Archive for Thursday 6th November 2003 - A marriage in the heavens
This coming weekend, extraordinary things are happening in the skies around us. One of them is an eclipse of the moon. That is not a rare thing in itself. What is remarkable is that it coincides with an event that we have never seen before and will not recur within our lifetimes.
It is known as the Harmonic Concordance. Six planets will appear equally spaced in a ring, forming a hexagram or six-pointed star. Jonathan has much to say about this from the astrologer's point of view. He has asked me to comment on its numerical significance.
The hexagram is a symbol of marriage, the mutual attraction between two opposites and their perfect union, It is made up of two triangles, one pointing upwards and the other down. This figure has a special meaning in the story of Creation. It signifies the order that governs the universe. Examples of the hexagon in nature include the structure of snowflakes and the cells of a honeycomb.
Six is called the marriage number for another reason. It unites the first even number, 2; with the first truly odd, 3, for 2 x 3 =. 6 (One is the unit behind all number and is is regarded as neither odd nor even). In sexual symbolism odd numbers are male and even numbers female.
Six is also a perfect number, meaning that it is the sum of its factors, the numbers that divide into it. Its factors are 1, 2 and 3, and these add up to 6. The second perfect number is 28. which is the sum of 1,2,4, 7 and 14. There are 28 days in the lunar and female cycle.
The simultaneous occurrence of a heavenly hexagon and a lunar eclipse brings together the perfect numbers 6 and 28. You could hardly imagine a more happy coincidence than that.
Two triangle, the light above and the dark below, touch and then embrace each other, creating a six-pointed star that represents the perfect union of opposites.
My friend Rupert Sheldrake has offered to take over this Thursday space for a few weeks while I take a rest. He is a brilliant scientist and a very rare one, because he understands the reality of spirit in the universe. He will be asking you to take part in his experiments to prove that reality. I think this is the most interesting science of our time.

John Michell is a prolific author. Below are just two of John's books which might interest you:
The Rough Guide to Unexplained Phenomena
John Michell and Bob Rickard - A fascinating collection. Look up anything from urban legends to recorded unexplained phenomena - to the existance of ghosts. All presented in an organised, easy to follow manner, in related categories. A complete index and accompanying pictures with each entry. Excellent reference - excellent read.
Who Wrote Shakespeare?
Was the most famous poet and writer of all time a fraud and a plagiarist? Was Shakespeare the "upstart crow" described by Greene as strutting in borrowed feathers, or Jonson's "Poet-Ape" who patched plays together from others' work? John Michell's witty investigation of the theories and claims reads like a series of detective stories. By the end of the book even the most faithful disciples of the Bard will find themselves asking, "Who Wrote Shakespeare?"

Seth Jackson walked into his Wichita, Kan., home with pizza in hand and his 5-year-old foster child in tow around 4 in the afternoon on July 24, according to police. He and his husband sat down with the pizza, smoked marijuana and watched a few episodes of the HBO series "Game of Thrones" when a crying baby on the screen jolted Jackson back to reality.
Their 10-month-old foster daughter was still in the Dodge Charger parked outside of the home.
Wichita police have charged Jackson, 29, with first-degree murder in the baby girl's death.
Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett alleged that Jackson consumed marijuana the morning of the child's death, according to KSN.com. He went out again later in the day to purchase more from a dealer, to take another 5-year-old child in his care to a doctor's appointment and to pick up the 10-month-old foster child from the babysitter's, according to a police affidavit.
Jackson's husband told police that the baby, who has not been named, was in the car for about two hours with the windows rolled up on a sweltering, 90-degree day.
When Jackson realized what happened, his husband ran outside to the car and pulled the baby out of the vehicle, her body hot to the touch and stiff. The men tried CPR, police said, but could not get the baby's mouth open.
By the time authorities arrived, the child was lying lifeless on her back on the couch, and Jackson was on the phone, police said.
"I left her in the car, she's dead. She's dead," police heard him say in four different phone calls.
Jackson and his husband had hoped to adopt the child, who was born with drugs in her system and nursed in a local hospital's intensive care unit, the baby's maternal grandmother, Cindy Poe, told the Wichita Eagle. Two of the baby's siblings lived in the same home.
Six children, including the 10-month-old girl, lived with Jackson and his husband. The couple had adopted two of the children and were fostering the others, according to the Eagle.
A judge ordered Jackson not to have any contact with the children, his husband, or his mother, and his bond was set at $250,000.
Forgetting a Child in the Backseat of a Car Is a Horrifying Mistake. Is It a Crime? — Gene Weingarten's Pulitzer Prize-winning Post Magazine feature from 2009.
People keep leaving children in hot cars. This teen thinks her invention can help.
Another hot car death: 'I'm sick just typing that.'

