POPSFirst Self-Healing Coatings Bielawski points to the practical aspects of the Illinois coatings, which are made up of cheap, readily available chemicals. And Braun says that the new additives could be used in a wide range of applications in coatings that are cured up to temperatures of about 150 °C. The group demonstrated the self-healing system in various coatings, including in a commercial military ship paint. Most work on self-healing materials, including those developed by the Illinois group, has been aimed at incorporating them into various structures, restoring mechanical properties to walls so that they won't crumble or to airplane wings so that they won't fracture. The key to the coating technology, says Braun, was encapsulating the catalyst. If unprotected, the catalyst could degrade the coating itself; encapsulating it makes the system compatible with a wide range of paints and coatings.

POPSThank You, Jimmy Carter Don't let the right-wing propaganda machines convince you that Carter is anti-Semitic when he is not! More from Rabbi Lerner: "In an interview...in the January issue of Tikkun magazine, Carter points out that he is “not referring to racism as a basis for Israeli policy in the West Bank, but rather the desire of a minority of Israelis to occupy, confiscate and colonize Palestinian land.” To enforce that occupation of Palestinian land, Israel has built in the West Bank separate roads for Jewish settlers and Palestinians, built separate school systems, has totally different allocations of money, water, food and security for each population, wildly privileging the Jewish settlers and discriminating against the Palestinians whose families have lived there for centuries." "What Carter is arguing is that the best interests of Israel and the United States are not served by the current policies."

POPSTesla Purple Plates for Healing
The plates are made of aluminum, which is first anodized (electrolytic oxidation) and then colored. The spin of the atoms and electrons of the aluminum is thus changed in such a way, that the plates are said to vibrate in resonance with the fundamental energy (Chi, Prana, Orgon) of the universe. The plates were developped by Ralph Bergstresser after a patent and from the knowledge / information and ideas of Nikola Tesla, with whom he worked for a certain time. With anodizing, the field of the plates is changed and interacts with tachyons. The surface of the plates has a crystal-structure. Their chemical composition is the same as that of rubies and sapphires, which also consist of aluminum oxide. We know that rubies give energy and thus were called "life-stones" in the Middle-Ages. The plates offered here have been further developed.Nikola Tesla himself used similar plates in several patents and called them antennas for free energy. They are said to transfer information from the

POPSMedicinal clays may heal ulcers They're not sure why it works, and are trying to pin down why. There can be two very similar clays, with only one having the healing process, but they have a few theories they can check, such as slight variations in mineral content, or structure. It has been used successfully in treating flesh eating disease in Ivory coast.

POPSSurgical lasers to heal cuts To overcome this problem, Katzir and his colleagues developed a laser-based system with a feedback loop that prevents overheating. First, they had to determine the optimal temperature at which flesh melts but can still heal (about 65 degrees Celsius). Then the group created a pen-sized tool that incorporates optic fibers: one that channels a carbon dioxide-powered infrared laser to the wound with pinpoint precision, and another that leads from the pen to an infrared sensor, which measures the temperature and ensures that the heat remains within the ideal range, between 60 and 70 degrees. All a surgeon has to do is move the pen's tip along the cut, strengthening and sealing the weld with a solder of water-soluble protein.

POPSWatermelon: Three Juicy Benefits Watermelon: Best Not Chilled Ice-cold watermelon on a steamy summer day really hits the spot. But you'll be best served by keeping it on your countertop until cutting time. Whole watermelons stored at room temperature deliver more cell-protecting antioxidants (specifically lycopene and beta carotene) than refrigerated or freshly picked melons. Here's why A Chilling Effect After it's picked, watermelon continues to ripen and build up antioxidants. Cold temperatures appear to cut this process short. So leave your watermelon out, as long as you haven't sliced it. After it's cut, it should be stored in the refrigerator for food-safety reasons. And don't forget to wash your watermelon before cutting it to avoid this.

POPSObama Considers Monsanto, Bush Sec. Of Agricuture for VP 
So, when Barack Obama even CONSIDERS a Monsanto person for his VP, we are looking at one hellish choice on his part and one large one on ours. Because ANYONE connected to Monsanto, at a time when our family farmers and ranchers (we are losing 1000 ranchers a month) are facing imminent collapse, is a threat to our land, our democracy and our lives. I hope you read the following with the horror it deserves and then get hold of every farming, environmental, human rights group you know and with them, let Obama know that some things are impossible to swallow, and monopoly over food with the loss of our farmers is TOP of the list. And in case you are late to who Monsanto is, you can read this to understand the dire significance of Obama's even considering such a choice and what it says about him as a "grass-roots" anything: Obama's Uniquely Awful Veep Prospect 2 hours, 4 minutes ago The Nation July 26, 2008 The Nation -- Barack Obama's vice presidential search team

POPSRescued Turtle Doing Well "He added: "Hardy creatures, these sea turtles." Some would call that an understatement. Day after day the turtle had endured harassment and eluded capture near the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's Haynes Generating Station. The turtle, as wide as a trash can lid, somehow got itself trapped in an inlet grated off from the rest of the channel."
