Petrobras, Modern Mining inked an agreement Monday to build a coke (CPC) plant in Saudi Arabia.
May 19, 2010 10:24 by Rasha Reslan
Saudi-based Modern Mining Holding Limited and South American oil and gas giant Petrobras have agreed a SR1.7 billion deal to build a calcined petroleum coke (CPC) plant in the Kingdom.
Modern CEO Abdulaziz F. Barakat Al-Hamwah and Petrobras director Paulo Costa signed a preliminary joint venture agreement on Monday at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh.
Modern chairman Prince Turki bin Abdulrahman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud and Brazilian Ambassador Sergio Luix Canaes also attended the ceremony. According to the terms of the agreement, both companies will study the feasibility of jointly developing and operating a CPC production plant in Saudi Arabia.
The joint venture project, expected to be operational by the second quarter of 2012, will have an annual production capacity of up to 700,000 tons. It will be established in Jubail Industrial City or Raz az Zawr Mineral Industrial City and will cover approximately 400,000 square meters of land.
A major portion of the project cost will be financed by various government and commercial financial institutions, while the equity investment will be shared equally between Petrobras and Modern.
"The breakthrough that happened yesterday was a result of several months of meetings and negotiations regarding technical specifications for the project," Al-Hamwah said on Tuesday.
He said this came as the result of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's landmark visit to the Kingdom in 2009, which aimed to boost cooperation between the two countries in the energy and agriculture sectors. "At that time, Modern and Petrobras forged a memorandum of understanding to undertake the building of a manufacturing facility in the Eastern Province for the production of CPC," he added.
"As the major raw material required by aluminum smelters, CPC is in great demand to meet the growing needs of the aluminum industry, not only in Saudi Arabia but throughout the Gulf region and worldwide," said Costa.
He added that both partners have high expectations for the project and believed Saudi Arabia provided many competitive advantages, including the availability of low cost and reliable power, which translates into lower cost of production.
In addition, the joint venture will also establish strategic alliances and off-take arrangements with aluminum producers in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf nations.
Petrobras is the recent winner of Euromoney's award for the best-managed company in Latin America's oil and gas sector.
The Modern Group, founded by Prince Turki and Al-Hamwah, has a number of strategic partnerships in various sectors, including chemicals, mining and pharmaceuticals, among others.

Do you hire someone to clean your pool?
Started by bunny2 , Jan 31 2013 10:12 AM

The new house that we are moving into has a pool. I have never had a pool before in my life - I know absolutely nothing about swimming pools!
So, is it worthwhile hiring someone to come in regularly to clean and maintain the pool? Is it something that is easy enough for me to do? I have the time to look after it so time is not an issue.
What do you do with your pool maintenance? Do you do it yourself, or do you hire someone to do it for you?
I'm in QLD if that makes any difference.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 10:23 AM
I'd do it myself.
We have a pool, and maintain it ourselves. We do regularly take a water sample to our nearby pool shop - they will test the water for free and give you a printout of any chemicals or salt etc we need to put in. We do have an infloor cleaning system, and just need to occasionally vacumn when the leaves are just a bit too much for the system to handle.
In your situation, it might be worth getting someone to come out to do an initial clean with you there, so you can learn what you need to do yourself.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 11:00 AM
We bought a house with a pool a year ago and the best thing we did was a get a "pool handover", which was the guy from the local pool shop coming out and showing me everything I needed to do to look after the pool. It was great. We have a salt pool so I only test weekly and I may have to occasionally add a bit of acid to bring the PH down, but nothing else. I have an automatic pool vacuum that runs twice a day when the filter is on, very occasionally I will manually vac the pool. We also have a solar blanket we put on at night which keeps some dirt out and reduces evaporation. I have been pleasantly surprised at how little work goes into maintaining the pool. And a tad unpleasantly surprised how much it has added to our electricity bill LOL!
Posted 31 January 2013 - 11:05 AM
DBF's dad can't get the hang of the chemical balance in their pool so they're thinking of getting a saltwater one instead. They are a lot easier maintained and apparently better for the environment.
Pool shops will give you lots of helpful guidelines. It's not really neccessary to hire someone to do it unless you really don't have the time to do it yourself. Just an added expense on top of PP's already mentioned horror at the electricity bill
Posted 31 January 2013 - 11:08 AM
We had a pool at a rental property a couple of years ago and part of the agreement was to keep the pool maintenance guy (also worth noting that this guy was from the same company that built the pool). It was really cheap and meant we never needed to worry about it. Not sure I would get someone else in again if we had a pool as DH is pretty good at these sorts of things, but when he was working away, it was one less thing for me to worry about.
Posted 31 January 2013 - 11:21 AM
We do it ourselves, except for when things go wrong with the equipment. A pool handover service is a great suggestion by the PP.
It is easy once you know what hose plug in where, and which switches do what. As to the checmicals, we have a salt pool and test ourselves with the strips and balance whatever is required (invariably acid!). We get the pool shop to test (free) periodically, or if the water doesn't look quite right.
My biggest tip would be to continue to clean and maintain over winter. Som people let it turn into a swamp
Posted 31 January 2013 - 12:06 PM
Thanks for all your replies. Really helpful.
I think I'll look into getting a pool handover and start learning about it. I don't mind paying for the first few cleans before I get a handle on things.
It's a salt water pool. That's all I know about it so far. I don't think we get a pool cover so that might be something I have to look into.

