Hundreds of whales gather in Antarctica to feed, in one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth. But even here, in a place that should be a sanctuary, industrial krill fishing continues unchecked…

Researchers found that artificial snow leads to significant CO2 emissions and affects local ecosystems.
For example, its slower melting can delay plant growth, impacting the animals that depend on them.

Arthur Penhryn Stanley, #Anglican dean, considers Matthew 25. The Real Presence of Christ is in every Christian, every friendless sufferer throughout the world. We can render service to Him.
Just been talking to some Reformed peeps who don’t see a need to be involved in the suffering of Syrian Christians.
How can you render a service to Christ Himself?
A single #HAMMER impactor (9-meter-tall, 8.8-ton) could deflect an object 
90 meters in diameter 
by around 1.4 Earth radii with 10 years of lead time – from the time of launch to anticipated Earth impact. If limited to #telescopic 
observations, it’s possible that researchers may not be 100 percent certain of an #impact until less than a year before collision

It was the first time I've heard of the Research Excellence Framework (REF). On the one hand, I am impressed by this framework, on the other hand, I see many challenges. I'm not so sure every researcher in the UK likes it, apart from the fact that it's very prestigious to be selected as a 4* rated REF project.

"Brilliant creativity is the ultimate untrained model" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Soul beats silicon, every single time.
Every Canadian will immediately recognize the image in this video. That's the power of visual connectivity. Now watch the video - that speaks to the power of great creativity. If you are Canadian, I bet you will have tears in your eyes.

This new advertisement for cancer research in Canada is so undeniably powerful, with such an emotional connection, that it reaches deep into your soul and powers your emotions into overdrive.
That's the power of great creativity.
Now watch this other iconic Canadian commercial that was widely shared during the last week, even though it is more than 20 years old. The video speaks deeply to the pride of every Canadian. It becomes the soundtrack to rebellion against idiocy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMxGVfk09lU
This video is another example of a great creative mindset at work. Those who craft together such powerful messages into such a small number of video frames are truly creative superheroes.
Now read this exchange which crossed my LinkedIn feed one morning over a year ago.
The exchange is hilarious but revealing. A fellow named **Allen Watson**, who is a creative type, received an unsolicited email from someone in the industry one day.
"Bro. I know it's hard to consider, but copywriting is going Al. Yes, you need an editor, but I can provide ten times your copy in a day than you can in a month, at half the cost. Period. Game over. It's all original content, optimized, etc. And this is not a shot at you, I had the same thing happen two years ago. Now it's even worse."
To which Alan responded:
"My company, Blue Seven Content - Enhanced Law Firm Content, just ended its most successful month ever. All human written content. I'm happy you've found something that works for you, but we'll stick with what we're doing, which is using Al as a tool for ideas, along with various other tools that help enhance the content writing process."
The answer?
"It's ok bro., your charging too much and will be out of business in a year."
Years later, Allan is still very much in business. And it's another example of the false promise and hype of technology.
