Sophocles
“Memorial Day”
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for
remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.
The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, was
formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to
commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. By the 20th
century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who died while
in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation
season, while Labor Day marks its end. Many people visit cemeteries and
memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many
volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries. Annual
Decoration Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring
or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the
mountain areas. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as
well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the
character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of
miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on graves and renew
contacts with relatives and others. There often is a religious service and a
picnic-like "dinner on the ground," the traditional term for a
potluck meal in which people used to spread the dishes out on sheets or
tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that this practice began before the American
Civil War and thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day"
idea.

Optician
Duties and
responsibilities: A dispensing optician is trained to dispense and fit
spectacles and other optical aids, working from the prescriptions written by
optometrists and ophthalmologists. Dispensing opticians advise patients on
various types of lenses and spectacle frames, including advice on style, weight
and colour. They advise patients on how to wear and care for their spectacles
and, with further training as contact lens opticians (CLOs), their contact
lenses. The majority of dispensing opticians work in high street outlets for
large, multiple-chain optician stores or for independent practices. The role
requires extensive use of technical expertise and good customer service skills.
Selling is an important part of the job.
Salary:
$44,605
Education:
While some opticians enter the profession with only high school diplomas, most
employers prefer applicants with opticianry certificates or associate's
degrees. Associate's degree programs in opticianry prepare students with the
job skills needed for an entry-level position in the field. Courses may include
optical theory, ophthalmic dispensing, lens technology, finishing procedures
and an optical laboratory. Opticians may also gain training through
apprenticeship programs, which are often offered by large employers and tend to
last two or more years.

April Fool’s Day
April Fools tradition
On this day in 1700, English
pranksters begin popularizing the annual tradition of April Fools’ Day by
playing practical jokes on each other. Although the day, also called All Fools’
Day, has been celebrated for several centuries by different cultures, its exact
origins remain a mystery. Some historians speculate that April Fools’ Day dates
back to 1582, when France switched from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian
calendar, as called for by the Council of Trent in 1563. People who were slow
to get the news or failed to recognize that the start of the new year had moved
to January 1 and continued to celebrate it during the last week of March through
April 1 became the butt of jokes and hoaxes. These included having paper fish
placed on their backs and being referred to as “poisson d’avril” (April fish),
said to symbolize a young, easily caught fish and a gullible person. Historians
have also linked April Fools’ Day to ancient festivals such as Hilaria, which
was celebrated in Rome at the end of March and involved people dressing up in
disguises. There’s also speculation that April Fools’ Day was tied to the
vernal equinox, or first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, when Mother
Nature fooled people with changing, unpredictable weather. April Fools’ Day
spread throughout Britain during the 18th century. In Scotland, the tradition
became a two-day event, starting with “hunting the gowk,” in which people were
sent on phony errands (gowk is a word for cuckoo bird, a symbol for fool) and
followed by Tailie Day, which involved pranks played on people’s derrieres,
such as pinning fake tails or “kick me” signs on them. In modern times, people
have gone to great lengths to create elaborate April Fools’ Day hoaxes.
Newspapers, radio and TV stations and Web sites have participated in the April
1 tradition of reporting outrageous fictional claims that have fooled their
audiences. In 1957, the BBC reported that Swiss farmers were experiencing a
record spaghetti crop and showed footage of people harvesting noodles from
trees; numerous viewers were fooled. In 1985, Sports Illustrated tricked many
of its readers when it ran a made-up article about a rookie pitcher named Sidd
Finch who could throw a fastball over 168 miles per hour. In 1996, Taco Bell,
the fast-food restaurant chain, duped people when it announced it had agreed to
purchase Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and intended to rename it the Taco Liberty
Bell. In 1998, after Burger King advertised a “Left-Handed Whopper,” scores of
clueless customers requested the fake sandwich.

St. Patrick’s Day
Saint Patrick's Day was made an official Christian feast day
in the early 17th century and is observed by the Catholic Church, the Anglican
Communion (especially the Church of Ireland),the Eastern Orthodox Church, and
Lutheran Church. The day commemorates Saint Patrick and the arrival of
Christianity in Ireland, as well as celebrating the heritage and culture of the
Irish in general.Celebrations generally involve public parades and festivals,
céilithe, and the wearing of green attire or shamrocks.Christians also attend
church services and the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are
lifted for the day, which has encouraged and propagated the holiday's tradition
of alcohol consumption. Much of what is known about Saint Patrick comes from
the Declaration, which was allegedly written by Patrick himself. It is believed
that he was born in Roman Britain in the fourth century, into a wealthy
Romano-British family. His father was a deacon and his grandfather was a priest
in the Christian church. According to the Declaration, at the age of sixteen,
he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken as a slave to Gaelic Ireland. It
says that he spent six years there working as a shepherd and that during this
time he "found God". The Declaration says that God told Patrick to
flee to the coast, where a ship would be waiting to take him home. After making
his way home, Patrick went on to become a priest. According to legend, Saint
Patrick used the three-leaved shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to Irish
pagans. According to tradition, Patrick returned to Ireland to convert the
pagan Irish to Christianity. The Declaration says that he spent many years evangelising
in the northern half of Ireland and converted "thousands". Tradition
holds that he died on 17 March and was buried at Downpatrick. Over the
following centuries, many legends grew up around Patrick and he became
Ireland's foremost saint.
