Another awesome thing is Career opportunities. BU really emphasizes undergrads being able to get real life experience in the fields that they are going to be working in. Most professors also have other jobs in the fields that they are teaching (other than being a professor) which makes it really easy to network, get internships, and eventually jobs when the day comes.
Another awesome thing is Lots of restaurants and cafes on campus

Bangkok, Singapore, Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur and a city in the Middle-East will be home to the first five teams of the inaugural International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) later this year, its organisers said on Tuesday.
The players' draft for the November 28-December 20 league will take place on March 2 in Dubai, IPTL co-founder and Indian double specialist Mahesh Bhupathi told reporters.
"We've got a pretty exciting player field. We are going to announce that in a couple of weeks," Bhupathi said on the sidelines of the Australian Open.
"We're in the middle of one of the biggest tournaments in the year. We don't want to distract from that."
Former number one Lleyton Hewitt confirmed being part of the city-based league which was announced in May last year with a star-studded lineup that also included Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
Among the women, 17-times major winner Serena Williams and twice Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka were named as the headline acts.
"For me when I first heard about it the start of the year, I thought it was a fantastic concept," said Hewitt.
"I've obviously witnessed the Twenty20 cricket really explode as well.
"This has been that format where we get the opportunity to play in a close-knit team which is close to my heart, growing up with Australian football and team sports.
"That's one thing lacking in tennis. We don't get the opportunity to participate in a team," added the 32-year-old Australian.
Every team will have six to 10 players and there will be a $10 million team salary cap, Bhupathi said.

I'm a huge fan of the show and I had several friends recommend the book to me but I really don't have time to read books right now so I decided to get the audiobook. I definitely made the right decision! This book is hilarious and having Miranda herself read it was perfect. I laughed out loud so many times!
"Such Fun!!!"
Absolutely brilliant!!! I've listened to 4 times now and still laughing out load. Last listened to whilst in hospital and had to keep explaining to patients and nurses what I was laughing at. Recommended to all my family and my niece listens to it on the way to school. Can't wait for another book from Miranda. She reads the story brilliantly and really captures you. You definitely become a MDLC.
This is the first audio book I've tried and I have to say I'm loving it. Miranda's voice is superb. I can picture her in my head telling me her funny and very interesting stories.
very funny, insightful and full of the best of Miranda Hart. The whole book is enhanced by Miranda herself reading...it adds an extra quality to the humour. Would recommend to anyone
"prepare to smile!"
Thank you!! It was a joy to listen, it felt like the lovely Miranda was a friend chatting on loud speaker to you, always encouraging you to have a snack, or a hot beverage while she entertained us.... without doubt, the perfect intro to audiobooks, just don't know anything else will compare!!! Well done you Miranda!!!! x
"Brilliant and annoying"
Brilliantly funny audio book and well read by Miranda, but also one of the most annoying, Miranda likes to use acronyms like DLF (dear listener friend). She repeats this and many others through out the whole book. Apart from this, I have to say that I have not laughed as much in a long time, so would thoroughly recommend this book.
"Is It Just Me?"
Miranda Hart reads this in her own unique style. This book is like one you would display on the coffee table and dip into as and when. I particularly enjoyed anecdotes I could easily relate to; that was most of them actually! I can imagine MH reading her book with a beaming smile on her face, as she recollects these humorous events. Her enthusiasm encourages listener to recall own life experiences and I constantly found myself chuckling as I relived similar comedic happenings. A thoroughly good listen, for the observations, even if you are not a MH fan.
"If you're a fan..."
... and 'get' Miranda, you'll love this, which is her TV sitcom applied to the blander parts of her life story. Or maybe her TV sitcom uses parts of her life. Whatever, it's very funny, but would have liked some more depth in parts, to find out more about the lady beneath. Was in danger, as a result, of being 'over Miranda'd by the end, but still highly recommended. If you get Miranda, I do, wife doesn't.
"Miranda Hart"
This is the first time I have downloaded an audio book and thought I would try Is It Just Me? It is a funny book, only listened to the first three chapters so far but have to admit that I have gone back to reading a different book on my Kindle - it's a good thriller and can't put the book down. Is It Just Me? is the type of book you can put down and pick up again in a few days or weeks. Just not enough to keep me hooked.
"Miranda-esque silliness,"
I like to listen whilst doing long boring commutes and something light, entertaining and uplifting is what I need to get me through. Miranda's self narrated novel is exactly that. I'm not sure this would have worked with any other narrator but Miranda pulls it off.
Silly, irreverent and often downright ridiculous, this is a light hearted heartwarmer of an audio book.
Miranda doing what she does best- helping you feel just a little bit better about your life!

