THIS RECORD-BREAKING RING WITH 7,777 DIAMONDS IS WORTH $4.9 MILLION By Tara El Kashef VIDEO: https://twitter.com/i/status/1161971155231739904
A record-breaking ring holding 7,777 diamonds on an 18k gold base has been valued at $4.9 million. Lakshikaa Jewels from Mumbai, India, created the eye-catching ring over 18 months which is now the record holder for most diamonds set in one ring. A team of twelve crafters and one experienced jeweller and designer worked on the project to recreate the Lotus Temple in Delhi on a piece of jewellery. Heading the project was Lakshikaa Jewels’ founder, Naveen 'Prince' Bhandari (India), who explained why the temple was chosen as the basis for the design. "I couldn't think of a more appropriate way to celebrate human ingenuity and spirituality than this temple,� adding that the lotus, known as padma in Sanskrit, it a sacred symbol in several religions, adding to the sense of unity behind the design. Asked why they decided to attempt the record, Prince explained: "Guinness World Records means international recognition. As a jewellery house, Lakshikaa Jewels aims to make an international name for itself. "The record title is an acknowledgement of our craftsmanship, design and capabilities. It's truly an honour to have received this title. "We hope our feat inspires other jewellery designers to create newer records and establish greater achievements." "India has a long and rich history of jewellery-making. Our Maharajas and Maharanis would hire the best artists of their time to create jewellery worthy of their stature. Since then, Indians have inherited a fondness for jewellery and an eye for craftsmanship, which is unparalleled in the world." As part of the verification process, Lakshikaa Jewels ensured that all diamonds used were conflict free. This is always done for any of diamond-related records. 2
’n Man wat siek was besoek sy dokter. Terwyl hy besig is om die ondersoek kamer te verlaat draai hy om na die dokter en sê, “Dokter, ek is bang om dood te gaan. Vertel my wat wag daar aan die anderkant vir my.” Baie saggies antwoord die dokter, “Ek weet nie.” “Jy weet nie? Jy, ’n gelowige man, weet nie wat wag aan die anderkant nie?” Die dokter het sy hand steeds op die deurhandvatsel gehad, aan die anderkant van die deur was daar ’n gekrap en ’n saggies tjank. Toe hy die deur oopmaak spring sy hond na binne, in die ondersoek kamer, met sy stert wat waai en die ene blydskap om sy baas te sien. Terwyl hy omdraai na sy patient sê die dokter, “Het jy my hond opgemerk? Hy was nog nooit vantevore in die ondersoek kamer nie. Hy het nie ’n idee gehad van wat is binne die kamer nie ... Hy weet niks behalwe dat sy eienaar hier binne was en toe ek die deur oopmaak het hy ingespring het sonder enige vrees.” “Ek weet min van wat aan die anderkant van die dood is, maar ek weet een ding. Ek weet my Meester is daar en dit is genoeg vir my.”
Saying 'I'm wrong' is meaningless unless it comes from our heart, not just our lips. That often requires a genuine and profound change within ourselves, because we need to realize it's simply human nature and that everyone makes mistakes. Richard M. DeVos 3
With the advent of digital, few people opt to wear a "regular watch" these days. There are fewer people now who prefer to wear a traditional watch; and fewer who collect. Those that do collect them have an abject interest in the inner workings of a watch. Others find joy in collecting the most expensive ones. Here is the most expensive watch in the world currently. Graff diamond's hallucination, US$55 million Perfect for those who love things OTT, The Hallucination by Graff Diamonds is truly a statement piece. This watch is expensive for not as much as its inner workings, but the fact that it has 110 carats of extremely rare colored diamonds. According to the Graff Diamonds website, this design was worked upon by John Graff himself along with gemologists and craftsmen over thousands of hours. 4

