16 January 2010 | No Comments » | admin

At a recently held press conference in the Max Schemeling Halle in Berlin, Volkswagen’s subsidiary SEAT together with the Columbian pop artist Shakira presented the prize in the fundraising campaign for Shakira’s charity foundation, Pies Descalzos (Bare Feet) a unique SEAT Leon Pies Descalzos.

Shakira said during the press conference, “The support for Pies Descalzos is very welcome. The need for education and proper nutrition for the children in my home country Colombia is very big and I trust that SEAT’s initiative will aid a lot.”

“By supporting Shakira’s charity foundation, we show our social responsibility”, commented Erich Schmitt, SEAT’s president. “We use our massive advertising campaign in all European countries that will be visited by Shakira to incorporate the possibility to donate money to Pies Descalzos.”

A one-of-a-kind car

The Leon Pies Descalzos was built by SEAT in partnership with Shakira. Shakira has helped during the designing process. She acted as the consultant on colors and materials. The standard SEAT LeonCupra was transformed into a completely new car which could be won by one very lucky person chosen in the scheduled fund raising campaign in May. The promotion for the upcoming fund raising event has started after Shakira makes it a part of her first European Tour concert in Hamburg. The fund raising event is going to be promoted in all communication channels through the integrated advertising campaigh that SEAT has launched. The fund raising event will end on May 15 and one lucky winner will take home the Leon Pies Descalzos. The awarding will commence during the Barcelona Motor Show which is scheduled in the beginning of June.

Countries that are welcomed to participate in fund raising event are as follows: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Interested participants in the Bare Feet fundraising event may be able to win the Leon Pies Descalzos by donating money to charity foundation through SEAT’s campaign. Those who would like to donate may either send through SMS via dedicated number in each country and donate 1 Euro or log on to dedicated Shakira/SEAT website-www.catch-the-fever.com- where philanthropists may donate any amount they want through their credit cars.

The Leon Pies Descalzos that SEAT is donating to the fundraising campaign represents a value of 27,300 Euros in its equivalent version on the Spanish market. During the press conference in Berlin, Erich Schmitt handed over a cheque with the same amount to Shakira to give the fundraising a good start.

Leon Pies Descalzos the most powerful road-going SEAT today

The base used for the Leon Pies Descalzos is same as those of the León Cupra. This car has already made its mark in history books by being the Spanish brand’s most powerful road-going car to date. With a 240hp (177kW) the all new Cupra model incorporate all of SEAT’s expertise in creating cars with an overtly sporty attitude.

The modifications in the Leon Pies Descalzos include the exterior color, which comes in a unique lilac metallic color. This color is also present on several details in the interior such as the dashboard and the back of the seats. Its standard 18 inch wheels are painted in black. The logo of Shakira’s charity foundation is incorporated in the seats as well as in several places on the exterior.

The Bare Feet Foundation

Shakira’s Bare Foot Foundation was founded in Columbia. This organization is devoted to finding and providing opprtunities for children in Columbia. This charity foundation takes its root from Barranquilla whihc is a hometown of Shakira on the Caribbean coast of Columbia. The foundation has also expanded reaching other parts of the country. The main objective of the foundationis to improve the education, nutrition as well as the lives of thousands of displaced children who are living dangerous conditions in Columbia.

Ford’s Struggle Gets Even Tougher

16 January 2010 | No Comments » | admin

Like many automakers Ford is also experiencing long bleak sales melancholia in its car division. Though its trucks are selling well and the throne is retained, Ford is not a stranger to economic straits. Moreover, to wipe the bleak future, the automaker sets forth new releases with high hopes.

The thing is to deliver vehicles that will not only capture the imagination and lock the eyes of the entire consumerdom but to capture their soft spot as well. Simply, the automaker can no longer stand more sales losers so it has released its powerful Edge. Edge auto parts are expected to perform like Ford F-Series parts. The latter are known for their superb quality and performance.

Ford Edge is its newest crossover utility vehicle. It was launched at the 2006 North American International Auto Show. Edge shares same platform with Fusion, Lincoln MKX and MKZ sedans, Mazda CX-9 and Mercury Milan.

Edge is among the first vehicles from the automaker to use the 3.5 L Duratec 35 V6 engine that generates 265 horsepower and 250 ft?lbf and mated to the 6F six-speed automatic transmission. The CUV offers both the front wheel drive and all-wheel drive. It also offers 3 trim levels ? SE, SEL and SEL “PLUS” ? to cater diversity in preferences. The front fascia of Edge is also given Fusion-esque Ford body parts design like the bright three-bar grille. These are some of the features that give Edge that extra edge in the industry.

Edge architecture uses a unibody design that provides higher structural rigidity, lower curb weights, greater structural rigidity, and driving dynamics. It is designed to radiate a passenger-like ambience rather than trucklike drivability.

With the growing and craving auto crowd, Ford is expected to evolve and create better vehicles. Lately, the automaker released retro-Mustangs to tickle the fancies of classic vehicle aficionados. Ford Mustang aftermarket parts are dabbed with classic eccentricity to come up with exotic versions of the vehicle. Starting next year until 2010, Ford will be releasing retro-Mustangs to satisfy distinctive vehicle cravings. Ford, as analysts say, is still struggling to remain as one of the influential auto giants around the globe. Moreover, more innovations and new concepts are expected from the automaker.

