Earlier this year, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce announced a revision to our legislative scorecard. Beginning with this Congress, lawmakers will receive credit for cosponsoring Chamber-endorsed bills or refraining from cosponsoring bills the Chamber endorses against.
Our intent is to use this process to build momentum for the pro-business position on individual bills.
How you vote on legislation where the Chamber has communicated a position will continue to make up 80% of your score. The Chamber will continue to issue support and opposition letters, including key vote letters, on legislation important to the business community and our members.

Fantasy Village – Part 1
Posted by Ray on Jan 18, 2019 in Blog | Comments Off on Fantasy Village – Part 1
There are many very visually pleasing destinations in Wales, some love the great and all-encompassing views from the mountaintops making themselves and their problems feel insignificant, others prefer the vast open expanse of the beaches as they look at the infinite horizon. Some people love the idea of the small villages and towns that are dotted around the country, many people enjoy the comfort and community of a quiet collective of people all nestled into the same area.
Despite this the wet weather can put some people off, which is why so many British folk venture closer to the equator every year. But many people may not be aware that tucked away in Wales is a place that emulates the look, feel and tranquility of the Mediterranean bringing its own very green blend of pleasure to all who visit.
How Did It Get Here?
Portmeirion almost seems like it isn't real. The lush greenery that surrounds it mixed with the buildings and structures that are clearly not from Britain, all arranged in an unconventional manner that doesn't replicate anywhere else nearby makes you feel like you have stepped through the looking glass without realising. In fact many people who visit agree that the place has a fantasy feel about it, the colourful exterior walls of the buildings no doubt help with this as they add a vibrancy to the area that the plain brick buildings of Wales just don't have.
Much of this was intentional as the village's designer Sir Clough Williams-Ellis was inspired by a fishing village in Italy when he set out to make something different in north Wales. A mix of these foreign elements and some postmodernism made for the palette in which he pulled from, many also believe he deliberately aimed for something more elaborate and something which reminded him of a jovial past. To make this place authentic he made sure that buildings, relics and other overlooked pieces of architecture were transported here. Therefore, instead of starting from scratch the builders had many genuine articles to begin construction on, restoring any dilapidated pieces along the way. Another reason this is so fantastic is that Portmeirion now remains a historic place for all of this old design, many of these walls and designs would have been deconstructed if they were left back in their home town, but now remain loved and admired here. Maybe this is one of the reasons that the area feels so timeless.
As the place has grown in popularity slowly but surely, the area has had to expand to accommodate the growing number of tourists that head here annually. Luckily however this doesn't mean that huge hotels and chain stores have overshadowed the essence of the place, in fact the exterior of the village remains the same and the buildings have instead changed their function. Iconic buildings like the castle here have been made into hotels and the old shops have simply become modernised, another reason that the entire area seems like a theme park – in the best way.

26 February 2015, 18:18 | Updated: 26 February 2015, 19:04
A 20-year-old Bournemouth woman has pleaded guilty to making false attempted rape allegations against two soldiers because she did not want to admit she had been unfaithful to her boyfriend.
Nicole Richess, from Helyar Road, pleaded guilty at Bournemouth Crown Court to perverting the course of justice.
A CPS spokeswoman said that the false allegations, made when she was aged 18, led to the soldiers being disciplined by the Army and the investigation put on their service records.
Richess will be sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court on March 26.
Following the conviction, Sophie Stevens, senior crown prosecutor for the Rape and Serious Sexual Offences team at the CPS, said:
"Attempting to rape someone is a very serious criminal offence.
"Nicole Richess made false allegations that two soldiers had attempted to rape her because she had been confronted by her boyfriend who had been made aware that she had been unfaithful.
"The investigation by Dorset Police into her allegations revealed that on Friday 9 November 2012, she went out for the evening with girlfriends in Bournemouth. They went clubbing and she, with one of her friends, met four young men, army soldiers.
"Nicole Richess then took the two soldiers to her home where they had sexual intercourse.
"What she did not know is that her boyfriend of three years would be aware of what happened through rumours, as a result he confronted her.
"Scared she started to make up stories and after three days of being pressurised by her boyfriend she went to the police and said the soldiers had attempted to rape her.
"She maintained her story during the police investigation, which quickly revealed discrepancies in her statement.
"Her selfishness and lies had serious consequences professionally and personally on the two young men, who had to be disciplined according to the Army Policy. The investigation went on their record and this limited their opportunities to be mobilised abroad.
"Their private lives had been exposed only because Nicole Richess could not take responsibility for her actions.
"We hope that with this conviction, they will be able to move on with their lives."

I was so busy with the No More Student Loans Giveaways last week that I didn't get my new habit for March posted. [There are over a dozen prizes from some of my very favorite authors and businesses. If you haven't yet, click here to enter the giveaways. Entry closes tonight!]
Rather than make resolutions for 2012, each month I am working to establish one new habit. I would love to have you join me!
In case it got buried in the midst of all the giveaways, here's the update on February's Habit (establish a lunch routine).
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit," said Aristotle. Habits, both good and bad, help shape our character.
Lately, I've been slipping into a bad habit. It's called checking my phone for emails/Facebook updates a dozen times a day (or more!)
I've excused myself saying, "Oh, it only takes a minute."
Often though, that minute grows into five or ten minutes. Even when it really does only take a minute, checking email distracts my mind from the task at hand.
In Amy's excellent book, Tell Your Time, (enter to win one of 3 copies!) she encourages us to step back and evaluate our longterm life goals. To evaluate the kind of person, wife, mother, homemaker, writer and/or fill in the blank we want to be.
Once we have a vision for our lifetime goals, we must arrange our days and Tell Our Time so we can fulfill those goals.
Needless to say, the kind of mother I want to be does not check her phone constantly while she's coloring with her kids. The kind of wife I want to be isn't reading an email when her husband has time to talk. I want to use those "extra" moments to tie heart-strings with my family.
Thanks to Amy, I do have blocks of time set aside for blogging, Facebook and all the other online fun. My habit for March is to stick to my online time budget and not let technology distract me from whole-heartedly pursuing my calling as wife and mother.
If there are down times during the day and checking email will not distract me from other priorities, I am allowing myself two (and only two) unscheduled quick checks.
What about you? Are you working on any new habits this month? If so, I'd love it if you linked up or shared in the comments!

