Hugo McCafferty is the Sports Editor with Swide magazine and has been with the company since 2011. He writes primarily about sport but will turn his hand to anything including history, motors and culture. After leaving college where he studied to be a graphic designer, Hugo worked in the newspaper business in his native Dublin as a sub-editor for the Sunday Tribune, Irish Daily Star and Daily Mail before leaving for Italy where he worked on business-to-business publications.

Rihanna Eyes Elvira Hancock Role in 'Scarface' Remake
Is Rihanna Sexting Robert Pattinson?!
Is Robert Pattinson officially single? No one's too sure yet. But after that trampire (media's name, not ours!) Kristen Stewart released a statement admitting to having an affair with her 'Snow White and the Huntsman' director Rupert Sanders, he may be well on his way to bachelordom. And from the looks of things, Rihanna plans on helping him out.
Rihanna's Tearful Oprah Interview [VIDEO]
Rihanna Oprah Special: RiRi Says She Still Loves Chris Brown, Stomach Drops When She Sees Him
Rihanna's one-on-one with talk show doyenne Oprah Winfrey for 'Oprah's Next Chapter' focused on her relationship with ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. Most of the preview clips focused on RiRi crying while recounting her love for him (as opposed to her memories of the beating he handed to her), which was a smart strategy to pull viewers in.
But the most striking thing about the chat was the vulnerability. Ri has put up a hard, super sexy, tough girl shell for much of the past few years, but Opes took a hammer and broke down those walls. For the first time in a long time, RiRi was real, not just this unattainable, ice cold pop star.
Rihanna Continues to Talk About Chris Brown but Breezy Wants Her to 'Move On'
In another preview clip from her 'Oprah's Next Chapter' interview, which airs Sunday night, Rihanna drives the talk show doyenne around her native Barbados while she talks about — you guessed it! — Chris Brown.
RiRi is still licking her wounds and clearly still carries a torch for Brown. She spoke about it in her Harper's Bazaar cover and multiple times in this interview, displaying raw emotion and vulnerability. Breezy, however, wants his ex to move on.

Rihanna sat down with Oprah for an upcoming "Next Chapter" episode and she opened up about the Chris Brown break up.
Rihanna Reveals Vulnerability in 'Oprah: The Next Chapter' Preview
"I came away getting a great sense of who she was."
Oprah admits that she had her own ideas about Rihanna before she chatted her up for her new show, 'Oprah: The Next Chapter.' "I went there with my own ideas about who she was from watching her videos and listening to her music," the talk show queen said. "I thought she was gonna be kind of a bada–, a kind of hard edged, rocker, pop woman." So was she right?
Rihanna Named a 'No Go' by Nivea
Rihanna is too sexy for her skincare contract. The singer has been a CoverGirl. She also hawks Vita Coco vitamin water. She is/was the face of legendary skincare brand Nivea, posing naked for the brand's 100-year anniversary while it sponsored her tour.
Since RiRi loves to show her skin, it made sense for her to partner with a skincare brand, right? Eh, not so fast, according to Stefan Heidenreich, the new CEO of Beiersdorf, the brand's parent company. He called her a "no go," criticizing her overly sexy image.

Overall a reliable comfortable suv
A driver's car
Pros: Handling
Cons: The radioThis car is a winner for me. It goes ike stink, handles well, has tremedoius brakes, with virtually no suspension pitch when braking hard or taking evasive action. The stearing is a little low geared, but there's plenty of feel for the road. I average about 22.5 mpg, good for a car the hits 60 mph in just over 6 secs. If that bothered me, I'd have gone for the 4 cylinder. The manual overide gearbox is a must for me, especially when negotoiating bends and snow. It works well, but is a little slow to react. The blind-spot warning system when pulling out to overake is brilliant. Minuses: The radio is appalling, there is no middle range. There are no fresh air vents for rear passengers,and it's claustophobic inside due to the shape. I gave quality 4/5 becasue in the 13 months and 11,000 miles I have it, the automatic windows don't work correctly when the temperature is hot, and the front bumper has become detached from the body, only about 1/8th of an inch, but that's not good enough. Otherwise, it's plusses all the way. I would buy another, it's heaps better to drive than the Camry, Accord and Altima, Don't waste your cash on a fancy German overpriced/overrated car, try this first, and give the difference in money to your local animal charity!
Cool-Comfortable-Fast if Necessary
Pros: Exterior Look
Cons: Gas MileageEven though gas mileage is bad I am satisfied with CX-7. Looks cool, runs well, comfortable and fast if necessary.
Pros: handling, fit and finish
Cons: the seat is not comfortable to meI sell BMW's and have driven them for many years. I have decided, because I am planning to retire soon, to buy a car and not lease anymore. I drove many cars, and found that the Mazda 3 is a wonderful car for the money. It does not feel like a cheap car, and handles as well as any BMW I have driven. It does not have the power of the 3 series BMW, but it does just fine on the roads. It corners and handles so well. And, the steering is so much easier than the BMW, that cannot turn a corner or make a u turn without two hands on the wheel. And, of course the gas mileage, using regular gas as opposed to high test for the BMW is so much better.
Best luxury S.U.V. for the money !
Pros: Nice quiet ride with the Bose stereo system ! 6 speed transmission with manual option .
Cons: Gets around 24 M.P.G. not bad for heavy rig .Great handling compared to Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander . Much quieter interior when on the road then the others for the same money . Great styling and seats fold down nice and flat. Great engineering on the third row seats and access is easy with the second row sliding forward feature .
Love this car!
Great car, drives great, looks great, however with moving and lifestyle change I need an SUV now.

