SUMMARY:World Health Day
DESCRIPTION:World Health Day is the global observance of health as a human right. From healthcare professionals to policymakers and individuals\, families with young children or elderly\, we all have a role to play in our personal health and the well-being of those around us. \nAs first-world resources emerge that continue to benefit the overall quality of life for the masses\, one important factor to these advancements is the ability to have consistent access to them. \n\n\n \nAs science continuously is finding ways of extending the duration and quality of our lives\, it’s only right for us to want all people to have access to these advancements no matter where they live. Each year\, thousands of lives are lost at the hand of preventable diseases simply based on geographical limitations. \nAccess to affordable healthcare means more people living meaningful\, productive\, and disease-free lives. According to the World Health Organization (WHO)\, healthcare costs push about 100 million people into extreme poverty each year because of out-of-pocket spending. \nThe World Health Organization uses this observance as an opportunity to release the World Health Statistics Report. This report is an annual publication of health data covering a wide range of areas from newborn and child health to environmental risks. In addition\, the report also provides data on the progression of universal health coverage. \n\n\n \nUniversal health coverage is the number one goal of the World Health Organization. Through achieving this\, everyone would be given access to the care they need\, when they need it. World Health Day is the opportune time to turn back to that aspiration. Like any great feat\, the journey doesn’t come without challenges. Today we invite everyone to celebrate the health they have and believe in an even healthier tomorrow for everyone. \nHOW TO OBSERVE #WorldHealthDay\n\nTake a moment to schedule a checkup with your primary care physician for either you or a loved one. Or better yet\, both!\nTalk with your physician about any concerns you have.\nVisit with family members about health history and provide the information to your doctor.\nLearn your risk factors.\nShare your healthy tips and habits with others.\nShow the world how you celebrate health using the hashtag #WorldHealthDay to post on social media.\n\n\n\n \nWORLD HEALTH DAY HISTORY\nThe World Health Assembly inaugurated World Health Day in 1950 as a celebration to generate awareness for specific health themes. Every year a different primary focus of the World Health Organization is presented in conjunction with World Health Day.

SUMMARY:First Contact Day
DESCRIPTION:First Contact Day on April 5th commemorates a fictional date in the future when an alien species visits Earth and makes contact with Earthlings for the first time. \n\n\n \n#FirstContactDay\nWhile the fictional date of 2063 is less than half a generation away\, mere humans contemplate the possibilities the further we explore space. Not only do the modern explorers keep our interests piqued\, but the science fiction genre continues to pour out stories that thrill and excite us. \nOne of science fiction’s common themes depicts the first meeting between humans and extraterrestrials. Conspiracy theories surround Area 51\, but a popular one speculates that first contact was made there. UFOs often stir up theories about the first contact\, too. The earliest documented sighting of a UFO took place in 1639 and was recorded by the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony\, John Winthrop. \nWhile celebrating the first contact could mean many things\, this celebration focuses on one kind – the Vulcan/humankind meeting. That’s right. It’s a “final frontier” kind of celebration. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE FIRST CONTACT DAY\n\nBrush up on your Star Trek history before you board the U.S.S. Enterprise. Actually\, you’ll need to study a little more recent history of sorts.\nIn any case\, here are some ideas for your celebration.\n\nAttend a first contact re-enactment party\nPractice your Vulcan greeting\nWatch the film Star Trek: First Contact\nVisit Bozeman\, Montana\nShare your first contact stories\nParticipate in online celebrations\nPlay the song “A Magic Carpet Ride”\nDownload and print the day’s coloring page.\n\n\nUse #FirstContactDay to share your experiences and to join the conversation on social media.\n\nSource Link
