BP's White House deal: What the analysts say Our panel of investment experts assess the pros and cons of BP's White House dealCity experts believe the agreement hammered out between BP and President Obama should help it to rebuild its relationships in Washington, and protect the company's future. But with three quarterly dividend payments axed, investors will bear the pain for many months.Gordon Gray and James Evans of Collins StewartAlthough on balance an unavoidable negative, yesterday's news was largely discounted and we see two positives:1) BP's payments into the claims fund are phased over such a period as to make them reasonably manageable on our estimates, putting less stress on the balance sheet that many had feared.2) This process may be seen as a necessity if BP is to have a long-term future in the US, and it should give BP a starting base for re-establishing its relationships with key US administrators and with the US population.Alan Sinclair of Seymour PierceWhilst BP continues to emphasise its financial strength, the message is not entirely consistent with that promulgated at the recent investor conference call. Indeed, the company is now talking about a significant shrinking of organic capital expenditure. Given that the market will have to wait until Q1 2011 for guidance on the dividend, it is hard to see why the shares will do better than perform in line with the wider market. Thus, we move to a hold recommendation from buy (buy since 14 January 2009).Jon Rigby, Anish Kapadia and Caroline Hickson of UBSWhile BP should expect a significant penalty as a result of its Macondo spill these events have no precedent. In order to try to protect its large US business BP has accepted fairly draconian measures that have little legal enforceability but, we hope, lay the foundations for normalising its relation 投資専門家の私達のパネルは、長所とBP社のホワイトハウスのdealCity専門家の短所を評価して契約はBP社とオバマ大統領との間にはワシントンで、その関係を再構築に役立つだろうから打ち出し、信じて、会社の未来を守る
'The mystery is enough': Susan Lipper on the Grapevine series The photographer discusses sexual segregation in West Virginia and avoiding stereotypes about the American southTell me about the gestation of the Grapevine series of photographs?About 20 years ago I travelled down to the South and roamed around the Appalachians essentially looking for a subject. I found it in Grapevine Hollow. There are actually four Grapevines in West Virginia but this one isn't even on the map. I was down there for two years before I found it. There are maybe 50 people in the community, spread out on the mountain. I've been going back there every summer ever since.Were the people initially suspicious of you?Well a girl from the north with a camera was a source of some ... not suspicion ... but novelty, I guess. But they opened their houses to me and they said I could stay. One family pointed up the mountain and told me I could be buried there. I've come to love the place and the people. I go back every summer. I ring Grapevine almost every night. It's a real friendly place even though there is some crazy stuff that goes on there.What was your initial intention for the project?I came out of the Yale photography programme. Walker Evans was certainly a touchstone, but what I do is not a sociopolitical treatise on the area. I'm not making any big statement. In terms of subject matter, I was primarily interested in male-female relationships. I went down there from New York and I saw a bunch of scenarios I hadn't ever been around. Let's just say it was a much more traditional place with non-urban values. Photographers were still going down there to do the stereotypical take on the rural south and hillbillies and all that, and I wanted to deal with that in the photographs, too.You certainly play with those tropes in a pretty provocative way.The society is p カメラマンは？約20年前、私は南まで旅し、アパラチア山脈は、基本的に対象を探しに歩き回った写真グレープバインシリーズの妊娠私のアメリカsouthTell約ウエストバージニア州の性的差別を回避するステレオタイプについて説明します
Painting the pit men: writers must dig for the real Chilean miners The Chilean miners' story is sure to be turned into a film. But – as I discovered writing my play about Britain's biggest mining disaster – the real-life voices of the characters are what matterDaniel Bye wrote recently about the satisfaction of hearing his native Middlesbrough accent in a stage play. He made the point that authenticity is essential if a dramatist is to create an accurate picture of our lives, past and present. I agree. My play Senghenydd tells the story of Britain's biggest mining disaster, the 98th anniversary of which falls today. The explosion in the South Wales pit killed 440 men and boys, 23 aged between 14 and 16 (one of the fatalities was a rescuer). The cause, as with the Chilean miners, was a lack of adequate safety procedures. As a piece of social history, the story of corporate greed, exploitation, heroism and the way in which a community can pull together is as relevant today as it was a century ago.The heroism is awe-inspiring. With hand-held fire extinguishers, no breathing apparatus for three hours and no water supply below ground, the Senghenydd rescuers worked in visibility of a few inches and almost unbearable temperatures. They brought up 489 men and boys (there were nearly a thousand men below ground when the explosion went off); the rest were trapped behind a wall of fire. Miraculously, 18 men were rescued from beyond the flames. They included a distant cousin of mine, Joe Evans, who was aged 19 at the time – a fact that I discovered by chance in a conversation with my great-uncle over two decades ago. It was a piece of family and social history about which I knew nothing.Drama can tell us our history through the eyes of the best witnesses, the people who lived it. So before I started writing I went in search of their voices. I se チリ鉱夫の話は映画になっているはずです

The Guardian's Science Weekly podcast: It's all about altitude at World Cup 2010 Steve Haake, head of sports engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, joins us to explain why altitude could make the difference between triumph and disaster at World Cup 2010 in South Africa. He also predicts that goalkeepers will be moaning about the design of the balls. Steve will be giving a talk at the Royal Institution on 8 June. We look at some of your responses to last week's live recording of this podcast at the Science Museum in London. Following a discussion at the Hay Festival on 10 years of the Human Genome Project, we reveal what Nobel laureates John Sulston and Martin Evans, and Michael Morgan, former CEO of the Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, had to say about Craig Venter's creation of the world's first synthetic genome. We visited the Royal Society's exhibition celebrating its 350th anniversary. Keith Moore, its librarian, tells us about Robert Boyle's list of scientific ambitions. View a gallery of the Royal Society exhibition here. In the newsjam we discuss the ban on mephedrone, trials to begin on a breast cancer vaccine, a resignation over GM foods, and why six men will be spending 520 days locked inside a spaceship in a Moscow car park. Guardian science correspondent Ian Sample and Observer science editor Robin McKie were on hand in the studio to throw around the World Cup ball.
