The Marine Corps is a unique branch of the military. Working at the intersection of two elements, fighters are able to operate effectively in any of them. Unmatched combat skills and rich traditions make Marines formidable fighters. Despite the fact that the Vikings can already be classified as marines, the history of this type of military began much later. The development of the navy confronted any state with the need to ensure the safety of bridgeheads, the safety of landing zones, and the protection of naval bases. The formation of a specialized branch of troops gradually took place. It sounds incredible, but, nevertheless, in the case of the Marine Corps, it also could not have happened without Peter I. His travels in Western countries brought great benefits to the country in various areas. Formation and arrangement of the army, including. The idea of ​​​​creating a marine corps was also brought from that trip. Historically, the date of creation is considered to be the date of signing of the imperial decree - November 27, 1705. The country's desire to get closer to Europe did not find understanding from Western politicians. It was the young, strong army that became a reliable support for Peter’s affairs. In many international affairs, the Marines played first fiddle, helping to open a window to Europe. From the moment of their birth to the present day, Marines do not sit idle. In both World Wars, in local conflicts and secret operations, the Marines fulfilled their duty. The merits of officers, sergeants and privates have always been rated extremely highly by the state. It is not uncommon for the head of state to receive the highest awards. November 27 is not a day off. The holiday was approved by the Order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy in 1995. But this does not make it less significant in the eyes of those who served and continue to serve, those who are familiar first-hand with the difficult service in the Marine Corps. A professional holiday remains such regardless of the situation and the desires of officials. Marines perform the most difficult tasks to ensure the country's defense capability. Most Marine combat operations are dangerous offensive operations, often associated with heavy casualties among personnel. Landing on the coast, seizing a bridgehead and strategic objects, advancing deep into enemy territory. This is not a complete list of the capabilities of the elite of the Russian army. The small branch of the military is armed with modern small arms and protective equipment. Marine units are equipped with modern means of landing, movement and attack. For the Marine Corps, there is no such thing as “peacetime.” Constant combat readiness, complex daily training, and combat duty allow us to maintain the highest level of combat skill. Marines are constantly used by the state to solve combat missions in local conflicts, to ensure the safety of our citizens abroad and in many other important tasks. Marine Day is a celebration of a hero, a hero of past wars, a hero of the present, standing guard over our country.

As you know, everything has its price. Determining the real value of urban real estate, vehicles, land plots, as well as large and small businesses is the task of a qualified appraiser. Professional valuation of movable and immovable property began to be dealt with in 1991, after the first edition of the “Law on the Privatization of State and Municipal Property” came into force. However, official approval had to wait another five years until November 27, 1996, when, by the Decree of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation, a new professional position - property valuation expert - fully came into force. Every year on November 27, assessment specialists celebrate their professional holiday. The event is unofficial, since the date is not fixed in the calendar of memorable dates of the Russian Federation. Despite the fact that the holiday is an ordinary working day, large companies try to organize various corporate events, and small firms gather at a common table with colleagues at the end of the working day. Appraiser Day is a time when you can share experiences, talk with employees on general topics and just relax. It is customary in society to honor workers in one industry or another. In other words, every profession in Russia has “its own date.” In 1999, when the community of appraisers providing services for determining the value of property was finally formed, it was decided to celebrate the holiday on November 27, the day the profession was founded. The holiday is not limited to group gatherings and corporate events. For many years now, city and all-Russian communities of appraisers have been organizing thematic conferences and symposia, where they improve their skills and discuss current industry issues. The holiday does not bypass those who are just studying. Teachers and students of the assessment department in specialized educational institutions try to diversify the school day with interesting seminars, or organize an “open day” for school graduates. The profession of an appraiser is in great demand. Over the short years of its existence, a generation of first-class experts has grown up who are ready to pass on their experience to newcomers taking their first steps in this difficult task. The work of an appraiser is associated with financial risks. Any mistake may result in losses for both clients and third parties. Constant currency fluctuations, unstable oil and gas prices, rising customs duties and an unstable standard of living of the population directly and indirectly affect the economic situation in the country. Today housing is becoming cheaper, cars are becoming more expensive, but in two years it may be exactly the opposite. Therefore, the market for appraisal services is steadily growing and developing, annually replenishing its ranks with high-class professionals.

