Jacaranda House was all that we expected and more. The house is just like the pics show on the website but even better when you see it in person! Christine gave us great customer service and Ulin, the house manager, was always available to lend a helping hand or advice. The views were incredible and the open air concept was perfect for our party of six. Grafton Beach is a 5 to 10 min walk down he mountain and is beautiful. Jacaranda House is close to many nearby beaches, especially Pigeon Point(20 min drive), and there is a grocery store(Penny Savers) 10 mins away if you want or need to stock up on groceries. I recommend renting a car so you can see the island. Our family had a great vacation and highly recommend Jacaranda House for anyone interested in renting a Villa for their Tobago vacation. Looking forward to returning one day!
Really lovely spacious villa with great views over the bay. All the facilities we needed and Ulin the housekeeper was really helpful. Tobago is fantastic with a Tropical Rainforest, beautiful empty beaches (Pirates Bay is the best) , coral reefs, tropical fish, humming birds, great fresh fish to eat and plenty of Rum Punch- Looking forward to returning.
My family and I stayed at this villa for two weeks and had a lovely time. The villa itself is mainly open plan and has far reaching views of the caribbean sea which is absolutely gorgeous. It has everything you will need during your stay although the cooker only has two settings which took some getting used to. Jacaranda house is situated within walking distance to a variety of shops, bar and restaurant although if you hire a car there are many more within a short drive. The villa comes with a housekeeper (Ulin) and a night watchman (Mr Alexander), they are both lovely people who will make you feel at home with their fun personalities and cheery smiles.There was plenty of wildlife at the villa during our stay so this could be seen as a plus or minus depending on your outlook and the variety of birds seen were amazing.
The island of tobago is breath taking and you will be spoilt for choice by the many beaches there. You could think they were private as none were overcrowded and the views went on for miles.Would recommend hiring a car so you can see the whole island and get a taste of tobago.
Jacaranda house provides you with a lovely place to stay where you can relax with family or friends but if you like nightlife this is never far away.
I would also like to point out what great customer service i received from the owner before we travelled it was invaluable. He was always available to answer questions however trivial.
Would definitely recommend this villa as we had such a great time both in and out of the pool and as i have already said it makes a great base as its within easy reach of many beaches and other amenities.
Jacaranda house was better than I had imagined! The house is beautiful, with a nice private pool and panoramic views of the ocean. This villa is perfect for people looking for a relaxing vacation where you can either cook meals at the house or go out to restaurants close by.
The property was very well-maintained, and the housekeeper was very knowledgeable and helpful. The owner provided great customer service in the weeks leading up to our stay. I would recommend this property to anyone staying on the island of Tobago!
If you're there on a Sunday night, you have to check out "Sunday School" in Buccoo. It's a fun party that has a good mix of locals and tourists, all dancing to the sound of a steel pan band. It was the highlight of our trip!
I spent a week with friends in Jacaranda House. It was perfect! The house was everything I expected and hoped for. It's very well designed and unique - the master bedroom, kitchen, living and dining rooms are on the first floor with open verandahs and spectacular, uninterrupted views of the sea. The other bedrooms are on the ground floor and also have views out to sea The garden is full of exotic plants, including an amazing bougainvillea which attract the birds. There are plenty of sun loungers. The pool is deep enough for diving and long enough for doing lengths!
During our stay we were looked after brilliantly by Ulin, the housekeeper. She's an amazing cook too.
Tobago has many beaches and plenty of opportunities for water sports. The restaurants are varied in cuisine and price - from beach shacks to fine dining! Our favourite was The Fish Pot just below the house - the freshest fish you'll ever find and at really reasonable prices.
I can really recommend Tobago and Jacaranda House in particular.
"What can you say about this villa that has not been said, put it this way a few years ago i stayed nearby at santuary villas and thought that was lovely, i also went to a restaurant called the stonehaven pavillion where the views were out of this world. Well all this changed when i stayed at Jacaranda, the views were simply stunning and the space was fantastic, so good were the views i went to the same restaurant, and it was the food that myself and friends talked about and not the views.
The maid service was fab also, a meal was waiting for us when we arrived a lovely local dish, all we had to do was heat it up spot on after a long trip, the money was irrelevant about £12.00 for 4 of us plus ingredients.
The beds were changed daily and the villa was cleaned everyday. Ulin was her name, or mum would be also a good name as she is so kind and thoughtful.
The owners were very helpful right up to the point of going giving us all the info we could possibly need.
Not a lot more i can say really apart from go on about the island which i love, another must for anyone is Castara beach heaven on earth with views to die for and a bar of pure delight.
See you soon. "

Delas Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron 2009
Winemaker Notes
Critical Acclaim
Very enticing, with roasted herb, olive and spice notes flittering in front of darker pastis, blackberry paste and briar notes. The long, grippy finish is iron-driven, with a lovely tangy mesquite note adding complexity. Best from 2014 through 2024.
The 2009 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron exhibits lots of spice, raspberry, cassis, licorice, incense, Christmas fruitcake and fried bacon notes. The smokiness, seductiveness, lusciousness and medium to full-bodied, round, generous texture make for an endearing, sexy Cote Rotie to enjoy over the next 10-15 years. There is not much of the Cote Rotie La Landonne (approximately 500 cases produced), but it ranks alongside the great La Landonnes made by Marcel and Philippe Guigal.
Vivid ruby. Red and dark berries and star anise on the fragrant nose. A juicy, seamless midweight that shows the elegant side of Cote-Rotie. Fresh black raspberry and cherry flavors put on weight with air while maintaining brightness. Closes with strong spicy cut and grip.
Delas FreresView all wine
Delas Frères cultivates vineyards on the steep granite slopes of the northern Rhône, in some of the region's most prestigious appellations. Additional grapes are supplied through long-term agreements with southern Rhone growers dedicated to providing only top quality grapes.

