This day honors deliciously sweet chocolate truffles\, that everyone should enjoy today. \nTruffles were developed in France as a small chocolate ball made of ganache and rolled in cocoa. It was named after truffle fungus\, that chocolates resembled. It is believed\, that truffles were made by August Escoffier during the 1920s. One day his apprentice tried to make a pastry cream but accidentally poured hot cream into a bowl of chocolate chunks instead of the bowl of sugared egg. When chocolate and cream mixture hardened\, Escoffier found\, that he could form a lopsided ball with his hands. \nHe rolled his creation in cocoa powder and was surprised with its resemblance to real truffles from France and Italy. The concept developed further and different fillings\, as well as covers\, were made.Truffles can be filled with anything: cream\, caramel\, melted chocolate\, fruit\, nuts\, fudge\, nougat\, mint\, marshmallow\, liquor. \nIt became possible after Belgian chocolatier Jean Neuhaus invented hard chocolate shell. \nThere are different types of truffles: European\, Swiss and American. American truffles were created in the 1980s in San Francisco by Joseph Schmidt. His truffles had a half-egg shape with chocolate covering a mixture of dark and milk chocolate\, butterfat and coconut butter.

By the 1920s\, each state had passed laws that stipulated a certain day to be state Arbor Day. In some states\, the holiday was named Arbor and Bird Day. In Nebraska\, Arbor Day is a civic holiday.National Arbor Day in the United States was established as a state holiday in 1885. \nIt was moved from April 10 (its original date proposed by Morton) to April 22 (Morton’s birthday).

Richter (19001985) invented the Richter Scale in 1935. \nRichter is most famous as the creator of the Richter magnitude scale\, which\, until the development of the moment magnitude scalein 1979\, quantified the size of earthquakes. Inspired by Kiyoo Wadati’s 1928 paper on shallow and deep earthquakes\, Richter first used the scale in 1935 after developing it in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg; both worked at the California Institute of Technology.

In the United States\, the event is held on the fourth Thursday in April. \nIn 1992\, the Ms. Foundation for Women launched Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The first event was held on April 22\, 1993. Schools across the United States were provided with literature and other materials for incorporating career exploration in their curricula on the day before or after Take Our Daughters to Work Day. \nIn 2003\, the program was expanded to include boys. However\, most companies that took part in the program had allowed both girls and boys to participate since the beginning. This change allowed both girls and boys to explore careers\, contributing to fighting with gender stereotypes. \nIn 2007\, the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day program became its own separate foundation. It is no longer organized by the Ms. Foundation for Women\, although Gloria Steinem (one of the Foundation’s founders) is a member of the program’s board of directors. \nOn the fourth Thursday in April\, many employees across the USA invite their children to work. The program also encourages them to invite children from shelters and residential programs.

Parental alienation is described ” a behavior by a parent\, or an adult a child trusts\, such as a grandmother/father\, aunt\, uncle\, etc.\, whether conscious or unconscious\, that could create alienation in the relationship between a child and a parent.” \nAlso known as Hostile Aggressive Parenting\, the behaviour displayed can be mild and temporary but also extreme and ongoing. Obvioulsy any kind of behavior that is displayed as a result of parental alienation can be damaging upon a child and could have potentially life long consequences should the behaviour of both carer and child not be recognised and effectively addressed. \nNot to be confused with Parental Alienation Syndrome which relates to the behaviour of the child\, Parental Alienation focuses on the adults behaviour. \nParental Alienation Awareness Day recognised on April 25th aims to highlight to care givers the effects that PA could have on children and educate adults in order to identify signs that either they or others are behaving in a manner that could affect the children in their care. Parental Alienation usually involves one care giver attempting to turn a child against another often with a view to persuade the child that they wish to exclude the other parent from their life permanently. Typical types of behaviour displayed by parents can include: \nconstantly badmouthing/ belittling the other;\nlimiting the other’s contact;\nforbidding the child from discussing the other parent;\ncreating the impression that the other parent dislikes or does not love the child; or\ntrying to force the child to reject the parent to make the former partner a former parent as well. \nThe idea of PAAD belongs to Sarvy Emo from Canada. Emo introduced the observance of the day in the late 2005 with the original date on March 28. This date was changed to April 25 for marketing reasons and was put into practice in 2006. \nWith awareness comes education\, and with education\, comes the power to stop the mental and emotional abuse of children.-Sarvy Emo \nTo find out more about this awareness day\, visit one of the many dedicated websites aimed at raising awareness of the behaviours that could have a long lasting effect on our kids.

Although these candies are mostly associated with Easter\, they are popular all year long. Jelly beans are likely to have appeared during the time of American Civil War. William Schraff\, a Boston confectioner\, urged his customers to send jelly beans to the soldiers. \nToday food historians believe\, that first jelly beans appeared around that time. The very first advertisement of jelly beans appeared on July 5\, 1905\, in the Chicago Daily News. They were sold for 9 cents per pound.Earlier jelly beans were associated with Easter because of their egg-like shape. However this changed\, that is why we can enjoy these candies anytime. \nAnd did you know\, that jelly beans were President Reagan’s favorite candies and he used them to quit smoking\, when he was the governor of California? Each year about 16 billion jelly beans are manufactured in the U.S. just for Easter. \nIf you line up all jelly beans eaten by folks during Easter holidays\, they could circle the Earth for more than 3 times!

