Seasons
Seasons, four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) characterized by certain average temperatures. The period during which the Sun passes through one of these sectors is called the season. Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the Sun passes through the initial circle of declination and its right ascension is 0° (vernal equinox). Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the sun's right ascension is 90° (summer solstice). Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the sun's right ascension is 180° (autumnal equinox). The beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere is considered to be the winter solstice, when the direct ascension of the Sun is 270°... Next: Seasons.

Folk calendar about every day
Every day one season always replaces another and this determines a person’s way of life. In connection with this, a folk calendar was formed in which there were practically no nameless, unmarked days. Every day was special, had its own purpose. All this was determined by climate conditions and astrological phenomena.
A calendar is a system for counting periods of time. The first calendars arose a long time ago, in ancient times, because there was a need to measure time. The word calendar comes from the Latin words caleo - to proclaim and calendarium - debt book. This is due to the fact that in Ancient Rome the beginning of each month was especially proclaimed, and because it was customary to pay debts on the first day of the month. Different peoples counted time differently. Some calendars are based on the changing phases of the moon - lunar calendars; in others - the change of seasons - sunny; in others, the length of the year was coordinated with the change of seasons, and the counting of months was associated with the phases of the Moon. Such calendars are called lunisolar.
In Rus', the calendar was called a monthly calendar. Every day, the month book covered the entire year of peasant life, “describing” day by day, month after month, where each day had its own holidays or weekdays, customs and superstitions, traditions and rituals, natural signs and phenomena. The cyclical nature of the calendar is reminiscent of human life, where spring is youth, summer is heyday, autumn is the time of harvesting fruits (it’s good if there are some, otherwise you can live your life without collecting fruits), winter is the time of wisdom and peace. This cyclicality and rhythm determined the way of life of the farmer. The folk calendar was an agricultural calendar, which was reflected in the names of the months, folk signs, rituals and customs. Even the determination of the timing and duration of the seasons is associated with real climatic conditions. Hence the discrepancy between the names of the months in different areas...

Fishing calendar for every day
The fishing calendar should not be taken as an absolutely indisputable truth. Fish biting is greatly influenced by a whole range of natural factors, as well as the influence on the nature of man himself. You must not forget that the fish’s bite depends and is determined not only by the calendar dates and biological cycles of their life, reflected in the calendar, but also, no less, by the state of their habitat; the bite also depends on weather conditions: air and water temperatures, cloudiness, wind direction and strength, etc...

Orthodox calendar about every day
Orthodox calendar: Orthodox, Church and Christian holidays.
The church year is an alternation of weekdays and holidays. On weekdays, a person is called to work “by the sweat of his brow to earn his bread.” Holidays are given in order to feel liberation, to rise above the bustle and routine of the world, to feel involved in the highest of worlds, “where there are no illnesses, sorrows and sighs, but endless life.” Since ancient times, holiday cycles have been associated with the seasons. The pagans associated them with the worship of the forces of nature, the cult of which in the Old Testament was replaced by gratitude to the Creator for the universe. And although the connection between holidays and the seasons has not completely lost its power, since God is present in everything, in the plant and animal world, in human works, it nevertheless faded into the background, giving way to a spiritual foundation built on the Sacred Scriptures. The history of Orthodox holidays dates back to the times of the Old Testament. Each of the Orthodox holidays is dedicated to the remembrance of the most important events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, as well as the memory of saints...

