			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gemstones, also called gems or jewel (in german language described as Edelsteine) , are valuable stones that are used in making jewelry or ornaments.</p>
<p><strong>What does Gemstone comprises of?</strong><br />
Well Gemstone is made of minerals and sometimes rocks and organic materials also. Rocks like lapis lazuli can be considered as gemstone and organic material like amber (in german are known as Bernstein) or jet can fall in the category of gemstones.</p>
<p><strong>What is grading in Gemstones?</strong><br />
Well grading is the method by which gemstones are distinguished based on the quality. The quality is checked in the laboratory, called AGL, hence grade the gemstones accordingly.</p>
<p><strong>In how many ways, gemstones are cut?</strong><br />
The gemstones that are cut in the shape of dome and are polished on the opposite sides of the facets are called cabochons. They are opal, variscite, turquoise etc. Also other way includes that some gemstones that are polished at the facets and cut by a faceting machine at exact angles and hence are transparent in looks. Also while cutting, proper consideration must be given as if angle is too shallow, then the light will not be reflected back to the viewer every time the light passes through the stone.</p>
<p><strong>Why are gemstones of different colors?</strong></p>
<p>First of all let us discuss the reason of any material being colorful. It&#8217;s because of white light i.e. daylight which is a combination of different colors of light. Whenever, light flows through any material, part of the light is absorbed while remaining part flows through. This remaining part, which is equal to white light minus the absorbed light, reaches the viewer&#8217;s eye and hence makes the object or material colorful. For Example: ruby is red as the blue, yellow, green colors present in white light are absorbed and only red is left which makes the ruby looks red. Also colors can be absorbed with the help of impurities. For instance: beryl which is colorless can be made to appear in two colors like green with the help of impurities like chromium impurities that changes beryl into emerald and pink i.e. pink morganite, with the help of addition of manganese impurity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the world of fashion, embroidery (which in German is described as <a href="http://www.hapek.de/">Stickerei</a>),  is the one of the most important instrument with which a designer demonstrates his/her creativeness. The Embroidery style used and the amount of the embroidery work done on the outfit exhibits the taste of the person who wears that specific designer&#8217;s work, and at the same time highlighting the creativeness of the designer. Therefore people are very specific while selecting their designers.</p>
<p>Many styles of stitches are used for embroidery these days. The first step to designing for any person is to memorize the basic stitches. A excellent knowledge of the basic stitches is a must for any designer to make various combination of beautiful embroidery designs and turn them into an art piece to be worn.The students are also taught different forms of embroidery designs and also about which kinds of outfits those designs would fit better. You will find conventional designs to go with traditional wear for weddings, festivals etc and formal designs to go with formal clothing which is less jazzy and more smart, to be worn in office or formal meetings or parties.</p>
<p>Every embroidery design that is created on any outfit describes the whole outfit in some way or the other, relating it to the occasions that it has to be worn on. The vital role of the fashion designer here is to make sure that the embroidery design he/she is designing in order to make a perfect outfit should match the occasion and the place it&#8217;s going to be worn; and make sure it does not look out of place.</p>
<p>The free embroidery designs that are to be created on any outfit or artifact must be decided upon with a lot of care. Also the colors that are going to be used in the embroidery design should be in good contrast to the color of the fabric being used to make that clothing. The fashion designers most important and vital place to show off their creativity is the embroidery designs that is selected and crafted with neatness and elegance his/her creativeness.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this article we will provide you some great ideas that you can easily implement to attract more birds to your birdhouses.</p>
<p>First, as with humans, food is always a popular way to attract birds to your birdhouses (in german language also called as <a title="Vogelhäuser" href="http://www.maggu.de/wenn-sie-ein-vogelhaus-kaufen-wollen/">Vogelhaus</a>). You can provide different kinds of food to cater to different types of species of birds. Some of these food include nectars, small insects, fruits, nuts and seeds. In addition to these food sources, you should also always provide fresh water to the visiting birds. Bird baths and small ponds are some good ways to provide the visting birds with water.</p>
