Juneeteenth, a combination of the day and month of the holiday commemorating the end of slavery, is the newest federal holiday designed by the U.S government. The holiday became officially recognized on June 17, 2021, by President Joe Biden. Though often confused with Emancipation Day, which is observed two months earlier by Washington D.C.’s local government and celebrates the signing of the President Abraham Lincoln’s historic proclamation outlawing slavery, Juneteenth celebrates the day that news finally made it to more than 250,000 enslaved Black people living in Texas in 1865. The Emancipation Proclamation declared enslaved African American people to be freed in Southern states, though because Texas was still under Confederate control, it would take almost two years from the date of Lincoln’s signage for those inhabitants to hear the news and be free themselves. The union army arrived in Galveston, Texas, on June 19 1865 and brought word that slavery had been abolished. The

Monday became a national holiday for Latvia after the country’s biggest hockey win ever. The country, whose national sport is hockey, defeated the United States, 4-3, in overtime in the bronze medal game of the IIHF World Championship. The victory was so huge for Latvians that their government decided to make Monday a national holiday. Kristians Rubins scored the medal winner just 1:22 into the overtime period at Nokia Arena in Finland — the crowd consisted of mostly Latvia fans, so the goal sent just about everybody into a frenzy. It was the country’s first medal in IIHF competition, and they had not finished better than seventh place prior to this tournament. Members of the Latvian parliament rocked the team’s sweaters when declaring Monday the holiday. “Celebrating the success of the Latvian hockey team could encourage everyone to strive for excellence in their work, in their skills,” the bill stated, via USA Today. “Celebrating this day together would strengthen the national

Global Entrepreneurship Network Board Chairman Jeff Hoffman warns of summer travel delays and staffing shortages on 'Varney & Co.'  Air travel over the Memorial Day holiday weekend in the U.S. surged past pre-pandemic levels, according to recent figures from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).  Nearly 9.8 million people were screened by TSA officers at airports nationwide from Friday through Monday, the TSA tweeted.  That's 300,000 more individuals compared with the same holiday weekend in 2019.  LYFT ROLLS OUT FEATURE TO MAKE AIRPORT PICKUPS FASTER On Friday alone, about 2.74 million people passed through security checkpoints, up from the TSA's earlier projection of 2.6 million and the "highest post pandemic single day record," according to the TSA.    The figures aren't entirely surprising, as several industry experts signaled that demand will continue to surge this summer as people prioritize travel despite the uncertain

The true meaning of Memorial Day How a community comes together in Florida to honor fallen service members Memorial Day is supposed to be about mourning the nation’s fallen service members, but it’s come to anchor the unofficial start of summer and a long weekend of discounts on anything from mattresses to lawn mowers. Auto club AAA said in a travel forecast that this holiday weekend could be "one for the record books, especially at airports," with more than 42 million Americans projected to travel 50 miles (80 kilometers) or more. Federal officials said Friday that the number of air travelers had already hit a pandemic-era high. But for Manuel Castañeda Jr., 58, the day will be a quiet one in Durand, Illinois, outside Rockford. He lost his father, a U.S. Marine who served in Vietnam, in an accident in California while training other Marines in 1966. US flags are set next to the Soldiers and Sailors Monument by the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund for Memori

The European parliament will this week start discussing new rules for holiday rental companies such as Airbnb and Booking.com, which aim to give local councils the power to order the de-listing of properties that do not comply with certain requirements. Dutch GroenLinks MEP Kim Van Sparrentak is spearheading the effort and will present her proposals to the parliament’s internal market and consumer protection committee on Tuesday. People spent about 547 million nights in homes rented via Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia or Tripadvisor across the EU in 2022, according the EU statistical office Eurostat. “The recent growth in online short-term rental accommodation services has impacted society in many ways,” the report by Van Sparrentak says. While this has been positive from a tourism perspective it has also been negative, by “extracting long-term housing from the market in popular tourist destinations, increased housing prices, and a loss of grip on where tourism activity takes place,

OTTAWA, May 20 (Reuters) - Firefighters in Alberta are on high alert for a surge in blazes over a long weekend in the oil-rich Canadian province, which is enduring throttled energy production, home evacuations and property damage after an intense start to the wildfire season. Record-high temperatures and lack of rain this year have led to widespread fires burning nearly 830,000 hectares (2 million acres) of land in Alberta, about 10 times the size of the province's largest city, Calgary, according to Alberta Wildfire. Ahead of the Victoria Day weekend, authorities have closed some parks and campgrounds in Alberta, and are urging residents to avoid activities that could enrage wildfires, to avoid straining firefighting resources. The holiday weekend, when residents traditionally go camping or enjoy other outdoor activities in warmer weather, usually sees an uptick in seasonal wildfires, some of which are accidentally caused by people.
