Advances in plumbing technology and design mean that faucets, showers, and toilets can use significantly less water than standard models while still delivering the rinse, spray, and flush you expect.
If you are replacing water appliances, look for the WaterSense label at your local retailer. WaterSense is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program designed to encourage water efficiency in the United States through the use of a special label on consumer products. All products bearing the WaterSense label complete a third-party certification process that includes independent laboratory testing. WaterSense is to water appliances, what Energystar is to electrical items.
Faucet Aerators and Showerheads
Upgrading to inexpensive water-efficient faucet aerators and shower heads can reduce your home water consumption, and the associated energy cost of heating water by as much as 50 percent. Because of this, low-flow aerators and shower heads will generally pay for themselves in only a few months.
An aerator is a small, metal, sieve-like device that screws onto the tip of a faucet nozzle, and mixes air with water by separating a single flow of water into many tiny streams. Because there is less space for the water to flow through, the water flow is reduced, yet the water pressure is maintained, which is why most people don't notice a difference in the amount of water coming out of an aerated faucet.
The amount of water coming out of an aerator is measured in gallons per minute (gpm). Standard faucet aerators tend to run at 2.2 gpm, but aerators can have flow rates of 0.5-2.5 gallons of water per minute. The gpm flow rate of the aerator is generally imprinted on the side of the device.
The variations in gpm flow allow you to choose an aerator that best serves your purpose. For maximum water efficiency, you may want to use a 0.5 to 1 gpm aerator for a bathroom sink, and a slightly higher flow of 1.5 to 2.0 gpm in a kitchen sink.
The water that flows from a showerhead is also measured in gallons per minute, and the flow rate of showers can vary from 1.5 gpm to 5 gpm, or more. The "standard" showerhead uses 2.5 gpm.
The savings in water consumption are apparent when you consider the length of time spent in the shower multiplied by the gallon per minute flow of a showerhead.
For instance, a typical 5-minute shower, using a 5 gpm non water conserving showerhead, will consume 25 gallons of water, whereas, a water conserving 1.5 gpm showerhead will only use 7.5 gallons of water.
If you are replacing the faucets in your kitchen and bath, look for WaterSense-labeled faucets, which can reduce a sink's water flow by 30 percent or more, and will help you save money on water and energy bills.
Toilets typically consume the largest amount of water in your home, and the age of your toilet generally determines its volume of water usage.
Toilets that were manufactured after 1992, when newer plumbing standards were enacted, use 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf). Toilets manufactured prior to 1992 can use anywhere from 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush.
Consider replacing an older, high water use toilet with a WaterSense-certified toilet , which use less than 1.3 gallons per flush.
Many towns have rebate programs to help defray the cost of a water-efficient toilet. Make sure to check with your local water department before making your purchase!
Also keep in mind that toilets often leak, wasting up to 200 gallons of water a day!
Sometimes you can hear the toilet water "running", but other times it's a silent leak. Find a leak by placing a drop of food coloring in the toilet tank and waiting a few minutes. If any color shows up in the bowl without flushing, you have a leak.
Toilet leaks are usually caused by a worn toilet flapper, an inexpensive, easy-to-replace rubber part that can be found at most hardware stores. Be sure to get a flapper designed for your toilet make and model.

Dual Flush Toilet Conversion Kit
If you can't afford to replace your toilet, you may want to consider installing a dual flush toilet conversion kit into your toilet tank.
A dual flush toilet provides users a choice between a full or reduced flush. Designed and patented to drop in to your toilet tank and attach to the existing flush valve, dual flush conversion kits require no tank removal, and can be completed in less than 30 minutes. Conversion kit manufacturers claim that the dual flush uses 70 percent less water than a typical toilet, using the liquid and paper flush.
The conversion kit is an inexpensive, off-the-shelf item, which is found in most hardware stores, and works with all standard flush valves.
Clothes Washers
Clothes washers are usually the second largest water user in your home. If your clothes washer is old, you might consider replacing it with a high-efficiency clothes washer. Most ENERGY STAR washers use 35 to 50 percent less water and 50 percent less energy per load than traditional washing machines.
To save even more water, look for a clothes washer with a low water factor. Water factor is a measurement of water efficiency that is calculated as gallons of water used per cubic foot of capacity
For instance, if a clothes washer uses 30 gallons per cycle and has a tub volume of 3.0 cubic feet, then the water factor is 10.0. The lower the water factor, the more efficient the clothes washer.
Look on the Energy Star website for more information: www.energystar.gov
Irrigation Moisture Sensors
Often times, lawns are over watered – or not watered enough. An irrigation moisture sensor is a device that measures the water content in soil and regulates irrigation systems based on the moisture results. The moisture sensor signals the irrigation controller to turn on the system, based on when a lawn actually needs water, as opposed to on a variable schedule. This device takes the guess work out of irrigating, and minimizes errors, such as watering during a rain storm.

A collective approach to mental health
In our role as administrator of the INMO Salary Protection Scheme, we at Cornmarket have a unique understanding of the conditions which cause claims to arise, and with this in mind, an initiative around mental health and wellbeing was built into the Scheme during its last review.
There's no doubt that Covid-19 has had an impact on the mental health of many, not least nurses & midwives, so we are proud to be working with the INMO on this collective campaign for the benefit of members at this time.
Informed by research
The INMO nurses and midwives community is unique, with a wide variety of roles and a range of responsibilities and pressures. To help inform this initiative, we commissioned a research project to understand the specific factors that contribute to members' mental health and wellbeing, with a view to building a visible and accessible campaign, based on topics that matter. We commissioned a review of the most recent literature and research available on Nurses and Midwives mental health.
Additionally, we have drawn from the results of the INMO Mental Health Covid-19 Survey 2020 to help us understand the impact the pandemic was having on members mental health.
