Washington State University researchers have reverse engineered the way a pine tree produces a resin, which could serve as an environmentally friendly alternative to a range of fossil?fuel based products worth billions of dollars.
Mark Lange and colleagues in the Institute for Biological Chemistry literally dissected the machinery by which loblolly pine produces oleoresin.
Before the arrival of petroleum-derived alternatives in the 1960s, the sticky, fragrant oil?resin mixture was central to the naval stores industry and products ranging from paint and varnish to shoe polish and linoleum.
Meanwhile, the international demand for oleoresins has risen. Naturally occurring oleoresins ? from sources like loblolly pine ? are often preferred. A 2016 analysis by Grand View Research predicted that global sales of oleoresin will approach $1.7 billion by 2022.
The Lange lab’s discovery of how it is made “could inspire new engineering approaches for the production of renewable, green chemicals,” says Dutch biologist Harro Bouwmeester in a commentary accompanying Lange’s research in the Journal of Experimental Botany.
As natural factories go, said Lange, plants are industry leaders. Humans, he said, produce roughly 3,000 metabolites, the small molecules that occur in human metabolism.
“Plants make hundreds of thousands,” he said, “and most of what’s out there in terms of chemical diversity is probably unknown. It would probably be in the millions. One of the questions is: Why do plants do that?”
In the case of the loblolly pine, oleoresin is a critical defense against insects and pathogens. While an animal can run from an attacker, a plant has to stand and fight. To do this, the pine produces oleoresins so toxic that the plant has to store them in specialized structures, called resin ducts, to keep from poisoning itself.
To see how oleoresin is made, Lange concentrated on cells around the ducts, cutting them out with a laser-equipped microscope.
“Essentially what you do is draw around the area that you want to cut out and then the laser follows what you’ve been drawing and blasts it off,” Lange said.
Fittingly, Lange did this in WSU’s Franceschi Microscopy and Imaging Center, whose namesake, the late Vincent R. Franceschi, also studied resin ducts and their role in defending a conifer from pests.
Lange compared cells near the resin ducts with cells further away, looking for the expression of genes that would trigger oleoresin production.
Using the amplified genes from several thousand cells, Lange and his colleagues identified genetic sequences known to produce certain enzymes and matched them to reactions that could lead to the creation of oleoresin.
“We are trying to understand the biochemical reactions that lead from a simple imported carbon source to a complex mixture of oleoresin and products,” Lange said. “That’s the factory.”
With a better knowledge of the reactions, and their genetic underpinnings, researchers can screen trees for genes that make them better producers of the resin. Or they could replicate the resin-producing metabolic pathway in other organisms.
“That could be an E. coli or a yeast, something of that kind, and then you can make specific chemicals from there,” said Lange.
“Ultimately,” said Bouwmeester in his commentary, “this could result in robust pine tree genotypes that can compete with classical oil?based chemistry for the production of green chemicals through forest plantations.”

Disorganization. Writing Struggles. Trouble focusing.
…is it more than just dyslexia?
About one out of every five learners has dyslexia.
But ADHD, executive dysfunction, and dysgraphia (a learning disability that affects writing) commonly occur alongside dyslexia too.
Knowing this, how can we tell what’s “normal” for a child with dyslexia, and what indicates something more is going on?
Dr. Chris Mulchay is a licensed psychologist who regularly evaluates learners for ADHD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia.
In this webinar, he’ll offer clinical insight on:
- How to spot common signs of dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, and executive dysfunction
- Areas where dyslexia may overlap with these common disorders
- How these disorders differ from one another, and signs that a learner may need more testing or support

If Xbox One lacks anything, for me it’s a variety of Apps that add something to the gaming and entertainment experience. With the exception of things like Netflix and YouTube, I barely touch anything else.
Yesterday though, Gfinity, already an established name in eSports events, released a Tournament Builder app which is available for free, right now, and exclusively on Xbox One. This is something that Xbox One needed, and it’s opened up a whole new way of gaming to us all.
Gfinity Tournament Builder Features
Tournament Builder gives players access to the following features;
- Choose the game you want to build a competition for
- Select a tournament format (Cup, League, Ladder) and name
- Pick a tournament template using Gfinity rules or customizing your own
- Decided whether to make your tournament public or invite only
- Choose to make it an individual or team tournament and set the number of players
- Create a dedicated tournament page with brackets and tournament details
- Invite players and teams to take part in the tournament and accept or reject invites to a tournament
- Post tournament results immediately online and resolve results conflicts
- See all your tournaments in My Tournaments
- View all your fixtures in My Fixture
- Search for public tournaments or sign up to Gfinity Official tournaments
Sadly you cannot invite players to your created Tournaments via just their Gamertag. That would have been awesome, but there had to be something in this for Gfinity! What that is, is the fact that all tournament participants must create their own Gfinity account, and you can then invite your friends using their Gfinity account usernames. Creating accounts is free, but still, gamertags would have been most peoples ideal.
Creating & Managing Tournaments
Here at Xbox Sector we will be looking to make use of Gfinity for hosting some events of our own, so head over to the App on your console or Gfinity.net to create your account ready if you are interested in getting involved!

