Our Process
We believe that designing your "lifetime" ring should be easy as it is enjoyable. Our bespoke process ensures that each step is seamless and most of all an exceptional experience - the way it should be.
To ensure this, you will be introduced to your personal diamond concierge as soon as you get in contact who will be working alongside you throughout your journey with Deltora.
Explore Your Options
At your initial consultation we ask a ton of questions and get to understand your lifestyle, budget and vision.
Your ring has to fit with how you live, look, work and feel. Then we workshop ideas, try on settings and get laser-focused on what really speaks to your heart.
Personal Diamond Curation
Unlike a typical jeweller, that will show you a computer generated list of diamonds, we utilise our network of diamond growers in order to present you with a personalised diamond curation stringently assessed by our experts. We'll also provide you with a comprehensive diamond education.
Handcrafted Just For You
Your ring is one of a kind, each piece is custom made and handcrafted by our master bench-jewellers.
Your Deltora Concierge will provide you with a 3D CAD drawing bringing your design to life and then will oversee the making of your piece, ensuring the highest quality of design and production.
At Deltora Diamonds, every ring is custom. Stones are sourced to order for the setting that suits your life and style.
The Round shape is a true classic, brilliantly cut with over 58 facets causing the light to penetrate from the bottom of the diamond back through the top, giving it unbelievable sparkle. Versatile with any setting and the most popular shape of all.
If your heart is set on a round - girl you have expensive taste and you're worth it.. Rounds are the most expensive shape per carat because the diamond cutter loses the most rough diamond in the process.
Rounds are the only shape GIA gives a cut grade. When we select rounds for your consideration we only look at Ideal or Excellent Cut rounds as this is the only characteristic that impacts sparkle and brilliance.
Ideal or Excellent Cut Rounds hide colour and clarity exceptionally well with all their facets and therefore we don't just stick to a D-F in terms of colour, we can actually look at up to two grades lower in colour and clarity.
Luxury that doesn't cost the earth
Sustainable, lab created diamonds are the modern way to do diamonds. And using them, we make the world's most luxurious jewellery accessible to all women. You don't need to choose between quality and conscience. Big Rocks, Better Value, Bold Designs - Ethical Beauty.
Stand out from the crowd
Like all of life's big moments, the real value of diamonds is the emotional value they hold. So choosing your forever stone needs to count. And Deltora Diamonds aren't just for 'I do' days. Our stunning ever evolving range of fine jewellery is big on bling and value.

How We Come to Church Matters
By Carter Conlon
December 11, 2012
December 11, 2012 – It matters how we approach God. We are not approaching the throne of God as whining children who don't expect our Father to answer us. We approach the throne of God as sons and daughters of God cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ, invited to the throne of God!

"The most profound knowledge is often only available through direct perception and experience. Words alone are never sufficient to explain such mysteries. Understanding the nature of fear and how to take control of it is of great importance in our daily life. Knowing the source of fear is the essential element; without it, your understanding of fear will not be complete.
The profound and simple truth is that the universe was created by our Divine Maker. He created the whole universe out of himself and no other substance. In reality all things and creatures are one with our Maker. Just as in the material world, all elements consist of atomic particles, yet they are manifested as infinitely different forms. Whenever we experience ourselves as separate from that power of Oneness, fear enters."
Chin-Ning Chu, in "Thick Face, Black Heart"

