Self Promo Sunday: “Operation Future”

This week’s little re-run is a bit more Captain Cobra than CS, in all honesty - though the CS love and devotion is certainly still present. I originally wrote it just after 5x08, desperately needing some fluff to make up for the painful reveal we had just gotten. I thought this was really more of a canon compliant missing moment fic, but as I went back to try to find scenes to make the art, I realized I had imagined more of this than I thought. In my mind, it still seems like a missing moment we just didn’t get to see though, rather than truly canon divergent. At any rate, I hope you enjoy if you give it a read (or read it again.)

Summary: (5x08 really gutted me for a bit, and now I have to write some fluff in order to recover and survive the wait for 5x10. Luckily, once I calmed down a little, I saw that there were some lovely sweet moments in the episode too, and I thought I might explore them further. This one is courtesy of Killian and Henry and their very own secret code name operation. Hope you enjoy! Obviously, I still don’t own them – if I did, I would play with them much more nicely! ;)

When Emma’s lad had first come to him whilst they idled in Camelot wondering what to do and how to proceed, Killian had arched an eloquently skeptical brow – not sure why Henry would possibly want his opinion, want to include him in this way, and imagining Emma’s indignation at their plotting a major life decision for her in such a manner. However, the genuine hope in the young man’s eyes, the tone of voice that tried so hard to sound firm and sure while under the surface beseeching the pirate for help and support in continuing to believe, and the enthusiasm when Killian listened and showed interest, quickly led the pirate to acquiesce and become Henry’s partner in his newest secret operation.

And what a worthy mission it was. Though the Captain had known this about the boy already, the joyously enacted scheme drove the fact home to him even more forcefully. His love was not the only one stubbornly invested in the happy endings of everyone she cared for – her son was exactly the same. Heroism ran in Henry’s blood as surely as the sea flowed through Killian’s own veins, and the boy was pure love for all whom he cared about, without the extra protective shell of cultivated cynicism and walls Emma had been forced to develop so early in life. Henry had always had a home, been loved (even if Her Majesty Regina had not always expressed that love well) and known that he was wanted. The boy’s belief in Right and Good was a powerful thing, not allowing him to give up nor admit defeat when others might.

Thrusting the newspaper from Storybrooke into Killian’s line of sight, Henry had plowed forward with his explanation, growing more and more enthused as he could see the man warming to his vision. “Okay, so these three are the ones I like best, but give them all a look and see what you think…” he offered as he pointed to the classified section where several homes on the market were displayed. Even as his excitement had him near to bursting and he bounced on his toes slightly while Killian took the paper and began to peruse the choices with genuine interest, Henry still spoke quietly and kept a furtive eye on the others in Granny’s to ensure that their plans were not overheard.

Somehow, it wasn’t until he really studied the homes Henry had indicated that Killian felt this gesture’s importance hit him right in the chest. Tears he refused to let fall stung mightily in the corners of his eyes as the Captain realized quickly that all of the lad’s choices were near the docks and the Jolly, along with boasting lovely views of the water. True, Henry was looking for something good his mother could hang onto, something lovely – a hard-earned reward – to anticipate as she fought for her very soul, but he was also telling Killian that he wanted his mother’s boyfriend to be there with them for the long haul, that he was a part of their little family now, and that Killian had his acceptance and love; it was abundantly clear in the way the lad had chosen only homes that a sailor couldn’t help but love.

Glancing back up and holding earnest, eager brown eyes with his own intense blue gaze, Killian hoped desperately that he could express just how much this gift meant to him. The emotion swelled, tightening in his chest, and where words usually flowed from him eloquently, all he seemed able to rasp out in that moment was, “These are fine abodes, m’boy. Right worthy choices, to be sure.” He licked his lips, striving to continue, to say thank you, to let Emma’s lad know how much he truly cared for him in his own right, as well as for Emma’s sake, but all he could do was nod meaningfully to this extraordinary and astute young man, hoping it would convey his agreement, approval, and a growing sense of paternal love – all the things he was unable to force from his throat aloud just yet.