GENEVA, Switzerland, Nov. 9 (UPI) -- World Anti-Doping Agency report released Monday says Russia should be banned from international sport, citing systematic doping of athletes.
The 335-page report of the 10-month investigation, released Monday, described a "deeply rooted culture of cheating at all levels" similar to that of East Germany in the 1970s, and recommended that Russia be suspended from international track and field events; a co-author, Richard Pound, said WADA, an independent organization, would encourage the International Olympic Committee to bar Russia's athletic federation from the upcoming 2016 Summer Olympics.
The report details the involvement of athletes, trainers, coaches, doctors and testing laboratories in concealing payments to compromise doping tests, including those undergone at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. It accused the Russian government of complicity.
"The investigation has confirmed the existence of widespread cheating through the use of doping substances and methods to ensure, or enhance the likelihood of, victory for athletes and teams. The cheating was done by the athletes' entourages, officials and the athletes themselves. Evidence of extensive doping use is supported and confirmed by audio and video evidence, scientific evidence, corroborative statements, cyber analysis and related reporting documents. Numerous statements corroborate the original allegations and further detail the extensive use of doping substances and blood doping within Russian athletics," the report reads in part.
It also notes "corruption and bribery practices at the highest levels of international athletics" and explains that the international police organization Interpol was involved in the research and will engage in further investigation.
About 12 percent of drug violations in international sport in 2013, the last year of complete statistics, involved Russian athletes, far more than from any other country. Last week French authorities announced a criminal inquiry of Lamine Diack, former chief of track and field's international governing body; Diack, of Senegal, is accused of allegedly accepting bribes to permit six Russian athletes to compete in global events which included the 2012 Summer Olympics.
The Russian Ministry of Sport has not responded to the report.
"The Russians themselves have said there are vestiges of the old Soviet system, old-guard coaches who haven't changed and can't change. The minister of sport says their way of operating is over. But read our report," commented Richard McLaren, one of the report's three co-authors.

BEEBE, Ark. – Severe storms Monday produced tornadic activity and strong wings. The damaging elements came in the form of hail, which fell so rapidly in some places that it made the ground appear to be freshly covered in a wintry mix.
“We opened the window and were like, ‘Oh my Lord,'” said Callie Wisdom, who recorded a video of the hailstorm at her parents’ home in Beebe.
Wisdom said the hail started falling around 10:30 p.m., and when she looked out the back door, she noticed golf ball-sized hail falling at a rapid pace, coating the ground in white.
“I’d just never seen anything like it in my life,” Wisdom said.
The hail accumulated five or six inches on the Wisdoms’ back porch. Elsewhere, hailstones grew to be the size of baseballs, damaging cars and roofs. Wisdom said the damage at her parents’ home was minor.
“Maybe a gutter or hummingbird feeder [were damaged,] but that’s about it,” Wisdom said.
Wisdom said she’s thankful to have simply recorded a weather spectacle rather than experienced a worse, life-threatening storm.
“I even walked inside at one point and was like, ‘Hail is weird,'” Wisdom said. “It’s hot inside. Hail is weird.”

