It seems like every few years there is an animated movie that knocks me off my theater seat. In my life a few of those that astounded me — due to an unusual subject, a new perspective, or an innovative methodology — are Fantasia (1940 — okay I was not alive then but I first saw it in the 60's on the "Walt Disney Show"), Yellow Submarine (1968), Fritz the Cat (1972), Heavy Metal (1981), Grave of the Fireflies (1988), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Princess Mononoke (1997), Waking Life (2001), Sin City (2005), Persepolis (2007), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), Anomalisa (2015), and last year's Tower. I am sure you could make your own list.
This year the animated film that unexpectedly stunned me was Loving Vincent. This unusual animation (not a child's feature, not a comic book adaptation, and not Japanese anime/manga) dwells on the last months of Vincent van Gogh's life and plays out as a mystery as to his cause of death, generally attributed to be a suicide (at age 37). I have seen it described as film noir but it is not that dark in its images or themes. The film's protagonist is the young ne'er-do-well Armond Roulin (voiced by the relatively unknown Douglas Booth). Armond was in fact a member of the Roulin family, the subjects of a collection of Van Gogh's paintings. The fictional device that drives the film involves Armond's father Joseph, the village postman, asking Armond to deliver one of Vincent's long-set-aside but recently discovered letters. One year after his death, Joseph had found the letter which was addressed to Vincent's brother Theo, his only relative with whom he had a relationship. His father assigns Armond the task of delivering the letter to challenge him to rise to the task, but numerous complications arise, primary among them that Theo died six months after Vincent. This leads Armond to travel to the French village of Auvers-sur-Oise where Vincent painted so many of his final subjects and landscapes, and where Vincent spent the last weeks of his life. Armond uncovers Van Gogh's relationships with numerous locals (that he painted) and begins to unravel the many questions that arise as to what actually happened during the days preceding his demise.
The film, starting after Vincent's death, mentions but largely omits many fascinating parts of Van Gogh's life — his desire to be a priest like his father, his missionary work, his contentious relationship with Paul Gauguin, and his stormy relationship with a prostitute that he lived with but the relationship ended with Vincent mutilating himself and giving his lover a parting gift of his external ear. Instead, the film explores the mystery of why (and if) Vincent, seeming at this stage of his life to be relatively stable and beginning to be lauded for his work, would so violently end his life by shooting himself in the abdomen with a pistol. The questions are many, with contradictory evidence discovered. They remain open to diverse opinions to this day.
This is a story of a tortured man, prone to depression and feelings of worthlessness, who had but a few people in his life he loved and trusted. He wrote "What am I in the eyes of most people — a nonentity, an eccentric, or an unpleasant person — somebody who has no position in society and will never have; in short, the lowest of the low. All right, then — even if that were absolutely true, then I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart." Did his depression overwhelm him? Did one of those he loved turn their back on him — or even betray him? Did his family's judgement of his failed life finally vanquish Vincent? Or was his death a tragic accident where he was an unfortunate bystander to a random act?
Regardless of the plot, this film is exceptional, not for its murder-mystery narrative but rather its dazzling series of painted images… one of Van Gogh's very famous portraits or landscapes after another — 125 of his works in total. And they are animated in the most magical of ways. The innovation behind how these images are made to move and flow one into another is nothing short of astounding. In fact, over 65,000 frames were hand painted in oil by the production company's 125 experienced artists (not animators) from 20 countries. Starting with the actors being posed as in Vincent's pictures, they were then set to motion against a green screen to transition into the motion representation of the story. The film backgrounds were then composited with Van Gogh scenes. The film was then cut and edited. Finally each separate frame was transferred onto a canvas and the artists then painted over each one. They created the lovely flow of paint which remained so true to Van Gogh's technique (thick layers of paint mixed with his palette knife through a technique called "impasto") resulting in the recognizable "Van Gogh" appearance of the entire film.
Of course, there were scenes needed for a cohesive story that Van Gogh never painted and those were innovatively handled by using flashbacks painted in the Van Gogh style but in blacks and greys. They also dealt with their need for night scenes (even though Van Gogh rarely painted nocturnal images) by darkening and shadowing his paintings. Another complication was the fact that Vincent painted on all sizes of canvases (anything he could get his hands on as he was often destitute to the point he could not purchase supplies) and his paintings had markedly different aspect ratios, which had to be worked around. Small wonder that the effort took over four years, despite the army of artists employed (who worked for minimal compensation other than the honor of being involved with such a prestigious project).
The voice actors we hear are excellent. In addition to Douglas Booth as the lead, they include Saoirse Ronan (Ladybird), Aiden Turner & Eleanor Tomlinson (of Poldark fame), and Helen McCrory (Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter films). There is a variety of accents and some viewers were bothered by that but I was not at all. Despite knowing very little about the art world, the brilliant artwork totally fascinated and engrossed me.
Where Was the Caring Hand?
As a Christ follower, it is discouraging to hear how Vincent, whose heart as a missionary went out to the poor and destitute, was rejected by the church for relating too much to the common laborers. And when he began to manifest his bipolar depression (with periods of mania where he would neglect to eat or sleep working feverishly at his art — as was the case just before his death) one wonders if there was any Christian hand reaching out to help him and care for him as he had tried to care for others. Instead he came to this sad and mysterious demise.
I am an absolute novice when it comes to impressionistic painting, but when I see the animated birds beautifully lifting to wing from his "Wheat Field with Crows," and I am enraptured by the swirling clouds in his famous "Starry Night," I know that Vincent was a wonderfully talented child of God. How sad to lose him to earth's dust at such a young age. As he said in one of his last letters to Theo, "We (artists) cannot speak other than by our paintings." And in this unique animated film, Vincent once again, with a fresh voice, "speaks" to us.


