Today, November 10, the whole world celebrates World Youth Day. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.

The holiday originated on November 10, 1945, at the World Conference of Youth held in London. On this day, the World Federation of Democratic Youth was founded. Its representatives proposed establishing the holiday and celebrating it with cultural events, scientific conferences, exhibitions, and various flash mobs.

Today, accountants around the world also mark their professional holiday. In 1494, Luca Pacioli published his book "Summa de arithmetica, geometria, proportioni et proportionalita" in Venice, dedicating one chapter to accounting. Thus Pacioli became known as the "father of accounting."

Additionally, today is Black and White Film Day. The holiday is dedicated to watching films that do not use bright colors. On this day, one can watch films such as "Roman Holiday," "The Gold Rush," and "Seventeen Moments of Spring." Or recall Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe. Black and white cinema is a classic that never goes out of style.