Go, Trump, Go
The main headline in the New York Daily News today is "Trump Is Hitler."
They are basing their lead story on the opinion of one man, a comedian I never heard of.
In the Huffington Post, the associate editor writes under the headline, "Trump Rally Looks Like A Scene From Nazi Germany."
I looked at the picture and I didn't see anything that resembled Nazi Germany.
If that is the best his enemies can come with on Donald Trump, they got nothing, nothing, nothing on him.
Israel, for reasons which don't have to spelled out, follows the US presidential election closely. It could come down to Trump vs. Hillary. Israel is not going to get a fair picture from the US mass media (MSM), not just on Trump, but also on Hillary, wife of the former president Bill Clinton and secretary of state from 2008-2012.
The US mass media, with Fox News the exception, has been an attack dog of the Democratic Party for some time now. It is constantly trying to dig up dirt on the Republican candidate, but will look the other way on anything that might hurt the chances of the Democrat.
Let's go to 2008. Obama from the time he started his career in politics in Chicago was in tight with a crooked wheeler-dealer named Tony Rezko. Rezko was finally sent to prison in 2011. In 2005, Obama got a property at a cut rate next to one bought by Rezko's wife. An Israeli lawyer specializing in such cases here — his name escapes me — said that under Israeli law he would go to prison for that deal. US law is different, but his whole relationship with Rezko cried out for a major investigative effort by the press. None, beyond what was done locally, was made. If Trump had a similar relationship with someone like Rezko at any time, he would be dead in the water by now.
Then there was the meeting Obama had with a group of virulent anti-Semites, in the late '90s I believe, including Arafat go-fer Rashid Khalidi, who is on record as saying that suicide bombings are justified if the victims are Jews. Why was Obama there and what was said? The LA Times had a video of that meeting. They refused to release it. No one in the MSM made any kind of fuss. Contrast this with Trump being depicted as a KKK supporter merely because he said in passing he would take the votes of the KKK, or something like that. Obama did far worse in even sitting in the same room as Khalidi, let alone talking to him, plus all the others, and there was not a word of criticism from anyone in the MSM.
All Democrats benefitted from the MSM favoritism. John Edwards was posturing as the devoted husband of his cancer-stricken wife while running around with another woman. No one in the MSM touched it. The story broke only because the National Enquirer exposed it. If they had anything resembling that on Trump he, again, would dead in the water.
While they were ignoring Obama, the Daily Caller exposed a list of 400 liberal journalists including reporters, commentators, and academics belonging to JournoList, who conspired on ways of attacking Sarah Palin, the vice-president candidate. She got the same treatment Trump is getting today. Some commentators on TV didn't even call her by name, rather "Caribou Barbie." One said anyone who votes for her is "white trash." Things hit rock bottom when comedienne Sandra Bernhard, a speaker at the DC Jewish Community Center in Washington, called publicly for the gang-rape of Palin, specifying that it should done by black men, residents of New York City. The crowd, all Jews, laughed. The only way you can top that is for someone to call for Trump's assassination. There is already a page up on Facebook called "AssassinateDonaldTrump." As of this moment, Facebook refuses to take it down.
Hillary has been under scrutiny for not securing her e-mails. Whether anything illegal occurred or this damaged US interests, who knows? And no one really expects Obama's Justice Department to do anything but cover it up.
Israel had a lot to be nervous about if its messages to Hillary were leaking out. But the worst case was probably the Ukraine. This goes to the relationship of the US with Russia, read Putin.
This is a long story. When the Iron Curtain fell the Ukraine possessed 1,900 nuclear warheads. That was more than China, the UK, and France combined. They didn't want them, but their president said maybe we should keep 46 just in case. Clinton, then US president, told the Ukrainians, don't worry, we've got your back. And the Ukrainians gave up everything.
Yeltsin, the Russian leader at the time, was seriously trying to establish a friendly relationship with the US. Clinton then decided to strip Kosovo province from Serbia, a client of Russia, and give it to the Albanian mafia. Yeltsin was incapacitated by illness and drink at the time. He could have caused havoc to the plans by arming Serbia with an advanced air-defence system that could shoot down their planes. He didn't do it. On the day the war began, Primakov, the foreign minister, was in the air en route to meet Gore, then vice-president, to close a deal worth $16 billion that would have cemented relations between the two countries. He turned the plane around in mid-air, muttering "keep your money," and from that day to this, Russia has not trusted America.
It gets worse. Because Clinton stripped off a province of Serbia, as far as the Russians were concerned, those were the new rules in the world, the same for everyone. They sliced off two provinces from Georgia.
In 2009, when Hillary was in charge of foreign affairs, Obama assured the nervous Ukrainians that you have nothing to worry about, we are there for you. All this chatter about the Ukraine was going into Hillary's unsecured e-mail system. No one can say if the Russians were reading her emails, but it deserves an investigation. Then the Russians grabbed the Crimea from the Ukraine and if Obama did anything at all, it was to interrupt his golf game for a few minutes.
If anyone expects Hillary in the White House to establish better relations with Russia, they don't realize how much anger exists even today against Bill Clinton for stripping off Kosovo. As far as they are concerned, she's no different from him. And if she had classified emails on the Ukraine that were unsecured, then she botched the job as secretary of state, and should not even be considered for president.
Then there was the whole story of the Mufti's Vineyard in Jerusalem, when Hillary was secretary of state. Way back, this property had belonged to the Mufti, a Nazi war criminal who is responsible for the deaths of most of the Jews of Bosnia during WWII. The property was awarded by the courts to a Jew. The family of the Mufti said that it should go to them. Obama took up the cause of the Nazi war criminal triggering riots in the streets. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat, among others, tried to explain, "Israeli law does not discriminate between Jews, Muslims, and Christians or between eastern and western Jerusalem."
What was Hillary's reaction to the Israeli government position defending giving a property to a Jew that had been seized from a Nazi war criminal? Her department said: "insulting," "an affront," "very unfortunate." There are only two possibilities: either she speaks without thinking, and is clueless, or she is contemptuous of the Israeli government. In either case, she is going to be a disaster for Israel as president.
No one is going to hold Hillary's feet to the fire on what she was doing when the Ukraine was going down the tubes or whether she still supports turning over a Jerusalem property to the family of a Nazi war criminal, or has she changed her mind, and why? The reason is that the MSM will give her pass on everything. She can do no wrong. If someone died at Benghazi, it wasn't her fault. Or, as she put it herself, "What difference does it make?" As for Trump, they will do their best to make him out as the second coming of Hitler because they have nothing, nothing, nothing on him.
I am a Canadian by origin, resident of Israel, so I have no vote in this election. But I shall express my opinion on these two.
Go, Trump, Go!

14 Best Free Advertising Sites Checklist (2022 Edition)
Free advertising sites are a necessity for the small business owners, or for those looking to buy or sell. You're a small business owner or marketing professional, and your budget is limited. Therefore, you need a free advertising solution that can potentially reach new customers.
The main purpose of posting ads on free advertising sites is to draw traffic to your business as classified sites are visited by a large number of users.
Advertising on these sites improves the visibility to your website or blogs as well. This method is being used by many webmasters to improve SEO (search engine optimization). You can put backlinks on these high domain authority sites to boost your website's rank in the search engine result pages.
Sites like Craigslist have their post indexed and crawled by Google, so keyword optimized ads also have an opportunity to appear in organic searches if you write the SEO friendly ad copy.
With users spending over 6 hours a day on their smartphones, listing your products through mobile-friendly advertising websites for free is a big chance to get noticed.
Below is the list of the 14 most frequently visited classified ads websites where you can promote your business.
Google My Business
With over 2 billion registered profiles, 400 million active users, and 63,000 searches per second, GMB (Google My Business) is one of the best free online advertising sites.
If you want to capture this colossal website traffic and direct right to your store or website, you need to list your business on GMB. It's a great tool that can increase your revenue.
It offers a more organic presence feature with a chance to show up in the Google Local 3-pack. Plus, it features your business' precise location on a mobile-friendly map for smartphone users.
GMB closely ties in AdWords, Google+, Maps, Search, and Insights which manages your online presence much easier.
Facebook Marketplace
With over 2.38 billion active users, Facebook is a crowded marketplace. Having a large marketplace to host the ads guarantees a high potential of "hitting" your target market.
Facebook recognizes this opportunity and permanently upgrades its platform for a more integrated selling and buying experience.
It allows sellers and buyers to interact in the marketplace via their Facebook profile. Unlike being anonymous users in Craigslist, Facebook users must add a name with face to do a listing.
It's pivotal to know how to maximize Facebook features to improve your marketing, including automated chat boxes that handle customer service more efficiently.
Facebook Marketplace also allows you to set some filter options and search for the local marketplace up to 100 miles from your current location.
If you are in the eCommerce industry, advertising on Amazon is the ideal solution for maximizing your sales. Amazon is one of the best business advertising sites on the online marketplace with increasing sales year after year.
There are 300 million Amazon users, and it's estimated that 80 million Americans are Amazon Prime members. Also, half of all web buyers will go to Amazon to search for a product.
Facebook knows interest levels, Google has search data, but Amazon has real power since it knows what users are buying and how they are doing it.
It works similar to the eBay, but the vast customer base comes at the price of higher fees ($39 per month for professional seller account) and more competition. Its built-in algorithm recommends your products to people who search for similar items.
It's a multinational company that provides consumer-to-consumer and business-to-business sales service via the internet.
eBay operates in over 30 countries, with 180 million active users, making it recognized as one of the largest technology companies around the world. This platform is used for advertising tools and services locally and internationally.
It helps people find what they're looking for in their local communities such as apartments, jobs, various equipment, financial services, tickets, and many more.
With almost 55 million monthly visitors, Craigslist is the most popular free classified ads site, according to Alexa.
Even with 25% of ads marked as spam, Craigslist is world-renowned classified site from the USA.
The majority of Craigslist users are regular people searching for services and products. Ads remain active 7 to 45 days depending on location.
It provides different categories devoted to jobs, housing, personals, gigs, events, community, resumes, and discussion forums. Even with an outdated interface since '95 and with no mobile app, Craigslist operates in 70 countries and is still one of the most used free advertising sites for small business.
Oodle is a massive aggregator of listings both locally and globally. With over 15 million active users, it's one of the biggest rivals to Craigslist out there.
It utilizes the network of online marketers such as eBay, BoatTrader, and ForRent to deliver more relevant results. Plus, compatibility with Facebook allows you to post status updates, to attach the face and name to an Oodle post.
Things that can be found on Oodle include real estate, cars, jobs, personals, renting, pets, merchandise, tickets, and a variety of other classifieds.
OLX is a New York-based free classified ads site that offers the option to create classified ads and discussion forums that are segregated by various categories like jobs, properties, personals, cars, pets, and many more.
OLX's Facebook accounts around the world have over 1 million likes and their combined Twitter followers' amount to almost 60 000.
It allows you to deck up your ads with videos and images that help attract more visitors quickly, manages your ads, highlights them on your social networking accounts, etc.

