TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Economic activity in the hospital subsector grew in December for the seventh consecutive month, say the nation’s hospital supply executives in the latest Hospital ISM® Report On Business®.

The report was issued today by Nancy LeMaster, MBA, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management® (ISM®) Hospital Business Survey Committee: «The Hospital PMI™ registered 62.6 percent in December, unchanged from November. This was the seventh month of growth following two months of contraction. The Business Activity, New Orders, and Backlog of Orders indexes grew in December, while the Employment Index contracted. The Case Mix Index decreased to 62 percent, down 0.5 percentage point compared to the November reading of 62.5 percent. The Days Payable Outstanding Index increased to 52.5 percent, up 1.5 percentage points from the November reading of 51 percent. The Technology Spend Index registered 52 percent, a decrease of 6 percentage points from the November reading of 58 percent.

«December comments from Business Survey Committee panelists echoed and reinforced the same issues highlighted in November. COVID-19 spikes account for most of patient volumes, and elective procedures are once again being delayed due to lack of capacity. Availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) continues to be a challenge, but staffing has become an even bigger issue. Such comments as, ‘Having a difficult time finding employees, especially environmental services department (EVS) and other support staff’ and ‘COVID-19 burnout is causing vacancies across the system’ were typical,» says LeMaster.

About This Report
The information compiled in this report is for the month of December 2020.

The data presented herein is obtained from a survey of hospital supply executives based on information they have collected within their respective organizations. ISM® makes no representation, other than that stated within this release, regarding the individual company data collection procedures. The data should be compared to all other economic data sources when used in decision-making.

Data and Method of Presentation
The Hospital ISM® Report On Business® is based on data compiled from hospital purchasing and supply executives nationwide. Survey responses reflect the change, if any, in the current month compared to the previous month. For each of the indicators measured (Business Activity, New Orders, Employment, Supplier Deliveries, Inventories, Prices, Prices: Pharmaceuticals, Prices: Supplies, Backlog of Orders, New Export Orders, Imports, Inventory Sentiment, Case Mix, Days Payable Outstanding, Technology Spend, and Touchless Orders), this report shows the percentage reporting each response and the diffusion index. Responses represent raw data and are never changed.

The Hospital PMI is a composite index computed from the following, equally weighted indexes: Business Activity, New Orders, Employment and Supplier Deliveries. Diffusion indexes have the properties of leading indicators and are convenient summary measures showing the prevailing direction of change and the scope of change. A Hospital PMI index reading above 50 percent indicates that the hospital sub-sector is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally declining. For the sub-indexes, except Supplier Deliveries, an index reading above 50 percent indicates that the sub-index is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting. A Supplier Deliveries Index above 50 percent indicates slower deliveries and below 50 percent indicates faster deliveries.

The Hospital ISM® Report On Business® survey is sent out to the Hospital Business Survey Committee respondents the first part of each month. Respondents are asked to ONLY report on U.S. operations for the current month. ISM® receives survey responses throughout most of any given month, with the majority of respondents generally waiting until late in the month to submit responses to give the most accurate picture of current business activity. ISM® then compiles the report for release on the fifth business day of the following month.

MIAMI, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In 2020, The Jills Zeder Group exceeded $1 billion* in sales, becoming one of the first real estate teams in the nation to reach this milestone in just one year, according to REAL Trends data for non-team owned brokerages from 2015–2019. This…

MIAMI, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — In 2020, The Jills Zeder Group exceeded $1 billion* in sales, becoming one of the first real estate teams in the nation to reach this milestone in just one year, according to REAL Trends data for non-team owned brokerages from 2015–2019. This extraordinary achievement breaks all of The Jills Zeder Group’s records and solidifies its position as the foremost expert in South Florida luxury real estate. The Jills Zeder Group sold over 180 transaction sides and listed more than 160 properties, including both single family homes and condominiums, in 2020. The Jills Zeder Group is affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty in Florida and the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury International Luxury Alliance.

