Figuring out what year this car was mystified me for a bit as I don't remember a 150 model and the rear trim looked more like a '56 than that of the '57's I remember and the three slashes/indentions by the headlight are missing. I thought it might be a '56 with a '57 front. With a little research, I found some 150's that seem to have solved the mystery.

Virginia’s victory good for Democrats but also shows Trump’s redistricting battle could be all for nothing

Democrats within reach of House majority after voters rebel against Republican gerrymandering

Months into his second term, Donald Trump wagered that he could beat the historic trend of the party in power losing seats in midterm elections if Republican-led states redrew congressional maps to sweep Democrats out of office.

The gamble is looking to be a bust, or at best a draw, for the president, after Democrats fought back with their own redistricting efforts, the latest of which came to fruition in Virginia on Tuesday, when voters approved a plan that could remove all but one of the five Republicans in its current House of Representatives delegation.

Accumulations of up to 3cm deep reported as severe thunderstorms also bring heavy downpours to central Italy

Severe thunderstorms have affected the Mediterranean this week. On Monday, a surface low-pressure system in the Mediterranean in conjunction with an upper air cut-off low, led to thunderstorms over north Africa. Their intensity was aided by the hot precursor conditions.

Algeria and Tunisia were notably affected by the thunderstorms, with some hail accumulation layers as a result. When so much hail forms, it starts to lay down sheets of hail, covering the ground like snow. Hail accumulations of up to 3cm were reported in Oum Ladjoul and Hammam Sokhna in Algeria, and there were hailstones of up to 3cm in diameter in Makthar, Tunisia. Thunderstorms continued in the region through the following day, with further hail accumulations, notably in Ouled Bousmir, Tunisia, where there was a layer about 2cm deep.
