What do autistic spectrum disorders tell us about typical psychological development? Francesca Happé, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the Institute of Psychiatry (King's College London) famously devised the Strange Stories test in which she established that people with ASD had difficulty making sense of ambiguity, and of understanding that people don't always say what they mean. In her current work, a sample of which is filmed for this discussion, she has devised simple animations which test 'mind-reading' in children with autism, conduct disorders and typical development. In this discussion novelist Kathy Lette, author of The Boy Who Fell to Earth explores the autistic and the 'normal' mind with Francesca Happé and pioneering psychiatrist Sir Michael Rutter. Neil Vickers, of the King's Centre for the Humanities and Health, who has written on Coleridge and the Doctors, chairs.

ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability South Asia advocated the cause for focus on urban water sector management through Integrated Urban Water Management at the Budapest Water Summit in November 2016. ICLEI South Asia, the key implementer of the European Commission funded project on Adopting Integrated Urban Water Management in Indian Cities (AdoptIUWM), presented the project activities during a session on "Arteries of a living settlement: water for all in urban planning" at the Civil Forum.
Achievements under the AdoptIUWM pilot projects for revival of traditional pond in Jaisalmer (Rajasthan), recharge of abandoned borewells in Solapur, Maharashtra and a school sanitation project in Kishangarh, Rajasthan were highlighted. The presentation was appreciated by the participants and a need for replication of such initiatives for achieving sustainable development was reflected at the event. Subsequent to the presentation, ICLEI South Asia also advocated the focus on IUWM at the Closing Planery discussions. The Budapest Water Summit Statement for the Civil Forum released in January 2017 has endorsed this focus on urbanization and IUWM:
"Urbanization is one of the fastest ongoing transformations in society therefore, robust planning of urban water infrastructure, preserving supporting natural habitats and an Integrated Urban Water Management are important parts of a resilient system providing safe environment for millions".

|McCune & Ashe take sprint car wins as Republic goes big time
by Andrew Kunas
REPUBLIC, Wash. - The remote northeast Washington town of Republic was in a major buzz as the area dirt track, Eagle Track Raceway, saw perhaps its biggest weekend of racing ever as the sprint cars came to town for two days of racing action in the first leg of the 2016 Thunder in the Valley Sprint Car Series, organized by local racer Darren Smith.
Eagle Track Raceway had hosted a handful of sprint cars a number of years back, but never the number that came this weekend. The 18 different cars that showed up over two days was by far more than they had ever seen. When the dust settled, Jeremy McCune on Saturday and Bud Ashe on Sunday were main event winners and local fans were leaving Eagle Track Raceway happy both days.
With one car out after getting wadded up in Friday practice, 15 sprint cars took to the 3/8-mile clay oval on Saturday. It turned out to be a day of domination for Shepherd, Montana's Jeremy McCune, who won his heat race and dash, and then led the main event from start to finish for a clean sweep of the afternoon.
Driving his own No. 0J machine, which was clearly the superior car on this weekend, McCune started on the pole of the main event as a result of his win in his dash. McCune was never threatened as he easily motored away from everyone and led every lap for the win in his first visit to Eagle Track Raceway.
The feature was originally scheduled for 30 laps, but was plagued by yellow flags - seven total. The seventh caution came with 20 laps completed and with the cars having run several laps under yellow and darkness starting to settle in, officials went with a green-white-checkered finish, resulting in a 22-lap race.
Billings, Mont. driver Roger Cummings ran second early in his No. 00 before being passed by McCune's son Damon. Damon's No. 72 was no match for his father's car, but still finished a strong second place after not racing at all in 2015. Despite a spinout on Lap 7 that brought out the second caution, Sedro-Woolley, Wash.'s Rodger Oudman took advantage of further attrition and mistakes by other teams and managed to drive his way back to finish third in his No. 7o.
Snohomish, Wash.'s Brett McGhie and Colville, Wash.'s Chris Ochs finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
Jeremy and Damon McCune won Heat races 1 and 2, respectively. Jeremy then won the A-Dash, which featured the top three finishers of each race and earned the pole for the feature. Cummings won the B-Dash, which featured the drivers who finished fourth through sixth in the heats, and wound up outside of the elder McCune for the main.
A special match car series run in memory of racing mom Carol Smith, mother of driver Darren Smith, was run following the dashes. Ten different drivers took part and drew for their order. Two cars started and the winner of the single lap match race would face another car, and so forth, until all participants have come out. T.J. Hartman of Puyallup, Wash. was on a run, having won five straight rounds, before Jeremy McCune came on and eliminated him. McCune would last eliminate Johnny Nelson of Great Falls, Mont. to win a $300 bonus.
Not able to come on Saturday, Concrete, Wash.'s Bud Ashe made the tow with his No. 57 car on Sunday morning to visit Eagle Track Raceway for the first time, and he left a winner after a late race dual with Damon McCune that excited race fans in attendance.
Jeremy McCune, who was slated to start on the pole again, agreed to a challenge from the track and fans and elected to start at the back of the field in an effort to go after a little more bonus, while raising some money for the track itself in the process. This opened the door for Ashe, who then inherited the pole and would lead the first 23 laps.
Damon McCune and western Washington visitor Michael Bollinger's No. 20 machine battled for second while Jeremy McCune patiently worked his way through the field, getting up to fourth by the tenth circuit. Bollinger, also a Sunday morning arrival, challenged Ashe for the lead as they weaved through traffic, but Ashe kept the lead as Bollinger got caught in a bad spot behind a slower car. As the top three stayed close while working their way around slower cars, Jeremy McCune was coming and it eventually became a four-car battle.
Damon McCune got by Bollinger for second as they entered Turn 3 on Lap 15. The senior McCune then caught Bollinger and passed him on the low side going into Turn 1 on Lap 18. The next lap he passed his son for second going low into Turn 3. While that was happening, Ashe was able to put some distance, and a couple of lapped cars, between himself and his pursuers.
Disaster struck on Lap 20 for Jeremy McCune when those lapped cars, Jason Cote and Don Kynoch, got togther in Turn 3 and McCune was unable to avoid, getting collected and suffering enough damage to force him to the pit area, ending his bid for another sweep and the bonus money. Bollinger was also involved and forced to go to the work area.
Ashe and Damon McCune battled for the lead following the Lap 20 restart. Ashe made a mistake and drifted high coming out of Turn 4, allowing Damon to get underneath and establish himself as the frontrunner on Lap 24. Rodger Oudman's spinout on Lap 27 brought out the third and final stoppage to the event and put Ashe and McCune back side by side for the final double file restart. Ashe took advantage and shot back ahead.
The younger McCune fought back and the two cars even banged wheels as they entered Turn 1 with just a couple of laps left. Ashe emerged out front and held off McCune for the win, and Damon had his second runner-up finish in as many days. While disappointed in not winning, Damon McCune still called the late duel with Ashe "a lot of fun."
Bollinger took advantage of the last caution and a couple of other cars suddenly dropping out with mechanical problems and came back to finish third. McGhie finished fourth for the second straight day and Kalispell, Mont.'s Leroy Brush scored a Top 5 finish.
Ashe and Jeremy McCune took heat race victories and McCune would top Ashe in the A-Dash. Damon McCune won the B-Dash.
Jeremy McCune chose to sit out Sunday's Carol Smith Match Race Shootout, but 12 participants still took to the track for the series of one-lap match races. Damon McCune and Darren Smith came out first and it was Damon who would win the first round, and then four more matches before Bollinger came on the track and eliminated him. Bollinger would win a second round and until Oudman ousted him.
Oudman himself won a second match before 15-year-old Alberta driver Jason Cote, who had earlier rolled over in his heat race, came back on the track with his repaired car and knocked him off. Fans were excited to see the youngster have a shot at the bonus money after his earlier misfortune, but the final driver, 73-year-old Don Kynoch of Alberta, came out and stole Cote's thunder, besting his fellow Canadian in the final round to claim the $300 bonus.
Jeremy McCune's misfortune in the main event was Eagle Track Raceway's gain. The nearly $400 that the fans had put up would have been split had McCune won Sunday's feature from the back of the field. Instead, the track now gets to keep all of it and it will go towards the funds track management is scrounging up to make safety improvements to the facility, including the catch fence they plan to install around the race track in the fall.
Darren Smith and wife Tami, who live in the small town of Curlew, about 25 miles from Eagle Track Raceway, worked tirelessly to put together the two-day sprint car special. Several businesses in and around Republic, including gas stations, coffee stands, restaurants, bars, hotels and general stores signed up as sponsors for the races. Most of the sprint cars had temporary local sponsors taped on their cars and many of the teams themselves visited those businesses during their stay in Republic.
Aside from Smith, the next closest drivers to Republic were Chris Ochs from Colville (an hour away past Sherman Pass) and Rob Matherly from the Spokane area, about two hours. A few cars, including Ashe, came from western Washington. Two came from Alberta, Canada and about eight cars came from Montana. It was almost all long distance visitors to Eagle Track Raceway this weekend.
And it will happen again. Eagle Track Raceway will welcome back the sprint cars for the second leg of the 2016 Thunder in the Valley Sprint Car Series on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, July 2nd and 3rd.