He could see though, as enthusiasm lit Henry’s gaze and the young Author gave him a determined nod in return – as if setting their course – that he should never have doubted the Truest Believer. Whether he had been able to voice all he felt or not, it would appear that he and Emma’s son also understood each other.

“Well now, Master Mills,” he gave Henry a playful, secretive smile, keeping his voice soft, but allowing a degree of joviality as well, “if we are in accord, perhaps we should shake on it and seal the deal? A gentlemen’s agreement of sorts?”

Henry literally beamed back at him, extending a hand to take Killian’s inconspicuously proffered right and finalize their arrangement – their gift for the mother and savior they both loved. “Aye, aye, Captain,” he said with equal good humor.

Killian circled the house he liked best, jotting down a tentative note of “This one?” beside it, then handed the classifieds back to Henry, who tucked the paper into his tunic for safekeeping. The lad had begun to back away, looking the tiniest bit awkward and unsure for the first time, when Killian couldn’t resist speaking once more to offer his appreciation and approval, even if it was not truly his place. “This is a stellar notion, Lad,” he murmured, hoping to show his fervent sincerity in even a quiet tone. “I do believe your mum will be quite happy with it.”

Henry’s head dipped for a moment, bashful, and then, in a quick shuffle, so brief Killian almost thought he was imagining it even as it happened, the teen jerked forward, hugged him tightly, and then fell back and moved away before the man could even respond. Watching Henry’s retreat as he neared his grandpa, and Charming turned to clap him on the shoulder in greeting and welcome him into the little circle he had formed with his wife and Henry’s infant uncle to enjoy the repast Granny had made, Killian felt warmed from the inside and a smile lingered on his face. He was more strengthened for the struggle than ever, well aware that he was not alone in battling for Emma’s happiness, and as her two greatest loves united, they could not fail.

~~~00~~~00~~~00~~~

Four weeks later…

Henry stands on the front walk, looking up at the façade of the two story house he and Killian had picked as their favorite back in Camelot. Dew still glitters on the grass in the yard, and he huddles into the heavy wool of his coat against the chill of the cold, grey, early morning. The house is every bit as perfect as it had looked in that newspaper ad, and his mom does live here, but somehow things are still all wrong, and nothing has turned out the way he had hoped.

Not only is Emma still the Dark One, but something is wrong with Killian too. At first, Henry had attributed it to the fact that they were back home with no memories of their time in the other realm, and the frustration he knew the Captain must feel at thinking he had failed his love and seeing her so cold and distant, fully embracing the entity he had fought to destroy for hundreds of years. Henry had felt pretty guilty himself, though Emma had assured him that he was not one of those who had failed her, and he knows that his partner in crime, the man he thinks of as a stepdad, must be hurting even more.

The young man has tried to seek the Captain out, to listen, or to ask for sailing lessons as a distraction – even to enlist the man in a new mission to help his mom together. However, it seems that lately Killian is avoiding his company, keeping his distance for no reason that makes any sense to Henry. When they are in close proximity, as when they had used the Crimson Crown to summon Merlin, Killian is as encouraging and loyal as ever, assuring Henry he has faith in him, but otherwise there is a distance that Henry doesn’t like. One that had not been there before. Even without all his memories, the boy is nearly certain of it.

Clutching the old ad in his hands, Henry looks down at the picture of the house now standing before him, and Killian’s flowing script indicating it as their choice. Henry doesn’t really understand what has happened. He doesn’t know what he needs to do – yet. But he will not be deterred. His mom deserves her Happy Ending. Just as she had been so determined to provide for everyone else, Henry is going to see that she receives no less. He knows Killian needs to be here in this house with them. He needs these two people – his parents, he hopes, if they can have two seconds of peace all together to enjoy it – to be back to themselves and in his life once more.

