POPSChild swimming pool: Swimming Pools and Home Security – New High Tech Developments Can you believe that there was actually a time when security fences around swimming pools weren't even mandatory? Back then, swimming pool accidents involving children were far too common.

POPSDown the throat of a dying star "Nebulae like this look like gigantic solid objects, but in fact a dense one would still be considered a hard vacuum in the laboratory. There might be something like 10,000 or even 100,000 atoms in a cubic centimeter of nebular gas, but compare that to the 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms in air at sea level!"

POPSHigh-speed rail: Can it work in the US? I am all for ditching vehicles and going with rail, especially high-speed rail. Turn the roadways into bike paths, put trainis in the mix and those that want cars, use the ZipCar or carsharing model. Low-cost rentals are another option. Raise taxes very high on autos that are not electric or other renewable energy. Not only can new jobs be created across the contry, but a whole different style of living. Greener earth as we drop all the carbon emmissons from vehicles, vehicle building, etc. This will of course never work totally, since you will have all the car manufacturerer, car insurance companies and the list of others who's lively hoods depend on the vehicle.
