Kia ora,Welcome to Tuesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the International edition from Interest.co.nz.Today we lead with news China's export trade boom is holding up well.But first, American consumer credit grew by just +US$19 bln in April from March and less than expected. Compared with April 2019, it was +4.2% higher (with the 2020 comparison essentially meaningless).Meanwhile, Janet Yellen has been pointing out that the enormous "US$4 tln Biden Budget" is over a ten year timeframe and involves increased spending of about US$400 bln per year. She said that while that may put some upward pressure on inflation, in terms of the size of the US economy that will be relatively minor.China reported a May trade surplus of +US$45.5 bln which was slightly lower than expected as imports grew faster than exports. Their surplus with the USA was +US$31.8 bln as the improving American economy swelled it. It's deficit with Australia was -US$8.7 bln as the new "iron ore" is natural gas. Its May deficit with New Zealand was -US$830 mln. Of course, year-on-year comparisons suffer from the pandemic base issue. So it is best to compare with May 2019. In that basis, China's surplus is +9% higher and the surplus with the USA is much higher now than the 2019 +US$26.9 bln. Tariffs failed, and as any Econ101 student could have forecast; it was the American who paid the imposts. The US is transitioning to compete on product features and supply-chain security, a much more promising strategy.China's May foreign currency reserves rose marginally to US$3.22 tln or 22.2% of GDP (11.2 weeks) but just slightly down from 22.4% of GDP this time last year.In Australia, another services PMI survey for May confirms a fast-expanding sector and its strongest in 18 years. Prices are still rising abut perhaps the increases have peaked. Wages paid however are now rising faster.And Aussie job ads are rising faster and are at a 12 year high, pointing to a continued rapid tightening in their labour market and a steady fall in their jobless rate (5.5%) but which is still higher than New Zealand (4.7%).Australia's rural economy is firing on all cylinders, but hindered by China's concerted efforts to handicap it. Dams are filling and the mood is lifting as a bumper harvest drives a forecast record agricultural haul in 2021, a sharp turnaround from the past three years of decline. Production is expected to hit AUS$66 bln but exports are expected to fall to AU$46 bln. They expect things to improve next year however.Ratings agency S&P has affirmed Australia's credit rating as AAA and improved its outlook to 'stable'. This is similar to the Moody's rating. Moody's also rates New Zealand as Aaa, but S&P rates New Zealand one notch lower at AA+ and with a 'stable' outlook.The UST 10yr yield starts today still at 1.57%.The price of gold starts today at US$1897/oz, and up +US$5 overnight.Oil prices start today just marginally softer at just over US$69/bbl in the US, while the international Brent price are just under US$71.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar opens today marginally firmer at 72.4 USc. Against the Australian dollar we have firmed slightly to 93.3 AUc. Against the euro we are at 59.4 euro cents. That means our TWI-5 starts today at 73.9.The bitcoin price is now at US$35,684 and down a minor -0.9% than this time yesterday. Volatility in the past 24 hours has been moderate at +/- 2.2%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.And get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again tomorrow.
Its May 16, 2021 International Day of Light and International Day of living together in Peace. Yet we are now witnessing a horrible conflict in the Middle East.Many years ago Swami Muktananda gave a talk: Life is a play of Sunlight and Shadow.You cannot avoid seeing both, but you can choose how to experience them. I personally have negative and positive feelings that I may choose to express, and invite you through this poetry to enter the door and join me on this journey, as we remember our humanity, our true nature, our spiritual Self, and witness the material and physical reality we live in.