Volunteers make an exceptional contribution to the development of the Girl Scout movement\, serving as role models. \nAlthough the effort put forward by volunteers is always appreciated\, a special day has been set aside to publicly acknowledge that Girls Scout leaders play a very important role in the organization. \nGirl Scouts even have special awards for adult volunteers such as Outstanding Volunteer\, Outstanding Leader\, Appreciation Pin\, Honor Pin\, and Thanks Badge.Girl Scout Leader’s Day is a perfect opportunity for girls\, their families and communities to recognize their adult volunteers and thank them for everything they’ve done. \nAs volunteers\, leaders do not seek any special rewards or recognition\, but it doesn’t mean that they don’t want to be thanked. They surely deserve kind words and signs of appreciation.

He is considered as an American Founding Father and the author of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13\, 1743. He had a prominent career as a politician.\nHe was a spokesman for democracy\, represented Virginia in the Continental Congress\, embraced the position of Governor of Virginia\, served as the U.S. Minister to France and was the United States Secretary of State. \nPerhaps Jefferson’s most famous and biggest achievement was his contribution to the Declaration of Independence\, being the principal author\, proclaiming all 13 colonies to be independent sovereign states no longer governed by the British Empire. \nDuring Jefferson’s presidency\, he slashed military expenditures\, cut the budget\, and eliminated the tax on whiskey\, while simultaneously reducing the national debt by over 30%. Thomas Jefferson died in 1826 at the age of 83. Jefferson served his country for over 50 years of his life as a public official\, historian\, and philosopher. \nWhilst Jefferson is widely considered to be one of the worlds most liberal politicians and achieved much change and improvement in the lives of Americans throughout his life\, he has also come under scrutiny due to his dependace upon slavery and his beliefs that American Society remain a white mans domain. Clearly this contradiction of character and ideology has caused many to question his liberal beliefs and subsequently turned Jefferson into a paradoxical hero. \nA much documented and commented upon life (even appearing in hit musical Hamilton!)\, one thing that Thomas Jeffersons time on this earth did leave us with\, were the many inspiring and philisophical quotes; this being one of our favourites. \nWe hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness. \nLove him or loathe him\, we definitely think he has a point don’t you? \n  \n.

Even if that day comes but once a year\, TODAY IS THE DAY! The chip and dip national event existed for many years but gained popularity in the 1950s. The event became an annual celebration with March 23 being the official day for a chip and dip party.\nThe first dips to come into existence were the hummus and olive oil. The first two dips had their origin in the Middle East and the Mediterranean regions. Despite\, the ancient history of dips they continue gaining popularity today. However\, modern dips are different from traditional dips. Current dips consist of the following cheese\, guacamole\, and salsa. You can also use Ketchup or mayo if you do not have time to prepare a unique dip. \nDips are a perfect accompaniment for all kinds of chips\, potato\, tortilla\, and corn. You can also serve pretzels with a savory dip. However\, such an accompaniment was not quite popular in the United States until the 1940s. The popularity of chips and dips began after the Great Depression. \nFood expenses were not affordable by the middle-class families. To make a substitute for this\, they came up with the easy to prepare and cheap chips and dips\, which ultimately became a go-to party meal. However\, the most exciting fact about the first chip and dip was that the first bowl set used was a glass one URL:https://www.awarenessdays.com/awareness-days-calendar/national-chip-and-dip-day-2024/ CATEGORIES:Food Awareness,March,US ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.awarenessdays.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Chips-Dip-4-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20240321 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20240322 DTSTAMP:20240625T090743 CREATED:20231008T115854Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231008T115854Z UID:10016956-1710979200-1711065599@www.awarenessdays.com SUMMARY:National French Bread Day 2024 DESCRIPTION:It’s National French Bread Day on the 21st March. Why not bake a loaf of French bread to celebrate? There are many kinds of French bread\, but the most popular one is the baguette. It’s adored for its crispy exterior and soft interior. You might find this surprising\, but the dough recipe\, as well as the length and width of the ever popular loaf\, is enshrined in the law of France. That’s why the taste never changes. This is one law which gets the thumbs up from me.\nYou might find this hard to believe (I did)\, but the baguette was unknown until the dawn of the last century. French bakers always worked throughout the night to ensure fresh bread to the public in the morning. But in 1920\, a law was passed disallowing shifts from starting before 4 am. \nThis change in the laws of the land left the French bakers very little time to prepare the bread\, so they did some experimenting and ultimately invented the baguette. This bread baked in less time. The French public took this new bread to their hearts. It was a huge success. And of course\, it’s now part and parcel of French life. \nBesides the baguette\, there is a large variety of much-loved bread in France. There’s the ever-popular croissant\, as well as numerous others. So\, celebrate this special day with gusto by baking your own loaf of French bread. Enjoy with the whole family and say Vive La France’.

This presents opportunities for Native Americans\, Alaskans and Hawaiians to learn more about HIV/AIDS and to promote testing and counselling where necessary. \nThe day appropriately coincides with the spring equinox\, celebrated in many Native communities as a symbol of new beginnings. It was chosen specifically for this reason as it is an opportunity for positive change through awareness and prevention. \nThis institution was started in 2007 by HIV.gov to promote awareness and provide resources to Native communities after several studies identified them to be a high risk group in need of assistance. Risks of HIV in these communities can be heightened by a general lack of health care provisions and mental health assistance\, as well as societal stigmas surrounding homosexuality\, high rates of alcohol and drug use and general misinformation. This has led to estimates of up to a quarter of cases of Native people who are infected with HIV or AIDS being unaware that they have it. \nThere are various ways to participate in observing NNHAAD\, including visiting HIV.gov or other educational resources to learn more on the subject\, getting a routine test for HIV\, sharing information about HIV and AIDS prevention\, or raising money by supporting or organising an event to spread awareness.
