Qatar Airways Cargo Announces Chapter 2 of WeQare – Rewild the Planet

Qatar Airways Cargo announces Chapter 2 of its sustainability programme WeQare: Rewild the Planet.

The cargo carrier is committed to preserving wildlife and endangered animals and has pledged to transport these animals back to their natural habitat, free of charge. Guillaume Halleux, Qatar Airways Chief Officer Cargo said, "We are concerned about the legacy we leave for the future generation. As the world's leading cargo carrier, we strongly believe in giving back to the community and protecting our environment. We all know that animals have an important role to play in preserving ecological balance which in turn ensures existence and stability of the environment.

Through Chapter 2 – Rewild the Planet, we want to encourage this preservation and that is why we are offering free transport to bring wild animals back to where they belong."

The airline has released a series of striking advertisements and a special video to commemorate the announcement and importance of Chapter 2. Through them, Qatar Airways Cargo aims to raise awareness of such issues among its customers and air cargo stakeholders.

All the chapters of WeQare are based on the core pillars of sustainability - environment, society, economy and culture and the programme has the backing and support of the employees of Qatar Airways Cargo.

The cargo carrier believes that such positive actions will have a ripple effect and inspire people to put sustainability on top of their agenda.

Qatar Airways Cargo will launch more chapters in the coming months, all of which are directly linked to the everyday activities of the carrier. Through such innovative programmes, Qatar Airways Cargo is leading the way for a more sustainable and socially responsible air cargo industry and playing an active role in building tomorrow's world.

As an inaugural signatory to the Buckingham Palace Declaration in March 2016 and a founding member of the United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce, Qatar Airways has a zero tolerance policy towards the illegal trade of endangered wildlife. The cargo carrier's initiative to bringing wildlife back to their natural habitat is consistent with the airline's commitment to fight wildlife trafficking and illegal trade of wild animals.

Leica M10-P、M10-R 和 M10 Monochrom 相機發佈新固件： 利用計算成像修正透視變形

Leica M10-P、M10-R 和 M10 Monochrom 相機發佈新固件： 利用計算成像修正透視變形

Leica M10-P、M10-R 和 M10 Monochrom 三種相機型號的固件更新引入了一個令人振奮的新功能：徠卡透視控制功能，簡稱LPC。以上所列相機型號的用戶完成更新後，便可啟動透視控制功能。原理是運用相機集成的定向感光元件來識別機身是否被保持於水平位置，還是向上或向下傾斜。基於該資訊，LPC就可利用「計算化成像」來修正成像變形——這種在建築攝影中讓人煩惱卻常見的現象。其中，「計算化成像」是指用機內演算法成像的過程。

相機顯示器上能生成修正透視變形而裁切後的圖像預覽。以DNG格式的圖像為例，LPC計算好的修正資料會寫入中繼資料（Metadata），同時保持原始資料不變。隨後，Adobe Lightroom 或 Adobe Photoshop將自動運行這些原始資料，使用者也可選擇刪除它們。而針對JPEG圖像的修正則直接在相機中進行，且僅有修正後的圖像會被保存。

用戶也可選擇手動修正透視變形，但兩者相比，徠卡全新的透視控制功能更加便捷。

首先，自動快於手動。其次，LPC可以在資料錄入前提供修正圖預覽，還能在拍攝後立即查看修正後的JPEG圖像，令使用者能輕易挑選出滿意的畫面及最合適拍攝的鏡頭。透視變形是基於從相機感光元件上收集到的資料進行修正的（並非是針對畫面進行數碼修正），因此即便是畫面中不含直線也可以修正。

全新徠卡透視控制功能將率先應用於Leica M10-P、M10-R 和 M10 Monochrom 相機。含有此新功能的固件更新檔案可前往徠卡官網免費下載，並根據提供的說明書進行安裝。

Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH

Return of a landmark lens: The Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH becomes part of Leica's Classic Range

With the Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. Leica is re-issuing a lens that occupies a very special place in the company's history. Produced from 1966 to 1975, the Noctilux 50 f/1.2 was the world's first lens to feature aspherical elements and, as such, represented something of a sensation. Its light sensitivity (which is enormous even by today's standards) further contributed to the Noctilux's legendary status – as did its unique aesthetic: images captured at open aperture are imbued with a soft, almost dreamlike quality – creating an unmistakable look with an exquisite bokeh.

