iWhite Launches Its Innovative Range Of Teeth Whitening Solutions in Singapore SINGAPORE, 23 March 2016 – “White is not just a colour: It’s purity; it’s a lifestyle.” This is the business philosophy of iWhite, a Belgium-based purveyor of teeth whitening solutions under its parent company Sylphar NV. Buoyed by the scientific breakthrough that is the triple action whitening complex, iWhite’s solutions promise amazing results all in the comfort of your own home! In the article “Easy Ways to Look Better in a Job Interview”, Forbes suggested teeth whitening as an effective way to shave years off one’s appearance. Indeed, taking care of your teeth can do wonders for your image. Teeth are one of the things we notice when meeting others for the first time and are a reflection of one’s hygiene and grooming. A set of white teeth inspires greater confidence and leaves a positive first impression. However, lifestyle habits such as smoking, drinking coffee or wine can stain teeth and cause them to lose their natural beauty and health. Triple action whitening technology ensures results in just 20 minutes iWhite’s triumvirate of teeth whitening solutions — iWhite Instant Whitening Kit; iWhite Instant Whitening Toothpaste; and iWhite Instant Whitening Mouthwash — can effectively reverse these effects. Its instant, triple action whitening technology is buoyed by three active ingredients: phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP); bioactive crystals; and bioavailable calcium deposits. Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP): Teeth lose their natural colour as chromatic pigments are deposited over time. These whitening molecules work hard to break down these pigments and eliminate stains. Bioactive crystals: The crystals will fixate on the tooth and form a layer that leads to an instant whitening effect. Bioavailable calcium deposits: Located beneath the enamel, dentin is naturally yellow and shines through the translucent enamel. The deposits remineralise teeth and in turn, the thicker front layer will reveal less of the underlying yellow dentin. With iWhite’s teeth whitening solutions, you can achieve an enviable set of white teeth and strengthen your enamel at the same time. Making history: Innovative hydrogen-peroxide free teeth whitening solutions With their debut appearance in 2012, iWhite’s range of products were among the first teeth whitening solutions in the market that do not contain hydrogen peroxide. A common ingredient in many teeth whitening solutions then, hydrogen peroxide is known to cause gum irritation, teeth sensitivity and in more serious cases, throat soreness. Excessive use can even cause damage to one’s enamel. The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products has stipulated that a maximum concentration of 0.1% hydrogen peroxide is safe. By jettisoning hydrogen peroxide in its composition, iWhite is able to launch teeth whitening solutions that are not only efficient but also 100% safe to use. In the clincial study “Double Blinded Randomized Clinical Trial of a Teeth Whitening Product vs a Placebo”, it was found that iWhite Instant Whitening Kit’s 20-minute treatment was capable of achieving up to 8 VITA shades of improvement. None of the participants reported any teeth sensitivity after the treatment. In fact, the general consensus was that the treatment felt “pleasant” and the taste was “good”. Witten/Herdecke University’s results from the “Effectiveness of a Teeth Whitening Product VS a Placebo” study were also positive. All participants did not report any hypersensitivity and a majority of the participants saw visible results after using the iWhite Instant Whitening Kit. These results were assessed 24 hours after the initial 20-minute application, which means that the whitening effects do not disappear after one treatment and are still noticeable even after a day. iWhite has launched three marquee products that allow you to take control of your dental health right at home. The three products are as follow: iWhite Instant Whitening Kit ($49.90): Four easy steps to get instant results Comprising of 10 prefilled, thin and flexible trays, iWhite’s instant whitening kit is designed for comfort, convenience and maximum performance in mind. Simply wear the tray for 20 minutes a day up to five consecutive days for truly astonishing results. In just four simple steps, you can achieve a set of beautiful white teeth. 1. Brush teeth gently before each application. 2. Remove the prefilled tray from the sealed sachet and place the tray in your mouth. Ensure that the gel is in contact with the teeth’s surface. 3. Gently close your lips over the tray and carefully close your mouth. 