Geology: The truth about diamonds and uses

Diamonds are made under pressure! That might apply for some authors on steemit, but it is also as true as can be. @geologist wrote an entire article about them.

Original post

Diamond membranes are durable, resistant to heat, and transparent, making them highly useful. Because diamonds are so hard and durable, they are ideal for grinding, cutting, drilling, and polishing. When used as an abrasive, very small pieces of diamond are embedded into grinding wheels, saw blades, or drill bits.

Anthropology: The Anthropological view on Religion, The Supernatural and Magic: Part 8 - Final

We finally reached the end of @zest's series on the anthropological view on religion, the supernatural and magic. He really deserves a moment of rest by now because once again, it is an interesting article on the rituals practiced by various cultures.

Original Post

The form of a ritual also varies according to the nature of the participants. Rituals in which a whole society or community is involved may be described as communal rituals (eg rituals performed for chiefdoms or nation). Besides these, descent groups such as clans or lineages may be involved in rituals performed on behalf of the group as a whole, in which case we refer to them as kinship rituals. Likewise, the groups participating in rituals may be constituted on a voluntary basis (eg a church). As pointed out in the previous post, rituals may also be performed by a single individual.
