POPSFour-hundred-year-old Shakespeare book recovered The university hoped to recover the other stolen works, which include a 15th-century manuscript containing a fragment of a poem written by Geoffrey Chaucer, author of "The Canterbury Tales''; an edition of "Beowulf'' printed in 1812; and a book of maps and poetry dating from 1612.

POPSRiesenhamsterratte Rosie, Landminensucherin Rosie schafft es, in einer halben Stunde hundert Quadratmeter nach Minen abzusuchen. Menschen brauchten dafür mehrere Tage. Die große Frage ist nun: Was passiert, wenn Rosie direkt auf einer Mine sitzt und mit ihren Vorderpfoten herumkratzt? Gar nichts! Riesenhamsterratten sind zwar, wie der Name schon sagt, ziemlich groß. Sie werden 40 Zentimeter lang und wiegen bis zu 1,5 Kilogramm. Aber sie sind zu leicht, um eine Mine auszulösen. See also my clip HeroRATS (in English language).

POPSEnglish language in the future In China, this sort of free-form adoption of English is helped along by a shortage of native English-speaking teachers, who are hard to keep happy in rural areas for long stretches of time. An estimated 300 million Chinese — roughly equivalent to the total US population — read and write English but don't get enough quality spoken practice. The likely consequence of all this? In the future, more and more spoken English will sound increasingly like Chinese.

POPSBBC's First Warped Headline Before It Gets Changed Our Special One Year Analysis of the BBC demonstrated how its headline selection for stories focused on combat and terrorist attacks was inconsistent and favored the Palestinian side. Stories about Palestinian attacks never directly named the aggressors, headlines such as "Rocket injures dozens in Israel" were used. Indeed, even the latest BBC headline "Bulldozer rampage hits Jerusalem", is also fundamentally flawed, failing to attribute the attack to the Palestinian individual who carried it out. It was not the city of Jerusalem, the subject of the headline, that was murdered, but at least three innocent Israelis. For accurate coverage and the latest developments from Jerusalem on this breaking story, see English-language Israeli sources such as The Jerusalem Post, Ha'aretz and YNet News. You can also read the thoughts of HonestReporting's Backspin blog editor who happened to be in downtown Jerusalem at the time of the terror atttack.

POPSPolitics and the English Language - G. Orwell "In our time it is broadly true that political writing is bad writing. Where it is not true, it will generally be found that the writer is some kind of rebel, expressing his private opinions and not a "party line." Orthodoxy, of whatever color, seems to demand a lifeless, imitative style. The political dialects to be found in pamphlets, leading articles, manifestoes, White papers and the speeches of undersecretaries do, of course, vary from party to party, but they are all alike in that one almost never finds in them a fresh, vivid, homemade turn of speech." George Orwell
