Phlyctema vagabunda is responsible for significant postharvest losses in ‘Cripps Pink’ apples in South Africa. The first objective of this study was to determine the presence and incidence of P. vagabunda on stored commercial ‘Cripps Pink’ apple in five major pome fruit growing regions in the Western Cape. As the fungus remains latent until postharvest, the second objective was to develop a rapid molecular detection tool to determine the presence of P. vagabunda on asymptomatic ‘Cripps Pink’ apples from two commercial orchards. Postharvest disease incidence in ‘Cripps Pink’ apples in the Western Cape ranged from 0 to 73% in the 2010/2011, 0 to 6% in 2011/2012, and 0 to 30% in 2012/2013 seasons. P. vagabunda spores were also detected on ‘Cripps Pink’ fruit from December to February and from March to April. In December and January, P. vagabunda spores were detected on the ‘Hillieri’ crab apple pollinator. The knowledge that P. vagabunda conidia are present on the surface of ‘Cripps Pink’ apples and ‘Hillieri’ crab apples during the growing season could be applied to improving current management practices in the orchards.

In South Africa the modern outlook towards time may be said to have started in 1948. Both the two major observatories, The Royal Observatory in Cape Town and the Union Observatory (now known as the Republic Observatory) in Johannesburg had, of course, been involved in the astronomical determination of time almost from their inception, and the Johannesburg Observatory has been responsible for the official time of South Africa since 1908. However the pendulum clocks then in use could not be relied on to provide an accuracy better than about 1/10 second, which was of the same order as that of the astronomical observations. It is doubtful if much use was made of even this limited accuracy outside the two observatories, and although there may – occasionally have been a demand for more accurate time, it was certainly not voiced.

Exchange Program

Abstract This article summarizes a series of trips sponsored by People to People, a professional exchange program. The trips described in this report were led by the first author of this article and include trips to South Africa, Russia, Vietnam and Cambodia, and Israel. Each of these trips included delegations of 25 to 50 speech-language pathologists and audiologists who participated in professional visits to learn of the health, education, and social conditions in each country. Additionally, opportunities to meet with communication disorders professionals, students, and persons with speech, language, or hearing disabilities were included. People to People, partnered with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), provides a meaningful and interesting way to learn and travel with colleagues.
