Concern Worldwide Honors U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for Humanitarian Leadership with Inaugural Award in Dublin

Secretary Clinton was in Dublin December 6 and 7 as part of her last official visit to Ireland to participate in the ministerial meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The Secretary also met with Irish officials to discuss areas of cooperation in promoting peace, human rights, and economic growth, and delivered a major speech on U.S. achievements in support of human rights globally. After that speech at Dublin City University, Concern Worldwide CEO Tom Arnold presented the Secretary with the award.

"There is no one more deserving or fitting for the first Fr. Aengus Finucane Award than Secretary Clinton," said Mr. Arnold. "In her time as Secretary of State, she has put development at the heart of U.S. foreign policy and led the world in the fight against under-nutrition, especially during the critical 1,000-day window from pregnancy to a child's second birthday—an effort that will improve the lives of tens of millions of women and children."

In its first year, the Fr. Aengus Finucane Award for Services to Humanity recognizes outstanding humanitarian leadership in memory of the life and work of Fr. Aengus Finucane, who was part of Concern's very first mission in response to the famine in Biafra in 1968 and went on to serve as Chief Executive from 1981 to 1997. He then moved to the United States to found Concern Worldwide U.S., where he served as Honorary President until his passing in October 2009.

Before receiving the award, Secretary Clinton spoke about human rights and the continued struggle for gender equality. "We are on the right side of history in this struggle, but there will be many sacrifices and losses until we finally reach a point where daughters are valued as sons, where girls are as educated as boys, where women are encouraged and permitted to make their contributions to their families, to their societies just as the men are," she said.

"The whole purpose of Fr. Aengus' life was to improve the lives of others," said Mr. Arnold. "He passionately believed that we could never break the cycle of poverty and hunger if we did not invest in women and girls and fight to give them equal opportunities. This is exactly what Secretary Clinton stands for and therefore it is very appropriate that Secretary Clinton is the first recipient of this honor."

The Top 200 Business Schools in the World

Live twitter debate today 5 Dec at 5pm GMT   @TopMBA

London Business School, INSEAD and Harvard are the preferred choice of international recruiters according to the 2012/13 QS Global 200 Business Schools Report published today at http://www.topmba.com.

     (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120528/533559 )


This major research into MBA graduate employability is based on the largest survey of global employer opinion in existence
MBA employers were asked to identify the business schools of which they prefer to recruit from. The 3305 respondents also identified schools they deem to produce excellent hires in ten areas of elective specialization: finance; strategy; marketing; entrepreneurship; CSR; information management; innovation; leadership, operations management, and international management.

The report points to a leading cluster of 39 'elite global' business schools spread across North America (22), Europe (14) and Asia-Pacific (3). While the US total of 15 'elite global' schools is unsurpassed, only Harvard boasts a comparable employer reputation to London Business School and INSEAD.
Graduates from top European schools are shown to earn higher average salaries* than their North American counterparts. Graduate salaries at Europe's 'elite global' schools averaged US$109,300, compared to US$101,100 in North America.

However, while Europe's schools performed well for employability and graduate salaries, when it comes to specializations the US schools dominate. Harvard places number one in four of the 10 subjects covered, ahead of MIT-Sloan (2), INSEAD (1), Kellogg, Northwestern (1), Stanford (1) and Wharton (1).
Nunzio Quacquarelli, managing director of QS says, "This year's report finds record numbers of companies turning towards hiring MBAs, underlining the value of the qualification in today's globalized economy."
Quacquarelli continues: "The report reveals that graduates of Europe's top business schools are increasingly in demand for their ability to lead and innovate and for transferring best practice management skills to fast-growing emerging economies around the world."

MBAs from Indian schools emerge as the world's most academically qualified. Average GMAT scores at IIM Bangalore and IIM Ahmedabad are the highest in the world, comfortably ahead of any of the top schools from Europe or the US.

Australia To Lead LNG Market by 2017

Australia to Lead LNG Market by 2017 With Liquefaction Capacity Expected to Reach 124 Million Tons by 2017

DALLAS, December 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

ReportsnReports.com updates its store with market research report "LNG Industry to 2017 - Australia to Overtake Qatar as Global Market Leader in LNG Liquefaction Capacity Due to Recent Discoveries, Planned Projects and Investments".

