Although not able to explore inside the buildings, this facility in Mexico, MO was still cool to see.
Originally the Mexico Fire Brick and Fire Clay Company, founded in either the early 1900's or late 1800's, I am not sure which, it was purchased in 1910 by A.P. Green for a whopping $85,000 and became the A.P. Green Fire Brick Company. Five years later, when the company became incorporated, the value of the equipment and facility had risen to over $200,000. This plant was one of the world's leading producers of brick, and bricks from this plant were even used in the boilers of Navy warships. The military awarded the Army-Navy "E" for Excellence and Maritime "M" to the A.P. Green Company in recognition for its achievements during WWII. Bricks from this factory even line the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. In it's heyday, over 2,000 people were employed and nearly everyone in the town of Mexico could hear the whistle blow for shift changes. Unfortunately in 2002, the plant closed down. A new company by the name of Mid America Brick came by an in 2009, purchased the facility for $9.7 million. Mid America did not last long. In 2013, Mid America filed for bankruptcy and the site was again abandoned. Now the assets are owned by Shamrock Proppants' and the site lies mostly abandoned.
This Majolica, in the main square, at Amalfi entrance, represents the Amalfi seafaring power and illustrates Amalfi's history, as in the reported sentence which is quoting a very famous verse by Gabriele D'Annunzio, one of the most important Italian poets. Another quotation is "Contra hostes fidei semper pugnavit Amalphis"; "Amalfi has always defeated the enemies of the Faith"; that is the motto of Amalphitans which refers to their loyal support of the Vatican during wartime.

I am drawing this huge Dungeon Master World Map with MS Paint. All single accessories: houses, trees, rocks have been designed and placed one by one. It is in close relation with my novel that I am writing about this game.
The places described there, have been pointed out to me by Bewuuf, one forum administrator of dungeon-master.com.
I realized too late that on his sketch, he described only one human castle... Banville. One day I should re-edit this area to respect the original idea.
It still too much to do. It is far to be completed.

This 91-page report documents recent cases in which criminal libel, slander, and "insult" laws have been used to silence public criticism. Criminal defamation charges have been filed against individuals after they held public demonstrations protesting corruption, wrote letters to the editor complaining about fraud, registered formal complaints with the authorities, and published news reports about sensitive subjects.
