Career Area of the Week:
How about a FLIGHT ATTENDANT? FLIGHT ATTENDANTS make sure that safety regulations are abided by and try to make flights as comfortable as possible for passengers. They make sure that first aid kits and other emergency equipment are abroad and in working order. They make sure they have food, pillows and blankets.

Braindrop for the day
Swiss inventor George de Mestral came up with the idea for Velcro in the early 1940s. After returning from a walk with his dog, he noticed that the dog's coat and his pants were covered with cockleburrs. de Mestral studied the burrs under a microscope and discovered their natural hook-like shape. They became the basis for the two-sided fastener, named for the French words "velour" and "crochet."
