The Chronology of Fashion Spring 2011 The Chronology of Fashion focuses on those points when a style of suit or dress, hat or handbag, cut of hair or cloth—or indeed entire look—came to pinpoint its moment in time or radiate out to express its entire era. Proceeding with strict chronology, each spread takes a distinct fashion item, be it a high heel or a low skirt, and displays it in contemporary images.

1870–1914 the be lle e poque

N. J. Stevenson has worked in the industry as a writer and stylist since 1996. An alumni of the London College of Fashion, she specialized in vintage, before gaining an M.A. in Fashion Curation.

The Hobble Skirt 1910–13

The Hobble Skirt: ‘What’s that? It’s the speed-limit skirt!” ’

The Hobble Skirt 1910–14

Tango dress, Doucet, 1914

The tango from South America became a huge craze that had a major effect on fashion – Paquin opened a branch in Buenos Aires.

The tango dress, often of yellow or orange satin, was lighter and looser with a central slit in the skirt. The dance moves eventually caused hemlines to rise and dresses were worn over trousers, with a transparent over-bodice.

Tango slippers were fastened with ribbons that crossed from toe to ankle.

The exotic shackle

Already known as the maverick of fashion, Paul Poiret’s hobble skirt caused an outcry in 1911. Skirts had been narrowing since the turn of the century, but Poiret’s interpretation of the trend was sensational. The line of these dresses seemed dramatically unstructured after the curves of the Gibson Girl. The draped silhouette fell from a soft bustline and narrowed severely between the knees and ankles, which restricted the wearer to geisha-like minute steps. This was very in tune with the notions of the Orient that interested Poiret, with the woman as an exotic and glamorous courtesan.

Hobble skirt, Leon Bakst, 1912

The introduction of the tight skirt was at odds with women becoming more active – the Suffragette protests were at their height, but the fashionable woman could only take a step of a couple of inches. The effect of encasement was heightened by the collar and long, tight kid gloves that were worn under close-fitting sleeves. Skirts started to be designed with splits, concealed pleating and artful draping for ease of movement.

A fashion for satire, 1911

Hobble dress, Lucile, c. 1910

The hobble skirt was the subject of much public debate, from gentle satirisation to papal condemnation. Cartoonists found much humour to be derived from the new fashion, particularly when worn with the huge hats and high, stiff collars which were even more exaggerated than Edwardian styles. The style was also seen as erotic, with women rendered helpless by their clothing.

Haute couture was one business that was not dominated by men. As well as Worth, Poiret and Jacques Doucet, there was room for the Callot Sœurs, Madeleine Cheruit, Jeanne Lanvin and Madame Paquin. Lucile was the originator of the first fashion shows using live models in her salons, although as this photograph shows, her designs were just as limiting to female emancipation as those of Poiret.

Cocktail chic

The racecourse: catwalk of the day, 1912

As the haunt of the fashionable elite, couturiers sent their mannequins to the Paris racecourses to show their latest creations.

This outfit pairs the narrow skirt with a pannier, or polonaise, overskirt that echoes the style of the 1870s when skirts also narrowed dramatically. Brimless hats, decorated with a plume, and dainty shoes with high louis heels were also the height of style.

Before Coco Chanel invented the Little Black Dress in the twenties, black was reserved for mourning, but her design was so consummate in its simplicity that Vogue called it ‘Chanel’s Ford’, claiming it to be the dress that every Hobble skirt, Jeanne Paquin, 1912 woman should have.

Outfit by Givenchy ,1961

By the time Audrey Hepburn starred as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961, the LBD was well-established, but Givenchy made the style fresher and younger, and in doing so created an iconic fashion moment. Hepburn’s elfin looks and slight figure contrasted directly with the smouldering sexuality of Anita Ekberg in her gravity-defying black dress in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita of the preceding year and predicted a time to come.

and side volant, Mme Grès, 1955

Pierre Balmain, 1957

Even leisure time in the 1950s had rigid social codes and timetabling and it was the rise of the cocktail party, particularly when it became a part of suburban life, that made the LBD such an indispensable item. In contrast to the full-skirted crisp cottons or tailored wool of daywear, a little black dress in satin and tulle allowed a woman to express the inner femme fatale.

Dropping out of architectural studies to pursue a career in fashion, Balmain provided an alternative to the Corolle silhouette of the New Look, with his long, bell-shaped skirts and pulled-in waists. A designer for the International Set, he was known for styles that were both elegant and fun as seen in this design, which plays on the ballerina-style mode of the era.

Madame Grès, who before the war had designed couture under the name Alix, was already known for her classically sculptural styles. Her pleated evening gowns are reminiscent of Greek statues, but in turning her hand to a little black dress in the fifties, she used her favourite jersey to accentuate womanly curves in this wrap style, which pre-dates another classic wardrobe staple.

Cover of The Queen magazine, 1954

The simple chic of the little black dress works well as the perfect backdrop to accessories, particularly for the feature hats worn for cocktail hour. Vogue had called the dress, ‘a uniform for all women of taste’ in the twenties, but what had become apparent by the fifties was that the LBD had developed a persona of its own – one of sexy, uncompromising glamour.

HOW TO READ

GARDENS

How to Read Gardens provides the reader with all the knowledge he or she needs to tease out the clues that will reveal the complete story of a garden’s past. from the grandest estate to the smallest suburban plot, this book will enliven and inform every future garden visit.

A crash course in garden appreciation

Lorraine Harrison has a Master’s degree in Garden History from the university of london and has written several books and magazine articles on the subject.

Dutch Formality STYLESFrench OF &GARDEN Het Loo Palace, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands

Often rather misleadingly referred to as the ‘Versailles of Holland’, Het Loo originally dates from the 1680s.

What we visit today is a 1970s restoration and re-creation.

Lorraine Harrison Lorraine Harrison

The gardens at the Château de Versailles in France are the epitome of French style and derive directly from Italian Renaissance gardens. Adapted to suit the flatter terrain, the grand design is characterised by great expanses of still water and surface pattern. Parterres are placed close to the house to be viewed from above, long avenues radiate out from the house towards perimeter bosquets (shrubberies), intersected by walks. Impressive fountains, sculpture and balustrading abound. Out of the grandiose French style, smaller Dutch gardens developed in the 17th century featuring hedges, topiary, statuary and, of course, canals and tulips.

