World Bartender Day, celebrated February 24th, is a tribute to the men and women who not only serve drinks but also add to the ambiance of bars and pubs worldwide. The role has its roots in the taverns of the Middle Ages. By the 18th century, the profession became more recognized, especially in England and America, where taverns and pubs played a pivotal role in social life. The term "bartender" emerged in the US in the 19th century. The Prohibition era (1920-1933) in the U.S. had a significant impact on bartending, pushing it underground into speakeasies, where bartenders became crucial in crafting cocktails to mask the taste of poorly made illegal alcohol. There are 400,000+ bartenders in the United States alone. The world record for the most cocktails made in 1 hour by an individual is 1905, set by Sheldon Wiley in New York in 2014. Famous bartenders: Jerry Thomas: The "father of American mixology", 19th century, known for his flamboyant technique and the creation of many classic cocktails. His publication, "The Bartender’s Guide" (1862), was the first drink book ever published in the United States. Ada Coleman: As the head bartender at The Savoy Hotel's American Bar in London in the early 20th century, Ada "Coley" Coleman was one of the first female bartenders to gain international fame. She is best known for her creation, the Hanky Panky cocktail. Celebrate by Doubling your tip to your bartender today! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartender Art&Text🫶ChatGPT

Felix Hoffmann, a chemist at the German pharmaceutical company Bayer, synthesized acetylsalicylic acid in a pure and stable form in 1897. Bayer patented the drug on March 6, 1899 under the name "Aspirin," issued in the US as patent 644,077, on 27 February 1900. It quickly became the world's most widely used medication (and it is today as of 2017). Aspirin was touted for its pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It was indicated for a variety of conditions, including headache, dental pain, menstrual cramps, muscle and joint aches, and fever. Aspirin started as powder, but soon enough was pressed into tablets with the iconic Bayer logo. In the 1970s, studies began to reveal its potential in preventing heart attacks, leading to its use in low doses for cardiovascular protection. In 1982, Sir John Vane won a Nobel Prize for discovering aspirin's action in inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Today, Aspirin is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, highlighting its importance in global health. It's estimated that annually, over 60 billion Aspirin tablets (35,000+ tons) are consumed worldwide, and a trillion since 100 years, underscoring its enduring impact on medicine. Its adoption for cardiovascular disease prevention and its role in pain and fever management make it a cornerstone of modern therapy.

"Reinventing Organizations" is a book by Frederic Laloux that delves into the evolution of human consciousness and how it has shaped organizational structures through history. Organizations span a range from impulsive (red) to pluralistic (green), and a new, evolutionary level called "teal" introduced. Laloux researched 50+ organizations he considers in the teal stage and describes their management practices. Teal organizations' principles are self-management, wholeness, and evolutionary purpose. Self-management removes traditional hierarchies in favor of decentralized decision-making. Wholeness encourages employees to bring their full selves to work, rather than a professional persona. Evolutionary purpose means the organization adapts and grows, driven by its own inherent direction, not a fixed goal. Laloux's inspiration can be traced back to earlier management thinkers and human development psychologists, such as Ken Wilber's Integral Theory, along with the developmental models of Clare W. Graves and the subsequent Spiral Dynamics of Don Beck and Chris Cowan. They have been criticized, lack mainstream academic support, and compared to a cult. The book has inspired business leaders to rethink traditional management practices and explore more holistic, adaptive, empowering ways to organize work, and influenced small startups to large corporations to adopt more conscious practices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinventing_Organizations Art&Text🫶ChatGPT.
