Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
You observe the incredible wildlife of Tanzania, where lions, African elephants, giraffes, and zebras roam the Serengeti and Kilimanjaro regions. You find that Tanzanian households most commonly keep dogs, cats, and chickens as pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Bouvet Island has no indigenous brands or commercial products, as it remains an uninhabited territory owned by Norway. You recognize this day by acknowledging the Norwegian heritage and Arctic research that define the island's identity.
Kansas entered the Union on January 29, 1861. In Topeka, schoolchildren reenact the state's admission. They learn that Kansas is called the Sunflower State, the Jayhawk State, and the Wheat State. They do not learn that "Bleeding Kansas" was a preview of the Civil War, or that the state's motto "Ad Astra Per Aspera" means "to the stars through difficulties," which is a polite way of saying "everything here is hard."
