.- Weiss Auctions first Toy & Train event for 2021, held online-only on February 24th, exceeded all expectations, especially in the exploding toy trains category, as 96 percent of all 500 lots found new owners in a sale that grossed around $200,000. It has inspired Philip Weiss, the owner of Weiss Auctions, to plan up to eight more train sales during this year.
Were getting in huge collections and we want to promote a category thats obviously red hot right now, Weiss said. For the February sale, we had nearly 1,500 active bidders between our site, LiveAuctioneers.com and Proxibid.com. Were always looking for new consignments, and I feel confident more great collections will come our way this year.

Her daughter, Selima Chaffai, said the cause was COVID-19.
The Silences of the Palace, which Tlatli directed and co-wrote with Nouri Bouzid, is set in the mid-1960s but consists largely of flashbacks to a decade earlier, before Tunisia achieved independence from France.

Last year, Colombia awarded three areas to Canada-based companies Parex Resources and Canacol Energy despite a collapse in global oil demand and prices that forced other Latin American nations to suspend or postpone rounds.
Hoping to return to pre-pandemic oil demand and production levels next year, the National Hydrocarbon Agency (ANH) expects to award at least 15 of 32 conventional oil and gas areas selected in several basins through its Ronda Colombia 2021.
