title: Realtor teila sells from atl discusses the benefits of va home loans for veterans

text:
Realtor Teila Tyler is dedicated to helping veterans achieve the dream of homeownership by fully utilizing their VA benefits. As a wife and mother, she treats her clients like family and understands how important it is for families to have a realtor who provides a safe and quality experience.
With 30 years of experience in real estate, Ms. Tyler is one of the top realtors in Atlanta. She emphasizes that, for many veterans, owning a home may feel unattainable despite their sacrifices for our country. However, with a VA loan, veterans have the opportunity to turn this dream into reality for themselves and their families—an opportunity they have truly earned.
Ms. Teila Tyler points out a significant statistic: only 30% of veterans are aware that they can purchase a home with no down payment through a VA loan. This lack of information may lead many to delay homeownership.
The VA loan program offers substantial benefits to those who have served our country:
• No Down Payment Required: Qualified veterans can buy a home without the need for a down payment, a significant advantage in today’s housing market.
• Reduced Closing Costs: The program limits the amount veterans can be charged for closing costs, making the home-buying process more affordable.
• No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Unlike many conventional loans, VA loans do not require PMI, which can result in substantial monthly savings.
Atlanta continues to be an attractive destination for first-time homebuyers and those looking to purchase additional properties. Despite recent price increases, Atlanta's housing market offers more affordable options compared to many other large U.S. cities. This relative affordability makes it appealing for first-time buyers who are seeking value.
If you or someone you know is a veteran considering homeownership, please reach out to Teila Sells ATL She is here to help you achieve your homeownership goals.

title: Batman forever joel schumacher cut runtime revealed

text:
We now know the Batman Forever Joel Schumacher cut runtime after a recent screening of the movie.
What do we know about the Joel Schumacher cut of Batman Forever?
According to a recent report from World of Reel, Kevin Smith — who was one of the original people to speak about the extended Batman Forever cut — screened the extended Joel Schumacher Batman Forever cut to a handful of friends and fans at a private screening at the beginning of the month at Smodcastle Cinema in New Jersey.
The report goes on to mention that the film, which has a runtime of 158 minutes (or 2 hours and 38 minutes), is “slower-paced” and that while it would still need touchups in places like the score and visual effects, the film is allowed to “breathe” in a way that the original did not.
Various people took to Twitter shortly after seeing the project, with one noting that the film presented “a deeper, psychologically-complex character arc” for Val Kilmer’s Bruce Wayne/Batman. Another user confirmed that it was the “superior cut” of the film.
Rumors of an extended Batman Forever cut originally popped up earlier this year, when journalist, writer, and podcaster Marc Bernardin said that he had it on “very good authority” that a 170-minute version of the late Schumacher’s film existed, but that Warner Bros. Discovery didn’t know if there was “any hunger” for it to release.
Since then, fans have quickly taken to demanding the project release, and in an update in June, Kevin Smith announced on his Fatman Beyond podcast (which is co-hosted by Bernardin) that he actually had the film on hand. Smith described the project as longer, and very good.
The original Batman Forever was released in 1995 and starred Val Kilmer in the role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. Alongside Kilmer, the film also starred Tommy Lee Jones as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, Jim Carrey as Edward Nygma/The Riddler, Nicole Kidman as Dr. Chase Meridian, Chris O’Donnell as Richard “Dick” Grayson, Michael Gough as Alfred Pennyworth, and Pat Hingle as James Gordon.

title: Air canada dont trust anything agents chatbots tell thoughts ai hallucinations

text:
Jake Moffatt’s grandmother passed away, so he logged onto AirCanada.com and a chatbot told him how to buy a ticket and apply for a partial refund afterward by sending in proof of qualification for a bereavement fare.
Air Canada later denied the claim, saying that you have to call to request a bereavement fare in advance, and that their website states there are no refunds available afterward.
Luckily, Mr. Moffatt was a smart cookie. He took a screenshot of the chatbot’s offer.
Surely Air Canada would just honor that and retrain their chatbot, right?
The contempt that airlines have for their customers is just astounding, so I guess I shouldn’t be that surprised.
Air Canada was perhaps the worst actor for COVID-19 refunds for canceled flights. While other airlines were stingy, they generally paid up when a passenger filed a DOT complaint for a refund due to a flight canceled by the airline. Air Canada on the other hand has resisted refunds even when faced with DOT complaints. The Canada Transportation Agency also punted on enforcement. It wasn’t until April 2021 that they finally started refunding passengers.
Air Canada told the judge that “it cannot be held liable for information provided by one of its agents, servants, or representatives – including a chatbot.”
I mean, are you kidding me? If an agent gives you bad information, whose fault is that?
The judge rightly scolded Air Canada for this argument, “It should be obvious to Air Canada that it is responsible for all the information on its website. It makes no difference whether the information comes from a static page or a chatbot.”
Air Canada also argued that a $200 flight coupon should reduce the value of the refund, which the judge denied as the customer rejected said compensation. It’s a good reminder to decline inadequate compensation.
Mr. Moffatt represented himself and won a total of $812.02. It just boggles my mind that Air Canada tried to fight this case rather than just settling it.
The airline told the Vancouver Sun that they will comply with the ruling and won’t appeal.
Air Canada spoke about their implementation of AI into its operations for years, perhaps they jumped onboard too soon?
AI hallucination, or when AI provides incorrect or misleading information, is dreadfully commonplace. I wrote about the issue a year ago and it still never ceases to amaze me how services like ChatGPT will insist that the wrong answer is correct, while refusing to cite sources to back up its claim. And yet, lawyers have been fined for using ChatGPT in court cases while failing to realize that the AI just made up facts from thin air.
The reasons for AI hallucinations are complex, but if you’re interested in them, this video attempts to tackle the question:
For AI to become truly useful, that’s going to have to be solved.
Though I will say that OpenAI Sora absolutely terrifies me.
Air Canada appears to have removed the chatbot from their website for the time-being.
Kudos to the judge for the common sense decision!