4. Remove the tray after 20 minutes and discard immediately. Gently rinse your teeth and gum with water to remove all residues. iWhite Instant Whitening Toothpaste ($9.90): All-year-round protection against discolouration and plaque iWhite’s toothpaste was rated the number one and most effective toothpaste in a March 2015 Norwegian consumer trial involving eight toothpaste brands. Fluoride, a marquee ingredient, strengthens and remineralises your teeth. Thanks to three other ingredients, the toothpaste also promises triple-action whitening: Absolutely safe for tooth enamel and gum, the PAP deeply whitens the teeth and also halts the growth of bacteria in the mouth, in turn inhibiting the growth of plaque. A 30-day clinical study on PAP revealed the ingredient’s ability to effectively whiten teeth. Micro-purifying crystals remove surface discolouration and give the toothpaste an instant polishing function. Not only do they restore natural whiteness, they also enhance the colour. Polyphosphatic particles remove all stains quickly and effectively. The active substances give a direct whiter effect and protect the teeth from the formation of new plaque. The mouthwash contains blue covarine, which places an ultrathin film over the teeth’s surface during the rinsing action. Blue covarine alters the way light glints on teeth and gives an immediate visible white appearance. In addition, the ingredients Hexametaphosphate and PAP work in tandem to remove and prevent plaque. The mouthwash dissolves discolouring substances without causing damage to the teeth or gums. It also deftly removes and prevents new plaque formation, giving you an instant bright smile. Flouride imbues it with a tooth-strengthening ability. Use the mouthwash daily to attain a set of teeth that is not just beautiful but also healthy. All products will be available at Guardians and Watsons stores from 1st April 2016 onwards.

Singapore, 15 April 2016 – The region’s premier and most comprehensive trade event for Asia’s food and hospitality industry, Food&HotelAsia2016 (FHA2016), closed today on an upbeat note as attendees emerged delighted with their experience at the trade event. “As consumer needs evolve, so do the expectations of our buyers. Innovative ideas are more critical than ever in meeting changing consumer demands. We are heartened and pleased that FHA has continued to be the platform for exhibitors to showcase new and innovative products and is the chosen sourcing ground for many international buyers. Its relevance to the food and hospitality industries remains as vital and effective today as ever,” said Ms. Lindy Wee, Chief Executive of Singapore Exhibition Services. FHA showcased an impressive spread which ranged from the finest and most unique food ingredients and products, to food service equipment, hotel amenities and software solutions. The tradeshow gathered 72,000 attendees, 45 per cent from overseas. They included exhibiting staff, trade visitors, conference speakers and delegates, judges and competitors, and members of the media. A hub for launches, leads and deals FHA2016 commanded rewarding leads and deals for exhibitors and participants, with negotiations expected to continue even after the event. One of the quickest deals ever struck at FHA, less than an hour after the event’s opening, was between Dutch hotel room equipment maker, Bentley Europe BV, and Singapore buyer Hunwin Enterprises for a revolutionary sensor-operated hair dryer that premiered at the event. Foxy’s Thoughtful Ice Cream, a super-premium, all natural ice cream manufacturer launched its brand new and world exclusive ice cream that is loaded with six strains of probiotics. “After months of research, we have launched what we believe is a world first: a super-premium ice cream that is almost the perfect probiotic delivery system,” said Mr. Angus Murray, CEO of the California, USA-based company. “We also have reduced the amount of sugar used, and replaced it with an organic inulin which is a sweetener and a pre-biotic – a beneficial fibre for the probiotics.” “Launching at FHA in Singapore makes perfect sense – the region of the world known for leading dietary trends and early uptake of new ideas,” added Mr. Thomas Scruby, Foxy’s Commercial Director – Asia. The Japan Pavilion, led by the Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) Singapore, returned this year with an even greater number of exhibitors and space than the 2014 edition. Mr. Masaya Hasebe, Managing Director commented, “JETRO is participating in FHA for the fifth time this year with 79 exhibitors in our pavilion, a 70 per cent increase compared with the previous edition, as part of our continued efforts in supporting overseas business expansion activities of Japanese SMEs.” “We have been receiving positive feedback from our exhibitors who see FHA as a one-stop platform to reach out to international trade buyers and understand the latest market trends and consumer needs. We anticipate a growing interest in the next edition of FHA among Japanese food-related companies since it is one of the biggest food shows in this region. We look forward to having an expanded presence in 2018.” Agilysys, a US-based software solutions company, is eyeing new opportunities in the region. According to Mr. Daniel Lee, Regional Director, Sales & Distribution, APAC & MEA, the hospitality industry is becoming a significant contributor to Agilysys’ business. “We are at Food&HotelAsia because this is where the region’s hotel owners and hoteliers converge. They visit to see and get information on solutions that can help their business. This is a very good showcase for us. We are happy for the opportunity to build awareness for our solutions and brand. Hotel chains are aggressively expanding in the region, and they need solutions like ours,” he said. ”It’s been a great show and we’ve been