Thinking about paying for legal fees is a stress on top of the legal situation you are trying to resolve. At The Merna Law Group we offer several affordable options depending on the type of legal service you are seeking to resolve. Schedule a consultation today!
If you can afford $100 per month, you can afford us. Yes, we offer a payment plan of $100 a month to initially begin your bankruptcy. This is a pre-filing payment plan. Your case does not get filed until you reach the balance due. However, you will undoubtedly be instructed to stop paying the debt that will be discharged by your bankruptcy and refer the calls to our office. We will begin working on your case immediately.
With the money you have were using to pay your creditors, you will be able to afford our bankruptcy services and ultimately get your bankruptcy filed and begin recovering your credit and your financial life.
In a rush? Other affordable options are possible but are based on your individual situation. Please schedule a free consultation to discuss available affordable payment options.
If you in need of reorganizing your debt or catch-up on your house payment through a Chapter 13, the good news is you can pay most of the attorney fees through the Chapter 13 repayment plan. How much will be required up front is based on how complicated the case is and requires a free consultation for the attorney to decide on what financial arrangement we can make.
Delaying! Delaying! Delaying! If you are on our site, which you are, you need to call and schedule a free consultation. You may not need to file for a while but waiting will only increase the rush, the chance of losing property, the likelihood it will be more expensive.
There are two types of divorce: contested & uncontested. Uncontested is easy. We will break the fees up over the phases of your case. You can file right away, however, your case proceeds based on your payment plan.
In a contested divorce, you are required to deposit a "retainer"amount depending on the complication and level of dispute. You can fund paying this "retainer" at your leisure. The case, however, will not proceed until the agreed retainer is reached.
Call to schedule a divorce consultation with an attorney the consultation is free is your retain us. However, there is a $100 upfront fee for the consultation which is applied to the fees required in the event you retain us to handle your matter.
We know paying attorney fees to have a lawyer assist you with a legal matter is stressful. However, here is the reality.
Most bankruptcy clients are paying more to support the debt they can't afford in just a few months than what they would pay their attorney to get rid of it forever.
Stressing over money causes delay. Delay causes additional expenses or losses.
A stress-free life truly doesn't start again until you get your legal matter behind you. Make getting it done a priority.
Most people filing divorce just want out. This is a very expensive mind-set. They think they are being the bigger person. However, I have seen clients that would have avoided bankruptcy had they had a divorce attorney to represent them. The reverse is also true. Had people eliminated the debt earlier their relationship might have been salvages. Financial stress is the number one reason given for divorce.
Disclaimer: The Merna Law Group reserves the right not to extend a payment arrangement.

FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State head coach Tim DeRuyter will be welcoming back three of the best pass catchers in school history at Saturday's game against Wyoming when Davante Adams, Bear Pascoe and Stephone Paige will serve as the honorary captains for the Bulldogs.
Since DeRuyter's hiring prior to the 2012 season, he has made an effort to reconnect with alumni and he introduced the honorary captain program as a way to welcome back the former Bulldogs who built the program.
Being an honorary captain gives the former Bulldogs a chance to address the squad on gameday, eat pre-game meal with the team, be in the locker room prior to kickoff to hear DeRuyter's pre-game speech and run out of the tunnel with the `Dogs.
Pascoe, a tight end from 2005-08, was a two-time All-WAC selection for the Bulldogs and he caught 10 touchdown passes in his career. Pascoe is currently in his sixth NFL season, currently playing with the Atlanta Falcons and he caught a touchdown pass in Sunday's game against Detroit. He won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants in 2012 and is one of nine former Bulldogs to win a Super Bowl.


The University of New England wanted a social media video created for its Masters of Social Work program so they contacted CSK Creative to bring out two separate feels from the same library of content.
The first social media video needed to be actual interview footage with some integrated text that would engage viewers even if they didn't have sound on. The second video had interviews with more content but less integrated text callouts. The marketing video team is currently testing each video to see which is the most engaging.
The balance between creating short videos and providing enough content to be useful is especially important in social media videos and CSK Creative can help toe the line in a single video or create two separate videos to engage two separate types of viewers. Contact us for a quote or to discuss more about your social media video needs today.

"In March of 1993 we purchased a nice brand new house as we were to get married a month later. As all our rooms were new, we went to a lighting shop in Moy here in Northern Ireland, where we purchased two of your Fantasia ceiling fans in brass, one for the kitchen and one for the bedroom. With the exception of the blades on the kitchen one which are fading a little now, both fans are as quiet and trouble free as the day we bought them. The kitchen one is on every day, the bedroom one is also on a lot - it is doubtful that some other makes of fans would have lasted so long. Thank you for a wonderful product, now 22 years old!!"
J.W. Kane, Moy, Northen Ireland
"Just a quick note to say that the Phoenix fan is excellent. We also have air conditioning in the conservatory, but with the Phoenix it gives us total fexibility."
Andrew Allen, Chelmsford
"May I offer my sincere thanks and congratulate you on the most efficient speed at which my request for the spare part was completed. I am astounded that in this day and age a company still has such wonderful customer service."
Eddie Woods, Peterborough
"I am very happy with the Mayfair you sent me. They're great fans and it's really nice to find a company that goes so far to help. It's important to know that I have proper backing from good people when I'm installing a product. I will definitely recommend your fans in the future."
Paul Smith, Electrical Contractor, Reading
"Many thanks for the part which works perfectly. I can honestly say that the Fantasia fan was one of the things that attracted me to this house when we bought it 7 years ago. It's worked perfectly and has been a god-send in our south facing breakfast room. Great customer service - thanks again."
Phil Rice, Walton on Thames, Surrey
"I am just writing to say how very impressed both my wife and I are with the service we received from you. You did not try to wriggle out of any claim or warranty – the best service I have received from a company in years. We have 2 of your fans and as we're moving house soon will no doubt will more. A great big THANK YOU, you certainly made our day, week, year!"
Carl Sweeting
"I was more than impressed with the service I received and would highly recommend Fantasia Fans to anyone looking for a reliable ceiling fan."
William Drew, Mid Glamorgan
"Your response may seem like a small thing to you but this is the sort of "can you believe it" type of service that gets talked about and generates masses of goodwill – I wouldn't consider any other brand.
Mike Parkin, Oxfordshire
"This sort of service is unfortunately becoming rare but I have always used your product and this just confirms my loyalty was indeed the correct decision, even though sometimes a less expensive option is tempting.
Steve Bradley, Waltham Abbey
"Thank you for the excellent service – the quality of the product was never in doubt but the after-sales service has more than matched it.
Chris Quinnell, Brighton
"Thank you very much for your response to my initial and subsequent requests – you are the best example of company attitude to customer satisfaction, something that I am sorry to say is missing in many industries today.
Peter Nunn, via email
"Thank you very much for your excellent service. I now know why I chose Fantasia Fans"
Mervyn Sargeant, Wisbech, Cambs
"Just to say thanks again - the part arrived this morning. I still can't believe the service you offer."
Andrea Chubb, Vale of Glamorgan
"The instructions arrived yesterday. Fantasia's after sales service matches the quality of the product. I am impressed and will keep up the recommendations."
Bill Million, Sandwich, Kent
"Thank-you very much for your help, it is indeed most satisfactory. I would go further and say I consider this first class customer service and will recommend your products when ever appropriate."
Jon Larsen, Bridgend
"Just wanted to say THANK YOU, I emailed yesterday to ask if you could supply a spare part and it arrived today! First class service from a first class company – brilliant."
Janet Elliott
"Thanks very much for your very quick response. Fault reported on Wednesday, part received on Thursday (the correct part to boot), fitted in less than 1/2 hour on Saturday. Superb service and a pleasure dealing with you."
Keith Houghton, Widnes, Cheshire
"The customer service shown by you and your company is fantastic and is a very refreshing change. We will certainly be using your products again and recommending you to all our friends and family. Once again thanks for the excellent service"
Dave & Margaret Burrows, St Helens, Merseyside
"Thank you so much for sending the new blades, you're ace! It's rather a surprise to get such good customer care these days, I'm well impressed. As I said I will definitely buy Fantasia again – I work in the electrical industry and should anybody ask me to recommend a good fan I will tell them "get Fantasia"!
Mark Holder, Bridgewater, Somerset
"I received the replacement item this afternoon and I would like to thank you for the efficient manner in the way you dealt with my situation. It was not a major upset but when you are dealing with people as responsive as your good selves, those around you take notice!"

