Nuclear industry workers have a lot to be proud of. They perform the difficult task of maintaining plants, developing new technologies, and monitoring production efficiency at nuclear power plants. Of course, a separate holiday should have been dedicated to these people, when we can all express our gratitude for their feat. Their work can be called a feat because it involves a risk to life. And they take risks for the sake of all the inhabitants of our country. There are 10 operating nuclear power plants in Russia. And by 2030, the government plans to launch another 8 nuclear power plants. Tens of thousands of people work for them. It is for their sake that the President of the Russian Federation, V.V. Putin, in June 2005, issued a decree on the basis of which the Day of Nuclear Industry Workers was established in Russia. The professional holiday of nuclear workers has a prehistory. Its roots go back to the USSR. On September 28, 1942 the document was published. It contained instructions for the Academy of Sciences to create new weapons based on uranium. This order marked the beginning of the development of the nuclear industry. It was thanks to the developments of the Academy that the USSR was able to surpass the United States in new weapons. Thanks to nuclear scientists, we can live in peace, without expecting an attack by other powers on our Motherland. Without scientists studying the properties of atoms, developing methods of using them in combat operations and in peaceful life, there would, of course, be no holiday. They are also necessarily honored on this day. On September 28, the government must sincerely congratulate nuclear power plant workers and nuclear scientists. It cannot be done without presenting state awards for services to the country and people. And rightly so. A nuclear industry worker can be called a man with a capital M. Thanks to nuclear scientists, Soviet and current, our country can consider itself a great Nuclear Power. But it’s not just weapons that nuclear workers can be proud of. At nuclear power plants they receive energy that is important for ordinary people, which enters our homes every day and warms us in the cold winter. Nuclear industry enterprises also congratulate their employees and present certificates and diplomas for responsibility, hard work and dedication to the profession. The main task of nuclear industry workers, in their opinion, is to ensure that the atom remains peaceful forever. They adopted this motto many years ago.

A competent leader is the basis of a successful business. It is they - bosses, superiors, top managers, directors, business sharks - who stand at the helm and rule the company with a firm hand. The ancestor of the holiday can be considered the state of Illinois, where National Boss's Day has been celebrated on October 16 for more than 55 years. The concept of the holiday is to thank the boss who has worked hard all year. Subordinates throw a party, sing songs, give the boss souvenirs and a couple of extra smiles. The idea was quickly picked up almost all over the world. Canada, Australia, South Africa, Europe celebrate Boss Day every year. The holiday came to Russia thanks to the magazine “General Director”, which declared September 28 as General Director Day. Often the work of managers is devalued in the eyes of their subordinates. They mistakenly believe that there is nothing difficult about signing documents, negotiating and asking the secretary to make another cup of coffee. In fact, being a CEO is a stressful job. If subordinates, in most cases, have a fixed work schedule, usually from 9 to 18.00, then the boss works almost around the clock. Even without being in the office, he solves production issues. What are the daily responsibilities of a director?1. Stimulating and motivating employees.2. Budget management.3. Search for investors, partners, clients.4. Competent investment of funds and securities.5. Development of projects aimed at optimizing the company's budget, reducing expenses, increasing profits.6. Negotiating on existing projects. Not only the profit and success of the company, but also the fate of all those who work in the organization depend on the effectiveness of the manager. In order to successfully manage a company, you must have a number of internal qualities, without which it is impossible to be a leader in a team: 1. Communication skills. Communicating a lot and about everything with different people, and at the same time not stopping to smile is not an easy task.2. Stress resistance. Logically, people with a weakened psyche find it difficult to control someone other than themselves.3. The ability to isolate the main thing. Separating the wheat from the chaff is a talent.4. Self confidence. If you don’t believe in yourself, no one will.5. Energy and endurance. Considering the 24/7 work schedule, a manager cannot do without a large supply of vitality. All these qualities may be innate, but most managers regularly resort to personal growth training. On September 28, directors of large companies gather at conferences and forums, where they share experiences, negotiate, and find new partners. Small companies conduct seminars, organize corporate events, organize field trips, and team games. Bosses are given souvenirs, themed gifts, formal bouquets and greeting cards, both paper and virtual.