Planted patterns

Box Hedging

Box Hedging

The French developed and refined the style of bedding known as the parterre.

The most elaborate, parterres de broderie, are positioned closest to the house, with simpler designs at a greater distance. These complex arabesque patterns derived from the heavily embroidered clothes of the period. Flowing intricate designs are bordered in low-growing box with flowers and foliage plants grown in the beds. Some compartments are filled with raked coloured materials such as coal dust or sand.

The BUILDINGS View on High GARDEN

Purpose

Although you will find towers of varied designs, the tendency is for them to be more architecturally correct and less fanciful than a lot of garden structures. They strike a sombre note, adding an air of gravitas to a scene.

Some, especially in public spaces, may commemorate a person or event.

Sand/gravel

Sissinghurst Castle, Kent, England

Imposing and substantial structures, like Sand/gravel towers, often pre-date their surrounding garden, such as the one at Sissinghurst, which is Elizabethan.

Clipped Topiary

Belvederes and towers are among the most conspicuous buildings found in gardens. The word belvedere is Italian for ‘beautiful to see’ and refers to a high structure, often a tower, affording spectacular views. Known as watch towers or prospect towers, many originally served a defensive function and were later commandeered for pleasurable purposes. However, others have been built just to impress, and dominate a landscape visually for great distances. The intention is that such buildings should be looked at, as well as looked from, serving as eye-catchers or focal points.

Style

Towers may be Classical, gothic, round, square, pointed or castellated in design.

They vary in height considerably and are often positioned on high ground, further accentuating their importance. The higher the tower, the more affluent its owner.

Clock tower

Location

As its name suggests, a clock tower is a tower with at least one clock face set within its structure. Many have four, one on each façade, thus enabling the time to be seen at a distance from multiple viewpoints.

Clock towers are more common in public parks than private gardens, although small clock towers can be incorporated into other functional garden buildings such as gatehouses or stable blocks.

A crash course in interpreting the great outdoors

A crash course in interpreting the great outdoors

Rob Yarham writes widely on wildlife, conservation, and the landscape of Britain.

Robert Yarham

David Robinson, consultant editor, is reader in Physical Geography at the university of Sussex.

EARTHThe Earth’s Structure

Robert Yarham

The Earth has a total circumference of 40,000km (24,900 miles) and a diameter of 12,732km (7,911 miles). At its heart is an inner core, essentially a ball of solid metal, mostly iron and nickel, around which is the outer core, comprising molten metals. Surrounding this is a thick layer, about 2,200km (1,370 miles) in depth, of dense silicate minerals that form the mantle. Floating on top of the mantle is the thin, hardened and brittle layer of the crust. The crust and the rigid part of the upper mantle, to which it is fused, form the lithosphere, the rocky base of the landscapes covering the planet’s surface.

Consultant Editor David Robinson Blue dot

The Earth’s cool, blue, water-dominated surface belies its fiery interior. The temperature of the inner core is thought be around 4,700ºC (8,500°F).

The heat rises through the outer core of liquid metal to the mantle, where temperatures can reach 3,500ºC (6,330°F).

Driving forces

Ridge building

The heat generated in the Earth’s core rises up through the rocks of the mantle, creating rising currents of heat. These currents cool as they move towards the top of the mantle and then fall back down again, driving the movement of the plates on the Earth’s crust.

The discovery of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, a volcanic mid-oceean ridge about 1,000km (620 miles) wide by 2,500km (1,550 miles) high where new oceanic crust is created, provided evidence to support the theory that the crust was continuously growing and moving.

Fossils PROCESSES Continental plate

Fossils present a rare, tangible glimpse of how a landscape and the life that inhabited it were once so different.

Although it is not easy to see fossils – the remains or traces of ancient plants and animals are rarely preserved – they can be found in sedimentary layers of rock that have been recently exposed by wind or water erosion, particularly in cliff faces. Such rock layers may once have formed the floors of rivers, lakes or oceans where the remains of underwater creatures, such as molluscs, kinds of plate: continental plates (or sial, were buried.

For an animal or plant, or its remains or traces, to be preserved in stone a rare chain of specific circumstances must take place.Perhaps the most common form of fossilisation is that which happens in sedimentary rock.

consume its soft tissue. Layers of sand quickly bury it and are slowly compacted so that they turn into rock.

The minerals in the sediment gradually replace the molecules of the shell with their own molecules, thus preserving the shell. Eventually, the layers of rock are uplifted and then exposed by erosion to reveal the fossil.

Other fossil forms

There are many other forms of fossilisation, such as being frozen in ice, preserved in airless and waterless conditions in a desert, or trapped in amber, but you are unlikely to find such fossils walking in the landscape.

Fuel for thought

Marine organisms can be buried to form limestone or crushed in sand to form sandstone. Fossil fuels are produced when plants are buried and, in certain conditions, they eventually form coal, oil and gas.

■ Begin by assembling the main section of the building, Empire 1.

■ Begin by constructing the main body of the building, Chrysler 1.

■ Assemble Empire 2. When dry, attach to Empire 1.

■ While this dries, assemble Chrysler 2–4, which make up the distinctive art deco tower—they will nestle inside each other like Russian dolls. Glue the outermost piece, Chrysler 4, to the top of Chrysler 1, by applying a thin bead of glue along Chrysler 4’s bottom edge and positioning it in place along the outermost glue guidelines.

■ To build a more detailed version, where the spaces between the cables are cut out, begin here (if not, begin with the next paragraph).

Using a sharp craft knife, and a metal straight-edge (to steady the blade) cut out the pieces between the cables on Brooklyn 3 and 4. .

■ This building consists of only one piece. First attach the sides, then the bottom and finally the top. The roof’s large rectangles are glued to their corresponding tabs, but the smaller sections are simply folded over and adhered with just the slightest touch of glue.

■ Begin with the body of Liberty herself, Liberty 1. To give her greater dimension, slightly curve out the piece lengthwise by rolling it gently over a dowel or round pencil. A subtle curve is all that is needed. Make sure to fold and glue her left hand in place on the tablet she’s holding.

■ Begin by folding the façade, Met 1, as indicated on the template.

Don’t overlook the dashed valley fold.

■ Assemble the distinctive piers of the bridge, Brooklyn 1 and 2. Glue the rectangular tabs to those with the diagonal corners.

■ Admire Philip Johnson’s postmodern masterpiece!

