Yen hits key 160 level for third session, dollar buoyed by Gulf woes

Yen hits key 160 level for third session, dollar buoyed by Gulf woes

Published by Sam Flores

HONG KONG, June 5 : The Japanese yen is testing the 160 barrier on Friday, prompting pushback from Japanese officials, while the U.S. dollar is on track for a weekly gain as Gulf tensions fuel safe-haven flows. The yen weakened to the critical 160-per-dollar mark briefly in early trades, hitting the level for the third straight session despite verbal warnings from authorities. The 160 level is widely seen in markets as a line in the ‌sand ⁠for potential official intervention. Japan is ready to respond appropriately at any time on foreign exchange and reserves the right to take “decisive action” against excessive volatility, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said on Friday. The yen is now set for the fourth straight week of decline, a streak not seen since February, mostly wiping out the gains driven by intervention over the past month at a cost of $73 billion. “The critical question remains whether officials are willing to resume their battle against formidable macro headwinds” including elevated energy prices, robust U.S. data, and higher yields, wrote Tony Sycamore, …

A Typical Therapy Session | Psychology Today

Published by Jenni Sidey

Starting therapy can feel very overwhelming, especially when you do not know what to expect. Spoiler alert: there is no such thing as a “perfect” therapy session. Many people come to therapy worried about saying the right things or having the right insights, maybe even showing up with a list of ideas or feelings. Therapy culture has created the idea that there is a “right” way to show up, when what matters is showing up for yourself. I am going to try to break this complex practice of “therapy” into a few important sections that will help you understand what takes place in a session. Show Up As You Are Sometimes you come into sessions feeling eager to talk and have a lot to say. Sometimes you are tired or overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Sometimes you are proud of yourself. Sometimes you are annoyed that we are “still talking about the same thing.” All of these versions of you are welcome. There is no way to predict how the session will go …

Zeem celebrates 350,000th successful charging session at LAX

Published by skeptic

Electric logistics firm Zeem Solutions celebrated some good reliability news at ACT Expo last week, after its commercial charging depot at LAX hit a huge milestone, surpassing 350,000 successful charging sessions as one of the highest-throughput charging facilities in the US. “What the 350,000-session milestone really measures is reliability at scale,” says Rick Eckert, Vice President of Operations at Zeem Solutions. “Every one of those sessions represents a fleet vehicle that needed to get back on the road on time. The fact that we have been able to deliver that consistently, across an increasingly diverse set of vehicles and duty cycles, is what gives our customers the confidence to expand their electric fleets and gives us the confidence to invest in the next generation of depots.” Zeem’s message has consistently been that that reliability isn’t just about making sure EV chargers work when you plug your car into them (and, for the record, Zeem’s do, with the first 4 months of 2026 delivering more than 75,000 charging sessions and dispensing a whopping 3.2 million kWhs …

Why a Rowing Machine Session Benefits You More Than Other Common Forms of Cardio

Why a Rowing Machine Session Benefits You More Than Other Common Forms of Cardio

Published by Jenni Sidey

The humble row machine can often be overlooked, gathering dust in the corner of the gym. But, with its inclusion in fitness races like HYROX, it’s making a bit of a comeback. That’s because the rower can supercharge your cardio routine. Below, we break down rowing machine benefits: What Are a Rowing Machine’s Benefits? Like most intense cardio workouts, the rower is an absolute beast when it comes to boosting your VO₂ max , the efficiency with which your heart is able to pump oxygen to your muscles during exercise. Rowing makes multiple big muscles (legs, hips, core, back, and arms) work all at once, so your heart and lungs need to pump a lot of oxygen-rich blood every stroke,” explains fitness warrior and Tactical Athlete Farren Morgan. In one eight-week study from 2021, beginners rowed three times a week (two steady 30-minute rows and one high-intensity interval session) with their VO₂ max rising about 10 percent. “Because the rower can load the entire body very quickly, it pushes fitness to the limit,” says Morgan. …

Beep! Beep! Magic Coach Jamahl Mosley’s Pregame Media Session Interrupted by False Alarms

Beep! Beep! Magic Coach Jamahl Mosley’s Pregame Media Session Interrupted by False Alarms

Published by Sam Flores

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Evidently, the alarm system at Orlando’s Kia Center did not want to hear any talk about the Magic potentially going to a Game 7 against the Detroit Pistons. The alarms began blaring in the arena during Magic coach Jamahl Mosley’s pregame media availability in advance of Game 6 of the series on Friday night, doing so while he was being asked if injured forward Franz Wagner might be able to play in a Game 7. And as that question was being asked, the horns started. “That’s not a good sign,” Mosley said. Mosley went on to answer the question, explaining that it all hinges on how Wagner responds to treatment. He did that while a computerized voice gave instructions on what people who were in the building should have been doing at that moment. The alarms returned again a few seconds later, and Mosley decided that was his cue to end the talk. “All right, that’s good, thank you, appreciate it,” Mosley said. For the record, a team official confirmed that …

This was an improvement from last month’s 1.4bps tail, but more concerningly this was the 11th tail in a row for 5Y issues. The bid to cover was also on the muted side, at 2.330, up from 2.287, it was below the six-auction average of 2.348.  The internals improved notably, however, with Indirects awarded 72.3%, above last month’s 61.9% and also well above the recent average of 62.1%.
