He is better at navigating, she remembers where the keys are: Conference highlights cognitive differences between men and women

The battle of the sexes has raged for centuries and will likely never end.
But at least now, scientific research can shed light on some of the biological and physiological differences between men and women.
The British Psychological Society Annual Conference, held last month, highlighted some of the differences in cognitive abilities between sexes.

For instance, studies show that men have better spatial awareness skills, whereas women are stronger with verbal fluency and greater memory for objects.
With these traits generally replicated across cultures and nations, it indicates a biological origin in nature.
Diane Halpern, a professor of psychology at Claremont McKenna College in California, spoke at the London-based conference, hoping to correct the belief popularised in the 1980s that men and women’s brains are wired almost identically, and it is culture and nature that causes difference.

…People love multitasking – but sadly BOTH sexes are terrible at it, not just men
During her speech, as reported by Live Science, she said: ‘We do socialise our boys and girls differently, but the contribution of biology is not zero.’
Some key differences between men and women believed to be biological in nature include men having a stronger ability to think of objects in 3D, helping them to navigate. This difference has even been spotted in studies involving babies of only three months old.
However women are ‘better at remembering where things are’ and are more likely to navigate via landmarks rather than the generally male trait of navigating by sense of direction.

Men and women both have different ways to get from A to B – a trait that seems to transcend culture

Some perceived differences between the sexes are down to cultural pressure – for instance, Halpern said, there is a belief that men are better at mathematical problems and women are better at reading and writing, but these differences tend to fade in more gender-equal societies.
There is also widespread criticism about standardised testing being biased towards one sex or the other.
If gender is not an issue for society anymore, the question was posed: Why are 90 per cent of company managers male, and 90 per cent of secretaries female?
Halpern said that while women do most of the ‘caretaking’ jobs, such as childraising or helping the elderly, the inequality will remain. But she added that, on the other side, society was losing many talented men on the domestic, caregiving front.
She added: ‘We can’t have equality in work, if we don’t have equality in the home.’

The thought of tossing one’s cap in the air and being surrounded by a sea of fellow graduates is a scene many have envisioned since their adolescence. As children, most couldn’t stand the thought of waiting until they could venture into the “real world,” and for many college seniors, and soon-to-be graduates, the time has come for them to do just that.
Stepping into the “real world” is an exciting experience, yet it may also be slightly daunting. It is up to the student to make the most of each event, and not get overwhelmed by new experiences.
“The biggest thing I’m worried about in relation to entering the workforce is all of the adjusting I will have to do,” said senior Matty Budesa.
Adjusting to the workweek, and giving up the relaxed schedule of college classes may not seem to be the most ideal, but it is important to stay efficient and timely with work.
Time management plays a big role with every new journey. Everyone’s heard it going into high school, followed by their step into college, and the same applies for the working world. Time management is key to staying on top of work, and can prevent stress.
“Obviously, a college lifestyle where you can some days sleep in until 10:00 a.m. or so is quite different from dressing professionally and being at work by 9:00 a.m. every morning,” said Budesa. “While I think I’m prepared skills-wise, I definitely worry about the schedule adjustments and potential lack of free time.”
Mistakes will be made, whether directly related to your career, or life in general. When situations occur, it is crucial to not let errors beat you down.
Successful Harry Potter novelist J.K. Rowling, who is the first writer to make billion, is a prime example. Rowling hit a few roadblocks along her journey.
Prior to unleashing the world of Harry Potter to the public, and while she was still in the premiere writing stages, Rowling opened up about being diagnosed with clinical depression and contemplating suicide in an interview with The New Yorker. The idea of the soul-sucking dementors within the Harry Potter series actually came from her illnesses. Rowling also signed up for welfare due to her poor economic status.
In an advice column for new grads published by Forbes Magazine, Rowling stated that failure become the foundation of her success.
“Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged,” said Rowling. “And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”
Throughout the journey new grads are about to take, it is important to remember that they mail fail, but that failure doesn’t define them.
Although having a career may trigger thoughts of “work and no play,” happiness and fun is something to always keep on the mind throughout life’s endeavors.
“One thing that I’ve kept in mind throughout college and hope to continue with is a motto of ‘staying fun,’ which seems kind of cliché, but overall I don’t want to stop having fun just because I’ve moved to the professional world,” said Budesa. “I also realistically know that it will be a different type of environment, but I think as long as I remember this motto I can maintain some sanity and stay young at heart for a bit longer.”

