Distribution Warehause

Startup Costs : 10 000 euro- 50 000 euro

Business Overview

Homebased businesses and the internet have created a booming market for distribution and warehousing services. Why? Because homebased and cyberventures generally don't have the infrastructure required to store and ship their products that are being sold. Starting a warehousing and distribution service means you can act as a warehouse, shipping and receiving agent for as many as 20 or 30 different companies. This business venture
does require a great deal of research and investment capital. However, with careful planning and exceptional organizational skills, this type of business venture is capable of creating a six-figure income per year, all within a very short period of time for the enterprising entrepreneur

Engineers Tap Algae Cells for Electricity

With the help of photosynthesis plants convert light energy to chemical energy. This chemical energy is stored in the bonds of sugars they use for food. Photosynthesis happens inside a chloroplast. Chloroplasts are considered as the cellular powerhouses that make sugars and impart leaves and algae a green hue. During photosynthesis water is split into oxygen, protons and electrons. When sunrays fall on the leaves and reach the chloroplast, electrons get excited and attain higher energy level. These excited electrons are caught by proteins. The electrons are passed through a series of proteins. These proteins utilize more of the electrons’ energy to synthesize sugars until the entire electron’s energy is exhausted

Two Wind Farms get Investment from Google

Now big companies are going green and proudly proclaiming it too from rooftops. Google Inc. has invested $38.8 million in two North Dakota wind farms. This is the first direct investment by Google in utility-scale renewable energy generation. These two wind farms produce 169.5 megawatts of power. These two wind farms can light up around 55,000 homes. These wind farms are designed by General Electric Co and created by NextEra Energy Resources. They generate power from one of the world’s richest wind resources in the North Dakota plains. There is no need to lay down extra infrastructure for the two wind farms. Current transmission facilities are able to transmit power to the nearby areas. Google’s official blog claims, “Through this $38.8 million investment, we’re aiming to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy — in a way that makes good business sense, too.”

Earlier Google Inc. has invested in companies which are developing new technologies in the area of solar, wind and geothermal power. Such companies are BrightSource Energy, eSolar and AltaRock. With North Dakota wind farms Google made an exception.

Google’s stakes in the wind farms are in the form of “tax equity” investments. This way Google will be able to avail the benefit of use federal tax credits provided by the Government. According to this incentive the investors also take over a project and use federal tax credits to offset their own taxes as a return.

According to NextEra they sold about $190 million of Class B membership interests in the two wind farms. Now Google’s stake is around 20% of the Class B shares. The companies are not talking about the other investors currently. While Google’s NextEra investment doesn’t include to help in future expansion of the company but they hope that their investment would help in establishing additional wind power projects.

The power production from the wind farms would be sold to utilities under power purchase agreements. A Google spokesman claimed that their data centers won’t be using the power generated by wind farms.

The wind farms are willing to experiment with new technologies. They want to go for the cutting edge turbine technologies and new kind of the control systems that can continuously monitor output from every turbine and always adjust individual blade angles to improve efficiency. They would also use the blades that are 15 per cent larger on the usual turbines.

Rick Needham is the green business operations manager at Google. He says, “Smart capital includes not only these early-stage company investments, but also dedicated funding for utility-scale projects. To tackle this need, we’ve been looking at investments in renewable energy projects, like the one we just signed, that can accelerate the deployment of the latest clean energy technology while providing attractive returns to Google and more capital for developers to build additional projects.”

Google has also indicated earlier this year that it may play a more direct role in the US energy market. Google Inc. has made a request with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that would help it to buy and sell electricity on the wholesale market. This has made green energy analysts curious about Google’s future role in clean and green energy scene.

European Shares Jump Most in 17 Months as EU Pledges Loan Fund

By Daniela Silberstein

May 10 (Bloomberg) -- European stocks rallied the most in more than 17 months after policy makers unveiled an unprecedented loan package worth almost $1 trillion to contain the region’s sovereign-debt crisis.

