide giving you brief information about every stop and more importantly, a handy discount voucher booklet giving you reduced entry to many visits. The trick is to remember to use it.
~Our experience~
The two main lines covered by this company (the only two I will talk about as I didn't travel on the green line) cover different parts of Barcelona. They overlap for a few stops to allow travellers to switch easily. Following the advice given in our guide book, we bought the 2 day ticket, the first day being spent getting an overview of the city and finding our bearings, and the second to travel to places we wanted to visit. This way of proceeding held both benefits and disadvantages. The first day certainly did give us an idea of what the city had to offer and helped us decide the programme for the week. It also went a long way towards familiarising us with the layout of the place, as Barcelona is not particularly difficult to get around. But as we did both the blue and red line in that first day, we ended up spending about 4 hours on top of a bus, at the end of which we found we suffered from a very bad case of 'numb bum'. The second day, although only costing an extra 4 each, was not as useful as we had hoped, as the buses go around in loops, and you have to go right round before getting back to where you started.
Most people catch the bus on the Plaça de Catalunya, the city's nerve centre. Here you can get onto both the blue and red line. This can lead to lengthy queues to get on the buses, unless you get there early. The buses run between 9.00 - 9.30 am and 7.00 pm in winter, 8.00 pm in summer. If you start off a little late, my advice is to catch the bus from a different stop. They are easily identified once you have seen the eye symbol that is at each stop. The buses run every 5 minutes in the high season, falling to every 25 minutes in the winter.
On board, along with the driver, each bus has a guide who as well as selling passes, provides a running commentary in about 4 languages: Spanish, Catalan, English, and another, either French or German. They also make sure tourists are seated on the top deck, an important safety consideration. The guide's language skills are excellent, in what must be a very demanding task, switching constantly as they do from language to language. The commentary itself is pretty basic and changes from guide to guide. One guy was really quite funny. When one of the American tourists downstairs asked if Park Güell was worth visiting, he went off on a rant that sounded more like Basil Faulty doing stand-up than someone giving tourist advice. You had to be there I guess, but my husband and I were shaking with laughter upstairs. And he was right We would have been total idiots not to visit. All the guides we came across were very pleasant and helpful.
~The blue route~
I will not go through everything the buses take you to, just a few highlight.
<%> The 1992 Olympic Ring
<%> The Fundació Joan Miró houses in a striking building a very important collection of works by this challenging artist who could express his poetic universe through a huge variety of media, painting, sculpture, ceramic, tapestry
<%> La Ribera district, with the beautiful church of Santa Maria del Mar, a fine example of Catalan Gothic architecture, and the Museu Picasso, a must-see.
<%> The Barri Gòtic, the cradle of the city of Barcelona, with a wealth of Roman remains.
~The red route~
<%> This route takes you past several buildings by Antoni Gaudí, a modernista architect (the movement known as Art Nouveau elsewhere), and Barcelona's most famous son after Picasso. Barcelona could be called Gaudi city, so numerous are his legacies and so representative of the city. The high vantage point is a huge bonus to see some of the landmarks, such as the Sagrada Família (or 'Sangria Familia', as we overheard one tourist call it ), or the Park Güell, the Casa Batló and the Casa Milà (known as La Perdrera).
<%> The Nou Camp stadium, a must for any self-respecting football fan.
~My opinion~
Despite feeling like such a tourist at the time, I am glad we started our stay in Barcelona the way we did, although with the benefit of hindsight, I would probably do things a bit differently, perhaps do one of the routes the first day, visiting one or two of the places on the way, and the other route the next day. If you had only quite a short stay, I don't think you would want to give more than half a day to sitting on top of a bus.
When on the gallery at the top of the bus, remember to sit down at all times. Not only could you fall overboard, but the bus also goes under a couple of very low tunnels which you don't see in advance. Remember to be prepared for the weather and have sun cream available, as the motion of the bus stops you realising just how hot the sun is, but also a warm top, as when the sun goes down or you are in a shaded avenue, it can get quite chilly.
Go on, be a tourist!

If you look at the front and then the back, then contradiction comes into play. It means that the back side is true that this is false, but that means both sides are false. To do this paradox for myself, I used an index card to do it. I came up with "Both sides are false." Any other points?

