Automotive industry stalwart Ron Sewell dies ? Automotive Industry ...

RON Sewell, who founded automotive intelligence and research business Sewells more than 40 years ago, and was known as ?the father of modern dealership management? has died at the age of 83.

?

His outstanding contribution to theUKmotor industry was marked by a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Institute of the Motor Industry.

?

He also founded the Automotive Fellowship 16 years ago, an organisation where the most successful, forward thinking senior executives of the industry come together to be stimulated by leading edge thinkers and to share and brainstorm the critical issues facing their businesses.

?

Sewell formed the Fellowship because he felt there was a need for manufacturers, dealers and other organisations involved in the industry to work together.

?

Christopher Macgowan, visiting professor at the University of Buckingham?s Business School?s Centre for Automotive Management, vice president of the Automotive Fellowship and a former chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, was quoted by industry publication AM as saying: ?It is with enormous sadness that I have to report the death of my dear friend Ron Sewell.

?

?He was the inspiration behind the Automotive Fellowship International, was arguably the first person to write management accounts books for automotive dealers ? which have been widely translated ? and provided guidance and advice to thousands within the industry. The well-known Sewells publication was, of course, created by Ron.?

?

Sewells was acquired by leading publisher EMAP in the mid-1990s. EMAP was later broken up and Sewells along with trade publications including AM and Fleet News subsequently became part of the Bauer publishing group.

Mens Skin Care Tips - Beauty, Health and Fitness

The skin is one of the largest organs of the human body and not only does it serve as a protective layer against various elements; it also helps us to breathe and perspire in order to maintain the right temperatures within the body. It may only be fair to take proper care of it all times and just as you take time to invest in other matters, you should also apply the same energy into maintaining proper skin care. The following are useful tips that you can rely on for better skin care for men;

1.?? Cleansing

If you do not have a lot of time to clean up and apply this or that, cleansing is one of the most important activities that you can do for your skin. In fact this is a basic practice that should come first before any other application. A man?s skin not only has large pores but it also has active sebaceous glands which often times produce much sebum than needed leaving the skin oily and greasy. This is where cleansing comes in; it is able to cut through the dirt and oil cleaning the skin gently. For this task, ?a natural Foaming Facial Cleanser or a specially formulated Mens Deep Active Cleansing Mask can come in handy. These products can work on any skin type and they contain natural ingredients which work towards complementing your skin whenever you use them.

Sharp Pantone 5 ICS phone has 8 color choices, 3.7-inch screen -- oh, and a radiation detector

sharp-pantone-ics-phone-8-color-radiation-detector

Color us shocked and jealous at the new Android 4.0 phone from Sharp -- strange and wonderful even by Japan's highly elevated standards. The eight colors of the 3.7-inch Pantone branded phone from carrier Softbank are nice for sure, but the ability to sense between .005 and 9.99 μSv/h of radiation is in a new category altogether. Though Sharp has hedged a bit by describing the detector as "non-compliant" with Japan standards at this point, the possibilities seem endless for such a feature -- the ability to constantly report your location and radiation level to Facebook comes to mind, for instance. It will be offered -- in Japan only, we presume -- with a 4-megapixel rear camera, eight Pantone colors, 0.3-megapixel front camera, 854 x 480 resolution, and will be dust-proof and waterproof. The price hasn't been discussed yet, but we can't imagine too much quibbling whatever it is, for a phone that could keep you gamma-ray safe.

Update: We have an image after the break showing how Sharp reduced the radiation circuits into a tiny package needed for the Pantone 5. The phone even has a dedicated button for the feature.

Children's Health & Fitness ? Fighting Childhood Obesity In Alaska

May 27th, 2012 by Len Saunders

From KTVA ? CBS?..

It?s being called a national epidemic: obesity in the state of Alaska. And officials say it?s hurting our kids.

Three out of every ten Alaska kids are obese, and will more likely grow up to be obese adults dealing with major illnesses. Fighting obesity has become a top priority for health advocates who are using a powerful documentary to get families off their couch and moving.

With 30 percent of kids in Alaska considered overweight, it?s what could happen when they?re older that health officials say will cost us more than we already spend.

?Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis,? said Karol Fink, who is the Obesity Prevention manager for the State of Alaska. ?We?re spending $459 million annually on medical care costs attributed full to obesity just in Alaska.?

Facebook once again rumored to be making a phone, this time with iPhone talent

The only thing surprising about rumors that Facebook is once again working on their own smartphone is that they're still rumors -- that Facebook is taking so long to figure out a strategy and execute on it. Now The New York Times is saying they're trying again, and they're doing it with iPhone talent.

