The History of Goebel Figurines

December 21, 2009 by · 8 Comments 

Like so many innovative and lucrative ideas the M. I. Hummel line of Goebel figurines started off simply with one person’s passion. Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, a Franciscan Sister, was also a gifted artist. She loved making drawings of country children. She eventually had the drawings printed as art cards. Goebel, a porcelain manufacturer in Germany took note of the art cards in the 1930s. The world was in political turmoil and Franz Goebel felt lovers of porcelain works would respond to Sister Hummel’s innocent theme. Sister Hummel worked hand in hand with Goeble overseeing her artwork as each artistic endeavor was turned into beautiful porcelain figurines. She would personally approve each and every porcelain piece. The Hummel line of Goebel figurines were an immediate success in Europe. It didn’t take long for these pieces to attract the attention of American soldiers stationed in Germany.

First established in 1871, Goebel started out by making children’s marbles and slate pencils. Even though the owners’ vision always included porcelain figurines, they lacked the money to produce them. Eight years later, the owners fired up their first kilns and produced dinnerware and Goebel figurines. But it was the Hummel figurines that changed Goebel history and helped make them the huge company they became.

Unfortunately Sister Hummel met an early death due to tuberculosis in 1937 at the age of 46. She was a prolific artist and had created art cards that Goebel continued to use. The company worked with an Artistic Board at the convent where Sister Hummel lived to ensure that her vision continued to flourish through their Hummel line of Goebel figurines.

If you’re lucky you can still find some of these amazing Goebel figurines at auctions and yard sales. Check the bottom as there are definitive identification marks. Most figurines will include Sister Hummel’s signature and a Goebel trademark. Some also include a mold number.

Comic Books For Sale: A Part Of History

November 6, 2009 by · 8 Comments 

It may not seem like it, but comic books are a huge part of the history of many nations. You can go to any country in the world and find comic books for sale. Such as the U.S., which has been the largest comic book producer in the world since it produced its first comic book in 1934.

Comics go much farther back than 1934 in the form of comic strips commonly seen in the newspaper. But, if you’ve ever read a comic book or comic strip you’re probably wondering why the word “comic” is in the title. The reason is, when comic strips first came out, their main focus was humor, so naturally the first comic books were focused on humor. But in today’s modern comic books, humor isn’t the focal point.

There are many other genres of comic books, as seen in Japan and Europe. However in America, the superhero genre leaves the others in the dust. But what makes comic books so popular? Well generally, it’s the thrilling adventures of superheroes like Superman, Spiderman and Batman, which are known as some of the best comic books around. However, a big factor behind the popularity of comic books in today’s world is rare comic books.

If you could take a survey of all the comic book collectors in the world on what type of comics they collected, the most common answer you would hear would be the rare ones. Whether we collect them or not it’s always fun to have something rare in our possession.

But despite all the exciting things we hear about comic books, they have definitely had their share of ups and downs, which is how the Gold, Silver, and Bronze ages of comic books were created. Each one of these ages has brought something new and unique to comic books which has revolutionized comics into the marvelous books they are today.

Unbiased Garmin 775T Auto GPS Review

October 7, 2009 by · 7 Comments 

Benefit from a new view of direction-finding with the Garmin Nuvi 775T. It is Garmin’s newest trans-Atlantic portable navigator as well as their high-end model. This state-of-the-art Garmin 775T Features detailed trans-Atlantic street maps, Lane Assist, 3D City View and landmarks, traffic alerts, GPS HotFix technology and photo navigation. With stereo Bluetooth and improved phonebook and MP3 support, you can make and accept hands-free phone calls via the sat-nav screen and listen to navigation, calls and MP3s broadcast through your car stereo.

Never feel lost again on multi-lane junctions and motorway with Lane Assist as it leads you to the right lane while you drive. As you tour round major cities in Europe or North America, a 3D view of crucial buildings and landmarks adds to the realism of the map-reading experience. The Garmin 775T has an integrated FM TMC traffic receiver to help you manoeuver clear of jams, accidents and road works on your course. The 4.3 inch touch display unit also includes text-to-speech, hence you will be informed “drive one-half mile, then turn left on Valley Street,” rather than “drive one-half mile, then turn left.”

Inclusive of all the equivalent functions and features as the Garmin 765T, the Garmin 775T achieves an advantage with additional trans-Atlantic maps of Europe on top of existing U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico maps. The Garmin 775T is priced higher than the Garmin 765T and of course, their disparity do not just lie with the Europe maps but also the voice prompts feature which only the Garmin 775T have. The Garmin 775T also features new software in it compared with the 765T like the software for language translation and additional travel guides. The Garmin 775T is definitely worthy buy.

