Kindler does a shuffling act!

Jeffrey Kindler, Pfizer’s Chief Executive Officer has announced a turnaround in its leadership positions to re-arrange the drug company, struggling with augmented competition and the loss of exclusivity rights. Two key functions, Research and Finance, are the targetted two blocks. 57-year-old John LaMattina, the research and development chief of the company for a long time, and 45-year-old Alan Levin, the short-time chief financial officer will be retiring soon as a new replacement (rather successor) is found out. All these steps are a consequence of Kindler’s strategies to ‘transform’ Pfizer into a

'While woman'

Working against criminals and poachers is hazardous business. Is it especially difficult for a ‘white’ woman?
Actually, being a ‘white woman’ worked greatly to my advantage, because when I posed as a decoy buyer, no criminal suspected I was working with government enforcement agencies. They also of course had no idea that I could speak the language and that I knew a lot of about Indian wildlife. In many ways I was tailor made for this!

Story continues

And the story continues to unfold into this year, as the bank sets its target on the rural hinterlands. An ICICI Bank spokesperson told 4Ps, B&M, “We see the rural markets as the next horizon of growth for us and are creating a holistic proposition to address this opportunity. Our strategy is to offer a full spectrum of products to meet the needs of various segments of the rural population.” The bank got an overwhelming response when it entered the capital market for the first time in December 2005, and is once again setting its eyes on the bourses for a $5 billion follow-on public offer (scheduled for later this year) to meet the growing demand of India’s dynamic business market. Just that you know, ICICI Bank is the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE and is today on an overseas borrowing binge, including an overseas capital market offering.

Feast day

On the feast day of the saint, one can sight a parade, which winds through downtown Aguascalientes with people dancing to the sones, jarabes, cuadrillas, polkas, and redovas and schotis. The spectacular 21-day festival features bull-fights, folkloric dancing, games, cock- fights, horse riding and various othe cultural events. With rising popularity and demand, in 1992, a new bullring was designed to host 15,000 enthusiasts, but horse riding remains the prime Mexican sport, which takes place in the magnificent Villa Charra. Amidst all the bulls and horses, men and women perspiring at the fate of their wagers, yell and buck up the horses and screech at cocks’ every move! Besides, competitions and exhibitions by cattle breeders, dairy farmers and sheep ranchers mark the agricultural and the more sedate aspect of the fair.

omething truly unimaginable & very very strange...

ADAM, EVE & NO APPLE!
Something truly unimaginable & very very strange... but then, it all happens in the year 2100. It does!
The year is 2100 – nine decades from now. And Mr. Bean ‘Junior’ is in his late seventies. As we know, life for him too has always been a difficult challenge (like father, like son!) and perhaps ‘the’ reason that in spite of being an adult he never ever thought of courting the troubles of a married life. But our forever Mr. Bachelor too has developed a hitherto hidden penchant for foraying into fatherhood. Yes, Bean Junior too wants to be father at 78. Now the billion dollar question is – how will a man, who has troubles in completing even the simplest of tasks, manage the complex task of initiating paternal bliss? But, hey! Aren’t we supposed to be in the 22nd century?! Yes, expect some relief for Bean Junior... for now, he requires no lady’s grace to hear ‘dad’!

Emerges

What emerges is a picture of remarkable – though incomplete – consensus on the critical foreign-policy issues of our time. Across the ideological spectrum, international relations’ scholars agree far more on current policy and future threats than they disagree. This consensus is particularly striking on the war in Iraq: 89% of scholars believe that the war will ultimately decrease US security. 87% consider the conflict unjust, and 85% are pessimistic about the chances of achieving a stable democracy in Iraq in the next 10-15 years. Nearly all those who responded – 96% – view the US as less respected today than in the past; a sentiment, no doubt, heavily influenced by the current war. Unsurprisingly then, professors give the US President George W. Bush very low marks for his foreign-policy acumen. A scant 1% ranked George W. Bush among the most effective foreign- policy presidents of the past century.

lack of Concern

One notable feature of the report is its lack of concern for the will of Iraqi people. The report cites some polls of Iraqi sentiment, but only in regard to safety of US forces. Its implicit assumption is that policy should be designed for US government interests. The real reason for invasion, surely, is that Iraq has the second largest oil reserves in the world. The issue is not access to those resources, but control of them. Buried in the study is the expected recommendation to allow corporate (meaning mostly that of US and UK) control over Iraq’s energy resources.

Extreme

As the reports mention, for example, many of our financial centres are located in costal areas and are vulnerable to, say, a rise in the sea level. Estimates show that a staggering $220 billion worth of assets are in the flood areas of London alone. A disruption in climate could also see agriculture productivity getting adversely affected. Even in developing countries, the sizable share of agriculture and agriculture- related activities in their economies leaves them extremely vulnerable. South Asia is another extreme where, for example, figures show that 61% are dependent on the rural sector. Worse, the surge in the cost of capital and also the cost of insuring the climatic risks will become increasingly unbearable for most of the world economies.

Forecasted Increase

In comparison with its 2001 observations, the report also forecasted increase in earth’s temperature by 1.1 to 6.4 degree Celsius by the year 2100 and surprise surprise... with rider of a 2-4.5 degree bracket of increase given the rise in quantum of atmospheric carbon from industrial sources, which may already have been liberated enough to bear the potential to double.Then again, spare a thought for the qualitative translation of these numbers, expressing themselves in the form of flash floods and rainfall of unprecedented magnitude if you’re in Asia, lethal hurricanes and tornadoes if you’re on the other side of the Atlantic and life-sucking heat waves and droughts if you’re somewhere in between.
