Most notably, Kevlar is found in body armor and bulletproof vests used by police and the military. One could argue that the level of something’s ruggedness is … [Read more...]

Now I regale tales of this bygone era to my nephews who ask about VCRs, cassette tapes and land lines, oh my! We’ve quickly moved from scheduled broadcasts on the television to live streaming news, shows and movies … [Read more...]