The role of little things in a person’s life is often underestimated. Just one word, one extra movement or even one look can dramatically change someone's destiny. Although it may sound trivial, our life is a fabric woven from little things. And it is they who have a much greater impact on her than major events, which, due to their apparent significance, attract all attention. Little things that don't deserve such indifference even have their own holiday. Trivia Day is celebrated on September 28th. A person's life can be imagined as a long road. We move forward along it and for most of the way we are accompanied by a dull landscape, which gets boring after just a few minutes of contemplation. A repetitive picture in which there is nothing new - it peacefully lulls you to sleep, makes you drowsy and bored. Stopping or making sharp turns is a different matter. We wake up, dust ourselves off, come to life and absorb a lot of new impressions. Such significant events on a long road are always imbued with vivid emotions, so they are etched in the memory for a long time. Important moments create a false feeling, as if only from them a person’s life is formed. Graduating from school, receiving a diploma from college, meeting your first love, getting married, having children, traveling, making major purchases - all these events cannot happen often. Between them there are always gaps filled with boredom and routine, so a person gets the impression that he lives in anticipation of happiness. If you look at this situation from the other side, it becomes clear that such reasoning is just another misconception. But what about the small and pleasant little things that brighten up your life, help maintain peace of mind and bring no less joy? Unfortunately, we are accustomed to not noticing them, and this is a big mistake, because attention to little things can give a person happiness every day, and not from time to time. The ability to find happiness in small things is rare today. People are used to constantly being in a hurry, running somewhere and doing everything in a hurry, without regard for the insignificant, which in fact may turn out to be important. A kind smile from a passerby, a bright ray of sunshine on the carpet, a cup of hot and delicious coffee, a gentle look from a loved one, warm words, a long-awaited book, a wonderful film, a symbolic gift, sincere gratitude - little joys are hidden in every moment, and many unknowingly reveal theirs to them. souls. Man himself shapes the space in which he lives. If you fill it with pleasant little things, they will constantly feed you with positivity, like batteries with energy. There is a lot of literature devoted to the proper organization of space, but psychologists unanimously say that there is no secret here and it is enough to follow only two simple rules. Firstly, you need to maintain cleanliness and order. Every little thing should have its place. Even creative disorder has its drawbacks, because our consciousness automatically perceives everything clean as healthy and prosperous. Chaos cannot strengthen mental balance, and it is this internal balance that affects our mood. Secondly, you need to surround yourself with beautiful things. And here again everything is decided by the human psyche. If it’s beautiful, it means good, pleasant. When our gaze glides over the little things that we like, peace also reigns in our souls and we are charged with positive emotions. The day of looking at little things gives us all a wonderful reason to pay attention to the insignificant things that make up our lives, to find positivity and peace in them. And, of course, don’t forget to give pleasant little things to others to share bright emotions and lift your spirits.

One of the unusual holidays that falls on September 28 is the pawnshop's birthday. It is noted by receivers, appraisers and other specialists working in the field of consumer lending. Banks issue loans secured by real estate and valuable assets, such as a car. When a small amount of money is urgently needed, people turn to a pawnshop. There you can get financial funds secured by any property - from jewelry and natural fur coats to Swiss watches and a camera. Loans appeared almost immediately with the cessation of natural exchange and the beginning of people using money for payments - gold coins, silver bars, pearls, cowrie shells, etc. The first pawnshop, where loans were issued against the security of movable and immovable property, was opened on September 28, 1618. in Brussels. Although references to this oldest financial institution are found in ancient Chinese, Greek and Roman sources. In Belgium, the credit institution was founded by representatives of the Italian banking house of Lombardi, in whose honor the loan shops got their names. Their services were used by both ordinary citizens and royalty. The symbol of the pawnshop is three golden balls, borrowed from the Medici family coat of arms. It was on the lands of this family in northern Italy that Lombardy was located. In Russia, coin offices—government institutions that issued loans against collateral—opened in 1772 in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The first private pawnshop appeared in 1888 in Vologda. The initiator of its opening was the city mayor, entrepreneur and philanthropist Khristofor Ledentsov. He believed that pawnshops conducted more honest financial activities than moneylenders. Ledentsov donated his own salary - 6,162 rubles - to the organization of a credit institution in Vologda. 67 kopecks By the revolution of 1917, there were about 100 operating pawnshops in Russia. With the Bolsheviks coming to power they were nationalized. During the NEP, 1922-1923, pawnshops became part of public service enterprises. Thus, an element of the bourgeois way of life was given a chance to work in the interests of the proletariat. The second time the heyday of these government institutions was observed in the late 80s. 20th century, when people especially needed affordable consumer loans. In the “roaring nineties,” pawnshops helped citizens out, helping them survive from paycheck to paycheck. During these years, many criminal stories were associated with them. However, with the release of the “Regulations on licensing the activities of pawnshops” in 2000, the work of credit institutions began to be strictly controlled by the state. This minimized risks for citizens who apply for loans. The advantages of pawnshops include a larger list of types of collateral and the speed of lending money with minimal documentation. Institutions offer favorable terms for extending credit and low interest rates on loans, regardless, unlike banks, of the purpose for obtaining them. This type of commercial organization is an important part of the credit system of most countries. Therefore, on September 28, employees of institutions annually celebrate the pawnshop’s birthday.

