POPSMysterious people who appeared in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, UK, in the 12th century. The children were brother and sister and they had green colored skin. Their appearance was normal in all other areas. They spoke an unrecognized language and refused to eat anything other than pitch from bean pods. Eventually their skin lost its green color. When they learned English they explained that they were from the ‘Land of St Martin’ which was a dark place because the sun never rose far above the horizon. They claimed that they were tending their father’s herd and followed a river of light when they heard the sounds of bells - finding themselves in Woolpit.Some of the more unusual theories proposed for the origin of the children are that they were Hollow Earth children, parallel dimension children, or Extraterrestrial children.

POPSConsolations in a Dark Age
"But then there's the web. For 99 cents you can get a world-class performance of Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus. Or the Mormon Tabernacle Choir singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Or a Shakespeare Sonnet beautifully recited by a great actor. Or Jan Peerce singing the Jewish cantorial liturgy. On YouTube you don't even need 99 pennies. You can get Borodin's elegiac String Quartet No. 2, the slow movement. Or Beethoven's 9th, the famous Choral Movement, performed by the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. The Sistine Chapel on Wikipedia; and with a few more finger strokes we can find out what the French Renaissance composer Josquin learned in the Sistine Chapel in 1494. Who says Western Civ is dead? This is absolutely unprecedented. Today more of us can more easily access the best of 20 centuries of Western Civilization -- the real thing, not the college course -- than ever before. And people are doing it all over the world -- as well as the usual dreck that passes for pop music thes

POPSEvolution of Human Consciousness, With Words, Music and Brain Imagery Self Comes To Mind is a collaboration between composer Bruce Adolphe and neuroscientist Antonio Damasio, known for his research and writing on the evolution of human consciousness. "My view is that we evolved mind first, in a very broad sense," Damasio explains. "And eventually we also evolved the possibility of knowing that we have a mind. That is a process that begins with the construction of the self … and it is out of that which comes our sense of discovery — of our own existence, of our surroundings, and eventually of our own condition."

POPSIrish student hoaxes world's media with fake quote This article caught my eye... Now I know many people are duped with fake quotes and misinformation... You only have to watch FOX FAKE NEWS source and listen to those who believe this media to be reliable, to find that out. But when something make-believe is reported by major world news outlets as true without investigation as to the reliability of it... Only one thought comes to mind George Orwell’s 1984... I wish George was still alive to see his fictional story become a world reality. :eek:

POPSRAVEL "Hidden clue to composer's passion: BBC" Many horny older gents may remember that Bolero was used in the movie 10 to great acclaim; the character played by Bo Derek kept restarting the music on a phonograph, while trying to seduce the character played by Dudley Moore. Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar used Boléro for a long sequence of the 1988 film "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown". Italian animator Bruno Bozzetto used the greater part of Boléro for a sequence in his Fantasia-like 1977 film Allegro non troppo. The music is also used, to great effect, in the circus-ring climax to the 1995 movie, Funny Bones. Enjoy!

POPSAnaïs Nin From being a cult figure of the early feminist movement, Anais later rose to international prominence with her writing. She is best known for her diaries but also produced a number of novels and a prose poem in surrealistic style as well as wonderful erotic short stories, published posthumously. Characterized by the use of powerful and, at times, disquieting imagery, her work reveals great sensitivity and perception. In 1973 she received an honorary doctorate from Philadelphia College of Art. She was elected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1974.<<
