A Founder Member Collective of industry peers support the pledge\, including Millie Kendall\, MBE\, British Beauty Council; Jane Cunningham\, British Beauty Blogger; and more. \nTo mark the anniversary of the Age Without Apology Pledge launch and to drive change to the age narrative in beauty\, Willowberry is creating a National Age Without Apology Month\, held annually in June to actively encourage people to celebrate age and ageing. \nWhen is National Age Without Apology Month?\nNational Age Without Apology Month will begin on the 1st June 2024 and run for the entire month. This will become an annual event from 2024 onwards. \nHow to get involved in National Age Without Apology Month\nFounded by Willowberry\, National Age Without Apology Month provides an alternative to the current age message\, to change the perception of age by celebrating age and the ageing process. \nWillowberry invites you to take part in this age celebration on Instagram\, by sharing who inspires you to Age Without Apology and why – whether it’s a relation\, friend\, colleague\, celebrity\, influencer\, etc – simply upload a picture of the person onto your Instagram page\, explaining why they inspire you within the caption\, using the hashtag #AgeWithoutApologyMonth and tagging in @willowberryskin \nWillowberry wants to fill social media with positive examples of age and inspire people on how to see age and the ageing process in a different light.

Members of the RAAG are committed to raising awareness of the five key welfare needs of pet rabbits among owners\, particularly in light of the recent launch of the first Good Practice Code for Rabbit Welfare. \nRecognising that rabbits are one of the UK’s most owned\, but least understood\, animals\, the RAAG is determined to build on the profound and positive campaigning\, which 15 years of RAW has already achieved. Recent RAW campaigns include ‘Move Away from Muesli’\, to highlight the health risks associated with muesli-style diets\, which has resulted in fewer rabbits being fed muesli as one of their main food types – down from 49% in 2011 to 18% in 2020. This\, along with other key campaigns\, will be a key focus for the RAAG over the coming years\, helping to ensure that the UK’s pet rabbits are able to lead happy and healthy lives.

This ground-breaking global awareness week\, spearheaded by international NGO\, How Many Elephants (HME) celebrates and supports female wildlife rangers – They’re bold\, changing the game and paving the way for women to stand alongside men at the forefront of conservation\, but they need allies.\n\nThe pioneering World Female Ranger Week (WFRW) includes online and live events\, plus a fundraising platform – http://www.worldfemalerangerweek.org – to raise vital funds for the ranger teams and share their stories. \nThe founder of How Many Elephants and World Female Ranger Week\, Holly Budge says\, “having patrolled with multiple ranger teams in Africa\, I’ve seen first-hand how these bold women are impacting lives; Protecting wildlife\, uplifting communities and empowering other women. WFRW highlights the significant gender imbalance in environmental conservation. My team and I will continue collating gender-specific data about female rangers globally\, enabling us to identify their needs\, find tangible solutions and help build effective policies to contribute towards positive outcomes; for female rangers and conservation as a whole.” \nAs champions of wildlife conservation\, as role models\, as educators and as beacons of hope\, female rangers are not only transforming attitudes towards the role of women around the world; they are showing the capabilities and success of females in traditionally male roles. However\, less than 11% of the global wildlife ranger workforce is female. With women being natural communicators\, protectors and investing their earned income in their families\, bringing gender equality into the workforce enhances community conservation efforts and relationships. Over the last two years\, the pandemic has crippled tourism and funding for conservation projects globally. The lack of tourists visiting National Parks has led to many rangers losing their jobs or having significant salary cuts. The knock-on effect of this is huge. For example\, one ranger in Africa may support up to 16 family members. Additionally\, reduced vigilance in tourist hotspots has left wildlife even more vulnerable to poaching. \nSo\, the often-challenging work of rangers is paramount right now. Day and night\, female rangers patrol wilderness areas\, monitoring wildlife\, seizing snares\, working with communities and in some cases\, arresting poachers\, all to save iconic species from extinction. They are away from their families for long periods\, sometimes facing workplace security issues and battling social stigma. Many of these inspirational women have overcome adversity\, poverty and marginalisation. Becoming a ranger has empowered them\, turned them into breadwinners and property owners\, and has allowed them access to higher education and much-needed healthcare. They need our support to continue their vital work. \n\nWhen is World Female Ranger Week? \nJune 23rd-30th 2024 (and annually)\nHow to get involved in World Female Ranger Week?\n\nWorld Female Ranger Week is seeking long-term strategic partnerships with companies\, associations\, and global citizens to expand the campaign’s reach to strengthen the support of female rangers. Businesses and individuals can set up fundraising pages via worldfemalerangerweek.org. \nFor updates\, follow @worldfemalerangerweek on Instagram and Facebook\, @femalerangerwk on Twitter\, or use hashtag\, #worldfemalerangerweek.

These include a range of wildflowers\, bryophytes\, invertebrates and insects who require bare sand habitat to survive.Coastal sand dunes are also beautiful and important landscapes for communities\, both as recreational spaces allowing personal connection with nature\, and as places filled with cultural heritage and celebrated sites of historic renown. \nOver the last 80 years\, open sand has largely disappeared from UK sand dunes\, being replaced by dense grass and scrub. This change has been caused by factors such as the introduction of non-native plants\, lower levels of grazing\, climate change and air pollution. As the dunes have become more stable and overgrown\, rare wildlife has declined. \nThe day is being set up by the Twyni Byw-Sands of LIFE and Dynamic Dunescapes projects. These are two projects working to protect sand dunes and the wildlife that depends upon them. Events are still currently at planning stage\, but you can keep in touch by visiting their twitter accounts: @TwyniByw and @DynamicDunes. The hashtag for the day will be #WorldSandDuneDay. \nSands of LIFE (LIFE17 NAT/UK/000023) is a major conservation project to revitalise sand dunes across Wales. It will recreate natural movement in the dunes and rejuvenate habitats which are home to some of our rarest wildlife. The £4 million project\, led by Natural Resources Wales (NRW)\, will restore over 2400 hectares of sand dunes\, across four Special Areas of Conservation\, on 10 separate Welsh sites. The project has received 75% funding from the LIFE Programme of the European Union\, with the Welsh Government providing 25% match funding. \nDynamic Dunescapes (HG-16-08643; LIFE17 NAT/UK/000570-DuneLIFE) is a partnership project rejuvenating sand dunes in England and Wales. Project partners are Natural England\, Plantlife\, Natural Resources Wales\, National Trust and The Wildlife Trusts. The project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and the EU LIFE Programme.

This year the Day will recognise the unique contribution made by seafarers from all over the world to international seaborne trade\, the world economy and civil society as a whole\, with the theme Seafarers Matter’. \nThe day recognises the unique and vital role of seafarers in the global community\, and the United Nations recognise the Day of the Seafarer as an observance day. \nThe Day of the Seafarer was established in 2010 by by a resolution adopted at a diplomatic conference in Manila. The revised International Convention on Standards of Training\, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW)\, the original STCW was to ensure an international standard of competency and welfare for seafarers\, for their safety\, and the revision was to ensure the upholding of the Day of the Seafarer as part of this. The convention’s aim was to recognise the contribution by seafarers to society and economy globally. \nThe resolution encourages governments\, shipping firms\, companies associated with sea trade and others\, to promote and uphold sea trade and seafarers through the Day of the Seafarer. \nThe day encourages international public and official conversation about seafarers and seafaring\, and the well-being of those involved in it\, and interactive media relating to the Day of the Seafarer has proved extremely popular around the world\, for example quizzes and interactive maps\, videos and photo galleries\, and social media hashtags and discussions. The day aims to see events run in ports and seafarer centres as well as online. \nLeading up to the 25 June\, seafarers are being invited to answer questions on what a fair future for seafarers looks like. The answers will be shared afterwards and will provide a soundboard to help guide our actions moving forward. Polls are available on all IMO social media platforms.

