DAY OF THE YEAR (5 -SEPTEMBER - 2018)
1. CHEESE PIZZA DAY
Although we are all fond of piling toppings onto our favorite pizzas, the humble cheese pizza is celebrated with Cheese Pizza Day. It is estimated that there are more than 70,000 pizzerias across the United States, demonstrating how pizza has been adopted into the national psyche.
Bizarrely, pizza – especially a basic cheese pizza – was regarded by its Italian inventors as a food for the lower classes who could not afford the luxury of meats. The ingredients are cheap, requiring just flour, yeast and water to make a basic dough, with toppings often being picked from local trees and made from local milk.
Whether you’re a fan of a deep dish from Chicago or prefer the more authentic Italian thin base pizza, now you have an excuse to indulge! If you really want to spoil yourself, head down to Pizza Luis XIII restaurant in Salerno, Italy, where the world’s most expensive pizza has been created – costing $12,0000!
2. INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CHARITY
Every year, charities all over the world help to save and improve people’s lives, fighting disease, protecting children, and giving hope to many thousands of people. To honor the important work that these many charities do, in 2012 the United Nations decided to nominate an annual International Day of Charity as an official day of recognition and celebration. The reason the date was chosen is that it is the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. This choice commemorates the tireless work that Mother Teresa did by devoting her whole life to charity work. To celebrate this special day every year, the work of different charities all over the word is publicised and celebrated, and people are encouraged to donate money and time, to carry out charitable works, and also to educate people and raise awareness about the many charitable issues worldwide. Education and giving are the essences of this special day.
3. GLOBAL TALENT ACQUISITION DAY
“Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of all goals.” ~ Kallam Anji Reddy

History of Global Talent Acquisition Day
Talent acquisition takes is a unique profession because they are not only skilled in sourcing tactics, assessments, and standards but also build employment brand standards for companies to work off of.

4. WORLD SAMOSA DAY
“Never hurt a Samosa’s feelings by telling it no. They too have fillings inside.~ Unforgivably bad pun
If you’ve never had one, you’re missing out. That is the first and most important thing you need to know about Samosas. They are a delightfully fried dish filled with onions, peas, potatoes, cheese, beef or lamb, or any of a myriad of other fillings. They’ve become increasingly popular in the US, and World Samosa Day encourages you to try them out if you’ve never had them, no matter where you’re from. Let’s take a look at the history of these delicious little pockets of culinary love!
History of World Samosa Day
Samosa’s find their origins somewhere in the Middle East, prior to the 10th century. Sometimes during the 13th-14th century, they were brought by traders to India, where it quickly became incredibly popular. To this day they can be found in family homes, at fancy restaurants, and even from roadside vendors where they are fried fresh in vegetable oil. Their shell is prepared using wheat or maida flour, and they are then stuffed with a traditional mashed potato, onions, green peas, all with regional spices. To make it perfect they serve it with a mint, coriander, and tamarind.
Interestingly, if you’re wanting a spicier rendition of the Samosa, you don’t go to India. Instead, you indulge in a Pakistani inspired blend of ingredients. There they are primarily filled with vegetable ingredients, but the locals enjoy them with a particularly vibrant punch of spices, especially in the southern Sindh province or Eastern Punjab. Of course, it’s also the place to go if you enjoy Samosas so much you want them in jumbo size, then you need to stop over in Faisalabad, where they are made in what is considered unusually large sizes.
How to Celebrate World Samosa Day
World Samosa Day is best celebrated by indulging in these delicious fried foods. Their flavor is incredible, and there is little as satisfying as biting into a warm samosa and feeling the delicious fillings weighing in your stomach comfortably. We personally find the seasonings used to be particularly agreeable and think that samosas are the perfect addition to any meal. Whether you prefer them hot and spicy, small and mellow, or large and in charge, World Samosa Day is your perfect opportunity to indulge in their delicious flavors. Now get out there and eat them all!
5. BE LATE FOR SOMETHING DAY
Are you one of those people who’s incredibly punctual? Are you enslaved to the clock and counting every minute? Do you consider letting yourself have one moment of leisure when you’re supposed to be somewhere something tantamount to a grievous sin? What’s wrong with you? You don’t need to be on time everywhere you go, you need to stop and smell the roses once in a while and realize it’s all just one long rush to the grave if you don’t take some time for yourself. Be Late For Something Day reminds us that sometimes, just sometimes, it’s ok to let things slide and not quite be on time.
History of Be Late For Something Day
There are some people who are just exceptional at putting things off and showing up late, and while normally we consider such behavior to be rude and entirely unacceptable, especially as a habit, Be Late For Something Day was established by the Procrastinators’ Club of America to tell us otherwise. Every day of our lives we are taught to follow rules and stick to schedules and not keep anybody waiting, but really, when has being kept waiting really hurt anyone? Never! That’s when, and in fact, there have been important business connections have only managed to be formed because someone was late, and met when they otherwise wouldn’t.
The stress of sticking exactly to a schedule has been shown to be detrimental to the health and well-being of people, especially when failing to do so causes people stress. Know why it causes stress? Because people are worried about sticking to a schedule and cause themselves to get stressed out if they don’t. Slow down, enjoy the world you live in, and give yourself a break when you might not otherwise.
How to celebrate Be Late For Something Day
Well, we spelled that out pretty clearly already, didn’t we? Take some time for yourself and allow yourself to be late for something. Good news is, since you’re planning it, you can make sure it’s not going to be something truly detrimental. See a small shop on your way to your destination that catches your fancy? Stop in and see what they have. Enjoying a conversation with someone at the bus stop and your bus comes along? Let it go, there’ll be another. Rushing to get to work on time? Slow down, drive safe, enjoy your morning commute and don’t let it stress you out. Be Late For Something Day is all about taking it easy and enjoying life rather than rushing around from check-point to check-point.
