Day 1Depart U.S.
Leave the United States today for your overnight flight to Madrid, Spain.
Day 2Arrive Madrid, Spain
Land in Madrid this morning, where a Grand Circle representative will meet you at the airport to transfer you to your hotel. This evening, meet up with your Program Director for an orientation briefing, in which you'll get a preview of your upcoming discoveries as you tour Spain, before getting to know your fellow travelers, including those returning from their Bilbao & San Sebastian pre-trip extension, over a Welcome Drink.
Dinner is on your own tonight—your Program Director will be happy to suggest a local restaurant for you.
Day 3Madrid • City tour
Spain's vibrant capital city enjoys a reputation as an extraordinarily welcoming one. Though the metropolis boasts a population of more than three million people, a great many of the city's residents (called madrilenos) are transplants from other parts of Spain or the world at large, calling Madrid their home by choice rather than by birth. As a city of outsiders, its people know how to welcome visitors, giving rise to the phrase "if you're in Madrid, you're from Madrid."
After breakfast this morning, you'll begin your exploration of the city with a half-day panoramic tour. You'll drive by important landmarks like the opulent Royal Palace, constructed in the 18th century in the style of Versailles. You'll continue on to drive past the Almudena Cathedral. The building's construction was completed in 1993, making it one of Europe's youngest cathedrals, though with its massive size and unique blend of modern and traditional influences, it is still one of Madrid's most remarkable-looking religious buildings. You'll also see the Temple of Debod, a 2,000-year-old Egyptian monument that was dismantled and then painstakingly reconstructed in Spain as a result of Nile River flooding caused by Egypt's Aswan High Dam project.
After your tour, you'll have the rest of the afternoon to make your own discoveries. In addition to the sites shown off during your tour, Madrid boasts a number of other important cultural attractions, including the world-renowned Prado Museum, a repository of treasures from Spain's artistic golden age, including masterpieces from El Greco, Velazquez, Goya, and more.
Tonight, regroup with your fellow passengers for an included Welcome Dinner at a local restaurant to toast the day's discoveries along with those that lie ahead.
Day 4Madrid • Optional Segovia tour
Today is yours to make your own discoveries in Madrid, if you'd like. Or you can join an optional full-day tour to Segovia, which, with its dramatic hilltop location and stunning medieval architecture, might feel like a fairy tale come to life. Your tour of this UNESCO World Heritage Site begins with the Roman aqueduct, which was constructed without the use of mortar and is still standing today, due to the passionate efforts of the local community to preserve it. Then stroll through the charming, narrow streets of the old Jewish Quarter before visiting the Plaza Mayor, a picturesque square surrounded by many of Segovia's most important buildings, including its Gothic cathedral, an imposing 16th-century church that was one of the last of its kind built in Spain. The last stop on your tour is the Alcazar, a skyline-dominating castle perched idyllically on the top of a hill, whose romantic gables and turrets inspired Walt Disney's design for the castle of Sleeping Beauty. Later, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant (included with the cost of the optional tour).
Return to Madrid late this afternoon, where dinner is on your own.
Day 5Madrid • Optional Toledo tour • Flamenco experience
Spend another day acquainting yourself with Madrid, or join an optional half-day tour to another one of Spain's historic cities (and another UNESCO World Heritage Site), Toledo. This quintessentially Old-World city boasts a rich multicultural legacy—throughout the centuries, it has been home to Romans, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, and more, all of whom have left their indelible mark on the city's culture and architecture.
Your tour of the city starts in its Old Town, where you'll visit the Synagogue of El Transito. The building is unique in that it was built during a time in the 14th century when construction of synagogues was generally forbidden in Spain. In 1492, Toledo's Jewish community was expelled from the city, and the synagogue was converted into a church. Today, it is a museum. You'll also stop at the Church of Santo Tome and the Gothic Toledo Cathedral, an important spiritual center of Catholic Spain since its construction in the 13th century. You'll go inside to see its elaborate decor, including the magnificent altarpiece, a towering depiction of scenes from the life of Christ.
Return to Madrid this evening, where you'll enjoy an exclusive Discovery Series flamenco experience, followed by dinner. You'll learn about the romantic Spanish dance and even get the chance to try your hand at it yourself to experience the passion of this iconic form of expression.
Day 6Madrid • Cuenca • Home-Hosted Lunch • Valencia
Depart Madrid this morning for Valencia, stopping along the way to explore the breathtaking mountaintop city of Cuenca. The Moors who founded the city chose its hilltop location, straddling a rocky ridge dividing two river gorges, for its strategic defensive benefits. But the area's enchanting aesthetic qualities cannot be denied, as you'll discover for yourself during an included tour of the city's medieval walled Old Town, which has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
As the population of Cuenca grew into the 18th century, the city faced a problem: Though beautiful, the local mountain topography provided limited opportunities for physical expansion. The people came up with an ingenious solution, to be mimicked later by the skyscrapers of the industrial era—rather than expand outward, they built upward, building homes alongside the very cliffs of the mountain. These are the casas colgadas, or Hanging Houses, seven- or eight-story homes which hang precariously over the Huecar Gorge. Today, the peculiar houses are home to Cuenca's Museum of Abstract Art, a symbol of the city's flourishing artistic community.
You'll have a chance to see the Hanging Houses from the outside, then your tour continues with a stop at Cuenca's Old Walls, a relic from the Moors' original fortifications. Then explore the Plaza Mayor, a picturesque square lined with colorful buildings alongside the city's Gothic Cathedral, built in the twelfth century after the Catholic Reconquista of the region.
Following your city tour, you'll venture off the beaten path to experience what is likely to be another highlight of your trip—a Home-Hosted Lunch with a local family. During this exclusive Discovery Series event, you'll have the opportunity to practice your Spanish, and sample authentic, home-cooked cuisine as you learn about local culture during meaningful, up-close and personal interactions with local residents.
After bidding farewell to your gracious hosts, you'll continue on your way to Valencia, arriving at your hotel this evening. Dinner is on your own tonight.
Day 7Valencia • City tour
Continue your tour of Spain in Valencia, the country's third-largest city, as well as one of its oldest. It has been many things over the centuries—a Roman settlement, a Moorish stronghold, and even an independent multicultural fiefdom under the short-lived rule of El Cid, the famous Spanish warrior. You'll become acquainted with the city this morning on a half-day panoramic tour, which will take you past a rich blend of Moorish architecture and medieval squares existing alongside contemporary avant-garde buildings.
Your tour starts with a drive past one of Valencia's most impressive ultra-modern institutions—the City of Arts and Sciences, a massive cultural complex built in the dry riverbed of the Turia River (now converted into a picturesque set of garden walkways), which features an opera house rising like a leviathan out of a massive reflecting pool. You'll then discover the historical side of Valencia, with a visit to the site of the old city walls—the walls are no longer standing, but several impressive medieval gates and fortifications still remain. Then continue to the Mercado de Colon, an upscale marketplace built in 1914 and renovated with a modern flourish in 2003. Conclude your city tour with a stop to view La Lonja de la Seda (The Silk Exchange), a 15th-century Renaissance trading hall recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and a unique example of Gothic secular architecture.
