Why all this hoo-hah about soap and water? Surely we’re better off with that hand sanitiser we managed to wrestle out of the hands of some old lady before Tesco ran out? Nope.
20 seconds with even the cheapest, nastiest soap spells dissolution and doom for COVID-19, as this usefully kid-friendly video from Vox explains.

Wait. What the? To wit:
Pictured here are anticrepuscular rays. To understand them, start by picturing common crepuscular rays that are seen any time that sunlight pours though scattered clouds. Now although sunlight indeed travels along straight lines, the projections of these lines onto the spherical sky are great circles. Therefore, the crepuscular rays from a setting (or rising) sun will appear to re-converge on the other side of the sky. At the anti-solar point 180 degrees around from the Sun, they are referred to as anticrepuscular rays. Featured here is a particularly striking display of anticrepuscular rays photographed in 2016 over Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida, USA.

Behold: Project Ice Kite – a 67 metre superyacht designed by Red Yacht Design and Dykstra Naval Architects.
464m² of outdoor space includes a pool, jacuzzi, dining area,helipad, bar and BBQ area overlooked by a main lounge entirely wrapped in glass. Five ensuite cabins accommodate up to ten guests and fuel efficiency is maximised by offsetting twin 1000bhp diesel electric engines with a deployable 158 m² kite rig and a low resistance hydrodynamic hull.
Price on application.
’x-lands’: an interesting concept by XTU architects whereby the inevitably defunct oil rigs of the future are transformed into offshore living space filled with greenery and powered by renewable energy.
Splendid isolation, in fairness.

Artist Colin Darke can draw with either hand.
And not just either, both simultaneously.
And not just both simultaneously, both simultaneously drawing different parts of the same thing.
More of his time lapses here.
