The US also has more deaths from gun violence than any other developed country per capita.
[1/2] An employee shines a light at the 55.22 carat "The Estrela de Fura" ruby, the largest in the world and expected to fetch up to $30 million in an upcoming New York auction, during a preview at Sotheby's, in Hong Kong, China April 17, 2023. REUTERS/Lam YikHONG KONG, April 17 (Reuters) - The largest ruby in the world to come to auction will be offered by Sotheby's in New York in June, the auction house said at a preview in Hong Kong on Monday, and is estimated to achieve more than $30 million. That would probably make the 55.22-carat gem, known as the Estrela de Fura, the most expensive ruby ever sold at auction, said Uni Kim, a specialist in Sotheby's jewellery department in the Asian financial capital. The current world record for a ruby sold at auction was set in May 2015 by "Sunrise Ruby," a 25.59-carat Burmese stone that fetched $30.3 million at Sotheby's in Geneva. "We estimate Estrela de Fura to be sold in excess of $30 million," Kim added.

A batch of fives and sixes simply means that it was a stupid word in the first place. It pains me to admit that I’m not terrific at Wordle. I’m the Spike Owen of Wordle. I always thought it was KARAT, with a K. But I’ve already eliminated K, thanks to ROCKY. I rate this Wordle two out of five stars because I know that my sister-in-law is about to beat me.
LONDON, April 9 (Reuters) - The ceremony for King Charles's coronation at Westminster Abbey in London on May 6 will involve historic regalia ranging from sceptres and maces to a ring and a spoon. It replaced an original crown believed to date back to the 11th century Anglo-Saxon king of England, Edward the Confessor. SOVEREIGN'S SCEPTRE WITH DOVEThis is the second sceptre used in the ceremony, representing the sovereign's spiritual role. The bejewelled Sword of Offering, made for the coronation of George IV in 1821, is one of the objects used during the coronation ceremony. They date back to 1661 and have been used at every coronation from King Charles II’s until King George VI’s in 1937, with new armills specially prepared for Queen Elizabeth in 1953.

How would you feel about giving, or receiving, a 4-carat engagement ring? Lab-diamond producers are putting them within reach, and (almost) nobody can tell they cost less than a Ferrari. Those rings are also funding an even bigger aspiration: putting diamonds into electronics. Walk into a jeweler these days and chances are you will be offered a lab-diamond option. It is an enticing one: Lab-grown diamonds have essentially the same chemical, optical and physical properties as mined diamonds, according to the Gemological Institute of America.
Billionaire Joseph Lau sold $3.2 million worth of luxury handbags at a Sotheby's auction. Lau is a prolific collector who's purchased roughly 1,500 Hermès bags, Bloomberg reported. The collection included one Chanel bag and 76 Hermès bags, including both the iconic Birkin and Kelly styles. Lau's collection extends beyond handbags to diamonds — including a $53 million 12-carat blue diamond — and art by Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Bloomberg reported. Lau has auctioned off other pieces in his collection over the years, including $20 million worth of art and fine wine.
Up until his death in 2020, Jack “Murf the Surf” Murphy remained most famous for the 1964 burglary of the American Museum of Natural History in New York, which netted its perpetrators a bagful of precious gems, including the 563-carat Star of India sapphire. It was the kind of story people like to tell. And retell. “I’d kept reading story after story about Murf where there’d be 15 paragraphs about this heist,” says journalist Nate Scott . “And in the 16th paragraph it would be like ‘Oh, and then he was convicted for murder.’”The prominence of the burglary on Murphy’s résumé wasn’t entirely an accident, not according to “Murf the Surf,” the four-part documentary series directed by R.J. Cutler (“A Perfect Candidate”) and available on MGM+ (formerly EPIX).

The CEO of a Scottish brewery said he paid over $500,000 to competition winners over a misleading advert. Brewdog claimed winners of a competition would get "solid gold" beer cans in social media posts. Some of Brewdog's tweets during the competition claimed that the beer cans were "solid gold," a claim that was incorrect. At least 25 winners complained to the Advertising Standards Agency after realizing the cans were not made of solid gold, but mostly composed of brass. "When I contacted them they told me the 'solid gold' claim was an error," he said.
The new GOP House majority will likely subpoena Hunter Biden as they dig into his business dealings. The career of Hunter Biden, on the other hand, has all the earmarks of a real one. Nor will it protect the Biden White House from potential fallout stemming from the Justice Department's own criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, which is ongoing. During Joe Biden's vice presidency, Hunter Biden was openly trading on the Biden family name. A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not respond to Insider's request for comment Friday about the looming possibility of a congressional inquiry.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II inspects a guard of honor at the Presidential palace in New Delhi during her visit to India in 1997. Queen Elizabeth II meets Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Buckingham Palace in London, England in 2015. “If you don’t see people mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth in India, (it is) because she doesn’t have that connection with the new generation of Indians,” Ravi Mishra said. Queen Elizabeth II meets Indira Gandhi at Hyderabad House in Delhi, India, in 1983. The proposition before this house is the principle of owing reparations … the question is: is there a debt?… As far as I’m concerned, the ability to acknowledge a wrong that has been done, to simply say sorry, will go a far, far, far longer way than some percentage of GDP in the form of aid,” Tharoor said.
Why lab-grown diamond sales are surging

He said March data showed the number of engagement rings sold that featured a manufactured diamond jumped 63% compared to last year, while the number of engagement rings sold with a natural diamond declined 25% in the same period. “The big fear in the natural diamonds industry is that consumers will start accepting lab-grown diamonds in engagement rings,” he said. “This is substantially less – as much as 73% cheaper – than a natural diamond of the same size, cut and clarity as the man-made diamond, which would cost $8,740,” he said. “A lab diamond is a real diamond, but maybe it took a few weeks to make it,” said Golan. There is, however, one important consideration for anyone buying lab-created diamonds: Man-made diamonds have little resale value.

Patru localități din raionul Leova vor beneficia în curând de apă potabilă la robinete. Datorită unui proiect european, în aceste localități și în orașul Leova va fi construit un sistem de apeduct modern cu o lungime totală de 99 de kilometri. După analizele preluate din alimentele și apa consumate de copii s-a constatat că apa era infectată. După ce vom da în exploatare apeductul, toate cele 690 de gospodării din Filipeni vor avea apă potabilă, iar asta va fi o mare realizare pentru noi”, spune alesul local. Mătușa Vasilisa Gangan are 79 de ani și își dorește foarte mult să aibă apă potabilă la robinetul din curte.