Sighing, he admits to himself that hope seems lost right now, but he won’t give up on Operation Light Swan, the joyous reunion he and Killian had planned, nor on Killian and Emma themselves. He loves them. They’re family. And in his circle at least, family always finds each other. This house is meant to be the happy home of their dreams, not a cold, lonely mausoleum where Emma can hide with her darkness and heartbreak. He’s the Author and the Truest Believer, and even if it is his mission alone now, he will find a way.

Asians in Porn

When we want to talk about the fetishization of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders we need to discuss the portrayals of ourselves in porn. Our portrayals in media matter in how many of us are perceived as we interpret media as realistic portrayals of life. Leaving out porn in our discussion of representation in media would be a poor decision as porn websites get more traffic a month than many of the worlds most popular apps, like Tik Tok or Amazon. So how have Asians been portrayed in porn in the past and present?

Yellowface in Stag Pornography

According to The Museum of Sex, stag films were "[produced in the] early 1900s until the late 1960s" and "were predominantly short, black-and-white, and anonymously produced". In order to look at the historical portrayal of Asian Women in porn, we have to look at how Asians are portrayed and racialized in early stag films.

Celine Parreñas Shimizu discusses and analyzes Yellowface in stag pornography in her book "The Hypersexuality of Race" in Chapter Four "Racial Threat or Racial Treat? Preforming Yellowface". She finds in her viewings of stag pornography that the sexuality of Asian women is racialized in these films. As the actresses portraying the "Asian" women in this films are white, stereotypical, orientialist props are used to racialize the actresses. Kimonos, chopsticks, flowing robes, and specific hairstyles such as buns are stereotypically used to racialize the actresses.

"Making fun of Asians indicates the place of Asian women in the stag film. Their bodies are made into cultural objects for the viewers’ pleasure and/or ridicule. Their difference provides visual pleasure that comes from seeing objects from afar: exotic items previously unseen for they belong somewhere out there"

Genitalia also becomes a sight for racialization as closeup shots of penetration (also known as "money shots") serve to not just show the act of sex but also the differences in skin color, and sometimes even the anatomy of genitalia to differentiate race.

Many of these stag films end with messages of racial harmony, using sex to show the indifference between races. Yet these films depend on racial differences to drive the stories and arousal in their films. The sexuality of Asian women is exotic and fetishized in order to turn racial panic (Yellow Peril) in racial pleasure (Yellow Pleasure) to appeal to a white male gaze at the time. Through this analysis, we can see how the sexuality of Asian women has been purposely differed and stereotyped in order to appeal to sexual fantasies of the white male gaze.

"the stags offer a pornotopia that says that sex universalizes racial difference" "Race signals perversity. If the sex acts are equally the same, as the films ultimately argue, the marketing of racial difference seems to be contradicted. If Asian women do not ‘do’ sex differently, what’s the big deal? Race functions as a part of the narrative in the commodification of sex"

Portrayal in Porn Today

We can see how the exaggeration and usage of race to translate to sexual pleasure is presently used in porn. "Asian" is often its own category in porn and represents more of just Asians having sex. Porn including Asians is often racialized and stereotypical, as Asians continue to be portrayed as "doing sex differently". Asian women in particular continue to be portrayed as small, submissive, infantile, and exotic. Not only have these portrayals continued, but the popularity of Asian porn has skyrocketed.

According to PornHub Insights for 2023, we can see how Asian categories or "Asian-related" categories (categories associated with Asian and Asian produced media) have been extremely popular in porn search history and viewership. For me this not only reflects a growing interest in Asian porn but may also indicate the consumership of sterotypical and fetishizating behavior towards Asian women today.

Bitcoin Edges Towards Record High, More Profits in Sight?

Key Points

Bitcoin’s value has surged past $70,000, with market metrics indicating a rise in demand.

Bitcoin’s fundamental metrics, such as active addresses and Open Interest, also show signs of strengthening.

Bitcoin, after weeks of resistance, has finally breached the $70,000 mark, trading close to $72,000. In the last 24 hours, the cryptocurrency’s value has risen by 3.9%, attracting significant attention.

