Lukewarm start for new London Gold Futures Contracts
Two Launches â No Volume. Why the update? Over the 2 weeks, there have been a number of developments surrounding these 3 contracts. The CME and ICE gold futures contracts have both been launched, and additionally, LME has provided more clarity around the launch date of its offering. Surprisingly, while there was plenty of financial media coverage of these 3 gold futures contracts when their plans were initially publicised from August â November 2016, there has been little to no financial media coverage of the contracts now that 2 of the 3 have been launched. On 25 January, I took a look at the CME website to see what the status of the CME gold futures contract might be. Strangely, the contract itself was defined on the CME website (with a code of GSP) but it had no trading volume. From the website, it was not clear when the contract actually launched, but it looked to be sometime during the last week of January.


How Grain Futures Contracts Revolutionized Finance
When the corn, wheat and oats futures contracts debuted in 1877, little did the 12 men who founded the Chicago Board of Trade realize they were creating a vehicle that would result in trillions of dollars traded globally every year.

Most Traded Contracts. When it comes to futures trading, liquidity is the name of the game. Depending on certain economic trends, a number of futures contracts can see high volumes in some months only to see little volume in the following trading sessions. For those looking for the most liquid or easily trade-able options, we outline the five heaviest contracts from the CME Group during April of 2014:


How Grain Futures Contracts Revolutionized Finance
To understand how much volume has grown, in 1921, the oldest historical data available, annual corn trading volume was 1.17 million contracts. In 2016, annual volume was a record 85.6 million. Wheat also set record volume in 2016, at 31 million contracts traded, substantially more than the 2.5 million traded in 1921. Although oats volume is not what it was in 1921, at 530,738 contracts versus 225,230 in 2016, the U.S. no longer consumes as many oats since the invention of the automobile replaced horses for transportation.

The Fedâs Impact On Record Trading Volumes
While the Fed has gone out of its way to create more than a little confusion about its likely plan to end its $85 billion a month (e.g., annual rate of $1.02 trillion) bond buying program, depending on how the economy fares, market participants who have looked out the window see a vastly improved housing market, soaring consumer confidence, falling unemployment, rising government tax revenues, and any number of other signals that the US economy is in the midst of a robust economic expansion.

Things in your yard that are poisonous to dogs & cats!
Itâs amazing (yet scary) how many substances in your yard, compost pile or garage that are poisonous to our pets! Some of these can cause serious problems if ingested by our dogs and cats.


Things in your yard that are poisonous to dogs & cats!
Blood meal: This is dried, ground, and flash-frozen blood and contains 12% nitrogen. While itâs a great organic fertilizer, if ingested, it can cause vomiting (of some other poor animalâs blood) and diarrhea. More importantly, it can result in severe pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas.


Preventing and Treating Canine Diabetes
â¢Weight. Obesity can make cells resistant to insulin, but itâs unclear whether it actually causes diabetes in dogs. â¢Diet. A diet high in fat may contribute to pancreatitis (inflamed pancreas), a risk factor for diabetes.


Diabetes in Dogs
Even dogs eating healthy diets can suffer from diabetes. As with diabetes in humans, sometimes a dogâs bodyâs stops producing enough insulin or the cells of a dogâs body are unable to use the insulin that is produced. When either condition occurs, the result is diabetes mellitus, which causes excessive thirst and urination and extreme hunger accompanied by weight loss. To stabilize sugar levels, insulin therapy is the treatment at the outset and is usually required for the life of the dog.


Things in your yard that are poisonous to dogs & cats!
1 Like cholecalciferol poisons, it only takes a small amount of poison to cause a big problem! 2  Make sure to keep these toxins away from your pets, as this type can be poisonous to you too (if you inhale the phosphine gas if your dog vomits!).


Diabetes in Dogs
In the long term, dogs with diabetes are often treated by insulin injection to help the bodyâs needy cells use sugar more efficiently. Dietary changes can also help, by tempering sudden spikes in blood sugar levels.


Diabetes in Dogs
Certain drugs (such as corticosteroids) as well as a possible genetic predisposition (in Burmese cats) also contribute to developing the condition. In dogs, a genetic predisposition to diabetes mellitus plays a larger role than obesity or exposure to certain drugs.


