Coca-Cola Amatil's 100% recyclable bottle, FSSAI regulatory developments, halal blockchain and more are amongst our top stories trending on social media, featured in this edition of Hot Right Now.
More control: FSSAI wants to expand jurisdiction over India's food imports and exports
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is looking to amend the Food Safety and Standards (FSS) Act to expand its jurisdiction over the country's food product exports, in addition to relaxing licenses and gaining control over animal feed.
Thus far, food product exports in India have not been listed under the purview of any domestic agency or the FSS Act.
According to statistics from the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), the value of US$18.6bn (INR11.9mn) in the FY2017-2018 timeframe from US$16.2bn (INR10.8mn) in FY2016-2017.
As of June 24, this has already hit US$18.7bn (INR13mn) for the FY2018-2019 timeframe.
New halal blockchain traceability tool touted as a supply chain 'gamechanger'
An online halal agrifood marketplace with a focus on blockchain food traceability, is poised to bring added traceability benefits to the halal economy.
OneAgrix's B2B platform will not only be able to track and trace halal produce and ingrediens, it will verify the authenticity of a manufacturer's halal certificate before a potential buyer can make a purchase. The data will be vetted and secured through a blockchain ledger to help combat halal food fraud and counterfeiting.
Blockchain is essentially an immutable records system whereby each part of the supply chain registers details that cannot be changed except through the full agreement of every member of the chain. By creating records that cannot be changed, traceability can be ensured.
It is widely recognised that a spate of fake halal products and dodgy certification has brought a growing need for more transparency in the segment. With blockchain already being used in the mainstream food industry, OneAgrix's is taking it to the halal segment with a solution powered by the OriginTrail protocol developed by Hong Kong tech startup Trace Labs.
Fizzy logic: Coca-Cola Amatil introduces Australia's first fully recyclable soft drink container
Australian beverage giant Coca-Cola Amatil has recently announced its pioneering development of a 100% recyclable, carbonated-pressure proof soft drink bottle.
This invention is a first for carbonated drinks, and has been hailed by the company as a 'major step forward for sustainability'.
"[Pressure] inside a soft drink bottle is up to 100 psi, or three times the pressure in a car tyre. So the bottle for carbonated drinks needs to be much stronger than for still beverages, and that's been an obstacle in using 100% recycled materials for these types of drinks," said Group Managing Director Alison Watkins.
"[We've] overcome this challenge through innovation and design, and we're now the first in Australia to make 100% recycled plastic bottles for carbonated beverages."
Healthy food in Australia: Three major trends to influence new product development revealed
An increasing focus on gut health, alternative protein sources and better-for-you product development are amongst the major trends that industry experts have identified as crucial to the Australian healthy foods industry.
Speaking at the Naturally Good 2019 Business Summit, Natural Products Consulting Principal Bob Burke and IRI Worldwide Chief Commercial Officer – Asia Pacific Alistair Leathwood discussed key factors and trends in the health foods market, and how businesses can take advantage of these.
'Wrong move, wrong time': India's colour coded labelling regulations draft hit red light with industry
A new food labelling regulations draft published by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) suggesting colour coded labelling for products high in fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) has drawn fervent protest from the nation's food and beverage industry.
The Food Safety and Standards (Labelling and Display) Regulations, 2019 has been moved forward from its stakeholder-debate phase earlier this year in March with the majority of proposals put forth then being included in the new regulations draft.
As per the draft, all packaged food labels would need to include the product's name, a vegetarian vs non-vegetarian declaration, and information on its per serve contribution of energy, saturated fat, trans fat, added sugar and sodium to Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA).

Responses to The UNESCO report, Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education
Faculty, researchers, and students from the MLFTC community contribute their own thoughts and reactions towards the recently released UNESCO report Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education, pausing to reflect and imagine the future within their areas of research and practice.
These responses are part of the broader Learning Futures Collaboratives, and specifically connects to the panel discussion convened on February 14, 2022 around the UNESCO report.

My research examines learning to teach and the ways that we prepare general and special education teachers to meet the needs of students with disabilities within inclusive classrooms. As I read the UNESCO report, I feel excited and hopeful! This report celebrates both students and their teachers as global citizens and considers the "transformational potential" of education as a pathway to improved and sustainable futures for every child, youth and adult. I appreciate the firm position that the report takes on education as a fundamental human right. This principle is imperative to me as the right to a free and appropriate public education is a cornerstone of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the legislation in America that ensures students with disabilities are provided the individualized education they need to thrive. In reflection, I am left wondering several thoughts. First, what does inclusive education for students with disabilities look like when reimagined? Second, as special education teacher educators, how do we prepare educators with the knowledge and skills necessary for these spaces? The report challenges institutes of higher education to renew their mission and offers several recommendations which center interconnectedness, collaboration, compassion, and intentional assessments; however, what does the future of teacher education look like when reimagining how teachers might learn to become leaders within these redefined spaces and what policies might need to be in place to help this vision come to fruition?

UNESCO's (2022) report (hereafter The Report), "Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education," provides an overview of the current state of education, pointing to the myriad persistent challenges that preclude the achievement of accessible quality education for all. The Report re-examines the foundational principles of education, calls for the elimination of outdated practices, and highlights the need to envision new directions together. In order for learners— children, youth and adults—to receive quality education, we must not hesitate to pursue change, however radical that change may seem. Providing quality education for all is not the responsibility of a single government, organization, or individual; rather, The Report describes this as a shared vision, a "social contract" that everyone must embrace.
One particular proposal advances the view that everyone must participate in building the future of education. For the past few decades, there have been movements that aim to respect indigenous knowledge and to reflect the voices of children, youth, parents, communities and teachers in policymaking, practice and research. Despite such efforts, global and national education agendas are still driven by those with power; short-term and more tangible goals are prioritized; and research methods that are familiar and easy are preferred. The Report urges us not to be discouraged by such realities; rather, it redirects us to the 'shared vision' of a world in which peoples' diverse experiences are respected, ways of knowing are accepted, and voices are heard—regardless of their backgrounds.
In research, the first step should be elevating the voices of the 'voiceless.' This includes the marginalized populations with overlapping vulnerabilities (e.g. children and youth, women and the differently abled, refugees and immigrants, to mention a few), whose voices and knowledges are often "unrecognized, uncanonized and omitted" (p.127). Collaborative research projects that are youth-led, culturally relevant, and appropriate should be pursued by researchers (and funded by donors), however complicated and time-consuming they may be. Listening to and including the perspectives of these populations is not a 'choice' but a 'shared duty.' With such attempts (and also failures), our reimagined future will no longer remain a vision but become a reality.

