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 cooking fires, candles, heaters, lamps, grills, ceremonies, workshops, and the respect every culture gives controlled fire.
Nine days before Christmas, Grenadians wake before dawn to walk the streets, sing carols, and drink cocoa tea. The tradition started with the Catholic novena, but the pre-dawn street parties are purely Grenadian. Every village has its own program.
A day for umbrellas, towels by the door, backup shoes, covered stalls, and the local wisdom of wet weather.
A day for traffic, weather, jokes, songs, news, and the voices that keep people company while the day begins.
You find Pitcairn parrots and endemic seabirds as the most distinctive wildlife native to the Pitcairn Islands. You notice that residents of Pitcairn Islands typically keep dogs, cats, and chickens as their most common pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You savor dried fish and fish products from the Faroe Islands, where traditional methods of wind-drying cod and other North Atlantic catches create distinctly flavored delicacies exported worldwide. You respect that this centuries-old practice defines Faroese culture, sustains the islands' economy, and represents a way of life intimately tied to the sea.
