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.

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.”

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.

Why has the solution for advancing gender diversity not been found yet?
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.

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.

The New Haven Oyster Tonging Sharpie, found docked alongside the Thomas Oyster House, evolved from the early dugouts and skiffs that were used for oystering before the 1820s. Sharpies originated on the Connecticut shore of Long Island Sound as a refinement responsive to both changing needs and advancing technology. Tongers had to travel farther away for oysters as the beds near home became exhausted and they needed better sailing boats. Inexpensive, shallow and easy to handle, the larger sharpies rigged as cat ketches proved popular not only with Connecticut tongers, but with the oystermen in the Chesapeake and southern Atlantic coast as well.
The sharpies were shoal draft, flat bottom, centerboarders that were fast sailers and could be easily sculled when not under sail. At the height of their development, the sharpie had a two-masted rig, such as the one found in the Museum's collection. The round stern and balanced rudder is very typical, although the square stern was common. The centerboard was often a piece of oiler iron pierced with about three rows of large circular holes at the top.
When working the oyster beds in well-protected harbors and bays, the sharpie was anchored by poles aft and forward ends, and was steadied with a bushel basket hanging off the stern. The tonger stood on the side deck working with 12 to 15 foot tongs -- scissor style -- to gather a load and drop it into the boat. Up to 100 bushels of oysters could be tonged by one man in one day. A 35' sharpie worked by a two-man team could carry up to 175 bushels of natural growth oysters.
Built c. 1890 by Lester Rowe of Fair Haven, Connecticut, for Sherman Chipman of Fair Haven, the New Haven Sharpie arrived at Mystic Seaport on December 16, 1947.
