(PRBuzz.com) August 30, 2013 -- The commercial motor insurance market remains unprofitable and under pressure to see through sufficient rate increases. Reported year COR for the line presented a better picture in 2012, reflected in improving operating ratios for eight of the top 10 insurers. However, reserve releases played a significant role in this, with underlying market performance found to be slightly weaker than in 2011.

Scope of this Report

* Gauge the performance of the top commercial motor insurers by GWP growth and market share across fleet and non-fleet segments.
* Gain insight into which market players have achieved sustainable growth, with analysis of combined, loss, commission, and management cost ratios.
* See which insurers were the most selected provider for commercial motor insurance by surveyed brokers and SME businesses.

Report Highlights

A majority of the commercial motor insurance market's top 10 competitors by GWP were unable to achieve CORs below 100% in 2012. Only Direct Line Group (with a COR of 61.9%) and Allianz (80.6%) succeeded in this task.

Direct Line Group continues to lag in comparison to the top 10 on expense ratio, which in 2012 remained the highest among this group at 36.7%.

Allianz continued to improve COR figures with reserve releases in 2012, but this bolstered a fundamentally profitable book, with underwriting profit increasing.

This highlights the pent up demand for seasonal goods among British consumers due to their being little opportunity to spend time in their garden over the past 12 months.

GZA GeoEnvironmental recognized for its contributions toward environmental energy award from the Environmental Business Council of New England

NORWOOD MA (PRBuzz.com) August 30, 2013 -- GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc., a leading environmental and geotechnical consulting firm, proudly announces that it was recognized for its contributions to the project team and as a technical assistance provider to Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH) on the award winning Clean Air Project for the Merrimack Station generating facility.

PSNH received the "Outstanding Environmental Energy Technology Award" from the Environmental Business Council of New England on June 12th in Boston for its participation in the Merrimack Station Clean Air Project.

Ronald Breton, P.E. and a Senior Principal of GZA, participated in the ceremony on behalf of the firm.

"It is an honor to be recognized by PSNH and the Environmental Business Council of New England for our participation in the Merrimack Station Clean Air Project," said William Hadge President and CEO of GZA GeoEnvironmental, Inc.

(PRBuzz.com) August 30, 2013 -- J.G.M. Properties, Inc. (a Minneapolis commercial real estate property management company) reveals why leasing temporary office space might be the smartest decision businesses and startups can make.

Businesses that aren't quite developed enough to sign a long-term lease can think of leasing temporary office space on a monthly basis. These fully furnished office buildings come with individual desks or office space that include conference rooms with HD audiovisual systems and the latest techno-wizardry including, but not limited to ultra-high-speed Internet connections.

Instead of buying everything they need (desks, chairs, phones, computers, copy machines -- the list is endless) to furnish their office, businesses can lease it. Most equipment leases don't require a down payment, so they can get lots of equipment without crimping their cash flow. Leasing also lets them trade in equipment every few years for the latest and greatest models, ensuring that they're always up to date.

An uncertain economy has its own advantages. One of the biggest upsides is the availability of plenty of empty and temporary office space. More often than not, these spaces belong to companies that are in the process of downsizing, but still have a few years left on their lease. By subletting from the stressed company, savvy business owners can make the most of this opportunity to get prime real estate for cheap.

Temporary office space is ideal for businesses that require a lot of time on the phone, need conference room use on a regular basis, and have privacy requirements. The space also comes with amenities available at no additional cost such as shared conference rooms, shared kitchens or break rooms, and a shared reception area.

Owners are offering entrepreneurs, independents, and small businesses, affordable and flexible lease terms for temporary office space. The asking rent will generally depend on the amount of space needed.

J.G.M. Properties, Inc. a small, family owned, commercial management company currently located in Bloomington, MN has presented their insights into the benefits of leasing temporary office space. JGM's primary focus has been on temporary Minneapolis commercial space for rent JGM can help. Call Eli at 612-290-1037.

(PRBuzz.com) August 30, 2013 -- BizTechReports (www.biztechreports.com), an independent reporting agency that covers the technology research community, has just released an executive summary of leading analyst findings on the Business Intelligence and Analytics markets.