This price increase coincides with a general rise in demand, as demonstrated by multiple market metrics. This suggests a resurgence in investor confidence in Bitcoin.

Stablecoin Supply Ratio Oscillator Indicates High Demand

CryptoQuant analyst BinhDang pointed out that the demand for Bitcoin appears to be rebounding, as shown by the Stablecoin Supply Ratio Oscillator (SSRO). The SSRO measures Bitcoin’s market cap in relation to stablecoins like USDT, USDC, BUSD, and others. It offers insights into buying demand driven by these stablecoins. According to BinhDang, the oscillator’s data suggests an increase in stablecoin-driven buying interest, similar to the trend seen when Bitcoin hit its lowest point in late 2022.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s 90-day SSRO indicates a resurgence in quarterly demand, surpassing the positive 2-point mark. As Bitcoin enters November, this demand, along with positive news in the macroeconomic landscape, could further strengthen Bitcoin’s position, potentially pushing it towards new highs.

Other Key Metrics Show Strengthening Fundamentals

In addition to price movements, Bitcoin’s fundamental metrics also show renewed strength. Data from Glassnode shows an increase in active Bitcoin addresses over the past few weeks, suggesting more participants are re-entering the market. As of late October, active addresses had surpassed 760,000, up from below 700,000 just days prior.

This fluctuation in the metric indicates shifting market engagement, with the latest uptick implying renewed interest, which often correlates with bullish price action. More activity across addresses means more transactions are occurring on the Bitcoin network, often a favorable indicator of rising demand and market activity.

Simultaneously, Bitcoin’s Open Interest, as tracked by Coinglass, increased by 8.85% to reach $42.56 billion. This rise in Open Interest—particularly notable as it rose by 118.55% in volume to $80.43 billion—demonstrates higher participation from Futures and derivatives traders.

An increasing Open Interest typically indicates that more capital is flowing into the market. This can create momentum and push prices higher as traders position themselves to capitalize on Bitcoin’s next potential move.

Strategic Planning Oversights: Anticipating and Avoiding Planning Pitfalls in Tech Startups with Ram Puppala

In the dynamic and fast-paced world of technology startups, strategic planning is essential for success. However, despite the best intentions, many startups fall victim to common planning oversights that can derail their progress and hinder their growth potential. From failing to define clear objectives to neglecting market research, these mistakes can have far-reaching consequences for startups at every stage of their development. By identifying and addressing these planning pitfalls early on, founders can position their startups for long-term success in the competitive tech landscape.

Lack of Clear Objectives

One of the most common planning mistakes that tech startups make is failing to establish clear and achievable objectives. Without clearly defined goals, startups risk drifting aimlessly and losing sight of their overarching vision. It's essential for founders to take the time to articulate their mission, vision, and strategic objectives, outlining specific milestones and key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure progress along the way. By setting clear objectives as emphasized by tech visionaries like Ram Puppala, startups can align their efforts and resources more effectively, increasing their chances of success in the long run.

Furthermore, startups should regularly review and revise their objectives as they evolve and grow, adapting to changing market conditions and feedback from customers and stakeholders. This iterative approach to strategic planning ensures that startups remain agile and responsive to emerging opportunities and challenges, maintaining their competitive edge in the fast-paced tech industry.

Neglecting Market Research

Another critical planning oversight that tech startups often make is neglecting to conduct thorough market research. Without a deep understanding of their target market, startups risk developing products or services that fail to resonate with customers or address genuine pain points. Market research allows startups to identify market trends, customer preferences, and competitor strategies, providing valuable insights that inform product development, marketing strategies, and go-to-market plans.

Startups should invest time and resources into gathering and analyzing market data, leveraging tools and techniques such as surveys, interviews, and competitive analysis to gain a comprehensive understanding of their target market. By listening to the needs and preferences of their target audience as underscored by industry leaders such as Ram Puppala, startups can develop products and solutions that meet real-world demand, increasing their chances of success in the marketplace. Additionally, ongoing market research allows startups to stay ahead of industry trends and customer preferences, enabling them to pivot and adapt their strategies as needed to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Overlooking Financial Planning

Financial planning is another area where tech startups often fall short, leading to cash flow challenges and financial instability down the line. Many founders underestimate the importance of financial planning, focusing instead on product development and market expansion. However, without a solid financial foundation, startups risk running out of runway and being unable to sustain their operations over the long term.