For the past several episodes, I have focused in on the current crisis of COVID-19 in hopes of helping you through it. It's May and spring is in the air. States are beginning their reacclamation to the world. I felt it was time to catch you up on my own solo cleaning business and get back to the show format that I began. Before I go backward, let me share an awesome story. In "Local Heroes", Ellen Johnston of Above & Beyond Housekeeping in Reading, PA was ecstatic as her company's video clip on the news of passing out free sanitizer to her community was picked up in a video by musical superstar Alicia Keys. Ellen's very own Cary Extraordinary (my nickname) is featured at the 53-sec mark in Alicia's new song "Good Job" music video! So cool!Let's go back in time as I would like to catch you up on my own solo cleaning company before COVID-19. My aim is to show you how this crisis affected me personally and then tease out lessons from each episode to help you with your solo cleaning business going forward. The last Carfagno Cleaning update was "Know Your Numbers", where I explained the mindset behind a $50 client referral. If you missed that episode, check it out!I was tracking the leads from my housecleaning client Erika. She posted a testimonial in our local mom's group. This kindness generated eight leads and one hired me! Here's the mindset, so you can follow along. I built a strong cleaning profile on FB. My wife joined the FB mom's group and participated in the group. She saw a mom's post who was searching for a cleaner and private messaged Erika. Erika called me and we set up an estimate, followed by a proposal, and I was hired! I worked with excellence to impress my new client, which I did for 2 months. Erika wrote a follow up post on the mom's group that she asked for a cleaning recommendation a few months ago and found a great one. This post generated 8 leads. Kim contacted me and ultimately hired me. I paid Erika a $50 referral credit as a thank you. I now needed to impress Kim to repeat the cycle of excellence, trust, and more referrals.I did exactly that. In my first visit, I did part 1 of an initial deep cleaning of Kim's house. It looked awesome and Kim noticed right away. She was so happy with the master bathroom especially. While I was there, we had a conversation that lead to two breakthroughs:Read the rest of this article at the Solo Cleaning School website

Jane Ferguson: Hi, everyone. Welcome to Getting Personal: Omics of the Heart, the podcast from Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine. It's May 2019, and this is episode 28. So let's see what papers we have in the journal this month. First up, a paper from Mengyao Yu, Nabila Bouatia-Naji and colleagues from the Inserm Cardiovascular Research Center in Paris, entitled GWAS-Driven Gene-set Analyses, Genetic and Functional Follow-Up Suggest Glis1 as a Susceptibility Gene for Mitral Valve Prolapse. In this paper, they set out to characterize the genetic contributions to mitral valve prolapse, or MVP, to better understand the biological mechanisms underlying disease. They applied the gene-set enrichment analysis for QWAS tool and the pathway enrichment tool DEPICT to existing GWAS for MVP in a French sample to identify gene sets associated with MVP. They find significant enrichment of genes involved in pathways of relevance to valve biology and enrichment for gene expression in tissues of relevance to cardiovascular disease. They zeroed in a Glis family zinc finger gene Glis1 with consistently strong pattern of evidence across the GWAS enrichment and transcription analyses. They replicated the association between Glis1 and MVP in a UK biobank sample. They found that Glis1 is expressed in valvular cells during embryonic development in mice, but is mostly absent at later times. They targeted two Glis1 orthologs in zebrafish and found that knockdown of Glis1 B was associated with a significant increase in the incidence of severe atrioventricular regurgitation. These data highlight Glis1 as a potential regulator of cardiac valve development with relevance for risk of mitral valve prolapse. Next up is a paper from Gina Peloso, Akihiro Namuro, Sek Kathiresan and colleagues from Boston University, Kanazawa University, and Mass General Hospital. In their paper, Rare Protein Truncating Variance in APOB, Lower LDL-C, and Protection Against Coronary Heart Disease, the team was interested in understanding whether protein truncating variance in APOB underlying familial hypobetalipoproteinemia confer any protection against coronary heart disease. They sequenced the APOB gene in 29 Japanese families with hypobetalipoproteinemia as well as in over 57,000 individuals, some with early onset CHD and some without CHD. They found that presence of an APOB truncating variant was associated with lower LDL cholesterol and lower triglycerides, and also with significantly lower risk for coronary heart disease. This study confirms that variance in APOB, leading to reduced LDL and triglycerides are also protective against coronary heart disease. : The next paper entitled Mortality Risk Associated with Truncating Founder Mutations in Titin comes to us from Mark Jansen, Dennis Dooijes, and colleagues from University Medical Center Utrecht. They analyzed the effect of titin truncating variance on mortality in Dutch families. Titin truncating variants are associated with dilated cardiomyopathy, but have a very variable penetrance. In this study, the authors looked at three titin truncating variants, established to be founder mutations, and traced the pedigrees back to 18th century ancestors. They looked at 61 individuals on the transmission line and 360 of their first-degree relatives. They find no evidence for excess mortality in variant carriers overall. However, when they restrict it to individuals over 60 years of age, they did find a significant difference in mortality, which was also observed in individuals born after 1965. What these data tell us is that these titin truncating variants have a relatively mild phenotype with effects on mortality only manifesting later in life in many carriers. Given increases in life expectancy over the past several decades, the prevalence of morbidity and mortality attributable to titin truncating variants may increase. Genetic screening may identify genotype-positive, phenotype-negative individuals who would benefit from preventative interventions. Continuing on the theme of genetic variance, we have a paper from John Giudicessi, Michael Ackerman, and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic, Assessment and Validation of a Phenotype-Enhanced Variant Classification Framework to Promote or Demote RYR2 Missense Variants of Uncertain Significance. In this paper, they aim to find a