  My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
  I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
  But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching
  to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
  Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
  Any help would be really appreciated!

  You can show a bit of cleavage, but too much can appear a bit inappropriate.

  Debt bondage, exploitation spoil India's golden mango harvest
  By REUTERS

  By Anuradha Nagaraj
  
  KRISHNAGIRI, India, May 31 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - It is noon and Dilbar Ali is racing
  against time.
  
  The first truckloads of mangoes from the orchards of Krishnagiri-Dharmapuri region in southern India's Tamil Nadu state
  have arrived. The fruit needs to be unloaded, sorted, graded and packed - all before dawn. So lunch will have to wait.
  
  
  The mangoes need to get to the export houses and food processing factories immediately,
  to keep up with demand for both the fruit and its pulp, which is used in drinks that
  fly off supermarket shelves in summer.
  
  "It will be like last night - non-stop work, with a breather only tomorrow morning," said Ali,
  heaving another sack of mangoes onto a weighing scale.
  
  
  India's mango pulp market caters to some of the world's biggest food
  and beverage players including PepsiCo, Coca Cola and Unilever.
  In 2014/2015, it exported almost 155,000 tonnes of pulp worth 8.4 billion rupees ($126 million) with Yemen,
  the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait among
  the top destinations.
  
  But workers' rights campaigners say the industry in Tamil Nadu flourishes
  on the back of overworked and underpaid seasonal,
  migrant labourers like Ali, who comes from the northeastern state of Assam.
  
  
  A lack of rain, global competition and fluctuating
  prices are squeezing profit margins of many growers in the region.
  
  "The sector is very labour intensive," Mathew Joji of the
  non-profit International Justice Mission told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
  
  "Besides low wages, to ensure there is no manpower is lost, there are restrictions on their movements, which is a clear violation of the workers' rights and a method of bondage."
  
  India is home to more than 18 million people living in some form of modern slavery, the greatest number of any country,
  according to the third Global Slavery Index released on Tuesday by the Australia-based Walk Free Foundation.
  
  In India, modern slavery occurs in industries ranging from construction to textile manufacturing
  and agriculture to domestic servitude - with bonded labour featuring heavily.
  
  
  
  BITTERSWEET HARVEST
  
  On May 10, revenue officials rescued a family of
  three, including a child tasked with clearing weeds from the fields, on a mango farm not far from where Ali
  toils.
  
  In a complaint filed with the police, Parthiban, one of the victims, said he was working
  to pay off a 20,000 rupee ($300) loan.
  
  "The owner does not pay us any wages. We borrow from the owner for petty amounts whenever we have to buy groceries and other basic needs," he said in the complaint.
  
  
  "The owner added these amounts to our advance. The owner says now we have to pay 45,000 rupees ($676) principal amount and an equal amount of interest."
  
  Up to 40,000 people are hired on a temporary basis during mango picking season from
  February to June when temperatures hover around 40 degrees Celsius (104
  degrees Fahrenheit).
  
  Almost all of them are migrants, mainly from the northern Uttar Pradesh,
  Bihar and Assam states. Hired through contractors, labourers can expect
  to work up to 15 hours a day for a daily rate of 300 rupees
  ($5).
  
  Many take advantage of the offer of an advance on their wages and arrive
  on mango farms already indebted.
  
  "In the farms and factory, the exploitation is quite systematic," said K.
  Krishnan, head of the National Adivasi Solidarity Council, a network
  of grassroots organisations.
  
  "Big orchard owners and food processing units are circumventing all norms, including giving minimum wages particularly in the case of women who are paid just 150 rupees ($2),"
  he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
  
  
  MANGO MANIA
  
  From a side gate of a factory run by food processing company Capricorn Food Products India Limited, a stream of men make
  their way to the far end of the premises.
  
  
  Hidden from view, this area houses the 1,000-plus migrant labourers who unload trucks
  of fruit and put them on to conveyor belts that enter the factory.
  
  
  "Hiring local labour is tiresome and most of them don't want to do hard work. Besides, they demand more pay, take more (days) offs and don't do overtime," said a Capricorn Foods official, who requested anonymity.
  
  
  "So we link up with contractors who bring labourers every season. And we provide them rooms in the factory to stay."
  
  No one can leave the premises without prior permission.
  
  "Once a week, we are given a slip that permits us to go out to buy basics. The rest of the time, we either work or wait in our rooms," said
  Azim Shah, sitting in a tea stall across the factory during his weekly outing.
  
  
  "If there is a medical emergency or problem, our supervisor deals with it. In most cases, it means wages are cut," he said.
  
  
  Capricorn Food Products managers did not respond to telephone calls
  or emails requesting an official comment.
  
  
  ORCHARD ECONOMICS
  
  E. Madhavan is general secretary of the Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri Fruit and Vegetable Processors'
  Federation. He denies there is labour exploitation in the
  region, saying that wages were fair and paid on time.
  
  
  
  M. Vijay disagrees. The labourer practically lives on the four acre mango orchard where he is
  employed. He gently plucks the fruit, constantly wiping off
  the sticky sap from his palms.
  
  To get paid, he must fill blue crates with 150 mangoes each and then carry them to a trailer parked at one end of the farm.
  He does not keep count of how many crates he fills.
  
  
  But Ali, who unloads them at the wholesalers A. R. Mango Mandi, keeps track.
  
  "It's back breaking. I count so that I know how much I am pushing myself," he said.
  
  
  The owner, A. R. Ahmad Basha, one of the biggest dealers in the region, sells up
  to 250,000 tonnes of fruit in two months.
  
  
  "The boys stay on the premises and work whenever required. I provide them three meals and pay them on time. What more is required?" he said, before turning to
  haggle over quality and prices with a farmer.
