Holidays august 1
Day of Professional Collection Officers
The collection service was first created under the State Bank of the USSR in 1939, although the need for armed security and escort of funds appeared during the heyday of Kievan Rus. Then the trade caravans were guarded by the forces of the boyar squads, and starting from the XVI century, the Sourozh merchants sent their caravans with an impressive guard, headed by a representative of the richest layer. Collection was allocated later - when it became necessary to collect and deliver money to banks. The attendants of the service - collectors - deliver money and valuables to the bank's operating cash desk. As the turnover of banks grows, the collection service is constantly evolving.
Rear Day of the Armed Forces of Russia
The Ministry of Defense approved the holiday on May 7, 1998, but the real reference point is the year 1700, when, according to the decree of Peter I, all grain stocks in Russia were transferred to the subordination of the military people of Okolnichy Yazykov, the manager himself received the title of Providence General. The supply of bread and fodder for the army was carried out by a special body - the Providence order, which was the prototype of the food supply, which today is the leading type of support for the troops.
During the years of World War II, the rear was separated as an independent type of armed forces, headed by the chief of rear services of the Red Army. Other departments subordinated to him - sanitary, veterinary, commissary and fuel supply management. And today, the rear is considered an important part of the defense potential of the country and the army, it is a really well-coordinated mechanism linking the country's economy and troops consuming products.
Day of the Azerbaijani alphabet and language
The new Azerbaijani alphabet in Latin script began to be used at the end of the 20s of the last century, but actively served only 10 years, then it was decided to switch to the Cyrillic alphabet. Thus, the real language has become a real champion in the transition of the alphabet. The new alphabet began to be actively introduced after the collapse of the USSR, and for some time publications were issued in two languages. The transition to the Latin script was completed on August 1, 2001 by decree of President Heydar Aliyev.

Makrinin day, Mokriny
Rev. Makrina Cappadocian - sister of St. Basil. They lived in the 4th century and were raised in piety and obedience. After taking the vow of monasticism, the nun settled near the Iris River. The chastity of Makrina evoked great respect; many noble ladies and virgins came to her. Even in illness, she did not strip herself to doctors, but merely begged God for healing. Soon a reward for faith followed - miraculous healing and the gift of miracles. In Russia, the name of the holy miracle worker is associated with the approach of autumn: "Makrina is wet - and autumn is wet."

August 1, 1774 - evolution of molecular oxygen by Joseph Priestley
Even Chinese manuscripts of the 8th century mentioned oxygen, and in the 16th century Leonardo da Vinci deeply studied the chemistry of the element, not knowing that it was oxygen, and only Joseph Priestley was able to decompose mercury oxide using a sun beam directed at the lens. The scientist called the gas obtained at the same time "de-logged air", considering it to be a composite, but not a separate element.
Later, the scientist found that oxygen, being only a part of the air, is contained in many substances. The Swedish chemist Karl Scheele came to the same conclusions a few years later, receiving oxygen, calcining nitrate. In 1777, he called the resulting gas "Fire Air." The Priestley buddy, the scientist Lavoisier, finally understood everything, so the discovery of molecular oxygen can be attributed to three scientists.