The Gujarat Tourism department is hopeful to get Janpan's assistance in developing the much touted "Buddhist circuit" in the state.
Beginning with Devnimori, a Buddhist archaeological site located in Sabarkantha, the tourism department has sought the help of the Japanese government to create an infrastructure worth Rs 500 crore around it. Excavated in 1960, Devnimori houses a monastic centre and a mahastupa containing the ashes of Buddha built by Emperor Ashoka in the 4th century.
"It is a very ambitious project for which we have sought to collaborate with the Japanese government who are already helping Bihar for their Buddhist circuit. We have written to Japan External Trade Organisation, last fortnight to collaborate with us. We are hopeful to get both funding and ideas from Japan as Devnimori is among the seven locations in India that has the relics of Lord Buddha," said Vipul Mittra, principal secretary of state tourism and civil aviation.
He further said a four-member delegation from Japan recently concluded a visit to the Buddhist archaeological spots based in Gujarat like Devnimori, Siddhpur, Haskol Darwaja excavation sites in Vadnagar and Uparkot caves in Junagadh district.
Mittra was speaking on the sidelines of an annual three-day Travel & Tourism Fair that began on Friday in Ahmedabad.
Along with the stupas, the excavations also yielded relics like a casket containing Buddha's ashes and 17 terracotta statues of Buddha which are now housed in the Department of Archaeology at the Maharaja Sayajirao University in Vadodara.
"The government is also planning to construct a temple along with an information centre for the travellers. As we are already reconstructing Shyamlaji temple with an investment of Rs 50 crore, we want to add Devnimori which is just 5 kms from it so that a tourist can spend a day there. Our main target is tourists from south-east Asian countries and we plan to create infrastructure to boost the same," said Kirti Thakker, manager of Tourism Corporation of Gujarat Limited.

Business leaders prefer to regulate themselves. Releasing a pamphlet on the profit-impeding proliferation of red tape six years ago, Business NZ chief executive Phil O'Reilly noted a big increase in the number of regulations - more than 2000 - over the previous seven years. The pamphlet argued for greater use of light-handed regulation and more self-regulation by industries.
Notwithstanding the numbers of new regulations, the so-called "more-market" reforms under the Lange and Bolger governments resulted in a specialised team of six mine inspectors being disbanded in favour of self-regulation by mining companies. The 1999-2008 Labour government kept the arrangement.
The explosion that killed 29 miners at Pike River in 2010 was the horrendous consequence. Production of coal took precedence over safety. The two survivors, on reaching a fresh air base 1500 metres from the exit, found there was no working phone, breathing gear or air supply. And there was just one way in and out of the mine (this would have been illegal in Australia).
The cavalier culture nurtured at Pike River and the short cuts it encouraged, became more shamefully clear this week in the report of the Royal Commission that inquired into the tragedy.
The prompt resignation of Kate Wilkinson as Minister of Labour was appropriate, given the report's criticism of her department's failure to properly supervise the Pike River operations. But remedial action is needed, too, and acting Labour Minister Chris Finlayson encouragingly says the Government broadly accepts all 16 of the Royal Commission's recommendations, which cover administrative reform, stronger regulation, changes to mining legislation, improving workplace health and safety, and emergency management.
Prime Minister John Key perhaps has forgotten that back in 2010 he defended the safety record of mining in this country and rejected suggestions Australia had higher safety standards. Now he has acknowledged safety procedures at Pike River would have been different if officials had been adopting world's best practice and keeping up with safety enhancement in other mining environments. He should also acknowledge that self-regulation is ill-suited to ensuring workers' health and safety.

