POPSSelf Proclaimed Multitaskers Aren't that Good at Multitasking
Anyone who claims they can multitask is LYING. The human brain cannot multitask, PERIOD. You might think you're multitasking, but you are really switching between tasks in your brain. Every time you switch tasks, your brain has to reload the context of what it was last doing on that task. This is not a big deal for small tasks, as the state information is not that much. But the bigger (conceptually) a task is, the longer it takes to reload all the state information into your brain, and the bigger the efficiency hit against you is. If you find that you can do things no problem by switching tasks, it most likely means that what you're doing is not that mentally demanding, or you are not being effective in what you're doing. A perfect example is if you are surfing the web, watching TV, and twittering at the same time. You might be able to do all 3 of those tasks at once, but no one can argue that any of those things requires more than a sliver of brainpower.

POPSOnion Jokes About "Bipolar" <<<Some people will say that I just don’t have a sense of humor. I do, but not when the joke is at someone else’s expense. The media keeps undermining the efforts of many of us and there is no way that we can effectively reduce the stigma associated with bipolar disorder, or any mental illness, when the media keeps using the term to ridicule others >>> (from source). Perhaps all illnesses can be sources of humour, by the sufferers and others. Often it is 'innocent' enough. Nevertheless, I do feel the general point made above is worth thinking about.

POPSMSG: the secret behind the savor More: I made two versions of pad kee mao, with and without Maggi, and while both were good, the one with MSG had the kind of round flavor I’d normally associate with homemade chicken stock or some form of professional expertise. Tasted straight, though, the sauces had the chemical, tangy aftertaste common to many processed foods. “Too much MSG and you get that harsh, acrid taste,” said Mr. Pelaccio, who uses an empty barrel of Ajinomoto-brand MSG he found on the street as a plant stand in his Chinatown apartment. “But get it just right and that dish will sing.”… The role of MSG in food, and its effects on health, remain controversial…MSG is blamed by some groups for a range of serious neurological and physiological disorders…But no large-scale clinical research has been done since the F.D.A.’s 1995 review.

POPSReally Want to Help Afghans? Help the Women! It is good that there is a call for taking rape more seriously but tougher laws are seldom successful unless authorities are willing to enforce them.

POPSLandmark Ruling "One change the ruling could bring soon,activists said, is in dealings with corrupt police officers, who reportedly sometimes extort money by threatening to apply the law or "out" gays and lesbians to friends or family. Akash Verma, 26, a Delhi resident, said he was returning home late one night in 2004 when two intoxicated policemen who suspected he was gay stole about $20 from his bag and demanded sex, but released him. Verma said other officers later "strongly advised" against filing a complaint. Although Verma's account could not be independently verified, gay rights activists said such behavior by police is not uncommon."

POPSThe Wellsian Idea "He followed up with numerous other works promoting his ideas including a book published in 1940 entitled The New World Order where he states that global socialism is inevitable and that there would be a tumultuous transition period as it approached; quote: “… when the struggle seems to be drifting definitely towards a world social democracy, there may still be very great delays and disappointments before it becomes an efficient and beneficent world system. Countless people … will hate the new world order … and will die protesting against it. When we attempt to evaluate its promise, we have to bear in mind the distress of a generation or so of malcontents, many of them quite gallant and graceful-looking people.” " H. G.

POPSDon't Blame Pot -- There's No Such Thing as a "Gateway Drug" If marijuana is a "gateway drug" then why has heroin use in Amsterdam only increased slightly in the past 20 years since it was decriminalised two decades ago? By contrast heroin use in the US has risen more than 1,000% over the same period. Is it because unlike the USA, people ion the Netherlands who want to smoke pot can go to a coffee shop to buy their drugs, instead of being forced to buy from criminals who also sell other drugs? Maybe US authorities could learn something from their European neighbours?

POPSAfter Wars, Mass Rapes Persist
Of the 275 new sexual violence cases treated between January and April by Doctors Without Borders in Liberia, 28 percent involve children aged 4 or younger, and 33 percent involve children aged 5 through 12. “The rape of little children is common,” said Oretha Brooks, a social worker at the excellent Duport Road Clinic in Monrovia. “It happens on a daily basis.” She introduced me to Wynnie, a 9-year-old girl in her waiting room who had been raped twice. Yet there are signs of progress. Liberia’s president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the first woman elected a president in Africa, has sent strong signals that rape is intolerable. Aid groups like the Carter Center are working to promote the rule of law and punish the rapists… Maybe the greatest reassurance came from Jackie, the resilient 7-year-old. She appeared to have overcome the stigma of rape, for she explained that she wanted to grow up to build shelters for abused girls, adding, “I want to be president for Liberia.”[/qu
