Author's Note: He said he was happy when he was on Earth, but he wasn't the only one.
Luna radiates. He was not sure what it was about her—not the white paint in her hair or the brighter colors that seemed to have become a part of her wardrobe—but she radiated some kind of… glow. He thought her smile was wider and more powerful every time she did it, that she somehow managed to illuminate everywhere she went.
With the medication gone—she'd said she flushed it with a rather wide grin—she was much lighter. Her smile came fast, flashing across her face and making just about everyone she was around join right in.
Her father disapproved, and he knew that. Despite her happiness, her father still thought she was crazy. He could not complain, not in front of the children and crowds that gathered for her now popular book readings, ones she staged right outside the shop. She had wanted to resume their readings, just him and her—and Alvin, since he did not leave them—but they had gathered a crowd on the first occasion that grew larger by the day.
As long as the crowd stayed away from him, he did not mind. He liked listening to her read, and she always picked interesting books, things that entertained and made her audience smile. They loved her hair and her "robotic" alien—Alivin—and she had more people around her than ever, all of them glad to be with her.
He thought that they could see just how special she was. Crowds and crowds of people learning to appreciate the value of this one person. She was something else.
A happy Luna was a better Luna, and he did not know how anyone could complain about her, though he supposed her father might try.
"You're smiling. Well, the smile isn't real, but you're smiling, and I don't think you've stopped staring at me all day. Did I get paint in more than just my hair? Something in my teeth?" Luna sat down next to him, getting closer to him than she should, like always. She was so difficult sometimes, but at the same time, her difficulties made her more unique and even more appealing.
She smiled, and he wished there was some way to hold onto that radiance behind it.

How to Wire a GFCI Circuit Breaker: Does it matter where in the breaker box panel I insert a 20 amp GFCI 220Volt breaker?
Electrical Question: Does it matter where in the breaker box panel I insert a 20 amp GFCI 220Volt breaker?
I moved some breakers around and put the GFCI breaker above, closer to the main breaker, a single pole breaker that feeds some outlets.
Now whenever I plug in a tool with a motor in it and turn it on the GFCI breaker trips and irrigation pump shuts down.
Do the GFCI breakers need to be last in line in the panel, furthest away from the main breaker ?
Or should I use a regular breaker in the panel and move the GFCI breaker to the end of the feeder line next to the pump. Or should I be doing or not doing something else.
Background: Rick, a Contractor from Rocheport, Missouri.
Thanks for your electrical wiring question Rick.
Application: Wiring a GFCI Circuit Breaker.
Skill Level: Advanced – Best performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
Tools Required: Electricians pouch of hand tools, voltage tester and protective safety gear.
Estimated Time: Depends on the make and model of the panel and the condition of the existing electrical circuit breakers and wiring methods.
Precaution: For safety the main circuit breaker should be turned off or any other disconnect means that would deenergize the panel before replacing a circuit breaker, however turning off the main circuit breaker may not deenergize all of the areas of the panel components and wiring. This is an extensive project that requires experience and should be performed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
Notice: Making changes to electrical panel or electric circuits should be done according to local and national electrical codes with a permit and be inspected.
GFCI Breaker Location: The location of the GFCI circuit breaker does not affect the operation.
Identify the Equipment Requirements: The specifications for the electrical equipment that requires a GFCI Circuit breaker and the specific GFCI protection should be identified as indicated in the equipment installation manual.
The Electrical Circuit Wiring: Install the necessary electrical circuit wiring as required for the proper operation of the GFCI Protection.
GFCI Example: Most spas and hot tubs require a 4-wire GFCI circuit where a separate neutral wire is required.
If you are providing 240 volt power to an agricultural pump that does not require GFCI protection or a separate neutral then you just need to install a regular 2-pole 240 volt circuit breaker.
Make sure to install the wiring as required for the specific motor size and a properly sized and bonded ground wire.
I am installing a 2 pole GFCI circuit breaker for heat trace that does not require a neutral conductor. Can I just disconnect the neutral conductor that connects to the neutral bus from the breaker and still have proper operation?
The neutral wire from the GFCI circuit breaker must be terminated to either the neutral bar or the ground bar, which is the same at the main panel. The neutral wire of the GFCI breaker helps the GFCI sense if there is a problem, and removing the wire will prevent the GFCI from working properly and the GFCI TEST Button will likely not work either. Most GFCI breakers come with instructions for alternate wiring, which should instruct you to terminate the neutral wire where the ground wire of the circuit will be terminated.
Hi, I'm trying to replace a three prong outlet with a GFI as required when selling a home. This outlet is in the laundry room. It has a white and black and a green ground but also has a red wire with the connection between the blacks cut. The red is connected on the same side as the black. How do I connect a new GFI outlet.
If there are spare wires in the box then they will need to be identified to see what their function is within the circuit.
Hi, I have an Intermatic Electrical Panel with the C/B's in my house, however, for the AC compressor I have a two pole GE-THQL2150 C/B my question is if can replaced the existing C/B with a New type like the GE-THQL2150GF-1 that is commonly used in Hot Bath tubs and has a surge protection installed within.


