<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>* El 42,4% de los usuarios del tren y tranvía tiene automóvil pero prefiere utilizar el transporte ferroviario<br />
* Los viajeros del TRAM valoran, entre otras cuestiones, la seguridad y el compromiso con el medio ambiente<br />
* La red de FGV en la provincia evita diariamente la emisión de 20,8 toneladas de CO2 a la atmósfera</strong></p>
<p>Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV) – <strong>TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante transporta cada día a más de 5.500 viajeros que, a pesar de tener coche, prefieren utilizar este servicio público de transporte en sus desplazamientos. Según el Índice de Satisfacción del Cliente (ISC) 2009, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">el 42,4% de los usuarios de la red de FGV en la provincia son “no obligados”</span></strong>, es decir, tienen automóvil propio y, aún así, optan por subirse al tren o tranvía.</p>
<p><strong>FGV ha transportado este año una media de 400.000 viajeros al mes en las cuatro líneas que actualmente tiene en funcionamiento.</strong> La extrapolación de los datos del ISC revela que aproximadamente <strong>230.000 de estos usuarios no disponen de vehículo para realizar los trayectos que hacen en tranvía, mientras que 170.000 sí tienen coche pero prescinden de él ante las ventajas que facilita el TRAM.</strong></p>
<p>Los técnicos de FGV calculan que en la provincia de Alicante esta red de transporte <strong>evita la emisión de 20,8 toneladas de CO2 a la atmósfera cada día, 7.600 toneladas al año. Los informes del sector indican que los vehículos consumen más de un 50 por ciento de energía frente a los trenes y producen unas nueve veces más cantidad de emisiones de CO2 que los metros o tranvías por pasajero y kilómetro.</strong></p>
<p>En el citado informe del Índice de Satisfacción al Cliente del presente año, los alicantinos ensalzaban en un 95,3 por ciento de los casos la seguridad en el trayecto del TRAM y en un 93,3 por ciento el compromiso de FGV en Alicante con el medio ambiente.</p>
<p>Compromiso con la sostenibilidad</p>
<p>La Conselleria de Infraestructuras y Transporte tiene un decidido compromiso por el desarrollo sostenible, que se ha concretado en la elaboración de distintas acciones enmarcadas en la Declaración de Sostenibilidad y en la adhesión a la Carta de Sostenibilidad de la Unión Internacional de Transporte Público (UITP). Esta responsabilidad se materializa en la reducción de emisiones de CO2, la apuesta por las energías renovables y el ahorro eléctrico buscado a través de la renovación de la flota de trenes.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Fiquei tão feliz quando abri meu <em><em>gmail</em></em> e vi umas palavrinhas sofridas da Asta:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;(&#8230;)onde agora voce esta ja volta para brasil e como contas<br />
tudo com voce?&#8221;(&#8230;)</p></blockquote>
<p>Asta é uma garota que conheci no Porto, me visitou algumas vezes e descobri que é cultural tomar chá de papoula pra ficar alto e afastar o frio na época do Natal, descobri também que na sociedade que ela vive deus e pão significam a mesma coisa, sendo que só o segundo mata a fome. Pois é, ela é de Kaunas[onde?], na Lituâniua [ah!].</p>
<p>Respondi como ela me ensinou: </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Aš namai, Brazilija! (&#8230;)&#8221;<br />
(Estou em casa, no Brasil!)</p></blockquote>
<p>Elogio meu interesse em aprender novas linguagens, mas me decepciono com a urgência&#8230;</p>
<p>Divido <em>Liebfraumilch </em>em Amor/mãe/leite, sei a diferença entre <em>god morgon</em> e <em>god kväl</em>l, se alguém pergunta sobre meu <em>cazzo</em> já falo <em>vaffanculo</em> e qualquer <em>hayir</em> já é motivo pra eu dizer um <em>nes se ser, adam Pedro iam?</em> (seja lá como se escreve isso)</p>
<p>Mas e inteiro? Se até o inglês que eu dou aula há 4 anos me confunde o reported speech? </p>
<p>Português (L1) é diferente. Vocabulário é lindo, gramática excelente, mas&#8230; e saber como transformar sentimento em palavra? Nunca me ensinaram o processo de transformação de pensamento em palavra certa na hora certa, por exemplo, durante um abraço num sofá depois de ouvir claudinho e buchecha. Silêncio não basta quando se tem muito o que dizer.</p>
<p>Ahhhm&#8230; <em>Hej då</em> pra quem ler isso, (ou dependendo, <em>Puss och kram, min sojaböna kibe</em>.)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>La Conselleria de Infraestructuras y Transporte ha comenzado los trabajos de montaje de vía, en la zona más próxima a Benidorm, en el tramo ferroviario comprendido entre esta localidad y Altea.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/1gt5xc.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="211" /><br />
