Representatives of 42 countries gathered in Quebec (Canada) on October 16, 1945, and established the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Thus, representatives of the largest and most developed countries took a step towards solving the problem of hunger on our planet. After the establishment of this Organization, various mechanisms began to be created that could help in solving the tasks set before the leadership of all countries, peoples and small nations to provide food to all those in need. To more successfully achieve these goals, it was decided to establish a special World Food Day, celebrated on October 16, starting in 1979. The objectives of World Food Day are:• to draw attention to the activation of national and state food production, as well as the development of bilateral and multilateral cooperation programs in this area and the involvement of non-governmental organizations in work in this area;• to promote the development of technical and economic cooperation between developing countries; • encouraging people living in agricultural regions, especially women and the least privileged, to participate in decision-making and take action. Positively affecting living conditions in the region;• raising awareness of the problems of malnutrition and hunger in the world, as well as promoting the spread of food processing technologies among developing countries;• strengthening solidarity and mutual assistance at the international and national level in the fight against food shortages and poverty. Focusing on solutions to problems and successes achieved in the development of the agricultural industry and the production of nutritional supplements and food products. The adoption of this solemn date for the first time officially announced the introduction by most countries of the world of programs aimed at creating conditions for the consistent development of the agricultural and processing industries, which are aimed at eradicating hunger of the inhabitants of the Earth. This is not accidental, since malnutrition and hunger negatively affect not only the socio-political situation in various countries, leading to an increase in crime, but also the gene pool of humanity as a whole. Children born in countries that belong to the “third world” suffer from various disabilities in physical and mental development, which does not allow them to fully claim a worthy place in society. On World Food Day, a variety of charitable events and activities are organized, the purpose of which is to alleviate the plight of people, both in third world countries and in more developed countries. Activists from various charitable organizations and institutions hold congresses and conferences aimed at finding solutions to the most pressing problems. In addition to ongoing events, every year on October 19, a maximum number of educational events are held aimed at informing earthlings about the hungry and the threats that hunger poses to our society. On this, as on any other day, peacekeeping and charitable organizations deliver humanitarian aid to areas of natural and man-made disasters, military operations, natural disasters, etc. Since 1981, each World Food Day has been celebrated under a different slogan. This decision was made to highlight issues that require immediate public attention.

On October 16, anesthesiologists celebrate their professional holiday. The date was not chosen by chance: on October 16, 1864, a revolutionary breakthrough in medicine occurred. In one of the Boston clinics, dentist William Thomas Green Morton removed a submandibular tumor under ether anesthesia. Morton's ideological inspirer and mentor was Charles Jackson, a physician and enthusiastic student of chemistry. Soon the invention was patented, and millions of people had the opportunity to have their teeth treated and operated on without experiencing unbearable pain. Anesthesiology bears the title of the most merciful science. The ancient Greek philosopher Dioscorides thought about anesthesia. In addition to philosophy, Dioscorides studied medicine and studied the properties of wild herbs. He noted and meticulously recorded the properties of some plants that reduced a person’s sensitivity to medical manipulation. In the 20th century, a separate specialty appeared - resuscitation. Medicine was developing rapidly, and one doctor was no longer enough to perform major operations. A person was required who not only administered the exact amount of anesthesia, but also monitored the patient’s vital signs and, if necessary, could perform resuscitation procedures. In the 21st century, different types of anesthesia are used: intravenous infusions, sprays and drops, volatile gases and gels. Throughout the operation, the anesthesiologist monitors the patient’s vital readings: heartbeat, blood pressure, saturation. He, along with the operating surgeon, is responsible for the life and health of the patient. Anesthesiologists work in various medical fields. They are necessary in surgery, psychiatry, and narcology. Anesthesiology is secretly considered one of the most erudite specialties. A doctor must have fundamental knowledge in all major areas of medicine. For a professional, anesthesia is not a science, but an art. And, like any art, it is interesting and understandable only to those who have learned its subtleties. The work of the anesthesiologist begins long before the operation. The doctor studies the medical history, conducts an examination, and psychologically prepares the patient for surgery. Before surgery, the patient is given an intravenous infusion, which helps to relax and relieve tension and anxiety. There are 4 types of anesthesia:• sedation;• local;• regional;• general. During sedation, the patient is in superficial sleep, dozing. Sedation is used for invasive procedures such as colonoscopy. Local anesthesia is used for surgical interventions when it is necessary to numb a specific area of ​​the body. Regional anesthesia blocks sensation in a specific part of the person’s torso, while the patient remains conscious. General anesthesia is accompanied by a complete loss of consciousness and sensitivity of nerve endings. Since 1992, the Federation of Anesthesiologists and Reanimatologists has been operating in Russia. It unites 56 organizations throughout the country. The main task of the Federation is to promote the development of Russian anesthesiology and resuscitation, strengthening professional ties. On October 16, anesthesiologists around the world gather at conferences and congresses. On this day, congratulations are accepted from: resuscitators, developers of anesthetic drugs, students and teachers of specialized universities.