To support findings, Dr. Sharon Lambert working for Full health Medical carried out 8 one-to-one qualitative interviews with members to help us gather a deeper understanding of the issues raised.

Addressing what matters
More recently we asked INMO Income Protection Scheme members to help shape the initiative via an online survey. This gave members the opportunity to let us know what really mattered and what was needed in this initiative.
47% don't know where to access free mental health support for nurses and midwives*
98% want tailored support for INMO members*
In response to research findings, as well as the suggestions made by nurses and midwives, we invited wellbeing specialists, mental health experts, charities and more to join the Let's Talk About It mental health collective. From bespoke webinars, podcasts and wellbeing resources to one-to-one and peer support services, there is something for everyone.
Now it's over to INMO members - Let's Talk About It aims to get nurses and midwives talking about mental health, create a community of support and equip members with practical advice so they can take action to protect their mental health when they need to.
Together, we can make an impact for nurses and midwives mental health.

India's e-commerce Policy | Amazon & Walmart Calls in help from US
The reports from various media sources state that there is a good chance that the e-commerce giants including Amazon and Walmart might turn to United State's government with the hope to reaching out to India's Policymakers regarding their new e-commerce policy. "The new e-commerce policy is heavily titled against foreign firms", said the online retailers.
On account of this matter, there is a possibility of several government-to-government meetings and talks to be held between these two countries.
A person (unnamed) said, "We expect a barrage of letters to be exchanged between Indian and US authorities if the policy does not become more evenhanded".
There is no doubt that the online retailers consider India as the top market and in this context, both Amazon and Walmart have been planning their expansion in India, According to the latest updates, Amazon has been planning on investing $5 billion in India wherein Walmart has also planned to acquire a controlling 77 percent stake in Flipkart for $16 billion.
A Single Regulator for all e-commerce issues in India?
With all these plans of both these giant e-commerce platforms, the news of new e-commerce policy from India has come as a shock. The latest e-commerce policy designed by the Indian policymakers has been accused of creating an unlevel playing field for the foreign e-commerce companies. As per the Draft National Policy Framework on e-commerce, India is moving ahead in forming the single legislation to handle all the e-commerce matters and regulations.
What is the fuss all about?
Well! the Indian Policymakers have come up with the policy allowing the Indian-owned and managed marketplaces to have the option to hold inventories, unlike the foreign-funded firms. Industry experts also mentioned how this policy will impact the India-specific investment flow from both Amazon and Walmart.
Not only this but the policy also proposes the barring of the bulk purchases by the "related party sellers" of all the branded products and goods as these products lead to the price distortions in the marketplace. These goods include – Mobile Phones and white goods.
This policy however directly impacts the sale strategies of the big e-commerce companies like Amazon and Flipkart as these are the companies that tend to purchase goods in bulk and then sell to the large vendors.
Presently, the government has just opened the draft policy for public consultations and this draft seems to create a lot of ripple in the US administration as well. Let's see what will be the final decision of Indian government. Will they be rewriting the policy or not?

The Perfecta Sniper line is dedicated to tactical long range precision shooting at and it is designed, produced and tested according to the most stringent quality standards required by military supplies. The production takes place, in small size lots, in a dedicated department of the company and each cartridge is individually controlled. The possibility to develop ammunition that exactly meet the customer's specific requirements is a peculiarity that only Perfecta Sniper line can provide and this has been exploited by the Italian Army Special Forces to develop the EXO Technology cartridges used on an operational scenario. Deliveries made to 36 military bodies and police forces of 24 different countries are - more than any other consideration - a proof of the appreciation for the quality of the product in the world.
Products subject to prior authorization for export.


One of my staple recipes and something I love to eat is a whole orange cake – where you boil up some oranges and blitz with sugar, eggs and almond meal. It's one of those great traditional, never-fail recipes. I've always wanted to test it with other citrus fruits, and finally got around to trying it with limes. These little cakes are rich and dense in the way almond meal cakes are, with a tart, almost marmalade-y taste from the whole fruit.
This is adapted from an SBS food recipe. You could make it as a whole cake – as the original recipe does – but I've used a friand tin, because I had it, and because I love the little oval shape.
I don't usually eat white chocolate but the tartness of the cake works with the sweetness of the icing in this case – plus these cakes are going to a birthday party so I figure they can afford to be a little luxurious. You could just as easily skip the icing if you were looking for a lighter treat – maybe just dust some icing sugar over the top and serve with yoghurt.
You need approximately 350g of whole limes for the cake. Don't cut the limes to get exactly 350g, just come as close as you can with whole fruit.
Cover the limes with cold water in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Once boiling, strain the limes, re-fill with cold water and once again bring to the boil. Repeat this process 3 times in total. It seems annoying but you have to do this or the cake will taste too bitter.
After the third time, re-fill again and bring to the boil, then put a lid on the pot and let the limes simmer for about 30 minutes or until they are really really soft. Once they're done, let them cool.
With the limes ready, the rest of the cake is pretty simple. Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius and grease your tins. Put the limes in a food processor and blitz really well (2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides) until they become a smooth paste. Add the softened butter and caster sugar and blitz again for about 1 minute. Add the eggs to the food processor and blitz a final time until the mix is really well combined.
Then, in a large bowl, whisk the almond meal and baking powder together, making sure you get any lumps out. Add the lime mix from the food processor and fold through the almond meal until you have a smooth batter.
Spoon into your tins (mine were pretty full) and bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and a knife comes out cleanly from the centre. Leave to cool in the tins for about 20 minutes, then carefully remove from tins and cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cakes are cooling make your icing.
Melt the white chocolate by placing it in a heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water. Don't let the bowl touch the water. Once you can see that most of the chocolate has melted, take it off the heat, stir until smooth then leave to cool.
