POPSPokerStars Interesting read. I like the diversity of the Texas holdem poker products and cracked is fascinating. I have often noticed many patterns of my own and I wonder if this works and if there really is a way to track it. I am a proitable poker player and have noticed many quirks when it comes to online poker. This is especailly true with unexplaianble suckouts and dingos hitting trips with their j3 offsuit garbage rag hands calling an all in bet. Nonetheless, poker is poker and that's the way it works. This site is a good resource for poker bonus codes and other software, systems , and strategy guides.

POPSSeeing in four dimensions The videos are all available free at www.dimensions-math.org. The videos go on to show how we can visualize imaginary numbers geometrically, how fractal patterns emerge in the Mandelbrot set and Julia sets, and how beautiful and complex shapes can be built up from circles.

POPSBBC program Links Temporal lobe to Spituality
Now. I find this stuff fascinatin'! Well worth looking at the BBC videos! I'm not so sure about the text from LJ--kind of a dilletante, that one... Bein' an old Hippie who did a lot of psychedelic drugs (a long time ago--and I'm alive and well 'cuz I avoided Coke and other dumbass drugs) ...so the value of my "spiritual" experiences may be directly correlated with the types of "divine" chemicals i took like psylocibin, peyote, LSD and the good herb Pakalolo---or as the guy says in the last video--it may be God's way of giving us an antenna towards the Divine and doesn't make the experience any less real or important. Developing a Spiritual consciousness rather than the mundane, everyday patterns of thought is quite important, neh? I find that I can get some of the same results by meditating (if I do it with regularity and depth, losing the "I")...of course it's not as much fun without the colors and stuff but just as meaningful, if not more. But then I didn't use drugs as recreation b

POPSRobots Detect Behavioral Cues to Follow Humans
“As humans, we constantly incorporate other peoples' current actions as clues (cues) as to what they may do in the future,” Sanjay Joshi of the University of California, Davis, told PhysOrg.com. “For instance, we have a ‘sixth sense’ on the highway to know that a certain car will swerve into our lane soon, based on the driver's current driving patterns. Then, we may become more defensive in our own driving. In our work, we wanted to begin the process of allowing robots to use behavioral cues (of humans or other robots), to make the robot's mission more reliable and accurate. In social work environments populated by numerous people and robots, these types of cues should be abundant.” The researchers explained that behavioral cues that robots might use could include any action or signal that the leader exhibits that hints at a future action. These might be intended behaviors, such as pointing or waving. Other cues might be unconscious, such as behaviors that indicate stress or sadness,

POPSWhere to find truth? There is a tension and conflict between the sellside and buyside, even the market is good. Except for relying on open market, can we do anything to correct any mis-information? Sometimes it is way too late to have the market to adjust it. Look at the current financial world! We are suffering from the damages caused by activities which were deemed good.

POPSExuberance of light - amazing "These are refraction patterns or 'caustics' formed by a light beam passing through a shaped and textured plastic form. The pattern is captured directly on to 35mm film by removing the camera lens and putting the transparent object in its place. The processed film is digitally scanned for uploading. Please note these are not computer generated images but a true analogue of the way light is refracted by the objects I create" Reciprocity's amazing photostream.

POPSMinding Mistakes: How the Brain Monitors Errors and Learns from Goofs Where in the brain does the ERN originate? Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, among other imaging methods, researchers have repeatedly found that error recognition takes place in the medial frontal cortex, a region on the surface of the brain in the middle of the frontal lobe, including the anterior cingulate. Such studies implicate this brain region as a monitor of negative feedback, action errors and decision uncertainty—and thus as an overall supervisor of human performance.

POPSWhere are we heading? And then we see how the poor get poorer and the rich richer. some of it is because of different priorities and beliefs. I for once do not understand why to bring more when you have less.
