If you've ever wished that beauty treatments could come to you at home instead of the other way around, then you have Venetia Archer to thank. In this episode of Style DNA, I sit down with the brilliant entrepreneur behind Ruuby, the concierge beauty app that has revolutionized the way we book and receive our treatments.A true multi-hyphenate, Venetia started out in the corporate world, where she quickly realized that busy women (herself included) needed a more flexible way to fit beauty into their schedules. And so, Ruuby was born—a service designed for the busy modern woman who barely has time to grab a coffee, let alone schedule a salon visit for a beauty treatment.Prior to founding Ruuby, Venetia worked as a geopolitical risk analyst, specialising in Somali piracy - and spent a stint in Kenya researching pirate gangs and negotiating with Somali pirates (yes, really) – and during that time she learned that fashion isn't just about looking good—it's a tool for power and confidence.We dive deep into her mother's influence on her personal style...lucky Venetia appears to have the perfect source of vintage designer pieces care of her mother's generous cast offs! We chat about how fashion has always been her armour—from boardroom battles to fundraising rounds. In the early days she admits to a bit of a rebellious ripped jean, cool jacket tech spirit and how now the armour of a great jacket and a heel are her go-tos when she wants to feel empowered. We discuss the joy of buying a “treat to self” to mark time or a deal …has anyone else discovered the sheer independent delight of that?Venetia is as sharp as she is stylish, and our chat is filled with gems…whether you're into beauty, business, or just love a great fashion story…Thank you Venetia for sharing your insights.

Jayda is joined by renowned fair fashion campaigner ,Venetia La Manna, to discuss sustainable fashion, climate justice, and ethical consumption. Venetia shares her journey from television production to social media activism, emphasising the need to dismantle oppressive systems within the fashion industry. They explore the misleading nature of 'sustainable fashion,' the concept of slow fashion, and the impact of social media on consumption habits. Venetia highlights her campaign 'Speak Volumes' and organisation 'Remember Who Made Them,' focusing on garment workers' rights and advocating for systemic change. Venetia also does an amazing job of breaking down the impact of patriarchy and sexism on consumerism and why for women, it can be particularly hard to break away from fast fashion, and her advice on holistic well-being and self-worth practices are at the heart of improving your relationship with fashion. Follow Venetia La MannaFollow Jayda GFollow Here's Hoping PodcastMore on our guest Remember Who Made Them Venetia La Manna (she/her) is a fair fashion campaigner. Through her social media platforms, Venetia challenges fashion brands who are costing the earth and calls out corporations on their unethical practices. A co-founder of Remember Who Made Them, which aims to energise a new solidarity economy in fashion; seeking to uplift the voices and demands of garment makers. In 2023, she presented a documentary called The Fast Furniture Fix for BBC Radio 4. She is featured in the Channel 4 documentary Inside Shein.

The guys return to Everglades National Park, again looking for a predator that Daniel wants to get too close to: the American Crocodile (Crocodylus acutus). Listen in as Daniel shares some research, busts croc-related myths, and Steve probably gets a little too excited about how crocs deal with salt water. Bill doesn't have much to say, but he's there, too. Enjoy!This episode was recorded on January 7, 2025 on the Bear Lake Trail in Everglades National Park. The last bit where the guys find the croc was also recorded in the Park, at the Flamingo Marina.Episode Notes and LinksAs promised during the episode, Steve is looking into how crocs process and excrete excess salt. As soon as he gets to the bottom of it, we'll share it here.In the meantime, here's what Bill found when he asked DeepSeek: Crocodiles, like many other marine and estuarine reptiles, have specialized salt glands to help them excrete excess salt from their bodies. These glands, known as salt glands or lingual glands (located on their tongues), actively transport salt ions (primarily sodium and chloride) from their bloodstream into the gland ducts. The salt is then excreted as a concentrated saline solution, which is expelled from the body.Crocodiles do not chemically change the salt (sodium chloride) into something else. Instead, they filter and concentrate it, allowing them to maintain proper electrolyte balance in their bodies, especially when living in saltwater environments. This process is crucial for osmoregulation, as it prevents dehydration and helps them survive in both freshwater and saltwater habitats.In summary, crocodiles excrete salt in its original form (sodium chloride) but in a highly concentrated solution, rather than transforming it into a different substance.Sponsors and Ways to Support UsGumleaf Boots, USA (free shipping for patrons)Thank you to Always Wandering Art (Website and Etsy Shop) for providing the artwork for many of our episodes.Support us on Patreon.Check out the Field Guides merch at our Teespring store.

