Can Pope Francis's friendly, accessible style survive the Middle East?
Three right-wing activists held on suspicion of involvement in hate crimes
The Israel Police and the Shin Bet fear that right-wing extremists might exploit Pope Francis' visit to the Holy Land on May 24-26 to carry out a major hate crime to drum up media attention.
The security services estimate that the hate crime would target the Christian population in Israel or Christian sites across the country.
The various police districts were instructed by authorities to focus their operational and intelligence efforts on the Christian population and its institutions, and to consolidate extra security in these communities until the end of the visit.
The police was also asked to increase its security assessments of the right-wing extremists in their various districts, with particular emphasis on holy sites.
The Roman Catholic Church in Jerusalem, preparing for the visit, has expressed alarm over threats to Christians scrawled by suspected Jewish extremists on church property in the Holy Land.
In an incident Monday, "Death to Arabs and Christians and all those who hate Israel" was daubed in Hebrew on an outer column of the Office of the Assembly of Bishops at the Notre Dame Center in East Jerusalem.
"The wave of fanaticism and intimation against Christians continues," the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem posted on its website, referring to so-called "price tag" incidents.
"Mere coincidence?" the patriarchate statement asked. "The Notre Dame Center is property of the Holy See and this provocation comes two weeks before Pope Francis' visit to the Holy Land and Jerusalem."
The bishops' statement added that "it was very concerned about the lack of security" for Christian property and what they called the "lack of responsiveness from the political sector" after earlier attacks. They feared "an escalation of violence."
In recent years, hate attacks have targeted mosques, Palestinian homes and Christian monasteries in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, areas Israel captured in a 1967 war and Palestinians seek as part of a future state.
"Price tagging" - a reference by far-right Jews to making the government "pay" for any curbs on Israeli settlements in the West Bank - has also occurred in Israeli military installations in the West Bank and Arab villages in Israel.
The Patriarchate said the heads of churches in the Holy Land are preparing "a series of actions aimed at informing local and international public opinion, and to make the authorities and law officials aware of their responsibilities."
Pope Francis is due to visit Israel, Jordan, the West Bank and Jerusalem, where he will meet Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, spiritual leader of the world's Orthodox Christians.
The pontiff, who like his predecessors John Paul and Benedict has friendly ties with Jewish religious leaders, is due to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Notre Dame Center, located just outside the walls of the old city.
Israel boosts investigation into hate crimes
Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon has described these hate crimes as terrorism and pledged to step up efforts to curb them. Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch and Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said Wednesday they would ask the cabinet to classify groups behind "price tag" attacks as terrorist organisations, opening the way for the possible use of detention without trial against members.
The Israel Police has also decided, meanwhile, that the investigation of the more serious hate crimes, such as the arson attack on a mosque in the town of Fureidis and similar incidents in the West Bank, should stay under the responsibility of the unit currently in charge of looking into crimes with nationalist motives, based in the Judea and Samaria district.
Both the police and the Shin Bet have identified a direct link between a number of the incidents both within and outside of the Green Line.
The perpetrators of the crimes in the Galilee village of Jish, and in the towns of Fureidis and Umm al-Fahm, are known rightists from the West Bank, apparently moving their operations from the West Bank inside the Green Line.
The Judea and Samaria unit, which is most familiar with the suspects, will handle the larger investigations – carried out by known extremists - even those that take place in other districts.
Crimes perpetrated by unorganized groups or individuals, such as the recent attacks in Yokne'am, will still be dealt with by local district polices.
The frequency of "price tag" attacks - 14 have been reported this year - has risen sharply over the past month since the Israeli military demolished structures in a West Bank settlement built without government authorisation.
Despite dozens of arrests over the past year of suspected "price-taggers," there have been few convictions. Police say there are only a few score culprits, many known by name, but about half of them are minors to whom courts show leniency.

Royal Blue Mersey roundtable: Everton's next captain
The RBM crew talk about who should lead the Blues out on the pitch

Share All sharing options for: Royal Blue Mersey roundtable: Everton's next captain

With the new season upcoming, the crew here at Royal Blue Mersey gathered their thoughts on who should be the captain of Everton. Veteran Phil Jagielka is still at the club, while talisman Wayne Rooney has come back to the fold now. Gareth Barry and Leighton Baines are venerable veterans too while Seamus Coleman is a national team captain but is out injured for a few more months. Davy Klaassen was the Ajax captain while Ashley Williams was Swansea skipper and still is for Wales too.
Who should be the next Everton captain? Why? Who should also be in the running? Why?
Brian -
The obvious answer is Baines, but I don't think he wants it or has the personality for it. I'd go with Barry for now, assuming Jagielka leaves. But failing that I think I'd give it to Coleman. Yes he's injured, but that is temporary.
Adam -
Coleman is among the longest tenured players at Everton, still has several good years ahead of him, and has proven to be a leader via his captaincy of the Irish national team. He is an ideal choice for next Everton captain.
Baines, another long-tenured Toffee, would be a decent choice as well, but he has less leadership experience and fewer days as a starter in front of him. New arrival Klaassen was captain at Ajax, and looks to be a foundational building block for the club going forward, but needs a little more time to learn what it means to be an Evertonian.

Zach -
I've got Baines pegged for this year's Captain. Baines is someone who will be on the pitch on a regular basis and his leadership traits are obvious. He has a long time of service at the club and the respect of the locker room.
Rooney should be in the running because he is the biggest legend currently playing in English football and the respect he garners is unquestioned. I would prefer him as a vice captain though. Coleman should be in the running at some point but it's probably a bit premature now. Perhaps he would be a good option for a second vice Captain. There are others I could name because Everton has some of the best locker room leadership anywhere around, but those three would be my top options.
Mike -
Coleman or Baines for me. Lots of blood, sweat, and tears in blue. And we haven't signed anyone to replace either of those positions, so they'll likely be on the field a lot. Morgan Schneiderlin is a dark horse candidate.
Tyler -
I have felt for a while now that Coleman deserves to be the Everton captain. When healthy, he is one of the best right backs in the league. He shows more passion than anyone else in the team. And he's earned rave reviews for the way he has performed in the role for Ireland. No doubt in my mind that he would be able to lead the Toffees and garner the respect of everyone in the locker room.
Some other contenders, in the short term, could be Rooney, Williams or Schneiderlin. The Rooney reasoning is obvious. Williams is the Wales captain and a steady contributor at the club. And Schneiderlin may be the best player at Everton. Ask again in a couple of years, and it wouldn't surprise me to see Jordan Pickford or Michael Keane to get the armband.
Sean -
If you had asked me the question earlier this year, the choice was an obvious one - Coleman. However, Rooney's return has muddied the waters. Personally, I think it should go to Rooney given the experience he has and I don't think Seamus would be put out at all, he's that type of personality.
Worth mentioning that I don't think it will change, even if Jagielka is not seen as the ideal fit for the role.
Tom -
Rooney is the obvious contender for the Everton captaincy should Jagielka move on. His vast experience, knowledge and influence make him the natural fit for the role. He already appears to have had a positive impact on his teammates, particularly the young players. The only issue would be if he struggles to get into the team regularly. If that's the case then Williams or Baines would be able deputies, with Coleman the long-term option once he has fully recovered from his injury.
Calvin -
Jagielka might not be right man for the job any more, especially because of the changes in the team, and the insecurity of his spot in the side. The same goes for Barry.
Coleman might be the correct long-term choice, but by the time he gets back to this side with all the new faces, the dynamic could be interesting. In the meantime though, this is Rooney's team, he'll be on the pitch a lot and should wear the armband.
Let's hear your thoughts below on who should be captain, and don't forget to vote too.
Who should be the Everton captain for 2017-18?

