Amplitude of the last 5 days (high-low): 73p - 78p - 90p - 121p - 70p.
The average amplitude for the last 5 days is 86n (83p).
For the pair EUR / USD, correction began. Thus, now it is recommended to consider shorts in small lots with the aim of Kijun-sen line. In case of overcoming this line, the sell-positions can be increased with targets of about 1.1400.
Long positions can be opened if the MACD indicator turns up or the price bounces off the Kijun-sen line. In this case, the bulls will have a good opportunity to continue the uptrend with the target of 1.1632, which is recommended to be rejected.
Quick bearish decline took place towards 0.6700-0.6800 where the narrow ranged consolidation range was established.
Conservative traders should wait for a deeper bullish pullback towards 0.6750 for a low-risk SELL entry. S/L should be placed above 0.6850.
The growth of the current week is an impulse, which allows considering purchases at the test of significant support zones. The main support is a control zone at 1.2815-1.2803, the test of which will give favorable prices for the opening of purchases.
Yesterday, the pair reached the weekly control zone of 1.2925-1.2901, which allowed implementing the priority upward model. To continue its increase, it will be necessary to close one of the American sessions above this zone. the pair is trading within the first support of the a control zone at 1.2875-1.2869. If the closing of the American session occurs above this zone, then purchases can be made from current marks. The main support is the a control zone, where the fate of the upward momentum will be determined. It is required that the closing of the American session occurred above the level of 1.2803 to resume its uptrend. This will allow you to hold a long position to the next target zone.
Purchases from current levels are also profitable because the risk-to-profit ratio when updating the weekly extremum will be 1 to 3, provided that the stop-loss is set lower than today's local minimum.
To form a reversal pattern, the growth absorption that occurred on Tuesday and the close of the US session below level 1.2803 will be required. This will cancel the purchase and allow you to search for profitable prices for sale tomorrow. The first goal of the fall will be the August low. Do not forget that sales from current levels are not profitable and the probability of a reversal pattern is 30%, which makes it only ancillary.
The weekly CP is the weekly control zone. The zone is formed by marks from important futures market which change several times a year.
The GBP / USD pair reversed in favor of the US dollar without the formation of a bearish divergence or rebound on the 4-hour chart. As a result, the drop in quotations could be continued on August 23 in the direction of the correction level of 261.8% at 1.2638. Brewing divergences are also not notice today. or a more accurate picture of what is happening, go to the lower time frame chart.
On the hourly chart, the pair executed a reversal in favor of the US currency after the formation of a bearish divergence in the MACD indicator and fixation under the correction level of 38.2% at 1.2872. As a result, the drop in quotations can be continued in the direction of the next correction level of 23.6% at 1.2791. Fixing the rate of the pair above the Fibo level of 38.2% will work in favor of the British currency and the resumption of growth towards the correction level of 50.0% at 1.2937.
The Fibo grid was established on boundaries from July 26, 2018 and August 15, 2018.
Purchases of the GBP / USD pair will be possible with the target of 1.2937 and a stop loss order under the correction level of 38.2% if it closes above the Fibo level of 1.2872 on the hourly chart.
Sales of the GBP / USD pair can now be carried out with the target of 1.2791 and a Stop Loss order above the correction level of 38.2%, as there was a close under the Fibo level of 1.2882.
According to the H4 time - frame, I found that BTC price rejected from the strong resistance zone ($6.803) in the background, which is a sign that buying looks risky. My advice is to watch for selling opportunities. The downward target is set at the price of $5.845.
The protocol of the FOMC meeting, published on Wednesday, did not contain any surprises, confirming the intention to raise the rate in September. The markets did not react to the publication of the protocol.
On Thursday morning, the probability of a rate increase, according to the CME futures market data, is 96%, which can be considered a sign of complete unanimity. The outlook for December is more cautious, as long as the probability of an increase is 66.1%, that is, the market lays fears in its expectations about the negative dynamics of some important US indicators by the end of the year.
The first such indicator is inflation. At present, the markets are almost unanimous in that inflation in the US is growing, however, by some indications, this growth is far from being so convincing. The yield on the 5-year inflation-protected bonds "Tips" peaked at 2.16% on May 16, but then declined for three months, as of August 20 it fell to 1.95%, which is a minimum of more than 4 months . The profitability of Tips reflects the real view of the business on inflation processes, that is, at the moment the business is focused on slowing the growth of inflation.
Two other indicators, GDP growth and the labor market, still look confident, the risks look balanced, and the negative in the emerging markets in the text of the protocol was almost bypassed. The trade wars were elucidated in the key of the increased uncertainty of their influence on further measures of monetary policy, and the importance of the inversion of the yield curve was ignored by the FOMC members.
Thus, the FOMC rate remains stable, there is no reason to revise it, this is the most important conclusion from yesterday's protocol. This position automatically means orientation to a strong dollar, which should lead, among other things, to the compression of the monetary base (DB).
The contraction of DB in December 2016 led to a serious panic in the markets and a sharp increase in the dollar index. At the moment, the reduction of DB is not observed, although taking into account the correlation between DB and the balance of the FRS, this is inevitable.
Thus, objective factors indicate that the dollar should continue to grow in the long term. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that the continuation of the policy of the Fed will lead to an increase in the problems of emerging markets due to tightening of financial conditions.
Tomorrow at the annual symposium in Jackson-Hole, Fed Chairman Powell will speak, which will reveal the theme of "monetary policy in a changing economy" from the point of view of the Fed. Speech can lead to increased volatility. Also on Friday, you need to pay attention to the publication of data on orders for durable goods in July.
Euro will hold the day in the range, preparing for a resumption of resistance 1.1620. Support for 1.1530.
For the pound are the same levels as the day before, resistance 1.2955 and 1.3050, strong movement is unlikely, the pound will be traded in the range with a tendency to increase.
Oil continues to rise after the release of data from the US Energy Ministry, which showed a significant reduction in inventories. Brent closed the day at 74.90, the growth was 2.9%, today during the day there may be a corrective decrease to 73.50, this is the nearest significant support.
The ruble is subject to strong and large-scale pressure from the US, which is probably tied to the upcoming November elections to the Congress. Again on the agenda is the threat of a ban on trading in Russia's sovereign debt and on transactions with state-owned banks, prospects remain uncertain, there are no weighty reasons for waiting for improvement.
At the same time, the threat of new sanctions being introduced in their most severe form seems unlikely, and extreme scenarios for the ruble are not realized. As long as the pressure continues, the ruble will softly devalue, remaining within the range close to current levels. Until the end of the week, the ruble is likely to rise above 69 rubles / dollar.
The upward movement of the current week is a medium-term impulse, therefore the main support will be made by the NCP 1/2 1.1531-1.1522. While the pair is trading above this zone, purchases remain a priority.
The most favorable prices for purchase, in conditions of medium-term bullish momentum, are within the limits of the NCP 1/2 1.1531-1.1522, formed from the maximum of the current week. When constructing a plan, it is necessary to take into account the closeness of the monthly short-term fault to a weekly extremum, which slightly reduces the amount of potential profit. The upward movement will remain the main one as long as the pair trades above the NCP 1/2, so purchases are profitable, since the probability of updating the weekly maximum is 70%.
The variant with the continuation of growth without a test NCP 1/2 is better not to be considered since the risk-to-profit ratio of this model will be less than 1 to 3. At the distance, such transactions do not give the necessary advantage.
To cancel the upward momentum and the formation of a medium-term correctional model, closing of today's American session below the level of 1.1522 is required. This will allow us to look for favorable prices for the sale of the instrument tomorrow. The probability of forming this model is 30%, so work on it will be auxiliary to the main ascending one. The level of 1.1611 is significant, as above it there was a large number of limit orders for sale in early August, and yesterday's level test confirmed their availability, not at this time.
The currency pair EUR / USD on the 4-hour chart reversed in favor of the US currency, after the bearish divergence of the CCI indicator, and the fall to the correctional level of 50.0% - 1.1546. The cut-off of quotes from the Fibo level of 50.0% will allow traders to count on a turn in favor of the euro and some growth in the direction of the correction level of 61.8% - 1,1603. The consolidation of the pair's rate below the Fibo level of 50.0% will increase the chances of the pair to further fall towards the next correction level of 38.2% - 1.1490.
On the 24-hour chart, the pair performed fixing above the correction level of 100.0% - 1.1553. Thus, the growth of quotations can be continued in the direction of the next Fibo level of 76.4% - 1.1789. August 23, there are no signs of divergence in any indicator. Fixing the pair under the correction level of 100.0% can be interpreted as a reversal in favor of the US currency and expect a slight decline towards the corrective level of 127.2% - 1.1285.
Purchases of the EUR / USD pair will be possible with the aim of 1,1603 with a Stop Loss order under the Fibo level of 50.0% if the pair retires from the correction level of 1.1546.
Sales of the EUR / USD pair will be possible with the target of 1,1490 if the pair completes the closing at the Fibo level of 50.0%, with a Stop Loss order above 1.1546.
Previous review on 08/15/2018 17:39 UTC + 3.
The development of the EUR / USD movement on August 23 - September 1, 2018 will be due to the development of the boundaries of the equilibrium zone (1.1510 <-> 1.1575 <-> 1.1640) of the operational scale Minute. Traditionally - when making trading decisions, do not forget to take into account the development of the #USDX movement (review from 17:37 on 08/22/2018 UTC + 3).
The marking of the mining of the above-mentioned levels of the Minute equilibrium zone is shown in the graph.

