Holiday A Day

Hello and welcome to Holiday a Day, your daily dose of Holidays, festivals, celebrations and remembrances from around the world.   I am your host Jeffrey Johnson   Today is July 10th 2014 and we are celebrating   Independance day in The Bahamas.  An island nation in the Caribbean which got it's independence from Great Britain in 1973.  Leading up to the 10th are days of festivals throughout the country and culminating with fireworks on the night of the 10th. So Happy Independence Day The Bahamas.   Also today is   Nikola Tesla Day (A Day of Science in the World).  ON July 10th 1856 Tesla was born, a contemporary with the more famous Thomas Edison he was an inventor who studied electricity.  Many have credited him with being more intelligent and imaginative in his inventions but he did not do nearly as well as a business man.  While this is not an official holiday anywhere there is an initiative to establish an International Tesla day by the United Nations.  So Happy Nikola Tesla Day.   So this is all I have