News that President Muhammadu Buhari signed on Monday a law on the oil industry that will be of immense benefit to Nigeria, was overshadowed by the information that the signing was done in London, where Buhari is vacationing, in the presence of his chief of staff, Abba Kyari.
According to the President, "Today is an important day for all Nigerians – but particularly the young generation.
"Today I signed into law the amended Deep Offshore Act. Nigeria will now receive its fair, rightful and equitable share of income from our own natural resources for the first time since 2003.
"In that year oil prices began a steep increase to double – and at times – triple over the following decade.
"All this time Nigeria has failed to secure its equitable share of the proceeds of oil production, for all attempts to amend the law on the distribution of income have failed. That is, until today.
"Rapid reductions in the cost of exploration, extraction and maintenance of oil fields had occurred over these 25 years, at the same time as sales prices have risen.
"A combination of complicity by Nigerian politicians and feet-dragging by oil companies has, for more than a quarter-century, conspired to keep taxes to the barest minimum above $20 per barrel – even as now the price is some three times the value.
"Today this changes. For the first time under our amended law, 200 million Nigerians will start to receive a fair return on the surfeit of resources of our lands. Increased income will allow for new hospitals, schools, infrastructure and jobs.
"Today marks a new and beneficial relationship with our oil company partners: one that benefits all – starting with the Nigerian people."
The import of the signing, in which the president was casually dressed and Abba Kyari was even suited, was lost as Nigerians questioned the appropriateness of the president's action when there is a vice president in Nigeria.
Buhari left Nigeria for a 21-day trip without transmitting power to the Vice-President, with his spin doctors saying he could govern from anywhere, including when he is not officially working for the country.
Here are some comments by Nigerians:
Why on earth would overzealous (oversabi) Malam Abba Kyari board an aircraft (highly likely with tax payers money) to London for the President (who is on a private leave) to sign a bill into law while fully knowing that the VP is around. Total disregard and disrespect to the VP.
— I AM THE CHOSEN ONE (@sadiqabubakr) November 4, 2019
If they like Abba Kyari shu be signing it himself, Whatever has Genesis will have Revelation, May 29,2023 is INEVITABLE and NEAR. That's beauty of DEMOCRACY.
— Olaniyi B. Ojo (@ojoniyi83) November 4, 2019
Nobody is talking about the cost of taking that bill to the UK by Abba Kyari to be signed by the president. https://t.co/GClU58dm8j
— 'niyi (@judeofGod) November 4, 2019
Nigeria's seat of govt has officially been moved to London by this single act by Abba kyari and @NGRPresident @MBuhari https://t.co/7cOGtKb7eh
— ☀ Affidavit President | The illuminator (@konilingos) November 4, 2019
Man like Abba Kyari… As usual, VP is toothless and probably a poster. Fly d plane and get some funny bill signed.
Meanwhile with love from London… pic.twitter.com/i4h1JfPxxd
— Rice Zul of Bauchi 🇳🇬 (@RyceDee) November 4, 2019
So Abba Kyari flew all the way to London to give PMB documents to sign. I feel sorry for Osinbajo.

China prohibited individuals from purchasing train or plane tickets 23 Million times in 2018 due to their low social credit scores, as per the media reports.
The government launched out the travel prohibition on users with low scores for social credit in May 2018. As per a report from National Public Credit Information Center of China, people have been banned 5.5 Million times from purchasing high-speed train tickets and 17.5 Million times from buying airplane tickets. These individuals had turned "discredited" for undetermined behavioral crimes. That is up from just 6.15 Million people being banned from taking flights as of a couple of years back, as per Supreme Court in China.
As fraction of the system, the Government of China also uses a public blacklist of those who have been discovered guilty of crimes in court and penalizes them partially by restricting their capability of buying train and plane tickets.
On a related note, Beijing earlier blacked out its online video services of 3 well-known Chinese media websites in a speedy action that set free economic shockwaves and caused a hard warning to the online video industry of the country: "clean up, or close down."
Internet shares of China dropped after news of the strangely unkind clamp down spread, with Weibo Corp's down 6.1%, while SINA Corp, which has a market stake in Weibo, fell 4.8%. That summed to a total $1.3 Billion loss to both companies' value in the market. Sina Weibo—the Twitter-like service, ACFUN—the well-known online video website, and iFeng.com—the news portal, will have to end video streaming services that violate the regulations of the country, the company claimed.
"This will offer a clear and clean Internet space for the huge number of online consumers," the State Administration of Publication, Press, Film, Radio, and Television claimed in a brief post on its official site online.

We hate to be the fun police, but although the Christmas holidays are the time to relax and celebrate, it's also the time of the year when accidents and injuries can increase dramatically. With this, don't let this Christmas holiday turn into a nightmare, and follow these useful tips below for a disaster-free holiday.
Nothing kicks off the festive season like putting up a towering, grandly-decorated, sparkling Christmas tree. It marks everything that's magical about the season, but whether you've picked up a real or artificial tree, they can pose a significant fire hazard in the home. Remember to double check your lights to make sure they conform to Australian standards, don't overload your power outlets with adaptors or power boards, and keep it away from heat sources such as fireplaces or heaters and candles. And just to be on the safe side, turn off the lights each night before you head to bed, and if you're heading away, consider unplugging them altogether.
Whether it's for Christmas lunch, Boxing day, or any other day of the festive season, you'll most likely find yourself dusting off the trusty BBQ and cooking up some snags in the sun. As such, don't get caught out causing a BBQ-related fire and having to deal with a bigger blaze than you bargained for. Before the BBQ season, give your grill a good clean before, during, and after use, check all gas hoses for leaks, make sure your BBQ is set-up away from any flammable structures and always keep it supervised when cooking.
You'll no doubt be heading off somewhere in the car over the Christmas break for a good ol' summertime road trip. Sun in the sky, tunes on the radio, and hopefully some quiet kids in the backseat. But as the km's begin to drag on, you might notice your attention waning, remember to stop, revive, survive. Before you get yourself into a mess, pull over, take a break, stretch out and get refreshed for the next leg. This, along with some generally safe driving, should ensure you get to where you're going safely.
Well it's not called the 'silly season' for no reason. This is the time of the year to let your hair down at the work Christmas party, down a few cold ones on Christmas Day, or get in some practice sessions for a big New Year's Eve. Whatever the celebration, just make sure to have a plan B for getting home that night and also think before you drive the next day. If you went too hard, you still might be over the limit when you go to drive in the morning, so if you're in doubt, just play it on the safe side.
If 'Home Alone' taught us anything, it's that burglars are just waiting for us to leave home for the holidays before ransacking the place. In truth, that's not far from what happens at this time of the year. There is a notorious increase in home break-ins, so before you head off, consider having your mail held at the post office so it doesn't pile up, let a trusted neighbour know your plans so they can be on the lookout, lock up your place securely, and maybe even leave a car in the driveway if you can, so it looks like someone is at home.
With summer upon us and the threat of bushfires intensifying, there's no time like the present to implement some simple yet highly effective life-saving precautions. It's an unfortunate fact of life for large parts of Australia, that Christmas coincides with the bushfire season, so make sure your home is as prepared as it can be. Trim any branches that are hanging over your roof, reduce the amount of dry and dead fuel around your property, slash and mow the grass, and store any combustible materials well away from your house in a shed or outbuilding.

