e world’s first cargo ship partly powered by a giant kite-like sail sets on its maiden voyage from Germany to Venezuela.

“Beluga SkySails” is fitted with a giant computer-guided kite, which helps the engines to power the ship – thereby reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

The ship is the result of co-operation between two German companies, who hope this first journey is just the start of a comeback for harnessing windpower in the fight against climate change.

From the page: “The monumental chestnut tree that comforted Anne Frank while she was in hiding from the Nazis will be preserved for at least five more years under a plan agreed Wednesday, the museum at the site said.

The tree, which is afflicted with a lethal fungus, was to have been cut down last year, but a judge ordered a reprieve while supporters worked on a plan to preserve it.”

From the page: “On January 23, 2008, the Digg servers went down for about an hour. What happened when they came back up has left plenty of people wretching in disbelief.

Digg has pretty much taken a crap in a cup, and asked everyone, including even the top diggers, to partake in the offering. It now takes (barring a miracle, or a massive, collective pre-planned quick-strike diggfest), around 200 diggs to go popular, which leaves many (including me) to wonder… is Digg TRYING to drive away users, and if so, why?”