"Interconnectedness and interdependencies should frame pedagogy" is directly related to holistic education, a framework that meets the needs and recommendations outlined in UNESCO's report. I aspire to help bring this model into mainstream education. Holistic education is centered around human relationships, connections between subject areas, and awareness of a reciprocal relationship to the Earth. Students are encouraged to develop body awareness and a relationship with their inner lives. Educators integrate themes and learning across subjects. Emphasis is placed on interconnections between students in the classroom, school, surrounding community and the global community. Students learn about their dependence on the vitality of the Earth for their health and wellbeing, individually and collectively. My research focuses on mindfulness, relationships, and creative self-expression in educational settings. These practices encourage inner reflection, discovery of new meaning, and possibility. Students who emerge from schooling with a strong sense of self-knowledge, place in the world, and ability to think critically will flourish and transform society. Moving from a culture of competition into a culture of compassion by creating systems of care for the whole child will enable us to turn vision into reality.

The kinds of big, wicked problems that UNESCO describes—from climate change to systemic inequity—all point to a planet and humanity in peril. These problems need to be addressed, not by doing what's been done before, but through creativity. Creativity informs all invention, discovery, new knowledge development and offers novel, fresh, multifaceted, diverse approaches, befitting the complex problems we face. Chapter 8 of the report, starting with a quote from Linda Tuhiwai Smith around decolonizing resonated with me. Dr. Tuhiwai Smith's work points to the need to decolonize research methods and the importance of not being limited by the disciplinary constraints and restrictions to using only commonly known, accepted methods. This chapter makes important comments about decolonizing knowledge and allowing for the reality that Indigenous systems can and do produce credible knowledge, rather than seeing them as merely the object of study. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on the broadening the discourse even while acknowledging the value of standard approaches (such as, quantitative or qualitative, big data, learning sciences, statistical data, evaluation and ranking). This is true to some degree but is not the whole story. David Berliner has noted that for most of its history, educational research has had a case of science envy, preferring to uphold a limited set of research paradigms (i.e., often experimental methods, high quantitative designs are often lauded as "gold standard", particularly by policymakers). That is not to say that these methods are bad or wrong—but they are only a small slice of knowledge production. This report aims to broaden the call — but it's also important to recognize that while a range of research methods have happened in education, a small subset of them have received most of the credence as "rigorous, empirical" work. At the end of the day, the references to research innovation presented don't offer a lot toward really rethinking what has been done before in terms of what research means or could mean. That said, the overall tone and dynamic in this call is one that does speak to inclusion and openness in research approaches and knowledge, and that's a good thing. If that were to become the case, the potentialities of creativity and innovation in research could begin to move the needle in the right direction of the educational, societal, and global problems we face.

The call for action in the UNESCO report is timely and proposes a fundamental reimagining of education at multiple levels in across the globe. The Covid pandemic starkly exposed the inequities, inadequacies and challenges that has long been a feature of educational systems. Can this crisis be the wakeup call for urgent action that is both innovative in design and transformative in outcomes? The ideas presented in this report would suggest that the answer is, yes!
Issues of equity, inclusion, justice and wellbeing woven throughout this report reinforce the importance of education for our societies now and in the future. The future of learning, the future of work, the future of democratic structures and the future of sustainable life on this planet itself, will be shaped by the changes made to education systems right now. This report points to the need for new knowledge and ideas to shape content and delivery mechanisms, technologies that enhance pedagogy and access to education, and the investments that must be prioritized to realize the ideals articulated here. The framing of education as a social good, places the humans involved—both educators and learners—at the heart of the redesign challenge. The invitation in this report is for people to connect, in solidarity, to take on the challenges involved to create a new and vital social contract for education.

The UNESCO report, "Reimagining our Futures Together: A New Social Contract for Education", positions education as a response to the multifaceted challenges faced by the planet and its people. However, these challenges pose many questions and yield fewer answers. In this context, I wonder if education needs to focus less on deriving answers and more on asking better questions – of ourselves, our relations with each other and the planet, and of how we envision the future.
Taking this approach activates a critical, emancipatory, and pluralistic quest that situates education as one of many drivers enacting transformation. This entails an emphasis on education – and the individual and collective change that it stimulates – as an existential activity. In this case, education is not merely a technical and cognitive pursuit, but engages values and mindsets to enable being and becoming in reflexive ways. Amidst complexity and uncertainty, education is not about having the answers to solve the problem, but about asking questions and demonstrating the resilience and humility to endure the journey.
As the report beckons us to do, let us undertake the work of reimagining education and the futures that it can enable. But in this endeavor, let us also cultivate further dimensions and possibilities for what education can mean and how we negotiate that meaning. To do so, we will need to be honest yet hopeful, audacious yet diligent. Through these qualities, we can come, as the poet Rainer Maria Rilke advised, to "love the questions" and "live the questions now" in the present, as we reimagine and remake the future of education.

Maya Angelou is often quoted to have said that education liberated her, and I acknowledge how, as a biracial Queer woman, I too have, in some ways, been liberated through my engagement with formal learning in schools, and later in the academy. In Reimaging Our Futures Together—A New Social Contract for Education, UNESCO (2021) implores us to see education across lifespans as potentially liberating for all. The report encourages us to reimage the future of learning and unlearning by "approach[ing] knowledge as a great human accomplishment" (p. 65). It is an ambitious call for us—as learners and educators and researchers—to interrogate and dismantle persistent power structures, racist and classist institutions, and the damaging extraction of resources across our planet. I want to take up this call and do my part, but I am also left questioning: Education for who, and for what purposes? I think about the refugees, displaced persons and other migrants whom I center in my scholarship and service—most of them, poor, black, brown, and linguistically marginalized. And, I wonder if the reimaged future in the UNCESCO report is for them. I want to believe that it is, and I try to envision how they will participate in what is described in the report as a collective global endeavor. In my ponderings, I return to the full quote by Maya Angelou: "In so many ways, segregation shaped me, and education liberated me." It is difficult to know if those who have already been shaped by being multiply marginalized and segregated across the globe—whose rights, dignity, and humanity have so often been depreciated—will see themselves in this new social contract, in this call for education to be liberating. I want to believe that they will, and because of that, I am committed to the collective effort demanded by the UNESCO report.

As we look around at the still-unfolding aftermath of the pandemic, the evidence we've been tracking is clear: Our students need help now. Students missed many months worth of instruction and suffered socially and emotionally. We must address their immediate needs, but we must also find a way to build a more equitable, nimble, and responsive American education system.
Doing so will require more than tutoring programs and other school-based interventions. It will require an ambitious national vision and goals for rebuilding and a commitment to track progress toward attaining that vision. It will require deep investment in research and development to rethink how we can deliver education and social services in fundamentally new ways. And it will require bold and inspiring leadership to build new constituencies for change across the education, health care, business, faith, and civic communities.
While the kids certainly aren't all right now, too many weren't all right before. As we look toward recovery and rebuilding, we must be clear-eyed about what this generation of students is owed, and we must commit to rebuilding in a way that ensures the system is more resilient and prepared for future crises, that builds on positive developments, and that delivers on the potential of future generations of students.