BNP Paribas SA, France’s largest bank, surged 21 percent as the nation’s CAC 40 soared 9.3 percent. Banco Santander SA jumped 23 percent, leading Spain’s IBEX 35 index 14 percent higher for the biggest gain on record. BHP Billiton Ltd., the world’s largest mining company, and Rio Tinto Group climbed more than 5 percent as copper increased.

The Stoxx Europe 600 Index soared 6.9 percent to 253.57 at 4:35 p.m. in London, the biggest gain since Nov. 24, 2008, as only two stocks declined. The gauge last week posted the biggest drop in 18 months as concern grew that the region’s leaders will be unable to halt the spiraling government debt crisis. The measure has fallen 6.8 percent from its 2010 high on April 15.

“There is intent behind these measures and that is helping the markets,” said Christoph Riniker, a strategist at Bank Julius Baer Group Ltd. in Zurich, which manages about $226 billion. “Last week showed that we needed measures from central banks and we’ve almost recovered from last week’s losses. The fundamental picture still points to improvement towards the end of the year.”

Counter ‘Severe Tensions’

Jolted into action by last week’s slide in the euro to a 14-month low and soaring bond yields in Portugal and Spain, the European Union agreed to offer financial assistance to countries facing instability worth as much as 750 billion euros ($980 billion), including International Monetary Fund backing. The European Central Bank said it will counter “severe tensions” in certain markets by purchasing government and private debt and restarted a dollar-swap line with the Federal Reserve.

National benchmark indexes rose in all 18 western European markets. Germany’s DAX gained 5.3 percent and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 increased 5.2 percent. France’s CAC 40 climbed 9.3 percent while Spain’s IBEX 35 jumped 14 percent.

The VStoxx Index, which measures the cost of insuring against declines in the Euro Stoxx 50 Index, lost 22 percent to 38.66, the biggest drop on record.

The support package “shows the ECB, the EU and IMF can act quickly, in spite of all indications to the contrary during the ECB press conference last Thursday and in spite of all doubts about their ability to do so by most U.S. investors last week,” Credit Suisse Group AG’s London-based strategist Andrew Garthwaite wrote in a report. “Ultimately, this will lead all central banks (apart from China) to have a looser monetary policy for longer.”

BOE Bond Purchases

The Bank of England maintained its emergency economic stimulus today as the post-election deadlock leaves officials in suspense on the scope of government spending cuts to curb the record budget deficit. The Monetary Policy Committee kept its bond holdings at 200 billion pounds ($297 billion) for a fourth month and maintained the benchmark interest rate at a record low of 0.5 percent.

European equities were raised to “overweight” from “underweight” by London-based Morgan Stanley strategist Teun Draaisma, who wrote “we are optimistic on earnings growth, driven by emerging markets, U.S. and corporates.”

Against the backdrop of Europe’s fiscal crisis, the global economy has been strengthening. German industrial production rose more than economists forecast in March as the construction industry shrugged off the coldest winter in 14 years. U.S. employers added the most jobs in four years in April, the Labor Department said May 7.

Banks Soar

A measure of bank stocks in the Stoxx 600 rallied 14 percent, the biggest advance since September 2008. BNP Paribas jumped 21 percent to 53.12 euros, the biggest gain since at least 1993. Santander, Spain’s biggest bank, jumped 23 percent to 9.45 euros, the largest increase since 1990.

Deutsche Bank AG, the largest German lender, surged 13 percent to 51.63 euros. Dexia SA, Belgium’s biggest bank by assets, soared 17 percent to 3.86 euros. Allied Irish Banks Plc rallied 24 percent to 1.38 euros. National Bank of Greece SA advanced 17 percent to 12.11 euros.

Bank of Ireland Plc climbed 18 percent to 1.67 euros. The country’s biggest bank said investors agreed to swap 852 million euros of subordinated debt for equity, prompting the lender to cut the size of a planned share sale by almost 10 percent.