Shrub or small tree, native to South America (Bolivia, Argentina), naturalized elsewhere; leaves long-petioled, ovate, leathery, entire; inflorescences many-flowered lax panicles; flowers tubular, corolla yellow, 2.5-4.5 cm.

The leaves are poisonous by ingesetion. Patients are confronted with life-threatening motor paresis. In addition to severe muscle weakness, bulbar palsies, flexor muscle spasm, hypertension, nausea, vomiting, and respiratory compromise were reported.


For keeping track with hundreds of blogs, RSS readers are the best tools; my personal favorite is Google Reader which is free, easy to use and available for all devices. For most of the blogs it's perfect, but with Flipboard you've got something different: a magazine experience.
Google Reader is brilliant to collect blogs and consume information: the followed web pages can be grouped by interests – you know which of those lists to read carefully, and which ones don't need a very close attention. I usually read all the posts of friends' blogs, but with the 200-300 incoming posts a day with the label 'inspirating-graphics', I could sit at the computer and push the next button for the whole day.
These labels therefore need some special treatment, and that's where Flipboard has no competition. It's a great way to read information you don't really mind missing out: you can scan through all your feeds just as if it was a magazine. Big pictures, headlines with nice typography and page layouts – it really is amazing how all the different kind of blogs and web portals turn into something beautiful and consistent. And it does more than just RSS: Twitter, Facebook posts and all sorts of social networks can be plugged into Flipboard – and become magazines on your device.

Amis and Salinger: The Latitude of Private Conscience
Green, Martin. "Amis and Salinger: The Latitude of Private Conscience." Chicago Review, Vol. 11, No. 4 (Winter, 1958), 20-25.
First Paragraph:
"J. D. Salinger and Kingsley Amis are brothers, with a common inheritance, tendency, and temperament."
Green points to similarities in the works of Salinger and Kingsley Amis, but says, "… the point is not that they are so similar, as that they are so different from everybody else." (21) Green notes ways in which their styles differ from the Modernists, notably Hemingway , Faulkner, James, and Kafka. By comparison he says, Salinger and Amis are more playful with language and themselves, noting their sentences are "strikingly personal, self-conscious, clumsy, [and] "clever." (21)
He notes that they write about similar people and stresses that this is why the sentences quoted from both authors' characters are "equally the utterance of the author." (22) Green states that the "crucial category … is the phony." (22) The effort to be not phony and also not too kind or rude to those who are phonies leaves both authors' heroes "unable to live a normal life" as they "fight a perpetual guerilla war with the ordinary world." (22)
Green suggests that in spite of "temperamental and national differences" their situations have a similarity as well. He presents Amis as more interested in the squalid world and less forgiving of his characters, noting that Salinger's central characters are "beautiful and much loved" and "never lose their natural dignity." (22) Green also emphasizes that both writers are connected by their attention to characters' language, specifically their slang and that their level of personalization is what separates them from other "comic" writers.
Moreover, Green says, the characters gain even more similarity during the serious points of their works. He labels both Salinger's and Amis's heroes as "puritanical" and "pedagogical," noting how difficult it is to make characters sympathetic at the same time. (*Editor's Note: While there is some didacticism in the example he gives of Franny speaking to Zooey, and even, it could be argued, some fanaticism, it is difficult I think to make the case that all of Salinger's characters are this way.)
The main problem both writers tackle, Green argues, is "how to take one's place in intelligent, privileged, ruling-class society–which presents itself to both of them as horribly inadequate and dangerous." (24) Green asserts that Salinger and Amis provide "at last a positive , life-giving alternative" to the Modernism of Hemingway, Faulkner, Greene, Waugh, McCullers and others. (25)