title: What actually is bia measurement and what does it tell me about my health

text:
BIA measurement is on many people's lips right now, but what does it actually mean and what results can one expect?
A medical measurement method for determining body composition
Bioelectrical impedance analysis uses an electrical resistance measurement to determine the composition of the body and to provide information about one's state of health, nutritional status, and risk of a diet-related illness.
Compared to classical measurement methods, such as the BMI (body mass index) and calipometry (measuring the thickness of subcutaneous tissue), BIA measurement enables a significantly more differentiated analysis of one's health. For this reason, it has become established as a recognised medical measurement method that is of great importance in nutritional medicine, especially in cases of obesity and diseases of lipid metabolism, but also in the field of sports.
The prerequisites for an accurate measurement and analysis of the data are a professional set of scales that are medically approved, a software program that aggregates and visualises the data, and, of course, a specialist who can explain the measurement results.
A harmless measurement method
The measurement is fast and harmless. Only a very weak electrical pulse, which cannot be felt, is passed through the body (AC 0.8 mA at 50kHz). Based on the different flow resistances of musculature and body fat, conclusions can be drawn as to the percentage of water in the body.
Exception: The procedure may not be performed on people who wear a pacemaker or have other electrical implants. The procedure is equally unsuitable for pregnant women.
Body composition measurement data
A BIA measurement provides data for evaluating body fat, including abdominal fat surrounding the internal organs, muscle mass, skeletal muscle mass, bodily water, basal metabolic rate and BMI. The interpretation of these values is always related to total body weight, height, gender and age.
Initial medical history and measurement at intervals for monitoring progress
One-time measurement serves as a nutrition-based health check-up where, in addition to total weight, determination of fat percentage, relative abdominal fat and the fat distribution pattern, in particular, reveal important statements about one's state of health. One's muscle mass percentage illustrates one's current fitness level. These fine diagnostics make it possible to make a relatively accurate statement about one's personal basal metabolic rate level, which is an important basis for any type of nutritional programme. Progress monitoring is a good tool for checking whether the patient is actually losing fat mass during a reduction diet, or a disproportionate amount of muscle mass – a common problem that occurs mainly with lopsided diets and inadequate accompanying training to build muscle. For athletes, too, a repeated BIA measurement is advantageous, in order to optimise and adapt the content of one's training.
Sauna sessions and heavy meals before the measurement lead to inaccurate results
The balance of water in the body is subject to natural fluctuations, which are enhanced by certain activities as well as food and fluid intake. You should therefore follow the following recommendations: do not consume any alcohol or visit a sauna for 12 hours (better 24 hours) beforehand, do not workout for at least 6 hours beforehand, do not eat any heavy meals or drink large amounts for at least 2 hours before the measurement.

title: Iso base xd

text:
Just a few years ago, the average static load rating of a server cabinet was approximately 1500 pounds; now, a static load rating upwards of 3000 pounds isn’t unusual.
ISO-Base XD™ is the solution!
With up to 1000 pounds(453Kg) of isolation capability per dish, the heavy-duty construction of the ISO-Base XD™ dramatically increases the weight load capacity over original ISO-Base™ by approximately two and a half times in order to meet the needs of today’s IT environments.
Anchoring cabinets to the floor increases shock and vibration damage. ISO-Base XD™ platform decouple these away without requiring bolting to the cabinet or anchoring to the subfloor.
The new, larger dish design allows smoother rolling motion and eliminates vertical spikes & vibrations. Offers an increased displacement capacity of 10.25″ or 70% over original ISO-Base™.
At the heart of ISO-Base XD™ technology is still the patented Ball-N-Cone™ seismic isolation bearing. This consists of two load plates with matching conical recesses sandwiched over a 2.25″ steel ball bearing.
Utilizing the new QuakeCoat™ elastomeric damping liner improves rolling friction to ensure maximum displacement capacity and virtually eliminates spikes and micro-vibrations.
ISO-Base™ has been tested hundreds of times, exceeding Zone 4 code requirements on shake tables and in real world events, with no failures. ISO-Base™ meets Telcordia GR 63 Core at 100%. It has also passed the rigorous JQA Certifi cation testing in Japan.
Equipment can be safely hydraulically lifted to install ISO-Base™ platforms underneath while live and operational, during normal business hours.
The top of the platform is made up of an ISO-Base XD™ plank and the bottom is made of traditional OCTO-Base™. This allows for easier cable management for cabinets and other IT components without wheels.
The modular components are easily connected by steel tube connectors and heavy-duty bolts. This makes installations simple and also allows for a phased buildout of rows. It will work with existing ISO-Base™ installations to provide even more protection to heavy IT assets.
The open frame design allows for proper air circulation and allows a space for cable management through a raised floor.
Super Heavy Duty
ISO-Base XD™ is designed to handle the extreme static load of new server racks. Standard XD planks come with 2 dishes. A 3rd dish can be included for even heavier weight loads.
Just like with ISO-Base™ and OCTO-Base™, if all other peripheral systems, such as power, stay up and running, your isolated equipment can and will continue to operate and process data right on through a major earthquake.

Currently the Lunar Sign is:
Pisces 21° 59' June 18, 2025 Wed UTC |
Use your browser's refresh or reload to update the moon calculator.
A Void-of-Course transit of the moon is a period of time between the last aspect of the Moon while transiting in one sign and the point that the Moon enters the next sign (ingress). It takes approximately 27.5 days for the moon to loop all the way around the Earth. Many interactions (aspects) are made between the Moon and the various planets as it cycles around the Earth. Typically, each aspect will last only for a few hours since the Moon's transiting cycle is the shortest (fastest) of all the planets. There will be approximately 13 Void Moon periods per month. The Void can last from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the placements of the planets.
The Void-of-Course (VOC) is similar to a short-lived rest or a recuperation period for the Moon before it starts on its next emotional path into the fresh astrological sign. The Moon's transit through a sign sets the stage for our feelings. In addition, the aspects that it makes to the planets while transiting a sign tends to put a quick "spotlight" of focus to those feelings. Our frame of mind may be influenced during particular transits and aspects. Plus, the nature of that final aspect leading into the VOC will add a bit of flavoring to our emotional state during the Void Moon. We tend to feel a little lost during a VOC, because the Moon, representing our moods and emotions, is taking a bit of a nap. We may feel out of sorts, confused, frustrated, or rundown. But since the VOC is relatively short, we may not even really notice it all that much. It may have passed before we have even had the chance to put a finger on our feelings.
It is believed that new ideas or new tasks should not be implemented during the VOC because the time will be misspent or the task will be done incorrectly and need to be redone later. This "loss" may be caused by an inattention to details or missed information. On the other hand, the VOC is an outstanding time to plan for an upcoming project or to reflect on an event. Or, better yet, just take a rest, right along with the Moon!
*** Void of Course Moon Information Although the site is now gone, I found a very nice instance of the traditional definition in Anthony Louis' "Horary Astrology": "The Moon or any planet is 'void of course' when it makes no major Ptolemaic aspects before leaving its sign. Firmicus Maternus refers to the void of course planet as traveling in an aspect vacuum. The five major aspects used to make this judgement are Ptolemy's conjunction, sextile, square, opposition and trine." Al H. Morrison studied the Void Of Course Moon for over 45 years, and his conclusion was that the Moon was Void after its last Ptolemaic aspect to the Sun or one of the planets, and that the semisextile, quincunx or other minor aspect could not save the Moon from being Void. (He also concluded that neither Chiron nor the asteroids could stop the Moon from being Void either.) Al's research supported the traditional definition.***


title: How to relieve baby teething discomfort hylands naturals baby organic soothing gel to the rescue

text:
Teething is a challenge that every parent must face. Have you ever seen your baby restless and unable to sleep in the middle of the night? Or during the day, your baby constantly drools, chews on toys, and even develops a mild fever? These seemingly common symptoms are actually typical signs of teething discomfort.
Most babies start teething around 4 months old, and the development of their gums can cause discomfort, leading to mood swings, trouble sleeping, and even irritability during the day. Many parents try various methods to alleviate the discomfort, such as giving their baby teething toys, massaging their gums, or using medications. However, these methods may not always be effective and could even bring side effects.

