EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Bears' Control is Strong
Gold Technical Analysis: Continuous Bullish Momentum

GBP/USD Technical Analysis: General Trend is still Bullish
USD/JPY Technical Analysis: General Trend is Broken
EUR/USD Technical Analysis: Pace of Gains Stalled
The minutes of the last meeting of the US Federal Reserve reiterated that the timing of raising US interest rates has become closer than previously thought. Accordingly, the EUR/USD currency pair returned to the support level 1.1276, before settling around the 1.1315 level at the time of writing the analysis. The currency pair abandoned the 1.1386 resistance that was recorded at the beginning of trading in the first week of 2022. As mentioned, rebound gains for the euro-dollar will remain limited and may be subject to selling as long as global concerns and restrictions to contain the new variable of Corona remain.
Citi expects the EUR/USD exchange rate to fall as the dollar rises in the first rate hike by the Federal Reserve and the Eurozone struggles with the winter energy price crisis. In a note to clients issued at the beginning of the year, Citi says it sees a fall in the EUR/USD pair "early in the year", in line with market expectations of a Fed rate hike in just two months from now.
In this regard, Ibrahim Rahbari, chief analyst at Citi says, "The US dollar tends to rise with the first Fed increase, 2% on average in the three months until the first rally over the last four Fed hike cycles." The initial rally is likely to be triggered at the March 15-16 meeting, according to market expectations, with the interest rate forecast range raised between to 0.25%-0.5%. Federal policy makers have indicated in their latest set of forecasts that there are likely to be two additional 25 basis points increases before the end of the year, citing rising inflation and a resilient labor market.
The Euro is expected to be constrained by an ongoing energy crisis that has driven up gas prices amid strong demand and limited supplies from Russia and other sources. Accordingly, Citi expects energy prices to remain volatile during the winter season in Europe. Citi adds that their expectations for a stronger dollar in 2021 are also based on the expectation that the dollar will benefit from continued strong growth in the United States compared to the rest of the world.
The dollar can also benefit during periods of a "defensive" situation by investors during periods of weak investor sentiment. But Citi is also wary of "being dogmatically bullish for the US dollar". One reason is that forecasts for the rise of the US dollar in 2022 have become a consensus among market participants and analysts alike. The latest available positioning data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) shows that the market remains "long" on the US dollar to reach around $20 billion.
According to the technical analysis of the pair: The stability of the price of the euro currency pair against the dollar EUR/USD will remain around and below the support level 1.1300. This is motivating the bears' stronger control over the performance. Thus moving towards stronger support levels, the closest to them currently are 1.1255, 1.1180 and the psychological support 1.1000, respectively. The factors for the gains of the US dollar are still the strongest and the euro fails, as in the past, to gain momentum for recovery. Therefore, I have always recommended to sell EUR/USD from every bullish level. On the upside, and according to the performance on the daily chart, the bulls move towards the resistance levels 1.1485 and 1.1660, respectively, to change the current trend, which is still bearish.
Today, the German Factory Orders and Consumer Price Index will be released, followed by the Eurozone Producer Price Index. During the American session, the number of weekly jobless claims, trade balance numbers and ISM services purchasing managers' index will be announced.

