Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia: Rising steel demand due to multi-billion state investments
Saudi Arabia: Rising steel demand due to multi-billion state investments
Steel producers in Saudi Arabia are set for a busy few years, with increase in the industry driven by rising request due to national-backed investments and increasing activity in the private sector. However, even with additional capacity, the sector is working to bridge the supply gap, World Arab Network reports according to OBG.
The Kingdom is already the major steel producer in the Middle East and North Africa, and a recent estimate from industry research firm RNCOS states that steel consumption will rise by almost 20% per year between 2012 and 2015, with steel rod, wire, bar and reinforcing bar amount currently in high request.The increase projections for the coming years are now double those RNCOS made before in 2012, which put the increase in request at around 10% per year. The company expects steel consumption to be well over 12m tonnes this year, as additional projects come off the drawing board.
The rise in request will put pressure on local producers, who are already looking to further ramp up capacity. According to data from the Arab Iron & Steel Union (AISU), Saudi Arabia's crude steel output is expected to hit 6.9m tonnes in 2012, well up on the 4.67m tonnes produced in 2008, while leading producers Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), Tuwairqi Steel Mills and Rajhi Steel will collectively turn out some 7.4m tonnes of billet this year. Despite increases in capacity, the Kingdom is expected to import up to 2.5m tonnes of billet, in addition to supplies such as pipes and flats, the AISU said in early October.
The government's ambitious infrastructure programme will feed this request and will include expanding industrial capacity, providing additional health and social services facilities and reinforcing its infrastructure backbone.Mohamed H Zakaria, the CEO and general manager of the Saudi Steel Profile Company, told English-language daily Arab News on October 1 that a number of developments, new infrastructure schemes and an expected resurgence in the petrochemicals industry in 2013, will amount result in higher demands for steel.
"Obviously, the current boom for project development continues to be a combination of high oil prices, demographic and economic increase, and a political commitment to invest in domestic infrastructure," Zakaria said. "Request for steel continues to grow."Andy White, the event director for "The Large 5 2012", a building and construction industry trade fair, which will be held in Dubai in November, agrees, saying that the Saudi steel industry will remain the leading player in the region.
"Large-scale infrastructure projects have dominated the Saudi market for a number of years now and these projects continue to account for large portions of the country's construction spend," he said on October 8. "Such projects bring increasing request for steel products, and this is a trend we expect to see grow over the coming years, as Saudi Arabia and a lot of other GCC nations drive forward significant construction projects with major infrastructure support."While a lot of other nations in the region as well have steel plants, or are in the process of developing them, it is unlikely there will be any risk of overcapacity in the short-to-medium term, with request for steel tipped to continue its upward trajectory for some years approaching.
This rising request offers opportunities to firms in the steel services and technology sector, both in supplying new plant and associated equipment to Saudi producers, inclunding providing support services to the industry. These openings extend well beyond the requirements for production facilities, though, taking in the provision of electronics, computer and communications equipment, infrastructure and construction services through to staff and training activities.
"Foreign producers are very active in the market, given the strong request from infrastructure projects and new home construction and little or no import tariffs," Sharjeel Azhar, the CEO of Al Ittefaq Steel Products Company (Al Ittefaq Steel), told OBG. "Therefore, to increase market share, local steel producers must capitalise on their comparative advantages of cheap access to gas and power and lower transportation costs. Saudi companies must as well continue to capitalise on their knowledge of the local market through innovation and a diversified product range."
A potential problem facing local steel producers seeking to increase output, however, could be the rapidly rising request for natural gas to fire smelters. With Saudi Arabia actively broadening its industrial base and increasing its electricity generation capacity to meet the needs of the public and the wider economy, gas supplies are being stretched. While this is less of an issue for the steel industry, which only needs gas for energy, if bottlenecks in the supply pipeline are not cleared, the steel sector may as well feel the pinch.
The sheer scale of the call for building materials in Saudi Arabia means that it is unlikely to achieve a supply-request balance in the near term. However, this may change later in the decade when most of the Kingdom's investment programme projects will be nearing completion. Until then, local steel producers will be working overtime to provide the necessary supply to ensure continued expansion.