This unsurprisingly has everything to do with catfish! Perhaps one of the lesser known days of recognition and celebration\, National Catfish Day has assisted the continued growth of this specific type of aqua farming across the USA.\nJune 25 is National Catfish Day in the USA. The holiday was designated by President Ronald Reagan on June 25 in 1987. National Catfish Day celebrates the value of farm-raised fish. \nOriginally the commemorative bill was proposed by Congressmen Mike Epsy\, who having recognised the industry as growing in his home state\, endeavoured to encourage the growth of the industry further afield. Catfish were not a popular choice of delicacy at the time. Although initially the bill was unsuccessful\, Mr Epsy garnered support from fellow congressmen and was also able\, by providing the best catfish luncheons to military leaders\, to ensure catfish was added to the military commissary menu. As a result his popularity at election time grew in his home state\, thanks to the increase in demand for catfish\, as did support for the bill. The text of the Proclamation by President Ronald Reagan\, illustrates the boom in the industry\, the increase in sales and the innovative methods developed to ensure the highest standards were met. \nSo why not look up some Catfish recipes and find out just why they make one of the USA’s most popular fish to eat? \n  \n  URL:https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/national-catfish-day-in-the-usa-2024/ CATEGORIES:Environmental Awareness,Food Awareness,June,US ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.awarenessdays.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/iStock-943355988-scaled-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240625 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240626 DTSTAMP:20240625T081849 CREATED:20231008T121723Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231008T121723Z UID:10017238-1719273600-1719359999@www.awarenessdays.com SUMMARY:Leon Day in the USA 2024 DESCRIPTION:Leon Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated in the United States on June 25. It is the halfway mark to Christmas. The exact origin of Leon Day is unknown. However\, it is clear why it was named so: Leon is Noel (another name for Christmas) spelled backwards.\nThe date of June 25 marks the turning point when Christmas begins to come closer on the calendar. Although Leon Day is not an official holiday\, it is celebrated by many businesses and organizations in a number of ways. For example\, retailers may offer special deals and promotions. Some radio stations play Christmas music during the day. For many crafters\, Leon Day is a time to start making decorations and gifts for Christmas. \nNonprofit organizations and charities may hold fundraisers to remind people that donations are appreciated all year round\, and not exclusively during the Christmas season. For example\, the Salvation Army sometimes observes Leon Day with launching an out-of-season Christmas kettle campaign. \nSome people celebrate Leon Day as a mini Christmas. They get out Christmas decorations\, put on ugly holidays sweaters and Santa hats\, watch their favorite Christmas movies\, and treat themselves to eggnog\, gingerbread\, and candy canes. \nWhether you celebrate it or not\, the countdown begins now!

Hence we are looking to dedicate a day for an all-inclusive\, industry wide celebration for the love and popularity of the game. \nNational Bingo Day is currently only recognised and celebrated in the USA on 27th June. Mecca Bingo wishes to mark the occasion in the UK in its 60th year to be celebrated by the UK bingo industry on the same date. The bingo game we know and love today can be traced back to Italy in the 16th century\, from around 1530\, where it was called Il Gioco del Lotto d’Italia. It later became a favourite of the French aristocracy\, where it was known as ‘Le Lotto’\, before finally arriving on British shores in the 18th century. \nEvents and activities are planned to celebrate National Bingo Day in the UK which will all be announced early next year\, however\, initial campaign details include: \n1. Downloadable resources to play bingo/street bingo at home \n2. Competitions\, quizzes and giveaways \n3. Celebrity surprise guests \n4. Chat host games \n5. Free bingo sessions online \n6.

Each week focussed on a special theme. \nPrevious themes were… \nWeek 1 (from 29 June): The Natural World \nWeek 2 (from 6 July): Connecting across generations \nWeek 3 (from 13 July): Literacy and creative writing \nSchools\, galleries\, museums and community groups were invited to plan and register visual arts activities for children and families. These activities gave children and young people\, together with their teachers\, parents and carers\, the opportunity to take part in practical art activities with artists\, makers and educators. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how essential creativity and the visual arts are for learning\, connecting and wellbeing. While venues\, cultural organisations and school buildings were closed\, engaging in the visual arts became more important than ever. \nIn 2024\, to support the advocacy work of the visual arts engagement and participation sector\, Engage will celebrate the amazing health and wellbeing work delivered through the sector. Check Engage’s website\, E-bulletin and social media for details. \nEngage is delighted that Children’s Art Week has been adopted by many organisations and individuals.

Please share what you get up to with us by email or social media. \nVenues and organisations of all types and sizes were welcome to register events and activities — from libraries to community halls\, heritage venues and country parks\, schools and of course museums and galleries. Individual artists and makers also took part. \nActivities ranged from a live-streamed session with an artist or special activity packs\, to digital challenges engaging with online collections\, physical resources distributed by post or activity delivered over the phone — think outside the box! Events and activities were filtered by age and location\, so think about whether you would like to connect to a specific history or person from your local area and what age groups you would like to engage with. \nOrganisers are welcome to revisit existing resources and activities to programme for Children’s Art Week 2021. If you have activities\, a campaign or programme already in action\, think about how you can respond to this year’s themes and join in! \nAll registered events or activities\, excluding private events registered by schools or organisations\, must be free or low cost to participate\, and must be able to be accessed or distributed remotely. Organisers will receive support from Engage to plan\, run and publicise their events or activities. \nRegistration will open at the end of May. \nBringing Children and Art Together Children’s Art Week \nChildren’s Art Week takes place in the UK and is organised by Engage. All over the country various events will be held\, giving young people and children the opportunity to get involved in a range of art activities. \nWhat is Engage? \nEngage provides support and training for gallery education. Gallery education refers to a field which works to widen access to the visual arts for everyone. It works with gallery owners and visual arts organisations. The aim is to encourage families\, young people\, disabled people\, older people and early years groups to be more engaged with visual arts. \nHow Children’s Art Week is Celebrated \nEngage invites various organisations such as schools\, museums\, galleries and community groups to organise various visual arts events.

Anytime there’s a problem to be solved or an improvement to be made\, research leads the way to advancement. Research has led to incredible progress like curing polio\, sending a man to the moon\, inventing the smartphone and developing new treatments for depression\, anxiety and other mental illnesses. \nIt is only though the tireless research of scientists\, health professionals and volunteers that we are able to improve the treatments available for different physical and mental health conditions. Despite this vital service\, research is often forgotten about when it comes to funding and policy decisions or discussions about health care. \nIt’s time to give research the credit it’s due. Because without research\, it’s just guesswork. \nWhen is Research Appreciation Day 2024?\nWednesday the 5th of July 2024 will be the first annual Research Appreciation day run by the charity MQ Mental Health Research.

With so much media attention focussing on the effects of our waste on marine life\, the oceans and our coastal landscape this is an excellent opportunity to be proactive and attempt to address a small part of the overall problem while raising awareness of a much larger global challenge. \nIn 2007 the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the National Clean Beaches Week Resolution by unanimous consent. \nKnown as the Earth Day for beaches\, hundreds of events are organized locally on beaches around the USA and include beach clean ups\, art fairs\, seafood festivals and other educational events aiming to raise awareness about respecting the beach and surrounding environment. \nThe coalition has set 7 simple reminders for those using the beach which they hope will assist the preservation of the beaches as well as protect people from the natural hazards that can occur at the shore. \n1. Leave no trace (what you carry in\, carry out) \n2. Move your body (walk\, run or swim) \n3. Don’t tread the dunes (use a walkover or walk-thru) \n4. Know your limits (swim\, surf and boat safely) \n5. You are what you eat (eat healthy seafood) \n6. Feed your mind. (read a book) \n7. Respect the Ocean (riptides\, storms\, natural resources) \nThe Clean Beaches Coalition also certifies beaches across the USA\, some of which are included in the annual USA Today Listing of the 10Best Beaches. A panel of beach experts along with 10Best contributors picked the shortlist with the top 10 winners chosen by popular vote. \nThe 4th of July is the biggest day for beach visits in the USA\, so why not go along and offer a helping hand and don’t forget the 7 Principles!

Campaign to recognise the industry-wide effort made by experts across the pea vining sector\, which produces 2 billion portions of peas for the UK market and beyond each year.\nGreat British Pea Week champions the 700 pea farmers around the country\, who work within 16 different grower groups to ensure that Great Britain remains the largest producer and consumer of frozen peas in Europe\, maintaining the country’s impressive track record of being 90% self-sufficient in pea production. \nThe harvesting process\, which lasts an average of eight weeks\, is a huge operation which takes place between June through to August\, 24 hours a day\, 7 days a week. Harvesting machines\, known as pea viners\, work in unison to harvest\, shell and transport the peas from field to frozen as quickly as possible\, with the majority in just 150 minutes\, ensuring the freshness and nutrients of each pea is locked in. \nWith the average Brit consuming around 9\,000 peas a year\, the pea harvest is critical in ensuring produce makes it to supermarket shelves to sustain the demand for the full year\, with the British pea industry harvesting 160\,000 tonnes of frozen peas each year. \nWhen is Great British Pea Week?\nGreat British Pea Week is observed on the first week of July each year. In 2024\, Great British Pea Week will be celebrated from the 1st-7th of July\, marking the busiest season for the UK pea industry and encouraging the nation to incorporate peas into their everyday meals. \nHow to participate in Great British Pea Week\nGet cooking!

