Holidays September 3

Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism

Terrorism is one of the most dangerous and large-scale threats to human life. Ideological militants and suicide fanatics do not just kill and maim. In their desire to gain power, they make a public outcry by any means, they try to influence the psychological state of people. In order to counter this ideology of violence, a memorial date has been established in the Russian Federation.

When they celebrate

The Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism is celebrated annually in the Russian Federation on September 3. Thanks to the country's President V. Putin, on July 21, 2005, he was added to the list of memorable dates with an amendment to federal law No. 32-FZ "On the days of military glory (victory days) of Russia" dated March 13, 1995.

Who is celebrating

September 3 is a day of mourning for all victims of terrorist attacks, as well as those who died while doing their duty during rescue operations. On the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism, residents of the Russian Federation bring flowers to the monuments and memorials of those who died at the hands of terrorists, take part in mourning processions and events, remembering all the victims. This reflects the cohesion of society and the state against this ideology of violence, which is a threat on an international scale.

DNA Uniqueness Discovery Day

On September 3, 1984, British geneticist Alec Jeffreys discovered that each person's DNA is inimitable and unique, just like fingerprints are unique.

As the inventor himself noted, it was like a revelation. He was looking at x-rays of DNA and suddenly saw that the DNA strands were different. Jeffreys called them "genetic fingerprints". This is how "genetic fingerprinting" was born. With the help of "genetic fingerprints" it is possible to establish kinship, prove involvement in a crime, or vice versa - to help people who are imprisoned due to a judicial error go free - there are already quite a few such examples.

The first field of practical application of this discovery was criminalistics. To traditional fingerprinting - determining the identity of a person by fingerprint - was added genetic fingerprinting - determining personality by hair, saliva on a cigarette filter, or a particle of skin, or a drop of blood. Indeed, in any human biomaterial there is DNA. And as the scientist established, it is unique for each of us. This has become a new stage in the development of forensic science.

Alec Jeffreys proposed to introduce mandatory entry into the genetic database of all citizens of Britain. This would greatly help the work of the police. The database should store only the minimum information that is necessary to identify a person, and the samples themselves should be destroyed. According to Jeffreys, this is necessary so that forensic scientists cannot extract information about nationality, hair and eye color from genes. Thus, the police will have to first prove that the DNA found at the crime scene matches the entry in the database, and only then get information about the person, and not use the clues of geneticists if they do not already have a suspect.

Thaddeus the Preacher

The folk holiday "Thaddeus the Preacher" is celebrated on September 3 (according to the old style - August 21). On this day, the Orthodox Church venerates the apostle from the 70th Thaddeus and the martyr Vassa of Alon. Both of them came from the Syrian city of Edessa. Other names of the holiday: "Thaddeus Day", "Thaddeus", "Flax", "Vasilisa".

The Apostle Thaddeus, having been baptized, became one of the 70 disciples sent by the Savior to the cities he wanted to visit. After the crucifixion of Christ, Thaddeus returned to his homeland, where he continued to carry the word of God. Many people accepted the Christian faith through his lessons. The priests and even Prince Avgar could not resist, which was facilitated by many miracles during the lessons of the apostle. After himself, Thaddeus left two temples - one in Edessa, the other - in Virit.

The Holy Martyr Vassa lived during the reign of Emperor Maximian. Being slandered by her husband, she was forced to watch the sophisticated torture of her three sons, whom she raised in love for God. After her death, the children experienced many of the tortures on themselves, but did not renounce the faith. For this, the hegemon of Macedon ordered the beheading of the martyr.

From that day on, the traditional flax harvesting began. According to legend, there is some good power that looks after the fields and does not let children play among the flax. The people called her the Linen. People who have met Flaxseed describe her as a fair-haired girl with bright blue eyes. She will definitely tell a good owner the moment when the flax is ripe and can be harvested. Therefore, among the people, the holiday was called "Flax".

During the harvesting of flax, the peasant women said: "Baba Vasilisa cares about flax." Having compressed the flax, it was laid out in the meadows - for the sake of "laying down", in other words, so that excess moisture would come out of it, and it would become soft and flexible. At the same time, each woman uttered a conspiracy: “Lie down, my lenok, white and soft, do not be afraid of the wind, or the whirlwind, or the frequent rain, or the red sun.”

In Rus', flax has been cultivated since ancient times as one of the most popular plants. It was grown in order to subsequently obtain linen fabric after appropriate processing. Among the Slavs, the most common clothing was linen clothing. Such clothes were recommended for people with a hot nature, as well as in dry and hot weather. Linen fabric helped well with scabies and increased sweating. From flax, our ancestors produced canvas, fishing tackle, ropes, linseed oil, which was used both for cooking and for the treatment of various diseases.

bra birthday

Where did the bra come from? Well, of course, in France. Back in 1889, the wealthy feminist Ermini Cadoll unveiled her invention at the World Exhibition in Paris. It was a version of the corset with two cotton cups equipped with straps. The chest was split in the middle - a real know-how! The idea was approved by the doctor Gosh Saro. She made it by cutting the corset in half: the top half became a bra, the bottom half became a belt. The model was tested at the Paris Medical Academy. The first portfolio of bras appeared in 1907 in Vogue magazine.

And the first patent for the invention of a bra was acquired by American Mary Phelps Jacob on September 3, 1914. Often it is she who is credited with the authorship of the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bcreating a bra. There is a version that she made the first bra from handkerchiefs.

The most expensive bra in the world costs $12.5 million. It has 3,900 precious stones, including diamonds and rubies.

For the first time the phrase "underwear" appeared at the end of the nineteenth century.

Your bra size should have a medium hook-and-loop fastening, and two fingers should fit freely between the fabric and the body.

According to the recommendations of mammologists, push-up bras with a push-out effect should not be worn for more than six hours a day.

The red color of women's underwear is in first place in popularity among men.

Stretch marks on the chest are very often the result of an improperly fitted bra.

The largest bra in the world was made by the Japanese company "Triumph international" in September 1990, its size corresponds to the 28th bust size. It took 70 meters of fabric to make.

The Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism is one of the memorable dates in Russia. The day is celebrated on September 3rd. This is the newest memorable date in Russia, established by the federal law "On the days of military glory (victory days) of Russia" dated July 6, 2005. It is connected with the tragic events in Beslan on September 1-3, 2004.

On September 3, it is customary in Russia to remember the victims of terrorist attacks, as well as law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty.

Holidays September 3, 2017 in Russia

• Day of solidarity in the fight against terrorism. This memorable date for Russia was established in 2005 by the federal law "On the Days of Military Glory of Russia" and is associated with the tragic events in Beslan (North Ossetia, September 1-3, 2004), when militants seized one of the city's schools. As a result of the terrorist attack in school number 1, more than three hundred people died, including more than 150 children. Today, remembering the victims of Beslan and Budyonnovsk, the seizure of the theater center on Dubrovka and the explosions of residential buildings in Moscow, Buynaksk and Volgodonsk, and all terrorist attacks, as well as law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty, we are united in our intention to resist with all our might terrorism, both national and international, to prevent this criminal insanity from spreading. A mandatory condition for terrorism is the resonance of a terrorist action in society. Public response to a terrorist act is necessary for terrorists to change public sentiment. Attacks affect mass psychology. Terrorist organizations demonstrate their strength and readiness to go to the end, sacrificing both their own lives and the lives of victims. The terrorist loudly declares that in this society, in this world there is a force that under no circumstances will accept the existing order of things and will fight it to victory, or to its end. But, on the other hand, at present, the anti-terrorist movement is being activated all over the world, the level of knowledge is rising in order to resolutely resist terror of all stripes and prevent either a second Beslan, or a second September 11, or those major terrorist attacks that occurred in December 2013 in Volgograd, when in less than a day two explosions thundered at the Volgograd railway station and in the city trolley bus, killing 34 people. The vigilance and responsibility of each of us constitute the arsenal of the anti-terrorist coalition. We must remember that any person, regardless of their position, can suddenly become involved in a tragedy. And traditionally, various commemorative events, charity concerts and educational events are timed to coincide with this day in different cities of the country. After all, it is important to remember that terrorism should not only and not so much be fought as it should be prevented. It is not for the sake of beautiful words that we are talking about the need to respect cultural and confessional characteristics, the right to preserve their own identity for all peoples inhabiting the Russian Federation. Only tolerance and mutual respect will prevent the growth of the social base of terrorism and deprive criminals of hope for support in society. This is the best prevention of extremist sentiments.
• Day of workers in the oil, gas and fuel industry (Day of the oilman). On the first Sunday of September, a number of countries of the former USSR celebrate the Day of Oil, Gas and Fuel Industry Workers. This holiday is dedicated to all workers in the oil, gas and fuel industry, it first appeared in the USSR in 1980, when the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree on the establishment of this professional holiday. With the collapse of the USSR, the Day of Oil, Gas and Fuel Industry Workers, some member countries of the union moved the date of this holiday to other days, others changed the name of the holiday, and still others completely abolished it. But still, Russia, Armenia, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan continue to celebrate the holiday on the same day and under the same name as before. The professional holiday of workers in the oil, gas and fuel industries is also celebrated on the first Sunday of September in Kazakhstan and Moldova. In Kazakhstan, the holiday was called "The Day of Oil and Gas Complex Workers", and in Moldova - "The Day of the Gas Sector Worker".