Find your nearest Everyman cinema and explore the world of film with Time Out.
A Better Life
After serving Philip Pullman ('The Golden Compass') and Stephenie Meyer ('Twilight: New Moon'), Chris Weitz was presumably looking for material on which he could put his own stamp, which perhaps explains this semi-worthy, semi-arthouse East LA spin on the neorealist saga 'Bicycle Thieves'. Illegal Mexican immigrant Carlos (Demián Bichir) toils away each day, tending the gardens of wealthy Angelenos, and although his lack of legitimate ID makes him circumspect, the opportunity to buy his retiring boss's pick-up truck and take over the business himself is not one to miss. It means borrowing money but promises a better future for his US-born-and-raised adolescent son Luis (José Julián). However, actually getting behind the wheel of the truck is only the start of his problems…Pitched as an educational journey for white-bread America, the film oozes sympathy and thrums with indignation as it lays out poor Carlos's limited options for the pursuit of happiness. Although there's more mainstream gloss here than you'd find in the usual grainy handheld indie pic, Weitz holds back on button-pushing special pleading, helped by Bichir's persuasive everyman and Julián's credibly sullen teen. It's in trying to deliver a story that is both social-consciousness raiser and saga of father-son cross-generational transcultural understanding that the effort begins to tell. The didacticism takes the shine off Weitz's accomplishment, even if the film builds up enough empathy to generate slow-burning
Asterix and Obelix: Mansion of the Gods
Is it time to admit defeat? There have been five Asterix movies since 2002 and all of them, it's fair to say, have been pretty dreadful. Is it possible that Goscinny and Uderzo's comic strips about the indomitable Gaul just aren't filmable? 'The Mansions of the Gods' is largely faithful to its source, the one where Julius Caesar decides to defeat the Gauls not by strength of arms but by Romanising them out of existence. To this end, he orders a housing project to be built on Asterix's doorstep, in an attempt to show the rebellious barbarians the benefits that civilisation can bring. Jokes about encroaching urbanisation may have been relevant in 1971 when 'The Mansions of the Gods' was published – now it all feels weirdly conservative. So too do Asterix's efforts to stop the Roman invaders immigrating to his beloved Brittany. And the animation is lacklustre, turning Goscinny's sprightly illustrations into plasticky CGI. But the really disastrous decision was picking well-known comedians to dub the voices. None of them sound remotely engaged, and plummy-accented 28-year-old Jack Whitehall as middle-aged French everyman Asterix is just unforgivable.
The Axe
Adapted from a Donald Westlake novel, Costa-Gavras' latest is a far-fetched crime tale with a welcome and successful black comic edge. José Garcia is excellent as put-upon suburban everyman, Bruno Davert, who loses his well-paid job at a corporate paper company and is unable to find another position to support his family. Bruno's solution is radical (ridiculous even, which serves to highlight the desperation of his position): he decides to assassinate his unemployed industry rivals one by one. Gavras strikes a fine balance between tragedy and comedy so that the wildness of his story never seems to matter. Thrilling and funny.
Boxing Day
British director Bernard Rose brings his exemplary trilogy of modern-day updates of short works by Leo Tolstoy to a close with this version of the story 'Master and Man', about a rich man and a peasant caught in wintry conditions. As ever, the attractively louche and world-weary Danny Huston stars, this time as Basil, an embattled and haughty property speculator from Los Angeles who abandons his family to take a post-Christmas tour of foreclosed properties in snowy Denver in the company of Nick (Matthew Jacobs), a schlubby, likeable driver with marital woes. Rose continues in the improvisatory, handheld style of the two previous films in the series, 'Ivansxtc' (2000) and 'The Kreutzer Sonata' (2008), and his spin on Tolstoy's story proves timely and persuasive: as the weather becomes colder, so a thaw develops between Basil and Nick's more attractive everyman. The backdrop of the current financial crisis lends 'Boxing Day' a further relevance. Neither this nor its predecessor matches the bite of 'Ivansxtc', but this is clever and topical nonetheless.
The Caiman
Nanni Moretti released this attack on Silvio Berlusconi in the run-up to Italy's elections last April, when the businessman-politician failed to win a third term. It's surprising, though, considering the film's positioning as a political instrument, how little 'The Caiman' actually deals directly with Berlusconi and how little effort Moretti makes in constructing a case against him. The film's real interest is fictional delight Bruno Bonomo (Silvio Orlando), a flailing producer of appalling B-movies such as 'Mocassini Assassini' who reluctantly agrees to back a cinematic attack on the politician when young writer-director Teresa (Jasmine Trinca) thrusts her script into his hands. It's only when he begins the soul-destroying process of finding financiers and actors that he warms a little to Teresa's cause. His mild awakening is superceded by a personal crisis: not only is his career in tatters, but he and his wife (Margherita Buy) are separating. As he struggles to balance family and work, we see some imagined scenes from his Berlusconi film, each reflecting a different stage in its production and each showing Berlusconi played by a different actor, including Moretti himself.Moretti's portrait of a loser lingering in the doldrums of Italian cinema is wittily scripted and lightly played. He posits Bruno (an everyman, if he weren't a filmmaker) as a reflection of a sick society. In that sense, 'The Caiman' is subtly political rather than a coruscating, detailed ad hominem attack
Children of Men
Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón once again proves his dexterity at turning his hand to different genres and subjects with this thrilling adaptation of a PD James novel, which is his first film since directing 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' and his first screenwriting credit since his 2001 arthouse hit 'Y Tu Mamá También'. Set in Britain in 2027, it's a sort of sci-fi movie, but it's the film's nervous and energetic verité style, and creepy familiarity – not any wild vision of the future – that make it so involving. It helps, too, that Cuarón doesn't allow the writing or the performances, most notably from Clive Owen and Michael Caine, to sink amid the film's futuristic detail and pointed ideological concerns.'Children of Men' is a clever and credible vision of London in the near future – a violent, paranoid, claustrophobic time when Britain is the only surviving nation, and a fertility crisis means that no babies have been born for 18 years. The Department of Homeland Security has ordered a militarised police to arrest all illegal immigrants and dispatch them to a fortified compound at Bexhill-on-Sea. Meanwhile, a rebel outfit of guerilla refugees (or 'fugees') known as The Fish loom threateningly in the background, fighting for the rights of illegal immigrants and determined to cause major unrest. Cuarón's smart trick is not to explain too much. Instead, he leaps straight in to his story, which is a good old-fashioned chase yarn that's gilded with some unobtrusiv
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Not too long ago, Steven Spielberg went public with his regrets about the climax of his 1977 science-fiction masterpiece 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'. As a husband and father, he says he no longer believes in the story of a man who abandons his family to explore the stars. And he's got a point. For all its dewey-eyed optimism regarding creatures from another world, 'Close Encounters' is pretty uncomfortable with the inhabitants of this one. Everyman hero Roy (Richard Dreyfuss) may be a loveable, star-gazing dreamer, but his wife is a nag who doesn't understand him, his kids are shrieking pre-pubescent lunatics and let's not even start on the shady military types who start nosing around following Roy's night-time run-in with a flying saucer. This lurking emotional discomfort is just one of the fascinating things about 'Close Encounters'. Sure, the story's thrilling and the set-piece special effects are still unrivalled – the mothership cresting Devil's Tower stands as one of the few literally jawdropping moments in cinema. But all these years later, it's the tricky personal stuff that makes the film remarkable: the depiction of a man crumbling under the pressure of forces he can't understand; the riotous, relatable scenes of madcap family life; the sense that it's a film as much about the pressures of creative inspiration as alien contact. Those pressures may be why 'Close Encounters' remains the only film credited to Spielberg as sole writer and director. Given that i
