![]() Even the exchange of currency for everyday goods and services such as groceries or haircuts involves physical currencies less and less due to the growing popularity of debit cards, credit cards, and mobile payments.Ĭryptocurrencies are digital currencies operating independently of a central bank or authority, in which encryption techniques are used to regulate the generation of units of currency as well as to verify the transfer of funds. Modern technology utilizes sophisticated currency exchange mechanisms and systems to exchange currencies between digital accounts rather than physically. While modern currency is physically represented by coins and paper bills, most large-scale currency transactions are done electronically. Before fiat money existed, currencies were usually backed by a commodity such as gold or silver. The value of these currencies is backed by the promise of their issuing governments, which makes them fiat money (currency declared by the government to be an official medium of payment but is not backed by a physical commodity). Major currencies in the world today take on the physical form of paper bills or coins which are easily carried on a person, but most of a person's currency is typically stored in digital accounts. Modern currency is much more uniform and regulated. ![]() Paper currency, on the other hand, was invented in Asia and was brought back to Europe by Marco Polo after his travels to Asia. For practical reasons, Lydian currency took on the form of a round coin, which became the first ever standardized unit of currency. The first "official" currency was minted in the seventh century BC by King Alyattes of Lydia in modern-day Turkey. Some examples include coins, barley, gold, silver, squirrel pelts, 8-ton carved limestone rocks, salt, knives, cowrie shells, stamps, potato mashers, peppercorn, tea bricks, and cheese.Īs history has shown, anything that a group of people in an economy attaches value to can be used as currency. Throughout history, currency has taken many different forms. Before this, it is assumed that bartering, which is the exchange of goods and services without the use of money, was likely used. ![]() What is Currency?Ĭurrency is a universal medium of exchange for goods and services in an economy, and it is believed to have been used as such dating back at least 3,000 years. The USD in a currency pair with any of the others is known as a major currency pair. dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Japanese yen (JPY), British pound (GBP), Australian dollar (AUD), Canadian dollar (CAD), and the Swiss franc (CHF). Major Currencies-This refers to a short list of the most traded currencies, which generally stay the same year-to-year. Interbank (bank-to-bank) Rate-This is the wholesale exchange rate that banks use between themselves. The first currency in a currency pair is called the base currency, while the second is called the quote currency. A pip is sometimes called a point.Ĭurrency Pair-A quote of the relative value of one currency unit against another currency unit. For example, 3 pips are the difference between the currency quote of EUR/USD 1.2800/1.2803. Pip-A pip is the smallest unit of value in a bid-ask spread. Some call this profit a fee or commission. As financial middlemen, most will set exchange rates of their own at bid-ask spreads that return a percentage as profit for doing business. Real-world currency exchanges with brokers, banks, or businesses typically do not follow precise market rates. Theoretically, buyers want the smallest possible spreads, while sellers want the highest spreads. The forex is able to facilitate the receipt or payment of units of currency that are equal in value.īid Price-The price that a buyer is willing to pay for a unit of currency.Īsk Price-The price that a seller is willing to accept for a unit of currency.īid-Ask Spread-The difference between the bid and ask price. This market is a necessity because one unit of currency very rarely equals exactly one unit of another currency. Below is a short list of some of the important terms pertinent to foreign currency exchange.Įxchange Rate-The value of one currency expressed in terms of another.įorex-The foreign exchange market (forex) is a global, decentralized, over-the-counter market for the trading of currencies and is the largest market in the world (followed by the credit market).

