Natural gas (NYSEARCA:UNG) prices were up 3.53% for this week.
Source: Finviz
Recent short-term price spikes are definitely not attributed to near-term fundamentals. Heating demand is forecasted to remain below the five-year average for all of October, but injection estimates are still below the average thanks to the structural tightening we've highlighted. As heating season starts, natural gas storage will face a very gloomy future in March and April of 2017. A supply response is needed, and we think it will come when gas prices hit $4. For the time being however, traders we talk to can't seem to get over the fact that we could be 500 Bcf below the five-year average come April 2017. Most of them have not turned bullish yet, and some remain skeptical pointing to short-term bearish signals like slower heating start and higher storage. But we cautioned that level of thinking last week as traders have to balance the short-term with the medium-term outlook.
Looking at the price action this week, it's now very evident to us that fear of missing out (FOMO) is firmly in place. The storage report this week was a catch-up report from the previous week's overstated injection figure. The price action surprised us a bit as we somewhat expected a downward bias revision, but the market certainly didn't expect it.
We think the current sentiment is that producers will somehow quickly ramp up natural gas production, but we caution that level of thinking. First, Canadian natural gas producers as a whole will barely keep production flat next year as most of the big operators switch to liquid rich plays. Second, Marcellus pipeline takeaway constraints will limit what has been the biggest supply growth in the US. Lastly, if you look at capex guidance, most producers are still using DUCs next year, and very few are actually expanding outside of the proven basins. This signals to us that higher prices will only result in moderate supply growth, and we suspect $4+ gas is needed for an extended period of time for US to catch up to the current deficit.
We will be releasing a "Big Picture Outlook" piece this Sunday to premium subscribers on why we think Canadian natural gas producers will benefit the most from the next leg up in natural gas prices. Fund managers have largely focused on Marcellus producers as they have the lowest breakeven, and we think Canadian natural gas producers have been neglected. Fund flows and better investor sentiment will see the big 30% valuation difference close, and we see this as a very non-consensus trade.
Overall, FOMO is usually the psychological phenomenon you see at the end of a recent price cycle. While fundamentally speaking, gas prices have much more potential to move up, on a short-term basis, we are wary.
If you are interested in reading our Big Picture Outlook, please consider signing up here. Thank you for reading Weekly Natural Gas Recap.

Thunderheads pile up in central Florida on summer days, usually in the late afternoon. They typically cross the state from the Tampa Bay area, heading over or near Interstate 4, booming and soaking Thonotosassa, Plant City, Lakeland, Auburndale, Davenport, the citrus groves between SR429 and US27, and finally Orlando's western suburbs.
Every so often, the cloud stacks change the script a little. Today, a great blueness watercolored the western sky around 10:30 a.m. Soon, an ill-composed storm shouldered its way over our neighborhood, rumbling but not spewing a drop. Then it stopped and seemed to gather itself to turn and look back at us like a stern aunt with hands on hips.
The rain came for real later, in the afternoon. — Adam Barr

In the town yesterday, by the bank, I watched a man and his little boy. The child was maybe three – still on reins but looking a bit old for that. You would have had to keep me on reins too, to make me stay with that man. Tall and meaty, glum, tattooed, buzz-cut hair, surly. The child cried persistently. Every now and then the man said to him "Shut up," in a dispassionate, uninvolved kind of way. Through his tears the child was trying to tell him something, ask about something, protest about something. The only reply he got from his father was "Shut up."
After a while, his voice full of weak despair, the child said twice, heart-felt: "Go away."
What do you do? How do you help? Please don't suggest to me I might strike up a chummy conversation with the man. He wasn't that kind of man, and I'm not that kind of woman. Please don't ask me how I know the man was the child's father – what else would have induced him to spend five minutes of his precious time with a small child?
There is no defence in me against this.
I don't go into the town very much, because there is so much evidence of similar family relationships, and it twists me up inside. I do my shopping on the internet.
The Wretched Wretch is permanently on the go and requires constant attention. I have never once heard his mother say to him "Shut up". When he cries she stops, goes to him, holds him, asks what the matter is. If he has a tantrum she stops, talks it through with him, waits until he has command of himself and asks him to explain, then deals with the problem as he sees it. I am a lot less patient. Sometimes I will say, "Oh get a grip!" or "Give it a rest!" or some such unsympathetic thing. But I cannot imagine the situation arising in our home where a child would be reduced to saying, in a voice emptied of everything but despair, "Go away", to his parents. I and our children's father have character flaws by the handful, but we usually had time to listen, and we were on their side.
I tried to put this incident out of my mind, prayed the Ho'oponopono prayer all round town to soak the interface between my soul and that family with peace; but today it is still with me, and the child's hopelessness and defeat is lodged in the pit of my stomach like a dark damp stain, bleeding into me.
(if you don't know what I'm talking about, see here)
About a million bits of assorted hardware, all Freecycled.
A bin. And something that looks like the top of a lamp. Plus whatever else was stashed inside. What we could of these sort of bits and pieces (most of them) we Freecycled. For the rest, our town dump had (no longer has - but the one at Mountfield has) a shop for re-usable items.

