MELBOURNE, Australia, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Project Fiasco, a social enterprise with the goal of helping the environment, has started a crowdfunding campaign to publish a collection of love themed short stories called ‘Love Stories from Around the World’.

The unique feature of this project is that supporters of the campaign can contribute their own stories to be included in the book. Backers can also send love notes to their special someone, in addition to pre-ordering the book.

«We thought this book would be a fun way to raise money to fund our environmental projects. You not only get to read uplifting stories, but you also have the interactive option of contributing your story which will be published in the book. The bonus is that you will be helping fund cleaning beaches and planting trees,» explained Cynthia Weeks, founder of Project Fiasco. 

Project Fiasco was launched March 1, 2020. Project Fiasco is committed to use least 50% of its profits to fund «pollution solutions». Currently, it is funding a women’s NGO in Rabat, Morocco, to undertake tree planting and beach cleaning. These projects are funded through the sales of an environmentally themed series of children’s books written by Cynthia and beautifully illustrated by Bilal Cinar; this new book will complement the existing collection.

«I am humbled and inspired by the amazing women in Morocco, and I am so pleased at any small contribution that Project Fiasco can make by using our profits to fund their work,» Cynthia said.

The crowdfunding campaign is currently live on Indiegogo and lasts until March 15th, 2021: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/love-stories-from-around-the-world.

«Last year was a tough year for everyone but now that there is light at the end of the tunnel, we tried to think of a new idea to lift contributors’ and readers’ outlook and to encourage our backers’ creative spirits to publish their stories. There are no real guidelines – just tell us what you love and from anywhere around the world, in 10 to 1,000 words – and know in addition to having fun, you are contributing to fund pollution solutions,» Cynthia added.

Hawai’i Life Reports Record-Breaking $2.17 Billion In Real Estate Sales As Hawai’i Luxury Home Sales Jump 26 Percent In 2020

HANALEI, Hawaii, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Hawai’i Life, the only statewide, locally owned and operated, full-service brokerage, today releases its 2020 <a target="_blank"…

HANALEI, Hawaii, Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Hawai’i Life, the only statewide, locally owned and operated, full-service brokerage, today releases its 2020 Hawai’i Luxury Market Report and announces its best year on record. Despite the extraordinary events of last year, Hawai’i’s luxury property sales increased by 26.25 percent in volume over the previous year as Hawai’i Life’s luxury market share grew substantially. The combined dollar value of Hawai’i Life’s luxury sales transactions—defined as homes and residential land priced above $3 million—more than doubled, and the company’s total sales at all price points soared from $1.6 billion in 2019 to $2.17 billion in 2020.

«This past year has certainly highlighted the incredible value we place on our homes, community and sense of place – both intangibly and in very real numbers,» said Matthew G. Beall, Hawai’i Life CEO and Principal Broker. «I’m proud of our team’s ability to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing marketplace and evolving consumer demands.»

Hawai’i Life represented 15 percent of the total buyers and sellers of luxury property in Hawai’i in 2020. Market activity strayed wildly from the familiar pattern of most years. The first quarter set the stage for a powerhouse year, and then sales activity slowed in the second quarter as the pandemic spread and travel halted. The latter half of 2020 witnessed unprecedented sales velocity with the fourth quarter alone accounting for 43 percent of all Hawai’i’s luxury real estate sales – totaling nearly $844 million.

While overall luxury sales by dollar volume dropped on O’ahu and Maui in 2020, trading in the luxury price segments on both Kaua’i and Hawai’i Island increased substantially over the previous year. Highlights of statewide sales in 2020 include:

  • Kauai‘i recorded 38 sales above $3 million with seven sales above $10 million, reaching $273.3 million in total sales. The highest sale was a $36.75 million North Shore estate in Hanalei, listed and sold by Hawai’i Life.
  • Hawai’i Island recorded 107 sales above $3 million with six sales above $10 million, reaching just shy of $586 million. The highest sale was a $37 million Kuki’o estate.
  • O’ahu recorded 128 sales above $3 million with five sales above $10 million, totaling almost $621.8 million. The highest sale was an $18.7 million oceanfront estate in Kailua.
  • Maui recorded 90 sales above $3 million with six sales above $10 million, for a total of $478.6 million. The highest sale was a $24 million Kapalua home, listed by Hawai’i Life.

With low inventory in the single-family residential market expected to continue for several more years, Hawai’i Life anticipates an uptick in the luxury condominium sector with townhomes and detached condominiums leading the way. The company expects the upcoming year to closely mirror 2020. A mild increase in visitor activity is predicted in the summer and fall with foreseeable demand from foreign buyers coming once the vaccine reaches a certain global distribution threshold.

A dwindling number of quality homes available for sale at the high-end may be one of the market’s biggest challenges in 2021. The company encourages its clients to begin working with their broker well ahead of any planned purchase or sale and to act decisively when opportunities present themselves. As a continuous market leader in luxury sales, Hawai’i Life has demonstrated its ability to adapt to shifting consumer demands, and utilize advanced tools and technology to reach new audiences globally.

On the heels of its benchmark sales year – and 12th year in business – Hawai’i Life has joined Forbes Global Properties, a new, curated consumer marketplace that connects luxury buyers directly to best-in-class properties and the high-performing agents representing them. Hawai’i Life was hand-selected as one of Forbes Global Properties’ founding members and the exclusive brokerage for the state. Hawai’i Life will leverage Forbes’ worldwide reach and audience of more than 140 million monthly visitors to provide an additional platform for the company to introduce more discerning buyers, sellers, and real estate aficionados to its luxury listings around the state. 

For additional information on Hawai’i Life, and to access available listings, please visit: hawaiilife.com.