We’ve included a few details about Sarcoma below but there is lots of information to found here .\nSarcomas are rare cancers that develop in the muscle\, bone\, nerves\, cartilage\, tendons\, blood vessels and the fatty and fibrous tissues. \nThey can affect almost any part of the body\, on the inside or the outside. \nSarcomas commonly affect the arms\, legs and trunk. They also appear in the stomach and intestines as well as behind the abdomen (retroperitoneal sarcomas) and the female reproductive system (gynaecological sarcomas). \nBone sarcomas affect less than 500 people in the UK each year\, making it a very rare form of cancer. Not all bone cancers will be sarcomas. \nSoft tissue sarcomas can affect any part of the body; they develop in supporting or connective tissue such as the muscle\, nerves\, fatty tissue\, and blood vessels. Soft tissue sarcomas include: \nGIST is a common type of sarcoma; it develops in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract\, a long tube running through the body from the oesophagus (gullet) to the anus (back passage) and includes the stomach and intestines. \nGynaecological sarcomas (sometimes shortened to gynae sarcomas) occur in the female reproductive system: the uterus (womb)\, ovaries\, vagina\, vulva and fallopian tubes. You may also hear the term uterine sarcoma. They can affect women of any age. \nRetroperitoneal sarcomas occur in the retroperitoneum.

In 1938\, it was changed to a paid federal holiday. \nIndependence Day celebrations include patriotic displays\, political ceremonies and speeches\, parades\, concerts\, carnivals\, fairs. Family reunions often occur on this day; many families host or attend picnics or barbecues. In the evening\, firework displays traditionally occur. Fireworks may be accompanied by patriotic songs.

But how will people around the world be celebrating International Kissing Day? Here’s a few interesting facts on how other cultures see the kiss. \nIn Italy and Greece friends\, both men and women commonly kiss each other on the lips when greeting each other\, whereas in France one air kiss on each cheek is a customary greeting.\nModern Anthropologists believe that kissing developed from “Eskimo kissing” \, which is actually the practise of rubbing noses to take in each others breath. This is also practised amongst many Pacific Islanders as a greeting\, which has led to the theory that kissing is actually a testing of another persons scent to measure compatibility!\nIn Vietnam kissing between spouses is only done in private\, with China and Japan adopting a similar attitude towards this. While people from the Netherlands actually opt for 3 kisses as a form of greeting. \nHowever you plan on marking the event\, Happy International Kissing Day everyone!

This event has been celebrated for almost three decades and the aim is to focus the world’s attention on the importance of population issues. \nThe Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended its introduction in 1989. Inspiration for this special day comes from the interest that was raised by “Five Billion Day” on 11th July\, 1987. This was the day when the world’s population reached 5 billion. \nIn 1968\, the International Conference on Human Rights was held. For the first time ever\, family planning was affirmed to be a human right. The Tehran Proclamation\, adopted during the conference\, states that it is a basic right of parents to be able to decide on the number and spacing of their children. \nMillions of women\, globally\, are still not given access to safe and effective family planning methods. Which is why it has been chosen as the focus for previous years. A basic human right is to be able to get safe and effective family planning. It should also be a voluntary choice. Gender equality and women’s empowerment depend on it. Further more\, it is a key factor in reducing poverty.

In addition\, women are more likely to be underemployed and under-paid\, and to undertake part-time jobs or work under temporary contracts. \nThat is why education and training are key determinants of success in the labor market. But unfortunately\, existing systems are failing to address the learning needs of many young people\, and surveys of learning outcomes and skills show that a large number of youth have low levels of achievement in basic literacy and numeracy. Skills and jobs for youth feature prominently in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development\, and SDG target 4.4 calls for a substantial increase in the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills.

It came about when 120 states adopted a statute in Rome. It was known as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (“the Rome Stature”). All the countries that agreed to adopt the statute were accepting the jurisdiction of the ICC\, with regards the prosecution of very serious crimes. The idea was not for the ICC to replace national courts. It is only able to intervene when a country can’t or won’t carry out investigations and prosecute perpetrators. \nThe Aim of International Justice Day \nThe aim of this day is to unite everyone who wants to support justice as well as promote victims rights. It is to help prevent serious crimes and those that put the peace\, security and well-being of the world at risk. \nHow You Can Mark the Day \nThere are a number of different ways you can play a part. Why not write an article or a blog to highlight the need for justice where you live? You could send a communication to your local elected representative and voice your opinion. Speak to members of your government. Or take part in one of the many events that will be held in cities around the world.

Although this date does differ each year it will generally take place on the third Wednesday in July (which is National Hot Dog Month). \nHot Dog Day celebrates hot dogs as one of the staples of American cuisine. A hot dog is a cooked sausage served in a sliced bun\, typically with garnishes and condiments. Sausages (also known as frankfurters) were brought to the United States by German immigrants in the 19th century. Over the years\, hot dogs have become one of the most popular street foods in the USA. \nThe National Hot Dog and Sausage Council was established in 1994 by the American Meat Institute\, the largest and oldest trade association that represents the U.S. meat and poultry industry. The Council is dedicated to providing consumers and media with information concerning nutrition\, preparation\, safety and quality of sausages and hot dogs as iconic American foods. It council organises and sponsors numerous events held across the United States. The proceedings from the events are often given to charity. \nTo celebrate National Hold Dog Day\, invite your friends over for a cookout and enjoy delicious hot dogs with your favourite condiments and garnishes.

Daiquiri was supposedly invented in Cuba. Its invention is usually ascribed to Jennings Cox\, American mining engineer and Congressman William A. Chanler is credited with popularization of this cocktail in clubs in New York in the early 1900s. \nBut daiquiri became really popular in the second half of the 20th century. \nThe main ingredients of daiquiri are rum\, lime juice\, and sugar or other sweetener. A basic daiquiri is made with 9 parts white rum\, 5 parts lime juice\, and 3 parts simple syrup and served in a chilled cocktail glass. There are many variations of daiquiri. For example\, if you add strawberry to a regular daiquiri you will get a strawberry daiquiri. Banana daiquiri\, pineapple daiquiri\, blueberry daiquiri\, and other fruit daiquiris are made in the same manner. Daiquiri floridita is made with maraschino liqueur. Hemingway daiquiri\, also known as papa doble\, consists of white rum\, lime juice\, grapefruit juice\, and maraschino liqueur and is made without sugar. \nTo celebrate National Daiquiri Day\, go out to a bar and treat yourself to your favorite variation of daiquiri!

The first confectioneries that closely resemble modern-day lollipops date back to the Middle Ages. They were made with boiled sugar. However the history of the first lollipops in the United States is unclear. They are thought to have been invented in the early or mid-19th century. According to the most popular theory\, the modern version of the lollipop was invented by George Smith in the early 1900s. His lollipops were soft\, rather than hard. He named them after Lolly Pop\, a popular race horse. \nLollipops usually consist of hardened sugar and corn syrup with added flavouring. They are mounted on a stick and intended for licking or sucking. Lollipops come in dozens of flavours\, colours\, and shapes. Sometimes they contain fillings\, such as a soft candy or bubble gum. \nNational Lollipop Day is the perfect occasion to enjoy the confectionery that reminds most of us of childhood. Grab a lollipop to celebrate and buy some for your family and friends\, too!

