As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe — sun-baked brick plastered with mud Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment houses Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods These buildingswere usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against

The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland He came to London intending to study law, but went to art school instead There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting

In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art, and became interested in early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he's never sure what the results will be He says, 'It's a secret - because I don't know myself I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top.' Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy 'Anyone can do the colours - you can buy them I simply notice what you put the colours next to.'

Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did,

he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them 'If I feel they're worried and want to look

at the painting, I can't do it.'

Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene He says

he is not interested in following any tradition, but just paints the way he can However, his work still influences young British painters

Aitchison prefers models who don’t

Rock Band

Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his birthday At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise ‘It’s better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,’ Ben argued, ‘and it’ll keep me out of trouble.’

In the end we gave in ‘All right,’ we said, ‘but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbourswhen you play.’

That was just the beginning Because drums are not the easiest instruments to transport, the other members

of Ben’s band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing

At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising, my husband and I

go out for a long walk And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a

friendly and polite group of young men I cannot judge their musical skill - after all I didn’t expect my parents’ generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager - but they do play regularly in local clubs for young people.

Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet I am always stressing to Ben how important his studies are Butone thing is certain - Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored

People appear to be born to compute The numerical skills of children develop so early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of mathematical maturity guiding their growth Not long after learning to walk and talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy

— one plate, oneknife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs Soon they are capable of noting that theyhave placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware Having thus mastered addition, they move on to

subtraction It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island

at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics classwithout any serious problems of intellectual adjustment

Of course, the truth is not so simple This century, the work of cognitive psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends Children were observed as they slowly grasped — or, as the case might be, bumped into — concepts thatadults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total Such studies have suggested that the

rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort They have also suggested thatthe very concept of abstract numbers — the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table — is itself far from innate

Dogs are either optimists or pessimists, claim scientists

Scientists have confirmed what many pet owners have long suspected: some dogs have a more gloomy outlook on life than others The unusual insight into canine psychology emerged from a study by Bristol University researchers into how dogs behave when separated from their owners Dogs that were generally calm when left alone were also found to have a “dog bowl half full” attitude to life, while those that barked, relieved themselves and destroyed furniture appeared to

be more pessimistic, the study concluded

Michael Mendl, head of animal welfare and behaviour at the university, said the more anxiously adog behaved on being parted from its owner, the more gloomy its outlook appeared to be The findings suggest that the trouble caused by some dogs when they are left alone may reflect deeper emotional problems that could be treated with behavioural therapy

“Owners vary in how they perceive this kind of anxious behaviour in dogs Some are very

concerned, some relinquish the dog to a refuge, but others think the dog is happy or even being intentionally spiteful,” said Mendl “At least some of these dogs may have emotional issues and

we would encourage owners to talk to their vets about potential treatments,” he added Of the tenmillion pet dogs in the UK, around half may show separation anxiety at some stage, the

researchers said

Mendl’s team studied 24 animals at two dog homes in the UK Half of the dogs were male and they were various breeds, including Staffordshire bull terriers, golden retrievers and collies They ranged from nine months to nine years old Researchers began the study by going to a room witheach dog in turn and playing for 20 minutes They returned the next day, but this time left the dogalone for five minutes, during which the scientists recorded the animal’s behaviour with a video camera The footage was used to give each dog an anxiety score

A day or two later, the dogs were trained to walk over to a food bowl that was full when placed at one end of a room and empty when placed at the other When the dogs had learned the

difference, the scientists tested the animals’ underlying mood by placing bowls in ambiguous positions – in the middle of the room, for example – and noting how quickly each dog went to the bowl

The dogs that had been most anxious in the earlier test were slowest to approach food bowls placed in or near the middle of the room, suggesting they expected to find the bowl empty The

less anxious dogs ran to the food bowls, implying they were more optimistic, according to a report in Current Biology.

