Judson P. Philips rubbed elbows with movie stars and directors. He owned a newspaper and scratched out columns in others. He penned hundreds of stories in pulp magazines, digests and slick magazines, under a trio of pen names. His words flooded radio, television and film. He faced down Newsweek editors, owned an equity summer stock theater and boosted many ingenues to fame. He filled pulp magazines like Argosy with stories about tough detectives, smooth-talking criminals, and down-and-out athletes who make Rocky-like comebacks. As "Hugh Pentecost," he graduated into the lucrative slick-paper magazines and burgeoning paperback mystery field. Despite awards and financial gain, he deemed himself a failure-His famous "Hugh Pentecost" pen name came at a price, and five marriages cost him more in emotional capital. Once a Pulp Man: The Secret Life of Judson Philips as Hugh Pentecost unveils the man who sneered at Yul Brynner, ignored McCarthyism, proposed to dozens of women, and created a lasting legacy of entertainment. Audrey Parente established her credentials with author biographies like Pulpmaster: The Theodore Roscoe Story and Pulp Man's Odyessey: The Hugh B. Cave Story. A retired reporter for The Daytona Beach News-Journal, she spent years preparing this volume. She researched Philip's background, compiling a complete bibliography, and transcribed hours of interviews she conducted with Philips in the late 1980s.

A book full of ... is a book collection that will drive crazy maniacs of detail and should occupy you a good moment. A simple and unique principle: a book filled with one letter with the exception of one, many levels ranging from (relatively) simple to madness
Brian Tarpley and Molly Mitchell embarked on their senior year of high school together as summer ended in 1984 - a summer of bonfires, field parties and jumping off a diving raft into the midnight waters of their fading childhood. Rebecca Tate was a six-year-old girl who enjoyed staying up late with her older sister and turning dead autumn leaves into art projects.As fall turned to winter and winter to spring 1985, a shadow fell across all of them - a shadow darker and colder than the harsh Michigan winter - leaving Brian and Molly's love for each other irrevocably altered and a precocious little girl missing.Thirty years later a discovery is made beneath a vacant parking lot near Detroit - a discovery that will bring these three together again. First loves often burn the hottest and, although they may diminish over time, the embers are rarely extinguished completely. Mixed in with those embers are the painful truths of what happened that year - painful truths that have left indelible marks on so many lives - in a spring of dark happenings.
PHONEy SEX is the amusing true story of a destitute Nashville songwriter, who, in desperation, takes a job as a phone actress. This is not your usual fare of unearthing the nether world of the Adult Entertainment Industry. Even when we're drawn into the dark moments by the heart strings, Ms. Fox artfully manages to lead us out by the funny bone. With inimitable wit and a unique style she serves up a simmering stew of the humorous antics of the not-so-young and not-so-beautiful phone sex performers, peppered with spicy details of bizarre erotic fantasies.The topic may be controversial, but PHONEy SEX, Memoirs of a W.A.S.P. become Queen Bee is as mainstream as the people in it, dispelling the myth that only the decadent and uneducated need apply. More than an exposition, it is a fascinating story about life-- its crises, choices, successes and failures. Above all it is very entertaining.

In Australia, P&O held a near monopoly during the 1980s and ’90s, with their ships Oriana and Fairstar.Today, as part of the giant Carnival Corporation, P&O Cruises remains an iconic brand, offering British-based cruises, world voyages and a specialist Australian subsidiary that sails into the South Pacific.
In this book, I've tried to condense a number of thoughts and insights that I've been struggling with as a minister in a society that is both Post-Modern and 'Post-Christian'. Serving an historic denomination has turned out to be a great vehicle for innovation as it allowed me to offer the church a broader way of doing theology that I believe makes sense in our contemporary life. After all, our Calvinistic roots provide a clarion call for theological innovation. The cry, Reformed and always being reformed has been the motto for Reformed Christians for over five centuries. I've used the late Ben Lacy Rose's very good contemporary view of T.U.L.I.P as a baseline for the series. His insights are priceless. Brian McLaren's brief mention of a kinder, gentler Calvinism in his book A Generous Orthodoxy serves as the outline for much of the content of the five newer ways to view T.U.L.I.P. He makes it easy to build on his brief musings. In fact, McLaren offers a challenge to denominations to take up his suggestions to update their theology for the 21st Century. I guess this is what I'm trying to do in this book.My hope is that these brief chapters will catch your attention and pique your curiosity. By revisiting the old acrostic T.U.L.I.P. in our day, you and the church will appreciate not only our historic viewpoints but also be challenged to consider our faith and beliefs in new ways for a new day. Theology really does matter for believers. I hope this brief work can help the larger church find this to be so. Rev. Dr. Keith Curran, 2021

The second volume of the Giessen Papyri (P.Giss. II) includes an edition of two previously unpublished Greek documents. The first one, numbered 127, is a notebook roll from Philadelphia dated to the last years of Vespasian’s reign, containing nine documents concerning overdue rents for land in the ousiac parces; of particular interest is a draft of a complaint regarding peculation addressed to Ammonios, strategos of the Herakleidou meris. The second, numbered 128, is a fiscal codex from the Hermopolite nome, dated to the second half of the fourth century. This papyrus offers direct insight into many taxation issues, including the method of tax assessment based on the concept of kephale, which is still poorly understood; it also provides information regarding key fiscal changes that occurred after the reforms of Diocletian. The editions of these papyri will help scholars to reconstruct specific details of everyday life in Roman and Late Roman Egypt in areas including taxation, monetary systems, land tenure, onomastics, prosopography, administration, and social and economic situations.
