Microstructure-based Multistage Fatigue Modeling of Aluminum Alloy 7075-T651
The multistage fatigue model for high cycle fatigue of a cast aluminum alloy developed by McDowell et al. is modified to consider the structure–property relations for cyclic damage and fatigue life of a high strength aluminum alloy 7075-T651 for aircraft structural applications. The multistage model was developed as a physically-based framework to evaluate sen¬sitivity of fatigue response to various microstructural features to support materials process design and component-specific tailoring of fatigue resistant materials. In this work, the model is first generalized to evaluate both the high cycle fatigue (HCF) and low cycle fatigue (LCF) regimes for multiaxial loading conditions, with appropriate modifications introduced for wrought materials. The particular microstructural features of relevance to fatigue in aluminum alloy 7075-T651 include micron-scale Fe-rich intermetallic particles and rolling textures. The model specifically addresses the role of local con¬strained cyclic microplasticity at fractured inclusions in fatigue crack incubation and microstructurally small crack growth, including the effect of crystallographic orientation on crack tip displacement as the driving force. The model is able to pre¬dict lower and upper bounds of the fatigue life based on measured inclusion sizes.
Recent prognosis programs for aging military aircraft have revived research on high strength 7075-T6 series Al alloys that have been used as structural materials for airframes. The prediction of fatigue crack formation and crack growth rate at sub-mm scale is very important for safety evaluation and strategicdecision-making. Moreover, crack formation and growth under variable loading is relevant to the selection of nondestructive testing procedures with appropriate resolution and structural designs for crack arrest based on crack growth mechanisms. The microstructure-based multistage fatigue (MSF)model of McDowell et al. [1][1] is an appealing model for prognosis applications, particularly in the HCF regime, since it captures fatigue behavior in the initial stages of crack incubation (formation and growth within the zone of influence of inclusion or defect where formed) and small crack growth, and explicitly addresses the role of microstructure. This model was originally devel¬oped to characterize the constant amplitude loading high cycle fatigue of cast Al–Mg–Si alloys with a partic¬ular goal of characterizing the potency of a hierarchy of microstructure features ranging from micron-scale interdendritic inclusions to dendrite cells to casting pores and trapped oxides. Interactions of both crack for¬mation and small crack growth processes with microstructure were considered. The model addresses the role of constrained microplasticity at debonded particles or gas pores in forming and growing microstructurally small fatigue cracks, using the cyclic crack tip displacement as the crack driving force rather than DK of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). For LEFM to be valid, the scale of the cyclic plastic zone at the crack tip must be small relative to crack length, as must the scale of the damage process zone. Furthermore, validity of the homogeneous material solutions for the mode I stress intensity factor of LEFM requires that the cyclic plastic zone must enclose a sufficient number of lower scale inclusions that control the rate of crack advance; this is typically much more demanding than the LEFM requirements on cyclic plastic zone size relative to crack length. The inhomogeneity issue remains even if the elastic–plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM) is employed to more adequately capture elastic–plastic crack tip conditions. A successful fracture mechanics approach for small crack growth in Ref. [2][2]was based on extensive experiments to effectively homogenize the microstructure features using the equivalent initial flaw size concept. However, the model requires extensive experiments in the threshold crack growth regime and small crack growth rate evaluations prior to application. In this paper, we extend the MSF approach [1] that decomposes fatigue life into four consecutive stages based on the microstructural details of fatigue crack growth as follows:
where is the total fatigue life. Here, is the number of cycles to incubate a crack at a micronotch that includes the nucleation of crack-like damage and early crack propagation through the zone of the micronotch root influence; NMSC is the number of cycles required for propagation of a microstructurally small crack with the crack length, ai < a < k MS, with MS defined as a characteristic lengthscale of interaction with microstruc¬tural (MS) features and k as a multiplier in the range between one and three; NPSC is the number of cycles required for propagation of a physically small crack (PSC), k MS < a <O(10 MS), during the transition from MSC status to that of a dominant long crack (LC). Depending on the microstructural inclusion morphology and texture of the matrix, the PSC regime may extend to 300–800 m. In Eq. (1)
In this research, the multistage fatigue model [1] is further generalized to consider high strength wrought 7075¬T651 Al alloy in both HCF and LCF regimes. The local plastic accumulation around inclusions is estimated using micromechanical simulations of fractured intermetallic particles. The incubation life of crack-like dam¬age is evaluated using an extended Coffin–Manson plastic strain-life relation at the microscale and is further extended to evaluate multiaxial loading cases. Certain parameters in this model are estimated using macro¬scopic material properties. The cyclic crack tip displacement (CTD) is used as the crack driving force for MSC/PSC growth and the grain orientation effect on crack growth based on rolling textures is introduced in the model. The model parameter correlation is conducted using experimental strain-life relations. Finally, the model is validated using constant amplitude experiments following an overload event. Following calibra¬tion, the model is applied to predict lower and upper bounds of the fatigue life based on observed inclusion sizes which agree well with experimental results.
Multistage Fatigue Model
Crack incubation
To characterize the damage incubation life as a function of micronotch root cyclic plastic deformation, a modified Coffin–Manson law was implemented based on the nonlocal maximum plastic shear strain for uniaxialloading [1], i.e.,
where is the nonlocal maximum plastic shear strain amplitude around the inclusion, and Cinc and are coefficient and exponent, respectively, in the modified Coffin–Manson law linking microplasticity to incubation life. The exponent is chosen identical to that of the macroscopic Coffin–Manson (C–M) law [1];
Microstructurally small crack growth
Crack growth in the MSC/PSC regime is governed by the range of the crack tip displacement, CTD
where is a material constant that reflects crack tip irreversibility, typically in the range of 0.333 to 0.5; it is taken as 0.35 for aluminum alloys [1]. We assign the threshold value for crack tip displacement according to the Burger's vector for the Al rich matrix, CTDth = b = 2.85 E-04 m for pure FCC Al. The crack tip displacement is related to the remote loading according to [1]
where C1, CII, and all exponents are material constants to be determined based on fatigue crack growth experiments in the MSC regime. The effect of texture on MSC growth was captured using the ratio of grain orientation to the typical rolling texture orientation {011}<100> for FCC Al, . The ratio of grain size to the reference grain size in the alloy describes the effect of grain size distribution on small crack growth.
Long crack growth
Finally, the LC growth regime is primarily mode I opening fatigue crack growth and is modeled using linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), i.e.,
Uniaxial fatigue experiments under constant amplitude loading were conducted on smooth cylindrical fatigue specimens at room temperature (approx. 68 F) in laboratory air with relative humidity near 45–60 RH.completely reversed remote strain amplitude. Failure was defined as 50% drop of the maximum stress. The strain-life experimental results, Re = -1, are shown in Fig. 5.
Assuming an extremely large particle diameter of 20 lm as the site of crack formation, a lower bound of fatigue life of 7075-T651 is predicted. Assuming a small pore size of 4 lm as the site of damage incubation, an upper bound for fatigue life was predicted. As shown in Fig. 8, the capability of predicting accurate upper and low bounds is an important attribute of the multistage fatigue model. In addition, the model can conceptually predict the variability due to grain size or texture modification, another key aspect, which is another key aspect.

