Indian unorganized retail sector & its challenge
India is the only one country having the highest shop density in the world, with 11 outlets per 1000 people (12 million retail shops for about 209 million households). Rather we can see the democratic scenario in Indian Retail (because of low level of centralization, low capital input and due to a good number of self organized retail).

What Can CB&H’s Government Contractor Services Group Do For Your Business in 2010?
The previous decade was a tough one for all businesses, including contractors and subcontractors to the federal government. Unfortunately, successfully delivering innovative, world-class solutions for federal customers did not, and does not protect government contractors from being pilloried as under delivering for the soldiers and taxpayers we serve. Historic levels of incoherence, with regard to requirements definition and regulatory consistency, have significantly increased the cost of operating as a compliant contractor.

Find out how the EU Consumer Summit can help your business.
The first ever EU Consumer Summit will take place in Brussels on 1 and 2 April 2009.
This special event will bring together over 250 stakeholders from all over the EU 27 countries, to look at the challenges and opportunities facing today’s consumer, with a special focus on the digital world.
There will be a wide variety of high-level participants from industry, consumer organisations, national administrations, EU institutions and NGOs – as well as many “ordinary” consumers from across REuropean Union – so there would be lively and interesting discussions.
Why does the EU Consumer Summit take place?
Actually let’s hear from the Meglena Kuneva EU Consumer Commissioner, in charge of the EU consumer Summit.
“Between 2006 and 2008 the proportion of EU consumers buying at least one item over the internet increased from 27% to 33%.
These average figures mask the huge popularity of online shopping in countries like UK, France and Germany where more than 50% of internet users have made purchases in the last year.
In Denmark, Sweden, Norway Finland and Iceland 91% of internet users bought products and services online in 2008. Italy and Spain are also fast growing markets.
Consumers have everything to gain from the Internet. It expands the size of the market they operate in and gives them access to more
providers and more choice. It makes it possible to compare products, suppliers and prices on an unprecedented scale. Internet use for retail shopping is destined to pervasive. Already 150 million European consumers shop online, although only 30 million of them shop online cross border.
We must see to it that adoption of the internet platform will not be unnecessarily slowed down by a failure to remove important regulatory barriers or to address important trust issues for consumers.”
So from these facts, Meglena Kuneva then decided to launch the first EU Consumer Summit in Brussels.
30 different European countries registered for this event which is fully booked since March 20th.
Therefore we provide you with the full agenda of this unprecedented event.
Day 1: Wednesday, 1 April

Introduction
With the End of Summer now upon us, we all have a feeling of emptiness, wondering where “did all of the time go, and why did it go so quickly”. It seems no matter how hard we all try in managing our time, there never seems to be enough of it to go around, and before you know it, the summer has ended and it’s back to the old grind once again. It may be returning to school, or just to our jobs, the time off we enjoyed for that short period of time, it’s just not enough
September the start of the Fall Season
September is the “Falls Season Debut”, with the fall leaves changing colours to bright orange red and yellow they are absolutely beautiful . While the leaves usually start to turn in the northeastern United States within the next few weeks, much of the country won’t see the first signs of autumn until mid-October.
The leaves’ changing colours are a stress response in trees, as they respond to the normally cooler temperatures and slight drought of approaching winter.
According to Schaberg, “Senescence is a seasonal aging period when leaves stop producing chlorophyll and start storing valuable nutrients in the tree for next year before the leaves drop off. Red leaves also seem to have a stronger attachment to the tree than yellow leaves at the same stage of senescence. “The longer the leaves stay on the tree, the more time there is for their nutrients to be sent back into stems for storage for next year,” says Schaberg. Now that summer’s rapacious mosquitoes and oppressive heat have dissipated, there’s all the more reason to take in the leaves along the region’s waterways, many of them tree-lined and navigable by amateur paddlers. Cooler temperatures and leaves changing colors are not the only indicators that autumn has returned to the Owens Valley. The Range of Light is currently in full “artist’s palette” mode thanks to leaves changing colors as their nutrients are slowly transferred to the roots so the plant can survive the winter and cold
September 9/11 Let us Never Forget
The Morning of September 11, 2001, started as any normal morning, waking up around 8:00 AM, letting out our Doberman named Mooch to do his morning ritual, preparing breakfast and then to relax for a while.
It was around 9:00 AM that morning when my Aunt Jean, who lived next to us, called in a frantic tone “We are under attack” . At that moment I had no idea what she was saying about being under attack. Don’t you have your TV on? No, I said. Well you better put it on. And with that, my Aunt hung up the phone.
So I went into the living room, turned on my TV, and saw a horrific picture on my screen, one of the towers had been hit. But by what was it hit? One of the newscasters mentioned a plane had hit the tower. And then the news showed the graphic footage of the plane hitting the tower. I first thought that it must have been a horrible accident, but was it an accident. Several minutes went by and a second plane hit the second tower. This indeed was not an accident.
Then came the news, that a plane had hit the Pentagon in Washington DC. That was now three. A little later word came that a plane heading for Washington DC had crashed in Pennsylvania. Four planes, with countless number of passengers all lost. But “Why” and for “What reason” did this happen? We all now know who did it, and why. But was it all worth while.
These circumstances all led to an on going war, the fall of one county with its dictator gone. And countless lives lost over and above those lost on those planes, and the person who headed this deadly attack, still walks around free as a bird.
Let us never forget.
The Heroes of that fateful Morning
Looking back on that fateful day, and watching for hours, the heroic men and heroic women who risked their lives to rescue those they could,
Let us never forget
To the brave policemen, firemen who all rushed to the scene of this tragic event, and to all of the places of this horrible tragedy,
Let us never forget
For the families who lost loved ones, and for the strangers we never knew
Let us never forget
For the bravest amongst us, the firefighters, policemen and ordinary people who lost their lives trying to help those in this tragedy,
Let us never forget
Yes September is a month of change, leaves turning colours, temperatures falling along with the leaves of the trees, but always remember those who lost more than just the colour of leaves and warm temperatures, the loss of loved ones on that fateful morning:
Yes indeed, Let us never forget

Conclusion:
September is indeed a time of change, the changing of the colour of the leaves, returning to work and school, a transitional time between summer and winter. But aside from all of the change that takes place at this time of year, it is also a time of reflection, on a happier time of summer. But it is also a time of reflection, remembering a time of not so long ago, when in a blink of an eye, our national landscape, our very lives changed forever. That‘s why we should always remember and:
Let us never forget
