Every year on November 12, World Pneumonia Day is celebrated. Pneumonia, according to WHO, is one of the ten most common causes of death among adults. For children under 5 years of age, pneumonia is the most common cause of death. Blue jeans were chosen as the symbol of the event. The color blue symbolizes purity and hope that through common efforts we will be able to reduce the death rate from pneumonia in the world. You can reduce the risk of inflammation through good nutrition, strengthening your immune system, and leading a healthy lifestyle. The main pathogens are: various staphylococcus, pneumococcus, life-threatening Haemophilus influenzae, as well as atypical viruses. They lead to inflammation of the tissues of the upper respiratory tract, and also create favorable conditions for the proliferation of bacterial infections. Prevention of this disease is very important in the fight against the disease. It is worth remembering about preventive measures not only on November 12, but also on any day of the year. The risks of the disease can be reduced by vaccination, good nutrition, high physical activity, and compliance with the simplest rules of personal hygiene. Frequent ventilation of rooms, frequent hand washing with soap, wet cleaning in the house - these simple preventive measures will help reduce the risk of pneumonia and other respiratory diseases. On November 12, it is worth remembering the dangers of tobacco addiction - addiction to cigarettes leads to a decrease in immunity and the appearance of vulnerability of the lungs and bronchi. Nicotine and tar reduce the natural resistance of the bronchi and lungs to respiratory diseases. Therefore, on November 12, you should think about quitting smoking - this step will increase resistance not only to pneumonia, but also to a number of other diseases. A healthy lifestyle should become the norm, which will protect the body from illness. On November 12, doctors and volunteers carry out preventive work with the population. The events are aimed at raising awareness about the dangers of pneumonia, high risks of infection during the coronavirus pandemic, and the impact of a healthy lifestyle on immunity. If you are concerned about the problem, then you should not only learn more about this dangerous disease, but also tell your children and friends about the disease. A more responsible step is to join the ranks of volunteers who conduct educational work and enroll in the ranks of volunteers who are actively helping doctors cope with the consequences of the massive spread of a dangerous disease.

Sberbank of Russia Employees' Day is celebrated every year on November 12th. This date was not chosen by chance and has roots that go far back into the history of the development of the country’s financial structure. In 1841, Emperor Nicholas I signed a decree establishing savings banks in Russia. The first savings banks provided people with the opportunity to leave certain amounts for safekeeping by the bank. Moreover, a system of increasing interest for depositors was introduced, which only added to the popularity of this innovation. History records the very first depositor of the bank. This was the court advisor Nikolai Antonovich Cristofari, who decided to set an example for indecisive people and contributed a considerable sum of 10 rubles at that time. So, he became the first owner of the first savings book. Decades later, Sberbank continues to develop at an astonishing rate. For his clients, he is always ready with a lot of new proposals on how to preserve and also increase their earned capital. Thousands of people work in numerous branches of Sberbank of Russia throughout the country. These are qualified and psychologically savvy workers whose task is to competently serve each client. For people of this profession, November 12 is a serious date, which they celebrate just like any other major holiday. Someone accepts congratulations with their family at a set table. Others go to a corporate party with fun competitions and exciting performances. Many people prefer to go out into nature as a group on this day. Bank employees forget about their positions for a day and communicate in an informal setting, giving each other gifts and warm words of congratulations. On Sberbank of Russia Employees' Day, it may be difficult to choose a gift for a worker in this profession. We must not forget that bank employees are people like everyone else - with their own preferences and desires. Therefore, any gift will once again emphasize the importance of their work.

There are countless holidays that the population of the country did not even imagine existed. Among them is Security Specialist Day. The celebration brings together a huge circle of people - masters in the field of security, experts in creating various protection systems, their installation, specialists in private security. Many businesses depend on services that provide them with maximum security, be it security of the company's premises, homes, educational institutions, banks, hiring a bodyguard or advanced information security programs. Thanks to an application in 2005 from the Internet portal Sec.Ru, which deals with various security issues, Security Specialist Day was established. It is held every year on November 12, with festive celebrations and award ceremonies. For a long time, only men worked in the security sector. Today, despite stereotypes, representatives of the fairer sex are involved in security issues and serve as bodyguards. The reason for this is intuition, feminine thinking, a gentle approach, a calming influence. It is a rare man who can boast of these virtues in his arsenal. The enemy often underestimates such a woman. By the way, the Miss Security competition is held specifically for female security officers. Charming beauties try themselves in the competition to become the owner of the title. Not only the winners receive the main prizes; all contestants are awarded attention, applause and gifts. Among all the specialists in this field, the winner of the “Rank Recognition” competition is determined through an online survey and on November 12 the winner is solemnly awarded. The history of the human protection industry began its origins in ancient times, when in order to preserve the life of an influential and rich owner, people were used who were the first to take a sample of the master’s food and drinks. At that time, poisoning was a common type of murder. In order to protect the owner from poison, such guards were hired. But her main duty was to eliminate the danger to the life of the ruler and protect him from attacks. In the modern world, security instills a sense of security. Bodyguards are often hired by high-ranking officials, influential businessmen or famous artists. To prevent encroachment on personal property, they install tracking systems that control the territory and immediately respond to any illegal interference. Most stores, warehouses, and offices employ people called “security.” It often happens that employees with a background from internal agencies occupy positions in offices that develop high-quality security programs, because they have experience in the fight against crime.

