Video: Celebrating the Power of Private Enterprise on International Women's Day
March 08, 2013
In Uganda, a group of enterprising women are building a business that's creating new opportunities for young, single mothers.
Today is International Women's Day, an opportunity to celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women across the world. For TechnoServe, it's an occasion to recognize the tremendous importance of women in the effort to end global poverty. Across the globe, we're working to promote economic opportunities for women that will bring long-term benefits to families and communities.
In Kampala, Uganda, Paper Craft Africa shows how a business can be an engine of change in its community. The company employs 25 people, many of them young, single mothers. TechnoServe provided assistance to Paper Craft Africa through our Women Mean Business program, training the staff in areas such as bookkeeping, marketing and human resources. The new knowledge and skills allowed the business to hire more people.

The Brazilian mining giant Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (NYSE:RIO) is the largest global producer and exporter of iron ore and pellets with over 40% of the seaborn market. It is the second largest mining company in the world, with a market capitalization of almost $180 billion and actively engaged in mineral exploration efforts in nineteen countries worldwide.
CVRD (Companhia Vale do Rio Doce) is involved in the production of nickel, copper, manganese, ferroalloys, precious metals, cobalt and other products.
In addition, the company is recognized for its excellence in elaborating and providing logistics systems for national and foreign customers, integrating company-owned assets such as rail transportation for its mining products, general cargo and passengers, bulk terminal storage, coastal shipping and port handling functions that are integrated with its mining operations. The company, through affiliates and joint ventures has investments in the aluminum, coal energy and steel businesses, including seven hydroelectric power plants operations and one under construction in Brazil, assuring the power supply for CVRD operational activities.
CVRD is well diversified through its subsidiaries. It is present on five continents and operational primarily under three principal lines of businesses, consisting of mining, aluminum, and logistics operations.
The Mining side of the business, includes the steel-making ingredient iron ore operations and production. It is concentrated in three systems in Brazil - the Southeastern System, the Southern System and the Northern System.
The Southeastern system is located in the state of Minas Gerais, in a region known as the Iron Quadrangle. The iron ore mines of this system are divided into three mining areas: Itabira, Centrais Mines, and Mariana. From these particular mines, the iron ore is mined by open-pit methods, means of standard crushing, classification and concentration steps, while producing sinter feed in the beneficiation plants located at the mining sites. In fiscal '06 CVRD produced 100% of the electric energy consumed in the Southeastern system via its own power plants.
The Southern system, which consists of the Oeste mines and the mines of MBR, is located in the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro. The iron ore produced from this specific system, is transported by a company called MRS Logistica in which CVRD holds directly and indirectly, 37.2% of the voting capital and 40.5% of the total capital to the Guaiba Island and Itaguai maritime terminals, both located in Rio de Janeiro. In fiscal '06, CVRD produced 22% of the electric energy consumed for the southern operations.
The Northern System is comprised of open-pit ore mines and an ore-processing complex in the Carajas region of the state of Para. The mines are located in the north of Brazil on public lands for which the company holds concessions. The Northern system's reserves are among the largest iron ore deposits in the world. Because of the high iron content - almost 70% on average - in the Northern system deposits, CVRD does not operate a concentration plant at Carajas. The beneficiation mining process consists simply of sizing operations, including crushing and filtration among other things. This allows CVRD to produce marketable iron ore at a lower cost in comparison to the Southern and the Southeastern Systems.
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce is developing iron ore pellets projects in Brazil and in China. In September of fiscal '06 CVRD's subsidiary MBR acquired a 25% stake in a joint venture to build a new pelletizing plant in Zhuhai, Guandong, China. The expected investment for the project stands at around $4 million, with CVRD providing a supply of at least 70% for the iron ore to feed the plant, based on a 30-year contract. The plant is expected to become operational in fiscal '08. In February 2007 Vale purchased the Australian coal mining company AMCI Holdings for 835 million Australian dollars.
