As is 
well known by now throughout the world Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts created the smiley face in 1963. That image went on to become the most recognizable symbol of good will and good cheer on the planet.
well known by now throughout the world Harvey Ball, a commercial artist from Worcester, Massachusetts created the smiley face in 1963. That image went on to become the most recognizable symbol of good will and good cheer on the planet.As the years passed Harvey Ball became concerned about the over-commercialization of his symbol, and how its original meaning and intent had become lost in the constant repetition of the marketplace. Out of that concern came his idea for World Smile Day®. He thought that we, all of us, should devote one day each year to smiles and kind acts throughout the world. The smiley face knows no politics, no geography and no religion. Harvey’s idea was that for at least one day each year, neither should we. He declared that the first Friday in October each year would henceforth be World Smile Day®. Ever since that first World Smile Day® held in 1999, it has continued every year in Smiley's hometown of Worcester, MA and around the world.
After Harvey died in 2001, the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation was created to honor his name and memory. The Foundation continues as the official sponsor of World Smile Day® each year.

World elders day 2012 - October 1
Labels:
General Knowledge,
Important Days
World elders day 2012 date is October 1.
There are many cases we have heard nearby that, that couple has sent their parents in old age centres. This is because there arises a vast generation gap between two groups which are increasing day by day. Young generation think by providing food ,clothes and shelter their duty is completed towards them, but important thing is they want our attention, care and time, which becomes difficult for younger’s to give. There arises a tremendous impatience in younger class that they don’t pay any heed of their parents. They compel their parents to leave their homes and settle somewhere else. In this way we, the younger generation, no doubt are committing a crime.
What we are doing?
We all are very familiar with the fact that one day we will also grow old and come in this group. Even then there are many families in this world who forced their parents to leave their own place and live an isolated life. There are many reasons between them like showing disrespect, impatience, ill treatment in front of family members and society, showing them inferior by doing ardent behaviour, which result in severe results against our elders.
How elders suffer?
Stress
When their children misbehave with them they are badly shattered and therefore they come into depression and result in stress.
Psychological and emotional disorders:
Our elders expect lots of exception from their children and when their emotion gets hurt they suffer from physical ailment.
Some cases these people fall sick frequently, feel restless, and remain in isolatation.
Therefore, World Elder Day is dedicated to make our elders happy and calm. Many organisation are working for elders to provide them safe and better life also there are many day boarding’s centres opened for them where they can spend their quality time with others members. The Government should also pay attention towards this group by providing proper security measures and securing their life financially. But still there are many places where this day is celebrated in old aged homes or centres. The only way we can keep our elders happy by satisfying their physical and emotional needs. They want a little attention and time to show themselves that they are also the part of the family. This is the only thing they want from us.
In the last, one should know well that everyone has to face ageing, what we do with our elders same can be repeated by our children. They observe the atmosphere in the house and when they grow up they do the same. So, we all should try to bring the change in our attitude towards elders as they have more knowledge and experience, give more care and attention and also helps to form the strong base of the family.

World Heart Day - September 29
Labels:
General Knowledge,
Important Days
This year in continuation from our 2011 theme of home heart health we will make 2012 the year of cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention among women and children because:
Women/children and CVD are not synonymous:- CVD is commonly considered an “older persons” and a “man’s” disease
- Women underestimate their CVD risk; even though almost half of the 17.3 million annual deaths occur in women
Children are particularly at risk, since they have little control over their environment and can be limited in choices to live heart-healthily
Unless action is taken to enable heart-healthy activity, the children of today are at increased CVD risk later in life Women/mothers are often the « gate keeper » to their family’s health hence a key influencer in keeping their hearts healthyMore Visit: http://www.world-heart-federation.org/what-we-do/awareness/world-heart-day/about-world-heart-day/