busy over the past few days. We have a very broad customer base in this part of the world, so it’s a great opportunity to meet many key customers in one place. FHA provides a good platform because it attracts the key industry players. For the Asian market, we believe this is the best show. We are pleased with the turnout,” said Mr. Douglas Dunn, President, Middleby Worldwide – Eastern Hemisphere. The Middleby Corporation is a worldwide manufacturer of commercial kitchen equipment, residential appliances and systems for industrial processing, packaging and baking. Genuine buyers from the region Trade buyers from across all sectors of the food and hospitality industries are pleased with FHA. With so much to see and sample, some visitors were pressed for time as they navigated through hall after hall to source, learn and network with sellers from all over the world. Ms. Gene A. Rono, President of the Association of Purchasing Managers of Hotels & Restaurants of the Philippines, was a visitor who was extremely pleased with the wide array of products on the show floor. “It was a successful trip for us, especially for those new members who are purchasing managers from five-star hotels in Manila. In terms of sourcing, they were able to find the right products that they want, from ingredients to kitchen equipment. The top brands continue to manufacture top-quality products as they continue to work for perfection, quality, durability and after-sales service. We are always looking forward to seeing these at FHA. We will certainly be back every two years!” “As a gluten-free establishment, it is not easy for us to find local suppliers of such products. This is the second time I am visiting FHA because it gives me the opportunity to source for gluten-free products from international suppliers. FHA has a fine selection of gluten-free products from a wide range of suppliers, which is very beneficial and useful for us,” said Ms. Agnetta Lew, owner of a popular gluten-free cafe in Singapore, Jonathan’s, who observed that there were more gluten-free suppliers and a better variety of such products available at the show this year. Unsurpassed knowledge sharing arena From destination investment opportunities to F&B design, hospitality technology, food manufacturing and bakery, the FHA2016 International Conference covered a wide spectrum of topics ranging from new strategies, to challenges and issues impacting the food and hospitality businesses. Mr. Jesper Palmqvist, Area Director, Asia Pacific of STR Global, who gave the Industry Keynote Address in the Hotels & Resorts Management track, was excited about the conference agenda. He said, “There’s wide variety to get the right people in. If this succeeds the ambitious agenda this year, this could lead to something fantastic, even more in 2018.” To delegates, the conference had been a fulfilling one. “The conference, especially the masterclass on bakery trends, is very informative. We were made to understand the present trends in bakery products. The latest innovations being discussed would surely help to boost sales, especially the story-telling way of inspiring our customers to be curious to buy the products. Insights on global preferences also made us aware of future products to be displayed in our stores,” commented Ms. Zenaida B. Gonzales, Owner of Michell’s Cakes & Pasteries and Stregato Gelateria, Philippines. Platform to develop talent* One of FHA’s most exhilarating events, the FHA Culinary Challenge saw a mix of both young and established chefs from around the world gather to compete in various challenges such as the Gourmet Team Challenge where Team Taiwan emerged winner; the Individual Challenge where Marina Mandarin Singapore won, and Raffles Hotel Singapore is the winner for the new Sweet High Tea Challenge. Mr. Otto Weibel, Overall Chief Judge is of the opinion that young chefs can benefit from these competitions. “They learn a lot when they prepare and participate in the competition, they get exposure to what others are doing and there is lively exchange of ideas,” he mused. Over at SpecialityCoffee&Tea, attendees were drawn to the high-octane FHA Barista Challenge and new CTI Latte Art Duel, where Sam Tan Sze Yuin from Malaysia’s Discover Coffee and Wong Stephen Cullamat from Singapore’s Park Hotel Alexandra respectively emerged as champions. Team Singapore is crowned champion in Asia’s largest ‘live’ pastry competition, the Asian Pastry Cup, by esteemed judging panel that included pastry legend, Pierre Herme. The Asia Pacific selections of the prestigious Bocuse d’Or, where nine national teams battled it out for places in the finals in France, were also conducted within the halls of FHA. Japan emerged as the champion. 2018 edition to return bigger, better and more relevant With overwhelming demand for booth space, FHA in 2018 promises to be an even grander affair. The event will be held across two locations, Singapore Expo and Suntec Singapore. With the move, there is room for FHA to expand at least 20 per cent bigger, to accommodate industry’s demand for more space, with installation of new features for a holistic and memorable experience. The next edition of FHA will return from 24 – 27 April 2018. For more information, please visit www.foodnhotelasia.com.