In 2007, the Global Alliance to Control Rabies established World Rabies Day. In this, the alliance received the support of a large number of health organizations. The date was set for September 28. The goal of the alliance is to bring the problem of the spread of a deadly infection to the forefront. By the way, it was on September 28 that Louis Pasteur, a famous microbiologist who put a lot of effort into the process of creating a vaccine against the disease, died, so they didn’t puzzle over the choice of date for a long time. Every year, about 55 thousand people die from rabies around the world. You can put it another way - this is 6 people per hour. If we take all infectious diseases in general, then rabies has a special place, since the probability of death is very high. First aid must be provided immediately after infection. More than 150 countries are fighting the disease. Thanks to the work of doctors, there are safe but effective drugs that inhibit the development of infection. If immunization is given within a few hours after an animal bite, the likelihood of death will be significantly reduced. More than 15 million people are vaccinated every year. However, not many countries can afford it due to the fairly high cost. It is a mistaken belief that you can only get infected from stray or wild animals. Yes, the most common source of the disease are dogs, not so often - raccoons, foxes, and wolves. But infection is also possible from cows, pigs, horses, bats, wild rats and even hedgehogs. Domestic animals, in turn, are infected by sick wild animals. And the animal does not necessarily have to be bitten; drooling will be quite enough. The first and most striking symptom is attempts to attack and bite. Bites to the head or neck are the most dangerous. As the number of bites increases, the risk of infection increases. From the moment of the bite to the onset of the first symptoms, it can take from 10 to 60 days. The incubation period can last about a year. That is why it is important to take preventive measures, because when the disease enters the active phase, it is not possible to save the patient. The main symptoms of rabies: - increased body temperature; - the appearance of headaches; - impaired consciousness; - hydrophobia; - convulsions; - paralysis. First aid to the victim: - disinfect the wound using a soap solution (reduces the amount of ingested virus); - treat the edges of the wound with 70% alcohol; - bandage the wound with a sterile bandage; Next, you must necessarily seek medical help and undergo a course of vaccination, which is provided to all citizens free of charge at trauma or surgical centers. People with an increased risk of infection (for example, hunters) are recommended to undergo a course of vaccinations for the purpose of prevention. It is also recommended to refrain from butchering carcasses or skinning animals; first, the carcass must be delivered to a veterinary laboratory and await test results. Vaccination of dogs, especially those who take part in hunting, is necessary. Otherwise, dogs should not be allowed to hunt wild animals. Events are being planned around the world to mark the Day against a dangerous disease. The essence of this holiday is that experts provide the public with information about the consequences of rabies in both humans and animals. Despite the rapid progress of the disease, it is quite simple to prevent it, as well as completely destroy it. To do this, it is necessary to combat rabies carriers - infected animals. On this day, September 28, conferences are held everywhere and scientific symposia are held. Charitable events raise funds for animal vaccinations.

