POPSBelief Affects Our Genes Reality is alive, dynamic and interconnected. Science has been saying so for nearly a century, and we experience it every time we walk on a beach or look into another's eyes. Yet most of our cultural, societal, political and economic structures act as if it's not so. We can no longer afford to indulge outdated worldviews. In order to deal with the crises we now face, we've got to act on the new realities and understandings revealed by science.

POPSVolunteers-Eyes & Ears for National Weather Service As I volunteer a lot in our community I appreciate seeing articles like this in the media & I believe this kind of service will be the cornerstone of a new order of living. John Lennon said, "Imagine all the people sharing all the world...you may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one"

POPSOpen Money-The Next Global Currency I'm all in favor. No more federal reserve/world banks. I like the point made that it's open source. We don't need money, what we need to do is the right thing like the rest of the creation around us.

POPSEl Sistema: Changing Lives Through Music This is something I really believe in & have been working hard at the last few years in the area where I live. I think its absolutely tragic that millions of kids in our country have no musical education or training.

POPSEvery City Should Provide This Service I'm involved in trying to try to do this in our city of Clearlake, CA along with mapping other things such as code violations. It's nice that there are tools that are empowering citizens.

POPSFolding paper in half twelve times People thought that paper could not be folded in half more than 8 times. They just weren't thinking about it the right way. (There is bound to be text on the page, but my plugins are playing up, so I couldn't see where it was. I thought the picture said enough.)

POPSMusic for the Brain Some people say that art and music are an impractical luxury for schools, given the hyper competitive demands of "globalization" that require a strong background in science and math. Laying aside the wrong-headed workforce-training assumptions behind such an instrumentalist educational philosophy, another way of looking at it is: given the "new economic" reality -- where workers won't have long-term jobs or careers but multiple jobs and careers -- the advantage goes to those with nimble minds and creative intelligence; not the proficient test-takers our education factories are producing. Improving the achievement gap? Raising test scores? Preventing kids from dropping out? We need more music education, not less. The math is simple.
