A Special night tribute to Luciano Pavarotti Placido Domingo & Jose Carreras:
Two legendary superstars will be on stage for a dream-come-true performance in Japan. It was on the eve of the world-famous soccer event in 1990 at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome that the first joint performance by the three world-renowned tenors, Domingo, Carreras and Pavarotti, took place. The tenor trio then went on a world tour, which ended in 2003. And now, 20 years later in Tokyo, Japan, Domingo and Carreras will once again have a miraculous collaboration in a concert dedicated to Pavarotti.
 
Message from Placido Domingo
"I would like to tell the audience that I am waiting for everyone to spend an evening of music together with Jose Carreras and with the extraordinary Armenian soprano Nina Minasyan, remembering with great affection and enormous admiration our dear Luciano."

CONAGEN EXPANDS INNOVATIVE NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS PORTFOLIO WITH DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-PURITY SULFORAPHANE

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 30 (Bernama) -- Conagen has announced the development of its 99 per cent high-purity sulforaphane, expanding on its portfolio of innovative nutritional products through biotechnology.

Made by a proprietary bioconversion technology, the company plans to begin the commercialisation path in 2023, according to a statement.

Conagen’s bioconversion methods enable the production of sustainable products from many naturally occurring compounds regardless of rarity or small quantities occurring in nature.

“As a supplement product, Conagen’s high-purity sulforaphane is appealing to consumers as the levels found in raw vegetables are too low to realise many of its promising health benefits.

“Through Conagen’s bioconversion technology, we’re uncovering the great potential in sulforaphane as a powerful active health ingredient for consumers who are personalising nutrition to support health functions,” said senior vice-president of innovation, Casey Lippmeier, Ph.D.

Found in cruciferous vegetables including arugula, bok choy, and broccoli, sulforaphane has been associated with supporting health benefits against cancer, diabetes, digestion, and heart disease and promoting cognition.

With biotechnology and biomanufacturing advancements, much like Conagen’s bioconversion technology, more nutritional offerings are produced at a high-quality and global scale.

Conagen’s sulforaphane is ideal for non-GMO supplement solutions to formulate products with a sustainable and natural consumer appeal. More research is emerging for understanding the optimistic effects on multiple health functions.

In 2021, the company received more than 200,000 applications, extending just 1,455 offers while seeing a 92 per cent acceptance rate across the board, alongside continuously low attrition rates.

“We’ve been consistently committed to hiring and retaining top talent. Investing in our team is investing in our innovation engine, and I’m proud of our empowered team’s work in helping to build a better Internet,” said co-founder, president and chief operating officer Michelle Zatlyn in a statement.

The rankings and results were determined after surveying more than 1.4 million employees from businesses with workforces varying in size from 50 to more than 10,000 employees. 

The top 100 companies were evaluated then ranked based on employee survey responses, analysis of external public ratings, direct interviews and responses from company officials, and additional research on each company as conducted by Newsweek.