Oldest Theme Parks
BBC: Shaney Hudson writes about the first "Theme Parks" known, in a cool BBC travel article.
Why read the article? Apart from being a good light read, it actually imparts some very interesting and (I'm guessing) very little-known facts.
I'll share a few spoilers here to whet your appetite for the entire article.
FTA: While most people assume amusement parks are an American invention, their roots are in fact grounded in the Old World. Many of Europe's best-known theme parks are centuries old, evolving from upper class "pleasure gardens" — public spaces that included recreational activities in the 18th and 19th century — to established tenants of local culture.
So, what kind of time-frame are we talking here? How about: The earliest Theme Park still in operation today, "Bakken" near Copenhagen in Denmark, was first opened in 1583.
Yes, they had rollercoasters and giant mice even back then no, no they didn't. What they did have? Well, it seems you could drink from an invigorating natural spring water source and see the best shows and entertainments of the times. To really seal the deal you could also buy and see demonstrations of the hottest new trending products and services peddled by hawkers and vendors just like today. Ok, so there was no rollercoaster in 1583 but Bakken does still have an old wooden rollercoaster built in 1932!
How about this, want to know where the original Ferris Wheel was born?
FTA: The world's oldest Ferris wheel, the Riesenrad, is located in Vienna's Prater Park. The 212ft structure has been synonymous with the city since it was erected for Emperor Franz Jospeh's Golden Jubilee in 1897 on the old Imperial hunting grounds. The wooden, wagon-shaped gondolas rotate on a large steel frame offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding fairground; the interiors are covered in graffiti left by lovers and rebels over the decades..
For a travel article, it's a quick but more-ish read of some nicely organised info and a pleasant sense of history to boot. Worth a visit for at least a few dozen extra interesting and noteworthy facts whether or not you're planning to travel Europe to see the oldest theme parks.

Letting Go
New theme park quirks – via Wired
Wired: Joseph Flaherty has a quick run-down on some interesting twists coming to theme parks this year.
My pick: Why go see the article? The roller coaster video.
First up, an extreme bent on the roller coaster called the X-Flight for Chicago where riders practically fly. Check out the video there. Second thing on the list, an odd ice cream dish called FruktSno which is shaved at high speed onto the plate giving a unique texture. Last of the 3 items examined is a weird little 3D scanner object.. your face on a Star Wars figurine.

A very important note
Attention. This is a note. It's a very important note at that. I think that you should note that this note is a note about note writing. You see, with note writing, or note writing about note writing, there are so many things that could go wrong. You could accidently mispelll or repeat repeat words. or you could comPLETELY Forget, "grammar altogether. Potentialllly all all of the, erors's could happen in one note. And of-course i wouldn would know, after all, i am THE master of note writing.

Brought to you by the people who occupy wall street.
I loved this – someone I did business with during the week sent me 'kudos', positive feedback via this site (Kirb.com) and I felt it was such a cool thing to receive. I chose to publish their testimonial for my business. Simple to do. But I could have kept it a private posting too. I want to send kudos to others from now on because it created a brilliant 'thank you' at the close of a deal and I imagine for anything else in life.
Anyway, it's positive, well developed – this could get big and I felt it's a site that Stumblers would particularly love to use in their private life or at work to congratulate good businesses for the little things they do, or the big things. I think it would be a great way eventually to find the best companies to buy certain things from etc.
From the site:
"Who deserves your Kudos? Showcase the people, groups and businesses that amaze you ~ they'll love you for it.
Another thing that surprised me was to find it's only been operating a few weeks and the fellow I did business with was one of the owner/devs, Andy.
This isn't a paid plug and I genuinely think a lot of people I know online will really want to use this – or more to the point, would love to have someone send them kudos for something they did well.
It reminded me of how I felt when I first used StumbleUpon.com – a very positive web site that changes something about how people think about what the 'Web' is for – and I'm told new features are coming.

An Ode to May Movements 1 and 2 – Piano, 6.26 mins long.
This is my attempt to encapsulate several things. Firstly, it began as an ode to springtime, the month of May in particular as experienced in England as described by a friend and also another friend's news of the beginning of a relationship. As it was being written, a tragedy interrupted and a first movement was added.
This is about triumph over tragedy and the sweetness of life moving from a wintery happenstance towards new triumphs in life – bittersweet and with romantic forms – aslo inspired to an extent by Barcarolas.

Longevity Meme Newsletter, July 31 2006
July 31 2006
The Longevity Meme Newsletter is a weekly e-mail containing news, opinions and happenings for people interested in healthy life extension: making use of diet, lifestyle choices, technology and proven medical advances to live healthy, longer lives.
- From the Latest Rejuvenation Research
- Forthcoming Conferences of Interest
- Moonlighting at the Methuselah Foundation Blog
- Discussion
- Latest Healthy Life Extension Headlines
The latest issue of Rejuvenation Research - volume 9, number 3 - is available online; we should feel thankful that we have moved into an era in which respected, high impact factor scientific publications openly support and encourage the development of anti-aging science. This is a sea change from even a decade ago, and a promising sign that volunteer activism can still make a real difference to the path taken by scientific research.
I note a few items from the journal in this Fight Aging! post:
Of greatest interest to me is the work on aging mitochondria, those powerhouses of cells implicated in many age-related conditions and thought to be involved in one root cause of aging. Damaged mitochondria may hurt health by simply not doing their very vital job, or by generating excessive amounts of oxidative stress while working. Either way, your cells will suffer.
A group of Italian researchers have demonstrated - in cell cultures, at least - a comparatively simple way to make cells recycle excess or damaged mitochondria more aggressively, a process known as autophagy. The scientists propose that age-related failure of mitochondrial functions is a function of failing autophagy, and more power to them if they can prove that to be the case.
A couple of conferences of interest to the wider healthy life extension community are coming up in the months ahead.
TransVision 2006
August 17th
6th Alcor Conference
October 6th
3rd International Conference on Healthy Aging & Longevity
October 13th