■ Slightly round out pieces Liberty 2 and 3. Glue the pieces one on top of the other to give her toga dimension. Don’t forget to fold and glue the small triangular section on Liberty 2.

Empire State Building

■ Build the base, Empire 3, making sure to leave the bottom flap open for now.

■ Build the spire, Empire 4, by gluing the two pieces spine to spine.

Fold the two sections in half, then use a toothpick to apply a thin line of glue along the spine of one piece. With the two pieces folded closed, glue one to the spine of the other. Let dry.

■ Attach the main section to the base. Glue bottom flap closed.

■ With a tiny line of glue along the base of the spire (Empire 4), position it gently onto the top of Empire 2.

■ While up on the spire, keep an eye out for King Kong, Fay Wray and the biplanes.

■ Follow suit with Chrysler 3 and 2.

■ The pinnacle comprises two pieces glued spine to spine, Chrysler 5.

Simply fold the two pieces in half, then use a toothpick to apply a thin bead of glue along the spine of one piece. With the two pieces folded closed, glue one to the spine of the other. When dry, put a drop of glue on the bottom and slide it into the nest of pieces already in place.

■ Assemble Chrysler 6. Glue Chrysler 1 to 6.

■ Assemble the base of the building (Chrysler 7), but leave the bottom flap open for the time being. This will allow you to reach in with a finger or two when gluing Chrysler 6 to the base. When all the pieces are in place, glue the bottom flap closed and take the elevator to the top for a stunning view of mid-Manhattan.

■ Glue Brooklyn 1 and 2 to the inside of Brooklyn 3, the first of the two spans. Align the tops of the piers with the top edge of the spans.

■ Glue the roadway into place. Begin with Brooklyn 5. Fold down the tabs and glue to the inside of Brooklyn 3. Be sure to line up the bottom of the tab with the bottom of the span. Repeat with Brooklyn 6 and 7.

■ Attach Brooklyn 4 to the rest of the structure by gluing the two piers to its inside. At this point the roadway is attached only on one side of the bridge. Push the unglued side down and slightly below the bridge, to easily apply glue to the remaining tabs. Push the section back up into the bridge, lining them up as before with the bottom of the span.

■ You may now travel from Manhattan to Brooklyn and back again!

K

■ Attach Met 1 to the bulk of the building, Met 2. Fold and glue the four columns, Met 3, together. Set aside and let dry.

■ Attach the roof, Met 4, to the building, ensuring that you glue the gray tab at the front of the roof to the back of the crenellated façade.

■ Construct the base, Liberty 4. Observe the dashed line that indicates a valley fold! Mark, score and fold as indicated in the general instructions.

■ Attach the columns to the front of the building. Fold and glue the stairs, Met 5, to the building. Attach the completed building to the base, Met 6.

■ Apply a thin bead of glue to the bottom of Liberty 1 and gently place on the base. Hold for a count of twenty so that the glue sets.

■ When visiting the Met, be sure to look for Michelangelo’s The Study for the Libyan Sibyl, one of the finest drawings to be held in a museum in America.

■ Place a tiny dot of glue on either side of the torch and attach Liberty 5 over the flame.

■ From the observation decks in either Liberty’s crown or torch, take in the spectacular view of Lower Manhattan.

Castles Spring 2011

David Nicolle

Castles takes a uniquely architectural approach to deconstructing all forms of fortification, showing how the architect, stonemason, and engineer evolved to repel the destructive power of artillery. Using stylish engravings, punctuated by “anatomies” and featuring cross-reference panels, this book provides both a fascinating narrative and an essential visual reference for the general and military historian.

Charles Stephenson is a historian who has written several books and journals on forts and fortifications.

The Concentric Castle Kidwelly Castle, 14th century

f Engineering: using the land

c o n s u l ta n t e d i t o r

Kidwelly Castle was an imposing statement of Norman power. Built in the 12th century, it was developed, altered, and added to during three centuries of Anglo-Welsh conflict—a chronicle in stone of the evolving medieval fortress. The original ringwork castle was one of a series built by the Normans to secure their southern Welsh conquests. In the mid-13th century, the de Chaworth family constructed a square inner ward with four round corner towers and portcullis gates to the north and south, thus transforming Kidwelly into a concentric castle, with an inner and outer ring of defenses. In the early 14th century, the present outer defenses were constructed. The semi-circular outer wall was heightened and strengthened to form a stone curtain wall with a wall walk and a series of semi-circular towers. A small gate was inserted on the north side, while on the south the Great n Structure: gatehouse e The Great Gatehouse forms an Gatehouse was constructed, massively architectural highlight of Kidwelly.

Built on three-stories, it is designed strengthening the defenses. So tall was as a self-sufficient structure which the new curtain wall that the four inner can be held independently if the rest of the castle is captured.

Like other well-constructed castles, Kidwelly is built in a location that enhances its defensive capabilities. The original ringwork castle was founded on a steep ridge overlooking the River Gwendraeth at its upper tidal limit. The river provides a natural defense, and little further strengthening is needed on that side. The river is also useful as a means of access to the sea, thus forming a link in a chain of new strongholds controlling a major coastal route.

David Nicolle

h Plans: organic logic

n

Kidwelly Castle was part of a larger Norman settlement, covering around eight acres. The settlement’s line of defenses can still be traced in the form of an earthen bank and ditch that surrounds it on all sides except for the east. The plan of existing roads probably follows the original layout.

constable are on the second floor.

The keep, the central tower of the castle, is usually the most well-defended area. It often provides the main living quarters, storage for arms and food, and the well.

The key points for the defense

Plan: concentric walls e

Before the arrival of gunpowder in the late fifteenth century, permanent fortifications were the dominant means of both controlling and defending territory. During the medieval period, tried and tested defensive features, from drawbridges to ditches, were imitated and adapted for use in a variety of fortified structures, including castles, walls, towns, cities, monasteries, and harbors.

A square inner bailey is defended by four round towers, which overlook a semi-circular curtain wall on the landward side, with the massive gatehouse next to the river. The river prevents this being a truly concentric plan. However, a jutting tower, as well as the river itself, protects the riverside walls, and the final plan is very strong. As with all concentric castles, Kidwelly’s strength lies not in its keep but in its walls, which are set with strongly fortified gatehouses and with towers at regular intervals around their circumference.

A strong stone wall is built around the outside of the keep.

Between the keep and the wall is the enclosed area known as the bailey.

