#OTD in Irish History | 19 January:
1003 – Death of Abbot, Kilian of Cologne. Kilian was a native of Ireland.

There is a yellow stripe on my shoe. I'm not sure how it got there or when exactly it appeared. But today I see it. Perhaps I should try to wipe it off. Erase it so my shoes fall back into conformity.
But conformity has never been one of these shoes' strengths. But a mere week after their purchase, one of the eyelets came loose. It travels across the shoelace to the other side, as if it means to join with its sibling living there. I push it back when it's about halfway there.
Then there is the shoelace. It broke within a year, and instead of renovation I chose for a quick fix. A simple double knot, clearly visible if one were to pay attention. It recently ripped again, but its stubbornness is futile against my own.
I suppose these shoes and I were destiny. As the weather forces me to leave my bare feet at home, they allow me to continue to resist conformity, yellow stripe and all.

National Popcorn Day
Settle down with a bowl of this classic movie treat, sample flavors from salty to spicy or get creative with edible decorations like garlands.
Oh, Popcorn! Delicious and delightful, popcorn is part of so many traditions. Popcorn balls at Halloween, popcorn strings at Christmas, and delicious buttery popcorn all year round at the movies!
Corn has played an important role in the diets of many cultures, and has spread to be a worldwide phenomenon since it was imported from the new world. So on National Popcorn Day make sure you have yourself a great big bowl of this delicious treat!
History of National Popcorn Day
To discuss the history of Popcorn day, one must understand the history of Popcorn. The original corn was derived from a small grass with kernels not much different than that of wheat. Careful selection and generations of breeding has resulted in what we think of today as the corn plant. When settlers came to the New World from the Old Country, they discovered this amazing crop and that it had been in use for quite some time.
Sometime along the line (possibly even thousands of years ago!), it was realized that certain corn kernels, when subjected to heat, will pop and reveal their soft fluffy endosperm in a cloud around their shell. Before long it was discovered to be a light and delicious treat, and cultivation led to the popcorn we have today.
There are actually two types of popcorn, but the familiar yellow popcorn we all see in movie theaters is by far the most popular. Popcorn has been used for everything from arts and crafts to the foundation of some of the most popular treats around. You can find it just about anywhere you go. The National Popcorn Board decided that this fluffy treat needed a day of celebration and recognition of its own, and thus was born Popcorn day!
National Popcorn Day Timeline
3600 B.C. First known use of popcorn
While it is unclear how far back in human history popcorn goes, a cave in New Mexico shows that popped kernels of corn may have been in use more than 5000 years ago.
1885 First commercial corn popping machine invented
After settlers to the early US colonies learn about the tradition of popping corn from native peoples, the industrial revolution prompts the invention of a machine to do the work. Charles Cretors of Chicago makes a mobile machine with a gas burner that can roam the streets and supply popcorn to pedestrians and movie-goers.
1981 Microwave popcorn bag patent is approved
Making popcorn even quicker and easier to eat, the General Mills patent for microwave popcorn bags is approved. Intake of the snack increases by thousands of pounds in the following years.
1988 National Popcorn Day coincides with Superbowl Sunday
Announced in The Calumet City Star, as well as other publications, National Popcorn Day is placed on January 31st, presumably to coordinate with families all over the United States who are throwing Super Bowl parties.
2003 First recorded incidence of National Popcorn Day on January 19
No one is really sure why it is moved, but a newspaper in Brownfield, Texas, gives the first indication that National Popcorn Day has been moved to January 19. And this date seems to stick!
How to Celebrate National Popcorn Day
Celebrating National Popcorn Day is as simple and delicious as it comes! You can start by just enjoying a bag of popcorn with your favorite toppings, and oh what delectable variety there is.
Ways to Enjoy Popcorn
You can have it with a classic mix of butter and salt, or get creative and add your favorite spices and herbs to it! There really isn’t anything that doesn’t go wonderfully with it. For a light heart-healthy addition you can skip the butter and shake it down with herbs like rosemary and thyme, or spice it up with cayenne. Or you can forgo the healthy options and bury it under a delicious coating of caramel and bacon, and really enjoy the decadence.