I should note that biomedical gerontologist Aubrey de Grey will be speaking at both the Alcor and TransVision event. I strongly recommend you take the chance to hear him speak in person if you haven't done so already.
You can find a wealth of multimedia interviews and presentations by de Grey online; the SENS website, the MPrize website, and the collection put together by Immortality Institute volunteers are good places to start:
I have been helping the Methuselah Foundation volunteers set up a blog and place it in motion in recent weeks:
I am interesting in hearing from supporters and donors in the audience: what sort of posts would you find most helpful, valuable and interesting? Examples might include funded research updates (such as LysoSENS), volunteer profiles, donor profiles, or advance notice and input on publicity campaigns. I'm making no promises as to what will wind up there in the future, but I would like some input as to how folk feel the Foundation should be communicating with us all - so as to better show all the work and progress that goes on behind the scenes.
The highlights and headlines from the past week follow below.

TIME on Stem Cell Research, Politics (July 30 2006)
For those keeping tabs on stem cell politics - and they way it dominates and twists mainstream reporting of actual science and progress - TIME provides something of an overview: "Not all embryonic-stem-cell lines are created equal. Some are more readily driven down a certain lineage, such as heart cells, while others more easily become nerve. We don't understand how it happens, but it does mean we need diversity. ... researchers announced this summer that they would develop new cell lines through somatic cell nuclear transfer, or therapeutic cloning. ... these cells would match the patient's dna, so the body would be less likely to reject a transplant derived from them. Even more exciting for researchers, however, is that this technique can yield embryos that serve as the perfect disease in a dish, revealing how a disease unfolds from the very first hours." For politics and funding, the article is another biased viewpoint in a world full of biased viewpoints. The field is complex, comparatively well-funded and moving rapidly - but the technical goals are challenging enough without adding meddling politicians to the list.
More Targeted Cancer Therapies (July 30 2006)
A great deal of clever engineering is taking place in the development of new methods of targeting, delivering and activating pinpoint anti-cancer therapies. This technology will have utility in the future - the ability to target very small areas or very specific types of cell in the body opens up all sorts of possibilities throughout medicine. Here is an example via Israel21c: "The two big problems with photodynamic therapy are getting the light-sensitive drug to only target cancer cells, and delivering light to the drug to activate it once it is in the right place. We've uniquely combined two cutting-edge technologies to direct a drug to cancer cells and to generate a light source inside the cells. This stops the drug killing healthy cells ... we've shown in the research that if you take a cell culture and treat it with the light sensitive compound called luminol - it produces chemiluminescence in the cell which activates the light sensitive molecules and kills the cells. ... We're now in the pre-clinical stage using models of leukemia, but we're not limited to that cancer."
More Common Sense On Health (July 29 2006)
Via USA Today: "overweight and obese women spend an average of three more years in ill health than normal-weight women. Heavy men, on average, are sicker one more year than their thinner counterparts. Heavy people are more likely to suffer from pain, arthritis, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other illnesses that may affect their ability to perform daily tasks ... An obese 30-year-old has as many chronic conditions as a normal-weight 50-year-old and reports quality of life that is worse than a 50-year-old." Correlation is not causation; a condition that prevents exercise can lead to weight gain if diet remains unchanged, for example. A look at what scientists understand about fat, inflammation and the roots of age-related disease should be a wake-up call, however. You have a great deal of control over the future trajectory of your health and its costs: make use of it.
Chronic Disease, Reliability Theory (July 29 2006)
The New York Times compares the present day with a past of shorter life spans and even more widespread suffering from age-related disease. "Diseases early in life left people predisposed to chronic illnesses when they grew older. ... Suppose you were a survivor of typhoid or tuberculosis. What would that do to aging? ... the number of chronic illnesses at age 50 was much higher in that group. ... Something is being undermined. Even the cancer rates were higher. Ye gods. We never would have suspected that. ... Men who had respiratory infections or measles tended to develop chronic lung disease decades later. Malaria often led to arthritis. Men who survived rheumatic fever later developed diseased heart valves." The reliability theory of aging and longevity goes a long way towards explaining why prevalence of chronic disease is linked to shorter life spans via an increased rate of cellular damage.
Common Sense, Not Rocket Science (July 28 2006)
Some common sense on taking care of your health in the here and now from Forbes: "People who get regular exercise, eat healthfully and avoid tobacco have a lower risk of chronic diseases that lead to premature death, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and certain cancers. They also have reduced rates of disability, better mental health and cognitive function, and lower health costs. Conversely, individuals who are physically inactive are almost twice as likely to develop heart disease as active people, according to the report. Inactivity is also linked to the development of diabetes and colon cancer, and can result in loss of muscle strength and mass, which can lead to frailty and lethal falls. Yet, approximately one-third of persons age 65 or older have not engaged in any leisure-time physical activity within the past month." We are living through a revolution in medicine and biotechnology - why risk missing out on the healthy life extension medicine of the near future by damaging yourself to an early death?
Fundraising For a CR Study (July 28 2006)
The Calorie Restriction (CR) Society is raising funds for a new biomarker study: "how can you know whether your limited-calorie lifestyle really slows aging? And whether are not you are practicing calorie restriction, how will you know if supplements, exercise, amount of protein intake, hormone replacements or any other of the myriad choices that are persuasively argued for - actually accelerates aging or increases risk of cancer or other serious disease? An objective method of evaluation is vital to avoid life-shortening mistakes. That's why the Calorie Restriction Society has initiated a milestone study that will correlate human calorie restrictors' genetic expression and cell signaling indicators to clinical markers. Once these correlations are established, serious longevists will be equipped with easy-to-run clinical tests that indicate how well their regimens are working." The Society is looking for $230,000 in donations; matching grants will be posted soon.
More Electrical Tissue Engineering (July 27 2006)
