POPSHelp your child learn with mistakes No one wants their child to fail. You love seeing a perfect spelling or math grade at the end of the day. This article demonstrates that the best way to achieve that is to have kids make mistakes in their learning. This allows for them to have greater recall and understand the steps to solving problems. The worst thing you can do, possibly, is to "google" everything! Share your experiences with this by clicking the comment link below. Become part of our online support groups.

POPSMeta Brain Growth Process I came across this site looking for material on nootropics. I have read many sites that contain SOME good information, but also a lot of New Age theories, which weren't of interest to me. This looks like a great resource.

POPSFinally ! Where we came from revieled !
Unimpressive.” The chemist then commented: “All quite similar, derived from different sequences of four chemical ingredients.” Next the computational expert opined: “Limited computing abilities. But one, the hairless biped, is unlike the others. It exchanges information in a manner that is primitive and inefficient but remarkably different from the others. It creates many odd objects, including ones that are consumable, others that produce symbols, and yet others that destroy members of its tribe.” “But how can this be?” the engineer mused. “Given the similarity in form and chemistry, how can their computing capacity differ?” “I am not certain,” confessed the computational alien. “But they appear to have a system for creating new expressions that is infinitely more powerful than those of all the other living kinds. I propose that we place the hairless biped in a different group from the other animals, with a separate origin, and from a different galaxy.” The other two aliens nodded,

POPSWhat's Behind Birthers' Obama Belief "Research done by Harvard's Mahzarin Banaji and San Diego State's Thierry Devos into what's called "implicit social cognition" reveals that white Americans inherently regard white Europeans as somehow more "American" than Asian- or African-Americans, which may help explain why so many people find it easy to believe that President Obama is not really a citizen."

POPSWhy do we hate Good-byes? I see you seeing me and I exist. I see you seeing me see you and we exist. Mutual re-cognition is the glue that holds us together, not merely as friends, but as individual selves. Good-byes are poignant preludes to the leave-takings and withdrawals that deprive our psyches of the sustenance they need to maintain our selfhood. As such, every good-bye is a premonition of disintegration, a foretaste of death, another step on the path to "adieu." Have you noticed that old folks tell the same stories over and over? They are desperately trying to shore up identities that, because of a paucity of recognition, are breaking down. By telling us their stories, they are staving off the disintegration of self, one day at a time. You can't really blame them--their struggle is at once heroic and tragic.One day, you too may need a comprehending ear to offset the recognition deficiencies that plague old-age... <<

POPSUSAF Seeking "Core Algorithms" of Human Thought "I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you."

POPSEvidence of Modern Smarts in Stone Age Superglue A product popular with all groups (look at the "war wounds" from that last fight with a crappy tube of superglue). Australian Aborigines use resin from spinifex bushes. They have been here for up to 80000 years, so would have used it for a fair bit of that time.
