Panic Day - March 9

On the one hand we are told not to panic. On the other hand we have a mysterious virus that threatens us all and causes tens of thousands of people in the country to be locked up in isolated homes. so what are we doing? Panic or not?

Panic Day is an informal holiday celebrated every year on March 9th. On this day it is allowed and even recommended to be in a panic. On this day we have to run around in a panic and tell everyone that we can not handle it anymore. This day was invented by Thomas and Ruth Roy from the Wellcat website a few years ago, along with a few other weird copyrighted holidays. According to the creators of the holiday, it was created in collaboration with the Falling Sky Association.

Panic is a sudden feeling of fear of danger. Panic can lead to sad, difficult and frightening consequences. Mass panic that occurs during public events can result in a disorganized escape that can lead to injuries and even deaths. This is why in stressful situations people try to stay calm and take deep breaths to avoid panic. As written in the cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Don't Panic, which is probably the best advice the author Douglas Adams has given to humanity.

The panic caused by the corona virus that is starring in headlines today can cause the shelves of retail chains to be emptied of essential products as we have seen in recent days, and of all sorts of scenarios such as a hysterical and dangerous escape from a corona patient or blue suspect.

The origin of the word panic is from the Greek word πανικός, from the god Pan from Greek mythology. Probably originated in legends about the god Pan who used to have fun in the panic of herds of aids and sheep, or the panic of people encountering him in desolate areas, or the making of strange and terrifying noises at night.

Panic creation has been an important tool in social revolutions throughout history. Many leaders have taken advantage of the past and are still taking advantage of the panic to advance their political goals because it is known that in such situations people operate in the herd method.

Because it is very difficult to avoid panic and stay calm all the time, and repressed emotions can erupt significantly in the future and even cause a nervous breakdown, invent a special day for panic where we are free to freak out and run around in panic when we tell others we can no longer cope.

How to celebrate Panic Day?

It is not clear why Panic Day is celebrated on March 9, but there is no better day for it than now. Today is the day to release pressures to gather strength to face the real and threatening situation of us all. Another way to celebrate the day is to learn to use techniques that relieve anxiety like various meditations.

Eduard Monk's Scream Painting, 189, is a Norwegian expressionist painter who suffered a great deal of anxiety and depression during his lifetime.

 

March 9 is also Barbie's birthday  and False Teeth Day

False Teeth Day- March 9

 False Teeth Day is celebrated on March 9 every year. False teeth or dentures are artificial accessories that are built to replace missing teeth. They play the role of biting and chewing in the mouth and also play an aesthetic-cosmetic role. They also maintain the proper structure of the oral and maxillofacial cavities. The dentures are supported by the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. The teeth can be removed by pulling them out by hand to clean or replace them, so they can be put in a glass of water for hours to be cleaned. There are also permanent dentures which are the dental implants.

There are partial or full dentures, that is, false teeth that replace some of the teeth in the mouth and teeth that replace all the teeth in the mouth. There are many types of false teeth: some are made of porcelain and some are made of plastic; Porcelain causes a feeling similar to natural teeth.

It is not known who created the false teeth day, but its purpose was to get us to go check our teeth and consider replacing our teeth if the condition is really bad, to maintain oral health. It makes sense that it was a dentist who invented this special day.

The fascinating history of false teeth

Our teeth and condition have almost always been a sign of how we live our lives. The ability to eat well and smile a beautiful, radiant smile depends on our teeth being healthy. Missing teeth can damage both speech and appearance. Dental health and hygiene at various points in history have been a sign of the wealth and power of man in society.

The first and oldest record of dentures is from the 7th century BC, in the Etruscan people who ruled northern Italy until the beginning of ancient Roman rule. It was discovered that they formed partial dentures from the connection of human teeth with animal teeth using a gold connector.

In the early 16th century, full dentures were invented in Japan. They were made of wood and the patient's mouth was measured using beeswax. Later the tree was replaced with ivory and the horns of various animals.

Pierre Fauchard, a French dentist nicknamed the "Father of Modern Dentistry" came up with the idea of teeth made from a metal frame and teeth carved from animal bone. Also use teeth taken from corpses, people from executions or cemeteries.

At the Battle of Waterloo, for example, in 1815, more than 10,000 soldiers were killed, most of them young and healthy. Many teeth were taken from their bodies. The bodies of hundreds of thousands of soldiers killed in the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813 were also taken for replacement.