<p>The fastest way to a bird&#8217;s heart is through its stomach. By providing food and water to the birds, you are performing bird feeding. Bird feeding is also a great way to observe different species of birds and their respective unique characteristics. Bird feeding is particularly important to birds because it provides them with a source of food and water during periods when food and water are scarce such as winter time. However, bird feeding can be done all year round as it supplements the visiting birds with their food needs. As such, its a great way to attract more birds to your birdhouses and backyard.</p>
<p>So how can you use this knowledge to attract more birds to your birdhouses and backyard ? For one, you can choose a safer spot in your backyard and set up a simple feeding station. The spot you choose should preferably be away from predators. You can take some precautionary measures to make the chosen spot safer like installing a ultrasonic cat deterrant and making sure there are no food near the spot so as to avoid attracting hungry animals. You can encourage birds to visit your feeding station by placing bird food in different areas around the feeding station. You can then vary the distance and shorten it as time goes by.</p>
<p>As mentioned, you don&#8217;t have to build or buy an elaborated feeding station. The most important factor that your feeding station should have is the ease in which you can maintain it. It should be easy to refill, it should display the food prominently to birds, it should also hold a reasonable amount of food so you do not have to keep topping it up with food and finally it should be able to hold more then one bird at one time. Some of the simple feeding station you can consider buying would be the tube-feeder in which the seeds stay dry and its design prevents spillage of food or you can choose the hopper type of bird feeders which dispenses food automatically when they are needed.</p>
<p>As for water, it is essential if you want to attract more birds to your birdhouses. You should note that different species of birds have different requirements of how deep they like their water source to be. For example, some species of birds like small puddles while other birds like bird baths that are relatively deep. Providing various depths of water will attract different species of birds. However, do take note that your water depth should not be more then 2 inches deep as some birds may drown and do not choose a bird bath with an elaborated and striking pattern or design at the bottom of the bath as it may confuse the birds and discourage them from using the bird bath.</p>
<p>Besides all the points mentioned above, you should also keep in mind the number one factor that influences the attractiveness of your birdhouse to visiting birds. What&#8217;s the number one factor that people always don&#8217;t take note ? Its the safety of your birdhouses to the visiting birds. If you are attracting a certain kind of species of bird, customize the entrance opening hole of the birdhouse to suit just the species of bird you want to attract. Removable of birdhouse perches and the reduction of backyard predators also play a big part in making your birdhouse safer and more attractive to birds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Die SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete und frühere Bundesjustizministerin, Brigitte Zypries, hält es für einen klaren Gesetzesverstoß, wenn Firmen wie Dekra, der TÜV Süd und der TÜV Thüringen nach dem Führerscheinverlust sowohl Vorbereitungskurse als auch die MPU, den sogenannten <a href="http://www.jarling.de/abstinenznachweise-fur-die-mpu/">Idiotentest</a>, anbieten.</p>
<p>Die Fahrerlaubnisverordnung untersage diese Praxis, sagte Zypries der Frankfurter Rundschau (Donnerstagausgabe). Praktiziert wird dies jedoch unter anderem in Hessen, wo die Firma Gomobil 400 Euro teure Vorbereitungskurse zur Fahreignung anbietet. Gomobil ist nach FR-Recherchen ein 100-prozentiges Tochterunternehmen des TÜV Hessen, der wiederum per MPU über die Wiederzulassung zur Verkehrsteilnahme entscheidet. “Ich finde es sehr problematisch”, sagt Zypries der FR, “dass durch einfallsreiche Unternehmenskonstruktionen der Eindruck entsteht, dass der TÜV Hessen Geld von der einen Hand in die andere schiebt.”</p>
