August 18, 2009 – 3:39 am

We can think of worse ways to tell the time than having to look at 470 dazzling diamonds every time you check you watch. Links of London’s dazzling Sweetie watch has just such a treat in store for those with who choose to manage their time in the prettiest way possible – with diamonds.

inks of London was founded in 1990. They offer an eclectic mix of men’s and women’s jewelry in sterling silver and 18 carat gold, with an enviable collection of charms and charm bracelets for you to choose from. Links of London Bracelets believes in design and function, and they endeavor to bring you contemporary classics, jewelry must-haves, and that extra special piece you weren’t expecting to find. That could be a nodding dog or a champagne bubble blower, an 18K gold bracelet or a disco diva charm.

Links of London gold locket pendant
Anthology Locket 18k Gold Pendant
The Inro is a traditional Japanese case for holding small objects. The Inro has evolved from a utilitarian purpose to an object of high art. The 18k white gold side opening locket utilizing the classic Inro form and all details are 18k yellow gold. The locket has been designed for keepsakes and therefore does not contain photo clips.
$1700

Links of London silver and gold bracelet
Wisteria Sterling Silver & 18k Gold Bracelet
Characterized by a moving cascade of shimmering leaf-shapes, the Wisteria collection celebrates the beauty of nature. Also available: Wisteria Sterling Silver & 18k Gold Necklace and Wisteria 7 Tier Sterling Silver & 18k Gold Earrings.
$500

Links of London sterling silver bracelet
Purple & Pink Friendship Bracelet
Hand-woven with purple and pink thread, these sterling silver bracelets are a modern, grown-up take on the friendship bands we made as children.
$195

The company resulted from a simple request for a pair of fish cufflinks. A local restaurant owner commissioned the manufacture of a pair of sterling silver cufflinks, as a gift for their loyal restaurant clients. Links of London loves the element of personalization and allow for engraving on jewelry and embossing on leather. They also offer a desirable mix of leather and silver items, for the home or the workplace, or for the perfect gift.

A full-time obsession

POLL RESULTS
Was primitive life first seeded on Earth from space?
Eighty-one per cent of you are open to the possibility that the ancestors of all life on Earth were alien microbes born on another celestial body and transferred here on a comet or meteorite. View the full results and add your commentsThis week’s poll: NASA just turned 50 – but who will be the world’s premier space agency in another 50 years time? Have your say

THE WEEK’S TOP NEWS STORIES

Robot lander detects snow falling on Mars
A laser instrument on NASA’s Phoenix lander has detected snow falling from Martian clouds. Found at the Red Planet’s north pole, falling light levels threaten to deprive the probe of power within months.

ANSTO: Opal reactor leaking water, but safe
Australia’s OPAL nuclear reactor is facing new criticism that a fault, allowing water to seep internally, renders it unsafe. This follows a fuel issue that already forced the reactor to close for ten months.

‘Eye flicker’ explains optical illusion
Tiny eye movements may be responsible for the optical illusion of a famous artwork. The discovery hints at how we are fooled by other illusions too.

Chinese complete successful spacewalk
Three Chinese astronauts returned safely to Earth last night after making the country’s first spacewalk.

Failure on climate will “haunt humanity”
Failure to curb global warming would “haunt humanity” forever, Australia’s top climate adviser said Tuesday as he urged the country to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 60 per cent by 2050.

IN FOCUS: A full-time obsession
It’s been 12 long years, but Australia finally has a Chief Scientist who’ll be advising national policy on a full-time basis again. On Tuesday, the Labor government of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd appointed physicist and astronomer, Penny Sackett. The first woman to hold the position, she will start in November, replacing plant geneticist Jim Peacock whose term ended on August 31.The position was created by former Labor PM Bob Hawke in 1989. But it was downgraded to a part-time role in 1996 by the incoming government of Liberal PM John Howard. And there it stayed until Labor regained office in December last year. Australia’s Chief Scientist provides information and advice on policy and research, and leads the PM’s Science, Engineering and Innovation Council. It’s a vital link between senior levels of national government and the science communities in academia, industry and learned societies.

To have such a crucial role performed “between jobs” decries the importance of science to solving modern problems. Britain’s former chief scientist, Sir David King, made the point that many serious challenges society faces today – climate change, food and water security, and deforestation to name a few – require scientists to be at the core of decision making. They’re not just people you call in when the plumbing’s not working.

Sackett is a theoretical physicist who has worked on dark matter and helped pioneer a technique to hunt for extrasolar planets. The director of the Mount Stromlo Observatory in Canberra, she is a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and a director of the Giant Magellan Telescope, a project to build the world’s most powerful optical telescope. She is well connected internationally and has a reputation for being innovative and managing complex and groundbreaking scientific projects. She is therefore an excellent candidate to provide comprehensive and timely advice on the scientific and technological issues of importance to Australia – while also bolstering the standing of science in government.

It’s worthy to note that, in his announcement, science minister Kim Carr said he hoped Sackett will also “encourage young Australians to see science as an exciting career option.” I agree. Science is a living, breathing segment of our society where interesting people do amazing things, and where young people can have rewarding, fulfilling lives. We’re doing our bit at COSMOS, telling the stories of science in a personal and engaging way. And you are too – by reading this newsletter and by continuing to be interested and fascinated by science.