Cereals, namely bread, have always had a special place, so no one is surprised that a special day is dedicated to this product. In 1945, on October 16, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) began its activities. The essence of her work was to solve problems regarding agricultural development. And 5 years later, the UN General Assembly issued a resolution proclaiming World Bread Day. The day of celebration coincided with the day of creation of FAO - October 16. In 2006, the UN re-approved this date. This holiday is considered international, it is known and celebrated all over the world. In addition to International Bread Day, there are other holidays dedicated to it. For example, Khlebny Spas, Day of Bread and Salt (Agafin's Day), Harvest Festival (in Belarus), Bread Day in different countries. These days, it is customary to remember ancient traditions and customs - to bake bread from the grain of the new harvest, to surround the home with bread and salt, to honor the people whose work is associated with the production of bread. In many countries, exhibitions of bread products are held, fairs are held, and leading bakers, culinary specialists and confectioners conduct master classes. The best specialists hold conferences in national and international formats. Folk festivals are held everywhere, charity events are held, where volunteers and activists raise funds and also distribute bread to everyone who wants and needs it. At fairs and exhibitions you can taste different types of bread and bread products, as well as expand your horizons by learning a lot about the production of a valuable product, its history and traditions. All over the world, bakers and grain growers receive congratulations and thanks for their difficult but very useful work. World Bread Day is another way to draw public attention to the problems of hunger and poverty around the world. On this day, those who actively participate in fairs decorate their clothes with grains. From all sides you can hear songs and ditties about bread. In almost every family, at least one meal is accompanied by bread. Even if you are on a diet, bread and crackers are still present in the house. And this applies to all nationalities. In past centuries, bread was the most striking indicator of a family’s well-being. Only wealthy people could afford white bread, but the poor class could only eat a product made from rye flour. It was only in the 20th century that people learned about the benefits of rye and grain bread - and even then these types became popular. According to research, the first bread products appeared approximately 8 thousand years ago. At first, the shape of the bread product was flat - that is, ordinary flat cakes. The cereal was mixed with water, the dough was kneaded, and then baked on hot stones. There is no definitive version of how our ancestors came up with baking bread. It is believed that the culprit was accident and carelessness, when the grain mixture overflowed over the edge of the pot during cooking and baked on the hot surface. Since then, baked bread has been an integral part of the daily diet of almost every person. The first yeast bread was baked by the Egyptians. Even then, references to bread were found in ancient manuscripts - the product was designated by a circle with a dot in the center. Nowadays, a person eats about 35 thousand rolls in his entire life, which equals approximately 7 tons of bread. Previously, only round bread was baked, but now you can find baked goods of various shapes, using various technologies. Bread is still baked at home, in ovens and bread machines.