I booked a flight through United (who's very difficult to reach at the moment) and noticed I only have 1 hr layover from Frankfurt to catch my connecting flight to Florence. I've had a 2 hr layover there before to Munich and that was sufficient time. However last year, I had a 1 hr layover from CDG to MAD and missed our connecting flight.
Has anyone managed to catch a connecting flight from FRA with just 1 hr to spare?

JFK to FRA 1 hr layover
Report Abuse
I've made 50min connections and missed 90min connections. Flights from the US to Europe generally benefit from a tailwind, but 60min does not leave any wiggle room for delays.

As long as it's one ticket the airline is responsible for getting you to your destination. But when does their next flight leave? And will it have any empty seats?
You will have to go through Immigration - which can be lengthy for non-EU citizens.
Can you change your flight now?

I can call United to find out more details...it is one ticket. Thanks!

In my 20+ trips through FRA I've never had immigration take more than 15min. For a tight connection I've even been whisked through a shortcut line by LH agents who were waiting for me to arrive.

I had a connecting time of 2 hrs last fall at FRA, using United.
Barely made it.
One way to guesstimate, is to check flight status to see what terminal the planes are landing / taking off from.
Using a terminal map, you can judge your transit time.

I have lots of little ones, currently we have three little ones: 3 years, 2 years, and 10 months old with another little blessing on the way. We also have a second and third grader, and that requires a good bit of teaching and interaction with me since they are still in very formative years. So inevitably, one question people often ask me is "how do you homeschool with all these little ones around?" The general answer is that it's not easy, but it is doable. And I have found some methods for getting it done, but it is often less than picturesque. The thing we homeschool moms of many eventually come to understand (otherwise we'd lose our sanity) is that we are running a HOME-school…. major emphasis on the home. We are a family in a home environment, and we happen to do school here, among many other things. It will not, and should not (if our priorities are in check) look like a traditional classroom.
Now mamas these are just methods, but we are talking about real-living, active, and energetic babies, toddlers, and preschoolers….. so you know what that's like right? There are interruptions, and often times those interruptions are put there for a very important reason. How we view those interruptions and respond to them is often times more important than what we need to accomplish with school that day. So with that little bit of encouragement, here are some methods for occupying little ones that do work for us most of the time so that we can get our schooling done.
Methods for Occupying Little Ones:
big sister time/ one on one time : Often times I will have one of my older girls play with the little girls in the next room (babysitter style) while I have one-on-one lesson time with the other. This is usually in 15 to 30 minute increments, it works great for working in a quick reading or language arts lesson. Sometimes a snack time is needed to break up the switching of sisters, and sometimes if things are going well the switch can be made pretty easily.
play-pen, high chair, gated independent bedroom play: This has worked for almost all of my babies, toddlers, and preschool age. I will say this is my primary go-to method that I use all throughout my day. It may take the child a few days in a row to get use to it, but they usually catch on and will learn how to play in the contained place with the assigned toy(s) that they are given. I put babies in a play pen with a few toys. Toddlers and preschoolers I put them alone in a gated child-safe bedroom (the gate is more of a reminder because they can get out if they want, but they are trained not to unless they need to go "potty"). I don't give them full access to all their toys (this keeps the mess down), they usually only have one or two sets; sometimes I choose the toys for them and sometimes I let them choose. I don't let my 2 and 3 year old play together in the room alone, that is a recipe for a melt down or for mischief. They do much better separated! High chair play is usually with things like coloring, puzzles, water painting, or play-doh. All of these can usually work for 30 minutes, and sometimes up to an hour unless it is at nap or meal time.
a learning dvd in a high chair: I'm not a big fan of media for kids, but one way that I do use media to my advantage is this. I put my preschool/ toddler children into their high chairs, buckle them up, and show them a carefully selected learning or Bible memory DVD. I use a small portable DVD player at our kitchen table for this since we do not have an actual TV. I like this method for many reasons: First because it forces them to actually watch the show instead of playing and having it as background noise to glance up at every now and then. I also like that it limits their time to that one 30 minute long DVD, and when it is over it is over, and that is our "show" for the day. I like that I have full control of it, I'm very picky about what my kids watch and with the portable DVD player there is no opportunity to switch channels or click on another option.