Editorial: Despite shaky 48 fps Hobbit preview, high frame rates will take off

editorial-48-fps-hobbit-preview-high-frame-rates

Well actually, the Hobbit preview wasn't shaky, it was smooth -- maybe too smooth -- and that's the point. "It does take you a while to get used to," Peter Jackson has admitted, referring to the surprisingly fluid motion of his 48 fps movie footage. But is he right to think audiences will even give it a chance? The launch of high frame-rate (HFR) cinema is surrounded by publicity in the run-up to the Hobbit's debut on December 12th, but it equally has a lot going against it. For starters, the film's 48 fps preview wasn't exactly received warmly. On top of that, the video-style apperance of HFR has a long history of being disliked by movie-goers -- past attempts since the 1970s have all flamed out.

85 years after the first 24 fps movies, the same number of frames are still going stubbornly through the gate (digital or otherwise) each second, so that must be what "filmic" is, right? Or will we look back on 24fps as the bad old days? Read on to see if these new/old-fangled frame speeds might survive, and though a 48 fps Hobbit trailer isn't available, we've provided a couple of clips to help you judge what two-dimensional HFR looks like.

Late-night poll: Which carrier will offer the best Samsung Galaxy S III?

SGS III

There's a neat discussion going on in the forums about the Samsung Galaxy S III, and how carriers will screw it up -- or not screw it up. To our pals in Europe and elsewhere who may not know, in North America carriers have pretty much had their way with all the previous Galaxy phones. Different shapes and sizes abound, and I don't think any of them have the same software as any of the others. Some changes were welcome (the Epic 4G had a damn nice sliding QWERTY), some not so much (hello there locked down NFC). 

We're all expecting to hear word from Samsung about more carrier releases soon, and with that will come the big question -- who will get it right? Let us know what you think in tonight's poll.

Change management practitioner course | Business 40

Becoming a change management practitioner sounds much more complicated than it actually is. This is a practical course that is designed to help managers and other members of staff to manage change within their own environment. Anyone already working in this kind of environment will definitely benefit from this type of training.

The aim of the course is to give delegates the knowledge and skills to manage the acceptance of change by putting change theories into practice, enabling staff to become engaged in the changes. There are two levels to the course: foundation level and practitioner level. On the foundation course the delegate will learn how change affects different groups, such as the team, the whole organisation, and individuals, such as the change leader. Following this course will give them the foundation qualification and this is examined by a multiple choice paper.

The practitioner level of the training is designed to build on the knowledge in the foundation level, enabling delegates to get a deeper understanding of the concepts and applications of change management. This level of the training is also examined on a multiple choice paper, but it is an open book exam and there are four questions on a set scenario. The pass mark for this level of training is 50%, but the only candidates eligible for this level of training are those who have already taken the foundation exam. A successful result at this level means that the delegate is able to add Change Management Practitioner to their details on a business card.

Defense says Muslim solider never built bomb

WACO, Texas (AP) ? A Muslim soldier was stopped just hours before completing assembly of a bomb that he planned to detonate at a restaurant full of Fort Hood troops, prosecutors said during opening statements Tuesday at his federal trial.

After Pfc. Naser Jason Abdo was arrested at a motel near the Texas Army post in July, police found components for an explosive device in his room and backpack, showing he "intended to commit mass murder," prosecutor Gregg Sofer said.

Abdo, 22, faces up to life in prison if convicted of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and five other charges.

But lead defense attorney Zach Boyd countered in U.S. District Court in Waco that no bomb was ever built, and the government is "not going to be able to get around that fact."

Abdo was AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky., when he was arrested in Killeen. He told investigators that he went to Texas to "martyr himself" for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, said FBI special agent C. Michael Owens, the first prosecution witness.

Owens testified that Abdo told investigators he planned to put a bomb in what looked like a gift box, leave it a Chinese buffet frequented by Fort Hood soldiers, wait outside and shoot any survivors.

But he was headed for South Texas and not the Fort Hood area when he went AWOL. He said he stayed in several cities ? paying for motel rooms and food with cash or gift cards so he couldn't be tracked. And when he couldn't get to his destination by taxi, Abdo said, he looked at a map and recognized Killeen because of the news reports after the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage in which a Muslim soldier is charged, Owens said.

"He said he wanted to give faith to brother Nidal ... and said 'People think he's crazy, but he's not crazy and I came here to remind the people,'" Owens testified.

