Welcome to my Monthly List of Toy Cars for Sale featuring Hot Wheels, Lesney Matchbox, Topper Johnny Lightning's and other interesting vintage toy cars. I am a collector of Hot Wheels made from 1967 to 1977, Lesney Matchbox 1955-70 and assorted other cars and accessories. I enjoy buying large collections and have had extra toys for sale in my Monthly List of Toy Cars for Sale since July 1991.
WHAT IS THE TOY CAR COLLECTOR? – My name is David Williamson and I have been collecting toy cars since 1966 when my dad brought home a Matchbox #6 Euclid Dump Truck. From that time on I never stopped collecting toy cars. I started this monthly list in July of 1991 to sell a few of my extra cars. My first list was sent to 13 people and had only 17 cars listed.
there is a total of 3,653 different cars.
If everything on this site was in a large room and you started the site from scratch it would take nearly 2 years to create it working 40 hours per week. That is provided you already had full knowledge of all of these models, how to judge condition, what they are worth, web site design, photography and inventory control. And it helps to have been active in the collector's community for 25 years.
I still doing everything the same way as I did when the list was small; I operate in a professional manner and work towards always providing the best toys and service available.
HOW THE CATALOG WORKS - You can see everything I have for sale right here on this site with full color photos. Or I can send you a printed listing with no photos if you contact me with your name and address.
ORDERING - Once you have looked over the list and found the items you want, give me a call or email and I'll make sure I have those items for you. Unlike other websites this one is constantly updated and usually all the items you want will be available when you call. Honestly there are no other web sites like this, it is just simply too much work for a normal person to create or maintain. I started so long ago and have dedicated myself to the art of collecting.
After ordering you can pay by credit card or pay-pal and have your order arrive in about 5 days. You have up to 10 days to make payment by money order or check. Checks are accepted with a 10-day hold to clear your bank.
GUARANTEE - All items are guaranteed to be great. All cars for sale are graded conservatively, the same way I grade my own collection. Refunds or exchanges gladly. My reputation depends on your satisfaction!
MINT (C-10) New, fresh, clean, no defects, bright. I do not use this grade even if a car would qualify because really nothing is perfect.
MINT – (C-9.5) Very minor flaw, factory caused, and no playwear.
NEAR MINT (C-9) Minor flaws, clean and bright.
EXCEL (C-8) Gently played with toy, nice condition.
GOOD (C-7) Showing average playwear, the kind you played with as a kid.
POOR (C-6) Not pretty, but complete unless noted.
All cars are carefully examined for condition multiple times. First when I aquire the car, second when I list it, third when I add to a model selection I check conditions, and lastly when I prepare it for you. It is time consuming and helps explain why this is the only site and catalog like mine.
SHIPPING - Most orders are sent by either US Mail First Class (up to 13 ounces) which is typically $3 or by Priority Mail. All orders are insured to the full value for loss or damage. All postage costs are added to the order.
Standard size packages under 13 ounced cost just $3 for the first $200. Higher value packages are insured.
Out of country postage is at cost and includes insurance from Stamps.com so customs fees are not an issue.

Personally, I think they are a throwback to a simpler time of quick-fire, magazine-based criticism that has more than worn out its welcome in the Internet Age. Even with your explanation, I find it much easier to read Special/Excellent/Very Good/Good than I do 10, 9, 8, 7.
I don't need numbers to help me compare games and I think that's a destructive attitude to take anyway. Each game comes with its own expectations, context, etc. For example, you rated The Swapper, a tiny but fun game higher than The Last of Us, a game largely hailed as a cinematic masterpiece as far as game's goes and one with a deeply engrossing setting/story that's only reinforced by the gameplay mechanics and features. If you called The Swapper 'Something Special' and The Last of Us 'Excellent', I wouldn't immediately think to compare the two of them, but by scoring them, I do.
I would rather see reviewers abandon the 10-point scale entirely, and instead focus more on a bible to what they look for, expect, and hope to see in the games they review. At least then I have a standard and a baseline that actually communicates something to me as the reader. This post in general was a good start of that for you, and I learned more about your reviews than I ever would by looking at a chart of what your numbers mean.
I guess it's just an idea stuck in my head that reviews need scores. I think of them more as a summary/culmination of all the points brought up in the review. I don't necessarily think that comparing games based on scores is destructive, at least not in the way I review games, because reviews are about how much I personally enjoyed something.
I agree that it would be nice if every reviewer laid out what they're looking for, it would make reviews much more meaningful, and let me know whose reviews to put stock in and who looks for game aspects that don't matter as much to me.
Some day i would like if you do a review on Child of Light. But this one are good too, thank you for sharing!
I actually just got Child of Light for my birthday. I might review when I get around to playing it, but I've already got another dozen or so games on the go.

St. Louis Family Court, Justice Department Reach Agreement in Juvenile Cases
Posted By Doyle Murphy on Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 8:28 AM

As part of deal with the Justice Department, St. Louis County Family Court officials have promised changes to a system that federal inspectors say was biased against black kids and generally failed to protect the rights of young defendants.
The agreement calls for more defense lawyers, prompt legal representation for young suspects and new strategies to combat the over-representation of black defendants in the system.
Federal officials in 2015 blasted the Family Court after inspectors discovered some serious problems. Black juveniles were less likely to be chosen for diversion programs than white, according the the Justice Department review. They were two-and-a-half times more likely to be jailed as they awaited trial. And they were nearly three times more likely to sentenced to the custody of Division of Youth Services if convicted, while young whites were more likely to get probation or other, less severe consequences.
"In short, Black children are subjected to harsher treatment because of their race," Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Vanita Gupta wrote in a 2015 letter.
Family Court officials contested the 2015 findings — the agreement makes clear that they still do — but they agreed to the changes to "ensure due process and equal protection for youth coming before the court in St. Louis County," according to a news release.
"The St. Louis Family Court is deeply committed to safeguarding the constitutional rights of youth who come into contact with the juvenile justice system and to providing them with the services that will help them make better choices and lead productive, positive lives," Family Court Administrator Ben Burkemper said in a statement.
As part of the new changes, police won't be able to interrogate kids without the child's attorney in the county detention center, and deputy juvenile officers will have to undergo more training on racial and ethnic disparities in the system.
The court will also be restructured to fix conflicts of interest.

