A Near Mint December 1958 Stratocaster
This near mint, December 1958 Stratocaster weighs just 7.70 lbs. Solid alder body, contoured on back and lower bass bout, and finished in three-tone Sunburst. One-piece fretted maple neck with a nut width of just over 1 5/8 inches, a scale length of 25 1/2 inches, and a very fast thin-to-medium profile. Maple fretboard with 21 original medium frets and black dot position markers. Small headstock with decal with Fender "spaghetti" logo in gold with black trim, "STRATOCASTER" in black beside it, "WITH SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO" in black below it, and small decal with "ORIGINAL Contour Body" at the ball end of the headstock. Individual single-line Kluson Deluxe tuners with oval metal buttons (stamped inside: "D-169400/Patent No"). Single butterfly string tree. Four-bolt neck plate with serial number "34211" between the top two screws. Three white plastic-covered black-bottom single-coil pickups with staggered polepieces and nice, balanced outputs of 5.35k, 5.85k, and 5.87k. Single-layer white plastic pickguard with eight screws. Three controls (one volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch, all on pickguard. White plastic knobs with gold lettering. Fender "Synchronized Tremolo" combined bridge/tailpiece (six-pivot bridge/vibrato unit with through-body stringing). The neck has a pencil mark of "12-58," the neck pickup cavity has the name "Carrie" in pencil, and the middle pickup cavity has a pencil mark of "12/58." The potentiometers are all stamped "304 839" (Stackpole September 1958). This guitar is in near mint (9.25) condition with just a few very small and insignificant surface marks/dings mainly on the sides of the body. The original frets show some playing wear but have plenty of life left. The fretboard shpws very minor playing wear on the first three frets only. Otherwise, this sixty-year-old guitar is one of the best looking and playing "Fifties" Strats that we have ever owned. Complete with the original tremolo arm and bridge cover, original Fender hang-tag with matching serial number, original black leather guitar strap, an original set of Fender Mastersound Super-Smooth strings and two original 1957/58 Fender Fine Electric Instruments catalogs. Housed in its original Fender "Tweed" case with brown leather ends and orange plush lining (9.00). We have substituted the original rubber pickup washers for a set of later springs - this improves the pickups the height-adjustment - the original rubber washers are included in the case. We have also set the guitar up with three out of the five tremolo springs - the remaining two springs are also included in the case.
"The Stratocaster was launched during 1954 [and was priced at $249.50, or $229.50 without vibrato]...The new Fender guitar was the first solidbody electric with three pickups [Gibson's electric-acoustic ES-5, introduced five years earlier, had been the overall first], meaning a range of fresh tones, and featured a new-design vibrato unit that provided pitch-bending and shimmering chordal effects. The new vibrato -- erroneously called a 'tremolo' by Fender and many others since -- was troublesome in development. But the result was the first self-contained vibrato unit: an adjustable bridge, a tailpiece, and a vibrato system, all in one. It wasn't a simple mechanism for the time, but a reasonably effective one...Fender's new vibrato had six bridge-pieces, one for each string, adjustable for height and length, which meant that the feel of the strings could be personalized and the guitar made more in tune with itself...The Strat came with a radically sleek, solid body, based on the outline of the 1951 Fender Precision Bass. Some musicians had complained to Fender that the sharp edge of the Telecaster's body was uncomfortable...so the Strat's body was contoured for the player's comfort. Also, it was finished in a yellow-to-black sunburst finish. Even the jack socket mounting was new, recessed in a stylish plate on the body face...the Fender Stratocaster looked like no other guitar around especially the flowing, sensual curves of that beautifully proportioned, timeless body. The Stratocaster's new-style pickguard complemented the lines perfectly, and the overall impression was of a guitar where all the components ideally suited one another. The Fender Stratocaster has since become the most popular, the most copied, the most desired, and very probably the most played solid electric guitar ever" (Tony Bacon, 50 Years of Fender, p. 18).

Miner Sees Silver Price Surging Ninefold as Global Gadgets Boom
by Natalie Obiko Pearson
A major Japanese electronics maker approached First Majestic Silver Corp. for the first time last month seeking to lock in future stock, a sign of supply concerns that could boost the metal's price ninefold, according to the best-performing producer of the metal.
"For an electronics manufacturer to come directly to us — that tells me something is changing in the market," said Keith Neumeyer, chief executive officer of First Majestic, the top stock in Canada and among its global peers this year. "I think we'll see three-digit silver," he said, predicting the metal could surge to $140 an ounce by as early as 2019.

