Potholes Filled With Pictures Made of Mosaics In Chicago, Painting, Pranks, Penises in UK

Problem
Potholes - everywhere - and one right outside your door. How can you fill it?

Answer
Pothole fillers who got tired of waiting have been working on potholes in the USA and UK. How to find them? There's an online map for the Chicago pothole art. Here's where to see them:

USA
Chicago - mosaics in potholes - made by Jim Bachor, mosaic artist. Every year he has a new theme, such as ice cream of flowers, something attractive. He encourages publicity by leaving a goody bag for/from the Best Neighbour with instructions on how to post links to his artwork.

UK Pothole
In the UK, in the city of Manchester in the north of England, potholes have been outlined by prankster nicknamed Wanksy (for any foreign language readers, this is a pun on the name of graffiti artist Banksy, combined with an insulting rude word). W a n k s y (spaces inserted in text to defeat 'spell spoiler' (Angela Lansbury's term, coined today, 26 April 2017) which prefers winks) has used graffiti to draw penises around potholes to draw attention to them. I'm a fairly prudish person in some ways, when it comes to what is said, done, and painted in public places, but I think, for once, this is 'hilarious' (as the Daily Mail likes to say).

Artistic or obscene? Amusing and practical? Both have their places in filling potholes.

Saving travel photos and memories

You can save souvenirs of your travel trips in many ways.

PHOTO SLIDESHOW

Make your photos into a slide show using Powerpoint or Keynote (on Apple Mac laptops or iPads) or Mosaic. Starting with a title page and map, ending with a photo of yourself at home or unpacking souvenirs. Add music. Or recipes. Or a page of websites and addresses at the end. Or list your future or all previous trips.

WATERCOLOURS, SKETCHES & CARICATURES
I draw pictures of people I meet. I carry watercolour pencils. (Less messy and less time consuming than watercolour paints or oil paints. You can also take photos and draw pictures in the evening or after you get home.

PRINTS & TEE-SHIRTS
A print of your family with the car is useful if you often lose each other. You can point to your tee-shirt and ask, have you seen my husband, children, car?

EMBROIDERY
A lady in Singapore makes embroidery pictures of the places she visits. How could you do this? Print photos onto a tee shirt.

Wine label, Workplace and Language Flashcards - Read or Make Your Own

I am studying for level one of the WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) exam and I've been creating a set of slides in Keynote (apple equivalent of Powerpoint or Mosaic) about wine and wine label/menu languages in French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. I find learning from pages of vocabulary is tedious, whilst reading a wine bottle or chocolate label or clothes label is more interesting because you have a purpose and the word has an importance, telling you about quality, or safety.

The terms on wine labels make it easy to remember, but they are not quite same as the word in everyday language. It's easy to remember that vinho verde means literally green wine, but in context of wine this could mean white wine or young wine. Casa means house, but in the context of wine it could mean wine from a single vineyard, not blended wine.

I'd filled in a few Portuguese terms but needed more so I googled Portuguese wine terms. Up pops a site which has flashcards of Portuguese wine terms. The same page has links to other languages, (everything except French), Spanish, and Italian.

I then went back to the home page looking for French and German, the home page labelled Flashcards. Up pop pages of languages, everything you could think of, right the way from Afrikaans and Arabic down to Urdu, Vietnamese, Welsh, Yiddish and Yoruba.

If you don't see what you want, you can create your own in any language, from a book, the internet, from signs you pass when travelling, or for example sitting on a bus or plane, talking to somebody from a foreign country or reading a menu in a restaurant.

You can make flashcards for your phone to revise on the bus, and make flashcards for any subject, not just languages, but any subject you are studying, for exams, for holidays and travel, or a glossary of terms used at work, for example, computers, law enforcement, medicine, the military.

You could also print them off and use them for a Xmas quiz on Xmas and New Year greetings in foreign languages for a Xmas dinner or Xmas party.