TEARFUL EARFUL DEPT.: "Hunger Games" star LIAM HEMSWORTH just can't get his ex-fiancee MILEY CYRUS off his mind – and it's driving his brother CHRIS HEMSWORTH nuts.

International Ethics Standards for Business: NAFTA, CAUX Principles and Corporate Codes of Ethics
Carlson, Patricia, Blodgett, Mark S., Review of Business
Practical application of business ethics should be the focus of corporate ethics codes. Since many U.S. companies do business internationally and the number is growing every year, their ethics codes should address international ethics standards. A guide for such ethics is the Caux Roundtable Principles for Business, "the first international ethics code for business."
The goal of the Caux Roundtable Principles is to set "a world standard against which business behavior can be measured," a yardstick which individual companies can use to write their own codes.
Thirty-one codes of ethics are compared with the Caux International Ethics Code using content analysis techniques. Each of the codes of ethics is examined for representative words and phrases taken from the recommended Caux Ethics code. The data comparing corporate codes of ethics with the Caux International Ethics Code are presented in Exhibit 1.
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) provides guidance for the analysis of international trade issues, because it addresses new issues concerning employment, intellectual property and trade. While these provisions are included in NAFTA for their trade implications, they in [TABULAR DATA FOR EXHIBIT 1 OMITTED] effect encompass ethical concerns that belong in corporate codes of ethics. Extending the analysis, we identify three major ethical issues in NAFTA and compare them to the Caux Principles and 29 corporate codes of ethics. The comparison is presented in Exhibit 2. Conclusions are drawn from the analyses, and practical recommendations are made to help finns update their codes of ethics to include both the spirit and the letter of the new emphasis on international business ethics.
Exhibit 2. Data Set Number of Codes of Ethics Economic and Social Impact of Business 15 Respect for Rules 8 Support for Multilateral Trade 11 Respect for Environment 4 Avoidance of Illicit Operations 31
North American Free Trade Agreement
The multilateral agreement was executed on January 1, 1994. Some of the main provisions of this unparalleled agreement deal with the elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers and the facilitation of multinational corporate business operations. Also, central to the agreement is a strong position on environmental protection [5]. The agreement states that each party is to implement the provisions of the agreement so that "there will be a progressive elimination of all tariffs on goods qualifying as North American." It also calls for protection of intellectual property rights [3:242]. NAFTA's ample employment protections are particularly important since Mexico does not enforce the liberal labor guarantees of its constitution that otherwise bear many similarities to U.S. and Canadian labor laws [1].
NAFTA's provisions deal with some of the most timely issues within the global environment. Do these issues reflect the concerns of businesses as players in a global ethical context? One indication of multinational concern is found in the Caux Round Table Principles of Business Ethics.
CAUX Principles
Simultaneous with the implementation of the multilateral NAFTA agreement among the U.S., Canada and Mexico to promote flee trade by eliminating tariff and non-tariff barriers was the creation of the Caux Principles. Considered to be the first international code of ethics for business, the Caux Roundtable Principles originated at a meeting of international business leaders in Caux, Switzerland. These business people represented the U.S., Europe and Japan. The Caux Principles are based on the Minnesota Principles, which originated from the Minnesota Center for Corporate Responsibility (MCCR) affiliated with the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities, Minnesota [4]. …

How do you test a complex system that is trying to mimic being smart?
You want to automate testing, so you have your quality meter available for every little change you make. While having unit tests helps catching classical programming regressions, the major part of the challenge is having 'smart part' under control. Unfortunately the only way to tell if the system is doing a good job or not is to have human check the results. The trick is that if you could automate testing in general, you would already have solved the hardest problem.So what you basically do is generate a set of evaluation data, manually. And have a system that does something like unit tests, but instead of giving you fail/pass results, you get statistics. Now you would think that the problem is solved, but that's far away from truth.
There is changing of the dataset – when you have new content in the system, you get completely new related stories and you have to go back and have a human judge them. There is expansion of the evaluation data – as you add new tests you generally can't send them through previous versions of your algorithms, since that would be prohibitely expansive. And there is statistics that hardly gives you overview over what exactly your changes caused, just few final numbers. And then there is the problem of pipelining the processing. Even if you improve the first stage, end results might be worse, since you've already adapted the second stage to previous first one. So you need to actually evaluate each part of the system in isolation and then together.
At the end you actually find out that you spend disproportional amount of time evaluating even the smallest changes. So you are in danger to just skip that evaluation which naturally you shouldn't.
Ok, so much for today, now I think the evaluation run has just ended and I should be checking the results, again.

