Chaos Never Dies Day - November 9

Most of us feel almost every day that the world is full of chaos, mess and that everything is mixed up, full of connections and confused. There are many days dedicated to relieving tension and calm, to breaking peace from the mess of the world, and the day of Chaos Never Dies that falls on November 9 is one of them.

Chaos Never Dies Day  is meant to tell us that the perfect and quiet world we all aspire to simply does not exist, has never existed and will never exist. There are too many creatures and objects and energy forces in the world and everyone turns to their side and everything mixes and binds to each other so the chance of a bit of silence is completely unlikely. Instead of fighting this fact, this special day has come to tell us that we must accept it. We need to understand it but make the most of the day, the chaos and the world as it is and just take a relaxing break.

The history of Chaos Never Dies Day 

Chaos is a state of disorder or confusion, and it appears in every aspect of human experience even before the term is even created.

In Greek mythology, chaos is the source of all that exists, the formless primordial matter made of a jumble of the four basic elements of the world: earth, air, water and fire, from which the first gods and the first world division were formed. In fact, chaos, confusion and disorder existed even before our universe was created, making them an integral part of our lives. If it reminds you of anything, it is the chaos described in the book of Genesis, before the creation of the world.

Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics, weather forecasting, physics, economics and philosophy, which describes many systems, which even when all the laws governing them are known, cannot be predicted to develop in the long run. These systems are called dynamic systems, and are highly sensitive to minimal changes in starting conditions. This phenomenon is known in pictorial language as the "butterfly effect".

The origin of "Chaos Never Dies Day" is unknown. Apparently got lost in the mess. But many people are spreading this idea that is reconcile with the fact and slowing down, taking a break and enjoying quiet time with themselves.

There is a whole industry of products designed to release stress. Spa treatments, meditations, yoga and more. All of these things help relieve stress, but that does not mean that the chaos in our lives has stopped if we have fallen asleep in the bath with oils and soap bombs or put a mask on our face. The chaos never dies.

Chaos can have different meanings for different people: for some it's a busy day on the work schedule, for some it's navigating a big, bustling city. For others, the chaos is a noisy family dinner. No matter what your specific chaos, the key to enjoying life is to embrace the confusion and face it head on. Here comes the day of chaos never dies - it is completely dedicated to complete and enjoy the chaos in the world around us.

November 9 is also World Freedom Day

World Freedom Day- November 9

In many parts of the world, freedom is something taken for granted - the freedom to choose a religious or secular way of life, the freedom to be in relationships with the person you love, the freedom to dress, to travel from one place to another ... and the list goes on. Unfortunately, there are many places in the world where these freedoms are not available to most people, who are forced to live empty, frustrating and inadequate lives because the authorities do not allow them to choose.

If you do not know the fear of expressing your opinion, you are considered lucky people who live in a place where freedom is a basic human right. Like every good thing, the existence of freedom must be celebrated and for this to mark the World Day of Freedom.  

The reason for choosing this day as World Freedom Day is to mark the event of the fall of the Berlin Wall on that date in 1989.

The Berlin Wall was a fortified wall that surrounded the western Berlin enclave between 1961-1989. The wall divided Berlin into two parts: East Berlin controlled by East Germany and Western Berlin under the control of West Germany, and the separation between West Berlin and East Germany.

On August 13, 1961, the East Germans began building the wall, which almost completely severed the connection between East and West and dramatically affected the lives of Berliners on both sides. The wall was considered one of the main symbols of the Cold War for more than twenty-eight years. Its opponents sometimes called the wall "the wall of shame" (Schandmauer).

The wall became overnight a barrier that prevented East Berliners from exercising freedom of movement in their city, and those who tried to cross it found themselves at high risk of dying from the bullets of East German border guards. Over the years, the wall was fortified and reinforced by other means, to the extent that it became an almost insurmountable barrier, and as a result, escape attempts were rare in recent years.

The fall of the wall on November 9, 1989 was a formative event, symbolizing more than anything else the fall of the Communist regimes in those years and the end of the Cold War. Following its overthrow, Germany was reunified in 1990, and reunited Berlin became the capital of Germany.

Cappuccino Day - November 8

Cappuccino Day falls on November 8 in honor of the hot coffee with the frothed milk. So many people are addicted to cappuccino - Cappuccino is the perfect drink for a cold day, to meet in a cafe with friends, to walk around with it in a cup with a lid that warms the hands and in general to indulge with it whenever possible.

The cappuccino is traditionally made with espresso, hot milk and frothed milk. The origin of the cappuccino is from Italy.

The origin of the word cappuccino is from the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, an order of the Catholic Church, where monks wore robes with pointed brown hats reminiscent of the popular coffee color.

The first espresso machine used to make a cappuccino was first introduced in the early 20th century, after Luigi Bazera of Milan patented it in 1901.

In 1945, Achilla Gajia, the owner of a café in Milan, invented the modern espresso machine that was suitable for many cafes and restaurants, thus increasing the popularity of cappuccino.

In the mid-1990s cappuccino became a popular beverage in North America, in upscale cafes.

By the late 1990s to the early 2000s, the cappuccino had already become the domain of all cafes for their visitors, while booming in the American coffee industry.

At the beginning of the 21st century, cappuccinos also began to be served in fast food chains.

Cappuccino has also gained popularity in the United Kingdom, due to the British custom of drinking coffee with milk.

When making cappuccino, great care must be taken to arrive at the right ratio of foam and hot milk. The lower third of the cabbage contains the espresso, and the next two thirds consist equally of the hot milk and the whipped part.

A skilled barista can also create artistic forms while he / she pours the frothed milk. The artistic illustrations on top of the foam are called "latte art".

How to celebrate Cappuccino Day?

Of course, Cappuccino Day can be celebrated by drinking cappuccino, it can be done at home alone, if you have an espresso machine, or with friends / family / neighbors / acquaintances. You can drink it at work or in a cafe. No matter where and with whom you drink the cappuccino - it's today to savor this addictive and refreshing drink!

Nachos Day- November 6

Nachos Day is one of the food days in the United States and is celebrated every year on November 6.

The nachos is a food whose source is from Mexico and it started to be popular in Texas and from there in many countries around the world.

The nachos was invented in 1943 in northern Mexico, in a place called Piedras Negres, in the state of Coahuila. One evening, several U.S. soldiers wives who were at an outpost in the area, located just off the border with Texas, arrived at a hotel restaurant.

data-ad-slot="7257876051">

The restaurant was already closed and the food was almost over. The restaurant's head waiter, whose name was Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya, had to improvise to give them something to eat.

From the only ingredients he had: a few tortillas, some grated cheese and peppers, he made snacks with melted cheese and chopped peppers. The women very much liked the snack and when they asked the waiter what they were called, he replied: "Nacho's specials."

The snack soon became a hit in Texas and other Southwest states.

Ignacio Nacio Anaya moved to work at the El Moderno restaurant in Pieders Negres, which turned his nachos into its special dish. To this day the restaurant adheres to its Nachos and serves them.

Ignacio later opened his own restaurant and called it "Nacho's Restaurant", also in Pieders Negres, Mexico. Ignacio Nacio Anaya died in 1975. The original recipe of Nachos was printed in St. Ann's Cookbook in 1954.

Later, they began marketing the nachos in new versions, serving it with sauces such as spicy salsa, minced meat or guacamole, and it became a commercial snack.