Sedona is known for its one of a kind sunsets, each one a unique and powerful experience. You'll want to make sure you have a good seat to watch as the sun dips below the horizon and the landscape becomes aglow with a dreamlike palette of colors. There are plenty of magical spots to retreat for sunset; here are just a few suggestions you might want to consider.
Imagine soaring high above Sedona with a bird's eye view of the beautiful Arizona sunset as it lights up the entire Sedona landscape with a full spectrum of colors. Well, it is possible! If you are willing to pay the extra buck, you can hop on a plane, helicopter, or hot air balloon for an unbelievable sunset ride that will lift your mind, body, and soul.
Cathedral Rock is perfect for sunset. If you climb up to the saddle at the top of Cathedral, you will have a perfect view of the setting sun in the west, as well as the beautiful colors reflected in the eastern landscape.
You can either take a jeep tour up Schenbly hill or if you have access to an SUV you can drive yourself. The rocky dirt road takes you all the way up to the Mogollon Rim, where you will find beautiful panoramic views of Sedona at sunset.
Being near water at sunset can provide you with some great photography opportunities. Enjoy the peaceful flow of Oak Creek and marvel at the colorful reflection of Cathedral Rock in the water as the sun sinks below the western horizon.
Airport Mesa offers great views West Sedona at Sunset. But even more intriguing Airport Vortex, which you will find halfway up Airport Road. Here you will get more of a 360 degree view of Sedona so you can experience the all around magic of the colorful landscape at sunset. Airport Mesa is a great place to go if you are looking for somewhere that is easily accessible by car; but if you are looking for peace and privacy, you may want to try somewhere else, as the mesa can get rather crowded at sundown.

We make live games and interactive art: imaginary machines that make stories happen.
Serious Business is composed of creative lead and freelance games journalist Grant Howitt (@gshowitt) and game designer and speed-of-light news wizard Mary Hamilton (@newsmary). We work closely with a dedicated team of experts to produce and run our games.
We make games in real places with real people. The things we've made range from fun party pieces to straightforward run-and-gun combat to mad, wide-eyed terror to multi-layered tactical planning to more in-depth mystery scenarios - but whatever happens, we cut down on the "standing around talking" bit of live action games and skip straight to the "having fun" bit. We've been designing live games since 2006, and we know what makes for a good time. We work closely with clients, venues, crew and players to create experiences that are enjoyable for absolutely everyone involved.
Spirits Walk was a headline game for Fresh Air 14, a festival of games and play in Melbourne. Developed in collaboration with festival organisers Pop Up Playground, Spirits Walk invited players to step into a hidden world of strange spirits, sundry otherlings and dimensional curiosities, and there to shed their inhibitions, play with the spirits they discovered and eventually don a mask of their own making for a grand parade. All photos are courtesy of Pop Up Playground.
We debuted Little Monster's Big Day Out at Fresh Air 14 in Melbourne. All props and photos are by Pop Up Playground and associated artists.
We ran Journey to the End of the Night in Sydney in February 2014. It's a fast-paced game in which you race your friends to find checkpoints around the city while avoiding the Chasers, who are out to catch you.
We debuted Ludonarrative Disco Dance at the Playroom at This Is A Door, a festival of play and games in Melbourne. Ludonarrative Disco Dance is a very silly game involving disco, dancing, charades, pointing, and at least one person in a ridiculous wig.
As part of the Science Museum's ZombieLab event, we ran a live interactive exhibit which puts players in the shoes of the Community Jury Initiative. In a world where the zombie condition is real, infectious and curable, we asked visitors to pass judgement on a cured ex-zombie and a zombie-killer. Find out more about The Trial and see the results here.