title: Folking coms favourite radio 2 moment

text:
The Radio 2 Folk Awards are chosen and voted for by a panel of professionals (broadcasters, promoters, festival organisers and record companies) who all work in the world of folk, acoustic and roots music. These people (now in their hundreds) are asked to nominate and vote for the people that they consider to have produced and performed the most outstanding work during the past 12 months.
For folking.com the 2002 Folk Awards was a haven for such music. It not only celebrated the pioneers of the genre but also gave birth to something very special, a new energised passion for the music and a new set of ambassadors for the tradition.
Many of the artists that pioneered the folk-culture movement in the early “noughties” were in the room on the night of 11 February 2002. There were performances from Eliza Carthy and Cerys Matthews. “The Barnsley Nightingale,” Kate Rusby, performed “Who Will Sing Me Lullabies” which she had written for the late, great singer-songwriter Davy Steel. Martin Simpson’s “The Bramble Briar”, (in my opinion one of the greatest folk albums of all time), was awarded “Best Album”. Arguably the greatest ambassador of the tradition, Martin Carthy, was awarded “Folk Singer of the Year” and the icing on the cake was having him accompany Martin Simpson on his live version of the much-missed Cyril Tawney’s classic “Sammy’s Bar”. The award for Best Group was such a close run thing that year, that either Show of Hands, Old Blind Dogs or Tarras could have pipped Cherish the Ladies to the number-one spot post. The “Guv’nor,” Ashley Hutchings, presented Nettlebed Folk Club with the “Good Tradition Award and Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull presented the “fabulous, fruity, funky, fecund, Fairport 5” Fairport Convention, with a “Lifetime Achievement Award”. Best Live Act went to the rambling, constantly-touring inspiration that is Rory McLeod.
Willy Russell presented Ralph McTell, (in my view, one of the finest singer-song writer of all time), with the second of the night’s “Lifetime Achievement Award”. Jim Moir, the man that cared enough to put the money and passion behind the Folk Awards idea in the first place and the man that presided over the format and programming of Radio 2 at the turn of the century to make it the most listened to Radio Show in the country, awarded The Chieftains “Irelands Musical Ambassadors” with, the third of the night’s “Lifetime Achievement Award”. I clearly remember the first words Jim said when he came out on stage “What an evening”. It certainly was Jim!
Out of all of the live acts mentioned above, any of them could have been chosen as a classic performance. However, I have chosen Cara Dillon’s “Black is the Colour” as my favourite of the night.
For folking.com, this performance represented the beginning of this exciting new change in folk music, as it was the first time in years that a folk artist and a traditional folk song were taking pride of place on the Radio 2 playlist. Johnny Walker, who presented Cara with the award for “Best Traditional Track”, summed it up perfectly by saying that “Cara had the courage to resist corporate pressure to commercialise her music and change it to try and get it to a wider audience and instead the audience has come to her”. This was an important point which could be cited as one of the fundamental reasons why the music is so strong today. A certain pre-Mercury Music prize nominee, Seth Lakemen (now truly an ambassador in his own right), accompanied Cara on backing vocals. The whole piece was woven together beautifully by the piano arrangements written and performed by Seth’s brother, Sam Lakeman. Darren Beech – June 2011

title: Can i refuse to rent to certain businesses

text:
Commercial real estate laws are much different than those for residential real estate because the goals are different. In commercial real estate, you have the right to limit who you rent to.
While you cannot discriminate based on protected factors, such as race or religion, the California Department of Real Estate does state that you have the right to limit the use of your property. Essentially, this means that you can deny a rental application if you do not like the specific business the applicant wants to put there.
You can include in your contract limitations about the use of the property. This would allow you to exclude certain businesses for the premises. It is essential to ensure your contract is clear and covers everything possible to exclude certain types of businesses. If your contract is not precise, then you will have no legal grounds upon which to object to the business operations.
Change of business
If your tenant suddenly changes his or her business or shifts the focus to something of which you do not approve and it violates the contract, then you can terminate the agreement. You may still have to go through the eviction process. The tenant may also have the right to end your agreement in some situations without a breach occurring.
If the business activities are not legal, then you still must state in your contract that the tenant cannot use the property for illegal purposes if you want to be able to end the agreement. Illegal activity is not an automatic trigger for your rights to evict.

Cellular orientational fluctuations, rotational diffusion and nematic order under periodic driving
The ability of living cells to sense the physical properties of their microenvironment and to respond to dynamic forces acting on them plays a central role in regulating their structure, function and fate. Of particular importance is the cellular sensitivity and response to periodic driving forces in noisy environments, encountered in vital physiological conditions such as heart beating, blood vessel pulsation and breathing. Here, we first test and validate two predictions of a mean-field theory of cellular reorientation under periodic driving, which combines the minimization of cellular anisotropic elastic energy with active remodeling forces. We then extend the mean-field theory to include uncorrelated, additive nonequilibrium fluctuations, and show that the theory quantitatively agrees with the experimentally observed stationary probability distributions of the cell body orientation, under a range of biaxial periodic driving forces. The fluctuations theory allows the extraction of the dimensionless active noise amplitude of various cell types, and consequently their rotational diffusion coefficient. We then focus on intra-cellular nematic order, i.e. on orientational fluctuations of actin stress fibers around the cell body orientation, and show experimentally that intra-cellular nematic order increases with both the magnitude of the driving forces and the biaxiality strain ratio. These results are semi-quantitatively explained by applying the same cell body fluctuations theory to orientationally correlated actin stress fiber domains. Finally, an estimate of the energy scale of cellular orientational fluctuations for one cell type is shown to be about six order of magnitude larger than the thermal energy at room temperature. The implications of our findings, which make the quantitative analysis of cell mechanosensitivity more accessible, are discussed.


