The number of visitors at tourist attractions grew by a slow 1%, and current value sales recorded 2% growth in 2013. A drop in domestic tourism combined with slowly rising prices of tickets compared to stagnating real wages contributed to the weak performance of tourist attractions in 2013.

It is also worth noting that the existing domestic expenditure power is usually attributed to destinations outside of Budapest, where most of the tourist attractions are located.

Huntington's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that can be inherited from one generation to another as an autosomal dominant trait. It arises due to genetically programmed degeneration of neurons in some parts of the brain such as basal ganglia and cerebral cortex. Basal ganglia plays an important role in coordinating movement while cerebral cortex regulates perception, thought, and memory. Degeneration of neurons leads to progressive cognitive impairment and dementia. People with Huntington's disease often develop chorea that causes involuntary muscle movements of hands, face, trunk, and feet. The behavioural disorders associated with the disease include depression, psychosis, and changes in personality. Other symptoms of the disease include speech impairment, anxiety, stress, and difficulty in swallowing. People suffering from Huntington's disease usually develop symptoms in their mid-30s and 40s. However, in few cases, disease symptoms appear in childhood or teens. The former case represents the adult-onset form of the disease, while the latter is the early-onset form. The early-onset form is associated with symptoms such as tremors, slow movements, and rigidity. Children with early-onset disease rarely live to adulthood. Currently, there is no approved treatment for Huntington's disease.

Argentina's power generation grew by 5.3% in 2014 , as the Atucha II nuclear plant went online after years of delays - a crucial step in the government's ambitious nuclear expansion plan. Nevertheless, the country continues to suffer from poor power infrastructure and insufficient installed capacity, as highligh ted by an agreement to start import ing Bolivian power by the end of 2015. The recen t sovereign default has further damaged the business environment and prompted us to expect the country to remain primarily dependent on Chinese financing for power projects in the short term (particularly in hydropower).
