Michael S. Krzak, Attorney at Law
Michael S. Krzak has tackled highly complex wrongful death, and catastrophic injury cases in Chicago and throughout the country for over 22 years. Throughout his 22 plus year legal career, Michael has developed an unwavering reputation for successfully representing death and injury victims in major aviation crashes, truck crashes, train derailments, automobile collisions and other transportation incidents. Michael is a well-recognized member of the legal community in Chicago and has also developed an excellent reputation nationally, having successfully represented victims of personal injury and wrongful death cases in recent years from: New York, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Florida to name a few. He has also successfully represented individuals from as far away as Turkey and Amsterdam who were catastrophically injured. Michael has regularly been appointed on steering committees and executive committees in complex litigation. He was a member of the steering committee in the Comair Flight 5191 crash in Lexington, Kentucky and in the Colgair Air Flight 3497 crash in Buffalo, New York. He represented a victim of the abuse of Dr. Nassar at Michigan State University and was a member of the Wave 2 Survivors Coalition who appointed him to the Executive Committee and as co-liaison counsel to Michigan State University. He has also been retained a local counsel for out of state firms relating to the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crash litigation relating to the Boeing 737 Max. Over the years, Michael has secured multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.
After practicing with a large Chicago firm for over 20 years and starting another firm, Michael is excited to have the opportunity to be part of this community and bring his experience and passion of helping injury victims to the Illinois Valley. Building on the foundation that this firm has established by serving the north central Illinois region, including the Illinois Valley over the past 40 plus years is something Michael takes seriously.
Equally important to Michael are the long-term relationships he has developed with his clients. He regularly communicates with his clients, making himself available day or night to be sure they are informed of developments in their case and to make sure he is continually aware of their progress and any developments in their lives or needs as their cases progress. This has led to him having long-lasting relationships and friendships with his clients even after their case is completed. Michael's philosophy is a simple one – personal service leads to better results.
Throughout his legal career, Michael has tackled several highly complex aviation crashes. His work has been instrumental in handling major commercial air crash cases and is covered in this article. He was heavily involved in the air crash involving Turkish Airlines Flight 3407 which crashed short of the runway at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport in 2009. There, he handled cases for 17 families who were victims of that air crash. He also handled the highly publicized air crash cases of Comair Flight 5191, which crashed while attempting to take-off of the wrong runway in Lexington, Kentucky, representing the interests of 5 families there. He was a member of the Plaintiff's Steering Committee relating to that crash and also a designated member of the Plaintiff's trial team. Michael also handled the air crash case involving Continental Connection Flight 3407 in Buffalo, New York, representing a number of families and was on the Plaintiff's Steering Committee.
Michael also represented the interests of a family who lost a loved one in the crash of an Execuflight aircraft in Akron, Ohio on November 11, 2015. He also represented the surviving heirs of two individuals who were on Malaysia Air Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8, 2014. He also represented the interests of numerous individuals injured on American Airlines Flight 383, which aborted take-off, caught fire and had to be evacuated at O'Hare Airport on October 28, 2016 when the aircraft's right engine suffered an uncontained disk failure. He was also involved in the cases of families who were victims of crashes of American Eagle Flight 4184, Alaska Air Flight 261, American Airlines Flight 587, TWA Flight 800, and the Southwest Airlines crash at Midway Airport in December, 2005. Michael has also been involved in numerous cases involving crashes of small aircraft and helicopters, including crashes at the OshKosh, Wisconsin Air Show and other crashes in remote areas.
Michael has been nationally recognized by his peers. At the age of 30, he was named among the Illinois "40 Attorneys Under 40 to Watch" by the Law Bulletin Publishing Company. He was later named to its inaugural 40 Under 40 Hall of Fame in 2014. He has been named a Leading Lawyer in Illinois in the area of aviation law and personal injury law from 2011-2019. He was also named a "top rated aviation and aerospace attorney" by Super Lawyers, an organization that prides itself on seeking out the best and brightest from peer reviews as well as the attorneys' results. Only 5% of attorneys in Illinois receive this distinction. He was recently included in the Best Lawyers in America publication. He has also been named a member of the Million Dollar Advocates and The National Trial Lawyers Top 100 Lawyers.
Michael has given back to the profession and community. He served as the Chair and Vice Chair of the Chicago Bar Association Law Committee in 2006-07 and again from 2011-12. He also served as the News Letter Editor for the American Association For Justice Aviation Section and received the Outstanding Section Newsletter Award in 2013. He served as Vice-Chair and Chair of the AAJ Aviation Section from 2015-2017. In 2018, he was appointed as the co-chair of the American Bar Association National Institute. He continues to hold that position. Michael has spoken around the world to numerous legal organizations, including: the American Bar Association; American Association for Justice; Chicago Bar Association; and Tennessee Trial Lawyers to name a few. He has also lectured and given presentations in cross-border personal injury seminars in London. Michael also co-authored the chapter on Aviation for the Fourth Edition of Business and Commercial Litigation in Federal Courts in 2017 and has continued to provide the annual updates.
Outside of work, Michael enjoys spending time with his family and friends and engaging in endurance sports. He is an avid cyclist and runner and has completed "Century" 100 mile rides, the Chicago Marathon, and a number of half marathons throughout the country. He is also an avid outdoorsman and enjoys fishing with his children, nephews and nieces, and his extended family.

Why Brands that Are Getting on Board With NFT's
Household name brands are jumping on the NFT bandwagon, and for good reason.
NFTs are digital assets transacted and recorded using blockchain, which ensures no asset can be counterfeited or duplicated. This is largely what has contributed to their popularity in the digital arena for everything from art to music and video games. With unique identification codes and metadata, NFT items are truly one-of-a-kind.
Undoubtedly, NFTs are also changing how brands view their marketing strategy and promote themselves on social media. DappRadar, a digital analytics company that tracks NFT data on various platforms, reports that the total market of volume generated by the NFTs in 2020 was $95 million, surging to $2.5 billion in the first half of 2021. That's quite the number!
One of the ways that businesses can use them is to deliver unique and exclusive brand experiences, or as a way to interact with customers and increase brand awareness. Moreover, brands can use NFTs to build new revenue streams by selling digital goods. Personalization has also been a key marketing trend in recent years, and NFTs offer a way to deliver unique personalization. After all, NFTs are always one-of-a-kind in themselves. Moreover, brands can elevate their loyalty programs with unique experiences tailored to those that own their company's NFTs.
Now that we've understood why NFTs are becoming so popular not only among artists but also among brands, let's take a look at a few case study examples of big companies doing awesome things with NFTs:
Stella Artois offers 50 NFT horses, ready to virtually race. Beer brand Stella Artois has launched a campaign by auctioning off fifty rare horses in conjunction with the summer racing schedule. This isn't just a static art sale, there's a digital race track, which offers a virtual game, and winners receive a sliver of ETH.
One of fifty (1 of 50) Limited Edition Series One Stella Artois NFT art pieces being auctioned on OpenSea
Coca-Cola sold a handful of unique digital NFT art to fans, including a cooler, a jacket, and a unique sound experience for $500k (217 $ETH) resulting in press, media, and of course, new revenues from digital assets. Visit the official website to learn more about the campaign, artists, and events.

Mattel offers NFT Hot Wheels. If you collected these cars, you know the community is rabid about owning, racing, and enjoying these collectibles. Mattel's campaign and offered three digital NFTs (only 1 quantity each) which sold for a handful of ETH each.

Visa has acquired a famed CryptoPunk for $150k, waking up the financial services markets to the possibilities. Visa will use this NFT in their digital museum as an artifact. While they didn't design and launch their own, this is notable as a leading financial services company.

Ray-Ban is auctioning off its first, and only, NFT featuring the brand's iconic Aviator sunglasses. The single NFT, created by German artists Oliver Latta, aka "Extraweg," will be auctioned on OpenSea, with all proceeds going to charity. The auction begins Oct. 27 and ends Oct. 29.
Credit: Ray Ban
Kellogg's-owned Pringles announced the release of a limited-edition flavor that it's calling CryptoCrisp during the height of NFT mania. There were 50 packages auctioned, but they only exist as NFT artwork. 10% of sales are going to the artist who created the NFT, H+ Creative.
Credit: Pringles
Asics "Sunrise Red" digital shoe collection includes limited-edition digital sneakers as well as a "Gold Edition" of unique items sold directly on the brand's site. Once more, the NFTs have a social slant to them: proceeds will fund the in-house digital artists who produced the artwork. NFTs are a great way for brands to bridge the physical and digital worlds. As Asics put it, the project "is a celebration of sport and a first step in building a future where digital goods inspire physical activity."
Credit: Asics
As NFTs continue to rocket in popularity, we should expect to see more brands getting involved. After all, NFTs offer an incredible opportunity for companies to engage with their consumers while demonstrating their pioneering vision and relevance.

Angelina Jolie's Lesbian Lover Exposed
by Stephanie on February 12, 2016 in Entertainment and Celebrity Gossip
Before Jolie settled down with Brad Pitt, she was with a wild woman! Angelina Jolie's wild child past was even more twisted than the world thought! Never-before-seen court documents that reveal the dark truth of her lesbian love lover Jenny Shimizu, one filled with threats, abuse and worse!
Jolie and Shimizu's ill-fated love affair began when they were filming the movie Foxfire, which was released in late 1996. At the time, records show, Shimizu was sharing apartments with long-time girlfriend Maria Luisa Mosquera in Los Angeles and New York. But as her relationship with Jolie heated up, so did tensions with Mosquera — and it ended in court!
Records on the case have long since been destroyed, but we can reveal that on November 8, 1996, Shimizu posted $20,000 bail for an incident that occurred the previous night, resulting in charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
The full complaint was filed on December 4, 1996, and on December 9, Shimizu posted an $80,000 bail for charges of criminal threats and assault with a firearm.
By February 7, 1997, she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of a weapon with intent to assault and felony inflicting visible injury on a cohabitant or spouse, with remaining counts of felony assault with a firearm and making a terrorist threat to be disposed on completion of a probation. The details of the incident are not clear, but she was subsequently ordered by a judge to stay away from girlfriend Mosquera. Mosquera did not respond to requests for comment.
Shimizu was also ordered to pay a $200 fine, complete one year of domestic violence counseling, 200 hours of community service and sentenced to three years of probation. She served one day in jail.
Her legal troubles, however, were only beginning. On June 27, 1997, the judge admonished Shimizu for showing up late to her probation hearing and urged to bring proof of her enrollment in a domestic violence counseling to the next hearing.
But by October 17, 1997, she failed to appear yet again, and a bench warrant was issued for her arrest.
Then on Feb 6, 1998, she failed to report to her probation officer, resulting in probation being revoked and a warrant issued. Shimizu was technically on the run for four years until 2002, when she was nabbed by the sheriff and put in lockup overnight without bail on February 25, 2002.
The next day, she was allowed to go, but told to report to probation officer within 48 hours.
On April 4, 2002, she admitted to skipping out on probation for all those years, and told to complete 30 days in jail or 30 days Caltrans graffiti removal, plus pay $30/month restitution.
By December 11, 2002, she proved she had completed 218 hours of community service and domestic violence counseling.
And on March 29, 2004, a judge ruled that Shimizu had "appeared to have complied with all terms and conditions of probation." The court ordered probation terminated and her remaining charges were dismissed.
After years of hooking up with Jolie on and off, Shimizu married stylist Michelle Harper in September 2014, weeks after Jolie's marriage to Pitt.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey the Best in the Series?
Best in the trilogy .
I mean it has a great story in my point of view , i loved the other 2 . They were awesome as well ,although they didn't have the crafting option like this one. I mean Origins had quite the craftsmenship but not like this one . also the game offers more puzzles and collectibles ,more side missions , and a most important thing that you want in a game is an adventure .The graphics are more sharp and lighting was beautiful.
Optimization for low rig PC is bad ,you have to play on the lowest ,otherwise it lags . blood effects were bad ,waaayyyyybad ,when arrows or bullets or melee kills were happening the effect was like free MP games .
The controls feel like a huge backwards step from AC: Origins I can't count how many times I died because of some sluggish controls, especially when climbing and jumping to a different wall/ledge/whatever. Also, it's buggy at the moment. I found the story quite interesting and if you take your time and take a look at the world, it isn't really too short (at least playtime wise). The game has some great ideas (merchants, stealth options, etc) but fails in my opinion to properly use them. What I really liked was the depth of the difficulty levels. I can adjust it to my liking, without having to compromise.

Sarasota Condos
You are here: Home / Siesta Key Condos / Tivoli by the Sea
Tivoli by the Sea
Those who are interested in purchasing a property in Siesta Key should try to do so now while prices of most Siesta Key condos for sale are still down. Aside from the prestige of owning a vacation home in one of the country's popular tourist destinations, there are practical aspects which come with investing in Siesta Key real estate.
With the innate beauty of this barrier island, it is extremely difficult for Siesta Key to disappoint its visitors. Generally, most vacationers head to this tropical paradise to see its beaches. Although there are three beaches in Siesta Key, the most popular is Siesta Key Public Beach. Now hailed as the top beach in the entire country by Dr. Beach, Siesta Key Public Beach's sand is composed of almost pure quartz. In fact, visitors swear that walking on the beach's shores is just like walking on fine sugar.
But aside from having the ability head to the island on a moment's notice without having to worry about accommodations, there is a second benefit to owning a condo unit in Siesta Key. Unit owners can choose to sell their units when the prices start to rise back up, allowing them to earn a nifty profit in the end. Or if they wish to hang on to the unit but still earn a little on the side, unit owners can always choose to rent out their residences.
Among the communities in Siesta Key which has the most liberal rental policies is Tivoli by the Sea. Built in 1975, there are a total of 35 units in this residential development. A gulf front property, Tivoli by the Sea is just across the street from the beach. And because the community is situated along Beach Road, one of the island's main thoroughfares, accessibility should not be a problem.
Listings for Tivoli by the Sea condos for sale can be rather rare. If one is lucky, it is possible to find just one listing of a unit for sale. This multi-story tower typically has units which measure 1,144 square feet, and are designed to have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and one-car carport. A unit of that size and floor plan may be priced at around $650,000. The community's one-week rental minimum gives Tivoli by the Sea excellent rental potential.
There are a number of amenities that Tivoli by the Sea offers its residents. To start off, the community has its own heated swimming pool and sauna as well as a recreation room which is perfect for mingling with the rest of the unit owners. Tivoli by the Sea also has a tennis court, private parking and in-house laundry. Across the street from the residential development is the famed Siesta Key Public Beach.

This was just a fun little project for tracking stars on one of our GH projects. It was originally written with angular but
for educational purposes it's now rewritten with [React](https://github.com/facebook/react).

# Setup
1. `bower install`
2. Edit `config.js` to fit your needs.

You may add a github access token to avoid API throttling via IP. It's **not required**, but you can run into the limitation.
You can create a personal access token [here](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new). Just paste it into the config.

Note: By default stargazer uses the compiled react files, but in index.html you can uncomment the development files if you wish.

Q: scope of variables in javascript - if a variable is declared before a for loop, shouldn't its value be accessible after the for loop? I am declaring some variables in a function and their values get updated within the for loop. At the end of the function I want to see the final values of some of these variables.
After spending a whole day on why what I want is not happening, I am posting the function here to get some insight.
In the function you can see two alerts - the first runs with each iteration of the for and gives me the current values of the variables. I do not want this alert but have inserted it here just to show that the code does actually do what I want it to do within the for loop.
What I want is only the last alert.... BUT for some reason it never appears!
As I understand it, if a variable has been declared at the beginning of a function, its value can be accessed right up till the end... If this is correct, why does the last alert not appear?
NOTE: This code is being run on a MsWord generated html, which contains innumerable unnecessary span tags that I need to remove before I can use the contents for documentation purposes. Not being able to get these values is what is preventing me from finalizing a small tool I plan to use to convert about 400 MsWord pages for a project!
function uponetag()
{
    var spank=document.getElementsByTagName('span'); //look at all span tags
    var spann=spank.length; //number of span tags on the page
    var yes=0;
    var no=0;

    for (i=0; i<=spann; i++)
        {

            var spancont=spank[i].innerHTML;
            //get the parent node
            var outer = spank[i].parentNode;
            outertag=outer.tagName.toLowerCase();

            //get the inner html of the parent node
            var outercont=outer.innerHTML;
            //create a string manually placing the opening and closing span tags around the current span content
            var compareit=("<span>"+spancont+"</span>");

            //compare the manual string to inner content of the parent node
            if (outercont===compareit)
            {

                //replace the inner html of the parent node with the current span content
                outer.innerHTML=spancont;
                yes=yes+1;
            }

            else
            {
                no=no+1;
            }
            alert ("Converted = "+yes+"\n\n Not converted = "+no); //this alert works
        }
    alert ("The page originally had "+spann+" span tags. \n ON EXIT: Converted = "+yes+"\n\n Not converted = "+no);
    //THIS ALERT DOESN'T!!! WHY?????
}

I have tried all the changes (i=spannum, var1=.... etc) suggested here without any success! In fact, while doing this, I found that though there are 49 spans in the original page, the script throws the error in the firebug console after 29 runs (20 yeses and 9 nos).

A: The code read beyond the length of the array, causing an error.
That's why the loop alerts fire but the final alert outside the loop does not fire.
This loop
for (i=0; i<=spann; i++)
includes i=spann, which is 1 beyond the end.
I think you meant to use
for(i=0;i<spann;i++)
which is correct.
I should also note that Javascript does not have block-level variables.  It has function-scoped variables.  Declaring a var in a for loop block is the same as declaring the var at the initialization of the current function (called hoisting) and setting it in the loop.

A: for (i=0; i<=spann; i++)
//change it to :
for (i=0; i<spann; i++)

The Kenny Nickelson Memorial Foundation for Homeless Veterans no longer exists (May 25, 1992 to December 31, 2014). This site is being transitioned to an historical Web site dedicated to U.S. Veterans and our U.S. Military and to all KNMF donors, board members, volunteers, and colleagues who supported KNMF from 1991 through 2014.
In 1991 when KNMF was established, more than 236,000 Angelinos had no place to call home!
By the end of 2012, KNMF served 2,074 formerly homeless veterans in veteran continuum of care programs and homeless veterans recruited into these programs bringing the total served homeless veterans, formerly homeless veterans in veteran continuum of care programs, needy children, and other homeless and needy men and women to 108,707. Los Angeles has continued to lead the nation to reduce homelessness of veterans and in 2012 had the largest decrease of 6.8% of all the homeless veterans in the country according to the 2012 HUD Point in Time Report (U.S. Census). The U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs assessment of the 2012 HUD PIT report showed that homeless veterans in LA decreased by 22% from 8,131 to 6,371 in 2012 the largest decline than any other city in the nation. Chronically homeless veterans continue to be the target of focus by the continuum of care programs and domiciliary care programs to eliminate homelessness of veterans. Accordingly, KNMF will continue to focus on the needs of formerly homeless veterans in veteran continuum of care programs and their efforts to continue to enroll entry level homeless veterans into their programs keeping the numbers of homeless veterans on the streets down.
Today, according to the 2012 HUD Point in Time Report, 42,353 persons are homeless on the streets of Los Angeles on any given night. Los Angeles had the largest decrease in homelessness nationwide from 2011 to 2012, the decline was -6.8%. Los Angeles hosts 10% or 6,371 of the nation's homeless veteran population on any given night. These individuals represent all races, national origins, colors, religions, disabilities, and ages.
*See the LAHSA 2009 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count Report. The 2012 HUD PIT shows that the LA County homeless population is 42,353, a decline of 7% since 2009 LAHSA census.
Los Angeles is the home of 10% of the Nations Homeless Veteran population and 7% of the Nation's Sheltered Veterans on Any Given Night.
Since 1991, the largest number of homeless veterans in the country have resided in Los Angeles. In 1991, homeless veterans represented about 54% of the homeless population. In 2009 they represented 15% of the homeless population according to the LAHSA report and in 2012 they represent 10% according to the 2012 HUD PIT report. The 2012 HUD PIT report showed 42,353 homeless persons in Los Angeles and 6,371 veterans unsheltered or 10% on the night of the 2012 point-in-time census. This means that Los Angeles homeless service providers have been able to continue to extract those veterans from the homeless community and provide them with opportunities that have kept them off the streets.
U.S. homeless veterans have served in World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), Operation Iraqi Freedom, or the military's anti-drug cultivation efforts in South America. The National Coalition for Homeless Veterans and US Department of Veterans Affairs estimate that 47 percent of homeless veterans served during the Vietnam Era and more than 67 percent served our country for at least three years and 33 percent were stationed in a war zone.
Minorities represent the majority of all homeless persons - 47% Black, 29% Hispanic, 21% White, 2% Native American, and 1% Asian-Pacific. An example of a veteran only count at a KNMF Veterans Day event revealed a Race/National Origin veteran participant count of 57% Black, 24% Hispanic, 9% White, and 4% Asian-Pacific, 1% Native American.
*The LAHSA 2009 Greater Los Angeles Homeless Count Report. The 2012 HUD PIT shows that the LA County homeless population is 42,353, a decline of 7% since 2009 LAHSA census.
Veterans lack essential basics, including; food, clothing, shoes, hygiene supplies, linens, medical and dental attention, assistance with entitlement benefits while in recovery programs, legal assistance, continuum of care housing with case management programs, training for career ladder jobs, and employment, and for disabled and senior veterans domiciliary care long-term housing.
The Kenny Nickelson Memorial Foundation for Homeless Veterans and Children, Inc. (KNMF) was chartered in 1991 to aid the homeless in Los Angeles, South Bay, and Harbor Cities in an effort to continue Kenny Nickelson's vital work. Prior to his death at the age of 23, Kenny devoted his life to helping those living on the streets.
Since 1991, KNMF has assisted more than 108,707 individuals through services and personal care items.
In 1991, veterans represented 54% of the homeless population. Today, in Los Angeles veterans represent 10% of the homeless population according to the LAHSA report. This means that KNMF and our partner homeless service providers have been able to continue to extract those veterans from the homeless community and provide them with opportunities that have kept them off the streets.


