 his party participated in a week-long hunger strike against the proposal.Later, in January 2013, the Constitutional Court of Hungary struck down the new electoral law as unconstitutional; after that decision, Fidesz caucus dropped the law. Gyurcsány referred to that act as his party's success. On 14 January 2014, the Democratic Coalition and four other groups founded Unity, a political alliance with the aim of defeating Fidesz at the elections in the spring. The alliance made it into the Parliament, but only as opposition. DK won only four seats, which meant that since they were below the minimum requirements of forming a parliamentary group (five seats), its MPs (including Gyurcsány) officially count as independent politicians. On 8 April 2018, the Democratic Coalition won nine seats, creating now a political group in the National Assembly. In 2019 on the European election his party got the 16% of the votes and became the largest opposition party.Personal life

<mask> is currently married to his third wife. He has two sons (Péter and Bálint) from his second marriage with Edina Bognár, and three children (Anna, Tamás and Márton) from his third marriage. His spouse is Klára Dobrev, whose maternal grandfather Antal Apró was Hungary's Minister of Industry in the 1950s–60s. He got his nickname "Fletó" from one of his teachers. While Prime Minister of Hungary, he did not pick up his paycheck, but instead, he donated it to varying organizations. Criticism

Wealth
The origin of Gyurcsány's wealth was regularly questioned by the media and the Fidesz opposition at the time. In 2006 the weekly paper HVG wrote about a biography of Gyurcsány: "[it] concludes that talent played a

<mask> (April 25, 1924 – June 1, 2014) was an American-born Canadian geologist, volcanologist, professor and engineer. He contributed significantly to the early understanding of recent volcanic activity in the Canadian Cordillera. Many of his publications continue to be regarded as classics in their field, even now several decades after they were written. Biography
<mask> was born in Chicago, Illinois, United States on April 25, 1924. As a young child he moved to the U.S. state of Alabama. In his teenage years, <mask> relocated with his family to the Canadian province of Alberta at a cattle ranch near the First Nations settlement of Morley. After his family lost the ranch, <mask> moved with his family to the mountain town of Banff.Here, he attended Banff High School. In 1945 at the age of 21, <mask> graduated as the class president. He was later accepted into a geological engineering program at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He was offered a full scholarship to Princeton University in Princeton, New Jersey after excelling to such a degree at the University of British Columbia. Consequently, he enrolled in the Ph.D. program for geology. After completing his degree, <mask> joined the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) office in Vancouver and carved out a remarkable career as one of the country's leading authorities on geothermal resources and volcanism in the Canadian Cordillera. Souther had long been in demand as a public speaker because of his ability to communicate scientific ideas to lay audiences.This included his ability to be a principal in media interviews, a participant in radio and television open-line shows and as a main figure in television broadcasts handling with its scientific concentration. Souther received the Bancroft Award for "publication, instruction, and research in the earth sciences that have conspicuously contributed to public understanding and appreciation

 of the subject" from the Royal Society of Canada in 1984. After retiring to the position of emeritus scientist in 1992, <mask> began his second career as a ski guide/mountain host at the Whistler Blackcomb ski resort. In 1995, he received the Career Achievement Award in volcanology and igneous petrology by the Geological Association of Canada. <mask> was one of the first members to join the Whistler Naturalists, a society founded in the resort town of Whistler, British Columbia during the late 1990s. During his time with the society he discussed the geology and natural history of the Whistler area. <mask> died on June 1, 2014 in Lions Gate Hospital, North Vancouver at the age of 90 following a long battle with cancer.He is survived by his wife Betty and their three daughters Anne, Barbara and Janet. Scientific research

<mask>'s scientific work embraced a broad spectrum of topics, including volcanology, stratigraphy, hydrogeology, landslides, tectonics and mineral deposits. But his most influential work was in the fields of volcanoes and volcanism. When he joined the Geological Survey of Canada, there was a curious gap in the Pacific Ring of Fire between the U.S. states of Alaska and Washington. This began to change in 1956 when the crash mapping program of Operation Stikine identified a number of Cenozoic volcanoes in northwestern British Columbia. Among these were Level Mountain, the Iskut-Unuk River Cones and the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. Masterminded by <mask>, Operation Stikine continued to work in the late 1950s and 1960s.During an expedition of the Canadian Arctic in 1963, <mask> observed and named two geological formations. The Strand Fiord Formation on west-central Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut consists mainly of basaltic lava flows and agglomerates. <mask> established a type section for this formation near the western tip of the Kanguk Peninsula. The overlying Kanguk Formation was