In 2013, for "Justified: AIGA Design Competition," a distinguished jury chaired by Clement Mok selected 14 case studies that each serve as an effective tool to explain the role of designers in conceiving and implementing solutions.
The following are individual jurors' comments on the selection "Case Study: Nothing." To view all 14 selected works, visit: aiga.org/justified-2013-selections/
Valerie Casey, founder and chief executive officer, Necessary Projects, San Francisco, CaliforniaThe Nothing campaign thoughtfully accesses its audience in an appropriate and appealing way. There's a fine line with this type of call to action—how to engage people without being overly sentimental, clever or pedantic. The campaign is pure in its message. It provides simplicity and drama, all wrapped up in a creative provocation that relies on an unexpected twist to capture attention. The design team was able to execute the Nothing campaign across multiple points of engagement without incurring fatigue around the central message. Its extensibility, through licensing to other states, was another compelling data point that the jury considered as we weighed the campaign's merits with its sustainability as a platform. Nothing is a great role model.
Jessica Hische, letterer and procrastiworker, Title Case, San Francisco, CaliforniaGreat project, great visuals, great writing! I love the Nothing submission; it's just so smart.
Brad Johnson, VP, executive creative director, Second Story (now part of SapientNitro), Portland, OregonThis is a very smart, inventive way to catalyze action around an important problem. Through the use of real physical props—empty cans in a grocery store context—the reality of hunger is made more immediate and actionable to those who might help address the problem. Great concept.
Clement Mok, design and business consultant, The Design Office of Clement Mok, San Francisco, CaliforniaGame changer. Moved the needle. Inspirational. Simple, elegant and smart. A strong concept carried and executed with integrity and resolve.
Josh Rubin, founder and editor in chief, Cool Hunting, New York, New YorkThis campaign has the sophistication and engagement typically executed by big brands with big budgets. It grabs the viewer before they realize what it's about and educates them before they realize what's happened. In this case, it's for the greater good.
Christopher Simmons, principal and creative director, MINE™, San Francisco, CaliforniaHonestly, I have mixed feelings about this project. I admire the clever and provocative concept, but have difficulty appreciating the execution. The visual language intentionally (and successfully) mimics that of "traditional" food packaging and advertising, but it so faithfully apes that bland and uninspiring language that I have a difficult time connecting with the parody. On the other hand, it did increase food donations and generated considerable media exposure, the positive results of which are difficult to measure but probably benefit the client over the long-term.

About semi-precious stones and there us in creating handmade jewellery.
Semi-precious stones have been treasured for many years and have been used as a form of adornment for as long. A gemstone or as we will refer to them as semi-precious stones are a natural mineral and when these beautiful stones have been cut and polished they are used to create stunning pieces of handmade jewellery. Not all semi-precious stones are strictly gems and they do not all sparkle and shine, natural minerals such as Opals and pearls but neither the less they still come under the heading of semi-precious stones. After these natural stones have been cut and polished they are used set in precious metals to make earrings, bracelets, pendants, necklaces and jewellery sets.
The value of the semi-precious stones will depend on many different factors. One of the determine factors is how rare the stone is, like everything in life the rarer it is the greater its cost. Gemstones like beautiful Rubies and Emeralds are available to us in smaller amounts than Diamonds and this is the reason why they are more expensive. If a stone is in vogue then this may add to its cost as it becomes a piece of semi-precious jewellery that everyone is looking for. The colour, the clarity and the quality of the cut are all factors in the cost of the stone and also its aesthetic nature and if it has both of these the cost will be very high. These stones can be cut and polished into beads and pendants.
Some of the semi-precious stones that we use in the making of handmade jewellery are Turquoise, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Tigers Eye and Amazonite. These can be used on their own or they can be set into precious metals. The beautiful natural colours of these semi-precious stone can create stunning semi-precious jewellery designs like earrings crafted from Rose Quartz cabochons, Rings set with polished Black Onyx stone, necklaces that have the lovely blue stone of Turquoise set into a unique and original sterling silver setting or a bracelet that has been handcrafted from beads made of Tigers Eye.
A sparkling Diamond is the typical gemstone we think of when we think of a typical gemstone and the value of this determined in different ways than other gemstones. The Diamond has been highly valued more for its physical properties of hardness, its stunning clarity, and beautiful brilliance. Other gemstones like Rubies and Sapphires are judged on different qualities such as their depth of colour but in the case of all these stones the larger the carat then higher the value and this will determine the price of the piece of handmade jewellery they have been set in.
These beautiful stones can be used on their own in a semi-precious jewellery designs or they can be mixed and matched creating unique and original jewellery designs. You will find Ruby rings where large single Rubies have been surrounded by small diamond. Pearl earrings that have diamonds added for sparkle and glamour. It could be a bracelet with a mix of gemstones making a colourful piece of unique handmade jewellery.
The same rule applies to pieces of semi-precious jewellery, the natural stones can be used on their own or they can be used in combinations mixing colours and also shaped and size of beads. Pendants of one stone can be set in the centre of a beads necklace of another stone or a total mix of stones can be used. Adding pearls and crystal beads to the mix can give a totally different look to the piece of handmade jewellery making it unique in design. The possibilities are endless and it will all depend on your personal choice and style.
Fashion Jewelry Trends
"I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence."
– Yves Saint Laurent
Isn't it true? Well, only women can understand this, for Fashion Jewelry is something that fascinates them the most.
There are various Fashion Jewelry Items which are worn by both men and women so accessorize their clothes for casual as well as party wear. Some of these are as follows:
Rings: Since ages, rings have beautified the hands of a lady. Big Beaded Rings, Crystal Rings, Diamond Rings, and Gemstone Rings are the part of Trendy Fashion Wear. These are not limited to women but men also have huge liking for the rings. The designs of the rings for both men and women differ a lot. Emerald- and Asscher-shaped rings are preferred by men whereas heart, pear, princes and marquise shapes are suited for women.
Earrings: Danglers with gemstones or with antique look give voluminous and royal look. Therefore, they can be worn in the parties and functions. On the other hand, Small Pearl Earrings, diamonds, etc. are appropriate match with the formal attire.
Necklaces: Necklaces in ancestral metallic look or beaded with gems and stones. Necklaces with the matching earring are best to beat the monotonous look.
Bracelets: They are the unique replacements for the bangles. They add a magnificent charm to the hands by giving an imperial look.
The Internet is vast and there are new creative and luring businesses that are explored by innumerable people. Such is the concept of Fashion Jewelry Online.