Russian folk calendar for every day
The word “sign” comes from the word “notice”, i.e. observe. As a result of observing what happens around a person every day, he accumulates life experience. This knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, carefully preserved and people trusted it as a sacred book. Many signs have come to us from the depths of centuries without losing their knowledge. Each of us is free to choose: to dismiss all this as an absurd superstition or to take a closer look at the signs and take the centuries-old experience of generations more seriously. Most of us, when taking exams, ask them to scold them, boasting about some kind of good fortune or luck, spit so as not to jinx them or knock on wood, take a detour if a black cat crossed the road, are afraid of the number 13 and much more. And who among us does not have lucky things, numbers? Who has never resorted to the help of fate at least once in their life, who has not believed in secrets? It’s as if everything connected with signs is hidden somewhere deep in our subconscious. Often we remember them mechanically, unconsciously, or just as a joke. But, undoubtedly, the signs contain a lot of accurate knowledge and practical wisdom of our ancestors. They cover all the characteristic, often difficult to perceive, natural phenomena. Signs have preserved a lot of what was in old folk holidays and customs; they help predict the weather, grow crops... Next: Folk signs...
Amur region
The Amur Region is a subject of the Russian Federation and is part of the Far Eastern Federal District. The administrative center is the city of Blagoveshchensk.
The region was formed on October 20, 1932 as part of the Far Eastern, and since 1938 Khabarovsk, region. By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of August 2, 1948, it was allocated as an independent region. It included districts of the Chita region. At the same time, the Verkhnebureinsky district was transferred to the Khabarovsk Territory, so in 1948 there were 23 districts in the region.
Currently, according to the Charter of the Amur Region, the subject of the Russian Federation includes the following administrative-territorial units: 7 cities of regional significance - Belogorsk, Blagoveshchensk, Zeya, Raichikhinsk, Svobodny, Tynda, Shimanovsk, 20 districts and the closed administrative-territorial entity Tsiolkovsky.
The population of the region according to 2021 data is 801,752 people. The territory area is 361,908 km². The Amur region borders the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) in the north, the Khabarovsk Territory in the east, the Jewish Autonomous Region in the southeast, and the Trans-Baikal Territory in the west. The southeastern border of the Amur Region is also the state border of the Russian Federation and borders the People's Republic of China.
The region has no direct access to the seas. Most of it is located in the Upper and Middle Amur basin, which determines its name. The Amur River flows in the south for 1246 km. The climate of the Amur Region is transitional from sharply continental in the northwest to monsoon in the southeast. The formation of such a climate is due to the interaction of solar radiation, circulation of air masses and the following geographical factors: latitudinal position, remoteness of the territory from the sea, influence of the underlying surface in the form of relief, vegetation, and water bodies.
Winter in the region is harsh. Summer in the south of the region is very warm with sufficient or excessive moisture. Average absolute maximum temperatures in the north of the region can reach 38 °C, and in the south up to 40 °C. The entire region is characterized by a summer maximum precipitation, which is due to the monsoon climate.

The region is home to 64 species of mammals, more than 320 species of birds, 9 species of reptiles, 6 species of amphibians; in rivers and lakes there are over 70 species of fish. Insects and invertebrates are very diverse, but it is simply impossible to name the number of species due to poor knowledge of this group. In the animal world, as well as in the plant world, there was a mixture of various faunas - East Siberian, Amur, Okhotsk, Mongol-Daurian, high-mountain.
The region is included in the 8th time zone together with the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), where the difference with Moscow time is 6 hours.
Main industries: electric power, mining (gold, coal), forestry and woodworking, production of building materials. Currently, the Amur Region specializes in generating electricity, mining brown coal, gold, harvesting commercial timber and forest products from it, and producing mechanical engineering and metalworking products.

Countries and cities of the World
Most major cities in the world have their own telephone code. To simplify and systematize, international telephone numbers are also used to reach a specific country. Therefore, to call any city in the world, you must first dial the international country code, and then that city.
A telephone code is unique only within its own country. And besides, some small towns are combined into groups with the same prefixes.

Zodiac, astrological, eastern calendar. Zodiac signs
In ancient times, to establish the calendar, priests used knowledge of the positions of all the planets. Before the reform of Peter 1, the New Year was celebrated on the Day of the Autumn Equinox. On this day, according to ancient legend, the most peaceful treaty was concluded between the Great Race (ancient Slavs) and the Great Dragon (ancient Chinese) and it was approximately 7518 years ago... For the ancient Slavs, the calendar month corresponded to the lunar cycle from new moon to new moon, taking into account such Thus, the relationship of the entire annual cycle with astronomical and natural phenomena. There was no coherent calendar system. The main natural phenomena are still considered to this day to be the days of the solar equinox and solstice - the Slavic holidays Maslenitsa, Kupala, Ovsen and Kolyada. But during the time of Peter 1, all ancient Slavic calendars were abolished and a new Western European calendar from the Nativity of Christ (Julian calendar) was introduced, while the beginning of the calendar was moved to January 1. The Julian calendar (old style) did not take leap days into account and accumulated one extra day every 128 years. After the October Revolution in 1918, the Gregorian calendar (new style) was introduced in Russia, according to which an amendment of 13 days was introduced. The calendar of the ancient Slavs was based on two planets: the Sun and the Moon. And now they don’t use anything at all. The calendar has become static. There is no such thing as the calendar, it turns out, resting on some planet. Nobody even knows about it. There are just some standard numbers, there are months and holidays. The calendar is based on the Sun and Moon. Why is this so? Because these two luminaries influence the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. And these two luminaries create the atmosphere on the planet. From here the calendar is built... Next: Astrological calendar...
Road connections
The main transport system of the region is the Trans-Siberian Railway, which runs throughout the southern part. In addition, the Baikal-Amur Mainline, which extends north from the Trans-Siberian Railway, is of great importance.
