ZAR Sponsoring South African Chef's Village With Warm Regards at Hostex Launch of the Maggi Premium sauce range 1 Nestlé Professional achieves business milestone in debut partnership with Nando's Nestlé Professional has received the "go ahead" to implement the Nescafé Milano Café Style Beverages Solution and its Beverage Acceleration Programme (BAP) as the Global Strategic Coffee Solution of Choice at Nando's restaurants. Nando's is a fast-casual and quick-service restaurant (QSR) group originating in South Africa (SA), with over 1,100 outlets in 34 countries. It is home to the Legendary Flame Grilled Peri Peri Chicken. The agreement to implement the Nescafé Milano Solution began on 1 June 2010, with a 90-day test in 20 high volume sites across SA, to prove the concept. In addition, the Nescafé Milano Café Style Beverages Solution will also be implemented in 55 stores in countries throughout the AOA region. Should the 90-day trial prove successful, an additional 250 stores will be implemented in SA and the solution will be introduced into remaining stores in various countries across the AOA region. Lastly, the concept will be introduced as from Quarter 4, 2010, in the key markets of Oceania (270 stores), the United Kingdom (225 Stores) and North America (35 Stores), in the context of a 5-year global agreement. The New Nescafé Milano Solution Nescafé Milano is a professional dispensed coffee solution that delivers a variety of Café Style Beverages to Out-of-Home (OOH) commercial restaurant customers. The solution was developed by the R&D team at the Nestlé Professional Beverage Centre, working closely with the PTC in Orbe. Milano leverages Nestlé’s patented turbo-chamber dispensing technology to deliver perfect crema on an espresso, the perfect milk froth on a capuccino as well as beautifully layered lattes. The solution also leverages our manufacturing know-how to produce new mid-yield extraction soluble coffee, improving end-cup quality. 2 AOA Quarterly June 2010 Milano reduces restaurant operational complexity by dispensing high quality café style beverages consistently, time and again. It provides operators with the opportunity to customise coffee beverages on the spot. As a result, restaurateurs are trading up to capture the added value consumers are willing to pay for a premium cup of coffee. The solution creates competitive gaps generating two revenue streams: the sale of product and the sale of an exclusive fully integrated service programme. The Nestlé Professional BAP delivers a range of value-added services with the express aim of enabling customers to capture and accelerate incremental same-store sales growth. How it all began After a brief initial contact with the Nando's senior management in November 2009, a follow up meeting was arranged at the Nestlé Professional Beverage Centre in February 2010. A team from the Nestlé Professional Beverages Commercial Unit at the Centre, the AOA region and the SA market decided that even though Nando's was aggressively seeking roast and ground coffee, the time was right for Nestlé Professional to introduce the new Nescafé Milano Solution and its BAP. On 6 and 7 April 2010, the team, presented Nando's with Nestlé Professional proprietary industry insights, focusing on unique accelerated growth opportunities in coffee beverages. This was followed by a compelling pitch on how the Nescafé Milano Solution and its BAP could deliver against key industry drivers to accelerate Nando's entry into the premium coffee beverages arena. The group was then invited to experience a creative coffee beverages menu developed specially for Nando's, addressing their consumer's specific coffee needs. The comprehensive presentation was attended by the entire Nando's management team including their Chairman, CEO, their executive board and senior personnel. The Nando's team were inspired by the new Nescafé Milano solution and its BAP, quickly understanding its value, making it their Global Coffee Solution of Choice. In less than 60 days since receiving the green light, Nestlé Professional has worked tirelessly to develop, refine and implement the new Nescafé Milano and its BAP. The system is now installed, commissioned and launched at 20 high volume Nando's sites in SA as part of the agreed 90-day test, just in time for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Marc Caira, Chief Executive Officer at Nestlé Professional said, "This initiative is a truly exciting opportunity for our business. We have created a lighthouse to guide our markets into the future - a clear example of what can be accomplished for all to see". Michiel Kernkamp, Head of Global Branded Beverages at Nestlé Professional added, "The Nando's relationship has enabled us to work hand in hand with a customer to validate the BAP, a premium 10-point fully integrated service package we sell alongside our products. This now provides our markets with a clear way forward on their journey to becoming a valued driven service partner". The first steps - The South African trial The Nestlé Professional team in SA worked to very tight time-lines. In fact, from the day the dispensing equipment and products arrived in the market, the team had exactly one week to deliver, install, train and commission the new Nescafé Milano systems at 20 participating Nando's locations in Johannesburg, 3 AOA Quarterly June 2010 Durban and Cape Town. The South African team completed the installation with just 4 hours to spare. When asked to comment on the initiative, Barend Minnaar, Country Business Manager at Nestlé Professional SA said, "The concept is already delivering a strong market presence for the new Nescafé Milano Solution in major centres across the country. Our team has done a tremendous job and continues to work hard to ensure we execute promotional plans flawlessly and make the trial a resounding success". The initial feedback from Nando's and their franchisees has been overwhelmingly positive. Jeff Rakusin, President of Nando's trading said, "We are delighted to serve your new Nescafé Milano premium café style beverages at our restaurants. In fact, this morning, I received a report from one location in Cape Town which has gone from no coffee sales to 185 cups in the first three days of the programme. We are truly delighted with the response we are getting from consumers and particularly pleased to have the support of such a great global partner as Nestlé Professional to ensure the projects' success".

