Law enforcement is one of the most in demand, but also the most thankless profession. The police, like the army, merely reflect the deep processes of society. Most people who protect our peace and health do it out of duty, without sparing themselves. Services involved in maintaining order have existed as long as the state itself. The Russian police began its journey with the reign of Peter I. In 1715, he created a security service that monitored public order. It was at this time that the name “police” appeared. The Ministry of Internal Affairs was created much later, under Alexander I. Its tasks included: establishing and maintaining calm, fighting deserters and fugitives, fire safety, monitoring the condition of roads, trade, and supervising shelters. The formation of the service continued until the middle of the 19th century. First, the Ministry of Police was created. Then laws were gradually adopted that established detective departments and service departments. After the revolution, a workers' and peasants' militia was created to maintain order. It performed almost the same functions as the police. Literate citizens aged 21 and older who supported Soviet power were accepted into its ranks. They gave a subscription, which they were obliged to serve for at least six months. From this moment on, the history of the Soviet and then the Russian police begins - October 28 (November 10), 1917. The history of the police is closely connected with the history of the country. There are many glorious and heroic pages in it. Employees fought on the fronts of the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars and fought against saboteurs and spies. The majority of personnel always celebrate their holiday at the combat post, protecting our peace. Like the whole country, the police have experienced a lot during its existence - the cult of personality, the thaw, stagnation, perestroika, the collapse of the USSR and the formation of the Russian Federation. These are dramatic and epochal times. The chaos of the 90s affected employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs almost more than other structures of the state. Low wages, lack of modern technical means, lack of understanding of society could not break people who selflessly serve the country and society. The police have repeatedly proven their dedication and high professionalism. Privates, sergeants and officers continuously solve everyday problems to protect the country and society from criminal activities. Until recently, the holiday was called "Police Day". According to the Law “On Police”, the service changed its name in 2011. And before the next professional date, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the name was changed to the Day of Employees of the Internal Affairs Bodies of the Russian Federation. On November 10, they not only reward distinguished employees, but also congratulate service veterans. The holiday is always a little sad - we remember the comrades who died in the line of duty. Unfortunately, the best of us leave first, but this is another reason to serve better not for money, not for gratitude, but at the behest of duty and honor.

International Accounting Day is celebrated on November 10th. The date, which unites all people in the profession, was chosen in honor of the events of the 15th century and the outstanding personality of that time - the mathematician Luca Pacioli. He is considered the founder of modern accounting, and his book, published on November 10, 1494, “The Sum of Arithmetic, Geometry, Relations and Proportions,” included a section that for the first time described in detail the accounting affairs of that time. Pacioli was born in 1445 in Borgo San Sepolcro, a small town in the Florentine Republic, where he received his early education and worked as an apprentice to an artist. A wealthy Venetian merchant noticed the talented boy and hired him as a tutor for his three sons. He continued his education, and by 1470 he had compiled the first textbook of commercial arithmetic. Then he taught at the oldest university in Italy, and after taking monastic vows, he studied not only mathematics, but also theology. His varied interests contributed to his friendship with Leonardo da Vinci, and several works were done jointly. Pacioli died in 1517, leaving his descendants with amazing, encyclopedic knowledge, formulated in simple and understandable language. His most famous book was written in Italian (rather than Latin), and this contributed to its spread as it served as the only textbook on accounting. He did not invent the system from scratch, but described the methods and principles of operation. It covers much of the accounting cycle as it was used in the profession for the next four centuries, including the double entry way of doing business. He introduced journals and registers into use, developed rules about debtors and trustees (debtors and creditors) and warned that the accountant should not sleep until the debit equals the credit. For his fundamental work, he received the status of “father of accounting,” although the history of primitive accounting began thousands of years ago. The reason was the dawn of the Sumerian, Chaldean and Assyrian civilizations, when the ancestors of modern farmers became financially strong. The rulers owned significant amounts of land and livestock, and of course wanted to control this. In palaces, temples, and large cities there were scribes who had a separate title and performed the necessary accounting activities, while simultaneously recording data on clay tablets or more expensive papyrus. Thus, the double entry system was known in Mesopotamia in 3500 BC. e. Seals with the names of their owners and religious symbols with images of gods sealed the deal. In ancient Egypt, accounting practices at the government level developed in a manner similar to those in the Mesopotamian Valley. But ancient Egyptian accounting never progressed beyond the compilation of lists. But the Greeks made a more significant contribution to the evolution of accounting systems in the form of the introduction of coined money in 600 BC. e. and development of the banking system. In ancient Rome, accounts were recorded by the heads of families or their proxies, and daily payments and receipts were kept in a special “diary”. There were also monthly checks, called codes and expenses in Italian. The management of public expenditures was entrusted to auditors, who were supposed to provide data to the Roman Senate. The period of the Italian Renaissance and the development of trade gave the world the works of Pacioli, which should be read by professionals - people with a “discerning and inquisitive mind,” as the mathematician himself put it. Today, without a qualified accountant, no organization can exist and grow. A prestigious professional competition (Accounting Case Competition) is dedicated to the holiday, allowing participants to realistically assess their accounting skills and competence, as well as experience real-life practical scenarios. The event has its own concept with the intention of encouraging students and staff to enrich their knowledge. Technology does not stand still - software has created a significant shift in the industry. For those who embrace change, there are additional opportunities to improve high-performing processes. The prosperity of not only private companies, but also the economy of the entire state depends on the competent work of specialists in this field. Let us add that Accountant's Day in Russia is celebrated annually on November 21.

World Science Day for Peace and Development is celebrated almost all over the world on November 10th. The initiative to create such a global event, designed to show the relationship between science, society and the outside world, was first presented at the World Scientific Conference in 1999. The assembled delegates from UNESCO, the UN specialized branch for science, culture and education, decided to celebrate the international day annually, which has been done since 2002. UNESCO regularly analyzes new trends in technology, innovative developments, and most importantly, strives to ensure that countries learn to share the scientific achievements obtained. Each year, the main, most relevant theme is chosen for the holiday, which makes it easier to attract the public. This helps to best meet human needs and the challenges of the modern world, which have long gone beyond the boundaries of one specific discipline. The UN, in all its projects, always calls for active assistance and participation, primarily at the government level, from specialized research institutes. Press coverage, open days, presentations will be able to involve the maximum number of participants. Every person can contribute, and the easiest thing is to visit a science museum or exhibition. Such science centers play a significant role in promoting and publicizing the importance of scientific discoveries, thereby ensuring the sustainable development of society as a whole. They are able to develop the curiosity of a person, especially the younger generation, and encourage further learning. Exhibitions where you can experience the secrets of science yourself, such as optical illusions and crystal growing, are becoming increasingly popular. The combined use of a rigorous scientific culture and an engaging form produces the best results by interacting with other aspects of human culture, including the arts and humanities. And Russia has a lot to offer and show today: interesting thematic museums and exhibitions can be found in any major city. For example, anyone interested in space science should visit astronomy festivals, where the latest technologies will be demonstrated. You can find exhibitions and presentations in both natural and technical disciplines. You can gain a piece of knowledge in the field of science through lectures and conferences on various topics, prepared in unusual formats. The popularization of science ensures an influx of youth and future specialists into high-tech areas of production, which has a positive impact on the development of individual countries. And although science in its pure form does not have an ideology, it can serve as a tool in achieving national goals. The main application of science and technology today is the development of healthcare, education, clean energy, climate protection and much more, without which a quality life for every person and a sustainable future for the entire planet is impossible.

On November 10, on all continents of the globe, millions of young people celebrate World Youth Day - a holiday that originated on the initiative of young men and women who survived the most terrible event of the 21st century - the Second World War. The holiday date was established in honor of the creation of the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFYD), a global event that took place in London on November 10, 1945 at the World Youth Conference. The Youth Conference was organized by the World Youth Council, which at that time united more than 30 million representatives of the multinational young generation of the Planet, who were adherents of various religious views, political views, but seeking to overcome fascism through common efforts. The WFDY was also called upon to prevent a repetition of the most brutal war, calling on the youth of the whole world to unite, with a powerful united front to resist the instigators of military conflicts, to fight for justice, equality, and the independence of peoples. The UN recognizes the WFDY as an international left-wing youth non-governmental organization. The Federation is active in political activities, helping to strengthen peace. In 1959, she supported the USSR proposal for general complete disarmament. Initiated the Day of Struggle against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs. The priority area of ​​activity of the WFDY is the protection of the rights of young people. She initiated and actively contributed to the creation of numerous international organizations to provide material support to youth in Latin America and Africa. Thousands of students study at universities on WFDY scholarships. The Federation promotes the development of youth contacts in the field of tourism, labor, and helps implement all kinds of solidarity projects. The most important event known to many is the World Festival of Youth and Students. The first one was held in Prague in 1949, and subsequently the mass celebration of friendship and peace between the youth of the Planet became a regular event, held every two years. The political and cultural program of the festivals includes discussions, seminars, concerts, and is aimed at creating mutual understanding between peoples of different nationalities and cultures. The internationally useful activities of the WFDY, the first organization in the history of the youth movement that unites youth from all over the world, inspire respect. On World Youth Day, we wish every girl, every boy to remain young and energetic until their most venerable years, but from a very young age to understand that only peace, justice, equality will make all of humanity and each person individually happy. Happiness is within the control of anyone; it’s so easy to make friends with the guys from the neighboring yard, to help someone who is defenseless or deprived of fate. Happiness and peace to everyone! Let us remind you that there is also International Youth Day, which is celebrated annually on August 12, and Russian Youth Day, celebrated on June 27.

