Global Electric Bus Market is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of 28.0% during 2014 to 2020: Persistence Market Research

Electric bus manufacturing is a capital intensive market. Most large automotive companies have not forayed into the market as it is in the nascent phase. Funding from external investors is one of the key reasons for the growth of electric bus market.

According to a new market report published by Persistence Market Research “Global Market Study on Electric Bus: Asia Pacific to Witness Highest Growth by 2020”, the global electric bus market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28.0% during 2014 to 2020, to reach an estimated volume sales of 33,854 units by 2020.

Governments of various countries are focusing on no or low-pollution transportation systems to tackle rising pollution. This, in turn, is driving the electric bus market. Based on drive system, electric buses are categorized as pure electric, hybrid electric, and plug-in hybrid. Most of the electric buses running worldwide are hybrid electric due to their low cost as compared to its other electric counterparts. However, developed countries are focusing on increasing the number of pure electric buses in their fleets.

The global electric bus market is thriving mainly due to growing environmental concerns of the public and various governments. However, among developing countries, China is the only country taking concrete steps to curb vehicular pollution with the introduction of large number of electric buses. A high cost of electric buses is a key barrier for this industry. However, unstable crude oil prices and increasing focus of the transit agencies on minimizing operational costs are expected to lower the impact of the cost factor in the long term. In recent times, certain product launches by companies indicate the increasing level of competition in the industry. The investments of companies and transit agencies are being backed by funding from venture capitalists and governments. This is favoring the growth of electric bus market.

Unstable fuel prices and depleting crude oil reserves are influencing transport departments and transit agencies globally to increase the number of alternate and new energy vehicles. Some of the transit agencies in developed countries are considering long-term benefits as opposed to short-term costs while purchasing buses. Electric buses require high initial investment. However, their operational cost is significantly low as compared to that of conventional buses, as electricity is cheaper than diesel.

Air pollution caused by vehicles has been emerging as a serious concern for governments across the globe. This, in turn, is driving demand for public transport facilities with lower emissions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution causes about 100,000 deaths every year in Europe, reducing life expectancy by an average of one year. Considering the negative impact of pollution on people, governments around the world are working to find solutions to reduce pollution levels. European countries such as France, the U.K., and Germany are emerging as key markets for electric and hybrid electric vehicles.

Paul Chehade – Healthcare is one of the top social and economic problems facing Americans today.

Paul Chehade – Healthcare is one of the top social and economic problems facing Americans today.

In the global context the United States is one of the world’s only developed nations that does not guarantee universal health coverage for its citizens.

I have a simple question for all United States citizens: Should All Americans Have the Right to Health Care?

The answer is Yes. No one in the richest nation on Earth should go without health care, because that improves public health, reducing the overall health care spending, that should be, in fact, an essential government service.

Most Americans would agree that health care reform needs to happen, but the disagreement is on how a new health care system should be structured and funded.

The bigest problem to the people when need health services are the fees. The majority of health care systems in the U.S. run on a fee-for-service basis. That means every doctor encounter, diagnostic test and/or medication expense is billed separately. A coding system is used to classify each service to a different cost level. Then the items are tallied by code and result in the final medical bill.

A criticism of the fee-for-service model is that since physicians and hospitals make a cut of each charge, they are motivated to perform more services. This cause that more tests and services are ordered than it may be needed, increasing the charges to health insurance and patients.

Here are some reasons why American Health Care Is so bad:

1.- Hospital mistakes and infections are still one of the leading causes of preventable death,

2.- We spend the most. We spend more than any other country in the world.

3.- We don’t pay doctors according to the quality of their care. One of the first questions is “percent of primary care practices with financial incentives for quality”

4.- Doctors don’t have time to listen to their patient anymore. Instead they have to spend their time filling out unnecessary papers and documenting rather than examining more in detail their patient, I order to get a small fraction of payment for their services and practicing defensive medicine in order to avoid lawsuits.

5.- Food deserts the USDA still estimates 23.5 million people live in these urban neighborhoods and rural towns with limited access to fresh, affordable, healthy food. Without grocery stores in these areas, residents often have to rely on fast food and convenience stores that don’t stock fresh products.

6.- Technology has made do-it-yourself patient care much easier. This goes beyond just a patient’s ability to look up their symptoms online.

The government’s job is to provide security and infrastructure that promotes individual’s rights to life, liberty and happiness including education and health care and is it very sad to say that being the U.S.A one of the world’s biggest countries, the health care system quality is declining so quickly.

God bless America

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Tickets: Ticket Down Slashes Ticket Prices for Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, May 2, 2015

Ticket Down has cut ticket prices across the board for the upcoming fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas. This trusted ticket site is offering their customer appreciation promo/coupon code MAYWEATHER-PACQUIAO-2015 for added savings.

Ticket Down is a reputable source of authentic tickets for the historic fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao on Saturday, May 2nd. Tickets for the actual fight are available along with tickets for the pre-fight weigh-in, hospitality packages and closed circuit television passes.

The boxing world is just days away from getting the fight they have wanted for close to a decade. On May 2, the MGM Grand Garden Arena will be the site of the blockbuster fight between two of the best fighters of this generation, the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather has long been considered the best fighter in the world, but by failing to step inside the ring with Pacquiao when fans wanted the fight seven years ago, some wondered if the Filipino native would be the first to put a loss on his record. Fans will no longer need to wonder!

