Reduce, Reuse, Recycle And … Refill — SeaWorld Designs New Conservation-Minded Cup To Interact With Coca-Cola Freestyle

SEAWORLD PARKS & ENTERTAINMENT LOGO

SEAWORLD PARKS & ENTERTAINMENT CUP THAT CARESCustom Technology Engages Guests on a Personal Level

This penguin-shaped cup may look cute and cuddly, but it has a noble purpose: encourage guests to help the planet, one refill at a time.

In conjunction with SeaWorld(®) Orlando’s epic new attraction and ride Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin(TM) opening Memorial Day weekend, SeaWorld has created the Cup That Cares(TM)– a new reusable cup program with a twist of technology. The innovative, interactive cup was designed specifically to connect with Coca-Cola Freestyle(®) beverage dispensers in the new realm.

The new Cup That Cares engages guests in a personalized manner to reuse materials and reduce their carbon footprint. An RFID chip embedded in each Cup That Cares interacts with software at Coca-Cola Freestyle(®) dispensers to calculate and tell guests how they are being more environmentally responsible by choosing to reuse.

Plus, SeaWorld will donate $1 from each Cup That Cares purchase to the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens(®) Conservation Fund, a not-for-profit foundation that helps protect wildlife around the world.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Technology embedded in the Cup That Cares calculates the amount of CO2 each guest saves from entering the atmosphere when they choose to reuse the cup for refills at Coca-Cola Freestyle machines in Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin. With each refill at the designated machines, exclusive software developed by Coca-Cola and SeaWorld serves up an onscreen message that is customized to that guest’s Cup That Cares history.  The message thanks the guest for choosing to reuse, tracks how many refills the Cup That Cares has been used for, and calculates the running total of CO2 the guest has saved from entering the atmosphere.

Each refill with a reusable cup prevents the emission of approximately 27 grams of CO2.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE:

There are two options, both available exclusively in the new Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin attraction at SeaWorld Orlando:

Cup That Cares(TM) souvenir reusable cup – available at the two beverage stations inside the attraction for $9.99 – is adorned with photos of Puck(TM) and his penguin family. Puck is  the hero penguin character featured throughout the new realm.

Create A Cup That Cares(TM) – Guests may build their own personalized penguin-shaped character cup by choosing from more than 40 accessories such as eyes, hair, glasses, hats, bow tie, necklaces and even miniature Shamu® ice cream bars and SeaWorld shopping bags. The Create A Cup That Cares will be sold in the Antarctica gift shop, and includes a free first fill at the nearby Antarctica beverage stations. Create A Cup That Cares experience starts at $15.95 with the option to add accessory items.
“Just as penguins do within their colonies, humans also can band together to make a big difference through small actions,” said Dan Brown, Chief Operating Officerof SeaWorld, Discovery Cove and Aquatica Parks. “We see great potential with this new program because it encourages guests to be more aware of their actions – and reduce their carbon footprint — in an easy, fun and innovative way. Each step may be small, but it all adds up when we work together.”

Refills throughout the park for both Cup That Cares options are $.99 each.

PLUS — NEW custom Coca-Cola flavor served up only at Antarctica

The Cup That Cares concept was developed in partnership with the park’s beverage partner Coca-Cola, whose Coca-Cola Freestyle dispensers offer guests more than 100 different beverage brands.  Also only in Antarctica, Coca-Cola Freestyle will offer an all-new, vanilla-infused choice — South Pole Chill(TM).

The biggest expansion in SeaWorld’s history, Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin opens Friday, May 24 and combines a state-of-the-art family adventure ride with up-close encounters with hundreds of penguins – kings, gentoos, Adelies and rockhoppers.

2. Candidato brasileiro avança à próxima etapa de seleção na OMC

 

O candidato do Brasil à Direção-Geral da Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC), Embaixador Roberto Azevêdo, disputará a segunda rodada de consultas do processo de seleção para o cargo. Azevêdo foi um dos cinco candidatos preferidos pelos Países Membros da OMC na primeira rodada, ocorrida entre os dias 2 e 9 de abril.

