Driving Change: Gender-Responsive Practices in Business
Driving Change: Gender-Responsive Practices in Business brought together distinguished figures from business, politics and leading research institutes. The panellists discussed the growing need for companies to innovate and embrace diversity within their organisation and their customer base in order to remain competitive in times of economic turbulence, both at home and internationally.
Award Ceremony -
Since 2005, the discussion panel has been followed by a Women in Business awards ceremony. The 2015 awards were presented to three winners from the EBRD region who have proved to be the most advanced in applying gender diversity measures in their businesses.
This year the discussion panel and awards ceremony was complemented by a signing ceremony for the EBRD’s Women in Business programme in the Eastern Partnership countries. Local financial institutions signed letters expressing their interest in participating in the programme, which combines finance and advice for women-led small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The programme will be launched in Georgia in 2015 as part of a regional drive that will benefit more than 2,000 women entrepreneurs.

PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. - The 641st Regional Support Group, an Army Reserve logistics and transportation brigade based in St. Petersburg, Fla., conducted a Best Warrior Competition and Officer Challenge Jan. 24 at Patrick Air Force Base, Fla.
Both competitions took place during the final full day of Operation Responsive Sentinel, a sustainment training and disaster relief field exercise comprising approximately 20 units and 900 Soldiers. Resolve Sentinel's operational and tactical missions at Port Canaveral, Patrick AFB and the Air Force's Malabar Transmitter Annex offered numerous opportunities for the troops to apply their military and civilian skills to plan, organize and execute objectives on land and sea.
The Best Warrior Competition featured six enlisted Soldiers representing several companies and battalions attached to the 641st RSG. The half-dozen men and women faced off in a various warrior-oriented tasks ranging from a written exam and sergeants major interview board to a ruck march and a rifle and pistol qualification round.
The top two competitors will represent the 641st RSG in the 143d Sustainment Command
(Expeditionary)'s Best Warrior Competition planned for March 9-13 at Camp Blanding, Fla.
While specialists and sergeants shot, sang, ran and marched their way to the finish line, scores of junior officers formed at Patrick AFB's Education and Training Center to test their strength, dexterity, memory and morale in the 641st RSG's officer challenge. Teams of five officers competed at six unique
stations spread along a six-mile route. The challenge began with map reading and rank recognition events, continued with casualty evacuation scenario and a ethical dilemma, and concluded with a physical challenge and rifle marksmanship.

Faidha Suleiman, Superintendent of Police, Gender and Children Desk.
In 2014, UN Women partnered with the Gender and Children Desks to improve the quality of services provided. At the Sitakishari station, survivors of gender-based violence and violence against children are received, interviewed and assisted in a gender-responsive, professional and gender-sensitive manner.
While the Gender and Children Desk tackles criminal cases, when the officers receive civil cases, they refer the victims to appropriate services.
“In this desk we take criminal cases, civil cases are not part of our mandate. But we don’t leave the victims alone,” explained Faidah Suleiman, Superintendent of Police, Gender and Children Desk. “We listen to them, we refer them to the right person and we call them. Sometimes we escort them to the right place and follow up on how far those cases are going.”

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The Temco Model 63 "Buckskin" trainer was designed by Texas Engineering & Manufacturing Company (TEMCO) as a private venture to replace the US Navy's piston-engine, land-based Beech Model B45 'Mentor' primary trainers in the mid 1960ies, but with better performance and more likeliness to modern jet fighters.
The Model 63’s forerunner, the Temco Model 51, had been initially proposed to the US Air Force in response to an Air Force competition for a jet-powered primary trainer, which was eventually won by the Cessna T-37 Tweet. A small number of the Model 51 were built and put into service, powered by a Continental Motors J69-T-9 (a license-built Turbomeca Marboré) jet engine and officially designated TT-1 ‘Pinto, but only saw a limited career.
Like the Pinto, the Model 63 was a mid-wing, tricycle landing gear trainer with an enclosed cockpit. What made the Model 63 unusual was a pull/push tandem engine arrangement, similar to the Cessna 336/337 that was under development at the same time. The Temco Model 63 was driven by two small Turbomeca Bastan IV turboprop engines, each developing 650 shp (485 kW).
The rationale behind this layout were the compact dimensions, actually, the aircraft was not bigger than the single engine TT-1. Studies undertaken during the early design stages had shown that a classic layout with wing-mounted engines would have necessitated a considerably higher wing span and a longer fuselage, too. Another benefit was the improved safety of two engines, esp. during envisioned long navigation flights over the open sea, and the Bastan engines gave the Model 63 the ability to fly safely even with one of the engines shut down.