Qatar is currently the world's largest LNG exporter, but risks stagnation, as the country shows no plans for capacity additions in the near future. Qatar boasted a liquefaction capacity of 77.5 million tons in 2011, but this doesn't look to change significantly, whereas Australia's modest liquefaction capacity of 20 million tons in 2011 is expected to reach 124 million tons by 2017.

FLNG terminals are expected to be a technology game-changer in the future LNG industry, due to enormous advantages, despite the technology still being in development stages and yet to commence commercial operation. In the near future it is expected that 10% of LNG produced globally will be a product of natural gas extracted from offshore basins, which is around 40% less expensive than that from onshore natural gas projects.

Australia has shown its ambitions as a LNG hub through their FLNG activity. After spending many years in R&D and investing over $500m, Dutch major Shell announced its Final Investment Decision (FID) to construct a floating LNG project at Australia's Prelude field in May 2011. The project is expected to start by 2017, with a processing capacity of 3.6 million tons.

As of 2011, total LNG trade among 25 active countries stood at 233.1 million tons, from trade of only 157.6 million tons in 2006, when a mere 16 countries were involved in the export of LNG. As of 2011, Qatar, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and Nigeria are the top five LNG exporting countries, contributing to around 151 million tons of LNG exports to their major importers. Similarly, Japan, Korea, Spain, UK and China are the top five LNG importing countries, contributing to around 163 million tons of LNG imports from their major exporters. Investments in LNG projects are set to steadily increase during the immediate future, with global capital expenditure for upcoming LNG projects estimated to exceed $200 billion over the 2012-2017 period.
Scope of this report covers:

• Overview of the global LNG industry, covering the trends, challenges and economics, as well as providing a geographic analysis as well as a competitive analysis of the industry to 2017
• Global LNG industry capacity, demand, imports and exports, and trade movements
• Planned projects during the 2012-2017 period
• Analysis of the FLNG industry
• Analysis of major LNG exporters and importers
• Segmental forecasts of the global LNG market until 2017 in different regions worldwide, highlighting the major countries in the region

TEDxWomen 2012 Conference Will Reach Worldwide Audience




Hosted by Pat Mitchell and the Paley Center, TEDxWomen 2012 inspires women to raise their voices and be heard

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Hosted by Pat Mitchell and The Paley Center for Media, TEDxWomen 2012 will take place November 30 and December 1, at the United States Institute for Peace in Washington, DC, and will be live streamed to 150 locally organized TEDx communities around the world.

New this year, TEDxWomen and the Paley Center will offer the broadcast of the conference to the U.S. Department of State's embassies and more than 800 American Spaces around the world. American Spaces are public access venues where Americans and host country citizens come together for discussions on U.S. policy, society and values. Access to the TEDxWomen 2012 Conference enables people both in and outside of capital cities worldwide to connect to inspiring and sometimes surprising stories and ideas by and for women.

TEDxWomen 2012 will bring together a diverse group of talented and rousing women and men to challenge traditional gender roles and spotlight groundbreaking advances in topics ranging from autism to violence against women. What makes TEDxWomen 2012 powerful is the fact it is designed to grow and expand organically, with each individual event acting as a catalyst for communities worldwide to create their own TEDxWomen events.

Events have already sprouted up in places like the Sudan, where TEDxKhartoumWomen gives Sudanese women a platform to share their outstanding contributions to their community. Marieme Jamme in West Africa is introducing the TED concept to West Africans and planting the seeds for TED conferences in Accra. And Jamara Wakefield, a college student in an underserved area of Boston, has organized a TEDxRoxbury Women event, integrating spoken word artists into the traditional TED format.

"TEDxWomen has the power to change communities, and when linked together, change the world," said Pat Mitchell, CEO and President of The Paley Center for Media. "Now, more than ever, women have seen their collective power when they work together, share ideas, and elevate each other's voices."

"Bringing TEDxWomen to overseas audiences, many of whom would never be exposed to the original and creative thinking of the presenters, provides an engaging centerpiece for local events at U.S. Embassies and American Spaces that address such important policy issues as human rights, women's economic empowerment, and violence against women," said Dawn L. McCall, Coordinator of the Bureau of International Information Programs at the Department of State.

