Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Geothermal Country Notes
Preliminary studies conducted in different parts of Tanzania by surface geological exploration, magnetic and gravity data analyses and reconnaissance exploration have indicated that the country possesses high-temperature (exceeding 200°C) fluids beneath the volcanoes.
The presence of hot springs has provided a positive indication of the country's geothermal potential. Fifty hot springs have been sampled, with the majority having a surface temperature of 86°C and a reservoir temperature of 220-276°C.
Presently the country's geothermal resource is not utilised. However, and especially in the light of an increasing energy requirement, the National Energy Policy 2003 highlights the need to assess the potential and establish its viability.

Sure enough, guests were greeted at the entrance by a cart serving scoops of salted caramel gelato and strawberry sorbet, while the site's editor-in-chief, Jeremy Langmead, showcased an exclusive capsule collection by Agi + Sam, Christopher Raeburn, and J.W. Anderson. "We fired a few weather bombs, which they do in China and it does actually stop the rain coming," Langmead said, as the rain held off despite a suspiciously overcast sky. Three pieces had been commissioned from the fall-winter collection of each designer, including a panel print shirt from Agi + Sam, a bomber jacket from Christopher Raeburn and a navy sweater from J.W. Anderson emblazoned with a pair of scissors. All pieces are currently on sale, with prices ranging from $155 to $900.

Gospel-minded playwright David E. Talbert produces, writes, and directs this urban crime comedy concerning a pair of criminals who take a group of church parishioners hostage while attempting to rob the holy house, only to find their captives slowly convincing them to repent and give up their lawless lifestyles. Durell (Ice Cube) and LeeJohn (Tracy Morgan) are two best friends with a special knack for petty crime. Upset at discovering that his ex-girlfriend is planning to move out of state with the couple's young son, Durell knows that the only way to keep his fractured family in close proximity to one another is to raise the 17,000 dollars needed to pay off her growing debt. In order to get the money before his ex decides to make the big move, the desperate Durell enlists the aid of his scheming best buddy to rob their neighborhood church. But someone has beaten Durell and LeeJohn to the punch, and if they ever hope to get their hands on that quick cash, this bumbling pair will first have to spend an entire night in the presence of not just the almighty lord, but some of his most fervent followers as well. Katt Williams, Keith David, Regina Hall, and Chi Mcbride co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

While researching a novel, Jessica (Angela Lansbury) pays a return visit to New Orleans. Before long, she is enmeshed in a murder investigation, this one stemming from the death of a local businessman. A tiny doll was left behind at the murder scene, indicating the presence of a strong voodoo influence--but what does the Supernatural have to do with the local turf war between rival supper-club owners which would have otherwise been the main motive for the killing? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on the novel by Gloria Naylor, The Women of Brewster Place was produced by and stars Oprah Winfrey. The film concerns a variety of women who live in the housing project located on Brewster Place, and tells about their lives as they struggle in the face of racism, poverty, and troublesome men. Winfrey portrays Mattie Michael who was kicked out of her parent's (Paul Winfield and Mary Alice) house after refusing to reveal the name of her soon-to-be-born child's father. She eventually inherits a house, but loses it after her son skips bail. Robin Givens plays Kiswana, a focused woman who does her best to improve the situations of those around her. During a conversation with her mother (Cicely Tyson), Kiswana learns how her decision to change her name from Melanie is a betrayal of her family history. Cora Lee (Phyllis Stickney) craves being needed by babies and continues to have children, although she becomes neglectful as her children age. Miss Sophie (Olivia Cole) traffics in neighborhood gossip. Theresa and Lorraine (Paula Kelly and Lonette McKee) are a lesbian couple who live on Brewster Place because they believe the people in the neighborhood might let them live in peace. The Women of Brewster Place aired March 18-19, 1989, on the ABC television network. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

The Fig Tree was the opening installment of the 1987-88 season of PBS' Wonderworks series. Set in 1903 Texas, the story concerns Miranda (Karron Graves), an 8-year-old whose mother died when she was very young. Like the most of the rest of her family, Miranda has never come to terms with her mother's death. Only great-aunt Eliza (Doris Roberts), an erstwhile naturalist, seems willing or able to help Miranda on the road to emotional maturity. Based on a short story by Katherine Anne Porter, The Fig Tree premiered October 10, 1987. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

He ends up in a particularly dismal Chicago ghetto neighborhood where, after enduring a beating administered by gang members, he is befriended by streetwise black youth Jeremy "Scam" Henderson (Darius McCrary). The two become partners in crime, leading to a deadly situation involving a pair of professional hit men. Just when it seems things can't get any worse, they do. Robert Prosky co-stars as a slimy pawnbroker. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

