14 THINGS I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT CHOCOLATE

Chocolate is as close to a universally-loved food as you can get. In fact, people love chocolate so much regular studies are carried out in a bid to prove that it’s a healthy food. After all, if it’s good for us, we won’t feel guilty about eating more of it. But aside from all the great ways to consume chocolate, how much do we really know about it? Here are 14 things we bet you didn’t know about chocolate: 1. There Are Multiple Celebrations of Chocolate Each Year 14 Things You Didn't Know About Chocolate We are constantly looking for a good excuse to much on chocolate, and the calendar offers plenty of excuses to purchase a bar or two. For example, July 7 is Chocolate Day, a nod to the day when chocolate was first brought into Europe on July 7, 1550 (although a number of sources argue that it might have hit the continent’s shores as far back as 1504, thanks to Christopher Columbus. There's also National Milk Chocolate Day on July 28, International Chocolate Day on September 13, and National Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds Day on November 7. 2. Chocolate is Actually a Vegetable – Kind of… Dark and milk chocolate are made from the cacao bean, which grows on the cacao tree, an evergreen from the family Malvaceae. Therefore, this makes the most important part of chocolate a vegetable. 3. White Chocolate is Not Actually Chocolate Since it doesn’t contain cocoa solids or chocolate liquor, white chocolate isn’t chocolate in the strict sense. However, it does contain parts of the cacao bean – mainly cocoa butter. 4. The Cacao Bean is Native to Mexico and Both Central and South America It’s is believed that inhabitants of these areas started cultivating the bean as far back as 1250 BCE, and perhaps even earlier. 5. Hot Chocolate Was the First Chocolate Treat 14 Things You Didn't Know About Chocolate Cacao was brewed in both Mexican and Aztec culture, though the result was nothing like today’s hot chocolate – it was a bitter concoction that was used for ceremonial occasions such as weddings. 6. Cacao Was Once Used as Currency The Aztecs loved and valued the cacao bean so highly that they used it as currency during the height of their civilization. 7. Spanish Friars Helped to Spread the Love After cacao and chocolate were introduced to Europe, traveling Spanish Friars took it to various monasteries, helping to spread it around the continent. 8. A Pair of British Confectioners Invented Solid Chocolate The Fry and Sons shop concocted what they called “eating chocolate” in 1847 by combining cocoa butter, sugar, and chocolate liquor. This was a grainy, solid form of the treat. 9. Napoleon Loved Chocolate The French leader demanded that wine and chocolate be made available to him and his senior advisers even during military campaigns. 10. Milk Chocolate Was Invented in Switzerland 14 Things You Didn't Know About Chocolate Daniel Peter created the treat in 1875, after 8 years of trying to make his recipe work. Condensed milk ended up being the key ingredient. 11. Making Chocolate is Hard Work Despite its revered status and regal background, the cacao bean doesn’t just magically turn into chocolate – it takes around 400 beans to make a single pound of the good stuff. 12. The First Chocolate Bar Was Made in England Way back in 1842, the Cadbury company made the world’s very first chocolate bar. The company still exists today, and are well-known for their Easter-themed treats. 13. Most Cacao is Now Grown in Africa Despite its Amazonian roots, most cacao – nearly 70% of the world’s supply – comes from Africa. The Ivory Coast is the largest single producer, providing about 30% of the world’s cacao. 14. Chocolate Has a Special Melting Point Chocolate is the only edible substance to melt at 93F, just below the 

human body temperature. This is why it melts so easily on your tongue. 

BIDEN PROCLAIMS EASTER SUNDAY TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY

National Review

 

Biden Proclaims Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’

By CAROLINE DOWNEY

March 30, 2024 11:33 AM

 

The White House on Friday announced “transgender day of visibility” for March 31, which this year falls on Easter Sunday.

 

“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility,” President Biden wrote in a Friday statement. “I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”

 

Since its inception, the Biden administration has made LGBT activism a cornerstone of its policy priorities. Biden boasted in his statement that he appointed transgender leaders to his administration and ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in the military.

 

In the past, some of Biden’s transgender inclusivity events at the White House have backfired.

 

A transgender influencer was banned from the White House on Tuesday for posing topless at President Biden’s Pride celebration over the weekend.

 

Rose Montoya, who exposed his bare prosthetic breasts to the camera and onlookers at the official event, violated basic standards of decency and social manners, a spokesperson for the White House told the New York Post.

 

Children of the National Guard are also barred from sending in religious Easter egg designs for the 2024 “Celebrating National Guard Families” art event at the White House, Fox News reported Friday. The White House hosts many Easter traditions, including the military family art initiative and the annual Easter Egg Roll.

 

Easter egg submissions “must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements,” according to the flyer.

 

“As part of the White House Easter traditions, America’s Egg Farmers – for nearly 50 years – have proudly presented an intricately decorated Commemorative Easter Egg to the First Lady of the United States. In 2021, the White House expanded on this longstanding tradition by displaying youth-designed Easter eggs in the White House East Colonnade,” the flyer said.

 

Children are also forbidden from making creations that include “bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age.” 

BLIND TRIPLETS CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE BEFORE BLIND MAN ADOPTED THEM, NOW THE BOYS ARE PURSUING THEIR DREAMS

Blind Triplet Contemplated Suicide Before Blind Man Adopted Them. Now Boys Are Pursuing Their Dreams (Exclusive)

“Knowing the path that they were heading on and the path they’re on now, I just feel so grateful that we’re a family," Ollie Cantos tells PEOPLE

Blind Man Reflects on Adopting Blind Triplets 14 Years Later: 'Nothing Will Break Us Apart'

This post is a collaboration between PEOPLE and StoryCorps, the largest collection of human voices ever archived.

 

When Ollie Cantos looks back on the 14 years since he first met triplets Nick, Leo and Steven, he has tears in his eyes and endless gratitude in his heart. 

 

“I can’t believe how far we have all come,” Ollie, now 53, tells PEOPLE. “Knowing the path that they were heading on and the path they’re on now, I just feel so grateful that we’re a family."

 

"Having them as sons and seeing how they prosper and how they are making their own way in the world is really so heartwarming. It means I was able to help prepare them for adulthood and leadership," he adds.

 

That original path looked dire when he first met the boys through a friend at church in 2010. "He had this feeling like I had to meet them," Ollie previously told PEOPLE in 2016. "He also told me that they had never met someone else who was blind.”

 

The triplets were born with the same condition Ollie has: retinopathy of prematurity, a disease that occurs in premature babies and causes blindness. After meeting, they were mentored by Ollie, who recalled to StoryCorps in 2014 that the children’s lives looked bleak and filled with no hope for the future. 

 

Leo explained at the time that he and his brothers' routine consisted of waking up, going to school, returning home and “staying there for the rest of the day." He added that he remembered wishing he could go outside and play in the snow like everyone else.

 

Added Nick: “It was getting so bad that I wanted to die. But it was one of the decisions I’m glad I did not make, because I would have missed out on everything.”

 

Soon after Ollie met the boys, who are now 24, he knew that they were meant to be his sons, and began the process to officially adopt them. 

 

Looking back on his life, Steven told PEOPLE in 2016, “If dad weren’t here, two things would happen: either I’d be in a gang or I’d be dead.”

 

Ollie, the first blind person and first person with a visible disability to become a councilman in the city of West Covina, California, has been the perfect role model for his sons. The attorney, who previously worked with the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C., made it his mission in life to raise his boys to be independent and happy.

 

After PEOPLE originally spent time with Ollie and his sons at their home in 2016, the then-16-year-old triplets went on to become Eagle Scouts, completing the same rigorous requirements as anyone else.

 

“They did it with no time extensions or accommodations,” says Ollie, who moved from Virginia to California in 2019. “I’m super proud.”

 

For their service projects, Steven collected supplies for low-income students, collecting enough for 130 kids, according to local outlet ARLNow. Meanwhile, Leo organized a blood drive and “literally saved hundreds of lives,” says Ollie, while Nick gathered hygiene supplies for a nonprofit that helps abused women and families. 

 

“They deserve to rise to the very best, because that's how we make the world better and that's how we make our individual lives better in the process too,” Ollie says of his sons.

 

Soon after these extraordinary accomplishments, the triplets spent time at The Carroll Center for the Blind in Newton, Massachusetts, to work on numerous skills including cooking, cleaning, household chores, time management, technology skills enhancement, independent cane travel and exploration.

 

In 2018, it was time for the boys to leave the comfort of their home and head to college. Today, Leo is set to graduate from the University of Virginia, while Nick and Steven will graduate from Southern Virginia University. Although the distance is hard for Ollie, he is proud of the boys for pursuing their dreams.

 

“They didn’t want to leave because they felt the same way I did,” recalls Ollie. “They felt like, ‘My gosh, we’ve just been this intense family unit for this long,' and at the same time, they knew they needed to learn and to strike out on their own a bit."

 

He adds: “I barely had enough time with them. They first came into my life when they were 10, so I spent the first two years cramming in every childhood possibility they missed out on: Easter egg hunts, trick-or-treating, shooting squirt guns at each other... all that stuff. I crammed it in because I knew we were running out of time before they started growing up.”

 

Today, Nick feels "proud to be a member of our family," he tells PEOPLE, as Steven says the moment he officially became a Cantos felt like it was "completing my identity." 

 

For Leo, "life has been good to me personally and professionally, and it will continue to be that way because I have a loving family at my side," he says.

 

"I certainly am not the same person I was 10, even 15 years ago, way before dad came into the picture." 

 

As Ollie looks ahead, he can’t wait to see his boys have a family of their own one day. “I’m going to be granddad, not grandpa, for their future kids,” says Ollie, laughing, “and want them to be raised in the same spirit of love.”

 

Ollie also created a GoFundMe, and he says the money raised will continue to help the triplets as they mature. "It will help them eliminate outstanding college debt, assist with technology upgrades as they begin their careers, and assist with travel when being invited by organizations to give speeches to non-profits." he adds.

 

Ollie knows that despite their successes, setbacks are bound to happen — and should be embraced as a family unit. 

 

“Even when there are any setbacks I say, ‘I’m here with you. We've got this together. We have always been together. We’ve got this,’ " he says.

 

He adds: “I’m just so grateful to have them in my life as my sons, because my life wouldn't be as rich had it not been for having them. Nothing will break us apart.”

AH: Where were they living before?

The time on Radio Kantapur in Nepal is a few minutes slow.

Enjoyed listening to "The Now Show" on BBC Radio Four a few minutes ago. 

Max FM in Orelia, Ontario has a good playlist but, when I listened, it appeared, during afternoon drive no less, to consist largely of pre-recorded weather forecasts and voice tracked bits from the anncrs, of which there don't even appear to be any pre-taped ones after 6:00 p.m.

DOGS TRAINED TO DETECT TRAUMA STRESS BY SMELLING HUMANS' BREATH

A pilot study shows that dogs can be taught to recognize the scent of trauma reactions on the breath, which could make PTSD assistance dogs more effective Peer-Reviewed Publication FRONTIERS Dogs’ sensitive noses can detect the early warning signs of many potentially dangerous medical situations, like an impending seizure or sudden hypoglycemia. Now, scientists have found evidence that assistance dogs might even be able to sniff out an oncoming PTSD flashback, by teaching two dogs to alert to the breath of people who have been reminded of traumas. “PTSD service dogs are already trained to assist people during episodes of distress,” said Laura Kiiroja of Dalhousie University, first author of the paper in Frontiers in Allergy. “However, dogs are currently trained to respond to behavioral and physical cues. Our study showed that at least some dogs can also detect these episodes via breath.” Stressed humans smell PTSD arises from exposure to a catastrophic event: symptoms include re-experiencing that catastrophic event, hyperarousal, avoiding any reminders, and cognitive or mood issues. Among other forms of assistance, dogs can help patients by alerting to and interrupting episodes when their companions are struggling with their symptoms. If dogs could respond to stress markers on the breath, they could potentially interrupt episodes at an earlier stage, making their interventions more effective. All humans have a ‘scent profile’ of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) — molecules emitted by the body in secretions like sweat — influenced by our genetics, age, activities, and other variables. There is some evidence that dogs may be capable of detecting VOCs linked to human stress. However, no studies have investigated whether dogs could learn to detect VOCs associated with PTSD symptoms. “This is a multidisciplinary collaboration between Dr Sherry Stewart’s clinical psychology lab and Dr Simon Gadbois’ canine olfaction lab, both at Dalhousie University,” said Kiiroja. “Neither lab could have done this work on their own. We brought together two distinct sets of expertise.” Catching the scent The scientists recruited 26 humans as scent donors. These participants were also taking part in a study about the reactions of people who have experienced trauma to reminders of that trauma; 54% met the diagnostic requirements for PTSD. To donate scents, they attended sessions where they were reminded of their trauma experiences while wearing different facemasks. One facemask provided a calm breath sample that acted as the control, and another, which was worn while the participants recalled their trauma, provided a target breath sample. Participants also completed a questionnaire about their stress levels and their emotions. In the meantime, the scientists recruited 25 pet dogs to train in scent-detection. Only two were skilled and motivated enough to complete the study: Ivy and Callie. “Both Ivy and Callie found this work inherently motivating,” said Kiiroja. “Their limitless appetite for delicious treats was also an asset. In fact, it was much harder to convince them to take a break than to commence work. Callie in particular made sure there was no dilly-dallying.” Ivy and Callie were trained to recognize the target odor from pieces of the facemasks, achieving 90% accuracy in discriminating between a stressed and a non-stressed sample. They were then presented with a series of samples, one sample at a time, to see if they could still accurately detect the stress VOCs. In this second experiment, Ivy achieved 74% accuracy and Callie achieved 81% accuracy. Humans’ best friend Comparing Callie and Ivy’s successful identifications with the human participants’ self-reported emotions revealed that Ivy’s performance correlated with anxiety, whereas Callie’s correlated with shame. “Although both dogs performed at very high accuracy, they seemed to have a slightly different idea of what they considered a ‘stressed’ breath sample,” said Kiiroja. “We speculated that Ivy was attuned to sympathetic-adreno-medullar axis hormones (like adrenaline) and Callie was oriented to the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis hormones (like cortisol). This is important knowledge for training service dogs, as alerting to early-onset PTSD symptoms requires sensitivity to sympathetic-adreno-medullar axis hormones.” Next, the team plans to carry out experiments to confirm the involvement of the sympathetic-adreno-medullar axis. “With 40 sample sets, ours is a proof-of-concept study that needs to be validated by studies with larger sample sizes,” cautioned Kiiroja. “In addition to enrolling more participants, validation studies should collect samples from a higher number of stressful events to confirm dogs’ ability to reliably 

