(sadly, these are blurry and awful because I was stupidly refusing to go over 5000 ISO so the depth of field is too shallow and the shutter speed is too slow)
Karlovy Vary (pronounced [ˈkarlovɪ ˈvarɪ] (help•info), German: Karlsbad, also known in English as Carlsbad) is a spa city situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, approximately 130 km (80.78 miles) west of Prague. It is named after King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River).
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, visited Karlsbad in 1917 and stayed there for the therapy of his illness. (acute bronchitis) It is said that he had stayed in Cardsbad Plaza, unfortunately the room he stayed in is closed to visit. Just four days per a year it's open to visit, but i really don't know which days :)

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk 1917'de akut bronşit tedavisi için geldiği Karlovy Vary'de 1 ay kalmış, denildiğine göre Carlsbad Plaza otelinde ikamet etmiş, (otelin kapısında Atatürk'ün burada konakladığına dair bir de tabela bulunuyor) Yazık ki kladığı oda senede yalnızca 4 gün ziyarete açıkmış.

WILL THE BILL GATES CLIMATE CHANGE STRATEGY WORK?
Bill Gates and a group of billionaires formed the Breakthrough Energy Coalition and pledged to spend billions on cleantech R&D in order to find the technological breakthroughs they say are needed to decarbonize the economy. There’s nothing wrong with R&D spending, but a number of critics argue that Gates’ money would be much better spent on funding and scaling existing renewable technology. In a recent report, Goldman Sachs concluded that the most effective midterm solution for lowering carbon emissions—and making money—is backing existing technologies that are ready to scale. In fact, the banks believe that the majority of investor dollars should go only to four technologies: solar photovoltaics, onshore wind, LED lighting, and electric cars. Who’s right?