On this day you can celebrate your love of this famous Mexican spirit by enjoying a tequila with friends and posting it on social media with the hashtag #nationaltequiladay. \nProduced in the area around the town of Tequila in the Jalisco area of Mexico\, tequila is the national drink of Mexico and is made from the blue agave plant. Originally known as mezcal wine\, there are a number of different categories of tequila including: \nBlanco tequila a white unaged Tequila. \nJoven tequila an unaged golden tequila flavoured with either sugar syrup or caramel. \nReposado tequila aged between 2 months to 1 year in oak barrels. \nAnejo tequila aged between 1 3 years in oak barrels. \nExtra Anejo tequila aged for a minimum of three years. \nNational Tequila Day first started in the USA and Mexico and is celebrated with a number of tequila festivals and tours of tequila distilleries along what is known as the tequila trail in Jalisco. In recent years the celebration has also been adopted in the UK due to the rising popularity of the drink. On national Tequila day in the UK\, although celebrations are smaller than in the USA\, you will find tequila on offer in many bars and supermarkets. \nResponsible for some of our best loved cocktails\, The Tequila Sunrise\, The Margherita\, The Long Island Iced Tea to name a few\, July 24th has been set aside each year to celebrate Tequila. If you’re still recovering from a few too many Tequila slammers at the weekend to raise a glass to it this year\, we’ve put together a few little facts to help pay homage to the stuff without the hangover! \nTequila is made of at least 51% Blue Agave \nAlthough Mezcal can be made from the 100s of different Agave varieties. Tequila must contain at least 51% of Blue Agave and many believe it should be 100%. Tequila consisting of less than 100% Blue Agave are called Mixto. \nMuch of the work in making Tequila is done by hand \nAgave is hand selected for harvest and harvested by hand. In premium Tequilas\, the pulp is extracted from the fiber in large stone bowls by humans after being ground down in the tahona. \nIt takes 8-12 years for the Blue Agave plant to mature enough to make Tequila \nTequila is made from the heart of the Blue Agave plant\, called pi√±a. The pinamay weigh up to 200 pounds when harvested. \nCUERVO WAS THE FIRST PRODUCER OF TEQUILA IN THE WORLD.Jose Antonio de Cuervo y Valdes obtained land from the King of Spain in 1758 and began producing tequila all before Mexico became an independent republic. In 1795\, his son\, Jose Mar√≠a Guadalupe de Cuervo\, began selling the very first Vino Mezcal de Tequila de Jose Cuervo after receiving the first official charter from the King of Spain to produce tequila commercially. \nREAL TEQUILA CAN ONLY BE PRODUCED IN FIVE SPECIFIC REGIONS IN MEXICO. \nTequila received a Designation of Origin (appellation de controlee) in 1974. It’s the same as an appellation for Bordeaux\, Bourbon or Cognac. The Mexican federal government has established strict requirements governing tequila production. \nTHE PI√ëA IS THE HEART OF THE BLUE AGAVE. \nThe pi√±a (Spanish word for pineapple) is the fruit or\, heart\, of the agave from which sugars are extracted and tequila is made. The word pi√±a is used because once harvested\, the heart of the plant resembles a pineapple. \nREPOSADO MEANS RESTED. \nTequila must be rested in wood barrels for a minimum of two months. This is a requirement of the Mexican government. The resting mellows and refines the tequila\, producing a combination of superb smoothness and great taste. \nYou can thank Bing Crosby for your tequila: \nBack in the early 50s\, Bing Crosby became so infatuated with the Herradura brand of tequila that he teamed up fellow actor Phil Harris to import the brand into the United States. Their efforts made Herradura the first-ever 100% blue agave liquor available in the US. \nTequila has health benefits: \nStudies have shown that a component in tequila helps break down dietary fat\, which can lower the levels of bad cholesterol. A shot taken after dinner can aid your body’s digestion. \nPeople will pay a lot for good tequila: \nAccording to The Guinness Book of World Records\, the most expensive bottle of tequila ever sold went to a private collector for $225\,000. The bottle was made out of white gold and platinum\, and contained six year-aged tequila worth $2\,500.

Today is National Chocolate Day! Celebrated on July 28th in the USA\, National Chocolate Day is one of many informal food observances that take place. \nWhat may seem to us like a form of instant gratification\, behind every chocolate treat is a story involving many participants from across the globe\, state of the art manufacturing and attention to detail. \nMilk chocolate is the most popular type of chocolate across the globe\, being used in the vast majority of candy bars. Although specialist chocolates have become more popular in recent years\, milk chocolate continues to be the biggest seller across the USA. \nPure chocolate liquor can have a bitter taste therefore sugar and sometimes milk are added. Milk chocolate is made with chocolate liquor mixed with fat (typically cocoa butter)\, sugar\, and milk in the form of liquid milk\, milk powder\, or condensed milk. Our favourite treat was invented by German company Jordan & Timaeus in 1839 although originally was only available as a beverage. \nIn 1870s\, Swiss confectioner Daniel Peter created solid milk chocolate which was made with condensed milk. Milk chocolate is one of the sweetest types of chocolate. The minimum amount of cocoa solids contained in milk chocolate varies by country depending on the local regulations. In the USA the minimum amount of cocoa solids is 10% however in Europe this increases to 25%. Who knew milk chocolate could differ so much! The concentration of milk solids varies\, too\, from 12% in the United States and Canada to 14% in the European Union. \nSo go ahead\, make yourself a cup of milk chocolate\, stock up on your favourite milk chocolate treats and try not to make yourself feel ill! Just in case you need to justify the calorific intake\, just remember chocolate causes the brain to release endorphins. There’s no wonder a bit of chocolate makes us feel sooooo good and just in case you’re wondering where to begin with the chocolatey celebrations\, i’ll just leave this little gem of an easy chocolate mousse recipe right here………. you’re very welcome! \n \n\n\nEasy Milk Chocolate Mousses URL:https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/national-milk-chocolate-day-2024/ CATEGORIES:Food Awareness,July,US ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.awarenessdays.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/iStock-535414786-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240728 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240729 DTSTAMP:20240625T081850 CREATED:20231008T122008Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231008T122008Z UID:10017296-1722124800-1722211199@www.awarenessdays.com SUMMARY:World Hepatitis Day 2024 DESCRIPTION:What is World Hepatitis Day? \nWorld Hepatitis Day (WHD) takes places every year on 28 July bringing the world together under a single theme to raise awareness of the global burden of viral hepatitis and to influence real change. \nOn World Hepatitis Day\, 28 July\, we call on people from across the world to take action and raise awareness of hepatitis because Hepatitis Can’t Wait. \nWith a person dying every 30 seconds from a hepatitis related illness\, we can’t wait to act on viral hepatitis. \nPeople living with viral hepatitis unaware can’t wait for testing \nPeople living with hepatitis can’t wait for life saving treatments \nExpectant mothers can’t wait for hepatitis screening and treatment \nNewborn babies can’t wait for birth dose vaccination \nPeople affected by hepatitis can’t wait to end stigma and discrimination \nCommunity organisations can’t wait for greater investment \nDecision makers can’t wait and must act now to make hepatitis elimination a reality through political will and funding.

Originally celebrated on 2nd August\, the day was largely viewed cynically by the public as a money making exercise\, sales of friendship day cards did not take off in Europe and by the mid-1940’s the day had faded into obscurity in the USA. The idea of a day to honour friendship was\, however\, adopted by a number of countries in Asia where it remained a popular custom to reserve a day for celebrating friendships and the exchange of gifts between friends. \nThe first World Friendship Day was proposed for 30 July 1958 by the World Friendship Crusade\, an international civil organisation that campaigns to foster a culture of peace through friendship. Many years later\, in 2011\, the 30th July was declared as the International Day of Friendship by the General Assembly of United Nations. \nWith the growing popularity of social media throughout the world\, there has been an increase in celebrating World Friendship day and International Day of Friendship online as well as with community activities in local communities aimed at bringing those of different backgrounds together.

People trafficking and modern day slavery is a massive worldwide problem with very few countries immune to human trafficking\, and the event by the United Nations is to raise awareness and increase prevention of that. \nThousands of men\, women and children end up in the hands of traffickers every year\, often through being tricked and mislead to believe that they are being taken to work that will make their family better off\, or through force\, kidnap\, or even through very poor families selling children in order to survive. There are many ways that people get caught up in trafficking\, but the result is the same\, they lose their rights and identity and are used and abused\, and it is a global problem\, an industry not far behind drugs and arms in terms of profit for traffickers. \nTrafficked people are forced to work\, often doing hard labour or prostitution\, for no reward\, and usually have their identity and documents removed from them and are warned of terrible punishments if they escape\, and often they are taken to unfamiliar countries where they don’t know the language and have no way of getting help\, some die and are never heard of again by their families and communities. \nA global problem like trafficking needs a global solution\, which is why the United Nations organise the World Day against Trafficking in Persons\, to raise awareness encourage vigilance and gain support for prevention of human trafficking\, and also why they have produced a protocol to punish human trafficking and are hoping to implement this globally\, as well as an act to protect victims of trafficking.

