Each year on December 4th, people across the United States observe National Dice Day. Many games incorporate dice as a way to add random challenges or obstacles to the objectives.

Players typically throw dice onto a flat surface from their hands or a cup. The value of the throw is determined by the uppermost face of the die after it has come to rest. One popular dice game is craps where wagers are made on the total value of the throw of the dice. Frequently used in board games, dice are used to randomize a player's moves, commonly by deciding the distance a piece will move on a board. Favorite board games using dice are backgammon and Monopoly.

The origin of dice is uncertain. However, it is known that they have been around for thousands of years. At the Burnt City, an archaeological site in south-eastern Iran, the oldest known dice were excavated as part of a 5000-year-old backgammon set.

Dice were originally made from the talus (ankle bone) of hoofed animals. Ivory, wood and plastics are other materials used in making dice. They also come in many shapes and colors.

What do Monopoly, Backgammon, Dungeons & Dragons and Craps have in common? All are games that are played by using dice. These are six-sided cubes with dots, called pips, on each side, which are rolled or thrown to display a random number from 1 to 6 when they land. Dice have been used by mankind for countless years and have been found in the ruins of the most ancient civilisations. Originally made from animal bones and later wood, today's dice are usually made from a plastic called cellulose acetate. National Dice Day is a time to enjoy using dice, whether in board-games or in gambling. Casinos all over the world offer special promotions and games on Dice Day involving these small and cleverly designed gaming pieces. Many people purchase special dice souvenirs on this day, such as the popular dice clock which has an arrangement of dice around its face in place of numbers.

The sad truth is that the world's best loved, beautiful and fascinating species are being slaughtered by widespread and dangerous criminal networks that will stop at nothing to get what they want. And what they want are animal parts and products that for reasons no sane person really understands, are worth lots of money. There are plenty of synthetic substitutes for things like ivory and fur that don't require the brutal slaughter of an animal to obtain, not to mention how hard it actually is to tell the difference between high-quality synthetic substitutes and the real thing. And do you mean to tell me no other dish in the world tastes as good as shark fin soup, and that we really have to mutilate live sharks and then throw them back into the ocean to die? Long story short, there is simply no excuse for the amount of animals being poached every year. And yet they are. In 2011 alone, for example, there were 13 large-scale seizures of ivory, and over 23 tons of ivory confiscated, which is equivalent to at least 2,500 elephants. A 2010 United Nations report suggests that gorillas could disappear altogether from large parts of the Congo Basin by the mid-2020s.

And it is not just the animals that are suffering. Park rangers get killed on a regular basis by poachers they're trying to stop, and the local economies of entire towns and villages suffer terrible damage once enough wildlife is wiped out to make them irrelevant as wildlife tourism destinations. Corruption and intimidation are weakening law enforcement efforts. Unscreened wildlife and wildlife parts increase the risk of human health pandemics such as bird flu. Everyone involved is suffering.

History of World Wildlife Conservation Day

A call to action was put out by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2012 to raise awareness and engage conservationists on Wildlife Conservation Day, December 4. During the "Wildlife Trafficking and Conservation: A Call to Action event held at the State Department on November 8th 2012, Secretary Clinton outlined the White House's strategy to address the global problem of wildlife trafficking. These efforts are estimated to cost between $7 and $10 billion dollars a year. "Wildlife cannot be manufactured. And once it's gone, it cannot be replenished. Those who profit from it illegally are not just undermining our borders and our economies, they are truly stealing from the next generation, she said.

Shoes are the finishing touch on any outfit and it is important to complete a look with the perfect pair!
Tracy Reese

When you look into the closet by your front door, what do you find? A myriad of shoes in reds and whites, blues and blacks, and even the occasional green. But how many brown shoes do you own? We're willing to bet it isn't many, and that's a shame! Wear Brown Shoes Day encourages you to add a new shade to your polychromatic footwear, a delightful shade of brown!

History of Wear Brown Shoes Day

Really, it was something of a revolution, and a reclamation. Brown shoes are woefully underrepresented, but one should take a look at the places that they do exist. Brown shoes? Brown shoes are on the feet of the most intrepid adventurers, with heavy brown leather shoes with durable soles guiding them into the wilderness to see where it takes them. Brown shoes? They were the absolute mark of a man who was both respectable, well-off, and yet relaxed enough to not need the high-polished shine of black patent leather to prove themselves.

No indeed, Brown leather shoes are the mark of those who are fully confident and own themselves, those who are not afraid to walk where angels fear to tread, whether in the world of business or in the great outdoors. Even better, brown shows that what you see is absolutely what you get, that's why it's the natural color of leather rather than being dyed to hide its true nature. Want someone to know they can trust you? Wear brown shoes, especially brown leather shoes, because basic brown means basic confidence, basic trust. You know what else is great about brown shoes? They go great with just about anything, they stand out enough to make a statement without clashing with the rest of your ensemble.