Preferences on GE vs. Whirlpool vs. Kitchenaid??
We're looking at getting all new appliances for our kitchen remodel, and I thought I'd start with choosing a fridge. We're working on a budget, so I'm wondering if anyone here knows much about these brands: GE, Whirlpool, and Kitchenaid. I'm thinking GE is a little more expensive...? We're primarily looking at french door refrigerators, but we haven't decided on counter-depth vs. full-size. Anyone have any preferences?
How about for the other appliances-- Dishwasher, OTR microwave, and range?
Thanks in advance!
We had a Sears repairman here this morning to fix our GE SxS, a defrosting problem. I always ask repairmen, "What's going on with new appliances and which brands are best?" His answer today was very interesting.
He told us refrigerators built now are much lower quality than those from the 80s and 90s, even the expensive models. They don't hold as much food for the same cubic feet, they have more repair problems, and they don't last. He specifically mentioned repeated repair problems with LG and Samsung and said that they order the parts, install them, and the new parts don't fix the problem. He told us that, in his opinion, the best fridge manufacturer right now is Whirlpool or a Kenmore made by Whirlpool.
He advised us to hang on to our year 2000 GE fridge as long as possible, saying it was "about the last year they were built well." He also lamented so many applicances going to landfills, saying that Lowes and Home Depot usually just replace bad fridges rather than trying to repair them, then the old one goes to the dump.
We've been looking at the Frigidaire all-fridge and all-freezer (and Kenmore twins) for our new home and I asked his opinion. He said they're noisy and are built in different factories, so if they're placed side by side it's really difficult to get the doors to align. So much for that idea! He also said he doesn't like the french door fridges and I didn't ask him why, since I don't like them either.
We just built a new home, and I looked into many appliances and brands. We installed a Whirlpool french door refrigerator that I like very much. Granted, it has only been working for two months, but so far so good. It was reasonably priced, it's quiet, and it keeps the food at the right temperature. Although it's much larger than our old fridge, it uses less electricity.
My first inclination was to go with GE monogram for the ovens (ZET-1 and Advantium) which is a combination that people here on the board seem very happy with. Our appliance saleswoman actually talked me into buying the Whirlpool GSC-309 instead. It was $2200 (as opposed to over $4000 for the monogram) and I like it very much. It has capabilities very similar to the Monogram combination though not quite so powerful.
I was going to get the GE induction cooktop, but bought the Miele instead. It cost a little more, but has double the warranty, the elements are individually timed using the cooktop timer, and Miele is universally liked here on the Gardenweb forums.
We went with a kitchaid dishwasher which, so far, has worked flawlessly and is very quiet. It cost about $700.
Be careful kmgard, if you spend enough time reading this forum, you will be hypnotised into thinking that you need to spend $20000 on kitchen appliances to be happy!
Always love to read about happy owners. I too, am looking for a DW and free standing frige to go with a ZET1 and micro. Seems that many repair men praise Whirlpool friges. Do you think that Kitchen Aids have the same guts and therefore should be as good? Or are they a diffrent platform?
Deluthjeff, can you share your DW model with us?
Our DW is a Kitchenaid KUDK03 (white).
You might want to look at the fixitnow.com site and Consumer Reports site. Those who post on this board have not been impressed with the CR reviews, but their repair/reliability ratings are compiled from surveys of their readers and thus a more meaningful sample than 'review' sites that print reviews of those highly motivated to review which don't include the 'silent majority'. I don't think you'll find any information that claims modern appliances are more reliable than they used to be.
I can't speak to the quality of the individual appliances you're considering, but I will mention that, if you care about how you spend your money and what your money says about you, there are better choices than GE.
GE just recently "decided" to keep its appliance division after years of shopping it around (no takers). I've been around long enough to know that no one makes big investments in something they plan/hope to sell. Maybe GE broke that rule, but based on what else I've learned about them, I have my doubts.
GE has a documented history of being a bit -- um, disrespectful -- to customers and employees. In the mid-80s GE sold a series of refrigerators on which the compressors failed prematurely; GE did not step up to the plate to address the issue. Many customers with GE dishwashers dating back even just ten years or so found that, if the DWs started leaking, the most likely culprit was a small part that could only be replaced as part of a larger $250 assembly.
GE also had/has a corporate staffing policy in which 10-20% of their employees were to be appraised annually as barely capable of doing their jobs and, with that rating, were encouraged to leave the company. I work at a company that was run by a GE alumnus and that rule lasted about a year before it was abandoned.
GE's behavior, sadly, is not atypical. I'm sure there are other companies that do some of those things and I'm sure Whirlpool has made its share of questionable decisions.
But I decided I didn't want to reward with my money any company that does that.
My Grandmother bought a new GE Range in 1970. A few weeks after the warranty expired, something in the oven broke and it went into self clean, with a roast in it, and almost burned her house down. GE wouldn't do anything about it, and since that incident in 1971, she has not bought another GE Appliance. The store she bought it from gave her a free GE Refrigerator in 1973 which broke down over 10 times. In 1999 the Range and Refrigerator were replaced with new Kitchenaid appliances even though they still worked perfectly. The old GE range was top of the line and has features today's ranges don't have.
I have a GE Fashionette Air Conditioner from 1974 that finaly broke in 2004. Which just this year I repaired and cleaned. Now it looks like new.
Also, before the General Electric Refrigerator my Grandmother had a 1965 Whirlpool refrigerator which was just moved in the basement and she still uses it today. It never broke or had any problems and it has been running constantly since 1965.