Psychology > Developmental Psychology > Human Diversity > Hate Crimes
Crimes against people and property can be motivated by many different things, including greed, anger, and a desire for revenge. The subset of crimes known as hate crimes are those unlawful acts that are motivated by prejudice against a group that the victim is believed to belong to or identify with. U.S. law classifies crimes based on bias against a victim's perceived race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and ethnicity or national origin as hate crimes. Some states have also added gender to the groups that can be classified as victims of hate crimes.
Victims of hate crimes are not limited to individuals. Businesses, institutions (such as a church or a mosque), communities, or even society as a whole can be a victim of a hate crime. Likewise, there is a range of offenses that are perpetrated against hate crime victims. Crimes against persons include intimidation, aggravated assault, rape, and murder. Crimes against property include vandalism, arson, theft, and robbery. Although offensive to many, certain types of hate-based behaviors are protected by U.S. law. Actions such as the creation of hate literature or the public expression of hateful speech are allowed until they cross over into making direct threats against identifiable people, organizations, or institutions.
Prevalence Rates
Since 1991, incidences of hate crimes in the United States have been compiled on a yearly basis by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). For the year of 2002, law enforcement agencies recorded 7,462 hate crime incidents. Racial bias was the motivator for most of these offenses. Table 1 provides a breakdown of the type of bias for all reported incidents.
Hate crime offenses are more than twice as likely to be crimes against persons as crimes against property. Table 2 provides a breakdown of the type of offense for all reported hate crimes in 2002.
Many experts agree that these figures underestimate the actual number of bias-motivated crimes. The FBI relies on reports from local law enforcement to compile the national hate crime statistics. Inconsistencies in reporting or nonparticipation may artificially decrease the totals. By their very nature, hate crimes are designed to intimidate and may keep the victim from reporting the attack to authorities. There is evidence that victims of nonbias crimes are twice as likely as victims of hate crimes to report their victimization.
Table 1 Types of Bias for Reported Hate Crimes
Perpetrators
It is a common perception that perpetrators of hate crimes are members of organized hate groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. In reality, only about 5% of known offenders are members of such groups. Most attackers are otherwise law-abiding citizens.
The most vicious hate crimes do tend to be committed by people with a history of antisocial behavior and ties to organized hate groups. For these individuals, prejudice and hate are the major focus of their lives, and they are actively involved in recruiting and indoctrinating new members. Although this group represents a small minority of actual perpetrators, organized hate groups facilitate wider disturbance by providing information and encouragement to anyone who wants it.
Most perpetrators are so-called dabblers, for whom hateful behavior is a part-time affair. These people do hold prejudiced beliefs that they express through behavior but typically keep these hidden in areas of their lives. For example, at work, they may keep their beliefs to themselves but on the weekends get together with like-minded friends to harass people who they perceive as being different.
Young people represent a significant number of hate crime offenders. Of known hate crime perpetrators, 33% are younger than 18, and 29% are between the ages of 18 and 24. The high rate of teenage and young adult participation in these crimes is one reason why most intervention and prevention programs are school based.
Two other groups of people are not active perpetrators of hate crimes but do encourage an atmosphere in which such actions can take place. Although they may never act on their beliefs, sympathizers agree with the ideology of perpetrators. Sympathizers typically express their beliefs only at the verbal level, but these acts show support for more serious hate acts. Furthermore, sympathizers are unlikely to cooperate with efforts to stop hate crimes. The second group of people who help facilitate a hate-accepting environment are spectators. These are people who may disagree with prejudiced speech or behavior but are unwilling to stop it. Others may view their silence as approval and so draw encouragement from spectators.
Table 2 Types of Offenses for Reported Hate Crimes, 2002
Hate crimes are certainly designed to hurt or intimidate the victim but are also meant to send a message to the victim's community: you are not welcome here. Such crimes share a basis of negative beliefs about groups of people who are perceived to be different in a significant way. But what motivates individuals to act on these prejudices varies. Hate crime perpetrators can generally be divided into four main categories of motivation: ideology, thrill, defense, or peer dynamics.
Ideology perpetrators draw strongly on their bigotry for motivation. They have a very rigid view of the world and believe themselves to be maintaining or restoring social order and morals. An ideology offender may believe, for example, that interracial relationships are wrong and threaten the morals of society. By drawing on perceived support in the community, the offender may attack a person who is part of an interracial couple to enforce these beliefs.
The main motivations of thrill seekers are to experience excitement and power. These assailants are usually young people, often groups of teenage boys, who crave respect and attention. They themselves are marginalized in some way, be it economic, educational, or social. For thrill seekers, hate crimes bring excitement to otherwise idle time and give them a sense of importance and strength by putting others down.
Defense-motivated crimes occur when the offender feels threatened by a hated group. For example, an African American family may be targeted after they move into an all-white neighborhood, or a male assailant may attack a gay man because he feared that the man would make sexual advances toward him.
Peer Dynamics
Individuals who are motivated by peer dynamics participate in hate crimes to gain respect from friends. These people are searching for acceptance and engage in hate crime primarily as a means to please others and prove their toughness.
Hate is learned. Whether through direct teachings of parents or subtle attitudes of society, individuals encounter messages of intolerance from the outside environment. The ideal way of preventing hate crime is to prevent the development of prejudice. A common factor among people who have resisted participation in hate activities, such as individuals who helped Jews escape Nazi Germany, is the existence of a role model who respected diversity.
A secondary solution is to alter those prejudiced beliefs that have already developed. The major way to change misconceptions about others is through purposeful exposure. Whereas simple contact between groups may encourage stereotypes and lead to bias crimes, cooperation between people is related to a decrease in negative attitudes. By working cooperatively with others, individuals gather information that challenges their previous beliefs. They also begin to see similarities between themselves and people they used to see as being very different. After one's attitudes are changed about a specific person, those positive feelings generalize to the group to which that person belongs. U.S. organizations such as Partners Against Hate, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Anti-Defamation League have developed numerous educational materials that teach accurate knowledge about different groups and facilitate interaction and understanding between peoples.
Because we have not yet reached the ideal of completely preventing the development of hate, programs that resolve intergroup conflict are needed. The Community Relations Service of the U.S. Department of Justice is an organization that provides information and free mediation services to communities that have experienced a hate incident or conflicts between people based on differences in race, ethnicity, or national origin.
Hate crimes are based on learned attitudes of prejudice against groups that are perceived to be different. Perpetrators of these crimes are typically otherwise ordinary citizens who use their hate to gain power, thrill, or acceptance. Prevention of hate crimes begins with developing attitudes of tolerance and acceptance instead of prejudice and discrimination.

