International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day- February 23

Every dog has its day and today is definitely the day of the dogs! February 23 is the holiday of appreciation for dog biscuits.

Dog biscuits were invented in the mid-19th century by James Spratt, an American manufacturer who visited Liverpool, England and saw there how dogs like to eat their owners' toast and cookies.

He thought the idea of making special biscuits for dogs, which would also contain meat and vegetables, would be wonderful and he returned from London with a secret recipe and opened Spratt's, the first company in the world to produce biscuits for dogs.

Today many dogs enjoy their special biscuits and they are also often used in training and as rewards in training programs.

There are many types of biscuits for dogs today, including those that clean dogs' teeth.

In honor of Dog Biscuit Day, give your best friend who walks on four biscuits and make his day!

Be Humble Day - February 22nd

Humility is one of the rare traits that is hardest to find. Humility is one of the best virtues that can be found in human beings.

There seems to be a paradox in humility, that people who are humble cannot be proud of their humility.

Humility is a trait of someone who does not rise above others, who feels equal to them, who does not put himself at the center. A person who is humble is not necessarily a person who belittles himself in relation to others or thinks he is less good, but a person who thinks he is equal to others and sees them in exactly the same place as him.

Humility is a trait that leads to good communication with other people. Contrary to popular belief, humility can cause you to be "stepped on", humility actually leads to you being respected and valued, because the humble person's attitude towards others is respectful and usually, it causes the other side to respect back.

Think of the people in your life - who is the Swiss braggart who puts himself at the center and who is humble and responsive who gives place to others? Who do you like more?

Who Invented the Day of Humility?

As expected, the person who invented this day did not take credit for it and remained anonymous.

On the occasion of Humility Day, you can keep the silence associated with humility. Do not make loud statements, do not brag, just be humble, humble. You will discover how much it gives peace and quiet to the soul when you do not feel the need to brag and constantly adorn yourself with achievements.

Albert Einstein said, "A true genius admits he knows nothing" And if Albert Einstein said that, what shall we say?

 

February 22 is also Margarita Day

Margarita Day- February 22

Today is Margarita Day, an alcoholic beverage that is basically a family of tequila-based cocktails, shaken in a shaker or mixed in a blender with ice.

The classic Margarita cocktail, officially recognized by the International Bartenders Association, consists of 35 ml of tequila, 15 ml of lime juice and 20 ml of Cointrea liqueur.

Margarita has a special cup named after her, in which the cocktail is served with her lip coated in a salt crown.

The margarita is said to have come from the name Margaret, and one of the hypotheses is that it was invented especially for the Sigfield dancer Marjorie King ("Margaret"), who used to cross the border from California to Mexico during the dry season in the USA in the 1930s, to drink it. Carlos " Danny Herrera is the one who created the recipe for the margarita Brancho La Gloria in Tijuana.

Another claim is that it was invented in Galveston, Texas by Santos Cruz for his favorite patron, singer Patti Lee.

There are two types of margarita:

Frozen margarita served as hail and consisting of natural fruit centers, tequila and orange liqueur, and smoked margarita that also includes 15 ml of scales and a crown of salt made from smoked salt.

International Mother Language Day- February 21

International Mother Language Day, February 21, was proclaimed by UNESCO in 1999 as an international observance of the Multilinguality and cultural diversity in our society. 

The day commemorates the event that occurred in Dhaka (capital of present-day Bangaladesh) on that date in 1952, when several university students were shot to death by police while protesting for the recognition of their native language, Bengali, as one of the two national languages of East Pakistan. 

Beside the commemoration of the event, the day is observed in order to promote the respect for other peoples' cultures and languages, the importance of tolerance toward people with different customs and lack of mastery in the local language, and the preservation of languages in danger of extinction.

World Day of Social Justice- February 20

It is true that social justice is something that should exist all year round, but it is good to have one day dedicated to raising awareness of how important social justice is to live in peace all of us together.

The principles of social justice are gender equality, the rights of indigenous and immigrant peoples, the removal of barriers to people because of gender, age, race, ethnic origin, religion, culture or disability.

Social justice is a general concept that refers to the conditions and rules that must exist in society in order to regulate the relations between human beings, between them and social institutions, between them and human beings from other peoples. They rely on morality and human dignity and are free from biases and biases.

According to the liberal conception, the principles of social justice do not prefer one conception of good over another and they apply to each and every person equally, regardless of their origin.

For the United Nations, the pursuit of social justice for all is at the heart of the global mission to promote development and human dignity.

In honor of World Social Justice Day, you can learn about the subject, teach others and think about your position.

February 20th is also Handcuff Day and Love Your Pet Day

Love Your Pet Day- February 20

Without judging or criticizing, it happens to each of us sometimes that he takes his pet for granted. Not that we do not love them, but it happens sometimes that because of everyday worries we forget to treat our dog or cat (or hamster, rabbit or parrot) a bit, forget to pet, say kind words, treat them a bit like a nuisance when you have to go out with them in the rain, and not even notice that the plate of food or water is empty.

February 20 is a special day for anyone who has a pet. This is Love Your Pet Day and it is meant to remind us of the existence of the cute and beloved creatures who live with us and love us unconditionally. Many times they have a hard time telling us what is bothering them and what they are missing, but in life they will not leave us and will not betray us even if we do not understand them.

Today is the day to observe love in a pet and appreciate all the love and joy it brings into our lives.

In the Western world many households have at least one pet. The animal can be a dog, cat, bird, horse, donkey, freshwater fish, reptiles and amphibians or any other animal that is raised for pleasure and emotional connection and not for exploitation.

Raising pets has a health benefit - studies have found that raising a pet relieves mental stress and lowers blood pressure. If you know someone who suffers from high blood pressure for example, recommend him as a remedy to raise a dog that will take him for walks outside three times a day.

Did you know that raising pets for fun was illegitimate and unacceptable until the 19th century? Throughout most of history in most societies animals have been considered inferior creatures devoid of emotion or thought. If you loved an animal in the Middle Ages you would be suspected of witchcraft and severely punished!

What made the dog an acceptable pet, not a working and guard animal, was their use as hunting dogs whose upkeep until the new age was allowed only to nobles. During the long hunting trips a close and affectionate relationship was formed between the hunter and his dog but it was still not acceptable to treat him as an animal that could be raised not for practical benefit.

In the second half of the 19th century, the urban middle class began to raise dogs and cats as pets and the hobby spread to the less affluent classes as well.

In the Victorian era, the pet became a status symbol. In 1859 the first dog show was held in England. In the 80s of the 19th century the first pet stores appeared in Paris and commercial dog food dry their ability to obtain only from 1920.

In honor of Love Your Pet Day, pamper your pet and give it special attention and preferably also a tasty snack. If you do not upload pictures of her to social networks at least once a day, it is today to share with everyone the last picture you took (preferably from the last hour) and encourage people to adopt pets that need a warm home. It is known that pictures of pets on social networks provide many moments of amusement that enhance the mood and are beneficial to our mental state.

February 20 is also World Social Justice Day and Handcuffs Day

Handcuffs Day - February 20

Handcuffs Day is happy if you are a law-abiding citizen, but if you have a criminal background, this day may not be so happy for you ....

Handcuffs Day is the anniversary of the worldwide patent-pending patent registration, the handcuffs invented by George A. Carney, on February 20, 1920.

The new design of criminal restraints has made the lives of police officers easier. The new handcuffs were lighter and easier to use than the previous handcuffs.

The original purpose of the handcuffs is to restrain criminals so that they cannot escape, but some people find other uses in them such as magicians making an appearance of Houdini-inspired handcuffs, or for intimate BDSM-style relationships.

In Japan, if you are photographing someone with their hands handcuffed, you should blur (pixelate) your hands if you publish the picture on TV or in the press. This is because of the case where Kazyoshi Miura, a Japanese businessman accused of murdering his wife (not the footballer), claimed in court that publicizing his hands in handcuffs had created prejudice in the trial he was guilty of.

Even in France it is forbidden to broadcast images of people handcuffed, or otherwise coerced.

In Hong Kong, people who are handcuffed and led by police are given the opportunity to put a black bag on their head.

February 20 is also World Social Justice Day and Love your pet day

Chocolate Mint Day - February 19th

 You can combine chocolate with lots of things, and they almost always came out successful, but one of the most successful and refreshing combinations is Chocolate Mint, which is a combination of chocolate and mint.

The combination of chocolate with mint has many benefits, not only because of its amazing taste but also health and nutritional benefits.

Chocolate has many natural ingredients that help the body in terms of health. It helps the brain produce serotonin and dopamine and thus improves mood. It contains flavonoids that improve the health of the arteries and reduce inflammation as well as theanines which prevent the bacterial culture in the mouth and protect the teeth from tooth decay and gingivitis.

Mint also has many benefits. First of all mint is a strong and aromatic herb that helps digestion and refreshes the breath. The mint leaves have glands that contain fragrant oil that contains the substance menthol, which is used in medicine (especially in dentistry), aromatherapy and as a spice for food.

Now combine the chocolate with the mint and see how strong this combination is.

The history of chocolate mint

The ancient Greeks and Romans valued mint for its ability to aid digestion, refresh the breath and add flavor to many different foods. The ancient Greeks would cover their dead with mint to prevent bad odors from rotting corpses. According to Greek mythology, Hades the god of the underworld was in a romantic relationship with a nymph named Mint. Hades' wife, Persephone, discovered the connection between them and out of anger enchanted the nymph and turned it into a sweet spice plant, the mint.

Until the end of the 19th century, there was no mint-flavored chocolate. In 1920 Henry C. Kessler opened the York Cone Company which created waffle cones and in 1940 his chocolate mint patties came into the world. In 1988 the Hershey Company acquired the York Cone company and since then it has been producing the mint candy in chocolate.

YORK Peppermint Patties

Although the York company was probably the first to make the chocolate and mint  combination popular, there are a few more companies that are making this great combination successfully.

Mint Chocolate Day was created by the US National Confectioners Association and is celebrated every year with various activities, which mainly promote the sale of mint chocolate candies to people who eat them with great joy.

How to celebrate Mint Chocolate Day?

Today is the day to combine chocolate and mint into your dishes. You can buy ready-made mint chocolate, or make your own dishes that contain these two ingredients like chocolate cake and mint, or chocolate mousse with mint and more.
