World Diabetes Day was first held in 1991, and since 2007 this date has been held under the patronage of the UN. Thanks to the support of such large international organizations, the mass events held on November 14 have become the world's largest source of information not only about the disease itself and those affected, but also about efforts to combat it. Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Today, diabetes mellitus, like atherosclerosis and cancer, is one of the three diseases that most often lead to disability and death.

Speech therapy is a science that studies speech disorders in people and helps prevent them and even predict them. Today, almost every preschool and school institution has a specialist on staff who monitors children’s pronunciation and helps correct it. International Speech Pathologist Day is celebrated on November 14th. On this day, speech correction specialists celebrate their professional holiday, organize experience-sharing conferences, forums and other events.

Sociology is a relatively young science, but this does not diminish its importance. Politics, business, trade, media, advertising - this is not a complete list of areas in which it can be useful. On November 14, 1994, the dean of the Faculty of Sociology at St. Petersburg State University, Asalkhan Boronoev, was the first to take the initiative to celebrate Sociologist Day. And since then it has been celebrated by all leading universities in Russia. The holiday is not yet official, but it is always marked by various celebratory scientific events.

November 14 is Endocrinologist Day, which for obvious reasons is combined with a day dedicated to the fight against diabetes. This is a special disease that is directly related to disruption of the endocrine system, so these two informational occasions are celebrated together. The vast majority of specialists working in this segment of healthcare are representatives of the fair sex. Sometimes international organizations mark this day with charity events designed to raise money for research into diseases associated with disorders of the endocrine system.

The life of a modern person is characterized by a frantic pace and a large number of events, which often bring confusion and even real chaos into it. This leads to increased levels of anxiety and chronic stress. In some cases, it is useful to let go of the situation - stop participating in the "rat race", stop controlling everything and worrying about thwarted plans. To this end, November 14 is celebrated as the Day of Relaxation and Carefreeness. The holiday encourages people to stop worrying about various troubles and stop engaging in self-criticism.

In the evening we relax and unwind after busy everyday life, immerse ourselves in the world of our thoughts, and make plans for the coming day. At this mysterious time of day, when the line between reality and fiction becomes thinner, amazing things happen. At dusk, before the black darkness covers the earth, empaths, esotericists and other sensitive people communicate with representatives of the etheric plane.

Broken and unrepairable lights are not only the result of poor public services. They are a symbol of the hopelessness that reigns in society, “the devastation in our heads,” as Professor Preobrazhensky said. The founders of the unusual celebration do not agree with this statement.

Bal Divas (Children's Day in India)

On this day, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of Saints Cosmas and Damian (Kuzma and Demyan), who were famous healers and cured many hopeless patients with the power of the Word of God. The brothers Kuzma and Demyan have been revered in Rus' since ancient times. People knew them not only as healers, but also as talented “handicraftsmen” who did not take money from anyone for their work. According to special signs on Kuzminki, people determined what the weather would be like in the coming days and months: if the weather is warm on November 14, then the coming winter will be warm; snow on Kuzminki foreshadows river floods in the spring. People born on November 14th can become good doctors and live a long, fruitful life. They can wear corals as a talisman, which protects them from diseases and the evil eye.
