International Toot Your Flute Day
Give yourself a pat on the back and go ahead: toot your own horn (or flute). No musical talent is required to talk up your own game and indulge in some self-promotion.
* Compile a list of reasons why you deserve a raise and present it to your boss.
* Tell your friends and family about your favorite accomplishments, large and small.
* Treat yourself to a night on the town, a mini vacation or a shopping spree, because, well you're that good.
* Woo an ex back by reminding them of your best qualities.
National Taco Day
Do you like your tacos American-style with ground beef, lettuce and tomato in a crispy corn shell? Or do you prefer the more traditional taco in a hot tortilla filled with mashed beans and flavorful shredded meat? Thank the Aztecs for the flat bread made from corn (flour in Northern Mexico) that is the foundation of the taco. The first known publication for a taco recipe appeared in Bertha Haffner-Ginger's 1914 "California Mexican-Spanish Cook Book," according to What's Cooking America. You can make anything with taco fillings and flavors, like make taco spaghetti or salad.

World Space Week
The United Nation celebrates World Space Week from Oct. 4 to 10. The date is significant because the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, was launched on Oct. 4, 1957.
"The Sputnik launch changed everything. As a technical achievement, Sputnik caught the world's attention and the American public off-guard. Its size was more impressive than Vanguard's intended 3.5-pound payload. ... The public feared that the Soviets' ability to launch satellites also translated into the capability to launch ballistic missiles that could carry nuclear weapons from Europe to the U.S. Then the Soviets struck again; on Nov. 3, Sputnik II was launched, carrying a much heavier payload, including a dog named Laika" according to the NASA History Curator.