But it is important for the buyers to consider only popular and reliable virtual shops so that they get the quality product and value for money.
Email Marketing Increases Jewelry Store Sales
Your jewelry store can improve sales during "wedding season" and the holiday season with email marketing. Sometimes "Keeping up with the Jones'" is a good thing! You know that people get engaged "in bunches". Once one friend "pops the question," they all follow suit like dominos. Or, when people see others getting gorgeous gifts of jewelry from their spouses during the holiday season, they will toe-the-line as well.
With a "forward to friend" email marketing campaign contest, your store will receive a great volume of clients based on this phenomenon. People who have purchased an engagement band or a holiday season gift will forward your promotions on to their friends, and their friends will feel compelled to do the same. Customer testimony is the premier form of advertising you can get, and a forward to friend campaign will entice your customers to vouch for your service, expertise and prices as a jewelry store owner and operator. More people, means more money.
The contest prize should be whatever you can afford to give away, and should cater to the likes and needs of the audience that you are targeting. During the summer, give away an engagement or wedding band,and make sure it's beautiful! In the winter, give away a necklace or pendant in white gold (if you can swing it, add a diamond or two), to match the winter season. These promotions will get people involved immediately. Because of your timely marketing strategy, you're going to be focusing on people who are in the market for your product. The decision to forward an email so that there is an opportunity to receive beautifully designed jewellery for free, just for vouching for your jewelry store, is a no brainer! People will sign-up and it will create a buzz about your stores' brand. You can't buy that kind of publicity!
You can also ask your contest winners if they don't mind being photographed and featured in your next email newsletter. Once they see their beautiful pictures up, they'll be sure to forward that email to their friends, and tell them about the wonderful experiences they've had with your jewelry store.
Designing a forward to friend campaign is easy. A top-of-the-line email marketing service provider will give you with a number of well-designed templates to suit the needs of a contest campaign. The templates that will best suit your purposes are the ones that allow you the option to upload plenty of pictures. The reason you should choose this type of template is because you will want to add other promotions alongside the picture of the piece of jewelry you are giving away. Although the free gift should be front and center with text that indicates the promotional offer, the other offers and jewellery designs are what will bring more customers in to check out your store. Make sure your pictures are clear and look amazing. However, make sure the pictures are not too big, and that there are not too many of them, otherwise the email will simply take too long to load once it arrives in the reader's inbox.
Don't forget that once you've designed your email marketing campaign and sent it out, the process does not end there. Once you have sent it out you can track all your information. This option is available for free with any reputable email marketing. You can track who has opened the email, who has clicked on you offers, and who has forwarded your campaign to their friends. All of this information can be exported from your email marketing to a text or Excel file. The information can be exported by category, providing you with lists of people segmented by their interest in your product. This is extremely useful for future marketing campaigns.
With a timely, well-designed forward to friends contest through your email marketing, your sales numbers will begin a steady increase. Your customers will appreciate receiving your promotional offers, and will feel enticed to purchase your beautiful necklaces, bracelets, watches and rings. It's time to propose a good deal to your client base!