In 1965, Canadian geologist John Oliver Wheeler foresaw the need for a volcanological program in Canada's western Cordillera. <mask> was given the job of working on the Mount Edziza complex with the able assistance of Maurice Lambert.By 1970, the two geologists had established that eruptions of alkali basalt, followed by extrusion of silicic peralkaline lavas, had occurred episodically at Edziza for the past 10 million years and that volcanism was accompanied by east-west extension and incipient rifting. However, the regional tectonic context was still unresolved. During his geological studies in the area <mask> named Eve Cone after a local First Nations woman, Eve Brown Edzerza. Edziza remained a significant study area for <mask> until his last year of serious field work in 1992. During this year he highlighted the importance and size of the region and proposed that numerous eruptions emplaced lava in a sub-ice or ice-contact environment. This was confirmed by other scientists in 2006. As part of Operation St. Elias, <mask> studied the stratigraphy, structure and evolution of the Wrangell lavas of southwest Yukon in the mid 1970s.He was surprised by the difference in volcanic style between the Wrangell lavas where an enormous volume of andesite lava had issued without any apparent breaks and was accompanied by profound tectonic uplift and compressive folding, in contrast to the episodic eruption of alkaline basalt and highly fractionated silicic peralkaline rocks at Edziza. The differences in eruptive style and chemistry of the Wrangell lavas led <mask> to speculate they were related to a calc-alkaline volcanic arc that formed along a converging plate boundary.

 Cordilleran tectonics by <mask>. This information contributed significantly to the early understanding of Quaternary volcanism in Canada. However, the origins of the east-west trending Anahim Volcanic Belt was still not understood. Several features in the Mount Cayley volcanic field were illustrated by <mask> in 1980, including Mount Cayley, Ember Ridge, Mount Fee, Cauldron Dome, Pali Dome, Slag Hill and Ring Mountain, the later of which he called Crucible Dome. This resulted in the recreation of a geologic map that showed the regional terrain and locations of the volcanoes.<mask> conducted the first detailed study of Mount Cayley itself during this period. At least three stages of volcanic activity were identified at the volcano. He also hypothesized that the Ember Ridge domes shared a common magma source. However, significant variations in the percentage of phenocrysts in the six domes prove otherwise. <mask> added several hundred Quaternary aged volcanoes on Canadian maps throughout his career. His work contributed to the closing of Canada's gap in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Whistler Naturalists Society

Whistler Mountain
<mask> described the geology of Whistler Mountain for the Whistler Naturalists Society on May 11, 2001.He speculated that its shale originated as mud on the seafloor of a prehistoric ocean. Granular material, such as clay, sand and silt, was carried into the ancient ocean by rivers that existed during the Cretaceous period. As the Cretaceous rivers continuously sent granular material into the former ocean, it was deposited yearly to eventually form layers of sedimentary material. Once the sedimentary material was compressed, it created the shale that now forms portions of Whistler Mountain. The most common rocks, andesite and dacite lavas, were said to have been deposited when volcanic activity created a series of islands and lava flows in the ancient ocean. Once the shale and

 lavas were deposited, they began to deform, crumple and uplift due to the extreme pressures created by movement of the North American Plate and the tectonic plates under the Pacific Ocean. The large masses of solidified lava that formerly created the volcanic island chain and underwater lava flows yielded by demolishing into massive, mountain-sized blocks while the less dense, thinly layered shale was compressed, folded and crushed between the associated lavas.<mask> classified these rocks as part of the Gambier Group, a geologic formation that was created within a shallow underwater basin about 100 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous period. Flute and Piccolo summits
On August 12, 2004, <mask>er convinced that Flute Summit is an exposed subvolcanic intrusion of an ancient volcano. The subvolcanic magma heated and set up convention in nearby groundwater, creating a hydrothermal system. This ancient hydrothermal system, combined with sulfurous gasses released from the magma, caused chemical alteration of both the crystallizing subvolcanic intrusion and the adjacent rocks. The weathering of pyrite crystals inside the subvolcanic rock to iron oxide has resulted in the redness of Flute Summit. The green Piccolo Summit consists of lava flows that Souther speculated to have erupted about 100 million years ago. Bibliography

<mask> was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, on June 24, 1848, son of <mask> and <mask>. He attended schools in the United States and in Europe. <mask> was a great-grandson of President <mask>, a grandson of President <mask>, the youngest son of U.S. diplomat <mask>, and brother to <mask>. and <mask>. He was a  philosopher, historian, and novelist, whose theories of history were influenced by his work. His maternal grandfather was <mask>, the wealthiest man in Boston at the time of his death. He graduated from Harvard University in 1870 and studied at Harvard Law School in 1870 and 1871.<mask> was secretary to his father in  Geneva, in 1872, where the latter was an arbitrator upon the Alabama claims, under the "Treaty of Washington." He was admitted to the bar in 1873, practiced law in Boston until 1881, and then devoted himself to literary work. Social theories
<mask> believed that commercial civilizations rise and fall in predictable cycles. First, masses of people draw together in large population centers and engage in commercial activities. As their desire for wealth grows, they discard spiritual and creative values. Their greed leads to distrust and dishonesty, and eventually the society crumbles when a new, more economically energetic society takes its place. In The Law of Civilization and Decay (1896), <mask> noted that as new population centers emerged in the west, centers of world trade shifted from Constantinople to Venice to Amsterdam to London.This work has been compared to the later, longer works Decline of