During the 2017/2018 budget process, Councilmember Claudia Balducci successfully advocated for, and the Council approved, $2 million for a future aquatics center on the Eastside.

Budget Talk: Crossing the Finish Line
In my last blog post, I described the County's budget process as feeling like diving into the deep end of the pool. In the past three weeks, my colleagues on the Budget Leadership Team (Budget Chair Dave Upthegrove, Rod Dembowski, and Kathy Lambert) and I have swum the length of the pool and it's time to assess how well we did. Throughout the collaborative process with my colleagues, I weighed each proposal against my personal commitment to provide core County services efficiently and well, to respond to the needs of residents, as we heard directly from them during our public outreach, and to respond to the most urgent needs of the day. Continue reading
Budget Talk: Diving Deep
The County's budget process can feel like diving into the deep end of a very deep pool, but it is almost time to start swimming. In week two of our budget panels, we are reviewing everything the 731-page, $11B proposed County budget contains, what it does and what it doesn't do.
In some ways, King County is like a huge conglomerate, with widely different lines of business, including and courts and jails, roads and transit, public health and human services, elections and tax assessments, and utilities – all on top of providing the full range of local government services to the 240,000+ residents of unincorporated King County. And, as I touched upon last week, our funding sources and allowed legal uses are even more complex than our government structure and web of services.
Budget Talk: What I'm Hearing
Last week, we began our review of the $11 billion Proposed Budget for the 2017/2018 biennium. Throughout our process, the Council will evaluate hundreds of proposals across the government, from increasing the property tax levy supporting the County's walk-on ferry system, to what new behavioral health programs to fund, to adding 300,000 services hours to Metro Transit, among many other issues.

Peter O'Neil wants Australian forgo Bali, instead to Kokopo
"Many of you will be glad to know that Kokopo is only three and a half hours from Brisbane. You don't all have to go to Bali as the only tourism destination for Australians. In fact the government is now expanding the runway at airport facilities so that we can have direct flights from Brisbane and Cairns, direct flights from the Narita and direct flight from Beijing."
His plea comes just as Australian holiday thrill-seekers silently began a campaign to boycott Bali as a tourist stop last month because of fears of reprisals and being caught in drug trafficking scandals – in the midst of a crackdown by Indonesia's new Joko Widodo government to root out drug crimes associated with foreign travellers.
Two Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran – referred as infamous Bali Nine leaders for their conviction in drug smuggling in 2005 - face execution by a firing squad in Indonesia once all legal avenues are exhausted in freeing them on 29 April.
The Prime Minster also highlighted opportunities in business areas outside of the resources sector and a focus on strengthening agricultural production and expanding the tourism industry in the nation:
"There are great opportunities for new investments and, of course, our old partners who are already investing in the country. Not only in the mining and oil and gas sector, or in the construction sector, but also in other areas like tourism and agriculture.
"Our government is now partnering private investors in major agricultural projects throughout the country.
"We are able to expand on the oil palm industry that we have. We are entering into an arrangement with a private developer, with the Government as a partner, to develop the large Sepik plains which will be converted into a palm oil growing area.
"That will give greater opportunities to our people within that area where there are very poor communities.
"I can say that similar structures have been contemplated for the coffee industry, our rubber and tea and the other commodities that we need to increase production - because we think that we have some of the best available organic agricultural potential anywhere in the world. Because of our fertile soil and abundance of rain and water and sun in the areas we are able to achieve output many other countries cannot.[PNC]

To make this milestone steps memorable and special, families can include a Spiritual Birthday which focuses on the child's date of salvation and a family celebration at and following the child's baptism event. Parents are encouraged to invite family, friends, and those who spiritually influence the child.

From goodreads: Blue Echohawk doesn't know who she is. She doesn't know her real name or when she was born. Abandoned at two and raised by a drifter, she didn't attend school until she was ten years old. At nineteen, when most kids her age are attending college or moving on with life, she is just a senior in high school. With no mother, no father, no faith, and no future, Blue Echohawk is a difficult student, to say the least. Tough, hard and overtly sexy, she is the complete opposite of the young British teacher who decides he is up for the challenge, and takes the troublemaker under his wing.
This is the story of a nobody who becomes somebody. It is the story of an unlikely friendship, where hope fosters healing and redemption becomes love. But falling in love can be hard when you don't know who you are. Falling in love with someone who knows exactly who they are and exactly why they can't love you back might be impossible.
Before I go into this review full force…YOU. MUST. READ. THIS. BOOK. There, I feel so much better.
"I keep wishing you had a better life…a different life. But a different life would have made you a different Blue." He looked at me then. "And that would be the biggest tragedy of all."
I'm not going to lie and say that I haven't been in a reading slump because I have. I've read some good books since the start of the year but very few have stayed with me. After a while, when you read romance they can seem all the same without any uniqueness to them. Well written and well thought-out books can be difficult to find and sometimes even go unnoticed, which is mind-boggling. I've been on the hunt for a story that's different but yet I wanted this book to have everything I dream about; complexity, a profound love story, deep in meaning, rich in characters and unpredictable. Truthfully, I was beyond determined to find the book I was destined to read. I was on a mission to find that book that would make me stalk the author and be forever indebted to her for writing an amazing story. I was on a mission to find that book that would sit proudly on my favorite's shelf along others I adored. Mission accomplished: I found it!!!
I felt broken too, but nobody could tell.
The unlikely friendship that is forged between Wilson and Blue is incredibly heartwarming. Amy Harmon takes her time in building that relationship and nothing about it is overt, yet it's there because you can feel it through her words.
"The beauty of that poem is that everybody can relate, because we all feel like nobody. We all feel like we are on the outside, looking in. We all feel scattered. But I think it's that self-awareness that actually makes us somebody. And you are definitely somebody, Blue. You may not be a work of art, but you are definitely a piece of work."
Blue is the heroine I felt an immediate connection to and there was nothing about her that I didn't love. She's admirable, she's resilient and she's beautiful from the inside and out. I'm not sure that I've ever felt this strongly about a heroine before but it's a wonderful feeling. What can I say about Wilson? Who doesn't love an Englishman who is kind, thoughtful, supportive and beyond intelligent? Neither Blue nor Wilson are perfect but they made sense together and their journey together will squeeze your heart like a vise.
"God? I'm ugly inside. And it's not my fault. You know it's not. I'll take responsibility for some of it, but you've gotta own up to your part, too. Nobody saved me. Nobody gave a shit. Nobody came to my rescue." I gulped, feeling sorrow in my throat, making it hurt to swallow, but it was pain I'd been swallowing for a long time and I forced it down. "So I'm asking you. Can you take it away? Can you take away the ugliness?"
A Different Blue is a slow building, character driven and powerful story that will move you from the start because it's filled with such heartache and beauty that it's poetic. The writing is absolutely breathtaking and I found myself highlighting passages because the words were insanely beautiful and thought-provoking. I'm at a loss for words because my review doesn't do this book justice at all. I wish I knew words beautiful enough to describe all the feelings and thoughts I have about this story.
"Once upon a time there was a little blackbird, pushed from the nest, unwanted. Discarded. Then a Hawk found her and swooped her up and carried her away, giving her a home in his nest, teaching her to fly. But one day the Hawk didn't come home and the little bird was alone again, unwanted. She wanted to fly away."

