[breelandwalker]

Hi Bree!

I wanna buy all three of your books and I wanna know what's gonna be best for you:

Which method of ordering would give you the most direct funds, your Wordpress shop or Amazon? Cuz I wanna make sure you get as much of the profits as possible.

Picture of a silly Goose for you, for answering my silly question 🖤

Oh WELL!!! With a sweet baby fuzzyface like that, I'm happy to! 😁

The best direct-support option is to order from my shop. I can ship signed books and other merch anywhere in the U.S. For my international customers, it's books only (sorry, customs is stupid), but I can ship freshly-printed copies directly to you pretty much anywhere there's a KDP distribution hub nearby.

(To the best of my knowledge, there are hubs in the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, India, and Australia. Distributions hubs often ship to more than one country.)

And of course, there are print and ebook copies available on Amazon.

If you're in the Richmond VA area, I also have a regular table at the River City Witch Markets at Diversity Thrift and Triple Crossing Brewery.

Thank you for your support! 💜

Navratri 2023 Colors: A Guide to the Significance of 9 Days of Sharad Navratri Attire

Navratri, the nine-night festival dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga, is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion in India, especially in states like Maharashtra and Gujarat. One of the captivating traditions during Navratri is the daily choice of colors to wear, each associated with a different form of the goddess. This practice holds deep significance in Hindu culture, symbolizing purity. Let's take a closer look at the Navratri colors to be followed this year and the gods and goddesses they represent.

#1226 What is a hedge fund?

What is a hedge fund? A hedge fund is a pool of money invested by private individuals. Their money has more power together than they each would have individually. The expression “hedge” fund came about in 1949 and the word “hedge” was used to imply that the fund was hedged against risk. That means that the investments are spread in such a way that if one goes down, another will go up, ensuring an overall success. The word “hedge” to imply an offsetting of risk comes from the 1670s. The idea probably comes from the fact that you can surround something with a hedge as a fence to make it safer. If you are hedging a bet, you are surrounding it with something else to reduce its risks. The idea of investing as a group rather than as an individual is not new. Ever since the invention of trade, people have invested. You have to buy merchandise to trade, or spend money to grow the crops to trade, and there is no way of knowing if you will get that money back. You have to invest up front in the hope that you will receive a payoff. Investing as a group can increase profits because there is a larger pool of money to invest, but it can also decrease the risk because any losses will be spread across more people, potentially reducing individual losses. Investing flourished along with society, but it really took off with the age of sail and the dawn of truly international trade. People who owned ships couldn’t usually afford to fill them, so they would seek investors and those investors would be guaranteed a percentage of the profits, assuming that the ship wasn’t captured or sank in bad weather. This idea grew to become the Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company. The first hedge fund is said to have been formed in 1949, but they probably existed before then. The idea was that the invested funds would be spread across different areas and types of stocks so that the risk was hedged. The fund was managed by a fund manager and that manager was paid a management fee, usually 2%, and a performance fee, usually 20% of the profits. That meant that any manager was invested in trying to get as big a gain as possible because they would earn a large chunk of those profits. This is a great incentive for the fund manager to work harder, but it is also an incentive for them to take more risks because that will increase profits. These days, hedge funds are not completely risk free. Hedge funds generally have several different strategies for investing money. They can invest on a global level, using the differences in values of certain commodities between countries to make a profit. They can invest in regular companies, using long or short strategies. That means they bet money that a company will do better than expectations or worse than expectations. They choose competing companies so that their risk is minimized. They can invest money based on certain events, such as a merger, or a natural disaster. Or they can just invest in regular stocks. There are many other investment strategies as well and each fund manager will have different ideas and different areas of expertise. By spreading their investment over a large number of categories, hedge funds are freeing themselves from being tied to the stock market, which is a way of hedging risk. The idea is that the fund goes up an equal amount (let’s say 10%) when the stock market is doing really well and when the stock market is doing really badly. This is the hedge. Hedge funds don’t take money from just anyone. You need to have a certain amount of wealth to be allowed to join the fund and this is because you need to be able to cope with any losses. A lot of large institutions, like pension funds and insurance companies invest large amounts of money in hedge funds. There are many hedge funds around the world and collectively they hold about $3.2 trillion. The two largest funds are a US fund called Bridgewater Associates and a UK fund called Man. Together, they have about $260 billion. Hedge funds are supposed to hedge risk, but you obviously cannot have zero risk in investing and hedge funds do fail. This can be due to bad decisions, bad organization, or have turned out to be scams, like Bernie Madoff’s empire. And this is what I learned today. Try these: - #848 What is the sunk cost fallacy? - #1224 What is a Ponzi scheme? - #857 What is survivorship bias? - #25 Why is Wall Street called Wall Street? - #833 What is your risk of dying every year?

