Happy Father day

Father's Day is a holiday of honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society. In Catholic countries of Europe, it has been celebrated on March 19 as Saint Joseph's Day since the Middle Ages. In the United States, Father's Day was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd,^[1][2][3] and celebrated on the third Sunday of June for the first time in 1910. The day is held on various dates across the world, and different regions maintain their own traditions of honoring fatherhood.

Father's Day is a recognized public holiday in Lithuania and some parts of Spain and was regarded as such in Italy until 1977. It is a national holiday in Estonia, Samoa, and equivalently in South Korea, where it is celebrated as Parents' Day. The holiday complements similar celebrations honoring family members, such as Mother's Day, Siblings Day, and Grandparents' Day.

Norooz Bal

The Persian New Year, Norooz, is traditionally celebrated on 21st March in Iran and many other countries in the region. But in the past, the people of Gilan, in northern Iran, used to have a parallel New Year ceremony called Norooz Bal which was held in early August.
The word Bal, meaning flame, refers to the fires which were lit on mountain tops to herald the arrival of Norooz for the villages below. This was the responsibility of the herdsmen and shepherds who used to migrate to the mountain grazing lands during the summer. They gathered around the fire, thanked God for his bounty during the season, hugged and congratulated each other on the arrival of the New Year. The settled farmers living in the surrounding villages took part in these celebrations too, wearing new clothes and performing various traditional games.

The timing of the Norooz Bal suited the rhythm of the settled farmers and migratory herdsmen of Gilan. High summer is a time when the lambing season is over, the flocks have reached their milking capacity and the herdsmen start preparing to leave the summer grazing grounds and move towards the plains. The settled farmers in the low lands too would have harvested their crops and are ready for a respite.

The Norooz Bal tradition, abandoned for many decades, has now been revived and celebrated in the area for the last four years ago. In this multimedia report we see many colourful scenes of these joyful festivities.

Usage

Many varieties of bitter orange are used for their essential oil, and are found in perfume, used as a flavoring or as a solvent. The Seville orange variety is used in the production of marmalade.

Bitter orange is also employed in herbal medicine as a stimulant and appetite suppressant, due to its active ingredient, synephrine. Bitter orange supplements have been linked to a number of serious side effects and deaths, and consumer groups advocate that people avoid using the fruit medically. It is still not concluded if bitter orange affects medical conditions of heart and cardiovascular organs, by itself or in formulae with other substances.
