I borrowd my daughters cat for this weeks Looking Close on.. Friday's thema "cats in black and white".
Ik heb mijn dochter haar kat geleend voor het thema van deze week van Looking Close on... Friday.

To him, all problems have the shape of a nail and since he's got the big hammer, he thinks, he's the ideal guy to get peace deals. "Gimme de peace price - or else! Losers and low life forms anyway", he shouts. "Who do you think you are? I'll take you to court and have you for breakfast!", the over-aged toddler crows. "Don't mention Obama," says mum, "give him the Nobel Price and let him play in his corner." And the toddler smiles in his corner and hammers the peace to pieces. Leica M8, Elmar 4/135, at F16.

Der Breidenbacher Hof in Düsseldorf liegt zwischen der Königsallee und der Heinrich-Heine-Allee mit dem Hoteleingang auf der Theodor-Körner-Straße und grenzt direkt an die Altstadt. In unmittelbarer Nähe befinden sich die Deutsche Oper am Rhein, das Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus sowie die Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalens K 20.
Eine Übernachtung kostete Ende 2023 durchschnittlich 500 Euro, das günstigste Zimmer 350 Euro. Die Zimmergröße reichte von 41 qm bis zu Suiten von über 400 qm, die in der Spitze 14.000 Euro pro Nacht kosteten. Ab dem Sommer 2024 ist ein kompletter Umbau mit einer durchgreifenden Modernisierung des Interieurs vorgesehen, weg von Gold, Leder und Mahagoni.
Solche feinen Details sieht man heute nicht mehr an den Autos.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Killbear Provincial Park is a provincial park located on Georgian Bay in the Parry Sound District of Ontario, near the town of Nobel. Killbear combines sandy beaches typical of the Great Lakes with the rock ridges and pines of the Canadian Shield. The park boundaries lie within the Georgian Bay Littoral UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
A thank you for perseverance and the pursuit of peace, regardless of the circumstances.
Under a cold wind and with just enough time for work, my flag waves proudly from my exile in a land I love so much.

Un agradecimiento a la constancia y búsqueda de la paz sin importar las circunstancias.
Bajo un viento frío y con el tiempo justo para el trabajo ondea con fuerza mi bandera desde mi exilio en una tierra que quiero tanto.

Good morning, Herr Doktor, how are you?
My boy! isn't it marvelous? I've won the greatest prize of all!
You mean a Nobel prize?
Better! I've won the far rarer and more prestigious Ig Nobel prize!
Ig Nobel? Great! I guess. What did you win for?
For my revolutionary demonstration that the problem of illegally parked luxury cars can be solved by running them over with an armored tank!
Yeah, I remember that experiment. it was so. . . groundbreaking. Caused a bit of a stir in the neighborhood too.
Indeed!
I preferred your experiment for advising colonoscopy doctors how to minimize the chance that their patients will suddenly explode. That was. . . illuminating.
Yes, if somewhat messy. But never mind that! we must celebrate!
Sure! With champagne?
Actually, I thought we'd sweep up in the lab a bit.
You think it needs it?
Maybe a little.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
Il Centro Nobel per la pace è un museo che si trova a Oslo in Norvegia, presso la piazza del municipio Rådhusplassen
Storia
È stato aperto nel 2005 dal Re Harald V di Norvegia con una cerimonia alla quale hanno partecipato le famiglie reali di Norvegia. Era presente anche il premio Nobel per la pace Wangari Maathai. L'edificio accoglie circa 250 000 visitatori all'anno ed è uno dei luoghi più visitati della Norvegia. Il palazzo in passato ospitava l'ex Oslo Vestbanestasjon (stazione ferroviaria di Oslo Ovest). Risalente al 1872, l'ex edificio della stazione è stato progettato dall'architetto Georg Andreas Bull. È stato utilizzato come stazione ferroviaria fino al 1989. Si affaccia sul porto e si trova vicino al municipio di Oslo.
L'architetto David Adjaye è stato responsabile del rifacimento esterno dell'edificio.[4][5] Il Centro Nobel per la pace è finanziato dal Ministero della Cultura norvegese.
Al suo interno ci sono mostre ed esposizioni dedicate ai vincitori del Premio Nobel per la pace, oltre a sezioni dedicate alla storia di Alfred Nobel e degli altri premi Nobel.