Compared with the TT-1’s small jet engine, the propellers gave the Model 63 a better responsiveness to pilot input and the turboprop engines offered a very good fuel economy, while enabling almost the same performance as the single jet precursor. Furthermore, the two engines gave instructors the option to simulate different flight regimes, while the tandem arrangement helped avoid torque and asymmetrical thrust issues. Besides, the T2T was equipped with many of the same features found in contemporary operational jets, including ejection seats, liquid oxygen equipment, speed brakes, along with typical flight controls and instrument panels.
Anyway, the unusual layout came at a price: it necessitated a totally different tail section with twin tail booms and a single, high stabilizer connecting them at the tips of the fins. Despite familiar outlines, only parts of the TT's outer wings and the cockpit could be used on the Model 63 - the rest had to be re-designed and/or strengthened, so that the aircraft's overall weight became markedly higher than the TT's. Despite this drawback, officials became interested enough in the turboprop trainer program to procure a pre-series for trials and direct comparison with jet- and piston-engine alternatives.
The aircraft received the official designation T2T. Like the Pinto, the T2T was intended as a primary trainer, so it carried no internal armament but could be outfitted with wing tip tanks and had two underwing hardpoints for 500 lb each, placed outside of the strengthened landing gear. These hardpoints were reserved for auxiliary tanks, cargo boxes, smoke generators or camera pods.
The first XT2T maiden flight took place in summer 1959. Flight characteristics were considered good, and, compared with the earlier TT-1, the machine was not as underpowered (which was a problem during landing abortions and touch-and-go manoeuvers). After initial tests with two more prototypes in summer 1960, a batch of five YT2T-1 pre-production aircraft, which were updated to the intended serial production standard and incorporated some minor modifications, was ordered and directly sent to the Naval Air Test Center (NATC) Patuxent River.
Results were generally positive, so that a further batch of 24 aircraft were produced as T2T-1s between 1962 and 1963. These aircraft served in the Air Training Command at Pensacola, Florida and used in a training program demonstration testing the feasibility of using jet- and turboprop-powered trainer for primary flight training.
The tests were not conclusive, though, and no further T2Ts ordered. The 'Buckskin', how the aircraft was christened unofficially, was pleasant to fly and offered very good performance. But the aircraft was – esp. for its limited role – complex. Maintenance costs were high, and the authorities were never really happy about the French engines on board of the home-grown trainer type.
The US Navy liked the turboprop engine, though, but wanted a less complex aircraft. This eventually materialized in the early Seventies with the T-34C Turbo-Mentor. After a production hiatus of almost 15 years, the Beech Model 45 returned, powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-25 turboprop engine. Mentor production restarted in 1975 for deliveries of T-34Cs to the USN and of the T-34C-1 armed version for export customers in 1977, this version featuring four underwing hardpoints. Since the late 1970s, T-34Cs have been used by the Naval Air Training Command to train numerous Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers for the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, and numerous NATO and Allied nations - and the small T2T fleet was phased out by 1979.

The kit and its assembly:
The final entry for the 2016 "In the Navy" Group Build at whatifmodelers.com, and a close call since I started work on this conversion only 5 days before the GB's deadline!
The original inspiration was the photoshopped picture of a private TT-1 in all-blue USN markings, created by artist "Stéphane Beaumort" in 2010 (check this illustration originally posted at AviaDesign: aviadesign.online.fr/images/temco-buckskin2.jpg).
A slightly bizarre aircraft with the tandem propellers and the twin tail booms, and IMHO with some fishy details in the CG rendition, e.g. including the idea of driving both propellers with a single engine through shafts and gearboxes. But the concept looked overall feasible and Special Hobby offers a very nice TT-1 Pinto kit, which I was able to procure from Poland an short notice. As a bonus, this kit comes with markings for this specific, blue aircraft (“13/S”), actually a re-constructed, privately owned machine.
The Special Hobby kit became the basis for my personal interpretation of the T2T, and it underwent some conversions, being outfitted with a variety of donation parts:
- The front engine once was a cut-away Merlin from a Hobby Boss Hawker Hurricane
- The tail booms and fins come from a Revell Focke Wulf Flitzer
- The stabilizer was created from two Hobby Boss He 162 tail elements
- Propellers come from a vintage, box scale Revell Convair Tradewind
- In order to attach them, styrene tubes were implanted and the props mounted on metal axis’
- The front wheel also belongs to a Hobby Boss He 162, longer than the OOB parts
- The main wheels are bigger, from a Matchbox Folland Gnat
Work started with the central fuselage, the added front engine and conversions for the rear pusher engine. Once the wings were in place and the propeller diameter clear, attachment points for the tail booms were scratched from styrene tube and added to the wings' upper sides (leaving the lower surface free, so that the OOB landing gear could be used). Then the tail booms and the tailored stabilizer were mounted, as well as the wing tip tanks.
