Although increasing numbers of women in the EBRD region are earning graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, men still dominate the knowledge-intensive industries that draw on this talent pool. Gains by women entrepreneurs are even less evident in the knowledge economy in transition countries.
The panel discussion focused on impediments to female participation in the knowledge economy and ways to capitalise better on women’s potential as innovators, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.

Madame Marie Temple of Knowledge Marie Castello (May 25, 1915 – June 27, 2008), who was known as Madam Marie, was an American Fortuneteller and Psychic Reader who worked on the Asbury Park, New Jersey, Boardwalk from 1932 until 2008. Madam Marie was the longest running tenant on the Asbury Park Boardwalk.
Castello was a fixture in Asbury Park for decades, telling fortunes on and off at her tiny booth on the boardwalk which is nicknamed The Temple of Knowledge. She read the fortunes of celebrities ranging from Judy Garland to Bruce Springsteen. According to accounts, Castello reportedly told Springsteen that he would be a huge success. Springsteen later jokes that she told all her musician clients the same thing.
Springsteen mentioned Castello in his 1973 song, "4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)", which earned her a certain amount of fame among his fans. Springsteen wrote in the song's lyrics of Castello, "Did you hear the cops finally busted Madam Marie for tellin' fortunes better than they do." Castello was never arrested during her career, according to Asbury Park deputy mayor Jim Bruno. Bruno added that, "...Springsteen turned her into an icon." Also in his song Brilliant Disguise,in writing about his failing first marriage he sings, "As we stood at the altar the gypsy swore our future was bright, but come the wee-wee hours maybe baby the gypsy lied". Springsteen reportedly never forgot Madam Marie and often visited her when he was back in Asbury Park. "He always comes by to say hello...He knows where he came from," Castello told the Asbury Park Press in a May 2008 interview with reporter Bill Handleman.
The project envisages the involvement of disadvantaged groups both in the processing of organic waste, but also by planting trees on unused areas in the region.

Jimmy Wales Visit Korea.
Jimmy Donal "Jimbo" Wales (born August 7, 1966) is an American Internet entrepreneur known for his role in the creation of Wikipedia, a free open content encyclopedia launched in 2001. He serves on the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation, holding the board-appointed "community founder" seat. In 2004, he founded Wikia, a privately owned free web hosting service.
Although Wales has long been cited as the co-founder of Wikipedia, he disputes the "co-" designation, asserting that he is "the sole founder of Wikipedia". With others, Wales laid the foundation for Wikipedia's rapid growth and popularity.
The success of the project helped popularize Web 2.0, a trend in web development that aims to facilitate creativity, collaboration, and sharing among users. As Wikipedia expanded and its public profile grew, Wales took on the role of the project's spokesperson and promoter through speaking engagements and media appearances.
His work with Wikipedia, which has become the world's largest encyclopedia, prompted Time magazine to name him in its 2006 list of the world's most influential people.Wales is the de facto leader of Wikipedia, whose role in the project has gained broad media attention and has led to controversy.

The last time we saw Him it was the 3rd of July, so He must have been following the light for 12 days by now. But we're getting back here right in time to see an important moment. He suddenly saw this huge tree in front of Him and thought: "Great, this is probably the famous Tree of Life! But what if it is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? Well, I knew that so much light coudn't cause anything but trouble." How will He ever know which is which?

If you want to know how it all started, you can watch it here, but I wouldn't give a damn if I were you.

The interesting thing about knowledge is that we all have it. It's not something only certain people have. However, what makes knowledge so unique and exciting is when someone has the need to share what they know. David here has that. Not only have I learned so many random things from him, but I've enjoyed it! He tells me things i've never known before and now I find myself sharing that information to others now as well! So, Thank You David!