Venturi, who died this week, admired structures with ambiguities and overloud statements.
In 2001, when I was a freshman at Columbia, a close friend, a student of architecture who is now a professor of geography, took to trawling nasty comment threads online. He was an admirer of the neoclassicism of the Chicago World's Fair, and he detested anyone—especially postmodernists—who treated its verities with irony or contempt. As I remember, and as he recalled to me recently, he found his way to a Web site called Architecture Hate Page, where he posted some disparaging remarks about the work of the renowned architects Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. Some months later, he received an e-mail from Venturi, asking him to coffee. At a Starbucks near campus, he met both Venturi and Scott Brown. In his recollection, Venturi scowled at him for his misunderstanding, while Scott Brown seemed apologetic on both men's behalf.
I thought of this story when Venturi died, on Tuesday, at the age of ninety-three. It shows not only that the Internet was always a venue for the idiocy of young men but that Venturi, one of the major architects of the twentieth century, was a teacher as much as he was a thinker. With him dies half of an extraordinary partnership, and, to some degree, an era of real seriousness about the aesthetics and ethics of architecture. It is hard to imagine architects of his and Scott Brown's stature responding, today, to a random student's pique, let alone engaging with him in debate. For both, architecture was a combat sport, but one that required wit and grace, as well as accommodation for the unusual, extrinsic, and incongruent.
This could come at a cost. In their books, the couple argued, in mandarin prose, for an aesthetic populism, which often led to misunderstanding. Their most famous text, "Learning from Las Vegas"—even the title was a troll—seemed to endorse letting the market decide what got built, and how: a sort of architectural neoliberalism. But its much quoted aphorisms ("Main Street is almost all right") distracted from how their buildings actually worked. In truth, many of them were built for universities and, in keeping with that context, have a coded elegance that derives from Venturi's studies of late Renaissance and Baroque Rome, when he was in residence at the American Academy.
inclusive rather than exclusive. It can relate contrasting and otherwise irreconcilable elements; it can contain opposites within a whole; it can accommodate the valid non sequitur; and it can allow a multiplicity of levels of meaning, since it involves changing contexts—seeing familiar things in an unfamiliar way and from unexpected points of view.
It can accommodate the valid non sequitur: so much of Venturi and Scott Brown is contained in this statement. When I first moved to Philadelphia, where the couple taught since the nineteen-sixties, and where their work is well represented, I made a pilgrimage to the Guild House, a housing development for low-income seniors on a bleak stretch of Spring Garden Street. For anyone expecting a brash, postmodernist statement, the first impression of its symmetrical, unassuming brick façade is underwhelming. But sustained attention—something their buildings always require—begins to disclose its essential weirdness. The cartoon lettering of "GUILD HOUSE", the squat, thick column of polished granite that bisects the recessed entrance, the chain-link fencing on the balconies, the elongated lunette window beneath the flat roof: these are the details that create drama and surprise in otherwise "normal" contexts. The windows, Venturi and Scott Brown would write in "Learning from Las Vegas," "look like, as well as are, windows." The statement is marvellous, a valid non sequitur. Of course the windows are windows. But they also recall "windows"—they estrange you, if only slightly, from what windows often are.
With Venturi dies half of the extraordinary partnership he shared with his collaborator and wife, Denise Scott Brown.
This sort of thing was naturally infuriating to many people, as were the paeans, in "Learning from Las Vegas," to the detritus of American kitsch landscapes—billboards, signs, neons. The book cemented Venturi's image as a postmodernist, even if it was an association he rejected. "I would like to make it plain that I consider myself an architect who adheres to the Classical tradition of Western architecture," he once wrote, in a manner that seemed to protest too much. But it was true. In buildings such as the extension of the Allen Memorial Art Museum, at Oberlin, Venturi and Scott Brown produced a façade of checkered sandstone that, as the Times critic Ada Louise Huxtable pointed out at the time, recalled the rose-cream stone of the original Beaux Arts building, while also suggesting a nineteen-thirties industrial loft. There is much to "read" in the details—the roof overhang that is both Renaissance and Midwestern—but those details rarely clamor for attention.
As with all architects, Venturi and Scott Brown produced some junk, and, unfortunately, junk one has to live with. Welcome Park, built in 1982, outside one of Philadelphia's few art-house theatres, is a strangely conceived space that flaunts scale and proportion until the joke falls flat. At its center, perched on a thick marble cylinder, is a comically undersized bronze of William Penn, the city's founder, who presides over an almost invariably empty plaza. Not far away is a tiny model of the Slate Roof House, the city's first house of government. The whole experience, which you have to repeat every time you see a film there, is ridiculous in a way that punctures the solemnity of Philadelphia's heritage—but it also denudes the city of a usable public space. It was one of the moments in which Venturi and Scott Brown, to their detriment, seemed to believe their own myth.
Still, some of Venturi's most enduring work won't be what he built but what he saved. His attention to the past meant that he was an ardent preservationist, and he often supported work that might otherwise have fallen to the wrecking ball of urban renewal. The Fisher Fine Arts Library, at the University of Pennsylvania, designed by the wild Gilded Age architect Frank Furness, is one of the most extraordinary buildings in North America, and we owe it to Venturi and Scott Brown that it has survived in its particular shape. A Victorian castle crammed with gargoyles, terra-cotta arches, and fine glass windows graced with aphorisms—a classic of super-adjacencies—it was, in the nineteen-sixties, on the verge of being torn down. Venturi, who adored the library's "diversity, wit, tragic dimension," helped conduct a restoration, which both opened up the building and clarified the strange side-traditions that his work carries forward.
The Fisher Library was also how Venturi met Scott Brown. In 1960, during a meeting about the fate of the building, she emerged as one of the fiercest voices for its preservation. After the meeting, she said, "another teacher introduced himself and told me: 'I agreed with everything you said. My name's Robert Venturi.' And I replied, 'If you agreed with me, why didn't you say anything?' " The exchange began one of the most influential design partnerships of the last century—and, as with a similar partnership, that of Ray and Charles Eames, the woman's contributions have been sidelined. In 1991, Venturi alone was awarded the Pritzker Prize for architecture, which shocked him; only in 2013 did campaigners try—unsuccessfully—to add Scott Brown to the citation. Meanwhile, a recent pair of exhibits in London displayed Scott Brown's exceptional photography, showing just how much her understanding of vernacular landscapes contributed to their work. If there is a way to remember Venturi, it is by honoring his partner, who remains impoverished of attention. The knots tying her ideas to his are impossible to untangle, and to ignore.

