Q: Split a string using regex or other optimized way I have a very simple string of the form
YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

Basically a full date/time string. Say an example is
20170224134523

Above implies
year: 2017
month: 02
day:24
hour:13
min:45
sec:23

I want to split it so that i can have it in variables (year, month, day, hour, min, sec). This is in Scala I want to. I was thinking should I use a 6-Tuple and on the right side I will use a regex or what as the most efficient way. If I want to do it in a concise way is what I am trying to think. Little bad with regular expressions.
Can anyone help?
I may want to have each variable in the 6-tuple as option type because otherwise that will also do my sanity check? Say if any variable comes out as None, I want to throw an exception

A: java.text.SimpleDateFormat handles this kind of date parsing well.
scala> val sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddkkmmss")
sdf: java.text.SimpleDateFormat = java.text.SimpleDateFormat@8e10adc0

scala> val date = sdf.parse("20170224134523")
date: java.util.Date = Fri Feb 24 13:45:23 PST 2017

You can get the date, day, hours, etc from a successful parse of the date as the API shows below.
scala> res0.get
getClass   getDate   getDay   getHours   getMinutes   getMonth   getSeconds   getTime   getTimezoneOffset   getYear

Further, I'd suggest wrapping the parse call in a Try to handle the successful and unsuccessful parsing.
scala> val date = Try(sdf.parse("20170224134523"))
date: scala.util.Try[java.util.Date] = Success(Fri Feb 24 13:45:23 PST 2017)

scala> val date = Try(sdf.parse("asdf"))
date: scala.util.Try[java.util.Date] = Failure(java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "asdf")

Here's the same thing using the newer LocalDateTime instead of Date and it's deprecated methods.
LocalDateTime.parse("20170224134523", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yMMddkkmmss"))

java.time.LocalDateTime = 2017-02-24T13:45:23

A: Because it is a date string it probably makes sense to use a dedicated date parsing library and parse to a datetime type.  Fortunatly, java provides a very good one with the java.time package.
val dateTime = LocalDateTime.parse("20170224134523", DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyyMMddHHmmss"))

Which will produce a LocalDateTime object (date and time without a timezone attached).  If you need more complicated string parsing you can use a DateTimeFormatterBuilder to customize the date format exactly as you need it.

A: With such a predictable format you can grab it by position using a substring function (from, to) into a date class.
The regex pattern to grab the sections as groups is:
(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2})

Nokia's new Pop-Up Network offers big cost savings over installing RAN
by Ben Munson |
Feb 1, 2016 5:18pm
Nokia (NYSE:NOK) is selling its new Pop-Up Network as a service that can deliver up to four times the uplink capacity while reducing cost of ownership by 80 percent.
Those savings are based on the costs Nokia estimated to be involved with deploying its Centralized Radio Access Network (C-RAN) technology on a permanent basis along with the costs over three years (at an average of three events per year) associated with owning and operating, including hardware, software and installation.
For now, Pop-Up Networks are targeted specifically for outdoor events including concerts and sporting events, where Nokia predicts network usage patterns can inverse and uplink traffic can outnumber downlink on a 3:1 ratio.
C-RAN uses various remote radio heads linked back via optic cable to a base band unit. The technology calms device interference by dispersing transmissions across six cells and 12 receivers, dynamically shifting to accommodate changing network conditions.
Andy Burrell, the head of marketing for network planning and optimization services at Nokia Networks, says C-RAN also uses scheduling to avoid interference.
"You reduce the noise in the network and it means the signals have a better chance of getting through and being heard," Burrell said in an interview with FierceInstaller.
The Pop-Up Network service sounds a lot like a Cell on Wheels (COW) that a mobile operator would typically prop up to handle temporarily increased mobile traffic confined within a certain area.
Burrell said the primary differences between the Pop-Up Network and a COW is the business case and the inclusion of Nokia's C-RAN technology. He admits that there will be some operators that would prefer to add capacity on their own and forgo the Pop-Up Network service. But he says there's a subset of operators that don't have those capabilities and for them, a lower-cost service solution makes more sense that putting capex on the books to own their COW.
Nokia said that a Pop-Up Network is pre-configured and ready so a couple weeks is an acceptable timeframe for delivery.
Nokia will be demoing the new service this month at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