Your mother always said not to buy what you can't afford – and the case of Tim DeChristopher explains why.
In 2008, when George W. Bush's administration sought to auction off several drilling leases before Barack Obama took office, DeChristopher bid on a series of oil leases on 22,000 acres near Arches and Canyonlands national parks in Utah valued at $1.7 million. The catch is, he never intended to pay for them. He said he bid up the auctions to prevent oil companies from ruining the environment in the area, which hosts some of Utah's most awe-inspiring wonders. DeChristopher terms it civil disobedience. The Justice Department, however, calls it fraud.
One federal prosecutor calculated that DeChristopher's actions drove up the price of the leases by $300,000, causing one bidder to lose more than $600,000 and depriving the Bureau of Land Management, which owned the drilling rights, of more than $900,000. Incidentally, the auctions were later declared invalid and all sales nullified – meaning none of the parties actually lost any money.
For the act, DeChristopher was sentenced to two years in prison, a $10,000 fine and three years of probation, much to the chagrin of environmental activists. The environmentalist's supporters argue that the justice department should have dropped the charges or gone easy on DeChristopher because his actions didn't actually harm BLM or oil investors. They allege that the government pursued such a strong sentence only because it was acting on behalf of oil company interests, protecting big oil corporations' profits over the people's desire to save the environment.
The judge, however, pointed out that DeChristopher's actions were illegal, no matter what the context. "I'm not saying there isn't a place for civil disobedience. But it can't be the order of the day." Federal prosecutors also argued that a harsh sentence would deter others who might want to follow in DeChristopher's auction-fixing footsteps.
Is this a case of little guy versus corporate behemoth? Or is this more like an arrogant kid thumbing his nose at the man, the law and anyone who stands to benefit from their rule? Those supporting DeChristopher have already come out with comparisons to Rosa Parks, Ghandi and other protest leaders who used civil disobedience to draw attention to monumental wrongs governments were perpetrating.
I think that goes too far. Rosa Parks dared to sit at the front of the bus, something she should have had the right to do. Other civil rights leaders sat in at counters they should have had the right to sit at. Ghandi sold salt he should have been allowed to traffic. Regardless of what you think about the morality of drilling in Utah, there's no way to argue that buying something without intending to pay for it – ie, breaking a contract – is a fair principle the American justice system is failing to uphold.
Indeed, civil disobedience does not merely require that one break any law to make a point; it requires that one break an unjust law. The federal provision governing auction fraud is, unfortunately for DeChristopher, not an unjust one.
So while DeChristopher's supporters celebrate him as a hero, they might want to take a look back at the lives of the people they're comparing him to. They might not see much of a resemblance.

Graduating on-time and Morris Women
Things worked out in the end regarding my class scheduling. I am going to graduate in mid-July of 2012. Its exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. I enjoy my school and being a part of the RMU community. Its also nice to finish something that I worked hard on for the past few years.
Other exciting news, Morris Women has been approved by RMU as an official student organization. Lots of work and help went into organizing Morris Women and getting final approval. I thank everyone who believed in the idea and helped accomplish this goal. Now its time to start planning events, forums, panels, and helping the RMU community. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions about events or programs they would like to see please let me know that would be deeply appreciated. You can send an e-mail to me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Other than that, just trying to survive the weather and get through the last few weeks of classes! Keep warm everyone and be safe! Cheers!