New Obsession Of The Month: NCIS
So! This show's politics are kind of disgusting, but for some reason, I have been seduced anyway, and it can probably be summed up as: TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAM.
It's hard to find a show that can properly handle an ensemble (NCIS:LA, for example, is still struggling to figure out its dynamic, despite Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J's awesome chemistry), and NCIS somehow manages to make all of it's characters and interactions adorable even when they're dealing with dead bodies and like, supreme breaches of privacy and due process.
Anyway! I don't get fandom's woobification of Tony, and I kind of have an unreasonable crush on McGee because I have a weakness for dorky computer nerds and Ziva makes awesome puns that are hard to translate into Chinese on sketchy streaming sites. Oh, and Ducky used to go by the name "Illya Kuryakin" before he started wearing bow ties, and sometimes, he still gets mail from one "Albert Stroller" in London. When Jimmy asks who that is, Ducky just laughs and says that he's an old colleague with whom he has a regular correspondence. Then he tells a very well-edited version of "The Juniper Bush Affair" until Jimmy stops paying attention to him.
Plus! Abby! Who is so awesome that all of fandom loves her, despite having been in an canonical relationship with McGee, who is one of the show's Designated White Guys and therefore in one of the major slash ships (such as they are) in this fandom. She is just so cheerful and perky and Goth-nerd and usually high on some form of caffeine! Her relationship with Gibbs is adorable.
Basically, the show's team interaction reminds me of a basketful of puppies rolling around and biting each other's ears until Gibbs comes in and makes them all behave because he's totally the Daddy of this ragtag bunch of misfits. And then Gibbs will drink some coffee and then possibly shoot someone with the ridiculously good aim he's acquired from being a Marine sniper.
It is possible that my time here has warped my mind a bit. Whoops.

I made a Rayman timeline!
Now that's a neat timeline, I actually thought of making something like that some days ago heh, the only thing I'm not sure about is the placement of the GBA version of Rayman 3, my theory is that it takes place in the Rayman 3 middle timeline since in Rayman 2 razorbeard flees and in the gba game I guess he dies since after the final boss there's no trace of him. Also when you reach the heart of the world the teensies say "Just as I thought, André isn't dead" which means that he already attacked the glade before and might explain the hoodlum hideout.
But that's just my theory.
The "Just as I thought" line doesn't mean that I don't think, it's just that the other Teensies thought he died when Globox swallowed him.
Or some obscure promotional site no one friggin' heard of.
You need to add Rayman Adventures as it serves as a direct sequel to Legends.
Threads merged since a lot of people were discussing WIIgeek's timeline in Tunder's thread.
Eren wrote: Or some obscure promotional site no one friggin' heard of.
Ain't that the truth! But seriously though, the game was fairly light-hearted and self-contained, I don't think that's the sort of line we should be reading too much into.
Bradandez wrote: You need to add Rayman Adventures as it serves as a direct sequel to Legends.
Adventures was never confirmed as either a spin-off or sequel if memory serves. Though spin-off makes the most sense.
Re: I made a Rayman timeline!
Hahaha wow that timeline is hilarious And the best thing is that it makes sense too!
Too bad you didn't include the mobile titles like Rayman Garden, Bowling and Golf though, those would have made for some great joke material. And Jungle Run, Fiesta Run and Adventures I guess.
Wow, that's quite complicated! Well done! I think Rabbids Go Home was meant to be a sequel to TV Party though, wasn't it?
Wow, this thing got attention right under my nose! Sorry for the bump, just wanna say I'm glad those who saw this thing I made when I was half-asleep enjoyed it!
Very good timeline , but why did you not included origin and legends ?
You both have really good timelines, great job with them! It always intrigued me where each of the games go in relation to time and each other, since some were obvious where they belonged, while others were just confusing to place in the timeline..

I have to learn something new every day!
In my teaching, I always state that a classical Wenckebach sequence must have a pause.
When I looked up my definition of Wenckebach, I noted that I didn't include a pause in the definition, but rather a dropped beat only.
Here is the typical Wenckebach sequence with a pause.
Well today I was shown a typical Wenckebach sequence, which because of its timing had no pause!
I first thought this was complete heart block.

We have known Kaelyn has artistic talent since she was a toddler. She has blown us away through the years with her various creations using all types of materials.
The kids had the opportunity of having art class this spring, taught by a local architect and artist and they both love it!
They showcased their drawings and paintings tonight at the Art Fair.


