SUMMARY:Balance Awareness Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:IMAGINE LIVING LIFE WITHOUT BALANCE.\nClose your eyes and stand on one foot. It’s hard right? Now imagine having that same disoriented feeling on two feet\, and with your eyes open. Balance is something most of us take for granted. It’s automatically hardwired into our bodies at birth\, evolving and adapting as we grow and age. While basic balance is innate\, some of us are able to perfect or even master our balance through exercise and practice. We don’t often think about our balance—until of course\, we lose it. \nWhile most people may not be familiar with the word “vestibular”—relating to your inner ear\, brain\, and sense of balance—many of us have likely experienced the awkward or sometimes scary feeling when we momentarily lose our balance. Maybe it’s taking a wrong step or getting motion sickness aboard a jostling boat. Or that nauseating head-spinning sensation after one too many alcoholic beverages. Eventually our balance comes back and life moves on.This is not the case for the over 69\,000 Americans who suffer from the mostly invisible and frequently debilitating symptoms of chronic imbalance association with a vestibular disorder. Whether it comes on gradually over time or all of the sudden\, bouts of dizziness\, vertigo\, and nausea can make many of life’s more routine tasks virtually intolerable. Just try getting a good night’s sleep with a high-pitched ringing in your ear. Or try to focus on something as everything around you appear to be spinning. For those living with a vestibular condition\, everyday life becomes a progressively challenging obstacle course to navigate. \nThat is why VeDA pioneered Balance Awareness Week in 1997: to be an opportunity each year to come together and shine a light on these otherwise invisible balance disorders. If we’re all more aware\, then we can better understand and be empathetic to those who need our support the most—our family\, friends\, co-workers\, and neighbors. While many of these balance disorders are incurable\, faster and more accurate diagnosis\, along with effective coping strategies can greatly improve quality of life. Join us this September for Balance Awareness Week\, and together we can pave the way toward restoring a life rebalanced. \nBy participating in Balance Awareness Week\, you can increase awareness about vestibular disorders and funds to support patients in their journey back to balance. \nHOW DOES IT WORK?\n\nPut Balance Awareness Week on your calendar for September 15-21\, 2019\nSet a personal fundraising goal to support VeDA and vestibular research\nRegister your Personal Campaign Page (Coming soon!)\nShare your Life Rebalanced story to help inform and inspire people\nTake a selfie with a Flat Flamingo and share it on social media using hashtag #BalanceAwarenessWeek2018 (Coming soon!)\nInvite friends & family to LIKE VeDA on Facebook to learn more about vestibular disorders\, and share our educational posts\n\nWHERE DOES BALANCE AWARENESS WEEK TAKE PLACE?\nBalance Awareness Week is a series of virtual events\, both online and in communities around the world. Check vestibular.org for opportunities to participate\, lend your voice\, and take action! \n

SUMMARY:World Lymphoma Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Lymphoma Awareness Day is on 15 September.  Every year\, along with our members\, we bring together patients\, caregivers\, healthcare professionals and others concerned and affected by lymphoma in 50 countries around the world to raise awareness of cancers of the lymphatic system. \nThis year\, we’re launching the Small Things Build Confidence campaign. Living with lymphoma can leave a person feeling uncertain\, with many questions\, worries and doubts.  But research from Lymphoma Coalition has found that confidence\, which often stems from information and support\, plays a significant role in positive healthcare experiences and outcomes for patients. \nBetween September 9 and 15\, patients\, caregivers\, healthcare professionals and people concerned about lymphoma patients are invited to join the worldwide Facebook conversation on the Lymphoma Coalition page and share the small things that help you feel more confident. \nWhen we all start bringing the challenges and issues that patients face into the light\, we can support\, empower and help patients build confidence. \nTo find World Lymphoma Awareness Day activities in your region\, search for your local organisation here. \n

SUMMARY:Pension Awareness Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:The UK is facing a challenge – we are not saving enough for the future. We all want to retire someday and you can’t keep relying on that lottery win to see you through – the time has come to take your future into your hands. \nThat is why we came up with the Pension Awareness Campaign and in order to spread the message we are taking our campaign on the road with a double decker bus. Staffed with advisers\, as we tour Britain\, we welcome you to come on board the bus and ask your pension related question – all for free! \nAs our Pension Awareness Campaign bus tours Britain\, we welcome you on board to seek free guidance from our team of on board advisers. Whether you are just thinking about starting a pension or perhaps you’ve come to the end of your working career and are about to retire\, all questions are welcome\, big or small. \nThis campaign also aims to support businesses in helping them to prepare for their automatic enrolment duties and supporting them in engaging the workforce with their pension communications. \nYou can visit any of our tour bus stops. We will be at each location between the hours of 10am and 6pm. Just look out for the big blue bus! \n

SUMMARY:International Dot Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:International Dot Day\, a global celebration of creativity\, courage and collaboration\, began when teacher Terry Shay introduced his classroom to Peter H. Reynolds’ book The Dot on September 15\, 2009. \nThe Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage\, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing\, which has gone on to inspire countless children and adults around the globe. \nAnd each year on International Dot Day – with the help of people just like you –the inspiration continues. What started as a story in the pages of a book is transforming teaching and learning around the world as people of all ages re-discover the power and potential of creativity in all they do. \nTo get started\, sign up to download our Educator’s Handbook and visit our gallery of past projects for inspiration and ideas. And don’t forget to get connected to people just like you who are committed to teaching and learning with creativity. \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Democracy 2019
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Democracy 2019 is held on September 15th\, and is held on the same date every year\, and tends to have a theme\, the theme for 2017 was ‘Democracy and Conflict Prevention’. \nInternational Day of Democracy is an annual day that has been running for 10 years. It is a United Nations\, (UN)\, day of observation\, the purpose of the day is to review the state of democracy in the world and uphold and and promote democracy and its principles. The day was founded on the 20th anniversary of the First International Conference of the New or Restored Democracies\, which promoted global democracy. \nOn the day\, individuals and organizations of all kinds work together for democracy and hold events to raise awareness of democracy\, including conferences\, discussions and debates\, as well as press conferences and publicity campaigns though distribution of leaflets\, posters and flyers\, often with the UN logo on them. Major events to commemorate the day are held at UN headquarters. \nDemocracy and human rights are closely linked\, and UN covenants on these matters are to the fore on this observance day. Democracy is a state where the people have rights\, especially to vote for and elect their government and regulation from among themselves\, rather than being controlled by a government over whom they have no right of dissent\, election or protest. Lack of democracy can lead to lack of rights or a voice\, and this impacts on human rights as set out by the UN. \n

SUMMARY:EUROPEAN­­ MOBILITY­ WEEK 2019
DESCRIPTION:Europeans love variety – in food\, in fashion\, in music – so why is it that when it comes to transport so many of us stick to one mode? This year’s EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK encourages us to explore the many different options available for getting from A to B\, and to think about the mode that best suits our particular journey. \nEUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2018 focused on ‘multimodality’ – the mixing of transport modes within the same journey or for different trips. Many of us instinctively opt for the same method of transport when moving around without necessarily examining the needs of the specific journey. The car may be the best way to take your family to the seaside\, for example\, but is it the best way to get them to the city centre where space and access is often limited? \nThis year\, why not test out different transport modes: cycle to the gym to get a head start on burning calories\, bring your bike on the train to beat the rush hour traffic\, or take the bus and then stroll to the shops to avoid parking fees! \nAs well as providing health benefits\, significant savings can be achieved through a multimodal approach\, particularly when short journeys are completed through walking and cycling. \nEmbracing the concept of multimodality means rethinking the way we move about our cities\, and having the willingness to try out new forms of mobility. From a city’s perspective\, it requires the political will to support alternative transport methods. \nBy introducing some sustainable transport modes into our journeys\, not only can we have a positive impact on the environment\, we may just find that we’re fitter and happier\, with some extra spending money too! \n

SUMMARY:Sexual Health Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to announce that the theme for this year’s national Sexual Health Week will be making sexual health inclusive. \nAs society shifts and changes\, we’ve become more aware that not all sexual health services and information are suitable for everyone’s needs. We’re looking forward to exploring this important topic in-depth this year and hope that it will encourage greater inclusivity across the sector. \nWe know that sexual health and education professionals have a huge amount of knowledge and expertise to share on this subject – but also a lot to learn from one another. \nSexual Health Week 2019 will take place from Monday 16 to Sunday 22 September\, and as always we’ll be providing you with useful resources to help you take part in the week. \nJoin in the conversation on Twitter. and tell us what you’ll be planning for the week\, using the hashtag #SHW19. \n

SUMMARY:National Coding Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:How to get involved with National Coding Week.\nChildren are part of a confident “Digital Generation” having grown up with the internet\, smart phones and coding classes. However\, many adults have missed out on the digital revolution and feel left behind. \n“The aim of National Coding Week is to give adults the opportunity to learn some digital skills.” \nWe want to create taster sessions for parents\, teachers\, business leaders\, school leavers\, the unemployed\, people with autism or those who have retired. It’s open to everyone! \nWe are not expecting people to become coders after one session! For many people it takes years of practice and experience but these taster sessions can be the first step on a journey into a digital business or digital career. \nChildren can inspire adults\nChildren are learning digital skills in school or through coding clubs such as CoderDojos. We therefore would like these clubs to open their doors to parents for a one-off session in which the children will teach the adults some of the skills they have learnt. \nLibraries can act as focal points\nLibraries are in an ideal position to act as a focal point and can host a coding session. Either the staff can lead the session or someone who is confident and familiar with coding from the local community can share their skills. Read CILIP’s blog: Libraries — how they can improve our Digital Literacy \nSchools and Code Clubs can get involved\nChildren are learning coding but many parents don’t understand what their children are doing and many non-specialist teachers and governors feel they have missed out on these skills. \nThis year in partnership with Makewaves we are offering children the opportunity to learn and share new skills by collecting digital badges. \n\n \nShare Your Skills \n\nShare Your Skills Badge – involves planning a digital skills lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Create a simple lesson plan of what you will be teaching your class. The ‘lesson’ can be any time from 15 minutes to 60 minutes and it can be taught by a single person or a group of 5 maximum. Each individual needs to have a clear role. \n  \n  \n  \n\n \nStay Safe Online \n\nStay Safe Online  Badge – involves planning a stay safe online  lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Research a stay safe online topic\, examples are listed below but you could choose any topic that is important to you: \nData Protection | Cyber Security | Social Media Management | Privacy settings | Passwords management | Knowing who you are communicating with (stranger danger) \n  \n  \nFor more details check out the National Coding Week / Makewaves Digital Badges  \nWeb\, app\, creative and digital businesses can throw open their doors\nThose with the expertise can share their skills and have fun teaching people the basics of coding. There are many training organisations who offer courses throughout the year. They can contribute to the week by offering taster sessions to encourage people to sign-up. \nTech Hubs\nThere are hundreds of tech hubs with amazing businesses working from them. The tech hubs are giving start-ups a platform from which to launch businesses and inspire others. These can be the perfect venue for the week and we would love them to be involved. \nAdvice\n\nKeep it simple — it might simply be showing people the resources available online at Codex \, Codecademy or TeamTreehouse.\nIf you are able to organise it\, get a friendly local web development agency\, ICT teacher or FE college tutor to lead the session.\nA simple introductory session can be to get people familiar with tags / code that make up HTML and CSS and show how they work together.\n\nActivities\nActivities might include: \nUsing a text editor to combine HTML and CSS to build a simple web page \nProgramming a Raspberry Pi \nShowing the stages of development of a simple Web App \nor anything else that you are working on — it’s entirely up to you! \nTimings\nWe would like the sessions to be manageable and achievable — we don’t want to create lots of extra work for people. We imagine a typical session lasting 1hr — 2 hrs. To include a general introduction and then straight into giving the adults a hands-on taster of the activities which will build their confidence. Adults can leave with links to online resources such as Codex \, Codecademy or TeamTreehouse  where they can learn more in their own time. \nThis is intended to be a one-off session only\, a taster session\, to see if adults want to learn more. \nNext Steps\n\nSign up for the event at codingweek.org\nOrganise a public or private event and pin it to the map\nHold the event\, take photos and tweet using the hashtag #nationalcodingweek\n\nWe would love to hear from people willing to organise events including libraries\, schools\, digital agencies\, tech hubs and coding clubs / CoderDojos. If you let us know what you’re planning we can give you a shoutout and feature you in the run up to the week. \nWhy learning Digital Skills is important\nThe digital economy has grown enormously in the past 8 years and clusters of digital businesses are springing up everywhere. \nIt has been reported that 50% of digital product developers are self-taught and as many as 83% of app developers have taught themselves. \nThere are now more people working in tech jobs in the south east of England than the whole of California but there is a skills shortage and many adults could contribute to the digital economy if they had the confidence to get started. \nCase Study\nBrad – how learning to code changed my life! \nFurther details\nEmail: richard@codingweek.org \nTwitter: @codingweek \n

SUMMARY:National Eczema Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:During National Eczema Week 2018 (15-23 September) we urged everyone to ‘Take action on eczema’. Many people aren’t managing their eczema as well as they could and we all need a nudge sometimes to make some improvements! Eczema is a highly personal condition and people respond differently to triggers and treatments. Sometimes you need to try a few things before finding a self-management regimen that works best for you. Here are our seven top tips: \n\n1. Keep your home cool to ease itching – around 18°C is ideal.\n\n\n2. Go fragrance-free. Anything with a strong scent\, from soap to air freshener\, may be irritating to your skin.\n\n\n3. Mind the gap! Leave at least 10 minutes – or ideally longer – between applying an emollient and a topical steroid. This stops the steroid spreading to areas of skin unaffected by eczema or being diluted. It doesn’t matter which is applied first.\n\n\n4. Pinch itchy skin rather than scratching it\, to avoid damaging the skin’s barrier.\n\n\n5. Use your emollients at least twice a day to prevent dryness\, and at other times whenever your skin feels dry and itchy.\n\n\n6. Go back to basics on skincare. Check with a healthcare professional for advice to make sure you’re applying your creams properly and managing your eczema triggers as best you can.\n\n\n7. Don’t cut foods out of your diet without medical advice unless you or your child have been diagnosed with a food allergy. If you cut foods without support\, you/they may miss out on important nutrients.\n\nFor more advice on managing your eczema call the National Eczema Society Helpline on 0800 089 1122 (8am-8pm\, Monday-to-Friday) or email your questions to helpline@eczema.org. \n

SUMMARY:National Spa Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Spa Week aims to raise public awareness of the real physical\, mental and emotional benefits that regular spa attendance can offer. Regular spa attendance for the whole family is a cultural norm in many parts of Europe. In the UK we still tend to view it as a ‘once in a blue moon’ treat rather than a weekly or monthly essential. \nOur 21st century lives are fast paced\, more digitally influenced\, and busier than ever before. In the same way regular gym attendance keeps us physically fit\, regular spa attendance is an effective way to help combat the long term effects of everyday stress that we have become accustomed to living with. \nFrom the 16th September – 22nd September 2019\, thousands of spas and salons across the UK are uniting to offer lots of exciting introductory offers and promotions on spa treatments so that more people can ‘give it a try’. \n

SUMMARY:Constitution Day (Citizenship Day) 2019
DESCRIPTION:Constitution Day (also referred to as Citizenship Day) is a United States federal observance that commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution and honors those who have become U.S. citizens by coming of age or naturalization. \nIt is observed annually on September 17.  \nThe delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the final version of the United States Constitution on September 17\, 1787. In 1911\, Iowa became the first state to recognize the anniversary of this event as Constitution Day. In 1917\, a committee formed by the Sons of the American Revolution started promoting this day. \nThe law establishing the present holiday was enacted in 2004. On this day\, all federal agencies and publicly funded educational establishments are required to provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution. When Constitution Day falls on a weekend or another holiday\, its observation is moved to the closest weekday. \n

SUMMARY:National HIV/ AIDS and Aging Awareness Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day is a U.S. awareness day observed on September 18 every year. Like most HIV/AIDS-related awareness days\, it is supported by AIDS.gov\, an internet portal for all federal domestic HIV and AIDS resources and information. \nAccording to the information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, people aged 55 and older accounted for 26% of the 1.2 million people living with HIV (diagnosed or undiagnosed) in the U.S. in 2013. Older patients are often diagnosed late in the course of infection\, which leads to shorter HIV-to-AIDS intervals. In 2014\, about 40% of people aged 55 and older were diagnosed with AIDS at the time of HIV diagnosis. \nIn addition\, thanks to the huge advancement in medical science\, more and more people are living longer than ever before therefore there is an increased need to understand the impact of the aging process upon those living with HIV/Aids. \nThere are several reasons for late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in older people. Medical institutions are less focused on testing older people\, while people aged 55 and older think that they are not exposed to the risk of infections or confuse the early symptoms of HIV with the signs of aging. \nNational HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day was launched to raise public awareness of the challenges that older Americans diagnosed with HIV have to face\, as well as of the importance of HIV prevention\, testing\, care\, and treatment among people aged 55 and older. \nShow your support for this campaign. \n

SUMMARY:National POW / MIA Recognition Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National POW/MIA Recognition Day is an observance that honors whose who were prisoners of war (POW) as well as those who are still missing in action (MIA). \nIt is observed in the United States on the third Friday in September\, in 2019 20th September. \nNational POW/MIA Recognition Day was proclaimed by the United States Congress in 1998. It is one of the six national observances when the POW/MIA Flag can be flown. The other five observances are Armed Forces Day\, Memorial Day\, Flag Day\, Independence Day\, and Veterans Day.  The POW/MIA flag was created by the National League of Families in 1972 and was officially recognized by the Congress in 1990. It is a symbol of concern about United States military personnel taken as POW or listed as MIA.  The POW/MIA flag should be no larger than the United States flag. It is typically flown immediately below or adjacent to the national flag as second in the order of precedence. \nOn National POW/MIA Recognition Day\, the flag is flown on the grounds of major military installations\, veterans memorials\, government agencies\, federal national cemeteries. \nIn the armed forces\, a single table and chair draped with the POW/MIA flag are displayed in mess halls and dining halls. Such installation symbolizes the hope for the return of these who are missing in action. \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2019
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. The event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe. \n

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:September 21st every year is World Alzheimer’s Day around the world. This is an international campaign aimed at raising awareness and challenge the common stigma that surrounds Alzheimer related dementia. \nAlzheimer’s is a progressive disease that impairs memory and other mental functions. It is the most common form of dementia that generalizes memory loss and loss of other essential cognitive abilities that are serious enough to interfere with an individual’s daily life. \nSeptember 2019 marks the 8th world Alzheimer’s month since the campaign was launched in 2012. From previous studies\, an average of 2 out of 3 people globally have little or no understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and associated dementia in their countries. \nSince its inception\, the impact of World Alzheimer’s Month is increasing. However\, the stigmatisation and lack of information surrounding dementia remains to be a global problem that calls for global action. Most people often think that this disease is a normal part of ageing. \nThough this may not be true\, a greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is increasing age. This is evident by majority of Alzheimer’s patients being 65 years or older. This doesn’t completely classify the disease as an elderly disease. This is because there are approximately 200\,000 Americans under 65 suffering from disease. \nFor this year’s event\, organisations and interested individuals can get involved by supporting awareness through contacting the Alzheimer’s association in their specific country. \n

SUMMARY:World Car Free Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organized events are held in some cities and countries. September 22 is World Car Free Day. According to The Washington Post\, the event “promotes improvement of mass transit\, cycling and walking\, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance”. Studies showed that for short trips in cities\, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. \nThe events\, which vary by location\, give motorists and commuterists an idea of their locality with fewer cars. While projects along these lines had taken place from time to time on an ad hoc basis starting with the 1973 oil crisis\, it was only in October 1994 that a structured call for such projects was issued in a keynote speech by Eric Britton at the International Ciudades Accessibles (Accessible Cities) Conference held in Toledo (Spain). \nWithin two years the first Days were organized in Reykjavík(Iceland)\, Bath (United Kingdom) and La Rochelle (France)\, and the informal World Car Free Days Consortium was organized in 1995 to support Car-Free Days worldwide. The first national campaign was inaugurated in Britain by the Environmental Transport Association in 1997\, the French followed suit in 1998 as In town\, without my car! and was established as a Europe-wide initiative by the European Commission in 2000. In the same year the Commission enlarged the program to a full European Mobility Week which now is the major focus of the Commission\, with the Car-Free Day part of a greater new mobility whole. Also in 2000\, car free days went global with a World Carfree Day program launched by Carbusters\, now World Carfree Network\, and in the same year the Earth Car Free Day collaborative program of the Earth Day Network and the World Car Free Days collaborative.\n

SUMMARY:Fire Door Safety Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:A door’s a door’s a door\, right? No\, a fire door is an engineered safety device.\nFire doors are a crucial part of the passive fire protection of every commercial\, public and multiple occupancy building.  They save lives and property.\nThere are about 3 million new fire doors bought and installed every year in the UK\, the vast majority made from timber. Fire doors are often the first line of defence in a fire and their correct specification\, maintenance and management can be the difference between life and death for building occupants. However\, they remain a significant area of neglect\, often the first thing to be downgraded on a specification and mismanaged throughout their service life\, propped open\, damaged and badly maintained. Consequently\, we have created Fire Door Safety Week: \n\nTo raise awareness of the critical role of fire doors\, drawing attention to specific issues such as poor installation and maintenance.\nTo encourage building owners and users to check the operation and condition of their fire doors and to report those that aren’t satisfactory.\nTo link together the initiatives of many organisations with common interests in the fire door and passive fire protection industries.\nTo engage and educate people\, helping the whole building industry and every property owner to understand the correct specification\, supply\, installation\, operation\, inspection and maintenance of fire doors.\n\nSupported by a wide range of organisations\, Fire Door Safety Week is the brainchild of the British Woodworking Federation\, BWF-CERTIFIRE Scheme and Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS). \nHow can you get involved?\nWhy not:\n\nUpload our logo and put a link to Fire Door Safety Week on your website.\nTweet about Fire Door Safety Week or publicise your support on other social media – don’t forget to use the hashtag #FireDoorSafetyWeek.\nHold a free CPD session for local businesses about fire door safety.\nOpen up your factory and invite your local MP to see what you do to promote fire door safety.\nUse our videos to raise awareness among your staff or building users.\nCarry out an inspection of your fire doors\, or get a FDIS Certificated Inspector to help.\nRun a communications campaign or leaflet drop to tell your tenants about fire door safety.\nDisplay posters showing three simple fire door safety tips.\nSpend a day in your local builder’s merchants giving buyers advice on third-party certificated fire doors and the correct components.\nDistribute copies of our free fact cards on all aspects of fire door specification.\nLaunch a new product or service that helps more people specify\, buy\, install or maintain their fire doors.\nSend an email to all your customers saying you support Fire Door Safety Week and letting them know about this website…\n\nSo many options\, so much scope! What will you choose to do?\n

SUMMARY:National Eye Health Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:This year’s  National Eye Health Week is set to take place from the 23rd to 29th September 2019. Like other awareness campaigns\, this campaign aims to inspire and educate people on the importance of eye health and why they should go for regular sight tests. \nMany people often fear losing vision; yet take minimal steps in caring for their eyes. This is what the National Eye Health Week aims to change. Having said that\, here are some of the interesting facts about eye health you may not know. \n• About 2 million persons are living with severe sight loss in UK\, that can significantly impact their daily activities. Half of this population’s sight loss is avoidable.\n• A sight test easily detects the early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma\, which can be treated soon.\n• During any sight test\, other health conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected.\n• To maintain healthy eyes\, you should eat well\, avoid smoking and wear eye protection during bright sunlight. \nThe importance of eye sight towards the overall wellbeing\, independence and quality of life of an individual is too important to be ignored. This is why eye care charities\, health professionals and organisations across the UK are encouraged to join together during this week to promote the importance of eye health and need for regular tests. \n

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2019
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.\nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2018\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster. \n

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:Date: 23-29 September 2019 \nlast years theme was: Recycling. We do. Because it matters and it was all about motivating people to care about plastics in a way they never have before. \nSustainability is firmly on the national agenda and the public is looking to organisations to help solve major environmental issues. That makes Recycle Week a greater opportunity than ever to change people’s recycling behaviours while gaining positive publicity and building your organisation’s reputation. \nNow in its 15th year\, Recycle Week is a celebration of recycling\, organised by WRAP under the Recycle Now brand. The aim of the week is to encourage the public to recycle more\, by demonstrating the benefits of recycling items from all around the home. \nThis year’s theme will be: ‘Recycling. We do. Because it matters.’ \nThe theme is designed to capture attention and put across simple but important messages about why recycling matters. Partners will have the opportunity to bust myths and demonstrate why recycling is beneficial – keeping it in use\, and out of our environment. Recycle Week 2019 is going to be our biggest yet! Recycle Now would love to have you involved. \nTake a look at our short film and get inspired to support Recycle Week 2019. If you are an organisation and are interested in getting involved\, please email: PartnerEnquiries@wrap.org.uk and we will get in touch with you to discuss how we can work together. \nYou can also download a one-page introduction from the WRAP Resource Library. \n

SUMMARY:National Punctuation Day in the USA 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Punctuation Day is an annual observance held on September 24. \nIt was established to promote the correct usage of punctuation in the English language. National Punctuation Day was created by Jeff Rubin in 2004 to emphasize the vital role of punctuation marks in written English. In the English language\, the simple differences in punctuation can produce the sharp differences in meaning\, that is why correct punctuation is so important. \nThere are two major styles of punctuation in the English language: British (logical punctuation) and American (traditional punctuation). They differ primarily in the way they handle quotation marks. The rest of the basic punctuation rules are essentially the same in all varieties of English.Sadly\, these rules are often ignored\, which may lead to misunderstanding. Punctuation is as important as any other aspect of the written language. That is why Rubin founded National Punctuation Day.National Punctuation Day is marked with special lessons at schools\, contests\, fundraisers\, and other appropriate events and activities. \nIn 2006\, Jeff Rubin and his wife\, Norma\, launched Punctuation Playtime. It is a program for elementary school students that focuses on reinforcing important punctuation lessons. \n

SUMMARY:Ask a Stupid Question Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Ask a Stupid Question Day is an informal holiday that is celebrated in some American schools on September 28 (or on the last school day of September when September 28 falls on the weekend). The holiday dates back to the 1980s. \nIt was created by a group of teachers to encourage kids to ask more questions in the classroom. The problem is that kids often fear that their question is stupid and hold back because they are afraid of being ridiculed by classmates. But asking questions is an integral part of the educational process and an important source of feedback for teachers. \nAsk a Stupid Question Day is an opportunity for shy kids to speak up and ask any question they were afraid to ask\, no matter how dumb and irrelevant it may seem. This day aims not only to encourage students to be more inquisitive\, but to create a positive classroom environment where children are not afraid of being laughed at.Some schools outside the United States have started to celebrate Ask a Stupid Question Day\, too. \nIt is reported that some British and Indian schools have adopted it. \n

SUMMARY:National Hunting and Fishing Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in September. \nFirst proclaimed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon following a suggestion in 1960 by local Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe\, the day was originally suggested as an official day of gratitude to outdoor sportsmen.  The first official Outdoor Sportsmen Day was celebrated in 1970 with the day becoming nationally recognised two years later. \nContrary to popular belief\, anglers and hunters are avid supporters of wildlife conservation. They stand for sustainable use of game and fish. American outdoor sportsmen have made a great contribution to protecting and improving vital habitat and saving many species from unregulated exploitation. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day focuses on raising public awareness about the importance of the wise use of natural resources\, promoting wildlife conversation and outdoor sports. On this day\, local\, state\, regional and national organizations hold fishing- and hunting-related events providing participants with an opportunity to experience traditional outdoor sports. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day\, celebrated the fourth Saturday of every September\, remains the most effective grassroots efforts ever undertaken to promote the outdoor sports and conservation. \nWith events taking place across the country\, why not visit the dedicated website to find out whats going on in your area.  This is niot only a great opportunity to learn a new sport\, but also to become more involved with conservation and environmental issues. \n

SUMMARY:National Public Lands Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is a national annual observance that typically falls on the last Saturday in September. It focuses on volunteer conservation of public lands (lands held by central or local governments). \nOrganized each year by the National Environmental Education Foundation (NEEF)\, National Public Lands Day promotes the connection between people and the environment by inviting everyone to get outside.  Public lands in the United States include parks\, forests\, and wildlife management areas. Most of them are open for recreational use. \nThe Nations largest volunteer event\, the event was first held in 1994 when 700 volunteers worked at three sites. The initiative turned out a huge success and became an annual tradition. \nBy 2014\, participation grew to about 175\,000 volunteers at more than 2\,000 sites throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.  NPLD focuses on caring for public lands across the country\, educating the citizens about the natural resources and environment.  Whether it be from damage caused by natural disasters and extreme weather\, human activities or the host of other factors that impact upon our public lands threatening the health and well being of the people and wildlife who depend upon them\,  public land managers\, volunteers\, and others who steward these special places work tirelessly to restore these areas\, make them more resilient to future threats\, and ensure that people and wildlife continue to enjoy them for years to come. \nIt is supported by federal agencies\, state\, regional and local governments\, and non-profit organizations.  NPLD volunteers collect invasive plants\, build and maintain trails\, plant trees\, shrubs and other plants\, remove trash from trails and other places. They also donate money through volunteer services to help improve public land sites. \nEvery year sees a different theme applied to assist focus.  The theme for 2018 focused on resilience and restoration with the theme for 2019 due to be announced shortly. \n

SUMMARY:ADHD Awareness Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a very common disorder which affects children and adults. It has for many years been recognised as a childhood issue that affects focus\, self-control and many other important skills. However\, it has only recently been recognised as an adult problem too. The cause is an imbalance in the brains anatomy and its wiring. \nHow did ADHD Awareness Month Get Started?\nAn ADHD Awareness Day was how it all started. A resolution was passed by the United States Senate that declared September 7th as National Attention Deficit Disorder Day in 2006. From there it grew into a full month by 2004. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of ADHD\, by providing information that is reliable. The information is based on research and scientific evidence. \nThe Organisers\nA coalition of organisations are responsible for organising many different events around the world: the ADHD Organisation (ACO); the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) and the Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHASDD). \nWhat You Can do to Take Part\nA number of different resources are available\, and the idea is to spread the word\, far and wide. If you want to help educate people then there are various resources available online. These include fact sheets and posters\, graphics and logos\, together with videos and recordings. In 2017\, there was a video contest judged by members of the public and professionals. \n

SUMMARY:Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:Breast cancer … it’s a scary thought and all too many women assume that it won’t happen to them. Fact is though\, every ten minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK. So\, don’t be ignorant\, during breast cancer awareness month 2018 go for a medical checkup\, it might save your life. \nEarly signs of breast cancer can be a lump in a breast\, a painful breast or armpit\, or a discharge from the nipple. Even if none of these symptoms present themselves\, a doctor should be visited to be sure. A doctor will most likely perform a manual exam and send you for a mammogram. A mammogram examination is painless and only takes about ten minutes. \nIf any of these symptoms do present themselves there’s no need to panic. Plenty of time\, pain or a lump in a breast can be perfectly harmless. The pain can be a sign of a cyst or the lump can be benign. It’s always better to be sure though. \nIf the mammogram shows a lump\, your doctor will order a biopsy. This test will show if the lump is benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous). If the lump is cancerous there’s still no reason to panic. Early detection is a life saver. By way of a simple operation the lump is removed after which the doctor will discuss further options with you. \nIf you’ve never had a mammogram\, make an appointment during breast cancer awareness month 2018. You can take a friend or family member with you and afterward you’ll have peace of mind. \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Older Persons 2019
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated Annually on October 1st – International Day of Older Persons\nResolution 45/106\, passed by the United Nations General Assembly on December 14th 1990\, declared October 1st to be the International Day of Older Persons. The theme for the 2018 celebration is “Celebrating Older Human Rights champions”. \nHow do People Celebrate?\nThe day is a special one for older people and senior citizens around the world. You may find officials and politicians making speeches that focus on this growing section of the population\, at this time of the year. The media will also take this as an opportunity to publish interviews. Many of which will be with older persons who have had an impact on society. Schools\, public institutions and office buildings will also use the day for announcing activities that promote older persons. \nThe World Health Organisation\nThe WHO has been playing a significant role in celebrations\, and actively promoting public awareness of the day. Discussions have been held relating to the ageing population\, providing adequate health provisions\, social care and volunteer work. \nVarious Initiatives Preceded the Resolution\nThere are currently around 700 million people over the age of 60. It is predicted that by 2050\, this figure will have risen to 2 billion.

SUMMARY:CMT Awareness Month (Charcot-Marie-Tooth) 2019
DESCRIPTION:How many times have you been asked – “what condition do you have” – only to receive a completely blank expression and the words “haven’t heard of that one!” when you tell them! \nEven worse than that – what about when it  happens when you’re at the doctors or at your neurologist’s clinic! \nAwareness is important!\nWouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone – not just the medical profession – knew what Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease is\, like they do for other\, rarer\, conditions like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Motor Neurone Disease. \nAll of us in the world’s CMT organisations often hear from people with CMT saying that “it’s not happening fast enough.” “It” represents public awareness and greater understanding for Charcot Marie Tooth disease\, effective treatment options\, such as physiotherapy and orthotics and hope for genetic treatments into the future – frustration that we have every right to feel. We get frustrated too. But\, everyone can push our cause forward by channeling frustrations into opportunities and bringing the community together for strength in numbers – together we ARE stronger.\n\n\n\nSo\, we ask you\, people with CMT\, carers\, health care professionals\, policy makers…everyone in our global village\, mark your calendars for CMT Awareness Month in October  so we\, collectively\, can make it happen faster! \nInternational CMT Awareness Month is just 6 months away\, and we are excited about engaging the public at large in this annual awareness campaign to help us collectively take the conversation level on CMT disease up a few notches! We recognize that CMT disease is a 24/7/365 battle for more than 6 million people worldwide and until a treatment and/or cure is achieved\, every month is CMT Awareness Month. \nThis is an opportunity for the entire community to fire up all engines—and to use all communication resources—to drive the dialogue on CMT so: \n\nthe general public understands CMT better;\nchildren and people with CMT receive earlier diagnoses and better access to what treatment there is;\nmedical professionals engage with people with CMT to improve their care and quality of life;\nurgently needed resources for the CMT community are given a priority\, including increased funding for CMT research.\n\nWhether writing to the media on-line or off-line on the impact of CMT\, hosting fundraisers\, sharing information about CMT with your network of friends\, colleagues\, and family members\, or donating to support programs and research grants to raise CMT’s profile and find a treatment…we need to work together to generate more awareness for CMT! \nWhatever you do\, every single action—even something as simple as reposting this to your Facebook page—counts and helps our community get the word out about CMT so the public will recognize it. \nEveryone who has or cares about someone with CMT has got to stand up and be counted as someone who cares about the issues facing our community. Together—and with your help—we can bring help\, hope\, and healing to all people worldwide impacted by Charcot Marie Tooth Disease. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Lupus Awareness Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:October is Lupus Awareness Month. The aim of the month is to raise awareness of the condition\, the varying symptoms that people with lupus can exhibit and its impact on the lives of the many people who live with it. \nLupus is an immune system illness that mainly affects females and can affect any part of the body. Due to the variety of symptoms that lupus can produce\, it often goes undiagnosed for long periods and during this time can cause damage to a number of different organs such as the skin\, lungs\, heart and brain. Lupus is believed to be genetic in origin\, and there is no known cure. \nThe Lupus Awareness Month campaign uses the hashtag #THISISLUPUS\, and during the month those affected by lupus are asked to share their stories and pictures on social media or by sending them directly to Lupus UK at www.lupusuk.org. You can also order a range of leaflets and posters from the website to help raise awareness in your local community. \nThere are also a number of different events happening throughout the month to raise awareness such as a Go That Extra Mile Sponsored Walk and Lunch 4 Lupus. Participants can also help to raise awareness by wearing purple for the day and encouraging others to do the same. \n

SUMMARY:Eye Injury Prevention Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:October is Eye Injury Prevention Month across the United States. \nMore than one million people per year are affected by an eye injury and 90% of these injuries could have been prevented had the individuals been wearing protective eye wear. \nEye Injury Prevention month  aims to raise awareness about the types of eye injury that occur that could be avoided\, as well as highlighting the need for more people to use protective eye wear appropriately. \nAppropriate protective eye wear is classed as eye wear with “ANSI Z87.1” marked on the lens or frame. \nDuring October’s Eye Injury Prevention Month\, the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Eye M.D.s around the country encourage everyone to protect their eyes from accidental injury. \nSome facts and tips. \n\nAccidental eye injury is one of the leading causes of visual impairment in the United States\nMen are more likely to suffer with an eye injury than women.\nThe leading causes of eye injuries include sports accidents\, consumer fireworks\, household chemicals and battery acid\, as well as workshop and yard debris\nEyes can be damaged by the sun\, not just dust\, chemicals and foreign bodies.\nWear safety goggles when working in the workshop or yard\, jump-starting your car or working with cleaning or other chemicals.\nAlways wear appropriate protective eyewear during sports and recreational activities.\nInjuries such as cuts\, chemical burns or foreign bodies stuck in the eye are emergencies. Don’t try to treat these yourself – contact your Eye M.D. or emergency room for help immediately.\nIn case of a chemical burn to the eye\, flush the eye with clean water and seek emergency medical treatment immediately.\n\nIn order to ensure healthy vision\, the American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends frequent\, comprehensive eye exams every one or two years to prevent any serious problem.  So if you haven’t had an eye examination recently\, get one booked today! \n

SUMMARY:Unblocktober 2019
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to help reduce the amount of plastic entering our seas and rivers? \nDo you want to help fight environmentally-damaging fatbergs? \nWell\, it’s easier than you think. Through Unblocktober\, you can make small changes to your habits and the way you dispose of certain everyday items in order to make big changes to the environment – at a time when it needs our help more than ever. \nIt’s easy – so come and join us in making October… Unblocktober! \nWhat is Unblocktober? \nUnblocktober is the world’s first month-long campaign and awareness month to improve the health of our drains\, sewers\, watercourses and seas – driven completely by the public. \nWhy Unblocktober? \nOur sewer networks are under ever-increasing pressure – because of our irresponsible actions over the course of many decades. For too long we have consistently flushed and poured dangerous liquids and items into our drains. \nThis leads to the creation of fatbergs – enormous masses of congealed fat\, oil\, grease\, wet wipes\, period care products\, cotton buds\, condoms\, nappies\, bandages and much more – which block drains and sewers and cause them to work less effectively than they should. \nWhen sewers and drains get blocked\, it can cause any or all of the following: \n– Foul waste flooding\n– Pollution\n– Excavation and repair\, causing roadworks \nHowever\, it can also lead to plastic pollution\, which is another global crisis that we need to fight. \nNappies\, period care products\, cotton buds and many other items are non-biodegradable because they contain hidden plastics. \nPutting them in our drains increases the chances of plastic making its way into our rivers and seas – into which approximately 8 million pieces of plastic find their way every day. \nThe good news is you can make a big difference\, but without having to make a big effort. \nHow to Get Involved \nAll we want is for you to pay more attention to what you put down the drain this October and commit to putting none of the following down your drains or toilets for the whole month: \n– Cooking oil\n– Food – even crumbs!\n– Anything containing plastic\, including:\n– Wet wipes\n– Tampons\, applicators and wrappers\n– Sanitary/menstrual pads and towels\n– Nappies\n– Condoms\n– Cotton buds\n– Contact lenses\n– Bandages and plasters\n– Razor blades\n– Dental floss \nTake the Unblocktober Challenge By Signing Up Today \nAre you ready to do your bit for the environment this year? If so\, sign up for Unblocktober today at http://www.unblocktober.org. \n

SUMMARY:Lee National Denim Day in the USA 2019
DESCRIPTION:Lee National Denim Day is a one-day fund-raising event\, that’s annually observed on the first Friday in October. \nThis event was started in 1996 to contribute and support breast cancer research and wellness program. \nLee National Denim Day started when several Lee Jeans employees realized that they were affected by breast cancer in one form or another. During the conversation they came with an idea to start some kind of event\, that could raise money to help all women suffering from breast cancer. Thus the event was shaped. \nThe idea of Lee National Denim Day is rather simple: employees are encouraged to wear jeans at work in exchange for a $5 dollar contribution to the fight against breast cancer.   The response to the first event was astonishing! The original goal was to raise $1 million\, but the event brought $1.4 million. The campaign was revoked again in 1997 and now it’s annually observed on the first Friday in October. \nAll money raised from the event is donated to the American Cancer Society. \n

SUMMARY:World Teachers Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Also known as International Teachers Day\, World Teachers Day is held yearly on October 5. Since its set up in 1994\, the day celebrates the marking of the ” teaching in Freedom” in 1996. Last year the theme was “Engaging Teachers”. It is observed all over the world over since 1994 after the UNESCO Recommendation concerning Teachers. \nWhat is the purpose of the World Teachers Day?\nIts point is to centre around “acknowledging\, evaluating and enhancing the instructors of the world” and to give a chance to consider the issues identified with educators and the teaching process in general. \nLate year World Teachers’ Day honoured the twentieth commemoration of the 1997 UNESCO points concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel\, bringing the occasionally disregarded zone of showing staff at Higher Education foundations into the discussion about teachers. In 2018 the teachers day will be on a Friday\, and it is worth following. \nThe event has consistently been held on October 5 since 1994 and the goal is the same; to honours educators’ associations around the world. Its point is to prepare to bolster for instructors and to guarantee that the requirements of future ages will keep on being met by educators. \nAs indicated by UNESCO\, World Teachers’ Day speaks to a massive token of the mindfulness\, comprehension and thankfulness showed for the fundamental commitment that educators make in advancement by teaching. \nThe Education International (EI) organisation firmly trusts that World Teachers’ Day ought to be globally perceived and celebrated far and wide. EI likewise believes that the standards of the 1966/97 suggestions ought to be considered for execution in all countries. \nMore than 100 nations celebrate the World Teachers’ Day globally. The endeavours of Education International and its 401 associations have added to this broadly spread acknowledgement. Consistently\, EI dispatches an open mindfulness crusade to feature the commitments of the teaching calling. \n

SUMMARY:Backcare Awareness Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:Theme – Back pain in Older Adults \nBack pain is one of the major disabling health conditions among older adults aged 60 years and older. Many causes of lower back pain are age-related with physical and psychosocial changes. There is a distinct lack of awareness\, especially in older adults to the causes and effects of back pain and pain management. BackCare would like to provide information\, latest updates\, design new booklets and posters to shine a light on the subject during its BackCare Awareness week on the second week of October 2018. \nExisting evidence suggests that prevalence rates of severe and chronic low back pain increase with older age. As compared to working-age adults\, older adults are more likely to develop lower back pain like osteoporotic vertebral fractures\, tumors\, spinal infection\, and lumbar spinal stenosis \n

SUMMARY:World Post Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:A Day to Celebrate World Postal Systems\nEvery year\, on October 9th\, World Post Day is celebrated. You may not have heard of it\, but it has been in the calendar since 1969. It is held to mark the anniversary of the creation of the Universal Postal Union. The Union was established to create and maintain a postal system for the free flow of mail around the world. \nHow People Celebrate World Post Day\nThe day is celebrated around the world and by various international organisations. You might find high ranking officials making speeches or discussing the various achievements of a country’s postal system. Some countries issue special postage stamps to commemorate the day. In schools there could be special lessons for children. While postal workers could get extra training or receive rewards of recognition. UNESCO\, has organised a letter writing competition for many years\, with prizes being awarded on World Post Day. \nUniversal Postal Congress\nThe Universal Postal Congress helps increase awareness of global communication and trade and how these are linked with postal services. Originally known as the General Postal Union\, it changed its name to the Universal Postal Union in 1878. At this time it also became a specialised agency on the United Nations. A conference is held every year\, and it was during the 1969 Congress in Tokyo that World Post Day was declared. \nThe UPU works to increase awareness of this special day by designing posters and distributing them around the world. There are no particular themes used but the design being used for the period up to 2018 revolves around innovation\, integration and inclusion. The Union’s three objectives. \n

SUMMARY:World Mental Health Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the World Federation of Mental Health\, World Mental Health Day will be on October 10\, 2019. The goal is to help raise mental health awareness. Each of us can make a contribution to ensure that people dealing with problems concerning mental health can live better lives with dignity. \nThe Dilemma\nEvery year one adult in four\, along with one child in ten\, will have a mental health issue. These conditions can profoundly affect literally millions of lives\, affecting the capability of these individuals to make it through the day\, to sustain relationships\, and to maintain work. \nThe stigma attached to mental health causes a damaging\, albeit ill-informed\, attitude\, making it more difficult for those affected to pursue help. According to UK estimates\, only about one-fourth of those with mental health problems undergo ongoing treatment. By stark contrast\, the vast majority of those affected with these problems are faced with a variety of issues\, ranging from isolation to uncertainty on where to get help or information\, to relying on the informal support of family\, friends or colleagues. \nRaising Awareness\nThe best way to deal with this stigma is through facts and a better understanding of mental health problems. From identifying the causes\, pinpointing solutions\, and ultimately recognising that we are really dealing with medical issues. For your information\, we have updated our Fundamental Facts Guide. Please review and help spread the news about World Mental Health Day 2019. \n

SUMMARY:National Coming Out Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National coming out day is celebrated on October 11th on a yearly basis. It grows and becomes more well known every single year. National coming out day is a time for those in the LGBT community to finally be open about who they are to their friends\, family and the world! \nThis day was actually founded way back in 1988 and since then it has hit the world by storm. Being out and proud as a lesbian person\, a bisexual person\, a gay person or a trans person is such a liberation and is sure to completely transform your life for the better. \nThere is no question that homophobia and ignorance builds on silence so it is time to end that silence. Being proud of who you are and who you live will make you happier within yourself. Research has shown that if somebody KNOWS somebody who is part of the LGBT community\, they are much less likely to be homophobic. \n‘Coming out’ basically means expressing your sexuality to the world in order to end the stigma and this is exactly what NCDO is about. Get out of that closest and do it proudly on this special day of the year. \n

SUMMARY:National No Bra Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Although the origins of National No Bra Day are unclear – this event has been running since at least 2011\, with the message of raising awareness for the importance of breast cancer screening\, recognising the symptoms of breast cancer and regular self-examinations in the fight against breast cancer\, by encouraging women to leave their bras at home on October 13th. \nAlthough a controversial event in the eyes of some\, National No Bra Day further aims to raise awareness of breast cancer during October. Using the hashtag #nobraday on social media and encouraging women to go braless for a 24-hour period on the 13th October\, National No Bra Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of knowing how to carry out breast self-examinations\, being able to recognise the symptoms of breast cancer and encouraging women to partake in regular breast cancer screening. \n \nSo on October 13th\, remember to leave the lingerie at home\, or take part on social media to help raise awareness for breast cancer research\, \nIf you would like to help raise awareness of this event\, please use the hashtag #nobraday . \nFor more information on breast self-examination please visit this page. https://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/information-support/have-i-got-breast-cancer/signs-symptoms-breast-cancer/checking-your-breasts \nFor further information on breast cancer screening\, please visit this page: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/type/breast-cancer/about/screening/who-is-screened-for-breast-cancer \nThe original\, and somewhat controversial copy from the first No Bra Day can be found below. \nBoobies are Fantastic… We all think so. And what better way to express the way we feel than to support a full day of boobie freedom?? \n Women are magnificent creatures\, and so are their breasts. Let us spend the day unleashing boobies from their boobie zoos. \nLadies\, free your breasts for 24 hours by removing those dreadful (but at times oh-so-helpful) bras. Our perkiness should not be hidden. It is time that the world see what we were blessed with. Your breasts might be colossal\, adorable\, miniature\, full\, jiggly\, fancy\, sensitive\, glistening\, bouncy\, smooth\, tender\, still blossoming\, rosy\, plump\, fun\, silky\, Jello-like\, fierce\, jolly\, nice\, naughty\, cuddly… But the most used word to describe your breasts on October 13th should be FREE! \nGentlemen\, you can participate too! Your job will be to support us ladies by rocking something purple. It can be a purple tie\, purple boxers\, purple socks\, the NNBD button or t-shirt.. If it is purple or with the NNBD logo\, it supports us. (Your support means quite a lot to us…) \nIf wearing a bra on this day is absolutely necessary\, you can definitely show your support by wearing something purple. \nYay for boobies! \nP.S. Ladies…. Wearing a white t-shirt on this day is not only acceptable\, but encouraged! \n**Breast Cancer is something you should take seriously and be checked for.** \n

SUMMARY:Chocolate Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:So here it is fellow chocolate lovers\, the one we’ve all been waiting for\, Chocolate Week! If you’re anything like me I’m sure you’ve already got lots planned to celebrate Chocolate Week in style\, but just to show an extra bit of appreciation to the stuff\, here’s a few interesting facts you might not know about chocolate. \nHappy Chocolate Week! \n1. White Chocolate Is Not Chocolate. This is because it doesn’t contain cocoa solids or chocolate liquor\, meaning it isn’t chocolate in the strict sense. But it does contain parts of the cacao bean—mainly cocoa butter.\n2. The Aztecs loved and valued the cacao bean so highly that they used it as currency during the height of their civilisation. \n3. A jewel thief made off with $28 million dollars of gems in 2007 because he was able to gain the trust of the guards working the bank in Antwerp\, Belgium\, by repeatedly offering them chocolate. \n4. The blood in Psycho’s famous shower scene was actually chocolate syrup. \n5. The scientific name for the tree that chocolate comes from\, Theobroma cacao\, means “food of the gods.” \n6. It’s believed that people who are allergic to chocolate are actually allergic to cockroaches\, as around eight insect parts are typically found in a bar of chocolate\, according to the Food and Drug Administration. \n7. At one point the Nazis plotted to assassinate Winston Churchill with an exploding bar of chocolate. \n8. There is a rare fourth kind of chocolate in addition to the classic milk\, dark\, and white varieties: blond chocolate. \n9. The film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was financed by Quaker Oatsto promote its new Wonka Bar candy. This is also why the film is called “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” instead of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” like the book it’s based on. \n10. The first chocolate bar was invented in 1847 by Joseph Fry. \n

SUMMARY:White Cane Safety Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:On October 15\, White Cane Safety Day is observed around the world. \nIn the United States\, it is a national observance\, which was first celebrated in 1964\, after the proclamation by President Lyndon B. Johnson. \nWhite Cane Safety Day celebrates the achievements of blind or visually impaired people. A white cane is an important mobility tool for such people as well as the symbol of their independence. Canes have been used by blind people for centuries\, but the white cane was introduced in the early 20th century. Canes were painted white to be more easily visible. \nIn the United States\, white canes were introduced and promoted by Lion Clubs International. There are different types of the white cane such as long cane (also known as Hoover cane)\, guide cane\, identification cane (symbol cane)\, support cane\, and kiddie cane. Not all of them are used as a mobility device. For instance\, the ID cane alerts others as to its bearer’s visual impairment but is of no help as a mobility tool.The white cane is one of the symbols of a blind person’s independence at it ensures their ability to come and go on their own. In 2011\, President Barak Obama also referred to White Cane Safety Day as Blind Americans Equality Day. \nOn White Cane Awareness Day\, and throughout Meet the Blind Month\, members of the National Federation of the Blind conduct activities in their local communities such as white cane walks\, film screenings\, and social events.  To get involved and show support contact them directly for more information. \n

SUMMARY:Boss's Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Yes that’s right\, Boss’s Day is an actual thing!  Love them or loathe them there is a day dedicated to them!   Recognised annually on October 16th this campaign focuses on strengthening the bond between employers and their employees. \nCelebrated on October 16 in the United States\, Canada and some other countries\, National Boss’s Day was registered with the United States Chamber of Commerce in 1958 by Patricia Bays Haroski.  She chose the date for the celebration as the 16th October because that was her boss’s birthday.  her boss also happened to be her father so we reckon she was slightly biased!  LOL.  The day was officially proclaimed Boss’s Day in 1962 by the Governor of Illinois. \nThe day was established to demonstrate appreciation and recognition for all good bosses out there and the tough roles that they hold.  We recognise that not all of you will be as keen to celebrate such a day\, but if that is the case\, why not use it as an opportunity to build bridges or create a better relationship with your boss. \nAnd if you do have a great relationship with your boss\, Hallmark cards have been selling Boss’s Day cards since 1979\, so spread the love and show your appreciation!  You never know…they might let you go home early! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Apple Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Apple Day has proven itself to be an increasingly popular event. What started on 21st October 1990 as an attempt to spread environmental awareness and a celebration of autumn as a whole\, has quickly grown into a public holiday. The event’s name is partially owed to the fact that the day marked the return of apples to the public market\, from which they had been missing for 16 years. \nThe proceedings have certainly proven the benefit of local celebration\, along with the appreciation for apples people have\, and Apple Day deserves the top spot among the UK’s autumn holidays. It is organized by Common Ground\, as well as the Women’s Institute\, National Trust properties\, Wildlife Trusts\, and many other local restaurants\, clubs\, societies\, and educational institutes. \nNowadays\, Apple day stands to remind the public of the importance of orchards\, fields\, and nature to humanity. It has contributed to the development of farmers’ markets and encouraged people to look for more naturally sourced food. The healthcare industry\, as well as the Cancer Research Campaign\, look to the occasion as a way to nudge people into a healthier nutrition regime. \nNaturally\, there is a cornucopia of different sorts of the chosen fruit to sample on the spot\, but festival goers may be pressed for time – aside from the tastings\, one could see juicing\, baking\, grafting\, and other entertainment fitting the theme of the day\, for example reading poems about apples\, or apple-dedicated songs. \n

SUMMARY:Post Polio Syndrome Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:The first PPS Day was held in Winchester\, the ancient capital of Britain in October 2013. The day proved such a success\, that while 22 October has been marked nationwide with PPS Day centred events every year since\, there has also been a flagship event each year\, held at the major political centres of the UK. \nOur achievements to date \nThe decision was taken to kick off PPS Day each year in the major seats of government in the UK. In 2014\, this saw PPS Day at the House of Commons with the support of Andy Love\, MP; at the Welsh Assembly in 2015 supported by Mark Isherwood\, AM and in 2016 PPS Day was at the seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly at Stormont supported by Máirtín Ó Muilleoir and Sammy Douglas. \nThese events have led to new members\, new supporters and tangible progress on raising awareness of PPS among key decision makers in the country and most importantly the medical profession\, with the 120\,000 people with PPS in the UK waiting up to six years for a diagnosis\, new relationships with the RCGP and others is set to make a big difference to the lives of those with PPS. \nLighting buildings for PPS awareness \nThe last two years have seen many iconic buildings and structures agree to being illuminated in The British Polio Fellowship’s colours on the 20 October\, which has seen PPS Day move literally into the spotlight more than ever. \nTaking part in 2016 were the Millennium Bridge in Gateshead\, the Emirates Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth\, Caernarfon Castle\, Belfast Castle and many\, many more. \nIn 2017\, more buildings than ever will be illuminated in the charity’s colours to mark PPS Day. \nGet involved \nThere are many ways individuals\, groups or business can get involved with PPS Day. To discuss the options or if you have any suggestions\, contact Kripen Dhrona\, The British Polio Fellowship Marketing and Campaigns Manager on 01923 281 091. \n

SUMMARY:Navy Day in the United States 2019
DESCRIPTION:Although Navy Day in the United States has not been officially observed since 1949\, October 27 is still widely celebrated as the holiday of the United States Navy. \nThe first Navy Day was held in 1922 by the Navy League of the United States. They chose the date of October 27 because it was the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt\, who had a great interest in naval affairs and even served as an Assistant Secretary of the Navy. \nIn 1945\, Navy Day was celebrated with special pomp and pageantry. In 1949\, the U.S. Department of Defense was created and its secretary Louis A. Johnson directed that the United States Navy’s participation would occur on Armed Forces Day celebrated on the third Saturday of May. However\, the Navy League continued to organize events as before because as a civilian organization  it was not affected by the directive.  In the 1970\, it was suggested that October 13 is defined as the new date of Navy Day as the Continental Navy was formed on October 13\, 1775. \nThe date was officially changed\, but October 27 is still generally celebrated. \n

SUMMARY:National Cat Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:So what is it? Are you a cat person or dog person? That’s probably one of the most controversial questions you can ask someone. That probably explains why cats have an entire day all to themselves! \nOrigins\nNational Cat Day was created in 2005 by Colleen Paige in an effort to raise awareness of the number of suffering cats that need care and homes. It also encourages pet owners to not take their cats for granted and shower them with affection and love! This wonderful day is held on October 29th \nEfforts\nIf you’re a huge cat lover then you definitely know about this day and what’s more you’ll know what the day stands for: \n\nCats should be part of a household forever and cared for properly\nCats should be adopted\, not shopped\nCats should be ‘done’ to improve their health\nCats should only be adopted if you can care for him/her properly\n\nWhat Can I do?\nIf you’re a big cat lover (and we assume you are as you’re reading this article) then you’ll want to join in on this day. There are plenty of things you can do from spoiling your cat with a new toy and fuss to giving her delicious food she’ll appreciate. You can even donate to the local animal shelter. \n

SUMMARY:Halloween 2019
DESCRIPTION:Halloween All Hallows’ Eve All Saint’s Eve\nAll of these are names for one of the most famous international holidays to ever spread across Western society. If not enjoyed by all\, Halloween is definitely acknowledged by everyone as the celebration of monsters\, gruel and dressing up. \nHow to Celebrate\nIf you’re looking for a dummy’s crash course on Halloween party tips then you’ve come to the right place! Here are some good pointers: \n\nHost a Costume Party with prizes for the best and worst dressed\nWatch the scariest movies around (if age appropriate)\nServe blood-red punch and eyeball cupcakes\nIf you’re happy to then hand out candy for trick-or-treaters\nCarve a pumpkin!\nDecorate your house like a mausoleum\nVisit a ‘haunted’ spot\n\nWhy Do We Do It?\nThough Halloween is fun\, isn’t it a bit random? As with many holidays alive in Western culture\, its roots probably lay in Pagan celebrations and beliefs. Part of the holiday is meant to remember the dead\, much like Mexico’s Day of the Dead. \nHalloweenin’ Right\nRemember\, holidays aren’t much use to anyone if it isn’t fun for everyone. Halloween is a night for wails and cries to come only from the mummies and ghosts so be horrifying but be nice! \n

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:The aim on national Bug Busting Days is to find all the head lice and zap them in one fell swoop.  This stops them from circulating endlessly. \nOften a child who has caught head lice in the last month will show no obvious symptoms\, but they are still contagious.  In most cases there will be just 10 or so lice on the head\, and parents will not discover them unless they use a Bug Buster Kit.  This contains the unique Bug Buster combs\, expressly designed and scientifically tested for accurate louse detection\, and full\, easy-to-follow instructions on using them with ordinary shampoo and conditioner.  Remember it is always necessary to check again the Bug Busting way after treatment because none is guaranteed to kill all head lice and their eggs. \nYou can also check out this NHS Choices website entry on head lice.  It includes a clear explanation of how head lice are caught and what environmental precautions are relevant to control. \nThe charity Community Hygiene Concern produces Bug Busting materials for schools and Bug Buster Kits for families on a not-for-profit basis. \nIf you require any further information you can: \n\nRing the Bug Buster Help Line on 01908 561928\nEmail bugbusters2k@yahoo.co.uk or\nVisit the official National Bug Busting Day website\n\nSchools and nurseries up and down the country introduce parents to Bug Busting and louse control becomes “fun\, without tears”\, based on sound science. \nBug Busting Days are organised by the charity Community Hygiene Concern in partnership with the Department of Health. \nBug Busting Days take place on 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October. \n

SUMMARY:Mouth Cancer Action Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:Mouth Cancer Action Month is a charity campaign which aims to raise awareness of mouth cancer and make a difference by saving thousands of lives through early detection and prevention. \nThroughout November\, we aim to raise awareness to get more mouth cancers diagnosed at an early stage. By increasing education of the risk factors and signs and symptoms to encourage everyone to discuss these with their dental professional. \nThe importance of Mouth Cancer Action Month\nIn the UK\, more than 7\,800 people were diagnosed with mouth cancer last year and globally there are in excess of 300\,000 new cases every year. \nThe number of people being diagnosed with mouth cancer has grown by around a third in the last decade and remains one of very few cancers which are predicted to increase further in the coming years. \nAlthough there are risk factors heavily linked to the disease\, mouth cancer can affect anyone – that’s why it’s so important that we all know what to look out for. The campaign is all about taking action and promoting the messages: \n\nDon’t leave a mouth ulcer unattended for more than three weeks.\n\n\nDon’t ignore any unusual lumps or swellings or red and white patches in your mouth.\n\n\nEarly detection could save your life. If you notice any changes in your mouth speak to a dentist or doctor immediately.\n\nMouth Cancer Action Month 2019\nThis year\, we want everyone to get involved\, whether you’re on your own or as part of a team\, we have numerous ways you can be part of the campaign and make a real difference. \nMouth Cancer Action Month remains a focal point for everybody across the country to act and help spread awareness of the disease. Your support for the campaign continues to grow year-on-year\, as does our passion to reduce the number of lives effected by mouth cancer. \nA big thank you\nWe would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who continue to help us raise awareness of mouth cancer – your participation\, no matter how big or small\, is always warmly received and makes a huge difference to the campaign’s success. \nOur thanks also to our sponsor\, Simplyhealth Professionals and supporter Dentists’ Provident\, whose contributions ensure we are able to reach the maximum number of people with our messages of education\, prevention and early detection. \nCampaign events and projects\nSince we ran the campaign 14 years ago\, it has helped facilitate thousands of events and projects\, and continues to act as the spearhead campaign for providing organised grassroots activities such as oral health checks and free mouth cancer examinations\, talks\, sponsored events\, roadshows\, displays\, open sessions – all which have the ultimate goal of engaging people in the importance of being aware of mouth cancer. \nThis is just a small sample of what we have done for Mouth Cancer Action Month over the years: \n\nDirectly invested £1.5 million into promoting mouth cancer awareness.\n\n\nSupported more than 12\,000 healthcare organisations taking part in the campaign and provided thousands with patient-facing materials and resources to promote mouth cancer awareness.\n\n\nDistributed in excess of 500\,000 mouth cancer posters for displays in waiting rooms and practices\, with information about risk factors\, early warning signs and symptoms of mouth cancer.\n\n\nFacilitated around 1\,500 specialised mouth cancer events\, which specifically aimed to visually examine those patients at risk of mouth cancer.\n\n\nSupplied dental practices and hospitals with 5\,000 Blue Ribbon Appeal Kits\, to be displayed in dental practice waiting rooms. More than 250\,000 people now wear our Blue Ribbon Badge to actively show their support for Mouth Cancer Action Month.\n\n\nIncreased the profile of mouth cancer in the media agenda. More than 6\,000 articles have been published\, reaching more than 500 million people.\n\n\nAs a charity looking to make a positive impact in the public arena\, we have been able to influence policy regarding smoking\, alcohol\, diet and gender-neutral HPV vaccinations.\n\n

