It seems truly difficult to describe a dream vividly in a poem or a novel when we dream while sleeping, which is because a dream has its own reality. Therefore, without either of the shortness, ambiguity, irrationality, or subjective unique authenticity of a dream, the naturality of the dream would be lost.
Once a light snow began to fall, the heavy snow cloud kept on lying low over the streets of Kyoto for days, blocking the city gloomy. The light snow, which was falling on and off sporadically, turned sleet or rain. When the rain seemed to stop, the sky cleared up in a short time, carrying a freezing fine day. Thus Kyoto would usually suffer such cold weather day after day.
The geopolitical risk (GPR) index spiked around the Gulf War, after 9/11, during the 2003 Iraq invasion, during the 2014 Russia-Ukraine crisis, and after the Paris terrorist attacks. High geopolitical risk leads to a decline in real activity, lower stock returns, and movements in capital flows away from emerging economies and towards advanced economies. When we decompose the index into threats and acts components, the adverse effects of geopolitical risk are mostly driven by the threat of adverse geopolitical events. Extending our index back to 1900, geopolitical risk rose dramatically during the World War I and World War II, was elevated in the early 1980s, and has drifted upward since the beginning of the 21st century.
