Waitangi Day in New Zealand

February 6th is New Zealand's National Day. Back in 1840, on the coast of the Waitangi River, the British and Maori signed the Treaty of Waitangi. This treaty forever dispelled tensions between the Maori population and the new European settlers. According to historical data, it is known that at the end of the 19th century, dirty trade and illegal purchase and sale of land were carried out in New Zealand. French immigrants provided serious competition. The British Empire promised to deal with lawlessness and return the Maori to their rightful land, and equalize their powers with the British. In return for this, the Maori were offered British citizenship. The treaty, which included these proposals, was signed on February 6, 1840 by William Hobson, the first governor of New Zealand to represent the interests of the British Crown, and the Maori chiefs. In 1840, New Zealand was already officially part of the British Empire. Initially, the text of this agreement was compiled in English, and then translated into Maori. Errors in translation and the absence of much legal and government terminology in the Maori language caused great disagreement in the interpretation of the rights established by this treaty. This agreement was not yet adopted unanimously; some Maori leaders refused to sign it. There are still tensions and disagreements over the signing of that treaty, but despite this, Waitangi Day is celebrated throughout the country. The festival includes various concerts, presentations of the cultural heritage of the Maori people, beautiful exhibitions and various games. The biggest celebration takes place on the Waitangi coast. Early on the morning of February 6, a ceremony is held to raise the New Zealand flag. The scene of signing the contract is played out. After all the opening speeches have been made, the celebration begins. On this day you can visit the museum, watch folk dances, listen to wonderful music, watch and take part in traditional Maori ritual ceremonies.

Aksinya's day, Ksenia the half-winter

On February 6, the memory of Xenia of Milas was revered; she was a Christian saint, who was revered by the Orthodox Church as a saint. Ksenia decided to devote her existence to God, take a vow of celibacy, having made such a decision, she left Rome and headed to the island of Kos. Arriving at the place, Ksenia took monastic vows, a little time passed, and a whole monastic community formed around her. It is known that the saint led an ascetic existence and denied herself everything. Our ancestors, who lived in the northern provinces, noticed that on Aksinya’s day winter was approaching the middle, so they called the saint by this nickname. It was believed that by this time half of the winter supply of bread should already be eaten. The peasants said: “Half-winter in half, but it doesn’t divide the winter evenly - by spring it’s harder for the peasant.” On this day, “economic” signs took place: peasants carefully checked the prices of bread. If grain became cheaper at the market, people knew that there would be a rich harvest. They also said that if the price of bread is low during the half-winter season, then it will not rise until the new harvest. There were other methods of fortune telling. It was necessary to weigh the loaf in the evening and the next morning. If bread loses its weight overnight, that means its price will decrease and vice versa. This tradition was in the north. In the south there was a different custom: rye bread was also left for the whole night, and in the morning you had to look at it. If there seemed to be more grain than initially there was, you can expect a good harvest in the summer. Aksinya's day was also called the spring indicator. It was believed that the weather of this day corresponded to the weather of the entire spring.

Historical events of February 6

France of the 16th-17th centuries was a unique arena of inter-class struggle, which was expressed in sword fights - duels. In that historical period The so-called “blurring” of class boundaries took place in the country; the noble “caste” was actively assimilated with the military, the clergy and the mob. But, despite the first prerequisites for the formation of the French civil society, ancient traditions and foundations still prevailed, especially in the noble society, in which the principles of honor and dignity stood above all else. Naturally, when different social communities collided, so-called inter-class clashes occurred, which were expressed in armed street clashes. The duel could be provoked by particularly serious reasons, such as blood feud, self-defense or protection of a woman or child, jealousy, or completely harmless ones, such as an offensive word, a misunderstood gesture or a disliked look. In the worldview of the youth of that era, the dominant stereotype was that only through a duel can one psychologically assert oneself as an individual and rise up the social and career ladder. In addition, duels often took place on the basis of jealousy, and the winner, according to an unspoken rule, was the first contender for the woman’s heart. Fatal fights were commonplace in France at that time. Since the beginning of the 17th century, various bans on dueling were issued many times in France, but they did not produce significant results. Cardinal Richelieu of France put an end to duels; he drew up a decree banning duels, the document was signed by King Louis. It ordered the execution of those who provoked the duel, and those who succumbed to the provocation, to be deprived of all positions, pensions and other royal favors.

On February 6, 1886, the German chemist Clemens Winkle, analyzing the argyrodite mineral, discovered a new chemical element. The scientist decided to name the new element in honor of his state - “germanium”. The great Mendileev absolutely agreed with this discovery and with this decision. Mendeleev called the discovery of "germanium" the crown of his periodic table. After the support of the discovery of Winkle and Mendeleev, the fate of the new chemical element was decided, it entered forever periodic table chemical elements Mendeleev. The two outstanding scientists maintained an active correspondence until their deaths and were close comrades and colleagues in science. Later it became clear that “germanium” is the most important element contributing to the development of scientific and technological progress. In the future, “germanium” as a semiconductor began to be used in the production of circuits for radio and television equipment, computing equipment and measuring devices. Already in our time, the immunological properties of “germanium” were discovered; as a result, the element can fight oncological diseases. In addition, it delivers oxygen to all tissues and organs of the human body.

On May 7, 1895, the outstanding Russian physicist and inventor Alexander Popov showed in action the device he created and called the “lightning detector.” The purpose of the device was to register electromagnetic waves. In the history of science and technology, Popov’s apparatus is considered the first unique radio receiver capable of wireless telegraphy. In 1897, using a wireless telegraph communication device, Popov was able to transmit telegraph messages between a coastal naval base and a warship. The triumph of the Popov system can be considered an incident that occurred in the winter of 1899, when the Russian warship Admiral General Apraksin stumbled upon underwater reefs near the island of Gogland, off the coast of Finland. To organize a rescue operation, reliable and clear communications were required. In this case, the wired telegraph line could not help the sailors in distress; it was decided to involve Popov’s wireless telegraph apparatus in the operation. By February 6, 1900, the rescue team managed to establish constant, reliable radiotelegraph communication. At the same time, fishermen were in distress at sea, drifting on an ice floe that had broken away from the glacier; only a ship that arrived in time could save them. Popov managed to transmit a radiotelegraph message to the icebreaker Ermak, the ship immediately put to sea - the fishermen were saved. In April 1900, the battleship Apraksin was released from “stone captivity”, and Popov’s wireless telegraph was adopted for the needs of the fleet.