Help Americans in Need Feed Their Pets
Roll over image to zoom in
Help American families feed their companion pets — and help keep pets from being surrendered to shelters.
A New York Times article reported on this silent, desperate trouble more than a year ago: "Animal shelters have reported a steep rise in the number of cats and dogs being surrendered as owners face unemployment, home foreclosures, evictions and other financial hardships."
A food aid program for companion animals is about the entire family — when you help the people, you help their pets, and when you help the pets, you're helping the family.
You can help make sure companion pets stay in their homes and receive the nutrition they need, and help ease a family's financial burden until they're back on their feet. Just $10 helps a struggling American family provide food for their pets, distributed through our nation's food banks and pet food banks.
Additional funding will be used to provide other pet essentials to families, including pet medicines.

Hasselblad H4D Ferrari edition pictures and hands-on
Hasselblad, the Swedish-based camera company that you've probably heard of but whose camera you are unlikely to have owned, announced in 2010 a partnership with Ferrari to create a limited-edition Hasselblad Ferrari H4D digital medium format camera.
Eighteen months later and Pocket-lint has finally tracked down the limited-edition version of the company's camera at the new Harrods Tech Store in Knightsbridge - persistent, we know.
Only 499 of them have been created and the Ferrari angle comes in via the carmaker's unique colour "rosso fuoco", and bears the legendary racing shield so people can clearly see your love for the car company.
In the hand, and the camera is svelte with a good balance. The model we played with had the 80mm lens on and - sadly, for the price - you don't get the 200 megapixel back.
To make sure you keep the Hasselblad Ferrari H4D safe and sound it is presented in an "exclusively designed and engineered box" that is sealed with a glass top equally labelled with the distinctive Ferrari Racing Shield as well. Hell, why not?
You want one don't you? Good, but you had better start saving, the camera costs a cool £23,999, and no that isn't a typo.

