On November 1, vegans around the world celebrate their professional holiday – World Vegan Day. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.

Besides their own holiday, vegans also have their own society: it was founded by Donald Watson, one of the main ideologists of veganism. By the way, it was he who coined the word "vegan." Veganism is one of the strictest forms of vegetarianism. Those who want to join them should remember: to become a vegan, you must give up not only meat, but also eggs, dairy products, honey and other animal products. You also have to forget about clothes made of leather, wool and silk. All products and medicines tested on animals are prohibited. The most famous vegans are Clint Eastwood, Natalie Portman, Moby, Lenny Kravitz, Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, etc.

Many people cannot do without their daily coffee. But after enjoying the aromatic drink, why not try to predict the future? Who knows, special patterns might tell you about your upcoming life. Interestingly, in Russia the custom of coffee fortune-telling appeared from the moment Peter I first brought coffee to the country. Wealthy people especially believed in it and invited Romani people to their homes to learn their future.

If you have high organizational skills, extensive knowledge and a quick mind, then today is your professional holiday – Manager's Day. This informal holiday is celebrated in most CIS countries. Boldly implement your ideas, perhaps management will notice your talent, and your affairs will go uphill.
