"At which point we're going to blow them out of the fucking skies."
Melania Trump: "Santa's reindeer -- Rudolph, Dasher, Comet, all of them -- they're resting in the North Pole. They need to save all of their energy for their great flight around the world on Christmas Eve. Santa told me they're snuggling beneath warm, fluffy blankets."

Tove Jansson's (1957) illustration from her book 'Moominland Midwinter'. Moomintroll, unlike his family who hibernate, decides to stay up through the harsh winter. It is a tale of endurance, acceptance and learning to live with the discomfort of uncertainty #WomensArt

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

“We all want quiet, we all want beauty, we all need space”

These are the words of one of our three founders, Octavia Hill.

Born on this day in 1838, she worked tirelessly to improve urban housing and to protect green spaces. The impact of her life and work is still being felt today.

Portal to the past. Alderman Stairs, featured on John Rocque’s map of 1746, also known as Alderman Parsons Stairs & Lady Parsons Stairs, probably named after a previous owner and his wife. Connecting river to land, these steps once bustled with people & activity, now quiet, eerie & full of ghosts.