the best bacon butties in derbyshire…………Matlock Bath in Derbyshire, became an instant tourist resort for the wealthy and influencial, when warm springs, at a constant temperature of 68 degrees fahrenheit, were discovered back in 1698. The upheavals in Europe in the later part of the 18th century onwards discouraged the wealthy from making the Grand Tour and they diverted their attention to places like the Peak District. Matlock Bath was a beneficary of this new era in travel.
A new turnpike road,connecting from Cromford, was built in 1818 which made Matlock Bath more accessible, and in the next 30 years, high society brought gentility and elegance to this beautiful area with its dramatic scenery and river. It then slowly began to lose its aristocratic ambience and began to cater for the new middle classes, who built their homes here, some precariously perched high on the hillside, and their appearance range from gothic to swiss style.
The 1840`s opened up Matlock Bath to the ordinary tourist, with the arrival of the railway. They came `en masse` to see the sights and commercialism gradually took over, rather crudely and unrestrained at first.
The last 30 years have seen enormous changes in Matlock Bath. Roads have been widened and now there are more souvenir shops, amusement arcades, cafes and other food outlets, and car and coach parks.The main road that runs through the town is split in two parts known as South Parade and North Parade.
There are no ancient places of worship here, only 2 victorian churches.The Church of the Holy Trinity was built in 1873 to accomodate the growing number of visitors and residents alike, and the Chapel of St John the Baptist was built in 1897, high up above the village to a design by Guy Dawber.
High Tor is a broad 390ft high limestone cliff that rises sheer from the river Derwent`s eastern bank.It looks quite formidable but it is a popular climbing cliff. The grounds below are more inviting with refreshment facilities, picnic areas, childrens playground, wooded walks and 2 caves that are actual worked out lead mines. On the ground floor, is also the pavillion, which houses a tourist information centre and the Peak District Mining Museum. The museum tells the story of of lead mining in the area from Roman times to present day. The geology of the area, mining and smelting processes, the quarrying and the people who worked in the industry are all illustrated with static and moving exhibits and an audio visual display. The museum also houses a water pressure pumping engine found in nearby Winster.Adjacent to the museum is Temple Mine, where there is a self guided tour, illustrating geology, fossilization and mining technigues.
On the western side of the gorge are the Heights of Abraham. For many years this slope was mined for lead but in the late 18th century it was developed for visitors `taking the waters`. The Heights of Abraham are today as popular as ever and provide amenities to suit almost everyone. There is a coffee shop, licensed restaurant, picnic area, all taking advantage of the superb view. There is also a victorian Prospect Tower built in 1844, 2 show caves,Rutland Cavern and the Great Masson Cavern, nature trail,landscaped gardens and childrens play area.
Lower down on Temple road is a model railway which is a reconstruction of the Midland Railways Company tracks through the most scenic parts of the Peak District, a real mecca for rail enthusiasts. Also amongst the dramatic setting is Gullivers Kingdom, a theme park capable of entertaining whole families. The park is terraced and each terrace is devoted to a different theme, like `Old England`, Fantasyland, The Wildwest, etc, and has over 50 rides and activities.
The aquarium occupies what was once the Matlock Bath Hydro. It still contains its fine stone staircase and large thermal pool, though now the pool is home to a large collection of different types of carp. The old , upstairs consulting rooms have tanks full of native, tropical and marine fish. Also here, is a Hologram Gallery which exhibits 3 dimensional pictures using laser technology and a Petrifying Well where objects dipped into the well acquire a hard coat of lime and look as if they have been turned to stone.
The top of the Heights of Abraham can be reached by a trek up a steep road but a cable car travels to the top from Matlock Bath railway station, where the Whistlestop Countryside Centre can be found. This houses a free exhibit of wildlife and a shop and acts as an information and education centre.
Matlock Bath Illuminations and Venetian Nights are an event that started with the celebration of the the Diamond Jubilee in 1897 and features the decorated and illuminated boats that are produced by the members of the Matlock Bath Venetian Boat Builders Association and rowed by them each Saturday and Sunday evening during the Illuminations season. The Arkwright Cup, donated by Sir Richard Arkwright in 1903, is awarded to the winning design and the Boat Parade continues to feature one ‘candle-lit’ boat – in the traditional Victorian style.
The river banks are adorned with illuminated displays on various themes and the cliffs around are flood lit. Firework displays are also given on certain nights throughout the illuminations season.
In 2006 the illuminations will be switched on every evening between 2nd Sept and 28th Oct. Venetian Nights are on at weekends and the dates for the firework displays are: 30th September 14th October and 28th October 2006.
Attractions around Matlock Bath
Life in a Lens, Matlock Bath
Primarily dedicated to presenting the history of popular photography from its invention in 1839 to more recent times, it has a strong Victorian flavour and is presented as an informative entertainment for people of all ages and walks of life. Something here for anyone with a natural interest and curiosity – the museum has a true commitment to preserving history and presenting it in an accessible way.
The museum is situated in our Victorian building dating from 1861 (shown below), which we renovated especially for the purpose and we have encouraged a Victorian ambiance throughout. Many visitors enjoy this aspect for its own sake and we have a growing display of mannequins in vintage dress from the Victorian and Edwardian periods to add a special depth to the atmosphere.
Life in a Lens has proven very popular among the more discerning visitors to the scenic, historic and currently undervalued village of Matlock Bath – once known as the ‘Gem of the Peak’.
The museum have now opened ‘The Victorian Teashop’ and a small museum gift shop in the completely renovated first floor of the building to give visitors an even better experience alongside the magical environment of the now well established ‘Life in a Lens’ museum. The museum itself is open most days and we are currently serving teas, coffees cakes sandwiches and ice cream etc. in the teashop.