Preventing and Treating Canine Diabetes
In IDD, a dog loses beta cells and no longer makes enough insulin to keep glucose levels under control. Causes include genetic defects, inflammation of the pancreas and immune attack (as in human Type 1 diabetes). In IRD, something prevents the dogâs insulin from functioning properly. That âsomethingâ may be âdiestrus,â pregnancy, an endocrine disease, or treatment with steroids or progesterone-like hormones.


Preventing and Treating Canine Diabetes
Diabetes can be a silent disease. Your veterinarian may discover your dogâs diabetes through routine bloodwork, but before that, you are likely to notice some of its symptoms: greater than normal hunger and/or thirst, weight loss, and frequent or copious urination (some dogs start having accidents in the house).


Preventing and Treating Canine Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes has typically been a disease of middle and old age (though it is being seen increasingly in young people), and has two causes: The beta cells donât make enough insulin, or muscle cells resist insulinâs help and donât take in enough glucose (or both). As a result, blood glucose levels climb.

About Dexys Midnight Runners. Dexys Midnight Runners are best known in America as one of new wave's ultimate one-hit wonders, thanks to their 1982 number one smash Come on Eileen, a distinctive fusion of '80s pop, Celtic folk, and blue-eyed soul.


Come On Eileen
Come on Eileen prevented Michael Jackson from ever having back-to-back number one hits in the US:  Billie Jean  was the number one single the previous week, while  Beat It  was the number one song the following week.


Come On Eileen
The phrase Come on Eileen is used as the chorus to the song, which was loosely inspired by the song A Man Like Me by the 1960s British soul group Jimmy James and the Vagabonds.


Come On Eileen
1 The worldwide 12 and US 7 singles featured the intro and the unedited main section (4.12). 2  This version has only been released on CD on a Kevin Rowland CD single Tonight. 3  The album version features the unedited main section and the coda (4.32).


-
When the album was released later in 1980, it caused a sensation. With their bright, tuneful, horn-heavy take on Memphis soul (which predated Paul Weller's similar transformation of the Jam), Dexys were hailed as British rock's return to an organic, soulful sound in the post-punk/new wave era.

XXXX-Now. Rock. Dexys Midnight Runners are best known in America as one of new wave's ultimate one-hit wonders, thanks to their 1982 number one smash Come on Eileen, a distinctive fusion of '80s pop, Celtic folk, and blue-eyed soul.


-
Dexys introduced their new sound on the single The Celtic Soulbrothers, which was a mild success; however, the follow-up, Come on Eileen, was a smash, becoming their second British number one.


Come On Eileen
The bridge of Come On Eileen features an improvised counter-melody which begins in a slow tempo and gets faster and faster over an accelerando vocal backing. The chord sequence of the bridge is actually the same as the verses, but transposed up by a whole tone.


Wheelchair Measuring Guide

Types of Satellite Dishes for Direct TV
March 31, 2015. Over the years, DirecTV has used a number of different satellite dishes for their service. These come in three basic sizes, paired with a variety of LNB (low-noise block converter) configurations. Originally, when DirecTV did not yet offer local programming, they still used the simple 18-inch round dish with a single LNB.


Cable & Satellite TV â  [DIRECTV] DTV - What Satellites?
[DIRECTV] DTV - What Satellites? I want to pull the plug on Comcast but do not have a good alternative. Last year I tried to get Direct TV but the installer mounted the dish and then said I could only get 2 satellites. His best guess was the satellite that had Discovery HD on it. I opted out. BUT with the increase in fees with comcast, I could live with a couple of regular channels if it was worth it.


Types of Satellite Dishes for Direct TV
DirecTV also offers a portable satellite receiver with a built-in screen. All of the hardware is built into the device, and requires no external dish. It only needs a view of the southern sky. It isn't totally portable, as it doesn't have any batteries, and requires a power source.

Separation Of Church And State
Equally well recognized is the metaphorical meaning of the church staying out of the state's business and the state staying out of the church's business. Because of the very common usage of the separation of church and state phrase, most people incorrectly think the phrase is in the constitution. The phrase wall of separation between the church and the state was originally coined by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury Baptists on January 1, 1802. His purpose in this letter was to assuage the fears of the Danbury, Connecticut Baptists, and so he told them that this wall had been erected to protect them.