A Complete Guide to Buying Gold Jewellery Online Safely in 2025

Gold jewellery has long been a symbol of luxury, tradition, and investment. With the rise of e-commerce, purchasing gold jewellery online has become more convenient than ever. However, the fear of fraud, counterfeit products, and security risks can make many buyers hesitant. This guide will help you navigate the process of buying authentic gold jewellery online safely in 2025, ensuring you make a secure and informed purchase.

1. Verify Gold Purity and Hallmark Certification

One of the most critical aspects of buying gold jewellery online is ensuring its purity. Gold is measured in karats (K), with 24K being the purest form. However, most jewellery pieces are made from 22K, 18K, or 14K gold, depending on durability needs.

Look for BIS Hallmarking: In India, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) hallmark certifies gold purity. Ensure that the jewellery you purchase has a BIS hallmark for authenticity.

Check Other Certifications: International certifications like the Assay Office Mark (UK) and the Jewellers of America certification (USA) are also indicators of quality.

Request a Purity Certificate: Reputable online jewellers provide a purity certificate, detailing gold composition and weight.

For a wide range of hallmarked gold jewellery, visit GoldSutra.

2. Choose a Reputable Online Jewellery Store

Buying from a well-established and trusted jeweller minimizes the risk of fraud. Here’s how to identify a reputable online jewellery retailer:

Check Business Credentials: Look for the company’s history, customer service reputation, and certifications.

Read Customer Reviews: Platforms like Google Reviews, Trustpilot, and social media can provide insights into other buyers' experiences.

Verify Return and Exchange Policies: A reputable seller will have a transparent return/exchange policy in case the product does not meet your expectations.

Ensure Secure Website & Payment Gateway: Always look for "https" in the website URL and check if secure payment options are available.

Explore a trusted selection of authentic gold jewellery at GoldSutra.

3. Understand Pricing and Hidden Charges

Gold prices fluctuate based on market trends, making it essential to compare prices before purchasing. Here’s what to consider:

Current Market Rate: Check the prevailing gold price before making a purchase.

Making Charges: This fee varies depending on the craftsmanship and design intricacy.

GST & Other Taxes: In India, a 3% GST is levied on gold jewellery purchases.

Shipping & Insurance Costs: Some stores may charge extra for secure shipping and insurance.

4. Secure Payment Methods & EMI Options

To ensure a safe transaction, use secure payment methods when buying gold jewellery online.

Trusted Payment Options: Opt for credit/debit cards, UPI, or net banking with fraud protection.

EMI & Financing Options: Some reputed jewellers offer easy EMI plans, making expensive purchases more affordable.

Cash on Delivery (COD) for Gold: Some retailers offer COD for added security, though it may be limited to specific locations.

5. Safe and Insured Shipping

When ordering gold jewellery online, ensure the seller provides insured and secure shipping.

Trusted Courier Services: Reliable brands use reputed logistics partners like Blue Dart, FedEx, or Malca-Amit.

Tamper-Proof Packaging: Ensure the jewellery comes in sealed and tamper-proof packaging.

Real-Time Tracking: A trustworthy retailer will offer shipment tracking for peace of mind.

Insurance Coverage: Always opt for insured delivery to protect your purchase from loss or theft.

6. Read Customer Reviews & Testimonials

Before finalizing your purchase, read customer testimonials and reviews. Real experiences help assess product quality and customer service reliability.

Check Verified Reviews: Reviews on the retailer’s website, social media, and independent platforms add credibility.

Look for High Ratings: Consistently high ratings indicate reliability and good service.