In the architecture of Rudolf Steiner's great cosmological temple, this extraordinary course of lectures on spiritual beings forms the central pillar with other important texts such as the fourth chapter of An Outline of Esoteric Science (CW 13); The Spiritual Hierarchies and the Physical World (CW 136); and Inner Experiences of Evolution (CW 132). These works—outlining a revolutionary angelological cosmology—are at the heart of Steiner's mission to transform our understanding of the world by laying down a new, non-dual, phenomenological path to a contemporary divine-spiritual-physical cosmology that is angelological and theophanic.
For Steiner, what constitutes the world are "beings"—including the ground of the world itself, the "Father being." Steiner's cosmology or angelology is personal, and it is known in relationship; therefore, he presents it in terms of states and deeds of conscious, and of the divine-spiritual beings whose states and deeds they are. The spiritual world is thus always a world of beings. The twin realizations—I am an "I" being and reality is constituted of other "I" beings—go together. Cosmology is angelology. Spiritual beings define experience of the nature of reality. In these lectures, the reader is led through a series of meditations to recognize these spiritual beings and come to know their deeds.
This book is a translation from German of the book Die geistigen Wesenheited in den Himmelskörpern und Naturreichen (GA 136). Translator unknown; original translation revised by Marsha Post.

Eozostrodon — вимерлий ссавцеподібний, Він жив під час ретійського етапу пізнього тріасу. Eozostrodon відомий з розчленованих кісток з Уельсу та Південно-Західної Англії, і, за оцінками, мав довжину голови та тіла менше 10 см, трохи менше, ніж мегазостродон такого ж розміру.

Eozostrodon був описаний на основі двох зубів, виявлених у кар'єрі поблизу Фрома в Сомерсеті, Англія, кожен з яких спочатку був віднесений до окремих видів E. parvus і E. problematicus. Останнє було синонімізовано в 1971 році. Ідентичність і статус Eozostrodon є суперечливим. Кюне вважав Eozostrodon «одним і тим же» з Morganucodon. Дженкінс і Кромптон у 1979 році стверджували, що Morganucodon був суб'єктивним синонімом Eozostrodon, але Клеменс (1979) виступав за розрізнення. Нещодавня публікація знову розрізнила їх, зазначивши, що Eozostrodon відрізняється від M. watsoni відносним розміром і формою премолярних структур.

Behaviour is an essential theme in the scientific study of animals and has been one of the fastest growing fields in biology over the last 15 years. Studying how animals behave involves answering the 'why' and 'how' questions following a series of observations or experiments.
In the Department of Zoology we study the behaviour of a wide range of species from parasites and invertebrates, to fish, frogs, reptiles, birds and mammals (including marine mammals). We also look at a range of questions, for example, how do they communicate, how do they find mates, how do they establish territories, how do they find food and how do neural mechanisms and hormones control their behaviour.
At Otago behaviour is studied under two sub-themes – Behavioural Ecology and Neurobiology.

The CDC Lowers Florida Coronavirus Numbers After The State Points Out They're Inaccurate
The Health Department in the state of Florida recently put the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in their place by pointing out that the number of COVID cases they claimed the state had was inaccurately inflated.
When the CDC website posted up the record high COVID numbers again for Florida over the weekend, it didn't take long for the state's Health Department to accuse the agency of putting up incorrect numbers for the past several days, stating the real number should have been 15,319, not 28,317 that the CDC had claimed it was.
On Tuesday, the CDC finally adjusted the number of cases down to 19,584, and then said that it was having conversations with health officials in Florida to ensure all inaccuracies were corrected.
Here's more from Newsmax:
But despite the corrected lower figure, the coronavirus situation has still shown serious deterioration over the past three weeks in Florida, according to the CDC numbers, Fox News reported.
The CDC reported that Florida had more than 20,000 cases for its 7-day average of new cases and that hospitalizations went up by more than 1,100 on Tuesday to 14,787 patients with coronavirus, the highest in the country.
In addition, more than 47% of ICU beds were taken by approximately 3,000 coronavirus patients, a figure which has almost tripled in the last three weeks.
Things between President Joe Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis are already not that great right now. I don't think the CDC putting out inaccurate case numbers is going to go all that far in helping to smooth things out, do you?
Just add this to the list of screw ups we've already witnessed from the CDC during this pandemic.