Most countries in the world approve original celebrations in honor of our little brothers. So in Russia a similar environmental holiday has been confirmed. The Russian Bird Conservation Union contributed to its emergence. They called it “Titmouse Day” and began to celebrate it on November 12 every year. This date was not determined randomly. It is on November 12 (October 30, old style) that religious communities of Christians celebrate the day of remembrance of the holy martyr Zinovy ​​​​of Sinitsky and his sister Zinovia. Having lost their parents early, the children distributed their property to their fellow villagers, and themselves devoted themselves to serving the Almighty. In the 3rd century AD. brother and sister preached Christianity in Cappadocia, for this the Lord blessed Zinovy ​​and awarded him the ability to heal people through prayer. The healer received the title of bishop from the people. When the pagan persecution of Christians began, the bishop and his sister were drowned. “Titmouse Day” symbolizes the arrival of wintering birds to a person’s home before the onset of serious cold weather and was created to attract attention to starving and freezing birds and to help them. Among them are tits, bullfinches, goldfinches, waxwings, and jays. Previously, people made wooden feeders with their own hands, but now caring craftsmen prepare them from available materials - these can be hanging plastic bottles or juice boxes with cut out windows. Treats are poured into the bottom: sunflower seeds, zucchini seeds, peanuts or walnuts, and a piece of raw lard is hung on a branch. This day begins the hunting season for fur-bearing animals and the winter fishing season. There is a belief that if hunters manage to shoot at least one animal, then next year the hunt will be successful. With the arrival of birds, our great-grandfathers noted that if a lot of titmice flew to the house, expect severe frosts. If a large flock sits at the feeder, expect heavy snowfall. If the bird waxwings, the day promises to be clear. If it does not sing, but squeaks, frost will set in after sunset. By the way, tits got their name not because of their plumage, but only because the singing of these beautiful babies is similar to “Xin-Xin”. Fans of fortune telling have the opportunity to learn about fate on Sinichkin’s day. They throw in crumbled bread or chopped lard. If the yellow-breasted beauty begins to eat crumbs, then there will be prosperity at home. Eating lard means that living creatures will appear.

The implementation of bold ideas and projects should not be shelved. The ideal time for bringing fantasies and daring plans to life is November 12 - the Day of Creative Fulfillment. Everyone who celebrates this funny holiday can count on a visit to the muse - a source of poetic, musical and any other inspiration. Participation in the creative process of the mistress of art and science will certainly lead to the creation of a real masterpiece or discovery. Danish physicist Niels Bohr assessed each new idea this way: “This theory is not crazy enough to be true.” Imagination and a non-standard approach to solving a problem are a prerequisite for the creative process as an activity aimed at creating something objectively new. It could be a scientific achievement, a musical composition, a work of art or a painting. Creativity carries a magical connotation - literary critics and art historians have been unsuccessfully struggling for decades to understand the “recipe” for the author’s creation of a masterpiece. At the same time, not only a romance or poem has aesthetic or practical value, but also the process of writing it. Readers are fascinated by the fact that the plot of “The Rose of the World,” created by L. Andreev in prison, is based on the author’s mystical visions. Why did Mendeleev dream about a table of chemical elements? Is it true that Paganini sold his soul to the devil for receiving a magic violin, on which the virtuoso performed his sonatas? Readers are intrigued not only by the plot and characters of Gogol’s “Dead Souls,” but also by the fact that the writer burned the last volume of the novel, the contents of which can only be guessed at. However, not every person has the potential to create something fundamentally new in art or science. Start performing everyday tasks and routine duties with imagination - this is the main message of the Day of Creative Fulfillment. November 12 is a good day for writing congratulations on your anniversary in verse to your boss, and for creating a masterpiece in the kitchen according to the recipe you came up with. The day is favorable for unleashing creative potential in all areas. Didn’t you know that you could draw beautifully until you took part in painting a landscape assigned to your son in art? Didn’t realize your fine artistic taste and talent as a decorator until you helped your friend decorate her living room after renovation? The creators of the Day of Creative Fulfillment believe that inspiration will descend on everyone whose soul requires flight. A holiday is a good reason to realize fantasies, plans, dreams and create something unique. You can even take a creative approach to turning parts on a machine, let alone create literary works and music! Remember that inspiration has no schedule, so be creative and dare not only on November 12, but all year round!

Every year on November 12, the Orthodox Church celebrates the day of remembrance of such great martyrs as Zinovy ​​and Zinovia. The saints were brother and sister and lived in a wealthy family, where from birth they were instilled with the love of God. The future weather was determined by the behavior of the birds on this day; if the tits flew in whole flocks, they could expect imminent cold weather. If the birds squealed loudly in the morning, there will be frost at night, if they whistled, it will be a clear and warm day.
