Trevor Bauer's Twitter antics are becoming a distraction for him and the Dodgers


Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer star is known for partly his online presence. Bauer got into it on Twitter with New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard over the weekend as the two trolled each other, posted screenshots of comments and traded some social media barbs.To get more twitter news, you can visit shine news official website.

David Samson broke down the impact these online situations can have on the players and their teams on Monday's episode of "Nothing Personal with David Samson."

Samson, the former Marlins president, introduced the topic saying, "You know we sign these players, we want them to be good, we want them to perform, we want to win, we want rings. We sign players who we hope we're getting a bargain, we hope we're not overpaying too much, we hope winning the offseason translates to winning the season. We hope, we hope, we hope."

He said the Dodgers signed Bauer because they wanted to repeat, and that they had to answer to what the San Diego Padres did this winter. L.A. inked Bauer to a three-year, $102 million deal earlier this month. Samson says he gets it, but also says you have to really look at the player you're signing.The podcast host says that eventually, it has to go to someone higher up. "I want to tell you from a front office standpoint, at what point do we have to get involved?" he asks.

Samson says they would need to tell him that you don't want to provide bulletin board material to any other team. They should explain they're not trying to muzzle or mute him, but ask if he will give them the "30-second rule," which is taking 30 seconds to review whether that is something good to tweet, Samson explained.

"Players have enough distractions right now," Samson says and adds that more distractions will come from this when the questions come at media availabilities.

"These types of distractions hurt a team, Samson concludes. "To me, Bauer's off to a bad start."

Jack Ma's Ant IPO Tests China's Tolerance of Entrepreneurship


China has made a habit of confounding many of the predictions made about it beyond the main one of growth. Prognosticators and pundits have long made calls on how opening the economy would move China along the road to more of a democratic model. While China has opened up in many, many ways in the past few decades, President Xi Jinping has removed his own term limits and looks to be consolidating more power in the ruling party. So in some ways, China is moving further away from democratic reform even as it continues down the road of opening its economy.To get more news about ant finance, you can visit shine news official website.

The version of the market economy that China has embraced is similarly uneven. Owning a small to medium-sized business in China is encouraged, and entrepreneurship was a major driver of growth in the economy. Due to the scale of China's economy, many medium-sized businesses are in fact quite large in terms of global ranking. However, large sections of the domestic economy still have state-owned enterprises (SOEs) at the top, which work in concert with regulators.

Somehow, China still continues to push ahead through what appears to be a maze of contradictions to outside observers. Case in point: we are looking at the seeming censure of Jack Ma, one of China's most successful tech entrepreneurs, but this saga is playing out at the same time as China is poised to give unprecedented access to its financial sector to Wall Street investment banks.2

Jack Ma is China's richest person, and he created that wealth through Alibaba Holding Group Limited (BABA) and its payment and financial service twin Ant Group that grew out of Alipay—a system designed to support the core e-commerce business. The two companies taken together have an enormous presence in China and have enjoyed surprisingly little regulatory pushback up until now.

There were skirmishes between Ma's companies and the Chinese regulators, but the intensity has been heating up in the past few years. Alibaba now finds itself under an antitrust investigation, Ant is in the targets of regulators at the People's Bank of China (the central bank), and new draft antimonopoly rules seem squarely aimed at Ma's empire, as they deal specifically with consumer data and differential pricing. The question is why this is all happening now.

The answer seems to be that Ma upset the wrong people. A speech given by Ma in Shanghai in October where he was very critical of regulators has been reported as the trigger for President Xi personally intervening to halt the IPO and force Ant Group to shrink down to a pure payments service.3

Whereas Alibaba sticks largely to e-commerce, Ant's fintech presence ultimately encroaches on an area where SOEs still rule—banking and financial services. So even as China opens up part of its financial sector to foreign financial firms, it is moving to rein in homegrown competition to state-owned commercial banks.