Bartizan

The bartizan is a small turret or look-out projecting from a wall and supported by corbels.

Mural towers can be square, rectangular, polygonal, round, or D-shaped.

170

Multi-purpose towers

Mural towers sometimes serve as miniature keeps, while also defending the curtain. Some function as a chapel, living space, kitchen, or prison.

171 Turrets

Small towers project vertically from fortresses. They are used to provide a projecting defensive position allowing covering fire to the adjacent wall.

Ditch

Oubliette

The ditch can be a moat filled with water, or an area lined with sharpened sticks.

The oubliette is a type of hidden dungeon accessible only from a hatch in a high ceiling.

Drawbridge

Stairs

Interior rooms often have wooden staircases, while walls and towers have stone stairs.

The newel stair, in which a spiral stair revolves around a central column, is common.

144

The castle’s entrance is its weakest point, so priority is given to building a strong gatehouse. Often this is the first part of the castle to be rebuilt in stone.

Placing the gatehouse near a moat or keep gives it added protection.

Battlements

Defenders raise the far end of the drawbridge by hauling on ropes or chains.

Arrow loops

Arrow loops allow defenders to fire bows from cover. Rare before 1190, they begin as a simple vertical slot, less than two inches wide at the outside, and average between 3 and 12 feet in length. In the late 12th century, a splayed foot is introduced, which widens the defenders’ field of fire.

Battlements, or crenellations, are a classic defensive feature of medieval fortified walls. An embrasure, or crenel, is an opening in the wall used to provide a firing point. The intervening merlons provide cover for defenders.

A political system where the manifesto really is carved in stone.

3-MINUTE THOUGHT

The term “Theocracy” was invented by Josephus (AD 38–100) specifically to describe the ancient Hebrew constitution based on the concept that God’s laws were handed to Moses carved on tablets of stone. While its literal meaning, “rule of God,” seems easy to grasp, the blend of the secular and the sacred would need a book the size of the Bible to discuss its implications. Complex variations of Theocracy have punctuated history, and the consequences of a belief that the ruler is divine can perhaps best be appreciated by considering how two theocracies can happily co-exist.

directly, or via earthly representation in the form of priests. It is not the same as a state religion, which works alongside political rule. It implies that the power to govern is derived from God, and that whoever is governing is a conduit for God’s laws and instructions. In some examples, the same hierarchy administers both the religious and the political affairs of a country. In others, there are two systems, but the secular is subservient to the religious. Most examples of Theocracy are historical. The Israelites of biblical times lived under a Theocracy in which they were governed by Mosaic law, which was handed directly from God to Moses; and early Islam was ruled by Mohammed as the recipient of the law given by Allah. Renaissance popes combined their role as the vicar of god with great secular power. In medieval Europe, and until the time of Cromwell in England, the “divine right of kings” held sway; it was thought that kings derived their right to rule from God alone, and were therefore answerable only to God. Ancient Chinese emperors ruled under the Mandate of Heaven, which could be withdrawn if an emperor proved too despotic and transferred to a more deserving candidate.

There are different kinds of truth for different kinds of people.

All theocracies have god on their side, which means that conflicts easily escalate into century-long wars.

3-MINUTE MANIFESTO

It was Leo Strauss who put the con into neocon.

He believed that there was “inherent conflict between philosophic truth and the political order.”

The answer was not to educate the proletariat out of their ignorance, because if they started thinking for themselves, they would be impossible to control. Strauss’s solution, followed by his disciples, was not only to deceive the masses by hide the true facts—about Weapons of Mass Destruction, for example— but to believe that such deception occupied the high moral ground.

the union between Free Market Capitalism and the political imagination of disillusioned leftwingers and liberals, as a reaction against the counterculture flowering at the time.

When Communism fell and Flower Power waned, Neo-conservatism had no more natural enemies, and so turned to the rest of the world and began “exporting democracy.” This drive manifested itself as a particularly aggressive foreign policy, even more so after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in September 2001. Irving Kristol, considered the father of Neoconservatism, was an avid Trotskyite in his youth, and he and his contemporaries brought the romantic revolutionary intensity of their early ideals to the materially successful but politically moribund Capitalist system to produce a kind of mythic imperative common to all schemes of world domination. Kristol felt that there was no point in being a world power, as the USA was, if you were not going to forge an empire in your own image. Inconvenient truths or facts should not get in the way, so a hierarchy of truths was developed, to be used depending on whom you were dealing wth. Following the ideas of political philosopher Leo Strauss, Neoconservatism holds that noble lies and myths are a more efficient way of keeping society stable and controlling the people.

FESTINGER’S BORING TASK the 30-second theory If you believe one thing, yet do 3-SECOND THOUGHT

Editor Christian Jarrett

Whenever a pair of incompatible beliefs or decisions collide in our minds it provokes a kind of mental discomfort known as “cognitive dissonance.”

3-MINUTE ANALYSIS

It’s not just us humans who experience cognitive dissonance, monkeys do, too. Louisa Egan and colleagues at Yale University showed this in a 2007 study in which they offered capuchin monkeys the choice between pairs of differently colored, yet equally appealing candy.

After turning down a given color in one pair, a monkey made subsequent choices that showed it had devalued that rejected color in its mind, thereby justifying the earlier arbitrary preference.

or say another, what happens psychologically?

In the absence of any external justification for the anomalous behavior, the contradiction is resolved by altering your original belief. The American psychologist Leon Festinger showed this with James Carlsmith in a classic study in 1959, known as “the boring task.” Having performed an hour-long monotonous task involving pegs on a board, students were paid either one dollar or twenty dollars to convince another person that the task was fun and interesting. Afterward, the students were asked by a researcher what they really thought of the boring task: those paid just one dollar said that they had found the task enjoyable whereas the students paid twenty dollars said that it was in truth terribly dull. Festinger’s interpretation was that the students’ belief that the task was dull clashed with the fact that they’d just told someone else it was fun, thus causing uncomfortable “cognitive dissonance.” For the students who had been paid twenty dollars, this contradiction was easily resolved—they’d been paid a fair sum and that’s why they’d lied. For the students who had been paid just one dollar, however, the contradiction was more easily resolved by altering their original belief.

the 30-second theory

30-SECOND TEXT Christian Jarrett

As a young psychiatrist, 3-SECOND THOUGHT

Just tell yourself that putting pegs in a board all day is a whole lot of fun and you’ll start to believe it.

