Jewel Day - March 13, 2023

DIANE'S CORNER .. 
Celebrate Jewel Day

It’s a well-known truth that jewels and diamonds are a girl’s best friend. One truly can’t go wrong gifting jewels for a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary. Ornaments are also an excellent way to dress up an outfit and help boost one’s self-confidence.

Jewels are sparkly and attractive and fun to wear all year-round. Anyone would be lucky to receive a brand new jewel to show off to friends and family. It’s all about celebrating the makers, the jewelers, and the actual pieces that have and will continue to delight customers regularly. The day encourages people not only to wear and enjoy their jewels but to take a moment to appreciate the artisans who work hard and diligently to create these beautiful gems.

Learn about National Jewel Day

National Jewel Day is the perfect opportunity to pull out old pieces or to purchase new ones to give to someone else. It’s not just about the beauty of the jewels but also the creative makers who produce these striking items. The purpose of the day is to come together to commemorate these unique pieces that are shiny, blingy, and sparkly and can help enhance one’s outfit and style any day of the week.

One of the hardest substances known to man is a diamond. The word diamond comes from the Greek word invincible, which is very fitting. National Jewel Day is an excellent way to highlight makers and designers who work hard to please their customers. It’s essential to admire their talent and ability to come up with custom solutions and options for each person who shops with them.

Most jewelers offer a wide variety of gemstones and can please even the pickiest of customers. These artisans are talented and crafty and deserve some recognition when it comes to all their creativity and abilities. Not only do artisans make jewelry and work with clients to design pieces made for them, but they also know how to repair and clean jewels so that they look brand new again.

History of National Jewel Day

The word jewel originates from the Medieval Latin word jocale, which means plaything or pastime. One can define a jewel as a gemstone, or precious or semi-precious and natural or man-made. Also, for ornaments made from these gemstones. People have been wearing jewels for centuries, and many view them as a way to reflect one’s status in society. Ornaments of all shapes and sizes have been, and today people wear them for both functional and decorative purposes. While the origins of National Jewel Day are unknown, many people acknowledge and celebrate this special day annually.

(Not So) TOTALLY USELESS FACTS OF THE DAY
Toyota is headquartered in the city of Toyota, Japan, but wasn't actually named after the city. The city was originally called 'Koromo,' but was renamed 'Toyota' in 1959 because the company had become so famous.

Bill Gates is so rich that the average American spending $1 is similar to him spending $1.06 million.

Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.

YOUR CALL by Sylvia, CAN DO Correspondent

Lazy Lady's Shower Spray
Tired of cleaning and scrubbing your shower stall's ceramics? Scrub it once now, then take a break for the next few weeks, at least. How?

Into a spray bottle put:

1/4 c. isopropyl alcohol
1/4 c. white vinegar
1/2 t. dish detergent (Dawn is excellent)

Top it up gently with warm water, swirling as you go to disperse the detergent, then cap tightly.

Before showering, spray down the shower wherever it gets wet. Afterwards you can rinse those areas down. This spray takes the minerals down the drain and leaves your ceramic clean and shiny. No kidding, I only scrub every few months...but then, there is only me using the shower and my spray.

PICTURES OF THE DAY

The rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), is a species of Old World monkey native to South, Central, and Southeast Asia. It has the widest geographic range of all non-human primates, occupying a great diversity of altitudes and a great variety of habitats, from grasslands to arid and forested areas, but also close to human settlements. Generally brown or grey in colour, it is 47 to 53 cm (19 to 21 in) in length with a 20.7 to 22.9 cm (8.1 to 9.0 in) tail and weighs 5.3 to 7.7 kg (12 to 17 lb). Due to its wide availability and biological similarity to humans, the rhesus macaque has been used extensively in medical and biological research. It has facilitated breakthroughs including vaccines for rabiessmallpox, and polio and antiretroviral medication to treat HIV/AIDS. A rhesus macaque became the first primate astronaut in 1948, but died during the flight, followed on 14 June 1949 by Albert II, who became the first primate and first mammal in space. This male rhesus macaque, of the subspecies M. m. mulatta, was photographed in the Gokarna Forest, Nepal.

ICE BREAKER thanks, Kris
You can use 'ice breaker questions' to build a rapport, enabling strangers to engage in back and forth conversion. With a little practice and possibly a beer or two, you’ll be breaking more ice than the Titanic.
