NEW YORK (CNS) — "Adorable" has a new synonym: "Abominable" (DreamWorks), a charming animated film which transforms the dreaded Yeti monster — the legendary abominable snowman — into a lovable furball.
This family-friendly adventure set in China and the Himalayas features eye-popping animation, roller-coaster action (nothing too perilous for the little ones) and good humor. Folded in are worthy lessons on the importance of family, friendship, and helping others in need, mythological creatures notwithstanding.
Yi (voice of Chloe Bennet), a resourceful teenager, lives with her mother (voice of Michelle Wong) and grandmother Nai Nai (voice of Tsai Chin) in a small apartment in Shanghai. She's mourning the death of her beloved father, who taught her to play the violin and promised to take her on a road trip across China.
Her makeshift retreat on the roof of her building is turned upside down with the arrival of the Yeti, whom Yi nicknames "Everest." He has escaped from a research lab after being captured by Burnish (voice of Eddie Izzard), an explorer with dreams of wealth and glory, and his wicked zoologist Dr. Zara (voice of Sarah Paulson).
Yi takes pity on Everest (who grunts and groans but does not speak) and is determined to see him safely home to the Himalayas. And so she embarks on an epic adventure with two friends in tow, Jin (voice of Tenzing Norgay Trainor) and Peng (voice of Albert Tsai), and the baddies in close pursuit.
Directors Todd Wilderman and Jill Culton, using Culton's script, serve up an entertaining if predictable variation on "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial," enhanced by Everest's magical powers which intensify as his namesake peak comes into view.
Faced with multiple challenges, Yi recalls her grandmother's wisdom, based on the colorful koi fish, a symbol of perseverance. "Be like koi — keep swimming," she says. "When things get really tough, they never give up."
The film contains nonperilous action sequences. The Catholic News Service classification is A-I – general patronage. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG — parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children

Everyone is unique and we all have different understandings of what health means to each of us.
For some it may resolving or alleviating a chronic condition and managing symptoms, others it may be advice and support and for others it may be a general health MOT. For example, learning how to regulate your blood sugar can result in increased satiety, better mood, sleep, increased energy, weight loss and prevention of metabolic conditions like diabetes, hormonal imbalances and cardiovascular problems.
I use the functional medicine model, which is a client focused, whole body systems orientated approach that combines an holistic ethos with functional medicine testing, nutraceuticals with the use of real foods and or therapeutic levels of supplements (if appropriate). It looks at the root cause of disease, uses interventions which are at the fingertips of everyone and provides a framework to look at the person as unique and as an individual.
Nutritional therapy is classed as a complementary medicine and as such it can support chronic conditions, act as an preventative strategy, improve physical, emotional and psychological issues and greatly improves general health, energy levels and resilience.
How can it help you? Whether you are going through transitions or changes in your life, want to generally feel better or are feeling below par, have constant colds, infections or 'niggles' that never seem to go away, digestive issues, skin inflammation, are training for an event, suffer aches or pains, have a 'lifestyle' condition like diabetes or high cholesterol or lipids, an autoimmune condition, simply want to overhaul your diet or are preparing for pregnancy, nutritional therapy gives you the support and knowledge to guide you through your journey.