SUMMARY:World Vegan Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Every year on 1st November\, vegans around the world celebrate and champion for their vegan lifestyle. According to many acclaimed vegans\, the lifestyle is beneficial for the health of the human beings\, not to mention that it fosters environmental protection as well as the lives of animals. \nThe commemoration of this event began in 1994 by a UK celebrity\, Louise Wallis\, who was at the time the chair of The Vegan Society\, as they celebrated its 50th birthday\, the coinage of the terms vegan and veganism\, as well as the inception of The Vegan Society. \nNot wanting the event to coincide with others like Day of the Dead and Halloween\, and because of the doubts as to the exact date in November 1944 when the society was started\, Wallis decided to go with the first day of November. \nAround the globe\, World Vegan Day is commemorated through exhibitions\, seminars\, public debates\, workshops among others. The day presents a perfect opportunity for anyone looking to adopt the vegan lifestyle. During the event\, they can learn\, interact and maybe at the end of it; they will decide to become vegans. \nThe day also is a perfect chance for individuals to advocate the lifestyle\, share ideas and sensitize their friends on its importance as well as how they feel. \nSome of the prominent celebrities who usually commemorate the event include Ellen DeGeneres\, Ariana Grande\, Stevie Wonder\, Peter Dinklage\, Bellamy Young\, James Cameron\, Pamela Anderson among others. \nThere is no specific venue for the celebration of the event. It can be held anywhere. This year’s World Vegan Day will be on Thursday\, 1st November 2018. \n

SUMMARY:National Diabetes Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:November is National Diabetes Month\, an opportunity for local and regional advocates to team up and work with partners across the United States to raise awareness of the illness.  \nThe campaign hopes to raise awareness of symptoms\, promote healthy living and ensure people are aware of risk factors.  \nOne in ten Americans have diabetes. Another 84 million are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.  However there are small things that those at risk can do to minimise the risk of suffering with type 2.  \nThe national cost of diabetes to the US is $245billion\, and while for many this is a condition that is unavoidable\, if more people acted upon medical advice and were aware of the risk factors\, this cost could be reduced.   \nAs is typical of these campaigns\, every years hosts a different focus area. The theme for 2018 focused on health following gestational diabetes.  The theme for 2019 is not yet confirmed but come back for more information!  \n

SUMMARY:National Brush Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Brush Day is held in the United States on November 1. This observance focuses on raising awareness about the importance of children’s oral health. National Brush Day was first observed in 2013. The date of November 1 was chosen because it is the day after Halloween. On Halloween\, children get many sweet treats during trick-or-treating. Frequent consumption of sugary foods is the number one cause of tooth decay which is one of the most common chronic childhood diseases in the U.S.National Brush Day began as an extension of the Kid’s Healthy Mouths PSA campaign launched by the Partnership for Healthy Mouths\, Health Lives and the Ad Council. The campaign is designed to encourage parents to make sure their children brush their teeth for at least two minutes\, two times a day.Though this task seems easy enough\, many kids refuse to brush their teeth even for two minutes because they get bored quickly. To help parents\, the PSAs provide funny two-minute videos that can distract children while brushing.It is important to keep in mind that good tooth-brushing habits help prevent severe oral pain and many tooth disorders as well as significantly improve children’s dental health. \n

SUMMARY:National Bison Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Bison Day in the United States is celebrated on the first Saturday of November every year. It is dedicated to the historical\, cultural\, ecological and economic contribution of the American bison to the United States. The American bison\, also known as the American buffalo\, is a North American species of bison. Once widely spread throughout North America\, they became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century. Bison were never domesticated by Native Americans\, but today they are viewed as both a type of cattle and wild animals in the United States\, Canada and Mexico.National Bison Day was introduced in 2012. It is actively supported by Native Americans\, conservationists\, bison producers\, educators\, and other people who care about the fate of these large mammals. In 2016\, the celebration of National Bison Day entered a new stage\, as President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law\, officially making the American buffalo the national mammal of the USA. National Bison Day is marked with various events celebrating the bison. Their main goal is to emphasize the importance of the American bison as one of the symbols of the United States\, as well as the contribution of the species to maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability. \n

SUMMARY:Guy Fawkes Night 2019 (Bonfire Night)
DESCRIPTION:Guy Fawkes Night\, also known as Guy Fawkes Day\, Bonfire Night and Firework Night\, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November\, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605\, when Guy Fawkes\, a member of the Gunpowder Plot\, was arrested while guarding explosivesthe plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life\, people lit bonfires around London\, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Actenforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure. \nWithin a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day\, as it was known\, became the predominant English state commemoration\, but as it carried strong Protestant religious overtones it also became a focus for anti-Catholic sentiment. Puritans delivered sermons regarding the perceived dangers of popery\, while during increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figures\, such as the pope. Towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually became known as Guy Fawkes Day. Towns such as Lewes and Guildford were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent class-based confrontations\, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still\, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attitudes resulted in the toning down of much of the day’s anti-Catholic rhetoric\, and the Observance of 5th November Act was repealed in 1859. Eventually the violence was dealt with\, and by the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable social commemoration\, although lacking much of its original focus. The present-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at large organised events\, centred on a bonfire and extravagant firework displays. \n

SUMMARY:National Stress Awareness Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:What is National Stress Awareness Day?\nHeld on Wednesday November 6th. National Stress Awareness Day is run by the International Stress Management Association (ISMA). Their web page on National Stress Awareness Day is available here for more information: https://isma.org.uk/national-stress-awareness-day \nWhat is stress and why is it important? Stress is a response to demands on the body and life\, a response to crisis and fears. If stress gets overwhelming it can cause other mental health problems\, emotional exhaustion and physical illness and can impact on work\, relationships\, families\, and every aspect of life. When someone is suffering from negative or overwhelming stress\, they may not act or react normally in some situations\, for example driving or in an argument\, with disastrous consequences. \nThe aim of the day is to raise awareness\, publicity and profile of stress and its impact\, and reduce stigma while promoting the importance of well-being and stress reduction for individuals and organizations. \nOrganizations are invited to run their own events for the day. \nNational Stress Awareness Day will include a comprehensive programme of events\, including international online seminars\, summits\, interactive chats\,and social media hashtagged events\, as well as venue events. There will be access to expert advice both online and at events. \n

SUMMARY:National Nacho Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:As if we need an excuse to eat more of this culinary delight!  November 6th is (one of our favourites) National Nacho Day! \nIts hard to imagine a world without Nachos but prior to 1943 the crunchy and tasty snacks were non existent.  Thanks to a late night visit to a restaurant in a Mexican border town from a group of soldiers wives and an absent chef\, a worker created the dish by cutting up pieces of tortilla and serving them with cheese- and Nachos Especiales were born! \nPopularity of the dish grew locally\, and eventually the creator established his own restaurant serving different versions of the snack.  The dish became a firm favourite in the 1970’s and 1980’s when they began being served at the Arlington Stadium\, then home to the Texas Rangers.  And the rest is history! \nNacho creator Ignacio Anaya died in 1975\, and a plaque was installed in the town where he had first served them with International Day of the Nacho planned for October 21st.  National Nacho Day takes place in the USA on November 6th. \nSo go on\, treat yourself.  Find some classic recipes on the internet and post photos on social media using #NationalNachosDay \n  \n

SUMMARY:This Is Engineering Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Created by the Royal Academy of Engineering\, a charity that brings together the UK’s best engineers to advance excellence in engineering for the benefit of society\, This Is Engineering Day is a day dedicated to publicly celebrating the engineers and engineering shaping our everyday lives and the world around us. \nThe UK faces a significant skills and diversity shortfall in engineering and technology – the latest figures estimate a shortfall of 59\,000 engineers every year\, and only 12% of professional engineers in the UK are female. And yet\, engineering shapes the world around us – from providing technologies that make our everyday more efficient\, to improving environmental sustainability – and it’s therefore incredibly important that engineers reflect the diversity of the society they serve\, and that we attract more young people to the profession. \nTo address this\, the Academy is running a campaign called This is Engineering that challenges the narrow and outdated stereotype of the engineer and encourages more young people from all backgrounds to consider engineering as a career. \nAs part of this campaign\, This Is Engineering Day 2019 is focused in on showcasing what 21st century engineers and engineering really look like. \nFragrance engineer Olivia\, spacesuit designer Vinita\, workout hacker Charles and power pioneer Enass are just four of the 19 individuals the campaign is profiling to put a face to a profession that is as surprising as it is change-making; it’s why the Academy’s CEO\, Dr Hayaatun Sillem\, is appealing to companies\, organisations and individuals across the UK to join the charity in publicly showcasing – online and offline – their more diverse\, often hidden\, and most definitely surprising face of engineering on the 6th November. \nMedia collateral:\nFresh research to illustrate and explain the issues facing the UK’s engineering profession\nStriking new images both moving and still illustrating engineers and engineering as you’ve never seen them before\nAccess to spokespeople: Dr Hayaatun Sillem\, individual engineers taking part in the campaign\, and senior representations from engineering and technology companies taking part in the campaign. \nYou can get involved in This Is Engineering Day 2019 on Twitter @ThisIsEng or by using the Hashtag #ThisIsEngineering . From November 6 we’ll also be on Instagram @ThisIsEngineering . \n

SUMMARY:International Stout Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:#StoutDay will be celebrated on November 7th.  Just like wine vineyards tell the story of the people\, the weather\, the land and its history\, beer\, too\, tells a story of the land\, of the people and the brewers. Having a day dedicated to a beer style really has just accelerated the excitement in the craft brew circles as more learn about the intrigue regarding its history and the variety that the craft beer industry has to offer. \nThe first stouts were produced in the 1730s. The Russian Imperial Stout was inspired by brewers back in the 1800’s to win over the Russian Czar. “Imperial porter” came before “imperial stout” and the earliest noted use of “Imperial” to describe a beer comes from the Caledonian Mercury of February 1821\, when a coffeehouse in Edinburgh was advertising “Edinburgh Ales\, London Double Brown Stout and Imperial Porter\, well worth the attention of Families”. \nGuinness had been brewing porters since about 1780 and is famous for their Dry or Irish Stout. Oatmeal stout beer is one of the more sweeter and smoother of the stouts. And for proof that we live in an evolving society\, there’s Oyster Stout and Chocolate Stout.

SUMMARY:World Freedom Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Freedom Day is an annual observance in the United States first declared in 2001 by President George W. Bush. \nIt is celebrated on November 9\, which marks the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was a barrier that was erected in Berlin in 1961 during the Cold War. It divided the city into two parts. East Berlin was de facto capital of East Germany (German Democratic Republic). It was a Soviet-occupied sector of Berlin. West Berlin was a free city politically closely affiliated with West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany). \nWest Berlin was an Allied-occupied territory surrounded by East Germany.The wall prevented immigration of East Berliners to West Berlin and Western Europe in general. Between 1961 to 1989\, around 5\,000 people successfully escaped over the Berlin Wall. Estimated number of people who died trying to escape has been disputed. The official death toll is 136 deaths. \nOn November 9\, 1989 the East German government announced that East Germans could visit West Berlin and West Germany. Thus the fall of the wall began. People started demolishing the wall\, chipping away its parts as souvenirs.World Freedom Day is commemorated mainly by conservative youth groups and activists who perceive it as celebration of the victory over communism. \n

SUMMARY:United States Marine Corps Birthday 2019
DESCRIPTION:The United States Marine Corps Birthday is an annual celebration observed on November 10.  The US Marine Corps are one of the four armed service branches in the US Department of Defense.  The Marines are responsible for conducting expeditionary and amphibious operations with the United States Navy as well as the Army and Air Force \nOn this day\, a traditional ball and cake-cutting ceremony is held. \nThe  history around the day of celebration is based upon the events surrounding the establishment of the original Marine Corps.  On November 10\, 1775 the Second Continental Congress issued the decree that established the Continental Marines. However\, the Continental Marines were disestablished when the American Revolutionary War ended in 1783. \nThe Marine Corps was re-established by President John Adams on July 11\, 1798.  The official birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps was originally celebrated on July 11 with little pageantry or pomp. In 1921\, it was suggested that the original birthday of November 10 should be declared the official holiday of the Marine Corps.The first formal ball was held on November 10\, 1925. Prior to 1952\, celebrations took varied forms. They included dances\, musical performances\, sporting events\, and mock battles. In 1952\, the celebrations were formalized and standardized.  The cake cutting ceremony has been performed since 1956. Traditionally\, the first slice of cake is handed to the oldest Marine present\, who passes it to the youngest Marine present. The celebration often includes readings\, a banquet\, dancing\, a pageant of uniforms\, and a unit run. \n

SUMMARY:Veterans Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Observed annually on November the 11th this day is recognised across the world and is of significant importance to many.  Also known as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day in recognition of the end of World War 1\,  in the USA the day is used to celebrate military veterans who are or who have served in the Armed Forces. \nArmistice Day was first recognised the year after the end of World Way 1 in 1919 by Woodrow Wilson\, and the name changed to Veterans Day after World War II and the Korean War.  The day was filled with Parades\, memorials and most importantly a pause in business\, schools and daily life at 11am as a mark of respect and moment of reflection. \nIn 1938\, following the lead of many states in the US\, an Act approved in law made 11th November a Federal holiday ‘dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day’.  In 1954 the name was changed to Veterans Day following the lobbying of congress.  At one point the date was changed to October\, however most people ignored this and continued to celebrate Veterans on November 11th and therefore subsequently the date was changed back to November 11th. \nVeterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day -Veterans Day celebrates all those present and past who have served in the Armed Forces with emphasis on thanking those who are still with us\, whereas Memorial Day recognises those who died in service or as a result of their injuries in conflicts. \nA long standing recognised tradition within the US is the laying of a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier in Arlington National Cemetry. \nThere are many ways to get involved and say thank you to Veterans. Many involve raising funds\, parades\, community and church services.  Emphasis is placed more recently on engaging with ex servicemen and women to ensure they have employment\, a home and any support they need.  There are many programmes across the country to become involved with and this seems to us to be the most perfect way to show support and gratitude. \n“Better than honor and glory\, and History’s iron pen\,\nWas the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.”  Richard Watson Gilder \n

SUMMARY:Blue Wednesday 2019
DESCRIPTION:I’m sure we all know about blue Mondays. Those Monday morning blues after the weekend never quite seem to leave you. \nFor most mouth cancer patients\, their cancer blues will almost never leave them. There will always be a reminder of what they went through every day. Whether it’s their speech\, their ability to eat and drink\, or even just the ability to breathe properly\, there is no getting away from it. \nFor this year’s Mouth Cancer Action Month\, we’re asking everyone to show their support by making Wednesday 13 November ‘Blue Wednesday’. \nYou can buy a blue ribbon badge\, pick out something blue to wear or don on a bright blue lipstick. Help us to raise awareness of mouth cancer by showing your support. \nHow to take part in Blue Wednesday\nFind something blue\nChances are you will have something blue in your wardrobe\, but we’d like you to be more creative than that! Why not find something from a charity shop that raises money for cancer? You will be helping two great causes that way! To complete the look visit our web shop to get your hands on some blue lipstick too – even the boys – as it’s all for a good cause. \nBlue wigs\, face and body paint and other decorations are also really popular on Blue Wednesday\, as are our blue ribbon badges. Give them a go! \nDon’t go it alone\nWhatever your involvement\, find a group of friends or persuade your work colleagues to do the same. The more people we can get involved for Blue Wednesday the greater chance we have to make an impact. \nSend around an invitation for them to join you on 13 November for Blue Wednesday. You could even do it alongside a fundraising event for Mouth Cancer Action Month\, and remember to take plenty of pictures! \nShare your success\nThe best way to drum up lots of support for our cause and spread valuable messages around mouth cancer is to share your pictures on social media. \nShow your followers what you are doing for Blue Wednesday by posting your pictures with #BlueWednesday. \nDon’t forget to include some information about mouth cancer alongside your picture. \nEvents such as Blue Wednesday are crucial if we are to catch more cases early. By making more people alert to the major signs\, symptoms and causes of this terrible disease we can dramatically increase the number of people who are able to beat mouth cancer. \n

SUMMARY:World Diabetes Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Diabetes Day falls on Wednesday 14th November. The purpose of this one day is to raise awareness of a condition that millions of people all around the world live with every day. \nEssentially\, diabetes is about the body’s ability (or lack of it) to produce the required amount of a hormone called insulin to control glucose levels in the blood. There are broadly two types of diabetes: Type 1 requires daily administration of artificial insulin by means of injection or insulin pump. Type 2 is more generally managed by a combination of dietary control and medication in the form of tablets. \nIt’s very important that people with diabetes maintain good control of their condition to help reduce and avoid long term complications\, and there have been huge advances in this area over recent years. However\, it is vitally important that development work continues\, to ensure people with the condition can live as normal a life as possible. \nThe International Diabetes Federation (IDF) will be involved in coordinating activities on the day\, so keep an eye out for an event near you! Any help or support you can give this cause will be greatly appreciated by everyone concerned. Make a note – 14th November is World Diabetes Day! \n

SUMMARY:The Great American Smokeout 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Great American Smokeout is an annual event sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS). It is held on the third Thursday of November. This social engineering event focuses on encouraging Americans to quit tobacco smoking. People are challenged to stop smoking for at least 24 hours assuming that their decision not to smoke will last longer\, hopefully forever. Today\, more than 43 million people in the United States smoke cigarettes\, that is about 1 in 5 adults.The Great American Smokeout evolved from a number of smaller-scale events that took place in the 1970s. The first Great American Smokeout occurred in California on November 18\, 1976. According to the California division of the ACS\, nearly 1 million people stopped smoking cigarettes that day. In 1977\, the event was taken nationwide.Different people quit smoking in different ways. There are those who quit abruptly and completely and those who cut back gradually. Some people need substitutions and distractions to suppress cravings and others need special medicines. No matter which approach you choose\, the Great American Smokeout is the perfect occasion to make the first step. Of course\, if you have already decided to quite smoking\, you don’t have to wait till November. \n

SUMMARY:National HIV Testing Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:About National HIV Testing Week\nNational HIV Testing Week (NHTW) is our flagship annual event which seeks to promote regular testing among key populations. It aims to reduce the numbers of undiagnosed people and those diagnosed late. It is held every November ahead of World AIDS Day. \nIn the UK\, the combination prevention approach to HIV has led to a substantial decline in HIV diagnoses for the first time. \nHowever\, the work must not stop here. There was a small increase in late diagnoses between 2015 (39%) and 2017 (43%)\, which means testing is still as important as ever. \nNHTW 2018 utilised the successful ‘Give HIV the finger’ creative\, building on the existing recognition of the previous year’s campaign. The key messages promoted the ease\, convenience and accessibility of HIV testing. Targeted social media advertising and outdoor promotion in high prevalence areas helped to promote the campaign. In addition\, more than 1\,300 press articles were generated. \nWe made free resources available to anyone working in HIV prevention in England which bolstered local activity and advertised additional HIV testing events or signposted people to services. \nStakeholders were asked to evaluate the campaign following the event: \n\n98% of respondents will support NHTW 2019\n98% agree NHTW is a valuable addition to their HIV prevention efforts\n70% agree NHTW increased their organisation’s capacity to impact their community/clients\n56% provided extra HIV testing opportunities for their communities.\n\nGetting involved\nWe encourage stakeholders to do whatever is best for their local area and community including: \n\nOrdering NHTW branded posters and resources for their services.\nOrganising additional local testing events in clinic and as part of outreach in community settings.\nRegistering testing events scheduled during the month of November through our online ‘test finder’ tool. These events are then promoted to people at high risk via online promotion of the It Starts With Me ‘where to test’ tool.\n\n

SUMMARY:World Toilet Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Were you aware of the fact that around 1 out of every 3 people goes without a toilet? It might sound like a strange fact; however\, it is a serious problem. \nThat’s why on November 19\, people like WaterAid and UnWater are trying their very best to change this situation and aim to have a clean\, safe and private toilet to everyone one\, everywhere by 2030. \nHow will this be achieved?\nWell\, a topic like this can be quite difficult to push through to the world\, much like a big number two! That’s why humour and comedy are being used to break down the awkwardness and get the movement flowing! \nIf you are a school student in the UK\, you are encouraged to start writing your own riddles\, puns\, jokes or even comedy shows and sketches to get the word out there about World Toilet Day. \nOnce you’ve given that a go\, try raising the issue with one of your local MPs\, get them involved with the campaign by tweeting your own well written jokes with hashtags #WorldToiletDay and #ItsNoJoke. \nIf you’re a teacher\, you can always find a lesson plan and some resources to support and give a number 1 lesson on taps and toilets. \nIn all seriousness\, if we can reduce human waste by giving everyone access to clean toilets\, we can then also make the world a better place. \nLet’s go help those in need with World Toilet Day. \n

SUMMARY:Transgender Day of Rembrance 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Transgender Day of Remembrance or International Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day that is held annually on the 20th November to memorialise those individuals who have been murdered as a result of transphobia.  It also aims to draw attention to the violence that is carried out towards many in the transgender community. \nThe Transgender Day of Remembrance was established in 1999 when transgender advocate Gwendolyn Anne Smith arranged a vigil as a memorial to transgender woman Rita Hester killed in 1998.  Initially a small local event it has grown to be an internationally recognised annual event\, with events held in 185 cities across 20 countries. \nNow supported and promoted by GLAAD\, the awareness campaign receives much media coverage and support from transgender advocates.  With candlelit vigils held where the names of those who have lost their lives are read out\, and marches taking place in communities across the world along with many other events\, there is plenty to get involved with.  This is an opportunity to remember those we have lost in such horrific circumstances\, come together to overcome divisions in our community\, heal and grieve with other people affected by this terrible issue and attempt to find a way to educate those who are transphobic. \nVisit the GLAAD website where there is ideas for arranging your own awareness event\, along with many more statistics\, information and information about Transgender Awareness Week. \n

SUMMARY:National Adoption Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Adoption Day is observed annually on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. \nThis event is focused on raising awareness of children in foster care waiting to be adopted. The first National Adoption Day was held in 2000 by a coalition of national partners which included Children’s Action Network\, The Alliance for Children’s Rights\, Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and Freddie Mac Foundation. In 2002\, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute and Casey Family Services joined the coalition.The National Adoption Day sponsors co-operate with states foster care agencies\, child advocates\, law firms\, and courts to complete the adoptions of children in foster care. Since the inception of National Adoption Day\, more than 54\,000 children were moved from foster care to forever families. In 2014\, more than 400 cities across the United States\, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico held events to finalize the adoptions and celebrate the families who adopt.In the United States\, there are more than 100\,000 children in foster care. California and New York have the largest population of foster care children. A foster child usually has to wait nearly 4 years to be adopted\, but more than 20\,000 kids age out of the foster care system at age 18 every year without either forever family or permanent home. The aim of National Adoption Day is to provide forever families to as many children as possible. \n

SUMMARY:National Tortilla Chips Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:February 24 is National Tortilla Chips Day. It’s a good opportunity to celebrate tortilla chips\, that go well with everything. By the way\, we mean everything. \nTortilla chips in Mexico are called tostados\, that stands for toasted chips. Outside of the North America tortilla chips are called corn chips. \nA tortilla is an unleavened flatbread or pancake made either of corn or wheat flour\, water\, vegetable shortening and a little salt. They are the plate\, envelope or folder surrounding an array of delicious fillings. \nThe word “tortilla” comes from the Spanish word “torta” which means “round cake.” According to Mayan legend\, tortillas were invented by a peasant for his hungry king in ancient times. Corn tortillas date back around 10\,000 years before Christ and were made of native corn with dried kernel. When the Spanish brought wheat to the New World\, flour tortillas were created. \nAlthough around a long\, long time\, we have to credit Rebecca Webb Carranza as the inventor of mass produced tortilla chips. She and her husband owned the El Zarape Tortilla Factory in Los Angeles and were among the first to automate the produce of tortillas in 1940s. The machine that was producing tortillas often misshapen the product. Instead of throwing away these tortillas Rebecca decided to cut them into triangles and fry. She sold them for a dime a bag. \nBelieve it or not\, but tortilla chips became a nationwide sensation and they were served alongside chili\, salsa\, guacamole and a variety of different appetizers. We still do the same today. \nGrab a bag of your favorite tortilla chips and serve them with any dipping or make nachos to celebrate National Tortilla Chips Day with your family or friends. \n

SUMMARY:16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence 2019
DESCRIPTION:16 DAYS OF ACTION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE\n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence is aimed at businesses to support them to take action against domestic abuse and violence.  Employers have a legal obligation to assess dynamic risk and support the health and safety and wellness of their employees. Companies can do more to aid their employees who endure domestic violence\, to train those who witness it\, and to protect staff as a whole\, with the goal of securing safety and mitigating financial loss. Spanning across 16 days from 25th November to 10th December\, a theme will be identified each day to explore the various forms of domestic violence. In doing so\, the workplace will be better equipped to acknowledge the signs that indicate it may be going on. \nHISTORY\n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence stems from the original movement\, 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. The movement was first begun at the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991\, an event sponsored by the Centre for Women’s Global Leadership. \nSince 1991\, 5\,167 groups in 187 countries have contributed to promoting and supporting these 16 Days. Large organisations such as the world-renowned Amnesty International and World Health Organisation support and celebrate the 16 Days\, as well as far more local\, grassroots projects. \nEach organisation approaches the 16 Days differently\, some\, such as the World Health Organisation\, promote 16 facts regarding domestic violence in order to educate the public on an under-reported and misunderstood violation of human rights. \nSchools around the world have dedicated time and manpower to this movement as well\, as demonstrated by institutions such as Rutgers\, who have been extremely active and outspoken\, generating their own toolkit on how to approach domestic violence\, and much more. \nPublic sector work by the above organisations\, and hundreds of others are exemplary and indicate that people are dedicated to making the general public understand the impact of domestic violence on society\, through blogging\, community projects\, tweeting\, and putting on exhibitions. \n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence has taken the model of the original movement\, and tailored it to businesses and has centred on the impact that domestic violence has on the workplace. The movement was not initiated by the Corporate Alliance\, rather it has built upon over two decades of fantastic work to focus on the workplace\, and eradicating the impact of abuse on business. \n

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving 2019
DESCRIPTION:Thanksgiving 2018 is observed on November 28th and we all know what it is right? \nJust in case you don’t\, here is some information about it! \nThanksgiving in the USA can be dated back as far as 1621 ( some will say earlier) when a group of pilgrims shared a feast with Native Americans by way of celebrating what had been a fruitful harvest.  The previous years harvest had been a disaster with many of the pilgrims starving to death.  The members of the Native American tribe kindly demonstrated to the remaining pilgrims how to tend the land to ensure crops would grow\, catch fish and generally become self sufficient.  From this\, the first Thanksgiving was born. \nWith roots in religious and cultural traditions\, the day is also classed as a secular occasion and is an opportunity to give thanks for what you have.  It is usually seen as the start of the festive season with celebrations often grand and prolonged\, with many celebrating Thanksgiving more so than Christmas.    Many take the opportunity to get together with friends and family with many family and historical traditions observed; from parades\, turkeys cooked\, turkeys pardoned\, pumpkin pie and a days or two holiday- whats not to love? \nHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours! \n

SUMMARY:Black Friday 2019
DESCRIPTION:Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday of November). Since 1952\, it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.\, and most major retailers open very early (and more recently during overnight hours) and offer promotional sales. \nOver the past few years Black Friday has become a household shopping event in the UK\, consistently out-performing Boxing Day as retailers lure in shoppers prepping for Christmas. \nTraditionally the event has been a chance for shoppers to snap up cut-price tech and electrical goods\, ranging from games consoles to kitchen appliances\, but now we’re seeing as impressive discounts across fashion\, beauty and even travel. \nIt has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005\, although news reports\, which at that time were inaccurate\, have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of time. \nSimilar stories resurface year upon year at this time\, portraying hysteria and shortage of stock\, creating a state of positive feedback. \n

SUMMARY:Tree Dressing Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTree dressing\, in the first week of December\, is based on many old customs from all over the world and at different times of the year. \nTree Dressing Day falls on the first weekend of December. It was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has grown to become much more than an expression of a love for trees. It is a chance for the whole community to gather and celebrate the leafy friends we all have in common. It’s also a chance for communities to reflect on the social and cultural history of their local area\, and the role trees have played in shaping this story. \nTrees have long been celebrated for their spiritual significance. The simplicity of tying strips of cloth or yarn to a tree is universal and timeless. The old Celtic custom of tying cloth dipped in water from a holy well to a ‘clootie tree’ echoes the practice in Japan of decorating trees with strips of white paper\, or tanzaku\, bearing wishes and poems. The twenty-first century trend of ‘yarn bombing’ in Europe and North America transforms the local landscape with bright fabrics and yarns\, like the Buddhist tradition of tying ribbons around the trunk of the Bodhi tree in homage to Buddha\, or the annual Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan when coloured strings are tied onto trees and plants to call upon the power of nature to protect loved ones. \nThese deep and diverse cultural associations provide a rich basis for tree festivities across the world. The act of dressing a tree binds us to it and celebrates the unique role that trees have in our local neighbourhoods. \nTree dressing is a powerful way of expressing our relationship with trees. Organising a Tree Dressing Day in your community is a wonderful way of saying ‘thank you’ to the trees where you live. It is also the ideal moment to share tree stories with friends\, neighbours and colleagues. This year – and every year – join the many thousands of people across the UK who celebrate Tree Dressing Day and make sure your community’s voice is heard by saying thank you to the trees in your neighbourhood. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Eat a Red Apple Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Another day for the foodies!  In fact this day should be acknowledged by all!  The Eat a Red Apple Day is observed on December 1. \nIt is a perfect occasion to remind yourself that there are healthy snacks that are also tasty. Everyone has heard of the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”  and there are two trains of thought about how the saying became so well known.  The first theory is that the phrase is believed to have been coined by professor J. T. Stinson. He was a notable fruit specialist and the first director of the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station. Stinson said this phrase at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair to promote apples as a healthy snack.  The second theory claims that this proverb was coined by Caroline Taggart from Pembrokeshire\, Wales. The proverb was more recently developed into a marketing slogan by American apple growers. \nHowever is actually\, it doesn’t matter who coined the proverb .  What does matter is the health benefits of apples.   Apples contain significant dietary fibre\, vitamin C\, calcium\, iron\, manganese\, magnesium\, potassium\, phosphorus\, sodium\, and zinc. Eating apples can help you boost your immune system. \nApples are cultivated all over the world\, but America became one of the biggest growers of apples in the 1800’s after the travels of Johnny Appleseed.  Real name Johnny Chapman\, he became well  known nurseryman who introduced apple growing in many states across the US.  Because of his missionary work and his knowledge sharing of apples and subsequent introduction of apple cultivation he became an American Legend. \nSome of the well-known of red apple varieties are Red Delicious\, Gala\, Ambrosia\, Ida Red\, Macoun\, Winesap. \nGet involved with this day of celebration by encouraging your friends and family to buy or pick some red apples and remind yourselves just how delicious they are! You could always really indulge and make an apple pie! \n

SUMMARY:Safe Toys & Gifts Month 2019
DESCRIPTION:With the festive season in full swing\, gifts and particularly childrens gifts are being swapped across the nation in earnest.  Although we are pretty sure that Santa ensures all presents he delivers are rigorously safety tested and appropriate for use\, we all need to make sure we deliver gifts to the same high standards. \nSadly thousands of children are injured every year as a result of playing with unsafe or non age appropriate toys.  The United States Comsumer Product Safety Commision has created a robust toy safety system\, by requiring testing by independent\, third party testing laboratories around the world; enforcing stringent lead and phthalates limits for toys; imposing some of the most stringent toy standards in the world; and stopping violative and dangerous toys at the ports and in the marketplace before they reach children’s hands.  While the work that is undertaken by the CPSC goes a long way in protecting our young people (and adults) there are still many toy related injuries that take place- in 2010 251\,7000 toy related accidents were reported in hospital emergency rooms across the US. \nObviously accidents will always happen\, but with Prevent Blindness America declaring December Safe Toys & Gifts Month this is the perfect opportunity to re-cap on some basic safety advice and brush up on your knowledge about buying safe\, appropriate toys and what to do should you discover a potential hazard. \nWith lots of tips and advice available on a number of forums this is campaign that we should find out more about. \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2019
DESCRIPTION:The estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide face many barriers to inclusion in many key aspects of society. As a result\, people with disabilities do not enjoy access to society on an equal basis with others\, which includes areas of transportation\, employment\, and education as well as social and political participation. \nThe right to participate in public life is essential to create stable democracies\, active citizenship and reduce inequalities in society. \nInternational Day of Persons with Disabilities falls on the 3rd of December each year\, with the aim of promoting empowerment\, and helping to create real opportunities for people with disabilities. This enhances their own capacities and supports them in setting their own priorities. Empowerment involves investing in people – in jobs\, health\, nutrition\, education\, and social protection. When people are empowered they are better prepared to take advantage of opportunities\, they become agents of change and can more readily embrace their civic responsibilities. \n

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:World Soil Day 2019 is on December 5th\, this annual awareness day run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\, is usually held on the same date every year. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of soil quality for human well-being\, food security and ecosystems\, and events are held at the UN FAO offices and through community based events. The day was first considered by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002\, but was not officially endorsed by FAO until 2013. \nSoil is the top layer of the earth\, the layer which everyone is familiar with\, but not everyone knows much about\, many householders don’t even know if their garden is clay\, loam or sandy soil or a mixture\, but the knowledge of soil type\, structure\, management and condition is what can make the difference between good plant growth and a thriving ecosystem and a wasteland. \nSoil is made up of organic and inorganic matter\, air and water\, and the mixture depends on the way the soil is managed or neglected\, which in turn impacts on how plants grow. The human race is dependent on soil for food\, and soil erosion and poison leads to famine\, soil also holds significant carbon\, which is lost through erosion\, which increases climate change. \nWe all depend on soil\, so the more that that is understood of it\, the better the human race thrives\, from beautiful gardens to crops that produce our food\, an example is where programmes in Africa have taught small farmers to manage soil against drought and erosion\, meaning bigger and better crops and less hunger and poverty in some areas. \nMembers of the public can liaise with FAO to run soil themed events for World Soil Day\, educating people on soil and the significance of soil and it’s treatment. \n

SUMMARY:International Volunteers Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:International Volunteer Day (IVD) on 5 December was designated by the United Nations in 1985 as an international observance day to celebrate the power and potential of volunteerism. \nIt is an opportunity for volunteers\, and volunteer organisations\, to raise awareness of\, and gain understanding for\, the contribution they make to their communities. It is also viewed as a unique chance for volunteers and organisations to celebrate their efforts\, to share their values\, and to promote their work among their communities\, non-governmental organisations (NG0’s)\, United Nations agencies\, government authorities and the private sector. \nThe act of volunteering is found in all cultures\, languages\, and religions.

SUMMARY:International Civil Aviation Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:International Civil Aviation Day 2018 is a United Nations (UN) annual observation day\, officially declared by the UN in 1996 and celebrated on December 7th each year by all member states of the UN. \nThe day has been celebrated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (a UN body) since 1994\, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (ICAO)\, which was established in 1944 to establish co-operation and uniformity in aviation internationally. \nThe day is held to recognise the social\, economic and developmental benefits of aviation and international air travel as well as commemorating the ICAO’s role in safety\, efficiency and uniformity in global aviation. \nThe day is celebrated with educational events\, aviation themed lectures and classroom events\, and press and media releases.

SUMMARY:National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day is an annual national observance in the United States. It is observed on December 7 to honor the victims of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. \nOn December 7\, 1941 aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor\, Hawaii. Almost 2\,500 military personnel were killed and more than 1\,100 others were injured. Two U. S. Navy battleships were sunk. Five battleships\, three destroyers\, three cruisers\, and one minelayer were destroyed. \nSeveral hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor Canada became the first Western nation to declare war on Japan. On December 8\, the United States followed the example of Canada and entered the Second World War. \nNational Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day was declared in 1944 by the United States Congress. It is not a federal holiday therefore schools\, government offices and businesses don’t close but may organisations recognise the historical day and mark the occasion. The Flag of the U. S. is traditionally flown at half-mast in honor of those killed or injured during the attack. Special events are held in memory of patriots.   Several memorials have been established to honor those who were killed or injured during the attack. They include the USS Arizona and the USS Utah memorials in Pearl Harbor. \nTake some time today to remember those who lost their lives and the impact that the attack had on the history of our great nation. \n

SUMMARY:National Cotton Candy Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Because there obviously arent already enough reasons to celebrate in December\, today the 7th December we recognise National Cotton Candy Day! \nCotton candy was first created in Europe in the 18th century. At that time\, it was very expensive because spun sugar had to be made manually. Ironically the dentist William Morrisson and confectioner John C. Wharton invented machine-spun cotton candy in 1897 thus making this confection generally available. \nCotton candy\, also known as candy floss or fairy floss\, is a confection that is almost 100 percent sugar. Cotton candy is made by heating sugar to liquify it and then spinning the sugar our through tiny holes. The sugar re-solidifies in thin strands which remind of glass. The final cotton candy is very light because it contains mostly air. .Cotton candy is a treat typically served at fairs\, carnivals and fairs where it is sold in plastic bags or on a stick.   The natural color of cotton candy is white\, but it can be changed with the help of food coloring. Cotton candy can also be flavored. The largest manufacturer of cotton candy in the United States is Tootsie Roll Industries. \nTo celebrate the National Cotton Candy Day\, treat yourself to some cotton candy. Just don’t go overboard and end up with a sugar rush! \n

SUMMARY:International Anti Corruption Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Corruption is a complex social\, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions\, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability. \nCorruption attacks the foundation of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes\, perverting the rule of law and creating bureaucratic quagmires whose only reason for existing is the soliciting of bribes. Economic development is stunted because foreign direct investment is discouraged and small businesses within the country often find it impossible to overcome the “start-up costs” required because of corruption. \nOn 31 October 2003\, the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against Corruption and requested that the Secretary-General designate the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) as secretariat for the Convention’s Conference of States Parties (resolution 58/4). \nThe Assembly also designated 9 December as International Anti-Corruption Day\, to raise awareness of corruption and of the role of the Convention in combating and preventing it.  The Convention entered into force in December 2005. \nGovernments\, the private sector\, non-governmental organizations\, the media and citizens around the world are joining forces to fight this crime. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) are at the forefront of these efforts. \n

SUMMARY:Human Rights Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Human Rights Day commemorates the day the General Assembly of the UN adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The UDHR is one of UN’s major achievements as well as the first enunciation of human rights across the world. \nAdopted on 10th December 1948\, the Declaration stipulates universal values and a shared standard of achievement for everyone in every country. While the Declaration is not a binding document\, it inspired over 60 human rights instruments that today make a common standard of human rights. It is the most translated document around the globe – available in over 500 languages. \nThe 2018 commemoration of Human Rights Day will mark the beginning of a year-long celebration of 70 years since the international community adopted the Declaration. We celebrate all our inalienable rights and freedoms including a right to education\, a decent living\, health care and a right to live free from any form of discrimination among others. \nDespite the efforts to protect human rights\, the hostility toward human rights and those who defend them continues to rise. As a result\, this year’s Human Rights Day advocates for everyone to stand up for their rights and those of others – civil\, economic\, political and cultural rights. Additionally\, the day aims to enlighten us about how our rights are a foundation of sustainable development and peaceful societies. The day also acknowledges the advocates and defenders of human rights around the world. \n

SUMMARY:National Lager Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Lager Day is observed on December 10 annually. \nObviously we advise responsible drinking\, but today is the perfect excuse to go out to a pub and enjoy a glass or two of beer or buy yourself a couple of your favourite bottles and enjoy in the comfort of your own home! \nThe background to the day is relatively unknown but breweries and lager lovers alike relish the national observance! \nLager is one of the two main types of beer\, ale being the other one. The difference between lager and ale is that lager is fermented and conditioned at low temperatures while ale is brewed using a warm fermentation. Pale lager is the most widely consumed style of beer in the world. \nIn the beginning\, warm fermentation was the only known method of making beer therefore all beers were ales. Cold fermented beers first appeared in Bavaria in the 16th century. Lager brewing was brought to America from Europe circa 1840.   Pale lager is the most popular type of lager but it is not the only kind with dark lagers becoming more well known and popular in recent times. \nOn the National Lager Day\, many breweries and pubs host various events such as beer tastings and brewery tours.  Whilst we encourage participation in this event\, we must remind you to drink responsibly!  You will thank us for reminding you not to go overboard on the lager consumption! \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Neutrality 2019
DESCRIPTION:Neutrality — defined as the legal status arising from the abstention of a state from all participation in a war between other states\, the maintenance of an attitude of impartiality toward the belligerents\, and the recognition by the belligerents of this abstention and impartiality — is critically important for the United Nations to gain and maintain the confidence and cooperation of all in order to operate independently and effectively\, especially in situations that are politically charged. \nAs Article 2 of the UN charter obligates member states to settle their international disputes by peaceful means and to refrain from the threat or the use of force in their relations\, the General Assembly reaffirmed those obligations in its resolution 71/275. \nThe resolution also underlined that some states’ national policies of neutrality can contribute to the strengthening of international peace and security and play an important role in developing mutually beneficial relations among countries of the world. \nRecognizing that such national policies of neutrality are aimed at promoting the use of preventive diplomacy\, which is a core function of the United Nations and occupies a central place among the functions of the Secretary-General\, the General Assembly decided to declare 12 December the International Day of Neutrality\, and called for marking the day by holding events aimed at enhancing public awareness of the value of neutrality in international relations. \n

SUMMARY:National Maple Syrup Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Stop what you are doing right now and put down your breakfast cereals!  Today\, December 17th  is National Maple Syrup Day…so make sure you start the day with some delicious pankcakes smothered in the stuff! \nMaple syrup is a distinctly North American product therefore it quite rightly deserves its own day of recognition! \nMaple syrup is made from the xylem sap of one of the three maple tree varieties: sugar maple\, black maple\, or red maple. It was first collected by the indigenous people of the northeastern part of North America. The technique used to extract the sap from the trees is knows as Maple Tapping and is traditionally done by inserting a spile into the trunk of a maple tree with a minimum age of 40 years and collecting the extract in a container. \nEuropean settlers adopted this practice. In the 1970s the maple syrup production increased due to technological improvements that refined production methods. The largest producer of maple syrup is the Canadian province of Quebec. The provinces of Nova Scotia\, Prince Edward Island\, New Brunswick\, and Ontario also produce syrup. The largest producer in the United States is Vermont. Marketable quantities of syrup are also produced by New York\, Maine\, Ohio\, Wisconsin\, and some other states. \nAs we are all very aware\, maple syrup is praised for its unique flavor. It is widely used in cooking as a flavoring agent\, a sweetener\, a topping\, and an ingredient in baking. To celebrate the National Maple Syrup Day\, cook waffles\, pancakes\, crepes\, or French toast for breakfast and top then with delicious maple syrup. We are sure you don’t need ANY encouragement to participate in this national day of celebration! \n

SUMMARY:Wright Brothers Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:On the morning of December 17th\, 1903 in Kitty Hawk\, North Carolina\, brothers Wilbur & Orville Wright successfully flew Wright Flyer I\, the heavier than air powered aircraft through the skies on a 12 second flight marking the first ever event of its kind and thus creating a momentous historical occasion.  As a result albeit many years later  in 1959\, President D Eisenhower established December 17th as Wright Brothers Day.   \nThe Wright brothers became interested in flying in early childhood\, when their father bought them a toy helicopter. They liked the toy so much that when it broke\, they built their own. After many years of interest\, in the late 19th century they came up with the idea of three-axis control which made it possible for the pilot to maintain the aircraft’s equilibrium and to steer it effectively.  Orville and Wilbur Wright used this principle to design and build a series of manned gliders. Their experience testing gliders helped them create the Flyer (which is now referred to as the Wright Flyer\, Flyer I or 1903 Flyer). It was made from spruce\, a strong and lightweight wood.They made their first attempt at powered flight on December 14\, 1903\, but it was unsuccessful. Repairs took three days. On December 17\, the brothers made another attempt with Orville piloting the Flyer. The brothers made another three flights that day\, taking turns. \nTheir success is an important milestone in the development of aeronautics\, and is therefore no surprise its anniversary is celebrated as a national observance. \n

SUMMARY:Pan American Aviation Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:Pan American Aviation Day is an annual national observance in the United States. It is observed on December 17 and falls on the same day as Brothers Wright Day\, which is not surprising as both observances commemorate the same event. On December 17\, 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright accomplished the first successful flight of a mechanically propelled heavier-than-air craft near Kitty Hawk\, North Carolina. This event is considered to be a pivotal milestone in the development of aeronautics which led to breakthrough developments.Pan American Aviation Day was declared by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was first observed in 1940 and has been proclaimed every year since then. This observance focuses on stimulating interest in aviation in the American countries. Its ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of more rapid communications and cultural ties between the countries in the Western hemisphere.Pan American Aviation Day is not a public holiday therefore government offices\, educational establishments\, and businesses do not close on this day. However\, schools often organize trips to aviation centers or museums and classroom activities devoted to the history of aviation. \n

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:“On this International Migrants Day\, I call on the international community to act on the global compact on safe\, regular and orderly migration as an important contribution to building a world of peace\, prosperity\, dignity and opportunity for all.” — UN Secretary-General\, Ban Ki-moon \nInternational Migrants Day\nThe total number of international migrants has increased from an estimated 175 million in 2000 to 244 million persons in 2015. Nearly two thirds of all international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million). Migration is now more widely distributed across more countries. Today the top 10 countries of destination receive a smaller share of all migrants than in 2000. \nOne of every ten migrants is under the age of 15.  The impact of remittance flows is also significant having reached $436 billion in 2014 – far exceeding official development assistance and\, excluding China\, foreign direct investment. \n\n Throughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \n\nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities. \nOn September 19\, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever summit on large movements of refugees and migrants to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration). The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move. It paves the way for the adoption of two new global compacts in 2018: the global compact on refugees and the global compact for safe\, orderly and regular migration. \n

SUMMARY:National Roast Suckling Pig Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:The National Roast Suckling Pig Day is a food-related observance recognised on December 18. \nIt is a perfect occasion to cook a fancy meal for your family or friends. A suckling pig is a piglet not yet weaned from its mother.   In culinary contexts\, it is a piglet slaughtered between the ages of 2 and 6 weeks. Its meat is tender and pale with an unusual texture therefore it is considered a delicacy. A suckling pig is traditionally roasted whole until its skin is crisp. It is typically prepared for special occasions. \nThere are many recipes for roast suckling pig in both Western and Eastern cuisine. In some European countries\, it is a traditional Christmas dish. In Asia\, it is often cooked for weddings and other important events. A roasted pig is often depicted as the centerpiece of a massive feast. It is enough to feed an entire group of people.  A roasted suckling pig is not a quick and easy dish to cook. Therefore we think that the best way to celebrate the National Roast Suckling Pig Day is to go out at a restaurant and treat yourself to a fancy dinner. But if you have enough time and the weather allows\, you can organize a barbecue for your family and friends. \nHowever you decide to mark the occasion\, enjoy! \n

SUMMARY:Kwanzaa 2019
DESCRIPTION:Created by Dr. Maulana Karenga\, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University\, Long Beach in 1966\, Kwanzaa is an annual week-long celebration that is observed from December 26 to January 1. \nFollowing the Watts Riots that took place in LA Dr Karenga was keen to create an event that would unite African-Americans.   He wanted African-Americans to have an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history instead of imitation of participation of the dominant society. He founded US\, a cultural organization\, and started to research African “first fruit” (harvest) celebrations. Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations\, such as those of the Ashanti and those of the Zulu\, to form the basis of Kwanzaa. \nThis celebration is based around  seven major principles which are\, according to Karenga\, a communitarian African philosophy: unity\, self-determination\, collective work and responsibility\, cooperative economics\, purpose\, creativity and faith. On each of the seven nights of the week long celebration\, families gather together and light one of the seven candles of the Kinara.  Usually a discussion about the one specific principles takes place. \nKwanzaa also has  its own symbols which include:  a decorative mat\, an ear of corn\, crops\, the Unity Cup\, gifts\, the seven candles and candleholder.   All the symbols are designed to convey the seven principles of Kwanzaa. \nMany African-Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa observe it as ad additional celebration to Christmas. \nA fascinating\, humbling and thought provoking celebration\, why not find out more about this occasion? \n

SUMMARY:National Champagne Day 2019
DESCRIPTION:National Champagne Day is informally observed on December 31. This is a perfect day to observe this holiday because we are pretty certain you will all be making a New Year’s Eve toast with champagne. \nChampagne is a sparkling wine produced in the Champagne region of France under the rules of appellation. The name Champagne is legally protected. However\, some use this term as a generic term for sparkling wines.  As Champagne can be quite expensive  we will allow you 😉 to celebrate the National Champagne Day drinking any sparkling wine you like\, no matter whether it comes from France\, Italy\, or California. \nInstead of drinking  Champagne\, you could make a champagne cocktail that will be perfect for New Year’s Eve. For instance\, Mimosa is a classic Champagne cocktail. \nPop that cork and celebrate in style! \n

SUMMARY:First Night in the USA 2019
DESCRIPTION:First Night is a cultural and artistic celebration of the first night of the new year. It’s traditionally held on New Year’s Eve. \nFirst Night was celebrated for the first time on December 31\, 1975. A small group of artists from Boston sought an alternative way to celebrate New Year’s Eve. They wanted a festive event\, where alternative artists and musicians could perform on outdoor and indoor stages. Moreover\, they wanted an event\, that wouldn’t emphasize drinking alcohol\, as is common of New Year’s Eve celebration.  The first First Night had a great success and other communities and cities started celebrating it. \nBy the 2000s the artistic celebration appeared in 260 cities across the USA.   First Night celebrations exists in many cities across the USA and everyone can join this celebration as an alternative to New Year’s Eve. Celebrate your local culture\, music\, arts\, dance\, comedy\, fireworks\, ice sculptures and parades! \n

SUMMARY:Walk Your Dog Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:January is Walk Your Dog Month and what better way to kick start your New Years Resolutions by getting out in the great outdoors and walking off some of that festive food and drink? \nWith obvious health benefits for both you and your dog(s)\, this awareness month is a great way to help dust off the January blues\, get out and about\, meet other dog walkers and improve your own and your dogs well being. \nIn a 2017 clinical survey carried out by the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention\, it was found that 56% of dogs in the United States are obese equating to 50.2 million dogs across the Nation. \nThe number of pets with clinical obesity continues to increase. states APOP Founder\, veterinarian Dr. Ernie Ward. We’re continuing to see more pets diagnosed with obesity rather than overweight. Clinical obesity results in more secondary conditions such as arthritis\, high blood pressure\, kidney disease\, and certain forms of cancer. Pets with obesity also have reduced quality of life and shorter life expectancy. \nWith the biggest reason given for not being able to exercise pets appropriately being “too busy”\, Walk Your Dog Month is a great opportunity to set yourself some small targets to get out walking with your dog and hopefully change your habits long term to the benefit of you both. \nIt is important to note that before starting any exercise regime it would be worthwhile checking that your dog doesnt have any underlying health issues and when you do start frequent dog walking\, safety is key for both you and your dog. Some things to consider include: \n\nWearing brightly coloured or reflective clothing\, leashes and collars.\nStay in well lit public areas\nEnsure your dog has access to plenty of fresh clean water during if on a long walk and afterwards.\nProtect your dogs feet from the elements- ice\, snow and de-icers and grit can all cause nasty sores so be sure to protect your dogs feet and wash them down afterwards.\nMake sure your dog is warm or cool enough – particularly if young\, old or with a condition such as arthritis.\n\nBut most of all HAVE FUN! \n

SUMMARY:National Mentoring Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:A great way to start a New Year- participate in National Mentoring Month 2020. \nEstablished by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership & Harvard TH School of Public Health in 2002\, the campaign aims to raise awareness about the need for more Mentors in society as well as encouraging more people to actively become mentors to young people. The campaign celebrates the effects that mentoring young people can have on individuals and society. It has 3 target goals: \nRaise awareness of mentoring in its various forms\nRecruit individuals to mentor\, especially in programs that have waiting lists of young people\nPromote the rapid growth of mentoring by recruiting organizations to engage their constituents in mentoring. \nLocal organizations are supported by leading National partners in their quest to raise awareness by arranging local events and publicity. The campaign has attracted large numbers of high profile supporters all assisting the overall aim of raising awareness and increasing mentor numbers.\nSO WHY MENTOR?\nMentoring can have a significant impact on a young person’s life\, prospects and outlook. It is a key way of ensuring that young people know that they have someone on hand that they can rely on\, provide emotional support\, educational and career guidance and generally be there to guide them. According to data\, one in three young people will grow up without a mentor. Some statistics taken from the Mentoring.org website include: \nStudents who meet regularly with their mentors are 52% less likely than their peers to skip a day of school and 37% less likely to skip a class\nYoung adults who face an opportunity gap but have a mentor are 55% more likely to be enrolled in college than those who did not have a mentor.\nIn addition to better school attendance and a better chance of going on to higher education\, mentored youth maintain better attitudes toward school\n46% less likely than their peers to start using illegal drugs and 27% less likely to start drinking.\n81% more likely to participate regularly in sports or extracurricular activities than those who do not\nA study showed that the strongest benefit from mentoring\, and most consistent across risk groups\, was a reduction in depressive symptoms ‚ particularly noteworthy given that almost one in four youth reported worrisome levels of these symptoms at baseline. \nThere are several ways to become involved with the campaign be it as a mentor yourself or if you are seeking a mentor to guide you or a friend or family member. You can check to see if there is a Mentoring Partnership in your area\, and if not contact MENTOR directly for more information. \nWith statistics\, facts and case studies showing the positive effect that mentoring can have on young people\, it is something that collectively we can make huge progress with- the affect that you could have on a young persons life is surely worth investigating. And if you feel you need a mentor then get in touch and take the first step in improving your own life. \nVisit the website for more information and support. \n#Mentoringmonth \n

SUMMARY:National Spaghetti Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Spaghetti Day is celebrated by Americans every year on January 4. \nIf you’re nuts for pasta\, don’t miss the chance to cook it in the Italian way on National Spaghetti Day. The first pasta was produced in the Southern Italy around 12th century. In the 19th century it became very popular all over Italy after lots of pasta factories were established and its production came into mass market.Italian pasta appeared in the USA in the end of the 19th century. \nIt was served in different restaurants as Spaghetti Italienne. Most likely this dish consisted of noodles cooked past al dente with tomato sauce and some seasoning like bay leaves\, cloves and garlic. Only decades later oregano and basil became commonly used for cooking spaghetti.There are different ways to cook spaghetti. \nYou can add some tomato sauce and cheese to enrich the taste of your dish\, but the most popular among Americans dish is spaghetti with meatballs. Spaghetti carbonara is a favorite dish in Italy and it takes more time and practice to cook it\, but the payoff is worth it. \n

SUMMARY:National Shortbread Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:January 6 is National Shortbread Day in the USA.This is a good reason to cook shortbread for a dessert. \nNational Shortbread Day is actually an ambassador for Scotland as far as the very first shortbread was cooked there. Scottish shortbread appeared in the 12th century\, but its refinement is credited to Mary\, Queen of Scots in the 16th century. \nAt that time shortbread was expensive and it was served as a luxurious dessert for special occasions only.Shortbread is known for its crumbly texture that is caused by high fat amount in butter. Actually butter is added to any dough to produce a crumbly texture.Today shortbread is baked in any shape\, but traditionally it was baked round and then cut into triangles. This shape represented the sun\, as food historians believe. \nIt leads to the belief that shortbread was inspired by that Pagan yule cakes\, which is still a common dessert for Christmas in Europe.Modern shortbread is cooked in any shape\, and it contains jelly\, chocolate and nut toppings that make its taste better. \n

SUMMARY:Paget's Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Paget’s Awareness Day\, is an opportunity to raise the profile of Paget’s Disease of Bone and the 11th of January 2020 is the anniversary of the birth of Sir James Paget\, whose name was given to the condition. Through research\, including that funded by the Paget’s Association\, there has been great progress in alleviating the effects of the condition\, however\, there is still much to be done. It has been estimated that as few as 7% of those who have x-ray evidence of Paget’s disease actually come to medical attention. Wouldn’t it be something if we could find all those suffering in silence who are yet to have their condition acknowledged? \nBone is living tissue and normally renews and repairs itself without any problems. In Paget’s disease\, this process is abnormal and impacts on the structure of any bone that has Paget’s. People who have Paget’s disease can sometimes have no symptoms\, however\, at the other end of the scale\, it can be a very painful and disabling condition. \nThe Paget’s Association is a UK charity supporting patients\, funding research and raising awareness of Paget’s disease. We need people to get involved\, support Paget’s Awareness Day and in doing so\, help us find those suffering in silence who have yet to be assessed by a specialist. \nThe 11th of January 2020 is the 206th anniversary of the birth of Sir James Paget. He studied Paget’s disease extensively and had his first paper published in 1877. Later\, the condition came to be known as Paget’s Disease of Bone. \nTo celebrate the first ever Paget’s Awareness Day\, the Paget’s Association is launching the Paget’s Passport. This is a patient-held record of Paget’s disease. It can be taken to all medical appointments to help improve care and communication by recording key information. \nThe Association is also promoting a new clinical Guideline that has been developed by experts to provide recommendations for the diagnosis and management of Paget’s disease. It provides direction to professionals\, giving them a base on which to make decisions\, and facilitates discussion with patients. We want the new Guideline to be used by every single doctor who sees a patient who may have Paget’s disease. Further information can be found on our website. \nThe Paget’s Association is making great strides to raise awareness of Paget’s disease\, but we need people to get involved. Mark the day by wearing blue and green – the colours of the Paget’s Association’s logo. If you like\, take a photo and share it on social media\, and don’t forget to tell people why you are doing it. \nPlease support Paget’s Awareness Day on the 11th January and help relieve the suffering of those who are either not yet diagnosed or who are not receiving the help they need. On our website and in our newsletter there are ideas of ways you can help raise awareness. \nYou can call the Association (0161 799 4646) or even make a donation to help support our work. \n

SUMMARY:National Human Trafficking Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Human Trafficking Awareness Day is observed every year on January 11. \nThis observances was started in 2011 by Presidential Proclamation of National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. \nIn 2011 President Barack Obama issued a Presidential Proclamation\, designating each January to be National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month. The anniversary of this proclamation became known as National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. \nSlavery was officially abolished in the USA by the Thirteenth Amendment in December 1865 however sadly human trafficking is growing at an alarming rate and despite the USA being a first world country\, human trafficking has become a lucrative business for some members of our society. \nThe victims affected and forced into modern day slavery can be of foreign nationalities or the citizens of the USA\, but they are all subjected to the horrific injustices of human trafficking\, including sex trafficking\, forced labor\, involuntary servitude\, forced marriage and debt bondage. \nMany of the anti trafficking organizations arrange awareness raising campaigns all year round\, but particularly in January when this awareness day is recognised and publicity is at its peak.  It is important to know the signs of human trafficking and who you can contact should your suspicions be raised.   The National Human Trafficking Resource Center Hotline\, a resource that anyone can call to submit a tip about potential incidents of trafficking\, received 20\,424 calls and had 5\,748 cases of trafficking reported in 2016 alone with figures increasing every year.  Help raise awareness and potentially save peoples lives by educating yourself more about the despicable act of human trafficking and what you can do if you suspect anyone of being a victim or organizer of this terrifying act. \n

SUMMARY:STIQ Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:STIQ Day has been launched to get people thinking about their sexual health and encourage more people to get regular sexual health checks. No one likes to think they’ve caught a sexually transmitted infection (STI) but without a test you just can’t be sure.\nThis year STIQ Day takes place on 14th January\, a date chosen because many common STIs such as Chlamydia can take two weeks to be detectable. If your festive season included unprotected sex then you should be thinking about getting tested now. Also with just one month to go before Valentine’s Day anyone hoping to enjoy the celebrations to the full should do so knowing that they are infection free and will not be putting someone else’s sexual health in danger. \nMore and more people in the UK are catching STIs and each year the infection rate is rising. Regardless of how old you are\, if you’re gay or straight\, if you’ve had one partner or 100 just one unprotected sexual encounter could have put you at risk of catching an STI. \nEven if you feel perfectly healthy you could still be carrying something. Often getting routinely tested is the only way that people can detect an infection and the earlier they are tested and treated\, the less chance there is of long-term damage being caused. \nGetting a sexual health check is easy and shouldn’t be embarrassing or shameful; sex is a normal part of adult life so sexual health checks should be to. It’s a quick\, simple process that not only puts your mind at rest but could protect your fertility or even save your life or that of your partner \nSo use STIQ Day to get smart about your sexual health \n