A properly built relationship with the boss is the key to the success of any employee. Often, ordinary employees complain about their bosses, considering them to be extremely harsh and unfair towards them. Subordinates forget that their bosses are people who bear the burden of responsibility, both for personnel and other resources, and for the progress and results of the work process. An international holiday is dedicated to managers at various levels - Chef's Day. Every year this holiday is celebrated on October 16th. He copes with work teams not only in Russia, but also in many other countries. It all started in 1958, when Patricia Haroski, who worked as a secretary in her father’s company, congratulated him on his birthday (October 16) not as a parent, but as a beloved boss. The interesting idea was picked up by other company employees, who also congratulated their boss. After this, Patricia submitted a proposal to the US Chamber of Commerce to approve a holiday on which subordinates could express gratitude to their leadership. Four years later, he was officially approved by the Governor of Illinois. Thus, the founder of International Boss Day was an ordinary secretary of an insurance company, Patricia Haroski. According to Patricia’s idea, on this day, subordinates should demonstrate to their boss their respectful attitude. Soon the tradition of celebrating Chief's Day spread far beyond the American continent and appeared in other countries: Australia, Ireland, India, etc. What should a good boss be like? A good leader must, first of all, be a professional in the field in which he works. He must have an excellent knowledge of all production processes. A mandatory quality of a boss is adequacy in relation to others. The boss must be able to correctly perceive criticism of his decisions. An astute manager will be able to see possible problems in time and determine ways to solve them. A good boss is an example for his subordinates. That is why discipline and responsibility are important qualities of a chef. This holiday is an excellent occasion to show respect to your superiors, as well as to establish contact with them. After all, good relationships between management and subordinates contribute to the successful coordinated work of the entire organization. On this day, subordinates collectively congratulate their superiors, present them with flowers, souvenirs and memorable gifts. Employees express warm words to managers and thank them for their support and understanding. In some companies, employees organize buffets. In the evening, relatives and friends also join in congratulating the heroes of the occasion.

World Healthy Eating Day is celebrated on October 16th. But some call it differently, for example, “No Excess Eating Day.” Surely there are other names, but their meaning boils down to the need to control nutrition, which is so important for almost every person. This is a relatively recent holiday, which is believed to have appeared in 2011. Moreover, some researchers believe that the creation of this holiday was a conscious decision by activists leading a healthy lifestyle in order to contrast their values ​​with American ones. It is known that the United States celebrates Gluttony Day, and this holiday causes a lot of criticism. In order to balance the situation, a healthy alternative was created. There are no specific instructions on how exactly the celebration should be celebrated. But based on their name, it becomes clear that traditional parties and going to a restaurant would be inappropriate here. On the contrary, numerous organizations popularize a healthy lifestyle and encourage people to stop eating unhealthy food on this day. Unfortunately, this is the majority of food. This also means giving up fast food, numerous processed foods that many people eat not just on a regular basis, but every day. But don't think that everything is so simple. You can often hear that activists call for World Healthy Eating Day to give up other foods that are not healthy for humans. For example, coffee, chewing gum with added sugar and flavor enhancers, carbonated drinks and other little things that people often don’t pay attention to. You should give up both the “heavy artillery”: hot dogs, burgers, and any junk food: sour, spicy, fried. And even more. There are many activists who believe that October 16 should be spent without meat products, since this is also a rather heavy food associated with an increase in cholesterol levels in the blood. On October 16, activists are calling for a critical review of your entire diet and stick to healthier options for the rest of your life. Of course, in addition to food, this also includes numerous biologically active additives, sugar substitutes of dubious quality, sweeteners, vitamins in excessive quantities or not approved by a doctor. Thus, October 16th can turn into a real challenge for almost every person. There is no need to expose yourself to so much stress, after all, it is a holiday. You can often come across advice from people that on this day you just need to devote a little more time to yourself, your health, and a healthy lifestyle. Perhaps you should get together with your family and friends, go not for a traditional picnic with an abundance of fatty kebabs, but for a walk in the park or forest. Moreover, it is better to make the most of this time, communicating with your loved ones and thinking about how to make your own life more fulfilling and healthy. It so happens that most people live at a really frantic pace, and they simply have no time to think about what they eat and drink, what kind of air they breathe, what stress they expose their own body to. In order to stop the series of frantically running days, World Healthy Eating Day was created. Little by little this celebration is becoming more and more popular. There are many ordinary people or activists representing numerous organizations that on this day popularize a healthy lifestyle or reveal unpleasant facts about what hot dogs, sausages, and processed foods so beloved by many actually are.

