Cuddle Parties, why Chocolate is fun to lick and Bob The Goat moves to town

00:00:01.800 --> 00:00:04.519
Are you ready for Valentine's Day?
Well, good news. If you'd like

2
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:07.519
to cuddle, Hi, I'm Johnny
Mack with five good news stories. No,

3
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.039
I'm not going to cuddle with you. I mean unless you really want

4
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:14.359
to. But a professional cuddler he'll
do it. He charges people for hugs

5
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.879
and earns seventy five pounds an hour. He has started hosting cuddle parties where

6
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.719
people could snuggle in groups. He's
Trevor Hoot and he's thirty years old.

7
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.600
He goes by Treasure. Treasure charges
thirty pounds a session for a cuddle party

8
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.719
to explore and enjoy non sexual physical
connection in a safe, structured environment.

9
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.840
It's more than just a hug.
It's about pouring care, affection and goodwill

10
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.240
into someone through touch. It's about
human connections. Treasure says, many people

11
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.000
struggle to make those. That's where
I step in. It's more than cuddling.

12
00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.960
It's giving people the things they need, whatever that might be. The

13
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.240
parties has been great, and I
think it's a really great way to provide

14
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.840
value to lots of people at once. I want it to have a really

15
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.039
big impact on the world. I've
done four parties so far. Each one

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.079
has been unique and special. We
have a very mixed group. Some people

17
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.200
are single and unfamiliar with touch,
but want to develop comfort the other the

18
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.399
spectrum. They're people who are used
to being touched and want more of it.

19
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.519
Starts out with some workshop activities,
than after an hour, they have

20
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:07.640
a break. They have some foods
together, get to know each other some

21
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.640
more. Then he resets the room
and then the cuttle parties begin. You

22
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.400
know who are else are snuggle buddies
Olivia and Mopsey. They're a cat and

23
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.359
a rabbit. Mopsey's a white male
rabbit, Olivia a female tabby cat,

24
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.439
and they lived together at Heel Animal
Rescue and Young Wood. Mary Kennedy Witherro

25
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.359
was not worried when shelter staffers couldn't
locate Olivia, a four year old tabby

26
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:30.920
cat who came into Heel Animal Rescues
astray. Few cats stay in their cages

27
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.400
at the shelter. At young Wood, they roam freely in the facilities community

28
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:38.680
rooms to get used to a homelike
environment. Then someone found Olivia in the

29
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.560
upstairs bunny room making friends with the
two year old male Mopsey. Momsey had

30
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:47.599
been found outdoors where he was scared
and trying to survive. He's domesticated rabbits.

31
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.480
He's not used to living outside.
Once he was brought to the rescue

32
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.959
center, he settled in. He
seemed enjoy being with the other bunnies,

33
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.400
but he's still a little shy till
he met Olivia the cat. The two

34
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:59.359
groom each other. They sleep together, they played together. They even have

35
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.159
their own prime room at the shelter, but they'd rather have a forever home.

36
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.840
Kennedy Whitro says these two are completely
in love and must be adopted together.

38
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.000
like chocolate, got a theme today
for Valentine's Day. Chocolate is delicious.

39
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.800
That's a fact backed up by research. A study that included four types of

40
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.280
dark chocolate and a three D printed
tongue. Researchers have found that it comes

41
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:30.000
down to chocolate's slick outer layer aka
it's fat. On Washa sacar As,

42
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.759
a professor of colloids and surfaces at
the University of Leeds. The professor told

43
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.000
The Washington Post or main finding out
of all this is that fat matters a

44
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:43.159
lot the process of eating chocolate,
says the Professor begins with the licking phase.