The Oscars!
A customary Sunday pastime in February, besides the Super bowl, is the Oscars. I always try to catch the Oscars, despite having other things to do, like homework and blogging. I love to watch Hollywood and all the glitz and glamour that make the Oscars entertaining. The fashions on the red carpet, which famous designer are the actors or actresses wearing, the expensive jewels that sparkle and shine, and the magic that makes Hollywood. I am not the only one who shares this fascination and interest in the Oscars. All over the city of Chicago, bars and homes are hosting Oscar parties. Attendees can dress in formal wear just like the real red carpet. This Sunday night, I am watching the Oscars with family (and no formal wear, just PJs).
Real Life @ RMU
NinaProgram: Master of Business Administration Hometown: Chicago, IL Campus: Chicago
This quarter seems like finals are spread out over the final two weeks of the quarter. There is an overwhelming amount of work to be done in preparation for finals.
As a result, there is also a great deal of stress. Just think I am juggling two classes and a full-time job. So there is going to be some stress involved there. I think I even noticed a few more grey hairs.
So, how is one supposed to manage and deal with this kind of stress. Well, one way that used to help me deal with stress and test anxiety was to smoke a cigarette before the actual test (I know, I know, this is a terrible habit, but I would only smoke one before the test and throw the rest of the pack out). However, since RMU became a smoke free facility, there goes that method of stress relief.
So, I looked into another method and decided to try Yoga. Yoga proved to be quite frustrating and I think caused more stress. The transitioning from Warrior pose 1 to downward dog is quite difficult. I lost my balance a few times and fell over. I now have a few bruises on my elbow and ego. Hence I quickly abandoned that method.
Currently, I have yet to find a method for stress relief. I will just have to employ deep breathing methods to get me by.
I wish everyone good luck on their finals! Stay tuned for upcoming events from the Morris Women!

San Jose (6-4-4) vs. Galaxy (12-2-3) at Home Depot Center, 7:30 p.m., ESPN2
Update: MLS commissioner Don Garber put the kibosh on any thought of allowing the transfer of Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan, but that won't stop the talk. The latest is Manchester City admitting interest in acquiring Donovan. And meantime, the Galaxy are reportedly considering AC Milan's Ronaldinho could be worth as much as $24million for a move to Home Depot Center. ... Donovan scored on a penalty kick and Edson Buddle scored his league-leading 11th goal in Sunday's 2-1 road win over D.C. United. ... Only the Galaxy and Real Salt Lake have not had a player pick up a red card this season. ... Coach Bruce Arena has some personnel decisions to make next week. The Galaxy open CONCACAF Champions League play against the Puerto Rico Islanders at home on Tuesday, but the next night, the club's four All-Stars - Donovan, Buddle, Omar Gonzalez and Donovan Ricketts will be at the MLS All-Star Game in Houston. Arena will coach the MLS stars against Manchester United. ... Chris Wondolowski leads San Jose with six goals, but has not scored in his last four matches. Bobby Convey has eight assists for the Earthquakes, which ranks him second in MLS behind Donovan's 10.

As a teacher he was both popular and successful, and when he succeeded to J-H Hassenfratz's chair of physics at the École Polytechnique in 1815, after a year as assistant professor, he extended and improved the courses in his subject.Petit married the sister of François Arago and the Petit and Arago collaborated on experiments on the refraction of light in gases. In particular, they examined the effect of temperature on the refractive index of gases. Petit had been taught physics at the École Polytechnique of a conventional nature. In particular he had been taught that light was composed of corpuscles, so it is not surprising that in 1814-15, when he himself was teaching physics at the École, he was presenting the same views to his students as those he had been taught. His work with Arago in 1815, however, made him take a different view on the nature of light and in December of that year he stated his position as a believer in the wave theory of light.
Petit worked with Pierre Louis Dulong from 1815 with the aim of submitting an entry for the 1818 Grand Prix of the Academy of Sciences which had been set on the topic of thermometry and the laws of cooling. In 1818 Petit and Dulong won the Academy Prize for their work on the law of cooling but at this stage they had now yet discovered the Dulong-Petit law for which they are best known. Their prize essay reported on their [1]:-
... classic experimental investigation, which established the gas thermometer as the only reliable standard and put the approximate nature of Newton's law of cooling beyond all doubt.The following year he published the Dulong-Petit law on the theory of heat. The two scientists formulated an empirical law concerning the specific heat of elements which states that the specific heat of all elements is the same on a per atom basis. The law has exceptions and was not fully understood until quantum theory was used. However, it gave chemists, who at that time were having difficulty determining atomic weights and distinguishing them from equivalent weights, a means of estimating the approximate weight of an element merely by measuring its specific heat.
In 1818 Petit also published on the general principles of machine theory. This work, in addition to his exceptional doctoral thesis, showed that he was at least as great a mathematician as he was experimental physicist. Sadly, however, Petit did not live to make further scientific discoveries [1]:-
His last years ... were clouded by grief and illness; shortly after the death of his young wife, in 1817, he contracted tuberculosis, the disease from which he died.Despite his short life (he was only 28 years old when he died) he had already been honoured with election to the Societé Philomatique. He died too young to have made it to the Academy of Sciences but there is little doubt that his election would have come soon given the exceptional quality of his work.