In 1770 Alexis Duchâteau invented the first porcelain dentures.

In 1820 a jeweler named Samuel Stockton began producing high quality porcelain dentures mounted on 18ct gold plates. But this option was reserved mostly for the rich.

Today the denture option has become more available and accessible. Many celebrities have dentures, including George Washington, Nicholas Cage and Celine Dion. When you look at their smile it is hard to tell that these are not real teeth, and the way to find out if someone has dentures or natural teeth is to look at pictures of him from past years and see if there is a significant change in their appearance.

How to celebrate False Teeth Day?

It is possible to celebrate the False Teeth day by making an appointment with a dentist or dental hygienist. Gum disease is also a cause of tooth loss and the need for replacement teeth. It is important to keep your teeth strong and healthy so that we do not need fake teeth. Dental diseases and decay can also affect our overall health. Heart disease, infection, pain, decreased concentration and lack of sleep are just some of the ways in which the body can be affected by dental problems. Learn about dental care and ways to protect it from falling or needing displacement. A healthy lifestyle also includes maintaining teeth and gums!

International Women's Day - March 8

International Women's Day falls on March 8 every year, starting in 1909.

Women's Day was originally called "International Workers' Day", and what is celebrated is the economic, political and social achievements of women and express respect, appreciation and love for them.

The special day in honor of women began as a socialist political event in the United States following the declaration of the Socialist Party of America. It is celebrated mainly in the communist Eastern European countries.

Over the years the holiday has lost its political hue and has become an event where men express their love for their women by buying flowers or gifts, something like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day.

Cereal Day- March 7

What is your favorite cereal? There are hundreds of types of cereal, sweet, salted, whole-grain cereals, with food coloring, stuffed with chocolate, in different forms, there is simply no end to it.

Cereal Day honors the invention of the brothers William and John Kellogg (the founders of Kelloggs) at the end of the 19th century who invented the Cornflakes by mistake .

The story behind the invention

Corn was a major component of the Hopi diet, the natives of America.

The erroneous invention of the Cornflakes brings us to the late 1890s, when an Adventist mission (Protestants who believe in the Second Coming of Jesus) began developing new foods to meet their vegetarian diet standards.

The team members experimented with several types of cereals such as wheat, rice, barley and corn.

In 1894, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, who was in charge of the Seattle resort of Battle Creek, also an Adventist, used these recipes as part of the strict vegetarian diet that he had imposed on his patients, which also included alcohol, tobacco and caffeine.

The idea of ​​cornflakes came up accidentally when Dr. Kellogg and his brother Will Keith Kellogg left wheat porridge in the oven, forgot about it and turned to their burning business at their convalescent home.

When they returned two days later, they discovered that the porridge had dried and aged, but because they were very careful about their budget, they decided not to give it up and continue with its processing. They went over the dry dough with a rolling pin, hoping to reach the shape of long pages. To their surprise, what they were getting was flakes, which they ate and served to their patients. This event occurred on August 8, 1894, and the crushed cereal patent was registered on 31 May 1895.

In 1906, they found investors and set up a company to make cornflakes that changed its name to Kellogs (known and successful cornflakes company until now) in 1922.

Millions of people around the world eat cereal for breakfast and some for dinner or a snack. Among all types of cereals there are actually healthy ones that contain whole grains, fiber and protein.

Did you know? London has a cafe where only cornflakes are served from all over the world (link)

Did you know? Like snowflakes, cornflakes are different from each other and no two are the same.

How many cornflakes are in the box? Artist Luke Stephenson counted and found that a box of Kellogg's cornflakes (500 grams) contained 7,122 flakes. He also photographed some of them to show how the shape of each flake is unique and special.

How to celebrate Cereal day?

All you need to do to celebrate the cereal day is to take a bowl, fill it with your favorite cereal, sit on the sofa with your legs up and eat it.

Oreo cookies Birthday - March 6

Oreo cookies are among the most delicious cookies that exist. Although they have a lot of calories, fat and sugar, there is almost no one who can resist them.

And quite by chance (probably), March 6 is also Dentists' Day ... and Frozen Food Day

Dentists' Day - March 6

Dentists' Day is a day of appreciation for people who care about the health of our mouths and the integrity of our teeth.

