This is a lively place to visit with the added advantage of the marina being in the centre of the action.
This is no longer a port of entry.
Visiting yachts need to enterthe country at Herzliya marina, approx. 6NM to the north of Tel-Aviv marina.
Last updated August 2015.
Tel Aviv Marina offers a good range of services including fuel and water on the dock. There are two chandleries with a good selection close by and marine charts are also available locally. There are various workshops in the area, including haul-out by crane (20 tons). A whole range of repairs can be undertaken, such as engine, electronic, fibreglass or sail repair.
There is a small marina at Jaffa, situated close to Tel Aviv. The entrances to both Tel Aviv and Jaffa Marina are difficult and should not be used in strong onshore winds.

Database:
All server related data should be saved in MySQL tables.
As said before, MySQL is one of the best solutions for saving and managing data.
Using another type of file storage like XML or json files will make a lot harder to alternate data in the future.
Just keep in mind that static data, like items, skills or NPCs, should be loaded at the start of the server once.
Known EDW bad practice:
For simplicity reasons character ids are not used as keys in the database.
We use the player name to link information to specific player.
Object ids change each time the player enters the game or an id is requested.
Also since we do not constantly run queries, there is no actual performance downside.
Player deletions:
A player is never deleted, his name and related references are renamed to old name + unix timestamp.
This enables us to undelete the character at any given later time.
Also the space required for player data is very small considering the current hard drive space capacities.
"Since unique ids are represented by a long value do not worry for running out of ids."


Private Parts (1997)
Grade: 61
There is much to like and dislike about Howard Stern. Radio's #1 bad-boy, he is a shock jock who tests the taboos of society. Of course he can be a real jerk, but underneath it all, he's just an average guy and a wonderful family man. Or so he repeatedly tells us, as he plays footsie with naked bimbos while on the air. It's just a joke, get it?
Perhaps Stern has the greatest job in America, getting paid zillions of dollars to express his outrageous opinions on the air, which includes the hiring of hit men to kill people that he dislikes. But it takes talent to ad lib with such flair, and it has to be admitted: Howard Stern is funny, much, much more so than Jerry Springer could ever hope to be, and that is a very redeeming quality.
"Private Parts" tells the Stern saga, rising from clumsy, nerdy college DJ to NBC's flagship radio station in New York. Along the way he marries blonde goddess Mary McCormack, whom he nearly loses due to his radio prattle about his marital intimacies, and his on-air flirtations with bimbo guests and call-ins.
Although (both thankfully and surprisingly) the First Amendment is never mentioned, Stern fights the good fight against censorship, battling a dislikable program manager (Paul Giamatti, dubbed "Pig Vomit" by Stern) for the all-important right to say 'cock' on the air. Wisely, director Betty Thomas softens Stern's persona, downplaying the occasional hatred and emphasizing Stern's role as a family man.
Also appearing in "Private Parts", and also playing themselves, are Stern's radio show cohorts Robin Quivers, Fred Norris, and Jackie Martling. Quivers is especially good.
That "Private Parts" is a modestly good film is not a surprise, given Stern's talent for dialogue. While the film could not have been much better, given his limitations, it could have been much worse, as most comedies are. "Private Parts" is well structured and avoids repetition, and is more than willing to place Stern in embarassing situations. The film never drags and a good laugh is always around the corner.

--- layout: default title: Maze ---
Eller's algorithm for generating random mazes is great. It is particularly clever in that the algorithm generates mazes row by row without storing the entire maze in memory. If your browser supports it you should see a maze and its solution below. I generate solutions for the mazes using Dijkstra's algorithm. I implemented both algorithms in Javascript. Reloading the page will generate a new maze.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