HOUSE-MUSEUM
ADVISORY SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE
THE MURDER AND TRIALS
HIS GRAVE
bill n 213 of 20 december 2017
The Giacomo Matteotti House Museum
The Giacomo Matteotti House Museum was set up under Law 255/2004 and has been nominated as an important cultural location (according to art.10, comma 3 letter d of the Cultural Heritage Code) in that it maintains elements of the daily family life of one of the protagonists of 20th century history.
Giacomo Matteotti lived in this house, and after his death it continued to be the family home for his mother Isabella Garzarolo, his widow Velia Titta and his children Giancarlo, Matteo and Isabella. It was renovated according to the previously mentioned law 225/2004, and it was left by the children to the Accademia dei Concordi, while it is managed by the Fratta town council, according to an agreement between the owners and the town council drawn up on 26/6/2010. It was opened to the public in 2012. The town council deliberated on 13/6/ 2006 that there should be an advisory scientific committee to manage it, and on 21/3//2012 that there should be a set of regulations, including a Director. All these jobs are done by volunteers.
The agreement signed in 2016 with the History Department of the University of Padua (DiSSGea) ensures the scientific et accademic connections needed by the Home Museum.
The small side door has a symbol in relief with the motto which Matteotti chose also for his headed notepaper: foris pugnae intus timores (without were fightings within were fears), taken from the New Testament, St Paul's second letter to the Corinthians.
The building can be found in the Veneto Land Registry (1775) as a two storey house with the main entrance on the south facade, two windows on both sides, and two windows on both floors of the house on the east facing side. Later land registries during the Napoleonic era (1808-1810) and the the Austrian (later Austro-Italian) have a building divided into three parts, each with its own garden. Girolamo Matteotti, Giacomo's father, became the sole owner of the property in 1895.The extension of the building can be dated back to the first decades of the 20th century. This consisted of a loggia of concrete pillars, used to store tools (now the entrance to the Museum), and a balcony, with a concrete decorated balustrade on the first floor. The villa and garden are surrounded by a wall with pedestrian and vehicle entrances.
The architecture is that of a country villa: a large central hall, with rooms leading off from both sides and the staircase between floors. The three floors of the building are defined by the rectangular or octagonal windows on each side and each floor, including the second-attic floor. Stone is used in the facade, to outline the rounded arch door on the ground floor and the one on the first floor, which opens onto a small balcony. Stone has also been used on the window sills of the north and south facades.
Renovation work included emergency stairs and a lift to the left of the main building. Each facade has a Greek-style fret, made of pre-fabricated concrete elements, positioned at the level of the second floor ceiling, showing the division of the floors. The pavilion roof has a plastered brick cornice which provides a decoration to the upper part of the house. The four main chimneys can be seen on the north and south facades.
The garden and driveway are protected as cultural heritage representing a typical rural landscape. On the left we can see indigenous plants (poplars, cypresses, plane trees) while on the left there are adventitious plants: pine, fir and sequoia trees.
Giacomo lived in this house with his parents, his wife Velia Titta (1890-1938) who he married in civil ceremony in 1916, and with their children: Giancarlo (1918-2006), Matteo (1921-2000) who were both social-democratic politicians, and Isabella (1922-1994). Matteotti's body was laid out in the main room of the ground floor, after his coffin was brought by train at dawn on 21 August 1924, and the funeral procession left from here for the burial in the local cemetery.
The Museum-House is where the annual ceremony is held to commemorate the murder of Giacomo Matteotti. It also houses a exhibition of photographs and documents (in digital version too) concerning the life and tragic death of the politician. There are also conferences held there, revolving around this protagonist of the early 20th century, a paladin of democracy, freedom of thought and social justice.
The House Museum has multimedia which gives visitors a varied approach to the figure of Matteotti and the place he lived in.

(…) Coming back to these rooms where we shared our first emotions gives me a feeling of great melancholy which I can't overcome. I can still see you in the kitchen or garden and want to wait for you there as I always did. The children are always asking me where you are (…)
Letter from Velia to Giacomo , Fratta Polesine, 16th May 1923
The Giacomo Matteotti Museum opens up the personal and political life of one of the protagonists of 20th century Italian history. He was born in Fratta Polesine and this town contributed to his political ideas and development.
According to Bill n 213 of 20 december 2017 the House-Museum has been assigned the status of national monument, because of its exceptional historical and political importance.
The Matteotti Archive et the Library, apart from a few books, was transferred to the Filippo Turati Foundation of historical studies in Florence many years ago, before the building was renovated.
The Museum has been created inside the house where the Matteotti family lived from the end of the 19th century. The villa is now the property of the Rovigo Accademia dei Concordi , left to this association by Matteotti's children, and it has been renovated and transformed into a museum, while strictly adhering to the original structure, layout and furniture of when Matteotti lived there.
When his body was found not far from Rome in August 1924, the coffin was brought back to Fratta and the body laid out in the main room on the ground floor – a room still present in the house today- before being taken to the local cemetery for the funeral .
We can say that everything in these rooms brings to mind the life and death of one of the fathers of our democracy, who deserves to be known above all by the younger generations.

Stories Of The Worst Adult Tantrums These People Have Ever Seen
Adults are humans too so in only makes sense that they would lose their cool every now and then. But there is a big difference between losing your cool and having full on temper tantrums past 7 years of age.
Interested in reading more temper tantrum accounts? Find the original thread at the end of the article.
I mostly saw the aftermath of this but I heard a lot of banging and yelling as I and several co-workers at a small company rushed to the front office to see what was going on. It turned out two women had gotten into a full throwing stuff at each other fight, including their chairs. All because one had started a diet and the other had a candy jar on her desk.
The other one I saw when I was a kid and it was insane. After a girl's softball tournament one of the parents had a freakout while first and second place teams were lined up and receiving their trophies (my sister was on one of the teams). She ranted, screamed, yelled at the umpires, accused them of fixing the game, threw equipment around, threw dirt, stopped just short of assault (and the umpires and coaches mainly let her rant, even when she was screaming in their faces). Her daughter was standing there, holding her second place trophy, in tears. Finally this woman yelled at her daughter to come on, they were leaving. The daughter clearly wanted to stay, but the lady kept screaming, so the daughter stepped away from the team and walked toward her. The woman tore the trophy away from her daughter's hands and threw it on the ground, the two of them heading off into the parking lot.
I felt horrible for the girl. And it was one of the first times I realized a lot of adults suck.

I worked at a Wendy's for a few years during college.
The meltdown of legend was when a little-league mom came in with the whole team of kids and ordered food for all of them and some of the parents. She then began to grow increasingly frustrated and visibly upset at the amount of time it took to prepare such a large volume of food.
She begins to pointedly ask why her food was taking so long, over and over, each time her voice getting a little higher.
After a few minutes she starts saying "This is simply unacceptable" and begins to ask for a refund, despite the fact that she can see the poor sandwich maker is standing right next to me working frantically to put all her cheeseburgers together. I say, "Okay. Let me just get the manager." She then starts screeching that she wants the refund NOW and throws her carrier tray of frosties onto the floor, gets down on her hands and knees and I kid you not proceeds to start grinding the spilled frosty into the carpet with her bare hands all the while shrieking as if her child had been run over in the drive-thru.