When Jorge Martire met his wife-to-be, Maria Laura, he omitted to mention that he had recently gone through hell in the Falklands.
The couple had three children, and Mr Martire found a job at a local government office in La Plata, south of Buenos Aires, while studying to become an architect.
Then in 1992, a decade after the end of the conflict in the Falklands, something inside him snapped.
"He got lost one day," his widow recalled. "And when he came home he couldn't recognise anybody. Not me. Not his daughter.
"He was very afraid of storms and rain and noises. His hands and feet started to get old and wrinkly. Then he lost his sight. He was looking but he couldn't see anything. He was lost."
In his hospital bed, being treated for atypical psychosis - known by veterans as "Malvinas syndrome" after the Argentine name for the islands - it all finally came flooding out.
He told me how he had been hungry and thirsty. They were terrified," Maria Laura remembered. "Under cover but always wet. And all the time it was dark. Really dark with flashes of bombs and guns."
On March 1, 1993, he slipped out of the hospital and bought a gun. Then he had a coffee in a bar, and afterwards walked into the lavatory and shot himself.

If visa isn't granted, Red Bulls will drop pursuit of Rodgers on Saturday
By Kristian R. Dyer
BigAppleSoccer.com Contributing Editor
UPPER MONTCLAIR, N.J. The countdown for the possible return of Luke Rodgers is perhaps drawing to a close, but maybe not in the way Red Bulls fans would be hope.
With a self-imposed deadline of the end of June for an answer on his visa status, coach Hans Backe and the Red Bulls are eyeing the clock as they wait for his approval to return to MLS.
When asked last week, New Yorks management was hopeful of an answer this week on the visa situation regarding the player. Rodgers, who was denied his visa for re-entry to the United States after playing his first season in MLS last year, had recently re-filed his paperwork to continue his playing career with the Red Bulls. The club continues to wait for an answer from the state department on his most recent visa application.
We havent gotten an answer yet, Backe said.
Also frustrating because we just need it before the end of June but also for Luke himself to find a club in England when the transfer window opens; he cant just wait and not play.
The forward had been playing in Norways top division this spring to maintain his fitness and he is currently in England right now, training on his own. Backe did voice concerns over core injuries Rodgers picked up in Norway, saying that we cant get a player who will arrive and need treatment for a month or something like that.
Complicating the matter further, Backe said that he must have an answer by the end of June or else he will have to drop his pursuit of Rodgers for this season.
As far as other options to bolster the Red Bulls depth at forward, Backe said that theres not really any names that have surfaced right now.
The thing is to try and look at other clubs and try to make a trade or whatever it is, Backe said.
Thats probably the way we have to do it."

Lea Thompson
Jump to
Curiously renowned for playing an adorably randy teenager who attempted to seduce her own time-traveling son, Leah Thompson became a cinematic darling of the 1980s. A native Midwesterner who fell in love with dance at an early age, Thompson broke into the arts as a ballerina. When a career en pointe did not pan out, undaunted, she moved to New York and in relatively short time began raising eyebrows. Her fresh-scrubbed, all-American good-looks won her largely teen parts in a series of archetypal Eighties films, such as "All the Right Moves" (1983), "Red Dawn" (1984), "Some Kind of Wonderful" (1987) and "Back to the Future" (1985); the latter a blockbuster that would see her recur the role of Lorraine McFly, the mother of Michael J. Fox's hapless cross-time adventurer, throughout the trilogy. Her star would fade into less auspicious film work and supporting roles until, in 1995, she crossed over into series television as lead with the sitcom, "Caroline in the City" (NBC, 1995-99). In the 2000s, she re-established a serial presence on cable in the Hallmark Channel "Jane Doe" movie franchise, playing a suburban housewife drawn back into her old profession as a government agent. Known for a sparkling, dimpled smile, Thompson etched a lasting imprint as an accessible, Ivory Girl-esque dreamboat for young male moviegoers of the 1980s, going on to create a template for successfully shifting career gears when her cinematic halcyon days ebbed.