Startups should develop detailed financial projections that forecast revenue, expenses, and cash flow over a set period, taking into account factors such as sales cycles, production costs, and overhead expenses. It's also essential for startups to establish realistic budgets and contingency plans to mitigate financial risks and uncertainties. By closely monitoring their financial performance and adjusting their strategies as needed with the help of industry experts including Ram Puppala, startups can maintain financial stability and position themselves for growth and scalability in the future.

Underestimating Talent Acquisition

Talent acquisition is a critical aspect of strategic planning that tech startups often overlook or underestimate. Building a strong team of skilled and motivated professionals is essential for driving innovation, executing on strategic objectives, and maintaining a competitive edge in the market. However, many founders struggle to attract and retain top talent, especially in highly competitive industries where skilled workers are in high demand.

Startups should invest time and resources into developing a comprehensive talent acquisition strategy that encompasses recruitment, onboarding, and professional development. This includes defining clear job roles and responsibilities, sourcing candidates through various channels, and offering competitive compensation and benefits packages to attract top talent. Additionally, startups should prioritize fostering a positive and inclusive work culture that values collaboration, creativity, and continuous learning. By investing in their people as noted by tech visionaries like Ram Puppala, startups can build high-performing teams that drive innovation and fuel growth, setting them up for success in the long run.

Failing to Iterate and Adapt

In the fast-paced and ever-changing world of technology, startups must be agile and adaptable to stay ahead of the curve. However, many startups fall into the trap of sticking to their original plans and strategies, even when they're no longer relevant or effective. Failing to iterate and adapt can lead to missed opportunities and stagnation, ultimately hindering a startup's ability to innovate and grow.

Startups should embrace a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement, regularly soliciting feedback from customers, stakeholders, and team members to identify areas for refinement and optimization. This iterative approach allows startups to test new ideas, iterate on existing products and services, and pivot their strategies as needed to respond to changing market dynamics. By remaining agile and open to change, startups can stay ahead of the competition and position themselves for long-term success in the fast-moving tech landscape.

Ignoring Customer Feedback

Finally, one of the most critical planning oversights that tech startups make is ignoring customer feedback. Customer feedback is invaluable for startups, providing insights into user experience, product satisfaction, and market demand. However, many founders fail to prioritize gathering and incorporating feedback into their strategic planning process, leading to missed opportunities for improvement and innovation.

Startups should actively solicit feedback from customers through surveys, interviews, and usability testing, using this information to identify pain points, address issues, and enhance their products and services. Additionally, startups should foster a culture of customer-centricity, prioritizing the needs and preferences of their target audience in all aspects of their business operations. By listening to their customers and responding proactively to their feedback as guided by industry leaders such as Ram Puppala, startups can build stronger relationships, improve product-market fit, and drive customer loyalty and advocacy over time.

Navigating the Path to Success

In the fast-paced and competitive world of tech startups, strategic planning is essential for navigating the path to success. By avoiding common planning oversights such as lacking clear objectives, neglecting market research, and underestimating talent acquisition, startups can position themselves for long-term growth and sustainability.     

By embracing iterative and adaptive approaches to strategic planning, startups can stay ahead of the curve and respond effectively to changing market dynamics. Ultimately, by prioritizing strategic planning and avoiding common pitfalls, tech startups can increase their chances of success and achieve their goals in the dynamic and ever-evolving tech landscape.

Navigating Rising Interest Rates: Strategies for Multifamily Investors in 2024

Navigating rising interest rates as a multifamily investor in 2024 requires a strategic approach. Here are some strategies to consider:

Locking in Fixed-Rate Mortgages: Consider refinancing existing loans or securing new loans with fixed interest rates to lock in lower rates before they rise further.