For decades many different genres of CCM have existed in the same family, yet remained distinctly separate. But where does one genre end and the other begin? Was Anointed all that different from Avalon? Where would Michael W. Smith be today without first drawing inspiration from Andraé Crouch? Are the audiences for CeCe Winans and Natalie Grant so markedly different? After all, don't these Christian artists and styles live in the same "neighborhood"? Today people from all walks of life make their homes and peaceably coexist in diverse communities like Ashmont Hill in the inner city of Boston, Massachusetts. How fitting that it should also be the home neighborhood and group name for a rising pop-gospel quartet—and family— that has bridged together their diverse influences under their one true passion: worship of their Creator.
The list goes on and on, and it becomes apparent from listening to Ashmont Hill's latest release, Your Masterpiece, that the group's love of diverse musical influences and congregational worship can't be confined to a single music market. "Our Dad instilled in us from the beginning the need to be a church without walls," says April. "It really fed into our belief that the Body of Christ needed to hear the music that the Lord was inspiring within us.." Indeed, it was the enthusiastic response to Ashmont Hill's "amazingly seamless vocal blend" and "pureness of worship" that fueled the group's broad audience appeal and first led to the recording of their self-titled debut in 2008 through record label, Axiom Records. That same year, before the album had even released, the group landed an opening slot on tour with Natalie Grant. They quickly built a following from the exposure and later garnered radio success through their Top 5 Inspo single, "Song of Glory." Not a bad start, but the experiences proved a stepping stone for the development of the group's follow-up.
April, an ordained associate minister at Jubilee, is equally passionate about the group's unique calling. "I think we have the best job in the world, to worship and lead people into God's presence through song. Our hearts and desire is to spread God's love through music. We want to remind people that God didn't send Jesus into the world to condemn it, but rather to save it. That He has a plan and purpose for all of our lives. So we want to spread God's love throughout the Body of Christ, and really beyond it, because that's what it means to be a church without walls." Or in the case of Ashmont Hill, a diverse group that knows no musical boundaries.

Cyclophanes of perylene tetracarboxylic diimide with different substituents at bay positions
Junqian Feng, Yuexing Zhang, Chuntao Zhao, Renjie Li, Wei Xu, Xiyou Li*, Jianzhuang Jiang
KAUST Solar Center
Cyclophanes of perylene tetracarboxylic diimides (PDIs) with different substituents at the bay positions, namely four phenoxy groups at the Impositions (1), four piperidinyl groups at the 1,7-positions (2), and eight phenoxy groups at the 1,6,7,12-positions (3) of the two PDI rings, have been synthesized by the condensation of perylene dianhydride with amine in a dilute solution. These novel cyclophanes were characterized by 1H NMR spectroscopy, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The conformational isomers of cyclophanes substituted with four piperidinyl groups at the 1,7-positions (2 a and 2 b) were successfully separated by preparative TLC. The main absorption band of the cyclophanes shifts significantly to the higher energy side in comparison with their monomeric counterparts, which indicates significant π-π interaction between the PDI units in the cyclophanes. Nevertheless, both the electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of the cyclophanes were found to change along with the number and nature of the side groups at the bay positions of the PDI ring. Time-dependent DFT calculations on the conformational isomers 2a and 2b reproduce well their experimental electronic absorption spectra. Electrochemical studies reveal that the first oxidation and reduction potentials of the PDI ring in the cyclophanes increase significantly compared with those of the corresponding monomeric counterparts, in line with the change in the energy of the HOMO and LUMO according to the theoretical calculations.

The conformational isomers of cyclophanes substituted with four piperidinyl groups at the 1,7-positions (2 a and 2 b) were successfully separated by preparative TLC. The main absorption band of the cyclophanes shifts significantly to the higher energy side in comparison with their monomeric counterparts, which indicates significant π-π interaction between the PDI units in the cyclophanes. Nevertheless, both the electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of the cyclophanes were found to change along with the number and nature of the side groups at the bay positions of the PDI ring. Time-dependent DFT calculations on the conformational isomers 2a and 2b reproduce well their experimental electronic absorption spectra. Electrochemical studies reveal that the first oxidation and reduction potentials of the PDI ring in the cyclophanes increase significantly compared with those of the corresponding monomeric counterparts, in line with the change in the energy of the HOMO and LUMO according to the theoretical calculations.",

Don't you just love that part where Buzz Lightyear says "To infinity and beyond?" And then when Randy Newman sings that song about friends ... it's just wonderful. No wait, this is Best Toy Store. What else could it be but Toys "R" Us? Sure, you might be able to save a buck or two at the MegaSuperStore, but there is something magical about being in a store that's only about toys. It's a wonderland for kids and adults, as well.