The spine is an important part of the human body, which is involved in the movements of the body and head. Back pain due to excess weight, a sedentary lifestyle, sudden heavy lifting and other reasons affects 1 billion people around the world. Every year on October 16, World Spine Day is celebrated, which draws attention to the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment of back diseases. Human anatomy requires both the ability to withstand heavy loads and the flexibility of the body. This functional feature is provided by the vertebrae, which are responsible for strength, and discs with joints, which affect shock absorption. A trained person removes the angle of inclination of the body to the sides, equal to 180°. This occurs due to the flexibility of the spine. Its formation begins from the first days of a child’s life and ends by the age of 20-22. However, you need to closely monitor the condition of the spinal column throughout your life. A strong muscle corset that secures the bones of the back allows a person to lift weights. A healthy spine can support a load weighing up to 400 kg. According to statistics, men most often suffer from back diseases. This is due to their receiving traumatic injuries to the spine. Women complain of back pain due to bone osteoporosis - a physiological feature of their endocrine system. Representatives of the fairer sex are most susceptible to this disease during menopause. People's height changes by 1-2 cm during the day. Thus, in an upright position when walking upright and exposed to the force of gravity, it decreases. During night sleep, after muscle relaxation, the intervertebral discs expand. Therefore, in the morning, compared to evening measurements, growth rates increase by 1-2 cm. Pain in the spine is not always associated with pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. If discomfort is observed in the thoracic region, this may also mean the presence of a stomach ulcer; in the area of ​​the coccyx and sacrum - inflammation of the kidneys and pelvic organs. A person has from 32 to 34 vertebrae, successively connected to each other vertically. Their number depends on the physiological characteristics and formation of the column. Thus, the coccyx can have from 4 to 6 sacral vertebrae. Their number depends on how the processes of fusion of bones in the “rudimentary tail” took place during the formation of the skeleton. People want to live happily ever after and not get sick. This is possible if we begin to pay due attention to the condition of the musculoskeletal system. Preserving and strengthening a healthy spine is what the world community is calling for on October 16 during World Spine Day.

Funny holidays are exciting and memorable. On October 16, a significant event is celebrated - the Day of the Impatiens, which reminds the world of the existence of secretive and rare people. There was no confirmed information about who came up with the idea for the holiday. Presumably, there is no full-fledged author of the festival, just like the tradition of the celebration. Manneriness, scrupulousness, exactingness are traits that are inherent in every touchy-feely animal on the planet. People who consider themselves this way often strenuously guard their personal space. Sincere compliments and hugs in their direction are perceived extremely aggressively. The surprising thing is that scrupulous individuals are not able to change their nature - they were born that way. Irreparable temperament is most often observed in young and mature women. Men are also born scrupulous, and a similar trait manifests itself in adolescence. Relatives of the heroes of the occasion often condemn the touchy person, albeit without reason. During the day, the touchy-feely is often “taken advantage of” by girls who try on the role of an inaccessible and mannered person. It is known that scrupulous and touchy girls are more valued by the stronger sex. The opposite of the touchy-feely is a liberated and vulgar girl who is not shy in the company of men. Both characteristics are united by the virtue of chastity. On the day of the holiday, it is important to maintain chastity; girls remain inaccessible and closed to the cruel outside world when they give all of themselves to their man. Touchless Day is celebrated annually with respect for people who do not allow unnecessary attention and physical interaction to themselves. The message of the day is to understand the character of an antisocial person, delve into his shortcomings, and also prevent condemnation. Over time, Impatiens Day is gaining more and more attention and popularity. The holiday is spreading in Europe, the USA, and is also gradually penetrating the territory of the CIS region. Thematic events and seminars related to the problem of condemnation are held. Interpersonal relationship experts point out that being reserved and secretive is healthy and honorable. This quality extends to young girls who faithfully maintain chastity. A touchy-feely man can maintain his dignity, remain strong in character, and confidently achieve his goals.