Estas obras forman parte de la renovación y electrificación del tramo comprendido entre ambas localidades, de la Línea Alicante- Denia de FGV, que se están llevando a cabo para la llegada de la Red TRAM a Altea. <strong>Estos trabajos están consistiendo en la mejora sustancial las comunicaciones entre Benidorm y Altea, a través de un sistema de transporte público eficaz, rápido, cómodo, seguro y, sobre todo, sostenible.</strong></p>
<p><strong>El montaje se irá desarrollando progresivamente hacia Altea, conforme se vayan terminando la preparación de la plataforma necesaria para recibir la nueva superestructura de vía.</strong></p>
<p>El desarrollo de las obras trabajos irá requiriendo la puesta en servicio de varios sectores del tramo, que irán conformando progresivamente el trazado hasta alcanzar la estación de Altea en marzo del año próximo. La línea que está siendo renovada se trata la antigua explotación ferroviaria, sin electrificar, por donde circula el tradicional &#8216;trenet&#8217;, de tracción diesel. Los trenes TRAM, sin embargo, son vehículos híbridos entre un tranvía y un tren de cercanías eléctrico, capaces de desarrollar velocidades de hasta 100 km por hora en recorridos interurbanos. Por lo tanto, el escenario futuro de explotación de la línea, con este nuevo material móvil, requiere la adopción de una serie de medidas que garanticen la seguridad y confort de los viajeros, y permitan la circulación.</p>
<p><strong>Estas obras están consistiendo en la renovación de los carriles y la ejecución de una nueva plataforma, que mejora el trazado en planta, y que está preparada para albergar vía doble. También está previsto incorporar la infraestructura necesaria para la electrificación completa de la línea.<br />
Las obras afectan a un tramo de 8,9 kilómetros, y cuentan con una inversión cercana a los 18 millones de euros.</strong></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV)-TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante ha transportado en lo que va de año a 4.043.123 viajeros, superando la cifra total de usuarios alcanzada al cierre del pasado año. Así, a dos meses de concluir el actual ejercicio, FGV-TRAM ha llevado a 94.759 usuarios más que en todo 2008, cuando transportó a 3.948.364 pasajeros.</p>
<p>El incremento es superior si se comparan los mismos periodos de enero a octubre. Así, FGV-TRAM ha transportado este año en diez meses a 694.783 viajeros más que en los diez primeros meses del 2008, según informó el Consell en un comunicado.</p>
<p>Por lo que respecta al pasado mes de octubre, 382.719 usuarios viajaron con el TRAM, un 10 por ciento más que en el mismo mes del año pasado. En términos medios, 12.346 personas diarias optaron el pasado mes por el TRAM a la hora de hacer sus desplazamientos, lo que supone 1.000 personas más diarias en este medio de transporte.</p>
<p>Del total de pasajeros registrados en octubre, 201.296 fueron usuarios del tranvía, mientras que 181.423 viajaron con el servicio regular que prestan los trenes diesel de la Línea 9 desde Benidorm hasta Dénia y los tren-TRAM (Mercado-Creueta).</p>
<p>Por líneas, es la Línea 3 (Mercado-Venta Lanuza) la que registra un mayor número de pasajeros, 171.546, seguida de la Línea 1 (Mercado-Benidorm), con 118.727 usuarios. Por detrás queda la Línea 4 (Puerta del Mar-Avenida de las Naciones) con 54.174 viajeros y, por último, la Línea 9 (Benidorm-Denia) con 38.272 pasajeros.</p>
<p>Respecto a las estaciones más transitadas, es la subterránea de Mercado, en el centro urbano de Alicante, la más concurrida de la Línea Alicante-Denia, con 80.340 usuarios. Le sigue la estación de Benidorm con 21.843, que vuelve a ocupar la segunda posición por delante de MARQ, que después de cuatro meses regresa a la tercera posición, con 18.271 viajeros, debido a la clausura de la exposición &#8216;La Belleza del Cuerpo&#8217;, que albergó el museo MARQ.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Hi colleagues! While I&#8217;m surfing the net, I&#8217;ve found this amazing article &#8221; Why yo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="articletext">
<h3 style="text-align:center;">Hi colleagues! While I&#8217;m surfing the net, I&#8217;ve found this amazing article &#8221; Why your students speak L1 in class?&#8221;, I liked it! It&#8217;s amazing! I&#8217;d like to share it with you. I hope it&#8217;ll be useful for you all!! </h3>
<p>Here are some reasons why students speak L1 in class. You will notice that not all of them are always bad things, and speaking L1 in class is not always a bad thing either. However, some of them are things you should respond to- the general rule being that if they speak L1 only when you have planned for them to do so, then that is the perfect use of L1. Ideas for how to tackle each point are given underneath.</p>
