Hamba kahle Baba Phila
This beautiful tribute to Philasingazi Alson Ndimande was written by Sinegugu Zukulu, chairperson of the Global Environmental Trust (GET). Phila was co-founder of the Mfolozi Community Environmental Justice Organisation (MCEJO).
For over 10 years he led the struggle preventing coal mining in the Fuleni reserve, neighbouring the iMfolozi Wilderness Area.
He also supported the Mpukonyoni communities in challenging Tendele Coal mine’s non-compliance and plans to expand. His courage, integrity and uncompromising leadership won him respect and trust.
He was dearly loved and his death has sent shockwaves through the communities and organisations he worked with. Phila died of pancreatic cancer on Tuesday evening, 14 July, after a valiant struggle. This was a few months after his 60th birthday. There was still so much he wanted to do.
Our thoughts are with his family, the Ocilwane community, Fuleni, MCEJO members, friends and comrades. He will be sorely missed.
May your body and soul rest in peace, dear Phila, and may your spirit soar free.
“In deed, Comrade Phila was bigger than the biggest tree in the forest that supports thousands of creepers to reach the forest canopy for the much needed sunshine. A tree that bears fruits to feed all the birds in the forest. A tree that gives shelter to many other species. A tree that it’s leaves fall down, decompose and fertilise the soil to support growth of many other young trees. May his spirit continue to water the struggle of the people of Zululand. May he be the umbrella that protects, lifts and guides those left behind. May he be a good ancestor to his family. Rest in peace Comrade Phila!!! Phila ngonaphakade kwelemimoya, ulwile ukulwa okuhle!!!”

Parlay telah lama menjadi salah satu pilihan menarik bagi penggemar prediksi olahraga karena menawarkan sensasi berbeda dibandingkan taruhan tunggal. Dalam sistem ini, beberapa pilihan pertandingan digabungkan menjadi satu kombinasi, sehingga seluruh prediksi harus tepat agar hasil akhirnya berhasil. Karakteristik tersebut membuat kemenangan parlay sering dianggap sebagai pencapaian yang membutuhkan ketelitian, kesabaran, dan kemampuan membaca pertandingan secara menyeluruh.
Di balik kisah kemenangan besar, terdapat banyak cerita mengenai hasil yang tidak pernah diperkirakan sebelumnya. Tim unggulan dapat kehilangan poin di menit-menit akhir, sementara tim yang dipandang sebagai underdog justru tampil luar biasa. Situasi seperti inilah yang membuat kemenangan pasaran parlay terasa begitu istimewa. Bukan semata karena nilai kemenangan, tetapi karena perjalanan menuju hasil tersebut dipenuhi dinamika yang sulit ditebak.
Pendekatan yang berlandaskan analisis tetap menjadi fondasi utama. Memahami performa tim dalam beberapa pertandingan terakhir, kondisi pemain inti, strategi pelatih, hingga jadwal yang padat merupakan bagian dari proses pengambilan keputusan. Pengalaman menunjukkan bahwa keputusan terbaik biasanya lahir dari informasi yang lengkap, bukan sekadar mengikuti opini populer.
Strategi Cerdas di Balik Kemenangan yang Tak TerdugaBanyak orang mengira kemenangan parlay hanya bergantung pada keberuntungan. Faktanya, berbagai pengamat olahraga dan pemain berpengalaman memiliki pandangan berbeda. Mereka menempatkan riset sebagai langkah pertama sebelum menentukan kombinasi pertandingan. Data statistik, tren performa kandang dan tandang, serta rekor pertemuan menjadi referensi yang membantu mengurangi keputusan emosional.
Dalam praktiknya, kejutan tetap menjadi bagian dari olahraga. Sebuah pertandingan dapat berubah hanya karena satu kartu merah, pergantian pemain yang efektif, atau gol pada masa tambahan waktu. Faktor-faktor tersebut membuat hasil akhir sulit diprediksi secara mutlak. Namun, justru di sinilah daya tarik parlay muncul. Kombinasi analisis yang matang dengan dinamika pertandingan menciptakan pengalaman yang penuh tantangan.
Dari sudut pandang pengalaman, banyak pemain berpengalaman memilih jumlah kombinasi yang masih realistis dibanding mengejar peluang kemenangan besar dengan terlalu banyak pilihan. Pendekatan tersebut membantu menjaga kualitas analisis pada setiap pertandingan. Mereka juga cenderung menghindari keputusan tergesa-gesa hanya karena mengikuti tren sesaat di media sosial.
Aspek kredibilitas informasi juga memiliki peran penting. Mengandalkan statistik resmi, berita terbaru mengenai kondisi pemain, serta perkembangan tim dari sumber tepercaya akan menghasilkan keputusan yang lebih rasional.
Kemenangan pasaran parlay yang tidak terduga sering kali lahir dari kombinasi disiplin, kesabaran, dan kemampuan membaca peluang secara objektif. Hasil besar memang dapat terjadi dalam satu malam, tetapi proses di baliknya biasanya dibangun melalui kebiasaan menganalisis setiap pertandingan dengan cermat. Mereka yang konsisten mengevaluasi hasil sebelumnya juga memiliki peluang lebih baik untuk meningkatkan kualitas prediksi pada kesempatan berikutnya.
Pada akhirnya, parlay bukan sekadar mengejar kemenangan, melainkan menikmati proses memahami pertandingan dari berbagai sudut pandang. Setiap laga menghadirkan cerita, statistik, dan strategi yang berbeda. Ketika seluruh analisis berpadu dengan momen-momen tak terduga di lapangan, lahirlah kemenangan yang memberikan kepuasan tersendiri. Inilah alasan mengapa pasaran parlay tetap menjadi salah satu bentuk hiburan olahraga yang terus menarik perhatian banyak penggemar, sekaligus mengajarkan bahwa persiapan yang matang selalu memiliki nilai, meskipun hasil akhir tetap ditentukan oleh jalannya pertandingan.

