Today’s Holiday:
Nobel Prize Ceremony
Nobel Prizes are awarded each year to people, regardless of nationality, deemed to have made the most significant practical efforts toward the well-being of the human race. In his will, the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) directed that the income from his estate be used to fund five annual prizes. The first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901; a sixth prize—in economics—was added in 1969.

The peace prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway. More…: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch
