So we have a diamond drill.

My favorite example is a drill. Who here owns a drill, a home power drill?

The first offshore drills were called harpoons.

It might be a piece of a core drill of the mountain.

This is a trephinated skull.

And trephination is simply just cutting a hole in the skull.

So, the drill was mounted on this robotic arm.

It is like a tube where a wounded soldier enters on one end and exits back home, on the other.

They inspect it, they check it for cracks, for drill damage, for spalls, for chips.

Periodically, they remove a cylinder of ice, like gamekeepers popping a spent shotgun shell from the barrel of a drill.

At the peak of activity earlier this year, the researchers lowered the drill an extra hundred feet deeper into the ice every day and another 365 years deeper into the past.

And so what we do is we buy these drills that have a potential capacity of thousands of hours of drill time, use them once or twice to put a hole in the wall and let them sit.

The toilets there are literally holes in the ground covered with a wooden shack.

It selects a point, it guides the drill to that point, it pierces the dry wall, leaving a half inch hole before traveling to the next location.

The average home power drill is used somewhere between six and 20 minutes in its entire lifetime, depending on who you ask.

These are not diamonds, not really.

Because what you need is the hole, not the drill.

So it's the deepest geological bore hole ever drilled.

Your diamond you've all heard, probably seen the movie Blood Diamond.

Through that small little slit between the glass box and the wood, the air goes underneath the sculpture and creates the other one.

Welcoming also the important contributions made and that continue to be made by civil society and the diamond industry, in particular the World Diamond Council which represents all aspects of the diamond industry, to assist international efforts to stop the trade in conflict diamonds,

The demand is huge.

Deep borehole drilling

It consists mainly of about 1,750 metres (m) of boreholes at sea at several sites in the area under study, using a dynamically positioned drilling vessel (MSPOV Kingfisher) equipped with a piggyback coring system and a re entrable seabed system, which can eliminate or reduce the limitation of the drilling length inherent in the length of the tidal periods of currents navigable by the drilling vessel, as was the case in previous surveys.

And what it's trying to do is turn that penguin inside out, so it can eat the meat off the bones, and then it goes off and gets another one.

Clarity about Diamonds

People were out.

Tom said it was a diamond.

Was it a desire for diamonds?

World Diamond Counsil (WDC)

They cut the cylinders up into three foot sections for easier handling and shipment back to these labs, some 8,000 miles from the drill site.

Revenues from diamond exports have continued to increase as the Government has increased its control over the diamond mining sector.

Yes, you're beautiful. What kind of earring will match with this kind of clothes?

This diamond is not real.

According to a Hong Kong Oriental Daily report made on August 12, the current diamond sales in Mainland China were accused of three major problems, including the false marking of diamond clarity to raise sales price, false diamond weight and unguaranteed aftersales, etc.

It's a scientific drilling vessel.

And we drilled in the Ross Sea.

And they get inside, and they get it all on.

Antwerp is one of the world's largest diamond trading centers. The diamond cutting technology of local artisans is well known. All diamonds on sale have undergone rigorous identification, deeply welcomed by the mainland ladies.