Dreaming of the Breaking Dawn
Post-eclipse; Bella and Edward and Bella's first demand. Lots of teasing, a little turn of the tables, and then...well, you will have to read it... The became much more than I originally meant for it to...it has become a fluffy story of the last days of Bella's life in Forks.... COMPELTE
I don't usually like post-eclipse stories, I would prefer to write Edward's point of view from something I have already read, but this just came to me. I have it rated Adult now, but I really don't think it will ever get to that point, I want to keep it in the same voice and I could never see Stephenie writing anything graphic...plus, the story isn't there yet...they may not...=o)
4. Situation
Rating 5/5 Word Count 1517 Review this Chapter
It was a great way to start the day, wrapped around my husband as he ran through the trees; feeling him under me, his breath never heavy or lost. It had been my suggestion today. I cannot even remember why this had bothered me so much the first time. It felt free, unreal, like so much in my life now.
My heart fluttered at the thought of where we were going, what today meant. This trip seemed to take longer today than normal. I guess that was my nerves creeping back.
Edward was prepared...more than necessary really, though I appreciated the blankets; one to sit on, one in case I was cold. I would be grateful for that one later I thought slightly embarrassed.
"You have to eat Bella. I knew you wouldn't have eaten breakfast since I wasn't there this morning, since you do not even leave our room if I am out." He argued when I reminded him we did not come to our meadow to have lunch. He shoved the sandwich he had brought me across the blanket. He was just stalling.
"I'm fine Edward. I don't have to eat three times a day!" Enough of this, I knew what I was going to do.
I, quickly, though only as quick as a human can, pulled myself over to Edward and sat in his lap, leaning my head against his shoulder. Closing the small distance that had separated us made me less anxious. We sat like this for some time. I let my mind wonder, thinking about everything that was happening; everything that had happened since I met Edward.
Love had happened; danger, hurt, death (not literally, but almost), worry, a wedding, a family. All of these things have lead to this moment. I appreciated that, all of it had to happen for us to be this happy, even the hurt, I knew that now. I will love him for eternity, I hope he realized that. I hope he wouldn't grow tired of me. No, he said that it isn't possible, I have to believe that. We had vowed.
The thought of our vows brought my mind to our wedding. Emmett had done a good job, verses about our souls being bound for eternity, our lives intertwined; only me and the Cullen's truly understanding the enormity of his words. Edward made these vows to me again that evening, reciting every word with perfect recollection, assuring me that he meant every word but also assuring me that Emmett had found them or wrote them himself without help from Edward. Emmett had been through a lot of weddings in his time so I knew he had a lot to draw from.
"I could sit her forever..." I finally said, realizing I had been holding my breath. How long had we been sitting here?
"Me too" he replied. I felt his mouth against my ear as he kissed me gently. I was slightly surprise he was being so intimate, he was almost dead set against this, but he knew he had promised. He was not going to go back on the promise. I leaned my head back as he kissed me.
When he reached my lips he spun me around in his lap and kissed my hard. Before I realized it he was under me, pulling me close, his hands on my waist. I moved under his arms, my intentions made clear by my body. I pressed against him as hard as I could. I felt his body respond to me and his arms tighten against my waist, just a little too tight, nothing new, but enough I had to say something. "Too tight Edward," I smiled, glad he was losing himself a little in the moment.
It was fast, but I saw a look of worry cross his beautiful face and then his body stiffened beneath me. He must have misunderstood, he thought he was hurting me, this was his worse fear. I tried to soothe him, "Don't be silly! You, Alice, Emmett, Jac-, so many of you vampires, have tried to crush me with a hug!" I hadn't meant to say Jacobs name, he just always came to mind when bone breaking hugs were involved. I saw what I thought was hurt in his eyes; I hadn't meant to hurt him, not today, not ever.
After a pause, he rolled to his side bringing me gently to the blanket facing him. "Bella, we were just kissing, something we have done hundreds of times, and I lost my wits," - about time! - "what happens when we are doing something we have not done before, something that I want so badly?" He couldn't want it as badly as I did. I didn't say this to him, it might hurt him again.
I searched his eyes to see if he felt that he had tried and failed. I didn't see resolve so I pulled his face to mine and whispered, "Guess we will find out." I was brave today; I wanted this more than anything at the moment.
For a moment he seemed to relax beside me. He pulled me into a soft embrace and slowly pushed my back to the blanket and hovered above me, barley making contact with my body. I reached around his neck, wrapping my fingers in his copper hair and pulled him against me.
The kiss was deep and felt dangerous, both of our mouths slightly opened, our lips pressing hard against each other. His cold tongue traced the shape of my lips eagerly, leaving a blazing path behind. I moved my hands between us slowly, cautiously, waiting for him to pull away. He did not. He helped me unbutton and pull his pale blue shirt from his body quicker than I had hoped.
His lips against my neck now I felt my body reacting to every touch of his lips. My mind was racing. I did not make any unexpected movements, timing everything so that this calm and sensual experience would not end. My fingers lingering on his chest, feeling his perfect body, I realize the tension present in him. I recognized that his hands were not on me, they were hard against the ground, the strain of holding himself up apparent. I had just thought he had relaxed and was enjoying this.
I decided to try one more time as I slid my hands to his waist just above his jeans. He froze.
Every part of me resisted but I pulled away from his taut lips on my collar bone and searched his eyes. I adjusted myself and he rolled us on our sides again. His eyes filled with fear, worry. I hated this, seeing him like this, not enjoying what should be a perfect experience. An experience I thought we had both been looking forward to, even him, beneath his concern of hurting me. Could I have been so wrong, he wanted to wait, he had told me that. Maybe he had wanted to wait until I was a vampire because I would be more desirable to him physically once I had changed. His eyes were far away from the meadow, miles away from this situation.
He seemed to become less apprehensive as I looked into his eyes. I resolved I would not give up, not yet.
I pushed his back against the blanket. I wanted to alleviate him from his worry, if that is what it was. I laid my hand against his cheek, my palm hot against his cold skin. Slowly I moved my hand against his neck, kissing him softly where my hand had been. I repeated this against his neck and collarbone and then to his perfect chest. The tension never left his form.
I moved up to kiss his lips again as I began to make my decision. This was the hardest part I reminded myself, just make the decision and it will be easy after that. I kissed him hard, wanting to feel him melt beneath my lips as I had every time he ever kissed me. He didn't. As my kiss became more urgent, hard, he only became more rigid. He was in pain, not physically I didn't think, but he wasn't enjoying this. I didn't want this to be something I forced on him, something he didn't want.
What kind of way was that to start a life with him? This was his first time too; he deserved to want it as much as I did. He didn't now, not while I was human. It was too hard for him, that is what I decided, not that he didn't want me, that it was just too difficult for him and the worry, which I felt was silly, was still too much. This wasn't going to happen, not now. We had eternity, no hurry.
I rolled onto my back, suppressing a sigh. Turning my head to him and smiling as genuinely as I could, I whispered, "we tried."

For me, the on/off world with him was never any vivider than that last afternoon. Or at least the one I think was the last. I might've gone to the window to watch him down the street to his car in the soft yellow morning....October, when warmth is married to liquid in a way that heats you all the way in, marinating skin and ribs and heart in that golden haze.
It happens in the commonest of ways. One day the person just isn't there anymore. Nothing was said, or done. He went out the door into the same city as you, and you never saw him again.
When he didn't come back right away I didn't even wonder for several hours more. And then days went by. Weeks. I imagined that the phone rang and rang inside the empty rooms of my house while I was at work. Knowing that he'd call when things were right again, I didn't bother to catch up with him. Probably, I'd already lost him then.
I let go too soon and he went scudding along the edges of my life where he was always apt to be. And even after he moved across the country and started up a life with people I didn't know, still I believed that I'd see him again sometime. Any minute he might walk in the door, call up from a booth in the midwest, drop a line.
For a long time I found in my sleep that I was still living in the long-ago months when he was with me, and would wake with the thought that he'd be waiting in the hall when I came out of class that afternoon.
And even after he had walked on out the door that last morning, I didn't change anything. I left the lampshade cocked, socks balled under the bed, his towel damp from the shower dangling over the edge.
Tonight I washed my hair in a steamy shower to get relief from the ache of weeping from news of his death. I went outside to hang the towel, and the air was thick with mist and something like the smell of beets cooking in very little water. The sky hung low, and the now-faint katydid sound was steady, full of night. It happened at the house of a friend down south. She came home from work and found him in a chair, naked, a faded turquoise beach towel dropped to the floor beside him.

