The human body is an extraordinary machine, and our behavior an incessant source of fascination. In Curious Behavior: Yawning, Laughing, Hiccupping, and Beyond (public library), psychology and neuroscience professor Robert R. Provine undertakes an “analysis and celebration of undervalued, informative, and sometimes disreputable human behavior” by applying the lens of anthropologically-inspired, observational “Small Science” — “small because it does not require fancy equipment and a big budget, not because it’s trivial” — to a wealth of clinical research into the biology, physiology, and neuropsychology of our bodily behaviors.
Take, for instance, the science of what we call “crying,” a uniquely human capacity — a grab-bag term that consists of “vocal crying,” or sobbing, and “emotional tearing,” our quiet waterworks.

Courtesy Real African Art Gallery It was an odd feeling going on my first-ever safari during my recent trip to Tanzania. Odd because even though I had never been on one, I already had a fairly well-formed idea — a fantasy really — as to what that experience would be like. Mine was a vision shaped since I was young by countless popular cultural sources. Everything from Looney Toons cartoons, to movies, to nature shows on cable (as well as early black and white Tarzan shows on Saturday morning TV, I suspect) played a part in this imaginary construct.
Going into my trip, it is safe to say that I had a certain fantasy conception of “African safari,” and I’m happy to report that the actual experience not only matched that vision, but far exceeded it. One of the paintings that proved remarkable to me during my time in Arusha was a decidedly ordinary canvas. Street vendors in Arusha and Zanzibar selling Maasai paintings.

At the same time, the elliptical orbit rotates more slowly. The combined effect of the two precessions leads to a 21,000-year period between the astronomical seasons and the orbit.

Pyrenees Mountains Villages and Sights.
Our journey started in Barcelona, a high-energy metropolis (watch out for the well-dressed commuters on scooters racing from stoplight to stoplight) with a compact central city that is ideal for sightseeing. Leaving bustling Barcelona and traversing the Pyrenees, you encounter many small villages that present a slower and more relaxed pace of life. Roda de Isabena is one such village. Located on a hilltop overlooking the Mid Isabena Valley, it is a medieval town centered around its 10th Century cathedral. A beautiful picturesque village in France, although quite touristy, is St Jean Pied de Port. This village is on the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, and has seen pilgrims pass through for centuries on their journey to Santiago. The historic walled city of Carcassonne, France is without peer in the fabled storybook city category. The city inside the wall, the wall itself with all its turrets, the cathedral, and the castle, all combine to fashion a wonderful place to visit.
Say Something Nice.

We wanted to see what would happen if New Yorkers were given the opportunity to amplify their voices to “say something nice.” Say Something Nice was produced by Improv Everywhere as part of the Guggenheim Museum exhibition stillspotting nyc.