What is the significance of your business or organization? There are some amazing women leading extraordinary brands in the women's empowerment space.

Some of these leaders empower women by focusing on interpersonal relationships. Others are committed to empowering women through content that focuses on emotional or mental healing.
However, Matchless® is unique in that I am an attorney leading my brand from the unique perspective that I have as a legal advisor. Different attorneys possess different gifts. Some of my colleagues are great orators. Some of them are fantastic jurist and writers. I am an amazing strategist. As a healthcare lawyer, my legal practice focuses on advising medical professionals in a variety of civil and health law matters. I am a strategist. My commitment is to provide practical solutions to the complex issues medical professionals face daily. Furthermore, many of the dilemmas that my clients face arises out of a concern with money. My work as a lawyer focuses on advising my clients on many different financial matters, this is why money and a woman's relationship with money will continue to influence direction we take with Matchless®.
I read an article once that said that poverty is a woman's issue. According to a study in money magazine in 2018, women invest less and carry more debt than men. I don't think that it is wise to ignore our financial well-being as women. As such, I am doing something about it. You can find the link to the article here: http://money.com/money/5141680/investing-finance-gender-gap-pay-inequality/.

Officials have argued that the likely crash site remains somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean – thousands of miles off Perth on the west coast of Australia and where the current trawl for Flight MH370 is taking place….
In his letter, volunteer investigator Andre Milne said it appeared the pilot planned to use Flight MH370 for "provocative action" against the US military base on the island of Diego Garcia, in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
He added: "Whoever was in control of the flight wanted MH370 to be observed by the inhabitants of the Maldive atolls, during daylight, as flying south towards Diego Garcia."
Mr Milne said his latest claims generate "irreversible damage to the credibility of the Australian Government and Inmarsat" – a British satellite firm involved in the official search for Flight MH370.
He continued: "There's little doubt that there should be a full and comprehensive explanation to all of the questions that have yet to be answered.
"There are now almost desperate claims by the Government of Australia that MH370 disintegrated upon impact into the southern Indian Ocean in spite of never producing one single piece of corroborative physical evidence."
His letter to Interpol comes as officials admitted most of the wreckage of Flight MH370 will be left on the sea floor if it is ever found.
A spokesman for the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, who are in charge of the official search operation, said their teams would only retrieve "selected components" – meaning the fuselage would remain submerged while the black box and cockpit voice recorder would be brought to the surface.