North and South
The expensively mounted miniseries North and South was originally telecast in six two-hour installments between November 3 and 10, 1985. Four screenwriters--Douglas Heyes, Paul F. Edwards, Kathleen A. Shelley, Patricia Green--were called upon to fashion a workable script from John Jakes' sprawling best-seller. The story covers the two decades prior to the Civil War, beginning in 1842. Real-life historical events are filtered through the eyes of two rival clans: the Mains, a South Carolina plantation-owning family, and the Hazards, a family of Pennsylvania industrialists. While top billing goes to Kirstie Alley as "Northern Belle" Virgilia Hazard, most of the footage is devoted to the fluctuating friendship between Orry Main (Patrick Swayze) and George Hazard (James Read). The huge guest-star cast includes Gene Kelly (in his TV miniseries debut), Elizabeth Taylor, Leslie-Anne Down, David Carradine, Robert Mitchum, Jean Simmons, Hal Holbrook (as Abe Lincoln) and Johnny Cash (as abolitionist John Brown). The recipient of seven Emmy nominations, the 561-minute North and South was filmed back to back with its equally lengthy sequel, North and South, Book II. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Murder, She Wrote: Murder to a Jazz Beat
The setting is New Orleans, where a prominent jazz musician is killed onstage in full view of a nightclub audience. It turns out that the victim was done in by a rare South American poison. So what does all this have to do with Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury? Well, it seems that a similar murder with the same weapon occurred in one of Jessica's mystery novels--a most embarrassing turn of events, especially since Jessica was in the audience at the time of the real murder! B-picture icons Robert Clarke and Jackie Joseph show up in supporting roles in this episode, which also boasts an unusually strong (for 1985!) cast of prominent African American actors. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Something About Amelia
First offered as an ABC Theatre presentation on January 9, 1984, Something About Amelia stars Ted Danson in an "against type" role to end them all. Danson is the well-to-do, loving husband of Glenn Close, and the doting father of teenager Roxanne Zal. Zal's mother can't understand why the girl has been depressed and withdrawn of late. It takes a session with her school guidance counselor to get Zalto admit the source of her depression: Her father has had sexual relations with her. Zal's mother goes through the expected anger and denial upon hearing this news....but the girl is, alas, telling the truth. Wisely, scriptwriter William Hanley does not present Ted Danson's character as a monster, despite the monstrosity of his behavior. The point of the drama is that incest is not exclusively the dominion of lower-class, poorly educated, abusive parents--and that it is tragically possible for even the most "mature" of grownups to confuse love with sex. Dismissed by an otherwise perceptive TV movie critic as merely "typical," Something About Amelia chalked up one of the highest-ever ratings for a TV movie, and won a well-deserved Emmy for young Roxanne Zal. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this poignant adaptation of James Baldwin's novel about a few generations in the life of an Afro-American family, a young boy's efforts to gain some approval from his Bible-thumping, disciplinarian father takes center stage, and the family's background is told in a series of flashbacks. The story begins in 1935 with young Southerner Gabriel Grimes (Paul Winfield) as he runs away from home and takes on the identity of a Baptist lay preacher. Childless by his timid first wife, Gabriel has an illegitimate son by Esther (Alfre Woodard), an irresistible temptress. Unfortunately, the son comes to no good, forcing an embittered Gabriel to move to Harlem and start over with another wife, and eventually, two more sons. But the man has by this time gone over the edge and is filled with a rage against the vicissitudes of his life (he cannot get ahead in the church and is forced to work as a day laborer just to keep food on the table). He takes out his anger on his family and is so single-mindedly fanatical about religion that he forces his sons to join regular home Bible study to the exclusion of all other activities -- especially those promoted by the white-dominated society outside of Harlem. When his timid but intelligent son John (James Bond III) wins a writing honor, Gabriel makes him give it back -- and in general, his fanaticism and anger turn life into intermittent misery for the talented and sensitive son who loves writing. John's desire to please his father is all the more touching when the impossibility of pleasing him is so obvious. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Richard Pryor gives a compelling performance in Some Kind of Hero, playing a Vietnam veteran who tries to readjust to civilian life. Pryor plays Eddie Keller, who has just spent five years in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp. Most of the time there, Eddie was able to hold his own against his captors, but he eventually was forced to sign a statement denouncing United States involvement in the Vietnam War. Eddie decided to sign the document in order to insure that his friend Vinnie (Ray Sharkey) would be given proper medical treatment. Because of this denunciation, when Eddie returns home from the war he is denied his back pay. He also discovers that his wife has left him for another man, his business has fallen apart, and his mother has been sent to an asylum. Eddie falls into a deep depression and hits rock bottom. But he meets a friendly prostitute, Toni (Margot Kidder), who helps him straighten out his life. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Fly Away Home
The made-for-TV Fly Away Home was intended as the pilot for a weekly series. Bruce Boxleitner stars as Carl Danton, a combat photographer assigned to Vietnam. This time around, Danton is compelled to cover the Tet Offensive--and to battle with bureaucratic red tape in order to maintain his journalistic integrity. A subplot concerns internal corruption involving an otherwise respectable Vietnamese family. Featured in the cast as Denton's Vietnamese lady friend Mai is Tiana Alexandra, the wife of the film's producer/screenwriter Stirling Silliphant. Fly Away Home first aired September 18, 1981. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Mistress of Paradise
In her first TV-movie appearance, Genevieve Bujold plays Elizabeth, an attractive heiress from the North who becomes the second wife of aristocratic Creole plantation owner Charlie Beaufort (Chad Everett) in the mid-19th century. As the new "Mistress of Paradise," Elizabeth immediately finds herself fending off the amorous advances of neighboring plantation master Buckley (Anthony Andrews). Worse still, the heroine begins to suspect that the official story of the death of the first Mrs. Beaufort may not be entirely true. Brazenly borrowing story elements from both Gone With the Wind and Jane Eyre, the Mississippi-filmed Mistress of Paradise debuted October 4, 1981, on ABC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on the best-selling memoirs of Lillian Rogers Parks, the NBC miniseries Backstairs at the White House traces over five decades of American political history as witnessed from the vantage point of the servants' quarters. Played by Tania Johnson as a teenager and by Leslie Uggams as an adult, Lillian Rogers Parks served for 52 years as a maidservant at the White House. Though crippled early on with polio, Lillian diligently and loyally stuck to her duties -- and her own rock-solid set of principles and ideals -- through eight highly different Presidential administrations, often (and occasionally reluctantly) acting as friend and confidante to the First Lady of the moment. The large and stellar cast included a number of top-rank film and TV actors, obviously having the time of their lives impersonating such presidents as William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower, and their respective wives. Also in the cast were several African-American veterans from the landmark TV miniseries Roots. Earning 11 Emmy Award nominations, the nine-hour Backstairs at the White House was seen in five installments from January 29 to February 19, 1979. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hal Ashby's 1978 melodrama examines the impact of the Vietnam War on the "war at home" among the men who fought it and the women in their lives. Left alone in Los Angeles when her gung-ho Marine husband Bob (Bruce Dern) heads to Vietnam in 1968, proper wife Sally Hyde (Jane Fonda) decides to volunteer at the V.A. hospital where her new friend Vi (Penelope Milford) works. There she meets Luke Martin (Jon Voight), a former high-school classmate and Marine who has returned from 'Nam a bitter paraplegic. As their relationship grows, Sally sees the effect of the war on the soldiers after they come back, inspiring her to rethink her priorities; Luke's spirits begin to lift, and a hospital tragedy helps focus his anger toward meaningful protest. After a Hong Kong visit with her increasingly withdrawn husband, Sally finds a love and companionship with Luke that she had never known with her husband. Once Bob comes home with his own injury, however, the three must find a way to deal with a changing world and with a system that betrayed the men fighting for it. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Nestled in the heart of the Appalachians and surrounded by the culture of west Tennessee mountain life, it is no wonder than Sevierville is called "Your Hometown in the Smokies." Home to beautiful green hiking trails in the summer, autumnal foliage in fall, and snow-capped mountains in the winter, Sevierville apartments for rent are a popular commodity for Tennesseans year round. According to information from the U.S. Census Bureau, Sevierville has seen an increase in population in recent years, which is at more than 15,000 residents today. With so much to offer, it makes sense that many residents are calling Sevierville home.
Although the Great Smoky Mountains had been inhabited by Cherokee Native American hunters searching for mastodons for more than 12,000 years, European settlers did not discover these fertile farming and hunting grounds until the 16th and 17th centuries. One such frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero, John Sevier, was one of the first, gave the city its namesake and later became Tennessee's first governor when the state joined the union in 1796. Sevierville remained the home of Appalachian mountain culture throughout the 1800s. Known for its plentiful agriculture, coal mining and bluegrass music, Sevierville still carries on these traditions today with a thriving tourist industry.
They sky is the limit when it comes to attractions in Sevierville; however, the biggest reason so many tourists and residents alike are drawn to the area is its close location to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. More visitors come to this national park than any other in the country, and for good reason. Because it is part of the Appalachian Trail, home to an interesting history and culture and packed with information about nature and science, there is plenty of outdoor recreation for eco lovers and adventurers alike.

MOVIN' ON UP: In this cross-section, we can see capillary action tugging dye upwards through the plant's cells.
Image: George Retseck
Key concepts
Plant biology
Capillary action
Have you ever heard someone say, "That plant is thirsty," or "Give that plant a drink of water."? We know that all plants need water to survive, even bouquets of cut flowers and plants living in deserts. But have you ever thought about how water moves within the plant? In this activity, you'll put carnations in dyed water to figure out where the water goes. Where do you think the dyed water will travel, and what will this tell you about how the water moves in the cut flowers?
Plants use water to keep their roots, stems, leaves and flowers healthy as well as prevent them from drying and wilting. The water is also used to carry dissolved nutrients throughout the plant.
Most of the time, plants get their water from the ground. This means it has to transport the water from its roots up and throughout the rest of the plant. How does it do this? Water moves through the plant by means of capillary action. Capillary action occurs when the forces binding a liquid together (cohesion and surface tension) and the forces attracting that bound liquid to another surface (adhesion) are greater than the force of gravity. Through these binding and surface forces, the plant's stem basically sucks up water—almost like drinking through a straw!
A simple way of observing capillary action is to take a teaspoon of water and gently pour it in a pool on a countertop. You'll notice that the water stays together in the pool, rather than flattening out across the countertop. (This happens because of cohesion and surface tension.) Now gently dip the corner of a paper towel in the pool of water. The water adheres to the paper and "climbs" up the paper towel. This is called capillary action.
• Water
• Measuring cup
• Glass cup or vase
• Blue or red food color
• Several white carnations (at least three). Tip: Fresher flowers work better than older ones
• Knife
• Camera (optional)
• Measure a half cup of water and pour it into the glass or vase.
• Add 20 drops of food color to the water in the glass.
• With the help of an adult, use a knife to cut the bottom stem tips of several (at least three) white carnations at a 45-degree angle. Tip: Be sure not to use scissors, they will crush the stems, reducing their ability to absorb water. Also, shorter stems work better than longer ones.
• Place the carnations in the dyed water. As you do this, use the stems of the carnations to stir the water until the dye has fully dissolved.
• Observe the flowers immediately after you put them in the water. If you have a camera, take a picture of the flowers.
• Observe the flowers two, four, 24, 48 and 72 hours after you put them in the dyed water. Be sure to also observe their stems, especially the bumps where the leaves branch from the stem and it is lighter green (it may be easier to see the dye here). If you have a camera, take pictures of the flowers and stems at these time points.
• How did the flowers look after two hours? What about after four, 24, 48 and 72 hours? How did their appearance change over this time period?
• What does the flowers' change in appearance tell you about how water moves through them?
• Extra: In this activity, you used carnations, but do you think you'd see the same results with other flowers and plants? Try this activity with another white flower— a daisy, for instance—or a plant that is mostly stem, such as a stalk of celery.
• Extra: Try doing this activity again but use higher or lower concentrations of food color, such as one half, twice, four times or 10 times as much; be sure to mix each dye amount with the same amount of water. What happens if you increase or decrease the concentration of food color in the water?
• Extra: How would you make a multicolor carnation? Tip: You could try (1) leaving the flower for a day in one color of water and then putting it in another color of water for a second day or (2) splitting the end of the stem in two and immersing each half in a different color of water.

I N S I D ECity Grants Available
"We're one of the most wired cities in the world, but there's still much we can do to bring the benefits of this technology revolution to all segments of our city." -Mayor Greg Nickels Free seminars and workshops are planned for Information Technology Day 2003. It concludes the annual Black Family Technology Awareness Week, February 9 through 16. Location: Seminars and workshops:
Greg Nickels, Mayor Department of Information Technology SYLVIA SHIROYAMA acting chief technology officer RONA ZEVIN director, internet and cable tv DAVID KEYES community technology program manager staff D.H. CASS MAGNUSKI editor |
Seattle's Department of Information Technology is now seeking applications for the 2003 Technology Matching Fund (TMF). Through the Department of Information Technology, the TMF provides Seattle neighborhood groups and organizations with money for citizen-driven projects which increase technology literacy and access, especially for underserved communities. This year the City will award 5 -10 grants of up to $10,000 each from a total fund of $50,000. Seattle neighborhood groups and organizations that provide citizen-driven projects to increase technology literacy and access for underserved communities are encouraged to apply.
The application deadline is 5:00 p.m., March 10, 2003. Applications and guidelines are available online at the TMF site, Neighborhood Service Centers, or by calling the Department of Information Technology, Community Technology at (206) 684-0600.
Local groups are encouraged to think creatively about how they can better use technology to meet the needs of their communities. "Many organizations are already providing clients with technology access and training," according to Community Technology Manager David Keyes. "This year, our goal is to help improve existing technology programs and services so that organizations can strengthen their ability to address key community needs."
Applicants are encouraged to contact city staff with their ideas at firstname.lastname@example.com. If a group has a project idea, but lacks the computer equipment, it should partner with an existing technology provider. For a list, visit the Seattle TechMap.
For more information and other resources, visit the City's Community Tech website seattle.gov/tech, or email email@example.com, or call the Community Technology program at (206) 684-0600. Community Technology Program staff are also available for consultation on IT projects applying to the Neighborhood Matching Fund.
Seattle Jobs Initiative is currently placing a number of TechTalent graduates as interns. These internships are part of their training. Graduates have completed an intensive, full time training regimen with rigorous program expectations such as attendance, punctuality, and professionalism.
Suggested duties are web help desk, research, testing, technical producing and web design. Interns will have knowledge of HTML, DHTML, javascript, Photoshop, Visual Basic, SQL/ACCESS, ASP/UI Design and web design. The pay can be negotiated as a wage, stipend or education grant. Suggested pay is $7 - $8/hr., however it is possible that the interns can be assigned without pay.
Susan Goodwin, (206) 621-0498, firstname.lastname@example.com, has several TechTalent interns available now for placement at technology-related sites. These interns will be placed for 12 weeks, full time. There is no limit to the number of interns placed at a site.
Now community tech centers, libraries, legal aid and the web are helping families to easily get the tax refunds they need. Icanefile.org is available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese and provides a new and simple way for low-income workers to clair their Earned Income Tax Credits and file their federal taxes electronically online. The Legal Aid Society of Orange County (California) created this web-based system specifically for low-income taxpayers. The program is certified by the IRS and uses text and video with simple screens to guide users through the process of completing their tax forms. When all of the questions are answered, the completed tax forms can be printed and mailed to the IRS or electronically filed, if the user has an email address.
South Park Community Center, Seattle Public Library, Northwest Justice Project and King County Libraries have signed up to help residents use Icanefile.org. Other CTCs can sign up by contacting Gabrielle Hammond at firstname.lastname@example.com, or go to icanefile.org/programs. Contact her soon!
The Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC or EIC) gives certain taxpayers up to $4,140 back in their federal tax refund. The average credit for eligible workers with children is $2,000. Some very low-income people without children may qualify for an average credit of $200. Most people do not know about the credit, so they do not claim it on their tax return. Someone who is eligible but did not file for the credit in years past can claim the credit for up to three years.
Many low-income families commonly fall victim to high priced "Refund Anticipation Loans" (RALs), commonly offered by most commercial tax preparation offices. While these loans speed an advanced payment to a worker by a few weeks, families lose needed money in fees. E-filing still speeds up refunds and also ensures that families get all the money they deserve.
Did you know that Seattle residents help guide the City's telecommunications policy? Well, they do, and congratulations are in order as leadership changes on the Citizens Telecommunications and Technology Advisory Board (CTTAB).
At a recent election, Jeffrey J. Techico, of PeaceHealth, has been elected 2003 chair of the board. He has been serving on the Tech Matching Fund Review Committee. Jeff replaces Brad Stilwell, of RealNetworks, who provided strong leadership through his term in office.
Harriet Wasserman, assistant dean for information technology at Seattle Central Community College, has been elected vice-chair. She takes the helm from Shannon Frisbie of Preston, Gates and Ellis. Both Brad and Shannon remain on CTTAB.
CTTAB has 15 members, eight appointed by the Mayor and seven appointed by the City Council. Thirteen members are at-large, while there is one representative each from education and public access. See seattle.gov/cttab for more information.
"Making Connections has helped me realize how many options I have out there, and as a senior, being open minded about other areas makes me feel that the 'sky's the limit' again. I'm proud to be a woman, and I'm proud to be in this program." - Anonymous Student
Making Connections is a 2002 Technology Matching Fund recipient. The program is offered through the UW Women's Center. Annually, the program works with 100 high school students of underserved populations to increase the likelihood that they'll enroll in college and enter careers in math, science, and technology. This program is open to all, but specifically targets girls, students of color, students from low-income households, and first-generation college bound students. Currently, 90 percent of their students are girls of color.
Through mentoring and interactive workshops, the program develops participants' confidence, prepares them for the college admissions process, and provides the skills necessary to pursue further studies in these fields. One participant commented, "As a person interested in a career in physics or aeronautics, seeing so many women being successful in their careers made me realize that if they can do it, I can do it too." Participants also benefit from a new initiative supported by the 2002 Technology Matching Fund that provides much needed technical training to increase their literacy, confidence, and frequency in using computers and the Internet. Another participant reflected, "Making Connections has opened my mind to new careers that I find interesting. Also, it has helped me learn about computers and astronomy through the workshops."
All students participating in the Making Connections program benefit from a commitment to providing students with the organizational, personal, and academic tools that lead to a successful future. "I am planning to study pharmacy next year when I attend college. I am happy that I got a chance to join Making Connections and I recommend others to join this wonderful program!" This student is currently enrolled at the UW. For more information, to volunteer, or to donate to this program, please contact: Jo Anderson, (206) 616-2366, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Estyn concerns over Fishguard schools
6:00pm Sunday 12th August 2012 in News
Two Estyn reports have raised concerns about standards in two Fishguard schools.
Fishguard's primary school, Ysgol Glannau Gwaun, has been placed under special follow-up measures following Estyn's visit to the school in April.
The report says that current performance at the school, which opened in its new building in September, is adequate, but prospects for improvement are unsatisfactory.
Reasons given for the categorisation include unstable leadership, shortcomings in the school's self evaluation and development plan and not enough progress being made in addressing the recommendations in the last inspection in 2006.
The report also says that there is too much inconsistency in the standard of teaching and assessment, a considerable minority of pupils are making progress that is lower than expected and the results for pupils at the end of key stage 2 are consistently lower than the average for the family of similar schools.
Inspectors did note many strengths at the school, particularly in the aspects of care, the learning environment, support and guidance, links with parents and other partnerships.
The school will now receive additional monitoring, support and guidance.
Estyn will visit the school each term to monitor progress and they will conduct another full inspection next May.
Pembrokeshire County Council staff have drawn up an action plan and will be working closely with the school's staff and governors to raise standards and secure improvement.
Parents will receive a copy of the school's post-inspection plan by October half term.
Inspectors visited the town's secondary school, Ysgol Bro Gwaun, in April of this year. They said that the school's current performance and prospects for improvement were adequate.
Inspectors noted a lot of good practice at the school, including its inclusive ethos, extra-curricular activities good quality of teaching in many lessons and the pupils' attitudes to school and their lessons.
However, its overall current performance was only judged as adequate for reasons including: below average performance in exams, untidy presentation of work with unnecessary errors, significant under performance by boys and inconsistency in the quality of marking The report, which is publicly available on the Estyn website, also states that 51% of pupils at the school, which has the maximum budget per pupil in Pembrokeshire, have special educational needs, more than twice the Welsh average.
Recommendations made by the inspectors include raising standards in Key Stages 3 and 4 especially among boys and improving the quality of pupils' handwriting, presentation and spelling.

McDonald faces Phillies, who welcome back Utley
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, McDonald is the first Pirate since 1900 to allow three or fewer runs in each of his first 14 starts on the season.
"He just comes down and deals," teammate Andrew McCutchen said. "He gives us a chance to score some runs, then keeps us ahead the whole game. He's grown. He's going out there and doing a good job."
McDonald will look to keep up that pace on Wednesday against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
In his previous start, on Thursday against the Twins, McDonald tossed his first career complete game, allowing just one run on six hits and striking out five. He improved to 6-3 on the season with a 2.19 ERA.
"It's nice to get one. It's something we've talked about," manager Clint Hurdle said. "Moving forward, we'll let everyone know he's done it. I'm sure he'll let everyone know he's done it -- and rightfully so."
Meanwhile, the Phillies are expected to use their bullpen to get through Wednesday's contest after playing a doubleheader against the Rays on Sunday.
After Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee were used in the doubleheader, a likely option is reliever Raul Valdes, who last pitched on Saturday and tossed two innings, surrendering only one hit.
On the offensive side, the Phillies will be happy to welcome back second baseman Chase Utley, who appears ready to return.
In his final rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday, Utley belted a home run and finished 2-for-5.
"So far, so good," Utley said after the IronPigs' 10-3 win. "I'm looking forward to moving forward. I'll talk to [general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.] and tell him how I feel and go from there. Right now I feel good. Everything so far has been pretty good. I got a few pitches to hit, put some decent swings on the ball. And there you go. I felt like I got a few kinds of balls defensively and made out OK. So in my mind that's a positive. I'm feeling pretty confident. I felt a little bit more comfortable out there on the field and in the batter's box, and hopefully I'll move forward from here."
Pirates: Barajas unlikely to go on DL
Though neither Rod Barajas nor manager Clint Hurdle think the bone bruise in Barajas' left knee will put him on the disabled list, the catcher will likely be on the bench for a few days.
To deal with Barajas' absence, the Pirates optioned first baseman Matt Hague to Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday and called up catcher Eric Fryer. To make room for Fryer on the 40-man roster, left-hander Daniel Moskos was designated for assignment.
"We don't think he'll be a DL candidate," Hurdle said. "But we do have a bone contusion to deal with; sometimes they respond sooner than later. But we're in a position now where every game matters, and I don't think it would be fair to Rod or to our club to carry one catcher through this period."
Phillies: Howard could be back after All-Star break
First baseman Ryan Howard will return to Philadelphia on Wednesday for "functional testing on his left Achilles", the team announced on Tuesday. If Howard passes all those tests, he will begin a rehab assignment with Class A Lakewood on Thursday.
Once a position player begins a rehab assignment, he has 20 days before he must be activated unless there is a setback. So if Howard takes the full 20 days, he could be back no later than July 18, six games following the All-Star break.
Howard has been on the DL since the season started after undergoing surgery on the Achilles in October. He also suffered a setback because of an infection in the heel in February.
"More than likely, the way things look, [he'll be back] after the All-Star break," manager Charlie Manuel said. "He feels real good. He still says that when he runs he's got a little limp. He says, 'I want to play, and I feel like I can play.' He says, 'I don't know if I'll be where you want me to be or not,' but at the same time, he's got to be able to go play and be able to do some things. He feels like he's getting there. He's very positive about where he's at."
Worth noting
The Phillies are 12-5 against the National League Central this season, the highest winning percentage against that division for any NL club this season.
Pirates third baseman Pedro Alvarez has gone 15-for-34 with five home runs, three doubles and 10 RBIs in his last 10 games.

This site complies with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information: verify here.
If you would like to know about the symptoms and diagnosis of bunions, and about bunion treatment, the following information will interest you.
If you are considering having bunion treatment - a bunion operation - or have bunions surgery planned, it will be useful to know all you can about it. This includes:
why you need a bunion operation
what it will be like
how it will affect you
what risks are involved
any alternatives to bunions surgery.
The information here on the subject of bunion surgery is a guide to common medical practice. Each hospital and doctor will have slightly different ways of doing things when carrying out bunion treatment, so you should follow their guidance where it is different from the information given here. Because all patients, conditions and treatments vary it cannot cover everything. Use this information when making your bunion treatment choices with your doctors. You should mention any worries you have. Remember that you can ask for more information at any time.
You have a combination of two problems. You have developed a bunion, and your big toe is going towards your second toe, called hallux valgus. Bunions can appear on both feet.
A bunion refers to the prominent bump on the side of the joint at the base of your big toe. It can make finding comfortable shoes difficult. The bump on your toe may be red and sore.
Bunions can run in families with certain foot types, or may be caused by arthritis, nerve conditions, foot injuries or other conditions that result in abnormal weight distribution in the feet. It is also suggested that tight-fitting, high-heeled and narrow-toed shoes may increase the risk of bunion formation. Bunions are more often seen in women than men and become more common with age.
The aim of the operation is to straighten your big toe and reduce the size of your bunion.
The main benefit is to reduce the pain from your bunion. By straightening your toe and narrowing your foot, it will be easier to find comfortable footwear.
Before bunion surgery is considered, non-surgical approaches or conservative care should be tried. You could wear extra-wide special shoes or you can use a splint. Splints hold the big toe straighter but they do not fix the problem and the toe will not remain straight when you are not wearing the splint. Anti-inflammatory medications can be of help to reduce pain and swelling, and simple painkillers can relieve the pain. Physiotherapy will not help.
Your big toe will bend further towards your second toe and may even overlap it.
Most people try bunion pads from the chemists or the chiropodists before considering surgery. If the pads do not help and your toe is still painful then you should have your big toe straightened.
You should not have a general anaesthetic if you have major medical problems, such as high blood pressure or a bad heart. It is possible to do the operation under a regional anaesthetic.
You should not have the operation simply to make your feet look better.

A jam session is a musical act where musicians play by improvising without extensive preparation or predefined arrangements. Jam sessions are often used by musicians to develop new material, find suitable arrangements, or simply as a social gathering and communal practice session. Jam sessions may be based upon existing songs or forms, may be loosely based on an agreed chord progression or chart suggested by one participant, or may be wholly improvisational. Jam sessions can range from very loose gatherings of amateurs to sophisticated improvised recording sessions intended to be edited and released to the public.
Musicvox Guitars describes Abe Ovadia as "Jazz phenom, innovator, & a breath of fresh air and excitement." Since his New York City arrival in 2009, Abe Ovadia has become an essential part of the city's jazz scene as a guitarist & composer.

His debut album "The Jem" was released in spring 2011 followed by tours featuring Brian Lynch, Jd Allen, & Benito Gonzalez.
"I have worked with Abe in professional performing situations multiple times. It has been very enjoyable to play with him, as well as to perform his original music. He is playing at a world-class level." - Brian Lynch, Grammy-award winning trumpeter
"Abe is not a conventional guitarist by any means. It is clear that he plays by his own rules and he is not out to prove anything to anyone other than to those who have preceded him on the bandstand -- Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones." - Something Else! Reviews
"Abe is a musician with heart and soul, who puts his beautiful sound at the service of emotion." - Jean-Michel Pilc, world renowned pianist

John Hurt Movies
Considered one of Great Britain's most consistently brilliant players,
John Hurt
is at his best when playing victims forced to suffer mental, physical, or spiritual anguish. A small man with a slightly sinister countenance and a tenor voice that never completed the transition between early adolescence and manhood, Hurt is generally cast in supporting or leading roles as eccentric characters in offbeat films. The son of a clergyman, Hurt was training to be a painter at St. Martin's School of the Arts when he became enamored with acting and enrolled in London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art instead. He made his theatrical and film debuts in 1962 (
The Wild and the Willing
). Though he frequently appears on-stage, Hurt, unlike his many colleagues, is primarily a film and television actor. He gave one of his strongest early performances playing Richard Rich in
Fred Zinnemann
A Man for All Seasons
(1966). His subsequent work remained high quality through the '70s. On television, Hurt made his name in the telemovie
The Naked Civil Servant
and furthered his growing reputation as the twisted Caligula on the internationally acclaimed BBC miniseries
I, Claudius
(1976). He received his first Oscar nomination for playing a supporting role in the harrowing
Midnight Express
and a second nomination for his sensitive portrayal of the horribly deformed John Merrick -- but for his voice, Hurt was unrecognizable beneath pounds of latex and makeup. In 1984, Hurt was the definitive Winston Smith in
Michael Radford
's version of Orwell's 1984. Other memorable roles include a man who finds himself hosting a terrifying critter in
(1979), his parody of that role in
Mel Brooks
(1987), an Irish idiot in
The Field
(1990), and in
Rob Roy
In 1997, Hurt played the lead role of Giles De'ath (pronounced day-ath) for the comedy drama Love and Death on Long Island. The film, which follows a widower (Hurt) who forms an unlikely obsession with a teen heartthrob who lives in Long Island and occasionally stars in low-brow films. Love and Death was praised for its unlikely, yet poignant portrait of unrequited love. The same year, Hurt took on the role of a multi-millionaire willing to fund a scientist's (Jodie Foster) efforts to communicate with alien life in Contact. Hurt took a voice role in the animated series Journey to Watership Down and its sequel, Escape to Watership Down in 1999, and again for The Tigger Story in 2000. In 2001, Hurt joined the cast of Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone to play the small but vital role of wand merchant Mr. Ollivander, and narrated Lars von Trier's experimental drama Dogville. Later, Hurt played an American professor in Hellboy (2004), and won praise for his portrayal of a bounty hunter in The Proposition, a gritty Western from director John Hillcoat.
Hurt continued to work in small but meaty supporting roles throughout the next several years, most notably in the drama Beyond the Gates (2005), for which he played a missionary who arrived in Rwanda just before genocide erupted, and as the tyrannical Chancellor Sutler in director James McTiegue's adaptation of Alan Moore's graphic novel V for Vendetta (2006). In 2010, Hurt reprised his role of Mr. Ollivander for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, and for its sequel in 2011. The actor co-starred with Charlotte Rampling in Melancholia (2011), Lars von Trier's meditation on depression, and played the Head of the British Secret Intelligence Service in the multi-Academy Award nominated spy thriller Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy the same year.

Let the Right One In director Tomas Alfredson takes the helm for this adaptation of John Le Carré's novel about an ex-British agent who emerges from retirement to expose a mole in MI6. England, 1973: British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) head Control (John Hurt) and his top-ranking lieutenant George Smiley (Gary Oldman) are both forced into retirement after a mission involving respected secret agent Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) turns unexpectedly deadly. As the Cold War continues to escalate, suspicions of a Soviet double agent begin to grow within SIS. Subsequently summoned by Undersecretary Oliver Lacon (Simon McBurney), Smiley is secretly reemployed by the SIS in order to root out the double agent suspected of sharing top-secret British intelligence with the Soviets. Meanwhile, as Smiley and his new partner Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch) begin systematically examining all of the official missions and records involving MI6, the veteran spy can't help but recall an encounter he once had with Karla, a dangerous Russian operative, years prior. At first, uncovering the identity of the infiltrator seems nearly impossible. Smiley and Guillam get a big break, however, when undercover agent Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy) reveals that he has fallen for a mysterious woman in Turkey named Irina (Svetlana Khodchenkova), who may have a crucial lead. Later, upon learning that Control had comprised a list of five possible suspects, code-named Tinker (Toby Jones), Tailor (Colin Firth), Soldier (Ciarán Hinds), Poor Man (David Dencik), and Beggar Man -- none other than Smiley himself -- the investigation begins to heat up again. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A brave young stonemason assembles a fierce band of warriors to prevent an evil king from acquiring the artifact that will permit him to rule the world in this epic mythological fantasy from visionary filmmaker Tarsem Singh.

When Doyle absentmindedly begins mistaking Lou for his late, beloved wife, the damaged girl senses an opportunity to use her grandfather as a tool to strike back against her mother.

In 1975, John Hurt starred in a BBC television adaptation of Quentin Crisp's autobiography The Naked Civil Servant, playing the flamboyantly gay author and actor, and in 2009 Hurt revisits the role in this comedy-drama based on the latter years of Crisp's life. Crisp rose to fame in the UK following the publication of his memoirs and the success of a one-man show, but when a series of typically frank but witty quips during an interview lead to a public scandal, Crisp is approached by an American talent agent, Connie Clausen (Swoosie Kurtz), who says she can get him work in the United States. Crisp relocates to New York City, where he stages a show entitled "How To Be Happy" and gains a new audience. However, the high camp of Crisp's persona and his habit of making deliberately provocative statements (such as calling AIDS "a fad" and calling homosexuality "a terrible disease") earns him the enmity of some gay activists and causes the show to close prematurely. Clausen arranges for Crisp to meet Phillip Steele (Denis O'Hare), the publisher of the Village Voice, and Steele offers Crisp a job as the paper's new film critic. Crisp's witty and acerbic commentary on new movies wins him a new fan base and he and Steele become close friends, but as age and broken relationships begin to take their toll on Crisp, he returns to the stage in a new show created in collaboration with performance artist Penny Arcade (Cynthia Nixon). An Englishman In New York received its world premiere at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival; the film takes its title from a song by Sting, who struck up a friendship with Crisp when they both appeared in the movie The Bride. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Lecture 21
Two men separated by a hundred years share a similar and provocative point of view in this offbeat drama. Mondrian Killroy (John Hurt) is an iconoclastic college professor who has earned a remarkable reputation for his lectures in which he presents scathing re-evaluations of important and acclaimed works of art. Martha (Leonor Watling) is a former student of Killroy who is a passionate admirer of his work, and is involved in a project to recreate on of his most controversial talks -- "Lecture 21," in which Killroy defends in detail his opinion that Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is an old-fashioned piece of claptrap that has not withstood the test of time. Meanwhile, in the 1800's, Hans Peters (Noah Taylor) is a respected musician who is led by fate to Hoffmeister (Clive Russell), a scholar who asks Peters to help him and his compatriots prove their similar contention that Beethoven's final symphony is not the masterwork it's often said to be. Moving back and forth between the 19th and 20th Centuries, Killroy and Hoffmeister offer their own theories about the strengths and weaknesses of one of the world's most celebrated composers, and a number of their friends and acquaintances, some knowledgeable and some wildly eccentric, present their thoughts about the artist and his art. Lezione 21 (aka Lecture 21) was the first directorial project from acclaimed novelist Alessandro Baricco. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Kevin Spacey and Bob Balaban headline Austin Powers director Jay Roach's all-star docudrama examining the events surrounding the most controversial presidential election in United States history. The highest office in the country is up for grabs, and the fate of the free world may hang in the balance. When the initial tallies from Florida voting polls prove inconclusive, the decision is made to hold a recount. But it's a controversial decision to say the least, and one that caused many skeptical voters to suspect foul play. Eventually the case would go all the way to the Supreme Court, and as the trial gets under way charismatic Texas republican James Baker (Tom Wilkinson) attempts to rally public support for the recount. But the Democrats aren't about to lie down and die just yet, because Al Gore's former chief of staff Ron Klain (Spacey) can play hardball with the best of the old elephants. Now, as these two opposing giants come to blows over the fate of the presidency, they gradually begin to develop a grudging respect for one another. Laura Dern, John Hurt, Dennis Leary, and Ed Begley, Jr. round out the cast for the film that blends actual news footage and verbatim dialogue into fictionalized recreations that are both highly entertaining and deeply dramatic. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The French-language psychological drama Boxes - which represents veteran actress Jane Birkin's (Blow-up) directorial debut on a narrative feature - constitutes an extended, theatrically garrulous meditation on the rift of understanding inevitable between parents and children. In addition to directing, Birkin also stars, as Anna, a fiftysomething woman in the throes of menopause, who journeys to her family's summer home in Brittany and leafs through the boxes of the title, filled to the brims with mementos and tidbits of family history. As Anna pours over the contents, individuals from her life materialize before her eyes, including her venerable deceased father (Michel Piccoli), her three daughters by different men (Natacha Regnier, Lou Doillon and Adele Exarchopoulos), and her headstrong mother (Geraldine Chaplin). The journey into the past thus becomes a cerebral and philosophical meditation on familial relationships, and an exploration of such themes as love, faithfulness, betrayal, and changes wrought by the ravages of time. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Producer Julian Lennon collaborates with screenwriter/director Kim Kindersley to offer viewers a rare glimpse into a tribal culture that has endured for centuries and whose detailed creation story revolves around the most majestic mammals to swim the seven seas. Extensive underwater footage serves as the spectacular visual backdrop to ancient legends that gradually unfold to offer a fascinating glimpse into humankind's past, and a potentially dire look into our future. By exploring the connection between the so-called "mothers of the sea" and the ancient civilizations whose very culture was based on their existence, the filmmakers call upon viewers to create peace and unity on Earth by embracing every living being and recognizing that all life forms, no matter how different they may appear, are all intricately linked together. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

An obsessive French perfumer with a highly developed olfactory sense and an all-consuming drive to capture the essence of love eventually resorts to murder in his unrepentant quest to find the key ingredient for his recipe in director Tom Tykwer's adaptation of author Patrick Suskind's best-selling 1985 novel. Born in a fetid fish market and raised in a dilapidated orphanage, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) toiled his childhood away in a rank tannery run by the thuggish Grimal (Sam Douglas). Subsequently obsessed by smell, Grenouille's keen olfactory sense becomes so finely tuned that it eventually overpowers such human qualities as love and compassion. Though he has indeed discovered the unmistakable scent of a woman, Grenouille finds it impossible to connect with the fairer sex on any sort of meaningful level. Roaming the streets of Paris late one night, Grenouille catches the scent of a young girl selling plums and impulsively strangles her, later sniffing her nude corpse in a twisted attempt to preserve the distinctive scent in his memory. After persuading legendary perfumer Giuseppe Baldini (Dustin Hoffman) to take him on as an apprentice, Grenouille travels to the town of Grasse in Southern France in order to learn the art of enfleurage at a firm run by the highly respected Mme. Arnulfi (Corinna Harfouch). It is there that Grenouille becomes dangerously drawn to the vestal aroma of the young and beautiful Laura (Rachel Hurd-Wood), the daughter of widower merchant Antione Richis (Alan Rickman). Soon driven to madness by such a pure scent, the spellbound Grenouille continues to claim the lives of the numerous young girls in a tragic attempt to bottle the impossibly elusive smell of virginal womanhood. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