<mask> (born 1953) is an English journalist and writer who has published biographies of royal figures such as Diana, Princess of Wales, and celebrity subjects including Tom Cruise, Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Monica Lewinsky; several of his books have been unauthorised and contain contested assertions. Early life and career
<mask> was born and raised in Dewsbury, West Riding of Yorkshire, where his father ran a picture framing business. He attended Temple Moor Boy's Grammar School, Leeds and Sussex University where he studied history. After university, <mask> became a tabloid journalist and worked for three London tabloids, the Daily Star, News of the World, and Daily Mail, until 1987. Biography of royal figures
<mask> wrote a biography of Diana, Princess of Wales called Diana: Her True Story. In 1993 it was made into a television film of the same name, with Serena Scott Thomas as Diana. Following Diana's death in August 1997, <mask> issued an edition entitled Diana: Her True Story in Her Own Words in October.On 16 November 2010, Prince William announced his engagement to Catherine Middleton. <mask> was commissioned by Michael O'Mara Books to write a book to coincide with the royal wedding on 29 April 2011. The book, which went on sale on 3 May 2011 in the UK, includes a detailed biography of Prince William, as well as details of his relationship with Catherine Middleton. The book features full-colour photos of Prince William and the couple, as well as a detailed section on the wedding itself. In April 2018, he published Meghan: A Hollywood Princess about Meghan Markle, who married Prince Harry a month later in May 2018. Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography

texts: Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography was published in January 2008, and reprinted with an update in February 2009. In a review in The New York Times, Janet Maslin writes "Mr. <mask> has found a number of former Scientologists who are willing to speak freely, and in some cases vengefully, about the group's purported inner workings.Mr. <mask>'s eagerness to include their voices leads him to push the limits of responsible reporting." Maslin adds that <mask> "provides a credible portrait extrapolated from the actor's on-the-record remarks and highly visible public behavior." Writing in Entertainment Weekly, Mark Harris gives the book a grade of "C-", and says "Cruise emerges from <mask>'s takedown moderately scratched but as uncracked as ever." Another review in The New York Times by Ada Calhooun stated:However shady Scientology may be, <mask>'s language in Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography is extreme. He and his sources compare the church and its leadership to fascists, the Roman Empire, storm troopers, Machiavelli, Orwell’s Animal Farm, Napoleon, Stalinists and North Korea. He also repeatedly invokes Nazism, and quotes without censure the German Protestant Church’s comparison of Cruise to Joseph Goebbels. Teresa Budasi of the Chicago Sun-Times describes the book as "fascinating", although Budasi also raises a "question as to what's true and what isn’t."Budasi sums up her impression of the work, writing "<mask>'s book is as much an indictment on Cruise's chosen faith as it is the life story of one of the world's biggest movie stars. And by the end you realize that 'Scientologist' is what will end up being the role of his lifetime." In a review in The Buffalo News,

 Jeff Simon writes of the author: "To give <mask> the credit he’s clearly due: he is one of the best around at constructing a 250-page gossip column." Upon its publication, Cruise's lawyer and the Church of Scientology released statements questioning the truthfulness of assertions made by <mask> in the book. In a 15-page statement released to the press, the Church of Scientology calls the book "a bigoted, defamatory assault replete with lies". The book was not published in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand due to strict libel laws in those countries. Other publications
<mask> received public attention after Diana's death, when he revealed the extent of her collaborations with him.He achieved greater prominence in the United States after the publication of Monica's Story. After Monica's Story, <mask> investigated a mining disaster, which led to his first non-royal journalistic account, Nine for Nine: The Pennsylvania Mine Rescue Miracle. He also wrote an authorised biography of Kenyan president Daniel arap Moi.

Born Norberto Palese in the Barracas section of Buenos Aires, he was the only child of Nieves Filgueiras and Antonio Palese. He began his career in show business at age sixteen, when Jorge Loguarro, a friend and coworker who moonlighted as a stage presenter, invited him to do likewise at the Salón Argentino on Corrientes Avenue. The company hired Palese as a presenter for their traveling show, and the young man adopted his stage name: Jorge "<mask>" <mask>. He debuted on the radio in Argentina in 1950 when a chance encounter with radio host Roberto González Rivero ("Riverito") at the Huracán Stadium resulted in his being hired as an announcer on Riverito's Peña de tango, on Radio del Pueblo. He then worked with radio theater host Julio César Barton, and as a sportscaster for Chacarita Juniors. He replaced Carlos Carella, who began career in film, at the popular El Chantecler revue and became acquainted with Argentine comedy greats Tita Merello and Luis Sandrini as a stand-in for host Jaime Font Saravia in El Relámpago ("The Thunderbolt"), where the duo starred under the direction of Miguel Coronatto Paz.Coronatto Paz later hired <mask> on a permanent basis. His first marriage, to Dora Palma, ended after two years; they had one daughter. <mask> hosted a morning show, beginning in 1955, with María Esther Vignola and Rina Morán on Radio El Mundo. The "Fontana Show" was a success, and the show attracted prestigious producers such as Alberto Migré, Hugo Moser, Abel Santa Cruz, and Relámpago producer Miguel Coronatto Paz. He premiered on Argentine television in 1956, hosting the quiz show Odol Pregunta on Channel 7, and a talk show, La Campana de Cristal. His producer on Channel 7, Guillermo Brizuela Méndez, would become a friend and mentor to the young star. He appeared in numerous advertising spots in subsequent years, as well as in sportscasting, and would work with leading Argentine

He served as chief news correspondent during the 1970 ceremony bestowing the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Dr. Luis Federico Leloir. The Fontana Show returned on the airwaves as a four-hour, live current events and interview program. The show became known for its on-site reporting, and its host often interviewed guests in their cars with a mobile unit plugged into the cigarette lighter. The popular program helped launch the careers of  Carlos Abrevaya, Adolfo Castelo, and Jorge Guinzburg, among others.<mask> had a twelve-year relationship with tango vocalist Beba Bidart, and in 1970 married model Liliana Caldini, who is 20 years younger than him and with whom he had twin daughters. He left Radio Rivadavia in December 1973 to pursue an offer from Spanish radio network Cadena SER, where he continued his morning show format. He returned to Argentina in 1977, and joined Channel 13. The new program would feature more international news by incorporating a VCR and imported news footage, hence the name: "VideoShow." The show was a success, and on August 17, 1978, <mask>'s VideoShow was given the honor of inaugurating the nation's first color television station, ATC. The sinking of the ARA General Belgrano on May 2, 1982, at the height of the Falklands War, prompted <mask> to organize a telethon for the benefit of the troops, 24 horas por Malvinas, hosted with Lidia Elsa Satragno on May 7–8. The marathon 24-hour event, which raised us$1.5 million as well as sundries and valuables, would become a serious setback to his career, however.Following the Argentine defeat five weeks

 later, revelations surfaced that the donations, as well as the Islas Malvinas Patriotic Fund these were deposited into (totaling us$54 million), were largely misappropriated by the Galtieri regime. His marriage to Liliana Caldini ended acrimoniously after twelve years. <mask> returned to radio in 1983 as co-host of the comedy series Chapucai, with Nito Artaza, on LOR Radio Argentina. He transferred to LRA Radio Nacional the following year to host Fontana Nacional, and earned a contract as spokesperson for local dairy products maker La Serenísima. The Radio Nacional studio was located across the street from Atahualpa Yupanqui's Buenos Aires address, and the noted folk singer-songwriter became a frequent, impromptu co-host. He returned to Radio Rivadavia as host of Sexta Edición (Sixth Edition) in 1986. Co-hosted by Antonio Carrizo, Héctor Larrea, and José María Muñoz, the show restored <mask>'s prominence in the medium during the late 1980s.The contract as spokesman for La Serenísima ended in 1989, and though the Fontana Show returned on Radio Rivadavia in 1992, its cancellation in 1993 marked the effective end of <mask>'s storied career. He would appear only sporadically in advertisements or special programs in later years. The avuncular host, winner of 14 Martín Fierro Awards (as well as one for lifetime achievement) and an Ondas Prize from Spain, considered leaving the country where his name had been a household word. <mask>'s relationship with Marcela Tiraboschi ended in the early 1990s amid lawsuits, and he later struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction. His mother died in 2006 at age 101, and in 2009 he underwent a coronary artery bypass surgery. He overcame these challenges, however, later appearing in the Cosquín Festival (one of the most important recurring events in Argentine music) and returning as a spokesman for La Serenísima.