After your tour, you have the afternoon to explore the city on your own, or to simply unwind before rejoining your fellow travelers for an included dinner at a local restaurant.
Day 8Valencia
Today is yours to spend in Valencia as you please, with lunch on your own. You might choose to stroll idly along the manicured gardens of the Turia riverbed, or seek out local restaurants to find the perfect paella, chased with a refreshing Agua de Valencia, a local fruity cocktail. Your Program Director can point you toward the treasures of this Mediterranean city. Tonight, enjoy an included dinner with your fellow travelers at a local restaurant.
Day 9Valencia • Lladro Museum
After breakfast this morning, you'll visit the Lladro Museum, where you'll find a collection of highly valued handcrafted porcelain figurines. Lladro figurines are internationally renowned for their painstaking attention to detail and intricate coloration. You'll see the collection and tour the Lladro factory, to watch the specially trained artisans at work and learn about their creative technique.
Next, head to scenic Malvarrosa Beach for an included lunch, where you'll have the opportunity to sample authentic Valencian paella, a dish of rice, meat, vegetables, olive oil, and spices. Paella is enjoyed around the world, but was invented in Valencia, whose residents consider it to be an important part of their cultural heritage.
After lunch, you'll return to Valencia, where the rest of the day is at leisure. Dinner is on your own tonight.
Day 10Valencia • Tarragona • Barcelona
Depart Valencia by motorcoach this morning for Barcelona, stopping along the way to stretch your legs in Peniscola, a scenic seaside town. Here, you'll have some time on your own to wander the town's streets and admire its medieval castle, perched on a hill overlooking the sea, before returning to the bus to resume your journey.
You'll enjoy an included lunch along the way before stopping again at the Catalonian coastal city of Tarragona for an included tour. Tarragona was first founded as a Roman settlement and soon prospered as a vital port city. Much of the original Roman construction still stands today, as you'll discover on a tour of the city's archaeological sites (collectively hailed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site). You'll visit the Praetorium, an imposing ancient tower that in the middle ages was converted into a Royal Palace for the Kings of Aragon, as well as the well-preserved Roman Circus, where horse and chariot races were held. Then explore the amphitheater, which in later centuries became the site of a Christian church.
After your tour, continue your transfer to Barcelona, where you'll arrive this evening to check into your hotel. Dinner is on your own tonight.
Day 11Barcelona • City tour
Today, begin your exploration of Barcelona, the second-largest city in Spain and the capital of the autonomous region of Catalonia. Barcelona has been a vital center of trade in the Mediterranean from the Middle Ages up until the present day, which has helped to cement its status as one of the great cities of Europe—an important center of cultural, artistic, and scientific innovation for centuries.
You'll start your discoveries here with a panoramic tour of the city, beginning with the wooded slopes of Montjuic Hill, which hosts Castell de Montjuic, a 17th-century fortress. Scattered along the hillside are buildings from the 1992 Olympic Games, including Santiago Calatrava's Olympic Needle. Then continue to the city's scenic waterfront, a modernized, trendy district with shops and pedestrian walkways that still retains much of its old medieval charm. Next, you'll drive along the Passeig de Gracia, an upscale boulevard which showcases some prime examples of Barcelona's Catalan modernist architecture, a standing legacy of the late 19th- and early 20th-century cultural movement to assert an independent Catalan national identity. The architectural style, spearheaded by the brilliant architect Antoni Gaudi, is characterized by unconventional, asymmetrical, borderline chaotic, yet visually striking designs. You'll enjoy an included lunch during your exploration.
After your tour, you have the rest of the afternoon to make your own discoveries. Dinner is on your own tonight.
Day 12Barcelona • Optional Montserrat & Codorniu Winery tour
Today you have the opportunity to explore Barcelona on your own. You might choose to wander through the winding alleyways of Barcelona's old city center, or Barri Gotic (Gothic Quarter), which offers visitors a glimpse of medieval Barcelona. Some of the structures in this charming section of the city date as far back as the first Roman settlements of Barcelona. Today, centurions and garrisons have been replaced by quaint antique shops, hidden courtyards, and strolling street musicians.
Or, you can choose to join an optional half-day tour to Montserrat and the Codorniu Winery. Begin your tour in Montserrat, a jagged mountain range outside the city which offers exhilarating hikes past peculiar rock formations and spectacular views of the Catalonian countryside below. The mountain is also home to a Benedictine abbey, which hosts the Virgin of Montserrat, a Black Madonna statue which attracts many devout pilgrims.
You'll then continue on to the Codorniu Winery, a major producer of the local Spanish sparkling wine called cava. You'll learn about the production process and tour the cellars, where you'll have the opportunity to sample some of the finished product. The wine isn't the only thing on display—the building itself is visually impressive, as it is designed in the Catalan Modernist style for which the area is so well known.
The remainder of your afternoon is yours to explore Barcelona as you please, before you rejoin your fellow travelers for an included dinner at a local restaurant.
Day 13Barcelona • Life of Gaudi experience
One of Barcelona's most significant contributions to the European cultural scene is its one-of-a-kind architecture, designed in the Catalan Modernist style. The man who spearheaded this architectural movement was the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, and today's exclusive Discovery Series Event will take you on a journey through his life, as you survey some of Gaudi's most famous works while discussing his historical legacy with an expert local guide.
One of the highlights of your tour is sure to be the Sagrada Familia basilica, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While construction of the cathedral began in 1882, the colossal structure isn't scheduled for completion until 2026. Originally started by architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, Gaudí took over in 1883 and then devoted his entire life to its construction. When he died in 1926, after nearly 43 years of work on the cathedral, the project was only 15 percent completed. At first blush, the breathtaking mixture of Gothic and geometric Art Nouveau forms appear to be dripping in melted wax, but closer inspection reveals a meticulous stone tapestry depicting the life and acts of Jesus Christ. Once completed, the church will accommodate some 13,000 worshipers.
This afternoon is yours to seek out the many treasures of Barcelona. Rejoin your fellow travelers tonight for an included Farewell Dinner.
Day 14Barcelona • Return to U.S.
Transfer to the airport today for your flight home. Or continue your tour of Spain as you begin your optional post-trip extension to Malaga.
POST-TRIP EXTENSION:Malaga, Spain
4 nights from only $745
84% of our travelers rated this extension "excellent" in 2015
On Spain's Mediterranean Costa del Sol, Malaga provides a warm welcome for all who seek the balmy pleasures of Europe's southernmost major city. In a leisurely four-night stay, you'll be introduced to its rich history, which stretches back to the Phoenicians, and experience the seaside charms that drew Roman guards and Moorish caliphs, inspired native son Pablo Picasso, and still beckons sophisticated travelers today.View Extension Itinerary

