Gold Vending Machine
TG-Gold-Super-Markt, based near Stuttgart, is planning to install gold vending machines at 500 locations including train stations and airports in Germany. Brilliant idea, really. I think it's a great gift for everyone.

The idea of conscionable mining is something that reaches across sectors. We are going to add value to the Yogo sapphire by demonstrating that it's socially responsible and environmentally ethical in the way we mine and cut and distribute and sell the Yogo sapphire.

Random Thoughts
Oh! where are the riches that bubbled like fountains,
In places we neither could utter nor spell,
A thousand miles inland 'mid untrodden mountains,
Where silver and gold grew like heath and blue-bell?
Now curst be the projects, and curst the projectors,
And curst be the bubbles before us that rolled,
Which, bursting, have left us like desolate spectres,
Bewailing our bodies of paper and gold.
