Is it possible for a list of accomplishments to be both impressive and underwhelming?
Take what happened at the Kimberley Process Plenary this year.
This has to be one of the most impressive Plenaries ever, with the U.S. piling up
quite a tally of achievements. linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001lkoBq-bun6bE4j-tMaQKbCbYulT1x5ldn4BYIDfTUOTtZoWsZ-WcdXBDx90ed8OefH9lqN0ws8Q17SP0W8VNkG89sjUN29BsLlXuDzpKY0QAZqzz-3YYBaVfUEqGcHm8s7GOPG22LhY870yaw-ZODkhxdbaWHR8_omXdGPNHc6URxlfzTRfyh_QnhOQDqMXmoiYyHJEDU3Z8epOi6KaY4SGi_yVxG7PUHmHCH8IANOt4ayDuK7nK3w=="

A UN-mandated global watchdog on Friday agreed to end a year of monitoring controls
on Zimbabwe's diamond trade, saying the government had allayed concerns over its
remote Marange mines. The move is likely to anger rights groups who have voiced
concerns over Zimbabwe's diamond industry amid allegations of human rights abuses
after Harare's security forces drove away small-scale miners from the fields. target="_blank" linktype="1" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001lkoBq-bun6bE4j-tMaQKbCbYulT1x5ldn4BYIDfTUOTtZoWsZ-WcdXBDx90ed8OefH9lqN0ws8Q0guxttj3Pl7E4oKAh0EJhRnalprfPdMZ-IVExZhA8AtHT51FUUgK1C8Uaz6i0FDKjag0pQBCqFHAMLGhTGBEgL6wRcOhVrGYjZlRWMprdNUqITmygVZZh9djJXgyYnS4="

Unity Marketing found that luxury consumers' confidence rose in the fourth quarter
of 2012 at its fastest pace since tracking began, leading to higher spending overall,
up more than 25 percent from the previous quarter; however, the jewelry category
didn't benefit. track="on" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">

Thousands of diamonds, worth well over a hundred million dollars total, are smuggled
out of mines and mining countries every year. Every few weeks, it seems like the
news features another story of an apprehended smuggler, caught with very valuable
hoard of diamonds in his or her possession. shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001lkoBq-bun6bE4j-tMaQKbCbYulT1x5ldn4BYIDfTUOTtZoWsZ-WcdXBDx90ed8OefH9lqN0ws8Q17SP0W8VNkORuUH73OC3YfVK2kPC_UkoaWwvYMGfYsFRHetPSUz8SNuk5ppqTCLiFRvyP0IUJ5DjuUgoAYTygk2oJTGchTTXoJjyfSGE43PyVBKFoyUhHoAwcP1vIjWiy5pi9BewABWrSj-TxN9uuX42DflMjhSI741kIlqv8kzFmwf33nl4E"

Every month, I compile the JCK magazine news section. And this time, I've been struck
by how many acquisitions there have been: Fabergé, Leslie's, Ultra.
All of this points to a pretty stark fact: This industry is getting smaller. Dione
Kenyon, president of the Jewelers Board of Trade, has noticed this, too. linktype="1" shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001lkoBq-bun6bE4j-tMaQKbCbYulT1x5ldn4BYIDfTUOTtZoWsZ-WcdXBDx90ed8OefH9lqN0ws8Q17SP0W8VNkG89sjUN29BsLlXuDzpKY0QAZqzz-3YYBaVfUEqGcHm8s7GOPG22LhY870yaw-ZODqqOqd2cpODNYOl5vF3mIUYwlXn7Qvm9y1BqmqA2BvH9bVZSkrvIEyAvMB-xeGkC0nNPHEZ6-3Lr"

You might be surprised to learn that your homeowner's or renter's insurance policy
probably does not offer full coverage for your engagement ring and other fine jewelry.
Your insurance policy probably covers jewelry theft, but not loss that occurs for
other reasons. shape="rect" track="on" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 119); font-style: italic;

In these modern, social-media crazed times, the word "fail" has taken on a new life.
It is a popular Internet meme, with countless photos and videos circulating the
web labeling people or events that don't meet expectations as a "fail," with some
intended to be humorous and others more serious in nature. shape="rect" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001lkoBq-bun6bE4j-tMaQKbCbYulT1x5ldn4BYIDfTUOTtZoWsZ-WcdXBDx90ed8OefH9lqN0ws8SdD7Vc1PLJGtx5zStSBNXNq4Pbfq1qjmVHna5FDYajSf_0I-lyEIi8g_0eAONsRj-jb76cCDInwb-J33Ql5IrzybgpqxZT1iW3to2X5YXM-Q=="