Work Text:
When Carmen is born, her whole family crowds around her, the tiny pink thing squirming in her mother's arms. She loves it, the newborn, trying to reach out to those already adoring her.
She smiles, her mother, says, "Her name is Carmen," and it is whispered back and forth between cousins and aunts over phones and frantically through collect calls. It's the first time Carmen has ever had her name shouted for.
Carmen doesn't cry as a baby, not like some do. She doesn't keep her mother up all night - she gets her attention in during the day, and then sleeps so soundly they worry for her. When it is quiet, her mother watches Carmen's chest move up and down, to remind herself that Carmen is still breathing. Carmen, you are an angel, her mother tells her. You have always been good at garnering attention.
The first time Carmen Diaz sees a television, she knows that she wants to be on it. She is the person in her house, in her family, who sings every song on the radio. She is the person who knows all the words. She is the person who turns it to the English station and keeps singing. As soon as she is old enough to convince her mother she should be let out, she takes to the streets in a flurry of her red jacket and seems to watch everyone she goes by. When she finds the one she likes, she turns to the person next to her and mimics the person she saw. She's not trying to make them laugh, because she already has them staring.
Her mother says, "Hasta las estrellas tienen que ser educadas." Carmen hears her, but she's already waiting for her encore act.
She plays games with whoever will let her, because she's good enough at acting that she can fit any role they ask of her. They cheer her name if she's playing soccer or marbles or who-can-get-their-parents-to-give-us-another-quarter. She flips her hair over her shoulder and keeps going, because she knows stardom doesn't wait.
Carmen Diaz is witty in school but only when the teacher's back is turned. She never gets in trouble but the teachers never quite let their guard down around her. It doesn't take long for her to go from begging to play to being begged. Her friends are exactly how she wants them - dripping off her words and replaceable.
Her mother says, "Hasta las estrellas necesitan amigos." Carmen hears her, but she's too busy grooming the next member of her entourage.
In middle school, she surprises no one and everyone. For the first time, she has been introduced to the concept of a school play. It wakes up a thing inside of Carmen a sixth grader can't possibly be expected to name, but her mother can. Her mother names it lobo, her mother names it hambre, her mother names it miedo, and Carmen is still blinded by the stage lights.
Carmen gets the lead, even though she's young, even though she's never been in anything before, even though it makes people mad, even though she is nothing but shocking. It seems shocking to her that she'd get anything else, because Carmen has been acting for her entire life. It doesn't stop the whispers that she can't possibly be good enough.
Her family hates how much she sings, but they don't mind too much, because it's good to hear their girl's voice. They smile when she runs her lines long before they go off-book, and her mother sews her costume together, because none of the pieces the school had prepared fits a tiny sixth grader. It's not enough for Carmen who always trips up when she has to make eye contact.
Carmen gets a standing ovation her first night.
No one is surprised when she gets into PA. She wants it and Carmen always, always gets what she wants. Carmen gets what she wants, and there can never be exceptions, because that would be contradictory to the nature of the universe.
She fits in, in the way someone who knows they can fit anywhere always seems to find a place to fit. She makes friends, but they're only barely more friends than her others. Most of them seem to be in awe of her, a little. That's the only way she's ever known her friends to be.
Carmen pretends her first day of school is like any other, but her mother can see the difference, can see the gentle trembling. Carmen leaves for school with her backpack maybe a little more full than usual, and maybe there's a little more bounce in her step.
In class, she speaks her mind and clicks her pen when she's not called on. Her essays are never well planned but always engaging to read - though her thesis seems to take on the opposing position by the end, her teachers can't help but agree with whatever she thinks.
Carmen has always gotten what she's wanted, but she can't help but find it so much more satisfying to take.
Carmen's a bitch, really and truly, but she's the kind of bitch who offers diet pills to Mabel not because she thinks Mabel's fat but because Mabel thinks Mabel's fat, and it's a kind of kindness most girls they go to school with don't get.
People notice girls who are bitches, no matter the kind, and people notice freshman, and so people notice Carmen. She does not limit herself to her friends, her words are caustic no matter who she speaks to - but they're always true, and there's always some misguided good intention behind it.
She might struggle in her classes but she pulls off okay. Her teachers aren't worried about her - everyone struggles, they say, the first time they aren't special anymore.
Carmen Diaz knows she is still special. She knows this, and the thing snapping in her, the thing that her mother calls lobo, the thing her mother sighs at every time it rears its head, is still running after what she wants. It is impossible not to notice a wolf when it wants something. It is impossible not to notice Carmen.
Her freshman year is people taking notice, and Carmen herself cued the spotlight.
No one comes in after them. Carmen stares at the doors and realizes that if she wants people above her to find her, she has to make herself worthy of that. There's no one below them to distract from her newness.
She tries her best.
Her parents come to conferences, they hear that she's doing well - a little too social, but who can blame her? Everyone here is social. A little too confident, but who can blame her? Everyone here is confident. A little too haughty, but who can blame her? Carmen knows her worth.
Her classes are fun and she at least tries to do her homework - everyone is looking at her, and it's only cool not to do it when they're not vying for a future.
In the past, Carmen was not afraid of her future. Now, she doesn't know where she's going. She keeps singing.
There's little victory in achieving the status of upperclassmen. There is no one for them to lord their new-found power over. Those above them feel little different from their own, as class sizes wither and they are frequently combined.
Their showcase is fast approaching, and their hard work finally starts to take them somewhere. The wolves in Carmen pace in circles. They want to go somewhere. They don't want to be taken.
Carmen has been waiting to go somewhere for as long as she can remember.
No one chooses her. No one says, "That Carmen, she's good." Or maybe they do, but they still pick someone else over her. Whatever the reason, she's not chosen.
Her mother says, "Hasta las estrellas tienen que ver el día." Carmen doesn't respond, because Carmen shines bright, and shiny things, glowing things, belong in the night sky.
Her teachers caution that her apathy is the cause of this, that her waiting for someone to see what's in her is misguided. She should make them see why she's good, they say.
That's never been necessary before. Carmen is supposed to be stared at. She doesn't know how she behaves when she's not being observed.
They don't really have a junior prom. Their showcase is supposed to be their something-like-a-prom, they're supposed to find the time to make stupid decisions and kiss each other some time in between the chaos of backstage.
They don't really have a junior prom. Nick Piazza holds something back at his house, but Carmen doesn't want to spend the whole night watching him and Serena flirt. She doesn't want to spend the whole night listening to Mabel complain about how hungry she is. She doesn't want to spend the whole night around those people.
A different Carmen, a little less defeated and a little less tired, would have crashed the senior prom. But she's tired and defeated - tired of no longer being cool enough to get away with that, and defeated by this showcase, this lack of time to stand in the spotlight.
She gets home. Her family doesn't know there was a party. They congratulate her on what she did, fawn over her precious moments. She smiles and accepts them, doesn't let her brain skim below the surface level high of being on stage. If it does, she knows she will find something hungry and clawing for what it saw but could not taste.
Her mother says, "Hasta las estrellas tienen noches." Carmen doesn't know what that's supposed to mean.
She falls asleep with makeup on and when she wakes up in the morning she decides it's not the worst look in the world, to be at home like this.
Carmen goes into her next year with dreams like wolves inside her, clawing and crawling to be the first out of her throat. She can barely breathe without thinking about how badly she wants something. She can't even close her eyes without seeing a million futures she craves. She has wolves inside her, hungry and starved. It is impossible for Carmen to ignore herself.
And to her mother, who calls it el lobo, who calls it el hambre, and to her mother, she has seen the end of breathing without sighing. And to her mother, all that is left to say is, "Hasta las estrellas necesitan sus madres," no matter the fact that Carmen won't hear.
Carmen is never sure what part of her decides to leave. Does she decide that this is her best opportunity? Do the wolves snap at her arteries and decide to reach for the stars she knows she can't touch without a ladder?
Is this her ladder?
Leaving doesn't hurt. Leaving is a deep breath and a waving goodbye. Leaving doesn't hurt. It couldn't. She's never set down roots, she's hung in a basket so she could be moveable, go where she is needed and thrive no matter what.
She doesn't tell her family she's leaving, but they know not to look for her. If she wrote a letter, it would say, "Hasta las estrellas se trasladan."
She has been a star her entire life. Some stars make constellations, but she has been waiting for someone to make her a frame of reference. She can't let it go that she finally can be.
Carmen comes back, because she can't help it. She can't come home, though. She cannot go somewhere when she cannot put it on a map.
Her home should be in her mother's arms. Her home should be with her family. Her home should be the bedroom she grew up dancing in. Her home should be a lot of things.
She ends up back in PA. She ends up outside the school, watching during the daytime. When people come by, she keeps walking. No one recognizes her.
Her hands shake when she passes her last five dollars over for a sandwich that doesn't even taste good.
Her hands always shake.
In the evening, she sees the last face she dreamed of seeing.
He says, "If you need anything, anything at all…"
Carmen says, "Some cash," and her fingers twitch the bill he hands to her.
Then she leaves, because all she's really learned is how to keep moving, and she's not ready for him to see her crying.
Carmen dies on the fire escape of her apartment. She dies staring where the stars are supposed to be. She has never lived where the stars were visible, but she knows where they belong. Carmen dies with her skin illuminated by the moon, her hair tied back into a high ponytail and her sweater just a little too big.
When her mother knocks on her door, making sure her daughter is okay, she finds an open window with a breeze coming in. "Carmen?" she calls, not expecting an answer. The problem with having a star for a daughter is you get used to them never being close to you.
"Carmen?" she calls again. "¿Estás aquí?" She walks into the room, looking at the way the moon casts a pale not quite shadow on the floor. Carmen has put a bench next to the window, and her mother remembers the days when she would walk in to find Carmen sitting, looking out at the city, listening to a CD, humming the words.
"Hasta las estrellas," she says, not quite sure why she's carrying on, "necesitan sus madres." She looks out the window. The words do not come.
Carmen dies, and it's not beautiful, it's ugly and sad and the cars don't go quiet for the snuffing of a star. Carmen dies, and her mother rues the moon, and calls hatred at the stars, and there is no way to fix it but wait for them to move.
Carmen dies with her skin illuminated by moonlight, her hair tied back in a high ponytail with strands falling out because at the end, her hands couldn't stop shaking, She dies on the fire escape of her apartment, looking at where the stars are supposed to be, wishing she could join them.

