Tulsa-based saxophonist and composer Denny Morouse refers to the players on his new disc as "world-class," and he's not wrong. They include the great jazz trumpeter Randy Brecker, as well as renowned Brazilian performers Romero Lubambo (guitar), Helio Alves (piano), Nilson Matta (bass) and Duduka Da Fonseca (drums).
"When we got to New York, Nilson, who was the [disc's] co-producer, kept asking me, `Is she good? Can she sing?' recalls Morouse. "He mentioned getting some other singers, great singers, but I just think Annie is better.
Morouse first heard Buthod – who's worked with the likes of Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Jimmy Heath, and Maiysha, among many others -- playing for a festival on Tulsa's Cherry Street with a band that included Ellicott on vocals.
Given Morouse's life in music, it probably takes something special to blow his mind. A native of the Pittsburgh, Pa. area, be began playing professionally at the age of 14, eventually going out on the road with jazz great Art Blakey. In 1972, he replaced David Sanborn in Stevie Wonder's band Wonderlove, becoming its bandleader and touring internationally with Wonder for the next three years. His resume, which can be found at www.dennymorouse.com , features a very impressive list of credits studded with names that include Astrud Gilberto, Etta James, Aerosmith, Taj Mahal, and Michael Jackson, as well as the soundtracks for the films Animal House and Fame.
The cover tunes on his new CD, subtitled "Samba and Jazz," reflects the breadth of Morouse's musical experience, including, in addition to the two Ellicott vocals mentioned earlier, "The Nearness of You," "When I Fall in Love," "Tenor Madness" by Sonny Rollins, and "Naima" by John Coltrane.
Sadly, the title turned out to have another application as well. The disc's executive producer, William Winter, died just a few weeks after the CD's release, and Morouse notes that the CD is dedicated to him.
The Denny Morouse CD release party, featuring Morouse on saxophone, William Buthod on piano, and Annie Ellicott on vocals, is set to begin at 5p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 at the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame, located in downtown Tulsa's Jazz Depot, 111 E. First St. Copies of Dancing with You after You've Gone will be on sale at that time.

Note: The entire piece is an original painting with the exception of the small lithograph center which has also been hand embellished by Peter Max. Stamp Peter Max and cataloged on verso for Authenticity.
Biography: Peter Max was born in Berlin, but spent the first nine years of his life in China and one year in Tibet. His family then traveled to Africa, Israel, Europe, and finally settled in the United States. In New York Max studied at the Art Students League, Pratt Institute, and the School of Visual Arts.
After completing his studies he opened a design studio and in the next few years won more than sixty-five awards for product, fashion, food, book, and poster designs. In 1964 he closed the studio to go into "creative retreat." It was then that he began making the colorful, mind-expanding silkscreens which are his hallmark.
After Max's second retreat, from 1972 until 1976, Max "reappeared", with a book of fifty paintings, in honor of each state, dedicated to the Bicentennial. Max has had approximately forty museum shows internationally, set up under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution, and more than fifty gallery shows worldwide. His works appear in the prominent collections of many museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Max's originals have sold for more than $50,000.00.

Abstract Scholarship of Cold War Hollywood has focused on the Blacklist Era. During the late 1940s and 1950s, the House Committee of Un-American Activities subpoenaed several members of the Hollywood Left to recant their political leanings. Many works describe this period as a failed Liberalism. Although this did happen to many members of the Hollywood Left, this narrative discredits the success of other liberal actors. This paper will prove there needs to be a focus on the success of political celebrity icons in Cold War scholarship. By taking a case study approach, this paper will use Charlie Chaplin, Harry Belafonte, Jane Fonda, and Martin Sheen to shed light on how members of the Hollywood Left embraced activism and avoided conformity. Chaplin's story will be used as an antithesis to the blacklist narrative. Despite his departure from the United States, Chaplin maintained American success. Belafonte's story will be used to reveal how a black icon was able to promote inclusivity in Hollywood and physically get involved in movements to advance the lives of colored youth. Fonda's story will expose how far the government would go to limit the voice of the Hollywood Left. Fonda educated herself on world affairs to speak out against injustices. Sheen's story exemplifies the end of the Cold War and how his government interference was limited in scope compared to the other actors. Sheen used his art to become political. He actively participated in combating injustices that he learned about from his films. It is hoped that the evidence provides a pathway for future scholarship. Although this study takes a social and intellectual lens, there is still room for a political and international perspective to assess the impact of the Hollywood Left in terms of policy and reform.

While being one of the Shining Races does not automatically grant one magical abilities, it does mean that every member of the race can--with the proper training and effort--tap into the magical energies of the world. Other races can call upon certain, limited magics using techniques such as fetishes, alchemy, ancestor worship, and spirit pacts. These are known as the Forsaken Races and are generally looked on with pity, scorn, or distrust, depending.
It should also be noted that races with 'half' in their name are referred to as such because they are universally sterile, being unable to propagate. Females from groups with unique names (such as gnomes or bugbears) breed true with males from either parent race or with individuals of their same hybrid group, often leading to independent populations with their own cultural identities.
Note that not all possible crossbreeds are listed, such as the vanishingly rare orc/ogre mix known as scro, either because they do not exist anywhere in a state that would make them a viable PC race or they are too powerful for beginning PCs to select from (such as Half-Dragons or True Lycanthropes).

Jerilderie's Murray Valley Cricket Association Division Two season has officially ended following an 80 run defeat against Katamatite in the semi finals at the Cobram Showgrounds on Saturday.
Katamatite won the toss and decided to bat, with the Demons having some early success with the ball.
Jerilderie bowler Grant Smith (1/24 off five) claimed the wicket of Matt Wright in just the second over before the Tigers settled.
At the drinks break Jerilderie had cause for some optimism when they were able to contain Katamatite to 4/65, and on resumption continued to put pressure on the Tigers batsmen.
But with 10 overs to go and only four down, Katamatite took the long handle to the Jerilderie bowlers, piling on the runs to finish at 8/164.
Glen Edis top scored for Katamatite with 45 runs and was well backed up by Lachlan Sharp (32) and Gus Vantilborg (30).
The most successful bowler for Jerilderie was Mitch A'Vard, picking up three wickets for 22 runs when Katamatite was chasing quick runs.
Other Jerilderie bowlers to snare a wicket were Grant Smith, Fraser Pinnuck, Rory Knight and Adam Boag.
Unfortunately, as has been the case all year, Jerilderie's batting performance has been its Achilles heel, with no one being able to remain at the crease for any length of time and cobble together a reasonable total.
Jerilderie's inning came to an end in the 29th over when they were all out for 84, with equal top scorers for Jerilderie being Fraser Pinnuck and Dylan Henery, both making 16 runs.
All Katamatite bowlers performed admirably, keeping constant pressure on the Jerilderie batsman.
Stefan Nordbye was most impressive with 3/20 off seven overs, closely followed by Sharp who also bamboozled the batsmen to take 3/20 runs off six.

Джованні Корбйонс (, 1 січня 1900, Рим — ?) — італійський футболіст, що грав на позиції захисника. По завершенні ігрової кар'єри — тренер.

Виступав, зокрема, за клуб «Рома».

Ігрова кар'єра

У дорослому футболі дебютував 1918 року виступами за римську команду «Фортітудо», в якій провів три сезони. Протягом 1921—1926 років захищав кольори клубу «Альба». Після чого повернувся у «Фортітудо».

У 1927 році команди «Фортітудо» і «Альба», а також ще один римський колектив «Роман» об'єднались, утворивши клуб «Рома», до складу якого приєднався Джованні. Відіграв за «вовків» наступні п'ять сезонів своєї ігрової кар'єри. В 1928 році став з командою переможцем Кубка КОНІ, турніру, який проводився для клубів, що не потрапили до фінального турніру національного чемпіонату. У фіналі Кубка КОНІ «Рома» зустрічалась з «Моденою». Обидва матчі завершились внічию — 0:0 та 2:2, тому було призначене перегравання у Флоренції. В основний час матчу Корбйонс забив гол з пенальті, але Альфредо Маццоні зрівняв рахунок. У додатковий час на 110-й хвилині матчу перемогу «Ромі» приніс Маріо Буссич.

Згодом з 1930 по 1933 рік грав у складі команд нижчих дивізіонів «Фіорентіна», «Катанія» і «Понтекорвезе».

Завершив кар'єру в клубі «Торрес» в 1935 році, де був граючим тренером.