If you found recent news on electrically engineered bone marrow interesting, then this piece from UPI is also good news: "damage to epithelial tissue such as skin results in strong, directional ion flow and generates an internal electrical field. Such fields are thought to guide moving cells by a process known as electrotaxis, in order to heal the wound. ... wounds may close faster or be driven open, depending on the direction of externally applied electrical signals similar in strength to those occurring naturally. The researchers also identified the genes that control electrotaxis as PI(3)Kgamma and PTEN, and propose electrical signals may be used in the future to direct cell growth during wound healing in cell and tissue engineering." Present day technology for manipulating electric fields on small scales is advanced, low-cost and reliable. This bodes well for the future of of this sort of research in tissue engineering - experimentation will be cheap, so progress will be rapid.
Tackling Age-Related Memory Loss (July 27 2006)
As scientists learn more of the biochemical mechanisms of memory, the first old-school drug pipeline products to treat the results of age-related cellular damage on these mechanisms are turning up at the door. Researchers "showed that ampakine drugs continue to reverse the effects of aging on a brain mechanism thought to underlie learning and memory even after they are no longer in the body. ... in the ampakine-treated rats, there was a significant increase in the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein known to play a key role in memory formation. They also found an increase in long-term potentiation (LTP), the process by which the connection between the brain cells is enhanced and memory is encoded. This enhancement is responsible for long-term cognitive function, higher learning and the ability to reason. With age, deficits in LTP emerge, and learning and memory loss occurs." This is very early stage research, needless to say.
A Better Alzheimer's Drug (July 26 2006)
Better biotechnology improves the quality of the old-school drug pipeline, as illustrated by this BBC article on a Alzheimer's drug: "Tests in mice have shown the drug, PBT2, prevents build up of the amyloid protein linked to the disease. Protein levels dropped by 60% within 24 hours of a single dose, and memory performance improved within five days. ... Human tests are due to start next month, followed by a major international trial next year. ... This data is compelling and very exciting because it shows that PBT2 not only may facilitate the clearance of [amyloid-beta] from the brain or prevent its production, but more importantly may improve cognition. ... Scientists still have a lot of work to do before a drug could be available for patients. Much more research is needed even to see whether preventing the amyloid build-up is really a true benefit for patients."
More On Cancer Immunity (July 26 2006)
Discover gives a brief introduction to cancer immunity in mice: "Cui bred the mouse and found that 40 percent of its offspring share a remarkable resistance to many forms of cancer. When the animals' immune systems identify a cancer cell, a genetic tweak allows their bodies to launch a massive attack of white blood cells that kills the budding tumor. ... When they inject white blood cells from any of these anticancer mice into their nonresistant brethren, the injected animals become resistant as well, fighting off induced cancer in a matter of weeks or avoiding it entirely. ... Cui has sampled a group of human volunteers and found that 10 to 15 percent have similar super cancer-fighting white blood cells. That could explain why some people never get cancer and why others' tumors spontaneously regress. Cui proposes injecting these people's white blood cells into cancer patients to see if he can transfer their immunity."
6th Alcor Conference, October 2006 (July 25 2006)
I received a professionally produced conference brochure from Alcor just today; their 6th conference later this year looks to be a very worthwhile event, headlined by an impressive cast of luminaries. This year's topic is "An Inside Look at the Science and Medicine of Tomorrow." From the Alcor website: "Is it possible to live to 1000 years of age or beyond? Will nanomedicine and medical nanorobots dramatically extend the human lifespan? Can cryopreserved organs and human beings be revived in the future? Join us and members of our community to hear distinguished speakers present their provocative insights into where we are today and what's possible tomorrow in antiaging, life extension research, nanotechnology, organ preservation, cryonics and more." Arizona is looking more and more like the place to be these days.
Interviewing Thomas Perls (July 25 2006)
The MIT Technology Review is running an interview with researcher Thomas Perls on his centenarian study and the forthcoming Long Life Family Study: "Not only do these people live long, but many of them seem to escape the disability associated with diseases of aging or to compress that disability period into a short time span very late in life. ... I think genes that modulate risk for heart disease will be very important. That's still the number-one killer, even among the very old. In addition, more and more scientific studies show that fat metabolism will play a big role. ... We previously found that centenarians were more likely to have a certain variant of the gene for microsomal transfer protein, which plays a role in packaging cholesterol. However, subsequent studies have had different results. ... That shows how important it is to confirm results in different populations and suggests that the importance of various genetic longevity factors varies from one population to another."
From Fat to Smooth Muscle (July 24 2006)
Researchers are methodically chipping away at the mysteries of cellular differentiation; the more they understand, the more they can do to realize the dream of true regenerative medicine. Via EurekAlert!: scientists "have transformed adult stem cells taken from human adipose - or fat tissue - into smooth muscle cells, which help the normal function of a multitude of organs like the intestine, bladder and arteries. ... Fat tissue may prove a reliable source of smooth muscle cells that we can use to regenerate and repair damaged organs ... Smooth muscle cells have also been produced from stem cells found in the brain and bone marrow, but acquiring stem cells from adipose tissue is much easier and most patients have adipose tissue readily available ... The next step [involves] identifying and developing the growth factors that will induce transformation of cells more quickly. [Researchers are] also starting to use smooth muscle cells for tissue engineering in the urinary tract, including the urethra."
LysoSENS Is Recruiting (July 24 2006)
As researcher John Schloendorn notes over at the Immortality Institute, the portion of the LysoSENS research program based in Tempe is actively recruiting: "We offer: the opportunity to truly make a difference and bring SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) research forward. Flexible conditions: Your responsibilities will reflect your qualifications; apply to come for weeks, months or permanently. Cutting edge working environment and a reputable entry on your CV. Research credits for a degree at Arizona State, if you are pursuing one. If elsewhere, you can probably get this work accredited, too. Enabling financial support, but no competitive salary. We want: The motivation to make personal sacrifices in order to help with curing aging and experience in molecular biology." It is good to see growth in the first SENS research project funded by Methuselah Foundation donors.