National Cheesecake Day is celebrated across the United States on July 30. \nIt is the perfect occasion to have a slice of one of America’s favorite desserts which comes in many different varieties. Cheesecake is a dessert consisting of pie crust and cheese filling (although sometimes it is made without crust). Despite its name\, cheesecake isn’t actually a cake; it may or may not be baked. The base can be made from pastry\, sponge cake\, graham crackers\, or crushed cookies. The cheese filling typically consists of soft cheese (usually cream cheese)\, sugar\, and eggs. \nCheesecake is often flavored. It comes in many flavors such as strawberry\, key like\, pumpkin\, chestnut\, toffee etc. Cheesecakes are sometimes topped with whipped cream\, fresh or canned fruit\, chocolate syrup\, fruit sauce\, nuts. \nThere are several major cheesecake varieties in North America. For instance\, New York style cheesecake is a rich and creamy dessert that contains sour cream or heavy cream. Philadelphia style cheesecake is richer in flavor and lighter in texture. Other cheesecake types include Pennsylvania Dutch style cheesecake\, farmer cheese cheesecake\, country style cheesecake\, and Chicago style cheesecake. \nAlthough the origins of the day are sketchy\, historians say that cheesecake can be traced back to the ancient Greeks. Its thought that the ancient Greek cheesecake was somewhat different to the type we consume today\, but the modern day cheesecake can actually be attributed to the English. \nTo celebrate National Cheesecake Day\, indulge yourself with this delightful dessert. You can make a cheesecake yourself\, or pick it at a local bakery if you don’t feel like baking. Going out to your favorite cheesecake place with your family or friends is also a great way to celebrate.

Waihee III on July 31 and is celebrated annually. \nEstablished as a day to honor the flag\, its history and meaning\, the day was supported by park staff at Pukohola Heiau National Historic Site on the Big Island. One of only 3 sites in Hawaii permitted to fly the flag independently of any other national flag\, the park has significant historical importance. \nThe Flag of Hawaii was designed in 1816 during the reign of King Kamehameha I and finally adopted in 1845. The flag consists of white red and blue stripes\, that attribute to various historical flags of the United Kingdom\, whilst at the same time stripes reminding us of the American flag. A smaller depiction of the flag of the United Kingdom in the left upper corner reminds us about the tight relations of Hawaii with the UK. \nThe Hawaiian flag was changed several times until its final adoption. Originally there were either seven or nine horizontal stripes\, but eight stripes were adopted in 1845 to represent all eight major islands of the state. \nFor Hawaiians\, the flag is a distinguished symbol of the time when alii in the Hawaiian Kingdom could govern with absolute sovereignty. During the overthrow of the monarchy\, Hawaiians incorporated the flag into quilts and wall hangings to pledge their allegiance to a sovereign nation.

The awareness month also celebrates the successes of the different immunizations that have been created in the 20th century and beyond. \nEvery year\, the National Public Health Information Coalition (NPHIC)\, in collaboration with CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases\, has develops a communication toolkit for use in your communities\, schools and work places and encourages people to become involved\, raise awareness and most important of all\, get immunised. There are 4 key messages of the toolkits that produced annually\, these being: \nVaccines protect against serious diseases. \nThese diseases still exist and outbreaks do occur. \nVaccines are recommended throughout our lives. \nVaccines are very safe. \nThere are many debates around the safety of many of the vaccinations available\, however governments across the world\, acting upon the advice of leading scientists and medical professionals overwhelmingly support immunization schemes. Despite this\, the growing voice of the anti immunization supporters ( and some other factors) has lead to a decrease in the number of people becoming vaccinated and there is little surprise that the number of people affected by diseases that in some cases had been eliminated from some countries is on the rise again. \nFor more information about available immunizations visit one of the official websites.

Mustard is a condiment made from the seeds of a mustard plant. The whole\, bruised\, cracked\, or ground seeds are mixed with liquid (water\, lemon juice\, vinegar\, oil)\, salt and sometimes spices to create a sauce or paste. \nSome interesting facts about mustard! \nMustard was first recorded as being prepared by wealthy Romans\, who mixed wine and mustard seeds and added it to their meals. \nAmerica is the country that uses the most mustard in the world\, with yellow mustard (a mild\, American-style condiment\, often used on hot dogs) being the most commonly used. Because of this\, the rest of the world refers to it as American mustard. \nMustard is healthy: its seeds are full of nutrients and antioxidants. They contain selenium\, omega-3 and 6\, potassium\, magnesium and calcium\, which have anti-inflammatory properties and are also supposed to speed up the metabolism and lower blood pressure. \nBefore people began eating mustard\, it was used for medicinal purposes. French monks were known to use mustard to treat their wounds while Greeks used it to relieve muscles\, cure toothaches and stimulate appetite and digestion. A mustard bath is a traditional therapeutic remedy for tired\, stressed muscles\, colds\, fevers and seizures. The mustard was thought to draw out toxins and warm the muscles\, blood and body. It was a standard medical practice up until the first part of the twentieth century and continues to be used in alternative medicine. \nDid you know there is a National Mustard Museum? Opening in 1986 by founder and mustard collector Barry Levenson. The museum opened to the public in 1992 in Mount Hroeb and consists of 5600 prepared mustards from over 70 countries. The museum became the sponsor of National Mustard Day in 1991 which sees events taking place raising thousands of dollars for a local charity. \nWhat better reason to hold a National Mustard Day event? Why not make some hotdogs\, smother them in your favourite mustard and ask people to contribute to your local charity?

On August 4\, 1790 Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton established the Revenue-Marine to serve as an armed customs enforcement service. In 1894\, it was renamed the Revenue Cutter Service. In 1915\, it merged with the U.S. Life-Saving Service. Thus the United States Coast Guard was formed. \nFor those who dont know\, the Coast Guard is an all important maritime first responder; “the principal Federal agency responsible for maritime safety\, security\, and environmental stewardship in U.S. ports and waterways”. \nThe Coast Guards are one of the five Armed Services of the United States\, and the only military branch within the Department of Homeland Security. In addition to its role as an Armed Service\, the Coast Guard is a first responder and humanitarian service that provides aid to people in distress or impacted by natural and man-made disasters whether at sea or ashore. The Coast Guard is a member of the Intelligence Community\, and is a law enforcement and regulatory agency with broad legal authorities associated with maritime transportation\, hazardous materials shipping\, bridge administration\, oil spill response\, pilotage\, and vessel construction and operation. \nCoast Guard Day is mainly an internal event\, however we feel that such is the importance of the work that is carried out byt he Coast Guard\, more should be done to thank\, honor and celebrate them. It is celebrated primarily by Coast Guardsmen\, both active duty and reserve\, as well as retirees\, civilian employees\, dependants\, and auxiliarists. Coast Guard units across the country organize picnics and sport competitions. So why not show your appreciation for those people involved and the service they provide and support any local events that may take place\, or simply educate others about the work they do?

Oysters have been consumed by humans for centuries. They used to be an important food source in coastal areas. \nPollution and overfishing have considerably reduced oyster supplies\, but oysters still remain a popular delicacy. Traditionally\, they are considered to be an aphrodisiac. Oysters are rich in zinc\, calcium\, iron\, selenium\, vitamin A\, and vitamin B12\, but are low in food energy. \nOysters must be either consumed alive or cooked alive. When dead\, they cannot be eaten safely. A live oyster must be capable of closing its shell. Oysters are considered most nutritious when eaten raw. Raw oysters are usually served with a piece of lemon\, vinegar\, or cocktail sauce. Butter and salt are sometimes added. Oysters can also be boiled\, fried\, smoked\, baked\, pickled\, roasted\, broiled\, steamed\, or canned. \nTo celebrate National Oyster Day\, go out to your local seafood restaurant and indulge yourself with either raw or cooked oysters.

Allotments have many benefits. They bring people together and unite them through their shared love of low-cost\, healthy fresh fruit and vegetables\, physical exercise and social interaction. \nAllotments are a valuable resource and both you as individuals and as community groups take immense pride in their up keep and produce. As allotment holders you are already active in your local community. However did you know that there are powers available that can help you and others in your local community shape and improve the neighbourhood in which you live? These powers\, known as Community Rights\, give recognition to valuable community assets such as allotments\, pubs\, local shops and community centres and can help ensure that these assets continue to be of benefit to local people. \nYou are able to list your allotment as an Asset of Community Value and this is where the Community Right to Bid comes in. It can help to protect vital community assets such as allotments in your neighbourhood. Allotments add to the wellbeing of local communities and you and your neighbours can therefore nominate your allotment to be put on a list of Assets of Community Value by your Local Authority. If an Asset of Community Value is then put up for sale\, local community groups can pause‚the sale for six months while they raise the funds to bid to buy it. \nNearly 100 allotments have been listed by local community groups across the country. Are you one of them? If so you can now apply for an ACV Certificate to celebrate your allotment. \nEmail community.assets@communities.gsi.gov.uk for more details about getting a personalised certificate for you to print out and display to let everyone know how much your allotment is valued by your local community. For more information about assets of community value and how to protect them please visithttp://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/community-asset-ownership/ \nThe Department for Communities and Local Government has also produced a simple guide to community rights called You’ve got the power?’ \nYou can also have your say in the way your neighbourhood develops in the future. Neighbourhood planning enables local communities to shape the places where you live and work. Over 1400 communities have started neighbourhood planning in their area and around a third of the neighbourhood plans which are now in force include policies on allotments. If you’re interested to find out how you can get started\, there’s lots of information here: http://mycommunity.org.uk/programme/neighbourhood-planning/ \nIf you’re involved in your local area\, you can also join the My Community Network to chat to experts and connect with others who are also passionate about their community. Through the Network\, you get: \nAccess to live discussions and expert advice on the forum \nInspiration and tips from other people from across the country \nQuick responses to questions about community activity and programmes \nNetworking with like-minded and experienced people \nCoaching and mentoring from experts in the field \nInvitations to free learning hubs and event URL:https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/national-allotments-week-2024/ CATEGORIES:August,Community Awareness,Education Awareness,Environmental Awareness,Family Awareness,Food Awareness,UK ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.awarenessdays.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/iStock-646190406-1-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240813 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240814 DTSTAMP:20240625T081850 CREATED:20231008T122124Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231008T122124Z UID:10017322-1723507200-1723593599@www.awarenessdays.com SUMMARY:National Opportunity Day 2024 DESCRIPTION:What is National Opportunity Day?\nImagine a world where setbacks are simply stepping stones.

But when was the last time you took your cat for a general check up? If the answer is ‘you can’t remember’ then use today as a gentle reminder to get your feline friend booked in for a health check. National Take Your Cat To The Vet Day on August 22nd is the day used to remind cat owners to pay a visit to the Vets. \nAmerican Veterinary Medical Association have over the years established numerous pet health awareness events\, that encourage pet owners to visit the vet. While you may think that your pet cat is at pretty low risk of picking up illnesses\, they can often become infected with dangerous diseases from stray cats\, found roaming the streets. \nWhile keeping your pussy inside is likely to protect your him or her from danger\, you can bring a virus or helminth eggs on your shoes. There are also many common illnesses that cats can develop and that can go unnoticed for a period of time. We know how well loved and cared for your pets are\, but nevertheless\, don’t waste time and take your cat to the vet to find out\, if your pet is in a good health condition. And then give them a special treat for the upheaval!

That’s why we’re launching The Northern Christmas Week to support northern businesses and individuals that missed out on more than just Christmas day. \nWe’re making 16th – 22nd August 2021 the new Christmas 2020. \nLet’s be honest – after the year 2020 turned out to be and with 2021 not starting off much better\, we all need a good dose of that festive cheer. But\, we’re bringing people back together with the spirit of Christmas\, AND giving local businesses a festive boost. \nSure\, we did our best to keep the office Christmas party alive – we’re Northerners\, after all. But while we were forced to party as best we could over Zoom\, our hospitality industry faced over £700m in losses from a lack of Christmas office parties alone. And let’s not even talk about the biggest annual decline of retail sales on record that happened in 2020. \nThat’s why up North we’re declaring 16th – 22nd August 2021 the new Christmas 2020 and we want you to join us! \nThe Northern Christmas is our way of giving back and helping the hospitality industry bounce back – and an excuse for a good knees up. \nIt’s for the Christmas lovers that didn’t get the festive season they deserved. It’s for the person who puts their tree up straight after Halloween. The organisational wizard that has every gift bought and wrapped by Autumn. The social butterfly that dedicates the whole of November to attending every Christmas bash they can wangle an invite to. \nIt’s for the proud owner of an independent retailer that missed out on the Christmas rush. It’s for the bar manager that never got to showcase their ridiculously glittery Christmas cocktail. The restaurant owner that couldn’t wait to welcome every extended\, dysfunctional and downright bonkers family through their doors to make Christmas dinner memories that last a lifetime. \nIt’s for everyone who doesn’t believe Christmas 2020 should be a write-off\, just because it didn’t happen on December 25th. \nLet’s make August 2021 a Northern Christmas we’ll never forget. \nHowever you choose to celebrate\, we want to hear about it. Let us know how you’re celebrating and supporting your local businesses on social media\, using the hashtag #MyNorthernChristmas \nWant to celebrate directly with us? We’re hosting a PARTY too!

Crude oil and other liquids produced from fossil fuels are refined into petroleum products that people use for many different purposes. Biofuels\, such as ethanol and biodiesel\, are also used as petroleum products\, mainly in mixtures with gasoline and diesel fuel \nPetroleum was discovered by Edwin L. Drake on August 27\, 1858 in Titusville\, Pennsylvania. He struck oil 70 feet beneath the surface in Titusville\, thus launching the modern-day petroleum industry in the USA. This event is very important for the history of Titusville\, because since the discovery of crude oil the region became prosperous. \nAlthough used for many different types of product in many different industries\, we need to consider the fact the world will eventually run out of petrol reserves and we therefore need to find kinder alternatives and substitutes. A highly contentious issue\, this is a subject that we should not ignore and continue to learn more about. \nYou could get involved in the day by considering what products you use in your lives that use petroleum and attempting to find kinder alternatives. You could also research more about the effect on the world our petroleum consumption has\, and what is being done in your areas to minimise and risks.

This is an annual international awareness month to raise support\, funding and awareness of childhood cancers and the impact for sufferers and families of sufferers of childhood cancer. It was founded in 2010 by former US President Barack Obama and is mainly run in the form of awareness events by cancer charities. \nA Month of Movement is a September initiative that aims to encourage you to move more for the month of September and raise vital funds for research into children’s cancers as you go. \nChildhood cancer is devastating to growth and development in children\, and devastating to their families and friends. At a time when young people should be focusing on school\, play and socialising\, if they have cancer\, their focus can be on medication\, operations\, and what life they have left. \nParents of childhood cancer sufferers have the anguish of watching their children suffer\, and the stress of decisions on medications and treatments as well as decisions on time of work for themselves and time off school for the child\, and worst\, trying to explain to a child what is happening to them and answering the resulting questions on life and faith\, and worst of all is the loss of a child to cancer\, a devastation that can never be put right. \nSome forms of cancer are mainly or exclusively only seen in children\, and that is something highlighted by the awareness month. Children can be more resilient to cancer and cancer treatments than adults\, and there are many cases of triumph and complete recovery\, where children make a complete recovery and grow up to normal life. But awareness\, education and support are vital\, which is why Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is also vital. \nWhen is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month / A Month of Movement 2024?\nA Month of Movement takes place each September from the 1st until the 30th. \nHow to get involved in A Month of Movement.\nYoung Lives Vs Cancer are one of the charities asking you to move an extra 30 minutes each day for 30 days in the hope of raising awareness and funds and encouraging healthy habits as an added bonus.

Throughout the month\, teams of experts and patients aim to increase public awareness of all urological cancers\, diseases and conditions that affect the kidney\, bladder\, prostate and male reproductive organs. As well as highlighting the symptoms associated with such diseases the month looks to also talk about the impact they have on all aspects of a persons life. \nWe set up Urology Awareness Month because there is a lot of stigma surrounding urology health. From testicular cancer to UTIs\, male infertility to incontinence\, urology health is often a hard subject for people to open up about. \nOur goal with Urology Awareness Month is to break down the stigma around urology health. We know that catching a urology disease early is crucial in order to get the right treatment quicker. So\, the more openly we can talk about urology health\, the better. \nSo\, join us each September as we scream and shout about urology health. No one should feel they have to deal with these diseases in silence. \nFind out more here .

The event has been running since 2012\, and September 21st is World Alzheimer’s Day. \nGlobally there is thought to be poor understanding and a great deal of stigma surrounding dementia\, so the work of World Alzheimer’s Month is vital and is growing and targeting the stigma and lack of understanding and knowledge surrounding Alzheimer’s disease and dementia as well as supporting those suffering with the disease. \nThe month is an opportunity for individuals\, businesses and charities to hold events and raise awareness in their communities of the effects of dementia.

