The left full of water.



The left full of water. Separating private and professional ventures has never been more confounding and revealing. But, it’s in one side. At the other, - it’s feels like I’m continuously the 24/7 still be not interested. More yet in the presence of an utterly cantankerous client, which everyone know how I’m calling them. Which, again, everyone know how they calling me, - i.e. “what-you-do-to-find-the-job”. However, at the same time, I sense that him, or her to approve me. Judge by yourself. The first dream was the butter holder, which slip from my hands. This is simple to interpret. It’s кацапских тварей Eurasia. (The TV Licence, with face of Valentina Vassilenko - knock at my door in this moment…) I try to pick it up, but, have a big Kaзaнь (i.e. pan) instead… The huge electric shock runs through my body… The second dream, - a couple (one with the chinese face of Miller), walking away from desperate and angry small girl… (To see couple in your dream, symbolize marriage, your parents, or a relationship. Concider what the couple are doing in your dream for additional clues about their significance. I.e. the Belarus energy vector). In place to mention how it’s happen that the because of the medvedev’s high, - he become a heavy-metal fun and now the heterophilist for many years? From the simple question of who had the difference between the $32 billion (for Kyrgyzstan), and the $22 billion (for Skolko vo)? Well darlings, - I know the answer. It’s me darlings. It’s me and not the dog who still keep out the key even for you, - the darling asylum’s inmates. And you know what I mean. Kозло-вонючие козловидные, - it’s what you like most to paint from my persona. But, someday you’ll understand how erratic behaviour is wearing on everybody’s Peter Pan’s nerves. By me, - I’ll keep it simple and effective.

Russian leader Medvedev starts first US visit. (AFP) – 2 hours ago. SAN FRANCISCO — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev started his first US visit with a stop in California to tap into the innovative power that has made Silicon Valley a hotbed for winning technology firms. Medvedev met with actor-turned-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger late Tuesday after arriving in San Francisco. Apple, Google, Twitter, and Cisco were on his itinerary for the following day and he is reportedly interested in getting talent or pacts from the Silicon Valley stars.

Belarus Cuts Off Gas Transited to Europe. Gas shortages may affect Poland, Lithuania, and Germany. A day after Russia cut back gas supplies to Belarus over a debt dispute, Minsk announced that it would block Russian gas from traveling through Belarus to the rest of Europe. “I ordered that the government block gas transit through Belarus until Russian state-controlled gas company Gasprom paid for transit fees,” Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said at a meeting with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Tuesday. Lukashenko promised to repay the debt using the money he had “borrowed from his friends,” as there was no spare cash available. On Monday, Gasprom cut gas supplies to Belarus by 30 percent because of an unpaid debt of $192 million. Russia in turn, owes Belarus over $200 million in fees for gas transited to European countries. Belarus’s debt to Russia has been accumulating because since January, Minsk had been paying for Russian gas at 2009 rates. Meanwhile, Russia had increased gas prices for Belarus from $150 per 1,000 cubic meters to $169 in the first quarter of 2010, and $184 in the second quarter. European Commission energy spokeswoman Marlene Holzner said on June 22 that the gas interruptions would likely affect Poland, Lithuania, and Germany. A similar incident happened last January between Ukraine and Russia that left parts of Europe without Russian gas for two weeks during the winter. The current gas issue creates a political reason for Moscow to make Belarus join a Kremlin-headed customs union with Kazakhstan, according to analysts. Last May, the three countries failed to sign an agreement on the customs union due to a disagreement by Belarus over duties on oil and petroleum. Russia claimed that it was looking for alternative routes to transport the gas to Europe. Ukraine has already stated it could supply the extra gas to Europe. Russia supplies 20 percent of its natural gas to Europe using Belarus's transportation system, the rest is transported through Ukraine.

BASF seals €3.1bn Cognis deal. June 23 2010 07:46. BASF on Wednesday sealed a €3.1bn ($3.8bn) deal to take over smaller rival Cognis, in one of the largest acquisitions the chemicals sector has seen this year. The world’s largest chemicals company by revenues said it had reached an agreement with Cognis’s owners – US investment bank Goldman Sachs and British private equity group Permira – to buy the company for an equity purchasing price of €700m. Including Cognis’ high debt load and the speciality chemicals maker’s pension obligations, the deal values the company at €3.1bn. The move, which is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be formally completed by November, marks a fast return to acquisitions for BASF after its almost €4bn takeover of Swiss rival Ciba in 2008. The deal will give the German chemical maker a boost in its drive to diversify away from oil-based products into environmentally friendly and higher margin products with natural ingredients. Cognis produces cosmetics and personal care products made from natural resources such as coconut oil. “With the acquisition of Cognis, we are strengthening our portfolio with cyclically robust and profitable businesses and further expanding our position as the world’s leading chemical company,” Jürgen Hambrecht, BASF’s chief executive, said. The deal could mark Mr Hambrecht’s last major strategic step, who is set to be replaced by chief financial officer Kurt Bock next year. BASF is planning to integrate the business into its performance products segment, which made revenues of €9.4bn in the past year. “By purchasing Cognis, we will in particular expand our portfolio with products based on renewable raw materials,” John Feldmann, head of BASF’s performance products, said. Antonio Trius, Cognis’ chief executive officer, said: “The transaction combines expertise and synergies in technologies, innovations and market know-how. We also believe that Cognis’ excellent market position and clear focus on the trends wellness and sustainability, especially our green products, make a perfect strategic fit.” The purchasing price for Cognis, which made revenues of €2.6bn in the past year, is in line with analysts’ expectations. A multiple of 1.1 to 1.3 times sales had been viewed as reasonable by some analysts. Cognis’ owners, Goldman Sachs and Permira, had been haggling for months with BASF over the price for the medium-sized German speciality chemicals maker. While Goldman and Permira hoped to fetch up to €3.5bn, BASF, which has been advised by investment bank Lazard, initially hesitated to pay more than €3bn as it was wary not to be seen as overpaying after its acquisition of Ciba drew criticism. Goldman and Permira have turned down a partly-share financed offer by rival Lubrizol recently as they were not interested in owning a stake in the US specialty chemicals maker.