The overall state of the housing market in 2020 led to a mass exodus of buyers from big cities across the U.S. to South Florida, and The Jills Zeder Group elevated its services to lead the movement to work with these clients, both locally and remotely. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic leading to uncertainty in international transactions and a housing shortage in Southeast Florida, The Jills Zeder Group thrived in 2020. They harnessed a hot, rebounding real estate market to assist urbanites experiencing lockdown orders who were looking to relocate to South Florida.

Members of The Jills Zeder Group continue to close many high-profile deals and utilize their impressive marketing approach and technology to close deals on a fully remote basis when needed.  Some of The Jills Zeder Group’s impressive sales throughout 2020 included stunning properties in Indian Creek Island, Gables Estates, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Cocoplum, Snapper Creek, Hammock Lakes, Ponce Davis, Pinecrest, Miami Beach, Fisher Island, Star Island, La Gorce Island, Sunset Islands, and Palm Beach.

In June 2020, the REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Professionals report recognized The Jills Zeder Group as the No. 1 large team in Miami, No. 1 team in Florida and the South, and No. 2 large team in the U.S., based on 2019 sales volume. This was based on The Jills Zeder Group achieving $644,315,108** in closed sales volume / 148.30 closed transaction sides in 2019, within the «Teams of 11+» category.

The Jills Zeder Group, a powerhouse team of real estate experts, continued to expand in 2020 and unveiled a sleek rebrand, mirroring the group’s evolution and standing as the leader in Miami-Dade luxury real estate. The new green and white logo featuring three palm trees represents The Jills Zeder Group’s three families: Jill Hertzberg and her children Danny Hertzberg and Hillary Hertzberg, sisters Jill Eber and Felise Eber, and Judy Zeder and her children Nathan Zeder and Kara Zeder Rosen.

This report presents the analysis of the Global Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Market for the historical period of 2015-2019 and the forecast period of 2020-2025.

According to the research report, the Global Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) market was valued at USD 38 trillion assets under management (AUM) in the year 2019 with Europe leading the regional market share. ESG is witnessing faster growth in most of the regions, with Europe showing signs of maturity, but ESG will account for a major share of the global AUM.

With the growing focus on social responsibility globally, many investment management companies are including environmental, social, and governance aspects in their decision-making, aided by emerging technologies such as AI and advanced analytics.

Among the Investor segment in the Environmental, Social and Governance market (Retail and Institutional) Institutional Investor segment leads the market.

US Demand for Household Cooking Appliances to Increase in 2020 & Beyond

CLEVELAND, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — US demand for household cooking appliances is forecast to increase 2.8% yearly in nominal terms through 2024, according to Household Cooking Appliances: <span…

CLEVELAND, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — US demand for household cooking appliances is forecast to increase 2.8% yearly in nominal terms through 2024, according to Household Cooking Appliances: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Slight upticks in housing completions will boost new demand for appliances. Replacement demand is also expected to advance, spurred by rising sales of existing homes and renovation activity. Furthermore, continued expansion in disposable personal income levels will give consumers the confidence and spending power to replace old appliances. However, market saturation will continue to limit faster growth in demand.

In 2020, purchasing behavior has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The release of pent-up demand following appliance shortages early in the pandemic will drive demand up 3.7% over the year, with demand for microwaves in particular seeing gains of 6.6%.

These and other key insights are featured in Household Cooking Appliances: United States. This report forecasts to 2020 and 2024 US household cooking appliance demand and shipments in nominal US dollars at the manufacturer level. Total demand and shipments are segmented by product in terms of:

  • electric cooking appliances
  • gas cooking appliances
  • microwave ovens

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, total shipments, the various segments, and trade are provided in annual series from 2009 to 2019.

Hoods are excluded from the scope of this report, as are small cooking appliances such as toasters, toaster ovens, and rice cookers; used/secondhand appliances; cooking appliances designed for commercial use; portable stoves and cookers; barbecues; outdoor grills; and electric grills and griddles. Re-exports of household cooking appliances are excluded from demand and trade figures.

This report features the results of the Freedonia Focus Reports proprietary national consumer survey, including COVID impact analysis.

