Air Berlin says looking at all options for restructuring

imageFRANKFURT: Air Berlin said it is looking at all options, including its business model, as it prepares to launch a fundamental restructuring aimed at restoring the loss-making airline to profitability.
"Work is in full swing on all elements of our restructuring programme," Chief Executive Wolfgang Prock-Schauer told analysts on Thursday after the group reported first-quarter results and said it needed "fundamental change" to ensure long-term profitability.
The German airline, in which Gulf carrier Etihad owns a 29.2 percent stake, has reported annual losses for five out of the past six years after fast expansion left it saddled with debt.
It had already announced plans to cut costs and 10 percent of its workforce under its Turbine restructuring programme, but after asking shareholders last month for more funds it said the programme was not enough and has called on consultants to help it to develop new, deeper measures.
"We have assembled an additional package of measures and will define a strategic realignment," Prock-Schauer wrote in Thursday's quarterly report.
Analysts have long called for Air Berlin to rethink its business model, a mix of charter routes to holiday destinations such as Majorca, plus short-haul point-to-point traffic and some long-haul routes.
Late on Wednesday it reported first-quarter results showing a slightly narrower operating loss of 182.8 million euros ($250.6 million), revenue down 3.8 percent, net debt of 800 million euros and negative equity - where debts exceed its assets - of 399 million euros.
"No improvement and negative equity of about 400 million euros.
Where is the viable business model?" one Frankfurt-based trader asked on Thursday.
Etihad, which has provided Air Berlin with a shareholder loan, bought a majority stake in its frequent-flyer programme and last month subscribed to 300 million euros of perpetual convertible bonds, has also called for an "accelerated and fundamental restructuring" of Air Berlin.
Prock-Schauer said on Thursday that it is too early to give details of how the restructuring could look but added that Air Berlin is moving away from a phase of capacity cuts and expects growth in passenger numbers and revenue this year.

The Most Confusing Cities On Earth Are Perfect For Getting Lost

Sometimes you just need to put your map away and get lost.
Losing your way in an unfamiliar city is something we all fear, but it also can be the very best way to explore and discover things you would never have seen if you stuck to your guidebook.
These seven cities have puzzling layouts that baffle even the most experienced travelers. Check them out below.
Boston
boston
Boston's layout harkens back to America's early days, making it incredibly charming and completely mind-boggling. The majority of the city's winding streets aren't gridded in any particular fashion, confusing pedestrians and drivers alike.
Venice 
venice
Canals, bridges, narrow curving streets, dead-ends... Venice is the mother of all confusing cities. Wander off from the tourist areas, take in the beauty and let the maze-like streets guide you. You may end up discovering a pocket of Venice you'd never have encountered.
Washington, D.C.
washington dc aerial
Washington's layout may be grid-like, but it's still tough to navigate. Streets can be numbered, lettered or named after a state, and they intersect in the most bizarre ways. Traffic circles and one ways plague drivers and cyclists, while pedestrians can easily get confused by strange street quirks, like the fact that there is no "J" street and "I" and "Eye" street are the same thing.
Tokyo
tokyo
Tokyo can be very disorienting. The city's fast pace, flickering lights and eye-catching scenery can make it very easy to veer off track. And that's not a bad thing... you can see a whole 'nother side of Tokyo by getting off the beaten path. The Japanese address system is also unique and hard to get a hang of, so there's a good chance you'll get lost even if you know where you're going.
Marrakesh
marrakesh
Marrakesh is a crowded maze of old-world streets, dizzying markets and all kinds of unfamiliar sites (snake charmers, anyone?). Marrakesh's medina is a labyrinth of streets and alleyways, and roaming them freely is the best way to absorb the city and admire its unique art and architecture.
Amsterdam
amsterdam aerial
Amsterdam is lovely, but much like Venice, it's canal-centric layout can be very perplexing... and that's not a bad thing. Wandering or biking along the canals, with no particular destination in mind, is the perfect way to stumble upon unique nooks of the city.
Ho Chi Minh City
ho chi minh city
Ho Chi Minh is a "conundrum" of a city. It's unique, fast-paced and filled with hidden wonders. The city is known for its many alleys, which can be particularly difficult for newcomers to navigate.

I cannot sit here next to this black man

A 50-something year old white woman arrived at her seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to a black man. Disgusted, the woman immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The woman said "I cannot sit here next to this black man." The flight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another seat." After checking, the flight attendant returned and stated "Ma'am, there are no more seats in economy, but I will check with the captain and see if there is something in first class." About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated "The captain has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be some sort of scandal to force a person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, the captain agreed to make the switch to first class." Before the woman could say anything, the attendant gestured to the black man and said, "Therefore sir, if you would so kindly retrieve your personal items, we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as the captain doesn't want you to sit next to an unpleasant person." Passengers in the seats nearby began to applause while some gave a standing ovation.