What is a Nova?
Budding astronomers often hear new terms and are confused about what each one means. One term you might hear as a newcomer to this field is nova. A nova is a certain type of star that you can see in the sky. It appears much brighter than the surrounding stars do. In this article, we'll look at what a nova is and how it relates to a supernova. You can use this information to amaze your friends the next time you're in science class or observing space through a telescope.
A nova is a type of star called a white dwarf star. White dwarf stars can exist as standard stars but become novas when they take energy from a red giant star. As the name implies, this type of star is much larger. To form a nova, the star needs to pull and absorb energy from the red giant star, which can take quite a bit of time. This leads to a nuclear fusion between the two stars and will cause an explosion that creates the nova. Instead of the stars exploding, the merge to form a nova. If more than one explosion occurs, the star will become a recurrent nova.
The term supernova refers to a nova that glows brighter than any other star in the universe. It can become the brightest point in an entire galaxy for a short period. Astronomers now believe that there are at least two different types of supernovas: Type I and Type II.
Type I Supernova
A Type I supernova requires both a red giant star and a white dwarf star. The red giant is a companion star that exists close by. When the white dwarf star absorbs energy, it essentially kills the second star. Once the core of the star dies, it can create a thermonuclear explosion that completely kills it. This explosion will create a powerful blast that eliminates the second star and sends all its energy to the supernova.
Type II Supernova
With a Type II supernova, the main star has a mass that is several times that of the sun. It has such a large mass that the star cannot support itself. This type of star will absorb energy from its companion until it can no longer get any larger. This causes the star to collapse on itself and create a large explosion. The main difference between the two types is that a Type II supernova contains hydrogen.
Superluminous Supernova
Another type of nova is a superluminous supernova or a hypernova. If you ever watched any of the Fantastic Four movies or films that featured the Incredible Hulk, you probably heard the term gamma rays. These are the rays in space that gave those heroes their powers. This type of supernova can release gamma radiation when it explodes, though the odds that those rays will give you superpowers are slim. A superluminous supernova can release up to 50 times more energy than a standard supernova can.
Nova is a term that means new star. Astronomers first used this term to describe the brightest stars that they saw because they believed that the objects were new stars. For a nova to form, the star must be in a binary system with both a companion and a white dwarf star. The white dwarf will pull gases from that second star and turn the gas into energy. This causes the surface of the white dwarf to release that energy in a large explosion. If there is more than one nova in the same system, astronomers refer to them as novae.
How Long Does a Nova Last?
The visible effects of a nova can last for a short or long period based on the amount of energy released. It typically lasts for at least a few days and might be visible for up to several weeks. A good way to look for novae is through a telescope lens. You'll want to scan the sky and narrow down on the stars that appear the brightest. If you mark the spot and return to it every day, you can see the nova as it fades away. Astronomers use powerful telescopes in their observatories to identify and track novae.

Jim Furyk has confirmed that Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker will be Vice Captains for this year's Ryder Cup at Le Golf National in Paris.
Last week Woods said that he hoped to be a playing Vice Captain in Paris, and whilst that seems to be a very unlikely scenario, he will still be there in one capacity for certain.
"The Ryder Cup is incredibly special to me," said Woods. "I am thrilled to once again serve as a Ryder Cup Vice-Captain and I thank Jim for his confidence, friendship and support.
Both Woods and Stricker served as Vice Captains under Love when the USA regained the trophy at Hazeltine in 2016, so they both already know the role.
Furyk stated: "To win in Paris will be a great challenge, and to have Steve and Tiger share in the journey is important for me and for American golf.
Jim Furyk immediately appointed Davis Love III as a vice captain when he was announced as USA skipper in January 2017, and he will make further appointments as well.

Area young people ages 8-17 will have a chance to take to the skies on Saturday, September 10th, as Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Chapter 31 hosts a Young Eagles Flight Rally at Creswell's Hobby Field.
The rally is part of the EAA Young Eagles Program, created to interest young people in aviation. Since the program was launched in 1992, Volunteer EAA pilots have flown more than 1.6 million young people who reside in more than 90 countries.
"Free airplane rides are just part of the Flight Rally," said Dave Petersen, spokesman for the event. "We hope to build one-to-one relationships between pilots and young people, giving a new generation a chance to learn more about the possibilities that exist in the world of aviation."
Pilots at the event will also explain more about their airplanes allowing young people to discover how airplanes work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before every flight.
Following the flight, each young person, will receive a certificate making them an official Young Eagle. Their name will then be entered into the "World's Largest Logbook," which is on permanent display at the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, WI. The Logbook is also accessible on the web at www.youngeagles.org.
Other activities scheduled for the Flight Rally include Breakfast and Hotdog/Hamburger Lunch
Along with flight rallies, EAA members also fly Young Eagles on an individual basis. Each pilot volunteers their time and aircraft so the flights can be provided free of charge for interested young people.
Those attending the flight rally on September 10th are asked come to the Chapter 31 Hanger, starting at 9am to register for their flight. Flights will begin at 10am, with registration closing at 2pm.
Additional information about EAA and the EAA Young Eagles program is available on the Internet. Access to EAA's Home Page is available at www.eaa.org. The Young Eagles web page is www.youngeagles.org.


