Sol Chelada Launches in the U.S.

CHICAGO, Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Sol, the beer founded in the heart of Mexico in 1899, is bringing an iconic Mexican flavor to fans and new drinkers with the introduction of its newest release, Sol Chelada. Releasing in the U.S. this month, Sol Chelada is a ready-to-drink mix that combines Sol beer with tomato, lime, spices and other natural flavors. Crafted by the same brewmasters behind the number one chelada in Mexico, Sol Chelada finally brings the same flavor to the U.S. that has previously been enjoyed south of the border.

Sol Chelada Launches in the U.S.

Sol Chelada packs an uncompromising authentic flavor because it’s crafted with Sol, one of the largest and most popular Mexican beer brands. The combination of beer with the ingredients that constitute the chelada is traditionally known as a mezcla (blend). At 3.5 percent alcohol by volume, Sol Chelada arrives a year after the Mexican import Sol was relaunched in the U.S. under MillerCoors.

“Beer drinkers have been asking us to bring Sol Chelada to the United States for quite some time,” said Danielle Rappoport, MillerCoors marketing director. “We are proud to introduce a convenient, savory and refreshing chelada mix that fans and new drinkers can enjoy.”

Sol Chelada is available in 24-ounce single cans at most grocery, convenience stores and liquor stores nationwide and will be supported with online video, social media, digital advertising, PR, influencer programming and out-of-home displays.

Perfect Water for the Caribbean – Zero Mass Water Unveils SOURCE Hydropanels in Jamaica

Zero_Mass_Water_SOURCE_Water

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — How does a hospital maintain continuous access to its most precious resource? Zero Mass Water has the answer: SOURCE Hydropanels that use only sunlight and air to make high-quality, resilient water.

The Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator was formed by Caribbean leaders in 2017 to strengthen the region’s readiness and response to disasters. The Accelerator’s objective is to create the globes’ first climate-smart zone to transform Caribbean economies with investment opportunities that support climate action. Zero Mass Water’s SOURCE Hydropanels attracted the attention of the University Hospital of the West Indies’ (UHWI) Pediatric Ward. Looking to provide high-quality water while supporting Jamaica’s pioneering efforts as one of only a handful of countries to have banned single-use plastics, the Hospital eagerly joined the ranks of communities worldwide taking their drinking water off-grid with the renewable water technology.

“We’re excited about the impact of this hospital project, our first in partnership with the Accelerator,” says Zero Mass Water Founder and CEO Cody Friesen, “This array of SOURCE Hydropanels is providing clean, resilient drinking water to staff and patients, and represents the impact we have across the broader Caribbean.”

Installed on the Hospital’s rooftop, the Hydropanel array produces up to 3,000 liters of water per month. This installation is the first of several arrays Zero Mass Water will complete through its partnership with the Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator.

Until now, communities in Jamaica lacked good options for water access. With the island’s water infrastructure often deemed too old and ineffective –Jamaicans often turn to bottled water as their primary supply, contributing to the nation’s plastic waste troubles. Recent water lock offs in Jamaica have left institutions, like UHWI, to seek better solutions.

SOURCE Hydropanels make, mineralize, and deliver high-quality drinking water by converting moisture in the air, representing a new choice for water that is both waste-less and reliable.

“A first step in building resilience is having access to clean drinking water after a disaster. The elegance in this solution is that it provides that facility while also displacing plastic water bottles that are contributors to our climate challenge. Zero Mass Water’s delivery of an innovative solution to our most vulnerable is an example to others, it embodies the kind of partnerships most desired by the Accelerator,” said Sir Richard Branson, Virgin Group Founder.

Zero Mass Water’s SOURCE Hydropanels are available for purchase and have been installed for homes and communities across the Caribbean.

About Zero Mass Water

Zero Mass Water’s mission is to make drinking water an unlimited resource. SOURCE is a Hydropanel that creates drinking water simply from sunlight and air – made possible by the combination of thermodynamics, materials science and controls technology. Zero Mass Water puts the power of safe, high-quality water production into the hands of every person in nearly every climate and corner of the world. Zero Mass Water is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Texas housing market breaks record for home sales, median price in 2018

Texas Association of Realtors logo.

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For the fourth consecutive year, the Texas housing market continued to break records in home sales and median price, according to the 2018 Texas Real Estate Year in Review report released today by Texas Realtors.

Texas Association of Realtors logo.

“The unprecedented real estate market activity in Texas in 2018 is a testament to the state’s business-friendly atmosphere and strong economy,” said Tray Bates, 2019 chairman of Texas Realtors. “It’s worth noting, though, that the rate of sales and price increases has cooled off a bit compared to prior years.”

Home sales across the state increased 1.7 percent in 2018, with 344,030 homes sold. This is a smaller increase than the 4.1 percent, 4.5 percent and 4 percent increases of 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Median home prices increased 4.4 percent from the year prior to $232,900. However, similar to the number of home sales, the increase in median home price was lower than the 6.2 percent, 7.7 percent and 7.1 percent increases of the past three years.

Jim Gaines, Ph.D., chief economist with the Real Estate Center at Texas A&M University, explained, “Despite another record-breaking year in the Texas housing market, home sales activity around the state slowed due to continued shortages in housing inventory and increased interest rates. We’re anticipating this will affect new home construction in 2019 due to the cost of land, shortage of labor and increased turnaround time for permitting.”

Housing inventory across the state increased 0.2 months to 3.3 months of inventory in 2018. According to the Real Estate Center, a market balanced between supply and demand has between 6.0 and 6.5 months of inventory.

Homes spent the same length of time on the market in 2018 as in 2017: an average of 58 days. Active listings statewide increased 1.4 percent from 2017 to 2018.

Chairman Bates concluded, “The availability of entry-level homes priced under $200,000 has decreased 13.5 percent since 2015. Due to high demand for housing in most areas of Texas, our inventory levels are critically low, and housing affordability remains a challenge. Texas Realtors will continue to work with state leaders in this current legislative session to support measures that make homeownership attainable for more Texans. Realtors will also continue to protect Texans’ property rights and support all facets of the real estate industry as a smart investment for Texans for years to come.”