By STEPHEN HAWKINS
Associated Press
IRVING, Texas – One thing Brett Wetterich treasured about his first PGA Tour victory was the personal congratulation from tournament namesake Byron Nelson.
"Last year, sitting by him while I'm getting the trophy … it's a special feeling," Wetterich said. "Just having him in your presence, it gives you the goose bumps."
This year's winner won't get that privilege at the 18th green Sunday.
For the first time since Nelson's name became attached to the tournament in 1968, it will be played without him there.
"It just seems to be a slight somber feel about it," Luke Donald said Wednesday. "I walked past the 18th green and saw there was no position where he's going to sit, and it just seems a little bit different. … I'm sure it will feel like it's missing something without Byron here."
Nelson died of natural causes Sept. 26. He was 94.
The golfer known as "Lord Byron" was the first to have a PGA Tour event named after him. His presence helped make the tournament a popular stop for players, whom he greeted as they finished their rounds, and the biggest charity fundraiser on the PGA Tour. The Nelson is expected this year to become the first to surpass $100 million in total donations to charities.
"He lived an amazingly full life," Tom Lehman said. "It was quite a life to celebrate. To see an empty chair will be sad, but it'll put a smile on your face thinking about Byron Nelson the man."
The first Byron Nelson Championship without its namesake begins Thursday.
Only three of the top 13 players in the world ranking made it to Texas: Phil Mickelson (No. 4), Vijay Singh (No. 7) and Donald (No. 11). Mickelson and Singh are past Nelson champions and Donald has played 16 of his 18 rounds at the Nelson in the 60s.
"To be in this particular spot maybe isn't the best for the tournament," Lehman said. "I would not say it's an optimal week. But I feel pretty strongly that the legacy of his life and what they've started here will carry through."
The Nelson is a month earlier on the schedule this year, now played before Wachovia and The Players Championship. It also split the Texas two-step with the Colonial, which will be played in its traditional spot, May 24-27.
Top-ranked Tiger Woods, who made his Nelson debut as a high school kid in 1993 when Byron Nelson got a sponsor's invitation for him, skipped the tournament for the second year in a row. Woods won in 1997, his first time there as a pro, but hasn't played since 2005, when he missed the cut to end his record of 142 consecutive cuts.
Wetterich has two top-10 finishes this year, and is still looking for his second PGA Tour victory. But he gets to find out what it's like to play as a defending champion.
"It feels weird because it's the first time that it's ever happened for me," Wetterich said. "I think you have to take it as a normal week and go out and do the same things you did last year and two weeks ago, three weeks ago, four weeks ago."
Wetterich will open Thursday on the TPC Four Seasons Resort course, which starting next year will be the only course used for the Nelson. The tournament moved there in 1983, and since 1995, the Cottonwood Valley course across the street has been used with each golfer playing one of his first two rounds there.
After this year's tournament, there will be a multimillion dollar redesign on the TPC course that will affect every tee box, fairway, green and bunker on the course. Five holes will be lengthened and the green shared by holes Nos. 5 and 9 will be separated.
Cottonwood Valley is where Woods played his last Nelson round. That was also where Arron Oberholser shot a tournament-record 60 last year, missing a chance for 59 when his 15-foot birdie attempt on the 18th hole curled and settled about a foot from the cup.
Divots: Mickelson missed the 7 a.m. tee time for his pro-am round Wednesday because of a flight cancellation while returning Tuesday night from a charity event in Arkansas. He got to the course Wednesday for lunch with the group he was supposed to play with, but didn't have a practice round. … Three identical motorcycles built by Orange County Choppers were unveiled Wednesday. The tournament winner and sponsor EDS both get one, and the other will be auctioned online to benefit charity. The design of the choppers included 11 chrome wheel spokes that commemorate each of Byron Nelson's consecutive tournament victories in 1945. The Teutuls, the father and sons from OCC, rode the choppers to a spot by the No. 1 tee.

Clyde Grambsch, pop-up manufacturing pioneer and founder of Canvas Replacements, Loyal, Wis., has passed away.
In 1957 Grambsch started EZ-Kamper after developing one of the first modern pop-up camping trailers in America. His impact on the RV industry led to his induction into the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind., where his original prototype EZ-Kamper is on display.
In the 1970s Grambsch started Camper & Recreation (now Canvas Replacements), with his son, Bob, joining months later. Canvas Replacements is a private supplier of canvas replacement tops and pop-up camper parts.
Bob now serves as president and continues to run the company with three of Grambsch's grandsons.

The Center for GIS at Towson University, in partnership with the Maryland Department of Commerce and the U.S. Office of Economic Adjustment, recently released the redesigned Maryland Defense Network, a free tool that allows users to make meaningful connections, understand government contracting opportunities, grow business prospects, and assess the overall defense industry impact. The new redesign incorporates modern design elements with a focus on improving the user experience of the site, streamline access to the various modules of the tool, and additionally adds a new manufacturing directory and federal opportunity search as additional components of the site.
Manufacturing Directory
The new manufacturing directory gives the general public the ability to access manufacturing companies throughout Maryland. Navigating through the directory, users can search for companies by keyword, as well as advanced filters such as capabilities and special certifications. The tool also allows users to browse companies by category, including textiles and apparel, machinery, and fabricated metal. Once in the categories, users can see a list of companies, their addresses, websites, and other important information. Users also have the option to view a map of the companies and export the information into a CSV file for easy access.
Federal Opportunity Search
The other latest feature to be added to the Maryland Defense Network is the federal opportunity search. This tool allows users to learn about opportunities to contract with the Federal Government by searching government notices and solicitations. Users have the ability to search using keywords, department/agency/office, procurement type, and more.
As the Maryland Defense Network continues to grow, we look forward to adding and improving new features to help users easily navigate the site and find the best opportunities available to them.

This week, a glimpse of author Tao Lin's Murray Hill apartment surfaced in this cheeky review over at Vice. Though somewhat alarmed at the squalor of Lin's digs, I found myself inspired to hunt down a few more shots of notable authors hanging out at home.
Below, stop by and visit with everyone from Zora Neale Hurston to Paul Auster. Whose apartment would you most like to move into?

Turning Evil into Good: How to Help Kids Respond to the Sandy Hook Shooting
If you're a parent, teacher, coach or youth worker—you've likely had a conversation already with your kids about the Sandy Hook school shooting. Everyone is processing this massacre at their own pace and on their own level. I've seen tears, anger and knee-jerk reactions on what to do about it from both adults and children.
But just like after 9-11, many adults aren't sure how to have a conversation about the tragedy. So, they avoid it altogether. I believe we must understand how to not only talk about events like this, but to transform them into "teachable moments." I think there's a way adults can help students debrief what happened in a practical yet heartfelt manner; in a way that includes both wisdom and empathy and that turns an "evil" into a "good."
Over the next three days, I plan to help leaders who work with elementary school students, middle school students and high school/college students "unpack" what happened, how we can respond in a redemptive way and how we might prevent tragedies like this in the future. Kids will return home from school this week and ask parents about the extra police officers on campus or the principals that are acting extra cautious in the hallways.
What is Your Role?
As you talk to your students about the Newtown, CT shooting, I hope these principles are helpful:
1. Host Not a Guest
Just like a host, initiate the conversation. Don't be a guest where you wait for them to do something. Limit media exposure but watch the news together. (Be age appropriate.) Spark conversation on current discoveries. Engage instead of avoid.
2. The Indian Talking Stick
The Talking Stick was used by Native American tribes to confront conflict. The one holding the stick got to talk. Let them express themselves first—how much do they know? How deeply do they feel? What are they ready to process?
3. The Mirror Effect
Your students will look to you for an example of how to respond. Model empathy. Speak deliberately and carefully about what happened. People do what people see. I remember learning this lesson after terrorist attacks on 9-11. This is vital.
Mr. Waldorf awarded a motel clerk named George Boldt the opportunity to run the finest hotel in the world—because he knew how to serve. With your kids, find a way to serve people in your community who are marginalized and may need empathy. This is one primary way we can turn evil into good—by doing the reciprocal of the violence we all just witnessed.
What is Their Response?
As you work with your kids, provide these images that illustrate their role:
1. Thermostats and Thermometers
You know the difference: thermometers only tell you the climate; thermostats set the climate. Enable your student to be thermostats, who set the tone and attitudes of their peers. I believe we can reduce bullying and violence this way. School violence can be reduced greatly by even a fraction of students who lead the way.
2. Build a Bridge Not a Wall
Often when we meet people who are different than us—we build a wall, because we prefer the familiar and comfortable. We like others like us. Students must learn to embrace peers who are marginalized or different and build a bridge of relationship.
3. Baggage Fees
Just like when we travel by airplane, the more bags we have the more it costs us. Kids (and adults) must address emotional baggage that leads to violent outbursts—things like resentment, bitterness, unforgiveness, jealousy…you get the idea. This is baggage that may cost all of us if we don't check it.
4. Driver not a Passenger
In life, just like in cars, there are two kinds of people: passengers who want a ride and can blame others when they don't get to their goal, or drivers who take responsibility to get to the destination. This kind of violence isn't just the problem of the police or the school principal. It's all our responsibility.