• Holiday in the Republic of Moldova September 3, 2017 - Day of the National Army. The Armed Forces of Moldova were created by decree of the President of Moldova No. 193 of September 3, 1991 "On the formation of the Armed Forces". This day in Moldova is celebrated as the "Day of the National Army of the Republic of Moldova". In the Moldavian Principality, the so-called "small army" was a regular military force. It numbered about 10 thousand people and consisted of the Gospodar army, separate boyar detachments and mercenaries. The "large army" (about 40 thousand people) was convened in cases of special need and consisted of the majority of the male population capable of bearing arms. After the formation of the Moldavian SSR in 1940, residents were called up for military service in the Armed Forces of the USSR. On September 4, 1990, the Supreme Soviet of the Moldavian SSR adopted a Resolution on the suspension of the USSR Law of October 12, 1967 "On universal military duty" on the territory of the MSSR. The first stage in the formation of the National Army of Moldova as an independent state was the decree of the President of Moldova No. 193 of September 3, 1991 "On the formation of the Armed Forces". According to the Constitution of Moldova of 1994 and the National Security Concept, the military security of the country is ensured by its armed forces. On November 14, 1991, the government of Moldova declared military camps, bases, weapons, vehicles, equipment and other property belonging to the units of the Soviet army stationed on the territory of the republic to be its property. In 1995, the “Military Doctrine of the Republic of Moldova” was developed and published (Decree No. 482-XIII of June 6, 1995), and by 1997 the process of creating the military structures of the Armed Forces was completed. In 1998, the period of compulsory military service was reduced to 18 months, later - to 12 months. At the moment, the conscription service lasts 12 months. In 1997, the combat-ready armed forces numbered just over 11 thousand people. The number of reservists who could be drafted into the ranks of the armed forces is about 300 thousand people. In 1998, more than 1.145 million people were considered fit for military service. After the NATO Secretary General's visit to Chisinau in January 1999, it was decided to reduce the size of the army from 10 thousand to 6.5 thousand people. In early August 2001, the government newspaper "Nezavisimaya Moldova" published data on the size and armament of the Moldovan army. According to this information, the strength of the National Army was 8500 people, there were 209 armored vehicles in service (including 55 BMD and 154 armored personnel carriers), 205 artillery pieces and mortars (incl. , 79 howitzers, 115 mortars and 11 Uragan artillery rocket systems) and 31 aircraft. In September 2007, the size of the Moldovan army was reduced from 6.8 thousand to 6.5 thousand military personnel; in service there were 209 armored vehicles and 150 guns and mortars. In addition to military personnel, there were 2,300 civilians in the army. On October 3, 2007, a solemn opening ceremony of the NATO Information and Documentation Center took place in Chisinau. The individual action plan of the Moldova-NATO partnership provides for the reform of the entire security and defense system of the country on the principles of NATO and the transfer of the National Army of Moldova until 2010 to the standards of the North Atlantic Alliance.
