Mitsubishi's Brazil-only Triton special edition, the BF///MS, is a rugged off-road truck that's part of a partnership with a local lifestyle brand. It's designed for the off-road crowd and features a unique bi-tone brown paint job with Onyx Pearl Black on the lower bodywork. The 20-inch wheels have a dark diamond-cut finish and sit on grippy Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires. The interior is just as impressive, with brown and black leather upholstery and orange stitching. The BF///MS logo is emblazoned on the dashboard, and a horse emblem is embroidered into the seats and projected by the puddle lights. The special edition is based on the flagship Triton Katana trim and comes with a generous standard kit, including a 9-inch infotainment system, navigation, a 360-degree camera, and a premium JBL sound system. Under the skin, the BF///MS is powered by a twin-turbo 2.4-liter diesel engine producing 202 hp and 470 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and Mitsubishi's Super Select II 4WD system, which features a locking rear differential and seven terrain-specific drive modes. The BF///MS is offered on a built-to-order basis in Brazil without a fixed production cap, and it's currently priced at R$ 339,990 ($67,200) as part of a promotion. This makes it less expensive than the limited-production Triton Terra, which was priced at R$ 364,990 ($71,200).

Dublin is gearing up for a major transformation with a new residential scheme that will feature a 30-storey tower, set to become Ireland's tallest building. The Land Development Agency and Castlethorn are kicking off construction on this ambitious project, which will include 562 homes designed for cost-rental housing. The planning approval was secured last year, and construction is set to begin soon on the site of the former Hickey’s Wholesale Fabrics warehouse, right across from Heuston Station. The centerpiece of this development is Parkgate Pointe, the 30-storey apartment building that will house 198 homes, while three additional blocks will add another 364 apartments, varying in height from 10 to 13 stories. This project represents a significant shift in how Dublin approaches residential density, especially around major transport hubs like Heuston, which is becoming a focal point for large-scale redevelopment. Beyond just housing, the scheme aims to enhance the area with retail spaces, resident amenities, and green features like roof terraces and a communal courtyard. All apartments will boast an impressive A-rated energy performance certification, reflecting a commitment to sustainability. The project also emphasizes connectivity, with plans for a new boardwalk and cycle bridge to improve access between the train station, Conyngham Road, and the nearby Phoenix Park. As construction progresses, this development is seen as a key step in revitalizing the Heuston area, with the LDA and Córas Iompair Éireann collaborating on a broader master plan that includes new homes, offices, and public amenities. It's an exciting time for Dublin, as these changes promise to reshape the skyline and enhance the community.

Hey! So, you know how sometimes things just… shift? Like, you're used to one way of doing things, and then suddenly, the ground moves a little under your feet? Well, something like that is happening with top researchers. Canada's been quietly bringing in a bunch of really smart people, like 64 in total, and a big chunk of them, 48, are coming from places like Harvard and MIT. It’s not just a few random hires, either. There’s over $364 million behind this, specifically targeting fields like AI, climate science, and medicine. What’s really interesting, and honestly a bit surprising, is *why* some of these folks are leaving the US. A few are pretty openly saying that the current administration's approach to science, funding, and even academic freedom has made them feel like the US isn't the place it used to be for scientific exploration. One professor, who’s moving to McGill, even said he used to think the US was the most science-enthusiastic country, but that’s just not true anymore for him. Another scientist left a US federal agency because he felt his research was being censored. It sounds like Canada is really leaning into supporting research, especially in areas that matter to society, and making it a priority. It's a pretty clear signal that when some countries are pulling back, others are stepping up.

Labour’s new “AI Growth Zones” are fast‑tracking dozens of data‑centre projects across the UK, treating them as Critical National Infrastructure so they skip many of the usual planning checks. The evidence behind the wildlife worries comes from a mix of observational studies, expert reviews and local ecological surveys that link large‑scale data‑centre footprints to habitat loss, noise, light and electromagnetic disturbances. Those studies show that the humming, vibration and bright lights from data‑centres can alter hormone levels and breeding cycles in bats, owls and other nocturnal animals, while the constant hum can disorient migratory birds. Electromagnetic fields from high‑power transmission lines have been linked to reduced foraging success in honeybees, and the massive water draw—about 6.6 million litres a day now, projected to rise to nearly 20 million litres by 2030—can lower river flows that many fish and amphibians depend on. Because the sites often sit on or near protected habitats—like the SSSI near Elsham or the nature‑rich woods in Bromley—developers are allowed to pay a levy into a Nature Restoration Fund instead of preserving the original land. Conservationists argue that planting trees elsewhere can’t replace the complex, site‑specific ecosystems that get destroyed. Local groups and wildlife charities are already filing objections, and some ministers have overridden council decisions to push projects ahead. The net effect, according to the gathered evidence, is a rapid fragmentation of habitats that could push already vulnerable species closer to decline.
China's electric vehicle market has grown exponentially, with annual sales surging from 1 million in 2018 to over 16 million in 2025. However, this rapid growth has led to a wave of batteries nearing the end of their service life, posing a significant waste-management and recycling challenge for the country. China reported 400,000 metric tons of EV battery waste last year, with projections indicating that this figure could grow to 1.69 million metric tons in 2030 and 22.39 million metric tons by 2040. A joint study by researchers in China and the US found that much of the country's used-battery supply continues to flow through uncertified recyclers, which poses serious environmental and safety risks. China has created a formal EV battery recycling system, with over 150 companies certified to process retired vehicle batteries, but they handled only about 25 percent of those batteries in 2023. An investigation revealed that more than 100 certified companies were no longer operating or could not be reached. The study estimated that uncertified recyclers handled nearly 270,000 metric tons of retired batteries in 2023, and without decisive intervention, the volume flowing through informal channels could reach 1.26 million tons in 2030 and 16.79 million tons by 2040. China is adopting a new national regulation governing EV battery recycling, requiring automakers to bear greater responsibility for collecting and recycling used batteries. However, experts say that more needs to be done, including requiring automakers to take greater responsibility for battery recycling, imposing stricter controls on informal recyclers, and offering incentives to consumers and certified recyclers. The challenge is not unique to China, as battery recycling has proven difficult to make profitable worldwide.
