October will be the 100th anniversary of the end of the Ottoman Empire, when the Republic of Turkey was established in its place in 1923, after the empire’s defeat in WW1 and the victory of the Turkish national movement led by Atatürk in the Turkish War of Independence.

December will see the anniversaries for two important events in US political history and, in particular, the civil rights movement. On 1st December it will be the anniversary of Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger in 1955, and on 6th December it will be the anniversary of the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery in the US.

The big anniversary this month will be on 28th August, when we celebrate the 60th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous ‘I have a dream’ speech.

December – The Thirteenth Amendment of the US Constitution was ratified in 1865, abolishing slavery in the US Many anniversaries have special names. Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home by Emily Post, published in 1922, contained suggestions for wedding anniversary gifts for 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, and 75 years. [10] Wedding anniversary gift suggestions for other years were added in later editions and publications; they now comprise what is referred to as the "traditional" list. Generally speaking, the longer the period, the more precious or durable the material associated with it.

There are variations according to some national traditions. There exist numerous partially overlapping, partially contradictory lists of anniversary gifts (such as wedding stones), separate from the "traditional" names. The 178bhp Skyactiv-X engine is still the party piece - as Mazda pushes forwards with plans to eke the most out of combustion engines rather than rely on pure electrification alone. At start-up, it acts like a petroland it isn’t until mid-revs that it begins to mimic the sound of a diesel, before returning to the feel of a slightly raspy petrol beyond 4500rpm. Ultimately, most drivers will barely notice the difference. Probably [ attribution needed] a modern coined term: quartoseptcentennial; literally one-quarter (quarto-) × seven (sept-) × 100 years (centennial)—also quartoseptcentenary. [3]

Roman fractions were based on a duodecimal system. From 1⁄ 12 to 8⁄ 12 they were expressed as multiples of twelfths ( uncia "twelfth"; the source of the English words inch and ounce) and from 9⁄ 12 to 11⁄ 12 they were expressed as multiple twelfths less than the next whole unit—i.e. a whole unit less 3⁄ 12, 2⁄ 12 or 1⁄ 12 respectively. There were also special terms for quarter ( quadrans), half ( semis), and three-quarters ( dodrans). Dodrans is a Latin contraction of de-quadrans which means "a whole unit less a quarter" ( de means "from"; quadrans means "quarter"). Thus for the example of 175 years, the term is a quarter century less than the next whole (bi)century or 175 = (−25 + 200). [1] Biannual' means twice in a year, but is also commonly used incorrectly to mean once every two years ('biennial').

Sesquarcentennial is a modern coined term; sesquarcentennial for 350 years is deduced here from the " Sestertius" definition for 250 years above. For 350 years it relates to being halfway from the third to the fourth integer; thus a contraction of semis (halfway) and quartus (fourth); hence Sesquarcentennial. Semiseptcennial is probably [ attribution needed] a modern coined term: semi- (half) × sept (7) × cen(t)- (100) × centennial (350 years).