Bipolar disorder is one of the most highly researched neurological disorders in the United States. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that bipolar disorder affects approximately 2% of the population in the United States. However, due to social stigma, a difficulty in diagnosing the condition and inadequate health care, only 40% of those suffering from this disease are adequately treated.
Bipolar disorder is a mental disorder marked by alternating periods of elation and depression. It was observed and written about as early as the 1st century in Ancient Greece. The medical pioneer Aretaeus of Cappadocia was the first to note the link between mania and depression. In fact, the ancient Greeks and Romans were responsible for the terms mania and melancholia (depression) which still remain in use today. They also pioneered a treatment for manic and depressive moods. Medical practitioners noted that using lithium salts in baths calmed people with manic feelings and helped depressed people feel better. This cure was well before its time as lithium is still one of the most widely used treatments for bipolar disorder today.
Currently, bipolar disorder is classified into four subtypes of varying severity, all which classify bipolar disorder as one manic episode and at least one or more major depressive episodes a year. Sufferers experience varying moods including uncharacteristic periods of aggression, overconfidence, frequent sadness, impulsive behavior, moodiness, confusion, and intense anxiety. Severe cases can cause patients to cycle from manic to depressive episodes as many as a few times a week to a few times a day. Bipolar disorders tend to begin when a patient is in their 20s, but it can appear at any age and does appear to favor one gender over the other.
As mentioned above, a vast majority of people suffering from bipolar depression are left untreated or under-treated. One of the reasons for this is that the cyclical nature of the disease makes the manic episodes hard to diagnose. Often, patients are treated "just" for depression as their manic episodes are initially seen as simply "feeling better." Not until a pattern emerges and the manic episodes are observed more carefully does the real diagnosis develop. This is important to note as it takes on average 3 visits to a therapist to receive a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is a condition that takes some work to accurately diagnose; understanding this process can help it go smoother. Despite the difficult path to diagnosis, once bipolar disease is diagnosed correctly it is widely regarded as highly treatable with a combination of medication and various therapies. Often multiple medications are prescribed to help even out both manic and depressive feelings.
If you or a loved one is experiencing devastating highs and lows with overconfidence and hyperactivity on one end and intense sadness and anger on the other, you may be experiencing bipolar disorder. The first step to taking control of your emotions is speaking with your therapist. After your first visit, you'll be on the path to long-term wellness.