In partnership with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, we created a game to tie in with the release of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter on Blu Ray. Taking over the MetalWorks club in Islington, we led teams of 30 to 60 brave prospective vampire hunters in last-ditch attempts to defend the grand opening night of their newly-formed Hunting Club from waves of hungry undead.
Adapting what we've learned from years of live game action, we created a game that allowed players to experience action, research, terror, tactical planning, and a fair bit of theatrics in a two-hour experience. We made a system that adapted to player choices, and ran two very different sessions thanks to the different decisions and priorities of the two player groups. Find out more about Hunting Club Live here.
The Gobstopper Job encourages people to take a proactive approach to confectionery logistics, using bombs, guns and disguises to pull off a sweet shop heist. We ran Gobstopper for the first time at Bristol's IGFest Fringe 2012. Find out more about The Gobstopper Job here.
Zombie LARP is the UK's first bespoke portable zombie apocalypse. We run large outbreak scenarios and spine-chilling small-group survival games, using NERF warfare and a lot of fake blood. We've been filling unusual buildings with zombies and getting people to fight their way out since 2006. In total we've run 12 or so events with player numbers from 3 at a time to 125 at once, using three different systems tailored to individual player groups and venues. Find out more about Zombie LARP.
Thanks to our specialist equipment, we offer a unique service to clients - we can rock up to your conference, convention or place of work with a bag full of NERF guns and get people creatively shooting at each other in minutes. In our Build-A-Game workshops we lead a crowd of potential players in designing a full, original ruleset amongst themselves and then refine and iterate it over the course of an hour or more of play. Players at Gamecamp devised a hostage taking game, while Kitacon-goers made a bomb-smuggling team game - and there's plenty of opportunity to develop something unique using our system and copious armoury.
Want us to talk about live games in a more formal setting? We can do that, and have done so in the past - as well as joint appearances with lots of NERF guns at two Gamecamps, Mary has spoken at The Story 2011, at Develop 2012 and at London IA, while Grant has run games and spoken at Bit of Alright. We mostly speak about live game theory and design, storytelling in games, emergent properties of game systems and the inner workings of foam-based weaponry.

Can't-put-it-down non-fiction for murder mystery enthusiasts. The riveting, grim, inspiring, saddening tale of The Pig People, the founders of NecroSearch International, the Colorado-based über forensic team that has cracked cold murder cases around the world (although not the Romanov mystery: too much politics). Not for the highly squeamish, this is nonetheless a fascinating story of dedication by a gifted team of scientists and police, and pages of details of many of their searches. Non-fiction should always be this compelling. It's a 4.


Amazon is bringing one of Google Home's popular features to its Echo speakers. The company is introducing a new feature, dubbed Alexa Announcements, that enables users to communicate between multiple Echo speakers within their house. A similar featured launched for the Google Home late last year.
Using the Echo's new Alexa Announcements feature, you can effectively announce things across all your Echo devices in your house. For instance, you can tell Alexa to "announce that lunch is ready" and Alexa will repeat that in all the Echo speakers that you have set up in your house. You can also have your voice broadcasted to all your Echo speakers in your house, instead of having Alexa announce things on your behalf. For example, you can say "Alexa, broadcast.." and it will start streaming your voice across all speakers in your house.
Amazon is releasing the new Announcements features to Echo users in the United States and Canda today, support for more regions will likely follow.

School feeding not only nurtures children and improve their health, but they are also key in facilitating access to education as they increase school enrolment, attendance and completion.
On 9 March 2017, International School Meals Day was celebrated around the world as a timely reminder of the need to promote good nutrition and healthy eating habits for all children regardless of their circumstances.
Every day around 370 million children around the world are fed at school through school meals programmes that are run in varying degrees by national governments. Since its launch in 2013, it has brought together teachers and students, policy makers, school cooks, chefs, food and nutrition professionals, schools and communities, charities, businesses and health professionals from around the world to talk about the importance of school meals and its impact on wellbeing and education. The day is managed by Children in Scotland.
Each school meals programme is different: beans and rice in Madagascar, spicy lentils in the Philippines, vegetable pastries and fruit in Jordan. In some countries it may be a healthy snack, or it could include take-home food such as vitamin A-enriched oil for the whole family.
Many governments are increasingly sourcing food from smallholder farmers in a bid to boost local agriculture, strengthen local food systems, and move people out of poverty. Known as Home Grown School Feeding (HGSF), the model augments the impact of regular school feeding programmes with economic benefits for local communities. However, designing and implementing a HGSF programme is a complex task. As investments in HGSF programmes increase, global partners are responding to the need for technical assistance in delivering effective, efficient and high-quality programmes.
The World Food Programme (WFP), the WFP Centre of Excellence against Hunger (WFP CoE), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD), the Global Child Nutrition Foundation (GCNF), the Partnership for Child Development (PCD) and the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) have joined forces to create a Resource Framework for the design, implementation and scale up of government-led HGSF programmes with funding support from the Government of Canada.
The Home-Grown School Feeding Resource Framework supports governments through the process of policy formulation, implementation and evaluation of school meals programmes. It also brings together the technical expertise of different stakeholders in a programmatic and coherent way to be easily accessed by countries requesting technical assistance.


