We offer a great portfolio of products (Ameritas, Assurity, Illinois Mutual, MetLife, Ohio National, Principal and Reliance Standard), graded disability plan available for impaired risks, online applications, and very competitive rates. If you need additional information of have specific questions, please contact Jim Coyle at our DI Center: jcoyle@thedicenter.com.
Disability Insurance, often called DI or disability income insurance, is a form of insurance that insures the beneficiary's earned income against the risk that a disability creates a barrier for a worker to complete the core functions of their work. For example the inability to focus or maintain composure as with psychological disorders or an injury, illness or condition that causes physical impairment or incapacity to work. It encompasses paid sick leave, short-term disability benefits, and long-term disability benefits. Statistics show that in the US a disabling accident occurs on average once every second. In fact, Nearly 18.5% of Americans are currently living with a Disability, and 1 out of every 4 persons in the US workforce will suffer a disabling injury before retirement.

I like fantasy and computer games. There's an abundance of both, but most leave me cold. In an attempt to pin down those interests, and summarise what's worth playing, here's the first in a series of three games which transported me to magical lands. With varying success.
For fair comparison, I am reviewing the PS2 version of each, as played from start to finish on a real console. All screenshots are emulated through PCSX2 using software rendering.
It's hard to fault the service on this first flight of fancy. Shame about the destination.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe arrived in a knackered case, but the previous owners liked it enough to care for the disc. It's not a bad game, just a bad Narnia game.
The problems start with a film I haven't cared to watch. Glimpses suggest a minor scuffle between literature and Peter Jackson's accountant, resolved by mixing characters that mean something with fights that don't. The game doubles down on the fighting, though artfully hides the trick that makes it especially pointless.
I admire the opening as a statement of intent. The concept, smashing furniture for coins in the middle of The Blitz, deals mercifully swift heartbreak, then the developers focus their attention on bringing a touch of horror and panic to Finders Keepers. Swift pacing and impressive effects distract from the stupidity of looting an inconsistently-burning house.
Lowered expectations rise as the next level begins. The atmosphere is mellow, with time to admire the scenery and roll around on a giant snowball. Then one barrier later, the largely ineffectual hordes are released, and Narnia becomes merely a scene for constant danger. Sibling-bowling wolves to death is fun, but not really in the spirit of the book.
If you like to try the unexpected, prepare for further disappointment. The snowball can be ridden to, but not over, a snowdrift obstacle. Puzzles and solutions are rarely far apart, and mostly about choosing the right character. The cues are clear, so frustration is rare, but so is satisfaction.
Then, a jaunt through a country house suggests that the rhythm may be more than beatings repeating. Though linear, it's craftily arranged to feel like exploring, and even has a slight twist on mandatory crate destruction. Bats attack, possibly through fear of boredom, but that aside it feels like taking part in the story.
Back in Narnia, most of the book is wasted. There's no space for the thrill of discovery, or fear of being lost. The secret police are swapped for a stream of petty irritations, with no cosy moments of respite.
The levels are punctuated by clips from the movie. These usually finish with a cross-fade to the game's character models, carefully posed and framed for a smooth visual transition. Such consistency is in stark contrast to the narrative mess resulting from constant danger.
The children are eager to explore, despite narrowly escaping a wolf pack on their previous visit. The White Which grooms Edward, then launches an all-out assault before that plan can come to fruition. With her intentions clear, there's no reason for betrayal. With children handily taking out her armies, there's no need for Aslan.
The epitome of word-pummeling is the showdown between Peter and the wolf captain. This is the first fight in the book, and a correspondingly swift, confused, awkward mess. The game already spills wolves from bushes by the dozen, so there's farce dressed as drama.
After some more regulation wolf multi-packs, Susan, the ranged character, is obliged to hide up a tree. Peter must then endure rounds of respawning health and uninterruptible attacks, until automatically knocked to the ground. Susan comes back down, bow malfunction presumably sorted, and it all keeps going long after involvement is dead.
Interest in what happens next comes to rely on constant, frantic pacing. Once that falters, any daft premise comes into focus. The boss fight isn't unusually stupid, but seems that way for dragging on so long.
You're unlikely to be surprised by joy. There's no chance to appreciate the transition from winter to spring, and no point in Christmas gifts which are also disposable pickups. There's no post-resurrection playfulness, no relief while liberating captives, and no opportunity to explore Narnia after the fighting's over.
As a game of attacking that which attacks, it's fine. The controls are responsive, the action is clear outside of the odd monster mash, and there's usually enough room to manoeuvre. There are light tactical moments, little intermissions between fights, and some brutal failure scenes give death more impact than a few hundred grunts can muster.
It runs smoothly, free of technical distractions. Weighty animation makes the ludicrous combos and team-up attacks believable, and it's a shame that there's rarely time to appreciate the scenery. If you don't care why things are happening, it's quite easy to go with the flow, and a baseline of polish hides the main mechanical flaw.
There's no finesse, no reason to play well. The designers admit as much, spawning recovery items when health falls below a fixed threshold. Paying for upgrades, aside from being grossly unfitting, mostly feels an obligation to keep pace with monster resilience.
It eventually feels wrong as a single player game too, due to your elegantly thick assistants. The uncontrolled children knock monsters back, but don't actually hurt them. This works for keeping melee mobs at bay, but not as reliable cover from ranged damage.
Worse, some monsters are immune to anything but bundles of sticks being rolled in their direction. Positioning is slow, fiddly, and leaves you defenceless, so it's a matter of luck if you're kept safe long enough to line up the necessary shots.
Story aside, the biggest disappointment is the final battle. It's a great concept: every turned-to-stone ally you mark in the earlier levels is freed to help you in the climatic showdown. Sadly, they merely fund weak smart-bomb specials, so it's far more efficient to wade in and beat out a steady supply of health drops.
Ignoring the source material, this a reasonable diversion, especially for two players. It's polished, with a touch of variety between fights, that were good enough to largely hold my attention until the final third. There's some excellent use of animated sprites, giving the impression of huge armies in the background as you fight much smaller groups.
If you care for the book, this is more Friday night aggro than Narnia. However, through their skill and dedication to ridiculous concepts, Traveller's Tales have sprinkled some of their own wonder into this waste of talent.

