Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes．One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color．They do this for many reasons．Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group． 1 Let's look at some different examples of body painting．
2 Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red．This ceremony take place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it．The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive．
3 To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment．The Masai men also use this white to show that they are on longer boys and are considered adults．
One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa．Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men． 4 Then they add white and black circles and lines．Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful． 5 ．

In 1990 a report was published about what the earth might be like 20 years from then on. 71 According to the report,the picture of the earth in the year 2010 is not a pleasant one. 72 The population could be as large as 6300 million,almost 2150 million more than in 1985.More people would move into cities ,especially cities in developing countries.Cities like Cairo and Jakarta probably would each have 15 million by then.