A TASTE OF FRENCH JOIE DE VIVRE AT THE FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL Exciting and diverse line-up of films presents the best of French film art This November (Singapore, 26 October 2016) – experience the very best of French films on the sunny shores of Singapore with the launch of the French Film Festival, which celebrates the growing appreciation of French cinema in Singapore, while recognising Singapore’s prominent role in promoting film art in Asia. Organised by Institut Français Singapour and the French Embassy, the festival offers a platform for audiences in Singapore to discover the exciting world of French cinema. Taking place from 10 to 20 November 2016, the public can look forward to a carefully curated presentation of close to 20 masterpieces – from fascinating cult classics to the latest box office hits in the French cinemas. They showcase the diversity and creativity that epitomise the hallmarks of great French cinema. H.E Benjamin Dubertret, Ambassador of France to Singapore said, “The French Film Festival builds on the momentum created by previous initiatives to promote film art in Singapore over the last 32 years. Launching the Festival here is also aligned with Singapore’s emergent reputation as a film hub in the region. With films being a mirror of French society and diversity, we invite everyone here to take a glimpse into our arts, lifestyle and culture. We hope that the Festival will allow Singaporeans even more access to the French storytellers, and spark more cross-cultural exchanges between France and Singapore.” Bringing out the best in French storytelling Opening the Festival at Capitol Theatre this year is Monsieur Chocolat (Chocolat) – a biopic directed by Roschdy Zem, starring James Thierrée (grand son of Charlie Chaplin) and the César award-winning actor Omar Sy who is internationally known for his role in The Intouchables, Jurassic World, and the X-men franchise. The film tells the extraordinary life and career of Rafael Padilla – a former Cuban-born slave who became the first black artist to appear on a French stage in the 19th century – and his lifelong friendship with a white artist nicknamed Footit. Producer of Chocolat, Nicolas Altmayer, will also make a special appearance at the festival. The film will join the extensive line-up of other captivating contemporary French movies, such as the 2016 César Award winner for Best Documentary Film, Tomorrow (Demain) directed by actress Melanie Laurent (Inglorious Bastards and Now You See Me) and Cyril Dion; the César-nominated drama film Standing Tall (La Tête haute) which was selected to open the 2015 Cannes Film Festival; and family favourite adventure drama Belle and Sebastian (Belle et Sébastien). Partnering to grow French film appreciation A platform for cross-cultural exchanges between local and international stakeholders in the film industry, the French Film Festival will welcome on board its very first Festival Ambassador – renowned filmmaker Eric Khoo. Besides sharing his perspectives on French cinema, the respected veteran in the Singapore film industry will also suggest his top picks on this year’s festival line-up on the Festival’s website. The film festival will also work with independent cinema, The Projector, to present two special screenings entitled Sundays with French Cinema. Viewers can look forward to watching two French cult classics: Hothead (Coup de tête) and Going Places (Les Valseuses). Both films feature the performances of the late Patrick Dewaere, a promising star of the French silver screen in late 60’s France. In partnership with Goethe-Institute Singapur and Alliance Française de Singapour, the Festival also presents the war drama Alone In Berlin – an inspiring tale of resistance against tyranny and oppression during World War 2. It stars Academy Award winner Emma Thompson (Nanny McPhee, Saving Mr. Banks), Irish powerhouse Brian Gleeson (Troy, HarryPotter series) and German veteran Daniel Brühl (Captain America: Civil War). Festival Director Ms Laurence Lochu said, “We are very thrilled to receive such strong support from our partners and the film community. We see this as an encouraging sign of Singaporeans’ increasing appetite for different genres of films especially from world cinema, and we hope to further these relationships to offer greater cinematic experiences to make the festival an annual marquee event that Singaporeans will look forward to.” The French Film Festival will take place from 10 to 20 November 2016, with Festival films showing at Golden Village, Alliance Française de Singapour and The Projector.