The outlook for Kildorrery in the week ahead shows the average daytime maximum temperature will be around 13°C, with a high for the week of 17°C expected on the afternoon of Wednesday 1st. The mean minimum temperature will be 6°C, dipping to its lowest on the morning of Sunday 28th at 3°C. The coming week will have mixed overhead conditions with some days dry and some seeing a significant amount of rain. The indicators are that Friday 28th will have the most precipitation with an accumulation of around 7.0mm. On the whole winds are likely to be moderate.

IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG
"Drug and Alcohol Fueled Loser"
Content: -3 Excessive content and/or worldview problems.
IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a sad comedy about a European dancehall DJ who goes deaf, thereby losing his ability to do the only thing he loves and the only thing he's good at. Frankie Wilde is an English-born DJ who finds success in the party hotspot of Ibiza, Spain. His popular status in the club scene allows him a luxury house, a beautiful (if dim) wife, and a life of leisure. At his height, Frankie's hearing ability begins to go. Frankie pretends like he can hear fine but doesn't fool anyone, and soon his wife leaves him, and he has nothing to turn to but drugs and alcohol. He nearly kills himself, but realizes that his life can continue, even without hearing.
Most of the characters in IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG are addicted to drugs and alcohol and live aimless lives. Frankie's marriage is especially depressing since his wife constantly cheats on him. The movie has the feel of a music documentary, which drains away energy and momentum from the story. Overall, PETE TONG has very little positive qualities to offer and a lot of extremely negative ones.
(HHH, C, LLL, V, SSS, N, AAA, DDD, MM) Very strong, godless humanist worldview, but there is a redemptive element in which man stops his bad habits, embraces life and works to help others; 117 obscenities, most of them 'f' words, and five profanities; man has vision in which he beats and kills a monster; sex depicted without nudity, husband and wife lead openly promiscuous lives and both of them make out with other people in one scene, plus sex references, and man kisses multiple women at once; brief upper female and male nudity on beach; extreme alcohol abuse; extreme cocaine abuse and smoking; and, man nearly commits suicide but aborts it, husband and wife are promiscuous inside marriage, and characters are intensely selfish.
IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG is a sad comedy about a European dancehall DJ who goes deaf, thereby losing his ability to do the only thing he loves and the only thing he's good at doing.
Frankie Wilde is an English-born DJ who finds success in the party hotspot of Ibiza, Spain. His popular status in the club scene allows him a luxury house, a beautiful (if dim) wife, and a life of leisure. His life is fast paced and drug fueled. As he begins to produce records and continues working at clubs, Frankie's hearing ability worsens. He gets nervous but thinks he can fake it. He even attempts one DJ gig without most of his hearing, selecting records purely by impulse and memory.
Unsurprisingly, Frankie doesn't fool anyone, and soon he loses his reputation as a DJ. His shallow wife leaves him, his hearing goes completely, and he has nothing to turn to but drugs and alcohol. Frankie locks barricades himself in his house for almost a year, relying on delivery men for food, spending the whole time in a stupor. He emerges to kill himself, but just before completing the deed, he has an epiphany. He realizes that his life can continue, even without hearing.
Frankie solicits someone to teach him sign language and lip reading. To complete the picture, he falls in love with his teacher. Together, they have a child and, essentially, live happily ever after.
Most of the characters in IT'S ALL GONE PETE TONG are addicted to drugs and alcohol and live aimless lives that center on pleasure. Frankie's marriage is especially depressing since his wife constantly cheats on him, and in one scene, Frankie and his wife make out with other people in front of each other.
The movie has the feel of a music documentary, which drains away energy and momentum from the story. Overall, PETE TONG has very little positive qualities to offer and a lot of extremely negative ones. The movie's redemptive elements prove, however, that a godless, humanist worldview is unbearable. Despite all the tragedy life often has to offer, even a humanist needs to have faith in something, even a humanist can't overlook the beautiful things and positive moral values that God has provided for us in His universe.

Roblox is gaming's quiet giant — and it's only getting bigger
Jeff Grubb@jeffgrubb
One of the original creations in Roblox.
Image Credit: Roblox
We all know that League of Legends is huge and that all the kids are playing Minecraft, but another hit has built up a mammoth audience without drawing a lot of attention from outside its dedicated fan base.
At its peak, Roblox has had 161,200 concurrent players all logged in at the same time. That's more than the all-time peak for zombie co-op shooter Left 4 Dead 2 (161,000), and it's just behind shooter Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (170,000). What's amazing is that Roblox, which is a free-to-play game where anyone can create games in a Lego-like world, is still growing quarter after quarter despite that it debuted in 2005. The Roblox development team released a blog today that compares its success to some of the biggest hits on Valve's Steam digital distribution network, and it reveals Roblox's amazing staying power.
"Roblox is just fun. That's what keeps people playing," Roblox chief executive Dave Baszucki told GamesBeat. "The typical player spends more than 15 hours a week with us. [That's compared to] only 3 hours per week watching TV, according to surveys we've conducted."
Roblox primarily attracts younger players between the ages of 8 and 18. But it has older players, too: Once they get started, they aren't really letting go. That's potentially because a Roblox member might start out as a player, but as they get more sophisticated, they can switch over to creating games for others.
"Since Roblox isn't just about designing and coding and playing games — but is also a creative and social outlet for our builders and players — our community happily spends a lot of time here," said Baszucki.
Roblox players spend 60 million hours per month in the game. While the hugely popular multiplayer online battler Dota 2 eclipses that with 330.6 million, Roblox is right behind Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's 61.4 million. It is also almost double Team Fortress 2's 35 million.
Above: The hours that players spend in some of top games on Steam.
The young age of the audience enables Roblox to spread when friends start talking about it while in class or hanging out.
"Word of mouth is our biggest business driver," said Baszucki. "Friends telling friends, social media, and videos all contribute to this. Our Twitch channel is one of the fastest growing channels they've ever had, and we trended top 10 across the US and Canada on Twitter during our online fan convention on YouTube last September."
That huge audience that can't peel their eyes away from Roblox enables the company to generate revenue from selling preroll video ads before games start. The developer has also released an iOS app to give its fans a way to stay engaged while on the go.
More than anything, however, Roblox knows how important its community creators are. The fact that the game always has new content is likely one of the reasons fans keep coming back. To encourage that, Roblox recently started its Developer Exchange program that rewards creators of popular games with cash.
"Since our introduction of DevEx, several people have already made more than $10,000," said Baszucki. "And we're getting a lot of attention from people who want to create games on our platform."

How long is the tip in contact with the cue ball?
most contact times (i.e., for most tips and most speeds) are in the millisecond range (about 0.001-0.002 sec).
a soft tip at slow speed has a longer contact time (about 0.002-0.003 sec), but still extremely small.
a very hard tip (e.g., phenolic) at fast speed has a shorter contact time (about 0.0008 sec).
the contact time increases for slower speeds and decreases slightly for faster speeds, but not by much (still in the millisecond range).
chalk does not stay on tips (especially hard tips) very well at impact (see the blue clouds that separate from the tips in the videos).
Some people think that what they do with their grip hand or follow through can change the tip contact time, but this is not the case (i.e., it is not possible to get a significant effect). Also, some people think a softer tip, which has a slightly longer contact time, can create more CB "reaction." This is not the case. The peak force isn't as large with a longer contact time (i.e., the force is spread out over a longer time). Therefore, the "hit" might "feel" slightly different to the player. However, the momentum effects (cue and ball speed changes) will still be the same, assuming the tips being compared have the same efficiency. Another thing that might be different is that a shorter contact time is usually associated with a harder tip, and a harder tip might have better efficiency, so the CB might have slightly more speed (with a given stroke) with a harder tip for a given cue mass and speed. And with more speed, less spin will be lost on the way to the OB or cushion, giving the impression that the hit created more spin.
With an increase in tip contact time, the effective tip offset will be slightly greater (because the tip will rotate out with the CB during contact), but this will also result in more squirt, which will diminish the effectiveness of the slightly larger tip offset. For more info, see cue tip hardness effects and getting more spin with an LD shaft.
Over what distance is the cue tip in contact with the cue ball on a typical shot?
The contact distance is much smaller than most people think. For example, with a break shot with a very hard tip, a typical contact distance (per TP B.20) is only about 1/10 inch (3 mm). With softer tips, the contact time and distance is longer. With slower speed shots, the contact distance is shorter.
Probably the most common myth about this is that tip/ball contact time can be extended (and/or spin action can be increased) by "accelerating through" the cue ball. Accelerating smoothly throughout your stroke and followthrough is a good practice (makes it more likely you'll hit the cue ball the way you intend to), but it doesn't change tip/ball interaction.


What are the challenges facing online freedom, transparency and security? On Friday, 17 April 2015, Open State Foundation teams up with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands to run an unconference, GCCS-Unplugged. The challenges for an open and free internet are tackled in an innovative way. Hackers, diplomats, civil society, representatives of the private sector, startups and academics collaborate on practical solutions and build new networks. In this unconference, participants take matters into their own hands and decide their own agenda. GCCS-Unplugged takes place parallel to the Global Conference on CyberSpace (GCCS) in The Hague as many international participants will join GCCS-Unplugged.
This full day event called "GCCS-Unplugged" is an edition of Diplohack where participants hack real world problems surrounding online freedom, digital transparency and cyber security. GCCS-Unplugged brings together creative users who experience the need for an open and free internet on a daily basis. They decide the agenda, suggest what topics will be discussed and convene sessions. They will develop solutions, share experiences and collaborate on furthering the goal of an open, safe and free internet.
A number of partners will pose challenges beforehand. WebWeWant will host a session on how to make and keep the web open for everyone. UNESCO wonders how to protect digital safety of journalists. In a Privacy Café participants will work with the best forms of digital self-defense while during Diplohack sessions developers and diplomats will hack real world problems. Most of the day's sessions, however, will be decided by the participants themselves.
GCCS-Unplugged is an official side-event to the Global Conference on CyberSpace. It will take place on Friday 17 April, 2015, from 9am to 7pm at the Worldhotel Bel Air in The Hague, The Netherlands, walking distance from GCCS2015, allowing participants of the GCCS to mingle with NGO's, civic tech developers, diplomats, students, businesses, academics and civil society.

Today computers affect every part of our lives. We use them in our homes, they run parts in our cars and we couldn't operate in the workplace without them. Business software has been developed specifically for all industries and makes business functions so much easier. Undeniably computers have improved business.
With the development of new computer technology new jobs have been created. As well as people employed to develop this technology there have also been jobs created to manage these programs. Many companies have a whole department dedicated to Information Technology. The flow on effect of the development of computers has created many jobs, including creating jobs for teachers who have to train people to use the systems.
Communication has improved between businesses, between businesses and clients, and also suppliers. An email can be sent and received instantly, and important documents that would have been posted or couriered can now be attached to an email. Businesses can also communicate instantly with other parties overseas, therefore they can expand the reach of their business much further than just their local area. Customers are able to reach companies a lot easier as well which helps improve customer relations. Call centres are computerised making it faster for customers to solve any problems and often it is easier to get the required information off the company website.
A business can operate more efficiently with the help of computers. Computers can store all their business data and customer information, manage inventory and sales records, and all information stored is easy to retrieve. Computers also reduce the amount of space a business needs to store their files. Business and financial records need to be kept and the old system was filing these hard copy documents in rows of filing cabinets, which took up an enormous amount of space. Hard copies are still kept but a lot of information can be stored on computer alone. A business' accounting procedures are also handled using computers and it has greatly simplified the process. Accountants are able to keep much better records and with financial software programs the task is easier and faster.
Businesses are able to advertise online by having their own website and using other methods such as social networking. This type of advertising can reach a much wider audience. Customers can also purchase goods online, which is great for businesses as they can expand their clientele to reach an international market. Computers have made shopping so much easier, particularly for those who have trouble getting out of the house, or those who live in remote areas. With online shopping customers can access brands that come from all over the world, and then the goods are delivered to their door.
The production process of many businesses has improved with the use of computers. Automated production methods have sped up the manufacturing process and items can be produced on a much larger scale.

On the surface, Sorceress is a bright, relatively sunny affair, especially compared to Opeth's past, even their more melodic recent work. Look a little further and you hear the menace and malice. This is a dark, deep album, and it doesn't truly unfold unless you can pay full attention. I'd expect no less from Opeth.
My introduction to Opeth was 2001's masterpiece Blackwater Park. I picked it up used at a local record store years after it was released, because I liked the album art. It was my first death metal album, and even though it was a little too intense for me at the time, I returned to it over and over. The melodic passages were enhanced by the sheer rage of the metal segment, and the ever-present prog influence that has been a staple of Opeth's sound since their inception drew me into the lengthy instrumental sequences by keeping me guessing. It is, to this day, one of the best albums of its genre.
Listening to Opeth's newest release, Sorceress, it would be nearly impossible to recognize this as the same band. Frontman and songwriter Mikael Akerfeldt has transitioned away from screaming entirely, and the musical passages have continued to mellow. The prog element has risen to front and center, to the point where Sorceress feels more like an opera by Rachmaninoff or Vivaldi than a collection of individual songs. Akerfeldt once again shows his prowess, however, and creates both a cohesive, flowing work made of many parts, and for the most part, interesting, attention-grabbing songs.
Instrumental intro "Persephone" is a gorgeous classical acoustic piece. It has a very cinematic quality, sounding like the somber music playing as the camera pans over a quiet Spanish hamlet in an art film. The title track follows, and dives right into a downright funky bassline that rolls through the entire song. Musically, Akerfeldt's debt to classic 70s prog shows through clearly; this could easily be an ELP or Yes song, if they decided to get spooky. The verses are thick and menacing and the chorus hook hinges on a whammy dive straight out of the Zakk Wylde playbook, and although nothing here ever gets heavier than you might expect on a Ghost record, it manages to sound just as dark as their metal side. The outro even sounds like it's the start of a signature longform Opeth instrumental, but transitions relatively quick (in Opeth terms, this is still over a minute) into "The Wilde Flowers" instead. This one has an even stronger Ghost sound, with some fun Hammond organ buried in the background for texture. The riff manages to stomp and groove simultaneously, with a very vaguely middle eastern flavor. The chorus doesn't do much, as it actually scales back all the elements that make the song work, although the Sabbath-meets-Deep Purple solo in the middle of the song shines, as does the clean, melodic final act of the song, and they wisely end with one more freakout after the song begins to drift. "Will O The Wisp" opens with a bright, jangly guitar line that has elements of Irish folk, and somehow it works. The minimal introduction is quite possible the strongest moment on the entire album, in fact. By the end of its five minutes it's grown into a Jethro Tull-esque dark lullaby, but truly sounds best scaled back to just an acoustic guitar.
"Chrysalis" is the most energetic song on the album, dripping with front-and-center Hammond and a galloping classic rock riff. The only problem with the song is it feels utterly derivative. It sounds so much like a classic rock song that were the production a little muddier, it could easily pass for a lost Deep Purple track. On the plus side, had this song been released during the 70s, it would have easily held its own against the defining tracks of the era. "Sorceress 2" drops back to just an acoustic guitar and a restrained orchestra of strings and what sounds like a flute. Akerfeldt filters his vocals through a mix of autotune and reverb that grants him an ethereal, almost angelic quality. The guitar line also deserves special mention. It has to carry the entire song and does with ease, despite never containing a riff of any kind. "The Seventh Sojourn" is an instrumental passage, and while it sounds very pleasing to the ear, it also feels very out of place. It sounds stock background music that plays in the background of any given movie that features a scene in a Moroccan or Egyptian marketplace. It doesn't have anything to distinguish itself, and saps the momentum of the album.
Perhaps the best way to describe Sorceress is to direct you to the album art. On first glance you see a peacock spreading its tail fan, a glorious display of color and beauty. It's only when you look closer that you see this magnificent bird is glaring as if possessed, and rests on a pile of gore and bones that it is hungrily picking at. On the surface, Sorceress is a bright, relatively sunny affair, especially compared to Opeth's past, even their more melodic recent work. Look a little further and you hear the menace and malice. This is a dark, deep album, and it doesn't truly unfold unless you can pay full attention. I'd expect no less from Opeth.

Philip Federico October 9, 2020 No Comments
A new trailer about the lore of the game is revealed
Moscow, Russia, October 7, 2020 – GameNet revealed a new trailer, dedicated to the amazing story of gloomy metroidvania "The Guise" world. Watch the video to learn how the orphan Ogden was trapped in the body of a monster.
In addition, as part of Steam Festival, a special Q&A session will be hosted by game developer Rasul Mono, creator of the Ultra Goodness series on October 9, 2020 from 12:00 to 21:00 Moscow time in Discord.
A free demo version is now available on Steam, providing you with 29 amazing levels of the game – about 1 hour of exciting gameplay.
For more information, visit The Guise Steam page and add the game to your wishlist.
About The Guise
You play as Ogden, an orphan whose curiosity got the better of him. After disobeying the headmistress of his orphanage and sneaking into a locked room, he gave in to temptation and tried on a cursed mask that transformed him into a monster. You will have to get used to this new body, master monstrous abilities, and try not to lose the last remnants of your humanity. You have the advantages of bestial agility, monstrous strength, and inhuman capabilities. But watch out — in this hostile world, almost everything is out to get you.
EXPLORE A TWISTED FAIRY TALE
The world of The Guise is filled with terrifying locations, including dying villages, dark forests, labyrinthine dungeons, and deadly valleys swarming with demons. Find secrets, hidden passageways, and concealed rooms containing treasures that shed new light on Ogden's world.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR NEW FORM
The main gameplay hook is your persistent monstrous form. As a human, you could have fought with a sword or any other weapon, but now you have only your newfound feral abilities to rely on.
Unlock new monstrous abilities by defeating bosses and absorbing their skills. Every time you vanquish an ordinary foe, you collect their eyeballs — local currency that can be spent to upgrade your abilities with the Eye Collector.
SEEK THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
The macabre world of The Guise may be harsh and unjust, but there are still a few people you can count on – for example, children whose eyes remain unsullied, whose perception of the world has yet to be touched by the darkness. Or the Eye Collector, who keenly senses the pain and despair of this boy trapped in the body of a monster.

Tori Amos has always been a mysterious artist, but keeping quiet about her pregnancy is among her greatest tricks. Yesterday, the flame-haired singer and her recording engineer husband Mark Hawley (who mixed her last album) gave birth to a seven-pound, as-yet-unnamed baby girl.
According to Amos' label, Atlantic Records, which didn't know the musician was even pregnant, the baby and first-time parents are doing well. The label relayed that upon nursing her daughter for the first time, Amos noted with her characteristic aplomb, "An ounce of breast milk is even more potent than the finest tequila."


CHIANG RAI (Reuters) - U.S. forces and British divers have arrived in Thailand to help in the search for 12 schoolboys and their soccer coach believed trapped by floodwaters in a cave, as rescuers prepared to drill a shaft into the cave on the fifth day of the search.
"We will drill down from one of the chimneys," Buncha told reporters on Thursday.
"The expert divers went straight from the plane into the cave to make an assessment," he said, referring to the three British divers who landed in Thailand on Wednesday.
"The United States Pacific Command (USPACOM) has sent 30 staff with equipment to help penetrate the cave walls," Prawit told reporters.
Search efforts, which have included Thailand's elite navy SEAL unit, have been hampered by heavy rain and flooding inside the cave where the boys, aged between 11 and 16, and their 25-year-old assistant coach went missing on Saturday.
So far, rescue teams have been focusing on a seven kms (four mile) long route to the left of the cave's entrance which they believe the boys and their coach took.
Authorities say they're optimistic the boys are still alive, but the toll of five days of no news was visible on the faces of the boys' relatives.
"Observe your breath in this place of love. Love between mother, father and child," the monk told anxious relatives.

Q: jQuery event triggered on database table change/update/delete I have a PHP page with a table that pulls data out of a MySQL database. The database is used by many users, via updates/edit or delete actions so it will be hard for the users using the table from the page mentioned to use it
For now, the users have to refresh the page to see if changes have been made, but refreshing the page will load the all application and not only the table. I could refresh the table at specific interval, but I am trying to make a responsive refresh. The goal is to refresh it only when the table from the database has been modified.
So I am using the jQuery setinterval and ajax to test if a table has been updated in the last 30-60 seconds, but still I don't think this is the best aproach.
Could someone come up with a better and useful ideea?
The mySQL query is:
SELECT UPDATE_TIME
FROM   information_schema.tables
WHERE  TABLE_SCHEMA = 'shopper'
   AND TABLE_NAME = 'sh_partners'

And the jQuery timer:
   setInterval("updateContent();", 5000 );
   function updateContent()
    {
        $.ajax({
            url: 'view/ajax/ajax.quickview.php',
            type: 'post',
            dataType: 'json',
            beforeSend: function() {
                $("#small tbody").html(' <img src="<?= DIR_MEDIA;?>img/ajax_loader.gif" alt="" />');
            },
            complete: function() {
            },
            success: function(json) {
                refreshTable();
            }
        });
    }

A: HTTP typically involves a request-response type of communication - which means you would have to poll the server, as you are thinking. It sounds like what you want to do is have the server push to the client, which would require something like websockets.
