POPSElectro-Magnetic Skyscrapers
In this futuristic scenario controlled Electro Magnetic force (E.M.) will be a key element in the building industry. This controlled E.M. force will free humanity from the need to waste our planet resources by making the E.M. technology the ultimate sustainable method. E.M. Structures will be able to support each other simply by pure physical magnetism that can also direct electricity. By using magnetic fields as a construction material there can be Infinite vertical and horizontal expansions due to the final liberation from gravity. Tokyo was chosen to set the first example for the rest of the world in building a series of Electro-Magnetic Skyscrapers and these buildings will be able to migrate like birds. Self sufficient energy cubes will provide the basic needs to the community. By using built-in energy resources in every E.M. Cube (such as photovoltaic cells on the sides of the cube, Wind turbines, air shafts forcing wind into energy, water conservation tanks etc.)

POPSScientists determine strength of 'liquid smoke' with 3D images Section and isosurface rendering of a 500 nm cube from the interior of the 3D volume. The foam structure shows globular nodes that are interconnected by thin beam-like struts. Approximately 85% of the total mass is associated with the nodes, and there is no evidence of a significant fraction of dangling fragments.

POPSAmazing home remedies 8. Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape. 9. Remember: Everyone seems normal until you get to know them. 10. Never pass up an opportunity to go to the bathroom. 11. If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You get another chance. 12. And finally, be really nice to your family and friends; you never know when you might need them to empty your bedpan.

POPSOrigins of the metric system A strong movement toward the use of the metric system in the U.S. during the 1970-1980 period lost momentum. Currently the U.S. is using dual measurements, where there is mixed use of the metric and inch-pound systems. A number of large industries and some smaller ones have converted to SI use. But, mainly due to lack of a mandate from U.S. voters, Congress has not pushed for a law making the metric system the sole measurement system in the U.S. However, as metric is the sole measurement language of most of the world, foreign customers buying U.S. products are gradually requiring that they be delivered labeled and produced in metric units; therefore, eventually, the chances are that the U.S. will become a metric nation. The map in the clip is from 1971.

POPSIs Sun Tea Safe? Try Refrigerator Tea (recipe) Questions about the safety of drinking sun tea make the substitution of refrigerator tea a good idea. I always brew my tea with boiling water, but have drank sun tea on occasion, despite my biology background causing me to balk a bit. Now I'll be even more diligent with handling tea bags and brewed tea. Here is a recipe for refrigerator tea from frugalliving.com : REFRIGERATOR TEA INGREDIENTS: * 6-8 tea bags (use more or less according to taste) * 2 quarts water PREPARATION: 1. Fill a two-quart pitcher with cold water. 2. Add in your tea bags. 3. Steep in the refrigerator overnight. 4. Sweeten with sugar (if desired), and serve. Serving ideas: * Garnish with slices of citrus fruit, berries, fresh mint or edible flowers * Flavor with fruit juice for a more exotic taste * Fill an ice cube tray with tea, and freeze to create ice cubes that won't water down your drink.