In late 2002, SeaChange International helped Comcast, the nation's leading cable provider, launch the revolutionary "On Demand" service in its Philadelphia cable television market. Offering more than 1800 programming options, including movies, subscription video-on-demand and complementary programming from dozens of national television networks and local broadcasters, the installation became the model for the on-demand service that Comcast is now rolling out to millions of customers across the country.
SeaChange demonstrated the Comcast On Demand service at the recent National Cable & Telecommunications Association's National Show in New Orleans. Since its introduction, SeaChange has provided Comcast with the technology platform for its Atlantic and Eastern Divisions. Additionally, SeaChange is supporting launched services in Los Angeles; Portland, OR; Seattle; and Stockton, CA,; and upcoming deployments in Denver, Sacramento and San Francisco.
"Comcast has enjoyed great success with its on-demand deployments, and we're very proud to work with them," said Bill Styslinger, president and CEO of SeaChange. "The groundwork has been laid for tremendous growth in on-demand television. We look forward to helping Comcast expand its ON DEMAND service in these markets and other parts of the country."
SeaChange's VOD System — a comprehensive technology platform incorporating its patented MediaCluster servers, end-to-end automation software and real-time broadcast recording gear — enables broadband operators to easily enhance on-demand programming services.
SeaChange drives the on-demand business with highly automated and fault-resilient digital video systems. Today, SeaChange VOD systems provide approximately 1,000,000 on-demand streams in more than 100 deployments, including 17 of the top 25 television markets, for North America's largest cable operators including Adelphia, Cablevision, Comcast, Cox Communications, Insight, Mediacom, RCN, Rogers and Time Warner Cable.

Shepparton student's study support
A Shepparton High School graduate has earned a Macpherson Smith Rural Foundation award worth $45,000 across three years to help with the cost of his university studies.ALEXANDRA BOLKAS May 1, 2014 4:06am
Education assistance: Shepparton High School graduate Hussain Alamein earned a Macpherson Smith Rural Foundation award to help with his university study costs.
Hussain Alamein felt nervous and slightly out of place when he began Year 7 at Shepparton High School in 2008.
He said the transition into secondary school was difficult after arriving in Shepparton from Iraq with his parents and three brothers six years earlier.
''When I started school, I fell into the wrong crowd,'' he said.
''It was a difficult transition for me, but I was able to overcome it.''
Mr Alamein, 18, decided to throw himself into academic life and leadership roles within the school.
He became a Year 10 Beacon ambassador and was voted school captain.
After graduating last year, he achieved an ATAR high enough to secure him a place in Melbourne University's undergraduate biomedicine course.
On Tuesday, he returned to his former school stomping ground to be presented with a Macpherson Smith Rural Foundation award worth $45
The aspiring surgeon was one of four scholarship recipients chosen from more than 200 applicants across Victoria.
''I feel very happy — I can't really describe it more than that,'' he said.
''My advice to students would be to work hard from the beginning and study hard and it will all work out.''
Shepparton High School principal Phil Squire said Mr Alamein was a dedicated student and proved himself as a voice for cultural diversity.
''He has been a strong voice speaking on behalf on non-English speaking refugees in school forums,'' he said.
''Like all adolescents, he had some challenges in his early school, but he got himself focused from Year 9 onwards.
''He worked hard to achieve outstanding results and we're absolutely rapt for him.''

There's an element of parody to this jet-black comedy, but the film is so creepy that it gets under our skin. And even if it feels a bit ridiculous, the story challenges us with an exploration of bullying and social pressure that's deeply unsettling. All while writer-director Bates gleefully keeps us off-balance with a shifting mix of broad comedy and growing horror.
It's also a deranged coming-of-age tale about Pauline (McCord), a teen outcast who delusionally believes that she is destined to be a great surgeon. This is mainly because she wants to cure her sister Grace (Winter) of cystic fibrosis. So she teaches herself surgical skills by piercing her nose, among other things. She also propositions a hot classmate (Sumpter) about losing her virginity, partly because this is in her master plan and partly to annoy his mean-girl girlfriend (McCook), and he doesn't refuse. Meanwhile, her mother (Lords) makes it clear that she doesn't like Pauline, treating her husband (Bart) like dirt while doting on Grace.
The film's opening scenes are like a Todd Solondz movie, with grotesque characters saying staggeringly rude things to each other. And as events unfold, each person develops some complexity that makes them intriguing. It also helps that scenes are packed with lively side characters played by starry veterans. McDowell, Matlin and Wise play school employees who are baffled by Pauline's refusal to toe the line. And Waters is dryly hilarious as the sardonic priest Pauline is forced to see for counselling.