Towards a futures thinking approach: expanding knowledge, data, and evidence
A response to – Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education
Chapter 8 of the UNESCO Report calls out the over-prevalence of educational systems being influenced by the data-driven strategies of the global north, and the potential peril resulting from this myopic approach to global education as we enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution, an era anticipating physical, digital, and biological innovations and disruptions at a scale unprecedented in human history.
I would present a further call to action to adopt a Futures Thinking methodology for the research on the futures of education. Through the intentional act of envisioning a range of potential futures, and their implications on global education we can identify threats (including possible existential threats) as well as opportunities. Therefore, I would challenge researchers to enable futures thinking by examining trends and drivers of knowledge and information innovations, build multiple scenarios of possible futures (possible, probable, and preferable) and develop strategic plans backcasting from preferred futures to the present. Through this methodology, the aim is to provide strategic and actionable plans for global leadership to reach a desired state and prevent an unintentional futures in which indigenous and pluralistic knowledge and innovation are ignored, and the existing systems perpetuated around the globe.
Daniel Liou
In their UNESCO report, President Sahle-Work Zewde and other global leaders have made clear the urgent need to renew our individual and collective commitment to education. From a contractarian perspective, they call for the recentering of humanity in co-constructing a new social contract for a more equitable and just future for all. Their report comes at a time of enduring challenges as human conditions are subjugated by perpetual wars, global disinformation, wealth disparities, and the racialization and criminalization of bodies and knowledge of the systemically marginalized. Prolonged global inactions to attend to such social injustices have been deeply intertwined with an unforgiving global pandemic, which threatens any real actions to explicitly and thoughtfully foster epistemic, economic, political, and environmental justices. The report presents the opportunity to galvanize further discussions, actions, and a collective sense of responsibility for decoloniality, reconciliation, and redistributions of institutional power to reject the totality of the current social contract.
As stated in the report, these efforts must include the diversification of knowledge systems in the production of human, community, and environmental-centered solutions in ways in which progress is no longer measured strictly by standardized test scores or economic productivity, but by how the planet and our most marginalized populations are loved, respected, and cared for. We must revisit the fundamental questions of an education for whom and for what, and foster a grounded approach to elicit the voices of the historically marginalized in both authorship and setting the terms of this new social contract.
We must start this process by deconstructing the present logic underlying the educational systems where knowledge production often teaches students to understand one's superiority and inferiority and while innovation is conflated with personal profit, career advancement, and other neoliberal tendencies. To this end, I urge educators and public officials to reconsider education as not a humanitarian project but a process towards collective humanity. Instead of calling for replacing the current social contract with another that comes with the same expectational status quo, we need a new, multifaceted social justice contract as a necessary condition for the not yet imagined possibilities of real peace and humanity.

Over two years into a pandemic, we walk a razor tight wire between the promise of what tomorrow could be and a reckoning of social disparity that has divided and left us disconnected from each other, our planet, and what it means to be human. If every system is perfectly designed to get the results it is getting, then why not start with a collective soul searching to answer the question "did we think what we were doing was working and sustainable?" What A New Social Contract for Education keenly points out is that we have a definitive opportunity to move forward together, with education at the core, of a much-needed transformation in our collective attitude and disposition towards life. Rather than define educational attainment in terms of academics and standardized testing, this UNESCO report starts with the premise that education must be first and foremost about our common humanity. It is a stark reminder of what was being lost sight of before the pandemic, that education shapes and builds our future. In this spirit, we must start by asking ourselves what type of future we want for our children and what is required of us to support that vision.

The COVID-19 crisis has also revealed the massive importance of digital connectivity and online platforms – to the extent that we need to begin considering access to information, which is itself also a fundamental right, as connected to the right to education in ways that were not foreseen even a decade ago — Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education
As we look to the future of education, it is clear that education will shift in significant ways towards interactions mediated by technology. There is possibly a lot to be gained through this but only if we also pay attention to the broader social and economic context within which these technologies function. For example, it is important to ask who exactly is in charge of the technologies—the tools, processes, and systems—that support learning in these environments? Will it be a democratic system with local-control or will the educational systems of the future be controlled by a few multinational corporations (with user-bases and budgets larger than those of most nation-states). These corporations, driven by share-holder profit not social good, will create products that are "free/easy to use" and show the "right" kind of results—typically those that are measured by standardized tests. The immense data streams generated through quasi-surveillance technologies (video, keystrokes and more) will be coupled with the power of AI and machine learning tools to sort and rank learners. Teachers and students would have little agency in these systems and there would be little, if any local control, over educational goals. Learning would be defined as technical skill acquisition, with little attention paid to the humanities and the arts. Those with adequate resources will find ways around these corporate systems, though that will not be possible for many, particularly those belonging to historically or otherwise marginalized groups, further exacerbating the gap between the haves and the have-nots.
Yeukai Mlambo and Ann Nielsen
In 2016 the UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS) reported that by 2030, if current trends continued, at least 43 countries will not have enough teachers to provide every child with primary education. The report projected that to achieve the goal of universal education 24.4 million teachers were needed at the primary level and 44.4 million would be needed at the secondary level. The prediction, applied globally identifies significant challenges for many regions of the world, highlighting the vast discrepancies in access to quality education for all children. For example, Southern Asia will need 15 million teachers, Northern Africa will need approximately 2.6 million teachers and Sub-Saharan Africa close to 17 million. (UIS, 2016).
If we take into consideration the 2016 report AND we hope to achieve the overarching goals of UNESCO's latest report, Reimaging our futures together: A new social contract, learners, educators, and the education ecosystem MUST evolve.
Many of the most at-risk countries from UNESCO's 2016 report are heavily influenced by foreign aid and NGO's who are often financed to support educational development in at risk countries. Unfortunately, funding in these instances is not always aligned with the needs of the identified country or region, but instead based upon the funding logic of the donor organizations (Silova & Steiner-Hamsi, 2008). Chapter 5 in UNESCO's report calls for teacher's work to center around collaboration and teamwork; teachers to engage in the production of knowledge; insurance that teachers have academic freedom; and to include teachers in the design, debate and dialogue in the future of education. If we are to achieve these the calls to action for teachers, success will depend on a very broad system level shift that is supportive of an adaptive education workforce model that is able to respond to the changing contexts as well as changing local and global learning needs.

