US redwood sequoia company wins approval

A US company wanting to grow giant redwood trees here to sell the lumber back home has won the right to buy another 4000ha in New Zealand.

New Zealand's moist climate allows higher growth rates for Sequoia than in California.

Team Soul wins the 3rd round of the PMCO Fall Split global finals, On the first day, both Indian teams showed great performances.In the second last round of the first day of the PMCO Fall split global finals, Indian team Soul has won in a splendid fashion. The round was set to be played in the frozen Vikendi map, which is comparatively smaller than other maps, hence, it is more intense and needs better improvisation.Team Soul got an initial advantage of the central location of the zone in the map. With the game advancing, the zone actually zeroes down to them. The Indian team was well guarded by the fortress they camped in while all the teams were weakened while travelling into the blue zone. By the time last 10 players were left, Team Soul had all the players left and their full health eventually helped them in surviving till the end. Although in the end, Soul Mortal was only left to make his side win as his counterpart from Team Unique died after falling short on health.Amidst all this, credits should go to…

Jacob Collier – “Time Alone With You” (Feat. Daniel Caesar)

Jacob Collier is one of those blokes who's been around for years and years, building steam outside the critical conversation, forging relationships across the music industry. He first came to fame as a North London teenager posting splitscreen covers on YouTube in 2012. Now 25, he's become the kind of unstoppable force who can tour the world behind a four-part, 50-song album he's releasing over the course of two or three years. That project is called Djesse, and today — on the heels of contributing to Coldplay's Everyday Life — he's beginning to roll out the third volume. The four volumes of Djesse supposedly represent the four phases of the day. They present Collier's omnivorous ethos, which brings together elements of classical, funk, jazz, folk, soul, hip-hop, and alternative rock among other traditions. He really goes out of his way to cast a wide net, but not at the expense of coherence. Vol. 1, released last December, involved contributions from Laura Mvula, Voces8, Hamid El

Why We Strike Again

For more than a year, children and young people from around the world have been striking for the climate. We launched a movement that defied all expectations, with millions of people lending their voices – and their bodies – to the cause. We did this not because it was our dream, but because we didn’t see anyone else taking action to secure our future. And despite the vocal support we have received from many adults – including some of the world’s most powerful leaders – we still don’t. Striking is not a choice we relish; we do it because we see no other options. We have watched a string of United Nations climate conferences unfold. Countless negotiations have produced much-hyped but ultimately empty commitments from the world’s governments – the same governments that allow fossil-fuel companies to drill for ever-more oil and gas, and burn away our futures for their profit.