Mayweather is the reigning WBC, WBA, and Ring welterweight champion and is also the WBC Super, WBA, and Ring middleweight champion. He has widely been considered the pound for pound best fighter in the world and has two of the fastest hands the sport has ever seen, which he has made known in most of his fights. He will come into this fight with Pacquiao with a 47-0 record including 26 wins that have come by way of knockout. He has won his last five fights via decision and his last knockout win came in September 2011 when he beat Victor Ortiz.

Pacquiao will be coming into this fight with a 57-5-2 record and is the winner of his last three fights. In 2012, many felt that Pacquiao was a win away from convincing Mayweather to step inside the ring with him. He was set to fight Timothy Bradley and suffered the greatest judging catastrophe of all time, losing a split decision and his WBO welterweight title. He would regain that title in April 2014 after avenging the loss to Bradley in Las Vegas.

While both men will enter this fight with world titles on the line, just one can walk away wearing all the gold. Mayweather will be defending his WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring welterweight titles, while Pacquiao will put his WBO welterweight title on the line. Ask any fan of combat sports about the titles and they will tell you that this fight is more than about titles, it is about being known as the best fighter in the world and the best fighter of this era. It is going to end up as the biggest payday in career of both fighters, but it is about pride.

These two men will compete at the epicenter of many combat sporting events throughout the boxing and mixed martial arts communities. The venue can seat 16,800 fans and will be packed with fans of both fighters that will be looking to see history made. The MGM Grand Garden Arena opened originally in 1993 and has been the site of hundreds of memorable events and in the boxing world, has seen some of the greatest fighters of all time compete in the center of the venue. Mayweather has actually fought his last 10 fights here, while Pacquiao has also competed here in five of his last seven fights.

April 28, 2015 – – Cestari Kitchen has announced that its multifunctional vegetable peeler can be used to make vegetable noodles, such as zucchini noodles. It was pointed out that with the said advanced ceramic vegetable peeler there is no longer any need to get a specialized device, such as a spiralizer, when people need vegetable noodles for their cooking. As always, Cestari Kitchen has made a full commitment to quality and precision.

“At Cestari Kitchen, we want to make sure people can make restaurant quality food with great ease,” says Susan MacDowell. “Our tools are made to last and very easy to use and the Cestari Kitchen vegetable peeler is one of our most versatile tools yet.”

Those who want to make zucchini noodles tend to purchase specialized devices or spiralizers. Now, there is no longer any need buy such devices, as the Cestari Kitchen vegetable peeler can do all that and more. It allows people to peel their vegetables and to also to get creative and make beautifully shaped noodles and more. For example, the vegetable peeler can be used to prepare zucchini noodles. This can be done by passing the peeler down the side of the zucchini, lengthwise. It is important to make sure that only a thin portion of the vegetable is caught in each pass. THis can be accomplished by slicing the zucchin lengthwise before using the peeler to prepare the noodles. The thickness should not be more than 0.5 inch or 1.25 cm to ensure thin zucchini noodles are produced.

When people eat food, they tend to get a great deal of enjoyment due to the way it looks as well. Presentation is key, after all. With the vegetable peeler, it is easy to achieve this. The peeler has all the standard quality control elements that Cestari Kitchen is famous for.

“As always, it comes with a fully ceramic blade,” adds Susan MacDowell. “This means that it is harder than steel itself. Additionally, we have ensured the the peeler is fully ergonomic and comfortable to hold thanks to the rubberized handle. One of the elements we are truly proud of is that it is fully injection molded. This means that there are no seams for bacteria to collect in, leaving food hygienic and safe to eat at all times.”

The peeler has a reversible blade, which means it can be used by right and left handed people equally. Furthermore, it has an angled tip, with which blemishes like potato eyes can easily be removed. Some people are now even using the said angled tip to make interesting looking foods as well. Finally, the peeler is calibrated in such a way that it only removes the peel itself, reducing wastage and ensuring people can eat as much of the vegetable as possible.

Making zucchini noodles is a breeze with the vegetable peeler shown on the Amazon page, http://www.amazon.com/Vegetable-Peeler These types of noodles are highly popular with a variety of audiences. Those who are throwing a dinner party often use them to decorate the plate and create an interesting meal. It is also used by parents who want to encourage their children to try something new.

“American Heritage Collection” Premium Men’s Accessories on Kickstarter

Odesa, UA – On March 24 2015, “AGE” LLC launched a Kickstarter campaign for “American Heritage Collection”, a new line of premium men’s accessories. The company’s goal is to create high quality products that are meant to last a lifetime.

“Being inspired by America in the beginning of the 20th century we made an accessories collection called ‘American Heritage’,” says the team, “Colour-grade, materials and conception of the collection reflect the mood and values of that time. It is possible to progress in the future only by relying on strong traditions of the past.”

The “American Heritage” Collection offers a number of premium men’s accessories, including premium bracelets, wooden bow-ties, and genuine leather suspenders that work together to create a complete men’s style. The team has already surpassed their $8,000 goal and reached their first stretch goal of $11,000, unlocking premium leather wallets. If their two remaining stretch goals are reached they will introduce new bowtie and suspender styles.

“Kickstarter is not simply a crowdfunding platform, it is a place where great ideas become reality thanks to people, who believed in them and wanted to take part in a new story,” the team explains, “During the three years of our company development, we realized how important it is to have like-minded people. Now we need you to join us in achieving this dream. That’s why we are here.”

In exchange for pledging to the project, backers can gain access to a variety of rewards including a premium bracelet with anchor or hook for as little as $39, a premium wallet of Italian leather for $49, premium wooden bowties from $54, and leather suspenders starting at the early bird price of $69. Backers can also receive a Super Set with all three accessories for a pledge of $169, and more!