Beat the softened butter and icing sugar together with electric beaters until it's light and pale. Add the cream, cooled chocolate and beat until the icing is thick and smooth.
With a butter knife (dipped in hot water) spread the top of each cake with a generous amount of icing, a very generous amount, then zest a little bit of fresh lime over the top.
These cakes keep well in the fridge for a few days, and will freeze well without the icing on.

HomeFEATURES & REFERENCEROUNDTABLE: What did you think of Golden Boy's presentation and production of Liddell vs. Ortiz 3?
ROUNDTABLE: What did you think of Golden Boy's presentation and production of Liddell vs. Ortiz 3?
By Michael Hiscoe, Managing Editor
If you watched Liddell vs. Ortiz 3, what did you think of the overall production by Golden Boy Promotions?
Frank Hyden, Columnist – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
I didn't watch, but I assume they followed the normal template of MMA production. When it comes to sports and the way they're presented, the innovations are small enough that you only notice when they're not there so I assume the same is true here. The only way you would even think about the production of that show was if something was horribly wrong. It's like a referee or official, you only notice them when they do something wrong. I haven't heard anything bad about the actual show production so I'm sure it was fine.
Christian Moore, MMATorch Contributor
The production was astonishing. It is high quality, because of course it is. This was De La Hoya putting it on, and he spends a lot of money, as he promotes a ton of HUGE boxing fights. However, for the company to succeed they need a big star or group of stars, as putting on fights like Chuck/Tito isn't really a pay-per-view draw. If someone wants a freak show fight, they can find it for free on a Bellator show.
Cole Henry, Live Events Reporter
The production overall was not bad. The commentators were well informed (Rashad Evans and Frank Mir so no surprise there), the cage setup was easy on the eyes, and the card actually had some decent action on it though it will likely be over shadowed by the main event. The production wasn't the issue here, but De La Hoya is a pro and that shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. If somebody would have taken the time to explain the downsides of a Liddell/Ortiz fight in 2018 to De La Hoya, perhaps this show would have been considered a success (And it still may be once the numbers come out), but the reaction certainly has not been positive.
Dylan Bowker, Canadian Events Reporter
I thought the pacing of the show was quite strong. For what the card largely lacked in name value, certain moments were able to elicit solid reactions such as the Palacios knockout. Deron Winn emerged as an interesting prospect via dominating tenured veteran "Filthy" Tom Lawlor. There was also some level of morbid entertainment value with the main event bout. Though Chuck's knockout loss was fairly sad, there was something to be said for the obvious catharsis of The Huntington Beach Bad Boy. Tito doing his grave digger celebration after finally securing a win over his arch-nemesis The Iceman who had bested him twice beforehand by knockout. I think a lot of the metrics associated with the event (inferences on PPV buys, live gate figure, overall attendance, etc) will encourage Oscar and Co. to journey back into MMA promotion again.
Sean Covington, Columnist – Covington's Corner
Golden Boy Productions looked professional, I don't think that anyone could tell that they just got into the MMA business. Its going to be hard for Golden Boy to get any fighters people care about because Bellator and One can barely do that. As far as the production goes, I would hire some ex WWE creative and production crew guys and put together some awesome video packages. WWE can sell me on any match being a big deal with their video packages, they are second to none. In order to stand out Golden Boy would have to be pretty innovative and MMA hasn't shown that it has the fan base to facilitate growth during such a risky venture. I mean, look at what MMA fans say about pro wrestling.
NEXT: DANA WHITE BLOWS GASKET ON 'COKEHEAD OSCAR DE LA WEIRDO'
Michael Hiscoe, MMATorch Managing Editor
I thought the production of Liddell vs. Ortiz 3 was largely good. These days, there are only so many ways you can present MMA. You can either emulate UFC's slick but minimalist presentation, or you can go over the top and aim for what Pride used to do. Bellator manages to find a happy medium. All the basics of Golden Boy's production were on point. The commentary sounded good, the cage was well lit and the on screen graphics were accurate and professional looking. I'm not crazy about six-sided cages, but that might just be me having bad TNA memories. The pacing was still a little slow for my liking. The pay-per-view was still three and a half hours for six fights. Five fights inside three hours should be the target for any MMA broadcast, whether it be pay-per-view, or television. At the least the show started at 9 eastern, so it was easier to get through.

USD/JPY is expected to trade in a lower range. The US dollar remains firm with the USD index currently trading at 96.856 as traders shrugged off a weak reading on the manufacturing sector (Empire State Manufacturing Index fell to -14.92 in August, the lowest level since April 2009, from +3.86 in July). Besides, US stocks edged up overnight amid thinner-than-usual trading activity. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.4% to 17545.18, S&P 500 rose 0.5% to 2102.44, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.9% to 5091.70. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to 2.150% as crude oil dropped 1.5% to a fresh six-year low of $41.87 a barrel and gold was down 0.5% % to $1118.60 per ounce. Regarding USD/JPY, the pair remains range-bounded between the key resistance at 124.60 and the first downside target at 124.00. The pair has failed several times to breach the key resistance at 124.60 since August 13. As long as this level is not surpassed, the risk of breaking below 124.00 stays high. The second downside target is set at 123.75 (around the low of August 12).
The pair is trading below its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a lower range as long as it remains below the pivot point. Short positions are recommended with the first target at 124. A break of that target will move the pair further downwards to 123.75. The pivot point stands at 124.60. In case the price moves in the opposite direction and bounces back from the support level, it will move above its pivot point. It is likely to move further to the upside. According to that scenario, long positions are recommended with the first target at 125 and the second target at 125.25.
USD/CHF is expected to trade with bearish bias. The pair seems to be stuck underneath the key resistance at 0.9800. Meanwhile, the intraday RSI indicator lacks upward momentum, and favors a new drop. As long as 0.9800 is not surpassed, the risk of the break below 0.9720 remains high. Our next down target is set at 0.9660 (the low of August 12).
