As 20,000 visitors rush to the "melon capital"of
the world this weekend for the Chinchilla Melon Festival
which happens every two years,farmers are reflecting
on a tough two years in the industry.
The small community on southern Queensland's
Darling Downs is best known for its melon events.But
can Chinchilla continue to say it is the melon capital of
the world since its number of farmers and fruit is
falling?Twenty years ago,you would have found about
30 melon farmers in the Chinchilla region.Now,there
are just six,including Darryl O'Leary.
In the Chinchilla region,new industries appeared.
Over the past 10 years,the area had seen the
development of coal seam gas(CSG)(煤层气)and
more recently renewable energy projects.But it has
meant that melons are no longer the most significant
industry in the town.Grower Murray Sturgess still
believes there is a bright future for melons in the
Chinchilla region."I have been growing melons for 43
years and I have no plans to give up.We can still make
a good living out of melons.It has certainly got
tougher,but it's still a good industry,"he said.
One of the young farmers in the region is Mr
O'Leary's son Terry."I think if we can get some ways
to protect us-there is a bright future,"he said."I
think there will always be melons in Chinchilla-our
climate and our soils are perfect for growing them and
we grow the best-tasting melons in the world."
As a result,tourists will be able to continue
enjoying the Chinchilla Melon Festival.Mr Sturgess
said it was a great event for more than just farmers,and
had put Chinchilla on the map."The festival is
wonderful.It's a great promotion for growers and the
town.It is a community event,which the whole town
gets behind,and gradually the festival gets bigger and
bigger and bigger.”

We tend to think of large cities as melting pots-
places where people from all sorts of backgrounds can
associate and interact.But according to new research,
people in big cities tend to primarily interact with other
individuals in the same socio-economic level.while
people in small cities and rural areas are much more
likely to have diverse interactions.
A team of researchers led by Stanford University
used GPS data collected from 9.6 million cell phones in
the United States to determine how often people of
different socio-economic statuses crossed paths during
the day.
After inferring each person's socio-economic status
from estimated rental prices on a housing marketing
website,the researchers counted potential interactions
between users over the course of the day-times where
two cell phones had GPS pings(定位仪)within50
meters of each other within a five-minute window.They
collected data on almost 1.6 billion path-crossings.The
researchers found a clear pattern that has been missed
by similar studies in the past:large cities contributed to
socio-economic segregation(隔离).
"That seems like an unexpected observation,"
said Jure Leskovec,a professor of the team."But there
is a large variety of choices in big cities.In New York,
you can spend $10 or $1,000 on a dinner,while if
you live in a place with only one restaurant,everyone
goes there,rich or poor.That seems to be the main
mechanism for segregation."
The good news is,there are ways to build cities to
have more socio-economic mixing.Looking at large cities,
the researchers found that those that placed frequently-
visited activity centers between different neighborhoods-
instead of in the center of each neighborhood-were less
likely to contribute to socio-economic segregation.
