Dr Ian Bally, Dr Paula Ibell and Peter Rigden (Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Queensland)
The Small Tree High Productivity Initiative is a Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) and Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation which is co-funded by Horticulture Innovation Australia to develop high density and high productivity orchard systems. The research team is diverse with plant physiologists, plant breeders, geneticists, molecular biologists, and plant modellers working from sites at Brisbane and Mareeba.
The project was inspired by the large gains in productivity achieved by some temperate tree crops over the last 30-40 years. Apple is a standout example with commercial yields increasing from 10-15 tonnes/ha in the 1980's to 60-100 tonnes/ha for modern, high density orchard blocks today.
The project focuses on four key areas of research that limit productivity of mango orchard:
Vigour management - understanding how to effectively manage the tree's vegetative vigour using rootstocks, pruning strategies for canopy manipulation and growth regulators.
Canopy architecture - understanding natural patterns of vegetative growth, flowering and fruiting and the potential to manipulate these through pruning and/or training to optimise the orchard light environment.
Canopy light relations - quantifying the role of light in flowering and fruiting and the optimisation of pruning and training systems to maximise productivity.
Crop load - developing an understanding of the physiology of crop load and the ability to effectively manage crop load through ensuring adequate flowering and fruit set and subsequent management to maximise yields
The overall aim of the project is to develop sufficient scientific understanding and management strategies of these key areas to put them together into a practical system that can be adopted by growers.
It has been a busy first 15 months for the mango 'small tree' team in Mareeba who welcome two new team members to the project, Ram Kolala, Horticultural Technician and Anahita Mizani, PhD student with the University of Queensland.
Ram has a B.Sc. in agriculture and M.Sc. in plant physiology. He has managed tissue culture laboratories in Australia and India, and worked as an agronomist in the fresh cut flower industry.
Anahita has completed a Horticultural M.Sc. in apple rootstocks, vegetative characters, fruit quality and fruit set at the Seed & Plant Improvement Institute in Iran.
Vigour management with rootstocks
Reducing mango tree vigour and diverting energy into production is critical for sustainable high yields. Very few rootstocks are known to reduce tree vigour in mango and those that do only work on one or two scion varieties. The project has begun to look for new rootstocks that will reduce vegetative vigour while still providing high yields and sound fruit quality that can perform in high density mango orchard systems.
Testing over 90 rootstocks with potential to reduce tree vigour in high-density situations has begun. The first 30 were grafted and field planted in mid and late 2014 with another 60 to be planted over the next 18 months. We may detect the first signs of vigour control in the next 12 months but it is likely that effects may not be apparent until the trees begin regular cropping at two to three years old.
Canopy architecture and training
New ways of training and pruning mangoes are being investigated to optimise light, manage vigour and reduce pruning in high density orchards systems. A "Planting Systems" field experiment was set up in December 2013 to investigate how the three mango varieties Keitt, Calypso and NMBP1243 respond to three planting densities (156, 440 and 1250 trees per ha). Canopies are being trained to either conventional, single leader or hedged architectures. At the highest planting density, the single leader canopies are either supported by trellises or hedged.
Since establishment the trees have been regularly pruned to establish the three canopy architecture styles and precise measurement of growth and architecture have been made. Although some trees flowered in September last year, flowers were removed to encourage canopy development. When trees mature, this experiment will allow us to determine which varieties are most suited to high density production by measuring their light relations, flowering, yield and biennial variability.
Canopy light relations
The project team is studying the relationships between light, canopy architecture, productivity and fruit quality. Total light interception is the amount of light falling on a hectare that the tree canopies intercept. Light energy intercepted by the canopy is converted to biomass during photosynthesis and this influences yield. Understanding light relationships will help to determine the best plant spacing and canopy training options for high density mango orchards that can produce high quality fruit.
A baseline study of the total light interception has started on seven farms in the Mareeba and Mutchilba districts, on Kensington Pride orchards of varying planting configurations, age and pruning systems. Light interception was compared with tree age, canopy characteristics and yield.
The early findings of this study have found that on average, light interception reached its maximum of 68% in KP trees up to approximately 25 years old. The percentage light interception is the amount of light intercepted by the tree canopy within its allocated space in the orchard, including the inter-row. This is an average of 50 measurements taken five times a day on a cloud free day using a ceptometer, an instrument that is used to accurately measures light levels. As the canopy volumes increased so did light interception with the maximum interception of 68% occurring when the canopy volume reached 13,300 cubic meters per hectare. These trees formed a continuous canopy along the row and just had space for a tractor to pass between rows.
Yields increased up to 50% light interception, after which the increase in yields slowed with maximum yields being reached at 68% light interception.
This baseline study will continue to measure light interception in some additional orchards, as well as begin to study the distribution of light within the canopy.
In future these light relations will be compared with similar measurements from the "Planting Systems" field experiment to compare their efficiency with current orchard systems. The "Planting Systems" experiment will investigate how to optimise light interception in younger trees and therefore reach maximum yields earlier in an orchard's life.
The project team thank growers who participated in this work and are looking for additional 10 to 25 year old orchards to measure in the Mareeba and Dimbulah district.
Crop Load
A multiyear study to investigate the effects of crop load on subsequent yield, canopy growth and flowering with the aim of managing crop load to reduce irregular and biennial bearing has begun. In the past year an experiment started that aims to study the effect of different percentages of flowering terminals on the current and subsequent years productivity and fruit quality.
The experiment was conducted on the cultivar Calypso and involved manipulating the number of flowering terminals by removing flowers to provide trees with a range of flowering percentages. Early findings, based on one season of study, are indicating that Calypso mangoes have a strong ability to compensate for poor flowering.
Essentially, on average there was no yield reduction between trees with 100% and 10% flowering as trees tended to compensate. The fruit number per tree at harvest was similar from full flowering down to 10% flowering. Average fruit weight remained consistent from full flowering to about 30% flowering, below which average fruit weights increase by approximately 15%.
The tree also compensated for lower flowering percentages by retaining more fruit per panicle. Trees with greater than 30% flowering had in average one fruit per panicle, whereas trees with less than 30% flowering retained two or more fruit per panicle. The percentage of flowering did not affect fruit maturity at harvest. A second year of observations is needed before any conclusions can be made about any effects on biennial bearing. It is likely factors such as tree nutrition, health and cultivar may cause trees to respond differently to reduction in percentages of flowering.
Future reports on the small tree high productivity initiative will focus on some of the other research activities in the project such as the molecular regulation of flowering and canopy growth and some of the architectural and growth modelling techniques being used to predict how mangoes respond to growing at high density.
It has been an incredibly busy year for us and we would like to thank all growers who have participated in these experiments. We will continue to report on results in future editions of Mango Matters.
Please contact us at DAF at Mareeba on 07 4048 4600, if you are willing to have your KP orchard involved in the light interception trial work or if you would like more information about any of the trails.
We would also like to acknowledge the researchers who have contributed to the work presented in this article including Ian Bally, Paula Ibell, John Wilkie, Jim Hanan, Ram Kolala, Cheryl Maddox, Anahita Mizani and Carole Wright.
The Small Tree High Productivity Initiative is an initiative of the Queensland Government, which focuses on improved productivity of mango, macadamia and avocado. Major partners include the DAF, DAF's research alliance with The University of Queensland (Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation), and the NSW Department of Primary Industries.
This project has been funded by Horticulture Innovation Australia Limited using the Across Horticulture levy with co-investment from the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, and funds from the Australian Government. We are especially grateful to HIA and the various associated industries and horticultural businesses for their support for this project.

