POPSThe Seasoned Flag cont': There underneath the broken toys, the seasoned flag did lay. A curious man stopped by, before the trash machine arrived, What is that under the toys? Can this flag be revived? Attached to the cord from Old Glory’s top, an eagle caught his eye, The bird and the flag permanently attached, as friends they would survive. The man looked them over with a tear in his eye, How could anyone toss out such a symbol of life? “A new home awaits you,” Old Glory was told, As the man shook off dirt and did carefully fold. Once home, the flag safe, the man told his wife, Of the story of finding this symbol of life. They cried as they thought of how proudly it waved, At the home of another and what joy that it gave. They found the right place to display this seasoned one, Now Old Glory stands tall, gently waving in the sun.

POPS3 Next-Gen Animal Prosthetics Build Perfect Beasts Humans aren't the only ones who benefit from artificial (and often robotic) advances in high-tech medicine. Kangaroos, dolphins, birds and even elephants have all received artificial parts. Scientists involved in these efforts believe outfitting disabled animals with prosthetics can maintain biodiversity and help save endangered species. Here are the tales of three lucky patients from the other kingdom.

POPSThe symbolic blunder - symbolic in many ways How timely. I recently clipped some things about FDR's NRA. Apparently, I am not the only one that notices the blatant attempt to inspire a reactionary movement to the 1930's fascism. More from article: "The NRA attempted to "organize" the U.S. economy from the largest corporations to the smallest Mom n' Pop store. Businesses were encouraged to sign up with the proviso that they would be able to write their own rules for their industries, effectively turning them into cartels. Member businesses were allowed to place the Blue Eagle in their windows, along with the slogan "We Do Our Part". "

POPSDifficult Situation, But I Agree With American Airlines
I definitely feel for the mother in this situation. Having an autistic child is definitely challenging. And it's not her or the child's fault necessarily that a "fit" can occur. However, I believe AA did the right thing in this case. If a child - whether they have autism or not - can not be controlled and follow the rules on a plane, even if they have a disability that is causing it, they should not be allowed on the plane. Rules are there for a reason. It's the same when parents bring small infants on a plane and the infant literally cries and goes into a fit the entire flight. While I feel for the parents in that situation, there are several hundred other people on the plane that their child is impacting. It's selfish to tell everyone else they just need to deal with it because it's a child or the person has a disability. If an individual can't follow the rules and keep the environment comfortable for everyone on the plane, they should plan alternate transportation.

POPS How The Stealth F/A-22 Raptor Works
The F/A-22 is the world's first stealth air-to-air fighter, designed to be unseen at long range and deadly in close-in air combat. It can also strike ground targets with precision accuracy. maneuverability in the air. Radar works by sending radio waves out from an antenna and collecting the waves that bounce back from any objects. On a radar screen in an aircraft or in a ground-based radar station, an airplane appears as a blip. The larger the aircraft, the larger the blip appears on the screen. Aircraft designers have worked for years to minimize the radar signature of an aircraft. If the radio waves are deflected or absorbed so they don't return to the radar antenna, then the airplane is invisible or could be mistaken for a flock of birds or other non-threatening object. Aircraft designers use a jumble of curved surfaces and other design tricks to deflect radar waves in unexpected patterns. Planes are painted with thick paint that can absorb radar waves instead of reflect th