Car Rentals Agency To Rely Upon

September 24, 2009 by · 9 Comments 

The Number of car rental firms I get mailing me is huge! I get around 10 emails per day from Car Rental firms promoting their latest special offers and discounted vehicle rental prices in Europe and America.  Until recently I’ve always doubted if I’m actually getting the best deal out of the hundreds of companies pushing car rentals on the internet… yet everythime I book a flight, or order a hotel somewhere it seems the travel agency or hotel etc ask me about my car rental needs !!!

Are you sure know if the price they are being offered is a competitive price?  yes there are deals out there in the car rental market nowadays but with such a huge choice its got to the stage that it just boggles the mind.

With price comparison sites jumping up all over the place it makes sense to check them out, they seem very good when it comes to insurance and buying a car, but not when it comes to rental it seems, however there are a few web sites out there whom seem to be able to grab all the data from the top 30 or so car rental companies around the world and sort through the results that they give you to provide the customer with the best choice of car rentals available on any specific day.  The system is integrated into special sites as I’ve seen it running in a few different websites Marbella Car Rentals is one.  (Ideal if you need to pick up a rental car from Malaga for instance and drive down the sunny coast of the Costa Del Sol|This site specialises in providing car rentals for collection at Malaga Airport Spain|An ideal website for private apartments and car rentals in Andalucia|Perfect for travelling around the Costa Del Sol}.  Also the sister web site for renting a car in Nerja has the same facility.

I’ve heard that the property rental group Rentin.TV is including this car rental portal in every niche property rental site they have through their whole network… so the day might be just around the corner where we only have to think of one name “Rent In” when we need to find a guaranteed low price for car rental wherever we are in the world !!

Robert Burns In The US House Of Representatives

August 22, 2009 by · 7 Comments 

Scots Poet Robert Burns may have been dead for a couple of hundred years but that did not stop him earlier this year from making an impressive impact on the House of Representatives. In fact the impact caused them to pass a Resolution to confirm the link between the work of Robert Burns and the USA.

Congressman Mike McIntyre of North Carolina proposed and steered the resolution through the House of Representatives in February 2009. North Carolina is of course the US State where thousands of early Scottish settlers put down their roots and now boosts more people who pride themselves in their Scottish ancestry than there are Scots living in the whole of Scotland.

The Resolution also recognised that Robert Burns had truly inspired the Founding Fathers of America writing inspirational poems such as “Ode for General Washington’s Birthday” and “Ballard on the American War”.

“Scots Wha Hae”

One of Robert Burns most famous songs Scots Wha Hae has long been recognised as the unofficial Battle Cry for Scotland’s own independence from foreign rule was actually inspired by the American struggle for Independence from the same ruling country.

At the back of Robert Burns mind was his strong belief that the United States victory in achieving independence would trigger off a monster size wave of independence war happening right across Europe.

President Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was one of many Americans who took part in Burns Night celebrations. Shortly before his election he not only attended but gave the famous immortal speech to remind every person there exactly why they are meeting to celebrate the birth and life of Robert Burns who was an inspiration to so many around the world. It was reported that Lincoln was so moved enough by Robert Burns life and his poetry he tried with mixed success to give the address in an America version of the Scots Tongue (not and easy task for anyone to do even us born and living in Scotland would have to practice this).

The FIRST Clinical Research Organisation to conduct a Phase I trial in healthy young people aged 14-17!

Richmond Pharmacology is a clinical research organisation that conducts Phase 1 clinical trials for healthy and patient volunteers and became the 1st  CRO in Europe to be ethically approved for a volunteer trial in females aged fourteen to seventeen.

Richmond Pharmacology also provides Clinical Data Management Services for clinical trials

This landmark decision by Great Ormond Street Ethics Committee to allow this study to be conducted paves the way for future studies of this age group.

A great achievement for Richmond Pharmacology was the recruitment of the first healthy young volunteers just sixteen days after gaining ethics approval on 28 Feb 2009.

The study being conducted by Richmond Pharmacology aims to determine the effect a study drug, (a new oral contraceptive pill), has on the body and if there is a difference in what happens to the drug in females aged 18-50 compared to females aged 14-17.

The clinical trial itself is typical of many Phase I trials of these compounds, however it is the population being included that makes this a key study.

The UK has been known to conduct top class clinical trials and studies for all phases   Recently some of these trials have been conducted outside of the UK However the approval of this study marks a substantial shift in thinking and attitude towards clinical trial conduct in the UK and Richmond Pharmacology are proud to be at the centre of this pioneering move to once again make the UK THE place to conduct more specialised clinical trials

In addition to providing high quality full service clinical studies, Richmond Pharmacology now has the proven ability to conduct a wide variety of studies complicated in their design and population required.

Richmond Pharmacology’s founding Directors are still at the heart of the company. Their hands on approach coupled with a dedicated and highly skilled staff ensure we are able to meet the challenges set by sponsors.