Na še enem od zadnjih zemljišč znotraj nekdanjega obzidja rimske antične Emone, najbolj vzhodnega mesta takratne cesarske desete regije Venecija in Istra (Regio X. Venetia et Histria), ki jih je še možno raziskati zaradi pozidanosti, od oktobra potekajo arheološka izkopavanja dela območja prihodnje knjižnice NUK II ob križišču Zoisove in Slovenske ceste v Ljubljani. Srednjeveško Ljubljano (Luwigana) so v visokem srednjem veku zidali tudi z gradbenim materialom antične Emone, zato arheologi previdno odstranjujejo plast za plastjo gradnje in naravnega zasutja skozi stoletja. Vodja teh zaščitnih izkopavanj je arheolog Blaž Orehek iz Centra za preventivno arheologijo ZVKDS. Po predstavitvi za novinarje v sredo, 18. decembra, smo z njim posneli pogovor o rezultatih in predvsem spoznanjih tako teh zadnjih kot preteklih izkopavanj antičnega mesta, posebej pa območja prihodnje knjižnice NUK II.

De winterboekeneditie van Betrouwbare Bronnen weerspiegelt de turbulentie rond het leiderschap van deze tijd. Mark Rutte fietste weg van het Torentje, Dries van Agt stierf hoogbejaard na een rijk leven, van Ruud Lubbers kwam een monumentale biografie uit en Ruttes favoriete collega Angela Merkel schreef haar autobiografie. Olaf Scholz viel, net als Rishi Sunak en Michel Barnier. En met Dick Schoof kwam een premier aan het roer die lijkt op een romanfiguur van Robert Musil, Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger bespreken boeken die allerlei dimensies en verhalen bevatten over premiers, politieke leiders en hun leven en werk. En wat wij daarvan kunnen leren.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***1] Jaap de Haan - De eerste minister van de Republiek (Amsterdam University Press)Wie waren de Ruud en Mark van de Gouden Eeuw? Jaap de Haan promoveerde op het functioneren en regeren door de burgerlijke leider van die heel aparte staat, de Republiek, dus van de raadspensionaris. Hij laat zien, dat zij veel weg hadden van machtige mannen elders in Europa die onder een absolute monarch de touwtjes in handen hielden. Een Richelieu, een Cromwell of een Metternich.Johan van Oldebarnevelt maakte deze functie als geen ander en die machtspositie kostte hem letterlijk de kop. Johan de Witt kon regeren zonder een Oranjeprins en domineerde, hoewel hij Ruttiaans bescheiden deed. Toen ook hij ten onder ging in 1672 kwam de minder bekende Gaspar Fagel aan het bewind. En juist die blijkt in dit boek een erg leerzame en handige leider te zijn geweest. Met prins Willem III speelde hij good cop, bad cop. Zo pakten ze samen de stad Amsterdam aan!2] Robert Harris – Afgrond (Cargo)Een roman over een premier? Jazeker, en wat voor een. Robert Harris komt met een huzarenstukje, een spannende detective over waargebeurde verwikkelingen tussen de man in Downing Street 10 en een societygirl van adel.Herbert Asquith was obsessioneel verliefd en schreef Venetia Stanley honderden brieven terwijl de Eerste Wereldoorlog uitbrak. Staatsgeheimen, verslagen van de ministerraad, telegrammen van de tsaar, het rolde allemaal in haar brievenbus. Het is alsof Evelyn Waugh een Downton Abbey tv-serie schrijft vermengd met geopolitieke explosies en een gisse jongen van de Secret Service, die op het spoor komt van Venetia. Hoe loopt dit af?3] Remieg Arts, Coen Brummer, Gertjan Schutte (red.) – Machtswoorden (Prometheus)Premiers zijn vaak schrijvers. Hun woorden hebben impact. Als ideoloog, als strateeg, als memoiresauteur en soms zelfs als romancier. Denk maar aan Benjamin Disraeli! Machtswoorden is een rijk en origineel boek met een reeks essays over politici als auteurs en hoe schrijven en ook op die wijze boodschappen verspreiden door en door politiek kan zijn.De kinderboeken van Jan Terlouw, de duizenden krantenstukken van Abraham Kuyper, de sociale essays van Sam van Houten, politieke brochures tegen het koloniaal bewind in Indië en de persoonlijke worstelingen en belevenissen van de eerste generatie allochtone politici, het zijn allemaal bijzondere genres die soms van grote betekenis blijken voor politiek denken en handelen.Een verrassende ontdekking in de bundel is de radicale democraat en pro-Franse patriot Pieter Vreede. Hij was als politiek auteur buitengewoon actief en controversieel. Pleegde een staatsgreep, maar moest uiteindelijk na Napoleons val zoete broodjes bakken met het Oranjehuis. Een leven waarin vele regimes elkaar opvolgden en Vreede steeds weer zijn nek uitstak.4] Auke van der Woud - De steden, de Mensen 1850-1900 (Prometheus)Auke van der Woud is de Jürgen Osterhammel van ons land. Hij beschrijft de transformatie van Nederland in de 19e eeuw. Zijn boek analyseert hoe na 1850 het verpauperde land in een ongekende 'Tweede Gouden Eeuw' ontpopte tot een wereldwijd actieve, expansionistische economische macht.Hij maakt ook korte metten met legendes als die van de 'kanalenkoning' Willem I die zo'n vooruitziende blik zou hebben gehad. En analyseert waarom premier Thorbecke zo cruciaal was. Hij gaf bestuurlijk, economisch en logistiek het land een redesign en ontketende nieuwe economische en financiële krachten.Voor premier Schoof en minister Sophie Hermans is het deel van dit boek over de energietransitie van die decennia toen verplicht