Antai MBA Stands Out for Overall Satisfaction

MBA program from Antai College of Economics and Management of Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) ranks the world's No.53 according to the latest Financial Times Global MBA Ranking on February 8th 2021. Overall Satisfaction, a newly added item, is an average by alumni surveyed based on a total score of 10. Antai MBA ranks No.2 among a strong echelon of Asia-Pacific business schools with a high score of 9.33, only second to Tsinghua University. This number fully depicts the high recognition of Antai MBA program and its value by the alumni interviewed. As the only Chinese local business school listed among the global top 100 for eight consecutive years, SJTU Antai retains a firm position among the world's top 10 in terms of Employed at Three Months, Salary Percentage Increase and Career Progress Rank thanks to its continued excellence in talent education, branding and graduates' competitiveness.To get more news about Antai business college, you can visit acem.sjtu.edu.cn official website.
In addition, the MBA program of SJTU Antai College ranks 61st among QS Global MBA Rankings in 2021, which becomes the only local business school in Chinese mainland elected among the top 100 for two consecutive years. "Business and Management" of Shanghai Jiao Tong University is also the only discipline of economics and management in Yangtze Delta region among the list of "World-Class Disciplines" according to Chinese Ministry of Education's "Dual World-Class" initiative to build world-class universities and world-class disciplines.
Both tier-1 academic discipline and professional master degree of SJTU Antai's Master of Business Administration Program rank A+ in accordance with the 4th Discipline Evaluation and first Professional Master Degree evaluation by Chinese Ministry of Education, while the college's management science and engineering ranks A, thus enabling the comprehensive strength of the college among the top 2 across the nation. The new strategy of "Two types of scholarship, horizontal (academic) and vertical (industry), reinforcing each other and connecting theory with practice" proposed by Dean Chen Fangruo who took office in 2018 aims to open up a new learning dimension that closely combines theory and practice for alumni and students, as well as strives to assume social responsibility of knowledge innovation and talent training as a top-tier business school. Behind the outstanding figures and results on various rankings at home and abroad highlight Antai MBA's profound cultivation of project quality and the school's ongoing investment of resources on projects.

Chinese rocket companies secure local government support for research

Two young Chinese rocket have secured deals with local governments for the establishment of major launch vehicle research and production facilities. The agreements made in September demonstrate ongoing and deepening support of commercial space endeavors by Chinese provincial and local governments.To get more news about china industry research centers, you can visit acem.sjtu.edu.cn official website.

Beijing-based Galactic Energy will construct a base in Jianyang, a county-level city under the administration of Chengdu, a city of 16 million in southwest China. Chengdu is the provincial capital of Sichuan province and already hosts major traditional space sector activity.The facility in Jianyang will be for research, development and production of liquid propellant rocket engines for Galactic Energy’s Pallas series launch vehicles. The base has a planned total investment of about $225 million. A signing ceremony (Chinese) took place Sept. 3.

The partially reusable Pallas-1 will be capable of launching four metric tons to low Earth orbit (LEO) or two tons to Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO). A test flight is currently slated for late 2022.

Galactic Energy is currently preparing to launch its first rocket with the mission expected in early November. The Ceres-1 solid rocket is expected to launch from Jiuquan in the Gobi Desert carrying a single satellite. The mission is understood to be named Jianyang through sponsorship.

Ceres-1 consists of three solid stages using Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene fuel and a liquid propellant upper stage. The launcher will be capable of carrying a 350-kilogram payload to low Earth orbit.

Galactic Energy, full name Beijing Xinghe Dongli Space Technology Co. Ltd., was established in February 2018. The firm also raised $21.5 million in late 2019 and around $43 million in total.

Privately-funded rocket and small satellite companies have proliferated since 2014, when the central government opened up segments of the space sector to outside investment. A number of companies have secured arrangements with local governments across China to host their activities.

Other notable developments include a major commercial aerospace base in the city of Wuhan, central China, and the recent establishment of a coastal facility in the eastern province of Shandong for sea launches and launch vehicle and satellite production.

I Wanna Commit Suicide for Massive Failure Pain

Hello everybody, I am new to posting, I read a lot everyday in the forums, but never the opportunity to post. I am a 21 year old student right now and for me making money is pretty much null. However I have been experiencing Forex trading for about 1 year since I started learning a lot.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.

　　I would like to tell you my long story, and yes, I know 1 year isn't a lot, but I really trained hard this 1 year and all the end I am pretty much disappointed. I like to post this to hear what you think about and because as I have also read in other posts, it is very helpful for newbies. If you are a newbie and you think Forex will get you rich quick, well it MIGHT start giving you the path, but by the end, the probability of FAILURE is very high if you keep having the mindset of the quick-scheme of getting rich. It is very easy to be making dollars, you are like in a comfortable zone, but once you hit the losing zone... oh man!!.. how painful it is...