When Will The Herbert Armstrong Gravy Train Ever Be Derailed?
A quote from the Shining Light blog:
When will the gravy train that Herbert started stop. The train is still running and the ministers are still supporting Herbert who have them the right to travel on this train. The ordinary members are still being ripped off by them and the train is still running. Examine the tithing scriptures in Leviticus brothers. Do you really have an increase or are you just struggling to keep a roof over your head and paying to have an overpriveliged elite dominate you and feed you a lot of selfserving and watered down teaching? Take care of your families and study the word of God yourself Teach your children yourself and don't hand over your responsibilities to others.
When will the sheeple in all the various harlot daughters of Armstrongism stop feeding these fat cats? Until members stop sending in money to fund these fraudulent ministries the train will continue to roll on.
David C Pack On A Land Buying Spree As Income Declines
Ever since Dave Pack bought property in Wadsworth, Ohio so that he could build the most superfantabulous campus EVER, local Wadsworth residents have had concerns about the cult in their midst.
Dave bought property located between a busy freeway and a big lot store. His plans were to build a miniature version of the Ambassador Campus in Pasadena. Never one to have an original thought in his head, Pack designed his campus to look almost exactly like Pasadena. Or at least he attempted too.
After his epic and well publicized property failure the three COG leaders would be struck dead by his god and that all of their members would jump over to the Restored Church of God with all of their money.
With tens of thousands of people set to swarm upon Wadsworth for the Feast that never happened, Dave set about buying land. He bought large swaths of weed infested land so that Dale Schurter could transform it into a millennial paradise.
Now it seems Dave is buying properties from home owners next his compound.
The following comment was added today to the previous thread Wadsworth Residents Deeply Concerned About David C Pack's Cult Compound.
The RCG continues to thrive in Wadsworth as many in the community are becoming uneasy about their growth and presence. They haven't done much to become part of our town, except to continue to buy more of it.
I have never seen an invitation from the church to the community to attend a service. This is extremely odd behavior for a church.
They have no community outreach that has been made public, and they have a gated entrance to their property, another unusual situation for a "church".
It's interesting to note that they have been buying properties from homeowners along Akron Rd going west into Wadsworth. As they acquire more property and continue to secure themselves behind gates, they are portraying themselves more and more as a cult compound that bears closer scrutiny. -
Vern Mattson On Herbert Armstrong Committing Incest
Here is an excerpt from a letter from a former COG member that talks about Herbert Armstrong committing incest with his daughter Dottie.
They found that at this time, Vern Mattson resided in Sun City, AZ., the year being 2010. Upon finding their number, my dad simply called them. Vern Mattson picked up. Dad just told him that he was a member of the Philadelphia Church of God and had been for a few years, raising his children in the Worldwide and in the PCG. Then, he just told him what my mom had heard and could these things be true? And, if they were, our dad's big question was, to Vern Mattson, why didn't someone, somebody in their family come out years ago, and tell the WCG, the truth?
First thing out of Vern Mattson's mouth was that he couldn't believe that there was now an actual college named after Herbert Armstrong in Oklahoma3, and why would they do that? My dad's answer was, starting with Gerald Flurry, right on down, they firmly believed that he (Herbert W. Armstrong) was God's man. Whatever, over the years, that the leaders or members have heard or seen, no way would it or could it be believed! He told him, it's who they are, it's their lives, just like it was ours.
It's what our fathers have taught us and on down the line it goes!! My dad said it was pretty quiet on the other end there, for a bit. Then he heard the words, "Well, it's true. You can believe it."
He said he really had no problem talking about it now, because his wife Dottie [Dorothy], had just recently passed.4 He said it made him angry, sickened them for a long time, because of the thousands of people out there, in the WCG, that really had no idea! He told my dad things that evening, on the phone, that my dad felt responsible to tell me.
Vern Mattson said, over the years, with all that's out there now, on these computers, David Robinson's book, and plenty others written by his top ministers; he said, you got the Ambassador Report, full of documented facts and dates, exposing all the lies, mishandling of money, the incest with his own daughter.5 When I found out what he had done to my wife when she was just a young girl, you see we raised a daughter too, this was his own daughter, scaring and hurting her like that, over and over again, I was going to kill him!
I won't forget her words, years ago, when she asked me, how could a great and loving God go against Himself like that, by calling a man to raise up His "one and only true Church," a man that would hurt his own daughter like that?
To all the fathers out there who have a daughter, your little girl, how would you answer that?
I can tell you how Herbert Armstrong answered that, because of the last thing Vern Mattson told my dad on the phone that day, something he said, he has never forgotten.
His wife, Dottie [Dorothy], told him of an incident that had happened back in the late `30s or so, that he could never ever repeat, but what he could say, was that she was pleading with her father one night, she wanted it to stop. (Herbert Armstrong had her in a hotel room, and her voice was overheard by others, and a person who worked there came knocking on their door, wondering if anything was wrong?) His reply, his answer--the man we so strongly believed in--his answer when my wife, his daughter, his little girl, cried out to him, was: "God gave you to me and it is my job to teach you. This will help you to be a better wife someday."