By Dr. Ed Hollilday/The Rev. James Hull
Point by Rev. James Hull
Recently, the Daily Journal did quite a commendable job of dissecting the issues and challenges facing our state's educational system. The one issue that stood out for me in particular is the one that links criminality with illiteracy.
According to state Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps, for whom I have the highest respect, there is a direct correlation between those who have a sixth grade education or less and those who end up in prison, largely on drug-related charges.
Knowing Epps as I do, I know this dynamic comes to him as no surprise. I also know that this issue is close to his heart and mind, and while he wrestles daily with the duties of managing the state's prison population, he also ponders how to reverse the trend of "schoolhouse to jailhouse."
But Epps is an administrator, he is not a policy-maker, nor is he a legislator. Except for a number of successful rehabilitation stories and his struggle to keep recidivism as low as he is able to, Epps hasn't the power, the authority nor the resources to have any appreciable impact on the problem of dropouts-to-lockup among such a large part of our 15-24 year-old population. It's not his fault that not more is being done. It's the fault of our government officials, and ours for not holding them accountable for their inability to find answers and solutions.
The question, in its simplest form is "How do we stop nearly 50 percent of our student population from dropping out of school before the 10th grade?"
The answers have to be found somewhere beyond the limits of our education system but before the limitations of our prison system.
Counterpoint by Dr. Ed Holliday
James, you ask a very important question about addressing the dropout rate. Unfortunately Secretary of State John Kerry recently reminded everyone that, "In America, you have the right to be stupid if you want to be." Every dropout in Mississippi contributes to this right to be stupid. Thank goodness some dropouts come back to get their GED degrees but many others never achieve proper educational skills. Their lack of achievement is often passed on to their children. A vicious cycle emerges and this is what Mississippi must stop.
I, too, thank the Daily Journal for its in depth look at our education problems.
I have mentioned in this column before that is one reason I am for a strong charter schools bill. What we have done in the past simply is not getting the job done.
Even in the most religious state in America we can look around and see that instead of the church influencing the culture, our culture seems to be influencing our churches. In our homes, most children spend more time watching television than they do reading. The famous African-American brain surgeon, Dr. Ben Carson, tells us that his mother took heat from neighbors and relatives when she turned the television off and forced her two boys to learn to love to read. Never before in the history have we had so many books available from so many sources for our Mississippi children to read. But how can a child learn to read when he or she has a choice to play video games or watch television? Our children will not achieve educational success if they do not properly learn to read. It starts in our homes, but churches and civic organizations must develop new ways to maximize the basics taught in our schools. Early reading proficiency will lead to less tax dollars spent on prisons.