This year's speakers at TEDxWomen 2012 include:

Julia Bluhm and Izzie Labbe: two young women who successfully petitioned Seventeen magazine to stop altering face and body shapes of girls with Photoshop.
Anita Sarkeesian: a feminist media critic who initiated a successful Kickstarter campaign to examine gender tropes in video games. Shortly after, a Flash game, where users could punch a likeness of Sarkeesian, went viral, underscoring the sexism she sought to unveil.
Bob Woodruff: a former ABC war correspondent who suffered a traumatic brain injury while embedded in Iraq, and his wife, Lee, who will describe their journey of starts and stops.
Eve Ensler : a well-known feminist playwright, performer, writer, activist, and author of the The Vagina Monologues.
Chung Hyun Kyung: a Korean spiritual leader and ecofeminist.
Musimbi Kanyoro: head of Global Fund for Women.
Jessica Pabon: on the history of graffiti artists.

TEDxWomen is an independently organized event, licensed by TED. TEDxWomen is sponsored by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, AOL, Warner Bros. Entertainment, Accenture, Coca-Cola, Verizon Foundation, Intel, Weber Shandwick, and USIP.

I Started Writing Professionally at 18

Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima.

~ By Bisi Daniels of THIS DAY Newspapers.

Writer and Blogger, Ekenyerengozi Chima, Speaks of his Motivation and Dreams

It is interesting to know all the things you do. A Jack of all trades?

No. I am not a Jack of all trades. I am only a visionary artist and writer, humanist and satirist using the mass media for mass communication for the benefit of humankind.

Let’s know your background.

Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima, aka Orikinla Osinachi, was born on January 30, 1963 on the Lagos Island in Nigeria. He is the second son and third child of Mr. Sunday Eke and Mrs. Gladys Eke, who migrated to Lagos from Umuahia in South-Eastern Nigeria. A writer of many books he is also a popular blogger. He has been one of the most published illustrators in Nigeria, commissioned by Johns Hopkins University’s Population Communications Services (JHU/PCS) and Programme for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH) for the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN) and National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwifes (NANNM). He later became an IEC Officer for the Centre for Education on Population, AIDS and Drug Abuse (CEPADA) and a program consultant for the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) which he combined with his occupation as an artist, independent scriptwriter and production manager for TV. He has worked for the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and DBN TV in Lagos. Presently, he works as a literary and media consultant in Lagos as well as also running his own companies as the Publisher/CEO of International Digital Post Network (IDPN) Limited, the largest Nigerian online news and information media network and the founder of the annual Eko International Film Festival and Screen Outdoor Open Air Cinema’s “One Village, One Cinema” Project to take cinemas to the urban and rural communities in Nigeria. Michael Chima is committed to his Christian faith and charity for the benefit of humanity.

So much; what would you say is your gift?

Sharing important information and charity. I am addicted to helping people- rich or poor. My pastor calls it the Ministry of Helps.

Can we talk about your books first? How many have you written?

I won my first prize when I was only 13 in 1976, an essay on What I Like Best About Nigeria. Then I started writing professionally at 18 and my first book “Children of Heaven”, a collection of poems was published in 1987 by Krystal Publications Limited in Lagos. In all I have written six books.

They don’t seem to be very visible locally. What is your marketing strategy?

My first book “Children of Heaven” was well publicized and reviewed in The Guardian, The Punch, Radio Nigeria and made the prime time Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) news read by Siene Allwell-Brown in 1988. It made me a national celebrity. And The Guardian reviewed “In the House of Dogs” prominently on January 1, 2012, for the New Year and actually addressed the critical issues that caused the nationwide protests against the government’s removal of the fuel subsidy on petrol. “The Language of True Love”, sold out on Bonny Island and the copies at Glendora sold out as well and copies were sold by roadside book sellers in Lagos.

Which of your books is your favourite?

I love “Bye, Bye Mugabe” and I am revising it for a new edition. The new book will be titled “The Prophet Lied” and I know it is going to become an international best seller for original contemporary poetry. The subjects are gripping as the book addresses all the issues of life on earth from the classic temporal to the spiritual in all existential circumstances with provocative thoughts and evocative figures of speech on every facet and aspect of what transpires in our contemporary world.

How do your book ideas drop, and how do you write?

First and foremost, I am inspired by God, as He gives me the Rhema as an eye witness of what is going on the planet He created. My books are my testimonies of life on earth as God gives me the grace to write.

Now, let’s talk about your blogs. Your name doesn’t seem to come up among the popular bloggers in town. Is it because you blog mostly foreign stuff?