7 Tips for Young Women From a Flight Attendant - Sara Keagle

2014-05-13-kara.jpg
1. WANDER. Are you feeling lost? You should be... you're young. I had always envied those who knew their passions early on; looking back I was lucky to be able to explore and find out who I am and what I love at the same time. Skip the worry and...
2. SKIP SCHOOL. Yes, I said it. If number one applies to you, should you really spend a small fortune on expensive colleges or universities? We live in a different world now; the internet is changing our need for brick and mortar institutions. So, unless you know that your career of choice requires that piece of paper, skip it. At least for now.
3. TRAVEL. Wondering what you should do instead of school? Travel! It's not impossible. Figure out the most realistic way you can make it happen. You can become a flight attendant, you could live at home and save first or you can work your way around the globe. There are many of us who have come before you and loads of resources to help you make it happen. The wonderful world wide web can help make it all possible.
4. SEEK KNOWLEDGE. Just because you are not in a formal setting doesn't mean you can't learn. I am grateful to have literally put my hands on art history by visiting museums like the Louvre, The Rijksmuseum, The Vatican and so many more. "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn." -- Benjamin Franklin
5. DISCOVER YOU. Younger and older women alike are often smitten by men that show them attention. It's natural, but I think sometimes we end up falling in love with someone we would not have necessarily picked for ourselves had they not paid us that attention. The advice we older women usually give is to "find yourself and figure out who you are first." This is wonderful advice. To that I would add, ask yourself two questions, "Do I really like him?" and "What about him makes him worthy of me?"
6. BE CONFIDENT. One thing we don't always realize as young women is how attractive we really are. For some reason, we tend to be very critical of ourselves. We look FABULOUS in our 20s! Looking back at photos of myself in my 20s as a 40-something, I can't find a bad one. Trust me, I've never met a 20-something that doesn't look good freshly rolled out of bed in the morning. Enjoy it... it requires a little more work later on.
7. BE SAFE. Being adventurous and being stupid is not the same thing. Have fun, travel and get lost in the world, but do it in a safe way. If possible have a travel companion. Make sure people know where you are, always carry a cell phone with you and read up on places before you go. Knowing the culture of a place and respecting it can go a long way to keeping you safe. Don't take drinks from strangers, and don't do drugs. Foreign prisons are not the new youth hostel. Lastly, listen to your instincts. Your gut is always right!

New Harry Potter Ride At Universal Orlando Will Be 'Escape from Gringotts'

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The centerpiece of the new Harry Potter-themed area at Universal Orlando Resort will take visitors into Gringotts bank to help retrieve a magical object and re-create a scene from the wildly popular book and movie series.
Universal executives announced Tuesday that the ride will be called "Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts." It re-creates a scene from the final Harry Potter book and film.
"It takes you into one of the great moments of the fiction," said Mark Woodbury, president of Universal Creative.
The ride and the themed area — called the Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Diagon Alley — will open in the summer. It will double the size of the Harry Potter landscape in the park.
Among the features of the new ride: a 60-foot dragon atop Gringotts Wizarding Bank, a labyrinth of Gringotts vaults, and a marble hall with goblins. Riders will be taken into a world as part of a quest to retrieve a magical object to defeat Lord Voldemort.
The ride will use 360-degree themed sets, digital high-definition animation, 3-D projection systems and live special effects.
Woodbury said the goal was to use new technology and intensely detailed storytelling to thrill Harry Potter fans and entice those who haven't read the books or seen the movies.
The new themed area will be located at Universal Studios Park. It will be tied to the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter area at Universal's Islands of Adventure via the Hogwarts Express train.
During the train ride, riders will spot characters and magical creatures from the book. Among them: Hagrid on a flying motorbike, the Weasley twins on brooms, and the Knight Bus in London traffic.
Universal's team worked with a group from the Harry Potter films on the new themed area.
If fans want to see both parks, a two-park ticket will be required. For adults, a two-park ticket for one day costs $136; for children, it costs $130.

Are you sure your prayers are correct? - 2 day course on Prayer

 
 




What do you think of an act of worship – the most ordered in the Qurʾan, the first on which we'll be judged, the true sign of one's belief, the one that brings you the closest to Allah and the one that brings you to the true station of servitude (prostration)? A simple 5 minute act of worship that is more beloved to Allah than this world and all that is in it!

Little wonder is it not, that the Prophet's last advice before he passed away was: 'The Prayer, the Prayer!'

Yet with such importance, how few are those who learn about it and practice it correctly? On top of that, how much differences exists in the ummah in the manner of prayer? And finally, how pitiful that people don't take the full reward of the prayer – just as the Prophet (ṣalla'llāhu ʿalayhi WA-sallam) said in the authentic ḥadīth: A person prays and yet for him only a tenth or a quarter or a half of its reward is written.


Are you sure your prayers are correct?
Are you sure they are done in the manner that deems them acceptable?