New Delaware Supreme Court nominee Strine speaks! (Well, sort of)
On Wednesday, Delaware Governor Jack Markell nominated Chancellor Leo Strine of Chancery Court to become chief justice of the state's Supreme Court. Assuming Strine's nomination is approved, Chancery Court is going to be a much less colorful place. Strine is a legal mastermind – with an unpredictable and outspoken judicial demeanor. Occasionally, his off-tangent courtroom riffs have landed him in trouble. In 2012, for instance, Strine said he regretted comments he made during a hearing involving fashion entrepreneur Tory Burch in which he asked her attorney if Burch is Jewish and compared her dispute with her former husband to a "drunken WASP-fest." Strine was also gently chided last year by his future colleagues on the Delaware Supreme Court for using judicial opinions to express his "world views."
My Reuters colleague Tom Hals has been covering Strine in court for years. Unfortunately, the chancellor has repeatedly declined to sit down for a formal interview with Reuters. So to celebrate his nomination, we've constructed an imaginary Q&A. Well, partly imaginary. We've made up the questions, but all of Strine's "answers" are verbatim quotes – albeit out of context – from his courtroom comments or opinions.
Reuters: You're well known for your work as a judge. But tell us a bit about you as a person.
Strine: I'm a guy who likes a good party.
Reuters: And something of a pop music aficionado as well?
Strine: You don't realize, although I may strike you as amazingly undisciplined in some ways, I am incredibly disciplined in others.
Reuters: I actually thought you were the disciplined type, to be honest. But you also have less-guarded moments, like that episode in that Burch hearing. Do you care to discuss your own faith? Do you take strength from your religious upbringing?
Strine: It's good to have been raised Catholic because there are some mysteries of faith.
Reuters: Really? What did you pray for as a boy?
Strine: That maybe (my) parents were going to sleep in; but nope. 9 a.m. Mass at St. Mary of the Assumption, you're going, get dressed, hurry.
Reuters: What are some of your accomplishments outside the court?
Strine: I spent seven years as a travel soccer coach.
Reuters: I was thinking more of your time as an associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
Strine: When I was an associate at Skadden, I was proud of that. I have a high regard for my former law firm.
Reuters: There was that episode when you were on the governor's staff in the 1990s when Skadden was alleged to wield too much power in the state. Do you worry those questions might crop up again if you are chief justice?
Strine: If I cold called a partner in the New York office, he wouldn't know who the freak I was.
Reuters: I sort of doubt that. But let's move on. When you joined the bench, how did your life change?
Strine: I'm eating less rib eye steak, which is good for cows.
Reuters: I'm told that's also good for your health. Have you tried giving up meat? Should others follow your example?
Strine: Frankly, then, it would be like horrible food smells, because vegans would try to have things taste like meat and that's synthetically awful and, frankly, morally weird to me that you want something to taste like an animal but you don't want to actually eat the animal. So you would have all these vegan restaurants in that case and that can be weird.
Reuters: Wow, do you have equally strong feelings about other sorts of food?
Strine: Like any American in front of a bowl of Frito's. No matter how much you don't want to eat it, and you know it's not good for you, if it's sitting in front of you for a half-hour, you're going to eat the Frito's. You may even eat a Dorito, which is a decidedly lower caliber junk food. And you walk around not only with the intestinal, digestive, longstanding waistline problems, but with this powdery substance of a color not existing in nature on your fingers just displaying your lack of willpower and courage.
Reuters: I see you given that some thought. Tell me, if you did ever grant me a formal interview in your office, what would I see there?
Strine: My assistant and I, we have a swear jar where we have to put money in if we start getting frustrated and swearing too much. So it costs us money.
Reuters: What do you find frustrating?
Strine: There are few things less fun than having everyone who appears before you want the same result and you being the sole reason they don't get it. But that comes with the territory.
Reuters: Do you think that once you join the Supreme Court you'll change the views you held on the Court of Chancery?
Strine: An absurd scenario, at best fit for a discussion by a Red Bull-fueled group of nerdy second-year law school corporate law junkies, who find themselves dateless (big surprise) on yet another Saturday night.
Reuters: See, this wasn't so bad. Maybe we can do it in person sometime. I'm a harmless reporter.
Strine: An unusually diligent Reuters stringer, I suppose.
Reuters: Not a stringer, but I'll accept the diligent part. Thanks again.