What is Level 3 Payment Processing?
Credit card issuing banks assign certain interchange fees for different types of cards, and these rates make up 80-90% of credit card fees.
To qualify for Level 3 interchange rates, you must pass very specific details about the transaction, invoice, and line-item details along with standard transaction information.
Level 3 was originally invented to prevent excess government spending. It allows invoice information, including line-item details, to be passed to the cardholder's bank statement.
Levels 1 and 2 are fairly easy to achieve. Level 1 only requires standard transaction details such as date and amount, and can be achieved through any processing method. Level 2 includes the same details plus the addition of sales tax.
In order to achieve Level 3, there are nearly twenty fields of line-item data that must be sent along with the transaction, including: invoice number, PO number, freight amount, item commodity code, unit of measure, tax detail, and many more.
Level 3 pricing is available for purchasing, corporate and government spending accounts (GSA). Businesses who wish to receive Level 3 must send all line-item data and transaction information to the card-issuing bank.
Level 3 cannot be used with a physical terminal. Instead, line-item credit card data needs to be passed securely to a PCI compliant payment gateway. If the data gets passed correctly using the right type of card, then the bank will approve Level 3 pricing. If a business misses even one of these details, they will not qualify for Level 3.
Century Business Solutions offers EBizCharge, an integrated payment gateway designed to reduce processing costs and increase operational efficiency.
While most software interfaces require businesses to enter line-item data by hand, EBizCharge by Century Business Solutions takes information already stored in your MAS 90 Version 4.4 ERP and sends it directly to our proprietary payment gateway.
EBizCharge uses Encryption and Tokenization technologies to adhere to all PCI compliance guidelines, and provides businesses with enhanced data security and convenient payment acceptance. EBizCharge uses Level 3 Payment Processing to reduce processing costs and increase efficiency for your business.
In addition to submitting line-item details, businesses must adhere to strict rules and guidelines. If these rules are broken, your business can be downgraded to "standard" processing and be hit with much higher interchange rates.
First, you must capture funds for the same amount or less than the pre-authorization. If funds are captured for any amount that exceeds the preauthorization, you will violate guidelines and be unable to qualify for Level 3.
Second, after a card is preauthorized, you must capture funds within a few days. If funds are captured beyond this time frame, you will not qualify for Level 3.
EBizCharge by Century Business Solutions is a feature rich payment gateway designed to reduce processing costs for your business. EBizCharge integrates with MAS 90 Version 4.4 and allows you to process payments directly within your accounting software. Our integration comes with EBizCharge Connect, a complimentary web-based payment portal that allows your customers to view outstanding invoice amounts and process payments online. These payments are automatically synchronized back into MAS 90 Version 4.4 and appropriate invoices are marked as paid.
EBizCharge has no contracts and no setup fees. We also provide FREE 24/7 in-house support, training and maintenance, along with an in-house development team for efficient and up-to-date software integrations.
Contact today to learn how you can achieve the lowest merchant processing fees with Level 3 Payment Processing for MAS 90 Version 4.4.


The majority of our passengers start and finish their journey at Bodmin General and travel at least once over the whole 6-mile line using our popular Freedom of the Line ticket, which enables you to travel where you like, when you like as much as you like!
Bodmin General Station is our headquarters and the Railway's focal point. It is centrally situated and is a 10-15 minute walk from the town centre of Bodmin. The station has a café, gift shop and other facilities, including a wheelchair accessible toilet and baby change facility.
At Bodmin General there is also a workshop viewing area – open on most train operating days – where you are welcome to see the restoration and repair work being carried out on our locomotives and rolling stock. This can be accessed by walking through the car park and into the yard. There are also locomotives and rolling stock on display. Please note that access to the workshop viewing area and yard may have to be restricted on certain occasions for health & safety reasons, such as when coal loading or welding are taking place.
Our serviceable steam engines are stored in the Locomotive Running Shed, situated on the adjacent side of the main running line near to the signalbox, but the building is not normally accessible to the public.
The main station building at Bodmin General was constructed by the Great Western Railway and opened in 1887, when the 3½-mile branch line from Bodmin Road to Bodmin was opened. The station is beautifully restored to reflect the 1950's and is resplendent in the British Railways (Western Region) colour scheme of the period. Popular events honouring the Station's historic origins have included Victorian Weekend and Vintage Carriages Day, and visitors are welcome to explore the station and platform and its original features on any day that the Station is open.
This is a peaceful wayside station, set amongst beautiful scenery, located between Bodmin General and Bodmin Parkway, opened by the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in 1993.
There is a small picnic area at Coleslogget Halt, but no car parking here for railway users.
From Coleslogget Halt there is a 1½-mile walk along a footpath to Cardinham Woods (which can be viewed in the distance from the station) although please note that this Public Footpath runs through fields and has stiles at certain points and is not recommended for wheelchairs or push chairs and can be wet and muddy at times. Stout footwear is certainly recommended!
Trains from Bodmin General to Bodmin Parkway usually stop at Coleslogget Halt, but NOT on the return (uphill) journey due to the steep gradient and curvature of the line at this point. Certain trains do not stop at Coleslogget Halt.
Bodmin Parkway Station is operated and maintained by First Great Western Trains Limited. Car parking is available at the station, but this is for the exclusive use of main line passengers only. Bodmin & Wenford Railway trains operate from Platform 3 adjacent to the platform used by London-bound trains. Through tickets may be bought at all mainline stations, which includes travel on the Bodmin & Wenford Railway – just ask for tickets "….to the Bodmin & Wenford Railway" and NOT to Bodmin Parkway.
The old Signalbox on the Down platform at Bodmin Parkway has been converted to a Café, which is operated by the Bodmin & Wenford Railway, providing a valuable service to main line travellers, but also to walkers and our own passengers. Please note, the café is accessed by stairs from the platform, and there is no provision for wheelchair users at Bodmin Parkway. Find out more on the Access page.
Originally called Bodmin Road, the station was built by The Cornwall Railway in 1859. It has been a junction with the national railway network since 1887, when the 3½-mile branch line to Bodmin was opened. This is a main line station on the route from London and the north, via Plymouth, to Penzance.
The Bodmin & Wenford Railway has built a shed at Bodmin Parkway, opened in 2007 and used primarily to store various items of rolling stock, but this is NOT open to the public. Adjacent to the storage shed is an 'Exchange Siding' which provides a physical link between the national railway network and the Bodmin & Wenford Railway, which is controlled by the Network Rail Signaller at Lostwithiel Signalbox. The link sees occasional use but cannot be used by passenger-carrying trains.
There is a very pleasant walk from Bodmin Parkway along the old carriage drive to Lanhydrock House (about 1¾ miles - 40 minutes). Lanhydrock is a beautiful country house set in impressive grounds and now owned by the National Trust. There is an admission fee for the house and gardens but not for the grounds. For more information please contact the National Trust.
Boscarne Junction is situated directly adjacent to the Camel Trail, a recreational footpath and cycleway, largely along the former railway trackbed which is owned and managed by Cornwall Council. The station has a waiting room, opened in 2010 which is available to passengers during the day that trains operate.
From Boscarne Junction you can walk along the Camel Trail, where there is a vineyard, a Tea Room and a public house, all within approximately 30 minutes' walk (none of which are operated by the Bodmin & Wenford Railway). If you visit us in the morning, you can break your journey here and return on another train later in the day!
Boscarne Junction station was opened by the Bodmin & Wenford Railway in 1996, though the station itself is located on the trackbed of the former Bodmin & Wadebridge Railway, opened originally in 1834 and one of the very first railways in the world.
The site has been a junction since 1888, when the line from Bodmin General was opened, and was once a busy place, with train services (operated by both the Great Western Railway and the Southern Railway) passing here to Wadebridge, Padstow, Bodmin, Bodmin Road and Wenfordbridge. However, there was never actually a station here until 1964, which only survived three years until passenger services over the line were withdrawn by British Railways.

O-lineman Gabe Jackson readying for NFL draft
Michael Bonner
Gabe Jackson first O-line winner of Conerly Trophy.
Jackson trying to become first MSU player taken in first round since Fletcher Cox in 2012.
STARKVILLE – It didn't take long for Gabe Jackson to realize he had NFL potential.
The former Mississippi State offensive lineman would sit in his living room, watching each team restock its talent by calling the very names he played against in college.
Then it clicked.
"The different opponents I was playing against after draft day I saw their name called," Jackson said. "I was like, 'Hey I played pretty good against them."
Jackson could have forgone his senior season and entered the draft as a junior. Instead, he returned to Starkville for the 2013 season and shined from his left guard position, enough so that he blossomed into a late first- or early second-round pick, depending on the projections.
It also helped that the Liberty native impressed at the NFL scouting combine. He benched 225 pounds 30 times, which was the eighth most among offensive lineman. His broad jump of 9-feet ranked seventh.
The only area he struggled was the 40-yard dash. He ran it in 5.95 seconds, but many at the combine reported his split time from 1 to 10 yards was 1.81 — a number that shows off both his acceleration and reaction time.
"It was a good experience," Jackson said. "It was business as soon as I got there, like a lot of things back-to-back. But I got the chance to meet some great people."
Jackson interviewed with all 32 NFL teams at the combine, though six have shown the most interest. Four teams have already worked him out individually, and he's scheduled to visit two more. Jackson wouldn't give specifics at the request of the teams.
NFL.com lists 11 teams with needs at offensive line. Kansas City (23rd overall pick) and Cleveland (26th) have needs specifically at guard and fall into the area Jackson is expected to go in the first round. Washington (34th), Cleveland (35th), Oakland (36th) and Tampa Bay (38th) are all early second-round options. The Buccaneers selected for MSU corner Johnthan Banks in the second round last year.
All Jackson can do now is wait. This is the first year the draft will be held in May, with the first round beginning on May 8. The second and third rounds will take place the following day, with the latter rounds coming on the 10th.
"When it comes to the NFL you have no choice where you go," Jackson said. "It's kind of scary. You never know where you're going to end up."
Until now, Jackson's always been in control of his future. He came to Starkville as a three-star prospect out of Amite High School, but is leaving MSU as an All-American and All-SEC first team selection, according to both the coaches and the media.
He won the inaugural Kent Hull Award following his senior season. The award is given annually to the state's best college offensive lineman. He also became the first player at his position to win the Conerly Trophy, which is awarded to Mississippi's best overall player.
But he still has one more accolade to try and add to that list. He hopes to become the first Mississippi State player drafted in the first round since 2012, when defensive tackle Fletcher Cox went 12th overall to the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I'm anxious but also excited," Jackson said. "We'll see what comes up. Hopefully my name is called in the first round. I'm just waiting. It's a little stressful at the same time."

El Auditorio Manuel de Falla de Granada es la sede de la Orquesta Ciudad de Granada, y del Archivo Manuel de Falla.

Fue inaugurado en 1978 con un concierto de la Orquesta Nacional de España, bajo la dirección del maestro Antoni Ros-Marbà, que tuvo lugar el día 10 de junio.

El auditorio, diseñado por el arquitecto José María García de Paredes, está ubicado en las proximidades de los jardines de la Alhambra. El edificio está formado por dos grandes salas, de excelente acústica, situadas a ambos lados del escenario (junto al que se emplaza el órgano); una cafetería y salas de exposición permanente de obras de arte. El acceso al edificio tiene lugar a través de un amplio jardín.