Abdo was referring to Maj. Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist charged in the shootings that killed 13 and wounded more than two dozen. Hasan faces the death penalty if convicted at his military trial, set to start in August.

Abdo said he didn't plan an attack inside Fort Hood because he didn't believe he would be able to get through security at the gates, Owens said. But Abdo said he bought a military uniform at a local store because it was necessary to fit into the community, Owens testified.

Killeen police began investigating Abdo on July 26 after a gun store employee reported a young man bought 6 pounds of smokeless gunpowder, shotgun ammunition and a magazine for a semiautomatic pistol, while seeming to know little about his purchases, according to previous court testimony and documents. Officers also learned that he bought a U.S. Army uniform and a "Smith" name patch from another store but didn't know his unit. He was detained at the motel July 27.

Military officials had been trying to find Abdo since he went AWOL over the July 4 weekend. That's when police in Oak Grove, Ky., near Fort Campbell, also reported finding a shovel, two large bleach containers, body bags and a digital camera in a trash bin outside a truck stop.

Oak Grove police Sgt. Victor Lynch told jurors Tuesday that "his heart was racing" and he thought someone was in danger when he saw those items. Lynch found Abdo's car at a nearby restaurant, where a truck stop employee had reported seeing him go after dumping the items. Lynch said he found a cattle prod, three boxes of handcuffs, trash bags and a large body bag carrier in the car, but Abdo was nowhere to be found.

Owens testified earlier that Abdo said he had planned to offer a Fort Campbell soldier a ride, kill him and videotape it while reciting the names of people he felt had been wronged by the U.S. military ? including Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, a 14-year-old Iraqi girl who was raped before she and her family were killed in 2006. Five current or former U.S. soldiers went to prison, one for a life term, for their roles in that attack.

Chinese fishermen held by North Korea released

By Ed Flanagan, NBC News

BEIJING ? All 29 Chinese fishermen held for almost two weeks by a North Korean crew were released and returned home on Monday, ending a hostage crisis that had outraged many in China and strained relations between the normally close friends.

China's state-run Xinhua News quoted an official at the Chinese Embassy in Pyongyang as saying that they had been informed that the three fishing vessels detained by the North Korean coast guard on May 8 were on their way back to China.

The sailors were in good health "with sufficient food and healthcare" after 13 days in North Korean waters,?Xinhua quoted the official as saying.


The official's statement runs counter to reports by owners of two of the ships captured in the Yellow Sea who said that the crews had been given little to eat and had very little rest since the boats were taken.

The incident came as a surprise because China is North Korea's closest ally, and most important source of food aid and gasoline despite international sanctions meant to punish the country for its nuclear program and rocket launches.

Chinese netizens abuzz over reported boat hijackings by N. Korea

Questions shrouded the affair even as the sailors were set free.

Xinhua and other state media did not report whether a ransom had been paid, although it was earlier reported that the captors had demanded 900,000 yuan ($140,000) in exchange for the release of the vessels and their crew.

It also was not clear whether the North Koreans involved in the kidnapping and reported ransom negotiations were working on behalf of the North Korean government or alone.

Fishermen who operate in the waters where the boats were taken told the Chinese newspaper Global Times?about previous incidents.

"The North Korean coast guards took almost everything, even pencils and clothes,? the newspaper quoted one fishermen as saying about a previous robbery. ?They also pumped the fuel out of seized boats, leaving just enough for the journey home."

Even as it tried to cover the day?s news, the Global Times?appeared to contradict its own reports.

While a news story reported that the latest kidnapping wasn?t the first incident involving North Korea?s coast guard, a Monday editorial in the same paper refuted the fisherman?s story.

"Currently there are rumors about misbehavior from North Koreans in the border areas between the two countries [and that] China does not seem to be taking a tough attitude toward them," the editorial stated. ?Both should take effective measures to eliminate such rumors.?

Are China & North Korea happier than America?

But, right after news of this most recent incident broke in early May, Chinese officials ordered hundreds of fishing boats in the area to restrict their operations to 50 miles within China?s territorial waters.?

While the recent hijacking prompted an outraged response online and in China?s highly-controlled state media, on Monday journalists seemed to have reverted to a friendlier attitude, working overtime to dampen anger they had generated and fueled.

For example, the same Global Times editorial urged China to work on improving relations between China and North Korea.

"The case should be a turning point for China in its handling of border disputes between China and North Korea,? the editorial said optimistically. ?China and North Korea have a solid geographic basis for their friendship [and] both attach strategic importance to this friendship.?