Questions an Investor in Philippine government Securities might want to raise....
RE Circulars 392 and 428 - Questions a Small Investor, Regulator, Government, PDS investor, a GSED, an Accredited Third Party Custodian, Mid-office personnel, Backroom or Support Personnel, Compliance Officer and a BAP member might want to raise ……
1. What added safeguards can I expect to enjoy under this new regime with a 3rd party custodian? Now with BTr Ross , I can check with BTr if my securities account was credited by my GSED. I don't have to do this everyday and it does not cost me a single cent to make that inquiry. What other types of report rendition do I need?
2. Can you tell me what it will cost me if I will be referred to a Third Party Custodian?
3. Are you telling me that the Third Party Custodians are the better credit risks than government? Or that the Third Party Custodians are the better risks than my bank? Perhaps, I should stop dealing with my bank altogether?
4. Why do I need a Third Party Custodian when my investment is only for Php100,000 at 6% net for 3 months? I heard that the transaction fee for a Third Party Custodian will cost me Php900.00, how about the other charges? Perhaps my GSED took a cut of 1% on a security it bought at 7% that was sold to me at 6%, but that translates to only Php250.00 vs. the Php900.00. What will happen to my earnings?
5. What will executing a Special Power of Attorney in favor of the Third Party Custodian constitute? Why can't my bank explain what this is all about? Why does someone else have to handle my investment? I used to do it by myself. How come I now have to authorize someone else to act for me?
6. I trust my bank that is why I deal with them, why will I be referred to a total stranger and I am told this is for my protection?
7. Price Transparency? BTr can make prices available via SMS, via my cellphone, how transparent can it get? I am in Mindanao, how can I participate in a fixed income bourse in Manila?
8. Portfolio valuation? I don't need this, perhaps, the bigger accounts do but BTr will also make available a benchmarking procedure that is more superior than market's. As a small investor, I usually hold my securities up to its maturity. I don't trade it, the little I will earn from lending my securities will go to naught .
9. I heard that if I were a Retail Treasury Bond holder, I need not elect a Third Party Custodian, why is this so? There are also foreign Insurance companies who got exemptions from this rule, why the disparate application of the rules?
10. If only the big accounts will be enrolled for the Third Party Custodianship and their portfolios can be used to short the market ,what happens to the price of my investment?
11. When can I expect to trade my securities to a dealer other than the bank I bought it from? Do I need this facility if my investment is only for Php100,000? What would a ¼% saving fetch for a 30 day instrument with a principal of Php100,000 net of vat and other charges?
12. Are they serious when they claim this is for my and the other small investors' protection?

Ford To Shut Japan, Indonesia Operations Citing Lack Of Profitability
Ford Motor Co. will wind up its operations in Japan and Indonesia by the end of this year, the company reportedly said Monday. The car manufacturer saw "no reasonable path to profitability" in the two countries, according to an email sent to all employees in the region.
The company will exit all areas of business in the two countries, including sales and imports of cars, and will close dealerships, Reuters cited the email sent to employees. Even the product development currently carried out in Japan will be shifted to another country.
The email, sent by Dave Schoch, president for Asia-Pacific at Ford, said: "Unfortunately, this also means that our team members based in Japan and Indonesia will no longer work for Ford Japan or Ford Indonesia following the closures."
In another emailed statement, Karen Hampton, Ford's Asia-Pacific spokeswoman, said that the step was being taken "after pursuing every possible option," Bloomberg reported. The company would continue to provide support to customers for service, spare parts and warranties, she added.
Ford said its minority shareholding in Mazda Motor Corp. would not be affected by its exit from Japan, Reuters reported.
Ford began operations in Japan in 1974 and sold about 5,000 cars last year, amounting to 1.5 percent of the imported new cars market, according to Reuters. The Japanese market is dominated by domestic heavyweights like Toyota, Honda and Nissan. The Michigan-headquartered automaker entered the Indonesian market in 2002 and sold approximately 6,000 vehicles in 2015, which was about 0.6 percent of the total new car market of the Southeast Asian country.
Last year, Ford's rival General Motors had also announced it was exiting Indonesia.