The size and shape of the speaker invites you to pick it up and bring it with you as the most natural thing. The combination of premium materials, cool aluminium, soft polymer and the warm touch of leather makes it almost desirable to hold. I like the fact that the rounded, circular shape very clearly indicates the sharing of sound while lying on the table”, says designer Cecilie Manz. Signature sound by Bang & Olufsen Building on more than 90 years of sound expertise, the B&O PLAY A1 sets new standards for portable Bluetooth speakers on sound dispersion, volume and bass characteristics. Using a unique dedicated DSP algorithm with advanced high slope filtering, B&O PLAY A1 is able to create a spacious 360-degree soundscape. This provides listeners with the same beautiful sound experience wherever they are located. Despite its compact footprint, measuring just 133mm x 48mm (5.2” x 1.9”) with a weight of only 600g (1.3 pounds), the speaker’s fully active, two way design using an aluminium cone mid woofer, a silk dome 3⁄4” tweeter and advanced DSP filtering will wow you with crisp, loud and clear audio. Thanks to a new aluminium Cone Mid-Woofer using a powerful neodymium magnetic system and high peak power amps, the B&O PLAY A1 delivers a full range deep bass to as low as 40hz and enough stamina to keep the music playing for hours on end. 24 hours of portable playtime B&O PLAY A1 comes with a rechargeable 2200mAh Li-Ion battery that provides up to 24 hours portable playtime during everyday use. This industry-leading standard is delivered by the inventive amp control. The Adaptive Power Management makes it possible to feed the exact amount of power needed by the amplifiers – and only when they need it. This means the power supply changes dynamically for increased battery life. Speakerphone for business and pleasure B&O PLAY A1 has a built-in speakerphone for taking calls out loud, and the patent-pending rimmed design on the speaker’s bottom edge enables the microphone to provide uniform 360 speech sensitivity. This enables the person listening to recognise voices perfectly, no matter where people are speaking in proximity to the microphone. Easy access to your favourite music Pressing the circular connect button on the side of the speaker will reconnect the speaker to the last used device and instantly play the last song you heard. Going forward the connect button will receive updates to add even more functionality to the speaker. Price and availability B&O PLAY A1 launches in Moss Green and Natural at suggested retail price of S$399. Both colours will be available at Bang & Olufsen Grand Hyatt Showroom 10-12 Scotts Road, Grand Hyatt Singapore, #01-05 Singapore 228211 from 9th May 2016.

Knowing that Stormers are good in their scrums, we have been working on our scrums and are making good progress. I’m very pleased with the players’ performance thus far and am sure they will perform up to expectations tomorrow. It’s our last match in Singapore, and it’d be great if we can achieve our second win in our second home.” “The win we had in Tokyo motivates us to work harder to achieve better results. In the match against the Forces last week, we made some mistakes in the first half, but managed to make a comeback in the second half. Being in Singapore for the third time this season, we’re used to the weather conditions here and are all ready for a good game this weekend,” said Sunwolves game captain Harumichi Tatekawa.

We will stay focused to deliver a better performance, so as to start this phase with a win.” One of the latest additions to Super Rugby, Sunwolves are returning to their adopted home venue, the Singapore Sports Hub tomorrow, where they will face South Africa’s DHL Stormers.