On October 16, the national holiday Denis Pozimny is celebrated. This day is sometimes called Autumn Fever or Dionysius Day. The holiday is associated with the name of the apostle Dionysius the Areopagite from 70. Dionysius received a classical education and was distinguished even in his youth by his great wisdom. Once he managed to observe a solar eclipse. This phenomenon amazed the sage so much that he came to the conclusion about the power of God. Dionysius, revered by people for his justice and wisdom, was appointed a member of the court, or Areopagus. One day the Apostle Paul arrived in Athens to explain his teaching. Dionysius, struck by the sermon he heard, became a Christian, and then a disciple of Paul. Three years later he became the first bishop of Athens. After the execution of the apostles Peter and Paul, Dionysius continued their educational work. The bishop was beheaded during the persecution of Christians under Emperor Domitian. After the execution, the body of Dionysius stood up, took his head in his hands and walked towards the church. Having fallen, the body showed the amazed believers where it should have been buried. Dionysius the Areopagite is credited with writing works that influenced Christian philosophy. Theologians call them Areopagitists. On the icons, Dionysius is depicted in appropriate bishop's clothing with the Gospel in his hands. A lunar crater and a street in Athens were named after the apostle. It was believed that from October 16, autumn entered its final stage. Denis was called Winter, because the Indian summer gave way to rain, cold and abundant leaf fall. People were afraid of an unkind look at Denis. Onions and garlic were hung above the entrance to the home, the pungent smell of which scared away evil people. On October 16, they read conspiracies and washed the smoothed person with salty holy water. Also on this day, people were wary of fever, which was carried by evil spirits. The spirits lived in the swamps, toiled themselves and tormented people. They turned into specks flying into people's eyes. To protect against them, knowledgeable people carried an aspen branch with them. An aspen log was hidden in the house for this purpose. Sometimes it was applied to a sore spot: it was believed that it would immediately relieve the pain. Signs for Autumn fevers:• Low-floating clouds foreshadow a cold snap.• If the cattle scream, then there will be bad weather.• If the sparrows behave restlessly, flying from place to place, then it will soon be cold.• An owl screamed during the day - expect bad weather.• Rosehip bush bloomed - the weather will be warm. • If the first frost did not hit Denis, then it will not hit until November 2.

During the time of Peter I, professionals who conduct investigative actions in criminal cases served in the Main Police Chief Office. However, the formation of the work of bodies that performed the function of inquiry began in the 9th century. and before the judicial reform of 1864. In the Old Russian state, the protection of law and order was carried out by princely warriors, posadniki, lyreniks, blizzard workers and representatives of local government bodies: elders, foreman, sotskie, etc. All of them, to one degree or another, carried out the consequences of the actions that contained elements of inquiry. Based on the results of the judicial reform under Alexander I, the concept of the “institute of devious people” was reflected in the “Charter of the Head Proceedings”. Under Nicholas I in 1908, criminal investigations became part of the detective work of the police. After the October Revolution, the functions of the conscientious police began to include conducting a preliminary investigation. One of its forms was inquiry. The bodies that dealt with it have been part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs since the times of the USSR. Inquiries are carried out in cases involving more than 140 articles of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Officers investigate crimes of minor or moderate gravity: theft of property, beatings, hooliganism, fraud, causing minor harm to health, drug trafficking, death threats, etc. Approximately 75% of investigators are women. A holiday has been established in honor of the professionals, thanks to whose work law enforcement agencies operate smoothly in the Russian Federation. October 16 is the Day of the Inquiry Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. One of the procedural procedures for conducting an investigation in the times of Ancient Rus' was the pursuit of a trace. The suspect was searched for using traces left at the crime scene. For these purposes, today, as hundreds of years ago, service dogs are used. However, operational-search activities in the 21st century. has undergone significant changes. IT technologies have brought many innovations to the life of modern people. This is taken advantage of by scammers who steal information and personal data of credit card holders and come up with schemes to take money from citizens by illegally issuing loans. Therefore, today investigators have broad competencies that allow them to investigate crimes committed using computer technology. Employees of a dynamic, developing and promising service have new methods and forms of work that allow them to speed up the process of helping victims in the form of restoring their rights and compensating for damages. Specialized units in the law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federation were created in 1992. Today, the number of investigators involved in crimes for which a preliminary investigation is not mandatory exceeds 20 thousand people. The role of the service in the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very high, therefore, on October 16, all its employees are congratulated on their professional holiday and wished great success in their chosen field of activity.

