International Day Against Homophobia - May 17

The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia is abbreviated as the International Day Against Heteronormativity or LGBT Rights Day. This is a day designed to make people stop treating someone whose sexual orientation is different as someone who is not normal.

Today's goal is to stop the fear of homosexuality, transgenderism or bisexuality and accept the people who are not straight as equal and normative.

Leading this day is the IDAHO Committee in France. The committee was founded by Louis-Georges Tin, who also runs it to this day, a French academic and human rights activist.

The reason for setting May 17 as the international day against tronormativity, is that on this day in 1990, homosexuality was removed from the list of mental disorders by the World Health Organization.

Today it marks more than 50 countries around the world since 2005 and is officially recognized by the European Union, the governments of Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Mexico, Costa Rica and more. Even in countries where there is the death penalty for having homosexual relations, such as in Iran for example, the day is secretly marked.

World Baking Day- May 17

Now is the time to dig in the drawer and take out the rolling pin, make a pastry, and celebrate the World Day of baking!

The World Baking Day is held every year on the third Thursday of May, where you can prepare everything baked in the oven - cakes, cookies, pies, pies, rolls, bread and any pastry that comes to your mind.

Baking is a method of preparing food by heating the oven oven compartment with the food inside it.

When it comes to baking, it is usually baking bread, cakes or meat.

This method of preparing food has existed since prehistoric times when humans began baking bread.

During baking, cooked food loses fluids and dries. Different baking methods solve this problem, which can lead to the burning of the food by adding liquids (sauce) during baking, around the baked food or on it, or by covering the surface of the food with an oily substance such as oil or butter to reduce the loss The liquids.

Baking is usually done in the oven. The oven is electrically heated, cooking gas, or other heating materials. There are baking styles that are not using an oven, which uses a hot fire blaze, hot stones placed in a hole or a hot metal plate.

How to celebrate World Baking Day?

Surprise friend, neighbor or relative with a delicious sweet or savory baked treat and let them know how much you care about them.

Biographers' Day - May 16

Biographers' Day is celebrated on May 16 each year, to celebrate the honor of biographers who teach us about famous people and their resumes that inspire us through biographies.

This day was set in honor of the first meeting of the writer Samuel Johnson and his biographer James Boswell on 16 May 1763 in London, at a bookstore near Covent Garden. They became good friends and almost 30 years later Boswell published the story of Johnson's life, in a book that became the most glorious English biography.

Biographies are the writing of a person's life history. The biography can describe a real or fictional person, but usually the reference in the biography is to the resume of a character living or lived in reality. The biographies can be written as a simple text and also as an expression of complex ideas and narratives. The biographies are not only the dry facts about a person's life, but also a description of the feelings and thoughts that accompanied him.

Biographies for children are a great way to teach them the history of mankind and its achievements.

Biographical writing has not always enjoyed popularity. Biographical conventions have evolved considerably over the centuries. The current version of the biography was discovered in the 18th century, and is closely related to the biography written by James Boswell, "The Life of Samuel Johnson." The biography was written in a warm, broad, uncompromising and exhaustively detailed manner, and discovered the new way of writing the biography by James Boswell. It is actually the one who formulated the biography format that has become very popular to this day.

How to celebrate Biography Day?

The best way to celebrate National Biographers Day is to read or write the biography of someone who has influenced your life. Is it a poet, engineer, businessman, writer or politician? You can also update old biographies of people you like on Wikipedia. If you are a biographer yourself, share the biography you have written. Post photos and share thoughts on social media using the hashtag #BiographersDay.

May 16 is also Sea Monkeys Day

Sea Monkey Day - May 16

If you were a kid in the 70s or 80s of the last century, you probably know sea monkeys, tiny creatures that come in the mail in the form of grains in a bag, pour them into an aquarium and they come to life and become cute little crabs.

May 16th is a day dedicated to these special creatures and the weird story behind the way they came to our aquariums.

It all started when a young American entrepreneur named Harold von Braunhut discovered in 1956 that fishermen in his hometown of New York were using as bait for fish in cute little crabs. These tiny crabs had a wonderful ability - in extreme dry conditions they enter a state of dormancy where they can stay for many years, and as soon as they are put back in the water they come back to life and become agile swimmers. In addition, fertilized crab eggs can develop within 24 hours and tiny white crabs hatch from them as soon as water with salt is added.

Brownhut's business sense immediately went into action and he realized that these sweet creatures could be marketed as pets to lots of people and make a lot of money.

The creatures that Brownhut discovered are called artemia. It is a type of tiny cancer that is common in lakes and salt lakes. Its commercial collection is possible in a handful of places around the world such as Siberia, the Great Dead Sea in Utah in the US and China. They are also found in the diesel lagoons and the Atacama Desert in South America.

Brownhut realized that people would not be excited to just buy crabs called Artemia as a pet, so he thought and thought and decided to call them "sea monkeys" because their long tails reminded him of monkeys.

He hired an illustrator named Joe Orlando who created comic books in which he built a whole world of magical characters from fairy tales of their own living in the underwater world.

American children were enthralled by the new animals that were discovered to the world and of course asked their parents to buy them, and sea monkeys became the flagship hit in America. Von Brownhut patented his invention and later developed with his team a "commercial breed" of Artemia - carefully selected and engineered crabs to suit longer aquarium life.

These tiny crabs have also become TV stars - they have appeared on shows like Spin City, Roseanne, Night Court, South Park, The Simpsons, Garry Shandling's show and Desperate Housewives. On October 29, 1998, sea monkeys went into space with astronaut John Glenn aboard the space shuttle Discovery. They returned to Earth after spending nine days in space and the eggs that hatched eight weeks later were apparently not affected at all by their travels.