SUMMARY:National Pie Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Pie Day\, is an annual celebration of pies started in the mid-1970s by Colorado nuclear engineer\, brewer and teacher Charlie Papazian after he declared his own birthday\, January 23\, to be National Pie Day. Since 1986\, National Pie Day is sponsored by the American Pie Council. Mr Papazian had already founded the Association of Brewers so he was well placed to promote and encourage National Pie Day. \nAlthough National Pie Day seems like an opportunity to gorge on your favourite sweet and savoury pies\, the Pie Council was actually established to assist and improve the Pie industry across the country. The Council work with industry leaders as well as fledgling cooks and companies to promote the good work within the industry and new flavours and products. In 2014\, the American Pie Council also partnered with Paramount Pictures in promoting the romantic thriller film Labor Day in conjunction with National Pie Day. \nWhat a great opportunity to forget the New Year health kick for a day\, get baking some home made goodness ( or buy one if you’d prefer) and kick back with friends or family and enjoy a pie feast! \n

SUMMARY:Feast of Our Lady of Peace in Roman Catholic Church 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Feast of Our Lady of Peace is celebrated annually on January 24. \nThis feast commemorates the Blessed Virgin Mary\, who is often represented holding a dove and an olive branch\, that are the symbols of peace. The memorial feast celebration has two dates: July 9 and January 24. While January 24 is the feast day in Hawaii and in some churches of the United States\, the rest of the world uses July 9\, the date when the original statue of Our Lady of Peace was crowned by the Archbishop of Paris in the name of Pope Saint Pius X. \nThe story of celebration begins in the early 1500s in France\, when a statue of Our Lady of Peace was presented as a wedding gift to a young bride. This statue was known as Virgin of Joyeuse and it became the family heirloom. Later the statue was given to the Capuchin community\, that erected a large chapel for those who sought Mary’s intercession. \nThe original wooden statue of Blessed Virgin Mary is kept at the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in France. A larger bronze replica is hoisted above the altar at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace. And the last\, the third one\, replica stands outside the cathedral. \n

SUMMARY:National Peanut Butter Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:January 24 is National Peanut Butter Day! Why oh why are all these food awareness days in January when we are trying to be good?!  At least in moderation peanut butter could be considered a healthier option than some other foods!   \nPeanut butter is a classic American food\, first patented in 1884\, so why don’t you get spreading the delicious American favourite and support local businesses and commerce  by doing so at the same time?  \nOver the years there have been many attempts to manufacture THE BEST peanut butter. Canadian Marcellus Edson made cooled product of peanuts and sugar\, that had a consistency like that of butter. John Kellog used boiled peanuts for his own peanut butter and George Bayle tended to making peanut butter with roasted peanuts. \nIt took until 1923 when Heinz cracked the recipe as know it today\, and the result is that peanut butter is a product that over 90% of American families now cannot live without. \nDid you know that peanut butter is cholesterol free and it’s a great source of protein? Or that it takes 550 peanuts to make a 12oz jar of peanut butter? Feel free to share these useless bits of information with your friends 😉   \nSmooth or chunky\, there is never not a perfect time for peanut butter.  Celebrate National Peanut Butter Day with some peanut butter spread on your toast or just with a spoonful right from the jar. And remember\, that it takes 550 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of creamy peanut butter. \n

SUMMARY:Australia Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Australia Day is celebrated on January 26 each year and commemorates the first landing in Australia by Captain Arthur Phillip. Although Australia Day officially takes place on the 26th January each year\, if the 26th happens to fall on a Saturday or Sunday\, celebrations actually then take place on the following Monday which is why this year’s celebrations are taking place on Monday the 27th January.\nMost Australians consider January 26 with national pride\, flying the Australian flag from businesses\, homes\, cars and even their babies. They attend festivals\, fireworks\, community and sporting events or gather for family barbecues at homes\, parks or on the beach.\n\n\nAustralia Day\, 26 January\, is the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet of 11 convict ships from Great Britain\, and the raising of the Union Jack at Sydney Cove by its commander Captain Arthur Phillip\, in 1788.\n\nThough 26 January marks this specific event\, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: the diverse society and landscape and many remarkable achievements. It also is an opportunity to reflect on Australia’s national history. \nOn Australia Day\, over half of the nation’s population of 21 million attend either an organised community event\, or get together with family and friends with the intention of celebrating this national day. Many more spend the public holiday relaxing with family and friends. \nAustralia Day is much more than barbeques and fireworks. It is more than another public holiday. It is more than the pride and excitement of new citizens who call themselves Australian for the first time on 26 January after being conferred citizenship. \nAt its core\, Australia Day is a day driven by communities\, and the celebrations held in each town\, suburb or city ‚and unified by the celebration of what is great about Australia and being Australian. \n\n  \n\n

SUMMARY:National Croissant Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:January 30 is National Croissant Day\, so celebrate it with a tasty warm croissant and a generous helping of butter. Although croissants are considered as French speciality\, they have got Austrian origin. \nThe story of croissants sounds more like a tale full of adventures. It begins in 1683 during the siege of Vienna by the Ottoman Empire. The Turks made several attempts to enter Vienna\, but they were unsuccessful. They decided to dig an underground tunnel\, but Vienna’s bakers\, who worked in the basement storerooms\, heard the noise of digging and alerted the army. \nThe Turks didn’t succeed that time and the bakers of Vienna were given high honors for saving the city. Bakers made pastry in the shape of crescent moon\, that is the symbol of the Turkish Empire\, to celebrate the victory. This pastry became traditional for breakfast in Vienna.Croissants were brought to France by August Zang\, and Marie Antoinette adored them. She introduced the croissants to France and French bakers perfected the recipe of this pastry. \nTraditional breakfast croissant were with frangipane or chocolate filling and were served with jam and butter. However in the early 1970s croissants became so popular\, that they substituted sandwiches and evolved from their traditional two fillings into many savory and sweet variations. \n

SUMMARY:Groundhog Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 2 is Groundhog Day in the USA and Canada. Everyone watches the groundhog emerge from its burrow hoping that it will predict the coming of the spring. \nAccording to folklore\, if groundhog emerges from its burrow on a cloudy day\, the spring will come early. If it’s sunny\, the groundhog will see its shadow and come back into its burrow which means that the cold winter weather will persist for 6 more weeks. \nGroundhog Day has a pagan origin. There is a pagan festival of Imbolc celebrated on February 1 that included weather prediction. On this day people were watching if serpents or badgers came from their winter burrows. \nThis festival developed into a German tradition to predict weather watchihg the behavior of badgers. Early German immigrants brought their tradition to the U.S. but there were no badgers\, so they were substituted with groundhogs. \nThe largest Groundhog Day celebration is held in Pennsylvania. There are different customs\, social events and speeches. The festival begins early in the morning when people gather to watch the groundhog emerge from its burrow. \n

SUMMARY:Lung Leavin Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The concept of Lung Leavin‚Day was created on February 2\, 2006 by Heather Avon St James. The awareness raising campaign was as a result of the 36 year old being diagnosed with mesothelioma. Sadly at the time Heather was given only 15 months to live. However Heather was determined to fight this deadly disease for the sake of her husband and you daughter and insisted\, after much research and contact with a renowned Mesothelioma surgeon\, on the removal of her lung. On the day of her lung removal\, which ultimately proved to be her life-saving surgery\, her sister made a joke about it being Lung Leavin’ Day…and the name stuck. \nThe following year on the first anniversary\, Heather’s family created the tradition of writing their fears in marker on kitchen plates and throwing them into a huge bonfire outside\, symbolically smashing their deepest insecurities. \nLung leavin‚Day has grown over the years\, taking shape as a celebration of life\, and a fundraiser for mesothelioma and asbestos awareness. It has become a prominent day in the global mesothelioma community\, and amasses a large crowd at Heather’s home in Minnesota each year. To date over $37\,000 has been raised. \nTo get involved and show support for the fantastic achievement of Heather and all those that work in the field of mesothelioma and those affected\, visit the website dedicated to the cause. \n

SUMMARY:National Sickie Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:According to national statistics the first Monday in February is the day when people are most likely to pull a sickie. \nOne of the factors attributed to this is the first payday since Christmas\, meaning people have been out celebrating all weekend with a particularly heavy one. Another theory is that people have a tendency to re-evaluate their career path in January\, meaning that a lot of these sickies are actually to attend interviews. These factors combined have been linked to the estimated 350\,000 absences from work on the first Monday of February last year. \nWe’ve been scanning the web for the top ten funniest reasons that people have called in sick. So at least if you are one of the people that weren’t aware of National Sickie Day\, or just too pure of conscience to jump on the bandwagon and you’re sat dutifully in a near empty office\, you can sit back and have a giggle at the daft things people will come up with to have a day off! \nI can’t come in today because my flatmates took my door handle off and I can’t get out.\nAll of my work clothes are wet so I can’t make it in today.\nI’ve managed to secure a parking space outside my house and I can’t risk losing it.\nGoats got into my garden.\nI’m stuck in the bathroom. (These pesky doors!)\nMy mum was hoovering the stairs and I couldn’t get past.\nMy hamster’s poorly.\nDeath of a distant relative (often found out later to be very much alive).\nMy trousers split on the way in.\nI swallowed a hot sausage last night and it burnt my throat so badly I can’t breathe today. \n

SUMMARY:Four Chaplains Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 3 is Four Chaplains Day in the USA. This day commemorates the events of February 3\, 1943\, when the troop ship USAT Dorchester sank. Dorchester left New York on January 23\, 1943\, carrying 4 chaplains and about 900 others as a part of convoy of three ships. \nIt was torpedoed by German submarine U-223 off Newfoundland at 12:55 a.m. When Dorchester began to sink\, four chaplains of different religions\, George L. Fox (Methodist)\, Alexander D. Goode (rabbi)\, Clark V. Poling (Baptist) and John P. Washington (Catholic) were helping to calm down the passengers and organized an orderly evacuation. The life vests were passed out to men\, but the supply ran out before each man had one. \nThe four chaplains gave their own life vests to others and helped as many men as they could into the boats\, then they linked their arms together\, saying prayers and singing hymns\, went down with the ship.Four chaplains were posthumously awarded by the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross on December 19\, 1944. In 2006 chaplains were awarded by the Medal of Honor. \nThe Four Chaplains’ Medal was introduced by Congress on July 14\, 1960. These medals were presented posthumously to the next of kin of each of the four chaplains of Dorchester on January 18\, 1961. \nCongress established February 3 as Four Chaplains Day in 1988. This day is observed with official proclamations and\, sometimes\, flags flying at half-mast. \n

SUMMARY:World Nutella Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 5th is World Nutella Day. I would’ve sworn blind that i’m the biggest Nutella fan going\, however the presence of this day suggests otherwise! \nWorld Nutella Day was started on February 5th 2007 by the American blogger Sara Rosso to show her devotion to Nutella. She loved the stuff so much she felt it deserved a whole day of it’s own to be dedicated to it and it seems that a hell of a lot of other people agreed with her. Since this day was started Nutella fans have come together all over the world to celebrate it by sharing their recipes\, pictures and general adoration of it on social media and other online platforms. \nIn 2015 Sara transferred World Nutella Day to Ferrero (the makers of Nutella) to help it grow and live on for many years to come. \nWhat’ll you be doing this year to keep the Nutella dream alive? \n  \n

SUMMARY:Time To Talk Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Time To Talk Day brings the nation together to get talking and break the silence around mental health problems. View our short video to see what we got up to in 2019 and watch this space for our plans for Time To Talk Day next year – which will take place on 6 February 2020\nToo often\, people who experience a mental health problem are also expected to take the lead on talking about mental health in the wider sense. Time To Talk Day encourages everyone to talk about mental health. \nMental health problems affect one in four of us yet people are still afraid to talk about it. For people with mental health problems not being able to talk about it can be one of the worst parts of the illness. So by getting people talking about mental health we can break down stereotypes\, improve relationships\, aid recovery and take the stigma out of something that affects us all. \nSince Time To Talk Day first launched in 2014\, it has sparked millions of conversations in schools\, homes\, workplaces\, in the media and online. \nWant to keep up to date with our plans for Time To Talk Day 2020?

SUMMARY:World Day of the Sick 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 11 is World Day of the Sick\, an observation started by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes.\nPeople around the world take the time to pray for the sick and for those who work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day. Faith organisations mark this day especially to provide the sick with medicines\, food\, and spiritual guidance.\nPope John Paul II initiated the day in 1992 to encourage people to pray for those who suffer from illness and for their caregivers. The Pope himself had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s a year before\, in 1991\, and it is considered that his own illness was impetus for his designation of the day. \nPope Benedict XVI also declared his decision to resign from his post as the Pope on this day in 2013. He cited his failing health as the reason behind his decision. \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Women and girls in science 2020
DESCRIPTION:The 2019 Theme was: “Investment in Women and Girls in Science for Inclusive Green Growth”\nScience and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals\, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Over the past 15 years\, the global community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and girls in science. Yet women and girls continue to be excluded from participating fully in science. \nAt present\, less than 30 per cent of researchers worldwide are women. According to UNESCO data (2014 – 2016)\, only around 30 per cent of all female students select STEM-related fields in higher education. Globally\, female students‚enrolment is particularly low in ICT (3 per cent)\, natural science\, mathematics and statistics (5 per cent) and in engineering\, manufacturing and construction (8 per cent). \nLong-standing biases and gender stereotypes are steering girls and women away from science related fields. As in the real world\, the world on screen reflects similar biases‚the 2015 Gender Bias Without Borders study by the Geena Davis Institute showed that of the onscreen characters with an identifiable STEM job\, only 12 per cent were women. \nIn order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls\, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/70/212 declaring 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. \nMore about the Day on UN Women’s website. \n

SUMMARY:National Freedom to Marry in the USA Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 12 is National Freedom to Marry Day. This is an unofficial holiday\, but it is popular among same-sex couples. The holiday was founded and introduced by Lambda Legal in 1999. This law firm advocates rights of gay\, lesbian\, bisexual and transgender communities as well as people living with HIV/AIDS. \nThe most notable holiday was in 2004\, when the City and County of San Francisco began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. These changes were made by the mayor Ganiv Newsom\, who asked his clerk to change the forms and documents used to apply for and issue marriage licenses\, that would provide same-sex marriage on a non-discriminatory basis. \nThe Supreme Court of the United States has recognized the rights of same-sex couples to marry on June 26\, 2013. \nToday same-sex couples can marry in 33 states and in a few other jurisdictions and receive all the state-level benefits of their marriage. Some states offer civil unions\, that grant all or a part of state-level rights and responsibilities. \n

SUMMARY:Get a Different Name Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Get a Different Name Day is one of those bizarre informal holidays\, which are so numerous. It is celebrated on February 13. Our name is not something we choose\, it is typically bestowed upon us by our parents. \nMany people actually like their names\, but not everyone is lucky to be given the name they like. Some people don’t like their names because they are actually weird and hard to pronounce\, and some are displeased with their names for no particular reason. \nIf you are one of those people who don’t like their birth name\, you can use Get a Different Name day as an opportunity to change your name to whatever you wish. You don’t have to change your name legally; you can just notify your family and friends about your new name and expect them to so address you. It can be your middle name or a completely different name. Or you can follow the example of Stiles Stilinski from the MTV series Teen Wolf and use a nickname instead of your real name. \nUnlike many other unofficial holidays\, Get a Different Name Day is copyrighted. It is one of the so-called Wellcat Holidays created by Ruth and Tom Roy\, the founders of wellcat.com \n

SUMMARY:National Tortellini Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 13 is the holiday for all lovers of the Italian cuisine. It’s National Tortellini Day! Tortellini is a small pasta stuffed with different fillings\, like ham\, Parmesan cheese or white meat. \nThis Italian dish is favorite worldwide. It can be also served as a part of soup\, that makes the dish even better. \nThere is a nice legend about the origin of tortellini. Goddess Venus stayed in a tavern on the outskirts of Bologna\, the city where tortellini originate. The innkeeper spied on Venus through the keyhole of the her room\, but he could catch only a glimpse of her navel. He went to the kitchen and shaped a fresh egg pasta into the navel-size tortellini to capture his vision. \nThe city of Bologna can boast an organization called the Learned Order of the Tortellini. The members of this organization dedicated themselves to preserve the original recipe of traditional tortellini. They wear red and gold tortellini-shaped hats and gold tortellini necklaces. \nEnjoy your favorite tortellini topped with pesto\, cream or tomato sauce to celebrate this holiday! \n

SUMMARY:Valentine's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Valentine’s Day\, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine\, is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14. It originated as a Western Christian liturgicalfeast day honouring one or more early saints named Valentinus\, and is recognised as a significant cultural and commercial celebration in many regions around the world\, although it is not a public holiday in any country. \nSeveral martyrdom stories associated with the various Valentines that were connected to February 14 were added to later martyrologies\, including a popular hagiographicalaccount of Saint Valentine of Rome which indicated he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians\, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. According to legend\, during his imprisonment\, Saint Valentine healed the daughter of his jailer\, Asterius\, and before his execution\, he wrote her a letter signed Your Valentine as a farewell. \nThe day first became associated with romantic love within the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the 14th century\, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England\, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers\, offering confectionery\, and sending greeting cards (known as valentines). In Europe\, Saint Valentine’s Keys are given to lovers as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart\, as well as to children\, in order to ward off epilepsy (called Saint Valentine’s Malady). Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shapedoutline\, doves\, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century\, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards. \n

SUMMARY:Singles Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:It’s a humorous holiday to celebrate being single\, to share with single friends\, to send each other presents or even order yourself some flowers. On this day many people wear green\, as it is the complementary opposite of red. Another popular option is an absence of color (black)\, to symbolize an absence of celebration. One increasingly popular activity is to travel to Brazil and witness the Brazilian Carnival. The trip\, coupled with the fact that Brazil doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14\, but in June\, provides a temporary getaway from the neon pink of the Valentine’s holiday in the Western culture\, by simply substituting it with another celebration. Some who celebrate Singles Awareness Day just want to remind romantic couples that they don’t need to be in a relationship to celebrate life\, and that the key to being happy is being able to be happy with yourself. \nContrary to popular misconceptions\, Singles Awareness Day is not about self-pity but rather a chance to announce to the world that you are single and happy to be so. \n

SUMMARY:Susan B. Anthony Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Susan B. Anthony Day is observed annually on February 15 in the USA. This day commemorates the birth of Susan Brownell Anthony\, an American social reformer who played a leading role in women’s suffrage movement as well as a vigorous opponent of slavery. \nSusan Brownell Anthony was born on February 15\, 1820 to a Quaker family. Inspired and driven from a young age\, she started to collect anti-slavery petitions when she was 17. By the time she was the age of 36 she became the New York State agent for the American Anti-Slavery Society. Women’s suffrage began in the 1840s\, when it emerged from the movement for women’s rights. The first two national suffrage organizations were established in 1869. One of the organizations was led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The leader of the other organization was Lucy Stone. In 1890\, after years of rivalry the two companies merged as National American Woman Suffrage Association and Anthony became its leader. \nSusan B. Anthony was an established politician in a time when very few women had a voice at all\, becoming one the United States most senior political figures. Fighting inequality became her primary focus and she worked tirelessly to change the vision for the county and in the process defined history. The legacy of her lifes’ work lives on and perhaps the vision she fought for and the message she spread is even more paramount in today’s society. \nHowever\, despite the historic importance of her work\, Susan B. Anthony Day is not celebrated on national level. It is a state holiday only in some states of America: Wisconsin\, Florida\, West Virginia\, California and New York. Representative Carolyn Maloney of New York introduced the act to honor birthday of Susan B. Anthony as a national holiday on the third Monday in February\, but the bill was not enacted. \n

SUMMARY:National Almond Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Almonds are believed to be one of the most ancient fruit to be cultivated. There are several mentions of almonds along with dates in the Old Testament of the Bible. The other nut mentioned in the Bible is the pistachio. \nDid you know that almond is not a nut? It’s a stone fruit\, that is related to cherries\, plums and peaches. But in case with almonds only stone is eaten\, not the pulp. One of the finest almond varieties is Jordan almond\, that looks like a large plump. This almond is frequently sold in a colored sugar glaze. \nThere is a nice legend about almonds\, that comes from the Greek mythology. The myth tells about beautiful princess Phyllis\, who was left waiting at the altar in the day of her marriage by Demophon\, her intended. Phyllis was waiting for him\, but finally died of a broken heart. Gods sympathized Phyllis and transformed her into an almond tree\, that has become the symbol of hope. \nAlmonds are an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium\, they have the highest level of protein and fiber among all tree nuts. \nThe protein in almonds is more like a protein of human breast milk\, that is why almonds are the best base for baby formulas. \n

SUMMARY:Do a Grouch a Favor Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Do a Grouch a Favor Day is one of those weird informal holidays of unknown origin that are actually not so silly as they might seem at first sight. This day occurs every year on February 16. Even seemingly cheerful and optimistic people occasionally have grouchy mood that may be caused by bad weather\, lack of sleep\, relationship problems\, issues at work etc. They might try to hide it\, but it does not mean that they do not need cheering up. \nOn Do a Grouch a Favor Day\, take a closer look at people around you\, and if someone seems to be in a grouchy mood\, do them a favor to cheer them up. It will certainly lighten up their day as well as boost your karma! \nYou don’t necessarily have to find a solution to one’s problems in order to cheer him or her up. Just do a simple favor to make them smile. You can buy a grouch flowers\, treat them to lunch\, invite them for a walk or to the movies. Listening to their problems is also a good way to cheer a grouch up. \nAnd remember\, if your really want to help people\, you should do it more often than once a year. Do not wait for an excuse to do someone a favor\, just do it! \n

SUMMARY:Real Bread Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Bread Week is the annual\, international celebration of supporting your local\, independent Real Bread bakery and baking your own. \n#RealBreadWeek will return 22 February to 1 March 2020 \nLast year this was moved to February to space it more evenly from Sourdough September and away from celebrations of sorts of other baked goods. \nIn the meantime.. \nHelp our charity to keep doing this: Join the Real Bread Campaign\nGet ready for #SourdoughSeptember\nLearn to bake\nIt’s always a #RealBread week at these bakeries! \n#realbreadweek \nReal Bread Campaign supporters can login to download: \nMedia release templates\nReal Bread Week logo\nPoster artwork \nWhat is Real Bread Week?\nGet involved\nWhat’s going on near me?\nMake some noise!\nShare your photos\nRaising dough to do good\nJoin us\nRecipes\nSee also \nWhat is Real Bread Week?\nLaunched by the Real Bread Campaign in 2009*\, this is the annual\, international celebration of Real Bread and people who make it. \nEach year\, the Campaign encourages bakeries and baking schools in its supporter network around the world to organise hold classes\, feasts and other events and activities. \nMeanwhile\, everyone else is encouraged to get along to a local\, independent Real Bread bakery and support a business that helps to create more jobs per loaf at the heart of your local community and to keep your high street alive.\nDoughy digits\nOne of the two main aims of the week has always been to encourage more people to bake their own Real Bread. We’re particularly keen to see more children learning to bake it\, whether at home\, in a bakery\, baking school or in the classroom. \nNot only is this great fun\, but it’s a way helping them to avoid all of the artificial additives that turn up in industrial loaves. It can also be a way of steering them towards healthier food – you’d be amazed at the number of children who ‘don’t like wholemeal’ but love it when it was lovingly made by their own mitts. \nHome baking\nRecipes\nReal Bread classes/courses\nDiscounts on ingredients\, equipment\, classes \nNB loaves raised with baking powder / soda fall outside our definition of Real Bread\nBigging up little bakeries\nIt’s time to kick the additive-laden industrial loaf habit and support YOUR local Real Bread baker! \nSmall\, independent\, locally-owned bakeries help to: \nsupport more jobs per loaf for people in your local community – skilled jobs at that\nkeep more money circulating in your local economy\, helping to keep your high street alive \nThey may also offer social benefits\, from being a place where older people at risk of isolation can see a friendly face and stop for a chat\, to those that are set up to offer training and employment opportunities for people facing one of a range of challenges. \nDon’t be fooled by so-called ‘artisan’ loaves turning up on supermarket shelves: insist on the real deal. \nLook for The Real Bread Loaf Mark\nDiscover a local Real Bread bakery\nWhy support a local Real Bread bakery \nGet involved!\nHow are YOU celebrating Real Bread Week this year? \nWhether you’re a teacher\, professional or amateur baker (or even a non-baker)\, there are plenty of ways to help people in your local community enjoy Real Bread…and maybe even raise dough for the Campaign at the same time. \nEven better if you team up with local good food organisations and/or other small-batch food and drink producers to make a real party of it. \nHere are a few more ideas of events and activities. You could organise a Real Bread: \nbeginners‚baking workshop\ntasting dinner or pizza night perhaps in association with a local pub or eatery\nlunchbox masterclass to share all the great Real Bread alternatives to soggy factory loaf sarnies with parents at a local school\nclub event to bring friends colleagues and neighbours together to bake\nnetworking event for fellow breadheads \nThe more the merrier\nPerhaps you could involve a community group such as your local: \nSchool\nYouth club\nScouts\, Guides or other local youth organisation\nWI group\nFarmers’ market\nCountry Market\nSlow Food group \nIf you are planning a class or other public event/activity\, please add details to our events calendarNOW! \n

SUMMARY:Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Eating Disorders Awareness Week is an international awareness event\, fighting the myths and misunderstandings that surround anorexia\, bulimia\, binge eating disorder and EDNOS. \nThis year\, during Eating Disorders Awareness Week\, we asked the question Why Wait?’ \nOn average\, 149 weeks pass before those experiencing eating disorder symptoms seek help. That’s almost three years\, 37 months or 1\,043 days. On top of this\, in a YouGov survey conducted for EDAW\, more than one in three adults (34%) in the UK\, who gave an answer\, could not name any signs or symptoms of eating disorders. Find out more about the signs of an eating disorder. \nWe know the sooner someone gets the treatment they need\, the more likely they are to make a full and fast recovery. As well as campaigning to improve the services available\, we recognise that we must raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of an eating disorder and encourage and empower people to take action now no matter how long their symptoms have been present. \n  \n

SUMMARY:World Spay Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Nine of the UK’s animal welfare charities* have joined forces to promote World Spay Day 2020 to encourage cat owners to have their cats spayed. Spaying protects cats from getting pregnant – this is also known as neutering\, fixing or being done. \nRecent research has shown that 70% of litters in the UK are unplanned. \nOur advice is simple – have your cat spayed at four months to protect her from getting pregnant. \nMale cats should be neutered too\, to protect them catching diseases and getting nasty injuries from fighting – a male cat which hasn’t been neutered is much more likely to fight over a female mate. Neutering can also help to stop male cats from spraying indoors – which can be really smelly. He’s also more likely to stay close to home as a neutered male cat is less likely to stray. \nYou may be able to get help with the cost of having your cat neutered. \nTo take a look at the World Spay Day events near you\, click here \nWorld Spay Day is supported by: \nThe Blue Cross\nBattersea Dogs & Cats Home\nCats Protection\nCelia Hammond Animal Trust\nInternational Cat Care\nMayhew Animal Home\nPDSA\nRSPCA\nWood Green Animal Charity \n

SUMMARY:Tell a Fairy Tale Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Tell a Fairy Tale Day is an informal observance held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your kinds and enjoy your favorite childhood tales yourself. \nA fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic. Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after. \nFairy tale collections are usually the first books read by children (not counting alphabet books\, of course). But children are introduced to fairy tales much earlier than they start to read\, because fairy tales are the most common type of bedtime story. \nEven if you don’t have children or your kids are not around\, you should not miss the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with fairy tales. It’s perfectly okay to read fairy tale books alone. Make a cup of hot chocolate\, curl up in a chair and immerse yourself in the world of princes and princesses\, evil witches and beautiful fairies\, dragons and unicorns\, talking animals and magical plants. \n

SUMMARY:Rare Disease Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Rare Disease Day takes place on the last day of February each year. The main objective of Rare Disease Day is to raise awareness amongst the general public and decision-makers about rare diseases and their impact on patients’ lives.The campaign targets primarily the general public and also seeks to raise awareness amongst policy makers\, public authorities\, industry representatives\, researchers\, health professionals and anyone who has a genuine interest in rare diseases. \nBuilding awareness of rare diseases is so important because 1 in 20 people will live with a rare disease at some point in their life. Despite this\, there is no cure for the majority of rare diseases and many go undiagnosed. Rare Disease Day improves knowledge amongst the general public of rare diseases while encouraging researchers and decision makers to address the needs of those living with rare diseases. \nRare Disease Day events are down to hundreds of patient organisations all over the world who work on a local and national level to raise awareness for the rare disease community in their countries. Since Rare Disease Day was first launched by EURORDIS and its Council of National Alliances in 2008\, thousands of events have taken place throughout the world reaching hundreds of thousands of people and resulting in a great deal of media coverage. We especially thank our official Rare Disease Day partners\, the National Alliances. These are umbrella organisations who group together several rare disease organisations in a given country or region. Click on a logo of one of the National Alliances to go to their website. \nThe campaign started as a European event and has progressively become a world phenomenon\, with the USA joining in 2009 and participation in 94 countries all over the world in 2018. Hundreds of cities continue to take part in Rare Disease Day and we hope even more will join in 2018. \nSome countries have decided to raise rare disease awareness further\, for example\, Spain declared 2013 as the National Year for Rare Diseases. The first Rare Disease Day was celebrated in 2008 on 29 February\, a rare‚date that happens only once every four years. Ever since then\, Rare Disease Day has taken place on the last day of February\, a month known for having a rare‚number of days. \nOn rarediseaseday.org you can find information about the thousands of events happening around the world on the last day of February. If you are planning an event\, register your event details on the Post your Event page to get your event listed on the site! \n

SUMMARY:Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:When a woman is diagnosed at the earliest stage\, her chance of surviving ovarian cancer for five years or more doubles from just 46 per cent to more than 90 per cent. \nHowever\, nearly half of GPs mistakenly believe symptoms only present in the later stages of the disease\, and less than a third of women in the UK are confident they know the symptoms. \nThis year\, tens of thousands of symptoms leaflets were read\, thousands of cakes were baked\, hundreds of outlandish outfits worn and more teapots brewed than we could count all with one aim in mind  to get more women diagnosed at the earliest stage. Your fundraising means we will be able to do more to improve early diagnosis\, fund more life-saving research and provide much-needed support. \n

SUMMARY:Walk All Over Cancer 2020
DESCRIPTION:Walk All Over Cancer is a fundraising and activity challenge that occurs annually every March in aid of the charity Cancer Research UK. Participants are challenged to a sponsored walk of 10\,000 steps every day during the month\, and all proceeds from the fundraising are donated to the charity. \nCancer Research UK funds research into cancer treatment and prevention across the world\, working to develop new cancer drugs and provide the latest cancer information about cancer treatment and prevention to both health professionals and the public. \nParticipants can share details of their progress using the hashtag #walkallovercancer and walks can be either solo or walkers can challenge their friends and family to join them\, or even take part with local walking groups. The NHS recommends 10\,000 steps per day for optimum health\, however with increasingly sedentary lives\, many people do not reach this amount\, and so the challenge is an opportunity to improve your own health as well as raise money for a good cause. By taking 10\,000 steps per day\, walkers will achieve 150 miles by the end of the month. \nAnybody interested in getting involved in Walk All Over Cancer will find further resources including free printable materials and information on fundraising and tracking steps at www.cancerresearchuk.org. \n

SUMMARY:National Nutrition Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Nutrition Month in the USA is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. \nThe campaign has actually been around for a long time\, first starting as an awareness  week in 1973 becoming an awareness month in 1980\, such was the interest and support. \nRegistered Dietitian Nutritionist Day\, also celebrated in March\, increases awareness of registered dietitian nutritionists as the indispensable providers of food and nutrition services and recognizes RDNs for their commitment to helping people enjoy healthy lives. \nObviously healthy eating is important no matter what our age\, race\, gender or religion yet is probably something that we do not pay enough attention to\, take short cuts and are blissfully ignorant about the damage we could potentially be doing to ourselves and the environment. \nEvery year the campaign has a theme with dedicated websites containing masses of information\, downloadable posters\, info-graphics\, recipes\, tip sheets and facts.  This makes it exceptionally easy for us to become more informed and participate in raising awareness of the importance of National Nutrition Month. \nA campaign that is nationally recognised there are many ways you can become involved.  Many of your local health care providers\, community centres\, schools and libraries will have information about events. Ways in which you could become involved are: \n 	Promote the campaign by putting up the poster etc that can be found on the website\n 	Arrange a cooking demo with local health eating experts.\n 	Organize food donation in your community\n 	Plan with your family to try new nutritional foods or recipes.\n 	Start a school or workplace vegetable patch.\n 	Organise a healthy  recipe contest. \nGet involved and see if you can implement some life long improvements to your diet over the course of this month. \n

SUMMARY:St David's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:March kicks off in style with St David’s Day\, when Welsh people across the world but mainly in Wales\, naturally celebrate their fantastic heritage under the banner of their national saint. David’s greatest miracle was creating a hill under his feet where he spoke about God\, though otherwise\, he was quite a humble man\, to the point where he advocated that monks pulled the plough (and not cows)\, and only had bread and water as part of their diet. \nSo sure\, St David might not be seen in the same party atmosphere as St Patrick\, who somewhat steals his thunder with his own day later in the month\, but Glastonbury Abbey yes\, in that Glastonbury was founded by St David. But before you decide that the saint-based party night of the year ought to be moved out of fairness and respect\, St David refrained from drinking beer \n

SUMMARY:Deep-Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:March is national Deep-Vein Thrombosis Awareness Month\, a public health initiative aimed at raising awareness of this commonly occurring medical condition and its potentially fatal complication; pulmonary embolism. According to the American Heart Association up to 2 million Americans are affected annually by DVT\, more commonly known as blood clots. Yet most Americans (74 percent) have little or no awareness of DVT according to a national survey sponsored by the American Public Health Association. \nLeading medical\, public health and patient advocacy groups are sponsoring the observance and are working to increase awareness of the signs\, symptoms and risk factors of DVT. All health professionals can help by learning more about the condition and the options available for treatment and prevention. \nAbout DVT\nThere are two types of veins: deep and superficial. Deep veins are large and surrounded by muscle in the center of a limb. DVT occurs when a thrombus (blood clot) forms in the deep vein\, most often in the leg\, resulting in partially or completely blocked circulation. \nSymptoms of DVT can include swelling\, pain\, discoloration and abnormally hot skin at the affected area. Unfortunately\, nearly half of DVT episodes have minimal\, if any\, symptoms. These “silent” afflictions are particularly worrisome. Adding to the complication\, some conditions such as muscle strain\, skin inflection\, phlebitis – inflammation of veins – have similar symptoms\, making DVT harder to diagnose. The most accurate ways to diagnose DVT are through venous ultrasound\, venography and Impedance plethysmography – detection via electrodes and blood pressure cuff placed on the patient’s calf and thigh. \nWhile DVT below the knee is unlikely to cause serious complications\, clots above the knee can break off and travel up the bloodstream\, resulting in a blocked blood vessel in the lung (pulmonary embolism). Other consequences are damaged blood vessels leading to blood pooling\, swelling and pain in the leg\, and in the most severe cases with large clots\, death. \nCertain individuals are more at risk for deep-vein thrombosis than others. Those with prior DVT\, obesity\, stroke\, pregnancy\, undergoing major surgery\, over the age of 65 and those who are confined to long periods of immobility via travel or bed rest are more likely to be afflicted. According to the American Medical Association\, approximately 2 million people suffer from DVT each year\, more than the annual amount affected by heart attack or stroke. \nIf you are concerned please seek medical help. \n

SUMMARY:Endometriosis Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Every March Endometriosis Month takes place across the world\, with the aim of increasing awareness and highlighting the symptoms of this debilitating condition that affects an estimated 176 million women worldwide. \nEndometriosis can have a devastating effect on the quality of life of sufferers of this condition due to the painful symptoms that the disease carries and the fact that it is the biggest cause of infertility in women. Although this is a condition that affects 1 in 10 women\, the average diagnosis can take up to 7 and a half years\, and with this unacceptably long diagnosis time\, the main focus of the event is to raise awareness of the symptoms of Endometriosis with the goal being more women receiving diagnosis and treatment earlier. \nFind out more about the symptoms of Endometriosis here. You can also get involved in the chat on twitter using the hashtag #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth \n

SUMMARY:National Salt Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Our 20th National Salt Awareness Week has been confirmed! Monday 4th – 10th March will see Action On Salt celebrating 20 years since we first set out our fight to reduce salt in the UK diet and improve public health. \nMany people now know that eating too much salt is bad for their health and are actively looking to cut down. This is in stark comparison for a few years ago\, when the dangers of salt on health were unknown to the general public. Thanks to efforts of the food industry\, government and health organisations like Action On Salt\, salt is well and truly on the health agenda across many countries worldwide. As such we will be highlighting the great achievements that have been made in that time\, with a number of food groups having up to 50% less salt now than 10 years ago! \nWith that said however\, we are still well away from the UK maximum daily salt limit of 6g\, highlighting a need for more action. Many foods still have lots of hidden salt in them – even foods that don’t necessarily taste salty. We all have a responsibility to read the labels and choose foods with less salt\, but it is down to the food companies to provide us with low salt options! Equally it is much harder to eat less salt when eating out in restaurants and ordering takeaway\, so with that said\, for this years Salt Awareness Week we will be asking all companies to think with their hearts and add less salt! \nDuring Salt Awareness Week we will be calling for more action from everyone; government\, the food industry\, catering sectors\, health professionals and the general population. We can all do our bit to #EatLessSalt \nFind out more about this year’s campaign here. \n

SUMMARY:Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Shrove Tuesday (known in some countries as Pancake Tuesday) is a day in February or March preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent)\, which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes. In others\, especially those (including Louisiana) where it is called Mardi Gras or some translation thereof\, this is a carnival day\, and also the last day of fat eating or gorging before the fasting period of Lent. \nThis moveable festival is determined by Easter. The expression Shrove Tuesday comes from the word shrive\, meaning absolve. Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians\, including Anglicans\, Lutherans\,Methodists and Roman Catholics\,who make a special point of self-examination\, of considering what wrongs they need to repent\, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask God’s help in dealing with. \nBeing the last day before the penitential season of Lent\, related popular practices\, such as indulging in food that one sacrifices for the upcoming forty days\, are associated with Shrove Tuesday celebrations\, before commencing the fasting and religious obligations associated with Lent. The term Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday\, referring to the practice of the last night of eating richer\, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of theLenten season\, which begins on Ash Wednesday \n

SUMMARY:St Piran's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:You might not have heard of St Piran\, never mind St Piran’s Day\, but this figure is central to the culture and identity of Cornwall\, who hold him up as their patron saint  and he’s also the patron saint of tin miners\, who flocked to the south-west county to discover this naturally abundant metal. \nIt is St Piran’s flag  a white cross on a black background  which has been adopted by Cornwall\, particularly its separatists\, who have been campaigning for devolution (and even individual country status) since the 1950s. \nLuckily\, you don’t need to take your passport to get into Cornwall to celebrate the occasion with the friendly locals  and like St Patrick’s Day\, you can guarantee the party atmosphere will be there\, with all sorts of events taking place on the big day. \n

SUMMARY:Dentist's Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Dentist’s Day is an annual professional holiday celebrated on March 6. It is the perfect occasion to express your appreciation and gratitude to the people who help you keep your tooth healthy. \nThe date of March 6 was chosen because presumably on this day in 1790\, American dentist John Greenwood\, who served as George Washington’s personal dentist\, invented the first known dental foot engine. \nDentist’s Day celebrates all dental health specialists\, including but not limited to\, regular dental surgeons\, orthodontists\, periodontists\, pediatric dentists\, prosthodontists\, dental assistants\, dental technicians\, dental hygienists\, dental therapists. \nDentists are typically not the people we look forward to seeing. Many of us feel nervous before a dental visit\, and the mere sight of a dental chair makes us anxious. But once the dentist’s work is complete\, we really appreciate what they have done to ensure the health of our teeth. \nOn Dentist’s Day\, send your dentist a greeting card or congratulate them in person. And if you want to visit the dentist as rarely as possible\, start paying more attention to your daily dental care routine. But keep in mind\, that regular check-ups are still important even if your teeth seem okay. \n

SUMMARY:Employee Appreciation Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Employee Appreciation Day is a secular holiday in the USA and Canada\, that is annually celebrated on the first Friday in March. This holiday was established in 1995 by Bob Nelson\, a board member of the Recognition Professionals International\, previously National Association for Employee Recognition. \nEmployee Appreciation Day was created for all companies as the day\, when bosses can thank their employees for their hard work and effort throughout the year. Really good people are very hard to find\, that’s why using all manners and techniques to boost the staff is more efficient\, than spending money on constant training of new people. \nLike Boss’s Day\, this holiday also continues to gains recognition. As far as this is not a public holiday and people don’t have a day off\, the bosses can appreciate their employees in other ways. For example\, the employer can treat staff with a breakfast\, lunch or snacks\, organize an outdoor team building exercise or office party. \nProviding staff with additional day off is also a way to appreciate their work and strengthen the bond between employer and employees. \n

SUMMARY:World Book Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Marked in over 100 countries across the globe\, World Book Day is a UNESCO initiative that aims to celebrate both books and reading\, especially among younger members of our societies. In the UK and Ireland\, National Book Tokens are sent out so that kids can find a book of their very own  something to unlock the power of their minds in a way that the increasing prevalence of digital screens may not provide. \nFor what it’s worth\, World Book Day falls on the same date every year as St David’s Day\, so if you read a Welsh book on the first day of March every year\, you’d be doing justice to two great causes \n

SUMMARY:National Cereal Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Bowl of cereal is the best way to begin your day with. Today\, on March 7\, celebrate National Cereal Day. Did you know that until the end of 1890s people ate eggs and meat for breakfast? Of course\, today many do so\, but about 46% of Americans begin their day with a bowl of cereal with milk. \nThe first ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was invented in the U.S. by James Caleb Jackson in 1863 and it was called Granula. That cereal didn’t become popular as far as heavy bran and nuggets needed soaking overnight before they turned tender enough to eat. \nThe cereal that didn’t need soaking overnight was invented by John Harvey Kellogg\, who experimented with granola and wheat. He discovered a light and flaky product\, perfect for breakfast. He patented his invention in 1891 and launched the Cornflakes brand in 1895. The Cornflakes captured market and became very popular. \nToday any kind of cereal is often eaten with milk and yogurt. You can add some fruit to enrich its taste. But cereal can be also eaten dry as a light snack. \nIt doesn’t matter what kind of cereal you prefer for your breakfast\, today you should start your day with a bowl of cornflakes or any other wholegrain cereal. \n

SUMMARY:International Women's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Women’s Day celebrates the social\, cultural\, economic and political achievements of women across the globe. But far from singling out women\, the day focuses on unity\, equality and advocacy  especially in a world where the differences and injustices between women and men are as great as ever. \nOver 20 countries  particularly in Asia  celebrate it with a day off work for all\, while another three (including China) allow all women to take a day off. Although many people who seem to have a problem with the concept of International Women’s Day may think it’s a modern invention\, it’s anything but; its first official acknowledgement was back in 1911\, and became a cornerstone holiday in the Soviet Union from 1917 (even being a day off from work from 1965 onwards). Since 1977\, the United Nations has made it a focus day for both women’s rights and world peace. \nAnd before you ask  yes\, there is an International Men’s Day\, on November 19th. For what it’s worth\, you can enjoy Richard Herring (@Herring1967) respond to each and every Twitter user who asks this question over these 24 hours that women are celebrated. \n

SUMMARY:Panic Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Panic Day is an informal holiday celebrated each year on March 9. It is one of the copyrighted Wellcat Holidays invented by Thomas and Ruth Roy. \nPanic is a very unpleasant sensation that can lead to sad\, difficult and frightening consequences. Mass panic occurring during public events often results in injuries and even deaths. That is why in stressful situations people try to stay calm and take deep breaths to prevent panic. As written on the cover of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy\, Don’t Panic. \nHowever\, it is very difficult to refrain from panicking and stay calm all the time. Suppressed emotions may result in major freak outs and nervous breakdowns that occur at the worst possible moment. So blowing off some steam is highly recommended.That is why a special day has been set aside\, when we are free to freak out and run around all day in panic\, telling others we can’t handle it anymore. \nIt is unclear why Panic Day is celebrated on March 9\, but we guess this date is as suitable for panicking as any other day of the year.You can also use Panic Day for improving your techniques for dealing with panic and learning how to help people who are having a panic attack. These skills might come in handy one day. \n

SUMMARY:National No Smoking Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:No Smoking Day is an annual health awareness day in the United Kingdom which is intended to help smokers who want to quit smoking. The first No Smoking Day was on Ash Wednesday  in 1984\, and it now takes place on the second Wednesday in March. \nEach year\, the campaign is promoted with a theme in the form of a short phrase. In 2010\, this theme was “Break free”\, encouraging smokers to break free from the chains of cigarettes and quit on No Smoking Day. The 2011 theme was “Time to quit?”. Research conducted by GfK NOP following the 2009 campaign found that 1 in 10 smokers quit on No Smoking Day. \nThe campaign was run by a charity of the same name\, based in London with four full-time staff\, until this was merged with the British Heart Foundation in 2011. It is funded by a coalition of governmental and voluntary sector organisations with an interest in health. No Smoking Day’s most recent President was entrepreneur\, TV personality\, and anti-tobacco campaigner Duncan Bannatyne OBE. Bannatyne is an ex-smoker who publicly took on British American Tobacco at its AGM in April 2008. \n

SUMMARY:National Potato Chip Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:March 14 is National Potato Chip Day. Grab a bag of your favorite flavored potato chips to celebrate this day. Potato chips were invented in Saratoga Springs on August 24\, 1853. How come that we know the exact date? \nEverything is very simple. A tasty diner sent back his French fries to the chef of Moon Lake Lodge\, Greoge Crum. \nHe complained that his French fries were not sliced thin enough and were too soggy. Chef decided to fight back the customer\, that is why he sliced the potato wafer-thin\, fried in a boiling oil and over-salted it. \nPotato couldn’t be eaten with fork without shattering. And no gentleman at that time could allow picking food from plate with his fingers.Surprisingly\, Crums dish was rewarded with compliments to the chef. The customer loved his chips and other diners wanted the same dish. \nThin and crispy potatoes appeared in the menu of Moon Lake Lodge as Saratoga Chips\, house speciality. Soon chips were packaged and sold first locally\, and then throughout New England territory. \nChoose Regular\, Onion\, Sour Cream or Barbecue as the U.S. most popular potato chips flavor to celebrate this holiday! \n

SUMMARY:St Patricks Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:St Patrick’s most incredible feat was to banish each and every Irish snake into the sea after these unarmed reptiles conspired to attack him during his 40-day fast. As a result\, it might be surprising that St Patrick’s Day seems to revolve more around drinking alcohol than committing acts of animal abuse\, though in a modern society\, the latter is thankfully more socially unacceptable and illegal. \nIf you want to join in\, dress to the nines in green and hit your local pub. You can guarantee you won’t be more than ten paces from a standard-issue Guinness foam hat to celebrate the experience  an item usually thrown in as an incentive to drink a couple of pints of the black stuff out of respect for St Patrick himself. \n

DESCRIPTION:National Conversation Week 2019 is all about the simple\, pleasurable and rewarding pastime of simply talking to each other. \nWe’re very much a society that’s always on and\, unfortunately\, the art of human conversation is getting drowned in a sea of emojis\, swiping right (ask your single friends)\, chat bots and dwindling attention spans. \nWhether it’s keeping in touch with friends or updating a colleague at work\, most of us are guilty of hiding behind a screen to send a quick text\, fire off an email\, post a social media message or search on line rather than taking the time to actually speak with somebody. \nThat’s why we’re encouraging everyone in the UK to spend the week trying a little bit harder to engage with those around them be they a friend\, family member\, colleague or customer. \nWe’re not asking you to throw away your phone and we’re not trying to send the UK back to the 90s (although arguably the music was better!). \nWe simply want everyone to talk more \nSounds like something you want to be a part of? Great! Here’s how you can Get involved \n

SUMMARY:Spring Equinox (First Day of Spring) 2020
DESCRIPTION:This year in the northern hemisphere the Spring or Vernal Equinox falls on Wednesday 20th March 2019. The equinox marks the day when day and night are the same lengths all over the world\, with the word equinox literally meaning equal night‚in Latin. \nThe spring equinox marks the change of the seasons and as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt towards the sun\, our days start to get longer and our nights shorter. In the northern hemisphere\, we enjoy the arrival of spring and the promise of warmer days. To our friends in the southern hemisphere\, however\, this marks the changing of their seasons to autumn. \nThe equinox does not always fall on the same day each year due to the fact that the earth orbits the sun on a slightly elliptical path\, meaning that the spring equinox can happen on either the 19th\, 20th or 21st of March. Although many cultures celebrate the whole day as the equinox\, the equinox is\, in fact\, technically the specific point in time when the sun crosses the equator. \nIn the northern hemisphere\, the March equinox is traditionally celebrated as a time of rebirth with many different cultures celebrating spring holidays and festivals such as Easter and Passover around the time of the equinox. \n

SUMMARY:National Ravioli Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Ravioli is one of the most popular dishes among pasta lovers. If you love pasta then you’re almost definitively going to love pasta stuffed; is there anything better? Ravioli lovers are going to together on the 20th of March to celebrate National Ravioli Day\, why don’t you join us! \nThe first mention of ravioli dates back to the 14th century in the writings of Italian merchant Fransecro di Marco. Before people began to get more creative ravioli were filled with minced blanched green herbs mixed with beaten egg\, and fresh cheese\, and is still popular today. Some may even say that Pop Tarts are a form of sweet ravioli\, although you’ll have to come along to join that heated debate. \nRavioli can be canned or frozen\, although many Italians may describe the act as heretic. Italians love filling their ravioli with ricotta\, spinach\, nutmeg and black pepper\, but ravioli flavoured with seafood\, meat\, vegetables or cheese are also very popular. \nNot only the Italians have a passion for stuffing various flour based mediums with flavourful fillings. The popular Indian dish Gujiya is prepared with sweet filling of fruit\, sugar and sweet spices mixture\, then deep fried and served as a desert. Samosas can also be considered similar to ravioli\, but instead stuffed with meat\, potato\, peas and served with sweet and sour sauce. \nSo come along on the 20th of March and celebrate everyone’s favourite stuffed pasta\, just be careful bringing up Pop Tarts! \n

SUMMARY:AIDS Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:March 20th is National Native HIV/AIDS Awareness Day\, where we pay particular focus to raising awareness\, overcoming stigmas and encouraging testing for HIV and Aids in Native communities in the United States. This presents opportunities for Native Americans\, Alaskans and Hawaiians to learn more about HIV/AIDS and to promote testing and counselling where necessary. \nThe day appropriately coincides with the spring equinox\, celebrated in many Native communities as a symbol of new beginnings. It was chosen specifically for this reason as it is an opportunity for positive change through awareness and prevention. \nThis institution was started in 2007 by HIV.gov to promote awareness and provide resources to Native communities after several studies identified them to be a high risk group in need of assistance. Risks of HIV in these communities can be heightened by a general lack of health care provisions and mental health assistance\, as well as societal stigmas surrounding homosexuality\, high rates of alcohol and drug use and general misinformation. This has led to estimates of up to a quarter of cases of Native people who are infected with HIV or AIDS being unaware that they have it. \nThere are various ways to participate in observing NNHAAD\, including visiting HIV.gov or other educational resources to learn more on the subject\, getting a routine test for HIV\, sharing information about HIV and AIDS prevention\, or raising money by supporting or organising an event to spread awareness. \n

SUMMARY:World Down Syndrome Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Down Syndrome Day (also known as WDSD) is a global awareness initiative that has been backed by the United Nations since 2012. \nIt has been spearheaded by Down Syndrome International\, which has linked up with national charities across the world to develop activities and events to raise awareness and support for those living with Down syndrome. It also highlights the facts of what it’s like to have Down syndrome\, and how those with Down syndrome have\, and continue to play\, a vital role in our communities. \nThe date itself has been selected for very clever reasons; it is held on the 21st day of the 3rd month\, which is a hat-tip to the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which leads to Down syndrome.\nLet’s get people talking about WDSD on 21 March 2019! How? By wearing #LotsOfSocks!\n…wear our official #LotsOfSocks socks\, other brightly coloured socks\, long socks\, printed socks\, 1 sock even 3 socks for 3 chromosomes. If you do not normally wear socks\, then wear them. And why stop at socks? Wear our #LotsOfSocks t-shirts\, WDSD t-shirts and other brightly coloured clothing. \n

SUMMARY:World Poetry Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Poetry reaffirms our common humanity by revealing to us that individuals\, everywhere in the world\, share the same questions and feelings. Poetry is the mainstay of oral tradition and\, over centuries\, can communicate the innermost values of diverse cultures. \nIn celebrating World Poetry Day\, March 21\, UNESCO recognizes the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind. \nA decision to proclaim 21 March as World Poetry Day was adopted during UNESCO’s 30th session held in Paris in 1999. \nOne of the main objectives of the Day is to support linguistic diversity through poetic expression and to offer endangered languages the opportunity to be heard within their communities. \nThe observance of World Poetry Day is also meant to encourage a return to the oral tradition of poetry recitals\, to promote the teaching of poetry\, to restore a dialogue between poetry and the other arts such as theatre\, dance\, music and painting\, and to support small publishers and create an attractive image of poetry in the media\, so that the art of poetry will no longer be considered an outdated form of art\, but one which enables society as a whole to regain and assert its identity. \n

SUMMARY:National French Bread Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:It’s National French Bread Day on the 21st March. Why not bake a loaf of French bread to celebrate? There are many kinds of French bread\, but the most popular one is the baguette. It’s adored for its crispy exterior and soft interior. You might find this surprising\, but the dough recipe\, as well as the length and width of the ever popular loaf\, is enshrined in the law of France. That’s why the taste never changes. This is one law which gets the thumbs up from me. \nYou might find this hard to believe (I did)\, but the baguette was unknown until the dawn of the last century. French bakers always worked throughout the night to ensure fresh bread to the public in the morning. But in 1920\, a law was passed disallowing shifts from starting before 4 am. \nThis change in the laws of the land left the French bakers very little time to prepare the bread\, so they did some experimenting and ultimately invented the baguette. This bread baked in less time. The French public took this new bread to their hearts. It was a huge success. And of course\, it’s now part and parcel of French life. \nBesides the baguette\, there is a large variety of much-loved bread in France. There’s the ever-popular croissant\, as well as numerous others. So\, celebrate this special day with gusto by baking your own loaf of French bread. Enjoy with the whole family and say Vive La France’. \n

SUMMARY:National Skipping Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:This will be the seventeenth annual National Skipping Day organised by Skipping Workshops. We usually have around 250 schools & 50\,000 children taking part. (the record is 262 schools and just over 62\,000 children!). The main theme in 2019 will a national attempt at 15 million skips on the day! The arithmetic?…. we hope to have 150 schools from across the UK taking part\, with an average of 100 children per school. Each child will be set the challenge of managing a grand total of 1000 skipping during the day ( it should take between 15 -20 minutes). The average for each school would be 100\,000 skips .. so the national target will be 150 x 100 x 100\,000 = 15 million! Skipping Workshops is preparing a simple one-side-of-A4 guide. This will give a range of ideas as to how the day might be organised as well as a suggested score sheet for the children to collate their individual scores. There will also be ideas as to how to involve younger children who are new to skipping. If your school wishes to take part in this national event\, please return the form below to Skipping Workshops. Please tick the appropriate space if you want us to send you the guide. Please note\, this is a just for fun‚event; there is no registration fee\, no fund-raising and no prizes. It is simply an attempt to encourage thousands of children to have some healthy exercise through skipping. If you wish to participate\, please return the form below to Skipping Workshops\, as soon as possible.

SUMMARY:National Chip and Dip Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:There is nothing as satisfying as giving your palate an experience it will never forget. However\, if the palate experience happens once a year well\, it is worth the wait. The chip and dip national event existed in the early years but gained popularity in the 1950s. The event became an annual celebration with March 23 being the official day for a chip and dip party. \nThe first dips to come into existence were the hummus and olive oil. The first two dips had their origin in the Middle East and the Mediterranean regions. Despite\, the ancient history of dips they continue gaining popularity today. However\, modern dips are different from traditional dips. Current dips consist of the following cheese\, guacamole\, and salsa. You can also use Ketchup or mayo if you do not have time to prepare a unique dip. \nDips are a perfect accompaniment for all kinds of chips\, potato\, tortilla\, and corn. You can also serve pretzels with a savory dip. However\, such an accompaniment was not quite popular in the United States until the 1940s. The popularity of chips and dips began after the Great Depression. \nFood expenses were not affordable by the middle-class families. To make a substitute for this\, they came up with the easy to prepare and cheap chips and dips\, which ultimately became a go-to party meal. However\, the most exciting fact about the first chip and dip was that the first bowl set used was a glass one \n

In the year 2012\, a total of 8.6 million people were sick with TB; 1.3 million people died from the infectious disease\, these were mostly people in the Third World. The World TB Day is one of the 8 official campaigns for global public health marked by WHO (World Health Organization). \nThe day celebrates the day in the year 1882\, the time when Dr Robert Koch shocked the scientific community by making an announcement to a small scientist group that he had discovered tuberculosis cause\, the TB bacillus. During announcement by Koch in Berlin\, tuberculosis was raging through the Americas and Europe. In every seven people that died\, one of them had died because of TB. The discovery of Koch paved the way toward diagnosing as well as curing tuberculosis. \nBill Clinton\, the former U.S president\, marked the 2000 World TB Day by administering the DOTS (Directly Observed Therapy\, Short-Course) recommended by WHO to patients at the Hyderabad\, India-based Mahavir Hospital. Clinton stated that these are economic calamities\, human tragedies\, and much more than crises for anyone\, they’re crises for the whole world. The spread of TB is a worldwide problem and no nation is immuned. \nToday\, a network of organisations\, the Stop TB Partnership and nations fighting tuberculosis organises the World TB Day to highlight the disease scope and how it can be prevented and cured. \n

SUMMARY:Purple Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Originating in Canada\, Purple Day was invented by the incredible Cassidy Megan\, a young girl who created the initiative in 2008 after getting motivated by the struggles she had with epilepsy. It’s a simple affair: you’re encouraged to wear purple and raise awareness for the cause! \nOriginally\, the initiative started out on a small level; Cassidy’s idea was picked up\, and then supported\, by the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia in 2008. Since then\, it has taken on a whole new level\, and in the UK alone\, it’s backed by no fewer than eight charities  including Epilepsy Action\, Epilepsy Research and the Epilepsy Society. \nPurple Day – international epilepsy day – returns on Tuesday 26 March 2019\, and here at Young Epilespy\, we want to make it the biggest yet. \nDid you know that 87 people are diagnosed with epilepsy every day? \nEpilepsy can affect anyone\, anytime\, anyplace and can change lives in a moment. \nTo help raise funds and awareness tell us what your purple moment will be this Purple Day. It could be a purple cake bake\, purple plod\, purple plunge\, purple dress down\, purple hair day or turn your school\, town or office purple. \nDownload your FREE fundraising pack today. For more ideas and fundraising materials including balloons\, banners and t-shirts email  fundraising@youngepilepsy.org.uk today or call 01342 831245. \n

SUMMARY:National Vietnam War Veterans Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Vietnam War Veterans Day is celebrated on March 29th in the US and was recently made a recognized annual holiday in 2017 when it was signed into law by President Trump. March 29th is the day that the last of the troops were withdrawn in 1973. \nThis is a separate holiday from Veterans Day which is celebrated on November 11th\, that marks the end of the First World War. \nThe war originally started as a civil war between North Vietnam and the South Vietnam Government. The North Vietnamese Army was supported by communist allies such as the Soviet Union and China and the South Vietnamese Army was supported by anti – communist Allies such as the US\, Australia and South Korea. \nCitizens are encouraged to fly the US flag in honor of those who served in the Vietnam war as a way to thank the veterans and all those who made sacrifices during one of the longest wars in US history lasting almost 20 years. \nSome may wonder why it took 44 years for the troops to be celebrated\, but due to the huge number of casualties and domestic controversy a large part of the US population became opposed to the war. \n

SUMMARY:International Dark-Sky Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Join the International Dark-Sky Association for seven days of celebration\, learning\, and action! \n2019 International Dark Sky Week is Sunday\, March 31  Sunday\, April 7!  \nCreated in 2003 by high-school student Jennifer Barlow\, International Dark Sky Week has grown to become a worldwide event and a key component of Global Astronomy Month. Each year it is held in April around Astronomy Day. This year celebrations begin on Sunday\, March 31\, and run through Saturday\, April 7 (click here for resources to use during the week). \nIn explaining why she started the week\, Barlow said\, I want people to be able to see the wonder of the night sky without the effects of light pollution. The universe is our view into our past and our vision into the future.  I want to help preserve its wonder. \nInternational Dark Sky Week draws attention to the problems associated with light pollution and promotes simple solutions available to mitigate it. \nAlso read 5 Ways to Celebrate Dark Sky Week! \nLight Pollution Matters \nThe nighttime environment is a crucial natural resource for all life on Earth\, but the glow of uncontrolled outdoor lighting has hidden the stars\, radically changing the nighttime environment. \nBefore the advent of electric light in the 20th century\, our ancestors experienced a night sky brimming with stars that inspired science\, religion\, philosophy\, art and literature including some of Shakespeare’s most famous sonnets. \nThe common heritage of a natural night sky is rapidly becoming unknown to the newest generations. In fact\, millions of children across the globe will never see the Milky Way from their own homes. \nWe are only just beginning to understand the negative repercussions of losing this natural resource. A growing body of research suggests that the loss of the natural nighttime environment is causing serious harm to human health and the environment. \nFor nocturnal animals in particular\, the introduction of artificial light at night could very well be the most devastating change humans have made to their environment. Light pollution also has deleterious effects on other organisms such as migrating birds\, sea turtle hatchlings\, and insects. \nHumans are not immune to the negative effects of light in their nighttime spaces. Excessive exposure to artificial light at night\, particularly blue light\, has been linked to increased risks for obesity\, depression\, sleep disorders\, diabetes and breast cancer. \n

SUMMARY:Bowel Cancer Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:April’s Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is a fantastic annual event set aside to increase awareness of bowel cancer and raise funds towards treating this condition. It is driven by various charitable organisations including the Beating Bowel Cancer and Bowel Cancer UK\, who have merged with the main aim of ensuring that there would be no victim of Bowel Cancer by 2050. \nJust to mention\, Bowel Cancer is the second biggest UK’s killer cancer. This shouldn’t be the case since it is treatable and curable\, especially when diagnosed at an early stage. Early diagnosis for Bowel Cancer and any other type of cancer saves lives. This is the reason why April has been set aside to educate the public and raise awareness of Bowel Cancer symptoms. \nSome of the common symptoms of bowel cancer include: \n 	Bleeding from the bottom and blood in poo\n 	Persistent and unexplained change in bowel habit\n 	Sudden and unexplained weight loss\n 	Being easily fatigued with no obvious reason or cause\n 	Pain or a lump in the tummy \nHow to be involved;\nYou can get involved in this campaign through various ways. The first way is for you as an individual to learn about the symptoms of bowel cancer. This will be the starting point\, from which you can spread the word. If you have suffered from this condition before\, you can also share your story to help encourage support those facing bowel cancers. \nThe other way is by making donations for research and lifesaving works aimed at stopping bowel cancer. \n

SUMMARY:404 Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:It is very common to see a 404 page not found error‚appear on your screen. It could be that the page you are looking for no longer exists\, but if you are accessing the Internet through a public library or a public school\, it is equally likely that a content filter is blocking you. \nPublic schools and libraries attract federal funding if they comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA)\, by applying content filters to block websites or pages which are considered harmful to minors or containing obscene material. \nThe Electronic Frontier Foundation wants to raise awareness of the over-aggressive use of Internet filters by such institutions. It is quite common for websites with crucial health information or educational and artistic material to be blocked. In previous years 404 awareness day has seen EFF hold on line teach-ins and offering to post experiences of page blocking\, on to their site. \nCurrently\, various states are trying to pass legislation to have obscenity filters pre-fitted to all computers\, cell phones\, tablets and other devices with Internet connectivity. They also want a payment of $20 to remove the filter for each individual device. EFF see this as a direct attack on U.S. citizens freedom to use the Internet. \n404 awareness day is also about defending your first amendment rights to privacy and free speech. The innocuous 404 error message can have a hidden agenda\, censorship. Get involved raise awareness and participate\, April 4th\, The U.S. 404 awareness day. \n

On this date\, massive pillow fights will take place in cities around the world including London\, New York\, Rotterdam and Seattle\, to name just a few. \nThe first World Pillow Fight day took place in March 2008\, and since then the movement has grown with pillow fighting flash mobs fighting it out in more and more cities every year\, all just in the name of fun. \nIt may all be a bit of fun\, but there are still some rules involved. These can vary from city to city so make sure to check them out before jumping in. Some common rules are:\n Swing lightly.\n Do not swing at people without pillows.\n Do not swing at people with cameras.\n Soft pillows only!\n Bring a bag to help with clean up after.\n Some pillow fight organisers request that you do not use feather pillows due to animal welfare concerns whereas some actively encourage the use of feather pillows describing it as more fun. If you are unsure of the pillow rules of the event that you plan to attend then the best option is synthetic. \nIf you would like to get involved or organise your own pillow fighting flash mob more information can be found at www.pillowfightday.com. \n

SUMMARY:Tartan Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Tartan Day is a Scottish heritage celebration on 6 April. This day is the date when the Declaration of Arbroath signing took place in 1320. On this day\, Scotland got its independence from England\, and they were capable of using military action when attacked. \nOn 6 April 2004\, in Scotland\, Angus Council\, whose area includes Arbroath\, organised the first-ever Tartan Day festival. It has since joined the other regional councils in trying to promote its potential as a worldwide celebration. \nAlthough this day is a Scottish custom\, it is celebrated in other countries as well. In 1982\, ad hoc event was seen in New York City. Later in the nineties\, the modern form of the observation spread to other Scottish diaspora communities. Today\, Argentina\, the United States\, New Zealand\, Canada as well as Scotland celebrate the Tartan Day. \nIn Australia\, the same International Tartan Day takes place on 1 July\, which is the anniversary of the Act of Proscription repeal in 1747 that banned tartan wearing. Typically\, Tartan Days have Highland dancing\, parades of pipe bands plus other Scottish-themed events. \nArgentina has approximately 100\,000 people of Scottish ancestry\, the largest such community that is outside the world of people who speak English as their first language. The parade of Scottish porteños Tartan Day was introduced in Buenos Aires\, the Capital city of Argentina\, on 6 April 2006. \nThe Scottish Argentine Society organises the event every year. A symbolic key to Arbroath Abbey gate is carried\, marking the date in 1320\, which inspired this celebration. The day is celebrated in Newzealand on a local basis and takes place on 1 July or the nearest Sunday. \n

SUMMARY:World Health Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day’s message is simple: giving people access to healthcare without the prospect of financial hardship. This is regardless of where they’re from; they could be in Africa\, Asia\, South America or the United States. What matters to the World Health Organisation (WHO)\, the group behind it\, is that there’s Health for All. \nIt has its reasons\, too. The WHO asserts\, following countless studies\, that countries which invest in universal healthcare will make a sound investment in their human capital; indeed\, access to a very bottom line of care and financial protection will not only truly improve someone’s health and life expectancy\, but also protects countries from epidemics\, reduces poverty and the risk of hunger\, creates jobs\, drives economic growth and enhances gender equality. \nThat’s quite the ideal to push towards\, and a day that ought to be celebrated as much as any other on our calendar! \n

SUMMARY:Parkinson's Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Parkinson’s Awareness Week surrounds World Parkinson’s Day\, which takes place this year on Wednesday\, April 10th. Each year\, charity Parkinson’s UK continues its incredible work to ensure that they use the event to reach more people that are affected by the condition  directly or through a loved one  and raise funds to provide better treatments\, through ever more vital research. \nParkinson’s disease is indiscriminate.