A Potent Memory
by William Snyder
© 2015 William Snyder
East Valley High School - 1993
A fifteen year-old mother stands with a group of students waiting for classes to begin. Her blonde hair is long and straight and it needs to be washed. She wears a tight white tank top and Levi's cut-offs. She is not wearing a bra and her little gut hangs out between the tank-top and shorts. The girl smokes and so do her friends. No one laughs or talks. They just smoke their cigarettes as if there is nothing else. There are cigarette butts everywhere. There must be a million cigarette butts spread across the massive high school campus that had once been an air force base. The child, perhaps a year old, sits alone in the dirt, wearing a dirty pink t-shirt and a diaper. Snot bubbles and runs from her pudgy little nose. No one notices as this discarded child of a discarded child as she pushes the dirt along with her bare toes and fidgets bleakly with a yellow cigarette butt.

If history has taught us anything, it's that important people need only be known by their first names. For many families (and especially black families), Brandy Norwood was a household name during the '90s. As a child, I did not realize the magnitude of the impact that Brandy made when she graced the screen as the first black princess when she played Cinderella in 1997, across from her idol Whitney Houston. Obviously, it mattered in my own little world, but what Brandy accomplished was more monumental than that. Brandy wasn't the exception—she was the example for girls who looked like me. She demonstrated what we could achieve if we believed in ourselves. With her in the spotlight, we shined too.
Throughout her career, Brandy has accomplished countless commercial successes—she starred in television shows like Moesha, The Game, and Dancing with the Stars, became the face of mainstream brands like CoverGirl, DKNY, and Candie's, and even had her own Barbie doll. (I cannot remember exactly how old I was when I was given this doll, but I still have it sitting on the dresser in the bedroom of my childhood home.) Brandy's music has earned her a Grammy Award, three American Music Awards, and seven Billboard Music Awards. ("The Boy Is Mine" is a forever favorite.) As far as philanthropic endeavors are concerned, Brandy created the Norwood Kids Foundation with her brother Ray J in 1996, became the first international spokesperson for youth for UNICEF in 1999, and was named honorary co-chairman of the Unstoppable Foundation in 2014. Brandy managed to do it all, and she did so, while wearing her signature hairstyle: box braids.
"At the end of the day, I'm proud to be black, I'm proud to be a woman, I'm proud to have access to the magic that is God," says Brandy. "It's bigger than that, though. It's about expression, it's about beliefs, it's about faith, it's about work ethic, and it's about seeing yourself where you want to be and realizing that where you want to be is really where you really are. It's having the faith to be patient with the process. We all have access to that. It's that faith that can take us anywhere that we need to go or where we want to go."
In 2015, Brandy made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in "Chicago." Last month, she broke her silence by announcing her return to music with the release of "Beggin & Pleadin." Naturally, more music is on the way to follow up the single, but that's not all! Brandy recently wrapped up production for the first season of her new sitcom Zoe Ever After on BET. All of this at age 37, while raising her teenage daughter, Sy'rai, who she absolutely adores.
Read more about the legacy that Brandy continues to build and observe how her perspective has changed through the years in the interview, below. We couldn't think of a more magical way to close the Black Girl Power... The Future Is Bright series.

In no particular order
One - Saturday Night Fever
I love a bit of the bee gees and my mum + dad always told/tell me about their dancing days and how the crowds would split to make room on the floor for them so it's my way to kind of be there (sounds crazy I know) every get together we have my mum and dad always own the dance floor and its just like watching Saturday night fever live just they are older than Tony & Stephanie.
Two - Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I don't know what it is about this film but its one I never get bored of, I'll watch it every time its on TV and will happily settle down and watch it on DVD
Three - Knocked up
Another one of those films I watch every time its on TV and again will happily watch it on DVD when I fancy a movie night.
Four - The Martins
Who doesn't like Lee Evans? Just like his tours this movie never fails to make me laugh but if I'm in the right mood I'll shed a tear too. The way the Martin family are is just like some around my area, We often joke its our family too being pregnant in my teens.
'She knows nish Ange'
Five - Romeo & Juliet 1996
I remember Romeo & Juliet being a film I had to write about at school in year 6 and there's me crying my eyes out when Mercutio dies.
I love the sound track I love pretty much everything about it.
*heads to youtube for the party scene* and I instantly have goosebumps.

Did Bram Stoker base his Dracula upon the historical Dracula?
Although it is widely assumed, even among scholars, that Bram Stoker based his novel upon the historical figure of Vlad Tepes, there is at least one prominent scholar who challenges this assumption.

With Alan Giles due to step down as chairman of Fat Face after almost seven years in the role, Sir Stuart will take the helm in July.
It comes just over a week after Sir Stuart was named as the new chairman of online grocery retailer Ocado.
His appointment to Ocado helped send the shares up by more than 6pc with investors marking his arrival as an endorsement of the retailer's prospects.
The role at Ocado marked Sir Stuart's first job as a chairman or chief executive of a listed company since leaving M&S in 2010.
Sir Stuart said he was "delighted to be asked to become chairman of Fat Face".
"There are undoubtedly great opportunities ahead for the business and I look forward to working with Anthony [Thompson, chief executive] and his team in helping them realise their ambitious growth plans for the brand," he added.
In January, Fat Face announced sales of £85.7m, a rise of 11pc, for the 26 weeks to 1 December.

Manchester United may have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Barcelona star Neymar.
The Red Devils are believed to be ready to pay the Brazilian forward £15million-a-year to join them.
And a report about Barcelona's financial situation released by AS has suggested that a move could be possible.
Both Lionel Messi and Neymar are due automatic pay rises in the summer.
La Liga enforces a salary cap of £320.6m and Barcelona's current wage bill for players and staff stands at £319.1m.
Messi's wages will automatically jump to £30m from £17.4m, while Neymar's is expected to rise to £13.4m.
The automatic pay rises will take the club significantly above the league's salary cap.
The club would, therefore, be in breach of La Liga's Financial Fair Play rules and, under pre-agreed principles, the board would have to resign.
Barcelona will need to generate more income and Man United's willingness to spend big on Neymar could force their hand.
While it's almost certain that the Catalan giants would not want to sell the Brazilian forward, a sale may be forced upon them.

Better late than never, eh?
My plan for today's post was supposed to be "a day in the life". I picked a random day this week (Wed) and wrote down everything that happened. The good, the bad, the ugly…
Turns out on Wed, there was a whole lot of ugly. So much so, I thought you might not believe me. Maybe I'll still write that post when I'm a little stronger.
But for today, how about a cute baby pic to take you into the weekend? Here is a side by side of Amelie and Hubs.
You can tell she's definitely Daddy's girl!

