POPSDying on American Airlines. No Oxygen!!! "Desir was put on the floor, and a nurse tried CPR, to no avail, Oliver said. A "box", possibly a defibrillator, also was applied but didn't function effectively, he said. "I cannot believe what is happening on the plane," he said, sobbing. "She cannot get up, and nothing on the plane works." Oliver said he then asked for the plane to "land right away so I can get her to a hospital," and the pilot agreed to divert to Miami, 45 minutes away. But during that time, Desir died, Oliver said. "Her last words were, 'I cannot breathe,"' he said. ...Guardian

POPS8 U.S. immigrant escapees DEAD: Virus free. Attempt to escape to China fails. Health scare scaled down. Birth place not certain. Over Taiwan is one possibility. Honolulu disown mice. Chicago claims a mouse could not get by its clapped-out body searcher or dog sniffer.

POPSCreative ways to recycle ordinary objects Recycling doesn’t have to be limited to helping the environment: it can also be a challenge and opportunity to ingenious designers who work with materials most people would consider waste to create amazing things. Some of the above designs serve multiple purposes: illustrating the material possibilities of what most would consider trash while also maximizing the aesthetic potential of what would otherwise be considered waste objects. Clothes become rugs, airline trolleys become furniture, cardboard becomes bridges and sewage turns into building blocks!