SUMMARY:National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day is observed annually on April 9. \nThis day was introduced to honor American veterans of any wars that returned home after being released from prisons. The date of April 9 was chosen to commemorate the same day in 1942\, when United States forces were surrendered by the Imperial Japanese Army on the Bataan Peninsula\, beginning the Bataan Death March. All survivors were loaded to a box train and brought to the Camp O’Donnell. During the march prisoners were physically abused that caused their death. \nThe actions of Japanese Army were later judged to be a Japanese war crime. National Former POW Recognition Day had been observed from 1942 to 1976 on national level\, but later only some states held commemorative services. Memorial marches took place at New Mexico and Minnesota\, memorial service was held at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii. Due to the President Barack Obama’s initiatives\, and continuation by President Trump\, this day is observed on federal level. \n

SUMMARY:National Siblings Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Siblings day\, usually held on the 10th of April is a holiday that celebrates siblings relationships. April 10th is fast approaching\, and you should probably be calling your siblings to hatch up a plan on how to spend the day. Siblings are an incredible gift from God and anyone who has a brother or sister should not let the day just pass by without celebrating them. \nUnfortunately\, siblings day is not recognized by federal governments and the day is therefore not necessarily a national holiday. That means you’ll have to wake up and get to work just like any other day. However\, that is not a reason not to celebrate it. You can always take time off your busy schedule and get together with your siblings for some quality time. \nAmerica has been proactive in trying to get the day recognized as a national holiday by federal governments. 49 states in the United States have been in the forefront pushing for this agenda. India and Australia have also made inroads in getting the day marked appropriately. \nThe siblings day organization has also made tremendous efforts to get this important holiday recognized. The holiday is an invention of one Claudia Evart\, who invented it in a bid to celebrate the lives of her sister and brother who had died while still young.It is not every day that we get to be with our siblings especially when we grow up. Get involved in the national siblings day and take time to appreciate your brother or sister. You can join the conversation about siblings day through the hashtag #NationalSiblingsDay \n

SUMMARY:Siblings Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Siblings Day (also National Siblings Day) is observed annually on April 10. \nThis day was created to honor the siblings relations\, which are known as the most long-lasting ones. Claudia Evart founded the Siblings Day Foundation in 1997. She wanted to honor her brother and sister who passed away when they were children. \nThe first observation of Siblings Day was held in 1998 and in 1999 the foundation achieved non-profit status. 39 states recognized Siblings Day in 1998 and celebrate it annually. \nOn April 6\, 2005\, the holiday was officially introduced into the Congressional Record of the United States Congress by Carolyn Maloney. Unlike Father’s Day and Mother’s Day this holiday isn’t federally recognized. The Siblings Day Foundation is working to change this and one day this holiday will be observed in every state.Siblings Day is intended to be a celebration of relationships of sisters and brothers. \nAs far as 79% of all children the U.S. have siblings\, this holiday is very important for every family. Celebrate Siblings Day sending a loving gift or flowers to you brother or sister and invite them over for dinner. This will remind you and your siblings\, how important you are to each other. \n

SUMMARY:International FND Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:International FND Awareness Day 2019 is on April 13th. Organised by FND Hope\, the day is to raise awareness and funding for Functional Neurological Disease(FND). \nFND is a condition which affects neurological\, functional and motor processes and is an illness that as yet is not fully understood\, nor are the causes. \nFND patients sometimes have the added pain of being treated as malingerers along with their other symptoms\, as it is an invisible illness with the source and cause hard to pinpoint. Which is why it is important to raise awareness of the condition and raise funds for research of the condition. This is why International FND Awareness Day is important. \nPeople suffering FND have to endure a range of crippling and upsetting symptoms\, with no way of knowing why\, and with no known cure and very little effective treatment. Patients have to adjust their lives to the symptoms and the fluctuations of symptoms\, which can leave them isolated and unhappy and struggling with everyday life. There is a range of symptoms for example incontinence\, muscle problems\, pain\, sleep\, cognition and vision issues\, and each individual is affected differently. \nInternational FND Day enables people with the condition to share their stories and raise awareness\, alongside friends\, family and medical professionals who can hold fundraising and awareness raising events for much needed research and support. Social Media is also used to raise awareness of FND on International FND Awareness Day. \n

SUMMARY:Thomas Jefferson's Birthday 2020
DESCRIPTION:April 13 is Thomas Jefferson’s Birthday\, the third President of the USA. He is considered as an American Founding Father and the author of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13\, 1743. He had a prominent career as a politician. \nHe was a spokesman for democracy\, represented Virginia in the Continental Congress\, embraced the position of Governor of Virginia\, served as the U.S. Minister to France and was the United States Secretary of State. \nPerhaps Jefferson’s most famous and biggest achievement was his contribution to the Declaration of Independence\, being the principal author\, proclaiming all 13 colonies to be independent sovereign states no longer governed by the British Empire. \nDuring Jefferson’s presidency\, he slashed military expenditures\, cut the budget\, and eliminated the tax on whiskey\, while simultaneously reducing the national debt by over 30%.  Thomas Jefferson died in 1826 at the age of 83. Jefferson served his country for over 50 years of his life as a public official\, historian\, and philosopher. \nWhilst Jefferson is widely considered to be one of the worlds most liberal politicians and achieved much change and improvement in the lives of Americans throughout his life\, he has also come under scrutiny due to his dependace upon slavery and his beliefs that American Society remain a white mans domain.  Clearly this contradiction of character and ideology has caused many to question his liberal beliefs and subsequently turned Jefferson into a paradoxical hero. \nA much documented and commented upon life (even appearing in hit musical Hamilton!)\, one thing that Thomas Jeffersons time on this earth did leave us with\, were the many inspiring and philisophical quotes; this being one of our favourites. \nWe hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness. \nLove him or loathe him\, we definitely think he has a point don’t you? \n  \n. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Pan American Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:April 14 is Pan American Day\, a holiday that commemorates the First International Conference of American States. \nPan American Day originated in a resolution adopted by the Governing Board of the Pan American Union on May 7\, 1930. \nThe very first Pan American Day was observed on April 14\, 1931 and it was introduced by the International Union of American Republics\, a forerunner to the Organization of American States (AOS)\, as the commemorative day of creation of the Commercial Bureau of American Republics on April 14\, 1890. \nAOS was subsequently founded on April 30\, 1948 with the goal to strengthen peace and security\, prevent possible causes of difficulties\, seek solution to any political\, judicial and economical problems\, limit conventional weapons\, promote economic\, cultural and social development. \nThis holiday is observed by the countries of North and South America and it’s a great occasion of all Americans throughout the Western Hemisphere to strengthen their bonds and unite within 24 American nations. In some states of America it’s a national holiday (e.g. Honduras\, Costa Rica\, Uruguay\, Nicaragua). \nThe USA observes Pan American Day by Presidential proclamation. The entire week\, on which the holiday falls\, is observed as Pan American Week. \n

SUMMARY:National Ferry Fortnight 2020
DESCRIPTION:Britain’s annual National Ferry Fortnight last year took place from 14 to 28 April 2018. Last year reaching its tenth year\, National Ferry Fortnight is run by Discover Ferries\, the industry body for the ferry sector\, as a two-week showcase of Britain’s extensive 75-plus ferry routes and the benefits of travel by sea. \nThe 2018 Discover Ferries‚National Ferry Fortnight campaign theme was to take your passion with you highlighting that ferry travel is an enabler for people to follow their own personal enthusiasms whether that’s taking bikes\, motorbikes\, pets\, large groups of friends or families\, golf clubs\, skis\, surfboards\, caravans and motorhomes overseas. It also enables wildlife enthusiasts to spot marine wildlife from the deck of the ferry or helps food and wine lovers to bring back a vehicle full of wines\, boutique gins\, craft beers or gourmet delicacies. Discover Ferries will be sharing advice about taking vehicles or equipment on holiday and inspirational trips for great journeys. \nDuring National Ferry Fortnight 2018 Discover Ferries‚members published great ideas for holidays on ferry routes to Belgium\, France\, Holland\, within London\, Spain\, Ireland\, Isle of Wight\, Isle of Man\, Isles of Scilly and Scottish islands. The members of Discover Ferries are Brittany Ferries\, Caledonian MacBrayne\, DFDS Seaways\, Irish Ferries\, Isle Of Man Steam Packet Company\, Isles of Scilly Steamship Group\, MBNA Thames Clippers\, P&O Ferries\, Red Funnel\, Stena Line and Wightlink. \nEmma Batchelor Discover Ferries Director said: There are more than 38 million passenger journeys by ferry every year with hundreds of families\, couples and friends\, walking\, cycling or driving onto ferries to enjoy the freedom of a great value\, independent holiday. It’s our job to encourage people who’ve not yet considered a ferry holiday\, or not for some time\, to look again and understand why it’s so popular. \nFerry companies have invested heavily in recent years to introduce gleaming new ships full of fabulous facilities such as comfortable ensuite cabins\, children’s play areas or restaurants serving delicious food\, so people can have a great travel experience as part of their holiday. And just this year we announced that more than a billion pounds is being invested by ferry companies for even more new ships and port facilities in the future. National Ferry Fortnight will be a celebration of all the ways ferry travel allows holidaymakers to take their own passions away with them -whether that’s a mountain bike\, snowboard or favourite pet! \n  \n

SUMMARY:World Voice Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:WVD (World Voice Day) is a global annual event held on 16 April dedicated to the phenomenon of voice celebration. The aim is to show the enormous value of the voice in the people’s daily lives. Voice is an important aspect of healthy and effective communication. The WVD brings worldwide awareness of the necessity of preventing voice issues\, training the artistic voice\, rehabilitating the sick or deviant voice as well as researching the application and function of the voice. \nThe World Voice Day goal is to encourage people using their voice for pleasure or business to learn how they can take care of their voice plus know how they can seek help as well as training and also support research that is carried on the voice. The production of voice is normally studied and applied in lots of disciplines like biology\, art\, phonetics\, psychology\, physics\, music\, speech-language pathology and medicine. \nThe idea to dedicate a special day\, annually on 16 April to the voice was first launched in the year 1999 by the Society of Laryngology & Voice in Brazil. In 2002\, Professor Mario Andre\, the Portuguese laryngologist\, then the European Laryngological Society president\, suggested that people all over the world should celebrate World Voice Day. \nThat idea was developed further and adopted in different nations. In 2012\, Dr Filipa L√£ from Portugal\, Prof. Tecumseh Fitch from Austria and Prof. Johan Sundberg from Sweden\, who were all voice researchers\, invited voice experts from several nations to form a global group for the World Voice Day celebration. Currently\, the group has 66 members; these members initiate\, as well as help\, coordinate the World Voice Day events in their respective nations. In 2016\, over 700 events were held. \n

SUMMARY:Education and Sharing Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:What is Education and Sharing Day 2019 and when is it?\nFounded by President Jimmy Carter in 1978\, Education and Sharing Day 2019 is on April 16th\, and is an annual USA day of observance. \nEducation and Sharing Day was founded in honour of\, and on the 80th Birthday of\, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson\, commonly known as ‘The Rebbe’\, who was considered to be one of the greatest 20th Century spiritual leaders. \nEducation and Sharing Day falls on the 11th of the Jewish month of Nissan each year\, and as the Jewish and Gregorian Calendars are different and don’t synchronize\, the date of Education and Sharing Day on the Western Calendar is different each year\, but it is usually during March or April. \nEducation and Sharing Day honours the Rabbi’s commitment to improving Judaism and mankind through culture and education\, especially by founding centres for culture\, education and socialisation for young Jewish people. These centres are known as Chabad Houses\, and are mainly located on or near university campuses. Chabad houses are still going strong and providing community and culture for Jewish Students. \nBut Shneerson’s work wasn’t limited to Jewish youth\, he made a significant contribution to the education and betterment of the population in general. And that is also honoured on Education and Sharing Day. \nEducation and Sharing Day is marked by events and parades\, some parades are quite big and well known\, for example the parade in Crown Heights\, Brooklyn\, New York\, which is run by Tzivos Hashem (Jewish Child International). \n

SUMMARY:World Haemophilia Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Hemophilia Day was started by the World Federation of Hemophilia (WHF) and is annually observed on 17th April. The international community started observing WHD in 1989 and April 17 was chosen to recognize Frank Schnabel’s  the founder of WHF  birthday. World Hemophilia Day is aimed at raising awareness about hemophilia and other bleeding disorders. It also helps to raise funds for patients who cannot afford hemophilia treatment as well as attract volunteers for the World Federation of Hemophilia. \nStatistics show that hemophilia A occurs in 1 out of 5\,000 male births and about 400 babies are born with the disorder annually. Additionally\, an estimated 400\,000 people around the world have hemophilia. About 75% of these people are unable to access adequate treatment or have no access to treatment completely. While there is no cure for this bleeding disorder\, there are very effective treatment options available. \nThe 29th World Hemophilia Day focuses on the importance of educating hemophilia patients and the general public about bleeding disorders. The day will also emphasize the importance of proper hemophilia care and treatment. This will be achieved through media events\, awareness campaigns\, and a host of activities held around the world. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Good Friday 2020
DESCRIPTION:Good Friday is a Christian religious holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday\, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday\, Great Friday\, Black Friday\, or Easter Friday\, though the last term properly refers to the Friday in Easter week. \nGood Friday is a widely-instituted legal holiday in many national governments around the world\, including in most Western countries(especially among Anglican and Catholic nations) as well as in 12 U.S. states. Some governments\, such as Germany\, have laws prohibiting certain acts\, such as dancing and horse racing\, that are seen as profaning the solemn nature of the day \n

SUMMARY:Easter Sunday 2020
DESCRIPTION:The week before Easter is called Holy Week\, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum\, including Maundy Thursday\, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper\, as well as Good Friday\, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In western Christianity\, Eastertide\, the Easter Season\, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks\, ending with the coming of the fiftieth day\, Pentecost Sunday. In Orthodoxy\, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day\, the Feast of the Ascension. \nEaster and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Juliancalendars which follow only the cycle of the sun; rather\, its date is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established two rules\, independence of the Jewish calendar and worldwide uniformity\, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice\, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. It has come to be the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or soonest after 21 March\, but calculations vary in East and West. Details of this complicated computation are found below in the section Date. \nEaster is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism\, as well as by its position in the calendar. In many languages\, the words for “Easter” and “Passover” are identical or very similar. Easter customs vary across the Christian world\, and includesunrise services\, exclaiming the Paschal greeting\, clipping the church\, and decorating Easter eggs\, a symbol of the empty tomb. The Easter lily\, a symbol of the resurrection\, traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide. Additional customs that have become associated with Easter and are observed by both Christians and some non-Christians include egg hunting\, the Easter Bunny\, and Easter parades. There are also various traditionalEaster foods that vary regionally. \n

SUMMARY:International Mother Earth Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Mother Earth Day is celebrated to remind each of us that the Earth and its ecosystems provide us with life and sustenance. \nIt also recognizes a collective responsibility\, as called for in the 1992 Rio Declaration\, to promote harmony with nature and the Earth to achieve a just balance among the economic\, social and environmental needs of present and future generations of humanity. \nInternational Mother Earth Day provides an opportunity to raise public awareness around the world to the challenges regarding the well-being of the planet and all the life it supports. \nEducation is the foundation for progress. We need to build a global citizenry fluent in the concepts of climate change and aware of its unprecedented threat to our planet. We need to empower everyone with the knowledge to inspire action in defense of environmental protection. \nEnvironmental and climate literacy is the engine not only for creating green voters and advancing environmental and climate laws and policies but also for accelerating green technologies and jobs. \n

SUMMARY:National Stationery Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:If you think this is a celebration of not moving\, then your spelling needs a bit of work  National Stationery Week is all about cheerleading the act of writing by hand\, and encouraging people from all around the globe to share details of their favourite pens\, pencils\, sharpeners\, and whatever fills their pencil cases. If they have one. It’s certainly an odd get-together\, but one that may be taking advantage of a shift in trends that may force people to abandon the venture of handwriting altogether. \nIn a world where people like us are typing this on a keyboard instead of writing it by hand\, it might be quite a good initiative; for all we know\, handwriting may be a trade as dead as lamp-lighting\, town crying or door-to-door sales. So\, get your Staedtler Noris school pencils\, your Helix 30cm rulers and your Bic for Her range of comfortable\, female-friendly medium ballpoint pens\, and go wild for a week. \n

SUMMARY:National Stop Snoring Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Snoring noise and sleep disturbance – is it a threat to our health? \nThe sound of snoring is irritating and annoying and can lead to sleep deprivation for the bed partner. But the noise of snoring can also cause a number of health problems. \nWe all know how it feels if we have not had a good night’s sleep – we feel tired and sleepy all day\, bad tempered\, lacking concentration\, and generally irritable. Bed partners who are disturbed every night by snoring they experience these symptoms every day. \nThe noise level that starts to have an effect on sleep is around 40dB. The noise of snoring can range from about 50dB to 100+dB\, and research has consistently found that when exposed to noise at these levels\, it can have a negative effect on all areas of our wellbeing. \nNoise at night has become a major problem\, and many people consider that a good night’s sleep is a basic human entitlement essential for maintaining good health. Indeed\, sleep is so important that the World Health Organisation (WHO) document several categories of adverse health and social effects from noise. \nSleep disturbance\, hearing impairment\, daytime functioning\, mental health problems\, cognitive issues and negative social behaviour can be symptoms of being subjected to loud noise over a period of time. Sleep deprivation can also have a negative impact on body systems such as hormonal release\, glucose regulation and cardiovascular function\, leading to overall poor health. \nEvidence has shown that the louder the noise\, the worse the sleep. The quality of the noise is also an issue. Some noises can be subjectively annoying whilst others of the same level are not. It is well know that the noise of snoring is one that cannot be tolerated for long without disrupted sleep. \nSome bed partners who sleep with their snorer every night try to sleep through the noise and ignore it. However\, it has been shown that although you may sleep through the night\, the quality of sleep will be much reduced and you will not feel as refreshed in the morning as you should. Noise tends to reduce our deep refreshing sleep to more shallow sleep\, and will also reduce dreaming sleep. It is well documented that bed partners of snorers have been found to be at risk of hearing loss due to continuous noise exposure. \nOther partners find themselves re-locating to the spare room in the middle of the night in order to get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. Many of them have feelings of guilt in leaving the bedroom – but they have a right to a good night’s sleep. Nevertheless\, the stress of the situation can put a great strain on the health and relationship of both partners. \n 	So how can these issues be resolved?\n 	The snorer must acknowledge the problem and take steps to resolve it. Snoring will not go away – it will only get worse if not addressed. \nSelf-help remedies – see http://www.britishsnoring.co.uk for help & information. \nIf you cannot resolve the snoring by self-help remedies seek professional help to find the cause and appropriate treatment. Make an appointment to see one of our sleep specialists in our clinic. http://www.thereigatesleepclinic.co.uk \nKEY POINTS: \n 	NOISE LEVEL THAT STARTS TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON SLEEP IS 40dB\n 	SNORING SOUND RANGES FROM 50dB TO 100+dB\n 	THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION (WHO) DOCUMENT SEVERAL CATEGORIES OF ADVERSE HEALTH AND SOCIAL EFFECTS FROM NOISE\n 	EXPOSURE TO NOISE AT NIGHT CAN LEAD TO POOR HEALTH\n 	BED PARTNERS WHO SLEEP WITH A SNORER HAVE REDUCED QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF SLEEP\n 	SLEEPING WITH A SNORER CAN CAUSE HEARING IMPAIRMENT FOR THE BED PARTNER \n

SUMMARY:National Jelly Bean Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:April 22 is National Jelly Bean Day. Although these candies are mostly associated with Easter\, they are popular all year long. Jelly beans are likely to have appeared during the time of American Civil War. William Schraff\, a Boston confectioner\, urged his customers to send jelly beans to the soldiers. \nToday food historians believe\, that first jelly beans appeared around that time. The very first advertisement of jelly beans appeared on July 5\, 1905\, in the Chicago Daily News. They were sold for 9 cents per pound.Earlier jelly beans were associated with Easter because of their egg-like shape. However this changed\, that is why we can enjoy these candies anytime. \nAnd did you know\, that jelly beans were President Reagan’s favorite candies and he used them to quit smoking\, when he was the governor of California?Each year about 16 billion jelly beans are manufactured in the U.S. just for Easter. \nIf you line up all jelly beans eaten by folks during Easter holidays\, they could circle the Earth for more than 3 times! \n

SUMMARY:Girl Scout Leader's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Girl Scout Leader’s Day\, also known as Girl Scout Leader Appreciation Day\, is an annual celebration held on April 22. It honors all Girl Scout volunteers who work as leaders and mentors. Girl Scout leaders are adult volunteers in Girl Scouting who serve as guides and mentors. \nThey help girls develop skills and confidence\, introduce them to new experiences that show Girl Scouts what they are capable of. Volunteers make an exceptional contribution to the development of the Girl Scout movement\, serving as role models. \nAlthough the effort put forward by volunteers is always appreciated\, a special day has been set aside to publicly acknowledge that Girls Scout leaders play a very important role in the organization. \nGirl Scouts even have special awards for adult volunteers such as Outstanding Volunteer\, Outstanding Leader\, Appreciation Pin\, Honor Pin\, and Thanks Badge.Girl Scout Leader’s Day is a perfect opportunity for girls\, their families and communities to recognize their adult volunteers and thank them for everything they’ve done. \nAs volunteers\, leaders do not seek any special rewards or recognition\, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t want to be thanked. They surely deserve kind words and signs of appreciation. \n

SUMMARY:English Language Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:English\, along with French\, is one of the two working languages of the United Nations Secretariat\, and one of the Organization’s six official languages. \nBecause it is so widely spoken\, English is often referred to as a “world language”\, or the lingua franca of the modern era.\nEnglish Language Day is a United Nations (UN) observance that people celebrate on April 23 each year. It coincides withWilliam Shakespeare’s birthday and World Book and Copyright Day. \nCelebrate English Language Day\nEnglish Language Day aims to entertain and inform people about the history\, culture and achievements associated with the language.

SUMMARY:Saint George's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:So here it is: another opportunity for red-blooded English people\, and a handful of tabloids\, to complain that St George’s Day isn’t a national holiday. That said\, they might have a point  a mere 600+ years ago\, it was a holiday on par with Christmas in the UK. Known to have defeated a dragon which almost certainly didn’t exist\, St George was most famously killed for refusing to recant his Christian faith\, effectively opening the door to sainthood. In England\, the occasion is still quite the lacklustre affair  indeed\, St Patrick’s Day probably gets more people in the pubs. \nBut for those looking to *really* celebrate St George\, he isn’t just the preserve of England; he’s particularly popular in Portugal\, Spain\, Bulgaria and even Russia\, for all manner of reasons  and they all host events in his honour. In Georgia\, the St George Cross features prominently in the country’s flag  though contrary to popular belief\, the nation wasn’t named after the man himself. \n

SUMMARY:World Book Night 2020
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve never found a book you’ve liked\, there’s a good chance that you’ve not tried that many books  and World Book Night is here to prove to both children and adults that there are plenty of opportunities to get lost in a good book. Every year\, the occasion is coordinated by the Reading Agency\, a national charity that aims to help people become confident and enthusiastic readers. \nWorld Book Night celebrates both reading and books every year on April 23rd\, when books are distributed throughout the UK to specifically\, but not exclusively\, reach those who don’t often get the opportunity to read – hospitals\, prisons\, homeless shelters and care homes are a particular focus. Those who love a good book are asked to give out their own books to similarly affected people in their own communities or the wider UK. \nFor the past 6 years World Book Night has also been celebrated in the USA as well as the UK and Ireland\, with almost 50\,000 people giving away a million books across the three different countries. \n

SUMMARY:National Asparagus Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:St. George’s Day has become synonymous with the start of British Asparagus Season\, thanks to the Vale of Evesham’s British Asparagus Festival. Some of the best asparagus in the world is said to come from this area of the country  also known as the UK’s fruit and vegetable basket. \nThe asparagus season only lasts for about six weeks from 23rd April into early June\, so the British Asparagus Festival wants everyone to celebrate it when it starts. Just as leeks are synonymous with St. David’s Day\, it seems right that asparagus is the symbol of St. George’s Day. \nIn the Vale of Evesham\, National Asparagus Day celebrations begin at the National Trust’s Bretforton pub\, The Fleece. The first-cut round of asparagus is the centre of festivities that include Morris Dancing\, a blessing and a special ode. Surrounded by characters such as Gus\, the asparagus man\, the Asparamancer and St. George himself\, and accompanied by a cavalcade of Morgan Cars\, the asparagus is taken to a different destination each year to benefit charities. \nEveryone is welcome to join the festivities and can find out more at http://www.britishasparagusfestival.org \n

SUMMARY:World Malaria Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Malaria Day 2019 is on April 25th\, this annual event is a worldwide effort\, to raise awareness of Malaria and funds for the treatment and prevention of malaria. The day works to highlight the need for better political intervention in malaria control and prevention. The day also marks the continuing great achievements in the fight against Malaria. \nThis year’s theme for World Malaria Day is ‘End Malaria for Good’ and the day is hosted by the World Health Organization. \nThe World Health Organization is putting prevention of malaria to the forefront in this event\, with the aim of reducing the massive global death toll of 400\,000 people to Malaria every year. Efforts to highlight prevention has been reducing the death toll\, especially through the use of insecticide and mosquito nets\, as mosquitos are the most common carriers and spreaders of Malaria. The continued campaign of prevention is proving effective and saving lives\, but there is still a long way to go. \nWorld Malaria Day and continued awareness and prevention\, as well as lobbying for better political support must continue and increase in order to eradicate the disease and prevent deaths from it. Investment and interest from governments is essential for this continued fight against Malaria and related deaths. \n

SUMMARY:MS Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Our campaign doesn’t stop with MS Awareness Week. As Geraldine Mynors explained on Wednesday\, our real work is only just beginning. Right now we’re beginning the analysis of the data we’ve collected from GEMSS\, the major research project which has seen us work with MS specialist teams around the UK. Over the next two months we’ll will be working with MS teams on local reports for each of their services which provide evidence about what they do and the value they add\, as well as making local recommendations about how services can be improved and strengthened. Over the summer and autumn we’ll be using the GEMSS data to create national publications about MS services. We hope these will establish quality standards for all MS specialist services\, help specialist deliver even better services and help shape the future of MS care in the NHS. Your support means that we can make an even bigger impact with this work. \nThe best way to keep up to date with the progress of our work is by subscribing to our free\, quarterly newsletter\, Open Door. Not only does it share updates about our work\, it also rounds up all the latest news from the world of MS\, explains what new research might mean for you\, looks behind the headlines at MS in the media\, and looks at ways you can get involved in our work. \nOur new issue is being posted very soon. It includes a feature on the new international focus on progressive MS\, looks for the truth behind the stem cell hype\, introduces ways of staying mentally fit\, and examines at the facts about vaccination and MS.

SUMMARY:Parental Alienation Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:April 25 is Parental Alienation Awareness Day (PAAD) in the USA\, Canada and Bermuda. \nThis awareness day was created as a part of global awareness campaign about parental alienation. Parental alienation is described ” a behavior by a parent\, or an adult a child trusts\, such as a grandmother/father\, aunt\, uncle\, etc.\, whether conscious or unconscious\, that could create alienation in the relationship between a child and a parent.” \nAlso known as Hostile Aggressive Parenting\, the behaviour displayed can be mild and temporary but also extreme and ongoing.  Obvioulsy any kind of behavior that is displayed as a result of parental alienation can be damaging upon a child and could have potentially life long consequences should the behaviour of both carer and child not be recognised and effectively addressed. \nNot to be confused with Parental Alienation Syndrome which relates to the behaviour of the child\, Parental Alienation focuses on the adults behaviour. \nParental Alienation Awareness Day recognised on April 25th aims to highlight to care givers the effects that PA could have on children and educate adults in order to identify signs that either they or others are behaving in a manner that could affect the children in their care.  Parental Alienation usually involves one care giver attempting to turn a child against another often with a view to persuade the child that they wish to exclude the other parent from their life permanently.  Typical types of behaviour displayed by parents can include: \n 	constantly badmouthing/ belittling the other;\n 	limiting the other’s contact;\n 	forbidding the child from discussing the other parent;\n 	creating the impression that the other parent dislikes or does not love the child; or\n 	trying to force the child to reject the parent to make the former partner a former parent as well. \nThe idea of PAAD belongs to Sarvy Emo from Canada. Emo introduced the observance of the day in the late 2005 with the original date on March 28. This date was changed to April 25 for marketing reasons and was put into practice in 2006. \nWith awareness comes education\, and with education\, comes the power to stop the mental and emotional abuse of children.-Sarvy Emo \nTo find out more about this awareness day\, visit one of the many dedicated websites aimed at raising awareness of the behaviours that could have a long lasting effect on our kids. \n

SUMMARY:DNA Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:April 25 is DNA Day in the USA. Although this holiday was declared as one-time observance\, it is still celebrated annually. \nDNA Day commemorated the day when James Watson\, Francis Crick\, Maurice Wilkins\, Rosalind Franklin published papers in journal Nature on the structure of DNA in 1953. Furthermore\, on the very same day\, only in 2003\, the Human Genome Project was declared very close to complete. Although the analysis of some genome parts is still not complete even after more than 60 years of studying\, the major work is done. \nThe holiday was celebrated for the first time in 2003 and it was proclaimed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The holiday was declared a one-time celebration\, not an annual one. However\, every year onward annual DNA Day celebration is organized by the National Human Genome Research Institute\, but the holiday fell on different dates (April 23\, April 20 and April 15). \nAnd several groups declared April 25 as International DNA Day and World DNA Day. \n

DESCRIPTION:Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day is a non-profit educational program that revolves around parents taking their children to work for a day. In the United States\, the event is held on the fourth Thursday in April. \nIn 1992\, the Ms. Foundation for Women launched Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The first event was held on April 22\, 1993. Schools across the United States were provided with literature and other materials for incorporating career exploration in their curricula on the day before or after Take Our Daughters to Work Day. \nIn 2003\, the program was expanded to include boys. However\, most companies that took part in the program had allowed both girls and boys to participate since the beginning. This change allowed both girls and boys to explore careers\, contributing to fighting with gender stereotypes. \nIn 2007\, the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day program became its own separate foundation. It is no longer organized by the Ms. Foundation for Women\, although Gloria Steinem (one of the Foundation’s founders) is a member of the program’s board of directors. \nOn the fourth Thursday in April\, many employees across the USA invite their children to work. The program also encourages them to invite children from shelters and residential programs. \n

SUMMARY:National Arbor Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:The United States was one of the first countries in the world to celebrate Arbor Day\, a holiday dedicated to tree planting. \nNational Arbor Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Friday in April. Besides\, each state celebrates its own state tree planting holiday. Arbor Day was founded by Julius Sterling Morton\, a Nebraska newspaper editor\, agriculturalist and statesman. Morton was a respected agriculturalist fascinated with trees\, he planted numerous trees on his estate. \nCurrently\, his former mansion and estate serve as Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.Morton came up with the idea of celebrating Arbor Day in the early 1870s. The first celebration was held in Nebraska on April 10\, 1872. \nIts participants planted an estimated one million trees throughout the state. By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885. \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday). In 1989\, the holiday was moved to the last Friday in April. On this day\, Americans are encouraged to plant trees\, bushes and plants (if weather conditions allow) and care for their national environment. \n

SUMMARY:World Day For Safety And Health At Work 2020
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, 6\,300 people die as a result of occupational accidents or work-related diseases  more than 2.3 million deaths per year. 317 million accidents occur on the job annually; many of these resulting in extended absences from work. The human cost of this daily adversity is vast and the economic burden of poor occupational safety and health practices is estimated at 4 per cent of global Gross Domestic Product each year. \nThe ILO’s campaign for the 2017 World Day for Safety and Health at Work focuses on the critical need for countries to improve their capacity to collect and utilize reliable occupational safety and health (OSH) data. \nThe United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted on September 25\, 2015 encompasses a global plan of action with specific targets to end poverty\, protect the planet\, and ensure prosperity for all. With its adoption\, the capacity to collect and utilize reliable OSH data has also become indispensable for countries to fulfil their commitment to implement and report on some of the agenda’s 17 sustainable development goals and their targets. \nThe World Day for Safety and Health at Work is an annual international campaign to promote safe\, healthy and decent work. It is held on 28 April and has been observed by the International Labour Organization (ILO) since 2003. \nA national occupational safety and health culture is one in which the right to a safe and healthy working environment is respected at all levels\, where governments\, employers and workers actively participate in securing a safe and healthy working environment through a system of defined rights\, responsibilities and duties\, and where the highest priority is accorded to the principle of prevention. \n

SUMMARY:International Dance Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:UNESCO has a habit of reserving 24 hours for everything in the field of performing arts\, so it’s perhaps no surprise that there’s an annual International Dance Day. It has been earmarked as a celebration for anyone who attaches value and importance to dance\, and acts as a wake-up-call for governments\, politicians and institutions which have not yet recognised its value. \nWhile this sounds just a little bit overboard\, you’d be surprised at how many places frown upon or outright ban the act of dancing. Even in the US\, strict Southern Baptists don’t dance\, and this led to the famous hard work of Chicago teen Ren McCormack\, who proved them wrong and overcame the community through the medium of dance in the hard-hitting 1984 documentary Footloose. \n

SUMMARY:Make May Purple /Action On Stroke Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Make May Purple /Action On Stroke Month 2019 runs throughout May and is an annual awareness event arranged by the Stroke Association. The month is to raise awareness of Strokes and their impact on sufferers and their friends and families as well as educating the general public on the signs and symptoms of strokes\, what causes strokes\, what happens during a stroke and what to do in the event of someone suffering a stroke. \nThe main theme of the Month is wearing purple to raise sponsorship for the Stroke Association’s work.

Participants sign up with the Stroke Association to receive a purple event fundraising pack. \nA stroke is an attack on the brain\, it happens when blood supply to part of the brain is cut off\, causing death of that part of the brain\, the effects of the stroke vary depending on which part of the brain is affected and how severe the stroke is. Strokes can also cause bleeding on the brain. The effects of stroke can be permanent although some people make a very good recovery\, and a sufferer is vulnerable to further strokes. Often care and treatment is needed\, and in serious cases\, hospitalisation is needed and a stroke can cause immediate death or death through subsequent secondary strokes. \nThe Stroke Association’s Awareness Month raises vital funds for the stroke association to provide support to sufferers and to get information into the community to prevent stroke and make sure correct action is taken in the event of strokes. \n

SUMMARY:Local And Community History Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:All of May is the Local and Community History month across the UK! The Historical Association\, which is a charity registered and incorporated by the Royal Charter\, supports education\, enjoyment and the learning of history at all levels of teaching and adulthood. Their mission is to “inspire\, enable and encourage” people across all walks of life to get involved with history\, and the Local and Community history month is one of their ways to do it. \nIn this month\, the Historical Association wants everyone to research and read\, share information and raise awareness about the history of their communities and local areas. They also want people to hold events in their local area highlighting these\, and to promote and advertise areas of heritage and historical concern. They have a social media hashtag for people to use to bring awareness which is #localhistory19. \nSpecifically for 2018\, the Historical Association is focusing on the RAF as it’s the Royal Air Force’s Centenary year. The HA themselves have created an interactive map of every RAF base from 1916 to the present day which is a great resource to find out if there is or was an RAF base close to your community! \nThey are also asking anyone to find out more information about historical RAF sites and add this information to their map\, to collate as much information as possible to share with the world! With over 2000 bases created since 1916\, many have been built over\, turned into commercial airports or closed down\, so it’s worth looking to see if there was one near you that isn’t there anymore. \n

SUMMARY:National Teen Self Esteem Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:May is National Teen Self Esteem Month 2019 and is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of ensuring our teens are self aware and feel confident about themselves.  The effect that their self esteem has on their physical and mental well being is of paramount importance and a crucial focus of the awareness month. \nThe teenage years are a notoriously difficult time for the majority of young people and therefore this is a fantastic way of checking in and ensuring we are doing everything that we can to support and nurture the teens in our lives- be it family or friends.  On top of the physical\, hormonal and emotional changes going on\, teens also have to contend with the added pressures of social changes\, new relationships\, increased educational expectations\, peer pressure and impossible societal standards perpetuated by the media\, society and often parents. \nSelf esteem is often easily damaged and difficult to repair\, so with the added complication of being a teenager it is highly understandable that teenagers can be particularly fragile. \nThere are many ways that we can engage more positively with teenagers and the character of the individual young person may respond more effectively to particular expertise and knowledge\, however there are some really simple ways in which we can promote positive self esteem.  And these tips aren’t restricted to assisting only teenagers.  Perhaps we could all make use of them: \n 	Lead by example\n 	Avoid negative self talk and criticism.\n 	Ensure you have open lines of communication – and if you don’t\, get advice on how to create this.\n 	Ensure you can be trusted\n 	Guide and advise encouraging their own decision making within reasonable parameters.\n 	Give them space\n 	Listen and take an interest in their developing lives. \nMany businesses and organisations seize the opportunity to support this awareness campaign in order to offer their services as a way of supporting teens. However it is not always necessary to engage with these businesses and organisations as sometimes just a chat and some special time with your teen is enough to encourage and strengthen their self esteem. \n

SUMMARY:National Clean Air Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Clean Air Month is observed in May each year across the United States\, sponsored by the American Lung Association since 1972.  Initially a week long campaign the event was lengthened to a month long one in 1994.  The month long awareness campaign aims to : \n 	educate people about the impact that clean air has on our lives\n 	encourages people to take positive steps to improve the air quality – both locally and globally. \nClean Air Month is also an opportunity to celebrate the improvements that have been made over the last 4 decades since the campaign was launched and the Clean Air Act included into legislation in 1970. \nThe consequences of poor air quality are well known and can include cancer\, bronchitis\, allergies and asthma.  But it is probably less well known how much of what we do impacts the air quality around us. \nThis month you can find out more about how what we do and use effects the air quality and also join in with a range of activities\, such as holding ‘Bike to work day ‘ or ‘car share day’.  Many activities are led by the American Lung Association and educate as well as involve all members of the community\, highlighting ways you  can have a beneficial impact on the quality of the air we breath.  Keep an eye out in your community for more information or contact your local branch of the ALA. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lei Day in Hawaii 2020
DESCRIPTION:May 1 is Lei Day in all islands of Hawaii. \nThe first celebration of Lei Day was held in 1927 at the bank of Hawaii to recognise Hawaiian culture.  The following year in 1928 an article by Don Blanding was published in the local newspaper where the author encouraged everyone to join in the celebration and to wear necklaces of headpieces of the traditional floral garland\, the Lei. \nTraditionally the celebration begins in the morning at 9 a.m. The events last through the day and end at 5:30 p.m. The holiday is proceeded by the Lei Contest\, that is held on May 2. Everyone can see the contest and appreciate the leis. \nEach Hawaiian island has its special flower and the lei are made from the flower specific to each individual island.  Leis of The Big Island are made of red blossoms of ohia tree. Pink Lokelani is the flower of Maui and O’ahu boasts llima\, the golden flower. \nThe common celebration of Lei Day includes giving gifts of leis to one another. Schools participate by putting on plays and appointing Kings and Queens\, who represent each island. \n

SUMMARY:Loyalty Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:May 1 is Loyalty Day in the USA. \nThis holiday was developed to set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the U.S. and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom. This holiday was introduced and celebrated for the first time in 1921 and it meant to replace the International Workers’ Day\, promoted by the Communists and Socialists. \nThis holiday originally was called Americanization Day and it had to commemorate the events of May 4\, 1886\, when a bombing took place at a labor demonstration at Haymarket Square\, Chicago. \nThe U.S. Congress recognized Loyalty Day on April 27\, 1955\, when it was proclaimed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and observed for the first time. This holiday was made an official reoccurring holiday in 1958. May 1\, 1959 was the first official observation of Loyalty Day. \nLoyalty Day is celebrated with parades and ceremonies in some states\, but even today many people remain unaware of this holiday. As far as this holiday doesn’t have federal status\, it is not commonly observed. \n

SUMMARY:Zombie Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Get Ready for the Apocalypse with Zombie Awareness Month 2020! \nThe zombies are hungry and they’re coming for your brains\, or at least they will be during May. This is the time of the year when Zombie Awareness Month 2020 is celebrated\, with special events held from May 1st all the way through to May 31st. \nIf you want to prepare for the zombie apocalypse\, we’d recommend reading the Zombie Survival Guide or World War Z (the book is much better than the movie) – both by Max Brooks – you’ll learn everything from the best weapons to kill zombies through to proven tips for safeguarding yourself and your loved ones against the living dead. It might just save your life! \nPeople who want to get in on the action can show their support for the cause by wearing a grey ribbon. There will also be special film showings of classic zombie films such as Night of the Living Dead and other types of light hearted events where people get the chance to become a zombie for the day and show off their best stumbling walk skills. \nHowever\, Zombie Awareness Month 2020 is primarily held to raise awareness about zombies and the potential future zombie apocalypse. The campaign is organised and funded by The Zombie Research Society\, which is an organisation that is dedicated to the scientific\, historic and cultural study of the living dead. \nThe Zombie Research Society claims that a zombie apocalypse is not merely a fantasy made popular by films and novels but a potential threat that everyone should be aware of and be prepared for. During the month of may special talks and events will be held to make sure that people understand what to do if the zombie apocalypse becomes a reality so that they can keep themselves and their loved ones safe. Of course\, it is also a good opportunity to break out the green face paint and the fake blood and have fun. \n

SUMMARY:World Asthma Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Asthma Day is an annual awareness event supported by Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and US based National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLB)\, and also the World Asthma Foundation. World Asthma Day has been running for 10 years. The day usually has an annual theme\, and for 2018 the theme was ‘Allergy and Asthma’. \nThe aim of the day is raising awareness of asthma and how it affects sufferers. The day falls on the first Tuesday in May each year and aims to raise support for sufferers and their families. World Asthma Day 2019 is on May 2nd. World Asthma Day was launched in conjunction with the first World Asthma Meeting in Barcelona\, and has grown to become the biggest international asthma event.\nActivities for World Asthma Day may include free screenings for asthma\, media advertising\, talks\, education and community and sponsored events. \nAsthma is a chronic lung disease which causes breathing difficulties and affects sufferers to varying degrees\, asthma is caused by swelling and inflammation of the bronchial tubes\, sometimes in reaction to allergens\, exercise\, stress or changes in temperature. Asthma is not usually curable but can be controlled to certain extents\, depending on how it affects the sufferer. If asthma is controlled then sufferers can live relatively normal lives\, although some triggers may have to be avoided. \nAsthma is controlled by prevention medication for chronic symptoms and relief medication for flare-ups of asthma symptoms. Education and understanding are keys to effective control of asthma\, which can be fatal if not managed properly. World Asthma Day educates and raises awareness of the condition in the hope of relieving suffering and reducing deaths. \n

SUMMARY:National Truffle Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:May 2 is National Truffle Day. This day honors deliciously sweet chocolate truffles\, that everyone should enjoy today. \nTruffles were developed in France as a small chocolate ball made of ganache and rolled in cocoa. It was named after truffle fungus\, that chocolates resembled. It is believed\, that truffles were made by August Escoffier during the 1920s. One day his apprentice tried to make a pastry cream but accidentally poured hot cream into a bowl of chocolate chunks instead of the bowl of sugared egg. When chocolate and cream mixture hardened\, Escoffier found\, that he could form a lopsided ball with his hands. \nHe rolled his creation in cocoa powder and was surprised with its resemblance to real truffles from France and Italy. The concept developed further and different fillings\, as well as covers\, were made.Truffles can be filled with anything: cream\, caramel\, melted chocolate\, fruit\, nuts\, fudge\, nougat\, mint\, marshmallow\, liquor. \nIt became possible after Belgian chocolatier Jean Neuhaus invented hard chocolate shell. \nThere are different types of truffles: European\, Swiss and American.

SUMMARY:National Day of Reason 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Day of Reason is a secular celebration\, annually observed on the first Thursday in May. \nThis legal celebration was established for all atheists\, humanists and secularists\, who can’t celebrate National Day of Prayer. The dates of both days coincide. National Day of Prayer was created for all Americans to turn to God\, gather together and pray for peace and prosperity of the nation. However\, not all Americans consider themselves to be members of any religion and thus they can’t pray. National Day of Reason was created only for them to have a reason to celebrate. However\, this secular holiday also raises public awareness of the threat to religious liberty posed by American government intrusion into the private sphere of worship. \nNational Day of Reason was created in 2003 by the American Humanist Association. In 2005 the observance was strongly advocated by the Center for Atheism and they marked it with blood donation. During the next years the popularity of this observance grew. In 2011 and 2012 the representative Pete Stark supported the proclamation of National Day of Reason in the House of Representatives and the resolution to honor this day was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. \nDifferent events are organized by many associations on National Day of Reason. These events vary from blood donations and food drives to secular celebrations as alternatives to National Day of Prayer. Many individuals protest observance of National Day of Prayer. \n

SUMMARY:Firefighters' Memorial Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Last May saw the UK mark its first ever Firefighters’ Memorial Day to commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of those who lost their lives in the line of duty. Thousands of firefighters\, bereaved families\, supporters and well-wishers observed one minute’s silence at midday at fire stations. There was an outpouring of support on social media\, with many users changing their profile picture to the FBU memorial badge and sharing pictures of memorial events.\nThis year the Firefighters Memorial Trust\, supported by the FBU\, is hoping for even more activity to commemorate the 2\,524 members of the fire and rescue service who have died while protecting the public. \nThe day means a lot to the loved ones of fallen firefighters. Dave Faust’s son\, Billy\, lost his life alongside colleague Adam Meere tackling a fire in Bethnal Green\, East London in 2004. He says the day brings much comfort to his family. It means an awful lot to us to know the union and fire brigades are remembering the people they have lost\, he says. It is a really\, really great thing  not only for families but for the firefighters themselves and the service. \nLet’s make this year’s Firefighters’ Memorial Day one to remember. Here are some ideas on how to mark the day.\nGET YOUR MP TO SIGN EDM 1115\nWrite to your MP asking them to sign EDM 1115 – Firefighters’ Memorial Day\, 4 May 2018. It calls for all Parliamentarians to attend their nearest fire station and take part in the minute’s silence at midday. Find all the resources you need to do this here.\nSHOUT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA\nA video promoting this year’s memorial day has been put together and members are asked to share it with family and friends through social media.\nWEAR YOUR MEMORIAL LAPEL BADGE\nTo mark this year’s Memorial Day\, every member has received a newly designed FBU memorial lapel. These are for members to wear in respectful remembrance of fallen comrades. The badge was sent out with the most recent edition of Firefighter magazine.\nTHE FIREFIGHTERS‚STORY:\n100 years of the Fire Brigades Union tells the story of the FBU from its inception in 1918 up to the present day and illustrates how the union and firefighting have changed over 10 decades. The film has already been shown at events in London\, Bristol and Glasgow and the union is urging members to organise further screenings across the country. Register your interest in organising a showing of the film here.\nGET PEOPLE INVOLVED\nThis year\, a number of fire services will organise open days at stations with a one-minute silence as the centrepiece. An important aspect of the day is to enable local communities to honour their firefighters. Getting members of the public\, as well as retired and off-duty firefighters\, along to local fire stations for the midday silence is a wonderful way to mark the day. \n

SUMMARY:Star Wars Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Since 2011 May the 4th has been known across Star Wars Fandom as Star Wars Day and was chosen due to the pun “May The Fourth be with You”. In fact Star Wars fans have bought into the celebration so much that a second date has since been created\, with May the 5th becoming known as “Revenge of The Fifth” \, a play on words from Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith\, where fans join the ‘Dark Side’ by celebrating the Sith Lords from the Star Wars series. \nAlthough Star Wars Day wasn’t created by George Lucas it has since been embraced by Lucasfilm as an annual celebration of the day\, with Disney – who purchased Lucasfilm and the rights to the Star Wars franchise in 2012\, also holding many events in celebration of May 4th. \nNever ones to be left out of a party we’ve popped a few interesting facts about the Star Wars franchise below in honour of the day. May the Fourth Be With You! \n 	Many of the buildings constructed to be used in shots Tatooine are still standing in Tunisia. In fact\, some of them are used by locals. Commemorative Star Wars coins became legal tender on the Pacific island of Niue in 2011.\n 	It took as many as 10 puppeteers using both hands to operate Jabba the Hutt.\n 	The trash in the Death Star garbage compactor scene was REAL. Apparently\, the smell was so bad that Mark Hamill burst a blood vessel from trying to hold his breath\, and the camera angle had to be adjusted for the rest of the scene so as not to show his injury. As for Peter Mayhew’s yak-hair Chewbacca suit? It reeked for the rest of production.\n 	The voice of Yoda is done by Frank Oz\, who also happens to voice Miss Piggy from The Muppets. The alien race of ET: The Extra-Terrestrial makes an appearance in Episode 1: The Phantom Menace- officially connecting the worlds of Lucas and Spielberg sci-fi.\n 	Yoda from the prequels was almost a real-life monkey in a green mask carrying a cane\, however a monkey expert on set threw a spanner in the works. One of the crew who worked with apes in 2001: A Space Odyssey quickly pointed out\, Look\, the monkey’s just going to pull off the mask over and over again. It’s never going to work. The team soon enlisted Muppet master-crafter Jim Henson\, who suggested casting Frank Oz (formerly the voice of Miss Piggy) to bring Yoda to life. \n

SUMMARY:World Ankylosing Spondylitis Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:One Step at a Time with World Ankylosing Spondylitis Day 2019\nWorld Ankylosing Spondylitis Day 2019 will be held on May 4th and is the perfect opportunity for sufferers of the disease to connect with each other and raise awareness. Also known as WAS Day\, the event is organised by the ASIF. \nAS sufferers will know all too well\, Ankylosing spondylitis is a kind of arthritis that particularly affects the spine. Among the symptoms of this disease are pain and stiffness that run all the way from the neck downwards to the lower back. Although people who suffer from this condition often find walking difficult\, it is essential to take part in gentle walks each day to relieve the stiffness. \nThe theme of World Ankylosing Spondylitis Day 2018 was Walk AS One\, which encouraged people suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis to embark on walks in scenic settings and to take part in the Selfie Challenge as part of Walk Your A.S Off. People who took part in the Selfie Challenge took selfies during their walk and posted the photos on Instagram. \nA huge number of people from different countries around the world took part in the event in 2017 and more than a thousand photos were shared on Instagram. While walking is something that many people take for granted\, the photos clearly demonstrated the challenge that this everyday task poses to Ankylosing Spondylitis sufferers. The feeling of accomplishment that the photos captured also serve as an inspiration to Ankylosing Spondylitis sufferers who find it hard to leave the house and push people to set themselves goals. \n

SUMMARY:Bird Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:There are several ecological observances to honor birds. \nBird Day in the USA\, that falls on May 4\, is one of the oldest observances. Bird Day was established by school superintendent Charles Babcock in Oil City\, Pennsylvania\, in 1894. Babcock intended to advance bird conservation as a moral value\, that is why he introduced the holiday. \nThat year the holiday was celebrated for the first time by the schools of Pennsylvania. Babcock organized a holiday for children that had two main goals: to tell children about the importance of various bird species conservation and improve their environment with bird houses.Babcock’s idea gained nationwide support in the beginning of the 20th century\, and later it made its way to Europe. \nEven today Bird Day is observed in many countries\, but it’s not so popular as National Bird Day\, that falls on January 5. \nThere are other ecological observances to honor birds\, improve and protect their environment. These are International Migratory Bird Day and International Bird Day. \n

DESCRIPTION:Every year on May 5th\, the International Day of the Midwife takes place.

