Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Commemorates the Reinheitsgebot of 1516, the beer purity law that decreed beer may contain only water, barley, and hops. The oldest food regulation in the world still in effect. Every brewery celebrates. Every German cites the Reinheitsgebot when defending their beer against foreign additions. The law is sacred. The exceptions are debated.
You discover the Dinaric lynx, brown bears in the Dinaric mountains, and the Dalmatian pelican along the Adriatic coast. You find that Croatian households most commonly have dogs, cats, and occasionally hunting dogs like pointer breeds. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You experience Arak, the anise-flavored spirit central to Arabian hospitality and regional tradition spanning centuries. You also encounter Saudi Arabia's dates, particularly Ajwa dates from Medina, which hold profound cultural and religious significance in daily life and Ramadan observance.