As countries get closer to eliminating malaria, targeting their resources effectively becomes an increasingly urgent question. When malaria transmission has dropped to low levels, it can be inefficient to continue implementing universal control measures that cover the whole country. This is because transmission often persists in "hot spots": specific areas where malaria parasites continue to spread within the population, or places where transmission has stopped but where imported infections – brought in by travelers who have visited neighboring countries where malaria is much more prevalent – are most likely to spread from person to person and restart transmission.
Swaziland has made great progress in reducing malaria in recent years. Its National Malaria Control Program has reported a substantial decline in cases since 1999, and it has the potential to achieve the goal of eliminating the disease entirely. In order to do so, though, decision-makers in Swaziland need to look beyond national trends and focus more closely on differences that exist within the country – to identify the hot spots where malaria hasn't yet been eliminated, and where risk of transmission is highest. They can then allocate resources toward these areas, making sure that surveillance efforts, case investigation, and other control interventions are targeted at the communities most in need of them.
In order to help in this effort, researchers have developed a model that captures an important aspect of the potential for malaria transmission in the country: how many new malaria infections are caused by each case, and how this varies across Swaziland. This metric has great operational value, as the places where this number is highest (that is, where each individual with malaria causes the largest number of new infections) are the places where control efforts should be most intensely focused, and where imported cases need to be dealt with as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Source: https://elifesciences.org/articles/09520#fig2
The figure above highlights some of these findings. Map A shows receptivity: how many new infections each infectious person causes, or potential for ongoing transmission (with red indicating the highest potential). Map B shows vulnerability: the rate of imported infections (with dark green showing areas with the highest rates of importation). Map C shows these measures taken together, or malariogenic potential: the expected number of malaria cases that could occur as a result of both receptivity and vulnerability combined (with areas in red indicating where this potential is highest).
These metrics yield important operational insights for public health authorities. Researchers found that while in some areas of the country malaria rarely spreads between individuals, in others, particularly rural areas near the border with Mozambique, each individual infected with malaria spread the disease to more than one other person. This means that elimination has not yet been achieved in these particular places, and authorities may consider preventively treating these communities with anti-malarial drugs or continuing to provide them with interventions that protect them from mosquitos. In addition, the model reveals areas where vulnerability to malaria remains high even when transmission has been interrupted; here, resources might be best focused on providing preventive treatment to travelers intending to visit places where malaria is still spreading.
This model therefore allows for responses that are tailored to the very specific transmission dynamics of particular areas, with the potential to help Swaziland maintain its progress against malaria and move further toward elimination.

Familiar with the concept of working from home and more introvert by nature, Dr Denise Risch of the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban believes she can cope better than many with the enforced lockdown caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
But more than a month into living in isolation and working from her 2-bedroom cottage, the marine biologist is realising why she loves working as part of a team at SAMS.
Dr Risch was spending time with friends and former colleagues when news of the COVID-19 pandemic cut short her working holiday in North America last month.
Her return home on March 12 was the last time she had any human interaction, notwithstanding the daily video conferences from home, where she lives alone. Having spent more days in isolation than most, Dr Risch has had time to reflect on the enforced change to her working day. For someone used to studying the sounds of marine creatures, it is all a little too quiet!
"I'm naturally more of an introvert and I often work from home, so I'm used to my own company, but I'm starting to really miss things I hadn't really thought about before, like the informal chats you have in the hallway at SAMS, or even within the cetaceans team.
"These unscheduled, spontaneous conversations can only happen when people are together in the same place and are often the spark for the more creative ideas.
"You really begin to appreciate things like that when they are taken away from you; it helps you realise what's important."
Dr Risch specialises in underwater sounds, particularly relating to marine mammals and is currently leading underwater acoustics work on the COMPASS project. The COVID-19 outbreak has already enforced the postponement of one deployment of long-term acoustic recorders and the retrieval of some already out in the Minch and the Sea of the Hebrides.
However, there are some positives to take from this change in circumstances.
"As a small silver lining, the data that these recorders are currently collecting will be very interesting in that we will be able to investigate the change in underwater noise levels under these changed conditions and assess the benefits for marine species."
"To not have conferences to attend, or fieldwork to conduct, also means I've had more time to look at long-term data, which I don't normally get the chance to do, as much as I wish," admits Dr Risch.
"Weirdly, I'm also exercising a bit more regularly. Because we're only allowed one form of exercise outdoors each day, I make more of a point to go for long walks and I'm running every second day.
"Like everyone else, I'm having good and bad days, but one just needs to make the best of the situation and wait it out."