A Somerset County man admitted fraudulently obtaining over $850,000 in federal Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, federal officials announced today.
According to federal officials, Butherde Darius, 50, of North Plainfield, pleaded guilty in Trenton federal court on Nov. 21, to an information charging him with one count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud and one count of money laundering.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Darius conspired with at least one individual to submit a fraudulent PPP loan application to a lender on behalf of a purported business he controlled, obtaining over $850,000.
Officials say, he engaged in various financial transactions with the fraudulently obtained loan proceeds.
The application Darius and his conspirator submitted contained fraudulent representations to the lender – a Federal Home Loan Bank member – and the SBA, including bogus federal tax documents purportedly from the IRS.
According to the IRS, Darius also fabricated the existence of employees and wages paid through the purported businesses.
IRS officials say, however, none of the purported tax documents that were submitted in support of the loan applications were ever filed with the IRS.
Darius' loan application for his purported business was approved for approximately $852,000 in federal COVID-19 emergency relief funds meant for distressed small businesses.
According to officials, Darius then used a portion of the proceeds for various personal expenses.
Officials say, the count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud carries a maximum penalty of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
The count of money laundering carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000. Sentencing is scheduled for March 6, 2023.

Transmission electron microscope specimen preparation of Zn powders using the focused ion beam lift-out technique
Abbreviated Journal Title
Metall. Mater. Trans. A-Phys. Metall. Mater. Sci.
Materials Science, Multidisciplinary; Metallurgy & Metallurgical; Engineering
Particles of Zn powder have been studied to show that high-quality scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) specimens can be rapidly produced from a site-specific region on a chosen particle by the focused ion beam (FIB) lift-out technique. A TEM specimen approximately 20-mu m long by 5-mu m wide was milled to electron transparency, extracted from the bulk particle, and micromanipulated onto a carbon coated copper mesh TEM grid. Using the FIB lift-out method, we were able to prepare a site-specific TEM specimen from a difficult material in under 3 hours. The TEM analysis of the lift-out specimen revealed a large amount of thin area free from characteristic signs of damage that may be observed as a result of conventional argon ion milling. The overall microstructure of the specimen prepared by the FIB lift-out method was consistent with samples prepared by conventional metallographic methods. A grain size of similar to 10 to 20 mu m was observed in all specimens by both TEM and SEM analysis. Light optical microscopy revealed the presence of internal voids in similar to 10 to 20 pct of all particles. The SEM analysis showed the voids to extend over similar to 70 pct of the particle volume in some cases.

A new benchmark shows big firms have poor policies on respecting land rights and supporting displaced communities
By Megan Rowling
BARCELONA, July 1 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Companies that produce clean energy are crucial for curbing climate change - but they're not always the "good guys", according to a report that tracks their human rights record for the first time.
The Business & Human Rights Resource Centre (BHRRC) says 16 of the world's largest publicly-traded wind and solar producers are not doing enough to protect their workers and the local communities affected by their operations.
Here are the key takeaways:
What's the bigger picture?
A push to use less fossil fuel and curb climate change has seen nearly $2.7 trillion invested in renewables - mainly in solar and wind power - in the past decade, and the sector employed 11 million people in 2018.
Many of the companies are seen as saviours when it comes to tackling global warming - but the same can't be said of how they treat human rights, according to Phil Bloomer, BHRRC executive director
That is a particular concern for indigenous people whose land has in some cases been used for clean energy projects without their agreement or fair compensation.
Which companies have been assessed and what are the key results?
Spanish energy corporations Iberdrola and Acciona, followed by Denmark's Orsted and Italy's Enel, had the best human rights record overall, with French and German firms dominating the middle tier - but no company scores above 53% on the benchmark.
The worst performers are Chinese and North American companies, as well investors Brookfield and BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, which own many renewable projects.
Companies, on average, scored better on indicators covering the basic human rights responsibilities, including having policies and grievance mechanisms in place, similar to other high-risk industries like apparel, agricultural products and tech manufacturing.
But they scored zero across the board when it came to commitments such as respecting local land rights and relocating or compensating communities affected by renewables projects.
The companies scored well in some areas, including anti-corruption due diligence and health and safety disclosures.
So big renewable energy firms are doing the right thing for the planet but the wrong thing for people?
The centre has tracked allegations of abuse against renewables companies over the past decade, and says complaints increased 10 times between 2010 and 2018.
Since 2010, the centre has identified 197 allegations of human rights abuses related to renewable energy projects, and asked 127 companies to respond to those allegations.
They include: killings, threats, and intimidation; land grabs; dangerous working conditions and poverty wages; and harm to indigenous peoples' lives and livelihoods.
Allegations have been made in every region and across the wind, solar, bioenergy, geothermal and hydropower sectors, with the highest number in Latin America.
Why is this happening?
Some of the biggest renewable energy players have evolved from companies whose main business was previously fossil fuels, and they were used to being able to act with impunity on the environment and human rights, said Bloomer.
But that is changing. There are a small number of leaders who are setting new, higher standards, and that will pressure others to catch up. If they don't, their reputations and ultimately their share prices will likely suffer, Bloomer added.
The goal of the new benchmark is to shine a light on problems and encourage transparency so that companies and investors will better understand the impacts on local communities, particularly in developing countries.
Are there examples of how renewable energy companies can be more responsible?
Firstly, there are cases in which indigenous groups have pushed back. They include a wind farm in Norway challenged by reindeer herders over loss of land and a wind farm in Kenya cancelled after lawsuits by farmers and local landowners.
And in some places, companies have gone into joint ventures with local communities, including in Mexico.
Bloomer cited Canada, where indigenous land rights are listed in the constitution, providing strong protection that has led to about half of wind and solar projects being co-owned by communities, a model that averts tensions and keeps assets safe.
What happens next?
Bloomer said some of the companies had helped develop the benchmark's methodology, and about 40% had participated in the wider process of drafting the report, including Iberdrola. Some have already made positive changes, he added.
BlackRock hit back at the report, saying it "fails to acknowledge BlackRock's many public commitments to upholding human rights standards across its business and investments".
It said it had not been consulted on the benchmark, although BHRRC said it contacted BlackRock and received no response.
In a report foreword, former President of Ireland Mary Robinson said a narrow focus on short-term returns regardless of the harm to people and the environment had led fossil fuel companies "to lose legitimacy and social licence to operate".
"If the same happens to renewable energy companies, it will only slow our expansion to a net-zero carbon future. That’s why we need clean energy that respects human rights," she said, calling for a green transition "that is fast, but also fair."