Wow. Life's been too much of a roller coaster for my tastes, lately. I thought I had left this kind of emotional up and down (and upside down) behind me in adolescence.
Olivia was actually improving on several things, like her severe separation anxiety, and then Kaden. You know, I don't feel the same about him and what he did as I would have thought. Maybe I'm still in shock because my thoughts of him become darker as time goes on.
I don't know how to relate to my children any more. For a brief shining time Charlie was easy. Then he matured just enough. He's the most stable one in the house right now though. And I suspect that's a front that he puts up for us. I've been trying to give him a wide berth and not crowd him. I am hoping it helps to keep him from going over whatever edge me may be standing on at any given moment. He and Annie ride the bus with Kaden and I don't know how that may be affecting either of them because they don't open up about anything any more.
I hate that Charlie keeps so much of his personal life this big secret, but I am afraid to push too hard and push him away. I do that too much with Annie as it is. Lisa is conditioned to tease, it's just the way she is. She doesn't mean anything by it, but when she teased Charlie about his first "official" girlfriend, he closed that door so tightly that I can't even peek through the cracks without going behind his back. I really wish that he would just be willing to talk about that stuff, but he is determined that I will never know anyone that he is involved with. I'm expecting to meet his bride on the day of their wedding, and then never see her again unless they have children and need "grandma and grandpa" to babysit.
It really is that bad.
At least he hasn't removed me from his friend list on MySpace. I would understand if he did (I mean, who wants to have their dad on their friend list?), but at least I can read his bulletins and blogs (as few and far between as they are) and feel a little bit connected. Lisa can't even do that because MySpace is blocked at her office, and I know it kills her that her children treat her as badly as they do. I love Charlie and Annie to death, but they really do treat her like shit on an emotional level and I don't know what to do about it.
Thanksgiving was the most emotinally relaxing two days we've had in such a long time. The kids didn't complain too much, but I know that they both wished they could be with their friends, and I can't blame them for that. The time they spend with their friends is great, and Lisa and I don't begrudge them a single minute of it. But when they are with us, they put too much effort into distancing themselves emotionally and it hurts more than I try to show. I don't want them burdened with my problems like that, but I wish they would let me help with their problems once in a while, ya know?
Yeah, I was the same at that age, sort of. I just worry about them, and I hate the act of worrying. Until I had teenagers, I didn't believe in worrying about anything. Now I'm too damn impotent regarding their lives to not worry about it. I know that Charlie has girlfriends at school, and I know that he probably spends time with them at birthday parties and such, but he is just too secretive about it. His soccer team's assistant coach, who works in the lunch room at his school, knows more about his love-life than I do. I'm not worried that he is acting inappropriately (I have faith in his personal judgement), but it would be nice to know something.
And I worry about Annie and some of the stuff that her friends are going through. She swears that her backslide into last year's behavior patterns was just a coincidence with Anna's going away, but I think there may be something in her psyche that was hurt, at least a little bit. Lisa and I want her to see the counselor at school. She is not happy about that. I feel that, even if she doesn't need a counselor to deal with Anna or Olivia, she probably needs one to deal with her parents and the expectations of her teachers. In our little chat with her core teacher, Mrs. Miller, last Tuesday, I felt that her teachers were probably coming on a bit too strong for her. She's not a hard case, she's just not falling in line. They didn't say anything I disagreed with, they just put it in a much harsher light than she needs. They're trained to see and anticipate such extreme resistance from kids that are failing as much as she is, with as many things happening in their lives as she has, but I think they're over-reacting to her and she will surely over-react right back at them if they're not careful. To be honest, her backsliding started in her math class right around the time of her SEOP conference, which was before Anna went away — it just didn't show itself in her other classes until then.
Lisa is beside herself. Both kids get A's and B's when they do the bare minimum, but they aren't even doing that and it frustrates her so much because they act like she's some crazy lady that doesn't understand the laws of reality. Her work-life is shit now, her home-life has been shit ever since Olivia was born (mostly because of me), and now the shitty relationship the older two allow her is slipping further out of her realm of influence. I'm being as strong and helpful as I can, when I can, but I know it's not enough and I don't know how to change that.
Back when Olivia was still a toddler and had not been diagnosed with Asperger's yet, I came to the realization that nothing in the world can bring me happiness but me. As much as I love my family and what they mean to my emotional stability, the only true happiness I have comes from my own soul. Music is important to me because it allows me to express that happiness in some outward fashion, but even it is not the source of the happiness.
That being said though, without Lisa I would not have much of that happiness left. I love my kids dearly, and I would probably shrivel up and die a little if I lost any of them – but the fact remains that I found Lisa and I chose to be with her for a reason. I've tried to help her understand that her happiness needs to come from within, and not from her job or her kids or her husband or things that she can or does have. The material goods part of that she gets, but I think that she is not finding the happiness that is within her. I don't know how to tell her without sounding like an infomercial, which will probably turn her off to anything I say, so I say nothing. And every day I wonder how much longer she will be able to hold on to her sanity without that…

