Holidays
International Bats Night
On the last full weekend of August, the world celebrates one of the most unusual nature conservation holidays - International Bat Night. Its main goal is to attract public attention to the problems of bats and their protection, as well as to debunk myths around animals, to which many people experience unjustified superstitious fear, considering them vampires.
Bats are amazing mammals
In fact, bats are amazing mammals that, thanks to their structure, have mastered the art of flying. Four long fingers of strongly developed forelimbs support the wing. A long narrow tail, equal to the length of the head, is also covered with a flying membrane. The toes of the hind limbs with claws are free from the membrane: the bats cling to branches and protuberances, hanging upside down.
The fact that bats are nocturnal, there is an explanation. They have very weak vision, adapted only to darkness. But the bats have remarkably developed sense of smell and hearing, which help to hunt and orient themselves in space, as well as unique ability to echo sounding, which besides them is possessed only by dolphins.
Bats are found everywhere, except for polar regions and highlands. And they are all safe.
The exception is bats-vampires with large and sharp teeth, living in Latin America and feeding on the blood of small rodents, birds, and occasionally - and livestock.
As for bats living in Europe, they should not be afraid. All of them are insectivorous animals. Moreover, bats are even useful, since they destroy many harmful insects, which are also active in the dark, and during the day they escape the attention of birds.
Many species of bats are on the verge of extinction. The problem has become especially acute in recent decades, due to the cutting down of hollow trees (it is in hollows that most of these animals find shelter), using various pesticides (bats die eating "poisoned" insects) and persecution from the person - due to elementary illiteracy and prejudice.
There is an international agreement on the protection of bats, signed by a number of countries. The very holiday of bats originated in Europe, and today it is held in many cities and regions in more than 30 countries. Traditionally, the night is spent in the last weekend of August, but the exact choice of dates remains for the organizers.
These days in many European countries, lectures, exhibitions, seminars are held on the protection of these animals, and on a festive night excursions are organized, during which you can see hidden animals. In the woods special house-duplexes are hung.
Every year on the last Saturday of August, thousands of drivers celebrate their professional holiday - Day of Trucker.
A trucker is not just a job that brings money, but a way of life. This profession is directly related to a variety of hazards, but it also allows you to travel and discover new corners of countries.
325 - Nicene Council set the rules for the calculation of Easter by Christians. At the beginning of the era, most Christian churches had their own methods for calculating the date of Easter. At the First Ecumenical Council in Nicea, it was proposed to celebrate Easter to all Christians in one day. From this point on, the Alexandrian Paschalia began to spread in the Christian world as the simplest system satisfying the requirement: Easter should be on the first Sunday day after the first full Moon after the spring equinox. In the VIII century, the Roman church also completely adopted this.