Steve Clarke reveals injury knock as midfielder returns to Celtic
Celtic midfielder David Turnbull will return to Lennoxtown after failing to recover from an ankle knock suffered during the Hoops’ loss to St Mirren, Steve Clarke has revealed.
After going three games without a start, the 23-year-old returned to Ange Postecoglou‘s starting line-up for the Bhoys’ trip to Paisley.
Of course, the afternoon ended in disappointment for Celtic, losing out 2-0 to Stephen Robinson’s side, bringing an end to the 38-game league unbeaten run.
Turnbull played just under an hour of the match-up, being replaced by striker Giorgos Giakoumakis as Postecoglou went in search of two goals to get back into the game.
Bringing on another striker for goal-scoring threat may not have been the only reason Turnbull was replaced on Sunday, though.
As revealed by Scotland boss Steve Clarke, the former Motherwell man suffered an ankle injury which he was expected to recover from within a matter of days.
After being selected as part of Clarke’s squad for fixtures against Ukraine and Ireland, Turnbull joined club teammates Callum McGregor, Greg Taylor and Anthony Ralston.
However, during Wednesday evening’s 3-0 victory over Ukraine at Hampden Park, the Celtic midfielder was nowhere to be seen in the matchday squad.
Speaking to Premier Sports after the match, Clarke opened up on the reasoning behind Turnbull’s absence, revealing that he would be pulling out of the squad following his failure to recover from his ankle knock sustained on Sunday.
He said [Premier Sports]: “David Turnbull will pull out the squad. He picked up an ankle knock at the weekend that we thought would clear up.
“It’s not going to clear up in time for us. He’s better to back to his club to get ready for their next game.
“Two players light, I’ll probably need to call up at least one, maybe two players.”
Blow for Turnbull, but from a Celtic perspective first indication sounds positive
Whilst members of Ange Postecoglou’s squad are out on international duty, you never want to hear of players having to pull out of action due to injury.
However, in Turnbull’s case, going off of Steve Clarke’s comments, thankfully, it doesn’t sound as though the midfielder has sustained any serious damage.
Under Clarke, Turnbull has played more of a bit-part role for Scotland. So, it is maybe for the best that he returns to Lennoxtown in order to recover for the Hoops getting back to domestic action next month.
For a clearer understanding of the prognoses of Turnbull’s injury, we will have to wait for further updates to arrive from the club or Ange Postecoglou over the next week.
But, you would imagine the midfielder is hopeful of making his against his former side at Parkhead on the 1st of October, ahead of a busy fixture schedule.

