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.

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.
2004 Wijnkasteel Genoels-Elderen Chardonnay Blauw
Belgium, Haspengouw
Planted with just Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this estate is named as the largest winery in Belgium with 16 hectares of vineyard.
Castle Genoels-elderen is with its 16 ha of vineyards the largest winery in Belgium.
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.
2003 Château Coutet 小档案
France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Barsac
Often rivaling and compared with its twin, Château Climens; this 16th century estate has a vineyard area extending 38 hectares with grape varieties of 75% Sémillon, 23% Sauvignon blanc and 2% Muscadelle. Near 5,000 cases is made annually.

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.

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.

To see the full video review click the link above
Recently Canon USA sent me a T2i to play with along with the NEW Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM. As you will be able to tell from the video my first gut reaction is "WHAT" the price is $1599.99!!!! That is a lot of money for a F4-5.6 zoom lens. Keep in mind that the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS is $1899.99 USA.
Lets put price aside and talk about the lens and the type of images it creates. The lens is flat out amazing in terms of build quality, focus speed, sharpness, color and pretty much anything it does. It will have one draw back and that would be shooting in low light situations as well as indoors. There is only so much you can raise your ISO to compensate for the lack of the lens being a 2.8.
After using this lens for a few hours while photographing some soccer I came to really enjoy having such a long reach. The 300mm becomes a 480mm on the Canon T2i because of the 1.6x crop factor. To be able to fill the frame from across the filed is just incredible. It is even more incredible that the focus was fast, smooth and tack sharp. The lens did miss a few times but that is going to happen with any lens you use. The zoom ring is smooth and responsive though on occasions my palm would tweak the focus ring by accident.
What makes me end up giving this lens a good review was seeing the results in the computer. When I notice that the EXIF info showed me 266mm zoom and the player filed the frame with such clarity and sharpness I realized this was a killer lens.
There however are a few downsides to owning a mega zoom with a slow aperture. One major issue for me is not being able to blow out the background as well as a 2.8. I like the separate my subject from the background which makes my images go boom. Portrait and wedding photographers who purchase this lens will definitely miss the ability to blow out the background in their images. They will also find that this lens will be pretty useless in low light situations. The final downside is of course the price, at $1600 US I can not see a beginner purchasing this lens. I would not recommend this to someone just starting out as they could purchase 3 other "pro" lenses for the same price of this one. For example a Sigma 18-50 2.8, 70-200 2.8 version II sigma and Canon 50mm F1.4 all for around the same price.
Now that we know who this lens is not for lets look at who it is for. If you travel and are looking for one lens with huge reach to shoot only outdoors than this lens may be for you. This is not really a lens that a pro will end up buying to use professionally, they may use it for fun while away but they will also miss the F2.8. I see this being the perfect lens to take on a Safari as its small enough to hand hold all day but has a huge reach on the APS-C Canon sensors. It will be great for shooting Air Shows as well as out in nature. What it comes down to is if you have the money to spend and don't mind not having a F2.8 than this lens could be for you.

I had underestimated the nikon 1 system. This latest addition to the nikon 1 system lens, the Nikkor 32mm f/1.2 is seriously an awesome lens, fast and responsive. I paired up the lens with an entry level 1 series camera, yet it still performed brilliantly, sweet. Unfortunately, I am still a m4/3 fan, because it has more lens options, and a significantly larger sensor. = )
