Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist who just won Ukraine’s version of “America’s Got Talent.” She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and “sand painting” skills to interpret Germany’s invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII.

Thanks to Simon for this find on the BBC website.
Particularly interesting if you happen to live in or near Oxford!

Very many thanks to Dr Jens Madrian from Npower for this talk yesterday on the forthcoming Inspire Antarctic Expedition 2009 led by Robert Swan and his 2041 team. The idea – that if we can survive on renewable energy in the inhospitable conditions of Antarctic then we can so anywhere in the world – is an inspiration.
The websites captures below are also links to websites for more information.
We look forward to Dr Madrian’s return visit early next term to tell us what it was like. We hope his eyes don’t change colour!

I hope 2009 brings you all your needs. Meanwhile I apologise for a lack of posts recently. There is no particular excuse for this, except the reason may be that things get busy and and suddenly it is Xmas.
Hopefully, things will start to pick up when term starts and when theis dull grey overhead finally drifts away.
