Depois de mais um ano de sucesso, a empresa começará a fazer parcerias com produtores de vinho em outros países além da França e da Itália

LONDRES, Jan. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Crurated, a comunidade de vinhos com sede em Londres, criada para conectar os conhecedores com os produtores de todo o mundo, anunciou hoje que a empresa arrecadou US $ 7,2 milhões de um grupo de investidores privados. O dinheiro será usado para desenvolver ainda mais a plataforma tecnológica, expandir as parcerias com produtores de outros países além da França e da Itália, e aumentar a participação geral no mercado em todo o mundo.

“O ano passado foi inovador e trouxe muito sucesso para toda a nossa equipe e para os produtores com os quais fizemos parceria”, disse Alfonso de Gaetano, fundador da Crurated. “Além de nos tornarmos a primeira comunidade de vinhos a oferecer vendas fracionadas de barris apoiadas pela tecnologia NFT, assinamos um contrato de distribuição exclusiva com a Charles Lachaux, aumentamos nossa lista para mais de 60 produtores e atraímos um público mais jovem de enófilos para a plataforma.”

A Crurated relata que 70% da sua base de membros tem menos de 45 anos de idade. E 35% dos membros têm menos de 35 anos, mais jovens do que a maioria dos compradores de vinho, que tendem a ter 45 anos ou mais. A equipe acredita que as parcerias diretas da Crurated com os principais produtores de vinho de todo o mundo, a abordagem inovadora de como o vinho é comprado na plataforma — compras/leilões de lotes tradicionais e vendas fracionadas de barris — bem como o uso de NFTs para validar a autenticidade de um vinho, está ajudando a aumentar o interesse pelo vinho entre um público mais jovem.

Além disso, a receita aumentou 214% no primeiro semestre do segundo ano em comparação com o primeiro semestre do primeiro ano. A associação aumentou 180% no primeiro semestre do segundo ano em relação ao primeiro semestre do primeiro ano, com um aumento de 400% no acumulado anual.

Crurated lève 7,2 millions de dollars pour apporter davantage d’innovation à la communauté des vignerons basée sur la blockchain et pour étendre sa portée sur le marché

Après une autre année prospère, la société commencera également à s’associer à des producteurs de vin au-delà de la France et de l’Italie

LONDRES, 17 janv. 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Crurated, la communauté londonienne de vignerons basée sur l’adhésion et conçue pour mettre en relation les connaisseurs avec des producteurs de classe mondiale, a annoncé aujourd’hui que la société avait levé 7,2 millions de dollars auprès d’un groupe d’investisseurs privés.

En outre, les recettes ont augmenté de 214 % au premier semestre de la deuxième année par rapport au premier semestre de la première année. L’adhésion a augmenté de 180 % au premier semestre de la deuxième année par rapport au premier semestre de la première année, et s’est accrue de 400 % depuis le début de l’année.

Disposable Vaping Devices Wreak Havoc On Our Global Ecosystem

Pure Labs Urges Government Entities to Put an End to This Major Source of Environmental Pollution & Youth Vaping

Disposable Vape Waste

Heavy metals, toxic chemicals, and residual nicotine from littered disposable vape devices leach into our soil and pollute our ecosystem and wildlife.

TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Not only are disposable vaping devices fueling the world’s ongoing youth vaping epidemic, these single-use plastic e-cigarettes are responsible for the growing, exorbitant amount of toxic waste plaguing our earth. As if it isn’t harmful enough that disposable vape products are purposely targeting our youth with brightly colored packaging, eye-catching branding, and appealing fruit & dessert flavors; the plastics, heavy metals, and lithium batteries that these devices are comprised of are now a leading source of environmental pollution.

Similar to what we’ve seen with combustible cigarette butts, littered disposable vaping devices are now a major source of contamination to our ecosystem, on a worldwide scale. The issue is not just the non-decomposable plastic casings we see scattered in the streets, on beaches, and in parks far too often. Disposable vaping devices also leach hazardous waste from their lithium batteries and heavy metals from their circuitry systems. The moment these toxic materials penetrate our environment, the corruption of our ecosystem and our wildlife begins. In addition to the harmful and toxic chemicals found in lithium batteries, these types of batteries are known to explode or start fires if disposed of improperly. Not to mention the illegal child labor associated with up to 30% of cobalt mining facilities responsible for sourcing the material used in lithium-ion batteries.

With disposable devices being the preferred method of vaping among our youth, it is no mystery why we are seeing as much e-cigarette pollution as we are today. A standard disposable vape pen only holds enough E-liquid to last a few days, causing the average user to cycle through approximately 2 to 3 devices per week. That’s a lot of waste! Every day, respective Customs entities are seeing thousands of palettes of these disposable vape devices enter from China. If we want to take action and do our part to mitigate the global environmental pollution crisis and the undeniable youth vaping epidemic, we need to stop the infection at its root – put an end to Chinese disposable vaping devices.

