India Reflects Consistent Improvement in the World's Global Transparency Ratings
Jones Lang LaSalle's Global Transparency Index Shows that India has Surged Perceptibly ahead in its Real Estate Transparency Ranking. Tier 1 cities are Currently Ranked # 41 Among Nations Surveyed
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Tuesday, June 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- The 2010 Global Real Estate Transparency Index just released by Jones Lang LaSalle and LaSalle Investment Management revealed a worldwide slowdown in the progress of real estate transparency over the past two years. The survey suggests that the recent turmoil in global financial, economic and real estate markets has impacted on market behaviour, with real estate players focusing on survival rather than market advancement. The average improvement in real estate transparency across the 81 markets covered by the survey has halved in 2008-2010, when compared to the 2006-2008 and 2004-2006 period.
Abhishek Kiran Gupta, Head - Research & REIS, Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj, states, "The latest transparency index reveals that India has yet again surged ahead in its real estate transparency ranking. The country's Tier 1 cities are currently ranked # 41 among nations surveyed, while India's tertiary cities have graduated from the Low Transparency tier to Semi-Transparent. Further, Indian cities in each tier are now considered slightly more transparent than their Chinese counterparts."

High Transparency Markets
9 out of the 15 fastest improvers are in Europe, and the remaining 6 are in Asia Pacific - to be more precise, 3 from India and 3 from China. Countries with lower investor interest levels - such as Turkey, Poland, Greece and others - have actually improved the most since 2008. On the heels of the global crisis, real estate transparency levels in one-third of the countries are static or declining.
"India's real estate market is rapidly shedding the elements that were part of a less mature system," says Anuj Puri, Chairman & Country Head, Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj. "The increasing transparency levels are a reliable indicator that the country is adapting fast to the ways in which real estate business is done in more developed countries. The result is that Indian real estate is gaining swiftly in international credibility, and this in turn is boosting investor confidence levels."

Largest Improvement 2008-2010
Notes
The survey identifies the fastest moving markets over the past two years, and presents the top-ranking markets in each of the five transparency categories - Performance Measurement, Market Fundamentals, Listed Vehicles, Legal and Regulatory Environment and Transaction Process. Experts from the disciplines of accounting, finance and law have also been consulted, especially in emerging markets, in order to supplement Jones Lang LaSalle's real estate knowledge.

BWI: New G-6 Gonio Lens from Volk Offers True 360°

New G-6 Gonio Lens from Volk Offers True 360°
Lens Reduces Eye Examination Time by 25 Percent or More
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Tuesday, June 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Volk Optical has developed a new Gonio lens with the most comprehensive sweeping views of the anterior segment of the eye. The G-6 Gonio's six closely aligned mirrors provide a true 360° view during glaucoma screening, without any lens adjustment required.
Photo: http://halmapr.com/volk/G6 Release.jpg
The lens' six mirrors are equally angled at 63°, eliminating gaps for visualisation of the entire anterior segment at 1.0x magnification. During examination, two of the mirrors are aligned in the superior and inferior regions, while the remaining four mirrors provide a continuous view through the nasal and temporal regions. Practitioners can quickly scan across mirrors, without the confusion of tracking where one view ends and the next begins that can come from rotating the lens. This fast scanning and less need to manoeuvre the slit lamp can reduce examination time by 25 percent or more.
The G-6's taller, tapered profile is easier to hold within the orbit and lessens the chance that a patient can squeeze it off the eye. The "nf" (no flange/no fluid) design of this lens facilitates use without viscous interface solutions. For handling flexibility, the G-6 comes with a ring or a versatile 2-in-1 handle that can easily be adjusted to create a straight or 45° angled grip.

