When dieting, the support from others is paramount in successful weight loss. Diet Doc, realizing that by providing more support to their clients will enable a higher percentage to lose weight; they recently announced unlimited clinical support for every client. Six days per week (Monday-Saturday), clients can contact an in-house physician, nurse, nutritionist, or diet counselor and discuss all aspects of the hCG diet plans. Medical Director for Diet Doc, Dr. Nishant Rao adds “The real secret to achieving long term results is having the right support system in place, to catch you when you may stumble, and we now provide unlimited support for every client, from the initial fast weight loss through to the maintenance stage, ensuring long term success for every client.” Diet Doc recognizes that dieting can become tedious and arduous. In an effort to keep dieters invigorated, thus producing results, the company has developed a support plan that continually evaluates and addresses the individual factors that lead to fast weight loss, or even factors that may be causing diminishing results or even plateau. The company recognizes the importance of fostering feelings of wellbeing during hCG diet plans, and most importantly, the availability of nutritionists and physicians who can alter the diet plan as fast weight loss changes, begins to taper off, or is not adequate for the client's health goals. During fast weight loss, dieters may experience plateau or other negative symptoms of low caloric intake, if these symptoms occur it is imperative that patients have access to in-house physicians and nutritionists to alter the hCG diet plans and revive effectiveness.

In our previous quarterly report, BMI revised down its production and sales estimates for Iran's autos industry - despite total vehicle output by Iran's automakers increasing 2.4% year-on-year (y-o-y) to 1.64mn in the Iranian year ended March 19 2012 - owing to the withdrawal of many international companies from the country in the wake of global sanctions against its nuclear efforts.

BMI View: Although Vietnam's telecoms sector is generally exhibiting declining growth momentum we believe the market still harbours significant potential given that the bulk of consumers are using basic, lowvalue services. The 3G sector is particularly attractive as consumers have yet to see the benefits of the service, in addition to other hindrances to adoption such as a lack of content. However, the competitive landscape is dominated by state companies, leaving little opportunities for foreign players.

GlobalData has released its new Country report, "PharmaPoint: Prostate Cancer - Australia Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022". The recent approvals of second-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) therapies like J&J's Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) and Medivation/Astellas' Xtandi (enzalutamide) will drive strong market growth over the next decade. These safe and orally administered treatments will provide safety and convenience benefits over the current standard of care, chemotherapy with docetaxel, while prolonging the overall survival of patients with mCRPC. The December 12, 2012 FDA approval of Zytiga for the added indication of chemotherapy-naive mCRPC marks the onset of a new treatment paradigm for the disease, in which chemotherapy is relegated to second-line therapy and beyond. For patients with earlier-stage prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonists and first-generation antiandrogens remains the standard of care for suppressing testosterone levels and temporarily controlling the disease.

Less complicated design and structure of carbon taxes, makes it easier to quickly implement them in comparison to emission trading programs. Implementing carbon taxes will have an immediate impact on the thermal power generation sector, which is the largest contributor to carbon emissions worldwide. Increased adoption of carbon taxes through a year-on-year phase-in process will enable the prediction of future energy and power prices with improved accuracy. Increasing carbon emissions are a serious concern, as they are causing an increase in temperature, leading to rising sea levels, which in turn are causing a number of adverse effects globally. China, the US, the UK, Australia and countries in the EU have set targets for mandatory energy cuts and are improving energy efficiency in order to curtail the increase of carbon emissions. For the same reasons, these countries, based upon the distinct features of accelerated emission control, are increasingly considering carbon taxation over emission trading schemes to quickly reduce their carbon emissions.

Global solar industry is now at cross roads and now shaping into a big industry. The current global solar power market can be characterized by solar module inventory pileup, intense trade disputes among countries, frequent incentives cuts, falling prices of solar module, pressurized margins of manufacturer and fierce competition among others. When the supply of modules from the manufacturers exceeds market demand, it reflects in their inventory levels. The inventory levels tend to increase due to a decrease in sales.

The top 10 module companies accounted for more than 40% of the global share in 2012. Five out of these 10 module manufacturer companies are based in China.