Кар'єра тренера
Розпочав тренерську кар'єру, ще продовжуючи грати на полі, 1934 року, очоливши тренерський штаб клубу «Торрес». В 1936-1937 роках тренував «Роді».

Після війни двічі очолював клуб «Анконітана» (1947—1948, 1950—1952) та команду «Таранто» в 1948—1949 роках.

How to create a feminine and trendy outfit with white jeans for spring? I'll try to answer that question with an outfit proposal and some tips. Monochrome, neutral and all white looks are trending right now, but florals for spring are timeless. If you want to join these two trends together, why not pair your white jeans with a maxi white floral dress? A floral maxi dress will always have those lovely bohemian vibes and it will automatically make your outfit more feminine. Moreover, if you want your jeans to be more visible, you can always pick a slit maxi dress or a transparent one. If you want to make your outfit more trendy, don't forget to pick up some trendy accessories, like a scarf, a wooden bag, small frame sunglasses and a pair of heels. Bows are another thing that's trending, so why not choose heels with a bow?
If you're opting for a dress with jeans, a good way to wear the scarf trend would be to tie it around your pony tail. That way the scarf won't take the attention from the dress and your neck will be free to don some accessories (layering necklaces is the next big thing). Accessories are always great for achieving a more trendy and relevant look. For a cleaner look, make sure your accessories match the floral print on your white floral dress. For example, this white floral maxi has dark orange and blue details, that match both my scarf and the beige/brown details on the shoe. Wooden and straw accessories go well with everything, and you'll never go wrong with a bag made from natural materials this spring.
WHY IS SHOPPING OUR CLOSETS IMPORTANT?
Nothing is really new in this outfit. I've had all of these items for a while. The only relatively new thing is this dress that I got in a collaboration last summer but I have already worn it a couple of times, so it got some wear. I'm pointing this one because I do think you can look trendy without shopping and spending money. Not saying that you should try to look trendy, but if you enjoy playing with trends, it is worth noting that it can be done by shopping your closet. That's the more environmentally friendly option. For me trends are a nice way to find some inspiration. Sure, when there is a trend that is everywhere, I can get bored out if, but generally speaking I think trends can be fun. Today there are 100 micro trends per season, so it is not hard to find something 'trendy' in our closet? Plus, shopping less is not only good for our wallets, it also helps the environment. Look at it this way, if you buy less items just because they are trending, you'll have more money to invest into other things. Maybe there is a trip you're saving for or a designer bag? Additional benefit of shopping our closets is that we'll get to know the content of our wardrobe better that way. To maximize your closet, you really should take the time and see what you've got in there.
If you ask me, the best trendy bag is the one you already have in your closet. Instead of shopping for new box bag, I found this one in my home. To be honest, it's not a bag at all. It's just a box. Yes, a wooden box. It's the box I keep my sewing tools in. Not the only box I keep my sewing tools in, but one of the main ones. So, now you know. I'm a big fan of not only shopping our closets, but anything in our home. Before you buy anything that is trending, always look around your home. You might already have the trendy 'it' thing and not realize it at all. Recently I was in a designer store and I saw bags just like this box, and I thought to myself- why buy something I already have? I won't blame you if you do decide to buy one of those bags, for they are really cute. Plus, those wooden box bags can be used for storage after the trend dies out. It doesn't hurt to think about environment, because we all know that fast fashion is damaging it. That is why I'm always cheering for shopping one's closet.
How do you like this styling? Do you like wearing white jeans? Do you agree that pairing them with heels and a white dress will make them more feminine? This pair is vintage, and unless I'm mistaken the cut is masculine. I'll need to check the buttons to make sure, but I think these are actually men's white jeans. I often wear men's pants because I like the cut. I never actually bought a pair of boyfriend jeans, I always just stole them from my significant other. I love to steal his vintage pieces.
That would be all for today. As always thank you for reading and visiting. Have a lovely day!
Thank you, leggings and maxi dresses is another great idea.
This is a gorgeous look! Perfect for the warm weather. Great idea using your sewing box as your handbag. It is beautiful and fun.
thank you, I love to reuse things.
So cute, white floral dress!! It's really nice!
thank you Nina, glad you like the dress, have a lovely day too.
Thank you Traude. I think jeans can be worn with all kinds of dresses, I'll make another posts about it in the future.
This is such a great way to remix white denim! You look lovely!
thanks, this spring I'm obsessed with white denim.
thank you so much, I love these heels, I had them for years.
I have my white jeans on repeat this spring! Love how you styled yours with the dress over them!
This is such a coincidence! On my other tab on the browser I have a shopping store opened with white denim in my basket! This blog post comes on a right time :P Love your look!
Ma che bella ideaaaaa, mi sa che te la copio!!! Mi piace tantissimo e penso di avere anche le cose giuste!
Love your version of wearing a maxi dress. Very inspirational. I shopped my closet a few times last week and was pleasantly surprised.
You look absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. I love the combination a lot. Lovely dress there.
You showcase this absolutely beautifully Ivana. I've tried a dress over jeans before one time it turned out okay but the other time it wasn't so great. Finding the right combination of the two makes all the difference which is why I agree, it's great to shop your one closet!
yes, it can take time to find the good balance but it is an interesting look.
This outfit is incredibly glamorous! I love the combination of the dress, trousers and scarf!! The box 'bag' is a wonderful idea!
thank you, it is always good to recycle.
I never thought to pair a maxi dress with a pair of pants.
it is a fun combo.
thank you. I didn't used to own them either but lucikly I found a few vintage pairs.
The proportions of this outfit are so lengthening. I used to pair dresses with jeans all the time but i stopped doing it. You have reminded me to try this look again. I love the idea of going beyond shopping your closet to shopping your home for fashion. It's so smart and sustainable at the same time!
I've never paired jeans and a dress but your ensemble really works. I adore this style and that you used an old wooden box as your handbag.
Are you looking for elegant cocktail long cape dress with cover shoulders? Then Zmilelee is one of the best options you have.
Those white jeans are pretty fab. Love how you styled them!
I love seeing white jeans being paired in different outfits! Oooh, I didn't know the pony tail look would be a big bonus with the overall look. It is neat to see the scarves being used to tie hair up. It is hard to keep up with trends but we need ot find something that works with us. I haven't seen wooden box bags until now! They actually look cool. I love your outfit!
thank you. A pony tail look can look so chic when accessorized with a scarf.
I love your outfit Ivana! You style is so trendy!
thank you so much Pilar.

Review: 'The Flash' Season 5 Episode 15 – "King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd"
"King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd"
Director: Stefan Pleszczynski
Writers: Eric Wallace & Lauren Certo
Starring: Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Danielle Panabaker, Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh, Carlos Valdes, Danielle Nicolet, Audrey Marie Anderson, Dan Payne and Zibby Allen with David Sobolov and David Hayter as the voices of Gorilla Grodd and King Shark
Review by Steve J. Ray
With a title like "King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd" we pretty much knew what we'd be getting in this week's episode of The Flash. With the metahuman cure complete, all that Barry and the team needed was a volunteer to try it out on. Tracking down marine biologist Tanya Lamden, and Earth 2's Shay Lamden, could be the only way forward. Shay had been transformed into the fearsome King Shark, so could be the prefect guinea pig… shark… test subject.
To Cure, Or Not To Cure
Barry Allen really crosses over into a very grey moral area in this episode. Is it right to "Cure" someone against their will, even if it's for the common good? While there is no doubt that King Shark is a danger to all around him, is taking away his choice the correct way forward? Has Barry's fear of Cicada, and desire to end his menace, corrupted him? Both as a hero and as a human being?
This is a really tough question. Both Cicada and King Shark have hurt or killed countless innocents, but is that a valid reason to inject them with a kill or cure serum, against their will? I know that if a metahuman murderer had attempted to kill my wife, I'd probably go to any extreme to stop them, but wouldn't that make me just as bad as them?
On A Mission From Grodd
Grodd's part in the ongoing drama is essential. It would've been very easy to make this episode a monster vs. monster slug fest for the ages, but the Flash writers have instead constructed a wonderful, heartfelt character piece instead. Don't get me wrong, the ensuing battle between the two behemoths is a sight to behold, but there's a lot more to it than gratuitous violence for violence's sake.
Cisco, Caitlin and Barry come into conflict with each other on a moral standpoint, and this battle of the spirit is every bit as engaging as the fight between the monsters. The struggle between fighting one's conscience and doing the right thing also leads to a momentous act of heroism and self sacrifice from possibly the last character we would ever expect it from.
Jumping The Shark
Whilst the CGI was good on the whole, there are moments in the episode which end up looking cartoonish. What saves it, though, are the stellar performances by the cast, and the truly brilliant guest stars.
It's always great when one of the characters from Arrow, Legends or Supergirl turns up on The Flash, and this week's appearance by Lyla, played by the talented Audrey Marie Anderson, was both welcome and necessary to the plot.
It was also absolutely fantastic seeing Jesse L. Martin back as Joe West. The sub-plot involving Iris and her father coming to terms with Cicada's attack (and the timeline shenanigans from "Cause And XS") was great. I'm so glad that Jesse's back injury is on the mend, and that he's returned to the show.
Dodgy special effects aside, "King Shark vs. Gorilla Grodd" was a really great episode. Tom Cavanagh once again showed that Sherloque is far more than just a know-it-all detective, and the themes of family and love conquering all were very well handled. Guest stars Zibby Allen (no relation to Barry) and Dan Payne were also wonderful as the inter-dimensionally challenged star-crossed lovers. This is a fish-tale to rival The Shape Of Water.
With lessons learned, love conquering all and a stunning example of self sacrifice, the future seems to be clear. With the sad news of Arrow ending after a ten episode mini-season at the end of 2019, one cannot help but feel that the theme of putting others ahead of oneself will be one that continues to recur across the Arrowverse. We still don't know what deal Oliver made with The Monitor in "Elseworlds" to save Flash and Supergirl, but with Arrow ending soon, the answer may be a lot clearer than we thought… or wanted.
Next week's episode is entitled "Failure Is An Orphan" and sounds intriguing. See you all next week, Flash fans.