title: The power of python in data science a comprehensive guide 3phi

text:
Data science, the interdisciplinary field that uses scientific methods, processes, algorithms, and systems to extract knowledge and insights from structured and unstructured data, has been revolutionizing industries across the globe. At the heart of this revolution is Python, a programming language that has become synonymous with data science due to its simplicity, versatility, and the vast array of libraries and frameworks it offers.
Why Python Reigns Supreme in Data Science
Python's simplicity cannot be overstated. Its syntax is clean and readable, making it accessible to beginners and valuable to experts. This readability allows data scientists to focus more on solving data problems rather than getting bogged down by complex programming nuances.
Moreover, Python's versatility is unmatched. It can handle every step of the data science process, from data manipulation and cleaning with pandas, to advanced machine learning with scikit-learn, to data visualization with libraries like Matplotlib and Seaborn. This all-in-one approach means that Python is not just a tool in the data scientist's arsenal; it's the Swiss Army knife.
Libraries and Frameworks: The Lifeline of Python in Data Science
The true power of Python lies in its libraries and frameworks, which are collections of modules and functions that simplify the tasks of coding. Some of the most prominent libraries include:

Also called a real estate foreclosures, a financial institution foreclosure is what happens when a mortgage borrower is unable to satisfy their obligations for repaying their debt to the bank or different lender. Foreclosures by energy of sale, additionally known as nonjudicial foreclosures,an is permitted by many states if a power of sale clause is included within the mortgage or if a deed of trust with such a clause was used, as an alternative of an precise mortgage. For more details about Alaska properties for sale or to schedule a non-public house exhibiting, contact your native AK real estate consultants at the moment.
I’ve been helping First Time Consumers for 23 years as a mortgage professional and I will inform you what I’ve all the time advised my purchasers here in New York: In case you are a First Time Purchaser, keep away from foreclosures and short sales. The case is usually that the owner has stopped being able to make timely funds and sure negotiated with the lender to promote the house below market value, additionally commonly referred to as a brief sale.
A secured loan is totally different as a result of, although the lender could take a loss on the loan in the event you default, it’ll recover a larger portion of the debt by seizing and promoting your property. View today’s Alaska foreclosures & real property under. The benefit here is that the lender is usually obligated to clear any additional liens on the property, together with back-taxes, so it is a a lot safer funding than an auction.
The lender will even include any unpaid property taxes and delinquent payments on this amount, so if the borrower does not have vital fairness they will owe more than the unique quantity of the mortgage. A very powerful factor to know about closing on a foreclosure is that it’s a non-commonplace transaction and the lender will have their own processes and requirements.
IMPORTANT: Take into account that when the property enters pre-foreclosure, which is considerably of a grace period, the owner has a number of months to pay off the default amount. There are some distinctive deals to be had with Chesapeake foreclosures, but you really want an agent experienced in this type of buy. Except purchase worth can pay mortgage(s) and closing prices in full, lender’s approval of worth and terms of sale can be required (i.e. brief sale).

Being the best you can be
Our school community has grown over the last few years and we now have just under 1100 children. One of our values is respect and it is essential that we all show this to each other, all the time. I know we don’t get everything right all the time (no one does), but it is also important that when we make mistakes we take the opportunity to learn from them and do better next time. Respect for others and respecting yourself are equally important, as is thinking about and considering others. Always remember to treat others as you would wish them to treat you – it makes a real difference.
You will notice that the corridors are quite busy at every lesson changeover and at break and lunch. I have asked all your teachers to let you straight into class without lining up outside classrooms, as this makes movement in the corridors much easier for everyone. I’d also like to remind you that we have several staircases – please can you use the stairs at the end of the corridors – this will make a massive difference to movement and space.
With 1100 children, there is not enough space in the canteen for everyone at lunchtime. This means that you must clear up after yourself and put all rubbish in the bin. Other people will use the table after you and keeping the area clean and clear shows respect both for the College and also for other students. Please remember to keep our college tidy and put all rubbish in the bin.
Notices for the week:
- Winter concert on Wednesday
- INSET day on Friday – College closed to students
- Remember to complete your online learning! Hegarty maths!
No sports results this week
Have a good week

title: Portman peters applaud senate committee passage of bipartisan legislation to prevent clawbacks of assistance to disaster victims

text:
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) and Gary Peters (D-MI), Ranking Member and Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, applauded the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee for passing their bipartisan Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act, legislation that prevents the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) from taking back assistance it has provided to victims of disaster due to an error made by the agency. Weeks, months, and sometimes years after victims have used federal assistance to recover from a disaster, FEMA has sought to reclaim funds, even when the agency was at fault and funds were used appropriately. The Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act would require FEMA to waive the debt of disaster relief recipients in cases where the agency later determined it mistakenly granted assistance, but no fraud was committed. The bill would also require FEMA to report on the number of these mistakes made in individual assistance awards and efforts the agency takes to minimize such errors.
“When victims of a disaster apply for assistance in good faith and begin rebuilding their lives, they should not fear that FEMA might claw back the money due to bureaucratic mistakes,” said Ranking Member Portman. “I applaud the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee for passing the Preventing Disaster Revictimization Act, which will bring peace of mind and stability to victims by ensuring bureaucratic mistakes do not bring more trauma to those recovering from devastating disasters. I urge my colleagues in the Senate to support this commonsense legislation to safeguard hardworking Americans who have already faced a life-altering disaster.”
“The last thing Michiganders and Americans who have been hit by a disaster need to worry about is whether federal assistance they received from the government might be taken away due to no fault of their own,” said Chairman Peters. “This bipartisan bill helps ensure disaster victims do not face unnecessary hardships at a time when they are most vulnerable, and I look forward to its swift passage in the Senate.”

