International Fanny Pack Day - The Second Saturday of March

 Remember that in the 80s of last century everyone would walk around with a fanny pack on their waist? This comfortable and safe bag was then at the height of fashion. Today the fanny pack may be less in fashion but it can still be found in handbag stores in various designs. It has so many benefits and should be brought back into fashion immediately!

The fanny pack is a small bag, slightly larger than a purse, attached to a belt worn around the waist. Fanny Pack Day is meant to celebrate not only in honor of this bag but also to raise awareness of an important social issue - hunger. Symbolically the goal is to fill the fanny pack with food items on this day and go out with it to distribute them to the needy.

The history of International Fanny Pack Day

International Fanny Pack Day was celebrated following an event that happened in 2007. Nick Yates, an artist from Portland, Oregon, was the person who conceived and created this day. It was then the first Saturday of March 2007. Nick Yates returned from a party with a fruitcake he had taken from it and kept for him in his fanny pack. He happened to meet Homeless on the street who told him his fanny pack looked nice. Nick opened the fanny pack and gave him the fruitcake that was inside.

The incident caused Yates to link the fanny pack to help the homeless. He contacted food banks and continued to distribute food while wearing a fanny pack for hungry people on the way. To raise awareness of the good deed, he created Fanny Pack Day, on the second Saturday of each March.

Middle Name Pride Day - Friday of the first full week in March

When you were born, your parents took the time to carefully consider what name to give you. Most parents have been debating the choice of names for a long time, even before birth and their choice can have an impact on their child throughout his or her life.

Will the name they choose for their child cause teasing at school or will it set them up for success? Should the name contain meaning or just have a pleasant sound to the ear? Will the name be a memento of a deceased person or express an affinity for the homeland? Many parents have considerations that make them very hesitant in choosing the name and sometimes very much want two names and not just one.

For example, if you want to commemorate grandfather Methuselah, but do not want the child to have a strange name that will make him a joke in the school yard. In this case, give the child a middle name, in addition to the first name where everyone will call him.

Among Christians, almost every second child has an additional first name. If you look at Wikipedia for the the celebrity you like, chances are you will find that in addition to the first name he is famous for, he has another middle name that comes before the last name. Examples: Donald Trump is Donald John Trump, and Kim Kardashian was born Kimberly Noel Kardashian. Vincent van Gogh bears the middle name Willem and Madonna's full name is Madonna Louise Chiconi.

Middle Name Pride Day is part of a week to celebrate your name, which takes place in the first full week of March.

How to celebrate Middle Name Pride Day?

Today is the day to be proud of your middle name, if you have any. It's today to share with everyone and reveal to everyone that in addition to your first name where everyone knows you, you also have a slightly outdated name that you hid in the attic. Today is the day to explore and find out why you are given the extra name and what it means. According to Kabbalah and numerology, the second name has meaning only if used occasionally. Today is the day to consider whether it is worthwhile to take your second name out into the world so that it will give you a new meaning and perhaps also affect your life?

If you do not have a middle name, consider whether you should add a name to your first name. A name with meaning, with new energy that may also change your luck for the better.

World Plumbing Day - March 11

World Plumbing Day is an international event that took place on March 11 at the initiative of the World Plumbing Council which celebrates the important role that plumbing plays in the health and safety of modern society.

Following the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti and the tsunami in Japan in 2011 we discovered how easy it is to take for granted the availability of potable water and sanitation systems - until these systems stop functioning properly. History shows that great leaps in the advancement of the human race - both physically and socially - have been linked to advances in piping technology.

The safety and abundance of drinking water is, a concern of most people all over the world, but we do not often notice how important work in the plumbing industry is and how much it contributes every day to remove worry from our hearts and keep us healthy.

So do not take for granted the work of the plumbers - running water in the tap, hot water on demand, and all the complex systems of pipes without which we can not function - everything is the responsibility of the plumbers that it is their day!

