Labor Day in New Zealand
New Zealand is different from other countries. The democratic country is a “worker’s paradise.” New Zealand had to go a long way to win this title. Many residents of the country fought for their working rights, which is why this day is dedicated to “Labor Day”. This holiday is celebrated annually on the fourth Monday of October.
Many people know that New Zealand workers defended their right to an eight-hour work schedule. This process ended quite successfully. A few years later, the government made a decision and satisfied the workers’ demands.
Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah
Simchat Torah and Shemini Atzeret conclude the fall Jewish holidays. As it is said in the Torah, on the 8th day from the beginning of the holiday of Sukkot there will be another holiday. The name comes from the fact that on the eighth day someone was detained. An example is given that supposedly the king invited his children to a seven-day feast.
After the time for parting came, the king said: “Children, please stay for one more day.” Likewise, the Torah says that on the eighth day the promised holiday will come.

Today global community celebrates United Nations Day.
It was on this day in 1945 that the UN Charter, signed on June 26, 1945 in San Francisco, came into force. The United Nations officially came into being with the ratification of this fundamental document by the majority of its participants, including the five permanent members of the Security Council. As is known, the UN is a universal international organization whose activities are aimed at ensuring international security and peace; it organizes cooperation and supports the development of friendly relations between states. The fundamental principles of the organization are the sovereign equality of states, non-interference in their internal affairs, peaceful resolution of contradictions, compliance by states with international obligations, and collective participation of members of the organization in UN operations. Ukraine was among the 51 founding states of the UN. UN Day has been celebrated since 1948. In 1971, the UN General Assembly recommended that member states observe this day as a public holiday.
At the same time, today World Polio Day, which has been celebrated since 2012 on the initiative of the international non-governmental non-religious and non-political charitable organization Rotary (Rotary International) and under the auspices of World Organization health (WHO). The date of this international day was not chosen by chance - on October 24, 1914, Jonas Salk, an American epidemiologist and virologist who developed the first vaccine against polio - spinal paralysis - was born. Polio is highly contagious infectious disease caused by the polio virus. The virus affects nervous system and can lead to paralysis or even death within hours. There is no cure for polio. Immunization is the only way to protect against the disease. Safe and effective vaccines exist, and they are important in protecting children from polio. The vaccination is carried out several times and protects the child for life. Since 1988, the number of polio cases worldwide has decreased by 99%, and today only three countries have epidemic transmission of the virus. Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan remain endemic. In 1994, South and North America became the first polio-free areas. Six years later, doctors and scientists managed to officially eradicate the disease in another 36 countries of the Pacific region, including China and Australia, and two years later, Europe also left the risk zone, defeating polio in 2002. Despite the fact that this dangerous disease almost defeated, from time to time foci of the disease arise. WHO notes that complete liquidation this disease will save more than US$40 billion over the next five years. As long as there is at least one infected child in the world, children in all countries will be at risk of contracting polio. Ukraine is one of the few countries in the world with a high risk of a polio outbreak due to low immunization coverage among children. Powerful anti-vaccination lobbying, skepticism and public misinformation about vaccinations in Ukraine are among the reasons for the rapid decline in immunization coverage. According to a UNICEF survey, only 46% of the population has a positive attitude towards immunization. This has already led to outbreaks infectious diseases V Lately in Ukraine, such as measles, rubella, whooping cough, mumps (mumps).
Anniversaries of the day:
385 years since birth Anthony van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723), famous Dutch naturalist. Born into the family of a basket maker. His father died when Antonio was 6 years old. His uncle taught the future naturalist the basics of mathematics and physics. The guy studied at the suburban gymnasium of Leiden. At the age of 16, he went to Amsterdam to become an accountant, but instead found work in a haberdashery store. There he first saw the simplest microscope (a magnifying glass that was mounted on a small tripod), which was used by textile workers during their painstaking work. Subsequently, he will buy the same one for himself. After living in Antwerp, Leeuwenhoek returned to his hometown of Delft. He buys a shop and engages in the trade of textiles and haberdashery. Grinding optical glass was his hobby. And I must say that he achieved great perfection in this matter. The lenses he made, which he set into metal holders, gave 150-300x magnification. With the help of such “microscopes,” Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe and sketch sperm, bacteria, red blood cells, individual plant and animal cells, eggs, embryos and other parts and organs of more than 200 species of plants and animals. He described his observations in letters (almost 300), which he sent mainly to the London royal society, of which he himself had been a member since 1680. Leeuwenguk lived a fairly long life - 91 years. He was a contemporary (and peer) of the philosopher Baruch Spinoza and the artist Jan Wermeer of Delft. I was friends with the latter; their houses in Delft were almost next to each other.
150 years since birth Nikolai Fedotovich Bilyashivsky (1867-1926), Ukrainian archaeologist, ethnographer, art critic. In 1902-1923. headed the Kiev Historical Museum (then called the Kiev City Art, Industrial and Scientific Museum). He explored archaeological sites in Ukraine from the Stone Age to the early Middle Ages. The scientist did a lot for the development of museums in Ukraine. In 1910, he became one of the founders of the Kyiv Society for the Protection of Antiquities and Art, whose activities extended to all Ukrainian lands. He searched for and collected manuscripts and artistic heritage of Taras Shevchenko. He was buried in Kanev.
78 years since birth Lesya (Lyudmila) Vasilievna Dychko (1939), Ukrainian composer, one of the most famous choral composers in Ukraine. People's Artist of Ukraine (1995), laureate of the State Prize of Ukraine. T. Shevchenko (1989). Author of the cantata “Red Viburnum”, the oratorios “The Four Seasons”, “India-Lakshmi”, the ballets “Predawn Lights”, “Ekaterina Bilokur”; symphonies, liturgies. As Irina Sikorskaya aptly puts it, Lesya Dychko “paints her choral pictures, making familiar colors glow in many shades, creating the finest sound coloristic weaving. And with every sound it testifies: only a Ukrainian could write like that!” Conductor Valery Matyukhin called Lesya Vasilievna “the Ukrainian musical Kuindzhi.” Lesya Dychko was born into a family of intelligent, musically gifted parents, who immediately showed their daughter’s extraordinary musical abilities. Her grandparents were repressed, her father was raised in an orphanage. As the artist recalls, her father had perfect pitch (played Chopin by heart), and her mother drew beautifully. The girl graduated from Kyiv Children's Music School No. 2, extended her studies at the secondary specialized music school named after N.V. Lysenko. After ten years there was a conservatory and graduate school, where, among other famous teachers, her mentors were Konstantin Dankevich in Kyiv and Nikolai Ivanovich Peiko in Moscow. In addition to the conservatory, Lesya Dychko studied at the art and theater institutes. Since childhood, she has been very cheerful and optimistic. Relatives and friends called her “an eternal dreamer.” She has not lost these qualities to this day. The composer herself cannot imagine her life without music: “I have a very happy destiny. I gave my whole life to music. I if I were offered to start all over again, I would choose music again. Music, music and only music."