Play can make a better world! The report states- "it is often said that we might one day live in virtual worlds, but to some extent and in some places, this is already true" (p. 101). Given today's unprecedented social, economical, and environmental threats, we ask: what will the world look like, or rather how will we create the world we want to live in? In world-building games such as Minecraft, Roblox, Rust, Stardew valley, and the sims, many diverse people are able to embrace their differences and come together to participate towards a common purpose. This could mean either engaging in collaboration, conquering the valley, gathering raw material, or playing for play's sake. Players are thus able to establish their own social contract in terms of the roles and boundaries they wish to live within. If this is possible in the gaming world, why can't we do this in reality? Exploring the potentials of such worlds is not so much about groundbreaking technology but about creating spaces and moments of re-creation for shared and playful imagination that leads to hopeful pluriversal futures.
Maria Tatto
The International Commission on the Futures of Education has produced a critical report: Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education. The Report conveys the urgency of acting with a sense of optimism and possibility and highlights the key priorities that should guide education transformations now and in the future. Concerning teachers, the key recommendation is for teachers to work in teams, to engage in knowledge production, reflection and research. Further, they are called on to participate in public debate, dialogue, and education policy. What is surprising about this report section that discusses teaching is the enormous demands made of teachers and the relative lack of attention to the teacher education curriculum. Examining the curriculum of teacher education cross-nationally can illuminate the learning opportunities that teachers encounter in their teacher education programs. Much learning and improvement can emerge from this exploration (see Tatto et al., 2018). Reimagining the teacher education curriculum needs to be a top priority. It is essential to ask what universities and other alternative routes are doing to educate teachers on pedagogies of hope and action to create agency and solidarity or on the SDG4? Research could illuminate the degree to which future and current teachers are prepared to engage deeply in this critical work during their teacher education program and beyond. Teachers as professionals should be ready to do all that the report list, but we must also be attentive to what teachers need. Teachers' voice and agency are essential to challenge the prescriptive lists of 'must do's" that have characterized top-down teacher policy. Teachers must become leaders, not only as administrators but as leaders in their teaching, research, and public participation.
Pauline Wambua
We're living in times of continued vulnerability and uncertainty about the future. There's widening inequality, exclusions, and education is not organized in a way that ensures shared progress that benefits all. The International Commission on the Futures of Education report calls all of us to prevent further disruptions and shape a peaceful, just, and sustainable future. It places education at the core of shaping the future and proposes a 'new social contract for education' that can meet the future needs of humanity and the planet.
One thing that stands out in the report is the role of universities and higher learning institutions in re-inventing education to address the common challenges. For instance, it encourages universities to re-evaluate their contribution to knowledge and acquisition since knowledge is constantly evolving. They should resist knowledge hegemonies and embrace diverse ways of knowing or understanding by including perspectives of groups — such as women and girls, minorities, low-income groups, indigenous knowledge/languages — that have long been marginalized. Data and evidence generation, application, and dissemination should also ensure inclusiveness and diversity. Teacher training colleges should also rethink the traditional views of curricula and reimagine them through interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives that enable learners to engage with diverse forms of knowledge acquisition, application, and generation. Such curricula should foster an appreciation for the inherent interconnectedness of environmental, societal, and economic well-being. The question is: who will take the lead, when should we have a plan of action, and how can we include those who may resist change? However, everyone (individuals, families, communities, institutions, governments, etc.) has a role in transforming education to build a just, equitable, and sustainable future.
Andrea Weinberg
As a teacher educator, I see the lifelong development and deep engagement of teacher educators as paramount to sustained substantive transformation. A shift in values and motivation across all levels of education is needed to position K-12 educational systems and students as levers for purposeful change toward overcoming the dominant anthropocentric paradigms and world-wide challenges. The values and principles that underpin education must focus on collective, collaborative, common goals beyond the individual that center achieving just and sustainable futures for the environment and humanity alike. If we are to support the development of teachers to work in collaborative educational settings where students and teachers engage in meaningful action to advance environmental and social justice aims, we must ourselves work in concert with K-12 stakeholders and other teacher educators alike to collectively reimagine futures, engage learners through action-oriented pedagogies, and make lasting change. Further, we must work to promote the status of the teaching profession by actively engaging as public scholars and advocates, particularly as rhetoric and legislation (e.g., ongoing attacks to Critical Race Theory in the US) threaten justice-oriented work that seeks to examine and rectify systemic oppression that cause decreased opportunity, increased vulnerability, or disproportionate harm.

The UNESCO report, Reimagining our futures together: A new social contract for education, recognizes the important role education plays in tackling global grand challenges. More than simply a state of play, the report lays out a bold plan focused on equity, inclusion, and global collaboration to tackle our most pressing issue.

Pawan Munjal-led Hero MotoCorp has taken six years to eclipse the cumulative sales of the previous three decades when Honda partnered the local company to build one of the most durable cross-border joint ventures. Hero's success as a solo rider is a story of India's journey into consumption adulthood — and a vote of confidence for homegrown talent in consumer technology.
Hero MotoCorp sold a total of 38.9 million units until the end of July 2017, overtaking the cumulative sales of 37.4 million two-wheelers registered by Hero Honda in its 27 years. Notably, in these six years, the share price of Hero Moto-Corp has also doubled, with the market cap racing past 77,000 crore.
The overall two-wheeler market has increased by over 31% to add more than 4.2 million units in this period (FY12-FY17). Total two-wheeler sales in the domestic market stood at 17,589,511units at the end of the last financial year. Hero MotoCorp had a share of 36.9%, and its nearest competitor and erstwhile partner Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) 26.9%.
"In 2011, we went against the conventional wisdom and took the bold step of walking out of an established joint venture. We had the confidence in our inherent capabilities and our performance has vindicated our belief… The journey of Hero in these past six years reflects the story of the technology-driven new India, its youth and their global aspirations," Pawan Munjal, chairman of Hero MotoCorp told ET.
Sridhar V, Partner, Grant Thornton India, said: "The market for two-wheelers has expanded at a rapid pace over the last decade with coverage of the urban, semi urban and rural markets. It is not surprising that companies have been able to grow and sustain volumes-… by meeting customer expectation and through quality."
Hero Group unveiled the new identity of the solo brand Hero MotoCorp — after its separation from Honda Motor Co of Japan — on August 9, 2011. Critics had, at that time, raised concerns about Hero's future as the company relied on Honda for product technology. Not many expected Hero to sustain market leadership after the separation.
To be sure, Honda has since narrowed the lead, but Hero has managed to maintain its pole position in the domestic market. In the last financial year, HMSI's volumes grew by 10.30% to 4.73 million units, 1.75 million units behind Hero MotoCorp, whose sales remained largely flat at 6.48 million units.
Hero's new products, developed with its own technology, have helped the company maintain over 50% share of the domestic motorcycle market. Its mainstay remains the Splendr, which with sales of 2,550,830 units contributed nearly 40% to overall sales of the company last fiscal.
The challenge for the company lies in cornering a larger pie in the country's fast-growing scooter segment where former partner Honda controls as much as 60% of the market compared to Hero's 12.7%. VG Ramakrishan, managing partner at Avanteum Advisors, said: "Honda has been growing faster than the market and gaining share. Besides, with increased emphasis on electrification in automotive space, it will become all the more crucial for Hero to have a good presence in the scooters segment."
Introduction of the automatic transmission in scooters, rising urbanisation, and female consumers have driven the share of scooters in the country's overall two-wheeler market to 33% last fiscal from 21% in FY13. In these same five years, the share of commuter motorcycles (100-110 cc) has declined to 37% from the earlier 47%. To strengthen its footprint in the segment, Hero has lined up new scooter models for launch over the next few quarters.
Besides, consolidating its presence in the domestic market Hero MotoCorp has also expanded its presence to 35 countries across Asia, Africa and South & Central America in the last six years. The company has invested heavily in ramping up its in-house R&D capabilities and set up the Centre of Innovation and Technology (CIT) in Jaipur.
"We are not going to rest on our laurels. We will continue to set new benchmarks in developing new technologies for the future of mobility and we will also continue to keep expanding our global footprint," Munjal added.
On the capacity front, Hero is well placed. Hero MotoCorp currently has an installed domestic capacity of around 8.9 million units, which will go up to 10 million once its plants in Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh become fully operational. Its closest competitor HMSI has a capacity of 6.4 million units across its four manufacturing facilities in Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Karnataka.

