I'm not going to take long -- just long enough to give you an overview of developments so that we can discuss the implications. Do interrupt me if you've got any questions or comments. So, let's start by looking at trends over the last ten years. On this first transparency you'll see two pie charts -- the first represents the milk product market ten years ago, the second, how it looks now. There are two outstanding features: firstly, the total market has grown substantially from 280 million litres to 440 million litres; secondly, the actual sector share of the. tour main milk products has changed radically; the full milk sector has fallen dramatically from 74% to just 53% -- here on the pie chart; the skimmed milk sector has rocketed from only 12% to 40% , reflecting the weight of publicity directed towards low fat diets. The other two sectors are long life milk and milk drinks. It's interesting to see that the long life sector has risen from 5% to 13% -- a significant rise considering initial consumer resistance to this type of milk. And finally, the milk drinks have remained pretty stable, just increasing by 1%. So the two big winners of the decade are skimmed milk and long life milk.
Now, what's really important is the likely trends over the next ten years in these four sectors. If you look at this graph you will see the same trends I just outlined for the four sectors. Beyond this line we've plotted the anticipated trends over the next ten years. We forecast that the full milk sector will decline more gradually over the next five years to around 40% and then fall a further 2'% by the end of the 10-year period.

Oregon Mom Forced to Treat Baby for HIV
Kathleen Tyson wants desperately to breast feed her baby, But the state of Oregon says it will take the baby from her if she does. The government threatened the action after Tyson tested positive for HIV, the virus the vast majority of medical researchers say causes AIDS.
For now, at least, she gives the infant a cow's milk formula. And until a few weeks ago, she reluctantly gave him a state ordered medically prescribed six-week course of the powerful AIDS drug AZT. She faces a court date in April to try to regain total freedom in how she cares for her son, including the right to breastfeed.
Kathleen Tyson says, "There is evidence that there is something in breast milk that inhibits the binding of HIV to receptor cells in the infant. So we're starting to get an idea that maybe it's not so bad as everybody thinks."
Tyson and her husband David are at odds with the medical establishment and the medical research showing HIV causes aids. Nor is the couple convinced by studies that show HIV can be transmitted by breast milk. What's more, the Tysons say they have no idea why Kathleen tested positive. The two say they've had a monogamous relationship for eleven years, never used I-V drugs, or had blood transfusions, and that both David and the baby tested negative. Are they in denial about the reality of AIDS?
"Since I'm one who takes care of children with HIV and have watched children die of AIDS, the idea that someone would allow a preventable disease to be transmitted like that, absolutely breaks my heart," says Dr. Paul Lewis.
David Tyson answers that charge, "A lot of people say that; I think the medical establishment is in denial about the evidence that indicates their theory is a dud. They've been working on this for 16 years now, and they've put more resources into this than any other issue that we've had. And they aren't any closer to any mechanism of pathogenicity than they were when they started."
Kathleen Tyson says, "I think we weighed the issue. I think we've looked at a lot of material. And I think that we're rational, responsible people. And there are just enough things, for me, that don't make sense, that I have to question it."
The Tysons find support on an Internet site which claims that a growing number of bio-medical scientists say the AIDS virus is harmless and not sexually transmitted, Site authors claim it's the anti-viral medications like AZT that kill.
David Tyson says of the web site, "... and these have a number of quotes by a number of prominent people in the biomedical field about their doubts about this theory."
The site helped the Tysous reach David Rasnick, a visiting scientist in the department of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley. Rasnick is president of a group opposed to prevailing theories on the cause of AIDS. In an e-mail, Rasnick told the Tyanus to refuse AZT for their infant son.
David Rasnick of the group for the Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV/AIDS Hypothesis, "We're interfering with healthy mothers and healthy children to breast feed; we're giving these kids poisonous drugs in the chance they might develop anti-bodies to HIV."
Rasnick's advice deeply troubles Dr. Paul Lewis, an Oregon children's infectious diseases specialist. He says, "Since I'm one who takes care of children with HIV and have watched children die of AIDS, the idea that someone would allow a preventable disease to be transmitted like that, absolutely breaks my heart."
Lewis says that as many as one baby in four born to an infected mother, will be infected with HIV. He says the number nearly doubles, to four out of ten, if an infected mother breast-feeds. Lewis says widely accepted research shows when the infant is not breast fed and AZT treatment is given, such infectious can be reduced to as few as one or two in a hundred. Why do the Tys

听力原文: The first day of April ranks among the most joyous days in the juvenile calendar.
"It is a day when you hoax friends of yours with jokes like Sending them to the shop for some pigeon's milk, or telling them to dig a hole because a dog has died; when they came back and ask where is the dead dog you say 'April fool' and laugh at them. There are some when you just say 'Your shoe lace is undone' or 'Your belt is hanging' or 'Go and fetch that plate off the table, and of course their shoe lace is tied up right, and their belt is not hanging, and there is no plate on the table, so you say 'Ever been bad, April fool'."
And parents, of course, are not exempt. "We have a lively time," says an 11-year-old Swansea girl, "as there are so many jokes to play such as sewing up the bottom of Daddy's trousers." And a 9-year-old Birmingham boy writes:
"Last year I fooled father by gluing a penny to the floor and saying 'Dad, you've dropped a penny on the floor.' He couldn't get it off the ground because it was stuck firm, then I shouted 'Yah, April fool'. "
