During the First World War for the first time as a chemical weapon used poison mustard gas
July 12, 1917
Mustard gas burns.
Defeats of different severity were received by 2490 people, 87 of which died at the first use of a gas.
British scientists quickly deciphered his formula, but it was only in 1918 that the production of a new poison could be established, which made it useless for military purposes only in September 1918 (two months before the truce).
Mustard gas has a distinct local effect - it affects the eyes and respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract and skin. Absorbed in the blood, it manifests all body poisoning action. Gas affects the skin during exposure, both in droplet and in the vapor condition.
From drops and vapors of mustard gas, usual summer and winter army uniforms do not protect the skin, just like almost any kind of civilian clothes. There were not a real protection of troops from mustard gas in those years, and its using on the battlefield was effective until the end of the war.
Neither before nor after this war, chemical warfare agents were not used in such quantities as in 1915-1918. During the First World War, chemical substances were used in huge quantities: 12,000 tons of mustard gas, which affected about 400,000 people.
At present, chemical weapons are prohibited for use by the Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which was opened for signature in January 1993. According to its provisions, it came into force after its ratification by 65 states. The effective date is April 29, 1997.
Every year on July 12, representatives of one of the most romantic specialties in the world celebrate their holiday - civil aviation flight attendants, better known to us as stewards.
It is believed that this profession originated in Germany in 1928, when they began to take on board an aircraft a special person, whose duties included providing service during the flight, the steward. The co-pilot of the aircraft was involved in this before, which was risky from the point of view of flight safety.
First, the functions of flight attendants were performed by men - most often they were former waiters of expensive restaurants. However, already in 1930, the United States had the idea of taking on this job attractive girls - this was supposed to be an additional advertisement for passenger traffic. There was one more argument in favor of the fair sex: they weighed less, which was of great importance for the aircraft of that time.
Nowadays, the weight of the flight attendant is not so important. But when recruiting personnel, the principle of “three I” is often used: this is an external image (speech, facial expression, make-up, external attractiveness); the image of the internal (the presence of the necessary traits of character); image professional (professional knowledge and skills).
And today is the Day of the photographer. More precisely, not quite so: the Day of St. Veronica, the patroness of photographers. According to legend, sv. Veronica, among other people, followed Jesus Christ on Calvary. When the exhausted Savior fell, Saint Veronica offered him her handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face. On the cloth imprinted face Savior. When was the photo invented by papal decree of St. Veronica was declared the patroness of photography and photographers.
