He proposed using a certain sequence of symbols to denote a smiling face in text messages.Smileys have become an important part of electronic communication, helping to convey emotions and mood in text. Today there are countless different smileys and emojis used to express different emotions and ideas.Aorta Awareness DayWorld Aortic Dissection Awareness Day is a reminder of this serious condition, which can lead to fatal consequences. It is designed to raise public awareness of the symptoms, risk factors, and the importance of immediate treatment of this dangerous condition.Aortic dissection occurs when the inner layer of the aorta, the main artery that carries blood from the heart, tears. This leads to the entry of blood between the layers of the aorta wall, which can lead to its rupture or serious damage.International Talk Like a Pirate DaySeptember 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. This holiday was created in 1995 by two Oregon jokers, John Bauer and Mark Summers, during a regular game of racquetball. They started talking in pirate slang, and thus the idea of the holiday was born.The main tradition of this day is to communicate in pirate jargon. Today, everyone can feel like a true sea wolf by using pirate expressions.Church HolidayThe Orthodox Church commemorates the memory of the holy martyrs Trokhym, Savvatii and Dorimedont. These Christians lived in the 3rd century and gave their lives for the faith in Christ during the persecutions of Emperor Probus.Trokhym and Savvatii were captured for refusing to worship pagan gods. They were subjected to cruel torture and then executed. Dorimedont also became a martyr after openly acknowledging his faith before the emperor.Believers turn to the Holy Martyrs Trokhym, Savvatii and Dorimedont with prayers for strengthening their faith and protection from enemies.Memorable dates September 19- 1356: victory of the English over the French in the battle of Poitiers.- 1618: the beginning of the siege of Pilsen.- 1559: five Spanish ships sank near Florida.- 1648: the first tavern opened in Quebec, Canada.- 1654: the registration of the first marriage in Canada (in Quebec).- 1777: defeat of the British army in the battle of Saratoga.- 1783: the first launch of a hot-air balloon with animals on board.- 1841: construction of the first international railway.- 1864: obtaining a patent for folding seats in cars.- 1888: the first beauty contest in Spa, Belgium.- 1891: arrival of the first Ukrainian settlers in Canada.- 1941: entry of German troops into Kyiv.- 1945: return of Kim Il Sung to North Korea.- 1982: proposal of a smiley by Professor Scott Fahlman.
