Celebration
of The Mind Day – Born
on this day 99 years ago, Martin Gardner, who died in 2010, dedicated
his life to pursuing playful and fun ways of doing Math, Science,
Art, Magic, and Puzzles. Exercise your brain cells with a puzzle
today.
Global Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) Prevention Day – We get iodine in our salt generally, but there are quite a few countries that do not. So UNICEF has been working to solve that problem by working with salt producers and governments to promote universal salt iodization. Iodine Deficiency Disorders include brain damage, deaf mutism, dwarfism, and more.
Reptile
Awareness Day – This
is a day to focus on reptiles of all shapes, sizes and colors. Some
of you have some reptiles living in your house in the form of cute
little lizards. Others have bigger and uglier (my opinion) reptiles
living with you. My daughter has been after me to let her have a
snake. Not going to happen in my house! But whether you love them
or hate them, they are important to our ecosystem and just like so
many other animals, except maybe mosquitoes, they are dealing with
pollution, loss of habitat, climate change and other devastating
issues. Be nice to your neighborhood reptiles today.
National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day – Celebrated on the third Monday of October, this is a day to look at your computer desktop. How many icons do you have on there that you don't even use...ever! Can you even see your desktop picture? Can you quickly find what you need when you need it? Depending on your answers to these questions, you may need to take some time today to clean up your desktop so that you can work more effectively and efficiently.
National
Pumpkin Cheesecake Day
– I love cheesecake and I love pumpkin. Two great tastes that in
all likelihood, taste great together. I cannot wait to try a pumpkin
cheesecake today.
Celebration of The Mind Day – Born on this day 99 years ago, Martin Gardner, who died in 2010, dedicated his life to pursuing playful and fun ways of doing Math, Science, Art, Magic, and Puzzles. Exercise your brain cells with a puzzle today.
To
celebrate today, add some iodized salt to you cheesecake recipe and
while that is cooking, feed your lizard or look at some lizard
pictures (some of them are fascinating to look at) and clean your
computer desktop. While you are eating your cheesecake, work on some
brain puzzles.