All organic food companies and farms are inspected yearly to ensure that they meet the high standards required for organic food under European law. \nWhen you buy organic you can be sure that the products you are buying: \nContain no artificial additives or preservatives. \nContain fewer pesticides. There are only 20 pesticides that can be used by organic farmers all of which are derived from natural ingredients. This is compared to almost 300 pesticides used in regular farming. \nConform to high standards of animal welfare. \nContain no genetically modified ingredients. \nHave been produced in a way that is sustainable. \nIt’s easy to get involved\, just look for the organic logo or why not think about growing your own! The Soil Association says that by switching just one item in your shop to organic will help contribute to changing our food system\, buying more organic food means more organic farms so fewer pesticides which is better for our wildlife and means more farm animals raised under higher welfare standards.

And that for most people a blood stem cell donation from a stranger with similar DNA is their best – or only – chance of survival? \nThis Blood Cancer Awareness Month\, we want to find out if you’ve got it in you to be a lifesaver-in-waiting. \nTake the first step towards saving a life and request a swab kit – or help support us to do so by covering the costs of registration.

Poverty presents an enormous global challenge for the international community\, as is a significant threat to sustainable development. In the spirit of global solidarity\, the 2030 Agenda is focused on how best to meet the needs of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable citizens and acknowledges the role that the private sector must play in supporting the various organizations who have undertaken philanthropic efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda.\nPoverty exists in every country around the globe\, from powerful industrial nations to developing countries. It continues to affect millions of people\, regardless of their social and cultural situations\, and is a barrier to true prosperity and equality. \nIn recognition of the significant role that charities and individuals have undertaken to alleviate human suffering and humanitarian crises\, the UN General Assembly\, under resolution A/RES/67/105PDF\, has designated the 5th of September as the International Day of Charity. This date was chosen as it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa\, and the resolution is\, in part\, a tribute to her work and dedication to charitable causes. \nThis 5th of September\, the United Nations invites all Member States\, international and regional organisations\, non-governmental organisations and individuals alike to commemorate the International Day of Charity by encouraging charitable acts in their respective communities to raise public awareness of this event.

Hot cross buns are spiced sweet buns made with raisins or currants. They are so named because they are marked with a cross on the top. Hot cross buns are surrounded by many superstitions in English folklore. \nFor example\, buns baked on Good Friday are believed to have healing properties. Sailors used to take hot cross buns on their voyages to protect themselves against shipwreck. People also used to believe that a hot cross bun hung in the kitchen could protect the house against fires. The handing bun needed to be replaced once a year.Hot cross buns are popular in English-speaking countries. Some countries have local variations of these pastry. \nFor example\, in the UK supermarkets offer apple-cinnamon\, orange-cranberry\, and toffee buns. In Australian and New Zealand\, chocolate and coffee-flavored versions of the bun have become popular. \nIf you like buns and don’t want to wait until Easter to enjoy them\, you should definitely celebrate the National Hot Cross Buns Day by baking a batch of buns and treating your family\, friends\, neighbors and coworkers.

It was first observed in 2002\, after the proclamation by President George W. Bush.\nOn September 11\, 2001 al-Qaeda launched a series of coordinated terrorist attacks upon the United States\, killing almost 3\,000 people. In the immediate aftermath of the tragic events\, President proclaimed September 14\, 2001 as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the Terrorist Attacks on September 11\, 2001. A year later\, September 11 was made a national day of mourning referred to as Patriot Day. This observance has been proclaimed annually since 2002. \nIn 2009\, President Barack Obama rededicated it as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance. It is not a public holiday therefore government offices\, educational institutions and businesses do not close on this day. On Patriot Day\, the national flag is flown at half-mast on all United States government buildings and establishments. Individuals are also encouraged to display flags on their homes. \nA moment of silence is traditionally observed at 8:46 AM. Many organizations and establishments hold memorial ceremonies to honor the victims of 9/11.

Three-digit emergency telephone numbers originated in the UK in 1937. The emergency telephone number used in the United States was created by the Federal Communications Commission and AT&T in 1968. \nThe combination 9-1-1 was chosen because it was brief\, easy to remember and dial. The first 9-1-1 call was placed on February 16\, 1968 in Haleyville\, Alabama although it wasn’t to report a crime or request emeergency responder help! Alabama Speaker of the House\, Rankin Fite\, made the first call from another city hall room. It was answered by Congressman Tom Bevill on a bright red telephone located in the police department. Also on hand was Haleyville Mayor James Whitt\, Public Service Commission President Eugene (Bull) Connor\, and B. W. Gallagher. \nIn the same year 9-1-1 officially became the national emergency number for the USA. However\, it became widely known only in the 1970s. \nAll 9-1-1 calls are answered by special call centers known as public-safety answering points (PSAPs). Calling this number provides callers access to police\, ambulance\, and firefighting services through trained dispatchers.9-1-1 Emergency Number Day is observed on September 11. This date was selected because the numbers 9-1-1 correspond to September 11 in the month-day date format. Since 2001\, the importance of the Emergency Number Day has declined due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and subsequent proclamation of Patriot Day as a national observance.

Many people aren’t managing their eczema as well as they could and we all need a nudge sometimes to make some improvements! Eczema is a highly personal condition and people respond differently to triggers and treatments. Sometimes you need to try a few things before finding a self-management regimen that works best for you. Here are our seven top tips: \n1. Keep your home cool to ease itching around 18C is ideal. \n2. Go fragrance-free. Anything with a strong scent\, from soap to air freshener\, may be irritating to your skin. \n3. Mind the gap! Leave at least 10 minutes or ideally longer between applying an emollient and a topical steroid. This stops the steroid spreading to areas of skin unaffected by eczema or being diluted. It doesn’t matter which is applied first. \n4. Pinch itchy skin rather than scratching it\, to avoid damaging the skin’s barrier. \n5. Use your emollients at least twice a day to prevent dryness\, and at other times whenever your skin feels dry and itchy. \n6. Go back to basics on skincare. Check with a healthcare professional for advice to make sure you’re applying your creams properly and managing your eczema triggers as best you can. \n7. Don’t cut foods out of your diet without medical advice unless you or your child have been diagnosed with a food allergy. If you cut foods without support\, you/they may miss out on important nutrients. \nFor more advice on managing your eczema call the National Eczema Society Helpline on 0800 089 1122 (8am-8pm\, Monday-to-Friday) or email your questions to helpline@eczema.org.

With low awareness of male cancer and the number of men diagnosed each year rising\, the annual campaign is more important than ever.\nEach year we highlight health messages about the three male specific cancers to improve awareness and give opportunities for men\, families and healthcare professionals to learn about male cancer and improve their understanding of the signs and symptoms. Through the promotion of our services and resources we hope men and their families will gain a better understanding of where to go for help and treatment. \nThe thirteenth annual Orchid Male Cancer Awareness Week will take place from the 11th – 17th September 2024.

The event is run by the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS)\, which is a registered charity.\nRA awareness week gives supporters an opportunity to help to raise awareness of the condition in a number of ways\, including doing video recordings of themselves discussing the impact of the disease. Another awareness opportunity is for participants to run information stands in public places and hospitals and putting up posters. NRAS offers participants information packs and helps to promote their events. \nRA is a painful autoimmune disease that affects joints as the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the lining of the joints\, leading to inflammation and stiffness\, and it isn’t restricted to joints\, it also affects the body’s organs\, for example heart and lungs. The condition is seen in women more than in men\, and affects approximately 1% of the UK population. It is a hidden condition\, meaning that people do not always realise that sufferers are living with the disease. \nThe condition is not the same arthritis that affects older people\, which is known as osteoarthritis\, but can affect people of any age\, and can either have an early onset\, in teenage years\, or start at any time in an adult’s life. There is no known cure\, but advances in medicine mean that treatment can be very effective in reducing pain and symptoms.

In 1911\, Iowa became the first state to recognize the anniversary of this event as Constitution Day. In 1917\, a committee formed by the Sons of the American Revolution started promoting this day. \nThe law establishing the present holiday was enacted in 2004. On this day\, all federal agencies and publicly funded educational establishments are required to provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution. When Constitution Day falls on a weekend or another holiday\, its observation is moved to the closest weekday.