(Still in the process of edits. Updates will be made soon.)
Recently I began to reread one of my favorite books, Play: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soul. In the image above, Christopher Vaughan attempts to define what play is. Acknowledging that it is an experience that cannot be contained by explanations. While reading further, I kept being confronted with thoughts of how these very important principles of development & being are constantly taken away & limited for autistic kids and people. The idea being that if an autistic person is to properly develop then they'd need to learn how to play in ways that would properly develop them. Except, the way we play is best for the way our autistic minds develop.
I was growing frusterated with memories being recalled about autism professionals expressing their frustrations with parallel play and discussing how their clients needed them to teach them how to play. But before I went off the deep end, because no one likes acting off of assumptions, I reached out & asked autistic friends & acquaintances for input.
As the responses came I there was one thing that was clear, no one wanted someone elses social expectations forced onto them. But even those who expressed contentment with the play of their youth had more to say on how they would have preferred things to be.
[Confirming Quotes]
Play in Summary
Play is intigral part of developement, especially in earlier years but also for the whole of our lives. Through play we are able to learn things like who we are, what the rules are of the world, how we can best work, how we connect with others, how we can see the world. All with lessened pressues of failure.
There are 6 kinds of play, each stage having typical developemental markers as well:
• Unoccupied play: Pre-play stimming
• Independent play: Playing on your own
• Onlooker play: Watching others play
• Parallel play: Playing "near"
• Associative play: Playing "with" with different goals
• Cooperative play: Playing "with" with the same goal
Autistic kids are more likely to stay within earlier stages of play such as unoccupied play, individual play, onlooker play, & parallel play. We tend to have a harder time with associative play, & cooperative play.
Autism professionals usually pin this on development. While this can be the case (and it is important to be patient of autistic development not reflecting the pace of typical development), there's also a lot of significance in the impact of sensory differences, confusing social expectations, & non-accommodating people.
Despite all of that there are still concerns that autistics aren't getting the "need to know info" from our preferred kinds of play, when we are developing within the best scope for our monotropic minds. We explore creatively & share intimacy in ways that make the most sense to us.
Rather than individuals insisting that we intigrate into the kinds of play that makes the most sense to them, what we really need is:
• for people to help us to understand the function of things & to be clear with explanations,
• for our needs to be accommodated (sensory & otherwise)
• for boundaries to be taught to us; how to make them, how to uphold them, & how to respect others
• to Accept Us As We Are, &
• to Not Be Blamed For The Mistreatment That We Experience
Intimacy Through Autistic Connection
Despite what many autism professionals try to say, parallel play is a very intimate way to interact with others. It's like
'Will you be with me as I am right now?' takes a lot of vulnerability and trust
More people should learn from it.
Parallel play is to play "near" rather than to play "with". Although for many people, especially autistics, "near" can still be interpreted as "with".
Some ways that folk enjoy parrallel play is:
[Confirming Quotes]
Exposure Anxiety's Influence on Play
Exposure Anxiety is important to be aware of because it can be what causes distress for autistics, especially autistic kids, in any kind of social confrontation. Which further affirms the importance of parallel play for autistic children. Many behaviourists believe that fits in reaction to social confrontations or demands are behavioural things that need to be fixed, when what more than likely is sensory overwhelm &/ exposure anxiety. Being mindful that These Are Not Responses That Autistics Can Control. Meaning that autistics Should Not be punished or forced because of the way our nervous system is responding.

NEW YORK – Judicial Watch's release this week of 725 pages of State Department emails involving Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin demonstrates the Obama administration considers a large percentage of the emails sent through Clinton's private server too sensitive for Congress or the American public to read.
Of the 725 pages, more than 250 pages were 100 percent redacted, many with "PAGE DENIED" stamped in bold.
Advertisement - story continues below
Judicial Watch said the new cache includes previously unreleased email exchanges in which former Abedin "provided influential Clinton Foundation donors special, expedited access to the secretary of state."
Judicial Watch added that in many instances, the preferential treatment provided to donors was at the specific request of Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band.
TRENDING: The deadly effect of ignoring patterns
Now more than ever, Bill and Hill are "Partners in Crime." Jerome Corsi reveals "The Clintons' scheme to monetize the White House for personal profit."
"The Abedin emails reveal that the longtime Clinton aide apparently served as a conduit between Clinton Foundation donors and Hillary Clinton while Clinton served as secretary of state. In more than a dozen email exchanges, Abedin provided expedited, direct access to Clinton for donors who had contributed from $25,000 to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation," Judicial Watch said in a statement announcing the release.

"In many instances, Clinton Foundation top executive Doug Band, who worked with the Foundation throughout Hillary Clinton's tenure at State, coordinated closely with Abedin."
100 percent redaction
Previous releases of Clinton emails have forced the Obama administration to admit highly sensitive State Department information was transmitted over Clinton's private email server.
On July 7, Charles McCullough, the inspector general of the intelligence community for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, in testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, admitted his office did not have the security clearances required to read the emails transmitted over Clinton's private email server that Congress was demanding to see.

See C-SPAN video of McCullough's testimony:
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, generated the response by asking McCullough if he could provide the committee, in a secure format, the classified emails transmitted over Clinton's private email server.
"I cannot provide a certain segment of them because the agency that owns the information for those emails has limited the distribution on those," McCullough explained. "They are characterizing them as OrCon, 'originator control,' so I can't give them to even Congress without getting the agency's permission to provide them."
Advertisement - story continues below
"Which agency?" Chaffetz interjected.
"I can't say that in an open hearing sir," McCullough replied.
"So you can't even tell me which agency won't allow us, as members of Congress, to see something that Hillary Clinton allowed somebody without a security clearance, in a non-protected format to see. That's correct?" Chaffetz responded, in obvious disbelief.
McCullough responded that he could not tell the committee in an open hearing even what the emails were about, let alone reveal their specific contents.
"I don't want to violate that, but the concern is it was already violated by Hillary Clinton," Chaffetz told the IG. "It was her choice, and she set it up, and she created this problem, and she created this mess. We shouldn't have to go through this, but she did that."
"This is the segment of emails that I had to have people in my office read-in to particular programs to even see these emails," McCullough responded. "We didn't posses the required clearances."
"So even the Inspector General for ODNI (Office of the Director of National Intelligence) didn't have the requisite security clearances?" Chaffetz pressed, seeking to clarify McCullough's statement.
"That's correct. I had to get read-ins for them," McCullough said.
"Wow," Chaffetz said. "Unbelievable. What a mess."
On Aug. 16, the FBI pledged to release to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee some 14,900 previously undisclosed documents related to the investigation into Clinton's private email server.
Chaffetz: 'Even I am not sufficiently cleared'
By Aug. 22, Chaffetz once again went public, explaining security clearances were needed to review the heavily redacted materials.
"As the chairman of the chief investigative body in the House, it is significant I can't even read these documents in their entirety," Chaffetz told Fox News. "This shows how dangerous it was to have this intelligence, highly classified to this day, on the former secretary's unsecured personal server where it was vulnerable."
Fox News commented that the fact that portions of the FBI investigative file are heavily redacted and must be held and read by lawmakers in a secure facility on Capitol Hill shows how classified the material remains, despite claims made by the Clinton campaign.
"The campaign's call to release the FBI agents' notes appears suspect because the material is too highly classified to make public," Fox News reported. "The FBI told the committee that the documents cannot be released in part or in full without prior agency approval."
Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" show Aug. 22, Chaffetz again complained about the high level of redactions in the released FBI documents.
"Hillary Clinton is out there saying there's not very much sensitive information in there, that she didn't trade in sensitive classified information. It's so sensitive and so classified that even I as the chairman of the Oversight Committee don't have the high level of clearance to see what's in those materials," Chaffetz said.
Now more than ever, Bill and Hill are "Partners in Crime." Jerome Corsi reveals "The Clintons' scheme to monetize the White House for personal profit."

