Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Bengal is the heart of the nationalist movement. The British partition of Bengal in 1905 has inflamed Hindu-Muslim tensions. The jute mills of Calcutta employ thousands. The countryside is poor and getting poorer. The monsoon still decides who eats and who does not.
You observe seabirds including frigatebirds and boobies nesting on Kiribati's atolls alongside sea turtles and tropical fish in surrounding waters. You notice that residents commonly keep dogs, cats, and chickens adapted to island life. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Georgia produces more peanuts than any other state. In Blakely, Georgia, they hold the National Peanut Festival in the fall. But on March 1st, peanut butter lovers across the country quietly acknowledge that they eat it straight from the jar with a spoon at 2 AM. The average American eats 3 pounds of peanut butter per year. This is almost certainly an underestimate because nobody admits how much they eat alone in the kitchen at night.