Adjusting Investment Criteria: With higher interest rates, cap rates may rise, potentially affecting property valuations. Adjust your investment criteria to account for this change in market conditions.

Focus on Value-Add Opportunities: Look for properties where you can add value through renovations or improved management to increase cash flow and offset higher interest costs.

Diversification: Consider diversifying your portfolio by investing in different markets or property types to reduce risk and mitigate the impact of rising interest rates.

Maintain Strong Cash Reserves: Ensure you have sufficient cash reserves to cover unexpected expenses or periods of lower cash flow due to rising interest rates.

Monitor Market Trends: Stay informed about market trends and economic indicators that could impact interest rates and multifamily investments, and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Consider Alternative Financing Options: Explore alternative financing options such as portfolio loans, bridge loans, or mezzanine financing, which may offer more flexibility in a rising interest rate environment.

Evaluate Long-Term vs. Short-Term Investments: Assess the impact of rising interest rates on the viability of long-term vs. short-term investments, and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Refinance Existing Mortgages: Evaluate the possibility of refinancing existing mortgages to lock in lower rates before they rise further. This can help reduce your interest expenses and improve cash flow.

Rising interest rates can pose challenges for multifamily investors, but also present opportunities. This description summarizes key points on navigating this environment in 2024:

Challenges:

Higher financing costs: Borrowing for acquisitions and development becomes more expensive, impacting returns and potentially delaying transactions.

Slower market growth: Price appreciation, a historical driver of returns, could moderate due to reduced buyer demand caused by higher borrowing costs.

Shifting tenant preferences: Renters may prioritize affordability, increasing demand for value-oriented properties in secondary or tertiary markets.

Strategies:

Focus on operational efficiency: Optimize property management to maximize rental income and minimize expenses. Prioritize resident retention through excellent service and competitive amenities.

Seek value investments: Target properties with strong fundamentals in less interest-sensitive markets. Look for "value-add" opportunities where improvements can boost returns.

Explore alternative financing: Consider bridge loans, mezzanine financing, or joint ventures to bridge the gap between higher financing costs and investment needs.

Prioritize cash flow: In a potentially flat appreciation market, reliable cash flow becomes crucial. Focus on properties with stable occupancy rates and solid rental growth potential.

Consider rent concessions or flexible lease terms: This can attract and retain tenants during economic uncertainty.

Build long-term resilience:

Diversify your portfolio: Spread investments across different geographic regions, asset classes, and risk profiles to mitigate risk.

Focus on long-term value: Remember, real estate is a long-term investment. While navigating the near-term impact of rising rates is important, don't lose sight of your long-term goals.

By understanding the challenges and implementing these strategies, multifamily investors can navigate the rising interest rate environment in 2024 and position themselves for success.

Eyes on the Prize: XAI Token Price Surges, with $2 in Sight Following Analyst's Projections

XAI, the digital token currently priced at $1.41, is experiencing a significant surge, prompting crypto analyst Mags to forecast a bullish future with a $2 target. The token has witnessed a remarkable 113% increase in value, catching the attention of market participants and enthusiasts alike.

Mags, who has been closely monitoring XAI's price movement, previously noted a 70% gain, positioning the token on the cusp of surpassing its all-time high. This upward trajectory has instilled growing confidence among investors, with Mags' projections generating considerable interest and speculation within the crypto community.

The surge in XAI's market activity is evident in the 8% increase in trading volume, reaching $183 million. This surge has propelled XAI's market capitalization to $391 million, representing a notable 10% jump in just one day.

XAI's price movement, breaking past the previous resistance level of $1.40, showcases a promising trajectory with a 39% increase over the last week. This upward movement indicates strong buying interest and suggests the potential for further price advancements.

The immediate milestone for XAI is the $1.50 mark, aligning with its current channel's upper resistance trend line. The overall bullish momentum in the market makes a climb toward the $2 mark seem plausible. However, caution is advised, as a fall below the $1.20 support could trigger a retraction toward the $1 threshold.