Tinder Part Two: The Basics
So yesterday I wrote an introduction piece to one of the biggest free dating applications available for smartphones, Tinder. Today I am going to outline how Tinder works so you the readers are educated before you decide to download this app.
Tinder is an application specifically used for dating. The key demographic is 18-24 however there are other more older age groups that use Tinder. Tinder is a mobile version of Hot or Not. Viewing photos of single people and rating them based on their appearance. But Tinder is more of a system where parties seek to date the other party based on whether they find that person attractive. Some even put a brief profile of their likes and dislikes, quips or sayings that catch the person's attention and other types of descriptions, many using emoticons.
While viewing the photos you decide whether you "like" or "dislike". Swiping right is for like, swiping left is for dislike. If the person you liked sees you photo and likes then there is a match. If the person you like doesn't like then there is no match and you and that person end up in that great internet land in the sky never to be seen again. When there is a match both parties are notified and according to statistics it is usually the man who starts the conversation. Usually it is nothing more then a "Hey" or "How is your day going?". Sometimes it is emoticons with smiley faces and hearts. There is a definite creativity that goes along with Tinder.
When a person creates their profile they can set a distance from 1 mile to 100 miles. They can also set age limits from 18 to 50 plus. When you click on a person's profile you can see when the last time they used Tinder and where they are located. Tinder uses a GPS system that tracks smart phone or Notepads. The GPS can be a frightening part of Tinder. I will discuss those issues in the next

Trash pickers in Brazil worry about end of dump
Known in Portuguese as "catadores," the people who find their livelihoods at the 430-acre Estrutural landfill worry about how they'll survive once the open-air dump closes.
BRASILIA, Brazil (AP) – Thousands of trash pickers in Brazil are worried about how they'll survive once the largest landfill in Latin America closes.
Against a distant skyline of high-rise buildings, huge vultures dive over the nearly 9 tons of rubbish that arrive daily at the huge dump in Brazil's capital as nearly 3,000 trash pickers set aside recyclable plastic, metal and paper to sell.
Known in Portuguese as "catadores," these are people who find their livelihoods at the 430-acre (174-hectare) Estrutural landfill. Lying just 9 miles (15 kilometers) west of Brazil's ultramodern Planalto Presidential Palace, which was designed by the late architect Oscar Niemeyer, the dump is set to shut down on a still-unannounced date, the closure postponed because a replacement site is not ready.
Those concerned about Estrutural's eventual closure include 58-year-old Valter and Maria Viana, who left their small family farm in the state of Goias 25 years ago to work at the dump, where he says he can earn up to $850 a month — well above Brazil's $295 minimum salary.
Maria Viana quit working at the dump a few years ago because of a bad knee and now cares for the couple's three granddaughters in the family's comfortable three-story concrete house in Cidade Estrutural, a neighborhood of about 40,000 people next to the landfill where most of the trash pickers live.