Yea! "one stroke at a time!" That's the Zentangle way!
I enjoyed a weekend with some enthuisiastic junior high youth. We spent time talking about who we are, what we like -- regular self understanding acts that help us also know where we are going. I'm a craft person, so I incorporated a craft activity that all would personalize and enjoy. I had them Modge-podge a jar with magazine pictures and tissue paper and fabric. They looked great, and the kids (including 7 guys) really enjoyed the activity and were proud of the job they did. In the end, the kids took home their jars with "compliments" from the others. A gift that keeps on building. So, they maybe didn't stroke the Zentangle way - but with a brush, but you can still see how breaking down a task makes all growing easier.
The next Zentangle 101 class will be held : Sunday, March 20; 2-3:30 p.m. Come enjoy an afternoon of relaxation and focus. email me at email@example.com to register.
If you would like to refresh your tangling and learn some more advanced tangles, Zentangle 201, Join me on March 16, Wednesday, 10-11:30 noon. Please register through firstname.lastname@example.org.

Grants are available for senior citizens to pay for home repairs and renovations they cannot afford. Financial assistance is also available to renovate and improve public residential units occupied by elderly tenants. Approved projects under these federal grant programs make homes safer to live in, more accessible to disabilities and save homeowners money on utilities. However, some programs recoup funds if recipients don’t fulfill terms of agreements while others require applicants to secure money from outside sources for project costs.
The Very Low-Income Housing Repair Program
The Department of Agriculture (USDA) sponsors a grant program for senior homeowners to repair their homes after the removal of health and safety hazards. The Very Low-Income Housing Repair Program provides grants up to $7,500 to seniors 62 years of age and older who cannot afford loans. Although grants are generally not required to be repaid, this grant program recoups funds if recipients sell their homes within 36 months of getting the financial awards.
Seniors needing financial assistance to weatherize their homes to make them energy efficient can apply to the Weatherization program sponsored by the Department of Energy. Eligible projects include replacing windows and heating, cooling and electrical systems, adding weather stripping to doors and insulating walls and ceilings. Weatherization services are provided at no charge to homeowners.
Waste and Water Grants
The USDA also funds grants to fix up old colonial-style homes in the Southwest U.S. by replacing or installing water systems. Grants are used to install plumbing pipes, bathtubs and showers, bathroom and kitchen sinks, commodes, outdoor spigots, water boilers and, if necessary, entire bathrooms. Funds also cover water hookup fees. Water and waste grants are available to low-income homeowners living in Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico.
Supportive Housing for Persons With Disabilities
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sponsors the Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities program. The purpose of the grant program is to expand the number of supportive housing for low-income senior citizens who are disabled. Grants cover the acquisition of structures or the construction or renovation of supportive housing units.

Note from Rosebud
Aug 23, 2011
Hello to all of our friends who read the South Dakota Magazine website. I am Sicangu Lakota from the Rosebud Indian Reservation in south central South Dakota.
I will be sharing a Lakota perspective about my life on the reservation with the readers of this online magazine. I hope my contributions to this publication will help our readers learn a little bit more about the Indian tribes of our state.
I am the mother of two grown children and have four grandchildren. I have been a freelance writer for over ten years. My articles and columns have appeared in several newspapers. I received my formal education at Arizona State University and Sinte Gleska University. I am a member of the Native American Journalists Association and the Oak Lake Writers Society.
I am currently the Editor of the Lakota Country Times. Our weekly newspaper serves both the Pine Ridge and Rosebud Reservations. Even though our focus is largely on the positive events happening amongst our young Lakota people who live on these two reservations, we also print stories submitted by Indian people living in other areas.
Today, the majority of people living in the United States know my tribe as one of the Sioux bands. My tribe is also sometimes called the Brule. However, there are many of us living on the modern day Indian Reservations in South Dakota who would rather be called Lakota, Dakota or Nakota.
The federal government recognizes the tribes living in South Dakota as the Sioux; this is the legal term used to identify our people. My tribal membership card shows I am a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. Also, there are many of my people who will identify themselves as Sioux.
South Dakota has nine Indian Reservations. Rosebud, Pine Ridge, Lower Brule, Standing Rock and Cheyenne River are all comprised of Lakota people living west of the Missouri River. Flandreau, Sisseton, Yankton and Crow Creek are the homes of Dakota people living east of the river.
There are three dialects to our native language – Lakota, Dakota and Nakota. Visitors to our reservations can hear our language still spoken among many of our people today. Most of our Nakota speaking relatives currently reside in Canada.
In closing, I am looking forward to offering you a glimpse of my people and our way of life in the upcoming columns on www.southdakotamagazine.com. Thank you for reading!
Vi Waln is Sicangu Lakota and an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe. Her columns were awarded first place in the South Dakota Newspaper Association 2010 contest. She can be reached through email at firstname.lastname@example.org.


