Origami Day

When you fold a piece of paper, you're essentially changing the memory of that piece.

Eric Demaine in Between the Folds

There's a birthday coming, and it's an important one for all you paper folding fanatics. It's the birthday of Lillian Oppenheimer, the founder of the first origami group in America. She also was instrumental in the founding of the British Origami Society and Origami USA. So if you love the art of folding paper and creating beautiful creations from paper, cloth, dollar bills, napkins, or anything that'll hold a crease, Origami Day is for you!

History of Origami Day

The art of folding paper arose in several places throughout the world, including Europe, China, and Japan. It has accompanied traditions and celebrations of every kind, including funerals, birthdays, and more. The first actual reference to a paper model is in a poem, which somehow seems appropriate given that such things are traditionally written on paper. In that poem, a butterfly design was referenced in connection to Shinto weddings, but that's just one of many ways that these designs were used.

In Europe, it was napkin folding that was all the rage, a tradition which was abundant during the 17th and 18th centuries as a sign of being a good host or hostess. Sadly, this particular tradition was going to fade out and become nearly forgotten until recently, when it's beginning to see something of a resurgence. When Japan opened its borders in the late 1800's, they started incorporating German paper folding techniques and two worlds came together in a glorious union.

These days Origami has been used as a beacon of hope, with the tradition of folding a thousand cranes being done for people who are in the hospital fighting cancer, for instance.

How to celebrate Origami Day

Well, it's quite simple really. Pick up a piece of paper and start folding it into something amazing. Ok, so it really isn't THAT simple, but there's plenty of opportunities for you to use online resources and books from your library to start making amazing creations out of paper. Got a wedding coming up? How about sending delightfully folded origami invitations? How about a birthday? Place settings made from folded paper or napkins could truly be striking. You could even help brighten up a reception, a retirement, or any other celebration by creating beautiful works of art from folding paper or cloth that will impress everyone.

Pocky Day

You'll find it at every place that fans of Japanese culture and anime gather. It graces the shelves of every con, and even appears in places as common as Wal-Mart in a variety of flavors and colors. The concept is simple, a delicious slightly sweet biscuit dipped in a coating of flavor that can be easily snacked on. In Japan it is one of the most popular treats that can be found, and even appears in bars served alongside a glass of ice water. We are, of course, talking about Pocky, and Pocky Day is an excuse (like you need one) to introduce your friends to it and eat as much as you want!

History of Pocky Day

1963 saw the creation of a new delicious innovation in snacking, a breadstick coated in chocolate and served in boxes. It was instantly popular, though it had the issue of being messy to eat, the entire stick was coated in chocolate and thus resulted in chocolate coated hands. Surely this wouldn't do, this candy, known as Pretz, was in for a revolution. Ezaki Glico food corporation went back to the drawing board, and came up with a number of solutions for their popular candy.

Should they cover one end of the stick in a removable foil? Certainly this would work, but it would also result in increased costs for a typically low cost snack, and it would be annoying for the customer. Suddenly they'd have a new piece to get rid of, and have to unwrap it while snacking. Then genius struck, they'd just remove chocolate from a portion of the candy, and leave it with a handle. From that one decision a sensation was born, they renamed it to Rocky until 2014, when the name we know and love, Pocky, became the name that would stay.

How to celebrate Pocky Day

Celebrating Pocky Day is both fun and delicious, especially if you have a source of all the flavors available. Most people have had chocolate and strawberry, but do you know that banana, coffee, caramel, melon, and even tomato and corn on the cob exist? Pocky truly can be anything, and there are dozens of other flavors to be had as well. Get your friends together for some anime goodness, and have each of you bring a few different flavors of Pocky! Who knows what will be your new favorite flavor!

VETERANS DAY

Veterans Day is an official United States holiday that honors people who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces, also known as veterans. It is a federal holiday that is observed on November 11. It coincides with other holidays such as Armistice Day and Remembrance Day, which are celebrated in other parts of the world and also mark the anniversary of the end of World War I (major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, when the Armistice with Germany went into effect). The United States also originally observed Armistice Day, it then evolved into the current Veterans Day holiday in 1954.

Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day. Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Because it is a federal holiday, some American workers and many students have Veterans Day off from work or school. When Veterans Day falls on a Saturday then either Saturday or the preceding Friday may be designated as the holiday, whereas if it falls on a Sunday it is typically observed on the following Monday. A Society for Human Resource Management poll in 2010 found that 21 percent of employers planned to observe the holiday in 2011.

Non-essential federal government offices are closed. No mail is delivered. All federal workers are paid for the holiday. Those who are required to work on the holiday sometimes receive holiday pay for that day in addition to their wages.

In his Armistice Day address to Congress, Wilson was sensitive to the psychological toll of the lean War years. "Hunger does not breed reform, it breeds madness, he remarked. As Veterans Day and the birthday of the United States Marine Corps (November 10, 1775) are only one day apart, that branch of the Armed Forces customarily observes both occasions as a 96-hour liberty period.