Technical indicators offer valuable insights into XAI's current state. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 61 signifies a balanced market leaning slightly towards an overbought condition. Further affirming positive market sentiment, XAI has broken above the 10-day simple moving average and emerged from a descending channel.

Supporting the optimistic outlook, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) displays a bullish crossover. Additionally, the rise of the 20-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA further validate the positive market sentiment. The Chaikin Money Flow index, standing at 0.13, provides additional validation for the bullish outlook for XAI.

Yellen’s Optimistic Macro Outlook Fuels Crypto Market Revival: Is a Surge in Sight?

Key Points

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen confirms the health of the US economy, dismissing recession fears.

Bitcoin and Ethereum see slight gains, while Dogecoin leads with a 2.6% increase.

US Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, recently reassured the public about the state of the US economy. She dismissed any signs of a possible recession.

Simultaneously, the crypto market has seen a slight recovery. Bitcoin has reclaimed the $54,000 mark.

Crypto Market Gains

All top-ten cryptocurrencies were trading in green at the time of the report. However, they did not reach their weekly highs.

Bitcoin saw a minor 0.6% gain, bringing it back above $54,000. Ethereum followed with a 1.3% increase, trading at $2,290. Dogecoin led the top ten largest cryptos by market cap with a 2.6% gain.

This rebound occurred after Yellen’s comments regarding the health of the US economy.

Market Reactions

Yellen’s remarks have sparked various reactions within the crypto community. BitMEX co-founder, Arthur Hayes, suggested that Yellen might resort to money printing to stimulate the economy. This could potentially lead people to risk assets like crypto due to increased inflation risk.

Despite these gains, Bitcoin’s price still shows signs of struggle. The Bitcoin Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) has remained below 1 since the beginning of the month, indicating that average investors have been selling Bitcoin at a loss. This suggests a bearish sentiment and market distress.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator also shows low buying pressure. The On Balance Volume (OBV) remains predominantly negative, indicating market weakness as selling volumes dominate.

However, Bitcoin may have formed an ideal entry point after testing the support at $53,469. The last time Bitcoin tested this support, it registered an 8% gain.

Buyers may remain hesitant as they await the release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on 11th September. If the inflation forecast of 2.6% for August is met or falls below expectations, the crypto market could rebound. Conversely, if the data suggests a weakening US economy, crypto prices could fall further.

Common Signs Of A Septic System Backup And How To Prevent Them

When was the last time you thought about your home’s septic tank? You would be forgiven if it’s been a while, seeing as how it’s buried on your property and usually does its job without drawing attention to itself. But when something goes wrong with a septic tank, it starts drawing attention to itself in a big way.

 Although most of the time your septic system is out of sight and out of mind, there are some warning signs you should pay attention to and act on as soon as possible. What follows are some common signs that your septic system is backing up, as well as some tips for preventing these issues.

 Signs Your System Is Backed Up

 Even though your septic system is located underground, you still may be able to tell when there’s something wrong with it. The most common signs of a septic system backup include:

 ·      Foul Odor — Toilets and drains that emit an unpleasant sewer smell aren’t normal. This could be a sign your septic tank is overflowing or backed up, because its contents are flowing back up your pipes when it should be a one-way trip.

·      Gurgling Sounds — Any strange noises coming from a drain or after you flush your toilet could indicate there’s an issue with your septic system.

·      Wet Spots on Your Lawn — If you notice unusual puddling in the area of your septic tank, you could be experiencing a backup problem. There might also be dead grass or sunken areas on your lawn. These issues may be caused by effluent from your tank overflowing and soaking into the ground around it.

·      Slow Drains — If your sinks or toilets don’t seem to be draining as fast as they should, this is another sign your septic system could be in trouble. That’s because tanks that are overfull or backed up don’t give contaminated or used water anywhere to go, forcing it to seep through solid waste.