leesvoer. Wat Kees Vendrik in Betrouwbare Bronnen 471 'de grootste verbouwing van Nederland ooit' noemde, heeft een voorloper gehad, waarbij alle uitdagingen van nu zich evenzeer aandienden.5] Robert Caro - The Power Broker (Alfred A. Knopf) Als het gaat om boeken over mensen met macht en wat macht met mensen doet, kun je niet heen om Robert Caro. Zijn (tot nu toe) vier delen over LBJ zijn de legendarische gouden standaard van boeken over presidenten. Zijn boek The Power Broker is dat over bijna onzichtbare machtsdieren in het openbaar bestuur, zoals Robert Moses, de baas van openbare werken van New York City (1888-1981).Dat boek verscheen in 1974 en is nooit weggeweest uit de boekhandel. De vijftigste verjaardag is reden tot een expositie in het stadsmuseum van NYC, zo beroemd is Caro hiermee geworden. Voor Barack Obama heeft dit boek als student zijn visie op de politiek bepaald.Caro kreeg het bij verschijnen van het magnum opus aan de stok met de hoogbejaarde potentaat. Maar het boek is toch vooral ook een uiting van respect voor diens visionaire blik, zijn daadkracht, lef en finesse van manipulatie en politieke kracht. Moses was 'larger than life'. Net als LBJ en even energiek en meedogenloos. Wellicht dat ook daarom Mark Rutte zo'n fan is?6] Nancy Pelosi - The Art of Power (Simon & Schuster)Is zij de Robert Moses van DC? Een machtsdier, onstuitbaar energiek, gedreven, een 'living legend' ook? Nancy Pelosi was alleen allesbehalve onzichtbaar en ze ontleende haar macht wel aan verkiezingen.Haar boek over de kunst van de macht is zeer persoonlijk en vol lessen uit de meest kritische momenten in de vele decennia van haar leven als parlementariër en de eerste vrouw als voorzitter van het Huis. Ze komen allemaal langs, de Bushes, de Clintons, Trump, Xi, Poetin en de Obamas. Ze krijgen er soms ook stevig van langs, zeker als je goed tussen de regels doorleest!Uit dit boek leer je waarom de Republikeinen uiteraard de politieke tegenstander zijn, maar de Senaat de politieke vijand. Duidelijk schetst Pelosi waarom the Speaker zo'n beetje de raadspensionaris van Amerika is en dus een beetje de premier. Die bepaalt met het Huis de begroting en de wetten. Niet de president en zeker niet de Senaat.Een sterke Speaker kan een president maken of breken als deze 'de kunst van het mogelijke' bij machtsuitoefening beheerst. The Art of Power, zoals Otto von Bismarck het al noemde.Het boek begint en eindigt met grof geweld. Eerst de gijzeling en bijna moord van haar man Paul Pelosi in hun eigen huis in San Francisco en tot slot de bestorming van het Capitool op 6 januari 2021. Zij ziet die als een poging tot staatsgreep zoals in Latijns-Amerika en is ervan overtuigd dat zij dit alleen door een wonder heeft overleefd.7] Mathieu Segers - Europa en het idee uit de toekomst (Prometheus)Precies een jaar geleden brachten wij postuum een saluut aan professor Mathieu Segers die zo jong stierf, maar zelf nog zijn magnifieke boek over Europa aan ons had toegestuurd. Dat is nu vertaald: Europa en het idee uit de toekomst.Elke pagina van het boek schittert met verrassende inzichten en onbekende feiten en mensen uit de voorgeschiedenis van de Europese unie. Maar juist nu valt het begin zo op. Segers zag het moment gekomen dat Europa zich opnieuw moest uitvinden. Precies wat de ook in december 2023 overleden Jacques Delors zei en wat in het jaar na hun beider dood de kern werd van Mario Draghi's uitdagende rapport. Mathieu Segers was ook hier weer zijn tijd vooruit.***Verder kijkenTurn Every Page - The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb***Verder luisteren441 - Extra zomeraflevering: boekenspecial!395 - Vijf boeken en een afscheidsbrief363 - Extra zomeraflevering: PG tipt boeken!317 - Extra winteraflevering: PG tipt boeken!286 - Extra zomeraflevering: PG tipt boeken!269 - Vijf boeken die je moet lezen om Europa beter te begrijpen259 - De omgevallen boekenkast: leestips van PG!207 - Zomer 2021: Boekentips van PG!133 - Amerikaanse presidenten: boeken die je volgens PG móet lezen!99 - Tips voor thuis: de omgevallen boekenkast van PG!403 - Sam van Houten, een eeuw lang verrassend dwars274 - Thorbecke, denker en doener221 - Madam Speaker: de spijkerharde charme van Nancy Pelosi149 - De zeven levens van Abraham Kuyper, een ongrijpbaar staatsman40 - De geniale broers Von Humboldt***Tijdlijn00:00:00 – Deel 100:47:52 – Advertentie De Schrijverscentrale01:03:28 – Deel 201:17:25 – Deel 301:35:49 – Einde Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Israel has said there is progress in talks about a ceasefire and indicated Russia could play a part. On today's episode of Battle Lines, Venetia and Roland look at what this means and go over the latest news updates from around the region, including a voicenote from an aid worker fleeing northern Gaza and meetings between Iran and Saudi Arabia.They also chat to Reuters' Beirut Bureau Chief Maya Gebeily about how Lebanese politicians and citizens are coping with the fighting, what is behind Israel's increasing attacks on Syria, and why the conflict in Lebanon is her most difficult reporting assignment yet.ContributorsVenetia RaineyRoland OliphantMaya Gebeily (Reuters Beirut bureau chief) Hosted on Acast.

