7th July : Importance

hocolate Day




There are a number of dates throughout the year promoting variations of local, national or international Chocolate Day our research leads us to believe that this is the true, definitive, purist Chocolate Day, so celebrate with some of the high cocoa, rich, dark chocolate that makes you go tingly inside... Or failing that, stock up on chocolate biscuits, ice-cream and enjoy a day of secret treats and indulgence...

Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao, which has been cultivated for at least three millennia, is grown in Mexico, Central America and Northern South America. The earliest known documentation of using cacao seeds is from around 1100 BC. The cacao tree seeds have a very intense, bitter taste that must be fermented to develop the flavor.

Once the seeds have been fermented, the beans are dried, cleaned and roasted. After roasting, the shell is removed to produce cacao nibs. The cacao nibs are then ground into cocoa mass, which is pure chocolate in rough form. The cocoa mass is usually liquefied then molded with or without other ingredients. At this point of the process it is called chocolate liquor. The chocolate liquor may then be processed into two components: cocoa solids and cocoa butter.

Research has found that chocolate, when eaten in moderation, can lower blood pressure.

lobal Forgiveness Day

What is Global Forgiveness Day?

The Day to Forgive, the Day to be Forgiven!

Our world is full of unresolved conflicts: internationally, locally and in our homes. It's not just in distant lands where angry thoughts turn to angry words and then angry actions. The nature and history of human experience is intertwined with conflict and resolution. Confrontation is often our best attempt to resolve conflict, yet a more productive and satisfying solution stares us in the face.

In countless cases, justice has rightly extracted a high price from the guilty party. Whether justified or not, at some point, the human condition - when pushed - will want to push back. Our human nature is to respond in kind, or to respond with greater effect and intent (we want revenge). Obviously this type of escalation can not continue unabated.

It is a clear issue that as citizens of this global village we must stand in opposition to tyranny and injustice, to protect the helpless from the abuser and the innocent from the selfish manipulator.

We need to look closer at the situations where misunderstood words and actions lead to wasted time, energy and resources on unnecessary conflict. And most painfully, there are situations where one party is clearly, even admittedly, guilty of an offense against an intimate friend or family member. Much hangs in the balance in the resolution - past, present and future. This all begs the question, " What is the answer ? What is the solution ? Is it possible to restore a sense of ease and intimacy between those involved ?". To answer these questions in a positive way is difficult. But the solution is the same for each question. Forgiveness is the key. Forgiving allows us to lay down the right to claim retribution (openly or inwardly in our hearts and minds). Forgiving allows us to deal with, and then look past all the hurt and consequences of the offense. Forgiving pardons the offender and the offense. This does not mean to forget, in fact, we must remember as a way to remind ourselves that we too might be guilty of the same offense.

Webster's Dictionary defines forgiveness as the ability to excuse or to pardon. Just as a convict, sentenced to die for his crimes, would be overcome with joy and relief when granted a last minute pardon, we too must/need to have the largeness of spirit and character to offer forgiveness. The consequences of the offense may still have painful implications but can now be endured without malice, allowing some good to be salvaged from the situation. It is important to recognize that the ability to forgive does not make us better than the offender, rather, it demonstrates the wisdom of the forgiver in dealing with the issue. To forgive is to offer opportunity for a new beginning to the offender, and provides a process of healing for the victim.
