No more cancer
23 may 2014
(PolishedPrices) - Reading a report about a study conducted by doctors from the University of California, which concluded that cancer should be renamed to avoid worry, made me wonder, if instead, you could tell the poor victims that they have a common cold.

Global diamond jewelry retail sales grew by 3-4 percent from $72.1 billion to $74.48 billion, just skirting the $75 billion level. The pipeline's real story, however, plays itself out internally within the value chain: the industry’s performance in 2013 significantly improved over 2012.
