Hinamatsuri in Japan Date in the current year: March 3, 2021

Hinamatsuri in JapanHinamatsuri is a special holiday in Japan, that is celebrated on March 3. This holiday is sometimes called Doll's Day of Girls' Day.
Hinamatsuri has old customs, that were born during the Heian period (794-1185). At those times people believed, that the dolls possessed the power to contain bad spirits. Setting straw hina dolls afloat on boat and sending them down a river to the sea would take down evil spirits and troubles with them.

The tradition of sending hina dolls afloat on the river is not practiced any more, because the dolls are caught into the fishermen's nets. Instead of this the dolls are sent directly out to the sea, and when spectators go away, the boats with the dolls are taken out of the water and brought to the temple. There all the dolls are burned down.

Traditional dishes are made to celebrate Hinamatsuri festival. A customary drink is a sake made from fermented rice. The bite-sized crackers flavored with sugar or soy sauce (hina-arare), diamond-shaped coloured rice cake (hishimochi) and sushi rice flavored with vinegar, rice and topped with raw fish (chirashizushi) are often eaten on this day.

Tell a Fairy Tale Day Date in the current year: February 26, 2021

Tell a Fairy Tale DayTell a Fairy Tale Day is an informal observance held on February 26. It provides a perfect opportunity to read fairy tales to your kids and enjoy your favorite childhood tales yourself.
A fairy tale is a short story that typically features fantasy characters and magic. Fairy tales usually take place once upon a time and have a happy ending: evil characters are punished and good characters live happily ever after.

Fairy tale collections are usually the first books read by children (not counting alphabet books, of course). But children are introduced to fairy tales much earlier than they start to read, because fairy tales are the most common type of bedtime story.

Even if you don't have children or your kids are not around, you should not miss the opportunity to reacquaint yourself with fairy tales. It's perfectly okay to read fairy tale books alone. Make a cup of hot chocolate, curl up in a chair and immerse yourself in the world of princes and princesses, evil witches and beautiful fairies, dragons and unicorns, talking animals and magical plants.

World Days Without Phone & Smartphone Date in the current year: February 6, 2021

World Days Without Phone & SmartphoneTry a digital detox on February 6, 7 and/or 8 by participating in World Days Without Phone & Smartphone (Journées mondiales sans téléphone portable & smartphone), an annual campaign that was launched over two decades ago.
Smartphones have become an integral part of our lives, replacing a whole bunch of other gadgets, including portable media players, simple digital cameras, personal navigation assistants, handheld game consoles, alarm clocks, personal digital assistants, and more. No one can deny that they have made our lives much easier; however, every medal has its reverse.

Psychologists, sociologists, medical experts and other professionals have been investigating the relationships between mobile phone use and mental health for quite some time. In 2008, they coined the term “nomophobia” (short for “no mobile phobia”) for the fear of, or anxiety caused by, having no access to a working mobile phone.

Although the term is supposed to be humorous and nomophobia doesn’t appear on the DSM-5, the stress people experience when they are anxious about running out of battery, having no network coverage or losing their mobile phone is real. That is why more and more people are growing concerned with how overuse of smartphones affects our lives

World Day Without Cell Phone was conceived by the French author Phil Marso, partly to promote his detective novel titled Tueur de portable sans mobile apparent (Mobile Phone Killer with no Apparent Mobile), and partly to raise awareness of our increasing dependence on cell phones. While Marso is not against mobile phones per se, he believes that we shouldn’t rely on them too much, and it might be beneficial to give up your phone for at least one day a year in order to rethink its role in your life.

The inaugural World Day Without Cell Phone was held on February 6, 2001. Marso chose such a date as a reference to a line in the popular song «Le téléfon» by Nino Ferrer: «Gaston y a l'téléfon qui son / Et y a jamais person qui y répond» (“Gaston, the phone rings / But nobody ever picks up”); February 6 is the feast day of Saint Gaston, commonly known as Saint Vedast outside France.

In 2004, World Day Without Cell Phone was expanded to three days, from February 6 to 8. The campaign is currently known as World Days Without Phone & Smartphone. Of course, it’s up to you to decide how long your “digital abstinence” is going to last; some people manage to go without their phones for all three days, and some decide that one day is enough for a digital detox.

In addition to raising awareness of nomophobia, the World Days Without Phone & Smartphone campaign aims to draw attention to other issues, such as the impact of mobile phones on the environment, cyberbullying, etc. In some countries, people even organize protests against the increase of cell phone plan prices.

Alongside World Days Without Phone & Smartphone, there are at least two more days when you can take a break from technology and the endless flow of new information you have to deal with every day: International Internet-Free Day (January 31) and World Day Without Wi-Fi (November 8).

Below are nine letters - from those nine make as many words as you can of four letters or more:-

"T" MUST appear in every word.

U A M A R I T C are the other 8 letters you can use.

Tip - put the eight letters in a circle round "T"

Probably my favourite tv quiz show even though I only get about 1 in 10 clues.
Find round one really hard, do quite a bit better in round two with the clues in order, usually get 2 or 3 of the links in the wall, and get most on the clues in the missing letters round.

What INSTRUMENTAL tracks have reached the UK "top ten" since 1950?
Also please name artist or group.

Please have one go at a time, and allow another "Pastimers" brain cell to delve into the mists of waybackthen.

Safer Internet Day is an annual observance organized by the Insafe network each February. It is dedicated to raising awareness of emerging online issues, from social networking to cyberbullying, and making Internet a safer place for kids and young people across the world.
Safer Internet Day was founded in 2004 as an initiative of the European Union SafeBorder project. The next year, the Insafe network took over the organization. Originally a European observance, Safer Internet Day is celebrated across all populated continents, in over 100 countries. It promotes more responsible use of Internet and gadgets by children and young people who are growing up in a digital environment.

Technology has become an integral part of our lives, but a lot of people are unaware of the challenges and opportunities online. That's why Safer Internet Day is so important. It aims to educate people of all ages across the world about Internet through events at schools and colleges, conferences, press conferences, and other events. On this day, industry professionals gather to exchange their ideas on what a safer and better online world is and how to create it.

There are a lot of ways to celebrate Safer Internet Day. You can get involved in internet safety debates, create and promote positive content, report illegal and harmful content, teach children digital literacy skill, etc.