![]() Like I said, to do things like this and to have fun with what you love. It sounds like you have a lot of interesting projects in the works. A lot of it's actually true, but it's switched a little bit. I co-wrote the show, co-created the show with one of the writers here in LA. This person who actually is driving it is a huge name in the industry, and I was very humbled. I also have another one that's going to be extremely big, but I can't say anything about it. I start filming at the end of this month, but that's something later down the line. Then I'm also doing something with the Food Network right now. I could jump out of a plane, and into some water, and eat some grass, and keep on going. If you see my stuff, I love to make fun of myself. They're extremely open to, "Hey chef, what do you want to do?" It's always, "You have the military, you have the kids, you have this, have that, have family, have spouses, something fun." I like to have fun. I can say what I want to do how I want to do it. I decided to do that one over "Chef and the City" because "Chef and the City" was one of the early ones where I didn't have free reign. I'm actually signed with Gordon Ramsay and part of his team to create my own show. We read that you're going to host a new series called "Chef and the City." Can you tell us a little bit about what that show will involve?Īctually, "Chef and the City," that one is actually on hold, but what I will tell you is that I am doing another. ![]() I got to count my macros which is great and doing all the things they do, but are they managing themselves the right way? Is it too much sauce in it? Is it this? Is it that? I know everyone's into counting macros, and counting this, and counting that, but a lot of people are forgetting just the basics, and that's themselves to understand. The suicides, all that, it was a stigma that came along with it, so that ideation and all those things you're not a man, you're not a soldier, or you're not a she-woman, or whoever, it was shunned upon secretly, not openly.Īnything that was put on there, I actually had to personally approve myself whether it be the taste profile, the looks. My leadership, because I was in a very high position, back then things were different. When it was offered then, "Do you want help? Go to your leadership," I did that. I knew very early on that was going on with me when that happened. I used cooking to mask a lot of that when I started. That's actually part of the journey of why I'm here right now as Chef Rush. I do combat that, but for me, that was the start of a journey that I didn't know I was supposed to take. The only part about that is it happens a lot with the kids, so I have to try and combat that. They feel comfortable by grouping up and just attacking. You have your triggers, which people are my triggers as well because on social media, you get a lot of trolls and people that can't do what you do. One of the things that I learned to do was to use people as my coping tools. People ask me how I stay grounded, how I cope. One of my other sisters, she helped the blind live in communities. I had another brother who retired as an officer in the Navy. Then I had one of my sisters, she was in special education. My other brother, he was a Merchant Marine. They were already older, mature teenagers. It was eight of us, so the next one up from me is 13 years older. My younger sister, she's a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force. Army and how did that time shape your cooking career? ![]() When you eat the food, you want to say, "Okay, this chef, he put love into this. I can go very fancy, but I try to capture, regardless if I'm doing extremely fancy or extremely simple, I'm trying to capture the heart, that passion. I mean, you think about demographics, where you're from, Southern food, Italian food, Asian food, New York food, LA food here, all of it's so very different. That's when I realized all food is not created equal. When I joined the military and did all those other things, they weren't all the same. Rejection Proof: How I Beat Fear and Became Invincible Through 100 Days of Rejection, by Jia Jiang, tells the story of Jiang’s journey through “Rejection Therapy” to overcome his fear of rejection. (There was some serious griping about brand name schools, particularly the Ivy League, in Chapters 2 through 4 that’s safe to skip!) Take Bruni’s advice and make the best of your college experience, instead of relying on the college to give you the best experience. He gives plenty of examples, with long lists of “non-Ivy school” graduates who reached the apex of success, becoming top CEOs or MacArthur Genius Grant recipients. Bruni argues that success comes from the students themselves, not the brand name colleges on their diplomas.

Prior to Villanova, Bray was the defensive line coach at Western Kentucky (1995-96) and the defensive coordinator at Duquesne (1993-94). In 1997, Villanova captured the Atlantic 10 Championship and was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference's Team of the Year with a perfect 11-0 regular season mark. He helped the Wildcats emerge as a national power in Division I-AA. In 2003, he participated in the NFL Minority Fellowship program for the Denver Broncos and worked with the linebackers and defensive coordinator Larry Coyer during training camp.īray is very familiar with the City of Philadelphia, having served as defensive ends coach on the Main Line at Villanova from 1997 to 1999. The Panthers competed in five bowl games during Bray's coaching tenure, winning the 2001 Tangerine Bowl and the 2002 Insight Bowl, while competing in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl after winning the 2004 Big East title.

And him bringing the digital impressions of his co-workers along for the ride is outright horrifying. Daley retreating into an online space is no longer novel or endearing, it’s the norm. This is 2017 (well, soon to be 2018), though and we’re all meant to occupy online space. In a pre-Internet age, that’s a charming Never-Ending Story kind of tale. He’s clearly someone who feels ostracized, wrongly or not, and has retreated into a technological fantasy world. But the archetype he represents is unmistakable. I don’t know what Robert Daley’s search history is like. They’re plunging even deeper into the online abyss now, such is their lust to operate unchecked.” ![]() And so these same guys get VERY ornery when that online freedom is challenged in any way by valid criticism about racism, injustice, sexism, and privilege. The disconnect between the freedom some of those guys had in real life versus online was staggering. Back then, white guys could run amok online. “There’s a lot of money to be had in pretending that the internet is the same place it was back in 2006, or raging against the way it isn’t. But to understand what makes “USS Callister” so fun, it’s important to understand what makes Daley such a stomach-churning villain. We haven’t even mentioned yet that almost the entirety of the episode takes place in a simulation approximating a Star Trek-esque universe. “USS Callister” ends up being really, really fun. Worse still, creating a techno-fantasy universe and trapping your co-worker’s digital impressions within it as prisoners seems more terrifying and plausible than ever. Most importantly, however, everyone is very, very “online.” The idea that some Tron-like techno fantasy universe can solve all of your problems is laughable. Comic book movies make approximately a trillion dollars a second, and even the Luddites carry around computers in their pockets that could have somehow ended the Cold War. A future more distant than we could have possibly ever imagined. If Charlie Brooker wrote “USS Callister” in 1991, Robert Daley could have been a Revenge of the Nerds-style folk hero: creating a universe where there wasn’t one before just so that he could finally be in control of his life.īut this isn’t 1991. In an era before nerd culture was mainstream culture, he could have been endearing. ![]() Let me take you under my wing and help you with that.” He’s an undeniable genius with suspect social skills just walking through life as though he’s waiting for someone to step up and say “hey, I’ve noticed you seem to have trouble talking to people. He’s also the kind of character archetype who could have been a protagonist in the not-so-distant past. Robert Daley (Jesse Plemons) is a shitty man. The superficial angle is that at its core, “USS Callister” is the story of a shitty man released at the tail end of a year whose most relevant and consistent theme has been the exposure (and in some notable, terrifying exceptions: elevation) of shitty men. And also in a deeper, almost spiritual right story/right time sense. The timing is right in a kind of superficial “hey I recognize that from the Twitters and Facebooks!” sense. |