Q: Rx.Observable.from is not a function I started learning reactive programming in javascript using RxJS and it's my first time using node. I don't exactly know what I'm doing wrong. Here is the code:
const array = [
    '1', 'Max', '2', '3', '4', '5', 'IoT', '6', '7', '8', '9'
];

const stream = Rx.Observable.from(array);

This is the error:
TypeError: Rx.Observable.from is not a function
This is what I've tried so far:
I've installed RxJS using node install rxjs, nothing else.
I've tried importing from directly using import:
import { from } from 'rxjs';
When I've tried importing from using import, I've gotten this error:
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module.
I've tried to go in the package-lock.json file and add the type of the module to module, but I've gotten the same error:
This is what I've tried doing to the package-lock.json file:
{
  "requires": true,
  "lockfileVersion": 1,
  "dependencies": {
    "rxjs": {
      "version": "7.4.0",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/rxjs/-/rxjs-7.4.0.tgz",

      "type": "module"
    }
  }
}

Sources:
Cannot use import statement outside a module...
fromArray is deprecated, use from
The question is :
How can I use from in RxJS

A: Your import syntax seems correct, One shouldn't temper XXXX.lock.json file as its strictly for package management purpose.
May be this codeSandbox link could help you understand issue in your setup.

Our bodies' cells didn't evolve to flourish in a petri dish. Even fast-growing skin cells stop dividing and turn thin and ragged after a few weeks outside the body. This natural obstacle limited the therapeutic potential of lab-grown cells – if you can't grow the cells, you can't use them to heal damaged tissue.
Then, a decade ago, Nobel Prize winner Shinya Yamanaka identified a cocktail of genes that, when added to mouse skin cells, transformed them into a new kind of cell that grew happily in ever expanding colonies. More importantly, these cells, dubbed "induced pluripotent stem cells" (iPSC), had their internal clocks set back to an earlier stem cell-like state, giving them the ability to grow into any other cell type found in the body.
using a person's own cells to regenerate damaged tissues or even entire organs. But even as scientists devise new ways to grow heart muscle or neurons from iPSCs and other stem cells, financial constraints could put a personal stock of iPSCs out of reach for all but the wealthiest patients.
Luckily for the rest of us, there are people whose DNA enables their cells to coexist within the immune systems of people not closely related to them, making them, if not universal donors, at least super donors. These donors' skin cells would be used to create off-the-shelf iPSC banks for use in future clinical trials and, potentially, stem cell therapy, said Yamanaka in a presentation at a recent stem cell symposium in Berkeley, California.
Yamanaka discussed the success and setbacks of the first, and to date only, iPSC clinical trial that he and a team of scientists conducted in 2014. Retinal cells were grown from patients' own skin cells and transplanted into their eyes with the hope of restoring vision.
The health and purity of the iPSCs and the final retinal cells was a primary concern for Yamanaka. During the lengthy and involved growth and selection process, the cells can acquire mutations that can turn cancerous. So before the surgery, the team sequenced the genomes of the retinal cells they grew, looking for any unexpected changes to their genes.
The first patient's cells had no serious mutations and were successfully transplanted into her eye. Because they were her cells, immune suppression drugs weren't necessary. While there was no measurable improvement to her vision, it hasn't deteriorated further.
Genome sequencing of the second patient's iPSCs, however, revealed mutations in two genes. They weren't linked to cancers, in fact Yamanaka had never heard of these particular genes before. One mutation was located on the male patient's single X chromosome, so there wasn't a healthy backup copy. And to be safe, they decided to halt the trial in 2015.
On the positive side, Yamanaka's experiment revealed practical limitations of using a patient's own cells for therapy. To make iPSCs suitable for lab research, explained Yamanaka, "you just need one hard-working grad student for three months." To make a clinical-grade cell line, by contrast, it takes a team of 50 people working two years. Every step of the procedure needs to be standardized and documented. For some potential iPSC therapies, like adding neurons after spinal cord injuries, cells may be needed within a few months of the injuries.
Seeing how difficult it is to make iPSCs for clinical uses, it would be ideal to have a bank of generic stem cells stocked and ready to go. Creating such a bank is one of the goals of Japan's Center for iPS Cell Research and Application (CiRA), a joint private-public venture that aims to have such cells available when the retinal cell clinical trial resumes in late 2017.
The problem with using cells and tissues grown from generic iPSCs is the same one plaguing organ transplant medicine, namely, immune system rejection. Human cells have two sets of markers, one inherited from each parent, that tell immune cells to ignore one's own cells. The chance of transplant rejection shrinks with a perfect or close match to these markers. Unfortunately, finding a good tissue match can take years, as witnessed by the long waiting periods on organ donation lists.
As a way around this problem, Yamanaka describes an individual who inherits two identical copies of these immune system-coding markers — a super donor of sorts. Similar to the way someone with type A blood can donate to people with either A or AB blood types, a super donor's iPSC cells could serve a greater segment of the population. Yamanaka points to a particular set of markers that would allow a super donor's cells to match as much as 13 percent of the Japanese population. In fact, because the Japanese population contains fewer genetic variations, just 140 super donors could cover 90 percent of the population. And once an iPSC donor's cell line is stored in the cell bank, it can serve a nearly unlimited number of people.
To find these super donors, CiRA is cooperating with the Japanese Red Cross. Not only are they looking for compatible cell markers, they also need to scrutinize the donor's and their family's health history. And it's critical that the donors understand how extensively their cells might be used. CiRA has already developed their first super donor cell line, and hope to be able to cover 50 percent of Japan's population in the next five years.
A similar endeavor is underway in the United States. The wider genetic diversity of markers within the U.S. population would require a larger team of super donors; it is estimated that 200 donors could cover 95 percent of people in the U.S. A company called Cellular Dynamics International has developed 11 such lines so far, enough to cover 35 percent of the U.S. population.
And best of all, once an iPSC line has been certified mutation free, it can be used to generate all sorts of cells and tissues. So in addition to the blindness trial, Japanese scientists are planning to start a spinal cord damage clinical trial in 2017. Once these stem cell tissue banks are in place, the supply will no longer be a barrier to clinical iPSC trials.