Themes for the day have included healthy families\, newborn babies\, partnerships between midwives and mothers\, and leading the way with quality care. \nThe IDM encourages midwives to make the day and raise money for good causes\, whether that’s by organising a concert or march\, setting up a stall to educate others on midwifery\, holding a meeting\, or even inviting a celebrity\, government minister or expert to speak or open an event. \n

SUMMARY:National Teacher Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Teachers play a very important role in the development of every nation\, that’s why their work is appreciated in many countries around the world\, including the USA. National Teacher Day is celebrated in the USA annually since 1985. \nThe history of National Teacher Day can be traced back to 1944\, however\, its origin is murky. Mattye Whyte Woodridge\, a teacher from Arkansas\, had an idea of establishment a Teacher Day and around 1944 he started corresponding with educational and political leaders. \nHe insisted on the need for a national holiday to honor the work of teachers.Woodridge wrote to Eleanor Roosevelt to describe his idea\, and she persuaded the 81st Congress to proclaim a National Teacher Day. But there was still a long way ahead for it. \nThe National Education Association\, Kansas and Indiana states lobbied Congress to create the national holiday for all teachers. And finally\, Congress declared March 7\, 1980 to be National Teacher Day for that year only. \nThe National Education Association continued to observe the holiday in March\, till its Representative Assembly voted to change the date in 1985. The date of the event was moved to Tuesday during the first full week of May\, that is also Teacher Appreciation Week. \n

SUMMARY:Viral Meningitis Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Viral Meningitis Awareness Week 2019 is held from May 6th to May 12th and is an annual awareness event\, usually held during the first week in May. The event is run by Meningitis Now\, a charity which aims to stop lives from being lost through meningitis and to make sure that sufferers and survivors get appropriate support. \nThe event raises awareness of viral meningitis\, its symptoms and how it affects sufferers\, as it is a less commonly understood disease than bacterial meningitis.Viral meningitis is an inflammation of the brain\, spread by numerous other viruses which may enter the body\, usually known as enteroviruses. \nStatistics for viral meningitis are hard to effectively produce\, as not all sufferers receive treatment\, although it is an illness that leaves people quite unwell\, but cases may easily go Without diagnoses. Hospitals also don’t usually offer follow-up appointments for sufferers of viral meningitis even though the illness can be debilitating and have long lasting effects. \nViral Meningitis is hard to treat\, as viruses don’t respond to antibiotics\, and thus treatment is mainly focused on alleviation of pain and discomfort\, apart from where herpes is linked to the virus\, in which case an injection called Acyclovir can be used to combat the illness. Viral meningitis can be passed from person to person but most infected people have mild or no symptoms\, thus public health do not tend to take action on the virus. \nViral Meningitis Awareness Week allows information\, education\, support and fundraising to be carried out\, to improve understanding of the condition\, to prevent it and to prevent deaths and permanent health problems with it\, as well as supporting sufferers and making the future better for them and for potential suffers. \n

SUMMARY:National Lost Sock Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day for Mourning All Your Lost Socks\nOf course this is very much an unofficial holiday\, but why shouldn’t your lost socks be remembered. Let’s face it we’ve all got a pile of odd socks lurking in the back of the sock drawer. Some of us even like to make a big thing about wearing them. But does anyone know where all the other odd socks go?\nWho Decided There Should be a National Lost Sock Day?\nThere have been hours spent pondering the origin of this quirky celebration\, and so far nobody seems to know. But does it really matter who thought of the idea? It’s a great one whoever it was.\nHow to Celebrate National Lost Sock Day\nThere are no tried and tested ways to celebrate and no recognised set of rules for the day. So why don’t we offer a few suggestions\, and you get to take it from there. The best way to celebrate is by wearing a pair of odd socks in remembrance of the socks that are missing. Perhaps you could encourage the kids to go on a treasure hunt and see if they can find some of the socks that have disappeared. Uniting long lost pairs would be the ultimate celebration. If searching for them fails\, then perhaps it’s about time you found something else to do with the odd ones. Did you know they make great ties for in the garden? Make your kids some odd sock puppets. Odd socks also make great cleaning cloths and dusters. \nAt the end of the day\, take a few moments and give your lost socks a minutes silence in their honour. After all\, they made the ultimate sacrifice. \n

SUMMARY:Europe Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:In Brexit Britain\, it might now be a case of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted\, but for the 48 percent of people who want an excuse to fall out with family once again\, Europe Day seems as good a time as any to do it. \nHeld on May 9th every single year\, Europe Day celebrates peace and unity across the continent in a non-sarcastic way  and national and international political buildings throw open their doors and hold events for the public. \nThe date was chosen as it was when French foreign minister Robert Schuman made the so-called Schuman declaration  this speech in 1950 set out the idea that Europe usher in a whole new era of political cooperation in Europe\, just five years after the end of the Second World War. \n

SUMMARY:World Lupus Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:May 10th is a dedicated World Lupus Day. Lupus is a serious life-altering and fatal disease that requires in-depth understanding and support for the affected persons. Therefore\, it is the responsibility of the unaffected and those affected to join hands and get involved in doing whatever it takes to fight this unpredictable and commonly misunderstood disease. \nTo begin\, Lupus is an inflammatory disease/autoimmune disease that occurs when the body system attacks its own tissues and organs. Inflammation resulting from this may affect various body organs including the skin\, kidneys\, brain\, blood cells\, lungs\, heart and the joints. \nDiagnosing lupus is often difficult as its symptoms mimic those of other common ailments. However\, a major proviso of this condition is facial rash that resembles the wings of a butterfly. Other signs and symptoms include: \n 	Shortness of breath\n 	Persistent chest pain\n 	Joint pain\, swelling and stiffness\n 	Fever and fatigue\n 	Fingers and toes turns blue when exposed to cold\n 	Headaches\, confusion and some memory loss \nIt is due to this that the World Lupus Federation is inviting everyone around the world to participate in this coming 15th annual observance of the World Lupus Day. This condition affects citizens of all nationalities\, ethnicities\, races\, ages and genders. While this condition has no boundaries\, understanding lupus can help control its impact. Join the organisation’s effort in ensuring that people with Lupus are diagnosed and treated effectively. \n

SUMMARY:National Mills Weekend 2020
DESCRIPTION:  \nNational Mills Weekend is the annual festival of our milling heritage and provides you with a fantastic opportunity to visit mills\, many of which are not usually open to the public. \nIn 2019 it will take place on the 11th and 12th May and we hope even more mills than in previous years will open their\ndoors and welcome visitors. Until the advent of the steam engine\, wind and watermills provided the only source of power for many different processes – from making flour\, paper\, cloth to hammering metal and extracting oils. You\ncan explore mills that produced\, or still produce these products\, some restored to working order\, some derelict\, some still working commercially. \nThemes\nIn 2014 & 2015 we celebrated Mills in Art. In 2016 the theme was Vintage Power. The 2017 theme was Engineers and Engineering. In 2018 the theme was Mills and Wildlife. \nSearch for mills open in your area:\nTo find the mills open in your area\, search for your county in our Windmills and Watermills pages. Given the number of mills open\, we have divided the mills by their type – Windmills or Watermills. \nA new aid for visiting mills\, especially over National Mills Weekend.\nThose of you with Android on your phone can install a free app that means you can have the information from the website with you\, even when you are out and about\, quite possibly without an internet connection to contact the site. You can get it at:\nhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details\nThe app links with your other apps\, such as mapping to give you directions to the various mills\, and if you do have an internet connection\, you can use it to pull up more information about many of the mills from Windmill World and the Mills Archive.\nThe app will be updated as details of this year’s Mills Weekend are finalized at various mills. \n

SUMMARY:Eat What You Want Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:A Day When You Can Eat Just What You Want\n Eat What You Want Day is held every year on May 11th. It’s a day when you can choose to eat anything that takes your fancy\, Quite a refreshing change when we are all so stressed about what we eat. \nThe media constantly bombards us with images of the perfect body\, and it seems like every week we’re told about something else that’s not good for us. Add to that all the health food fads that come and go\, it’s no surprise we get so worried. Eat What You Want Day is a breath of fresh air\, but how did it come about?\nWho Created Eat What You Want Day?\nIt was a husband and wife team that came up with the idea of a day when you shouldn’t be feeling guilty about what you eat. Thomas and Ruth Roy run a herb and holiday business under the name of Wellcat Herbs and Wellcat Holidays. The idea was to create a day when people could let go of their food hangups and live a little.\nWhat You Can do to Celebrate the Day\nThe name of the day kind of gives it away. Eat whatever you want\, it’s really that simple. Don’t worry about calories and have a day enjoying what you eat for a change. It could be a day scoffing pizza\, or a day filled with ice-cream desserts. Eat at home or go out and enjoy a pig-out at your favourite food establishment. Do it alone or why not invite your friends to enjoy the celebration? \n

SUMMARY:World Ego Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:May 11th is World Ego Awareness Day. The object of this day is to increase awareness of the issue of ego\, and how it can impact upon everything that we do. Ideally\, there would be an emphasis on self-improvement and removing ego all year round\, but of course this is not always the case. A dedicated World Ego awareness day will help to focus attention on the issue\, and build broader understanding. \nThe Ego Awareness Movement was set up in 2018\, as a network to support those who are struggling with mental conditions relating to ego. The goal is to help prevent others from suffering from abuse or impairments because they are dealing with issues surrounding ego.\nExcessive Ego is Unhealthy\nAn excessively egoic mind can cause many afflictions\, including rage\, prejudice\, inferiority complexes\, feelings of superiority\, stress related violence\, racism\, sexism and more. Ego issues can cause a need for approval and struggles with empathy and relationships. Those who are struggling with their ego are more likely to feel lonliness and despair. \nEgotism is a learned behaviour\, and it is a form of emotional and psychological form of abuse. When they are told that they are being abused\, or being the victimizer\, they may struggle to accept that idea because it is so nebulous and hard to quantify the behaviours.\nTaking Part in World Ego Awareness Day\nWorld Ego Awareness Day is a day that allows people to raise awareness by sharing information and social media posts\, talking to advocates\, attending Meetup Groups\, and taking part in local events. Use this day to share ideas and information\, and meet others that are interested in the idea of taming the ego. \n

SUMMARY:National Limerick Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Everybody needs a bit of silliness in their lives from time to time and National Limerick Day provides the perfect annual opportunity. Celebrated each year on the 12th May the familiar five line verse is renowned for its humorous\, sometimes bawdy themes. Instantly recognisable from the rhythm of the verse they are cleverly constructed to put a smile on the face. \nNational Limerick Day is set on 12th May to mark the birthday of Edward Lear\, the English writer known for his works of nonsensical prose and poetry. It was Edward Lear who was to popularise the Limerick in his A Book of Nonsense\, published 1846. His limericks were popular then and this form of nonsense literature has managed to retain its appeal to this day. \nLimericks will normally have the first\, second and final lines ending with the same rhyme\, while the third and fourth shorter lines have their own rhyme as illustrated below: \nThere was an Old Man with a beard\,\n Who said\, ‘It is just as I feared!\n Two Owls and a Hen\,\n Four Larks and a Wren\,\n Have all built their nests in my beard!’ \nThis style of verse can act as a great introduction to the idea of poetry for children and National Limerick Day helps to maintain awareness of this brand of poem. Although limericks were not invented by Edward Lear\, holding National Limerick Day on his birthday is a suitable nod to the man who brought them to the larger public’s attention. \n

SUMMARY:Mother's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day in most countries. \nThis day is observed in many countries in Africa\, Europe\, Asia\, Australia and Americas\, but the tradition to celebrate the holiday is native to the USA. Although world-wide celebration of Mother’s Day is influenced by different traditions\, they are all common in origin. The very first Mother’s Day was celebrated in 1908 in the USA\, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial service to honor her mother. \nThen she started a campaign to establish Mother’s Day as a national holiday\, and later as international.The U.S Congress passed a law on May 8\, 1914\, that designated the second Sunday in May to be Mother’s Day. The holiday was proclaimed by President Woodrow Wilson on the next day as the holiday when all American citizens raised the flag in honor of the mothers\, whose sons had died in war. \nMother’s Day became very popular in other countries. The holiday includes churchgoing\, distribution of flowers (carnations are symbolic flowers) and family dinners. More than 80 countries around the world celebrate Mother’s Day according to the American traditions. \n

SUMMARY:Coeliac UK's Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Starting on the 13th of May\, through to the 19th of May 2019\, is Coeliac UK Awareness Week. The aim of this week is to raise as much awareness for coeliac disease as possible\, and to inform the community of what coeliac disease is and how it affects those around us that suffer from it.\nWhat is coeliac disease?\nCoeliac disease is an autoimmune disease caused by a reaction to gluten. When someone with coeliac disease eats gluten\, the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues. This causes damage to the lining of the gut and means that the body can’t absorb nutrients properly. Coeliac disease is not a food allergy or an intolerance.\nThere is no cure and once diagnosed you have to stick to a strict gluten free diet for life. Coeliac disease affects 1 in 100 people in the UK but only 30% have been diagnosed which means there are nearly half a million people who have the condition but don’t know it.\nWhat are the symptoms?\nUndiagnosed coeliac disease causes a wide range of symptoms and it affects people in different ways. Lots of people get diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) as the symptoms are often similar. If you have IBS it is important to make sure that you’ve been tested for coeliac disease in case you are one of the 1 in 4 people who are following IBS treatment when you actually have coeliac disease.\nSymptoms of undiagnosed coeliac disease include: \n 	Diarrhoea\n 	Nausea and vomiting\n 	Stomach cramps\n 	Fatigue\n 	Anaemia\n 	Weight loss/gain\n 	Regular mouth ulcers\n 	Skin rash \nIn undiagnosed coeliac disease\, there’s a greater risk of complications including osteoporosis\, infertility\, neurological conditions such as gluten ataxia and neuropathy and\, although rare\, an increased risk of small bowel cancer and intestinal lymphoma. \nThe aim of Coeliac UK Awareness Week\nThe aim of this week is to help people recognise these symptoms and go seek help\, because while awareness of coeliac disease is spreading\, there is still a very low awareness for the symptoms of the disease. This week aims to bring more awareness to the estimated half a million people living with the disease undiagnosed.\nHow can you help?\nYou can help spread awareness of coeliac disease by sharing the advertisements which will be spread during the week through social media and by getting the word out there to as many people as possible. \n

SUMMARY:Dying Matters Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:It’s an inevitable part of life that not many like to talk about\, but it will affect all of our lives at some point\, and eventually we’ll succumb to it to. Death happens to everyone and it’s a normal part of nature’s order\, and being aware of it\, but not dwelling on it\, is a key aspect of living a happy\, full and productive life. \nDying Matters Week falls on the 13th-19th of May this year and is a chance to bring awareness to the charity. Dying Matters aims to bring conversations and talking about the subject of death and bereavement into the national agenda. They believe if death isn’t such a taboo subject then people will lead happier lives and prepare for their funeral arrangements more often\, which will help their families in their time of need. \nAs everyone deals with death and grief in a different way\, it’s important that people feel like they can ask others for help in their time of greatest need. Unfortunately many feel too scared of being judged\, too proud to show emotion or can’t find the words to express what they’re feeling. On the other side\, if we can see someone dealing with death\, we may find it hard to talk to them about it out of politeness or fear of saying the wrong thing to them and increasing the hurt. \nThis years week aims to change that by bringing the subject of death to the forefront by talking about it in our local community centres\, community days\, schools\, libraries and other areas of public life. \n

SUMMARY:National Vegetarian Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Vegetarian Week – A Chance to Showcase Veggie Food\n National Vegetarian Week 2019 runs between 13-19 May and will highlight to the wider public the benefits and pleasures of a meat-free diet. As more people look to make lifestyle changes\, eating veggie is increasing in appeal and National Vegetarian week aims to show to communities and schools across the UK that vegetarian food can be vibrant and exciting to eat. \nEndorsed by the Vegetarian Society\, events will be held across the country to illustrate the recipes which make veggie food accessible and inclusive to all. Meat-eaters can still enjoy a vegetarian meal and many people have already adopted meat-free Mondays in to their diet. Following on from the success of previous years\, grants will be available to communities and schools to help them stage an event to showcase National Vegetarian Week. \n2017 saw over 100 events across the country\, from urban chefs serving veggie food to their local communities through to charity vegetarian lunches. With resource packs and newsletters filled with event tips and recipe ideas the Vegetarian Society backs communities and schools in showcasing all the best there is in eating veggie. \nWhether for health benefits\, cost or animal welfare concerns people opt for vegetarian food for personal reasons. National Vegetarian Week offers a chance to dismiss any lingering myths around vegetarian food and its limitations. Instead it is a great opportunity to reach out to people across all ages and all communities and show them how easy to make and how vibrant veggie food can be. \n

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Celebration Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:According to the Department of Education\, 15% of students in the United Kingdom have a learning difference. I am one of those students. I am dyslexic\, dyspraxic\, autistic and have ADHD. I know what it feels like to have your classmates assume you are not smart because you cannot spell and because you struggle to read. I know what it feels like to be frustrated\, embarrassed and humiliated at school. Like me\, many neurodiverse students have negative school experiences. At school\, we are required to do things we find incredibly challenging and we are constantly reminded of what we can’t do. This can be very discouraging and demoralising. \nIt is time to change the way schools\, teachers and other students perceive us. \nSchools should stop focusing on what we cannot do and should begin to acknowledge and celebrate the many positive aspects of being neurodiverse. \nIt is important for schools to recognise our many strengths: our creativity\, innovation\, ability to think outside-the-box\, problem-solving skills\, unique insights and perspectives\, perseverance and resilience. \nWe are the dreamers. The pioneers. The change-makers. The future business leaders. We are the trailblazers. The adventurers. The discoverers. We are the Einsteins and Bransons of tomorrow. \nYet\, our ability to fulfil our potential is being threatened by the stigma associated with having a special educational need and the misconceptions many people still have about people with learning differences. We are also more vulnerable to being mistreated. In a 2017 bullying report by Ditch the Label\, 70% of students with learning differences reported being bullied at school. \nIt is time to create a more positive perception about what it means to be neurodiverse. We need your help. Please support your students with learning differences by pledging to take part in the first ever Neurodiversity Celebration Week. \n

Among other things\, Davidson supports a number awareness days designed to spread information on HIV/AIDS among various groups of population\, including African Americans\, Native Americans\, Asian Americans\, Pacific Island Americans\, Caribbean Americans\, and Latin Americans.For example\, National Asian & Pacific Islander HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is observed annually on May 19. \nIt was was launched by the Banyan Tree Project\, a national campaign that aims to end HIV-related stigma in the Asian and Pacific Islander (A&PI) community through storytelling and education. \nAlthough Asians and Pacific Islanders don’t comprise a significant percentage of all HIV infections in the country\, HIV diagnoses among A&PI gay and bisexual men have noticeably increased over the past few years. National A&PI HIV/AIDS Awareness Day aims to end the shame surrounding the diagnosis in A&PI communities\, help those who are living with HIV\, and contribute to HIV prevention. \n

SUMMARY:Dementia Action / Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Previously known as Dementia Awareness Week\, Dementia Action Week takes place between the 20th and the 26th of May. The goal of Dementia Action Week is to encourage people to take action to improve the lives of those affected by dementia\, working to create a dementia-friendly UK where those with dementia do not feel excluded. \nThere are 850\,000 people in the UK who are affected by dementia\, and it does not just affect the elderly\, 40\,000 people in the UK under the age of 65 suffer from early onset dementia. It is believed that by 2051 the number of people who have dementia in the UK will have risen to 2 million. \nOrganised by the Alzheimers society\, it was decided that for 2018 the name of the week would change to Dementia Acton Week in order to recognise the fact that while raising awareness of issues surrounding dementia is important\, more action needs to be taken to create the change in communities that people with dementia want and need. \nDuring the week\, everyone will be asked to take actions\, both large and small to help make everyday life better for those with dementia. A range of fundraising events from sports events to bake-offs and quizzes will also be taking place across the UK. \nFor further information about what is going on in your area and how to get more involved visit www.alzheimers.org.uk \n

SUMMARY:Walk To School Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:It’s no surprise that the benefits of walking to school are being pushed harder than ever by Living Streets\, the UK charity that sells the benefits of two feet over four wheels. Childhood obesity is now a bigger issue than ever in the UK\, so the chance to get a few more Chelsea tractors off the roads for a five-day spell could make all the difference for the future health of kids around the UK. \nEvery year for a five-day spell\, Living Streets creates a themed challenge for schoolchildren and their significant others to take on while they’re doing the school walk. It’s become incredibly popular\, too; in 2017 alone\, 400\,000 children and their families took part in the challenge. \nWalk to School Week 2019 is 20-25 May. \n

SUMMARY:National Epilepsy Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:From May 20 to May 26\, National Epilepsy Week will be taking place to raise awareness for those affected by epilepsy\, what epilepsy is\, who’s affected and what can be done to help those who suffer from this condition.\nWhat is epilepsy?\nEpilepsy is a neurological condition that affects the brain and causes recurring seizures or fits in people. Due to an uncontrolled increase of excess electrical activity in the brain interfering with the normal functions\, this causes a short interruption to the relay of messages in the brain.\nWho’s affected?\nApproximately 500\,000 people in the England are diagnosed with epilepsy\, affecting people of all ages\, from newborns to the elderly.\nWhat can be done to help?\nLearning to recognise the symptoms of a seizure is a great place to start helping those affected\, as well as knowing what to do when a seizure occurs to minimise the harm done to both the person and those around them. You can also look into lobbying for more support for those affected by epilepsy\, so they can get the treatment and care they deserve. \nAll in all\, epilepsy is a condition affecting more people than you might think\, and by knowing the early warning signs and what to do when a seizure occurs can make a big difference helping those affected by the chronic condition. \n

SUMMARY:British Tomato Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:In a society fraught with uncertainty stemming from the roots of our day to day life\, the last thing we want is to have to worry about the source of our food. No one grows tomatoes quite like the British\, so that’s already one item you can check off your concern list. \nDue to our somewhat temperamental and stereotypically British weather\, British tomato crops have to be grown in glasshouses\, which provide a protective and warm environment in which the fruit can grow. These controlled conditions mean fewer pests\, fewer pesticides\, and less uncertainty as to what you are actually eating. \nFour out of five tomatoes now eaten in the UK are imported\, which is not good news for the British tomato farmer. Crops grown in the UK are ever increasing in quality\, reducing the need for importing fruits and vegetables which we would otherwise have to go without. \nMost of the time food which is healthy doesn’t actually taste that great\, meaning a high prevalence of fast food and other foods high in sugar and far. Tomatoes however contain vitamins\, minerals\, flavonoids\, and natural pigments\, making a tasty and natural snack which not only tastes great\, but is also good for you! \nBritish Tomato week runs from the 20th to the 26th of May\, so look out for British tomatoes everywhere you go. Don’t forget about other tomato products either\, ketchup\, soup\, and puree are all important parts of the British tomato world. \n

SUMMARY:World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development 2020
DESCRIPTION:Three-quarters of the world’s major conflicts have a cultural dimension. \nBridging the gap between cultures is urgent and necessary for peace\, stability and development. \nCultural diversity is a driving force of development\, not only with respect to economic growth\, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual\, emotional\, moral and spiritual life. This is captured in the seven culture conventions\, which provide a solid basis for the promotion of cultural diversity. Cultural diversity is thus an asset that is indispensable for poverty reduction and the achievement of sustainable development. \nAt the same time\, acceptance and recognition of cultural diversity  in particular through innovative use of media and Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs)  are conducive to dialogue among civilizations and cultures\, respect and mutual understanding. \nIn 2001\, UNESCO adopted the Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity and in December 2002\, the UN General Assembly\, in its resolution 57/249\, declared May 21 to be the World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development. \nThe day provides us with an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to advance the four goals of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions adopted on 20 October 2005: \n 	Support sustainable systems of governance for culture\n 	Achieve a balanced flow of cultural goods and services and increase mobility of artists and cultural professionals\n 	Integrate culture in sustainable development frameworks\n 	Promote human rights and fundamental freedoms \n

SUMMARY:World Goth Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re a full-blown cybergoth\, a J-goth\, gothabilly or anything in between\, World Goth Day is there to celebrate you. It started out as Goth Day in the UK in 2009\, but the following year\, organisers pushed it out to salute goths all around the world. \nIt was accidentally engineered by DJ Cruel Britannia\, who\, despite noting that goths tend to shy away from the limelight\, deserve a day to publicly embrace who they are. If you’ve gone to all that trouble to preserve what you believe is the ‘real you’\, he says\, don’t you think you owe it to yourself to shine for a day? \nWorld Goth Day celebrates the sub cultural aspects of the Goth subculture. Aspects of the culture like fashion\, music and art are celebrated by fashion shows\, art exhibitions and music performance. Many of the events feature local Goth bands\, and some have taken on a charity aspect with events in the UK and Australia supporting favoured charities like the UK Sophie Lancaster Foundation\, a charity that tries to curb prejudice and hatred against subcultures. \nThe event has evolved to be now celebrated by goths all around the world\, including the UK\, USA\, Canada\, Australia\, Singapore\, Brazil\, Mexico\, Spain\, Macendonia and South Africa. \n

SUMMARY:World Turtle Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Turtle Day is an annual event that has been taking place since 2000. It was founded by American Tortoise Rescue. \nThe purpose of World Turtle Day is to educate people about the things that they can do to protect the habitats of turtle and tortoises. It is also a celebration of the joy that these reptiles bring to so many people on a daily basis. \nThe day is celebrated in a number of ways all over the world. There are many people that dress as turtles while others may just decide to wear something green. People also get actively involved in projects that help rescue turtles that may be living in their local area. \nThere are also a number of resources that are made available to schools that teachers can use to create lessons around World Turtle Day. This is an important step in raising awareness in the future generation of the threats that turtles and tortoises face. It is also something that children enjoy getting involved in. \nAmerican Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990 by husband and wife team Susan Tellem and Marshall Thompson. It is a nonprofit organisation that rescues and rehabilitates all species of tortoise and turtle. It also does a lot of work on protecting the environments in which these animals live. They will always try and find new homes for the animals but if this is not possible then they will remain in the care of the ATR. \n

SUMMARY:National Taffy Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:May 23 is National Taffy Day. Today you can snack with your favorite candies at any time\, of course in form of celebration. \nTaffies are available in many flavors and colors. The most popular are fruit flavors\, like banana and lemon\, but actually anything can go. Even salt water! But the very first taffies were flavorless. Later molasses and vanilla were added to make candies better. That was the beginning of experiments with different flavors. Color experiments began much later and they were designated to match the flavor of the candies. One may think\, that chili taffy is the most unusual one\, but we disagree. Salt water taffy is the most interesting candy. Contrary to popular belief\, saltwater taffy isn’t made with saltwater\, but really contains water and salt. \nThere are many rumors on that how they were created. The most popular legend says\, that a candy store was flooded during the storm\, and the candies soaked in saltwater. When a little girl came to buy a taffy\, the owner said\, that she could offer her only salt water taffy. Little girl was delighted with it and bought one. She brought the candy to show her friends. Mother of shop owner heard the conversation and loved the name of the candy. That is how salt water taffy was born. \nChose your favorite taffies to celebrate the holiday and share them with your family and friends. \n

SUMMARY:European Neighbours' Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Every Year at the End of May is European Neighbour’s Day\nNeighbour’s Day celebrations take place all over the world. The European Neighbour’s Day is held at the end of may. Residents groups and housing organisations are encouraged to participate and organise their own individual events.\nWhat is the Goal of Neighbour’s Day?\nNeighbour’s day is organised by the European Federation of Local Solidarity. The aim of the day is to promote better community communication and cohesion. Social bonds are becoming thinner and people are leading more solitary lives. Neighbour’s Day is meant to counteract this and encourages people to have fun getting together. \nThe celebration was first launched in Paris in 2000. Ever since then\, more and more countries have been taking part. Last year\, for example\, there were more than 30 million participants from 36 different countries.\nHow You Can Take Part\nAll it takes to participate is the organising of a party with your neighbours. It could be in your own garden\, out in the street or in a local community hall. The idea is to get people together so that neighbours who rarely speak can talk to each other and have fun together. \nSupport is available from EFLS and there is even an award that housing associations\, organisers and mayors can put themselves forward for. A promotional video\, guide\, timetable and press kit is also provided for organisers needs. \n

SUMMARY:International Missing Children's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Missing Children’s Day is an awareness event that is observed every year on 25th May. The aims of the day are to place a spotlight on the issue of child abduction\, educate parents on safeguarding measures to protect their children and also honour those who have never been found and celebrate those who have. \nMissing Children’s Day began as an observance in the USA in 1983.

SUMMARY:English Wine Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Ah\, English wine  the most famous of all the continental blends. Yet sarcasm aside\, it’s not exactly a small industry any more. According to Wines of Great Britain  the organisers of English Wine Week  there are no fewer than 577 vineyards across the UK. While the colder climes might be a little sparser on the wine front  Scotland has four\, the north has 19 and Wales has 23  the south-east alone has 152 and the south-west has 136. \nAnd with Brexit coming fast and a huge question mark next to import tariffs\, maybe it’s time we developed a better understanding of what we can get domestically? And if English wine doesn’t end up being to your taste (but make sure you try wine from all 577 domestic producers first)\, at least we’ve got a pretty decent beer scene these days. \n

SUMMARY:National Wine Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:May 25 is National Wine Day. \nToday you can enjoy a glass or two of your favorite wine. By the way\, why don’t you add a splash of wine to your meal? \nWine has been known for ages. Food historians could trace it back to 6000 BC and it was produced in Georgia. By 4500 BC wine reached Balkans and became popular among the ancient Romans and Greeks.Wine played an important role in religion. \nRed wine was closely associated with blood in Ancient Egypt. The Greeks created a cult over wine and mysteries of Dionysus\, god of grape harvest\, wine making and wine. Judaism incorporated wine in Kiddush and Christianity in its Eucharist. Wine consumption is forbidden in Islam. \nDid you know that the Germans discovered the oldest bottle of wine during excavations of two Roman stone sarcophaguses in 1867? That bottle of wine dates back to at least 325 AD. Today this bottle is exhibited at the History Museum of the Pfalz in Germany. \nFind out if there are any wine activities at your local winery to celebrate the holiday. If there are no\, then organize your own wine tasting party for your friends. \n

SUMMARY:National Memorial Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Memorial Day in the USA is celebrated on the last Monday in May. \nAll men and women\, who gave their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces\, are commemorated on this day. National Memorial Day is formally known as Decoration Day\, the day that commemorated the Union and Confederate soldiers\, who died during the American Civil War. Later the day extended to honor all American soldiers\, who died while in the military service. \nTraditionally\, the flag of the USA is raised briskly to the top of the flagstaff\, then it is lowered to the half-staff position. This position is chosen in remembrance of those people\, who died for their country. At noon the flag is raised to full-staff as the symbol that the memory of dead soldiers is being raised by the living. Their sacrifice was not in vain\, that is why we rise up in their honor and continue fighting for liberty and justice. \nThousands of parades are held during National Memorial Day in all large and small cities. Most parades feature marching bands\, servicemen\, veterans and military vehicles from various wars also participate. \n

SUMMARY:World Hunger Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Everyone Deserves to Eat  Support World Hunger Day 2019\nIt has been estimated that almost 800 million people in the world don’t have enough food to eat. This is quite a staggering figure. In 2011\, The Hunger Project started an initiative known as World Hunger Day. Celebrating sustainable solutions to hunger and poverty is the aim of this day. 2018\, will see people\, organisations\, companies and communities marking this awareness day on May 28.\nWhat is The Hunger Project?\nIt is a global organisation committed to finding a tenable solution to world hunger. Leaders of this organisation include business executives\, heads of state and experts in women’s rights and social justice. It was founded in 1977 and is a worldwide\, non-profit group of like-minded people.\nWhat You Can do to Show Your Support\nOne of the most obvious ways is to make a donation to the The Hunger Project Trust. Money raised will go to help both men and women in developing countries become agents of their own development. There is a Social Media Toolkit that can be used for sharing posts on Facebook\, Twitter and Instagram. You can tell your friends about World Hunger Day and ask for their support.\nAre You Brave Enough to Try a Week Without Sugar?\nAnyone interested in showing their support is being encouraged to give up sugar for one week. That means no added\, processed sugar or artificial sweeteners. It won’t be easy but is a good way to show support for all the millions of people around the world who live below the poverty line and go to bed hungry every night. \n

SUMMARY:Oak Apple Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:As perhaps the most British day in the calendar\, Oak Apple Day has absolutely nothing to do with celebrating apples themselves and everything to do with the restoration of the monarchy\, following the rule of Oliver Cromwell and his anti-royal cohorts. Cromwell was a man so miserable that he banned Christmas\, and it was for this (but probably more the execution of Charles I) that he was dug up two years after he died and posthumously executed. What a time to be alive. \nOther names for Oak Apple Day include Restoration Day\, Royal Oak Day\, Shick Shack Day\, Packie Bonner Day\, Oak and Nettle Day\, and Yak Bob Day. Apart from Packie Bonner Day  we made that one up using the name of the former Celtic and Ireland goalkeeper. But you’d believe it if we left it in\, wouldn’t you? \n

SUMMARY:International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers 2020
DESCRIPTION:Every May 29th\, the world celebrates the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. \nThe United Nations Peacekeepers are a force made up of over 113\,000 people\, (though more than a million have served since it first started 70 years ago) both police forces and civilians. Created from 125 countries\, and serving in 14 missions all over the world currently. They are used to protect and care for civilians\, disarm ex-combatants\, ensure ceasefires are kept\, protect human rights\, the rules of law and supporting free and fair democracy. They also work tirelessly to make sure women’s voices are heard and growing in civilian\, military and political life. \nThe International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was created to celebrate the people who serve with the force and veterans of the service\, pay tribute to those who have lost their lives trying to make the world a better place through the force and help bring awareness of this force for good in the world. While many are aware of the Peacekeepers\, very few are aware of what missions it carries out constantly. The budget for the force is also only less than 0.5% of the money spent in military worldwide. \nThis year alone\, they are present in C√¥te d’Ivoire\, Haiti\, Liberia\, Southern Sudan\, Mali and continue to work across the globe on removing landmines and explosives abandoned after wars. These explosives continue to be a problem for many people trying to put their lives back together after war and expand farmland\, create new communities and just explore. \n

SUMMARY:National Biscuit Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Hoorah! The 29th May each year is National Biscuit Day\, so if you’re nuts about Ginger Nuts or more of a Custard Cream kind of a person –  (personally I don’t think there’s any excuse in the world for a Custard Cream being top of your dunking list\, but each to their own.) I’m pretty sure we can all agree that May 29th is up there with one of the best awareness days. \nSo normally we might put a little bit about the nations favourite biscuit\, the history of the biscuit\, a few biscuit facts etc but i’m not going to kid myself that you’re even still sat reading this. Far more likely that you’re already in the kitchen with the kettle on selecting your favourites from the biscuit tin right now! \nSo however you plan to pay homage to this frankly\, bloody awesome awareness day\, I guess all that’s left to say is Happy Dunking! \n

It’s similar to Mojito\, but rum was replaced by Bourbon. \nBartenders have their own trick to enhance the flavour- bruise the mint leaves a little before you add other ingredients\, then you’ll have a flavorful drink. \nThe drink can be made easily at home\, and can even be adapted so that it doesn’t contain alcohol.  Shake 65ml of bourbon in a glass with 10 mint leaves\, 12.5ml of sugar syrup and plenty of crushed ice.  Garnish your drink with a sprig of mint. Or if you are feeling adventurous and fancy something a bit more exotic\, there are all kinds of fruity amendments that can be made to the recipe. \nWhatever your tipple\, invite your friends over for a party with homemade mint julep. Enjoy this unique drink even when Kentucky Derby is over. The refreshing taste of mint julep is perfect for any hot summer day. \n

SUMMARY:World No-Tobbaco Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The World Health Organisation’s World No Tobacco Day is every year on 31st May. It was created to bring awareness to more people about the dangers and health risks of smoking tobacco\, and ultimately\, to stop use of tobacco around the world. \nThe vast majority of the population of the developed countries is aware of the dangers of tobacco and smoking. Over 7 million people are killed across the globe by smoking Tobacco alone. Many of us know it is believed to be the leading cause of throat and lung cancers\, and a major risk factor in many other types of cancer. However\, what is little known is that smoking tobacco is one of the main cause of heart problems and diseases. The aim of World No Tobacco Day is to highlight this issue. \nTobacco use and second-hand smoke are known to contribute to around 12% of all deaths from heart disease and is the second leading cause of Cardio Vascular Disease\, second only to high blood pressure (which smoking can also contribute to). While these numbers are bad for smokers\, it’s important to remember that nearly 900\,000 people are killed by breathing in second-hand smoke. The World No Tobacco Day also wants to highlight this issue that smokers don’t just affect their health\, but that of the people and loved ones around them. \nFinally\, the WHO wants to bring awareness to the fact that of the over 1 billion people worldwide that smoke\, nearly 80% of those are in low-income countries where tobacco-related disease and death will have the hardest impact. \n

SUMMARY:Volunteers Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers Week is celebrated between 1st and 7th June every year. It is a week in which the UK celebrates volunteers and says thank you to them for the contribution that they make. The week also raises awareness about the benefits becoming a volunteer and the diverse volunteering roles that are available. \nAs well as helping others\, Volunteering has been shown to have a positive impact on the lives of those who volunteer\, assisting volunteers in gaining new skills and boosting self-esteem. There are many voluntary organisations in the UK that rely on volunteers to help others. \nFirst established in 1984 by Volunteering England\, the event is now coordinated by NCVO (the National Council for Voluntary Organisations). During the week stories about volunteering are shared on social media and hundreds of celebrations and events take place. \nIn 2018 the theme for Volunteers Week is Volunteering for All to celebrate the fact that volunteers can come from all communities and all walks of life\, carrying out a diverse range of roles. The theme is also designed to help organisations think about how they can successfully open up volunteering opportunities to all and increase diversity in their volunteer base and trustees. \nFurther information about Volunteers Week and information about becoming a volunteer can be found at www.volunteersweek.org \n

SUMMARY:SANDS (Stillbirth and neonatal death charity) Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:SANDS (Stillbirth and neonatal death charity) Awareness Month 2019 is in June\, and is an annual event run by SANDS (Stillbirth and neonatal death charity)\, to raise awareness of the facts and impacts relating to neonatal deaths and stillbirths. The loss of a child in pregnancy or childbirth affects parents for life\, but the wider public are not always aware of the full impact of such a tragedy. \nThe aim of the month is to raise funds as well as awareness\, to support research into neonatal death. Often the causes of death are unknown\, but many neonatal deaths and stillbirths have no apparent cause\, which is an extra anguish to the bereaved parents. Up to 15 babies a day die during pregnancy and labour or shortly after birth in the UK. \nSANDS is a national UK charity which provides free support to bereaved parents in the forms of individual and group support\, and relies on donations to be able to provide this service. \nThe awareness month offers vital fundraising opportunities to ensure that the money is raised to provide that vital support\, to make sure that parents can cope with the bereavement as best possible and understand that they are not to blame for the baby’s death when sometimes there are no answers as to why it happened and to help them to keep coping with life during a difficult time that sometimes others around them may struggle to understand or know what to say. \nThis year’s Awareness Month is using orange and blue bunting and lights to highlight events\, and organizations and individuals can take part and display posters at their fundraising and awareness events. \n

SUMMARY:National Candy Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:June is National Candy Month! \nEstablished by the National Confectioners Association\, the month of June is used as away of celebrating over 100 years of candy production. \nAs well as celebrating the fact that we have had candy in our lives for over 100 years\, the National Confectioners Association also likes to highlight the economic impact that the industry has had ( directly employing over 55\,000 people)  and the success of the manufacturing story associated with candy production.  For every one job within the industry\, seven other roles are created in associated industries- it is fair to say therefore that the candy industry makes a significant impact on our economy. \nIn a world where consumers demand more and more information about the food they eat\, the awareness month is also an opportunity to educate consumers allowing them to make informed choices about their favourite confectionery.  The ‘Always a Treat’ Initiative launched by the NCA aims to go one step further than providing information about what it is that consumers are purchasing\, but also offers advice and guidelines on portion control and the consumption of sweet treats as part of a balanced lifestyle. \nUse hashtags #NationalCandyMonth #Alwaysatreat #Randomactofsweetness \nSo get involved and treat yourself to some candy.  Eat candy responsibly! \n  \n

SUMMARY:World Milk Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:RAISE A GLASS A CAMPAIGN TO CELEBRATE WORLD MILK DAY 2019 \nTHE INSIGHT\nThis universal gesture of celebration lies at the heart of all communities.\nTHE IDEA\nWe say Cheers’\, Mma manu’\, Yam sing‚to the parents who make sure there’s always a carton in the fridge\, to the hard working dairy farmers\, to the organisations who provide dairy supplements to help tackle famine and malnutrition\, to the huge network of people who help us to enjoy milk. \nAs we Raise a Glass to milk\, we connect with others and invite them to join the celebration that the goodness represents. It allows us to share the stories about all the goodness of milk and all the people who produce it. It offers a simple\, natural way to recognize the people who matter most to us ‚ in our communities\, schools and homes. \nBack in 2001\, somebody decided that the world should take a day to celebrate anything and everything related to milk. They requested that the FAO (the Food and Agriculture Organisations of the United Nations) should put forward a specific day for these festivities they selected June 1st\, and the rest his history! \nThe tradition of celebrating World Milk Day on June 1st came from the fact that many countries were already celebrating World Milk Day on or around this date. A date in late May was originally proposed\, but some countries felt that they already had too many holidays around this time. As a result\, June 1st became the special day dedicated to milk. \nWorld Milk Day puts a lot of attention on milk and does a great job in publicising activities connected with the milk industry. The fact that many countries around the globe all choose this specific day for World Milk Day shows that milk is a food that is cherished worldwide. \n

SUMMARY:World Hypoparathyroidism Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Hypoparathyroidism Awareness Day 2020 is an international annual awareness day that is held on June 1st\, which is the designated day for the event each year. \nThis event is run internationally by a cooperation of the following charities\, with other organizations supporting them\, The Hypoparathyroidism Association Inc.\, The Hypopara UK\, The Nordic HPTH Organisation\, The Bahrain Hypoparathyroidism Society\, and InSeNSU. The Hypoparathyroidism Association Inc are the founders\, with the other organizations joining them. \nHypoparathyroidism is a rare condition\, affecting 4 in 15\,000 people\, and which is often misdiagnosed and not well understood. The condition affects the body’s production of parathyroid\, a hormone that regulates the body’s levels of calcium and phosphorus\, the condition has to be monitored and treated with supplements and medication. One of the main issues is very low calcium levels\, affecting the strength and development of bones\, teeth and nails as well as affecting the nervous system. \nThe condition can affect children and adults\, and it is seen in males and females equally. There is no known cause of the disease\, except that in some cases it is triggered by neck surery\, and there is no cure. \nSufferers of Hypoparathyroidism struggle to get diagnosis and the necessary treatment\, which is why an awareness day is vital. The day provides education and awareness to the community\, sufferers and health professionals. \n

SUMMARY:Pride Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:An Annual LGBT Pride Celebration\nEvery year\, during the month of June\, the LGBT community celebrates in a number of different ways. Across the globe\, various events are held during this special month as a way of recognising the influence LGBT people have had around the world. Why was June chosen? Because it is when the Stonewall Riots took place\, way back in 1969. \nAs well as being a month long celebration\, Pride month is also an opportunity to peacefully protest and raise political awareness of current issues facing the community. Parades are a prominent feature of Pride month\, and there are many street parties\, community events\, poetry readings\, public speaking\, street festivals and educational sessions all of which are covered by mainstream media and attracting millions of participants. \nThe New York Pride Parade is one of the largest and most well known parades to take place\, with an estimated 500\,000 people participating in it by the time it had reached its 25th anniversary. \nPride Month is so important because it marks the start of huge change within the LGBT+ community\, as well as the wider societal implications. Although attitudes and injustice still remain\, we have come a long way since the riots of 1969 and by continuing in this long standing tradition we continue to raise awareness\, improve the attitudes of society and encourage inclusiveness. #Pride2020\nWhat were the Stonewall Riots?\nThe riots were prompted by a raid that took place during the early morning\, at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village\, Manhattan. The LGBT community held a series of spontaneous\, often violent demonstrations to protest against the raid and calling for the establishment of places that gays and lesbians could go and be open about their sexual orientation. In such places there should be no fears of being arrested. The riots served as a catalyst for the rights of LGBT people\, and within 6 months\, 2 gay activist groups had formed in New York. Over the years since the event\, many gay rights organisations have been formed. Not just in the US but around the world.\nWhat is LGBT or Gay Pride?\nIt is a movement that celebrates sexual diversity. For lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people it is a way of protesting about discrimination and violence. It promotes their dignity\, equal rights\, self-affirmation and is a way of increasing society’s awareness of the issues they face.\nWho Started the June Celebration?\nKnown as the “Mother of Pride”\, it was Brenda Howard who coordinated the first LGBT Pride march. As well as sparking the idea for a week of events around Pride Day. These events then developed into the annual LGBT celebrations held every June. \n

SUMMARY:Heart Rhythm Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Heart Rhythm Week is an annual event which will run between the 3rd  9th June in 2019. This is organised by the Arrhythmia Alliance\, a coalition of patients\, charities and professionals who work together to promote effective diagnosis and treatment of heart arrhythmia (a disorder affecting the rhythm of the heartbeat). The aim of World Heart Rhythm Week is to raise awareness of the symptoms of heart arrhythmia in both the general public and medical profession. \nIn 2018\, the theme of the week was Take Fainting to Heart. Fainting can be the first sign of a problem for someone suffering from heart arrhythmia\, and the message that World Heart Rhythm Week is trying to spread this year is that fainting should not be ignored. \nDuring the week\, the Arrhythmia Alliance is asking its supporters to help spread the word by sharing information on social media\, displaying information in public places\, hosting awareness activities or simply making a donation. \nThroughout the community\, on these dates\, there will be extra information about heart arrhythmia on display in GP surgeries\, schools and community centres. There will also be activities such as the Pulse Check Challenge at health centres and community groups and fundraising events such as quiz nights\, cake sales and coffee mornings. \nFurther information about Heart Arrhythmia and World Heart Rhythm Week can be found at www.arrhythmiaalliance.org.uk \n

SUMMARY:Legs Matter Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:This Legs Matter Week we’re shining a spotlight on the nation’s legs and feet. \nDid you know that non-healing wounds of the leg and foot are one of the UK’s biggest health challenges? Despite this\, conditions of the leg and foot do not currently receive the care or attention they urgently need. \nEvery day\, thousands of people’s quality of life is devastated by the lack of awareness\, prompt diagnosis and correct treatment of lower leg and foot conditions. \nThis can and must change. \nChronic wound care costs the NHS between ¬£4.5  5.1 billion each year. More than 40% of these wounds are leg and foot ulcers.\nGuest J et al (2015) \nMany people have problems with their lower legs and feet. Leg ulcers are at least four times more common than pressure ulcers and care is too often inappropriate or too slow. (Guest et al 2015.). \nThere is a lot that can be done to heal wounds on the lower legs and feet but frontline clinicians such as GPs\, nurses and pharmacists may not be aware of the most appropriate prevention and treatment options. \nOur campaign signposts you to the information and services that can help you get the care you need or\, if you are caring for people with problems with their lower legs and feet\, help you provide the right care for your patients. \nSomeone with a lower leg or foot condition will encounter a number of people along their journey to diagnosis and a treatment  from the pharmacist\, to the community nurse\, to the GP and beyond. We want to make sure that every single person on that journey  including the patient themselves  has the information they need to take the next best step towards healthy\, pain-free legs and feet. \nJoin us for a great big week for legs and feet! \n

SUMMARY:National Egg Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Which came first: the chicken or the egg? \nWe’re not really going to look for the answer to this mind blowingly hard question! \nInstead\, lets celebrate the humble egg on June 3rd\, National Egg Day 2020! \nThe annual national celebration of the egg is believed to have started in 1921 in Washington State when a new highway that was to be used for the transportation of poultry and eggs was opened officially. A fledgling poultry and egg industry was emerging from the town of Winlock and some wise entrepreneurs capitalised on the opportunity to raise the profile of their industry and town by making the event an annual one. The town now holds and Egg Day Festival and crowns one lucky person the Egg Day Queen and Princess! \nThe day is preceded by National Egg Month in May\, sponsored by the American Egg Board but we like the idea of supporting this small town in their celebrations and achievements in the egg industry. So\, how can we celebrate? EAT THEM OF COURSE! \nWe all know that eggs are inexpensive source of protein and vitamin D. They are one of the healthiest foods you can find. And if you’re tired of usual fried eggs\, try cooking them one of the many many other ways: scrambled\, poached\, boiled\, sunny-side up eggs are to name a few. \nWhy not challenge yourself and see how many of your meals today you can make with eggs? \nCook you favorite eggs to Celebrate National Egg Day! \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression 2020
DESCRIPTION:The International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression is an annual United Nations observance day on June 4th each year including 2019. \nThe day was decided upon in August 1982 at a special assembly of the United Nations (UN)\, when member states recognised the significance of the impact of armed conflict on children and the need for action to be taken and awareness to be raised. The assembly adopted the 51/77 Resolution on the rights of the Child\, which was created out of already ongoing efforts to protect the rights of children in conflict. The impact of the war in Lebanon was the inspiration for this day. \nViolence against children in conflict zones has been increasing\, and up to 250 million children in contries affected by conflict are vulnerable. The UN recognizes that more needs to be done to protect the rights of these children and highlight their suffering. There are numerous harms to children in conflict\, including death\, sexual violence\, abduction\, denial of humanitarian access\, and attacks on schools and hospitals. \nInternational Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression affirms the UN commitment to protecting the rights of children\, and the aim is to highlight the suffering of children who are victim to abuses as a result of conflict. It is an opportunity for the global public to learn about the suffering of children in conflict zones. \n

SUMMARY:Hug Your Cat Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Hug Your Cat Day\, sometimes referred to as National Hug Your Cat Day\, is an unofficial holiday celebrated on June 4. \nIt is a perfect opportunity for all cat owners to express a little extra love to their furry companions. The origin of Hug Your Cat is unknown\, which is quite common for unofficial fun holidays. But do you really need justification to give a hug to your furry friend? Go ahead and give your cat a big squeeze! \nIf your cat is a cuddler\, consider yourself lucky. You can curl up on your couch\, cuddling with your cat. In case your pet is not fond of hugs\, make it quick and beware of claws. Not only is cuddling with cats pleasant\, it is also believed to be beneficial for human health. Cats are thought to be able to improve the psychological state of their owners by alleviating negative moods. \nAccording to studies\, cat purring helps reduce stress levels and makes us feel calmer\, which is good for our cardiovascular system. If you don’t have your own cat to hug\, ask a friend who owns a cat to lend you their pet for some much needed cuddling. We are sure they won’t deny you! Or you can adopt a cat from a local shelter and hug your new pet as much as you want. \nIf you are allergic to cats\, you can at least watch cute cat videos on YouTube or cat gifs on Tumlbr. \n

SUMMARY:National Cheese Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:June 4 is National Cheese Day. There are many food holidays\, that are dedicated to dishes with cheese\, but today we honor only cheese. \nAs I am sure you are all aware\, cheese is an ancient food made of milk. There are many factors that contribute to they type and taste of cheese that is available: country of origin\, diet of the animal\, whether it has been pasteurised\, how long it has been aged and (don’t be disturbed) the mold and bacteria. Therefore cheese is available in a wide range of flavors\, textures and forms. Milk from goats\, cows\, sheep\, buffalo can be used for cheese production. Different spices\, fruit and even wood smoke are used as flavor agents\, that give cheese unique taste and texture. \nIn 2014\, world production of cheese from whole cow milk was 18.7 million tonnes\, with the United States accounting for 29% (5.4 million tonnes) of the world total followed by Germany\, France and Italy as major producers. Despite these huge figures in relation to cheese production\, the USA are not considered the largest exporter of cheese as the majority of domestic cheese production is consumed nationally. \nCheese is high in fat\, calcium and protein and has some excellent health benefits but… always consume in moderation! We think that the best way to eat cheese is to serve it on a cheese plate with grapes\, olives\, tomatoes and some crackers or fresh bread. \nDid you know that apparently you should never serve cheese cold? The best way of serving it is to let it stand for about half an hour at room temperature. Warm cheese is more flavorful and its texture is much better. \nInvite your friends over for a cheese (and wine) party to celebrate National Cheese Day. Why not see if you can compete with the folks in Wisconsin where a cheeseboard 70 feet (21 m) long was used to feature the variety of cheeses manufactured in Wisconsin and where the state legislature recognizes a “cheesehead” hat as a state symbol? That would be a serious cheese party! Beware of the cheese head ache! \n

SUMMARY:Men's Health Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:On the 10th-16th June the world celebrates Men’s Health Week. This is a time to bring awareness to health issues that affect men disproportionately and focuses on getting men to become aware of problems they may have or could develop\, and gain the courage to do something about it. \nLast year the focus was on Diabetes in men. This is a disease that becomes present in men much more than women\, and can develop complications in male bodies at a higher rate than in females. This means men are more likely to have to have amputations and in the worst cases\, die in higher numbers than women. While much work has been done in the diagnosis and fight against Diabetes\, awareness is the most important thing. The more people are aware of it\, the more likely they are to make healthy changes and stop or delay the onset of diabetes. \nEach year Men’s Health Week becomes bigger and more well-known\, so if you’re a man that wants to do more\, or a woman that wants to inform a man you love about it\, then get spreading the word! The more well-known the week becomes\, the more men will feel like it’s OK to talk about their health issues and not just push them to the side and ignore health problems away! \nYou can help Men’s Health Week out by going to the Mens Health Forum website and sign up to spread the word\, or donate to their cause! \n

SUMMARY:National Patient Participation Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Patient Participation Week 2019 is a national event held each June and aims to raise the profile of Patient Participation Groups (PPGs) who work with the NHS\, especially in GP surgeries\, to help steer NHS treatment by using the experiences and evaluations of NHS patients. \nPatient Participants use lived experience to influence the way patients are treated by GPs and medical professionals. The week also promote the work of the National Association of Patient Participation\,(NAPP)\, which allows patient participation groups to work together nationally. \nPPGs are a contractual requirement\, meaning that NHS medical Centres and GP services have to have a patient participant group and thus receive patient feedback to influence the way treatment of patients is carried out. The idea of patient participation was raised in 1974\, so it has been around for three decades now\, and has progressed to being a mandatory\, nationwide and coherent movement. \nAims of the day include honouring the work of participants and encouraging new participants. as well as making the general public aware that Patient Participation groups exist and advertising the work that the groups carry out in helping health professionals to understand treatment both medical and personal\, from the patient’s point of view. A quality control service from those on the receiving end of medical treatment and a voice for each surgery’s users. \nPatient Participation week offers talks\, conferences\, information events\, open days at medical centres\, and more. Anything that publicises patient participation. \n

SUMMARY:Sewing Machine Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:A Day That Celebrates the Invention of the Sewing Machine\nHow many of you have heard of National Sewing Machine Day? We’d put money on there only being a few. Who is responsible for creating this unusual day? We really couldn’t find a culprit. What is its purpose? To celebrate the invention of the sewing machine of course. It is observed every year on June 13\, and 2019 will be no different.\nWho Invented the Sewing Machine?\nThis is a much easier question to answer. It was English inventor Thomas Saint who applied for the first sewing machine patent\, in 1790. The design for Thomas’s sewing machine was never taken any further\, and there is no evidence that his machine for stitching leather and canvas was ever made. \nA working model of a sewing machine wasn’t made until 1874. A guy named William Newton Wilson found the drawings made by Saint in the Patent Office in London. He made some adjustments to the design and went on to build a working model. This model is now on display in the London Science Museum. \nSewing machines have been used in industrial settings for many years\, and it wasn’t all that long ago you would have found one in many people’s homes. They went out of fashion for several years\, with the influx of cheap manufactured clothes and furnishings. But are currently enjoying a bit of a revival. \nIf you want to celebrate National Sewing Machine Day\, the best way to do it is to get stitching and make something for yourself or your family. \n

SUMMARY:Cupcake Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Savour Something Sweet on Cupcake Day 2019\nPeople who have a sweet tooth are sure to love Cupcake Day 2019. This special event takes place on June 13th and is held each year to raise money to help the fight against dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Whether you like to bake or simply show your support by purchasing cupcakes to munch\, this is a great way to help people in your local community. \nThe fight against dementia is an important one as this is the most significant cause of death among people who live in England and Wales. Unfortunately\, no cure for dementia has been discovered as yet and research continues\, while the large number of people who suffer from this disease means that the cost of care is very high. \nFortunately\, Cupcake Day provides a significant way of helping and has raised ¬£2.7 million since 2016 in England on this day alone. A large part of the money raised went to opening special dementia cafes where people who suffer from the disease have a welcoming place to gather with their carers and support each other while enjoying a little light refreshment. \nA large number of cafes\, churches and other types of institutions are set to take part in Cupcake Day 2019. There are hundreds of easy to follow cupcake recipes to choose from and this is the perfect opportunity to get busy in the kitchen for a good cause. If baking is not your forte\, make sure you grab a special fundraising kit and help to raise much needed funds and awareness. \n

SUMMARY:World Blood Donor Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Blood Donor Day 2019 . It is an annual event\, usually on the same date each year\, to thank voluntary blood donors and acknowledge them and encourage blood donation and new donors\, especially by representing how blood donations have saved and changed lives. The Day has the slogan ‘Share Life\, Give Blood’\, referring to the caring and cohesion that giving blood and caring for others involves. \nOne of the aims of the day is to encourage younger people\, who might be a bit nervous or unsure about giving blood\, to feel encouraged to sign up and start donating\, so that the donor population doesn’t decline but stays strong. It is also to highlight the need to for donations to be regular in order to keep stocks and quality of blood donations high. \nBlood donation saves millions of lives annually and helps with the recovery and health of patients who have illnesses or injuries\, complex operations or childbirth problems. Blood stocks are also essential in natural and man-made disasters. Some blood types are rare\, so promoting the need for rare donor types is also part of this event. World Blood Donor Day is vital in highlighting the need for blood donors and regular donations. \nMany countries still have a shortage of donors\, and thus World Blood Donor Day is vital to these countries to raise awareness of blood donation and thus increase supply in order to save as many lives as possible. \n

SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2019 is held on June 15th and is an annual international UN observance day on the same date each year. The day came about as a result of UN resolution 66/127. \nWith a growing global population of elderly people\, and as longevity increases\, abuse of the elderly is an increasing and serious problem that affects health and human rights and can cause death\, so it is vital to raise awareness of it and thus prevent it whenever and wherever possible. \nElder abuse is global and comes in many forms including physical\, emotional\, sexual and financial abuse and also neglect. Elderly people are human and deserve the same dignity and respect as people of all other age groups. \nElderly people are particularly vulnerable to abuse and to being unable to defend themselves and get help as fear and infirmity can be major barriers to seeking and getting help\, and sometimes spotting and challenging abuse in the elderly isn’t easy\, some are isolated having outlived family and friends\, and some are abused in institutions where abuse is not spotted or is covered up\, and in some cases the elderly are not given priority by authorities in abuse matters. \nThe UN aims to raise awareness of elder abuse and prevent it\, and on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day\, communities and the press and media can run events and highlight the danger of elder abuse and what can be done to prevent it and what to do if it is spotted. \n

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2020

Many schools across the country take part on these dates\, and by synchronizing Bug Busting across the country you can help prevent lice from circulating from head to head and back again. \n 	Often cases are light and easily missed and remain contagious if the Bug Busting wet combing method is not used.\n 	Parents must learn to check the efficacy of any treatment choice because none guarantees a complete cure. \n

SUMMARY:World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought 2020
DESCRIPTION:Since 1994\, June 17th has been the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to draw public attention to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification and it has been celebrated ever since. \nDesertification is an increasing ecological problem. It occurs when previously fertile land becomes desert through deforestation\, drought or improper agriculture. The Convention specifically covers the areas of the planet which are the most at risk of desertification. These areas are often home to some of the most vulnerable people and eco-systems. Each June 17th\, the World Day to Combat Desertification is promoted worldwide to raise public awareness of\, and support for\, international efforts in combating desertification and the effects of drought. \nThe 196 parties to the convention try to improve living conditions for people in these areas by restoring and maintaining the soil fertility and by mitigating the effects of drought. The parties encourage participation by local people on schemes to fight desertification and land degradation such as tree planting. They firmly believe that land degradation neutrality is possible though strong community involvement and cooperation at all levels. \nThe UNCCD Secretariat\, the country parties to the convention and its stakeholders try to educate the public about effective methods to work the land without causing degradation. The invested organisations celebrate the day by organising outreach programmes and by holding awareness raising events. \n

SUMMARY:Refugee Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Refugee Week takes place every year across the world in the week around World Refugee Day on the 20 June. In the UK\, Refugee Week is a nationwide programme of arts\, cultural and educational events that celebrate the contribution of refugees to the UK\, and encourages a better understanding between communities. \nRefugee Week started in 1998 as a direct reaction to hostility in the media and society in general towards refugees and asylum seekers. An established part of the UK’s cultural calendar\, Refugee Week is now one of the leading national initiatives working to counter this negative climate\, defending the importance of sanctuary and the benefits it can bring to both refugees and host communities. \nThe aims of Refugee Week are: \n 	To encourage a diverse range of events to be held throughout the UK\, which facilitate positive encounters between refugees and the general public in order to encourage greater understanding and overcome hostility\n 	To showcase the talent and expertise that refugees bring with them to the UK\n 	To explore new and creative ways of addressing the relevant issues and reach beyond the refugee sector\n 	To provide information which educates and raises awareness of the reality of refugee experiences \nOur ultimate aim is to create better understanding between different communities and to encourage successful integration\, enabling refugees to live in safety and continue making a valuable contribution. \nRefugee Week is an umbrella festival\, with events held by a wide range of arts\, voluntary\, faith and refugee community organisations\, schools\, student groups and more. Past events have included arts festivals\, exhibitions\, film screenings\, theatre and dance performances\, concerts\, football tournaments and public talks\, as well as creative and educational activities in schools. \nThrough Refugee Week we aim to provide an important opportunity for asylum seekers and refugees to be seen\, listened to and valued. \nJoin us in celebrating Refugee Week! \n

SUMMARY:Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Awareness Week 2019 takes place between June 17th and 23\, and is an annual event to raise awareness of the condition and the impact on sufferers and their families. The event is run by the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS)\, which is a registered charity. \nRA awareness week gives supporters an opportunity to help to raise awareness of the condition in a number of ways\, including doing video recordings of themselves discussing the impact of the disease. Another awareness opportunity is for participants to run information stands in public places and hospitals and putting up posters. NRAS offers participants information packs and helps to promote their events. \nRA is a painful autoimmune disease that affects joints as the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints\, leading to inflammation and stiffness\, and it isn’t restricted to joints\, it also affects the body’s organs\, for example heart and lungs. The condition is seen in women more than in men\, and affects approximately 1% of the UK population. It is a hidden condition\, meaning that people do not always realize that sufferers are living with the disease. \nThe condition is not the same arthritis that affects older people\, which is known as osteoarthritis\, but can affect people of any age\, and can either have an early onset\, in teenage years\, or start at any time in an adult’s life. There is no known cure\, but advances in medicine mean that treatment can be very effective in reducing pain and symptoms. \n

SUMMARY:Learning Disability Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Last years\, Learning Disability Week was all about health – with a big focus on the Treat me well campaign. \nSimple changes in hospital care can make a big difference  better communication\, more time and clearer information. \nBut we know the treatment people with a learning disability get in hospital is still not good enough in many parts of the country. This has to change. \nIf you’re a hospital worker\, be the change by becoming a Treat me well Champion. \n1\,200 people with a learning disability die avoidably every year. And people with a learning disability die younger than the rest of the population by 17 years on average. \nThis has to change\, and better hospital care is a huge part of this. Sign up as a Treat me well Champion to play your part. \nWhat will you do as a Treat me well Champion? \nAs a Treat me well Champion\, you’ll get tailored information\, access to training opportunities and campaigning resources to help you bring about change in your own hospitals. \nYou’ll have a chance to meet other hospital staff and people with a learning disability who want change locally and nationally. \nWhat’s the Treat me well campaign about? \nWe want hospital staff to understand the simple changes that make a big difference for people with a learning disability in hospital: more time\, better communication and clearer information. \nWe’re also calling on the Government to make training on learning disability mandatory for hospital workers. \nWhere can you find out more? \nOn the Mencap website. Visit our Treat me well pages to read the campaign report\, watch video content and find out more about what’s coming soon. \n

SUMMARY:loneliness awareness week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Loneliness Awareness Week 17-21 June 2019 \nAs a charity specifically dedicated to raising awareness of loneliness\, we are aware of the stigma that is still attached to it. \nWe want to change the perception around loneliness and help people to understand that feeling lonely is completely normal. \nIn 2017 we launched the UK’s first ever Loneliness Awareness Week (LAW) and will now be running the campaign annually in June each year. Loneliness and social isolation is something we can’t ignore. \nAs social creatures\, we need to attend to our loneliness just as we would eat if we’re hungry. Social connections are fundamental to our daily existence and help give meaning and purpose in our lives. \nWe want LAW to be an occasion where people come together and take actions to connect. We believe everyone will be affected by loneliness at some point in their lives.  For many\, it is a transitory feeling but for others\, it can become chronic and have a serious impact on a person’s health and wellbeing. LAW aims to generate positive action to help combat it. \nLoneliness statistics: \n 	Three out of four GPs say they see between 1 and 5 people a day who have come in mainly because they are lonely\nLoneliness can be as harmful to health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day\nThe UK is the loneliest country in Europe (UK Gov Survey 2017)\nAround 200\,000 older people have not had a conversation with a friend or relative in more than a month\nUp to 85% of young disabled adults  18-34 year olds  feel lonely \nTo get involved in Loneliness Awareness Week 2019 please keep an eye out for further details on our website www.marmaladetrust.org and social media platforms (twitter\, facebook and instagram). \n