Derived from milk, fruit, vegetables and other plants, Lactic Acid is one of the most popular Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA0 found in anti-acne and anti-aging products and chemicals peels. Like other AHAs, Lactic Acid has been known to help reduce acne breakouts and the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. What differentiates it from others, however, is its reputation. Noticeably gentler than Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid is effective on acne-prone, dry and mature skin types without irritating the skin (some formulations are even gentle enough for rosacea).
It's hardly a recent discovery though; goat's milk was used as an ancient lactic acid spa treatment, and legend has it that Cleopatra soaked in milk baths sprinkled in with rose petals.
It exfoliates without irritating the skin the way a traditional granular scrub would. It's an anti-acne and anti-aging ingredient all in one, keeping skin in check and leaving it baby smooth to the touch.
Lactic Acid is the perfect stepping stone from which you can work your way up to a stronger AHA like Glycolic Acid; it's also a great way to help prepare your skin for a chemical peel.
Like all AHAs, Lactic Acid increases the skin's sensitivity to the sun. (AHAs work to slough off the outermost layer of skin, leaving this new layer vulnerable to UV rays.) Be sure to take extra care by using a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day.

Q: Javascript Drag and drop in windows phone 7.5 I'm trying to get drag and drop functionality to work in a windows 7.5 phone.
Initially i tried using the jquery ui draggable which worked in all browsers except windows 7.5.
Later on exploring further, i found out that there are no touchstart, touchend and touchmove events in windows.
So i tried getting it to work using mousedown, mousemove events which shockingly were firing. But they donot fire in a proper sequence. (mousemove fires before mousedown).
Nor did the dragstart and dragend events work.
I need to get this to work. Do you have any suggestions ?
/*Eg1:does not work*/
$("#draggable").draggable();

/*Eg2:This event does not fire*/
 $("#draggable").bind("touchstart touchmove touchend", function(){
alert("touch events supported");})

/*Eg3: In this case, mousemove fires before mousedown.*/
$("#draggable").bind("mousedown", function(){
alert("mousedown");});

$("#draggable").bind("mousemove", function(){
alert("mousemove");});

A: I only have experience working with Javascript in Windows Phone 8 which uses IE 10 (as opposed to IE 9 in WP7.5 and WP7.8) but you could give my approach a try.
In WP8 (IE10) Microsoft supports the pointer events MSPointerUp MSPointerMove MSPointerDown instead of touchstart, touchmove and touchend events. Try using these to see if they work.
In the example I had created, however, I did not even need to use those proprietary events as IE 10 happily used the standard mouse events (mouseup mousemove mousedown) and worked well to an extent. I did not have any problem with the order of events (like you stated in the question). The main problem that arose for me while dragging was that the mousemove event stopped being triggered (by the browser) and the browser instead started panning the page leaving my dragged elements in limbo state (no mousemove or mouseup triggered). Using event.preventDefault() did not help either as it did not prevent the page from panning. To overcome this problem I went through Microsoft's documentation about their touch events and came across this CSS line.
-ms-touch-action: none;

I applied this on my elements to be dragged and my problem was solved. You can read all about the above proprietary CSS property here. Be careful not to apply this property to the entire body of the page (I had done that earlier) as it prevents the default browser behaviour of page panning and zooming. As I said apply it only on the elements to be dragged and it works.
Yet again this is my experience for WP 8. I do not know if it works for previous versions of Windows Phone.

With Jaspersoft software on AWS, the turnaround time and the customization we can achieve for customers is probably a tenfold improvement.
Steve Smith, director of technical project management and business intelligence
Care Logistics Improves Healthcare Data Visibility with TIBCO and AWS
Key features of Care Logistics' Command Center platform include individualized digital displays of critical reports on the patient journey, hospital capacity, wait times, diagnostics, length of stay, and more. The company also wanted to provide fast, secure, dynamic, semi-public display options aligned with the industry's drive toward more informed value-based care as opposed to the fee-for-service model.
According to Steve Smith, director of technical project management and business intelligence, "Previously, if we wanted a new board to go up for our customer, our software development engineering team had to go through the whole software development process. There was a long turnaround time."
The Care Logistics team decided to leverage untapped potential in its partnership with TIBCO, adding responsive TIBCO Jaspersoft capabilities to its platform. Equipped with more compelling visual analytics and reporting capabilities, the company developed a new feature, EmpowerVision, offering immersive, secure, configurable visualizations.
The TIBCO platform's ad hoc reporting, data visualization, and secure dashboards were all containerized and hosted in the AWS cloud to create EmpowerVision for the Command Center.
In addition, new and improved Command Center dashboards offer more types of information, such as electronic health records and patient logistics, meeting each hospital and health system's unique needs.
The EmpowerVision feature improves real-time visibility through dynamic, configurable, and semi-public dashboards—fueling data-driven insights with ease and security. Instead of needing individual laptops in group meetings, hospital staff can view dashboards on large monitors, which keeps patient information secure and private, while also empowering necessary stakeholders nurses, doctors, and patient transporters—with access to the right information at the right time.
With TIBCO's added functionality, Care Logistics developers have streamlined display creation because they don't need to build views from scratch. They can build customized, easy-to-maintain analytics dashboards much faster than before. Smith notes, "With Jaspersoft software on AWS, the turnaround time and the customization we can achieve for customers is probably a tenfold improvement."
Looking ahead, Care Logistics plans to connect its dashboards to its data lake to fuel more insights for customers and continue to improve its healthcare offerings. As more information is stored in the data lake, the company can report on more activities happening at healthcare providers' businesses. This ultimately helps hospitals and healthcare systems save time and money, make the best decisions possible, and save lives.
Smith concludes, "Through EmpowerVision, we can configure the customer board to display almost any data we have access to. We are now more dynamic, configurable, and more responsive than ever before."