Die Hard 4.0
So far the 'Die Hard' series has offered scenes of civil aviation hijack, skyscraper attack (with falling bodies) and a New York besieged by explosions. Nothing unusual then: in the years before 9/11, grand-scale civilian terror was a staple Hollywood pleasure; 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' (1995) even showed Manhattan office workers munching popcorn as they survey the carnage below. In the event, of course, people took terrorist attack rather more personally than that, both in the moment and in dealing with the fall-out. Inspired by a WIRED article about the threat to homeland security from systems hacking, 'Die Hard 4.0' happily exploits the dire potential consequences of such 'soft strike' tactics, yet proposes the decidedly September 10 solution of an individual hero – and banks on its audience reaching for the popcorn, like in the good old days.Once again, NYPD cop John McClane (Bruce Willis) is in the wrong place at the wrong time – in this case, Washington, DC, on Independence Day, just as forces unseen conspire to shut down the security and transport systems of the city and its neighbours. Chaos ensues and McClane girds himself to save the day with blood 'n' grit, assisted by unworldly but tech-savvy hacker Matt Farrell (Justin Long, who played similar roles in 'Galaxy Quest' and 'Dodgeball'). In the other corner are high-kickin' Maggie Q, clench-jawed, bug-eyed Timothy Olyphant and some French blokes who know parkour (bien sûr). McClane's teenage daughter (Mary Elizabe
Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey
In most respects, Journey has followed the same path as many other arena-rock acts: Having hit big in the '70s and '80s, the group watched its future dim as internal strife made it hard to push forward, and listeners moved on to new sounds. Then came a fallow period, followed by a revival-circuit return—minus a few key members—for lucrative engagements in front of nostalgic crowds. (See also: Styx, Kansas, Grand Funk Railroad.) After reuniting with vocalist Steve Perry for a late-'90s comeback album then going their separate ways, the San Francisco band went through several prospective warblers, before their story took an odd turn. A permanent replacement was found in the form of Arnel Pineda, a Manila singer the group discovered singing Journey covers on YouTube—and sounding uncannily like the voice behind their biggest hits. Unfortunately for this rock doc, this fan-to-frontman saga is not that interesting a turn. Pineda's story—which involves extreme childhood poverty and some grown-up struggles with substance abuse—is compelling, but not compellingly told, with the new singer appearing to be little more than an affable guy who understands how lucky he's gotten. Beyond that, the film mostly features a lot of touring tedium and unspectacular concert footage, though director Ramona S. Diaz manages to wring what drama she can out of Pineda contracting a cold. Spoiler alert: He gets better.
The start of this grim fairy tale – adapted by David Mamet from his own 1982 play – is ominous in more ways than one. Not only does the titular salaryman's encounter with a clairvoyant convince him to change his life – he immediately abandons his unsuspecting wife (Rebecca Pidgeon, naturally) for the neon-lit mean streets of sin city and, inevitably, a long, dark night of the soul – but the heavily brooding atmospherics hint that we, like Edmond (William H Macy, naturally), may be in for a confusing, even bruising ordeal. For, as the wide-eyed everyman follows the advice of a barfly (Joe Mantegna…) by visiting bars and bordellos in search of revitalising sex, it's impossible to tell whether the endless humiliations he suffers or his subsequent manic exhilaration at rediscovering his 'masculine' ability to take control is meant as a metaphor for the alienated plight of modern man or as satirical black comedy. That it's hardly funny suggests the former; that it's absurdly overwrought the latter. Either way, the film fatally duplicates not only the casual sexism of its white males, but also – in its crude depiction of various black characters – the racism to which they give characteristically repetitive Mametian voice. There's homophobia, too, of course; and if the coda's deep irony mitigates against such charges, that doesn't stop the rest of the movie leaving a sour taste.Representational ethics apart, the film piles cliché upon cliché, and any claims its authors may make to i
Everyman Belsize Park
Formerly known as the Screen on the Hill, the Everyman Belsize Park is now part of the Everyman group of luxury cinemas, which includes the Everyman Hampstead and the Everyman Screen on the Green. Nestled among bars and restaurants in Belsize Park, this is a single-screen cinema with 113 standard seats and 16 premier seats – but the standard seats are pretty fancy too (leather armchairs and sofas). The films are a mix of mainstream and independent, and the food and drink is of the superior kind. This was the first of the luxury Everyman cinemas and so is something of a flagship, alongside its near-neighbour the Everyman Hampstead.
Everyman Hampstead
This is the original cinema of the Everyman chain of luxury cinemas – known as the Everyman long before there was ever a group. The venue's two screens are decidedly upscale: each with armchairs, sofas (as well as a sprinkling of deluxe two-seater sofas in the larger screen) and staff serving food and drinks at your seat. The programming is a mix of mainstream and independent, so you can expect to see big blockbusters here as well as artier British and international films.
The first release of 2016 from Bollywood's biggest romantic superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, is a major departure from his recent slide into silly overblown action comedies. This is a psychological thriller about a fan's irrational obsession with a superstar and the tragic consequences that inevitably follow. Wearing prosthetics, Khan plays Delhi boy Gaurav, whose favourite film hero is Aryan Khanna (Khan again). When Gaurav wins a local talent competition he decides to use the prize money to go to Mumbai to meet his idol. When Khanna refuses to grant him five minutes of his time, Gaurav is enraged and plots to destroy his hero. There is much to commend in this engaging film: it's all the better for being song-less, the obligatory romantic subplot is minimal and 'Fan' realistically explores the Indian everyman's fixation with buff ageing male actors. Best of all Khan drops his hammy antics to genuinely get under the skin of the delusional superstar character. There are also several funny in-jokes about what it is really like to be 'SRK', Khan's brand image. Alas, after a successful first-half set-up, director Maneesh Sharma almost derails his propulsive plot when the action shifts to lengthy and potboiler-style chase sequences across London and Croatia. A little more restraint in maintaining the tonal consistency would have resulted in a much darker and satisfying cautionary tale about the perils of fame and blind love.
Film4 Frightfest, alfresco cinema, a musical double bill and more film fun
Each week, we round up the most exciting film events happening in London over the coming week, from pop-ups and one-offs to regular film clubs, outdoor screenings and festivals. Here's this week's top five… 1. Film4 Frightfest: 'Hawk the Slayer' Somewhere in the mists of time (or dry ice to you and me), Hawk the Slayer roamed a land of painted backdrops, cardboard castles, and gauze-infested forests, fighting Evil and bringing Peace. His team: a dwarf, an elf, a giant and a witch who can turn a useful trick or two. His opponents: the rest of the world captained by big brother Jack Palance, a dirty player if ever there was one. The object of the game: kill each other. Sure, this not-quite-epic sword 'n' sorcery adventure is pretty daft. But with director Terry Marcel launching a Kickstarter campaign to make long-awaited sequel 'Hawk the Hunter' (alongside composer Rick Wakeman!) we think it's well worth revisiting. Vue West End, 3 Cranbourn St, WC2H 7AL. Sun Aug 30, 1.20pm. £13.25. 2. Last Resort A great excuse to check out the ultra-cool, DIY Deptford Cinema. In this compassionate, low-key British drama, Tanya and son Artiom arrive at Stansted airport from Moscow but don't get past immigration. Her fiancé never shows. She claims political asylum. The pair are dumped in Stonehaven (aka Margate) in midwinter, where they're expected to subsist on vouchers until their case can be considered. But the desolation of this grey open prison is not allowed to overshadow a tender

