“We've seen tremendous gold buying on the back of central banks, and more recently there's been retail gold buying in China, but I think we have to distinguish the kind of temporary cyclical rate factors driving gold here from what's more structural,” Blanch said. “In the case of gold, I think there's a really big structural trend towards more gold purchases driven by the major geopolitical fracture that we have in the world today between the U.S. and Europe on one side, and Russia China on the other. It's really been central banks not trusting central banks that has been behind the buy-the-dip mentality in the gold market.”

Life is not a highway strewn with flowers
Still, it holds a goodly share of bliss
When the sun gives way to April showers
Here is the point you should never miss
Though April showers may come your way
They bring the flowers that bloom in May
So if it’s raining, have no regrets
Because it isn’t raining rain, you know,
(It’s raining violets,)
And where you see clouds upon the hills
You soon will see crowds of daffodils
So keep on looking for a bluebird
And listen for his song
Whenever April showers come along

We are not executing innocent people or political opponents. We are executing murderers and they deserve it.

[Ganymedes] was the loveliest born of the race of mortals, and therefore
the gods caught him away to themselves, to be Zeus' wine-pourer,
for the sake of his beauty, so he might be among the immortals.
Thus we see the earth is divided into two to comprise, on the one hand, Europe and Africa, and on the other only Asia.
