Weird eBooks on Pet Jewellery – Diamonds and Dogs
Go fetch, doggy
One of the most loyal pets anyone can have is a dog. Sure they bark a lot and can be difficult to clean but it does not matter. The benefits far outweigh the costs. They are one of the most playful animals on earth. They will:
- bark
- howl
- roll-over
- play dead
- sit
- run
- walk
- fetch the paper
There are a multitude of things that a dog will do. The cutest and most endearing one would probably be when you ask it to fetch a ball after throwing it a good distance. The dog will do it over and over and over again just to please their master.
They do not do it for a tasty treat though, it can be a large part of the reason. They do it however to make their master smile and to be pat on the back while their fur is being rubbed. They are such endearing creatures that would make anyone smile.
Security is guaranteed
Dogs are inclined to protect their handler. They have a keen sense of smell and can somehow sniff out when something is not right. Their bark can sometimes be worse than its bite because they could ward off potential malefactors just with the terrible sound of their howl alone. There are instances however, where an encounter takes place between the dog and a potential assailant. It does not matter for they can instantly pounce on them at a moment's notice.
They do not really think of their own safety. It is the safety of their master that is important to them.
Just reward, you can even use diamonds and gemstones to reward your pet
How can a dog owner reward such a dutiful pet? There is your standard bone or chew toy but one can go overboard and get a diamond dog collar for such an awesome pet. Why not? They deserve it anyway. These dogs risk life and limb for their masters. A diamond dog collar would certainly add some luster to their canine teeth. It will not make the dog smarter, stronger or faster but it will certainly make him look better. They just give your special pet that extra special sparkle. One would surely be happy just seeing their dog prance around with such a collar.
Availability and safety
An owner must be sure that they purchase their diamond dog collar from an authorized seller. There may be some instances where all the diamonds are not real. It never hurt anyone to inquire first about the product as well as the dealer in order to know if one is buying from a reputable source. These collars do not come cheap. Care has to be taken when buying them. There is also that question of safety. Where to store them is just as important as where to buy them. One cannot allow this to be kept in the doghouse. It must be brought in along with the dog. The owner will be safe in knowing that both his dog and his investment is safe and sound.

Indium Supply
The Indium Corporation is confident of the sustained indium metal supply.
There has been concern expressed that the world may face an indium shortage given the rising price environment experienced this year. The Indium Corporation believes that the temporary imbalance between supply and demand will be corrected and that sufficient indium is available to meet forecasted demand.
In 1934 the Indium Corporation began extracting, refining, purifying and fabricating indium. Seventy years later indium is still "Our Product, Our Symbol, Our Name." Over the years we have significantly increased our refining and recycling capacity which has ultimately increased the global supply.
Short-term shortages have periodically occurred because global production and usage are so finely balanced. However, these shortages have historically been corrected by increasing refining capacity and, ultimately, supply.
The documents below contain data from the U.S. Geological Survey. The data shows that indium is available. Indium exists in the earth's crust in quantities approximately three times that of silver (which is currently extracted at 60x the rate of indium). While extraction efficiency is greater for silver, the relative abundance and current extraction rates of indium versus silver are still a telling story.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey statistics, the worldwide output of indium metal has increased 7X since 1980. We believe that this trend will continue and supply will expand to meet demand.
The indium supply has been bolstered by continued improvement in recycling programs. In the rapidly growing LCD market, greater than 85% of non-deposited indium is reclaimed and returned to the supply chain.
We believe the currently-observed price fluctuations are primarily due to a time lag between emerging demand and available supply. As has been observed in previous cycles, the Indium Corporation believes higher prices will draw forward additional supplies which will alleviate any scarcity.
Indium metal's unique properties make it a critical component for many products, and the Indium Corporation is committed to, and confident of, meeting the indium needs of its partners.
If you have questions about the indium supply or applications for indium metal, alloys or chemicals, please contact Claire Mikolajczak at +39 011-655331, firstname.lastname@example.com or Deborah Murphy at +1 315-853-4900, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- China's stocks fell, sending the benchmark index to its lowest level since July 2010, on concern government measures to tame inflation and a faltering global economy will hurt earnings growth.
China Vanke Co. and Poly Real Estate Group Co. led losses by developers amid speculation funding costs will rise at the same time as sales slow. Railcar makers CSR Corp. and China CNR Corp. sank after a train collision in Shanghai's metro injured 271 people. Stocks also fell on concern initial public offerings will sap demand for existing equities.