Go Global with Popcorn
First made readily available in America in the early 1800s, this delightful treat has grown in popularity so that it is now a delicacy found the world over. And different places seem to enjoy their popcorn in different ways:
Japan. In addition to the standards, folks here appreciate flavors such as honey, milk tea, and curry.
Europe. Enjoyed here as a sugary treat, popcorn is often sold in bags at the cinema, rather than freshly popped.
Nigeria. Best enjoyed by popping it in the microwave, a preferred flavor of popcorn here is fruit chutney.
India. In addition to the standard butter and salt popcorn, popcorn here can be found in unique flavors such as miso soup, Thai red coconut, and anchovy garlic.
Crafting with Popcorn
You can also celebrate popcorn by doing crafts with it! Popcorn strings are a wonderful decoration or use them to make garlands or even glue it to construction paper for a collage.
String or glue popcorn onto a metal or styrofoam form to make a festive popcorn wreath to welcome friends into your National Popcorn Day party. And don’t forget the paint and glitter to glitz it up even more!
Popcorn can even be used as a filling for glass Christmas ornaments to make cute decorations that give a little nod to the day.
Grab Some Gourmet Popcorn
If making popcorn at home doesn’t sound like fun, then go fancy by including some of these gourmet popcorn brands in the celebration. These companies are dedicated to making the best there is to offer in the way of popcorn treats:
Garrett Popcorn Shops. Originally located in the Chicago area, this company specializes in mixing Caramel and Cheese flavors for an extra unique blend. Shops can now be found not only in the United States but also in many places in Asia as well as the United Arab Emirates.
KuKuRuZa Gourmet Popcorn. Started in Seattle but named after the Russian word for “corn”, this company now does business in many countries in Asia and the Middle East, with online ordering throughout the world. Special flavors include Truffle Fromage Porcini, Seattle Style (Espresso Caramel), and Brown Butter & Sea Salt.
Harry & David’s Moose Munch. On the sweeter side of things, Moose Munch is a popcorn based treat that has been delighting fans for 25 years with its blend of popcorn, nuts and chocolate. If there’s no local shop nearby, online ordering is easy–or copycat recipes can make it simple to recreate at home.
Proper Corn. A fast-growing company in the United Kingdom, this popcorn company started in 2009 and has been delighting healthy snackers ever since! Look for flavors such as Sweet Coconut & Vanilla or Sour Cream & Black Pepper found in grocery stores in Europe as well as online in other countries.
The fun of popcorn can be enjoyed almost anytime, but National Popcorn Day is a particularly special day to celebrate this tasty treat. Popcorn is delicious, affordable, healthy (that is, before adding all of the butter, salt or sugar!) and can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways that is sure to delight everyone around.
Get creative for this special celebration and live up National Popcorn Day to the fullest with children and adults of all ages!

Journalist Mahmoud Sabbah documents children in line for what has to pass as a “meal” at a shelter in northern Gaza. People in north Gaza are being forced to subsist off of broth made from tainted water. Contrary to implications and outright lies by the occupation and its supporters, northern Gaza is still
totally besieged
not receiving practically any food aid
starving to death
under active attack by IOF air, sea, and ground forces

Prompt 19 - Pathetic
@jegulus-microfic January 19 Word count 903
“Prongs, it’s only two weeks. I'm pretty sure you can survive two weeks without my brother.” James knew that Sirius was right. It was only two weeks. But it was two weeks knowing that Regulus was in Grimmauld Place and would be having a very lonely Christmas with only his parents and Kreacher. James on the other hand was never lonely. He had Sirius and Remus staying with him and Peter came over nearly every day. Plus he also had two very loving parents. It was hard for him to have so much love and know Regulus had none.
A week went by and it was Christmas Eve. James knew he was annoying Sirius and Remus. He had been mopping about, not finding any interest in anything. Even his mother had commented on it. He’d been trying so hard since then to put on a brave face and make an effort.
They were all sitting around the Christmas tree, putting the finishing touches on it and drinking huge mugs of hot chocolate — Remus was already on his second — when the wards alerted them to someone trying to get in.