Dirección y Gerencia

El Auditorio Manuel de Falla es un organismo autónomo del Ayuntamiento de Granada, con un Consejo de Patronato en el que el presidente es el Alcalde de Granada, el vicepresidente el teniente de alcalde y los vocales los distintos concejales, además de un director gerente. Las instalaciones de las que consta el Auditorio se componen de:

 Casa-Museo Manuel de Falla
 Auditorio y anejos (cafetería, vestuarios, etc.)
 Salas de exposiciones y archivos

Emplazamiento

El edificio fue diseñado cuidando su integración en el paisaje, ya que fue el primer edificio de carácter cultural erigido en la colina de la Alhambra desde que en 1527 se construyese el Palacio de Carlos V.
Se proyectó un edificio alargado, de silueta irregular y una baja altura que le impide sobresalir de las copas de los árboles. Gran parte del edificio está soterrada, aprovechando la fuerte pendiente de la colina. En el exterior se observa un mínimo de hormigón y grandes superficies de ladrillo rosado. Las cubiertas están quebradas y cubiertas de teja patinada.

Acústica

Para conseguir la mejor acústica posible, se relacionó el volumen de aire interior con el aforo del auditorio. Este factor volumétrico, íntimamente ligado con el factor económico, aconsejó no sobrepasar la capacidad de las "salas medias" europeas, que se sitúa entre el Konserthus de Gotemburgo y el Queen Elizabeth Hall de Londres.

El estudio acústico fue realizado por el Lothar Cremer, asesor acústico en la construcción de la nueva Philharmonie de Berlín. El techo, dividido en pequeñas superficies convexas cuidadosamente diseñadas, desarrolla las funciones de difusión del campo sonoro. Se proyectaron paredes reflectoras a ambos lados del escenario, quebradas por pequeños balcones, garantizando así un equilibrio sonoro óptimo entre los instrumentos de cuerda y el metal. Consecuentemente, la reverberación obtenida es de 1,85 segundos para la región de las frecuencias medias, la más adecuada para una sala de estas características.

The Water of Life (Uisge beatha) by Daniel Marchildon is a well-researched book that has you traveling several centuries of whisky history. Presented as a fiction, it not only entertains but informs.
I am not a whisky drinker, but I am a book lover. Within The Water of Life I found a book that, although I probably would never have considered reading until given to me for review, I enjoyed. I will admit it took me a chapter or two to get into the flow of the writing of Daniel Marchildon but once I did the ride was smooth.
There is a large degree of to and fro from past to present within The Water of Life as the story spans several generations: three lineages and two continents. Daniel Marchildon writes in a manner that allows the reader to travel back and forth with ease, never missing a beat or detail. For myself the connection was with Elizabeth Legrand and her determination to open a distillery, in a small isolated town, creating a single-malt whiskey. I envied her strong will and her passion for what she set out to do. This connection created a small degree of issues for me as a reader. With a strong connection to Elizabeth I battled to connect with the characters of the past. Daniel Marchildon does a great job of taking you there, allowing you to feel the place and time, but the bond I created with Elizabeth had me wanting to be back beside her. When reading reviews by others it is obvious this was a personal experience of my own and not what others found. It in no way reflected on my ability to enjoy my read but meant I had to focus more on what I was reading when in the past, instead of allowing the words to flow through my mind and connect.
Daniel Marchildon has done a wonderful job at blending history with fiction. There is a lot of history within The Water of Life that, as a non-drinker of whisky, I was not aware of. My read of The Water of Life has definitely educated me and had me wanting to know more about not only about whisky but about the era, Scotland and Canada. It is rare that a fiction leaves you inquisitive and thirsty for more factual history, but Daniel Marchildon has definitely achieved this.
Originally published in French as L'eau de vie (Uisge beatha) The Water of Life ( Uisge beatha ) has been translated into English by Märta Ziemelis and published by Odyssey Books in Australia.
Overall Daniel Marchildon has done an excellent job with The Water of Life. Whisky drinker or not there is something in this piece of fictional work for everyone. History, saga and adventure all await, tantalizing your taste buds and nasal passages with the whisky you never knew you needed.


"Price point on this is 1299 and this is a dual flash memory camcorder, meaning it's able to record high definition video on a 32 gigabyte internal flash drive or an SDHC card slot. It features a 12 times HD zoom lens, all Canon optics. A 1920 by 1080 full HD CMOS sensor. And just produces stunning quality video. In fact, this is the first Canon model and really the first industry model to offer 24 megabit per second recording mode. Which means in the AVCHD standard, you're going to get the highest possible detail and tonal range."
Yet it's small enough to carry in a jacket pocket. Also new, the Vixia HG21, which is priced at 1199, which stores high def video onto a 120 gigabyte hard drive or onto a high capacity SD card.
"We do have a model called the HG20, which is priced at 949 and that model has a 60 gigabyte hard drive, which means you'll be able to record up to 22 hours of HD quality video. That one does not have a viewfinder."