LASTCOMM
Section: User Commands (1)Updated: 1995 October 31
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
lastcomm - print out information about previously executed commands.SYNOPSIS
- lastcomm
-
[
command-name ...
]
[ user-name ... ]
[ terminal-name ... ]
[ --strict-match ]
[ -f filename | --file filename ]
[ --user name ] [ --command name ] [ --tty name ]
[ --debug ] [ ] [ -V | --version ] [ -h | --help ]
DESCRIPTION
lastcomm prints out information about previously executed commands. If no arguments are specified, lastcomm will print info about all of the commands in acct (the record file). If called with one or more of command-name, user-name, or terminal-name, only records containing those items will be displayed. For example, to find out which users used command `a.out' and which users were logged into `tty0', type:
This will print any entry for which `a.out' or `tty0' matches in any of the record's fields (command, name, or terminal). If you want to find only items that match *all* of the arguments on the command line, you must use the '-strict-match' option. For example, to list all of the executions of command a.out by user root on terminal tty0, type:
The order of the arguments is not important.
For each entry the following information is printed:
+ command name of the process
+ flags, as recorded by the system accounting routines:
S -- command executed by super-user
F -- command executed after a fork but without a following exec
C -- command run in PDP-11 compatibility mode (VAX only)
D -- command terminated with the generation of a core file
X -- command was terminated with the signal SIGTERM
+ the name of the user who ran the process
+ time the process started
OPTIONS
. .PD 0- --strict-match
- Print only entries that match *all* of the arguments on the command line.
- --user name
- List records for user with name. This is useful if you're trying to match a username that happens to be the same as a command (e.g., ed ).
- --command name
- List records for command name.
- --tty name
- List records for tty name.
- -f filename, --file filename
- Read from the file filename instead of acct
- --pid
- add pid of the process and pid of the process parent to the output (pid is the last but one and parent pid the last column). These values are shown only when they are generated by acct function (depends on the version of kernel)
- --debug
- Print verbose internal information.
- -V, --version
- Print the version number of lastcomm.
- -h, --help
-
Prints the usage string and default locations of system files to
standard output and exits.

All values are in SI units (m/s^2)
e.x: Acceleration minus Gx on the x-axis filtered with a meanFilter to reduce noize and smooth the sensor inputs.
e.y: Acceleration minus Gy on the y-axis filtered with a meanFilter to reduce noize and smooth the sensor inputs.
e.z: Acceleration minus Gz on the z-axis filtered with a meanFilter to reduce noize and smooth the sensor inputs.
e.linearAccelerationX : same as e.x without gravity as described on android documentation : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html#values
e.linearAccelerationY : same as e.y without gravity as described on android documentation : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html#values
e.linearAccelerationZ : same as e.z without gravity as described on android documentation : http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html#values
All values are in micro-Tesla (uT) and measure the ambient magnetic field in the X, Y and Z axis filtered with a meanFilter to reduce noize and smooth the sensor inputs.
e.x : in micro-Tesla (uT) and measure the ambient magnetic field in the X axis.
e.y : in micro-Tesla (uT) and measure the ambient magnetic field in the Y axis.
e.z : in micro-Tesla (uT) and measure the ambient magnetic field in the Z axis.
e.magnetometer : ready to use value for a magnetometer app (metal detector) in micro-Tesla (uT).
If used in combination with the TYPE_ACCELEROMETER, extra values are provided :
e.compassRotation : ready to use value for a compass app. Get the offset degree for magnetic orientation (see demo app for more info on this value).
If you only needs azimuth pitch an roll values consider using Twisti module (https://github.com/appcelerator-developer-relations/Forging-Titanium/tree/master/ep-014/Twisti).
Azimuth (degrees of rotation around the z axis). This is the angle between magnetic north and the device's y axis. For example, if the device's y axis is aligned with magnetic north this value is 0, and if the device's y axis is pointing south this value is 180. Likewise, when the y axis is pointing east this value is 90 and when it is pointing west this value is 270.
Pitch (degrees of rotation around the x axis). This value is positive when the positive z axis rotates toward the positive y axis, and it is negative when the positive z axis rotates toward the negative y axis. The range of values is 180 degrees to -180 degrees.
Roll (degrees of rotation around the y axis). This value is positive when the positive z axis rotates toward the positive x axis, and it is negative when the positive z axis rotates toward the negative x axis. The range of values is 90 degrees to -90 degrees.
e.azimuth : values returned from the getRotationMatrix, remapCoordinateSystem, and getOrientation function from the android lib. (See http://www.appcelerator.com/blog/2011/11/forging-titanium-episode-15-twisti-part-2-3d-with-three-js/ for more info)
e.pitch : values returned from the getRotationMatrix, remapCoordinateSystem and getOrientation function from the android lib. (See http://www.appcelerator.com/blog/2011/11/forging-titanium-episode-15-twisti-part-2-3d-with-three-js/ for more info)
e.roll : values returned from the getRotationMatrix, remapCoordinateSystem and getOrientation function from the android lib. (See http://www.appcelerator.com/blog/2011/11/forging-titanium-episode-15-twisti-part-2-3d-with-three-js/ for more info)
Ambient (room) temperature
e.celcius : ambient (room) temperature in degree Celsius.
e.fahrenheit : ambient (room) temperature in degree Fahrenheit.
Identical to TYPE_ROTATION_VECTOR except that it doesn't use the geomagnetic field. Therefore the Y axis doesn't point north, but instead to some other reference, that reference is allowed to drift by the same order of magnitude as the gyroscope drift around the Z axis.
In the ideal case, a phone rotated and returning to the same real-world orientation will report the same game rotation vector (without using the earth's geomagnetic field). However, the orientation may drift somewhat over time. This sensor will not have the estimated heading accuracy value.
e.x : rotation vector component along the x axis. x*sin(θ/2).
e.y : rotation vector component along the y axis. y*sin(θ/2).
e.z : rotation vector component along the z axis. z*sin(θ/2).
e.cos: cos(θ/2)
The geomagnetic rotation vector sensor is similar to the Rotation Vector Sensor, but it uses a magnetometer instead of a gyroscope. The accuracy of this sensor is lower than the normal rotation vector sensor, but the power consumption is reduced. Only use this sensor if you want to collect some rotation information in the background without draining too much battery. This sensor is most useful when used in conjunction with batching.
e.x : rotation vector component along the x axis. x*sin(θ/2).
e.y : rotation vector component along the y axis. y*sin(θ/2).
e.z : rotation vector component along the z axis. z*sin(θ/2).
A three dimensional vector indicating the direction and magnitude of gravity. Units are m/s^2. The coordinate system is the same as is used by the acceleration sensor.
e.x
e.y
e.z
All values are in radians/second and measure the rate of rotation around the device's local X, Y and Z axis. The coordinate system is the same as is used for the acceleration sensor. Rotation is positive in the counter-clockwise direction. That is, an observer looking from some positive location on the x, y or z axis at a device positioned on the origin would report positive rotation if the device appeared to be rotating counter clockwise. Note that this is the standard mathematical definition of positive rotation and does not agree with the definition of roll given earlier.
e.x : Angular speed around the x-axis
e.y : Angular speed around the y-axis
e.z : Angular speed around the z-axis
