Libra, September 25. Born on this day have a curious relationship with society. On the one hand, their livelihood and ultimately success depend on it, and on the other, these people often openly criticize visible shortcomings, thereby trying to demonstrate how the existing order can be improved. Thus, their apparent negativity or critical assessments almost always lead to positive results.
Oddly enough, those born on this day are often considered as typical representatives of certain social circles, nationalities or ethnic groups, so closely they are associated with them in the opinion of others.
No one else, however, will be as critical of their loved ones, neighbors, city, region or state as they are. Consequently, their relationship with their native land is an interesting symbiosis, a kind of cohabitation, which can be both beneficial and disadvantageous for both parties at the same time.

Main event
English doctor James Blundell conducted the world's first operation of blood transfusion from person to person
September 25, 1818
James Blundell
Blood - one of the remedies known since antiquity - is a mobile internal environment of the body and performs important functions for the normal life of the body.
However, its appropriate application and development of methods for its conservation have become possible only recently, as has blood transfusion, that is, the insertion of blood with a therapeutic purpose into the vascular layer of the patient, as whole blood, and its cellular components and protein preparations of plasma.
This British obstetrician gynecologist performed the first successful transfusion of human blood to a patient with postpartum hemorrhage. Using the patient's husband as a donor, Blundell took almost 4 ounces of blood from his hand and poured it out with a syringe.
During the study, he noticed a number of defects that accompanied the procedure: coagulation, incompatibility, often leading to death of patients, and air embolism, and after all this Blundell proposed a number of monitoring methods. But he also noted that no monitoring is able to prevent fatal complications of blood transfusion.

Comics day
Interestingly, America is not the birthplace of comics. Comics are an invention of Europeans. Although, in fairness, it is worth saying that drawings with brief signatures - graphic stories - have been known since time immemorial in rock paintings. It is also worth noting that the concept of "comic book" is common only in the English-American vocabulary and Russia.
In French - bande dessinee (or, in short - “BD”), in Italian - fumetti, in German - bilderbogen, in Serbian - strip, in Japanese - manga, in Chinese - lianhuanhua, in English - comic book (or comics), in Russian - comics.
The first example of "graphic prose" is considered the work of the English cartoonist and painter Thomas Rowlandson, entitled "Travel of Dr. Syntaxis in search of the picturesque."
USA actively picked up the genre, and in 1892 the first American comics “Teddy Bears and Tiger”, published in the Sunday ''New York World'' newspaper, saw the light of day.
The boom came in the 1920-1930s, from which the "golden age of comics" in the New World begins. Comics are becoming an integral part of popular culture, their genres are expanding - science fiction, detective stories, horrors, super-heroes.
The themes of modern comics literally cover the entire spectrum of human life: from love to hate, from war to peace. Special festivals and exhibitions dedicated to this art form are held all over the world.
To celebrate Comics Day, fans in the US usually follow some of the main principles of the day: “Buy a comic book or two, or ...”, “Read a comic book or two, or ...”, “Share the comics with your friends.” Also, in some comic book stores, to commemorate National Comics Day, campaigns are held to distribute comics for free or to sell them at a great discount.