detect stress VOCs in the breath of one human across different contexts.” 

REALTOR'S VIDEO SHOWS SECRET ROOM WITH VIEW INTO BATHTUB

Realtor’s Video Reveals Secret Room with Direct View Into Bathtub: ‘Look at How Creepy This Is’

"I'd always think someone was hiding in there watching me," one commenter wrote on the viral TikTok video

By Erin Clements  Published on March 27, 2024 05:26PM EDT

 

Realtor Lauren Rockel was showing her clients a prospective home in Lowell, Mich., when she discovered an unusual feature.

 

In a video posted on TikTok, Rockel reveals how she found a “creepy” hidden room in the house, adjacent to the bathroom.

 

“Secret rooms are one of my absolute favorite things to find when I’m showing homes,” Rockel notes in the video, which has racked up more than 800,000 views on the social media platform.

 

“I absolutely love weird real estate,” she adds.

 

Rockel explains that she noticed some hinges on the outside of a built-in cabinet in the bathroom and gave it “a little tug.”

 

It was then that she uncovered the hidden space behind the cabinet, which she figured was “probably a storage room.”

 

Instead, she found a room with a window that looked directly into the bathroom, giving a view of the bathtub through glass blocks.

 

“Look at how creepy this is,” Rockel says in the video.

 

The realtor's first thought was that perhaps the glass blocks allowed light into the hidden room if it was lacking a light source of its own, but she quickly discovered there was an electric light in the space, so the window into the bathroom “definitely didn't need to be there.”

 

“I don't know if maybe they put that glass block there before they decided just to put a light in it so light could get in,” she says.

 

Tiktok users also found the feature highly troubling.

 

"I'd always think someone was hiding in there watching me," read one comment on TikTok, while someone else wrote, "The way I'd have to check to make sure no one's in there every time I go to the bathroom."

 

Since Rockel was the buyers’ agent, she hasn’t spoken to the previous owners about what the room was used for, she explains.

 

While her clients didn’t end up purchasing the farmhouse-style home from 1987, she shared their daughter thought the hidden room was “super fun.”

 

Rockel says she’s always on the lookout for hidden spaces in houses she shows because of another experience about five years ago.

 

“I had a client buy a home and he moved in and then stumbled upon a secret room,” she recalls. “I contacted the listing agent and the listing agent said the seller didn't know about it either. So there was a secret room in this house that no one knew about for years.”

 

She advises anyone looking out for hidden features in a potential home to look for “dead space” and built-in shelving and cabinets.

 

“Like, oh, wait a minute, this wall should be here,” she explains. “Sometimes there's a room that's behind a picture that's on hinges or something. But I would say looking for any little locks, hinges and built-ins. Sometimes you push on them or pull on them and they just pop open.”

 

Rockel, who’s been a realtor for over six years, says she finds four or five hidden rooms in the approximately 300 homes she shows each year.

 

In another video she posted on TikTok this week, Rockel shows a mid-century home in East Grand Rapids with a secret space behind a cabinet over a toilet.

 

“There was a cot and books and stuff in it, so someone was just hanging out over their toilet in the bathroom,” she says.

 

Rockel also recalls another surprising discovery she found when she was just starting out in real estate.

 

“There was a labyrinth in a basement that every time you opened a door, it closed a door behind you and it just was like hallway after hallway until you got to the very back and it had a 5’ x 5’ room with a lock on the outside of the door and then a chair and a mirror in the room, and that was it,” she says.

 

“That was super creepy,” she adds. “What are you doing with a lock on the outside of a door? I don't know. It was wild.”
