Otello Ceci, Nerodilambrusco Star Ingredient of The “Otello Ceci Lambrusco Sour” Cocktail

TORRILE, ITALY – EQS Newswire – 16 February 2022 – As part of the Mixology project, CECI 1938 has created the “Otello Ceci Lambrusco Sour” cocktail in collaboration with Italian professional barlady Valentina Cantarelli. The recipe includes Otello Ceci Nerodilambrusco, an unusual choice in cocktail mixology.

 

The CECI 1938 winery’s most iconic Lambrusco bears the OTELLO CECI 1813 Nerodilambrusco label. With CECI 1938, Lambrusco becomes the manifesto for a young, contemporary way of life, a wine that expresses joy through the charm of its red bubbles. A true ode to Made In Italy.

 

The ultimate Lambrusco with a multifaceted personality, OTELLO CECI has a rich palette of colours, from the intense ruby red of the nectar to the lighter crimson of the froth that forms when pouring and lights up the glass brilliantly. A full-bodied wine with a sparkling, social character and a smooth flavour, to be enjoyed cold.

 

The Mixology project (recipe book available at www.lambrusco.it) takes the world of wine to a new, contemporary dimension with an international flavour and a playful spirit.

The “Otello Ceci Lambrusco Sour” blend captures the flavour of the Emilia region and expresses the unmistakeable CECI 1938 lifestyle, drawing on all the senses. The new cocktail rewrites the rules of a popular technique. The acidity of lemon and the sweetness of sugar combined with Bourbon define the shaken base, on which the Lambrusco literally floats.

 

The CECI 1938 winery is renowned for its ongoing product research and unique approach to bottle design. OTELLO CECI 1813, the feather in the cap of the company’s production, is like an exclusive garment, a contemporary, unconventional style that envelops a wine waiting to be discovered, enclosed in the unmistakeable bottle with a square base, the first of its kind. This regular, discreet shape is also adopted on the label, where the words celebrate Otello Ceci, the creative visionary who founded the Italian winery.

 

To make “Otello Ceci Lambrusco Sour” you need 30 ml of lemon juice, 30 ml of sugar syrup, 60 ml of Bourbon and of course, Otello Ceci NerodiLambrusco. Fill the shaker with ice, add all the ingredients with the exception of Otello Ceci NerodiLambrusco, and shake vigorously. Transfer to a glass filled with ice and float the Otello Ceci NerodiLambrusco on top.

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA – African Media Agency – 16 February 2022 – The debate titled “The South Africa perspective: Can the EU & Africa reboot their relationship” will be hosted in partnership with Euronews, Europe’s leading international news media, and its sister channel Africanews. The live debate will take place on the first day of the Summit, 17 February 2022, at 16:00 CAT and will be live-streamed on euronews.com and africanews.com, and across their social platforms.

The internationally acclaimed former Euro News anchor, Chris Burns will host the session. The debate will focus on main issues shaping South Africa-EU relations, including vaccine production, sustainable development, security, energy, education and economic integration and recovery.

 “Africa has come a long way since the first summit held in Cairo in 2001. The upcoming sixth summit presents an opportunity to achieve the vision of the 2001 summit, something that has been elusive for two decades. This sixth installment is taking place at a time governments are implementing recovery plans to rebuild their economies dented by the pandemic, the worst to hit the world in more than 100 years,” says Sithembile Ntombela, Acting CEO of Brand South Africa.

“No emerging market has the sophisticated capital markets, strong business sector, independent judiciary, central bank and free press that South Africa has; yet the triple challenges of poverty, unemployment and inequality threaten its’ stability. Come discover if and how the nation can thread this needle.” Colin Coleman 

 

“As South Africa, we would like to play a key role in leading the discussions on how EU can partner with African countries to rebuild their covid-19 ravaged economies, thereby contributing to solutions to mitigate the impact of the pandemic. There are opportunities for the two continents to co-operate in the manufacturing of covid-19 vaccines,and increased efforts in reducing vaccine hesitancy.. All nations, rich and poor, have an obligation to work together to end the pandemic,” adds Ntombela

Thai baht reaches five-month high

The Thai baht hit a five-month high on Monday with optimism over the nation’s tourism sector boosting inflows.

Online tutoring innovator AmazingTalker secures $15.5m Series A funding

Funding will power international expansion and service development for the platform as it advances on its mission to simplify tutor and student discovery.

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 16 February 2022 – AmazingTalker, a Taiwan-based global platform designed to help students find private tutors of languages and other subjects including mathematics, has received  $15.5 million in Series A funding. The round was led by CDIB Capital, with participation from JAFCO Asia and from 500 Global.

AmazingTalker announced $15.5 million in Series A funding. AmazingTalker founders (from left), co-founder and COO A-May and co-founder and CEO Abner Chao

 

Over the past five years, AmazingTalker has attained an annual revenue growth rate of nearly 500 percent, with 60 percent of revenue coming from overseas. To date, it has around 8,000 registered tutors and 1.1 million registered users, and has clocked 5.5 million online course reservations.

