Art is about finding creativity in the gutter next to you. Olafur Eliasson Danish artist Olafur Eliasson¡¯s sculptures often draw on natural elements, inspired by the unique Scandinavian landscapes of his childhood. In one of his most famous installations (2014-2018), Eliasson teamed up with geologist Minik Rosing to display fragments of an Arctic iceberg in European cities in order to highlight the climate crisis. His art is very much a product of his surroundings ¡ª the ordinary turned extraordinary. Here, Eliasson advises us that our next idea may come from somewhere unexpected; all we have to do is pay attention. Mary Live long and prosper

Spurred by his own scuba diving experience at 16, during which he came across ¡°more plastic bags than fish,¡± Slat asked himself: ¡°Why can¡¯t we just clean this up?¡± ? ?So he set out to do exactly that, and during TED2025 earlier this week, Slat shared an update on the organization¡¯s work. Not only is The Ocean Cleanup taking steps to get rid of legacy plastic, or the stuff already floating in the ocean, but the nonprofit is also developing large-scale technologies to stop new plastic from entering. One way it does this is through the Interceptor Original, a scalable technology that uses natural forces like solar power to prevent river debris from flowing into the sea. ? During his TED Talk, Slat said the organization has set a goal to bring Interceptors to 30 cities around the world, which, its models predict, will stop up to one-third of all the plastic currently entering the ocean. ¡°Once the oceans are clean again, it can be this example of how, through hard work and ingenuity, we can solve the big problems of our time,¡± Slat said. ? ?Read our roundup of five other inspiring thought leaders at the TED conference ¡ª including a scientist using AI to make medicine safer and more effective ¡ª and watch a video of a chocolatier¡¯s incredible creations.

News Articles Shop Account The Amazing Deeds of Alfred the Great and His Illustrious Family: England¡¯s First Anglo-Saxon Kings It takes something special to be rewarded with the title ¡®Great¡¯ in English history. It¡¯s true that if you were talking to a Dane, they might well argue that Cnut, also at one time a king of England, fully deserves the title. And others might throw continental rulers with names like Peter, Frederick and Catherine into the mix. Then there is also Charlemagne to consider, a name which literally translated means ¡®Charles the Great¡¯. But Alfred stands alone in English history, perhaps due to a sense of humility or a desire to avoid building up one of our own too much. We don¡¯t want anyone, even a king, getting above their station. So, does Alfred really deserve to be given such an illustrious title? Let¡¯s start with a quick resum¨¦ of the man who has earned himself a reputation as a disastrous cook and a man who single-handedly defeated the Vikings, fighting back from near oblivion when deserted by all and sundry before going on to be the first king of England. There¡¯s one or two doubtful facts there, some out and out myths and a few grains of truth. So, let¡¯s start by sifting the wheat from the chaff. What Alfred Was Not Let¡¯s begin with some of the dubious elements of the legend of Alfred. First of all, there¡¯s that story about burning the cakes. The story first appears a century or so after Alfred lived in a work known as the Life of St Neot. Therefore, there is no contemporary account mentioning it. That in itself poses a question. So too does the nature of the story, that of a man down on his luck, so much so that the king, supposedly the greatest man in the kingdom, finds himself berated by a peasant¡¯s wife, the humblest of the humble. This type of story is not unique: Robert the Bruce and spiders in caves anyone? So, the story is probably not true. Rather it is a story within a story highlighting how low Alfred had fallen and how high he would later fly. Then let¡¯s look a bit more at that story about the abandoned Alfred, hiding away in the remote fastness of the Isle of Athelney. Well, here we have a bit more to go on. Alfred was certainly forced to run for cover when caught by a surprise attack launched by a Viking army at Chippenham in January 878. And he did make his way to Athelney, protected by its remote and isolated position in the Somerset Levels. True so far. But was he alone and abandoned? Well, whilst he was hiding away on Athelney the Devon militia won a major victory over a Viking army on the shores of the Bristol Channel. And when shortly after he called up an army to take on the Vikings there was a significant response from the militias of Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire, so he was hardly alone whatever his biographer, Bishop Asser of Sherborne, might suggest. One element is easily dealt with. Alfred was never king of what we know as England. Rather he was the king of Wessex, which covered most of southern England, and he was also in practice the ruler of Mercia, which by his time covered the west Midlands. So, a reasonable part of modern England but far from all of it. Excluded were the east midlands and the north, areas that were still under Viking control in Alfred¡¯s time. Continue reading...

Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (4/11/2025): The ISS Meets Venus
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 11 The ISS Meets Venus Image Credit & Copyright: A.J. Smadi Explanation: Made with a telescope shaded from bright sunlight by an umbrella, on April 5 a well-planned video captured a crescent Venus shining in clear daytime skies from Shoreline, Washington, USA at 11:57AM Pacific Time. It also caught the International Space Station in this single video frame. In close conjunction with the bright planet, the faint outline of the orbital outpost seen at a range of about 400 kilometers appears to be similar in size to the slender planetary crescent. Of course the ISS is much smaller than Venus. Now appearing as planet Earth's brilliant morning star and climbing above the eastern horizon in predawn skies, inner planet Venus was nearly 45 million kilometers from Shoreline.