<p><strong>Possible reasons why students speak L1 in English classes</strong></p>
<p><strong>1.     </strong><strong>They want to make jokes that they can&#8217;t make in English</strong></p>
<p>A couple of quick jokes in L1 can really lighten the load for the students and make the rest of the class easier to teach, but any more than that and it starts to cut into the time they have to speak English. If they are at a level when they should be able to tell that joke in English, you can ask the class to translate or do a whole class on jokes (puns can be good for pronunciation practice and story-like jokes for narrative tenses). In lower level classes, humour must necessarily be mainly physical, so doing mime and roleplays where they get up and move around can help them learn to express themselves that way.</p>
<p><strong>2.     </strong><strong>Only one person understands the instructions or language</strong></p>
<p>This is a common situation that really needs to be avoided, as it can quickly reach the point where students don&#8217;t even listen to you because they know a translation is coming soon. Techniques include teaching students the language they will need to understand what you are going to say (&#8220;Open your books&#8221;, the names of tenses and word groups etc); writing down, simplifying and practising your instructions before the class; and getting in to routines so they know what to do at each point in the class.</p>
<p><strong>3.     </strong><strong>They want to double check that they have understood an explanation</strong></p>
<p>Even if you believe that avoiding L1 for explanations is useful for the practice of English and to show that anyone can communicate in easy English, there often comes a time when the only way students can confirm that they understand &#8220;sparrow&#8221;, &#8220;cypress&#8221; or &#8220;Brussels sprouts&#8221; is with a &#8220;Do you mean &#8230;?&#8221; and a translation. Teaching sentences like this and &#8220;How do you say &#8230; in Spanish?&#8221; at least means that most of what they say will be in English. If you don&#8217;t want to lose your status as the English-only speaker, you can let one or all the students check in their dictionaries or school dictionaries at that point (but only when you say so).</p>
<p><strong>4.     </strong><strong>They want a translation for something so they can easily write down what it means in their notebooks</strong></p>
<p>Despite the speed and convenience of doing this, if you want the students to stop translating in their heads and to make the classroom more and more L1-free it is best to avoid this whenever you can do so without wasting too much classroom time and effort. The best solution is to write something on the board they can copy down that is almost as short and easy to understand as a translation, e.g. an easy synonym, a word with a similar meaning (with a wavy equals sign to mean &#8220;almost equals&#8221;), an opposite, two words it lies between (e.g. &#8220;quite&#8221; between &#8220;very&#8221; and &#8220;a bit&#8221;), a different part of speech of the same word that they are more familiar with (e.g. &#8220;character&#8221; for &#8220;characterization&#8221;), or a simple line drawing.</p>
<p><strong>5.     </strong><strong>There are things they need to say to each other to be polite that they don&#8217;t know how to say in English</strong></p>
<p>This can be easily and usefully solved by teaching &#8220;Good morning&#8221;, &#8220;Did you have a good weekend?&#8221;, &#8220;See you next week&#8221; etc. from the first lesson. It might be that they want to say something that doesn&#8217;t have a perfect English translation, but until they reach the level when you can explain that to them, it can sometimes be worth teaching them the less than perfect equivalent.</p>
<p><strong>6.     </strong><strong>Speaking English has tired them out and they need a bit of a break</strong></p>
<p>Like doing exercise, with language learning sometimes taking a break and starting again refreshed is the best way of using five or ten minutes. In order to give them a break but stop those few minutes of L1 infecting the whole class, you could have a set break time when they can speak L1, do something silent for 5 minutes, or do some very basic revision.</p>
<p><strong>7.     </strong><strong>They feel like a child or stupid when they speak their low level English for too long</strong></p>
<p>This is particularly the case with intellectual students who suddenly can&#8217;t explain any of the things they want to say. Apart from giving them a 5 minute break to speak in L1, other approaches include telling them what the topic will be in the next lesson so they can prepare what they want to say, designing the syllabus around things they are having trouble expressing (e.g. &#8220;I strongly disagree&#8221;), and designing activities where they can make their opinions heard with just simple language, e.g. debating games.</p>