 main early influence was Harry Houdini. By age 14, <mask> was performing throughout high school at restaurants in East Meadow, including the Wine Gallery. <mask>'s first major illusion was making his mother float in their family den. Early in his career he was helped by animal breeder and reality-television host Marc Morrone, who helped <mask> find and train a set of doves for his act. By the time he graduated from East Meadow High School, he had decided to pursue a career as a professional magician instead of attending college as his parents wanted. According to the Biography Channel, "<mask> hit the road and began touring with other traveling performance acts. Between traveling and performing, he attempted to further his education in his own by studying the history of magic in public libraries.He also studied the art of mysticism, music, martial arts and even dance." Early career
<mask> has said that, "I stayed away from magicians when I was younger because I didn't want to think like them and wanted to create my own style." His first television appearance was in 1994, where he performed as a part of a one-hour ABC primetime special entitled Secrets. One of the early supporters of <mask> was horror director Clive Barker. In 1995, Barker asked <mask> to work with him on his film Lord of Illusions. He also later recorded the intro to <mask>'s album World of Illusion: System One. Barker said of <mask> in the mid-1990s that, "Criss <mask> is extraordinary, a spectacular mix of visionary magic.This is the future, and it can't come quickly enough." During that year, he collaborated with musician Klayton to form Angeldust, a show that combined magic with music. They released

However, by 2000, Klayton's name was removed from <mask>'s website. <mask> also starred in the 1997 television movie The Science of Magic and its 2003 sequel The Science of Magic II. Criss Angel Mindfreak, which would later become <mask>'s first television series, was originally an off-Broadway show by <mask>, which in 2001 was picked up by the World Underground Theatre.When not performing the show, <mask> worked the streets promoting the show to pedestrians. <mask> <mask>freak ran for more than 600 performances between 2001 and 2003 at the World Underground Theater in Times Square. His 24 hours in a tank of water set a world record for the longest amount of time for a human to be completely submerged under water. This performance would also become a part of his first television special. <mask> has also been known to actively discourage a belief in mediumship, stating that there is no way for mediums to speak with people beyond the dead. He has said, "If somebody's doing that for entertainment purposes, that's one thing. But if they claim to be communicating with the dead, I don't care if they're from my hometown, I don't care if they're my family members: I'll expose them and tell them what they really are."Water torture cell in Times Square, 2002

 the World Underground Theatre where <mask> had been performing his stage show. To prepare for the trick, he practiced in a neighbor's backyard swimming pool next to his mother's house in East Meadow, New York. Prior to the performance he had only managed to spend 12 consecutive hours in the water. He fasted for 24 hours before the performance to make it through the period without need to exit and use the bathroom. During the trick, he went through 16 oxygen tanks. After the trick, he was required to remove his own shackles and chains before exiting the water. Within an hour, his skin began to react substantially to the water.At the end of the performance, according to Ted Shaffrey, "Before he emerged from the phone-booth sized contraption of clear plastic and steel, <mask> yanked out the air hose that allowed him to breathe. Then assistants pulled a black curtain over the 220-gallon (832-liter) chamber to block the view of television cameras and about 100 people gathered outside the window in which he was displayed. Under cover, <mask> apparently escaped from the shackles that bound his arms, legs and neck, before pulling himself from the watery chamber with a celebratory scream." Upon successfully completing the trick, he was described as having "skin crinkled and his eyes bloodshot", and upon emerging from the tank he was taken to St. Clare's Hospital and treated for severe dehydration. He reported afterwards that he had suffered from overheating, jaw fatigue, and semi-consciousness while in the tank. Television specials and promotional appearances (2002–2005)

All seems to be going well, until the filter system breaks down and the water begins to heat up." On October 31, 2003, the SciFi Channel aired the one-hour special Supernatural starring <mask>. Kate O'Hare said of the special that, "Filmed in part at Universal Theme Park in Orlando, Fla., "Supernatural" finds <mask> crawling up buildings, passing a quarter through his skin, spontaneously combusting and having otherworldly creatures burst from his chest." When asked about his process in creating television specials, <mask> said that, "I like to have my hand in everything on my TV specials.I'm the executive producer; I direct it; I create it. I write all the music for my TV specials and my live performances. It's on my label. I write it; I produce it." During the special <mask> performed stunts, including lighting himself on fire and making a tarantula emerge from a pedestrian's soda can. In 2003, <mask> was also featured in the two-hour TBS special Made in Japan.

Seasons 1 and 2 were filmed at The Aladdin in Las Vegas, with Season 3 at the Luxor Las Vegas. Premiering on July 20, 2005, the show's illusions included walking on water, levitating, walking up the side of Luxor Hotel (in the light of 39 focused lamps that can be seen from space), floating between two buildings, causing a Lamborghini to disappear, surviving in an exploding C4 Crate, cutting himself in half in full view of an audience and getting run over by a steamroller while lying on a bed of broken glass. The first season of the show was released on DVD after it completed its on-screen run.The show also released its Halloween special, along with two special episodes, on an additional one-disc DVD offering. The show returned for a second season in May 2006, and was named one of the best shows of the summer by the Tulsa World newspaper.

