"We're in the last quarter of 2012 and it's evident that will be seeing the best sales since the launch of the company a number of years ago. Our '#SmiffysOzCracker' sales campaign is our chance to pass on some amazing costume & accessory bargains for Australian consumers to pick up as our way of saying thank you."
Smiffy's AU web manager goes on to say, "With Christmas just around the corner, we're delighted to offer our customers Santa costumes from just $10.95 - that's our way of bringing a little bit more of festive cheer to Australian families, ensuring as many can get in to dress-up and enjoy the season as possible."
In August of this year, Smiffy's Australia introduced a new eCommerce website and since this date social media and online marketing activities have been ramped up, which stands testament to the company having the best trading year to date.
"While we continue to grow as a company, it's great to see that more and more Australians every year are getting in to dress up with our costumes, most notably for Halloween, where yearly interest is doubling and it looks to be that October 2013 will see our largest demand for Halloween costumes to date," mentions Smiffy's AU web manager.

Researchers use shock tube for insight into physics early in blasts
2012-11-27
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Sandia National Laboratories' one-of-a-kind multiphase shock tube began with a hallway conversation that led to what engineer Justin Wagner describes as the only shock tube in the world that can look at how shock waves interact with dense particle fields.
The machine is considered multiphase because it can study shock wave propagation through a mixture of gas and solid particles.
Shock tubes — machines that generate shock waves without an explosion — have been around for decades. What makes Sandia's unique is its ability to study how densely clustered ...
Brief exercise immediately enhances memory, UCI study finds
2012-11-27
Irvine, Calif., Nov. 26, 2012 — A short burst of moderate exercise enhances the consolidation of memories in both healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment, scientists with UC Irvine's Center for the Neurobiology of Learning & Memory have discovered.
Most research has focused on the benefits of a long-term exercise program on overall health and cognitive function with age. But the UCI work is the first to examine the immediate effects of a brief bout of exercise on memory.
In their study, UCI postdoctoral scholar Sabrina Segal and neurobiologists ...
New behavioral strategies may help patients learn to better control chronic diseases
2012-11-27
One of the most important health problems in the United States is the failure of patients with chronic diseases to take their medications and do all that is necessary to control their illnesses.
In a study published online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, UCLA researchers and their colleagues suggest that physicians take a serious look at tools and strategies used in behavioral economics and social psychology to help motivate their patients to assert better control over chronic diseases. Breaking large goals into smaller, more manageable parts, for example, ...
USC, Oxford researchers find high fructose corn syrup-global prevalence of diabetes link
2012-11-27
LOS ANGELES AND OXFORD, U.K.— A new study by University of Southern California (USC) and University of Oxford researchers indicates that large amounts of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) found in national food supplies across the world may be one explanation for the rising global epidemic of type 2 diabetes and resulting higher health care costs.
The study reports that countries that use HFCS in their food supply had a 20 percent higher prevalence of diabetes than countries that did not use HFCS. The analysis also revealed that HFCS's association with the "significantly ...
Administrative data set not always best source for number of surgical complications
2012-11-27
Charlottesville, VA (November 27, 2012). Hospital administrative databases, designed to provide general information on hospital stays and associated costs, are frequently used to find information that can lead to quality assessments of care or clinical research. Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) extracted data on hospital readmissions following spine surgery at their institution from an administrative database to assess the clinical relevance of the information and to define clinically relevant predictors of readmission. What they found were ...
Graphene switches: HZB research group makes it to first base
2012-11-27
Now, Helmholtz Centre Berlin's Dr. Andrei Varykhalov, Prof. Dr. Oliver Rader and his team of physicists has taken the first step towards building graphene-based components, in collaboration with physicists from St. Petersburg (Russia), Jülich (Germany) and Harvard (USA). According to their report on 27. November 2012 in Nature Communications (DOI: 10.1038/ncomms2227), they successfully managed to increase the graphene conduction electrons' spin-orbit coupling by a factor of 10,000 – enough to allow them to construct a switch that can be controlled via small electric fields.

Protein injection points to muscular dystrophy treatment
2012-11-27
November 27, 2012 — Ottawa — Scientists have discovered that injecting a novel human protein into muscle affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy significantly increases its size and strength, findings that could lead to a therapy akin to the use of insulin by diabetics. These results were published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Julia von Maltzahn and Dr. Michael Rudnicki, the Ottawa scientist who discovered muscle stem cells in adults.
"This is an unprecedented and dramatic restoration in muscle strength," says Dr. Rudnicki, a senior ...
Study finds heavily indebted med students choosing primary care face greater financial challenges
2012-11-27
(Boston) - Researchers at Boston University and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) have determined that heavily indebted medical students choosing primary care careers will experience difficulty paying their student debt unless they consider alternative strategies to support repayment. These findings appear online in Academic Medicine, the peer-reviewed Journal of the AAMC.
Most medical school graduates have education debt and the average amount of education debt is increasing. In 2011, 86 percent had education debt at graduation, averaging $161,290, ...
James' bond: A graphene/nanotube hybrid
2012-11-27
HOUSTON – (Nov. 27, 2012) – A seamless graphene/nanotube hybrid created at Rice University may be the best electrode interface material possible for many energy storage and electronics applications.
Led by Rice chemist James Tour, researchers have successfully grown forests of carbon nanotubes that rise quickly from sheets of graphene to astounding lengths of up to 120 microns, according to a paper published today by Nature Communications. A house on an average plot with the same aspect ratio would rise into space.
That translates into a massive amount of surface area, ...
GI researcher co-author of international permafrost report
2012-11-27
Fairbanks, Alaska—University of Alaska Fairbanks researcher Vladimir Romanovsky is one of four scientists who authored a report released today by the United Nations Environmental Programme.
The report, "Policy Implications of Warming Permafrost," seeks to highlight the potential hazards of carbon dioxide and methane emissions from warming permafrost, which have not thus far been included in climate-prediction modeling. The report notes that permafrost covers almost a quarter of the northern hemisphere and contains 1,700 gigatonnes of carbon—twice that currently in the ...