<p><strong>8.     </strong><strong>They want to talk about something that is important for learning English like self-study tips</strong></p>
<p>There are times when a good tip just can&#8217;t be given in easily understandable English. If you don&#8217;t speak the students&#8217; L1 or want to remain an English-only speaker in class so they are forced to make the effort to communicate with you, there are ways around this. One possibility is to have a standardized list of self-study tips with translations of each one that you can circle individualized recommendations on. Another is to spend a lesson or two on the topic until you have pre-taught all the language they will need to understand the tips.</p>
<p><strong>9.     </strong><strong>They have got so carried away with a debate or other speaking activity that they can&#8217;t bear not being able to get their point across</strong></p>
<p>In a way this is the sign of a good class, and a comment or two in L1 doesn&#8217;t hurt, especially if other students can translate it. In the worst cases, though, the rest of the class can turn into a mainly L1 debate. The best way to avoid this is to have the language at least as much the focus of the activity as the debating point, e.g. by having example sentences they must try and slip onto the discussion to score points. Another good technique is to split the debate down into several smaller sections such as statements to agree and disagree with. You can then bring the discussion back into English by moving onto reading or listening to the next statement.</p>
<p><strong>10. </strong><strong>They have tried to explain something in English for five minutes when they know they could just get a translation from the teacher or students in 5 seconds</strong></p>
<p>Learning to explain vocabulary you don&#8217;t know and making the point that it is possible to communicate in only English are very useful, but there reaches a point where an English-only policy can just waste time. Ways of reducing that length of time and the number of occasions when you do need to resort to L1 include allowing dictionary use at designated points, allowing them to draw on the board, allowing them to show photos of what they are talking about on the mobile phones, and having the Internet in the room so they can search for a picture.</p>
<p><strong>11. </strong><strong>They want to know how to say something in English but they can&#8217;t ask in English</strong></p>
<p>Similar to number 3 above, solutions include the use of dictionaries and teaching them set phrases like &#8220;What is the English translation of&#8230;?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>12. </strong><strong>They want to talk about something that only exists in their own country and so doesn&#8217;t have an English name, e.g. a vegetable, bird or something related to a local festival</strong></p>
<p>Teach them set phrases such as &#8220;There is a bird that in my language we call a &#8230;, which is &#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;I don&#8217;t think there is a word in English for &#8230;, but it looks like&#8230;&#8221; Games like Taboo and work on relative clauses for descriptions can help with this.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft" style="float:left;width:360px;height:360px;" title="Tamiflu" src="http://tritz2.org/images/parc3/tamiflu.jpg" alt="Tamiflu" width="360"></p>
<div style="text-align:justify;">
<img src="http://tritz2.org/images/parc/french.gif" alt="french" width="16" height="10" /> <span style="font-size:small;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">France, Football, L1, OM-PSG,  20 novembre retenu pour le match &#8211; Ligue 1: le match OM-PSG aura lieu le 20 novembre &#8211; Reuters &#8211; Bertrand Boucey, avec François Revilla à Marseille, édité par Gilles Trequesser &#8211; Le match entre l&#8217;Olympique de Marseille et le Paris Saint-Germain aura lieu le vendredi 20 novembre après son report dimanche en raison de cas de grippe A dans l&#8217;effectif parisien. Ce choix, arrêté jeudi par la Ligue de football professionnel (LFP), va entraîner un bouleversement du calendrier avec le déplacement au 2 décembre des matches Boulogne-PSG et Marseille-Sochaux, initialement prévus le 21 novembre.<br />
&#8220;Le bureau de la LFP a fixé la date du match OM-PSG au vendredi 20 novembre 2009 à 21h00. Elle convient aux deux clubs ainsi qu&#8217;au diffuseur Canal+ qui retransmettra le match en direct&#8221;, écrit la Ligue dans un communiqué.<br />