Hi, friends!
If you know me, you know that one of my most favorite things in the world is leading 2-year-olds at LifeKids on Sundays. And even though 2-year-olds get a terrible reputation, they are seriously the cutest kiddos you ever did meet. What I love the most about these little ones, though, is how much they teach me about Jesus.
My sweet little toddlers are fiercely independent, and they love figuring out how to do things for themselves. They love putting on their own socks and shoes, even though it takes them five minutes of struggling when I could help them in about five seconds. It makes you laugh sometimes, these little tiny people refusing your help. And I start to wonder…am I like this?
And most of the time, the answer is yes.
I'm fiercely independent, (which is basically a nicer way of saying that I'm exceptionally stubborn). And I can only imagine that sometimes, Jesus must laugh a little about how life would be so much easier if I would just let Him help me.
Because isn't it funny how God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth with the power to literally breathe and speak the world into being, tells us He has a plan for our lives, and yet we often reject it for our own intentions?
I've been thinking about that a lot lately because I've been a little extra stubborn these past few months. I keep demanding my desires on my deadline, refusing to simply be still and listen. I've exchanged faith for fear, and I've traded peace for anxiety.
I find comfort, though, in knowing that I'm not alone in this struggle. In fact, it reminds me a lot of the story of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
See, Sarah used to be Sarai. Sarai, like me, was a little too impatient and a little too self-reliant. She knew that God called her to have a son, but when it didn't happen on her schedule, she took matters into her own hands.
After a while of waiting and a season of doubting, Sarai suggested that Abram have a child with her servant. Then, homegirl got mad at the servant and the kid AND Abram because she got a little jealous, even though she's the one that thought it was a good idea in the first place. (The Bible gets scandalous, right??)
It's easy for me to call Sarai out for being impatient and foolish. But if I'm being honest, I can think of a thousand times I've done the same thing. I constantly try to solve my problems on my own, and then I'm frustrated when my silly solutions blow up in my face.
But then, there's God. And what I love about God is that He can turn our mistakes into ministry and our messes into mercy.
And so He did.
Genesis doesn't stop at Sarai's Sin. The real story starts there.
God changes Sarai's name to Sarah, and He changes Abram to Abraham. He promises to give them a son, who will ultimately fulfill God's covenant for all of mankind!
And even though my footnotes tell me the name change comes from some sort of lingual shift, I can't help but notice that when the "I" is removed, God's plan has room.
When we take ourselves out of the equation, we allow God to be the solution. We allow Him to work in ways that glorify Him, which ultimately offer a better outcome than we can imagine.
What I love even more, though, is that Sarah still isn't perfect. When God tells them this good news, she laughs. And honestly, if I were almost 100 years old and God told me I was about to pop out a baby, I'd probably laugh too.
But Sarah and I forget sometimes that God isn't limited at all by our ability because "Absolutely nothing is too hard for the Lord." (Genesis 18:14)
And you know what the kid's name is? Isaac. Which means "he laughs." But this time the laughter is not out of disbelief but out of delight. Delight in knowing that our God is a God who can do the impossible and deliver us from our doubts.
I find peace knowing that God helps us through our unbelief, if we are willing to ask for wisdom and faith.
Absolutely nothing is too hard for the Lord. So my challenge is to drop the "I." To drop the restless impatience and instead earnestly seek God's plan. What happens next may not be what I expect, but it will be well worth my surprise.
Here's to the waiting, friends. Here's to a God who can do much more than we give Him credit for. And here's to a life filled with unknown adventures.
Love Always,

text: Hamdallah's convoy was targeted as he was returning from Gaza on March 13 [Mohammed Salem/Reuters] An official in the Hamas-administered Gaza Strip has accused a senior intelligence officer in the Palestinian Authority (PA) of involvement in the bomb blast that targeted the West Bank-based Palestinian prime minister's convoy last month. Rami Hamdallah's motorcade - which included the PA's intelligence chief Majed Faraj - was attacked just after it crossed through the Israeli-controlled Erez checkpoint, known to Palestinians as Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza on March 13. Hamdallah and Faraj - who returned to Ramallah in the West Bank later in the day - were unharmed but seven security guards were wounded in the blast. Eyad al-Bozom, spokesman for the Hamas government's interior ministry, made the allegations at a press conference on Saturday in Gaza. He told Al Jazeera that while he does not explicitly accuse the Palestinian General Intelligence Service as an institution of involvement, elements within the department were behind the blast. "Our investigations were clear and complete. We are not accusing the Palestinian Intelligence, but in the course of our investigation we discovered that Brigadier-General Baha Balousha of the intelligence department orchestrated the attack," said Bozom. WATCH: Hamas denies role in blast targeting Palestinian PM (2:38) Balousha works as an adviser to Faraj, he said. Bozom said the interior ministry's investigation was thorough and extensive and resulted in the arrest of the main perpetrators behind the attack. He said the suspects confessed to being recruited by high-ranking Palestinian intelligence officers to plant explosives on the side of the road in an attempt to kill Hamdallah. Osama al-Qawasmi, a spokesman for Fatah, the main Palestinian faction in Ramallah where the PA operates, denied the allegations in a statement, and accused Bozom of engaging in "misleading theatrics". PA President Mahmoud Abbas has accused Hamas of orchestrating the explosion that targeted Hamdallah's convoy. "We do not want them to investigate, we do not want information from them, we do not want anything from them because we know exactly that they - the Hamas movement - were the ones who committed this incident," Abbas said at a meeting of the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah after the attack. {articleGUID} Bozom also said the suspects said they received instructions from their handlers through a "jihadist media forum" operated by "Palestinian intelligence operatives". At the press conference, the interior ministry showed video confessions purportedly of the suspects involved in the assassination attempt. Bozom said the detainees further confessed to planning attacks and assassinations - not only in Gaza but also in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. He said the same group was also behind the attempt on the life of the head of police in Gaza, General Tawfiq Abu Naeem, last October. Other targets on the suspects' hit list included an Egyptian delegation that often crosses into Gaza to facilitate Palestinian reconciliation efforts, international officials, and Hamas leaders, according to local media reports.