“We know that people’s emotional states affect their judgements and that happy people are morelikely to judge an ambiguous situation positively,” Mendl said “What our study has shown is that this applies similarly to dogs – that a glass-half-full dog is less likely to be anxious when left alonethan one with a more pessimistic nature.” Samantha Gaines, deputy head of the companion animals department at the RSPCA, said: “Some dogs may be more prone to develop these behaviours and should be re-homed with appropriate owners.”

— one plate, oneknife, one spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs Soon they are capable of noting that theyhave placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, that this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware Having thus mastered addition, they move on to

subtraction It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were secluded on a desert island

at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she could enter a second-grade mathematics classwithout any serious problems of intellectual adjustment

Of course, the truth is not so simple This century, the work of cognitive psychologists

has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which intellectual progress depends

Children were observed as they slowly grasped — or, as the case might be, bumped into — concepts that adults take for granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one Psychologists have since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile, readily report the number

of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding the total Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are mastered gradually, and with effort They have also suggested that the very concept of abstract numbers — the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a

threeness that applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more mathematically demanding than setting a table — is itself far from innate.

The word “illuminated” is closest in meaning to

Botany, the study of plants, occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge For many thousands of years it was the one field of awareness about which humans had anything more than the vaguest of insights It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age

ancestors knew about plant, but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist, a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient This is logical Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things, even for other plants They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, medicines, shelter, and a great many other purposes Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize literally hundreds of plants and know many properties of each To them botany, as such, has no name and is probably not even recognized

unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to

recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle

East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants, rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild — and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away

Dogs are either optimists or pessimists, claim scientists

Scientists have confirmed what many pet owners have long suspected: some dogs have a more gloomy outlook on life than others The unusual insight into canine psychology emerged from a study by Bristol University researchers into how dogs behave when separated from their owners Dogs that were generally calm when left alone were also found to have a “dog bowl half full” attitude to life, while those that barked, relieved themselves and destroyed furniture appeared to

be more pessimistic, the study concluded

Michael Mendl, head of animal welfare and behaviour at the university, said the more anxiously adog behaved on being parted from its owner, the more gloomy its outlook appeared to be The findings suggest that the trouble caused by some dogs when they are left alone may reflect deeper emotional problems that could be treated with behavioural therapy

“Owners vary in how they perceive this kind of anxious behaviour in dogs Some are very

concerned, some relinquish the dog to a refuge, but others think the dog is happy or even being intentionally spiteful,” said Mendl “At least some of these dogs may have emotional issues and

we would encourage owners to talk to their vets about potential treatments,” he added Of the tenmillion pet dogs in the UK, around half may show separation anxiety at some stage, the

researchers said

Mendl’s team studied 24 animals at two dog homes in the UK Half of the dogs were male and they were various breeds, including Staffordshire bull terriers, golden retrievers and collies They

ranged from nine months to nine years old Researchers began the study by going to a room witheach dog in turn and playing for 20 minutes They returned the next day, but this time left the dogalone for five minutes, during which the scientists recorded the animal’s behaviour with a video camera The footage was used to give each dog an anxiety score.

A day or two later, the dogs were trained to walk over to a food bowl that was full when placed at one end of a room and empty when placed at the other When the dogs had learned the

difference, the scientists tested the animals’ underlying mood by placing bowls in ambiguous positions – in the middle of the room, for example – and noting how quickly each dog went to the bowl

The dogs that had been most anxious in the earlier test were slowest to approach food bowls placed in or near the middle of the room, suggesting they expected to find the bowl empty The less anxious dogs ran to the food bowls, implying they were more optimistic, according to a report in Current Biology

“We know that people’s emotional states affect their judgements and that happy people are morelikely to judge an ambiguous situation positively,” Mendl said “What our study has shown is that this applies similarly to dogs – that a glass-half-full dog is less likely to be anxious when left alonethan one with a more pessimistic nature.” Samantha Gaines, deputy head of the companion animals department at the RSPCA, said: “Some dogs may be more prone to develop these behaviours and should be re-homed with appropriate owners.”