AARON CHALMERS wants to take over the sports and entertainment world by adding pro wrestling and boxing to his MMA career.
The former Geordie Shore star is 5-2 in his MMA career, fighting four times for US promotion Bellator.
But Chalmers - who latched onto The Joker nickname he was given after his fighting debut - is now eyeing a run in pro wrestling.
His agent has held talks with the WWE with the view of debuting in NXT and the boyhood fan has already started training.
Chalmers, 33, told SunSport: "I've always said after Bellator, wrestling is what I want to take up, but I also want to try and run it alongside Bellator as soon as possible.
"I want to keep as busy as I can, if I'm not fighting I'm wrestling.
"I want to try build The Joker brand as big and as worldwide as I possibly can. What better way to fight on Bellator and be on NXT/WWE.
"I entertained on MTV, which got me over to Bellator and then I can exaggerate it over to WWE. One thing that does not bother me is the cameras.
"What I lack in skillset I make up for in character."
Chalmers, who lost his last fight in February, wants to return to the cage between October and December before kickstarting his wrestling stint on the sidelines.
But the former ex-reality TV star insists MMA takes priority as he aims for another three more years in the sport and triple the fights.
He said: "Bellator will always be the priority. Eight weeks out from a fight it would be purely MMA, then we would pick the wrestling back up afterwards.
"While I feel I can physically compete at a good standard I'm going to stay in MMA. Another three good years until I'm 36 and try finish with 15-20 fights that would be me done.
"When I feel like I'm done physically in my body then I'll call it a day. I was only meant to go in there and have one fight now I've had seven so if I can get to 15-20 then I'd be more than happy."
Chalmers, one of Bellator's leading stars in Europe, expects promoter Scott Coker to encourage the wrestling move, and reckons the deal will go "hand in hand".
He even planned to make his boxing debut this year, following negotiations with Tyson Fury's promoter Frank Warren.
But the breaks were pulled after his recent defeat, though still Chalmers wants to box at the end of next year - with his triple header helping to fund his dream Lamborghini.
He explained: "My agent had spoken to Frank Warren about me fighting. I actually had a fight pencilled in but I lost my last MMA fight.
"So I need to redeem myself in my next few MMA fights and then boxing is on the cards too.
Most read in MMA
"That's another thing we're looking at, my agent spoke to Frank Warren's son that he was dealing with but I lost my last MMA fight.
"We want to go into boxing off the back of a good couple of MMA wins, so that is something I expect to happen at the end of next year.
"We're going to have a busy couple of years, I want to buy a Lamborghini next year so the more work the better."

The array of apple cosmetics on offer encompasses everything from apple lotions to apple creams to apple balm, while in the wellness sector countless treatments use apple essences and apple oil, a popular choice for soothing massages.
Let's take a trip into the world of the apple.
Apple baths, scrubs and creams
The apple is an outstandingly effective beauty product: Thanks to its unique properties, it has become a go-to ingredient for beauty baths, scrubs and creams.
An apple scented bath is a luxurious treat for sensitive skin, and its active ingredients also tone the tissue and smooth the skin.
An apple cider vinegar scrub is an excellent remedy for impurities of the skin, with benefits which are clear to be seen after just one application: The skin can breathe freely once again, and is visibly well-nourished. Apple cider vinegar exfoliation also helps to regulate excess sebum production, and its natural fruit-acid content stimulates skin renewal. Apple creams are a wonderful treatment for impure, oily skin. They purify, refresh and energise and are packed with phytonutrients, which enhance the vitality of the body's stem cells and promote skin regeneration. They smooth out wrinkles, moisturise the skin and enhance skin tone and elasticity.
DIY apple balm and masks
Apples and apple cider vinegar are nothing short of a miracle treatment when it comes to face and hair care. They have the same pH as the skin and, as such, are ideal for beauty applications. To give one example, apple cider vinegar is the perfect toner; the acetic acid has an exfoliant effect, and causes the pores to contract. When apples are used in a face mask, their pectins enhance the skins ability to absorb moisture, thus ensuring lasting results.
And the best thing of all is that you can make this miracle-mask easily and quickly in your own home! All you need is an apple, a tablespoon of oatmeal and a teaspoon of bee honey. Firstly, soak the oatmeal in water until it swells up. In the meantime, finely grate the apple, peel included. Now, mix the oats together with the grated apple and honey. Apply the mask, leave for about 30 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. The result? A rosy-fresh complexion and flawlessly clear pores!
For silky-soft hair, treat yourself to a homemade apple and apple cider vinegar mask. To make it you will need an apple, two dessertspoons of apple cider vinegar, a teaspoon of lemon juice and a teaspoon of oatmeal. Mix all the ingredients together, and then massage them into dry, unwashed hair. Leave for 30 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.
The secret behind it all
It is the high vitamin and flavonoid content of apples that makes them such an invaluable beauty product: They contain vitamins A, C and E, and zinc, creating a blend that is famed for its regenerating, protective properties. Apples are commonly used in anti-ageing treatments because they contain so many nutrients which firm the tissue and promote cell rejuvenation, giving you a radiant glow and a supple complexion. Other active ingredients, particularly pectin, leave even the most sensitive skin feeling as soft as velvet.

