International Handstand Day invites people globally to balance diversity with strength by doing a handstand. The ability to do a handstand is as much about balance as it is about alignment and form. In the end, it's about perspective. As the founder states, "when your world is upside down, do a handstand!"

Sam Foster was the first to mass produce and sell affordable sunglass in Atlantic City, New Jersey, in 1929.

Work from Home Day, Ntl: June 27

06:20 AM | -

National Work from Home Day is one of many “Work from Home” days. One is for working moms, another for working dads, another for telecommuters, and another for pet parents. Some might even say the entire year of March 2020 - February 2021 should be called 365 days of working from home day. Working from home is nothing new. Historically, it is the norm, and it’s been going on since the dawn of work, usually self-employment, agriculture, or housework. Towns and cities had merchant classes with shops and markets going back to antiquity, but most people worked the land and lived where they worked. The Industrial Revolution was the first time people went to work rather than working from home or on their land. Technology may be allowing society to come full circle. Only time will tell. This event has no specific origin or sponsor and occurs on the final Thursday of June each year.

Supreme Court Decisions Weeks: June 10-28

06:20 AM | -

It is a time of year Americans either anticipates or dread, depending upon what is on the docket and their opinions. Historically, the last two weeks of June see a flood of US Supreme Court decisions posted. The Supreme Court's decisions have an enormous impact on the lives of ordinary Americans, whether the decision on Roe v Wade in 1973, its Dobbs decision in 2022 erasing Roe, or the Citizen's United Decision of 2010, which created PACs to fund political campaigns. This two-week period in June leads to a three-month quiet period, in which no conferences or arguments are heard until October. Typically, a flurry of Supreme Court decisions will be handed down within these weeks.

PLEASE NOTE: Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
