Japanese offset specialist Toray Graphics has developed Prixia, a dry offset printing plate designed to deliver photorealistic imagery in two-piece beverage can printing.
The newly developed plate delivers a printing quality of up to 250 lines per inch, compared to a resolution of 75 to 120 lines per inch for standard photopolymer plates. The ability to deliver higher quality is driven by Prixia thermal CTP plates having an individual dot size of 7 microns, compared to 50 microns for polymer plates, with virtually no dot gain. 
Toray sought input from several industry businesses about the value of the highly improved quality delivered by Prixia. These ranged from consumers to designers and talent agencies, and the company reports that all were highly impressed with what they saw.

In some sports, Olympic gold medalists returning to deck as coaches and coaching to the top of their sport is common. Almost all of the world’s top water polo teams are coached by Olympic medalists, and many by gold medalists, for example.
Swimming, by example, has a very mixed bag. There are plenty of coaches with big competitive credentials walking around on deck.

According to reports, it all started on Che’s Instagram stories where he reposted and rated a series of jokes submitted by his followers. One of the jokes even made a mockery of Biles’ disclosure of being a victim of former USA Gymnastic doctor
Larry Nassar. Another post was a racist joke about Biles’ pulling out of Olympic events which Che allegedly rated an 8/10. 
Screenshots of the jokes were shared on BallerAlert’s Twitter account.
“Maaannnn, i got hacked today,” Che wrote in a separate post after the jokes were removed. “Can’t believe they got me,’” the 38-year-old wrote using the same white text and black background as the previous post he said were hacked.

WHAT WE FOUND
The International Gymnastics Federation sets the rules of competition for gymnastics at the Olympics.
For women’s gymnastics, each qualifying country was allowed one team of four athletes, plus up to two qualifying individual athletes. This year’s women’s team is made up of Biles, Sunisa Lee, Jordan Chiles and Grace McCallum. MyKayla Skinner and Jade Carey are representing the U.S. in individual events.
In addition to those six, USA Gymnastics named four replacement athletes to the team: Kayla DiCello, Emma Malabuyo, Leanne Wong and Kara Eaker. Eaker tested positive for COVID-19 before the start of the games and was ruled out of competition.

Prospect of higher US interest rates fade on weak data, Fed dovishness.
USD/JPY loses 110.00 on Tuesday, stays below on Friday.
Technical considerations dominate near-term USD/JPY action, bias weakly lower.
FXStreet Forecast Poll expects a near term decline.
Prospects for higher US interest rates faded further as poor economic data reinforced the Fed’s cautious view and confirmed the retreat of Treasury yields since the June 16 meeting.  
The USD/JPY lost altitude on the week, but trading easily remained within the range of the last two months. With weak US statistics and stationary monetary policy, there was no compelling reason to buy the pair and with positive Japanese input absent. There was no substantial logic for selling either.

Americans in Tokyo for the Olympics may notice something odd about the food on display along Kappabashi Street: It’s plastic. Known as shokuhin sampuru, or sample food, it allows non-Japanese-speaking customers to see what’s available at a restaurant.