Volt Active Data Launches New Product for Capitalizing on Streaming Data

Active(SD) Will Enable Organizations to Easily Make Complex, Real-Time Decisions on Data Streams

BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Volt Active Data, the only no-compromise data platform built to support applications that require speed, scale, and consistency, today announced the launch of Active Streaming Decisions [Active(SD)], an ultra high-speed decision making engine that will allow companies to apply the power of the Volt Active Data Platform to problems that can’t be solved by other Kafka ecosystem products.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for companies to finally be able to easily add intelligent decisioning to Kafka data streams and thereby fully capitalize on the massive amount of valuable data that Kafka streams into systems,” Volt CEO David Flower said.

With its foundation in the already battle-tested and proven Volt Active Data architecture, Active(SD) ingests event data directly from Kafka topics as the data is created and where it’s created, tapping the power of machine learning and advanced analytics to uncover insights and make immediate, mission-critical decisions, which are then sent back to Kafka so an action can be taken while the data (and resulting action) is still relevant.

“The key is that Active(SD) allows companies to fully and affordably capitalize on the data speed and scale that Kafka enables, and that’s a huge advantage,” Flower said. “The resulting decisions, made in single-digit milliseconds, can unlock in-the-moment monetization opportunities, prevent revenue loss from fraud or intrusion, or reduce operational revenue erosion.”

While there are several choices to consume data from Kafka for further processing downstream, such as loading into a data lake or warehouse for offline processing and reporting, Active(SD) is the only product designed specifically to facilitate event-time, in-stream decisions in less than 10 milliseconds to proactively drive real-time actions, making it the fastest path from event to action for Kafka-powered applications.

About Volt Active Data

The Volt Active Data Platform enables companies to unlock the full value of their data and applications by making it possible to have scale without compromising on speed, accuracy, or consistency. Based on a simplified stack and an ingest-to-action layer that can perform sub 10-millisecond decisioning, Volt’s unique, no-compromises foundation gives enterprises the ability to maximize the ROI of their 5G, IoT, AI/ML, and other investments, ensure “five 9’s” uptime, prevent fraud and intrusion, deliver hyper-personalized customer engagement, and save on operational costs.

Volt Active Data lance un nouveau produit pour tirer parti des données de diffusion en continu

Active(SD) permettra aux organisations de prendre facilement des décisions complexes en temps dans les flux de données

BEDFORD, Massachusetts, 17 janvier 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Volt Active Data, la seule plateforme de données « sans compromis » conçue pour prendre en charge les applications qui nécessitent de la vitesse, de l’évolutivité et de la cohérence, a annoncé aujourd’hui le lancement de sa solution Active Streaming Decisions [Active(SD)], un moteur de prise de décision ultrarapide qui permettra aux entreprises d’appliquer la puissance de la plateforme Volt Active Data à des problèmes qui ne peuvent être résolus par d’autres produits de l’écosystème Kafka.

« C’est une formidable opportunité pour les entreprises qui seront enfin en mesure d’ajouter facilement un système de décision intelligent aux flux de données Kafka et de tirer pleinement parti de la quantité massive de données précieuses que Kafka transmet aux systèmes », a déclaré David Flower, PDG de Volt.

Fondé sur l’architecture éprouvée Volt Active Data, Active(SD) ingère des données d’événements directement à partir des rubriques Kafka, à mesure que les données sont créées et à l’endroit où elles sont créées, en exploitant la puissance de l’apprentissage automatique et de l’analytique avancée pour recueillir des informations et prendre des décisions de manière immédiate et stratégique. Ensuite, ces informations sont renvoyées à Kafka pour qu’une action puisse être réalisée pendant que les données (et l’action qui en résulte) sont encore pertinentes.

« Le point le plus important est que la solution Active(SD) permet aux entreprises de capitaliser pleinement et de manière abordable sur la vitesse et l’échelle des données offertes par Kafka. C’est un énorme avantage », a déclaré Flower. « Les décisions qui en résultent, prises en quelques millisecondes, peuvent débloquer des opportunités de monétisation sur le moment même, prévenir les pertes de revenus dues à la fraude ou à l’intrusion, ou réduire l’érosion des revenus opérationnels. »

Bien qu’il existe plusieurs façons d’utiliser les données de Kafka pour un traitement ultérieur en aval, comme le chargement dans un entrepôt ou un lac de données pour un traitement et un rapport hors ligne, Active(SD) est le seul produit conçu spécifiquement pour faciliter les décisions en temps réel, dans le flux de données, en moins de 10 millisecondes, afin de mener des actions proactives en temps réel, ce qui en fait le chemin le plus rapide de l’événement à l’action pour les applications optimisées par Kafka.

À propos de Volt Active Data

La plateforme Volt Active Data permet aux entreprises de débloquer entièrement la valeur de leurs données et de leurs applications en rendant possible la mise à l’échelle sans compromis sur la vitesse, la précision ou la cohérence. Basée sur une pile simplifiée et une couche ingestion-à-action capable de prendre des décisions en moins de 10 millisecondes, la base unique et sans compromis de Volt donne aux entreprises la possibilité de maximiser le ROI de leurs investissements 5G, IoT, AI/ML et autres, d’assurer un temps de bon fonctionnement « cinq 9 », de prévenir la fraude et l’intrusion, d’offrir un engagement client hyperpersonnalisé ainsi que d’économiser sur les coûts opérationnels.