My thoughts on "blanket time": Some people swear by "blanket time", but honestly I've never been able to have tons of success with that. "Blanket time" for those who don't know is training your child to stay on a blanket and play with a specific set of toys. You train them to do it, and increase the time. I have trained my 2 and 3 year old girls to do it, and they can for a time, but it's more trouble to me than it is worth, and it's definitely not my 'go to' during the homeschool day. It works great at the park or at someone's house if I'm talking with another mom and want my child to stay close, but it doesn't buy me as much time as these above mentioned options, and it requires pretty close supervision and pausing to discipline when they eventually get distracted and climb off the blanket. I could possibly invest more training time in this and see more success, but for now I definitely prefer the other methods because for me they bring about less interruptions.
"Together time" (also referred to as "morning time", "basket time", and other names) : This is also a popular method that many of my friends and mentors love to do with their homeschool. I do this for a short time in the mornings for Bible, hymns, and memory work. This time also doubles as church training time for my younger ones. I require them to sit still and quiet just as they will be expected to do in church. This training time for the littles is so valuable! We use this time in the morning and our family devotions in the evening as our set aside time to teach them to sit still and quiet.
outside or inside free play : On nice days we will all go outside, I bring a few lesson books so the big girls and I can sit on the deck and work through lessons while the little ones play in the yard. Other days when it's not as nice out, I let the littles have free play time in the living room while I do lessons with the big girls. Sure it brings a few extra distractions, but sometimes I think that's good training for my older girls since real-life is not typically "library quiet" every time you need to use your brain.
nap time/rest time : This is definitely some prime time for homeschooling, but it's also prime time for other restful and refreshing activities which is why I really try to do our schooling with the little ones awake. Sometimes we use naps for special lessons, crafts, science experiments, or read aloud time, but for the most part I have all of my children have a quiet hour right after lunch (even the older ones, they color and draw and listen to an audio book). This is when I get a chance to really dig into the Word, journal, and pray. Morning devotions are much more rushed and groggy for me and often times include morning snuggles with a baby or toddler which is lovely, but can be a bit distracting. I really enjoy having this scheduled time with the Lord in the middle of the day when I'm alert and when I really need a refresh the most. My kiddos do often sleep longer than an hour in the day, so after my set aside time in the Word, I often use that extra time for schooling or for chore training (teaching my big girls how to do a new chore, always time well spent!) And sometimes I use it that last half of naptime to get my own nap or a shower when it's needed.
baby sitter/ mother's helper : This is something we are pursuing this year for the first time (Lord willing! But we are still praying about who to hire for this.) Disclaimer: I haven't tried it yet, so I'm only imagining how I think it will work, but I can't wait to find out first hand. After discussing it and praying about it with my husband, we really feel like it will be a good investment for us to have a Christian young lady come to be a mother's helper two mornings a week. I'm planning for her to watch my three younger children in my home while I teach my older two in the homeschool room. Really this is such a win for everyone! This girl will get valuable experience learning about caring for children, homemaking, and homeschooling, as well as an opportunity to make money in a safe work environment. And I will have a very needed extra set of hands to help with the little ones so that I can focus more time on teaching the older two, because like I said above, schooling with lots of little ones is not easy. There are ways to do it, but it requires a lot of intentionality, focus, and energy…. and let's face it, some days we mamas just don't have that in us and school has to take the back seat. It will be so nice to know that two days out of the week are truly set aside for teaching my older children. I know this isn't an option for everyone, but it's certainly worth praying about and considering. I mean, isn't this kind of help all year long way better than a vacation? It is for me! One thing that helped us decide to pursue this was weighing out other potentially helpful options: I looked up some information on a few local co-ops where homeschool students would be taught core subjects in a classroom setting two days a week and have home school assignments for the others. We decided this was not a good fit for our family for three reasons: They cost WAY more than hiring a mother's helper for those two days. And I would not be able to choose the curriculum I want. I also could not choose the teachers or the kind of students that would be influencing my children for those two days each week. We already have Classical Conversations one day a week and our church community at least two days a week, and I feel like that is all of the peer time that I want my children to have at this stage of life. That will likely change as they get older, but for now I see good fruit by keeping that time with peers and other influences limited.
So hopefully you got an idea or two for homeschooling with little ones. You probably also got a little look into how I think, so you either think I'm a nut or you totally agree with me. Either way, I hope this was helpful to you homeschool mamas and that it gives you a few good ideas for the coming school year.