Imagine what your life would have been like if you were a 12-year-old French princess married off to the heir to the English throne in 1308 — and realized he was deeply in love with another man, his courtier.
In her insightful and compelling biography, Alison Weir brings alive the tragic story of Edward II, his wife, Queen Isabella, her lover, Roger Mortimer, and the seething world of medieval sexual politics, violence, powerful feuding lords and money trouble. (Related excerpt: Read a preview of Queen Isabella)
Queen Isabella: Treachery, Adultery and Murder in Medieval England By Alison Weir Ballantine, 488 p.p., $27.95
The beautiful, quick-witted Isabella bore Edward II four living children and achieved a reputation as a peacemaker.
But his passionate attachment to two men eventually turned his country, his nobles and his wife against him.
With her English lover Mortimer, Isabella, who had left for France, led a successful invasion of Britain in 1325.
The weak Edward was deposed in favor of his son, Edward III, and Isabella was seemingly implicated in Edward II's death.
For centuries, she has been known as the "She-Wolf of France," the most hated queen in English history.
But the acclaimed Weir offers well-researched surprise after surprise about the sensual, rather avaricious but eminently admirable Isabella.
Most of all, the historian helps the reader to understand the past without imposing our value system on a very different world.
Another reviled queen is rehabilitated. This time, it is the lovely, frivolous Marie Antoinette, who may have lost her head but regains her reputation in this historical novel disguised as Antoinette's diary.
The Hidden Diary of Marie Antoinette By Carolly Erickson St. Martin's, 342 p.p., $24.95
Erickson begins her historical novel in the Austrian court of Marie Antoinette's powerful mother, the Empress Maria Theresa. The pretty Marie is selected as the bride of the French dauphin, Louis XVI.
Unfortunately, the shy, rather simple Louis finds his duties as the heir to the French throne to be difficult and taxing — including having sex with his 14-year-old bride. (They would eventually have four children.)
The glittering but corrupt French court, the growing turmoil, the brutal poverty, the intrigues are all illuminated here. Having written non-fiction accounts of Marie Antoinette's life, Erickson weaves in historically accurate details.
What is most impressive about this fictional depiction is its sympathetic portrayal of the doomed king who ruled poorly but died bravely.
The subtitle of this divine biography of the woman who caused all the trouble in Troy gives a sense of Bettany Hughes' sizzling writing style.
Helen of Troy: Goddess, Princess, Whore By Bettany Hughes Knopf, 458 p.p., $30
The author, a young British historian, explores not only the Bronze Age babe but also what she has meant throughout history and the cultural significance of being both desired and despised.
Because details about the real Helen of Sparta are understandably scarce, Hughes covers the range. She looks at fertility cults, women's roles, the writings of Homer and the terrain of Greece, North Africa and Asia Minor.
Queen Emma and the Vikings: A History of Power, Love and Greed in 11th-Century England By Harriet O'Brien Bloomsbury, 264 p.p., $24.95
Clearly, the phrase "you go, girl" was invented for this dame.
"Emma was to be exceptional, taking centre-stage and becoming the most notoriously determined, manipulative and forceful female in western Europe," British journalist Harriet O'Brien writes.
The author plunges readers into medieval Europe, where the Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Normans vied for control — through marriage, intrigue or, most often, violence.
Born in the 980s, the Norman Emma would marry two kings of England (Aethelred and Cnut). She was mother of two kings and great-aunt of William the Conqueror. In an age when women had few rights and little protection, Emma would survive and often thrive. She died at the then-impressive age of nearly 70 on March 6, 1052.
Despite the difficulty of researching a period with few surviving records, O'Brien brings alive her subject's world through well-chosen details about food, language and feasting.
The biography also makes clear that Emma possessed a very pragmatic nature. While widows were usually parked in a convent, Emma married her first husband's enemy.