According to the summary, there is plenty of buzz about exponential growth in business intelligence (BI) and analytics space. However, unlike some IT trends that are embryonic enough to be one part business case and nine parts vaporware, BI and analytics are mission-critical solutions to the nearly universal challenges posed by Big Data.

Leading IT analysts that have recently weighed in on the BI and analytics opportunities report the following key findings:

* Talent gaps and lack of knowledge base in the analytics space will continue to force businesses to rely on service providers to fulfill their business analytics needs in the near future. - IDC

* By 2016, 70 percent of leading BI vendors will have incorporated natural-language and spoken-word capabilities. - Gartner

* Lack of IT expertise and increasing employee mobility is forcing BI vendors to use new and innovative ways of delivering business analytics. - MarketsandMarkets

(PRBuzz.com) August 30, 2013 -- HealthGAINS is one of the leading providers of hormone replacement therapy in the US and they have launched a revamped and updated website. This website provides their clients with a treasure trove of information on the various therapies they offer, arming them with all the knowledge they need in order to make an informed decision before undergoing treatment.

HealthGAINS is run by Dr. Richard Gaines, a Harvard educated expert on hormone replacement therapy. The facility specializes in helping those who suffer from a wide range of symptoms associated with hormone deficiency, such as fatigue, depression, weight gain, joint pains and low sex drive. Many of these symptoms of age-related hormonal decline can be easy treated and even reversed through the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Unfortunately, however, there are many less-than-reputable clinics out there that offer these treatments, many of whom are doing so without the correct qualifications or proper medical training. Some don't even have doctors working in their clinics! This can have devastating effects on patients for whom HRT may not be the best cure for their symptoms. Dr. Gaines on the other hand will only treat patients who have a genuine need for the treatments the HealthGAINS clinic offers, and only after a thorough consultation. And although there are other clinics operating in the US that offer a similar service to HealthGAINS, these are usually very expensive. HealthGAINS, however, pride themselves on offering the best treatment at affordable prices.

Dr. Gaines says "It's most important to me to see my patients thriving in their hormone therapy programs. At HealthGAINS, the care and follow up with our patients is our number one priority. We believe that patients should have access to hormone replacement therapy and that income should not be a restriction."
Patients who maybe suffering from the symptoms of andropause or menopause are encouraged to explore the new website, and read through the wealth of information it contains before booking themselves in for a consultation at the health and wellness facility. The in-depth FAQ page and blogs will provide clients with all the information about Hormone Replacement Therapy, Human Growth Hormone Therapy and Testosterone Replacement Therapy they need to be able to get the most out of their consultation.

Once clients have educated themselves on the benefits of HRT, there is a form on the new website that allows them to arrange an appointment at HealthGAINS Florida based clinic. The clinic itself offers patients a relaxed 'spa-like' environment ensuring clients are as comfortable as possible during their stay. They even offer a travel concierge service to any patients who are visiting from out of state. HealthGAINS arranges all transport to and from their facility for patients traveling from within the continental United States. Patients can even chose to have a same day service, being flown to the clinic, treated and flown back home in one day, or they can extend their stay and take in some of the Florida sunshine.

(PRBuzz.com) August 30, 2013 -- Kigali, Rwanda - Forestry and Agricultural Investment Management, USA, LLC, (FAIM) receives loan from Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), the U.S. government's development finance institution.

Based in Kigali since 2010, FAIM grows virus-free plants such as banana varieties, passion fruit, tamarillos and pineapple. With the recent OPIC funding, the company will expand their operation with new tissue culture laboratories to further production of their mainstay plants as well as starting production on new plant varieties like potatoes and strawberry plants.

