The article is an excerpt from a book that delves into the history and mythology surrounding the giant squid, known scientifically as Architeuthis. It explores the creature's role in maritime lore, from ancient times to the 19th century, and its association with sea serpent sightings. The author, Richard Ellis, examines historical accounts from various sources, including ancient texts, ecclesiastical writings, and naval records, to suggest that many sea serpent sightings could be attributed to encounters with the giant squid. The article discusses the physical descriptions of the creature provided by eyewitnesses over the centuries and compares them to the known characteristics of the giant squid. The author argues that the lack of scientific knowledge about the giant squid in the past led to its mythologization and its place in cryptozoology.

Richard Ellis, who plays Brad Lewis in Netflix's series 'I Am Not Okay With This,' discusses the behind-the-scenes process of filming his character's dramatic death scene in the Season 1 finale. The scene involved a detailed setup including a digital scan of Ellis's head, 3D markers, and a dummy replica with a blood-filled balloon to simulate the head explosion. Despite the shocking end for his character, Ellis expresses mixed feelings, acknowledging the memorable nature of his departure. He also touches on the uncertainty of his character's return in a potential second season, emphasizing the importance of the story's quality over personal desires.

The article discusses the historical scepticism surrounding the existence of unicorns and the supposed magical properties of their horns, known as alicorn. It mentions Ambroise Paré, a French physician, who expressed his doubts about unicorns in his work 'Des monstres et prodiges'. The article also covers how European explorations in the Arctic during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries led to the discovery of the narwhal, which was then identified as the likely source of the alicorn. This discovery, along with the first formal description of the narwhal by William Baffin, led to a decline in the perceived medicinal value of alicorn. The article further notes that other horn-like products, such as walrus tusk, were also believed to have magical properties, which contributed to the questioning of the alicorn's uniqueness and value in Southern Europe.

The article discusses historical accounts of marine cryptids, specifically sea serpents, in Norwegian seas. It references William Guthrie's chapter on Norway from his 18th-century work, which includes descriptions of remarkable sea creatures, including the sea-snake. The article also mentions Bishop Hans Egede's 1734 encounter with a sea-monster and other similar sightings that were considered modern at the time. Scott, presumably Sir Walter Scott, is noted for debunking a sea-serpent story from a mariner he knew, suggesting the creature was actually a log. Scott's own literary work, 'Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border,' is cited, where he included a footnote about sea serpents and later editions mentioned a large sea-snake washed ashore in the Orkney Isles in 1808.

The article discusses the growing presence of electric vehicles (EVs) in Summit County, Utah, and addresses common concerns about their environmental impact, range, and performance in snow. It highlights that EVs, even when charged on Utah's coal-dominated grid, produce fewer emissions than gasoline cars. The article cites a study showing EVs powered by renewable energy have significantly lower lifetime CO2 emissions. Park City is moving towards powering municipal charging stations with 100% renewable energy by 2022, with Summit County to follow by 2023. The article also notes the availability of over 280 charging stations in Utah and the effectiveness of snow tires for EVs in winter conditions. Additionally, it mentions the upcoming availability of all-wheel-drive EVs and electric pickup trucks, and promotes Park City's free electric buses as an alternative for those not purchasing an EV.

The article provides a guide to various walking routes in Pembrokeshire, Wales, highlighting the natural beauty and historical significance of the region. Each walk is detailed with its start and finish points, distance, and a brief description of what walkers can expect to see, including coastal scenery, wildlife, and archaeological sites. The walks vary in length and difficulty, offering options for different abilities. The National Trust provides downloadable routes and maps for each walk. The article also mentions points of interest such as the Iron Age fort at Marloes Sands, the volcanic rocks of Treginnis, and the neolithic burial chamber at St Davids Head. Additionally, it suggests places to eat and rest, like the Sloop Inn and the Quayside Lawrenny Tearoom.

The article discusses the concept of quantum supremacy and predicts that it will soon become an irrelevant measure for the public, as nation-states will likely achieve quantum advances in secret. The author suggests that an 'enforced quantum boundary' will be established globally to limit the number of qubits quantum computers can legally use, affecting commercial quantum computing and encryption standards. The article also speculates on the impact of quantum computing on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, suggesting that quantum computing could both destroy and revolutionize them. The author, Richard Ellis, emphasizes the need for rapid development and implementation of quantum-proof encryption to prevent potential security crises.

The article is a compilation of various scientific papers that discuss the topic of cosmic reionization and the properties of early star-forming galaxies. It includes analyses of new constraints from the Planck satellite and the Hubble Space Telescope, focusing on the growth of cosmic ionizing emissivity and the UV luminosity density of galaxies. The papers cover a range of topics including the luminosity function of galaxies at redshifts z=9-10, the detection of oxygen emission lines from high-redshift galaxies, the impact of the cosmic microwave background on high-redshift observations, and the characteristics of dust and metal content in early galaxies. The studies utilize data from various observatories and surveys such as ALMA, the Hubble Frontier Fields, and the ESO Very Large Telescope, providing insights into the evolution of galaxies and the universe's reionization epoch.

The article provides a guide for adventurous ways to experience the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, across various locations in the United States. It suggests watching the eclipse from unique vantage points such as atop mountains, on waterways, or in the backcountry. Specific locations mentioned include the Sawtooth National Forest in Idaho, Charleston’s waterways in South Carolina, Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, Katy Trail State Park in Missouri, Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina and Tennessee, Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area in Kentucky and Tennessee, and Tallulah Gorge State Park in Georgia. The author, Kristen Pope, emphasizes the importance of eye safety during the eclipse and advises planning ahead due to expected crowds and traffic.

The Hubble Space Telescope celebrates its 25th anniversary, marking a milestone for NASA's space observatory since its launch on April 24, 1990. Despite initial challenges with its primary mirror, Hubble's vision was restored by astronauts, and it has since traveled 3.4 billion miles, circling Earth nearly 137,000 times. Hubble has made over 1.2 million observations, including distant primitive galaxies approximately 13 billion light-years away. To commemorate the anniversary, IBTimes UK showcases 25 of Hubble's most stunning images, which include celestial objects like Westerlund 2, NGC 1999, Hercules A, and the Pillars of Creation. The article also mentions the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope, set to launch in 2018, which will continue to expand our understanding of the universe.