Moya Holdings Asia - Expansion Of Tangerang Water Supply Capacity
- Moya Holdings Asia announced that it has secured into an expansion amendment to the BOT cooperation agreement with PDAM Tangerang, to expand the water supply capacity to 2,000lps from the existing 950lps.
- The total pipe network to be installed would also increase to 1,200km, from 631km. Construction, costing SGD110m, is estimated to be completed by 2024, and water sales contributions are expected to rise gradually by 200lps pa.
- We think the outlook is bright for Moya, and maintain our BUY call with an unchanged Target Price of SGD0.15 (53% upside).
Capacity boosted to 2,000lps.
- Moya Holdings Asia (Moya) has secured an expansion amendment to the build-operate-transfer (BOT) cooperation agreement with the local water authority (PDAM) in Tangerang, Indonesia, to expand the water supply capacity to 2,000 litres/second (lps) from the existing 950lps.
- The total pipe network to be installed would also be increased to 1,200km from 631km. The cost of construction, estimated to be around SGD110m, is expected to be completed by 2024. In addition, water sales contributions are expected to increase gradually by 200lps pa, which would contribute positively to Moya's topline and bottomline.
Extension of concession to be a new catalyst.
- We understand that management is currently in talks with PDAM to extend the concession for its Aquatico assets (which has seven years remaining) to a potential 27 years. We believe an extension would greatly benefit Moya.
- We are expecting a positive outcome in the near future, and believe it would lead to a re-rating of the stock.
Consolidating the Indonesian water sector.
- In the near term, with more than SGD100m of cash on its balance sheet, we think more potential acquisitions may be likely.
- We believe Moya is likely to continue to acquire and consolidate Indonesian private water treatment players, which would further boost its earnings growth. The company may also use part of its cash hoard to lower its debt and ultimately cut its financing costs of SGD7m per quarter currently.
More acquisitions to come – maintain BUY.
- The planned expansion of capacity at two of its existing water plants (Bekasi and Tangerang) coupled with additional capex to reduce non-revenue water (NRW) over the next five years should ensure strong organic growth for Moya.
- Moya Holdings Asia is the largest water treatment player in terms of capacity, and management aims to reach 20,000lps from its existing 13,000lps capacity by 2018.This would also give it a further advantage, especially when negotiating terms over a buyout of existing smaller players.
- With further cost savings, volume expansion and the recovery of its NRW providing strong organic growth – and possibly, additional acquisitions in the pipeline to further boost NPAT – we think the outlook is bright for Moya.
- We maintain our BUY call with unchanged Target Price of SGD0.15.
- Key risk would be unfavourable changes in government regulations.

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Tinubu, on Monday evening met briefly with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. According to sources within the presidency, the agenda of the meeting was not made known.
The meeting however took place within 24 hours before the APC governorship primaries where the state governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, will fight for a return ticket to the government house in 2019. There are rumours that while Ambode has the backing of the presidency since APC does not want to loose Lagos to the opposition in 2019 elections, his political godfather, has vehemently opposed his return to office and has picked Jide Sanwo-Olu as his successor.

The need for a renewed Tamil-Hindu politics in Sri Lanka
(July 27, Kandy, Sri Lanka Guardian) This week marks the 26th anniversary of the 1983 race riots in Sri Lanka. A lot has happened since then. We need ethnic reconciliation.
Hinduism defined the Tamil identity in Sri Lankan history. The Saivite Hindu value system shaped Tamil politics before independence. This was epitomized in the careers of Arumuga Navalar, Muttucoomaraswamy, Ponnambalam Ramanathan, P. Arunachalam, Vythialingam Duraiswamy, Kandiah Vaithianathan, Swami Vipulananda, Arunachala Mahadeva, Nadesan and many others. 1850 to 1950 marked the heyday of Buddhist Hindu convergence in the Ceylonese polity.
The subsequent polarization between the Sinhalese and Tamils enabled the church to exert a disproportionate influence on Tamil civil society. Tamil Christians helped redefine Sri Lankan Tamil politics in the 1960s. The Sinhala only policies of S.W.R.D Bandaranaike provided the occasion to change track. Samuel James Velupillai Chelavanayakam and E.M.V. Naganathan co-founded the Federal Party. Both were Tamil Christians. The de-Hinduized and strident Tamil nationalism of the 1960s had become a useful tool to roll back the Buddhist revival in Sri Lanka, contain India and convert the Tamil Hindu to Christianity. Efforts were made to deny the Hindu roots of Tamil identity in Sri Lankan history.
This Tamil Christian project is exemplified in 'TamilNet', the foremost proponent of Tamil secessionism on the internet. TamilNet twice provided space this month to Samuel Ratnajeevan Herbert Hoole, a retired lecturer in Electrical Engineering and California resident. It reproduced his anti-Hindu diatribes on July 14 and on July 19. (Click) Hoole, a Christian fundamentalist, has repeatedly denigrated the Hindu religion in various fora. He does not mince words in his denunciation of Hinduism as evidenced in his publications on C.W. Thamotherampillai, his family biography and numerous newspaper articles.
Hoole used a discussion on caste in recent Tamil history to attack two icons of Tamil Hindu identity in colonial Ceylon i.e. Arumuga Navalar and Ponnambalam Ramanathan. He makes false innuendos.
I do not intend to respond to his dubious observations on caste except to mention that Christianity was responsible for unprecedented violence in its history. This included the Crusades against Islam, the Inquisition and Pogroms against Judaism (which inspired the later Holocaust), the wars of religion between Protestants and Roman Catholics, the extermination of the Inca, Maya, Aztec, native Americans and the Australian Aborigine, and the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Francis Xavier called for the wholesale destruction of Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam in Asia. Much of this had its roots in the Bible. Christianity accompanied European colonialism.
This article, however, has a different objective. It is intended to highlight the constructive role of Tamil Hinduism vis-a-vis Buddhism in the pre-independence era. This offers a dramatic contrast to the subsequent destructive ethos of a de-Hinduized Tamil politics since the 1960s.
The career of Ponnambalam Ramanathan highlights this fact. The memory of Arumuga Navalar is a revered one. He did so much for the Hindu revival and Hindu education in the 1800s. Other Tamil Hindu leaders of the 1800s and 1900s had a similar commitment to their religion and identity. This article focuses on Ramanathan to illustrate the inclusive world view of Tamil Hinduism.
Sir Ponnambalam Ramanthan was a Member of the Legislative Council of Ceylon from 1879 to 1892, Solicitor General from 1892 to 1906, a member of the Legislative Council from 1911 to 1921, and from 1924 to 1930. A Barrister by profession, he was elected by a broad coalition of Buddhists and Hindus.
Ramanathan supported the Hindu revival. He established two flagship Hindu schools in Jaffna which he envisioned as the precursor for an eventual university in Jaffna. One in fact did become the University of Jaffna in the 1970s. He brought down leading educationalists in Europe and America to teach in these schools. Ramanathan, along with many others, helped found the Hindu Board of Education that established a vibrant network of more Hindu denominational schools. The Hindu school system in colonial Ceylon helps explain the high levels of literacy in rural North Ceylon. It provided a fillip to Tamil language education.
Ramanathan worked with the colonial administration to open up lands for agriculture, invest in irrigation and provide livelihood for the impoverished Tamil peasantry. In 1928, he defended the right to vote of the Indian origin tea and rubber estate workers.
He supported the efforts of the Theosophical Society to establish Buddhist denominational schools. He worked tirelessly for Hindu Buddhist unity. He was responsible for making Vesak, the birth anniversary of the Buddha, a public holiday in colonial Ceylon. Ramanathan, like P. Arunachalam, was a scholar of Sanskrit, Pali and Tamil. He studied and commented on both Hindu and Buddhist scriptures. Henry Olcott, the co-founder of the Theosophical Society, responsible for the establishment of Buddhist schools in Sri Lanka said:
'From the time Buddhists of Ceylon began to take into their own hands the education of their youths, we have had a staunch friend and co-operator in the person of my friend Mr. Ramanathan, the Solicitor-General of Ceylon'.
The colonial administration had arrested the entire Sinhalese leadership in 1915. This was in response to the islandwide Sinhalese Muslim riots. The British authorities were harsh in their treatment of the Sinhalese community. Many were shot without trial. The entire Sinhalese leadership was imprisoned. Ramanathan traveled by sea to London in October 1915, at the height of World War I with the ever present threat of German submarines, to represent the incarcerated Sinhalese leadership. He negotiated the release of all those detained. I quote him.
'Take the Sinhalese nation. I have served the race all my life. In my twenty-eighth year I entered the Legislative Council and never once have I thought myself to be a member of the Tamil community only — I supported the Sinhalese interests and every other interest and treated every subject with the same sympathy and desire to do the best for all communities. I knew through and through the men and women of the Sinhalese community of all classes. They have all the characteristics of a great people. They are decidedly considerate and peaceful.'
Anagarika Dharmapala, the leader of the Buddhist revival, wrote to Ramanathan to express personal appreciation of his efforts. A. Ratnayake, the erstwhile President of the Senate described Sir Ponnambalam Ramanthan as the 'father of the Ceylonese renaissance'. Sir Baron Jayatilaka, the head of the cabinet in the State Council, called him 'the greatest man Ceylon had produced in the past 50 years'. D.S. Senanayake, the first Prime Minister of independent Sri Lanka, hailed Ponnambalam as 'the greatest Ceylonese of all times'.
It is important that we Tamil Hindus revive the legacy of Sir Ponnambalam Ramanthan and other Tamil Hindu leaders in the pre-independence era. This is needed to roll back the destructive ideology of Tamil secessionism. The politics of Tamil secessionism, be it by the Federal Party of the 1960s or the LTTE in the last 25 years was based on a hatred of Buddhism. It took us no where! The Tamil Hindus need to revert to the inclusive politics of the pre-independence era. Its time to revive the legacy of Hindu Buddhist concord. That alone would ensure our future.
An enlightened Sinhalese leadership should likewise reach out to us. A good first step would be to allow all IDPs to return to their lands and villages in the Vanni. That would provide a much needed fillip for Buddhist Hindu reconciliation.