Engage in Community Forums: Online jewellery forums and social media groups can provide valuable recommendations.

7. Understand Return, Exchange, and Warranty Policies

A transparent return policy is essential when purchasing jewellery online.

Easy Return Window: Reputable sellers offer a return window (usually 7-30 days) with full refunds.

Exchange Offers: Some brands allow gold exchange for upgraded designs.

Warranty & Buyback Policies: Ensure your jewellery has a warranty against defects and a buyback option.

Conclusion

Buying gold jewellery online in 2025 is convenient and safe if you take the right precautions. From verifying hallmark certification and checking reviews to ensuring secure payments and insured delivery, following these steps will help you make a trustworthy purchase.

For a curated collection of certified gold jewellery, explore GoldSutra and shop with confidence.

By following these guidelines, you can enjoy the convenience of online gold jewellery shopping without compromising on quality or security. Happy shopping!

Mango Export from India: A Comprehensive Guide to the Global Mango Market

Mangoes, known for their sweetness and vibrant flavor, are one of the most popular fruits in the world. India stands at the forefront of global mango production, accounting for over 40% of the world’s mango supply. Exporting mangoes from India has emerged as a lucrative business, given the high demand for this delicious fruit in various countries worldwide. In this article, we’ll explore the dynamics of the mango export market, its growth, popular mango varieties exported from India, and top importing countries, and how you can tap into this thriving industry.

Overview of Mango Export Market in India

India is the largest mango producer globally, with key mango-growing states including Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, and Gujarat. The mango season typically spans from March to July, making this a peak time for domestic consumption and export activities. India exports mangoes in both fresh and processed forms, such as mango pulp, juice, and canned mangoes.

Mango export from India has seen significant growth over the years.

#1110 Why are the White Cliffs of Dover white?

Why are the White Cliffs of Dover white? The White Cliffs of Dover are white because they are made of white chalk, which is a type of limestone. The White Cliffs of Dover are a very famous symbol of the UK. During the Second World War they were often sung about because when pilots crossed over them, or when sailors or soldiers on ships saw them, they knew that they were safe. You can see the White Cliffs from France when the weather is good and the sight could have made British people fighting in France long to be home.  The cliffs stretch for 13 km with the town of Dover in the middle of them, hence their name as the White Cliffs of Dover. They are 110 m tall at their highest point. There is no way of knowing when the cliffs were first named, but they and the town of Dover have existed for a very long time. Archaeological digs in and around Dover show that people have lived there since the Stone Age and there was an Iron Age settlement. Julius Caesar tried to land at Dover, but the white cliffs were too easily defended and he sailed on. The Romans, and numerous people since, then used the cliffs themselves for defense. Dover became a very important port and the Dover Calais ferry route is probably the most used route between the UK and mainland Europe. It is 42.4 km and 1,831 people have actually swum across. The first person was Matthew Webb in 1875. So, why are the cliffs white? Well, they are not pure white. They have streaks of black flint, but they are white enough to be seen from a long way away. They get their color from chalk, which is a type of limestone and is actually made deep under the sea. The chalk that the White Cliffs are made of was formed between 100 and 66 million years ago during a period called the Late Cretaceous. Chalk is a sedimentary rock, which means it is made from accumulated sediment pressed together under high pressure. The chalk that became the White Cliffs was made from the shells of a microscopic algae called coccolithophore. These algae were single celled organisms, but they produced a series of tiny plates made of calcium carbonate to cover and protect themselves. Each plate was only about 2 to 25 micrometers, which is tiny. A human hair is between 17 and 180 micrometers across, to give you an idea of scale. When the algae died, they sank to the bottom of the sea with their calcium plates. The algae biodegraded, but the calcium plates didn’t and they started to build up. Because they are miniscule and because the sea is so large, they didn’t build up very quickly. Estimates are that they built up about 1 mm every two years. That isn’t a lot, but over time it starts to add up. 1 m every 20,000 years. Over 34 million years, the sediment built up and as it did, the weight from the sediment on top became immense and it crushed the underlying sediment down. The pressure shaped the sediment into chalk. And this is the chalk that formed the White Cliffs of Dover. So, how is chalk formed under the sea part of the White Cliffs? When the chalk was formed, millions of years ago, Britain and most of Europe was under a deep sea. Then, two things happened. The tectonic plates that carry Africa, India, and Europe collided and several mountain ranges were formed, including the Alps and the Himalayas. This mountain building period pushed the chalk that would form the White Cliffs of Dover up and out of the sea. Then, quite a lot later, there were several ice ages and sea levels dropped, uncovering even more of the cliffs, leaving what we can see today. The cliffs are very beautiful, but they are made of chalk, which is a very soft rock. Erosion is a big problem with the cliffs. They are eroding at a rate of roughly 2.5 cm a year. The rate used to be slower, but stronger storms have sped up the rate. The cliffs are not going to disappear any time soon because they are quite thick, but the buildings that are on top of them and near to them may have to be moved. Interestingly, there are also a large number of tunnels that were dug into the cliffs. The first ones were dug during the Napoleonic wars to make canon escarpments, and the later tunnels were built during the Second World War. You can visit them. And this is what I learned today.