GBP/JPY is expected to trade with bullish bias. The pair is rebounding and has posted higher tops and lows, confirming an intraday trend reversal. The previous resistance at 194.10 should now play a key resistance role. And the descending 50-period intraday MA also maintains a bullish bias. The first target to the upside is therefore set at the horizontal resistance and overlap at 195.50. A break above this level would open the way to further strength towards 196.05 in extension.
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 195.50 and the second target at 196.05. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 193.70 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 193. The pivot point is at 194.10.
According to the shown H4 chart, Silver price settles above the EMA50 waiting to resume the bullish trend on the intraday basis, which targets the 16.05 level mainly in the upcoming sessions. In general, we continue suggesting the bullish trend on the intraday basis as long as the price is above 15.00 supported by the EMA50. Breaching the 16.05 level will extend the bullish wave towards 17.10 as the next main target.
Holding above 15.00 is a key condition to achieve the suggested rise. Breaking the EMA50 might complete a negative formation that will put the price under negative pressure to stop today's suggested positive scenario.
According to the attached H4 chart, theup trend from 116.83 is still in progress and would target 61.8% retracement of 251.09 to 116.83 at 199.80, which is close to the 200 psychological level. A medium-term momentum is not too convincing with bearish divergence condition in the weekly MACD. We'd be cautious in the medium term topping around 200 and bring a deep correction. Meanwhile, a break of 174.86 will suggest that the trend has reversed earlier than we expect.
Intraday bias in GBP/JPY remains neutral for the moment. Rebound from 184.95 might extend. But we'd expect strong resistance from 195.86 to limit upside and bring a reversal. At this point, we're holding on to the view that consolidation pattern from 195.86 is not completed yet. A break of 190.99 will start the third leg of the consolidation and will target 184.95 support.
NZD/USD is expected to trade in a higher range. The pair has recently formed a strong support base around 0.6540 and is now posting a technical rebound. Both the 20- and 50-period MAs are also turning up and providing support. Moreover, the intraday RSI is bullish above its neutrality area at 50. In this case, further advance is more likely to occur towards 0.6605 as long as 0.6540 holds on the downside.
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. As long as the price holds above its pivot point, long positions are recommended with the first target at 0.6605 and the second target at 0.6630. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 0.6510 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 0.6480. The pivot point is at 0.6540.
Recently, EUR/NZD has been moving downwards. As we expected, the price tested the level of 1.6752 in a high volume. In the daily time frame, we can observe a supply bar in a volume below the average. According to the H1 chart, we have ultra-high volume demand in the background and strong supply later on, which caused the price to start with downward movement. As long as this potential absorption is active, there is a chance that price can drop further. We may expect continuation of downward movement if the price breaks strong support at the level of 1.6800.
Trading recommendations: Watch only for selling opportunities if the price breaks the level of 1.6800 in a high volume.
According to the previous events, the NZD/USD pair has been still moving between 0.6641 and 0.6517. Besides, the resistance has already been set at the level of 0.6641. Therefore, it will be a good sign to sell below 0.6641 with the first target of 0.6517. If the trend breaks the weekly pivot point, it will call for a downtrend in order to continue its bearish movement towards 0.6467 with a view to double bottom. On the other hand, the stop loss should never exceed your maximum exposure amounts, so the stop loss should be placed above the resistance at the price of 0.6694. It should be noted that the key level is set at the levels of 0.6641 and 0.6467.
It should be noted that the key level is set at the levels of 0.6641 and 0.6467.
Moreover, the 0.6617 level is coinciding with the weekly pivot point on August 18, 2015.
We expect a range about 174 pips (0.6641 - 0.6467) in coming days.
Equally important, the resistance has been already formed at the 0.6641 level.
As it is known, history will probably repeat itself at this level again.
The USD/CHF has broken major resistance at the price of 0.9615 which represents the weekly pivot point. Besides, the minor resistance is calculated at 0.9902 and it is now approaching it. Therefore, it will probably start downside movement at this area and recover again. So, the market will indicate a bearish opportunity at the level of 0.9902. It will be a good sign to sell at this spot with the first target of 0.9780 and continue towards 0.9615 in order to form the double bottom (the lowest price of last week). On the other hand, if a break is at the level of 0.9915, it will be a good location for placing stop loss at 0.9930.
According to the previous events, the price has been still trapped between 0.9902 and 0.9630.
Buy above the weekly pivot point 0.9615 with the first target of 0.9788, it might resume to 0.9902.
Below the price of 0.9902, look for further downside with the 0.9770 and 0.9615 targets.
We use historical rates to determine future prices because history will probably repeat itself again.
Since our last analysis, gold has been trading sideways around the price of $1,119.00. According to the daily time frame, we can observe a neutral bar (doji) in a volume below the average. According to the 30M time frame, we can observe a volume spike (selling climax) with a wide range bar at the price of $1,117.00, which is a sign that selling gold looks risky. I placed Fibonacci retracement to find potential resistance levels and got Fibonacci retracement 38.2% at the price of $1,127.00 (successfully held), Fibonacci retracement 50% at the price of $1,141.00, and the Fibonacci retracement 61.8% at the price of $1,157.00. According to Wyckoff analysis, we have strong accumulation and bottoming on gold, so watch only for buying opportunities on the dips (after bearish corrections). Anyway, to confirm further bullish movement, the price needs to break the level of $1,122.70.
EUR/CAD has been moving upwards for a very extended period of time in the longer time frame. In the smaller, H1 scale, the picture is very much alike: a very strong bullish trend with no signs of weakness.
The pair formed a strong resistance near 1.4450, that on the 11.08 was broken. The very same level has acted as support that was rejected, once again confirming the validity of the uptrend. The price remains above the 200 Moving average and this week rejected the ascending channel as well as an uptrend trendline.