A glimpse at the future
Last year around this time I wrote an article about what I learned and did in 2015. I'm not going to do that this time around. Instead of going on and on about where I travelled, who I met, what I did in 2016 I'd rather give a glimpse of the future I was introduced to.
Education: Kids
Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Probably not. I'm not here to say you're dumb by any stretch of the imagination. I'm simply here to say that our 5th graders are far more advanced than ever before. 5th graders today know what trends and analyses are. They know what coding and software is and how it makes things work. They know how solder PCBs and circuits — I didn't learn to solder until sophomore year in college…in an engineering lab course. Our 5th graders can do long division in their head and dictionaries are merely suggestions for words they probably already know the definition to.
As you were learning phonics in elementary school, today's kids are learning about software and how robots work. The term "coding for kids" is being searched 75x more than it was when I was in elementary school.
What does this all mean? If you have kids in the future or have had kids in the last decade you most likely don't speak their language — technology.
There is a deafening downward trend around the search term "elementary curriculum". It seems to be crashing actually. Are educators giving up on standardized tests and traditional curriculums? Maybe. Or they're just relying on software, games, and code to teach our future generations.
Pretty soon, the core of our kids' education will be focused on project management and building stuff, not standardized tests. Now would be a great time to look into Kano for your young one.
Education: Online learning
If you haven't taken an online course in the last 5 years, you're probably 10 years behind on information. Think about it, even when you get your first speeding ticket they send options to take an online course and learn the necessary information to save your insurance rate and driving record. The United States has been offering online driving school for over a decade and it's about time it offers all levels of education online as well — as the standard.
The phrase you need to learn is e-learning: electronic learning. This simply means that you're consuming your education via an electronic format and platform.
What the world is doing in E-learning:
- Asia has the world's highest regional growth rate for E-Learning, of 17.3%. Revenues from the sale of E-Learning reached $5.2 billion in 2011 and are expected to more than double to $11.5 billion by 2016. The vast majority of these revenues will be generated from the sales of packaged content. Throughout the whole of Asia, Government-funded projects related to literacy development in rural areas are a major driver to the introduction of E-Learning. $11.5 Billion in revenue by 2016, projected.
- Africa is projected to do $500 Million in revenue for E-learning by 2016. With an annual growth rate of 15%. Imagine how powerful an entire continent could be if it were connected with a common interest of education.
- North America is projected to do a whopping $27.1 Billion for E-learning by 2016. This is with a 4.4% annual growth rate — dismal in comparison to Asia and Africa.
Read the full report here.
So what's stopping the full takeover of E-learning in the global markets? Well, the internet. The internet is the bottleneck when it comes to online learning. It has too much to offer for now. It's too slow in some areas and too fast in others, thus creating a slew of problems that are specific to certain regions.
With that said, I'd recommend looking at what Udemy has to offer in the E-learning space.
Mark these words: in 2025 traditional television will be obsolete. Let me say it a little differently. You will not be using a traditional cable box or coaxial cable to watch "television" in 2025. You may not even need a television…Wait what? Yes, in 2025, you most likely won't be watching TV the same way you do today. By the numbers, the future living generations are already dropping traditional television at an alarming rate. And with the dominance of Netflix, YouTube, and HBOGO these numbers will continue to drop.
52% of American households have a streaming-able device connected to their television.
By 2025, "tv" will be consumed on:
- Mobile phones (will be majority of the market)
- Laptops + tablets
- VR headsets
- Gaming systems
Also, there will be more creative studios making content than ever before. Sony Pictures, Paramount, TimeWarner, Disney, and the other bigs won't be running television — individual content creators and small studios will own more of the active market than ever. Might as well sign up for Netflix while it's still cheap…ish.
What else?
I'd love to give a deep dive on more topics, but I'll just give you the highlights of what I've heard and seen that will completely dominate over the next decade.
Consumer Tech:
- Drones, drones, and more drones.
- VR headsets: the television of the future.
- Voice controlled robotic assistants: Amazon Echo (Alexa), SiRi, Google Home
- Hotel industry will be dead due to companies like AirBnB.
- The future or rental cars will be run by companies like ZipCar, GetAround, and Turo.
- Taxis may be done an away with due to companies like Uber and Lyft. Uber has self-driving cars and Lyft has some of the nicest drivers you'll ever meet.
- We will be closer to a global economy than ever before because the US dollar will essentially die.
- Africa will have a unified currency.
- Paper money will be irrelevant.

British royal Queen Elizabeth II is snubbing her son Prince Charles' wedding to Camilla Parker Bowles on Friday (08APR05) because her position as head of the Church of England precludes her from attending a civil ceremony.
If she attended the marriage at Windsor, England's Guildhall the Queen fears she would send out a strong message to her subjects which could damage the Church - but she will be present at the subsequent blessing at Windsor Castle to be conducted by DR ROWAN WILLIAMS, the Archbishop of Canterbury.
A royal insider says, "She feels she has to put her role with the Church before her role as a mother.
"She takes her position as Supreme Governor of the Church of England incredibly seriously. She believes her position simply does not allow her to be there."
Prince Charles and Parker Bowles have no choice but to wed in a civil ceremony because they have both been divorced.04/04/2005 03:36

text: Sometimes it's worth complaining especially when the driver of your bus gets told to empty on Peckham Rye and leaves the passengers in the freezing cold and travel back to Ladywell EMPTY! Our ref: 156627/OW Date: 16.01.2013 Dear Miss blah blah blah, Thank you for contacting me regarding your experience on the 484 bus. I am sorry to hear about these events and the inconvenience that they have caused you. First of all, I am sorry that the journey was cut short before the originally stated destination. When a bus route's destination is changed whilst still on the route, the customer should be given a transfer ticket by the bus driver. This will enable customers that need to continue their journey past the premature ending point of the route to make that journey on another bus without having to pay the fare again. I have passed the details you have supplied to Abellio, who operates this route on our behalf. They will try to identify the driver, and if successful they will interview the driver and take appropriate action. For confidentiality reasons we never release details of an interview and any subsequent action taken. However, please rest assured the operator will endeavour to ensure that a repeat of this does not occur in the future. As a gesture of goodwill in view of the inconvenience you experienced, I am able to offer you a pack of six bus Saver tickets. Each ticket can be used for a single bus journey in London. The tickets are transferable and have no expiry date. Please email me back with your full postal address so that I can get these sent out to you. Thanks again for taking the time to write to us. If I can be of any further help, please let me know Yours sincerely Customer Service Advisor Transport for London Customer Services

Somalia/meeting with the President of Somalia
Paris, October 15, 2014
The President had a meeting with Mr Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, President of Somalia. They discussed the security situation in Somalia.
France is helping train the Somali forces and finance the African forces (AMISOM) which are fighting terrorism in Somalia. The President welcomed the recent successes, particularly the recapture by AMISOM of the port of Barawe. Moreover, the resources implemented by the European Union (Operation Atalanta) have made it possible to considerably reduce acts of piracy.
The President lent his support to the efforts begun by the Somali authorities to stabilize the liberated areas and establish the federal state. He reiterated France's humanitarian commitment in Somalia./.

Vatican: 'Europe must not forget her Christian roots'
Following the news that the EU leaders have settled on a constitution, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, director of the Holy See Press Office, made the following statement on Saturday: "The Holy See express its satisfaction for this new and important step in the process of European integration that has been hoped for and encouraged by the Roman Pontiff. The introduction in the document of a measure which safeguards the status of religious confessions in the Member States, and commits the Union to maintain an open, transparent and regular dialogue with them, recognizing their identity and specific contribution, is also a reason for satisfaction." "The Holy See cannot but express its distress over the opposition of some governments to the explicit recognition of the Christian roots of Europe. It is a question of disregard of the historical evidence and of the Christian identity of European peoples." "The Holy See expresses heartfelt appreciation and gratitude to those governments that, aware of the past and of the historical horizon in which the new Europe is taking shape, worked to express concretely its recognized religious heritage." "Not to be forgotten is the intense commitment of different entities to have the Christian heritage of Europe mentioned in this treaty, stimulating the reflection of political leaders, citizens, and public opinion on a question that is not secondary in the present national, European and world context." On Sunday the Pope reminded pilgrims gathered in St Peter's Square, of the duty to welcome and care for refugees. After the Marian prayer, addressing his compatriots in Polish, John Paul II expressed his disappointment that the Christian roots of Europe were not recognized in the European constitution: "We cannot forget our roots. I thank Poland who in the European forum has faithfully defended the Christian roots of our continent from which our culture and the development of the civilization of our time has come."

yes,.. over head on sets, but 8ft though? It was solid that is for sure, very surprised how well the shoreline held that long period swell. I think that swell from last week set the sand right so that we did not end up with huge close outs.
Not complaining at all, but....it was strange how when the wind got stronger going offshore the form kind of took a hit? just glad to get out under those conditions and be able to make the drops and get some good rides.
Saw a bunch of people watching.....and not that many in the water making much of any rides.
If we could only have a swell like that with warmer water. that water was cold and duck diving solid 5ft sets gets old real quick.
I even got owned today on one wave, so you know it was good....
Results 11 to 16 of 16
Thread: For what its worth.
I saw the webcams today...**** looked mad good though very cold...hope everyone had a good time. Hopefully, I can make it down over easter...if I can get off work.

HOLY CRAP! that's unbelievable!! I'm stoked for that dude!!
Yea, at times I wanted to take mine off, but everytime you had to sneak under a couple in a row you were glad to have it on. Air temp was pretty high and lack of wind made thinks pretty comfortable at least in the AM. Nice to finally have some waves for sure....

Classic Pythagorean Puzzles
Classic games and challenging puzzles are fun for games lovers. Classic Pythagorean Puzzles is the best variation of tile-based antique Greek games offered by Pythagoras as an excellent brain trainer for abstract thinking. The objective of the game is to build various figures such as flowers, animals and other images which you can find out in real life. When you start new game you see a sample you need to replicate with the fixed set of tiles on the game board. The samples you replicate are being approximations of real objects, which are easily to recognize by shapes, proportions and structure. Classic Pythagorean Puzzles is harder than it looks and you can find out that. It also includes a built-in visual puzzle builder for creating your own games. The graphics are attractive and MIDI-based music with crisp digital sound effects add to the fun.Visit publisher site: Classic Pythagorean Puzzles

Eating the freshest fish beside the water which it just came from, could life be any better?
Topolino [Riva 2, Bol, Brac Island 21420 , Croatia] in the town of Bol on the island of Brac was a perfect moment in time. We had spent a lovely day on the island and as we were walking from the beach we stopped to chat with a vendor. We asked her opinion on where to eat in town and she said everywhere is good. With a vague answer I wasn't sure what to expect. She may have been telling the truth, or we may have gotten lucky with our choice. The restaurant is a pizzeria with a wood fired oven. There are many pizza selections, pasta dishes, and of course fresh seafood options on the menu. It was the end of the day so we had a limited amount of time until the last bus left for the other side of the island. We told our waiter this information and he got us our food so quickly! When it came out he taught me the best way to get the meat off of the bone, it was a great skill to learn. My now typical fish dish with potatoes and chard was so wonderfully delicious.
If you don't want to leave eating in Bol to fate, I would suggest dining by the water at Topolino where the service, atmosphere, and food were all top notch!

Birds do it ... bees do it ... even our parents or loved ones in the throes of Alzheimer's do it.
OK, a songwriter I am not. So I'll tell you a couple of true stories.
I remember the day my sister called my widowed father and the first thing he said was, "I have a girlfriend." My sister replied, "What's her name?" Silence. He put down the phone and walked away. Several minutes later he returned with a card in his hand and replied, "Her name is Cheryl!" Seems my Dad could not recall his new girlfriend's name, so he wrote it down on a piece of paper in his wallet, which he left in his bedroom. He remembered that, but not much more.
Now, imagine yourself in a loving marriage for over 50 years. The unconditional pact you made with each other was if one needed help, the other would always be there. Then, for two decades you watch your beloved slip further into Alzheimer's. The time inescapably comes when you realize your loved one would have a better quality of life in a well-chosen care facility.
Then, within 48 hours after moving into the care facility, your beloved is in love once again. But not with you!
Should you be shocked your loved one, who no longer recognizes you and has forgotten the tender loving care you have given over the years, is now enamored with a fellow Alzheimer's patient? According to Richard Powers, M.D., of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, romantic attachments among the more than 5 million Alzheimer's patients "is common enough that we need to be able to deal with patients' need for intimacy in a thoughtful and compassionate way."
Should you be angry? Dr. Powers cautions, "You have to remember that it's not that your spouse is rejecting you, or that they don't care about you anymore, but they lack the ability to recognize these memories or their feelings. It's the disease; it's not personal."
Should you feel guilty for not providing enough care or intimacy? "Forgive yourself," says the Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's blog. "Guilt is often the result of refusing to accept that some things are beyond our control and accepting there are often no perfect solutions."
Whatever your personal reaction is to this caregiver's conundrum, Gray Matters will raise and discuss issues that many of us are uncomfortable thinking about — issues from which none of us will be exempt as the 65-plus population nearly doubles by 2050.
Case in point: the caregiver's beloved spouse who fell in love with another Alzheimer's patient — Sandra Day O'Connor, retired Supreme Court justice. Her reaction? According to her son in a USA Today article, she was "thrilled [he] was relaxed and happy … he was a teenager in love … a relief after a painful period."
This moral dilemma illustrates one of the many unprecedented, perplexing, emotionally charged issues faced by those of us caring for elderly loved ones. Issues without any clear cut "should" or "should not."
Until next time … keep thinking the good thoughts.

claiming extenuating circumstances without evidence.(29 Posts)
I need some advice about claiming extenuating circumstances after an exam without evidence of what happened, and perhaps information about alternative courses of action.
I will start by explaining the background to the situation and then explain what happened.
My son finished university this year (or at least he was supposed to).
His father is the sort of person who i can only describe as a grafter.
He has always done low paid unskilled jobs and is very anti-education, believes that it gets people "like us" nowhere and is only for "other people".
Even when my son left school we had frequent arguments with him because he wanted him to go straight out into work. He was constantly complaining about having to feed and keep a roof over his head while he "faffed about in college".
This got worse during university and during this time he was constantly whinging about the debt he was making (even though it is my sons debt and only a student debt and nothing to do with his dad), constantly whinging about the cost of renting (even though I helped by son with this with my own money which was most of my life savings, he didn't pay a penny or give any help whatsoever)
Hopefully that explains the background of the situation so i will now talk about that happened.
One of my sons exams was in the afternoon so he stayed at home overnight and planned to drive in to the exam.
I received a call from my son and he told me that his dad had taken the car keys and would not give him the keys. I rushed home immediately to find out what was going on and try to sort the problem out.
It turns out that as my son was about to leave for the exam his dad asked him to mow the lawn and take the lawn mower to a neighbors house when he was done. My son had tried to tell him that he was going to an exam and he simply went into a rage, put the car keys in his pocket and started shouting nonsense along the lines of "your mum may be fooled by this university crap but im not having any of it, as long as your living here you will help me out". I spent over an hour arguing with him until i finally managed to get the car keys from him, all this time he would not listen to a word I was saying.
We only have 2 cars (my sons and his dads) and where we live there is almost no public transport so without his car he has no means to get to the exam.
On my sons course the final grade is calculated by adding the points from the exams taken for the 4 modules they take in their final year, exam results for previous years dont contribute to the final grade). The exam he missed was the only exam for that particular module so he effectively has no points at all for that module. He is re-sitting the exam however without being able to prove extenuating circumstances his grade for that exam will be capped at a very low maximum. So this will seriously effect his final grade.
My son worked very hard for 3 years to get the best grade he could, he has taken on a large debt, i have spent most of my life savings to help pay for his accommodation and because of one instance of his fathers stupidity this could all be for a much lower grade. What upsets me the most is not that this happened but the fact that his dad seams to have no comprehension of what he has done, I have tried to explain it to him and he wont listen to anything I say.
I cant think of any way in which we can prove that this happened so I expect that he will not be able to claim extenuating circumstances.
Can anyone give advice about claiming extenuating circumstances?
Is there anything else that can be done?
Did he phone the university as soon as he realised he wouldn't be able to go?
Are you going to stay with your husband after that?
Your son's father is a prize shit, but you know that already, and so does your son.
I'd advise your son to speak to the department directly, or at least the module leader. He must be crushed, poor love!
When did this happen? What contact had your son had to explain what went on during the exam?
Unis usually have very specific grounds for extenuating circumstances and you have to inform them very quickly.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Usually serious adverse circumstances forms have to be submitted by a certain date, usually before term breaks up and preferably as close to the event as possible. What happens is it will be assessed by a panel and graded on a scale of 1-3. Say, someone's parent dies the day before an exam, that would be a 3. If someone's dog died seven months ago and the student says they're still affected by it, that would be a 1. There is a very big difference in circumstances there, if you know what I mean?
The more information you can put in a SAC form the better, particularly if there's a background history. However, I wouldn't be hopeful of it being accepted if the exams were months ago, especially if he's already received his results. Talk to your department.
Hi OP, a university department's exam board chair here. If it were my university, we would have expected your son to let us know as soon as he realised he was going to miss the exam or, at the very latest, later that day. If he could produce some kind of evidence of this bullying and coercive behaviour by his father (text messages, for example) then we would have allowed your son to 'resit' the exam as if for the first time (so, the mark wouldn't be capped). But if your son missed his exam, didn't tell anyone, missed the appeal deadline after results were published, and then, weeks after the appeal deadline, claimed mitigating circumstances with no evidence, I'm afraid he wouldn't get an uncapped resit. His university may be different from mine, though, so the best thing to do is for him to speak to his department's exam board chair.
LTB and tell son to NC.
mans stupidity has most likely ruined all of your sons hard work and will affect him for the rest of his life (both with father issues, and lesser grades affecting his work and earnings), and mean his debt is now for nothing.
I cannot believe what I am reading!
Best of luck and for you all. Sounds beyond awful
Steady on BCM, the OP's son will still get a degree, and it's very possible that he might graduate with the same degree classification as he would have done before, even if the mark for this module is capped (depends how many credits the module is worth and how the degree is weighted). No module on our undergrad degrees is worth more than 15% of the whole degree, for example, so even dropping from, say, 65 to 40 on one final year module would only bring the overall degree result down by a very few marks. Even if the OP's son's degree is structured differently, it's not going to cost him his degree. So no wasted debt, no ruined life.
Her son's dad does sound like a massive arsehole, though, I agree with you about that.
the OP's son will still get a degree, and it's very possible that he might graduate with the same degree classification as he would have done before, even if the mark for this module is capped.
Yes, that's entirely possible. I got a first with 37% in one module (damn you exam being entirely on the last two lectures that I failed to revise).
I have said 2 LTB's so far, this my second, and the first without a second of hesitation.
This is by far the worst thing I have ever read or heard.
A father is supposed to love and care for a child.
It could well cost him his degree, or his educational progression onto a Masters or PhD. Employers may ask for his HEAR report, and a final missed exam may cause issues for more competitive graduate schemes or awkward explanation at interviews
One of my housemates got a pass conceded because he messed up one final exam, it meant we went from 2:1 to pass conceded and only because his lecturers took into consideration some serious extenuating circumstances. He has a good job now, so it can be done, but he does see his debt as a bit of a waste as he know he could have done better.
But seriously this was not normal extenuating circumstances (usually unexpected death/ ongoing physical/ mental illness etc.); this was the culmination of a narcissistic fathers abuse, and had been escalating towards this point.
I would NC without hesitation, if this was my parent.
Anyway, I have said my piece
Slightly different, but my DD had something pretty awful and distressing happen to her the night before her first A-level. I was so wrapped up at the time with supporting her through this that I didn't think to ring college, and like you I had no evidence. Anyway, I decided to ring several weeks after the end of exams and they were great. Said no evidence needed, they just dropped an email to the exam boards, took my word for it. However, this was before the results were out. I think it may have made the difference to her getting into uni - she scraped one of her grades by one mark.
Good luck, hope things work out for you both.
Your son's Dad sounds like an emotionally abusive twat.
He needs to e-mail and explain what happened.
He also needs to explain in that e-mail how he going to take steps to make sure it doesn't happen again (like, hiding a second pair of car keys somewhere).
I would get your son to talk to a GP - so that the GP can have a chat with him about healthy relationships and provide a letter of support to say that the GP is aware this has occurred and can confirm they have provided guidance to son.
Also, when was this exam ? Because if it was before the summer it may not work now to bring it all up, it's way too late probably.
Also, university counselling services are quite good at chatting to departments about problems that have occurred at home.
BTW - He's lucky he can resit his exams as final year resits are not allowed.
Why has this come up now and why are you asking MN when you or your son would surely have asked the Uni by now.
I'm also confused about his resit? Surely all resits have been taken....?
I'm confused. It sounds odd.
I'm afraid this all sounds too much like a story concocted after the event.
I remember a college telling me that her stepfather took the light. bulbs out of her room to try and stop her studying! Sounds more than plausible to me!
He should have contacted the university/Exams Office/his Department as soon as he could. He should have tried to get to the exam, even if late. He should have contacted his Personal Tutor, or Director of Studies or the Departmental Welfare Officer, as well as the Students Union ASAP as well, to explain.
And your DS needs to do these things, not you.
you need to LTB
If I were this boy's Personal tutor I would be hugely sympathetic but not very optimistic at such a distance from the exam.
Our resits were in late August, so I don't understand the timing either. It's a mess, but your son needs to do what he can about sorting it out. What you should be concentrating on OP is the shower of a father your DS has ...
Oh sorry, should have added: as a Personal Tutor & Welfare Tutor, I have dealt with cases of students having to deal with appalling treatment from parents
some people should not be allowed to have children But I've heard first from the student, and also from the student at the time of the crisis . One case was supported (later) by a letter from the student's parent, confirming the student's story of family breakdown and non-mol orders etc.
But I heard it from the student, and at the time of difficulty.
There are more holes in this story than in the jumpers I just got out of my cupboard (and the moths had been having a field day).
Only two cars, yet the OP was able to rush home in spite of there being almost no public transport. And the ds does have a car - not terribly deprived, then. And, most of all, if you can't make an important exam - you ring up - asap. These exams would presumably have been in May or June. It seems extremely odd to wait until September and then think about how you can claim extenuating circumstances.
Agree that the story sounds very fishy.
It also sounds strange that 25% of the final degree classification would rest on one single exam. It is very rare for one exam to be worth so much and unusual (outside Oxbridge) for a module to be 100% exam.
Some modules in my department are 100% exam. It's wildly unlikely that the entire degree result is determined by 4 final year exams, though - I can't believe that any university in the UK has a degree programme assessed in that way.
If that is what happened I'm very sorry for your son. Unfortunately if this story is put to the university, so far after the event, when this is the first they've heard of it, without any evidence, I'm not sure they'll buy it.
Im afraid with that at stake, I would have told my dad to fuck off and called a taxi. I would not have missed an exam over it.
As he is a uni student he presumably has money in the bank, he can also drive, so he either has a car or use of one at that age so you're not a poor family.
I would not have rang my mum and stood and argued with my dad for an hour, I'd have called a taxi and it is beggars belief that he didnt do that. This story makes no sense. Why bother going home the night before the exam anyway, giving him further to travel.
I'm sorry but I doubt the uni wil have sympathy as I imagine their are plenty of students who dont have access to a car and have to use public transport to get to exams, etc.
Yeah re read and your son has his own car. If he can afford to run a car he can pay for a taxi and I cant believe he didnt.
What really happened op?
Can anyone give advice about claiming extenuating circumstances?
Yes that sadly you have left it far too late.
I sat an exam with three broken ribs once and did appallingly but I waited until after the results came out to see if I had done as badly as I had thought.
Anyway even with medical evidence I still had to re-sit that entire module the following year.
Also I am not being funny but the story you have given here sounds a bit ridiculous (sorry). Are you honestly telling me that a 21 year old man couldn't just call a taxi and get to his exam without his mum having to talk to his Dad?

Blue-Eyed Soul Vocalist Announces Concept EP/New Singles
R&B vocalist Austyn brings in 2011 with 2 new singles and the announcement of his first EP "Easy Way Out".
"Easy Way Out" is a concept album that tells the story of a teenager in crisis that eventually leads to a fatal accident and a life in prison. The first single from the record, "Off The Road", is a hard driving dance track with a hook you won't soon forget.
"I wanted to do something a little different this time around because there is much more to life and music than just writing about love or material posessions. I wanted to write a cautionary tale of how becoming an addict doesn't just harm yourself; it can and will harm and possibly kill those in your life who mean the most to you. This isn't a preachy record; I'm not trying to change anyone who may be dealing with these issues themselves. I just want to tell a story thats based on events that have happened millions of times through the years and hopefully something will resonate with those dealing with these kinds of issues and it can serve as a wake up call. If nothing else, I hope "Easy Way Out" is a record and story that people will listen to in the same way they would read a book or watch a movie; its all really just for entertainment and anything that can connect with people on a deeper level is a bonus. A lot happens over the course of these 5 songs and a lot of it is universally relatable to all human beings. This is also the most diverse music I've done and some of the most diverse vocals too; there's even a little bit of rapping in the final track "M.F.S.B." so its going to be an eclectic record."
The other new song, "These Games", is a throwback to the 1960s Motown sound with a modern flavor. It is sure to be a hit with fans of that vintage soul sound as well as those who enjoy modern day POP music.
Both new songs can be streamed for free on www.Facebook.com/
Combine smokey soulful vocals with smooth funk infused beats and you'll get the music of blue-eyed soul vocalist Austyn. Austyn's unique style combines elements of R&B past and present. "I like to take the style points that made the old Motown and Philly Soul music what it was and mix it with all of the different sounds available in the 21st century. My goal is to make music that reminds people of the golden age of R&B while still remaining current and commercial."
Austyn has worked with several of the top vocal coaches in the industry to hone his talents. The result of his work with world class vocal trainers such as Mark Baxter, Jaime Vendera, and Ankh Ra is a multi octave voice with dynamics ranging from a whisper to a scream. Austyn's unique tone and eclectic style gives him a distinctive sound that is all his own.

Michael Douglas, who announced he's likely beat cancer on 'Today' last week, looked well on his way to recovery at the Golden Globes Sunday night with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones. When Ryan Seacrest asked him how he's feeling, he was very positive.
"Great," he said. "Tumor's gone. This type of cancer doesn't usually come back. I have to check in every month but I'm so happy to be out... Being able to come to this thing cancer-free is pretty special."
Douglas is set to present the award for Best Picture towards the end of Sunday night's show.
"This is one of the nights you really smell the roses," he said.
