The ranking is based upon annual growth rate in revenue and those that make the list are considered to be at the forefront of business and innovation. Azuri ranked 325 on the list (up from 370th in the 2020 list), having achieved a 503% revenue growth over four years. This is the third year the company has been listed in the FT1000.

Azuri is again the only off-grid solar company to make the list and the company’s growth can be attributed to the consistent need for affordable, off-grid energy solutions in sub-Saharan Africa. This is a region where 600 million people lack access to reliable energy services and modern devices.

Simon Bransfield-Garth, CEO of Azuri Technologies commented «We are honoured once again to have been recognised by the Financial Times in the list of the 1000 fastest growing companies in Europe. In the current global climate, Azuri’s growth is testament to the critical ongoing need for energy in sub Saharan Africa»

Azuri has been operating in sub-Saharan Africa since 2012 and has sold more than 200,000 systems to date.

Azuri has coupled off-grid solar with energy-efficient smart TVs, rechargeable radios, satellite entertainment, internet access and a range of other appliances and services to bring modern digital technology to off-grid households.

In addition to research and development facilities in Cambridge, Azuri has operations in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Nigeria.

Azuri was also ranked 40th in the 2020 Sunday Times Sage Tech Track 100 league table which ranks Britain’s fastest growing privately held companies by sales growth (% per annum) over the last 3 years.

MIAMI, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Viewpoint, an informational television program hosted by veteran American actor Dennis Quaid, is gearing up for a segment featuring sustainable green strategies in the agriculture industry. Top-of-the-line innovators and methods will be showcased in the segment to shed light on the importance of making the agriculture industry green.

Increased awareness about the environmental harm caused by typical agriculture practices has caused eco-friendly farming to become a top priority more than ever before. Legitimate and sustainable agriculture practices can offset the destruction of habitats, forest clearings, and the damage done by conventional pesticides.

Farmer and agriculturists are finding ways to reduce the impact cultivating land and produce have on the environment. A popular way farmers are changing the course of agriculture is by implementing renewable energy sources. Switching to green methods can significantly reduce the carbon footprint created by conventional farming. Renewable energy sources, such as solar power, hydropower, or wind, can be used as alternative energy methods. Solar power is useful for fueling pumping and heating systems, and hydropower, which is sourced from river water, can run various farming machinery.

Viewpoint is proud to highlight these sustainable agricultural methods in the upcoming segment. The program will feature the combined efforts of the show’s development team and content providers. Making green changes can help ensure a healthy environment for generations to come. Dennis Quaid will host the TV program.

Viewpoint with Dennis Quaid is created explicitly for television stations in the U.S. to educate audiences on various topics. The show is the recipient of numerous Telly awards. A crew of seasoned producers, developers, editors, and writers ties together the show.

No World Borders Publishes Affordable Care Act Risk Corridor Analysis

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — No World Borders, Inc. announced that its CEO, Michael F. Arrigo published an analysis of risk corridors under the Affordable Care Act.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — No World Borders, Inc. announced that its CEO, Michael F. Arrigo published an analysis of risk corridors under the Affordable Care Act.

Michael F. Arrigo, C.E.O. of No World Borders, said, «With the House approval of the American Rescue Plan Act, it has approved broader subsidies. These subsidies are intended to insure more of the currently uninsured and encourage more states to expand Medicaid.  The increase in the number of insureds increases the risk pool.  The ARPA should encourage us to look back at the lessons learned when the Affordable Care Act started. When Health Insurance Exchanges were launched, insurers did not have the actuarial experience to estimate newly set premiums, risk rates and utilization.  Risk corridors were intended to limit both the amount of money that a health insurance plan can make — and how much it can lose — during the first three years.  In part, the intent was to encourage insurers to enter the HIE markets by mitigating their risk, «…to protect against the effects of adverse selection…»  Once risk corridors were developed Congress refused to fund the program.  This ultimately led to the lawsuit before the Supreme Court: Maine Community Health Options v. the United States.»

The new retrospective analysis evaluates whether risk corridors benefit the insureds that the Affordable Care Act is designed to cover.  Topics include:

  1. Risk Corridor Litigation Timeline
  2. History of Risk Corridors in the Affordable Care Act
  3. How Risk Corridor Calculations Work
  4. Risk Corridor Controversy
  5. Expected Benefits to the Consumer via Market Competition
  6. Using Medicare Part D as a Basis
  7. Actuarial Analysis of Costs and Benefits to Consumers and the Government in Plans with Risk Corridors
  8. Affordable Care Act Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) Standard
  9. Expenditures to Control or Contain Costs Such as Fraud are Excluded from MLR

About Michael F Arrigo

Michael F. Arrigo is the CEO of No World Borders, a healthcare data regulations and economics firm.  He serves as an expert witness regarding the Affordable Care Act.  In his work he also advises clients regarding risk adjustment in Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Part D, and Accountable Care Organizations under the Affordable Care Act. 

About No World Borders

No World Borders was founded in 2000.  The company has a group of experts and technology focused on solving complex healthcare data, regulations, and economics and has offices throughout the U.S. The company news coverage and examples of client success stories are listed on its website.