As the trend remains so bullish, consider buying EUR/CAD today while it trades between the current level - the psychological support (1.4500) and S1 (1.4450). The R1 resistance - 161.8% Fibonacci retracement level (applied to the 31.07 high and 07.08 low) was broken and it would be reasonable to target next Fibs 261.8%, marked R2 (1.4752). To stay on the safe side, the stop loss must be well below S1; however, long trades with tight stop loss might also play out well.
The most important economic news from the US for today is the building permits number for the month of July. The number is expected to be at the level o f 1,230K; (-8.0% m/m) vs. 1,343K; (7.4% m/m) month ago. The decline in permits is evident, but any number better than expected will make the dollar surge. Please remember that the FOMC meting minutes are scheduled for the release tomorrow and the market might start slowly discounting the possible September rate hike.
The technical picture of EUR/USD is not helping the euro bulls much and any good news from the US later today might cause another wave down for this pair towards the support at the level of 1.1020.
Another set of data from UK is scheduled for release today at 8:30 GMT including consumer price index, core CPI, retail price index, and PPI input/output. All of them can update the inflation view for the rest of the year as at present the UK inflation is near zero (short deflation in April 2015). The core inflation is still well under 2% and most of this can be explained by a sharp fall in energy prices (overall positive for the economy). The consumer price index is expected to be lower than the previous reading: -0.3% m/m; 0.0% y/y vs. 0.0% m/m; 0.0% y/y. Moreover, the core CPI is expected at the level of 0.8% y/y, which is in line with the flash estimate. It means the prices mustn't rise in the month of July, nevertheless the recent sharp decline in commodity prices is likely to add fuel to the fire. So inflation expectations in the months ahead might still remain under downward pressure.
The technical picture of GBP/USD shows another clear rejection of the important demand breakthrough zone and decline towards the golden trend line. Any breakout above the level of 1.5689 is bullish, but after testing the zone eight times last month, the GBP/USD pair is likely to drop towards the lower support levels.
The Dollar index has broken the short-term resistance level of the 38% Fibonacci retracement and is trying to push higher towards the Ichimoku cloud on the 4-hour chart. However, the medium-term trend is bearish with a possible pullback towards the triangle support at 95.
The Dollar index has broken above the kijun-sen resistance (yellow line) and is heading towards the Ichimoku cloud. I expect to see price get rejected at that level and give new lows. I believe the downside is not over for the Dollar. Support is at 96.10 and resistance at 97.10.
The Dollar index remains inside the triangle pattern and is testing the 1st support area as shown by the blue rectangle areas. The Dollar index should push towards the lower triangle boundary towards 95. A break above the triangle will imply the start of a new uptrend towards new highs.
Gold price remains in a short-term bullish trend despite the longer-term bearish trend. Price is a making an upward bounce that could eventually push the metal towards $1,140-50 level. The $1,111 level is a key for the short-term trend while the $1,090 is critical support for the bullish trend.
Gold price is above the Ichimoku cloud. Price is making higher highs and higher lows after the breakout above the Ichimoku cloud. Support area is at $1,100. If $1,111 low is broken, we should see a pullback towards the cloud support. If resistance at $1,127 is broken, we should see a move higher towards $1,140.
The weekly chart remains bearish in the longer term, but the signs from last week for a possible bounce are now materializing. Bounce target remains at the $1,140-50 area where the tenkan- and kijun-sen indicators are found. Price is well below the Ichimoku cloud confirming a long-term bearish trend.
The 1-1 geometry between the waves a and c purple has been missed by 3 pips, nevertheless the corrective cycle in wave a green (alt:X brown) has been completed. Currently the corrective cycle in wave b green (alt:Y brown) continues. The key level for today is the intraday resistance at the level of 1.3156. Any breakout higher would be viewed as temporary bullish.
Daytraders should consider opening sell orders from the level of 1.3156 with tight SL (10-15 pips) and TP at the level of 1.3100.
As anticipated yesterday, the market reversed after testing the golden trend line resistance and currently is heading lower towards the technical support at the level of 137.34. Please notice that this corrective cycle might evolve into a more complex and time-consuming cycle, especially if the price falls lower into the neutral/range zone.
Yesterday's shorts should be closed now as the TP level has been hit. Currently traders should refrain from trading and wait for clear pattern to emerge soon.
Silver is seen to be trading around $15.25/30 levels, just ahead of its 50 DMA as seen here on the 4H chart view. Silver bulls would be wanting to target $15.90 levels to confirm that a meaningful bottom has been formed around $14.40/50 levels recently. The metal should be supported around $14.90/15.00 levels for now. It is still recommended to remain flat for now and await for a reaction at lower levels to commit further. Immediate support is seen at $14.90/15.00 levels, followed by $14.40/50 and lower while resistance is seen at $15.90 levels, followed by $16.40 and higher respectively.
Gold is unchanged from what was discussed yesterday and is seen to be trading around $1,118.00 levels at the moment. Please note that the 50 DMA is passing through $1,110.00 levels and the yellow metal could bounce from there, pushing it further into the $1,130.00/35.00 resistance zone. It is recommended to remain flat for now, and look to sell higher. Immediate support is seen at $1,110.00 levels, followed by $1,100.00, $1,090.00 and lower while resistance is seen at $1,130.00/35.00 levels, followed by $1,175.00 levels and higher respectively.
The EUR/JPY pair is correcting lower and is seen to be testing its 50 DMA around 137.50 levels for now. Please note that the cone consolidation resistance turned support is around 137.00 levels and the pair could bounce back higher if prices manage to reach there. Extension levels are seen at 139.40 and 140.50 levels respectively. It is recommended to initiate long positions around 137.00 levels with risk below 136.00 levels for now. Immediate support is seen at 137.00 levels, followed by 136.50/60, 135.50, 134.00 and lower while resistance is seen at 140.50 and higher respectively.