 

O resultado foi anunciado nesta sexta-feira, 12 de abril, na sede da OMC, em Genebra. A “troika” responsável pela condução do processo, formada pelos Presidentes do Conselho-Geral (Paquistão), do Órgão de Solução de Controvérsias (Canadá) e do Órgão de Revisão de Políticas Comerciais da OMC (Suécia), realizou o anúncio ao Conselho-Geral da Organização, que reúne os 159 Países Membros.

 

Os outros candidatos selecionados para a próxima etapa são o sul-coreano Taeho Bark, a indonésia Mari Pangestu, o neozelandês Tim Groser e o mexicano Herminio Blanco.

 

A seleção do Diretor-Geral é realizada em três etapas. A segunda rodada de consultas deverá começar na próxima semana, quando será solicitada aos Países Membros da OMC a indicação de dois nomes, entre os cinco candidatos ainda na disputa, para a terceira e última rodada. O processo deverá ser concluído em maio, e o vencedor assumirá a Direção-Geral da Organização em setembro.

 

Representante Permanente do Brasil junto à OMC desde 2008, Roberto Azevêdo acumula mais de vinte anos de experiência em temas econômicos e comerciais e reúne as qualidades técnicas e políticas e a ampla experiência negociadora necessárias para um Diretor-Geral que assumirá suas funções a menos de quatro meses da Conferência Ministerial de Bali.
3. Homenagem à Música Brasileira – documentário ‘Com a Benção de São Jobim’*

*Informação de responsabilidade do Brasil Mais

 

Estreia do vídeo-documentário ‘Com a Benção de São Jobim’ será no dia 29 de abril

 

Com depoimentos especiais de Antonio Adolfo, Carlos Borges, Rose Max, Ramatis Moraes e Gene de Souza, entre outros, será lançado, no próximo dia 29 de abril, o vídeo-documentário ‘Com a Benção de São Jobim’, uma realização do Brasil Mais com o patrocínio do Consulado-Geral do Brasil em Miami. O filme, de 21 minutos de duração, retrata os desafios enfrentados por músicos brasileiros nos Estados Unidos, ao mesmo tempo em que examina o legado deixado por ícones que fizeram a nossa cultura ser reconhecida no exterior.

 

O trabalho produzido por Neusa Martinez (direção e edição) e Carlos Wesley (roteiro e apresentação), com o apoio dos cinegrafistas Fernando Vasconcellos e Marcelo Carlos, terá sua estreia no Cinema Paradiso, em Fort Lauderdale, na mesma sessão do documentário ‘Orgulho de Ser Brasileiro’, de Adalberto Piotto, como parte do Seminário Focus Brasil. Na ocasião, os músicos que participaram das filmagens estarão presentes no evento.

 

“Nosso objetivo foi mostrar que, apesar da força da Música Brasileira no exterior, os músicos brasileiros só garantem espaço neste disputado mercado com muita perseverança, criatividade, profissionalismo e, é claro, talento”, conta o jornalista Carlos Wesley, que entrevistou artistas de diferentes vertentes e gêneros musicais, como Bossa Nova, Chorinho e Samba, por exemplo.

 

A cooperação entre o Brasil Mais e o Consulado-Geral do Brasil em Miami é uma das vertentes da política de promoção no exterior da Cultura Brasileira. Além do vídeo-documentário sobre os músicos, a parceria rendeu ainda dois outros trabalhos: ‘Capoeira, Patrimônio Cultural Brasileiro’ e ‘O Ensino do Português Ganha Força’.

 

Para mais informações sobre o vídeo-documentário, entre em contato com Carlos Wesley (646-385-0671) ou Neusa (954-832-6494).