Fossil (FOSL) fell 12% in morning trading after the watch-maker posted weaker than expected revenue on soft sales in Europe.
Fossil posted $1.28 in EPS, 12 cents ahead of expectations. Revenue of $684 million missed analysts' expectations for $713 million. The company's European results lagged — results were boosted because Fossil bought watch company Skagen earlier this year, but excluding the Skagen results, wholesale sales fell 5%.
"Incremental sales from our recently acquired SKAGEN(R) brand additionally helped fuel top line sales growth despite an overall challenging sales environment in Europe," the company said.
European sales have accounted for 24% of the company's wholesale sales in the past nine months.
Fossil tends to swing wildly on earnings results. The company's shares fell 38% on May 8 after posting disappointing second quarter results, but rose 32% after posting solid third quarter results on August 7.

About Me
I am a breast surgeon with 25 years of experience caring for patients with breast cancer, and I work collaboratively with other breast cancer specialists on Memorial Sloan Kettering's multidisciplinary breast cancer disease management team. After receiving surgical training in both oncologic and reconstructive procedures, I became interested in joining these two disciplines to provide improved care to breast cancer patients, and I have developed a special expertise in this growing field of oncoplastic surgery. Currently, I am completing a textbook to help other breast surgeons enhance cosmetic results while performing surgery to treat breast cancer.
My research interests have covered different aspects of breast cancer and quality of care in surgery. I have been the principal or co-principal investigator on research grants from the Avon Breast Cancer Foundation, the United States Veterans' Administration, and the American College of Surgeons. I was the principal investigator and currently am the co-holder of a US patent for Detectably Labeled Porphyrin Compound for Identifying the Sentinel Lymph Node (US 6,458,336 B1; October 1, 2002). I have led an important investigation exploring the clinical significance of micro-metastasis detected by immuno-histopathology in patients with ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS). The results of that research have helped clinicians seriously reconsider the role and the indication of sentinel-node dissection in patients with DCIS.
My research has also covered different clinical aspects of breast cancer in minority populations in the US, quality of care in surgery, and breast cancer in men, and I have written more than 55 book chapters, manuscripts, and editorials on these subjects. I am a reviewer for and sit on the editorial boards of many leading medical journals.
I was the one of the principal investigators who validated the applicability of the National Surgical Improvement Program (NSQIP) in the private sector, which has since been adopted by the American College of Surgeons as a yardstick for quality improvement. I am one of the founding members of the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers and have been serving on their board of directors and as a chair of the information technology and quality improvement committee.
I am an active member of many leading professional societies including the American College of Surgeons, the Society of Surgical Oncology, the American Society of Breast Surgeons, and the American Society of Breast Diseases. I am currently the Program Chair for the 2011 meeting of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. I also served as President of the New York Metropolitan Breast Cancer Group from 2009 to 2010.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Every school district in Mississippi and elsewhere faces markedly more challenging curriculums and more rigorous testing standards in the immediate years ahead. That's the result of an initiative of the bipartisan National Governors Association (when Haley Barbour was governor) and several other levels of education officials, state and federal.
The story begins in 2009, when the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers announced an effort to create voluntary national standards in math and reading. All but four states – Alaska, Nebraska, Texas and Virginia – quickly signed on, agreeing to help create and then implement them by 2014.
In late October – Tuesday the 30th at BancorpSouth Arena – Willard Daggett, chairman of the International Center for Leadership in Education, one of the leading experts and motivators related to Common Core Standards, will speak to parents, teachers and administrators in an open, free session.
The program has been funded by the Toyota Education Enhancement Endowment at CREATE Foundation, its official trustee.
The Common Core will require that every district make fundamental adjustments in both what is taught and how it is taught, with more demanding accountability testing to measure effectiveness.
The new curriculum springs from deepening concern about the performance and knowledge of American students measured against students from every other developed nation. The U.S. is trailing.
"What we're trying to do is provide the latest information on what Common Core will mean to all of our school districts," said CREATE Foundation President Mike Clayborne. "He is someone who is at the leading edge of the national conversation on Common Core, and we think it is extremely important not only that educators understand the major changes that are coming but also that the broader community does, too."
Last summer, the Toyota endowment paid to send several area educators to the annual Model Schools Conference in Orlando, Fla., where Daggett spoke. Hearing him led to bringing him to Northeast Mississippi.
Parents and community leaders usually clamor for more authoritative information about changes in public education. The Daggett forum opens the window of opportunity to learn.