Amy Gorin Aquafaba Aquafaba is the liquid in canned pulses such as chickpeas, lentils, and beans. Instead of draining the liquid, consider the numerous ways you can use it, suggests Toby Amidor, MS, RD, a best-selling cookbook author. “It can be used as an egg replacement by whisking the liquid until it is white and foamy, in a homemade vegan mayo when combined with vinegar, mustard, salt, and oil, or as a vegan dairy-free chocolate mousse when whipped aquafaba is combined with unsweetened cocoa powder and melted dark chocolate,” she says, adding, “As a bonus, the aquafaba provides nutrients like protein and minerals.” Try aquafaba in hummus, vegan cookies, or brownies. 5

Nicole Martins Ferreira Shapewear Shapewear is shaping up to be one of the best evergreen niches to start a business in. For the second year in a row, this product category has made the list. By 2022, the shapewear market is expected to skyrocket to about $5.6 billion in sales. What started as an undergarment has evolved into a piece of everyday wear. Fashion retailers are also stocking their stores with bodysuits that help create a slimming silhouette. Though shapewear is still popular within the lingerie industry where it first emerged, the shapewear niche offers women a variety of different styles that can either be worn under clothing with different cuts or as a top. What makes this product worth considering is that it offers retailers a lot of versatility: whether you sell lingerie, women’s fashion, or want to add this category to an existing general apparel store, you’ll be able to find shapewear in different colors, styles, and sizes to meet the needs of your diverse customer base. You can sell trending products like this high-waist shapewear, which has generated over 2,000 sales in July of 2019. It has a seamless design and creates a visibly slimmer figure for your customers.

Sean Kirst High school students have a lot more power than they may realize. It was only a dollar. Dylan Belscher noticed it on the floor as he sat at the back of his English class at John F. Kennedy High School in Cheek-towaga, New York, in March 2018. When the school day ended, Belscher wandered back to the classroom. The wrinkled old bill was still there. He could easily have pocketed it without thinking twice. Instead, he picked it up and brought it to his English teacher, -Katie Mattison. “It wasn’t my money,” Belscher says, which he sees as ample explanation. Mattison, 54, was a little surprised he’d turned the dollar in, knowing a lot of people would have just kept it. She suggested that Belscher tape it to the whiteboard at the front of the classroom, where she always puts lost things. Maybe the dollar was lunch money or bus fare for the student who dropped it. “You can always tell when someone is looking for something,” Mattison says. A day or two later, the school shut down for Easter break. Neither the teacher nor her student thought twice about the dollar. Taping it up “was just good karma,” says Belscher. Hunter Rose, then a senior, was in English class after break when he spotted the dollar on the whiteboard. There was a mystery to it, Rose says. After class, he asked Mattison why it was there. She was still waiting for the original owner to claim it, so she replied, “I don’t know.”
Rose took the tape from Mattison’s desk and taped a second dollar to the board. That got it rolling. The sight of the two dollar bills, side by side, triggered something in Mattison’s students. They started asking about the purpose of the money, to which Mattison always gave the same answer: She didn’t know. At that point, it was absolutely true. More students, intrigued, taped up single dollar bills. Mattison—a veteran teacher who recognized a phenomenon in the making—wrote the initials of each student on each specific bill, and she started to leave the tape on the tray of the whiteboard. The effort snowballed. Even with no specific purpose, many students wanted to be part of whatever this was. Jake Braniecki, another senior, says everyone understood that the eventual plan for the dollars would be for “something good” and that their teacher “wasn’t going to do anything stupid with the money.” The students, among themselves, decided Mattison had some unspoken goal, some mysterious threshold at which she would reveal the secret. They figured bigger donations could only help them get there faster. Braniecki taped a $20 bill and a $10 bill to the whiteboard. Megan Makowski dug into her Christmas and birthday savings and taped up another $20. “I kept pestering her the whole time,” she said of her teacher. The amount continued to grow over several weeks, until it reached $175.76. As for the original dollar, the person who lost it never came looking. That left Mattison to decide upon the best resolution. She kept thinking about her brother-in-law, Jack Hains, a guy she describes as a wonderful human being who had been godfather to Mattison’s daughter, Tess. Eight years earlier, Jack had died of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a rare and devastating neurological disease. Three years after that, his sister, Jean Hains Grant, died of the same condition. Mattison told that story to all her classes. She explained that Jack had been married to her sister, Terry Stephan Hains, and that Terry raises money every spring for the ALS Therapy Development Institute, established to seek a cure for the disease. She asked the teens whether they minded if she donated the dollars in their names in honor of Jack. Their answer was to tape enough money to the whiteboard over the next few days to push the amount to $321.06. Mattison, choking back tears as she recalls the moment, says she carefully peeled the cash off the board and made the donation just before the beginning of May, which is National ALS Awareness Month. That was Saturday. By Monday afternoon, eight more dollars had been taped to the board. Editor’s note: After this story was published in the Buffalo News, JFK High School graduates, Mattison’s fellow teachers, and other members of the community sent Mattison more donations. By the end of the school year, they’d raised more than $1,300. “That was a special moment in time with a special group of kids who were intrigued by the mystery of what was unfolding and wanted to be a part of it,” Mattison says. 9