Remain flat for now, look to enter long around 137.00 levels.
The GBP/CHF pair is looking to form a rising channel after breaking below the immediate line of support. It has found interim resistance at 1.5350 levels for now. A break below the channel support is required to confirm further drop towards 1.4950 levels at least. On the flip side, a push above 1.5350 levels from here would indicate that a new high is in sight soon. It is recommended to remain short since yesterday with risk above 1.5400 levels. Immediate support is seen at 1.5150 levels (interim), followed by 1.5050 and lower, while resistance is seen at 1.5350 levels (interim), followed by 1.5410/30 and higher respectively.
Remain short with stop at 1.5450.
The decline from 1.7103 has become too deep to be part of wave B. It's more likely that wave C is already developing form 1.7103 for a decline towards 1.6327 and possibly even lower to 1.6035 before the next impulsive rally higher should be expected.
We have been fighting to figure out what the correction from the top of wave (v) 1.7054 would look like. The break back above 1.7054 told us that an expanded flat correction was unfolding, but wave B fell short of its ideal target at 1.7198. It has just been proved that mess with corrections is not the best idea.
We missed our short entry at 1.7185 and will stay neutral for now.
The inverse S/H/S neckline near 137.30 should provide support for a new rally above minor resistance at 138.40, confirming the next impulsive rally higher to at least 139.31 and likely even higher to 140.36 to end red wave v and wave iii.
Only a clear break below the neckline will frustrate the overall bullish picture, while a break below support at 136.49 will invalidate the bullish count.
We are still looking to buy EUR at 137.45 with stop placed at 136.45.
When the European market opens, no economic news from the eurozone is due today in the economic calendar. However, the US will release some economic reports such as the Housing Starts, Building Permits, and TIC Long-Term Purchases. So amid the reports, EUR/USD will move with low to medium volatility during this day.
In Asia, Japan will not release any economic data news, but the US will release some economic data such as Housing Starts, Building Permits, and TIC Long-Term Purchases. So there is a big probability the USD/JPY pair will move with low to medium volatility during the day.
EUR/USD: The EUR/USD pair did not move very much yesterday. The little movement that was seen was towards the downside - in the context of an uptrend. For the current bullish outlook to become illogical, the support lines at 1.1000 and 1.0950 must be broken to the downside: otherwise the price could make some renewed bullish attempts.
USD/CHF: This pair continues to move sideways while the overall outlook is bullish. What can invalidate the bullish outlook is an event when the price closes below the support level at 0.9650. But in case it does not happen, this week we can see some bullish attempts, especially if the USD tries to amass lots of stamina.
GBP/USD: The distribution territory at 1.5650 has done its job again on Monday, restricting bullish effort successfully. This distribution territory has flatly rejected sincere bullish efforts for the past several weeks, and the price has trended lower, moving below the distribution territory at 1.5600. The accumulation territory at 1.5550 could be tested easily today.
USD/JPY: The Big Picture on this currency trading instrument shows that there is no dominant trend in the market. Upswings and downswings are often short-lived and sustained trending moves are rather rare. It is expected that the price would either go above the supply level at 125.50 or below the demand level at 123.50. Should this happen, it would mean a strong bullish or bearish outlook.
EUR/JPY: The EUR/JPY pair moved downwards by only 50 pips yesterday. Now the price is close to the demand zone at 137.50; and there is another demand zone at 137.00. Serious buying pressure is, therefore, needed to send the price upwards again.
USDX is still trading above the support level of 96.57 and which could be in front of two possible scenarios. One of them is a rebound towards new highs, possibly doing a breakout around the 97.57 level. The other is a lower continuation below the support zone of 96.57 with a mid-term target towards the 95.50 level.
On H1 chart, USDX recovered some positions to the upside. Now, it's testing the 200 SMA price zone around the 96.88 level. A breakout over there will push the index to test the next resistance level of 97.37, which is above of that moving average. However, a pullback could happen until the 96.37 level before that possible rally.
Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place sell (short) orders only if the USD Index breaks with a bearish candlestick; the support level is at 96.37, take profit is at 95.94, and stop loss is at 96.28.
On the daily chart, GBP/USD made a pullback at the resistance level of 1.5640 and the ground is ready for a test around 200 SMA, exactly at the support zone of 1.5543. Remember that a breakout there to the downside will enable the pair to visit the support level of 1.5450 on a mid-term basis. MACD indicator is entering the neutral territory.
The short-term outlook is calling for a rebound at the support level of 1.5587, where the 200 SMA is located on the H1 chart. This scenario is possible thanks to the overall trend, which the GBP/USD pair is following on a long-term basis, but we shouldn't discard a breakout towards the support level of 1.5532 in the coming hours.
Trading recommendations for today: Based on the H1 chart, place buy (long) orders only if the GBP/USD pair breaks a bullish candlestick; the resistance level is at 1.5632, take profit is at 1.5679, and stop loss is at 1.5583.
However, a bullish pullback towards 1.5550-1.5600 was expected to take place shortly after, as suggested in the previous articles.
Our SELL entry which was suggested around 1.5600 got triggered last week. An early exit should be considered if the current daily candlestick maintains its closure above 1.5600.
A better SELL entry with a lower risk/reward ratio may be offered around the price level of 1.5780 (the upper limit of the consolidation range and the backside of the broken uptrend) if enough bullish pressure is expressed.
Moreover, risky traders can SELL the GBP/USD pair upon daily closure below 1.5525. Initial bearish target would be located at 1.5450.

Progress Report of the High Level Group on SME Access to Public Procurement
Minister of State with Special Responsibility for Public Procurement, Simon Harris T.D., and Minister for Business and Employment, Ged Nash, T.D., launched the Office of Government Procurement's Progress Report of the High Level Group on SME Access to Public Procurement on 7 January.