A person can live without food for about 40 days, but provided that he is in good health and does not undergo heavy physical activity. American scientists came to this conclusion after numerous experiments on volunteers. Researchers at the University of California have found that three-day fasts are beneficial for the body - they strengthen the immune system, stimulate the division of stem cells, reduce the synthesis of enzymes that accelerate the aging process, and reduce the concentration of hormones responsible for the growth of tumors in the human body. However, only three-day fasts bring benefits, and long-term diets undermine health. Even if we do not consider the risk of developing anorexia and a number of psychological problems, there is no benefit from them. Fat deposits are not burned without physical activity, but the concentration of glucose and, accordingly, insulin decreases, the number of ketone bodies increases, which increase the acidity of the blood, which is why the body slowly poisons itself. After a hunger strike, he not only gains excess weight, but also stores up energy for the future, what if the person decides to go hungry again? Every year, Freedom from Hunger Day is celebrated on September 28th. The initiative to establish the holiday belonged to the organization of the same name, which held its first events back in 2006. Almost everyone is familiar with hunger. Some refuse food for the sake of a beautiful figure or to maintain health, while others - due to current circumstances. Freedom from Hunger Day is dedicated to the second category of people who are involuntarily undernourished. Voluntary fasting is the prerogative of residents of “well-fed” countries. This holiday is a symbol of the fight against hunger. A problem that seems unthinkable in our age of technological progress is becoming more and more frightening every year. Freedom from Hunger is an international organization whose volunteers work in Ghana, Haiti, India, Honduras, Bolivia, Benin, and Ecuador. Its employees are fighting hunger in almost twenty countries around the world. The headquarters of this non-profit organization is located in California. As planned, Freedom from Hunger Day should attract public attention to this problem, because with joint efforts it can be solved, and you will see for yourself at the end of the article. The population of our planet is growing every year. The development of medicine has largely contributed to the sharp decline in mortality. In 1804, there were about 1 billion people on the planet, and today the same number of people are hungry, with the population rising to 7.8 billion in 2020. Such drastic changes are fraught with the emergence of new problems. Among them, the most dangerous is considered to be the depletion of resources, primarily fresh water and food. According to statistics, every seventh person on the planet falls asleep hungry every day. And these people do not torture themselves with exhausting diets; they do not have the opportunity to eat to their fill. For nearly 1 billion people, hunger is a stark reality, not an abstract threat. The most depressing picture emerges in Africa. The hungriest country is South Sudan. Here, almost 70% of the population is starving. Kenya occupies second place in this sad ranking. In this country, just over half the population is hungry - 51%. In third place is Nigeria, where the situation is little better - “only” 47% of the population suffers from hunger. However, what is more frightening is not the numbers, which clearly demonstrate the terrible food situation in a number of countries. Scientists have calculated and come to an astonishing conclusion: literally all starving Africans could be fed if we collected the food that residents of developed countries throw away. The highest mortality from hunger is observed in countries with very high population densities, which live in conditions of severe shortage of natural resources. Hunger usually goes hand in hand with a lack of clean drinking water. Freedom from Hunger Day, celebrated on September 28, aims to draw attention to these and other important points.

Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights establishes the right of everyone to seek, receive and freely impart information. The existence of any democratic society is based on this trailer. In most countries of the world, the right to access to information is enshrined in the Constitution and other legislative acts.

Termination of pregnancy is chosen by women who decide not to give birth due to various reasons and circumstances. Public organizations insist on the realization of women's right to terminate a pregnancy, as well as on the opportunity to undergo this medical procedure legally.

Probably every person on this planet has been to the sea at least once in their life. And if you haven’t been, then you dream of visiting. How many songs have been sung about the sea, how many magnificent and famous stories have happened near it. In a word, the sea is romantic, beautiful, it brings joy and health to people. Going to the seaside is associated in our heads with rest, the beach, relaxation, recovery, recharging with positive emotions, and so on. However, the sea also has other functions - the sea feeds us. From a geography course, everyone knows that 2/3 of our planet Earth consists of bodies of water. Seas, oceans, rivers and lakes are the arteries of our planet. Thanks to them, life exists in our world, thanks to them, humanity exists, grows and develops. However, the same humanity does not seem to realize the full extent of the influence of the sea on our lives. At least we manage to destroy seafood and pollute it very quickly. Just think, just over the last century, almost 80% of the total amount of fish and other living creatures have been caught from the seas and oceans by those who want to get rich. Such delicious fish, such as cod, tuna and others, that we love to eat in cafes and restaurants - will soon cease to exist at this rate. After all, it is not possible to artificially breed them in full, and money lovers have not stopped catching them, despite the cries of environmentalists. There is another problem related to the protection of the aquatic environment of our planet - the pollution of water bodies. Ever since humanity began to extract resources for the production of fuel and energy, namely oil, the waterways are literally clogged with ships that transport and extract oil. And, of course, various kinds of man-made disasters are increasingly occurring, during which tons of oil and other harmful, toxic substances are poured into the seas. But every such catastrophe means the death of thousands of inhabitants of the seas and oceans. In the late 80s of the 20th century, namely in 1978, the public raised this issue to the global level. Many water conservation and marine animal rescue programs have been proposed. It was also decided to celebrate Sea Day. At first it was celebrated in March, but later it was moved to the last Thursday of September. Today, every last Thursday of September, conferences are held with tenfold force all over the world where problems of the sea are discussed. This day is needed to popularize the issues of water, sea and ocean protection on our planet and all its inhabitants.