On Wednesday, August 22, the US dollar continues to lose ground within the framework of technical correction. Most of Trump's latest statements and events on the world stage did not attract the attention of traders. Thus, for example, Trump's accusations against Jerome Powell and the entire Fed about too tight monetary tightening were ignored. The publication of the minutes of the last meeting of the Fed is expected tonight, but this document is unlikely to be anything interesting, given the fact that the rate at the previous meeting was not increased, but almost with 100% probability will be increased at the next. Thus, most likely, this report will not change the nature of the trades. Although the dollar itself is becoming more expensive by the very publication of this document. It should also be noted that, most likely, traders are waiting for the results of negotiations between China and the States, which began today, and will be completed tomorrow. A lot will depend on the outcome of the talks in the world, although we believe that the parties will not be able to come to a common denominator and the negotiations will end with nothing. In this case, just the US dollar may begin to rise again, as traders can again regard an event of the kind, as the strength of the US leader and the future improvement of the state of the economy, due to improved trading conditions and a reduction in the balance deficit. In practice, everything may not be so rosy, but now it does not matter. What is important is what most traders will do if they receive such a message. And with a high probability, in this case, the market will buy the American currency.
The pair EUR / USD continues to move up. There are no signals to the beginning of correction at the moment. Thus, it is recommended to stay in long positions with targets of 1.1632 and 1.1671. Turning MACD down will be a signal to the manual closing of the longs.
Short positions can be considered small lots if the MACD indicator turns down, which will mean a corrective movement (at least), with targets of support levels 1.1539 and 1.1507.
The price tested the support line of the symmetrical triangle (red thick line), but not anymore. Candlestick analysis and volumes also moved down. Moreover, the prices still cannot break through the receding level of 23.6%, only by testing this level. This may well suffice for a black receding day.
On Thursday, despite the fact that the week is white, the market can work down on quite strong signals for a comprehensive analysis with the first target of 1.1548 a retracement level of 23.6% (yellow dotted line). There is a strong calendar news, which can make an adjustment in the price movement.
On Thursday, the price will move down with the first target of 1.1548 and the recession level of 23.6% (yellow dotted line).
New long positions are best to open after the pound is reduced to the support area of 1.2875 or immediately to a rebound from the level of 1.2845. The main goal of buyers will be to update the weekly maximum of 1.2943, where I recommend fixing the profits.
It is best to consider short positions in the pound after updating the resistance in the area of 1.2943 or after returning and fixing under the large support level of 1.2875, which will lead to a more serious pressure with a return to 1.2845. The main goal of the sellers will be a minimum of 1.2814, where I recommend fixing the profits.
The dollar index continues to decline today, as well as the yield of 10-year Treasury. The market is still reacting to the position of Donald Trump, who exerts public pressure on the Fed, expressing dissatisfaction with the tightening of monetary policy. The dollar sank almost in all pairs, including paired with the pound. The British currency has its own reasons for cautious optimism: London and Brussels have announced preparations for the final stage of Brexit negotiations, outlining the timeframe. Although the key controversial issues are still not resolved, the peace-loving tone of the negotiators provided support to the British, who was able to return to the framework of the 29th figure.
Let me remind you that earlier in the market there were very contradictory rumors. According to one information, the negotiations should start from day to day, other sources claimed that the UK will be dragging out negotiations until November, hoping for the support of Donald Trump, who will attend the G20 summit. As a result, both assumptions were confirmed: now the negotiations will be conducted constantly, so to speak, in the "background" mode, and the time frame for concluding a framework agreement in November of this year, plus or minus a week. The parties recognize that London and Brussels have approached the final stage of the talks, during this round either a deal will be concluded, or Britain will withdraw from the EU without any agreements. In general, there is very little time left. It is not enough to find a common compromise, all 27 EU countries, as well as MEPs, will have to ratify the Brexit treaty.
Given the fact that the parties intend to sign a deal by the end of November, and Brexit is scheduled for March 29, the time really "is short". Therefore, by and large, negotiators have only one attempt to find a common denominator in complex issues. First of all, we are talking about the Irish border. Yesterday, at a joint press conference, representatives of the EU and Britain recognized that this issue is the most problematic, since it lies solely on the political plane. By the way, according to some experts, the problem of the Irish border is crucial for Brexit, as soon as a compromise is found here, the chances of concluding a deal will increase in many respects. Therefore, tracing the negotiation process, traders should pay attention to this aspect.
By and large, the negotiators did not say anything new yesterday. But the bulls GBP / USD found their advantages in their rhetoric. First, the parties promised to speed up the process of finding a compromise, and secondly, they voiced the time guidelines. The market is already used to the idea that at this stage of the negotiations, London and Brussels will have the last chance to agree. Now, there is a clear timeframe and the so-called deadline. It is unlikely that these factors will provide long-term support to the pound, but in the short term, the pound got a reason for corrective growth.
Further prospects for price correction will depend on the behavior of the dollar. Ahead of the Greenback a few heavy days: today will be published the protocol of the Fed, tomorrow we can learn the first results of the visit of the Chinese delegation to the US, and on Friday the market will monitor the speech of the head of the Fed in Jackson Hole. In addition, Donald Trump can again strike a verbal blow at the dollar with his rhetoric - judging by the latest speeches, he will react sharply to the tightening of monetary policy. Jerome Powell has not yet responded to the attacks of the US president, but if this week he comments on the criticism of Trump, then we can talk about the beginning of their correspondence confrontation. This fact will undoubtedly increase the pressure on the American currency.
From the technical point of view, the situation for the GBP / USD pair is not unique. On the daily chart, the price is on the midline of the Bollinger Bands indicator, which is in the extended channel. This indicates a flat "outset" without a certain vector of motion. But if the pair fixates over the Kijun-sen line (that is, above the 1.2930 mark), the indicator Ichimoku Kinko Hyo will form the signal "Golden Cross", which will indicate a break in the southern trend. Such an arrangement will increase the likelihood of an upward movement with the main target 1.3190 (the lower boundary of the Kumo cloud on the daily chart). In turn, the support level is the price of 1.2780 - this is the Tenkan-sen line.
As you can see, the general situation for the pound / dollar pair remains uncertain, both from the point of view of the "foundation" and the technical side. Only fixing the price above 1.2930 will allow us to speak with certain certainty about the priority of the northern movement.
While hedge funds and asset managers form the largest net short position in gold over the past 17 years, and investors are throwing off ETF products for 13 consecutive weeks, which is the longest period of losses since 2013, the Bank of Russia is not tired of buying precious metals . In July, he purchased 26.1 tons, having shown the most serious activity since November. As a result, gold reserves reached 2170 tons, which is equivalent to $ 77.4 billion. In an effort to get rid of dollar dependence in the face of economic sanctions, Moscow actively diversifies its reserves by dropping US Treasury bonds and buying precious metals.
While many investors are frightened by the rapid build-up of speculative short positions, others, on the contrary, say that reaching extreme levels is fraught with a sharp rise in prices. If there is an important information occasion. And he did not take long to wait. Donald Trump's statement about discontent with the monetary policy pursued by the Fed allowed the "bulls" in XAU / USD to go over to a counterattack and withdrew quotations from the field of a half-year bottom.
Everyone knows perfectly well that the main culprit of all the ills of gold is a strong dollar. Their 120-day inverse correlation exceeds 0.6, which is the maximum indicator for all assets of the commodity market. For comparison, the connection with US Treasury bonds is estimated at -0.2. As for the outflow of capital from specialized exchange funds, the demand for their products, as a rule, follows the price, and not vice versa.
What's next? When unemployment is in the region of half a century of low, consumer prices are looking towards 3%, and GDP is ready to grow by 4% and higher for the second consecutive quarter, the Fed can afford to continue the cycle of normalizing monetary policy. At the same time, history knows examples when the aggressive monetary restriction of the Central Bank led the US economy to recession. The probability of a recession in 2020 is constantly increasing. And this clearly does not satisfy Donald Trump, who will have to participate in the presidential election with a view to re-election during this period. Hence the dissatisfaction with the activities of Jerome Powell.
Thus, the further dynamics of the precious metal is directly related to the fate of the dollar and the response of the chairman of the Fed to the US president. The next opportunity will be presented to him at the meeting of the world's leading bankers in Jackson Hole. It is doubtful that Powell went to open confrontation. Most likely, he will focus on macroeconomic statistics. However, if the markets consider the rhetoric of the head of the Central Bank "pigeon", the sale of the US currency will continue, which will allow gold to continue the southern campaign.
Technically, after reaching the target of 261.8% and 113% for the patterns AB = CD and "Double top", a natural rollback followed. If the "bulls" manage to storm the resistance by $ 1209 per ounce, the risks of development of correction to the downward trend will increase.
Recently, the GBP/USD pair has been trading downwards. The price tested the level of 1.2849. According to the M15 time – frame, I found a potential double top pattern in the background, which is a sign that buying looks risky. I also found rejection from pivot cluster at the price of 1.2910 (weekly R2), which is another sign of weakness. My advice is to watch for potential selling opportunities. The downward targets are set at the price of 1.2836 and at the price of 1.2806.