New York governor orders first statewide data center moratorium
New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, issued an executive order Tuesday that puts a moratorium on the construction of large-scale data centers.
The pause, which will last up to a year, is the nation’s first statewide ban on data centers, which have drawn increasing concern from lawmakers and citizens based on their impact on electricity prices and the energy grid.
“As data center development threatens to hike up utility bills, deplete our natural resources, and create uncertainty for New Yorkers, it’s my responsibility to take action and lead,” Hochul said in a statement.
Technology companies have invested billions of dollars to build data centers all across the country, driven in part by the computing demands from artificial intelligence.
In her executive order, Hochul directed the state Department of Public Service to issue no new permits for large-scale data centers for a year. During that period, the agency will conduct an environmental analysis on the impacts of data centers, along with a proceeding to “require data centers to either pay more for their energy or supply their own.”
New York lawmakers passed a more extensive data center moratorium last month, but Hochul has not said whether she will sign the bill.
Read Next Climate activists take on a new foe: Data centers Kate YoderMaine Governor Janet Mills, also a Democrat, vetoed a measure earlier this year that would have been the first statewide data center ban.
In a news release, Hochul also directed the state’s economic development agency to develop a framework that local communities can use to negotiate with tech companies that seek to construct data centers. That framework will focus on infrastructure improvements, child care investments, direct financial support, and labor and wage standards.
She also announced plans for a fund that would require data centers to invest in New York’s grid infrastructure and clean energy supply. And she called on lawmakers to repeal the state’s sales tax exemptions for large data centers.
Across the country, data centers have drawn vocal opposition at local public meetings and in state capitols. Several cities and counties will vote on ballot measures this year to restrict the development of new data centers.