Keeping Up With the Quaranteens
Gina Bae
As the sun peeks through her window blinds, sophomore Hana Krieger groggily gets out of bed and stumbles toward her desk. Facing a day full of isolation, Zoom calls and Schoology assignments, she sets her computer aside and reaches for her makeup palette instead.
In the past two months, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to shelter-in-place orders across the U.S., the shutdown of various businesses and public spaces and closed down schools. With the increase in free time and anxiety during these uncertain times, many students have turned to various creative outlets to cope with their quarantine.
Designing a Better Mindset
From DIY mask-crafters to participants in Billy Porter's quarantine challenge, fashion has been a common outlet for students, with Krieger being one of Paly's student fashionistas.
Krieger said she relies on her passion for fashion to keep herself entertained and motivated by continuing to assemble and design outfits even while stuck at home.
"Usually certain (clothing) pieces inspire me," Krieger said. "I'll take that piece and center the entire outfit around it… Having the right accessories, hair, and makeup can really put (an outfit) together. (As for design,) I typically take thrifted clothes that I think could be cute with alterations and cut them up."
Kreiger said dressing up helps her start off her day productively, especially regarding her academics.
"I struggle with depression and one of the biggest motivations for me going to school is being able to wear cute outfits," Krieger said. "It helps me be in a better mindset… (and) my brain associates dressing up with school and productivity."
Krieger said she has also been practicing new makeup looks inspired by social media and the color stories of different eyeshadow palettes.
"I love playing with color and creating," Krieger said. "I'll either go monochromatic or complementary… I really like editorial makeup but it's also annoying to do on an everyday basis."
Sophomore Jasmine Kapadia said makeup is a source of motivation for her as well.
"I feel like a lot of the time, it's so easy to get up and fall into the rhythm of watching YouTube all day," Kapadia said. "So if I take the time out of my day in the morning to go through skincare and do a little bit of makeup, it's definitely something that can change up (my mindset) and make me feel better and more motivated."
Bake It 'Til You Make It
Baking's recent spike in popularity can be shown through the shortage of baking ingredients and Instagram's #quarantinebaking page of 163,000 posts and counting.
With his newfound free time, sophomore Siddhant Amberkar joined in on the trend, teaming up with his parents and sister to try out various recipes.
"I've always (liked) to bake, but now I can do it a lot more," Amberkar said. "I've taken up making sourdough bread, which is a pretty big challenge, and baking cakes. We (also) tried making pasta for the first time."
Two other student bakers are freshman Caroline Zhang and junior Edward Zhang. Caroline said she started teaching herself to bake during her quarantine.
"I've baked cupcakes, I've made bread, and I've made crepes," Caroline said. "(For) Mother's Day, I made my mom a cake; it was really fun. It's something that I normally wouldn't have the time to do."
Edward said cooking has helped him develop more patience and contributed to his art as well.
"I feel like cooking is the type of thing where you're never gonna get it the first time," Edward said. "You have to keep on trying over and over again. Through cooking, I realized that if you take the time to do each step perfectly, step-by-step, the outcome is totally worth all that patience. I think that's also helped me with my art, since I've taken more time to just think about what to draw and what to paint, what message I want in my art… I feel like my art's been more matured through cooking, in a sense."
Amberkar said his culinary experimentation has helped him relieve stress and bond with his family members.
"It makes me feel better to finish making food because you can enjoy it and feel good about yourself," Amberkar said. "That's nice, especially without social interaction."
Couplets, Cameras and Career-Starters
The shelter-in-place order has restricted the limits of photography, forcing Kapadia and Krieger to find creative ways to continue their hobby.
"I do portrait photography, but due to social distancing, I can't do it," Krieger said. "Yes, there are self-timer shoots, but they aren't the same. I don't like taking photos of myself, (and) I'm not able to manipulate the shot… Now I'm becoming an exclusive earring photographer."
Kapadia has turned to writing more poetry instead.
"Because I'm not communicating as much to other people, poetry is another way to express my feelings," Kapadia said. "Instead of talking to my friends and working directly through that way, it's just me and a piece of paper, and I'll work through (my feelings) that way."
Kapadia said she combined her passion for poetry and photography with a project in which she projected her poems "mutt" and "damn," onto herself while her mother took photos of it. She also said that her poetry often involves coming to terms with her own ethnicity, which has been particularly relevant recently due to the rise of xenophobia, harassment and hate crimes towards the Asian community brought by COVID-19.
"Being multicultural, my ethnicity is always something that I grappled with," Kapadia said. "I am Chinese, and it's interesting reckoning with the fact that there's a lot of racism going around right now and trying to look at my ethnicity as not a bad thing, trying to find positive things and reassure myself with (them)."
She said she started the project after local poetry slams were cancelled due to the stay at home order.
"I've always liked to perform my poems to give them another layer," Kapadia said. "Since I couldn't do that, I decided to try working them into photos and breathe some new life into them."
Meanwhile, sophomore Colleen Wang said she has also taken to writing during her quarantine, finishing her novella, "Roses Watered by a Robot's Tears" (now available on Amazon in both physical and digital form).
"It's set in the distant future, where humanity has progressed a lot with AI," Wang said. "It's a story about a robot being allowed to learn feelings and how that affects its life and the lives of people around them."
Wang said her main inspiration was a presentation by Kai-Fu Lee that she attended during her freshman year, which got her thinking about the future of AI.
"Another source of inspiration for me to write the book was the left-behind children in China," Wang said. "I was thinking of possible solutions to this problem… AI (and) missing parental guidance (led to a) robot mom idea."
She said she plans to pursue a career as an author.
"This is just the beginning," Wang said. "I'm really excited to write more and probably bring it to actual printing publishers."
Painting Positivity
In order to maintain her mental wellbeing and express her emotions about the pandemic, Caroline said she turned to watercolor and digital art.
"I've been drawing my thoughts and feelings in a log, and I do it every day," Caroline said. "The hope is that by the end of the quarantine, I can look back at how I felt during this time period."
Caroline said she decided to extend her logging method to others in the form of a website where members of the Paly community can send in their thoughts and feelings regarding their quarantine experience and have their responses displayed on the site.
"Through this website, I hope people come together and recognize that we're in this together," Caroline said. "There's a lot of shared feelings throughout the quarantine. A lot of people (shared) that it's helpful to have this time alone… and (that they) have been learning new hobbies and new things. It's also like a time capsule; after this time period passes, people can go back to the website and see how people thought."
Freshman Sean Sun said he picked up graphing calculator art, which helped him handle anxiety regarding his grades and the pandemic. So far, he has drawn art of various fictional characters and popular memes, each drawing taking about ten to 20 minutes to complete.
"I was exploring with my graphing calculator during one of my breaks in between my homework sessions and started doodling," Sun said. "I came up with a drawing and decided to make more. My process… is first getting a reference image and trying to follow the lines to make a pixelated version of the image."
Edward tried sculpting in addition to traditional art, while Colleen and Faustine have mainly stuck to digital art, with Faustine experimenting with oil paint as well.
"It's my way of relaxing," Edward said. "I also have a lot more time now so I can focus on creating a portfolio."
Helping the Community with Creativity
Edward and Faustine have taken their interests even further, creating their own organizations to help the community through their art.
Edward co-founded the clothing brand CX Apparel with two friends — fellow juniors Joyce Lin and Jeremy Huang — at the beginning of the Santa Clara stay at home order. The brand donates its profits to Palo Alto charities, including the Ecumenical Hunger Program. They've donated $100 so far and plan to donate $400-500 after collecting the money from their new hoodie sales.
"The base inspiration was basically just coming from two things," Edward said. "One was being part of (the Youth Community Service Club) and being able to work with EHP, (which made me realize) how important it is for a charity to exist in Palo Alto. The second thing was my friends because they're very fashionable people, and they were the ones to give me the inspiration to start a clothing brand."
As the creative director of CX Apparel, Edward said he creates the designs and guides the company in terms of their artistic themes. Despite the social isolation, the three juniors have managed to work together from the safety of their own homes.
"We FaceTime each other and talk about what's our next theme for our next release," Edward said. "Then we pick what (type of) apparel we want to design … Based on that, I start drawing designs that surround the theme. We go through each design and pick the ones we like… We (then) pick the colors… and that's how it goes into our store."
Edward said he has plans for the growth of CX Apparel after quarantine ends.
"Hopefully it is going to get bigger, because more people will feel comfortable buying our clothes and we can actually deliver them," Edward said. "We have a lot of people who've bought our T-shirts who are not from Palo Alto, but we can't deliver to them due to shelter-in-place restrictions. Once this whole thing is over, we'll be able to actually make it bigger and donate to all over the Bay Area."
In late April, Faustine and BASIS Independent Silicon Valley senior Sasha Afroz co-founded Artruism, an initiative of student artists who are trading their art to raise money for those who are in need.
"We have decided that we're going to have a different (organization) for each month," Faustine said. "For May, we're donating to the National Domestic Workers Alliance, because due to the quarantine, a lot of domestic service workers are being laid off, and they don't have a source of income. We are (now) moving onto supporting (Black Lives Matter) for June."
To support Artruism, people can donate to their chosen organization, send the proof of the donation through Artruism's Google form and commission the artists for various types of artwork depending on the amount they donated. Artists can also join their team and help draw the commissions in exchange for volunteer hours. They've raised $472 out of their $1000 goal so far.
"I think it's great to know that through different ways we can help out during quarantine, even with art," Faustine said. "Just knowing something I can do can help other people, it's nice to have that."