Hotel Finder
Chains, OTAs and Google: time to heal old wounds or go head-to-head?
Google Hotel Finder was hyped as potentially the biggest ever game changer in the ever-evolving travel landscape, but has that really materialized, and has it done what everybody thought it would? And if not, what will be the big disruptors of the next 12 months? Pamela Whitby finds out.
When Google Hotel Finder launched back in 2011 some hotels may have thought that this would work in their favor by driving more direct bookings. It was certainly the impression that Google seemed to want to create, but did this really materialize? Today, is Hotel Finder really a threat to the hotel industry?
HotelPlanner Chief Executive Tim Henschtel thinks not. ŌĆ£At end of day it wasnŌĆÖt disruptive,ŌĆØ he says. In fact, if anything, Hitwise data shows that bookings via OTAs have increased. As Hentshcel points out, this is down to the fact that when it comes to a price-per-click model, everybody is basically paying around the same, and the OTAs can monetize that traffic a lot better than the chains. After all, the OTAs now have over a 100,000 hotels for consumers to choose from, the biggest hotel chain around 5,000.
ŌĆ£It certainly hasnŌĆÖt impacted our company [which deals with online group travel], where corporate group travel is up 25% year-on-year, and leisure group travel demand is up 45%,ŌĆØ he says.
Although Google holds more power than any other in history, for Henschtel the only way it is going to change the travel industry is to take a little bit more money out of it. ŌĆ£Why would they waste their time trying to change who gets what [more direct traffic to hotels]? They are a publicly-owned company, for-profit company not a public service of any kind.ŌĆØ So, in fact, what was hyped as the great disruptor is doing nothing else than to make Google more money.
Unintended consequences
Hentschel wonders if the hotel chains fully understood the unintended consequences of more traffic going to the OTAs from Hotel Finder. ŌĆ£If the chains and OTAs had worked together as a cohesive unit [in the legal battle for fair search] against one search engine that effectively has a monopoly in the industry, maybe these powers would have been strong enough to keep Google from exercising its strength,ŌĆØ he says.
Ultimately the Federal Trade CommissionŌĆÖs decision to settle in the antitrust case against Google for giving its own services top billing and pushing down rival offerings came down to whether that was in the interests of consumers. Antitrust laws protect consumers not competitors. And while Google is more than likely using its internal search power to promote its own services, if that benefits the consumer then there is no case. For online travel services this doesnŌĆÖt seem fair and the only consolation is that if Google services donŌĆÖt stack up, consumers are likely to quickly go elsewhere.
Henschtel is not so worried, arguing that it is harder than you think to change consumer behavior. So if people have a favored OTA or chain, or always turn to a meta-search engine to book, chances are they are likely to stick with that unless there is a really compelling reason not to.
And for hotels like Best Western, that means adding value to the customer. This where ŌĆ£big dataŌĆØ steps in: ŌĆ£We need to be able to segment data in order to get information and better information on our customer so we can target them more accurately,ŌĆØ says Richard Lewis, Chief Executive of Best Western Hotels Great Britain.
Will Google Hotel Finder go further and get into bookings as predicted last year when he gave it 3 years before Google ŌĆ£marched into our territory?ŌĆØ That remains to be seen, but hotels will have to continue to look for the right partners ŌĆō and Google may even have a place ŌĆō providing they ŌĆ£play fair.ŌĆØ In spite of its somewhat sleepy image, Best Western was the first hotel to become fully bookable on Facebook and has not been shy to embrace new partnerships.
As a self-confessed ŌĆ£new breedŌĆØ of hotel, for citizenM it has certainly been a case of adapt or die. ŌĆ£Sometimes one needs to reshift the way business is done and change the fundamentals; that time has arrived right now for many hotels and hotel chains,ŌĆØ says citizenMŌĆÖs Michael Levie.
Why? Because the traditional business segmentation of the hotel industry is changing rapidly without them actually realizing it. ŌĆ£The OTAs are providing cumulative information on behavior patterns, expenses, and anything else they can provide better than individual chains ever could,ŌĆØ says Levie. ŌĆ£The industry better brace itself and adjust the way they do business, or they will go down complaining!ŌĆØ
So maybe this is the time for traditional travel industry players to heal old wounds. The thought of working closely with the ŌĆ£big badŌĆØ OTAs, now even stronger with their foray into meta-search, may stick in the throats of many hotels, but is there another way? Hotels have tried to go down the cooperative route, but just look what happened when Roomkey tried to join forces with Travelocity.
Bigger issues
The bottom line is that Google has a good search product which is why everybody uses it. According to Levie, Hotel Finder will have a big impact. ŌĆ£Google again makes a piece of the market more transparent and visual and it will be interesting how much they will grow this service over time,ŌĆØ he says.
ŌĆ£But we also that know organic search in Google is moving further and further down the page, and that the advertising game is changing rapidly. Hentschel may think that the impact of Hotel Finder has been quite mild, but when it comes to advertising practices ŌĆ£there are lot of things that are a lot more controversial than whether or not Google can embed metasearch into search results for hotels searches for brand names.ŌĆØ Watch out for the full interview with Levie on EyeforTravel.com next week.
With Google advertising becoming increasingly personal and targeted with the evolution of Google+ (see A social signal for 2013: is Google+ where itŌĆÖs at? ), it is only going to get more challenging.
Also things like predictive search have had a huge influence over peopleŌĆÖs purchasing decisions. And the hard, cold reality is that only 10% of users currently go to page 2 when searching on Google.
In Europe, Google, however, faces similar antitrust claims and Hentschel wonders if this could be the real disruptor. After all, in Europe, online consumption is growing rapidly. And while in the US the chains may dominate, in Europe ŌĆō and other emerging markets - the independents have a stronger voice. So everybody will be waiting and watching to see whether Europe will be willing to take a tougher line with Google.
Tim Henstchel, Chief Executive, HotelPlanner; Richard Lewis, Chief Executive, Best Western Hotels Great Britain; and Michael Levie, citizenM are speaking at TDS Europe in London on May 23-24. Join in for what is expected to be a heated and lively debate