Builder whose body was found in car on A140 had taken a cocktail of drink and drugs, inquest hears

A builder who died in a lay-by off the A140 in north Norfolk had taken a cocktail of drink and drugs, an inquest heard.
Raymond Meakins, 56, died on February 22 in Erpingham, near Aylsham, an inquest at Norfolk Coroner's Court was told.
Mr Meakins' body was found in his car, south of the junction with Church Road.
The inquest on Friday, August 23 heard that Mr Meakins left several notes in his car stating his intentions.
Area coroner for Norfolk, Yvonne Blake said these related to his financial difficulties and the fact he had not worked for a long time.
He had also spent a lot of money on Lottery tickets in a desperate bid to win the jackpot and clear his debts, she said.
In one of the notes he said: "I'm done and finished with it."
Alcohol bottles were also found in the car.
A statement from Martin Morris, an agricultural engineer, was read to the court.
Mr Morris left his home in Aldborough at about 7.45am on February 22 to travel to Sheringham.
He drove along the A140 and saw a black Renault Megane parked in the lay-by.
He said: "There was a man in the driver's seat who appeared to be asleep."
He did not think it particularly unusual, as he had previously seen people asleep in their cars on the lay-by, he said.
On his return journey he noticed the car was still there, and the man in the same position.
He initially drove by but then returned to see if the man was all right.
Looking inside the car there was no response from the man, and he added: "He was fully clothed and his seatbelt was not on. There were about 10 parking tickets on the dashboard."
Mr Morris dialled 999 and the ambulance crew pronounced Mr Meakins dead.
Ms Blake said a toxicology report found that Mr Meakins, of Swan Grove, in Chappel, Colchester, had five times the drink-drive legal limit of alcohol in his blood.
The cause of death was given as drug toxicity and Ms Blake's conclusion was suicide.

WOLFSTONE
Potted Biography (Courtesy of the Artist�s site, 2005).
PLUS 'Words of Wisdom'
Highland music is recognised world wide as a unique treasure and Wolfstone, the shining jewel in its crown. From its birth in 1989 the band has followed its very own Highland roots and delivered the passion that is contained within them onto the international stage. On one long roller coaster ride they have taken themselves from the village halls of Scotland through to headlining major festivals across Europe, Canada and from the West to the East Coasts of America, playing to audiences in excess of 60,000.
In the 10 years between 1991 and 2001, Wolfstone has released seven highly acclaimed albums, all of which encapsulate the unique and vibrant sound of their New Highland Music.
Wolfstone draw from the very foundations of Highland music, wild tunes,
beautiful airs and powerful songs and the unique blend of guitars, fiddle, bagpipes and pulsating percussion combined with a dynamic stage presence, are all well-known hallmarks of the band. These qualities, combined with the release in April 2002 of an exciting new album, 'Almost An Island', their first studio album on their own label, 'Once Bitten Records', have undoubtedly heralded a new and explosive 'Celtic World' music phase for 2002 and beyond. The title of the new Album comes from a poster in a bar on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula in the Highland Region of Scotland where the first recordings of 'Almost An Island' were made. It conveys independence to express their music and freedom to march onward into the new Century.
With a very well established and loyal fan base world wide, many new fans
are now discovering Wolfstone and their New Highland music as the band travels extensively to perform. Future performances are assured at major festivals and venues throughout the United Kingdom, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the USA and many more countries worldwide.
Words of Wisdom.
Over the course of nine years, Wolfstone dragged Scottish music -- sometimes kicking and screaming, but always quite loudly -- into the world of rock. They were loud and proud and transferred Seattle's grunge ethic from the Pacific Northwest to the Highlands, applying it to both traditional and their original music. It all began when fiddler Duncan Chisholm put together a ceilidh band to play dances in the Highlands, adding pipes and bass and drums into the mix -- a combination that was well-received. Along with original bassist David Foster, Chisholm brought in Stuart Eaglesham on guitars, his brother Struan Eaglesham on keyboards, and the guitarist/songwriter Ivan Drever to round out the lineup.
The group's 1991 debut, Unleashed, proved to be the biggest seller ever for tiny Iona Records, garnering the band a silver disc (two earlier collections, Wolfstone I and Wolfstone II, circulated once the band became famous. However, they distanced themselves from the material, recorded in their very formative stages). A year later they issued The Chase and took their more developed sound international, with a more refined mix of blazing instrumentals grounded by the heavy rhythm section and Drever's songs, including "The Prophet" and "Tinnie Run." They played around Europe and made their first foray to America, a place they'd visit several times over the next few years. Wolfstone: Captured Alive Video, a video of their live show from the period, illustrates the power of their performances -- not too subtle, but able to get to the masses.
1994 brought two U.S. releases, Wolfstone and the massive Year of the Dog, which had plenty of crunch on songs like "The Sea King." It also introduced two new members, Wayne MacKenzie on bass, and Steve Saint on pipes. It made them into even more of a rock band, and producer Phil Cunningham let the guitars ring loud and distorted. The Half Tail, two years later, had a richer, slicker sound, with one utter standout piece, "Bonnie Ship the Diamond." It put a new stamp on Scots music. Unfortunately, the stamp peeled just a year later, thanks in large part to problems with the record company and management squabbles. However, that was far from the end of the story. Drever and Chisholm worked together, and 1998 and 1999 both brought new Wolfstone albums, This Strange Place and Seven (the first reportedly a contract-filler), following on from a best-of set. While the band has played occasional shows since, they've not gotten back together

