Sept 28 (Reuters) - BP Plc laid off most contractors at the approximately 160,000 barrel-per-day Toledo, Ohio, refinery it owns with Cenovus Energy Inc (CVE.TO), according to sources familiar with the matter on Wednesday, indicating that the plant will experience a prolonged shutdown following last week's explosion and fire. The more than 100-year-old refinery has been offline since the middle of last week following the explosion and could be shut for several months. Leaking fumes from a crude unit may have caused the ignition in another unit at the facility, a source told Reuters. In August, Cenovus said it would buy the remaining 50% stake it does not already own in the BP-Husky Toledo Refinery. In 2008, Husky Energy Inc formed a joint venture with BP by acquiring a 50% stake in the Toledo refinery.

Da, animalul meu de companie e un criminal, un ucigaș, fără pic de dragoste și milă. L-am adoptat acum patru luni și de atunci viața mea s-a schimbat în totalitate. Are căsuța lui aparte, un teritoriu unde aleargă toată ziua și reprezintă o motivație și o împlinire pentru băiatul care l-a luat. Am găsit, am sunat specialistul care a venit și a luat-o. Când simt că jocul iese de sub control o iau în brațe și o liniștesc.

(video) Un cuplu și-a lăsat câinele să le filmeze nunta, iar rezultatul este unul amuzant și viralÎn timp ce majoritatea caută fotografi pentru a înregistra nunta într-un mod cât mai profesionist, Addie și Marshall Burnette, din SUA, au decis să-l angajeze în acestă poziție chiar pe propriul lor câine de rasă husky. Ei au prins o cameră GoPro de câinele familiei, iar camera a înregistrat ceremonialul în funcție de mișcarea patrupedului. Cei doi tineri s-au căsătorit pe muntele Roan, Tennesse, iar Ryder a fost liber să zburde în jurul lor. „Câinele nostru, Ryder, a reuşit să surprindă momente mult mai spectaculoase decât orice profesionist”, au spus cei doi îndrăgostiţi. Ce a înregistrat acesta, priviți în videoclipul de mai jos:
