Dedicated To Women Chapter V
Den Frauen Gewidmet Kapitel V
Dedicato Alle Donne Capitolo V
 "With cities across the globe growing rapidly, the future looks set to be urban with an estimated 66 percent of the population to be living in urban areas by 2050 up from 54 percent today. The number of megacities housing over 10 million people has tripled since 1990 to 31 with the United Nations forecasting this will rise to 41 by 2030. While cities can drive development and reduce poverty, rapid urban growth can also create a new set of problems if the right infrastructure is not in place or policies don’t ensure the benefits of city life are equally shared.
In the first poll of its kind, the Thomson Reuters Foundation asked experts in women’s issues which of the world’s megacities are safe for women – and which need to do more to ensure women are not at risk of sexual violence and harassment and harmful cultural practices and have access to healthcare, finance and education." ***The world's most dangerous megacities for women***

"Know your subject, people" (Remember Luke, 14-10) -The sales tax applies to chocolate-covered cakes or chocolate-covered biscuits? -I don't know. -You don't know? -All right everybody, listen up I'm gonna tell you a story.. Failure to do so may result in the loss of a golden opportunity (You might watch the whole movie)
The Importance of Manners
1. Only edible items on the table (no phone, keys, purse…)
2. What touches the mouth does not touch the table
3. Once utensils are picked up they never return on the table (but only on a plate)

Politics and Manners
He who says, “That does not interest me,” or “That bores me,” defines his own limitations. He who is unable to project sympathy into other problems or classes than his own is an unimportant person though he have the birth of a Cecil and the manners of a Chesterfield. -Emily Post (1873–1960). Etiquette. 1922.

"...Precious metal investors have had to be patient for quite a few years since the 2011 top. For the people who hold physical gold and silver for wealth preservation purposes, the price is less relevant.
But as the commodity chart above warns us, the metals are now on the verge of a major breakout that will not only take gold above the $1,920 high and silver above $50 but to levels that will reflect the real inflation adjusted values of the metals which is certainly at least $10,000 for gold and $650 for silver. With real hyperinflation we will have to add a few zeroes.
But we must remember that physical gold and silver are not held as investments but as the only money which has survived in history. We are now on the eve of an economic crisis of unfathomable proportions due to an insoluble debt problem. Holding precious metals will be invaluable insurance to survive this crisis financially." -Egon von Greyerz

Manners are about consideration for others and that should never go out of fashion.

The Grand Final: The End of Easy Money October is the month most closely associated with markets going bump in the night – 1907, 1929, 1987, 1997, 2007, 2008. Of all the October surprises, the 1929 crash had the most lasting consequences. Stocks declined 50% in the two months of September and October, 1929. (See chart below.) Before it was all over in 1932, stocks dropped a breathtaking 90% and did not return the old high of roughly 380 until the mid-1950s – one-quarter century later. Imagine having a million dollars in stocks at the end of the summer 1929 only to watch your portfolio drop steadily until it was worth $100,000 by 1932. “This bull market has echoes of the late 1920s," Nobel laureate Robert Shiller recently told CNBC. "The 1920s is quite a legend that people are often thinking about. I look at 1929 particularly as the end of the roaring ’20s and it ended in a bout of speculation. Between May and September of ’29 the stock market went up over 30 percent in just a few months." 
“In Gold we Trust 2018“
Kings, govts, dictators, financiers, mathematicians and many other powers have tried to dethrone gold for thousands of years. They all lost. The 2007-9 crisis was never solved but only deferred to a later date. All the problems that caused that crisis are still there.
Gold isn't debt, equity or any other financial promise. It doesn't rely on anyone else's survival to exist.

“Always dress like you’re going to see your worst enemy.” – Kimora Lee 
“You can never take too much care over the choice of your shoes. Too many women think that they are unimportant, but the real proof of an elegant woman is what is on her feet.” – Christian Dior “Fashion changes, but style endures.” – Coco Chanel “In a machine age, dressmaking is one of the last refuges of the human, the personal, the inimitable.” – Christian Dior "Style; all who have it have one thing: originality.” – Diana Vreeland “Clothes have nothing until someone lives in them.” – Marc Jacobs “I don’t believe in fashion. I believe in costume. Life is too short to be the same person every day.” – Stephanie Perkins “Style is very personal. It has nothing to do with fashion. Fashion is over quickly. Style is forever.” – Ralph Lauren “Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” – Gianni Versace “We must never confuse elegance with snobbery.” – Yves Saint Laurent

Elegance is refusal. In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different. -Coco Chanel In character, in manner, in style, in all the things, the supreme excellence is simplicity. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Habits of Most Polite People 
“But there’s fashion and there’s style; they’re not the same thing. Fashion is temporary and changes. Style is permanent and adapts. Gold may be traditional now, but it’s never out of style. And it may soon become fashionable again." -Alessandro Bruno The allusion to fashion reminds us of the old maxim that an ounce of gold from time immemorial would always buy a quality man’s suit. “The price of a fine suit of men’s clothes,” says the U.S. Geological Survey, “can be used to show anyone who is not familiar with the price history of gold just how very cheap gold is today. With an ounce of gold, a man could buy a fine suit of clothes in the time of Shakespeare, in that of Beethoven and Jefferson, and in the depression of the 1930s.” At present, a quality men’s off-the-rack suit at Brooks Brothers without the shoes and tie ranges in price from $1700 to $2500. |

I think I had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to sound like a dry martini. I have won several prizes as the world’s slowest alto player, as well as a special award in 1961 for quietness.
I tried practicing for a few weeks and ended up playing too fast. I was unfashionable before anyone knew who I was.  More Paul Desmond Quotes here
 Paul Desmond (November 25, 1924, May 30, 1977) born Paul Emil Breitenfeld, was a jazz alto saxophonist and composer born in San Francisco, best known for the work he did in the Dave Brubeck Quartet and for penning that group’s greatest hit, “Take Five”. He was not only one of the most popular musicians to come out of the West Coast’s “cool jazz” scene, but also the possessor of a legendary and idiosyncratic wit.

***Jewelry Worth Its Grams in Gold
Menē jewelry is sold by the gold and platinum weight value plus a transparent design and manufacturing premium. This premium is never more than 20% of the precious metal value each day. The result: a $1,000 Menē ring will have at least $800 in gold or platinum value at the time of purchase while $200 is the revenue earned by Menē.

In a world drowning in debt, you don't want to be a creditor. Physical Gold and Physical Silver are your assets. E.
"...There is something elegant about the principle of a gold-standard, where a country’s purchasing power is related to its performance, where countries that generate wealth will have a stronger exchange rate in terms of gold and therefore more purchasing power, where one country with an exorbitant privilege can’t abuse the system by endlessly borrowing in a fiat currency backed by military might.
A currency backed by gold is ring-fenced from the abuse of one particular monetary authority or government, since the gold that is backing it has no counterparty risk..." -Ronan Manly here

Don’t be limited by these popular unskillful choices. By taking a fearless inventory of behaviors that we engage in that damage our relationship and make a commitment to change, we are well on our way to creating a delightful partnership. This is the way we “clean up our act”. When we do an honest assessment of the small, petty, manipulative behaviors that we indulge in, and begin to tell the truth about them, we get the big chance to change.
Poor choices give way to effective ones. It is a major turning point to move out of the disempowered victim position to a position of sharing power with our partner. The relationship that had been characterized by fear driven habituated patterns (that may have been in the family for generations) can come to a close. Over time, in their place, healthy, wholesome patterns of relating emerge that are characterized by the purest form of love. 90 Ways People Trash Their Relationship -Bloomwork