The former head of ABARE, Dr Brian Fisher, famously said that, if prices are high enough, roosters will lay eggs.
Australian Greens climate change spokesperson, Senator Christine Milne, today said that ABARE now has egg all over its face after another woefully inaccurate oil price forecast, leaving the Australian community scrambling to deal with a fuel price crisis.
Senator Milne said, "At some point, ABARE must be held to account for its failure to model any scenario under which peak oil is a reality. Where other economic forecasters model a range of scenarios based on a range of assumptions, ABARE has consistently modelled with the same flawed assumptions, even though the evidence has shown them to be wrong time and again.
"ABARE's current chief, Philip Glyde, as good as told today's Estimates hearings that the results of his organisation's modelling didn't matter as long as the assumptions were in the public domain.
"Glyde must understand that ABARE's results are not irrelevant, since they underpin Australia's transport planning policies and are the basis of many vital decisions made by farmers and rural communities across Australia. If the assumptions are wrong, they must be fixed.
"ABARE projected in March this year that the oil price in 2013 will be $82, returning thereafter to $67. There is no evidence for this projection which flies in the face of the reality faced by Australians every day, and is not backed up even by the notoriously conservative International Energy Agency.
"ABARE's failure over the past three years and more to recognise what has been staring everyone else in the face has meant that oil proofing the country with changed urban planning and investment in public transport has not happened. Now we have Australians trapped into using a fuel whose prices are skyrocketing, and a Minister for Resources focussed on his liquefied coal fantasy.
"Unless and until ABARE's projections are challenged or changed, we are unlikely to see the kind of strategic investment in mass transit, alternative fuels, vehicle fuel efficiency and other options that is desperately needed to prepare Australia for a world without cheap oil.
"The Minister, Tony Burke, must now require ABARE to immediately model not only its own assumptions, but peak oil assumptions as well. ABARE must also be required to model the economic impact of demand reduction through mass transit and fuel efficiency as against the cost of increased subsidies to oil exploration.
"ABARE must be held to account for holding back Australia's efforts to prepare for the twin challenges of peak oil and climate change."

RBA meeting minutes overview:
The Reserve Bank of Australia will on Tuesday release the minutes from its June 6 meeting. At the meeting, the RBA decided to retain its interest rate at a record low 1.50 percent for the ninth consecutive meeting. While recent months have pointed toward an upward trajectory for the official cash rate in analysts predictions, there are growing signs that the RBA’s easing cycle may not be over and the markets will be looking for comments to that effect. Importantly, one of the key barriers to rate cuts, the hot housing markets of Sydney and Melbourne, have shown signs of slowing. However, Lowe was speaking yesterday and that may be taken as a prelude to what to expect from the minutes without there being any surprises.
How could the minutes affect AUD/USD?
With the market fully pricing in a' no-change' to rates for the rest of this year, any surprises in the language of the minutes, either way, could move the market significantly. One of the largest ranges in the Aussie seen over events related to the RBA were over 175 pips on a 4hr chart basis back in 2015. The minutes could offer additional insights into the RBA's current mindset in regards to key areas such as the Aussie, USD, commodities, housing, inflation and the job market in particular; with any significant variations to the previous language in the statement or previous minutes around those subjects would be a catalyst.
AUD/USD has been in a correction in June from lows of 0.7374. In recent, trade, the pair broke up through the 0.7600 level. Any upside surprises from the meeting could eye a break towards 0.7640 resistance area while on the flip side, a break below the 10-sma on the 4hr sticks at 0.7570 opens 0.7520.
- AUD/USD analysis: easing from highs, but far from bearish
- AUDUSD: Resistance will be seen at the trend highs at around 0.7630/35
- RBA's Lowe: Growth next couple years likely stronger than recently
The minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia meetings are published two weeks after the interest rate decision. The minutes give a full account of the policy discussion, including differences of view. They also record the votes of the individual members of the Committee. Generally speaking, if the RBA is hawkish about the inflationary outlook for the economy, then the markets see a higher possibility of a rate increase, and that is positive for the AUD.