Fitness bracelets, activity trackers, smart watches and other accessories and gadgets that allow you to track user activity 24 hours a day are still in trend. For the most part, if you do not need tracking heart rate (heart rate) and the smart wake function (the bracelet tracks sleep phases), then the capabilities of the iPhone will be enough. In this article, we will tell you all about the "movement and fitness" feature in the iPhone and how much it can replace the capabilities of separately purchased devices and applications.
Starting with iOS 8, every user with a more or less up-to-date version of the iPhone has the opportunity to track their activity. The pedometer does not require the purchase of any accessories, and its accuracy is at a fairly high level.
♥ BY THEME: Charging in the office: a set of exercises for all parts of the body (video).
Which iPhones have a built-in pedometer?
- iPhone 13 Pro Max;
- iPhone 13 Pro;
- iPhone 13;
- iPhone 13 mini;
- iPhone 12 Pro Max;
- iPhone 12 Pro;
- iPhone 12;
- iPhone 12 mini;
- iPhone 11 Pro Max;
- iPhone 11 Pro;
- iPhone 11;
- iPhone SE 2;
- iPhone XS Max;
- iPhone XS;
- iPhone XR
- iPhone X;
- iPhone 8;
- iPhone 8 Plus;
- iPhone 7;
- iPhone 7 Plus;
- iPhone 6s;
- iPhone 6s Plus;
- iPhone SE;
- iPhone 6 Plus;
- iPhone 6;
- iPhone 5s.
That is, all devices running iOS 8 and newer have a built-in M coprocessor, which is responsible for the activity and ensures the energy efficiency of the device. And also, starting with the iPhone 6, the smartphone has learned to count the number of floors passed.
In fact, you can use older "iPhones" to track activity, but here you have to be content with third-party software (in fact, it is often better than the "Health"Coming" from the box ") and tearfully observe the rapidly decreasing battery charge, since for accuracy the GPS will be involved, and not just the gyroscope.
♥ BY THEME: Cardiio: Heart Rate, or how to measure your heart rate using an iPhone without buying additional devices.
How to turn on iPhone pedometer (steps, distance and calories)?
First you need to activate the tracking function, which is turned on by default, but many turn it off to save battery power.
1… Go to Settings → Confidentiality → Movement and fitness…
2… Activate the switch opposite the item "Fitness tracking"And grant access to the application"Health".
♥ BY THEME: 2 exercises that will keep you healthy for years to come.
How do I use the pedometer in the Health app on my iPhone?
Run the standard application "Health"And go to the section "Activity"…
The following menus will be displayed at the top of the screen:
- Distance of walking and running – indicates the distance taken while walking or running.
- Steps – indicates the number of steps taken.
- Energy of activity – indicates the number of kilocalories spent during activity.
- Rest energy – indicates the number of kilocalories spent at rest.
In each of the menus, all information about this activity will be collected.
Here you can get detailed statistics for the day, month, week or year.
For a detailed report, click on the orange graphical calendar.
For a convenient analysis of the steps taken, distance and calories burned, add the necessary activities to Favorites. For this:
Go to the Summary tab and click the Edit button. Place an asterisk next to the required activity point.
After the performed actions, the selected activities will appear in "Chosen One" in the tab "Summary"…
♥ BY THEME: What should be the pulse of a healthy person and how to measure it.
Should you buy a fitness tracker or should you go with the iPhone?
The desire to own a fashionable accessory can merge into your purchase of an often expensive wrist gadget, which you may not even use in the future.
To get started, try walking with your iPhone and see if in 2-3 weeks you will be interested in the collected information or if you lose interest in it. Moreover, the error of the smartphone is very, very small. It will not be superfluous to test various third-party applications, free copies of which are a dime a dozen (Runtastic, Argus, Runkeeper and others).
Unfortunately, the iPhone will not be able to track two sufficiently necessary things – heart rate (this data may be needed by athletes who want to work at the limit of their capabilities and constantly expand their range) and sleep phase tracking (a smart alarm clock is an interesting enough feature that really works and allows most comfortable to wake up).

Release Date: October 27th, 2006 (Film Forum) by Zeitgeist Films.
The Cast: Ebru Ceylan, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Nazan Kesal, Mehmet Eryilmaz, Arif Asçi, Can Özbatur, Ufuk Bayraktar, Fatma Ceylan, M. Emin Ceylan, Semra Yilmaz, Ceren Olcay, Abdullah Demirkubuz, Feridun Koç, Zafer Saka.
Directed by Nuri Bilge Ceylan.
In Turkish with subtitles.
BASIC PREMISE: The relationship between Isa (Nuri Bilge Ceylan) and his younger wife, Bahar (Ebru Ceylan) gradually deteriorates.
ENTERTAINMENT VALUE: Climates has a minimal plot, yet still manages to be oddly engaging thanks, in part, to a very organic screenplay. The film begins just as Isa and Bahar's marriage crumbles at a cataclysmic scene while they vacation on beach in southern Turkey during a hot summer. Bahar simply doesn't want to be with Isa anymore since their romantic chemistry has waned. Their roughly 10-year age gap doesn't help, either. She explicitly states that to him face to face and, immediately after their vacation, she departs to Istanbul alone. Months later, during autumn, Isa meets up with his old girlfriend, Serap (Kesal), and, in a somewhat humorous and bizarre scene, they both engage in rough foreplay which, believe it or not, includes nuts—the edible kind. Isa still pines for Bahar and soon asks Serap where he could find her. During a snowy winter, he locates her small town in eastern Turkey and tries his best to win her over by teller her that he has changed. Just like in his last film, Distance writer/director Nuri Bilge Ceylan uses visuals as a medium to communicate character development and plot development rather than relying on dialogue. Although the plot has no real surprises, at least not a single scene feels contrived or over-the-top. Many scenes move at a slow pace, but the richly textured scenery and exquisite cinematography, along with convincing performances from the leads, help to keep you engrossed.
SPIRITUAL VALUE: Climates highlights some seemingly simple yet complex relationship issues such as lack of chemistry, unrequited love, and the incapability of letting go to one's past. The very poignant ending shows that Nuri Bilge Ceylan has learned a great deal about romantic relationships throughout his life.
INSULT TO YOUR INTELLIGENCE: None.
IN A NUTSHELL: Smart, poignant and engrossing with exquisite cinematography.

