The Procter & Gamble Company
Research Report
Reddot has named P&G's Braun CoolTec as recipient of this
year's Product Design Award. The Braun CoolTec shaver effortlessly
combines functionality, performance and aesthetics in one product.
With this award, the new Braun CoolTec joins an exclusive category
of more than 250 Braun products that have received leading
international design awards throughout the past five decades. The
Braun CoolTec shaver combines a unique icy-blue color with a
premium black contrasting in parts of the body. The ergonomic body
of the shaver and intuitive handling via the icicle button activate
the cooling feature, which cools down the skin during the shaving
process. This minimizes irritation and provides a relaxed and fresh
skin sensation right after shaving. The Full Research Report on The

Kimberly Clark Corp. Research
Report
"On the road with ON-Q: Post-Operative Pain Education Bus Tour",
a nationwide campaign aimed at educating clinicians, administrators
and other healthcare professionals about the importance of a
post-operative pain management program has been initialized by
I-Flow, a Kimberly-Clark Health Care Company. "For care providers,
acute surgical pain management is an increasingly important issue,
as the negative effects of powerful narcotics have become further
realized," said Chris Barys, General
Manager, I-Flow. "The goal of the mobile classroom is to give
clinicians the education and resources they need to make the most
optimal pain management decisions post-surgery, maintaining the
patient's comfort and safety as the top priority." Powerful
narcotics used to be the treatment of choice when it comes to
post-surgical pain. This caused undesirable side-effects such as
grogginess, immunosuppression, nausea and vomiting as well as the
risk of addiction. By reducing the use of narcotics, with a pain
pump, patients are more likely to experience better pain management
and faster recovery times - patients typically go home an average
of 1.1 days sooner than when treated with narcotics alone and
hospitals realize additional cost savings. The Full Research Report

Blyth, Inc. Research Report
Despite a slight decrease in net sales for 2012 Q4, Blyth has
still managed to position itself for profitable growth. The sale of
Sterno and its new, long-term understanding with ViSalus Founders
to penetrate markets outside the U.S. has put the company in an
advantage. "ViSalus's fourth quarter sales, at $127 million, represented 29% year-over-year
sales growth," said Robert B.
Goergen, Chairman of the Board and CEO for Blyth. "Moreover,
its full year sales were $624 million
versus $230 million in 2011. That
ViSalus achieved such significant market penetration highlights the
opportunity in opening additional markets outside of North America, beginning in 2013, following
the lead of many global health and wellness competitors," he added.
The company will also continue to invest in Candles & Home
Décor and Catalog & Internet businesses in order to attain
long-term sales and earnings growth. The Full Research Report on
Blyth, Inc. - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings

scholarship-granting organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual,