These distinctive visual characteristics have been carefully retained in the new Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2, whose calculation and construction adheres so closely to the original that the imaging results are almost identical. Despite the fact that it was originally calculated more than fifty years ago, the purpose of this lens is by no means limited to nostalgic experiments: once it has been stopped down to f/2.8 (at the very latest), the Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 delivers sharp images that live up to any quality expectations of modern-day digital photography.

The lens also continues to be the most compact and light-weight Noctilux in Leica's catalogue.

The Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. will be available in two variants. Before the introduction of the Noctilux in 1966, silver was the customary colour for M lenses – with the exception of a few special-edition models aimed at photojournalists, which were given a discreet black finish. The Noctilux marked the start of the company's transition to black-anodised lenses.

Prior to releasing the Noctilux on the market, Leica produced around five silver-finish prototypes. They now count among the most coveted and highly priced M lenses in existence. The serial, black-finish Noctilux 50 f/1.2 was produced in a total volume of just 1757 units. As a result, any well maintained model is also considered a highly sought-after collector's item on today's market.

The black anodised variant of the new Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. with aluminium lens barrel is available now at HKD $60,000. The lens comes in packaging inspired by the original box, and is complemented by the same lens container that was provided with the original Noctilux 50 f/1.2 for safe keeping.

The silver chrome variant, which is released in parallel, will be limited to a production run of 100 units. The special-edition model features a brass lens barrel, a front-ring engraving that reads LEITZ WETZLAR (instead of LEICA), and comes in packaging that bears an even closer resemblance to that of the original.

It is available now at HKD $139,000.

The Noctilux-M 50 f/1.2 ASPH. is the third lens to be added to the Leica Classics Range, following the previous re-issues of the Summaron-M 28 f/5.6 of 1955, and the Thambar-M 90 f/2.2 of 1935.

Aesop & RÆBURN: Adventurer Roll Up

Aesop & RÆBURN: Adventurer Roll Up

With equal emphasis on style and function, the inaugural joint endeavour between Aesop and RÆBURN - the London-based responsible fashion pioneer - is a portable pouch for on-the-go hand care, available in three variants.

Handcrafted from 80% recycled cotton and available in sophisticated navy blue, the design features three purpose-fit pockets to house a trio of Aesop products. A co-branded cotton tape enables the pouch to be rolled up securely for neat portability inside any bag.

The contours of everyday life underwent a dramatic change in 2020, requiring new practices, regimens and products of protection and care. Purchase of portable hand cleansers along with hydrators to replenish skin, became a high priority.

Yet a convenient solution to carry these products seemed to have been overlooked.

The Adventurer Roll Up is specially designed to house three products to cleanse and hydrate the hands when commuting, travelling, or simply out-and-about: Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash, Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm and our new release, Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Mist.

As part of the collaboration, 300 limited-edition RÆMADE Adventurer Roll Ups - each unique and individually numbered - were handcrafted in East London using reclaimed 1960s aeronautical navigation maps.

Foregrounding the RÆBURN and Aesop commitment to sustainability, the RÆMADE Adventurer Roll Up uses maps of territories greatly impacted by climate change. They include Borneo - sadly known as an area of extreme deforestation - as well as the Aral Sea, which has tragically shrunk over time due to over-farming. Four roll ups can be made from just one map, leaving no fabric wasted.

A third take on the design sees RÆBURN and Aesop providing an Open Source Roll Up pattern, making this practical pouch accessible to anyone handy with a sewing machine.

In facing the challenges of the pandemic and the growing threat of climate change, Aesop has deferred to its fundamental belief in shared understanding and collaboration. The events of 2020 have undoubtedly affected the way we interact, not only with each other, but also with our surroundings when venturing from home.

To aid customers at this difficult time in their busy, productive and creative lives, Aesop has partnered with one of the foremost innovators in sustainable design.

The eponymous fashion house founded by Christopher Raeburn in 2009 is a global leader in circularity, pioneering the reuse of surplus fabrics and garments to create pieces of timeless grace.

Adhering to the Aesop values of integrity, respect and creativity, RÆBURN honours the cornerstones of great design. Durable, adaptable and eminently accessible, each creation expresses a deep humanity, borne of respect and in-depth research. It is therefore an immense pleasure for Aesop to announce this collaboration, and to launch this product thoughtfully created to enhance the everyday routine.