Today, we're diving into a world on the verge of collapse—where passion, politics, and peril collide in the summer of 1914. The world was inching toward the Great War, and in the heart of Britain, secrets were being exchanged that could have changed everything.Our guest today is the brilliant Robert Harris, whose latest novel, available on Apple Books, Precipice, masterfully intertwines history and fiction to bring this harrowing moment to life. Harris, renowned for his storytelling and meticulous research, takes us inside a clandestine affair between the British Prime Minister, H. H. Asquith, and the young, aristocratic Venetia Stanley. But this is far more than a tale of forbidden love—it's a thriller that exposes the fragility of power, the dangerous intersection of personal and political, and how the secrets of a single woman could threaten an entire nation.Asquith, caught between his obsession for Venetia and his responsibility to lead a nation into war, is a man crumbling under pressure. Meanwhile, Venetia, clever, bored, and reckless, is no victim but a woman caught in the very machinations of history—at a time when women couldn't even vote. But as war clouds gather over Europe, this private intrigue becomes a national security risk, and the stakes couldn't be higher.In Precipice, Robert Harris paints a vivid portrait of a society on the brink, capturing not just the politics but the people whose choices echo through history. Today, we'll discuss the extraordinary research behind this novel, the real-life affair that could have toppled a government, and the timeless lessons it offers for our world today.  My thanks to Robert Harris, author of the new book, Precipice, available at Apple Books.  Remember, Robert Harris also authored ‘CONCLAVE'film is releasing in theaters in early November.  The adaptation of Harris' book, starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, Sergio Castellitto, and Isabella Rossellini. Check it out. My thanks to our wonderful executive producer Sam Heninger.  My thanks to you our wonderful audience here on radio and podcast, Be well, be safe and Let's Talk About Better™.