In the modern world, many species of wild flora and fauna are under threat of extinction. Animals that require special attention and protection include land, freshwater and sea turtles. These representatives of the reptile order are very popular as pets. But due to the irresponsible behavior of their owners, abandoned reptiles have to look for a new home. Zoo defenders and simply caring people take part in events dedicated to Turtle Support Day every year on November 27th. The initiator of the Turtle Adoption Day celebration was Christine Shaw, who is looking for new homes for animals in distress. Reptiles, like cats and dogs, need warmth, comfort and proper care, which negligent owners are not always able to provide. Having played with the pet enough, they give it to a shelter or release it into the wild, where the turtle’s chances of survival are low. In addition to natural enemies, sharks, crocodiles, foxes, jaguars and monitor lizards, reptiles are hunted for dietary meat and shell. Therefore, in 2011, on the initiative of an American animal activist, Turtle Adoption Day appeared on the calendar. The events, held on November 27, are aimed not only at finding new homes for domesticated reptiles, but also at protecting them from poachers. According to the Convention on International Trade in Wild Flora and Fauna, turtles are endangered. Their export and import must be carried out in compliance with certain requirements and if the sellers have the necessary documents. The future owner needs to know that it is officially possible to sell only the second generation of turtles bred in captivity, nurseries and zoos. A responsible approach to buying a pet and checking documents is one of the ways to combat the smuggling of wild animals. To live comfortably at home, land reptiles need light, warmth, constant air temperature and a balanced diet. Chinese trionics, aquatic red-eared, Caspian, marsh and other species of turtles need a spacious terrarium with a regular and UV lamp. Pet food is selected depending on natural preferences: the diet of omnivorous reptiles consists of 50/50% plant and animal foods, while that of predators consists of fish and seafood. Aquatic turtles are more whimsical than land turtles. Arranging their corner requires large financial investments. But all representatives of this reptile species require equal attention and care. Zoologists warn that turtles are wild animals, so the owner should not count on the affection and warm feelings that cats or dogs generously bestow. Taming reptiles is a long and difficult process. Before getting a turtle, you need to understand the full extent of the responsibility and make an informed decision. These reptiles are long-lived. Therefore, the owner must be prepared to take care of a pet with a shell on its back or an aquatic soft-shelled turtle for years and even ten years. Reptiles provide just as many benefits as other pets. Reptiles, according to scientists, “infect” their owners with their unhurried and measured approach to life, calming the nervous system and activating mental activity. According to Feng Shui, the turtle symbolizes wealth and good luck. It protects the owner and his home from adverse influences - fills the space with favorable energy, strengthens marriage bonds. Everyone who lacks stability and well-being in life takes an active part in Turtle Support Day - they take animals from nurseries, making their contribution to the protection of wildlife.

