The Worlds Most Expensive Shirt By Eton
2008-05-25 09:56:00 The Worlds Most Expensive Shirt By EtonUpon celebrating their 80th anniversary of shirt making, Eton also made a shirt that cost £23,000. And yes it?s too expensive like the price of buying a used Porsche. Apart from the extra ordinary price, it?s also ultra special by Eton standards. It?s said to be made of the finest Egyptian cotton yarn. The studs and cufflinks are diamond encrusted, the studs have coloured diamonds and the cufflinks have the plain old normal diamonds. The fancy shirt is touring the world passing through some of Eton?s stores including Milan, LA and Stockholm and will be auctioned off for charity next year.via
‘Blood Diamonds’ ‘Blood Oil’ and ‘Blood Food’
2008-04-30 05:35:00 by Pablo Ouziel For a while now, I have been thinking about what George W. Bush signifies from a socio-political perspective. Looking at the world from the time of the ‘Big Bang’ of September 11th, 2001, until today almost seven years later, one can clearly observe how monstrous our human interaction has become. After much reading and analysis, I now understand that September 11th was not the starting point of a new world order, but to the contrary, it was purely the end of a specific human state of affairs. When one grows up in the west, our history books tell us stories about past events in our world. As we grow up, those same stories shape the way in which we look at the world around us. Once this history is indoctrinated into our minds, it frames the scope of our objective judgment. This in turn, leads to a very narrow analysis of our current reality. As westerners we have the tendency to feel superior to the rest of the human species. Somehow, we have come t...
Blood Diamonds
2008-01-28 17:31:00 I had the opportunity to watch Blood Diamonds on one of the Cable Movie channels this weekend and found it to be well researched and factual representation of the situations that surround the Conflict Diamond trade in Africa. Leonardo Dicaprio’s role as Danny Archer, a Diamond Mercenary and former SA Soldier and veteran of the war in Angola was well researched and polished with Dutch, Mende and Afrikaans. In his role as a Mercenary now operating just under the radar of the local African authorities, while smuggling conflict diamonds out of Sierra Leone and into neighboring countries, was an outstanding interpretation of the Diamond Mercenaries that enabled De Beers to destroy the lives of tribal’s as well as the economies of the Diamond Rich countries in Africa. Back in the day I had the opportunity to work closely with these Mercenaries during the Rhodesia to Zimbabwe Colonial hand-over. Many former Rhodesian Soldiers became Mercenaries and used their sk...
Heat Exchangers Coated with Diamonds
2007-11-08 19:58:00 A typically Double Pipe Heat Exchangernot coated yet with diamond. Do you know that diamonds can be used in heat exchangers? Recent developments have made it fairly easy to apply a microscopic layer of diamond-structured carbon to a wide variety of materials. The process is done in a vacuum, with a carbon-rich gas, and the layer is "grown". Because diamond is the hardest so-far-known ordinary material, drill bits and other cutting tools have been the first things to receive the diamond-coating treatment. Well, did you know that also because diamond is the hardest substance, it is best solid heat conducting substance? The reason why is because heat-vibrations are "seen" by diamond just the same as sound-wave vibrations. So heat at Point A literally gets conducted to Point B at the speed of sound inside diamond (thousands of meters per second). Diamond has a speed of sound of approx 17,500m/s.viaSilver, Gold and Diamond Bracelets

Blood Diamonds are still a reality
2007-09-10 21:34:00 Conflict or blood diamonds fuel conflict, civil wars and human rights abuses. They have been responsible for funding recent conflicts in Africa which resulted in the death and displacement of millions of people. During these conflicts, profits from the illegal trade in diamonds, worth billions of dollars, were used by warlords and rebels to buy arms.An estimated 3.7 million people have died in Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Liberia, and Sierra Leone in conflicts fuelled by diamonds.While the wars in Angola and Sierra Leone are now over and fighting in the DRC has decreased, the problem of conflict diamonds hasn't gone away.Despite the fact that an international diamond certification scheme called the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme was launched in 2003, conflict diamonds from Côte d'Ivoire are finding their way through Ghana into the legitimate diamond market. As the brutal conflict in Sierra Leone has shown, even a small amount of conflict diamonds can wre...