FAIM, CEO, Steven Jones, notes, "This program to help the African farmer was developed about 6 years ago by my wife, Cheryl and I, after a trip on a USDA Trade Missions to Madagascar and South Africa. There wasn't anything that our nursery in Tennessee could offer these people that would make their lives better. So, we developed a program that would help to solve many of the problems that the African farmer is experiencing with their crops beginning with clean healthy plants. It took years of tweaking, locating the right social investors, being awarded a grant from AECF (African Enterprise Challenge Fund) to help get our project off to a good start, but, here we are now 3 years in Rwanda and growing once again with OPIC financing."

According to Jones, the FAIM program began in Rwanda one of the most densely populated countries in Africa yet lacking in food security. The banana and pineapple production, alone, in Rwanda has seriously declined in the past few decades leaving the country to import much of the produce. Providing the Rwandan farmers with healthy plants, extension services and FAIM's own Farm School, they now have the opportunity to successfully grow quality produce to sell in local markets as well as through other distribution networks.

FAIM grows plants for food security farming for farmers in Rwanda and other sub-Saharan African countries, Middle East and Asia.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (PRBuzz.com) August 30, 2013 -- The new fashion social decision app showing signs of addiction across the nation.

Following Pinxter's launch last month, fashionistas across the nation are showing growing addiction to the app, with over 15,000 users and an average visit time of over 1 minute per session and gaining on over 5 million votes. Magazines like Fashion Affair and Fab Five Style showcased the app and Twitter enthusiasts have voiced their addiction as well.

The app primarily has a female fan base, with about 81% female Pinxters, and 19% male Pinxters. The age groups vary from high school teens to young adults. Pinxter is adding features in the near future to filter through different age appropriate clothing and brands as well as searching for your favorite tags.

The first phase of the app allowed users to upload pictures of their outfits and gain immediate YES or NO votes on their outfit, in addition to collecting pink diamonds to promote their pictures. The average user gains hundreds of votes, helping them decide what to wear. From prom dresses, night-on-the-town outfits, "meet the family" dress code, to their wedding dress, Pinxters are helping each other in day-to-day fashion decisions. In fact, the app was opened more than 7,500 times in the first week alone.

The second phase has been released and offers users the opportunity to search their favorite brands and hashtags, and also rate specific brands. In addition, a leaderboard has been created to highlight fashion feats, allowing users the ability to search and filter results by brand and region in order to find the trendiest fashion do's of the moment in their town.

The third phase of the app scheduled to be released in mid to late September will bring it to the next level by debuting profiles and news feeds, akin to other social media sites, like Facebook. Users will be able to share photos with friends on other social networks, including Facebook and Instagram, and also via text message. On profile pages, users will be able to follow their favorite Pinxters, view search and voting history and see all uploaded photos on one central page. The addictive feature of Pinxter will no doubt grow even more with these user-friendly and well-known features.

Also in this phase, users will be able to choose whether to share a photo with the entire Pinxter community, or just a select group of friends, or Pinxters. Pinxter will implement even more leaderboards, and showcase VIP showrooms, with top global brands, the hottest looks, and the trendiest fashionistas worldwide.

Recently, Pinxter added Brand Fan Pages based on the response for these specific brands such as Urban Outfitters, Toms, Bumble & Bumble, Bed Head, Vineyard Vines, Black Milk Clothing, Dr Martins, Converse, Urban Decay, Tarte, Melville, and Under Armour. Major partnerships are on the horizon with Pinxter with various brands, models and fashionistas.

Pinxter is the brainchild of Sergei Dubograev and Dmitry Semiryazhko. Prior to Pinxter, Semiryazhko launched two number-one-ranked applications in the European market, including Greeting Cards on the Wall and Guess the Melody. Collectively, the two apps acquired over 21 million users, making them the leading apps on the Russian iTunes apps market.

Pinxter is backed by an investor group led by Cal Simmons, author of "Every Business Needs an Angel," published by Random House, 2001 and head of the D.C. chapter of Tiger 21, an exclusive "club" for angel investors. Additional investors include Mary Naylor, CEO of Aspire Lifestyles, Sally Hurley, president of Aspire Lifestyles, Brad Nierenberg, CEO of RedPeg Marketing, Andrea Keating, CEO of Crews Control, and Mark Teitelbaum, angel investor and first vice president with CBRE.