15 ⁠When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter: Simon son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.Cum ergo prandissent, dicit Simoni Petro Jesus : Simon Joannis, diligis me plus his? Dicit ei : Etiam Domine, tu scis quia amo te. Dicit ei : Pasce agnos meos.⁠ 16 ⁠He saith to him again: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him: Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him: Feed my lambs.Dicit ei iterum : Simon Joannis, diligis me? Ait illi : Etiam Domine, tu scis quia amo te. Dicit ei : Pasce agnos meos.⁠ 17 ⁠He said to him the third time: Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he had said to him the third time: Lovest thou me?

He was elected pope on August 4, 1903. As chief pastor of the Church he realized to the full the value of the liturgy of the prayer of the Church and spared no effort to propagate the practice of frequent and daily Communion. He died on August 20, 1914 and was canonised on May 29, 1954.

In today's episode Lois speaks with the team responsible for devising and implementing a groundbreaking project to train certify and employ drone pilots with disabilities in South Africa. The team comprised Dean Conde, Elmarie Cronje, Kim James, and Venetia van Wyk, as well as the drone pilot participants Ferdi van Eerden and Sandile Mkhize.

Cinematographer Linus Sandgren believes that films don't always have to look pretty. “A film should look appropriate for the story we're telling. It's about communicating the emotions of the film. And that can be ugly.” For his latest project, Saltburn, the beautiful images counterbalance the evil within the main character, Oliver Quick. Oliver is an outsider at Oxford who grows obsessed with Felix Catton and his friends, who are effortlessly born to power and privilege. Director Emerald Fennell wanted to create a “vampire movie without vampires” due to Oliver's ability to latch on to Felix and his family. Linus met with Fennell, who described her vision of the film. She was influenced by the rich colors in Caravaggio paintings, the early vampire film Nosferatu, and Hitchcock movies for suspense and voyeurism. It was important to tell the story as though the viewer is observing the film from a distance, as if it were a painting. To create the language, Linus found images of paintings and photography that were light-specific to put into a lookbook. They chose to shoot on Kodak film that emphasized the red spectrum, and for a portrait style look, Linus shot in the nearly square aspect ratio of 1.33:1. With the exception of shooting around Oxford University, Saltburn was almost entirely filmed at one estate in Northamptonshire. Linus and the team scouted around the grounds and inside the building, thinking like a painter to decide on shot composition, lighting, furniture placement and blocking for the actors. Outdoors in daylight at the Saltburn estate, it's summer, so Linus felt inspired by fashion photography, impressionist paintings and the square framing and colors of a Polaroid picture. He captured the Gothic feel of the grounds at night, adding to the suspense of Oliver's encounter with Felix's sister Venetia and the showdown he has with Felix in the maze.  Saltburn is currently in theaters.

According to Seedrs, investors spend an average of 3 minutes and 44 seconds reviewing a pitch deck so clearly, it's crucial to create one that is sufficiently brief yet still conveys your business proposition to your target audience.In this episode, I hear from Venetia Archer, founder & CEO of Ruuby, the UK's leading at-home beauty & wellness service founded in 2015.  After identifying a gap in the London market for an on-demand beauty app, Ruuby has grown to become the fashion set's beloved digital beauty concierge. Venetia shares her advice on what a pitch deck should include, how long it should be and the pitfalls to avoid when putting yours together. Venetia's advice: You must outline the product and the mission of the companyConcentrate on the story & make it make sense But the three vital components must be: the financials: what you want to raise, and on what terms / your team (or the team you hope to acquire when you have the investment) / the market environment and your competitiveness within itYou may need to use an advisor to help you with the financial modellingYou obviously can't expect your modelling to be accurate as there are so many unknowns, it just needs to be plausibleYou can't expect to tailor the pitch deck to each individual.  You could try a three tiered approach - start with a “teaser deck” just showcasing the main highlights.  Then if someone shows interest follow up with more detailed metrics, and finally if someone is seriously interested give them a thorough financial breakdownYou may want to invest in some design help to make it look slickAlways write it yourself, because you know the subject best and it's a good exercise for you; if necessary you can bounce your ideas off a colleagueYou will get more expert at doing this, and it's good to practise on potential investors as much as you canAlways have all materials and information ready to draw uponKnow in advance which investors you want and set out your intentions, making it clear how much time you expect from them and how much time you are prepared to give them in turnGeneral good advice: it's crucial to have a strong, experienced team as early as you canFinally, have the courage of your convictionsFF&M enables you to own your own PR.

