POPSabandon facebook, this network is going down! An article from the guys over at Mashable about the poll "Are you fed with Facebook?" As the circle diagram is showing the majority are fed up with this "2006/2007 phenomena". I´am searching for a social network that is for people over 25 and who has gained life experience. Really tired to see pictures of teenage girls with alot of make up & guys showing their torsos.

POPSRaindrops on roses The team tried to replicate the effect.They put some polyvinyl alcohol onto rose petals and allowed it to set, then peeled off a thin plastic cast of the petal surface.This film had the same properties as the rose petal:the film could hold droplets of between 3-5 microlitres even when held upside down. It seems that the physical shape of the surface is much more important than any chemical properties of the material in creating 'stickiness',says Ronald Fearing, a biomimetic engineer at the University of California at Berkeley. For a rose, this stickiness might come in handy as reflective water drops that glisten in the Sun might attract pollinating insects. In the lab, such materials might be useful for 'lab on a chip' devices that need to hold and shunt around tiny quantities of liquid without leaking or being contaminated by nearby materials. "These findings present many interesting applications in microfluid handling," says Fearing.

POPSCat Flight A Possibility? A study at Bristol’s rest of England University has taken the possibility of cat flying from the realms of Galileo’s used tissue to a real possibility and the clearly excited research team at URE have been running up and down the corridors, stamping, shouting and pointing up at the clear blue sky. “It’s a real breakthrough.” said professor Glynn Martin who has been leading the team since May 2007. Professor Martin went on to show slides(see diagram above) demonstrating velocity, arc, wind speed and the now much talked about ‘rolling patterns’ which appear to be part of the new science which has helped this project leap so gracefully forward. It seems that if a feline subject is ‘rolled’ soon after launching it can achieve a trajectory far in excess of that previously obtained when no rolling has been used.

POPSTugboats Harbour tugs are the most typical of the tugboats that people recognise. They’re used worldwide to move ships in and out of berth and to move industrial barges around waterfront complexes. Their job has remained the same but their design and engineering has changed much over the decades. Harbour tugs originally evolved from paddle wheelers into the conventional tug known by all, and evolved further into Ship Docking Modules and tractors. River tugs (also known as towboats or push boats) are designed as large squared-off vessels with flat bows for connecting with the rectangular stern of barges. They are large and powerful, most commonly seen on the big rivers of the world and are capable of pushing huge fleets of barges that are can be lashed together into "tows". Some tows can be up to 1,000ft long and 200ft wide. In inland waters, smaller push boats may be seen managing only a few barges. Despite their size, they are designed to push their tow rather than tow from the stern.

POPSSymptoms of a heart attack (women) Chest pain is the hallmark symptom of a heart attack. But not everyone having a heart attack experiences the same crushing pain. In particular, Women, the Elderly may experience no pain or atypical symptoms. This clip provides a diagram of the areas within a woman's body of what symptoms to be aware of...........