Miami-based real estate lender BridgeInvest is pleased to announce that it recently closed a $9,000,000 loan secured by a prime industrial complex neighboring the Miami International Airport. The loan allowed the borrower, Interterra Investments Group, to refinance the property on a fixed funding schedule and providing it with additional time to execute its lease-up plan on the unique site.
The property consists of approximately 15 acres of land with 300,000 square feet of industrial space, which formerly comprised the Bertram Yacht Facility. The industrial site benefits from its proximity to the Miami Intermodal Center, a massive $2 billion public transportation hub that connects the MIA Airport to the greater South Florida region by metro, rail and bus.
The borrower is led by Jorge Bernstein, who specializes in adaptive reuse projects in his native Argentina, including retail centers and the large-scale revitalization of old industrial sites. After acquiring the property and adjacent marina parcel in August 2015, the borrower needed to refinance a short-term purchase money mortgage provided by the seller.
"We knew we could rely on BridgeInvest based on their proven ability to finance high quality assets with limited cash-flow on an expedited timeframe. Their efficient execution allowed the borrower to successfully satisfy its existing loan and avoid incurring any penalties associated with the payoff," said Horacio Stuart Aguirre, chairman of the Miami River Commission, who represented the borrower in securing the financing.
BridgeInvest remains confident in the success of the transaction considering the tremendous demand for industrial space as Miami continues to grow as a global transportation and trade hub.