Published on Wednesday, the minutes of the last meeting of the Federal Reserve on monetary policy clearly showed that at the September meeting on the 26th, the regulator is going to once again raise interest rates by 0.25%.
The minutes of the meeting showed the Fed's clear intention to raise interest rates at the September meeting. This was explained by the need to compensate for the strong growth of the economy, so that this did not cause its overheating with a further negative prospect of falling into a recession. In addition, the members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) made it clear that they are alarmed by the uncertainty factor due to trade wars that could damage the national economy. The regulator also reported that it will continue the process of increasing the cost of borrowing, until the level is no longer stimulating the economy, but also not hindering its development rates. Another important point is the elimination of the phrase from the context of the protocol and in general the lexicon of the Federal Reserve that rates are stimulating.
In the wake of the publication of the minutes, the US dollar gained support against all major currencies. Perhaps, its further strengthening will intensify if negotiations between the U.S. and China on customs duties fail. In this case, the dollar will again be treated as the safe-haven currency on a par with the yen, the Swiss franc and US Treasury government bonds.
And there really is such a prospect. Today, China's commerce ministry reported that China will file a complaint to the WTO (World Trade Organization) on US tariffs. In addition, it was stated that it was strongly opposed to American duties and would be forced to continue to take retaliatory measures. Such a statement may indicate two things. On the one hand, the talks have not yet begun, and the Chinese are raising the stakes before the meeting. On the other hand, they are already on the way, it's just that this is not yet advertised and such a statement indicates problems that can lead to another inability of the parties to agree.
If this scenario takes place, it can be expected that it will cause a new wave of fears for the future of the world economy and a decline in investors' interest in buying risky assets. This will definitely cause demand for the US dollar, which, while receiving support, against the background of the process of the Fed's interest rate hike, will only increase its pressure on the foreign exchange markets.
The EUR/USD pair is testing the level of 1.1550 on the wave of continuing expectations of a rate hike from the Fed. The fall of the pair could intensify if the ECB's minutes shows a high degree of caution in the regulator's desire to change its monetary course. Against this background, the pair may fall after overcoming the level of 1.1550 to 1.1500, with the prospect of a decline to 1.1445.
The AUD/USD pair remains under pressure in anticipation of the outcome of the meeting between the Americans and the Chinese. A fall below 0.7285 could cause the price to drop to 0.7240 or even lower, to 0.7200.
The AUD/USD pair continued to move upwards from the level of 0.7300. Since yesterday, the pair has risen from the level of 0.7299 (the level of 0.7299 coincides with the ratio of 38.2% Fibonacci Expansion) to the top around 0.7359. In consequence, the AUD/USD pair broke resistance at 0.7329, which turned into strong support at the level of 0.7329. In the H1 time frame, the level of 0.7299 is expected to act as major support today. Currently, the price is moving in a bullish channel. This is confirmed by the RSI indicator signaling that we are still in a bullish market. The price is still above the moving average (100) and (50). From this point, we expect the AUD/USD pair to continue moving in the bullish trend from the support level of 0.7359 towards the target level of 0.7400. If the pair succeeds in passing through the level of 0.7400, the market will indicate the bullish opportunity above the level of 0.7400 so as to reach the second target at 0.7454 (the double top). At the same time, if the AUD/USD pair is able to break out the level of 0.7329, the market will decline further to 0.7263.
The Gold price made a short-term spike above $1,200 but price soon after pulled back as expected towards $1,190. The price has broken out and below of the short-term bullish channel and is now pulling back. We cannot say confidently if a major low is in or this bounce was part of the larger decline that will eventually push us towards $1,140.
The Gold price is pulling back down. The pice should reach at least the 38% Fibonacci retracement if not the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement. The fact that price remains below $1,200 increases the chances of the bearish scenario that this was only a short-term bounce. If the Gold price continues to make lower lows and lower highs and breaks below $1,174, we should expect $1,140 to be seen. Keep also an eye on the USD/CNY and how the negotiations for the trade talks between US and China proceed. More tariffs on Chinese products will increase the chances of a Yuan devaluation and thus Gold will move lower as it is very positively correlated to CNY.
Today's night was extremely interesting for people following the situation in the Pacific and Asian countries. The main topic is the situation in Australia where plenty of things happened.
On Thursday, the 23rd of August, the event calendar is quite busy with important data releases. during the European session, investors' eyes will be directed to the publication of PMI data from the Eurozone countries and the minutes from the last meeting of the ECB. During the US session, the USA will publish Unemployment Claims, ISM Manufacturing, Composite PMI and New Home Sales data.
Australia and New Zealand Banking Group (ANZ) has started a series of important events in Australia. The bank has published the latest ANZ Stateometer. It shows that in the second quarter of the year, in four states accounting for nearly 90% of the country's GDP, there was a slowdown. In addition, all fell below the economic growth trend line.
Australian dollar reacted to this fact by a sudden weakening, and then another negative information appeared for the country. Australian Finance Minister Mathias Cormann resigned. What's more, he said that Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has no party support and should also resign.
During a press conference called by the Australian Prime Minister, he said he was not going to give up his position. He added that if he receives a letter in which the majority of party members will be in favor of his dismissal, then he will give up and resign from returning to being a senator. In addition, the forthcoming deliberations of the Australian Parliament were postponed until September 10.
As if that was not enough, Australia decided to prohibit the Huawei phone manufacturer from participating in the construction of mobile infrastructure in the country. For now, China's answer is unknown, but the markets expect some retaliation.
Let's now take a look at the AUD/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. The Australian dollar, as a result of all reports, became the weakest currency overnight. The scale of falls was not very big, AUDUSD dived about 50 pips, but when Europe joins the trade, traders may see further declines. The nearest technical support is seen at the level of 0.7278, just below the 50% Fibo retracements of the last swing up. The other important level is 61% Fibo at 0.7271, so if this one is violated, then the market might try to test the support at the level of 0.7246. On the other hand, the nearest resistance is seen at the level of 0.7342.
The Google Play store on Android has recently become the home of another application for the Ethereum fraud.
Lukas Stefanko, a malware researcher from Slovakia, found a fake application called "Ethereum" on Google Play, which was offered at a price of 335 euros or about 388 dollars. In yesterday's tweet, the researcher pointed out that the purchase of applications is not the same as buying Ethereum, which suggests that his latest discovery is a cryptographic fraud aimed at deceiving users by pretending the original Ethereum altcoin, with a current value of around $ 290.
Tweet Stefano informs that the application, which is described as "Ethereum only", was developed by the so-called "Google Commerce Ltd", and it was installed more than 100 times since the last update in August 2017. The real name of the application developer supported by Google in The Google Play store is "Google LLC." Currently, this app is no longer available on Google Play.
On July 27, Google introduced a ban on the application to extract crypts in the Play Store, allowing only remote mining applications. According to The Next Web, despite the recent ban, many illegal applications such as JSEcoin still appear in the store. The agency notes that developers have 30 days to adapt to changes since the policy update date.
Earlier in April, the technology giant also announced a ban on all extensions that would allow mining in the Chrome Web Store. In March, Google followed Facebook, announcing the ban on all types of ads related to cryptography, which later affected the markets.
Let's now take a look at the ETH/USD technical picture at the H4 time frame. The market is still moving inside the blue channel after the bounce from the level of $246. The nearest technical support is seen at the level of $255 and the nearest technical resistance is seen at the level of $268 and $278. The market conditions remain oversold, but the momentum is not rising yet.
When the European market opens, some Economic Data will be released such as Consumer Confidence, Flash Services PMI, Flash Manufacturing PMI, German Flash Services PMI, German Flash Manufacturing PMI, French Flash Services PMI, and French Flash Manufacturing PMI. The US will release the Economic Data too, such as Natural Gas Storage, New home sales, Flash Services PMI, Flash Manufacturing PMI, HPI m/m, Unemployment Claims, so, amid the reports, EUR/USD will move in a low to medium volatility during this day.
In Asia, Japan will release the Flash Manufacturing PMI data, and the US will release some Economic Data such as Natural Gas Storage, New Home Sales, Flash Services PMI, Flash Manufacturing PMI, HPI m/m, and Unemployment Claims. So there is a probability the USD/JPY will move with low to medium volatility during this day.
Nothing much to say here. The range-trading between 1.7211 to 1.7355 continues. We expect short-term important resistance at 1.7355 to be broken soon. A break above this resistance will open up the upside as red wave iii really starts to develop towards 1.7924 and 1.8369 as the next important upside targets.
That said, we need to accept the possibility of more sideways consolidation between 1.7196 and 1.7355 as long as short-term important resistance is not broken.
We will re-buy EUR at 1.7205 or upon a break above 1.7327 and place our stop at 1.7200.
EUR/JPY still has not broken important short-term resistance at 128.48, but then it has not started to move strongly lower as we normally should expect at the completion of an expanded flat. Therefore we are shifting our preferred count in favor of wave C and II having completed with the test of 124.86 and wave III now in its infancy.
Under this count EUR/JPY should make a small downward correction towards 127.23 - 127.33 area in red wave iv and then move higher towards the 128.92 - 129.32 area in red wave v. This will complete black wave i/ and should set the stage for a corrective decline in wave ii/ towards the 125.76 - 126.44 area before the next impulsive rally higher.
That said, the possibility of a final dip closer to 124.62 remains possible, but time is running out fast.