We usually do everything we can to not see our dentist, and when it starts to hurt and there is no choice but to make an appointment, we are not excited to see him again, both because of the unpleasant treatment and because of the price.

Dentist Day is today to be nice to dentists and remember that they are just doing their job, so in honor of this day we will smile a wide smile full of white teeth at the dentist, and show him what good kids we are and how we take care of our teeth.

Some interesting and surprising facts about dentists:

Until the 20th century dentistry did not have a separate specialty in medicine and general practitioners also treated dentistry.

A dentist's chair from the beginning of the 20th century

Today dentistry is a broad medical-surgical field, with many specializations, dealing not only with the teeth and jaw but with the face, oral cavity and the base of the skull.

To become a dentist you have to study at the university for 6 years.

The first to practice dentistry were the Phoenicians who lived in the Lebanese area before the Bronze Age (3300 BC). The Phoenicians and Greeks were the pioneers in dentistry. Archaeological finds show that they used artificial teeth carved from ivory and attached to the real teeth with gold threads. They believed that what causes toothache are toothworms.

In the Middle Ages the treatment of diseased teeth was done by booksellers, blacksmiths, jewelers, blazers and others. Most of the time, those who were involved in extracting sore teeth were books.

The first electric chair, intended for execution, was invented by Alfred P. Southwick, who was a dentist (Link).

Dentophobia is a fear of dentists. About 10-20 percent of the population suffers from it.

Frozen Food day - March 6

 National Frozen Food Day is celebrated every year on March 6, in honor of the meals and snacks in the freezer.

Two inventions enabled the realization of the great idea of ​​food freezing: the invention of the freezer and the invention of technologies for preparing food that can be frozen.

The invention of frozen foods has greatly improved our lives. Instead of throwing away food that has become unfresh, you can freeze it indefinitely and eat it whenever you want, after bringing it back to life to be fresh with no problem!

The history of frozen food

Freezing food slows down its decay by turning excess moisture into ice and inhibits the growth of most bacterial strains. From the dawn of history, farmers, fishermen, hunters and trappers have kept their produce in unheated storage places during the winter season.

For centuries, tribes that lived in places where the climate was cold used natural food freezing. In 1885, a small number of chickens and geese were sent from Russia to London in insulated crates thanks to the use of this technique. As early as 1899 there was a developed import of frozen food from Russia to London during the 4 winter months. The imported food has been supplied to cities all over England such as Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester. They then began to use the freezer to import meat.

In 1929, Clarence Birdseye , a U.S. government biologist, proposed to the U.S. government the "flash freeze" method of vegetables, meats, fruits and seafood to preserve the taste and quality of food. Clarence created Birdseye Seafoods products and developed the rapid freezing process that included special packaging. After winning the first patent for the frozen food freezing process in the United States in 1927, he founded Birdseye and today he and his company are considered some of the founders of the frozen food industry.

Further attempts to promote frozen food were made by Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of US President Franklin Roosevelt, during her visit to Russia. At the end of World War II, the Allies also tried to freeze orange juice, ice cream and vegetables.

In 1945, Maxson Food Systems produced the first frozen meal. They created the "Strato-Plates" - whole meals reheated on the plane for military and civilian plane passengers. Meals included a basic three-piece equation of meat, vegetables and potatoes, each housed in its own separate compartment on a plastic plate. However, for economic reasons and the death of their founder, Maxson's frozen meals never went on the retail market.

Following Maxson Foods Systems came Jack Fisher's frozen dinners, the FridgiDinners. In the late 1940s meals were sold to bars and taverns.

In 1949, brothers Albert and Meyer Bernstein founded Frozen Dinners. They packed frozen dinners on three-compartment aluminum trays. They sold them under the label "One-Eyed Eskimo" and marketed them only in the Pittsburgh area. By 1950, the company had produced over 400,000 frozen dinners. They later expanded distribution to markets east of the Mississippi.

The concept caught on and took off from 1954 when Swanson's frozen meals appeared. Swanson invented the brand of frozen dinners in front of the TV (TV Dinners). Meals that do not require any cooking skills. Just preheat the oven and cook the frozen food for the required time.

Tv Dinner Ad 1963 (link)

Over the years, TV meals have been developed to meet consumer demands. Frozen food companies have started putting out family-sized meals, health-conscious meals and even meals of organic food.