Talk looks at impact of Wilson adviser, Oct. 17
Posted October 12, 2006; 01:18 p.m.
The biographer of Woodrow Wilson's chief political adviser will discuss the influence of the Wilson administration on 20th-century foreign policy in a lecture set for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 17, in 16 Robertson Hall.
The lecture is titled "Colonel Edward M. House: Wilson's Karl Rove?" It will be delivered by Godfrey Hodgson, whose latest book, "Woodrow Wilson's Right Hand: The Life of Colonel Edward M. House," focuses on the man who served as Wilson's chief political adviser, national security adviser and senior diplomat.
Hodgson is an associate fellow at the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford. He has worked as a journalist for newspapers, magazines, and radio and television outlets in Britain and the United States, and has taught at several universities, including City University of New York, Berkeley, Harvard and Oxford.
Hodgson has written extensively about 20th-century American history, politics and international affairs. His other books include "The Gentleman from New York," a biography of former U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan; "The Colonel," a biography of former U.S. Secretary of War and Secretary of State Henry Stimson; and "The World Turned Right Side Up," a history of American conservatism.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

150 Muir Road (127A)Martinez, CA 94553 PH: 925-372 -2485FX: 925-372-2884
Website: UC Davis/Martinez ARCC
Principal Investigator: Bruce Reed, Ph.D.Medical Director: Ingrid Kwee, M.D.
The University of California, Davis ARCC was established in 1985. It is a unit of the Department of Neurology, UC Davis School of Medicine. The Center was located at the Alta Bates Medical Center in Berkeley from 1985 until 1997, when it was relocated to the Department of Veterans Affairs Northern California Health Care System (VANCHCS) in Martinez.
In 1991, this Alzheimer's Disease Diagnostic and Treatment Center (ADDTC), in partnership with the UC Davis ADDTC in Sacramento, successfully competed for an Alzheimer's Disease Center (ADC) grant from the National Institute on Aging (NIA). This grant was renewed in 1996 and in 2001. The NIA-ADC grant provides core support for research infrastructure at both sites. Using NIA-ADC funds, the two ARCCs have implemented a uniform clinical evaluation program, an integrated common database, standardized research protocols, a brain bank, and integrated educational and outreach efforts. The ARCC and NIA-ADC resources have in turn been critical to obtaining several additional research projects, including a major Program Project Grant on vascular dementia and an epidemiologic study of aging and dementia in the Hispanic community. In 1993, the ADC submitted a successful application to the NIA to fund minority outreach clinics. Minority outreach remains a major emphasis of both the UC Davis Centers, with a particular emphasis on African Americans. The UC Davis - Martinez Center enjoys additional core resources because of its close connection to the VANCHCS. Key clinical staff have VA medical staff appointments and are able to facilitate Veterans treatment within the VA system. Community patients are also seen at the Center.

Mexicana Returns to the Skies This April
Tags: bankruptcy, Mexicana Airlines, Mexico
A Mexican bankruptcy judge ruled on Friday that Med Atlantic, a company led by Spanish entrepreneur Christian Cadenas, had met the financial requirements for taking over Mexicana with a $300 million investment. Deals have been reached with the airline's creditors, and Mexico's Transport Ministry is expected to issue a certificate of operation in the coming days, according to a CNN Expansion report.
Slots that had been ceded to other Mexican carriers in Mexicana's absence will be returned to the airline. It was not immediately clear which routes the airline would fly.
Flights could begin in April using seven leased aircraft. A similar plan to relaunch the airline last year involved seven Airbus A320 jets.

For the 3rd consecutive year, IDF Europe is continuing its Member Associations Staff Exchange Programme.
If you are working for a member association, you can apply for this unique opportunity to join the IDF Europe staff and work in Brussels as a "staff member on loan", in a dynamic and international atmosphere for 6 months (July to December 2013).
Nenad Šimunko, from the Croatian Diabetes Association, took part in this programme in 2012 and this is what he has to say about his experience:
"Working with the IDF Europe team was a life-changing experience. The projects I worked on really broadened my horizons and I gained so much from all the people I met and new friends I made while in Brussels. Working with IDF Europe also allowed me to build self-confidence, improve my language skills but most of all I learned what real team work is all about.
I would definitely regret it if I hadn't applied for this programme!"
For more information on the programme and on how to apply, click here [2].
Please send your applications to Sophie Peresson, IDF Europe Regional Director, at [email protected] [3], by 17 March 2013 latest.

