Index forecasts weaker growth The index predicts future real GDP growth (gross domestic product, adjusted for inflation) based on 11 leading economic and financial indicators. Four of the 11 indicators were positive in July, up from three in June. Positive indicators include hours worked, real capital goods orders, the real money supply and light-vehicle sales, all of which increased. Negative indicators include declines in building permits, stock prices, ISM export orders and the yield curve. About the USA TODAY/IHS Global Insight Economic Outlook Index USA TODAY and IHS Global Insight, a top-rated economic analysis and consulting firm, created this index to help readers track the economic recovery. The index predicts future gross domestic product (GDP) growth. To forecast real GDP growth, IHS Global Insight designed a model that produces a weighted composite of 11 leading indicators. For each indicator, the model compares a moving average of the latest three months to a moving average over the past year.

Joyfully Universal Language for (Inline) Assembly — Solidity 0.4.20 documentation JULIA is an intermediate language that can compile to various different backends (EVM 1.0, EVM 1.5 and eWASM are planned). Because of that, it is designed to be a usable common denominator of all three platforms. It can already be used for “inline assembly” inside Solidity and future versions of the Solidity compiler will even use JULIA as intermediate language. Note Note that the flavour used for “inline assembly” does not have types (everything is u256) and the built-in functions are identical to the EVM opcodes. The core components of JULIA are functions, blocks, variables, literals, for-loops, if-statements, switch-statements, expressions and assignments to variables. JULIA is typed, both variables and literals must specify the type with postfix notation. JULIA in itself does not even provide operators. The following example program assumes that the EVM opcodes mul, div and mod are available either natively or as functions and computes exponentiation. Specification of JULIA¶ Grammar:
UNESCO Culture and development Measuring how culture contributes to economic development The Hangzhou Declaration of May 2013 was a key step in UNESCO’s advocacy for the role of culture in sustainable development. In this context, understanding the contribution of cultural employment to the economy is vital. What is the size of the cultural labour force in the economy? What is the role of the UIS? The UIS is developing a global survey on cultural employment statistics using the methodology of the 2009 UNESCO Framework for Cultural Statistics.