When you hear a word "burger", it automatically calls for fast food. This beauty not only can start a fancy evening, but will also let you stay slim (if consumed in moderation). For lazy/busy us, one can go with whole grain bun from the store, but this time I made it from scratch.
- 500 gr lean ground beef
- 2 big tomatoes
- Any green salad leaves you like
- 1 cucumber or pickles
- Red onion
- 200 gr mushrooms
- Splash of red wine
- 4% cooking cream
- Low fat cheese (you can get it in Rema store)
For buns:
- 260 g white flour, 240 g whole grain flour. (white flour should always be more than whole grain, for dough to rise). You can also use whole grain gluten free bread mix available in Rema 1000.
- 1/2 pack of yeast
- Pinch of sugar
- Tbs. olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- Black sesame seeds
- 200 ml warm water
- 1 egg yolk for brushing the buns
Dissolve yeast in water with a pinch of sugar in a bowl. Let it stay until the surface is a little bit foamy. Mix it in with flour, salt and olive oil. Keep mixing until dough doesn't stick to fingers and is even. Add flour or water if needed. Cover the bowl and set it in a warm place to rise for an hour. After your dough has risen, form it in small balls taking into consideration that dough will double while in oven. brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in preheated over of 200°C for 30 minutes.
Chop onion and mushrooms in in uneven pieces. Add to hot pan and splash with wine. Let it sauté for 3-4 minutes, add water if it starts to burn. At last, add cream and mix well. It will be ready in 5 minutes.
Form beef in even balls, depending on amount of your buns. Gently flatten and season if needed. Fry for 2 minutes or until ready on each side.
Build your burger as you wish, adding mushroom-red wine sauce as dressing. To hold it together, you can use tooth picks or bamboo grill sticks. Enjoy this little beauty!

22 February, 1960
Opening of the new Christchurch Airport terminal, designed by Paul Pascoe.
Yesterday, February 22nd, was the third anniversary of the devastating Christchurch earthquake. As is always the case with these sort of milestones, the time frame is hard to comprehend — it seems much more recent and far more distant all at once.
Coincidentally, February 22nd was also the date the new Christchurch airport terminal opened in 1960. The terminal building, designed by Christchurch-born architect Paul Pascoe, is a timely reminder of the very modern face of New Zealand design. While the building has now been replaced — its sleek and much-needed replacement opened last year — photographs reveal a design that reflected the confidence, optimism and glamour of the time.
My memories of the Christchurch airport are tied up entirely with my grandparents. Of finally seeing Granny after a year or more, and of saying goodbye again. In those innocent days, when passengers and those farewelling them wandered out to the tarmac, I could cling to her legs until the very last minute.