Garland ISD (LCHS & NGHS) Education - Withholding Accommodations entitled to the kids Garland Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
My son is a Junior in LCHS, makes around a 3.5 GPA and has had accommodations in place since 2 or 3rd grade. Just recently it was brought to my attention that he isn't "entitled" to these accommodations since he is passing. The TEA State law states the child's grades have NO impact on the decision for accommodations or not.
My son has had ADD forever, we suspect he has Dysgraphia and have requested him to be tested around 45 days ago without reply until I call today - State law only allows 60 days for this request to be fulfilled. My son is NOT dumb by any stretch of the imagination in fact he is extremely smart. He earned his Eagle Scout Rank at age 14, but there are times when he needs a little assistance due to the Dysgraphia signs he displays. He has also recently been diagnosed with a mild case of scoliosis which is another reason he needs accommodations. I found out from reading the state laws that once a student is a Senior no additional accommodations can be added if I read that correctly.
There is an emergency meeting called for Thursday, 15 May 2014, 02:45:00pm (Central Daylight Time) at GISD. If you want to participate and help me get my son the accommodations and awards he has earned, please reply asap to the email address attached to the report.

I have recently ran into some problems with the way I originally set up my database and I am now in the process of fixing these problems so that future updates of the site are much easier
I have a mysql table which contains many faculty members. Each member is assigned to a department. ON the website itself one can click on each individual department to find the faculty members. The problem occurs when the department is more than one word because the PHP page simply uses GET to retrieve which department to display. so for example I have Counter and that works perfectly but accounts payable does not.
So I have decided to create a table that has the departments listed by name and by ID. EXAMPLE
counter Counter
accountspayable Accounts Payable
I created this table already and now I want to change the faculty table where there faculty positions is listed. So if they in Accounts Payable I want it to say accountspayable. What is the easiest way to go about changing all of these fields in the table?

Raine knew nobdy felt her pain. She knew she was the one to blame. if she ws there they wouldn't have killed her grandmother. If she was there her grandmother would still be alive.
Rayne sat on her porch cold and alone, looking at the peaceful sky that shined bright that night. She wrapped her thin yellow cover; she had ever since she was a baby, around her frail body. She sighed as the sky turned to a murky grey and started to rain. The rain came down hard and the wind blowing the yellow cover off of her, she started to run after the yellow cover. She was slipping and falling on the muddy ground; she grabbed it and was holding on for dear life. She looked up at the sky and said, "I miss you so much grandma only if you were here for me". Rayne went into the run down house, disheveled by the rain. She looked around the tiny living room, looking at the brown couch with the beat up coffee table, her grandmother had given her. Rayne could never have her grandmother back, not after that night, not after what happened. Rayne's breath was shallow as she walked into the tiny bathroom; she had shared with her grandmother. She left it the way her grandmother had had it. Bright blue curtains, fishy shower curtains down to the soap her grandmother had used. She drug the wet clothes from her body, turning on the hot water, she whispered "this her feels really good." After Raine was finished she wrapped an old ragged cloth around her and walked to the musty bedroom looking at her grandma's photo. She began to cry thinking about the times she spent with her. As the tears fell so did she down to her knees and she yelled "GRANDMA I LOVE YOU, AND I MISS YOU SO MUCH". No one knows my pain she thought . Then a white shadow came from where grandma use to sleep. As the white shadow became close to her the hairs on Rayne's neck became stiff.
Everything became quite and still as the shadow spoke "Rayne it's me." Rayne began crying. "Rayne baby don't cry." Her grandmother whispered. "I'm here."
"I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry grandma I didn't mean for them to kill you. I didn't mean for them to kill you." Rayne cried.

The League's bottom team hope to leave their abysmal playing record behind by uprooting from Worthing along the south coast to the 3,600-seat Brighton Centre, with its sprung wooden floor and Olympic-standard basketball rings.
As a National League club, the Bears' history began in Brighton and their director, Romek Kriwald, says the move back there reflects the club's determination to join the League's elite. "The stakes have been raised and the Bears have to rise to the challenge," he said.
The Sharks had only to win at Chester on Sunday to become League champions, but an 84-81 defeat by the Jets has handed Manchester the chance to claim the title in Friday's crucial fixture.