45
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.800
When chocolate first comes into contact with
the tongue. That's when the smooth

46
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.560
chocolate sensation is set in a motion. Then, as it starts melting and

47
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:53.400
salive enters in the mix, solid
cocoa particles in the chocolate area are released,

48
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.800
along with a rush of happiness boosting
endorphins. The science has concluded the

49
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.319
chocolates mutt cherished, silky sensation.
Say that four times fast I did,

50
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.479
you'd miss the edit because I took
it out is a product of its fast

51
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:10.400
dropolets making coucos. Otherwise, gritty
particles go down smoothly inside the mouth.

52
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.120
Hey, but does that mean chocolate
has to be high and fat to be

53
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.800
enjoyed? Professor said, Nah,
chocolate's coated and fat. It doesn't necessarily

54
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.840
mean the chocolate itself is fat.
She says, in licking phase, fat

55
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:27.159
is absolutely important for the sensation that
lubrication creates. We're talking about chocolate here.

56
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:29.719
Come down, everybody. But as
you go down into the chocolate's inner

57
00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.439
contents and its core, all this
starts mixing with saliva. The amount of

58
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:37.400
fat doesn't matter, So you should
have enough fat to coat the cocoa particles.

59
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.080
Again, I dare you to say
coat the cocoa particles fast. It's

60
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:43.919
really hard to trust me. You
missed the edit. So you should have

61
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.680
enough fat to coat the cocoa particles. But you don't need to have too

62
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:51.240
much fat. After Scientists always have
to mess with something, Professor says,

63
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.680
imagine if we could make broccoli taste
as good as chocolate. At least make

64
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:58.840
something like a zero calorie chocolate.
She adds, many people love things that

65
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.599
contain sugar, but you know,
and orange isn't the same as a piece

66
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.560
of chocolate. It's not the sweetness, it's the texture. That's what she

67
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:15.120
said. I am Patty Callahan Henry, I am Mary kay Andrews, I'm

00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.879

place. You can listen to friends

Beauty company Laureal is launching a lipstick
tool designed for people with limited mobility.

81
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.959
Fifty million people around the world live
with limited fine motor skills, making daily

82
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:33.079
task like applying lipstick quite challenging.
They created the world's first handheld, super

83
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:40.079
precise computerized makeup applicator designed specifically for
people with limited hand and arm mobility.

84
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:44.720
They use the same technology used to
make utensil stabilizers. And good news for

85
00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.319
Bob the Goat. Bob the Goat
has moved to the big city. Bob

86
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.040
the Goat pals around with Albert,
who's an eighty two year old human.

87
00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:54.879
Albert just built a two story home
on Cherry Street. Built it all by

88
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:57.800
himself, but he wasn't going to
leave the goat behind on the farm.

89
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.680
No, no, no, he
says. We wouldn't never left the goat

90
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.079
on the farm or any place.
The goat's part of the family would drag

91
00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:04.480
him all over the place. Bob
the Goat is thirteen. He's a brown

92
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:09.000
and black goat. Bob lives in
a heated backyard. Shit. Albert said,

93
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.279
I've built a beautiful home for him. He has his own house and

94
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:14.480
it's electrically heated. He has water
there, he has some salt, lick

95
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.399
stone is hey. He has everything. Albert takes Bob the Goat for walks

96
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:21.319
around the neighborhood. The neighbors don't
mind. Amy is a neighbor and said,

97
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.759
I think it's incredible that we have
a neighbor who walks his goat.

98
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.480
We have neighbors on our street and
walk their dogs every day. Why not

99
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:31.600
a goat? One problem? Though
municipal by laws ban farm animals within town

100
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.360
limits. When this story started getting
picked up by the CBC, neighbors on

101
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:40.879
social media rushed to Bob the Goat's
defense, worried any publicity would results in

102
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.240
Bob the Goat losing his home.
The mayor was asked for comment, and

103
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.439
he said he didn't have one.
He also wasn't able to say if anyone

104
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:50.360
complained. Albert says, they won't
take the goat away because I won't let

105
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.600
them. The goat stays till he
dies. Bob the goat is living out

106
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.680
his days in the backyard. That's