The Shanghai Composite Index dropped 22.99 points, or 1 percent, to 2,392.06 at the 3 p.m. close, erasing an earlier 0.6 percent gain. The CSI 300 Index declined 1 percent to 2,610.59. The country's markets will be shut all next week for holidays.
"The main focus for investors is how much China's economy will slow and how soon tight policies will be relaxed," said Wei Wei, an analyst at West China Securities Co. in Shanghai.
The Shanghai Composite has tumbled 15 percent this year, extending last year's 14 percent drop, as the government raised interest rates and reserve-requirement ratios for banks to cool inflation that's at the highest level in almost three years. The gauge has sunk 13 percent this quarter, set for the biggest loss since the three months to June last year.
The measure is valued at 11 times estimated profit, the lowest level on record, according to weekly data compiled by Bloomberg.
Global Reports
Commerce Department data today may show U.S. durable goods orders fell, after a report confirmed France's economy stalled last quarter and South Korea's central bank said sentiment among manufacturers held at a 21-month low.
An index tracking property stocks on the Shanghai Composite fell 1.2 percent to its lowest level since February 2009. Vanke, the nation's biggest listed property developer, dropped 1.3 percent to 7.08 yuan. Poly Real Estate, the second largest, slid 1.8 percent to 9 yuan. Gemdale Corp. retreated 2.6 percent to 4.92 yuan.
China's clampdown on property loans and concern that local authorities will struggle to pay their debts are driving up corporate borrowing costs by the most in four years relative to government bonds.
The difference between yields on 10-year notes issued by top-rated companies and government securities widened 46 basis points this quarter to 221 basis points. A gap of 224 on Sept. 26 was the biggest since at least March 2006, according to data from Chinabond, the nation's biggest debt clearing house.
Rail Crash
CSR, which has made subway trains for lines in Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangzhou, fell 1.7 percent to 4.64 yuan. China CNR Corp., the nation's second-biggest train maker, slid 1.7 percent to 4.70 yuan. China Railway Group Ltd., the nation's biggest construction company by total assets, lost 1 percent to 2.99 yuan.
Shanghai's subway crash happened while controllers were running operations using a manual system following an equipment failure, Shanghai Shentong Metro Co. said in a statement. The accident on line 10, which opened last year, occurred between Yuyuan station and Lao Ximen yesterday.
China slashed nationwide spending on railway construction by 50 percent last month as it slowed work after a high-speed train crash killed 40 people in July.
Share Sales
China's benchmark money-market rate rose to a three-week high as Sinohydro Group Ltd.'s initial share sale tied up funds.
Demand for cash also rose before the National Day holiday, which will shut financial markets for the whole of next week, and as banks prepare to meet quarter-end capital requirements. The People's Bank of China injected funds into the financial system for a 10th week in the period through Sept. 22.
Sinohydro plans to raise as much as 14.4 billion yuan ($2.3 billion) in a Shanghai initial public offering, China Securities Journal reported on Sept. 26. The securities regulator approved the listing of Zhejiang Aokang Shoes Co. on Sept. 23.
China Communications Construction Co., the nation's biggest port builder, received approval from China Securities Regulatory Commission for its initial public offering in Shanghai, 21st Century Business Herald reported. The Beijing-based company may raise as much as 20 billion yuan from the stock sales, it said in a Sept. 24 statement.
Citic Securities Co. fell 2.5 percent to 11.52 yuan. China's biggest publicly traded brokerage may raise about HK$13 billion ($1.7 billion) selling shares below the midpoint of a marketed price range in a Hong Kong stock sale, two people with knowledge of the matter said.
Underwriters for Shanghai-listed Citic Securities advised the company to sell shares at HK$13.30 apiece, said the people, who declined to be identified because no final decision on pricing has been made. The shares have been marketed to investors at HK$12.84 to HK$15.20.
UBS AG is "cautious" about China's stocks in the fourth quarter as economic and earnings growth slow, and the risk of a double-dip recession in the global economy rises, said Gao Ting, chief China strategist at UBS. China is also unlikely to relax monetary policies, the strategist said at a briefing in Shanghai yesterday.

