Channel 9's Dr Zac Turner gives us his tips for avoiding a medical emergency this festive season.

Stepping into an emergency room can be difficult anytime of the year, but it’s an exceptionally cringing feeling to have it be during Christmas, especially if you are visiting and far from your own home.

Heart attacks, alcohol or food intoxication, kitchen/decorating related injuries, depression, and backstabbing high blood pressure are the issues ER doctors treat most at this time of year.

An Australian investment strategist focusing on cannabis says the sector's biggest player isn't even on the scene yet

CLIENT: THE GREEN FUND
OUTLET: BUSINESS INSIDER

Investment strategist Mark Bernberg, who’s launched an investment consultancy for the cannabis industry, believes that Australia could legalise the drug for recreational use within five years and that the company that will ultimately become the Amazon of cannabis doesn’t exist yet.

Bernberg’s The Green Fund is tracking cannabis companies and revealing the trades in his investment portfolio, which has an international focus and argues that despite recent falls in value, the market is flourishing.

But with legal cannabis sales growing an 15% annually and the sector set to be bigger than the beer industry by 2035, it won’t be long before a major corporate such as Coca-Cola, Novartis or a tobacco company backs a new player that will go on to dominate the sector.

While it’s fun for a child to grab a balloon at a shopping centre or play with them at birthday parties, they can be a danger to our marine life if they aren’t disposed of properly because they end up looking like jellyfish.

In a 2012 University of Queensland study, balloons were identified as being disproportionately consumed by sea turtles based how common they were as litter on Queensland beaches.

In other words, the study found that sea turtles specifically target balloons.

International travel inspired this Australian tech entrepreneur to design a device that helps keep women safe -- and now the world is buying it

Canberra-based Stephenie Rodriguez has visited 54 countries, and as woman generally travelling alone, knows all too well “what it feels like to be unsafe”.

So like all entrepreneurs, she set out to solve that problem, enlisting the help of a retired CIA executive, Thomas Pecora, to create WanderSafe, personal device that acts like a personal panic button when you’re out and about alone. She raised $600,000 from angel investors around the national capital to bring her product to reality and it’s already proving to be a hit, with Rodriguez landing a distribution deal in duty free stores globally, as well as another deal with Qatar airways.

For Rodriguez, it’s not just about travel but the safety of women in general, something she’s well aware of in citing local statistics.

Canberra-based entrepreneur Stephenie Rodriguez has lived in Australia for 20 years, is set on raising her daughter here, but the founder of personal safety technology start-up WanderSafe has incorporated her business in the US.

Ms Rodriguez told The Australian Financial Review that statistics showing that less than 2 per cent of the total capital pool in Australia was used to back women founders, were a big factor in her deciding it would be easier to create a US company and have some Australian investors involved, rather than try to raise all of its capital here.

"Truthfully, the US is where the money is," she said.

A CONTROVERSIAL commercial depicting Jesus Christ consenting to organ donation as he dies on the cross has divided religious leaders.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal the almost three-minute ad, which airs today, encourages viewers to “do what Jesus would do” after an actor portraying Christ is persuaded to donate his organs by two guards.

A controversial advert which shows Jesus Christ agreeing to become an organ donor has infuriated a Muslim leader and divided opinion online.

The two-and-a-half minute advert shows two armed guards asking Jesus if he would like to donate his organs after being nailed to the cross before his death.

Neil Mitchell has a question.

Controversial? Or clever?

A new campaign has been launched to convince people to become organ donors.