SUMMARY:Neighbour's Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:  \nGetting to know your neighbours can not only come in handy when you need a cup of sugar or collecting a parcel\, it can also be a great way of fostering new friendships. \nBut the reality is we’re often too busy\, and too conscious of being intrusive\, to prioritise making time for them. These divides are often not deliberate but just the way things are’. \n  \nSince Amstel was first brewed in 1870 by two friends who wanted to share a better bier\, Amstel has always been about fostering friendships over a pint of bier. After finding that over half of Brits don’t know their neighbour’s name and only 4 in 10 feel connected to their local community\, Amstel\, a brand that champions bringing people together\, has launched an official awareness event\, Neighbours‚Week (17  23 June 2019)\, which encourages neighbours across the country to come together at the heart of the community  the local pub. \nOnce you get to know your neighbours\, Amstel’s found the biggest benefits are more friendships (33%) and a greater sense of community (29%); so you not only feel at home within your own four walls and behind your fence\, but the entire neighbourhood becomes a much-needed local support system. \nThe study\, conducted by Amstel in collaboration with OnePoll\, shed a light on the number of people who don’t know their neighbours in the UK. \n Only 5% of people feel very close to their neighbour\n Over half of Brits don’t know what their neighbour’s name is\n 31% of people don’t know what their neighbours look like\n Over 70% wouldn’t invite a neighbour round for a party\n Only 4 in 10 feel connected to their local community\n Out of the 12 regions in the UK\, Londoner’s felt the most distant to their neighbours\n Londoner’s are the most likely people in the UK to gain more friendships by being closer to their neighbours\n Nearly half of people agree that more events at pubs would make it easier for them to socialise with their neighbours \nWith thousands of pubs at the heart of communities and a natural space for bringing people together\, Neighbours‚Week means that you no longer need to wait for the next street party to connect with your neighbour. Whether that’s joining in a knees-up\, breaking the ice at a comedy night\, quizzing each other at games evening\, hosting live performances\, or simply sharing a bier – Amstel encourages you to get down to your local to celebrate Neighbours‚Week. \n  \nYou can get involved in the chat around neighbours week on Facebook \, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #NeighboursWeek or catch us on You Tube \n

SUMMARY:Plastic Free beauty Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Plastic Free Beauty Day\, which We Are Paradoxx will be launching on the 17th of June – a campaign for consumers and the industry alike. The UN has predicted that if the rate of waste production continues\, by 2050 our oceans will carry more plastic than fish and an estimated 99 per cent of seabirds will have ingested plastic. The UN also declared our current situation a planetary crisis. The Beauty industry and its contribution to this MUST make a change. We are calling all brands\, consumers and retailers to JOIN US and reconsider their use of plastic\, whether it be virgin\, recycled or reclaimed from the sea because the problem is that it ends up back in the sea or landfill which makes the type of plastic irrelevant. There is no such thing as good plastic. \nWe Are Paradoxx will take to the street’s of London on Monday 17th of June. Educating consumers on the issues around the misconceptions around recycled plastics\, that this is only delaying the problem for future generations. Collecting beauty waste and packaging throughout the day\, to promote and showcase how brands\, retailers and consumers alike can make small changes to make a big difference. To make informed choices\, choosing more sustainable materials\, such as aluminium that can be recycled on an infinite loop. \n

SUMMARY:Autistic Pride Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, organisations from across the globe celebrate Autistic Pride Day on June 18 with a variety of events. The aim of this day is to raise awareness amongst those who are not on the autistic spectrum disorder so they do not see autistic people as requiring treatment\, but as unique individuals. \nThis annual event was first celebrated by Aspies for Freedom in 2005 and they modelled Autistic Pride Day on the gay pride movement. One of the most significant aspects of the day is that it is not run by charities; it is run by autistic people themselves. Since its beginnings\, Autistic Pride Day has been a community event and not a day for other organisations to promote themselves by stifling autistic people. It is now a global celebration that takes place predominantly online. \nAutistic Pride Day is represented by the rainbow infinity symbol. This symbol is intended to represent the diversity of autistic people and the infinite possibilities and variations within the autistic community. \nAccording to representatives of Autistic Pride Day\, people with autism have unique characteristics that provide them with both rewards and challenges. Although many of the difficulties they face are because of their neurodiversity\, another factor is issues in society. For example\, society’s attitude towards autism is often one of pity or a belief that it is a condition requiring treatment. \nActivists want to shift attitudes away from this and towards acceptance and the realisation that autism is a difference rather than a disability. \n

SUMMARY:Sustainable Gastronomy Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Gastronomy Day emphasizes the need to focus the world’s attention on the role that sustainable gastronomy can play. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nThe UN General Assembly adopted on 21 December 2016 its resolution A/RES/71/246 and designated 18 June as an international observance\, Sustainable Gastronomy Day. \nThe decision acknowledges gastronomy as a cultural expression related to the natural and cultural diversity of the world. It also reaffirms that all cultures and civilizations are contributors and crucial enablers of sustainable development. \nSustainable gastronomy can play a role due to its interlinkages with the three dimensions of sustainable development\, in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by promoting: \n 	agricultural development;\n 	food security;\n 	nutrition;\n 	sustainable food production; and\n 	conservation of biodiversity. \nA pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development: geographical indications (GIs)\nThe promotion of linkages between local producers\, their local areas and their food products through geographical indications (GIs) is recognised as a pathway to nutritious food systems and sustainable development for rural communities throughout the world. The quality and specific attributes of food linked to origin\, its diversity and local access are all matters that affect sustainable food systems and healthy diets. (Source: FAO) \n

SUMMARY:National Refill Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Have you #GotTheBottle to prevent plastic pollution?\nOn June 19th\, we’ll be asking the UK public if they’ve got the bottle to stop plastic pollution by switching from a single-use plastic bottle to a reusable one.\nDid you know that if just 1 in 10 Brits Refilled just once a week\, we’d save around 340 million plastic bottles a year! With the Refill app it’s easier and cheaper to refill at one of our 20\,000 Refill Stations than it is to buy a new single-use bottle of water.\nNational Refill Day is public awareness campaign to help prevent millions of single-use plastic bottles from polluting our streets and our oceans by encouraging people to carry a reusable water bottle and refill on the go. We know people are concerned about plastic pollution and they want to do something about it.\nSo how can you join the Refill Revolution this National Refill Day? \n 	Switch from a single-use plastic bottle to a reusable one.\n 	Tell the world you’ve #GotTheBottle to prevent plastic pollution.\n 	Download the Refill app and find free tap water near you. https://refill.org.uk/ \n 	Show your support on social media by sharing a picture of your reusable bottle and refill on the go. Tag your posts using #NationalRefillDay & @refill / @refillhq \nEvery time someone refills a bottle rather than throwing a plastic one away\, we are reducing the amount of plastic that reaches the ocean. \n

SUMMARY:World Refugee Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Refugee Day 2019 is on June 20th. This is an annual event\, held on the same date each year\, and 2019 is the 19th year of the event\, run by the United Nations Refugee Agency\, to state that the world supports and stands with refugees. The event is about raising global awareness of global responsibility for refugees. \nWorld Refugee Day honours the strength and courage of refugees and encourages public awareness and support of the refugees\, people who have had to flee their home lands because of conflict or natural disaster. \nRefugees are vulnerable and in need\, and are often misunderstood and maligned\, and often have very little or nothing of their posessions and little food\, they often have to leave their homes with nothing or with what they can carry. They suffer cold\, hunger\, trauma\, despair\, disease\, violence and loss. The awareness day is to help public understanding of refugees as well as raising support and help. \nAcross the world\, agencies\, both governmental and non-governmental\, work tirelessly to help refugees\, but with people being made refugees daily\, more help and awareness is constantly needed\, to ensure that refugees are treated fairly and provided for\, rather than being neglected or shunned\, and there are projects to re-settle and provide for refugees. So World Refugee Day highlights all of this. And now it also marks the launch of the ‘With Refugees’ petition\, which will state the needs and potential rights of refugees. \n

SUMMARY:National Clean Air Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Clean Air Day 2019 will be on Thursday 20th June and will see local schools\, hospitals and communities across UK cities run events and inspire other local residents to act for their own health and the health of local children. \nAcross the UK’s city centres\, air pollution is having a major impact on our health\, with dirty air contributing to 40\,000 deaths every year in the UK. \nMany of the UK’s cities exceed the safe and legal limits for air pollution\, which is mainly caused by road transport. \nThe launch of NCAD will give every school\, hospital\, workplace and housing estate free access to cutting-edge advice on avoiding and tackling urban air pollution\, sourced from health experts and academics. \nEvents are already being planned in Birmingham\, Derby\, Leeds\, Manchester\, Nottingham and Southampton; while all UK cities\, including London\, Glasgow\, Edinburgh\, will benefit from the free guides and toolkits available. \nThe day is co-ordinated by environmental change charity\, Global Action Plan. \nChris Large\, Partner at Global Action Plan\, said: We know that people do want to act on air pollution. But currently\, they don’t know how to protect themselves and their children\, or how to cut air pollution in their local area. 20th June will be a day of practical action\, myth-busting and awareness-raising\, so we can all breathe cleaner air. \nEnds \nNOTES TO EDITORS \n 	For media interviews please contacts Kate Hinton\, Mobile 07714 708416  kateahinton@gmail.com \nABOUT NATIONAL CLEAN AIR DAY  IF YOU ACT TODAY\, WE’LL ALL BENEFIT TODAY \n 	National Clean Air Day will enable people to act on air pollution\, making UK cities cleaner\, healthier and greener for us all – especially children. Children are especially vulnerable to the effects of air pollution\, and action to protect them will be a particular focus on the day. If you act today\, we’ll all benefit today.\n 	The day is supported by over 50 health institutions\, councils and universities\, including the Royal College of Physicians\, the British Lung Foundation\, and various NHS Trusts.

SUMMARY:National Peaches and Cream Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:June 21 is National Peaches and Cream Day. \nPeaches are great summer fruit to make a special treat. Today you can end your day with peaches and cream. \nSome interesting trivia for you on this day!  Did you known\, that China is the biggest producer of peaches? The second comes only Italy. \nAnyway\, peaches grow in 38 states of the USA\, that is why you can enjoy fresh peaches anytime in summer. And today is a great day to make a special treat for your family. \nTo make this mouth watering treat you will need: ripe peaches\, whipping cream\, hazelnuts\, basil leaves. Make sure that you don’t use overripe peaches otherwise they will become messy on the grill. Cut the peaches into two halves and remove the pit. Grease your grill with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the peaches to slightly caramelize them. While peaches are grilling\, whip the cream. Chop toasted nuts or crash them with a rolling pin\, if you had a bad day. Put grilled peaches in plates grilled side up\, add a spoon of cream and chopped hazelnuts. Garnish the dessert with fresh basil leaves. \nThis is a perfect treat to celebrate the holiday. \n

SUMMARY:International Widows Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Widows Day is a global awareness day that takes place annually on 23rd June. The day was launched by the United Nations in 2010 to raise awareness of the violation of human rights that widows suffer in many countries following the death of their spouses. \nIn many countries with traditional societies\, women find themselves left in poverty when their husband dies. In some countries\, these women find themselves denied of inheritance and land rights\, evicted from their homes\, ostracised and abused. The children of widows also often find themselves affected\, withdrawn from school and more vulnerable to abuse\, especially in the case of girls. \nInternational Widows Day works to encourage action in achieving full rights for widows\, highlighting the need for more research and statistics into violence\, discrimination and poverty suffered by widows and develop policies and programmes to address the problem.\nThe ultimate goal of the day is to develop resources and policy to empower widows and allow them to have access to education\, work\, healthcare and lives free of violence and abuse. Enabling them to create a life for themselves and their children following the death of their husband and ending a cycle of poverty and abuse. \nFurther details about International Widows Day can be found at www.un.org \n

SUMMARY:National Catfish Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:No\, this has absolutely nothing to do with MTV\, the internet or dating.  This unsurprisingly has everything to do with catfish! Perhaps one of the lesser known days of recognition and celebration\, National Catfish Day has assisted the continued growth of this specific type of aqua farming across the USA. \nJune 25 is National Catfish Day in the USA. The holiday was designated by President Ronald Reagan on June 25 in 1987. National Catfish Day celebrates the value of farm-raised fish. \nOriginally the commemorative bill was proposed by Congressmen Mike Epsy\, who having recognised the industry as growing in his home state\, endeavoured to encourage the growth of the industry further afield.  Catfish were not a popular choice of delicacy at the time.  Although initially the bill was unsuccessful\, Mr Epsy garnered support from fellow congressmen and was also able\, by providing the best catfish luncheons to military leaders\, to ensure catfish was added to the military commissary menu.  As a result his popularity at election time grew in his home state\, thanks to the increase in demand for catfish\,  as did support for the bill.    The text of the Proclamation by President Ronald Reagan\, illustrates the boom in the industry\, the increase in sales and the innovative methods developed to ensure the highest standards were met. \nSo why not look up some Catfish recipes and find out just why they make one of the USA’s most popular fish to eat? \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Leon Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Leon Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated in the United States on June 25. It is the halfway mark to Christmas. The exact origin of Leon Day is unknown. However\, it is clear why it was named so: Leon is Noel (another name for Christmas) spelled backwards. \nThe date of June 25 marks the turning point when Christmas begins to come closer on the calendar. Although Leon Day is not an official holiday\, it is celebrated by many businesses and organizations in a number of ways. For example\, retailers may offer special deals and promotions. Some radio stations play Christmas music during the day. For many crafters\, Leon Day is a time to start making decorations and gifts for Christmas. \nNonprofit organizations and charities may hold fundraisers to remind people that donations are appreciated all year round\, and not exclusively during the Christmas season. For example\, the Salvation Army sometimes observes Leon Day with launching an out-of-season Christmas kettle campaign. \nSome people celebrate Leon Day as a mini Christmas. They get out Christmas decorations\, put on ugly holidays sweaters and Santa hats\, watch their favorite Christmas movies\, and treat themselves to eggnog\, gingerbread\, and candy canes. \nWhether you celebrate it or not\, the countdown begins now! \n

SUMMARY:International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 2020
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, it may not have the snappiest title but the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking is a key plank in the United Nations’ war on drugs. \nOriginally instigated by a resolution of a special session on drugs of the UN’s General Assembly in 1987\, the annual awareness day was founded to mark the centenary of China’s early efforts to combat the trade in opium – widely regarded as the start of the international war on drugs. \nCelebrated each year on June 26th\, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime uses the commemorative day to highlight the dangers of drug use and their illegal trade and provides educational material to teachers and public officials all over the world to help spread the message about the extreme cultural and economic harm the trade in drugs is still doing across the globe one hundred years after the war on drugs was initially launched in Shanghai around the start of the 20th Century. \nThe importance of the strategy was reinforced in April 2016 when the UN decided to hold a General Assembly on drugs to mark a milestone in the progress of an earlier policy document which called on members states to combat both drug demand and supply\, while improving access to treatment for addicts. \nEach year the Office on Drugs and Crime chooses a new theme to promote – from “Sports Against Drugs” in 2001 and “Think Health – Not Drugs” in 2010 to “Listen First!” last year. \n

SUMMARY:International Sunglasses Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Look Sharp on International Sunglasses Day 2019\nAnyone who enjoys spending time in the sun and wants to look cool while protecting their eyes is sure to have fun on International Sunglasses Day 2019. The event takes place on June 27th and a number of events are organised by the Vision council to help promote the importance of wearing sunglasses. \nResearch has shown that people who do not wear sunglasses risk doing substantial damage to their eyes due to the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. Even on cloudy days\, sunlight can still be strong enough to cause lasting damage to the eyes\, which means that it is important to wear sunglasses or another form of UV eye protection at all times. \nTo help celebrate and promote International Sunglasses Day 2019\, the Vision Council is encouraging both groups and individuals to get involved by taking photographs of themselves wearing sunglasses. These photos can be shared on various social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook with the hashtags #SunglassSelfie and #NationalSunglassesDay. \nThese days sunglasses come in just about every style imaginable as well as a broad spectrum of prices\, which means that there is sure to be the perfect pair to suit anyone. Tinted contact lenses with built in UV protection are also available in both permanent and disposable types\, while people who wear eyeglasses can also find special vari-tint sunglasses that become darker according to the amount of sunlight that they are exposed to as well as sunglasses that clip onto the frames of regular eyeglasses whenever they are nee \n

SUMMARY:National HIV Testing Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:June 27th is National HIV Testing Day in the USA.  Established in 1995 the day aims to encourage people to get tested for HIV\, know their status and get linked to care and treatment.   \nMay national organisations\, government bodies and medical care providers join forces to raise the profile of the day and the disease.   \nThe day educates people about HIV\, what it is\, how it is transmitted\, who is at risk and the symptoms.  It also aims to signpost people who suspect they may be at risk to the relevant places to get tested and the subsequent care and support available to them.  \nMore than 1.1 million people in the U.S. are living with HIV today\, and 1 in 7 of them don’t know it. However with awareness continuing to rise and the accessibility to advice and services improving\, the annual number of infections in the US is gradually declining.   \nSo for that very reason we all should show our support and assist this campaign to reach as many people as possible.  The 2018 campaign of #Doingitmyway was hugely successful\, so watch this space for more information about the campaign in 2019 when it is announced. \n  \n

SUMMARY:SARCOMA AWARENESS month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Sarcoma Awareness Month runs for the whole of July. We’ve included a few details about Sarcoma below but there is lots of information to found here .\nSarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the muscle\, bone\, nerves\, cartilage\, tendons\, blood vessels and the fatty and fibrous tissues.\nThey can affect almost any part of the body\, on the inside or the outside. \nSarcomas commonly affect the arms\, legs and trunk. They also appear in the stomach and intestines as well as behind the abdomen (retroperitoneal sarcomas) and the female reproductive system (gynaecological sarcomas). \nBone sarcomas affect less than 500 people in the UK each year\, making it a very rare form of cancer. Not all bone cancers will be sarcomas.\nSoft tissue sarcomas can affect any part of the body; they develop in supporting or connective tissue such as the muscle\, nerves\, fatty tissue\, and blood vessels. Soft tissue sarcomas include: \nGIST is a common type of sarcoma; it develops in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract\, a long tube running through the body from the oesophagus (gullet) to the anus (back passage) and includes the stomach and intestines.\nGynaecological sarcomas (sometimes shortened to gynae sarcomas) occur in the female reproductive system: the uterus (womb)\, ovaries\, vagina\, vulva and fallopian tubes. You may also hear the term uterine sarcoma. They can affect women of any age.\nRetroperitoneal sarcomas occur in the retroperitoneum. This is an area behind the peritoneum\, the lining of the abdominal space that covers the abdominal organs. The retroperitoneum is deep in the abdomen and pelvis\, behind the abdominal lining\, where organs such as the major blood vessels\, kidneys\, pancreas and bladder are located. \nSarcoma is very rare\, and much more research needs to be done to fully understand how these cancers develop and how best to diagnose and treat them. \nPeople can survive sarcoma if their cancer is diagnosed early\, when treatments can be effective and before the sarcoma has spread to other parts of the body. It is vital that patients be referred to a specialist sarcoma team as early as possible.\nFacts and figures \nThere are three main types of sarcoma: soft tissue sarcoma\, bone sarcoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST).\nThere are around 100 different sub-types of sarcoma\n10 people every day are diagnosed with sarcoma in the UK\nAbout 3\,800 new cases of sarcoma are diagnosed each year in the UK which makes up approximately 1% of all cancer diagnoses\nEvery year 3\,330 people are diagnosed with a soft tissue sarcoma (including GIST)\n500 people are diagnosed with a bone sarcoma every year\nIn general\, patients with a bone or soft tissue diagnosis tend to be younger than the majority of cancer patients. 16% of bone or soft tissue sarcomas are diagnosed in patients less than thirty years of age\, compared to around 2% of all cancers. 37% of bone or soft tissue sarcoma patients are aged less than 50 years.\nSarcomas make up 15% of all childhood cancers (0-14 years) and 11% of all cancer diagnoses in teenagers and young people (15-24 years)\nIn Scotland\, 350 new cases of sarcoma are diagnosed each year (200 soft tissue\, 100 bone sarcoma and 50 GIST) \n

SUMMARY:Clean Beaches Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:An initiative established by The Clean Beaches Coalition\, Clean Beaches week is celebrated annually from July 1st – July 7th. With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out)\n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim)\n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru)\n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely)\n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood)\n6. Feed your mind. (read a book)\n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles! \n  \n

SUMMARY:National Tom Sawyer Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Tom Sawyer Day is an annual event held in the city of Hannibal\, Missouri. Hannibal is the hometown of Mark Twain. It served as inspiration for the fictional town of St. Petersburg\, where Twain’s stories about Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are set. Mark Twain (pen name of Samuel Langhorne Clemens) created many novels and short stories\, but is probably best known for The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel\, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

The main event takes place on July 4\, coinciding with Independence Day. The celebration typically includes a big parade\, carnival\, flea market\, pet show\, art & crafts show\, talent show\, fireworks display\, etc.  Most of the competitions held on this day are inspired from Mark Twain’s novels. For example\, the painting fence contest is based on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer\, and the frog jump is inspired by The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County. \nEach year\, National Tom Sawyer Days attract tourists from all over the United States. Many of them visit the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Mark Twain Cave. \n

SUMMARY:Independence Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Today\, July 4th is Independence Day! \nIndependence Day is an important federal holiday in the United States that commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. The day marks the historical event when the United States of America declared its independence from the rule of Great Britain. \nThe declaration was adopted on July 4\, 1776 therefore the holiday is commonly referred to as the Fourth of July or July Fourth. \nOn July 2\, 1776 the Second Continental Congress approved the Lee Resolution\, also known as the resolution of independence. The text of the document formally announcing separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain and explaining this decision\, the Declaration of Independence\, was approved on July 4. \nThe text of the Declaration had been prepared by the Committee of Five\, Thomas Jefferson being the principal author. The anniversary of the Declaration would come to be celebrated as Independence Day in the United States. \nThe first celebration of July 4 occurred in 1777. However\, Independence Day had not become an official holiday until 1870 when Congress made it an unpaid holiday for federal employees. In 1938\, it was changed to a paid federal holiday. \nIndependence Day celebrations include patriotic displays\, political ceremonies and speeches\, parades\, concerts\, carnivals\, fairs. Family reunions often occur on this day; many families host or attend picnics or barbecues. In the evening\, firework displays traditionally occur. Fireworks may be accompanied by patriotic songs. Major firework displays are in New York City\, Chicago\, San Diego\, Boston\, St. Louis\, San Francisco\, Detroit\, and Washington\, D.C. \nIndependence Day also is a public holiday in some of the United States unincorporated territories\, namely Guam\, Northern Mariana Islands\, Puerto Rico\, United States Virgin Islands\, and American Samoa. \nHowever you plan to celebrate Independence Day\, enjoy yourselves and ensure you make the most of the extra days holiday! \n

SUMMARY:International Kissing Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:July the 6th is International Kissing Day which is the perfect excuse to grab that special someone in your life and pucker up. But how will people around the world be celebrating International Kissing Day? Here’s a few interesting facts on how other cultures see the kiss. \n 	In Italy and Greece friends\, both men and women commonly kiss each other on the lips when greeting each other\, whereas in France one air kiss on each cheek is a customary greeting.\n 	Modern Anthropologists believe that kissing developed from “Eskimo kissing” \, which is actually the practise of rubbing noses to take in each others breath. This is also practised amongst many Pacific Islanders as a greeting\, which has led to the theory that kissing is actually a testing of another persons scent to measure compatibility!\n 	In Vietnam kissing between spouses is only done in private\, with China and Japan adopting a similar attitude towards this. While people from the Netherlands actually opt for 3 kisses as a form of greeting. \nHowever you plan on marking the event\, Happy International Kissing Day everyone! \n  \n  \n

DESCRIPTION:Summer’s a brave choice to host World Chocolate Day  at least in countries where the weather is nice and the chocolate is particularly prone to melting. British chocolate lovers like ourselves can probably breathe a sigh of relief as we gorge ourselves stupid\, even if we’re wearing a T-shirt and sitting outside to make the most of the 13C weather we’ve come to expect from early July. \nThe event is dedicated to all things cocoa-based\, and it’s certainly not time to discriminate. Indulge yourself\, share with others\, and whatever you do this World Chocolate Day\, don’t buy yourself an 85% dark chocolate and sea salt bar solely as a tool to look down on those who prefer white chocolate\, because dark chocolate is real chocolate\, unlike that sweet filth other people eat. Don’t be that person. No-one likes that person. \n

SUMMARY:World Population Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:A Special Day to Raise Awareness of Population Issues\nOn July 11th every year is an event known as World Population Day. You may not have heard of such a day before but it has been celebrated for almost three decades. The aim of this day is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. The Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. “Family Planning is a Human Right”\, will be the focus of the 2018 celebration.\nWhy Family Planning Has Been Chosen\n2018 marked the 50th anniversary of a conference that focused on family planning. In 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \nMillions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for 2018. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty. \n

SUMMARY:National Simplicity Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Simplicity Day was founded in honour of Henry David Thoreau\, who was born on July 12\, 1817.  Thoreau was an advocate of living simply and wrote a number of well known books on the subject. \nIn the complicated world that we inhabit today where mobile phone’s\, laptops and other modern day gadgets mean that we very rarely experience true peace and quiet to gather our thoughts\, what better excuse to leave the technology at home and experience the feeling of truly being in the moment. \nHappy National Simplicity Day! \n

SUMMARY:World Youth Skills Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Young people are almost three times more likely to be unemployed than adults and continuously exposed to lower quality of jobs\, greater labor market inequalities\, and longer and more insecure school-to-work transitions. In addition\, women are more likely to be underemployed and under-paid\, and to undertake part-time jobs or work under temporary contracts. \nThat is why education and training are key determinants of success in the labor market. But unfortunately\, existing systems are failing to address the learning needs of many young people\, and surveys of learning outcomes and skills show that a large number of youth have low levels of achievement in basic literacy and numeracy. Skills and jobs for youth feature prominently in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, and SDG target 4.4 calls for a substantial increase in the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills. \n

SUMMARY:World Day for International Justice 2020
DESCRIPTION:Every year on July 17\, World Day for International Justice is observed all around the world. The aim of the day is to promote international criminal justice and as a way of supporting the work of the ICC.\nWhat is the ICC?\nICC stands for the International Criminal Court. It came about when 120 states adopted a statute in Rome. It was known as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (“the Rome Stature”). All the countries that agreed to adopt the statute were accepting the jurisdiction of the ICC\, with regards the prosecution of very serious crimes. The idea was not for the ICC to replace national courts. It is only able to intervene when a country can’t or won’t carry out investigations and prosecute perpetrators.\nThe Aim of International Justice Day\nThe aim of this day is to unite everyone who wants to support justice as well as promote victims rights. It is to help prevent serious crimes and those that put the peace\, security and well-being of the world at risk.\nHow You Can Mark the Day\nThere are a number of different ways you can play a part. Why not write an article or a blog to highlight the need for justice where you live? You could send a communication to your local elected representative and voice your opinion. Speak to members of your government. Or take part in one of the many events that will be held in cities around the world. \n

SUMMARY:National Daiquiri Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Daiquiri Day is celebrated on July 19. \nDaiquiri is a popular rum-based cocktail\, which is believed to have been one of the favorite drinks of Ernest Hemingway and John Kennedy. Daiquiri was supposedly invented in Cuba. Its invention is usually ascribed to Jennings Cox\, American mining engineer and Congressman William A. Chanler is credited with popularization of this cocktail in clubs in New York in the early 1900s. \nBut daiquiri became really popular in the second half of the 20th century. \nThe main ingredients of daiquiri are rum\, lime juice\, and sugar or other sweetener. A basic daiquiri is made with 9 parts white rum\, 5 parts lime juice\, and 3 parts simple syrup and served in a chilled cocktail glass. There are many variations of daiquiri.

Banana daiquiri\, pineapple daiquiri\, blueberry daiquiri\, and other fruit daiquiris are made in the same manner.Daiquiri floridita is made with maraschino liqueur. Hemingway daiquiri\, also known as papa doble\, consists of white rum\, lime juice\, grapefruit juice\, and maraschino liqueur and is made without sugar. \nTo celebrate National Daiquiri Day\, go out to a bar and treat yourself to your favorite variation of daiquiri! \n

SUMMARY:National Lollipop Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:On July 20\, National Lollipop Day is celebrated. \nThis food holiday is devoted to candies on stick that come in various shapes\, flavors\, sizes\, and colors. \nWho knew that lollipops had been around for so long?  The first confectioneries that closely resemble modern-day lollipops date back to the Middle Ages. They were made with boiled sugar. However the history of the first lollipops in the United States is unclear. They are thought to have been invented in the early or mid-19th century. According to the most popular theory\, the modern version of the lollipop was invented by George Smith in the early 1900s. His lollipops were soft\, rather than hard. He named them after Lolly Pop\, a popular race horse. \nLollipops usually consist of hardened sugar and corn syrup with added flavoring. They are mounted on a stick and intended for licking or sucking. Lollipops come in dozens of flavors\, colors\, and shapes. Sometimes they contain fillings\, such as a soft candy or bubble gum. \nNational Lollipop Day is the perfect occasion to enjoy the confectionery that reminds most of us of childhood. Grab a lollipop to celebrate and buy some for your family and friends\, too! \n

SUMMARY:National Tequila Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:July 24th is National Tequila Day. On this day you can celebrate your love of this famous Mexican spirit by enjoying a tequila with friends and posting it on social media with the hashtag #nationaltequiladay. \nProduced in the area around the town of Tequila in the Jalisco area of Mexico\, tequila is the national drink of Mexico and is made from the blue agave plant. Originally known as mezcal wine\, there are a number of different categories of tequila including:\n Blanco tequila  a white unaged Tequila.\n Joven tequila an unaged golden tequila flavoured with either sugar syrup or caramel.\n Reposado tequila aged between 2 months to 1 year in oak barrels.\n Anejo tequila  aged between 1  3 years in oak barrels.\n Extra Anejo tequila  aged for a minimum of three years. \nNational Tequila Day first started in the USA and Mexico and is celebrated with a number of tequila festivals and tours of tequila distilleries along what is known as the tequila trail in Jalisco. In recent years the celebration has also been adopted in the UK due to the rising popularity of the drink. On national Tequila day in the UK\, although celebrations are smaller than in the USA\, you will find tequila on offer in many bars and supermarkets. \nResponsible for some of our best loved cocktails\, The Tequila Sunrise\, The Margherita\, The Long Island Iced Tea to name a few\, July 24th has been set aside each year to celebrate Tequila. If you’re still recovering from a few too many Tequila slammers at the weekend to raise a glass to it this year\, we’ve put together a few little facts to help pay homage to the stuff without the hangover! \nTequila is made of at least 51% Blue Agave\nAlthough Mezcal can be made from the 100s of different Agave varieties. Tequila must contain at least 51% of Blue Agave and many believe it should be 100%. Tequila consisting of less than 100% Blue Agave are called Mixto. \nMuch of the work in making Tequila is done by hand\nAgave is hand selected for harvest and harvested by hand. In premium Tequilas\, the pulp is extracted from the fiber in large stone bowls by humans after being ground down in the tahona. \nIt takes 8-12 years for the Blue Agave plant to mature enough to make Tequila\nTequila is made from the heart of the Blue Agave plant\, called pi√±a. The pinamay weigh up to 200 pounds when harvested.\n 	 CUERVO WAS THE FIRST PRODUCER OF TEQUILA IN THE WORLD.Jose Antonio de Cuervo y Valdes obtained land from the King of Spain in 1758 and began producing tequila  all before Mexico became an independent republic. In 1795\, his son\, Jose Mar√≠a Guadalupe de Cuervo\, began selling the very first Vino Mezcal de Tequila de Jose Cuervo after receiving the first official charter from the King of Spain to produce tequila commercially. \nREAL TEQUILA CAN ONLY BE PRODUCED IN FIVE SPECIFIC REGIONS IN MEXICO.\nTequila received a Designation of Origin (appellation de controlee) in 1974. It’s the same as an appellation for Bordeaux\, Bourbon or Cognac. The Mexican federal government has established strict requirements governing tequila production. \nTHE PI√ëA IS THE HEART OF THE BLUE AGAVE.\nThe pi√±a (Spanish word for pineapple) is the fruit or\, heart\, of the agave from which sugars are extracted and tequila is made. The word pi√±a is used because once harvested\, the heart of the plant resembles a pineapple. \nREPOSADO MEANS RESTED.\nTequila must be rested in wood barrels for a minimum of two months. This is a requirement of the Mexican government. The resting mellows and refines the tequila\, producing a combination of superb smoothness and great taste. \nYou can thank Bing Crosby for your tequila:\nBack in the early 50s\, Bing Crosby became so infatuated with the Herradura brand of tequila that he teamed up fellow actor Phil Harris to import the brand into the United States. Their efforts made Herradura the first-ever 100% blue agave liquor available in the US. \nTequila has health benefits:\nStudies have shown that a component in tequila helps break down dietary fat\, which can lower the levels of bad cholesterol. A shot taken after dinner can aid your body’s digestion. \nPeople will pay a lot for good tequila: \nAccording to The Guinness Book of World Records\, the most expensive bottle of tequila ever sold went to a private collector for $225\,000. The bottle was made out of white gold and platinum\, and contained six year-aged tequila worth $2\,500. \n

SUMMARY:Parents' Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:The fourth Sunday in July is Parents’ Day in the USA. \nThis holiday is a combination of Father’s Day and Mother’s Day. And what a celebration this should be!  The holiday was established in 1994 by President Bill Clinton as the day that recognizes\, uplifts and supports the role of parents in the rearing of children.  ay. \nThis observance is more consistent\, because it minimizes traditional sex-based differences in parental roles. But as far as Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are very popular in the USA\, its unlikely Parents’ Day will replace them any time soon. \nSo if you are parents then give yourself a break today and treat yourself.  Or if you have or know some hardworking\, lovely parents – remind them how special they are today! \n

SUMMARY:National Milk Chocolate Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:What a time to be alive!  Today is National Chocolate Day!  Celebrated on July 28th in the USA\, National Chocolate Day is one of many informal food observances that take place. \nWhat may seem to us like a form of instant gratification\, behind every chocolate treat is a story involving many participants from across the globe\, state of the art manufacturing and attention to detail. \nMilk chocolate is the most popular type of chocolate across the globe\, being used in the vast majority of candy bars.  Although specialist chocolates have become more popular in recent years\, milk chocolate continues to be the biggest seller across the USA. \nPure chocolate liquor can have a bitter taste therefore sugar and sometimes milk are added.  Milk chocolate is made with chocolate liquor mixed with fat (typically cocoa butter)\, sugar\, and milk in the form of liquid milk\, milk powder\, or condensed milk.  Our favourite treat was invented by German company Jordan & Timaeus in 1839 although originally was only available as a beverage. In 1870s\, Swiss confectioner Daniel Peter created solid milk chocolate which was made with condensed milk.  Milk chocolate is one of the sweetest types of chocolate. The minimum amount of cocoa solids contained in milk chocolate varies by country depending on the local regulations. In the USA the minimum amount of cocoa solids is 10%  however in Europe this increases to 25%.  Who knew milk chocolate could differ so much!   The concentration of milk solids varies\, too\, from 12% in the United States and Canada to 14% in the European Union. \nSo go ahead\, make yourself a cup of milk chocolate\, stock up on your favourite milk chocolate treats and try not to make yourself feel ill!  Just in case you need to justify the calorific intake\, just remember chocolate causes the brain to release endorphins.  There’s no wonder a bit of chocolate makes us feel sooooo good! \n

SUMMARY:World Day against Trafficking in Persons 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Day against Trafficking in Persons 2019 is held on July 30th 2019\, and is an annual event. People trafficking and modern day slavery is a massive worldwide problem with very few countries immune to human trafficking\, and the event by the United Nations is to raise awareness and increase prevention of that. \nThousands of men\, women and children end up in the hands of traffickers every year\, often through being tricked and mislead to believe that they are being taken to work that will make their family better off\, or through force\, kidnap\, or even through very poor families selling children in order to survive. There are many ways that people get caught up in trafficking\, but the result is the same\, they lose their rights and identity and are used and abused\, and it is a global problem\, an industry not far behind drugs and arms in terms of profit for traffickers. \nTrafficked people are forced to work\, often doing hard labour or prostitution\, for no reward\, and usually have their identity and documents removed from them and are warned of terrible punishments if they escape\, and often they are taken to unfamiliar countries where they don’t know the language and have no way of getting help\, some die and are never heard of again by their families and communities. \nA global problem like trafficking needs a global solution\, which is why the United Nations organise the World Day against Trafficking in Persons\, to raise awareness encourage vigilance and gain support for prevention of human trafficking\, and also why they have produced a protocol to punish human trafficking and are hoping to implement this globally\, as well as an act to protect victims of trafficking. \n

SUMMARY:National Cheesecake Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:You have probably realised by now that we LOVE a food observance and today is no exception!  National Cheesecake Day is celebrated across the United States on July 30. \nIt is the perfect occasion to have a slice of one of America’s favorite desserts which comes in many different varieties. Cheesecake is a dessert consisting of pie crust and cheese filling (although sometimes it is made without crust). Despite its name\, cheesecake isn’t actually a cake; it may or may not be baked. The base can be made from pastry\, sponge cake\, graham crackers\, or crushed cookies. The cheese filling typically consists of soft cheese (usually cream cheese)\, sugar\, and eggs. \nCheesecake is often flavored. It comes in many flavors such as strawberry\, key like\, pumpkin\, chestnut\, toffee etc. Cheesecakes are sometimes topped with whipped cream\, fresh or canned fruit\, chocolate syrup\, fruit sauce\, nuts. \nThere are several major cheesecake varieties in North America. For instance\, New York style cheesecake is a rich and creamy dessert that contains sour cream or heavy cream. Philadelphia style cheesecake is richer in flavor and lighter in texture. Other cheesecake types include Pennsylvania Dutch style cheesecake\, farmer cheese cheesecake\, country style cheesecake\, and Chicago style cheesecake. \nAlthough the origins of the day are sketchy\, historians say that cheesecake can be traced back to the ancient Greeks.  Its thought that the ancient Greek cheesecake was somewhat different to the type we consume today\, but the modern day cheesecake can actually be attributed to the English. \nTo celebrate National Cheesecake Day\, indulge yourself with this delightful dessert. You can make a cheesecake yourself\, or pick it at a local bakery if you don’t feel like baking. Going out to your favorite cheesecake place with your family or friends is also a great way to celebrate. \n

SUMMARY:World Friendship Day / International Day Of Friendship 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Friendship Day\, also known as International Day of Friendship takes place on 30th July. \nThe original idea for a day of friendship came from Hallmark cards in the 1930’s. Originally celebrated on 2nd August\, the day was largely viewed cynically by the public as a money making exercise\, sales of friendship day cards did not take off in Europe and by the mid-1940’s the day had faded into obscurity in the USA. The idea of a day to honour friendship was\, however\, adopted by a number of countries in Asia where it remained a popular custom to reserve a day for celebrating friendships and the exchange of gifts between friends. \nThe first World Friendship Day was proposed for 30 July 1958 by the World Friendship Crusade\, an international civil organisation that campaigns to foster a culture of peace through friendship. Many years later\, in 2011\, the 30th July was declared as the International Day of Friendship by the General Assembly of United Nations. \nWith the growing popularity of social media throughout the world\, there has been an increase in celebrating World Friendship day and International Day of Friendship online as well as with community activities in local communities aimed at bringing those of different backgrounds together. \n

SUMMARY:Flag Day in Hawaii 2020
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that every year on July 31\, the state of Hawaii celebrates Hawaii Flag Day\, otherwise known as Ka Hae Hawaii? \nHawaii flag day was first established in 1990 by Governor of Hawaii John D. Waihee III on July 31 and is celebrated annually. \nEstablished as a day to honor the flag\, its history and meaning\, the day was supported by park staff at Pukohola Heiau National Historic Site on the Big Island.  One of only 3 sites in Hawaii permitted to fly the flag independently of any other national flag\, the park has significant historical importance. \nThe Flag of Hawaii was designed in 1816 during the reign of King Kamehameha I and finally adopted in 1845. The flag consists of white red and blue stripes\, that attribute to various historical flags of the United Kingdom\, whilst at the same time stripes reminding us of the American flag. A smaller depiction of the flag of the United Kingdom in the left upper corner reminds us about the tight relations of Hawaii with the UK. \nThe Hawaiian flag was changed several times until its final adoption.  Originally there were either seven or nine horizontal stripes\, but eight stripes were adopted in 1845 to represent all eight major islands of the state. \nFor Hawaiians\, the flag is a distinguished symbol of the time when alii in the Hawaiian Kingdom could govern with absolute sovereignty. During the overthrow of the monarchy\, Hawaiians incorporated the flag into quilts and wall hangings to pledge their allegiance to a sovereign nation. \n

SUMMARY:Yorkshire Day - 2020
DESCRIPTION:Named after the biggest county in England (if you unite North\, South\, West and East Riding of Yorkshire\, which is sort of cheating)\, it’s no surprise that Yorkshire Day is a thing. As an area on the up and up\, it’s becoming one of the most important places in the UK\, as the likes of Leeds\, Hull\, Bradford have become prominent as centres of finance\, culture and much more. \nSo\, whether you’re from Yorkshire or not\, celebrate like one of the locals on August 1st by donning your flat cap\, walking the damp countryside with your whippet\, eating a Yorkshire pudding with gravy\, then settling down to complain about the rising price of a pint of best bitter\, ending the night on a cheerier note by remembering the good old days. \n

SUMMARY:World Breastfeeding Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Set every August for the first seven days of the month\, World Breastfeeding Week aims to highlight the huge benefits that breastfeeding can bring to both the health and welfare of babies\, as well as a wider push for maternal health\, focusing on good nutrition\, poverty reduction and food security. \nThe event is organised every year by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (WABA)\, a global network that aims to protect\, promote and support breastfeeding around the world. Along the way\, it works with the World Health Organization and Unicef to get its aid to the right people in the right communities. \nWorld Breastfeeding Week begins each year on the 1st August and runs right through until the 7th. \nOf course there are many different demands on busy mother’s\, meaning that women who may want to breastfeed their babies haven’t always got the support to continue this. Busy working schedules\, alongside the many other challenges that modern women face can mean that women don’t always feel that breastfeeding their child is something that is an accessible option to them. \nBreastfeeding weeks aim to raise awareness of the health and wellbeing outcomes of breastfeeding and the importance of supporting mothers to breastfeed for as long as they wish. \n

SUMMARY:National Immunization Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Immunization Awareness Month is sponsored by the National Public Health Information Coalition (NPHIC) and is observed in August annually across the USA. \nThe campaign aims to raise awareness of the importance of vaccinating people of all ages against a number of serious and sometimes deadly diseases. The awareness month also celebrates the successes of the different immunizations that have been created in the 20th century and beyond. \nEvery year\, the National Public Health Information Coalition (NPHIC)\, in collaboration with CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases\, has develops a communication toolkit for use in your communities\, schools and work places and encourages people to become involved\, raise awareness and most important of all\, get immunised. There are 4 key messages of the toolkits that produced annually\, these being: \nVaccines protect against serious diseases.\nThese diseases still exist and outbreaks do occur.\nVaccines are recommended throughout our lives.\nVaccines are very safe. \nThere are many debates around the safety of many of the vaccinations available\, however governments across the world\, acting upon the advice of leading scientists and medical professionals overwhelmingly support immunization schemes. Despite this\, the growing voice of the anti immunization supporters ( and some other factors) has lead to a decrease in the number of people becoming vaccinated and there is little surprise that the number of people affected by diseases that in some cases had been eliminated from some countries is on the rise again. \nFor more information about available immunizations visit one of the official websites. \n

SUMMARY:National Mustard Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in August sees us celebrate National Mustard Day. Mustard is a condiment made from the seeds of a mustard plant. The whole\, bruised\, cracked\, or ground seeds are mixed with liquid (water\, lemon juice\, vinegar\, oil)\, salt and sometimes spices to create a sauce or paste. \nSome interesting facts about mustard! \n\nMustard was first recorded as being prepared by wealthy Romans\, who mixed wine and mustard seeds and added it to their meals.\nAmerica is the country that uses the most mustard in the world\, with yellow mustard (a mild\, American-style condiment\, often used on hot dogs) being the most commonly used. Because of this\, the rest of the world refers to it as American mustard.\nMustard is healthy: its seeds are full of nutrients and antioxidants. They contain selenium\, omega-3 and 6\, potassium\, magnesium and calcium\, which have anti-inflammatory properties and are also supposed to speed up the metabolism and lower blood pressure.\nBefore people began eating mustard\, it was used for medicinal purposes. French monks were known to use mustard to treat their wounds while Greeks used it to relieve muscles\, cure toothaches and stimulate appetite and digestion. A mustard bath is a traditional therapeutic remedy for tired\, stressed muscles\, colds\, fevers and seizures. The mustard was thought to draw out toxins and warm the muscles\, blood and body. It was a standard medical practice up until the first part of the twentieth century and continues to be used in alternative medicine.\nDid you know there is a National Mustard Museum? Opening in 1986 by founder and mustard collector Barry Levenson. The museum opened to the public in 1992 in Mount Hroeb and consists of 5600 prepared mustards from over 70 countries. The museum became the sponsor of National Mustard Day in 1991 which sees events taking place raising thousands of dollars for a local charity.\n\nWhat better reason to hold a National Mustard Day event? Why not make some hotdogs\, smother them in your favourite mustard and ask people to contribute to your local charity? \n

SUMMARY:Coast Guard Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated annually on August 4th\, Coast Guard Day commemorates the anniversary of the founding of the U.S. Coast Guard as the Revenue-Marine in 1790. On August 4\, 1790 Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton established the Revenue-Marine to serve as an armed customs enforcement service. In 1894\, it was renamed the Revenue Cutter Service. In 1915\, it merged with the U.S. Life-Saving Service. Thus the United States Coast Guard was formed. \nFor those who dont know\, the Coast Guard is an all important maritime first responder; “the principal Federal agency responsible for maritime safety\, security\, and environmental stewardship in U.S. ports and waterways”. \nThe Coast Guards are one of the five Armed Services of the United States\, and the only military branch within the Department of Homeland Security. In addition to its role as an Armed Service\, the Coast Guard is a first responder and humanitarian service that provides aid to people in distress or impacted by natural and man-made disasters whether at sea or ashore. The Coast Guard is a member of the Intelligence Community\, and is a law enforcement and regulatory agency with broad legal authorities associated with maritime transportation\, hazardous materials shipping\, bridge administration\, oil spill response\, pilotage\, and vessel construction and operation. \nCoast Guard Day is mainly an internal event\, however we feel that such is the importance of the work that is carried out byt he Coast Guard\, more should be done to thank\, honor and celebrate them. It is celebrated primarily by Coast Guardsmen\, both active duty and reserve\, as well as retirees\, civilian employees\, dependants\, and auxiliarists. Coast Guard units across the country organize picnics and sport competitions. So why not show your appreciation for those people involved and the service they provide and support any local events that may take place\, or simply educate others about the work they do? \n

SUMMARY:National Oyster Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:August 5 is the perfect holiday for all you seafood lovers out there as it is National Oyster Day. \nThis holiday celebrates a considerable number of different species of edible bivalve molluscs which are considered a delicacy. Oysters have been consumed by humans for centuries. They used to be an important food source in coastal areas. \nPollution and overfishing have considerably reduced oyster supplies\, but oysters still remain a popular delicacy. Traditionally\, they are considered to be an aphrodisiac. Oysters are rich in zinc\, calcium\, iron\, selenium\, vitamin A\, and vitamin B12\, but are low in food energy. \nOysters must be either consumed alive or cooked alive. When dead\, they cannot be eaten safely. A live oyster must be capable of closing its shell. Oysters are considered most nutritious when eaten raw. Raw oysters are usually served with a piece of lemon\, vinegar\, or cocktail sauce. Butter and salt are sometimes added. Oysters can also be boiled\, fried\, smoked\, baked\, pickled\, roasted\, broiled\, steamed\, or canned. \nTo celebrate National Oyster Day\, go out to your local seafood restaurant and indulge yourself with either raw or cooked oysters. If you have never tried oysters before\, this food day is the perfect occasion to do it! \n

SUMMARY:National Allotments Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Many of you will have attended events in your local area as part of National Allotment week to celebrate how important allotments and other open spaces are for you and your local community. Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \n 	Access to live discussions and expert advice on the forum\n 	Inspiration and tips from other people from across the country\n 	Quick responses to questions about community activity and programmes\n 	Networking with like-minded and experienced people\n 	Coaching and mentoring from experts in the field\n 	Invitations to free learning hubs and event \n

SUMMARY:National Airborne Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Airborne Day is a special day designated to honor the U.S. Airborne Forces and the first parachute jump of 48 volunteer members of the U.S. Army Parachute Test Platoon on August 16\, 1940. This day is annually observed on August 16. \nThe use of parachutes was an innovative method of warfare during World War II. This gave the Allied an opportunity to deploy the troops behind enemy lines. The first parachute jump pioneered the way for future jumps and also marked the birth of new airborne forces\, that might play a vital role in military future. \nThe U.S. Army conducted the first combat parachute jumps in November 1942: the soldiers of the 2nd Battalion 509th Parachute Infantry made a total of 93 combat jumps. These and other other soldiers formed the legendary 11th\, 13th\, 17th\, 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions\, that participated in many fights during World War II and other military conflicts after its end.Regarding the importance of the first successful parachute jump\, President of the USA George W. Bush created National Airborne Day in 2001. \nIn 2009 Senate recognized National Airborne Day with Senate Resolution. \n

SUMMARY:National Aviation Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:On August 19\, National Aviation Day is celebrated across the United States. It is an annual national observance that honors the development of aviation. \nThe holiday was first observed in 1939\, after the proclamation by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. August 19 was chosen on purpose because it is the anniversary of Orville Wright’s birthday. Orville was the younger of the Wright brothers\, renowned American aviation pioneers. He was still alive when President first issued the proclamation. \nAlthough National Aviation Day is a federal observance\, it does not have the status of a public holiday. This means that government offices\, educational institutions and businesses stay open on this day.However\, the flag of the United States is required to be displayed on all governmental buildings on the day. \nIndividuals are also encouraged to display national flags on their homes. Some schools organize classroom activities and trips to aviation museums that focus on the history of aviation\, aviation pioneers and achievements of modern aviation.National Aviation Day should not be confused with Pan American Aviation Day\, which is celebrated on December 17 and coincides with Wright Brothers Day. \n

SUMMARY:National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:As humans \, we tend to take our health pretty seriously.  But when was the last time you took your cat for a general check up? If the answer is ‘you cant remember’ then use today as a gentle reminder to get your feline friend booked in for a health check.  National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day on August 22nd is the day used to remind cat owners to pay a visit to the Vets. \nAmerican Veterinary Medical Association have over the years established numerous pet health awareness events\, that encourage pet owners to visit the vet.

There are also many common illnesses that cats can develop and that can go unnoticed for a period of time.   We know how well loved and cared for your pets are\, but nevertheless\, don’t waste time and take your cat to the vet to find out\, if your pet is in a good health condition.  And then give them a special treat for the upheaval! \n  \n

SUMMARY:National Plum Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Plum Day will be celebrated for the second time in 2019 as part of Pershore Plum Festival’s month-long festivities throughout August. \nPlums have become a forgotten fruit and it is hoped National Plum Day will start to make people rethink the perfection of plums.

SUMMARY:National Petroleum Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:At the end of the summer on August 27th\, Americans celebrate National Petroleum Day. \nThe day is celebrated by many working in the oil and gas industries\, and used as a platform to gather and discuss the may issues that face the industry.  Crude oil and other liquids produced from fossil fuels are refined into petroleum products that people use for many different purposes. Biofuels\, such as ethanol and biodiesel\, are also used as petroleum products\, mainly in mixtures with gasoline and diesel fuel \nPetroleum was discovered by Edwin L. Drake on August 27\, 1858 in Titusville\, Pennsylvania. He struck oil 70 feet beneath the surface in Titusville\, thus launching the modern-day petroleum industry in the USA.  This event is very important for the history of Titusville\, because since the discovery of crude oil the region became prosperous. \nAlthough used for many different types of product in many different industries\, we need to consider the fact the world will eventually run out of petrol reserves and we therefore need to find kinder alternatives and substitutes.  A highly contentious issue\, this is a subject that we should not ignore and continue to learn more about. \nYou could get involved in the day by considering what products you use in your lives that use petroleum and attempting to find kinder alternatives.  You could also research more about the effect on the world our petroleum consumption has\, and what is being done in your areas to minimise and risks. \n

SUMMARY:National Bow Tie Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:August the 28th is National Bow Tie Day!  If you’re a fan of a neck tie why not jazz things up a bit and wear a bow tie to celebrate this occasion! \nThe first bow ties allegedly appeared in the early 17th Century in France\, when French soldiers brought cravats to their homeland at the end of the Thirty Years War.  The garments are based upon the Croation Soldiers neck tie\, which was designed to keep the collars of the shirts together. \nThe bow ties became an instant hit in 1886\, when a tobacco magnate Pierre Lorillard wore one with his new style of formal wear to the Tuxedo Club.  His black-and-white outlook became very popular among fashion enthusiasts.

