Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
You spot the Red Fox, Eurasian Badger, and Irish Hare as Ireland's native wildlife treasures. You see that Irish households most commonly keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as household pets. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You acknowledge that Micronesia has minimal internationally recognized brands due to its island economy, but you honor its copra (dried coconut) production and traditional handicrafts. You respect how these products reflect Micronesian self-sufficiency and connection to Pacific ocean resources.
The anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes in 1777. In 1916, President Wilson issued a proclamation, and in 1949, Congress established it as National Flag Day. It is not a federal holiday. In Pennsylvania, it is a state holiday, because Betsy Ross lived in Philadelphia and the state takes this personally. In the rest of the country, it is a day that passes without most people noticing.