Listen to Esther's Story
Esther is one of the women we met on our first trip to Africa. She was a quiet, humble, hard working woman that delighted in her children. She won our hearts the first time we saw her bright smile. Her family lived in the end of the chicken coop on the land where we were building a church.
On our second trip to Africa we heard of the tragedy that had happened in Esther's life. Her husband was caught in the middle of a field fire which had trapped and killed him. Like most African women, you would not have known of Esther's tragedy by her attitude or her facial expressions. Though she never complained of her situation, she worked tirelessly to care for her children and provide them with food.
One night as we lay trying to sleep, we could hear the sounds of Esther hard at work, hoeing around the banana trees outside her mud hut. Esther's only time for working her garden was in the cool of the night under the moonlight while her seven children slept.
Esther, much like the Esther in the Bible, was devoted, faithful, and loyal. God used Esther to save His children and give them a future. She was needed "for such a time as this." You too are needed.
After returning to the states we told Esther's story, which produced our first sponsorship and laid the ground work for the Orphan Relief Project.
Esther's story is just one of the millions that are left untold in Africa today. Millions of children are left without any parents and are found daily, living alone. We pray that through this sponsorship project, stories will be told and futures will be created.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this; to look after orphans widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
-- James 1:27

Which came first – the daisy or the festival? One has almost certainly given its name to the other but whichever way it is this is a sure sign of autumn; the appearance of the Michaelmas daisy blooming here beside some autumnal berries. As the new literature Laureate said, "The times, they are a'changing".
With a new season, I am going to try to post a focal point much more regularly. Now that I have the WordPress app I can take and upload photos using my phone. This image is the first I've posted having taken it on my phone with minimal in-phone editing for highlights and contrast. It's fine but I still prefer using my DSLR but let's see what's possible with a phone camera too.

Eye, especially the exceptional typography specials. The current issue is no exception. As a passion for magazines pumps in our blood we were particularly interested in the feature on new men's mag Port. Tired of men's magazines obsessed with sex and celebrity, publishers Dan Crowe (also editor), Kuchar Swara and Matt Willey wanted to create a magazine that they themselves wanted to read. You can read more about the process in an informative interview on Creative Review's blog. Hailed for its simplicity of design and smart use of white space, it was the creation of custom font Port 1 which impressed us most. Fingers crossed it hits the spot with the boys!

Beaming Down
Creative Review recently ran an informative piece about Brand Toys, a website designed to give brands an alternate take on how their brands are perceived by their consumers across the globe. Little brand characters are formed by data, one set from a report produced by Millward Brown and the other based on brand chatter through social media search engine Social Mention. Colour and form plays a part, and judging by Coca Cola's red gorilla, Indian consumers are happy. Beware storm clouds, they mean the people are not pleased.

Flashback: 1955
We recently stumbled upon the nifty Nostalgia Factory in Kangaroo Valley, a place where time has slowed and knick-knacks from bygone eras gather. With a treasure trove of choice from vintage vinyl to old movie posters, and Phantom comics to pocket-sized Playboys our eyes eventually rested with Australia's very own risque PIX magazine. Scandal, sensationalism, human-interest stories, fashion, politics, culture and entertainment were the mainstay of this 1950s to 1970s magazine which, at the height of its popularity was read by millions. As rollerskating fans, we put our stoppers down with this March 1955 issue.

How green is your garden?
Spontaneous Cities (4) have popped up all over town with their miniature forms inspired by nature's premiere architects, bees. Princess Catherine had the world a twitter - and British bees a buzzing - about her wedding bouquet. The subtle posy was praised for its reference to Royal traditions and the significance of each species chosen in relation to her vows. Fortunately the bees were given a rest for the cake which featured some 900 flowers painstakingly recreated in sugar. With Heston's Feast currently airing on SBS, Heston Blumenfeld demands a mention as he makes use of his edible garden to serve up treats from bygone eras. We were just a little stunned to see how appetising stuffed crickets from Victorian times looked, and while queasy at the thought, we reckon if 'Heston Says' we'd try it. If indulging in such delights 'al fresco', then we've found the perfect cloche at the Milan Furniture Fair... an Optical Wand by Here and (T)here (3) makes reverse use of a bug catcher to keep those critters out. Closer to our own hive, the great outdoors is proving inspirational in more ways than one. Josh Goot (1) has looked to Photosynthesis for his Spring/Summer 2011 range. Dinosaur Designs (2) have channelled their inner insect into another covetable collection, and butterflies adorn more than the cakes at Ms. B's Cakery (5) in Hong Kong.

Flicking good fun
Sydney Film Festival is just days away. As with previous years the program is bursting with tempting films, and with so many great options it will be a challenge to pick just a few. So far top of our hit list is Tom Twyker's new film Three, which sees him back in Germany, and we're keen to catch Isabella Rossellini's latest, Animals Distract Me. It seems this film is aptly named for the actress. In 2008 Isabella won the Sydney Film Festival Audience Award for her Green Porno animations which depicted the surreal sex life of insects played by Isabella herself.

A woman had to be cut free from a car after a crash in Thistleton.
Emergency services were called to Fleetwood Road at about 7pm on Saturday to the one-car crash.
When fire crews arrived, they found the car in a field with a woman trapped inside.
She was released using cutting equipment, and taken by ambulance to Royal Preston Hospital, with what was described by police as minor injuries.
The road was closed after the crash for collision investigation work.