The undeniable surge of interest in puppetry arts around the world confirms the form's enduring influence and boundless expressive richness. Puppetry's many permutations attract creators and spectators alike to its ageold and constantly renewed alliance between matter and movement, as a reflection of ourselves or a reinvention of our world.
The Festival de Casteliers program features a wonderful selection of great works celebrating the 11th art. This year, France is being showcased as we welcome four shows and many French artists, as well as companies from the United States, Canada and Québec. Puppeteers, actors, puppet and set builders, musicians and circus performers will create illusions, as they combine wood, cardboard, fabric and long strings with insight, humour, poetry and imagination.
The festival will also be the perfect opportunity to officially inaugurate the Maison internationale des arts de la marionnette (MIAM). The MIAM opened in the fall of 2018 and has already welcomed more than a thousand people – artists, local residents and visitors – from here and around the world.
Located in the heart of the Outremont borough, it will contribute to Montréal's status as a cultural metropolis, both nationally and internationally. It will also allow puppetry's myriad faces to shine at home and abroad.


William Pardy was born in Yeovil in 1826 and baptised in St John's church on 28 June 1826. He was the son of carpenter William Pardy (b1789) and glove sewer Sarah née Glyde (b1796). In the 1841 census William and Sarah were living in the first house in Belmont (where Belmont joins Park Street at the junction with Penn Hill) with their nine children including 14-year old William who was a Glover's Apprentice. By the time of the 1851 census the family were still at the same address and William now gave his occupation as a Glover.
William went into partnership with Edmund and George Davis, trading as Davis & Pardy, Glove Manufacturers.
In the winter of 1856 William married Ellen Rake (b1842), daughter of William (d1860) and Ann Rake of Silver Street.
In its edition of 22 May 1858 Perry's Bankrupt Gazette recorded that the partnership between William Pardy and the Davis brothers was dissolved effective from 1 March 1857. William, however, carried on as a Glove Manufacturer on his own and in the 1861 census he was recorded living in South Street with Ellen and a domestic servant. William stated his occupation as "Glove Manufacturer employing 18 Men & 4 Boys". The Post Office Directory of 1866 listed "William Pardy, Glove Manufacturer of South Street".
In November 1865 William was sworn in as one of twenty Special Constables for the Borough of Yeovil for the ensuing year.
Unfortunately William experienced severe financial problems and was made bankrupt on 25 September 1868 but before the bankruptcy was declared he absconded to Manchester with part of his stock in order to sell it. The full story is told in the Gallery below.
In the 1871 census William and Ellen were living in Middle Street, close to the junction of Station Road. William gave his occupation simply as a Glover.
William died in Yeovil in the autumn of 1874. He was aged 47.
The "Strange Proceedings of a Yeovil Tradesman" - the story of William's bankruptcy and his absconding to Manchester to sell his stock as reported in the 23 October 1868 edition of the Western Gazette.

A research-driven approach to fertility treatment for Santa Monica couples.
Assisted hatching is a technique performed in the laboratory to help increase the chance of successful implantation. The assisted hatching technique is used after the IVF cycle in the laboratory setting in order to facilitate both the embryo's hatching and also improve the embryo's chances of implantation in the uterine wall.
Assisted hatching focuses on manipulating a portion of the human zona pellucid (ZP), which is the thick membrane that surrounds the egg. In the normal reproductive cycle, a fertilized embryo travels through the fallopian tube and arrives at the uterus where it will break through or "hatch" out of the outer ZP coating before it implants into the uterine wall. The embryo must pass through the ZP membrane in order to attach itself to the uterine wall. If an embryo is unable to break through the membrane it will not be able to implant or continue developing and will die. Assisted hatching techniques help enable embryos to pass through this ZP membrane and increase the chances of it implanting correctly.
The procedure is relatively simple, and is done microscopically in the lab. Once an egg has been fertilized (through In Vitro Fertilization), the embryologist makes a small hole in an embryo's ZP membrane so it is easier for the embryo to break through. There are several different ways that the embryologist can go about piercing the ZP, including an embryo-safe acidic solution which dissolves a portion of the membrane, or with laser technology. Our Santa Monica lab uses the most cutting edge micro laser.
Assisted hatching is most useful when a patient has had a failed IVF cycle where it appears there may be a problem with the embryos implanting once introduced to the uterus. It can also be used in cases involving older women (of advanced maternal age) or those with a high level of FSH whose eggs have a harder ZP membrane than those of younger women. Assisted hatching is also used when eggs or embryos have been frozen and thawed, or if embryos require a biopsy or PGD.