The flow field of a typical airblast injector was studied using PIV. The air-water flow field was documented with 2D PIV and the air-alone flow at four streamwise locations with stereo PIV> The results show that for a fixed air-water mass ratio, volume flow rate has a negligible effect on the dispersion angle, but a considerable effect on the mean velocity field. The stereo PIV measurements indicate the presence of a region of reversed flow at the injector centerline which initially increases and persists downstream though considerably reduced in size and magnitude. The findings have significant implications for combustor design and can be used to optimize airblast injectors for efficient fuel mixing.

Woman Thou Art Free - Poem by Mysia Hayling
To be a woman there are certain characteristics that you embody
That set you apart, ain't nothing like a strong woman with a good heart.
Some say they curse the day God made woman, but only God understand that he created it
for us to see the good and the bad, life for some without a woman is really sad.
The woman was made to feel the pain and the man to work the land.
But in everything God had a plan.
Women have come a long way from the kitchen to the runway.
Women have broken down all barriers,
and have proven to be able to compete at all levels, so much that it marvels.
Women's long battle for equality and right have gotten them to unite.
Their strength and unity have given them the courage to embrace every opportunity
under the social and economical horizon;
they are now prospering over the men in the dozens.
They now take full advantage for all the times they've been denied passage.
Women have become leaders, more than conquerors,
strong educators, powerful motivators and labourers.
Yet women have not forgotten their role in the home, though some are not full-time.
A little independence is not a crime. But still they are able to make the house a home,
put food on the table, keep their lives stable
for at the end of the day, at home is where their hearts will always stay
so we thank God for Women's Day.
International Women's Day 2012

At least 13 people were killed and 20 injured after a bomb tore through a venue in the northeast Nigerian town of Damaturu where fans had gathered to watch a World Cup match.
Some people at the scene told Reuters an attacker dropped a device in front of the venue on Tuesday night in the town of Damaturu and ran off, while others said it was the work of a suicide bomber.
No one claimed responsibility for the blast, but Damaturu and the surrounding Yobe state are at the heart of a five-year-old insurgency by Islamist group Boko Haram.
The group was blamed for a an attack on another venue screening matches in the north-eastern state of Adamawa that killed at least 14 people and wounded 12..
A Reuters reporter at Damaturu's General Sani Abacha Specialist Hospital counted 13 people dead – including small children – and at least 20 wounded.
The Nigerian government has advised people to avoid gathering in public to watch the World Cup, concerned about potential attacks.
Many fans in football-mad Africa rely on informal venues – often open-sided structures with televisions set up in shops and side streets – to watch live coverage of the sport.
Boko Haram – whose name roughly translates as "Western education is sinful" – has declared war on all signs of what it sees as corrupting Western influence.
The group has killed thousands in its push to carve out an Islamic state in religiously-mixed Nigeria.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Would non-compete still apply in such a case, if the employee quits before working in the new role?
That would depend on whether the non-compete was a condition imposed solely upon your taking the new position or whether the provision was broader in scope to encompass any position within the company. You should consult an attorney specialized in contract or employment law. Best of luck.
The above is NOT legal advice, and is NOT intended to be legal advice. No Attorney-Client relationship is created through the above answer.Ask a similar question
I'm not entirely clear on the facts and your question based on what you wrote here. Regardless of whether the employer terminates the employee or if the employee quits, the covenant not to compete may still apply. However, because each of these contracts / covenants / clauses are different you should try to meet with an employment attorney to discuss the situation. Some of these agreements are overly broad anyways, so sitting down with an attorney to discuss your situation is probably in your best interest.
My responses to questions on Avvo or other internet sites are never intended as legal advice and must not be relied upon as legal advice. I give legal advice only in the course of an attorney-client relationship. Exchange of information through Avvo does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me or anyone at my firm. That relationship is established only by individual consultation and execution of a written agreement for legal services which I provide to my clients.Ask a similar question
What you ask is probably addressing what's called the "consideration" part of the non-compete. These tend to be widely variable and as such there is no general answer which will be helpful. You should bring the non-compete to an attorney for review.
Do you want accurate, personalized, legal advice that you can rely on? You will have to hire an attorney, not ask on Avvo. I am not your attorney and am not creating an attorney-client relationship by this post. I am therefore giving only general advice. This advice may not apply to you or your situation; may not take account of all possibilities, and may not match the advice I would give to a client. DO NOT rely on this advice or any other advice on Avvo to make your legal decisions. If you want an answer to a legal question you should retain an attorney who is licensed in your state.Ask a similar question
It is my position that there is no contract. The only exception may be a disclosure of confidential information during the interview process. One would have to review the agreement, however.