Living Church of God: Did Doug Winnail Take A Swipe At Rod Meredith's Lack Of Love?
Doug Winnail really laid it on thick in his December 18, 2015 LCG Weekly Update. His remarks were made following the latest LCG Counsel of Elders meeting in which there was much disunity in the "most unified church EVER" about the direction of the church, doctrinal upgrades/theories, tactics to address all the bad PR they have earned in the last year and most especially WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE OVER-EXTENDED FINANCIALLY. Counsel members all had to put their pet projects on the table for possible budget cuts. Alliances were formed and politics ruled the week. Winnail likely had all of that fresh in his mind when he penned this Update.
Sadly, anyone close to LCG headquarters or close to any honest minister who is willing to openly share his thoughts and observations about church government, knows what a load of crap these statements are coming from the head of Church Administration of one of the most corrupt and carnal church headquarters ever in the ACOG movement.
Winnail admonishes those in LCG to "develop and exercise Godly Love". Most of us would completely agree that Godly love is a real rarity in LCG's higher ups. Doug goes on to define Godly love as, "an unselfish outgoing concern for others" which again is true but in stark contrast to the self-serving, greedy, power hungry RCM and his LCG ministry that demands total obedience and admiration from their subjects. They expect to be served and are far too high and mighty to ever lower themselves to the level of a servant. The admiration and submission that many in LCG give them (think of the long lines at the Feast just to meet and shake the hand of Richard Ames or Rod Meredith) just fuels the flames of their over grown egos. The men at headquarters really impress themselves!
The best line in the whole piece is, "Godly love does not seek its own way; it is calm and not easily provoked, it does not jump to conclusions or assign motives or sit in judgment of others. Instead, Godly Love is gracious and forgiving". Seriously?! Rod Meredith is one of the most spoiled, narcissistic, self-seeking men I have ever met. He FREQUENTLY jumps to conclusions and assigns motives. He is RARELY gracious and forgiving and feels that as 3rd in all the universe, it is not only his right, but his duty to sit in judgment of WHOMEVER HE CHOOSES.
It really makes one wonder if Winnail was aiming this piece directly at Meredith himself...
The Most Important Quality
Most of God's people understand the importance of keeping the commandments, the Sabbath, the Holy Days and the health laws of the Bible. They also know the importance of government, tithing, faith and watching for the fulfillment of prophecy. Yet sometimes, in our zeal to obey the laws of God, we can overlook something else that is even more important—the need to develop and exercise Godly Love. We are told in the Scriptures that without Godly Love, we are nothing (1 Corinthians 13:1-3). Here the biblical word for love (agape) refers to an unselfish outgoing concern for others. In 1 Corinthians 13, the Apostle Paul states that Godly Love does not seek its own way; it is calm and not easily provoked, it does not jump to conclusions or assign motives or sit in judgment of others. Instead, Godly Love is gracious and forgiving. It is positive and focuses on what is right and true. It never fails or falters. Godly Love is the most important fruit of God's Spirit that we must nourish and cultivate if we hope to become like our Father and Elder Brother Jesus Christ because God is love (1 John 4:8). Let's make that our goal. Let's ask God to help us learn how to love Him and love others as He does, so we can develop this most important quality of Godly Love. Have a profitable Sabbath,Douglas S. Winnail

(Reuters Health) - Limiting time spent on specific drills during practice could help reduce head impacts among U.S. college football players, researchers say.
Shortening the highest-risk drills by a few minutes per practice could cut the equivalent of nearly a year's worth of head impacts over the course of a college career, the researchers write in Annals of Biomedical Engineering.
"More research has been done in recent years around routine head impacts that don't cause concussions but lead to adverse effects later in life," said study leader Breton Asken of the University of Florida in Gainesville.
In 2017, for instance, the National Collegiate Athletic Association restricted practice times and eliminated two-a-day practices in hopes of reducing routine head impacts.
At the University of Florida, Breton and colleagues studied drill-specific head impacts among 47 players over two years.
Players wore a head impact telemetry system that uses sensors to measure "friendly fire" impacts among teammates. Researchers were able to look at particular field positions, different types of drills and head impacts, and hits sustained per person per minute.
During 169 practice sessions, they recorded more than 32,000 impacts and found significant differences in hits sustained per person per minute based on player position for 14 drills. For instance, some linemen - both offensive and defensive - faced nearly triple the risk for head impact compared with non-linemen. For all drills except one known as "special teams," hits per person per minute where higher for linemen.
Impacts were most severe during spring practice, followed by fall training camp and in-season sessions. Practices with full pads tended to have more head impacts than when athletes dressed in lighter unpadded equipment or in helmets only.
More than 80 percent of avoidable head impacts were attributable to just three drills - known as "team run," "move the field" and "team" - all 11-versus-11 full team drills.
The authors recommend shortening these three high-risk drills. Clipping them by a few minutes each could result in 1,000 fewer head impacts for linemen and 300 fewer impacts for non-linemen over a college career, the researchers estimate.
Researchers will need to look at the practical aspect of implementing these changes, the authors note.
"The next steps are to educate coaches about these findings so they can plan practices to decrease head impacts while still preparing their teams," said coauthor Dr. Jay Clugston, a team doctor for the University of Florida Athletic Association.
"We'd also suggest they not only lessen time in high-risk drills but space them out to decrease the density of impacts, which is felt to influence concussion risk," Clugston said by email.
Changing practice sessions requires buy-in from everyone, including administrators, coaches, trainers, sports medicine professionals and players themselves, said Jessica Wallace, athletic training program director at Youngstown State University in Ohio, in a phone interview.

We've embraced all types of party, from the infamous BAFTA TV Awards, to a 30th birthday party in Hampshire for 40 guests, to a 4th birthday party in Chelsea. No party is too big or too small! We love an old fashioned black-tie "why the hell not" party, enclosing the client's garden in a gigantic stretch tent and a 50th birthday party out in Greece, with Michelin star chef Skye Gyngell. Henley Music Festival was a fun one too, with Elton John performing & Michelin-starred chef Daniel Clifford creating an exclusive tasting menu for 950 covers a night, whilst in addition we looked after 6,000 guests per night for 7 days.
Now to the weddings, our CEO's favourite! Perhaps one of the most enjoyable was the wedding of Lord & Lady Weymouth - a 3-day event held at Longleat House. Within the team we've been involved in numerous wonderful weddings, from 300 guests in Hampshire to 150 guests on the Isle of Wight. In fact, we have over 100 weddings under our belt, many held at palaces and stately homes throughout the country.

I found a great baker near me who's also a military spouse, named Dana. she did all of the treats for the party -except my cotton candy that kept melting lol. These cookies were beautiful and delicious. They didn't last very long lol.
How adorable are the marble cake pops though? They tasted delicious as well.
She was even able to make the icing on the cupcakes marble.
This cake though!!! She definitely nailed the marble look I wanted.
Me and my squad who came down for the party in our robes. I didn't take many photos because the point was to unwind and unplug. The mobile spa came by and set up manicure, facial, and massage stations right in my living room. It was definitely worth the splurge to have the spa come to you.
My closet is one of my fave spots in my in the house. I also have my glam area in there. Unfortunately, the lighting isn't great. One of my birthday presents was a glam vanity light! Im super excited about it and it's made the area super lit.
I was so excited to receive a flower box. Not only are they super pretty, AND REAL (!!) but they smell amazing and can last about a year. Like most women, I love flowers and I'm always sad when they die. This solves that problem lol. I added mine to the coffee table in my formal living room. The room smells amazing BTW.
Although I wore a gold, customized robe most of the weekend, I did wear this pretty blue ensemble on my birthday.
This Marble themed spa birthday party is looking amazing. Marble cake is one of my favourite, so going to book 2 tier marble cake for my big day at Seattle venues. Also, going to hire famous photographer, who can click amazing photos.