David Cameron this, David Cameron that... It may be August, but the Downing Street press office is keen to show it is still in full work mode. The Prime Minister's tweet yesterday opposing a possible sporting boycott of Russia was just the latest example of his and his team's ostentatious not-at-the-beachmanship. The No 10 press office has clearly not forgotten Alastair Campbell's insistence on controlling the news "grid".
And last week they seemed to take aim after Radio 4's pips at 7am and 8am, traditionally the way to control the political agenda for the day. "Call me old-fashioned," said a producer at the BBC's Millbank nerve-centre, "but did the election campaign start and nobody told us?"
After a slow Monday, the following three days saw a barrage of perfectly timed Tory initiatives and reasons for the party faithful to be cheerful. On Tuesday at 7am, after the new Summer Nights talk show was previewed and the weather forecast mentioned "sun out there", top Tory tales began arriving after the hourly pips.
Vacant slots in the summer silly season were being shaped into a drip-feed Torytopia of good news. Tuesday's Today had July as a "bumper month" and "more evidence that Britain's economic recovery was gathering pace". July sales were up 2.2 per cent, the best in seven years.
By Wednesday, with the headlines featuring "Bongo Bongo Land", and specially trained judges for child abuse cases, good-news UK was still being carefully rolled out by Downing Street and Tory Central Office.
"Business is booming," Today proclaimed, with the reporter stating that "good news was coming thick and fast", with factory output, car sales and other factors all experiencing an "up tick".
The good news continued into Thursday with headlines proclaiming that doctors welcomed the Government's announcement of a £500m cash injection for struggling A&E departments.
One pollster with a decade's experience of measuring political clout inside the Westminster village, said: "Last week? Well, now we know what the general election will feel like."

Symphony Number One seeks dedicated grantwriters to help research, organize, write, submit, and track aproppriate grant opportunities. Note: we have completed a number of successful grants over the past two years, but we are in need of additional help to keep the momentum moving ahead, including someone to help coordinate the effort. The ideal volunteer would be interested in leading and/or participating in some combination of the following activities, and would have some relevant experience and interest:
- Research: we have a meaningful list of relevant grant opportunities. However, we recently achieved 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, opening up our eligibility to a much wider array of possible opportunities which we need to find. We need to continue to extend our knowledge base across the wide array of grants and corporate programs for which we are now eligible.
- Organization: through analysis and focus on our organizational mission, we want to properly understand our best opportunities for winning grants and structure our grantwriting time towards the lowest-hanging fruit. Organization means both maintaining our grants list data and inputting deadlines in the calendar alongside recurring annual projected deadlines.
- Writing: through familiarity with our past work and future plans, the scuccessful writer will develop a compelling narrative that marries the requirements of the grant with the mission of Symphony Number One.
- Tracking: the successful volunteer would help check on any details and keep any records required by the grantmaker to properly document completion of the grant. The volunteeer would also help to ensure that SNO properly credits and thanks all grantmakers in the appropriate methods in printed programs and online.

Research by Gartner predicts a 30% rise in connected "things" to 6.4 billion devices in 2016. These machine to machine (M2M) devices, networked into the Internet of Things (IoT), are starting to appear in urban, industrial and city environments - from security cameras and utility-monitoring sensors, to ticket barriers at stations and healthcare equipment in hospitals. All these applications require the support of 24/7 network availability that 'knows' what's happening, so how can today's network environments handle this?
Let's take security as an example. We are all aware of the heightened security concerns in major cities and the need for reliable and interruptible security feeds. Installing devices, such as IP cameras and security sensors, at key assets and infrastructure across an urban area is straightforward, but the challenge is two-fold. Firstly, guaranteeing continuous, real-time communication - these data feeds need high availability networks and cannot be subject to limited capacity.
In the event of partial network failure, intelligent routing has to be able to mitigate the impact while ensuring critical assets remain operational
Secondly, how to ensure a consistent Quality of Service by effectively prioritising the right users, devices and application data for uninterrupted high-priority communications.
To address these issues, there are now 'smart' network switches, or in other words application aware switches, that carry and deliver data across Application Fluent Networks. These switches have the added value of being able to prioritise users, devices and applications depending on the situation – normal day-to-day or emergency.
Of course, network infrastructure needs to be capable of enduring challenging conditions such as outages, heavy demand, changing temperatures and harsh weather. But in the event of partial network failure, intelligent routing and prioritisation have to be able to mitigate the impact while ensuring critical safety and security assets remain operational.
Departments responsible for the transport links in a city can leverage M2M connectivity to create smarter transportation systems - this is IoT in action.
Urban traffic management can be handled far more effectively by analysing conditions and traffic flows. But gathering data multiple times a second from thousands of roadway and transport sensors, CCTV cameras, vehicle detectors, weather stations, signs, ramp meters, traffic signals, and other devices all relies on connectivity – and connectivity relies on the network.
But collecting the data is just one connectivity issue. It is of little value unless you can connect with public displays and user devices to inform travellers of road conditions, events, and incidents and keep the transport network flowing.;

UPDATE 2-Brazil hopeful on Russian pork sales as leaders meet
* Rousseff hopes for resolution of pork export problems
* Brazil accounts for 17 percent of Russia's pork imports
* Russia to sell helicopters to Brazil
By Alexei Anishchuk
MOSCOW, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Brazil hopes to resolve a dispute over exports of pork to Russia, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said after talks with President Vladimir Putin on Friday on how the emerging-market powerhouses can boost trade.
Moscow's tightening of requirements for the importation of meat have threatened to ruffle relations between Brazil and Russia, one of its largest meat export markets and a a fellow member of the BRICS group of large emerging market nations.
"We hope for the successful resolution of the problems that emerged (over) Brazilian pork exports," Rousseff said following talks with Putin during a two-day visit to the Russian capital.
Russia is eager to make a success of its year-long presidency of the G20 major economies, which began this month, and increase trade with countries such as Brazil, the world's sixth-largest economy. Russia is No. 9.
"We cannot be satisfied" with last year's bilateral trade volume of $6.5 billion, Putin said. "We must reach the level of at least $10 billion in the near future." Continued...