February is Black History Month, and the Alliance will be spending time over the next four weeks looking back, ahead and celebrating Black Canadians' resilience and survival through slavery, colonization and racism while creating strong, vibrant communities. We'll celebrate Black leadership in Ontario's health system, and some of the innovations communities have built to combat inequity and systemic racism. And we'll also look ahead to what still needs to be done, and what the future could hold.
Towards the Best Possible Health and Wellbeing for Everyone
Health and wellbeing are human rights: Celebrating how Alliance members deliver on the commitments of the United Nations' Universal Declaration
Today is International #HumanRightsDay. At the Alliance for Healthier Communities, we want to celebrate some of the ways our members are standing up for human rights such as health care, access to public and social services, education, and community involvement.
Congratulations are in order to the staff, board, and community members and partners of Gateway Community Health Centre, on the opening of their expanded and renovated space in Tweed.
On November 26, local leaders, partners, community members, clients as well as staff and service providers gathered to mark the milestone for the centre, which opened its doors to Tweed and the surrounding communities in 1991.
Are you looking to make a difference at home for this #GivingTuesdayCA? Searching for a local organization to donate your money, time or resources, where you know you'll be able to see the results in your own community?
Spotlight on Community Connectors: Windsor-Essex CHC celebrates 10 years with launch of new mobile unit
On October 24, Windsor-Essex Community Health Centre (weCHC) officially launched its "weCHC on Wheels" mobile primary health care unit. It was quite a way to celebrate the CHC's 10th anniversary!
Human beings are social creatures – we need and seek out connections throughout our lives. These connections are essential for us to not only survive, but to thrive.
When we're navigating unknown territory or facing adversity, good connections are what can get us through. That's why a connected health system – comprised of connected teams of health and social care providers who encourage close bonds and cooperation in their communities – is the bedrock of a healthy society.
Healthier Community Builders work in partnership and cooperation with others to create the conditions for everyone to achieve their best possible health and wellbeing. We put the spotlight on these local heroes to bring their work into wider discussions of what it means to build healthier communities. This week, the spotlight is on community gardening at North Hamilton CHC.
Centre de santé communautaire de Sudbury-Est leads the way for Francophone, Purkinje-based centres in TELUS PS Suite EMR transition
Being the first fully bilingual centre to go live on TELUS PS Suite is a significant achievement. Yet, even though they are a smaller centre, with fewer resources, Centre de santé communautaire de Sudbury-Est (SECSC) was more than up to the task. SECSC also had the distinction of being the first centre to migrate from Purkinje to TELUS PS Suite. We spoke with the Executive Director Michel Mayer about his centre's implementation and experiences at going live.
Spotlight on Healthier Community Builders: Lori Kleinsmith receives top honours for health promotion in Ontario
Over nearly a decade working as a health promoter at Bridges Community Health Centre in the south of Niagara Region, Lori Kleinsmith has driven herself and others to find ways to impact public policy to support health and wellbeing.
The South Riverdale Community Health Centre (SRCHC) agreed to be the beta testing site for the migration and implementation of Nightingale on Demand (NOD) to TELUS PS Suite Electronic Medical Record (EMR).

I've grown rather concerned with the volume of scam calls I receive on a weekly basis, the majority originating from a "Highjacked" local number. These calls and scams have become so commonplace we as consumers have grown complacent. People fall for these scams and are defrauded out of sometimes every dollar to their name.
Where's the accountability?
For the cost of service it should weigh heavy on a morally obligated provider to protect it's users from these attacks, but it seems that simply is not the case. Instead we're offered another product to pay for? This is insane. Your network is vulnerable and so are we.
This is something we should all be angry about, and hold our providers accountable to a solution. Yes there are responsible countermeasures we all need to take for our own protection, but to those we pay handsomely for a vulnerable service, where are you?
Make this stop.
Outraged customer.

Every week, the culture critics at Token Theatre Friends bring their fresh perspectives to the performing arts on their podcast and video series. You can find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes, and Stitcher (look for the all-red logo). The video series is available on YouTube. The TTF theme song is by Sean Mason (with vocals by Angela Ramos). The video animation is by Brad Ogden, with logos by Jason Simon.
It's been one year since theaters shut down all over the world. We're all still processing our new reality in different stages. The way to commemorate this strange anniversary couldn't be one of just sadness over what we lost or admiration at the perseverance of artists. Instead we thought our tone should reflect what's mostly in our hearts: gratitude.
This is the first episode in a series called "Thank You Theater-makers." We talk to artists who have been experimenting with new mediums, rediscovering skills or realizing untried dreams. We talk to artists who have been holding space for their mental health and experiencing grief. We talk to artists who gave us their gift in new ways, and to those who we are sending love to, while they resume the practice of their craft.
We begin this series with one of our favorite guests, Daniel K. Isaac. The versatile actor who has charmed us with his warmth and immense love for theater. Over the past year he has showcased his natural talent as a playwright and delighted us on social media with his book recommendations. We talk to Isaac about returning to his TV work on Billions, and what's next for him as a writer.
Thank you, Daniel <3

Imaging description AP and lateral elbow radiographs (Fig. 96.1) of an 11-year-old girl with elbow pain demonstrated a small subarticular lucency in the lateral capitellum with surrounding sclerosis and subtle flattening of the capitellum. Based on these imaging findings a diagnosis of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the capitellum was made. Radiographs are the most common initial modality for screening patients with suspected OCD. In the elbow, supplemental views such as 45 degrees flexion or oblique views may help to demonstrate the lesion. Elbow radiographs may be normal in the early stages of OCD of the capitellum. With disease progression, flattening of the capitellum is noted with focal rarefaction and non-displaced subchondral fragmentation. In late stages, a focal defect of the articular surface may be noted, with presence of a loose body. A radiographic classification of OCD has been described based on AP radiographs. A grade I lesion demonstrates cystic change in the lateral or middle capitellum, a grade II lesion shows a gap between the lesion and the underlying subchondral bone, and a grade III lesion is characterized by the presence of a loose body.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — DHI Group announced today that Dice, its leading career marketplace for technology professionals, has released its first issue of The Dice Tech Job Report: Fastest Growing Tech Hubs, Roles and Skills. The report highlights the remarkable demand for data-oriented occupations and skillsets across tech and addresses why smaller tech hubs are amassing top tech talent.
Demand for data-oriented occupations and skillsets skyrocketed in 2019
2019 saw continued demand for data-oriented occupations and skillsets. The top tech occupations for 2019 reflect the need for specialized technologists like data engineers who can move and prepare information, data analysts who offer interpretation of valuable insights, and data scientists who develop machine learning models that can process large datasets. Data Engineer was the fastest growing tech occupation (up 50% Y/Y) followed by Back End Developer (up 38%), Senior Data Scientist (up 32%), CRM Developer (up 29%) and UI Developer (up 24%).
Fastest Growing Tech Occupations
|Y/Y Growth
|1. Data Engineer
|2. Back End Developer
|3. Senior Data Scientist
|4. CRM Developer
|5. User Interface (UI) Developer
|6. Python Developer
|7. Android Developer
|8. Devops Engineer
|9. Front End Developer
|10. Cloud Architect
Fastest Growing Tech Skills
|Y/Y Growth
|1. Kubernetes
|2. Docker Software
|3. Microsoft Azure
|4. DevOps
|5. React Javascript
|6. Data Science
|7. Ansible
|8. Tableau
|9. Salesforce
|10. Atlassian JIRA
In line with 2019's most in-demand occupations, the top skills for 2019 further emphasize the need for technology employers to support end-to-end workflows. Kubernetes topped the 2019 list of hottest skills as containerization needs have grown considerably over the past few years. With a year-over-year growth of 82%, Kubernetes also has a projected growth of more than 67% in the next 10 years. Data Science grew by 28% Y/Y, Machine Learning by 22% and Python by 17%.
Fastest growing tech hubs attract both companies and talent
Smaller technology hubs showed tremendous growth year-over-year. Jacksonville, Florida was the fastest growing city in terms of job postings (up 54% Y/Y), followed by Columbus, Ohio (up 38%); San Diego, California (up 37%); Sunnyvale, California (up 31%); and Cincinnati, Ohio (up 27%). These new and innovative tech centers' year-over-year growth continues to outpace well-established hubs like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles due to lower cost of living, higher quality of life, and the growing opportunity for jobs.
"2019 brought to light a number of fascinating developments in the tech industry as a whole, but also to broader industries that rely on technology to do their work," said Art Zeile, CEO of DHI Group, Inc., parent company to Dice. "It's clear that smaller U.S. tech hubs are embracing data-rich roles and skillsets, which are key in growing any tech or non-tech business. As the demand for technologists increases across the U.S., the time required to fill specialized roles will increase, requiring businesses to continue to find ways to stand out. An understanding of where technology is growing and what technologists are seeking are both paramount to successful 2020 recruitment efforts."
About the Report
Introducing: The Dice Tech Job Report
The Dice Tech Job Report is a comprehensive look at the fastest growing tech hubs, occupations and skills through the analysis of job posting data provided by Burning Glass, alongside insights from Dice's expertise and industry knowledge. This quarter's issue covers the whole of 2019 and highlights the continued innovation taking place across multiple facets of the technology industry – geographically, in tech occupations and skillsets, and in garnering talent. Future issues of The Dice Tech Job Report will be published quarterly and will cover data from the prior quarter.