 

Launched in 2017, AmazingTalker aims to make it easy for anyone to learn through technology. It uses algorithms to match students and tutors precisely and efficiently within a few seconds. It provides an interactive learning environment that supports independence for both teachers and learners. Students can communicate their needs directly with prospective tutors without a binding contract or long-term payment obligation.

 

From a tutor’s perspective, the platform widens the pool of prospective customers, and the core value is to enable them to maximise their earning potential by setting their fees independently. It also generates insights through data analysis of user behaviour to help tutors continuously improve the quality of their teaching services.

 

AmazingTalker plans to use the latest investment to grow its business in Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, Europe and North America. It currently serves more than a million people across 190 countries in Europe, the Americas and Asia. It will also channel funds into recruiting global talent and growing the number of international users.

 

“It is our goal to become the world’s largest online tutor matching platform,” said Abner Chao, Co-founder and CEO of AmazingTalker. “The injection of $15.5 million in Series A funding will help reinforce our product development efforts. We are expanding our offering to cover subjects beyond language and are recruiting experienced service providers in new fields. We look forward to helping more tutors maximise their earning potential and continuing to improve the online learning experience for all our users.”

Up to now, AmazingTalker has received more than 15 million fundings from investors, including  CDIB Capital,  JAFCO Asia, 500 Global and SparkLabs Taipei.

 

The global appetite for learning continues to grow. According to UNESCO, 470 million people will seek higher education over the next 15 years, a figure that far outstretches university capacity and that underscores the need for alternative learning sources. By 2026, the total global e-learning market is set to nearly double its 2019 level to close to $400 billion according to Statista.

 

About AmazingTalker

Senoko Energy Drives Sustainability Efforts With its First Virtual Cycling Event

Senoko Energy partners with Garmin Singapore and T-RECs.ai to host its inaugural virtual cycling event, Cycle for Change. Along with promoting a sustainable lifestyle of cycling amongst Singaporeans, the energy provider hopes to support renewable energy sources and reduce the city’s carbon footprint through offsetting carbon emissions and partnering with 14 eco-merchants to encourage more people to be conscious of their purchase decisions.

 

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 16 February 2022 – Looking to save the environment while burning off some calories? Senoko Energy’s virtual cycling event, Cycle for Change 2022, will take place from 10 March to 22 April and will help you and your family and friends get your heart rate up, have some fun and reduce your carbon footprint!

 

Cycle for Change is an extension of Senoko Energy’s #TakeCharge initiative, which is the energy provider’s ongoing commitment to reduce carbon emissions, support renewable energy sources, and encourage sustainable lifestyles across households and corporates.

 

“As a company, we want to support and reward the efforts of households and corporations taking charge of everyday choices as part of Senoko Energy’s journey towards slowing down the impact of climate change for future generations,” said Mr Graeme York, CEO of Senoko Energy.

 

Promoting a Sustainable Cycling Lifestyle in Singapore

Singapore is pushing towards transforming the city state into a greener and more sustainable city by 2030. The city plans on tripling cycling paths from 460km to 1,320km – encouraging citizens to consider cycling as a mode of travel and to participate in green commutes. The COVID-19 pandemic also has seen many purchasing bicycles and cycling more regularly. Senoko Energy’s event gives Singaporeans further incentive to make changes to their lifestyle and habits to help conserve energy.

 

Acknowledging that the road to zero carbon emissions is not easy, Mr Graeme York said this event helps demonstrate how the conscious decisions of households and corporates making lifestyle and business changes can lead us on a path to significant emissions reduction.

 

Mr Edwin Shen, Community Manager of Garmin Singapore expresses in agreement, “Change can start small with our daily habits. As we return to offices after nearly two years of working from home, Garmin Singapore hopes that people will keep the positive lifestyle changes they have made since the start of the pandemic. Cycling fits so nicely into our day-to-day commute and we believe that Cycle for Change will help more people see that every pedal can go a long way.”

 

Eliminating Carbon Emissions with Cycle for Change

Cycle for Change aims to clock a total cycling distance of 1 million km. The completed distance will be converted into Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to support Singapore’s solar generation assets, eliminating 187,000kg of carbon emissions. In addition, Senoko Energy and T-RECs.ai will pledge to offset an additional three times more carbon emissions through the purchase of local RECs.

Mr Kang Jen Wee, CEO and Founder of T-RECs.ai said: “T-RECs.ai is a licensed verifier for a globally recognised RECs registry that safeguards against fraud. T-RECs.ai verifies the authenticity of RECs generation, which contributes towards the development of renewable energy sources. We are pleased to be supporting Cycle for Change in partnership with Senoko Energy, to raise awareness of using RECs to mitigate carbon emissions.”

 

Support local eco-merchants and take part in challenges to win prizes

Senoko Energy further sweetens the deal for participants by partnering with eco-merchants to offer up to 20% discounts and weekly free beverages along the routes. By also participating in the 14 challenges organised by Senoko Energy, riders can stand the chance to win attractive prizes. One such challenge, the “Workweek Biker” involves participants cycling to work or school every weekday.

Some rewards include a year’s supply of green energy worth $1,200 from Senoko Energy, Garmin smartwatches, as well as personalised RECs to celebrate winners’ rides, and challenge badges. To participate one simply has to register online, connect and activate their Strava account. Start pedalling your way to climate protection!