One challenge facing the African diaspora in the midst of Westernization and modernization is loss of African history and culture. The strategy employed herein is to integrate history, African languages, folklore and multimedia to find new and engaging ways for people of African descent to tell their own stories and to make original contributions to the arts and sciences. Particularly of interest is documentation of African languages, history, folklore and proverbs. These include integrating African language orthography on the Web, documenting lullabies and nursery rhymes and representing story lines within cartoons that introduce science and technology within an African context, while equally portraying the beauty of black heritage. Current research centers around a Web platform to document the Yoruba and Igbo languages of West Africa, and providing Web interfaces that support reading and writing in African languages and that crowd source content for African stories, proverbs, songs, histories and culture.
Victor is currently a PhD student in computer science at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee with a particular focus on integrating black culture into computer science via multimedia on the Web. He graduated from MIT with a Master's degree in Computer Science as a GEM fellow in 2010 with a focus on Network security and Web interfaces. He traveled to Ibadan, Nigerian in the summer of 2014 to study the Yoruba language of West Africa and is interested in multi-disciplinary approaches to promote and preserve African and African American heritage.

Well, my week of guest bloggers has passed, and I offer all of them my heartfelt thanks for their enormous output, their engagement in the comboxes, and their generosity in sharing their gifts with us. I hope you really enjoyed them. I know I did. They disproved Ben Franklin's adage that "fish and company stink after three days." I kind of liked having them around!
But they've all gone home. Father Dwight Longenecker has gone back to Standing on His Head, so he can see the world from a different perspective, Kathy Schiffer is off to discover the Seasons of Grace and Elizabeth Duffy is back pondering how big the seemingly small things can be.
They're all gone, and here I am: the cheese stands alone — as overripe as the fish or the company!
Well, fear not. You can of course go visit your newly-favorited writers at their blogs, and I urge you too, because they're places out-of-the-ordinary. But the good news is this: over the course of the month, all three of them — Dwight, Elizabeth and Kathy — will begin blogging in new digs, here at Patheos.
I have this driving need to gather a bunch of great bloggers and writers under one roof. And soon I intend to put up an antenna, so we can catch what's in the air, too!
Speaking of great writers, blogging at Patheos, look back here around noontime or so for news of another blog debut. J-Lo has competition
Until then, I have one question and I hope ya'll will answer in the combox below: Did you hear anything at your mass this weekend about the HHS mandate? My schedule led me to a neighboring parish and from its pulpit came forth…not a word. Nothing in the bulletin, either. This is a very pro-life parish, but they seem to be completely unaware of the issue. What about you? Did you have a bishop's letter read, or a priest talking about the Obamacare mandate forcing churches to cover contraception and sterilization?

Inflammation and
fibrogenesis are both hallmarks of
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The stimulus for inflammation is
unknown, but its nature suggests that a microbial pathogen could be
responsible. A 1999 study1– reported increased detection of
Epstein-Barr virus DNA in lung tissue of IPF patients compared to
control subjects. We speculated that latent infection with
herpesviruses could act as a stimulus for inflammation in IPF and
therefore tested lung specimens from IPF patients for the presence of
eight herpesviruses (herpes simplex virus-1, herpes simplex virus-2,
cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, varicella-zoster virus, and
human herpesvirus [HHV]-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8) using an
organism-specific colorimetric microtiter plate polymerase chain
reaction technique.2 We studied lung tissue from 23 IPF
patients (6 familial and 17 sporadic). Tissue was obtained at
autopsy (n = 7), open-lung biopsy prior to starting any treatment
(n = 3), or at lung transplant (n = 13). Histology was reviewed and
pathologic classification was usual interstitial pneumonia (n = 18),
nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (n = 2), and others (n = 3).
Eleven normal lung tissues (n = 6, unused donor lungs, n = 5,
lobectomy for pulmonary nodule) were selected as control lungs. As
shown in Table 1,
one or more herpesviruses was detected in 22 of 23 IPF patients and in
only 1 of 11 normal control subjects (p < 0.01). Of interest was the
high rate of detection of HHV-8 (43%), which is usually found only in
patients with HIV or Kaposi's sarcoma. In addition, there was a high
rate of coinfection with two or more herpesviruses in IPF subjects: two
or more herpesviruses were detected in 14 IPF lungs (61%) and in 1
normal control lung (9%; Table 1). Since many of the IPF subjects were
critically ill with end-stage lung disease, specimens from eight
disease control patients with end-stage disease (n = 4 cystic
fibrosis, n = 3 pulmonary hypertension, and n = 1 sarcoidosis) were
also evaluated. One herpesvirus was found in three control patients,
but none of them had more than one herpesvirus (Table 1). These data
support the hypothesis that herpesvirus infections could play a
role in stimulating lung inflammation in patients with IPF.

The visibly heartbroken and exhausted parents of Nirbhaya on Tuesday said that if the juvenile is released on December 20, it will encourage the heinous crime and tell the adolescents that they can commit any crime and there is no punishment for them.
"No one is thinking as to what message the government is sending to the society by releasing the juvenile. By doing so, they are actually telling the adolescents that they can commit any crime and there is no punishment for them. They are encouraging this heinous crime," Nirbhaya's mother told ANI.
Reacting to the reports that Delhi Government would be giving money to the juvenile, she said that it was expected from the state government.
"They raise the issue of 'women's safety' only for vote bank politics. They should better admit that they will not be doing anything on women's safety if they focus on the rehabilitation of the juvenile offenders," she added.
It is reported that the Union Home Ministry is contemplating to ask the juvenile convict to sign a legal bond affirming good behaviour after his release from the reformatory home.
The bond as per Section 107 of Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) will act as security for keeping the peace after his release from a juvenile remand home.
Apprehensions were made by Nirbhaya's parents against the release of the juvenile, who was reportedly the "most brutal" of all the six offenders.
The juvenile, who was under 18 when he was arrested for rape and murder of Nirbhaya, was tried under the Juvenile Justice Act and ordered to keep in a remand home for three years. He is set to be released this month. (ANI)