Chocolate Chip Day- May 15

Who doesn't like chocolate chips?
Chocolate chips are a great addition to cakes, cookies, ice cream, pancakes, malawach, crepes, chocolate, coffee and even as a snack alone.

To celebrate the chocolate Chip day, add chocolate chips to all kinds of things as we listed earlier, or prepare something special with chocolate chips.

You can also arrange chocolate chips in special shapes like smiling faces or write something. Chocolate chips can also be an excellent decoration for cakes.

Who Invented the Chocolate Chips?

Like many things in life, chocolate chips were invented by accident. It began with the first chocolate chip crate prepared in 1937 by Ruth Wakefield from the Toll House Inn in Massachusetts. She wanted to make chocolate cake, but she was out of cocoa powder. So she mixed pieces of dark chocolate in the cookies with cookies. The cookies were a great success. In 1939, Wakefield signed an agreement with Nestle whereby the company would add its recipe to cookies for its chocolate packaging, and it would receive an unlimited supply of chocolate. At first Nestle added a small cutting tool to her chocolate tables. In 1941, Nestle began to produce the chocolate shaped chips. A few other companies followed suit.

Nestlé also has a chocolate chip brand called "Toll House" after the inn where the cookies were invented.

Nylon Stockings Day - May 15th

Nylon Stockings Day is celebrated in May 15 every year, in honor of the nylon socks, which are available in a variety of fashionable colors, and also in the color of the skin when their goal is to be invisible.

The history of nylon stockings

Until 1890, socks made of woven fabric such as cotton, linen, wool or silk were worn to protect the feet from the cold.

In 1920, when the hem of the dresses began to be high, it became common for women to wear tights on their bare legs. The tights of these years were made of real or artificial silk.

In 1938, DuPont developed the nylon patent. In 1939 they began using it in the process of making tights. The nylon stockings arrived in stores in the US and were received with great enthusiasm. They were cheap, durable and comfortable and every day 4 million pairs were sold.

On February 11, 1942, with the entry of America into World War II, DuPont stopped manufacturing nylon socks and shifted its focus to the production of parachutes, mosquito nets, wire and rope for aircraft and more. The nylon stockings were collected from the shelves and returned for military use. They became a kind of symbol of civil sacrifice for the homeland and women were asked to donate the tights they already bought for "Uncle Sam". There was a mass shortage of tights and trade in them moved to the black market.

At the end of World War II DuPont resumed sock production but failed to meet the high demand, which led to riots in American stores. Over time, DuPont was able to increase its productivity.

# Tips

The most annoying thing about long nylon stockings (tights) is that they have a tendency to tear easily. Every small hole in a nylon sock can turn into a run in seconds. The way to deal with a hole in the sock and prevent it from developing is to apply clear nail polish on the hole. So every time you wear nylon stockings, take a clear nail polish with you in the bag in addition to an extra pair of tights.

What can you do with nylon socks that can no longer be used?

Torn nylon socks have many uses and it is a pity not to recycle them instead of throwing them in the trash. They can be used as packaging for delicate clothes in the laundry, which you don't want to get tangled up in other clothes. They can be used as dust filters, to wrap fruit on the tree to prevent birds from eating them or as a cover for insect repellents. They can be used as rags for cleaning dust and sinks, a strainer for paints, storing onions and garlic, tying climbing plants and more.

How to celebrate Nylon Stockings Day?

Today, nylon socks come in a variety of colors and styles. Show off your fashion sense with different styles of tights. Go to the nearest mall, or shop to buy a sock and use it this day. Share on social media using the hashtag #NylonStockingDay

May 15 is also Vascular Birthmarks Awareness Day and Chocolate Chip Day

Vascular Birthmarks Awareness Day- May 15

Many of us have birthmarks on our bodies. Birthmarks are spots we were born with and some of them accompany us from birth to the end of life.

May 15 is currently the awareness of vascular birthmarks and the entire month of May is the month of awareness for them.

Not all birthmarks are vascular. There are pigmented birthmarks caused by excess skin pigment cells that form moles and Mongolian spots. And there are vascular birthmarks that are created by increased blood vessel accumulations that cause, among other things, hemangiomas and wine-port spots.

Most vascular birthmarks are not genetically transmitted and are not due to maternal behavior during pregnancy.

Vascular birthmarks are divided into three types:

1. Flat / macular spots - delicate spots that appear as pink areas and are usually found in the nape and facial area of babies. Usually the spots disappear within a few months. These spots are also called "angel kiss", "salmon swelling" and "stork marks".

2. Wine-port stains - flat stains that range in color from light pink to deep red similar to wine color. Usually these stains

Appear in the area of the face, neck, nape and limbs. These spots are usually large and are caused by deficiency or lack of nerve

To blood vessels. Port wine stains appear in 0.3% of the population and are more common in girls.

3. Hemangiomas - birthmarks that form from blood vessel tumors. Birthmarks that can appear anywhere on the body, they appear immediately after birth but become more prominent and clear a few weeks after it. The hemangiomas usually grow by the age of one year and then begin shrink and clear, sometimes until they disappear completely.

Vascular birthmarks can have emotional and social consequences in cases where they are prominent in their location and size.

Children who have birthmarks may experience bullying and feel that their appearance attracts attention and comments.

Birthmark Awareness Day is designed to raise awareness of the phenomenon, hold meetings and conferences where you can learn and get to know people who suffer from birthmarks, collect donations to invest in research and find solutions for people who suffer from prominent birthmarks.

In honor of Childbirth Awareness Day you can read about the phenomenon, draw a heart with lipstick on your cheek as an identification, contact people who have vascular birthmarks and tell them about this day.