But Valter Viana, two daughters and two sons still walk to the dump at dawn each morning to look for treasure in the trash. They wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts, along with caps and rubber gloves. Several also wrap an additional T-shirt around their heads for more protection from the waste. Some trash pickers working after sundown wear headlamps to illuminate their way.
Along with the newspapers, bottles and cans they collect for cash, they also often find other interesting objects to take home, like a pair of ceramic animals that now adorn the family's living room.
"Me and my wife raised our children and built our house thanks to the money we made as trash pickers," Valter Viana said after a day at the dump.
"Here, we made enough to sustain ourselves and our children and lead a decent life," Maria Viana added.
Over the years, the couple saved their money and even built a smaller house on their plot of land that they rent out to another family of "catadores."
But the Vianas say they don't know how they or the other trash pickers will sustain their current way of life once the dump closes.
Since it opened in the 1960s, the landfill has accumulated some 30 million tons of trash, making it the largest in Latin America, according to the University of Brasilia and Brazil's National Waste Pickers Movement. The Cidade Estrutural neighborhood alongside it grew over the years as more people arrived from around Brazil to make a living off the dump, and it was officially recognized as a satellite city of Brasilia in 2004.
But earlier this year, the city government announced it would shut the landfill and replace it with a new one in the district of Samambaia, 16 miles (25 kilometers) southwest of the presidential palace. It will use modern waste separation techniques that will require less human trash pickers.
"Just about everyone who lives in Estrutural depends on the dump for a living," said Maria Viana. "If it closes we will have to leave and seek work elsewhere."

NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Some 263 million children worldwide, nearly one in 10, do not go to school, posing a daunting hurdle to the United Nations' efforts to educate all children by 2030, the U.N.'s cultural agency UNESCO reported on Friday.
The number is "staggering," yet marks an improvement from 2000 when some 374 million children did not attend school, UNESCO said.

Fauber: College football's perfect storm
By Brad Fauber
Can you feel that? That's the collective rumble of excitement from the entire college football fanbase as the next "Game of the Century" prepares to hit our television screens this afternoon.
OK, so ESPN hasn't been so bold as to bestow such a lofty title on today's highly anticipated rematch between Alabama and Texas A&M, but if there was one regular season match-up that could be labeled as a "must-see" in college football this year, this one would be it.
The SEC showdown between the Crimson Tide and the Aggies in College Station, Texas, represents everything that makes college football what it is.
National championship hopes, Heisman Trophy statements, one of the greatest college football coaches of all time, arguably the most dynamic athlete the sport has ever seen, and even a little bit of controversy will all be brilliantly bottled up into Kyle Field this afternoon.
These are the types of games that last long after the final seconds tick off the game clock, and the outcome of the game will have a major impact on the legacies of many of the players and coaches involved.
So much has been made about Alabama's motivation to avenge last season's loss to the Aggies, but how much vengeance can really be sought by a team that still went on to win its second straight national title last year? If Alabama is looking for the motivation to leave the state of Texas with a win this afternoon, it isn't looking back to the past — it's looking at that possible trip to Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 6, 2014, for the BCS National Championship.
I'm not interested in whether or not the Crimson Tide gets its revenge over Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M. I'm far more intrigued by the national title implications that the outcome will have for both teams involved.
A win against Texas A&M would be a big step in Alabama's quest for the three-peat. Outside of a Nov. 9 home meeting with LSU in Tuscaloosa, this is the one major obstacle standing between the Tide and college football immortality.
On the other hand, there is Texas A&M hoping to do the unthinkable by pulling off back-to-back upsets over the mighty Crimson Tide. Should the Aggies defend their home turf, they will be thrust into the role as front-runner to win this year's BCS title. And that's not to mention what a win over Alabama will do for Manziel's Heisman hopes.
Johnny Football can make a big Heisman statement in this game and increase his stock early in the season. Texas A&M doesn't necessarily have to win for Manziel to get a boost in the Heisman race as long he performs well and keeps the game close, but this week could be a make or break moment for Manziel's run at a second straight Heisman Trophy.
No one has ever won the Heisman Trophy in the third week of the season, but you can certainly lose valuable ground in the race with a poor performance. Manziel needs to play well against the Tide, especially since he is slightly behind other Heisman front-runners after being suspended for the first half of Texas A&M's season opener against Rice. You can bet Manziel understands this and will do everything in his power to carry his Aggies to victory.
Therein lies the fuel behind one of the great below-the-surface storylines to this match-up. Is there a more tantalizing chess match in college football than what we are going to see today?
The contrast between Alabama head coach Nick Saban and college football bad boy Johnny Football is too beautiful to miss. Manziel's style is brilliantly chaotic, zigging and zagging through defenses in ways that make your jaw drop, while Alabama prefers to use its size and physical strength to blow teams off the ball.
Alabama vs. Texas A&M is the latest edition of the classic battle between old school and new era that makes the sport so entertaining. Add in the fact that the Crimson Tide could be facing possible sanctions after a former player received impermissible benefits, and it doesn't get much more "college football" than this.

