Leo, August 11. Born on this day have a strong desire to know the truth.
They also have an interest in the dark sides of life and in topics that tend to be rejected by sensitive enough people. They feel it is their job to courageously expose what is hidden: to test and, if necessary, expose those who impersonate others. Proving and documenting the truth, however monstrous it may be, can turn into mania for them and even become a matter of their life.
More advanced people born on August 11 can address these issues in a positive and creative way by enlightening and educating their fellows.
Natures that are not so refined can come to terms with unpleasant truths, which ultimately leads to antisocial actions on their part.
Nevertheless, these latter can raise their spiritual level, realizing the bad deeds, commenting on them and thus initiating the movement to a higher level of their existence. With this aspect, they have a chance to go through major evolutionary changes in personality during one life cycle.

The SOS signal was first transmitted
August 11, 1909
SOS - an international distress signal according to the Morse code is a sequence (... _ _ _ ...), and it has become the international standard for a marine distress signal for radio communications under the International Radio Telegraph Convention.
Even before the invention of radio in the early 1890s, a variety of visual and audio distress signals were already used on sea-going vessels. For this purpose, such means of communication as semaphore flags, signal lights and bells were used. The radio (then called the "wireless telegraph") first used the Morse code, a system originally developed for a terrestrial wire telegraph. When radio stations began to appear on ships, there was a need for standardization of communications, but cooperation was hampered by national differences and rivalry between competing radio companies, such as Marconi International Marine Communication Company, Telefunken and Sloby Arco.
In 1906, in Berlin, the Second International Radio Telegraph Conference was held. Twenty-nine countries took part in its work, including Britain, Germany, Russia, the United States, France and Japan. According to the International Radio-Telegraph Convention signed in Berlin on November 3, 1906, a signal for radio communication at sea was signaled (... - - - ...). The radio stations of the countries that signed the convention had to receive it from the courts without any queue. With the introduction of this signal, all other distress signals of private firms were canceled.
The first reliable use of the SOS signal happened on August 11, 1909, when the American steamship Arapaoe lost its course and kicked it on its way from New York to Jacksonville. The signal was received by the United Wireless Telegraph Company on Hatteras Island in North Carolina and redirected to the offices of the shipping company.
In fact, the letters SOS do not refer to any words (like "save our souls"). They were chosen simply because they were easier to transfer.
The distress code in radiotelephone communication is "MAY DAY".
At present, the use of Morse code for the transmission of distress signals has been replaced by automated warning systems.
Our ancestors considered viburnum to be a symbol of pure and immaculate beauty, and the bitter taste of the berries symbolized the bitter fate of the girl, married without love.

Viburnum pies are made this day. Vladimir Dal describes their cooking: “A pinch of viburnum will wrap with a piece of rye dough, straighten it, put on a dry cabbage leaf - and then bake and roast on a baking sheet, in a stove, in free spirit. And when it will smell like a treat - open the flap, take out the finished pies. Cabbage leaf is shaken off - and here it is, pie with Viburnum, with a forest smell! ”.
Also, the morning frosts were called viburnum, which had already happened at that time and had a destructive effect on the bread left in the fields. In the northern provinces they prayed: "Carry, O Lord, with a daze, not frost."