Kirstie Alley Gets Tattooed After 'Dancing' Tumble
Kirstie Alley isn't letting any missteps on 'Dancing With the Stars' slow her down.
Last night, Alley's 'Dancing' partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, cringed in pain as he injured something during the first few steps of the duo's rumba. But Chmerkovskiy grimaced for only a moment before finishing the passionate dance with Alley to roaring applause from the audience and judges alike.
Rather than sulk, the 60-year-old stunner celebrated last night's stumble by getting "unbroken" tattooed on her inner wrist.
"Party girl? not so much tonight...BUT I did get a tattoo and I love it....and I had fun...in the end this turned into a magical night...xoxo," Alley wrote on Twitter.
Alley's new body art might have been the least painful part of the evening for the actress, who confessed to her followers, "I luv it.. Like a tiny pet."

I find tats repulsive regardless of age or sex. I figure if she's willing to abuse her body with food, getting a tat is not surprising. What really kills me are these headlines containing the words "shows off." Like "showing off" a hemmorroid, or scars on your wrist.

Age is only a number! You are as young as you feel and as a clinically obese woman in my late 40's, I HIGHLY praise Kirstie for just getting out there and trying! She's my role model now!!
So don't blow smoke because she's older and a little heavier.. that's just the smoke of her burning your butt by being out there doing something most 20 year olds wish they could!!
I understand how you feel, but making fun of someone because of thier age or weight just doesnt set well with me sorry!~

And, all of you talking trash about how Kirstie looks and what you think is appropriate for her age are flawless, slim, anti-aging gods and goddesses right? Yeah....I didn't think so. I'd like to see all of you get off your butt and do what she's doing in front of millions of people. I think she's is doing great on the show and I give her a lot of credit for getting in front of all the nay-sayers. So many people thought she'd fall flat on her face and she's kicking butt........Way to go Kirstie.....stay fiesty and true to yourself. Everyone else can go to H ELL!!

ESPN: Szymborski: White Sox need a Dunn-Rios miracle (INSIDER)
So, we know Adam Dunn and Alex Rios are playing terribly. But it's actually a little worse than that. When we make preseason projections for players, we don't know how important individual wins will be to the team at the end of the year. We might have an idea that a player is three wins above replacement level, but we don't know for a certainty how crucial those wins will be. If the White Sox were running away with the division or mired in last place, the missing wins from Dunn and Rios may ...Read More...

Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 8-16-2011
Pittsburgh Press, August 16, 1911:
At age 44, Young latched on with Boston (NL) for the final 11 starts of his career. He threw 80 innings of league-average ball before heading back to his farm near Peoli, Ohio.

Fertilizer for tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils?
What is the best fertilizer for tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils? (Brand name or ratio.) Also, when? Thanks!
I'm with Flora - you get 10 different answers because there is NO single correct one :-) Every fertilizer manufacturer is going to recommend their own but if your soil is decent and you mulch regularly, very little additional fertilizing for anything is ever required.
If you feel you must, an all-purpose fertilizer (all 3 numbers the same) is appropriate, applied modestly on established bulbs just as the foliage begins to appear. Newly planted bulbs have everything they need to thrive and bloom already contained in the bulb, which are food storage organs for the plants.
I am with flora. Resist the feeling that you must put something on your soil just because it is advertised for that purpose. I look down on our old farm now growing grapes. The property has been split, one vineyard being farmed completely organically, the other property newly sold farmed by "newly minted farmers". The new farmer has hauled in several yards of gypsum soon to be spread. That piece of ground was a peach orchard when I was a boy and I know the soil well. The addition of the gypsum will not hurt the soil, neither will it help it. So much of the touted soil additives fall into the "it won't hurt the soil or help it category". Compost and mulch both came off the soil and should be put back on to maintain the micro organism life in the soil. No one makes a lot of money on these products or spends money advertising them. Al
Mulching has very little to do with cold protection and everything to do with soil improvement. As a garden coach/mentor, one of the first things I tell new clients is the best thing you can do for your garden is to mulch it on a routine basis. Mulching will improve soil structure, guard against erosion (and erosion can occur with just natural rain fall on unprotected soil), protect soil moisture/reduce surface evaporation, retard weed development year round and if a quality organic mulch like compost, replenish any required nutrients, negating the need for any supplemental fertilization. Plus, organic mulches effectively recycle what would otherwise be considered waste products.
I've heard Ed Hume say this many times:
Fertilizing Bulbs
Q: At one of your lectures, at the Garden Show last spring, you mentioned fertilizing bulbs in late winter. I have forgotten the exact timing and method you suggested? Can you give me additional information?
A: The best time to feed the bulbs is when the new foliage growth is about two to four inches high, in late winter or earliest spring. And, a second application should be made just after the bulbs finish flowering. Use a liquid type fertilizer, such as fish, Peter's, Rapid-Gro, Miracle-Grow, etc. Apply to the new leaves and surrounding ground. Use according to directions so you do not burn the tender new growth. These feedings are made to help build strength into the bulbs, for future flowering. This type of feeding is sometimes especially useful for bulbs that have been in the ground for a number of years.

The UAE is on the receiving end of shifting interregional travel, but how sustainable is this surge, asks Precious de Leon.
March 27, 2011 5:09 by p.deleon
This year has been monumental for the Middle East to say the least and we're only in the first half of the year. It's a perfect storm that has been brewing over decades, that has reached boiling point with the economic hardships of last year.
In the world of business, however, the show must go on. Manpower may have had to be thinned down and some projects shelved but the desire not just to survive but to thrive in this environment is palpable, particularly in the GCC. It is evident through the push for stronger tourism offering, better events and hospitality programmes and more encouragement for SMEs and entrepreneurship.
And so, the precarious connection between the unrest in some parts of the region and a renewed push for a stronger economy in other parts is resulting in what can be delicately (consider this Kipp's disclaimer) described as a half-glass full situation for those that fall in the latter category.
One example is the 90 percent increase in visitors from Saudi Arabia that has helped boost Abu Dhabi's guest numbers to 17 percent last month compared with February last year, according to The National.
Total revenue increased by 24 percent to $120.5 million and the average length of stay increased 10 percent to 2.99 nights.
According to the article, hoteliers attribute the spike in numbers to "unrest in other countries around the region" and at the numerous exhibitions that city has hosted in the first quarter of the year.

