I've tried to use "pollard" in my sentences. Have I made any mistakes? I'm not sure if my sentences sound natural.
After John pruned and pollarded his oaks, his arms and shoulders hurt. He pollarded his trees every two years, and he hated to do it since his fall a few years before. He had slipped off the ladder and hurt his spine. His wife told him he should hire an arborist to do the job, but John would't hear of it. "They are my trees and nobody is going to touch them as long as I can move my limbs," he told her angrily.
Or should I start instead with "After prunning and pollarding his oaks, John's arms and shoulders hurt."?

It was simultaneously the debut of the fifth generation PowerPC (PowerPC 970), PowerMac G5 and the new case is made of anodized aluminum alloy, with a "cheese grater" in the front. The best form factor for professional Macs in their entire history…
The statement about "the best design…" – stupidity and nonsense, as tastes differ. But I'll risk it. Especially now there is a formula UI/UX, which allows to evaluate the design of an open mind. A high level of design is when UI (beautiful) products tends to innity, and the UX (ergonomics, or, speaking in Russian, "Human Experience") to approach zero.
In any case, about the meaning of UI/UX I was joking. Not everything is so hopeless and bad. But it is better. Apple, straining all his considerable design and engineering forces in the sweat of persons working on the creation of a new "professional Mac", most likely the next Mac Pro, absolutely incredible shape, "cool"…
They would love us all be a pleasant surprise. I know a way: return the case with the "cheese grater", even without these holes, it's not them. But alas, it is easier to return the youth.
June 23, 2003, opening the WWDC, Steve jobs presented to the public, according to Steve, the first 64-bit personal computer in the world, on the PowerPC G5.
About this event was published two press releases: one about the PowerPC 970, on behalf of Apple and IBM. Second – on a PowerMac G5, from Apple.
PowerMac G5, at all
Quite rare in the history of personal computers: view what's inside can be very easy. One of the walls (right, if you look at the box from the front) opened the hood of the car. Everything the user needs to be accessed, had, insert, or replace the hard drive, RAM, or expansion card can be had without the aid of any tools.
Everything else was hidden from the eyes and hands in a box labeled "G5". The opening of the box canceled the warranty. It was the fifth generation of the PowerPC and North bridge from Apple engineers, in a massive aluminium heatsink.
In the Mac Pro (in the buildings with the "cheese grater" in the front) access to the variable parts of the configuration even more convenient. And then… the evil magician transformed him into some kind of baskets for garbage design work, with offended pride in his voice rejecting suspicions professional masses: "he doesn'T overheat!". But alas, the suspicions were unfounded – before the masses apologized. And… waiting. In 2019 promised…
However, we are traveling in time, and while we are on the calendar on 23 June 2003, the PowerMac G5 is just beginning…
The first generation PowerMac G5
Have a PowerMac G5 first generation, in cases with "holes" on the front side of the housing, two crucial differences from all professional Macs, visited the light up to 23 June 2003.
Is processor: 64-bit, with unprecedented parallelism of all that is possible within the PowerPC G5. And performance. Even in the cheapest basic version, it was noticeably larger than its predecessors.
Despite the common identifier model, strictly speaking, models of the first PowerMac G5 had two. Cheap (very different from all the others) and two "abruptly", is much more close to each other (I'll call them "expensive").
Rumor has it (no official confirmation) that the cheapest PowerMac G5 is a relic product, all that remained of the model identifier PowerMac7,1.
At the last moment he was added to the PowerMac7,2 and still released. It looks like it. On Mac G5 with a clock frequency less than 1.5 GHz, according to eyewitnesses, slower than a Mac and with the same frequency on G4. 1.6 GHz is a real G5.
However, shared among all variants of the first generation PowerMac G5 is.
This 1:2 ratio between the clock frequency of the front bus and CPU speed, 4x SuperDrive, Serial ATA with data transfer rate of 1.5 GB/s and the second level cache of 512 K.
And two bays for SATA hard disk drives size 3.5 inches, one of which is in the base set was busy.
Slots for AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth 1.1 (AirPort card and Bluetooth module need to be purchased for an additional fee).
Ethermet 10/100/100Base-T, 3 USB 2.0 ports, 2 FireWire 400, 1 FireWire 800 port.
Modem 56k V. 92.
Code names is the most important! Omega and Q37.
Presumably a former PowerMac7,1
The clock frequency of the PowerPC G5 – 1.6 GHz. The clock frequency of frontal system bus, respectively, of 800 MHz.
Type of memory PC2700 DDR SDRAM includes 256 Megabytes. Chips for 128 MB in two banks. Limitations: memory must be installed in pairs of chips of equal size. The maximum amount (which can be configured in the online Apple store) – 4 GB.
Graphics card – NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64 MB VRAM, 8x AGP slot.
The resolution on the primary and secondary monitors up to 1920×1200.
Hard drive capacity 80 GB 7 200 rpm In the online store offered drives 160 and 250 Gigabytes,so when ordering it was possible to increase the amount of disk space to 500 GB. Came up and any other 3.5 inch SATA disks.
Geekbench 2 – 918 points. Price… 1 999 $ (in 2003, according to the current exchange rate is about two and a half).
Three expansion slots (PCI).
PowerMac G5 SP 1.8 PowerMac G5 DP 2.0
Expensive options two. One with a single processor (SP = Single Processor) with a clock frequency of 1.8 GHz (clock frequency of frontal system bus 900 MHz), the second – with two processors (DP = Double Processor) with a clock frequency of 2.0 GHz and a clock frequency of frontal system bus at 1.0 GHz.
The second level cache of 512 K.
Expensive options used memory "Mature" – PC3200 DDR SDRAM, and the basic kit is 512 Megabytes. To increase it to 8 GB, again placing in both Bank chips with the same amount of memory.
Included hard drive capacity 160 GB (7 200 rpm) In online store offered drives of 80 and 250 GB.
Should you want to purchase to connect a larger number of SATA drives, the manufacturers who swore that their production does not affect the thermal balance of the computer, but with rare exceptions it was not true. However, serious troubles because of this I have not heard. All PowerMac G5 without any problems and cope with more severe overheating.
Expensive options used PCI-X, and they were three.
In the SP-version video card – NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Ultra with 64MB of video memory installed in the 8x AGP slot. The resolution on the primary and secondary monitors up to 1920×1200.
Included hard drive capacity 160 GB (7 200 rpm) In online store offered drives in 80 and 250 Gigabytes,so when ordering it was possible to increase the amount of disk space to 500 GB. Came up and any other 3.5 inch SATA disks.
Geekbench 2 – 1047 points. … The price of 2 399$.
In the variant DP – graphics card ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, AGP 8x, with 64 MB of video memory. The resolution on the primary and secondary monitors up to 1920×1200.
2 999 $ 1,692 score in Geekbench 2.
The number of processors in the medium variant doubles
November 18, 2003 Apple has replaced the single-processor version clocked at the same dual with the same clock frequency.
The updated version of Geekbench 2 score 1 score 541, and 2 cost $ 499, $ 100 more expensive than its predecessor.

