Science Education Day takes place every March 14 to appreciate the contributions of various individuals, both the young and adults, towards the development of science education. Did you know science education was not standardized in the United States until the 1890s when the Committee of Ten was formed? Science education is a learning field that teaches children, students, and adults physics, chemistry, mathematics and statistics, computer science, and biology. For those keen to pursue studies in science there are plenty of science scholarships available.
International Supply Chain Professionals Day
International Supply Chain Professionals Day on June 7 is an initiative that celebrates all the workers who make the supply chain possible. This holiday goes far beyond truck drivers and container ship captains. It includes everyone from warehouse workers to inventory and transportation planners, export managers, load planners, and so many more. The professionals who get our favorite products from point A to point B wear many different hats, and all play a crucial role in a supply chain’s success – whether they’re working behind a desk or the wheel of a delivery van.
As we continue to confront global disruption in the form of natural disasters, geopolitical conflict, and more, professionals throughout the supply chain are left to adapt. To commend their resilience and show appreciation, supply chain management software company e2open is celebrating International Supply Chain Professionals Day.
Bonalu
Bonalu is celebrated every year in the month of Ashada Masam, which usually falls in July or August according to the Gregorian calendar. This year the festival falls from July 11 to August 1. The festival is celebrated mainly in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, as well as in other parts of the state of Telangana, in honor of the Hindu Goddess Mahakali. It is a merry and colorful affair with women dressing up in their traditional outfits called “sarees”, jewelry, and other accessories. Women carry “Bonam”, a meal made of rice, milk, and jaggery, in earthen pots over their heads as offerings to the goddess.
