Picture of Sunset in Tuscany
Here is a picture that I took of a nice sunset in Tuscany. This picture was taken from the porch of a castle-turned-hotel called Montalto, which is about 20 minutes outside of Siena. Montalto specializes in Agri-tourism, which lets guests stay out in agricultural areas and experience the country side.
The area around the castle is contains vineyards, olive trees, and other crops.

What Goes up Must Come Down: Points of Interest in Major Stock Futures
After the 1.3 percent surge in the main indexes, the U.S. stock futures—along with the European stock market—are now taking a step back. Here are some noteworthy events before the ringing of the opening bell in New York:
1. Staples and Office Depot shares are hurting in pre-market trading because of their decision to call off their merger. Last year, the Federal Trade Commission stated that antitrust laws would be violated if the two companies combine because they would own a big part of the office supply retail market.
2. Disney wasn’t able to achieve expectations as it revealed its second quarter results. This could lead to a slumping of its shares and a dragging down of earnings in the company’s cable networks, parks, and resorts. Fossil Group shares are also set to crash after the company has stated that earnings were disappointing and that the strength of the U.S. dollar was negatively affecting sales. Video games developer Electronic Arts (EA), on the other hand, is looking for a rise in its shares after reporting that earnings exceeded expectations.
3. The world’s biggest automobile maker, Toyota, is estimating an $8.6 billion hit to its revenue because the Japanese yen has been gaining a better foothold. After the closing of Japan’s stock market, Toyota has forecasted that its operating profits will drop 40 percent in the current financial year.
4. Among the main companies that will be releasing quarterly results before the opening are Wendy’s and Macy’s.