&#8220;Cette date est la première possible. Elle permet de solutionner au plus tôt le problème du report de cette grande affiche de Ligue 1&#8243;, ajoute la LFP.<br />
Le report de ce match dimanche à quelques heures du coup d&#8217;envoi a été suivi d&#8217;incidents entre supporters des deux camps à Marseille.<br />
L&#8217;OM, le PSG ainsi que les autorités, dont le Premier ministre, François Fillon, ont reproché à la Ligue d&#8217;avoir pris cette décision trop tardivement.<br />
Marseille, dont le calendrier est alourdi par la Ligue des Champions, ne voulait pas reporter ce match jusqu&#8217;en janvier, quand certains de ses joueurs participeront à la Coupe d&#8217;Afrique des Nations.<br />
L&#8217;OM POURRAIT DEMANDER UN AUTRE REPORT &#8211; &#8220;Je ne sais pas s&#8217;il y avait une bonne solution. C&#8217;est bien que Sochaux ait accepté. Les intérêts de toutes les parties n&#8217;étaient pas forcément les mêmes (&#8230;) On nous a proposé différentes dates que nous avons refusées&#8221;, a réagi Didier Deschamps, l&#8217;entraîneur marseillais.<br />
Marseille se réserve toutefois le droit de demander un nouvel aménagement du calendrier pour déplacer éventuellement son match contre Sochaux.<br />
&#8220;Prévue initialement le samedi 21 novembre, la rencontre OM-Sochaux est ainsi décalée a priori au mercredi 2 décembre&#8221;, écrit l&#8217;OM sur son site internet (www.om.net).<br />
&#8220;A priori, car dans le cas où le match de Ligue des champions face au Real Madrid à Marseille (la semaine suivante, le <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> s&#8217;avérait décisif, l&#8217;OM demanderait alors à la Ligue un report d&#8217;OM-Sochaux à une date ultérieure&#8221;,<br />
Antoine Kombouaré, l&#8217;entraîneur parisien, a exprimé sa satisfaction.<br />
&#8220;Ça arrange surtout le PSG (&#8230;) C&#8217;est quand même mieux de jouer Marseille avant la fin de l&#8217;année. Si l&#8217;OM est satisfait, c&#8217;est bien aussi&#8221;, a dit Kombouaré, cité par le site internet du PSG (www.psg.fr).<br />
La rencontre OM-PSG aura lieu le surlendemain du match retour de l&#8217;équipe de France en barrage de qualification pour la Coupe du monde. Les Bleus se rendent en Irlande le 14 novembre et la reçoivent le 18 novembre.<br />
La nouvelle date du match entre Marseille et le PSG a été arrêtée en concertation avec les présidents des deux clubs, le Marseillais Jean-Claude Dassier et le Parisien Robin Leproux, qui ont assisté à la réunion de la Ligue jeudi matin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:justify;">

This choice was arrested Thursday by the Professional Football League (LFP), will cause disruption of schedule with the move to December 2 matches Boulogne-PSG and Marseille-Sochaux, initially planned November 21.<br />
&#8220;The office of the LFP has fixed the date of the match OM-PSG on Friday, November 20, 2009 at 21:00. It is suitable for both clubs and the broadcaster Canal + will broadcast the match live,&#8221; the League wrote in a statement.<br />
&#8220;This is the first date possible. It solves the problem earlier postponement of this great displays of 1 League,&#8221; added the LFP.<br />
The postponement of the match on Sunday a few hours before kick-off was followed by clashes between supporters of both camps in Marseilles.<br />
The OM, PSG and the authorities, including Prime Minister Francois Fillon, has criticized the league for taking that decision too late.<br />
Marseille, whose schedule is heavy with the Champions League, did not postpone the match until January, when some of his players participate in the Africa Cup of Nations.<br />
The OM MAY SEEK FURTHER REPORT &#8211; &#8220;I do not know if there was a good solution. It is well accepted that Sochaux. The interests of all parties were not necessarily the same (&#8230;) We proposed various dates that we refused, &#8220;responded Didier Deschamps, the Marseille coach.<br />
Marseille reserves the right to request a new development schedule for its move possibly match against Sochaux.<br />
&#8220;Originally scheduled Saturday, November 21, meeting the OM-Sochaux is thus shifted prior to Wednesday, December 2, OM wrote on his website (www.om.net).<br />
&#8220;At first, because if the match of the Champions League against Real Madrid in Marseille (the following week, <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8)' class='wp-smiley' /> proved decisive, the OM would request a postponement League OM-Sochaux a later date &#8220;<br />
Antoine Kombouare, PSG coach, expressed his satisfaction.<br />
&#8220;It suits especially PSG (&#8230;) It&#8217;s better to play Marseille before the end of the year. If OM is satisfied, it is also&#8221; said Kombouaré, quoted by the website Internet PSG (www.psg.fr).<br />