Juventus set to hire Andrea Pirlo to replace Maurizio Sarri
The Juve legend has been managing their under-23s for a week
Andrea Pirlo is set to be named as the new Juventus manager, replacing Maurizio Sarri who was sacked on Saturday following their Champions League elimination at the hands of Lyon.
Pirlo, a club legend who won four Serie A titles over a four-season spell at the club, was only appointed manager of their under-23 team last week, but has reportedly been chosen as Sarri's replacement.
According to Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Pirlo was chosen by president Andrea Agnelli ahead of the likes of Mauricio Pochettino, Simone Inzaghi and former coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Andrea Pirlo is going to be the new Juventus manager. He has been choosen by the president Andrea Agnelli. Last details to be completed... and here we go ⚪⚫ @SkySport @DiMarzio #Juventus
— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) August 8, 2020
Pirlo completed his UEFA Pro Licence last summer, and one July 30 was named manager of the club's under-23 team, which competes in Serie C.
If the appointment goes ahead, it will represent something of a risk for Juventus, off the back of Sarri's appointment, which from the off raised eyebrows.
Many questioned whether Sarri, who at the time had only won a Europa League during his managerial career, would be able to get the team playing his style of football while also making the most out of Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the end, it was Sarri's failure to do so, compounded by his failure to progress in the Champions League which saw him relieved of his duties.

sulfur fixation.α
Jarosite residues, which are generated in a zinc production plant by a hydrometallurgical process, contain a large amount of valuable metal components. In this study, a method was proposed for the recovery of lead, zinc and iron from the residues and simultaneous sulfur fixation through direct reduction followed by magnetic separation. The influences of the roasting temperature, roasting time and the concentration of SO2 gas in the direct reduction process were researched in detail. Results showed that the volatilization rates of lead, zinc and sulfur were 96.97%, 99.89% and 1.09%, respectively, and the iron metallization rate was 91.97% under optimal reduction conditions; roasting temperature 1523 K for 60 min. The magnetic concentrate with the iron content of 90.59% and recovery rate of 50.87% was obtained from the optimal reduction product by grinding and magnetic separation. The optimum fineness for separation 96.56% less than 37 μm accounted with magnetic field strength 24 kA/m. The theoretical analysis was carried out by thermodynamics, X-ray powder diffraction, gas analysis and scanning electron microscopy.

Market Update 31 July 2020
Investment markets and key developments over the past week
Global share markets were mixed over the last week, with Chinese shares up 4.2% and US shares up 1.7% on the back of good earnings results, particularly for technology stocks, but eurozone shares fell 3.6% and Japanese shares fell 4.6% on uncertainty regarding the economic outlook. Australian shares fell 1.6% for the week thanks to a sharp fall on Friday on the back of concerns that the lockdown in Melbourne will be intensified and extended. Despite the fall, the ASX 200 still rose 0.5% in July. Bond yields generally fell again over the week, with US bond yields hitting a record low. Oil prices fell, but metals and iron ore rose and gold made it to a new record high, as the US dollar fell further. The falling US$ also saw the A$ rise briefly above $US0.72.
The rising trend in new coronavirus cases globally still shows no let up. This is primarily driven by emerging countries, with developed countries showing some signs of stabilisation over the last few weeks.
Source: ourworldindata.org, AMP Capital
The stabilisation in new cases in developed countries reflects some slowing in the US – notably in southern and western states, suggesting that the return of some restrictions and the mandated use of masks in many states may be working.
The US is also seeing hospitalisations roll over and the fatality rate is around 1.5%, compared to around 7% during the first wave in April. This is consistent with a greater skew in new cases towards younger people, better protection for older people and better treatments. Further, it adds to confidence that a generalised lockdown will be avoided.
Against this, Europe is seeing new cases edge up again, as is Canada; and Japan has seen a big rise. Even China has seen a pick-up in new cases (albeit it remains very low).
All of this highlights how hard it is to contain the coronavirus, as well as the importance of maintaining social distancing.
Unfortunately, Victoria in Australia, is also still struggling to put a lid on new cases, which are showing a continuing uptrend. So far so good in NSW, although the 7-day rolling average case count is trending up and the risk of a break higher is significant.

Meanwhile, June quarter GDP data for the US and the eurozone confirmed a huge hit from coronavirus shutdowns. US GDP plunged 9.5% quarter on quarter (or by -32.9% annualised) and eurozone GDP fell 12.1% quarter on quarter, with the falls being broad based.
Naturally for the US, (and Australia, as it too will also report a big fall when June quarter GDP data is released in a month) this is seeing comparisons to the Great Depression come up again – but there are big differences: First, there was no period of prior excess like the "roaring twenties" that needs to be unwound; second, the current slump was brought on by government decisions to lockdown society as opposed to being a cyclical economic downturn that has to run its course; and thirdly, the current period has seen rapid and massive monetary and fiscal stimulus, whereas the 1930s initially saw the opposite. All of which should mean a faster recovery once the virus is controlled. While terrible, the US and Eurozone June quarter GDP slump was also largely as expected back in late March/early April, so is already factored into our global and Australian GDP forecasts. Furthermore, this is old news, to the extent that the low was probably in April and since then economic activity has started to recover with "reopening". The bad news is that the recovery will likely be slow after the initial bounce and its threatened by ongoing surges in coronavirus cases. This is evident in a rise in jobless claims in the US over the last two weeks.
The resurgence in new cases, the reversal of reopenings and the associated negative headlines are continuing to impact our weekly Economic Activity Trackers for the US and Australia, but so far it's just seen the recovery stall since the second half of June, as opposed to collapse. These activity trackers are based on high frequency data for things like restaurant bookings, confidence, retail foot traffic, box office takings, hotel bookings, credit card data, mobility indexes and jobs data. Our Australian Economic Activity Tracker fell back again over the last week, reflecting weakness in consumer confidence, restaurants, job ads, credit card data, mobility, hotel bookings and retail traffic. Victoria appears to be the main driver of the weakness.

