STOCKS
US Market- The S&P 500 Index just reached a three-month high.
The consumer-price report released on Wednesday showed that inflation had eased more than expected in July. While some are happy and optimistic, others are calling for those in charge to tame the raging bull. Many believe that the recent rally is providing false hope and that what’s to come will be dread.

Ever short on lemon or lime and you need every last drop possible to complete a drink or meal?
Here’s a quick hack to get everything out. Put the lemon in the microwave for about 10 seconds. Take it out and then roll. This simple process will soften the citrus and will allow you to release all the juice.

There is something interesting about stories of lost treasures.
Nuestra Señora de las Maravillas (Our Lady of Wonders), a 366-year-old Spanish ship lies on the ocean of the Bahamas. The ship left Spain for Columbia in 1656 but never made it. The ship collided with another and then went under, over 600 people died.
Nuestra Señora de las Maravillas has been raided by pirates and others as late as the 1990s, according to Bahamian authorities.
Today, Allen Exploration is in charge of gathering what’s left of the lost treasure. The collection will be placed in a new museum.

ENTERTAINING
A few days ago I was searching for a good movie, something that I think we can all agree gets harder to find every year.
After a long search, I stumbled upon Carbon Copy. The cover captioned “Introducing Denzel Washington” caught my attention. I’ve never seen this movie before. Denzel is the best actor in my opinion so I knew it would be worth watching.
As the cover implies… Denzel’s first movie. It’s packed with laughter and some life lessons.
Thank you for reading. I hope that you found this post interesting. Have a great weekend and see you next week, God’s will.
