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.

“A Lego block … just lifted itself out of the box and hurled itself across the room at me. There would be the most icy draft come past you as if someone had opened the freezer door. It was all too deep, too slurred and too consistent for the kids to make it up.”

Enfield Poltergeist..
The actual podcast worth listening to..

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..

A shock story was sent across news wires last night..

VOICE star shot to death at her own concert, blazed headlines..

More information came to light moments afterwards..

Singer Christina Grimmie, who starred in NBC’s “The Voice,” died early Saturday after a gunman shot her following a performance in Florida, authorities said. According to what s known so far: A man armed with two guns walked up to the 22-year-old singer as she was signing autographs late Friday night and opened fire, Orlando Police spokeswoman Wanda Ford said. 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…

James Wan shares 5 elements of a good horror movie

James Wan shares 5 elements of a good horror movie:

Doin’t be too shocked by what they are.. You may actually realize they match what makes a good STORY or movie in general.

Nonetheless, Jakarta Post figured it was breaking news worthy enough of posting a link.. and I will share too since it has to do with James Wan.

The list, as follows:

Characters that people care about.
The cases should be relatable to the audience.
The sound design. (Just like IT FOLLOWS, one of the best.)
Atmosphere.
And good story.

Think of your favorite films or TV shows. They all have the above. Even comedies.

Hell opens? Costa Rica volcano erupts, spewing ash and a column of smoke

Hell opens? Costa Rica volcano erupts, spewing ash and a column of smoke:

The 3,340-meter Turrialba Volcano is located in Cartago Province of central Costa Rica, only 30 km from the country’s capital, San José. The volcanic activity started Wednesday and the first eruptions were recorded Friday, according to local media.

Pictures are circulating online of the enormous smokestack and scene of ‘hell’ ..

Seven people are dead in the latest eruption..

Photos taken on Sunday showed evidence of pyroclastic flows — a fast-moving cloud of hot volcanic gases, rocks and ash — in the village. Dead and injured animals were lying on the ground, around them scorched homes and smoky vegetation. Soldiers were setting up roadblocks and people were carrying their belongings and leading farm animals to safety.

Iraq tells Fallujah residents to flee before anti-ISIS offensive

Iraq tells Fallujah residents to flee before anti-ISIS offensive:

DEVELOPING NOW//

THE FIGHT FOR FALLUJAH YEARS AFTER THE AMERICAN VERSION..

THIS FROM CNN:

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi took to live television early Monday to announce the start of an operation to recapture the city of Falluja from ISIS.
Speaking on Iraqi state TV from the military’s Joint Operations Command in Baghdad, Abadi said Iraqi security forces would provide safe passage for civilians to leave the city during the operation.
Abadi’s overnight announcement came hours after Iraq’s military implored residents of ISIS-held Falluja to flee their homes ahead of the operation to wrest the metropolis from the terror group.

Iraqi planes have dropped thousands of leaflets – safe passage cards ..

Families who are unable to flee the city have been told to raise a white flag above their homes. The military has told families to call or text an emergency line to seek evacuation.

Al-Abadi spoke by phone with U.S. President Barack Obama on Saturday and “agreed on the critical importance of improving the security” of Baghdad and the Green Zone, according to a White House statement. It added that the two leaders also discussed progress being made in the campaign against the Islamic State group.

Lake Mead drops to the lowest level in history

Lake Mead drops to the lowest level in history:

This reporting from WZZM:

The nation’s largest reservoir has broken a record, declining to the lowest level since it was filled in the 1930s.
Lake Mead reached the all-time low Wednesday night, slipping below a previous record set in June 2015.
The downward march of the reservoir near Las Vegas reflects enormous strains on the over-allocated Colorado River. Its flows have decreased during 16 years of drought, and climate change is adding to the stresses on the river.
As the levels of Lake Mead continue to fall, the odds are increasing for the federal government to declare a shortage in 2018, a step that would trigger cutbacks in the amounts flowing from the reservoir to Arizona and Nevada. With that threshold looming, political pressures are building for California, Arizona and Nevada to reach an agreement to share in the cutbacks to avert an even more severe shortage.

The awful water crisis continues.. and some are now beginning to ask if ti is time to ‘unplug’ the Colorado River..

Submarine deployed in EgyptAir Flight 804 search

Submarine deployed in EgyptAir Flight 804 search:

Egypt has deployed a submarine to the Mediterranean Sea to search for the so-called black boxes from EgyptAir Flight 804, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi said Sunday.
Searchers have recovered parts of the plane wreckage – passengers’ personal belongings, life vests, aircraft chairs and even body parts – but are still scouring the Mediterranean for the fuselage and flight data and cockpit voice recorders that would likely reveal what went wrong on the flight.

Mysterious Roar And Light In The Sky Wake Mexican City

Mysterious Roar And Light In The Sky Wake Mexican City:

Residents in a Mexican city woke in fright before dawn on Saturday to bright light in the sky and then a thunderous noise, fearing a nearby volcano had suddenly erupted.

But officials said Popocatepetl volcano had not stirred and no earthquake had registered.

Instead, the phenomena witnessed by the inhabitants of Puebla de Zaragoza, a city of three million people 50 kilometers (30 miles) from Mexico City, was “most likely a meteor,” the local Astronomic Society tweeted.

Social media was captivated by the strange weekend sights and sounds–lots of scared people below felt the sky was falling.

People were terrified..
So many thought it was an explosion..
The upper atmosphere glowed.
And the booms resounded through the city.