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) remained in a dovish, "whatever it takes" mode over the last week. While it left monetary policy on hold as expected, the clear message from Chair Powell is that the Fed is ready to stay accommodative for a very long time. Meanwhile, the Fed's policy review is likely to be complete by September and is expected to see a move to a 2% inflation averaging strategy, which will imply a desire to overshoot the target after a period of undershooting. The Fed is also likely to move to outcome based forward guidance and more definitive quantitative easing (QE). All of which are very dovish.
Will rating agency Fitch's move to put the US's AAA credit rating on "negative" outlook have much impact? It may cause some consternation, but it's unlikely to stop another big stimulus package in the US; and as we saw following S&P's 2011 downgrade to the country's credit rating (from AAA to AA+), US bond yields actually rallied on the news and it had no impact on America's ability to borrow. It borrows in US dollars and despite the further surge in the budget deficit and debt this year, bond yields are now at record lows.
Should we worry about the rise in the gold price to a record high signalling some sort of flight to safety that we should all jump on to? Our short answer is no. The rise of gold partly reflects a desire by some for a hedge against quantitative easing causing a surge in inflation and a collapse in the real value of paper currencies. However it also reflects an emerging cyclical decline in the value of the US dollar versus other currencies (which is normally a good thing because it means that safe haven demand for it is falling and global reflation may be working) and a collapse in interest rates, which makes it cheaper to hold gold but also makes it cheaper to hold other assets. Furthermore, just as gold has gone up, so have other commodities; with oil having more than doubled since April and metal prices up nearly 30% from March lows. Again, this is normally a positive sign for global growth. Finally, while I think there is probably more upside for the gold price (albeit not in a straight line), it should be noted that it produces no income, is highly volatile and someone who bought into gold the last time everyone got excited back in 2011 has only now just broken into profit ,after suffering a near 50% plunge in value into 2015 - so it's not always a safe haven. Of course, back then, the much-feared surge in inflation on the back of post GFC QE failed to eventuate; and it may take a while to eventuate in the years ahead as well, given such high levels of unemployment.
Is President Trump setting up a challenge to the election result if it goes against him and is close? For a while now he has been claiming that mail in voting leads to fraud and he has now suggested that the election should be postponed due to the pandemic. While he does not have the authority to postpone the election – that's with Congress and both Republicans and Democrats have said no – he may be laying the ground for a challenge to the result if it goes against him. If so, this could make the 2000 election controversy look like a non-event. Trump's comments on this may suggest he is not feeling that confident about the election – although out of interest, his approval has gone up a bit in the last few weeks.

The negatives for shares remain: rising new coronavirus cases, the pausing or reversal of reopening, very high unemployment, the hit to earnings, the US election, US/China tensions and we are now in a seasonally weak period of the year for shares. These factors however are arguably more than offset by a long list of positives, including continuing good news on coronavirus treatments and vaccines, the second wave in the US being less deadly than the first, several countries showing that it is possible to contain the virus, China tracing out a 'Deep V' recovery, the safe haven US$ is falling (which is normally a positive sign), monetary and fiscal policy remaining ultra-easy, low interest rates and bond yields that make shares look cheap and a lot of cash on the sidelines. We believe Shares are still vulnerable to further volatility, with renewed lockdowns and US/China tensions being the main risks, but the positives should keep any volatility to being a correction in a still-rising trend.

Major global economic events and implications
US June quarter GDP data showed a -9.5% hit to GDP (or -32.9% annualised). Thanks to the earlier than expected reopening, it was not quite as bad as had been expected several months ago and based on our US Economic Activity Tracker, the low point was probably in April, so it's also rather old news. More current US data was generally better, with strong gains in durable goods orders, personal spending and pending home sales in June and a further recovery in several regional manufacturing indexes for July, but flat house prices in May. However, a fall back in consumer confidence in July and a second weakly rise in jobless claims highlights that the resurgence in coronavirus is threatening the recovery. Meanwhile, although the personal saving rate remains high, at 19%, personal income is set to fall sharply if income support measures, which expired at the end of July, are not extended.
So far, 62% of US S&P 500 companies have reported June quarter earnings and results have remained better than expected, with a bigger than average 85% of companies beating on earnings by an average of 22.2% and 66% beating on sales. This has seen upwards revision to consensus earnings expectations, with earnings now expected to be -34% year-on-year in the June quarter, compared to -44% a few weeks ago.

Eurozone June quarter GDP fell 12.1% in the June quarter, which was in line with the consensus, while eurozone unemployment rose to 7.8% in June. Against this, the German IFO business conditions index rose further in July, as did eurozone economic sentiment, pointing to a strong initial rebound in growth. Bank lending to corporates was strong, albeit it was soft to households. Core inflation ticked up to 1.2% year-on-year in July, but is likely to fall back in August.
Japanese retail sales rebounded sharply in June, industrial production rose more than expected and unemployment fell slightly. However, the ratio of job openings to applications fell to the lowest since 2014 and the resurgence of coronavirus cases this month in Japan will weigh.
Chinese business conditions PMIs remained solid in July, with the composite PMI falling just 0.1pt to 54.1, suggesting that the economic recovery is continuing.
Australian economic events and implications
Australia saw its biggest quarterly bout of deflation in the 72-year history of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and its biggest annual decline since 1997 – expect a rebound in the current quarter but underlying inflation is likely to remain weak. The 1.9% plunge in the CPI was basically due to government decisions to provide childcare, pre-school (in some states) and before and after-school care for free, as well as a plunge in petrol prices. With free childcare having ended and petrol prices back up, the CPI is expected to rebound this quarter (probably by around 1.5% quarter-on-quarter). So, it's best to focus on underlying inflation, as it excludes the volatile, often government related, moves in some components. Underlying inflation fell to just 1.25% year on year, which is its lowest on record and reflects the plunge in demand in the economy and huge amounts of spare capacity. With spare capacity likely to be with us for some time to come, expect underlying inflation and the trend in headline inflation to remain weak, notwithstanding volatility driven by government decisions and changes in petrol prices.

