POPSMacaques make democratic decisions Whether or not the individual monkeys were successful in getting the rest of the group to follow them didn't seem to relate to their age, sex or status. "Even the children can get the group moving," says Cédric Sueur, a graduate student who worked on the study with Petit. The style of decision-making most frequently documented in the animal kingdom is dictatorial. In mountain gorillas, for example, the obedient tribe will follow the dominant male silverback. Horses, mongooses and wolves also follow despotic leaders. But theories are emerging which suggest that mammals who make democratic decisions may have an evolutionary edge because they can pool the experience of each group member.

POPSThe Haunting Artistic Genius of Martin Ramirez The second article is well worth reading in its entirety to see how Ramirez destabilizes our expectations and categorizations. He is a hauntingly phantasmagoria artist. He is visually accessible yet emotionally elusive. We can see the beauty in the world of his art, but it is mysterious. His art seems to have the melancholy peacefulness and yet haunting menace of De Chirico. The fact that a full 1/3rd of his oeuvre, representing his late style and artistic evolution have just recently been discovered is a staggering windfall.

POPS81 Ways to a Better Life The Tao Te Ching is roughly translated as The Book of the Way and its Virtue. From Wikipedia: This ancient book is also central in Chinese religion, not only for Taoism (Daojiao 道教) but Chinese Buddhism, which when first introduced into China was largely interpreted through the use of Taoist words and concepts. Many Chinese artists, including poets, painters, calligraphers, and even gardeners have used the Tao Te Ching as a source of inspiration. Its influence has also spread widely outside East Asia, aided by hundreds of translations into Western languages.