BHP Billiton advanced 5.7 percent to 1,971.5 pence. Rio Tinto, the world’s third-biggest mining company, rose 7 percent to 3,348.5 pence. Copper surged 2.3 percent in London, ending the longest losing streak since January.

Anglo American Plc rallied 8.3 percent to 2,708 pence. The owner of stakes in the world’s biggest platinum and diamond producers said it sold its zinc asset portfolio to Vedanta Resources Plc for $1.34 billion. Vedanta increased 11 percent to 2,560 pence

Bilfinger Berger AG surged 12 percent to 49.25 euros. Germany’s second-biggest builder said first-quarter net income rose to 48 million euros from 23 million euros and forecast output volume will gain.

RBS May Cut 2,600 Jobs in Insurance, Consumer Bank

By Gavin Finch and Kitty Donaldson Businessweek

May 10 (Bloomberg) -- Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc, Britain’s biggest government-owned bank, plans to cut 2,600 jobs at its insurance and consumer banking divisions, according to a person with knowledge of the plan.

The lender may eliminate 2,000 employees at its insurance division, which includes Direct Line and Churchill, and a further 600 jobs at its consumer banking head offices in the U.K., said the person, who declined to be identified because the talks are private.

RBS cut about 26,000 jobs, or 12 percent of its staff, between 2008 and yesterday, according to Bloomberg data. The bank is being forced by the European Union to sell its insurance units, along with more than 300 bank branches, as a result of the government assistance.

“It is deeply disappointing to be facing further Scottish job losses on this,” Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney said in a statement. “We are currently anticipating a total job loss of as much as 500 Scottish posts in Edinburgh and Glasgow.”

RBS, recipient of the world’s largest bank bailout, climbed 14 percent to 51.75 pence, giving the bank a market value of 30 billion pounds. The shares have gained 77 percent this year.

RBS is the only U.K. bank not to have posted a profit for the first quarter of this year. The lender lost a total of about 28 billion pounds in the past two years, following its acquisition of ABN Amro Holding NV.

RBS’s insurance unit posted a 50 million-pound loss from a profit of 76 million pounds a year earlier, the bank said when announcing first-quarter results last week.

“We are working hard to rebuild RBS in order to repay taxpayers for their support and having to cut jobs is the most difficult part of this process,” the Edinburgh-based bank said in an e-mailed statement. “We have strived at all times to be open and honest about the tough choices we are making.”

Goldman's Blankfein staying put

By David Ellis CNN MONEY

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Goldman Sachs Lloyd Blankfein secured a much-needed victory at the company's annual shareholder meeting Friday -- winning the support of his investors.

Shareholders largely voted against a proposal aimed at stripping Blankfein of his role as chairman. According to preliminary results released by Goldman Friday afternoon, only 19.1% voted in favor of separating the chairman and CEO roles.

Heading into the meeting, there was speculation that Blankfein's job might be in jeopardy given that the company is now facing civil from the Securities and Exchange Commission and the severe decline in the company's stock recently.

That sentiment permeated Friday's investor meeting at times. More than once during the three-hour event, vocal shareholders requested Blankfein either give up his chairmanship or step down entirely.

"I have no intention of doing that now," he said, facing several hundred shareholders, journalists and company staff.

Other shareholders spoke out in his defense, citing the firm's recent performance. Last fiscal year, Goldman (GS, Fortune 500) earned record profits of $13.4 billion.

"Why is everybody on the bandwagon about pulling Mr. Blankfein out? He is doing a very good job. He doesn't have to step down," said one Goldman shareholder, whose remarks were met with applause from the audience.

Blankfein has become the target for much of the criticism directed at Goldman since the federal government charged the firm three weeks ago with defrauding investors on the sale of a mortgage-related security.

Last week, he and six other current and former Goldman executives endured a nearly 11-hour Senate hearing last week that laid bare the company's day-to-day dealings.