A outfit post has been way overdue. Since coming back to uni I haven't done one properly (I don't count a mirror snap of my pyjamas as an outfit post). This is mostly due to the fact that I have no photographer which makes things a little more complicated! Anyway, on Saturday I caught the train to London to meet my parents and my little brother and we spent the day exploring Hyde Park and seeing the sights of the city. Growing up living reasonably close to London, I've seen them all so many times but for some reason they never get less exciting. Had I not been with my family and I probably would've headed down Oxford Street to check out all the updates that have been going on. I keep hearing of new stores and places being done up and, yeah, I really don't need an excuse to go shopping anyway but what a great reason, right? So, on Saturday, when we merely drove past Marble Arch, I had to avert my eyes.
I don't usualy write about my outfit in outfit posts but I really loved this outfit. It was so comfortable for travelling to and exploring a city but I also felt that it was a little unusual for me. Recently I've been dying to get a long cardigan and after a lot of searching I finally found this one in New Look. I love the length and how cosy it feels when layered up. The bag and scarf were a really impromptu buy. I was browsing around the bag section looking for a purple tote and then I saw the bag. Its quite an unusual bag for me to buy. For starters it is very colourful, it's a rucksack and it's a little boxy but I just fell in love with it. Then I saw the scarf and god, I don't know if they were designed to be worn together but I couldn't buy one without the other.
But besides all of that, this outfit felt so wonderfully autumny. The big scarf. Knitwear. Berry colours, Dark lipstick. Crunchy leaves at my feet. It's just my heaven.

How're you guys enjoy the new season? What are you loving or looking forward to wearing this autumn?
Happy Monday!

Here's the only difference: a Paypal Enterprise Account means that you can arrange the account underneath your enterprise name. Earlier than I retired years ago, I sold used books online for years (and earlier than that by snail mail). Give you a easy utility and analysis editors on-line to seek out one that matches your skill degree. I used to be thinking about a web based artwork gallery – would be fun and I have loads of stuff to put on it. But, then there may be attracting paying prospects.
Among the finest option to make cash online is to create a weblog, and post on it consistently. Test our hub: 25 TOOLS TO MAKE YOUR OWN GAMES for an inventory of what's obtainable commercially and at no cost as some are open source and obtainable with a easy obtain. But with digital images, virtually all people jumped in. By the early 2000s there was no method that an individual like me may earn cash in images as only a hobby.
One other way to become profitable online is through writing Articles related to something that captures the curiosity of lots of people who use the web. Right here I will attempt to deliver to each reader new and modern ideas from many of the world's prime marketeers. Good web design is in high demand for many companies and when you have the know-how then you can make quick money designing and building web sites.

I both love and hate Versace. I love absolutely everything about the brand, the history, the opulence, Donatella, but I do hate one thing about it. I hate the fact that every season makes me google "non-sexual escorting" to come up with the funds for the whole collection…because I need it…which brings us to the Versace SS17 show. As you should know by now, even though I try to get away with doing as little exercise as possible, I'm all about the athleisure and sports luxe trend. Versace's SS17 collection has taken sports luxe to a whole new level, to a fabulous medusa-level of luxe.
Versace SS17
Never did I think I would be intrigued by nay, obsessed with nylon parachute parkas and nylon jackets with bungee cord toggles, but here I am adding them to my wish list. The trousers in the collection are skinny-only, luxe leggings if you will, with the sexy zip up the front used as detailing. The bags are also everything: as we know, the Palazzo Empire is now a staple, so the SS17 collection showcased different colour schemes and also the cutest, tiniest, most adorable baby purple Palazzo Empire riding side saddle on a model's hip. Nylon backpacks were spotted (I keep mentioning nylon because it's a pretty cheap material so I'm hoping I won't need to pimp myself out for too long), looking all cool and trendy on the models' backs.
Also, the shoes. Each season Versace comes out with a pair of glorious chunky-heeled platforms and SS17 is no exception – this time with some very athleisure appropriate neoprene Velcro straps.
Note to self: as much as you're quizzical about these Versace foam flatform sandals, they will be a thing, so Cassie, jump on that.
My favourite looks have to be the glorious black jumpsuit (#Need), Bella Hadid's whole look and the amazing red, navy and grey nylon sweatpants and matching leather jacket.
What did you think of the Versace SS17 show? What's on your wishlist?