• Holiday in Tunisia September 3, 2017 - Independence Day. After World War II, an active independence movement unfolded in Tunisia - in honor of him, the country established the Independence Movement Day in Tunisia, celebrated annually on September 3. Despite the repression that the colonial authorities brought down on the national independence movement in 1951, military resistance to the colonialists was expanding in the country. Detachments of the fellahs burned the estates of French planters, blew up bridges, and killed French officers. In 1952 and 1953, crops were harvested in large latifundia under the protection of tanks. France sent 70,000 regular troops into the country, and yet the liberation movement expanded everywhere: the organized Tunisian proletariat entered the struggle. In June 1955, France was forced to make concessions, she agreed to grant independence to Tunisia, but without the right to determine the country's foreign policy. On March 20, 1956, a new agreement is signed giving Tunisia full independence. Since then, this day has been celebrated in the country as a holiday - Independence Day. In April 1956, Habib Burgiba was elected Prime Minister, and in July 1957, President of the country. He was the recognized leader of the party, which, compared with other bourgeois parties, was more firmly connected with the broad masses of the people and had undeniable merits in the national liberation movement.
• Holiday in Australia September 3, 2017 - National Flag Day. National Flag Day in Australia is not a public holiday like in a number of other countries, but it is an important commemorative date that has been officially established. Flag Day is celebrated on September 3 and is accompanied by a flag-raising ceremony. The national flag of Australia was first flown on September 3, 1901, after Prime Minister Edmund Barton announced the winner of the competition to design the flag of Australia. The flag measuring 5.5 by 11 meters was raised above the dome of the Royal Exhibition Center in Melbourne. For the first time, the idea of ​​celebrating National Flag Day was expressed in 1984 by John Christian Vaughn, a historian and vexillologist from Sydney (vexillology is a science that studies flags, banners and other similar items). He organized a public flag-raising ceremony in Sydney's Hyde Park. Every year the number of adherents of the holiday grew, and in 1996, the Governor General of Australia, Sir William Dean, officially proclaimed September 3 as the National Flag Day of Australia. The first official flag-raising ceremony took place in 1996 at the Martin Place Amphitheater in central Sydney. Flag Day is not an official holiday in Australia, but ceremonies are held in schools and government organizations.
• Holiday in Iran September 3, 2017 - Day against British intervention. The Day of Combating British Intervention is an Iranian commemorative date celebrated on September 3 (Shahrivar 12 according to the Iranian calendar). Day against British intervention takes place on September 3 in memory of the day of the death of Rais Ali Delvari, who died during the battles with the British cavalry. This day is considered to be the end of British intervention in southern Iran. Rais Ali Delvari prepared an armed uprising against the British, which resulted in a selfless armed struggle against the British soldiers. In 1915, despite the fact that Iran did not officially participate in the First World War, British soldiers landed in the port city of Bushehr and quickly captured it. This was done in order to prevent the capture of southern Iran by the forces of the German Empire, to create a barrier for the German army to the strategically important mineral reserves of Iran and the south of the Arabian Peninsula, and also to enter the Indian Ocean. From the very beginning of the First World War, Rais Ali Delvari was busy preparing for an uprising against the British. On July 12, 1915, the rebels attempted to attack the British residence in Bushehr, but their troops were driven back. On August 8, 1915, the British government sent an additional force of 500 cavalry to reinforce its position in the city. On September 14, 1915, the British government removed the governor of Shiraz and the province of Fars, Mohber al-Saltana, and appointed a new governor, Habibollah Qawam al-Molk, in his place. However, already in December, the new governor was expelled from Shiraz by a pro-German officer of the gendarmerie. Five days later, the city was attacked by the British fleet, and on September 3, during fierce fighting between the rebels and the British cavalry, Rais Ali Delvari was killed.