I work at a hotel and just the other day I had a grown woman refuse to sleep in any room and just lay on the couch in the lobby to sleep. She was upset because her room was further than she thought it was.
The saddest part about this situation is that it's almost a daily occurrence.
Apparently, adults act like children when they don't get their way at a hotel.

I met a girl online and we talked for a while. Eventually, I paid for her to visit me from Los Angeles. She was okay at first but started complaining about the stupidest stuff like that I have a cat (which she already knew). The next day she freaked out over Red Robin and made us leave. By then, I had enough, but was biding my time.
Eventually the time comes for her to go home and I give her a ride to the airport. While we are walking in she gets mad about something, and I can't even remember what it was.
Here is where it gets good. She literally lays on the ground and starts screaming and flailing like a child. This woman was 31-years-old. I just dropped her luggage and walked back to my car and drove off.
Fun post script: She missed her flight and called me trying to get me to come stay with her at the hotel. Uhh...no.

I was walking home one night and in the parking lot adjacent to my building there was a guy (late 20s, maybe early 30s) sitting on the pavement waving his arms around and yelling.
He was surrounded by four police officers who were trying to get him to calm down.
As I walked by, I heard him yell: "Just wait till my dad gets here! He's bigger than ALL YOU JERKS!"

I worked in a call centre for a major retail chain and we provided technology support to their main corporate office as well as the stores. It was a really big desk, I think at our peak when I was working there we had around close to 70 or more agents where more than 50 were active during our peak hours. So you saw a lot of interesting people and weird characters. Still, it was a very professional environment and no one really had any major freak outs surprisingly...except for one guy.
I don't know his name and I never learned it. But his routine was, come in when ever he wanted to, sit down at a desk, sign into the phone, put him self in a not ready status, pull out a drawing tablet, and sit there playing on it all day. He was a normal agent like the rest of us but he rarely took calls - if ever. The rumor was that he was the nephew of someone really high up in the company and that's why his behavior was ignored. He was quiet and kept to himself and him being paid to do nothing really didn't hurt us.
One day though he stands up abruptly yelling curse words at the top of his lungs. An entire call centre suddenly goes dead and all eyes go to him. He storms off to the break room with his tablet in hand and what followed was the sound of something being bashed against something else and the repeated shouts of profanity. That lasted for around 15-30 seconds, where he walked calmly out of the break room sans tablet, quietly sat at his desk, and glared at his computer monitor.
I didn't see him the next day and never saw him again. I'm assuming he got moved into upper management.

I was working at Burger King and a lady came through the drive-thru just as we opened at 6.
She demanded a McGriddle then drove up before we could tell her she's at the wrong place. She screamed at us "Where it at? Where's my McGriddle?" She Wouldn't leave the drive-thru until we gave her a McGriddle.
Yes, she was drunk. Yes, the police came.

I was working at a small convenience store. I usually work as a cashier and another person works in the back of the store at the deli.
Well this guy comes in and wants a breakfast sandwich from the deli and my co-worker tells him it'll be about 10 minutes because she has to make it. He starts to get really mad that he has to wait. I guess he thought they were pre-made or something. Anyway, he waits while she makes his sandwich and comes up to pay and I ring up his sandwich. The price is $3.99 and it's written on the sandwich but it has a tax for prepared food so it's actually a little over $4.
He starts yelling at me about how I had the price wrong and he's in a hurry. When I explain we have tax for sandwiches and he gets pissed, grabs the sandwich and flings it right at my head and runs out of the store. So he pretty much wasted 15 minutes and I got a free breakfast sandwich for lunch.

"Stan" comes into office and notices "Bill" has muddy boots propped up on Stan's desk.
Stan goes red in the face, leaps on to Bill's desk and proceeds to do what I can only describe as a riverdance.
"How do you like mud on YOUR desk", Stan screams.
I about crapped on myself laughing.

I used to work at a grocery store. I once watched a lady go into a screaming, swearing fit because we wouldn't let her into the meat department to buy sausages...because that section had been blocked off by the fire department.
There were three or four firefighters there, in plain view of the woman, in turnouts, tearing apart one of our refrigerator units because the motor had started smouldering. You could see and smell the smoke. This lady screamed at my supervisor for five minutes before one of the firefighters came over and literally told the woman to screw off which absolutely made my day.
Our store manager sent the fire station a giant gift basket afterwards.

I watched a guy in Wal-Mart act out at like 10pm because some sections at the store were blocked off to be waxed overnight.
He had his entire family, which included 4 young kids and was freaking out at the self-check out lady over the section being blocked. He keep asking why they didn't do it later in the night even as she explained that it's a long process that takes literally all night.