The value of international visitors could grow by more than $2.5 billion by the end of the decade, according to Auckland Airport.
The NZX-listed airport has launched an initiative called Ambition 2020, which assessed the potential of the tourism sector.
Auckland Airport said there was potential to grow visitor arrivals to more than 3.5 million by 2020, compared with 2.6 million last year.
Spending by visitors, excluding international airfares, could grow ahead of official estimates, to at least $8.5 billion, compared with $5.76 billion in 2011, the airport said.
Chief executive Simon Moutter said the airport had set itself some ambitious targets for tourism growth.
"We intend to do this by working with our airline customers to attract more flights, preferably direct, on more routes from key source travel markets around the world, and by working with the industry to attract a more valuable mix of visitor segments," Moutter said.
Auckland Airport was investing in Asia-specific training workshops, social media programmes, celebrity ambassadors and establishing joint promotions with tourism partners.
Glenn Wedlock, Auckland Airport general manager of aeronautical commercial, said Asia, especially China, would provide the largest growth.
"China is a vital growth market for New Zealand and we see the market developing from 160,000 today to over 430,000 arrivals by 2020."

Violence in sports can be categorized into four categories:
- Brutal Body Contact is physical contact that is deemed within the parameters of the game and the sport's rules. An example would be a hard check in hockey or a tackle in football.
- Borderline Violence is a physical act that violates the game's rules and causes bodily injury but is still generally accepted by participants and spectators. An example may be elbowing an opponent while jostling for rebounding position in a basketball game.
- Quasi-Criminal Violence is an act that violates the sport's rules and possibly criminal laws. An example would be punching someone in the head during a soccer game.
- Criminal Violence is an extreme act that causes severe physical harm or even death and almost always results in criminal charges. An example would be a fight during a baseball game that results in a player going into a coma.
Contact us for assistance with your sports violence issue or concern.

The neoKit2 leverages earned media from Computer Active.Does your publication have an awards program? If you don't, you probably should. We have been pioneers in this area of marketing for many years and have helped publishers and companies in many other industries set up awards programs. But let's assume you do announce a series of magazine awards periodically – of course the winners are thrilled, but it also hands them a huge (often unexpected) marketing opportunity. And they will gladly pay you for the privilege of using your award logo and other related material in their marketing efforts. This is where we come in. Companies should not miss the opportunity to promote awards, and by us pointing out the benefits to all the lucky winners, we create a new income stream for you.
Wright's Media has many years of experience at leveraging awards through logo licensing agreements. By negotiating on your behalf, we obtain an agreement on how your logo assets will be used and for how long. Then, you sit back and reap the benefits. Beyond the additional income, there is an additional benefit to you, the publisher. Your logo assets are displayed to new audiences by the winners, and often these audiences are in new markets. This is what is known as a "win win win" situation. Award winners can use your logos in many ways, including:
Linksys promotes their Editor's Choice award
from Tom's Guide on their product packaging.Websites
- Social media profiles
- Print/digital ads
- Product packaging
- Email signatures
- In store displays
- Business cards
- Company swag
- TV, radio, billboards, etc.
- And much more, the sky's the limit
We create all of these display opportunities in-house, promoting both your award and the company that won it. If your firm has any kind of award program, call us and we can help you monetize it. If you currently don't have an award program, let us know. We have years of experience helping publishers create and market awards programs that pay for themselves many times over.

I can't get enough ginger this season. I bought a pack of candied ginger at Trader Joe's for a recipe and practically finished the whole pack before I even got cooking.
This easy cranberry martini with ginger is a perfect big-batch cocktail for a holiday party, and even more perfect after dinner with dessert. The secret is that these are actually very easy to make as far as cocktails go, but are definitely a spicier version of a holiday staple.
Cranberry Martini with Ginger
The perfect cocktail to celebrate the holidays and ring in the new year. Cheers!
- lime: 1
- sugar: 2 tablespoons
- vodka: 4 ounces
- cranberry juice (100% juice): 8 ounces
- freshly grated ginger root: 1 teaspoon
Step 1: Cut the lime into a few wedges and rub one of them on the rim of the glass. Then dip the glass rim in the sugar.
Step 2: Place some ice in a martini shaker. Add the vodka and cranberry juice, and shake well. Distribute evenly between two glasses. Place ½ teaspoon grated ginger into each glass. Drop in a few cranberries and enjoy.