One of the most renowned Spanish architects of all time was Antoni Gaudi Gaudi's emergence

Gaudi's popularity helped to bring about the acceptance and rebirth of the Catalan language, which had been banned during the literature and art Gaudi shares his Catalonian background with two other famous Spanish artists, Pablo Picasso and Miro The diverse ethnic background ofthe region greatly influenced the work of Picasso and Miro, as well as Gaudi Thus, their works were a combination of an old history and an active, vivid imaginary world This has sometimes been referred to as the “Catalan Mind.” Yet it was perhaps Gaudi who had the greatest talent for bringing together diverse groups, ones which others viewed as being too diametrically opposed

to be capable of coming together and co-existing amicably

This was apparent not only in the artists and other individuals who surrounded him, but also in the varied styles and techniques he employed in his architecture Much of his work can be seen

disappearing from rainforests in the Southern Hemisphere which are barely touched by human hand The mystery is unsett1ing to say the least, for it is known that amphibian species are extremely sensitive to environmental variations in temperature and moisture levels The danger

is that planet Earth might not only lose a vital link in the ecological food chain (frogs keep

populations of otherwise pestilent insects at manageable levels), but we might be increasing our output of air pollutants to levels that may have already become irreversible Frogs could be inadvertently warning us of a catastrophe

One of the most renowned Spanish architects of all time was Antoni Gaudi Gaudi's emergence

as one of 's preeminent artists at the end of the nineteenth century marked a milestone in the art world

Gaudi's popularity helped to bring about the acceptance and rebirth of the Catalan language, which had been banned during the literature and art Gaudi shares his Catalonian background with two other famous Spanish artists, Pablo Picasso and Miro The diverse ethnic background ofthe region greatly influenced the work of Picasso and Miro, as well as Gaudi Thus, their works were a combination of an old history and an active, vivid imaginary world This has sometimes been referred to as the “Catalan Mind.” Yet it was perhaps Gaudi who had the greatest talent for bringing together diverse groups, ones which others viewed as being too diametrically opposed

to be capable of coming together and co-existing amicably

This was apparent not only in the artists and other individuals who surrounded him, but also in the varied styles and techniques he employed in his architecture Much of his work can be seen

in , where his structures are known as a fine representation of modernism He also used a great variety of color in his buildings, and this art nouveau is often associated with his own unique style

of design All of these factors are what helped put him at the forefront of art movements to come: his unique ability to take on and transform traditional Spanish elements with the emerging diverse ethnic groups, merging these with his own fertile imagination, and consequently turning these forces into some of the greatest architecture the world has ever seen

This frightening scenario is in part the consequence of a dramatic increase over the last quarter century in the development of once natural areas of wet marshland; home not only to frogs but toall manner of wildlife Yet, there are no obvious reasons why certain frog species are

disappearing from rainforests in the Southern Hemisphere which are barely touched by human hand The mystery is unsett1ing to say the least, for it is known that amphibian species are extremely sensitive to environmental variations in temperature and moisture levels The danger

is that planet Earth might not only lose a vital link in the ecological food chain (frogs keep

populations of otherwise pestilent insects at manageable levels), but we might be increasing our output of air pollutants to levels that may have already become irreversible Frogs could be inadvertently warning us of a catastrophe

Frogs could warn us of a catastrophe by chance.

When was the last time you saw a frog? Chances are, if you live in a city, you have not

seen one for some time Even in wet areas once teeming with frogs and toads, it is becoming

less and less easy to find those slimy, hopping and sometimes poisonous members of the animalkingdom All over the world, even in remote jungles on the far side of the globe, frogs are losing the ecological battle for survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise Are

amphibians simply over-sensitive to changes in the ecosystem? Could their rapid decline in

numbers be signalling some coming environmental disaster for us all?

Biologists are unable to explain why frogs are dying.
