The global recession manifests itself in Latitude C600 big and small ways, most gloomy, some quirky and often reflecting the inventive human spirit. Here is a look at some signs of the times.
As hard times bite in Britain, fewer people are considering cosmetic surgery. In a poll of 120 surgeons by the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons almost half reported a considerable reduction in cosmetic operations and outpatient consultations.
A local bakery and cafe in Jackson Heights in the New York borough of Queens that catered to freelance dell laptop battery writers and others with laptops has covered up and padlocked its electrical outlets to discourage customers from overstaying their welcome. Laptop users can now stay only as long as their battery lasts.
Attempts to clamp down on spending in Osaka, Japan set off a row about the cost of feeding the city zoo's six koalas. Each of the fluffy creatures at Tennoji Zoo munches its way through 40,000 yen's-worth ($400) of specially cultivated eucalyptus leaves every day, a fact criticized in an external review of the city's accounts, the daily Asahi newspaper said.
Officials in Boston, quick to embrace any Latitude C640 celebration of the city's 378-year-heritage, may pull the plug on a summer event that brings scores of masted sailing ships to its port and draws millions of tourists.
Mayor Thomas Menino says the city, deep in negotiations with its unions over pay freezes and facing possible layoffs, cannot spend millions of dollars to provide security for the influx of visitors that greet the century-old tall ships.
US food banks have been hard up for donated packaged goods, including breakfast cereals. So the San Francisco Food Bank was delighted with a massive windfall - almost two tons of Kellogg's Corn Flakes and Frosted Flakes in boxes bearing the smiling face of Olympic swimming hero Michael Phelps. Kellogg dropped Phelps as a corporate pitchman after his image was sullied by pictures showing him smoking marijuana.
The waiting period to buy a Lamborghini sports car has fallen to six months from the Latitude C610 usual year, Lamborghini Chief Executive Stephan Winkelmann said at the Geneva auto show.

Eddie Doyle was the guy who really did Latitude C640 know everybody's name. But after tending bar for 35 years at the Bull and Finch tavern in Boston that inspired the television show Cheers, Doyle has been laid off.

More Britons are taking showers rather than baths to help reduce their household bills during the recession. London's Daily Telegraph said 1691P researchers from Unilever also found that shoppers were buying more shower gels than bubble baths.
British financier Brian Myerson asked an appeals court to scrap his 11 million pound divorce deal with his ex-wife Ingrid on the grounds that his company's shares had plunged by more than 90 per cent since the agreement was struck.
"That's a rum do," said Lord Justice Thorpe, one of Britain's most senior family judges. Lawyers specializing in big-money cases said Mr Myerson would face an uphill struggle to 75UYF unpick a settlement to which he had already consented.

A judge has ordered 310-6322 Britney Spears' former manager and an attorney to stay away from the pop singer for the next three years.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Aviva K. Bobb issued her ruling Tuesday after hearing testimony dell laptop battery and arguments in recent weeks from the men and lawyers for Spears' father, Jamie.
Bobb ordered Osama "Sam" Lutfi and attorney Jon Eardley to stay away from the 27-year-old pop singer and to not contact, threaten or try to act on her or her sons' behalf for the next three years.
Bobb refused to extend the same protection to Spears' parents.
The singer's court-appointed lawyer, Samuel Ingham, endorsed issuing the D5318 orders during a hearing last week, saying they were in Spears' "best interests."
Lawyers for Lutfi and Eardley promised to appeal the ruling, saying the lengthy hearing didn't prove the singer suffered substantial emotional distress as a result of the men's actions.
Lutfi's attorney, Bryan J. Freedman, said evidence instead pointed to Spears asking his client for help.
"Never before in the history of the world has a G5260 restraining order been issued against someone who merely responded to cries for help," Freedman said.
Roger Diamond, who represented Eardley, said it was disappointing that the ruling didn't spell out the judge's reasoning for issuing the orders.
Jamie Spears and his lawyers petitioned for lengthy restraining orders against the men in January, arguing that the pair were conspiring along with paparazzo Adnan Ghalib to undermine the conservatorship. Bobb last month issued a three-year restraining order against Ghalib, who is the singer's former boyfriend.
The hearing had been conducted G5266 over several days in the past two months, with testimony from Jamie Spears and his daughter's security detail and a hairdresser. The hairdresser testified that Britney Spears told her she was scared of Lutfi and didn't want to have anything to do with him.
Ghalib never appeared in court or contested the restraining order, but is due back in a criminal court next month on felony charges that he tried to run down a man attempting to deliver papers notifying him of the restraining order case.
The server, Ram Moskowitz, sued Ghalib in civil court for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Jamie Spears' lawyer, Joel Boxer, said the restraining order request was "unusual," but Latitude CPi was necessary to protect the singer from "people who I think are fairly characterized as predators."
