Article Abstract:

It has been shown that people's judgement of other people is based 53% on appearance and 38% on voice, the actual words used only accounting for 7%, so the importance of appearance is obvious. Advice on self presentation can be obtained from short workshops. Advice such as dressing with authority is illustrated by case samples of a tutor who could not control the class until she bought a jacket and a complaints officer who overcame her lack of assertiveness by dressing assertively. Long red fingernails and short, tight clothes are also to be avoided.

The secret sculpture garden

Article Abstract:

The Watermans Arts Centre in Middlesex, England, is currently staging an exhibition entitled 'Nek Chand Shows the Way.' This contains sculptures created from waste materials by Nek Chand, who created a sculpture garden in a forest clearing in northern India over a period many years. His work has now become well known, and this has given him the opportunity to undertake more ambitious projects. He has become particularly admired for his generosity of nature and for the innocence which characterizes his work.
