Presenter: Patrick Knauer Biography: I'm a web entrepreneur with a passion for creative projects, people and presentation (yes, presentations). I haven't had the pleasure of public speaking in about three years and Ignite #6 lit the fire. I hope to bring a fresh, funny and perhaps motivational message while meeting new people and having a little fun. Description: You wouldn't think that the founding father of humanities award for Peace was actually better known in his time for blowing people to bits and pieces. But he was. Alfred Nobel's greatest gift to the world wasn't a historic philanthropic act. It was proof that we all have the power to change; to rewrite our own epitaphs at any time in our lives.

Rescued from Oblivion November 20, 2009 Interview with Professor Rosemarie Reed. Not long after the fall of the Soviet Union, Rosemarie Reed produced a radio show on Mikhail Gorbachev which caught the notice of an executive at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. He told me if I secured the rights to turn the show into a film, CPB would fund it, recalls Reed, an adjunct lecturer in bmccs English and Developmental Skills departments. Reed had spent several years in radio but never ventured into film. Undaunted, she traveled to Russia, where she enlisted the cooperation of the former Soviet leader and made Conversations with Gorbachev, a highly acclaimed 90-minute documentary that was aired over PBS. Over the next few years, she went on to make two more films about Russian history, moved to Berlin—and then her focus shifted. Women of Science I read a biography of Lise Meitner, an Austrian physicist who lived and worked in Germany during the time of Nazi rule, Reed says. She and Otto Hahn discovered nuclear fission, but few people have heard of her. With funding from the National Science Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Reed produced a documentary on Meitner for airing on PBS. She followed up with a film on Irène Joliot-Curie, who, with her husband, is credited with the discovery of artificial radioactivity. Like so many great women of science, Meitner and Joliot-Curie remain unsung heroes, says Reed. Irènes mother, Marie Curie, is widely known as a pioneer ...

Dr. Harry Murphy tells of his own travel experiences in Stockholm. He also tells how the Nobel Prize is awarded in Stockholm. A brief biography of Alfred Nobel.
The biography of Alfred Bernhard Nobel - the worlds most famous Swede, founder of the worlds most famous prize. Nobel, who invents dynamite and is dismayed at its use in war, compensates the world by bequeathing the Nobel Prize - to reward the best in science, literature and peace. The prizes reflect the passions of Nobel - a man who combines the penetrating mind of a true scientist and inventor with the ambitious dynamism of a great industrialist.

A comedic following of the life of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite... it's somewhat accurate. It was a great history project, and funny. Hot or not?
Alfred Nobel died in San Remo, Italy, on December 10, 1896. He was buried in Norra begravningsplatsen in Stockholm.
he received an honorary doctorate from Uppsala University in 1893.
Although he worked for the majority of his life developing explosives, Nobel was essentially a pacifist. When, in his later years he drew up a will, he stated that he wished the majority of his nine million dollar fortune to be used to fund awards in different fields of study (Physics, Chemistry, Literature, Physiology and Medicine, Peace). He stated that the awards should be given to ‘those who have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind’.
Nobel was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1884, the same institution that would later select laureates for two of the Nobel prizes
In the 1870s and 1880s, Nobel built up a network of factories all over Europe to manufacture explosives. That business made him rich.
In Sweden he concentrated on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive. He devoted himself to the study of explosives, and especially to the safe manufacture and use of nitroglycerine. A big explosion occurred on the 3rd September 1864 at their factory in Heleneborg in Stockholm, killing five people, among them Alfred's younger brother Emil.
In 1863, Alfred, returning to Sweden with his father after the bankruptcy of their family business.
When Alfred was 18, he went to the United States to study chemistry for four years and worked for a short period under John Ericsson.
he went with his family to Saint Petersburg in 1842. Alfred received a first class education by private teachers. The training included natural sciences, languages and literature. By the age of 17 Alfred Nobel was fluent in Swedish, Russian, French, English and German. His primary interests were in English literature and poetry as well as in chemistry and physics. Alfred studied chemistry with Professor Nikolay Nikolaevich Zinin.
Alfred Nobel was the third son of Immanuel Nobel (1801-1872) and Andriette Ahlsell Nobel (1805-1889). He was born in Stockholm on 21 October 1833,