NEW YORK, Continuing its longstanding tradition of rich and creative collaborations, ABSOLUT(®) VODKA today announces its highly anticipated limited edition bottle design, ABSOLUT(® )MEXICO, available in the U.S. for the first time after its debut in Mexico last year. The release of ABSOLUT MEXICO is the latest limited edition offering from the world’s most iconic vodka brand and pays homage to Mexican culture and multicultural heritage.

ABSOLUT MEXICO features original ABSOLUT Vodka in a specially designed bottle that celebrates the spirit of Mexico.   Dr. Lakra combines three legendary icons from ancient Mayan culture – Hurakan (Hurricane), Kukulkan (Serpent) and Balam (Jaguar) – and brings them to life on the ABSOLUT bottle through a modern artistic lens that represents Mexico today.

“For ABSOLUT VODKA, no one was a better choice for our collaboration than Dr. Lakra, with his technique of weaving in the design of existing objects, and in this case, an ABSOLUT VODKA bottle,” said Maxime Kouchnir, Vice President, Vodkas, Pernod Ricard USA.  ”ABSOLUT MEXICO aims to further inspire cocktail lovers with the ABSOLUT brand, connecting the versatility of our vodka to the vibrant Mexican culture, which this design’s stunning effect does perfectly.”

ABSOLUT MEXICO is the perfect base for a variety of signature cocktails, including ABSOLUT SUECA and ABSOLUT LIMONERO.

“Snacking isn’t just about satisfying your appetite for something crispy and crunchy,” said Teresa Lindsey-Houston, Pringles Marketing Director. “Pringles Stix are as fun to play with as they are to eat, so share them with your friends, bring them to the party, and don’t be afraid to play with your food.”

As one of the few Pringles products to stray from the iconic oval shape of the original crisp, Pringles Stix provide that same great taste the brand is known for, with a fresh twist. With incredible crispiness, crunchiness, and a unique shape that is sure to provide a quick break from reality, these sticks provide a snack time experience you won’t want to miss. Available in an eight count box of single serve pouches or a 70-count resealable bag of sticks, Pringles Stix come in three deliciously different flavors: tasty Honey Butter, savory Pizza and yummy Cheese.

Furniture retailer Rooms To Go announced that it has entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with Sofia Vergara.The Sofia Vergara Collection will launch in Rooms To Go showrooms during Fall 2013.  It will initially be comprised of living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and accessories.  True to the retailer’s strategy, the Sofia Vergara Collection will be merchandised and displayed in complete room groupings designed to provide customers with inspiration, affordability and ease of shopping.

Named as one of the world’s most powerful Latinas by Forbes Magazine, Sofia Vergara is both a successful businesswoman and the only Hispanic actress to begin her career on a U.S. Hispanic network and successfully cross over to the general market. She can currently be seen every week on ABC’s twelve-time Emmy award-winning series, “Modern Family” and has starred in numerous films, including Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail, Smurfs, and Happy Feet. Sofia has been nominated three times each for the Golden Globe, Emmy and Screen Actors Guild awards for her role in “Modern Family.”

“I love beautiful furniture and am so excited to be working with Rooms To Go to create my own furniture collection!” said Sofia Vergara.  ”My relationship with Rooms To Go began over 15 years ago when I moved to the United States as a single mother, and furnished my first apartment entirely from their store.  I knew I could get high quality furniture that was both fashionable and affordable.  I’ve purchased new room settings from Rooms To Go since then; however, some of the original pieces are still in my family!  My collection will offer gorgeous contemporary designs with the same amazing quality and affordability I’ve always known from Rooms To Go.”

Founded in 1991 by Jeffrey and Morty Seaman, Rooms To Go has successfully changed the way America shops for furniture by offering innovative store design, outstanding customer service, incredibly stylish and affordable furniture together with industry leading finance offers and fast delivery.