Fitch cuts Japan as politics hinders debt plan

TOKYO (Reuters) - Fitch cut Japan's sovereign credit status on Tuesday to the lowest level among global ratings agencies as a political stalemate dims the chance that the country can curb its snowballing debt.

Fitch Ratings cut Japan's long-term foreign currency rating by two levels from AA to A plus, the fifth highest investment grade. It cut the more important local currency rating by one notch from AA minus to A plus. Both were given a negative outlook.

Fitch warned further downgrades were possible unless the government takes new fiscal policy measures to stabilize public finances and its ratio of debt to gross domestic product.

"The downgrades and negative outlooks reflect growing risks for Japan's sovereign credit profile as a result of high and rising public debt ratios," Andrew Colquhoun, head of Asia-Pacific sovereigns at Fitch said in a statement.

"The country's fiscal consolidation plan looks leisurely, relative even to other fiscally challenged high-income countries, and implementation is subject to political risk."

The downgrade could serve as a chilling reminder to highly indebted countries in Europe that urgent action is needed to trim public debt and prevent concerns about sovereign debt from weighing further on the global economy.

Several euro zone countries have been hit with multiple downgrades as the region struggles to deal with its mounting debt crisis.

The United States is expected to reach a $16.4 trillion government debt ceiling after November presidential elections, laying the ground for another protracted political battle over how to cut the budget, similar to a bitter debate that rattled financial markets last year.

After Japan's ratings cut, the dollar rose against the yen to a session high of 79.85 yen. But analysts said the downgrade is unlikely to have a lasting impact on markets because Japanese government bonds are mostly held by domestic investors.

Fitch's A plus local currency rating for Japan is the one most closely followed by investors because the government's debt is largely funded by domestic investors, who are backed by about $15 trillion in household savings.

Bank of Japan data shows that domestic investors held 93 percent of government debt as of December.

The Fitch rating is one notch below its rival ratings agencies. Moody's Investors Service rates Japan Aa3 with a stable outlook. Standard & Poor's rates Japan at AA minus with a negative outlook.

All the ratings are broadly in the middle of the investment grade range of ratings.

TAX PLAN

Concerns among ratings agencies over Japan's debt and the inability of successive governments to come up with a credible plan to deal with it are not new.

Moody's downgraded Japan by one notch in August last year, blaming a revolving door political leadership, a reference to Japan's six prime ministers in five years.

S&P cut Japan's ratings in January last year, saying Japan lacked a convincing plan to deal with its debt and also citing political risks.

Japan's debt burden, at twice the size of its $5 trillion economy, is by far the worst among industrialized countries. It has been built up as the government tried to stimulate the economy during two decades of sluggish growth and deflation.

Fitch said Japan's gross general government debt is projected to rise to 239 percent of GDP by the end of 2012, the highest of any Fitch-rated sovereign.

Based on that projection, the ratio would have risen 61 percentage points since the global financial crisis, compared with a median of 39 percentage points for countries in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and 8 percentage points for 'A' range sovereigns.

The government's own plan to reduce its debt burden doesn't foresee the debt/GDP ratio coming down until 2020/21.

"Fitch regards this as a slow pace of consolidation given the scale of Japan's debt," it said.

Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has staked his political career on plans to boost the country's sales tax, currently 5 percent, to fund swelling social security costs in the world's fastest ageing population.

At the end of March, Japan's government submitted laws to double the sales tax by 2015, setting up a showdown that could split the ruling party, force early elections and deepen policy paralysis.

Opposition parties are unwilling to cooperate with Noda's plan and the government lacks the numbers to force legislation through parliament.

"Given the political inaction and relatively weaker growth, and no development in regard to sales tax and the fiscal outlook, the downgrade is not a surprise," said Derek Halpenny, European head of currency research at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi in London.

"The yen has sold off a little bit, but the history of downgrades of sovereign debt in Japan is that yen selling is not sustained."

After Fitch's downgrade, Japanese Finance Minister Jun Azumi said that the government will try to implement social welfare and tax reforms.

The OECD said earlier on Tuesday that a credible fiscal consolidation plan must be a top priority for Japan.

Swift action was needed, it said in an economic outlook report, because budget deficits projected at about 10 percent of GDP for 2012 and 2013 would further push Japan's debt into unchartered territory.

Ratings agencies have repeatedly warned Japan that its pace of fiscal consolidation is too slow to lower its debt burden and budget deficit.