Since 2016, social media companies have faced an endless barrage of bad press and public criticism for failing to anticipate how their platforms could be used for dark purposes at the scale of populations — undermining democracies around the world, say, or sowing social division and even fueling genocide. As COVID-19 plunges the world into chaos and social isolation, those same companies may face a respite from focused criticism, particularly with the industry leveraging its extraordinary resources to pitch in with COVID-19 relief efforts as the world looks to tech upstarts, adept at cutting through red tape and fast-forwarding scientific progress in normal times, while government bureaucracies lag.More | Talk | Read It Later | Share
With movie theaters largely closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Disney is pushing back its slate of upcoming films. And at least one movie won't be making it into theaters at all, with "Artemis Fowl" heading straight to streaming instead. The company announced today that the film will debut exclusively on Disney+, and that the release date will be revealed soon. All of the Hollywood studios are scrambling to adapt to the theatrical closures.More | Talk | Read It Later | Share
Google today announced that it will temporarily roll back the changes it recently made to how its Chrome browser handles cookies in order to ensure that sites that perform essential services like banking, online grocery, government services and healthcare won't become inaccessible to Chrome users during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The new SameSite rules, which the company started rolling out to a growing number of Chrome users in recent months, are meant to make it harder for sites to access cookies from third-party sites and hence track a user's online activity.More | Talk | Read It Later | Share
The world's population is aging, but the needs of elderly people are still being underserved. A United Nations report found that older people make up more than one-fifth of the population in 17 countries, and by 2100, a majority of the world's population, or 61%, will be aged 60 and above. One of the most urgent needs for families is caregiving, with demand outstripping the pool of qualified providers.More | Talk | Read It Later | Share

Too much variety, in terms of everything including quality of lecturer. Some good lecturer, some bad lecturer. Personal highlight, lecturer can provide damaged equipment for your lab test. Lecturer can also depends on senior's wrong report to mark your correct report and her/his decision is final.
Embrace everything is different, including your expectation. A sad but true reality that can be experienced by students, even before entering workforce.

Have some fun in the kitchen,
experimenting with nutrition.
Here you can find easy to make, healthy recipes that will help you to increase the
nutrients in your diet. I will change the recipe selection every month!
This soup is a 'gut friendly' recipe as it contains prebiotics to help your friendly bacteria flourish
I promise the most difficult part of this is chopping the onions!
The colour of the black beans comes from phytonutrients called anthocyanins which have numerous health benefits
Chilli is such a comforting dish to eat and this vegetarian option is very filling and full of nutrients.
Salmon is such a versitile fish and it tastes lovely with this spice mix.
Another recipe with tumeric! The spice really does taste good with white fish. I have used haddock in this meal but fillets of cod, sole or pollock would all work well.
Apple crumble is my absolute favourite pudding! Try this healthy version to make the most of this year's bumper crop!
Overnight oats are a great alternative to porridge and soaking them overnight makes them easier to digest.
I have had some great feedback on this recipe, everybody loves it!
A versatile recipe that tastes great with foods such as chicken, fish, lamb, and meatballs. As always - serve with green leafy vegetables!
Eggs and salmon are a perfect combination and adding spinach gives a boost of nutrients.
Tinned mackerel is an easy way to increase your consumption of oily fish, and it tastes great too!
Chicken soup is such a lovely comforting food and using a slow cooker makes it even easier to make.
This recipe takes just a few minutes to prepare, there is no need to peel the squash, just wash, deseed, chop and pop in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil.
I love fish cakes but always find them a bit of a faff to make.
This recipe is way quicker! Rather than messing about peeling and boiling potatoes it uses butter beans and it tastes utterly delicious!
These are far healthier than the shop bought variety, they taste great and provide some valuable nutrients such as iron and vitamin A.
This tastes more like a cake to me and providing that your bananas are ripe you really don't need very much sugar. The low sugar and high fibre gives the bread a low GL score meaning that you are less likely to get a spike in blood sugar.
This is a delicious meal, packed full of nutrients and a big hit with my family. Give it a try tonight !
This is a very tasty soup - perfect as a starter for a dinner party but I love it as a weekend lunch with chickpeas.
Turkey meat balls are a fantastic mid-week dinner - this recipe is really quick to make and is much more nutrient dense than the shop bought varieties.
I love these pancakes sooo much!! Perfect for breakfast or as a snack and they are very versatile - they taste good with sweet or savoury .
I'm so pleased I made that original appointment with you which set me on a different path. Most of my digestive problems have now been eliminated or significantly improved
I really feel motivated and cannot stress enough the joy of NOT being pinned to " on a diet " and then "off a diet" and all the stress and heartache/ self-loathing that brings.
Thank you so much Caren, the amount of content has been amazing & very interesting when backed up by all the medical info!