Since countries have different laws on the limits to free speech, none should be allowed to censor social media beyond its borders. The ECJ should make that clear when it decides the Glawischnig case.
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) ostensibly outlaws barriers to the flow of personal data between EU countries, and in September 2017, the European Commission published a draft regulation for a similar rule on non-personal data transfers. Yet a plethora of questions remain. How should policymakers address the remaining obstacles to data flows outside the union?
ITIF's Center for Data Innovation submitted comments to the Article 29 Working Party, the advisory body of European privacy regulators, on its guidelines regarding algorithmic decision-making and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
ITIF's Center for Data Innovation submitted comments to the European Commission in response to its recent impact assessment on “fairness in platform-to-business relations,” a study to investigate practices by online platforms—digital services that cater to two-sided markets—in their relations with other businesses.
European product innovators—firms that release new goods and services into the market—increased their employment by 8.5 percent during recessions (versus 12 percent during booms), writes John Wu in Innovation Files.
If the EU intends to build a Digital Single Market home to the next generation of tech companies, then it needs consistent policies that allow businesses in all sectors to take advantage of online advertising.
The average technology-based Italian businesses located in a science park cluster produced 5 additional patents when compared to a similar business not located in a science park, writes John Wu in Innovation Files.
Data innovation is making a major contribution to Europe’s economy, but there are stark variations between countries. This report uses a variety of indicators to measure data innovation in the EU and rank its 28 member states, identifying why some countries are ahead, and what others can do to catch up.
As a host of new digital technologies have emerged over the last decade, data has become a key driver of economic growth, social progress, and innovation. But what is the true state of data innovation in the EU, and how do European national economies compare in their use of and support for data?
The European Commission is set to release a report this week on corporate tax reform. According to news reports, it will recommend that the European Union make unilateral changes to the way its members tax large international companies. If these reports are accurate, European leaders should reject the report’s proposals.
When French fishing boats adopted a new fishing net design, it improved the quality of fish harvest by 29 percent and decreased fish prices by 23 percent.
The Center for Data Innovation emphasizes the fact that there is little to no evidence to support hyperbolic fears about AI in its response to a call for evidence by the select committee on artificial intelligence of the UK’s House of Lords.
The European Banking Authority recently proposed banning third-party financial services firms from using software to automatically collect consumer data from banks. That would limit innovation by enabling financial institutions to unfairly restrict their customers’ ability to share data with companies whose services often compete with those of the banks.
Among Irish firms, a 10 percent increase in R&D investment per employee raised productivity by 12 percent, writes John Wu in Innovation Files.
Foreign-owned Spanish manufacturing firms were 15 percent more productive from 1998 to 2012 than locally-owned firms, writes John Wu in Innovation Files.
“4.0 innovation” is something both sides of the Atlantic should not only welcome, but do everything possible to accelerate.
German laws criminalizing hate speech and defamation are already some of the most restrictive in Europe, writes Nick Wallace in The Local. But a new bill going through the Bundestag, intended to combat hate speech, will create powerful incentives for online platforms to suppress content that is not even illegal, and inhibit the development of data-driven tools that offer more sophisticated ways of fighting extremism.
In the EU, increasing R&D investment by one percent creates 30 percent more employment in high-tech firms than medium-tech firms, writes John Wu in Innovation Files.
As manned Dutch fuel stations were automated from 2005 to 2011, their fuel prices dropped by 1 to 2 percent, writes John Wu in Innovation Files.
The raison d’etre for the EU’s Digital Single Market was to incorporate the digital economy into EU integration. But from its very launch, the strategy always went far beyond that, imposing too many restrictions on new technologies, writes Nick Wallace in EU Observer.
ITIF's Center for Data Innovation has responded to the European Parliament’s public consultation on Civil Law Rules and Robotics.
ITIF's Center for Data Innovation has responded to the European Commission’s online questionnaire regarding its Building the European Data Economy package.
Join ITIF's Center for Data Innovation for a conversation with leading experts from industry and government about the future of smart cities and the steps policymakers should take to lead the way in the development of smart cities.
In comments to the Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities, ITIF’s Center for Data Innovation welcomed a recent discussion paper, which presents a largely accurate view of the benefits of big data in the financial sector.
To support the single market, the European Union should remove legal obstacles to data flows within the EU and relax the rules in the General Data Protection Regulation governing transfers to non-EU countries, writes Nick Wallace in EU Reporter.

