Watercolor occupies an intermediate position between graphics and painting, combining the features of both techniques. The paint captivates with its unpredictability and lively nature, richness of tone and lack of relief of the stroke. Art historians distinguish several types of watercolor depending on the moisture content of the brush and sheet, multi-layer application of color, etc. Paint is valued for its unpredictability and living nature. November 23 marks the International Day of Watercolor - one of the most difficult painting techniques.

Honest journalists and bloggers, courageous human rights defenders and other public figures are often targets of threats, attacks and torture for exercising the rights to freedom of expression. In most cases, such incidents and crimes go unpunished. The Day against Impunity was approved by the UN in 2013 at its 68th session. The resolution of the General Assembly of the organization calls on the authorities of all countries to begin combating any manifestations of violence against media workers. The killing of journalists, bloggers, correspondents and public figures because of their honesty, integrity and opposition views must be stopped.

This day is associated with the apostles of the seventy, Erastus and Herodion. Sometimes November 23 was called Erast - a strong crust or Rodion Icebreaker. This is due to the fact that by this time the crust was getting stronger and stronger, but it was still impossible to cross the reservoirs, otherwise you could break the ice and fall into the water. On Erast it was customary to help those in need. People distributed unnecessary clothes and fed the poor. On this day, hunters went out for their first winter hunt. But other people tried not to leave the house unless necessary. Women did handicrafts and household chores, men prepared equipment, shoes and clothes for winter. According to the signs on November 23, they determined the weather: if everything around is covered with frost, then frosts will soon hit, and if a lot of snow fell on Rodion, then it will soon become warmer.

The wolf was domesticated by primitive people about 32 thousand years ago. The dog has become man's faithful friend, guarding his home, helping in hunting and herding livestock.