Unique Scientist: Subha S. Raj
Time to meet Subha S. Raj (She/her or They/them)! Subha is an atmospheric scientist and a PhD candidate from India!
What kind of scientist are you?
I am an Atmospheric Scientist studying the particles in the atmosphere and their ability to become cloud droplets. I am in my fourth year of PhD in IIT Madras, India.
What made you want to become a scientist?
Even though I developed an interest in Science in high school, I could not pursue it for my bachelors degree due to the adverse conditions my family and I were in. So as the quickest solution to get a stable income and help my parents I got into Engineering with a scholarship ( the other backward class reservation for socially and educationally disadvantaged castes in India was my saviour). After the 4 year professional course I got a stable job in an IT company and my family was slowly getting back on track. So with their support I quit the IT job after a year and pursued teaching. While teaching I cleared the exam for Masters with scholarship and did Mtech in Remote Sensing and GIS, after which I taught in a national institute for a year. Then I wanted to do better which rekindled my dream to become a scientist. My family was reasonably stable by then and I took the big leap to pursue research in Atmospheric Science. I am literally living my dream right now!
"I have had dysphoria from puberty and I had pushed it in the back seat to deal with it later. But now with my wonderful partner whom I am married to, I realized that I have been queer all my life."Subha S. Raj
What makes you a #UniqueScientist?
Well.. I have struggled a lot in my childhood and in my college days due to alcoholism in the family. Our home was ostracized by relatives and neighbors for a really long time. (I'd rather not specify the person suffering from it because it might show my loved one in poor light). With support and selfless love we could bring the loved one back to sober life. But my childhood was traumatic and it always felt like living in danger (I understand that most people have it worse than this). Then our family was introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) which helped us find a community who accepted us the way we were and helped us get back to life. It has been more than 10 years since we are with AA and life has been never better. Slowly I started focusing on myself and the things that I should have addressed years ago. My gender dysphoria. I have had dysphoria from puberty and I had pushed it in the back seat to deal with it later. But now with my wonderful partner whom I am married to, I realized that I have been queer all my life. That realization was a moment of peace and it put an end to a lot of questions I had about myself. I feel that I am extremely lucky to have wonderful parents and a partner who has extreme faith in me. For a first generation learner with my life experiences, PhD is not the status quo. But with the support of my family I went for my dream and I am doing quite well so far. Also in IIT Madras which is one of the best (but very conservative) institute, being a queer scientist coming from an under privileged background is not a cake walk. But again life has been good with Science!
What's something cool you do outside of work?
I like to dance freestyle and it is one of the things which make me the happiest. I also used to paint and do Kungfu. But after joining for PhD I rarely find time to do these. After coming to IIT Madras which is located in the city of Chennai, I could take part in various environmental/cultural activities by the collectives which work on spreading awareness and deals with environmental issues. I find time to get involved in this though I wish I could spend more time in such activities.
I also love to ride bikes (my father taught me to ride one). Women riding bikes is very rare and sometimes frowned upon in my home town in Kerala.
If you had one wish and could change anything in science, what would it be?
Often I felt intimidated by the big shot research institutes in India. Back in school I was so convinced that there is no way a person like me could get into IIT. I used to think only those people who got special coaching from high school (or even before that) could get an admission. However even if you get in the fees is not quite affordable and one might end up with student loans. Therefore I feel quality education is not quite accessible to children who don't have much social or cultural capital (or any capital). Even though we have caste/class based reservation system in education, we are far from its goals. The percentage of PhD scholars from scheduled/backward castes and classes is very small when compared to their population share in our country. Therefore I really wish that we could reach out to those young people and tell them that you have chances. Not let their dreams die!
"I am literally living my dream right now!"Subha S. Raj
Who has inspired you the most in your journey to where you are now?
My inspiration in life is none other than my wonderful mother. She is the one who gave me hope even in the darkest of times. She has this unique ability of being funny without being inappropriate even when your world is tearing apart. That one person had kept me going. She is now in her fifties and is catching up on the things she missed out on her younger years. She now practices music, yoga and travels. She is the most kindest and quirkiest individual and I am so damn lucky to have her as my mother.
I also would like to mention that one other thing that kept me going during my childhood was reading Harry Potter books. Yes I am a huge Potterhead!
Let's end on a high note! What's something you've done this week that you're proud of?
This week I have unlearned and learned a lot of concepts right. This makes me so happy and proud because I know that there is progress in my understanding. Other than that I have won a scholarship to go to Max Planck Institute of Chemistry in Mainz to work on some wonderful data I collected and analysed as part of my PhD. With this I feel that my work is accepted and it has given me so much confidence and boosted my self esteem.

Abortion amendment opponents face off
A 911 call from The Women's Center, where a patient who sought an abortion needed medical help when she temporarily stopped breathing.
Standing outside The Women's Center, a South Nashville abortion clinic and doctor's office, abortion opponents made their case for greater regulation of such facilities — then engaged in a testy exchange with someone who opposes it.
Passage of Amendment 1 this November would open the door for lawmakers to enact new abortion restrictions, including clinic regulations that Tennessee courts have found to be unconstitutional in the past because they impose "an undue burden on a woman's right to privacy."
Amendment 1 backers say such measures are needed to protect the health and safety of women and girls, while abortion rights advocates say they are strictly intended to curb access to abortion.
"A lack of licensing and inspections allows these places to be totally unprepared for the horrible things that can go wrong," said Murfreesboro physician Brent Boles, who played audio of a 911 call from The Women's Center in June after a women who sought an abortion temporarily stopped breathing.
Reached after the news conference, Tom Jesse, an attorney for The Women's Center, said the medical emergency was not directly related to the woman's abortion but declined to discuss it further.
RELATED: What Tennesseans are voting on this election
The campaign for and against Amendment 1 have moved into high gear as Election Day approaches, with dueling press conferences by physicians and faith groups, waves of television and radio commercials and intense on-the-ground efforts to urge voters to cast their ballots in a mid-term election that typically draws low turnout.
Amendment 1 backers hope its passage will prompt greater regulations of abortion clinics. Specifically, they want legislators to force all of the state's abortion clinics to meet the standards of an ambulatory surgical center. Currently five abortion clinics in the state voluntarily meet those standards. The Women's Center, which also has a location in Bristol, does not.
Across the country, such abortion clinic restrictions have been enacted in 23 states but in some cases have faced legal challenges, including one recent measure in Texas. That state's highest court this month temporarily issued a stay on the measure.
Ambulatory care centers have strict standards, including facility requirements for doorway widths and room sizes that are often expensive to implement.
Opponents of expanding such regulations note that physicians and nurses are licensed and the facilities are governed by requirements by federal, state and local health departments. The Women's Center is licensed and inspected as a doctor's office. Opponents of Amendment 1 point out that abortions have a complication rate of less than 1 percent, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Amendment 1 opponents note that Tennessee lawmakers already have the ability to pass abortion regulations. Tennessee requires parental consent for any minor receiving an abortion and has banned the use of telemedicine — or video conferences between doctors and patients — in administering drugs that induce abortions. Last year, state lawmakers enacted a measure requiring physicians performing abortions to have admitting privileges at local hospitals. Two clinics in the state said they were forced to shut down because of that measure.
In 2002, the state Court of Appeals struck down a state law requiring clinics to meet the strict centers of a surgical care provider. The case involved The Women's Center, which is located off Nolensville Road on a small side street near the offices of Tennessee Right to Life, one of the groups leading the campaign to pass the amendment.
Monday's press conference was held on the grass bordering the clinic's property line. As it got started, three Metro police officers arrived and stood in front of the clinic to provide security. A passer-by said he felt the amendment proponents were more concerned with children before they were born than after. He also challenged them to answer how many women had died as a result of an abortion in Tennessee.
Amendment 1 supporters had no answer, but Tennessee Right to Life president Brian Harris responded with a question of his own: "How many have to?"

BlueRock Diamonds (LON: BRD) shares were up 15% on the London Stock Exchange Friday after the miner announced it had recovered its largest diamond to date, a 24.9 carat gem quality stone.
BlueRock owns and operates the Kareevlei Diamond Mine in the Kimberley region of South Africa. The miner's largest diamond prior was 16.28 carats, which sold for $78,947.
"This record recovery of such a high-quality diamond is an exciting milestone and underpins why we are so confident about the potential of the Kareevlei mine. We have a comprehensive development plan to increase production and look forward to providing further updates as we progress," executive chairman Mike Houston said in a media statement.
The diamond will be put to tender, the results of which will be announced June 17, the company said.
BlueRock's shares were priced at 11 pence on the LSE late Friday, on a day that saw trading volume at 61.9 million, mover six times the average daily trading volume is 9.5 million. The company has a £1.8 million market capitalization.

Desert Gold Ventures (TSXV: DAU) announced this week that the Malian government approved the renewal of its permit to operate the Djimbala project, located in southern Mali.
In a press release, Desert explained that the permit renewal is for an initial 3-year term, renewable for two additional 2-year terms, which gives the Canadian company control of Djimbala until May 2026.
At present, the Delta, British Columbia-based miner is working on assaying 2,150 soil samples that its field team collected over the north-western portion of the property. "This work, in conjunction with follow-up field evaluation and property-scale mapping and soil sampling over the remaining portion of the permit, is expected to lead to the development of a significant number of drill targets on the property which has seen no reported drilling to date," the media statement reads.
Djimbala is a 100-square-kilometre land pack located in Mali's Yanfolila gold belt. The project is close to several large operating mines and gold deposits including Hummingbird's 2.2-million ounces Komana East and West deposits, Wassoul Or's Kodieran mine and Endeavour's 3.25-million ounces Kalana deposit.

Shareholders of both precious metals miner Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE:SGL) (NYSE:SBGL) and struggling rival Lonmin (LON:LMI) approved Tuesday the planned merger of the companies, effectively creating the world's second-largest platinum producer.
Sibanye-Stillwater said that 87% of its shareholders backed the all-share offer, which it revised down in April, valuing the smaller miner at 226 million pounds ($286 million), 60 million pounds less than initially offered.
Later in the day, the majority of Lonmin's shareholders rubber-stamped the deal.
South Africa's Competition Appeal Court had cleared the way for the business combination earlier this month, blocking Lonmin's main mining union's attempt to block the takeover or have re-examined. The Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union's (AMCU) move was an effort to avoid some of inevitable layoffs, originally estimated at 3,000, that will take place after the merger.
The takeover is seen as a rescue deal for Lonmin, severely hit by weak platinum prices during the 2016-2017 downturn, costs related to the strengthening rand, a large labour force and expensive deep-level mines.
For Sibanye, is just one more of many deals struck by chief executive officer, Neal Froneman, who has transformed the gold miner by expanding its operations into the platinum-group metals sector.

Barrick Gold's (TSX:ABX)(NYSE:GOLD) chief executive, Mark Bristow, said the company's bid for its 64%-owned Acacia Mining (LON:ACA) is an "appropriate" and "elegant" solution to the long-running row over outstanding tax claims that has hit the African miner's bottom-line.
The $285-million offer, considered by some analysts and Acacia's minority shareholders as a low, would see the world's second largest gold miner buying the remaining 35% of Acacia it does not already own, at a discount.
"We're not trying to exploit any particular situation," Bristow told Bloomberg. "At the end of the day we do believe it's a well-considered, fair and proper proposal that should be taken seriously."
"We're not trying to exploit any particular situation," CEO Mark Bristow said referring to Barrick's $285-million offer for Acacia Mining.
The proposed takeover, said Barrick last week, was made after realizing that the government of Tanzania was not prepared to deal directly with Acacia to settle their differences.
Acacia, the African country's No.1 gold producer, has been embroiled in a battle with Tanzania since 2017, when the government banned exports of unprocessed metal and slapped it with a $190 billion tax bill— equal to almost two centuries worth of revenue.
The company was also forced to cut output by a third from two of its three mines in the country — Bulyanhulu and Buzwag.
A "tragedy"
Since then, the relationship between Barrick and Acacia has been strained and progress moving an agreement forward has been "almost impossible," Bristow acknowledged earlier this month.
"It's a tragedy," he said. "We're dealing with a complete breakdown of relationships."
For about two years, Barrick has been leading negotiations with President John Magufuli's administration, first under executive chairman John Thornton and, more recently, under Bristow.
The South African geologist, who spent decades finding and building his own mines in Africa, has been considered by many analysts as the only one who could effectively end the never-ending row.
Acacia has sought to resolve some of its issues with Tanzania through international arbitration.
A framework deal reached in February proposed that Acacia would pay $300 million to settle the tax claims and agree to split returns from operations with the country going forward. But Acacia has maintained its position that before approving any agreement its board should review it first.
"In our opinion, the bid value reflects the $300 million tax payment that has been negotiated between Barrick and the government of Tanzania, which becomes payable once a resolution is ratified," Jefferies' analysts wrote last week.
Acacia, which has said that much of the tax dispute stems from the period when the Canadian mining giant fully owned it, has sought to resolve some of its issues with Tanzania through international arbitration.
According to sources close to the matter, Barrick may choose to postpone any decisions on the proposed takeover until then.

Australia's Danakali's (ASX, LON:DNK) said Monday it was about to close debt financing agreements worth $200 million with two African financial institutions, which will allow it fund construction and growth of its flagship Colluli potash project in Eritrea.
The deals with African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and Africa Finance Corporation (AFC) could be finalized "any day" and are expected to accelerate equity financing, executive chairman Seamus Cornelius said at Dakali's Annual General Meeting.
Development of the 1.1 billion-tonnes potash project, a joint venture between the Australian miner and Eritrea's state mining company, is expected to take 2 and a half years.
UN study says the Colluli potash project has the potential to significantly boost Eritrea's economy and advance the country's sustainable development agenda.
In the initial phase of operation, Colluli would produce more than 472,000 tonnes a year of sulphate of potash (SOP), a premium grade of fertilizer. Annual output could rise to almost 944,000 tonnes if Danakali decides to go ahead with a second phase of development, as the project has a possible 200-year plus mine-life.
Game changer
A United Nations report published in January suggested that Colluli could boost the economy of Eritrea, a country that until last year was on the UN's sanctions list.
The independent study, commissioned and funded by the UN Development Program (UNDP), also said the project could "meaningfully" advance the north African nation's sustainable development agenda.
The future looks rosy. Danakali already has an offtake agreement with EuroChem, one of the world's top fertilizer companies, which has agreed to buy at least 87% of Colluli's output for 10 years.
The project location has its pros and cons. On one hand, being so close to the Red Sea coast by Eritrea's eastern border, makes it one of the world's most accessible potash deposits. As mineralization begins at 16 metres, it is also the world's shallowest. Additionally, its proximity to ports will provide easy access to Asian markets.
Colluli is also by the border with Ethiopia, with which Eritrea held one of Africa's deadliest border wars. In June 2018, the ruling coalition of Ethiopia (Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front), headed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, agreed to fully implement the peace treaty signed with Eritrea in 2000, with peace declared by both parties in July last year.