Limitation application: material fact within means of knowledge
•February 5, 2016
•Negligence, Personal Injuries - Limitation Period, Personal Injuries - Work
Dent v Langs Building Supplies Pty Ltd [2015] QSC 368
Justice Burns rejected the application to extend the limitation period under the Limitations of Actions Act 1974 (the Act) based on the material fact was within the applicants means of knowledge of the applicant, Ms Christine Dent. Ms Dent injured her back on 16 June 2011 and was unable to return to work and became dependent on a full time carer.
Ms Dent's submitted that she did not understand the nature and effect of her injury or that she was permanently disabled until her appointments with orthopaedic surgeons in August and September 2013.
Burns J:
[40] By s 31(2)(a) of the Act, the discretion to extend the limitation period is enlivened if two requirements are met. First, that a material fact of a decisive character relating to the right of action of the applicant was not within the means of knowledge of the applicant until a date after the commencement of the year last preceding the expiration of the period of limitation for the action. Secondly, that there is evidence to establish a right of action. If those requirements are satisfied then the court has a discretion to extend the limitation period for 12 months from the time when the material fact was within the applicant's means of knowledge. Usually, the discretion will then be exercised in favour of an extension unless there is relevant prejudice
[41] Here, it was not submitted that there will be any relevant prejudice if an extension is granted and nor was it submitted that Ms Dent had failed to point to the existence of evidence which, it can reasonably be expected, will be available at trial and will, if unopposed by other evidence, be sufficient to prove her case.14 As such, this application is concerned with whether Ms Dent has satisfied the onus on her to establish that a material fact of a decisive character was not within her means of knowledge until she received advice from Dr Cheung on 14 August 2013. If so, the limitation period may be extended to 14 August 2014 and, in that event, the Notice of Claim for Damages will have been served within time.15
[42] As Thomas J held in Dick v University of Queensland, the correct approach to deciding an application such as this is to first inquire whether the facts of which the applicant was unaware were material facts. If they were, the next step is to ascertain whether they were of a decisive character. If so, it must be ascertained whether those facts were within the means of knowledge of the applicant before the specified date.
[43] In the present case, Ms Dent relies on s 30(1)(a)(iv) of the Act, which informs that a material fact relating to a right of action includes the "nature and extent of the personal injury". On her behalf it was submitted that, until she saw Dr Cheung on 14 August 2013, she did not appreciate the nature and extent of her lower back injury. In particular, it was submitted that Ms Dent did not understand that her incapacities would be permanent, that they could not be satisfactorily addressed by surgery or any other treatment, and that she was for all intents and purposes commercially unemployable. I have no hesitation in accepting Ms Dent's evidence in these respects. These were material facts relating to Ms Dent's right of action and in respect of which she was unaware until 14 August 2013.
[44] The next question, though, is whether such facts were of a decisive character. Section 30(1)(b) of the Act provides that material facts relating to a right of action are of a decisive character if, and only if, a reasonable person knowing those facts and having taken the appropriate advice on those facts would regard those facts as showing: "(i) that an action on the right of action would (apart from the effect of the expiration of a period of limitation) have a reasonable prospect of success and of resulting in an award of damages sufficient to justify the bringing of an action on the right of action; and (ii) that the person whose means of knowledge is in question ought in the person's own interest and taking the person's circumstances into account to bring an action on the right of action."
[45] Both of the above conditions must be satisfied before a material fact may properly be regarded as "decisive". Each condition must be considered from the point of view of a reasonable person who has taken appropriate advice on those facts.
[46] In determining whether a newly learned fact has the necessary quality of decisiveness an applicant "must show that without the newly learned fact or facts he would not, even with the benefit of appropriate advice, have previously appreciated that he had a worthwhile action to pursue and should in his own interests pursue it".17 As Connolly J said in Sugden v Crawford:
"Implicit in the legislation is a negative proposition that time will not be extended where the requirements of s 30(b) are satisfied. Without the emergence of the newly discovered fact or facts, that is to say, where it is apparent, without those facts, that a reasonable man, appropriately advised, would have brought the action on the facts already in his possession and the newly discovered facts merely go to an enlargement of his prospective damages beyond a level which, without the newly discovered facts, would be sufficient to justify the bringing of the action."
[47] In a similar vein are the following observations of the Court of Appeal in Honour v Faminco Mining Services Pty Ltd & Anor:
"It follows that the material fact is not of a decisive character if, before knowing that fact a reasonable person would know facts that that person would regard (having taken appropriate advice) as showing that an action would (ignoring the effect of limitation period) have a reasonable prospect of success, and of resulting in an award of damages sufficient to justify the bringing of an action on the right of action; and that the potential claimant ought, in that person's own interests and taking that person's circumstances into account, bring an action on the right of action. However, if, without knowledge of that fact, a reasonable person, having taken appropriate advice, would not regard the facts known to that person as showing that an action would (ignoring the effect of the limitation period) have a reasonable prospect of success, and of resulting in an award of damages sufficient to justify the bringing of an action, then the fact is of a decisive character. Further, if, without knowledge of the material fact, a reasonable person, having taken appropriate advice, would not regard the facts known to that person as showing that the potential claimant ought in that person's own interest and taking that person's own circumstances into account, bring an action, then the material fact is not of a decisive character."
[48] The evidence establishes that, prior to her attendance on Dr Cheung, Ms Dent had not worked since 16 June 2011 in consequence of the exacerbation she sustained on that date. Although the medical certificates left open the possibility that Ms Dent had some capacity for work – up to 15 hours per fortnight – it is difficult to accept that such a possibility was at all realistic given the chronicity and severity of her symptoms of pain and immobility. The fact of the matter, in any event, is that Ms Dent was unable to carry out remunerative employment because of her injuries and, in consequence, she lost income that she otherwise would have earned from her employment. That loss was accruing at a rate of between $650 and $740 net per week. Even confining any assessment to a two-year period post-incident, Ms Dent's net loss was between $67,600 and $76,960. Furthermore, from at least the middle of 2012, Ms Dent was receiving assistance from a person described as a "full-time paid carer". Using the rate ($30) and weekly hours (40) advanced in the Notice of Claim, the cost of her paid care was $1,200 per week. Also, from the same time, Ms Dent had become so immobile in consequence of her injuries that she required a wheelchair for "long walks".
[49] Ms Dent deposed to her expectation that, once she saw a specialist, she would receive surgical or other treatment for her lower back which would enable her to return to work. At one point when she was cross-examined, Ms Dent said that she believed any such treatment would return her "back to 100 per cent." Although I accept that Ms Dent believed that she could be treated sufficiently to return to work and, further, that her belief in that regard was reinforced by statements made to her by her general practitioner, I am unable to accept that Ms Dent believed that what was in prospect was some form of treatment that would completely address her symptoms. Indeed, in 2012, Ms Dent expressed concerns to her psychologist that suggest to the contrary, and the feature that she renewed her forklift license in order to pursue a different line of work must be taken as some acknowledgement on her part that she might not be able to return to the type of heavy, physical work she had performing up to 16 June 2011. At the very minimum, Ms Dent's future earning capacity depended on the success of whatever treatment might be offered to her when she was eventually seen by an orthopaedic surgeon.
[50] In any event, I must consider the discretion from the point of view of a reasonable person who has taken appropriate advice on the facts I have summarised in the preceding two paragraphs. To my mind, a reasonable person, taking appropriate advice on those facts, would have appreciated that he or she had a worthwhile action to pursue and should in his or her own interests pursue it. To adopt the expression used by Keane JA in Castillon v P & O Ports Limited (No 2), there was a "critical mass of information" within Ms Dent's means of knowledge prior to 14 August 2013 which justified bringing the action. I am accordingly not persuaded that the material facts on which Ms Dent relies were of a "decisive character" within the meaning of s 30(1)(b) of the Act. They merely went to the enlargement of what was already a worthwhile cause of action.
[51] For Ms Dent, it was submitted that a "two year loss of income just doesn't justify an action these days." In this regard, particular reliance was placed on the decision of McMeekin J in Barnes v Smith & Ors. It was also submitted that the legislative restrictions which now exist in relation to awards of damages have affected the extent to which some components of damage as well as costs may be recovered.
[52] I reject these submissions. No evidence was placed before me to support the contention that Ms Dent should not, because of legislative restrictions or for some other reason, be regarded as having a worthwhile action to pursue prior to 14 August 2013. Barnes was a different case. The facts of that matter were that the applicant was injured in 2005 and kept working until 2010. After ceasing work, she sought medical advice and was eventually told that she would need to undergo surgery. Shortly stated, the applicant in that case did not have the significant loss of income, long-term paid care or severe manifestation of symptoms which are all present in this case.
[53] My conclusion that the material facts on which Ms Dent relies were not of a "decisive character" within the meaning of s 30(1)(b) of the Act is sufficient to dispose of this application. However, for completeness, I add that I am also not persuaded that the facts on which Ms Dent now relies were outside her means of knowledge prior to 14 August 2013.
[54] By s 30(1)(c) of the Act, a fact will be outside a person's means of knowledge if, but only if: "(i) the person does not know the fact at that time; and (ii) as far as the fact is able to be found out by the person—the person has taken all reasonable steps to find out the fact before that time."
[55] This provision does not import a "reasonable person" test. As Keane JA explained in NF v State of Queensland:
"It is to be emphasised that s 30(1)(c) does not contemplate a state of knowledge of material facts attainable in the abstract, either by the exercise of "all reasonable steps", or by the efforts of a reasonable person. It speaks of a state of knowledge attainable by an actual person who has taken all reasonable steps. The actual person postulated by s 30(1)(c) as the person who has taken all reasonable steps, is the particular person who has suffered particular personal injuries. Whether an applicant for an extension of time has taken all reasonable steps to find out a fact can only be answered by reference to what can reasonably be expected from the actual person in the circumstances of the applicant. It seems to me that, if that person has taken all the reasonable steps that she is able to take to find out the fact, and has not found it out, that fact is not within her means of knowledge for the purpose of s 30(1)(c) of the Act."
[56] With those principles in mind, I cannot agree that Ms Dent took all reasonable steps to find out the facts she learned when she was examined by Dr Cheung. After her motor vehicle accident, Ms Dent retained lawyers to act on her behalf with respect to that claim. In the case of this claim, she did not approach lawyers until after she saw Dr Cheung. Why she took such a different approach here is not satisfactorily explained. True it is that Ms Dent was waitlisted to see an orthopaedic surgeon, but I do not consider it reasonable for her to have chosen not to seek legal advice given the serious effects of the June 2011 exacerbation of her injury. Had she done so, a specialist medical assessment of her injuries would have undoubtedly followed. Conclusion
[57] For these reasons, the application must be dismissed.