The OM-PSG meeting will take place two days after the second leg of the France team in qualifying for dam the World Cup. Les Bleus travel to Ireland November 14th and receive November 18.<br />
The new date of the match between Marseille and PSG was adopted in consultation with the chairmen of both clubs, Marseille Jean-Claude Dassier and Robin Leproux Parisien, who attended the League meeting Thursday morning.</span></div>

<p style="text-align:justify;">As you know, my family is building a shipping container house, if it KILLS us.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>And, it just might. But, stop drooling into your monitor, waiting for the scraps, huh? The boy gets everything. Everything.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Now, as we toil and grind, and cut, and hack, and curse like sailors&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I decided to put myself in your shoes, for just a moment. I mean, you&#8217;re sitting there, having &#8220;<strong>Corten Container dreams</strong>&#8220;&#8230; thinking about a big hammock stretched between two steel boxes, the water in the pool lapping quietly by your side, as you sleep the peaceful sleep of the blissfully happy.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Ah&#8230; I can see it all now&#8230;.</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">You finally built your &#8216;off-grid&#8217; solar, photovoltaic, energy efficient, insulated like crazy, &#8220;Corten Chateau&#8221; in the country.

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">And it gets 170 miles to the gallon. So, you can be gone a LOOOOOOOONG time before you have to refuel&#8230;</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Now, we&#8217;re cooking with gas!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Okay, so it&#8217;s NOT gas. It&#8217;s diesel. In fact, it&#8217;s not just diesel, it&#8217;s a hybrid, and it&#8217;s electric, too!</em></p>

<h5 style="text-align:justify;"><em><span style="color:#808080;">(dream over! WAKE UP!)</span><br />
</em></h5>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Those geniuses at Volkswagen have done it again! They&#8217;ve set the world on fire, at least at the Frankfurt Motor Show! </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">At a lunchtime press conference on the first day of the <strong>Frankfurt Motor Show</strong>, they kicked everybody&#8217;s butt with a carbon fiber, half width, 1-liter hybrid electric diesel tandem two-seater car named the L1. Now, they&#8217;re slating this car to go into production, in<strong> 2013</strong>. When it does, it will almost certainly be the most fuel efficient car available with a combined diesel fuel consumption figure of .364 Gal / 62.14 miles (1.38 l/100km), thanks to its &#8220;miserly motor&#8221; combo, almost feather-like weight – 838 pounds (380 kg) in total &#8211; and an aerodynamic drag co-efficient of just 0.195!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/VemGJSIN1XY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/VemGJSIN1XY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">They didn&#8217;t do this &#8216;overnight.&#8217; They&#8217;ve been hard at work on it for over seven years. Back when it dawned, the idea that you could build a production version of the radical two-seater, which achieved fuel consumption of one liter fuel per 100 kilometers, was so remote as to be considered &#8220;<strong>insane</strong>.&#8221; Even &#8220;those in the know&#8221; called it &#8220;<strong>unthinkable</strong>&#8220;.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The <strong>L1</strong> is the second generation of the <strong>Volkswagon</strong> 1-liter car, and it&#8217;s really, really close to production readiness.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://renaissanceronin.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/volkswagen-l1b.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2778" title="volkswagen-l1b" src="http://renaissanceronin.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/volkswagen-l1b.jpg" alt="volkswagen-l1b" width="460" height="287" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>(Since it&#8217;s the second Generation, why didn&#8217;t they call it the &#8220;L2&#8243;? or the &#8220;L1.1&#8243;? Hmmm&#8230;)</em></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And its dimensions are pretty amazing &#8211; the length of the <strong>L1</strong> at 12.5 feet (3,813 millimeters) is still similar to that of a <strong>Volkswagen Fox</strong>, and its height of 3.75 feet (1,143 millimeters) nearly matches that of a <strong>Lamborghini Murciélago</strong>, while the car’s aerodynamically optimized width of almost 4 feet (1,200 millimeters to be exact) has no comparisons in the world of today’s production cars.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://renaissanceronin.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/volkswagen-l1c.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2779" title="volkswagen-l1c" src="http://renaissanceronin.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/volkswagen-l1c.jpg" alt="volkswagen-l1c" width="460" height="287" /></a><br />