Jeremy Sumpter and Gibson Amphitheatre Thursday 12th March 2009 World Premiere Of 'Fast & Furious' held at the Gibson Amphitheatre Universal City, California
The Maiks family was a happy one. Father and two young sons, they had carved out an all American existence after the boy's mother died giving birth to the youngest. Until the boy's father (Bill Paxton) gets a visit from God, bestowing upon him a terrible mission to rid the world of demons, complete with a list of names of real human beings upon which the family is to wreak divine vengeance. And you thought your family was dysfunctional. Still firmly grounded in the real world, 12-year-old Fenton Maiks (Matthew O'Leary) is convinced his father has gone mad, and struggles to find the courage to stop his insane killing spree, before his younger brother is completely brainwashed.

Though it goes against everything he stands for, this rejuvenated Pan actually shows signs of growth and maturity. Special effects advancements help Peter and his cohorts pop off the screen. Cinematographer Donald McAlpine expands the rich color palette he utilized in such vivid films as Moulin Rogue and Romeo + Juliet. And director P.J. Hogan slips in subplots of unrequited love, develops pangs of loneliness, and mixes fleeting flights of happiness with his heroism.
Continue reading: Peter Pan (2003) Review
In an era of severely dumbed-down children's movies, the first live-action "Peter Pan" picture since the silent era does something extraordinary -- it un-Disneyfies the story, revives the deeper themes of J.M. Barrie's original book and play, and emerges as an appropriately wily family-fare delight.
From its exquisite, Maxfield-Parish-inspired Neverland of golden sunlight, lush green forests and cotton-candy clouds to the quintessently pubescent and enigmatically tingly chemistry between Peter (the strangely pretty 14-year-old Jeremy Sumpter) and Wendy (the even prettier 13-year-old Rachel Hurd-Wood), the film is a vivid and surprisingly visceral experience.
Director P.J. Hogan ("My Best Friend's Wedding") evokes the true wonder of childhood in the eyes of his young stars as Peter Pan, the mythical leafy-clad boy who refused to grow up, hovers with the power of happy thoughts and fairy dust outside the third-story window of Wendy Darling on a snowy night in 1900s London, engrossed in the stories of adventure that the girl spins with wide-eyed zeal for her little bothers John and Michael.
Continue reading: Peter Pan Review
At the end of the religious nut killer thriller "Frailty," my eyes were so sore from rolling at the film's predictability and narrative loopholes I could barely see straight.
The directorial debut of actor Bill Paxton ("Titanic," "Twister") -- who also plays the movie's ax-wielding mad dad who considers himself a demon-slayer doing God's will -- the movie opens with good ol' boy Fenton Meiks (Matthew McConaughey) dropping in at the office of an FBI agent (Powers Boothe) to spill the beans about a serial killer in the family.
It seems that when he was a boy, his widowed father (Paxton) started killing people whose names he said he got from God. It wasn't long before his younger brother got into the act too, and Fenton has been holding on to this dark secret since he was 10. But now, he says, it's time to turn his brother in as the "God's Hands" killer that the feds have been hunting for years.