　　So, How did I get to lose even after reading all the psycological stuff, all the “Don't get greedy”, all the “It is all based on managing money and even after experiencing several Losses” and thinking“I am ready and experienced to do this”？

　　The answer is pretty simple but yet different from the typical. You feel you are special, you think you are different than the others. After experiencing everything, you find new methods and try to be that “special market guru”that after reading the forums, you will finally develop that “holy grail”that you are waiting for, and be the new hidden Warren Buffet.

　　And yes, after multiple 1k losses of accounts (luckily made), I was making outstanding results, thinking I was the market guru. No joke, I turned from 200 dollars to almost 7,000 dollars in 1 month. And lost it all in 1 day.

　　I thought about killing myself. I don't know what happened yesterday. I tried to follow a management system, but sometimes in my head was, if I made 200 dollars to 7k, why can't I just double my account in a very good opportunity.

　　My trading life which started actually exactly 1 year ago, trading was in chinese for me. I didn't understand absolutely anything, however I am the type of person that whenever I want something I get addicted to it, so the past year has been hours of dedication into the markets. As a newbie, I started like everyone else; losing. However I learned about the patterns, indicators, pschological stuff, support and resistance, rebounces, corrections.

　　Pretty much all the basics.And here goes my first attempt after learning the basics: I started with 200 dollars. Traded some pairs based on basic knowledge. I wasn't doing bad, some wins, some loses. For me it was pretty much gaining experience. However, I started having a major lose streak, and I didnt learn anything about emotions. So guess what？ Account blown up.

What Kind of Traders Earns Profit?

Trading significantly differs from other sectors in terms of the win rate, which is as low as 2%-3%. People engaging in transactions are usually like the following:To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.

　　Type 1: With less than three-year experience, they suffer from both losses and depression. Most traders find themselves the first type, who struggle to meet the basic needs of life but end up terminating their trading careers.

　　Type 2: They have long engaged in transactions but cannot earn stable profits to sustain their daily life. This kind of traders will switch to securities/futures companies and get an average income.

　　Type 3: Fund managers. They charge management fees in public/private placement, earning far more than the average.

　　Type 4: Individuals with long-term, sustainable profits, or charge management fees in others investments. Generally, traders of this type are masters of the industry.

　　Only traders of the last two types make money. With proven trading strategies and long-term capital accumulation, they are prepared for potential risks after a thorough evaluation.To be one of them, you must first develop self-mastery, that is, to resist the temptation and seize every opportunity by your own trading strategy. Second, you should become mentally strong with tremendous spirit and keep going on despite setbacks.

　　Trading experience on the American online broker Dialyforex247

　　At first, a woman named Mas Victoria got in touch with the complainant and introduced that she was an Account Manager of the broker Dialyforex247. After some dialogues, she introduced this broker to the complainant and promised that his deposit money could be multiplied by 5 times within 5 days. Since the complainant could not provide a coins.ph account, she invited him to use hers. After receiving the money deposited into her account, she can trade on his behalf. Without hesitation, the complainant transferred $100 to her account via Palawan Express Money Padala (a common payment method in the Philippines). Then the Maam taught him to register on the Dialyforex247 platform.
Chat history with Maam Victoria for sending deposit money and trading confirmation

　　After 4 days, the complainant found that he had already had an account balance of $1,600 (Deposit $100 + Profit $1,500), as shown in this picture:
　　Aside from hesitating to send money to her again, the complainant didn‘t have money to pay the required $400. Ma’am asked him how much money he had at the time, and he answered that he had had $100. Then she advised him to send her the $100 as tax payment and promised that he could withdraw the profit. So finally, he sent another $100. In total, he has paid $200 to Maam Victoria.

After receiving the words as shown in the picture, the complaint couldn‘t have any access to contact Ma’am Victoria. Neither Facebook nor WhatsApp was reachable. Also, he contacted the livechat box of Dialyforex247 but no one answered him.

　　Considering that the money was the last hope to pay the medicine for his mother, the complainant suffered a lot from this scam. He really wishes the broker can return the $200 deposit to him, as soon as possible.