Take extra care if you light a campfire this weekend, fire officials say.
Dry, hot weather is in the forecast, and fire danger ratings are already "high" for Houston and throughout most of the Highway 16 corridor.
"Even though it has been a quiet forest fire season so far, people should not become complacent about campfire use or open fires," said a release by the Northwest Fire Centre on Thursday.
If you do set a campfire, the advisory says, make sure to burn it away from branches, wood or other combustible materials.
Officials are also reminding the public to keep enough people and water nearby to control the fire, watch how the wind is blowing, and be sure the fire is fully out and its embers are cold before leaving a campsite.
Anyone planning a large-scale, Category 3 burn must call 1-888-797-1717 for a burn registration number before they start, and venting conditions should be checked at www.bcairquality.ca to comply with provincial regulations.
Starting at noon on Friday, July 13, all open fires will be banned in the northwest fire district, except for areas on the coast. The ban will last until August 13.
The ban covers burning of any slash or other waste material, the use of fireworks, and the use of any burning barrels.
Campfires and BBQs are not included, though open campfires must be less than half a metre in size, covered by a flameguard, and have eight litres of water or an extinguishing tool nearby.
Anyone who ignores the open fire ban may get a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to a year in jail.
Anyone who starts a wildfire by arson or reckless behaviour can be fined up to $1 million or spend three years in prison and be held accountable for firefighting costs.
Campfires are not part of that open-fire prohibition.

Fairway Market, and all its locations across the New York metro area, will remain open for business, according to the company.
On Tuesday, Jan. 22, The New York Post reported that the grocery chain was liquidating all of its stores and filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; however, according to Fairway, this couldn't be further from the truth.
"Despite reports, Fairway Market has no intention to file for Chapter 7 or liquidate all of its stores," a spokesperson for the company said. "Such statements are categorically untrue and disappointing."
According to the Post, Fairway was looking to find a buyer for its 14 locations this month. But after failing to do so, the market was moving to liquidate its stores.
But Fairway says that it may have found a buyer.
"Fairway has been engaged in a strategic process and expects to soon announce a value maximizing transaction that will provide for the ongoing operations of stores," the spokesperson said. "All 14 stores remain open for business, offering a complete range of high-quality, specialty food products, and we look forward to seeing our customers and employees."
Fairway, founded in 1933, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early 2016 but emerged later in the year with new owners.
The grocery store has one location in Queens. The Douglaston market has been open since 2011.

Twain's Geography web site is constantly under development. The site began with the idea of an on-line course for Mark Twain's tour across North America, on his way around the world. Its use as an on-line course was never realized but it did begin to acquire sections related to his lecture tours and other travels. I had previously worked out a likely route across the arid lands from Salt Lake City to Carson City. This was incorporated along with the Twain-Cable lecture tour, the Quaker City Excursion and his travels associated with his book "A Tramp Abroad". Eventually, it became necessary to align his travels chronologically.
The current version of Twain's Geography follows a chronological sequence with sections defined geographically. These major sections are referred to as "Epochs". The epochs consists of "Episodes" further divided in "Chapters". Each of the epochs is presented as a Drupal Book. Drupal being the CMS (Content Management System) within which this site is built. Nodes, the basic units of each epoch, episode and chapter, have associated locations. Locations are listed by name as well as displayed on Google maps. Where a particular route is discussed in a node a KML file is displayed as a map.

Assam is a north eastern state of India with its capital at Dispur, a suburb of the city Guwahati. Assam along with other North-eastern states of India (also known as seven-sisters) was the only independent part of todays India which never was a part of India until the area came under British rule. Located south of the eastern Himalayas, Assam comprises of the Brahmaputra and the Barak river valleys and the Karbi Anglong and the North Cachar Hills. With an area of 78,438 square kilometres (30,285 sq mi) Assam currently is almost equivalent to the size of Ireland or Austria. Assam is surrounded by the rest of the Seven Sister States: Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Meghalaya. These states are connected to the rest of India via a narrow strip in West Bengal called the "Chicken's Neck". Assam also shares international borders with Bhutan and Bangladesh; and cultures, peoples and climate with South-East Asia—important elements in India's Look East Policy.
Assam Tea : Assam is known for Assam tea, petroleum resources, Assam silk and for its rich biodiversity. It has successfully conserved the one-horned Indian rhinoceros from near extinction in Kaziranga, the tiger in Manas and provides one of the last wild habitats for the Asian elephant. It is increasingly becoming a popular destination for wild-life tourism and notably Kaziranga and Manas are both World Heritage Sites. Assam was also known for its Sal tree forests and forest products, much depleted now. A land of high rainfall, Assam is endowed with lush greenery and the mighty river Brahmaputra, whose tributaries and oxbow lakes provide the region with a unique hydro-geomorphic and aesthetic environment.
Physical geography
Kamakhya Temple
Assam is in the eastern most projection of the Indian Plate, where it is thrusting underneath the Eurasian Plate creating a subduction zone. It is a hypothesis that due to the northeasterly movement of the Indian plate, the sediment layers of an ancient geocyncline called Tethys (in between Indian and Eurasian Plates) have been pushed upwardly to form the Himalayas. It is estimated that the height of the Himalayas is increasing around 4 cm each year. Therefore, Assam possesses a unique geomorphic environment, with plain areas, dissected hills of the South Indian Plateau system and with the Himalayas all around its north, north-east and east.
Geomorphic studies conclude that the Brahmaputra is a paleo-river, older than the Himalayas, which often crosses higher altitudes in the Himalayas and sustaining its flow by eroding at a greater pace than the increase in the height of the mountain range. The heights of the surrounding regions are still increasing to form steep gorges in Arunachal. Entering Assam, the Brahmaputra becomes a braided river and along with its tributaries, creates the flood plain of the Brahmaputra Valley The Brahmaputra Valley in Assam is approximately 80 to 100 km wide and almost 1000 km long and the width of the river itself is 16 km at many places. Assam is endowed with petroleum, natural gas, coal, limestone and many other minor minerals such as magnetic quartzite, kaolin, sillimanites, clay and feldspar. A small quantity of iron ore is also available in western parts of Assam. The Upper Assam districts are the major reserves of oil and gas. Petroleum was discovered in Assam in 1889. A recent USGS estimate shows approximately 399 million barrels of oil, 1178 billion cubic feet of gas and 67 million barrels of natural gas liquids in Assam Geologic Province.
Haflong Lake
Assam is one of the richest biodiversity zones in the world. There are number of tropical rainforests in Assam. Moreover, there are riverine grasslands, bamboo orchards and numerous wetland ecosystems. Many of these areas have been protected by developing national parks and reserved forests. The Kaziranga and Manas are the two World Heritage Sites. The Kaziranga is the home for the rare Indian Rhinoceros, while Manas is a tiger sanctuary. Moreover, there are numerous other valuable and rare wildlife and plant species available in Assam. Few of the rarest species are the Golden Langur (Trachypithecus geei), the White-winged Wood Duck or Deuhnah (Cairina scultulata), the Golden Cat, etc. The Hoolock Gibbon in Assam is the only ape found in South Asia. Assam is also known for orchids.
Pre-history and myths
Assam and adjoining regions have evidence of human settlement from all periods of the Stone ages. That the known hills settlements belonged to earlier periods may suggest that the valleys were populated later, or it may reflect sampling bias due to mountainous areas being more likely to remain less disturbed over long stretches of time.
The earliest ruler according to legend was Mahiranga (sanskritized form of the Tibeto-Burman name Mairang). He was followed by others in his line: Hatak, Sambar, Ratna and Ghatak. Naraka removed this line of rulers and established his own dynasty.

