National Brandied Fruit Day 

National Brandied Fruit Day is celebrated on October 20 each year. Brandied fruit is the perfect snack for those who want something spicy along with the delicious sweetness of fruits. You get your fill of alcohol as well as the healthy nutrients of fruits. What’s not to love? Wine is distilled to get brandy, then once the spirit is ready, sugar, spices, and fruits are added to it and heated. This mixture is then stored in a container and preserved for a while before it is ready to be eaten. The fruit of one’s labor is indeed sweet with this treat.

History of National Brandied Fruit Day

In 1313, people began to distill brandy in France as medicine. It was called ‘eau de vie,’ literally ‘water of life,’ because of its brilliant strengthening and sanitary powers. Brandy, because of its antibacterial components and high volume of alcohol, helps with cold and flu, among several other health benefits.

In 1797, George Washington began the commercial distilling of brandy to be sold as liquor, at the persuasion of his Scottish farm manager, James Anderson. Washington adopted the distilling technique that Anderson learned in Scotland. With Anderson’s help, Washington became the owner of one of the largest distilleries in America. Competing against him was Robert Liard, America’s oldest distiller, with his Applejack distillery founded in 1780 (a few years before Washington’s Mount Vernon distillery). Soon, brandy as a liquor grew in popularity in America.

In the 19th century, brandied fruit became popular around the world. Because there were no refrigerators, fruits easily decomposed. Adding brandy to fruits was discovered to be an easy way to preserve them. Apples, grapes, cherries, blueberries, and even peaches — any kind of fruit could be preserved with brandy. And because brandy enhances the flavor and taste of fruits, the combo turned out to be a delicious dessert for adults. It also serves as the perfect snack in winter to warm oneself up.

He's the only character in my novel with a definitive birthday, since it actually happens in the story.

And on the off-chance that anyone cares, here's an excerpt of that chapter.

“And speaking of which...Curt and I have one last present for you. Stay here.”

Randall left the room, and Con looked so excited that I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. “I promise it ain’t as exciting as whatever you’re thinking.”

“Yeah, it’s nothing big,” Randall said as he returned, his hands behind his back. “And I didn’t really have a chance to wrap it, but…”

He revealed the clothes, neatly folded with the belt coiled on top. “It’s something for you to wear when we go camping from now on,” he explained as Con took them. “The pants are from Curt, but the shirt is mine. Hold it up.”

Con did. Emblazoned on it in faded colors were the words WOLF BOY, along with an image of a ridiculous-looking cartoon werewolf, dressed in painfully “cool” clothes and riding a skateboard. 

“Dad bought it for me not long after I started changing. I guess you could say it has sentimental value. It’ll be extra baggy on you, you know, to make it easier to slip into on Sunday.”

“Like what you and Curtis wear!”

“Exactly.”

Con beamed, but after a moment his face fell, and he wrinkled the shirt nervously. “Yeah, but what if…”

Randall waited. “Yeah?”

“What if I...don’t start changing on Thursday?” His voice was small. As far as I know, it was the first time that he had expressed that worry out loud.

Randall put one hand on his shoulder and crouched down, a wan smile on his face. “Either way, I want you to have it, so that you’ll have something special to wear on our trips. Because you know—even if you ain’t a werewolf, you still get to come with us every week, right? We’ll run around and play and go swimming just like we’ve been doing. And you’re still gonna be our little cub,” he added, ruffling Con’s hair.

Con looked down at his feet. “I know. But I still really hope I change. It’s what I wished for on my birthday candles!”

“Well, now that you’ve told us that it’s not gonna come true.”

“It will too! Right?” Con looked at Randall with fear in his eyes.

Randall gave me a sharp look before saying, “I don’t think thatb makes a difference either way. We’ll just have to wait ‘til Thursday and find out how the curse works, is all.” 

Con nodded, folded the shirt up messily, then stopped to examine the pants. “Hey Curtis, were these the pants that you wore when you first transformed?”

“No. They were my church pants back when I was ten, ‘til I fell down and ripped the knee.”

“Oh,” he said vaguely, sticking his finger through the hole.

Celebrate the vital role of Statistics in National Development.

One hundred and two countries and areas have been celebrating a statistics day, week or month to raise the profile of official statistics. There are variations in the way these events are held. About 80 of the countries celebrate a statistics day annually or intend to do so in the future. Some countries observe either a week-long event, or celebrate a statistics day every 5 years or did so as a one-time occasion. Few countries, not listed here, have not declared an official statistics day but they do raise the visibility of official statistics nationally on the occasion of the launching of an important statistical publication.

Arabs discovering there are Muslim Israeli Arabs in the IDF is a new level of ignorance.

20% of the Israeli population are Arabs. Some join the IDF because guess what, they are Israeli citizens equal to the law the IDF doesn’t protect only the Jewish citizens but all of Israelis.

When Hamas started this war they also killed Muslims and Bedouins from the south of Israel.