The Swedish sports betting company, Kambi, is making forays in to the Mexican market, by roping in Play City casinos as partners.
Signing of the pact by two leaders in their fields is bound not only to benefit them, but will also benefit the fans who wish to place their bets on sporting events in different disciplines conducted across the world.
Similar Stature and Philosophy
Coming together of two like-minded business groups with services, which are complementing each other, is sure to succeed in their mission in a big way.
Play City casinos are a part of Grupo Televisa who is a leading media conglomerate with business interests in broadcasting.
Their broadcast ventures include television channels in South American countries and providing direct-to-home satellite television services.
As a part of their diversification plans, the group has ventured into online betting casinos and also lottery schemes.
Now as a logical extension of their business activity, Grupo Televisa has roped in Kambi to introduce sports betting in their casinos.
Sports Betting at Kambi
Kambi, has won the trust of the sports fan who wish to bet on sporting events for over many years.
Products offered at Kambi include pre-match bets, live betting and pool betting in all major sporting categories.
Kambi solutions have been flawless and offer bettors perfect experience in sports betting, with internally designed software.
Since the software is developed in-house, bettors are assured of safe gambling environ when they wager their money on various sporting events at Kambi.
Mutually Benefitting Association
As Kambi and Televisa were eyeing for expansion by entering new markets, it is not surprising to find both the big players in their respective fields forging an alliance to take their business empires forward.
From the press release of the companies, on the eve of the signing of agreement to commence sports betting in the Mexican region, representatives of both the companies have waxed eloquent about their new partner, as they look forward to a prosperous association.
Initial Launch
To start with, Kambi has decided to launch fixed odds sports betting stations from two of Play City casinos.
The long term plans envisaged by the two companies include plans to introduce sports betting in other channels of Televisa Group to register their presence in the South American market emphatically.
Since sports betting is increasingly becoming popular as a hobby and profession, outlook for both the companies in their expansion drive seems pretty exciting.
From the Point of View of Players
The partnership between two heavy weights from two different continents has already upped the ante for the eager fans of sports betting.
The sports loving populace of Central and South America soon could showcase their expertise in the leading sports and games by placing bets in different categories.
In addition to the long list of existing faithful players at Play City casinos, new players who owe their allegiance singularly to sports betting are bound to sign up at the casino, now, to increase the client profile as well as the numbers.

■ Bargaining
■ Depression or sadness
■ Acceptance
These stages may occur sequentially or overlap in different combinations. At each stage, follow the same approach. Be alert to patients' feelings and to cues that they want to talk about them. Use facilitative techniques to help them to bring out their concerns. Make openings for them to ask questions: "I wonder if you have any concerns about the procedure?" . . . "Your illness?" . . . "What it will be like when you go home?" Explore these concerns and provide whatever information the patient requests. Be wary of inappropriate reassurance. If you can explore and accept patients' feelings, answer their questions, and demonstrate your commitment to staying with them throughout their illness, reassurance will grow where it really matters—within the patients themselves.
Dying patients rarely want to talk about their illnesses all the time, nor do they wish to confide in everyone they meet. Give them opportunities to talk and then listen receptively, but if they prefer to stay at a social level, you need not feel like a failure. Remember that illness—even a terminal one—is only one small part of the total person. A smile, a touch, an inquiry after a family member, a comment on the day's events, or even some gentle humor all recognize and affirm other areas of the patient's individuality and help sustain the living person. To communicate appropriately, you have to get to know the patient; that is part of the helping process.
Understanding the patient's wishes about treatment at the end of life is an important part of a clinician's role. Failing to establish this communication is widely viewed as a flaw in clinical care. Even if discussions of death and dying are difficult for you, you must learn to ask specific questions. The condition of the patient and the health care setting often determine what needs to be discussed. For patients who are acutely ill and in the hospital, discussing what the patient wants to have done in the event of a cardiac or {respiratory arrest is usually mandatory. Asking about "DNR status" (Do Not Resuscitate) is often difficult when the clinician has no previous relationship with the patient and lacks knowledge of the patient's values or life ^experience. Patients may also be unrealistic about the effectiveness of resuscitation based on information in the media. Find out about the patient's frame of reference. "What experiences have you had with the death of a lose friend or relative?" "What do you know about cardiopulmonary re-iscitation (CPR)?" Educate patients about the likely success of CPR, es-ecially if they are chronically ill or advanced in age. Assure them that reeving pain and taking care of their other spiritual and physical needs will a priority.
In general, it is important to encourage any adult, but especially the elderly or chronically ill, to establish a health proxy, an individual who can act for the patient in life-threatening situations. This can be part of the interview aimed at a "values history" that identifies what is important to the patient and makes life worth living, and the point when living would no longer be worthwhile. Ask about how patients spend their time every day, what brings them joy, and what they look forward to. Make sure to clarify the meaning of statements like "You said that you don't want to be a burden to your family. What exactly do you mean by that?" In addition, explore the patient's religious or spiritual frame of reference so you and the patient can make the most appropriate decisions about health care.
Sexuality in the Clinician-Patient Relationship. Clinicians occasionally find themselves physically attracted to their patients. The emotional and physical intimacy of the clinician-patient relationship may lead to sexual feelings. If you become aware of such feelings, accept them as a normal human response and bring them to the conscious level so they will not affect your behavior. Denying these feelings makes it more likely for you to act inappropriately. Any sexual contact or romantic relationship with patients is unethical; keep your relationship with the patient within professional bounds and seek help if you need it.
Occasionally, clinicians meet patients who are frankly seductive or make sexual advances. Calmly but firmly make it clear that your relationship is professional, not personal. You may also wish to reflect on your image. Have you been overly warm with the patient? Expressed your affection physically? Sought his or her emotional support? Has your clothing or demeanor been unconsciously seductive? It is your responsibility to avoid these problems.

It's time for a new bass. I recently played a friend's 2003 Ernie Ball MusicMan Stingray 5H and loved it!
Now I'm looking for a 4 string Stingray for myself.
Can you please help me understand the different models? I've been studying everything I can find, but still have many questions.
For example, there's Sterling SUB, Sterling, Sterling Classic, Sterling Ray 34, Sterling 4H, and 4HH. Then there's the (non Sterling), Stingray, Classic, Special, 4H, 4HH and more.
I thought the SUB basses were entry level, Sterlings as Intermediate, and straight StingRays were the top, but I've seen some Sterlings selling amongst the highest priced StingRays.
I know this is a vague question, but rather than try every model, I was hoping for a little guidance.

What Your Boyfriend Really Wants for Christmas: Sports
Still looking for that last minute gift for your guy? If he's the sporty type, you can't go wrong with a good bit of sports kit. To get some inside knowledge, we asked the chaps at Average Joes to give us their top tips for Christmas sporty gifts.
They've shared three guides so far – including Booze, Gadgets and Sports – this latest ones comes from David, sharing some top tips on what your boyfriend really wants for Christmas when it comes to gadgets.
Recon Jet
If your Joe is the sporty type, there are plenty of ridiculously cool bits of kit on the market. For us, one of the coolest you can get him this Christmas is the Recon Jet.
Perfect for Joes who love their running or cycling, the Recon Jet is a smart-looking pair of sports sunglasses with a couple of nifty bits bolted on. On one arm is the computer, camera and touchpad unit, and on the other is the battery to balance the weight out a bit.
A screen appears on one side of the smart eyewear and can provide consistent updates on whatever data you choose to display, such as your speed, distance travelled and even maps which is provided by GPS.
You can grab a Recon Jet for £579.99. It's not cheap but the technology is ridiculously cool. Check out more details at the Recon website.
adidas X Primeknit Football Boots
If he needs a pair of football boots for the new year, you might as well get him the best. And for us, these are the adidas X with Primeknit. They're billed for the player who causes chaos on the pitch. Even if that's not him – maybe just flatter him with the line anyway!
The revolutionary tight knit upper gives a next generation fit by locking the foot down to the X-Claw traction plate. The updated version also features a new collar and tongue made from one stretchable piece of Primeknit. The boots employ a 3D vacuum skin that offers unbelievable grip and protects the upper in all weather conditions to give Joes the perfect first touch, without limiting the comfort or the fit of the boot.
The adidas X Primeknit football boots are available now from the adidas website and are priced around the £225 mark.
Jabra Sport Pulse Headphones
We all need some motivation when we're running and for most of us that extra bit of drive is provided by music. The Jabra Sport Pulse Headphones are perfect for Joes who want rich sounds without compromising on the training. With an in-ear precision heart rate monitor and real-time voice coaching, Jabra Pulse are the ultimate training earphones.
Downloading the Jabra Sport Life app also gives you an insight into your aerobic level with VO2 max and resting heart rate, which along with the in-ear heart rate monitor means you'll always train in the correct workout zone. There's even some optional personalised audio coaching which gives you feedback on your workout every step of the way!
They're also very practical with play/pause, skipping tracks, volume control and taking calls all controlled by using the inline controls. They're sweatproof and weatherproof, so there is no excuse for missing a training session.
The Jabra Sport Pulse Headphones cost £149.99 from various retailers including Currys.
Nike LunarGlide 7 Running Shoes
If your Joe needs some need running treads, the Nike LunarGlide 7 Flash Running Shoes are some of the best new models around with a lightweight, supportive fit and soft, smooth cushioning underfoot.
The LunarGlide 7s come with Flyknit construction which provides ultimate lockdown in the heel and midfoot. The three-layer mesh in the toe box keeps water at bay while providing support and breathability where you need it most. The two-piece, dual-density Lunarlon midsole features a softer foam core and firmer foam on the medial side for a lightweight, responsive ride with added support. They're also extremely practical for runners in the wetter and darker seasons with a reflective, water-repellent upper which keeps you visible, dry and comfortable in dark, dreary conditions.
The Nike LunarGlide 7 running shoes cost £115 from the Nike website where they're available in Black, Squadron Blue and Team Red colourways. Our tip – go with the Blue!
Game Golf Live
Playing golf can be frustrating enough for your Joe without having to remind himself to fill in the scorecard. Which is why we love the Game Golf Live, the industry's first wearable, real-time shot tracker!
The Game Golf Live works with both iOS and Android smartphones and the idea is simple – the wearable device tracks and captures your round of golf and displays the data during and afterwards on your phone.
The device itself is a small, lightweight device that Joes wear on their waist. The only other bit of kit that's needed is an individual sensor tag which is attached to the top of the grip on each club. But don't worry, these won't affect your Joe's swing – they're feather-light. Using GPS, motion sensors and near-field communication technology, the tags pair with the waist-worn device and your scores automatically record around the course. Location of the hole, club used, distance and accuracy are all stored.
Game Golf Live is available for £249.99 from various stockists including American Golf. It's not cheap but we promise it'll make the world of difference if he's a regular on the course!

Impact of Climate Change
The rise of global issues on climate change in the last decade attracted the attention of Indonesian society in general. Topics of discussion on the issue are taken seriously by the academic community.
A number of scientists in various countries carried out intensively scientific meetings related with climate change and its problem. However, the general society who does not know about the term of climate change feels confuse, so, there are some questions about it. What is a climate change? Why is climate change? and how does it impact to life? and how to adapt to climate change?.
According to Sen (2008) Climate change is a change of the old tendencies in average climate such as changes in average temperature. Further explained that climate change refers to any change in climate over time, whether due to natural changes or as a result of human activity.
In principle, the climate is dynamic in the sense that always changes from time to time. Analogically, it is the same as the continental change, known as continental drift, where the continent in the past consisted of just one big land called supercontinents, then become Eurasia and Gondwana continent, and then expand again for million year to become the continent today.
Causal Factors
According to Burroughs (2007) climate change is caused by two factors, namely: (i) factors are caused by human activities, including gas emissions, dust and aerosols, desertification and deforestation, and the ozone hole, (ii) factors are caused by natural activity i.e. autovarian and non-linearity, the atmosphere and ocean interaction, ocean currents, volcanoes, solar activity and its spots, sea tide power, orbital variation, continental drift, changes in atmospheric composition, gas expenses from the earth, and natural disasters.
Indonesia is a developing country which has natural resources, implicitly contributing to climate change from the actions of human activities that have not been able to process these natural resources. For example, the forest fire by people who are not responsible, vehicle emissions and industrial activities in the city which contributes CO2 to the atmosphere, land-use conversion, mining activities, and many more factors that contribute to climate change in Indonesia.
Impacts of Climate Change
Climate change and variability will affect hidrological cycle which in turn will affect the distribution and availability of water resources for domestic use, food production, industrial activities, and also for hydropower production (van Dam 1999). Further explained that in the past century, human activities have started to affect the global climate, the effect is not only high population growth, but also application of technology developed for survival, to raise the standard of living, and most regrettable again is for non-peace.
According to Schubert et al. (2008), climate change also impacts climate parameters suc as temperature, precipitation, tropical syclon, and sea level rise. Karamouz et al. (2011) adds that the frequency and extent of drought in the world has increased due to climate change in recent years.
Various natural disasters in Indonesia is the impact of climate change itself. As reported by Marfai et al. (2008) in his research that the sea level rise or coastal flood disaster (rob) occurred in Semarang City almost every year, where it causes an economic loss, disruption of transport systems, and trading activity disorder. Hadmoko et al. (2010) also describes in his research that the high population growth, intensive land-use change, and the lack of public awareness of the environmental impact on the height of landslides in Menoreh mountains, Yogyakarta, which resulted in a high death toll and the economic loss.
Disaster recently as reported by various news media is massive drought in several regions in Indonesia due to the long dry season, so residents are forced to use river water for daily consumption needs because their wells dry up. Zavalloni et al. (2008) in his study explains that global warming accelerates land surface drying, increasing the incidence of extreme weather events such as severe droughts with devastating effects on ecosystem structure and function.
Society's Adaptation
Related to the impacts caused by climate change, according to Karamouz et al. (2011) reservoirs, ponds, and pond water storage play an important role in mitigating drought, therefore the reservoir operate algorithm in the time period of drought and can help to mitigate the effects of drought caused by subtracting the estimated water savings.
Management of water resources effectively is necessary to anticipate the water deficit, and watershed management (DAS) is so important to estimate and surface flow for irrigation, industrial and domestic. Hadmoko et al. (2010) also provides an explanation related to the mitigation, prevention, and mitigation of landslides by providing early warning information system in the form of maps, leaflets, and posters in prone areas to such disasters.
Society's adaptation to these conditions is the right decision for their survivals. One form of mitigation of the impacts of climate change is the environmental aspect of preserving the environment by reforestation on marginal areas, the management of industrial and household waste according the rules of the environment, control of the conversion of land use, as well as reducing gas emissions. In addition, efforts to restrictions on population growth, icreasing welfare, as well as in social and economic progress is also main indicator for mitigation.
Contributions to the academics collaborate with government officials trying to invite the community to come together to participate in the mitigation of natural disasters due to climate change. Here are the challenges of Indonesian society today, whether it remains strong with net daily habits by disregarding the problems that have been described trends by various parties, or will change habits with better and more useful for survival in the future?

- Prior to her professional acting career, Miller worked as a photographic model. She signed with Tandy Anderson of Select Model Management London, and modeled for Coca-Cola, Italian Vogue, and posed topless in the 2003 Pirelli Calendar.
- In February 2009, Hugo Boss Fragrances announced that Miller would be the new ambassador for their women's BOSS Orange women's perfume.
- "I don't think it's normal, I don't think it's admirable, I don't think it's desirable."
- "I have met a few Casanovas I like and a few I have not liked - and I hope to meet a few more."
- "I don't normally look like a twig and I do eat like a pig but the weight has just dropped off me."
This performance received huge critical acclaim, with Miller subsequently seen as a competent leading actress. Later films in 2007 have included Stardust and Interview, and upcoming projects include The Edge of Love with good friend, Kiera Knightley, and Hippie Hippie Shake, which is set in 1960s America and also stars Cillian Murphy.
Sienna Miller Filmography
New Year's Eve
Follow-up to Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve celebrates love, hope, forgiveness, second chances and fresh starts, in the intertwining stories of couples and singles, told amidst the pulse and promise of New York City on the most dazzling night of the year.
G. I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Cast: Dennis Quaid, Channing Tatum, Sienna Miller, Ray Park, Rachel Nichols, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Said Taghmaoui, Marlon Wayans, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Arnold Vosloo, Christopher Eccleston
G.I. Joe will be a modern telling of the "G.I. Joe vs. Cobra" storyline and its compelling characters that Hasbro created 25 years ago. The premise of this fantasy is the story of the G.I. Joe team, led by Duke, and their "fight for freedom wherever there is trouble" against the evil Cobra Commander and his Cobra force. This storyline was an instant hit with kids in the early 1980s, spawning a highly popular 3-3/4-inch action figure line, comic book collection and animated series. The G.I. Joe team will not be based in Brussels. Instead, they will be based out of the "Pit" as they were throughout the 1980s comic book series. And, in keeping with the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra fantasy, the movie will feature characters and locations from around the world. Duke, the lead character and head of the G.I. Joe team, will embody the values of bravery and heroism that the first generation of G.I. Joe figures established.
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
Set in Pittsburgh in the early eighties, the story chronicles the last true summer of Art Bechstein's (Jon Foster) youth. Stuck in a dead-end job working for his eccentric sometime girlfriend Phlox (Mena Suvari), and forced into an endless series of airless dinners with his mobster father (Nick Nolte), Art begins to believe that perhaps he doesn't even exist at all.
What begins as a mundane summer is quickly interrupted when he encounters a beautiful debutante (Sienna Miller) and her lusty, no good hoodlum of a boyfriend Cleveland (Peter Sarsgaard). Together they reveal a side of Art and Pittsburgh that he has never known.
As the summer boils on and their adventures darken, Art decides to risk everything to preserve his new-found paradise, and thrusts himself headlong into the blurring boundaries of family, friendship, and love.
The Edge of Love
The passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas (Matthew Rhys) is told through the lives of two extraordinary women. Vera Phillips (Keira Knightley) and Dylan were each other's first loves who feel the thunderbolt once more when they unexpectedly meet in London ten years later. Caitlin (Sienna Miller) is his adventurous wife, wily at using her beauty and always up for a bit of fun.
A charmingly naïve boy from the English village of Wall travels to a magical, mythical world in search of the falling star that will help him win the heart of his true love in this fantasy adventure starring Charlie Cox, Claire Danes, Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ricky Gervais, and Sienna Miller. For hundreds of years the massive cobblestone barrier that surrounds the sleepy English hamlet of Wall has kept the citizens of the village safe and secure from the malevolent supernatural forces that stir just outside its perimeter. When dashing Tristan Thorne (Charlie Cox) promises the fairest girl in the village, Victoria (Sienna Miller), that he will prove his love by bestowing her with a genuine falling star, his daring mission sends him on an adventure far outside the comfortable confines of Wall.
In order to find the fallen star, Tristan will have to ascend the wall and venture deep into the forbidden heart of the fantastical realm known as Stormhold. Upon discovering that the meteorite he sought was in fact a beautiful girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes), who has stumbled though space and is now being pursued by the King of Stormhold's (Peter O'Toole) sons. Tristan vows to protect the otherworldly visitor at all costs. But the king's sons aren't the only ones in search of the luminous Yvaine; fearsome witch Lamia (Michelle Pfeiffer) has become convinced that the young girl's power can help her to achieve eternal youth and beauty.
As Tristan makes his way through Stormhold on a mission to bring the star back to Wall, he will encounter a series of spectacular characters and creatures that will lead him to a fate he never imagined. Layer Cake director Matthew Vaughn serves as director and co-screenwriter for this tale of witches and pirates adapted from the novel by fantasy icon Neil Gaiman, who also produces.
In Interview, the beautiful Sienna Miller and actor/director Steve Buscemi go head-to-head in a sexually charged drama about media, truth, and celebrity.
Self-destructive journalist Pierre Peders (Steve Buscemi) is no stranger to violence and inhumanity. Having made his name as a war reporter, he has traveled the world seeing some of the most horrifying sights imaginable. So he feels that his current puff-piece assignment, an interview with pop diva, TV and movie star Katya (Sienna Miller), is beneath his dignity. The two meet in a restaurant and, instantly, it's a collision of two worlds-Pierre's serious political focus and Katya's superficial world of celebrity. But perhaps all is not as it appears.
When Pierre is slightly injured in a traffic accident inadvertently caused by Katya-she's the proverbial girl who causes traffic accidents-they end up in Katya's spacious loft for a long night of talking, drinking, sparring, and coming close to a sort of embattled intimacy.
Each is scarred in their own way, aching from deep, hidden pain. But honest revelations give way to punishing deceptions. Their confrontation evolves into a passionate verbal chess game spiked with wit, intrigue and sexual tension, capped with a riveting twist ending.
Factory Girl
The true story of one woman's brief and ultimately tragic flirtation with fame in the 1960s provides the basis for this biographical drama. In 1943, Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller) was born to a wealthy and socially prominent family, and she grew up with beauty and money, but also a history of mental illness; she was hospitalized with an eating disorder in her late teens, and by the time she was 21, two of her seven siblings had died before their time. In 1964, Edie moved to New York City, and quickly made a splash on the Manhattan social scene; she became friendly with the famous pop artist Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce), who was fascinated by her gamine loveliness and her quirky personality.
Warhol wasted no time in casting her in one of his underground movies, and she quickly became a crucial part of his retinue of "superstars." Fashion icon Diana Vreeland (Illeana Douglas) was convinced Edie had the looks and charm to also become a successful model, and soon she was gracing the pages of Life, Vogue, and Glamour. But Edie's instability was hardly helped by her new fast-lane lifestyle, and when she met Billy Quinn (Hayden Christensen), a folk rock singer-songwriter often cited as "the voice of a generation," he persuaded her that Warhol and his associates were simply using her fame and beauty for their own gain, and she found herself torn between two powerful mentors, one of whom had become her lover as well. Factory Girl also co-stars Jimmy Fallon, Mena Suvari, and Tara Summers as regulars at the Warhol "Factory." The character of Musician was inspired in part by Bob Dylan, who was romantically involved with Edie Sedgwick for a brief time.
For the first time in his life, the legendary Casanova is about to meet his match with an alluring Venetian beauty, Francesca (Sienna Miller), who does the one thing he never thought possible: refuse him. Through a series of clever disguises and scheming ruses, he manages to get ever closer to Francesca. But he is playing the most dangerous game he has ever encountered ? one that will risk not only his life and reputation, but his only chance at true passion.
This remake of Lewis Gilbert's 1966 film of the same name features Jude Law filling the shoes Michael Caine once wore in the title role of Alfie. As with the original, Law occasionally speaks directly to the camera while his character talks of the opposite sex. Under the direction of Charles Shyer, Alfie follows a charming, if morally lacking, womanizer from one bed to the next. While his actions arise more from nonchalance than malice, Alfie nonetheless faces a moral dilemma when considering that he's impregnated one of his latest girlfriends. Alfie also includes performances from Marisa Tomei, Susan Sarandon, and Nia Long.
Layer Cake
The film centers on a cocaine distributor played by Daniel Craig. The character, who also narrates the film, is deliberately unnamed throughout, but is listed in the credits as "XXXX". XXXX has established a successful business in London buying, cutting and selling cocaine while avoiding the largesse and gangster behaviour associated with drug dealing. Having made his fortune, he secretly plans to retire from the business for good.
XXXX's boss, Jimmy Price (Kenneth Cranham) sends him to track down Charlie, the teenage daughter of Price's associate, Eddie Temple (Michael Gambon), who has fled a rehabilitation centre with her drug-addicted boyfriend. In reality, XXXX is being sent to kidnap Charlie to help Jimmy blackmail Temple over a bad investment.
At the same time, Price instructs XXXX to organise the purchase and distribution of one million ecstasy tablets from a gangster named The Duke (Jamie Foreman). Unbeknownst to XXXX, the pills have been stolen from a gang of Serbian war criminals. Jimmy has found out about XXXX's plans to retire, and believes that either the Serbian gang or Eddie Temple's mercenaries will kill XXXX, allowing him to recover some of his losses.
XXXX's world gradually unravels as he discovers Jimmy Price is informing for the police; XXXX's associate, Morty (George Harris) goes into hiding after brutally beating a former associate in front of a restaurant full of people; the Duke and his gang mysteriously disappear; and the ruthless Eddie Temple involves himself in the already bungled ecstasy deal.
XXXX devises an elaborate scam to play his various adversaries off against one another, and ends up in the clear with both the money and the drugs, and most of his enemies dead. He sticks to his original plan to retire, but as he leaves a celebratory lunch with his associates, he is shot on the front steps of the country house restaurant by The Duke's nephew, Sidney (Ben Whishaw), in revenge for stealing his girlfriend, Tammy (Sienna Miller). The film ends with XXXX left lying bleeding on the steps, his fate unknown.

The United Nations Development Programme and the Brazilian Amnesty Commission recently announced a grant for Brown University's Opening the Archives Project, which is digitizing declassified documents from the U.S. government on Brazil during its military dictatorship from 1964-85.
"The Opening the Archives Project is an effort to support international researchers interested in U.S.-Brazilian relations during two very difficult decades in the nation's history," James Green, who directs the Brazil Initiative at Brown's Watson Institute, said. "The Brown website makes these documents easily available to scholars in Brazil and abroad."
The project began in 2013 with 10,000 documents, and has grown to more than 40,000 through efforts of undergraduate students. The project will use the $60,000 grant to continue to add to that figure, including 3,500 documents at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library in Austin and plans to include documents from Boston's John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Atlanta's Jimmy Carter Library, and Ann Arbor, Michigan's Gerald Ford Presidential Library.
"Amnesty Commission President Paulo Abrão visited Brown University in 2013 for a conference on human rights violations during the dictatorship and was incredibly impressed by our initiative," Green said. "He recommended the project to the United Nations Development Programme, which decided to fund the effort."