GATA's interest, Chris says, is in "public policy with regard to the rigging—or 'regulation,' if you prefer to be polite—of the currency markets, and specifically gold, by the central banks.
We asked Chris to define specifically who they are.
The world of international money movement can sometimes be confusing, even for those of us who follow it on a regular basis, so we wondered if the central banks are bullion banks, as well. Chris notes that they can be, but the definition is broader than that.
That addressed who might be manipulating the market. But it raised more questions than it answered: What are they doing? How are they doing it? And why do they bother? Chris took the first one first.
"There's a general currency market regulation scheme among the central banks, coordinated to some extent by the BIS, in which all the central banks are represented. They've pretty much acknowledged this.
"I first got onto this around 1998, when I began reading the writings of Bill Murphy [a futures trader and the co-founder of GATA]. He was ranting about what he saw as collusion to restrain the gold and silver price, which always seemed to involve the same suspects, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Chase and Citibank and institutions like that. After he went on like this for a few months, I emailed him saying there seemed to be a lot of circumstantial evidence supporting what he was saying, but if what he was saying was true, it would be against U.S. anti-trust law, against the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act and various others.
Chris and Bill created GATA in order to try to raise public awareness of what was happening and, if they could, to prod government regulators into doing something about it. A tough job, considering that a major government agency, the Treasury Department, was up to its eyeballs in the whole thing.
As the two men got to work, and began posting on the Internet, others who had been looking into the matter surfaced and contributed their own research and evidence to GATA.
"It's embarrassing to admit," Chris says, "that it took us a few years to figure out that the bullion banks are just fronting for the central banks, providing cover for them in the gold market. What we were complaining about was indeed happening, but it wasn't an ordinary anti-trust violation, it was simply the cover being lent by nominally private entities to international central bank and treasury department policies." That is, the central banks decide what they wish the gold price to be, the bullion banks carry out those wishes.
GATA believes that the cover under which central banks have been acting has now been blown so totally that only the willfully ignorant can fail to see it. And they point to the public record to bolster their claim.
For instance, there were a few key words uttered by former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan when he appeared before Congress in July of 1998. Greenspan was testifying as to why the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should not concern itself with regulation of derivatives traded in the over-the-counter market.
One might think the chairman guilty of a surprising naïveté, or perhaps something a bit more sinister, but that's a topic for another day. The relevance here is that gold, in addition to being a fundamental currency, is also a commodity, and as such the CFTC is responsible for oversight of its market.
Useful to whom? Well, probably not to the average investor.
Then there is the Washington Agreement—signed in September of 1999 by representatives of the ECB and the central banks of Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and England—which spelled out how the banks would cooperate in the regulation of the gold market. (The U.S., while not a signatory, hosted the announcement of the agreement, and may be assumed to be supportive of it, if not a direct participant.) It placed a limit on how much they could collectively sell in any given year.
The alleged reason for the Washington Agreement was to control the amount of gold being sold by central banks, in order to keep the price high and protect the value of those banks' holdings. That makes sense. It would, additionally, serve as a self-checking mechanism for the signatories, should any of them be tempted to sell off too much of their reserves.
In other words, to keep the gold price lower than it should be.
