EUR/USD’s extended fall last week suggests that rise from 1.1467 has completed at 1.1807 already. Fall from there is seen as the third leg of the corrective pattern from 1.1917. Initial bias stays on the downside this week for retesting 1.1467. Break there will pave the way to 100% projection of 1.1917 to 1.1467 from 1.1807 at 1.1357. ON the upside, above 1.1682 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral first. But risk will stay on the downside as long as 1.1807 resistance holds, in case of recovery. In the bigger picture, as long as 55 W EMA (now at…

It took 90 years to complete. But, in 2011, scholars at the University of Chicago finally published a 21-volume dictionary of Akkadian, the language used in ancient Mesopotamia. Unspoken for 2,000 years, Akkadian was preserved on clay tablets and in stone inscriptions until scholars deciphered it during the last two centuries. In the past, we’ve published audio that lets you hear the reconstructed sounds of Akkadian (<a title="Permanent Link to Hear The Epic of Gilgamesh Read in the Original Akkadian and Enjoy the Sounds of Mesopotamia” href=”https://www.openculture.com/2023/03/listen-to-the-epic-of-gilgamesh-being-read-in-its-original-ancient-language-akkadian.html” rel=”bookmark”>Hear The Epic of Gilgamesh Read in the Original Akkadian and Enjoy the Sounds of Mesopotamia).

We must find another word for what happens to us during the films of Béla Tarr. We don’t observe them without them observing us right back. We don’t listen to them; the sounds and songs creep around us, the manifestation of unhinged but repressed emotion in endless repetitions. The movies become music boxes. Even in the dark, bitter nowhere he made his cinematic home—the same phantom towns beset by wild dogs and barflies with faces like old gourds and uncured meat—we hear a town’s every thought. We don’t consider them, because he insists we think about life instead of the…

For My Sunday Song #467, we are talking “Bleed it Out” by Linkin Park. The song is off their 2007 album ‘Minutes to Midnight and was the 2nd single off the album. The song went to #1 in the UK on their Rock chart and to #2 in the US and the Alternative charts (#3 on the Mainstream Rock Chart). It went 4x platinum in the U.S. which is crazy for a song that didn’t break the Top 40 on the Hits chart. The album was also produced by Rick Rubin, so they brought out the big guns. The song…

Recently on Facebook, I shared my Café Hayek post titled “Lower-Priced Goods are a Blessing, Not a Curse.” I prefaced this share with this remark: “Protectionism is the theory that 10+2=6, and 10-2=16. And protectionists proudly and tirelessly defend this theory, happy to dismiss as ‘elitists,’ ‘experts,’ or ‘globalists’ those of us who point out that 10+2=12, and that 10-2=8.” Of course, my description of protectionism isn’t literally true. And yet it does truly capture protectionism’s essence, which is the bizarre belief that a greater abundance of goods and services made available from sources outside of a nation’s boundaries reduces…

The Liam Rosenior era at Chelsea began with a win after goals from Jorrel Hato, Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu and Pedro Neto secured a 5-1 victory over Charlton in the FA Cup Third Round. The former Strasbourg manager was officially confirmed as the Blues boss on Tuesday and his first outing with the London club was a happy one as they ran out comfortable winners at The Valley. The scoreline perhaps did a slight disservice to the hosts, who for spells gave their Premier League visitors plenty to think about and pulled one back through Miles Leaburn. But, in the…

The Nashville Predators are starting to play better as they remain in the trade rumors. Nashville got the bump from the noise surrounding Ryan O’Reilly, Steven Stamkos, and Jonathan Marchessault. GM Barry Trotz always believed in his club and that they could turn it around. NHL Rumors: Is There a Steven Stamkos Deal to be Made? Nashville is up to 44 points and just two back of the final wildcard spot in the Western Conference. Despite a slow start, Stamkos is up to 18 goals on the season and is shooting the puck better than he did to start the…
