National Doughnut Day 2022


Every year, the first Friday of June is National Donut Day. Although today there are donuts in any part of the world, for they are a typical product of the United States. The manufacturers give the donuts to their customers for free or with freebies.

 History of National Doughnut Day

Tradition has it that this day is actually a tribute to the women volunteers of the Salvation Army.

During the First World War, donuts were given to soldiers to give them a little joy with a nostalgic product of their country and their family.

 

Donut Day dates back to World War II, when a doctor named Morgan Pett gave a lieutenant general a donut.

After that gesture, the lieutenant raised funds to replicate this action with soldiers put into battle. But it was not until 1938, when this celebration became official.

 Celebration of National Doughnut Day

Currently, international donut chains commemorate this fact by giving away donuts to the public.

For example, Dunkin' Donuts invites the public to take her favorite donut with the purchase of another product and Krispy Kreme is not far behind with her dozen glazed donuts and a free coffee.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