Well over a billion smartphones were sold across the world in 2015. One of the great things about the fierce competition in the smartphone market is that prices are tumbling down. The average selling price declined to less than $300 last year, and it will fall further, according to the IDC. That makes buying a smartphone outright, without being locked into a two-year contract, a realistic possibility for everyone under the sun.
The tricky part is finding the right phone for you, but don't worry, because we're here to help. We've been testing out the best budget smartphones and this is our short list.
Our pick
Why should you buy this: It's a true flagship killer with high-end specs, great processing power, and a sharp camera — all wrapped up in a sleek metal package.
Who's it for: Anyone who wants a great Android phone at a relatively low price
How much will it cost: $400
Why we picked the ZTE Axon 7:
Nothing about the ZTE Axon 7 suggests a budget price. This is a classy piece of tech, sporting an attractive all-metal design with prominent dual speaker grilles flanking a gorgeous 5.5-inch AMOLED screen. It looks and feels expensive and it can compete with some of the best Android phones on performance.
Things don't get any less impressive when you pop the hood, because there's a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB RAM and a whopping 64GB internal storage inside. There's also a more expensive 128GB version with a whopping 6GB of RAM, and you get a MicroSD card slot for further expansion in both models.
You won't be disappointed by the camera, either. It features a 21-megapixel camera sensor with electronic and optical image stabilization. The front-facing camera is rated at 8-megapixels. Both take great pictures and offer manual settings. A 3,140mAh battery ensures that the Axon 7 will get through an average day with juice to spare.
Then there's the front-facing stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos technology for unrivaled smartphone sound. If you're looking for the compromise, you'll be hard pressed to find it. Even ZTE's MiFavor UI is mercifully close to stock Android and the manufacturer has pushed out Android 7.0 Nougat, the latest and greatest Android version from Google.
One thing to watch out for is that the ZTE Axon 7 is not officially supported on Verizon or Sprint. It is technically capable of working with their networks, and some people report limited success, but your mileage may vary. It's also slippery, it's not water resistant, and there's no wireless charging support, but we're nitpicking because this is an unparalleled phone for the money.

Brutus Magazine Winter Suit Preview
I did this shoot with Brutus magazine last year for the upcoming winter suit collections. Shooting something as static as men's wool suiting, a garment that has changed very little over the past few generations requires a little imagination and change in perspective.
The idea behind the spread was to mimic the late American artist Duane Hanson. He was know for his wax sculptures of Americans engaged in everyday activities; shopping, resting, eating and most commonly, working.
The shoot revolved around men in some facet work, the historical reason to be in a suit in the first place.
To match the feel of Hanson's work, our hands and faces were covered with a matte gel. The poses and expressions were also modeled for suspended animation.
The shoot was really fun and pretty quirky, but looking back, I totally forgot to appreciate the beauty held by every single garment in the room.
Left: Three piece suit, shirt, tie, pocket square and shoes by Dunhill - $7,699. Right: Three piece suit, shirt, tie, hat and shoes by Paul Smith (Alfred Brown wool) - $2,967.
Left: Suit, tie, shirt, pocket square and shoes by Hugo Boss - $2,853. Right: Suit, shirt, tie, pocket square and shoes by Ermenegildo Zegna - $7,370.
Left: Suit, shirt, tie, pocket square and shoes by Polo Ralph Lauren - $2,252. Hat by Borsalino - $777. Right: Suit, shirt, tie, cardigan and pocket square by Brooks Brothers Black Fleece - $5,623 (shoes not included). Hat by Borsalino - $777.
The details in this shoot are easy to overlook. The newspaper in my pocket (first photo on the right) was actually from the 70's, as was my luggage cart.
On a personal note, Japanese magazines are always a step above anything published in the USA. I'm saying this not only about the content but as a physical object as well; higher quality paper and printing. I could do an entire post (which I just may do) listing all of the wonderful culture and style mags in Japan.
If you are interested in receiving Brutus every other week, amazon has a smoking deal on right now for the low low price of $257/year.

Genesis (28 Lessons)
In the beginning…… That's what Genesis is, the beginning of the world and all living things and God created it all. In this book one will also discover the answer to those age-old questions: Where did I come from? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? The answers to these questions and many more are found in this in-depth study. Genesis also sets the stage for God's plan of redemption and plants the seeds of many important doctrines and Christian teachings that unfold in the rest of the Bible.
Without Genesis, the Bible is incomprehensible, which makes this a "must" study!

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z
Some words of wisdom…
The more vigorously the primacy was displayed, the more the question came up about the extent and and limits of [papal] authority, which of course, as such, had never been considered. After the Second Vatican Council, the impression arose that the pope really could do anything in liturgical matters, especially if he were acting on the mandate of an ecumenical council. Eventually, the idea of the givenness of the liturgy, the fact that one cannot do with it what one will, faded from the public consciousness of the West. In fact, the First Vatican Council had in no way defined the pope as an absolute monarch. On the contrary, it presented him as the guarantor of obedience to the revealed Word. The pope's authority is bound to the Tradition of faith. … The authority of the pope is not unlimited; it is at the service of Sacred Tradition.

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."
- - Giovanni Guareschi

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."
- St. John Paul II

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."
- C.S. Lewis
More food for thought:
"I expect to die in bed, my successor will die in prison and his successor will die a martyr in the public square. His successor will pick up the shards of a ruined society and slowly help rebuild civilization, as the church has done so often in human history."

I have found numerous references to some number theory that seems to draw a parallel to my whole computing sum's scenerio that has been driving me crazy as of recent.
The key term is digital root. It seems that my reducing the values of a number to a single digit by adding together each of the digits in the number is computing the digital root. Okay, no biggi there. There also seems to be a semi-weak relation to sigma codes, though I havn't quite decided yet if what I have run across is infact some property of sigma codes or not.
Originally I had used a double itterative loop to compute the digital root, but I have run across a much faster way of computing it for base10 (the 9 can be replaced with baseN - 1):
dr = 1 + (((n ** x) - 1) % 9)
And I have run across a curious conjecture in my recent insanity into this whole thing:
dr(n ** x) = dr(n ** dr(x))
It also seems that: if dr(n) == dr(i) then dr(n ** x) = dr(i ** x)
I am still trying to piece together a proof for this with a friend at work. As soon as we come up with one (more likely he will do all the work here, I am horrible at proofs), we have decided to see about finding a proof that describes the reproducable patterns that occure. And then it is off to explain why it is that predictable powers in the pattern intersect at a digital root of 1 at the same time, and a seperate predictable set of powers never reduce 1, and why it is that these powers are always a fixed distance apart.