“We are thrilled to have Sofia Vergara join the Rooms To Go family,” said Jeffrey Seaman, Chief Executive Officer of Rooms To Go.  ”She is a major star who truly strives to make a difference in the lives of many people.  She’s very interested in design and committed to working with us to market great products at extraordinary values.  The combination of Sofia’s style and our sourcing capabilities will result in a great collection.  Her sense of helping people find beautiful things that are also affordable is a perfect fit for us.  The fact that Sofia’s been a Rooms To Go customer for over 15 years makes our partnership even more perfect.”

In addition to her acting career, Sofia is a founding partner with Luis Balaguer of Latin World Entertainment, a 100 percent Hispanic-owned entertainment company serving the U.S. Hispanic market.  ”Rooms To Go is the perfect partner to extend the Sofia Vergara lifestyle brand into furniture,” said Luis Balaguer, president and CEO of Latin World Entertainment.   “Sofia wants women to feel good about the way they look and live.  Together with Rooms To Go, Sofia will provide beautiful and affordable furniture and accessories which will help women create an inviting home environment for family and friends.”

New Private Car Excursions Offer Added Land Luxury With Crystal Cruises In 2013

by

CRYSTAL CRUISES MONTE CARLO

Crystal Symphony in Monte Carlo, just one of 50 European ports in which Crystal Cruises will begin offering private car, driver, and guide excursions ashore this year.

Due to guest demand, beginning this spring, Crystal Cruises’ luxury travelers have a new and flexible private option for exploring Europe: their own car and driver, with local, English-speaking guide. The new private car or van offerings allow singles, couples and small groups (8 maximum) to fully customize time ashore upon arrival. While Crystal is launching the program in 50 European ports on Crystal Symphony Mediterranean cruises and Crystal Serenity Northern European cruises, the ultra-luxury line plans to extend the program to other destinations later in the year.
“Many of today’s luxury guests like to explore on their own, but don’t enjoy the hassle, time and questionable quality of searching for transportation and guides, as well as the aggravation of negotiating fees,” says John Stoll, vice president, land and port operations. “With our trusted transportation and destination expertise at their disposal, and by using fully licensed and insured companies, guests can tour independently with ease and safety, as well as be ultra-flexible should they want to follow a last-minute insider’s suggestion or just see how they feel in the moment.”

The program is the newest addition to a rapidly-expanding roster of Crystal Adventures shore excursion choices, including:

– Organized shore tours that range from special-interest adventures and
city overviews to very intimate only-with-Crystal Cruises Boutique
Adventures, and unique, high end Signature Collection experiences to You
Care, We Care voluntourism excursions.
– Private Options: For guests wanting to follow the same tour itinerary as
select Crystal Adventures, privately.
– Private Adventures: Ultra-personalized and fully customized to a guest’s
exact wishes in advance by Crystal, including itineraries, admissions,
meals, and transportation.
– Overland Adventures: Multiple-day excursions on land, further from port,
providing two to three days of intimate exploration ashore, with hotel
stays.
The new private car and driver services start at $270 per car, with guides speaking languages other than English also available upon request.

Crystal’s passion for creating exclusive, eye-opening luxury shoreside experiences are cornerstones of its Crystal Adventures program, helping earn the line top ratings for two decades.

For more information and Crystal reservations, contact a travel agent, call 888-799-4625, or visit http://www.crystalcruises.com.

De Retour! Viper set for Return to 24 Heures du Mans With SRT Motorsports

CHRYSLER GROUP LLC VIPERDe Retour! Viper set for Return to 24 Heures du Mans With SRT Motorsports

Two factory-supported SRT Viper GTS-Rs will compete in famous 24-hour endurance race in France in June

It’s official: Viper will return this year to the stage of some of its most impressive past road racing performances – the historic 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.

SRT Motorsports today accepted an invitation from the ACO (Automobile Club de l’Ouest) to field two SRT Viper GTS-Rs in the LM GTE Pro class of the 2013 24 Heures du Mans, June 22-23, officially returning the Viper sports car to one of the most prestigious automobile endurance races in the world.

