The past few months have brought unsettling news for the delivery and logistics sectors as well as other road users; proposed increases in taxes and fuel duty were met with swift objections from MP’s and Motoring Associations.

In a move that will benefit large haulage firms and man and van companies alike, George Osborne has scrapped the 3 pence fuel duty rise that was due to hit road users in January, as outlined is his Autumn Statement; as well as reducing future increases planned for August from 5 pence to 3. The turnaround, a result of increasing pressure from those opposed is no doubt a boost for transportation and delivery companies as the now abandoned fuel duty hike would have seen a haulier operating 10 lorries fuel costs soar by £65,000.

Further, the Department for Transport released its November review “The Logistics Growth Review – Connecting People with Goods” detailing proposed plans and investments for the sector for the future. The review outlined a number of favourable changes for the delivery and logistics sectors including:

- £1bn investment in “growth critical roads”
- Securing commercial funding for logistics developments projects
- £4m investment in skills for logistics schemes and improving the image of the sector
- £8m commitment to lower emissions technologies

The investments are expected to “Improve longer term capacity, performance and resilience of congested road and rail networks”

Robert Matthams, Managing Director of Shiply, the online transport marketplace with more than 40,000 transport and removal companies as members, commended the government’s turnaround on fuel duty as well as its increased support of the sector.

“These plans are great news. The logistics business makes up 7% of employment in the UK and with small profit margins (1-3%) it is important that the sector receives support, it’s a huge driver of the economy and I believe it’s significant that the government is trying to create greater confidence for investment. I also think the plans to better the image of the industry is vital, delivery services are enormously important to businesses and customers, so ensuring we invest in apprenticeships, qualifications and encouraging the next generation is key to its continued success.”

South Africa – (11.11.2011) - Vodafone mHealth Solutions, a global team that works with mobile communications for healthcare services, recently released a new Insights Guide, which is also available in South Africa.

The Insights Guide delivers insights into the acceptance of new mobile health services in the developed world. It focuses on one of the fundamental barriers to the adoption of mHealth: human behaviour, by covering four key areas: An overview of mHealth opportunity; Evaluating behaviour to marketed mHealth services; Adopting technology: understanding the challenges for healthcare professionals, and Understanding health psychology and the science of behaviour.

The Insights Guide is part of the Vodafone Health Debate series, launched by Vodafone – known as Vodacom in South Africa – which is a continuing commitment to thought leadership in healthcare. The guide is the first in a series of guides which examine some of the greatest barriers to the adoption of mHealth services. It is positioned to drive the Health Debate forward through fresh perspectives and insights into topical and pivotal themes in the emerging market for mobile health.

Head of Vodafone mHealth Solutions, Axel Nemetz, commented “Our aim is to provide some evidence-based stimulus that will encourage all those working in the different areas of healthcare to consider the innovation opportunities that are now available to them. We believe that real progress can only be initiated when all stakeholders look beyond traditional horizons and share ideas that challenge the status quo so that together we can identify new ways of addressing current issues.”

The mobile health initiative aims to improve healthcare outcomes and quality of life by giving patients and healthcare professionals increased flexibility and freedom, for example, by more effective remote monitoring of patients, the provision and exchange of health related information or improved stock management for pharmaceutical drugs.

Head lice feed on blood which they suck through a needle-like feeding tube – this is not noticeable though. It’s the saliva or poo from the lice that can irritate and cause the itching. That’s when you’ll spot your child scratching! Other signs of head lice are (obviously) feeling something moving in the hair, red bite marks on the scalp, white nits on the scalp or in the hair (including empty nits) and crawling lice of course.

Head lice can however, be effectively treated using medicated lotions or by wet combing, using a specially designed head lice comb. The Linicin range, available online at www.chemist.net, gives you everything you need to get rid of head lice and keep them away. The Linicin range includes a simple 15 minute head lice lotion that kills the lice and their larvae, and prevents the development of their head lice eggs too. Alternatively, there’s a head lice shampoo that is effective in a quick 10 minute treatment. Plus, there’s a head lice preventer spray which can stop you or your child from getting head lice in the first place.

Linicin 15 min Lotion contains 99% dimethicone, which blocks the lice’s uptake of oxygen, thus suffocating them. This form of treatment means that the head lice cannot build up any resistance to the product, unlike insecticidal treatments. Linicin 15 min Lotion is also suitable for the whole family and can be used on children from the age of 6 months, as well as by mothers during pregnancy and when breastfeeding.

Linicin 10 min Shampoo is an efficient, non-toxic and mild shampoo that eliminates head lice and impedes the development of nits. It is colourless with a neutral scent and can be used in adults and children from the age of two. Linicin 10 min Shampoo is easy to use, works within 10 minutes and is rinsed out using lukewarm water only. Treatment needs to be repeated after 9-10 days.

Linicin Prevent Spray is a head louse repellent, that prevents head lice infestation in an effective and safe way. It makes your hair ‘invisible’ to head lice. Linicin Prevent Spray can be used on adults and children from the age of two. Linicin Prevent Spray is non-toxic and does not contain any insecticides so is safe to use every day during high risk periods. The spray is mild and colourless with a neutral scent; simply spray onto dry hair, no need to rinse out.

Unique to this year, United Way Worldwide hosted its annual Million Dollar Roundtable weekend in Miami, and 20 philanthropic couples from around the country, leaders in their own communities and respective fields of business, were also in attendance.

