Holidays
November 14
Day of the "medical" holidays: World Diabetes Day and International Speech Therapist Day.
World Diabetes Day
Diabetes is a chronic disease that develops when the pancreas does not work's correctly.
World Diabetes Day is set on the birthday of Frederick Banting, a Canadian physiologist who discovered the hormone insulin with Professor John MacLeod.
In January 1922, a young Canadian scientist Frederick Banting saved life for the first time in history by injecting insulin to 14-year-old boy who suffered from severe juvenile diabetes. Instead of obtaining a patent for insulin and subsequently becoming fabulously rich, Banting transfers all rights to the University of Toronto. Subsequently, the right to produce insulin was transferred to the Canadian Medical Research Council, and at the end of 1922 a new drug appeared on the drug market.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that develops when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. The overall result of uncontrolled diabetes is hyperglycemia (elevated blood sugar levels), which over time leads to serious damage to many body systems, especially nerves and blood vessels.
On December 20, 2006, the United Nations adopted a Resolution on diabetes mellitus, in which the rapid increase in the incidence of diabetes was declared an extraordinary threat to the entire world community. Since 2007, World Diabetes Day is celebrated under the auspices of the UN. The purpose of the Day is to educate the public about the causes, symptoms, complications and treatment of this disease.
International Day of Speech Therapist
On November 14, the world celebrates the International Day of Speech Therapist, a professional holiday for representatives of one of the most important social professions.
The profession of speech therapist entered the top thirty most needed specialties in the world. It is a mistake to believe that a speech therapist is working to correct only the incorrect pronunciation of sounds. Sound correction is just the top of the iceberg. Speech therapist works with all speech disorders: general speech underdevelopment; its absence, disorders of voice, tempo and timbre of speech, speech disorders due to pathology of the central nervous system.
These specialists work in schools, polyclinics, open their own offices, but they are united by one common feature - all speech therapists, without exception, are eager to help their patients. After all, be that as it may, their work is akin to the work of physiotherapists - by correcting it, they return the child the luxury of human communication, give him the opportunity to actively live in society, successfully study in school and develop normally into adulthood.

But in the narrow sense, GIS is a software product that allows users to edit, analyze and search for objects on digital maps, as well as receive additional information about them - the building height, address, number of residents or companies located in it.
GIS data is used in cartography, geology, meteorology, land management, ecology, municipal government, transport, economics, defense, and many other areas.
