Pann's is a coffee shop restaurant in the Westchester neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, known for its history, role in movies, and distinctive architecture. The restaurant was opened by husband and wife George and Rena Poulos in 1958. It is also known for its neon sign, Googie architecture, and 1950s decor. The building and its iconic neon sign were designed by architects Eldon Davis and Helen Liu Fong of the Armet & Davis architectural firm. Pann's remains one of the best preserved examples of Davis' Googie designs, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Like many coffee shops it serves breakfast all day. The restaurant also serves "blue-plate specials," complete meals that vary daily.

Pann's includes an angular edifice and large plate glass windows and has been described as having "the classic coffee shop architecture". It was designed by Helen Liu Fong, who also designed the Holiday Bowl, Johnie's coffee shop, and the original Norms Restaurant. She included tropical landscaping in the design, and was part of the firm of Armet & Davis that one commentator refers to as "the Frank Lloyd Wright of 1950s coffee shops." Pann's is currently owned by George and Rena's son Jim Poulos. Rena Poulos died at age 100 in 2017. Ed Begley, Jr. told a story about running into César Chávez at Pann's in the 1980s.

Pann's was featured in a story in the Los Angeles Times, "Going on a hunt for Googie architecture," which noted the restaurant's tilted roof and sign, tropical plants and exposed stone walls indoors and out, and glass windows wrapping around the restaurant. Pann's celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2008.

Recognition
Winner of the Los Angeles Conservancy Preservation Award
 Pann's has operated under a number of snappy mottoes, including "Just Food, Service and Rock & Roll."
The restaurant has been featured in films such as xXx and Bewitched
Contrary to popular belief, Pulp Fiction was not filmed at Pann's; it was filmed at another restaurant owned by the Poulos family, Holly’s, in Hawthorne.

According to Genesis 25:4, Abida ( ʾĂḇīḏāʿ) was the son of Midian, and the grandson of Abraham and his wife Keturah. He had four brothers: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch and Eldaah.

According to Easton's Bible Dictionary, Abida means "father of knowledge" or "knowing." The name appears only in Genesis 25:4 and 1 Chronicles 1:33.  On the basis of his derivation from Midian, Easton infers that he was the ancestor of an Arab tribe.

Ian Button (born 16 April 1962) is an English guitarist best known for his work in the bands Thrashing Doves (1985-1991) and Death In Vegas (1994-2011).  Button was one of a core of additional musicians originally brought in by Death In Vegas founders Richard Fearless and Steve Hellier, and his contribution was significant throughout the band's first four albums and in the live band up to 2004.

Button's professional musical career began in the early 1980s shortly after he left University of Leeds. In summer 1981 he had been in talks with The Sisters of Mercy in Leeds about becoming their drummer - in the event he returned to Kent after only a year of his studies, got a job at Pinnacle Records, and joined the band that would eventually become Thrashing Doves. (Button was approached again to play guitar for The Sisters of Mercy in 2001).

Alongside his long-term band projects through the 1980s and 90s his career included a range of sessions live and on record for artists such as Dot Allison, Cathy Dennis, Brandon Block and Arthur Baker - he also wrote and recorded the theme for BBC One's The Saturday Show in 2001.

From 2004-2021, Button also worked as a freelance lecturer in music production and other related subjects at Point Blank Music School, Canterbury Christ Church University, Canterbury College, Kent and University of Westminster.

He has largely switched to drums as his main instrument and has been involved in playing live and on recordings for a number of projects including the antifolk bands Paul Hawkins & The Awkward Silences, Lucy's Diary, Sergeant Buzfuz and David Cronenberg's Wife, D.I.V bassist Mat Flint's band Deep Cut, Wreckless Eric, Robert Rotifer, Picturebox, Mark & The Clouds, Darren Hayman, Mary Epworth, Judy Dyble & Andy Lewis, Twink, André Heller, Louis Philippe, Pete Astor, Robert Forster, Helen McCookerybook and Go Kart Mozart (whose album Mozart's Mini-Mart he produced with Lawrence).

His work in production has involved mixing and mastering releases for a range of independent labels including Tapete Records, Cherry Red Records, Fortuna Pop!, Blang Records, WIAIWYA and Fika Recordings. He has also composed and recorded library/production music in projects for Universal Music Group, Bucks Music Group, Ravenwood Music and JW Media Music.

Since 1993, Button has released his own material under various aliases: Motorcyclone, Ashley Flowers, and The Anthony Anderson Project (he used the name Anthony Anderson as his credit on the first Death In Vegas  album Dead Elvis).

In December 2011, he began work on material for an album with a new project that would become Papernut Cambridge, his current band/collective which has gone on to release a series of albums since 2013 on Gare Du Nord Records  - the label Button founded with Robert Rotifer and Ralegh Long.

WGTM was an AM radio station licensed to and located in Wilson, North Carolina.  Named for the World's Greatest Tobacco Market, WGTM was founded in the 1930s by the Wilson Tobacco Board of Trade. The station originally transmitted at 1310 kHz, and last operated on 590 kHz with 5000 watts full-time. 106.7 WGTM-FM was silenced by Hurricane Hazel which destroyed the tower in October 1954.

Owned by Campbell Broadcasting in the 1960s until 1985, WGTM had a block-type format, featuring local news, country, AC, gospel, & rock. It was then sold to Willis Broadcasting and the format changed to urban contemporary gospel.

The studios were located in the back of a church supply store on Hwy 42 West of Wilson. The transmitter site is near Rock Ridge and features a 4 tower array that covers a large part of eastern North Carolina.

In the 1950s and 1960s the studios were located on US Highway 301 and later just off of I-95. WGTM fell silent on March 13, 2010.

WGTM was deleted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on December 2, 2011, for failure to file for the renewal of its license (which expired a day earlier).

The Tariff of 1857 was a major tax reduction in the United States that amended the Walker Tariff of 1846 by lowering rates to between 15% and 24%.

The Tariff of 1857 was developed in response to a federal budget surplus in the mid-1850s. The first version was authored by Representative Lewis D. Campbell and contained provisions only for an increased number of goods that could be imported without duties being leveed.  After protests primarily from agricultural interests, Senator Robert Mercer Taliaferro Hunter introduced a new version of the bill, which in addition to removing duties from some imports decreased all tariffs by between 20% and 25%.  The bill was signed into law on 3 March 1857.

Support for the bill did not come from any political or geographic bloc as a whole, but was driven primarily by local economic interests. For example, Northeastern wool processors supported the bill, as they had been suffering under high duties on their goods, but Northern manufacturers advocated high protectionist tariffs. Southern agricultural interests generally supported the lower tariffs, as they had long felt that the tariffs advocated by Northern industry led to unfairly high costs for the goods that the farmers consumed.

According to the historian Kenneth M. Stampp, the bill "was possible because it did not represent a victory of one section over the other; nor did it produce a clear division between parties. Its supporters included Democrats, Republicans, and Americans; representatives of northern merchants, manufacturers, and railroad interests; and spokesmen for southern farmers and planters. Opposition came largely from two economic groups: the iron manufacturers of Pennsylvania and the wool growers of New England and the West." 

When the Panic of 1857 struck later that year, protectionists, led by the economist Henry C. Carey, blamed the downturn on the new tariff.

The tariff reductions lasted only a few years, as the highly-protectionist Morrill Tariff was signed into law in March 1861.