The report was produced by the Office of Government Procurement (OGP), in conjunction with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
Welcoming the report, Minister Harris said:
"This is further evidence of the Government's ongoing commitment to ensuring that SMEs secure their share of valuable public procurement. We are aware of the importance of this sector to the economy and their role in creating jobs right around the country.
In 2013, the Office of Government Procurement, in conjunction with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, established a High Level Group on SME Access to Public Procurement. The Government currently spends in the region of €8.5 billion on goods and services each year, in addition to approximately €3.5 billion spent on public works. This represents important opportunities for SMEs who access public procurement. Our commitment to ensuring SME participation in these opportunities led to the establishment of the High Level Group. The High Level Group is focused on the establishment of strategies and policies which continue to support SMEs in accessing public procurement opportunities."
Commenting on the report, Minister Nash said:
"We are delighted to be centrally involved in the work of the High Level Group and to now have an evidence base for the work. SMEs account for 99.7% of all enterprises and 68% of employment in the Irish economy. SMEs are vital to our continued national economic recovery, as they provide and create employment. The High Level Group on SME Access to Public Procurement has been working to develop and monitor strategies to support SMEs accessing public procurement, including tendering skills development and Meet the Buyer events".

Snowflake's offering heralds in a new way of managing and sharing data
Snowflake, the cloud data platform, has launched a Private Data Exchange offering to break down data barriers.
The centralised and internally managed data hub proposes to enable organisations to privately share data sets with a select group of people within their chosen ecosystem for collaborative, informed decision making.
Snowflake CEO Frank Slootman says, "The Private Data Exchange represents the future of managing and sharing data broadly and securely inside enterprise and institutional boundaries.
"The data exchange model will become the deployment standard for exploring, discovering and sharing data enterprise-wide."
Snowflake first announced The Snowflake Data Exchange, a public marketplace built on Snowflake's secure data sharing technology in June, 2019 at Snowflake Summit, Snowflake's annual user conference.
The Snowflake Data Exchange enables data consumers to discover, access and generate insights from data publicly listed by Snowflake data providers.
The newly announced Private Data Exchange enables organisations to create their own branded, internal or private ecosystem version of a data marketplace with complete control over what data assets are listed and who has access to them.
While other data exchanges provide access to third-party data, the Snowflake Private Data Exchange is the only platform that enables customers to securely and privately access real-time second-party and alternative data sources on a large scale.
According to Snowflake, key benefits of Private Data Exchange include:
Centralised place for business analytics and data science teams to browse and access data in a secure and curated environment.
Improved data integrity, increased security and shortened time-to-insights without the burdens of ETL processes and associated costs.
Direct access from the customer's Snowflake account with the option to invite others to become data providers and data consumers.
Secure bi-directional data interchange with third-party vendors to help augment internal datasets.
Ability to monetise data sets through securely sharing them with customers for a fee.
Organisations can also use Snowflake's Private Data Exchange to evaluate new data assets within their data ecosystem or with the option of 'tunneling' in data assets from Snowflake's Public Data Exchange, the company states.
Forrester Research reports that 90% of global data and analytics decision makers are making it a priority to improve the use of data and analytics insights in their business.
According to Snowflake, a range of businesses, institutions and other data-forward organisations across industries can leverage the benefits of the Private Data Exchange with their growing interest in making informed business decisions bolstered by high quality, real-time data.

This week we joined Free Radio breakfast presenters, JD and Roisin at their costume fittings for their highly anticipated guest appearance in Aladdin, on Mon 22 December at 7pm.
Writer and director, Iain Lauchlan who stars as the Dame, Widow Twankey, invited his Free Radio friends back to join him on stage following their successful appearance in last year's panto, Jack and the Beanstalk.
During the fitting they tried on a variety of costumes from Citizens of Peking, Royal Servants to Mummies. Both presenters are big fans of the Belgrade panto and are very excited to take centre stage once again.
You can view a selection of photo highlights from the costume fitting by clicking on the image gallery on the right.
Let's hope there are no wardrobe malfunctions.

Home /National/Breaking National News/Beyond gun control: Will Obama's plans make schools safer?
(AXcess News) – Many education groups applauded President Obama's proposals and executive actions Wednesday – particularly the broad gun-control agenda that took center stage because of the high-powered weapon used in an attack on schoolchildren and staff in Newtown,Conn.,and other recent mass shootings.
Mr. Obama's recommendations range from more funding for school police,counselors,and emergency planning to training for educators to detect signs of mental illness among students.
But is the stage really set for the federal government to make a large-scale difference in school safety? Or,as some experts suggest,will a flurry of attention to the issue fade off priority lists for schools in this tight-budget era,much the way it did after the initial post-Columbine focus on bullying and school safety?
Providing incentives for schools to hire more school resource officers (SROs) was one of the 23 executive actions Obama took Wednesday. He also proposed $150 million to place an additional 1,000 SROs,counselors,or psychologists in schools.
Resource officers are "particularly valuable for prevention … [because] students who hear veiled threats and warnings that often precede rampage shootings feel most comfortable turning to SROs,who they believe will be responsive but discreet," writes Katherine Newman,author of "Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings" and a dean at Johns Hopkins University,in an e-mail.
Comprehensive School Safety grants – schools that receive a portion of the $150 million mentioned above for resource officers or counselors could also use part of the money for buying safety equipment,conducting threat assessments,and training crisis-intervention teams.
A requirement that schools receiving federal funding for safety develop and practice emergency plans. While 84 percent of schools had a written response plan for a shooting in 2010,only 52 percent had drilled their students in the past year,according to the White House. This spring,a set of model plans will be made available,and $30 million in grants is proposed to help districts develop their own plans.
