POPSShow Me Your Papers - Nazi Germany in America
Building more jails and prisons, was always an acceptable practice. After all, how can “they” protect “their” citizens from evil criminals? That’s what we were led to believe. Today, prisons are being built strictly for profit, right under our noses, without our knowledge. Each person’s body they imprison will give the state or county an extra amount of money, so of course the objective is to fill these jails to capacity or overcapacity. Isn’t this a nice legal way to obtain revenue even though it smells of Nazi style fascism? It reminds me of the uproar the “Reagan era system”, created by claiming, poor women have babies just to get an increase in their monthly welfare checks. What a stigma that was on mothers living in poverty, standing in line at the bank to cash their monthly living allotment. The shame the government, OUR GOVERNMENT heaped upon such families, simply because they asked for a helping hand from a coldhearted system. (more below) or http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com

POPSvideo gallery-words of wisdom Gurumaa, introduces us to the real meaning of "The Master", what he really is and why do we need to have a guiding light (The Master) when we are surrounded by uncountable piles of dead papers that are written down for us to understand the real meaning of the supernatural. Gurumaa explains that The Master is like a gate, a gate to see our inner space. He is like a window through which we have the first glimpse of the expansive sky.

POPSChamber of Commerce Shills for Telco's In a effort to combat Barrack Obama's explicit (http://obama.senate.gov/podcast/060608-network_neutral/) support for network neutrality laws the Chamber of Commerce has come out with a study that makes the claim that the Internet has been able to grow because of a lack of network neutrality laws. I am looking forward to reading the study.

POPSSad but Inevitable I love the tactile aspect of reading. Hopefully that will remain in some form. My presbyopia will demand it sooner rather than later.

POPSSo Unfortunate This was one of my favorite series. The criminals were nearly always arrogant and narcissistic and it was so satisfying to see them error in assessing Columbo's talents.

POPSScientific Network | ResearchGATE
The other day I was surfing YouTube and stumbled upon this video: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=E-CIyenkZ8A Apparently it’s about a social network for scientists called Researchgate. It sounded pretty interesting so I checked out the website. Overall, it’s really interesting and there seem to be a lot of researchers discussing different issues in different groups (somewhat like facebook, just serious). I guess there is a lot of potential for collaboration between the researchers on the platform. This aside, I also found that they have a great search engine, which I really like. I think they call it ReFind and it’s results include other users, groups and papers relevant to what you’re looking for. You could also paste an entire abstract, haven’t tried that yet though. Might be interesting since the search engine has 30 million publications listed, so chances are high you’d find papers relevant to your work. Anyway, I think the site is really good, have a look for yourself. The addr
