This day expands on our Tuesday ‘Meditation + Evolution’ evenings\, which provide a fascinating and profound\, experiential exploration of the connection between meditation and living an engaged life. A full day will provide an environment to go more deeply into all aspects of the Tuesday events. The Being aspect will be explored by immersion in the timeless Ground of Being through guided meditation. The Becoming aspect will involve learning how meditation can help us to awaken to the evolutionary impulse that is the very life force within us. The Being and Becoming Day will also give you a taste of the remarkable potentials that emerged in the recent retreat in Tuscany. If you were at the retreat\, it will be an opportunity to immerse yourself once again in the powerful field of spiritual creativity and communion that was created among the participants and that is always - and miraculously - moving forward. For newcomers it will be an opportunity to involve yourself directly in this emerging field. The presenters have many years’ experience of practice and guiding others in evolutionary spirituality. The Tuesday evening events and the Being and Becoming Day form part of a powerful developmental programme called the Discovery Cycle which EnlightenNext launched in the summer of 2009.

Dusty cobwebs hung from the twisted boughs and not a single shaft of sunlight penetrated into the gloom. The air hung thick and motionless like treacle. 'We're not going in there... are we?' He turned and looked up at the dwarf king Owen \, son of Thráin. The Wizard Domdolf interrupted them. ‘Tim\, we have come to recover the Dwarves' sacred letters\, stolen from their witch Zepherine’s spell book by the evil witch Ylwa who lives on the far side of the forest’ he said\, leaning on his staff and furrowing his brow. ‘It is ten days march through and there is no other route.' 'You are our guide\, hobbit\, you must lead the way.’ boomed Owen and crossed his arms across his breastplate. ‘ We must spend the next 10 days undercover making a mighty Flash game. With your woolly-footed design skills\, my developmental battle-axe and Domdolf's digital powers we can create a really good game in just 10 days \, thus defeating the evil Ywla and returning the prestige to the Dwarves that Middle Earth owes us.’ Tim feared that Owen was about to start moaning about the bloody Elves again\, so quickly cut in. ‘Are there\, you know… goblins in the wood?’' ‘Forgetful hobbit!’ bellowed Domdolf. ‘ Seven great goblins live in the wood . Ywla conjured them with her sorcery\, creating them from the very letters in Zepherine’s book. We must create a series of word puzzles that will transform the goblins back into letters .‘ Tim turned back and peered into the gloom\, scratching his head of curly hair like Brian May. Could they really write a really good Flash adventure game in just 10 days? What lay hidden in the forest? He swallowed hard\, knowing he had to be as resolute as Owen and Domdolf. 'Crikey! Well\, OK\, let's give it a bash then\, eh?' he wheezed. 'If we make it through OK\, what say we meet down the hobbit hole at The Werks on Tues 10th November at 7pm for a jolly good chat about it\, over tea and cakes?' He straightened his knife in his leather belt and stepped tentively into the wood\, swiftly followed by the other two.

The evening will also include recorded readings from writers\, actors and musicians including Nick Cave\, Clarke Peters (Lester Freamon in The Wire) and Stephen Fry\, among others. In the afterlife you may find that God is the size of a microbe and unaware of your existence. Or you may find the afterlife contains only those people whom you remember. In some afterlives you are split into all your different ages\, in some you are recreated based on your credit card records\, and in others you are forced to live with annoying versions of yourself that represent what you could have been. These are stories about what might happen to us after we die. But more importantly they tell us something about what it is to be human and how to live and appreciate our lives now. ’You will not read a more dazzling book this year than David Eagleman’s Sum. If you read it and aren’t enchanted I will eat 40 hats.’ Stephen Fry 'Sum is terrific. It’s such a good idea that I was grinding my teeth all the way through wishing I’d thought of it first. The inventiveness\, the clarity and wit of the prose\, the calm air of moral understanding that pervades the whole thing\, add up to something completely original. I hope Sum will be the great big hit it deserves to be.' Philip Pullman 'Witty\, bright\, sharp and unexpected . . . as surprising a book as I’ve read for years. Every story is a new Heaven.' Brian Eno Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives is published by Canongate priced £9.99.

A film or theatre production involves many contributors\, from the script writer to the costume designer to the producer. Each of the various creatives can claim IP rights\, such as copyright\, in their work\, but they won't own the IP of the whole of the production. The result is a work that accumulates IP like a pyramid\, which means that identifying rights' owners and putting appropriate agreements in place can be a daunting task even for an experienced theatre or film producer. (Module 1)When: 11.11.09 at 18:00 Where: Waterside Arts Centre\, Waterside Plaza\, Sale\, M33 7ZF We will identify the legal framework of complex creative environments and explain which IP rights are involved in a traditional film or theatre production in which many creative professionals collaborate. A legal expert will advise what kind of agreements need to be in place and when best to negotiate terms and conditions with contributors\, such as the script writer or set designer. (Module 2)When: 25.11.09 at 18:00 Where: Waterside Arts Centre\, Waterside Plaza\, Sale\, M33 7ZF This module is all about clearing rights when you are not directly collaborating with the rights owner but would like to use their work for your film or theatre play\, such as a piece of recorded music or photography. How do you identify rights invested in the piece and how can you clear the rights to use safely? Admission is free however places are limited. To find out more or to register and book online please visit: http://www.own-it.org/events. These events are organised by Own-it in collaboration with Creative Industries Trafford/Manchester.