Recently I uploaded a photo of Australia’s greatest cricket hero’s birthplace at Cootamundra. Back in 1932, a short nine minute featurette on how to play cricket was produced for cinemas and this is shown on this “Sign of Yesteryear” located outside the local picture theatre in Portland, NSW. These signs have all been faithfully recreated by professional sign writers and what a fantastic job they have done, and a Nobel idea for a town, on the down slide to bring tourists back.
Here is the link - go see Australia folks.
Frågade min dotter vad hon tänkte på när jag sa Nobel. Fred,svarade hon.
Tänk bild, sa jag.
Duva, sa hon.
Har ingen, sa jag.
Men en fjäder då, sa hon.
Vår gemensamma tolkning blev så här. Jag tänker också fred och Nobel i samma mening.
The 2017 Nobel Prize in physics went to the discovery of gravity waves. The existence of gravity waves was predicted by Albert Einstein, and it was confirmed by the two Light Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatories (LIGO) in Richland, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana. The Washington observatory is 15 minutes from our home. In the picture is a 2.5 mile tube, about a meter in diameter, and evacuated to an incredible vacuum. A laser beam fired down this and fired down a companion tube measure changes in the distance to mirrors at the ends of the tubes, changes of 1/1,000 the diameter of a proton. The changes in distance occur when gravity waves warp the space between the beam generator and the mirrors.

Nobel-class cruiser was a part of FPKF global replacement & renewal program, which consisted of numerous types of vehicles and ships, including vessels like Sakharov-class carriers and Gandhi-class frigates.
"Nobel"s role ought to be main artillery cruiser in the peacekeeping navy, providing cover for "Sakharov" carriers against heavy enemy capital ships and initially it was planned that the ratio of "Nobels" to "Sakharovs" would be 1:3.
"Nobel"s powerplant again was mostly the same as for the "Gandhi" frigates, but forced and with added protection. This level of unification between FPKF ships saved money on development and maintenance.
On Sakharov-class it resulted in a lack of trust and therefore poor speed characteristics, but on "Nobel" modified engines perfectly matched FPKF's requirements.
Main armament consisted of 3 triple long-range gun turrets, torpedo/missile launching tube at bottom and 2 nose-mounted heavy beam guns, for defense it featured 8 anti-spacecraft turrets.
If long-range and defensive turrets were in fact standard and were used on many types of ships, "Nobel"s main caliber - 2 beam guns became a source of problems on early production stage.
Idea of their usage was quite simple - destroying ships under 150 meters in a single shot. But usually at the time this type of weapon was present only on big capital ships like battleships and dreadnoughts, and installing not one, but two beam guns on a cruiser even in a bit miniaturized form wasn't a simple engineering task.
And so when first serial "Sakharovs" entered service, due to armament issues production of "Nobels" was further delayed, resulting in placing heavy weaponry on carriers and pushing them into more of carrier-cruiser role.
When "Nobels" was ready to enter full-scale production, initial FPKF request of production in 1:3 ratio decreased to 1:5 ratio, mostly because navy was facing lack of government funding, and therefore it was decided that in relatively peaceful galaxy at the period there was no need for large number of domestic artillery cruisers in peacekeeping forces.
Things changed when Insectoid wars started. Existing number of cruisers can't fulfill the defense of carriers and supply ships against hoards of insectoid vessels, and their specialization on long range combat, which used to be an advantage, has now turned into a big disadvantage considering relatively light armor and current naval tactics. current tactics.
"Nobels" were useful in large formations with Absolvent-class cruisers and other ships that could engage in close combat, while "Nobels" performed pinpoint strikes on damaged or significant enemy vessels.
Aerodynamic shape and atmospheric cruising flight capabilities also turned out to be an advantage - "Nobels" often ambush insectoid ships using their long-range armament and clouds as a cloak or just lured enemy fleets into atmosphere, where cruisers easily could outmaneuver insectoid monstrosities and put them under the fire of planetary defense guns.
After Insectoid wars Nobels faced mostly the same fate as Sakharovs - being sold to PMC's and local defense forces, where their long-range combat capabilities became useful again.