Assamese and Bodo are the major indigenous and official languages of the state while Bengali holds official status in particular districts in the Barak Valley.
Traditionally Assamese was the language of the commons (of mixed origin - Bodo, Khasi, Sanskrit, Magadhan Prakrit) of the ancient kingdoms such as Kamrupa and medieval kingdoms of Kamatapur, Kachari, Cuteeya, Borahi, Ahom and Koch. Traces of the language can be found in many poems in Charyapada written by Luipa, Sarahapa, etc
Linguistically modern Assamese traces its roots to the version developed by the American Missionaries based on the local form in practice near Xiwoxagor/Sibsagar district. Assamese or Oxomeeya (as called in Assam) is a rich language due to its hybrid nature with its unique characteristics of pronunciation and softness. Assamese literature is one of the richest. The constitution of India recognises it as a major language of Republic of India.
Bodo is the ancient language of Assam and is mother of majority of the present day languages and dialects within the state and also in surrounding areas. Looking at the spatial distribution patterns of related ethno-cultural groups and their cultural traits and also phenomenon such as of naming all the major rivers in the North East Region with original Bodo words (e.g. Dihing, Dibru, Dihong, D/Tista, Dikrai, etc) it is understood that it was the most important language in the North East India in the ancient times, where history yet haven't opened its gates. Bodo is presently spoken largely in the Lower Assam areas mostly under the areas of Bodo Territorial Council.
Assam is also rich with several native languages such as Mishing, Karbi, Dimaca, Rabha, Tiwa, etc of Tibeto-Burman origin and are closely related to Bodo. There are also small groups of people speaking Manipuri, Khasi, Garo, Hmar, Kuki, etc in different parts of Assam.
In the past century migration of Bengalis to the medieval kingdom of Kacar (of Kocaries) in the Barak Valley has led to their majority, prompting the government of Assam to include Bengali as the official language in the Barak Valley districts.
Tradition and culture
Assamese culture is traditionally a hybrid one, developed due to cultural assimilation of different ethno-cultural groups under various politico-economic systems in different periods of pre-history and history. The roots of the culture go back to almost two thousand years when the first cultural assimilation took place with Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman as the major components.
Thereafter, western migrations such as those of various branches of Mediterraneans, Indo-scythians /Irano-scythians and Nordics along with (or in the form of) the mixed northern Indians (the ancient cultural mix already present in northern Indian states such as Magadha) have enriched the aboriginal culture and under certain stronger politico-economic systems, Sanskritisation and Hinduisation intensified and became prominent. Such an assimilated culture therefore carries many elements of source cultures, of which exact roots are difficult to trace and are matter of research. However, in each of the elements of Assamese culture, i.e. language, traditional crafts, performing arts, festivity and beliefs either local elements or the local elements in a Hinduised / Sanskritised forms are always present.
There are several important traditional festivals in Assam. Bihu is the most important and common and celebrated all over Assam.
Agnigarh Hill Tezpur
Bihu is a series of three prominent festivals of Assam. Primarily a festival celebrated to mark the seasons and the significant points of a cultivator's life over a yearly cycle, in recent times the form and nature of celebration has changed with the growth of urban centers. A non-religious festival, all communities---religious or ethnic---take part in it. Three Bihus are celebrated: rongali, celebrated with the coming of spring and the beginning of the sowing season; kongali, the barren bihu when the fields are lush but the barns are empty; and the bhogali, the thanksgiving when the crops have been harvested and the barns are full. Rongali, kongali & bhogali bihu are also known as 'bohag bihu', 'kati bihu' & 'magh bihu' respectively. The day before the each bihu is known as 'uruka'. There are unique features of each bihu. The first day of 'rongali bihu' is called 'Goru bihu' (the bihu of the cows). On this day the cows are taken to the nearby rivers or ponds to be bathed with special care. Traditionally, cows are respected as sacred animals by the people of Assam. Bihu songs and Bihu dance are associated to rongali bihu.
Moreover, there are other important traditional festivals being celebrated every year for different occasions at different places. Many of these are celebrated by different ethno-cultural groups. Few of these are:
Hapsa Hatarnai
Awnkham Gwrlwi Janai
Umananda Temple
Assam, being the home to many ethnic groups and different cultures, is very rich in folk music. The indigenous folk music has in turn influenced the growth of a modern idiom, that finds expression in the music of such artists like Bhupen Hazarika, Anima Choudhury, Nirmalendu Choudhury & Utpalendu Choudhury, Luit Konwar Rudra Baruah, Parvati Prasad Baruva, Jayanta Hazarika, Khagen Mahanta among many others. Among the new generation, Zubeen Garg, Jitul Sonowal and Angaraag Mahanta have a great fan following.
Traditional crafts
Assam has maintained a rich tradition of various traditional crafts for more than two thousand years. Presently, Cane and bamboo craft, bell metal and brass craft, silk and cotton weaving, toy and mask making, pottery and terracotta work, wood craft, jewellery making, musical instruments making, etc remained as major traditions.Historically, Assam also excelled in making boats, traditional guns and gunpowder, ivory crafts, colours and paints, articles of lac, traditional building materials, utilities from iron, etc.
The Xorai and bota have been in use for centuries to offer gifts to respected persons and are two prominent symbolic elements. Hajo and Sarthebari / Xorthebaary are the most important centres of traditional bell-metal and brass crafts. Assam is the home of several types of silks, the most prominent and prestigious being Muga, the natural golden silk is exclusive only to Assam. Apart from Muga, there are other two varieties called Pat, a creamy-bright-silver coloured silk and Eri, a variety used for manufacturing warm clothes for winter. Apart from Sualkuchi / Xualkuchi, the centre for the traditional silk industry, in almost every parts of the Brahmaputra Valley, rural households produce silk and silk garments with excellent embroidery designs. Moreover, various ethno-cultural groups in Assam make different types of cotton garments with unique embroidery designs and wonderful colour combinations.
Moreover, Assam possesses unique crafts of toy and mask making mostly concentrated in the Vaishnav Monasteries, pottery and terracotta work in lower Assam districts and wood craft, iron craft, jewellery, etc in many places across the region.
Major cities and towns
Mahabhairab Temple
History of urban development goes back to almost two thousand years in the region. Existence of ancient urban areas such as Pragjyotishapura (Guwahati), Hatapesvara (Tezpur), Durjaya, etc and medieval towns such as Charaideu, Garhgaon, Rongpur, Jorhat, Khaspur, Guwahati, etc are well recorded.
Guwahati is the largest urban centre and is only million plus city in Assam. The city has experienced multifold growth during past three decades to grow as the primate city in the region; the city's population was approximately 0.9 million (considering GMDA area) during the census of 2001. Population growth in the Barak Valley town of Silchar is also astonishing during past two decades. Nalbari, Mangaldoi, Barpeta, Kokrajhar, Goalpara, Dhubri (Dhubury), etc are other towns and district head quarters. On the other hand Duliajan, Digboi, Namrup, Moran, Bongaigaon, Numaligarh, Jogighopa, etc are major industrial towns. Currently, there are around 125 total urban centres in the state.