Mental illness involves self-defeating habits of thinking that distort how we make sense of the world. Cognitive therapy allows us to detect these patterns and use alternatives.

3-MINUTE ANALYSIS

In his early work, Beck had an unfortunate tendency to refer to more “rational” ways of thinking, rather than more helpful ways, and this has come under criticism, as “rationality” is a logical ideal that we don’t need to be mentally healthy. Furthermore, the style of cognitive therapy doesn’t suit everyone and so it is important to find a type of therapy that suits a person’s personal preferences.

Aaron Beck trained as a Freudian psychoanalyst but began asking the one question that has come to define cognitive therapy, “What’s the evidence for that?” Before Beck, psychotherapy was more philosophy than science, with innovations being based on personal insight and the influence of “big thinkers.” Beck’s innovation was to develop cognitive therapy on the basis of scientific studies that tested out common assumptions. This “testing out” approach is also recommended to patients as the treatment is based on the idea—and, in fact, the evidence—that mental illness involves biases in how we perceive, act, and think about the world—some of which can be seen in the thoughts that pass through our minds and some of which we might not be aware of. For example, someone with depression might tend to interpret everyday disappointments as a sign that they are “worthless” while someone with a fear of embarrassing themselves in public might avoid social gatherings and so never learn that their worry is unrealistic. A cognitive therapist will work with the client to identify where their thinking and behavior prevents them from getting better and will help develop strategies to overcome these problems, each of which is tested to see if it helps.

30- SECOND MYTHOLOGY

The 50 most important classical myths, monsters, heroes and gods, each explained in half a minute

A working knowledge of classical mythology offers instant kudos. Odyssey through these fifty 30-second legends to discover what Hercules did to deserve his 12 labors, why Odysseus took ten years to travel 500 miles, and how Narcissus found the love of his life.

HINDUISM 30-second religion Hindus believe we are all 3-SECOND SUMMARY

God is One and beyond form. God appears in many different forms. God lives in the heart. God contains the entire universe. God is everywhere.

3-MINUTE THEOLOGY

Hinduism is polymorphic monotheism. The gods express different aspects of divine reality, a cosmic spirit that exists inside and outside the individual.

Śiva embodies power, Viṣṣu righteousness, and Devī, the goddess, the sweet or ferocious energy of mother or lover. Each manifests different forms, marries other deities, raises divine families, uniting different traditions and creating new matrices of devotion. A Hindu worships one, other, or many gods depending on family upbringing, community, or personal

continually reincarnated, lifetime after lifetime.

Our fate is determined by karma, the moral worth of our previous actions. The spiritual goal is to put an end to rebirth and be united with God. This is achieved through the path of knowledge (via study, yoga, meditation, and ascetic practice, one experiences the identity of one’s own soul with the cosmic spirit) and the path of devotion, praising and worshipping God. Worldly activities—the pursuit of wealth, power, love, and pleasure—must be performed in harmony with dharma, the natural law of the universe. Dharma has divided society into castes, rigidly categorizing families in terms of power, purity, prestige, and occupation. Those living outside caste, the so-called “untouchable” people, endure a kind of religious apartheid.

The Brahmins are the priestly caste. Their scriptures, the Vedas, are some 4,000 years old and define orthodoxy. Hinduism is the meeting of this big tradition with many other local little traditions through adaption and absorption.

Mythically, this process is expressed as big gods manifesting as little gods, or marrying goddesses. Hinduism is thus a loose assemblage of communities and sects—of various practices and traditions—like a large, extended family.

3-SECOND SUMMARY

The Buddha’s first sermon taught four truths: suffering, the origin of suffering, the end of suffering (nirvana), and the path to the end of suffering.

3-MINUTE THEOLOGY

Buddhist meditation consists of two combined disciplines: concentration and insight. By concentrating on an object, such as the breath, the mind withdraws from sensory experience and thoughts, developing states of calm and joy, gradually eradicating neurotic emotional tendencies. Insight is the inculcated “seeing” of the impermanent flow of phenomena, in which the ego—apparently, so real—cannot be found.

This eradicates a mistaken

holy man who stepped outside the mainstream Indian religion of the Brahmin priests. He dispensed with rituals and speculation about God, teaching an intensely pragmatic path of mental cultivation, whose goal was the end of suffering. Suffering, he said, is the inevitable result of the way in which the individual instinctively shores up the ego by grasping at what is pleasant and reacting against what is unpleasant. Realistically, pain is unavoidable and, more subtly, because things are always changing, so too is the difficulty of experiencing pleasant states slipping away. By fully appreciating the impermanent flow of experience—and the fact that everyone dies— one develops a dispassionate attitude, which is ultimately rooted in the discovery that the ego is itself an insubstantial fiction and that who we really are is beyond all thoughts of the “I”. In this life, nirvana, the goal, is literally the “blowing out” of these compulsive tendencies— the three fires of greed, hatred, and delusion— denoting the complete turning around of a person from neurotic egoism to a state of blissful peace and the selfless freedom to be naturally loving toward others. At death, nirvana is the end of all rebirth.

The Atlas of Languages Spring 2012 The Atlas of Languages shows the flux and flow of languages, from the inexorable spread of Spanish and English to the discreet growth of minority languages like Creole and Hebrew.

There are specialized orthographical maps, and the status of extinct and endangered languages is illustrated, as is the growth of sign languages. An accompanying weblink has audio samples of endangered and extinct tongues and biographies of the people who speak them.

The map shows how the two word-forms for “tea” were dispersed along three distinct trade routes. The origins of language, and the cultural relation to trade, are beautifully clear in this example. The word for tea is pronounced differently in each of China’s main teaexporting centers, making it possible to trace the progress of word-forms around the world from three sources.

The Basque language is currently spoken by about 1 million people (about one-third of the Basque population) as a first or second language.

Due to the mountainous nature of the region there are a number of dialects, not all of which are mutually intelligible. There is a standard form of the language (Euskara batua) that is taught in school and promoted by the Basque regional government.

The Basque country has been continuously occupied since paleolithic times. Genetically, Basques are quite different from their Iberian and French neighbors. Speakers of Basque used to be located over a much larger region in northern Spain, but the area where the language is spoken has been shrinking over the past 2,000 years under pressure first from Latin, and later from French and Spanish.

