Cyprus Edition
World Pocket Notebook Day leads today's complete edition for Cyprus.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for lists, sketches, phone numbers, recipes, reminders, ideas, and the old power of writing something down.
Nameday for Nikos and Nikolaos, which in Cyprus means practically everyone. St. Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, and on an island, every family has a sailor, a fisherman, or someone who has crossed the sea and come back with stories.
You discover that the British Indian Ocean Territory is home to hawksbill sea turtles, manta rays, and numerous seabird species including frigatebirds and boobies. You observe that residents primarily keep cats and dogs as pets, with occasional ornamental fish. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