Selling Your Jewelry on Consignment: Tips for Protecting Your Interests
Selling your jewelry on consignment through shops and galleries can be a nice source of income. But consignment arrangements do bear a risk for the artist, because the shop or gallery owner holds several pieces of your jewelry for which you haven't received payment yet
Since in a consignment arrangement you (the artist) retain ownership of your merchandise until it's actually sold, you must take responsibility for protecting your property. Here are a few pointers to make consigning your jewelry safer for you:
1) Many states have consignment laws to protect artists. Each state's laws are different, so it's a good idea to check with your state legislature to be sure you know your legal rights and responsibilities before entering into a consignment agreement.
2) Check out a shop or gallery carefully before approaching them about consigning your work there. What kind of care do they appear to give the merchandise that's already in their shop? Do you like how they display things? Do they already have items that resemble your work? Does the shop itself appear to be well cared for? Is it easy to get to, and does it attract shoppers who are in your jewelry's target market? When it comes to choosing your consignment shops or galleries, an ounce of prevention is worth several pounds of cure!
3) When you first consign jewelry to a shop or gallery, start with just a few pieces until you feel confident that this consignment relationship will be successful. It's not a good idea to start out by consigning more jewelry than you can afford to lose, before you've had a chance to "test drive" the shop.
4) Use a professional, legally-binding consignment contract that clearly spells out what is expected of the artist and of the shop. It's a good idea to have an attorney look over the consignment agreement to be sure it doesn't have any loopholes that could spell trouble for you. In fact, you may want to provide your own consignment contract that's been OK'ed by your attorney.
5) Consignment shops and galleries can go in and out of business quickly, especially if the owner is inexperienced or doesn't have a sound business plan. You may want to stick with only proven shops that have been in business for several years, or else consign a small amount of jewelry in a new store that hasn't had a chance to prove itself yet.
6) It's important to keep good records of your jewelry consignment inventory and every other aspect of your consignment arrangement with the shop or gallery. This includes having a record of every piece of jewelry plus any jewelry displays you have loaned to the shop. You should also keep a record of when you delivered your jewelry to the shop, how long the shop agreed to keep and display it, the retail selling price, the agreed-on consignment fee for the shop, and your agreement regarding when and how the shop will pay you and return any unsold merchandise to you.
7) Keep in close touch with the consignment shop or gallery once you've delivered your jewelry there. If it's local to you, stop in periodically and check on your jewelry; are you satisfied with the condition it's in, and with where and how it's being displayed? If it's in another town, call or email frequently to check on things. Invest a little effort into developing a good relationship with the shop or gallery owner.
8) Set a specific time limit (for example, three months) for the shop or gallery to sell your jewelry, and state it in your consignment agreement. If your work hasn't sold within that time frame, arrange to have it returned to you. It doesn't make financial sense to let your inventory sit any longer than necessary without earning you a return on your investment.
9) Discuss with your jewelry business insurance agent any additional insurance coverage recommended for consigning your work to shops or galleries. This may include damage, loss, theft, liability, etc.
In summary, there are risks and rewards involved in consigning jewelry to shops or galleries. Successful consignment selling hinges on choosing a good shop or gallery for your work, keeping detailed records of your arrangments with the shop, using a consignment agreement or contract, and protecting yourself and your jewelry from the possible risks.
Cartilage Piercing Jewelry is A Fashion Statement Among The Young Generation
Ear piercing is the most common type of body piercing all around the world. There are two forms for ear piercing: ear lobes piercing and cartilage piercing. However, only the ear lobes are usually mentioned as ear piercings. Ear lobe piercing is the most popular among all types of ear piercings. The cartilage piercings are done on the upper part of the ear and not acquainted with people. The different between ear lobe and cartilage piercing is that the cartilage piercing takes a longer time to heal than the ear lobe. This is because the cartilage is made of tough elastic tissues and it is easier for the cartilage piercing to get infected. Hence, if you are planning for a cartilage piercing, it is very important for you to know about the details of cartilage piercing.
