In the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, Ana, a sensitive seven-year-old girl in a rural Spanish hamlet is traumatized after a traveling projectionist screens a print of James Whale's 1931 "Frankenstein" for the village. The youngster is profoundly disturbed by the scenes in which the monster murders the little girl and is later killed himself by the villagers. She questions her sister about the profundities of life and death and believes her older sibling when she tells her that the monster is not dead, but exists as a spirit inhabiting a nearby barn. When a Loyalist soldier, a fugitive from Franco's victorious army, hides out in the barn, Ana crosses from reality into a fantasy world of her own. Written by Gabe Taverney

Drama

Breakfast Briefing: Responsible Sourcing01 May 20128:00 AM - 10:00 AMVenue:RIBA West Midlands, BMI, Margaret Street, Birmingham, B3 3SPDescription:Responsible sourcing is a mechanism through which construction materials and products are purchased from suppliers that have been audited against specific sustainability criteria, including environmental and social requirements. Many companies now offer certified responsibly sourced products - for example, all the concrete going into the Olympic Park has been certified to BES 6001 (the framework standard developed by BRE Global), but our research has shown a lack of market awareness and understanding of responsibly sourced products.This CPD seminar will help designers understand:why responsible sourcing is important, its benefits and challengeswhat materials are available through approved schemeshow to get responsible sourcing credits in BREEAM and Code for Sustainable HomesUsing a combination of presentations, workshop tasks and debate, delegates will hear about industry-leading research, receive a detailed and objective overview of existing responsible sourcing schemes and collect a complimentary copy of 'The little book of responsible sourcing'. SpeakersDr Jacqui Glass – Senior Lecturer, Loughborough UniversityTrained as an architect, Jacqui has lectured in the UK, the US, Canada and Europe on sustainable design and construction. She has 15 years' experience of delivering training to industry professionals and worked for a major UK trade association prior to becoming an academic. She has published over 100 papers and is leading major three research projects on responsible sourcing. Ian Nicholson – Managing Director, Responsible Solutions Ltd.With over 25 years' experience in the construction industry, Ian has been responsible for developing a number of leading-edge assessment tools for measuring environmental sustainability. He advises organisations on responsible sourcing, was involved in the piloting of the Eco-Reinforcement Sector Scheme and now sits on its Scheme Council.

    speed limit sign - 14.5

    What Happens if we Lose: Speed Limit by Richard Masoner/Cyclelicious, www.flickr.com/photos/bike/4454230687

    In the "Give Away" section of the Autumn Statement late last November, the Chancellor announced that £100m would be available to create 100Mbps urban networks in 10 cities. The four "capital" cities (London, Cardiff, Belfast and Edinburgh) are automatically on the list. Although presumably Edinburgh's position is not as secure as it was. As the current and previous governments like to do, they are running a competition for the other six places. There is background information on Digitalspy and the BBC News site.

    We are lucky that Adam Bird, of Esendex and Creative Class 2011 is involved in Nottingham's bid. A bid which has to be in by 13 February since the winners will be announced in the budget just over a month later.

    Adam has asked for help in convincing Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary, that Nottingham should be fill one of the six empty places on the list. In particular Adam has asked:

    1. [for] Your horror stories about getting decent Internet connectivity to allow you to run your business. How is current market failing you?

    2. How can we convince @Jeremy_Hunt that Nottingham should be a beneficiary of this program outside of the formal proposal process

    Adam (@adambird) tweeted: "please @, DM or email me (adam dot bird at esendex dot com) with any case studies, thoughts, suggestions or offers of help".  He has suggested the hashtag #supernottingham.

    So over to you, Nottingham Creatives. Speed Thrills!