INTERVIEW // Johnny Hunter: A Chat with Nick Hutt on 'Early Trauma', Influences and Isolation
Posted byTemporary Dreamer 13th Aug 2020 13th Aug 2020 Posted inArticles, Interview, ReviewsTags:early trauma, Interview, nick hutt, Tara Campbell
WORDS AND INTERVIEW BY TARA CAMPBELL
In an uncertain time, Nick Hutt, frontman of Sydney Rock band- Johnny Hunter prepares to release their Debut EP- 'Early Trauma'. A phone call later and I got a sense of what to expect from the upcoming release, the journey up until now, whilst getting to know Nick.
Instantly, I'm taken aback by how well-spoken Nick is, and the insight he has on the world around him as well as his music.
So a lot of people always 'Who is Johnny Hunter?', there's no one in the band called Johnny- so where did the name come from?
Keeping the persona vague, Nick begins to speak about who Johnny Hunter is. It's a question he's been asked multiple times- and I can assure you, it's not what the answer you'd expect.
"Johnny Hunter was just a name I thought was pretty cool. Nobody in the band is called Johnny and honestly I think that's pretty funny. It's good to give people round-about answers when they ask about where it came from"
Nick Hutt
We got to speaking about how Johnny Hunter is a persona of all the band members; a combination of all the members' (Nick Hutt, Ben Wilson, Xander Burgess, Nick Cerone and Gerry Thompson) personalities and moralities. Nick spoke about how the band has similar music tastes, in a way I could almost say that the band is a modernised form of the classic punk rockers. The Clash, The Cure, Nick Cave, Joy Division- Johnny Hunter a return to the 80s, with a modernised twist.
What's the journey been for Early Trauma? It's a release that has been a long time coming.
"Honestly, this record came quite naturally. We're always just working on new stuff and last year- or maybe a year and a half ago, we started writing the songs and decided that this would be it."
How would you describe the EP to someone who hasn't ever heard of Johnny Hunter?
"It's a combination of new and old. Wasted youth and the reflection of poor decisions and missed opportunities when you're younger. And how that's shaped you as a person."
Nick and I discuss the influence of parents records and their music taste on our youth, and how Early Trauma is almost a tribute to the songs you'd hear growing up. Familiar nostalgia, with a twist.
Everyone in isolation has picked up some random hobbies or projects, what's been your go-to?
We chat about his new life as a plant-addict, thanks to his girlfriend and how he's glad he's caught onto the plant-wave, something a lot of us can relate to.
"It looks so much better now, I spend far too much time meticulously looking after them. My whole bathroom looks like a rainforest now. It looks sick. I'm never going back to life pre-plants"
Our signature question- If 'Early Trauma' was a colour, what would it be and why ?
My questions hadn't stumped Nick until this one came up, a pause in the phone call displayed his thought process, before he spoke up again to reflect on the EP.
"We've gone with the grey theme for it, and I think you can atone grey to looking back at something that's happened that you're not too happy with. It's a grim colour. The EP is grim, but there's hope to it"
He concludes that it would be a light grey.
We take a moment to reflect upon Johnny Hunter's career so far as a band.
Nick speaks gratefully of the opportunities the band. Meeting in Wollongong, the band always hoped to play Yours and Owls festival, which they ticked off within the first year of the band. He begins to talk about the experience of supporting Jack White (a famous international musician, prominently known for his work in The White Stripes).
"That was crazy, he was a really lovely dude. He did a funny thing… we had just come off stage and spotted him in his band in a pre-show ritual. They were dancing around in a huddle and there was just Jack White and his band jumping around to The Who and screaming the lyrics. It was like watching a bunch of school kids, it was so funny. Definitely an experience I'll never forget"
We speak about his favourite moment from a live show- playing at the same time as the Jungle Giants at Bad Friday. A packed out side-stage and an experience Nick says he will always treasure.
Wrapping up the interview we discuss fans, his music taste, and the future for Johnny Hunter.
"My biggest piece of advice is to listen to as much music as possible and don't be afraid to do something different."
Nick Hutt's Music Recommendations
Kate Bush – 'The Hounds of Love'
DIVE BELL
We discuss local talent, and he recommends The 100, Shady Nasty and DIVE BELL- local up-and-coming acts. He praises younger artists for getting out there, and you can tell Nick just wants to get back on the stage. He wraps up the interview, discussing the possibility of an album after the EP. Telling us to sit tight and keep an eye out for future announcements.
I'm humbled to have had the chance to chat to Nick, his musical insight is brilliant and I have nothing but praise for himself and the band. If you're a fan of anything New Wave, old school punk, or you just like music- you're going to love 'Early Trauma' set to release on August 14th across all platforms.
Keep an eye out for our review of the EP too!

What is Anna Pottery? Pigs, Snakes & Other Animals
Suppose you are an antique collector or a pottery enthusiast. In that case, you may have already heard about Anna pottery since it is considered as one of the holy grails in the pottery industry. However, what exactly is it, and what are its unique characteristics?
If you are interested in knowing more valuable information about Anna Pottery, then you have come to the right page. In this article, you will learn about Anna Pottery's history, design, marks, and patterns.