The show became one of the most popular foreign television shows in parts of Asia, including China.The television show was noted as a part of the mid-2000s films, television, and books that drove a resurgence of the public popularity of magic. Criss Angel Mindfreak was the first weekly magic television show to air in 40 years. Daily Variety reviewed the premiere writing, "The stunts alone are impressive. But what makes the show fascinating are the down-home touches in which we see the kid from New York, who first honed his magic skills at the age of 6. Keenly aware of the camera at all times, <mask> manages to offer some personality, especially where family is involved. Viewers follow the illusionist as he contemplates new and more dangerous stunts, while his crew, including his often-fretful brothers, offer insight as to what, other than ego, drives someone in this profession." The show ran from 2005 until 2010, at which point he had been featured for more hours on prime time television than any other magician in history.Other tricks performed in the show included the performance of séances, as well as other tricks in order to teach his audience about con men and how to avoid scams intended to manipulate money out of people. In July 2008, <mask> escaped from a beachside hotel before its demolition in front of a crowd of about 50,000 people, an illusion that also aired on the television program. After the illusion, <mask> showed the audience step by step how he achieved the escape. He first picked open a set of handcuffs that had him shackled to a balcony railing. He then smashed the window of the room in order to enter the hotel, and picked padlocks on both the

The escape was initially supposed to occur via a ladder that dangled above the hotel's roof 30 seconds before collapse, after picking through five locks on the roof's door. Instead, <mask> emerged from the rubble after the collapse, claiming that the initial plan was always to escape via the helicopter.The total time allotted for the entire illusion was four minutes, with dynamite located on the first, second, and fourth floors of the building. Criss Angel Believe

Stage show

In 2006, <mask> partnered with Cirque du Soleil to produce the stage show Criss Angel Believe (stylized as "Criss Angel BeLIEve"), premiering the show at the Luxor Las Vegas on September 26, 2008. It became the bestselling live magic show in the world. The name of the show was taken from Harry Houdini, for the mythology of Houdini choosing the word "believe" as the codeword for communicating with Houdini after his death. Luxor's parent company, MGM Mirage, financed the show with $100 million. After several delays, the show was set for a gala opening on October 31, 2008, with preview shows in late September on the 82nd anniversary of Harry Houdini's death. The initial preview received mixed reactions and reviews.Reporters for the Las Vegas Sun, Los Angeles Times, and Las Vegas Review-Journal cited a lack of the magic <mask> is known for, as well as a confusing and uninteresting theme. They also opined that neither <mask> nor Cirque du Soleil were able to perform to their capabilities during these initial performances. On the positive side, the Las Vegas Sun later quoted Star Pulse, stating, "He has created a live show that is everything a perfect

 magic performance should be — and then some. It's not just remarkable magic — it's transcendent art that won't just blow your mind; it will quite possibly change your life." In April 2009, <mask> ended a performance of Believe by "hurling obscene insults" at blogger Perez Hilton, an audience member. Hilton reportedly had texted to his fans during the performance that the show was "unbelievably BAD" and that he'd "rather be getting a root canal", and word had gotten back to <mask> by the end of the performance. Cirque du Soleil later apologized to Hilton for <mask>'s remarks.In 2010, the Las Vegas Sun critic John Katsilometes, after being unimpressed by the initial show, said Believe had improved by reducing the narrative elements and focusing on the magic. In 2011, the Toronto Star wrote: "The show is easily the most exciting thing now on stage in Vegas!" That year the show attracted an estimated $150 million in ticket sales. The show currently has a 10-year performance contract that runs through 2019, and was the best selling magic show in Las Vegas as of 2013. Television series
The stage show celebrated its fifth anniversary of appearing on stage in October 2013. That month a cable television series based upon the show entitled Criss Angel BeLIEve was broadcast on Spike TV. The first season included 11 one-hour episodes, including 118 different illusions.Guests on the show include Ludacris, Ice-T, Randy Couture and Shaquille O'Neal. When asked about the three years between the last episode of Mindfreak and his return to television, <mask> stated that, "I didn't take long at all to go back to television. It was my choice to work on the live Cirque show and to get that