Subaru Performance Transmission Upgrades

16 January 2010 | No Comments » | admin

There is probably a transmission shop in almost every town in the country that can build a bulletproof transmission for American made vehicles. Whether it is a late model Mustang or a 60’s Chevelle, there are lots of aftermarket components and many years of technology available for the transmission rebuilder to utilize.

The same cannot be said for the 4EAT automatic transmissions found in Subaru vehicles. In factory form, these transmissions demonstrate several problem areas that can cause failure in as little as 20,000 miles with a stock engine and even sooner in modified applications.

Poor shift quality, anemic factory components, and above all, improperly configured torque converters plague the automatic transmission equipped vehicle. This is in conjunction with the automatic’s propensity to burn out the high clutch pack (third gear) and the 2-4 clutches (second and fourth gear) with even moderate increases in engine output.

Realizing the need to take import and sport compact automatics to their fullest potential, IPT Performance Transmissions- a New Jersey based company, committed a large portion of their research time and dollars toward improving the Subaru automatic transmission.

First up on the hit parade of internal modifications is the need to address the issue of valve body calibration. The valve body mods are really the foundation of any performance trans rebuild. An automatic transmission utilizes a network of valves, servos, solenoids, orifices, accumulators and passages that control and route hydraulic pressure to the appropriate places to apply the clutches and bands.

Without going into elaborate detail which would fall outside the scope of this article, suffice it to say that modifying the valve body effectively changes the rate of clutch apply and also increases the clamping force with which these components have to work with. This is why shift kits and modified valve bodies produce that firm, performance type shift that increases the transmission’s overall capacity for power handling.

Next, all critical support bushings need to be replaced to insure that the centerline of the transmission runs in perfect alignment with the centerline of the crankshaft. Ignoring this step puts a lot of undue stress on the internal transmission components.

Many of the other parts also such as the pinion shaft, the front differential ring gear and the planetary gearset undergo various metallurgical processes such as heat treating, Meta-Lax stress relieving, and cryogenic treatment (freezing them in liquid nitrogen at -300 degrees Fahrenheit to ‘reset’ the part’s structure on the molecular level).

Lastly, all of the required seals and gaskets are changed to materials that are better able to cope with the heat and stress that is common in high powered applications. Performance clutches and steel reaction plates are installed and their clearances set to much more exacting specifications than those that are used by the factory. Most importantly, IPT utilizes a proprietary six disk high clutch pack and a five disk 2-4 clutch pack which increases the second, third, and fourth gear torque capacity by over 25% versus the factory set up- this is the key to getting a high powered vehicle make a 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 shift instead of just bouncing off the rev limiter.

As for the modifications outside of the gearbox, the next thing of importance is of course the torque converter. In an automatic equipped vehicle, one of the most important components in the entire car in regards to optimizing performance is a correctly configured converter.

In addition to being made with many strength improvements over the factory piece, a performance converter enables a vehicle to better take advantage of the RPM range at which maximum power is made. In simple terms, a properly designed converter will allow a vehicle to launch under more power by increasing the rpm at which the launch takes place. In essence, a torque converter is an infinitely variable transmission in and of itself, and altering its torque multiplying characteristics becomes absolutely necessary when other variables in the vehicle are changed (bigger turbos and bigger cams).

Even in otherwise stock turbocharged Subaru vehicles, ET reductions of over one full second are not at all uncommon with the addition of a properly configured converter.

Transmission, torque converter and valve body upgrades are not only for American made vehicles anymore. Increased performance, durability and more efficient shifting is now available for the vehicles of almost every manufacturer- thanks in part to the few companies that are willing to do the research and development work required for this rapidly growing segment of the automotive aftermarket.

Supercharge your Health With Awesome Vitamin Benefits

16 January 2010 | No Comments » | admin

It’s a proven fact that the body requires certain vitamins in order to stay sound and function properly. Now, whether or not you begin a program with those vitamins is completely up to you. Much of this pertains to your regular dieting plan. And just to be clear, everyone who eats is on some kind of diet. It’s not always about dropping pounds. It is possible some are even trying to gain weight. In addition to your day-to-day meals, you might want to incorporate multivitamins and supplements. You may not know it, but just about everybody needs these extra vitamin benefits.

I am in all probability one of the few who actually set about taking multivitamins supplements when I was fairly young. I can’t say that I’ve watched too many teenagers get excited about vitamin gains much. To the contrary, you shouldn’t adopt the thought you don’t require valid nutritional supplementation. Just because you have time on your side doe not mean you don’t need vitamins. Agreed, youth plays a role, but that in itself does not last long. The key is to educate your body for what’s yet to come. If you can get your body in shape through persistence and stay intelligent and fit day in and day out, you will be relatively good to go. Just think how much more skilful you’ll be at age sixty.