1831: Here to Help
Comic #1831 (May 1, 2017)
Title text: "We TOLD you it was hard." "Yeah, but now that I'VE tried, we KNOW it's hard."
Explanation[edit]
This comic is a satire of computer programmers, who sometimes forget that not everything can be solved with an algorithm, or of the tendency to think computers are the answer to everything. In the first panel, Megan talks about how the field that she and Hairy work in has a difficult problem that many people have been working on. Cueball, believing that algorithms can solve their problem, tries to help. In the next panel, Megan and Hairy silently watch Cueball working on the problem on his laptop. Finally, six months later, Cueball concedes, and an exasperated Megan retorts sarcastically, pointing out that she had explained its difficulty six months ago within the timeline.
The title text furthers Cueball's apparent arrogance by showing a dialogue. Megan or Hairy says, "We TOLD you it was hard," referring to the first panel, but Cueball, still confident in his own ability's superiority, says, "Yeah, but now that I'VE tried, we KNOW it's hard." The joke is that Cueball believes that, even though he has just failed, it was his attempt which proved the difficulty, and not Megan and Hairy's work for years. The dialog references an exchange from the film The Imitation Game, in which Alan Turing's superior claims, "The Americans, the Russians, the French, the Germans, everyone thinks Enigma is unbreakable," and Turing replies, "Good. Let me try and we'll know for sure, won't we?"
The satire, however, applies far beyond computer programmers. It can be read as a political commentary, as in nobody knew health care could be so complicated. It is what we'd all like to see when well-meaning advice givers provide the "simple" solution to all our problems, or management provides glib advice from ten thousand feet. It is a commentary on the universal tendency to see problems as simple because we don't know what makes them hard.
This comic calls back to 793: Physicists and possibly 1570: Engineer Syllogism in central theme.
Transcript[edit]
[Megan, standing next to Hairy, is addressing the reader holding her arms out. Cueball walks in from the right.]
Megan: Our field has been struggling with this problem for years.
[Cueball holds his laptop high up in one arm above Megan's head while holding his other arm out as well. Megan has turned to look at him.]
Cueball: Struggle no more! I'm here to solve it with algorithms!
[In a frame-less panel Cueball sits on a chair at a desk with his laptop working on it, while Hairy and Megan looks on from behind.]
[Cueball, still sitting at his laptop, points at the screen. Megan raises her arms and four small lines above her head, on either side of her speech line, indicate her annoyance with Cueball.]
Six months later:
Cueball: Wow, this problem is really hard.
Megan: You don't say.
So who else read the "Six months later" caption in the voice of the French narrator from SpongeBob Squarepants? 172.68.58.41 23:26, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
So I'm not the only one who does that! Dontknow (talk) 00:00, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Gosh, is Randall making a parallel to someone else who only recently announced that his job is hard, and that nobody knew how complicated things could be? Seems like a clear poke at Trump to me. 108.162.246.23 23:43, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
EVERYONE feels like that after the election. Get over it. That's right, Jacky720 just signed this (talk | contribs) 23:50, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Between algorithms and "objectively" establishing that a problem is hard, I took this to be a reference to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NP-hardness … --162.158.222.16 00:31, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
While the people originally having the problem (Megan and Hairy in this case) may not appreciate it (because it wouldn't help SOLVING the problem), establishing that some problem is not only "hard" but specifically NP-hard, AI-hard, equivalent to halting problem or for example equivalent to axiom of choice is important scientific result. -- Hkmaly (talk) 02:03, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Rather than referencing The Imitation Game, the sentence "[...] now that I'VE tried, we KNOW it's hard." may be referencing instead Awakenings (1990), where Robin William's character says something similar near beginning of the movie.
Regarding the (possible) reference to the Imitation Game, whilst it may be true that the Americans Russians French and Germans thought Enigma unbreakable, the Polish had been breaking it for years before Turing got involved and work done in Poland was an important part of the British success early in the war. German improvements to operating practices later stopped the Polish methods working and yes Turing had better methods that still worked, later on in the war. But Poland at least, didn't think it was unbreakable. Just saying.
While we are "just saying". The Germans were well aware that the Enigma was breakable, they just figured it would be too much effort. It really was, the total resources pored into breaking the Enigma was on par with the Manhattan project and the moon landing (ie US space program during the 1960s). The Germans did some changes to increase security during the war, but had they suspected how completely Enigma was broken they would probably have abandoned it. 172.68.182.202 17:50, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
I think the whole paragraph about informatics at the bottom is missing the point. That explanation is based on the premise that Cueball was told the problem was a "hard problem" (a formal type of problem) and didn't understand. Megan never used the formal term "hard" in describing the problem. She merely said that her field had struggling for years.162.158.79.5 13:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Agreed — she uses "hard", but later in the title text. What's still true is that the problem might still have a solution that is "simple" (you can explain it in a paragraph) but hard-to-find (it took decades to find it), and they haven't proved that's not the case. But most would still call a problem with such a solution "hard".
Worse, as a PhD student in CS (programming languages), I'm pretty sure "hard problem" in CS also mean the same as in everyday life—"Boy, this research problem is really hard"—as opposed to NP-hard (which is what the description is attempting to describe in an extremely informal way. I've honestly never heard anybody use "hard" for "NP-hard", though that appears used on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_complexity_theory#Hard. Meanwhile, I went ahead and deleted "Set of algorithms" since that was even less relevant (and didn't bother arguing relevance). http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=1831:_Here_to_Help&diff=139534&oldid=139519. --Blaisorblade (talk) 14:26, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
Yeah, but we're shown some arbitrary problem which Cueball is solving not with Bayesian Inference, or Object Oriented Programming, or String Theory, but with Algorithms -- the one technique where showing something is hard is a formal term. It would be quite a coincidence if this happened by accident.
The current explanation is taking a too tactical or literal approach. Throughout history computer science has presented itself as a solution to a variety of hard problems in other fields using a variety of techniques. These include AI, machine learning and now, big data. In most cases the techniques enter with a lot of fanfare, but later flame out, producing no real gains towards solving the hard problem. For example see all the things that computers were promising back in the 1960's. Cueball simply represents a generic version of these past and present CS fads. Sturmovik (talk) 15:42, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Fixed: Throughout [most of] history computer science has [not existed].

Epitome Of Elegance: Nayanthara Stuns In White In These Pictures Clicked By Beau Vignesh Shivan!
After their Onam celebrations in Kochin with Nayanthara's mother, the couple is out for a family getaway to Goa and the Naanum Rowdy Dhan director has clicked some beautiful pictures of Nayanthara and his mother. He has also shown us some sneek peak into the luxurious stay. But mostly, Vignesh has taken some beautiful pictures of his girlfriend it they are simply stunning. Check them out:
Vignesh Shivan and Nayanthara have been in a relationship for 6 years now and the couple is inseparable. From cute Instagram pictures to constantly appreciating one another during several interviews, they always have each other's back. While Nayanthara remains silent about her relationship, Vignesh Shivan has been open about it.
In a recent interview with an entertainment website, Vignesh shivan opened up about his wedding with Nayanthara and how they have fixed several wedding days for the couple. On a funny note, Vignesh Shivan said that he and Nayanthara have apparently gotten married about 22 times according to media reports.
He said that they are in a happy place in their relationship right now and will start thinking about marriage when they are bored of dating life.
"Rumours about wedding keep coming up from time to time. We both have professional goals to achieve. We cannot think about marriage before that. Also, we are happy with the way things are, right now." he said.
On the professional front, it has been reported that the film Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kadhal will be directed by Nayanthara's beau and filmmaker, Vignesh Shivan, and has been titled "Kaathu Vaakula Rendu Kadhal". Lalit Kumar's 7 Screen Studios is set to produce the film and Anirudh Ravichander is to be roped in as the music composer. It would be a huge delight for Samantha and Nayanthara fans since they will be sharing the big screen for the first time. As reported earlier, Vignesh Shivan and Vijay Sethupathi got together a few days back to discuss the film.
Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara teamed up earlier in the 2015 hit "Naanum Rowdy Dhaan" which was also written and directed by Vignesh Shivan himself. The Tamil film was later dubbed into Telugu as "Nenu Rowdy Ne". Vijay Sethupathi and Samantha also worked with each other on the 2019 film "Super Deluxe" though they did not share screen time together.
Apart from Kaathuvaakkula Rendu Kadhal starring Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha Akkineni, he is also reportedly directing Sivakarthikeyan for his next. Whereas, Nayanthara is on top of her game today. From doing a confident beauty campaign with Bollywood star Katrina Kaif to doing some daring roles in her upcoming film Netri Kann, the actress is an inspiration today. Produced by Ishari Ganesh who also produced LKG, Mookuthi Amman is a film written and directed by RJ Balaji. The film sees Nayanthara in the role of Mookuthi Amman and the first look has created a lot of curiosity.