We are 50% long EUR from 126.26 with our stop placed at 126.84. We will take profit on the final 50% at 128.75.
In July, the Bank of Russia added to its treasury a substantial amount of gold, continuing the policy of systematically increasing the reserves of the royal metal. The spice is added by the fact that in the spring Russia sold off its US government bonds.
Russia increased its gold reserves by 26.1 tons, to the level of 2 170 tons - according to data from the International Monetary Fund. At the end of the previous month, Russian gold reserves were worth 77.4 billion dollars.
The mere fact of buying gold by the Bank of Russia is no surprise. For more than a decade, Russians have been systematically increasing metal reserves, on average a dozen or so tons per month. And so in June, the Bank of Russia reported an increase of 15.8 tons, in May by 18.4 tons, and in April by 19 tons. But July shopping was the biggest since November 2017.
Data on Russian gold purchases is hardly connected with the sanctions that the US government imposed on Russia in recent months. So far, it has been painful to hit the businesses of the Russian oligarchs that Washington carried out in April. The Kremlin's response is to try to overthrow the dollar as a global reserve currency. The Russian authorities are participating in the "anti-dollar" coalition together with China, Iran and, more recently, Turkey.
Let's now take a look at the Gold technical picture in the daily time frame. The market has bounced from the level of $1,159 and currently is trading close to the level of $1,204 which now will act as a technical resistance for the price. The market conditions are oversold and the bounce is being supported by the momentum indicator as well. On the lower time frame, the nearest intraday support is seen at the level of $1,181.20.
The global investors had to wait for almost seven months until the SP500 index set a historic new all-time high. Everything took place quietly and as if with such a measure of shyness. But the high is high and it may soon be the longest bull market in post-war US history.
Tuesday's macroeconomic calendar was practically empty. Quarterly results of the large developer Toll Brothers proved to be a support for stock exchange bulls, whose shares have increased by over 13%. Turks had their free day, which for some time allowed the headlines to be removed from the Turkish currency crisis. We'll see how long it will take to calm down on the Bosporus.
The maximum value of the SP500 during Tuesday's session was 2873.33 points. The January record of all time has been improved by only 0.36 points. Formally, we have a new record, but in practice, it is just the alignment of the previous one and the threat of creating a double high remains on the table. Nevertheless, in the second part of the session, the New York indexes did not maintain the initial increases. The SP500 ended the day with an increase of only 0.23% and a result of 2,862.96 points. Dow Jones went up by 0.25%, and Nasdaq by 0.49%.
The new maximum after the increase of over 1% was determined by the affiliate of the smaller US companies, the Russell2000 index. This ratio has gained almost 12% since the beginning of the year, falling better than SP500 (+ 7% YTD), Dow Jones (+ 4.5%) and losing only to Nasdaq Composite (+ 14%).
According to the US financial media, the current boom on Wall Street is already 3,452 days long and has just equalized the record from the 90s of the twentieth century, when the indexes grew for almost a whole decade. The bull market in the US dates its birth on March 6, 2009.
Let's then take a look at the SP500 technical picture in the daily time frame. The market has made a Doji candlestick formation, which might indicate a possible correction in the uptrend. However, the Doji candlestick formation has not yet been confirmed, so the traders need to wait until the daily candle will close. The long-term trend is still up and this would be the first clue regarding a possible trend reversal as well. The nearest support is seen at the level of 284.97 and the key technical support is located at the level of 279.48.
Inflation will support the euro.
The latest figures show growth of salaries in the euro area, the total salaries increased in the 2nd quarter at a rate of + 2.2% per annum, compared to a growth of + 1.7% in the 1st quarter. The growth of wages is a very reliable precursor to accelerating inflation. Low inflation is the ECB's longstanding concern, as inflation is below the 2% target which is the main reason that the ECB continues to adhere to non-standard policies. The ECB rate is 0%, while the rate on deposits for banks is minus 0.4%.
The ECB under the plan should completely complete the program of pumping liquidity markets in December this year.
Markets are now waiting for the ECB's next meeting on September 13.
The main topic for the EUR/USD course is the differential of the monetary policy of the Fed and the ECB. The Fed raises rates according to the plan of two more increases by + 0.25% before the end of this year. The ECB said it did not plan to raise the rate until at least the summer of 2019.
It appears that the euro will decline. So, it seems to happen after a two-month consolidation in the range 1.1500 - 1.1800, as the euro went down and passed to 1.1300.
But it was enough for US President Trump to publicly criticize the Fed's rate hike, and the euro literally rose to 1.1600 in three days.
Much can be decided on Friday in Jackson Hole at the Federal summit, which will meet the heads of the world's largest securities. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will speak on Friday.
Buyers have worked out the morning signal to buy the pound, and now their main goal is to update the weekly high around 1.2943, where I recommend to lock in the profit. In the event of a decline in the GBP/USD pair in the second half of the day, you can return to buying only on the rebound from the support of 1.2845 and 1.2814.
It is best to consider short positions in the pound after the resistance update in the area of 1.2943 or after the return and consolidation under a large support level of 1.2875, which could not be done in the morning. A breakthrough of 1.2875 will lead to the formation of more serious pressure on the GBP/USD pair with a return to 1.2845, where I recommend to lock in the profit. However, the main goal of sellers will be a low of 1.2814.
So, the EUR/USD pair was able to cross the middle line of the Bollinger Bands indicator, which coincides with the Kijun-sen line of the Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator, thereby gaining above the resistance level of 1.1540. This fact can be recorded in the total asset of the bulls' EUR/USD achievements, especially since they did not stop there and currently test the 16th figure.
The US currency, in turn, is actively giving up positions: the dollar index has now dropped to the 94th figure, although last week it updated its annual high, reaching 96.5 points. Among EUR/USD traders, there is now an active struggle for the 16th figure: the pair's bulls need to stay in this price area in order to demonstrate their advantage. Bears have a more difficult task: to return the price below the level of 1.1540, thus provoking a large-scale price retracement.
The fundamental picture that has been formed in recent days does not allow the dollar to be aggressive. The US currency is forced to reckon with a serious opponent in the person of the US president, who has taken the path of its further growth. The incessant criticism of Trump against the actions of the Fed is making the traders nervous. And the reaction of the market turned out to be undulating. Contrary to the opinion of some experts that Verbal intervention by Trump will have a short-term impact, the configuration of dollar pairs has changed quite seriously. For example, the USD/CHF pair moved away from the parity area by almost 200 points, and the pound returned for the first time in 2.5 weeks to the 29th figure. The EUR/USD pair also continued the northern movement, thus forming a price bottom at the bottom of the 13th figure.
It is interesting to look at the monthly EUR/USD chart, or rather, on monthly candles: during the whole summer, the bears tried to squeeze the price out of the range, but in each case they failed. So, in June, the monthly minimum was at the level of 1.1508, in July - at 1.1575, this month - 1.1301. Despite such bearish pressure, the pair each time closed the month on the border of 16 and 17 figures. Among the figures given, August stands out, which renewed the price minimum for the year at the base of the 13th figure. This is due to the economic crisis in Turkey, which jeopardized the stability of the banking sector in Europe. If it were not for the "Turkish factor", the last month of the summer would certainly not be different from its predecessors - in other words, the pair would fluctuate in the price range of 1.1510-1.1705. However, despite such force majeure, the EUR/USD pair, by all accounts, will not break the tradition of this summer, having completed the month in approximately the same price area where it started.
All this suggests that in the long run, traders did not determine the vector of the pair's movement. The EUR/USD pair was actively declining during April and May, but having reached the region of the 15th figure, the southern impulse lost its force, and the pair actually fluttered - the monthly time frame is eloquent. Obviously, even such a long and wide-range flat has its borders, primarily of a temporary nature. In my opinion, the pair will be able to break out of the above price range due to several factors.
First of all, these are trade relations between the US and China. If the rumors of a pending armistice are justified, then the fundamental background for the dollar will change quite noticeably. Now the dollar is viewed as an "island of security" in the light of increased geopolitical risks. Once these fears are leveled, traders will focus on the macroeconomic indicators of the EU and the US, in the light of the prospects for the actions of the Fed and the ECB.
And here the dollar will not have such an unequivocal advantage, especially if you remember the latest statements of Donald Trump. And especially if the US economic indicators begin to show a decline. For example, according to many experts, US GDP in the third quarter will not stay within four percent (as in the second quarter), but, most likely, will be below three percent.
The strengthened dollar will have a corresponding impact on the sphere of foreign trade, especially in terms of exports. For the same reason, inflation may slow down. And here it is worth considering that Donald Trump blames the Federal Reserve for the rise in the price of the national currency - so if in the third quarter there is a decline in key indicators, the US president will increase public pressure on the Fed. And by and large it does not matter whether the members of the regulator will listen to Trump's criticism or not. The events of recent days show that the market is very sensitive to the verbal intervention of the head of the American state.
Summarizing the above, it should be noted that the current correctional growth of the pair EUR/USD looks quite logical, if we consider the logic of the pair's movement in recent months. Today's publication of the Fed's protocol is unlikely to change the mood of traders. Moreover, I would recommend not to trust the market's reaction to today's release, because tomorrow or the day after tomorrow we will learn the first results of the US-China talks, and this factor can completely redraw the fundamental picture of the pair EUR/USD. All other events (except Friday's speech by the head of the Fed in Jackson-Hole) are of secondary importance.