Australian economic data was on the soft side, with payroll jobs falling over the three weeks to mid-July, particularly in Victoria (although this data has a tendency to get revised up), the terms of trade falling slightly in the June quarter (although this was after a huge surge in the March quarter), private sector credit contracting further in June and home building approvals plunging again. Fortunately, approvals for alternations and non-residential building rose and the HomeBuilder scheme, along with increased stamp duty concessions for first home buyers of new property, should provide some support for home building. Meanwhile, the July ABS Business Impacts of COVID survey found 42% were receiving some form of government assistance, but more businesses expect to raise headcount rather than cut it.
What to watch over the next week?
Trends in new coronavirus cases along with pressure on medical systems will continue to be watched closely, particularly in the US and Victoria.
In the US, jobs data (due Friday) will be the focus, with market expectations for the return of another 1.6 million payrolls jobs and unemployment to fall to 10.5%, but a renewed weakness in jobless claims on the back of the resurgence in coronavirus cases raising the risk of disappointment. In terms of other data, expect the July manufacturing conditions ISM (Monday) to show a further improvement to 53.5 consistent with regional manufacturing surveys and the non-manufacturing conditions ISM (Wednesday) to fall back slightly to 55. US June quarter earnings results will continue to flow. On the policy front, the key will be whether Congress passes a new stimulus package to extend or replace now lapsed income support.
In China, the Caixin manufacturing PMI (Monday) is expected to hold around 51.2 and trade data (Friday) is expected to show a further recovery in import growth, but softness in exports.
In Australia, the Reserve Bank (RBA) is expected to leave monetary policy on hold for the fifth month in a row on Tuesday and will release its quarterly Statement on Monetary Policy on Friday. Having provided massive monetary stimulus back in March, the RBA is still in "watch and wait" mode, and the policy focus now remains largely on fiscal policy. The RBA is unlikely to make any major changes to its economic growth forecasts, but it may lower its underlying inflation forecasts (given June quarter underlying inflation came in lower than it expected) and it will continue to emphasise the uncertainty surrounding the outlook. Its views on the further rise in the value of the Australian dollar will also be watched, although it's unlikely to be too concerned as it's still around fair value and its rise is consistent with higher commodity prices. Against this backdrop, and given the risks flowing from Melbourne's renewed lockdown, the RBA is likely to reiterate its dovish forward guidance on rates and note that it stands ready to do more if needed. In terms of what it might do if it does ease further in the months ahead, it has all but ruled out negative interest rates, foreign exchange intervention and the direct monetary financing of government spending, but sees still lower (but positive) interest rates and the purchase of more government bonds as possible options. A rate cut to 0.1% would hardly be worth the effort, which leaves more QE as the main tool for any further easing. Meanwhile, rate hikes are at least three years away.
On the data front in Australia, expect CoreLogic home price data for July (Monday) to show a further -0.8% decline in average dwelling prices, June retail sales to show a 2.4% gain (consistent with preliminary data already released) resulting in a -3.3% decline in real June quarter retail sales and the trade surplus for June to remain strong, at around $8 billion (all due Tuesday) and June housing finance data (Wednesday) to show a 2% rise after a huge fall in May.
The Australian June-half profit reporting season will also get underway, but with only a handful of companies due to report including Resmed (Thursday), IAG, News Corp and REA (Friday). It's going to be the worst reporting season in years, with consensus expectations for a ~21% slump in earnings due to the hit from COVID-19, which will be the biggest since the GFC. Financials will likely be the hardest hit, with an expected ~28% slump in earnings led by insurers and the banks, followed by industrials with a ~15% fall in earnings and resources with ~13%. Healthcare may be the only sector to see a rise in earnings (and even that's iffy).
Outlook for investment markets
After a strong rally from March lows, shares remain vulnerable to short term setbacks given uncertainties around the coronavirus, economic recovery and US/China tensions. However, on a 6 to 12-month horizon, shares may see good total returns, helped by a pick-up in economic activity and policy stimulus.
Low starting-point yields are likely to result in low returns from bonds once the dust settles from the coronavirus.
Unlisted commercial property and infrastructure are ultimately likely to continue benefitting from a resumption of the search for yield, but the hit to economic activity and hence rents from the virus will likely weigh heavily on near term returns.
Australian home prices are falling and higher unemployment, a stop to immigration and rent holidays will pressure prices lower into next year. Home prices are expected to fall by around 5 to 10% into next year from this year's highs, with the risk of bigger falls if the renewed rise in coronavirus cases leads to a renewed generalised lockdown. Melbourne is particularly at risk on this front, as its renewed lockdown pushes more businesses and households to the brink.
Cash and bank deposits are likely to provide very poor returns, given the ultra-low cash rate of just 0.25%.
Although the Australian dollar is vulnerable to bouts of uncertainty about coronavirus, the economic recovery and US/China tensions, a continuing rising trend is likely - particularly with the US expanding its money supply far more than Australia is via quantitative easing and with China's earlier recovery supporting demand for Australian raw materials (assuming political tensions between Australia and China are kept to a minimum).

10BASE5 (med alternativa beteckningar som thick ethernet eller thicknet) var den första kommersiellt tillgängliga varianten av Ethernet IEEE 802.3 som introducerades år 1983. 10BASE5 använder en tjock och stum koaxialkabel i segment på max 500 meter för att bygga upp ett lokalt datornät. Kabeln är oftast gul. Upp till 100 stationer kan anslutas till en och samma 500-meters kabel med så kallade vampyrkontakter som skruvas in i kabeln. Alla stationer ingår i samma kollisionsdomän och bandbredden är 10 Mbit/s som delas mellan alla enheter.

10BASE5 ersattes snart av billigare och effektivare standarder. Den smalare och flexiblare 10BASE2-kabeln, och senare 10BASE-T.