Black and white photographs and films have a special aesthetics; they attract viewers with an inexplicable mystery and magic. A monochrome image gives greater expressiveness to people’s appearance, imparts deep meaning to life’s stories, making them part of a contrasting world. November 10 is a fun and nostalgic holiday - Black and White Film Day. Getting to know old paintings allows you to enjoy the image captured on film without being distracted by the riot of colors and special effects of color cinema. Black and white films were longer than modern blockbusters and carried a greater meaning. The directors thoughtfully and slowly approached the filming of films - they looked for a suitable location, meticulously selected actors, rehearsed and filmed many takes of scenes if the artistic sense required it. The process of creating a black and white film and the resulting result are indisputable evidence that cinema is rightfully considered one of the art forms. Few modern directors, cameramen and actors can convey the palette of feelings and create on the screen a special atmosphere inherent in black and white films of the past. The top 50 best films of all time include “City Lights” with C. Chaplin in the title role, “Casablanca” with H. Bogart and I. Bergman, “Citizen Kane” directed by O. Wells, “Rashomon” by A. Kurosawa and "Dolce Vita" by F. Fellini. "Roman Holiday" with the sophisticated Audrey Hepburn, filmed in 1953, and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1966) with the inimitable Elizabeth Taylor are included in the register of films that have special cultural, historical and aesthetic significance. “My life, cinema, black and white cinema! I love your light and darkness - old spectator, I am ready to take any place in the cramped ranks of yours,” Andrei Mironov sang. The lack of color and special effects in old films is more than compensated by the catchy dialogue of the actors and sometimes unexpected plot developments. Black and white cinema is a world of halftones, understatement and visual perfection. It contains an amount of color and emotion that is not always found in color films. All scenes in black and white films were filmed as moving pictures. In each frame, all the laws of composition inherent in fine art are observed. But unlike artists, directors and cameramen of black-and-white cinema observed the laws of composition in motion. Directors often resort to monochrome images when filming historical films and documentaries. Such masterpieces as “Schindler’s List”, “Good Night and Good Luck” and “Ed Wood” owe their popularity among the public and professional awards not least to their black-and-white visuals. This retrospective technique helps to achieve the desired psychological effect and concentrate the viewer’s attention on the idea of ​​the story. Monochrome paintings are not inferior to color ones in depth of meaning and imagery. To watch old films, you need to be patient - not every viewer can handle a lot of static scenes and the slow development of the plot. Therefore, only true connoisseurs of cinema celebrate November 10 as Black and White Cinema Day.

The word “paraskeva” translated from Greek means “preparation for Saturday”; among the Eastern Slavs, Friday was also considered a semi-holiday. The Day of Paraskeva Friday was sometimes called Flax Day, because on it, of all things, women were only allowed to ruffle flax. November 10 was also called Muddy, since at that time the autumn thaw began.

On November 10 (October 28, old style), the Slavs paid tribute to the most important female deity - Mokosh. She was the companion of the pagan god Perun. The influential goddess was especially revered by women: they considered her their protector. Some researchers associate the image of Mokosh with women in labor who spun his fate at the baby’s bedside. She was represented as a long-armed woman with long hair, symbolizing flax. Constantly working insects - bees, spiders, ants - were considered assistants to the goddess. According to Slavic beliefs, you should never kill them: this could offend Makosh and bring disaster to the family. The goddess's spheres of influence are weaving and spinning, as well as any women's crafts. Since Friday was considered Mokosh’s day, which since ancient times was considered a market day, it was customary to connect this goddess and trade. From November 10, women began winter work: weaving, embroidery, spinning and sewing. However, on Mokosh day itself it was forbidden to work with threads and yarn. Negligent women who violated this ban were subject to public censure. On this day, otherwise known as the “linen show,” the girls took frayed flax out into the street, demonstrating to each other the excellent quality of their work. In order not to cause trouble in the form of a severe illness, there was a ban on bathing women and children. They threw a tow (fibers of flax, wool), yarn, coins, and cloth “for an apron” into the well. It was believed that having received such demands, Makosh would protect all the women of the clan. On this day, representatives of the fairer sex lit a fire and danced two round dances around it: both in the direction of the sun and against it. Married women prayed to the goddess, asking for family well-being, the health of babies, or relief from infertility. Also on this day, they wore a rope bracelet on their right wrist, protecting them from bad luck. After the adoption of Christianity, the image of Mokosh was replaced by the image of the folk saint Paraskeva-Friday. However, some rituals aimed at honoring Mokosh have survived to this day.
