The Future of the Natural Gas Vehicles Market

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:08:00 EST

ROCKVILLE, MD--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of Pike Research's new report "Natural Gas Vehicles," to their collection of Automotive market reports.

Natural Gas Vehicle technology is widely available and has been available for purchase in most regions of the world for decades. Governments, fleet managers, and private consumers are recognizing the environmental benefits of lower emissions from NGVs.

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - Retailers, foodservice chains and consumer product manufacturers should think long and hard before attempting to cast their brand as "green," according to Joseph Bona, president of the retail design division of New York-based strategic branding agency CBX.

"The bottom line is simple enough. If you aim to make green a fundamental part of your brand messaging, do not do so until sustainability truly is written into the company's very DNA, from senior management on down," the veteran store designer wrote in a column titled "Winning over today's greenwash-weary consumers," which appeared in the October issue of retail design publication DDI. "If your efforts are more modest, make sure your marketing is just as low key. And no matter how green your company might be, communicate those efforts with an honest and straightforward transparency. Doing so can deflect criticism and win respect from today's increasingly eco-savvy shoppers."

ROCKVILLE, MD--(Marketwire - November 4, 2009) - MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of just-food's new report "Global Food Commodity Price Volatility Here To Stay - Management Briefing," to their collection of Food market reports.

Food commodity prices are seldom out of the news, due to a mushrooming global population, the food-for-fuel controversy, an increasing focus on sustainability and the continued growth of the organic sector. However, beyond the generality of crop prices spiraling to new highs in 2007 and 2008 and then plummeting -- in some cases -- back to where they were before the boom, the picture is far from uniform. This month's briefing looks at recent trends, projects, likely developments over the next few years and analyses what they mean for the global food-m

Accident Claims Explained

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:00:00 EST

MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwire - Nov. 3, 2009) - Thousands of people each year are involved in accidents which are not their fault. The injuries sustained are often traumatic and in many cases they are severe enough to prevent them from carrying out their usual employment and therefore prevent them from receiving their usual income.

In many cases the person who has been injured may be able to make a claim for loss of earnings and for the pain and suffering they have endured. These claims are known as personal injury claims or sometimes called accident claims. The term refers to a claim associated with an accident in which a third party is responsible for injuries or damage sustained. Their responsibility may be due to negligence or failure to take reasonable care.

Wymoo Beats Forecasts for International Background Checks

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:48:00 EST

JACKSONVILLE, FL--(Marketwire - November 2, 2009) - Wymoo International, a leading background check and global private investigation company, reported today that third quarter results exceeded the firm's forecasted growth in international background check services. The Company is on target to beat expectations for annual growth in its private investigation business.

Third quarter operating results were driven by increased demand for background checks and a rebound in international due diligence cases. The increase in individual client case loads in North America, Europe and Australia more than offset the drop in pre-employment screening from the economic downturn. The strong quarter should enable the firm to achieve a 30% growth rate for 2009, despite the global recession and drop in worldwide hiring.

Anticipated Turnaround of U.S. Economy Marks Gradual Return to Optimism for Nation's Affluent Consumers

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:17:00 EST

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - November 2, 2009) - With the widely anticipated turnaround of the U.S. economy looming, the unbridled pessimism that has afflicted affluent American consumers since the onset of the Great Recession is dwindling. In its place is a sense of gradually returning optimism, according to The Affluent Consumer Market in the U.S., the latest report by leading market research publisher Packaged Facts.

Notably, the study, based on data from Experian Simmons National Consumer Study, reveals that half of affluent consumers have previously claimed to be worse off financially than they were 12 months ago. The aftermath of life in the new economy created a radical shift in the thinking and behavior of affluent consumers, who increasingly favored belt-tightening over extravagance and risk taking.

Resistant Bacteria Bring New Challenges to Anti-Infectives Market

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:08:00 EST

ROCKVILLE, MD--(Marketwire - November 2, 2009) - MarketResearch.com has announced the addition of Kalorama Information's new report "The Worldwide Market for Anti-Infectives (Antifungals, Antibacterials and Antivirals)," to their collection of Healthcare market reports.

Blackburn Adds New Product Line

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 06:10:00 EST

NELIGH, NE--(Marketwire - November 2, 2009) - Blackburn Manufacturing, Inc., the nation's leading provider of temporary markers used in private and public construction, announced today that it has added a complete line of soil markers to complement its existing line of marking flags and paints.

For example, higher profile flags may generate complaints from homeowners objecting to posts planted on or near their property. In some situations, flags also pose a hindrance to mowers as well as construction equipment. Low profile soil markers, on the other hand, are less visible to the casual observer and pose no obstacle to mowers or construction equipment. Soil markers can be used as a stand-alone marking system or in conjunction with flags where they can be placed between posts to further reduce the likelihood of da
