August 19, 2014
If you take a stroll down the “pink” aisle at the toy store, you’ll come across princesses, dress-up kits and dolls. With an abundance of these popular items, it’s no wonder research shows that girls lose interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields as early as age 8. While all of these items are a great way for girls to interact and imagine, it’s time for us to alter the way we think about toys for girls.

Part 1: Energy Efficiency is Our Future

July 21, 2014
“There can be no economy where there is no efficiency.” The words of Benjamin Disraeli have never been truer than in the modern energy landscape.

According to Accenture’s report “Catching the ASEAN wave”, the ASEAN region’s economy is projected to grow by US$735 billion by 2020. The population is expected to grow from 633 million to 717 million by 2030.

June 24, 2014
What if “job-hopping” isn’t just a hot topic for millennial happy hours but a necessary dynamic of regional economies?
What if the recent agreement by Apple, Google, Intel, and Adobe to pay $325 million to settle claims that they colluded to limit job-hopping only reflects how much is at stake here?

Taste the technology in your next glass of shiraz

June 03, 2014
It’s a late Summer day, harvest time in the NSW Riverina district. Russell Cody, senior wine maker for McWilliam’s Wines, walks slowly through rows and rows of grapes at McWilliam’s Hanwood Winery, tasting as he goes. The late summer temperatures will transform the grapes from small hard pebbles into juicy sweet fruit and Russell is looking for the perfect balance.
The art of winemaking is about knowing exactly when to intervene, when to stop the transformation process and harvest the grapes to turn juice into wine.