Sie wollten damit dem geringen Gewicht entgegenwirken, das die Kultur bis dahin im Internet hatte. Zusammen mit Adam Cwientzek und Niclas Seeliger gründeten sie mit eigenem Startkapital von 60.000 DM die Perlentaucher Medien GmbH als Betreibergesellschaft des neuen Portals. Seit dem 15. März 2000 ist die Webseite online.

In der Form lehnten sich die Gründer an die Presseschauen an, die Chervel als Kulturkorrespondent der Süddeutschen Zeitung in Paris im französischen Hörfunk schätzen gelernt hatte: Die Übersicht sollte eher in der Art einer "persönlichen Kolumne eines Journalisten" angelegt sein, der Zeitungen durchblättert und dabei spontane und durchaus subjektive Empfehlungen gibt, und sich damit von den bis dahin üblichen "amtlichen Verlautbarungen" absetzen, wie man sie etwa aus dem Deutschlandfunk kannte.

Das Projekt, das Chervel selbst fünf Jahre nach der Gründung als "kleinen Familienbetrieb" bezeichnete, finanzierte sich ursprünglich ausschließlich über Internetwerbung, die als Werbebannern eingebunden oder in dem regelmäßig erscheinenden Newsletter enthalten ist, der per E-Mail frei verbreitet wird. Die Angebote werden vor allem von Buchverlagen genutzt. Die werktägliche Presseschau "Heute in den Feuilletons" wurde zudem bis Juli 2016 von Spiegel Online in einer Kooperation übernommen. Die Einnahmen aus der Verlagswerbung waren im Lauf der Zeit rückläufig. Seit 2018 besteht eine Kooperation mit dem Dienst Steady, über den die Leser für das weiterhin frei abrufbare Angebot freiwillig einen regelmäßigen Betrag zahlen können. Nach Angaben des Perlentauchers wurden darüber im Jahr 2019 monatlich netto etwa 5000 Euro eingenommen. Im Dezember 2021 hätten auf diesem Weg 1983 Mitglieder insgesamt 9299 Euro pro Monat für den Perlentaucher gezahlt, was fast dem Spendenziel entsprach. Seit 2019 betreibt das Unternehmen zudem einen eigenen Onlineshop eichendorff21, der vorwiegend anspruchsvollere Literatur anbietet.

Grimme Online Award, 2003
Drei Jahre nach ihrer Gründung wurde die Website 2003 mit dem Grimme Online Award Medienjournalismus ausgezeichnet. Die Jury bezeichnete Perlentaucher als ein "einzigartige[s] 'Journal der Journale'".

"signandsight.com", 2005–2012
Zum fünfjährigen Bestehen des Portals im Jahr 2005 wurde mit Förderung der Kulturstiftung des Bundes die englischsprachige Schwesterseite signandsight.com ins Leben gerufen, die sich an ein internationales Publikum richtete und mit einer eigenen Feuilletonschau, Übersetzungen ausgewählter Artikel und Themen-Schwerpunkten einen Einblick in das zeitgenössische Kulturleben und die gesellschaftliche Debatte in Deutschland geben wollte. Nachdem die Förderung durch die Bundeskulturstiftung in Höhe von 1,4 Millionen Euro im September 2007 ausgelaufen war, wurde das Portal noch mehrere Jahre lang durch jährlich 30.000 Euro von Jakob Augstein und der Rudolf-Augstein-Stiftung unterstützt. Am 28. März 2012 gab die Redaktion die Einstellung von signandsight.com aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen bekannt.

Debatte zum Islam in Europa, 2007
Im Januar 2007 veröffentlichte Pascal Bruckner auf signandsight.com eine Polemik mit dem Titel "Enlightenment fundamentalism or racism of the anti-racists?". Bruckner wandte sich in scharfen Worten gegen Ian Burumas Buch "Die Grenzen der Toleranz – Der Mord an Theo van Gogh", aber fast noch mehr gegen Timothy Garton Ashs Essay über das Buch, "Islam in Europe", der zuerst in der New York Review of Books erschienen war.

Auf diese Polemik antworteten von Januar bis April 2007 unter anderem Ian Buruma, Timothy Garton Ash, Necla Kelek, Ulrike Ackermann, Adam Krzemiński, Bassam Tibi und viele andere. Die Debatte fand ein weltweites Presseecho und wurde im November 2007 als Buch publiziert.

Presseschau für eurotopics, 2005–2008
Von 2005 bis zum April 2008 betreute der Perlentaucher gemeinsam mit dem Magazin Courrier international die Presseschau der Seite eurotopics, ein Webangebot der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung. Nachdem im Juni 2007 der damalige freie Mitarbeiter für eurotopics, Olaf Sundermeyer, in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung einen Artikel gegen die Arbeit des Perlentauchers veröffentlicht hatte, ließ der Präsident der Bundeszentrale Thomas Krüger das Projekt im Oktober 2007 neu ausschreiben. Daraufhin kam das Netzwerk für Osteuropa-Berichterstattung e. V. (n-ost) zum Zuge, ein auf Osteuropa spezialisiertes Netzwerk von etwa 200 internationalen Journalisten und Medien, dem auch Sundermeyer angehört. Beiratsmitglied von n-ost war zudem der FAZ-Mitherausgeber Werner D'Inka. Er versicherte, von der Bewerbung nur "beiläufig in meiner Funktion als Beirat" erfahren und erst danach mit Sundermeyer Kontakt aufgenommen zu haben. Perlentaucher verlor damit seinen bis dahin größten Auftrag in Höhe von 560.000 Euro.

Rechtsstreitigkeiten von Presseverlegern, 2006–2011
Der Perlentaucher und zwei große deutsche Zeitungsverlage trugen zwischen 2006 und 2011 eine gerichtliche Auseinandersetzung durch alle Instanzen über mögliche Urheberrechtsverletzungen aus.

Durch den Weiterverkauf von Zusammenfassungen aus dem Feuilleton an die Online-Buchhändler Amazon und buecher.de sahen Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung und Süddeutsche Zeitung ihre Urheberrechte verletzt. Ihre Klagen auf Unterlassung und Schadenersatz wurden jedoch am 23. November 2006 vom Landgericht Frankfurt am Main und am 11. Dezember 2007 auch in zweiter Instanz abgewiesen. Die Abstracts der Buchrezensionen seien als freie Benutzungen der Originalrezensionen zulässig (§ 24 UrhG). Ebenso wenig verstoße ihre gewerbliche Nutzung gegen Markenrechte der Kläger oder gegen das Gesetz gegen den unlauteren Wettbewerb. Dagegen legten FAZ und SZ Revision ein.