March 11 is also Ken's birthday

What are the important signs to pay attention to that indicate a kidney problem?

Itching and dryness of the skin - One of the functions of the kidneys is to strengthen the bones and maintain a balanced level of minerals in the bloodstream. If your skin is suddenly dry and itchy, it may indicate bone disease that is sometimes a manifestation of kidney disease. This is due to the fact that the kidneys are unable to maintain a balance between the minerals in the body, especially calcium and phosphorus.

Fatigue and lack of energy - Feeling tired and lacking in energy can have many causes, but one of them is a decrease in kidney function that leads to the accumulation of fluids and toxins in the bloodstream. Chronic kidney disease can also cause anemia which is also manifested in fatigue and weakness.

Urine foam - Kidney failure can cause the accumulation of proteins in the urine. This can be manifested in the foam that appears in the urine. If it does not disappear after flushing the toilet, it could indicate that the kidneys are not filtering a protein called albumin and therefore it reaches the urine. If a urine test reveals that you have albumin in your urine, it could indicate a kidney problem.

Swelling of the ankles and feet - Decreased kidney function can cause excess fluid in the body which can manifest itself in swelling of the face, abdomen, feet and ankles. The swelling was caused because of the difficulty of the kidneys in removing the sodium from the bloodstream.

Difficulty falling asleep - When the kidneys are unable to properly filter the toxins from the body, i.e. through the urine, the toxins can interfere with us falling asleep. A study has found that people with kidney disease have more sleep disorders compared to healthy people.

Strange taste in the mouth - Another manifestation of the accumulation of toxins in the blood because of the difficulty of the kidneys to remove them from the body is a feeling of metallic taste, like that of rust in the mouth.

Muscle cramps for no apparent reason - One of the reasons for the contraction is a lack of calcium, sodium and potassium ions. The kidneys are the ones that regulate these minerals into the bloodstream so if you suffer from a lot of muscle cramps, it may indicate their dysfunction.

Vomiting and nausea - One of the substances excreted from the body by the kidneys is urination. When there is a kidney problem and as a result it accumulates in the body, it is excreted into the digestive tract and there it is broken down by bacteria and becomes ammonia. Ammonia causes significant irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, decreased appetite, nausea and vomiting.

Any symptom that appeared on the list can indicate problems in other organs as well. If you have one or more symptoms than what appears here, do not ignore, it is important that you check your health with the doctor.

Do you know the cute kid from this picture that travels all over the net and serves as the name of a "Successed kid"?

The boy in the picture is his son, Sam Griner, and his picture holding a sand on the beach was uploaded by his mother to the GoFundMe website. The family managed to raise more than $ 75,000 in the campaign.

International Wig Day - March 10

 International Wig Day is a day celebrated once a year on March 10th. This special day is designed on the one hand to bring some fun into our lives with the costume game that can be done in our appearance by wearing different wigs, and at the same time also create awareness of hair loss problems caused by diseases and chemotherapy treatments.

The wig is part of a costume. Through the wig we can change our appearance. We can become as glamorous as a movie star, funny as a clown or just enjoy a hair look different than usual, more lush and more interesting, even perfect.

The wig is a hair-like cover placed on the head. The wigs are made of natural human hair or synthetic hair.

International Wig Day has been celebrated since 2016. A party accessory store called Temashop.dk in Denmark has created this awareness day to support the fight against cancer and create awareness of the hair loss problems caused as a result and also to remind the world of the pleasure of wearing a wig on the head.

In order to create quality wigs, natural hair is needed, which is why many women and girls come to the rescue and donate their hair, which is cut in hairdressers and moved to wig factories to create wigs for cancer patients.

Hair loss is caused not only as a result of cancer but also from other diseases like alopecia areata, an inflammatory disease of the hair follicle that causes hair loss to the scalp.