Anna Pottery Value: Why is it Very Expensive?
Anna Pottery refers to stoneware pieces produced by the Anna Pottery in Anna, Illinois during its operation between 1859 to 1886. Their most popular pieces are jugs that have a distinct snake decoration and pig flask. In addition, most Anna Pottery pieces are salt-glazed. As a result, they have purple, blue, or brown finishes.
The other products produced from the Anna Pottery include the following:
Crocks,
Fruit jars
Cemetery urns
Flower urns
Window sills
Drainage pipes
Tobacco pipes
Cornwall Kirkpatrick
Cornwall has an extensive work background. In 1833, he started as an apprentice in his father's company. He then worked to explore the country for a few months and worked on flatboats around the Mississippi and Ohio River.
Later on, he rejoined the family business and was involved in running a couple of potteries in Kentucky and Ohio. In 1859, he and his brother Wallace founded Anna Pottery. He was a potter and at the same time, also served as the manager mostly in charge of the daily operations, logistics, and accounting of the business.
Aside from being a businessman and a potter, he also ventured into local politics. He was inducted twice as a town trustee. In 1872, he became Anna's first-ever mayor and helped the town to be a cleaner area through his advocacy of cleaning and expansion of the building wells, landscaping, and street systems.
Wallace Kirkpatrick
Wallace Kirkpatrick's knowledge of the pottery business was mostly thanks to his father. Just like his brother, he also spent time exploring the world wherein he joined the Gold Rush in California.
When he and his brother founded Anna Pottery, Wallace was in charge of the sales of the business. He was also the kaolin clay quarry manager.
During his life, Wallace was a known snake enthusiast. He frequently showed his collection of live snakes in fairs and expos to attract customers to his pottery product displays.
The Anna Pottery production was based in a two-story, wood-frame building. The basement level had the clay-grinding equipment which was powered by horses. The drying room was equipped with a hot air furnace and the two kilns that have the capacity for 2,000 gallons each were also in the basement.
Meanwhile, the upper level of the Anna Pottery building is where the storage space is located. The workroom wherein the pottery is made by hand is also at this level.
In the 1860s, Anna Pottery had 11 male employees and they produced pottery around 800,000 gallons per year. This figure is relative to the number of gallons that each container produced.
The Anna Pottery was owned by the Kirkpatrick brothers from 1860-1896. The ownership remained in the family until 1900. Unfortunately, it was closed in 1910 when more people started choosing more modern and practical containers made of glass and tin.
You can recognize an Anna Pottery piece at first glance because it's an absolute standout due to its distinctive look. This is mostly because of the Kirkpatrick brother's handiwork where they made pieces that had realistic snakes writhing around them.
They are also popular for their pig-shaped flasks and drinking cups with frog sculptures.
There is no denying that the pig flask is one of their most popular pieces during their hay day. Today, it is also one of the most-sought after pieces for many antique collectors that specialize in pottery.
The pig flask in particular is primarily made to store whisky. Many of these flasks seem to be souvenirs or calling cards for distributions or bars.
Metaphorically, the pig flask is used to represent the economy of the Midwest. It also depicts the views of the Kirkpatrick brothers when it comes to whiskey consumption. The connotation of the design and engravings in the pig flask suggests that if you drink too much alcohol, then you might end up like a pig.
Snake Jugs are liquid containers with a round body and a long neck which are similar to mugs found in England and Germany between 1550 and 1764. In the US, this jug style became a symbol of the Prohibition. If you are not familiar with Prohibition, it refers to the movement to ban the sale and consumption of alcohol.
The message on the body of the flask has a theme of temperance that suggests public drunkenness and leads to delirium. Also, similar to the pig flasks, it suggests that whiskey is the devil's drink.
This design of Anna Pottery is highly associated with Wallace Kirkpatrick. He was a known collector of live snakes and he brought them with him to fairs and expos to attract more potential customers for their pottery business. At the same time, he also had with him his snake jug to show people.
The Anna Potter snake jugs are often 10 to 12 inches tall. They have long bulbous neck shapes with bearded heads that protrude from their front shoulder. Another distinctive feature of these jugs is that they are covered with various snake densities with a bottom half of the human body that looks like it's diving into the jug.
There are a couple of telltale marks that can help identify whether an Anna Pottery piece is authentic. This includes the following
Many of the Anna Pottery pieces have quotes that reflect Temperance. This refers to a particular religious and political movement in the US that called for a law to ban the production and sale of alcoholic drinks. However, this is quite ironic, given that many Anna Pottery pieces are flasks and were used to hold whiskey.
Many of the Anna Pottery pieces are salt-glazed which is why it is common for them to have blue, brown, and purple finishes. This method of firing can be traced back to 15th century Germany. Pieces that undergo salt-glazing have a high-gloss and translucent look.
As mentioned, Anna Pottery is known for its eccentric designs that have sculptures of pigs, frogs, and snakes. The theme of the pieces also reflects ideas about the love of nature, rural past, history, and temperance.
Roads and Railroad Maps
Many of the pig flask Anna pottery has markings of roads and railroad on the body. For instance, their classic pig piece has patterns of Illinois road from the 19th century. That pattern also portrayed the cities along the road such as Cincinnati and Chicago.
The Anna-Kirkpatrick museum pays homage to the historic pieces that put the town on the map but also to its creators, the Kirkpatrick brothers. It is located at 107 North Main Street, Anna, Illinois.
The museum offers the largest permanent display of Anna Pottery pieces in the United States. It is also the only museum solely dedicated to the said pieces.
Aside from the Anna-Kirkpatrick museum, the Anna pottery pieces are showcased in many museums across the United States. For example, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts has an Anna Pottery vase on view at their American wing.
During the mid-1800s, pottery locations needed two things. First, a nearby bed of clay. Second, access to rivers or rails for supplies and shipping. Anna, Illinois both have these requirements since it has a nearby brown clay bed and a big kaolin clay quarry.
Today, an authentic Anna Pottery piece in good condition costs between $40,000 to $50,000. However, there are extremely rare pieces, like the snake jug auctioned in 2014 that costed more.
In fact, the Leeds Art Foundation bought that particular piece for $87,400. There was even another snake jug piece sold in 2018 that was more expensive because it was bought for $141,000.
Over the 5 decades of the Anna Pottery operation, the Kirkpatrick brothers have produced hundreds of one-of-a-kind pieces that are very attractive to collections.
What's even more special about the Anna Pottery pieces are their distinctive stoneware and eccentric design which is currently very popular in the market. Another reason why Anna Pottery is very expensive is that the American folk pottery, in general, is doing really well.
To this day, the popularity of Anna Pottery among antique collectors and pottery enthusiasts is undeniable. Its unique and eccentric design makes it stand out pottery. On top of that, the artistry and the sculpture on every piece are truly immaculate.