<span style="color:#ff0000;">I figure that you could get about (5) of these in a standard 2-car garage. That, my friends, is a whole fleet of fun!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And <strong>Volkswagen</strong> is just like my kid:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;Why?&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>&#8220;Dad, Why?&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>&#8220;Daddy!   Why? Why? Why?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">As they developed the <strong>L1</strong> prototypes, they questioned EVERYTHING under the sun. They asked questions about automobiles that had never been asked before!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>How do I know all of this? Well, I read it in print, so it must be true! Right? I mean, if it wasn&#8217;t true, they couldn&#8217;t print it, right? <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Seriously, those engineers at <strong>VW </strong>started with the body construction, and asked themselves that age old question:</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>&#8220;Yeah, yeah, energy, schmenergy&#8230; But will it attract girls?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Wait, that&#8217;s not it&#8230;</em> <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>They asked themselves how a car would have to look to attract Halle Berry. Wait&#8230; that&#8217;s not right either&#8230;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Okay, seriously, they asked themselves how a car would  have to be built to consume as little energy as possible.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The logical answer: it&#8217;d have to be extremely aerodynamic and lightweight.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Well, duhhhhh!</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>But, that&#8217;s not easy. After all, some idiot is gonna be gawking at you, while you&#8217;re toolin down the road in this baby, and that somebody else is gonna smash into you. Why, it&#8217;s as sure as this big butt in my jeans&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So, the words for the day were: &#8220;<strong>maximum safety</strong>.&#8221; But how do you do that with a <strong>4 foot wide car</strong>? You &#8220;use the Force, Luke.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Yep, the same &#8220;force&#8221; the &#8216;air monkeys&#8217; use&#8230; You use High-Tech carbon fiber. <strong>CFRP</strong>, to be exact!</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">And the <strong>V&#8217;Dub</strong> guys wanted you to have a good time flying this down the highway. What better way than to build it, to resemble a fighter aircraft?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Well, just call me Maverick, and strap my butt in! I feel the need for some speed! </em><br />
<strong><br />
The seat layout had to be: One seat behind the other.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://renaissanceronin.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/volkswagen-l1roof.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2780" title="volkswagen-l1roof" src="http://renaissanceronin.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/volkswagen-l1roof.jpg" alt="volkswagen-l1roof" width="500" height="333" /></a><br />
<span style="color:#ff0000;">And none of them sissy &#8220;scissor doors&#8221; either. It&#8217;s been done to death! You get into it just like the flyboys do&#8230; You step down into it, when the canopy gets &#8220;raised.&#8221; </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Beyond the looks, this baby is all &#8220;high-tech.&#8221; Each component has been redesigned, a special chassis with aluminum components was developed, and above all&#8230; the crucial <strong>CFRP</strong> technology from <strong>Formula-1 racing</strong> and<strong> airplane construction</strong> was transferred to automotive manufacturing.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">This has been combined with a unique form of hybrid drive to create a near-production vehicle. I bet it even uses <strong>Dy-lithium crystals</strong>! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Sign me up! I want one.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><em>And you better wake up, too!! There&#8217;s gonna be a long list, when these babies hit US shores&#8230;</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Stay tuned!</strong></span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>TRAM Metropolitano de Alicante transportó durante el pasado mes de septiembre en su línea Alicante-Dénia a<strong> 392.239 usuarios, un 2,53 por ciento más que en el mismo periodo del pasado año</strong>, cuando transportó a 382.575 pasajeros.</p>