October 16 is the Day of the Allergist, as well as the Day of the Immunologist. This holiday is still considered unofficial, but it has already attracted a lot of attention. There are many professional celebrations, including those dedicated to medical workers. Perhaps due to the fact that there are a lot of such special dates related to medicine and human health, Allergist-Immunologist Day is not yet really widely celebrated. However, interest in this topic is growing. Especially when studies were published stating that every fifth person in the world, one way or another, suffers from allergies. Unfortunately, the number of such people will only increase over time. This is due to the environment changing for the worse, which puts additional stress on the human immune system. New drugs, chemical compounds, and food additives are appearing that can also cause severe allergies. On this day, it is customary to raise issues that are directly related to the immune system and human health, as well as some related problems. In particular, questions regarding the environmental situation, the cleanliness of water bodies, and the quality of food. The emergence of Allergist Day is due to the fact that this is a very noble profession, implying that a person has a higher medical education, a broad outlook, and deep knowledge, including in general medicine. It is customary to congratulate people working in this field, and in this regard the holiday is considered traditional, that is, professional. In addition, educational institutions often hold seminars and presentations by doctors talking about how a person has to defend himself in difficult modern conditions in order to support his immune system. Seminars are also held on environmental issues, including the ecology of human habitation. Also, interesting facts are given. So, scientists analyzed the remains of Napoleon and found that, judging by his genetic characteristics, he had a pronounced allergy to plant pollen. Immediately, numerous versions began to appear with this, including those that claimed that some of the commander’s battles were lost precisely because of the exacerbation of his allergic reactions, as a result of which he was unable to inspire and competently manage his army. Surely, pronounced allergies were also characteristic of other great people of past eras, and it is from the point of view of medicine that it will be possible to explain some of the biographical milestones and actions of real historical characters. All this is aimed at popularizing medicine in general and the science of allergology in particular. This is an entire branch of medicine that deals with both diagnosis and identification of causes, prevention and, of course, treatment. Allergist Day also attracts increased attention due to the fact that this disease mainly affects children and young people. This professional holiday is celebrated mainly in European countries, throughout the Eurasian continent. Gradually its popularity is growing. This is not surprising, because public attention to issues of human health, immunity, and the environment is also increasing. This means that Allergist Day will also become more and more popular. Even if human activity has nothing to do with medicine, then October 16 will be an excellent occasion to evaluate the quality of the microenvironment of your own home, get rid of junk food, toxic compounds that are often present in clothing, interior elements, construction or finishing materials.

Violent and rebellious natural elements have aroused interest, admiration and mystical fear among people throughout the history of humankind. Thus, boreas, the formidable northern wind, was deified by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Before the journey, the sailors made sacrifices to him on the altar, asking him not to send storms and storms. The son of the titan Astraeus and the goddess Eos was approached by sorcerers during magical rituals as a representative of higher powers. Myths, poems, songs and even holidays are dedicated to Boreas. October 16th is Northern Wind Day. Nature, as you know, has no bad weather. Cold and gusty, piercing wind is a faithful companion of winter, one of many people’s favorite seasons. Boreas is the “friend” of polar bears and the king of the Arctic desert. Few people know that the ancient name of the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug “Ugra” or “Yugoria” is translated as “Country of the North Wind”. This is also often called Greenland, whose population has adapted to the harsh living conditions above the Arctic Circle. Cold air masses form at the North Pole, pass through mountain ranges and fall onto the land of continents and the surface of the seas, causing strong disturbances in the water surface. Borea is called differently in each region. Sarma - on Lake Baikal, biza - in the mountainous regions of Switzerland and France. Gusts of air arising from changes in atmospheric pressure and heading towards Japan from the polar regions of Asia are called “nagai” in the Land of the Rising Sun. The cold wind, which from Canada through the USA and Mexico reaches the north of South America, is called norther, or norther (in translation from English norther - “north”). For the population of these and other areas of the globe, boreas is an integral part of nature and weather conditions. In the myths of the peoples of the Far North, for example among the Komi, the north wind is called Voipel. The home of the stern god of blizzards and wind is located on the top of the mountain. Voipel does not like shouting - according to legend, you cannot make noise while hunting, otherwise you will turn into stone or be covered in snow. According to the mythology of the Finno-Ugrians, Louis-vot-oika, blowing from the north in both winter and summer since ancient times, caused mass deaths of people. Therefore, the wind was challenged to a duel, in which it was defeated by a brave hunter who shot the elements in the jaw. After the wound healed, Louis-vot-oyka could no longer blow at full strength, and the peoples of Western Siberia lived well and happily. Borey is mentioned in the odes of Lomonosov, poems by Zhukovsky and Pushkin. His romantic image is glorified by modern musicians - the Aquarium group: The funny North Wind Day has unusual celebration traditions that are designed to appease the elements or help establish contact with it. On October 16, bores are greeted with bells and ribbons tied to tree branches, and they try to catch them using traps, placing them near open windows. In honor of the northern wind, ballads are composed, songs and spells are sung, and shamanic rituals are performed that demonstrate respect for the elements and pay tribute to the forces of nature.