Some families require vitamin and supplement benefits even to a higher degree than the rest of us. Let’s say you’re a football player. Your muscles are put to the exam of endurance in a logical way. When you lift weights, muscles are torn and slightly wiped out. Then it’s time to recuperate. How are you going to get your biceps and pectoral muscles back in functional condition and eliminate that post-workout soreness? Vitamins and supplements to replenish what you may use up! You need to develop a knowledge both separate, and altogether about all the vitamin benefits you can.

An inexpensive multivitamin will more beneficial than none at all. When you take them with meals and water, these supplementations help to restore nutritional balance. I have been taking beneficial nutrients for a multitude of years, and must aboveboard articulate that it’s no hassle whatsoever. You merely pop one a day with your breakfast, or dinner, whatever is best. You know , getting a healthy body is worth it! And what’s more, multivitamin pills can do a good deal for your skin and hair. The earliest you begin a proper diet and exercising regimen, the more beneficial.

Ford’s Young Exec Faces Big Challenges

15 January 2010 | 1 Comment » | admin

Joe Hinrichs is the newest executive of Ford Motor Co. As such, Ford family expects a lot from him. He faces big challenges and he has the burden of surpassing Ford’s expectations.

Hinrichs spent grew up in the small, blue-collar town of Fostoria. With a 4.0, he graduated as valedictorian of his Catholic high school. Then, he went to the University of Dayton on a president’s scholarship. He pursued MBA at Harvard University. After that, he was absorbed into the auto industry. Hinrichs was a former engineer of General Motors Corp. factory way back in 1989. He transferred to Ford Motor Co. in 2000. He transported Ford’s transmission parts from one plant to another. Since coming to Ford in 2000, he’s had six promotions.

Now, at the age of 40, Hinrichs is the youngest vice president at Ford. He is charged with extensive North American manufacturing operations of the automaker. He supervises 42 Ford factories in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

It is apparent that Ford is riding on rocky and troubled terrains of the automotive world. This fact alone is a big challenge to the young executive. “Next year will be one of the most challenging years that I’ve ever seen, at Ford or anywhere,” Hinrichs said.

Hinrichs to-do list for 2007 includes the closure of 4 plants and the preparation to close 3 more in 2008, keep reduction costs in plants, help launch five new cars and trucks, and execute 32,000 hourly buyouts at factories, without compromising safety or quality. According to him, if all that weren’t enough, he will help negotiate a new contract with the UAW.

“Joe has served spaghetti in this plant,” said Jim Buffalo Smythe, who serves on the plant committee for UAW Local 2280. That local represents workers at the Van Dyke Transmission Plant, where Hinrichs started his Ford career. “He’s a very strong leader. Some people just have that. And he has that,” Smythe said. “Joe can talk to anybody — that’s his strength.”

The big challenges Hinrichs faces now are the hardest in his entire career. “Everyone believes that I’ve been very fortunate, and I have been,” Hinrichs noted. “But there’s five or six events that have just been tragic, real setbacks. You have to overcome them.”

This year through September, Ford lost $7 billion and this calls for a swift action. Hinrichs is determined to focus on quality of products to boost trust among consumers. Ford alloy wheels, engines, ergonomics and other performance and safety features as well as effective workflow are the main focus of Hinrichs.

How to Supercharge your Influence and Effectiveness With People

15 January 2010 | No Comments » | admin

Have you ever noticed how some network marketers are great at getting prospects to go to websites, get on conference calls, and attend meetings? On the other hand it seem like they struggle just to get anyone to listen. Here?s 1 secret to getting people to take action.

Communicate the Benefits NOT the Features

Critical to creating leads for your business is your ability to communicate the benefits of doing business with you. This rule applies to both things you say to people, and marketing that you do. You have to get good at communicating the benefits of your products, your opportunity, your company, and even the benefits of working with you personally.

There are two things that you could talk about. You could talk about the FEATURES of your company, products, or services. Or you could talk about the Benefits of your products, company, or services. The features might describe the product, but the benefit describes what you get out of using that product.

?This hammer is made of the finest steel.? ? That?s a feature.

?This hammer will never wear out, so you?ll never have to buy another one.? ? That?s a benefit.

Don?t talk about all the ingredients of your vitamin; talk about how you started taking it and now you feel better, live healthier, and have more energy.

Don?t talk about how your company is debt free, unless you mention that how that means you don?t every have to worry about getting your paycheck.

Don?t talk about the endless details of your comp plan; talk about you can make a profit in the first week just by taking a few simple steps.

If people take your nutritional products usually don?t really care what it?s made of. What they want is to feel better, or have more energy. No one probably cares who your CEO is, or how many distributors your company has. What they want to know is, are they going to lose money? Is this going to waste a lot of their time? Can I trust this person?

How to Know if You?re Using Features or Benefits

There?s one sure test for knowing if you?re talking about a feature or a benefit. Just ask yourself ?So What?. This company is debt free [So What?], so that means you can rest assured knowing that you?ll always be paid on time.

Want to know how I?m attracting hungry, qualified, interested people to my business? I?ve just completed a new book to help network marketers be more successful called ?Market Network Marketing?.