Get ready for some exciting tennis action as this year's last annual Grand Slam Title, US Open Tennis Championship begins this August. US Open is the fourth and chronologically the last Major Tennis Championship title in the world. After Wimbledon, French Open and Australian Open, the US Open is where all the tennis titans from around the world will meet for one last time this year in order to battle for the top spot and a prize-money of over twenty two million dollars. The tournament will be held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center that houses three of the world's largest tennis stadiums.
Initially known as the US National Championship, the US Open is one of the world's oldest tennis championships. The inaugural season of the tournament was played in 1881. After almost a century, in 1987, the tournament became the fourth Major Tennis Championship in the world. Since then the tournament has been played over a period of two weeks, during late August and early September.
In 1978, the tournament was shifted to the Deco Turf courts of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City. The venue comprises of twenty-two state of the art outdoor courts, all consisting of acrylic hard surfaces. The US Open consist of five main championship events including mixed doubles, women's doubles, women's singles, men's doubles and men's singles.
The current 'men's single champion' is Andy Murray where as Mike Bryan and Bob Bryan hold the 'men's double championship' title. The most 'US Open men's singles' titles have been won by Bill Tilden, Bill Larned and Richard Sears; all three of them bagging seven titles each.
The current 'women's single champion' is world number one Serena Williams, who is also the reigning champion of 'Olympic Ladies Single Championship', 'WTA Tour Championship' and 'French Open'. On the other hand, the reigning 'women's double championship' winners are Roberta Vinci and Sara Errani. With eight 'US Open Championships', Molla Bjursted Mallory holds the most number of 'women's single titles'.
Over a period of two weeks, the US Open draws thousands of sports fans from across the world every year. The matches are broadcasted live on major TV networks. However, the thrill and excitement of watching the top tennis players compete can only be enjoyed to the fullest when witnessed live. Therefore, every season thousands of US Open Tennis Championship tickets are bought as soon as they are made available. This year, the fans are once again looking forward to catch the world's top players like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, David Ferrer and Roger Federere live in action. So make sure to be a part of this enlivening tennis experience with friends and family.
Unlike, other three Grand Slam tournaments, the US Open has tiebreaks in every set including the last set.
The organizer of US Open, the United States Tennis Association, is a not-for-profit organization that uses proceeds from high ticket events to develop and promote tennis throughout the country.
The first US Open tournament was held on a grass court and was won by Richard Sears.
The US Open became the first Grand Slam tournament to award equal prize money to men and women single champions in 1973.
The US Open has the distinction of being the only Grand Slam tournament that has been played every year since its inaugural season.

The Wrong Envoy To Syria?
I was surprised to see Jeffrey Feltman as one of the two envoys Obama is sending to Syria to begin talks with President Bashir Al-Asad. Feltman, currently the acting assistant secretary of state for Near East affairs (he is rumored to be keeping the job), was formerly the U.S. ambassador to Lebanon, where he cultivated a staunchly anti-Syrian reputation. Hearing his name still reminds me of the banner that used to hang across downtown Beirut: "Topple the Feltman Government," it read--a reference to his staunch support for the pro-West and anti-Syrian March 14 coalition. The group, which is the major opposition to Hezbollah in Lebanon, came to power in 2005 shortly after the Syrians were ousted from the country--elected in rushed polls that occurred without reforming the corrupt electoral system, in no small part due to pressure from Feltman.
I had the opportunity to interview Feltman, in 2007, when I was living in Beirut, and I was definitely impressed with his knowledge of the region and nuanced positions on Lebanese politics. His distinguished resume includes foreign service stints in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Tunsia, in addition to time spent as former Ambassador Martin Indyk's special assistant on peace process issues.
But I still find it curious that the Obama administration would send someone to Syria who is so closely identified with anti-Syrian partisans in Lebanon. Feltman himself became a character in the never-ending Lebanese political drama, his name becoming short-hand for the US's heavy-handed involvement there under Bush. Even the leader of Syria-backed Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah referred to the March 14 government as "Feltman's Government" after Israel's 2006 invasion of Lebanon. Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem was blunter, saying that "Feltman should leave [Lebanon]; I'm prepared to pay for his vacation to Hawaii." As Mike mentions below, the Syrians were believed to be behind several attempts to assassinate him. Suffice it say, having Feltman representing the U.S. at the negotiating table might make things a bit tense.
But perhaps this is precisely the message that the new administration wants to send to Assad: We're open to dialogue, but we will not compromise on the question of Lebanese sovereignty. As one former Pentagon Lebanon specialist told me today, "I cannot think of a better guy to represent commitment to Lebanon and skepticism toward Syria, which is exactly where our policy should be. For negotiations to work, they have to know that we have serious concerns."
Alternately, as another Syria analyst suggested to me on the phone yesterday, it's very possible that Feltman has adjusted his views; developments in the year since he has left Lebanon--particularly the March 14 government's inability to maintain stability in the country--has definitely flipped some of its biggest supporters. Additionally, Feltman's new position at the State department means that he no longer has to be as narrowly focused on Lebanon.
His dispatching to Damascus this week is clearly not a one-off assignment; his meeting with Syrian ambassador to Washington Imad Mustafa last week indicates that he will be a key administration player on Syria. It will be interesting to see whether his complicated history in the region will be an asset or a hindrance to the administration's goals.