Basque is a language isolate and cannot be shown to be related to any other language spoken in the world. Its grammatical structure and vocabulary are entirely different from neighboring languages, and it is likely that it is a survivor from a time before the Indo-European languages spread throughout Europe. All traces have disappeared of any languages related to Basque that might have been spoken before the arrival of Celtic, Romance, and Germanic languages in what is now Spain and France.

The map above shows the percentage of the population that speaks Basque. The current Basque-speaking area stretches 160km west of the Pyrenees along the Bay of Biscay, and 50 kilometers north to south. Its major centers are central Biscay (Bizkaia in Basque), Guipúzcoa (Gipuzkoa), and northern Navarre (Nafarroa) in Spain, and in the districts of Lower Navarre (Nafarroa Beherea) and Soule (Zuberoa) in France.

The English word “tea” has diffused into the languages of Britain’s former colonies, such as Hausa in Nigeria (“tii”) or Warlpiri in central Australia (“tii”). Notice too that colloquial British English has “char” (as in a “cuppa char”), showing evidence of both versions.

A R A G O N

There are two common words for tea that occur in the world’s languages: a form like English “tea” and a form like Russian “chai.” Both come from China, but they originate in different parts of the country where different types of Chinese are spoken. Minnan Chinese, spoken in Fujian province and Taiwan, has “te”, while others such as Cantonese and Mandarin have “cha.” Dutch traders, who were the original European tea merchants, had their main contacts with the city of Amoy (now Xiamen) in Fujian province and so borrowed “thee” as their word for tea. It was this word that then spread to most European languages, including English, French, and German. The tea trade in Europe was controlled by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Their trade was based in southern China where Cantonese is spoken, and so the Portuguese term is “cha.” Tea was also exported from China via an overland route into central Asia and eastern Euope so languages in this region have a word like “chai”, as in Russian and Turkish.

minnan chinese

A R A G O N

Across the world, languages have borrowed words from one another, especially where communities of speakers have been in contact for trade and other forms of exchange. Often a borrowed word will be passed from one language to another, with or without a change in form or meaning, and so it is possible for us to map the movement and historical spread of words across the world.

One Billion Heartbeats The universal rhythms of nature and how they affect us

Jamie Gillooly

An awareness of Nature’s diversity and the sheer range of lifeforms that exist on Earth is given to us daily by TV programs and wildlife books. But what if all this diversity of life could be explained by a few simple rules? Just consider that all mammals have an average lifetime ration of one billion heartbeats. Mathematical patterns like this have led some biologists to suggest that a single theory of development could be applied to all living organisms of whatever scale or species, from whales to lichens.

SeedBombs Spring 2011

SEEDBOMBS

Seedbombs are a vital part of the phenomenon of guerrilla gardening, encouraging people to learn about plants through making and throwing them—a fun and dynamic way of dispersing seeds. SeedBombs presents ten recipes for seedbombs, some designed to attract wildlife, others to create color and scent. The book explores what seedbombs are, their origins, and their benefits to nature and the environment.

GOING WILD WITH FLOWERS

Josie Jeffery

Josie Jeffery studied Horticulture & Garden Design in Brighton, Sussex, and has been seedbombing for three years.

what is a seedbomb

How do I make tHem? t

There are various ways of making seedbombs, you need to find a carrier for the seeds. My method is using natural ingredients; Compost and clay The compost offers nutrients for the seeds to germinate and grow strong during their infancy and the clay binds the seedbomb making it hard enough not to break when it hits the ground.

the history of seedbombing

When I tell people I make seedbombs they look puzzled and ask ‘What is a seedbomb?’ They are thought to be edible (some fancy new super food) or cosmetic, rarely people think they are horticultural. I smile and begin a well rehearsed explanation.

A seedbomb is a little ball made up of a combination of compost clay and seeds wHat Iss Itt for’?

The compost and clay act as a carrier for the seeds so they can be launched over walls or fences and in to inaccessible areas such as wasteland.

✱ The seedlings will then grow on in to mature plants and face whatever conditions Mother Nature has in store for them, as they grow, more seeds are germinating and the Seedbomb begins to dissolve. ✱ The Seedbomb’s erosion rate is dependent on strength of rainfall; it can take days, weeks or months.

Apart from the fact that they are really good fun to make, they actually work.

‘’There is a sense of unpredic seedbombing, i people, liTT TTle ball will grow... if i

The seeds may germinate next week, or next spring or not at all!? But we still want to try it’’used as an efficient carrier seedbombs are for seeds that can be launched in areas that are physically challenging to access such as areas that are fenced off.

Because of their size and robustness they can simply be thrown over the fence and if your aim is good it will land vaguely where you want them to.

If you have planned your launch for a particular unreachable site and chosen plants that will thrive there e.g. for a shaded damp area, seedbombs provide the accuracy needed.

Seedbombs give the accuracy needed for long distance sowing

The compost and clay provides a blanket of protection for the seeds therefore minimising the risk of damage from harsh weather conditions and seedeaters such as mice and birds.

‘Wire fences, concrete walls, gravel and glass, old armchairs, tin cans and bikes with no wheels, odd shoes and old tV’s V’s could be replaced with, climbing plants and lush green leaves, flowers, fruit and seeds, birds, butterflies and buzzing bees, and the sound of people digging!’

BoxHead Why not launch them on your allotments or garden at home you could create an edible Seedbomb bed or make wildflower Seedbombs to attract bees for pollination of your food crops.

Launch in alleyways and path networks around your local City/Town/Village.

They can be used to create an explosion of colour on urban Green roofs or a shed or outbuilding in your garden.

Seedbombs are perfect for throwing responsibly out of train windows and can make railroads more attractive and journeys more enjoyable.

Almond butter truffles

Cacao Fudge

This is a great quick and easy recipe if you don’t have access to a power blender or are making this when you’re travelling. If I’m in a warm climate then I let the sun melt the cacao butter for me as I prepare the other ingredients. I’m sure that sunshine- charged raw chocolate is the finest chocolate in the world!

If you like soft fudge-like chocolate then you’ll love this! It melts in the mouth and is really easy to make.

I like making Cacao-fudge as gifts for the wonderful people that cross my path. After I’ve popped the chocolates out of the mould I put several pieces in a recycled paper box, lined with grease-proof paper.

The perfect raw chocolate gift!