Louisa Mak Downgrades Her TVB Contract
By melodyc on November 30, 2019 in NEWS
In recent years, TVB fa dans have been leaving the nest one by one. Since Nancy Wu ( 胡定欣) wants to become a singer and Kristal Tin (田蕊妮) is just waiting for her contract to end to retire, the company had its sights set on making Louisa Mak (麥明詩) the "number one sister." Yet, the latest news indicates that Louisa plans to switch career paths after being in the industry for only four years.
To pursue freedom, the heavily promoted Louisa gave up her full-time artiste contract that many people yearn for and changed to a yearly per-series contract, also known as a "green leaf contract." Born into a well-off family, the 27-year-old Louisa doesn't mind the huge drop in income and reportedly started working as a consultant in a lawyer's office to show off her strengths!
She Gave Up Her Smooth-Sailing Acting Career
Known for being a straight-A student and a Cambridge law graduate, Louisa successfully won the crown at the 2015 Miss Hong Kong pageant for her academic achievements. After signing a contract with TVB, her career was on the rise. She filmed several dramas and took on hosting gigs, including the talk show Young and Restless <後生仔傾吓偈>, which she co-hosts withCrystal Fung (馮盈盈). The program's bold and honest conversations drew in a large audience of young viewers.
Since then, the two beauty queens have frequently been compared by netizens. Since Crystal often receives attention for her sexy image and eyebrow-raising statements, Louisa also posts her sexy photos on social media to compete with Crystal. While the public was waiting to see who would come out on top, Louisa suddenly went missing in action. The last time she was seen on screen was for the Young and Restless Canadian special.
Louisa also expressed on social media that she has been down in the dumps lately and took a month off work to go diving in Okinawa to cheer herself up. She was also absent from the TVB Anniversary Gala show this year.
She Didn't Want to Let her Studious Efforts go to Waste
It is known that TVB approached Louisa for a contract renewal when her contract was about to expire, but she has been trying to delay it by saying she's busy. The truth is she is thinking about her next move! Until recently, she finally decided that her youth is limited, and she didn't want to waste her years of hard-work spent studying law. Also, she obtained her license to practice law in the United States last year.
To pave the road for her future, she decided to become a consultant at a law firm! Even though TVB proposed a favorable renewal contract for her, Louisa refused to renew and only signed a contract that allows her to film one show per year.
When reporters reached out to her on this matter, she acknowledged she signed the "green leaf contract." Although her income had been greatly reduced, she said arrogantly, "I don't only look at money, this change is so that I'd have more flexibility with my schedule. I want to have more private time. In short, I am not a law intern! I won't comment much on other matters; right now I'm taking a break and resting at home! I'll go back and shoot a show from time to time."

I think she's a very rational woman, and this is a good choice. What's someone with an Oxford degree doing getting paid measly salary by TVB? If I were her, I'd quit too.

Louisa Mak is not pretty, but she is a smart girl. I could see it in her program "Young and Restless" She is definitely smarter than Crystal Fung in hosting. However, she cannot act in dramas while Crystal acts pretty well for a newbie.
Louisa definitely has to take a big drop in money if she signs TVB on a "Green Leaf Contract". However, I think she knows that she is not pretty vs. TVB actresses and can't act, she will not have much security working in TVB. If she works as a law consultant or lawyer, her income will be less but secure. Moreover, it is under her control. If she works hard, she will easily get what she wants due to her name and fame. Perhaps she does not want to waste her efforts in studying law school. Louisa is a girl with brain. She knows what she can get best.

If Louise was not planning to practise law in Hong Kong, she wouldn't have written the Bar Exam. in New York.

@orchid123 yes, she has said before that when she walks into TVB, she's surrounded by co-workers who are prettier

I have a question. Perhaps the people in New York State can help me. Bar Examinations require law students to complete their articling programs. However, I don't think Louisa Mak had done any articling programs after she finished her law degree in Cambridge, UK. How did she qualify for the Bar Examination in Albany, New York? I understand that a law student in North America (US and Canada) will be able to get his/her licence to practice law after he/she has passed the Bar Exam. It looks like that Louisa Mak has got her licence from the New York State to practise law there without doing any articling program. Moreover, a law degree (LL.B) in UK is a 4-year undergraduate program while a law degree (J.D.) in the States is a 3-year post-graduate program after a 4-year undergraduate program. A law degree overseas is not equivalent to a law degree in Canada. Therefore, people have completed a law degree in other than North America will be required to do extra studies and to pass the Bar Examination before they can get their licences to practise law in Canada.

This girl is living the life but to be fair she earned it. She's smart so taking the detour to be Miss HK and signing with TVB gives her reputation and experiences an ordinary law student would never get.
I wish I could just take one month vacation in Japan lol

a good decision made by her! she's a smart girl with a law degree from cambridge so of course tvb is not the place to stay. especially when her looks and acting skills are not as good as others. although i do like her hosting – especially in young & restless, she'd be much better off in the law industry than talking about young adult issues. but honestly, i could tell this was going to happen when i saw she had gotten her US license earlier in the year. anyways, best of luck to her.