A variety of methods can increase the prominence of a webpage within the search results. Cross linking between pages of the same website to provide more links to important pages may improve its visibility.[48] Writing content that includes frequently searched keyword phrase, so as to be relevant to a wide variety of search queries will tend to increase traffic.[48] Updating content so as to keep search engines crawling back frequently can give additional weight to a site. Adding relevant keywords to a web page's metadata, including the title tag and meta description, will tend to improve the relevancy of a site's search listings, thus increasing traffic. URL canonicalization of web pages accessible via multiple URLs, using the canonical link element[49] or via 301 redirects can help make sure links to different versions of the URL all count towards the page's link popularity score.
Google recommends that all websites use https:// when possible. The hostname is where your website is hosted, commonly using the same domain name that you'd use for email. Google differentiates between the "www" and "non-www" version (for example, "www.example.com" or just "example.com"). When adding your website to Search Console, we recommend adding both http:// and https:// versions, as well as the "www" and "non-www" versions.
Another excellent guide is Google's "Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide." This is a free PDF download that covers basic tips that Google provides to its own employees on how to get listed. You'll find it here. Also well worth checking out is Moz's "Beginner's Guide To SEO," which you'll find here, and the SEO Success Pyramid from Small Business Search Marketing.
Planned content begins with the creative/marketing team generating their ideas, once they have completed their ideas they send them off for approval. There is two general ways of doing so. The first is where each sector approves the plan one after another, editor, brand, followed by the legal team (Brito, 2013). Sectors may differ depending on the size and philosophy of the business. The second is where each sector is given 24 hours (or such designated time) to sign off or disapprove. If no action is given within the 24-hour period the original plan is implemented. Planned content is often noticeable to customers and is un-original or lacks excitement but is also a safer option to avoid unnecessary backlash from the public.[87] Both routes for planned content are time consuming as in the above; the first way to approval takes 72 hours to be approved. Although the second route can be significantly shorter it also holds more risk particularly in the legal department.
In March 2006, KinderStart filed a lawsuit against Google over search engine rankings. KinderStart's website was removed from Google's index prior to the lawsuit, and the amount of traffic to the site dropped by 70%. On March 16, 2007, the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (San Jose Division) dismissed KinderStart's complaint without leave to amend, and partially granted Google's motion for Rule 11 sanctions against KinderStart's attorney, requiring him to pay part of Google's legal expenses.[70][71]
Social media marketing is a powerful way for businesses of all sizes to reach prospects and customers. Your customers are already interacting with brands through social media, and if you're not speaking directly to your audience through social platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, you're missing out! Great marketing on social media can bring remarkable success to your business, creating devoted brand advocates and even driving leads and sales.
On Google+ you can upload and share photos, videos, links, and view all your +1s. Also take advantage of Google+ circles, which allow you to segment your followers into smaller groups, enabling you to share information with some followers while barring others. For example, you might try creating a "super-fan" circle, and share special discounts and exclusive offers only with that group.
Think about the words that a user might search for to find a piece of your content. Users who know a lot about the topic might use different keywords in their search queries than someone who is new to the topic. For example, a long-time football fan might search for [fifa], an acronym for the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, while a new fan might use a more general query like [football playoffs]. Anticipating these differences in search behavior and accounting for them while writing your content (using a good mix of keyword phrases) could produce positive results. Google Ads provides a handy Keyword Planner34 that helps you discover new keyword variations and see the approximate search volume for each keyword. Also, Google Search Console provides you with the top search queries your site appears for and the ones that led the most users to your site in the Performance Report35.
Sharing Curated Links — While using social media for marketing is a great way to leverage your own unique, original content to gain followers, fans, and devotees, it's also an opportunity to link to outside articles as well. If other sources provide great, valuable information you think your target audience will enjoy, don't be shy about linking to them. Curating and linking to outside sources improves trust and reliability, and you may even get some links in return.
Search engines may penalize sites they discover using black hat methods, either by reducing their rankings or eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. Such penalties can be applied either automatically by the search engines' algorithms, or by a manual site review. One example was the February 2006 Google removal of both BMW Germany and Ricoh Germany for use of deceptive practices.[54] Both companies, however, quickly apologized, fixed the offending pages, and were restored to Google's search engine results page.[55]
LinkedIn, a professional business-related networking site, allows companies to create professional profiles for themselves as well as their business to network and meet others.[41] Through the use of widgets, members can promote their various social networking activities, such as Twitter stream or blog entries of their product pages, onto their LinkedIn profile page.[42] LinkedIn provides its members the opportunity to generate sales leads and business partners.[43] Members can use "Company Pages" similar to Facebook pages to create an area that will allow business owners to promote their products or services and be able to interact with their customers.[44] Due to spread of spam mail sent to job seeker, leading companies prefer to use LinkedIn for employee's recruitment instead using different a job portal. Additionally, companies have voiced a preference for the amount of information that can be gleaned from a LinkedIn profile, versus a limited email.[45]
Measuring Success with Analytics — You can't determine the success of your social media marketing strategies without tracking data. Google Analytics can be used as a great social media marketing tool that will help you measure your most triumphant social media marketing techniques, as well as determine which strategies are better off abandoned. Attach tracking tags to your social media marketing campaigns so that you can properly monitor them. And be sure to use the analytics within each social platform for even more insight into which of your social content is performing best with your audience.
SEO is not an appropriate strategy for every website, and other Internet marketing strategies can be more effective, such as paid advertising through pay per click (PPC) campaigns, depending on the site operator's goals. Search engine marketing (SEM) is the practice of designing, running and optimizing search engine ad campaigns.[56] Its difference from SEO is most simply depicted as the difference between paid and unpaid priority ranking in search results. Its purpose regards prominence more so than relevance; website developers should regard SEM with the utmost importance with consideration to visibility as most navigate to the primary listings of their search.[57] A successful Internet marketing campaign may also depend upon building high quality web pages to engage and persuade, setting up analytics programs to enable site owners to measure results, and improving a site's conversion rate.[58] In November 2015, Google released a full 160 page version of its Search Quality Rating Guidelines to the public,[59] which revealed a shift in their focus towards "usefulness" and mobile search. In recent years the mobile market has exploded, overtaking the use of desktops, as shown in by StatCounter in October 2016 where they analyzed 2.5 million websites and found that 51.3% of the pages were loaded by a mobile device [60]. Google has been one of the companies that are utilizing the popularity of mobile usage by encouraging websites to use their Google Search Console, the Mobile-Friendly Test, which allows companies to measure up their website to the search engine results and how user-friendly it is.
Expertise and authoritativeness of a site increases its quality. Be sure that content on your site is created or edited by people with expertise in the topic. For example, providing expert or experienced sources can help users understand articles' expertise. Representing well-established consensus in pages on scientific topics is a good practice if such consensus exists.
Creating the link between SEO and PPC represents an integral part of the SEM concept. Sometimes, especially when separate teams work on SEO and PPC and the efforts are not synced, positive results of aligning their strategies can be lost. The aim of both SEO and PPC is maximizing the visibility in search and thus, their actions to achieve it should be centrally coordinated. Both teams can benefit from setting shared goals and combined metrics, evaluating data together to determine future strategy or discuss which of the tools works better to get the traffic for selected keywords in the national and local search results. Thanks to this, the search visibility can be increased along with optimizing both conversions and costs.[21]
The leading search engines, such as Google, Bing and Yahoo!, use crawlers to find pages for their algorithmic search results. Pages that are linked from other search engine indexed pages do not need to be submitted because they are found automatically. The Yahoo! Directory and DMOZ, two major directories which closed in 2014 and 2017 respectively, both required manual submission and human editorial review.[40] Google offers Google Search Console, for which an XML Sitemap feed can be created and submitted for free to ensure that all pages are found, especially pages that are not discoverable by automatically following links[41] in addition to their URL submission console.[42] Yahoo! formerly operated a paid submission service that guaranteed crawling for a cost per click;[43] however, this practice was discontinued in 2009.
You may not want certain pages of your site crawled because they might not be useful to users if found in a search engine's search results. If you do want to prevent search engines from crawling your pages, Google Search Console has a friendly robots.txt generator to help you create this file. Note that if your site uses subdomains and you wish to have certain pages not crawled on a particular subdomain, you'll have to create a separate robots.txt file for that subdomain. For more information on robots.txt, we suggest this Webmaster Help Center guide on using robots.txt files13.
Let's say, for example, that you run a construction business that helps with home repairs after natural disasters and you want to advertise that service. The official term for the service is "fire restoration," but keyword research may indicate that customers in your area search instead for "fire repair" or "repair fire damage to house." By not optimizing for these two keywords, you'll lose out on a lot of traffic and potential customers, even if "fire restoration" is technically more correct.
Provide full functionality on all devices. Mobile users expect the same functionality - such as commenting and check-out - and content on mobile as well as on all other devices that your website supports. In addition to textual content, make sure that all important images and videos are embedded and accessible on mobile devices. For search engines, provide all structured data and other metadata - such as titles, descriptions, link-elements, and other meta-tags - on all versions of the pages.
Having a different description meta tag for each page helps both users and Google, especially in searches where users may bring up multiple pages on your domain (for example, searches using the site: operator). If your site has thousands or even millions of pages, hand-crafting description meta tags probably isn't feasible. In this case, you could automatically generate description meta tags based on each page's content.
In some contexts, the term SEM is used exclusively to mean pay per click advertising,[2] particularly in the commercial advertising and marketing communities which have a vested interest in this narrow definition. Such usage excludes the wider search marketing community that is engaged in other forms of SEM such as search engine optimization and search retargeting.
Popular social media such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social networks can provide marketers with a hard number of how large their audience is nevertheless a large audience may not always translate into a large sales volumes. Therefore, an effective SMM cannot be measured by a large audience but rather by vigorous audience activity such as social shares, re-tweets etc.
While most of the links to your site will be added gradually, as people discover your content through search or other ways and link to it, Google understands that you'd like to let others know about the hard work you've put into your content. Effectively promoting your new content will lead to faster discovery by those who are interested in the same subject. As with most points covered in this document, taking these recommendations to an extreme could actually harm the reputation of your site.
An SEO technique is considered white hat if it conforms to the search engines' guidelines and involves no deception. As the search engine guidelines[18][19][52] are not written as a series of rules or commandments, this is an important distinction to note. White hat SEO is not just about following guidelines but is about ensuring that the content a search engine indexes and subsequently ranks is the same content a user will see. White hat advice is generally summed up as creating content for users, not for search engines, and then making that content easily accessible to the online "spider" algorithms, rather than attempting to trick the algorithm from its intended purpose. White hat SEO is in many ways similar to web development that promotes accessibility,[53] although the two are not identical.