Signs Your Car's Electrical System Is Failing
If you have noticed that your vehicle is not running correctly, the chances are good that your car's electrical system is failing. There are several signs that your car's electrical system is failing, and some of the most common include a sudden shutdown, lights that dim slightly, and even a burning plastic smell.
Discharged Or Dead Battery
If your car shows any electrical problem signs, you should have it inspected by a professional Norwich auto electrician. A damaged alternator, a weak battery, or any other component can cause significant trouble. One of the most common problems is a dead or discharged battery. The battery is responsible for powering your car's electrical system, including your radio, headlights, and other lights. Most importantly of all, it is also used to start your engine.
Diagnosing an electrical problem in a modern vehicle can be difficult if you do not have the necessary equipment. Auto electricians based in Norwich are equipped with specialist diagnostic tools that enable them to diagnose error codes displayed by the vehicle's ECU. For example, if your car is making a clicking noise when you turn the key, it could be a sign of a failing starter. Another symptom is the appearance of a check engine light. Alternatively, if your lights are dimming, it signifies a faulty charging system due to a loose battery cable or a defective alternator belt.
Once you know what the issue is, you can go to an auto repair shop for help. Ideally, the battery should hold enough current to start your vehicle after a few minutes. Some other symptoms include a lack of spark, a squealing or grinding sound when you crank your engine, or an oddly shaped battery case. All of these are likely indicators that something is going wrong. While there are plenty of ways to diagnose a car's electrical system, a voltmeter can be a helpful tool. Fortunately, a qualified technician can diagnose and repair most modern vehicles.
Fatigued Engine Starter Or Solenoid
If you notice a grinding noise when starting your car, or if it starts without the engine, there is a good chance that the starter or solenoid is not working correctly, which can cause mechanical damage to the engine and can also be a sign of a problem with your electrical system. The starter or solenoid is the component of your vehicle's starter circuit that connects the battery to the starter motor. It is usually covered by metal but may be concealed with a plastic cap. In some cases, the starter is located on the firewall near the engine or the fender.
Solenoids, connected to the starter motor, usually provide the high current required to rotate the starter motor. A magnet attracts a plunger when the key is turned to the "on" position. Once the plunger is pulled out, a magnetic field closes the switch. Similarly, a switch is closed when the ignition key is pressed in the "run" or "start" position. When the starter is not engaged, it can grind against the flywheel. Depending on the car's model, it can be caused by various problems, including dead batteries, worn contacts, or malfunctioning starter circuits. If the solenoid is damaged, a burning smell can be heard when the starter is turned on. Another symptom is a chugging sound.
Loose or broken electrical wiring can be a significant cause of poor starting. Make sure that your car is parked in a safe location and that any electrical accessories are disconnected. Also, block the wheels to prevent them from rolling. If you are still determining whether the starter or solenoid is malfunctioning, having it inspected by an Norwich auto electrician is a good idea. Unfixed problems can lead to severe damage to other areas of your vehicle.
The Risks Associated With the Presents Of A Burning Plastic Smell
A burning plastic smell in your car is an early indicator of a major electrical problem, and it's essential to get this checked out before it becomes a severe health hazard. Burning plastic smells often occur when you turn on the car heater or another electrical device. You should check the fuse box and battery if you smell the odour. You should also have a Norwich qualified auto electrician look at your vehicle. The car's fuse box is meant to prevent overvoltage. Another symptom of a broken electrical system is a dimmed light. Several problems, including a failing battery, faulty wires, and a degarding alternator belt, can cause this.
In addition to the noticeable burning brake smell is a sign that your brake pads have become overheated which is likely especially true if you've been driving a long distance. An acrid burning smell can also result from a faulty catalytic converter or a leaky radiator. Regardless of the cause, you should contact an Norwich auto electrician for repair as soon as possible. A blown fuse can cause another burning plastic smell in your car. While you're at it, consider having the wiring in your vehicle checked out as well. Depending on how old your car is, the coating on the wires can wear off or burn off.
While it's true that there are many different reasons for a burning smell, the most common are electrical shorts or overheating wires. Once a problem is diagnosed, you can fix the issue without replacing the entire electrical system. A lousy heater or air conditioning system can also be responsible for a burning smell, and these systems are essential for maintaining a comfortable interior.
Causes Of Slightly Dimming Lights
Slightly dimming lights are one of the most common signs of a problem with your vehicle's electrical system. Usually, these warning lights indicate low system voltage or a battery not charging correctly. Getting your car's electrical system checked can prevent further damage to the vehicle and help keep you safe while driving.
The most common causes of dimming lights in your car include a failing alternator, faulty ground wires, a weak battery, and improper wiring connections. When you see these symptoms, it is essential to have them taken care of immediately—attempting to drive your vehicle. At the same time, a faulty electrical system can result in various problems, including electrical fires and burnt plastic.
One of the easiest and most effective ways to determine if your lights are dimming is to test them with a voltmeter. A professional mechanic will be able to perform this test for you. If you see your headlights dim when you are braking or accelerating, you should consider replacing them. The bulb itself may be causing the issue. Alternatively, it may be a malfunctioning light switch, and another likely culprit is corrosion in the light socket.
You can also try changing the battery. The car battery is responsible for powering many of your car's electrical accessories while the engine is turned off. However, if the battery is dying, you should not continue driving your vehicle. Using a voltmeter to test your car's battery is a simple way to determine if it is causing your light bulbs to dim. A professional mechanic can perform this test and check for any other potential problems.
Sudden Shutdown of The Vehicle
It is not a good sign if you experience a sudden shutdown of your car's electrical system, which could be due to several factors. For instance, it may result from a faulty battery, a worn ignition switch or a malfunctioning odometer control module. Fortunately, you can do a few things to solve the problem. The first thing you should do is check the battery. The battery is a significant component of the car's power supply, providing power to the rest of the car's electrical systems. A faulty battery could shut the car off at any moment.
Next, you should look at the battery cables. These should be checked for corrosion and fit. If the wires are loose, they could short-circuit, causing the power failure. Finally, you should consider checking the alternator, a complex piece of equipment that works in tandem with the battery to provide a steady power supply to the rest of the car's electronic systems. Having a defective alternator can result in an unexpected shutdown of your car's electrical system. Depending on your car's electronics complexity, you should visit a professional auto electrician based in Norwich to get the job done.
In addition to the above, you might also need to consider a faulty fuel pump. Failing to keep the fuel from reaching the combustion chamber could result in your car's engine shutdown. Even though this is a more common occurrence, it still makes a car stop running, which is a problem. Lastly, a blown fuse might signify a more significant electrical problem. When a fuse blows, it causes a chain reaction of other failures.