Aluminum Operations
Through subsidiaries and joint ventures, the Company Albras-Aluminio Brasileiro S.A. (Albras) and Valesul each produces and conducts operations in the production of aluminum-related products. The Albras plant which has been operational since 1985, is located at Barcarena, in the Brazilian state of Para. It is one of the largest aluminum plants in the Americas, with a nominal capacity of 445.000 metric tons per year. Valesul operates a plant in Rio de Janeiro with a nominal capacity of 95.000 metric tons per year. It produces primary aluminum in the form of ingots and billets. Valesul's aluminum products are sold primarily in the Brazilian market on a spot basis.
CVRD's logistics business is conducted at the parent-company level and it comprises the transportation of customers' products and passengers. This operation includes railroads, such as Vitoria a Minas and Carajas among others. The Vitoria a Minas railroad links the Southeastern Systems mines in the Quadrangle region with the Tubarao Port, in Vitoria, in the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo. The second railroad, Carajas, is located in the Northern System and starts at Carajas iron ore mine in the state of Para, extending 892 kilometers to Ponta da Madeira maritime terminal complex facilities, near the Sao Luis Port in the state of Maranhao. The Carajas railroad has a daily capacity of 255.000 metric tons of iron ore. On March 31, 2006, Companhia Vale do Rio Doce took over Caemi.
CVRD has also a large capacity of operations concentrated in three distinct shipping areas: seaborne dry bulk transportation services, coastal shipping liner services and tug boat services. It also operates Ports and Maritime terminals, such as that of Tubarao port complex, covering an estimated area of 18 square kilometers, principally used and operated as a means to complete the distribution of its iron ore and pellets to seaborne vessels serving the export seaborne market.
For the transportation of the cargo for fiscal '06, the company operated a fleet of bulk vessels, which comprises three capesize vessels owned by the company and a few other capesize and panamax vessels chartered on a spot basis. Its capesize vessels have been trading worldwide carrying primarily iron ore.
The coastal shipping liner service is operated by five vessels and a fleet of 19 tug boats (seven owned and 12 chartered) in the ports of Vitoria. The ship liners are chartered on a bare boat basis and cover the South American east coast.
The Company competes in the segment with BHP Billiton PLC (NYSE:BHP), Rio Tinto (RTP), Kumba Resources, Alcoa (NYSE:AA), Rusal, Alcan (NYSE:AL) and Chalco among other companies.
Key Factors
The high level of activity currently in the metal markets, continues to reflect advanced price movements and optimism in the prospects of a more robust fiscal 2008. This optimism is based and driven primarily, by confidence in long-term global fundamentals, but most importantly by strong levels of demand, especially from Chinese steelmakers together with a modest expansion in other markets.
According to International Iron and Steel Institute, the global demand for steel will increase by 15% into 2010 to over 1.2 billion t/a. Steel consumption is forecasted to grow between 12-13% during the next two years, with the Chinese steel industry continuing to have a vast consumer base thus remaining the largest steel-consuming nation. Furthermore, Chinese imports of iron ore shot up by 23% in '06 yoy with current steel production growing at 7.3% in the first 3q's of 2007. Iron ore prices in the Chinese spot market posted $172 per metric ton, rising more than 100% compared to prices prevailing one year ago, while the Indian ore surged to almost $180 per ton.
This specific and strong demand pertaining the metal markets, especially the iron ore segment which is closely interlinked with the shipping industry under which, among other aspects, CVRD heavily operates and extracts the bulk of its revenues from, in terms of its business lines remains particularly strong from China and other emerging economies, with no imminent slowdown.
Since fiscal '01, global demand for iron ore has grown at an average annual rate of 9.8%. In 2006 the price of iron ore increased further compare to that of 2005, due to imbalance between global demand and supply. During this fiscal '07 year, iron ore prices have increased by almost 10% and based on recent reports, contract of iron ore prices may increase an additional 25% in 2008, followed by a 10% hike the following year - again, due to robust demand and constrained supply issues.