Portal:Georgia (U.S. state)
The Georgia (U.S. state) Portal
Georgia i/ˈdʒɔːrdʒⁱə/ is a state located in the southeastern United States. It was established in 1732, the last of the original Thirteen Colonies. Named after King George II of Great Britain, Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the United States Constitution, on January 2, 1788. It declared its secession from the Union on January 21, 1861, and was one of the original seven Confederate states. It was the last state to be restored to the Union, on July 15, 1870.
Georgia is the 24th most extensive and the 9th most populous of the 50 United States. From 2007 to 2008, 14 of Georgia's counties ranked among the nation's 100 fastest-growing, second only to Texas. Georgia is known as the Peach State and the Empire State of the South. Atlanta is the state's capital and its most populous city.
Georgia is bordered on the south by Florida; on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and South Carolina; on the west by Alabama; and on the north by Tennessee and North Carolina. The northern part of the state is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a mountain range in the vast Appalachian Mountains system. The central piedmont extends from the foothills to the fall line, where the rivers cascade down in elevation to the continental coastal plain of the southern part of the state. The highest point in Georgia is Brasstown Bald, 4,784 feet (1,458 m); the lowest point is the Atlantic Ocean.
Georgia is the most extensive state east of the Mississippi River in terms of land area, although it is the fourth most extensive (after Michigan, Florida, and Wisconsin) in total area, a term which includes expanses of water which are part of state territory.

