Continued growth witnessed by ethical nutrition market since 2008; infant formula segment to dominate with 54.5% share by 2019














(PRWEB) February 06, 2015

Wellesley, Mass., February 6, 2015 – BCC Research (http://www.bccresearch.com) reveals in its new report on ethical nutrition that the increasing numbers of adults requiring ethical nutritional therapy and the rising opportunities in the rest of world markets has created a renewed interest in this market. In fact, this market has continued to grow despite the economic downturn and uneven recovery since 2008.

In 2014, the market reached $ 37.1 billion at manufacturers’ sales levels. The developing number of elderly and critically ill, along with a shift toward home care and increasing inroads into developing countries has continued to fuel growth. By 2019, it is anticipated that revenues will likely reach $ 58.2 billion, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The infant formula segment will account for approximately 54.5% of total revenues by 2019.

The global market for ethical nutrition in healthcare is distinguished by the infant formula market, the enteral formula market, and the parenteral formula market. “Even though there are different products and methods distinguishing each category, the common thread they all share is to provide nutrition,” says BCC Research analyst Mary Anne Crandall. “The impact of managed care and demand for cost-effective healthcare dramatically has changed the structure of this market and has altered significantly the strategies that companies use to survive and succeed.”

U.S. and Global Markets for Ethical Nutrition in Healthcare identifies products and manufacturers that are operating in the market and analyzes the changing environment of ethical nutrition. Issues and trends that are shaping the market are addressed, along with future trends and opportunities in ethical nutrition.

Miss Mardi Gras Drag Queen Pageant Finds Their King and Grand Marshall for Big Event Organized by CMJ Productions and Downtown Dunedin Merchant’s Association














Dunedin Mardi Gras will host its Miss Mardi Gras Pageant at Blur Nightclub in Dunedin.

Tampa Bay, FL (PRWEB) February 05, 2015

It is the time of year again for the annual Miss Mardi Gras Pageant, a night full of big wigs, glamour and evening gowns. Female impersonators from around the area will gather to compete for the title of Miss Mardi Gras Queen. Coming up on its 24 year run, this pageant was created by Bob Moore of Kelly’s, Chica-a-boom Room, and Blur Nightclub in Dunedin to add a new element to their yearly event: the Dunedin Mardi Gras.

Miss Mardi Gras is the longest running female impersonation pageant in Florida. While it is usually all about the queens, the rest of the royal line-up has been announced for CMJ’s big event. Dave Eggers, the former Mayor of Dunedin and current Pinellas County Commissioner, has been chosen as the King and escort for the Miss Mardi Gras Queen, while Chuck Henson from the local Bay News 9 team has been knighted the title of Grand Marshall. The winner of the Miss Mardi Gras pageant will ride in the Mardi Gras parade and also perform for guests after the parade ends. Other entertainment and activities after the parade include:


Performances from Applebutter Express, Nathan & the Zyedeco Cha Chas and more;
Jugglers, caricature artists and street performers;
Bands on three stages.

Blur Nightclub will be hosting the pageant on February 15 and locals can use this time to purchase VIP tickets for the parade that will be on February 17. The annual Dunedin Mardi Gras Parade is expecting thousands of both local and outside citizens to participate in the family-friendly festivities. With music starting at the Pioneer Park pavilion around 4 p.m., the parade sets off at 7:30 p.m. featuring over 50 unique floats while beads are being tossed from every angle into the crowd.

Additionally, several elected officials from other areas will ride in the parade to tie in with event’s “Tampa Bay’s Mardi Gras” inclusion effort. The Downtown Dunedin Merchant’s Association (DDMA) and City of Dunedin Commissioners will also be riding together on a float during the event.

The Miss Mardi Gras Pageant serves to promote Dunedin to a wide and diverse group of people. Guests of the parade and pageant are encouraged to book accommodations at host hotel Beso Del Sol Resort for ease of access to the event.

Urban Hydroponics Inc. Signs Definitive Agreement to Merge with Canadian Hydroponics Companies











Miami Beach, Florida (PRWEB UK) 31 October 2014

Urban Hydroponics, Inc. (OTCQB:URHY), a Nevada corporation (“Urban Hydroponics” or, the “Company”) today announced it has signed a Binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to merge with three Canada-based companies in the urban cultivation sector – Urban Cultivator Inc. (“Urban Cultivator”), BC Northern Lights Enterprises Ltd. (“BC Northern Lights”), and W3 Metal Inc. (“W3 Metal” and together with Urban Cultivator and BC Northern Lights, the “Target Companies”). Pursuant to the LOI and an earlier non-binding term sheet, Urban Hydroponics, to date, has made working capital bridge loans to the Target Companies in an aggregate amount of $ 880,000 from funds it raised in a private placement to non-US persons.