Michelin/CCS Competition: Le Mans 2030
The 28th Annual Michelin Challenge Design Competition for the College for Creative Studies (CCS) has just announced its winners. The college's transportation students were asked to design a Le Mans car for 2030, which produced some fascinating entries and a lot of excellent work – which can be seen in the galleries to the right of this column.
Students were asked to create a GTE class race car to win the Le Mans 24 Hours in the year 2030, and to utilise future-looking technologies, innovations and pioneering problem-solving skills to design a car to either reinforce the premium brand image of a company which is already famous for its historical successes, or ready to elevate its brand through a Le Mans win.
The panel of judges for this year's event were Clay Dean, design director, global advanced design, General Motors; Craig Metros, design director, North American Exterior, Ford Motor Company; and Nicho Vardis, design manager, SRT, Mopar and Motorsports, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
The winners were announced at an event at the A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education in Detroit, Mich. The winning CCS transportation students received scholarships as part of a $35,000 donation from Michelin to support the school's Transportation Design program.
L-R: Rick Rogers, president of CCS; Thom Roach, vice president of original-equipment marketing, Michelin North and South America; Kavish Latif; Joe Halaszynski; Dong Hun Joung; Ben Ebel, innovation deployment director of original equipment for Michelin North America and co-chair of Michelin Challenge Design
And the winners were...
First: Joe Halaszynski of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, with a Dyson-branded entry
Second: Dong Hun Joung of Busan, South Korea, with an Audi
Third: Kavish Latif of Agra, India, with an Aston Martin
Honourable Mentions: Alejandro Lozano-Robledo of Bogota, Colombia, with a Pagani and Lucas Sein of Atlanta, with a Tesla.
"An entry that was inspired by the Dyson brand was totally unexpected and executed beautifully. The thought of taking a vacuum cleaner and turning it into a car was out-of-the-box and I appreciate the level of detail that went into it," Vardis said.
"As a CCS Alumni, I was honored to be invited back to my alma mater as a judge for this competition. I was so impressed with each student's design journey, from early sketches to a finished scale model. As a designer, reviewing that journey and to see how they resolve issues with a final scale model is a great opportunity to see their concepts and solutions come to life," Metros said.
"Le Mans 2030 has been a very powerful and popular theme. The entries from the global competition and the CCS competition both provided insightful and innovative designs to showcase race cars of the future," said Thom Roach, vice president of original-equipment marketing, Michelin North and South America.
"The GTE entries are derived from production-based vehicles, so it was quite interesting to see how the CCS students successfully carried iconic design elements from current vehicles forward to 2030, while integrating innovative future technologies for both production and race vehicles."
The 2018 Michelin Challenge Design theme "Mobility, Utility, Flexibility: Designing for the Next Global Revolution", invites participants to create the next revolutionary pickup truck, or open-bedded vehicle. Entrants can now register at www.michelinchallengedesign.com.

