Moonstone is a semi-precious Feldspar mineral that is most commonly seen as a white stone with a bluish sheen. Also known as Ceylonese Opal, Girasol, Fish-Eye, Aphroselene, Chandrakanta and Wolf’s-Eye, the moonstone was named after the moon due to the similarities between the moon’s glow and the stone’s adularescence. The adularescence is the blue color sheen that is seen when light is reflected from the stone. Moonstones, though most commonly white, can also be colorless, silver to grey, green

we want to build a world class supply base for the future, so we’ll be working with the most proactive suppliers on this agenda to explore how we will continue to support each other for the future. For us, sustainability isn’t about reinventing the wheel – it’s just what we do. It’s also part of what Walmart – our global family – does. And when you are part of the biggest retailer in the world, you have an opportunity – and a responsibility – to make a difference.” Sarah Miskell, external affairs

was also at the fair and pressed the button signaling the opening of the Chicago World's Fair. The one thing that surprised me the most was this ride called the Ferris Wheel. I have never seen anything like it before, it is like a big wheel that spins in a circle and you can ride in it. For every person that road in the Ferris Wheel they received a free sample of Cracker Jack, which was weird version of popcorn. The second day of the fair I was interested in seeing a show called Buffalo Bill's

willing to pay more for the quality. People surveyed were willing to pay between $1,001 and $1,500 for the chronometer (SOCC) certified watches. So my conclusion is that we should invest money in purchasing a Poising machine to poise the balance wheel that determines the accuracy of the movement in various positions. We also need to invest in purchasing movement holders that help in better assembling the watch that in turn improves the movement of the watch in different positions. Lastly I also

I personally feel that there is substantial respect to be gained by pursuing the field of Mechanical Engineering. The diversity present in this field has attracted me and it is consistent with my enthusiasm for Mathematics and Science. It has a lot of scope as well. I have gone through the entire course and the specific areas, which interested me, were Robotics and Project Design. I know what a career in Engineering is like, since I have done an internship as a Engineer in MTA. I have been quite

because all you need to do is feed it cotton, and spin the wheel. There are eight spindles compared to the single spindle what we had in the previous Spinning Wheel providing up to eight times increased productivity. One end of the cotton is tied to the spindles, while the other end is clamped down on the other side. There is a giant wheel on the right side of the machine that u=is connected to the spindles. When the user spins the wheel the spindles spin which creates the spun cotton. For example

Advertising affects what consumer buy. Ads appeal us many reasons. For example, in the two ads I found for hair-care stuff. The Beachblonde ad is more effective than Frizz-Ease ad because of its use of propaganda, its use of color, its layout. First of all, the Beachblonde ad uses many propaganda devices. For example it uses some loaded words like ‘blonde’, ’shine’, ‘sun-kissed’. But Frizz-Ease uses only ‘amazing’. In addition, Beachblonde ad uses many glittering generalities. ‘Now, anyone can be