(FRANCHET) J. WEN & FRODIN

The Castor Aralia is a large deciduous tree of broadly columnar to rounded habit, producing its small but profuse flowers in summer. The bark and stout shoots are often armed with sharp spines. It is the only species in the genus. In its native regions the leaves are eaten as salad and the bark is used for its medicinal properties. Trees with deeply lobed leaves are sometimes called var. maximowiczii.

Metapanax davidii is a small evergreen tree, sometimes shrubby, flowering in summer.

Although this species has been cultivated for more than 100 years it has had a long history of name changes and has been placed in seven different genera, at one time listed with a group of related species mainly from New Zealand. The currently accepted genus contains only two species.

SIMILAR SPECIES The Castor Aralia differs from maples (Acer), (Acer Acer), some of which have similarly shaped leaves, and from the sweetgums (Liquidambar)) in the spiny shoots, and in the very different flowers and fruits.

SIMILAR SPECIES The only other species in the genus, M. delavayi also from China and Vietnam, is shrubby and has the leaves distinctly cut into as many as five leaflets.

The leaves of the Castor Aralia are up to 10 in (25 cm) or more long and across, borne on a long petiole to 20 in (50 cm). They are alternate on long shoots but in clusters on short shoots, and dark green above, turning yellow or reddish in fall. The 5–7 lobes are triangular with a toothed margin, ending in a taper-pointed tip. The depth of lobing is very variable, and while most leaves have lobes that reach from one-third to two-thirds of the way to the base, some are cut almost to the base.

ANACARDIACEAE

ANACARDIACEAE

The leaves of Metapanax davidii very variable in shape and up to 8 in (20 cm) long and 2 across. They are leathery in texture and glossy dark green above, with 3 veins from the base; they can be simple and oblong to ovate, divided into 3 lobes or, more rarely, with 3 separate leaflets.

The Chian Turpentine Tree is a widely distributed, deciduous tree of spreading habit, flowering in spring. It is related to and hybridizes with the pistachio nut (Pistacia vera) for which it is used as an understock for grafting. All parts of the tree are aromatic and a turpentine can be obtained from the trunk. The bark is cut in June with an axe and the syrupy turpentine oozes from the trunk and is collected. This was particularly common on the island of Chios in the Aegean, which gives the tree its common name. An oil has been made from the young green fruits, which are collected in late summer and can be used to make cakes or as a substitute for butter. Plants that lack a terminal leaflet have been called P. palaestina, but intermediates occur.

RHUS CHINENSIS

CHINESE SUMACH MILLER

The Chinese Sumach is a deciduous spreading tree of loose, open habit, producing its showy large panicles of small white flowers in late summer. It is used as an ornamental tree, popular for its large flower clusters and fall color. This species has frequently, and incorrectly, been called Rhus javanica.

SIMILAR SPECIES The Chinese Sumach is distinct from most species in the genus because of its distinctly winged rachis. The North American Shining Sumach (R. copallinum)) also has this, but has more numerous leaflets and is shrubby.

SIMILAR SPECIES The Chian Terpentine Tree is sometimes confused with the Mastic tree (P. ( lentiscus), which is evergreen, usually a shrub, and has fewer leaflets. Hybrids between the two species are inter mediate. The more similar P. atlantica, atlantica from North Africa and western Asia, has a narrowly winged rachis.

Actual size

The leaves of the Chinese Sumach are pinnate with a winged rachis, and are up to 18 in (45 cm) long and 8 in (20 cm) across, borne on hairy shoots. Bright green above, paler or bluish green and hairy beneath, they turn yellow, orange, and red in fall. Each leaf comprises up to 13 ovate, toothed leaflets, which increase in size toward the end of the leaf.

Ko Shamo cock

ko shamo

T

he Ko Shamo is a type of small Japanese game fowl bred to thrive in close quarters. It’s a true bantam breed, noted for its unique split wings. The breed is also remarkably tall for its bantam size, and this height lends it a striking appearance.

The breed’s characteristic stance underscores its aggressive, strong temperament and it is known for its confident manner.

Related Breeds The Ko Shamo was developed in Japan and shares its genetic heritage with several other Japanese breeds such as the Nanking Shamo, the Malay and the Yokohama.

Size Bantam hen weight .... 800 g (1¾ lb) Bantam cock weight .... 1 kg (2¼ lb)

origin & Distribution

Features The Ko Shamo’s unusual profile is not easily confused. It has a tall, upright posture, and sparse, hard feathers. Its towering profile makes the neck appear especially long, and the muscular, lean body and breast are held perpendicular, rather than paralleln to the ground, ending in a small ‘prawn-like’ tail. The head is strong and high and the feathers short and hard.

The word shamo means ‘fighter’ in Japanese and reflects this bird’s Japanese heritage. Ko Shamos were developed in Japan, most likely from stock imported from Thailand in the 16th or 17th century. It reached Europe in the 1970s. Whilst uncommon, it is now kept by fanciers in Asia, Europe and North America.

Bred mostly for show, the Ko Shamo is too small to provide much meat, and hens lay only briefly; when they do, the white eggs are small and unremarkable. Suitable as pets, the breed does well in limited spaces, provided that multiple males are not housed in proximity, as males tend to fight with abandon.

Silkie hen

silkie

R

enowned for its looks and personality, the Silkie is a suave breed that carries itself with a lively, stylish posture. The fowl’s gentle, trusting nature and trainability makes it a popular pet breed. Despite its diminutive size, the Silkie is categorised as a large fowl light breed, and so is exhibited in large rather than bantam classes.

Related Breeds The Silkie descended from Asian stock, but its family tree is unknown.

Size Hen weight .... 1.4 kg (3 lb) Cock weight .... 1.8 kg (4 lb)

Origin & Distribution

Features The Silkie’s characteristic features are its silky, fur-like feathers and its puffy, hat-like crest. The breed features a broad body and short legs, mostly obscured by profuse plumage. The tail is short and tattered looking. All Silkies have the distinctive crest and some also exhibit a similarly puffed beard beneath their beak.

The British Poultry Standards lists five colour types: partridge, black, blue, gold and white (seen here).

Though known to hail from Asia, whether the Silkie originated from China, India or Japan remains in doubt. What is certain is that it is an old breed – legend holds that Marco Polo described observing Silkies during his Asian travels in the 13th century.

Today the breed is raised by fanciers throughout Europe, North America and Australia.

Asia

Use

I

Often kept as pets, the Silkie is purely an ornamental breed.