better way to classify variants of unknown significance, of VUS, in the RYR2 gene. Variants in this gene are commonly associated with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, or CPVT. They examined 72 distinct variants in 84 Mayo Clinic cases and find that 48% were classified as VUS under ACMG guidelines. The rate was similar in a second sample from the Netherlands, with 42% of variants originally classified as VUS. They developed a diagnostic scorecard to incorporate a pretest clinical probability of CPVT, which included various clinical criteria, including symptoms and stress test results. Application of the phenotype enhanced ACMG criteria brought the VUS rate down to 7% in Mayo Clinic and 9% in the Dutch samples. The majority of VUS were reclassified as likely pathogenic. This study highlights how incorporation of disease-specific phenotype information can help to improve variant classification and reduce the ambiguity of reporting variants of unknown significance. We also have a number of research letters in the journal this month. From Karine Ngoyen, Gilbert Habib, and coauthors from Marseilles, we have a paper entitled Whole Exome Sequencing Reveals a Large Genetic Heterogeneity and Revisits the Causes of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, Experience of a Multicentric study of 200 French Patients. In this study, they examined the genetic contributions to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, in 200 individuals as part of the HYPERGEN study and compared the benefits of whole exome sequencing compared with targeted sequencing of candidates' sarcomeric genes. All subjects had HCM documented by echocardiography. In the whole exome sequencing data, they first looked for mutations within 167 genes known to be involved in cardiomyopathies or other hereditary diseases. Of these 167 virtual panel genes, they find variants in 101 genes. Following whole exome sequencing, over 87% of the patients had an identified pathogenic, or likely pathogenic, mutation compared with only 35% of patients who only had targeted sequencing of sarcomeric genes. This highlights the generic heterogeneity of HCM and suggests that whole exome sequencing has utility in identifying variants not covered by sarcomeric gene panels. The next letter is from Wouter Te Rijdt, Martin [Vandenberg] and colleagues from University Medical Center Groningen and states that [dissynchronopathy] can be a manifestation of heritable cardiomyopathy. They hypothesized that left bundle branch block, also designated as dissynchronopathy, may be a manifestation of familial cardiomyopathy. They analyzed patients from a database of cardiac resynchronization therapy and identified super-responders whose left ventricular dysfunction was normalized by therapy. They carried out targeted sequencing in 60 known cardiomyopathy genes in 16 of these super-responder individuals and identified several variants, including a pathogenic variant in troponin T in one individual and variants of unknown significance in nine individuals. Pedigree analysis identified multiple family members with dilated cardiomyopathy. This study highlights that dissynchronopathy can be a manifestation of DCM, but that affected individuals may still benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy. The next letter entitled Targeted Long-Read RNA Sequencing Demonstrates Transcriptional Diversity Driven by Splice-Site Variation in MYBPC3 comes from Alexandra Dainis, Euan Ashley, and colleagues from Stanford University. They set out to understand whether transcriptome sequencing could improve the diagnostic yield over genome sequencing in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In particular, they hypothesized that long-read sequencing would allow for identification of alternative splicing linked to disease variance. They used long-read RNA and DNA sequencing to target the MYBPC3 gene in an individual with severe HCM who carried a putative splice-site altering variant in the gene. They were able to obtain heart tissue for sequencing and included several HCM and control subjects in addition to the patient with the MYBPC3 variant. They identified several novel isoforms that were only present in the patient sample, as well as some additional isoforms, including retained introns, extended exons, and an additional cryptic exon, which would not have been predicted based on the DNA variant. While the effects on protein function is not known, the transcripts are predicted to be translated. This analysis highlights the effect of a rare variant on transcription of MYBPC3 and provides additional evidence to link the variant to disease. This is a really nice approach, which could be used to probe causality and mechanisms, not only for cardiovascular disease, but for other rare variants in many disease settings. We finish with a perspective piece from Nosheen Reza, Anjali Owens, and coauthors from the University of Pennsylvania entitled Good Intentions Gone Bad, The Dangers of Sponsored Personalized Genomics. They present a case of a 23-year-old woman who presented for genetic counseling and evaluation after discovering she carried a likely pathogenic MYH7 variant associated with cardiomyopathy. She had no significant medical history, but had participated in employer-sponsored genetic testing motivated to identify potential variants related to cancer given a family history of cancer. After receiving her results, she experienced considerable anxiety and stopped exercising out of fear of cardiac complications. She visited an ER after experiencing chest pain, something she had not experienced previously. There was no appropriate counseling available at her institution for her genetic test results, leading her to seek out the additional counseling. Thus, while she was initially motivated to complete genetic testing because her employer offered it free of change, she ended up incurring costs related to the followup evaluation and counseling. Ultimately, she had no significant clinical findings. Although the variant had been listed as likely pathogenic, other sources consider it to be of unknown significance. This story highlights the psychological and financial impact that genetic testing can have on individuals, particularly when carried out without any pretest counseling or accessible post-test support when variants are identified. Despite the considerable promise of personalized medicine, there are many complexities to be considered, particularly with direct-to-consumer testing and employer-sponsored testing. This perspective highlights the ethical considerations and urges caution to maintain the best interests of patients. That's all for this month. Thanks for listening. I look forward to bringing you more next month.