Europe vs US: A whole new ball game?
Europe vs US: A whole new ball game?
With speculation mounting that US President Trump might launch a trade war with the EU, Henley Investment Centre's European Equities Team looks at what that could look like, and explains why they believe this is materially different to the US-China situation.
Many had thought that the US-China trade negotiations were largely wrapped up. That is until Donald Trump tweeted on 5th May that a tariff rise was back on the cards. Following the news, stock markets across the globe tumbled as fears of a full-blown trade war between the world's two largest economies were rekindled.
Speculation has been mounting that once President Trump concludes trade negotiations with China, Europe will be next on his agenda. Below, we look at what a potential US-EU trade war could look like and explain why we believe this is materially different to the US-China situation.
US vs EU: Even playing field?
Firstly, it is worth noting that trade between the US and the EU forms the largest bilateral trade flow in the world, with US exports to and imports from the EU in 2018 estimated at $570bn and $670bn respectively. To put this into perspective, US exports to China are worth about 0.5% of US GDP, while US exports to the EU are worth about 1.55% of US GDP. As a result, reciprocal action taken by the EU to sanctions imposed by the US has the potential for wider impact than action taken by China – arguably up to 3x as much.
Figure 1
Source: Credit Suisse, Thomson Reuters Datastream, as at 31st Dec 2018
Secondly, there is weaker US political support for a trade war with the EU. 'China bashing' in the US has long been a vote winner for both Democrats and Republicans, whilst a trade war with the EU is unlikely to garner the same political support. Given many European companies are employers of US workers, some of whom operate in key pro-Trump states (e.g. BMW in South Carolina and Daimler in Alabama), it would be a very risky strategy for Trump to potentially put jobs (and votes) on the line in order to engage in a trade war with the EU, especially as he gears up for a 2020 re-election bid.
What goods will be targeted by the US?
The US trade deficit with the EU is about 0.8% of US GDP for all goods, considerably less than China's 2%. However, a closer look indicates the largest trade imbalance occurs in one area: the auto sector. Auto-related goods (cars, parts, tyres) are approximately 15% of the EU's exports into the US, and only 5% of US's exports into the EU. In 2018 alone, this imbalance was roughly equivalent to $45bn dollars in favour of the EU. This is where US leverage is the greatest, and in our opinion, would be Trump's likely target.
Figure 2
Source: Credit Suisse, Thomson Reuters Datastream, as at 15th Nov 2018
How can the EU respond?
We already have some idea of the type of reciprocal actions the EU would take against further tariffs imposed by the US. Last year, following Trump's steel and aluminium tariffs, the EU published a comprehensive list of goods where tariffs would be introduced or increased. Targeted US products include Harley-Davidson motorcycles, agricultural goods, bourbon, blue jeans, steel and aluminium. The EU response to the sanctions imposed by Trump appears to be highly strategic, targeting products from swing-states and, in effect, taking direct aim at Trump and his re-election campaign. An escalation in tariffs by the US will likely see the EU amplify their own efforts accordingly.
Where does this leave us today?
Whilst the issue will continue to hang over investors' heads until there is a formal conclusion, a trade war similar to what we are witnessing between the US and China seems unlikely. Furthermore, the timing alone means that an easing of rhetoric is likely as Trump prepares for a second-term campaign. Nevertheless, in a world of Trump, we believe there is plenty of scope for a barrage of tweeting to cause some market volatility in the short-term.