As our gorgeous blog prepares to celebrate two years as the black hole of the cultural zeitgeist, we are wont to glance in the review mirror at the detritus left in our fearful wake. To translate for our home schooled/Baptist/Tuscaloosan readership: we reckon we orta take a gander back.
When COWA was still in its infancy, we discovered the alarming phenomenon of Ms. Verka Serduchka, a zaftig, tone-deaf Ukrainian drag queen and living reminder of Chernobyl's tragic legacy. At the time, she had just been selected to represent Ukraine in that annual celebration of international bad taste, Eurovision.
The song she "performed," an ear-raping discosaster called "Danzing: Lasha Tumbai," was spectacularly bizarre. An appalling marriage of disco and polka, it featured dancing twinks flailing about in shiny silver boy scout uniforms and BLACK KNEE-HIGH SOCKS (we can't emphasize that enough). Verka herself was clad as a transsexual hybrid of the tin man and a mirror ball, huffing and puffing her way through the odd choreography, her relationship with the song's key growing increasingly estranged. Watch the video of Verka's Eurovision performance at your own risk: it gets stuck in the head like a tumor.
Alas, Verka placed second in Eurovision, losing out to a caterwauling Serbian lesbian called Marija Serifovic who looked like Thelma from Scooby Do and wailed about something no one understood because it was in Serbian. Ukraine wasn't even the gayest entry that year. England took that honor.
So what has become of Verka? Well she's done some more videos. In her defiant yet deluded "I am Eurovision Queen," the poor woman appears to have lost her tenuous grip on reality. In it, she compulsively irons a blouse, yells gibberish into a shower head and alienates the populace of several European cities, all while dragging around her pet; a terrified midgette clad in a Finnish track suit and a babushka.
Increasingly peculiar, Verka's cover of German thrash-metal group Rammstein's "Du Hast" features prancing construction workers and fire-breathing peasants. It looks like a production of La Cage Aux Folles directed by Fassbinder and set in Dante's Inferno.
But perhaps most shocking is this footage of her shaking her groove thing with iron-fisted Belorussian tyrant Alexander Lukashenko. Remarkable, considering Verka is banned from Russian and Belorussian television. It cannot be denied: Verkamania will change the world. Or, in the words of our favorite Belorussian commentator on the YouTube page: "Bwa-ha-ha! Transvestoid dances with political tyran! (sic) It is to laugh all!"
"Transvestoid" is now officially our favorite word. Viva transvestoid Verka!
Verka sez: "Seben-seben-ai-lu-lu! Subscribe to this blog's feed!

- Aware + Awake. Consciousness is in the body, not just in the mind, and not limited to just our labels of it. Sensations are the threads that unite us to the land: the flora + the fauna. What we belong to. What made us and sustains us. Within us and Without us. Subtle communications that hum and translate through words like 'vibes' and 'intuition' – as all things communicate and radiate, these sensations thus resonate. A web of influence on our environmental prowess. Our surroundings shape us. Our information shifts us. We are not separate – not apart – but a part of it.
- Protection + Action. Instead of being coddled in the illusion of emotional shame, we spin it around. Rewilding our grounding / collaborative tools to be more engaged with our surroundings: our environmental status. This is one and the same. Reclaiming and reinventing the symbols that catch us in wheels of self-fulfilling, ego-centric cycles of perpetual patterns, so that we can give ourselves boldly to the natural world within and around us past the sentiment of appreciation: but with the strides to preserve and protect it and PROTECT OURSELVES through our participation. To resist the placement of only our hum'n special interests at the center of every circumstance. To preserve and care for our selves to then apply the gift of our wellness within us to what is around us.
- Mind + Heart harmonium. Develop an open path between the two. Neither should reign, but be symbiotic in their dual translations. In any exchange, we open ourselves to see that everyone we communicate with is shaped by their experiences, their traumas, their belief systems. Their story. Learn to witness them with/out these, in the wholeness of empathy, and in offering to the temple of their wellbeing, to their body; "how can we help each other to illuminate us?" / "how can I see you purely" / whilst meanwhile holding our own boundaries through clear, concise communication. This takes practice. Speak for the feeling. This brings clarity to our behaviors and reactions. Reciprocal understanding.
- Show Up + Speak Up. Before we internalize our judgements of others: seek the language to show them the way back to our nature of unity. Do not assume to know anything about anyone. Do not speak for them. Get the story from the source and be in consideration of it. Don't ever trap any one or any thing in your labels or get snared in the baggage associated with separation. Always access the common ground for mutual growth. Strive to see them for what they are in the purity of that exchange.
- GET REAL + TO FEEL. Any person possesses the potential of being bewildered by bullshit. They can't even feel the truth anymore and they don't even know it. Sufferings from a system shaped in sleight of hand: the high prices in privilege. Division begins in the mind and severs the path of unity with our Body. Discomforts can be impetus for radical growth if we are willing to look at and feel them. Revolutions and revelations for evolutions and elevations. We build each other in our relate-abilities: united in our combined strengths but by our collective unraveling from the bullshit too.
- Catch + Release. Acknowledge every one as if you just met them with the groundings of renewal. Allow growth to be revealed. Create and Delegate the Space for Emotional Expression and Acceptance, for your self and for others. Hold what is dear and relevant for nourishment. Let go of the rest. Fluidity prevents toxicity. We are all capable of toxicity just as much as anyone or anything else. It's in how we nurture to move it through.
- Receiving + Giving. In reflective participation of all dualities in nature (night and day, sun and moon, life and death) we reciprocate thus in the way we speak and how we act. Our means of communication. We balance through reflecting and radiating. Following. Leading. Weaving. Together.
- Be Healing + Be Warrior. Check in with the wisdom of our body: if we are not under any threat and have our primitive needs met (food, shelter, clean water, comforts) we open ourselves and stand from this place of safety and security. A conversation should not destroy us. It can enhance our relationships. We are beholders. We can touch and collaborate with the exchanges of any circumstance.
Protect y(our) Mind + Body + Spirit
Every moment anew. One place to express your tedious practices: the nectar is in the exchange.
In recognition that to have an adequacy with words is either a gift or an effort of hard work or an entitlement in itself –
but expression is the lesson here
communication is the key
The way of blooming into the transparency of being seen and accepting the boundaries therein through the fine-tuning of ones feelings;
such sensations made so unfamiliar by the bewilderments suggested through this narrative ~
and there are circumstances where words will not pass the grade
and righteous action by any means necessary prevails where conversation fails
but always:
Empathy Will Move Our
Mind's World in Heartspeak
medicine to soothe the sore
medicine so needing
medicine they're pleading
such a ripple cast from the dipping of these waters
Inclusively, cleverly, beautifully mending the earthen realm of belonging justice for the gift of living ~
but consider the reality of violence
how it exists – with or without this
and how the systems we are leaving behind
shaped in it
conjured these circumstances
were the ripples cast from catastrophic catalyst
And language moves with it
used for unspeakable harm
words spun for poison
at the wellspring of our births
rots at the root
silent no more
loud and clear
this is nothing new
now you just can't turn away
and you are glaring
at every
was hidden
that you hid
and there's no running now
no running away –
running a way
running toward
running to ward
beautiful beings
of all kinds
criminalized, marginalized
reach out
and support them
and where emotions are powerful sensations like fluid water that pass so swell through the vessel of your own self
that self you worked so hard on
riding the backside of fruitless burials
such room
to breathe
on stolen land and stolen bodies and broken treaties and Indigenous genocide
(you see it now?)
do you see it now
do you see it now
do you see it
(it's been t/here
this whole time)
dare we keep repeating it?
(should we continue
to think in patterns –
then we are doomed to fail)
are you listening?
these who still wear
a glory for slaughter
who have no consideration
no conscience
are the ones for whom our ferocity is drawn upon
our rage and our sorrow
and if not for the threads of heart
so entwined to catch the descent
into that hallow abyss of wallow
our want to heal
and empower
and grow
and bloom
with our feet on the same grounds
sowing in the seeds of empathy
by the pinnacle of understanding
Through touching the source of the trauma
so as to know the whole story
and where to spark the fire
for renewal
Pathfinders again
remembering forward