Scarface: The Shame of the Nation (1932)
Pages: (1) (2) (3)
The Story (continued)
At the First Ward Social Club headquarters (a smoky pool hall den), Tony Camonte (who accompanies Johnny Lovo) throws a spittoon through the glass entry door-window (painted with Louis Costillo's name as President) - shattering his name and signifying the change of leadership. Tony bursts through and announces: "Just changin' the name on the door. Meet your new President, Johnny Lovo." Lovo, the new president of all the gang leaders in town, describes changes in the 'running' of beer on the South Side - the entire area will be efficiently organized as Lovo's territory:
You can still stay in, but from now on, you're operating the way I say...We're gonna get organized and I'm gonna handle the works. It's gonna mean twice as much dough for everybody and half as much trouble...Running beer isn't a nickel game anymore, it's a business and I'm gonna run it like a business...There's three thousand saloons on the South Side and half a million customers. Figure that out! Add up what they're gonna lay on the line every year for drinks and nobody in charge.
When one of the hoods objects to Lovo's control of the bootlegging racket ("I don't have to go into business with nobody") and attempts to leave the meeting, he is confronted by Tony and beaten up: "You sit down here, and don't interrupt the president no more." Gang warfare between unwilling rival leaders over the bootlegging business threatens to erupt as predicted, making the South Side "a shooting gallery."
Therefore, Tony is commissioned as a "good salesman" to "stick his neck into those joints and get the orders" - using strong-arm tactics to convince beer customers to order only from the united front of Lovo's bootlegging outfit. Tony's comic, bumbling social 'seck-a-tary' Angelo ("Dope") (Vince Barnett) sharpens a lead pencil between his teeth so that Tony can take orders from South Side bar owners.
A montage of sequences illustrates how Tony (with Guino) campaigns through the South Side to increase customers for Johnny Lovo's booze with strong-arm tactics. In the first saloon as the camera moves from left to right, Tony arm-twists the owner's arm behind his back, propels him into the back-office, and then intimidates and forces him to buy large quantities of Lovo's swill at higher prices. In a second joint where beer overflows a beer stein and runs down the drain, Tony commits another owner (with an injured left eye after a beating) to Lovo's delivery. In a third recalcitrant bar, they throw a bomb into the storefront. At The Shamrock cafe, Tony and his gang enter while the camera remains outside. Gunfire rakes the interior as they flee the scene.
Camonte reports to Lovo on his preferred and successful methods of securing business cooperation: "Lots of orders. They all buy from us. All we have to do is fill 'em...We have your South Side all nailed up in a box." However, a bold headline in the evening newspaper reports that one of their rivals is still alive:
2 MORE SHOT DOWN
Meehan Riddled with Bullets, Will Live, Hospital
Authorities State. Police Expect Clue
Berdini Dies Instantly. Last of "Hold-outs" in South
Side Beer Ring Cornered in Shamrock Cafe.
Tony's gang immediately visits the hospital to finish off their wounded rival who lies in his hospital bed - behind which is a curtain with an X on it. With large flower arrangements in their hands, they scare the cowering hospital attendants as they search the rooms and murder Meehan in his bed.
A machine-gun is super-imposed above pages of a wall calendar. Blasts of violent gunfire rip away the pages as time advances from October 5th through August of the next year.
When Tony, wearing an outlandish suit, meets Poppy again, she asks him (with a straight line) about his jewelry. His slow-witted, ignorant, subhuman response is interpreted as "a funny mixture" when she patronizingly brushes him off. With his increasing wealth, he has improved his wardrobe, bought a custom-made, bullet-proofed car, and a new house (also with protective steel shutters installed on all the windows and doors):
Poppy: I see you're goin' in for jewelry. It's kind of effeminate, isn't it?
Tony: Huh? Yeah. I got it in an auction. A bargain.
Poppy: (She laughs at him) You sure are a funny mixture, Tony.
Tony: The first time you smiled.
Poppy: Yeah?
Tony: How do you mean you think I'm funny?
Poppy: You just are, that's all. What else are you doing with all your money? I hear you're gettin' a new car.
Tony: Hm, hmm. It's different. It's got bullet-proof glass and a steel body. And I got myself a new house, too. Come up sometime?
Poppy: Yeah, and bring my grandmother.
Tony: No kiddin', you come up?
Poppy: Why don't you get yourself a girl, Tony?
Tony: I'm workin' on that now.
Poppy: Yeah? Well, don't tire yourself out.
Lovo is angered and furious that Camonte is overexpanding into the North Side, jeopardizing their entire bootlegging racket by encroaching into O'Hara's territory - and slowly (and ambitiously) wresting control:
Lovo: What do you use to think with? An empty beer keg? Just when you get this territory lined up and running smooth, you step out and gum up the parade.
Tony: How do you mean, Johnny? I just sell a little more beer. Aw, don't worry.
Lovo: Don't worry? You know what O'Hara's liable to do now? He'll send his guns down here to the South Side. They'll move around like hummingbirds. You're liable to get it and I'm liable to get it...He's tough, see?
Tony: Aw, he ain't so tough. Hangin' out in a flower shop. You afraid of a guy like that?
Lovo: I ain't afraid of anybody.
Tony: Sure you're not. That's a crazy question, hey Johnny?
Out on the street, a careening automobile dumps a corpse toward Lovo's gang - it has a warning note (with a small white flower from O'Hara's flower shop) pinned to its clothing: "KEEP OUT OF THE NORTH SIDE."
As Tony's dumb, inept, illiterate secretary, Angelo's job is to answer Tony's phone, but (for comic relief) he doesn't know how to correctly master the telephone, hold the receiver, politely answer, remember a caller's name, or write and take down somebody's name. Tony corrects his incompetent assistant's pronunciation, etiquette and brusque manners toward someone on the other end of the line: "Sec-re-tary, you dope. Sec-re-tary...That's no way to talk! Talk nice. Tell him to state his business...A secretary must be able to write. He must be educated, get education." Projecting his inadequacies onto an inanimate object, Angelo blames the phone receiver: "That's your fault," and when the frustrated caller calls back, he draws his gun and threatens to shoot.
Guino Rinaldo steps into the apartment with a white flower in his boutonniere - an indication of another killing. Tony, wearing a striped lounging jacket, plays with the flower for a moment. He doesn't have to be explicitly told that Guino has just murdered their rival O'Hara in his flower shop on the North Side: "It was easy...He was alone." Soon after, Poppy pays a visit to Tony's new apartment. She is intrigued by his new-found wealth, and rumors that Tony's brutality has reached into the North Side:
Tony: How do you like this place?
Poppy: Kinda gaudy, isn't it?
Tony: Ain't it, though? Glad you like it.
He proudly shows her his "own idea" - steel shutters with peek-hole slots on all of his windows ("In case you have visitors you don't like"), and he beams as he shows her a flashing sign across the street that promises ascendancy in the world:
COOK'S TOURS
With little-boy wonder, naivete, megalomania and bravado, he tells her, with an unintended double entendre:
Tony: Some day, I'll look at that sign and I'll say, 'OK, she's mine.'
Poppy: You think so.
Tony: Yeah, I got a purty good idea.
Poppy: (She notices his silky robe) That's-a purty hot. Expensive, eh?
Tony: (He laughs heartily) Yeah, come here. I show you some of what's purty hot.
He leads her into his bedroom suite, to show off extravagant piles of new dress shirts that reflect his rising status in the gangster world: "What I'm gonna do is wear a shirt only once and then give it right away to the laundry. A new shirt every day." Although unwilling to be visibly impressed, Poppy realizes that she values his newly-acquired possessions: "You're just gonna drive the women mad, aren't ya?" When he makes a pass at her, she tentatively stands her ground, refuses to date him, and inquires: "I thought you were Johnny's friend." Tony is single-mindedly attracted: "Sure, I like Johnny, but I like you more." When they are on the verge of kissing, Tony is interrupted with the arrival of the police who are there to arrest him.
Tony is hauled into the Chief's office by officer Guarino on suspicion of murdering O'Hara. Presumably, he is soon released once again, because Epstein secures a writ of habeas corpus for him. Meanwhile, one of the last members of O'Hara's gang - the murdered gang member's successor named Gaffney (Boris Karloff, playing the part as a gangsterish-like Frankenstein, one year after his role as the Monster in Frankenstein (1931)) - opens imported crates marked STAR PINEAPPLES BRAND. They prepare for war with the contents of the crates - light-weight portable tommy guns. Speaking with a British accent and a lisp, Gaffney seeks revenge toward Camonte with the 'bootlegged' weapons ("There's no law against manufacturing them, just having them"):
He won't get any bigger. We'll take him before he finds out about these guns. (He fondles the sub-machine gun.) 300 slugs a minute.
Gaffney sets up an ambush after Tony leaves the police headquarters and dines in the Columbia Cafe-Restaurant with Guino, Angelo ("Dope"), and Poppy. Acting like a "big-shot," Tony flirts with Poppy: "I'm not hungry - except for you. You got something I like...Say, I've been waiting a long time. I'm crazy about you...I've got everything BUT what I want. Ya understand?" Just before Gaffney's attack, an anonymous caller phones to try and lure Tony into the open. Tony directs "Dope" instead to answer and "get a name." Suddenly, O'Hara's slow-moving hearse followed by other black cars (in a fake funeral procession) drive by the window-fronted restaurant and spray it with gunfire from their repeating tommy guns. Tony and Poppy duck as other bystanders scurry for cover. Oblivious to the entire fierce and noisy gun battle around him, "Dope" remains on the phone in an inaudible conversation, asking "What's your name?" Scalding hot water from a bullet-punctured coffee urn behind him literally 'pisses' on him and wets his pants.
