ATHENS Men's Under Armour UA SpeedForm Gemini Grey White , May 11 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of Greek and foreign visitors were offered the opportunity to take a journey into the amazing world of Greek gastronomy and unique Greek traditional food products this weekend in Athens.
Two festivals of Greek gastronomic culture held at the Municipality of Athens cultural complex Technopolis Gazi and at Benaki Museum unfolded the world of pure Greek flavors to visitors who enjoyed cooking demonstrations and special workshops.
More than 120 producers from around the country showcased a large range of products in the "Festival of Greek Flavors" at Technopolis, from pastries, cheeses, cold cuts, pasta, olives and olive oil, sauces and dips, vegetables, microbrewery beers Men's Under Armour UA SpeedForm Gemini Black White , spirits and wines, breads, vinegars and herbs, nuts, coffee, salt, spices and jams.
There were also tastings, including blind sessions to cooking courses, a photographic exhibition as well as a string of music events.
"We were very surprised to see and taste such a wide variety of traditional Greek products. Greek nature has to offer best quality products. It is no wonder that our cuisine is so popular abroad with the benefits that has for our health Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black White ," Lina Vardakou told Xinhua as she visited Technopolis festival on Saturday evening with her family.
"Days of Gastronomy" inspired by the fascinating pluralism of the Greek gastronomy and its international impact, demonstrated a panorama of local kitchen activity at the Benaki Museum.
The festival featured a special section dedicated to the gastronomic traditions of the Cycladic islands, with a focus on wine, cheese, herbs and honey, among other delicacies.
Nikos Hatziandreou, owner of Organic Islands, a family firm which cultivates organic aromatic plants at Naxos explained the vital role of climate and soil conditions for growing organic herbs.
"The climate of the region is a very significant factor in producing herbs of the finest quality. The combination of long dry periods that can last up to six months, full sun Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black Lime , small variations in temperature and the cooling effect of the Aegean Sea winds have been proven to improve the scent and taste of herbs and the overall quality," he told Xinhua.
At the Benaki festival, the first Greek film festival dedicated to taste, gastronomy and cuisine also took place. Under the slogan "A Spoonful of Inspiration", Athens International Culinary Film Festival presented a representative menu of delicious stories from around the world (Greece, China, USA, the Netherlands, Germany Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio White Roayl Gold , Spain, France and Britain).
SHANGHAI: It remains more promise than product, but the electric vehicle (EV) sector is drawing more talent from mainstream automakers which are reluctant to go full tilt at the new technology.
Making the jump can mean better pay and pioneering opportunities. One Chinese-backed start-up with around 900 employees, for example, has a US$15 million monthly payroll, according to a person close to the company.
Freeman Shen
One such 'defector' is Freeman Shen, who quit Chinese carmaker Geely two years ago to launch WM Motor, an EV start-up that aims to compete with Tesla Motors in China, the world's biggest autos market and one that encourages the new technology through policy and subsidies.
While other Chinese EV start-ups including LeSee Women's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black Pink , NextEV, Future Mobility and Qiantu Motor are mostly backed by big internet groups such as Alibaba and Tencent, Shanghai-based WM Motor's funding, in the "billions of yuan", is from Chinese investors, but not technology tycoons or venture capital funds, says Shen. He declined to say who the money has come from.
Shen, 46, has two decades of experience in the United States and China Women's Under Armour UA Scorpio Pink Grey , with BorgWarner, Fiat and Geely, which in 2010 bought Swedish car brand Volvo. He aims to make smart, connected electric battery cars, betting on ordinary drivers in China's big cities wanting more affordable EVs.
He plans to go straight for this mass market rather than follow Tesla in first building a high profile super all-electric battery sports car.
"Building a fancy car to impress people is actually fairly easy as long as you're willing to spend the money," Shen says. "The most challenging part is mass production - coming up with a car everybody can buy, with high quality but at a significantly lower cost."
"NUTS"
Shen reckons he has around a 5-year window of opportunity to establish WM Motor in China, while Beijing offers incentives and policy support for EVs.
"I don't think traditional car companies are doing well selling cars, especially with their customer experience. With smart Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Carbon Black Red , connected cars, I believe I can change that," says Shen, who has an engineering Masters from University of California at Los Angeles.
"We're not a traditional car company. We see ourselves as a service company," he says, while acknowledging that friends, family and former colleagues "all think I'm nuts" for starting a new auto brand from scratch.
Advocates, including Shen, see smart Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black Silver , connected EVs revolutionizing the car industry, with today's often-idle cars replaced by smart cars that can be leased out when not needed or shared as part of a city fleet, and which tell the owner when the oil needs changing or a service is due.
"What's important for these emerging EV companies ... is the potential change in customer experience, if they can transform the way the car fits into our lives," says James Chao, Asia-Pacific managing director at consultant IHS.
"Creation of an entire ecosystem enabled by fast mobile internet connectivity, location-based intelligence ... will be critical."
ONLINE SALES
The emergence of China's EV start-ups does not yet signal any major related technology breakthroughs. Shen is actually turning to a German firm's tech team he acquired for battery, motor control and other technologies.