I Like Country Music
|Sarah Gayle Meech
By Walter Price
Country music' is such a loose term these days, you know, since the genre has all but disappeared in the last 50 years and what you hear on US pop-country-mega-bro-corporation programmed stations is but a shadow of the deep rooted folk leaning sounds of times past. But that's cool, for some people.Since I am not one of those who drink the Kool Aid, I'm always keeping my ears open for any sign of life, any sign that there is hope, that there will be a revolution of sorts and program directors will wise up and stop the madness.I've been down this dirt road before and this subject continues to make me crazy as a loon.
Anyhoo, I thought I'd offer up some honest, gritty, beautiful and killer alternatives to whatever it is 'they' want us to think is 'country music'. Further proof that there is light at the end of Nashville's tunnel…

Why Is There Drama Between Reality Queens Deavan Clegg and Jenelle Evans?
Deavan Clegg from the '90 Day Fiancé' franchise is involved in drama with 'Teen Mom' alum Jenelle Evans. Why are the two reality queens feuding?
Since her appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, Deavan Clegg has been controversial and entangled in drama. On the TLC reality show, the 23-year-old singer and mother was with her now-estranged husband Jihoon Lee.
The pair got engaged and welcomed a child together. Not too long after having her baby, Deavan and her daughter Drascilla (from a previous relationship) moved from Utah to South Korea to be with Jihoon.
After a tumultuous relationship that involved parenting mishaps, financial woes, and in-laws that butted heads, Deaven left Jihoon. Since then, the two of them have been fighting over their son Taeyang, and Deavan has been constantly criticized online while the custody battle develops.
Deavan has accused the 90 Day Fiancé franchise of improperly editing her storyline with ex Jihoon. As reported by In Touch Weekly, the reality star talked about the show and its producers in an Instagram story.
She disclosed, "The greater lesson I've learned is how evil some people can be. The truth of reality is dark and evil. Fake scenarios taken from real life to ruin many people's lives. My heart goes out to the many people who have taken their lives this year due to reality TV going [too] far."
Deavan is now feuding with someone else. It seems that she and ex Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans have some drama going on between them. Why are these two reality personalities feuding?
The feud between Deavan Clegg and Jenelle Evans is over a podcast.
Deavan, Jenelle, and Gabbie Egan, a social media influencer most famous for her posts on TikTok, were working together on a podcast called Girl S#!t. Reportedly Jenelle was set to be the show's producer, and all three girls were to set to star in it.
Allegedly, when all three of the girls came together to get ideas about the podcast, Deavan was not happy to discover Jenelle's controversial past.
Deavan was upset to learn about the incident in which Jenelle's husband, David Eason, allegedly shot her dog Nugget after the pet nipped at their 4-year-old daughter's face. Clearly, Deavan did not like what she learned about Jenelle and didn't want to be associated with her.
At this point, the creators of the podcast heard Deavan's complaints and told Evans not to come to the launch party for the podcast. She was reportedly fired from the podcast shortly after.
The TLC star discussed the firing with The Sun and said, "I told the [podcast] owner I would not be involved in a project that is working with someone with these allegations. It's everything I'm against." After the podcast was eventually dropped, Deavan accused Jenelle and Gabbie of "bullying her," while Evans is claiming that her co-host "went behind her back" and tried to get her ousted from the project.
Jenelle has spoken out about the feud between her and Deavan.
In a 44-minute YouTube video, Jenelle tells her side of the story and alleges that after spending the weekend with the reality star, her anxiety medication went missing. She says, "While we were at the studio in Tennessee for the Girls podcast, Deavan and Gabbie were taken by car by my husband with me to and from the studio for two days. Gabbie and Deavan would go out to their cars separately by themselves and make phone calls, I guess to their families to check up, which is fine."
She goes on to say, "But when I left Tennessee, my anxiety medicine was missing for my esophagus and I don't think Gabbie had anything to do with it. And it's really sad because I have esophagus problems daily. My food makes me choke. It was gone. It was gone at the time that I needed it the most."
The reality star denies that she had anything to do with Jenelle's missing medication, and told The Sun, "I don't know why she would accuse me of something like that. I only stayed in the Airbnb for two nights and away from her the remaining two nights. I didn't even know she was on prescriptions until she later kept talking about taking Xanax on her Instagram and TikTok. I'm taking her to court over this."
According to TMZ, Deavan has plans to sue Jenelle for defamation of character and for cyberstalking. She may also take legal action against Gabbie because supposedly she violated an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) associated with the podcast.
It will be interesting to see how all the drama unfolds. The feud between Deavan and Jenelle will most likely only get worst from here.