I am one of the most popular and most prolific African bloggers, but many people in Nigeria don’t know this, because they don’t know the leading bloggers of note in the world. In fact, I was even unfairly banned from the award winning Global Voices when someone falsely accused me of inciting Igbos reprisal attacks against Hausas that could be an indication of some popularity.

I am also a member of the most popular bloggers networks where you hardly see Nigerian bloggers, like Technorati the leading blogs network in the world where I am also an author and on Blog Critics. My blogs are participating in The Citizen Media Law Project (CMLP) hosted by Harvard University’s Berkman Center for Internet & Society, a research center founded to explore cyberspace, share in its study, and help pioneer its development. And my flagship news blog Nigerians Report is studied at some universities in the US. My blogs are among the only few Nigerian blogs with international contributors. Nigerian Times is the highest ranked African blog on film by Technorati that is indexing over 112.8 million blogs on the internet with my Nigerian Times ranked 143 for film news and information. I don’t make noise, I make news and I make history.

How many blogs do you run? Why so many?

I have 30 blogs and still counting. I did not set out to have so many blogs, but Google’s Blogger unlike Wordpress does not have features for many categories so I have to create different blogs for different subjects and interests on Blogger which is the most popular, because it is very easy to use like Facebook.
You do so much, what is your private life like?

My private life is doing charity work without making noise about it; like being part of the fund raising efforts to save the Blue Mouse Cinema. It is the oldest cinema in the state of Washington in the U.S.

You are into films too: Tell us about it.

My passion for film goes way back to going to watch movies at the cinemas like Kings Cinema in Lafiaji and Sheila Cinema on Broad Street in Lagos, where my father took us in the 1970s. That was how I got the motivation for the appreciation of motion pictures. I later became a script writer for NTA Channel 10 Lagos in TV puppet drama. I acted in one Nollywood movie in 1996 and made the casts of two other movies before I left to concentrate on office work and later returned to work on a documentary in 2004 on the first museum in Nigeria located on Esie, Kwara State, where we have the largest single collection of soapstone figurines in the world. But I am now working on my first feature after four years of research on Bonny Island in Rivers State, exploring the beauty of the Niger Delta that is more than the crude oil. The screenplay was co-written with Chika Onu, the prize winning prolific Nollywood filmmaker.

What are your views about standards in Nollywood?

Film making is an Art and video is not film. Nollywood is a child of circumstance. Nollywood addressed an important need among majority of Nigerians, the masses who needed to be entertained and these Nollywood home videos told their stories in the language they understood without elitist airs and graces. So, the quality of the art and craft of motion pictures was not the priority of the Nollywood producers. But we have learnt our lessons and now improving the standards to produce better movies that can be compared to the world class films in Hollywood.

And your comments about literature in Nigeria generally?

The new writers are actually better than the older generation, because of the emergence of modern tools of mass communication which we are now using to improve the literary standards of contemporary literature in Nigeria. But we don’t have the readers that the older generation had in the post colonial period when pupils and students enjoyed reading both their recommended text books and other books like novels and children’s books. Nigerians are not reading novels, because of the dysfunctional system of education and poor intellectual development in schools where examination malpractices have made pupils and students lazy and less competitive for intellectual scholarship.

So much you have done, you must be a rich man?

I am successful by the grace of God, but success is not measured by personal wealth, but by how many people you can share your success with. Only a foolish rich man has poor brothers and sisters.

I don’t measure success by how much good and ill-gotten riches someone has got, but by how many lives you have touched and transformed positively in your home, neighbourhood, community and society. I believe more in building lives than building houses.

What is likely to be your focus in future?

My mission is to use the social media for mass communication for the nation building of a New Nigeria.

Anything you want to excel in?

Charity. Charity. Charity for the benefit of every member of our society.

What are you working on presently?

My next book is on President Barack Obama, and completing my first feature film next year by the infinite grace of God who alone makes all dreams and wishes possible.

Royal Dutch Shell and others Win 2012 Platts Global Energy Awards

14th Annual Event Lauds Winners from China, France, India, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, U.S.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Winners from seven countries and three continents took top honors in New York City tonight at the Platts Global Energy Awards, which recognized three industry leaders and 16 companies for exemplary individual and corporate achievement. The awards program, now in its 14^th year, is one of the energy industry's premier recognition events and often referred to as the "Oscars" of the energy industry.

"Nearly every award entry this year demonstrated a drive for developing creative solutions to the world's energy challenges," said Larry Neal, president of Platts, a leading global energy, petrochemicals and metals information provider and host of the Awards. "Platts congratulates winners and finalists alike for their efforts to promote a secure and socially-responsible energy future."