Coined Sentence Examples
It is curious that Tibet, though using coined money, seems never, strictly speaking, to have had a coinage of its own.

The first recorded use of the term (or its cognates in other languages) is in the New Testament, in Acts 11:26, after Barnabas brought Saul (Paul) to Antioch where they taught the disciples for about a year, the text says: [...] the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch..


What does the name 'Christian' mean?
Response #1: Acts 11:26 is indeed the first place where the word/name Christian occurs in the Bible, but not the only place. The same word is used later in Acts 26:28, and also at 1st Peter 4:16. As Meyer (Commentary on Acts in loc.) points out, all three instances can be read as outsiders using this name as a reproach.

It's nice that Fitbit Ionic works across iOS and Android, and even syncs with Windows and Macs, via a Fitbit Connect app. That helps for fitness tracking and connecting with friends, but as a phone-connected accessory, it suffers.

The latest Fitbit can't match up to the Apple Watch
The Fitbit Ionic is a smartwatch that doubles as a fitness device. We tried two test units, and on both the sofware was pretty buggy and didn't live up to our expectations. Most folks who use an iPhone should consider an Apple Watch instead.

The Fitbit Ionic has a few apps, with more to come As most companies do for reviewers, Fitbit sent me a loaner watch to test ahead of the release date. The software on the watch was so buggy, they had to send me another -- and that wasn't great either.


The latest Fitbit can't match up to the Apple Watch
I was happy to jump right back to my new Apple Watch Series 3, which does almost everything the Fitbit Ionic can do and more. The only catch is that the Apple Watch Series 3 doesn't work with Android devices. Even then, I think Android users should consider saving money and buying one of the more affordable Fitbit devices.

Then the cotton is pulled out of the wire teeth and out of the cotton gin.

RETURNING WHITE-TAILED FAWNS TO THEIR DOES. If you or a neighbor has moved a fawn that does not need a rehabilitatorâs help, here are some tips to replacing the. fawn and ensuring its return to its mother. â¢ Return the fawn as soon as possible as the doeâs milk will begin to dry up in 24 hours.


You found a baby deer
Fawns (babies) that are safe to assist have spots, are not afraid of humans, do not run when approached, are the size of or smaller than a medium sized dog and are found during late spring/summer. If the fawn does not fit in this category it should be dealt with by your local game warden.


-
When a White-tailed fawn is vocal, it is usually near panic-mode. As all. prey species do not like to vocalize when frightened (since it gives away their hiding spot to any nearby. predators), a vocal fawn is usually an orphaned fawn. If no doe has approached the fawn, call your local. rehabilitator for advice.


The First Months
At times, the bleat of a strange fawn will cause a doe to check on the welfare of her own fawn. After the first few days, fawns will begin to follow their mothers for short distances and begin exploring their world. However, during the first 4 to 5 weeks they still remain bedded for most of the day. At this stage of development, fawns begin to choose their own bedding site by wandering off some distance from their mother and lying down while the doe continues to feed.

Would someone explain what exactly is a Bearer Bond, how does it work, and what are the advantages?
It is different from normal stock in that no records are kept of the owner, or the transactions involving ownership. Whoever physically holds the bearer bond papers owns the stock or corporation. This is useful for investors and corporate officers who wish to retain anonymity. The downside is that in the event of loss or theft, bearer bonds are extremely difficult to recover.


How Do I Cash in My Bearer Bonds?
by W D Adkins, Demand Media. A bearer bond is like other bonds sold by governments and corporations, except the bond is not registered in the name of an owner. Nearly all bonds sold in the United States are registered with a bond agent in the name of a specific individual or organization. Since bond agents have no record of ownership for bearer bonds, you have to follow some special steps to cash them in.


How Do I Cash in My Bearer Bonds?
Congress prohibited the sale of bearer bonds because their anonymous nature made them a haven for tax evaders. The ban does not apply to state governments, but only Nevada and Wyoming still issue bearer bonds. Some pre-1982 bearer bonds had maturities of several decades and a few are still around.

The illegal movement of cash and bearer negotiable instruments: Typologies and regulatory responses
Bearer negotiable instruments (BNIs) are non-cash monetary instruments which may contain the instruction âpay to the bearerâ. The bearer is the person in possession of the BNI.

These are also subject to reporting or disclosure requirements.