January 30, The Iran Project – Deputy Head of the Foreign Ministry's Center for International Education and Research has stressed Iran-Russia's relation in various fields, saying the two countries, by learning from the past, should build a framework that meets the interests of both sides.
Morteza Damanpak Jami made the remarks on Monday at the conference on 515 years of Iran-Russia historical ties that is now being held at Foreign Ministry's Institute for Political and International Studies.
Saying that Russia has 200 years of experience in Iranian studies, he noted that given the long history of relations, in the negotiations that we had a year ago Russia welcomed holding a conference on the two countries' ties.
Head of Iran's National Library Seyyed Reza Salehi Amiri also said earlier that in the recent visit he had to Russia, they agreed to hold an international conference in the year 2018 on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the Center for Scriptural Heritage Studies of Iran and Islam at St. Petersburg to commemorate this long history in the field of Iranian Studies.
Speaking about the improper trend of doing research in the history of relations between Iran and Russia at the conference, documents deputy of the national library Shahram Yousefifar also stated that most studies were in the fields of political, economic and military, and cultural and civilizational issues have not been considered yet.

329th Regional Support Group
Soldiers assigned to the Virginia National Guard's Virginia Beach-based 329th Regional Support Group conducted reception and mission command exercises Nov. 25 – Dec. 9, 2018, at Fort Stewart, Georgia. The 329th RSG was selected as one of the few military organizations assigned to be a Mission Support Force. MSFs have a unique and critical role to quickly mobilize thousands at a mobilization station in preparation for a deployment abroad.
According to Brig. Gen. John B. Richardson, director of Operations, Readiness and Mobilization, G-3/5/7, the mandates of the current National Military Strategy/National Defense Strategy called for a new way to view mobilization. Senior leaders recognized that future actions against near-peer adversaries could require much larger mobilization.
"It is a privilege to be involved with a mission of such strategic importance," said Col. Doyle Gillis, Jr., commander of the 329th RSG. "Our recent annual training period at Fort Stewart allowed us to build stronger ties with the installation and those with whom we will work if called upon."
The 329th RSG utilized this annual training period to exercise mission command in support of the 48th Infantry Brigade Combat Team. The 329th RSG integrated with the Mobilization Force Generation Installation operation center to develop processes to report on unit arrivals, units trained, and units synchronized. The 329th also coordinated sustainment and tracked onward movement to theater. Ultimately, this annual training exercise allowed the 329th RSG to exercise the MFGI concept to further define gaps and capabilities within the established processes.
The 329th RSG served as mission command to approximately 250 Soldiers, which included Soldiers from the following subordinate commands: the Kansas City, Mo.-based 7406th Troop Medical Clinic, the Gainesville, Fla.-based 7201st Medical Support Unit, the Greensboro, N.C.-based 114th Finance Detachment, and the 461st Adjutant General Company. In the event that the 329th RSG would execute the MSF mission, the 329th RSG would serve as the higher headquarters to seven downtrace units. These units are responsible for human resources, finance, medical, sustainment, and legal to name a few.
Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia, visited with the 329th RSG during their annual training Dec. 4, 2018 at Fort Stewart, Georgia. During the visit, Gillis provided a brief on the unit's mission and accomplishments before Williams presented challenge coins to some of the unit's exceptional Soldiers. Williams also met with the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, Maj. Gen. Leopoldo A. Quintas, Jr., and toured the Staff Sgt. Charles E. Mower Processing Center.
Other distinguished guests who also visited the 329th RSG included Brig. Gen. Lapthe C. Flora, Assistant Adjutant General Virginia Army National Guard, Maj. Gen. Joseph F. Jarrard, Adjutant General Georgia National Guard, and Brig. Gen. Ural Glanville, Commanding General U.S. Army Reserve Legal Command.
"The men and women of the 329 RSG did a magnificent job during this proof of concept and there is no doubt, we are ready," said Gillis.