Commerce made a similar point in its response to the consultation, recommending that the Mayor should take the lead roles on both the Local Enterprise Partnership Board and the Integrated Transport Authority. The ability to meaningfully influence both of these policy areas would be essential to the success of otherwise of an elected Mayor.
I believe that the elected Mayor should also be given wider powers to drive innovation at a regional level, making use of assets and resources in a manner that secures longer term benefits. There is already some innovative work being piloted in the region. Two vital strategic developments for the region's transport network: the Black Country Rapid Transit system and the Wolverhampton Interchange are being supported via the Tax Increment Finance generated through the redevelopment of the former Longbridge car works in south Birmingham. A Mayor would be uniquely placed to drive further regional innovations of this kind and should be given the financial flexibilities in order to do so.
Local budgets, especially those directly accountable to local government, remain far too tightly constrained by measures imposed by successive Governments. These controls have stifled innovation. The election of a Mayor is a chance to carve out a new settlement, giving a directly elected and accountable City leader direct control over how money is spent and how public sector assets can be deployed in a more creative way. The ability to pool resources between different public sector agencies, borrow against future tax income and to develop a longer term budget strategy will all be essential in this regard.
Questions of public safety and the security of key locations are very important for Birmingham and the wider region. As the nation's second city, Birmingham plays host to national party political conferences, major business events and has been the venue of key international summits such as the G8. Later this year, the city will provide the base for the US Olympic Team. We are the home to vital national services such as the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine and the heart of the country's transport infrastructure, with key strategic sites such as Spaghetti Junction and New Street Station.
Given these circumstances, it will be impossible for the elected Mayor of Birmingham to avoid being drawn into security and policing matters. Indeed, I would argue that such questions will inevitably form a large part of the mayoral "in-tray". Yet at the same time, the governance of the policing system itself will be undergoing major change with the introduction of elected Police and Crime Commissioners. This poses a significant challenge and it is clear that the relationship between the West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner and the Mayor of Birmingham has to be a strong and productive one.
I believe that if this is to be the case, then the Mayor has to be given the means of exercising direct influence over the policing of the city. In the short term, this will mean formally recognising that the Mayor, or their nominee, should serve as the Deputy Commissioner for the West Midlands region. Responsibility for localised crime and community safety budgets, such as the Community Crime Fighting Fund, should also be transferred from the Commissioner's Office to the Mayor. In the longer term, I would argue that there may well be a case to be made for merging the offices of Police Commissioner and the elected Mayor into one, directly elected and accountable body.
Educational attainment is one of the key challenges facing Birmingham. As a city, we continue to let too many of our young people down, by not equipping them with the skills and aptitudes they need to compete for employment. Equally, we have failed to properly link the needs of business and the wider economy with our education system. This has to change and an elected Mayor would be in a strong position to give this issue the direction and leadership it needs.
Whilst this could in part be delivered by the "soft power" of encouragement and negotiation, I would argue that the Mayor should be given the power currently enjoyed by academy schools to vary up to a quarter of the curriculum. This would enable the creation of a specific "Birmingham curriculum" that would offer an unparalleled opportunity to close the gap between the needs of the local economy and the skills base of the local population. It would also enable stronger links between business and education, harnessing the power and creativity of both sectors in a manner that would improve life chances across the city.
Birmingham to finally "punch its weight" on the national and international stage. Most importantly, it will also be an opportunity for Birmingham to recover confidence in its ability to run its own affairs and find genuinely local solutions to some long standing economic and social problems.
It will be clear to you from the representations you have received from across the City, from politicians, from business and from residents, that there is a real appetite to make this change happen and to make it count. All we need now is the range of powers to turn those aspirations into reality. I trust that the Government will look favourably upon the representations it has received from Birmingham and equip the elected Mayor with the tools to do the job.

Q: Our iPad is asking for a 4 digit passcode that it never asked for before Our iPad is asking for a 4 digit code that it never asked for before. We updated several apps at one time. The iPad said it couldn't update them with 47% battery power, so we plugged it in and ran the updates again.  Now it asks for a 4 digit pin which it never asked for before. We didn't "accidentally" set a pin, and no one else has had access to the iPad.  We have tried several 4 digit codes that we "might" have set, none that work.  What do we do now?

A: Check that your iPad is not in lost mode by going here. If so, disable it by going to Find my iPhone on another iPad or iPhone or going to icloud.com on a computer and then go to Find my iPhone. Click on the device on Find my iPhone and click Lost Mode and then turn it off.
A more likely story is that someone could have enabled "Restrictions" on your iPad. There are some ways to find out this code, or to disable Restrictions all together.
Before you do any of this, just make sure that you have Restrictions enabled by going to Settings → General → Restrictions and then click on that and if you are prompted to enter a 4 digit code, just try once more at guessing the 4 digit code.
If it still does not work, plug in your iPad to a computer. Make a backup on iTunes with the current settings. Then follow this tutorial. This is for both Mac and PC.
Cheers and good luck!