　　According to the latest data from the WikiFX APP, Dialyforex247 only scores 0.99, which is almost the lowest score on the WikiFX platform. The broker is registered in the United States under no effective regulation currently. In view of the great risk, please stay away from it!

Gold Prices May Fall Further as US Jobs Data Drives Fed Outlook

Gold prices sank as signs of economic recovery and warming price growth in the US stoked suspicions about the durability of ultra-loose Fed monetary policy. Tellingly, the 5-year breakeven rate – a proxy for priced-in inflation expectations – fell with the yellow metal as the data printed.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.

　　This hinted that investors read the figures as discouraging of stimulus expansion. In fact, some early threads of speculation about a shorter path toward tightening may be showing through despite the Fed‘s protestations. Needless to say, this certainly wouldn’t be the first time traders challenged officials narrative.

　　Weekly jobless claims data showed 779k applications for benefits last week, an encouraging outcome relative to expectations of an 830k increase. Meanwhile, unit labor costs jumped 6.8 percent in the 6.8 percent in the fourth quarter, topping projections of a 4 percent gain.

　　Looking ahead, all eyes are on January‘s US employment report. It is seen showing a 105k rise in nonfarm payrolls following December’s shock 140k drop. The jobless rate is seen holding unchanged at 6.7 percent. Leading ISM survey data suggests an upside surprise might be in the works.

　　Januarys edition suggested the pace of job creation has returned to pre-Covid levels. Service-sector hiring growth jumped to the highest since February 2020 – just before the outbreak triggered lockdowns. Meanwhile, the manufacturing sector added staff at the fastest rate since June 2019.

　　An uptick in wage inflation may add to the Fed outlook implications of firm topline results. Hourly earnings are seen adding 5 percent on-year, a slight cooling compared with the 5.1 percent rise in December. Markit PMI data flagging the steepest costs rise since 2009 hint this too may overshoot however.

　　Gold is likely to fall further in such a scenario as the markets are encouraged to focus on the timeline for reducing stimulus – as opposed to expanding it – as the central object of speculation. This would understandably undermine the appeal of the non-yielding store of value alternative.
　　Gold prices have slipped back below inflection point support at 1817.13, opening the door for another test of the 1747.74-65.30 area. A daily close below that may set the stage for a probe below the $1700/oz figure. Alternatively, returning back above 1817.13 puts the 1860-71.34 zone back into focus as resistance.

New chart shows this Bitcoin bull run is only beginning

Bitcoin (BTC) could reach almost $400,000 this bull cycle simply by copying previous behavior, one popular analyst has said.To get more news about WikiFX, you can visit wikifx official website.

　　In a tweet on Feb. 4, Yassine Elmandjra, cryptoasset analyst at asset manager ARK, revealed just how early on in its current bull run BTC/USD really is.

　　 BTC price to $400,000？

　　Compared to 2013 and 2017, the 2020-21 cycle is barely off the start line, with a hypothetical chart suggesting that the top this time around could be as high as $390,000.

　　“This is how bitcoins price would behave if the current bull market dwarfed the 2017 bull market in the same way the 2017 bull market dwarfed the 2013 bull market,” Elmandjra added in comments.With various indicators all now pointing to a continuation of bullish upside for Bitcoin, Elmandjra is not alone in predicting serious progress in the mid to long term. Responding, however, fellow analyst Tuur Demeester noted that in terms of increases, 2013 in fact beat 2017.

　　The true “power” of the latest bull run thus depends on various factors, with other recent comparative data suggesting that this year ranks exactly between the two previous examples.

　　Elmandjra confirmed that a $390,000 price would correspond to a Bitcoin market cap of around $8 trillion — roughly 80% of that of gold. As Cointelegraph reported, estimates suggest that in real terms, Bitcoin has so far cornered just 2% of that amount.

　　 A perfect storm for bull

　　Focusing on the immediate future, however, well-known figures are primed for a price continuation to begin imminently.

　　Thanks to a combination of declining U.S. dollar strength, corporate interest and consolidating $30,000 support, it may not be long before bulls return to the driving seat.

　　Commenting on Tuesday, investor Dan Tapeiro highlighted Bitcoins moving average convergence divergence (MACD) as the latest metric to flip.