[Den Haag] 1977 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/nara001dalb01_01/colofon.htm © 2007 dbnl / Jit Narain 3 Ten geleide Taal is van oudsher het belangrijkste kommunikatiemiddel: in de intermenselijke kontakten dient zij ter overbrenging van o.a. gedachten, gevoelens en gewaarwordingen. Poëzie is één van de subtiele ekspressievormen van mensen die de taal op een specifieke manier hanteren. Literatuur is voor elk volk een belangrijk kultuurgoed. De uitgave van deze gedichtenbundel is een verrijking van de Surinaamse literatuur. De bundel Dal Bhat Chatni betekent een stuk nationale trots, omdat hierin door Surinamers een deel van het eigene herkend wordt, waardoor de eigen identiteit en waardigheid meer reliëf krijgen. Deze gedichtenbundel maakt om tweeërlei redenen deel uit van de Surinaamse literatuur. De auteur is een Surinamer en heeft in het Nederlands en - bewust - in het Sarnami geschreven. De keuze van het Sarnami impliceert het verlate begin van een positieve waardering van deze Surinaamse taal. Deze gedichtenbundel is het produkt van een maatschappelijk engagement, waarbij de maatschappij-kritische boodschap van de dichter een primaire plaats inneemt. De sociale geëngageerdheid van de dichter blijkt uit zijn keuze van de thema's en zijn affiniteit met de landbouwers. Zijn maatschappij-betrokkenheid komt duidelijk tot uiting in het Arui-gedeelte. Is de arui slechts een inspiratiebron voor hem of identificeert de dichter zich ook daarmee? Deze plant stelt in bodemkundig en klimatologisch opzicht geen hoge eisen, en toch is het een voedingsgewas, dat ondanks de kontraprestatie die het levert, in het algemeen - ook door boeren - ondergewaardeerd wordt en nog steeds de status van een semi-kultuurplant bezit.

  • Rice and Koreans: Three Identities and Meanings
    Rice and Koreans: Three Identities and Meanings Hahm Hanhee Hahm Hanhee (Ham, Han-hui) is Professor of Anthropology at Chonbuk National University. She received her Ph.D. from Colombia University in 1990. She has authored several books and articles, including A Cultural History of the Kitchen (2005) and “Korean Culture Seen through Westerners’ Eyes” (2003). E-mail: [email protected]. (Abstract) 영어 단어 250 자 내외의 초록을 작성해 주시기 바랍니다. Introduction This study considers the distinctive Korean cultural concepts regarding rice. In the minds of Koreans, rice does not exist as a single object. There are at least three different identities within the single physical conceptual category of rice, such as mo and byeo (young plants),1 ssal (hulled rice), and bap (cooked rice). Koreans are often confused by the English term “rice” since, by the use of such a word, rice is simplified into a single object through the Western classification. This linguistic difference between English and Korean is also directly related to the fact that each language speaker understands the object(s) in a different way. Unlike in English, the articulations of rice in Korean have been meticulously developed to describe rice in terms of growing, producing, and cooking, a differentiation that grew naturally out of the fact that rice cultivation has long been the basis of the Korean livelihood. Nonetheless, the studies on rice in Korean scholarship have uncritically drawn upon the analytical framework developed by English speaking scholars who consider rice to be a singular entity. There are countless studies about rice but few have clearly reflected ordinary Koreans’ concepts of rice.