I saw a full grown adult pitch a fit about the increased price of milk. They went and grabbed the receipt of their last week groceries. The difference was 3 cents. They proceed to go through every derogatory word to describe the poor hourly worker while stomping their feet. After 10 minutes of this, the managers finally arrive to only have it repeated for another 10 minutes.
Management caved and awarded the individual the price of milk for a week ago. All of this was over 3 cents.

My ex-girlfriend was terrified of being alone. Not like the crippling sadness from not having a soulmate literally being in a house or apartment when no one else is home.
One Christmas I went home to visit my family and she went to visit hers in a different town. Something went wrong and she got into a fight with her sister. So she left and went back to our apartment, I still had about a week left of my trip home to see my family. She called me and said she expected me home that day because she couldn't be at our apartment alone. I told her I took time off work and came home to see my family because I rarely get to do so, she started screaming at the top of her lungs that I needed to get home as soon as possible because she was terrified.
I hung up because I practically went deaf in one ear from her screaming so she called my dad and screamed at him that she was going to kill herself if I didn't go back because she couldn't be alone. Absolutely ruined my Christmas with my family. I ended up going back later that day and lost a lot of respect for myself.

I watched a man (who will be my father-in-law later this year) completely lose his damn mind over a waiter stating he couldn't make a modification to an item on a restaurant's menu.
LETS_G0_BUFFALO
I work in a fairly popular bakery. Every Wednesday, we have a big sale (one of our more popular items will be very cheap for the day). This particular Wednesday the sale item happened to be cookies.
We were selling them for 75 cents and, as you can imagine they sold very fast. Our bakers prepare for this and usually having five extra trays of cookies to sell. One of our most popular cookies sold out, but we couldn't make more because we ran out of supplies for that kind. Most people were very understanding and just picked another cookie. Then enters a not so understanding lady.
She saw that slot for cookies was empty, so she asked if we had anymore. I kindly said that no, we were out but the bakers just went off to get the supplies to make them. They should be ready within the hour.
She lost it. She started screaming about how she needed them because she wanted to impress her friends. I suppose she was telling them she made them or something, I don't know. She actually grabbed the cookie display and tipped it over, ruining our stock for the afternoon. She stomped on them all, saying how if she couldn't get her cookies, no one could. She is now banned from the store and we keep the cookies behind the counter where only we can reach them.

I worked part-time for a marketing company promoting food brands many years ago.
I made some simple dishes and served them in the store from a food cart. This family rushes in with more than 5 kids and plunders the samples. After stuffing themselves the parents ask if it was pork meat in the food.
All meat dishes being pork I said yes. They threw a huge tantrum since they were not allowed to eat pork.

In my mid-twenties, I was living in a pretty big house and splitting the rent with five other people. We had a communal kitchen but the vegans (there were 3 of them) kept their pans and utensils separate. No problem.
And then I bought a blender.
A month or so goes by, and one of my vegan roommates started a macrobiotic thing that I never fully understood, but involved a lot of blending.
Lentils? In the blender. Parsnips and spinach? In the blender. Blackberries? Tofu? Beans and rice? In the blender. Everything he ate was room-temperature paste from the blender.
I was completely cool with that. I put it in the kitchen for the household to use. Myself included. There was one reason I bought that blender, and one reason only.
Peanut butter banana smoothies. I freaking love peanut butter banana smoothies. You peel a bunch of bananas, put them in the freezer, pull one out later and stick it in a blender with some peanut butter and some milk. Perfection.
I knew the blender was getting some heavy vegan mileage, so being the kind-hearted, conscientious person that I am, I used soy milk. No problem.
I was at the point of switching on the blender when my aforementioned roommate ambled into the kitchen, obviously hell bent on another paste feed. He locked eyes with me. I saw panic rising in his face. "Don't worry, it's soy milk." I said, thinking the matter quickly resolved. The panic remained. It grew. His eyes widened and both of his hands rose in unison to grip fistfuls of hair at his temples, elbows akimbo.
"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?" He bellowed, knuckles white, hair follicles at their last extremity. "I'm making a smoothie, buddy. What's up?"
Hands still buried in his hair, pulling at the temples, elbows pointed out at the walls, my roommate achieved a physical feat I have only ever witnessed in cartoons. He leapt in to the air, both legs raising simultaneously, knees spread to the side, nearly reaching his chest repeatedly, with both of his feet timed to punctuate the words that followed.
"YOU. CAN'T. PUT. BANANAS. IN. THE BLENDER!" Around The "BL" in blender, he slipped but completed the word before he landed. Hard. He maintained eye contact with me through the whole ordeal until the fall. While on the floor he regained eye contact and began raving incoherently about enzymes while pulling yams out of his grocery bag and tossing them around on the floor.
I turned the blender on and made my smoothie. When I was done, he had gone to his room with his yams.
Why the banana's couldn't go in the blender? I'm still asking till this day but not because my roommate didn't explain his reasons to me. I would just zone out after a while when he talked about food.
I remember that eating the pasted food had something to do with the process of chewing and the production of gastric juices. All I can recall about the bananas is that enzymes were involved that would break down some other quality of his food. Amino acids, maybe?
He was dabbling with Hare Krishna consciousness at the time, so maybe they have an anti-banana outlook. He also thought melons were very bad for you, and once threw away an entire sack of my potatoes because a couple of them had a green cast to the skin, making them a neuro-toxin.