Certainly, there is no implying of end in segment cycles due to strong demand. There will always be room for speculation and uncertainties around future market conditions and price projections however, a fact deserving attention is that considering price developments into the next two years - the key issue remains and will undoubtedly continue to persist - whether metals supply would be able to meet rising demand in an environment of continued global growth.
One thing worth pointing out is that, we are not including into this analysis the global iron ore segment alone. The consumption of other metals such as non-stainless steel application for nickel remains strong , aluminum and copper demand continues to grow averaging 5.6% and 4.8% a year respectively - based on rapid expansion of industrial production in other markets - with China again, contributing about 50% to average future demand growth.
Also, there are two important factors to take under consideration when forecasting the future of the Chinese steel market, in terms of its continued demand projections. With the first one being, China 's two major projects - the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, and EXPO 2010 Shanghai - coming up ahead. Furthermore, the demand of steel per capita has already surpassed the 100 kgs, which suggests that China has already entered a phase of full-fledged period of steel diffusion from expansion period. Although, there may be some fluctuation based on these two factors, the likelihood of constant growth on the part of China remains, in optimistic terms, quite high.
It is fair to say, that based on positive outlook regarding the industry and its overall performance so far with such favorable market conditions, global industry leaders such as CVRD will strategically exploit actual market conditions to expand profitability.
Key Numbers
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (RIO) has a market cap of $172.50 billion with an attractive .90 peg ratio. Profit margin trailing twelve stands at 28.69% with an impressive 46.11% in operating ones. Revenues stand at over $37 billion for a gross profit of $9.50 billion with a net income of almost $11 billion. Operating cash flow $12.53 billion with 17.30% growth in quarterly earnings yoy.
CVRD showed a solid performance in 3q'07. On October 25, '07 the company delivered through its earning report a steady and strong growth. Gross revenues came in at $8.12 billion, the highest ever for a third quarter, up 9.9% from $7.39 billion compared to 3q'06. In the first nine months of this year, revenues posted $27.7 billion compared to $18.22 billion in the same period of fiscal '06. Return on capital investment in the last twelve posted effectively 52.1%. Revenues from sales of ferrous minerals represented over 50.5% of this quarter's gross, against 34.7% for non-ferrous minerals.The aluminum chain products contributed 8.3% while logistics posted 4.8%.
In nine months of fiscal '07, net earnings amounted to $9.9 billion, as compared to $5.6 billion in the same period of nine months of fiscal '06.
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (RIO) has delivered strong and steady growth by a rapid increase in its cash flow prompting a significant increase of company's market capitalization. A key component of this company is the consistent and the right strategy approach in relation to production growth through organic means.
CVRD is planning to spend $59 billion over the next five years pursuing the goal of accelerating investments, with a massive investment in the development of world class assets such as iron ore, pellets, coal and nickel.
By 2012 iron ore production capacity is planned to increase to 450 million metric tons per year from actual 300 million. Nickel production will double in 2012 reaching 500.000 metric tons, with significant rises scheduled to take place in production of coal, aluminum, pellets, copper etc.
This investment program is global in scope, including Canada, Indonesia, Peru, Chile, United Kingdom, Australia and Europe to mention a few, aiming to solidify CVRD's logistic side of the business, along with power generation infrastructure, in order to support expansion.
Companhia Vale do Rio Doce shares, at current levels, are very attractive in my view based on the company's consistent track record of pursuing organic growth. Its cost and return metric are one of the best in the industry. I believe that the company's long-term growth prospects, particularly its expansion ambitions, are excellent and continue to be indicative of the company's strength.
From a TA perspective the stock market has experienced a fairly strong sell-off in the last two weeks, however, RIO has maintained a sustainable and a fairly tight trading range, oscillating between $34 and mid $36 levels. During this period, prices have continued to test the upside and apply pressure with a tendency to accelerate and explore new territories..
Stock is recommended as a 12-18 months long-term hold, not to be watched on tick by tick basis with a $52 -$54 price target.

If Cell Phones Were Cars...
So my friend is in the market for a new phone (current VZ Gnex user). He can be considered "advanced" or "professional" in the technical realm. However, he doesn't keep up with all the new phones on the market and when he went to do his research he was rightfully overwhelmed with the current options. S4, HTC One, G2, Nexus 5, MotoX.... Well he also likes cars and he comes to me and asks me to compare all these phones with an equivalent car. Engine Power vs Phone Performance, Car Interior vs Software looks/bloatware and so on. What do you guys think?

Re: If Cell Phones Were Cars...
I upgraded to the Note 2...used so I could keep unlimited data at a decent price.
However, IMHO
Moto X- Family Sedan
Nexus 5- Honda Accord or any car from Fast and the Furious
HTC One- Audi A7. Gorgeous inside and out with performance
S4- Mustang- fast, nice features, a bit uncomfortable at times, performance issues
G2- Luxury SUV/ Luxury Pickup....can do it all and does a lot well, but at times you miss having a cab on the back.....
My analogies .
The nexus is not on Verizon. So that isn't an option.
If it were me it would be the G2 or the Note 3. But I like size of the screens.

"Maybe the story is the difference between the writers on the panels and the writers in the audience. That story is the creation of a celebrity class. That story is the fine line between jealousy and envy: I want everything you have versus I want everything I can have. Or is the story simply vanity?" Choire Sicha of the Awl reports on (and attempts to schmooze through) the two-day New Yorker literary festival

239 issues of trailblazing feminism
The British Library has put every issue of Spare Rib in their digital journal archive, with full access, for free.
Few titles sum up an era and a movement like Spare Rib. When the first issue came out in July 1972, many women were starting to question their position and role in society. The magazine was an active part of the emerging women's liberation movement. It challenged the stereotyping and exploitation of women in what was the first national magazine of its kind. It supported collective, realistic solutions to the hurdles women faced and reached out to women from all backgrounds. Spare Rib became the debating chamber of feminism in the UK. It continued until January 1993 and the full archive of 239 magazines provides a valuable insight into women's lives and this period of feminist activity.

Carbon Capture by Jonathan Franzen [New Yorker] Has climate change made it harder for people to care about conservation?
And so I came to feel miserably conflicted about climate change. I accepted its supremacy as the environmental issue of our time, but I felt bullied by its dominance. Not only did it make every grocery-store run a guilt trip; it made me feel selfish for caring more about birds in the present than about people in the future. What were the eagles and the condors killed by wind turbines compared with the impact of rising sea levels on poor nations? What were the endemic cloud-forest birds of the Andes compared with the atmospheric benefits of Andean hydroelectric projects?

Je Suis Newsweek?*
The 5000 word cover story on "What Silicon Valley Thinks of Women" in Newsweek is getting a lot of attention, but mostly for the illustration on the cover, which very simply (or simplistically) depicts high-tech sexism, and which writers like Rachel Sklar and Alexia Tsotsis consider to be sexist itself.
Responding to Lloyd Grove of the Daily Beast**, article author Nina Burleigh says "It's provocative because it quite powerfully and accurately depicts the disgusting behavior and attitudes toward women that dozens of women in tech described to me and that tens of thousands more must navigate on a daily basis, to the detriment of their professional advancement."

Influenza is widespread
MAYVILLE – Influenza activity continues to increase in Chautauqua County just as it is throughout the state and nation.
"High levels of influenza-like-illness are widespread according to the Center for Disease Control's latest FluView report," said Christine Schuyler, County Public Health Director. "Reports of influenza-like-illness are nearing what have been peak levels during moderately severe seasons."
Influenza vaccination is recommended for everyone 6 months of age and older and anyone who has not already been vaccinated should do so now. It's important to remember that people who have severe influenza illness, or who are at high risk of serious influenza-related complications, should get treated with influenza antiviral medication if they get flu symptoms regardless of whether or not they got vaccinated. Flu vaccinations are available at your primary care doctor's office, many local pharmacies or the Chautauqua County Health Department (call 1-866-604-6789).
So far this season, 91 percent of the influenza viruses that have been analyzed at CDC are like the viruses included in the 2012-2013 influenza vaccine. The match between the vaccine virus and circulating viruses is one factor that impacts how well the vaccine works. But Schuyler cautions that other factors are involved.
"Influenza vaccination is the first line of defense against the influenza illness. While vaccination offers the best protection we have against influenza, it's still possible that some people may become ill despite being vaccinated but their illness will be much milder," she said. "Health care providers and the public should remember that influenza antiviral medications are a second line of defense against influenza."
The Chautauqua County Department of Health reminds everyone of important measures to take to reduce their chances of getting and spreading the flu and other infectious respiratory illnesses:
Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the crook of your elbow, not your hands. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Wash your hands often with soap and water especially after blowing your nose or coughing, using the bathroom, before and after eating and after being in contact with someone who is ill. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer if you aren't near a sink.
Keep your hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth.
Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
Stay home when you are sick
While the timing of influenza seasons is impossible to predict, based on past experience it's likely that flu activity will continue for some time. During the past 10 influenza seasons, influenza-like-illness remained at or above baseline for an average of 12 consecutive weeks, with a range of 1 week in the 2011-2012 flu season to 16 weeks in the 2005-2006 season. During the H1N1 Influenza pandemic, the proportion of visits to doctors for influenza-like-illness remained above the national baseline for 19 consecutive weeks.
One factor that may indicate increased severity this season is that the main type of influenza virus circulating is influenza A (H3N2) viruses, which accounts for about 76 percent of the viruses reported. Schuyler explains, "typically 'H3N2 seasons' have been more severe with higher numbers of hospitalizations and deaths, but we will have to see how this season plays out."
For more information on influenza vaccination, illness and reducing your risk of contracting the flu, visit www.cdc.gov or contact the Chautauqua County Department of Health at 1-866-604-6789.