SUMMARY:Urology Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Launched in 2014\, Urology Awareness Month takes place every September to raise the profile of urology health. Throughout the month\, teams of experts and patients aim to increase public awareness of all urological cancers\, diseases and conditions that affect the kidney\, bladder\, prostate and male reproductive organs. As well as highlighting the symptoms associated with such diseases the month looks to also talk about the impact they have on all aspects of a persons life. \nWe set up Urology Awareness Month because there is a lot of stigma surrounding urology health. From testicular cancer to UTIs\, male infertility to incontinence\, urology health is often a hard subject for people to open up about. \nOur goal with Urology Awareness Month is to break down the stigma around urology health. We know that catching a urology disease early is crucial in order to get the right treatment quicker.So\, the more openly we can talk about urology health\, the better. \nSo\, join us each September as we scream and shout about urology health. No one should feel they have to deal with these diseases in silence. \nFind out more at www.theurologyfoundation.org/get-involved/urology-awareness-month \n

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer’s Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Alzheimer’s Month 2019 is September. It is an annual international event\, always held in September and run by Alzheimer’s Disease International\, (ADI). \nThe aim of the month is to raise awareness and challenge stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s and dementia. The event has been running since 2012\, and September 21st is World Alzheimer’s Day. \nGlobally there is thought to be poor understanding and a great deal of stigma surrounding dementia\, so the work of World Alzheimer’s Month is vital and is growing and targeting the stigma and lack of understanding and knowledge surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and dementia as well as supporting those suffering with the disease. \nThe month is an opportunity for individuals\, businesses and charities to hold events and raise awareness in their communities of the effects of dementia. Participants can get campaign materials for their event from ADI\, and anyone unable to arrange their own event but keen to take part\, can find events run by their National Alzheimer’s Charity and participate in those. \nWorld Alzheimer’s Month is an opportunity for sufferers\, carers\, professionals\, press and media and communities to work together against dementia as well as raising awareness of the realities of it\, while combating stigma and misinformation and lobbying the government for better help and care. \nDementia is a degenerative brain condition that affects over 50 million people internationally and which robs a person of their memory\,competency\, comprehension and behavioural awareness\, usually slowly\, over years\, it is a sad condition to live with or to witness in a loved one\, there are over 100 forms of dementia\, the most common being Alzheimer’s Disease at 50-60% of all dementia cases. \n

SUMMARY:Organic September 2020
DESCRIPTION:Organic September is a month-long campaign which aims to raise awareness of Organic products\, and the brands\, producers and farmers who bring them to us in the UK. \nFoods labelled as organic must meet strict regulations on how they have been grown and produced. All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \nWhen you buy organic you can be sure that the products you are buying:\n Contain no artificial additives or preservatives.\n Contain fewer pesticides. There are only 20 pesticides that can be used by organic farmers all of which are derived from natural ingredients. This is compared to almost 300 pesticides used in regular farming.\n Conform to high standards of animal welfare.\n Contain no genetically modified ingredients.\n Have been produced in a way that is sustainable. \nIt’s easy to get involved\, just look for the organic logo or why not think about growing your own! The Soil Association says that by switching just one item in your shop to organic will help contribute to changing our food system\, buying more organic food means more organic farms so fewer pesticides which is better for our wildlife and means more farm animals raised under higher welfare standards. \n

SUMMARY:Vascular Disease Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Our supporters include healthcare professionals\, individuals with vascular disease\, and their families and friends\, and this year we would like to encourage you all to Step It Up‚for September.\nStep It Up‚for awareness of vascular disease\nThe understanding of vascular disease and its effect on our lives\, by the general public\, is often poor\, and the Circulation Foundation strives to highlight and promote awareness for vascular disease to the general public\, so that everyone understands how important our work is. Vascular disease is the collective term for diseases of the arteries\, veins and lymphatics. Every part of the body to which blood flows can be affected by it. It’s as common as cancer and heart disease and accounts for 40% of deaths in the UK\, many of which are preventable. \nArterial diseases include: Peripheral vascular disease\, Aneurysmal disease\, Carotid disease and Stroke\, Leg ulcers\nVenous diseases include: Varicose veins\, Leg ulcers\, Deep vein thrombosis\nLymphatic disease include: Lymphoedema\nStep It Up‚for fundraising\nLike any charity\, the Circulation Foundation is wholly dependent on money from fund raising. The money we raise goes towards funding and promoting research into the causes\, treatment and prevention of vascular disease in the UK. We also provide essential information to patients and their families\, whilst raising awareness of vascular disease and the importance of healthy veins and arteries\, to ensure we can lead longer\, healthier lives. Why not make fundraising part of your event or activity to help us continue our work.\nStep It Up‚for stopping smoking\nSmoking is the worst enemy of vascular disease. It is very rare for healthcare professionals to find someone with arterial vascular disease who has not smoked in their past. It increases the risk of heart attacks\, strokes and lower limb amputation. Could you start the process to stopping smoking? Find out more information on how to quit successfully from your GP or local pharmacist. Find a local smoking cessation group. Look at the different nicotine replacements\, and decide what you are going to use once you decide to quit. Once prepared you are ready to go\, and Step It Up‚for September. \nStep It Up‚for healthy eating \nEating a healthy diet is good for us all; however it can also reduce your chances of developing vascular disease. A good balanced diet not only keeps your weight under control\, it helps reduce your cholesterol levels\, helps keep your blood pressure under control and also reduces your risk of getting diabetes. A high cholesterol\, high blood pressure and diabetes are all risk factors for vascular disease. Share information about a healthy diet with your friends and family. Why not take this opportunity to start a new healthier diet and a new healthier lifestyle yourself. Document your new recipes\, take photographs of your food\, and track your weight loss. \nFor more information please visit:\nhttps://www.circulationfoundation.org.uk/help-advice/vascular-health/a-healthy-diet\nStep It Up‚for regular exercise\nExercise keeps us all fit and healthy\, and for patients with vascular disease it can be particularly important. Patients with peripheral vascular disease \ncan improve their symptoms and ability to mobilise\, by undertaking a specific exercise programme. Patients who require an operation\, both major and minor\, can improve their recovery by being fitter and healthier beforehand. Could this be the right time for you to increase your level of exercise? Start with simple goals\, and slowly build up your own exercise regime. Combine your new regular exercise with fundraising during September\, and organise a sponsored walk or a sponsored 5K run. \n

SUMMARY:CMT Awareness Month (Charcot-Marie-Tooth) 2020
DESCRIPTION:How many times have you been asked what condition do you have only to receive a completely blank expression and the words haven’t heard of that one! when you tell them! \nEven worse than that what about when it happens when you’re at the doctors or at your neurologist’s clinic!\nAwareness is important!\nWouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone not just the medical profession knew what Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease is\, like they do for other\, rarer\, conditions like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or Motor Neurone Disease.\nAll of us in the world’s CMT organisations often hear from people with CMT saying that it’s not happening fast enough. It represents public awareness and greater understanding for Charcot Marie Tooth disease\, effective treatment options\, such as physiotherapy and orthotics and hope for genetic treatments into the future frustration that we have every right to feel. We get frustrated too. But\, everyone can push our cause forward by channeling frustrations into opportunities and bringing the community together for strength in numbers together we ARE stronger. \nSo\, we ask you\, people with CMT\, carers\, health care professionals\, policy makerseveryone in our global village\, mark your calendars for CMT Awareness Month in September so we\, collectively\, can make it happen faster! \nInternational CMT Awareness Month is just 6 months away\, and we are excited about engaging the public at large in this annual awareness campaign to help us collectively take the conversation level on CMT disease up a few notches! We recognize that CMT disease is a 24/7/365 battle for more than 6 million people worldwide and until a treatment and/or cure is achieved\, every month is CMT Awareness Month. \nThis is an opportunity for the entire community to fire up all engines‚and to use all communication resources‚to drive the dialogue on CMT so: \nthe general public understands CMT better;\nchildren and people with CMT receive earlier diagnoses and better access to what treatment there is;\nmedical professionals engage with people with CMT to improve their care and quality of life;\nurgently needed resources for the CMT community are given a priority\, including increased funding for CMT research. \nWhether writing to the media on-line or off-line on the impact of CMT\, hosting fundraisers\, sharing information about CMT with your network of friends\, colleagues\, and family members\, or donating to support programs and research grants to raise CMT’s profile and find a treatmentwe need to work together to generate more awareness for CMT! \nWhatever you do\, every single action‚even something as simple as reposting this to your Facebook page‚counts and helps our community get the word out about CMT so the public will recognize it. \nEveryone who has or cares about someone with CMT has got to stand up and be counted as someone who cares about the issues facing our community. Together‚and with your help‚we can bring help\, hope\, and healing to all people worldwide impacted by Charcot Marie Tooth Disease. \n

SUMMARY:Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:September 2020 is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month\, and is symbolised by a gold ribbon\, worn to commemorate the event. This is an annual international awareness month to raise support\, funding and awareness of childhood cancers and the impact for sufferers and families of sufferers of childhood cancer. It was founded in 2010 by former US President Barack Obama and is mainly run in the form of awareness events by cancer charities. \nChildhood cancer is devastating to growth and development in children\, and devastating to their families and friends. At a time when young people should be focusing on school\, play and socialising\, if they have cancer\, their focus can be on medication\, operations\, and what life they have left. \nParents of childhood cancer sufferers have the anguish of watching their children suffer\, and the stress of decisions on medications and treatments as well as decisions on time of work for themselves and time off school for the child\, and worst\, trying to explain to a child what is happening to them and answering the resulting questions on life and faith\, and worst of all is the loss of a child to cancer\, a devastation that can never be put right. \nSome forms of cancer are mainly or exclusively only seen in children\, and that is something highlighted by the awareness month. Children can be more resilient to cancer and cancer treatments than adults\, and there are many cases of triumph and complete recovery\, where children make a complete recovery and grow up to normal life. But awareness\, education and support are vital\, which is why Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is also vital. \n

DESCRIPTION:September 2020 is the annual Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month and is used as an opportunity to encourage women to become more aware about cancers of the cervix\, vagina\, vulva\, ovaries\, and uterus including early detection and prevention. \nEstablished in 1999 by the Foundation For Womens Cancer\, this awareness raising campaign seeks to highlight risk factors\, symptoms\, early detection and prevention strategies. \nGynecological cancers are those that develop in a woman’s reproductive tract. These include: \nCervical cancer\nOvarian cancer\nUterine cancer\nVaginal cancer\nVulvar cancer \nAffecting approximately 98000 women a year in the United States it is vital that we take to to educate ourselves and other women around us about the disease. Vaccines & screening for some cancers are available\, but amazingly not everyone takes up the opportunity to have the vaccination or be screened. The importance of either of these should not be underestimated and we must encourage all we know to take them up if available to them \nSignificant amounts of information are available online about this awareness month and we encourage you to get informed and share your knowledge. With promotional badges\, wrist bands\, posters\, downloads\, fact sheets and collection boxes available from the many organisations supporting this campaign it is easy to raise awareness and most importantly funds for more vital research. \n#GynaecologicalCancerAwarenessMonth.\n#takeactionnotchances \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:National Payroll Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Taking place on the 4-6 September\, National Payroll Week was established to raise the profile and awareness of payroll in the UK.  It helps demonstrate the impact payroll has on the UK economy through contributing towards the £4.46bn* collected through income tax and National Insurance. \nIt aims to provide payroll professionals with a celebration week to highlight that they do more than just push a button and can benefit organisations through strategic decision making related to overall reward and remuneration. \nPayroll is the largest expenditure in most UK organisations and therefore should be managed by qualified professionals. Payroll can save employees money through salary sacrifice and other arrangements which improves employee motivation and morale. \n

SUMMARY:Organ Donation Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Organ Donation Week 2018 took place on Monday 3rd to Sunday 9th September. During next year’s campaign we will continue to raise awareness of the important need for families to talk about organ donation to help save lives. \nThe campaign this year saw a tremendous amount of media coverage\, social media activity and support on the ground at events. \nOur key campaign asset was titled Hugs\, a video showcasing two brothers\, Louie and Freddie. It focuses on the joy Louie feels at having his younger brother Freddie around\, since he has had a liver and heart valve transplant. We encourage you to continue to share this on your social media channels and to show it at your local events to emotionally engage people with organ donation. \nOver the course of the campaign\, many celebrity influencers shared our posts\, including well known vlogger Zoella. Zoella has an audience of over 10 million so her support was a great way to get the organ donation message out there. Other key influencers include Anton du Beke\, Matt Le Tissier and Alan Shearer. \nOver 34\,000 people joined the NHS Organ Donor Register during Organ Donation Week 2017\, a huge testament to the work that took place all across the country to get people talking about organ donation\, and supporting the cause. \n

SUMMARY:Victory over Japan Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Unlike most counties who celebrate the day on August 14th\, the United States celebrate Victory over Japan Day (V-J Day) on September 2nd. \nOn this day in 1945\, the Japanese Instrument of Surrender was formally signed on board USS Missouri. By the end of July 1945\, the imminent defeat of Japan in the Second World War became obvious. Atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and a failed military coup became the last straw that made Emperor Hirohito announce the surrender of Japan to the Allies. \nJapan surrendered on August 14/15 (depending on the time zone)\, 1945\, and in many countries this date is observed as Victory over Japan Day.The formal signing of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender took place aboard USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2\, 1945. President Harry S. Truman designated September 2 as Victory over Japan Day. \nThe name V-J Day was selected to remind of V-E Day (Victory in Europe Day) celebrated on May 8. V-J Day is also sometimes referred to as Victory in the Pacific Day (V-P Day). Although V-J Day is celebrated throughout the United States\, it is recognized as an official holiday only in Rhode Island\, where it is called Victory Day. \nInstead of September 2\, Victory Day is celebrated on the second Monday in August. \n

SUMMARY:EveryWoman Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:EveryWoman Day is all about shining a light into dark places\, to improve the health and wellbeing of millions of everyday women who do extraordinary things every day to manage the pain\, indignity and challenges of a reproductive health condition. \nMost of these diseases\, such as endometriosis\, lichen schlerosus and interstitial cystitis\, are so poorly understood that they can take a decade to diagnose. It’s shocking that there is so little known about so many of these conditions\, which can strike anyone regardless of other aspects of their health\, wealth or background. It’s vital that we raise awareness\, funds  and hope.\nTraditionally\, we have been embarrassed to talk about these problems. But the more we share our stories\, the more women can learn how to manage the same condition  because often there are no cures. \nThat’s why the EveryWoman Award and ¬£250 prize will be presented to the woman who shares the most inspirational story about dealing with these problems with the eye-catching visual belly selfies on EveryWomanDay.com.\nSince these can be embarrassing problems\, the belly selfies allow you to share your story anonymously. It’s all about sharing  in that way we are caring for each other\, supporting and uplifting each other. \nAt EveryWomanDay.com you can also donate to relevant charities so that they can help to fund much-needed research\, or provide relevant information to support women\, or help them to get the appropriate help.\nLess than 2.5% of publicly funded research is currently devoted to the whole area of female health conditions\, so it’s not as if cures or new medicines are becoming available all the time. Women must manage their symptoms as best they can with whatever lifestyle changes\, medicines and therapies are available to them. \nAs well as raising awareness and funds\, it’s important to raise hope. Women who live with these conditions are awesome and deserve recognition. That’s why we’ve launched the EveryWoman Day Award with ¬£250 as a prize.\nWomen can be in pain and face challenges every day just to keep going to work\, or getting the kids to school\, or looking after elderly parents or a multitude of other things that need to happen. \nThe more women share their stories about how they cope with their conditions\, or overcome them\, the more our hopes can grow.\nDr Karen Gardiner\, MD of Purple Orchid\, the women’s self-care company which established EveryWoman Day said: We started the campaign with a set of striking photos which demonstrate how every woman can contribute to the conversation anonymously  post a photo with a word on their belly that resonates for them\, and write their story.\nWomen’s health issues happen in this area\, and we wanted to symbolise the fact that they have been kept under wraps\, but they no longer need to be below the belt’.\nThere has been little drug development for decades for many of these diseases\, in part because money goes to better known and\, some would argue\, more important diseases.\nIf we talk about these conditions and their effect on our daily lives\, that may change. If the incidence and more importantly the impact is better understood\, the pharmaceutical industry may consider more research and subsequently\, development.\nWomen can be stuck with these problems for life\, therefore they have to manage them for life. So\, by sharing information\, we can reduce the feelings of isolation. More women can potentially improve their symptoms and reduce their suffering. Lives can be improved by talking about what works and what doesn’t\, what makes things worse\, how to cope with the debilitating effects and simply how we get through each day of pain\, exhaustion\, depression and other difficulties.\nIt’s not always Mum who knows best\, sometimes daughters have more knowledge. And a modern girl’s problems can be recognised by an older woman who has lived through a similar experience in a different era. If we can acknowledge and celebrate our own strengths\, share stories\, inspire each other and make difficult topics easier to discuss\, we can all live longer in better health.\nDr Gardiner added: We women can give ourselves a hard time about the things we haven’t done\, rather than appreciating the things that we have achieved.\nSo\, get involved\, don’t be silent. Paint\, scrawl or scribble your relevant word on your belly using lipstick\, marker pen\, face paint or whatever else works\, take a photo and post it on the website and share on social media with your story. EveryWoman needs you. \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Charity 2020
DESCRIPTION:As part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development\, adopted in September 2015\, the UN has recognized the importance of eradicating poverty in all forms. Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. \nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human   suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity.   This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event. \n

SUMMARY:International Vulture Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The first Saturday in September each year is International Vulture Awareness Day. \nVultures are an ecologically vital group of birds that face a range of threats in many areas that they occur. Populations of many species are under pressure and some species are facing extinction. \nThe International Vulture Awareness Day has grown from Vulture Awareness Days run by the Birds of Prey Programme of the Endangered Wildlife Trust in South Africa and the Hawk Conservancy Trust in England\, who decided to work together and expand the initiative into an international event. \nIt is now recognised that a co-ordinated international day will publicise the conservation of vultures to a wider audience and highlight the important work being carried out by the world’s vulture conservationists. \nOn the first Saturday in September\, the aim is for each participating organisation to carry out their own activities that highlight vulture conservation and awareness. This website provides a central place for all participants to outline these activities and see the extent of vulture conservation across the world. Additionally\, it is a valuable resource for vulture workers to learn about the activities of their colleagues and to perhaps develop new collaborations or exchange information. \n

SUMMARY:World Suicide Prevention Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on September 10 each year to promote worldwide action to prevent suicides. Various events and activities are held during this occasion to raise awareness that suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death.\nWhat do people do?\nWorld Suicide Prevention Day gives organizations\, government agencies and individuals a chance to promote awareness about suicide\, mental illnesses associated with suicide\, as well as suicide prevention. Organizations such as the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and World Health Organization (WHO) play a key role in promoting this event. \nEvents and activities for World Suicide Prevention Day include: \n 	The launch of new government initiatives to prevent suicide.\n 	Conferences\, open days\, educational seminars or public lectures.\n 	Media programs promoting suicide awareness and prevention.\n 	Memorial services or candlelight ceremonies to remember those who died from suicide.\n 	Organizing cultural or spiritual events\, fairs or exhibitions.\n 	Launches of publications about suicide awareness and prevention.\n 	Training courses about suicide and depression awareness. \nMany of these initiatives are celebrated in various countries worldwide. Some of these events and activities are held at a local level\, while others are nation-wide. Many communities around the world reaffirm their commitment to suicide prevention on World Suicide Prevention Day.\nBackground\nNearly 3000 people on average commit suicide daily\, according to WHO. For every person who completes a suicide\, 20 or more may attempt to end their lives. About one million people die by suicide each year. Suicide is a major preventable cause of premature death which is influenced by psycho-social\, cultural and environmental risk factors that can be prevented through worldwide responses that address these main risk factors. There is strong evidence indicating that adequate prevention can reduce suicide rates. \nWorld Suicide Prevention Day\, which first started in 2003\, is annually held on September 10 each year as an IASP initiative. WHO co-sponsors this event. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to: \n 	Raise awareness that suicide is preventable.\n 	Improve education about suicide.\n 	Spread information about suicide awareness.\n 	Decrease stigmatization regarding suicide. \nWHO and IASP work with governments and other partners to ensure that suicide is no longer stigmatized\, criminalized or penalized. WHO’s role is to build political action and leadership to develop national responses to prevent suicide\, strengthen national planning capacity to establish the core building blocks of such a national response\, and build the national capacities to implement these responses. \n

SUMMARY:National Hot Cross Buns Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:For some reason the National Hot Cross Buns Day is celebrated on September 11. \nIt is strange because hot cross buns are typically baked and served on Good Friday. Hot cross buns are spiced sweet buns made with raisins or currants. They are so named because they are marked with a cross on the top. Hot cross buns are surrounded by many superstitions in English folklore. \nFor example\, buns baked on Good Friday are believed to have healing properties. Sailors used to take hot cross buns on their voyages to protect themselves against shipwreck. People also used to believe that a hot cross bun hung in the kitchen could protect the house against fires. The handing bun needed to be replaced once a year.Hot cross buns are popular in English-speaking countries. Some countries have local variations of these pastry. \nFor example\, in the UK supermarkets offer apple-cinnamon\, orange-cranberry\, and toffee buns. In Australian and New Zealand\, chocolate and coffee-flavored versions of the bun have become popular. \nIf you like buns and don’t want to wait until Easter to enjoy them\, you should definitely celebrate the National Hot Cross Buns Day by baking a batch of buns and treating your family\, friends\, neighbors and coworkers. \n

SUMMARY:Emergency Number Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:September 11th is the day Emergency Number Day was proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1987. \nThis observance focuses on the United States public safety communication. Three-digit emergency telephone numbers originated in the UK in 1937. The emergency telephone number used in the United States was created by the Federal Communications Commission and AT&T in 1968. \nThe combination 9-1-1 was chosen because it was brief\, easy to remember and dial. The first 9-1-1 call was placed on February 16\, 1968 in Haleyville\, Alabama although it wasn’t to report a crime or request emeergency responder help!   Alabama Speaker of the House\, Rankin Fite\, made the first call from another city hall room. It was answered by Congressman Tom Bevill on a bright red telephone located in the police department. Also on hand was Haleyville Mayor James Whitt\, Public Service Commission President Eugene (Bull) Connor\, and B. W. Gallagher. \nIn the same year 9-1-1 officially became the national emergency number for the USA. However\, it became widely known only in the 1970s. \nAll 9-1-1 calls are answered by special call centers known as public-safety answering points (PSAPs). Calling this number provides callers access to police\, ambulance\, and firefighting services through trained dispatchers.9-1-1 Emergency Number Day is observed on September 11. This date was selected because the numbers 9-1-1 correspond to September 11 in the month-day date format. Since 2001\, the importance of the Emergency Number Day has declined due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and subsequent proclamation of Patriot Day as a national observance. \n

SUMMARY:Patriot Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Patriot Day is a United States national observance that honors the memory of those who were killed in the September 11 attacks. It was first observed in 2002\, after the proclamation by President George W. Bush. \nOn September 11\, 2001 al-Qaeda launched a series of coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States\, killing almost 3\,000 people. In the immediate aftermath of the tragic events\, President proclaimed September 14\, 2001 as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11\, 2001. A year later\, September 11 was made a national day of mourning referred to as Patriot Day. This observance has been proclaimed annually since 2002. \nIn 2009\, President Barack Obama rededicated it as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance. It is not a public holiday therefore government offices\, educational institutions and businesses do not close on this day. On Patriot Day\, the national flag is flown at half-mast on all United States government buildings and establishments. Individuals are also encouraged to display flags on their homes. \nA moment of silence is traditionally observed at 8:46 AM. Many organizations and establishments hold memorial ceremonies to honor the victims of 9/11. \n

SUMMARY:Balance Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:IMAGINE LIVING LIFE WITHOUT BALANCE.\nClose your eyes and stand on one foot. It’s hard right? Now imagine having that same disoriented feeling on two feet\, and with your eyes open. Balance is something most of us take for granted. It’s automatically hardwired into our bodies at birth\, evolving and adapting as we grow and age. While basic balance is innate\, some of us are able to perfect or even master our balance through exercise and practice. We don’t often think about our balance‚until of course\, we lose it.\nWhile most people may not be familiar with the word vestibular‚relating to your inner ear\, brain\, and sense of balance‚many of us have likely experienced the awkward or sometimes scary feeling when we momentarily lose our balance. Maybe it’s taking a wrong step or getting motion sickness aboard a jostling boat. Or that nauseating head-spinning sensation after one too many alcoholic beverages. Eventually our balance comes back and life moves on.This is not the case for the over 69\,000 Americans who suffer from the mostly invisible and frequently debilitating symptoms of chronic imbalance association with a vestibular disorder. Whether it comes on gradually over time or all of the sudden\, bouts of dizziness\, vertigo\, and nausea can make many of life’s more routine tasks virtually intolerable. Just try getting a good night’s sleep with a high-pitched ringing in your ear. Or try to focus on something as everything around you appear to be spinning. For those living with a vestibular condition\, everyday life becomes a progressively challenging obstacle course to navigate.\nThat is why VeDA pioneered Balance Awareness Week in 1997: to be an opportunity each year to come together and shine a light on these otherwise invisible balance disorders. If we’re all more aware\, then we can better understand and be empathetic to those who need our support the most‚our family\, friends\, co-workers\, and neighbors. While many of these balance disorders are incurable\, faster and more accurate diagnosis\, along with effective coping strategies can greatly improve quality of life. Join us this September for Balance Awareness Week\, and together we can pave the way toward restoring a life rebalanced.\nBy participating in Balance Awareness Week\, you can increase awareness about vestibular disorders and funds to support patients in their journey back to balance. \nHOW DOES IT WORK? \n 	Put Balance Awareness Week on your calendar for September 15-21\, 2019\n 	Set a personal fundraising goal to support VeDA and vestibular research\n 	Register your Personal Campaign Page (Coming soon!)\n 	Share your Life Rebalanced story to help inform and inspire people\n 	Take a selfie with a Flat Flamingo and share it on social media using hashtag #BalanceAwarenessWeek2018 (Coming soon!)\n 	Invite friends & family to LIKE VeDA on Facebook to learn more about vestibular disorders\, and share our educational posts \nWHERE DOES BALANCE AWARENESS WEEK TAKE PLACE?\nBalance Awareness Week is a series of virtual events\, both online and in communities around the world. Check vestibular.org for opportunities to participate\, lend your voice\, and take action! \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Democracy 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Democracy 2019 is held on September 15th\, and is held on the same date every year\, and tends to have a theme\, the theme for 2017 was ‘Democracy and Conflict Prevention’. \nInternational Day of Democracy is an annual day that has been running for 10 years. It is a United Nations\, (UN)\, day of observation\, the purpose of the day is to review the state of democracy in the world and uphold and and promote democracy and its principles. The day was founded on the 20th anniversary of the First International Conference of the New or Restored Democracies\, which promoted global democracy. \nOn the day\, individuals and organizations of all kinds work together for democracy and hold events to raise awareness of democracy\, including conferences\, discussions and debates\, as well as press conferences and publicity campaigns though distribution of leaflets\, posters and flyers\, often with the UN logo on them. Major events to commemorate the day are held at UN headquarters. \nDemocracy and human rights are closely linked\, and UN covenants on these matters are to the fore on this observance day. Democracy is a state where the people have rights\, especially to vote for and elect their government and regulation from among themselves\, rather than being controlled by a government over whom they have no right of dissent\, election or protest. Lack of democracy can lead to lack of rights or a voice\, and this impacts on human rights as set out by the UN. \n

SUMMARY:EUROPEAN­­ MOBILITY­ WEEK 2020
DESCRIPTION:Europeans love variety  in food\, in fashion\, in music  so why is it that when it comes to transport so many of us stick to one mode? This year’s EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK encourages us to explore the many different options available for getting from A to B\, and to think about the mode that best suits our particular journey.\nEUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2018 focused on multimodality‚- the mixing of transport modes within the same journey or for different trips. Many of us instinctively opt for the same method of transport when moving around without necessarily examining the needs of the specific journey. The car may be the best way to take your family to the seaside\, for example\, but is it the best way to get them to the city centre where space and access is often limited?\nThis year\, why not test out different transport modes: cycle to the gym to get a head start on burning calories\, bring your bike on the train to beat the rush hour traffic\, or take the bus and then stroll to the shops to avoid parking fees!\nAs well as providing health benefits\, significant savings can be achieved through a multimodal approach\, particularly when short journeys are completed through walking and cycling.\nEmbracing the concept of multimodality means rethinking the way we move about our cities\, and having the willingness to try out new forms of mobility. From a city’s perspective\, it requires the political will to support alternative transport methods.\nBy introducing some sustainable transport modes into our journeys\, not only can we have a positive impact on the environment\, we may just find that we’re fitter and happier\, with some extra spending money too! \n

SUMMARY:Sexual Health Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to announce that the theme for this year’s national Sexual Health Week will be making sexual health inclusive. \nAs society shifts and changes\, we’ve become more aware that not all sexual health services and information are suitable for everyone’s needs. We’re looking forward to exploring this important topic in-depth this year and hope that it will encourage greater inclusivity across the sector. \nWe know that sexual health and education professionals have a huge amount of knowledge and expertise to share on this subject  but also a lot to learn from one another. \nSexual Health Week 2019 will take place from Monday 16 to Sunday 22 September\, and as always we’ll be providing you with useful resources to help you take part in the week. \nJoin in the conversation on Twitter. and tell us what you’ll be planning for the week\, using the hashtag #SHW19. \n

SUMMARY:National Coding Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:How to get involved with National Coding Week.\nChildren are part of a confident Digital Generation having grown up with the internet\, smart phones and coding classes. However\, many adults have missed out on the digital revolution and feel left behind.\nThe aim of National Coding Week is to give adults the opportunity to learn some digital skills.\nWe want to create taster sessions for parents\, teachers\, business leaders\, school leavers\, the unemployed\, people with autism or those who have retired. It’s open to everyone! \nWe are not expecting people to become coders after one session! For many people it takes years of practice and experience but these taster sessions can be the first step on a journey into a digital business or digital career.\nChildren can inspire adults\nChildren are learning digital skills in school or through coding clubs such as CoderDojos. We therefore would like these clubs to open their doors to parents for a one-off session in which the children will teach the adults some of the skills they have learnt.\nLibraries can act as focal points\nLibraries are in an ideal position to act as a focal point and can host a coding session. Either the staff can lead the session or someone who is confident and familiar with coding from the local community can share their skills. Read CILIP’s blog: Libraries‚  how they can improve our Digital Literacy\nSchools and Code Clubs can get involved\nChildren are learning coding but many parents don’t understand what their children are doing and many non-specialist teachers and governors feel they have missed out on these skills. \nThis year in partnership with Makewaves we are offering children the opportunity to learn and share new skills by collecting digital badges. \nShare Your Skills \nShare Your Skills Badge  involves planning a digital skills lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Create a simple lesson plan of what you will be teaching your class. The lesson‚can be any time from 15 minutes to 60 minutes and it can be taught by a single person or a group of 5 maximum. Each individual needs to have a clear role. \n  \n  \n  \nStay Safe Online \nStay Safe Online  Badge  involves planning a stay safe online  lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Research a stay safe online topic\, examples are listed below but you could choose any topic that is important to you: \nData Protection | Cyber Security | Social Media Management | Privacy settings | Passwords management | Knowing who you are communicating with (stranger danger) \n  \n  \nFor more details check out the National Coding Week / Makewaves Digital Badges\nWeb\, app\, creative and digital businesses can throw open their doors\nThose with the expertise can share their skills and have fun teaching people the basics of coding. There are many training organisations who offer courses throughout the year. They can contribute to the week by offering taster sessions to encourage people to sign-up.\nTech Hubs\nThere are hundreds of tech hubs with amazing businesses working from them. The tech hubs are giving start-ups a platform from which to launch businesses and inspire others. These can be the perfect venue for the week and we would love them to be involved.\nAdvice \n 	Keep it simple‚  it might simply be showing people the resources available online at Codex \, Codecademy or TeamTreehouse.\n 	If you are able to organise it\, get a friendly local web development agency\, ICT teacher or FE college tutor to lead the session.\n 	A simple introductory session can be to get people familiar with tags / code that make up HTML and CSS and show how they work together. \nActivities\nActivities might include: \nUsing a text editor to combine HTML and CSS to build a simple web page \nProgramming a Raspberry Pi \nShowing the stages of development of a simple Web App \nor anything else that you are working on‚  it’s entirely up to you!\nTimings\nWe would like the sessions to be manageable and achievable‚  we don’t want to create lots of extra work for people. We imagine a typical session lasting 1hr‚  2 hrs. To include a general introduction and then straight into giving the adults a hands-on taster of the activities which will build their confidence. Adults can leave with links to online resources such as Codex \, Codecademy or TeamTreehouse  where they can learn more in their own time. \nThis is intended to be a one-off session only\, a taster session\, to see if adults want to learn more.\nNext Steps \n 	Sign up for the event at codingweek.org\n 	Organise a public or private event and pin it to the map\n 	Hold the event\, take photos and tweet using the hashtag #nationalcodingweek \nWe would love to hear from people willing to organise events including libraries\, schools\, digital agencies\, tech hubs and coding clubs / CoderDojos. If you let us know what you’re planning we can give you a shoutout and feature you in the run up to the week.\nWhy learning Digital Skills is important\nThe digital economy has grown enormously in the past 8 years and clusters of digital businesses are springing up everywhere.\nIt has been reported that 50% of digital product developers are self-taught and as many as 83% of app developers have taught themselves.\nThere are now more people working in tech jobs in the south east of England than the whole of California but there is a skills shortage and many adults could contribute to the digital economy if they had the confidence to get started. \nCase Study\nBrad  how learning to code changed my life!\nFurther details\nEmail: richard@codingweek.org \nTwitter: @codingweek \n

SUMMARY:National Eczema Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:During National Eczema Week 2018 (15-23 September) we urged everyone to Take action on eczema’. Many people aren’t managing their eczema as well as they could and we all need a nudge sometimes to make some improvements! Eczema is a highly personal condition and people respond differently to triggers and treatments. Sometimes you need to try a few things before finding a self-management regimen that works best for you. Here are our seven top tips: \n 	1. Keep your home cool to ease itching  around 18¬∞C is ideal. \n 	2. Go fragrance-free. Anything with a strong scent\, from soap to air freshener\, may be irritating to your skin. \n 	3. Mind the gap! Leave at least 10 minutes  or ideally longer  between applying an emollient and a topical steroid. This stops the steroid spreading to areas of skin unaffected by eczema or being diluted. It doesn’t matter which is applied first. \n 	4. Pinch itchy skin rather than scratching it\, to avoid damaging the skin’s barrier. \n 	5. Use your emollients at least twice a day to prevent dryness\, and at other times whenever your skin feels dry and itchy. \n 	6. Go back to basics on skincare. Check with a healthcare professional for advice to make sure you’re applying your creams properly and managing your eczema triggers as best you can. \n 	7. Don’t cut foods out of your diet without medical advice unless you or your child have been diagnosed with a food allergy. If you cut foods without support\, you/they may miss out on important nutrients. \nFor more advice on managing your eczema call the National Eczema Society Helpline on 0800 089 1122 (8am-8pm\, Monday-to-Friday) or email your questions to helpline@eczema.org. \n

SUMMARY:National Spa Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Spa Week aims to raise public awareness of the real physical\, mental and emotional benefits that regular spa attendance can offer. Regular spa attendance for the whole family is a cultural norm in many parts of Europe. In the UK we still tend to view it as a once in a blue moon‚treat rather than a weekly or monthly essential. \nOur 21st century lives are fast paced\, more digitally influenced\, and busier than ever before. In the same way regular gym attendance keeps us physically fit\, regular spa attendance is an effective way to help combat the long term effects of everyday stress that we have become accustomed to living with. \nFrom the 16th September  22nd September 2019\, thousands of spas and salons across the UK are uniting to offer lots of exciting introductory offers and promotions on spa treatments so that more people can give it a try’. \n

SUMMARY:National Teaching Assistants Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Teaching Assistants’ Day takes place on 16 September every year. The whole purpose of the event is to recognise the valuable contribution Teaching Assistants make to the education and support of school children across England and Wales. \nHere are some facts about Teaching Assistants: \n– Did you know that the number of Teaching Assistants in the UK increased from 71\,800 in 2002 to 134\,100 in 2011?  Wow!\n– Teaching Assistants are appreciated by parents  and they can act as a bridge between home and school\n– They are an extra pair of eyes in the classroom\n– They are invaluable to teachers‚and they support teachers‚effectiveness\n– And\, where children have special needs  43% of parents with autistic children want more Teaching Assistants. \nThe day was created by Teaching Personnel who work with thousands of Teaching Assistants each year. And that’s why the day is a celebration of all Teaching Assistants. \nSo  on 16 September every year\, Teaching Personnel and selected partners plan activities and promotions for the day and encourage all schools\, teachers\, parents\, carers and children to share in a celebration of the often remarkable work carried out by Teaching Assistants. \nIf you want to find out more about Teaching Assistants then visit the National Teaching Assistants Day website for more information. \n

SUMMARY:Constitution Day (Citizenship Day) 2020
DESCRIPTION:Constitution Day (also referred to as Citizenship Day) is a United States federal observance that commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution and honors those who have become U.S. citizens by coming of age or naturalization. \nIt is observed annually on September 17.  \nThe delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the final version of the United States Constitution on September 17\, 1787. In 1911\, Iowa became the first state to recognize the anniversary of this event as Constitution Day. In 1917\, a committee formed by the Sons of the American Revolution started promoting this day. \nThe law establishing the present holiday was enacted in 2004. On this day\, all federal agencies and publicly funded educational establishments are required to provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution. When Constitution Day falls on a weekend or another holiday\, its observation is moved to the closest weekday. \n

SUMMARY:National HIV/ AIDS and Aging Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day is a U.S. awareness day observed on September 18 every year. Like most HIV/AIDS-related awareness days\, it is supported by AIDS.gov\, an internet portal for all federal domestic HIV and AIDS resources and information. \nAccording to the information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, people aged 55 and older accounted for 26% of the 1.2 million people living with HIV (diagnosed or undiagnosed) in the U.S. in 2013. Older patients are often diagnosed late in the course of infection\, which leads to shorter HIV-to-AIDS intervals. In 2014\, about 40% of people aged 55 and older were diagnosed with AIDS at the time of HIV diagnosis. \nIn addition\, thanks to the huge advancement in medical science\, more and more people are living longer than ever before therefore there is an increased need to understand the impact of the aging process upon those living with HIV/Aids. \nThere are several reasons for late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in older people. Medical institutions are less focused on testing older people\, while people aged 55 and older think that they are not exposed to the risk of infections or confuse the early symptoms of HIV with the signs of aging. \nNational HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day was launched to raise public awareness of the challenges that older Americans diagnosed with HIV have to face\, as well as of the importance of HIV prevention\, testing\, care\, and treatment among people aged 55 and older. \nShow your support for this campaign. \n

SUMMARY:International Talk like a Pirate Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Argh me hearties! So yer ‘ere to learn the vast secrets of this sacred day that soon be upon us!?\nYou guessed it\, we’re referring to ‘International Talk Like a Pirate Day’. If you’re here to get all the deets about when it is\, why it is and what to do for it\, then keep on reading! \nOrigins\nThis celebration was started in June 1995 (more than twenty years ago!) A innovative Ol’ Chumbucket and Cap’n Slappy (formally known as John Baur and Mark Summers) sat down and decided to start the holiday as a fun way to dress up as pirates and talk like them too! Though started in June\, Talk Like a Pirate Day is held on Thursday 19th September due to D-Day existing on 6th June. \nThis day offers an opportunity to not only mess around but to give something back. People can dress up as pirates and raise money for charities\, what’s better than that!? \nWhat Do I do?\nThis part is easy. Make sure you grab yourself an eye patch\, bandana\, baggy shirt and a little toy parrot or monkey. Make sure you use awful grammar and jump right into that accent. You could even have a pirate-themed party with edible gold coins and balloon sword fights! Don’t forget to get out Treasure Island or Pirates of the Caribbean if you’re not feeling as academic. \nPublic Service Announcement\nThough this is a pirate imitation day\, please do not pillage\, steal or brawl. Actual pirates aren’t that great\, so best to go for the parody version! \n

Life-altering Genetic Disorders affect around half a million children in the UK. Jeans for Genes Day is fundraising day for children with genetic conditions in the UK. \nOn Jeans for Genes day\, participating schools and workplaces allow students and staff to wear jeans and casual wear to school and work instead of their usual uniforms and formal workwear. They participate in fundraising by raising money in return for wearing casual wear and by holding events to raise money. \nMoney raised by Jeans for Genes Day is distributed in an annual grant programme that provides funds to groups and organizations that support children with genetic disorders. One of the main beneficiaries is Genetic Disorders UK\, an organization that supports families affected by genetic disorders. They are available here:\nhttp://www.geneticdisordersuk.org/ \nMoney raised for Jeans for Genes also goes on developing resources in schools to encourage inclusion of children affected by genetic disorders. \nSome of the outcomes of fundraising include holidays for families affected by genetic disorders\, provision of communication equipment\, sensory equipment\, support groups\, support websites\, mobility aids\, education and training\,and much more. \nThere is a dedicated website for Jeans for Jeans Day\, where you can find out more. Donations can be made on the website all year round\, and you can arrange your participation or your workplace’s participation. The website can be found here: www.jeansforgenesday.org \n

SUMMARY:National POW / MIA Recognition Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National POW/MIA Recognition Day is an observance that honors whose who were prisoners of war (POW) as well as those who are still missing in action (MIA). \nIt is observed in the United States on the third Friday in September\, in 2019 20th September. \nNational POW/MIA Recognition Day was proclaimed by the United States Congress in 1998. It is one of the six national observances when the POW/MIA Flag can be flown. The other five observances are Armed Forces Day\, Memorial Day\, Flag Day\, Independence Day\, and Veterans Day.  The POW/MIA flag was created by the National League of Families in 1972 and was officially recognized by the Congress in 1990. It is a symbol of concern about United States military personnel taken as POW or listed as MIA.  The POW/MIA flag should be no larger than the United States flag. It is typically flown immediately below or adjacent to the national flag as second in the order of precedence. \nOn National POW/MIA Recognition Day\, the flag is flown on the grounds of major military installations\, veterans memorials\, government agencies\, federal national cemeteries. \nIn the armed forces\, a single table and chair draped with the POW/MIA flag are displayed in mess halls and dining halls. Such installation symbolizes the hope for the return of these who are missing in action. \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Peace 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Day of Peace is an International event that is observed each year by nations all across the world. The event is commemorated on 21st of September each year. It is a day that was set aside by the United Nations General assembly for everyone around the world to devote to keeping peace\, despite any differences they may have\, as well as play a part in building a peace culture that will last for generations to come. \nInternational Day of Peace was started way back in 1981 through the resolution 36/67 by the United Nations General Assembly\, in an effort to reconcile people around the world. Last year’s theme was\, Together for Peace: Respect\, Safety\, and Dignity for all. This year’s theme is yet to be announced. \nCommunities across the world observe this day in different ways. Some observe the day through organising peace workshops\, engaging in feasts that bring people together for peace\, putting up peace poles\, and engaging in peace activities that bring people together. An activity that is common in people observing this day is the one minute silence that is observed at 12 noon across all time zones. This activity was started to create a ‘Peace Wave’ that moves around the globe. \n

SUMMARY:World Alzheimer's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:September 21st every year is World Alzheimer’s Day around the world. This is an international campaign aimed at raising awareness and challenge the common stigma that surrounds Alzheimer related dementia. \nAlzheimer’s is a progressive disease that impairs memory and other mental functions. It is the most common form of dementia that generalizes memory loss and loss of other essential cognitive abilities that are serious enough to interfere with an individual’s daily life. \nSeptember 2019 marks the 8th world Alzheimer’s month since the campaign was launched in 2012. From previous studies\, an average of 2 out of 3 people globally have little or no understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and associated dementia in their countries. \nSince its inception\, the impact of World Alzheimer’s Month is increasing. However\, the stigmatisation and lack of information surrounding dementia remains to be a global problem that calls for global action. Most people often think that this disease is a normal part of ageing. \nThough this may not be true\, a greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease is increasing age. This is evident by majority of Alzheimer’s patients being 65 years or older. This doesn’t completely classify the disease as an elderly disease. This is because there are approximately 200\,000 Americans under 65 suffering from disease. \nFor this year’s event\, organisations and interested individuals can get involved by supporting awareness through contacting the Alzheimer’s association in their specific country. \n

SUMMARY:National Dance Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Dance Day in the United States is held on the third Saturday in September. \nThis annual observance was created by Nigel Lythgoe\, producer of the television dance competition show So You Think You Can Dance. \nNational Dance Day is coordinated by The American Dance Movement\, formerly known as the Dizzy Feet Foundation (DFF)\, which focuses on supporting\, improving\, and increasing access to dance education in the USA. The foundation was founded in 2009 by Nigel Lythgoe and Adam Shankman. A year later\, Lythoe created National Dance Day.

SUMMARY:World Car Free Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:A Car-Free Day encourages motorists to give up their cars for a day. Organized events are held in some cities and countries. September 22 is World Car Free Day. According to The Washington Post\, the event promotes improvement of mass transit\, cycling and walking\, and the development of communities where jobs are closer to home and where shopping is within walking distance. Studies showed that for short trips in cities\, one can reach more quickly using a bicycle rather than using a car. \nThe events\, which vary by location\, give motorists and commuterists an idea of their locality with fewer cars. While projects along these lines had taken place from time to time on an ad hoc basis starting with the 1973 oil crisis\, it was only in October 1994 that a structured call for such projects was issued in a keynote speech by Eric Britton at the International Ciudades Accessibles (Accessible Cities) Conference held in Toledo (Spain).\nWithin two years the first Days were organized in Reykjavík(Iceland)\, Bath (United Kingdom) and La Rochelle (France)\, and the informal World Car Free Days Consortium was organized in 1995 to support Car-Free Days worldwide. The first national campaign was inaugurated in Britain by the Environmental Transport Association in 1997\, the French followed suit in 1998 as In town\, without my car! and was established as a Europe-wide initiative by the European Commission in 2000. In the same year the Commission enlarged the program to a full European Mobility Week which now is the major focus of the Commission\, with the Car-Free Day part of a greater new mobility whole. Also in 2000\, car free days went global with a World Carfree Day program launched by Carbusters\, now World Carfree Network\, and in the same year the Earth Car Free Day collaborative program of the Earth Day Network and the World Car Free Days collaborative. \n

SUMMARY:Fire Door Safety Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:A door’s a door’s a door\, right? No\, a fire door is an engineered safety device.\nFire doors are a crucial part of the passive fire protection of every commercial\, public and multiple occupancy building.  They save lives and property.\nThere are about 3 million new fire doors bought and installed every year in the UK\, the vast majority made from timber. Fire doors are often the first line of defence in a fire and their correct specification\, maintenance and management can be the difference between life and death for building occupants. However\, they remain a significant area of neglect\, often the first thing to be downgraded on a specification and mismanaged throughout their service life\, propped open\, damaged and badly maintained. Consequently\, we have created Fire Door Safety Week: \n 	To raise awareness of the critical role of fire doors\, drawing attention to specific issues such as poor installation and maintenance.\n 	To encourage building owners and users to check the operation and condition of their fire doors and to report those that aren’t satisfactory.\n 	To link together the initiatives of many organisations with common interests in the fire door and passive fire protection industries.\n 	To engage and educate people\, helping the whole building industry and every property owner to understand the correct specification\, supply\, installation\, operation\, inspection and maintenance of fire doors. \nSupported by a wide range of organisations\, Fire Door Safety Week is the brainchild of the British Woodworking Federation\, BWF-CERTIFIRE Scheme and Fire Door Inspection Scheme (FDIS).\nHow can you get involved?\nWhy not: \n 	Upload our logo and put a link to Fire Door Safety Week on your website.\n 	Tweet about Fire Door Safety Week or publicise your support on other social media – don’t forget to use the hashtag #FireDoorSafetyWeek.\n 	Hold a free CPD session for local businesses about fire door safety.\n 	Open up your factory and invite your local MP to see what you do to promote fire door safety.\n 	Use our videos to raise awareness among your staff or building users.\n 	Carry out an inspection of your fire doors\, or get a FDIS Certificated Inspector to help.\n 	Run a communications campaign or leaflet drop to tell your tenants about fire door safety.\n 	Display posters showing three simple fire door safety tips.\n 	Spend a day in your local builder’s merchants giving buyers advice on third-party certificated fire doors and the correct components.\n 	Distribute copies of our free fact cards on all aspects of fire door specification.\n 	Launch a new product or service that helps more people specify\, buy\, install or maintain their fire doors.\n 	Send an email to all your customers saying you support Fire Door Safety Week and letting them know about this website \nSo many options\, so much scope! What will you choose to do? \n

SUMMARY:National Eye Health Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:This year’s  National Eye Health Week is set to take place from the 23rd to 29th September 2019. Like other awareness campaigns\, this campaign aims to inspire and educate people on the importance of eye health and why they should go for regular sight tests. \nMany people often fear losing vision; yet take minimal steps in caring for their eyes. This is what the National Eye Health Week aims to change. Having said that\, here are some of the interesting facts about eye health you may not know. \n About 2 million persons are living with severe sight loss in UK\, that can significantly impact their daily activities. Half of this population’s sight loss is avoidable.\n A sight test easily detects the early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma\, which can be treated soon.\n During any sight test\, other health conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected.\n To maintain healthy eyes\, you should eat well\, avoid smoking and wear eye protection during bright sunlight. \nThe importance of eye sight towards the overall wellbeing\, independence and quality of life of an individual is too important to be ignored. This is why eye care charities\, health professionals and organisations across the UK are encouraged to join together during this week to promote the importance of eye health and need for regular tests. \n

SUMMARY:Seed Gathering Season 2020
DESCRIPTION:Since 1998\, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season\, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds\, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the 23rd September (the autumn equinox\, considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues until the 23rd October\, giving our volunteer Tree Wardens and member organisations plenty of days on which to hold events\, with lots of opportunities for everyone to hear and get inspired. \nAt a time when trees are also being ravaged by newly imported pests and diseases\, one important factor for the survival of some species is going to be diversity of stock and the way forward is going to be trees grown from local seed\, on home soil. Growing seeds from healthy UK trees is probably one of the best ways of taking out insurance that there will be strong saplings to plant where the gaps appear. \nGrowing trees from local seed can have great benefits in restocking areas with trees of local provenance. The concept of local provenance suggests that trees that are adapted to the local circumstances are more likely to flourish and so help restore\, conserve and beautify local urban and rural spaces. Collecting seeds and growing trees is also a great way to get children involved and start growing the next generation of tree enthusiasts.\nInterested in getting involved? You can find events on our Near You map. \nIf you’re interested in organising your own event in 2018\, read further to get some tips on how to grow trees from the seeds. To find out about the kind of activities which took place in your area last year\, for inspiration\, you can look at past events. You can also find more information in our publications Trees and How to Grow Themand The Good Seed Guide. Don’t forget to list your event on our website\, so that other people can come and join you! \nIf you want to get more people in your community involved\, or publicise seed gathering in a school or youth group\, use our downloadable poster. \n

SUMMARY:Recycle Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Date: 23-29 September 2019 \nlast years theme was: Recycling. We do. Because it matters and it was all about motivating people to care about plastics in a way they never have before.\nSustainability is firmly on the national agenda and the public is looking to organisations to help solve major environmental issues. That makes Recycle Week a greater opportunity than ever to change people’s recycling behaviours while gaining positive publicity and building your organisation’s reputation.\nNow in its 15th year\, Recycle Week is a celebration of recycling\, organised by WRAP under the Recycle Now brand. The aim of the week is to encourage the public to recycle more\, by demonstrating the benefits of recycling items from all around the home.\nThis year’s theme will be: Recycling. We do. Because it matters.’\nThe theme is designed to capture attention and put across simple but important messages about why recycling matters. Partners will have the opportunity to bust myths and demonstrate why recycling is beneficial – keeping it in use\, and out of our environment. Recycle Week 2019 is going to be our biggest yet! Recycle Now would love to have you involved.\nTake a look at our short film and get inspired to support Recycle Week 2019. If you are an organisation and are interested in getting involved\, please email: PartnerEnquiries@wrap.org.uk and we will get in touch with you to discuss how we can work together.\nYou can also download a one-page introduction from the WRAP Resource Library. \n

SUMMARY:National Punctuation Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Punctuation Day is an annual observance held on September 24. \nIt was established to promote the correct usage of punctuation in the English language. National Punctuation Day was created by Jeff Rubin in 2004 to emphasize the vital role of punctuation marks in written English. In the English language\, the simple differences in punctuation can produce the sharp differences in meaning\, that is why correct punctuation is so important. \nThere are two major styles of punctuation in the English language: British (logical punctuation) and American (traditional punctuation). They differ primarily in the way they handle quotation marks. The rest of the basic punctuation rules are essentially the same in all varieties of English.Sadly\, these rules are often ignored\, which may lead to misunderstanding. Punctuation is as important as any other aspect of the written language. That is why Rubin founded National Punctuation Day.National Punctuation Day is marked with special lessons at schools\, contests\, fundraisers\, and other appropriate events and activities. \nIn 2006\, Jeff Rubin and his wife\, Norma\, launched Punctuation Playtime.

SUMMARY:National Hunting and Fishing Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Hunting and Fishing Day is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Saturday in September. \nFirst proclaimed in 1972 by President Richard Nixon following a suggestion in 1960 by local Pennsylvania gun shop owner Ira Joffe\, the day was originally suggested as an official day of gratitude to outdoor sportsmen.

They stand for sustainable use of game and fish. American outdoor sportsmen have made a great contribution to protecting and improving vital habitat and saving many species from unregulated exploitation. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day focuses on raising public awareness about the importance of the wise use of natural resources\, promoting wildlife conversation and outdoor sports. On this day\, local\, state\, regional and national organizations hold fishing- and hunting-related events providing participants with an opportunity to experience traditional outdoor sports. \nNational Hunting and Fishing Day\, celebrated the fourth Saturday of every September\, remains the most effective grassroots efforts ever undertaken to promote the outdoor sports and conservation. \nWith events taking place across the country\, why not visit the dedicated website to find out whats going on in your area.  This is niot only a great opportunity to learn a new sport\, but also to become more involved with conservation and environmental issues. \n

SUMMARY:Ask a Stupid Question Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Ask a Stupid Question Day is an informal holiday that is celebrated in some American schools on September 28 (or on the last school day of September when September 28 falls on the weekend). The holiday dates back to the 1980s. \nIt was created by a group of teachers to encourage kids to ask more questions in the classroom. The problem is that kids often fear that their question is stupid and hold back because they are afraid of being ridiculed by classmates. But asking questions is an integral part of the educational process and an important source of feedback for teachers. \nAsk a Stupid Question Day is an opportunity for shy kids to speak up and ask any question they were afraid to ask\, no matter how dumb and irrelevant it may seem. This day aims not only to encourage students to be more inquisitive\, but to create a positive classroom environment where children are not afraid of being laughed at.Some schools outside the United States have started to celebrate Ask a Stupid Question Day\, too. \nIt is reported that some British and Indian schools have adopted it. \n

SUMMARY:ADHD Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a very common disorder which affects children and adults. It has for many years been recognised as a childhood issue that affects focus\, self-control and many other important skills. However\, it has only recently been recognised as an adult problem too. The cause is an imbalance in the brains anatomy and its wiring.\nHow did ADHD Awareness Month Get Started?\nAn ADHD Awareness Day was how it all started. A resolution was passed by the United States Senate that declared September 7th as National Attention Deficit Disorder Day in 2006. From there it grew into a full month by 2004. The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of ADHD\, by providing information that is reliable. The information is based on research and scientific evidence.\nThe Organisers\nA coalition of organisations are responsible for organising many different events around the world: the ADHD Organisation (ACO); the Attention Deficit Disorder Association (ADDA) and the Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHASDD).\nWhat You Can do to Take Part\nA number of different resources are available\, and the idea is to spread the word\, far and wide. If you want to help educate people then there are various resources available online. These include fact sheets and posters\, graphics and logos\, together with videos and recordings. In 2017\, there was a video contest judged by members of the public and professionals. \n

SUMMARY:Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Breast cancer  it’s a scary thought and all too many women assume that it won’t happen to them. Fact is though\, every ten minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK. So\, don’t be ignorant\, during breast cancer awareness month 2018 go for a medical checkup\, it might save your life. \nEarly signs of breast cancer can be a lump in a breast\, a painful breast or armpit\, or a discharge from the nipple. Even if none of these symptoms present themselves\, a doctor should be visited to be sure. A doctor will most likely perform a manual exam and send you for a mammogram. A mammogram examination is painless and only takes about ten minutes. \nIf any of these symptoms do present themselves there’s no need to panic. Plenty of time\, pain or a lump in a breast can be perfectly harmless. The pain can be a sign of a cyst or the lump can be benign. It’s always better to be sure though. \nIf the mammogram shows a lump\, your doctor will order a biopsy. This test will show if the lump is benign (harmless) or malignant (cancerous). If the lump is cancerous there’s still no reason to panic. Early detection is a life saver. By way of a simple operation the lump is removed after which the doctor will discuss further options with you. \nIf you’ve never had a mammogram\, make an appointment during breast cancer awareness month 2018. You can take a friend or family member with you and afterward you’ll have peace of mind. \n

We hope that this year’s ISLM will be a wonderful\, worldwide song of joy in and love for the school library. \nThe ISLM team facilitates a number of activities that you might like to participate in as part of the celebration and no doubt you will also have your own ideas for how best to make the most of ISLM in your libraries. No matter how big or small your school library please do consider getting involved. \nISLM is open to everybody\, whether you are a member of IASL or not\, so spread the word and start gearing up for a super time for ISLM this October! And remember\, you can tell everybody about your ISLM by sending information and photos to our What People are Doing for ISLM page. \n

SUMMARY:Lee National Denim Day in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:Lee National Denim Day is a one-day fund-raising event\, that’s annually observed on the first Friday in October- this year\, 2020\, October 2nd. \nThis event was started in 1996 to contribute and support breast cancer research and wellness program. \nLee National Denim Day started when several Lee Jeans employees realized that they were affected by breast cancer in one form or another. During the conversation they came with an idea to start some kind of event\, that could raise money to help all women suffering from breast cancer. Thus the event was shaped. \nThe idea of Lee National Denim Day is rather simple: employees are encouraged to wear jeans at work in exchange for a $5 dollar contribution to the fight against breast cancer. The response to the first event was astonishing! The original goal was to raise $1 million\, but the event brought $1.4 million. The campaign was revoked again in 1997 and now it’s annually observed on the first Friday in October. \nAll money raised from the event is donated to the American Cancer Society. \n

SUMMARY:World Teachers Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Also known as International Teachers Day\, World Teachers Day is held yearly on October 5. Since its set up in 1994\, the day celebrates the marking of the ” teaching in Freedom” in 1996. Last year the theme was “Engaging Teachers”. It is observed all over the world over since 1994 after the UNESCO Recommendation concerning Teachers. \nWhat is the purpose of the World Teachers Day?\nIts point is to centre around “acknowledging\, evaluating and enhancing the instructors of the world” and to give a chance to consider the issues identified with educators and the teaching process in general. \nLate year World Teachers’ Day honoured the twentieth commemoration of the 1997 UNESCO points concerning the Status of Higher-Education Teaching Personnel\, bringing the occasionally disregarded zone of showing staff at Higher Education foundations into the discussion about teachers. In 2018 the teachers day will be on a Friday\, and it is worth following. \nThe event has consistently been held on October 5 since 1994 and the goal is the same; to honours educators’ associations around the world. Its point is to prepare to bolster for instructors and to guarantee that the requirements of future ages will keep on being met by educators. \nAs indicated by UNESCO\, World Teachers’ Day speaks to a massive token of the mindfulness\, comprehension and thankfulness showed for the fundamental commitment that educators make in advancement by teaching. \nThe Education International (EI) organisation firmly trusts that World Teachers’ Day ought to be globally perceived and celebrated far and wide. EI likewise believes that the standards of the 1966/97 suggestions ought to be considered for execution in all countries. \nMore than 100 nations celebrate the World Teachers’ Day globally. The endeavours of Education International and its 401 associations have added to this broadly spread acknowledgement. Consistently\, EI dispatches an open mindfulness crusade to feature the commitments of the teaching calling. \n

It was initially observed on May 1 however in 1960\, it was moved to the first Monday of October and has been observed on this day every year since then. \nAlthough it is a national observance\, it does not have the status of a public holiday. \nOn Child Health Day\, many health organizations and health professionals across the country organize various activities and events aimed at informing parents of the importance of prenatal and newborn care\, regular doctor visits\, healthy eating and physical activity as well as the means of preventing and treating illnesses and injuries. This national observance is supported by many organizations such as the Health Resources and Services Administration and the Maternal and Child Health Library. \nThe health of our children should always be of primary importance to us\, therefore this important awareness campaign deserves our full support. Why not make use of the many tools available from the many agencies participating in the campaign to educate yourself and your children about good health practices? \n

SUMMARY:Backcare Awareness Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:Theme  Back pain in Older Adults \nBack pain is one of the major disabling health conditions among older adults aged 60 years and older. Many causes of lower back pain are age-related with physical and psychosocial changes. There is a distinct lack of awareness\, especially in older adults to the causes and effects of back pain and pain management. BackCare would like to provide information\, latest updates\, design new booklets and posters to shine a light on the subject during its BackCare Awareness week on the second week of October 2018. \nExisting evidence suggests that prevalence rates of severe and chronic low back pain increase with older age. As compared to working-age adults\, older adults are more likely to develop lower back pain like osteoporotic vertebral fractures\, tumors\, spinal infection\, and lumbar spinal stenosis \n

SUMMARY:World Post Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:A Day to Celebrate World Postal Systems\nEvery year\, on October 9th\, World Post Day is celebrated. You may not have heard of it\, but it has been in the calendar since 1969. It is held to mark the anniversary of the creation of the Universal Postal Union. The Union was established to create and maintain a postal system for the free flow of mail around the world.\nHow People Celebrate World Post Day\nThe day is celebrated around the world and by various international organisations. You might find high ranking officials making speeches or discussing the various achievements of a country’s postal system. Some countries issue special postage stamps to commemorate the day. In schools there could be special lessons for children. While postal workers could get extra training or receive rewards of recognition. UNESCO\, has organised a letter writing competition for many years\, with prizes being awarded on World Post Day.\nUniversal Postal Congress\nThe Universal Postal Congress helps increase awareness of global communication and trade and how these are linked with postal services. Originally known as the General Postal Union\, it changed its name to the Universal Postal Union in 1878. At this time it also became a specialised agency on the United Nations. A conference is held every year\, and it was during the 1969 Congress in Tokyo that World Post Day was declared. \nThe UPU works to increase awareness of this special day by designing posters and distributing them around the world. There are no particular themes used but the design being used for the period up to 2018 revolves around innovation\, integration and inclusion. The Union’s three objectives. \n

SUMMARY:World Mental Health Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the World Federation of Mental Health\, World Mental Health Day will be on October 10\, 2019. The goal is to help raise mental health awareness. Each of us can make a contribution to ensure that people dealing with problems concerning mental health can live better lives with dignity.\nThe Dilemma\nEvery year one adult in four\, along with one child in ten\, will have a mental health issue. These conditions can profoundly affect literally millions of lives\, affecting the capability of these individuals to make it through the day\, to sustain relationships\, and to maintain work. \nThe stigma attached to mental health causes a damaging\, albeit ill-informed\, attitude\, making it more difficult for those affected to pursue help. According to UK estimates\, only about one-fourth of those with mental health problems undergo ongoing treatment. By stark contrast\, the vast majority of those affected with these problems are faced with a variety of issues\, ranging from isolation to uncertainty on where to get help or information\, to relying on the informal support of family\, friends or colleagues.\nRaising Awareness\nThe best way to deal with this stigma is through facts and a better understanding of mental health problems. From identifying the causes\, pinpointing solutions\, and ultimately recognising that we are really dealing with medical issues. For your information\, we have updated our Fundamental Facts Guide. Please review and help spread the news about World Mental Health Day 2019. \n

Being proud of who you are and who you live will make you happier within yourself. Research has shown that if somebody KNOWS somebody who is part of the LGBT community\, they are much less likely to be homophobic. \n‘Coming out’ basically means expressing your sexuality to the world in order to end the stigma and this is exactly what NCDO is about. Get out of that closest and do it proudly on this special day of the year. \n

SUMMARY:World Egg Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Egg Day is celebrated on the second Friday in October. It was founded by the International Egg Commission (IEC) at a conference held in Vienna in 1996. The idea behind the day was raising awareness across the world\, of the important place eggs have in human nutrition. \nThe IEC was formed in 1964 in order to give a global presence to egg producers and to promote and popularize egg consumption as part of a balanced diet. \nMany countries now participate in World Egg day\, hosting a huge variety of events and activities. Including\, distributing free eggs; promotional and educational broadcasts across social media; school fun days; and cooking demonstrations and competitions. \nThe egg is an incredibly versatile ingredient\, for both sweet and savoury dishes. From the humble boiled egg to the master chef’s souffl√©\, the egg has a vital place as an ingredient in many recipes. There is no country in the world that doesn’t make extensive use of the egg in its‚traditional cuisine. \nNot only do eggs taste good\, they do you good too. Eggs are a source of low calorie\, high-quality protein. Besides the protein eggs also contain vitamins B and D\, and a good proportion of minerals that are important to health. They even come in a biodegradable protective container. Besides the positive nutritional benefits you gain from eating eggs\, they are relatively inexpensive. \nSee if there is an event taking place near you\, celebrate World Egg Day. \n

SUMMARY:National No Bra Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Although the origins of National No Bra Day are unclear  this event has been running since at least 2011\, with the message of raising awareness for the importance of breast cancer screening\, recognising the symptoms of breast cancer and regular self-examinations in the fight against breast cancer\, by encouraging women to leave their bras at home on October 13th. \nAlthough a controversial event in the eyes of some\, National No Bra Day further aims to raise awareness of breast cancer during October. Using the hashtag #nobraday on social media and encouraging women to go braless for a 24-hour period on the 13th October\, National No Bra Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of knowing how to carry out breast self-examinations\, being able to recognise the symptoms of breast cancer and encouraging women to partake in regular breast cancer screening. \nSo on October 13th\, remember to leave the lingerie at home\, or take part on social media to help raise awareness for breast cancer research\, \nIf you would like to help raise awareness of this event\, please use the hashtag #nobraday . \nFor more information on breast self-examination please visit this page. https://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/information-support/have-i-got-breast-cancer/signs-symptoms-breast-cancer/checking-your-breasts \nFor further information on breast cancer screening\, please visit this page: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/type/breast-cancer/about/screening/who-is-screened-for-breast-cancer \nThe original\, and somewhat controversial copy from the first No Bra Day can be found below.\nBoobies are Fantastic We all think so. And what better way to express the way we feel than to support a full day of boobie freedom?? \n Women are magnificent creatures\, and so are their breasts. Let us spend the day unleashing boobies from their boobie zoos. \nLadies\, free your breasts for 24 hours by removing those dreadful (but at times oh-so-helpful) bras. Our perkiness should not be hidden. It is time that the world see what we were blessed with. Your breasts might be colossal\, adorable\, miniature\, full\, jiggly\, fancy\, sensitive\, glistening\, bouncy\, smooth\, tender\, still blossoming\, rosy\, plump\, fun\, silky\, Jello-like\, fierce\, jolly\, nice\, naughty\, cuddly But the most used word to describe your breasts on October 13th should be FREE! \nGentlemen\, you can participate too! Your job will be to support us ladies by rocking something purple. It can be a purple tie\, purple boxers\, purple socks\, the NNBD button or t-shirt.. If it is purple or with the NNBD logo\, it supports us. (Your support means quite a lot to us) \nIf wearing a bra on this day is absolutely necessary\, you can definitely show your support by wearing something purple. \nYay for boobies! \nP.S. Ladies. Wearing a white t-shirt on this day is not only acceptable\, but encouraged! \n**Breast Cancer is something you should take seriously and be checked for.** \n

SUMMARY:Chocolate Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:So here it is fellow chocolate lovers\, the one we’ve all been waiting for\, Chocolate Week! If you’re anything like me I’m sure you’ve already got lots planned to celebrate Chocolate Week in style\, but just to show an extra bit of appreciation to the stuff\, here’s a few interesting facts you might not know about chocolate. \nHappy Chocolate Week! \n1. White Chocolate Is Not Chocolate. This is because it doesn’t contain cocoa solids or chocolate liquor\, meaning it isn’t chocolate in the strict sense. But it does contain parts of the cacao bean‚mainly cocoa butter.\n2. The Aztecs loved and valued the cacao bean so highly that they used it as currency during the height of their civilisation. \n3. A jewel thief made off with $28 million dollars of gems in 2007 because he was able to gain the trust of the guards working the bank in Antwerp\, Belgium\, by repeatedly offering them chocolate. \n4. The blood in Psycho’s famous shower scene was actually chocolate syrup. \n5. The scientific name for the tree that chocolate comes from\, Theobroma cacao\, means food of the gods. \n6. It’s believed that people who are allergic to chocolate are actually allergic to cockroaches\, as around eight insect parts are typically found in a bar of chocolate\, according to the Food and Drug Administration. \n7. At one point the Nazis plotted to assassinate Winston Churchill with an exploding bar of chocolate. \n8. There is a rare fourth kind of chocolate in addition to the classic milk\, dark\, and white varieties: blond chocolate. \n9. The film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was financed by Quaker Oatsto promote its new Wonka Bar candy. This is also why the film is called Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory instead of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory like the book it’s based on. \n10. The first chocolate bar was invented in 1847 by Joseph Fry. \n

