#Kiel investiert in #Gaarden
Der öffentliche Raum im Stadtteil soll mit einem Konzept aus 200 teils schnell umsetzbaren, teils langfristigen Maßnahmen aufgewertet werden, darunter:
• Einbahnstraßen
• Bewohnerparkzonen
• Fahrradstraßen
• Fahrradstellplätzen
• Mobilitätsstation…

Neues Konzept für Kiel-Gaarden: Weniger Autos, mehr Platz für Fußgänger
Ein neues Mobilitätskonzept soll den Stadtteil Gaarden attraktiver machen. Der erste Schritt: Verkehrsberuhigung durch Superblocks. Insgesamt sind 200 Maßnahmen bis 2035 geplant. Das Vorhaben dient als Vorbild für andere Kieler Stadtteile.

So the new #Kreutz #comet #MAPS is *still* following the constant rapid rise in brightness it has shown since discovery: a dumb extrapolation - https://cobs.si/analysis/?comet=2688&from_date=2026-01-15 00:00&to_date=2026-04-30 00:00&observation_type=V&observation_type=C&plot_x_value=1&plot_y_value=1&fit_option=1&exclude_faint=on&exclude_issue=on&observer=&association=&country=&compare_values=compare - has it get 10,000-times brighter than the Sun at its extremely close perihelion which makes so sense at all, of course, physically.
"It must therefore be assumed that this increase in activity will level off significantly in the near future," writes https://fg-kometen.vdsastro.de/koj_2026/c2026a1/26a1eaus.htm: "More likely are parameters m m0=12.0 mag / n=4 (or even lower), which would still result in a (very short-term) maximum brightness of about –9 mag (but this would probably still be significantly too bright) – always assuming that the comet survives its perihelion passage unscathed."

Last week, Trump called for the culmination of a 45-year Republican dream
and did so in a way designed to do maximum damage to the GOP
— not to mention the country.
That dream is the utter destruction of the US safety net
and the unlimited expansion of the US military.
“The United States can’t take care of daycare,” Trump blustered during a speech to faith leaders on Wednesday.
“That has to be up to a state.
We’re fighting wars.

Helping in defense against attacks from Iran should be the maximum that Europe does, no involvement in any actions against Iran, on or above it's territory or anything like that. We need maximum resources for security on our own continent and for the war against Russia. It would be typical Trump to first destroy Iran and then ask Europe to clean up his mess...

Hours before Khamenei’s compound in Tehran was reduced to rubble last week,
an account under the username “magamyman” bet about $20,000 that the supreme leader would no longer be in power by the end of March.
Polymarket placed the odds at just 14 percent, netting “magamyman” a profit of more than $120,000.
Everyone knew that an attack might be in the works
—some American aircraft carriers had already been deployed to the Middle East weeks ago
—but the Iranian gove…