texts: where I wanted it to be. "Now that that show is just humming and doing amazing business — it's the #1 bestselling magic show in the world as far as ticket sales and the perception that people are experiencing and coming back to see it multiple times — I felt it was in a great place and I could think about television again. Obviously, "Believe" will continue to evolve until its last performance because I always want to add new magic, I'm always tweaking and transforming it. I missed being on television, I had something new creatively to say, and Spike became the perfect home to do it." Endemol purchased the foreign distribution rights for the show, and was the "most-watched new original series [on Spike TV] in more than 18 months" according to The Hollywood Reporter.In the episode "Lord of Illusions — Death Premonition", <mask> paid homage to Clive Barker, the director of the horror movie of the same name. In the episode, <mask> performed the closing stunt from the film, in which he laid beneath a circle of suspended swords, and predicted the correct order of six falling swords to avoid becoming stabbed through his body after their release. The swords were selected by the audience with the help of a randomly bouncing ball. According to the Las Vegas Sun, "Criss is the only, and first, magician in the world granted permission from the inventor and filmmaker to re-create the film's death-defying stunt." For another episode for the series filmed in New York City he was asked by the NYPD not to pre-announce the performance, as crowd control for some <mask> performances had become a concern for the police. This trick saw <mask> hanging his feet, while bound with two

 straitjackets and a noose around his neck which were attached to metal weights. While he was successful in the trick, <mask> tore his shoulder muscles and this required surgery in January 2014.This resulted in the temporary closing of the Believe stage show between January and April 2014, while he was recovering from the surgery and returning to performance shape. He did however host a new stage show featuring other magicians between February and March 2014 in lieu of performing in his own show. Clips from the show also became the most watched YouTube magic clips in the history of the site, with more than 15 million views. In the show, <mask> revealed the secrets behind some of his illusions to the audience. This included the "Lord of Illusions" trick, where he revealed that he had the swords in a preset order so that he could avoid them. The episode featuring this illusion also includes a meeting between <mask> and his team discussing a problem with the trick and how to ensure it does not happen again. Phenomenon
Starting in October 2007, he appeared as a judge on Phenomenon with Uri Geller.In a CNN interview about the show, he told Larry King "no one has the ability, that I'm aware of, to do anything supernatural, psychic, talk to the dead. And that was what I said I was going to do with Phenomenon. If somebody goes on that show and claims to have supernatural psychic ability, I'm going to bust [him] live and on television." On the October 31, 2007 episode of the reality show Phenomenon, paranormalist Jim Callahan performed a summoning, purportedly of deceased author Raymond Hill, to help discover the contents of a locked box.

This led to an argument between Callahan and <mask>, during which Callahan walked toward <mask> and called him an "ideological bigot", with the two pulled apart as the show promptly went to a commercial break. <mask> has since revealed the contents of one envelope and at the unveiling he challenged Geller one more time.Geller responded, "Although we were born one day apart - I was born on the 20th of December and you on the 19th - a lot of years between us - 40 years, you were one year old when I came out with my spoon bending..." <mask> <mask> cut him off at this point, saying, "I guess this is a 'no,'" and proceeded to open the envelope. The envelope contained an index card with the numbers "911" printed on it for September 11, 2001. <mask>'s explanation was this: "If on 9-10 somebody could have predicted that 9-11 was going to happen, they could have saved thousands of lives". The other envelope's contents were scheduled to be revealed on the first episode of Season 4 of Criss Angel: Mindfreak. Stage shows

One of the best goalscorers in the history of the club and a football legend who retired five years ago once again returned to Gradski vrt venue. This time as a president of Osijek football club.

Since then, NK Osijek fell in financial and administrative problems followed by poor sports results in years to come.At the expense of his fearless will to help NK Osijek he left a comfortable life and a lucrative management job accepting the offered position of presidency from the club. From day one of his professional football career retirement, <mask> placed himself at the club's disposal and it was an opportunity given after five years of waiting. At first, his name was mentioned in the context of the sports director, but after the repeated refusal of presidency from local city businessmen and sponsors, this difficult assignment was eventually offered to Špehar. The job of sports director would be a natural follow-up for a successful former football player such as Špehar, but with no one willing to accept the presidency Špehar felt the obligation and duty to respond to appeal call from the club. As a politically neutral person with no ties to political parties, <mask> was seen as someone capable to attract new people, new ideas and new investments of those who have been avoiding the club so far. His plan of presidency was focused on three main issues. First, the rise in home attendance, increasing the numbers of club supporters and spectators at home ground played matches.Second, achieve sports results needed for European competition qualification at the end of Prva HNL season. Third, to compete equally alongside Dinamo and Hajduk as a club of great tradition as NK Osijek deserves. First move Špehar made as a president of NK Osijek was a call addressed to all club legends and former football players including Davor Šuker, Nenad Bjelica and Marko Babić for a help in administering the club. He announced his office and club wide open to anybody of good will and love for the club, especially to current and former sports and working community of NK Osijek. He was determined to change

