Aortic Dissection Awareness Day is observed on September 19 every year. The objective of the day is to raise awareness about aortic dissection, a relatively unknown but life-threatening disorder. Several organizations across the globe offer patients, their families, medical professionals, and the general public a range of resources to help them understand the condition better. Aortic dissection is a condition in which the inner layer of the body’s main artery (aorta) tears. Blood flowing through the aorta rushes out through the tear, which causes the inner and middle layers of the artery to split. If the individual’s blood seeps through the outermost layer of the aorta, the dissection is usually deadly.
National Cartonnage Day
National Cartonnage Day is celebrated on September 18 every year. It is a day meant to celebrate the art of cartonnage, or making boxes. The practice originated in France in the 19th century and has seen a bit of a resurgence recently. More and more people are realizing the joy of cartonnage and creating boxes out of a variety of fabrics and materials to decorate their living spaces. This centuries-old practice involves creating fabric-covered boxes from the inside out, with cardboard as the base. Fabric is later laminated to the base and then embellished to the artist’s liking.
Global Company Culture Day
Global Company Culture Day is observed on September 18 every year. It is a day for companies and organizational leaders to focus on ensuring that their company’s culture functions in a way that maximizes productivity, profitability, and the happiness of their employees. Global Company Culture Day was created by the Global Company Culture Association in 2019. The term ‘company culture’ has gained a lot of traction of late. It refers to “the attitudes and behaviors of a company and its employees.” It is entirely intangible but can be observed in the way the people in an organization behave, the values they hold, and the decisions they make.