Lots of people are terrified of acquiring cartilage piercings on their ears. As we know the skin on cartilage of ear's area are thicker than ear lobes, the safest method of piercing them is with the help of a piercing needle. Using gun shot for cartilage piercing is not the best way because the gunshot is often used for everyone and the chances of infection are very high.
After the cartilage piercing is done at the spot that you wanted, you may insert the cartilage piercing jewelry. The best type of jewelry suited for cartilage piercing is the captive bead rings. The reason for that is the ring gives space for the piercing to get sufficient air and thus, helps in healing faster. On the other hand, in case of industrial piercing, the best type of jewelry would be a straight or a curved barbell. Moreover, barbells look stylish too. The material used for cartilage piercing jewelry should be 14k gold, surgical stainless steel or titanium. It is also important to remember that one must not change the jewelry before the piercing is completely healed.
If you want to enjoy your cartilage piercing for a long time, it is important that you take proper good care precautions. It may take 3 – 12 months for the cartilage piercing is completely healed. During this period, you have to avoid any kind of cartilage piercing infections.
Pierced cartilage piercing should pain a little more than ear lobe piercing and you feel the area of piercing is likely to swell for a few days. Hence, do not touch the piercing without hand washed; otherwise, it can increase the chances of infection in that area. You have to wash the piercing with antibacterial soap everyday. Soaking the cartilage piercing with sea salt solution will also help in quick healing.
It is advised by the experts that don't try to change the jewelry during the healing period. If you do so, it may cause problems. The most common problems of cartilage piercing are bacterial infection. The infection inflamed leading to problems like pain, redness, discharge of pus, etc. If you observe any infection on your cartilage piercing, don't hesitate to see a doctor who can recommend the correct treatment to cure the infection.
Masonic jewellery
Ladies Masonic jewellery, compared to jewellery and accessories for the brothers, can be a bit hard to come by. This is due to the simple fact that Freemasonry is dominated by men. Because of this, most of the Masonic pieces of jewellery available across the globe are made for men. However, there are a number of sources for pieces of jewellery specifically designed for women. These are ladies Masonic jewellery that a Freemasonry member can give to his mother or wife or to any female close to his heart.
The majority of Masonic jewellery available for women are necklaces and earrings. Bracelets, mostly with charms, are also one of the most popular kinds of jewels for a Mason wife or Mason lady. Pendants are also widely available online. The least produced piece of jewellery for this purpose is the ring. This is probably because a Masonic ring is almost always worn by a Freemasonry member, regardless of his degree or his lodge. Rings convey a number of symbols and rituals of the centuries-old organization. Thus, procuring a ladies Masonic ring is quite difficult, unless it's specially ordered and made.
Apart from the elusive ring, Masons can choose from a wide variety of charms for their women. One of the most popular designs is the Forget-Me-Not. Most suppliers and online stores that sell Masonic Regalia sell some kind of a Forget-Me-Not jewellery. And even though most of the designs are blue, some websites offer Forget-Me-Nots in different shades.
As for colours and hues, a Mason can choose a specific colour associated with his lodge when deciding on a Masonic jewellery for his lady. Some colours are tightly associated with a lodge that the mere sight of the jewellery can automatically connect them to a specific lodge. For instance:
- Red – signifies the wearer is a lady of a Mason who is a member of the Grand Lodge of Scotland. A green-coloured trinket can also be associated with the said lodge.
- Blue – means that the wearer of the ladies Masonic jewellery has ties with a Mason who is part of the United Grand Lodges of England.
- Black – implies that the wearer of the jewellery is a mom, a wife, a girlfriend of a Mason who is linked with the Knights of Malta.
Apart from the usual pieces of jewellery, Masonic gifts for women can also be in the form of an ornament or a trinket. This includes pieces of charm, like a Royal Arch charm, a slipper charm or an Acacia charm, which can be attached to a Masonic charm bracelet.
Shopping for a Masonic piece of jewellery for a lady is a kind, sweet gesture that a Freemason can do for the special women in his life.

