The International Day of Radiology (IDoR) is a yearly event commemorated on November 8, the anniversary of the discovery of x-rays, and promotes radiology’s role in healthcare. The European Society of Radiology (E.S.R.), the Radiological Society of North America, and the American College of Radiology (A.C.R.) jointly launched it in 2012. Nearly 200 national sub-specialty and allied organizations around the world recognize and celebrate the International Day of Radiology. Every year, a theme is chosen that focuses on various radiology specialties.
National Advent Calendar Day
National Advent Calendar Day is observed on the first Wednesday of November, which is November 5 this year. This festival commemorates the launch of Aldi’s popular Advent calendars and serves as a kickoff to the holiday season. Advent calendars are a wonderful way to spread holiday cheer among friends and family, as they provide an opportunity to uncover a new surprise each day as you count down to the holidays. Aldi came up with the idea for the holiday in 2020.
National Henry C. Ramos Day
National Henry C. Ramos Day on October 27 was founded by William Grant & Sons to celebrate and honor Henry C. Ramos for his famous cocktail formulation. Ramos is best known as the creator of the Gin Fizz — the iconic and best cocktail in the fizz family. The Ramos Gin Fizz is a mixture of lemon juice and sugar, topped with ice and carbonated water. There have been debates over who the original creator of the drink was. Some attribute it to Henry’s brother, Henrico C. Ramos, while others maintain that the famous bartender himself created the cocktail.