Impressed by the new style of machine gun ("If I had some of them, I could run the whole works in a month"), Tony convinces his lieutenant Guino to volunteer to capture one after gunning down one of the gangsters during the lethal battle. Unruffled, Guino retrieves a tommy gun from a dead rival for Tony. With the new gun in his hands, Tony is ecstatic, gleeful, and regards it as a new toy: "Hey, that's swell." Back at Lovo's place that has also been assaulted by O'Hara's gang, Tony is even more thrilled and childishly delirious with his first machine gun. As tension mounts between Lovo and Tony, he confronts his crime boss with plans to conquer the North Side (against Lovo's orders):
Hey Johnny, look what I got!...Lookit, Johnny, you can carry it around like a baby...We don't give 'em time. We go after them. We throw them micks up for grabs...There's only one thing that gets orders and give orders. (He taps the gun) And this is it. That's how I got the South Side for ya and that's how I'm gonna get the North Side for ya. Some little typewriter, eh? I'm gonna write my name all over this town with it in big letters...Get outta my way, Johnny, I'm gonna spit!
His shouted words, "I'm gonna spit," sound sexual in their delivery. In a primal, monkey-like way, he grabs the gun into his arms and empties a steady round of 'spitting' bullets into the wall where a whole rack of pool balls, powder and cues 'dance' and splinter into hundreds of pieces from the gun's action. With a crazy grin on his face, Tony's eyes widen with delight and exhilaration at the sight of destruction. Poppy, who has been loading a revolver in the background, supportively tosses it toward Tony - just in case he needs it against Gaffney: "Take this along in case that bean-shooter doesn't work."
In the next sequential montage of helter-skelter murders - a careening automobile with smoky gun blasts shatters glass and kills a rival gang member in the front window of the Cambridge Hotel. Tony's henchmen wage all-out war against Gaffney's gang - murdering other bad boys around the North Side of town. A camera, mounted in the back seat of a police car with a whining siren, follows a motorcycle cop to the site of the latest killings.
With new weapons infiltrating into the hands of criminal gangs, cop Guarino confirms that the violence will escalate:
Chief: These fellas bootleg machine guns like they bootleg booze.
Guarino: Yeah, they'd better do something about that, because with these toys to play with, what happened before will look like a tea party.
They prepare to "put the screws" on the 22nd Street freight house where deliveries of guns are being made in "fruit-boxes."
In an additional montage, more gunfire during the spectacle of all-out gang warfare is delivered from moving vehicles on dark, wet streets. A woman's scream punctuates the quiet of the night as glass shatters. Bullets spit from weapons and murder a man as he is thrown from a car - the body lands under a circular spot of light on the sidewalk beneath a X-shaped street sign (UNDERTAKERS) and in the cross-hairs of an "X" shadow. Another murder occurs under a trolly-car X.
More crosses signal death. A reconstructed "St. Valentine's Day Massacre" scene is prefaced with a closeup of a trellis of seven X criss-crossed beams in the ceiling above the seven victims. The camera slowly pans down to black silhouettes of seven of Gaffney's gang members (only Gaffney is absent due to a twist of fate). The outlines of figures are ordered to line up against a wall - where they are "mowed down" and slaughtered with machine gun fire. Clouds of smoke from the firearms billow up and conceal the murders from the gun-shy (and modest) camera. A dog is heard whimpering.
(Later when the crime is being investigated, a bright white cross marks the pile of bodies on the garage floor.)
Forced into hiding after turning "yellow," Gaffney remains as Camonte's only significant enemy ("I'm the only one left") and next target. His days are numbered - a white cross of light behind him marks his upcoming death. Guarino realizes that Tony's trigger-happy obliteration of the O'Hara gang also threatens to displace Lovo as crime boss:
Lovo is practically out. He's as scared as Gaffney.
[The next scenes were clumsily inserted by the demands of censors and watchdog groups.] The city's Chief of Detectives denounces the public's interest in the glorified gangster Camonte - depicted as a "colorful character". He also condemns lawlessness. To turn the public against the violence, he even claims that "kiddies playing hop-scotch on the sidewalk" are being killed:
Colorful? What color is a crawling louse? Say listen, that's the attitude of too many morons in this country. They think these hoodlums are some sort of demagogues. What do they do about a guy like Camonte? They sentimentalize, romance, make jokes about him. They had some excuse for glorifying our old Western badmen. They met in the middle of the street at high noon and waited for each other to draw. But these things sneak up and shoot a guy in the back and then run away....Colorful? Did you read what happened the other day? A car full of 'em chasing another down the street in broad daylight. Three kiddies playing hop-scotch on the sidewalk get lead poured in their little bellies. When I think what goes on in the minds of these lice, I wanna vomit.
A door leading to a newspaper publisher's office ("The Evening Record, Mr. Garston, Publisher") opens the next scene - [another one that was later added to the film to appease state censor boards and pressure groups]. A conversation is in progress inside between a group of reform-minded, concerned citizens and the publisher (Purnell Pratt). The newspaper publisher decries gangsterism, calls for the public to counter gang violence by passing laws to outlaw guns, and blames gangsters as unwelcome foreigners who need to be deported. But he still defends his right to publish the gangland murders as headlines and "as front-page news":
Male Citizen: Our organizations are opposed to your policy, Mr. Garston. Your paper could be an influence against the gangster, yet you keep right on playing up his activities as front-page news: murders, gang-war, killings - that's all we read about. You're glorifying the gangster by giving him all this publicity.
Garston: You're trying to tell me you can get rid of the gangster by ignoring him, by keeping him off the front page. That's ridiculous. You're playing right into his hands. SHOW HIM UP! RUN HIM OUT OF THE COUNTRY! That'll keep him off the front page.
Female Citizen: In the meantime, you expect our children to read of nothing but outrage and murder?
Garston: That's better than their being slaughtered. The city is full of machine guns, gang war in the streets. Kids aren't even safe to go to school. You want that to go on.
Another Male Citizen: Certainly not, but what can private citizens do? Even our police force can't stop it.
Garston: Don't blame the police. They can't stop machine guns from being run back and forth across the state lines. They can't enforce laws that don't exist.
Male Citizen: Then it's up to the federal government to do something about it.
Garston: You're the government - all of you. Instead of trying to hide the facts, get busy and see that laws are passed that'll do some good.
Male Citizen: For instance?
Garston: Pass a federal law that puts the gun in the same class as drugs and white slavery. Put teeth in the Deportation Act. These gangsters don't belong in this country. Half of them aren't even citizens.
Third Male Citizen: (with a heavy ethnic accent) That's-a true. They bring nothing but disgrace to my people.
Garston: All right, I'll tell you what to do. MAKE LAWS AND SEE THAT THEY'RE OBEYED - IF WE HAVE TO HAVE MARTIAL LAW TO DO IT...Surely gang rule and wholesale law defiance are more of a menace to the nation than the regulation of oil or a bullfight. The Army will help. So will the American Legion. They offered their services over two years ago and nobody ever called on them. Let's get wise to ourselves. We're fighting organized murder!
Displaying his taste for Italian theatre, Tony and his goon-buddies are fashionably dressed in fancy tuxedoes and sitting in the theatre audience for a "serious" and "fine show" - a performance of Somerset Maugham's Rain. Feigning cultural aspirations, Tony regards the play's main character, prostitute Sadie Thompson, as "a pretty smart girl" but "disillusioned," although Dope and Guino have other opinions:
Guino: What's a girl wanna hustle in a place like that for?
Dope: Yeah, it's rainin' all the time.
As Tony leaves his seat for intermission before the last act, an armed entourage of other bodyguards rise in unison and they move as a block to the outside for a smoke. Dope complains that the show lacks humor: "I like a show with jokes." They are advised by Johnny Lovo to knock off Gaffney at Frank's bowling alley where their remaining lethal rival ("the last one") has been spotted. Reluctantly, Tony agrees to leave the play at intermission, but orders Dope to watch the remainder of the show and report on its outcome: "I gotta know which fella this girl Sadie she take. You stay here and find out and then come tell me." As Tony's henchmen prepare to snuff out Gaffney, Angelo arrives with the plot's outcome - ("She [Sadie Thompson] crawled back in the hay with the Army") and Tony crudely concedes his delight that she rebukes the clergyman character ("That's-a fine, she's a smart girl.")
The scene of Gaffney's death is artfully photographed as a whistling Tony strolls into the bowling alley and cases the joint. A scorekeeper marks an X - strike - on Gaffney's scoresheet - hinting at his impending death. During his next turn, Gaffney approaches the line and squats down to hurl his bowling ball. As he releases the ball, loud and rapid gun-fire rakes his body and mows him down. The camera follows the ball he's thrown - it's another strike. The metaphor of the pins falling symbolizes Gaffney's own death. The ball knocks down all the pins except one - symbolically, the remaining pin spins and whirls, stubbornly teeter-totters for a second longer, and then finally topples over.
Tony and his gang enter the PARADISE No. 2 restaurant and dancing night-club where Tony and his men are treated as upper-class clients. The maitre d'hotel has them escorted to a table, but Tony's attention is diverted toward a table where Lovo and Poppy sit across from each other. He sits between them and hints about the recent North Side murder, and flirts (with a wink) at Poppy: "I just finished up tonight. Now I play a while." Rather than accept Johnny's cigarette lighter for a light for her cigarette, Poppy turns to Tony's match instead and leaves Johnny's flame in mid-air. And she also changes her mind about dancing and consents to dance with Tony. The deserted and upset Johnny is left alone at the table to ponder his multiple rejections - he restlessly plays with a silver-plated salt-shaker in his hands, grabbing it like a miniature pistol with a trigger. [He subconsciously has strategically decided how to take care of his main hit man - he intends to murder him.]