On display on Level 1
Adelaide, South Australia, Australia 1921 – Italy 2013
Place made:
Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
Materials & Technique: paintings, oil on plywood Support: canvas
Inspired by the South Australian copper-mining town, Wallaroo is an atmospheric and mysterious painting. Located on the Spencer Gulf coast, Jeffrey Smart visited Wallaroo in 1951 and made a number of watercolour studies of the town's buildings, beach, mining sites and breakwater. Returning to his studio, Smart 'began mixing all the sketches together, trying them this way and that, seeing how they could agree in a large composition–a painting in oils'.1
In Wallaroo two young men carry a boat ashore, one figure stepping out of the water and swinging his arm out to balance himself. The entire composition is an exercise in balance–the stretch of sand meeting the curve of the breakwater, the height of the chimney balancing the weight of the figures. Each element is carefully placed to direct the eye around the painting. There is an eerie stillness to the image, created by the long shadows and abandoned environment. The rusty ochres and greys of the earth and sky contrast with the bright strip of sand and the building. In discussing the painting Smart said:
I tried all sorts of skies, ones with huge clouds, those with strata clouds, a stormy sky and so on. Finally I settled for one which graduated, light at the horizon and becoming darker near the top. But then it looked too dull. It wasn't interesting enough. So a moon–which you often see at evening, was brought in, just to make a note against the plain surface.2

This isn't going to end well. There's a guy heading down the rugged trail in his crossover, encouraged by marketing that says it can "go anywhere".
Most buyers of crossovers or soft off-roaders - the ones with no low-range gears and little ground clearance - probably have little interest in going off-road except to hop the odd curb or cross a paddock.
They're mostly bought as "interesting" alternatives to a wagon or family car. So much so that manufacturers are realising they don't need to bother with drive to all wheels, offering cheaper two-wheel-drive versions.
But there are owners who hear the call of the wild and those tracks well beyond an unsealed logging road. Sadly, most won't get far without getting stuck, or breaking something.
A few top-end soft off-roaders, such as the Volkswagen Touareg and the Mercedes M-Class, can be fitted with low-range gearing and other off-road aids as options, promoting them out of this segment. Most buyers don't tick those options.
Here's what soft off-roaders can do, what they can't, and why.
Well, they have all-wheel-drive (AWD), a term that has come to mean four-wheel-drive but without low-range gearing. They have more ground clearance than cars and that's good for avoiding rocks or other track irregularities.
They may have electronic hill descent control (HDC) that stops the vehicle going too fast down steep hills.
Most have some sort of electronic traction control that stops a wheel or wheels from spinning, maintaining forward progress.
The AWD system might not be much good. The driver might not be able to lock it so that all wheels are driving, no matter what.
Inability to lock means the computer might spend too much time trying to decide whether to be in two- or four-wheel drive or where to send the drive and, not being able to see the terrain, make the wrong "decisions".
It may have extra ground clearance, but not enough. Anything under 200mm is fairly pointless, up out softies to around 210mm is marginal.
It may have poor approach and departure angles, so that at the first sign of challenging terrain, you're risking a front or rear bumper.
Without low gearing, and despite the effect of the automatic transmission's torque converter, it might be poor at crawling around or over obstacles.
It doesn't have much wheel travel or axle articulation, so it's easy for one or more wheels to lose contact with the ground. Fortunately, electronic traction control will probably keep the vehicle going.
Most standard-fit tyres are hopeless off-road. The low-profile sidewalls lack flex, treads quickly fill with mud, turning the tyres into useless slicks. If you think you might want to do some off-roading, get a proper 4WD. But if you must get a crossover, look for:
*Good ground clearance.
*Short hangovers between bumpers and wheels.
*A drive system that can be locked in all-wheel-drive.
*A body with the fewest protrusions that can be easily damaged.
*Tyres with a bold tread and high profile - but you're unlikely to find anything taller than a 65-series.
Make sure the electronics suite includes some form of traction control.
Despite what the brochures and websites say, most soft off-roaders have much the same ability to press on.But a few have impressed Driven as being above average. It's not easy to define why; none has clear advantages in any area, but they come together as usable off-roadable packages.
Newest is the Subaru XV, which Driven wasn't expecting to be nearly as good off the road as it was. Among its attributes are reasonable ground clearance and first-class traction control. And it's a blast to drive.
The Nissan X-Trail can also go further than you'd think. Diesel versions have a small advantage. It also has the "feel" of a proper 4WD - and that's meant in a good way.
Given the experience of its manufacturer, something would be seriously amiss if the Land Rover Freelander II - just facelifted - wasn't good off-road. Fortunately it is, and may just be the best of the bunch.
Another European not afraid of a bit of dirt is the AWD version of Skoda's appealing Yeti.
Something used? Check the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute.
Learn ropes first
The best way to make a soft off-roader go further is to take an off-road driving course.
Until you do, adopt the adage: as slow as possible, as fast as necessary. Pointing your crossover at a track obstacle and giving it heaps won't end well. On the other hand, momentum may help you on dry, loose sand.
Assess an obstacle; look for the easiest way through; have a passenger get out to guide you; if you're fairly sure the vehicle won't make it, don't try.
Know your vehicle. Look underneath to see what's vulnerable. Carry basic self-recovery kit, a spade and a wide, strong piece of wood as a jack base. Know how to use the jack.
If you're beach driving, don't play Russian roulette with tides; allow plenty of time to get back.