The landing gear came next; the main struts and covers were used, but slightly bigger wheels chosen from the scrap box. For the front wheel well, a "hole" had to be dug out of the massive new nose section (consisting of 2C putty and lead beads) - the OOB covers were used, though, and a longer and more massive front wheel was mounted.
Sounds simple and conclusive, but things evolved gradually and the job involved a lot of body work - under dire time pressure. The fact that the kit fell from my workbench after day #2 and hit the floor in a nasty angle, so that the tails suffered severely and needed repair, did not help either...
Another issue became the canopy. I am not certain where the problem lies, but the canopy turned out to be 2mm too short for the fuselage? Could be the result of the massive rhinoplasty with the added front engine, but I am also a bit worried about the position of the cockpit tubs – when I mounted them, the appeared to be in the correct position, but once the fuselage was closed both seat positions appear to be too far to the back – even though the dashboards seem to be correct?
Painting and markings:
I used the CG drawing as benchmark, also because the Special Hobby kit came with the right decal set for an all-blue USN livery, which historically was about to be changed in the late Fifties to brighter schemes.
The interior surfaces, both cockpit and the landing gear, were painted in a very light gray (FS 36495, Humbrol 147), just as on the real world TT-1. All outside surfaces became Sea Blue FS 35042 (ModelMaster). Very simple, and some panel shading with was done for a more dramatic look on the otherwise uniform airframe.
The silver leading edges on wings and stabilizer, as well as the yellow canopy framing, were created from decal strips. The propeller spinners became, as a small highlight, bright red, and some of the OOB sheet’s red trim for “13/S” were used, too. No more weathering was done, and, finally, everything sealed under a coat of gloss acrylic varnish, except for the propeller blades and the black anti-glare panel, which became matt.
An odd creation, and taking into account the four and a half days time frame from sprues to beauty pics (including background research and text), as well as the body work involved in the building process with the new front engine and the tail booms, I am quite happy with the result. Could have been better, sure, but it was finished in time, just as planned/hoped for. ;)
Anyway, the T2T looks interesting; my build slightly differs from the benchmark CG renditions, but remains true to Stéphane Beaumort’s basic idea. Cheers!
Chardonnay - The white grape of Burgundy, and probably the most familiar white wine name to savvy Chinese speaking wine lovers and consumers. In Burgundy, the name of the grape generally does not appear on the label-only the place where it was grown (e.g. Meursault, Puligny Montrachet, etc.). It is also the grape of Chablis, where it's habit of early ripening puts it at risk for Spring freezes and hailstorms. It is responsive to a wide variety of wine-making techniques, and use in Champagne as well.
Of recent, there has been a trend towards winemakers putting Chardonnay fully through a secondary, malolactic fermentation, producing a wine that is often fat and rich. In Burgundy, by contrast, Chardonnay produces white wines of great power, but also of great acidity and crispness. It usually maintains a high level of alcohol, and the tremendous diversity of Chardonnay winemaking styles across the globe make wines from this grape one the most interesting and popular varietals.
If Chardonnay was the theme of the play, Pinot Noir played its best supporting role with Burgundy Marsannay and Kiwi Pinot Noir which cheered your palate hoarse with stark distinct characteristics. You will read more about our flavorings in the below English published tasting notes on 酒友 (Jiu You) 品酒记录) forum.
Despite the higher rate of non-attendance at the onset of this highly anticipated event, The King of Whites / 白葡萄酒之皇品酒会 held on Friday 24.10.2008 was deemed a success where the group learnt, shared and sipped together. On behalf of Singapore 酒友, both myself and the ever present team would like to thank you all for your support and participation, and also the support of Singapore's Richfield Brands & Services, a provider of wine storage services and fine wines, including exceptionally hospitality. Not forgetting the best of the best White Chicken Rice with richly sauced and textured grains plus revitalizing fine coffee at the end of the program.
The full compliment with additional photos/images with full Chinese Translation will be published on the main page at a later date.
2004 Picardy Chardonnay 庇卡底酒庄
Australia, Western Australia, Pemberton
13.5%. 100% Chardonnay from Burgundian clones 76, 95, 96 and 277, also referred to as Bernard clones. The last bottle coming from my cellar, after surrendering some precious to Singaporean wine lovers Gary Ong and Weng Thong. Delicate aromas of intense green fruit, butter menthol and clove spice and oak. Medium-bodied, classy with releases of cream, lemony acid and melon with a short dry finish. As compared to previous tasting, it lacks sense of freshness and vibrancy. Drink by 2008.