The Viper finished one-two at the 24 Heures du Mans in GTS class competition three consecutive years – 1998 to 2000.

“Racing is truly a part of the illustrious history of Viper and a proving ground for the SRT brand,” said Ralph Gilles, President and CEO – Street and Racing Technology Brand and Motorsports, Chrysler Group LLC. “Historically the Viper GTS-R has enjoyed great success at Le Mans, so we couldn’t be more excited and proud to accept the challenge to return to France and continue composing the next chapter in the history of Viper racing at such an historic venue.”

Beth Paretta, Director of Marketing and Operations – SRT Brand and Motorsports, and SRT Motorsports driver Marc Goossens were on hand at today’s press conference in Paris to officially accept the invitation.

“The new SRT Viper GTS-R represents a rebirth for us in road racing by bringing an elevated level of technical sophistication to the track,” Paretta said. “The invitation to return to the 24 Heures du Mans gives SRT Motorsports and the SRT Viper GTS-R the opportunity to compete on a stage with the best sports car teams from around the world.”

SRT Motorsports teamed with Riley Technologies, based in Mooresville, N.C., on the design-and-build process of the SRT Viper GTS-R. Two identically prepared cars returned to competition last year at Mid-Ohio, the first of four test-and-tune races in preparation for a full 2013 schedule in the GT class in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) presented by Tequila Patron.

In addition to Goossens, drivers returning to the SRT Motorsports lineup for 2013 will be Tommy Kendall, Kuno Wittmer, Dominik Farnbacher and Jonathan Bomarito. Additional team announcements will be revealed at a later date.

The Viper’s successful racing heritage began in 1996 with its first racing entry, the original GTS-R, which earned five international GT championships and the 1997 to 1999 FIA GT championships in addition to the three consecutive one-two finishes at the 24 Heures du Mans in the GTS class.

The Viper posted an amazing overall win at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona in 2000 – the first for a production-based American car. Viper also captured GTS class and driver’s championships in ALMS competition in 1999 along with the series’ class, manufacturer’s and driver’s championship in 2000 before retiring from the series.

About SRT and SRT Motorsports
The Chrysler Group’s SRT (Street and Racing Technology) brand uses a successful product development formula featuring five proven hallmarks: awe-inspiring powertrains; outstanding ride, handling and capability; benchmark braking; aggressive and functional exteriors and race-inspired and high-performance interiors to remain true to its performance roots.

The SRT lineup in the 2013 model year features five vehicles that are world-class performance contenders and bring the latest in safety technologies and creature comforts. The Chrysler 300 SRT8, Dodge Challenger SRT8 392, Dodge Charger SRT8 and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 are joined by the SRT flagship Viper and Viper GTS models, which are making their highly anticipated return to the high-performance sports car market.

The engineering expertise within SRT extends well beyond its high-performance street vehicles. Technical support for the Chrysler Group’s various racing programs is provided by the astute engineers at SRT Motorsports, where lessons learned on the race track directly translate to improved vehicles for the company’s customers.

 brazil bannerThe Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) reports that around five babies are born per minute in Brazil. Taking into consideration this Brazilian market research, a middle-class family spends approximately US$3,000 for baby clothing alone for the first year of the child’s life.

In Brazil, the market for maternity, babies and children’s products and services is developing rapidly. For this reason, Brazilian manufacturers and suppliers are aware of this opportunity and they want to grasp and take hold of this niche market. They are now increasingly focused on launching specialized stores, offering products and services capitalizing on this market.

The megastore model, where the customer used to find all kinds of baby products in only one place, gave way to specialized companies such as baby furniture stores, baby clothing and accessories. This new shape of business is making the children’s market grow in all regions of the country, offering a distinguished service with a great value added to the product. Continue reading →
