The EUR/USD weekly forecast remains tilted to the downside, as US data shows resilience and fading odds of a January rate cut by the Fed. Markets ignored the improved Eurozone data, maintaining the selling pressure. Technically, the EUR/USD price needs to overcome the 1.1680 hurdle to relieve the selling pressure. The EUR/USD pair struggled throughout the week, losing approximately 0.7%. Although there were some positive data points from the Eurozone, the pair struggled to gain ground due to the US dollar’s strength as the job market remained stable and yields were steady. –Are you interested in learning more about forex…

As much as it is about every part of Dublin that ever passed by James Joyce’s once-young eyes, Ulysses is also a book about books, and about writ­ing and speech—as myth­ic invo­ca­tion, as seduc­tion, chat­ter, and rhetoric, ful­some and emp­ty. Words—two-faced, like open books—carry with them at least two sens­es, the mean­ing of their present utter­ance, and the ver­so shades of his­to­ry. This is at least part­ly the import of Joyce’s myth­i­cal method, as it is that of all expos­i­tors of ancient texts, from preach­ers and the­olo­gians to lit­er­ary crit­ics. It seems par­tic­u­lar­ly sig­nif­i­cant, then, that the pas­sage Joyce chose for…

I said to my wife, ‘That guy has got to be in the show!'” Recalling his audition, Van Zandt described it as “a very funny moment” when he was…

It’s nearing a quarter-century since the retirement of ​“Prince” Naseem Hamed, Sheffield’s world champion boxer of Yemeni heritage. For a while, in the run-up to the new millennium, he was everywhere: transcending the sports section to provide primetime entertainment and front-page news, bolstering his swelling celebrity with both combative talent (career record: 36 wins, only one loss) and a showman swagger that fitted the shameless Nineties to a tee. What the Gallagher brothers were to the festival stage, so Hamed was to the boxing ring. Just as Oasis are back among us, so too is Prince Naz – albeit in the form of this Sly…

For much of the last half-century, California benefited from a powerful first-mover advantage. Dense networks of talent, capital, and research institutions allowed the state to absorb policy mistakes that would have crippled competitors. High spending and taxes, restrictive housing rules, and regulatory complexity were treated as nuisances rather than binding constraints, because growth could outstrip their costs. That margin of error has narrowed dramatically. What California is now experiencing is not a cyclical tech downturn or a post-pandemic anomaly. It is a measurable, policy-driven decline in relative competitiveness. The most important evidence is not that tech employment has fallen in…