Lexus Launches Bold New Aviation-inspired LC 500h Limited Edition

– LC 500h Limited Edition inspired by air-racing aerodynamic technology

– Specially developed rear wing fashioned with carbon fiber for enhanced driving pleasure & superior handling

– Exclusive Black ornamentation used on garnish, grille, rear wing and wheels to create a sharp, taut impression that evokes the image of a powerful bird

– Unique black AlcantaraTM trimmed sport seats with Saddle Tan accents and seat belts

– Unique black AlcantaraTM trimmed sport seats with Saddle Tan accents and seat belts

NEW DELHI, MUMBAI and BANGALORE, India, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Lexus India has launched a limited-edition model of its sports coupe- the LC 500h. Inspired by the graceful flight of birds and airplanes, this special edition focuses on a refined aerodynamic performance that aims to elevate sense of driving.

The new LC Limited Edition is inspired by a partnership between air race pilot Yoshihide Muroya and Lexus engineers. The Lexus team worked on different ways to create efficiencies for Muroya’s aircraft, from refining the grip design of the control column to maximizing aerodynamics efficiencies using testing data learned on Lexus automobiles. The partnership ultimately assisted Muroya on his path to winning the 2017 Red Bull Air Race World Championships.

With a team consisting some of the same engineers who built the Lexus LFA supercar on board, Lexus took a unique approach by turning a preconceived concept on its head – literally. They found that taking an airplane wing and flipping it upside down improved maneuverability and efficiency at the wingtips. This led to the creation of an exquisite carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) rear wing that realizes greater steering responsiveness and stability without disrupting the LC’s inherent vehicle stability. The LC 500h Limited Edition meets the demanding production quality expected of Lexus vehicles and offers a captivating design in harmony with exhilarating performance.

  • The LC 500h Limited Edition is available in three striking colours that accentuate the design of the vehicle – White Nova Glass Flake, Sonic Silver, and Black.
  • The interiors are adorned with Black AlcantaraTM trimmed seats that feature elegant Saddle Tan accents and seat belts.
  • The steering wheel, shift lever and door trims are also accented in Black AlcantaraTM trim.
  • An exclusive carbon-fiber scuff plate integrates the LC silhouette and lettering that reads «LC Limited Edition» & «LEXUS».
  • A sporty & aggressively styled 21-inch forged wheel, exclusive to the LC Limited Edition, aids in lower drag co-efficient with the same level of rigidity.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. P. B. Venugopal, President of Lexus India, said, «We are very excited to announce the addition of the exclusive limited edition of the LC 500h. With its bold, aviation-inspired design language, we are confident that it will be well received by our discerning guests who value and appreciate the quality of finer things in life.»

The LC 500h Limited Edition will be available at a starting price of INR  2,15,60,000.

The LC 500 Convertible was named the Best Luxury Car of 2021 in the Women’s World Car of the Year (WWCOTY) awards.

The model is among nine category winners recognized for their excellence in their segment, taking into account qualities including design, safety and comfort as key factors. As a category winner, it now goes forward for consideration for the Best Car of the Year title, to be announced by WWCOTY on 8 March, International Women’s Day.

  • Seven Technologies Tailored to Unique Demands of EVs
  • Enhances Durability, Efficiency & Optimizes NVH Performance

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nexteer Automotive, a leader in intuitive motion control, continues expanding its Driveline portfolio with new Halfshaft technologies that are tailored to meet the unique demands of electric vehicles (EVs).

Nexteer’s Halfshaft technologies solve EV challenges by enhancing durability and efficiency while optimizing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance and low mass.

Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EV architectures utilize Electric Drive Units (EDUs) integrated into the front axle for front wheel drive (FWD), the rear axle for rear wheel drive (RWD) or both for all wheel drive operation (AWD). While ICE vehicles often used a variety of Driveline technologies, EVs rely on Halfshafts for the critical task of transmitting torque from the EDU’s to the wheels.

«The global automotive industry’s commitment to electrification continues to increase, and Nexteer’s Driveline innovations help overcome automakers’ EV challenges so they can create comfortable and durable electric vehicles to achieve consumer preferences across global markets,» said Robin Milavec, Senior Vice President, Executive Board Director, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Strategy Officer (CSO), Nexteer Automotive. «Our vast experience with Driveline and our commitment to relentless innovation make Nexteer a preferred technology partner as OEM customers work to meet the unique needs of EVs.»

Nexteer’s Driveline technologies include:

  • Parametric Trunnion Tripot: Increases durability life by 100%, which enables the use of smaller, lighter joints.
  • TriGlide Shudderless Tripot: Achieves industry-leading NVH performance for a shudderless tripot.
  • Ball Spline Axle Halfshaft: A unique Halfshaft solution that provides expanded plunge / angle capabilities, expanded durability and unmatched NVH performance even at ultra-high operating angles.
  • Monobloc Tubular Shaft: Enables lower mass and increased torsional stiffness for RWD and FWD ICE and EV applications with one-piece tubular axle shafts.
  • CrossGlide 8-Ball Plunging Joint: Provides ideal NVH characteristics, lower mass and smaller package size for RWD EV applications.
  • High Efficiency Fixed Center 8-Ball Joint: Delivers a 50% reduction in mechanical efficiency loss in the Driveline while providing a reduced package size and reduced mass for FWD, RWD and AWD EV applications.
  • 52 Degree CV Joint: Expands capability of standard undercut free (UF) style outboard (OB) joint to 52 degrees.

«Nexteer’s portfolio of Halfshaft technologies are essential to transferring and controlling power from an EV’s Drive Unit to its wheels – providing a smooth ride, increasing control and limiting disturbances for drivers and passengers. We are proud to support automakers as they drive toward a more electric future,» said Milavec.
