Norwegian company Ocean Sun has received a grant from the Research Council of Norway to further develop its floating solar technology.

To the project in China, Ocean Sun provided its floating solar technology that has been integrated with offshore wind turbine.

Ocean Sun secured a grant together with Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) for a joint project that has been supported with a share of NOK 81 million (€7.1 million), provided by the Research Council of Norway for ten projects that focus on environmentally friendly energy development.

Alexandra Grant's new coffee table book 'LOVE: A Visual History of the grantLOVE Project' is about love, but it's also about art-making, community and ...

When I think of Roxane and the way she thinks about community, both in her personal life and the idea of the civic artist, she emblematizes that to me. That during my lifetime, the LOVE symbol is just gonna be something that I have fun collaborating with people on, and creating, and then when I pass I’ll leave some directives. To be totally honest, I think people didn’t take it as seriously as they might have just because of so many men in the art world and the LOVE project seemed kind of cute. This fear of the other is so depressing about humans, that fear of other is so strong, especially now with the media and politics being what they are. So as my art career in Los Angeles grew and grew and grew, I began asking: Well, how do I combine how I was raised, thinking about these issues that come from looking at the bill of human rights and Eleanor Roosevelt as a hero, and move that kind of thinking into the arts? I think it was informed by switching languages and realizing we all have languages inside that are different from the languages that are around us, especially if we’ve migrated. So it’s my hope, as a female artist, to show we can talk about money, we can support each other, we don’t have to give away from our art studio practices in order to be part of a circle of community. Because philanthropy so often is a vertical — [meaning] with strings attached, or the philanthropist has a vision of how they want their money to be used or what kinds of programming they’re going to support. At the beginning of my career, in the early aughts, there were just constant requests for artworks to be donated to different nonprofits, which were all very worthy. The latest iteration in this “sourdough methodology” progression, as Grant calls it — in which each new project or body of work begins with a “starter” from the last — is Grant’s new art book, “LOVE: A Visual History of the grantLOVE Project,” which came out Dec. For a book about philanthropy, “LOVE” is surprisingly vibrant and lighthearted. There are also portraits of collectors and nonprofit partners, who offer commentary about the project and its influence.

I went to a store in Durban North and I overheard people saying that if you have a Postbank card, you need to withdraw your grant from a retail store. Postbank said that the suspension was necessary as it had uncovered a series of network attacks by criminal elements determined to commit systematic ATM card fraud-related crimes. Some of them went to the Verulam Sassa office to ask if their money was there. It’s sad to see elderly people not knowing that there is a technical issue.” We as Black Sash cannot understand why this was not planned for properly by Sassa. DA spokesperson of social development Bridget Masango said that scores of people were struggling to get their social grants from Sassa and Postbank this month.