The Women of Pablo Picasso: Marie-Thérèse Walter and Picasso
Marie-Thérèse Walter and Picasso (1927-1936)
n 1927 Picasso met Marie-Thérèse Walter (1909-1977),
a 17 year old who Picasso then lived with in a flat across the street from his marital home (while still married to Olga). Marie-Thérèse and Picasso had a daughter, Maya (Maria de la Concepcion) on October 5, 1935. (Picasso and Olga later separated although they remained married so Olga would not receive half of Picasso's wealth — until she died in 1955. )
Picasso's relation with Marie was kept from Olga until Olga was told of Marie's pregnancy. Marie understandably became jealous when Picasso started to fall in love with Dora Maar in 1936, a year after Maya was born. It was Marie-Thérèse who was the inspiration for many of Picasso's famous Vollard Suite etchings. Marie-Thérèse died by hanging herself in 1977, four years after Picasso died. Maya's son, Olivier Widmaier wrote "Picasso: The Real Family Story" about his artist grandfather, in 2004.

01/11Royal gems and jewelleries
When it comes to the British Royal Family, their long-standing traditions and ancestral status is not the only thing that meets the eye of the public. Besides being one of the most renowned royal households in the world, the British royals are also known for their remarkable collection of royal jewels, passed down through generations. From the magnificent St. Edward's Crown, last worn by the current Queen Elizabeth II of England during her coronation, to Princess Diana's iconic engagement ring, the British royalty sure has an extraordinary line of elegant yet stunning royal heirlooms and precious adornments. To give you a proper glimpse of it all, here are 10 most exquisite gems and jewelleries owned by the British Royal Family.

02/11The Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom
Currently protected and kept hidden in the Tower of London, the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom are the ceremonial objects used at the coronation of British Kings and Queens. Amongst the many sacred items, the Crown Jewels consist of the St. Edwards Crown, which is the centerpiece of the Crown Jewel, the Imperial State Crown, the orb, the sovereign's scepter, rod and the ring.
The Coronation regalia contains 23,578 precious stones, amongst which the Cullinan I is the largest clear cut diamond in the world, set in the Sovereign's Sceptre with Cross. However, one of the most controversial yet most significant jewels amongst all the other precious stones is the Koh-i-Noor diamond, which was originally from India and later acquired by Queen Victoria. Up until today, the diamond has featured on over three consort crowns.
03/11The Lover's Knot Tiara
This beautiful diamond and pearl headpiece, also known as the Lover's Knot tiara, was originally made for Queen Mary in 1913. It was later passed on to her granddaughter, the current Queen Elizabeth II of England. The stunning tiara was further loaned out to Princess Diana for her wedding and although the Princess chose to wear her family's heirloom piece for her wedding, she was spotted flaunting the same at various occasions.
04/11The Four Row Japanese Pearl Choker
The exquisite Four Row Pearl Choker was reportedly presented to Queen Elizabeth II by the Japanese government in the 1970's. Since then, the Queen has worn this beautiful pearl neckpiece at her visit to Bangladesh in 1983 and also lent it to Princess Diana and Kate Middleton.
05/11Brazilian Aquamarine Parure Tiara, Earrings, and Necklace
In 1953, the sets of diamond and aquamarine pieces in the Brazilian Aquamarine Parure Tiara, Earrings, and Necklace were originally presented to the Queen by the Brazilian president as a coronation gift on behalf of the people of Brazil. It first started off with a necklace followed by the other matching sets of jewellery, including the tiara made by Garrard from an additional collection of Brazilian stones.
06/11Princess Diana's Garrard engagement ring
One of the most iconic engagement rings in the history of British royalty is that of Princess Diana's. Adorned with 12-carat oval Ceylon sapphire surrounded by diamonds studded in white gold, the ring was reportedly hand-picked by the Princess herself from the Garrard jewelry collection catalog. Currently, the ring reigns on the fingers of Kate Middleton, after Prince William proposed to her with the same.
07/11The Delhi Durbar Tiara
Dating back to the colonial era of the British monarchy, the Delhi Durbar Tiara was originally made in 1911 for a celebration that marked the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary in the Delhi Durbar. This magnificent headpiece was later given to the Queen's daughter-in-law or the Queen Mother. The tiara made its most recent appearance in 2005, when the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles wore it to a royal event.
08/11Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau
Queen Mary's Diamond Bandeau is a simple yet beautiful headpiece, adorned with multiple diamonds of different sizes. The royal diadem was last worn by Meghan Markle on her wedding day in 2018, almost seven decades after it was worn by Queen Mary in 1950.
09/11Maple Leaf Brooch
The Maple Leaf Brooch was first given to Queen Elizabeth by her husband, King George VI, to mark their state visit to Canada in 1939. In 1951, the brooch was loaned to Princess Elizabeth – the current Queen of England - during her trip to Canada. However, after the passing away of the Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II inherited the jewellery piece and since then has lent it to Camilla Parker-Bowles and Kate Middleton for their trips to Canada.
10/11The Cartier Halo Tiara
This exquisite piece of tiara, also known as the Cartier Halo Tiara, was first purchased by King George VI for his wife, Queen Elizabeth. Later, the Queen Mother gifted it to her newly turned 18 year-old-daughter, Princess Elizabeth. This beautiful diamond studded diadem was most recently worn by Kate Middleton on her wedding to Prince William.
11/11The Amethyst Heart Necklace
In 2012, during the premier of the British spy film "Skyfall", all eyes were turned towards the mesmerizing Amethyst Heart Necklace worn by the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker Bowles. The elegant neckpiece was originally given to Queen Elizabeth a.k.a. the Queen Mother, on her wedding to King George VI in 1923. Later, the necklace was inherited by the current Queen Elizabeth II.

New Testament giving just like the covenant itself is a very new thing. Giving in the New Testament is very important and a crucial part of the church. In 2 Cor.9:6-7 the apostle Paul said to the Corinthian church,
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
I hope you know that tithing is sowing sparingly, New Testament giving is about purposing in the heart not calculating of the tithe. If it were the tithe there would be no need for purposing in the heart. Where did Paul get this revelation from? It is in Exodus 25:1-2,
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
This was not a tithe they were to bring, it was much more than a tithe. It is the Lord who instructed Moses. Moses was not trying to fundraise. In Exodus 36:5, the people brought "much more than enough" of the offering. They brought much more because they were willing. This is what Paul saw as the New Testament giving and told the Corinthians to give cheerfully. In Gen. 22:1, when the Lord told Abraham to take his only son whom he loved and offer him as a sacrifice, that was not a tithe. That was bountiful sowing, a sacrifice. After that the Lord proclaimed great blessings upon Abraham. David the king was preparing for the temple and gave with his might (1 Chronicles 29:3-5). After that, all the chiefs gave and in verse 9 it says,
Then the people rejoiced for that they offered willingly, because with a perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
So giving is by willingness a reflection of a perfect heart and it is crowned with exceeding joy. It is not tithing. No wonder we give the tithe and be sad still. This is the time to graduate from tithers to sowers, bountiful sowers, purposeful with a willing heart, giving cheerfully. Poverty will never be our portion for ever.