Latvians still haunted by fears of annexation: Two years after independence, Russian troops remain, writes Adrian Bridge in Riga
Tuesday 15 June 1993
A convoy of more than 20 fully loaded, combat-ready Russian tanks, ostensibly on its way by rail to Kaliningrad, had stopped just outside Riga. 'My immediate thought was: 'Christ, could this be it?' ' he recalled. 'What if those tanks start rolling down off the platforms?'
In the end, Mr Plavoskis, Latvia's Deputy Defence Minister, who had been in charge at the time, sent out a couple of patrol cars to check what the tanks were up to. With an army of fewer than 1,000 men, no heavy artillery and no fighter aircraft, he was hardly in a position to challenge them, had intentions been hostile. Fortunately it was a false alarm, and the train resumed its journey.
'We frequently get such scares,' said Mr Pavlovskis, an American-Latvian who came to Riga early last year to help build up the armed forces. 'With so many Russian forces still in our midst, we can never rest easy.'
The fear of a fresh annexation is embedded in the psyche of Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians, who cannot forget how easily their countries were swallowed up by Stalin in 1940. Many find it unbearable that, nearly two years after independence, there are still Russian troops here. The number has undoubtedly gone down - from 150,000 in 1990 to some 50,000 today - but many Balts feel they will never be free until the last Russian soldier has left.
In Lithuania, that day is fast approaching. According to an agreement struck between Moscow and Vilnius late last year, the Russian pull-out should, barring last minute hiccups, be completed by 31 August.
Latvia and Estonia, in which there are still estimated to be some 30,000 and 8,000 troops respectively, are being made to wait longer. In addition to arguing that there are simply no flats to house returning soldiers back home, Moscow has frequently sought to link the question of troop withdrawals from these countries to what it claims are systematic human rights violations against their large ethnic Russian populations.
To the consternation of Riga and Tallinn, Boris Yeltsin said last October he was suspending troop pull-outs from Latvia and Estonia until the alleged violations ended. He formally linked the two issues again during his summit with Bill Clinton in Vancouver in April.
With many international human rights observers denying the Russian allegations, Latvians and Estonians say such talk is simply a screen to disguise ulterior motives - the desire to hold on to the strategic Baltic territories for as long as possible.
Once the troops have gone the huge task of clearing up the mess they leave behind will begin. The Latvian port of Liepaja has already been turned into a graveyard for former Soviet ships and submarines that have been stripped of all valuable metals and left to rust.
'It is an environmental nightmare,' Mr Pavlovskis said. 'But first we want to get the troops out. Then we will argue about who pays for it.'

Syria fighting 370.
(photo credit:Goran Tomasevic / Reuters)
CEYLANPINAR, Turkey - Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad bombarded the Ras al-Ain area on the border with Turkey on Sunday, days after the town fell to rebels during an advance that has sent thousands of refugees fleeing for safety.Helicopters circled above the town and opposition activists said they had strafed targets near the village of Tal Halaf.The Arab and Kurdish town of Ras al-Ain fell to the Free Syrian Army on Thursday in fighting that sent 9,000 fleeing in a 24-hour period, one of a largest refugee influxes into Turkey of the 19-month civil war.Tank rounds slammed into the western part of the town on Sunday and a Reuters reporter on the Turkish side of the border saw black smoke rising over the area.Rebels and forces loyal to Assad exchanged artillery fire and some rounds appeared to land just inside Turkey."It's a disaster over there," a man shouted to reporters as he crossed into the Turkish town of Ceylanpinar. Ambulances with sirens wailing ferried wounded people from the Turkish side of the border for treatment at a local clinic.With winter setting in, over 120,000 Syrians are now sheltering in Turkish camps, deepening alarm in Ankara.Turkey has already beefed up security on its southeastern border with Syria, in an area of the country where it is also fighting an emboldened insurgency by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).Increasingly critical of the failure of world powers to halt the war, Turkey is in discussions with NATO allies over the possible deployment of Patriot surface-to-air missiles to defend against any spillover of violence.The move could also be a step towards enforcing a no-fly zone within Syria to limit the reach of Assad's air power.An estimated 4 million Syrians to require aid by 2013The latest escalation along the Turkish border comes after a senior UN official on Friday warned that an estimated 4 million people in Syria will need humanitarian aid by early next year, up from the current 2.5 million whose needs the world is already failing to meet fully.John Ging, director of operations at the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), painted a bleak outlook for civilians caught up in intensifying civil war between Syrian government forces and rebels."If the current rate of conflict continues at the current pace we can reasonably project that numbers in need to rise from 2.5 million to 4 million by the early new year," Ging told a news briefing after chairing the Syrian Humanitarian Forum."Every day our humanitarian colleagues on the ground are engaging with people who are ever more desperate, ever more fearful for their lives and for the lives of their families because of this conflict," he said.