Silkie hens lay tinted or cream-coloured eggs and are so prized for their broody nature that they are sometimes used as foster mothers or crossed with other large breeds to increase the broodiness of these other types.

50 Tricks to Teach Your Dog Fall 2010

YOUR DOG

Almost every dog can master a few tricks above and beyond the basic sit/down/stay training.

50 Tricks to Teach Your Dog looks at a whole range of possibilities to teach your pet, and takes his or her size, character, and enthusiasms into account. Step-by-step photographs break each trick into easy stages, while helpful text explains how to build your pet’s trust in you.

o! ho Ac

TWO Praise her enthusiastically as she heads for the tissue box.

At this point, she may be ready to pull the tissue out on her own, or she may need some help with a verbal cue.

!!

THREE Make sure that the tissue is pulled out of the box to the point where it’s very easy for her to remove it. Give her plenty of encouragement as she pulls. As soon as she’s got it free of the box, call her back to you.

Mind Games | Wind Around

ONE Place a tissue box on a low, stable surface.

Pull a tissue halfway out of it, and practice by saying “Take it! Achoo!” while showing it to your dog. When she’s happy to pull a tissue from the box (and this is probably the hardest part of the trick, so practice patiently until she’s got it out), back off a step or two and repeat “Take it! Achoo!” Your dog will take the cue to collect the tissue.

Caught a Cold

T

his is a great trick to show off when you have company. Cued by a loud, theatrical sneeze, your

dog will run off to collect you a tissue from the box handily situated on a low surface nearby and run back to you with it firmly held in her mouth. True, it’s likely to be a bit damp and squishy by the time it’s “handed” to you, but no matter, this is so cute that it always wins a big round of applause. Practice it until she gets it perfect every time before you show off to your friends. Learn the trick stage by stage; it’s quite complex, so be prepared

TWo She’ll probably walk through the cones happily, but she may not immediately grasp the turn around each cone to make the complete figure-eight. Hold your hand/treat quite low and guide her clearly as she takes the turn after passing through the cones.

Big and Small dogS Suit the distance between the cones to the size of your dog; the bigger the dog, the more space she’ll need for her turns. As she becomes confident in her turns, you can move the cones slightly closer together to make the “weave” a little tougher.

Teaching Tip Some dogs seem to steady the tissue box with a paw naturally. However, if your pet knocks the box over and finds it hard to angle, use duct tape to stick it to the surface you’ve placed it on; she’ll find it easier if all she has to do is focus on pulling out the tissue.

for short, frequent sessions while you’re teaching it.

94

oNE Arrange two small, light cones as shown (you can buy these in large sports or pet stores). If your dog is happy to follow a finger, use that as her guide; if she needs a bit more incentive, use a treat as a lure for the first few tries. Hold up the finger or treat alongside the first cone and say “Wind around!”

Wind Around

THrEE Continue to guide her back through the gap and around the other cone. Repeat “Wind around!” if you need to, and if she doesn’t seem to get the idea right away, you can walk just ahead of her and take the turns yourself, too.

I

f your pet is a natural “spinner”—that’s a dog who loves to run in circles and chase her tail when she’s

excited—you’ll probably find that she’s a natural for weaving routines. This is a mini version of the weaving trial on a real agility course. If she turns out to like walking a figure-eight shape, you can add a few more mini cones to extend her options—although you may have to move outdoors into the yard to extend her “course”!

90

four As she completes the figure-eight, praise her and give her a treat. Take another couple of turns.

Eventually, she should be happy to make the turns on only a verbal cue.

During the first trimester (the first 12 weeks) you may have nothing to show for this (except morning sickness, moodswings, headaches, total fatigue and teenage spots), but inside your uterus, it is all systems go. This is a crucial time for his or her development and your body is pumping out hormones and extra blood cells to make it happen. By the end of this trimester your baby will have gone from a microscopic mulberryshaped dot to a perfectly formed little person about as long as your thumb.

Scientists may poo-poo the idea of Baby Brain, but we can only assume they have never had a baby. Gradually you will realise that there are some life events the smarter bits of the brain just can’t handle, and that they should be quiet and make space for the relic brain to do its job.

his information-packed volume provides an accessible guide to the archetypal symbols used in the art and design of different cultures. By taking a regional approach, it not only explores the origins and meaning of each symbol, but also invites the reader to appreciate the artistic style of symbols within cultures and to cross-reference them to the style of similar motifs elsewhere in the world.

Beginning with an introduction to symbolism and its use in art, the book then explores the depiction of symbols continent by continent. Each chapter shares the same thematic approach, enabling the reader to compare regional approaches to representing sacred figures, identity, symbolic systems and allegory.

Beautiful colour photographs set the symbols in context, and illustrations enable the reader to visualise everything from Egyptian hieroglyphs to Western heraldry.

Authoritative but accessible, this handbook will appeal to anyone who has ever been intrigued by the meaning and style of an Egyptian ankh, an exquisite Hindu mandala or a magical pentagram.

The 50 most thought-provoking economic theories, each explained in half a minute

Editor Donald Marron

Editor Donald Marron is visiting professor at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute in Washington DC, where he teaches public finance and microeconomics. He has had a diverse career as a professor, consultant, and entrepreneur, and from 2002 to 2009 served in various senior positions advising Congress and the White House.

30-SECOND ECONOMICS

The 50 most thought-provoking economic theories, each explained in half a minute

30-Second Economics takes the top 50 economic theories, and explains them to the general reader in half a minute, using nothing more than two pages, 300 words, and one picture. Economics will suddenly seem a lot more fun than the economy, and make a lot more sense, and along the way you’ll meet the founding fathers of modern economics such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Alfred Marshall. From Marxism to Mercantilism, plus everything in between, this is the ultimate “crash” course in economic theory.

Keynesian Economics, Free Market Capitalism, Monetarism, Game Theory, and The Invisible Hand? Sure, you know what they all mean.

ART DIRECTOR Lisa McCormick mccormick@ivy-group.co.uk Ivy Contract is like a hired gun; we sell design and publishing expertise to customers at fixed prices. “Outsourcing” can be an attractive option for clients wanting to control costs or increase their output without shouldering the burden of more overheads. We accept commissions from publishers on agreed budgets, taking on whichever part of the project they decide to sub-contract out, and we never let them down.

We’re well established in the industry and our list of satisfied customers and extensive portfolio is testament to both our expertise and our affordability.
