Rubies for Valentine’s Day

Ruby is a red gem that’s been a favorite since ancient times, but most of the rubies used in today’s jewelry are either synthetic or gems that have been treated in some way to improve their appearance. One way to get a natural ruby is to find it yourself. A few years ago we visited a ruby mine in Franklin, North Carolina, and spent the day looking for rubies and sapphires — both are members of the same mineral family. The rubies you find yourself probably won’t be of high quality, but it’s a lot of fun to search for them and then have a local craftsperson cut and set them for you. If you’re not near a mine, or would rather buy something ready-made, there are plenty of other choices, like this collection of ruby jewelry.

Telepresence World 2008 to Examine Technological Solutions to the New Complexity of Global Finance
Comments from Analyst Firm Frost & Sullivan and mini case-study from an HP Halo Client.
London, United Kingdom, February 10, 2008 –(PR.com)– Financial institutions of all sizes are quickly realising the vast benefits telepresence technology offers (live and face-to-face virtual meetings). Many financial institutions are, by design, very geographically distributed to increase their opportunity to reach new markets and potential clients. However, increased numbers of localised branches means that core resources become widely distributed. The use of telepresence can significantly reduce time, travel costs and time to market for new products, while increasing productivity, customer experience and revenue.

11 Year Old Haley Ham Helps Pass Senate Bill
Haley Ham Spends a Year Getting Safer Anti-Freeze Law Passed To Protect Animals and Children
knoxville, TN, February 10, 2008 –(PR.com)– After loosing her best friends (2 dogs named Sam & Jessie) due to anti-freeze poisoning, Haley Ham searched for a way to not let the same thing happen to someone else’s animals or worst their children. Haley immediately learned of a bittering agent, called denatonium benzoate. When added to anti-freeze, this normally sweet tasting toxin turns bitter which deters animals and children from drinking more of the lethal poison. The only problem with this solution was that there were no current laws requiring makers of anti-freeze to add this agent into their product. This did not stop Haley Ham. For the past year she has worked diligently to support and pass Tennessee Senate bill 2399. This bill would require anti-freeze companies to put denatonium benzoate in every anti-freeze product they make.