The mind-boggling range of choices might make you feel your old television set belongs to the Jurassic age. But, which flat screen should you buy? What about the size? RAJIB GHOSH gives the low-down on the latest technologies in the market
If your family is like mine, October and November are stressful months. Stressful on the wallet that is. On the top of the agenda is a television set upgrade.
While it may appear to break your heart to let go of your trusted good ol' CRT TV, the bewildering range of emerging technologies does make you think that perhaps your existing TV is from the Jurassic era whose time has come.
So which Flat TV do you buy? What size? What about the fact that size 30 ladies on Indian TV serials end up looking like size 36 on the widescreen TVs?
The new generation
New generation Flat Panel TVs are called LCD TV because the display screen is made up of a Liquid Crystal Display. In an LCD screen, a light source at the back generates pure white light, which is further colourised and filtered by an array of light gates created by liquid crystal technology. Another popular screen technology is Plasma, where the screen is an array of 1 – 2 million tiny bulbs which produce the primary colours. Plasma is preferred in large displays (40" and more) because of economies of production while LCD is preferred where smaller size (50" and less) and fine images are required. Other screen technologies such as AMOLED have not caught on primarily due to their high cost.
A development in LCD panel is IPS Panels. Unlike the advertisement, IPS panels are not hardened to withstand screen knocking. IPS panels actually promise better image viewing angle. While conventional LCD TVs have a viewing angle of at-least 135 degrees, IPS panels increase it to 170+ degrees. This eliminates a typical LCD problem where the image brightness and vibrancy suffers if you viewing the image from the sidelines rather than front and centre. The problem is more noticeable vertically than horizontally.
The latest buzzword in Flat Panel TVs is the LED TV. In these TVs the light source used to produce white light is made up of an array of LED bulbs instead of Fluorescent Lamp technology that is used in conventional LCD TVs. The screen itself continues to be a LCD panel. LED backlight has the advantage of uniform brightness and long life. If buying an LED TV, be sure to ask the salesman if the TV is "Edge Lit" or "Full Back Lit".
Class 2 Mathematics helps you calculate the optimum screen size for your home. Simply multiply your viewing distance in feet by 4 to arrive at screen size in inches. For example, if you are sitting 8 feet away, then a 32" inch TV is ideal for you.
To calculate viewing distance by screen size, divide the screen size in inches by 4 to arrive at the viewing distance in feet.
An important point to note is that CRT TV images are actually 1.22 times taller than LCD TV images. To get the image height of a 21" CRT TV, you need a 26" LCD TV. A 32" LCD TV image has the same height as a 27" CRT TV Image.
What about the problem of rotund images on TV? The underlying issue is that our broadcasters produce content in 4:3 ratio, while the LCD TV screen features 16:9 ratio. The almost square images of 4:3 format have to be "stretched to fit" on the rectangular 16:9 screen. Do not despair though, all LCD TVs allow you to retain the 4:3 image factor (black vertical bars appear on the sides).
Should you still consider a wide-screen TV? I say yes. Movies in India have been produced in wide-screen ratio since the 70's. DVD discs feature widescreen image size. New HD channels such as Discovery and National Geographic are in widescreen. And most of all, your home video recordings are probably in widescreen format too.
3D TV technology is being widely demonstrated across India as the next leap in TV technology. But, it is still a decade away from becoming commonplace. Broadcasters are slow at adopting emerging technologies because it is phenomenally expensive at their end to change equipment and processes.
For example, widescreen content has been commonplace in the last decade, but broadcasters are only warming up to it now. Perhaps 3D TV is the future but the festival season is already here!
To calculate optimum screen size of LCD TV, simply multiply viewing distance in feet by 4 to arrive at screen size in inches. For example, if you are sitting 8 feet away, then a 32" inch TV is ideal for you.

