Correlation coefficients, which range from -1.0 to +1.0, help quantify the strength and direction of relationships between currency pairs. A value of +1.0 indicates perfect positive correlation, meaning the two variables move in the same direction 100% of the time. A coefficient of -1.0 reflects perfect negative correlation, where the variables move in opposite directions.

Ten Years of Arts and Cultural Criticism in the American Southwest (2015-25) - lox01.com

This is my ten-year anniversary of writing arts and cultural criticism in (and around) Utah: a long, slightly chaotic labor of love that has given me far more than a publication list. It gave me a way into rooms I didn’t know how to enter yet—openings, rehearsals, studios, back corners of galleries, folding chairs at community meetings—and, more importantly, it gave me people.
