Trans-Tasman Resources' Taranaki seabed mining project clears first phase of Fast-track process
A company's plan to mine 50 million tonnes of South Taranaki seabed every year has cleared the first hurdle in the Fast-track process.Trans-Tasman Resources (TTR) executive chair Alan Eggers said he was "delighted" the company's application for its Taranaki VTM project had been accepted as complete and would now move on to the next stage of the Fast-track process.
Opponents, meanwhile, are "livid" and have vowed to continue their fight against the project.
TTR wants to mine 50 million tonnes of seabed a year for 30 years in the South Taranaki Bight.
Eggers said the company had identified a world-class vanadium resource that could contribute $1 billion annually to the economy.

U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine resigned because she couldn’t support foreign policy that pressured the victim, Ukraine, instead of the aggressor, Russia. “Peace at any price is not peace at all — it is appeasement… History has taught us that appeasement leads to more war and suffering.”— Bridget Brink

Das Bild zeigt zwei Personen in einem Fahrzeug. Auf der linken Seite sitzt eine Person in einem auffälligen, pinken Federkostüm mit einem Kopfschmuck und großen, orangefarbenen Brillen. Der Text über dieser Person lautet "Every European during Eurovision". Auf der rechten Seite sitzt eine andere Person in einem schlichten schwarzen Jackett. Der Text über dieser Person lautet "everyone else". Die Person in der Kostüm ist in ein farbenfrohes, funkelndes Outfit gehüllt, während die andere Person in einem dunkleren, weniger auffälligen Outfit gekleidet ist. Der Hintergrund zeigt die Innenausstattung eines Fahrzeugs, mit Sitzpolstern und einem Teil des Dachs.

If you are able to donate for Gaza, please do so. Even small amounts help.
No this won't end the Genocide, but it can alleviate suffering a little.

A farewell to Pepe Mujica, who recently passed away and really led by example ( ESPAÑOL MÁS ABAJO)
ENG: "He established an agenda of rights that marked his administration by fire; he promoted the 8-hour working day for rural workers when he was Minister of Livestock, and during his term of office, the day of the rural worker was declared, which is celebrated every 30 April; The law on the voluntary interruption of pregnancy (with the main rationale of accompanying women in their decision and not as a mere act of ending a life); the regulation of marijuana consumption, which put Uruguay in the international spotlight as a testing ground for the legalisation of all drugs in order to put an end to a war that only leaves deaths along the way."
ESP: "Consagró una agenda de derechos que marcaron a fuego su gestión; promovió las 8 horas para el trabajador rural siendo ministro de Ganadería, y durante su mandato se declaró el día del peón rural que se celebra cada 30 de abril; el matrimonio igualitario, la ley de interrupción voluntaria del embarazo (con la fundamentación principal de acompañar a las mujeres en la decisión y no como un mero acto de poner fin a una vida); la regulación del consumo de marihuana, con la que puso al Uruguay en la mira internacional como un campo de prueba hacia la legalización de todas las drogas para poner fin a una guerra que solo deja muertos por el camino."

“European Council President Antonio Costa says he is ‘shocked’ at the situation in Gaza, where Israel has launched an expanded offensive.
‘Shocked by the news from Gaza: starving civilians, hospitals hit again by strikes. The violence must stop!’ Costa says in a statement online.”
So how are the costumes this year at Eurovision? Any zany ones? How’s Israel’s?