text: Setting up your home computer as a proxy IP can be a useful way to manage internet traffic, enhance security, and maintain privacy. A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet, allowing you to route your requests through another IP address. This can help you bypass geo-restrictions, access blocked content, or simply hide your IP address. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to set up your home computer as a proxy server.Understanding Proxy ServersBefore diving into the setup process, it's essential to understand what a proxy server is and how it works. A proxy server receives requests from clients (your devices), forwards them to the internet, and then sends the response back to the client. There are various types of proxy servers, including:1. HTTP Proxy: Primarily used for web traffic, ideal for browsing websites.2. SOCKS Proxy: More versatile, can handle any type of traffic, including email and P2P.3. Transparent Proxy: Does not modify requests or responses, often used for caching.In this guide, we will focus on setting up an HTTP proxy server, which is the most common type for home use.RequirementsBefore you begin, ensure you have the following:- A computer that will act as the proxy server (Windows, macOS, or Linux).- A stable internet connection.- Basic knowledge of networking concepts.- Administrative access to the computer.Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up a Proxy ServerStep 1: Choose Proxy Server SoftwareTo set up your computer as a proxy server, you need software that can handle proxy requests.For this guide, we will use Squid as an example due to its popularity and flexibility.Step 2: Install SquidOn Windows:1. Download the Squid installer from the official website.2. Run the installer and follow the prompts to complete the installation.3. During installation, you can choose the default settings or customize them as needed.On Linux:1. Open your terminal.2. Update your package manager:```bashsudo apt-get update```3. Install Squid:```bashsudo apt-get install squid```On macOS:1. You can use Homebrew to install Squid. If you don’t have Homebrew, install it from [brew.sh](https://brew.sh).2. Open your terminal and run:```bashbrew install squid```Step 3: Configure SquidAfter installation, you need to configure Squid to function as a proxy server.1. Open the Squid configuration file. The location may vary:- Windows: `C:\Squid\etc\squid.conf`- Linux: `/etc/squid/squid.conf`- macOS: `/usr/local/etc/squid.conf`2. Edit the configuration file. Here are some key settings to modify:- HTTP Port: Specify the port on which Squid will listen. The default is 3128.```plaintexthttp_port 3128```- Access Control Lists (ACLs): Define who can use your proxy. For example, to allow all local network users:```plaintextacl localnet src 192.168.1.0/24 Adjust to your local networkhttp_access allow localnet```- Deny All Other Access: Ensure that all other access is denied:```plaintexthttp_access deny all```3. Save the changes and exit the editor.Step 4: Start the Proxy ServerOn Windows:1. Open the command prompt as an administrator.2. Navigate to the Squid installation directory:```bashcd C:\Squid\bin```3. Start the Squid service:```bashsquid -z Initialize the cache directorysquid -i Install the servicenet start squid```On Linux:1. Use the following command to start Squid:```bashsudo systemctl start squid```2. To enable it to start on boot:```bashsudo systemctl enable squid```On macOS:1. Start Squid using Homebrew services:```bashbrew services start squid```Step 5: Configure Client DevicesNow that your proxy server is running, you need to configure your client devices to use it.For Windows:1. Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy.2. Under Manual proxy setup, toggle Use a proxy server to On.3. Enter your computer's IP address and the port number (e.g., `192.168.1.10:3128`).For macOS:1. Open System Preferences > Network.2. Select your network connection and click on Advanced.3. Go to the Proxies tab.4. Check Web Proxy (HTTP) and enter your computer's IP address and port.For Mobile Devices:1. Go to your device's Wi-Fi settings.2. Tap on the connected network and scroll down to Proxy settings.3. Set it to Manual and enter the IP address and port.Step 6: Testing the Proxy ServerTo verify that your proxy server is working:1. Open a web browser on a client device configured to use the proxy.2. Visit a website to check if your IP address reflects the proxy server's IP instead of your actual IP.TroubleshootingIf you encounter issues:- Check the Squid logs located in the `/var/log/squid/` directory (Linux) or the installation directory (Windows).- Ensure that your firewall allows traffic on the proxy port (default 3128).- Verify the configuration file for errors.Setting up your home computer as a proxy server can enhance your online privacy and provide additional control over your internet traffic. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can easily configure your computer to serve as a proxy server, allowing you to route your internet requests securely and efficiently. Whether for personal use or to share with friends and family, having a proxy server at home can be a valuable tool in today's digital age.


title: What is a Charcot Foot?

text:
What is a Charcot Foot?
Charcot Foot (pronounced: shär-kō) is a sudden softening of the bones in the feet. The progressive degenerative condition can develop into a severe deformity of the foot.
Your feet are the foundation for the rest of your body. If the base deteriorates, you may not be able to walk.
The initial stages of Charcot Foot usually go undetected or un-diagnosed, as many of the symptoms are similar to other foot ailments.
Most often, the patient notices pain or discomfort due the nerve damage. Nerves in the Charcot Foot are damaged to the point where you cannot feel the rough or sharp surface you walk on.
Symptoms of a Charcot Foot
In the early stages, there could be some swelling of one or more of the feet. One foot could often be redder in color than the other, and will often feel warmer.
In later stages, the foot bone structure appears to be falling apart and the arches collapse. The person may start to show instability when walking.
In severe cases, the bones of the foot will start to push through the bottom sole of the foot causing lesions. Opens sores are very susceptible to infections and must be carefully monitored.
Weakened foot bone may also crumble while you walk.
What Causes Charcot Foot?
Diabetes is the main cause. Diabetics develop a condition called "Neuropathy", which is basically nerve damage. Damages to the nerves in the feet trigger a weakening of the foot bones, causing the arches to collapse. Weakened foot bones are easily damaged by walking on uneven ground surfaces..
A complication of diabetic neuropathy is a lack of sensitivity to the soles of the feet. If the nerves do not send messages to the brain that you just banged, bruised, or cut your foot, you may be continuing to aggravate and damage the soft bones in your Charcot Foot.
Will Far Infrared Socks Help?
Yes! Far Infrared energy rays emitted from Graphene FIR Socks help to rejuvenate cells and tissues, including some restoration of sensatory nerve endings.
Most people with Charcot Feet have noticeable swelling of their feet and ankles. The swelling is tissue inflammation, but the patient may not feel any pain because of the earlier nerve damage. Far infrared rays will help reduce the inflammation.
If the patient does experience foot pain, the FIR socks do help relieve the discomfort.
FREE Tips To Help Prevent Charcot Foot
- Wear supportive footwear that fits your foot.
- Heed early warning signs of the condition to retard the development of this serious condition.
- Inspect your feet on a regular basis, so that you will notice changes in temperature, color and structural changes.
- Wear a fresh, clean pair of Graphene Far Infrared Socks every day to help reduce inflammation and Charcot foot complications.
- If you suspect degenerative changes, maybe your doctor should X-ray the foot. An X-ray will expose any changes in alignment of the bones, and if the bones are showing disintegration.
- Rest your feet and take care not to do any further damage by continuing to move around.
- Wear a protective covering on your foot. In some cases, the doctor may cast the foot to help stabilize the bones.
- Wear Graphene Far Infrared Socks for rejuvenation of tissue, cells and nerve endings.

We love a packaged pound cake from a certain German supermarket chain and to be honest, I love that cake because it reminds of my childhood in Germany. After searching and trying, I managed to get the perfect german pound cake recipe.
My kids love it so much, I can’t make enough. And I wanted to share it with you! The cake is called Sandkuchen in german, which literally means sand cake, referring to the color and lightness of the cake, I assume. It is a simple, yet delicious pound cake recipe. It has only a few ingredients and the recipe instructions are easy to follow, but it needs patience!