Tory BarronESPN Editor
Tory Barron is a Bristol-based writer and editor for ESPN.com. After retiring from playing lacrosse at UConn, the DC native decided to try her hand at writing about people playing sports.
Previous iterations of the XFL were eerily reminiscent to the chorus of a George Strait song -- "I'm here for a good time, I ain't here for a long time."
But now, under a new and prominent ownership group (some guy named Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is involved), the 2023 XFL promises to be different than its predecessors. As the fledgling league looks to achieve staying power behind the play of AJ McCarron and Ben DiNucci, it's only right we revisit those who got it going in the early aughts. For starters, the original 2001 XFL would have been nothing without the one and only, He Hate Me.
Whether it was a final foray into football after collegiate success or a stepping stone on the way to NFL glory, these players left their mark on the XFL:
Rod "He Hate Me" Smart, RB/KR, Las Vegas Outlaws

The 2001 version of the XFL famously afforded players the opportunity to wear nicknames on the back of their jerseys. Smart opted for "He Hate Me," and a star was born -- along with a best-selling jersey. Smart finished the lone season of the original version of the XFL with 555 rushing yards, good for second in the league, and scored three touchdowns. He went on to become a special teamer for the Carolina Panthers, most notably serving as their kick and punt returner in Super Bowl XXXVIII.