Cyber ​​Monday is the day when happy shoppers sweep goods off the virtual shelves of Western online stores. This is understandable - after all, during Cyber ​​Monday, discounts can reach 90% of the original cost of items. The autumn sales season (and at the same time the preparation for Christmas) begins with Thanksgiving Day - one of the most revered public holidays in the United States, which falls on the last Thursday of November. On this day, it is customary for families to gather, cook turkey and thank loved ones for all the good things that have happened over the year. The weekend following Thanksgiving Day, many Americans devote themselves to shopping, and enterprising store owners organize grandiose promotions. This attraction of unprecedented generosity was called “Black Friday”. It sounds like the title of a thriller, but no - the whole point is that in the days of paper accounting, it was customary to write down profits with a black pen, and expenses with a red pen. This tradition has existed for more than half a century - since 1966, and it is actively adopted by marketers around the world. Over time, the idea of ​​holiday discounts was borrowed by online platforms. Only instead of Friday, the next working Monday became the sales day. Now during Cyber ​​Monday, netizens see “sell” banners “-30%”, “-50%” “-90%” everywhere. For them, this is a great opportunity to purchase a desired device, some household appliances, clothing or cosmetics, and entrepreneurs, thus, liquidate goods that are stuck in warehouses and significantly increase turnover. Residents of other countries can also take advantage of lucrative offers from online stores during Cyber ​​Monday. There are several ways to do this: 1. Order the items you like directly from the selling website (you will need knowledge of English and delivery to your region). 2. Make a purchase at the address of your friends, acquaintances or relatives living abroad and ask them to send the items by mail/courier/bring them in person. 3. Contact intermediaries. Just type in the search something like “goods from the USA”, “delivery from America”, “shopping in England” - and you will see many offers from companies that will help you quickly buy and deliver the desired product directly to your door. True, most of them work on an advance payment basis, so you should be careful when choosing an intermediary, study the reputation, read reviews, or better yet, check by making your first purchase for a small amount. What an interesting day Cyber ​​Monday is. I wish you useful purchases, good discounts and pleasure from shopping!

Orthodox holidays November 27:

There are many holidays in the November church calendar. November 27 (14 old style) marks several memorable dates, including the day of remembrance of the Byzantine saint Gregory Palamas. The saint was born at the very end of the 13th century, and his conscious activity dates back to the first half of the 14th century. At this time, the Byzantine Empire was gradually declining, and its existence was in danger of ending soon. But it was precisely during these times that the final canons and postulates of faith were established in the Orthodox Christian religion. The activities and works of Gregory Palamas played a great role in the correct understanding of Christian subtleties. The family of the young Gregory, fleeing the Turkish invasion, finds shelter at the court of the Byzantine Emperor Andronicus himself. There the future saint receives a wonderful education, studying ancient Greek philosophers and science. The young man is predicted to have a brilliant public and academic career, but he prefers to devote himself to serving the Christian faith and at the age of 20 he becomes a monk. Gregory becomes a novice of the monastery on the holy Mount Athos, practicing hesychasm - that is, the comprehension of Orthodox truths in a state of peace and silence. And even having received the rank of priest in Thessaloniki, Palamas managed to combine it with the hermitage of hesychasm. Soon Gregory had to prove the truth of his chosen path, the impetus for which was the attacks of the learned monk Varlaam. After ridiculing the hesychasts and declaring their teaching heretical, a long dispute began between the monks. In 1341, the subject of their disagreement was the question of the nature of the Tabor light. This light was revealed to the disciples of Christ on Mount Tabor and, according to Palamas, is an expression of divine power, accessible to perception, but not created or sensible. The explanation expressed by Gregory was recognized at the Council of Constantinople as the only correct one, and Balaam’s contradictions were declared heresy. But, despite the recognition, very soon the saint was excommunicated from the church and imprisoned for three long years, finding himself undesirable to the government elite. The change of power again calls Palamas to state affairs and disputes, but on the way to Constantinople he was captured by a Turkish pirate ship. Gregory was a captive of pirates for about a year; all this time he did not give up trying to open the light of the true Christian faith to the robbers. After his release, he lived for several years in his diocese, where his fame as a miracle worker and healer began, where the appearance of John the Theologian descended on him, and where he met his death. The relics of St. Gregory were kept in the Cathedral of Hagia Sophia until the capture of Constantinople by the Turks. Next, the relics were transferred to the Solunsky Monastery and to the main cathedral of this city. In 1914, the new cathedral was illuminated in the name of St. Gregory of Palamas, where his holy miraculous relics are kept. And on December 20, 2009, all members of the saint’s family were canonized by the Greek Orthodox Church: parents, two sisters and two brothers. And today, Gregory’s literary works are revered and translated into many languages, where he finds words to explain the most sublime subtleties of the Orthodox faith.