This is a great online color tester and designer. Unlike other hex code color testers, this application can also test hex colors on a selected background and guides you in color mixing. Type the color(s) in 3 or 6 digit hex code format eg. #592906, #520 or RGB numbers format eg. 89, 41, 6. Backgroud color is optional. Default value FFFFFF (white) is selected when no value supplied for bg color. (Note: no matter whether the symbol # is used in hex code or not.) The online color tester also helps you to select the harmonic color combinations. The complementary, triadic, analogous, split complementary, tetradic and square color schemes in the Color combining guide recommend you the best color groups for the two, three or four color design. You can also pick up the colors from the gradient scale, best brightness (lightness) level from tints or shades scale and the best suitable vibrance level from the saturation scale. Moreover you can pick the color you like from the random color palette generator. Color tester also shows you the negative and monochrome (grayscale) representation of selected color and the closest websafe color. You also find there the RGB and CMYK representations calculation.
Dummy text written in hex #592906 color on a background color. Text in color #592906 on the desired background color will look just like this. You just see the hex #592906 colored text written on a hex #FFFFFF color backgroud... Or you can't see, if you selected the wrong combination of colors :). The background color should be selected so that the intended #592906 text color is well visible on it. Alternatively, you can choose text color different than #592906 to achieve better text readability. It can be rounded to the 3 character hex code #520. The RGB values of the #592906 hex color are R: 89, G: 41, B: 6. In percentage it is Red: 34.9%, Green: 16.1%, Blue: 2.4%. The CMYK values of the #592906 hex color are C: 0, M: 0.539, Y: 0.933, K: 0.651. The nearest web safe color is #663300. Test of bold text in selected color. Test of italic text in the color. Finally the test of bold italic.

This has been a big year for Matthew McConaughey. He essentially dominated the awards season, he appeared in a number of celebrated films, he starred in the critically acclaimed HBO series True Detective and his hotly-anticipated sci-fi thriller Interstellar comes out in two weeks.
To celebrate McConaughey and his contribution to film, the American Cinematheque held a star-studded gala in his honor, and ET caught up to the Oscar winner on the red carpet.
ET's Kevin Frazier had to ask the actor how he kept his recent monumental success in perspective.
"I went back to work [this year] and did two more films that I'm more excited about than anything I've done," McConaughey told ET. "I'm happy to say that each film I've been doing, the next one turns out to be my most favorite film. And I'm glad that keeps happening… I'm loving my career. I'm loving the work I'm doing more than I ever have in my life."
The celebrated star of Dallas Buyers Club andKiller Joe also spoke about the honor being presented to him at the event.
"Tonight I'm getting honored for 22 years of my career," McConaughey shared. "And they're saying, 'Hey, we think what you've done made an excellent contribution to the art of cinema.' That's pretty humbling."
"I'm 44, getting this award," the star added. "If you would have asked me 20 years ago, 'Would that be nice to get that, and if you did when would it be?' I sure probably would have said older than now!"
Check out the video for more from the acclaimed star, and hear from two of his past co-stars Kate Hudson and Jessica Chastain on what makes McConaughey's star shine so bright.


We have stayed next door at Cyprina Beach for many, many years. This is our first experience at Sandalfoot. We found it to be exceptional in comfort and amenities. The unit is quaint and perfect for our needs. We look forward to staying here frequently in the future - since we have relocated to Florida - and we love our Sanibel so much...thanks so much!
So glad you decided to stay with us. We're looking forward to your return.
"Absolutely perfect!!!" This property exceeded my expectations in the view, which was really an ocean view and not obscured by other condos, trees, or swimming pools. I've never enjoyed a rental like this before! The kitchen was totally equipped with everything you need. Management most accommodating. The location on the east end of the island was the best and not as commercialized. I couldn't have asked for anything more! I rated everything with "excellent".
This unit was excellent! I've recommended it to my friends that live in Sanibel and my friends at home.
We got warm in the night the first night. Finding a fan in closet was a blessing and wonderful! Made our time here perfect. Loved the bed, good and firm? We want to come again!


Just finished a two-day intensive "presenter training" in preparation for the LA-Orange County NGSS Framework/Rollout #4 Symposium scheduled for June 7-8, 2017 at Excelsior High School in Norwalk.
Breakout sessions were well-designed and will provide great modeling and appropriate connections to the various chapters in our new California Science Framework.
Participants will be able to choose the breakout session appropriate to both their grade level and adopted instructional model (integrated vs. discipline-specific).
This Rollout will be extremely helpful to both teachers and administrators to help "frame" their implementation of NGSS. I am really excited about being part of this Rollout!


Eagles gone for a Burton?
defeat in row. writes Gordon Law.
This latest setback leaves the Eagles just four points above the drop-zone, but manager Alan Smith insists his side did not deserve to lose the match against Terry Burton's side.
Smith said: "How we have not got something out of this game is unbelievable and nobody can say this was a fair result.
"If we were getting mullered every week I would be worried, but we're not. We've lost five on the bounce but three of them have been one-nil and I'm confident that when we get some of our senior players back we won't have too much of a problem.
Even so, it was Wimbledon's Patrick Agyemang who stole the show with an outstanding performance, netting the only goal of the game after 22 minutes and he was perhaps unlucky, not to get another, but the linesman disallowed it.
Eagles' best chance of the game when his header struck the post.
Meanwhile, Neil Ruddock said he is prepared to sit out his contract and strive to win back his place in the side despite being told he can leave the club on a free transfer.
The Eagles face a tough match against champions-elect Fulham at Selhurst Park on Saturday, kick-off 3pm.

Brave browser version 0.7 launched on January 20, 2016. Like other browsers, the Chromium web browser serves as the base for Brave. Yet Brave differentiates itself in a variety of ways. For example, Brave blocks advertisements and web site trackers by default. In doing so, Brave intends to make the browsing experience both faster, safer and more private when compared to other web browsers. Additionally, Brave has integrated HTTPS Everywhere to help redirect sites you visit to HTTPS. In the future, Brave wants to collect Bitcoin micropayments and display "better ads" to compensate web site publishers for lost advertising revenue.
On April 7, 2016, representatives of multiple newspaper publishers issued a cease and desist letter to Brave Software. The letter said, "Your plan to use our content to sell your advertising is indistinguishable from a plan to steal our content to publish on your own website." In response, Brave said in a statement that it "is the solution [to ad-blocking], not the enemy." Brave also published a separate response on its web site.
Brave released version 0.55 on October 18, 2018. The new release represents a move away from its Muon version (Brave 0.25.2) to a Chromium version. The change, which brings a 22% increase in page load times compared to its Muon counterpart, allows Brave to leverage Chromium's stability, and Google Chrome's features and APIs.

