Carlsberg launches world first “Snap Pack” to fight plastic waste
Global beer company Carlsberg has launched its Snap Pack - a new packaging innovation that will cut plastic pollution. The technology - which uses glue to hold cans together - is expected to save up to 1,200 tonnes of plastic waste a year... that's 60 million plastic bags! More here.
China’s Empire of Money Is Reshaping Global Trade
Xi Jinping’s new “Belt and Road” initiative is designed to promote economic development and extend China’s influence.
China is building a very 21st century empire—one where trade and debt lead the way, not armadas and boots on the ground.
If President Xi Jinping’s ambitions become a reality, Beijing will cement its position at the center of a new world economic order spanning more than half the globe. Already, China has extended its influence far beyond that of the Tang Dynasty’s golden age more than a millennium ago. More here.

Quantum Physics for 7 Year Olds “Science is not about if you are good at it or not.. it's about whether you are interested.”
In this lighthearted talk Dominic Walliman gives us four guiding principles for easy science communication and unravels the myth that quantum physics is difficult to understand, it’s all in how it’s explained. More here.
"Not all those who wander are lost".
In these podcast series, Gertjan Van Hellemont (aka Douglas Firs) walks every week with a fellow musician (Ruben Block, Stef Kamil Carlens, Spinvis etc). They talk about music, inspiration, birds, relativisation (and how to put that into perspective) ... and about walking. Each walk is concluded with a unique live session on site (like so). Afterwards, every walker makes a playlist with his / her favorite music especially for us while walking. More here.
Yuval Noah Harari on what the year 2050 has in store for humankind ‘In such a world, the last thing a teacher needs to give her pupils is more information. They already have far too much of it. Instead, people need the ability to make sense of information, to tell the difference between what is important and what is unimportant, and above all to combine many bits of information into a broad picture of the world.’ ‘So what should we be teaching? Many pedagogical experts argue that schools should switch to teaching “the four Cs” – critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity. Most important of all will be the ability to deal with change, to learn new things and to preserve your mental balance in unfamiliar situations.’ ‘So the best advice I could give a 15-year-old stuck in an outdated school somewhere in Mexico, India or Alabama is: don’t rely on the adults too much. Most of them mean well, but they just don’t understand the world.’ More here.
How Spiders Use Silk to Fly
Spider flight, known as ballooning, is a mysterious phenomenon not fully understood by science. How is it that spiders can use their own silk to ride the wind for miles at a time? A researcher in Berlin tested crab spiders in nature and a wind tunnel to find out more about how they fly. More here.
Lego and business strategy: the perfect combination!
When talking about LEGO, you immediately think of playing: some may remember playing hours with these small bricks years ago, while others regularly use them with their kids. But few of us would spontaneously think of using them as a business tool for workshops. More here.
What Is Dark Matter?
Physicists and astronomers have determined that most of the material in the universe is “dark matter”—whose existence we infer from its gravitational effects but not through electromagnetic influences such as we find with ordinary, familiar matter. One of the simplest concepts in physics, dark matter can nonetheless be mystifying because of our human perspective. Each of us has five senses, all of which originate in electromagnetic interactions. Vision, for example, is based on our sensitivity to light: electromagnetic waves that lie within a specific range of frequencies. We can see the matter with which we are familiar because the atoms that make it up emit or absorb light. The electric charges carried by the electrons and protons in atoms are the reason we can see. Matter is not necessarily composed of atoms, however. Most of it can be made of something entirely distinct. Matter is any material that interacts with gravity as normal matter does—becoming clumped into galaxies and galaxy clusters, for example. More here.

The Master and His Pupil
In September 2002 the famous Russian conductor Valery Gergiev gave some master classes in Rotterdam to three young, and talented, but just starting colleagues. Under Gergiev's supervision the three aspiring conductors were asked to conduct the Rotterdam Youth Philharmonic Orchestra in a demanding programme of two works by Scriabin - "Poem of Ecstasy" and "Prometheus". The comparisons between Spanish/American Alexis Soriano already with his own orchestra - the State Hermitage Orchestra in St Petersburg - and who has Gergiev's fire and passion but not yet the precision to go with it, and Anglo/Chinese conductor Jason Lai, assistant conductor of the BBC PO, too technical and metronomic for Scriabin, and the Dutch conductor Otto Tausk are revealing. The unsung heroes are the orchestra displaying just how accomplished youth orchestras are these days. More here.