NJ FBI: NYPD monitoring damaged public trust
NEWARK, N.J. In a rare public criticism of the New York Police Department, the top FBI official in New Jersey said Wednesday that the department's surveillance of Muslims in the state has hindered investigations and created "additional risks" in counterterrorism.
The monitoring of Muslims in Newark and across the state has damaged the public's trust in New Jersey law enforcement and jeopardized some of the relationships agents had sought to build in the community since 9/11, said Michael Ward, agent in charge of the FBI's Newark division.
"When people pull back cooperation, it creates additional risks, it creates blind spots," Ward told reporters at a press briefing that he called to address the FBI's role in the NYPD monitoring of Muslims, reported in a series of stories by The Associated Press. "It hinders our ability to have our finger on the pulse of what's going on around the state, and thus it causes problems and makes the job of the Joint Terrorism Task Force much, much harder."
Ward said the NYPD had worked effectively in the state multiple times on terror cases - "we have a great relationship with the NYPD" - citing the arrests last year of two New Jersey men who admitted to conspiring to join an al-Qaida affiliate. But he said he knew little about the department's intelligence operations in the state.
"When you have someone that's conducting a unilateral investigation and it's not being coordinated" with the terror task force, he said, "you run the risk of missing something, of not connecting the dots."
NYPD spokesman Paul Browne responded Wednesday by pointing to several cases worked in conjunction with New Jersey law enforcement, such as the June arrests of Mohamed Alessa and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, who admitted to planning to travel to Somalia to get training with a group with ties to al-Qaida.
"The NYPD has established strong ongoing relations in the Muslim community, and our intelligence gathering has led to the capture of the radical converts Almonte and Alessa in New Jersey," Browne said. He cited other cases where relations in the community have led to terror prosecutions, most notably a plot to bomb the Herald Square train station in New York in 2004.
A series of AP stories has detailed that the NYPD monitored mosques and Muslim-owned businesses in New Jersey, and how it prepared a report cataloging the location of Muslim-owned businesses and mosques in Newark. The report didn't describe any criminal activity or links to terrorism of anyone who was monitored.
New Jersey officials, including Gov. Chris Christie, have said the state wasn't told enough about the operation, although Newark police officials acknowledged that the NYPD told them they were operating in the state in 2007.
Muslim leaders in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and elsewhere have requested investigations into the NYPD's activities, and the U.S. Justice Department has said it is reviewing the issue.
Ward said the reports have made Muslims more hesitant to reach out to law enforcement and less trusting. At a Saturday meeting with New Jersey law enforcement officials, he said, several leaders who had traditionally had an open-door policy of cooperation asked how much the FBI knew of the NYPD's activities in the state. Ward said he planned to hold an open discussion Thursday at a Paterson mosque that had been identified as a target for NYPD surveillance.

1978 Chevrolet Corvette Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 27 reviews
1978 can be remembered as the year when two roads crossed: Wall Street and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Wall Street journal reported that the limited edition 1978 Indianapolis Pace Car Replica Corvette was a smart investment. As a result, buyers were paying up to twice the sticker price to have one of these cars in their garages.
Otherwise, the 1978 Chevrolet Corvette celebrated its 25th Anniversary in style. Aside from leading the pace lap at Indy, all cars were given a 25th Anniversary emblem, Electric Defrost!!!!. The car had a slight redesign, including the first fastback rear since 1967 and completely redesigned instruments.
The engine choices remained in the 350-ci small-block V8 category. A 135 kW capable of 185 horsepower and a 164 kW capable of 220 horsepower were available for the 1978 model year.

Continuous renewal of the intestinal epithelium requires coordinated regulation to maintain the balance between proliferation and differentiation of the epithelial stem cells and immature progenitor cells. Canonical Wnt signaling has long been regarded as the signaling pathway playing a central role in this epithelial cell fate determination; however, recent studies have shown that Notch signaling is also indispensable for this process. Here, we review the current concepts of how the Wnt and Notch pathways control intestinal epithelial cell fate decisions, particularly focusing on their crosstalk at both tissue and cellular levels. As several features are shared between stem cell renewal and cancer cell renewal, comprehensive understanding of how the Wnt and Notch signaling pathways cooperate and integrate in the gut epithelium has significant implications for the development of novel therapeutic modalities for intestinal neoplasia.
