Practical Gemology refers to the application of the knowledge of characteristics and properties of gemstones in identification or separation of synthetics and imitations. Diamond grading is included in practical gemology.
In November 1919 and January 1920, in what notoriously became known as the âPalmer Raids,â Attorney General Mitchell Palmer began rounding up and deporting so-called radicals. Thousands of people were arrested without warrants and without regard to constitutional protections against unlawful search and seizure.
Palmer is consultant to Golf Channel in Orlando, which went on the air on cable networks in January, 1995. Another important facet of his activities involves the Arnold Palmer Design Company, which is based at the Bay Hill Club. Since the mid-1960s, Palmer has put his stamp on about 300 new courses throughout the nation and world.