Kurt (orionmystery.blogspot.com) says:
"Brian has always been a great influence in my macro photography. His macro/close-up work has inspired me so much and still continues to do so. I have learned so much from him! Leaf holding trick, macro panorama, focus stacking, animation/gif - just to name a few. Brian's refraction images are out of this world and second to none!
Brian is also one of the nicest and most helpful persons you'll find in any forums!"
July 6th, 2010
Casseris says:
"Brian is one of the macro masters on Flickr and in other online and published magazines and sites. He has taken the time to learn his craft and apply it in ways that others can only dream of.
A lot can be learnt simply by viewing the photos in his photo stream. He has also taken the time to answer a lot of questions in his Flickr group "Macro Viewers" which has been received very well by photographers new to the macro world.
Apart from learning from his photos if you simply want to enjoy the small world we take for granted everyday then take the time to go through his portfolio and enjoy."

Fir.. says:
"First time I viewed Brian's photostream I got hooked rightaway. The macro images he took are absolutely phenomenal. I spent hours looking at his photostream and can't get enough of his work. He is one of my favorite macro photographers and he is truly an inspirational photographer. I am so VERY honored to be one of his contacts. Thank you Brian especially for all the advice you gave me. Truly appreciate it :)"

The Bald Eagle1 says:
"I have been fortunate to have seen many of Brian's fantastic images. He has been a true source of inspiration for me and many others. His willingness to help others is what really makes him stand out head and shoulders above the rest. His body of work in the Macro realm is Magical."

AirBrontosaurus says:
"Brian is far and away the best macro shooter I have ever seen. Not only are his photos good technically, but they have a certain quality about them that is tough to define. His fly pictures look almost surreal. The detail is such that it makes you look twice. His water-drop reflections/refractions are absolutely stunning. His focus-stacks come out looking amazing, and his cross-eyed stereograms work the first time, every time.
Thanks Brian, for being a teacher and an inspiration to me and many others. Keep on shooting those macros!"

omeuceu says:
"Brian has the best macro I saw around flickr and even beat any Canon EOS-1D Mark II N :) Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II :). He doesn´t need these camera. He is the CAMERA! Sometimes, the photos are just outearth! Brian takes mm level to us with so crisp images. Brian, the brain of macros and a real lord of Nature! :) Thank you, Brian!"

"Being able to see more than I ever wanted to know about tiny flies and such
is something I really enjoy about Lord V's amazing photos.
Always worth checking up on what he's found next,
there seem to be years of flickr photos right in his hedges.
His patience and photography skills produce flickr gems for us to peer at.
(Though, the cross-eye stereograms
tire my eyes out just thinking about them.) ;-)"
June 26th, 2006
Digital Gurl says:
"I must admit that I was a fan of Brian's macro photography long before I found his Flickr stream. He posts his fabulous work in forums and galleries across the internet. Each time I view one of his macro shots, my jaw drops to the floor! He seems to have a natural talent for shooting these incredible and amazing images! The detail is beyond belief.
Two words come to my mind whenever I see the name "LordV" ..... WOW and AWESOME! If you are not viewing his fantastic Flickr Stream of macros, you are missing one of the visual treats of a lifetime! Brian is definitely "da man" when it comes to creative and brilliant macro work!
Keep shooting and sharing Brian because this "Flickrette" enjoys your AMAZING MACRO's"

I am Hai, an iOS freelance developer. I have 7 years experience in Software Development, worked for some companies coming from United State of America, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Europe. 7 years working in professional environment give me a lot of things, such as Software Development process, Quality Assurance process, architecture and design pattern, etc... I must say that I love programming when I was a child, felt passionate when playing a game, and I want to make my dreams of game development happens when I grow up. 7 years in professional development, but I have 3 years in freelancing. 3 years, just a small time, right? But I love the way of freelancing, love the way receiving customer's requirement and make their dreams real. That's it. I sure that everyone have a dream, and of course, many dreams. If you would like to tell your dreams to me, don't hesitate. I will try to make your dreams come true. Maybe not in real life, but sure It will happen in a game.