The year 2021 marks the 50th Anniversary of Sino Group (the ‘Group’), commemorating its effort in community-building and dedication to building a more sustainable society. Sino Group today presents Farm Together – an integrated green community project that promotes urban farming and brings the community closer to nature, in keeping with the Group’s Sustainability Vision 2030 commitment of Creating Better Lifescapes. With six farms currently operating across its properties in Hong Kong that span over 23,000 square feet, the Group has one of the largest urban farming footprints in the city. 

 Ms Nikki Ng, Group General Manager of Sino Group, says, ‘With a vision of Creating Better Lifescapes, the Group focuses its efforts on three interconnected pillars, namely Green Living, Community Spirit and Innovative Design. In collaboration with our green partners and NGO partners, Farm Together aims to encourage our community to re-establish a connection with nature. We promote sustainable living and wellness while celebrating local biodiversity in alignment with the mission of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

Through Farm Together, we seek to plant the seeds of sustainability and grow a greener future with our colleagues, residents, tenants and the wider community.’ Sino Group sees sustainability as the core of its business and has introduced many green initiatives over the past 50 years, including the ‘Mission Green Top’ that has brought green inspiration to commercial buildings since 2008 and Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel’s outdoor organic farm, launched in 2018, which pioneered the industry. 

Over 5,000 tenants, hotel guests, students and colleagues have participated in a variety of green tours, workshops and educational programmes over the years, and more than 1,000 kg of vegetables have been harvested from rooftop farm that has generated over HK$2 million of sales proceeds for the not-for-profit Hong Chi Association. These meaningful experiences and networks laid a solid foundation for the city-wide Farm Together project. 

Urban farming footprint across the city Farm Together currently operates six farms city-wide, across the Group’s commercial and residential properties as well as hotel. The largest farm in the portfolio, spanning 11,840 square feet, is Sky Farm at the Skyline Tower, located in Kowloon Bay. 

Featuring a wide range of seasonal plants from Romaine lettuce to sweet potatoes as well as being Hong Kong’s first rooftop farm at a commercial building to grow indigo plant for tie-dyeing, the farm is managed in collaboration with sustainable social enterprise Smiley Planet and local NGO Hong Chi Association. Other farms include 148 Farm (1,300 square feet) on 148 Electric Road that is a lush urban garden with mesmerising views of the Victoria Harbour. 

The Group’s Hong Kong Gold Coast is home to four farms: Gold Coast Eco Farm (2,500 square feet), bringing the joy of urban farming to residents at Hong Kong Gold Coast Residences; Gold Coast Fun Farm (1,600 square feet), a green oasis where families and neighbours meet and share wonderful moments together; Gold Coast Farm (3,680 square feet), the first farm within a hotel in Hong Kong using organic farming practice to grow a variety of crops; and Butterflies and Herbs Farm (3,700 square feet) at the Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel, which features more than 20 types of butterflies and 40 types of flower and plant species. 

 These farms together grow over 150 plant and crop species including the seasonal plants snow jade cabbage and taro winter melon. Farm Together aims at promoting a more sustainable urban lifestyle through vertical farming practices and farm-to-table experiences. It is expected to generate a total of around 1,000 kg of produce annually to be shared with residents, tenants and charitable organisations to support the local community. Following this success, Farm Together has been extended outside of Hong Kong. The Fullerton Farm (2,152 square feet) at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore has been launched to promote the concept of sustainability and biodiversity to the Singapore community. 

 Wide range of activities to bring the community closer to nature Committed to creating a better community that thrives in harmony by embracing green living and wellness, the Group’s Farm Together project offers a range of community workshops, programmes and tours – that teach participants everything from the farm-to-table concept to expert farming tips – in collaboration with urban farming experts including Smiley Planet, Rooftop Republic, Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve and NGO partners including Hong Chi Association, New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association, Warehouse Teenage Club and The Providence Garden for Rehab. The first round of community activities will open to public this April. Popular workshops that utilise the plants and herbs grown at the farms include the Tie-Dying Workshop where participants can create their own tie-dyed fabrics and accessories with indigo, and the Herb Soap Making Workshop in which participants can create their own sustainable soap using a traditional cold processing method with herbs and flowers. Those who wish to learn more about farming techniques and harvesting can enjoy the Mixed Farm Tour and Urban Farm Tour. Please visit the Farm Together website https://www.farmtogether.com.hk/ for details and fee of the workshops, with online registration starting mid -February on a first-come-first-serve basis. Proceeds from the workshops (deducting administrative cost) will be donated to New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association.