Meet the woman behind A Courageous Heart – a journal to support women through their fertility journey
By Edaein OConnell
A Courageous Heart is a unique journal that is helping people make sense of their fertility journeys and putting self-care at the forefront
Fertility journeys are complex stories.
Each is different, with some happier than others. Whether trying naturally or through medical intervention, it's a testing time for any woman. Emotions come into play and thoughts become entangled, crowding your everyday view. Most of us know what it feels like for your brain to feel muddled – it's all noise but no music.
Journalling and documenting your thoughts is a powerful way to put notes together. And one woman is helping others to do just that with a daily fertility journal.
A Courageous Heart was created by Cork native Caryn Pick over a year ago. The inspiration for the journal came from Caryn's own fertility treatment and story. She had been writing notes and thoughts in various places throughout the experience but felt there was no structure and she became lost in it. "I lost a little bit of myself as well because the focus became very much about keeping track of all of this information I was trying to hold."
A post shared by Courageous Heart Journal (@courageousheartjournal) on Jan 22, 2020 at 2:33pm PST
She then began reading poetry, affirmations, and placing a greater focus on self-care as she was going through the procedures. "I started feeling better in myself," she says. "I tried to combine the two and at the time I was creating the templates of what would become the Courageous Heart journal. I married two elements. The first was how I could be a little kinder to myself going through such a tender time and two how could I keep track of everything I was experiencing."
Her goal is to give back to those who are going through treatment or trying to conceive saying, "the journal is a little piece of equipment to try and help you to feel better."
It's an emotional time but Caryn believes that by journalling you gain self-awareness and this is empowering. With fertility, everything both the good and bad is out of your control but the journal helps you to claim some back. "You start to go 'I know myself' and I know that I am feeling this way and now I have the tools to help me", Caryn explains. "It's a journey and it's not always pleasant but being able to maintain that little bit of control helps you to be better for yourself."
A post shared by Courageous Heart Journal (@courageousheartjournal) on Feb 17, 2020 at 11:24am PST
Nudes, pale pinks, and soft greens are colours used in the design and help to create an almost calming quality. Caryn said this was intentional as she wanted the journal to be a calming experience and used as part of a self-care ritual. "It's not that I don't like bright colours, but I purposefully chose those tones to set a scene. And I think if you can do that with a product that someone can feel and pick up, you immediately create an atmosphere."
The journal is completely un-dated without days or months. It also doesn't make reference to sex, orientation, or whether you are in a couple. Caryn had seen many journals before where both parents were mentioned, even though many women choose to have children on their own. Others assumed it was a heterosexual couple and so she wanted to make it as broad as possible for everyone to use.
"I wanted people to have freedom, and not have anxiety about having to log every single day. I know that I felt anxious myself from reading other journals where I felt obliged to write something. Again, I wanted to give back control to those using it so that they could pick and choose and not feel tied down to another thing they had to do."
It goes without saying that fertility journeys are complex, complicated, and emotional, but this little journal is lending a helping hand to those courageous hearts.
The A Courageous Heart journal is available to buy on Etsy now.

Why Are The Extended Cut Versions of D.C.'s Films Better Than The Theatrical Releases?
By Alasdair M. Thornton
So, here we are, three DC films into the D.C. Extended Universe. Some people have enjoyed the films, some haven't. That's fine. You're not going to make everyone happy with a film. Hell, even some people disliked THE DARK KNIGHT. Those people are wrong, and I wish nothing but the worst for them, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Some of the criticism of the last two films BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and SUICIDE SQUAD is valid. In DAWN OF JUSTICE's case, there has been criticism that the film was geared towards people who read the comics, and that the story itself was a little weak in some spots to follow.
In SUICIDE SQUAD's case, the cast seemed to be thrown together. There wasn't enough backstory given to some of these villains (in this case antiheroes). It left the casual fan either confused or disinterested in certain characters. After viewing the extended cuts of both of these films, it seems as though the problems the fans have complained about get fixed. This begs the question — why the hell aren't these extended cuts released as the theatrical versions?
Unfortunately, that is not an answer anyone who doesn't work at D.C. can answer definitively. It could be the studios trying to keep the films at a PG-13 rating. As we all know, parents will take their children to a PG-13 movie. DAWN OF JUSTICE's extended cut was rated R. DC films may restrict themselves to a certain length. DAWN OF JUSTICE's extended cut lasts over three hours. This might prove too long for some people. However, three-hour films are certainly not unheard of. Some, generally, are very good.
READ: Want to read our review of SUICIDE SQUAD? Click Here!
This is the case with DAWN OF JUSTICE's extended cut. As mentioned above, many of the complaints about this film came from the story's lack of cohesiveness. Who is that character, why are these characters there, MARTHA!, etc. While nothing really can be done about the last example, the extended release certainly fixes the first two issues. While the most obvious example was the deleted scene titled "Communion", in which it is shown that Lex Luthor had been talking to Steppenwolf, Darkseid's uncle and trusted general of his armies, there are multiple examples of this story connecting down throughout the extended cut.
One of the most confusing and seemingly pointless parts of the theatrical cut is the whole stray bullet plot thread; where did it come from? Who cares? Why is this a central part of the story? The extended cut answers this question by having Lois explain she thinks the U.S government supplies arms and ammunition to rebels while claiming to stay neutral.
While the story progresses to focus on the importance of the metal the bullet is made of, this version of the film doesn't keep the viewer in the dark as to what Lois is actually doing. Speaking of that bullet, the extended version of the film answers why everyone thinks Superman committed the massacre in Africa. It shows the character Anatoli Knyazev actually burning all of the people that were killed. It demonstrates how one could easily shift the blame to Superman.
Finally, and most importantly, the extended release gives us an answer as to how Luthor was able to concoct such an elaborate scheme. He knows who Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne really are. This revelation in the scene where Batman visits Luthor in jail not only brings closure to as to why Lex would do something like this but as to how he was able to create such an elaborate plan is truly an essential part of the plot. And it really is surprising that it was left out of the theatrical cut in the first place.
While DC film's adaptation of the Suicide Squad doesn't have nearly the amount of holes that DAWN OF JUSTICE does, its theatrical version is not without its flaws as well. The main critique of this D.C. film seems to be the lack of a backstory to the main characters and their lack of meaningful interaction with each other. So what does that mean for the extended cut?
Surprise surprise, virtually all of the new footage deals with either the backstory of the members of the Suicide Squad or contains some type of meaningful interaction! The most prominent of these new scenes are the multiple flashbacks shown between The Joker and Harley which establish how exactly they go from patient/doctor to lovers, as well as Deadshot's relationship with his daughter. While those are the scenes with the "major" stars, there are also scenes that humanize Killer Croc, emphasize how Katana's story is definitely is worth exploring in another film and makes Rick Flag's and June Moon's love seemed less forced.
READ: Want to read our review of DAWN OF JUSTICE? Click Here!
Why D.C. is releasing these extended cuts at a later date is anyone's guess. It could be a money grab. It could be for the sake of time constraints, it could even be because D.C. listens to the reviews and then fixes the films as they see fit. This idea is not something a fan of D.C. really wants to consider. However, it's certainly not outside the realm of possibilities. Remember when all of those reports came out that SUICIDE SQUAD was going through major reshoots because DAWN OF JUSTICE was seen by a lot of fans as being too dark? Warner Bros. ended up spending over $65 million on those reshoots. So to say D.C. doesn't take public opinion into account isn't really something I'd buy.
DC Films: A Universe Established Too Quickly?
Another possible reason for these last two DC films coming across messy is that DC films try to establish a universe quickly. While having two-thirds of your films star an ensemble cast is a great way to do this, DC films will overlook obvious plot holes and sacrifice much-needed character development in order to get all of their characters on screen at once. Maybe it was too early for films like DAWN OF JUSTICE and SUICIDE SQUAD. MAN OF STEEL is DC Films' most highly rated film. One could make the argument that DC films would have been better off taking the approach Marvel did and introducing their main characters one by one, in stand-alone films. However, in the words of Lex Luthor "The bell has already been rung" — no turning back now.
All we can do is hope that the DC films figure it out. It's not a good sign when two of your three films are better quality the second time they get released.