Ingredients for the German pound cake recipe
- 250 gr butter
- 200 gr granulated sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar (or other type of dry vanilla aroma)
- 5 eggs
- 130 gr of all purpose flour
- 130 gr of cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Confectioner sugar (optional, for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
How to make the Sandkuchen – German pound cake
Now, you have to keep in mind that you will need a lot of patience with this cake. It needs time for whipping all the ingredients thoroughly! With that being said here are the steps to make this German pound cake recipe (Sandkuchen)
First, cut the butter into pieces and melt it. I use the oven for that: I put the butter cubes into an oven-fit bowl, heat the oven to 80 degrees Celsius, and turn it off. Then I put the bowl into the oven and wait until the butter is melted, stirring a couple of times along the way. When it finally melts, you take the bowl out of the oven and let it cool down until the butter gets firm again. As soon as that happens, you can proceed to the next step. You can see all three stages I described in the photos below.
Transfer the butter into the bowl of your mixer and start whipping it. It needs a medium speed.
While you are whipping the butter, prepare the sugar mixture. Do to that, just mix together the sugar, vanilla sugar and salt.
Also, prepare the flour mixture. Just mix together the all-purpose flour, the cornstarch, and the baking powder.
Lastly, prepare your cake form. I use a rectangular 30 cm long, normal baking cake form, which I spray with some oil and also line with baking paper. You can go the traditional way, too, by buttering and flouring the cake. I had some disappointments with this method with other cakes, so I went the safer way.
Preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius (upper & lower elements, no fan).
Adding the sugar
When the butter turns finally, after maybe 5-10 or more minutes, into a soft, almost white cream, as you can see in the next picture, it’s ready for the next step.
Add the sugar mixture slowly, little by little, into the whipped butter while continuing whipping. It takes a little time, again, patience is the word!
Time for the eggs
Now it’s time for the eggs. They have to be added one by one, allowing each one to be thoroughly whipped into the butter/sugar mixture. This takes at least 30 seconds for each egg!
After the last egg is mixed in, it’s the flour mixture’s turn. Again, very slowly, add the flour mixture into the butter/sugar/eggs mixture while continuing whipping at slow to medium speed. This, you guessed it, takes a little more time… patience!!! You might need to scrape down the bowl to manage to incorporate all of the flour.
Pour the light, fluffy cake mixture into the prepared cake form and put it into the oven.
It will need one hour, maybe 5-10 minutes more, to bake. You can use the toothpick method to check if the cake is ready, after 1 hour of baking.
Take the cake out of the oven, let it cool down for 10 minutes and then remove it from the baking form. Put it on a rack and let it cool down completely.
How to serve the german pound cake
When it cools down, put it on a plate and dust it with some confectioner sugar and it is ready to serve in slices!!! As a bonus, this cake will make your home smell amazing!
This cake is perfect along with a dollop of whipped cream or some vanilla ice cream!!! Yum!!

I did this as a drawing a while back for my free coloring pages I offered here, which is a coloring page not in my for-sale coloring book, and decided that I really wanted to do a color version myself… even though its fitting well into the series would even further-delay the release of my Airships and Tentacles art book, still in the works until the last two commissions are done.
The image is one of a little girl drawing out her surroundings with a magickal piece of chalk… floating fish, airships, men riding sharks, and geometric stars like snowflakes are some of the major scene elements, but like always: there are lots of things hidden within ice formations and other elements.
Though it is incredibly cartoony (from a cartoony sketch that is no surprise), and way more colorful than I tend to do things, I rather like it… enough so that I wish I could better communicate the look online, but you know how web graphics go: never nearly as much can be seen or felt as looking at the original painting, or at least the prints which look dead-on the original painting thanks to giclee printing technology.
And, because of the vivid coloring in this one, and because of my love for metallic prints, especially where blues and reds are concerned, I decided that I wanted to offer something more than just giclees and the original painting on my site. In addition, I am offering 25 metallic full-size (18″ x 12″) printings of this, hand signed and dated.
You can view all of these items in my store, and here is a page that shows only prints of this image.

text:
Our planning department has granted planning permission for a £7million roadside service facility at Sprucefield.
The service station will be located on the former car showroom site on the junction of the A1/M1 link road and M1 motorway.
The development includes a new petrol and electric car filling station to include 18 high speed refuelling stations, a 5,000 sq ft modern retail and convenience store, a state of the art coffee drive thru, a bright and modern forecourt, a drive thru restaurant, a drive thru automated car wash and associated self-service car wash and vacuum bays, car and HGV parking.
The planning application was submitted on behalf of LCC Group by Holywood-based Gravis Planning, one of Northern Ireland’s leading planning consultancies.
Headquartered in Cookstown, LCC Group (TA GO) is Northern Irelands largest oil importer and green energy provider.
The 1.25 hectare site is located at 225 Hillsborough Road adjacent to the main Sprucefield Centre and opposite Sprucefield Retail Park.
Alderman Martin Gregg, chair of the council’s planning committee, said: “This is an exciting application and a good news story for motorists and shoppers visiting and travelling through Sprucefield. The completed development will create jobs for the area, upgraded facilities and added convenience for people travelling through Sprucefield to Newry or Belfast and beyond.”
“It will meet a local need and provide improved customer choice and greater diversity in the retail offer at one of the busiest shopping locations in NI which draws over 8 million visitors per year.”
Stuart Draffin on behalf of LCC Group confirmed development is expected to begin September 2024.


title: China making worlds largest radio telescope could expand search extraterrestrial life 2136807