Is Handmade jewellery Better than Machine-made Jewellery?
Jewellery in all forms is delight to wear but the choice of jewellery is however a matter of personal choice.
While some people like authentic and expensive hand-crafted jewellery, others may simply want to stock their wardrobes with trendy and fashionable items. Honestly, both have their own pros and cons. Let's try and compare both types of jewellery on the basis of their quality, durability and affordability.
Let's begin with understanding what machine-made and handmade jewellery are and what makes them popular?
Most of the modern jewellery available today is manufactured using machines and hence is called machine-made jewellery. jewellers today are preferring machines over artisans because machines copy exact and accurate jewellery design elements and produce a considerably large volume of high-end fashion–jewellery within no time. No wonder, they offer more variety, better finish and are easier on the pocket too thereby offering better profits to the jewellers.
Talking about the authentic handmade jewellery, it is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans after putting in hours of labor to produce intricate designs using age-old methods. Though not as well-finished as machine-made jewellery, handmade jewellery is highly valued and priced for the art and skill that has been put in during its preparation. Handmade jewellery has a special charm and elegance to it and hence makes for a perfect gift for someone special.
Let us know look at the pros and cons of both types of jewellery.
Machine made jewellery whether precious, semi-precious or low-end materials are often fashionable and offer beautiful range of designs and finishes to choose from. However beautiful it might appear initially, it can easily wear down. And, repairing machine-made jewellery is difficult and often leaves ugly scars only to leave your precious item worthless. Finishes and polishes that make this jewellery attractive, are actually a limitation when it needs to be repaired. The polish burns easily and causes irreparable damage to the articles. Recycling the metals then is almost impossible and cannot be considered an investment. However, if you know how to maintain your precious things well, nothing promises more variety and elegance than extremely beautiful, fashionable and guaranteed machine-made jewellery.
Authentic handmade silver and gold jewellery fitted with precious, semiprecious or Swarovski crystals have always been coveted by designers and consumers alike. Handmade jewellery is an investment and can easily be repaired whenever required often with minimum effort. The metals and stones can be recycled or rearranged into a new design altogether at considerably low costs when compared to purchasing a new machine-made jewellery item in the event of an irreparable damage to the article. Beautiful, authentic and specially handcrafted fashionable jewellery can be manufactured using almost all metals and gemstone combinations. Handmade jewellery gives you best value for money. However, skilled artisans are required to create and repair these beautiful pieces of art. However, care must be exercised when purchasing hand-made jewellery. Below are some tips to help you identify the real jewellery.
Inspect the materials used. Silver or gold must always be marked for their carat weight or quality. Stones can be natural, treated or stabilized and can easily be identified using simple techniques such as trying to scratch a diamond which never scratches or looking for bubbles inside a Swarovski crystal which is never present. A written disclosure indicating all components of your article on your receipt while buying can guarantee a genuine purchase.
Obtain a certificate of authenticity: A certificate of authenticity of the materials used in your jewellery can assure the quality of your purchase and can be useful when trying to resell or remodel your jewellery later.
About Swarovski Crystal Jewellery
Daniel Swarovski founded the Swarovski Company. He was born in Bohemia in 1862 and was fascinated by the industrial era in which he was born. After he experimented with electricity and glass blowing he built a machine that was able to cut and polish glass mechanically. After he patented this machine he went into mass production and it is this machine that gives Swarovski the edge over its competitors.
Swarovski is the world's leading manufacturer of crystals and has been providing many industries with large numbers of high quality cut crystals every year. Swarovski is a well known luxury brand and this is because of the quality and also because they are a symbol of elegance, taste and beauty. Swarovski crystals are renowned the world over for their amazing animal figurines, like dolphins and their stunning chandeliers with crystals dangling down. Their animal figurines have now become collectable items. They make wonderful gifts especially if you are gifting to an animal lover. Swarovski crystals are made using the finest quality materials. What makes them different is the lead oxide level is a minimum of 32%, this makes the crystal transparency very clear. There really is no other crystal that compares to a Swarovski crystal.
Nowadays if you want to flaunt your beauty by showing off costly jewellery you do not have to spend huge amounts of money on diamonds. You can now choose a Swarovski crystal instead. These stunning crystals can be found in many forms and items and the pieces of jewellery are very popular amongst both men and women. Tiaras, bracelets and rings are all popular and many women now have items of Swarovski crystal jewellery in their collections. You can wear Swarovski crystal jewellery as part of your day to day outfits and do not have to work about the costs involved if you lose it. The longevity of Swarovski crystals is amazing and the designs they come in are innovative and will help you to steal the limelight at any occasion.