Many writers, including Malcolm Gladwell and Seth Godin, have postulated that certain people have a propensity to share content more frequently and with more people than the average. I was able to use respondents' answers to the reach and frequency questions for both individual and one-to-many sharing to study these types of users in more depth. I defined a "High Reach" sharer as a person who either shared content individually with 10 or more people on a regular basis or reached more than 100 people when they share content in a one-to-many way. Using this definition, 74 people were high reach individual sharers, and 64 were high reach one-to-many sharers. "High Frequency" sharers are those that share in either individual or one-to-many ways more than once a day; this group accounted for just under 100 people.
32.4% (24 people out of 74) of high-reach individual sharers were also high-reach one-to-many sharers, 56.8% (42 out of 74) were also high-frequency individual sharers and 39.1% (29 out of 74) were also high-frequency individual sharers.
37.5% (24 out of 64) of high-reach one-to-many sharers were also high-reach individual sharers, 39.1% (25 out of 64) were also high-frequency individual sharers and 51.6% (33 out of 64) of them were also high-frequency one-to-many sharers.
42.4% (42 out of 99) of high-frequency individual sharers were also high-reach individual sharers; 25.3% (25 out of 99) were also high-reach one-to-many sharers, and 52.5% (52 out of 99) were also high-frequency one-to-many sharers.
29.6% (29 out of 98) of high-frequency one-to-many sharers were also high-reach individual sharers; 33.7% (33 out of 98) were also high-reach one-to-many sharers and 53.1% (52 out of 98) were also high-frequency individual sharers.
In the following data, I focused on areas where the high-reach or high-frequency sharers differed from the average respondent in order to identify ways in which a content creator can target these valuable users. The following graphs show the content sharing characteristics of these high reach and frequency individuals.
High frequency individual and one-to-many sharers tend to share content both individually and one-to-many with more people than the average. High frequency individual sharers share with more people individually than high-frequency one-to-many sharers, and, as expected, the reciprocal is true of high-frequency one-to-many sharing and their increased one-to-many reach. When sharing individually, high-frequency sharers tend to share content from every source tested more than the average respondent did, especially favoring blogs, social news sites and Twitter; when sharing one-to-many, they showed similar patterns. High-frequency sharers also demonstrate the same content type preferences as many of the high-engagement profiles I studied, reporting proclivities for news and opinion while sharing humor and fiction at the same or lower rates than the average in both individual and one-to-many contexts. High-frequency sharers share via instant messaging more often than the average, while sharing at the same or lower levels via Facebook and email.
Both high-reach individual and one-to-many sharers tend to share content with others more frequently, with high-reach individual sharers showing a much stronger disposition to more-than-once-a-day individual sharing than either the average or high-reach sharers of the one-to-many variety. High-reach sharers of both types share content from Twitter individually far more than the average; they also favor nearly every other source except email and Facebook. When sharing one-to-many, high-reach individuals share content from every source more than the average with almost the same difference for each source tested. In an interesting departure from previously seen patterns, high-reach individual sharers show the typical news, opinion and instructional content bias much less than their high-reach one-to-many sharing counterparts. When sharing individually, high-reach one-to-many sharers favor instructional content much more than both the average respondent and high-reach individual sharers, and when sharing one-to-many, they strongly favor news, opinion, instructional content and warnings.

IND v AUS 2020: Melbourne Cricket Ground Test records
Melbourne Cricket Ground will host the 2nd IND v AUS Test match
Vinay Chhabria
India have won three Test matches at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Australia starts as the favorite to win the upcoming Test after their dominating win at Adelaide.
The Indian cricket team suffered an 8-wicket loss in the historic pink-ball Test at Adelaide Oval which was the first of a four-Test series between them and hosts Australia. Unfortunately, India could not take advantage of their 53-run first-innings lead. The visitors will now head to Melbourne to battle Australia in the second Test.
India had won its previous Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. However, Australia start as the favorite to win the upcoming encounter. Besides India's capitulation in the last match, Virat Kohli's absence is also a significant reason as to why the odds favor the Aussies.
The Australian fast bowling attack destroyed the Indian batting lineup in the previous Test. Although the visitors will likely make wholesale changes to their playing XI, it is unlikely that they would replicate their past performance in Melbourne.