Mid-tier Canadian miner B2Gold (TSX:BTO)(NYSE: BTG) on Friday dismissed reports indicating it was mulling the acquisition of an idled gold mine in Zimbabwe, emphasizing it was not currently interested in any mergers or acquisitions.
Chief executive, Clive Johnson, reiterated B2Gold's long-term growth strategy by saying that in addition to developing its existing pipeline of projects, the company continued to seek global exploration opportunities.
"Spread the word – no M&A from us," Johnson told analysts on the miner's earnings call on May 8, when reported total gold of 230,859 ounces, about 6% above plan. "We're not going to pay for ounces," he added.
"Spread the word: no M&A from us." — Chief executive, Clive Johnson.
Bloomberg News reported on May 23 that the Vancouver-based wanted to add Metallon Corp.'s Shamva gold mine to its portfolio. The article added that B2Gold would bid if it were exempted from a law in Zimbabwe that requires producers to sell all the metal to the country's central bank.
The country's two main miners – Metallon and RioZim – are suing the central bank over its payment arrangements. Gold miners are required by law to sell their output to Fidelity Printers, an arm of the Reserve Bank, which then pays them back partly in dollars and partly in local quasi-currency that cannot be traded outside of Zimbabwe.
Mining is the biggest source of foreign exchange for Zimbabwe, which has the world's largest platinum reserves after South Africa. It also known for its diamonds, though alluvial deposits are almost depleted, and it's said to have eight out of nine "rare earth" minerals and a processing capacity for gold, diamond and chrome.

Zambia's Chamber of Mines delivered Thursdays further signs of a major global undersupply of copper about to hit the market by announcing that the country's output of the metal could be as much as 100,000 tonnes lower than last year.
The industry lobby group attributed the expected drop in production to changes to mining taxes introduced in January, which is driving companies to cut output.
"The new tax regime forced miners to do the unthinkable – cut production – because many cannot afford to continue producing as before," it said in a statement.
Zambia, Africa's second largest copper producer, churned out 861,946 tonnes of the metal last year. In the first three months of this year, the nation's copper output fell by 11.3% to 195,244 tonnes, compared to the previous quarter, the Bank of Zambia said earlier this week.
Copper output in Africa's second largest producer could decline by as much as 100,000 tonnes this year, adding to recent, sharp declines at the world's main producing nations.
The world's main copper producing nations have been showing output declines this year, according to the latest monthly bulletin from the International Copper Study Group (ICSG).
Global production declined 2.4% in February 2019, when compared to the same month last year, with 1,515kt (19,749ktpa) of contained copper produced globally.
Chile, the world's No.1 producer of the metal, led the pack with output down 7.1 % y/y to 415.9kt (5,412ktpa) while Peru, the second main global producer, saw its output fell by 5.1% y/y to 176.1kt (2,296ktpa).
Despite weaker copper production so far this year, ICSG data indicates a small surplus in February of 74kt with refined usage down 14% y/y, totalling 1,758kt (22,917ktpa).
Industry analysts at CRU believe that is undeniable that global demand for copper will soon surpass supply, the world may not need as many new mines as originally forecast.
Over the past year there has been board approval for several high-profile expansions and new projects that are due on-stream over the next five years.
CRU says the coming online of major projects, including Anglo American's Quellaveco (2022), Teck Resources' Quebrada Blanca expansion (2021) and First Quantum's Cobre Panama (already in production) should momentarily eliminate the gap between supply and demand.
The research group now expects 900,000 tonnes a year more mine copper supply by the early 2020s than at this time in 2018.
The EV effect
While the effect on copper demand from the electric vehicles (EVs) sector is expected to be important, the consensus is that it will not meaningfully impact on demand until the second half of the 2020s, CRU says.
The red metal is a key component in the lithium-ion batteries used in EVs, as well as power inverters and in the charging infrastructure needed to keep them running.
Data released by the International Copper Association (ICA), an industry-funded body, shows more than 40 million charging ports will be needed over the next decade, consuming an extra 100,000 tonnes of copper a year by 2027.
From those stations, at least 3 million will be built in China by 2030, according to the study.
Consumption from the car industry will also weigh on demand, but later. An average gasoline-powered car uses about 20 kg of copper, mainly as wiring. A hybrid needs about 40 kg and a fully electric car has roughly 80 kg of copper (176 pounds).
It means that, in the next decade, global copper demand will increase between 3 and 5 million tonnes, experts predict. Once electric vehicles become popular, they estimate demand to reach 11,000,000 tonnes of new copper for EV's alone.
Copper is also a key element in green technologies and renewables, which despite being adopted at a fast pace, they still represent only a minor percentage of the world's total energy production.

The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) released the Benchmarking 2018 Safety Data report on Wednesday, detailing the safety data of its company members.
The report, which collates the safety data of about a million workers and contractors, recorded 50 fatalities in 2018. This was a decrease from 51 fatalities in 2017 and 63 fatalities in 2016.
This benchmarking report includes data from 2018 and does not include fatalities from the Brumadinho tragedy that occurred in January 2019.
11 of ICMM's 27 company members reported no fatalities in 2018 compared to eight in 2017
Eleven of ICMM's 27 company members reported no fatalities in 2018 compared to eight in 2017. Miners reporting no fatalities were: Africa Rainbow Minerals, Barrick, Freeport McMoRan, Goldcorp, JX Nippon, Minera San Cristóbal, Minsur, Mitsubishi Materials, Newcrest, Orano, and Sumitomo.
The number of hours worked across ICMM's members increased by 16% due to data included from new company members: Minera San Cristóbal, Minsur, Newcrest and Vale. While total fatalities dropped by 2%, the fatality frequency rate dropped 19% from 0.027 to 0.022 fatalities per million hours worked.
There was also a drop in the injury rate from 3.94 in 2017 to 3.41, despite an increase in the number of recordable injuries from 7,515 to 7,751.
The highest number of fatalities (14) occurred in South Africa, where 400 million hours were worked
The report findings include:
- One fewer fatality recorded in 2018 compared to 2017
- Nine fatalities (18%) were caused by fall of ground in underground mines, 8 fewer than the 17 in 2017
- Fifteen fatalities (30%) were caused by transportation/mobile equipment, 4 higher than the 11 fatalities recorded in 2017
- In the 6 years of safety data published by ICMM, fatalities have dropped from 90 in 2012 to 50 in 2018 and in this time, the fatality frequency rate has dropped by 33% to 0.022 deaths per million hours worked.Since 2012, total recordable injuries have dropped from 13,895 to 7,751 and the total recordable injury frequency rate has dropped by 33%.
The report also examines incidents by country. The highest number of fatalities (14) occurred in South Africa, where 400 million hours were worked. There were six fatalities in Chile and Ghana where respectively 281 million and 51 million hours were worked.
"Our annual safety data tragically records that 50 people lost their lives at work in 2018. ICMM and our company members are determined to eliminate fatalities from their operations. The single highest cause of deaths in 2018 was from mobile mining equipment which is why we are exploring collision avoidance technology in our Innovation for Cleaner, Safer Vehicles program," Tom Butler, ICMM's CEO said in a media release.