Dressed in traditional folk clothing, these performers energized Heathrow and Birmingham international airports throughout the afternoon and evening, while the WDF’s video screens featured Diwali messages and related content. Many passengers at these airports joined the dancers in the merriment and took to the floor, reports suggest.

The purpose, according to reports, was “to bring the energy, excitement and colour” of Diwali season. It was kind of “instore theater” where the customers were treated to something “unexpected, inspiring and entertaining”, reports said.

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, commended WDF and its parent company Autogrill for patronizing Diwali and spreading its joy. He urged other major companies of the world to put Diwali celebrations on their annual calendar of sponsored events.

Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, suggested exploration of rich philosophy which Hinduism offered.

Founded in 1997, WDF aims to “offer the ultimate airport shopping experience” and claims to be “UK’s leading travel retailer” featuring over 17,000 products in its 87 stores at 23 terminals in Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Southampton, etc. It is member of Milan (Italy) headquartered Autogrill Group.

Diwali, the festival of lights, is the most popular Hindu festival and aims at dispelling the darkness and lighting up the lives and symbolizes the victory of good over evil. Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal.

The following speakers are confirmed to speak at the event at the Holiday Inn, Regents Park, Carburton Street, London, W1W 5EE
Frances Crook (Howard League for Penal Reform) / Luke Edwards (Reducing Reoffending Portfolio, Ministry of Justice) / Sally Richards (Home Office) The conference will provide an unrivalled opportunity to hear these key voices speak on the same platform to discuss about the best working practices and techniques in helping prisoners rehabilitate with the ultimate aim of reducing crime and diminishing the burden placed on the prison system. The debate about rehabilitating methods is rapidly evolving as more stakeholders express their views. The event on Wednesday will give a fantastic insight into how processes can be implemented to help ensure the offenders stay committed to reoffending reform.

Over the course of the Conference the following topics will be discussed:
• Analysing the response to the Rehabilitation Green Paper
• Reforming the prison experience to support rehabilitation
• The role of ICT in delivering the rehabilitation revolution
• Understanding the impact of budgetary restraints on core frontline services and staff
• Improving prisoner self-esteem

Delegates from across the criminal justice and social service sectors – the police, the prison service, the courts, probation trusts, local authorities, central government departments and agencies, and third sector organisations – will be looking at how best to reduce reoffending.

Venue: Holiday Inn Hotel London-Regent’s Park, Carburton Street, London W1W 5EE
Registration: 08.40 – 09.30
Conference: 09.30 – 16.30

Now, Alison-Madueke’s supporters can watch interviews during her time as Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum Resources through her YouTube and Vimeo channels, as well as keep up-to-date with her appearances through her Flickr account.

Diezani Alison-Madueke was appointed as Minister of Petroleum Resources on 6th April 2010, and as a result, she became the very first female petroleum minister on the continent. Besides this, she was also the only feminine voice amongst the male dominated Organisation of Petroleum-Exporting Countries (OPEC). She wasted no time tackling the countless challenges within the sector.

Despite the recent criticism made against her, Alison-Madueke is promising to continue the reforms which she argues have engendered transparency in the oil and gas sector and denied “rent-seekers” the opportunity to continue “business as usual.”Secretary General of Ohanaeze, Chief Nduka Eya, stated that Alison-Madueke’s efforts within the industry have not only restored confidence in the economy but have also ensured fuel price stability and product availability. He continued to say, “I doff my hat to Madueke for the way and manner she has injected life and restored confidence in the petroleum sector.”

ABUJA, NIGERIA — Whilst Nigeria’s first female oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke faces what seems a coordinated campaign against her, President Goodluck Jonathan is still highly regarding her as a possible name for the next screening of ministerial nominees.

Alison-Madueke was appointed as Minister of Petroleum Resources on April 6, 2010 and is now considered a historic moment in Nigerian politics. Apart from being Nigeria’s first female oil minister, she was also the only feminine voice amongst the male dominated Organisation of Petroleum-Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Alison-Madueke’s appointment to the position came at a time of great challenge as the Federal Government aimed to overhaul the sector to deliver maximum benefit to the nation. Prominent amongst the agenda was the provision of gas for electricity generation, transforming the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and its subsidiaries into profit-making outfits, improve investment in sector, deregulation of the domestic petroleum products market and resolution of youth restiveness in the Niger Delta.

Before being made Minister of Petroleum Resources, Alison-Madueke was appointed Minister of Transportation by Jonathan’s predecessor, President Umaru Yar’Adua. She served in that capacity from July 26, 2007 to December 17, 2008 before moving to the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development from December 23, 2008 to March 17, 2010.

Alison-Madueke came into Yar’Adua’s government in 2007 from her position as an executive director with Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC). Often regarded as a ‘Shell girl’ having grown up with her parents who were employees of the oil company, the minister was armed with enough knowledge and know-how on matters concerning petroleum resources.

A graduate of architecture in England and Howard University in the United States, she worked for some years in the U.S. before returning to Nigeria in 1992 to work for her father’s old employer. She rose to become Shell’s first female director in Nigeria, completing an MBA at Cambridge University along the way.

As petroleum minister, Alison-Madueke got the President’s approval to supervise the NNPC, Department for Petroleum Resource (DPR) and the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA). After the approval was given, she replaced key officials with those she trusted.

In the face of harsh criticism, Alison-Madueke is promising to continue the reforms which she argues has engendered transparency in the oil and gas sector and denied “rent-seekers” the opportunity to continue “business as usual.”

As the date for the announcement of new ministers draws closer, Mrs. Alison-Madueke is putting up a fight as there have been counter-advertorials published in the media by her associates.