Špehar was endured by promise from both city of Osijek and club sponsors in desire to carry on with support towards the Osijek football club. The official handover ceremony of presidential office to <mask> took place on 29 August 2010.With <mask> as president and Gordan Matković as general director, for a position of sport director Goran Popović was named, another NK Osijek football legend with more than a 400 overall appearances for the club, but his placement at the function of sport director was one of a formal act only because <mask>'s condition to take over the club was to define the scope of his work together within the job done by the sport director with contract endorsement. NK Osijek board accepted the agreement and authorized legal approval for <mask> who was finally set and ready for his role as the president of his beloved Osijek. He did not hesitate too much to accept the diligent task as three generations of Špehar family have already been included in NK Osijek for more than fifty years without interruption at the time being. That is way <mask> took it very personally and emotionally, considering Osijek not just as a simple club but as his way of life. For those reasons, unlike his predecessors, he took even more obligations in his will to demonstrate a new type of presidency being at club's disposal 24 hours a day. Announcing many changes, Špehar's goal was to return fans to the stands and club legends to Gradski vrt publicly pointing out that there is no place for politics in the club, stating his role to be only as one of a sportsman and athlete with no interest of politics. Gathering money funds for the club proper functioning was not a simple assignment, but <mask> did not allow himself to be discouraged by knocking on every door in the city asking for help from anyone who likes Osijek.The club

As a president, in October 2010 <mask> signed a professional contract with his son, a 16.5-year-old <mask>, a captain of the Croatia U17 football team who in a short while scored three out of four team goals in three matches played in qualifying tournament which took place in Croatia from 27 September till 2 October 2010 thus helping Croatia U17 football team to qualify to the next round, so called Elite Round of 2011 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. Due to over repeated persisting of NK Osijek football academy director Miroslav Žitnjak for a quiet some time and a first team coach Branko Karačić demanded for such a player to be alongside first team football players, it was an act of proper time decision to offer his son, Dino, a professional contract. Meanwhile, club academy board decided to transfer young Špehar from cadet age to junior age team. After chief of staff in Gradski vrt, manager Karačić last request form in October, Špehar finally signed a contract continuing so the legacy of Špehar's family tradition and loyalty towards NK Osijek.With a signed professional contract, after more than six years of playing for the various younger categories of NK Osijek and scoring more than 300 goals even though Dino was not a striker, he was soon transferred to NK Osijek first team. Špehar as president with the function of sport director was responsible for managing the football squad players. In his line of work, he was the one who proposed and signed the contracts with potential new players or renewing the old ones, but in this case, as he was a players father, he made an exception

The feeling for Špehar was magnificent, as a father, signing a contract with his son, who was well on its way to become the star of NK Osijek, the player on which the club will build the future and ultimately with no shame or discomfort make a profit. As a president of NK Osijek, Špehar was pleased to finally sign a true playmaker for the club, the one that is been missing for years. He was aware of pressure, a constant loupe from public at Gradski vrt under which Dino will play, so Špehar decided to guide his son through physical and psychical progress by individually working with him at private training sessions advancing so in Dino's football and field skills to prepare him for upcoming challenges. After all, when <mask> was starting his career at NK Osijek, he found himself in similar situation, due to be on account of his father, a former NK Osijek goalkeeper at the time being.Špehar smoothly turned down the official Bayern bid of €300,000 in late summer 2010 for one of the best young Croatian football players, a product of NK Osijek youth academy, <mask>, stating Dino has to prove himself first at the club and in Prva HNL before moving on board. <mask> was confident in his bid refusal due to large number of scouts that were already scouting young Špehar and replied to Bayern that they should add another zero to the bid.

It was no secret that <mask> initially gave his vote to Vlatko Marković at the elections as someone who was already managing CFF well. At that point Marković by Špehar own opinion was a legally elected president of CFF. At first, <mask> was not pleased with his candidacy openly reaching public as it was spoken in private company of his friends. However, <mask> felt comfortable enough to lead CFF due to his achievements and lifetime spent in football which enriched his football knowledge.One of requirements for becoming a candidate was to be submitted by just one (out of 21) football county committees, thus showing support from all its corresponding football clubs and its working community. Špehar was counting on support from its local, Osijek-Baranja county and city of Osijek football community submitting vote. Unfortunately for Špehar, another well-known and already pre-arranged candidate for CFF presidential office, Davor Šuker, who was backed up by Croatian most powerful element in football, Dinamo's Zdravko Mamić and by 75-year-old Vlatko Marković own made promise of promotion by the end of year given to Šuker who was also Osijek born footballer and NK Osijek football legend Špehar was from the beginning in a difficult situation.