Jenny Stanley Your garage can store more than your car, but keeping this item there could be downright dangerous. Paint Extreme heat and extreme cold can alter paint formulas. So if the temperature in your garage is a rollercoaster throughout the year, it’s not an ideal place for storing your leftover paint. Check the paint can label for recommended storage temperatures. But if your paint happens to freeze during the winter, it’s not necessarily ruined. Make sure that you store it upside down, too.

Nurses spend their work lives caring for the sick—you’d better believe they know how to keep from getting sick themselves! Here are a common health mistake nurses try NOT to make. Borrowing a swipe of lip balm “Sharing makeup or Chapstick is the quickest way to spread cold sores and other infections,” says Ingmire. “If I have an eye infection and you use my mascara, you’re getting it. And, if I keep using my own infected makeup, I’ll keep infecting myself!” So it’s important not to share makeup, and to throw yours away and replace it after an infection. 13

Spoel met verleentheid, skaamte, woede of vreugde is 'n natuurlike reaksie van ons liggaam. Verantwoordelik hiervoor is die outonome senuweestelsel. Dit beheer alle prosesse wat nie onder ons wil val nie en wat ons dus nie bewus kan beheer nie. Dit sluit hoofsaaklik in die sogenaamde belangrike funksies soos asemhaling, sirkulasie, metabolisme en waterbalans. Simpatiese en parasimpatiese Twee senuwee toue speel 'n belangrike rol in spoel: aan die een kant is die simpatiese ry, aan die ander kant, die strelende parasimpatiese senuweestelsel. Beide senuweestrekke balanseer gewoonlik mekaar uit. Die parasimpatiese Dit is hoofsaaklik verantwoordelik vir die feit dat ons liggaam homself kan herleef. Byvoorbeeld, dit beheer slaap of vertering en uitskeiding. As ons in 'n stres situasie is, is dit simpatieke aktiewe. Hy stel ons op waaksaamheid, berei ons voor vir vlug of aanval. Die hart klop vinniger, die bloeddruk styg, adrenalien word vrygestel. Die bloed skiet nie net meer in die spiere nie, maar ook in ons brein en dus in die kop. Die gevolg hiervan is: ons bloos. Bloos: Normale liggaamsreaksie Bloosing is 'n normale reaksie van die liggaam en dit is hoe jy dit moet hanteer - normaal en sonder paniek. Maar aangesien jy nie sy rooi kop kan wegsteek nie, moet jy hom met selfvertroue bely. Die ander mense weet nie hoekom hulle bloos nie. Dit kan net opwinding of afwagting wees. Daarbenewens word bloos ook dikwels as simpatiek beskou. Enigeen wat met selfvertroue sy bloos kan aanvaar, kan ook opmerklike kommentaar aanvaar. Voorkom bloos in die gesig 'N Wenk oor hoe om te voorkom dat dit rooi word, is: doen net 'n ontspanningsoefening: 15
