NEW YORK, NY, May 17, 2011 (Press-News.org) Civilizations have always embraced jewelry as a way of expressing an idea, a concept, a statement, and today's society is replete with rich examples of the aforementioned. From tattoos to fine jewelry, people have experimented with various mediums to express themselves and convey a message that is uniquely theirs. It is a form of communicating one's individuality and sometimes a way to express one's association with an idea or even one's membership on the conceptual level at least, in some social stratification construct. All at once, subtly or sometimes not, jewelry on a person says "look at me" and "this is who I am".
Diamonds have long been the standard bearer for all things fine and grand, an idea that holds true to this day. So valued is the diamond that it has shaped nations, and has defined how people perceive style, wealth, prestige and status. The bigger, the better, assuming it passes prescribed criteria for color, clarity, cut and the aforementioned size, carat. Diamonds impart an otherworldly impression, and its sparkle and facets continue to amaze even the well heeled. Yet through the years, there is little to distinguish between these gems, apart from the four Cs that dominate diamond valuation and by extension influence how people view their relative status in the diamond hierarchy.
With its line of fine jewelry and unique engagement rings, Diamond in the Rough has taken the world by storm, mesmerizing jewelry aficionados with a fashionable brand featuring rough diamonds front and center, celebrating the unique beauty bestowed upon the stones by Mother Nature herself. Diamond in the Rough's master jewelers skillfully make each unique design around the rough diamond, bringing it to life and creating that truly one-of-a-kind piece that conveys a message in a way that no other jewelry can. Few can come close to the sense of individualism, the allure of uniqueness and the excitement of style that Diamond in the Rough fine jewelry imparts upon its discerning owners. Buyers of fine jewelry have embraced the idea of rough diamonds, and the rise in demand has led Diamond in the Rough to add an e-commerce component to their website recently.
"We believe that our approach to crafting fine jewelry, specifically our decision to feature natural rough diamonds, our meticulous craftsmanship, and our creative energy has changed the way that people view fine jewelry and engagement rings in the diamond landscape. By exemplifying femininity & sensuality, we have developed a lifestyle brand with a world-wide following," expresses Anjanette Dienne Clisura, President & Creative Director of Diamond in the Rough.
In a world of princess cuts, uniform facets and perfecting color, few jewelers truly celebrate the mystery of rough diamonds exactly as they were formed by nature. Diamond in the Rough was created to bring our earth's artwork center stage. The team behind the company, Daniel Eskapa and Anjanette Dienne Clisura, anxiously await each rough diamond purchase because they never know what nature will offer.

A good story can trump a bad credit score in peer-to-peer lending
2011-05-17
These days a bad credit score will get you turned away by a bank, but if you tell a good story about that score, you can improve your chances of getting a microloan from a peer-to-peer lender, according to new research from Rice University and the University of Delaware.
The researchers found that in peer-to-peer lending, unverifiable information such as personal narratives and explanations affected lending decisions above and beyond objective, verifiable information such as credit scores and histories.
In two new studies, researchers analyzed data from Prosper.com, ...
MIT News: When is it worth remanufacturing?
2011-05-17
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- It seems like a no-brainer: Remanufacturing products rather than making new ones from scratch — widely done with everything from retread tires to refilled inkjet cartridges to remanufactured engines — should save a lot of energy, right?
Not so fast, says a new study by researchers at MIT.
In some cases, the conventional wisdom is indeed correct. But out of 25 case studies on products in eight categories done by a team led by Professor of Mechanical Engineering Timothy Gutowski, there were just as many cases where remanufacturing actually cost more ...

OU graduate student developing solutions for water problems in Ethiopia
2011-05-17
A University of Oklahoma environmental science graduate student will travel to Ethiopia in June to test materials she has been investigating as possible solutions to fluorosis—a widespread problem in the Rift Valley, where high levels of fluoride in the drinking water result in dental and skeletal disease.
Laura Brunson, graduate student in the OU College of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science, works with researchers in the OU Water Center on global water challenges, specifically fluorosis. Left untreated, fluorosis causes darkening of the teeth and bone deformities. ...
Happiness has a dark side
2011-05-17
It seems like everyone wants to be happier and the pursuit of happiness is one of the foundations of American life. But even happiness can have a dark side, according to the authors of a new review article published in Perspectives on Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. They say that happiness shouldn't be thought of as a universally good thing, and outline four ways in which this is the case. Indeed, not all types and degrees of happiness are equally good, and even pursuing happiness can make people feel worse.

2011-05-17
ATS 2011, DENVER – According to a new study conducted by researchers in Connecticut, the Wii Fit™ offers patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) an effective workout – and one that, because it is enjoyable, patients are more likely to use.
"Our study showed that COPD patients exercised at a relatively high percent of their maximum during three to five minutes of specified Wii Fit™exercises, indicating the Wii™ Fit may be a reasonable home-based exercise regimen for COPD patients," said Jeffrey Albores, MD, Internal Medicine Resident, University of ...

New prostate cancer test more specific, sensitive than PSA test
2011-05-17
A new test for prostate cancer that measures levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) as well as six specific antibodies found in the blood of men with the disease was more sensitive and more specific than the conventional PSA test used today, according to a study by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The test, called the A+PSA assay, also reduced the rate of false-positives, tests that indicate the presence of cancer when no disease is actually present, said Gang Zeng, an associate professor of urology, a Jonsson Cancer Center researcher and ...
How can a colorblind animal change its colors to blend into the background?
2011-05-17
U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY, WEST POINT, N.Y.—How could a colorblind animal know how to change its skin color to blend into its surroundings? And what will the animal's predator "see," looking at its prey before and after it hides?
These provocative questions are addressed in article published today by a collaborative team from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Mass., and the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y. The article, "Hyperspectral imaging of cuttlefish camouflage indicates good color match in the eyes of fish predators," appears in Proceedings ...
New solar product captures up to 95 percent of light energy
2011-05-17
Efficiency is a problem with today's solar panels; they only collect about 20 percent of available light. Now, a University of Missouri engineer has developed a flexible solar sheet that captures more than 90 percent of available light, and he plans to make prototypes available to consumers within the next five years.
Patrick Pinhero, an associate professor in the MU Chemical Engineering Department, says energy generated using traditional photovoltaic (PV) methods of solar collection is inefficient and neglects much of the available solar electromagnetic (sunlight) spectrum. ...