Distributed Social Networking, one day soon?
This has to be the ultimate standing in social networking. Distributed social networking is going to happen at some point but in the meanwhile, we all have to put up with these crappy social networks.
I read a few things recently which got me thinking about this again… The main one centres around this read write web piece.
Jabber (XMPP) is an open instant messaging protocol used by millions of people daily. At WordPress.com we use Jabber to instantly deliver new blog posts and comments to subscribers.
Diso the project all about this went quiet back in 2010 it seems, which is a shame.
I fear Matt Mullenweg the great guy that he is, may not be able to provide the ultimate standing. The im.wordpress relies on wordpress.com too much for my liking. It would be great if there was a way to do most of the piping through other distributed means. I'd also love to see the ability to post comments/feedback through im? And why not? You got the persons details, and you can subscribe to the comments, why not replies?
The Internet needs a strong, independent platform for those of us who don't want to be at the mercy of someone else's domain. I like to think that if we didn't create WordPress something else that looks a lot like it would exist. I think Open Source is kind of like our Bill of Rights. It's our Constitution. If we're not true to that, nothing else matters.
The independent web is growing quite a bit. Although we have these great cloud servers for WordPress, the software that people run and install themselves is still as popular as ever. Our services are bringing more people online, but they're also bringing more people who want to own their own space on the web–they want to own a house instead of rent an apartment. When we were first starting out, I thought, "Downloading and uploading software, managing databases, no one wants to do that." But it turns out, a lot of people do.

Islamic State claim bombs that kill 86 in Baghdad
Baghdad has suffered many car bombings by Islamic State militants
Three suicide bombings claimed by the so-called Islamic State across Baghdad killed at least 86 people today, in the deadliest attacks in the Iraqi capital this year.
Security has gradually improved in Baghdad, which was the target of daily bombings a decade ago, but violence against security forces and Shia Muslim civilians is still frequent.
Large blasts sometimes set off reprisal attacks against the minority Sunni community.
The fight against Islamic State, which seized about a third of Iraq's territory in 2014, has exacerbated a long-running sectarian conflict in Iraq mostly between Sunnis and the Shia majority that came to power after the US-led invasion in 2003.
Such violence threatens to undermine US-backed efforts to defeat the militant group.
Today's bombings could also intensify pressure on Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to resolve a political crisis that has crippled the government for more than a month.
The first attack, a suicide car bomb at a bustling market in the Shi'ite Muslim area of Sadr City, killed at least 64 people during morning rush hour and wounded 68.
Two more blasts struck at the end of the working day.
A suicide bomber stormed a security checkpoint, killing 17 and wounding more than 30.
Another bomb went off at a checkpoint on a commercial thoroughfare in a predominantly Sunni district of western Baghdad, killing eight and wounding 20.
Brides and grooms
The first blast today was from a pickup truck packed with explosives which went off in the Sadr City area near a beauty salon in a bustling market at around 10am (8am Irish time).
Many of the victims were women including several brides who appeared to be getting ready for their weddings, sources said.
The bodies of two men said to be grooms were found in an adjacent barber shop.
Smoke was still rising from several shops hours after the explosion as a bulldozer cleared the burnt-out chassis of the vehicle used in the blast.
Islamic State said in statements circulated online by supporters that a car bomb had aimed at Shia militia fighters gathered in the area and two fighters wearing explosive vests targeted security forces in the later attacks.
Since 2014, Iraqi forces backed by US-led air strikes have driven the group back in the western province of Anbar and are preparing for an offensive to retake the northern city of Mosul.
A spokesman said today that Islamic State had lost two-thirds of the territory seized by the militants in 2014.
Yet the militants are still able to strike outside territory they control.
The ultra-hardline Sunni jihadist group, which considers Shia apostates, has claimed recent attacks across the country as well as a twin suicide bombing in Sadr City in February that killed 70 people.