SUMMARY:Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day (PAILRD) is an annual remembrance day that is observed in the United States and Canada on October 15. The day was established in 2002 in order to honor\, celebrate\, and remember babies who have passed away due to miscarriage\, stillbirth\, neonatal death\, and other causes of infant loss. \nThe movement was begun by Robyn Bear\, Lisa Brown\, and Tammy Novak who petitioned federal government to recognise the specific day on October 15th.  National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day was eventually passed in the House of Representatives on September 28\, 2006.  Prior to this\, President Ronald Reagan had designated the month of October as Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Month. \nPregnancy and Infant loss Remembrance Day serves to promote greater Awareness\, Remembrance and Support of the estimated 1 in 4 individuals and families whose lives are irrevocably altered by the death of their children\, during pregnancy\, at birth and in infancy.  The aim of the day is to; \n 	Raise awareness of the need for support\n 	Encourages people to talk\n 	It honors the babies who have passed. \nThe International Wave of Light invites baby loss families\, friends\, loved ones and supporting organizations from around the world to join in honor and remembrance of loved and longed for babies on October 15 at 7:00 pm in all time zones. \nLighting begins at the International Date Line\, in the first time zone\, remaining lit a period of one hour\, with the next time zone lighting respectively\, moving through each time zone as the Wave of Light circumnavigates the globe. The result is a continuous chain of light encompassing and spanning across the world and around the globe for a 24-hour period\, illuminating the night in love and light in honor and remembrance of our children. \nIf this is an issue that has affected your life\, if you are not already receiving support\, we advise you contact your local organisation who will assist you.  On this day there are many local events in which you can show your support. \n

SUMMARY:White Cane Safety Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:On October 15\, White Cane Safety Day is observed around the world. \nIn the United States\, it is a national observance\, which was first celebrated in 1964\, after the proclamation by President Lyndon B. Johnson. \nWhite Cane Safety Day celebrates the achievements of blind or visually impaired people. A white cane is an important mobility tool for such people as well as the symbol of their independence. Canes have been used by blind people for centuries\, but the white cane was introduced in the early 20th century. Canes were painted white to be more easily visible. \nIn the United States\, white canes were introduced and promoted by Lion Clubs International. There are different types of the white cane such as long cane (also known as Hoover cane)\, guide cane\, identification cane (symbol cane)\, support cane\, and kiddie cane. Not all of them are used as a mobility device. For instance\, the ID cane alerts others as to its bearer’s visual impairment but is of no help as a mobility tool.The white cane is one of the symbols of a blind person’s independence at it ensures their ability to come and go on their own. In 2011\, President Barak Obama also referred to White Cane Safety Day as Blind Americans Equality Day. \nOn White Cane Awareness Day\, and throughout Meet the Blind Month\, members of the National Federation of the Blind conduct activities in their local communities such as white cane walks\, film screenings\, and social events. To get involved and show support contact them directly for more information. \n

SUMMARY:Boss's Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Yes that’s right\, Boss’s Day is an actual thing!  Love them or loathe them there is a day dedicated to them!   Recognised annually on October 16th this campaign focuses on strengthening the bond between employers and their employees. \nCelebrated on October 16 in the United States\, Canada and some other countries\, National Boss’s Day was registered with the United States Chamber of Commerce in 1958 by Patricia Bays Haroski.  She chose the date for the celebration as the 16th October because that was her boss’s birthday.  her boss also happened to be her father so we reckon she was slightly biased!  LOL.  The day was officially proclaimed Boss’s Day in 1962 by the Governor of Illinois. \nThe day was established to demonstrate appreciation and recognition for all good bosses out there and the tough roles that they hold.  We recognise that not all of you will be as keen to celebrate such a day\, but if that is the case\, why not use it as an opportunity to build bridges or create a better relationship with your boss. \nAnd if you do have a great relationship with your boss\, Hallmark cards have been selling Boss’s Day cards since 1979\, so spread the love and show your appreciation!  You never know…they might let you go home early! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Apple Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Apple Day has proven itself to be an increasingly popular event. What started on 21st October 1990 as an attempt to spread environmental awareness and a celebration of autumn as a whole\, has quickly grown into a public holiday. The event’s name is partially owed to the fact that the day marked the return of apples to the public market\, from which they had been missing for 16 years. \nThe proceedings have certainly proven the benefit of local celebration\, along with the appreciation for apples people have\, and Apple Day deserves the top spot among the UK’s autumn holidays. It is organized by Common Ground\, as well as the Women’s Institute\, National Trust properties\, Wildlife Trusts\, and many other local restaurants\, clubs\, societies\, and educational institutes. \nNowadays\, Apple day stands to remind the public of the importance of orchards\, fields\, and nature to humanity. It has contributed to the development of farmers’ markets and encouraged people to look for more naturally sourced food. The healthcare industry\, as well as the Cancer Research Campaign\, look to the occasion as a way to nudge people into a healthier nutrition regime. \nNaturally\, there is a cornucopia of different sorts of the chosen fruit to sample on the spot\, but festival goers may be pressed for time – aside from the tastings\, one could see juicing\, baking\, grafting\, and other entertainment fitting the theme of the day\, for example reading poems about apples\, or apple-dedicated songs. \n

SUMMARY:Post Polio Syndrome Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The first PPS Day was held in Winchester\, the ancient capital of Britain in October 2013. The day proved such a success\, that while 22 October has been marked nationwide with PPS Day centred events every year since\, there has also been a flagship event each year\, held at the major political centres of the UK. \nOur achievements to date \nThe decision was taken to kick off PPS Day each year in the major seats of government in the UK. In 2014\, this saw PPS Day at the House of Commons with the support of Andy Love\, MP; at the Welsh Assembly in 2015 supported by Mark Isherwood\, AM and in 2016 PPS Day was at the seat of the Northern Ireland Assembly at Stormont supported by M√°irt√≠n √ì Muilleoir and Sammy Douglas. \nThese events have led to new members\, new supporters and tangible progress on raising awareness of PPS among key decision makers in the country and most importantly the medical profession\, with the 120\,000 people with PPS in the UK waiting up to six years for a diagnosis\, new relationships with the RCGP and others is set to make a big difference to the lives of those with PPS. \nLighting buildings for PPS awareness \nThe last two years have seen many iconic buildings and structures agree to being illuminated in The British Polio Fellowship’s colours on the 20 October\, which has seen PPS Day move literally into the spotlight more than ever. \nTaking part in 2016 were the Millennium Bridge in Gateshead\, the Emirates Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth\, Caernarfon Castle\, Belfast Castle and many\, many more. \nIn 2017\, more buildings than ever will be illuminated in the charity’s colours to mark PPS Day. \nGet involved \nThere are many ways individuals\, groups or business can get involved with PPS Day. To discuss the options or if you have any suggestions\, contact Kripen Dhrona\, The British Polio Fellowship Marketing and Campaigns Manager on 01923 281 091. \n

SUMMARY:Navy Day in the United States 2020
DESCRIPTION:Although Navy Day in the United States has not been officially observed since 1949\, October 27 is still widely celebrated as the holiday of the United States Navy. \nThe first Navy Day was held in 1922 by the Navy League of the United States. They chose the date of October 27 because it was the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt\, who had a great interest in naval affairs and even served as an Assistant Secretary of the Navy. \nIn 1945\, Navy Day was celebrated with special pomp and pageantry. In 1949\, the U.S. Department of Defense was created and its secretary Louis A. Johnson directed that the United States Navy’s participation would occur on Armed Forces Day celebrated on the third Saturday of May. However\, the Navy League continued to organize events as before because as a civilian organization  it was not affected by the directive.  In the 1970\, it was suggested that October 13 is defined as the new date of Navy Day as the Continental Navy was formed on October 13\, 1775. \nThe date was officially changed\, but October 27 is still generally celebrated. \n

SUMMARY:National Cat Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:So what is it? Are you a cat person or dog person? That’s probably one of the most controversial questions you can ask someone. That probably explains why cats have an entire day all to themselves!\nOrigins\nNational Cat Day was created in 2005 by Colleen Paige in an effort to raise awareness of the number of suffering cats that need care and homes. It also encourages pet owners to not take their cats for granted and shower them with affection and love! This wonderful day is held on October 29th\nEfforts\nIf you’re a huge cat lover then you definitely know about this day and what’s more you’ll know what the day stands for: \n 	Cats should be part of a household forever and cared for properly\n 	Cats should be adopted\, not shopped\n 	Cats should be ‘done’ to improve their health\n 	Cats should only be adopted if you can care for him/her properly \nWhat Can I do?\nIf you’re a big cat lover (and we assume you are as you’re reading this article) then you’ll want to join in on this day. There are plenty of things you can do from spoiling your cat with a new toy and fuss to giving her delicious food she’ll appreciate. You can even donate to the local animal shelter. \n

SUMMARY:Halloween 2020
DESCRIPTION:Halloween All Hallows’ Eve All Saint’s Eve\nAll of these are names for one of the most famous international holidays to ever spread across Western society. If not enjoyed by all\, Halloween is definitely acknowledged by everyone as the celebration of monsters\, gruel and dressing up.\nHow to Celebrate\nIf you’re looking for a dummy’s crash course on Halloween party tips then you’ve come to the right place! Here are some good pointers: \n 	Host a Costume Party with prizes for the best and worst dressed\n 	Watch the scariest movies around (if age appropriate)\n 	Serve blood-red punch and eyeball cupcakes\n 	If you’re happy to then hand out candy for trick-or-treaters\n 	Carve a pumpkin!\n 	Decorate your house like a mausoleum\n 	Visit a ‘haunted’ spot \nWhy Do We Do It?\nThough Halloween is fun\, isn’t it a bit random? As with many holidays alive in Western culture\, its roots probably lay in Pagan celebrations and beliefs. Part of the holiday is meant to remember the dead\, much like Mexico’s Day of the Dead.\nHalloweenin’ Right\nRemember\, holidays aren’t much use to anyone if it isn’t fun for everyone. Halloween is a night for wails and cries to come only from the mummies and ghosts so be horrifying but be nice! \n

SUMMARY:National Bug Busting Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The aim on national Bug Busting Days is to find all the head lice and zap them in one fell swoop.  This stops them from circulating endlessly. \nOften a child who has caught head lice in the last month will show no obvious symptoms\, but they are still contagious.  In most cases there will be just 10 or so lice on the head\, and parents will not discover them unless they use a Bug Buster Kit.  This contains the unique Bug Buster combs\, expressly designed and scientifically tested for accurate louse detection\, and full\, easy-to-follow instructions on using them with ordinary shampoo and conditioner.  Remember it is always necessary to check again the Bug Busting way after treatment because none is guaranteed to kill all head lice and their eggs. \nYou can also check out this NHS Choices website entry on head lice.  It includes a clear explanation of how head lice are caught and what environmental precautions are relevant to control. \nThe charity Community Hygiene Concern produces Bug Busting materials for schools and Bug Buster Kits for families on a not-for-profit basis. \nIf you require any further information you can: \n 	Ring the Bug Buster Help Line on 01908 561928\n 	Email bugbusters2k@yahoo.co.uk or\n 	Visit the official National Bug Busting Day website \nSchools and nurseries up and down the country introduce parents to Bug Busting and louse control becomes fun\, without tears\, based on sound science. \nBug Busting Days are organised by the charity Community Hygiene Concern in partnership with the Department of Health. \nBug Busting Days take place on 31 January\, 15 June and 31 October. \n

SUMMARY:Mouth Cancer Action Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:Mouth Cancer Action Month is a charity campaign which aims to raise awareness of mouth cancer and make a difference by saving thousands of lives through early detection and prevention. \nThroughout November\, we aim to raise awareness to get more mouth cancers diagnosed at an early stage. By increasing education of the risk factors and signs and symptoms to encourage everyone to discuss these with their dental professional.\nThe importance of Mouth Cancer Action Month\nIn the UK\, more than 7\,800 people were diagnosed with mouth cancer last year and globally there are in excess of 300\,000 new cases every year. \nThe number of people being diagnosed with mouth cancer has grown by around a third in the last decade and remains one of very few cancers which are predicted to increase further in the coming years. \nAlthough there are risk factors heavily linked to the disease\, mouth cancer can affect anyone  that’s why it’s so important that we all know what to look out for. The campaign is all about taking action and promoting the messages: \n 	Don’t leave a mouth ulcer unattended for more than three weeks. \n 	Don’t ignore any unusual lumps or swellings or red and white patches in your mouth. \n 	Early detection could save your life. If you notice any changes in your mouth speak to a dentist or doctor immediately. \nMouth Cancer Action Month 2019\nThis year\, we want everyone to get involved\, whether you’re on your own or as part of a team\, we have numerous ways you can be part of the campaign and make a real difference. \nMouth Cancer Action Month remains a focal point for everybody across the country to act and help spread awareness of the disease. Your support for the campaign continues to grow year-on-year\, as does our passion to reduce the number of lives effected by mouth cancer.\nA big thank you\nWe would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who continue to help us raise awareness of mouth cancer  your participation\, no matter how big or small\, is always warmly received and makes a huge difference to the campaign’s success. \nOur thanks also to our sponsor\, Simplyhealth Professionals and supporter Dentists‚Provident\, whose contributions ensure we are able to reach the maximum number of people with our messages of education\, prevention and early detection.\nCampaign events and projects\nSince we ran the campaign 14 years ago\, it has helped facilitate thousands of events and projects\, and continues to act as the spearhead campaign for providing organised grassroots activities such as oral health checks and free mouth cancer examinations\, talks\, sponsored events\, roadshows\, displays\, open sessions  all which have the ultimate goal of engaging people in the importance of being aware of mouth cancer. \nThis is just a small sample of what we have done for Mouth Cancer Action Month over the years: \n 	Directly invested ¬£1.5 million into promoting mouth cancer awareness. \n 	Supported more than 12\,000 healthcare organisations taking part in the campaign and provided thousands with patient-facing materials and resources to promote mouth cancer awareness. \n 	Distributed in excess of 500\,000 mouth cancer posters for displays in waiting rooms and practices\, with information about risk factors\, early warning signs and symptoms of mouth cancer. \n 	Facilitated around 1\,500 specialised mouth cancer events\, which specifically aimed to visually examine those patients at risk of mouth cancer. \n 	Supplied dental practices and hospitals with 5\,000 Blue Ribbon Appeal Kits\, to be displayed in dental practice waiting rooms. More than 250\,000 people now wear our Blue Ribbon Badge to actively show their support for Mouth Cancer Action Month. \n 	Increased the profile of mouth cancer in the media agenda. More than 6\,000 articles have been published\, reaching more than 500 million people. \n 	As a charity looking to make a positive impact in the public arena\, we have been able to influence policy regarding smoking\, alcohol\, diet and gender-neutral HPV vaccinations. \n

SUMMARY:World Vegan Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Every year on 1st November\, vegans around the world celebrate and champion for their vegan lifestyle. According to many acclaimed vegans\, the lifestyle is beneficial for the health of the human beings\, not to mention that it fosters environmental protection as well as the lives of animals. \nThe commemoration of this event began in 1994 by a UK celebrity\, Louise Wallis\, who was at the time the chair of The Vegan Society\, as they celebrated its 50th birthday\, the coinage of the terms vegan and veganism\, as well as the inception of The Vegan Society. \nNot wanting the event to coincide with others like Day of the Dead and Halloween\, and because of the doubts as to the exact date in November 1944 when the society was started\, Wallis decided to go with the first day of November. \nAround the globe\, World Vegan Day is commemorated through exhibitions\, seminars\, public debates\, workshops among others. The day presents a perfect opportunity for anyone looking to adopt the vegan lifestyle. During the event\, they can learn\, interact and maybe at the end of it; they will decide to become vegans. \nThe day also is a perfect chance for individuals to advocate the lifestyle\, share ideas and sensitize their friends on its importance as well as how they feel. \nSome of the prominent celebrities who usually commemorate the event include Ellen DeGeneres\, Ariana Grande\, Stevie Wonder\, Peter Dinklage\, Bellamy Young\, James Cameron\, Pamela Anderson among others. \nThere is no specific venue for the celebration of the event. It can be held anywhere. This year’s World Vegan Day will be on Thursday\, 1st November 2018. \n

SUMMARY:National Diabetes Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:November is National Diabetes Month\, an opportunity for local and regional advocates to team up and work with partners across the United States to raise awareness of the illness. \nThe campaign hopes to raise awareness of symptoms\, promote healthy living and ensure people are aware of risk factors. \nOne in ten Americans have diabetes. Another 84 million are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However there are small things that those at risk can do to minimise the risk of suffering with type 2. \nThe national cost of diabetes to the US is $245billion\, and while for many this is a condition that is unavoidable\, if more people acted upon medical advice and were aware of the risk factors\, this cost could be reduced. \nAs is typical of these campaigns\, every years hosts a different focus area. The theme for 2018 focused on health following gestational diabetes. The themes for 2019 & 2020 are not yet confirmed but come back for more information! \n

SUMMARY:National Brush Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Brush Day is held in the United States on November 1. This observance focuses on raising awareness about the importance of children’s oral health. \nNational Brush Day was first observed in 2013 and has continued to grow and gather support from dental professionals\, parents and schools.   The date of November 1 was chosen because it is the day after Halloween and we all know just how many sweet treats kids consume on that holiday!  And with frequent consumption of sugary foods being the number one cause of tooth decay and one of the most common chronic childhood diseases in the U.S. it is only right that we encourage exceptional oral hygiene and support National Brush Day! \nNational Brush Day began as an extension of the Kid’s Healthy Mouths PSA campaign launched by the Partnership for Healthy Mouths\, Health Lives and the Ad Council. The campaign is designed to encourage parents to make sure their children brush their teeth for at least two minutes\, two times a day. \nThough this task may seem easy enough\, as we are sure those of you who have kids will be very aware\, many kids refuse to brush their teeth even for two minutes because they get bored quickly and do not realise the damage that can take place. To help parents\, the PSA has cleverly provided funny two-minute videos that can distract children while brushing. \nIt is important to keep in mind that good tooth-brushing habits help prevent severe oral pain and many tooth disorders as well as significantly improve children’s dental health. So get behind this initiative and lets try educate our kids a little bit more! \n

SUMMARY:Guy Fawkes Night 2020 (Bonfire Night)
DESCRIPTION:Guy Fawkes Night\, also known as Guy Fawkes Day\, Bonfire Night and Firework Night\, is an annual commemoration observed on 5 November\, primarily in Great Britain. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605\, when Guy Fawkes\, a member of the Gunpowder Plot\, was arrested while guarding explosivesthe plotters had placed beneath the House of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survived the attempt on his life\, people lit bonfires around London\, and months later the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Actenforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot’s failure. \nWithin a few decades Gunpowder Treason Day\, as it was known\, became the predominant English state commemoration\, but as it carried strong Protestant religious overtones it also became a focus for anti-Catholic sentiment. Puritans delivered sermons regarding the perceived dangers of popery\, while during increasingly raucous celebrations common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figures\, such as the pope. Towards the end of the 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually became known as Guy Fawkes Day. Towns such as Lewes and Guildford were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent class-based confrontations\, fostering traditions those towns celebrate still\, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attitudes resulted in the toning down of much of the day’s anti-Catholic rhetoric\, and the Observance of 5th November Act was repealed in 1859. Eventually the violence was dealt with\, and by the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable social commemoration\, although lacking much of its original focus. The present-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at large organised events\, centred on a bonfire and extravagant firework displays. \n

SUMMARY:National Stress Awareness Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:What is National Stress Awareness Day?\nHeld on Wednesday November 6th. National Stress Awareness Day is run by the International Stress Management Association (ISMA). Their web page on National Stress Awareness Day is available here for more information: https://isma.org.uk/national-stress-awareness-day \nWhat is stress and why is it important? Stress is a response to demands on the body and life\, a response to crisis and fears. If stress gets overwhelming it can cause other mental health problems\, emotional exhaustion and physical illness and can impact on work\, relationships\, families\, and every aspect of life. When someone is suffering from negative or overwhelming stress\, they may not act or react normally in some situations\, for example driving or in an argument\, with disastrous consequences. \nThe aim of the day is to raise awareness\, publicity and profile of stress and its impact\, and reduce stigma while promoting the importance of well-being and stress reduction for individuals and organizations. \nOrganizations are invited to run their own events for the day. \nNational Stress Awareness Day will include a comprehensive programme of events\, including international online seminars\, summits\, interactive chats\,and social media hashtagged events\, as well as venue events. There will be access to expert advice both online and at events. \n

SUMMARY:National Nacho Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:As if we need an excuse to eat more of this culinary delight! November 6th is (one of our favourites) National Nacho Day! \nIts hard to imagine a world without Nachos but prior to 1943 the crunchy and tasty snacks were non existent. Thanks to a late night visit to a restaurant in a Mexican border town from a group of soldiers wives and an absent chef\, a worker created the dish by cutting up pieces of tortilla and serving them with cheese- and Nachos Especiales were born! \nPopularity of the dish grew locally\, and eventually the creator established his own restaurant serving different versions of the snack. The dish became a firm favourite in the 1970’s and 1980’s when they began being served at the Arlington Stadium\, then home to the Texas Rangers. And the rest is history! \nNacho creator Ignacio Anaya died in 1975\, and a plaque was installed in the town where he had first served them with International Day of the Nacho planned for October 21st. National Nacho Day takes place in the USA on November 6th. \nSo go on\, treat yourself. Find some classic recipes on the internet and post photos on social media using #NationalNachosDay \n  \n

SUMMARY:International Stout Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:#StoutDay will be celebrated on November 7th.  Just like wine vineyards tell the story of the people\, the weather\, the land and its history\, beer\, too\, tells a story of the land\, of the people and the brewers. Having a day dedicated to a beer style really has just accelerated the excitement in the craft brew circles as more learn about the intrigue regarding its history and the variety that the craft beer industry has to offer. \nThe first stouts were produced in the 1730s. The Russian Imperial Stout was inspired by brewers back in the 1800’s to win over the Russian Czar. “Imperial porter” came before “imperial stout” and the earliest noted use of “Imperial” to describe a beer comes from the Caledonian Mercury of February 1821\, when a coffeehouse in Edinburgh was advertising “Edinburgh Ales\, London Double Brown Stout and Imperial Porter\, well worth the attention of Families”. \nGuinness had been brewing porters since about 1780 and is famous for their Dry or Irish Stout. Oatmeal stout beer is one of the more sweeter and smoother of the stouts. And for proof that we live in an evolving society\, there’s Oyster Stout and Chocolate Stout. The first known use of oysters as part of the brewing process of stout was in 1929 in New Zealand. \nFast forward to the modern day craft beer revolution‚and you’ll find an amazing array of stouts\, perfect not only for a chilly day\, but for pairing with gourmet meals. \nSo\, experiment with this glorious seasonal beer style and celebrate at your local watering hole\, brewery or restaurant. \nIt’s about continuing to celebrate the craft beer revolution\, relishing in this historic beer style\, sharing your photos\, tasting notes and events – with the world. International Stout Day has quickly become a valued day of delicious celebration\, saluting the recognizable rich and complex style and the brewers that craft it for the masses. \nAnd how can you not appreciate a mandated holiday advising to imbibe some of strongest and most flavorful beers in the world? \nCheers! \n

SUMMARY:National Bison Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Bison Day in the United States is celebrated on the first Saturday of November every year. It is dedicated to the historical\, cultural\, ecological and economic contribution of the American bison to the United States. The American bison\, also known as the American buffalo\, is a North American species of bison. Once widely spread throughout North America\, they became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century. Bison were never domesticated by Native Americans\, but today they are viewed as both a type of cattle and wild animals in the United States\, Canada and Mexico.National Bison Day was introduced in 2012. It is actively supported by Native Americans\, conservationists\, bison producers\, educators\, and other people who care about the fate of these large mammals. In 2016\, the celebration of National Bison Day entered a new stage\, as President Barack Obama signed the National Bison Legacy Act into law\, officially making the American buffalo the national mammal of the USA. National Bison Day is marked with various events celebrating the bison. Their main goal is to emphasize the importance of the American bison as one of the symbols of the United States\, as well as the contribution of the species to maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem sustainability. \n

SUMMARY:World Freedom Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Freedom Day is an annual observance in the United States first declared in 2001 by President George W. Bush. \nIt is celebrated on November 9\, which marks the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The Berlin Wall was a barrier that was erected in Berlin in 1961 during the Cold War. It divided the city into two parts. East Berlin was de facto capital of East Germany (German Democratic Republic). It was a Soviet-occupied sector of Berlin. West Berlin was a free city politically closely affiliated with West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany). \nWest Berlin was an Allied-occupied territory surrounded by East Germany.The wall prevented immigration of East Berliners to West Berlin and Western Europe in general. Between 1961 to 1989\, around 5\,000 people successfully escaped over the Berlin Wall. Estimated number of people who died trying to escape has been disputed. The official death toll is 136 deaths. \nOn November 9\, 1989 the East German government announced that East Germans could visit West Berlin and West Germany. Thus the fall of the wall began. People started demolishing the wall\, chipping away its parts as souvenirs.World Freedom Day is commemorated mainly by conservative youth groups and activists who perceive it as celebration of the victory over communism. \n

SUMMARY:United States Marine Corps Birthday 2020
DESCRIPTION:The United States Marine Corps Birthday is an annual celebration observed on November 10. The US Marine Corps are one of the four armed service branches in the US Department of Defense. The Marines are responsible for conducting expeditionary and amphibious operations with the United States Navy as well as the Army and Air Force \nOn this day\, a traditional ball and cake-cutting ceremony is held. \nThe history around the day of celebration is based upon the events surrounding the establishment of the original Marine Corps. On November 10 1775 the Second Continental Congress issued the decree that established the Continental Marines. However\, the Continental Marines were disestablished when the American Revolutionary War ended in 1783. \nThe Marine Corps was re-established by President John Adams on July 11 1798. The official birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps was originally celebrated on July 11 with little pageantry or pomp. In 1921\, it was suggested that the original birthday of November 10 should be declared the official holiday of the Marine Corps. The first formal ball was held on November 10\, 1925. Prior to 1952\, celebrations took varied forms. They included dances\, musical performances\, sporting events\, and mock battles. In 1952\, the celebrations were formalized and standardized. The cake cutting ceremony has been performed since 1956. Traditionally\, the first slice of cake is handed to the oldest Marine present\, who passes it to the youngest Marine present. The celebration often includes readings\, a banquet\, dancing\, a pageant of uniforms\, and a unit run. \n

SUMMARY:Veterans Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Observed annually on November the 11th this day is recognized across the world and is of significant importance to many. Also known as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day in recognition of the end of World War 1\, in the USA the day is used to celebrate military veterans who are or who have served in the Armed Forces. \nArmistice Day was first recognized the year after the end of World Way 1 in 1919 by Woodrow Wilson and the name changed to Veterans Day after World War II and the Korean War. The day was filled with Parades\, memorials and most importantly a pause in business\, schools and daily life at 11am as a mark of respect and moment of reflection. \nIn 1938\, following the lead of many states in the US\, an Act approved in law made 11th November a Federal holiday ‘dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as Armistice Day’. In 1954 the name was changed to Veterans Day following the lobbying of congress. At one point the date was changed to October\, however most people ignored this and continued to celebrate Veterans on November 11th and therefore subsequently the date was changed back to November 11th. \nVeterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day -Veterans Day celebrates all those present and past who have served in the Armed Forces with emphasis on thanking those who are still with us\, whereas Memorial Day recognises those who died in service or as a result of their injuries in conflicts. \nA long standing recognized tradition within the US is the laying of a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier in Arlington National Cemetery. \nThere are many ways to get involved and say thank you to Veterans. Many involve raising funds\, parades\, community and church services. Emphasis is placed more recently on engaging with ex servicemen and women to ensure they have employment\, a home and any support they need. There are many programs across the country to become involved with and this seems to us to be the most perfect way to show support and gratitude. \n“Better than honor and glory\, and History’s iron pen\,\nWas the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.” Richard Watson Gilder \n

Whether it’s their speech\, their ability to eat and drink\, or even just the ability to breathe properly\, there is no getting away from it. \nFor this year’s Mouth Cancer Action Month\, we’re asking everyone to show their support by making Wednesday 13 November Blue Wednesday’. \nYou can buy a blue ribbon badge\, pick out something blue to wear or don on a bright blue lipstick. Help us to raise awareness of mouth cancer by showing your support.\nHow to take part in Blue Wednesday\nFind something blue\nChances are you will have something blue in your wardrobe\, but we’d like you to be more creative than that! Why not find something from a charity shop that raises money for cancer? You will be helping two great causes that way! To complete the look visit our web shop to get your hands on some blue lipstick too  even the boys  as it’s all for a good cause. \nBlue wigs\, face and body paint and other decorations are also really popular on Blue Wednesday\, as are our blue ribbon badges.

SUMMARY:World Diabetes Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Diabetes Day falls on Wednesday 14th November. The purpose of this one day is to raise awareness of a condition that millions of people all around the world live with every day. \nEssentially\, diabetes is about the body’s ability (or lack of it) to produce the required amount of a hormone called insulin to control glucose levels in the blood. There are broadly two types of diabetes: Type 1 requires daily administration of artificial insulin by means of injection or insulin pump. Type 2 is more generally managed by a combination of dietary control and medication in the form of tablets. \nIt’s very important that people with diabetes maintain good control of their condition to help reduce and avoid long term complications\, and there have been huge advances in this area over recent years. However\, it is vitally important that development work continues\, to ensure people with the condition can live as normal a life as possible. \nThe International Diabetes Federation (IDF) will be involved in coordinating activities on the day\, so keep an eye out for an event near you! Any help or support you can give this cause will be greatly appreciated by everyone concerned. Make a note – 14th November is World Diabetes Day! \n

SUMMARY:The Great American Smokeout 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Great American Smokeout is an annual event sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS). It is held on the third Thursday of November. This social engineering event focuses on encouraging Americans to quit tobacco smoking. People are challenged to stop smoking for at least 24 hours assuming that their decision not to smoke will last longer\, hopefully forever. Today\, more than 43 million people in the United States smoke cigarettes\, that is about 1 in 5 adults.The Great American Smokeout evolved from a number of smaller-scale events that took place in the 1970s. The first Great American Smokeout occurred in California on November 18\, 1976. According to the California division of the ACS\, nearly 1 million people stopped smoking cigarettes that day. In 1977\, the event was taken nationwide.Different people quit smoking in different ways. There are those who quit abruptly and completely and those who cut back gradually. Some people need substitutions and distractions to suppress cravings and others need special medicines. No matter which approach you choose\, the Great American Smokeout is the perfect occasion to make the first step. Of course\, if you have already decided to quite smoking\, you don’t have to wait till November. \n

SUMMARY:National HIV Testing Week 2020
DESCRIPTION:About National HIV Testing Week\nNational HIV Testing Week (NHTW) is our flagship annual event which seeks to promote regular testing among key populations. It aims to reduce the numbers of undiagnosed people and those diagnosed late. It is held every November ahead of World AIDS Day. \nIn the UK\, the combination prevention approach to HIV has led to a substantial decline in HIV diagnoses for the first time. \nHowever\, the work must not stop here. There was a small increase in late diagnoses between 2015 (39%) and 2017 (43%)\, which means testing is still as important as ever. \nNHTW 2018 utilised the successful Give HIV the finger‚creative\, building on the existing recognition of the previous year’s campaign. The key messages promoted the ease\, convenience and accessibility of HIV testing. Targeted social media advertising and outdoor promotion in high prevalence areas helped to promote the campaign. In addition\, more than 1\,300 press articles were generated. \nWe made free resources available to anyone working in HIV prevention in England which bolstered local activity and advertised additional HIV testing events or signposted people to services. \nStakeholders were asked to evaluate the campaign following the event: \n 	98% of respondents will support NHTW 2019\n 	98% agree NHTW is a valuable addition to their HIV prevention efforts\n 	70% agree NHTW increased their organisation’s capacity to impact their community/clients\n 	56% provided extra HIV testing opportunities for their communities. \nGetting involved\nWe encourage stakeholders to do whatever is best for their local area and community including: \n 	Ordering NHTW branded posters and resources for their services.\n 	Organising additional local testing events in clinic and as part of outreach in community settings.\n 	Registering testing events scheduled during the month of November through our online test finder‚tool. These events are then promoted to people at high risk via online promotion of the It Starts With Me where to test‚tool. \n

SUMMARY:World Toilet Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Were you aware of the fact that around 1 out of every 3 people goes without a toilet? It might sound like a strange fact; however\, it is a serious problem. \nThat’s why on November 19\, people like WaterAid and UnWater are trying their very best to change this situation and aim to have a clean\, safe and private toilet to everyone one\, everywhere by 2030.\nHow will this be achieved?\nWell\, a topic like this can be quite difficult to push through to the world\, much like a big number two! That’s why humour and comedy are being used to break down the awkwardness and get the movement flowing! \nIf you are a school student in the UK\, you are encouraged to start writing your own riddles\, puns\, jokes or even comedy shows and sketches to get the word out there about World Toilet Day. \nOnce you’ve given that a go\, try raising the issue with one of your local MPs\, get them involved with the campaign by tweeting your own well written jokes with hashtags #WorldToiletDay and #ItsNoJoke. \nIf you’re a teacher\, you can always find a lesson plan and some resources to support and give a number 1 lesson on taps and toilets. \nIn all seriousness\, if we can reduce human waste by giving everyone access to clean toilets\, we can then also make the world a better place. \nLet’s go help those in need with World Toilet Day. \n

SUMMARY:Transgender Day of Rembrance 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Transgender Day of Remembrance or International Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day that is held annually on the 20th November to memorialise those individuals who have been murdered as a result of transphobia.  It also aims to draw attention to the violence that is carried out towards many in the transgender community. \nThe Transgender Day of Remembrance was established in 1999 when transgender advocate Gwendolyn Anne Smith arranged a vigil as a memorial to transgender woman Rita Hester killed in 1998.  Initially a small local event it has grown to be an internationally recognised annual event\, with events held in 185 cities across 20 countries. \nNow supported and promoted by GLAAD\, the awareness campaign receives much media coverage and support from transgender advocates.  With candlelit vigils held where the names of those who have lost their lives are read out\, and marches taking place in communities across the world along with many other events\, there is plenty to get involved with.  This is an opportunity to remember those we have lost in such horrific circumstances\, come together to overcome divisions in our community\, heal and grieve with other people affected by this terrible issue and attempt to find a way to educate those who are transphobic. \nVisit the GLAAD website where there is ideas for arranging your own awareness event\, along with many more statistics\, information and information about Transgender Awareness Week. \n

SUMMARY:National Tortilla Chips Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:February 24 is National Tortilla Chips Day. It’s a good opportunity to celebrate tortilla chips\, that go well with everything. By the way\, we mean everything. \nTortilla chips in Mexico are called tostados\, that stands for toasted chips. Outside of the North America tortilla chips are called corn chips. \nA tortilla is an unleavened flatbread or pancake made either of corn or wheat flour\, water\, vegetable shortening and a little salt. They are the plate\, envelope or folder surrounding an array of delicious fillings. \nThe word tortilla comes from the Spanish word torta which means round cake. According to Mayan legend\, tortillas were invented by a peasant for his hungry king in ancient times. Corn tortillas date back around 10\,000 years before Christ and were made of native corn with dried kernel. When the Spanish brought wheat to the New World\, flour tortillas were created. \nAlthough around a long\, long time\, we have to credit Rebecca Webb Carranza as the inventor of mass produced tortilla chips. She and her husband owned the El Zarape Tortilla Factory in Los Angeles and were among the first to automate the produce of tortillas in 1940s. The machine that was producing tortillas often misshapen the product. Instead of throwing away these tortillas Rebecca decided to cut them into triangles and fry. She sold them for a dime a bag. \nBelieve it or not\, but tortilla chips became a nationwide sensation and they were served alongside chili\, salsa\, guacamole and a variety of different appetizers. We still do the same today. \nGrab a bag of your favorite tortilla chips and serve them with any dipping or make nachos to celebrate National Tortilla Chips Day with your family or friends. \n

SUMMARY:16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence 2020
DESCRIPTION:16 DAYS OF ACTION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE\n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence is aimed at businesses to support them to take action against domestic abuse and violence.  Employers have a legal obligation to assess dynamic risk and support the health and safety and wellness of their employees. Companies can do more to aid their employees who endure domestic violence\, to train those who witness it\, and to protect staff as a whole\, with the goal of securing safety and mitigating financial loss. Spanning across 16 days from 25th November to 10th December\, a theme will be identified each day to explore the various forms of domestic violence. In doing so\, the workplace will be better equipped to acknowledge the signs that indicate it may be going on.\nHISTORY\n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence stems from the original movement\, 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence. The movement was first begun at the Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991\, an event sponsored by the Centre for Women’s Global Leadership. \nSince 1991\, 5\,167 groups in 187 countries have contributed to promoting and supporting these 16 Days. Large organisations such as the world-renowned Amnesty International and World Health Organisation support and celebrate the 16 Days\, as well as far more local\, grassroots projects. \nEach organisation approaches the 16 Days differently\, some\, such as the World Health Organisation\, promote 16 facts regarding domestic violence in order to educate the public on an under-reported and misunderstood violation of human rights. \nSchools around the world have dedicated time and manpower to this movement as well\, as demonstrated by institutions such as Rutgers\, who have been extremely active and outspoken\, generating their own toolkit on how to approach domestic violence\, and much more. \nPublic sector work by the above organisations\, and hundreds of others are exemplary and indicate that people are dedicated to making the general public understand the impact of domestic violence on society\, through blogging\, community projects\, tweeting\, and putting on exhibitions. \n16 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence has taken the model of the original movement\, and tailored it to businesses and has centred on the impact that domestic violence has on the workplace. The movement was not initiated by the Corporate Alliance\, rather it has built upon over two decades of fantastic work to focus on the workplace\, and eradicating the impact of abuse on business. \n

SUMMARY:Thanksgiving 2020
DESCRIPTION:Thanksgiving 2018 is observed on November 28th and we all know what it is right? \nJust in case you don’t\, here is some information about it! \nThanksgiving in the USA can be dated back as far as 1621 ( some will say earlier) when a group of pilgrims shared a feast with Native Americans by way of celebrating what had been a fruitful harvest.  The previous years harvest had been a disaster with many of the pilgrims starving to death.  The members of the Native American tribe kindly demonstrated to the remaining pilgrims how to tend the land to ensure crops would grow\, catch fish and generally become self sufficient.  From this\, the first Thanksgiving was born. \nWith roots in religious and cultural traditions\, the day is also classed as a secular occasion and is an opportunity to give thanks for what you have.  It is usually seen as the start of the festive season with celebrations often grand and prolonged\, with many celebrating Thanksgiving more so than Christmas.    Many take the opportunity to get together with friends and family with many family and historical traditions observed; from parades\, turkeys cooked\, turkeys pardoned\, pumpkin pie and a days or two holiday- whats not to love? \nHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours! \n

SUMMARY:Black Friday 2020
DESCRIPTION:Black Friday is the day following Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday of November). Since 1952\, it has been regarded as the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.\, and most major retailers open very early (and more recently during overnight hours) and offer promotional sales. \nOver the past few years Black Friday has become a household shopping event in the UK\, consistently out-performing Boxing Day as retailers lure in shoppers prepping for Christmas. \nTraditionally the event has been a chance for shoppers to snap up cut-price tech and electrical goods\, ranging from games consoles to kitchen appliances\, but now we’re seeing as impressive discounts across fashion\, beauty and even travel. \nIt has routinely been the busiest shopping day of the year since 2005\, although news reports\, which at that time were inaccurate\, have described it as the busiest shopping day of the year for a much longer period of time. \nSimilar stories resurface year upon year at this time\, portraying hysteria and shortage of stock\, creating a state of positive feedback. \n

The 30th November 2018 falls on a Friday this year so it is certainly a time to turn this event into a long weekend.\nA Chance for Wonderful Get-Togethers\nTh amazing thing is that this special day isn’t only celebrated in Scotland but in other parts of the world too such as Barbados and Poland. In Scotland\, there are so many ways to celebrate this day and many celebrations are centred around Grassmarket in Edinburgh. There’s plenty of live music\, food and drink and of course traditional\, atmospheric stories from Edinburgh’s Storytelling Centre. \nThe 30th November 2018 is your time to get into the swing of things because\, in keeping with the generosity of Saint Andrew\, there’ll be some awesome attraction over the entire St Andrew weekend where entry is free.

SUMMARY:Tree Dressing Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Tree dressing\, in the first week of December\, is based on many old customs from all over the world and at different times of the year.\nTree Dressing Day falls on the first weekend of December. It was initiated by Common Ground in 1990 and has grown to become much more than an expression of a love for trees. It is a chance for the whole community to gather and celebrate the leafy friends we all have in common. It’s also a chance for communities to reflect on the social and cultural history of their local area\, and the role trees have played in shaping this story.\nTrees have long been celebrated for their spiritual significance. The simplicity of tying strips of cloth or yarn to a tree is universal and timeless. The old Celtic custom of tying cloth dipped in water from a holy well to a clootie tree‚echoes the practice in Japan of decorating trees with strips of white paper\, or tanzaku\, bearing wishes and poems. The twenty-first century trend of yarn bombing‚in Europe and North America transforms the local landscape with bright fabrics and yarns\, like the Buddhist tradition of tying ribbons around the trunk of the Bodhi tree in homage to Buddha\, or the annual Hindu festival of Raksha Bandhan when coloured strings are tied onto trees and plants to call upon the power of nature to protect loved ones.\nThese deep and diverse cultural associations provide a rich basis for tree festivities across the world. The act of dressing a tree binds us to it and celebrates the unique role that trees have in our local neighbourhoods.\nTree dressing is a powerful way of expressing our relationship with trees. Organising a Tree Dressing Day in your community is a wonderful way of saying thank you‚to the trees where you live. It is also the ideal moment to share tree stories with friends\, neighbours and colleagues. This year  and every year  join the many thousands of people across the UK who celebrate Tree Dressing Day and make sure your community’s voice is heard by saying thank you to the trees in your neighbourhood. \n

SUMMARY:Safe Toys & Gifts Month 2020
DESCRIPTION:With the festive season in full swing\, gifts and particularly childrens gifts are being swapped across the nation in earnest. Although we are pretty sure that Santa ensures all presents he delivers are rigorously safety tested and appropriate for use\, we all need to make sure we deliver gifts to the same high standards. \nSadly thousands of children are injured every year as a result of playing with unsafe or non age appropriate toys. The United States Comsumer Product Safety Commision has created a robust toy safety system\, by requiring testing by independent\, third party testing laboratories around the world; enforcing stringent lead and phthalates limits for toys; imposing some of the most stringent toy standards in the world; and stopping violative and dangerous toys at the ports and in the marketplace before they reach children’s hands. While the work that is undertaken by the CPSC goes a long way in protecting our young people (and adults) there are still many toy related injuries that take place- in 2010 251\,7000 toy related accidents were reported in hospital emergency rooms across the US. \nObviously accidents will always happen\, but with Prevent Blindness America declaring December Safe Toys & Gifts Month this is the perfect opportunity to re-cap on some basic safety advice and brush up on your knowledge about buying safe\, appropriate toys and what to do should you discover a potential hazard. \nWith lots of tips and advice available on a number of forums this is one campaign that we should definitely find out more about. \n

SUMMARY:Eat a Red Apple Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Another day for the foodies! In fact this day should be acknowledged by all! The Eat a Red Apple Day is observed on December 1. \nIt is a perfect occasion to remind yourself that there are healthy snacks that are also tasty. Everyone has heard of the saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” and there are two trains of thought about how the saying became so well known. The first theory is that the phrase is believed to have been coined by professor J. T. Stinson. He was a notable fruit specialist and the first director of the Missouri State Fruit Experiment Station. Stinson said this phrase at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair to promote apples as a healthy snack. The second theory claims that this proverb was coined by Caroline Taggart from Pembrokeshire\, Wales. The proverb was more recently developed into a marketing slogan by American apple growers. \nHowever is actually\, it doesn’t matter who coined the proverb . What does matter is the health benefits of apples. Apples contain significant dietary fibre\, vitamin C\, calcium\, iron\, manganese\, magnesium\, potassium\, phosphorus\, sodium\, and zinc. Eating apples can help you boost your immune system. \nApples are cultivated all over the world\, but America became one of the biggest growers of apples in the 1800’s after the travels of Johnny Appleseed. Real name Johnny Chapman\, he became well known nurseryman who introduced apple growing in many states across the US. Because of his missionary work and his knowledge sharing of apples and subsequent introduction of apple cultivation he became an American Legend. \nSome of the well-known of red apple varieties are Red Delicious\, Gala\, Ambrosia\, Ida Red\, Macoun\, Winesap. \nGet involved with this day of celebration by encouraging your friends and family to buy or pick some red apples and remind yourselves just how delicious they are! You could always really indulge and make an apple pie! \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2020
DESCRIPTION:The estimated one billion people living with disabilities worldwide face many barriers to inclusion in many key aspects of society. As a result\, people with disabilities do not enjoy access to society on an equal basis with others\, which includes areas of transportation\, employment\, and education as well as social and political participation. \nThe right to participate in public life is essential to create stable democracies\, active citizenship and reduce inequalities in society. \nInternational Day of Persons with Disabilities falls on the 3rd of December each year\, with the aim of promoting empowerment\, and helping to create real opportunities for people with disabilities. This enhances their own capacities and supports them in setting their own priorities. Empowerment involves investing in people  in jobs\, health\, nutrition\, education\, and social protection. When people are empowered they are better prepared to take advantage of opportunities\, they become agents of change and can more readily embrace their civic responsibilities. \n

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:World Soil Day 2019 is on December 5th\, this annual awareness day run by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\, is usually held on the same date every year. The event aims to raise awareness of the importance of soil quality for human well-being\, food security and ecosystems\, and events are held at the UN FAO offices and through community based events. The day was first considered by the International Union of Soil Sciences in 2002\, but was not officially endorsed by FAO until 2013. \nSoil is the top layer of the earth\, the layer which everyone is familiar with\, but not everyone knows much about\, many householders don’t even know if their garden is clay\, loam or sandy soil or a mixture\, but the knowledge of soil type\, structure\, management and condition is what can make the difference between good plant growth and a thriving ecosystem and a wasteland. \nSoil is made up of organic and inorganic matter\, air and water\, and the mixture depends on the way the soil is managed or neglected\, which in turn impacts on how plants grow. The human race is dependent on soil for food\, and soil erosion and poison leads to famine\, soil also holds significant carbon\, which is lost through erosion\, which increases climate change. \nWe all depend on soil\, so the more that that is understood of it\, the better the human race thrives\, from beautiful gardens to crops that produce our food\, an example is where programmes in Africa have taught small farmers to manage soil against drought and erosion\, meaning bigger and better crops and less hunger and poverty in some areas. \nMembers of the public can liaise with FAO to run soil themed events for World Soil Day\, educating people on soil and the significance of soil and it’s treatment. \n

SUMMARY:International Civil Aviation Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:International Civil Aviation Day 2018 is a United Nations (UN) annual observation day\, officially declared by the UN in 1996 and celebrated on December 7th each year by all member states of the UN. \nThe day has been celebrated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (a UN body) since 1994\, the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Convention on International Civil Aviation (ICAO)\, which was established in 1944 to establish co-operation and uniformity in aviation internationally. \nThe day is held to recognise the social\, economic and developmental benefits of aviation and international air travel as well as commemorating the ICAO’s role in safety\, efficiency and uniformity in global aviation. \nThe day is celebrated with educational events\, aviation themed lectures and classroom events\, and press and media releases. Airlines such as Airbus advertise and offer information on the day on their websites. The Airbus Website has a very good diagram relating to the impact of international aviation. \nThe UK were initially unwilling to accept International Aviation Day and claimed that it didn’t fall within the guidelines of the ICAO and was a waste of UN resources\, but now takes part\, with air displays for example and fundraising from spectators\, as the Battle of Britain anniversary falls within about a week of International Civil Aviation Day. \n

On December 8\, the United States followed the example of Canada and entered the Second World War. \nNational Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day was declared in 1944 by the United States Congress. It is not a federal holiday therefore schools\, government offices and businesses don’t close but may organisations recognise the historical day and mark the occasion. The Flag of the U. S. is traditionally flown at half-mast in honor of those killed or injured during the attack. Special events are held in memory of patriots. Several memorials have been established to honor those who were killed or injured during the attack. They include the USS Arizona and the USS Utah memorials in Pearl Harbor. \nTake some time today to remember those who lost their lives and the impact that the attack had on the history of our great nation. \n

SUMMARY:National Cotton Candy Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Because there obviously arent already enough reasons to celebrate in December\, today the 7th December we recognise National Cotton Candy Day! \nCotton candy was first created in Europe in the 18th century. At that time\, it was very expensive because spun sugar had to be made manually. Ironically the dentist William Morrisson and confectioner John C. Wharton invented machine-spun cotton candy in 1897 thus making this confection generally available. \nCotton candy\, also known as candy floss or fairy floss\, is a confection that is almost 100 percent sugar. Cotton candy is made by heating sugar to liquify it and then spinning the sugar our through tiny holes. The sugar re-solidifies in thin strands which remind of glass. The final cotton candy is very light because it contains mostly air. Cotton candy is a treat typically served at fairs\, carnivals and fairs where it is sold in plastic bags or on a stick. The natural color of cotton candy is white\, but it can be changed with the help of food coloring. Cotton candy can also be flavored. The largest manufacturer of cotton candy in the United States is Tootsie Roll Industries. \nTo celebrate the National Cotton Candy Day\, treat yourself to some cotton candy. Just don’t go overboard and end up with a sugar rush! \n

SUMMARY:International Anti Corruption Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Corruption is a complex social\, political and economic phenomenon that affects all countries. Corruption undermines democratic institutions\, slows economic development and contributes to governmental instability. \nCorruption attacks the foundation of democratic institutions by distorting electoral processes\, perverting the rule of law and creating bureaucratic quagmires whose only reason for existing is the soliciting of bribes. Economic development is stunted because foreign direct investment is discouraged and small businesses within the country often find it impossible to overcome the start-up costs required because of corruption. \nOn 31 October 2003\, the General Assembly adopted the United Nations Convention against Corruption and requested that the Secretary-General designate the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) as secretariat for the Convention’s Conference of States Parties (resolution 58/4). \nThe Assembly also designated 9 December as International Anti-Corruption Day\, to raise awareness of corruption and of the role of the Convention in combating and preventing it.  The Convention entered into force in December 2005. \nGovernments\, the private sector\, non-governmental organizations\, the media and citizens around the world are joining forces to fight this crime. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) are at the forefront of these efforts. \n

SUMMARY:Human Rights Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Human Rights Day commemorates the day the General Assembly of the UN adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The UDHR is one of UN’s major achievements as well as the first enunciation of human rights across the world. \nAdopted on 10th December 1948\, the Declaration stipulates universal values and a shared standard of achievement for everyone in every country. While the Declaration is not a binding document\, it inspired over 60 human rights instruments that today make a common standard of human rights. It is the most translated document around the globe  available in over 500 languages. \nThe 2018 commemoration of Human Rights Day will mark the beginning of a year-long celebration of 70 years since the international community adopted the Declaration. We celebrate all our inalienable rights and freedoms including a right to education\, a decent living\, health care and a right to live free from any form of discrimination among others. \nDespite the efforts to protect human rights\, the hostility toward human rights and those who defend them continues to rise. As a result\, this year’s Human Rights Day advocates for everyone to stand up for their rights and those of others  civil\, economic\, political and cultural rights. Additionally\, the day aims to enlighten us about how our rights are a foundation of sustainable development and peaceful societies. The day also acknowledges the advocates and defenders of human rights around the world. \n

SUMMARY:National Lager Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:National Lager Day is observed on December 10 annually. \nObviously we advise responsible drinking\, but today is the perfect excuse to go out to a pub or bar and enjoy a glass or two of beer.  You could even buy yourself a couple of your favourite bottles and enjoy in the comfort of your own home! \nThe background to the day is relatively unknown but breweries and lager lovers alike relish the national observance! \nLager is one of the two main types of beer\, ale being the other one. The difference between lager and ale is that lager is fermented and conditioned at low temperatures while ale is brewed using a warm fermentation. Pale lager is the most widely consumed style of beer in the world. \nIn the beginning\, warm fermentation was the only known method of making beer therefore all beers were ales. Cold fermented beers first appeared in Bavaria in the 16th century. Lager brewing was brought to America from Europe circa 1840. Pale lager is the most popular type of lager but it is not the only kind with dark lagers becoming more well known and popular in recent times. \nOn National Lager Day many breweries and pubs host various events such as beer tastings and brewery tours. Whilst we encourage participation in this event\, we must remind you to drink responsibly! You will thank us for reminding you not to go overboard on the lager consumption! \n

SUMMARY:International Day of Neutrality 2020
DESCRIPTION:Neutrality ‚ defined as the legal status arising from the abstention of a state from all participation in a war between other states\, the maintenance of an attitude of impartiality toward the belligerents\, and the recognition by the belligerents of this abstention and impartiality ‚ is critically important for the United Nations to gain and maintain the confidence and cooperation of all in order to operate independently and effectively\, especially in situations that are politically charged. \nAs Article 2 of the UN charter obligates member states to settle their international disputes by peaceful means and to refrain from the threat or the use of force in their relations\, the General Assembly reaffirmed those obligations in its resolution 71/275. \nThe resolution also underlined that some states‚national policies of neutrality can contribute to the strengthening of international peace and security and play an important role in developing mutually beneficial relations among countries of the world. \nRecognizing that such national policies of neutrality are aimed at promoting the use of preventive diplomacy\, which is a core function of the United Nations and occupies a central place among the functions of the Secretary-General\, the General Assembly decided to declare 12 December the International Day of Neutrality\, and called for marking the day by holding events aimed at enhancing public awareness of the value of neutrality in international relations. \n

SUMMARY:Pan American Aviation Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Pan American Aviation Day is an annual national observance in the United States. It is observed on December 17 and falls on the same day as Brothers Wright Day\, which is not surprising as both observances commemorate the same event. On December 17\, 1903 Orville and Wilbur Wright accomplished the first successful flight of a mechanically propelled heavier-than-air craft near Kitty Hawk\, North Carolina. This event is considered to be a pivotal milestone in the development of aeronautics which led to breakthrough developments.Pan American Aviation Day was declared by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. It was first observed in 1940 and has been proclaimed every year since then. This observance focuses on stimulating interest in aviation in the American countries. Its ultimate goal is to contribute to the development of more rapid communications and cultural ties between the countries in the Western hemisphere.Pan American Aviation Day is not a public holiday therefore government offices\, educational establishments\, and businesses do not close on this day. However\, schools often organize trips to aviation centers or museums and classroom activities devoted to the history of aviation. \n

SUMMARY:National Maple Syrup Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:Stop what you are doing right now and put down your breakfast cereals!  Today\, December 17th  is National Maple Syrup Day…so make sure you start the day with some delicious pankcakes smothered in the stuff! \nMaple syrup is a distinctly North American product therefore it quite rightly deserves its own day of recognition! \nMaple syrup is made from the xylem sap of one of the three maple tree varieties: sugar maple\, black maple\, or red maple. It was first collected by the indigenous people of the northeastern part of North America. The technique used to extract the sap from the trees is knows as Maple Tapping and is traditionally done by inserting a spile into the trunk of a maple tree with a minimum age of 40 years and collecting the extract in a container. \nEuropean settlers adopted this practice. In the 1970s the maple syrup production increased due to technological improvements that refined production methods. The largest producer of maple syrup is the Canadian province of Quebec. The provinces of Nova Scotia\, Prince Edward Island\, New Brunswick\, and Ontario also produce syrup. The largest producer in the United States is Vermont. Marketable quantities of syrup are also produced by New York\, Maine\, Ohio\, Wisconsin\, and some other states. \nAs we are all very aware\, maple syrup is praised for its unique flavor. It is widely used in cooking as a flavoring agent\, a sweetener\, a topping\, and an ingredient in baking. To celebrate the National Maple Syrup Day\, cook waffles\, pancakes\, crepes\, or French toast for breakfast and top then with delicious maple syrup. We are sure you don’t need ANY encouragement to participate in this national day of celebration! \n

SUMMARY:Wright Brothers Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:On the morning of December 17th\, 1903 in Kitty Hawk\, North Carolina\, brothers Wilbur & Orville Wright successfully flew Wright Flyer I\, the heavier than air powered aircraft through the skies on a 12 second flight marking the first ever event of its kind and thus creating a momentous historical occasion.  As a result albeit many years later  in 1959\, President D Eisenhower established December 17th as Wright Brothers Day.   \nThe Wright brothers became interested in flying in early childhood\, when their father bought them a toy helicopter. They liked the toy so much that when it broke\, they built their own. After many years of interest\, in the late 19th century they came up with the idea of three-axis control which made it possible for the pilot to maintain the aircraft’s equilibrium and to steer it effectively.  Orville and Wilbur Wright used this principle to design and build a series of manned gliders. Their experience testing gliders helped them create the Flyer (which is now referred to as the Wright Flyer\, Flyer I or 1903 Flyer). It was made from spruce\, a strong and lightweight wood.They made their first attempt at powered flight on December 14\, 1903\, but it was unsuccessful. Repairs took three days. On December 17\, the brothers made another attempt with Orville piloting the Flyer. The brothers made another three flights that day\, taking turns. \nTheir success is an important milestone in the development of aeronautics\, and is therefore no surprise its anniversary is celebrated as a national observance. \n

SUMMARY:International Migrants Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:“On this International Migrants Day\, I call on the international community to act on the global compact on safe\, regular and orderly migration as an important contribution to building a world of peace\, prosperity\, dignity and opportunity for all.” ‚ UN Secretary-General\, Ban Ki-moon\nInternational Migrants Day\nThe total number of international migrants has increased from an estimated 175 million in 2000 to 244 million persons in 2015. Nearly two thirds of all international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million). Migration is now more widely distributed across more countries. Today the top 10 countries of destination receive a smaller share of all migrants than in 2000. \nOne of every ten migrants is under the age of 15.  The impact of remittance flows is also significant having reached $436 billion in 2014  far exceeding official development assistance and\, excluding China\, foreign direct investment. \n Throughout human history\, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today\, globalization\, together with advances in communications and transportation\, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. \nThis new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development\, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development\, that is\, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. \nMigration draws increasing attention in the world nowadays. Mixed with elements of unforeseeability\, emergency\, and complexity\, the challenges and difficulties of international migration require enhanced cooperation and collective action among countries and regions. The United Nations is actively playing a catalyst role in this area\, with the aim of creating more dialogues and interactions within countries and regions\, as well as propelling experience exchange and collaboration opportunities. \nOn September 19\, 2016 the United Nations General Assembly adopted a set of commitments during its first ever summit on large movements of refugees and migrants to enhance the protection of refugees and migrants. These commitments are known as the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants (NY Declaration). The NY Declaration reaffirms the importance of the international protection regime and represents a commitment by Member States to strengthen and enhance mechanisms to protect people on the move. It paves the way for the adoption of two new global compacts in 2018: the global compact on refugees and the global compact for safe\, orderly and regular migration. \n

SUMMARY:National Roast Suckling Pig Day 2020
DESCRIPTION:The National Roast Suckling Pig Day is a food-related observance recognised on December 18. \nIt is a perfect occasion to cook a fancy meal for your family or friends. A suckling pig is a piglet not yet weaned from its mother.   In culinary contexts\, it is a piglet slaughtered between the ages of 2 and 6 weeks. Its meat is tender and pale with an unusual texture therefore it is considered a delicacy. A suckling pig is traditionally roasted whole until its skin is crisp. It is typically prepared for special occasions. \nThere are many recipes for roast suckling pig in both Western and Eastern cuisine. In some European countries\, it is a traditional Christmas dish. In Asia\, it is often cooked for weddings and other important events. A roasted pig is often depicted as the centerpiece of a massive feast. It is enough to feed an entire group of people.  A roasted suckling pig is not a quick and easy dish to cook. Therefore we think that the best way to celebrate the National Roast Suckling Pig Day is to go out at a restaurant and treat yourself to a fancy dinner. But if you have enough time and the weather allows\, you can organize a barbecue for your family and friends. \nHowever you decide to mark the occasion\, enjoy! \n

DESCRIPTION:The Most Wonderful Time of the Year\nChristmas\, or Christmas Day is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25th. It’s the biggest holiday of the year for Western and Western-influenced countries and is celebrated by billions of people across the world. \nTraditionally\, Christmas is a day to celebrate the nativity and birth of Jesus Christ.

SUMMARY:Kwanzaa 2020
DESCRIPTION:Created by Dr. Maulana Karenga\, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University\, Long Beach in 1966\, Kwanzaa is an annual week-long celebration that is observed from December 26 to January 1. \nFollowing the Watts Riots that took place in LA Dr Karenga was keen to create an event that would unite African-Americans.   He wanted African-Americans to have an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history instead of imitation of participation of the dominant society. He founded US\, a cultural organization\, and started to research African first fruit (harvest) celebrations. Karenga combined aspects of several different harvest celebrations\, such as those of the Ashanti and those of the Zulu\, to form the basis of Kwanzaa. \nThis celebration is based around  seven major principles which are\, according to Karenga\, a communitarian African philosophy: unity\, self-determination\, collective work and responsibility\, cooperative economics\, purpose\, creativity and faith. On each of the seven nights of the week long celebration\, families gather together and light one of the seven candles of the Kinara.  Usually a discussion about the one specific principles takes place. \nKwanzaa also has  its own symbols which include:  a decorative mat\, an ear of corn\, crops\, the Unity Cup\, gifts\, the seven candles and candleholder.   All the symbols are designed to convey the seven principles of Kwanzaa. \nMany African-Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa observe it as ad additional celebration to Christmas. \nA fascinating\, humbling and thought provoking celebration\, why not find out more about this occasion? \n

SUMMARY:First Night in the USA 2020
DESCRIPTION:First Night is a cultural and artistic celebration of the first night of the new year. It’s traditionally held on New Year’s Eve. \nFirst Night was celebrated for the first time on December 31\, 1975. A small group of artists from Boston sought an alternative way to celebrate New Year’s Eve. They wanted a festive event\, where alternative artists and musicians could perform on outdoor and indoor stages. Moreover\, they wanted an event\, that wouldn’t emphasize drinking alcohol\, as is common of New Year’s Eve celebration.  The first First Night had a great success and other communities and cities started celebrating it. \nBy the 2000s the artistic celebration appeared in 260 cities across the USA.   First Night celebrations exists in many cities across the USA and everyone can join this celebration as an alternative to New Year’s Eve. Celebrate your local culture\, music\, arts\, dance\, comedy\, fireworks\, ice sculptures and parades! \n
