Typhoon Dujuan, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Onyok, was the strongest tropical cyclone to strike the Pearl River delta since Typhoon Hope in 1979.
 The 13th storm and 7th typhoon of the 2003 Pacific typhoon season, Dujuan developed on August 27 to the east of Taiwan.
 It initially moved to the northwest, slowly intensifying into a tropical storm while drawing moisture and rainfall over the Philippines.
 On the island of Luzon, one person was killed and areas were flooded.
 Dujuan quickly intensified after turning and moving quicker to the west-northwest, developing an eye.
 It reached peak winds of 150 km/h (90 mph) on September 1, and shortly thereafter passed just south of Taiwan.
 There, Dujuan left 590,000 people without power, killed three, and caused NT$200 million (NWD, $115 million USD) in crop damage.
 While moving through the South China Sea, the typhoon developed concentric eyewalls.
 Dujuan weakened to severe tropical storm status before making landfall on September 2 in southern China, just east of Hong Kong near Shenzhen, Guangdong.
 The storm dissipated the next day after causing 40 deaths and ¥2.3 billion (CNY, $277 million USD) in damage.
 Most of the deaths were in Shenzhen where the storm moved ashore, and the city experienced a near-total power outage. 1927 Atlantic hurricane season
The 1927 Atlantic hurricane season featured no hurricane landfalls in the United States, in contrast to the four hurricanes that struck the United States in the previous season.
 Overall, the season was relatively inactive, with eight tropical storms, four of which became hurricanes.
 One of these became a major hurricane, which is Category 3 or higher on the modern day Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale.
 The first system, a tropical depression, developed on August 13, while the final cyclone, a tropical storm, merged with a cold front on November 21.
 The most significant storm of the season was Hurricane One, nicknamed the "Nova Scotia hurricane".
 The sole major hurricane, this storm resulted in between 173 and 192 deaths in Atlantic Canada, mostly from capsized and missing ships offshore.
 On land, the storm left about $1.7 million (1927 USD) in damage, with much of the damage occurring in Nova Scotia.
 Additionally, the fourth, fifth, and sixth tropical storms brought minor impact to Bermuda, South Carolina, and Cuba, respectively. Olympic Dam Task Force
The Olympic Dam Task Force was formed by the Government of South Australia in 2006 to assist with the facilitation of the expansion of BHP Billiton's Olympic Dam copper, gold and uranium mine near Roxby Downs in the state's Far North region.
 The Olympic Dam Task Force was initially allocated $1.5 million over three financial years to support its operations which included maximising the flow-on benefits of the proposed $5 billion plus mining expansion.
 At the time of its foundation, the Olympic Dam expansion was believed to have the potential to generate around 23 000 direct and indirect jobs.
 The task force was allocated an additional $1.7 million funding for the financial years 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 to pay for recruitment of additional staff, provision of external advice, and other costs.
 Annual expenditure exceeded $2 million for the first time in 2012, the same year BHP Billiton decided not to proceed with the expansion as originally planned.
 The Task Force's scope has since expanded to include the facilitation of other major industrial projects in South Australia.