Hawai’i Life remains the only statewide, full- service brokerage firm that is 100% locally owned and operated. Hawai’i Life is the exclusive Hawai’i brokerage of  Forbes Global Properties™ and is one of Luxury Portfolio International’s® global network of premier, locally branded real estate companies.

PUERTO RICO, 10 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Las personas anhelan estar en comunidad, por ello, KitchenAid anuncia a Honey como el Color del Año 2021. Por medio de este color, la marca pretende, a través de sus tonos cálidos con un trasfondo dorado y anaranjado, irradiar positividad y calidez, plasmado en su icónica batidora de pedestal Artisan, ideal para experimentar la dulzura que nace de la unión. 

En una época en la que estamos más conectados que nunca en el mundo digital y la dependencia a la interconectividad aumenta, fomentar relaciones significativas se ha convertido en una tarea muy compleja. Investigaciones demuestran que mantener las conexiones con los seres queridos se ha convertido en una prioridad de los consumidores.  Cuando nos reunimos en la cocina y en la mesa, las interacciones van más allá de lo digital, y la conexión humana real se restablece. Por ello, el color Honey es un recordatorio de que juntos podemos fortalecer nuestras comunidades, fomentar la armonía y permitir que la dulzura de la humanidad emane.

«La miel no es sólo un producto que usamos en recetas de la gastronomía internacional, es una invitación a conectarnos y un recordatorio que la alegría proviene de la unidad. A través de Honey, la marca ofrece al mundo una nueva forma de vincularse sobre la creación de platillos, mientras que aporta un toque extra de calidez en la cocina», mencionó Jonathan Bellante, director de Marketing Global de KitchenAid.

Gracias a Color of the Year, KitchenAid analiza, interpreta y, sobre todo, difunde los rasgos culturales de sus consumidores a través del poder del color. Además, la marca mantiene su liderazgo entre sus consumidores mediante esta iniciativa que comenzó en 1955 con su primer producto a color.

«Honey es el resultado de un análisis exhaustivo de la coyuntura social y cultural del mundo, ya que en KitchenAid Global Center of Design observamos un creciente instinto comunitario por trabajar en conjunto para el bien colectivo. Adicionalmente, los tonos cálidos y llamativos dominaban en diversos ámbitos de la vida, por ello, lo vemos desde el hogar hasta la moda», finalizó Jessica McConnell, directora de Whirlpool Color, Finish & Material Design.

Los apasionados de la cocina también podrán adquirir la batidora de pedestal Honey, así como una amplia gama de electrodomésticos como licuadoras de alta generación, procesadores hasta refrigeradores, a través de la nueva plataforma online www.kitchenaid.pr, con el fin de hacer más placentera su experiencia de compra.

New Age Meats Announces another $2M in Seed Extension prior to Series A

BERKELEY, Calif., Feb. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — New Age Meats («NAM»), a cultivated and plant-based meat startup in Berkeley, CA with an initial focus on pork, announces an additional $2M in Seed extension, adding to funds raised post-Seed announced late last year. In total, the company has raised $7M and now turns its sights towards a Series A in the coming months.

The additional funds allow New Age Meats to continue construction of a team experienced in bringing products from inception to mass market. Hires over the last year include not just bioengineers with product development and scaling experience, but also a food team featuring key Impossible Foods alumni. NAM reports that their first products, pork sausages and dumplings, replicate the taste, aroma, and mouthfeel of conventional pork better than any product currently available.

«Ultimately, we will fail if our products are too expensive and low volume to be served anywhere but luxury restaurants,» says Brian Spears, the company’s CEO. «We’ve focused relentlessly on driving down the cost and scaling production of our product: hybrid cultivated and plant-based meat that doesn’t sacrifice on flavor. We want to make the world a better place by making the better decisions easy. We are well on our way to bringing that vision to market after our upcoming Series A.»

«As we continue to ramp up to market, we strategically brought on investors aligned with our short and long term growth,» Spears continues. «This round includes a very large, significant industry player in Asia who for now must remain confidential. Additionally, Peter Rahal’s Litani Ventures has joined. His experience with RXBAR, from founding to exit, is invaluable as we navigate to become the largest meat company in the world.»

Other investors in the round include follow-on investments from ff VC, SOSV, and Innovating Capital, as well as new investments by San Diego Tech Coast Angels, BeniVC, Oceanic Partners, Deep Ventures, and Climate Capital.

About New Age Meats

Embedded in their ethos is the desire to positively impact the world, with the mission of building a more sustainable supply of protein for the planet.

Además del apoyo nacional a través de la Línea de Ayuda Su Familia de la Alianza (1-866-783-2645) y las campañas de información bilingüe, la Alianza anunció que el grupo inicial de comunidades que serán atendidas por la Red de Vacunas son: (California) Los Ángeles, Oakland, San Diego, San Ysidro y Watsonville; (Colorado) Denver; (Florida) Miami y Orlando; (Georgia) Atlanta; (Illinois) Chicago; (Nebraska) Omaha; (Nueva York) Bronx; (Pensilvania) Kennett Square; (Texas) Brownsville, Dallas, El Paso y San Antonio; y (Washington) Pasco.

«Todos debemos hacer nuestra parte y apoyarnos mutuamente. Lo más importante es que todos nos vacunemos cuando seamos elegibles y sigamos prácticas seguras, como «Las Tres M» que se centra en los pasos básicos para protegernos: usar una máscara, mantener la distancia y lavarse las manos. Juntos responderemos y nos recuperaremos de la pandemia del COVID-19 y seremos una comunidad y una nación más fuerte y conectada», concluyó el Dr. Delgado.