<p><strong>En lo que va de año, el TRAM ha transportado a 3.660.404 viajeros</strong>, lo que significa que <strong>660.043 usuarios más que en los nueve primeros meses de 2008</strong> lo han elegido como medio de transporte para realizar sus desplazamientos por la provincia, según informaron hoy fuentes de la Generalitat en un comunicado.</p>
<p>Del total de viajeros registrados en septiembre,<strong> 216.012 han sido usuarios del tranvía en la zona TAM Alicante-El Campello, mientras que 176.227 han viajado con el servicio regular que prestan los tren-TRAM (Mercado-Benidorm) y los trenes diésel de la Línea 9 (Benidorm-Denia).</strong></p>
<p>Por líneas, es la <strong>Línea 3 (Mercado-Venta Lanuza) la que registra un mayor número de pasajeros, 177.434, seguida de la Línea 1, con 121.499 usuarios. Por detrás queda la Línea 4 (Puerta del Mar-Avenida de las Naciones) con 56.069 viajeros y, por último, la Línea 9 (Benidorm-Denia) con 37.237 usuarios.<br />
</strong><br />
Respecto a las <strong>estaciones más transitadas</strong>, es la subterránea de <strong>Mercado</strong>, en el centro urbano de Alicante, la más concurrida de la Línea Alicante-Denia, <strong>con 83.896 usuarios</strong>. Le sigue la estación de <strong>MARQ,</strong> que por cuarto mes consecutivo vuelve a situarse en<strong> segunda posición con 20.413 pasajeros debido a su cercanía con la exposición &#8216;La belleza del cuerpo&#8217; que alberga el museo MARQ de Alicante y que acoge &#8216;El Discóbolo&#8217; de Mirón.</strong></p>
<p>La estación de <strong>Benidorm, con 19.626 usuarios, y la estación de Creueta, con 11.079, se sitúan en tercer y cuarto puesto, respectivamente. Les sigue las de El Campello (5.878) y Puerta del Mar (5.740).</strong></p>

<p>O Volkswagen concept L1 é uma evolução do conceito 1l mostrado pela marca em 2002. Então porque ele virou uma das vedetes do Salão de Frankfurt em 2009? Simplesmente porque antecipa muito do que se pensa de um carro para o futuro, diz a VW.</p>
<p>Por isso entenda &#8211; mímino gasto de combustível. Utilizando alta tecnologia, que envolve escapamento de titânio e carroceria em plástico, e um motor a diesel que rende 36 cv de potência o carro pode chegar a rodar 100 km com 1 litro de combustível.

<p>The Volkswagen L1 concept is a breakthrough for fuel efficiency and roof-opening doors. Its carbon fibre reinforced body weighs just 124kg, and it has a maximum speed of 160kph. But the best bit, the L1 consumes just 1.5l of diesel per 100km. Again, it&#8217;s just a concept, and probably won&#8217;t see the bright light of a summer&#8217;s day, but we don&#8217;t care. How cool is that fighter pilot-esque seating inside?</p>

El prototipo presentado en el Salón de Frankfurt, recorre casi 100 km con 1L de gasoil</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.Volkswagen.com" target="_blank">Volkswagen</a>, el mayor productor de automóviles de Europa, <strong>presentó el “L1″ en el Salón del Automóvil de Frankfurt</strong>. Este prototipo híbrido, <strong>tiene como objetivo recorrer 100 km con un sólo litro de combustible</strong>. Para lograrlo, el auto ubica a sus dos ocupantes uno detrás del otro. Gracias a esta característica y que su altura es de poco más de un metro, el coeficiente aerodinámico es el más bajo del mercado, optimizando el uso de la energía al ofrecer menor resistencia al aire.</p>
<p>Si bien la promesa de Volkswagen es lograr 100 km con un litro de combustible, <strong>los resultados actuales indican que se requieren 1.38 litros para recorrer dicha distancia.</strong> La velocidad máxima del auto con motor diesel de 800CC (27 CV), es de 135 Km/h. Por el escaso espacio disponible, sólo puede cargar 10 litros de combustible y una autonomía teórica de 640 km.</p>
<p>Dos tecnologías innovadoras fueron instaladas en el vehículo. Por un lado, <strong>un pequeño motor eléctrico</strong> con una potencia de 10 Kw, que se recarga cuando desciende una pendiente o cuando se activan los frenos, y por el otro, un sistema de apagado instantáneo del motor diesel cuando se frena en los semáforos.</p>
<p>La fecha de lanzamiento oficial de este prototipo será en el año 2013, cuando la marca germana espera alcanzar la meta de un litro cada 100 km.</p>
