A sculpture titled "Antarctic Explorer – Darkness to Lightness." A portable data device for the Antarctic Explorer, this piece explores the transition from complete darkness in June to 24 hour sunlight in October. Data translated include weather patterns, temperature variations, barometric pressure, wind data, azimuth of the sun, sunrise in relation to cardinal directions, tides, moon phases, moonrise and sunrise. Using a base of 24 hour, every weave represents one hour. Mary Knox Merrill / Staff

A sculpture titled "Urban Weather Prairies - Symphonic Studies in D." Urban Weather Prairies is based on data collected in Omaha, Nebraska, during a 2-month period (May /June 2008). The flags represent the strength and direction of wind. Artist statement: "I chose to translate the data I collected in the format of an orchestra as a way to more truthfully articulate the somewhat idiosyncratic way I was making sense of my daily weather observations. Just like each instrument in a symphony plays part of the score, each sculpture and wall piece tells part of the story, with the entirety of the piece coming together through the larger behavioral patterns that slowly emerge over time."

A sculpture titled "Wind Anemometer: Herring Cove, Cape Cod." The sculpture functions as both an anemometer to be used on the beach to measure wind, as well as a sculpture on which collected data is recorded. Mary Knox Merrill / Staff

Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, believed to have suffered a stroke, has not made a public appearance in three weeks. The country must now prepare for their first leader from a generation too young to have fought for independence from France.
Three weeks after being rushed to hospital in Paris, Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has disappeared from sight, leaving behind a country preparing for a successor who for the first time will come from a generation too young to have fought in Algeria's war of independence against France.
