Abstract Raven is the third stage of the West Nile Delta development (following Taurus / Libra and Giza / Fayoum) from two BP-operated offshore concession blocks, North Alexandria and West Mediterranean Deepwater. The Raven project included the design of various rigid pipelines, of which one specifically is the subject of this paper. The 16" RSM to RP in-field flowline is approximately 4.8 km long, connecting a manifold (RSM) to a PLEM (RP) through a route that crosses a prominent geological feature identified as the Rosetta Channel, a submerged canyon that extends for about 30 km. The Rosetta Channel is about 2.5 km wide at the location of the 16" flowline route crossing, with steep slopes going down for approx. 40m (in height) on the RSM side, and then climbing up approx. 150m (in height) towards the RP side. Although it is typically preferred to avoid very rough geophysical features, this is not always possible or practicable and it is not uncommon to come across challenging seabed features that demand complex engineering solutions in order to minimise risks and associated costs. This paper addresses the numerous technical challenges involved in the design of the 16" flowline that crosses the Rosetta Channel. Following close collaboration between all involved stakeholders, a robust, reliable and cost-effective solution was achieved after a detailed engineering process, where the final design required a unique combination of mitigations including seabed excavation, pre-lay rock carpets, post-lay rock berms, cable jetting, curve bollards and sleepers.

Western Historiography

Abstract This article reviews attempts to define histories of world literature during the late 19th and first half of the 20th century. It submits that “World Literature” and national philology are two sides of the same coin, in that they serve to produce specific national identities and legitimize colonial hegemonic practices. Astonishingly, some patterns of these early histories of world literature can still be observed in contemporary theoretical debates on the subject. Thus, it is argued that, rather than dismissing this heritage of Western historiography (with or without condemnation), we should strive seriously to come up with alternative histories, wherein “West” is no longer treated as synonymous with “world,” and vice versa. The West should be seen as just one form of society and culture among the many others, all of which are due consideration when invoking the term “world.”

First Time

I am honored to be among such a distinguished group of people whohave contributed so much to identifying the problems besetting the Islamicworld. The subject under discussion highly strategic, especially atthis time of sweeping upheaval and disruption that has been anticipatedfor years by future studies specialists. I thus have no illusions about theawesome task we face and am fully aware of the subject’s complexity.I have been working in the field of future studies for over twenty-fiveyears and have participated in approximately two hundred internationalconferences and seminars related to this subject. This is the first time, Ithink, that an international symposium has been entirely devoted to theidentification and analysis of current and anticipated problems as relatedto Islam. This is a sign of the maturity of the Islamic world, and similarinitiatives must be encouraged in the future with the hope of initiatingand supporting concrete research projects in this important am.Given the countries of origin of this symposium’s participants, I hopethat its sponsors Will consider extending its activities beyond the scopeof the Arab world. After all, Arabs are only 20 percent of the total Muslimpopulation. When dealing with Islam, we must all beware of ethnocentrictemptations, for Islam calls for a diversity that is conducive tounity. This prescription is enshrined in the Qur’an:0 mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and havemade you nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo!the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct.(49: 13)Accordingly, I consider this symposium to be a sort of rehearsal forother meetings to come and which will be more representative of the realitiesand potentialities of the Islamic world. We should therefore avoidthe confusing generalization which has l&l the West to apply the specificreality of the Arab region to all countries of the Islamic world. This is notto be regarded as a critical stand against this symposium, but rather as anexpression of a personal reservation concerning possible attempts to ...

Yeoman Farmer

John Read was born at Maiden Newton in the county of Dorset on 17 February 1884. His father John Read (1814-1889) was a yeoman farmer whose ancestors had lived on the land in South Somerset for many generations. His mother, Bessie Gatcombe (1854-1904), came of an old Dorset family, engaged mainly in agriculture, and, down to the period of his parents, no member of their families thought of leaving the land. John Read, the subject of this memoir, was the first to become a ‘scholar’ and he himself ascribed this to the insistence of his schoolmasters and the fact that he gained in succession three of the newly founded Somerset County Scholarships. At the time of his death in 1889 Read’s father occupied the Hall Farm at Sparkford in Somerset, which his mother and her brother continued to carry on until about 1898. John’s early experiences were of life in a large family— he was twelfth in a series consisting of five half-brothers, six half-sisters and one full sister—in rural Somerset. He was proud of his West Country origin, upbringing and education and he maintained throughout his long life a profound interest in the West of England, which his deep affection for St Andrews, gained later in his life, did nothing to diminish. During his boyhood at Sparkford, broad dialect was spoken, and each villager was a distinct personality possessing a wise compound of country lore and practical skill. Read mingled freely with all, from farmers and dealers to carpenters and labourers, with the result that at an early age he became bilingual, and for the rest of his life he was able to think, speak and write in the South-east Somerset dialect as readily as in English. His mother, who had received no more than a simple old-world education confined to the three R ’s, nevertheless had a flair for history and literature and this was passed on to her son. In those days books were hard to come by, but the few available were familiar from cover to cover. Amongst these were Hume’s History of England and the poetical works of Sir Walter Scott. So great was his interest in Scott that Read records that by the age of seventeen he had read the whole of Scott’s works including the introductions and notes.

White Rhino

In the West Nile District of Uganda lives a population of white rhino—those relies of a past age, cumbrous, gentle creatures despite their huge bulk—which estimates only 10 years ago, put at 500. But poachers live in the area, too, and official counts showed that white rhino were being reduced alarmingly. By 1959, they were believed to be diminished to 300.

New Strategies

In the era of Globalization, advancement of technology and stiff competition, particularly, in the I.T. Industry, companies have to adopt new H.R. strategies and practices so as to constantly evolve and grow. In this context, existing recruitment strategies have to be replaced by new strategies. Many companies are now extensively depending on the internet to connect to larger audiences globally. Organizations are in a position to attract profiles, resumes from potential candidates by announcing their vacancies on their own websites. E-recruitment is evoking interest among the companies typically over the last few years. The spread of information technology and growth of Internet has paved way for companies willing to hunt for talent on the job seeking websites. In the years to come, social networking will soon be an indispensable part of the hiring process. It is cost effective, does not require setting up an office and forms an effective tool for recruiters. The main purpose of this study was to understand the application of factor analysis in social science research and to reduce a large number of variables into manageable smaller factors for further analysis of the employers’ perception on social media recruitment with reference to the I.T. Sector in Bangalore.
