Estimating and forecasting production and orders in manufacturing industry from business survey data: Evidence from Switzerland 1990-2003

A fundamental issue for policy-oriented business cycle research is access to leading - or at least coincident - and reliable indicators of economic activity in manufacturing industry. Therefore, we analyse how the quickly disposable, qualitative information of the business tendency survey conducted by the Swiss Institute for Business Cycle Research (KOF) is related to the official production and order statistics of Switzerland. Pairs of high cross-correlations were selected for further analyses (Granger causality, pattern of turning points). In the next step, the remaining variables are used as predictors of the official statistics in a bivariate and multivariate approach. The results show a very high and stable relationship between the two data-sets particularly for nowcasts and - though to a somewhat lesser degree - for short term prognostics

Can aerobic exercise protect against dementia?

There are more than 36 million people in the US over the age of 65, and all of them are impacted by the cognitive decline and brain atrophy associated with normal aging and dementia-causing conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body disease, and vascular dementia. Recently, moderate exercise and improved fitness have been shown to enhance cognition in cognitively normal older persons as well as in individuals who complain of memory difficulty. Additionally, fitness correlates with brain volume in persons who are cognitively normal and those with Alzheimer's disease. Exercise in mouse models causes neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus. This review will discuss animal experiments, epidemiology, limited prospective studies, and biomarker data that make the case that prospective blinded studies are urgently needed to evaluate the role of aerobic exercise in protecting against dementia

I\u27ll Change the Shadows to Sunshine

Is that a tear in your eye, dear? Is that a sigh I hear? Why be so sad and so lonesome When there is someone so near? Let me but share in your sadness, Always be near when you’re blue, I’ll change the sadness to gladness I’ll take the shadows from you. CHORUS I’ll change the shadows to sunshine, I’ll kiss the tears away, I’ll change the snows of December, Into the flow’rs of May. I’ll change the sighing to smiling, And all the long years thru I’ll change the shadows to sunshine, Sweetheart, for I love you. If you’ll just say that you love me, Sunshine will creep in your heart. We’ll make life only a story And love shall play the big part I’ll build a garden of Roses, And if the storms come some day, I’ll hold you close in my arms, dear,Till all the clouds pass away