Q: NSTimer not functioning as expected I have looked a number of different posts related to NSTimer issues, and I have tried so many different combinations to get it to work the way I want, however I am still unable to get it working correctly.
I have two requirements for timers, one is a repeating timer that pulls data from a web service every 10 seconds. This seems to be working fine. The second requirement is that whenever a value is updated in the interface, that a non-repeating timer is created that will change the text colour of the value in the interface 0.3 seconds after the value changes.
I can only seem to get the text colour changing the first time, and it will not change subsequently... It is driving me insane.
Here's some code...
In the interface I define a property:
@property (strong) NSTimer *colorTimer;

In the implementation, this is the function that gets called whenever the value needs to be updated in the interface:
- (void)setBtcValue:(float)value
{
    bool moveIsPositive = (value > btcValue) ? true : false;
    bool moveIsNeutral = (value == btcValue) ? true : false;
    btcValue = value;
    if(moveIsPositive && !moveIsNeutral)
    {
        [uiValueTextField setTextColor:[NSColor greenColor]];
        self.colorTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.3 target:self selector:@selector(resetTextColor) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

    } else if(!moveIsPositive && !moveIsNeutral)
    {
        [uiValueTextField setTextColor:[NSColor redColor]];
        self.colorTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.3 target:self selector:@selector(resetTextColor) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
    }
    NSNumberFormatter *formatter = [[NSNumberFormatter alloc] init];
    [formatter setNumberStyle:NSNumberFormatterCurrencyStyle];
    [uiValueTextField setStringValue: [formatter stringFromNumber:[NSNumber numberWithFloat:btcValue]]];
    [uiValueTextField sizeToFit];
    NSRect newFrame = NSMakeRect(0, 0, uiValueTextField.bounds.size.width+20, self.view.bounds.size.height);

    [self.view setFrame:newFrame];
}

The function that is fired when the timer goes off is as follows:
- (void) resetTextColor
{
    NSLog(@"Timer Fired");
    [uiValueTextField setTextColor:[NSColor blackColor]];
    [self.colorTimer invalidate];
    self.colorTimer = nil;
}

I know it doesn't make sense to have the timer repeating and then manually invalidating it, but as stated I have tried this using repeats set to NO, using local variables instead of a property, using weak, strong, assign, retain... The behaviour is ALWAYS the same... Fires the first time, never after that.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated... I am a C# developer learning Objective-C, and as such everything is still very unfamiliar to me! Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: Here is the AppDelegate that sets up the main timer which is the caller of setBtcValue:
#import "LBAppDelegate.h"
#import "LBBitStampCommunicator.h"

@implementation LBAppDelegate
@synthesize statusItem;
@synthesize statusItemViewController;
@synthesize bitStampManager;
@synthesize dataTimer;

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
    // Insert code here to initialize your application
    [self activateStatusMenu];
    bitStampManager = [[LBBitStampManager alloc] init];
    bitStampManager.communicator = [[LBBitStampCommunicator alloc] init];
    bitStampManager.communicator.delegate = bitStampManager;
    bitStampManager.delegate = self;

    dataTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10 target:self selector:@selector(fetchData) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];
}

- (void)activateStatusMenu {
    NSStatusBar *bar = [NSStatusBar systemStatusBar];
    statusItem = [bar statusItemWithLength:NSVariableStatusItemLength];
    statusItemViewController = [[LBStatusItemViewController alloc]init];
    [statusItem setView:statusItemViewController.view];
    [statusItemViewController setBtcValue: 8888.88f];
}

- (void)didReceiveData:(LBTicker *)data {
    [statusItemViewController setBtcValue:[data.last floatValue]];
}

- (void)fetchingDataFailedWithError:(NSError *)error {
    [statusItemViewController setBtcValue:0.00f];
}

- (void)fetchData {
    [bitStampManager.communicator getData];
}

@end

A: Have you considered instead of trying to spawn a timer; to do an animation with a 0.3 sec fade in? That way you just listen for the notification and set off the animation and let the system do the rest.

Can I do this, maintaining the privacy of the root certificate while generating an unlimited number of disposable sub-certificates that would still be recognized as valid by the original signing authority?

A: If you need more then one domain covered by SSL, you need to buy a wildcard SSL certificate. This covers a domain name and all sub-domains. Remember to create your SSL cert for *.example.com: otherwise you only sign your normal domain.
If you have two different domains you need SSL for each domain.
Or if you have only one subdomain, sometimes two normal SSL certs are cheaper than a wildcard.

A: No, that won't work.
In order to sign certificates you need your own certificate authority certificate. The certificates you purchase are signed by a certificate authority, but specifically marked as not being a certificate authority certificate.
Check the "Certificate Basic Constraints" in your certificate, and you will see that it "Is not a Certification Authority".


