Liechtenstein Edition
World Repair Before Replace Day leads today's complete edition for Liechtenstein.
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 mending, sharpening, tightening, patching, cleaning, and giving useful things another round of life.
Not a public holiday, but a significant date in Liechtenstein's industrial history. The Hilti Foundation, established by the Hilti family (of Hilti Corporation fame, headquartered in Schaan), is one of the largest private foundations in the country. Hilti Corporation, founded in 1941 by Martin and Eugen Hilti, is the backbone of Liechtenstein's economy : a global construction tools and technology company with over 30,000 employees worldwide. The foundation funds cultural, educational, and social projects across the principality. The Hilti dynasty's influence on Liechtenstein cannot be overstated: Schaan, the largest municipality, is essentially a company town, and Hilti's headquarters there is the largest private employer in the country.
A practical celebration of the list that saves the day, even when one item is remembered only after reaching the door.
A day for herbs, flowers, seedlings, balcony pots, and every bit of green people manage to keep alive.
You discover the giant coconut crabs, Guadalcanal rats, and colorful eclectus parrots endemic to the Solomon Islands' tropical forests. You find that pet dogs, cats, and chickens are the animals most commonly kept by residents on the islands. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
You drink Concha y Toro wine, Chile's most internationally recognized winery founded in 1883, or choose Morandé wines that showcase the country's diverse terroirs from the Atacama Desert to Patagonia. You understand that Chilean wine has reshaped global palates over the past four decades, turning a nation once known for copper into a wine destination rivaling France and Italy.