Tactical Positioning
We wrote at the end of September that we believed that the US-China trade issues might be 'gently de-fused' and that this should provide some upside to Asian stock markets. Following a meeting of trade delegates, a 'partial deal' seems to have been achieved, improving investor sentiment across the board. The whole issue of disruption in trade has led Central Banks to hit the easing 'button' this year with interest rates falling in the US and elsewhere. This, in turn, has triggered interest in gold which tends to have an inverse correlation with falling rates. Whilst gold has recovered this year to $1500, it is still 18% below the high of $1770 achieved in 2012. Interest rates look set to fall further as Central Banks aim to prevent a possible recession and this could push gold back to its highs. With this in mind, we have increased our existing gold exposure across portfolios.
At the beginning of October, equity markets declined after the release of poor manufacturing data in the US, before generally moving back into positive territory with the announcement of a partial trade deal between China and the US, as well as growing hopes of a possible Brexit deal between the UK and the European Union ("EU"). An impressive start to the US earnings season also helped lift markets higher. The UK was the worst performing developed equity market, largely hurt by a strengthening sterling, whilst emerging markets and Asia Pacific performed strongly, supported by a softening US dollar.
The likelihood of China and the US reaching an agreement prior to the planned increase in tariffs on 15 October initially appeared slim, especially considering the White House's decision to sanction another eight Chinese technology companies involved in China's surveillance of the Uighur minority group and rumours that US pension funds might be forced to limit their exposure to China. Relations between the two superpowers looked to take another turn for the worse when a tweet from the general manager of the Houston Rockets basketball team openly supporting protestors in Hong Kong led to the Chinese state broadcaster refusing to air any National Basketball Association ("NBA") games. Despite these obstacles, President Trump's meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He in Washington delivered a 'phase one' deal, whereby the US agreed to suspend its planned increase in tariffs and China agreed to implement reforms covering intellectual property laws, financial market openness and foreign exchange transparency. Although the deal drove global equity markets higher, there was an overwhelming feeling that some of the critical issues had simply been kicked down the road.
A summit between UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, and the Republic of Ireland Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, ended with a surprisingly optimistic joint statement that opened the door to a possible Brexit deal by 31s October. Sterling rallied sharply and UK gilt yields jumped on the back of the news. Markets were caught off-guard, as the probability of either side softening their position on the question of the Irish 'backstop' had looked increasingly remote, particularly following an abrasive phone call between Johnson and the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel. Not all details have been shared, but the plan includes Northern Ireland remaining legally part of the UK's customs union but part of the EU's customs union in practice, with rebates from the UK government available to Northern Irish businesses when duties are misaligned. At the time of writing, there remain several hurdles left to overcome before a draft Brexit deal can be reached, including Johnson convincing Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party to agree on a deal designed around some form of border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK, traditionally not something they would ever countenance.
Elsewhere, the World Trade Organisation ruled that the EU handed over excessive subsidies to Airbus and the Trump administration swiftly introduced tariffs covering goods worth $7.5 billion on EU goods, including duties of 10% on aircraft and 25% on products such as cheese, wine and whisky. At home, facing the prospect of the fourth presidential impeachment inquiry in US history, President Trump made it clear in a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi that he had no intention of providing documents to the House of Representatives or allowing his staff to testify at any future hearing. His foreign policy proved to be equally contentious, with the President suddenly announcing the withdrawal of US troops from Syria, providing President Erdogan the pretext to send the Turkish army into Syria and overrun Kurdish positions. In response, the US sanctioned the Turkish ministers of defence, interior and energy, raised steel tariffs back to 50% and stopped negotiations on a potential $100 billion trade agreement.
Oil prices declined amidst growing fears about slowing global economic growth as well as a surprise build-up of US crude inventories.
On balance, economic data released in the US was disappointing. A dreadful Institute of Supply Managers (''ISM'') Manufacturing Index set the tone, coming in at 47.8 against 50.0 expected, the lowest figure since the Global Financial Crisis in 2009. This reading fell below even the most bearish economist's estimate on Bloomberg and, in the fine print, only three out of the eighteen featured industries reported growth. Most concerningly, it suggests a synchronised slowdown in global manufacturing following a continued period of negative readings in Europe and China. The picture was not improved by a weaker than expected ISM Non-Manufacturing Index, which came in at 52.6 against 55.0 expected. Notwithstanding, despite payroll figures falling short of expectations, by some 9,000, we note that the previous two months were revised upwards by a combined total of 45,000 and the overall unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low of 3.5%. The Federal Reserve ("Fed") reacted to last month's heightened volatility in the rate charged for intrabank loans (the repo rate), by initiating a new $60 billion monthly programme of Treasury Bill purchases. Jerome Powell, Chair of the Fed, stressed that this move was a technical adjustment and not a disguised round of quantitative easing as some observers have cautioned.
This side of the Atlantic, most final European Purchasing Manufacturers Indices ("PMI") were revised down. The focus was on Germany, where its Services PMI fell from 52.5 to 51.4, taking the composite PMI to 48.5, the first time Germany has had the lowest print out of the largest four European economies since the turn of the century. The UK was not immune to disappointment with industrial production decreasing by 1.8% year-on-year, the largest contraction since August 2013. Turning to Southern Europe, Greece issued €487.5 million of three-month debt at a yield of negative 0.02% – the country seems to have made great strides since it almost defaulted on its sovereign debt at the start of this decade.

Gösta Berlings Saga is een roman van de Zweedse schrijfster Selma Lagerlöf. Het boek werd voor het eerst uitgegeven in 1891 door Albert Bonniers Förlag in Stockholm. Het boek werd in het Nederlands vertaald als Gösta Berling.

Achtergrond
In de zomer van 1890 bood een Zweeds tijdschrift, de Idun, een prijs voor de beste roman van een zekere lengte. Lagerlöf deed mee met de wedstrijd met een paar hoofdstukken van Gösta Berling, een verhaal dat toen in haar gedachten vorm begon aan te nemen, en won daarmee de prijs. In Gösta Berling is Lagerlöf een romantica; het boek is een reactie op het realisme, dat op dat moment de overhand had. Als kind had ze de volksverhalen van haar omgeving in zich opgenomen, en later besloot ze dat het haar missie was uitdrukking te geven aan deze verhalen. Gösta Berling wordt het epos in proza van het Zweedse plattelandsleven genoemd.

Bewerkingen

 In 1924 werd het boek verfilmd met in de hoofdrol de toen nog onbekende Greta Garbo, en de populaire acteurs Lars Hanson en Gerda Lundequist.
 In 1925 voltooide de componist Riccardo Zandonai zijn opera I cavalieri di Ekebù, die op het boek gebaseerd is.
 In 2004 werd in Zweden een progressieverockgroep gevormd met de naam Gösta Berlings Saga.

Islanders vs Rangers Rescheduled For March 17
New York Rangers v New York Islanders / Bruce Bennett/GettyImages
As we all know, the New York Islanders were struck hard by COVID. They had close to double-digit guys out with the virus and as a result, the league finally stepped up and canceled two games. The two games that were postponed were on the road against the Rangers on November 28 and on the road in Philadelphia on November 30.
Luckily, both teams are in close proximity and would be able to be made up rather easily. Today, we learned that the game against the Rangers will be made up on March 17.
#Isles #NYR game that was postponed rescheduled for March 17. ☘
— Brian Compton (@BComptonNHL) December 7, 2021
Well, this should be interesting. For those that don't know, St. Patrick's Day is on March 17 so the city is going to be absolutely packed, making a train ride in to see the game for the fans from Long Island, nearly impossible.
Yes, I'm glad that they were able to find a date to make this one up rather quickly but it's likely going to be pretty chaotic in Manhattan that day. If you want some laughs just read the replies to the tweet, some are NSFW so I won't be sharing them here but it gives a pretty good idea of what my initial reaction to the news was as well.
I will be watching this one from the comfort of my own home with my Irish adult beverage by my side. A trip into Penn Station on St. Patrick's Day sounds like torture.
Hopefully, by then the losing streak will be over. If not, well that would mean that the Isles would've dropped 48 in a row. Hot take but I don't think it gets that far.