This article appeared online at TheNewAmerican.com on Wednesday, April 19, 2017:
It's Bill O'Reilly's history of sexual harassment, and not his false conservativism, that will end his career as host of his The O'Reilly Factor, according to two stories in the Wall Street Journal. Joe Flint, writing for the Journal, said the "final resolution on the fate of Mr. O'Reilly … could come as early as the next several days."
That resolution could come even sooner
as the co-chairmen of Fox News — Rupert Murdoch and his two sons, Lachlan and James — meet in private on Thursday to finalize the matter. According to Flint's sources, Rupert is pushing to keep O'Reilly while his two sons have concluded it's time for Fox News and O'Reilly to part company.
The final straw apparently was the lengthy exposé published by the New York Times on April 1 that launched the avalanche that had been waiting to engulf and wash away O'Reilly. Emily Steel and Michael Schmidt summarized their report: "[Our] investigation … has found a total of five women who have received payouts from either Mr. O'Reilly or the company in exchange for [them] agreeing not to pursue litigation or speak about their accusations against him. The agreements totaled about $13 million."
This revelation came on top of the departure of the network's former chairman, Roger Ailes, who was dismissed last summer in the wake of another sexual harassment scandal involving former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson, among others. But this time the revelations were so lurid that more than 60 companies have withdrawn their advertising from O'Reilly's show since the Times' article appeared.
The first incident dates back to October 13, 2004 when Andrea Mackris, a former producer for his show, sued O'Reilly for $60 million, alleging a history of sexual harassment, followed by a countersuit by O'Reilly, claiming extortion. In her suit Mackris claimed that if she went public with her charges, O'Reilly told her that "Roger Ailes … will go after you … Ailes operates behind the scenes, strategizes, and makes things that happen so that one BAM! the person gets what's coming to them but never sees it coming." Six days later Mackris expanded her suit for further damages over O'Reilly's retaliatory suit.
On October 28 the two combatants reached an out-of-court settlement, with each agreeing to drop their suits and countersuits, and keeping the details confidential.
That settlement, according to the Times, was around $9 million.
Shortly after Ailes left, former Fox host Juliet Huddy settled a sexual harassment claim against O'Reilly for $1.6 million. In that instance Huddy claimed that O'Reilly pursued a romantic relationship with her, made lewd remarks in her presence, and made a phone call to her (which she recorded) in which O'Reilly behaved in a manner not appropriate to report here.
Last August former Fox host Andrea Tantaros filed a sexual harassment charge against Fox News, claiming that O'Reilly made sexually suggestive comments to her. When Fox News offered her $1 million to go away, she turned it down, and the case remains open. In her lawsuit Tantaros said that early in 2016 O'Reilly had asked her "to come to stay with him on Long Island where it would be 'very private,' and told her "on more than one occasion that he could 'see [her] as a wild girl.'"
As Steel and Schmidt noted, it was all of a pattern: "As an influential figure in the newsroom, Mr. O'Reilly would create a bond with some women by offering advice and promising to help them professionally. He then would pursue sexual relationships with them, causing some to fear that if they rebuffed him, their careers would stall."
Just before leaving for his traditional spring vacation, O'Reilly hired a crisis management professional, Mark Fabiani, to handle the situation that was threatening to engulf him. Fabiani's statement included a remarkable "spin" defending the man who for years called his show "the no spin zone":
Just like other prominent and controversial people, I'm vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity. In my more than 20 years at Fox News Channel, no one has ever filed a complaint about me with the Human Resources Department, even on an anonymous hotline. But most importantly, I'm a father who cares deeply for my children and who would do anything to avoid hurting them in any way. And so I have put to rest any controversies to spare my children…. The worst part of my job is being a target for those who would harm me and my employer, the Fox News Channel. Those of us in the arena are constantly at risk, as are our families and children. My primary efforts will continue to be to put forth an honest TV program and to protect those close to me.
O'Reilly also had his attorney dust off the hoary charge of political character assassination by his enemies: "[Mr. O'Reilly has] been subjected to a brutal campaign of character assassination that is unprecedented in post-McCarthyist America" and then added that he has "evidence that the smear campaign is being orchestrated by far-left organizations bent on destroying O'Reilly and Fox News for political and financial reasons."
All of which reminds of another past master at "spin," Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, who for years was asked, "Do you take performance enhancing substances?" Armstong would always answer something on the order of "I've never been caught. The tests were always negative."
Now O'Reilly has been caught. The cost to Fox News will be substantial. His show was drawing four million viewers every night, bringing in advertising revenues in excess of $150 million a year. Half of those advertisers have pulled their ads, and the decision to be made by Fox News' co-chairs on Thursday is likely to revolve around that.
As noted by New York magazine, "According to sources, Fox News wants the transition to be seamless. Executives are currently debating possible replacement hosts. Names that have been discussed include Eric Bolling, Dana Perino, and Tucker Carlson, who would move from his successful 9 p.m. slot and create a need for a new host at that time. One source said Sean Hannity is happy at 10 p.m. and would not want to move. Network executives are hoping to have the new host in place by Monday."
Some critics of O'Reilly point to his years-long masquerade as some kind of conservative. Missing from Thursday's conversation will be any mention of O'Reilly's prior history of working for the mainstream media outlets CBS (1980 to 1986), or ABC (1986-1995), or advancing his liberal education by enrolling, at age 49, at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University where he received a master's degree.
O'Reilly is supposed to return from his vacation on Monday, April 24, but sources at Fox, contacted by reporters, have been unwilling to confirm that. What O'Reilly himself has confirmed is that he is no "conservative," at least by any contemporary understanding of the word. Writing in his book, The O'Reilly Factor, that a reader "might be wondering whether I'm conservative, liberal, libertarian, or exactly what…. See, I don't want to fit any of those labels, because I believe that the truth doesn't have labels. When I see corruption, I try to expose it. When I see exploitation, I try to fight it. That's my political position."
As of Monday, all indications appear that his position will be former host of The O'Reilly Factor.