The foreign wigs are also used by women in the Jewish ultra-Orthodox community, many of whom fulfill the obligation to cover their heads by wearing the wig.

For judges and lawyers in courts in many countries like England, USA and Australia curly white wig is a necessary part of the traditional outfit.

Wigs are also part of the appearance of drag queens who want to present a look of lush and stunning female hair.

There are also women who prefer to wear foreign wigs that look like natural hair to enjoy the look of lush hair, especially in cases where they suffer from thinning or damaged hair.

How to celebrate International Wig Day?

The best way to celebrate International Wig Day is to wear a wig. Get a wig, wear it and enjoy a different look. In honor of this special day, you can choose a wig with a different hair color, a different length than what you have, a different hairstyle. It's like dressing up and it's fun. Raise awareness among people around you about the stigmas caused as a result of hair loss. If you have long hair, you can go to a hairdresser to cut it and donate it to wigs. You can even join Temashop.dk to support children and families suffering from cancer and stigmas. Share your photos with a wig on social media using the hashtag #WigDay.

March 10 is also Pack Your Lunch Day and Mario Day

National Pack Your Lunch Day - March 10

National Pack Your Lunch Day is a day founded in the United States where everyone takes to work or school or wherever they go, a lunch box where they have prepared their own lunch.

A lunch box is a way to pack the food you have prepared yourself and take it with you wherever you want. A good box keeps food fresh and clean. If you take your lunch to work or school in a box, you will not have to buy food outside and thus you will also save money, and you will also eat healthier and cleaner food.

Lunch boxes first appeared around the 1880s, when people took food from home for work. The boxes were made of metal and not particularly decorative.

A few years later, the children wanted to emulate their fathers and began to take to school also lunch boxes that were made of empty tin boxes that were used to store tobacco or cookies, and decorated them themselves.

The first time they started selling lunch boxes was in 1902. These were boxes reminiscent of a metal picnic basket.

Mickey Mouse was the first cartoon character to appear on a lunch box in a 1935 film.

In the 1950s, lunch boxes began to gain momentum along with popular TV shows, with manufacturers realizing that once the box featured popular characters like Aladdin, the lone rider, and child western star Hopalong Cassidy, the boxes were snatched as enthusiastically as rolls.

Link

In the 1960s cheap vinyl lunch boxes appeared, but the metal still dominated the lunch box market until the 1980s, when it took over the cheap and lightweight plastic sector.

Today the lunch boxes are made of materials like plastic, metal or fabric, they usually contain a few compartments or small boxes so that the food does not mix and you can also take sauces and liquid foods and antique lunch boxes (vintage) are a sought-after collectible item.

Mario Day- March 10

Mario Day is celebrated in honor of the iconic character from the popular video game Super Mario. The reason for choosing the date March 10 is that in English the date is written like this: MAR 10 and it looks like the word Mario.

The character Mario first appeared in a Nintendo game called Donkey Kong in 1981. In the 1981 game Mario was a nameless carpenter, only nicknamed Jumpman. In 1983, Nintendo launched the new game Super Mario in which the protagonist became an Italian plumber rescuing princesses named Mario.

In the Super Mario game, the two Italian plumber brothers, Mario and Luigi, rescue princesses like Princess Peach from the villain Bauser or Princess Daisy. Sometimes the princesses actually save them. In the first games Mario had to save Pauline, his girlfriend. Mario and Luigi live in the Mushroom Kingdom and go through many adventures and challenges on the way to saving the princess. Mario is wearing a red shirt with a blue overall with yellow buttons, brown shoes, white gloves and a red hat with the letter "M". Luigi on the other hand has the letter "L" on the hat. They both have dark brown hair and a mustache.

Mario's full name is Mario Mario. Because the brothers are called the Mario brothers, it turned out that the character's first name and last name are the same. This is how the creator of the character, Shigeru Miyamoto, discovered in September 2015. In 2005, Miyamoto also discovered that Mario's age is 25.
