Here are some more information for Oriental Rare:
There is a large market for antique rare engravings. Many collectors will heavily pursue those that they see as being the rarest, and most valuable, of these engravings. Perhaps the most famous of these rare antique engravings is the gold pin upon which the Lord's Prayer has been carved.
Created by Godfrey Lundberg between the years of 1913 and 1915 this rarest of the rare antique engravings is found on the head of a gold pin. The head of this pin was no more than .047 inch across. The previous record holder, one Mr. Paul Wentz, had used a brass pin that was .079 inch. This may not sound like a huge difference but in the world of miniature engravings this put them in a separate class from each other.
Mr. Lundberg made creating the world's smallest engraving a labor of love. Numerous times while carving the Lord's Prayer Pin he was forced to start over again and again. The cutting tool he used was hand made from steel and required complete steadiness to wield. To this effect he made use of a special rig created expressly for holding his arms, wrists, the engraving tool, pin and more as motionless as possible.
It is difficult to imagine the level of concentration required to carve this Lord's Prayer Pin. Even more impressive is the fact that it is now coming up for auction. This awesome piece of antique engraving will be sold at auction online. This rare antique engraving is the envy of many collectors. This is one piece that will be the keystone of an awesome collection.
Imagine being able to show visitors your new prize possession and tell them the story behind the Lord's Prayer Pin. Just picture their exclamations of awe at hearing that this rare antique engraving won the gold medal for engraving at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. No true collector of rare antique engravings could pass up the chance to own such a beautiful and one of a kind piece.
Not only is the Lord's Prayer Pin with its twelve lines (65 words and an amazing 254 characters) being auctioned. The auction winner will also get a pin engraved with the letters US (for United States) as well as a great number of other collectible items tied to this pin.
Go check out this wonderful miniature engraving before it goes back into someone's collection for who knows how long. The Lord's Prayer Pin would certainly be the pinnacle of any collection of rare antique engravings.

Your Next Job: I Want To Work For A "People Oriented" Firm! (Part 3 Of A 5-Part Series)
Let's face it – while we go to the office to work, no one is expected to keep their head down the entire time they're at the office—not speak to anyone else, forego the occasional cigarette break if they're a smoker. Yet companies productivity out of their employees – that's why they're paying you!
No talking or socializing at all is one extreme, while the other one is that you can talk to whomever you want, whenever you want.
The balance struck between these two extremes is one way to judge how "people oriented" a company is.
Another factor is whether a company sponsors outside-the-office events or activities for employees, and whether they are voluntary or mandatory.
The phrase "people oriented" is generally used to convey something vaguely like a company where everyone is pleasant and happy and people smile at each other when they pass in the halls. It's fun to work there, everyone likes their job, and each employee is treated well and fairly. Know any companies like that?
"People oriented" is another ambiguous phrase that needs defining to make sure your definition is the same as the company's definition – and that you can spot a difference if there is one.
First of all, saying you want to work at a "people oriented" company assumes that there are companies that are not people oriented. But what does a company that is NOT people oriented behave like? Is there such a thing? Probably, yes. But do they know it? High turnover is usually a clue, but an amazing number of companies never identify that as a problem.
Most companies consider themselves people oriented. Indeed, most people consider themselves "people oriented"!
So in many of those same companies, there's likely to be a significant difference of opinion on what "people oriented" means, depending on who you ask: senior management, staff, customers, or other businesses; depending on whether they like their job; depending on what kind of day they're having.....or depending on if they have to put on a face to interview you.
You've probably had a boss or a co-worker who has considered himself people oriented, yet perhaps the person is rather aloof. Maybe you've had a boss who moves through the halls waving a cheery "hello" to his employees, but when you go looking for him, he's never available. Perhaps you've worked for a company that rarely promotes from the inside, because they want "new blood" in the organization.
Another examples is the CEO who is jovial with his employees, knows everyone by name, but through policies and procedures, makes life miserable for those who work there. Each of these individuals might claim to be people oriented, but in reality, what might seem to that person as people oriented, looks to others like a lack of awareness and unwillingness to look inwardly at the truth.
So what do you mean by "people oriented"? Do you want a company that:
• Promotes from within?
• Doesn't frown on gathering at the water cooler?
• Has routine company parties and other office-wide gatherings?
• Has managers who are accessible?
• Considers its customers of paramount importance both in philosophy and actuality?
• Is involved in its community and requires each employee to join or participate in a specific event once or twice each year?
When you take the time to look closer at what the phrase means to you, you'll discover that some aspects of being "people-oriented" are more important to you than others.
Knowing what you mean by this phrase gives you the power to discover if the company's definition is the same as yours.

Will your cat look at straight in the eyes?
My cat won't look at a mirror or anyone straight in the eyes except me. My vet thinks that my cat is cross-eyed because of Oriental origins. My cat is not Oriental. He is an Egyptian Mau, a rare cat breed that have "worried" eyes. What do you think?
I think your vet has you freaking out over this comment, since you've posted at least three questions about it. Yes, all my cats look me straight in the eye. But if your cat isn't cross-eyed, it doesn't matter that your vet thinks so. And since your vet is trained to notice these things, your cat may very well be slightly cross-eyed. It doesn't matter. If you're truly concerned that your breed is not oriental, just do a search for egyptian mau and see what the sites say, or look for oriental cats and see if your breed is listed. Otherwise, I think you should go hug your cat, have a cup of tea, and stop worrying about it. There are many worse things than a slightly cross-eyed cat.
