POPSOn the Threshold of Eternity… It was, always have been in human nature... Depression. Terrible destructive feelings of hopelessness, darkness even in bright day. In the final count it is looseness, inability to manage your own life, copying with advancing troubles. Look at his haircut, beard, high hills... And he had his paintings. Instead of Internet.

POPSConductor in Deadly LA Train Crash Was Texting To do something good you have to fully concentrate on it. Any additional task distract your attention. If you trying to do two or more tasks simultaneously - neither one will be done properly. And some improper attitudes are deadly dangerous, especially operating such huge vehicle like commuter train. Any tragedy has silent twilight period, when something going on but not happening yet. Afterward investigators rebuild tragic chain of small, unnoticed events; to do it in advance requiring the responsibility and clear vision - lack of them is our usual way of life.

POPSCause of obesity? Cannot be ruled out. The global chemical industry produces about 6 billion pounds of BPA annually, generating at least $6 billion in annual sales. The value of BPA-based manufactured goods, from cell phones and computers to epoxy coatings and dental bindings, is probably incalculable. Thoughscientists have known since the 1930s that BPA mimics estrogen in the body , for unrelated reasons, the chemical serves as an essential building block of hard, clear polycarbonate plastics and tough epoxy resins, ubiquitous materials in the modern world. "It's probably the largest volume endocrine-disrupting chemical in commerce," says Vom Saal. "This stuff is in everything." Because plastics made with BPA break down easily when heated, microwaved, washed with strong detergents or wrapped around acidic foods like tomatoes, trace amounts of the potent hormone leach into food from epoxy lacquer can linings, polycarbonate bottles and other plastic food packaging.

POPSFarewell paper news and newspapers. Digital news sources - aggregators - are replacing now our old habit to open newspaper with morning cap of coffee. When you can see video clips on podcasts and youtube and read about something from numerous sources directly on your mobile phones - you will leave newspapers, magazines and even books in elusive past. Now the problem only are a quality of those sources and their tailoring to the needs of each of us. One of possible solution could be comprehensive chart in the end of article and sizable incentives for concerned readers.

POPSAnimals strick back I cannot forget terrible odor spreading around slaughter plant on I-10 and the border of Texas and New Mexico. Thousands of poor, trembling cows are standing in a mix of dirt and manure, knowing for sure their fate already. That's how the meat becoming a poison. Cruel and unusual treatment of anybody, even animals before their slaughter, cannot go unpunished. This is the rule of life and we would never escape it, regardless if it from God or the Nature.

POPSThat ugly Salmonella Saintpaul Incredible inconsistencies! An Outbreak is local event; when we calling it Multi-State, this is already nationwide Epidemic. 810 cases in 36 states in 3 months are Nationwide Epidemic? Common! What are you talking about?:) And now is the trouble with repacking... To tell the true, that plum tomatoes are really disgusting: tasteless, resinlike and even oily when you touch them. Where it's from: fashion hydroponic method of growing or just microbial film from those handlers-repackers? In this particular case it make sense to wash these veggies with detergent. In case you've got strong decision not trowing them away from very beginning and keep them for yourself. ;)

POPSRussert's massive heart attack. People have to die from something. Sooner or later. Nobody can avoid the end. Tim Russert was exposed to the dangers of our modern life as nobody other. Journalism itself, politic, traveling, long work day, stress of high level of management, some routine health problems and lifestyle. May be some of these components were too excessive. A kind of dissonance from harmony.