Church holiday according to the folk calendar - Thaddeus the Preacher

On this day, Orthodox Christians know what church holiday is today, they honor the memory of the apostle from the seventy of St. Thaddeus - one of the disciples of Jesus Christ, who was not among the closest disciples.
Thaddeus was born in the Syrian city of Edessa. Once he came to Jerusalem for a feast and, having heard the sermon of John the Baptist, received baptism from him in the Jordan and, having met Jesus, became his disciple.
Immediately after the execution and resurrection of Christ, the Apostle Thaddeus went to Syria and Mesopotamia to preach. In Edessa, Thaddeus converted Prince Avgray, the priests, and many ordinary people to Christianity. Thaddeus often accompanied his sermons with miracles of healing, so the prince wanted to reward him, but the apostle refused all gifts and left to carry the word of God to other cities. In the Phoenician city of Virita (today it is Beirut), Thaddeus founded a church there and died.
Peasants harvested flax on Thaddeus. On this day, another holiday was celebrated in honor of the martyr Vassa of Alon.
Compressing the flax, it was laid out in the meadows - for the sake of "laying down", in other words, so that from it

Do you know what holiday is celebrated on September 3rd? There are several reasons, actually. Let's talk about each of them.

Significant days on the calendar

Holidays are the days of the year when the whole country celebrates any traditions associated with fun and joyful events. Or when a great event took place in the country, to which the people pay tribute, worship and want to make it into the long memory of folk culture for future generations, celebrating annually with solemn rallies, concert programs and other types of solemn ceremonies with the participation of honored persons of the country. These dates are accompanied by the awarding of citizens who have achieved particularly outstanding achievements in their personal and social activities. And all the people are proud of their heroes.

September 3, 2005

But on September 3, what kind of holiday has been celebrated in Russia since 2005? Anyone who knows about this event will immediately be transported to that difficult and not at all festive day when the misfortune occurred.

When in the city of Beslan the terrorists were able not only to capture, but also to destroy the lives of about 300 people, 150 of them were children. Who and why did this in peacetime in a peaceful city - now this question is no longer relevant. Now the urgent task is to do everything so that this does not happen anywhere and never. So then what kind of holiday on September 3 do we celebrate with the whole country? Yes, we are celebrating the Day of Remembrance associated with those tragic events.

The official name of this day is the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism. And therefore, anti-terrorist actions are organized and carried out all over the world, movements that contribute to increasing knowledge on how to prevent, how to counter terrorism all over the world. Therefore, the Day of Farewell is also celebrated on September 3rd. What a holiday, we already know.

The terrorists were still defeated, with heavy and irretrievable losses, but they were destroyed nonetheless. As in the Victory over fascism, we have suffered incalculable losses, but still we mark the end of the war with the Victory Day, proclaiming the end of the dark forces and the dawn of a bright future.

Joyful day 3 September

The Russian Church celebrates this day as Thaddeus Day, dedicated to one of the 70 apostles of Christ and sent by Him to one of the cities that He wanted to visit.

Thanks to the lessons of Thaddeus, many, even Prince Avgar and the priests of that time, accepted the Christian faith in the Savior. And one of these believers, later canonized as a martyr, Vassa accepted the severe tortures of her children and herself for the sake of faith, but did not renounce it, which earned her the deep and sincere worship of like-minded people.

This day is marked by the beginning of the traditional. According to legend, people met on this day a linen maiden who had a beautiful fair-haired and blue-eyed appearance of a friendly girl, filled with kindness and love for people working in the fields.

What else are we celebrating?

Let's go on a short tour of the very recent past, when all the countries of the present CIS were one mighty Union, and all holidays were common to all. Such a holiday was the day legalized by the Government of the USSR - the first Sunday of September. And this Sunday in 2017 falls on the 3rd.

On this day, numerous workers in the oil and gas industry of all CIS countries will happily celebrate their labor and, perhaps, heroic achievements, receive awards, sing and dance, attracting a lot of their friends and relatives to the celebration. The peoples of the CIS countries can really be proud of the labor achievements of their citizens, because thanks to them everyone lives in warmth, drives cars filled with fuel, wears clothes and shoes, all this is possible thanks to the processing of petroleum products. Indeed, now it is even difficult to imagine in our material environment that oil and gas could not be used.

Therefore, we also congratulate with gratitude all those who work in this industry, often risking life and health. After all, the work of oil and gas production is very often fraught with danger, each employee lives hard, away from home warmth and comfort.

September 3 - what kind of holiday? End of the war!

On this day, another wonderful holiday is celebrated - Victory Day over militaristic Japan - the end of World War II! In the difficult post-war days after the complete defeat of fascist Germany, Russia continued to hold back the onslaught of the Japanese fascists. And so, from August 9 to September 2, the last push was made towards the final victory of Russia over its enemies. In this offensive, Russia lost about 36 thousand more people. More than 308 thousand soldiers and officers were subsequently awarded orders and medals, 87 people received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

The offensive lasted 25 days, during which the northern parts of China and Korea, as well as the Kuril Islands and Sakhalin, were liberated. After that, Japan was forced to admit defeat, and the Soviet Union could celebrate the final victory over its enemies. The war ended on September 2, but by decree of the USSR Government of September 2, 1945, it was determined which holiday in Russia should be celebrated on September 3. The date is designated Victory Day over Japan. Our people know about this holiday.
