POPSIllusion of time Our brain crates the perception of time from a succession of neuron firings, with a frequency that depends on the group of neurons considered. However, in stressful situations, more neurons fire and time seems to slow down. Now the purpose is to get the most attention from our brains, more neuron firings and a slower time perception, without burning our brains out.

POPSMath And Protocol (Or rules, points and yardage) Only one problem. There still isn’t any actual plan, and it still needs to get through Congress. Does this give him the momentum he never really had? Sure, for about 15 minutes after last night’s speech. But you know what they say. It ain’t over till it’s over. They might even pass something remotely resembling whatever it is he’s been trying to put over.

POPSPrimary school pupils were forced to listen to Elton John... Oh-my-gosh! Coming to a school near you. Why can't schools just teach reading, writing, and arithmetic? Why in the world would children be forced to endure the propaganda from one such as Elton John?? "tackling the issue in a sensitive way"? These babies couldn't care less!!! Can they not just be children? and not be *educated* and indoctrinated/introduced! to a life-style that is hurtful? "Bullying"...that's just a ruse and we all know it. Bullying has been around since time immoral and it hasn't always been about certain people; it's about power, dominance, and control. This makes me sick and want to shelter my little ones even more. They are too young to deal with these issues while many thrust it upon them.

POPSTwitter and Social Media to be Taught in Schools If kids need to learn about history, they can just Google it! All kidding aside, really the debate going in UK schools is that kids will not learn to appreciate the Art of Reading for what it is... One of the comments made an excellent point: Why teach Twitter & SM to kids when they already know how to work the Internet better than we do! Well, if they alter the curriculum, it will be the biggest change the school system has seen in over a decade. I say Twit lil Tweeters!