The 1898 Georgia hurricane was the most recent major hurricane to hit the U.S. state of Georgia, as well as the strongest on record in the state. It was first known to exist on September 29, although modern researchers estimated that it developed four days earlier to the east of the Lesser Antilles. The hurricane maintained a general northwest track throughout its duration, and it reached peak winds of 135 mph (215 km/h) on October 2. That day, it made landfall on Cumberland Island in Camden County, Georgia, causing record storm surge flooding. The hurricane caused heavy damage throughout the region, and killed at least 179 people. Impact was severest in Brunswick, where a 16 ft (4.9 m) storm surge was recorded. Overall damage was estimated at $1.5 million (1898 USD), most of which occurring in Georgia. In extreme northeastern Florida, strong winds nearly destroyed the city of Fernandina, while light crop damage was reported in southern South Carolina. After moving ashore, the hurricane quickly weakened and traversed much of North America; it continued northwestward until reaching the Ohio Valley and turning northeastward, and it was last observed on October 6 near Newfoundland.

Macon is a city located in central Georgia, US. Founded at the fall line of the Ocmulgee River, it is part of the Macon metropolitan area, and the county seat of Bibb County. A small portion of the city extends into Jones County. Macon is the biggest city in central Georgia. It lies near the geographic center of Georgia, approximately 85 miles (136 km) south of Atlanta, hence the city's nickname as the Heart of Georgia.

Selected biography
Wadsworth Aekins Jarrell is an African-American painter, sculptor and printmaker. Born in Albany, Georgia, he moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he attended the Art Institute of Chicago. After graduation, he became heavily involved in the local art scene and through his early work he explored the working life of blacks in Chicago and found influence in the sights and sounds of jazz music. In the late 1960s he opened WJ Studio and Gallery, where, along with his wife, Jae, he hosted regional artists and musicians. Mid-1960s Chicago saw a rise in racial violence leading to the examination of race relations and black empowerment by local artists. Jarrell became involved in the Organization of Black American Culture, a group that would serve as a launching pad for the era's black art movement. In 1967, OBAC artists created the Wall of Respect, a mural in Chicago that depicted African American heroes and is credited with triggering the political mural movement in Chicago and beyond. In 1969, Jarrell co-founded AFRICOBRA: African Commune of Bad Relevant Artists. AFRICOBRA would become internationally acclaimed for their politically themed art and use of "coolaid colors" in their paintings. Jarrell's career took him to Africa in 1977, where he found inspiration in the Senufo people of Nigeria. Upon return to the United States he moved to Georgia and taught at the University of Georgia. In Georgia, he began to use a bricklayer's trowel on his canvases, creating a textured appearance within his already visually active paintings. The figures often seen in his paintings are abstract and inspired by the masks and sculptures of Nigeria. These Nigerian arts have also inspired Jarrell's totem sculptures. Living and working in Cleveland, Jarrell continues to explore the contemporary African American experience through his paintings, sculptures, and prints. His work is found in the collections of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, High Museum of Art, The Studio Museum in Harlem and the University of Delaware.