Description The twenty-second photograph was a picture of a building. It says "THE BELL FACTORY Superintendent's Residence is on hill at right and rear of the factory buildings. It was last occupied by William Echols V. who was the last general manager. From Kodak picture 190".


When my husband and I were going through premarital counseling, our pastor shared guidelines on appropriate wedding day attire. It was easy enough for us to comply with. Since then, I've noticed that skin seems to be the #1 accessory for brides on their wedding day. Everyone always looks smashing, of course, but I'm longing for the day when we can move on from the standard bridal uniform of a strapless white gown.
Rev. David Moyer still remembers the gasp as the beautiful young bride came up the aisle.
"What was that about?" he wondered.
So Moyer, the conservative rector of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Rosemont, went ahead with the nuptials--quite unaware of how backless the bride's dress really was.
"It wasn't until I blessed them and they turned around that I looked down" and saw more of her backside than one usually sees, he recalled with a laugh.
Moyer said nothing at the time. But after years of watching wedding gowns grow skimpier and more revealing, he had had enough.
"I never thought I'd see the day," he said recently. "But I now tell couples in premarital counseling that their wedding clothes must be dignified and lovely."
The piece reminisces about what proper dress used to mean -- men in jackets, ties and shiny shoes and women in heels, dresses and hats. The reporter speaks with clergy who lament the change and those who think it's not a problem. The article has some great quotes and shows a nice breadth of reporting. It shows both cultural mores and theological implications of the way we dress.
Sitting on a couch in the tabernacle's modern vestibule, Campolo recalled the time a group of visiting teenagers from Canada showed up in T-shirts and jeans at the predominantly African-American Mount Carmel Baptist Church in West Philadelphia, where he worships.
"And the ushers said, 'Oh, we let poor people in. But you're not poor. We'll let you in when you come dressed with respect.' "
Rev. Joseph Ganiel, pastor of St. James parish in Ventnor, N.J., doesn't turn the underdressed away. But he has had it, he said, with tank tops and flip-flops and short shorts and naked navels.
The latter pastor actually posts a dress code in the parish bulletin. The story ends with the anecdote of a woman and her two teenage sons casually dressed at church, scoffing at the notion that God cares what they wear more than what's in their hearts. The various stories help show the difficult balancing act congregations have in promoting proper respect through attire while being welcoming of everyone.
Understanding the limited space the reporter had to work with, it might have been interesting to look a bit more at official or semi-official dress codes for certain religious groups. But it's just a really interesting topic with many perspectives.

Supercars drivers react to wet racing under lights
A historic first Supercars wet race under lights in Sydney has drawn a range of reactions from drivers.
Andrew van Leeuwen
Nov 7, 2021, 11:25 AM
Sydney Motorsport Park's multi-million dollar lighting system provided a unique spectacle tonight as the 26-car Supercars field did battle in wet conditions.
The much-anticipated wet night race didn't disappoint either, the action-packed affair providing a real test for drivers.
Among those to be caught out in the conditions were series leader Shane van Gisbergen, who went off at Turn 1 at an early restart, while a crash for Jake Kostecki late in the race led to a red flag.
With conditions worsening the race wasn't restarted, Jamie Whincup declared the winner.
Reactions to driving in wet conditions under lights were mixed post-race, with a pattern of those that were running at the front being more comfortable with the visibility.
Whincup said at the finish that as a driver he wanted the race to be restarted, but as a team owner, stopping it was, "the right thing to do".
Chaz Mostert, who went from the very back of the grid to first, said: "The visibility wasn't too bad, I reckon it's worse in the day time with the glare".
That was a view shared by fourth-placed finished Nick Percat, who agreed the visibility wasn't much different to day time races in the wet.
"It was actually pretty cool. Everyone at SMP has done an unbelievable job with he lights, so visibility was pretty good," said the Brad Jones Racing ace.
"For whatever reason it was quite good in our car. We've got tint and stuff on the windows. From a visibility point of view it was no different to the day time."
As for the decision to declare the race, Percat disagreed it was the right call.
"For me as a racer, I always say, 'let's go racing, brake earlier boys, drive to the conditions'," he added.
Bryce Fullwood, who finished back in 22nd after serving a drive-through for a false start, admitted the conditions in the pack were "sketchy" but still argued that the race should have been restarted.
"When you're in my position and you're faster than a heap of cars, let's go racing. When you're at the front and you're scared, let's stop," he said.
"Don't get me wrong, it was sketchy. That last lap before they called the Safety Car I came into Turn 1 and had a massive aquaplane. I thought I was way off in the sticks.
"But I'm here to go racing, it's what we're here to do. Let's put on a show."
Others in the field firmly agreed with the call to end the race early, including sixth-placed Will Brown.
"No, I did not," he said when asked if he wanted to go back out.
"I was a bit worried out there a few times, I could barely see going into Turn 1. I just looked for the end of the pitwall and turned in. It was bloody tough conditions."
Scott Pye added: "The stewards made the right call.
"The visibility... it's probably okay in the top five, but where I was it was, there was one point behind the Safety car I was trying to get to Turn 1 and all of a sudden 17 sets of tail lights appeared in front of me and I went straight off. The visibility was terrible."