Speculation has been growing that the company may soon attempt to strike a settlement with regulators in order to put the problem behind the firm.

Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Gary Cohn, the company's president and chief operating officer, declined to say if talks were underway but hinted that the firm was open to the idea.

"There are a myriad of opportunities out there and I won't rule any of them out," Cohn said.

Unlike last week's hearing in Capitol Hill, Friday's meeting drew scant attention from shareholder activists. Just under a dozen protesters gathered outside of Friday's meeting in lower Manhattan, demanding that Goldman disclose all of the money the company spent on elections and on lobbyists.

That recommendation failed to pass, but still managed to garner significant support from shareholders, collecting 37% of the votes.

Inside the meeting, shareholders quizzed top management about a variety of issues including its selection of former Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) CEO Lee Scott as a company board member as well as when the firm might start raising its dividend.

The discussion also drifted to broader issues now facing the firm and the financial industry, including its compensation practices and greater transparency on derivatives, a subject that is being considered by Congress as it undertakes financial regulatory reform.

Looking comfortable and confident Friday, Blankfein appeared to have little difficulty addressing such hot-button issues.

He also did not hesitate to tackle the tough question about whether the government's charges and continued bad press would make it difficult to hold onto its customers.

"I would say our business has held up quite well due to the support we have gotten from our clients," he said.

More than anything, Blankfein seemed intently focused on rebuilding the firm's tarnished reputation and providing greater transparency to its various constituencies, including clients, shareholders and the general public.

In his opening remarks, he said that the company planned to establish a business standards committee, which would enact a rigorous review of the firm's operations.

"We understand there is a disconnect between how we view ourselves and how the broader public perceives us," Blankfein said. "To address this, we need a rigorous self-examination."

Oil, Copper, Aluminum Jump on European Loan Plan; Rubber Gains

By Christian Schmollinger businessweek

May 10 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil, copper, aluminum and rubber climbed on speculation a European loan package worth almost $1 trillion and a program of securities purchases will contain sovereign debt risks and bolster economic growth.

Oil soared 2.7 percent to $77.12 a barrel, the biggest intraday increase since April 29, copper surged 2.1 percent to $7,092 per metric ton and aluminum gained 3.3 percent to $2,140 a ton. Rubber increased 1.6 percent to 266.8 yen ($2.88) per kilogram. Gold dropped 0.7 percent to $1,200.40 an ounce.


Investors sought higher-yielding assets as governments of the 16 euro nations agreed to lend as much as 750 billion euros ($962 billion) to countries under attack from speculators. The European Central Bank will intervene in government securities markets, European Union Economic and Monetary Commissioner Olli Rehn said in Brussels. The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index of 19 raw materials plunged 5.9 percent last week, the most since Dec. 5, 2008, on concerns the Greek debt crisis would spread

People have been selling risky assets for the past several weeks because of the Greek debts,” said Tetsu Emori, a commodity fund manager with Astmax Ltd. in Tokyo. “The people that were selling off are now buying back.”

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of shares advanced 1.2 percent to 119.84 as of 2 p.m. in Tokyo, its first gain in six days. Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures climbed 2.8 percent, the euro rose 1.3 percent to $1.2925 and the cost of protecting Asia-Pacific bonds from default fell the most in a year.

Oil Surges

Crude oil climbed from a 12-week low and June-delivery traded at $77.16 a barrel, up 2.7 percent, on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 1:05 p.m. in Singapore. Prices will likely return to $80 to $85 once the debt crisis in Greece is resolved, Algerian Energy Minister Chakib Khelil said yesterday.

The contract fell 2.6 percent to $75.11 a barrel on May 7, the lowest close since Feb. 12. Oil plunged 13 percent last week.

Three-month delivery copper on the London Metal Exchange traded at $7,085 a ton, up 2 percent. The metal’s finish of $6,945 a ton on May 7 was the lowest since Feb. 15. Zinc, nickel and lead also advanced.