Public exhibitions for new Aviemore to Carrbridge route plans
Written by: Fuel Card Services, Last updated:13th February 2023
A series of public exhibitions will take place this month to highlight proposed new plans for travel between Aviemore and Carrbridge.
Both sites are located in the Cairngorms National Park and the proposed new routes will focus on active travel options for visitors and the local community.
Plans will focus on active travel requirements
Should the scheme prove popular among exhibition guests and all interested parties, it will focus on creating new walking, cycling and low-carbon transport infrastructure in what is one of the most beautiful and pristine parts of the country.
A spokesperson for Transport Scotland stated: “I would urge anyone with an interest in this proposed scheme to attend one of the exhibitions or view the material online and give us their views on the proposed options.”
The exhibitions will be held on September 25th and 26th.
Pete Crane, Cairngorm National Park Authority head of visitor services, added there is “great support” for the scheme in the local area.
Ellie Baker, brand manager at FCS Scotland, adds: “Connecting local communities through improved transport options will be of great benefit to the area. It also highlights the continued focus of Transport Scotland to adopt environmentally-conscious proposals for new transport links.”back

As a 6’7″ rail-thin comedy writer, pretty much anything Stephen Merchant does is going to be awkward. In his HBO show, “Hello Ladies,” Merchant capitalizes on that God-given talent — and body.
If you don’t know Stephen Merchant by name, then you know him by IMDb page. He’s the other guy behind all of the projects that made Ricky Gervais rich and famous (“The Office,” “Extras,” “The Ricky Gervais Show,” et al.)
There was one good reason that Merchant did not work with Gervais on the current HBO project — Ricky doesn’t know what dating is like: “I suppose I could have collaborated with Ricky,” Merchant said. “But he’s been in a relationship with the same girl since he was 20.”
That’s normally a good thing, but it’s problematic in the comedy. Merchant plays Stuart Pritchard, a nerdy, less-than-suave Englishman who comes to Los Angeles to reverse his lousy luck in love. It’s not exactly an acting stretch for the self-deprecating, self-described “lonely, single” comic whose stand-up special of the same name chronicled his lack of game.
“Much of my dating life has been around fearing embarrassment,” he told TheWrap. Merchant was so convincing as an ineligible bachelor in his “Hello Ladies” stand-up show that HBO actually approached him to turn it into a TV series here in the States.
His strategy was simple, somewhat pathetic, but honest and brilliant: “I wanted the audience to feel superior to me,” Merchant said of the stand-up special in a Wrap interview. “My heroes: Bob Hope, Woody Allen … were always the butt of the joke.”
As is Merchant in “Hello Ladies.”
In the spin-off, Stuart is such a self-absorbed failure that at times the show can be tough to watch, which Merchant didn’t originally consider. “It never occurs to me that people will see it as anything other than comic, really,” he told TheWrap.
But now that the show has been on the air for a few weeks, Merchant said he understands viewer investment in the characters, and only half-joked that he may have to tone down his dating shortcomings in a second season — if HBO will have him back, that is. Still no word on that, Merchant says.
The style of comedy suits Merchant very well. He allows viewers to laugh at him instead of with him. Stuart’s a jerk, technically, but you can’t help but root for him.
“The idea that I never understood in comedy is trying to be sexy and cool,” Merchant told TheWrap, citing Eddie Murphy‘s stand-up specials in the 80s, where the then-rockstar comic wore leather jumpsuits. As a lad, Merchant could never figure out if they were meant to be cool, or part of the joke.
See video: 6 Things to Expect on HBO’s ‘Girls’ Season 3
That wouldn’t have worked in his native country. When asked, Merchant thoughtfully sums up the difference between British sitcoms and American sitcoms quite well: “[In British comedy] You can sort of start in a sadder place, and what you’re rooting for is the characters to meet moments of happiness, of upswings,” he said.
In America, it’s the exact opposite: The characters start out OK, then they meet moments that make them “wobble,” but then they end up OK again, Merchant says.
But the other big difference between the TV industry on each side of the Atlantic Ocean is the business itself.
“Syndication doesn’t exist in England,” Merchant said. “There’s no financial incentive to keep something going that long. You’re never going to make millions and millions of dollars for your backers. Theres so much vested interest in America.”
This Sunday, Stuart gets mixed up with the wrong crowd as tries to blend in with a Long Beach crew. Meanwhile his friend — and tenant — Jessica (Christine Woods) unsuccessfully attempts to define her relationship with friend-with-benefits Glenn (Sean Wing). It does not go quite as she hoped, as viewers will see below.
Watch the exclusive clip from this coming Sunday’s “Hello Ladies”:
