The NSW Government announced in May that all venues must remove, alter or conceal all external gambling-related signs, including fixed unilluminated awning signs and digital video displays. The ban will be implemented through a staged approach to ensure pubs and clubs are given the appropriate time to conceal, remove and switch off any illegal signs. From 1 September, Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) is primed to start rigorous compliance inspections and is asking the community to alert it to any remaining signage from that date.

China nudged banks this month to cut deposit interest rates further, seven people with knowledge of the matter said, in the latest effort to channel the country's vast savings pool into spending and more productive investments. Members of China's 'interest rate self-regulatory mechanism,' mostly banks, met this month and were urged to reduce deposit rates, according to two attendees and two other bank sources who were closely briefed on the meeting. China's central bank does not set bank rates directly but guides them through the market-based mechanism, which comprises banks big and small.

Findings by researchers at the University of Southampton, together with scientists from other organisations, suggest that troponin may have a more general role as an indicator of medium-term survival.
