POPSAustralia gets access to underwater bounty There seem to be the implication that we can 'own' an environment. While there is constant talk of conservation, it never seems to get in the way of a good profit. The world is a boat. and we are just passengers, not owners. We should feel obliged to leave it in a fit state for travelers on the next leg of the journey. I suppose it was a choice between oil rigs, and bottom trawlers. The black smoker' is the spout from a seabed hydrothermal vent. At the sea floor, due to the pressure, water is still liquid at 400deg C, and is as acidic as vinegar.

POPSSaved by the Demolition Man The Victorian Society (set up in 1958 by John Betjeman and Nikolaus Pevsner) is celebrating 50 years of trying to save the UK's 19thC buildings. We love Victorian architecture now, but once their public buildings were being listed for demolition. The following pictures show 10 examples of some wonderful architecture from the 19thC and early 20thC, saved for the enjoyment of future generations.

POPSBe My Olde Valentine
The full text of the manuscript: "Unto my right well-beloved Valentine John Paston, squire, be this bill delivered. "Right reverent and worshipful and my right well-beloved valentine, I recommend me unto you full heartedly, desiring to hear of your welfare, which I beseech Almighty God long for to preserve unto his pleasure and your hearts desire." "And if it pleases you to hear of my welfare, I am not in good health of body nor of heart, nor shall I be till I hear from you. "For there knows no creature what pain that I endure, And even on the pain of death I would reveal no more. "And my lady my mother hath laboured the matter to my father full diligently, but she can no more get than you already know of, for which God knoweth I am full sorry. "But if you love me, as I trust verily that you do, you will not leave me therefore. "For even if you had not half the livelihood that you have, for to do the greatest labour that any woman alive might, I would not forsake you.
