National Themes For October 4 National Taco Day, National Golf Lover’s Day, National Vodka Day, National Manufacturing Day, and National Body Language Day.

🌮National Taco Day! The history of tacos predates the arrival of Europeans in Mexico. Anthropological evidence shows the native people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate tacos filled with small fish. At the time of the Spanish conquistadors, Bernal Diaz del Castillo documented the first taco feast enjoyed by Europeans. This meal was arranged by Hernan Cortes for his captains in Coyoacan. It is unclear why the Spanish used the word taco to describe this native food. One suggested origin is the word ataco, meaning stuff or to stuff. In 1964, Roberto L. Gomez established The National Taco Council. The council sent a 55-pound taco to President Johnson in 1967. National Taco Day began in 2009.

It is believed that the modern game of golf originated in 15th century Scotland. It is unclear and very much debated as to its ancient origins.

Today’s science, technology, engineering, and math graduates will power the next chapter of American production and innovation, and harnessing their potential is an economic imperative.

🚶‍♀️National Body Language Day recognizes the significance of nonverbal communication in your life. These are the silent messages you don’t realize you’re sending in your interactions with others. From a smile to a shoulder shrug, your body is revealing your emotions and thoughts. In 1872, Charles Darwin detailed his observations of nonverbal behavior in his book, “The Expression Of Emotion In Man and Animals.” He noticed both people and humans use body language to communicate. Long before Charles Darwin, primitive people relied on body language – hand motions and gestures, facial expressions and paralanguage (grunts and sounds) to communicate their needs, wants and concerns. Depending on the signals, trust or distrust was developed based on body language signs. Forms of Expression and Communication Body language is a form of survival when you can’t use words. Your minute movements reveal your unspoken thoughts. To overcome language barriers, you use body language to talk to and to understand people when you don’t speak the same language. Couples use body language as a silent communication to express their emotions for their partner. Parents use body language with their infants and young children until they can speak. Using facial expressions, gestures, movements and speech sounds, babies communicate their wants and needs. In the same way, they also read their parents’ emotions to know when they’re happy, sad, mad. Many people use body language to read other people so they can understand what they’re feeling. People who suffer strokes or have partial paralysis and other medical conditions where speech is difficult, use body language to communicate. They use eye movement such as blinking or looking at an object to communicate needs and wants.