BWI: New Range of Portable Arsenic Test Kits from Palintest

New Range of Portable Arsenic Test Kits from Palintest
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Tuesday, June 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- The new DigiPAsS and VisuPAsS systems from Palintest Ltd offer accurate, laboratory-standard Arsenic testing in a portable field kit format. Both options use the well-established Gutzeit method to detect Arsenic levels in drinking water, up to and well beyond the WHO recommended maximum of 10 µg/l.
Photo: http://halmapr.com/palintest/pal0210digipass.jpg
The method first converts all Arsenic in a sample to Arsine gas, which is then completely captured by the unique three-stage filter. This ensures excellent accuracy, with no toxic gas release, over the 20 minute reaction time. The result can be assessed either visually against a colour chart (100 - 500 µg/l) or analyzed by the dedicated DigiPAsS instrument with accuracy and precision across the 2-100 µg/l range comparable to AAS. The simplicity of the VisuPAsS system makes it especially suitable for more challenging environments, or where costs must be kept to a minimum.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring contaminant of drinking water in several areas of the world, and even at very low concentrations it causes a variety of serious conditions known collectively as arsenicosis. Symptoms may not even appear until after many accumulated years of drinking contaminated water. The need for accurate testing at low concentrations is therefore vital to continued water safety, and these new Arsenic test kits from Palintest Ltd. offer laboratory quality analysis for on the spot verification.
About Palintest
Based in the United Kingdom, Palintest (www.palintest.com) is a specialized manufacturer of water analysis technology, with its origins dating back to 1870. In the 1950s, Dr. Thomas Palin joined the company after developing the principal of breakpoint chlorination for water and inventing the DPD testing method for chlorine levels in drinking water. The DPD method, though over 50 years old, is still the recognised standard chlorine test both in China and around the world. Through continued improvement, refinement and innovation, the company is now the world's leading producer of a full range of testing equipment and reagents for water, soil, and the environment.
About Halma
Halma p.l.c. (www.halma.com) is an international market leader in safety, health and sensor technology. Halma is a public company listed on the London Stock Exchange and has over 4000 employees in over 40 subsidiaries worldwide with a total turnover of over US$780m (2008).

FIME Expands Global Footprint, Starts Operations in India
Prakash Sambandam named as the Director of FIME India, located in Bangalore
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Monday, June 28, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- FIME is both an independent society offering expertise and consulting, and a worldwide provider of test solutions in the smart card, RFID and NFC domains. The group is therefore present in several specialised markets such as electronic payment, health, transport, logistics, telecommunications and e-Identity.
FIME currently has nearly 200 employees speaking English, French, Mandarin, Russian and Spanish on a daily basis, spread throughout 4 branches worldwide: FIME Europe, FIME Asia, FIME America and now, FIME India.
"The naming of Prakash Sambandam in this position reinforces our presence in India, where we have already been selling our services and solutions for two years. Prakash will take the lead of this new branch in order to continue working on and consolidating our development in this region which has great potential. This new structure will actively contribute to the enrichment of our expertise at a global level as well as to our international development," explains Pascal Le Ray, CEO of FIME.
Prakash Sambandam has been involved in the IT domain over many years, in a variety of sectors such as training, software development and management. He created an IT services centre in India and managed a team of 45 people in the software engineering and smart card domain for 6 years. By taking on the role of Director of FIME India he brings to FIME over 16 years' experience as well as creates a cultural fusion between Europe and Asia. This will enable FIME to better understand the expectations and specific needs of Indian clients in order to better serve them.
"The creation of the FIME India branch is the logical next step in the ongoing development that FIME has undertaken since it was created. Proximity and assimilation are some of our major concerns since this is what will allow us to provide Indian companies with the expertise of a large group adapted to their specific local needs," said Prakash Sambandam.
The smart card sector in India is constantly growing, with many projects going on in the SIM card, NFC and contactless technology domains. The majority of these projects come from government initiatives (the development of ePassports, digital identity cards and drivers' licenses.), PDS (public distribution system), the NREGS (National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme), and the private sector, in particular for the development of banking applications and micro-finance.
With over 1 billion inhabitants and a growing average income, these services are becoming increasingly sought after by integrators, application developers, certification bodies and manufacturers. The Asia Pacific region is projected, by 2013, to contribute around 40% of the global smart card market. The Indian smart card activity is expected to cross 6 billion USD in the next few years.
FIME has already been present in India for 6 years through the offshore platform of the Orange Business Services group, which FIME belongs to. FIME will be adding the launching of test tool solutions as well as consulting and accompaniment to its local offer of support for TIP products and R&D, thus proving its position as a global test solutions provider.
FIME now covers all geographic zones where systems are migrating to the use of smart cards.
One of FIME's goals is to expand its global coverage and develop its existing branches, particularly in North America, China and India.
About FIME®
FIME is a worldwide supplier of test solutions in the domain of smartcards, RFID and NFC. Providing an overall and integrated service consisting of laboratory testing, test tools, consulting and innovation through dedicated R&D, FIME holds a strong position as a real business accelerator.