Urban Cultivator is a British Columbia-based manufacturer of high quality, fully-automated indoor growing appliances that allow year-round growing of herbs, micro-greens, flowers and veggies. The “Urban Cultivator™” appliance features an automated control center to ensure that greens get precisely the right amount of water and light, while onboard fans control humidity and air circulation. The Urban Cultivator comes in a residential model and a commercial size application for restaurants. The Urban Cultivator appliance plumbs into city water and electricity, and is easy to install. It serves the growing ‘locavore’ movement that aims to consume locally grown, organic foods. Urban Cultivator employs 14 people and its estimated, unaudited revenue for 2014 is expected to be approximately $ 1.2 million. Urban Cultivator’s website address is http://www.urbancultivator.net .

The commercial scale Urban Cultivator is used by some of the top restaurants and hotels in the world including the Four Seasons and the Fairmont, both in Vancouver. High end chefs turn to the Urban Cultivator to help them provide the freshest and best tasting experience for their customers. The Urban Cultivator can save restaurants $ 500 to $ 1500 per month in the cost of greens. Moreover, restaurants can promise their customers that greens grown on their premises in the Urban Cultivator are cultivated without pesticides and harmful chemicals and are harvested at peak nutritional value then plated within minutes. Executive Chef of Four Seasons Vancouver, Ned Bell, has emphasized that “The Urban Cultivator is a vital component to our culinary mission of incorporating fresh, local and sustainable ingredients into our menus.”

Additionally, Martha Stewart, famous culinary enthusiast, is a fan of the Urban Cultivator and has described the appliance as “the perfect indoor garden for your home and restaurant.” Martha Stewart uses the Urban Cultivator in her “test kitchen” to incorporate fresh herbs and ingredients into her recipes, to promote a healthy-green diet.

BC Northern Lights is a British Columbia-based manufacturer of indoor hydroponic grow boxes serving the sector since 2001. BC Northern Lights offers seven different grow box combinations that help both the novice and professional grower through each stage of the production cycle.

Every BC Northern Lights grow box is a fully automated hydroponic growing appliance, made with premium parts and electronics and comes with all essential supplies including CO2 setup, nutrients, bulbs, pumps, and an electronic timer.

BC Northern Lights employs 13 people. Its estimated, unaudited annual revenues for 2014 are expected to be approximately $ 2.5 million. The web address for BC Northern Lights is http://www.bcnorthernlights.com.

W3 Metal is a British Columbia-based metals fabricator that specializes in the manufacture of hydroponic grow boxes for Urban Cultivator and BC Northern Lights. It is expected that he integration of W3 Metal into the post-merger company will help ensure the highest standards of quality control for the metal components and manufacture of the Urban Cultivator appliances and the BC Northern Lights growboxes.

Urban Hydroponics’ Principal Executive Officer Frank Terzo stated, “This proposed merger transaction will bring public two of the leading name brands in hydroponics. Urban Cultivator and BC Northern Lights appliances have received accolades from trade publications and high-profile users alike. The increasing awareness around eating locally grown, higher nutrition foods that reduce our carbon footprint is a driving force behind the expanding growth of this market. We look forward to completing this merger transaction by the end of the calendar year.”

Tarren Wolfe, founder and majority stockholder of Urban Cultivator, BC Northern Lights, and W3 Metal, added, “We believe that upon completion of this merger, we will be financed and positioned for accelerated growth as we leverage our brand equity to supply top-quality appliances to residential and commercial customers. As a public company we can better pursue the tremendous growth opportunity in the hydroponics market.”

For more information about the proposed merger and related transactions, including the bridge loans to the Target Companies and the Company’s associated private placement, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2014. The proposed merger is subject to certain conditions and contingencies and there can be no assurance at this time that the merger will be completed as currently planned.

Urban Hydroponics, Inc.

Urban Hydroponics, Inc. (formerly known as Placer Del Mar, Ltd.) was incorporated in Nevada on May 13, 2005 for the purpose of mining and mineral exploration. In June, 2013 the Company ceased its mining exploration activities to refocus its business objectives on seeking a business combination with a private entity whose business would present an opportunity for the Company’s shareholders. Since that time the Company has been a “shell company” as such term is defined under the federal securities laws. Frank Terzo is currently the Company’s sole officer and director.