Given its abundant resources and huge consumer market, Africa should be taking full advantage of the benefits of regional and global trade. However, African countries are faced with innumerable challenges that suppress their trade potential – not least of which is the fact that the majority of women on the continent do not enjoy the same economic status and opportunities as men, which leaves them economically marginalised and adrift from policymaking processes.
These problems were the focus of a workshop held in Johannesburg in December 2016 and co-hosted by the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) and the University of Adelaide's Institute for International Trade (IIT) in Australia. With the theme 'Harnessing Gender for Inclusive Trade', the workshop provided a platform for trade officials, development specialists, academics and gender activists from several countries to explore why Africa is well behind many other regions in achieving gender equity, how this has impacted countries' performance, and what steps should be taken to reverse this worrying trend. Female cross-border traders as well as agricultural and garment factory workers were singled out as being particularly vulnerable to bias, harassment and abuse.
Prof Wilma Viviers and Ms Ali Parry represented TRADE at the workshop, with Ali (a panellist in one of the sessions) speaking about the crucial role played by agriculture in Africa but how a combination of policy failings, poor education and training opportunities, and entrenched biases has made it difficult for women to take advantage of sustainable business opportunities provided by agricultural value chains.

There's something relaxing about being able to people watch while perched high above in a charming, intimate setting. Of course it also helps that there's more than 140 wines available by the glass, bottle and ounce. Performers entertain on a nearby stage that is close enough to see and hear, but far enough away so the sound isn't overbearing. The restaurant is open for lunch, dinner and brunch on the weekends. If you go for dinner, time your meal so you're there at sunset for the best view and so the sun isn't blinding you as it sets. The menu includes small plates, cheese and charcuterie, family style plates and desserts. All you Dole whip fans, you'll definitely want to order the Frozcato mimosa made with Dole whip pineapple. It's only on the brunch menu, but you can get it anytime. Just ask!

L'institut Jules Bordet est un établissement hospitalier de Bruxelles qui fait partie depuis 1998 de l'Interhospitalière Régionale des Institutions de Soins (IRIS), coupole des hôpitaux de la région de Bruxelles-Capitale. L'institut est un hôpital aigu, mono-spécialisé, comprenant 160 lits chirurgicaux-médicaux dont 80 lits universitaires, situé Porte de Hal à Bruxelles, à proximité du CHU Saint-Pierre. Il est entièrement consacré à la prévention, au traitement et à la recherche dans le domaine de la cancérologie.

Historique

Prélude
En 1822, le Conseil Général des Hospices et Secours de Bruxelles entreprit la construction du Grand Hospice de la rue du Canal avec un pavillon spécial pour les cancéreux.
À la fin du , l'ULB et la Commission d'Assistance Publique (CAP, devenue CPAS depuis) de la Ville de Bruxelles, unissent leurs efforts dans ce domaine.

En 1925, un Centre des Tumeurs est bâti sur le site de l'hôpital Brugmann, sous l'impulsion du .

Le , les deux instances décident de la construction d'un centre oncologique spécialisé, sur le site de l'hôpital Saint-Pierre: l'Institut Jules Bordet, du nom du médecin belge prix Nobel de physiologie ou médecine de 1919. Les architectes Stanislas Jasinski et Gaston Brunfaut dirigeront sa construction jusqu'en 1939. L'institut est inauguré le  par le Roi . Il sera occupé par l'armée allemande en 1940 et par l'armée anglaise après la libération de Bruxelles en septembre 1944.

Centre anticancéreux
En 1948, le Centre des Tumeurs rejoint l'Institut et y développe essentiellement la radiothérapie. En 1950, le  (prix Nobel de physiologie ou médecine en 1974) y crée d'autres services cliniques et de recherche. Après l'introduction de la chimiothérapie en 1949, Albert Claude et le  mettent en place en 1953 le service de Médecine Interne, en 1954 un Service de Chirurgie et en 1956 un service d'anatomie pathologique à l'initiative du , tous inspirés par le  de New York. En deux décennies, ils développent un centre anticancéreux de renommée mondiale. En 1964, sous l'impulsion de Henri Tagnon, l'Organisation européenne pour la recherche et le traitement du cancer est créé. En 1969, Claude y crée le premier Conseil Médical dans un hôpital belge, tandis que  et  fondent l' Les Amis de l'Institut Bordet afin de récolter des fonds privés pour la recherche. Plusieurs médecins renommées sont affiliés de l'institut comme Martine Piccart, Dominique Bron,...

Expansion
 En 1970, l'ULB permet la construction d'un bâtiment pour abriter les laboratoires de recherche.
 En 1977, la Polyclinique A. Claude et l'Hôpital de Jour pour les traitements chimiothérapiques ambulants sont créés.
 En 1999, avec l'aide de la Région bruxelloise, une nouvelle unité de traitement par curiethérapie et haute dose de radio-isotopes est construite.
Malgré de nombreuses rénovations et acquisitions de matériel de pointe, rendues possibles notamment grâce aux apports des Amis de l'Institut Bordet, la localisation de l'Institut en plein centre ville rend sa modernisation de plus en plus problématique. Sa reconstruction sur le campus d'Anderlecht de l'ULB, à côté de l'hôpital académique Erasme et de la Faculté de Médecine, est envisagée dans les années 2000.

Reconstruction
Le projet définitif de reconstruction est approuvé en 2011. Il constitue une extension de 30.000 à 80.000 m² et une croissance de 160 à 250 lits. La première pierre posée en . Le nouveau site a ouvert ses portes en .

Regroupement
Le , un regroupement (au sens de la loi belge sur les hôpitaux) avec l'hôpital Erasme est annoncé par les autorités de la Ville de Bruxelles et de l'ULB, visant à terme le rapprochement dans une organisation unique.

Vodka eyeballing is the practice of consuming vodkas by pouring it into the eye sockets, where it is absorbed through the mucous membranes of the region into the bloodstream. Reports of this practice as a new fad surfaced in the media beginning in 2010, as hundreds of clips of persons purporting to engage in the practice were posted on YouTube. The practice is promoted by advocates as causing rapid intoxication; which is untrue, since the amount of alcohol absorbed by the eye is low.

Some observers maintained that the phenomenon was not a real craze, describing the coverage as a media feeding frenzy and part of "a long history of trend pieces that come out of nowhere". The initial press coverage in British tabloid The Daily Mail was criticized for basing its entire story on an injury from a single student stunt, and extrapolating this into a "trend" after a YouTube search showed hundreds of similar videos. Journalist Michael Strangelove said that the videos, which date back to 2006, seemed genuine and should not be dismissed as a deceptive "prank" against the media.

The 2000 comedy film Kevin & Perry Go Large includes a character called Eyeball Paul who engages in the practice.

The practice formed part of the fictional plot of the February 6, 2013 episode of the Canadian TV series Trauma, leading to a young woman receiving (successful) cornea transplants.

Adverse effects
Vodka eyeballing can cause corneal abrasions and scarring, promote angiogenesis in the eye (and thereby cause loss of vision), and increase the risk for eye infections, and has been condemned by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

The Danish designer Mads Odgård (1960-), is a leading figure in a new generation of international designers. He is a minimalist and a 'less is more' man, who would rather deduct than add. More than anything, he believes that excellent design must be logical and functional if it is to endure. With an educational background from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Denmarks Designschool and Art Center Europe, Switzerland, Mads Odgård is one of Denmark's most sought-after designers.
Since 1988, The Mads Odgård Design Studio, has focused on product design with the mission to improve that which already exists and most importantly, give the user spontaneous delight. Design can be successful only when the balance of all these factors is attained and comfort, technology, ergonomics, ecology, economics, aesthetics exists.
The introduction of the Above pendant marks the beginning of a new collaboration between Louis Poulsen and the Danish designer Mads Odgård. Above presents a very simple and graphic form in triangle, supplemented by an arch including the wire. The care given to the upper part – which gives its name to the lamp – adds a touch of sophistication to this light of a great simplicity. The light is essentially directed downward, but also upward to a lesser degree. The Above pendant is available in 4 sizes and 2 colours, black and white.
Dimensions Ø175xH210mm, Ø250xH300mm, Ø400xH480mm, Ø550xH660mm. 3m black textile cord.
Finish black or white matt paint.
Material Painted spun aluminium. Textile cord.


The term Imago is Latin for "image,"and refers to the "unconscious image of familiar love." Simply put, there is often a connection between the frustrations experienced in adult relationships and early childhood experiences. For example: If you frequently felt criticized as a child, you will likely be sensitive to any criticism from, and feel criticized often by your partner. Likewise, if you felt abandoned, smothered, neglected, etc., these feelings will come up in your marriage/committed relationships.
Most people face only a few of these "core issues," but they typically arise again and again within partnerships. This can overshadow all that is good in the relationship, leaving people to wonder if they have chosen the right mate. So here is the good news: When you can understand each other's feelings and "childhood wounds" more empathically, you can begin to heal yourself and your relationship, and move toward a more conscious relationship.
Imago Relationships International can help you do this by teaching the "Imago Dialogue" process, and helping you move from blame and reactivity to understanding and empathy. With this process,you can transform conflicts into opportunities for healing and growth, and connect more deeply and lovingly with your intimate partner.

Facebook: FarmVille is bigger than Twitter
By Marc Chacksfield published 2 December 09
Big numbers revealed, as the site hits 350 million users
Facebook brings out the big numbers
Facebook has released some startling figures today, which underlines just how big the site has become.
Speaking to journalists at the UK headquarters, with TechRadar in attendance, Facebook revealed just how many people log on each day and the stats are pretty mind-blowing. The company also noted that one of its apps, 'Farmville', is more popular than its major rival in the social-networking world – Twitter.
Here come the numbers: worldwide Facebook is clocking up 200 billion page views a month, with 350 million users globally logging into the site.
When it comes to the site's online chat function, 1.6 billion messages are sent every single day and 2.5 billion photos uploaded a month (around a thousand a second).
Facebook is also now hitting 23 million unique users a month in the UK, with each of those people logging on spending around 25 minutes on the website a day.
With so many users, Facebook is keen to push itself beyond that of a place that you come to see what your friends are up to.
Part of the movement
In a video, founder Mark Zuckerberg called Facebook "a movement not a website" and noted that now is "a magical time for the company, as we are way closer to the beginning than the end."
This was re-iterated by Facebook's Head of Strategy and Planning, Trevor Johnson, who told TechRadar: "The Facebook experience for every individual is different. We have changed the site a lot, and we hope users keep up with these things.
"The site's now made up of many elements – apps, homepage, games, groups."
To prove the popularity of these extra-curricular sections of Facebook, Johnson explained: "Applications make up a huge part of Facebook. There are over 90,000 applications on Facebook.
"69 million active users are using FarmVille alone, that's more users than Twitter."
Interestingly, Facebook noted that its demographic is getting older, with the 35+ category growing the fastest and 53 per cent of all those who log on in a month come back on a daily basis.
"Facebook is not just about adding photos and gaining friends, it's integrated in lives," notes Johnson.
Twitter may well be the website of the moment, but one glance at these figures show that it's still got a long way to go if it wants to truly dominate in this social-networked world.