Here's another disease-related item. This one is from Mike Davis, author of among other things City of Quartz, maybe the best book ever written about Los Angeles. The spread of disease highlights the network-ness of human relationships. Human beings are the nodes, the links are the contacts through which pathogens spread (the proximity to sneezes, sexual contacts, shared items, etc -- all mediated social connections). As Mike D.'s article shows, there is a definite class-dimension to the nature of the network.
A Deadly Plague of Slums
Here are some excerpts:
"Mass death soon may be coming to a neighborhood near you, and the Department of Homeland Security will be helpless to prevent it. The terrorist in this case will be a mutant offspring of influenza A subtype H5N1: the explosively spreading avian virus that the World Health Organization (WHO) worries will be the progenitor of a deadly global plague.
"But a true pandemic would probably overwhelm the world long before a vaccine could be developed and produced in large quantities. The potential accelerators of a new plague are the huge slums of Asia and Africa. Concentrated poverty, indeed, is one of the most important variables in any model of how a pandemic might grow.
"The bustees of Kolkata, the chawls of Mumbai, the kampungs of Jakarta, or the katchi abadis of Karachi are, from an epidemiological standpoint, landscapes saturated in gasoline, only awaiting an errant spark like H5N1. (Twenty million or more of the deaths in 1918-19 were in poor, congested and recently famished parts of British India.)
"During the debt crisis of the 1980s, the IMF, backed by the Reagan and Bush administrations, forced most of the third world to downsize public employment, devalue currencies and open their domestic markets to imports. The results everywhere were an explosion of urban poverty and sharp fall-offs in public services.
"A principal target of IMF austerity programs has been urban public health. In Zaire and Ghana, for instance, "structural adjustment" meant the laying off of tens of thousands of public health workers and doctors. Similarly in Kenya and Zimbabwe, implementation of IMF demands led to huge fall-offs in healthcare coverage and spending.
"Thanks to global neo-liberalism, then, disease surveillance and epidemic response are weakest precisely where they are most important: in the mega-slums of Asia and Africa. That's where the brushfire of H5N1 could turn into a deadly biological firestorm.
"In that event, it would consume more than just the poor. Once a new pandemic had acquired the momentum of mass mortality in Asia it would inexorably spread to North America and Europe. It would easily climb the walls of gated communities and other fortresses of privilege.
"Here, of course, is the rub. In the past, the rich countries, with few exceptions, have shown callous indifference to the monstrous human toll of AIDs in Africa or of the two million poor children annually claimed by malaria. H5N1 may be our unexpected reward. "

This report analyses 100 modern slavery statements produced by a range of commercial organisations. All statements are voluntary as they have been produced ahead of the statutory
deadline set out in the UK's Modern Slavery Act 2015.
While there are some good examples of relatively detailed statements, which set out a company's approach to due diligence in respect of modern slavery, the majority do not go much beyond setting out broad commitments to ensure that there is no modern slavery in the relevant company's supply chains and descriptions of policies to support these commitments.
Most statements are brief (nearly all are under 1000 words and half are under 500 words) though we may expect these to expand as reporting becomes mandatory and as due diligence activity – and confidence to report - increases.

Branding as a solo-female entrepreneur is a whirlwind. It's about perfectly crafting an experience that makes your target audience feel just the right mixture of emotions AND lets your personality flow into that… oh, AND it needs to be visually appealing.
I'm here to help you build a solid brand, with or without having a large budget for it. I am going to reveal the game-changing secret ingredient that will make your brand stand out. It's YOU!
Yep, it's about to get reaaaal personal. Branding your business, and staying on brand, is like a daily personality check. Why personality check, you ask? Because girlfriend, I hate to break it to ya.. but you are your walking brand, everyday. *everyone gasps in awe*
We sometimes have a perfect logo, a solid color palette and want to move forward with expanding a brand, but feel totally lost. This is where your personality comes in. What sets you apart? Who is your audience? Why would someone want to work with you over Joe-Schmoe down the street? But seriously, are you letting your unique personality do it's job for your business? #deep
Your brand is the way you communicate to others at the grocery store, the way you comment on your friends Instagram posts, the way you dress to visit clients, and yes, even the way you love on others.
Branding is more than having a nice logo, it's how you treat the people you encounter everyday, because you never know who could be your next client!
I always struggled with my brand until recently when I had a potential client visit my Instagram. He said "Wow, you've got a killer brand." When I asked what he liked about it, his answer changed my perspective on what successful branding really is. He said "I feel like I know you from your positive encouraging Instagram posts. You're so transparent and full of energy. I want to be friends with you and I definitely want to work with you!" Boom. There it was. Everything I was working to convey in my business was being nailed down simply by letting my personality shine through in my Instagram posts. That's branding—just being your best, brightest self!
If you're still struggling to find your direction, I recommend taking this personality quiz and using the words to describe you almost as your core values. As you continue posting online, corresponding via email, and taking client calls, you should always make sure you're reflecting your core values!
In closing, stay true to your heart, personality and dream clients—and make sure your brand follows suit! If you need help creating the visual part of your brand, connect with me and we'll make magic happen, together!
This was a post that I wrote as a Guest Blogger for SDH Strategy. You can view original post here.
Sarah Hale is the brains and beauty behind SDH Strategy. She a business strategist, brand consultant, and entrepreneur with a passion for helping people use their unique influence to make the world a better place.
I have had the honor of knowing Sarah for almost 5 years now as a client, dear friend, and most recently, a business mentor! While I was still working my 9-5 desk job, Sarah would meet with me on Sunday mornings to encourage me to make the jump and that "I could do it!!" Even if I didn't always believe it myself, she was always cheering me on! Thanks, girl!
Now it's my turn to cheer her on! HUGE congratulations to the recent launch of SDH Strategy and Sip+Strategy! If you haven't signed up to do a consultation with Sarah yet, do that here!
Pssst... Doesn't her branding rock?! Thanks, I did it! hehe