Additionnal values from the android documentation that are not fully explained (see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/hardware/SensorEvent.html#values for more infos ) :
Typically the output of the gyroscope is integrated over time to calculate a rotation describing the change of angles over the timestep.
e.radianX : updated rotation around the x-axis in radian.
e.radianY : updated rotation around the y-axis in radian.
e.radianZ : updated rotation around the z-axis in radian.
e.degreesX : updated rotation around the x-axis in degrees.
e.degreesY : updated rotation around the y-axis in degrees.
e.degreesZ : updated rotation around the z-axis in degrees.
All values are in radians/second and measure the rate of rotation around the device's local X, Y and Z axis. The coordinate system is the same as is used for the acceleration sensor. Rotation is positive in the counter-clockwise direction. That is, an observer looking from some positive location on the x, y or z axis at a device positioned on the origin would report positive rotation if the device appeared to be rotating counter clockwise. Note that this is the standard mathematical definition of positive rotation and does not agree with the definition of roll given earlier.
e.x : Angular speed around the x-axis
e.y : Angular speed around the y-axis
e.z : Angular speed around the z-axis
Heart rate monitor (not tested).
e.rate : heart rate int.
Ambient light level in SI lux units
e.lux : Ambient light level.
A three dimensional vector indicating acceleration along each device axis, not including gravity. All values have units of m/s^2. The coordinate system is the same as is used by the acceleration sensor.
e.x : Acceleration around the x-axis
e.y : Acceleration around the y-axis
e.z : Acceleration around the z-axis
Similar to TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD, but the hard iron calibration is reported separately instead of being included in the measurement. Factory calibration and temperature compensation will still be applied to the "uncalibrated" measurement. Assumptions that the magnetic field is due to the Earth's poles is avoided.
x_uncalib, y_uncalib, z_uncalib are the measured magnetic field in X, Y, Z axes. Soft iron and temperature calibrations are applied. But the hard iron calibration is not applied. The values are in micro-Tesla (uT).
e.x_uncalib
e.y_uncalib
e.z_uncalib
x_bias, y_bias, z_bias give the iron bias estimated in X, Y, Z axes. Each field is a component of the estimated hard iron calibration. The values are in micro-Tesla (uT).
e.x_bias
e.y_bias
e.z_bias
Proximity sensor distance measured in centimeters
Note: Some proximity sensors only support a binary near or far measurement. In this case, the sensor should report its maximum range value in the far state and a lesser value in the near state.
e.cm : distance between phone and obstacle in centimeter.
e.percent : Relative ambient air humidity in percent.
The rotation vector represents the orientation of the device as a combination of an angle and an axis, in which the device has rotated through an angle θ around an axis <x, y, z>.
The three elements of the rotation vector are <x*sin(θ/2), y*sin(θ/2), z*sin(θ/2)>, such that the magnitude of the rotation vector is equal to sin(θ/2), and the direction of the rotation vector is equal to the direction of the axis of rotation.
The three elements of the rotation vector are equal to the last three components of a unit quaternion <cos(θ/2), x*sin(θ/2), y*sin(θ/2), z*sin(θ/2)>.
Elements of the rotation vector are unitless. The x,y, and z axis are defined in the same way as the acceleration sensor.
The reference coordinate system is defined as a direct orthonormal basis, where:
X is defined as the vector product Y.Z (It is tangential to the ground at the device's current location and roughly points East).
Y is tangential to the ground at the device's current location and points towards magnetic north.
Z points towards the sky and is perpendicular to the ground.
e.x : rotation vector component along the x axis. x*sin(θ/2).
e.y : rotation vector component along the y axis. y*sin(θ/2).
e.z : rotation vector component along the z axis. z*sin(θ/2).
e.cos: cos(θ/2)
e.headingAccuracy estimated heading Accuracy (in radians) (-1 if unavailable).
e.motion : 1.0 when the sensor triggers. 1.0 is the only allowed value.
This sensor also triggers an event upon each detected step, but instead delivers the total accumulated number of steps since this sensor was first registered by an app.
e.val : returns the number of steps taken by the user since the last reboot while activated.
e.count : returns the number of steps taken by the user since the event is registered.
This sensor triggers an event each time the user takes a step. Upon each user step, this sensor delivers an event with a value of 1.0 and a timestamp indicating when the step occurred.
e.count : returns the number of steps taken by the user since the event is registered.
Be aware that these two step sensors don't always deliver the same results. The TYPE_STEP_COUNTER events occur with a higher latency than those from TYPE_STEP_DETECTOR, but that's because the TYPE_STEP_COUNTER algorithm does more processing to eliminate false positives. So the TYPE_STEP_COUNTER may be slower to deliver events, but its results should be more accurate.
All values are angles in degrees. Note: This definition is different from yaw, pitch and roll used in aviation where the X axis is along the long side of the plane (tail to nose).
e.orientation : Azimuth, angle between the magnetic north direction and the y-axis, around the z-axis (0 to 359). 0=North, 90=East, 180=South, 270=West.
e.pitch : Pitch, rotation around x-axis (-180 to 180), with positive values when the z-axis moves toward the y-axis.
e.roll : Roll, rotation around the x-axis (-90 to 90) increasing as the device moves clockwise.