<p>Zypries forderte Bundesverkehrsminister Peter Ramsauer (CSU) auf, “endlich durchzugreifen”. Das Verkehrsministerium indes sieht sich nicht am Zuge: Die Unternehmen seien gefordert, das Trennungsgebot umzusetzen. Ramsauer verfolge dies aufmerksam. “Es gibt eine klare personelle und unternehmerische Trennung zwischen den Gutachten und den Vorbereitungskursen”, betonte denn auch der zuständige Geschäftsführer des TÜV Hessen, Horst Ziegler, gegenüber der FR. Gomobil sei zwar ein Tochterunternehmen, aber in keinster Weise eingebunden in die <a href="http://www.rumis.de/fakten-uber-das-verkehrspsychologische-mpu-gesprach/">MPU</a>. “Unsere Gutachter sind überdies klar angewiesen, keine konkreten Anbieter von Vorbereitungskursen zu empfehlen.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bands haben prominent in Verlobung und Ehe seit prähistorischen Zeiten abgebildet. In der Tat wäre es schwer, sich auf eine Verlobung und Hochzeit ohne die Anwesenheit von Bands tragen.Aufgrund ihrer langen Geschichte, die Verwendung und die Funktionen der Ehering und Verlobungsring werden oft miteinander vermischt. Aber sollte es berücksichtigt werden, dass obwohl diese Schmuckstücke gemeinhin unter den verheirateten Frauen gesehen werden, sie zutiefst voneinander in vielen Aspekten.</p>
<p>Zur Ermittlung der Unterschiede der Eheringe und <a href="http://www.trauringe-tipps.de/">Verlobungsringe</a>, werfen wir einen genaueren Blick auf ihre einzelnen Funktionen. So einfach es ausdrückte, ist ein Verlobungsring von dem Mann auf die Frau vor ihrer Ehe, um zu bedeuten, dass sie verpflichtet sind, verheiratet zu sein gegeben. Auf der anderen Seite, Eheringe die Schmuckstücke ausgetauscht werden und getragen von dem Paar während ihrer Hochzeit ihre Ehe Gelübde Siegel.<br />
Gleich nach der Hochzeit und für die Jahre, dass ihre Ehe zu folgen, die Hochzeit und das Engagement Bands würden, sind von der Frau getragen, während der Mann trägt nur den Ehering, da Männer nicht unbedingt einen Verlobungsring zu tragen.</p>
<p>Zwischen Wedding und Engagement Bands, viele Paare lieber auf Engagement Bands investieren.In der Tat ist ein Verlobungsring mehr Aufmerksamkeit erregen als ein <a href="http://www.verlobungsringe-guide.de/">Ehering</a>, weil es irgendwie eine stille Ankündigung der soon-to-Status der verheirateten Paare. Traditionell haben die Bands Engagement hervorstehenden Steinen Zentrum der Regel aus feinen Diamant Schmuck gemacht. In dem Augenblick jedoch, dass Paare nicht zu Bands, die Verlobung mit Diamant-Steine, vielmehr als eine weniger teure Option sie andere Edelsteine wie Rubin, Saphir, Opal, etc. nutzen konnten, akzentuiert sind zu kaufen, da das Zentrum Stein der Verlobungsring.</p>
<p>Inzwischen ist Ehering oft plain in Design und Verarbeitung, oder zu Zeiten als die einfachere Version der Verlobungsring konzipiert. Allerdings gibt es auch Paare, die Verwendung von feinen Diamant-Schmuck zu machen für ihre Eheringe, obwohl dies selten der Fall, als die schlichte Design solcher Ring symbolisiert die Heiligkeit der Ehe. Traditionell werden sowohl Verlobungs-und Bands auf der linken Finger zwischen Zeige-und kleinen Finger Finger getragen, weil nach Überzeugung der genannten Finger der linken Hand hat der Vene, die direkt mit dem Herzen, als Vena amori aufgerufen wird, verbunden. Obwohl es einige Kulturen, die ihre Hochzeit und Engagement Bands Platz auf dem Ringfinger der rechten Hand auf.</p>
<p>Wedding Bands und Engagement sind in der Regel getrennt voneinander erworben. Sie könnten auch als Set gekauft werden, daher sind einige Eheringe als aufwendig, als die Verlobung Bands kommen sie mit gestaltet. Wenn Sie den Kauf werden diese Bänder getrennt, versuchen immer zu bedenken, dass Sie wäre mit ihnen auf einer täglichen Basis, so dass, wenn Sie zu jedem Stück Pick wählen Sie die Form des Edelsteins, die Ihrem Lebensstil ergänzen würde. Diamond kann hart sein, aber es ist am wahrscheinlichsten, abplatzen oder brechen vor allem, wenn seine Kanten hingewiesen werden, es wäre besser geeignet, um Bands, die Runde brillant geschliffenen Steine in sie eingebettet sind, wie sie abholen eher länger dauern werden.</p>
<p>Im Allgemeinen sind <a href="http://www.trauringeguide.de/">Ehering und Verlobungsring</a> zwei wichtige Schmuckstücke, dass zwei der wichtigsten Phasen in der Beziehung der Paare “,” Verlobung und Heirat symbolisiert. Sie haben zwar unterschiedliche Qualitäten, die sie deutlich von einander. Abgesehen von ihrer Unterschiede jedoch, was offensichtlich ist, dass sie das gleiche Konzept der unsterblichen Liebe und Engagement zu teilen, offenbar aus ihrer runden Form, die keinen Anfang und kein Ende hat, sowie die verwendeten Materialien, um sie zu entwickeln gezeigt. Sie fungieren auch als Material-Dichtungen, die ihre Gelübde und stärken die symbolische Bedeutung und Sentimentalität des Paares Hingabe füreinander.</p>
<p>Ehering und Verlobungsring sehr unterschiedlich in Aussehen und Funktion. Ein Verlobungsring ist vor der Ehe mit dem beschäftigt Status des Paares bezeichnen getragen. Traditionell Verlobungsring ist Kernstück der von feinen Diamant-Schmuck ist mit runder Brillantschliff.Mittlerweile sind die, die Eheringe von Paaren während Hochzeitszeremonien ausgetauscht, um ihre Ehe Gelübde Siegel. Solche Ring ist in der Regel ein einfaches Band oder soll das Thema der Verlobungsring passen, aber einfacher ist.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The best treatment for cancer is to prevent it from occurring. Research is ongoing to evaluate environmental and lifestyle factors that may be associated with an increased incidence of cancer. Identifying such risk factors may allow individuals to modify lifestyle choices in order to reduce their risk of developing cancer.</p>
<p>The Million Women Study in the United Kingdom involved over 1.3 million middle-aged women who responded to a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic and personal information, including alcohol consumption. These women were followed for several years in an effort to determine how reproductive and lifestyle factors affect <a title="Women's Health" href="http://www.health.al/tag/women/">women&#8217;s health</a>.</p>
<p>The current study used the data from just over 1.2 million of the women in the Million Women Study, excluding some women based on pre-existing cancers or because pertinent information was excluded on the questionnaire. About one-quarter of the cohort reported drinking no alcohol. Of the remaining women who reported consuming alcohol, 98% consumed fewer than 21 drinks per week, with the average being one drink per day. (Fewer than three drinks per day is considered low to moderate alcohol consumption.)</p>
<p>The women were followed for an average of 7.2 years, during which 68,775 invasive cancers occurred. Increased alcohol consumption was associated with increased risks of some cancers. With each additional drink consumed per day, the risk of breast cancer increased by 11%, oral cavity/pharynx cancer by 29%, esophageal cancer by 22%, larynx cancer by 44%, liver cancer by 24%, and total cancer by 6%.</p>
<p>The researchers concluded that low to moderate alcohol consumption increases the risk of certain cancers.Â Journal of the National Cancer Institute. 2009</p>
<p>Terramed Alliance is a non-profit charity organization dedicated to research, education and advocacy of breast cancer. One of the vision of Terramed Alliance is to provide this community and Internet users with a charity based research and education entity. Advocacy of breast cancer through education is vital to the reduction of this disease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eine <a href="http://www.auslandsversicherung.de">Reisekrankenversicherung</a> schützt vor den finanziellen Folgen teurer Behandlungen im Ausland. Ob es nun verdorbenes Essen ist, oder eine Glasscherbe am Sandstrand, ein Arztbesuch ist meist teuer.</p>
<p>Wichtig bei der Auslandsversicherung ist vor Abschluss zu prüfen, ob mit dem Reise-Zielland ein Sozialversicherungsabkommen besteht, dann ist eine zusätzliche Auslandskrankenversicherung meist nicht notwendig. Dies gilt natürlich nur für Personen die Mitglied einer gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung sind. Bei einem Aufenthalt z.B. in den USA ist eine <a title="Auslandsreisekrankenversicherung" href="http://www.mawista.com">Auslandskrankenversicherung</a> immer sinnvoll, da dort keine gesetzliche <a title="Reiseversicherung und Krankenversicherung" href="http://www.vergleich-reiseversicherung.de">Krankenversicherung</a> Leistungen erbringt und die Kosten sehr teuer sind. Auch die Rücktransportkosten sind bei der gesetzlichen Krankenkasse nicht mitversichert. Auch für privat Krankenversicherte mit einem hohen Selbstbehalt, kann der Abschluss einer Reisekrankenversicherung sinnvoll sein, auch wird eine eventuell Beitragsrückerstattung nicht gefährdet.</p>
<p>Ein Vergleich von Reisekrankenversicherungen lohnt immer. Der <a title="Reisekrankenversicherung VERGLEICH" href="http://www.auslandsversicherung.de/reisekrankenversicherung.html">Reisekrankenversicherungsvergleich</a> bezieht sich auf die Jahrespolice bis zu 56 Reisetagen je reise und auf Einmalreisekrankenversicherungen für bis zu 365 Tagen. Verglichen werden sowohl die Beträge für eine Reisekrankenversicherung aber auch die Versicherungsbedingungen.<br />
Das Sozialversicherungsabkommen besteht mit folgenden Ländern:</p>
<p>Belgien<br />
Bosnien-Herzegowina<br />
Dänemark<br />
Estland<br />
Finnland<br />
Frankreich (mit seinen überseeischen Departments Französisch-Guayana, Guadeloupe, Martinique und Réunion),<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The custom of the exchange of the <a title="Schmuck" href="http://www.trauringe-online.de"><strong>wedding rings</strong></a> (german: trauringe) at the time of marriage symbolizes the beginning of a new relationship. It is kind of opening to a new threshold of life. This is a custom that is being followed on for centuries from long past and is as much significant in the lives of the modern day men that it can easily be said that this is the ritual that would be carried on throughout centuries to come. In history it was seen as a ritual which indicates the sign of marriage before the exact or finale celebration or ceremony was held. The man and the woman exchange their rings to each other in order to convey that they are engaged to marry each other. With the marriage and the ring exchange ceremony it is believed that the souls of the bride and the groom get united with one another and thereby they become a single soul. This is a belief that is still prevalent even in these days.</p>
<p>Speaking of the beliefs regarding the wedding there are some special beliefs and ideas regarding the wedding throughout the passage of time. But the fact is that some of these beliefs are existent even in today’s modern world. One of such beliefs that came to be associated with the wedding ring is that of the choice of the finger to wear the wedding ring. The belief is that the ring should be worn on the fourth finger of the left hand for the reason as many people has the faith that the fourth finger of the left hand contains a nerve that originates from that finger and goes straight to the heart and therefore it is considered to be the ring finger. Similar to that there are also several other faiths and beliefs that came to be associated with the custom of wedding and the ring exchange ceremony.</p>
<p>As we look into the history we may find that the tradition of the wedding rings ( looks back past ages to the ancient Egypt. Egypt being the originator of several myths and mysteries owns the glory of being the starting point of the tradition of the wedding ring. With the passage of time this custom of the ring exchange ceremony spread out from Egypt and now in the present day context this is one of the most popular customs related with wedding and is followed in almost every culture and civilization and religion.</p>
<p>In earlier days the iron was meant to be the most favored choice for the metal for the wedding ring. This was the symbol of power and domination of man over woman. But as time passes the custom changed a lot and the metal for the ring turned on to gold or other such precious metals to add durability and beauty to the ring. And in the present day context there are a lot of choice like yellow gold, white gold, silver, platinum, titanium and other such metals that can be chosen as the base metal for the wedding ring. Similarly has changed the styling and the designing of the ring as well.</p>
<p>Wedding rings are the most important part of a person’s wedding; this wedding ring forms the bond between the husband and the wife as long as they are alive. The ritual of usingwedding bands for both men and women started a long time ago.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4" title="Gold Charm Bracelet" src="http://center.al/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gold-charm-bracelet.jpg" alt="Gold Charms" width="300" height="300" />Traditionally <strong>Gold charms</strong> have been added to charm bracelets to make wonderful <strong>jewelry</strong> items. While this is a great way to use charms, there are a lot of other options to give and use them as well. Knowing how to add them to gifts and party themes will allow you be really creative.</p>
<p>Instead of putting gold charms inside the gift box, you may want to consider using them on the outside. <strong><a title="Charms" href="http://www.thejewellershop.com/">Gold charms</a></strong> can easily be engraved and used as name tags instead of using cards or those small cardboard tags attached to the handles of gift bags.</p>
<p>Adding a personal message to the back of the charm really adds a little something to the gift. In addition they are also actually a big part of the present and can be added to any collection of gold charms on a bracelet at a later time.<span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p>For parties, gold charms can be used to designate seating arrangements in both formal and informal dinners and events. When using place setting cards, simply attach the gold charms with tape or ribbon the cards instead of printing on the names. Engraving the gold charms with everyone&#8217;s name and a special message is a great way to add to the festivity.</p>
<p>If you aren&#8217;t using place setting cards the gold charms can be placed directly on the plate as a decorative way to get everyone in the right chair at the table. They can also be tied with colorful ribbon or elastic thread and attached to wine or water glasses as a place marker.</p>
<p>Instead of using them as place settings or gift wrapping, bright elastic beading string or thread can be used to give each guest their own personalized charm bracelet at the party. Since the charms can be worn immediately, they are sure to be a hit and a great way to remember the event.</p>
<p>Kids always love a surprise and so do adults. If you are baking a cake for a birthday party, carefully wrap gold charms in parchment paper and seal. Slip these into the cake batter before baking and cut so everyone has a hidden charm to discover as they have their dessert.</p>
<p>There are so many different uses for gold charms in decorating and hosting. Being creative with gold charms is a wonderful way to give everyone a special reminder of the event that they can treasure on a bracelet for years to come.</p>