Why Courtney and Tickford are a dream match
By Andrew van Leeuwen
James Courtney has been around the block in his motorsport career it's fair to say. After a single-seater career cut short, he's won everything there is to win in Supercars. Following a rocky ride recently in the Australian category, he's found a happy hunting ground with Tickford Racing.
How taming his temper shaped Supercars' slow-burn star
His decision to leave Brad Jones Racing was the biggest shock of the Australian Supercars silly season so far. But for Nick Percat, it comes as the culmination of a personal journey that has made him into one of the most rounded drivers in the series, now in search of a seat that can make him a champion
Why replacing Supercars' GOAT with a teenager is worth the risk for T8
On the face of it, picking an 18-year-old rookie to replace arguably the greatest Supercars driver of all time is a risky move. But as Jamie Whincup takes up a team principal role and hands his car to Broc Feeney, it's one that he is confident will be rewarded in the fullness of time - time which wasn't afforded to Whincup in his early days
How Randle went from fighting cancer to battling for Supercars contention

Roger Penske's whirlwind Australian Supercars sojourn is over. After six seasons, three drivers' titles, three teams' championships and a Bathurst 1000 crown, The Captain has sold his controlling stake in Dick Johnson Racing back to the squad and walked away from the category.
Can Whincup be Triple Eight's ruthless leader?
Supercars' most successful team of the past 15 years is set for a radical shakeup next year when Jamie Whincup retires from driving and takes over the reins at Triple Eight. But does he have what it takes to be the new Roland Dane?

I recently traveled to Jackson Hole, Wyoming where I spent time with the Iconic Wildlife Photographer David Yarrow. His work is currently on display at The WRJ Design Showroom, and will be featured there Feb. 20th thru March 4th.
I love people with passion, who are passionate about what they do and who they are. David has a great abundance of this and the photographs he takes are a direct reflection of this inner quality and strength.
David was born in Glasgow, Scotland….and extremely open, without airs, and fun!! It is quite appealing, the combination of artist and possessing the ability to address key environmental and geopolitical issues through his work…..of which involves a high degree of patience as waiting for the exact photographs in extreme conditions could take…..well, as long as it takes, and David is committed to this relationship.
The "Amazing View" Exhibition will feature 17 exquisitely large-scale framed photographs, set in a style I call serene mountain opulence, a signature style created by Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer, the visionaries and creators of WRJ Design.
The opening reception for the Exhibition was wonderfully attended and the highlight included some of Davids first ever images of Americas West. The photographs are saturated with detail and the crystal clear clarity makes one feel as if the animals will jump off the wall. A true sensory experience.
Guests were treated to the beautiful hard cover book that was just released by Rizzoli Publishing featuring his work from seven continents with images of some of Earths most endangered species.
David Yarrow discussing his slide presentation.
David is an exciting story teller as he gives purpose and meaning to the adventures and risks he takes to capture his photographs. Earlier in the day as the showroom was setting up, I enjoyed listening to the many details David shared, mostly humorous and great fun.
Much earlier in the day I suggested a sleigh ride to the National Elk Refuge, a sanctuary for one of the largest Elk Herd on Earth. It was lovely to see portions of the herd up close, and the weather was divine. Jackson Hole truly is beautiful and there is an immediate peace that lingers in the air.
The night before, David hosted a lovely dinner party in town celebrating the upcoming Exhibition and speaking about his journeys.
David Yarrow is a very talented photographer, there are many wildlife photographers in the World, but few, if any….that capture the emotion and soul of the animal. This is what sets him apart, putting him in his own league.
While I love all the photographs, I do have a favorite. It is called Red Crowned Cranes and was taken recently in Hokkaido, Japan. It is among the rarest cranes in the world and is a symbol of luck, longevity and fidelity. The birds are regal and walk with a majestic grace….so beautiful.
Additional photos of Guests, Fun, and Adventure….yes, the Million Dollar Cowboy Bar, is an Adventure!

Between entitlement and stigmatization: the lessons of HIV/AIDS for China's medical reform

China's health policies mandate equality and attempt to raise awareness about disease prevention. Medical equality is also at the heart of China's latest, widely discussed and debated health reform. Known as ' yiliao gaige ', or ' yigai ' for short, the reform intends to address not just rising levels of disease and the inequality arising from this, but also growing population discontent toward the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) governance strategies.

Louis Goodman Ferstadt (7 October 1900–August 1954) was an American muralist and comics artist.

Biography
Louis Goodman Ferstadt was born in Berestechko in the Russian Empire on 7 October 1900. His early childhood coincided with a pogrom and in 1910, his family emigrated to Chicago in the United States. Louis studied at Hull House, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago from 1918 to 1922 and worked as an artist for the Chicago Tribune for a time.

He was a member of the Art Students League of Chicago in 1923. Ferstadt later won a scholarship to the Art Students League of New York at the age of 23 and moved to New York City. He later studied at The Educational Alliance art school after his scholarship funds were depleted. In 1926–1927, Ferstadt did a comic strip called The Kids on Our Block in the New York Evening Graphic.