The National Police arrested a 58 year old man of Serbian nationality on Friday, after he was thought to have stolen goods valued in excess of 20,000 euros at Alicante Airport.
The thief tended to prey on Russian citizens who he described as careless. He would usually steal their bag whilst they were ordering their drink or food in a cafeteria.
Plainclothes officers were alerted by his suspicious manner after which they placed him under surveillance for some time.
Amongst the items stolen the thief is alleged to have taken 20,000 Russian roubles from one visitor and 16,000 euros from another victim. When he was arrested and searched he had a top of the range mobile phone and 5,000 euros in cash on his person.
At Alicante Airport the National Police have a telephone service for all travellers on 902 102 112 to assist the victims of crime in their own language and advise them on the procedural and documentary actions that they need to take arising from any theft or complaint.

Jain Diaspora - A German View
Even though Jainism has a long history and the antiquity of Jainism was proved by Prof. Hermann Jacobi and a lot of research in Jainism was made by Weber, Alsdorf, Glasenapp, Bruhn, Bollée and others, they were of academic interest only. Only one author, Dr Charlotte Kruse was deeply impressed by the universal principles of Jainism and embraced Jainism whole-heartedly. She went to India and lived there until she left her mortal body. Number of Jains emigrated to Germany in comparison to those to US, UK and Canada is very small. Main reason for this is the language. Without German Language, living in Germany is difficult. The common language English has made emigration to even farthest countries like Australia and New Zealand easier than to Germany. Furthermore, Germany is not a country of Immigration in the sense of the English speaking countries.
Between the years 1970 to 1990, Germans like Kurt Titze, Hermann Kuhn and Markus Moessner were attracted to Jainism. All these persons spent considerable time in studying Jainism and accepted the same as part of their life. Markus Moessner brought out a magazine JAIN-PFAD in German language in 1987. To help his activities, Jain Association International (Germany) e.V. was founded in the year 1988. The purpose of this association was primarily to spread the universal principles of Jainism through the German medium. Unfortunately, Markus Moessner withdrew from the Jain Association International abruptly afterwards for personal reasons. Due to lack of dedicated work on Jainism in the German language, the publication of JAIN-PFAD magazine was stopped. However, Kurt Titze brought out a small book "Keine Gewalt gegen Mensch, Tier, Pflanzen. Worte Mahaviras", which was well received by the German Public. Part of this book was included in the curriculum of schools in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen. Later on, Kurt Titze brought out another book in English "JAINISM, The religion of Non-Violence" a beautiful book, published by Motilal Banarasidas, Delhi and this book was well received by the public as well as the book reviewers. Unfortunately Kurt Titze left his mortal body in his Australian home at the age of 78, but with Namokar mantra on his lips.
Hermann Kuhn, who came in contact with many Jain Acharyas in India, was devoted to Acharya Muni Aryanandi and translated part of Tatwartha Sutra and published two books "Karma, The Mechanism, create your own fate" and "Key to the Center of Universe" both in German and English, based on Tatwarth Sutra.. These books have been also well received by those interested in Jainism. On behalf of the Jain Association of Germany, I have given lectures on Jainism at the Universities of Kiel and Frankfurt/Main as well as at meetings arranged by Vegetarian Society of Germany. Recently Prof, Zydenbos, who spent more than 15 years in India and now teaching in the University of Munich published a book "JAINISM, Today and its future ". He has also published articles on Jainism including articles in "JAIN Spirit" a well known Jain magazine.He has taken Anuvrata and a Sadhaka. There are other Germans like Petra Schiller, Robin Stege, Cornel Wawrinsky, Friedrich Wolff who have been following Jainism under the Limitations of German environment. All these people have visited many Jain Tirthakshetras in India.
Thomas Dix, a very good photographer, co-authored a book "JAINISM and the Temples of Mount Abu and Rankapur " with Lothar Cleront, in German as well as English.
Dr Narendra Kumar Jain, who lives in Berlin, runs a Yoga School and Namokar Mantra is chanted there as part of the meditation. Mahavira Jayanti is celebrated in his School every year.
Traudel Pandya, a disciple of Gurudev Chitrabhanu also runs a Yoga school in Berlin, the capital city of Germany and Jain Meditation has been introduced there.
Carla and Christian Geerdes are followers of Acharya Tulasi and Acharya Mahaprajna and they are spreading the message of Jainism through their website www.herenow4u.de.
Jain Association International (Germany) e.V. has its own home page www.jain-germany.de. Several enquiries come through Email and phone calls for Information on Jainism.
As to Jains, emigrated from India or other parts of the world like Kenya and UK, I have already mentioned that there are very few Jains settled down in Germany. There are about 12 business families in Idar-Oberstein, a city known for precious stones. I have approached them to support our association. However the response has been very poor. In spite of living in Germany for a long time, they hardly speak the German language.
Then, there are a few young IT professionals or students, who have only temporary visas. These have no interest, except asking about the whereabouts of a Jain Temple in Germany. There are few doctors and academicians, mostly married to Germans and even though, their family names are Jain, they are not practicing Jains.
Recent big event in Germany was the bestowal function of Prakrit Jnanabharati International awards to two eminent German Scholars Prof. Dr. Willem Bollée and Prof. Dr. Klaus Bruhn on 25th May 2008. Both have authored several books and articles on Jainism and Prakrit books. Several Indologists including Prof. Dr. Bansidhar Bhatt, Dr. Peter Fluegel, Prof. Dr Brueckner etc. attended the function.
