Quillian Lanier Meaders (1917-98)

Article Abstract:

Folk potter Quillian Lanier Meaders passed away in 1998 at the age of 81. He was the third generation torch-bearer for the enterprise Meaders Pottery which his grandfather founded in 1892 in Mossy Creek, Georgia, but which had been the family craft since the 1820s. His best-known works were the face jugs that were featured at the Smithsonian Institution's Festival of American Folklife in the late 1960s. Lanier Meaders' continued commitment to alkaline-glazed stoneware despite other potters' move to more modern products made him a significant connection to the old pottery tradition.

Problems with doctors' surgeries

Article Abstract:

There has been growing concern over recent years about the sharp fall in the value of many doctors' surgeries in the UK. In some cases, the fall in value has been much larger than that of local properties. This could be partly because it is illegal to sell 'NHS goodwill', but has also been the result of inconsistent work by valuers. It is common for valuations to vary greatly, making it very hard to agree a deal if, for example, a doctor wishes to purchase the share held by a retiring colleague.
