	Disastrous Decisions
		Diamond talked about four kinds of failure, each with its own several reasons: to fail to anticipate a problem, to fail to perceive it, to fail to try to solve it, and to fail to solve it after trying.
		Diamond speaks of nutrient-poor soils with lush vegetation; the nutrients are in the vegetation not the soil.
		Diamond points out that the largest timber company in the state of Montana is based in another state and wonders whether the company executives know they have a big weed problem on their forest property.

		In 1784, Cardinal de Rohan was tricked by an adventuress (calling herself the comtesse de Lamotte-Valois and pretending to be in the service of the queen) into buying the necklace for Marie Antoinette on credit.
		De Lamotte then obtained the necklace from the cardinal, on the pretext that she was going to give it to the queen, and her husband sold the separate diamonds abroad.

	TESTIMONY
		The natural wealth represented by diamonds should be a source of funds for development and human welfare in all the diamond-producing states.
		This is an area related but quite distinct from the problem of the conflict diamonds that are the subject of the Kimberley Process, that is, those diamonds the import of which are prohibited by the United Nations Security Council as fueling conflict.
		Diamonds represent perhaps the most concentrated form of wealth known to man. They are easy to move, whether lawfully or through illegal channels, and are subject to fewer trading restrictions than many commodities, in fact to fewer restrictions than is that other form of concentrated wealth, cash.

		Diamonds are widely seen as having fuelled conflicts in the central Africa region.
		We say it is the traffickers from the other diamond producing countries that come to ROC to do their business and it's true.
		The figures show that a very small amount of diamonds were declared in the ROC [each year], less than half a million dollars.

	Amnesty International USA: Make a difference!
		Concerning diamonds, it is important to know that all sectors of the diamond industry have committed to a voluntary system of self-regulation to support the Kimberley Process and help stem the flow of blood diamonds.
		Conflict diamonds are diamonds that originate from areas controlled by forces or factions opposed to legitimate and internationally recognized governments, and that are used to fund conflict, civil wars and human rights abuses.
		Though despicable labor conditions are another alarming problem associated with the diamond industry (and not wholly unrelated to conflict diamonds), it is not a problem that was addressed in our most recent report.

		He said this was realistic given the new climate of peace in the country and the measures taken to stamp out illegal diamond trading.
		In Central African Republic - the world's fifth most important diamond producer, which has been afflicted with military rebellions and coup attempts since 1996 - the government is ostensibly trying to clean up the diamond industry in an attempt to make it more profitable.
		According to official figures, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) sold 2.7 million carats of diamonds for $81.4 million in the year ending July, but industry sources suspect that in addition, a huge amount of stones is fraudulently sent across the 1 500km frontier with the Congo Republic.

		Similar points have long been made about ghetto street hustlers and the like, individuals who can talk you out of your shirt and pants, yet be painfully imbecilic under questioning that runs apart from their survival game.
		In addition, Diamond makes the flaccid, extensively disproven assertion the IQ testing is culturally-biased (hasn't been for many years now).
		My point here isn't about the book per se, it is about the seeming impossibility of receiving unbiased information and analysis, no matter who you are listening to, no matter how educated and intelligent and even sincere the propounder may be.

	Designing with Interfaces
		One justification of interfaces that I had heard early on was that they solved the "diamond problem" of traditional multiple inheritance.
		The diamond problem is an ambiguity that can occur when a class multiply inherits from two classes that both descend from a common superclass.
		In fact, the diamond problem gets its name from the diamond shape of such an inheritance hierarchy.

	Harvard International Review: Dying for Diamonds
		African diamonds bear little resemblance in their original state to the precisely cut gemstones that are avidly bought and sold in Western markets.
		The highly concentrated value of diamonds means that these funds are relatively easy to come by--a few days of mining or a single mine captured from the government could rearm a significant proportion of a rebel army.
		Those aware of the difficulties of controlling the diamond supply have suggested the implementation of a monitoring process to determine the origin of cut diamonds that arrive on the coasts of Western countries.

		In order to solve a life/death problem where the area involved is large, as is the case with this diamond problem, many variations have to be considered, especially if one side wins only marginally and wins only if it has thoroughly investigated the single correct move.
		To me, it was interesting to see how just one more potential liberty for Black in the lower left corner of the problem (eye-space remains unchanged) affects the status of the problem for which the best white move is otherwise located in the opposite upper right corner.

	London Conference Tackles Global Diamond Certification - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
		The objective of the meeting was to build on the momentum of the South Africa-led Kimberley process by sensitizing a wider range of key states to the problem of conflict diamonds.
		They recognized that whilst conflict diamonds constituted only a small percentage of the whole diamond trade they were an important factor in prolonging conflict in parts of Africa, and had the potential to damage the legitimate industry on which many livelihoods depend, especially in those developing countries heavily reliant on the diamond industry.
		They underlined the need to devise effective and pragmatic measures to address the problem of conflict diamonds, which complied with international law, and which would not impede the legitimate diamond industry or impose undue burden on governments or industry (especially small producers).

		Four of the five stones are also mentioned [diamond in Clue 2, ruby in clue 4, fl onyx in Clue 5, and emerald in Clue 6], so the other that isn't, the sapphire, must be included in the introduction.
		These are just two ways to construct logic problems, but with each one, the combinations are quite varied, and of course, one isn't limited to the 4 categories and the 5 variables.

		Recently, however, the cash-poor Russian government has had a diamond problem: In 1990, as the Cold War was ending, the Russians signed a contract with DeBeers Consolidated Mines Ltd., the South African diamond firm that runs a cartel controlling much of the world diamond market.
		At some point in the early '90s, DeBeers' control of the diamond market began to annoy the amalgam of government bureaucrats, ex-Communist Party officials, and organized criminals that was privatizing Russia's formerly state-owned mineral and gem industry.
		And explaining Fyodorov appears to be necessary to telling the tale of $130 million in Russian diamonds and gold that came to San Francisco -- and vanished in a whirl of extravagance and lies and conspicuous consumption.
