Porcupines in My Pants and Other Craziness
by Anupama RamanujamLife's going to be easy...said no one ever.Especially for a PlayStation-loving twelve-year-old in a futuristic city. Being twelve matters. Because that's when I am packed off by the Council on a hardcore, muscle-numbing strugglethon across the five Thinais - the treacherous hills, fatiguing fields, muddy mangroves, dry desert lands and dense forests - to come out shining...or whining. The latter is more my style. It's me against Nature. Me versus wild animals. Me against who-knows-what-lurks. Me versus Me. Get the picture? How this will help me grow up and glow up all in one go, I don't know. But I'm about to find out. So are you!
Porfirio Diaz
by Paul GarnerThe difficulties encountered in the management of contrasting political cultures can be clearly identified in the long political career of Porfirio Diaz, President of Mexico from 1876 to 1880, and subsequently, without interruption, from 1884 until his forced resignation in 1911. Diaz succeeded in manipulating Mexican political life for the best part of three decades. He thus holds the record, and the dubious honour, of being the longest-serving constitutional leader during the often painful evolution of the Mexican state since 1821, the year in which 300 years of Spanish colonial rule formally came to an end (1521-1821).

She's always wanted to focus more on her art, and the related competition (and grand prize) would be a perfect way to end the summer.