I once knew a guy that would fake seizures for attention. I knew he was faking it because it never seemed quite right, but once I started announcing "okay I'm calling an ambulance!" he would immediately come to with zero side effects. It happened a number of times, he would fall over "seizing" and the second I yelled "CALL AN AMBULANCE!" he propped right up 1 second later and would be like "don't worry, I'm good now!".

One time I actually did call an ambulance, even after he protested not to, and he was PO'd. I said "hey man, you have seizures so often that I felt like you needed medical attention" and of course the doctors didn't really find anything wrong with him. He wouldn't talk to me for weeks. But then all of the sudden his "seizures" became far less frequent.

Some girl came running out of the woods near my house and went up to my neighbor and said with a straight face "did you know that if you put ice in a Blender with mangoes it makes a really good smoothie ?" then sprinted away from the house and down the street at like Mach 4.

66pc workers are women in eight EPZs
Published: May 28, 2019 19:37:56 | Updated: June 14, 2019 12:12:08
Female workers are playing a vital role to accelerate the economic activities in the industries in country's eight Export Processing Zones (EPZs) with around 66 per cent participation in production.
"Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) has set a milestone in women empowerment. A large number of female workers are working in the EPZs. Among the total 5,16,588 workers in EPZs, around 66 per cent are women," BEPZA General Manager Nazma Binte Alamgir said, reports BSS on Tuesday.
She said that every year an increasing number of women are joining the productive workforce of EPZs. "Women from the backward areas are gradually progressing their positions in the EPZs as team leaders," she added.
Before being employed in EPZ, Nazma said, they were considered burden of their families and they had no participation in decision-making.
"Now, they are self-dependent and economically solvent. They can provide financial support to their families and participate in decision-making process. In a word, women working in the EPZs are now in the mainstream of development," she added.
For empowering and employing the unemployed women of the northern part of Bangladesh, she said, a project was initiated with the help of World Bank called 'Northern Areas Reduction of Poverty Initiative Project (NARI)'.
The aim of this project was to facilitate access to employment opportunities in the garment sector for poor and vulnerable women from backward areas by providing information, technical and life skill training, transitional housing and other supports to adjust to urban life and formal sector employment, she mentioned.
Nazma also informed that a total of 10,800 women trained themselves to get employment opportunities in the EPZ enterprises.
A total of eight EPZs are being operated across the country. Those are Chittagong EPZ, Dhaka EPZ, Mongla EPZ, Ishwardi EPZ, Comilla EPZ, Uttara EPZ, Adamjee EPZ and Karnaphuli EPZ.
In order to stimulate rapid economic growth of the country, particularly through industrialisation, the government has adopted an 'Open Door Policy' to attract foreign investment to Bangladesh. The BEPZA is the official organ of the government to promote, attract and facilitate foreign investment in the EPZs.
BEPZA, as the competent authority, performs inspection and supervision of the compliances of the enterprises related to social and environmental issues and safety and security at workplaces aiming to maintain harmonious labour-management and industrial relations in EPZs.
The primary objective of an EPZ is to provide special areas where potential investors would find a congenial investment climate. BEPZA is working to strengthen the economic-base of Bangladesh through industrialisation, promotion of investment, increasing export and generation of employment in the EPZs.

Atlantean Warrior
By Howard Zinn
BuzzFlash.com's Review (excerpt)
Celebrate peace with this posthumous book from Howard Zinn.
"Occasioned by the 65th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, Zinn's final work (completed just before his death in January 2010), combines a discussion of the horrors of atomic warfare with a glimpse at the carnage in Royan, which included the deaths of over 1,000 civilians in one of the first uses of napalm. . . . Zinn's call to reject disproportionate violence in war remains unalloyed and relevant to today's conflicts." --Brendan Driscoll --Booklist
"As a World War II combat soldier, Howard Zinn took part in the aerial bombing of Royan, France. Two decades later, he was invited to visit Hiroshima and meet survivors of the atomic attack. In this short and powerful book, Zinn offers his deep personal reflections and political analysis of these events, their consequences, and the profound influence they had in transforming him from an order-taking combat soldier to one of our greatest anti-authoritarian, antiwar historians. This book was finalized just prior to Zinn's passing in January 2010, and is published on the sixty-fifth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima."

ASTROTHEOLOGY & SHAMANISM PDF
The authors show, with the use of numerous images, textual citations, and etymological analyses, how the symbols used in Christian art and encoded in sacred texts reference sacramental use of psychedelic mushrooms as well as ancient astronomical knowledge. Along with a call to wake up to the true history of Judeo-Christian tradition, the authors call for a return to direct spiritual experience through visionary sacraments unmediated through dominating religious institutions. This is a powerful and provocative book that is sure to challenge and inspire. Ball, Ph. Linking Christianity to its nature-based, shamanic roots, this wide-ranging, lavishly illustrated, and exhaustively referenced book establishes a new benchmark for scholarly and controversial views in the field.