Tree change: Pandemic pressures spark rush to country lifestyles
Finance Property Tree change: Pandemic pressures spark rush to country lifestyles 10:00pm, Aug 27, 2020 Updated: 5:20pm, Sep 10
Matt Johnson Property and personal finance reporter @matte_johnson
Months of remote working and home isolation during the pandemic have given city slickers ample time to pause and reflect about a tree change.
Bustling urban hubs lost their lustre when city attractions were forced to close their doors, and new concerns have emerged about affordability and the tradeoff between good health and high-density living.
As a result, many are primed for a life-changing move.
And it's sparked a flurry of activity that some say is the start of a mass city exodus to regional hubs and towns within 90 minutes of the capital cities.

Melbourne-based business transformation manager Emily Mogic and her wife, Cheryl, had pre-pandemic plans to tree change within five years.
It was an idea born 18 months ago from a visit to a friend's farmlet in New South Wales, where they felt an undeniable sense of community, easy accessibility to nature and room to stretch their legs.
When the pandemic hit – and their employers both gave assurances that flexible working would be a long-term option – that was the trigger needed to fast-track their plans.
"I started working from home in March and spent more time browsing, and, after looking at land close to our friends in NSW, turned to Victoria to see what value for money we could get," Ms Mogic told The New Daily.
After the Victorian government imposed strict limits on gatherings during the first wave of infections, Ms Mogic's family decided to embark on what she called an "example of extreme-iso shopping."
"We planned a big radius around Melbourne of places we could access with a 90-minute drive, and on the weekends, we would travel out to vacant blocks and get a sense of the town's character," Ms Mogic said.

After settling on a vacant block in regional Victoria's Trentham in September, they hope to rent nearby until their Yarraville property sells, before building a farmhouse-style property within a year.
"The option for us to go potentially mortgage-free was appealing in these uncertain economic times, and as we get older, have different options we can look forward to," Ms Mogic said.
"But most of all, I'm looking forward to looking out the window and feel my stress reduced by looking at nature or grass and trees, and having the opportunity to start building our new community," Ms Mogic said.
Director of digital regional real estate agency Parkstone Real Estate Toby Pinhol, whose plans to relocate his family from Melbourne were thwarted by the city's Stage 4 lockdown, said his business had fielded "very strong amounts" of inquiries over the past three months.
His firm – which covers Daylesford, Castlemaine and the Macedon Ranges – largely heard from city slickers who now deem a dramatic lifestyle switch more "socially acceptable", as a result of the transition towards remote and cloud-based working.
The trend towards digitalisation has encouraged workers to search for larger home offices, multi-acre backyards and low-density living, he said.

"You have a lot of places where it's within close proximity of a train line for easy access to the city for a couple of days a week, and secondly, the buying power of your dollar is so much more," Mr Pinhol told The New Daily.
But don't expect a mass exodus all at once.
Ms Pinhol said the tree change movement will be a slow burn that gathers momentum over several years.
"People are valuing that they need to find a property where they can actually live, not just exist," he said.
"People are only pulling the trigger once it's a known quantity and we're not seeing anyone make those decisions sight unseen, so buyers right now are those who have grown up in the country, have family or relatives in the neighbourhood, or have holidayed extensively there before."
A report released by CoreLogic last month seems to back that idea.
The property analytics firm found that house prices in some regional markets had grown faster through the June quarter than in neighbouring capitals, in which prices fell over the three months.
Though each of the regional markets analysed experienced slowing growth during the early stages of the pandemic, they have been quicker to bounce back.
But the differing fortunes of city and regional property markets are neither the result of tree changers, nor expected to last over the long term, Ms Owen said.
"This more positive outcome is short term, and is more likely tied to cyclical patterns than changes in demographic trends, which are typically a gradual phenomenon," Ms Owen said.
Much like capital cities, the number of regional properties sold at auction amid strict coronavirus measures has slowed – but longer-term figures may eventually confirm a tree change revolution is on the cards.
"The normalisation of remote work amid COVID-19 is more likely to bolster regional migration than slow it," Ms Owen said.
