POPSManaging Distraction more: "Surfing or multitasking may have even more of a place in 21st-century society as strategies of learning," says Jackson. "But going forward, we need to do much more than hopscotch across the web, split-focused and pulled this way and that by choice distractions. We cannot mistake fragmented, diffused attention as avenues of higher thought-or deeper relationships." "Instead, we need to do better at cultivating deep focus, keen awareness and meta-cognitive "executive" attention-the package of skills that is crucial to moving forward in a complex, high-tech age," says Jackson. "If we can 'green' the earth, we can clean up our noisy, interrupt-driven environment, and set the stage for a renaissance of attention for all."

POPSDaily Devotion: A Time For Life And Death This is a christian daily devotion article. As I was reading the Book of Ecclesiastes, it says that we will all be facing death. No riches and wisdom can extend our life because we areo nly born to live at a certain specific period of time. The question here is, “Are you ready to face death?” Where will you be headed after death?

POPSThe current world economic situation- stabilized with a paradigm shift
People are supportive of those in need, and are generous with their assistance and sharing. Criticism is replaced with understanding, love, and cooperation. Every light worker becomes a radiating point of light, hope, inspiration, and courage. People are awakening their light bodies everywhere. Humanity is in alignment with Divine Will. Humanity has enlightened leadership by all people in leadership positions. People know their oneness with each other and with the plant, animal, and mineral kingdoms. Isolation turns into community, aloneness into friendships, and separateness into inclusiveness. All people are free to follow and live their higher purpose. Humanity becomes aware of their higher purpose. People's personalities become vehicles to carry out their soul's love, light, and will. All people honor the earth and live in harmony with it and all life upon it. The plan of humanity works out in all its beauty and perfection.

POPSMoon Survives Unprovoked Attack! In defense of science. Still worry that we allow rubbish to litter the moon. To prove there is water. So, don't we have enough brands of bottled water already? Maybe so that astronauts can stop off and have a shower on their 10 thousand year journey to the nearest exoplanet which may support life.

POPSCrimespotting: the new way to make money on the Internet Tony Morgan, who set up the site, said: “This could turn out to be the best crime prevention weapon there’s ever been. I wanted to combine the serious business of stopping crime with the incentive of winning money. Users will be awarded one point for spotting a suspected crime and three if they see an actual crime. They can also lose points if the camera operator decides that the alert was not a crime.

POPSHumanity's Team "a civil rights movement for the soul," The New Spirituality is not a new religion, according to the movement. Rather, it is an expansion of all present human theologies; an updating of them; a refreshing of them, rendering all current sacred teachings even more relevant to the present day and time. Key to the New Spirituality is a belief that God is not separate from anything -- and neither are humans. more details at source

POPSBritish Patients Sue Over 33% Failure Rate for Operations Government health care is not moral Greg Knapp OpEd Contributor August 27, 2009 If you are against the government taking an even greater role in our health care system, you are immoral. At least that's what President Barack Obama is trying to tell us. During a teleconference with liberal religious leaders Obama said, "You know this debate over health care goes to the heart of who we are in America. ... It is a core ethical and moral obligation that we look after each other. In the wealthiest nation on earth, we are neglecting to live up to that call." The president went on to say, "We are God's partners in matters of life and death," and the people saying the plan will eventually lead to a single payer system and rationed care are "bearing false witness." It's a good thing George W. Bush never said something like that. Nancy Pelosi's head would have exploded.

POPSKennedy would have been urged to die earlier under Obama Care " t was President Obama himself who suggested that seniors who don't have as long to live might want to consider just taking a pain pill instead of getting an expensive operation to cure them," said Huckabee. "Yet when Sen. Kennedy was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at 77, did he give up on life and go home to take pain pills and die? Of course not. He freely did what most of us would do. He choose an expensive operation and painful follow up treatments. He saw his work as vitally important and so he fought for every minute he could stay on this earth doing it. He would be a very fortunate man if his heroic last few months were what future generations remember him most for."

POPSAppeal for a worldwide reading for Democracy and Freedom in Iran But the men of God had hardly seized power when they began liquidating a large section of the opposition, executing thousands of dissenters and destroying the indigenous culture in favour of so-called Islamisation, downgrading women as second-class citizens and subjecting art and literature to strict censorship. With the exception of brief uprisings by individuals or small groups, the population remained patient for a long time – for thirty years. But now the scandalous manipulation of the Presidential elections of June 12th has proved too much to bear.