Ivy's time in the XFL was just one chapter in his lengthy professional football career, but he made it count. Ivy led the XFL in interceptions during its 2001 stint. The next season, he messed around and won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing in all 16 regular-season games and making three postseason appearances.

Before Gleason played for the New Orleans Saints and became an advocate for people facing ALS, he also played in the first season of the XFL. His time with the Thunderbolts was far less notable than what he would achieve in the NFL. Following Hurricane Katrina in 2006, when the Saints returned to the Superdome for the first time in 21 months, Gleason blocked a punt to help beat the Atlanta Falcons. It has become one of the iconic moments in franchise history.
Landry Jones, QB, Dallas Renegades

The Oklahoma Sooners' standout quarterback (123 career TD passes) and Pittsburgh Steelers' backup QB became the first player to sign with the short-lived XFL 2.0. The move reunited Landry with his college coach Bob Stoops. The stint almost didn't happen, as the Steelers attempted to re-sign Jones after Ben Roethlisberger was injured, but the signing was blocked by the XFL. Landry had five TDs and 7 INTs in four starts before the XFL shut down. He has not, since, played in the NFL.
PJ Walker, QB, Houston Roughnecks

Temple's all-time leader in QB wins became a breakout star for the league. Walker had 15 TDs and 5 INTs in five XFL starts. He won all five starts. Walker signed with the Panthers in 2020, and has started seven games in that time. In Week 7 of the 2022 season, he threw two TDs to beat the Bucs 21-3.
Josh Johnson, QB, Los Angeles Wildcats

Johnson, who was selected in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL draft, is the epitome of an NFL journeyman. He has been on the active roster of 11 different NFL teams. But he thrived in the XFL. Johnson lead the league in passer rating while under center for the Wildcats in 2020.
Taylor Heinicke, QB, St. Louis Battlehawks

Heinicke's time in the XFL? Unremarkable. What he's achieved since? More so. The Green Lizard has started off-and-on for the Washington Commanders ever since replacing an injured Alex Smith in the 2021 NFC wild-card game. In that matchup, he went head-to-head with Tom Brady, throwing for 306 yards and a TD, and nearly pulling off the upset to the eventual Super Bowl champion Bucs. Since then, he has remained in Washington and shown some flashes of greatness. In four starts this season, he is 3-1 with five TDs, most recently handing the Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) a loss on "Monday Night Football."
Keenan Reynolds, WR, Seattle Dragons

Reynolds ended his college career at Navy holding rushing records upon rushing records. Despite an attempted change in position, he couldn't catch on in the NFL. In 2020, he signed with the XFL and became a star on special teams and as a wide receiver for the Dragons.
Matt Jones, RB, St. Louis BattleHawks

Jones was selected by the Commanders in the third round of the 2015 NFL draft. After a successful NFL career that included stints with the Indianapolis Colts and Eagles, he took his talents to the XFL. Jones was named to the midseason All-XFL team after rushing for 314 yards and a touchdown on 80 rushes, and having 25 receiving yards and a touchdown before the league was shut down.
Cardale Jones, QB, DC Defenders

When you think Cardale Jones, you likely think Ohio State. Jones' XFL career wasn't nearly as successful as his collegiate tenure with the Buckeyes. He got off to a strong start with the Defenders, winning his first two games as a starter. But then he went on a four-game stretch in which he threw 2 TDs to 7 INTs, and watched his yards per attempt fall each game. By the time the league folded, Tyree Jackson had replaced him as QB1.

Ambitus fosters a community that will help educate developers about all open source technologies on z/OS and Linux on Z
Ambitus brings together a community of developers and systems architects to enable an open source ecosystem that fosters a better understanding of how open source environments can work on the IBM Z platform. Ambitus is an important step in the journey to close the gap in open source enablement by facilitating a collaborative environment for developers and systems architects and by helping them to create open source solutions to make optimal use of z/OS and Linux on Z.
Ambitus approaches open source in two key ways:
Illustrates how containerized workloads enable interoperability between Linux and z/OS, and allow IBM Z to participate more fully in cloud deployments through container orchestration.
Allow users who wish to contribute open source code they have ported to z/OS or Linux a place to publish their changes, along with help to upstream those changes to the originating project.
Ambitus provides community members a place to:
Exchange sample code and architectures of open source deployments that make use of IBM Z platform strengths.
Share best practices and experiences about how to use both open source, and platform-specific technology stacks to accomplish useful business tasks.
Ambitus compliments projects like Zowe, Zorrow, and many of the other Open Mainframe projects to provide a clearer picture of open source software and IBM Z. As the mainframe and open source communities continue to integrate through projects like these, we enable a new generation of users to benefit from the strengths of the platform through the open source interfaces that they already know.
Visit the Ambitus technical resources page to learn more about how IBM Z can be a key piece of your open source environment.

Project Crevette is taking a unique approach to combat the high prevalence of schistosomiasis along the Senegal River. Schistosomiasis is a water parasite that burrows into human skin and causes infections in several organs and eventual organ failure. The parasites require snails to serve as intermediary hosts as they mature. This is where Project Crevette is directing their intervention. They are creating prawn hatcheries in select communities to reintroduce millions of native prawns, whose populations were decimated by the Diam Dam in the 1980s. Prawns are the snail's natural predators and helped maintain the health of the river. To do this they are creating water ladders to assist the prawns in their migrations up river. The project has the effect of re-introducing prawn harvesting as an economic activity to rural communities. Project Crevette have reported a 10-fold decrease in parasites in one community and halving in the rates of schistosomiasis contraction.
Instead of treating the disease in humans, they are taking preventative measures by going to the source. By re-introducing the snail eating prawns, Project Crevette is restoring the natural equilibrium of the river. In the long run this project redirects money that would have gone to costly treatments and medicine to an economic investment. Prawn fishing is a lucrative global industry and could help raise incomes of communities along the river. Project Crevette is focusing on this aspect of the project in order to maintain its sustainability. Another effect of the project is that people are no longer pouring sewage into the rivers for fear it will harm their prawns.
The practice of introducing a species into an environment is a matter that should be taken seriously. Luckily, the species of prawn they are breeding are native to the region, but that does limit the emulation of this project elsewhere. That being said, with enough research into local environments, other species may present themselves as natural disease fighters and ecosystem protectors.
Project Crevette was awarded a $200,000 grant from Grand Challenges Canada. Grand Challenges Canada is funded by the Canadian Government.

What a creative way to tackle so many problems at once!
Very interesting approach though I wonder whether there are any unintended ecological effects with the reintroduction of so many. Also, great website!
They didn't address unintended ecological effects of reintroduction, but I would assume that if the species thrived in the river beforehand it wouldn't be detrimental to other life. That being said, another species may have replaced the prawns and is now under threat.


