Table October. How to relax on Victory Day
May 1 is an officially recognized public holiday in Russia - a non-working day off. In 2016, this date falls on a Sunday, and according to the law, if holidays coincide with non-working days, the day off is transferred to the next day - Monday, May 2, thereby extending the holiday weekend.
In addition, since the May mini-vacation, which, according to the already established tradition, usually coincides with the opening of the country and "barbecue-picnic" season, is very popular among the people, this year one of the days off that fell on New Year's Day was postponed to May 3 (Tuesday). holidays - Saturday, January 2.
Thus, for the "first May" most of the Russians will "open the season" for four days in a row - starting from Saturday April 30 and ending on Tuesday May 3.
However, for schoolchildren, students and employees of organizations working on a six-day week with working Saturdays, both April 30 and May 3 will not be considered days off. Official "holidays" will be only two days for them (unless, of course, the management of the organization decides on additional days off). And this must be borne in mind if you are planning a vacation for the May holidays with your children.
How to relax on Victory Day
The working week between the first and second May holidays will be very short in 2016: only three days, from Wednesday to Friday.
The celebration of the anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War will take place on Monday - it is on this day of the week that May 9 falls in 2016. It will be celebrated strictly according to the calendar: there are no transfers of weekends or holidays for this weekend.
Therefore, the rest will last three days - "normal" Saturday and Sunday, plus one day allotted for the celebration of Victory Day.

Alcohol calculator 2016
We are all people, and many are also drivers. And often in life there are moments when the next day after the stormy celebration of the next holiday, you need to get behind the wheel. And there are doubts, and whether the traffic police will stop you, and whether the test for alcohol content in the blood will turn out to be positive. To avoid such questions, we present the online service Alcohol Calculator, with which you can easily find out whether you can already sit in the driver's seat or if you should wait for some time until alcohol is completely removed from your blood to the last ppm.
May is one of the most complete months in Russia in terms of days for rest.May 2016 will not be an exception!
This month we only have 19 working days, all the rest will be either weekends or holidays. As for shortened working weeks, there will be none this year in May. This is due to the fact that the ninth of May falls on a Monday and will be considered a full-fledged day off, and the first - on Sunday, which by default is a non-working day, which means that any holiday that falls on it automatically makes the next business day a day off.
So, let's graphically represent all the working days of May 2016:
4 5 6 10 11 12 13 16 17 18 19 20 23 24 25 26 27 30 31
From this line it is perfectly clear that for the first time we go to work in May on the 4th. We also work on 5 and 6 and then a long weekend until May 10
Total this month we have 152 working hours
.
Weekends and holidays in May 2016

May signs
There are quite a lot of signs in May, most of them, of course, are related to the weather. Our ancestors planted land this month and trusted every natural phenomenon to help them get a good harvest in the fall. Therefore, over the course of many years, they managed to identify a number of patterns in nature, which we most often call “signs”.So, here are some of them:
- It is believed that if May is rainy, June will be sunny and not humid.
- Heavy hail in May - all summer there will be strong short-term rains, but without long cloudy days.
- If the number of Maybugs is high, expect excessively dry weather in the summer.
- Foggy May - to rich harvests in the fall.
- Traditionally, there are two cold periods in May - during the flowering of bird cherry and oak.
- Rainy May - dry September.
- The hot beginning of May is a damp end.
