Why big investors say it's time to hoard gold

Why big investors say it's time to hoard gold:

Investors believing they need to have gold in their portfolio as a hedge against the outcome of easy central bank policies and for other safety reasons are fueling a run in the metal. Some analysts say gold could easily climb above $1,300 an ounce.

“I think that the you’ve got ‘Brexit’ coming at you. You have a Spanish election coming at you in a week and a half and that is terribly confusing. It looks like the left is going to win. You have rising nationalism in France. You have the strike in France. You have one thing after another,” said Dennis Gartman, publisher of The Gartman letter. Other worries include rising tensions with China in the South China Sea, and Nigeria where militants have shut down oil production.

It will be fascinating to see if England votes to leave the EU.. right now polls put the anti EU ahead by 10 points.. Still some time before the referendum but all eyes will be watching.

Light pollution prevents 1 in 3 Earthlings from seeing the Milky Way at night

Light pollution prevents 1 in 3 Earthlings from seeing the Milky Way at night:

This is quite sad actually.. a beautiful sky and vast array of starlit nights dead because of pollution on the planet earth.

From the LA TIMES (LA, being no stranger to light pollution)

Across the globe, light pollution is making the night sky lighter and the stars harder to see, according to a new study.

In a paper published Friday in Science Advances, researchers reveal that 1 in 3 people worldwide are unable to see the Milky Way when they gaze at the heavens in their hometown.  In addition, a whopping 83% of the world’s population lives under light-polluted skies.

In Singapore – the country with the most light pollution in the world – the skies never go dark, the authors write. Even at 1 a.m. the sky more closely resembles the warm glow of twilight then the inky blackness of a true night.

Get this! 

In the U.S. and Europe, 99% of people live under light-polluted skies..

Imagine what we are missing.

We can’t see them..
But can they see us!?

Studies find 'super bacteria' in Rio's Olympic venues and top beaches. Take that Olympics.

Studies find 'super bacteria' in Rio's Olympic venues and top beaches. Take that Olympics.:

Scientists have found dangerous drug-resistant “super bacteria” off beaches in Rio de Janeiro that will host Olympic swimming events and in a lagoon where rowing and canoe athletes will compete when the Games start on Aug. 5.

The findings from two unpublished academic studies seen by Reuters concern Rio’s most popular spots for tourists and greatly increase the areas known to be infected by the microbes normally found only in hospitals.

They also heighten concerns that Rio’s sewage-infested waterways are unsafe.

ZIKA. Super bacteria .. political strife.

The real gold medal may have to go to the person who survives Rio 16..

 High school valedictorian skips graduation over speech about bullying

And the reaction is varied ..

Kerri Little was going to address the assembly about bullying. Feeling censored by her school, she skipped the whole thing and caused waved in Pennsylvania media by doing so.

She also had a tremendous and well thought out statement she posted to Facebook.

A future leader, perhaps?

People like this can change the world.

Bravo.

CONJURING 2 box office results trickling in from Friday -- with predictions

New Line’s Conjuring 2 is beating its projections from earlier in the week with a No. 1 take of $37.1M at 3,343 theaters. It’s down 11% from its 2013 predecessor’s $41.9M opening ..

That is actually a good opening for a sequel in the box office world – sequelitis is a very real thing.

Even TMNT2 was less than projected earlier..

But CONJURING is beating the predictions a bit.. 

It is also one of the few movies right now on ROTTEN TOMATOES with a decent score from both critics and viewers..

The gunman fatally shot himself after Grimmie’s brother tackled him, according to authorities.

Grimmie was not alone on stage during the show that proceeded her death. The singer had performed at The Plaza Live theater Friday night, along with the band Before You Exit..

BEFORE YOU EXIT.. A strange and bizarre name given the circumstances of what happened after the show.

The singer had a large social media following–and those fans are saddened by the news of the singer’s untimely demise. Even for those who are not fans, it’s shocking to hear.. It’s actually quite revolting.

A VOICE SILENCED…