Article written by Wesley Reineke for Bike Exif about CRD38 Cafe Racer.
Some custom motorcycles are so outlandish that they grab your attention immediately, while some are so understated and classy that, once you notice them, you can't look away. Case in point: CRD38.
This stunning '74 BMW R90/6 belongs to José Martín Espinosa, a prominent figure in the Spanish fashion industry. He commissioned this BMW cafe racer after a series of email conversations with Cafe Racer Dreams and a couple of visits to their Madrid headquarters, fully entrusting the creative direction to them.
The headlight is also a Cafe Racer Dreams unit, but it's been modified to house a Motogadget speedometer and various controls. On the handlebar, Motogadget's stealthy m-Switch units replace the standard BMW switches.
I once asked CRD what their personal design philosophy was. Their reply was: "Less is more, and pay full attention to the final finish." In my opinion, CRD38 is the epitome of this philosophy. An elegant vintage custom, with a host of finer details that only become apparent as you dig deeper.

The Case for Culture
John Worne
Print as pdf
As Hillary Clinton said last week, "America cannot solve the most pressing problems on our own, and the world cannot solve them without America. "We must use what has been called 'smart power,' the full range of tools at our disposal," she said, embracing diplomatic, economic, military, political, legal and cultural strategies.
In a poll commissioned by the British Council which we published last week, we found that nearly two-thirds of Americans were worried about the U.S.'s standing abroad, over 8 out of 10 thought it was important for the U.S. to build better relationships with other countries and 79% said that improving the country's reputation and understanding abroad should be a major priority for the new government. Cultural and religious intolerance was voted the main cause of conflict and instability in the world.
So it was great to hear Hillary Clinton acknowledging the valuable role of culture in the new Obama Administration's approach to international relations. Can she and he take it a little further? I think they need to. My first concern is framing. As I have written before , the tool might be the same, but the way it is presented can really limit its effectiveness. The words culture and power – however smart – sit uneasily together.
Why? Let's start by unpacking the word 'culture'. A quick look at dictionary.com indicates three elements, all of which are important for culture as an international relations intervention:
1. that which is excellent in the arts.
2. development of the mind by education or training.
3. the behaviours and beliefs characteristic of a particular group
The notion of power sits uncomfortably with all three elements – at least in the eyes of the recipient. How 'smart' is overpowering my cultural icons and traditions, re-educating my mind, imposing beliefs and sanctioning my behaviours? Even if that is absolutely not the intent, given the current level of trust in the U.S.A in many parts of the world (only 34% approve of U.S. leadership worldwide in a recent Gallup poll) these will be spoken and unspoken fears.
So I would urge some separation between the 'power' and the 'culture'. I have blogged on the three postures of cultural relations – 'helping', 'sharing' and 'boasting'. They sit within the international relations spectrum between the other main elements of 'giving' (aid) and 'shouting' and 'fighting' (messaging, economic and military coercion).
Cultural diplomacy, framed to exert power, risks feeling like cultural imperialism – or aggressive boasting. During the cold war, proxies from the space race to Olympic gold medals were about demonstrating the virility of a system – and touring arts, education and culture exchange were often primarily competitive not cooperative endeavours. A lot has changed, but the new powers of India and China, as well as the older ones in Russia and Europe, want to be recognised as cultural equals. The answer lies in a posture of 'sharing' not simply boasting or 'projecting' culture.
I would also urge that all three of the aspects of culture are integrated. The arts are a vital part of culture, but for much of the world, what Europeans and Americans might call art others see as an integral, not separate, part of the culture. Education and training – and the English language – are a vital part of 'helping' in much of the world especially in the Middle East, North Africa, Central and South Asia. This sort of help delivers opportunity and the capacity to function in a globalised world. It is 'smart aid' to set alongside 'smart power'. But the third element – respecting the behaviours and beliefs characteristic of a particular groups – is the most important, and the hardest.
During campaigning, President-elect Obama pledged to "renew American diplomacy to meet the challenges of the 21st century.…rebuild our alliances….meet with all nations, friend and foe, to advance American interests", but also admitted that "resources for cultural diplomacy are at their lowest level in a decade." Cultural relations means listening, being open enough to talk, to change yourself and your own views as much as you expect others to change. It also requires engagement of significant proportions of Americans with significant proportions of aspirational and influential people from all around the world – genuine people-to-people engagement, at scale, is the transformational step in U.S. international relations.
For cultural relations to really work there needs to be a clear distance between the organisations charged with this activity and the government of the day. As I've blogged before, with 24/7 news it's hard for governments – and diplomats – to change views, 'meet with foes' and 'listen to all nations'. The pressure to message and rebut is enormous. Cultural relations works better when it is aligned with the rest of the international relations effort, but has the space to exchange knowledge and ideas, to explore beliefs and the time to build relationships.
At the British Council, we are celebrating our 75th anniversary this year of linking schools, promoting educational opportunities in the UK, forging links between universities, teaching English and training new teachers overseas, hosting art exhibitions from Tehran to Moscow, building networks of young people on issues like climate change and more. We are not unique in what we do. Other countries have similar organisations and we encourage, work with and support them. But today, we can only imagine the difference it would make if we had a sister in the U.S.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Armenian interim Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan said on Tuesday he was stepping down, after parliament elected opposition leader Nikol Pashinyan to the role.
Pashinyan was elected as Armenia's new prime minister on Tuesday, capping a peaceful revolution driven by weeks of mass protests against corruption and cronyism in the ex-Soviet republic.

Printworks will also be kicking off a year-long residency from Youth Club Archive, which will be allowing access to its tens of thousands of youth subculture images from the past four decades for the first time.
An artist impression of how the venue is expected to look
Dedicated to preserving, sharing, educating and celebrating youth culture, the non-profit organisation will host an exhibition as well as building an open workspace and dark room facility which will see them work with a team of volunteers and interns to digitise hundreds of thousands of previously unseen negatives and prints.
The arts and culture programming will be overseen by Tamsin Ace, head of festival programme at London's renowned culture hub Southbank Centre.
Having opened in 2017 in the industrial surroundings of the former Metro and Evening Standard printing facility, Printworks has already delivered a year-long programme of electronic events, as well as the live launch of Gorillaz latest album Humanz, Tom Misch and Afropunk Festival, and music video shoots for stars including Stormzy.
Bradley Thompson, managing director of Broadwick Live, which runs the venue, said: "We feel hugely privileged to have helped breathe life back into this remarkable landmark since it opened its doors as a venue in 2017.
The Printworks music venue is expected to be opened on March 23

"In Printworks, we truly believe that we have one of the most incredible venues there is today, and we're absolutely committed to giving people unparalleled production, programming and experiences throughout the cultural spectrum."
Tamsin Ace, head of festival programme at Southbank Centre, said: "I'm excited to be part of the team creating a new arts and culture programme for Printworks.
"With such a different space to play with, Printworks offers the opportunity for artists to create something truly unique."
Roger Madelin, head of Canada Water Development at British Land, added: "We are happy to see the next stage of the Printworks evolution take shape with the addition of the live music venue.
"We are evaluating a number of cultural spaces within our masterplan for Canada Water and I am reassured by the success of the Printworks' current use."