Les alquenones presents en l'ambient marí són emprades com a biomarcadors per tal d'obtenir, mitjançant la seva concentració, informació sobre la temperatura superficial de l'aigua en el moment en què va viure l'organisme que la va sintetitzar. Això és degut al fet que els cocolitofòrids sintetitzen un tipus d'alquenona o un altre depenent de la temperatura del medi en què viu. La relació entre les diferents alquenones i la temperatura superficial de l'aigua ve donada per:

Moscow continues to bring video surveillance security to the next level, through a partnership that brings artificial intelligence technology in ways that will make facial recognition more accurate and more intuitive. Moscow's Department of Information Technologies has recently finished deploying a city-wide, 160,000-camera video surveillance system that integrates facial recognition technology from NtechLab. Yet only a portion of those is currently active, due to the cost of implementing the technology.
Officials say, according to tech.co, that the system covers 95 percent of the entrances to both commercial buildings and apartment buildings throughout the city. "To date, there is no other security system in the world that has implemented facial recognition at this scale," says Artem Ermolaev, chief information officer for the department. The idea is to leverage artificial intelligence algorithms in facial recognition technology to ultimately make CCTV surveillance more usable.
"The term 'face recognition' might include a number of disjointed tasks, such as detecting human faces in an image or video stream, gender recognition, age estimation, and identifying one person across multiple images and verifying that the two images belong to the same person,' explains Natalya Frolova from NTechLab. The partnership with the city of Moscow is based on the artificial neural network that allows for deep learning.
Officials with the Moscow project say their new facial recognition CCTV has already led to six arrests, even with the limited number of cameras currently in full operational mode.
Aside from crime and terrorism-fighting, there's another valuable benefit to the city. "The city can now monitor the work of our maintenance contractors," Ermolaev explains. "We can track, through the system, if waste is removed at the right time, if the roads are clean and in good order, etc." He adds that Moscow traffic police issue 50,000 traffic fines automatically every day through the use of video analytics, making traffic safer and raising awareness of the need for traffic law compliance.
As CCTV usage expands, privacy advocates often decry this constant surveillance, even though it's been shown to definitely aid in criminal investigations. The Moscow project is well aware of the potential for abuse and for citizen concern, and takes residents' privacy into account through a multi-level layer of access.
For example, law enforcement authorities can only use the system in accordance with existing investigative police departments. Other officials can only access data over which they have responsibility. This kind of multi-layered control is in place to ensure that the data is not abused or used indiscriminately.

The aim of the synthetic jets is to excite the mixing layer in the ejector and intensify the mixing process. The cavities of the synthetic jet actuators are hidden in the mixing chamber wall and the synthetic jets are perpendicular to the ejector axis. CTA and pneumatic measuring method were used to investigate the influences of synthetic jets on flow inside the ejector.

The Democrats' disconnect
By The Washington Post | and Charles Krauthammer | |
PUBLISHED: April 12, 2007 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 1, 2017 at 9:37 a.m.
By the day, the debate at home about Iraq becomes increasingly disconnected from the realities of the actual war on the ground. The Democrats in Congress are so consumed with negotiating among their factions the most clever linguistic device to legislatively ensure the failure of the administration's current military strategy – while not appearing to do so – that they speak almost not at all about the first visible results of that strategy.
And preliminary results are visible. The landscape is shifting in the two fronts of the current troop surge: Anbar province and Baghdad.
The news from Anbar is the most promising. Only last fall, the Marines' leading intelligence officer there concluded that the U.S. had essentially lost the fight to al-Qaeda. Yet, just this week, the marine commandant, Gen. James Conway, returned from a four-day visit to the province and reported that we "have turned the corner."
Why? Because, as Lt. Col. David Kilcullen, the Australian counterinsurgency adviser to Gen. David Petraeus, has written, 14 of the 18 tribal leaders in Anbar have turned against al-Qaeda. As a result, thousands of Sunni recruits are turning up at police stations where none could be seen before. For the first time, former insurgent strongholds such as Ramadi have a Sunni police force fighting essentially on our side.
Retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey, a major critic of the Bush war policy, now reports that in Anbar, al-Qaeda is facing "a real and growing groundswell of Sunni tribal opposition." And that "this is a crucial struggle and it is going our way – for now."
The situation in Baghdad is more mixed. Thursday's bridge and Green Zone attacks show the insurgents' ability to bomb sensitive sites. On the other hand, pacification is proceeding. "Nowhere is safe for Westerners to linger," reported ABC's Terry McCarthy on April 3, "but over the past week we visited five different neighborhoods where the locals told us life is slowly coming back to normal." He reported from Jadriyah, Karrada, Zayouna, Zawra Park and the notorious Haifa Street, previously known as "sniper alley." He found that "children have come out to play again. Shoppers are back in markets," and concluded that "nobody knows if this small safe zone will expand or get swallowed up again by violence. For the time being, though, people here are happy to enjoy a life that looks almost normal."
Fouad Ajami, just returned from his seventh trip to Iraq, is similarly guardedly optimistic and explains the change this way: Fundamentally, the Sunnis have lost the battle of Baghdad. They initiated it with their indiscriminate terror campaign that they assumed would cow the Shiites, whom they view with contempt as congenitally quiescent, lower-class former subjects. They learned otherwise after the Samarra bombing (February 2006) kindled Shiite fury – a savage militia campaign of kidnapping, indiscriminate murder and ethnic cleansing that has made Baghdad a largely Shiite city.
Petraeus is trying now to complete the defeat of the Sunni insurgents in Baghdad – without the barbarism of the Shiite militias, whom his forces are simultaneously pursuing and suppressing.
How at this point – with only about half of the additional surge troops yet deployed – can Democrats be trying to force the U.S. to give up? The Democrats say they are carrying out their electoral mandate from the November election. But winning a single-vote Senate majority as a result of razor-thin victories in Montana and Virginia is hardly a landslide.
Second, if the electorate was sending an unconflicted message about withdrawal, how did the most uncompromising supporter of the war, Sen. Joe Lieberman, win handily in one of the most liberal states in the country?
And third, where was the mandate for withdrawal? Almost no Democratic candidates campaigned on that. They campaigned for changing the course the administration was on last November.
Which the president has done. He changed the civilian leadership at the Department of Defense, replaced the head of Central Command and, most critically, replaced the Iraq commander with Petraeus – unanimously approved by the Democratic Senate – to implement a new counterinsurgency strategy.
John McCain has had no illusions about the difficulty of this war.
Nor does he now. In his bold and courageous speech at the Virginia Military Institute defending the war effort, he described the improvements on the ground while acknowledging the enormous difficulties ahead. Insisting that success in Iraq is both possible and necessary, McCain made clear that he is willing to stake his presidential ambitions, indeed his entire political career, on a war policy that is unpopular but that he believes must be pursued for the sake of the country. How many other presidential candidates – beginning with, say, Hillary Clinton – do you think are acting in the same spirit?