He painted murals at the RCA Building and the Eighth Street Subway station in New York City on the occasion of the 1939 World's Fair. He drew comics, including "Chuck", "Mr. Risk", and "The Bouncer". Ferstadt identified as a communist and regularly contributed comic strips for the Daily Worker newspaper.

Ferstadt died of a heart attack at a campsite in Phoenicia, New York, in August 1954. His collection of art lie in the New York Public Library, Whitney Museum of American Art, the Tel Aviv Museum and the Jewish museum of Birobidzhan.

2011: ARTIST DOES ROARING TRADE FROM (ALMOST PICTURE PREFECT COUPLE. Irish Independent 2011.
Smile: Niall's caricature of the royal couple, and Amy and Brian.
2011: ARTIST DOES ROARING TRADE FROM (ALMOST PICTURE PREFECT COUPLE. 'The Diary' - Irish Independent 2011.
There will be no escape from the royal wedding on April 29 (2011). But one Irish artist has turned the nuptials at Westminister Abbey into a money spinner. At £40 (eur45), Dunboyne artist Niall O'Loughlin is doing a roaring trade in royal caricatures. "I did them for a wedding fair then put them on my website. I was amazed when I started getting all these orders in from the UK, "Niall told The Diary. Even more amazing is, on closer inspection, when you notice Niall has cheekily sneaked Princess Di into the sparkler on Kat's wedding ring.
However one couple which will be getting a free copy of the work is Brian O'Driscoll and Amy Huberman, captured here previously by Niall, who have turned down an invitation to the royal wedding as Brian's Leinster team is playing in a Heineken Cup semi-final on the same weekend. Asked how his partner had taken the news, Brian joked: "Amy is okay about it. It's not as if she wasn't able to get out of bed this morning."
Niall O'Loughlin's work can be seen in the Balla Bán Gallery in the Westbury Mall, Clarendon Street, Dublin.

McLaren Formula One driver Fernando Alonso is on the road to a solid recovery in hospital following his test crash on Sunday.
According to a release by the Woking-based team, the 33-year-old Spaniard has been chatting to family, friends and staff at the hospital; however it is unknown at this stage whether he will participate in the final pre-season test which begins later this week.
Alonso crashed out in turn three prior to lunch on the final day at Circuit de Cataluña, just outside Barcelona and after some first aid at the scene was airlifted to hospital.
After a raft of precautionary scans, the double-World Champion is to stay in hospital for an extra night to allow him to recuperate from the incident and the lingering effects of the medication.
In the release, the team suggest that the nature of the accident may have, quite unusually, been "caused by the unpredictably gusty winds at that part of the circuit at that time" – an issue also reported by Toro Rosso debutante Carlos Sainz.
Following the initial contact, the car slid down the inside wall for fifteen seconds, rendering damage to front upright and axle. There was no damage sustained by the bodywork or crash structure between the front and rear wheels.
Alonso's personal manager, Luis Garcia Abad, tweeted a picture of the McLaren giving the thumbs up from his hospital bed earlier this evening.