Changes in perceived recovery status scale following high-volume muscle damaging resistance exercise.
Sikorski EM1, Wilson JM, Lowery RP, Joy JM, Laurent CM, Wilson SM, Hesson D, Naimo MA, Averbuch B, Gilchrist P.
Currently no research has investigated the relationship between muscle damage, hormonal status, and perceived recovery scale (PRS). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a high-volume training session on PRS and to determine the relationship between levels of testosterone, cortisol, and creatine kinase (CK) and PRS. Thirty-five trained subjects (21.3 ± 1.9 years) were recruited. All subjects participated in a high-volume resistance training session consisting of 3 sets of full squats, bench press, deadlifts, pullups, dips, bent over rows, shoulder press, and barbell curls and extensions. Pre-PRS and post-PRS measurements (0-10), soreness, CK, cortisol, and testosterone were measured before and 48 hours after training. Perceived recovery scale declined from 8.6 ± 2.3 to 4.2 ± 1.85 (p < 0.05). Leg, chest, and arm soreness increased from pre- to postexercise. Creatine kinase significantly increased from pre- to postworkout (189.4 ± 100.2 to 512 ± 222.7 U/L). Cortisol, testosterone, and free testosterone did not change. There was an inverse relationship between CK and PRS (r = 0.58, p < 0.05). When muscle damage was low before training, cortisol and free and total testosterone were not correlated to PRS. However, when damage peaked at 48 hours postexercise, free, but not total, testosterone showed a low direct relationship with PRS (r = 0.2, p < 0.05). High-volume resistance exercise lowers PRS scores. These changes are partly explained by a rise in serum indices of muscle damage. Moreover, free testosterone seems to have a positive relationship with PRS.

If you're getting your company in shape to grab more customers, does it make sense to spend the time and money on redesigning your office? You bet!
When Vicky Carlson purchased San Diego-based Office Pavilion in 1994, she took over existing space. Because the firm sells not only office furniture, but also space planning, refurbishing and warehousing services, it requires a working office, showroom and storage facility. The building was adequate, but it didn't convey the true functionality and personality of the firm.
When planning for a new facility, Carlson worked with The McCulley Group, a graphic and architectural design firm that addressed what John McCulley calls "the nutritional concept of branding." Every cubic inch of the space was examined to determine what it communicated. Flexibility was also a goal, as design and colors go quickly in and out of fashion.
Large-scale product shots, workstations and featured furniture can all be changed easily. The entryway features a timeline of the company's key vendor, Herman Miller, from 1920 to present. Blackout screens roll out of view, high-speed Internet connections and large-screen monitors are standard in conference rooms, and a multimedia theater allows for impressive presentations. Quotes from employees are painted directly on the wall throughout the 15,000-square-foot, two-story building, truly bringing home the brand message.
Carlson's close ratio has jumped from 70 to 90 percent since the change; today, Office Pavilion boasts $20 million in annual sales. Remember: Brand-building means projecting a consistent message, even in your office. It's one way to ensure wall-to-wall success.

It's been a tough go of late for the Cleveland Cavaliers and it looks like it's getting to LeBron James and head coach Tyronn Lue.
During the third quarter of the Cavs' 113-105 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night, James and Lue were caught getting into a heated argument on the bench after James sat down to take a breather.
The 33-year-old star and his head coach shouted back and forth after James took an ill-advised shot, as Lue appeared to be displeased with his star's decision making on offense.
It would be easy to overreact to this, but probably just two competitive guys letting their energy and passion spill over into a disagreement which happens often in the heat of competition, especially when your team has been struggling.
Cleveland has lost five of its last eight games, but perhaps this moment between James and Lue will help spark the Cavs as the NBA playoffs approach.

Coinbase stock gets $250 reference price, and slow trading start
Lynne Marek Lead Editor
Courtesy of Coinbase
UPDATE: April 14, 2021: When trading in the shares of Coinbase opened just before 1:30 p.m. EST, their price surged higher from the $250 per-share reference rate set by Nasdaq to touch $429.54 before drifting down to a low of $310 and eventually settling at $328.28 at the 4 p.m. close. It operates the biggest bitcoin exchange in the U.S. and was the first major cryptocurrency exchange to go public in the U.S., according to the Wall Street Journal.
That gave the cryptocurrency exchange company a valuation of about $112 billion at the stock's high, before shares declined to yield a valuation of about $85 billion at the closing on a fully diluted basis, which includes restricted shares and unvested stock options.
Coinbase listed class A shares in this first-time offering, though it also has class B shares outstanding that are identical, with the exception that the B shares have more voting power that allow their holders to control the company.
The $65 billion market valuation for cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase was based on a $250 reference price for the new shares set by Nasdaq last night. Trading of the new stock on Nasdaq was slow to get started this morning, but that's not uncommon for companies like Coinbase, that choose to list their shares in a direct listing, as opposed to a traditional initial public offering, according to a Coindesk report.
The surge in value follows a press release from the company earlier this month that it expects first-quarter profit will outstrip what it earned for all of last year, underscoring the growing allure of Coinbase as a venue for trading and valuing cryptocurrencies. The company expects first-quarter net income of between $730 million and $800 million, based on trading fee revenue, but also due to the rising value of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin. Last year, Coinbase posted net income of $322.3 million for the whole year, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in advance of today's offering.
Coinbase's expected $1.8 billion in first-quarter revenue is more than half the approximately $3.4 billion it collected in the eight years since it was founded in 2012 through last year, according to the SEC filing.
Coinbase's financial results and valuation attest to the viability of cryptocurrencies as an emerging form of worldwide payment. For years, financial industry professionals have argued cryptocurrencies wouldn't last without acceptance from established financial institutions. Now, Coinbase has proven that can happen, with Wall Street titan Goldman Sachs shepherding its direct listing today and financial institutions increasingly using its trading platform.
The $65 billion valuation makes Coinbase worth more than the exchange that's taking it public, given Nasdaq's approximately $26 billion valuation, and it approaches the $69 billion valuation of New York Stock Exchange parent Intercontinental Exchange, which also operates a futures exchange, the Wall Street Journal noted. The Coinbase valuation, which is based on a fully diluted share basis, easily outstrips the $8 billion valuation it achieved after its most recent 2018 private capital fundraising.
Despite the delay in the start of trading this morning, Coinbase's new shares were expected by some to start trading even higher than the reference price, perhaps at $350 per share, according to CNBC.
A significant portion of the exchange's business has been from established financial institutions, according to Coinbase. It said in the regulatory filing that $122 billion of the $223 billion in assets currently held on its platform are assets held by institutions, as opposed to individual retail traders.
Coinbase has also attracted prominent venture capitalists as investors that now are profiting from the company's lofty valuation. Those investors include well-known firms such as New York-based Tiger Global Management; Menlo Park, California-based Andreessen Horowitz; and New York-based Union Square Ventures. The company is using the offering to provide those investors with an opportunity to sell their stock positions and isn't raising any new capital through the offering.
Demonstrating the rising demand for cryptocurrencies, the company projected that $335 billion in crypto assets were traded on its platform during the first quarter, racing past the $193 billion traded on it for all of 2020. Coinbase's trading fee income is based on the volume of cryptocurrencies traded as well as the value of the cryptocurrencies traded.
Bitcoin is by far the most heavily traded cryptocurrency on Coinbase's exchange, making up 41% of trading last year. Ethereum accounted for a lesser 15% with some 40-plus other cryptocurrencies making up the remaining portion, according to the SEC filing. The value of bitcoin skyrocketed over the past year, multiplying about nine-fold to a value today of $63,208 from just under $7,000 a year ago.
The company is led by Chairman, CEO and co-founder Brian Armstrong, a software engineer who also founded and was CEO of Universitytutor.com, an online tutoring subsidiary of Johnson Educational Technologies, according to the SEC filing. He also previously worked briefly for the online travel marketplace Airbnb as well as the auditing and consulting firm Deloitte & Touche.
