POPSNew Wave Disk Generator Auto Engine The Wave Disk Generator uses 60 percent of its fuel for propulsion; standard car engines use just 15 percent. As a result, the generator is 3.5 times more fuel efficient than typical combustion engines. I had no idea a car engine was this energy inefficient. I hope we see this new engine real soon.

POPSWhat kids see You remember when you were a kid and it was time to go to the doctor or the dentist? You felt like you were going to be executed or something horrible would happen to you, right? Well, at least I felt like that and I know a lot of other kids also did.

POPSFrozen Butterbeer Butterbeer, for those who don’t know, is a favorite drink of witches and wizards. While there’s enough alcohol in it to make a house elf drunk, there’s not enough to do the same to humans. The butterbeer at Wizarding World was not made with alcohol, for obvious reasons. Also, it was taste-tested by J.K. Rowling herself. Pretty cool, right? This butterbeer tastes very much like a cream soda, with notes of butterscotch in the background. Like the kind at Wizarding World, it has a slightly slushy texture. However, the really fun part about it is the foamy topping. The frozen butterbeer at Wizarding World comes from a tap, with a separate tap dispensing the foamy topping. Having a butterbeer mustache is something to be proud of, so skip the straws when drinking this drink. ;)

POPSTaking action against trafficking of children It just seems to make good sense that the more people in the travel industry that can be trained to spot the warning signs of children being exploited will aid in the fight against child sexual exploitation and the potential for those kids to become human trafficking victims. And now, after intense engagement with management on company human rights policies, Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR) members and friends were heartened by a Delta Airways' announcement last week that Delta had signed The Code of Conduct for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation in Travel and Tourism (The Code).

POPSReady for some rockin Classical , , , on a ukulele! Seriously, Twenty two-year-old musician, Taimane, puts an amazing new spin on J.S. Bach's "Toccata". You'll recognize the classical tune at the beginning, but by the end of the video the young musician throws in enough twists to make the song her own. Things really kick into gear at about 2:25 into the video. Truly amazing!
