How many people does it take to change a light bulb
I was told about a recent article in the Weekend Australian Magazine. The article looked at a study by the University of Chicago. that found that if we excluded all animal based foods, including dairy and eggs, from our diet, that change would benefit the environment more than buying an eco-friendly car. Apparently 23% of a typical Australian diet comes from animal sources and so generates almost 1.5 tonnes more greenhouse gases per person per year than a vegan diet of the same calories.
Techniques to increase the effectiveness of your promotional marketing during a period of economic downturn
The prospect of a downturn in the economy can have a major impact on business. With Australia having such close ties to the U.S. market many businesses have gone into panic mode due to the financial crisis currently affecting the U.S. economy. Whenever there are changes in the U.S. markets, people assume that it will have an impact on the Australian market as well and more often than not, it does. Many companies try to prepare the company for a slow-down in sales and the number one direction taken is to cut-costs. Unfortunately the general trend seems to be that the Marketing department are the first to have budgets slashed. While there may be some merit in this strategy of cost-cutting what if we look at the other end of the spectrum which involves being proactive to counteract the negative effects of the market drop.

Business credit remains tough in difficult times
There’s been a lot of talk about the impact of the global financial crisis on interest rates and access to finance. Whilst the banks maintain that they are providing finance, and certainly that appears to be the case with residential mortgages, the availability of finance to business remains an issue. It is finally receiving a greater level of attention in the mainstream press, with The Australian and Australian Finance Review both publishing articles on 27 March.

Hip Replacement Recall Attorney Says DuPuy Misled Patients
After receiving findings that its ASR hip implant was faulty, DuPuy Orhtopedics actually waited a year before sending out a warning on March 5, 2010 to American surgeons that its implant had a higher than expected failure rate. Worse yet, the warning letters were not sent to American surgeons until three months after DePuy voluntarily withdrew its hip implant from the Australian market in December 2009. DePuy continued to promote and sell its faulty hip implant in America for six months after the Australian withdrawal before finally recalling the ASR hip implant in the U.S. in August 2010.
