Blue Magic nurtures more Japanese cuisine chefs via e-learning programme
KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Bernama) -- Blue Magic Inc has developed an e-learning programme, japanese-cuisine.com to teach culture and techniques of authentic Japanese cuisine, in conjunction with the Japanese Culinary Academy.
Slated for a worldwide launch today, the programme is aimed at contributing to the future of Japanese cuisine and food culture, offering opportunities to learn the techniques involved in that cuisine and culture anywhere in the world.
The materials are structured in ways that allow users to watch videos and learn techniques, one by one, that form the basis of Japanese cuisine.
The initial curriculum was created by the academy, with the best chefs in Japan as instructors.
This curriculum also adheres to the guidelines established on April 1, 2016, by the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries, to certify culinary skills for Japanese cuisine outside of Japan.
The programme covers all the knowledge and skills needed for the Bronze Certification within that government-established guideline system.
Initially, lessons will be available in English and Mandarin, with plans to support other languages over the course of the programme.
An e-commerce site is scheduled to be launched early next month to sell the culinary equipment needed to learn Japanese cuisine techniques.

New Zealand´s UniMed records excellent Credit Ratings - AM Best
KUALA LUMPUR, July 12 (Bernama) -- AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A (excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of ‘a’ of Union Medical Benefits Society Limited (UniMed), New Zealand.
The stable outlook of these Credit Ratings reflects UniMed’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best has categorised as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management.
The company’s balance sheet strength is underpinned by risk-adjusted capitalisation that is categorised as strongest, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio, reflecting its low underwriting leverage and conservative investment approach.
UniMed has a five-year average combined ratio of 94 per cent (2014-2018). Prospectively, AM Best expects UniMed to maintain strong operating results, supported by steady premium growth, adequate product pricing and robust investment returns.
It is a small-sized not-for-profit insurer with a market share of less than four per cent in New Zealand’s health insurance industry based on 2018 gross written premiums, according to a statement.
UniMed’s membership count is expected to increase gradually over the medium term, driven mainly by its newly launched retail offering and a recent portfolio transfer from The Education Benevolent Society Incorporated.
AM Best is a global rating agency and information provider with a unique focus on the insurance industry. For more information, contact www.ambest.com.

PURECIRCLE NAMES NEW TOP ADDITIONS TO ITS COMMERCIAL TEAM TO HELP FURTHER FUEL ITS GROWTH
New Heads of Marketing and Customer Service Join the Company
CHICAGO, July 10 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Having solved the challenges of taste and supply, PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the leading global producer and innovator of stevia sweeteners, is now better poised than ever to help beverage and food companies reduce sugar without using artificial sweeteners. To further maximize that growth potential, PureCircle is enhancing its commercial team:
Alina Slotnik joins the company as its new Vice President of Global Marketing. She most recently led global marketing at Glanbia Nutritionals, a provider of nutritional solutions for food and beverage companies. She formerly worked at Johnson & Johnson, Baxter International and Forest Laboratories. She is a proven and skilled marketer.
Eric Emmerick joins the company as its new Vice President of Customer Service and Supply Chain. He was most recently global customer care director for the UOP division of Honeywell, a leading international supplier and licensor of process technology, equipment and services. He formerly worked at Georgia Pacific. He brings valuable customer service and logistic strengths to PureCircle.
Dave Gallagher, who has been Vice President Key Accounts at PureCircle, takes on the new and expanded role of Regional Vice President North America. Dave is one of the world’s most experienced and knowledgeable sales executives in the area of sweeteners. He has been with PureCircle for nearly a decade, having joined the company from Tate & Lyle.
Commenting on these changes:
PureCircle CEO Maga Malsagov said:
“Alina, Eric and Dave, in their new positions at PureCircle, further strengthen our company’s talented team and will help us capitalize on our growth opportunities. As the global leader in stevia, we are fortunate to be able to attract top talent to our company.”
Stephane Ducroux, Chief Commercial Officer of PureCircle noted:
“This is an exciting and important time for PureCircle. We at PureCircle have solved the issues around the taste of stevia and can now supply significant amounts cost effectively to our customers. We have a strong commercial team, and Alina, Eric and Dave in their new roles will make our team even stronger.”
The global demand for stevia is growing, as beverage and food companies increase use of the plant-based zero-calorie sweetener. PureCircle supplies stevia sweeteners and other ingredients to many of the world’s top beverage and food companies. It also works with smaller companies helping them formulate with stevia. Partnering with PureCircle gives beverage and food companies access to the best-tasting stevia ingredients and helps them respond to consumers’ desire for more low- and no-sugar products, sweetened without artificial sweeteners.
By way of background, the story of stevia is evolving. Not long ago, it was viewed as a plant-based, zero-calorie, single-ingredient sweetener which worked well in some beverage and food applications. Today we offer a range of next generation stevia leaf sweeteners, including Reb M and D, which taste great and work well across multiple categories. These sweeteners help beverage and food companies increase their offerings of zero- and low- calories products without sacrificing taste.
Recent PureCircle advances have enabled the company to significantly boost production of our next generation stevia sweeteners – like Reb M and Reb D — which have the most sugar-like taste and are highly sought after by beverage and food companies. This means PureCircle is able to supply stevia sweeteners in the amounts customers need as they expand use of stevia – and is able to do that cost effectively for them.