Serious Croquet – No Prisoners Taken!
For extremists even though, the primary legitimate illustration of the activity appeared from the 1920's, when Herbert Swope, publisher of your Big apple Globe, created a brand new class on his Sands Position, Extensive Island estate. The study course was so massive that players needed to shout to 1 a different. It experienced sand traps, bunkers, rough, and Very long Island Sound ready during the distance. The closest the Brits got into a bit of extraordinary while in the croquet sense was in the event the Queen of Hearts walloped all around a handful of curled up hedgehogs using an up-ended flamingo in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
You do not just get your standard house croquet established to perform extraordinary; excessive croquet calls for heavy-duty tools. The mallets utilized in standard garden croquet are far too flimsy, and are effortlessly broken or shattered. It truly is not even unusual to shatter a ball in intense croquet. The Connecticut eXtremists have even produced their particular mallet, the Wedge-Face, that has the looks of some kind of medieval employ of execution. It has a wedge-face designed into a person conclusion on the mallet head for lifting the ball off the ground, and to the air and lets the participant to shoot the ball around most obstructions.

[Culpeper Times] CURTAINS: "Pirates…" The Very Model of a Modern Operetta
They fancy themselves a dangerous lot, but the grim list of killed and captured by the Pirates of Penzance is…nonexistent. Their job is to be fierce and take hostages, but somehow - dash it all! – the hostages always turn out to be orphans! And being orphans themselves, they just can't take ungentlemanly advantage. That means our pirates are no more successful now in 2019 than they were back in 1879. That's when this Gilbert and Sullivan jewel first held audiences captive with its rapier wit, and it's been swashing its buckles ever since.
Three cannon shots of congratulation to Riverside for staging this gold nugget and doing it justice. In a whimsical modification, director Catherine Flye has renamed this the "Rascals of the Rappahannock" and brought the pirates to Fredericksburg in the time of George III, as opposed to the Victorian era Cornwall coast.

DC Metro Theater Arts Review: 'The Pirates of Penzance (or the Rascals of the Rappahannock)' at Riverside Center
Riverside Center of the Performing Arts reprises Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, a two-act comic operetta that was first produced in December of 1879, and remains in production to this day! Director and Adaptor Catherine Flye gives the show (originally set in Cornwall) a local spin by placing the action on the banks of the Rappahannock River and offering the revised title Rascals of the Rappahannock.

Brilliant wit, successfully delivered, is a rare delight—to experience such wit, joyously sustained and sprinkled steadily over several hours may occur only a handful of occasions in a lifetime.

I'm hitting the rant-wheel again. Facebook's potential data breach (nearly 5 million accounts affected) illustrates just how frail and weak the web has become.
It's of our own doing too. We all jumped aboard the Facebook train and did so willingly. Well now, we're paying the price. Almost two-thirds of all internet traffic are siphoned through the what has been dubbed, The Trinet. To be brief, Facebook and Google now control over 70% of the worlds internet traffic. That my friend, is not good. Good perhaps, for cat GIFs or dog memes. But, not so much for the health of the web.
The web, exists as a series of connected nodes. I link to something, you link to something… we all link to something! That's the idea behind hypertext. Documents connected by hyperlinks. It's a beautiful idea, and it's what makes Wikipedia, blogs, and even "liking" things — so much fun.
A healthy network. Connected, strong hyperlinks.
The problem, is when large networks (like Facebook) contain hyperlinks behind closed doors. For example, if I don't have a Facebook account, I can't see a lot of the content, events, or posts behind the blue gates of Facebook. Mainly, that's because some people prefer private accounts, so a lot of that content is hidden for good reason. No judgement there. I get it. But, what private users might not realize, is that their interests and activity (regardless of your privacy settings) are publicly sold to the highest bidder. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Advertising is the crucible that has forged hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of online businesses and creators. Social media, newspapers, and bloggers all depend on that sweet sweet nectar: ad revenue. I've even taken a piece of that pie. Some ad networks spread web page bloat. Sending dreadfully large ad assets to otherwise small webpages, causing painfully long load times. Which, sucks. Or worse, cookie tracking. Not all ad networks are shitty though. Point is, it's not all bad out there. But, ad networks need to get their shit together too. That will probably be something I rant about another day.
A weak network, such as Facebook. Closed off, weak hyperlinks.
Alas, to make matters worse, last year several really terrible senators sponsored a bill that would allow ISPs to sell your browsing history to advertisers. Without consent from subscribers, mind you. Um, no thank you. It probably wouldn't be a big deal with consent, but that's not the point. It's the shear amount of power and the continuing lack of responsibility from ISPs, and Silicon Valley has been the problem and will continue to be the problem…
Unless, we the people — setup government oversight. Which sadly, doesn't seem like something this Whitehouse administration is keen on doing. This week, Paul Ford — legendary hypertext crusader and author called for the US to create a Digital Protection Agency. I 100% agree. It's in our best interest to keep our data safe and protected. We have consumer protections, environmental protections, safety boards, air traffic controllers, bank regulators, and financial comptrollers. Where's the Sheriff of the Wild Wild Web?
To catch up:
1. Facebook lost control of 50 million users' data to Cambridge Analytica, who weaponized it in the 2016 election;
2. Facebook has been freely giving backend data to ICE without a warrant;
3. Facebook has been monitoring private calls and texts of Android users. https://t.co/U0HD5VrJWj