Texas Society of Architects 25-Year Award
Texas Society of Architects gives the 2015 25-Year Award to Dallas City Hall.
Texas Society of Architects gives the 2015 25-Year Award to Dallas City Hall.
The Texas Society of Architects announced the Alley Theatre in Houston as the recipient of the Texas Society of Architects 2014 25-Year Award.
Renown for its diffusion of natural light, the roof of the Menil Collection comprises 300, 25-mm-thick, ferrocement leaves, which protect the building from the light and heat of the Texas sun. Completed in 1981 by Renzo Piano, the Menil received the 2013 AIA 25-Year Award.
The Menil Collection, designed by Renzo Piano with Richard Fitzgerald & Associates and inaugurated in 1987, was selected by the Texas Society of Architects for its 25-Year Award.
Temple Emanu-El in Dallas, one of the most distinguished works of contemporary architecture in Texas built during the 1950s, has been recognized by a jury to receive the Texas Society of Architects 25-Year Award for 2012.
Since its completion in 1986, Fountain Place in downtown Dallas has been praised for both the geometrical precision of its 60-story tower clad in green glass and the extraordinary six-acre urban space that unfurls at its base.
AIA San Antonio announced the results of its 2009 Design Awards at a ceremony at Pearl Stable on Nov. 4. Eight projects from 49 entries were selected for Design Awards in three categories: Honor, Merit, and Citation. The Mayor's Choice Award and the 25-Year Award were also announced at the event.
During the 1960s, as several cities planned to build high-profile vertical symbols of their ambitions toward global prominence, San Antonio erected the Tower of the Americas as the theme structure for HemisFair '68.
The Margarite B. Parker Chapel is essentially unchanged since completed in 1966, a pink-brick Romanesque duomo at the spiritual center of O'Neil Ford's idealized hill-town campus of Trinity University.
In theory, the task of selecting the TSA 25-Year Award is fairly simple. The jury's work this year, however, posed a dilemma—to recognize the best of the lot or to reject it because of tragic events in its past. Of the five nominees one clearly stood out. But as magnificent as the Fort Worth Water Gardens is, no one who knows the park's history can brush aside the fact that six people have died in accidents there since its opening in 1974.
Having enthralled visitors since its opening in 1974, yet despite the grim fact that six people have died there in two harrowing accidents, Philip Johnson's idyllic Fort Worth Water Gardens is recognized this year with the Texas Society of Architects' 25-Year Award. The project notably instills the agitated urban landscape with a refreshing serenity at the south edge of downtown, on a formerly blighted site adjacent to the municipal convention center.
The TSA 25-Year Award is an important public outreach program that focuses much-deserved attention on distinguished Texas architecture of enduring significance. The annual award recognizes a building or ensemble of buildings completed 25 to 50 years before, which has retained its central form, character, and architectural integrity.
"It was the most amazing opening and we were all just delighted," a beaming Raymond D. Nasher told a reporter after more than 150,000 people attended the grand opening of the developer's latest project, NorthPark Center, on Aug. 19, 1965.

Everything you need to know about today's media coverage of Israel and the Mideast.
Israeli victims of Toulouse massacre laid to rest while Muhammed Merah holds off police. The truth behind the upcoming Global March on Jerusalem. Journalists detained in Libya because gunmen mistook Welsh for Hebrew.
Join the Israel Daily News Stream on Facebook.
Toulouse Tragedy & Aftermath
• The four Israeli victims of the Toulouse massacre: Rabbi Yonatan Sandler, his sons Aryeh and Gavriel, and Miriam Monsonego, were laid to rest in Jerusalem today.
• World riveted by Muhammed Merah's standoff with French police. The Guardian and the Daily Telegraph are liveblogging from Toulouse.
• A reader's email perfectly captured my headspace this morning: Toulouse, Twitter and the Media Incitement Factor.
• AFP: The EU issued an amended transcript of Catherine Ashton's speech, which equated the Jews killed in Toulouse with Gaza kids.
The new transcript of Catherine Ashton's remarks mentions the situation of children in both Gaza and the southern Israeli town of Sderot after the first version only mentioned the Palestinian territory.
A video of her speech Monday showed she indeed mentioned Sderot, a town often hit by Palestinian rocket attacks.
How nice of the EU to correct the record. Problem is, Israel's outrage is about the moral equivalence Ashton drew, not about dropping names. As The Commentator points out:
There has not been one single instance, ever, of the Israeli military deliberately targeting Palestinian children in a school in Gaza.
• While Hamas supports Ashton, see Emanuel Navon's take (via David Frum). Melanie Phillips also weighs in.

I did some googling and Stencyl comes up a lot for making games very easily without any code. Are these two programs the most widely used to create mobile games? Are there other tools that are more popular and better to create games with? Curious what the current trend is in the mobile world.