 Preventing Septic System Backups

 Keeping your septic tank in good working order is critical if you want to avoid these issues. Fortunately, there are a number of things you can do to make sure your system will continue working the way it should, including:

 ·      Regular Pumping — Perhaps the best way to keep your septic tank from backing up is to make sure you have it pumped on a regular basis. Usually, it’s recommended that this is done once a year.

·      Watch What You Flush — Only water, solid and liquid waste, and toilet paper should be flushed down your toilets. Attempting to flush anything else such as cotton swabs, feminine hygiene products, paper towels or so-called “flushable” wipes can result in a blockage somewhere in your system.

·      Keep Tree Roots Away — One of the most common causes of blocked septic systems is tree roots growing into the pipes. Make sure you keep trees away from the area where your tank and pipes are buried. You can also try pouring root-killing products down your drains to prevent roots from growing.

·      Use Additives — There are a number of products on the market today to help keep septic systems healthy. These additives typically contain bacteria that help break down solid waste to prevent buildup in your tank and pipes.

·      Schedule Inspections — Having a professional plumber or septic tank specialist look at your system on a regular basis means any early warning signs will be caught. That way, you can take the appropriate steps to prevent small issues from growing into major headaches.

 Just because your septic system is beneath your feet doesn’t mean it should be beneath your notice. If you suspect there could be a problem with your septic tank, pay attention to the warning signs and address them as soon as possible.

Ethereum's Resilience Unleashed: Analysts Set Sights on $3500 Target Amidst Shifting Market Dynamics

Ethereum (ETH) stands tall amidst the ebb and flow of the cryptocurrency market, exhibiting notable resilience that hints at the possibility of an upward momentum shift. This steadfast performance prompts a reconsideration of entry strategies among investors, urging a more nuanced approach to harness the potential benefits of Ethereum's current strength.

CrediBULL Crypto, an analyst, recommends a strategic entry towards the lower green region, with the upper green region serving as a plausible target for ETH, aiming for the $3500 mark. This strategic adjustment underscores a sophisticated understanding of market dynamics, demonstrating a flexibility to adapt to the inherent volatility in cryptocurrency trading.

Adding to the positive outlook, DaanCrypto, an analyst, points out the recent establishment of the first proper higher low in Ethereum's price trajectory. This development injects confidence into the bullish narrative surrounding Ethereum, signaling a potential upward trajectory towards the 0.065 level in the upcoming weeks. Such projections highlight the optimism surrounding Ethereum's price action, presenting strategic opportunities for savvy investors.

In a broader market context, Ethereum's performance is juxtaposed against Bitcoin (BTC), the primary cryptocurrency. While Ethereum charts a course towards higher highs, Bitcoin remains a pivotal point of analysis for investors seeking a comprehensive understanding of market trends.

Presently, Ethereum is priced at $2,895.27, with a 24-hour trading volume of $14.9 billion, indicating a marginal decline of 0.69%. In contrast, Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at $51,903.04, with a 24-hour trading volume of $22.2 billion, showing a comparable 0.80% decrease.

Scrutinizing Ethereum's indicators, the 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 65.49, portraying a favorable position without entering overbought territory. Additionally, the 4-hour MACD signals residual upward momentum, albeit with hints of potential weakening. These nuanced insights offer investors a detailed understanding of Ethereum's current positioning and potential trajectory.

Conversely, Bitcoin's indicators depict relative neutrality, with the 4-hour RSI hovering at 58.82. Despite the 4-hour KST suggesting a potential bearish trend in the near future, Bitcoin's price remains above critical moving averages, hinting at an underlying bullish sentiment. These observations emphasize the intricate dynamics at play within the cryptocurrency market, presenting investors with a multifaceted landscape to navigate.

Ethereum's recent exhibitions of strength inspire optimism, prompting strategic recalibrations among investors to harness emerging opportunities. In a landscape marked by evolving market dynamics, adept analysis and adaptive strategies remain essential for navigating the complexities of the cryptocurrency landscape.
