Major U.S. Holiday Today: Independence Day

Today marks the 246th Independence Day of the United States of America. Also known as the Fourth of July, this day commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress, as well as the declaration by the Congress that the American colonies are free and independent states. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.

Interesting note: Benjamin Franklin, George Clymer, Robert Morris, George Read, James Wilson, and Roger Sherman were the only founders to sign both the Declaration of Independence in 1776 and the Constitution of the United States in 1787.

In his book, "The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance," Rich Diviney, a retired Navy SEAL commander, makes a powerful distinction: Skills are not the same as attributes. While skills can be taught, attributes reveal how someone is likely to behave when conditions become difficult, uncertain, stressful, or unpredictable. That difference matters enormously, whether you are hiring a salesperson, developing a leader, building a team, or trying to better understand yourself.

10/02/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007
This week, I was fortunate to attend PCB West in Santa Clara, California, and was reminded of the idyllic weather of that part of California in the early fall. Attendance was high at the weeklong conference and one-day expo, allowing the show to maintain its place as one of the best events for PCB and PCB design. As always, it was great to see old friends and familiar faces. Stay tuned for more PCB West coverage.

Beyond PDFs: The Next Generation of Electronics Compliance

07/28/2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial Team
Why should electronics manufacturers care about the new IPC Supplier Declaration Standards? Because compliance with global government regulations means manufacturers are expected to collect, verify, and exchange unprecedented amounts of supply chain data, often across hundreds of suppliers and thousands of components. Even more, it must be managed and exchanged efficiently, accurately, and at scale. Yet many engineers, supply chain professionals, compliance managers, and purchasing teams still rely on spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual processes that were never designed to operate at today's scale.