I do have hope. The web is a resilient, transient, amorphous thing. It's changed a lot in the past 30+ years. Hell, it's changed me, for the better. If you too want to see a healthy web again, live extramurally. Dump Facebook. Buy your domain. Own a piece of the web, and fight the good fight. Don't forget to vote others into office that feel the same way.

Lil Yachty Fires Back at Ex-MLB Player for Criticizing His 'Monday Night Football' Halftime Performance
10/23/2018 by Michael Saponara
Ollie Millington/Redferns
Lil Yachty performs during day 3 of the 51st Festival d'ete de Quebec on July 7, 2018 in Quebec City, Canada.
Lil Yachty popped up during halftime of this week's Monday Night Football, performing his new song "Everything Good, Everything Right" in a striking black-and-white video shot in an empty warehouse. Apparently some MNF viewers weren't too familiar with the 21-year-old rapper, taking to social media to question what they just witnessed.
One criticism that caught Yachty's eye came from former MLB pitcher Travis Blackley, which prompted a shrewd rebuttal from the Quality Control rapper. "Absolute trash! How does this even pass for talent!" the left-handed pitcher tweeted, bashing Yachty. "Nothing about this so called music is real! What's ur voice actually sound like without Autotune? It can't be any worse that this."
The Atlanta native wasn't having it and swiftly clapped back by going after Blackley's unemployment. "That's why u a free agent bitch," Lil Boat quipped with a series of crying laughing emojis.
The halftime performance supported Lil Yachty's just-released Nuthin' 2 Prove album, which came out Friday.
"I [know] I pissed n---as off when all they wanted to do was watch football and my chunky ass popped up at half time dancing around a vacant warehouse I'm [everywhere] bitch," he tweeted after seeing some of the initial reaction to his ESPN appearance.

First of all, I need to explain my absence during this last year an apologize to my listeners for it.
2012 was a roller coaster ride for me and my family, with my husband recovering from his cancer treatments, the struggle against breast cancer and eventual death of one of my dearest friends, and finally, the death of my mother.
I simply could not find the motivation to deal with much of anything in the "real world."
I am back now, and somewhat embarrassed by the fact that I did not plow through things and do what I needed to do. On the other hand, I know my friends and those of you who have come to know me over the years will understand.
Now, let's pick up on the things that interest us north of Bangor!


The restaurant "La Reginella d'Italia Kosher" was born in the Jewish quarter of Rome with the aim of recovering the ancient culinary traditions of the area, by offering dishes typical of the Judeo-Roman tradition revisited in a modern and gourmet key.
the food is extraordinary as well as the presentation. Highly recommended.
The restaurant "La Reginella d'Italia Kosher" is located in the heart of Rome's Jewish Quarter, in Via del Portico d'Ottavia 65/61, where you can taste the flavours of the historical dishes of the Jewish-Roman tradition along with the reinterpretation of great classics.
In the most artistic district of Rome, or certainly one of the most fascinating, this place deserves all the excellent judgments that it has achieved: the environment has a relaxing elegance, the cuisine has a vast choice and dishes to satisfy every desire; you can also find a wisely guided wine selection, attentive and adequate staff.
Fish fresh exclusively kosher dishes based on bottarga, sea bass, sea bream, tuna, yellowtail and turbot, in addition to the typical kosher fish soup.
The lamb chops is undoubtedly one of the most emblematic dishes of the Jewish-Roman culinary tradition: it is composed of tender and tasty lamb ribs.
The artichoke jewish- style is a roman typical dish and in particular of the Jewish Ghetto. It is a recipe capable of enhancing the aroma and flavor of this vegetable.