The Finnish Meteorological Institute FMI has reported that most parts of Finland were 2 to 5 degrees colder than average during the month of March. The highest deviations were recorded in Eastern Finland and Northern Lapland.
Statistics show that the last time March reached such frosty temperatures was five years ago in 2013.
The highest temperature in March was registered in the Åland Islands on 25 March where locals enjoyed 8.6-degree weather. Meanwhile, the coldest reading was recorded on 7 March among the rolling fells of Lapland in Kevojärvi, where the temperature reached a biting -35.7 degrees.
Rainfall in March was measured at 20mm in southwest Finland and Lapland, and 50mm in North Karelia. In Lapland and southwest Finland rainfall was half of what could normally be expected for the traditionally sprig-like month of March.
Snowfall was also exceptionally abundant. Toward the end of March, the southwestern coast remained under 10cm of snow, meanwhile areas in the North Karelia and Kainuu region were covered by a heavy blanket of snow that measured over a metre deep.
According to FMI, the area of central Finland, from the westerly province of Ostrobothnia to North Karelia on the eastern border, enjoyed a rare 30cm more snowfall than the March average.
And sunshine during the days of March was more frequent than usual, reaching 194 hours in the archipelago island of Utö, almost 60 hours above the average.


Let's face it, this BoP movement has picked up speed since the early days of The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid. We're getting to a point where we can really glimpse a world, a development space, where the term BoP has arrived in the mainstream, in the media and in business plans of entrepreneurs.
A sure tell tale sign is when consultancies like Triple Value emerge that explicitly use the language of the BoP and advise major corporations on tapping into this market.So as this mainstreaming occurs, it's valuable to draw lessons from similar experiences early on in the environmental movement within the private sector. Greenwashing, the act of promoting a company image of sustainability without creating real change in daily activities and operations, is now a commonplace idea. As the term BoP infiltrates boardrooms and ad agencies, could we also see a trend of "BoPwashing"?
To preemptively answer critics that might worry about the prospect of BoP business models flourishing that are all PR and no social impact, a few initiatives have sprung up that seek to verifiably measure how much a given business or project actually benefits the BoP.
One notable leader in this area is Ted London of the William Davidson Institute. Others without an explicit BoP focus have devised some pretty sophisticated methods for evaluating broader social impacts of a company – here, the enterprise development group, SEAF, especially comes to mind. I'm still not quite sure how they come to the conclusion that each dollar invested in their enterprises generates $12 in their local economies, but it's a fascinating read.
With a similar intent, New Ventures undertook a project in 2006 that is just wrapping up now – an attempt to identify the social and environmental benefits of a sampling of our portfolio companies. This ended up being a long and difficult but rewarding process. It has given us and our entrepreneurs written proof they can pull out when the necessary differentiation is made between those companies that understand the market opportunities afforded by mitigating environmental and social risk, and those that are just green- or BoPwashing.
Stay tuned for a full report on the trials, tribulations, and crucial importance of sustainability reporting from the New Ventures team this summer….


Lots of things are happening at Squarespace lately! While I am still eagerly awaiting the release of version 8 (don't know when and if that will happen) they are implementing a lot of improvements and fixes to the current version.
As a Squarespace Circle member I often get news before it's made public and we also get product and feature updates. It's an amazing community that is forming here and I am so happy to be a part of it. And I thought it would be nice to also share the most relevant news with my readers on a more regular basis.
1. PayPal has come to Squarespace. Finally!
This one has been on the wishlist for a long time and I am so THRILLED that we can finally accept payments through PayPal as well as Stripe! Customers basically have two options now: use Stripe for credit card payments or pay via their own PayPal accounts. This is still in Beta so just be mindful of that. I tested it on my own site and it worked great! Click here for more details.


Whenever a player wins a coin flip, double Okaun's power and toughness until end of turn.
Okay, you don't have to be best friends to work together well, but whatever.
Clearly, this deck needs a lot of coin flipping. At least as clearly, this isn't going to be a competitive deck. The thing is, with the Zndr… whatever… any flips are going to be good, so we can play subpar ones as well.
Not very many. The problem is that in general I want to be able to repeatably flip the coin. It just seems to be very hard to do that. Also, there's many we have no interest in playing in this deck. Take Boompile. Definitely a powerful card, but the problem is that winning those tosses has limited value if the creatures are going to die. Same problem with Puppet's Verdict. One member of the partnership will just die.
So, what would I want to play in these colors? I want to be able to dig to my Thumb, since it's quite good in the deck. So, let's start with that.
Due to the limited number of these spells in our deck, we might want some of them back.
I don't think GDD will be very good here, but I do like it, so it's in the deck.
Since we have so many things that deal with instants and sorceries in so many ways, I guess we have to put some of them into the deck as well.
Since we now have too many cards, so we can't really play everything, I'm cutting a few creatures. Although there's a possible loop here with our bounce spells, I'll cut Menomonic Wall and I have a feeling Dominus of Fealty will never do anything, so I'll cut that one too. Finally, I'll take out Arjun, the Shifting Flame, because any sort of plan with that thing becomes impossible. It would fit the flavor of the deck, but I do like to actually play a game as well.
This does only leave room for 42 lands, which is lower than I would like to go, but we do have some cantrips, so I guess it'll have to do. Actually 40 lands, Wayfarer's Bauble and Armillary Sphere.