Am 1. Dezember 2010 hob der Bundesgerichtshof die Berufungsurteile auf und verwies die Sachen an das Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt am Main zurück. Er bestätigte zwar die Auffassung des Berufungsgerichts, dass die Kläger kein generelles Verbot der Verwendung ihrer Buchrezensionen verlangen könnten, vielmehr die urheberrechtliche Zulässigkeit einer Verwertung der Abstracts allein davon abhänge, ob es sich bei den Zusammenfassungen um selbstständige Werke handelt, die in freier Benutzung der Originalrezensionen geschaffen worden sind und daher gemäß § 24 Abs. 1 UrhG ohne Zustimmung der Urheber der benutzten Werke verwertet werden dürfen. Das Berufungsgericht habe bei seiner Prüfung, ob die von den Klägern beanstandeten Zusammenfassungen diese Voraussetzung erfüllen, aber nicht die richtigen rechtlichen Maßstäbe angelegt und zudem nicht alle relevanten tatsächlichen Umstände berücksichtigt. Der Bundesgerichtshof hatte deshalb die Sache an das Berufungsgericht zurückverwiesen.

Am 1. November 2011 entschied das Oberlandesgericht Frankfurt am Main im weiteren Verfahrensgang, dass einzelne Perlentaucher-Kritiken, die im Dezember 2004 erschienen waren und von den Klägern konkret benannt wurden, ihr Urheberrecht verletzten. Diese Abstracts bestünden mehr oder weniger aus einer Übernahme von besonders prägenden und ausdrucksstarken Passagen der Originalrezensionen, von denen lediglich einige Sätze ausgelassen worden seien. Sie stellten deshalb eine unzulässige "unfreie" Bearbeitung im Sinne des Urheberrechtsgesetzes dar und hätten ohne die Einwilligung der Klägerinnen nicht übernommen werden dürfen. In diesem – eingeschränkten – Umfang gab das Oberlandesgericht den Berufungen deshalb statt und änderte die vorausgegangenen Urteile des Landgerichts entsprechend ab.

Im zeitlichen Zusammenhang mit den umfangreichen Rechtsstreitigkeiten ersuchte der Perlentaucher seine Leser im Januar 2011 um einen finanziellen Beitrag, um den weiteren Bestand der Plattform sicherzustellen. Der Appell wurde mit dem Verfall der Preise für Bannerwerbung im Internet begründet. Man bitte um eine freiwillige Unterstützung durch die Leser, weil der Perlentaucher weiterhin als frei zugängliches Angebot im Internet erhalten bleiben solle. Der Aufruf erbrachte innerhalb von zwei Wochen Spendeneinnahmen in Höhe von 22.000 Euro.

Debatte über die Literaturkritik, 2014/2015
Im Dezember 2014 ereignete sich eine Debatte, die Thierry Chervel mit einem Interview begonnen hatte, das er am 9. Dezember 2014 in der Sendung Lesart im Gespräch mit dem Moderator Joachim Scholl auf dem damaligen Deutschlandradio Kultur gegeben hatte. Chervel hatte darin eine Auswertung der von ihm erfassten Buchrezensionen in den deutschen Feuilletons vorgestellt, der zufolge die Literaturkritik wegen der Zeitungskrise immer weniger Bücher bespreche und zudem von einer "Tendenz zur Provinzialisierung" betroffen sei, weil sie sich immer stärker auf deutsche Autoren konzentriere, deren Texte bei den großen deutschen Verlagen erscheinen. Ausländische Autoren würden deshalb oft nicht mehr so wahrgenommen wie früher. Die Zahl der Rezensionen pro Jahr habe sich seit dem Start des Perlentauchers beinahe halbiert.

Der Perlentaucher initiierte daraufhin in seinem Blog eine Debatte über den Stand und die Zukunft der Literaturkritik. Michael Pilz äußerte sich schließlich auf literaturkritik.de kritisch zur statistischen Grundlage, woraufhin Chervel seine ursprüngliche Behauptung relativieren musste.

"lit21", seit 2015
Im November 2015 gründete der Perlentaucher einen eigenen Aggregator für literarische Online-Angebote unter dem Namen lit21.de. Das literarische Metablog. Der Planet sammelt die RSS-Feeds von 101 Webseiten der Zeitungs- und Buchverlage sowie von literarischen Blogs (Stand: März 2019).

Weitere Entwicklungen
Im Mittelpunkt des Angebots standen von Anfang an eine werktäglich am Vormittag erscheinende Presseschau, in der die Feuilletons der großen deutschsprachigen Tages- und Wochenzeitungen (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Frankfurter Rundschau, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Süddeutsche Zeitung, Tagesspiegel, die tageszeitung, Die Welt, Der Spiegel und Die Zeit) ausgewertet und zusammengefasst werden, eine internationale Magazinrundschau sowie eine Buchdatenbank, die Ende 2011 etwa 37.000 Einträge umfasste. Darin werden seit dem Jahr 2000 Resümees zu praktisch allen in diesen Zeitungen veröffentlichten Buchkritiken gesammelt.

Ursprünglich war die Presseschau nach den darin beobachteten Zeitungen gegliedert. Die besprochenen Feuilleton-Artikel wurden verlinkt, soweit sie auf der Website des jeweiligen Zeitungsverlags online verfügbar waren. Auf lesenswerte Artikel, die nur in der Print-Ausgabe erschienen, wurde außerdem hingewiesen.

Im Laufe der Zeit wies der Perlentaucher immer mehr auch auf Beiträge in ausländischen Zeitungen und Zeitschriften sowie in Blogs hin. Diese flossen zunächst in die Magazinrundschau, später auch in die Presseschauen ein. Damit trug die Redaktion der Entwicklung der Öffentlichkeit Rechnung, die sich einerseits zunehmend international ausnahm, die andererseits immer stärker abseits der Zeitungen in digitaler Form im Internet stattfand, beispielsweise in Literaturblogs.

Seit dem Januar 2014 wird die Presseschau infolge der veränderten Öffentlichkeit sowie der Nutzungsgewohnheiten der Leser in zwei Teilen gegeben, die zeitgleich vormittags erscheinen: In der Rundschau für Kritik und Kultur Efeu geht es um die Entwicklung der Künste und der kulturellen Szenen, während es in der Debattenrundschau 9punkt um das kulturelle Gespräch in einem weiteren, auch politischen und wirtschaftlichen Sinne geht. Eine Bücherrundschau zu den täglich erscheinenden Rezensionen und ein Medienticker zu medienjournalistischen und -politischen Themen erscheinen um die Mittagszeit. Die Magazinrundschau bündelt vor allem Hinweise auf ausländische Medien. Besprechungen neuer Kinofilme, Essays und weitere Beiträge im eigenen Blog sowie der Feed-Aggregator lit21.de ergänzen das Angebot.

Rezeption
Die Aufnahme eines Autors in das Personenverzeichnis des Perlentauchers gilt in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia als Relevanzkriterium.

Kirstin Breitenfellner bescheinigte dem Perlentaucher 2013 in einer Glosse in der Wiener Wochenzeitung Falter, jeden Tag aufs Neue informativ und humorvoll zu sein. Dadurch verringere sich ihre Angst, bei der Feuilletonlektüre etwas verpasst zu haben. Das Portal sei selbst zu einem Gatekeeper geworden. Gleichwohl beklagte sie, dass österreichische Medien "eher selten in diesen Olymp des Kulturrelevanten" gelangten.

I want to thank you for changing my life! I think it was two years ago that I purchased the Automatic Millionaire. Your inspirational stories motivated me into realizing that I too could reach my dreams. In two short years my husband and I have both purchased new (to us) vehicles, a small yacht and have taken two family trips oversees. Last week I finished reading The Automatic Millionaire Homeowner and guess what….on Tuesday I bought a new home and will become a landlord of my existing home. In addition to all that we also have $9000 in a rainy day fund! Two years ago David we were headed for broke. Now that everything is automatic we are well on our ways to becoming the automatic millionaires I know we can become. Incidentally, one of my close friends purchased her first home last year after reading my copy of The Automatic Millionaire. By watching her latte factor this single mom that earns $8.50 an hour became a homeowner! It can be done! I have just let her borrow the Homeowner version! Thanks David for changing our lives.