One would need to review the contract to be sure, but it sounds to me as though employment would be a condition precedent to the non-compete taking effect, and if the employee never starts working in the new position then the contract is of no force and effect. This of course is based on the information which you've provided and one would have to review the contract and ascertain all pertinent facts in order to provide you with a proper legal opinion.

Courts in Massachusetts scrutinize non-competes pretty closely - particularly when the employer has not, through training or on the job experience, imparted a unique and valuable skill to the employee.

- Causation Cards
- Teacher's Directions
Causation cards are a fun, interactive way to review vocabulary and concepts that students need to learn. In addition, this engaging activity helps improve fluency and listening skills.
So how do causation cards work? The method is similar to the "I have… who has…" cards, where each student has to listen carefully to other students to know when it is their turn. However, causation cards do not contain a repeated language (like "I have… who has…"). Instead it will state an action that a student must perform and a statement they must say. The action can be something simple from jumping in the air to drawing on the board. The statement can be a definition of a term or related concept.
This activity is a great resource for practicing those all important speaking and listening skills while building fluency. This resource is a great way to improve student's reading accuracy, prosody, and fluency rate. Have the class read through the set of cards multiple times giving each student a different card each time or read to each other by taking turns.
In this resource, you will find the following concepts:
Food Chains; Food Webs; Herbivores, Omnivores; Carnivores; Producers; Consumers (Primary, Secondary, & Tertiary); Decomposers;
This resource contains 28 cards for larger class sizes and low ink for your printing needs.
This activity can be used as a quick review or as an introduction. You can challenge students to go through the entire set as fast as they can or to beat their previous record.

Adelaide, Australia (UPI) Oct 18, 2013
Some ancient human relatives somehow managed to cross one of the world's widest marine barriers in Indonesia to interbreed with modern humans, scientists say.
Genetic analysis suggests the Denisovans -- named for the Denisova cave in the Altai Mountains in northern Asia where the first fossil evidence was found -- interbred with modern humans moving through the area on the way to Australia and New Guinea.
However, Denisovan DNA appears to be rare or even absent in current populations on mainland Asia, even though this is where the fossil was found, researchers said.
"In mainland Asia, neither ancient human specimens, nor geographically isolated modern Indigenous populations have Denisovan DNA of any note, indicating that there has never been a genetic signal of Denisovan interbreeding in the area," said Alan Cooper of the University of Adelaide's Australian Center for Ancient DNA.
This pattern can be explained if the Denisovans had succeeded in crossing the so-called Wallace's Line, one of the world's largest biogeographic barriers formed by a powerful marine current along the east coast of Borneo.
Wallace's Line, marking the division between European and Asian mammals to the west from marsupial-dominated Australasia to the east, is named for British naturalist Alfred Wallace, who along with Charles Darwin conceived the theory of evolution through natural selection.
"The only place where such a [Denisovan] genetic signal exists appears to be in areas east of Wallace's Line and that is where we think interbreeding took place -- even though it means that the Denisovans must have somehow made that marine crossing."
The finding Denisovans spread beyond this significant sea barrier opens all sorts of questions about the behaviors and capabilities of this group, and how far they could have spread, the researchers said.
"The key questions now are where and when the ancestors of current humans, who were on their way to colonize New Guinea and Australia around 50,000 years ago, met and interacted with the Denisovans," Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum in London said.
"The conclusions we've drawn are very important for our knowledge of early human evolution and culture," he said.