It's May and springtime is in the air! We are joined this week by bassist Matt Ohanian (of DAEVES, Bears for Years, and Smell) to tackle Talk Talk's 1986 impressionist pop gem "The Colour of Spring". While due respect is paid to the late Mark Hollis, we also manage to weasel in some discussions on gout, subpar bowling leagues, and creepy English nobility. Oh and we may have cursed ourselves by calling the now-defunct hotline for Unsolved Mysteries... and this episode may or may not be cursed itself. Only one way to find out!
Go back in time with me. It's May 2018. LSU has just finished, by all accounts, a successful season, a season of marked improvement. But Will Wade wasn't satisfied, because he's a competitor, and he hated losing seven straight SEC road games. So he hit the road, to learn and adapt and correct those road woes. Fast forward to present day, and LSU has made history, winning all nine SEC road games and setting the stage for an SEC title on Saturday vs. Vanderbilt. On today's show, we recap that road resurgence, hear from Tremont Waters, Skylar Mays, and Emmitt Williams on the Florida win and the task at hand vs. Vanderbilt, and finish with a scouting report of the Commodores. Here's a link to the story I reference in today's long introduction. https://lsul.su/2UkF1Jf
Neil Jordan and Stephen Rea get started, Judd Nelson smarms it up, and Peter Fonda can't settle on a terrible title for a terrible movie. Summer gets off to a strange start with a baseball myth, some spring break bullshit, and two of the most heated conversations about big cultural icons we've had so far. Pop and lock with us, won't you? It's May of 1984.
Its May 1942 and America has joined the Second World War, committing many of its combat resources to campaigns around the world. On the East coast of America, vital shipping are being sunk by German submarines. The losses had been so terrible that the figures were being withheld from the public and for a few humiliating weeks, all coastal vessels were ordered to stay in harbour until convoys could be organised. The stage was set for the creation of the Civil Air Patrol. Images displayed under Creative Commons licence with thanks to the US Gov, Fry1989, the CAP and U.S. Air Force/Staff Sgt. Jacob N. Bailey.
It's May 2016. The podcast is taking off. Astrid's new cousin is due next month! And I can't decide if we should ignore the fact that we are broke and somehow find a way to go to New York for Mimi's wedding, for a reunion with our friends from Denmark one year on, while Astrid still remembers them.Time has turned in on itself. These events of mid 2016 might feel familiar, though context has changed. The series has become a mobius strip. This production is made by Sophie and Astrid Harper, in partnership with Wondery.

It's May, which means most of the kids in school right now are thinking about the summer. And to celebrate, we've got two stories about some rather unfortunate school mishaps.
It's May, so Peter finally gets to ask Bryan the big question: "How was your run today?" And...he gets an answer! Then they go back in time once more to the Boston Marathon to respond to a listener question about their experience. They describe the crazy marathon-day weather conditions atop Heartbreak Hill, and Peter shares his amazing experience meeting an international, first-time marathoner. Then, we listen in on Bryan's interview with Marnie Kunz, running coach, writer, and creator of Runstreet Art Runs, which takes runners of all levels on tours to explore local street art and murals. Marnie talks about how Runstreet got started in New York, the experience of leading the big Boston Marathon shakeout run, and where else she'd like to take Runstreet. Plus, an announcement about our upcoming Mother's Day episode! http://www.runstreet.com Be sure to order your sweet, sweet, limited edition HWYRT Boilermaker 15K singlet before June 1st: https://www.customink.com/g/ktm0-00bd-ng4g
It's May y'all! I don't know what it's like where you are, but May is starting off beautifully in Austin, TX. The weather is perfect, every thing is green and baseball season is in full gear. To kick the month off, Megan Tietz is joining me for episode #139 of The Happy Hour. Megan served as the soothing voice and spirited pen behind SortaCrunchy – blog hub for all things faith, family, and natural living from 2006-2014. She is also co-author of Spirit-Led Parenting: From Fear to Freedom in Baby’s First Year. In 2015, she launched Sorta Awesome and discovered she was born to host a podcast what with having that unique creative chemistry that thrives on in-depth analysis of pop culture, all things intentional living, and the next big thing you didn’t know you couldn’t live without. On today's show, we talk all about podcasting, which we're both obviously passionate about. Megan shares her latest favorites and we discuss the newest podcast craze, S-Town (don't worry...no spoilers this time). Megan is also a personality guru and shares her assessment of my personality type, and explains why she has found personality types fascinating and helping in interpersonal relationships. And finally, we talk about Megan's travels to Lebanon, the refugee crisis and how her perspective has shifted after her travels. There are a lot of links below if you are interested in learning more about how you can be involved.