Chia Seeds for Health and Beauty
Precious Seeds
Relatively unknown in North America until recently, Chia Seeds have been a staple food in Mexico for centuries. Chia seeds come from a species of flowing plant in the Lamiaceae (Mint) family and have been highly valued as an endurance promoting food by the Mayans and Aztecs since ancient times. A rich vegetarian source of omega-3, antioxidants and bone building minerals, Chia seeds even possess anti-cancer properties. These remarkable seeds naturally boost energy, help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote gentle detoxification.
These remarkable seeds naturally boost energy, help stabilize blood sugar levels and promote gentle detoxification.
5 Reasons to Incorporate Chia Seeds into Your Diet
1. Blood Sugar Stabilizers
Chia seeds help to slow down the digestion process and the "jelly" coating that develops when they're exposed to liquids is thought to prevent blood sugar spikes, which can lead to weight gain.
2. Omega-3 Rich
Chia seeds are an excellent vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acids. With almost 5 grams per 1 oz serving, chia seeds are a more potent omega-3 source than flax seeds. In fact, they are so abundant in healthy fats, that the word chia comes to us from the Nahuatl word chian, which means "oily."
3. Fortifies Bones
In just 1 oz of Chia seeds, you receive nearly 20% of your recommended daily allowance for calcium, which is essential for supporting bone health and preventing osteoporosis.
4. Better Protein Synthesis
Chia seeds are abundant in the mineral phosphorus, which is critical in protein synthesis and vital to healthy cell and tissue function and growth.
5. Banishes Belly Fat
Chia seeds exert a stabilizing effect on blood sugar levels and also insulin resistance which can be tied to excess belly fat and metabolic syndrome.
5 Tricks to Boost Your Skincare Routine
The oil extracted from Chia seeds has incredible beauty benefits, too. Not only are they rich in precious omega-3 fatty acids − they're also intensely anti-inflammatory, calming and antioxidant rich, which means that chia oil is a good bet for restoring vital moisture, diminishing redness and inhibiting wrinkles. Here are a few tips for using Chia Oil Serum:
1. Use it everywhere:
After applying Chia Oil Serum on your skin, rub excess into dry spots elsewhere − cuticles, dry split ends and even elbows.
2. Enhance your moisturizer:
If your skin is feeling abnormally dry, try adding a few drops of Chia Serum into your favorite moisturizer for enhanced hydration.
3. Touch-ups with Chia Serum:
If you tend to be on the dry side, keep Chia Serum in your purse for touch-ups during the day. Simply apply 1 − 3 drops onto clean hands and press into skin (this works if you have makeup on as well). This will help to give you a dewy glow and prevent makeup from creasing or settling.
4. Look younger tonight:
Add 1-3 drops of Chia Serum to your décolleté before you go out. Even sun-damaged skin will appear less "red" and lined and immediately take on a luminous glow.
5. Revive Your Lips:
For an instant S.O.S. for thinning lips, try massaging a lip plumper on and around the contours of the lips. Allow to dry shortly and follow with Chia Serum. Your lips will appear less lined, more full and well hydrated.
I hope you all join me in the ancient chia craze. Add a chia-based oil to your skincare routine as well as chia seeds to your soups, salad dressings, water and even oatmeal to take advantage of their tremendous health benefits. I'd love to hear about your favorite recipes or tips. Join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter.