Antonio Brufau, executive chairman of Spain's integrated oil and gas company Repsol, won 2012 "Chief Executive Officer" honors, besting a competitive list of finalists. While Brufau won accolades for shepherding Repsol's growth in upstream exploration activities, expanding the company into wind power and overseeing a stock boon that has outpaced its European rivals, it was his leadership of the last seven months, judges said, that really set him apart. Within weeks of the Argentine government's sudden expropriation of Repsol subsidiary Yacimientos Petroliferos Fiscales (YPF), Brufau set a course that kept Repsol from potential dismantlement, retained its standing with investors, and positioned it for high-growth ex-YPF.
Netherlands-based Royal Dutch Shell also stood apart from the night's other winners, snagging not one, but two awards – the much sought-after "Energy Company of the Year" and "Commodity Excellence Award for Natural Gas." Judges were impressed by the company's commitment to continual innovation despite the scale of its current operations. Shell's downstream activities in chemical gas-to-liquids technologies development caught the judges' attention, as did its liquefied natural gas (LNG) technologies, which enhance energy efficiency and advance LNG as a transport fuel for trucks, ships and locomotives. The judges also cited Shell's advancements in deepwater drilling, shale development and tight-gas extraction, all of which are helping to drive U.S. energy independence.

"Commodity Excellence Awards," which recognize companies that have performed at the top of a sector in fundamental and innovative ways, also went to CNOOC Limited of China, and Peabody Energy and PJM Interconnection, both of the United States.

In bestowing the "Commodity Excellence Award for Oil" on CNOOC, China's largest producer of offshore crude oil and natural gas, judges heralded the company for its nimble but robust international growth strategy amid a volatile price environment. Describing CNOOC as "innovative and leaders in their own right," judges pointed to its two dozen-plus new oil discoveries since 2011, its achievement of a reserve replacement ratio in excess of 150%, and financial results comparable to those of Western peers.

Operational excellence, global growth and a commitment to workplace safety were cited as factors in the choice of Peabody Energy for the "Commodity Excellence for Coal" award. Judges honored Peabody for maximizing performance while successfully investing internationally. Its purchase of former Macarthur Coal Limited made the Missouri-based company the world's largest seaborne supplier of pulverized coal injection resources as well as the third largest holder of coal reserves in Australia. Judges emphasized that, while integrating this acquisition, Peabody sustained record-breaking financial performance and enhanced workplace safety.

The "Commodity Excellence for Electric Power" award went to Pennsylvania-based PJM Interconnection, in recognition of its "relentless focus on reliability." The independent power system operator was lauded for effective energy storage management and grid balancing, and for driving transformation of the broader market through its demand response initiatives, which promote efficiency by compensating commercial and industrial consumers for not using power during periods of high demand. PJM's effective management of the industry's shift in generation from coal to gas and its cyber-security efforts to protect the nation's transmission system were other factors that made it a winner.

Pierre Gadonneix, a respected advisor to governments and private industry and advocate of green energy, was given the 2012 "Lifetime Achievement" award. He was honored for his 44-year career in the energy sector and his advocacy of the "Energy Trilemma," which refers to the simultaneous global pursuit of three goals – security of supply, protection of the environment and the climate, and social equity and struggle against energy poverty. Gadonneix, who served at CEO level for 22 years in the gas and electric utility industries, is currently chairman of the World Energy Council, an independent policy body accredited by the United Nations to represent all aspects of the global energy system. Judges emphasized that Gadonniex's leadership and advocacy has not only had a major impact on the companies he served, but also on the energy sector in France and internationally. 

The Global Energy Awards dinner, held at the Cipriani Wall Street in lower Manhattan, was attended by hundreds of energy executives and emceed by CNBC Television's Amanda Drury for a third consecutive year. 

Preceding the awards ceremony was the sixth annual Platts Global Energy Outlook Forum "Fuel Fight: Environment Meets Economics," where speakers and participants discussed challenges to a low-carbon green economy, how to remove impediments to scalable green energy and the long-term supply and demand outlook for energy. Shell Oil Company President Marvin Odum presented the keynote address. 

The 2012 Platts Global Energy Awards sponsors included Capgemini, as principal for a 10^th consecutive year, along with returning Elster for a 5^th year.