Frozen food, no matter how comfortably prepared, at that time was still heated inside the traditional oven, in a process that would have been time consuming. It was only in the early 1940s and 1950s that faster and easier heating options began to enter the picture.

In 1945, Percy Spencer, an American self-taught engineer, accidentally discovered the idea of ​​using microwaves to heat food.

The Raytheon company he worked for bought the idea from him and registered a patent for the microwave cooking process. In 1947 the first commercial microwave oven was built.

National Frozen Food Day was founded on March 6, 1984 by President Ronald Reagan who wanted to encourage the safe development of food freezing processes. This was after microwaves became accessible to the general public during the 1970s-80s.

During these periods, grocery stores barely devoted a small portion of their sales shelves to frozen foods. Nowadays, however, stores often make room for several aisles of frozen foods from different companies that allow consumers to heat up ready-made foods in less than 30 minutes.

How to celebrate Frozen Food Day?

Frozen food day celebration can be a great opportunity to learn new things about the history of food, and also just enjoy the comforts that frozen foods bring to modern life.

Another option for celebrating frozen food day is to go out to the shops and look at the frozen food departments, see how big and rich they are and how today any food can be found in a frozen version, which was not the case fifty years ago and even less! Today, many brands and product lines have let innovation work and produced new lines of frozen food, taking into account the changing habits and nutritional requirements of the customer base. Today there are many food options like gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, kosher, halal and so on.

Learn more interesting facts about frozen foods, such as:

Freezing is the best method of preserving food. It keeps food fresher than other methods, like canning or drying.

Frozen foods are frozen at the peak of their ripening. This means that some of them may be more nutritious from "fresh" produce that has been traveling for weeks to get to the grocery store.

Nutritious foods can be enjoyed throughout the year using the freezing process, even in climates where produce does not grow well during the winter months.

Frozen foods do not require additional preservatives or sodium, making them no less healthy than fresh foods.

Food can be stored in the freezer for 3 to 8 months, depending on the type of food. Pre-frozen vegetables can be frozen for 8 months. Carrots, cabbage and beetroots can be frozen for 8-10 months. Fresh tomatoes and herbs can be frozen for two months. Fresh peppers: 6 months. Corn cob: 8 months. Bananas: 3 months, apples: 8 months, bread, rolls: 3-5 months if you put them straight into the freezer, and 2-3 weeks if you opened the package, took out a slice and returned it to the freezer.

March 6 is also Birthday of Oreo cookies and Dentist's Day

National Multiple Personality Day- March 5

National Multiple Personality Day has two approaches to reference. The first approach is that this is a day designed to raise awareness of the severe psychiatric disorder called dissociative identity disorder, or multiple personality disorder. The second approach is that it is a day to examine our qualities, how they are expressed in different places and at different times and how we show ourselves differently to different people.

The first approach designates this day to raise awareness to the real disorder that is a serious condition that is difficult to diagnose. In people who actually have multiple personality disorder, each time a different character they embody is manifested, usually with a different name, age and occupation and they are really convinced that each time they are someone else.

The second approach designates this day to celebrate the non-clinical phenomenon that occasionally happens to each of us, to celebrate with all the voices in our heads and most of all it is fine!

Many people believe that they have a number of personalities other than the main one they usually show in public, and that each of their personalities is characterized by different traits. Maybe it’s because in different situations and different environments, we behave differently. 

How to mark Personality Split Awareness / Dissociative Identity Disorder Day?

Because there are two ways to relate to this day, you can mark the day in one or both ways. One way is to explore your personality traits. Take personality tests and learn more about yourself. Invite friends to come in with you for a test and compare the results. The second way is to learn about dissociative identity disorder. Learn how it affects a person and how to treat it. You can watch lectures or read about the disorder. Show support for people with the disorder by sharing your new understanding. If you have a dissociative identity disorder, help raise awareness of it by talking to friends and family about how it affects you in your daily life. Talk to your therapist about ways to manage the disorder.

Personality Split Day is also a day to have fun with the non-clinical version of the disorder that most of us have from time to time. One can on this day have fun with the different characters we embody every day in different situations, and listen a little to the voices we hear in our heads that sometimes argue among themselves and drive us a little crazy.

Is it a day to think about what personality you have when you are in the company of people you do not know and what personality do you have when you are alone or with the people closest to you? Who do you feel comfortable with exposing your crazy side? In the company of who comes out of you the good and felt side and who takes out of you the evil side?