Few have risked as much in pursuit of truth as you. Special Note This is a mind-expanding book. It helps us share the perspective of a shaman a seer or wise man on the world and on the interplay of sun and stars. In this world view, heaven and earth are the dual parts of a whole.
Duality means correspondence rather than conflict: the confluence of stars governing our destiny; the roots and leaves of the world tree feeding each other; 'as above, so below'. The world is a web of interconnections, and to discover their oneness is to discover the god within each living thing. As part of this world view, symbolism and mythology convey the truth and help us attain it. We need to understand the power that symbols used to hold - not merely decorative or reflective but as the doors to deeper meaning.
Myths that nowadays seem fanciful conveyed themes such as redemption or rebirth themes that underlie age-old religions. By comparing the symbols and iconography of Christianity with those of different religions, we can see common ideas stemming from much older and deeper sources.
For example, the similarities between the stories and images of Jesus, Horus and Krishna suggest a common ancestry in sun worship. Now we see how various aspects of the Christian religion have grown out of earlier beliefs based on the power of the sun and the seasons. The book focuses on the central role of entheogenic plants, especially mushrooms, and the symbolism associated with them, in enabling the shaman or priest to attain divine knowledge.
Ideas put forward by John Marco Allegro about the origin of religion in The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross in - which met universal condemnation - are here largely vindicated. In the development of language from Sumerian times, Allegro found evidence of a world view based on the beliefs and practices of an ancient fertility religion; ideas that were handed down in the guise of many different stories through classical and biblical times.
The dry philological approach of The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross is here supported by a wider study of symbols, iconography and mythology, and further work on word derivation. To read this book one should put aside the conventional outlook that hinges morality, ethics and history on the life of a single religious teacher 2, years ago. In its place the mind must open to a sense of oneness with the world and all on it.
Through rediscovering our heritage of symbols, myths and evolving languages, we can try to attain a deeper understanding and compassion for the world we share. To strengthen arguments in certain areas, texts from Epiphanius, the Muslim Mishkat, and others have been added, and the citations and footnotes have been greatly expanded and updated throughout.
The bibliography has been similarly expanded. The layout of the book has been changed: reorganized, reformatted and edited for easier flow and reading.
In addition, several of the images from the first edition have been removed, or replaced with images that better suit the material in discussion. The etymology section has also been cut - several of the word descriptions were found to be in error from their original sources. Their removal does not affect the concepts and conclusions presented in the book.
Overall, this edition seeks to correct any errors- content, grammatical, textual or otherwise- that remained in the first edition. In it, I strive to reach the highest academic standards, while not losing the interest of the popular reader.
Preface The purpose of this book is to satisfy a desperate need: to fill a void in people's basic understanding of the founding principles behind the origins of religion. Most religious people do not recognize this void because mysticism, spiritism, and supernatural substances have replaced the physical elements the stars above and the plants below that long ago were contained in the common teachings - teachings that have either been lost or suppressed by religious and government authorities.
Our intention is to offer some alternative explanations for dogmatic surrogates such as religious heroes, the Eucharist, manna, etc and reintroduce knowledge that has been sequestered completely.
We will also include some history offertility worship. Throughout history, humans have held a profound knowledge of the pattern of the stars in the sky and the pharrnacopia of plants of the earth. Our ancestors' teachings consisted of both the above and the below.
Their celestial-timed holidays were celebrated by the ingestion of sacred plants in a group communion-like setting. The biggest obstacle faced was the language barrier: how to put into words astral projections and ecstatic visionary states of consciousness from these experiences.
In fact, it has been suggested that the ingestion of these sacred substances is what catalyzed higher consciousness and language, from which we've created our extremely complex systems of communication. As symbols began to take their shape and written language evolved, words themselves became symbols.
The meanings of words are hidden within the words themselves. The following examples, both from antiquity and from modem day, are examples of the alchemical "Green Language" or "Language of the Birds" or language of the bards, as in poets.
A word that we use quite often throughout this book is anthropomorphism or anthropomorphized, which is a sort of personification. Anthropo, meaning man, is where words like anthropology come from. Morphism is transformation or correlation of a certain kind. To draw a smiling face on the sun or the moon is to anthropomorphize the sun or the moon. The Man in the Moon is an anthropomorphism of the moon. Simply giving an inanimate object e. Archaeoastronomy is the study of the knowledge, interpretations, and practices of the ancient cultures regarding celestial objects or phenomena of this nature and, consequently, tracking time Kronos and creating calendars.
Astrotheology is theology founded on observation or knowledge of celestial bodies. The word 'astrotheology' is broken down into three parts. First, there is Aster Astro : a star. Secondly, theo: god see below. Third, logy from logos: the word, or study of the theology of the stars see below. This is the study of how our ancestors revered the stars, the sun and the heavens as gods or deities. Entheobotany is the study and use of plants for spiritual purposes. This is the botany plant lore of entheos, which, in Greek, means enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm means "god within" or "a connyction with the divine. This includes plant combinations, fungi, and animal "poisons. Gordon Wasson. Entheomycology is the study and use of mushrooms for spiritual purposes. Ethnic refers to a cultural group, especially one that maintains traditional language or customs. Ethnobotany is the study of the plant lore and agricultural customs of a particular people: the study of the plants that these people use and the outcome or the impact that these plants have on the customs of their culture.
Logos is the Word, the creative word of God, which is itself God and incarnate in "Jesus". Logos is "word" in Latin. The Greeks considered logos to mean "reason. Macrocosm is a large representative system having analogies to smaller systems. Therefore, the macrocosm would represent that which is above. Mazzaroth used to be a fairly common word. Mazzaroth, by orthodox interpretation, simply means the 12 signs of the zodiac and their associated constellations.
One can find the word Mazzaroth in Job and in the Catholic Encyclopedia. A similar spelling, Mazzaloth, also appears in II Kings , though here it is typically transliterated as "planets," "constellations," or "zodiac. Schiaparelli published Astronomy in the Old Testament, which gives his evidence - contrary to orthodox opinion - showing that the word Mazzaroth could be a plurality of the planet Venus When the identity of its two appearances at morning and evening was discovered, it naturally came to be thought of as one star, and hence the author of the Book of Job used it as a singular in a plural garb.
Microcosm that which is below is a small representative system having analogies to a larger system. You can think of a hurricane as a microcosm compared to a swirling galaxy. At the same time, the hurricane can be a macrocosm to a tornado, which would be a microcosm. However, this tornado can also be seen as a macrocosm to a smaller natural 4 5 6 7 8 9 Ruck ; Ruck, Wasson, Ott and Bigwood, as an alternative term to usc for "psychedelics used religiously," coined the word entheogen.