The world’s largest radio telescope, which could potentially broaden the search for signs of extraterrestrial life and allow astronomers to study various galaxies, is in the making -- courtesy China. The country’s space program, backed by the Chinese military, is developing the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), which will be the size of 30 football fields, CNN reported Monday.
Once complete, the telescope could possible detect radio signals from “planets orbiting a million stars and solar systems,” according to CNN. The report added that the telescope could be a “game-changer” in understanding the universe and the search for life on other planets.
According to a July report from Xinhua News, FAST will be ready by 2016. Nan Rendong, chief scientist of the FAST project, told Xinhua that the telescope will have highly accurate detection.
"A radio telescope is like a sensitive ear, listening to tell meaningful radio messages from white noise in the universe. It is like identifying the sound of cicadas in a thunderstorm," Nan reportedly said at the time.
Apart from Nan, Director General of the Chinese Astronomical Society Wu Xiangping was also optimistic about the telescope’s potential. "It will help us to search for intelligent life outside of the galaxy and explore the origins of the universe," Wu told Xinhua.
Development of FAST started in 2011 and it is currently under construction in Pingtang in southwest China's Guizhou province. Once finished, the telescope will be about a mile in perimeter and will take about 40 minutes to walk around it, according to Xinhua.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) DevOps is a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) service for development teams building on OCI.
While the CI/CD process streamlines coding development and delivery, it also comes with areas of complexity. When implementing a CI/CD architecture, technology diversity, quality requirements, team skills, cost-benefit of adoption, and product strategy should all influence your decision.
How do you keep consistency across multiple clouds without giving the build system direct access to OCI Kubernetes Engine? Learn how to connect OCI DevOps deployment pipelines to a continuous integration system, such as GitHub Actions, to achieve build consistency despite IaC inconsistencies between clouds.
A deployment strategy should be chosen by considering the trade-offs between the risk of deploying a new release, the impact of the release on users, and the implementation investment. This guide introduces and contrasts canary and blue-green deployment strategies.
Create private code repositories or connect to external code repositories such as GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud, Visual Builder Studio, Bitbucket Server, and GitLab Server.
Use pull requests to trigger a build run to deploy the code changes. Merge checks configured in the repository help ensure that the build succeeds without any conflicts.
Create and manage a build pipeline containing the stages that define the build process for successfully compiling, testing, and running software applications before deployment.
Start a deployment pipeline containing different stages for automated deployment based on blue-green, canary, or rolling strategies; each stage is associated with certain actions.
Since OCI DevOps is an OCI native service, identity, security, logging, and more are consistent across Oracle Cloud’s infrastructure, along with preconfigured secure deploys to OCI Compute services.
OCI DevOps works with your existing workflows and tools, such as GitHub, GitLab, and Jenkins. You can also leverage DevOps native code repositories to collaborate and merge code changes using pull requests.
Focus on your code and workflows with concurrent builds that scale to keep developer teams focused on development—and no servers to operate or maintain as you scale.
We’re thrilled to announce the release of the new pull request features with the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) DevOps Code Repository. This significant update introduces several critical developer collaboration features, including pull requests, repository forks, and repository insights. Whether you’re developing new application code, enhancing an existing application, or managing infrastructure-as-code (IaC) repositories, having a workflow that allows teams to review new code changes and enforce code quality controls through mandatory approvals is critical for all enterprise customers.
Read the full postSee what’s getting better and more powerful in shipping software in the OCI DevOps release notes.
One of the fastest ways to try OCI DevOps—along with Kubernetes or compute instances—is to implement a deployable reference architecture into your trial, pay-as-you-go, or universal credit OCI tenancy.

Equity outlook: The high cost of global fragmentation for US portfolios
Chief Investment Strategist
Head of Commodity Strategy
In forex, the flows during the reporting week to June 25 were generally large but also very mixed, with speculators' sale of 16.4k contracts of EUR (USD 2.2 billion equivalent) and 26k JPY ($2.1 billion) being partly offset by strong buying of the antipodeans and CAD. The Aussie short was reduced by 18k contracts (USD 1.2 billion) to 23.7k, the smallest in three years, while the Kiwi long at 26.6k is the largest since 2018. Adding to these the buying of 25.5k contracts of CAD (USD 1.9 billion) and the overall dollar long against eight IMM forex futures ended up near unchanged on the week at an eight-week high of USD 25.6 billion
The latest Commitment of Traders (COT) report, covered the week to June 25 when the Bloomberg Commodity index dropped 1.2% with losses seen across all sectors, except softs where gains were seen in sugar, coffee, and cotton. Once again, however, the grains sector came under pressure from improved conditions in key growing areas and ample supply being left over from last year’s production season. Elsewhere, the energy sector traded mixed with losses in natural gas offsetting small gains elsewhere. The metal sector continued to consolidate with gold holding above key support while copper has given back around half the strong gains recorded earlier this year.
Hedge funds responded to these developments by adding length to crude oil, gas oil, platinum, and sugar while selling was concentrated in grains, followed by natural gas, copper, cocoa, and hogs.
The COT reports are issued by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the ICE Exchange Europe for Brent crude oil and gas oil. They are released every Friday after the U.S. close with data from the week ending the previous Tuesday. They break down the open interest in futures markets into different groups of users depending on the asset class.
Commodities: Producer/Merchant/Processor/User, Swap dealers, Managed Money and other
Financials: Dealer/Intermediary; Asset Manager/Institutional; Leveraged Funds and other
Forex: A broad breakdown between commercial and non-commercial (speculators)
The main reasons why we focus primarily on the behavior of speculators, such as hedge funds and trend-following CTA's are:
Do note that this group tends to anticipate, accelerate, and amplify price changes that have been set in motion by fundamentals. Being followers of momentum, this strategy often sees this group of traders buy into strength and sell into weakness, meaning that they are often found holding the biggest long near the peak of a cycle or the biggest short position ahead of a through in the market.

title: 23 fence garden border ideas to consider

text:
A well-organized and tidy garden border can be a delight to look at and add peace and pleasure to your gardening experience. By keeping plants spaced evenly along the fence and using different types of plants for variety, you can create a beautiful border that is perfect for your needs.
Different colors and shades can be created by different plants. Some plants create bright colors, while others create softer tones. Here are some examples of plants that can provide different colors and shades: Some plants create bright colors like blue or yellow. Other plants create softer tones like purple or pink.
The flowers in my garden are a mix of different types of flowers. There are daisies, roses, lilies, and sunflowers. All of these flowers are from different families. This variety is important since it helps to give my garden a bit of everything.
On a warm day, there is nothing more refreshing than sitting in a garden surrounded by beautiful flowers. If you have an outdoor space that could use a little beautification, adding a colorful bouquet of flowers to the fence is a great way to do it! Not only will this addition make your garden look pretty, but it will also add an extra level of comfort and relaxation. When picking flowers for your bouquet, try to think about things like color and texture, as these factors will both add to the attractiveness and functionality of the arrangement.
Interesting plants and fencing designs can enhance your garden's features. Plant features could include interesting flowers or foliage, while fencing could be styled to match the surrounding environment.
One style of garden that is popular in warm climates is the tropical garden. Succulents, cacti, and orchids are common plants found in these gardens. Another style of garden that is popular in colder climates is the cottage garden. This style of garden often includes flowers such as daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths, as well as vegetables such as radishes and cucumbers.
You could combine fences with landscape features by using them to divide land and create a boundary. You could use a fence as a natural border between two gardens or terraces. You could also use a fence to divide an orchard from the surrounding farmland.