Organised by Professor Michael Bonsall (University of Oxford) and Professor Brian Charlesworth FRS (University of Edinburgh) Synopsis In Darwin's day\, a lack of understanding of inheritance meant that the theory of evolution was incomplete.

After three totally sold-out events in 2009\, we’re returning to give the year a final send-off with one more Garuda night at Sankeys. We’ve had our work cut out to find a line-up that could match our last two\, but we think we might have just about nailed it. Our guest headliner is Sander van Doorn\, who\, to coin a cliché\, really needs no introduction. At no.13 in the current DJ Mag poll\, his meteoric rise over the past few years has seen him go from the king of tech-trance into one of the most globally successful and in-demand DJs on the planet. Collabs with Robbie Williams\, remixes for The Killers and Depeche Mode: SvD’s the real deal and we’re proper excited to have him behind the decks at Sankeys for an exclusive three-hour set in his first Manchester appearance for years. Also in the main room is Garuda boss Gareth Emery\, who’s been on fire throughout 2009. After an incredible year both in the studio and behind the decks\, Emery’s blowing up in a big way and there’s no better place to see him than at his own night. After two epic three hour sets at Sankeys so far in 2009\, we think you know what to expect\, although this time he’ll be taking the second slot so be prepared for a more late night uplifting set full of peak time trance and Emery classics. Unmissable stuff. After hosting Spektrum in April and August\, Wrong:Format have well and truly made the room their own\, so we’ll be leaving the house music in their more than capable hands once again. They’ll also be joined by a big name guest headliner to fill the boots of the inimitable Fergie – announcement coming soon. This time\, we’re also upping the stakes on the production front and are bringing in a dedicated VJ and laser specialist to ensure we get the best out of Sankeys new LED wall and multi-coloured laser. We’re also assured by Sankeys that their much-vaunted room cooling ice cannons WILL be ready\, but we hate promising things that we don’t deliver\, and therefore won’t be confirming this until we’ve seen them with our own eyes\, so we’ll keep you posted.

Having decided to get married\, the prosperous and complacent proprietor of a high-class provision emporium leaves the shop in the charge of two assistants so that he can wine and dine his intended in town.

As they dodge their employer (and others) through Vienna in pursuit of wine\, women and song the precise intricate machinery of plot and sub-plot is soon whirring at full speed to deploy all the elements of classic farce. Tom Stoppard's technical and verbal skills are at their hilarious best.

The event is split over two fantastic venues: WOW Academy and\, in the afternoon\, the National Media Museum. What is a BarCamp? BarCamps are community conferences\, run by volunteers. Nobody is charged for attending a BarCamp although everyone is expected to give a presentation or lead a discussion session. Due to the nature of the event there are a number of costs incurred which make great sponsorship opportunities for local businesses\, regional tech/industry companies and international companies looking to increase their exposure amongst the Yorkshire technology\, creative and digital communities. In November 2007\, Yorkshire held its first BarCamp event in Leeds\, where the folks that came created a programme of sessions themselves. BarCamps are open\, participatory\, democratic\, 'workshop' events\; the organisers and sponsors simply provide wireless broadband\, a venue\, beverages and food. The enthusiastic attendees provide the content - and the buzz! BarCamps are great opportunity to network and a great environment to learn about new technologies\, media\, thought leadership and practice from the very people that make the digital industries work each day. This year\, we plan to host a BarCamp in Bradford and we’re expecting 130 attendees from Yorkshire and across the country with live linkups with BarCamps in the US\, Canada and India. We are also seeking to link in with the Bradford Animation Festival 2009 which finishes on November 14. With this in mind we will be encouraging those presenting to look at new developments in film\, animation and digital media and offer a Superstar Speaker supported by an appropriate sponsor such as Google. With that in mind we would also love to hear from anyone who is currently working on an Android app. We'd love for you to come - if you're a creative\, an artist\, a writer\, blogger\, technologist\, or a developer\, geek\, entrepreneur\, academic researcher\, gamer or investor please join us. If you were just curious and interested in digital culture - we'd love to meet you too. Come and demo\, talk\, share or just hang out! Follow us on TWITTER for further updates.

After playing Australia the week before\, Martin Johnson’s squad will face the challenge of an Argentina side that finished third in the 2007 Rugby World Cup and who have recently been invited to join the Tri-Nations in 2012. The Test represents a rare opportunity for families and friends to sample the unique Twickenham atmosphere\, and with the likes of British and Irish Lions duo Ugo Monye\, Tom Croft and 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson in contention for the starting fifteen\, there will be no shortage of action to excite the fans. England Team Manager\, Martin Johnson said: “The Pumas are an extremely gifted side and they are ahead of England in the world rankings on merit. Argentina proved again in the summer what an excellent side they are. Like all of the England squad and the fans – who I am sure will create a really good atmosphere – I am looking forward to the game on November 14.” England has played their Argentine counterparts 14 times since their first meeting in May 1981\, winning 9 times\, losing four and drawing once. *Tickets for the Investec Challenge Series match between England and Argentina are available priced at £45 and £65 for adults and £10 for under 16s via www.rfu.com/tickets.