Barrick Gold's subsidiary Acacia Mining (LON:ACA) condemned its parent company on Wednesday for keeping it out of the discussions with the government of Tanzania about a long-running row over outstanding tax claims.
The African miner's comments come on the heels of the Canadian gold giant's bid to take full control of the company, which is Tanzania's No. 1 gold miner.
Toronto-based Barrick has proposed to buy the remaining 35% of Acacia it does not already own through an all-stock offer pitched at a discount, arguing that the plan offers a route to end Acacia's crippling dispute with Tanzania's government.
Barrick said it made the $285m-takeover bid because it was clear the government of Tanzania was not prepared to deal directly with Acacia and settle their long-running tax row.
The $285 million proposal made to Acacia's board and management will offer 0.153 of Barrick shares for each of Acacia's and implies a valuation of $787 million for the whole unit.
"Since the proposal is in Barrick shares, the Acacia minority shareholders will be able to benefit from any future potential upside in both the Acacia assets and Barrick's broader portfolio of assets," Barrick said in the statement.
The offer, it noted, was made after realizing that the government of Tanzania was not prepared to deal directly with Acacia to settle their differences.
"As a consequence of the negotiations with the government of Tanzania, Barrick has had the opportunity to undertake detailed due diligence on the Acacia assets and on the basis of this work has concluded that the proposal on the terms set out above reflects the fair value of the company," it said.
Faith in Bristow
For about two years, Barrick has been leading negotiations with President John Magufuli's administration, first under executive chairman John Thornton and, more recently, under chief executive Mark Bristow.
The South African geologist, who spent decades finding and building his own mines in Africa, has been considered by many analysts as the only one who could effectively end the row over unpaid taxes claims.
Barrick has until June 18 to decide if it will follow through with a firm offer.
A framework deal reached in February proposed that Acacia would pay $300 million to settle the tax claims and agree to split returns from operations with the country going forward. But Acacia has maintained its position that before approving any agreement its board should review it first.
"In our opinion, the bid value reflects the $300m tax payment that has been negotiated between Barrick and the government of Tanzania, which becomes payable once a resolution is ratified," Jefferies' analysts wrote in a note on Wednesday.
"Acacia notes that it continues to be excluded from the discussions between Barrick and the government of Tanzania," it said. "In the meantime, Acacia shareholders are strongly advised to take no further action."
The company, which owns and operates Tanzania's three major mines — Bulyanhulu, Buzwagi and North Mara, also said it would seek to clarify the position of Tanzania's government.
Barrick has until June 18 to decide if it will follow through with a firm offer.

Purpose: :
To investigate distribution of Kir2.1 and Kir4.1 inwardly rectifying potassium channels in primate retina.
Methods: :
Posterior segments from monkey eyes were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate buffer. Retina samples were taken along the horizontal meridian of each eye. The sections were exposed to polyclonal antibody to Kir2.1 or Kir4.1 and monoclonal antibody to glutamine synthetase (GS), a marker for Müller cells. Antibody binding in retina was visualized with a Cy3 conjugated secondary antibody. Images of immunolabeled retina were captured by confocal microscopy and converted to 3D-projections using Image J software.
Results: :
Kir4.1 was broadly expressed in Müller cells, in the somas in the inner nuclear layer (INL), processes and trunks in the inner plexiform layer, end-feet, and surrounding blood vessels. Kir2.1was predominately localized to bipolar cell dendrites, somas, axons and terminals. In several samples, Kir2.1 was detected in some neurons in the ganglion cell layer and neurons other than bipolar cells in the INL. GS co-localized with Kir4.1, but not with Kir2.1.
Conclusions: :
The distribution of Kir4.1 channels in monkey retina is consistent with reports for mouse and rat, thus indicating similar distributions across mammalian species. Kir2.1 distribution in monkey retina is similar to that reported for rat, except for prominent labeling of bipolar cell dendrites in monkey. Müller cells are reported to express Kir2.1 in mouse, but the lack of co-localization between GS and Kir2.1 indicates that these cells may not express Kir2.1 in monkey. Kir2.1 and Kir4.1 contribute to the generation of scotopic and photopic negative responses in the rat ERG. Since their distribution is similar in monkey, investigating alterations in their expression in glaucoma monkey retinas may provide insight into the changes in these negative ERG responses observed in monkeys with experimental glaucoma.