There's a strong chance that there's a fraud going on in your organisation right now[i].
There's a strong chance that you got a 'clean' audit opinion[ii].
Therefore there's a strong chance that you don't believe me[iii].
But, please, stay with me. (Besides, I know that you most likely see fraud prevention as important, if not very or extremely important[iv], so I'll make it worth the extra few minutes of your time.)
The first thing that you need to know is that the fraud that concerns you as a leader may well be outside the definition of fraud for the auditor. Your auditor is only interested in the financial report, so only in fraudulent actions that result in misstatements in the financial report. You, however, are interested in the health of the organisation, so fraud for you is defined something like this:
The use of one's occupation for personal enrichment through the deliberate misuse or misapplication of the employing organization's resources or assets [v].
This results in a classification of fraud that is wider than theirs: to their fraudulent financial reporting and misappropriation of assets you add corruption. Conflicts of interest, bribery, illegal gratuities, and economic extortion.
Plus they have a higher threshold for mistakes than you. In fact, because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a chance that there are not only immaterial misstatements in the financial report, but also material misstatements. (But this risk is low enough to allow them to issue a clean opinion.)
Then there's their evidence for the assurance that they are able to express in their report.
Evidence of no fraud
Yes, your audit report says, under the heading Auditor's Responsibility, that they 'plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.' And that these misstatements may be due to fraud.
However, you know that letter you sign for the auditor, the one he calls a 'representation letter'? In there you say that you have told them (a) the results of your own 'assessment of the risk that the financial report may be materially misstated as a result of fraud', and (b) what you know about actual, suspected or alleged fraud affecting the entity. Well, because of "the nature of fraud and the difficulties encountered by auditors in detecting material misstatements in the financial report", these statements will form a significant part of the evidence they collect to support their opinion[vi].
This is consistent with what the auditor says in the report under Management's Responsibility for the Financial Report: that it is you who are responsible for the "internal control necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error[vii]."
So it's mostly down to you, not them. That's why you have more chance of discovering fraud by accident that through external audit[viii].
Now do you believe me that you need much more than an external audit? If so, talk to a professional accountant (but not your auditor!).
[i] 43% of the 291 respondents in KPMG's latest Fraud Survey experienced fraud (and 30% of them detected less than 40% of their frauds in their organisation) [A survey of fraud, bribery and corruption in Australia and New Zealand 2012, kpmg.com.au, 4].
[ii] 84% of audit reports submitted by ACT Medium charities at 13.03.2015 [research for this post: http://www.businessbythebook.com.au/weve-got-no-controls-over-that-revenue/.
[iii] In BDO's Not-for-profit Fraud Survey 2014, only 28% of their 436 respondents saw fraud as a problem for their organisation (although 90% saw it as a problem for the sector.) And external audits was the No. 1 'primary factor' for the respondents in reducing the risk of fraud. [bdo.com.au, 6,7].
[iv] 83% of all respondents see fraud prevention as important, very important or extremely important [bdo.com.au, 7].
[v] Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse, 2014 Global Fraud Study, ACFE, 2014].

Toronto: Gia Coppola's Proud Mother Hits 'Palo Alto' Afterparty
Jacqui Getty, who appears in her daughter's well-received film, says "I can now send her out into the world, knowing she's doing just fine."
It was beaming mamas night at the afterparty for Gia Coppola's Palo Alto at the SET studio space on King Street Friday night. Coppola's mom, Jacqui Getty, who also plays the mother of Emma Roberts' character in the film, was all smiles when she arrived with her writer-director daughter after the Toronto debut of her well-received film. "I'm glad it's almost over," admits Getty of the film's hectic Venice-Telluride-Toronto festival run. "I can now send her out into the world, knowing she's doing just fine."
PHOTOS: The Scene at the Toronto Film Festival 2013
Actress Joanne Whalley, whose son Jack Kilmer (son of Val) plays Teddy in the film, shared that she couldn't believe he wanted to act. "We've never talked about Jack acting -- ever," she says. "And then, all of a sudden, he tells me he's going to read for Gia's film."

HP Desktop Printers Provide A Cheap Option For Students
HP has launched two desktop models which could be ideal for students and children going back to school after the summer break, it has been advised.
Printer ink shoppers were told this week by the Philippine Star website that the Deskjet F735 and Deskjet D730 were priced right and had enough quality to deal with all kinds of projects and assignments.
The high-capacity ink cartridges of the units were also singled out for praise for providing even further savings - as they do not need to be as frequently replaced as on other models.
It went on to note the HP Deskjet F735 All-in-One printer, scanner and copier for being a "compact all-rounder" that "stretches the potential of students without stretching their budget".
On the other hand, the HP Deskjet D730 printer was highlighted as being equally as affordable, but is equipped with "innovative features that allow users to save time and effort with enhanced print speeds".
The former device is in the manufacturer's F Series of all-in-one models while the latter D Series offers standard printing facilities.

Sports, Sex, and the Case of Caster Semenya
One day in late September, twenty teen-age athletes gathered for practice on a dirt road in front of Rametlwana Lower Primary School, after walking half an hour through yellow cornfields from their homes, to meet their coach, Jeremiah Mokaba. The school's track is not graded, and donkeys and goats kept walking across it to graze on the new grass that was sprouting as the South African winter gave way to spring. "During the rainy season, we can't train," said Mokaba, a short man wearing a brown corduroy jacket with a golden Zion Christian Church pin on the lapel. "We have nowhere to go inside."
For cross-country, Mokaba and his co-coach, Phineas Sako, train their runners in the miles of bush that spread out behind the track, toward the mountains in the distance. The land is webbed with brambles, and the thorns are a serious problem for the athletes, who train barefoot. "They run on loose stones, scraping them, making a wound, making a scar," Sako, a tall, bald man with rheumy eyes and a big gap between his two front teeth, said. "We can't stop and say we don't have running shoes, because we don't have money. The parents don't have money. So what must we do? We just go on."
The athletes and their coaches apologized for not having a clubhouse in which to serve tea. They didn't like talking out in the wind and the dust. There was music playing down the road at a brick-front bar, and chickens squawking in people's front yards, where they are kept in enclosures made out of tree branches. "The most disadvantaged rural area," Sako said, laughing a little and stretching his arms out wide. "That is where you are."
The fastest runner in the club now is a seventeen-year-old named Andrew who recently became the district champion in the fifteen-hundred-metre event. The average monthly income for black Africans in Limpopo—more than ninety-seven per cent of the local population—is less than a thousand rand per month, roughly a hundred and thirty-five dollars. (For white residents, who make up two per cent of the population, it is more than four times that amount.) "I think I will go to the Olympics," Andrew said, with conviction.
Joyce, a tiny girl in a pink sweater who is eighteen but looked much younger, was similarly optimistic. "I want to be the world champion," she said, her voice so soft it was almost a whisper. "I will be the world champion. I want to participate in athletics and have a scholarship. Caster is making me proud. She won. She put our club on the map."
Caster Semenya, the current world champion in the eight hundred metres, was a member of the Moletjie Athletics Club until a year ago. She was born in Ga-Masehlong, a village about fifteen miles from the track, and she was, Coach Sako said, "a natural." Even before Semenya left Limpopo for college, in Pretoria, she had won a gold medal in her event at the 2008 Commonwealth Youth Games, in Pune, India, with a time of 2:04, eleven seconds behind the senior world record set by the Czech runner Jarmila Kratochvílová in 1983. "I used to tell Caster that she must try her level best," Sako said. "By performing the best, maybe good guys with big stomachs full of money will see her and then help her with schooling and the likes. That is the motivation." He added, "And she always tried her level best." Semenya won another gold medal in July, in Mauritius, at the African Junior Athletics Championships, lowering her time by a remarkable seven and a half seconds, to come in at 1:56.72. This beat the South African record for that event, held by Zola Budd, and qualified Semenya for her first senior competition, the 2009 World Championships, in Berlin.
Semenya won the eight-hundred-metre title by nearly two and a half seconds, finishing in 1:55.45. After the first lap of the race, she cruised past her competitors like a machine. She has a powerful stride and remarkable efficiency of movement: in footage of the World Championships, you can see the other runners thrashing behind her, but her trunk stays still, even as she is pumping her muscle-bound arms up and down. Her win looks effortless, inevitable. "Even when we were training, I used to pair her with the males," Sako told me. "I feel like she was too powerful for ladies." It was a stunning victory for Semenya, for the Moletjie Athletics Club, and for South Africa...