NEW YORK, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — GameChange Solar today announced BifacialReflector™, a patent-pending new technology which dramatically increases power production for the GameChange Solar Genius Tracker™ with bifacial modules. The technology is a highly reflective (.95 albedo), permanent solid surface up to 4m wide, which reflects light from just above ground level to the back of the bifacial modules. This technology is a significant improvement over other ideas since it is not a ground cover which has a limited life and requires constant maintenance. BifacialReflector™ is a self-cleaning, long-term (40-year life) solution. The reflectors can boost the gain by up to an estimated total of 15-20% when using bifacial modules, which is approximately 5-8% extra gain versus other bifacial trackers which do not have BifacialReflector™ technology.

Andrew Worden, CEO of GameChange Solar, stated: «Solar power plant owners globally have been asking for a cost-effective, long life, maintenance-free, high reflectivity (.95 albedo) ground cover to place under trackers with bifacial modules. We are excited to have been able to provide a unique and superior solution, the BifacialReflector™ technology. Our technology has a significant power boost for bifacial modules and has a life of 40 years with no maintenance, making it a meaningful breakthrough for the industry.»

Honda Leads Full-Line Automakers in Fuel Efficiency and Lowest CO2 Emissions According to U.S. EPA Trends Report

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Continuing a more than 40-year history of fuel-efficiency leadership, Honda ranks as the most fuel-efficient full-line automaker in America in a new report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released on Wednesday. Honda has the highest fleet average fuel economy and lowest CO2 emissions of any full-line automaker for the 2019 model year (MY2019), the latest year for which full data is available, forming the basis of the report….

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Continuing a more than 40-year history of fuel-efficiency leadership, Honda ranks as the most fuel-efficient full-line automaker in America in a new report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released on Wednesday. Honda has the highest fleet average fuel economy and lowest CO2 emissions of any full-line automaker for the 2019 model year (MY2019), the latest year for which full data is available, forming the basis of the report.

The 2020 EPA Automotive Trends Report ranked Honda first among full-line automakers and second overall with a U.S. fleet average «real world» fuel economy of 28.9 miles per gallon (mpg), a five-year improvement of 1.9 mpg, and 4 mpg higher than the industry average for MY2019. Similarly, Honda’s fleet average CO2 emissions was 307 grams/mile, an improvement of 22 grams/mile from 2014 results and 49 grams/mile lower (better) than the industry average for the 2019 model year.

The EPA’s very first ranking of America’s most fuel efficient vehicles in 1976 had the Honda Civic ranked number one, and subsequent reports have consistently shown Honda among the leaders in EPA’s annual fuel efficiency measurements. That means that for more than 40 years, Honda has made fuel efficiency a priority in its products.

In 2020, Honda set a new all-time record for sales of electrified vehicles in America, growing sales by 4.5% amid significant market challenges.

In an effort to reduce CO2 emissions, globally, Honda intends for two-thirds of its automobile sales to be electrified by 2030 and is making substantial investments for the production of electrified vehicles in America1, including the recently-refreshed Accord Hybrid, CR-V Hybrid, Insight and the Acura NSX hybrid supercar.

Honda’s Commitment to the Environment

Based on its vision of «Blue Skies for our Children,» Honda is working to advance technologies that address society’s environmental and energy concerns. The company intends for electrified vehicles to comprise two-thirds of its global automobile sales by 2030. In North America, the Honda Electrification Initiative will see Honda’s electrified powertrain technologies applied to an expanding portfolio of cars and light trucks in the years ahead. Honda’s electrified vehicle lineup today includes the Accord Hybrid, CR-V Hybrid and Honda Insight, and the Clarity series.

Honda is working to reduce the environmental impact of its products throughout their life cycle, including reducing waste, emissions and further improving the energy efficiency of producing, distributing and selling Honda and Acura products in North America. This includes a 93 percent reduction in waste sent to landfills from Honda plants in North America.

Through its «green purchasing» and «green dealer» initiatives, the company also is working to promote more environmentally responsible business practices with its more than 600 original equipment suppliers and 1,300 retail dealer partners.