2002 François Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Charmes 酒厂家; 弗朗索瓦-约巴
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune
A 5 hectares family estate run by Father Jobard and son Antoine. Francois Jobard owns sites in some of the most desirable vineyards of Meursault, En la Barre for village wine and a trio of Premier Crus from Charmes, Genevrieres to Poruzots. Traditional winemaking still persists here. Winemaker Jobard abhors the excessive use of new oak and extended lees stirring which he feels merely serve to flatter the wines when young, yet add little to their long-term ageing potential. The wines of Jobard, one of Meursault's finest is known to be graceful and steely and display astonishing mineral intensity and finesse. Only 2,000 cases is produced annually.
13.0%. 100% Meursault Chardonnay. Charismatic butterscotch with dominating honey malt aroma. Apart from its front acute acidity, it is medium-bodied, creamy, with mineral laced chalk and slate bitterness, but one dimensional. Short woody dry finish. Drink between 2008 to 2010.
2002 Domaine Francois et Antoine Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Genevrières
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune
13.0% Meursault Chardonnay. A very pleasant and floral nose. On the palate, medium to full-bodied with concentration and integration, with pear and mineral, rounded sweet acidity, and a much needed and better medium finish. Very tasty. Drink from 2008 to 2012. Good stuff.
2001 Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay Art Series 露纹酒园
Australia, Western Australia, Margaret River
14.0%. Australia Chardonnay. Intense and aromatic with oak induced butterscotch aroma. A superb full-bodied white wine, with restrained ripe citrus, melon and pear flavors, weighty and acute acidity, and a lovely medium to long finish. Drink from 2008 to 2014.

13.0%. 100% Belgium Chardonnay. Extremely fresh like a face blown with sea breeze. Has clarity and cleanliness on the nose. Medium-bodied, this exotic wine robs your senses with notes of pear, melon-like sweetness, its acidity amazes with balance, grip and finesse. Good long and clinical finish.
2006 Millton Riverpoint Chardonnay 米尔顿酒庄
New Zealand, North Island, Gisborne
Hmm an estate which believes in En Primeur for its wines. Poor white, served after some of Australia and Burgundy finest white examples. 12.5%. 100% New Zealand Chardonnay. Is it a Sauvignon Blanc? At first sniff it was. A Medium-bodied combining long crisp acidity, with grapefruit and light gooseberry flavors. Simple and one dimensional.
2005 Auntsfield Heritage Pinot Noir 酒母场
New Zealand, South Island, Marlborough
Press sample. 14.5%. 100% New Zealand Pinot Noir from 100 year old vines. At least 12 months in French oak. The wine is only made in exceptional years from this 28 hectares 18th century estate by brothers Ben and Luke, who recently reestablished themselves with its first planting in 1998, commercial release in 2003. An exceptional living example of just how good Pinot Noir may impress you from New Zealand. Fresh and fleshy with subtle spice and hedonist version of dark raspberry and black cherry. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe yet balanced acidity, layered with rustic cherry texture and a long dry finish. Drink from 2008 to 2018. I hope Barney, and the rest were pretty aroused by this rich wine, from the second helpings where pours went on and on ... till a full stop to it.
2002 Philippe Roty Marsannay Champs Saint Etienne 菲利普-柔弟酒庄
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Marsannay
A humor-filled special wine which relates how a wine lover will never retire from buying, especially if this offering was priced at an irresistible value which made buyer(sss) splurge and sip. 13.0%. 100% Burgundy Pinot Noir from 40 to 50 year old vines. Mature and aromatic red cherry spiced with pepper and tea. Well integrated, this balanced Medium-Bodied wine humbugged us with its delicious and clean cherry scent, plus a sustained medium finish. If Tze Moh was with us, he would have remarked, "Sibeh Ho" ... Drink from 2008 to 2009.

Scaled Composites ARES - Model 151 - sn 90001 - N151SC
----------------------------
AGILE RESPONSIVE EFFECTIVE SUPPORTS (ARES)
The ARES, Scaled Model 151, was designed initially in response to a U.S. Army request for a Low Cost Battlefield Attack Aircraft (LCBAA). A design study was performed by Rutan Aircraft Factory in 1981 for such an aircraft. Its mission goals were low-altitude, close air support, with long endurance, and with adequate field performance to operate from roads.
Scaled followed up with the concept, and ultimately decided to build a demonstrator aircraft with internal funds. The ARES first flew on February 19, 1990. ARES has flown more than 250 hours, and demonstrated all of its design performance and handling qualities goals, including departure-free handling at full aft stick. During November of 1991, tests of the GAU-12/U gun system installed in ARES were performed, with outstanding results.
Movie buffs may also remember the ARES in its role as the secret ME-263 jet in the screen classic Iron Eagle III.