When the new HES regulations entered into force on 1 January 2002, they entailed an expanded focus on safety offshore.
"Towards the end of the 1990s we became more and more aware of the importance of rest and restitution if people are to do a good job in a safe way, explains Eirik Bjerkebæk, (photo) dr. philos, physiologist and principal engineer in the NPD.
During the 2003 annual conference of the Safety Forum, Bjerkebæk spoke about the significance of tiredness and restitution for health, work ability and safety, and about the background for the new regulatory requirements set by the HSE regulations.
Tiredness as a risk factor
"We had received many worrying comments that offshore employees did not get sufficient rest and restitution. A large percentage of those who participated in the survey concerning the risk level on the Norwegian shelf, replied that they felt tired when they went to work."
"At the same time, the industry was writing contracts that became more and more work-intensive, and several new installations were equipped with small living quarters which only were adapted for normal operation and normal manning."
"In addition, new research from the UK showed that diurnal rhythm disturbances and intensive work lead to a longer response time, a poorer ability to read a situation, and sleep disturbances. In such a situation the ability to assess one's own capacity will also be reduced. In other words, tiredness affects the human barriers to dangerous situations. On the Norwegian shelf we have several examples where tiredness has been a significant factor in serious incidents or accidents."
"All this meant that we saw tiredness as a much greater risk factor than what we had previously thought."
Working environment and safety
Until the end of the 1990s, a good working environment was largely thought of as a requirement that safeguarded the employee's health and welfare.
However, in Storting White Paper No. 7 (2001-2002) relating to health, environment and safety in the petroleum industry, and in the new HES regulations for the petroleum activities, there is a clear focus on the connection between the working environment and safety.
"The new regulations put great emphasis on the importance of a good working environment for safe operation."
"There are now more stringent requirements concerning undisturbed sleep and no work at night unless absolutely necessary, and we have reiterated the requirement that overtime must not be planned."
"We have emphasised that the industry must become better at planning their operations so that these matters are taken care of. Another requirement now is that all operations must be planned in advance with regard to the risk caused by poor restitution, night work and shuttling."
Swingshifts are tiring
Swingshifts are another import factor. "Swingshifts" means that the employee has a working period that alternates between day and night shifts. The most common arrangement on the Norwegian shelf is to work night shift during the first week and dayshift the last week. The alternative is continuous shifts, where the employee works either day or night throughout the entire work period.
In the NPD's opinion, the documentation is clear enough to draw the conclusion that swingshifts lead to more diurnal rhythm disturbances and poor er restitution. This should lead to a precautionary approach, making sure such a risk is avoided.
"Those who work swingshifts show more signs of tiredness at the end of the work period than those who work continuous shifts."
"The requirements for rest and restitution were laid down in the new HES regulations that came into force 1 January 2002 and were similarly reinforced in a letter in the summer of 2002. There was mixed feedback from the industry," Bjerkebæk says.
"In general, the industry has understood that the requirements for shared sleeping must be complied with on new installations, and there is a need for better planning and management of the operations so that night work and overtime can be avoided."
"At the same time there is considerable resistance to the requirement that employees normally should sleep alone on existing installations."
"Some companies are working for good cooperation between the parties (employer and employee) in order to comply with the requirements within a reasonable timeframe. Others do not accept that the current extent of shared sleeping represents a deviation from the regulatory requirements, " Bjerkebæk says.