CovrPrice.Com Runners-Up for Week of 9/30/22
As promised, the Covrprice.com runners-up list. The second half of the Top 20.
#11 EDGE OF SPIDER-VERSE #4 HELEN CHEN DESIGN (1:10) | MARVEL | 2022
You know the sentiment of the community. If there is a new first appearance of a Spider-centric character in a book, the community usually moves to pick it up. This book is brand new and features two first appearances in Sun-Spider and the Spinstress, which has collectors moving to acquire. It also features the first disabled Spider character in Sun-Spider, a welcome inclusion to the lexicon. Add a sweet 1:10 design variant from Helen Chen, and you have a recipe for a high spot on the Runner Up list! We tracked 43 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 115%, with a high sale of $16 for a raw copy and a current NM FMV of $9.
#12 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #503 | MARVEL | 2004
We, the community know two things for certain; Loki will return for a 2nd season, and Marvel is taking a decidedly multiversal turn. This book features the first appearances of 2 characters: Tess Black, the daughter of Loki, and an immortal sorceress of chaos, Morwen. The community sees the probability of Loki crossing a timeline in S2 and running into his daughter as high (albeit with absolutely NO concrete information). Not to mention the possibility Loki will have to deal with the fallout of Multiverse of Madness, hence sorceress. Only time will tell if the attention this book has received from collectors is warranted, but it is a lower-risk book said collectors have been gravitating toward as of late. We tracked 13 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 239%, with a high sale of $30 for an NM raw copy and a VF FMV of $10.
#13 MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #72 | MARVEL | 1991
As Wolverine key issues continue to climb outreach of many collectors, they are constantly looking for relatively cheap keys to acquire. This book often comes up in the key issue conversation as it is the start of the Weapon X storyline and the origin of Wolverine. You know, two massively influential points in Wolverine's ever-evolving story. With the Canadian colossus (in importance, not stature) looming large over the greater MCU (and, let's be honest, what fans have been dying for), we shall see if this storyline is ever adapted. If so, numerous fans will apparently be ready, especially after that sly She-Hulk tease. We tracked 25 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 190%, with a high sale of $270 for a CGC 9.8 and a raw NM FMV of $34.
#14 SPAWN #1 | IMAGE | 1992
As frequently noted, Spawn is one of the most beloved modern comic characters. Driven by nostalgia and McFarlane fans, his first appearance remains the BEST and most consistent aftermarket seller year after year. With the major McFarlane signing at CGC on the horizon, many are looking to acquire last-minute books to submit. This week, his reign continues with 32 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 98%, and a high sale of $199 for a CGC 9.8. A raw NM FMV copy of this book sells for $52.
#15 WOLVERINE #1 | MARVEL | 1988
The trend continues for ole' Wolvie, seeing several lower-cost keys on our list. After a clawed man who happened to get into a bar fight was mentioned in She-Hulk, Wolverine has seen an uptick in sales. Why wouldn't he? As soon as fans of the show and the wider world found out about that reference, the bar brawl from the first X-Men film immediately came to mind. The community wants some Wolverine on the big screen after his sad farewell in Logan! We tracked 27 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 97%, with a high sale of $385 for a CGC 9.8 and a raw NM FMV of $75.
#16 VENOM LETHAL PROTECTOR #1 | MARVEL | 1993
A bit random, but another fan-favorite character's first solo series popped up on our list. It goes without saying Venom is incredibly popular, gaining a ton of steam that never let up with the release of this book. Marvel returned to the well earlier this year, re-launching Venom: Lethal Protector, and it's been well received. Fans can't help but re-visit the original, especially as they read the new series by Venom's original co-creator David Michelinie. We tracked 19 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 105%, with a high sale of $149 for a CGC 9.8 and a raw NM FMV of $21, a relatively low intro price for a high-grade foil book, one that could easily be messed up from a couple of read-throughs.
#17 WONDER MAN #1 | MARVEL | 1991
ComicBook.com reported that the Wonder Man series could be a satire set in Hollywood. While this has not been confirmed, the rumor has increased interest in the first ongoing Wonder Man series, which primarily takes place in Hollywood. Interest and credence to the rumors have been buoyed by the confirmation that Trevor Slattery will return to Wonder Man, the most satirical character ever to be introduced by the MCU throughout his multiple appearances. We tracked 10 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 167%, with a high sale of $77.77 for a CGC 9.6 and a raw NM FMV of $9.
#18 MARVEL SUPER-HEROES SECRET WARS #10 | MARVEL | 1985
The man Mike Zeck absolutely crushed this Doom cover, bringing forth one of his best of all time as he depicts Doom after his battle with the Beyonder. When Secret Wars was announced at SDCC and Fantastic Four on the horizon, fans couldn't help but theorize Dr. Doom and the Beyonder might also be on the horizon. If so, this is a must-have book after Doom defeats the Beyonder, ending the Secret Wars (off-panel, no less.) If not, it's still an excellent book. We tracked 18 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 90%, with a high sale of $135 for a CGC 9.6 and an FN raw FMV of $20.
#19 THE PUNISHER #1 | MARVEL | 1987
Yet another premiere issue in a first-time ongoing solo title for a beloved character makes an appearance on our list! The Punisher's first appearance is one pricey key, but this is a nice consolation prize for many. The Punisher is as popular as ever, with strong outings in many Marvel titles. With Daredevil returning to the MCU, fans are hoping the Punisher will do the same. Rosario Dawson flamed the fires of anticipation at SDCC before she had to retract her statements. But many continue to wonder, was there some truth to her words? We tracked 14 copies sold at a 7-day trend of 100% with a high sale of $319.95 for a CGC 9.8 with a raw FN FMV of $33.
The first appearance of Venom will always be popular amongst fans. He is one of the most popular characters of all time; whether it be for his sunny disposition or his bright, outward appearance, we can't say for sure. That, and the cover for this book by the great Todd McFarlane, is one of the most iconic of all time. With an upcoming signing at CGC, many fans are making budgetary decisions when looking to acquire one of the legend's most iconic works. We tracked 13 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 81%, with a high sale of $2,027 for an NM+ raw copy (dang!) and an NM FMV of $651.We tracked 13 copies sold, at a 7-day trend of 81%, with a high sale of $2,027 for an NM+ raw copy.

Q: Why have English words adopted the feminine version of French words with -if endings? There seems to be a pattern with English words using the ending -ive to have been adopted from the French female variant.
Eg: [english <- french(masculine/feminine)]

*

*active <- act(if/ive)

*massive <- mass(if/ive)

*motive <- mot(if/ive)

*abusive <- abus(if/ive)

*competitive <- compétit(if/ive)

*positive <- posit(if/ive)

*progressive <- progress(if/ive)
Why is it that the English language more closely resembles the French feminine variants over the masculine ones?

A: The suffix comes from the latin suffix -ivus (pronounced [iːwus]). In French, Latin declensions gradually eroded, so the suffix became -ive, ending with a [v] sound (a common evolution from the Latin [w]) and a schwa (a common evolution from Latin declensions). The schwa further disappeared from the masculine form, and the final /v/ sound changed to [f], I think under German influence.
English acquired the suffix via Anglo-Norman French in the 13th and 14th century, in the masculine form: actif, motif, etc. Later, in the 15th and 16th century, the suffix was added to other words directly in English (some of which then made their way back to French, such as competitive and sportive). As these words were usually created by scholars who knew Latin, they used a suffix that was closer to the Latin original, thus -ive. Over time the older -if forms evolved to match the expanding -ive forms.
The few -if words in modern English such as motif, aperitif, etc. (and a few others that aren't from French) are 19th century additions, not survivors from Anglo-Norman, except waif (which is not constructed with an -if suffix) and perhaps naif (I don't know whether this one is a survivance or a later reintroduction).

