Breaking News! Industry Veteran Nick Bello joins LifeVantage

Leave a comment

Nick Bello of LaPorte, Indiana has built home based businesses for over 16 years and he is now calling LifeVantage his home.

LaPorte, IN, September 19, 2013 – Nick Bello of LaPorte, Indiana has built home based businesses for over 16 years. He recently resigned from his former company to partner with LifeVantage. After 16 years of helping people build successful home based businesses in all 50 states and 18 different countries, Nick Bello is excited about the LifeVantage products and the timing of the company. Committed to the industry and his team, Nick Bello has not only been a distributor, but a top income earner, master-distributor, and corporate officer for companies where he had the opportunity to develop compensation plans, marketing platforms, training systems and share the stage with some of the top names in the industry. Nick Bello is confident that LifeVantage gives the average person a real shot at success.

Although not every year was as successful as others for Nick Bello in the network marketing industry, he felt like this industry was his opportunity to not only do something great for himself and his family, but help others as well. Nick Bello has had tremendous support from his wife which he calls “His Foundation.” “When I started in this industry at 22 years old, I had so many people tell me it wouldn’t work. I was living in a 2 bedroom apartment, driving a rusted 1983 Cutlass” states Nick. His journey through the years has changed his lifestyle dramatically. Still living in LaPorte, Indiana, Nick Bello as well as his wife and three daughters now enjoy a large home and luxury vehicles. More so than what Nick Bello has accomplished, he is proud of the lives he has impacted in a positive way through his journey.

Nick Bello has always helped people in the network marketing industry even if they were not in his team, or not even in his company. Several people mention that they work with Nick Bello today because of his interest in helping them become successful when he had no financial gain to do so. It is his values that make Nick Bello the person that he is. He puts his faith in God to lead him in the right direction.

By joining LifeVantage, Nick Bello feels like he has an opportunity to help people with their health and finances. “Make no mistake about it, long term success in a home based business is directly related to the retention rate of the company” states Nick. “With a product like Protandim that has been proven by science through 15 different peer-reviewed studies, when people start taking the product, they keep taking it, and it is very affordable.” You can see the ABC Primetime special at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VkSsNsl7EQ.

LifeVantage was the second fastest growing company in the Direct Sales industry in 2012 growing by 167% over 2011 sales. Nick states, “LifeVantage has grown at an amazing rate with no hype. It is the best kept secret in the industry.” When you look at the medical issues sweeping across the world, it is no wonder why Nick Bello is teaming up with LifeVantage. Taking the LifeVantage products have been proven to lower the oxidative stress in the body and oxidative stress is not only linked to aging, but many diseases. “With a product that works as well as the LifeVantage products, we are able to help people with their health and help people make secondary or primary incomes, and the Jeep program is pretty sweet too” states Nick Bello.

NanoMarkets Announces Release of New Report, “Worldwide Medical Polymer Markets 2013-2020”

Leave a comment

The report titled, “Worldwide Medical Polymer Markets 2013-2020” identifies the current and future opportunities in the medical polymers space and provides guidance on the technical and regulatory framework in which these opportunities are arising.

Glen Allen, Virginia (September 19, 2013) — According to a new report from industry analyst firm NanoMarkets, the global medical polymer market will grow from $2.3 billion (USD) in 2013 to over $3.5 billion in 2018. The report titled, “Worldwide Medical Polymer Markets 2013-2020” identifies the current and future opportunities in the medical polymers space and provides guidance on the technical and regulatory framework in which these opportunities are arising.

The report also includes granular eight-year forecasts and an analysis of the complete supply chain for medical polymers. Firms addressed within the report include, Bayer MaterialScience, Celanese, Dow Corning, Dow Chemical, DSM, DuPont, Eastman Chemical, Evonik, Solvay and others.

Details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/worldwide_medical_polymer_markets_2013_2020.

From the Report:

Implants currently consume about half the medical polymers produced and are expected to account for around $1.6 billion in polymer sales by 2018. Polymers have been penetrating the implant market because they are lower cost and lighter weight than metal alternatives, such as titanium. The report also indicates that increased use of medical imaging is creating further demand for polymers.

According to the new NanoMarkets report, sales of polymers for diagnostic systems will reach $1.04 billion in 2018. In vitro diagnostics account for 50,000 to 60,000 metric tons of specialized and commodity plastics every year. Most diagnostic procedures today are rapid, multi-assays, and plastics have become indispensable. The growth prospects in this sector are thus particularly strong.

The report claims that PMMA, PS/styrenics, and PP are the leading medical polymers based on revenue accounting for around 26 percent of the market in 2013. There are also some high-value niches appearing in the market. Commercial elastomers that provide a “soft touch” are being used to coat accessories, such as catheters, gloves, and syringes, in order to impart a soft touch feel. Their use is expected to grow in intravenous drug delivery systems, cardio systems, and blood collection devices.

The last decade has seen the rise of biodegradable polymers. The current trend suggests that in the near future, entire prostheses will be developed from these materials. While they will not be used to manufacture diagnostic products, biodegradable polymers will be incorporated into implants and some clinical labware. There is some additional interest in discovering new biodegradable polymers for medical applications, but investment in this area is limited due to the need to complete extensive long-term studies in order to validate new materials.