Monty slipped his wand out of his pocket, closely flanked by Euphemia.
“Stay back, boys. I mean it.” He commanded when he saw all three of them inching forward. Monty pulled the front door open, revealing a skinny young man wrapped tightly in a thick, expensive-looking travel cloak. He had the hood pulled up, hiding his face from view. But James would know him anywhere. Regulus Black was stood on his doorstep.
“Let him in, Dad.” He heard himself saying as he walked forward.
“Who is it?” Monty asked, looking confused. Sirius squinted, peering at the visitor.
“Oh, for crying out loud. You’re both as pathetic as each other, you know. It’s only two weeks!” He shook his head and grabbed Remus’s hand, taking him back into the living room. “Hi, Reg. Merry Christmas.” He called over his shoulder. Understanding shot across Monty and Effie’s faces.
“Come in, come in.” Effie waved Regulus forward.
“Thank you,” Regulus said politely once the door was firmly shut behind him. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mrs Potter. I hope my arrival isn’t an inconvenience.”
“The pleasure is all mine, I’m sure, and it’s Effie, not Mrs Potter. And this is Monty. Say hello, Monty.”
“Hello, Monty,” Monty answered, deftly dodging Effie’s swotting hand.
“Please ignore him, dear. Will you be staying for Christmas?” She asked as she gestured for his cloak.
“If that is alright, Mrs—Effie.” Regulus swallowed awkwardly.
“Of course it is. Does your Mother know you’re here?” Effie asked kindly.
“If that bitch turns up here…” Sirius yelled through from the living room.
“Sirius, language.” Effie cut him off before he could finish whatever it had been he was going to say.
“Not exactly. She thinks I went back to Hogwarts to study for my O.W.L’s. I am going to go back to Hogwarts to study, but I thought I could make a detour on the way.” He gave her a sheepish crooked smile that James knew Sirius used on her all the time. As much as the Black brothers liked to argue that they were entirely different from each other, they both used the same tricks regularly.
“Hmm, I’m not overly happy with that, dear. Especially after the last time with Sirius,”
“You love me!” Sirius yelled through again.
“Stop shouting in my house, Sirius.” Effie chastised him, barely lifting her vice but very clearly heard.
“Sorry, Effie,” Sirius called out more quietly. James could hear Remus giggling and Sirius swotting at him with a cushion.
“Sorry,” Regulus fidgeted with the cuffs of his jumper, “I’ll go.” He held out his hand for his travel cloak still in Effie’s hands. James turned to his mother pleadingly.
“Don’t be silly, Regulus dear. It takes a lot more than Walburga Black to scare me.” She said with a very toothy smile. Regulus took a step back. Shock flashing in his eyes.
“Come along, Monty. I need help setting up a room for Regulus.” She winked at Regulus and squeezed James’s arm as she headed to the stairs.
“What’s the point? He’s just going to end up in James’s bed anyway.” Sirius cackled from the living room, clearly enjoying himself.
“Sirius, behave,” Effie told him in her best mum voice.
“Sorry, Mum.” Sirius apologised, his voice very subdued.
Effie and Monty left James and Regulus alone in the hallway.
“Hi,” James finally got to say once his parents had disappeared.
“Hi,” Regulus smiled back. He rushed forward into James’s waiting arms and tilted his head up to look at him. James leant down and kissed him.
“Ooooooo.” Remus's cat called from the doorway.
“Godric, Moony, don’t encourage them.” Sirius wasn’t as gung-ho now.
James ignored them both, only having eyes for Regulus. He dipped his head again, kissing him gently before dragging him into the living room.
“Want to annoy Sirius?” He whispered in Regulus’s ear.
“Always,” Regulus murmured back, eyes flashing with mischief, not unlike his brothers did. James sat down and pulled Regulus onto his lap and continued kissing him and smiling when Sirius started protesting wildly to their, in his words, disgusting public display of affection.
James could feel Regulus’s chest shaking as he tried to keep his laughter contained. James was now quite happy to be home for Christmas.