It's Never Too Late to Look Great!
It's Never Too Late to Look Great! does something the fashion industry is frightened to do. It shows how women over 50 - and beyond - don't have to be invisible when their faces and figures are less than perfect. This style guide shows how to dress with panache, and open the door to a world of new opportunities, confidence and happiness.
If you've ever seen some grey hairs in the mirror and said, 'I don't know what to wear any more', this is the book for you. Maggie identifies the four qualities that make style: Surprise, True to yourself, Artistry and Reinvention. Follow these and you will become a style S.T.A.R.
Older women are now fitter and more active than ever. Many of them want to keep looking stylish, but find themselves ignored by a fashion industry whose public image is often a pouting, skinny 20-year old. Maggie Cox's book is for them. It shows that fun begins at 50 and can last as long as you want it to.
I downloaded this book because of the title and her opening statement about the "Over 50 set being ignored in the fashion industry" which piqued my interest right way. As the book continues, her statements about looking in the mirror, REALLY looking in the mirror to see who you are now, what is your personality at this stage in your life and then dressing accordingly were the perfect encouragement. The step by step system on how to do this were realistic and definitely doable even at the local boutique. The STAR (Surprise/True to Yourselt/Artisty/Reinvention) steps really spoke to me and made me feel brave enough to actually try and go shopping again using this new formula.. Actually, the formula could be used for all ages and not just the over 50 set.
If I have any criticism of the book, it is that the pictures were all of "skinny" women, however, the sites and links she recommends in the book have true to life women with some wonderful ideas for fashion. This is a book I wish the clothes buyers at the malls would read and realize that the women over 50 have the money and the desire to want to look their best.
Thought-provoking and inspiring. You think you know your own style but it's always a good idea to review this on a regular basis. This book gives lots of tips for reinventing your style without falling victim to the "young" fashions available. The book ends with a plea for the fashion industry to be more aware of and cater for older women's fashion.
I enjoyed reading the book. Much of the advice was just common sense but there were many ideas that made me sit up, take note and want to try them. I didn't particularly like the references to specific shops. I found this uninteresting, so I tended to skim over those sections.
Overall, a good easy read with plenty of food for thought.
I enjoyed reading the book. Much of the advice was just common sense when you thought about it, but there were many tips I had never thought of. This is an excellent book for anyone over 40 who feels it's never too late to look good. I have already taken several of her tips and used them and I not only look better, I feel better about myself.
The book's subtitle is 'Fashion for the Young at Heart', which is, of course, a nicer way of saying 'for the over-fifties'!
It is easy to get complacent appearance-wise when you hit middle age. You tend to go for comfort and practicality over high fashion, or actually any fashion at all. In my case, with a very large smallholding and a carp fishing business, I generally live in scruffies and wellies. But when I started nipping into the tiny supermarket in our local small market town in these same scruffies, and even once in the wellies, I realised I was letting things go a bit too much.
Hence reading this book. I was a bit wary to start with, as what one person might consider highly fashionable, someone else would refuse to be seen dead in. However, I quickly realised that the author wants us to preserve our uniqueness, for us to relish what is 'us' about us, but merely to step out of the shadows and be seen. We're too young to disappear into the background just yet.
At the heart of the book is the author's idea of STAR qualities. The second of these, and for me the most crucial, is 'True to Yourself', but I shan't reveal the others. You'll have to treat yourselves to this excellent book to find out! 'True to yourself' is about nurturing our personality in what we wear. We should go for things we feel comfortable in and in which we can be ourselves. I've attempted some 'relooking' in the past and failed, I realise now, because I was going for an image that just wasn't me. The author tells us how to identify what our 'thing' is and build on it in fashionable and interesting ways. She takes us through all four of the STAR qualities, and advises us on how to pull all these aspects together and be proud to be seen.
We hear from fashion designers and snappy dressers in the book, and there are plenty of photos to inspire. The author points us firmly in the direction of where to find inspiration. There's also a quick look at the fashion faux pas which are the author's pet hats, and that's fun. 'Badly packed parachute' and 'wrinkly teenager' are two of the looks not to go for!
This is a clever and inspiring book from a lively and encouraging author. I'm taking her tips on board and promise faithfully that I shall never be seen in public in clothes that I milk llamas in (no, you didn't read that wrong) or wear when chasing escaped piglets.
And should you need any more encouragement to read this book for yourself, then I must tell you that Maggie Cox reveals that Cleopatra is her no. 2 style icon. Now, how can you not want to hear more from this person!
Found quite a lot of useful information and some really good tips on this book, an interesting book for middle aged women who don't want to look aged!
Since being over my 50's and my body changing shape I have read many books on fashion on what to wear and what not to wear. I have found each book offers some insight that I haven't heard before and can learn from. I liked that "It's never too late to look great!" by Maggie Cox suggested to be true to yourself.
The book is definitely worth a read for the many tips to find your unique look. The many tips help its reader to not give up and look frumpy just because they are older. It suggests to look in the mirror, figure out who you are now and how you want to look. Really made clothes shopping more fun for me.
Well, seeing as I have reached the age of 60 I thought it was time for a change. Some great advice and tips in this book. Here's to a new me.

Whether you are looking for a stunning UKC/ABKC/ABR registered show dog or just a fine quality family pet let us help you!
From show stopper to couch potatoe, a Rainier Bully puppy will make your family complete. Your puppy will come from an active dog show family and it is our goal to place level minded, well socialized puppies with amazing pedigree, stellar disposition and great health, an all around sound dog, into forever lasting homes.
Every family that welcomes a RBK puppy into their home leaves with the knowledge that we will always be there! We always help our owners. From boarding services, short and long term emergencies, vaccine administrations, toe nail trims and anything in between a puppy born here is a puppy always welcome home!
For pet home puppies, we request for proper growth and development that spay and neuter surgeries happen no earlier than 1yr old. I can provide veterinary documentation on why this is recommended.
We recommend Parker Way Vet in Mt Vernon or Banks Vet in Banks Oregon for all ear cropping procedures. We have had surgeries done succesfully at both clinics. Cropping is not required it is owners personal preference. The UKC/ABKC/ABR/BRC/IBKC accept BOTH cropped and uncropped ears.
Our goal at RBK is too place each puppy into its forever home with people who will love and cherish each living soul as we have, this is a passion for us first and a hobby second.
We understand that not everyone wants a shelter dog, not every family is a fit for a rescue, we at Rainier Bully Kennels believe above all else that there is nothing wrong with purchasing a pet from a REPUTABLE breeder.
Is a guardian home right for us?


Given current interest in a wellbeing index that measures happiness, the results of a survey recently carried out by NFER on behalf of the Department for Education, produced some interesting results.
As part of the Tellus4 Survey, over 32, 000 school children, in years 6, 8 and 10, where asked to rate how they felt about the statement "I feel happy about life at the moment". Having analysed their responses to this question the NFER's Centre for Statistics have considered how these relate to other findings in the survey and look at the conclusions that can be made as to how various aspects of their life affect their happiness.


