What consumers want in GM food labeling is simpler than you think

June 24, 2016 3.42pm BST

The fast-approaching July 1, 2016, deadline for Vermont’s new labeling law – and a new federal proposal that would set a national system for disclosure – for genetically modified (GM) food has provoked a range of responses from food manufacturers while reigniting debate about the need to balance the weight of scientific evidence against consumer demand for transparency. At the center of the debate lay questions of trust in science and how the ways we communicate risk serve to increase or decrease that trust.

Map created by JCRules va WikimediaThe map above shows countries where the head of state, politicians, public officials, public figures and/or their close family/associates are implicated in the Panama Papers (so far).

Just a few of the people implicated include:

  • Argentine President Mauricio Macri
  • President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine
  • Prime Minister of Iceland Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson
  • President of the United Arab Emirates Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan
  • Brother-in-law of China’s paramount leader Xi Jinping
  • The father of British Prime Minister David Cameron
  • Son of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak
  • Children of Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
  • Family of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
  • Nephew of South African President Jacob Zuma
  • Grandson of Kazakhstani President Nursultan Nazarbayev
  • Personal secretary of Moroccan King Mohammed VI
  • Sudanese President Ahmed al-Mirghani
  • Emir of Qatar Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani
  • Prime ministers of Georgia Bidzina Ivanishvili
  • Prime Minster of Iraq Ayad Allawi
  • Prime Minster of Jordan Ali Abu al-Ragheb
  • Prime Minster of Ukraine Pavlo Lazarenko
  • Prime Minster of Moldova Ion Sturza

Finally, while Russian Vladimir Putin has widely been reported as the most high profile person implicated, his name appears nowhere in the Panama Papers. As the Guardian reports:

Though the president’s name does not appear in any of the records, the data reveals a pattern – his friends have earned millions from deals that seemingly could not have been secured without his patronage.

 

How a Vietnamese Refugee Is Rethinking Food Delivery in America

Munchery CEO Tri Tran opens up about his harrowing journey to Silicon Valley.

Bloomberg.com – Tri Tran was always looking for something better to eat than government gruel. He grew up in the desperately lean decade after the end of the Vietnam War, in the small city of Ba Ria, about 50 miles southeast of Ho Chi Minh City. Because his parents were public school teachers, they received discounts on rations of rice, root vegetables, and a paste made from sorghum, which his mother cooked together. The paste was barely enough to subsist on and gave Tran terrible digestive problems. So he, his older brother, Trac, and their father occasionally sneaked into desiccated rice fields to gather wild vegetables and, if they were lucky, paddy crabs.

Tran’s parents knew their sons faced limited prospects. Tran was only 11 years old in 1986, but he remembers failed escape attempts, brokered by shady operators who skirted the communist government’s prohibition on leaving the country. Once, the family stowed away in a canoe and paddled into the middle of Ganh Rai Bay to meet a larger boat that never arrived. Later, walking back from the bay after another failed attempt, they were caught by police and thrown in jail for 24 hours.

Triết lý của trả lương cao

05/09/2015 08:36 GMT+7

TTCTHẳn Henry Ford, ông chủ của Công ty Ford Motor, khi quyết định trả lương cho công nhân cao hơn mức thông thường ở thời điểm đầu thế kỷ 20, đã có những suy nghĩ thực tiễn về vấn đề này. Các lý thuyết kinh tế khác nhau cũng đã đưa ra nhiều phân tích về lợi ích của việc trả lương cao.

Năm 1914, Công ty Ford bắt đầu trả lương cho công nhân 5 USD/ngày khi mà mức lương phổ biến vào thời điểm đó chỉ khoảng 2-3 USD/ngày. Henry Ford tin rằng lương cao làm tăng sự ổn định của lực lượng lao động và giúp đỡ con người tập trung làm việc vì gia đình họ được hỗ trợ đầy đủ về vật chất.

Động cơ của Ford là gì? Sau này Henry Ford cho biết: “Chúng tôi trả mức lương như vậy để đặt công ty trên nền tảng lâu dài. Chúng tôi xây dựng cho tương lai. Doanh nghiệp (DN) trả lương thấp không có tương lai… Việc trả 5 USD/ngày làm việc tám giờ là một trong những biện pháp cắt giảm chi phí tuyệt vời nhất mà chúng tôi thực hiện”.
