POPSTibetan glaciers rapidly melting The Water supply of nearly a billion people in South Asia in peril? Rather euphemistic way of describing it.! The effects will be devastating. A combination of drought, and Rivers that have become sewers never being purged, to say the least. There is no reason to believe that the melt will do anything but what it has continued to do so far...accelerate. Once scientists were often surprised. Now they are stunned. Why? They once had some fool idea they knew what they were talking about...but they were wrong. At least according to the reports we've had ACCESS to.

POPSMammoth genome may explain extinction. Perhaps after the ice age, woolly mammoths just overheated? Global warming means most of the Mammoths that have been in the deep freeze for 10,000 years, will thaw out. The next species on the agenda, is Neanderthal Man.

POPSNanofood safety proposal 'NOT good enough' Why? because it is DANGEROUS. It does nothing to benefit the consumer, but is a means of increasing profits by extending shelf life and appearance. There is a barrier called the Blood-Brain barrier, where the pores through osmosis will only admit a certain number of chemicals. with small molecular size, and identity. Nanofood elements throw a new invasive potential into the mix generally when there are alternatives that are much more healthy.

POPSMedical students fail drug tests They were generally unaware of street names of common recreational drugs, a knowledge that can be critical in diagnosis, and the prescribing an antidote or remedy. Very often the information given is from people who are delirious, feel threatened, concerned about being responsible for an overdose, or hysterical because of the fear someone they know well may not survive. They can find it hard to trust a doctor without a clue.

Ponder them well, that you also may find the Rock which is the foundation Stone of truth, the temporal blessing, and the eternal reward."

POPSOur choices go to the core of who we are - Accounting for Taste "We consume books, movies, music, and visual art primarily to fulfill the internal emotional needs that are fundamental to our personalities. But we also make choices about art based on a desire to carve out identities for ourselves—to articulate the stories of our lives. By the same token, we look for those stories in others"

POPS'Old-boy's club holding back innovation We all now have access to a vast amount of research and data on the net. a Few people would have absolutely no hope, but the networks being created on the web, are places where anyone can comment, or include findings, so the pieces can start coming together more quickly. It isn't what we know that is important. it's what we do with the knowledge

POPS'Historic' 'bailout' passes Congress This has got Nothing whatsoever to do with People (Who?) This is to bail ou the banking industry and corporate holdings. - give them the cash, and when the Economy hits rock bottom the idea is to buy out things of value, real assets for pennies. There is an Australian Movie 'The Castle' that puts into context "They're Dreamin' " Are we going to sell what we own Like they've sold the U.S. to Europe.? That's up to You

POPSCola, stale chip research win win Ig Nobels What they found about the mechanism of sperm and aids killing makes me wonder if cola can be used on other micro organisms like MRSA. The sperm in the sugar, no doubt with the chemicals in cola acting as a catalyst, cause them to 'Eat themselves to death, through osmosis, and the recognition of sugar opening some cellular gates.

POPS'Chemical equator' keeps southern air clean The virtual map says it all. Now it means the approach to the solution of the pollution problem needs to be tackled in different ways in each hemisphere. Atmospheric pollution is only one problem. More investigation needs to be done into the nature of oceanic pollution. it did make me wonder of the Nuclear Fusion experiments on Mururoa (Aopuni) and Bikini atolls in French Polynesia last Century. The first nuclear test was conducted on July 2, 1966, code named Aldebaran. France abandoned nuclear testing in the atmosphere in 1974 and moved testing underground in the midst of intense world pressure. A total of 147 underground nuclear tests were conducted at Mururoa and Fangataufa. This practice created much controversy as cracking of the atolls was discovered, A 1979 test conducted at half the usual depth caused a large submarine landslide on the southwest rim of the atoll. Just somehow seemed relevant

POPSOur Future is ours to write The grand Unified Theory of Time Space, and Existence. We all have a choice. The choice between Light and Darkness. The Darkness is ignorance, division, fear, and oppression, hunger and need., The light is knowledge, understanding, acceptance, unity, compassion, empathy, faith, hope, and Love. There is a reason we fear the darkness. It will kill us. But only if we believe it is so. When we allow in the light, the Darkness has no substance, and so ceases to exist. So our fears can be relieved, and replaced with hope. The Future is ours to write.

POPSOutdoor pools more 'breathtaking':study
They were studying the way exposure to chlorine vapor can cause Asthma. It was believed that out door pools allowed Chlorine to evaporate more quickly. This was more an assumption than a fact. Chlorine Gas and HCl or Hydrogen Chloride, which becomes Hydrochloric Acid, when it dissolves in water as a matter of course, is best in the stomach for digestion, or with or with the Alkali NaOH (Sodium hydroxide) which becomes the neutral Salt It Does Not Belong in the Lungs. Why do we use chemical Pan Microbicides, when there is the potential to give water its own version of an immune system? Creeks, rivers and Oceans Don't need Chlorine to remain clean. Why should we think we have a better defense using Chlorine. killing all microbes can turn water Sterile and Stagnant. We need Oxygenated Water,(Waterfall) and microbes can be part of a self contained Eco=system Pools don't need Chlorine, they need things like Fish . this will also help recycle biological 'waste' we produce naturally

POPSPictures: “Lego Block” Prison Cells Readied In Utah I'd hate to speculate the purpose of these, but the way things are going I wouldn't doubt they are for civil unrest.. If you researched the last RNC you will know that they arrested any un-embedded reporters such as Amy Goodman and crew on bogus charges, but they were among a few people that were arrested by POLICE < in all black uniforms with no ID just POLICE! It is said that the POLICE used in such a violation of our rights will be blackwater types from foreign nations.