Scoop: AMERICAN GREED 68 on CNBC - Thursday, February 21, 2013
"American Greed 68 - Shipwrecked":Michael Vorce claims to have a fleet of more than 50 luxury yachts. He has the papers to prove it. Those papers and a charming pitch are all he needs to con bank loan officers out of tens of millions of dollars in loans. The reason it's a con? Many of his yachts never existed and the papers are fake. He's using bank money to live the life of a 20-something playboy driving fast cars and speedboats. He throws down thousand dollar tips at bars in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. In one year alone, he spends more than $100,000 in clothes, $300,000 on home furnishings and another $250,000 on cars. But when the bank loans come due, the bankers want to know where are all the boats and where is the money?

Painting our Home – A Lean Philosophy
This probably is the scenario in most households though the adults have to bring some rationale or even overrule their suggestions at times. Adults in this context usually refer to the ladies of the house as when it comes to colour schemes, the man even if he is a pro, doesn't stand a chance.
However, not everybody can visualize the final looks of any particular space based on a small swatch of colour available in the shade card. Many a times the final product comes as a bitter surprise to the owners generating unwanted stress and leading towards expensive rework. The "smart paint finder tool " has ushered in a revolutionary new era where the family could gather around to select the colours looking at the end product painted virtually before splashing a single drop of paint on the wall. It is now less stressful for families who are looking forward to having their new dream home painted or having the house repainted.
This is an efficient method for saving cost and time for the owner at the same time friendly to the environment. This is a striking example of "lean philosophy" put into practice.
When it comes to the choice of colours, our genes are pre-coded and my daughter's selection based on the " dusted pink " doesn't come as a surprise. As a girl moves towards adolescent her choice of colours shifts from pink towards purple. This embodies the balance of red simulation and blue calm. This dichotomy however, can be the cause of uneasiness unless the undertone is clearly defined letting purple take on the characteristics of its undertone. For adults like us this creates a sense of mysticism through its royal qualities like uplifting, calming mind and nerves and offering a sense of spirituality. Purple is often the favourite of very creative or eccentric people.

To that end, Rodriquez is the lead plaintiff in a $31 million class-action lawsuit against Pacific Steel, the foundry for which is located in Berkley.
The basis for the California labor lawsuit is the alleged failure to provide timely meal and rest breaks on the part of the defendant.
At a press conference, Rodriquez noted that the basis for his lawsuit lay in a long-standing rule allegedly implemented by the company, that mandated an employee was not allowed to take a meal break until he or she had worked for a full six hours.
The California Labor Code, however, clearly states that employees are to be afforded a 30-minute meal break within each five-hour work period, according to a story published December 23 in the Contra Costa Times. An attorney representing Rodriquez in the class-action lawsuit told those gathered at a news conference just before Christmas that some workers at Pacific Steel have been regularly made to remain on the clock for 6.5 hours or longer, without a meal break.
The lead plaintiff, speaking at his California and labor law press conference, revealed back when he was working, he would regularly report to his supervisors that he was hungry prior to his meal break.
Their response? "'…If you don't like it, there's the door,'" Rodriquez recalled. He could accept the policy and the circumstances, or he could leave.
Rodriquez, 63, noted in his remarks that a recent spate of layoffs at the foundry served as a catalyst for his California labor employment law initiative. A federal immigration audit launched in February of last year concluded that dozens of workers at Pacific Steel's Berkley foundry could be suspected of being in the country illegally. In response, Pacific Steel began a spate of layoffs commencing in October. It is reported that further layoffs will take place through January.
"I wanted to do this for years—since they made this rule about having to take lunch after six hours of work," Rodriguez said at his press conference. A number of his former colleagues, those who were able to attend the press conference (while on a meal break), approached the plaintiff afterwards to extend their thanks for taking up their cause.
The California labor law complaint was filed in Alameda County Superior Court and represents about 1,000 current and former works at the three-plant compound at Pacific Steel in Berkley. The lawsuit seeks an hour of pay for each day worked without a timely meal break over the past four years. It is estimated that each worker would be entitled to about $20,000 should the lawsuit prove successful.

Okay, Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. Eva Chen sees your cute baby tweets and raises you a ridiculously adorable baby photo shoot complete with silver balloons spelling out her little one's name. That's just how fashion editors roll.
Meet little Ren, that precious creature snuggled up in the Lucky editor's loving arms. Maybe it's mama's sweater, the swaddling cloth, or that couch, but something tells us baby girl's already got a signature color. It ain't pink, and it's probably designer.
This isn't Ren's first time on social media. Chen announced both her pregnancy and her daughter's birth on Instagram. How long before she gets her own account with flawlessly curated #OOTD posts and a legion of fans? #RenChenForTheWin.