Swarovski crystal rings are just as gorgeous and they have an unmistakable beauty. When you buy a Swarovski crystal ring you can choose the colour of the stone you want to be set into the ring. If you love pink you can have a ring set with a pink stone.

Munduk by motorbike
What we say:
After almost a week in Bali I had still only managed to acquire one two-word phrase of Indonesian, which is more than a little sad really. Fortunately, terima kasih is a phrase with a lot of mileage; it got me all the way from Denpasar to the magnificent volcanic highlands at Munduk and back again, with barely a hitch in the process. Which is just as well as the only other support I had to get me there was a map that seemed to have been drawn by someone to whom Bali was once drunkenly described a long time ago. Terima kasih, or "thank you", cheerfully filled in all the gaps though.
With only 30-odd hours in which to get a taste of Bali beyond the crowds and heaving traffic of Denpasar I'd been advised to go to the volcanoes in the north, and that Munduk was a good place to overnight. So I hired a 125cc, and took off at 09:00 on Saturday morning, thoroughly unprepared for the staggering beauty that awaited.
Leaving Seminyak was easy; I pointed the scooter north and was off. According to the map, it was a straight line from the junction where I turned left leaving Seminyak all the way to Antosari. I took it at its word and thus began some of the confusion. Many, many terima kasihs later I was reasonably sure I was on the right track, and booting happily along the road between Tabanan and Antosari, and this is where I first started to get an idea of what was waiting.
The road twirled its way between several river courses and the woven contours of the earth, guarded on each side by luscious, rich forest. Deep gorges and valleys revealed themselves and everywhere the most wonderful shades of green popped out, a million shades of gorgeous. My heart had started to soar.
After arriving at Antosari, and checking I was on the right road, terima kasih, I turned north for the road towards Munduk. I've decided that it's really not possible to describe just how shatteringly beautiful the scenery is. Paddy stacked up the hillsides, palm trees blew in the breeze, and my eyes vibrated from trying to take it all in. I don't know how many times I nearly crashed.
The road rose gradually and I finally reached the turn-off that I needed to take, and this is where I made my first mistake. No matter where you are in the world, never ask teenage boys for directions. They still think farting and sending tourists on wild goose chases is the height of hilarity. On the plus side, I got to see lots of beautiful Balinese villages that I would otherwise have missed.
With rain threatening, I finally asked an old man for directions to Munduk. "Up," he said, and he was absolutely right. Left, right or straight ahead, it didn't matter. They only direction to follow was 'up'. The scooter chugged bravely up the steep, steep, forest flanked hills and around the long, winding bends. If there were a road to Heaven, it would look like this.
Munduk is a funny one-street town that didn't feel very promising at the start. But I grabbed a map from the reception of my guesthouse (that had a spectacular view for $20 — most of Munduk's hotels have views), and took off to go find the waterfalls. A word of advice here: if you're going to go looking for waterfalls along a path that weaves through a glorious forest, wear something, anything, other than flip-flops. It's really not smart.
My plans were scotched though when the rain started to drizzle down, and I had no rain-proof gear for my camera. Luckily, I was passing the last hotel on the path when it started, so I ducked in there for a coffee, and waited. And waited. I watched jealously as smarter tourists, with a guide and wet-weather gear, trudged past in the rain, and waited some more.
Finally, I picked up one of the hotel's brochures, which advertised numerous services and facilities, including yoga. Aha! I thought. Tracking down the hotel owner, I asked if I could take a session. He looked at me a little nonplussed, but then said yes, for $35. After I stopped laughing he said, "Okay, so, $20. In one hour." "You're on," I said. Shortly afterwards, he came back to me and asked how I knew the hotel offered yoga. "It's in your brochure," I said. "Really!?" he replied, and wandered off scratching his head. This didn't seem very promising at all, and sure enough this is how I ended up having one of the most expensive and unchallenging yoga sessions I've ever had. And it was worth every penny.
The open-air exercise area looked out over a long valley that dropped down into a never-never and then across a long plateau. It was breathtaking. As we moved from downward facing dog to warrior and back again, I kept peering one-eyed across it, hoping my very lovely instructor (who seemed to have been scooped off the street in a panic) wouldn't notice and be offended that I wasn't really paying attention. The shush of the rain falling down was joined in a watery harmony by the gurgle-y rush of a stream beside us and the fat plops of the rain falling off the roof covered the percussion side of things. Lying on my back, all I could see was green, green and more green. I was in ecstasies.
Munduk is very damp, and much cooler than southern Bali, which was a welcome relief. I wasn't prepared though for the real chill as I motored early the next morning up to the volcano where my shortage of time started to become a real problem. You could spend days up here, exploring trails, finding waterfalls, and just being blown away by the views at every turn. I had about nine hours until my flight.
The top of the mountain, the mouth of one of the volcanoes on which Bali is perched, was the goal and I gaped and clicked and gaped for as long as I could. In the brittle early morning light, the lake shone and I longed to be able to go down and explore. I guess I'll have to come back.
The road back down the centre of Bali is flanked all the way by small towns and villages which are all practically poster-perfect advertisements for the simple beauty of Balinese architecture. The scenery is staggering too, and I had to stop taking photographs or I'd still be on the side of the road snapping furiously, and causing rumours among the locals.
I was completely punch-drunk from the beauty of it all. Every time I thought it couldn't do any better, I'd turn a corner and it would. Who needs beaches and barbecues. Bali's northern beauty goes beyond anything I've ever seen. And all you need to find it is a $4 scooter. Bali, terima kasih.Last updated: 3rd March, 2015

"I think Bush is such an embarrassment to America. He doesn't take the rest of the world at all into consideration," Paltrow was quoted by the Scottish Daily Record of Glasgow last year. "It all seems to be for him and his friends to keep getting richer at the expense of a nation, at the expense of the environment. It's like a full-scale assault." This from an eco-hypocrite who appears in environmental propaganda ads with fellow actress Cameron Diaz touting energy conservation -- while driving a Mercedes-Benz SUV paid for with her box-office windfalls from all those gauche Americans who plunk down their hard-earned cash to see her movies.
"I love America and I completely stand behind America," Gwynnie said last spring, before she wed her America-hating rockstar husband, who had declared at an awards show that "We're all going to die when George Bush has his way." If this is Paltrow?s idea of American patriotism, let?s be glad that she will be teaching it to her child overseas, in the company of so many other celebrity expatriates from Madonna to Johnny Depp.
Good riddance, Hollyweirdos. And God bless America.

He is a very experienced bowhunter, so it isn't a question of shot placement just what the gun itself should be cabable of. It has a 6" barrel. thanks

Do you mean the "Dear" which can use for general people? I think in Korea they just say it "It's ok."^^ But if you mean it for your boyfriend, you can say it "괜찮아, 자기야"