"Today,looking into the eyes of parents who have lost children due to gun violence,I am more committed than ever," said Mr. Duncan,charged by the president to launch a national dialogue on mental health along with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
The comprehensive plan pleases the major teachers unions. "We must have not only meaningful action on preventing gun violence,but also bullying prevention and much greater access to mental-health services,so that educators and families can identify problems and intervene before it's too late," said Dennis Van Roekel,president of the National Education Association,in a statement Wednesday.
Some school-safety experts,however,say the focus on gun control in the national dialogue since Sandy Hook has been out of proportion,given how rare mass shootings are in schools.
School safety has become mere "window dressing," with very few practical resources being offered to help principals make their schools safer and ease parents' anxiety,says Kenneth Trump,president of National School Safety and Security Services in Cleveland.
Obama's proposal to help schools hire an additional 1,000 SROs and counselors "is not even a drop in the bucket," Mr. Trump says. Just $150 million was proposed for that,plus $30 million for helping schools improve their emergency plans – compared with more than $400 million this administration has poured into its signature Race to the Top grants to improve schools' academic performance,he notes.
But others say some programs have been cut due to lack of proven effectiveness,and there shouldn't be too quick a move to restore such funding without careful scrutiny.
"Given the fiscal climate in Washington,there's not going to be new dollars,so the question is: Will these [proposals for school safety] be funded instead of other educational programs?" says Frederick Hess,director of education policy studies at American Enterprise Institute in Washington.
School safety experts say such drills don't have to take much additional time. Instead,they can be woven into the regular schedule alongside routines such as fire drills.
Any support – whether financial or technical advice that the government can give to improve training for law-enforcement officers who work in schools will be welcome and will boost safety,says Augustine Pescatore,president of the National Association of School Safety and Law Enforcement Officials (NASSLEO).
"In school policing,you have discretion," says Mr. Pescatore,who is commander of the Philadelphia school district's police force but spoke on behalf of NASSLEO,not the district. A good school officer doesn't jump to arrest every student who acts out,he says,but instead notices if he looks disheveled or has complained of stomach trouble,and talks to him about whether he's hungry or is having trouble at home.
More training along those lines,Pescatore says,could do a lot to ease concerns of critics who say that police in schools are creating a "school-to-prison pipeline" – with many students being criminalized for what should be school-based disciplinary matters.
For civil-rights groups,the proposals were a mixed bag,largely because of such concerns.
"There are myriad proposals on this list that promise to be effective in preventing or reducing gun violence,including positive interventions to improve school climate and safety. We hope that schools will … steer clear of increasing law enforcement in schools. With such little benefit,the negative consequences are simply too great," said Leslie Proll,director of the Washington office of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund,in a statement Wednesday.
The degree to which Obama's proposals will ultimately be enacted largely depends on Congress. In the coming weeks,the House Committee on Education and the Workforce plans to hold hearings to examine school safety.

Balboa Victory Dental wants you to have a beautiful and healthy smile. Most people who are unhappy with the appearance of their teeth do not realize the numerous ways general and cosmetic dentistry can heal a smile. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry can correct crooked teeth, spaces between your teeth, stained or discolored teeth, chipped teeth, broken or missing teeth and having a "gummy" smile. Dr. Menalagha can work with you to create a customized dental care treatment plan based on your age, goals, and your financial comfort level.
You may be quite happy with the size and alignment of your teeth. However, time tends to dull or yellow their surface. Balboa Victory offers several teeth whitening programs, including at-home treatments and professional treatments in the office. A brilliant smile may be as close as a single whitening treatment away and is an affordable method of enhancing your overall appearance.
When your teeth are missing, your smile undergoes significant changes. Missing teeth cause you to chew differently, experience mouth pain, and, as your remaining teeth work to compensate for the loss, gaps and spaces form that only make the situation worse. A porcelain bridge, custom designed by Dr. Menalagha, keeps your smile aligned and your bite functional. Bridges are anchored to existing teeth or crowns on either side of the missing tooth. They are semi-permanent, meaning they can only be affixed or removed by a dentist and are a long-term restorative solution to your damaged smile.
When the decay has been taken out of the tooth, it is replaced with "filling" material. In the past, amalgam (silver) fillings were placed into the cleaned out portion of the tooth. With advancements in dentistry, you can now have tooth-colored fillings instead of silver fillings resulting in a brighter, whiter smile.
Bonding refers to the placement of tooth-colored resin by a dentist to correct chipped and broken teeth, discolored teeth and in some cases, spaces between teeth. Bonding is generally considered more conservative than veneers or other cosmetic dentistry. The benefits of bonding include the ability to maintain the natural structure of the tooth and the ability to color and sculpt the resin to create natural looking teeth. Like a natural tooth, the resin may stain with the use of coffee or other staining foods.
It is important to address missing teeth for several reasons. Your ability to speak correctly and to chew the foods you love goes a long way in ensuring your self-confidence. Keeping your natural tooth function helps prevent the breakdown of the bone and other supportive structures of your jaw.
A natural smile and a perfect fit – are two of our primary denture goals. A proper fitting set of dentures is very important, as a good fit ensures that your dentures will allow you to retain much of your function. Your custom-fit dentures from Balboa Victory Dental will keep you looking and feeling healthy and will help you retain a natural lifestyle.
Your teeth undergo a tremendous amount of wear and tear during your lifetime. Teeth may show this wear in a variety of ways, including discoloration, chipping and cracking. Crowns restore your teeth and your smile to look brilliant once again. Porcelain crowns can be made out of porcelain pressed to metal or are porcelain throughout and can be shaded to match your other teeth. Crowns made of precious metal are also an option. After some tooth preparation, crowns are specially fitted to give you back the look and functionality of your smile. If you have pain when chewing or temperature sensitivity, ask our dentist if crowns are for you.