World Trenchless Day

The UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage includes the Yakut heroic epic Olonkho, oral folk art and the life of the Semeis. This is the name given to the Old Believers living beyond Baikal since the reign of Catherine, who have preserved the way of life of the pre-Petrine era. Tula gingerbread is one of the candidates for inclusion in the list of unique phenomena protected by UNEXO. In Rus', this type of sweet flour products coated with glaze has been known for a very long time. To prepare gingerbread dough, housewives took rye flour, diluted it with honey, added berry and fruit juices, and then sent the tightly kneaded dough into the oven. With the appearance in the 12th century. With spices brought from the Middle East and India, cinnamon, anise, pepper, cloves and nutmeg began to be added to baked goods. For a long time, spices were a curiosity and were expensive, so sugar cookies were considered a dessert for wealthy people. In the 18th century Gingerbread making became a widespread craft, and baking became a popular Russian delicacy. Figures (for example, Pomeranian and Arkhangelsk roe deer) were made from dough with the addition of honey and spices; the flatbreads were decorated with ornaments, pressed into a board with a pattern and inscriptions. Stencils in the shape of animals and birds were used for carved (cut-out) gingerbread cookies, which were made by Rostov craftsmen. Culinary products became decorations for the festive table and a favorite delicacy for children; they were given to lovers and ceremoniously presented to newlyweds. The most famous type of gingerbread, Tula, was named after the city where they have been made since the 17th century. The first mention of a culinary product is found in a scribe book of 1685. Rostov gingerbreads were prepared from wheat and potato flour, honey and spices, Pskov gingerbreads were made without eggs, and Tula gingerbreads were made with a sweet raspberry or plum layer. Today, like hundreds of years ago, the delicacy in the city of gunsmiths is baked in the form of glazed tiles or figures, adding a filling of condensed milk and jam. Every year on September 28, a holiday dedicated to the traditional dessert is celebrated - Tula Gingerbread Day. The Grechikhina brothers are considered the most famous masters of preparing this delicacy. The confectionery products of these Tula chefs were awarded the “Grand Prix” and gold medals in 1889 and 1900. at the World Exhibitions in Paris. The confectionery shop of Vasily Evlampievich Serikov was also famous for its high quality of baked goods and exquisite design. His trading house produced nut, apricot, orange, almond, melon and chocolate gingerbread. After the revolution of 1917, Tula gingerbread factories were nationalized, and dessert recipes were partially lost. The production of traditional sweets was revived in 1954 due to the participation of food industry enterprises located in Tula in the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition in Moscow. In order to organize the production of gingerbread, they found craftsmen who had been baking them before the October Revolution. The arms factory ordered wooden molds for the dough, which was prepared according to ancient recipes. After six months of trial and error, Tula gingerbreads filled with cherry, blackcurrant, plum and raspberry jam began to come out of the factory assembly line. The culinary products were approved at the highest government level and went into mass production. In the Tula region, by Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the required amount of butter and premium flour was allocated from the state reserve. Gingerbread has become the calling card of the city and a symbol of truly Russian hospitality. Today, confectionery products are made in factories and in the workshops of private bakeries, sold within the country and sent abroad. A museum opened in 1996 and a holiday celebrated on September 28 are dedicated to the Tula gingerbread.

An integral part of the political freedoms of every person is the search and receipt of information about the activities of the state. This right is enshrined in many conventions, covenants and other international documents. In order to protect freedom of the press, the ability to receive, search and disseminate information, the UN General Assembly established a holiday in 2019. International Right to Know Day is celebrated annually on September 28th. International Right to Know Day owes its origins to a conference of public organizations from 15 countries, which was held in 2002 under the auspices of UNESCO in Sofia. The date of the meeting of civil activists in Bulgaria, September 28, according to the decision of the UN, became the day for special events: forums, trainings, concerts, award presentations, documentary film screenings and theatrical performances. All of them are aimed at explaining to people their right to receive socially significant information, which is a symbol of open government and is enshrined in the constitution of many countries. A person who gets rid of the obligation to keep someone else's secret experiences moral relief from this. Organizations that own closed archives periodically make them public for other reasons. Declassification of documents is the exercise of people's right to possess information related to important historical events. This procedure also reduces the cost of organizing and storing written evidence and other artifacts representing state secrets. Thus, the FBI made public information about what messengers this intelligence service has access to, information about the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the Kennedy assassination. In 2006, the CIA removed the "Secret" classification from 174 personal files of Nazi criminals, in the wake of perestroika in the 1980s. KGB archives were declassified. Freedom of speech and mass information, along with a ban on censorship, operate in democratic countries that have placed the interests of the individual above the interests of the state. To this end, newspapers, magazines and other media report on politics, the environmental situation, how effectively taxpayer money is spent and how elected officials carry out their duties. Confidential information is not subject to disclosure. It includes medical data, payment transaction information, business plans, research results and much more. Interference with privacy is prohibited by law. However, it allows the personal data of public figures - politicians, athletes, singers, actors and other opinion leaders - to be made public. The establishment of International Right to Know Day is a useful initiative. International Day defends the right to know about everything that affects the life of society, making people free and happy.