Like most HIV/AIDS-related awareness days\, it is supported by AIDS.gov\, an internet portal for all federal domestic HIV and AIDS resources and information.\nAccording to the information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)\, people aged 55 and older accounted for 26% of the 1.2 million people living with HIV (diagnosed or undiagnosed) in the U.S. in 2013. Older patients are often diagnosed late in the course of infection\, which leads to shorter HIV-to-AIDS intervals. In 2014\, about 40% of people aged 55 and older were diagnosed with AIDS at the time of HIV diagnosis. \nIn addition\, thanks to the huge advancement in medical science\, more and more people are living longer than ever before therefore there is an increased need to understand the impact of the aging process upon those living with HIV/Aids. \nThere are several reasons for late diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in older people. Medical institutions are less focused on testing older people\, while people aged 55 and older think that they are not exposed to the risk of infections or confuse the early symptoms of HIV with the signs of aging. \nNational HIV/AIDS and Aging Awareness Day was launched to raise public awareness of the challenges that older Americans diagnosed with HIV have to face\, as well as of the importance of HIV prevention\, testing\, care\, and treatment among people aged 55 and older. \nShow your support for this campaign.

If you’re here to get all the deets about when it is\, why it is and what to do for it\, then keep on reading! \nOrigins \nThis celebration was started in June 1995 (more than twenty years ago!) A innovative Ol’ Chumbucket and Cap’n Slappy (formally known as John Baur and Mark Summers) sat down and decided to start the holiday as a fun way to dress up as pirates and talk like them too! \nThis day offers an opportunity to not only mess around but to give something back. People can dress up as pirates and raise money for charities\, what’s better than that!? \nWhat Do I do? \nThis part is easy. Make sure you grab yourself an eye patch\, bandana\, baggy shirt and a little toy parrot or monkey. Make sure you use awful grammar and jump right into that accent. You could even have a pirate-themed party with edible gold coins and balloon sword fights! Don’t forget to get out Treasure Island or Pirates of the Caribbean if you’re not feeling as academic. \nPublic Service Announcement \nThough this is a pirate imitation day\, please do not pillage\, steal or brawl.

It is one of the six national observances when the POW/MIA Flag can be flown. The other five observances are Armed Forces Day\, Memorial Day\, Flag Day\, Independence Day\, and Veterans Day. The POW/MIA flag was created by the National League of Families in 1972 and was officially recognized by the Congress in 1990. It is a symbol of concern about United States military personnel taken as POW or listed as MIA. The POW/MIA flag should be no larger than the United States flag. It is typically flown immediately below or adjacent to the national flag as second in the order of precedence. \nOn National POW/MIA Recognition Day\, the flag is flown on the grounds of major military installations\, veterans memorials\, government agencies\, federal national cemeteries. \nIn the armed forces\, a single table and chair draped with the POW/MIA flag are displayed in mess halls and dining halls. Such installation symbolises the hope for the return of these who are missing in action.

Litter data collected drives our conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC).\nThis year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 15th – Sunday 24th September 2024. \nOn every clean we ask people to run a litter survey: recording all the items of rubbish they find in a 100m stretch. We use this data to campaign for change. \nAnd we have seen some great results – the plastic bag charge\, banning microplastics in personal care products\, better wet wipe labelling\, and supporting a tax on single-use plastic items. \nBut there is still so much to do to stop the litter plaguing our beaches. \n425 litter items found per 100m of beach surveyed at last year’s Great British Beach Clean \n30% of beach cleans last year found face masks and PPE \n55% drop in plastic bags found on UK beaches since 5p charge introduced \nBut it’s not job done. We need to gather more and more data to wage war on other types of beach litter\, and you can help. \nWant to run your own beach clean event?

In 2024 the day falls on September 10th. The day is designed to encourage participation of American citizens in the cleanup of federal lands.\nThe observance was established in 1985 as the Federal Lands National Cleanup Day. Founder Carl Garner\, an engineer\, organized the clean up of the areas around his place of work\, Greers Ferry Lake\, by local citizens. His program became nationally acclaimed and even received the Keep America Beautiful Award twice. On Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day various activities\, ceremonies\, and programs take place in order to continue public and private sector cooperation in preserving the beauty and safety of these areas; increase people’s sense of ownership and community pride in these areas; reduce litter along federal lands; and maintain and improve trails\, recreation areas\, waterways\, and facilities. \nThis observance aims to raise citizens’ awareness of the problem of litter and encourage them to preserve the environment during the entire year.

However\, many adults have missed out on the digital revolution and feel left behind. The aim of National Coding Week is to give adults the opportunity to learn some digital skills. \nWe want to create taster sessions for parents\, teachers\, business leaders\, school leavers\, the unemployed\, people with autism or those who have retired. It’s open to everyone! We are not expecting people to become coders after one session! For many people it takes years of practice and experience but these taster sessions can be the first step on a journey into a digital business or digital career. \nChildren can inspire adults \nChildren are learning digital skills in school or through coding clubs such as CoderDojos. We therefore would like these clubs to open their doors to parents for a one-off session in which the children will teach the adults some of the skills they have learnt. \nLibraries can act as focal points \nLibraries are in an ideal position to act as a focal point and can host a coding session. Either the staff can lead the session or someone who is confident and familiar with coding from the local community can share their skills. Read CILIP’s blog: Libraries‚ how they can improve our Digital Literacy \nSchools and Code Clubs can get involved \nChildren are learning coding but many parents don’t understand what their children are doing and many non-specialist teachers and governors feel they have missed out on these skills. \nThis year in partnership with Makewaves we are offering children the opportunity to learn and share new skills by collecting digital badges. \nShare Your Skills \nShare Your Skills Badge involves planning a digital skills lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Create a simple lesson plan of what you will be teaching your class. The lesson‚can be any time from 15 minutes to 60 minutes and it can be taught by a single person or a group of 5 maximum. Each individual needs to have a clear role. \nStay Safe Online \nStay Safe Online Badge involves planning a stay safe online lesson and delivering it to your class mates. Research a stay safe online topic\, examples are listed below but you could choose any topic that is important to you: \nData Protection | Cyber Security | Social Media Management | Privacy settings | Passwords management | Knowing who you are communicating with (stranger danger) \nFor more details check out the National Coding Week / Makewaves Digital Badges \nWeb\, app\, creative and digital businesses can throw open their doors \nThose with the expertise can share their skills and have fun teaching people the basics of coding. There are many training organisations who offer courses throughout the year. They can contribute to the week by offering taster sessions to encourage people to sign-up. \nTech Hubs \nThere are hundreds of tech hubs with amazing businesses working from them.

Like other awareness campaigns\, this campaign aims to inspire and educate people on the importance of eye health and why they should go for regular sight tests. \nMany people often fear losing vision; yet take minimal steps in caring for their eyes. This is what the National Eye Health Week aims to change. Having said that\, here are some of the interesting facts about eye health you may not know. \nAbout 2 million persons are living with severe sight loss in UK\, that can significantly impact their daily activities. Half of this population’s sight loss is avoidable. \nA sight test easily detects the early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma\, which can be treated soon. During any sight test\, other health conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected. \nTo maintain healthy eyes\, you should eat well\, avoid smoking and wear eye protection during bright sunlight. \nThe importance of eye sight towards the overall wellbeing\, independence and quality of life of an individual is too important to be ignored. This is why eye care charities\, health professionals and organisations across the UK are encouraged to join together during this week to promote the importance of eye health and need for regular tests.

National Punctuation Day was created by Jeff Rubin in 2004 to emphasize the vital role of punctuation marks in written English. In the English language\, the simple differences in punctuation can produce the sharp differences in meaning\, that is why correct punctuation is so important. \nThere are two major styles of punctuation in the English language: British (logical punctuation) and American (traditional punctuation). They differ primarily in the way they handle quotation marks. The rest of the basic punctuation rules are essentially the same in all varieties of English. Sadly these rules are often ignored\, which may lead to misunderstanding. Punctuation is as important as any other aspect of the written language. That is why Rubin founded National Punctuation Day.National Punctuation Day is marked with special lessons at schools\, contests\, fundraisers\, and other appropriate events and activities. \nIn 2006\, Jeff Rubin and his wife\, Norma\, launched Punctuation Playtime. It is a program for elementary school students that focuses on reinforcing important punctuation lessons.

Unsweetened pancakes can be served with sides such as eggs\, bacon\, or sausage. \nTo celebrate the National Pancake Day on September 26\, cook your favorite kind of pancakes for breakfast.