Communities crushed by the foreclosure crisis are dealing with hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of abandoned and deteriorating houses. As local governments scramble to grapple with the problem, Congress, who bailed out Wall Street to the tune of $700 billion, has provided little relief. Four billion dollars has been set aside by Congress to help communities buy up and repair foreclosed houses, but will it be enough?
VOICEOVER: Around Washington, DC, Prince William County in Virginia is ground zero for the foreclosure crisis. Just this summer, Congress was patting itself on the back for passing a mortgage rescue bill that included $300 billion in guarantees for refinanced mortgages. Another $4 billion of housing and urban development money was set aside to help communities buy up and repair foreclosed houses. Prince William's share may be too little too late.
MARY KANE, REPORTER, THE WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT: You take an area like Prince William County. They're expecting 7,000 foreclosures this year. Their share of that $4 billion is going to amount to about $2 million or so to buy up some foreclosed homes. And when you break that down, we're talking about 50 to 70 homes versus 7,000 foreclosures coming down the pike. But that's not the only problem. Houses that are left to sit vacant for a long time have a lot of damage. It costs a lot of money to get a foreclosed house into shape to be sold again, and it costs a lot for the county or the city where they're located to take care of them, to clean up the vandalism and clean up the trash in the yard.
KEITH M. ELLIOTT JR., REMAX REALTOR: It's a nice subdivision. I think a lot of families live here, and they're very comfortable living here. There is, you know, problems like this, where you've got a home that is bringing down the other values of the neighboring homes. Alright. So this may have been a rec room type of scenario.
KANE: Oh, I see. They put that in. Who would buy this house? Honestly, who would buy a house like this?
ELLIOTT: I think an investor would be looking at something like this and would be looking realistically with a time frame of seven to ten years. I don't think it's realistic to think that you can turn a home like this in a year or less, or even a couple of years. I think in the conditions of the market right now you've got to be looking long-term, you've got to be looking seven to ten years.
KANE: There are a lot of "for sale" signs around this subdivision. Had there been a lot of foreclosures here? What's the situation with this subdivision?
ELLIOTT: There's been many foreclosures in this subdivision, as well as all over the county.
KANE: Is there possibly enough money to fix up all these? I mean, we're talking millions and millions of dollars you'd need to fix up all these foreclosed properties and get them back on the market. I mean, it would be a huge cost, whoever's going to do it.
ELLIOTT: It could be a tremendous cost for whoever's going to do that.
VOICEOVER: Prince William County has yet to see any of the $2 million in federal funds. They are looking forward to getting the money in February.
KANE: The way that neighborhoods and towns and communities are looking at the money is that even though it's a small amount of money, it's a start. They're looking for anything to help them restore some confidence in the market and get their housing stock moving again. So even though it's not a lot of money for them, it's better than nothing.
VOICEOVER: For local officials the $2 million will be just one element in a long struggle for stability.
ELIJAH JOHNSON, DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: We want to get that sense of community back and revitalize the markets so that we can get homeowners purchasing units and getting families moved into units. Our current proposed plan is to use the funds for down payment and closing cost assistance, along with rehab assistance, for families looking to purchase homes in the targeted areas.
VOICEOVER: A lot of foreclosed homes in Prince William County are new homes, built in the boom years when people were moving further and further into the rural areas outside of Washington, DC.
KANE: You also have foreclosures in very high-end areas. There was a lot of new development in Prince William County, a lot of subdivisions filled with, you know, big mansions. And those are having their own foreclosure problems as well.
KURT SEASTEAD: They broke the [inaudible] and they took all the cabinets with them. They left the oven cabinet, but you can see the oven's gone too. Cooktop does still work. The sink sort of works, but it leaks at the same time.
VOICEOVER: Kurt Seastead recently bought a foreclosed home that previous owners trashed before leaving. Seastead expects to pay $20,000 to repair the kitchen and other damage to his new home, but it's worth it to him, since he will be getting out of a big mortgage payment.
SEASTEAD: Well, I had sold our house. I'd actually sold a larger house, so I'm downsizing. I basically laid off the square footage. I couldn't lay off employees, but I can lay off square footage. So I went from probably about a 6,000-square-foot house to this one, about 3,000. But it cut my mortgage payment in half, cut my taxes in half. I had to get out of my house in 30 days, so we were looking for one that was vacant that was foreclosed so that we could move right away.
KANE: Okay. And were you moving right away to get out from under mortgage payment, basically?
SEASTEAD: Yeah, to get to a lower mortgage payment. Yeah. Yeah.
KANE: And if you hadn't been able to get out, was your house going to get foreclosed on?
SEASTEAD: It was getting near the end. It was getting uncomfortable.
VOICEOVER: That discomfort is likely to spread as communities wait in vain for relief to arrive from Washington.

Democratic establishment dominance has failed…
Democratic establishment dominance has failed California
Sitting in front of a tent pitched on a sidewalk, Daniel Shawn, a 48-year-old homeless man, is silhouetted against the street lights Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2017, in downtown Los Angeles.

Editor's note: Breaking views are thoughts from individual members of the editorial board on today's headlines.
As Californians cast their votes on June 5, it's worth reflecting on the current state of affairs in the Golden State.
California leads the nation in poverty. One-in-five Californians are impoverished according to the the Supplemental Poverty Measure. By another measure, the California Poverty Measure, created by the Public Policy Institute of California and the Stanford Center on Poverty and Inequality, nearly four in ten Californians are either in or near poverty.
Much of this is due to a chronic shortage in housing production and availability. According to reports from the California Housing Partnership, California is short 1.5 million housing units needed to meet the needs of California's many impoverished. The shortage of housing has many causes, but some of the reasons include abuses of laws like CEQA and far too many zoning restrictions.
California's K-12 education system consistently ranks near the bottom on nationwide tests. Most California students fail to meet the state's own standards on English and math. According to the Legislative Analyst's Office, in 2017 just "49 percent of California students met or exceeded standards in English language arts" and 38 percent did the same on math. Wide disparities exist among income and racial lines, with just 25 percent of low-income black 8th graders reaching proficiency in English versus 62 percent for low-income Asians. It's a disgrace.
Would 'wealth taxes' bring big bucks or spur exodus?
Adam Schiff, the guy who voted for the Iraq war and the Patriot Act, for Senate? Nah.

California also has the largest homeless population in the country and is home to one-in-four of all homeless individuals nationwide. Just as exceptionally, California does an exceptionally poor job of dealing with them, with more than two-thirds of the homeless living without shelter, the highest rate in the nation.
On top of it all, California has some of the highest tax rates in the country. Thanks to laws rammed through the Legislature like SB1, Californians can really only look forward to that problem getting worse. With pension problems far from over, Californians can expect calls for even more taxes, including a split roll property tax proposal. I hate to break it to the progressives out there, there's nothing progressive about more and more tax money going towards pensions and enriching public sector unions.
This is a state of affairs that no one should be proud of. Sure, there are plenty of metrics by which the economy is growing. There are plenty of Californians doing well. But what about the millions who don't have the luxury to celebrate factoids like "California has the 5th largest economy in the world"?
Something has to change. The status quo isn't working.