How Long Does Postage to India from the UK Take?

When sending parcels or letters from the UK to India, one of the most common concerns is the delivery time. 

Whether you’re sending personal items, business goods, or gifts for loved ones, knowing how long it takes for postage to reach its destination can help you plan better and set realistic expectations. 

This guide will explore the factors influencing delivery times and the typical duration for different services.

Factors Influencing Delivery Times

Several variables determine how long it takes for a package or letter to travel from the UK to India. These include:

Type of Service:

Standard Shipping: Typically takes longer as it prioritizes cost over speed.

Express or Priority Shipping: Faster, but more expensive, as these services ensure quick handling and delivery.

Courier Service:

Different providers, such as Royal Mail, DHL, FedEx, or UPS, have varying delivery times depending on their logistics networks and service levels.

Customs Clearance:

Packages must go through customs in both the UK and India, which can cause delays, especially if there’s incomplete documentation or issues with the declared contents.

Destination in India:

Urban areas like Delhi, Mumbai, or Bangalore typically receive packages faster due to well-established logistics networks.

Remote or rural areas may experience delays due to limited transportation and infrastructure.

Time of Year:

Peak periods, such as festivals (e.g., Diwali or Christmas), often lead to longer delivery times due to increased postal and courier traffic.

Weather conditions, such as monsoons in India, can also impact delivery schedules.

Package Size and Weight:

Heavier or oversized parcels may take longer due to specific handling requirements.

Delivery Times for Different Services

Here’s a breakdown of typical delivery times for various postage options from the UK to India:

Royal Mail:

International Standard: 5-7 working days.

International Tracked & Signed: 5-7 working days with added tracking and signature on delivery.

Courier Services (e.g., DHL, FedEx, UPS):

Offered by some providers for cost-effectiveness but may take 10-15 working days or longer.

Specialized India Services:

Tips to Ensure Timely Delivery

Choose the Right Service:

For urgent deliveries, opt for express or priority shipping.

For non-urgent packages, standard or economy services are more budget-friendly.

Check Customs Regulations:

Ensure your package complies with Indian customs regulations to avoid delays or rejection.

Accurately declare the contents and value of your package.

Plan Ahead:

If you’re sending packages during peak seasons or holidays, send them earlier to account for potential delays.

Track Your Package:

Opt for services with tracking options to monitor your shipment’s progress and address any issues promptly.

Verify Address Details:

Double-check the recipient’s address to ensure accuracy, including any specific instructions for delivery.

Common Reasons for Delays

Even with the best planning, delays can occur. Some common reasons include:

Incomplete Documentation:

Missing or incorrect customs forms can lead to delays.

Customs Inspections:

Random inspections can extend delivery times.

High Volume Periods:

During festivals, holidays, or sales events, courier networks may be overloaded.

Incorrect Address:

Inaccurate or incomplete address details can result in the package being returned or delayed.

Conclusion

The time it takes to send postage from the UK to India depends on various factors, including the type of service, the courier company, and the destination. 

While express services can deliver within 2-4 working days, standard options typically take 5-7 working days. 

By planning, choosing the right service, and ensuring proper documentation, you can minimize delays and ensure your package reaches its destination on time.