About the Report:

This new report provides the necessary strategic insight into how the polymer industry can best generate new business revenues in medical applications and where the medical device industry can expect polymer materials to make their greatest impact. This report which polymers are likely to do best in the medical environment. This study also contains detailed eight-year forecasts in volume (Kg) and value terms.

Readers of this report will gain the following:

• An analytical review of polymers used for medical applications, including developing implants, diagnostic systems, and hospital labware.

• Knowledge on current technical and market trends, including general market drivers for improvement in the healthcare sector, polymer production, and evaluation for clinical approval.

• An understanding of key medical products and their future implications.

• A pin-pointed analysis of the changing dynamics of polymer producers.

• Eight–year forecasts based on expected market growth.

• A brief technological road map for understanding industry growth.

Greenwood Biosar To Install Five Santerno PV Inverters at New Romanian Solar Power Installation

Leave a comment

New Contract for Delivery of Five Santerno TG760 1000V Solar Power Inverters Expands Santerno Penetration Into Eastern Europe with New 5 MW Photovoltaic System.

San Francisco (September 18, 2013) — Santerno, the Carraro Group company that specializes in alternative energy electronics and industrial automation, has signed an agreement with Greenwood Biosar, the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) division of Greenwood Energy, to deliver five Santerno TG760 1000V solar inverters for installation at a new solar project in Calarasi, Romania. The PC inverters will deliver nearly 5 MW of solar power. This contract also increases Santerno’s market footprint in Eastern Europe; in the first six months of 2013 Santerno has installed photovoltaic (PV) inverters that deliver 35 MW of power in Romania and 40 MW of power in Greece.

According to company estimates, these five Santerno TG760 inverters will deliver a total output of 4998.245 kWp, or an estimated 6,739 MW hours per year. Santerno’s TG solar inverters are manufactured in Italy for use in media and large utility-scale PV systems. These best-in-class outdoor inverters are designed to deliver maximum yield for the lowest cost, and have all the grid code integrated features needed for compliance with advanced European and global power standards, including LVRT (low-voltage ride through), Reactive Power Control, Frequency and Voltage controls. The Santerno inverters are designed for optimal performance in harsh environments with a long meantime between failure.

“Greenwood Biosar has already seen the value of our solar inverter technology in their Vermont utility-scale PV installation and in a number of installations in Greece,” said Marco Tecchio, Chief Executive Officer of Santerno. “Our TG760 is ideally suited for the new Romanian installation, since the climate is moderate and there is nominal rainfall. The TG760 has performed flawlessly in harsher environments and we expect these inverters will be in service for years to come.”

All of Santerno’s solar power inverters feature a modular design for easy inspection and repair. Remote monitoring via the Web also is supported using the Santerno online monitoring system, which can be used to manage single-device or multi-inverter installations. Santerno uses an innovative satellite linking system so even if a local Internet connection is unavailable, a satellite link connects the PV system to the Web-based Santerno Portal monitoring system no matter what the location or terrain. Santerno’s inverters also have embedded Utility Interactive Features that are software controlled and completely configurable based on the appropriate grid code.

Santerno continues to expand into PV global markets with new contracts signed recently in South Africa and the United States as well as Eastern Europe.

About Santerno
Headquartered in Imola, Italy, with offices in San Francisco and around the globe, Santerno designs and markets solar inverters and products used to produce electricity from renewable sources. Since 2006 the company has been part of the Carraro Group, a multinational company specializing in power transmission systems with engineering and production operations in 16 countries.

Less than a month after trading incidents generated by Everbright Securities, China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange has taken a step forward in its plan to open up its capital account and internationalize its currency with a trial program that allows foreign hedge funds to raise money denominated in yuan for overseas investment. Each of six hedge funds will be allowed to raise up to $50 million worth of yuan in China, according to people familiar with the situation.

While the trial program is minuscule in comparison with a similar program set up in 2006 for domestic investors, Mr. Perez will focus on the significance as a move toward full convertibility of the Chinese currency, which the country’s leadership has pledged as part of efforts to move away from a command economy. China’s regulators approved the pilot-program launch in Shanghai, with six firms-Oaktree Capital Management, Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, Winton Capital Management, Man Group, Citadel and Canyon Partners-getting the go-ahead.

China’s journey in the last decades has been nothing short of extraordinary. Hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty while hundreds of millions more have joined the new middle class. Furthermore, a new generation of billionaires is recreating capitalism both inside and outside the mainland. China’s global influence is expanding and within a decade its economy is expected to overtake America’s.

As China’s importance in the world economy has grown, investors’ appetite in venture capital, private equity and capital and real estate markets remains is potentially growing. However, significant challenges persist. Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has said that the Chinese government is “going to have to build up bigger equity markets inside China to create the securities that pools of capital need to have.”

The Chinese government is committed to rebalancing the country’s economy because their capital-intensive, export-oriented approach is delivering diminishing returns and threatens to become a major political vulnerability for the government. Now there’s more than economic growth though; President Jinping is promoting the new “Chinese dream”, one that relies on the rule of law and focuses on raising living standards for hundreds of millions more who still mired in poverty.