|Bambino explores the Organizer and Play Center
a hanging toiletries organizer: I bought mine at Target and chose one with lots of pockets (partly to stash stuff in and partly for Bambino to play with)
|Toiletries organizer as purchased
4 yards of grosgrain ribbon in various colors
2 yards of trims
1 package of 1" (or wider) elastic
1 package of Goody Ouchless Elastics
A sewing machine and thread or a glue gun
Time Required: one good nap (by the baby, not you, sadly)
This project took me about 90 minutes.
Cost: about $30
A Note:
Most of what I did, you could do with a glue gun. It wouldn't be as permanent, but it would work. So, those of you who don't sew, don't despair.
|Zipper pulls replaced
2. Make 2 strips of ribbon with loops. Here's where you can use the Goody elastics, the trims, and some of that fun ribbon. The measurements will depend on the size of the organizer you use, and there are lots of different ways to make them. But those loops are great for hanging toys and other necessities from, and they are also just fun to play with for little hands. I made several versions of these strips...
Once made, I sewed these into the folds of the organizer.
|One ribbon strip example: a piece of large rick-rack with loops of ribbon sewn to it. I just pinned it all together and then sewed straight down the rick-rack to hold it all together.
|Another ribbon strip: this one had two ribbon loops -- each with one Goody hair band on it. For this one I sewed the loops of ribbon together first. Then I sewed them to the ribbon strip. And I added some ball fringe for fun...
|Here it is from the front with the ball fringe.
|Here's a ribbon strip in place. I made this one by folding a long piece of ribbon into waves and stitching at each fold to create a strip of loops. You see how toys and other items can hang easily from them.
|I hemmed the ribbons and them sewed them to the top of the organizer.
Cut 2 pieces of ribbon -- 1 yard each in length.
Hem each end of the ribbon to prevent fraying.
Fold each ribbon in half.
Sew one to each of the top corners of the organizer.
When you are on the plane, tie these ribbons to the tray table in front of you or the child -- the organizer will hang easily and can't be pulled off or dropped.
|Here it is held together by the elastic garter.
Cut a 24" piece of elastic.
Sew the ends together.
5. Load it up! I filled mine with toys and books, snacks, diapers, hand sanitizer, pacifiers, and wipes -- everything that you may need to keep from having to dive back into the diaper bag over and over again.
|Here it is ready to go!
A few notes:
I needed this to be a fast project, so I cut a few corners, but the end product didn't suffer. I chose one thread color -- in my case turquoise. When the thread was going to be obvious, I used the fancy stitches (that I never use!) on my machine. And the end result is pretty cute.
I hemmed the ribbon anywhere I could to keep it from fraying. That's one place where you could save some time. You could use an anti-fraying product, a glue gun, or even pinking shears instead.
Enjoy! And if you make one, I'd love to see a photo!

Karuppusamy is the kaaval deivam of Sabarimalai, along with Vavar, they both gaurd the pathinettampadi. The role of Karuppusamy in Kerala, is of a kavalkaran(deivam), or protector, where he guards the village from leopards and tigers, and evil doers(*Note the aruvaal and the spear he holds). In Kerala he is believed to evolve from the Malamel Veedu in Chenganoor and he got his role as a kaval deivam because of his devotion to Sabarimalai Ayyappan. Karuppusamy as the protector, is most often seen as "Sangili Karuppan", because of the chains on his body. Moreover, he is a village/folk deity.

Top Document: SGI hardware Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Previous Document: -58- What high speed interfaces are available for Onyx?
Next Document: -60- What about ISDN?
See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge
Lots of reasons, but here are some of the most popular: - You're not using hardware flow control. To do so, you MUST 1) use the ttyf* devices, not ttyd* or ttym*, and 2) use a "hardware handshake" 7-wire cable, which you can buy from SGI but usually *not* from a Macintosh house. See the serial(7) manpage and SGI's modem "faxable", which you can get from the TAC, for details. - The modem is configured funny. Look at the configuration scripts in /usr/lib/uucp/fix-* and see if there's one for your modem. - /usr/lib/uucp/Permissions is wrong. /usr/lib/uucp/genperm will generate Permissions entries for all /usr/lib/uucp/Systems entries. - IRIX 5.2 had several problems with serial I/O, flow control and PPP interoperability. They are fixed in patch 151 and IRIX 5.3. - Some Indys have bad serial port hardware. The problem appears only when recent software (IRIX 5.2 + patch 151 or IRIX 5.3) is loaded. Call the TAC and give them your serial number. - See also these writeups on SLIP and PPP: Scott Henry's SLIP and PPP WWW page, at http://reality.sgi.com/employees/scotth/dialup_support.html Jeff Speegle's SLIP/PPP writeup, at ftp://viz.tamu.edu/pub/sgi/software/admin/slip-and-ppp-setup Christopher Spry's PPP WWW page, at http://sprysgi.sghms.ac.uk/~cspry/make_ppp.html "Configuring and Debugging SLIP Connections", Pipeline, Jul/Aug 1995 "Configuration and Use of PPP", Pipeline, Sep/Oct 1995, and corrections on p. 24 of the Jan/Feb 1996 issue

ROCK HILL, S.C. - Winthrop's series "Windows with a View" is transformed into a reflective space with the exhibition "I See You: Mirrors from Private Collections."
The exhibition will display decorative, functional and nontraditional examples of mirrors from the past and present.
