No, Columbus Day was celebrated yesterday on the 13th.
Today is World Standards Day.
World Standards Day is celebrated internationally each year on the 14th of October. The day honors the efforts of the thousands of experts who develop voluntary standards within standards development organizations such as the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
The aim of World Standards Day is to raise awareness among regulators, industry and consumers as to the importance of standardization to the global economy.
The 14th of October was specifically chosen to mark the date, in 1946, when delegates from 25 countries first gathered in London and decided to create an international organization focused on facilitating standardization.
Even though ISO was formed one year later, it wasn't until 1970 that the first World Standards Day was celebrated. That is why all photography related film speed standards changed from ASA (American Standards Association) to ISO.
Around the globe, various activities are chosen by national bodies to commemorate the date. The United States will be holding a U.S. Celebration of World Standards Day on 23 October.
The Standards Council of Canada (SCC), Canada's national accreditation body, celebrates World Standards Day together with the international community by observing the day near the dates of the international observance. In 2012 SCC celebrated World Standards Day on Friday, 12 October.
Today’s Air Conditioning Tip: Install mini-blinds or white window shades. Mini-blinds can be very effective and can reduce heat gain from direct sunlight by 40-50 percent. You can also hang bamboo shades or tightly woven screens outside your windows. This will stop up to 80 percent of the sun's heat from getting through your windows. Then just open them on cool or cold winter’s days and let the sunshine in.