About stevia
- Given the growing global concerns about obesity and diabetes, beverage and food companies are working responsibly to reduce sugar and calories in their products, responding to both consumers and health and wellness advocates. Sweeteners from the stevia plant offer sugar-like taste and are becoming an increasingly important tool for these companies.
- Like sugar, stevia sweeteners are from plants. But unlike sugar, they enable low-calorie and zero-calorie formulations of beverages and foods.
- Stevia leaf extract is a natural-based, zero calorie, high-intensity sweetener, used by global food and beverage companies as a great-tasting zero-calorie alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners.
- Stevia is a naturally sweet plant native to South America; today, it is grown around the world, notably in Kenya, China and the US.
- The sweet-tasting parts of the stevia leaf are up to 350 times sweeter than sugar: stevia's high-intensity sweetness means it requires far less water and land than sugar.
- Research has shown that the molecules of the stevia leaf are present and unchanged in the dried stevia leaf, through the commercial extraction and purification process, and in the final stevia leaf extract product. All major global regulatory organisations, across 65 countries, have approved the use of high-purity stevia leaf extracts in food and beverages.

SMARTSTREAM PUBLISHES PAPER HIGHLIGHTING THE IMPORTANCE OF MANAGING INTRADAY LIQUIDITY TO GENERATE REVENUE
LONDON, July 10 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- SmartStream Technologies, the financial Transaction Lifecycle Management (TLM®) solutions provider, today released a white paper to inform financial institutions of the regulatory pressures imposed on intraday liquidity requirements. This has now moved beyond reporting positions to actively managing and controlling intraday liquidity, all in an effort to reduce costs and increase profitability.
The white paper titled: ‘Intraday Liquidity Management: From a costs discussion to a revenue opportunity’ - explores the benefits that can be realised by financial institutions when they transform intraday discussions from an operational burden into adding true business value. It also analyses how institutions can leverage next-generation technologies like Cloud, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to achieve the goals of real-time, active management of global intraday liquidity.
Nadeem Shamim, Head of Cash and Liquidity Management, SmartStream, brings over 30 years of experience in the industry, comments: “While this may seem to be another exercise in regulatory compliance, active intraday management offers a competitive advantage in the changing regulatory landscape. It provides added benefits to both banks and their customers. In the past, intraday liquidity management was a nice to have, but this has moved to a ’must have’ and the trend is to optimise the management of intraday liquidity, from a cost perspective to a potential revenue generating exercise. This typifies the kind of discussions we are currently having with our customers on a daily basis”.
The paper reviews the regulators’ views and the monitoring tools available, including stress testing scenarios. Additionally, the value drivers suggest that whilst meeting regulatory obligations is undoubtedly front and centre for most financial institutions, the ability to manage liquidity intraday and to stress test liquidity demands are not simply a matter of regulatory interest. There are considerable business optimisation opportunities that can come from having a strengthened intraday liquidity framework. Finally, the paper discusses the current status of where banks are now with their monitoring of intraday liquidity.