Does Wealthy Affiliate Really Work?
I understand that many of you will be skeptical when you hear about Wealthy Affiliate and the claims that one can make good money online using their system. I wanted to give you a few examples of people that have been successful thanks to Wealthy Affiliate to help ease any doubts about it.
Pauric is an amazing example of how Wealthy Affiliate changes lives. Pauric became a member of Wealthy Affiliate five years ago in 2012, at which time he was trying to find a way to make him passive income online, but everything else he had tried was costing him a lot of money. Within just a week of joining Wealthy Affiliate, however all of his efforts up to that point and everything that had been missing came together and his websites finally began turning a profit.
The part of Wealthy Affiliate that really helped Pauric was the amazing, easy-to-follow, and clearly-outlined trainings. These helped guide Pauric step by step, giving him actionable tools he could immediately utilize. The great part of Wealthy Affiliate for Pauric was that he didn't have to wait years and cross his fingers to hopefully, some day, make money. He was able to turn a profit within only a short time of signing up with Wealthy Affiliate. Instead of being broke and in the hole starting up an online business, he now gets to work anywhere he wants and is making passive income while he hops from cafe to cafe and beach to beach.
Leoemery is also awesome the way he created success using Wealthy Affiliate. He had been engaged in online business 7 years before even joining, but he realized the potential he had to increase his profits by following everything Wealthy Affiliate had to offer. He was able to tap into Wealthy Affiliate's wide array of resources and make even more passive income!
The biggest factor to Leoemery's success was something almost entirely unique to Wealthy Affiliate: access and an ability to network with other like-minded online marketers. He himself has repeatedly and publically thanked individuals on Wealthy Affiliate who have helped him along the way to become a true powerhouse and wealth of knowledge in online marketing. The coolest part of Leoemery's online business is that it is entirely dedicated to new marketers who want to start their own online businesses! He gives everything he has to dedicate his time and talents to others who are looking to start their own journeys into affiliate marketing. Even with more than 2000 friends and followers on Wealthy Affiliate, he believes in sharing inside online marketing secrets so much that he always takes the time to answer everyone's questions who approach him for help. Leoemery is a prime example of the wonderful type of people anyone can connect with on Wealthy Affiliate.
Take a look at Dom. Dom is a web designer who wanted to learn how to increase his clientele base and earn more money managing web sites. While there is a demand for this, Dom was still interested in learning in making his passion and career into something bigger and better that offered more financial freedom. Within just a short time of joining Wealthy Affiliate, Dom was able to become his own boss and now lives in Taiwan where he is able to work wherever he wants.
The main thing that Wealthy Affiliate was able to do for Dom was provide him with a system and pattern of success through their amazing trainings and platform for communicating with other online business owners, even those related to his own niche! The best thing about Dom's success, as he puts it, is that he doesn't have to worry about not making money if he takes a day or two off work or wants to do something for vacation. With the steps Wealthy Affiliate has taught him to creating an online business, he has been able to generate passive income, and his flexible schedule gives him all the freedom in the world to pursue his passions and enjoy life the way he wants it.
Abigail is also a perfect example of the small and simple successes that comprise the overall financial freedom Wealthy Affiliate can help you attain. Abigail's online business is dedicated to affiliate products associated with meditation, healing, and music. After she joined Wealthy Affiliate, she saw an immediate improvement in her ability to sell products, and ended up selling a total of 11 different products for a commission that went straight into her pocket. Now, she is a Wealthy Affiliate guru and source of online marketing knowledge. All it took for her were these slow and steady gains that resulted in sales over and over each month.The best part for Abigail is that everyone, including her customers, benefited from what she was doing. She has claimed that it gives her joy to help people who really need it, and selling her affiliate products is just one way she has been able to bring her passion to life for so many others. What really helped Abigail? The supportive community of entrepreneurs that have helped guide her along to where she is today.
When it comes to testimonials of Wealthy Affiliate, Wendy is a powerhouse. Wendy started out selling adult board games online, something she was interested and enjoyed, but wasn't taking in much revenue. After joining Wealthy Affiliate, she surpassed her previous sales by far and has continued to make an incredible, sustainable income. In fact, she increases her overall profits by 30% to 50% every month! Her rate of improvement has skyrocketed since joining Wealthy Affiliate, and it is all due to her training and willingness to take the dive into something new and a little scary but reap a really big reward!
Wendy has claimed time and time again that joining Wealthy Affiliate is one of the best things anyone can do if they want to improve their online business presence. She loves that she was provided with everything she needed to succeed, especially a WordPress website with tons of functionality and customizable features. The best part of Wendy's success? She now has more than 10 streams of income coming in, all of which work passively for her because of her implementation of Wealthy Affiliate's system.
These are just a few examples of the many success stories that are out there thanks to Wealthy Affiliate. What is great about Wealthy Affiliate, however, is that you don't need to take my or any one else's word for it. You can access the community and training for free today and see for yourself how Wealthy Affiliate will help you succeed online!