The Merchant Adventurers hall was built in 1357-61 for the Mystery of Mercers, a guild of merchants from the city. They became involved in shipping woolen and cloth goods from England and returning with cargoes from the destination ports. This trade was primarily with northern Europe, the Baltic countries and Iceland.
The name Merchant Adventurers comes from a charter granted to the guild in 1581.
Today the hall is used for weddings and conferences.


INDIA has been a steady U.S. strategic and economic partner for at least the past decade. It helps maintain political balance in the region, while reforms implemented to boost economic growth hold the promise of lifting millions out of poverty. Flying well below the radar of most mainstream media, however, is an ugly side of India's success story. Its focus, and ours, on economic reform and innovation is masking the increasingly flagrant and violent harassment — in many cases, clear persecution — of India's Christian and Muslim minorities.

The Center for Healthcare Information Analysis (CHIA) is an independent agency that serves as the commonwealth's primary hub for healthcare data and a key source of healthcare analytics that support state healthcare policy development. MHA works collaboratively with CHIA and other agencies to improve efficiency in the collection, dissemination and use of healthcare data and to promote administrative simplification.
CHIA's latest report, released last week, provides information on acute and non-acute hospitals based on hospital characteristics, services, payer mix, utilization trends, cost trends, and financial performance over a five-year period.
On Friday CHIA will post on the CompareCare website a spreadsheet containing the data it used to populate its procedure pricing tool.

In the first story, March Violets—a derisive term for latecomers to the Nazi bandwagon—a search for stolen diamonds takes center stage. It is 1936. The Nazis are busy hiding evidence of their atrocities for the imminent Berlin Olympics. Extortion, murder and mayhem follow the theft, and Bernie's investigation leads him to a stay in Dachau.
The Pale Criminal jumps ahead to 1938. Bernie's tone becomes less flippant when a Gestapo honcho blackmails him into rejoining the police force to hunt for a killer targeting teenage Aryan girls. Searching Berlin's seamy side, he discovers the underworld now inhabits the upper echelons of the Third Reich. His detective work cannot, in the end, prevent the infamous Kristallnacht from ripping apart his city.
A German Requiem takes place in 1947, with Berlin resembling "a colossal Acropolis of fallen masonry and ruined edifice, a vast and unequivocal megalith to the waste of war and the power of 75,000 tonnes of high explosives." More a spy tale than a detective story, its tenor is the blackest yet and leads Bernie out of nightmarish Berlin and into Vienna, working (under duress) for the Soviets, yet still uncovering the lingering rot of Nazi evils.
Berlin Noir delivers a rare and gritty microscopic image of WWII Berlin and the corruption and annihilation that afflicted its citizenry. The collection is ingenious, unspeakably sad, and memorable.
This is Berlin by William L. Shirer (1999), transcripts of Shirer's daily news reports for CBS Radio from pre-war Berlin from 1938-1940.
The Forger: An Extraordinary Story of Survival in Wartime Berlin by Cioma Schönhaus (2008), about a Jewish graphic artist in wartime Berlin who eluded the Nazis and forged IDs for Jews, saving hundreds of lives.

September 07 - In the last couple of months I've gone a little mod-crazy. I've removed the Turbo XS BOV (this car wasn't meant for an atomspheric BOV, I bought a used stock BPV to replace it and am very happy with the change), added an Injen intake, Kartboy short shifter, buttloads of Kartboy, TiC, and Whiteline bushings, STi V-Limited front lip, Cobb Accessport, Innovate LC-1 wideband o2 sensor kit, and moved the Innovate XD-16 AFR gauge and the Autometer boost gauge to the A-pillar.
October 07 - Just replaced the brake pads with Hawk HP+, these things are ridiculous! A couple of pics from the install (yes I know my garage has a hole in it).
February 08 - Some new gauges, MadDad Ultra boost, oil pressure, oil temperature, and a MadDad v2 Ti EGT for the a-pillar to replace the old boost gauge.
June-November 2009 - Engine Build!
Before you get the wrong idea, no the stock motor did not blow, I just decided to build it before it did. The stock engine was still running great when I pulled it out.
Not much to say here. The car is now running on E85, new engine is holding together nicely. I'm currently building up the fuel system so I can actually take advantage of this turbo on E85 (currently saturating the 850cc injectors at ~14 psi).
The fuel system is done and running well. I'm in the process of re-tuning the car for the new injectors, and it's going smoothly.

Protestor Spray-Paints Penises Around Potholes To Finally Get Them Repaired
by Dan Edmund Oct 19, 2021, 9:27 pm
Local residents in Teesdale are loving a protestor who was finally able to figure out a way to get two potholes fixed by the city. After a year of not being addresses and fixed, one person decided a better way to get their attention – to draw big penises around them.
And it worked!
Teeside Connected
The pictures appeared on a Facebook account called Teesside Connected, with a red penis shape and one black one seen surrounding two potholes.
The page later shared a photo from a resident called Brad Nicholson, who had written: "The power of the Willy. Repaired this morning 25-04-2019. Only been there a year, well done Middlesbrough Council.
And local residents loved the idea with some saying, "there's gonna be a penis on every pothole from now on."
Another resident said, "Where there's a willy, there's a way."
A spokesman for Middlesbrough Council said: "Middlesbrough, like all local authority areas in the country, has issues with potholes and repairs are carried out on a priority basis determined by the risk they pose to highway users.
"Currently, however, we are carrying out pre-planned works in the Acklam area and staff were able to visit the nearby site on Fane Grove when the matter was reported to us and have patched over the hole."
This isn't the first time it's happened. There's a street artist that goes by Wanksy who's made it his life mission to draw penises around potholes to get the attention of the city to get them fixed.
Wanksy explains that potholes are dangerous. Not only do they wreck vehicles, cause accidents they also injure cyclists and are a danger to pedestrians.
He goes on to explain, "I highlight dangerous potholes by turning them into temporary works of art, making them more visible and prompting the council to repair them."
"The council is not too happy, but all my work is created using non-permanent, chalk based line marker, the same type the council use when doing repairs. The problem is that despite each and every vehicle owner in the land paying road tax, fuel tax and council tax, that money does not seem to be being spent on our roads, or at least not effectively."
Either way, his art is fixing a serious problem. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments below.