Chris sees the agreement as a smokescreen, a way of deceiving all but the insiders as to what's actually going on. It allows the central banks to say that they're taking the initiative to limit gold sales, which is true of physical gold. But while they do that with one hand, with the other they ramp up the action in the derivatives markets—forward sales, options, swaps and shorts—thereby maintaining the artificially low price of gold.
That argument is bolstered by BIS statistics showing that gold derivative transactions ballooned from $234 to $354 billion, an all-time high, in the first six months of 2006. Conversely, though, it has been a very uneven progression. For all of 2005, derivatives activity actually fell. So a firm conclusion is difficult to draw.
Nevertheless, the argument that the central banks have worked hard to suppress gold has merit. To understand why the banks would do that, rather than acting in what on the surface would appear to be their own best interests, one has to understand what was going on behind the scenes during gold's long bear market.
In order to accomplish that, the central banks had to give bullion banks some incentive to cooperate. Which they did.
The question of ownership is an important one, and it really muddies the waters. Who owns what, and where, is complicated by the use of gold swaps. We asked Chris to explain what a gold swap is.
We had to say that it all sounded very convoluted. It must be difficult to coordinate.
"Not really," Chris says. "The central banks are constantly talking to each other and they're all members of the BIS, which compiles extensive data on gold reserves, as well as derivatives and leasing.
"They need to talk, because they have to know whose gold is going out into the futures pit today. And most Western central bank gold, or a lot of it anyway, is held in trust by the U.S., whether it's in Fort Knox or the basement of the Treasury Building in New York, or in the vault up in West Point.
Thinking about all this, it seems to us that the Treasury Department, the Fed, and the European central banks were engaging in some mighty risky behavior. Chris agrees and says that, in fact, the house of cards almost came tumbling down when gold spiked in late 1999, in the aftermath of the Washington Agreement, and created a short squeeze.
With the Long Term Capital Management meltdown fresh in people's memories (it had happened only a year earlier), the central banks feared that the gold squeeze could be even worse, taking down several major trading houses and possibly setting a whole row of dominoes falling.
The intervention worked. Gold retreated back under $300 and stayed there for two years. Traders were able to unwind their short positions without massive losses. Since then, of course, steadily rising demand has driven the gold price ever higher. Ongoing market rigging has been unable to suppress it, but has served to prevent the metal from finding its true equilibrium point, in Chris' opinion. He believes that a day of reckoning will come. And what will that look like?
That sounded to us like a sudden and massive devaluation of the buck.
Since up to that point, we'd been talking about the central banks and the executive branch of the federal government, we asked if Congress knows about all this, too.
"The leadership in Congress does," Chris says. "We told them. A friend of a friend got GATA a private meeting with Dennis Hastert, speaker of the House. The GATA delegation met with Speaker Hastert in his office at the Capitol on May 10, 2000 and we laid it all out for him. Also for Spencer Bachus, the Alabama Congressman who chaired the subcommittee with jurisdiction over gold and silver. Not that we really needed to. A couple of months later, I was able to deduce that we'd been given that meeting not because the speaker wanted to hear what we had to say, but rather wanted to know how much of this was leaking out, how much was known, how much of the whole thing was compromised. I can't explain exactly how I know that, because it would put my source at risk, but trust me, I do.
Forewarned is forearmed. In Chris' words, either you've got your gold and silver or you don't.
Protecting your assets is imperative in these times of fiscal insecurity. The card house called "the United States economy" will collapse sooner or later, and you'll be glad to have taken some precautions.
One of the easiest ways to accumulate a nest egg for rougher times is to invest in precious metals—physical gold and silver—and precious metals stocks. For decades, Doug has proven that it is possible to make a double or triple return (and sometimes much more than that) within 12 months or less.