This week on Christories, we're talking about the APOLLO 13 AND TOM HANKS TELLING "HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" It's the 1960's and JFK wants up to get a man on the moon Baby! We were fighting Russia to get to the moon BAD. Apollo 13 was the seventh crewed mission in NASA's Apollo space program and was intended to be the third mission to land on the Moon. However, it is best known for its dramatic turn of events. Launched on April 11, 1970, the mission suffered an oxygen tank explosion two days later, forcing the crew to abort their lunar landing and focus on returning safely to Earth. Through ingenuity and teamwork, the astronauts, James Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise, managed to overcome life-threatening challenges and safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, 1970. The mission is often remembered for the famous line, "Houston, we have a problem," and it demonstrated NASA's ability to handle emergencies in space. HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'D HANDLE THE RETURN TO EARTH?

This week on Christories, we're talking about the WAR OF CURRENTS!! IT'S NIKOLA TESLA vs THOMAS EDISON! These two scientist are going head to head. But who is going to win?! Edison supported direct current (DC) for sending electricity, while Tesla backed alternating current (AC). Edison believed DC was safer and tried to show that AC was dangerous by shocking animals in public demonstrations. Tesla, working with George Westinghouse, promoted AC because it could send electricity over long distances more efficiently. In the end, AC's ability to transmit power over greater distances won, thanks to Tesla's innovations. This war helped shape how we use electricity today, with AC becoming the standard for powering homes and businesses? What do you think about Thomas Edison playing dirty?! That poor elephant!!

Fair fashion campaigner and influencer Venetia La Manna sets out to discover how the ways we produce, consume and value furniture have transformed over recent decades, and what that means for our homes and the planet. From the comfort of our sofas, it's a giant footprint and a major waste category that many of us are barely aware of. And with diminishing quality feeding our throwaway mindset, are we beginning to get stuck in a perpetual cycle? Venetia finds out how we got here and explores the nuanced reasons we turn to fast options – out of both choice and necessity, from the influence of social media to the housing crisis. We hear about the turning tide towards second hand furniture and the growing reuse market, and ask pioneering homewares giant IKEA about their sustainability strategy. If we act now, can fast furniture slow down before it's too late? With contributions from design historian Deborah Sugg Ryan, sustainable consumption expert Tim Cooper, TrendBible's Home and Interiors Editor Wendy Lowe, culture journalist Kieran Yates, and representatives from Bristol Waste, Gloucestershire County Council, and IKEA.

We separate fact from fiction and explore the true origins of the holiday, going back to the 725 with the monk Bede. We discuss everything from the significance of eggs and rabbits in Christian mythology to why Easter is definitely not stolen from the Goddess Ishtar.  To help us with this discussion, we have invited a special guest, A Hearth Witch, who is a German-American folk practitioner and scholar specializing in the study and practice of German Folk practices.

The Company has a well-established prior operational and production history in South Africa, extensive prior experience supplying rough diamonds to the world market, and has established a long-term strategic alliance with world famous Tiffany & Co. Rather than exposing itself to the high risks and costs associated with traditional exploration, the Company's focus is on the identification, acquisition, and operation of unique diamond projects with near-term production potential such as the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project. The Krone-Endora at Venetia project was acquired from De Beers and is co-located directly adjacent to the De Beers Venetia Diamond Mine in the Limpopo province of the Republic of South Africa, approximately 500 km north-northeast of Johannesburg. The Venetia mine is the 3rd largest diamond mine in the world, and South Africa's largest producer of diamonds, accounting for over 50% of South Africa's annual output. A high percentage of the diamonds produced at Venetia are reported as being gem quality, with the rest sold for industrial uses. Given the Krone-Endora projects location directly adjacent to the established Venetia mine, many operational benefits are obvious. In addition to this, both the previous exploration and the NI43-101 report concluded that the deposit on Krone-Endora at Venetia was not only an alluvial deposit, but also a rare eluvial deposit indicating a direct shift of material from the higher grounds of the Venetia Kimberlite clusters onto the lower surrounding areas of Krone-Endora. Given the eluvial nature of the deposit and its location directly adjacent to the source, the diamondiferous gravels at Krone-Endora at Venetia appear much more consistent in nature with initial grades from drilling and bulk testing much higher than that of typical alluvial type deposits.
