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.

POPSA Pitch For Music Can you believe that many schools still don't have a music program in spite of all the scientific evidence that shows it is necessary to our wholeness?

POPSHearing Subtraction!!! A wonderful interactive program demonstrating scientifically the relationship between music & math. An especially great site for educators looking for online activities for children. It also ties into the concepts understood in Numerology regarding vibration & number being tied to proportion.

POPSPublic Figures Who Believe In Numerology I figured this was meant to be clipmarked as it was published on my birthday & e-mailed to me from my Numerology Group. The article doesn't go into any real depth but I figured it was still noteworthy. If you have any interesting observations regarding numbers please share them with me. Thanks.

POPSGlobal Consciouness & Data Driven Music This site deals with tracking global consciouness using the data gathered from little black boxes(REGs) in different places all over the earth. They taken data & had it generate music. Some pretty cool ways of perceiving consciousness. It looks as a race we're learning how to sing.

POPSMusic Instruction Increases Math & Reading Scores Another case for the need to put music & its concepts at the core of education. Music, math & I'll be so bold to assert numerology are languages inextricably connected to one another. Here's a quote by one mathematician regarding this statement, "Music is a secret arithmetical exercise and the person that indulges in it does not realize that he is manipulating numbers."- G Leibnitz

POPSNo Concept of Numbers & Counting Linked to Thought I couldn't help but wonder if this separatist type of thinking affects mathematical intelligence(Maybe others such as music) to some degree. For ex-Is there or has there been any research to show that when one views them self as better, less than or the same as a change in their mathematical intelligence occurs. Or how about religious groups, nations, etc. Anyway some food for thought & would like some feedback. Thanks.

POPSResearcher Links Storytelling, Math Ability This study suggests that building strong storytelling skills early in the preschool years may be helpful in preparing children for learning mathematics when they enter school. ''It is also a nice finding, I think, because storytelling is something every parent can easily do and foster with their children, without the need to buy any fancy toys or materials,'' said O'Neill. Given these findings, O'Neill is continuing in further studies, also funded by Science and Engineering Research Canada, to explore more precisely what aspects of storytelling are linked to aspects of mathematical ability.

POPSSource Code For How The Universe Functions Found Thanks to one of pokkets clips I spent a good part of my day reading this very easy to understand view of our universe which makes it easier to grasp the concepts of quantum theory & special relativity. Go to the site with a cup of coffee & expect to learn a lot about how this information applied can help turn around the direction we've been headed as humanity.

POPSNumerology For Accountants I'm a numerologist & was blown away when a search on "numerology" brought up this title & found there was a law, "Benford's Law" that outlines a pattern of the distribution of numbers. Numerology is a study in the science of vibration, patterns & proportion. It looks at numbers/letters not just as things but symbols/icons that represent qualities/attributes. Numerology has been looked upon as a psuedoscience & I believe this is just the beginning of how this science can be applied to our lives & help to make this world a better place. I'm dedicated to revealing more about this wonderful science as I have the time. If you find articles/subjects along these lines please e-mail me. Thanks!

POPSSculptures By Orhogonal Intersection Just one of many beautiful works by what I believe a brilliant and original artist. I just loved seeing how he creates these unique sculptures from what are essentially simple techniques & not excepting the thought that sculpture is made by adding or removing Guido came up with a new method, separation. Numerology recognizes nothing comes into existence without three & Mr. Moretti has discovered/revealed this to us in his art.

POPSCleaner Code Good video re:geometry & code & understanding the meaning of the unit of one as it is illustrated with a circle & square. Opposites creating something new, a triangle which changes proportionately with the increase/decrease of the one square & circle. In summary 1 square + 1 circle=1 triangle that is a product of the two.

POPSMusical Mystery Tour-The Video If you're open to new ways of viewing numbers or understanding some of the oddities surrounding them you'll enjoy this clip. This to me is a demonstration of how a number of the ancients viewed their world. It was a material world governed by invisible forces(vibration). The book "The Secret Science of Numerology-The Hidden Meaning of Numbers & Letters" by Shirley Blackwell Lawrence is an excellent book for getting a deeper understanding of this wonderful science.

POPSGraphical Multipication Besides a different way to do multiplication it's an absolutely wonderful way to understand some of the concepts of numerology especially the principal of polarity & how vibration/frequency manifests itself.

POPSMath Behind Ancient Islamic Tile Patterns Decoded When Peter J. Lu traveled to Uzbekistan, he had no idea of the mathematical journey that he was about to embark on as well. See the full research article as published in Science . It's a wonderful example of original, multidisciplinary academic research bridging history and mathematics that happens to force us to re-think the sophistication of ancient geometrical knowledge. When Lu looked at photographs of Islamic buildings, he found that he could break the patterns on their surfaces up into the same shapes, even though the shapes often weren't immediately visible. "I couldn't sleep for days," he said. "I skipped Christmas break to work on it."

POPSThe Exanding Mathematical Universe of Spidrons A field of triangles crumples and twists into a wavy crystalline sea. A crystal ball sprouts spiraling, labyrinthine passages. Faceted bricks stack snugly into a tidy, compact structure. Underlying each of these objects is a remarkable geometric shape made up of a sequence of triangles—a spiral polygon that resembles a seahorse's tail. The result is beautiful to behold.

POPSThe Number Spiral It looks as though primes tend to concentrate in certain curves that swoop away to the northwest and southwest, like the curve marked by the blue arrow. (The numbers on that curve are of the form x ( x +1) + 41, the famous prime-generating formula discovered by Euler in 1774.) Some clips from a wonderfully-done exploration of this curious mathematical construct (also known as the Ulam Spiral ). To date, it is not fully understood exactly why more primes tend to fall along certain "curves" in the spiral than others, but the elusive quest for a simple prime-generating formula keeps the deceptively-simple spiral intriguing to number theorists.