Childrens Party Catering Laverton North Vic
8 Insider Tips For Picking the Right Childrens Party Caterer In Laverton North
When it concerns the things that can make or break an event, couple of are as important as the quality, taste and look of the food and drinks you serve. A lot is riding on your decision which catering service to hire, and if you believe this decision actually isn't that important, look at it in this manner, fantastic catering can save an event that's on the rocks, but bad catering will usually send out guests to the doors.

When you are sampling the food, also address how it is presented, as any caterer who makes the effort to effectively show a sample will most likely be more likely to make that kind of effort on your event day.

Why? Because these catering services may not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more particular depending on restrictions of the location itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
A lot more conventional venues can likewise have restrictions that catering services should follow, like certain setup standards or disposal constraints for waste food and water, so having a catering service that recognizes with a location's rules can potentially save you great deals of inconvenience on event day.
# 5 Total Description Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract

Furthermore, it must secure you from non-performance as much as it secures the catering service from non-payment/default, so you might want to think about having a lawyer} look at it before you sign it.
Every detail must be included in the contract, consisted of chosen menus, variety of servings and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if applicable) and all rates and additional services.
No caterer in Laverton North with a shred of self-respect and scruples enters into an agreement with strategies to bail at the last minute, however you have to make sure there is a cancellation clause in your agreement simply in case your caterer has to cancel.
You don't want to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your event, so simply make sure cancellation procedures and charges remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 Recommendations You Can Call and Talk To
Naturally you will have to look into the catering services in Laverton North you are thinking about, and it's always great to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always reliable (and even authentic); for example, an excellent caterer may have had a few nightmare/hater clients who skew their scores, while a genuinely average caterer might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can locate some previous customers of the caterers you are thinking about and connect to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we spoke to called insurance protection "a provided" for caterers, and you definitely do not wish to lawfully be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 An Experienced Chef and Kitchen Staff
Surprisingly, how long a catering business in Laverton North has actually stayed in business may not be as crucial in selecting a terrific catering service as you might believe.
So make sure to ask about the chef's bona fides and CV due to the fact that he/she will most likely be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

At Telstra, the PMO Influence Starts at the Top
As Australia's largest telecom, Telstra needs to meet the expectations of its hyperconnected customers head-on. From mobile networks to home internet access to pay television, the company has invested heavily in projects to create new ways to deliver uninterrupted service and maintain its market advantage. But Telstra's project execution wasn't always so sharp. A capital project audit conducted by the company in 2012 revealed that nearly a third of Telstra's strategic project investments were not meeting goals.

Everything seemed to be running normally on the set of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Ellen herself sat comfortably in her signature red chair and linked effortlessly to a man located outside of the studio. So far, nothing very unusual was happening on the show – but then things took an altogether more surprising turn.
It's not uncommon, though, for an Ellen Show segment to veer into the unexpected. And perhaps that's just one reason why the daytime series is so widely watched. As of 2020, in fact, it ranks 12th on polling company YouGov's list of the "most popular contemporary TV shows in America."

Ok, I have remade my table to match what you have posted.I had to alter the tables in order to set up the foreign keys. Was that necessary? ALTER TABLE unit ENGINE=InnoDB; ALTER TABLE payment ENGINE=InnoDB; I was then able to set up the relationships. I set the payment_id a the primary_key and the unit_id as the foreign key in the payment table. The unit_id is the unit table should be the primary key set to auto_increment. Is this good?
for the unit table. I set the unit_id as the primary key and auto increment and for the payment set the unit_id as primary key auto increment?
I agree with you 100%. I have managed to create an html select that does display each unit from the database where the value of the select is the address table primary key. This is a home owners association and what I am trying to keep tack of is the HOA dues. Those dues pay the water, sewer, garbage, landscaping and electrical for the complex. There are 14 units. Each unit pays monthly. There is no good cheap software out there that does what I want so I was trying to make something myself but as you can tell, I don't know what I am doing. I made the database, inserted some records and have managed to display them in a table. The html form was at this point was just to get a working query that I could work off of and then make more correct with prepared statements at a later time. Once the basic structure was up and running. The update queries are not working. I can get it to tell me that the database has been updated but the new record doesn't actually show up. Maybe I should just scrap the project and go back to watching TV and playing games.
I only need one record per month per unit. each unit could actually make multiple payments per month though. My plan is to output each month into a table and each month the data in that table would reset to zero to show the new payments for each unit for the current month. Then the database would hold all payments made over time. I would like to query the database to show units that have not paid, how much they owe and when the last payment was made and what months are missing. You said it's unusual to join the primary key of one table to another. I guess I don't understand because that is how I thought it was done. What is the right way to do it as that is the way I would like it to be.
here are my two tables. you will see in the below in the amount table, there is one record that has a duesID of 5 which does correspond to the address table unitID of 5. This is the correct record to show for unit 4109. I am trying to get a query that will choose the unitID and put the proper record down below so that when I query the database, the correct record will show for the correct unit. Right now, I have a form with unit #, date, amount paid and notes. My thought was that I could put in the unit number and then have the query select the matching number from the unitID in the address table and then insert the record into the amount table with the matching duesID number so that when I want to select a single record, I could just choose the unit number which will match the unitID and that record will populate. mysql> select * from address; +--------+----------------+ | unitID | unit | +--------+----------------+ | 1 | 4101 | | 2 | 4103 | | 3 | 4105 | | 4 | 4107 | | 5 | 4109 | | 6 | 4111 | | 7 | 4113 | | 8 | 4115 | | 10 | 4119 | | 11 | 4121 | | 12 | 4123 | | 13 | 4125 | | 14 | 4127 | | 9 | 4117 | +--------+----------------+ mysql> select * from amount; +--------+------+------+------+---------------------+------------+---------------------+ | duesID | dues | late | paid | notes | date | autodate | +--------+------+------+------+---------------------+------------+---------------------+ | 5 | 210 | 0 | 1 | paid through paypal | 2018-12-04 | 2018-12-10 20:54:07 | +--------+------+------+------+---------------------+------------+---------------------+
Barand. I am trying to get your query working but I am having trouble. It is close though but I am getting an error at the last line. Here is what my database looks like table address unit ( varchar(20) ) unitID ( int, primary key, auto increment ) table amount autodate (timestamp) dues (int(6) ) late (varchar(1) ) paid (varchar(1) ) notes ( varchar(500) ) duesID ( int, primary key, auto increment ) Right now, I am just trying to get a test query in so that I can get a "scaffold" to work off of. so I thought the way this would work is that the query would check the unitID in the address table to see if it matches the "unit" number passed through the post variable from the html form. Benanamen said not to create useless variables, so I took them out and just used the post variables as suggested. So my html form has a text box for unit #, date, amount paid and notes Right now, I am just trying to get the unit # to match the primary key in the address table and then put the amount, and notes into the amount table. After I get that working, I will work off of that to get the rest of the fields to populate. I have 14 entries in the address table and 1 in the amount table. As the query is now, it's says I have an error in my sql syntax "WHERE ad.unitID = '10' The ten should match the primary key in the address table and put the record into the amount table to match. Here is what I have been trying with my query $sql = "UPDATE amount am INNER JOIN address ad ON ad.unitID = '{$unit}' SET dues = {$amount}, notes = '{$notes}', WHERE ad.unitID = {$unit}";
all of this is done on localhost. I would assume it's not as dangerous? I have updated the code to use the if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') How do you perform an update that doesn't have variables? are you saying that they are ok to pass if I use prepared statements but not just in an mysqli->query? I do remember reading that PHP_SELF was vulnerable attacks. What should I put there then? I don't want to separate my update function out of the db class. What is the best method for this? why can't you output internal system errors? how do I get my errors if I don't output them?
how to select two tables in update query
CyberShot posted a topic in MySQL HelpI created an htlm form using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] to update my database and I am calling the form like so <?php if( $_POST['update']){ $unit = $_POST['unit']; $date = $_POST['date']; $amount = $_POST['amount']; $notes = $_POST['notes']; $york->update($unit, $date, $amount, $notes); } ?> in my database class, I have created an update function public function update($unit, $date, $amount, $notes){ $conn = $this->link; $sql = "UPDATE amount SET dues = ' . $amount . ', notes = '. $notes .' WHERE duesID = '. $unit .'"; if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) { echo "Record updated successfully"; } else { echo "Error updating record: " . mysqli_error($conn); } } $this->link connects to the database in my __construct and there are no errors as far as that goes. When I hit the update button in the html form, the page reloads and there is a message saying "Record updated successfully" but when I check the database, there isn't any new record. Looking at it again, I have realized that the query is looking for duesID to match the $unit number which in this case should be 10 but the amount table doesn't have a record for that. so what I need is a query that will select the address table and amount table then update the amount table where the address table unitID = $unit which is passed through my html form. How do I do that? The Address table does have a 14 entries in it with just to columns. Unit and unitID. Is this where a join comes into play?
this is true that the error does give you the line number but it isn't true that the line it points out is always the problem. It could be 2 or 3 lines above the actual line pointed out. I have seen this before. That said, I do not have any formal programming schooling. I am trying to teach myself which is not as easy as it sounds. There are lots of tutorials out there but they are notorious for leaving out information. They do things but do not tell you why they did them. I just finally came to understand the use of "$this->" as of yesterday.
I see in my post that the braces are messed up. I just didn't copy the code correctly. They are not messed up in the class
fatal error: call to a member function
CyberShot posted a topic in PHP Coding HelpI am trying to create a class and I ran into a problem. The connect function is returning a fatal error on the line below and I can't figure out the issue. $result = $this->conn->query("SELECT unit FROM address"); class database { private $server = "localhost"; private $db_user = "my user"; private $db_pass = "my pass"; private $db_name = "my database"; private $conn; private $result = array(); function connect(){ // Create connection $this->conn = new mysqli($this->server, $this->db_user, $this->db_pass, $this->db_name); if ($this->conn->connect_error) { echo "Not connected, error: " . $mysqli_connection->connect_error; } else { //echo "Connected."; return $this->conn; } public function displayHeader(){ $result = $this->conn->query("SELECT unit FROM address"); if ($result->num_rows > 0) { // output data of each row while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { echo '<li>' . $row["unit"] . '</li>'; } } else { echo "0 results"; } $conn->close(); } } }
when I first get the information out of WordPress, it looks like this ( this is just a short bit of it ) $theID = get_post_meta(get_the_ID()); $string = $theID['panels_data']; var_dump($string); //gives me the below line string(748) "a:3:{s:7:"widgets";a:1:{i:0;a:3:{s:5:"title";s:4:"home"; When I pass the string to unserialize function, I get an error $string = unserialize($string); echo $string; "warning" unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in
That helps a little but my main problem still exists. I get my data and when I dump the variable, it says it's a string that looks like this a:3:{i:1;s:6:"elem 1";i:2;s:6:"elem 2";i:3;s:7:" elem 3" yet when I pass that variable into the unserialize function, I get an error. I thought this is what unserialize was for. it says unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in This is why I am confused.
unserialize trouble
CyberShot posted a topic in PHP Coding HelpI have what I think is a serialized information in my WordPress site.. Here is a partial chunk a:3:{s:7:"widgets";a:1:{i:0;a:3:{s:5:"title";s:4 I thought that if I use unserialize, it would put it into an array or something. I thought unserialize takes a string which according to the data type looks like what I would be passing after going through my foreach loop but when I try to unserialize it, it tells me i am trying to convert an array to a string. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. foreach ( $string as $option) { echo unserialize($option) ; }
is this the best way to access a multi array

Stepping Back to See The Whole Picture
Just as one cannot always see the forest for the trees, it is helpful to step back to gain a broader perspective when trying to solve a complex problem. When conversing with a friend, coworker or loved one, have you ever reached a point in the exchange when you realize that the other party has become inflexibly fixated on one negative aspect of a multi-layered situation? That person may be afflicted with a type of cognitive distortion called "filtering."
What is Filtering?
Filtering was first identified in the work of pioneering psychiatrist Dr. Aaron T. Beck and his then protégé Dr. David Burns in the early '70s. It is one of several types of negative thinking they called Cognitive Distortions which are considered irrational thought patterns that can result in certain mental disorders, chiefly depression and anxiety. In his best-selling book, Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, and its companion text, The Feeling Good Handbook, Dr. Burn's defined what he called "The Ten Forms of Twisted Thinking," the third of which was mental filtering. Dr. Burn's explains filtering thusly, "You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively, so that your vision of reality becomes darkened, like a drop of ink that discolors a beaker of water."
Filtering and Depression
As cognitive distortions tend to function as an unconscious and involuntary or automatic thinking, filtering can play a major part in continuing the effects of disorders like depression and anxiety by filtering or sifting out positive input while at the same time causing sufferers to fixate on negative information. For example, someone with a healthy thought process would handle well a job performance review that is largely positive with a few constructive criticisms, as it would indicate that the employee's hard work was appreciated and the company was invested in the employee's future success. Someone grappling with filtering-enhanced depression would zero in on the criticism while excluding everything else and might end up obsessed with the notion that they will be fired.
Breaking the Cycle
While developing their groundbreaking theories on cognitive behavioral therapy, Drs. Beck and Burn developed a treatment for filtering and other distortions called cognitive restructuring which has four steps:
- identifying one's dysfunctional automatic thoughts
- identifying the type of cognitive distortion that is being manifested in one's automatic thoughts
- understanding and accepting the mistaken beliefs inherent in one's negative thought process through Socratic questioning (a type of questioning which helps one become aware of underlying assumptions that may not be true), as well as thought recording and guided imagery
- the development of an argument against the irrational automatic thoughts showing where it may not be true or not always true, in effect working as a mental circuit breaker.
Over time, cognitive restructuring will disrupt the involuntary filtering and ideally, help to reduce the effects of depression and anxiety.
The First Step is the Hardest
It should be noted that no self-help book or practice should be regarded as a valid replacement for the kind of care that a qualified mental health professional can provide. If you, or you know someone who is showing signs of being suicidal, seek help immediately. However, if you have someone in your life that regularly struggles with the filtering out of positive input, they might benefit from some self-guided help in this area. Although depression is a difficult issue, the disorder is treatable and a big part of the recovery process is acknowledging how the illness affects one's daily life. As Dr. Burns wrote in the Feeling Good Handbook, "We can only feel healed and whole if we will allow ourselves to feel broken." Recognizing and admitting there is a problem is the first step.

Allergy shots, also known as subcutaneous immunotherapy, is the historical route of administration and consists of injections of allergen extract, which must be performed by a medical professional. Subcutaneous immunotherapy protocols generally involve weekly injections during a build-up phase, followed by monthly maintenance injections for a period of 3–5 years.
How allergy shots for immunotherapy are they taken?
They are given under the skin (often in the upper arm) usually at the doctor's office.
How often do patients take the allergy shots for immunotherapy?
One or more shots each time the patients go to the doctor's office: Once or twice a week for the first few months; Once or twice a month after that.
How long do the patients take the allergy shots for immunotherapy?
3 to 5 years (or sometimes longer).
Are the shots approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat allergies and asthma caused by allergies?
What are the possible side effects of allergy shots?
Common side effects of allergy shots include:
Itching, swelling, and redness at the place where the shot was given
Mucus dripping down your throat
Although efficacy of subcutaneous immunotherapy has been demonstrated by several studies, it entails the risk of systemic anaphylactic reactions Hence the necessity for it to be performed by clinicians trained in allergy.

Persons of Interest Sought
McGirr School Arson
Nanaimo RCMP are asking the public's assistance in identifying two males seen in the vicinity of a fire that caused over $50,000 dollars in damage.
On May 26 at 1:30 AM, Nanaimo Fire and Rescue attended to a report of a suspicious fire at McGirr Elementary, located at the intersection of Dover and McGirr Rd. The fire broke out in one of the classrooms and the resulting smoke and water damage caused the school to be closed for classes the next day while crews remodeled the effected class.
Investigators have obtained surveillance footage of two males seen at the rear of Dover High School at the time of the incident and are interested in identifying them. Dover High School is located beside McGirr and to the west of the school. The males shown in the attached photos were first seen at 1:15 AM and then again at 2:43 AM. They are described as follows:
Male # 1 approximately 16-18 years , dressed in black, shoulder length brown hair and carrying a black guitar case
Male # 2 approximately 16 -18 years, wearing light colored pants and a plaid jacket.
"We need to stress that these two persons are not considered suspects in any way and are only persons of interest. They may however have seen or heard something in relation to the fire that can assist our investigators in solving this crime" said Constable Gary O'Brien, media spokesperson for the Nanaimo RCMP.
If you know these people please contact the Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.You can also go online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com

Press release by Funds TV; 10/03/2016
New Site launches to demystify the Luxembourg Funds Industry to the world outside
FundsTV.net launched on Leap Day 2016, as the first open, online site for exploration of the industry's key themes, by key people in the industry. The philanthropic site aims to bridge the gap in education and innovation between the sector and the world outside, aiming to demystify Luxembourg's role as a top fund centre around the world. The brainchild of the European Director of Funds Partnership, Rana Hein-Hartmann was motivated to put the site together for the benefit of both the funds industry and the end-consumer, after reading many negatively presented views on private equity and asset management industry in general.
'I realised that there was a great disparity between the way the world sees asset management and the work we actually do, especially in Luxembourg, which is often misunderstood and misrepresented. In addition to Asset Management providing for people's pensions, there are many fantastic by-products of the industry; the active investment in our SMEs, the real estate in our capital cities managed by funds, private equity turn-arounds, not to mention a very large global employer. At a time where a pensions crisis looms in every nation, the need for education and inspiration is of paramount importance. Luxembourg's role as a safe and secure fund domicile is not purely tax driven and it is important people outside the business understand this.'
As FundsTV was established as a philanthropic project, it is free to provide content to the site, as the emphasis is on content rather than commercialisation of the project.

(PA) Casey's Bill to Support Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Becomes Law
In Pennsylvania, more than 100,000 children are being raised by grandparents or other relatives, and experts say this number is rising as the opioid epidemic devastates communities.
Senator Casey introduced the bill last year, with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME), after an Aging Committee hearing during which witnesses testified about why grandparents need easy access to information about available resources. Recently, Senator Casey hosted a series of roundtables with Pennsylvania grandparents to discuss how the bill will help them. "I am pleased that the Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act has become law. This law will provide grandparents in Pennsylvania, and across the nation, with easy access to helpful resources," said Senator Casey.
"These grandparents, some of which have stepped in to raise their grandchildren due to the opioid crisis, are faced with unique challenges such as delaying retirement, bridging the generational divide and working through the court system to secure custody.
I look forward to the Administration swiftly convening the advisory council created under this legislation so grandparents can access the supports they need."
The Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act directs the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to assemble an advisory council that will include the U.S.
Department of Education, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other federal agencies. The advisory council will identify and disseminate information to help grandparents raising grandchildren address the challenges they may face, such as navigating the school system, planning for their families' future, addressing mental health issues for themselves and their grandchildren and building social and support networks.