Businessmodel of Kellogg Company
Customer Segments
Kellogg offers a broad portfolio of products to a diverse customer base, principally commercial operators in the consumer retail sector. The Company’s customers can be organised broadly into the following categories:
- Retailers, including specialist food retailers, drug stores, club stores, mass merchandisers, discount and dollar stores, and supermarket chains;
- Convenience Retail, including vending machine operators, convenience kiosks, mobile retail units, and other alternate retailing outlets
- Distributors and Wholesalers, including food wholesalers, consumer foods distributors, and other specialist distributors;
- Foodservice Customers, including cafes, coffee houses, and other foodservice outlets; and
- General Consumers, including general consumers across multiple demographics. In 2015 Kellogg’s top five customers collectively accounted for approximately 34% of the Company’s consolidated net sales and approximately 47% of US net sales. The Company’s largest customer was Walmart, which accounted for around 21% of consolidated net sales during 2015. The Company also serves large retail chains such as Target.
Kellogg serves a global customer base. Its largest single market remains the US, however, the Company also serves a network of customers across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and parts of Africa.
Value Propositions
Kellogg provides value to its customers in the following ways:
- Its industry standing and reputation, with the Company established as one of the largest manufacturers of consumer food products in the world, serving a number of high-profile retail clients, and having a reputation for offering high-quality products;
- Its extensive brand portfolio, with the Company controlling a range of popular, well-known brands across multiple product categories, including Pringles, Coco Pops, Pop Tarts, and Rice Krispies;
- Its global reach, with the Company offering its diverse product range to customers across its home market of the US, as well as more broadly across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa;
- Its diverse sales channels, with the Company reaching consumers with its products through various retail channels, including major supermarkets chains, vending machine operators, and certain food service businesses; and
- Its broad infrastructure network, with the Company operating an extensive network of manufacturing and distribution facilities around the world, enabling it to serve its customers quickly and efficiently, regardless of their geographic location. ### Channels
Kellogg operates a website at website www.kelloggcompany.com, through which it provides information on its various brands, product lines, and operating units. The Company does not operate an online sales channel for its core products. It does, however, operate an online store at www.kelloggstore.com, through which it sells Kellogg-branded merchandise, such as apparel, homeware, and collectibles. It also operates an online customer portal and rewards program named Kellogg’s Family Rewards.
Kellogg principally sells its products through its own in-house direct sales force, which is organised by operating segment and geographic region. These sales personnel deal directly with the Company’s clients, operating out of the Company’s international network of offices across the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Africa. The Company also sells a portion of its products under broker and distributor arrangements, working with a range of third party intermediaries. Kellogg’s products are generally resold to consumers in retail stores, restaurants, and other food service establishments.
Kellogg operates its own network of manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution facilities across the US, as well as in locations across its various operating regions, including in the UK, Poland, Malaysia, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Canada.
Customer Relationships
Kellogg does not sell its core products to customers on a self-service basis. It does, however, sell branded merchandise to consumers through an online store, which allows customers to place order, arrange deliveries, and make payments without interacting directly with members of the Company’s sales and service personnel. The Company also offers certain tools and services to customers on a self-service basis through its customer portal.
Kellogg sells its products to retailers, distributors, and food service customers through its direct sales force, which consults with customers over a period of time in order to establish the details of each individual sale sand supply contract. These contract often run into multiple years, with the Company seeking to establish longstanding relationships, in particular with its major retail clients.
Kellogg provides ongoing support to its customers, with major clients that account for a significant portion of the Company’s business, such as Walmart, having their own account management teams, which maintain close contact with the customer. Commercial customers and consumers can also contact the Company’s relevant departments and offices over the phone or online in order to receive personalised responses to queries and enquiries.
Additionally, Kellogg operates a number of social media accounts, including with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube, through which it is able to interact directly with customers and post updates on company developments.

Over 40 migrants found alive in refrigerated truck: Greek police
The migrants, of apparent Afghan origin, were mostly in good condition. Seven of them were given first aid in hospital, the police said
by PTIForty-one migrants were found alive in a refrigerated truck in northern Greece on November 4, said police, who arrested the driver.
The migrants, of apparent Afghan origin, were mostly in good condition. Seven of them were given first aid in hospital, the police said.
"The truck contained men and boys. Identifying their nationality will require a couple of days," a police source told AFP.
The truck was immobilised by police on the Egnatia motorway between the towns of Xanthi and Komotini.
The driver, a man from Georgia, was arrested.
The discovery came after 39 people, all believed to be Vietnamese nationals, were found dead in a refrigerated truck in Britain last month, highlighting the risks of illegal migrant routes to Europe, even for those avoiding perilous travel by sea.
Another 31 Pakistani migrants were found on Saturday hidden in a lorry on a motorway near the French-Italian border.Special Thursday Expiry on 10th 7th Nov

Parentheses main use in JavaScript is to group and contain expressions and parameters in functions and structures. For example a parameter is passed to a function which does something with it and returns the result.
var result = doSomething(aThing)
They are also used to group expressions to control the order of execution.
var result = (5+9)/2*4
Some functions have no parameters and in this case, the space between parentheses is blank.
function doSomeThingElse()
Brackets are used to denote an array and either contains its elements or specifies an element by its index number i.e. its position in the array.
myArray = ["a", "b", "c"] and var result = myArray[0] which is "a" as an array is zero indexed.
Braces define the beginning and end of functions and statement blocks such as the for(), if() and function() structures. Curly braces are also used for defining inital values in object declarations.
code block() {
do some stuff
}
There is no meaningful difference between single and double quotes in JavaScript just remember that they have to be used in pairs. They are used to denote a string e.g. myString = "Hello World". However if you are using one form of quote in the string, its a good idea use the other as the literal. e.g. alert('Say "Hello"'); results in Say "Hello"

An 8-hour weekend online boot camp to help you start modernizing your legacy application.
You got excited when you heard about Modernizing Legacy Applications in PHP. Perhaps you even bought the book. At last, here were the step-by-step instructions to help you work your way out of your horrible legacy codebase!
But you never actually got started on doing the work. Or if you did, you got sidelined by day-to-day details. Maybe it was too hard to keep up your motivation. Maybe it's just that you understand better when someone can talk you through the whole process, and see the steps being performed, instead of only reading about them.
Wouldn't it be great if there was some way to get together with other people who have legacy codebases, and walk through the modernizing process from beginning to end together? Then you could get answers about your particular problems, and share your insights with others.
Well, now you can, with an online weekend "boot camp" for MLAPHP. During the camp, you will get to review the entire modernization process from basic prerequisities at the beginning to setting up a DI container at the end. After that end-to-end study of the steps involved, you should be able to jump-start your own modernizing project much more easily.
This 8-hour camp will combine lecture and "live" coding with examples. In particular, there will be plenty of opportunity for you to get answers specific to your own modernizing situation, and to chat with other attendees. Think of it as a conference training experience in the comfort of your own home, without the travel hassle and hotel expense.
The two-day camp is on Sat 11 July and Sun 12 July. Each day runs from 12 noon to 4pm (US Central Daylight), with time for breaks built in. That makes it 10am-2pm for Pacific time zone attendees, and 1-5pm for Eastern, which should be convenient for almost everyone.
With your ticket to attend the boot camp, you get:
This might be the only time I lead this kind of boot camp, so get your ticket while there are still seats available!


Install Arch Linux on Encrypted Disk
23 July 2023
I installed Arch Linux before but using archinstall script. archinstall
is a helper library which automates the installation. It is packaged with different pre-configured installers that work like a "guided" installer. Linux enthusiasts will oppose to this way of installing since Arch Linux is meant to be DIY.
Then I attempted to do the encrypted version using the same archinstall
. I am not happy with the result due to the following reasons.
-
It has very limited swap space size.

is creating 4GB swap by default and cannot find a way around it. -
It doesn't wake up from hibernation. The only way to recover is through hard restart.
On this post, I will put the step by step guide I followed for an encrypted Arch Linux setup. I had three attempts before I get a working one. Common issue I have is along bootloader and missing resume hook to wake up from deep sleep. I learned my lessons the hard way!
This setup will create an LVM on LUKS with GRUB boot loader.
Preparing the USB boot disk
The steps here are for Linux users. If you're a Windows user, please look for alternative way from Arch Linux Wiki. rufus or Balena etcher will do the job for you.
-

While You Were Sleeping Chad'z rating: *** (out of 4 = good) 1995, PG, 103 minutes [1 hour, 43 minutes] [romantic comedy] starring: Sandra Bullock (Lucy), Bill Pullman (Jack), Jack Warden (Saul), Peter Gallagher (Peter), written by Daniel G. Sullivan, Fredric Lebow, produced by Joe Roth, Roger Birnbaum, directed by Jon Turtletaub.
 It's a story so fantastic and romantic you don't realize how impossible it seems. After all, what are fairytales for?
The film stars Sandra Bullock as a Lucy, a cute but lonely token collector for Chicago's famous elevated transit system. Everyday she goes through the same routine, but there is one man (Gallagher as Peter) who comes to her line everyday who makes it all worthwhile. She adores him, but she knows he'll never ask her out and she isn't brave enough to ask him. She doesn't even know his name.
One day the man is mugged and pushed on to the tracks and knocked unconscious. Lucy runs to his rescue and miraculously saves him, and rushes him to the hospital. But when the hospital staff won't let her in to see him, she accidentally leads them to believe he is her fiancee just as the man's family walks in. And so the typical comedy where everyone is mislead ensues, but it works perfectly here. It's very romantic as you hope that somehow the man will come out of his coma and the two really will fall in love.
Enter Jack Callahan (Pullman), the brother of Peter (the mystery man), who becomes suspicious of Lucy. The two start to hang out and get to know each other, and it's obvious an unspoken attraction here. This makes for an original situation, because you'd expect the two would fall madly in love right away... but thankfully this doesn't happen.
Most of the film shows Lucy's relationship with the Callahans and her involvement with Jack. Jack doesn't know the truth about the "engagement," but Lucy never tells him. Here is where a real problem starts to occur, do we hope Lucy will tell the truth and get together with Jack? Or is this just a bad idea altogether and should she somehow try to marry Peter? After all, she did say he was her dream man - why would she turn down the opportunity to finally be with him?
Eventually Peter recovers from his coma, and when the family tells him about Lucy he doesn't know what they're talking about. There are some pretty funny scenes in which Peter tries to remember everyday things, but doesn't understand why he can't remember meeting and falling in love with Lucy. We also learn Peter's character is a Scrooge-like greedy lawyer who chases ambulances and fakes his own heroics in order to make himself look good. Even though Peter can't remember Lucy, he feels reborn and does fall in love with her. He even proposes to her in a scene that's unlike anything you've ever seen before.
The ending might be a little typical but at least it's funny and very charming. I can't believe it works as well as it does, which is quite an accomplishment for such a mainstream film.
Maybe the premise to "While You Were Sleeping" is a little cheesy, but darn it, I liked it. It's funny, romantic, creative, and makes you feel good and shows the mysterious power love has.

I have a keen interest in sporting activity. From a young age I have played many different sports. These include:
Without a doubt, hurling was my first love in the sporting world.
Whether it be playing it myself amongst my school friends or cheering on my county team in Croke Park (not that they got there often...),
I was a devote follower of the game.
Always an avid fan of Arsenal F.C., my love of the game has sadly been reducing with each passing season.
A member of Villa F.C. since infancy, never my best sport.
Late starter to rugby. First played in school and then with Waterford City Rugby Club.
It is my favourite sport out of the lot and would never trade the experiences I had with it for anything else in the world.
The sport I picked up in college.
I find it a very beneficial way to both have fun and keep fit.

Genomic organization, sequence, and transcriptional regulation of the human eotaxin gene.
Abstract
Eotaxin is an eosinophil specific beta-chemokine assumed to be involved in eosinophilic inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, asthma and parasitic infections. Its expression is stimulus- and cell-specific. We here describe the genomic organisation (3 exons of 132, 112 and 542 bp and 2 introns of 1211 and 378 bp) and sequence including 3 kb of DNA from the immediate 5 ' upstream region of the human eotaxin gene. Among the regulatory promoter elements potentially regulating eotaxin gene expression and/or mediating the effects of anti-inflammatory drugs we identified consensus sequences known to interact with nuclear factors like NF-IL6, AP-1, a NF-kappa-B like consensus sequence and gamma-interferon- as well as glucocorticoid response elements.

A BRONX TALE A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1993 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: Calogero is growing up in the Bronx in the late 50s with two father figures. One is his honest, hard-working, biological father and the other is a likable hood who takes Calogero under his wing. Robert DeNiro directs the film as well as playing the honest father while the screenwriter of the semi-autobiographical story turns in a winning performance as the hood. Rating: low +2 (-4 to +4).
When I think of Robert DeNiro these days, I mostly think about an interview he gave about GUILTY BY SUSPICION. His comments about the blacklisting era were so shallow and so lacking in information and insight that at the time I assumed he was a person with few talents other than line-reading. Now I have to reassess that conclusion after seeing his directorial debut.
Romantic love triangles are a staple of the film industry. For Robert DeNiro's directorial debut he has chosen a story with a different sort of love triangle, one of paternal love. Calogero has two father figures in his life. His true father (played by DeNiro) is a poor bus driver. That does not get a lot of respect in the Bronx Italian community in the late Fifties.  One day Sonny kills a man and nine-year-old Calogero lies to save his idol Sonny from the police. From that point on Sonny adopts Colgero, after a fashion. Both he and Lorenzo, Colgero's real father, want what is best for the boy, but Lorenzo is a straight arrow and wants his son to have nothing to do with the hood. In spite of his own profession, Sonny wants to keep Colgero honest and put him on the path to success.
Francis Capra is a little too sharp playing the nine-year-old Calogero. He is just a bit overly clever in his repartee with his parents. But then screenwriter Palminteri is actually writing about himself so might be a little willing to exaggerate his own verbal prowess when he was Calogero's age. And Calogero does have to be a little devious in how he balances his two father figures. The second part of the story has Calogero (now played by Lillo Brancato) seventeen years old and romantically interested in an attractive Black girl (Taral Hicks). The story comes to involve tensions between the Black and Italian communities in the Bronx. Now to Calogero, Sonny seems to be the only sane and tolerant person in the Italian community.
The story of A BRONX TALE is based on the Palminteri's semi- autobiographical play which he used to perform as a one-person show. The details of life in the Bronx and the style of storytelling are reminiscent of GOODFELLAS and DeNiro even has a cameo for Joe Pesci. Just as earlier this year Mel Gibson proved he had a better hand at directing than most of us would have expected, so too DeNiro's style is surprisingly good for a first-timer. He has a very sure hand at combining music into the action. His direction shows this in one of the first scenes of the film in which a montage of scenes from a stickball game are synchronized to a do-wop song.
But the real show-stealer is Palminteri himself as Sonny. The same stage presence that worked for him doing the story in his one-man show translates to charisma on the screen. Like Joe Mantegna in HOUSE OF GAMES, Palminteri is the central attraction whenever he is on the screen. As the hood, Sonny is magnetic while the audience expectation is that he will at some point do something nasty and his relationship with the boy will break down. That may or may not happen, but the character is real enough to transcend stereotypes and the story of the relationship probably more interesting and credible than most fiction writers would have made it. DeNiro proves himself as an accomplished director his first time around. My rating is a low +2 on the -4 to +4 scale.