Michael D. BRADFORD, Claimant-Respondent, v. STATE of New York, Defendant-Appellant. (Claim No. 107144.) (Appeal No. 2.)
In appeal No. 1, defendant, State of New York, appeals from an order that granted those parts of the motions of Michael D. Bradford, Garrett and Renee Fitzgerald, Frederick T. and Emma M. McNeil, and Deborah L. Couchman, individually and as the administratrix of the estate of Scott Couchman (claimants), seeking partial summary judgment on the issue of liability with respect to their Labor Law § 240(1) claims and denied those parts of defendant's cross motions seeking summary judgment dismissing those claims. The order further denied those parts of claimants' motions seeking partial summary judgment on claimants' Labor Law § 241(6) claims and those parts of defendant's cross motions seeking summary judgment dismissing those claims, and denied those parts of claimants' motions seeking partial summary judgment on claimants' section 200 claims, as moot. Claimants McNeil and claimant Couchman cross-appeal from the order.
In appeal No. 2 through appeal No. 5, defendant appeals from an interlocutory judgment with respect to each claimant ordering that a trial on the issue of damages be scheduled. We dismiss the appeals from the order as subsumed in the interlocutory judgments (see Hughes v. Nussbaumer, Clarke & Velzy, 140 A.D.2d 988, 529 N.Y.S.2d 658; Chase Manhattan Bank v. Roberts & Roberts, 63 A.D.2d 566, 567, 404 N.Y.S.2d 608; see also CPLR 5501[a][1] ), and in the exercise of our discretion we treat each notice of cross appeal as one taken from the interlocutory judgment in that action (see Hughes, 140 A.D.2d 988, 529 N.Y.S.2d 658; see also CPLR 5520[c] ).
In October of 2002, construction of the Utica-Rome Expressway was taking place in Oneida County, and, as a part of that project, a pedestrian bridge was being constructed. Defendant owned and managed the construction site, and hired Tioga Construction Company (Tioga) to construct the pedestrian bridge. The pedestrian bridge had a span of 170 feet and was being erected more than 20 feet above the road surface. Claimant Couchman's decedent, Scott Couchman, and claimants Garrett Fitzgerald, Michael Bradford and Frederick McNeil were employees of Tioga and were working on the pedestrian bridge when the bridge collapsed. As a result of the collapse, Scott Couchman was killed and Messrs. Fitzgerald, Bradford and McNeil were injured.
Contrary to defendant's contention, the Court of Claims properly granted those parts of claimants' motions seeking partial summary judgment on liability with respect to claimants' Labor Law § 240(1) claims, and properly denied those parts of defendant's cross motions that sought summary judgment dismissing those claims. A claimant is entitled to partial summary judgment on the issue of liability under Labor Law § 240(1) where, as here, it is undisputed that the claimant fell from an elevated work site while engaged in the erection of a structure (see generally Melber v. 6333 Main St., 91 N.Y.2d 759, 762-763, 676 N.Y.S.2d 104, 698 N.E.2d 933). The collapse of a work site itself "constitute[s] a prima facie violation of Labor Law § 240(1)" (Richardson v. Matarese, 206 A.D.2d 353, 353, 614 N.Y.S.2d 424). Moreover, there is "no merit to [defendant's] contentions that Labor Law § 240(1) is not implicated because [claimants] were injured as a result of the collapse of a permanent, rather than a temporary structure (see, Frierson v. Concourse Plaza Assocs., 189 A.D.2d 609 [592 N.Y.S.2d 309]; Collins v. County of Monroe Indus. Dev. Agency [COMIDA], 167 A.D.2d 914 [561 N.Y.S.2d 995, lv. dismissed 77 N.Y.2d 874, 568 N.Y.S.2d 915, 571 N.E.2d 85]; Kennedy v. McKay, 86 A.D.2d 597 [446 N.Y.S.2d 124] ), or as the result of the collapse of the work site itself, rather than a safety device enumerated in Labor Law § 240(1) (see, Hagins v. State of New York, 81 N.Y.2d 921 [597 N.Y.S.2d 651, 613 N.E.2d 557]; Kennedy v. McKay, supra, at 597 [446 N.Y.S.2d 124] )" (id. at 353-354, 614 N.Y.S.2d 424).
There is no dispute that the collapse of the partially-completed bridge was a proximate cause of claimants' injuries. Where injury is caused through a violation of section 240(1), liability is mandated by the statute. "If proximate cause is established, the responsible parties have failed, as a matter of law, to 'give proper protection' " (Zimmer v. Chemung County Performing Arts, 65 N.Y.2d 513, 524, 493 N.Y.S.2d 102, 482 N.E.2d 898, rearg. denied 65 N.Y.2d 1054, 494 N.Y.S.2d 1033, 484 N.E.2d 1055). Defendant failed to raise an issue of fact with respect to proximate cause in opposing claimants' motions, and failed to establish its entitlement to judgment on its own cross motions. The court therefore properly granted claimants' motions and denied defendant's cross motions with respect to the Labor Law § 240(1) claims.
We further conclude that the parties failed to establish their entitlement to judgment as a matter of law on either the Labor Law § 241(6) or the Labor Law § 200 claims.
It is hereby ORDERED that the judgment so appealed from be and the same hereby is unanimously affirmed without costs.

A FTSE 100 dividend stock that, like gold, I think should thrive as equity markets plunge
In periods of extreme market volatility such as these, it's good to have a portion of your investment portfolio dedicated to safe-haven assets. Both the dollar and precious metals, for example, have spiked in recent sessions as the sell-off in global stock markets has revved up again.
Let's take a look at gold. After starting October below the $1,200 per ounce milestone it's gained almost 50 bucks and, as I wrote this was dealing just short of $1,235. Silver has enjoyed something of a renaissance as well, the metal advancing 20 cents since the beginning of the month to around $14.75 per ounce.
The rapid deterioration in risk appetite has seen investors of all shapes and sizes pile into the precious metals complex with gusto. Indeed, physical gold and silver trader The Pure Gold Company announced today that sales of its bars and coins have exploded 347% in October, and that three-quarters of its buyers have never bought into bullion before.
Room for more gains?
Not everyone believes that conditions remain supportive enough for gold to continue its recent northwards charge however.
UBS, for example, commented earlier this week that "we expect further US dollar strength combined with a stabilisation and a rebound in US equities. Recent hawkish statements by the US Federal Reserve suggest a December rate hike is still in the cards." And the broker believes that "these dynamics will make it tough for gold to hold on to recent gains in the short run."
UBS did add that "for prices to rise further, risk sentiment needs to deteriorate further." It is fair to say — at least in my opinion — that a further plunge in investor sentiment has already started, with recent stock market corrections worsening across the globe.
There's plenty of reason to expect market confidence to keep tumbling. As The Pure Gold Company noted of its more recent customers: "Some of them mention the 2008 crash as a sobering comparison to what they fear might happen in the future – counter-party risk and institutional collapse influenced by Brexit uncertainty, trade wars and protracted geopolitical concerns." In this macroeconomic and geopolitical climate there is clearly much more room for gold to charge in the near term and beyond.
A FTSE 100 dividend dynamo
Buying into precious metals directly isn't the best way for cautious investors to get exposure to the safe-haven assets, however. Indeed, I'd be much happier to buy into Randgold Resources (LSE: RRS), a share whose price has boomed almost 20% since the turn of October.
I recently lauded the brilliant profits opportunities afforded by its mega-merger with Barrick Gold, but I've long been a fan of FTSE 100 company owing to the stable outlook for gold prices and the steps it is taking to turbocharge production from its African assets. Its inflation-busting dividend yields of 3.1% and 4.2% for 2018 and 2019 respectively also make it a preferable purchase to non-yielding bars of gold, in my opinion.
Don't get me wrong, I still believe that stock investing is the best way for long-term savers to put their money to work despite the current turbulence. But there remains plenty of scope for gold, and with it the likes of Randgold, to thrive now and in the years ahead.