To Website Fans, Browsers, ClientsFrom Jude WanniskiRe A Pull-Out More
support of the war in Iraq continues to shrink as the body count rises and the
light at the end of the tunnel gets dimmer. I decided to write about this for
my monthly column in Al Jazeera's English-language website, noting a debate is
shaping up with anti-war forces arguing there would be a more favorable outcome
with U.S. forces gone than with their continued presence. The debate should heat
up in the months to come, but no decision to leave on a fixed-timetable likely
until the end of the year.
out of Iraq by Jude WanniskiThursday 16 June 2005
opinion polls now indicate that a clear majority of the American people no longer
support the war in Iraq: 59% want to pull out immediately or on a definitive timetable,
and 56% believe the war is not worth it.
there any chance the Bush team will throw in the towel before the end of this
year and make a clear decision to pull the troops out?
year ago, early in the presidential race, my educated guess was that such a decision
would be made before the end of 2005, whether the president won re-election or
Senator John Kerry succeeded him in the White House.
"educated" part of my guess was that the driving force of the insurgency
in Iraq was not religious, but purely political. I assumed the Iraqi nationalists
would not relent until the occupying power was gone and with it the "government"
that the US was installing to serve its imperialist designs.
have reached a tipping point," Ronald Spector, a military historian at George
Washington University, told USA Today's Susan Page. "Even some of
those who thought it was a great idea to get rid of Saddam [Hussein] are saying,
'I want our troops home.'"
Walter Jones, a conservative Republican from North Carolina, who was among the
most enthusiastic supporters of the war, came out last week for withdrawal, citing
the casualty level, which over the weekend reached 1700 killed and 12,000 seriously
another poll, nearly 75% called the casualty numbers unacceptable, up from 28%
several months ago.
on either side of the issue express multiple reasons for arguing "exit now"
or "stay the course," but among serious analysts the question comes
down to what would happen once the US departed.
hawks, who may or may not acknowledge the war was a mistake to begin with, argue
that the Baghdad government now in place will not be able to prevent being overwhelmed
by the insurgency and a bloody civil war if the 140,000 US troops are not there
to maintain what security does exist.
doves, for the first time since the occupation began two years ago, are voicing
the idea that the US presence in and of itself is the chief reason for the insurgency.
argue that a fixed timetable for a complete withdrawal would change the behaviour
of the insurgents and lead to a more favourable outcome.
Senator George McGovern, who ran unsuccessfully for president in 1972 as the Democratic
nominee in opposition to the Vietnam war, last week proposed a solution tied to
the president's position that the US would only stay as long as it took to train
Iraqis to maintain order by themselves.
some logic, McGovern noted that the Pentagon now says some 40,000 Iraqis have
been fully trained, which suggests that many of the US troops can be brought home,
with others following as more Iraqis are trained.
such a policy were adopted and followed, the nationalist leaders of the insurgency
would be motivated to encourage their followers to help increase the number of
trained security forces instead of killing them.
is not likely the Bush administration would pick up on the idea, at least not
yet. It continues to believe it can pull the strings in the interim government
for the months that it will take for a new constitution to be written, one that
will satisfy the various religious blocs.
constitution is supposed to be ready by 15 August, but that now appears to be
an impossible deadline, with the Shia and Kurd blocs unable to find Sunni leaders
capable of concluding a deal.
is, there may be Sunni religious leaders willing to work on a constitution, but
the insurgents are nationalist and want the occupying forces out before there
is any talk of a new constitution and new elections.
a clear, fixed process to satisfy that demand, American military commanders in
the field are now surmising that it might take several years for an Iraqi regime
to evolve in a way that permits departure of all US troops.
the American electorate has now gone over the "tipping point" on its support
for the Iraq involvement, it must be clear to the foreign-policy establishment – political leaders of both parties – that time will run out on its patience long
before the president's lame-duck term ends in 2008.
that means is increased problems in meeting the manpower needs of the US Army
and Marine Corps.
men and women, who would normally volunteer to serve in the armed forces – given
the financial incentives being offered – are being discouraged by their families,
teachers, etc. In six months, there will be a recruitment crisis.
it appeared the war might have been undertaken without justification, a growing
number of Americans of the kind that supported previous wars on behalf of national
security are coming to see Iraq as a black hole.
are also opening up to the idea that perhaps George McGovern is right, and that
instead of a bloodbath and civil war following a US exit, the political class
in Iraq will find it relatively easy to work things out for themselves.
his public appearances over the weekend, McGovern pointed out that the bitter-enders
predicted a bloodbath in Vietnam 30 years ago should the US throw in the towel;
the political losers in South Vietnam rather quickly came to terms with Hanoi.
today, not only is Vietnam a peaceful country and increasingly a prosperous one,
it also has a diplomatic and trading relationship with the United States.
course, there may be some unexpected event or series of events that rescue the
president's objectives in Iraq between now and the end of 2005, but my educated
guess seems to be holding up so far and the known forces we see point to an exit
strategy, not one of staying the course.
