The History of Popcorn
 By: James Hunt


Popcorn is loved by young and old today. Popcorn itself dates back many centuries. It is believe by many historians that popcorn first came from Mexico. The oldest ears of corn have been found to come from a Bat Cave in west central Mexico around the year of 1948. It was here that Cachise Indians dating back to 2,500 B.C. are thought to have grown and eaten popcorn. History shows a funeral urn also found in Mexico from 300 A.D. that shows a picture of a maize god. The picture depicts this god holding some form of popcorn headdress. Popcorn kernels have also been found off the east coast of Peru as well.

The surprising fact about popcorn is that it was introduced to the Europeans by many Native American tribes. These English colonists were introduced to popcorn at the first Thanksgiving feast. The natives presented the popcorn as a gift of goodwill to the English settlers. Another interesting fact is that after the Europeans were introduced to popcorn we see the creation of breakfast cereal as they had the idea to mix the popcorn with milk and sugar.

Today there are a number of ways to pop popcorn. However, one of the earliest ways to make popcorn was to toast it over an open fire until it began to pop. The American Indians would pierce the center of the cob with something sharp then they would spread some form of oil over the cob and lay it almost in the fire. This would cause the kernel to pop attached to the ear.

Today there are other ways of making popcorn. There is the older method of using a popcorn popper where the loose kernels are poured into an electric device that heats the kernels and pops them. Butter can be melted on top of the machine and then can be poured over the popcorn. The most common way of making popcorn today however is through the use of a microwave. Most popcorn companies are producing microwave popcorn. The popcorn itself is in a bag and placed in the microwave, as it is heated the kernels pop inside the bag. After about two to three minutes you have a bag full of great tasting popcorn.

Facing The Fear of The Unknown In Regards To Your Job
 By: Stanley Popovich


All most everybody worries about what will happen in the future in regards to their job. The prospect of not knowing if something good or bad will happen to you in the near future can produce a lot of fear and anxiety. As a result, here is a list of techniques and suggestions on how to manage this fear of dealing with the unknown.

The first step is to learn to take it one day at a time. Instead of worrying about how you will get through the rest of the week or coming month, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how to deal with your problems. When the time comes, hopefully you will have learned the skills to deal with your situation.

Another thing to remember is that no one can predict the future with 100 Percent certainty. Even if the thing that you feared does happen there are circumstances and factors that you can?t predict which can be used to your advantage. For instance, let?s say at your place of work that you miss the deadline for a project you have been working on for the last few months. Everything you feared is coming true. Suddenly, your boss comes to your office and tells you that the deadline is extended and that he forgot to tell you the day before. This unknown factor changes everything. Remember: we may be ninety-nine percent correct in predicting the future, but all it takes is for that one percent to make a world of difference.

Sometimes what we fear may happen can be over exaggerated. A lot of times, our worrying can make the problem even worse. For those of you who believe in God, prayer can be very effective. In the end, we have to leave it in the hands of God. If God wants something to happen to us, it will happen regardless. All the worrying in the world will not change anything. All you can do is to do your best each day, hope for the best, and when something does happen, take it in stride by using the help of God. God will help us through our problems if we ask him.

As a Layman, I realize it is not easy to deal with the fear of the unknown, however sometimes the fear can be worse than the situation. If you have trouble managing your anxiety of the future, then talking to a counselor or clergyman can be of great help. There are ways to help manage your fear and all it takes is some effort to find those answers.