Rhipsalis pachyptera is an epiphytic cactus, semierect to somewhat pendent, spineless, freely branching, up to 5 feet (1.5 m) long. The stems are robust, with many large wide leaf-like joints that are often referred to as leaves. These flattened stems are broadly elliptic and leathery, pale fresh green to deep green in color and sometimes tinged reddish. It is an outstanding species often developing many buds at one areole. Flower creamy-yellow or whitish, up to 0.6 inch (1.5 cm) long and up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, followed by many white fruits, reddening in the sun (often pinkish or reddish when immature).

Downtown Opelika's Taylor Made Designs will hold a 2-day birthday celebration Feb. 21-22 to commemorate its 18th year in business.
During those two days, the shop will offer customer contests and games, storewide discounts, snacks, refreshments and more in recognition of this milestone, according to owner Taylor Sumrall.
Started in the late 80s by Sumrall's mother Lynn Bradakis, the business began with a focus on custom frames before expanding into handcrafted jewelry. During the next decade, increased demand prompted the opening of a physical storefront, the space at 120 S. 8th St. that exists today. Sumrall oversees most of the day-to-day operations and Bradakis is still creating the shop's beloved jewelry.
Other store discounts and specials will be publicized in the coming days.

Science Translational Medicine Reports First Successful Treatment for Ménétrier's Disease
by: Nadia Ramlagan
A new study points to the first effective medical treatment for Ménétrier's disease, over a hundred years after the rare stomach disorder was first described by French pathologist Pierre Ménétrier. Most commonly affecting adults, Ménétrier's disease causes ridges along the inside of the stomach wall—called rugae—to enlarge, forming giant folds in the lining of the stomach. The condition puts affected individuals at an increased risk for gastric cancer.

"There are probably about 500 reported cases of this disease in the literature since it was first identified," said Robert Coffey, co-author of the study and professor of Medicine, Cell and Developmental Biology at Vanderbilt University.
What causes Ménétrier's disease is unclear, but it is thought to be an acquired disorder with no known genetic component. Recent studies suggest people with Ménétrier's disease have stomachs that make abnormally high amounts of a protein called TGF-alpha. With no effective drugs available for this disease, the last line of defense for patients has been removal of all or part of the stomach.
Now, Coffey and colleagues report a study of nine patients with severe Ménétrier's disease treated with the anti-cancer drug Cetuximab, which blocks the binding of TGF-alpha to a certain receptor in the stomach.
Because the disease is so rare, it took eight years to gather these patients. Of the seven patients who completed the one month treatment, all showed significant improvement in symptoms and biochemical features of the disease; including decreased production of TGF-alpha in the stomach, fewer stomach folds, and reduced abdominal pain, vomiting, and swelling in the feet and ankles. Remarkably, four of the participants' excess stomach folds disappeared almost completely.
Cetuximab is already approved by the FDA for treatment of patients with colorectal cancer, and there are ongoing efforts to seek approval of the drug for Ménétrier's disease.

Late FCY puts pay to Beechdeans clever ELMS strategy
Beechdean Aston Martin Racing's trip to the Styria Mountains in Spielberg brought the team a strong points haul at the third round of the 2016 European Le Mans Series. Andrew Howard, Darren Turner and Alex MacDowall finished the four hour endurance race in fourth place after a race long battle with competing Ferrari's and Porsche's, earning valuable championship points.
Competitive stints by each of the drivers and an intelligent race strategy by the team engineers put the Beechdean Aston Martin Vantage V8 GTE car in contention for a podium position in the closing stages of the race. A late race Full Course Yellow (FCY) period gave rival cars the opportunity to make a splash and dash fuel stop, giving them an advantage in the closing stages.
"The circuit was a fast flowing track and once the traffic settled down I really enjoyed the chance to drive at a constant pace." Said a satisfied Howard. "A circuit like Red Bull Ring allows drivers the time to develop as the tire degradation is quite consistent and times could be improved. I really enjoyed this factor of the race."
Aston Martin Racing factory driver Turner commented, "The first hour of the race was certainly exciting. Once Andrew handed the car over to me I had to get my head down and get as far up the field as I could on his Dunlop tires. I had a really fun stint and a fair battle with (Andrea) Bertolini in the winning Ferrari. Our strategy was good but the last FCY played into our competitors hands. The championship is still very close and it is there for the taking."
Alex MacDowall, who was in the thick of the GTE action at the end of the race said, "I'm really happy with how the team performed this weekend! We nailed every pit stop and Darren and Andrew drove the best I have seen so far. I'm satisfied with how I drove and it wasn't an easy job to take a double stint at the end. I did everything I could to defend and not lose time. The full course yellows meant we came away with fourth which is disappointing but we're still in the battle for the lead"
After the results from the Red Bull Ring, the Beechdean AMR #99 is second in the 2016 European Le Mans Series GTE standings, just a mere point off the top spot. In six weeks' time the ELMS will head for Circuit Paul Ricard in the south of France for the fourth round of the championship.

The First Superman Comic Sells for a Record $3.2M on eBay
By: eBay Inc. Staff
After 10 days of competitive bidding, with the first bid at $1M only three minutes into the auction, Action Comics #1 has found a new home after breaking auction records. Selling for $3.2M, $1.04M more than the previous record, this sale price comes as no surprise given the pristine condition of this copy. With crisp white pages and a grade of 9.0 from the Certified Guaranty Company (CGC), this copy sold by Darren Adams of Pristine Comics, is widely regarded as the "Holy Grail" of comic books, given its one of approximately 50 unrestored original copies of Action Comics #1 still in existence.
The previous record for the most expensive comic book was set in 2011 when another copy of Action Comics #1 with off-white pages sold for $2,161,000. Though the book itself was initially priced for $.10 when it hit newsstands in 1938, the prices have hit the stratosphere because this is the comic that introduced the character of Superman for the very first time. Now, 76 years later, Action Comics #1 continues to play a significant role in pop culture having originated the modern Superman superhero franchise.
"This was a record auction for eBay as it was the most expensive comic book ever sold on our marketplace. The sale of Action Comics #1 is a prime example of how eBay plays a role in popular culture by connecting shoppers to must-have merchandise, including rare and valuable collectibles," said Gene Cook, General Manager of Emerging Verticals for eBay Marketplaces. "This was an extraordinary opportunity to bring a comic – one that has captured the attention of passionate collectors and casual fans alike. We will continue to bring more of the world's most unique and compelling merchandise to our passionate and global community of 149 million buyers, at a wide range of accessible price points."
A portion of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation.
