Judging from its recently-reported first-quarter results, Kraft Foods’ Cadbury acquisition and focus on emerging markets like India, China and Brazil seems to be paying off. Total revenue for the quarter increased 11%, to $12.6 billion, as sales rose 40% in India, and 20% each in China and Indonesia.

- Kirstie Alley Selling Secluded Maine Waterfront Cottage
Miss Alley, currently experiencing a slight career revival thanks to “Dancing with the Stars,” is looking to tango her way out of homeownership of a frilly, ladylike cottage in Islesboro, Maine. Unbeknownst to many, Kirstie is the long-time owner of a cottage nestled on a private 16 acres with gorgeous waterfront property on pretty Islesboro Island. Built in 1993, the property measures 3,371 square feet and was purchased in April 2003 for $1,150,000. If you’ve never heard of Islesboro Island, you’re not alone. It’s a very quiet community accessible only by ferry or private plane. While it’s not your traditional celebrity hot-spot, Kirstie counts John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston as nearby neighbors. They’ve been part-time residents on the islands since sometime in the 1990′s and had their vacation home featured in a 1999 issue of Architectural Digest. ミスアリーは、現在にわずかなキャリアの復活のおかげで経験して。。u0026quot;ダンシングウィズザスターズ、。。u0026quot;Islesboro、メイン州のフリル、おしとやかコテージの持ち家のタンゴに彼女の方法を探している
- More Facebook Lessons: How Filters Can Bite You in the Banana
Earlier this week, I got word that two large companies--Dole and Chiquita--targeted by an environmental group (Forest Ethics) for using tar sands oil to transport their bananas, were responding to posts on their wall related to the campaign by shutting down their walls and deleting comments. There were screenshots--lots of them--to prove it and it all sounded very reminiscent of the Nestle-Greenpeace debacle a year or so ago. I wrote up a quick post about it that has sparked a lively debate over who's at fault for mishandling the social communication strategy in these instances, the folks running social media strategy or the suits in the legal department? _NULL_

- The challenge of keeping Nepalese girls in school | Emma Reynolds
Poor, marginalised, illiterate girls and women have little access to resources and opportunities. Cultural and socioeconomic barriers to female education must be tackled to change thisNestled between the Asian economic giants China and India, Nepal shares with India a caste system in which discrimination is still a fact of everyday life. Its population of 30 million includes more than 100 ethnic groups, nearly as many languages and 60 castes and sub-castes. Caste and gender remain the major barriers to education. If you are a girl from a Dalit or an indigenous family, you are unlikely to go to school or complete primary education.At the other end of the spectrum, power and money is largely concentrated in the hands of the Brahmin caste, including most senior politicians and the new Maoist prime minister, Baburam Bhattarai.Since the abdication of the king in 2006 and the end of the decade-long civil war, the political situation has been in a state of turmoil. No party secured a majority in the 2008 general elections, although the Maoists secured the largest number of seats. Since then, successive short-lived governments have failed to resolve fundamental issues, such as how to devolve power to a local level, disarming the Maoists ex-combatants, and writing a new constitution.The caretaker education minister and many of the parliamentarians who I met during my VSO placement last month, admit that education does not get the attention it deserves. Resolving the country's political problems overshadows other priorities. Moreover, many politicians send their children to private schools in the capital, and the Kathmandu-based political elite rarely visit their constituencies.This is compounded by an absence of elected local government, which has led to the politicisation of sc _NULL_

- Economic impacts of biodiversity loss: case studies
From forests in Japan to sea turtles in Tanzania to Scottish school dinners, the evidence of the global biodiversity crisis is evident• The economic case for saving biodiversityForests, JapanConcerned about widespread abandonment and degradation of forests in Japan, the national Science Council carried out a study of the benefits of taking action to save them. Their report put the total value of the ability to absorb carbon dioxide; use of wood instead of fossil fuels; reduction of erosion and flooding; regulation of and cleaner rivers, and health and recreation, at ¥70 trillion (£535bn) every year. This evidence was used in many prefectures to introduce a new annual tax of ¥500-1,000 a person and ¥10,000-80000 for businesses specifically to fund restoration and enhancement.Mineral waters, FranceSo contaminated was the land around Vittel's natural mineral water source in the Vosges mountains of eastern France, the Nestlé brand was forced to consider moving to a new location. Instead, they paid farmers to solve the problem for them. For payments of €150,000 (£130,000) to cover new equipment and another €200 per hectare of land each year, farmers agree to stop using agrochemcials, compost animal waste and reduce stocking rates for two to three decades. From 1993 to 2000 the total cost to Vittel for the 5,100 hectare area was €17m - a fraction of the company's mineral multi-billion Euro mineral water sales.Sea turtles, TanzaniaNumbers of sea turtles on Tanzania's Mafia Island have surged since local people began to be paid to stop eating them.