(Cathexis Press, 2011) is a complex investigation of $30,000 paid to adopt a child, four Guatemalan "orphans," one nonprofit evangelical Christian adoption agency, a family-run child-trafficking ring, one infant cut from her unconscious mother's womb, two tiny missing sisters, and a nine-member Tennessee family who believed whole-heartedly in Christian love and faith, until the dark side of international adoption shattered their trust. "Finding Fernanda" is Siegal's first book.
>Hear an excerpt of an interview with Mildred Alvarado, Fernanda's birthmother.
& "The U.S. Embassy Cables"
"Journalist Faces Corruption in Guatemala Adoptions," Kim Fagan-Hansel, February 2012, AdoptionToday.
"Finding Fernanda" is an incredible piece of investigative journalism. The amount of time, depth of research and commitment to this story is evidenced on every page of this book. The book is a page turner and a jaw dropper as the evidence of corruption runs deep and the story unfolds.
"Child Abduction for Adoption and the Tangled Web of Deceit in Guatemala: A Review of Erin Siegal's 'Finding Fernanda'," Karen Smith Rotabi, January 31, 2012, RH Reality Check.
By the end of this captivating read, it is impossible to see Alvarado as anything but a strong and resilient woman who is determined to fight circumstances of poverty and oppression—its impact on human dignity and the destruction of her family.
Some of the details of the dark side of the industry in Guatemala—houses where pregnant women are kept while waiting to give birth, nurseries where children waiting to be adopted are given borderline-starvation levels of sustenance—are Dickensian in their cruelty. But the tone of the book is, perhaps surprisingly, not despairing. Siegal brings welcome attention to the work of the Fundación Sobrevivientes (Survivor's Foundation), a women's rights organization founded by an ex-guerrilla, Norma Cruz, that has grown into one of the most important pillars of the country's fragile civil society.
"Finding Fernanda," Whitney Eulich, November 28, 2011, The Christian Science Monitor.
This well-researched examination of international adoption captures a world of inexplicable actions–some based on religious faith and others purely criminal–through thoughtful detail and an engaging narrative. Siegal began this work as a master's project for her graduate degree in journalism, working with documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, leaked e-mails, and sources in the US and Guatemalan governments. "Finding Fernanda"–released just in time for National Adoption Month and which Siegal has published at her own expense–reads like a mystery novel, but the facts it reveals are hauntingly true.

There's this weekly thing we have in the office called Hater Thursdays. We've tried a few times to work Chloe Sevigny's name into the session somehow but it never works. For example, she decides to give designing a go with a clothing line for Opening Ceremony and all we can do is obsess over it—the fake fur topped creepers and the adorably pretty liberty-print bustiers...just lovely. So when we heard Chloe was turning pictures of her modeling said collection by photographer Mark Borthwick into a real-life-for-sale art book we were mildly gleeful. I mean who on earth sells their lookbook for money? It just seems so very deliciously hate-worthy. Anyway, so this week the glossy Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony Book arrives in the mail just in time for Hater Thursdays!! But it's really not what we expected at all. Sliced horizontally down the middle flick-book style with lots of cheeky Chloe-inspired artwork peppered in between ( courtesy of an all star art cast that includes Rita Ackerman, Dan Colen, Lizzie Bougatos and Spencer Sweeney ), it's probably the most fun we've had with fashion and art simultaneously for a very long time. Yes we could probably spend hours mixing and matching different Chloes: cute Russian-doll-face Chloe with hot-leggings Chloe, or crisp-white-shirt Chloe on horseback. There's even an illustration of Chloe farting "career vegetables." We are actually genuinely psyched that Chloe has a sense of humor to match her flawless sense of style. And if we're being extra honest it is kind of fun dismembering her (well cutting her in two at least!) in the name of art too.

Our own Paul Fosse has spent a bit of time digging into the intricacies of the Tesla referral program, including how to get the referral code added after ordering. While it's not as easy as simply inputting the Supercharging discount code on the order page, it's not that difficult to get it applied afterward.
The key, of course, is that you had to have ordered your vehicle (or Tesla Powerwall or solar roof) before February 2. Also, if you already took delivery, my understanding is that your ability to get the referral bonus is expired. Sorry.
Send an email to [email protected] (or [email protected] if you're in Europe) with the word "Referral" in the subject line.
Put your name, contact information, reservation number (starts with RN), and the referral code you'd like to use (for example, tomasz7234 if using mine) in the body of the email.
With that out of the way, with your first Tesla on the way, you may be wondering about all kinds of things. How will it really work — the charging, the city driving, road trips, Autopilot, the touchscreen, etc. So, below, I'll provide a handful of our core takeaways and early lessons from owning a Tesla Model S in Europe.
The navigation system is brilliant. You seriously just put in your destination — even if it's across the continent — and follow the car's directions.
If you have Autopilot, it makes highway driving approximately 3× more enjoyable.
The smooth, electric powertrain reduces fatigue. It's peaceful.
You should actually stop every couple of hours on a road trip. Many people (like me) think they're better off pushing through and driving for 3–4 hours (or more). However, that is genuinely not ideal. Forced to stop every 2 or so hours in the Tesla, I'm convinced I did end up feeling much better than if I had pushed through in a gasmobile.
The power. The power, baby.
Tesla vehicles are wide. Really, they are. Just be cautious. And get rim protectors. And always try to imagine the car is approximately a hand length wider on each side than you think it is.
Get ready to talk. If you're in California or Norway, I think no one will bother you. Otherwise, there's a good chance your new Tesla will attract a lot of eyeballs and questions. You'd be surprised sometimes who is interested in your Tesla. Get your talking points ready and perhaps have a method for keeping them fresh for yourself so you don't get bored. You can show off the Easter eggs (a fan favorite), the acceleration, the top safety ratings, the brilliant navigation system, Autopilot, the frunk, the slick music player, the range (the first or second thing most people will ask you about), how easy and convenient it is to charge, the zero emissions and gas-free life, regenerative braking, over-the-air updates, the car's superb efficiency, and so on. I honestly recommend a method for keeping these discussions fresh for yourself, though, as they can get a bit old after 100+ chats.
Of course, you can also share these 30 nasty Tesla sales charts to explain to them how competitive the Model 3, Model S, and Model X are.
Consider adding your car to our Tesla Shuttle network if you'd be happy to take people on city-to-city drives once in a while for a few hundred dollars, and/or add it to Turo, Lyft, or Uber if those options suit you.
In case you do happen to have an unfortunate service issue, check out your Tesla service options ahead of time. You can take your Tesla to the service center that delivers your car, but you may also be able to have a Tesla Ranger come and service your car at your home or work. Of course, you can call Tesla about service issues, but you can also now communicate with Tesla for some things via the app or navigation system.
Lastly, you can use the app to turn on Valet Model or Speed Limit Mode to limit what another driver can do while taking your car to the parking garage or elsewhere.
If you have a friend getting married, consider offering up your Tesla as the wedding car. In my humble opinion, nothing else compares. The clean, high-tech, luxurious ride in a Tesla is perfect for a wedding day. You can even use the drawing app on the touchscreen to draw a heart, write a message, or surprise the happy couple in another way.
I'm sure I'm missing some more interesting and useful tips and tricks. Perhaps some other Tesla owners can chime in with their own thoughts, lessons, or favorite things to do with a Tesla.