They've spread from Austin to LA to Montréal, and now food trucks have reached a critical mass in Burlington. In a few weeks, Pine Street will gain its own semipermanent mobile food lot: the South End Food TruckStop.
Every Friday night beginning May 24, the parking lot behind Speeder & Earl's will morph into a bazaar of trucks and carts peddling barbecue, tacos, ice cream, fresh juices, beer and even maté. Live music and a few late-opening galleries will add to the festivities.
"There's enough food vendors around to constitute a rally, and we said, 'Hey, other places do it and it's a lot of fun,'" says Felix Wai of ArtsRiot, who organized the event with his partner, PJ McHenry. He says they will put out tables and chairs, provide access to bathrooms, and carve out "a little stage for music."
Nine vendors have signed on so far, says Wai, each with its own niche. There will be tacos from Muchacho Taco; burgers from the Burger Barn; ethnic street food from ¡Duino! (Duende); sandwiches and hot dogs from Cloud 9 Catering ("Either the Hindquarter or the [Local] Grind [will take part]," says Wai); barbecue from Southern Smoke Foods; fresh juices from Tomgirl Juice Co.; maté from Mocean Maté; ice cream from Lake Champlain Chocolates; and beer from Fiddlehead Brewing, which is one of the event's sponsors.
"We're at max capacity now," says Wai. He and McHenry will see how the space shakes out before changing the balance of vendors.
The event will run from 4 to 9 p.m. every Friday until November 1. ArtsRiot plans to donate a portion of each week's proceeds to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf. "That's what we hope to do," Wai says. "Our mission is to destroy apathy through art, food and music."
Roving chef Brian Stefan, who runs Southern Smoke, is planning to serve up Cajun and Caribbean-inspired foods such as smoked-pork sandwiches, empanadas stuffed with crab or smoked chicken, savory lobster, ham or chorizo beignets and — depending on availability — small plates such as fried dandelion heads. "I'm going to tap my farm friends to see what I can get," says Stefan.
He will also draw on spices he brought back from working on St. John this winter, bay leaves among them. "When you pair them with citrusy orange, bay rum sauce is really great with seafood," says Stefan, who will also park his cart outside of Maglianero and Burton Snowboards this summer.
The South End Food TruckStop isn't the only culinary plan up ArtsRiot's sleeves. In the building out front — specifically, the former Fresh Market — Wai and McHenry are busy building out an art gallery, event space and café, with chef Richard Witting running the last.
An ArtsRiot logo already hangs on a sign on the brick façade of 400 Pine Street — underscored with the words 'We destroy apathy." This summer, the cultural entrepreneurs will bring live music, performance, and interactive events to this stretch of road, along with noodles, steamed buns and other Chinese and Asian dishes.
"[The menu] will take a much different form than what you usually get at Chinese takeout places," says Wai, who says they're still in the "throes of permitting," but he hopes to open by July 1. And because Witting is still planning the menu, "That's all I can say right now," says Wai.

Q: http not working in ionic 2 I am using http module in ionic 2 to hit a get request but my webstorm complains that this module is deprecated.I have also used httpModule but it says the same for it.Below is my piece of code:
import {Http} from "@angular/http";

constructor(public navCtrl: NavController,private authService:AuthService,private http:Http) {

  }

And below is the error:
ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: StaticInjectorError[Http]:
  StaticInjectorError[Http]:
    NullInjectorError: No provider for Http!
Error: StaticInjectorError[Http]:
  StaticInjectorError[Http]:
    NullInjectorError: No provider for Http!

A: You have to add module in app.module.ts file
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';

and pass it to imports:[]
imports: [
        ...
        HttpModule,
        ...
    ],

A: If you are using angular version 5 or above, HttpModule from @angular/http is deprecated.
You need to use HttpClient from @angular/common/http.
Import HttpClientModule.
 import { HttpClientModule } from "@angular/common/http";

 imports: [
    ...
    HttpClientModule,
    ...
],

And in your page,
import { HttpClient } from "@angular/common/http";

//...
constructor(public http: HttpClient){}