This is a collection of some ideas about Parsha Shemot.
First, we begin a whole new energetic period of time called Shovavim, which is the weekly Parshas beginning with Shemot and ending with Mishpatim. This is a period of time when we, and of course the people in the Bible times, are coming to rectify something that began with Adam, who was separated from his wife in the Garden of Eden fall-out. Their separation caused scattered seed, which means scattered life energy, and the goal of this period of time is to bring the scattered energy back together.
That's what we're going to be doing for the next six weeks, and it parallels the stories about bringing back energy, about interconnected energy. So that's one thing that begins in Shemot. Essentially, we're going from the Patriarchal period into an Exile period, which is followed later by a Redemption period. The Israelites were pretty civilized, but tended to sink into slave mentality during the 210 year period of forced slavery.
One of the things that comes up during this period is that the Israelites were rapidly reproducing, and the more Pharaoh tried to oppress them, the more they reproduced. It's an interesting phenomenon… You leave it to G-d to take care of you, and you can rely on that, no matter what the opposition tries to do to you. So, the Israelites reproduced in great numbers, which ultimately formed the nation of Israel.
G-d promised to Jacob that He would make of us a great nation, and that He will be with us and take us out of slavery also. So, the hand of G-d is operating, even in the midst of the darkness of Egypt, the lowest and most depraved of nations. G-d's there with us and the miracles are happening, maybe on a more subtle level.
So, we reproduced a lot, and we did that in spite of Pharaoh's efforts to the contrary, meaning he worked us and he baited us. He promised to come out into the fields with us, and pay us well and take care of us. Pharaoh was the first of the real politicians, saying one thing with his mouth while thinking and planning something else entirely. It was said of Pharaoh, "he had a soft mouth," meaning he could be very convincing, and in fact he seduced most of the Israelites into doing his bidding, with the exception of the tribe of Levi. The Levis never became slaves, and they learned Torah instead, for the entire 210 years of the Eqyptian exile.
This is an incredible lesson because, spiritually speaking, the spiritual heirs of the tribe of Levi are the Torah students of all generations. So, when other people get seriously seduced into the traps of society (and there are so many of them) the person who sticks to his guns inside of Torah is impervious to that whole influence, as was the tribe of Levi in Eqypt.
Pharaoh induced the Israelites into slavery, and then approximately eighty years after the exile began Moses was born. They looked at him and knew there was goodness there, and there was a whole reincarnation thing going on with Moses as well. It was a reincarnation rectification of Adam. Moses was born good, something recognized through the daughter of Pharaoh, Batya, who adopted the baby Moses. She took him out of the Nile River and she raised him, and even though he was raised in the Egyptian environment, because of his inherent goodness (and Batya's goodness) Moses kept the pure side of himself. He could see through the façade of the Egyptian royal family all along, and he eventually escaped the kingdom after an episode with an Egyptian taskmaster who was beating up an Israelite slave. Moses killed the Egyptian, so he knew he would be in trouble and that's when he left and went to Midian, in the desert.
This is an incredible lesson, really, because G-d can do anything, to the extent that we let Him in. The basic question people ask is, "Where is G-d now?" and the answer is, "Wherever we let Him I," which applies on many different levels. If we let G-d in to do miracles in our lives He WILL do miracles in our lives. But most people cannot believe that because they're blinded by nature.
Moses was told, "You're the leader. You're the one who is going to bring them out, so you've got to believe in Me. You're a stutterer." And he was. Moses was a stutterer because the Israelites were slaves, and people in that kind of slave mentality were not articulate people. And what happens with the people happens with Moses, their leader. He is a mirror of them and they are a mirror of him. They stuttered, he stuttered. They couldn't talk, he couldn't talk.
Moses said, "How am I going to talk? How am I going to be their leader?" And G-d said, "You don't understand. I will speak through you, for you. We'll start off by letting Aaron do the talking for you. Your big brother, 3 years older than you is a better speaker.
So, Moses asked G-d, "What do I tell the people about who sent me? I could tell them several different names of G-d. Which one do I tell them that they will truly believe?
And G-d told Moses, "I will be who I will be." It's "will be" in the future tense, a Divine Name symbolizing the ability to have patience and wait, the ability to trust that things will work out, the ability to see the light at the end of the tunnel, the ability to hope, (which happened in last week's Parsha when Jacob was blessing Dan he said a prayer, "For your salvation I hope all day long.") Hope is the key to Geula, to Redemption.
G-d told Moses to talk to the Israelites about hope, about how it's a done deal and that they will bring it by hoping and by waiting for Me. And that's ultimately what happened with the Israelites, as Pharaoh kept kicking and fighting and questioning, "Who is this G-d that Moses should hear His voice?" Since Pharaoh help himself up as a deity and knew nearly everything about spiritual matters in the world at that time he was disturbed because he didn't know about this Divine Name, this G-d of Moses. Or, maybe he did know, but he denied it. There are commentaries from our sages from both viewpoints.
So, that's the set-up of this week's Parsha and the beginning of plagues next week, and the exodus from Egypt the following week, and coming through the Red Sea the following week. The state is being set this week in Parsha Shemot.