There are two things I would choose to spend my days doing. One is to be in trial in court, and the other is to be flying. Yesterday I got BOTH.
I'm in the middle of a bench trial in the General District Court of Hampton, Virginia. Hampton is near Norfolk and Virginia Beach in southern Virginia, southeast of Richmond about 80 miles. There's a big naval air station there, but not much else. I've been going there a lot for court proceedings related to a particular client, but never been able to fly. With the trial half over, though, the judge ordered us back at 1pm yesterday so the defendant could finish putting on his witnesses. My choices for getting there included (a) driving 3-5 hours, depending on traffic, (b) driving an hour to Baltimore, waiting an hour and dealing with security, then flying a half hour on a commercial airline, or (c) flying an hour by myself. I chose option (c).
I took the Cardinal, which has quickly become my favorite plane for cross-country travel. It is quiet, economical, roomy, and comfortable. What's more, its autopilot has been re-installed and works great, which removes some of the workload of flying.
I took off about 9:00 for the flight of 140 nautical miles. My route took me east through the VFR corridor south of the Baltimore Class B airspace and north of the DC Flight Restricted Zone, then south along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Threading my way between two restricted areas used for fighter pilot training, I crossed the Potomac and Patuxent Rivers, and headed on into Newport News International Airport.
The weather was mostly overcast, though the clouds were broken in the distance, where sunlight streamed through. I had to stay relatively low, about 2,500 feet above the ground, in order to stay 500 feet beneath the clouds. In this next photo, you can see that the plane was skimming along underneath the cloud cover.
The Cardinal is faster than the Skyhawks I trained in, and with a slight tailwind I averaged about 125-130 knots (145-150 mph) the whole way. With an album by The Great Unknowns streaming from my iPod into my headset, the miles sped by. With the great visibility, I could see the end of the overcast from sixty miles away.
The only glitch..... The radios stopped working, just like when Jodie and I went to Atlantic City. And this time I couldn't get them to work again. Newport News International is in controlled airspace, which meant that I needed to be able to talk to the control tower to land there, so I had a bit of a dilemma. I finally realized that the intercom speaker and handheld microphone still worked, so I used that to talk to the tower and get on the ground.
The day in court was great. The defendant's witnesses were all liars who couldn't keep their own stories straight, and I had a field day. In response to my questions, they got all tangled up and confused trying to make their testimony fit together with any semblance of truth -- it was great! When the day was done, though, I was tired. I hadn't had lunch and I needed a cup of coffee. By the time I grabbed a sandwich and a cup, it was getting dark.
Using the speaker and handheld microphone, I talked to the tower and took off into the twilight. The roar of the engine filled my head without my headset to muffle the sound. The sun had already set, but in the fading light I could see a fleet of Navy ships at anchor in Norfolk Bay. The sky was completely clear, with not a cloud anywhere in sight. I could see the entire moon, though only a sliver was illuminated. I leveled off and set the autopilot to take me to the first waypoint. On a whim, I reset the circuit breaker on the radios, and it stayed in! I put my headset on and enjoyed the relative silence.
The lights of houses, businesses, and cars winked below as I sped north. I monitored the Cardinal's engine gauges to maintain the best air/fuel mixture and watched our progress on the GPS. As I approached Annapolis, I descended to duck into the VFR corridor and turned west toward Gaithersburg. At night the ground seems much closer than it is, and just 1,300 feet above the ground it felt like I was skimming the tops of trees and buildings. At 125 knots (almost 145 mph), buildings and roads seemed to fly past and it was not long before I turned into the traffic pattern at Gaithersburg. The wind on the ground was calm, but there was a wind aloft that threw me off on my first approach, so I circled to try again and the Cardinal and I settled to the runway.
It was after 5pm when I got out of court. A sandwich, cup of coffee, and 140 NM later, and I was on the ground, minutes from home, at 7:30. What a great day!

Røn Church () is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Vestre Slidre Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is located in the village of Røn. It is one of the churches for the Røn parish which is part of the Valdres prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Hamar. The white, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1748 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 120 people.

History
In 1746, the parish began planning to close two old churches: Øyjar Church and Fystro Church. The plan was to close the old churches and then build a new church in the village of Røn, about halfway between the two older churches. In 1747–1748, a new wooden long church was built in Røn, using some of the old salvaged materials from the two old churches. The new building was completed and put into use on 8 December 1748, but it was not consecrated until 24 February 1749. In the early 1800s, a small church porch was built on the west end of the nave. During the 1920s, a new sacristy was built on the east end of the chancel.

As the demand for new residential construction continues, more builders are turning to panelization – the prefabrication of structural building components in a factory instead of the job site.
At PCBC (http://www.pcbc.com), June 28-29, in San Diego, Covestro LLC will take panelized construction to the next level with the introduction of PUReWall™, a cost-effective, high-performance, insulated structural wall panel.
PUReWall™ panels are constructed at a panelization facility using conventional wood frames and polyurethane-based insulation that is both continuous and between framing. The rigid polyiso board continuous insulation reduces thermal bridging and has an integrated weather resistive barrier that eliminates the need for plastic house wrap. The rigid polyiso board, when combined with a structural closed cell spray polyurethane foam, provides a similar unit shear capacity to continuously sheathed wood structural panels.
"The PUReWall™ system offers numerous benefits for panelizers, builders and homeowners," says Jim Lambach, manager of Building and Construction, Industrial Marketing, Polyurethanes, Covestro LLC. "By licensing our PUReWall™ technology, panelizers are able to integrate higher levels of functionality and quality in a wall assembly that simplifies on-site construction for builders with less waste, time and cost. The end product meets or exceeds International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) 2015 requirements, providing a better wall assembly for homeowners."
