Deepwater Horizon IMO 8764597 Flag Marshall Islands build 2001 GT 32588. An young lady, come to me during a some big get-together and initiate to proposing me a working place in some design/architecture laboratory. The old, vintage desk turned to the window – are ready. But true too, that the desk is a very ‘atmospheric’… From that, very Japanese (mean yakuza) style corporation, which don’t put the old “burned” man to the street. But, give him a ‘window place where work is done’… How sweet! That little heart doesn’t know that the real World (my world) spin around the Group A, - and not the Group B services… Than she introduce me the proper boss, who is gladly receiving me and telling that unique the Contract condition is: -‘What I expect from you is just a good relationship… I hope…’ Well, - the rare ‘spirit of cooperation’ in my dreams. Seems that “her” “problems” – is my hands ability for problem-solving of elementary Engineering Management. Which like always, was interrupted by the heavy smell of railway wagon. Even brushing my teeth, - I knew that this was me be a bit irritated when O Globo a couples minutes after the Rovos Rail disaster put the names and countries who were traveling in. “Stupid” of me to read this before bed. Why? Because, exactly there, are the moments when I feel as if I’m living a dream (i.e. the 25+1% of British Steel in the Norwegian Railway, if you remember). Where my life is is unreal. Where I’m aware of what’s going on (its was Queen idea), - yet I “feel” detached from it. Again why? Because who it will be to talking (and than running around me in City) in Spanish/Portuguese about shameful Vogue from Kiev? The Petrobras? Why is this happen to me? Here’s comes the explanation why: BP plc-Mike O’Berry-Transocean Incorporated-International Association of Drilling Contractors-US Department of Interior-Scott Lloyd-Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Ltd-and the McDonald’s hamburger chewing by this sweet heart. Get it!

LONDON -(Dow Jones)- Work has started to shut off the oil flow that is feeding a fire aboard the Transocean Ltd. (RIG) drilling rig that suffered an explosion late Tuesday injuring 17 workers and leaving 11 missing, a spokesman for BP PLC (BP) said Thursday. The rig in the Gulf of Mexico, called the Deepwater Horizon, remains ablaze following the unexplained explosion Tuesday night. "We are trying to get kit down to the seabed to stop the oil flowing," up the riser connection and on to the platform where it is feeding the blaze, said the spokesman for BP, which had contracted the Transocean rig to drill a well. Remotely operated underwater vehicles have already been deployed to perform this task, he said. He couldn't say how long the operation would take. There have been reports of a sheen of oil on the surface of the water near the burning rig, but no evidence of a significant oil spill, he said. The U.S. coastguard suspended the search for the 11 missing crew members late Wednesday and will resume operations at first light Thursday, according to local TV reports. Seventeen crew members were medevaced from the scene, three of whom are in critical condition.

April 22 2010 08:58. “We are placing our hopes in Sunderland,” declared Deutsche Bahn’s chief executive Rüdiger Grube on Thursday, after the German state-owned transport group sealed its takeover bid for Tyne-and-Wear-based Arriva. The 775p per share cash offer, approved by the supervisory board of Deutsche Bahn on Wednesday evening and unanimously recommended by Arriva, values the group at about £1.5bn and comes as local European transport markets prepare for greater deregulation. Deutsche Bahn is 100 per cent owned by the German state, and has 255,000 employees in 130 countries, with 60,000 employees outside Germany. In 2009, the group had revenues of €29.3bn.

Alrosa confirms case of diamond switch. 4/21/2010 1:38 PM. Alrosa has referred an investigation of a case of substitution of low value synthetic stones in a batch of Alrosa rough that was sold to a foreign client to the criminal prosecutors and the Russian courts. Andrei Polyakov, the company spokesman, told PolishedPrices that a case of substitution had been discovered "recently". He declined to say who is suspected, and how exactly the substitution was pulled off. The evidence will appear in court, Polyakov said. "It's up to the law enforcement services to find who is guilty,” he said. According to Russian press reports, Alrosa has acknowledged that the switch occurred in a small batch of stones of up to 3 carats in size, and that though the discovery was recent, the switch is believed to have happened between late 2008 and early 2009 during cutting and polishing of the rough. Reference in the reports to the fact that the stones were consigned for manufacturing in a tolling agreement with Alrosa suggests the substitution may have occurred in an Armenian factory. However, the origin of the synthetic stones is likely to have been Russian. Such switches were known to have occurred during the 1990s in the diamond pipeline between Russia and the Armenian cutting plants. The Alrosa rough had been replaced by stones treated by the high pressure, high heat ( HPHT) synthesizing technology at a location outside the direct control of the main company or its diamond polishing affiliate, Alrosa said. The process involves large presses that can weigh hundreds of tonnes to produce a pressure of 5 GPa at 1500 °C. Such technology was in use in the mid 1990s at plants near Moscow, and also in western Siberia. "Such manipulation of its products may damage the reputation of the company and the diamond as such," Alrosa has said in a statement, "so any attempt to mislead the consumers of precious stones, made of our diamonds, will be stopped in the strongest fashion."