A person begins to acquire useful connections and acquaintances the moment he enters society, and values ​​them very much. It is believed that a real French woman will never give out the phone number of her beautician and butcher. This information is capital accumulated over the years of her life, which she does not consider necessary to share with strangers. The French and not only them understand that established contacts help solve problems in any field of activity - from business to personal relationships. According to the British, a person weaves networks from acquaintances by doing networking. Relationships are formed while studying at a university and at a business meeting, through membership in closed clubs and communication on social networks. Professionals who help create business connections celebrate October 16 as Networking Day. It is known that you can reach the Queen of England through five handshakes. This expression is a clear illustration of how useful connections and a wide circle of communication can open doors to a new world. The sociological theory of six handshakes was formulated in 1969 by American psychologist Stanley Milgram. His research showed that two random people can contact each other through five mutual acquaintances. This opportunity significantly saves time and money for business people, which is why Milgram’s theory has been adopted by networking. Peter Dodds, who conducted an experiment in 2003 with 24 thousand people from different parts of the world, decided to check how the rule of six handshakes works in the 21st century. They needed to deliver the letter to a public figure. At first glance, the advent of the Internet and new methods of communication should have speeded up communication in the chain and access to a famous person. However, it turned out that everything is not so simple. In the 60s of the last century, people communicated in person, willingly providing services to friends and acquaintances. Turning to virtual acquaintances reduces the likelihood of a successful outcome by 13 times. Online friends do not respond to requests as actively as people with whom a person communicates in person. Despite this nuance, networking is an effective business tool. Putting the theory of six handshakes into practice helps a company find new clients, attract investors and sponsors, speakers and guests to the conference. Professionals teach you how to find the right people and develop connections. They tell you how to make acquaintances, establish contacts and maintain communication with business partners. In honor of the holiday, networking specialists are offering to use their services for free. On October 16, themed business meetings and parties are organized where people can get to know each other and expand their social circle. For Networking Day, master classes are organized, trainings and other events are held, where participants practice the skills of finding useful contacts and business communication skills.

Myocardial infarction, as well as coronary heart disease and stroke, have become “younger”. Previously, they were diagnosed in older men, today - increasingly in representatives of the stronger sex 30-50 years old. The risk group also began to include women, whose natural protection should be estrogens, which have a positive effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system. However, in a modern world full of stress, in conditions of poor ecology, the presence of chronic diseases and bad habits, heart attack has become one of the most common diseases. Cardiac arrest, which occurs after loss of consciousness, leads to brain hypoxia and death. As well as ingestion of water or other liquid into the respiratory system. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and CPR skills can save a person's life before the ambulance arrives. A firefighter, occupational safety instructors at an enterprise, a school teacher, a volunteer or a random passer-by who happens to be near the scene of the incident can help to get out of the state of clinical death before the arrival of doctors. In honor of the procedure, which restores the vital functions of the body, a holiday has been established. October 16 is World Start Your Heart Day. The basic procedure is performed without the use of a defibrillator. The victim is given artificial respiration, first freeing the lungs, if necessary, from water, and closed heart massage. Signs of clinical death are loss of consciousness, lack of pulse in the carotid arteries and breathing, loss of pupillary response to light. Resuscitation must begin no later than 4 minutes after cardiac arrest. In each cycle of the procedure, chest compression alternates with artificial respiration. During CPR, doctors use high-voltage current pulses that are delivered to the defibrillator electrodes. Due to the high level of heart disease in Israel, Great Britain and several other countries of the world, electrical devices for contracting myocardial muscles are available on the walls of bus stops and inside street telephone booths. Next to the defibrillator there is a short instruction that will tell you how to help a person without waiting for an ambulance to arrive. World Restart a Heart Day 2013 was initiated by the European Resuscitation Council. Since then, CPR training events have been conducted around the world. More than 1 million people die every year in the Russian Federation from heart and blood vessel diseases. Therefore, in honor of World Start Your Heart Day, every year in our country lectures, webinars, lessons, master classes on cardiopulmonary resuscitation and other events are organized that give a person a chance to survive until medical workers arrive.
