American William Richardson patented a baby stroller
June 18, 1889
June 18, 1889
The real fashion for baby carriages arose in 1840, when the English Queen Victoria, the mother of nine children, wanted to walk with her children in the royal park herself. Soon the fashion for strollers spread on all aristocratic circles of Europe.
In the first carriages, three or four wheels were attached to the basket or to the box, and also a special handle attached to it that could be carried along. In the carriages harnessed ponies, goats or dogs, so that they would drive the children.
There were high strollers on thin wheels, so that it was easy to roll on a bad road, and low on small wheels that went better on a flat surface. Carriages made to order, and in their form they were similar to adult transport - carriages and stagecoaches.
June 18, 1889 in the Baltimore Patent Bureau came William Richardson with the idea of the next revolution in the history of strollers. He came up with a reversible model in which the child could sit either facing the carrying or with his back to him. In addition, William included in his model of the axle, which added a stroller of maneuverability.
Up to that time, the axles and wheels were solid, which prevented them from turning individually. Wheels in Richardson's stroller could rotate 360 degrees completely independently of each other.
Since then, the baby carriage has undergone a whole evolution, having turned from a cumbersome structure, against which the then pediatricians were acting, into a convenient means of transportation.
Initially, the Day was called Ride to Job Day - “Drive to the job on a motorcycle”, and only later gradually turned into a Motorcyclist Day.
The tradition to celebrate the World Motorcyclist Day appeared on July 22, 1992, when in several countries, enthusiasts left cars in garages and went to job on motorcycles and scooters.
Interestingly, until 2008, the date of the Day was considered to be the third Wednesday of July, but since 2008 the Day of the motorcyclist has been postponed to the third Monday of June. The date change was made in order to choose the most favorable climatic conditions for motorcyclists around the world. Favorable climatic conditions, in turn, allow the largest number of motorcyclists to take part in the promotion.
In 2016, the UN General Assembly proclaimed June 18 as the Day of Sustainable Gastronomy. In 2017, it was the first time.
Gastronomy is the science that studies the connection between culture and food and is located at the crossroads of the social sciences and art.
According to the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly, gastronomy is an important element of cultural expression, which is closely linked to the natural and cultural diversity of the world.
