Was it a Vanden Plas Princess (like the one parked nearby and that we all admired)?
It was more probably a Rover that father and you set out to buy that day.






 I've been in love with C1s since the age of 4 or 5, when I followed my father to buy a savanna beige Audi 100 LS, [also] from 1974

How certain words entered on waking up yesterday
[and my notebook with findings]
I'm saying something like:

De(t?) eller du håller bara på med fyra
Det är hundra tusen
Vad menas?
Är det ljusen?
Blir(?) det hundra tusen advent
innan vi kan se vad som verkligen hänt?

"attention is a form of love"

"...But we went over many a sequence, incident, chapter break, transition—then over and over them again. He seemed, sometimes, uncertain of his powers, even as he demonstrated them in the unflagging, keenly focused attention he gave to every detail. He wanted me to pay attention, too. Auden says that paying attention is a form of love; well, then, I tried to love Saul Bellow...."

"...Perhaps the most insightful review harvested by Hentoff came from the Cleveland Press: "Boys and girls may have to shield their parents from this book. Parents are very easily scared."
"...children's books whose expurgated vision has no relation to the way real children live. … The popularity of such books is proof of endless pussyfooting about the grim aspects of child life, pussyfooting that attempts to justify itself by reminding us that we must not frighten our children..."

Acts of the Apostles tells the story of how Stephen was tried by the Sanhedrin (high priests) for blasphemy against Moses and God (Acts 6:11) and speaking against the Temple and the Law (Acts 6:13-14) (see also Antinomianism). He was stoned to death (c. A.D. 34–35) by an infuriated mob encouraged by Saul of Tarsus, the future Saint Paul

JØA: Med sine 35 meter i lengde, åtte meter i bredde og ei vekt på 70 tonn, blir draken Harald Hårfagre det største vikingskipet som er bygd i moderne tid...Skipet skal bygges i eik på Vibrandsøy i Haugesund og får et segl på 300 kvadratmeter - levert av Seglloftet på Jøa... Ifølge sagaen anslås Ormen Lange å ha vært mellom 41 og 44 meter lang, med et mannskap på 574 mann. Draken Harald Hårfagre skal ha de samme kvalitetene som Ormen Lange. Det blir et drakeskip som kombinerer havskipets gode seilingsegenskaper med krigsskipetes bruk av årer... Forretningsmannen Sigurd Aase er oppdragsgiver for bygginga av draken Harald Hårfagre, som er fullfinansiert gjennom tre internasjonale selskaper som jobber med høyteknologi... Harald Hårfagre vil tilbringe storparten av tida på havet, og skal etter planen seile i de farvann vikingene seilte slike skip, det vil si fra Vinlandskysten til Svartehavet.

This highly sensitive camera can see starlight from far-off objects - light that has been "stretched" by the expanding Universe.
The camera is sensitive to infrared light, which has wavelengths about twice as long as visible light and cannot be detected by the human eye. It is described as "beyond red".
"We can now look even further back in time, identifying galaxies when the Universe was only 5% of its current age - within one billion years of the Big Bang."
"These new observations are likely to be the most sensitive images Hubble will ever take." The follow-up studies, he added, would be possible when Hubble's successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), was [sic] launched in 2014.
...employed a technique called gravitational lensing, which uses of the gravity of relatively nearby objects to magnify the light coming from much more distant objects.

The light from very distant objects appears redder

"var och en ansvarar inför hela världen"
"Our respect for other people, for other nations, and for other cultures, can only grow from a humble respect for the cosmic order and from an awareness that we are a part of it, that we share in it and that nothing of what we do is lost, but rather becomes part of the eternal memory of Being, where it is judged."  VÁCLAV HAVEL