Pharmacist helps those in need
Sharon Myers
Ravin Shah, owner and pharmacist at A1 Pharmacy in Lexington, has made it his mission to help anyone in anyway he can.
Since he opened A1 Pharmacy in 2006, Shah has been providing prescription medications, as well as over the counter products such as aspirins and band-aids, to Crisis Ministry of Davidson County. He does not charge for the medications and he delivers them as well.
"Even if they have insurance, I don't charge a co-pay," Shah said. "If they don't have insurance, I try to help as much as I can. There are several name-brand drugs and they are very expensive; I call the doctor and get them switched to generic. I try to find something cheaper… The bottom line is they are in the (homeless) shelter because they don't have anything. If they had the money for medicine they wouldn't be in the shelter."
He said there are several residents at the shelter who are in need of medications, such as blood pressure, diabetes and psychiatric prescriptions, that can greatly impact their health. He said he feels it is the responsibility of the community to help those less fortunate.
"They can take the medicine and I can help them too without putting too much of a dent on my bottom line," Shah said. "At Crisis Ministry, I know 100 percent of the people need (medicine) and can't pay for it,"
Ashley Phillips, director of Crisis Ministry of Davidson County, said they are very appreciative of Shah's support of the organization.
"We are so grateful of the generosity of Mr. Ravin," Phillips said. "He has gone over and beyond to support those we serve. We can't thank him enough for making our community a better place, it helps us serve our clients better. There is so much more to running a shelter than a bed and a meal. There is so much gray area in between that people don't think of. A lot of our folks need medication, and they can't afford it and because of Mr. Ravin we are able to give them what they need."
Shah said not only is it a way to help the community, it is also a major part of his religious beliefs. Shah and his family are members of the Jain Center of Greater Charlotte. Jainism is an ancient Indian religion teaching a path to spiritual purity and enlightenment through disciplined nonviolence to all living creatures.
"My wife is an inspiration for me. She is very religious," Shah said. "On the religious basis, the first and foremost thing is no violence; the second thing is to help others in any matter shape or form you can. It is as simple as that. We have been doing it every which way we can… I don't talk about it much because it is for my own satisfaction."
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Shah said the needs at Crisis Ministry has only increased. Not only is he continuing to provide prescription medications for free, he has started collecting masks, gloves, cleaning supplies and other items to provide to the shelter. He said he and his wife have also personally begun collecting non-perishable items to give to supplement their food needs.
"I was talking to Ashley at the shelter and she said the donations from the churches and others are down," Shah said. "She sent me an email telling me where they are lacking, so I told her I will get some masks, some gloves, some cleaning supplies and other things they need."
Phillips said that with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the cost of supplies such as masks, gloves, paper products and cleaning supplies has increased the burden on the organization. She said that they are grateful for any contribution, no matter how small, but they are especially appreciative of the continued support Shah has given Crisis Ministry of Davidson County.
"He has been a great blessing and a great asset to our community," Phillips said. "We need so much and a lot of times people don't know how much their $20 donation adds up. It is always great to see people like Mr. Ravin and the community come together and support our organization."
Not only does Shah and A1 pharmacy help those clients of Crisis Ministry, he also helps his own customers when they find themselves unable to pay for their medications.
"I have been helping the community by letting them charge (the cost) of prescriptions and they can pay met later," Shah said. "I get asked why do I let people do that because they will take advantage of me. I don't know who I am dealing with, if I can help 30 percent (of these people) then it is worth the 70 percent that take advantage. Even then the 70 percent is still going to a good cause."
A1 continues to provide service to its customers with drive-up curb service, as well as, delivery of prescriptions.
Shah said he gets fulfillment being able to provide much needed prescriptions to clients at Crisis Ministry because he knows how much it means to them.
"It is a holistic approach. There is a whole person there," Shah said. "From the time they wake up, they don't have anything and there are so many little things they need. We try to do the best we can do. When you are helping people, whether they are homeless or homebound and less fortunate, you have to show them that you care and be considerate with them as a person."

Edina Szvoren was born in 1974 in Budapest. An alumni of Béla Bartók Music High School, she currently teaches solfeggio and music theory there. She holds a degree as chorus-master from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. She has had work published regularly since 2005, including two works of prose. Her work has been recognized by the following awards: the Sándor Bródy prize for the best first prose book of the year in 2011, the Artisjus Prize and the Attila József Prize.
Edina Szvoren's stories contain a lot of dry humour, yet at the same time they sizzle, as she reveals the drama in the minutiae of human relationships. When describing Szvoren's literary world, reviewers have brought up the names of two radically different predecessors: the analytical prose of Péter Nádas and the graceful giant of grotesque, Péter Hajnóczy. The stories of Nincs, és ne is legyen will convince the reader that Szvoren is a mature author with a unique storytelling voice. The family, which is both the centre stage and model of our lives, stands firmly in the middle of the stories, regardless of whether we are struggling on that stage or are just on the outside looking in.
Good morning. Why should precisely seven days belong together, I think to myself. I do not like the way the names of the days are repeated every week. Time sometimes comes to a standstill and then there is a little interval. Not only do I not know what will come next, I don't even know if there will be anything at all. I don't think I'll be a grown-up some day. One thing is for sure: I won't be able to have any children. No one is going to want me to undress and have me look at his naked body. My transgressions cannot be confessed. If time drops out, there is no visible sign of it. At least my classmates do not notice it, though the letter handed on under the desks has stopped with me. Miss Emmy is smiling at me from under her grey polka dot headscarf, and even she does not notice that I am nowhere. All she sees is the letter. She takes it but does not read it the way other teachers do. Doesn't even open it. Miss Emmy has widely separated eyes, a broad forehead, and round nose. Miss Emmy has it wrong: she thinks I am lovable; I have managed to fool her, and now I dream she is going to be disappointed. I have started a diary. Mother bought it for me as a name-day gift: I recorded that I am going to die. Mind you, I don't even think that I was born. I am not yet fond of anyone so much as Miss Emmy – I'll record that, too, straight off on the first page, in smaller letters. I am pleased that the pages of the diary are yellow, stiff, and rustle, like blueprints, documents, or the Gothic characters of the German letters kept in the drawers of Daddy's desk. I would not be too pleased if the notebook had a shop smell about it. I don't like new things. Good morning. What does it mean that the sun is shining? I can see its rays from my room. I have been accorded the grace of being able to see the sun even when I am lying in bed. Contrast that with people like the Majors, for example, who have moved into our garret flat. However they place their heads, all that can be seen from the attic is the slate roof and the leaky eaves. That was what was granted to them. All the same, it is obvious that we got up, not the sun.
I shall endeavour to live in a manner that befits a diary. I make Daddy's bed, and for a forint I wash his socks. I don't blag him, on account of which I got more the last time. It's not that I'm badmouthing the Majors, but they really are lazy and pong a bit. The diary is green and hard-backed.


text:
Vitsentzos sau Vikentios Kornaros (în greacă : Βιτσέντζος or Βικέντιος Κορνάρος) sau Vincenzo Cornaro () a fost un poet grec, exponent al perioadei Renașterea cretană. S-a născut în orașul Sitia din Creta, astăzi Limani (Λiμανiτηζ Σητεiαζ), precum spune în epilogul poemei sale.

Creația sa poetică se caracterizează prin plasticitate, muzicalitatea versului și echilibru imagistic.
Una dintre cele mai valoroase scrieri ale sale este poemul epic Erotokritos. Erotocritul a fost tradus în românește de trei ori, prima dată înainte de 1780 de Hristodor Ioanu Trapezuntul, a doua oară de un anonim și a treia oară de Vasile Vîrnav ot [din] Botoșani. Erotocritul este un roman de dragoste. Cei doi îndrăgostiți sunt Aretuza, fiica regelui Iraclie al Atenei și Erotocrit, fiul sfetnicului regelui, Pezostrat. Vicisitudinile soarteri îi despart, cu noi și noi obstacole până când, în cele din urmă suferințele îndrăgostiților se curmă în mod firesc prin căsătoria lor.

I se atribuie și drama biblică Thysia tou Avraam ("Sacrificiul lui Avram").

Nicolae Cartojan arată că sursa principală a lui Erotokritos este romanul cavaleresc provensal din sec. XIV "Histoire du tresvaillant chevalier Paris et de la belle Vienne, fille du daulphin de Vienneys", de Pierre de La Cépède.

Poema lui Cornaro a fost ușor schimbată și adăugată în manuscrise românești de la începutul secolului al XIX-lea, sub titlul de Filerot și Antuza. Aici, Erotocrit ("cel chinuit de Eros") se numește Filerot ("cel ce iubește pe Eros"), iar Aretuza ("cea cu virtute"), Antuza ("cea ca o floare înflorită"). Acțiunea este mutată în timpul vechilor elini la curtea lui Periandros, tatăl Antuzei care are drept sfetnic pe bătrânul Agaton, tatăl lui Filerot. Peripețiile dragostei dintre cei doi eroi sunt identice cu cele din Erotocrit, intriga fiind pe alocuri complicată.

În Grecia, Erotocritul a fost dramatizat de Th. N. Synadinos, fiind reprezentat încă pe scenă la Atena în 1935

iis is a very solid start to the new spin off, of the sirantha jaxseries's. Sirantha is by far my most favorite series to date. In this perdition installment, jael is sentenced to life in prison. This prison is like no other. Perdition is policed by inmates...yes -inmates! So we are talking action packed scenes. Jael is recruited by the dred queen. He quickly finds his place in her court, and they have to fight to stay alive on the prison death star that issin desperate need of repair. Love all of the characters that are loyal to dred...lots of witty banter, a few red herrings, and a couplewell reveals. The one problem I had was the setting. THe prison is The only thing you are imagining...so the wow factor is somewhat low. But that is the only thing that I felt could have been improved upon...otherwise this is a great book.