Food Tank’s Weekly News Roundup: Right to Repair Won, School Enrollment Boosted, an Oil Pipeline Fought
Each week, Food Tank is rounding up a few news stories that inspire excitement, infuriation, or curiosity.
700,000 Dead from USAID’s Dismantling
An estimated 700,000 people have died from the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development, according to Atul Gawande, USAID’s former Assistant Administrator for Global Health.
During a recent interview on The New Yorker Radio Hour, Gawande discussed what has happened in the aftermath of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cuts to USAID.
Elon Musk has repeatedly stated there’s no evidence that the cuts caused a single death. But Dr. Gawande says this simply isn’t true. While the closure of USAID means that we also lost some of the best data and tracking systems, it is clear that the abrupt disappearance of aid supporting nutrition security and maternal health has led to devastating consequences.
It takes years to recover the expertise and infrastructure of our global public health systems, eradicate preventable diseases, build surveillance for pandemics, reduce malnutrition, Gawande says. “And if we’re divided about that and it becomes political fodder, the institutions can’t function and we won’t be able to make a way forward. He argues it’s important to return to a place “where we believe that these kinds of institutions are what we all want.”
Ugandan Farmers Push Back against East African Oil Pipeline
A group of farmers in Uganda filed a lawsuit in the UK High Court against the East African Crude Oil Pipeline.
In the lawsuit against the UK-registered company, the farmers allege the $5.6 billion project violates legislation that protects citizens’ right to a clean and healthy environment. They argue it affects more than 100,000 people—mostly producers—through land acquisition and threatens biodiversity by crossing through freshwater systems and protected habitats.
Avaaz, an NGO supporting the farmers, calls the litigation the “first-of-its-kind” and says it is a “global test case for whether new fossil fuel megaprojects can still be forced through despite mounting legal, financial, climate, and community opposition.”
The project is being built to carry crude oil from Ugandan fields to Tanzania. According to developers, the 1,444 kilometer pipeline is nearly 80 percent complete. Avaaz says this is the “final chance to stop one of the worst oil pipelines on the planet.”
U.S. Farmers Win Right to Repair
Farmers in the United States secured the right to repair last week when the Federal Trade Commission reached a settlement with John Deere.
Previously, faulty equipment could only be fixed by dealers authorized by John Deere. The company also kept independent repair companies from accessing the necessary tools. This drove up costs for farmers and increased wait times.
Under the settlement, which was filed as part of a lawsuit in January 2025, this changes. The decision “enables farmers to do what they’ve done for generations—fix their own tractors and other farm equipment—without having to pay an authorized John Deere dealer to do it for them,” says Daniel Guarnera, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition.
‘Super’ El Nino May Cause Food Price Shock into 2028
Economists warn that the extreme weather events expected from El Niño may cause a nearly 16 percent spike in global food commodities that lasts into 2028.
Analysts at Goldman Sachs say countries are already seeing changes—with some regions of India receiving just a quarter of their usual rainfall—and the global impacts are likely to ramp up as we reach the end of 2026.
The Iran war has already pushed world food prices to the highest levels in three years and El Nino means that supply chains now face “two shocks at once.” According to the Italian bank UniCredit, climateflation is “back on the agenda” as El Nino compounds the effects of the climate crisis.
A School Farm Program in Kenya Pays Off
In Kenya’s Kajiado County, one school has more than doubled enrollment thanks to a farm pilot program.
Inaarok Lukuny Comprehensive School is one of four schools in Kajiado and Isiolo counties that were selected to convert unused land into working farms as part of a project led by the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation alongside university partners, government agencies, and local groups. Inaarok converted dry, uncultivated land into a four-acre farm growing maize, beans, cowpeas, green grams, and leafy vegetables.
Inaarok’s head teacher says that the farm has allowed them to integrate more nutritious foods into school meals, which helped boost enrollment from 240 to more than 525 students over the last year.

2026 FIFA World Cup & Extreme Heat
This is a guest blog by Peter Crisp of Fossil Free Football, a fan campaign aiming to kick big polluters out of the world’s favourite sport.
The ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup will likely be the hottest ever, produce more pollution than any event in history, and promote the world’s biggest oil company to billions of viewers. Yet it could also be a turning point. As football’s vulnerability to the climate crisis becomes impossible to ignore, more and more fans and players are calling for sporting authorities to do better.
The Heat ThreatThe climate crisis is fuelling extreme heat across the planet, driven by decades of burning coal, oil and gas. And the 2026 World Cup is not immune. Researchers predict that 14 out of 16 match venues this year will exceed dangerous temperatures with one in four matches expected to be played in hazardous heat conditions. Just last year, a June heat wave hit multiple World Cup host cities at once. A repeat this year could put attendees at real risk. On June 24 2025, it was 102F/39C in Boston. This year, on June 23, England will play Ghana in that same city in a stadium without shade (see below) at 4PM…

The heat threatens safety and changes the game itself. Extreme heat means slower tempo, less pressing and earlier substitutions. 97 of 104 scheduled matches face a higher probability of performance-impairing conditions due to climate change — meaning fans paying record prices are increasingly likely to watch a less intense game. And while players have medical teams and cooling breaks, fans are often left to fend for themselves. While 3 of the 16 venues are air-conditioned, fans in queues, fan zones and on transport routes can be exposed to dangerous heat for hours — often far longer than the players on the pitch.
The International Federation of Association Football or FIFA (which is the governing body of world football), has done little to keep fans and players safe from obvious heat risks during World Cups. We’ve already seen the consequences when it doesn’t: In June 2024, an assistant referee collapsed during a Copa America match, while last year’s Club World Cup saw players and fans sheltering inside as heat again became a major point of concern. Despite this, FIFA has selected many stadiums without any shade, in locations that are not typically used for summer sports.
A group of experts recently told FIFA that it should do more to keep players and fans safe. They called for it to lower the temperature threshold at which matches are delayed. Currently, FIFA will only consider pausing play at 32°C (measured in Wet Bulb Globe Temperature or WBGT, a scale that accounts for heat, humidity and sun exposure together). That bar is so high that it wouldn’t be triggered at 45°C with 20% humidity, or 35°C with 80% humidity — conditions that would be dangerous for anyone, let alone athletes playing at full intensity. Seventy professional players have also publicly backed those calls. FIFA has added water breaks to all matches regardless of temperature — fundamentally altering the experience of the game — but experts say those breaks should be doubled to six minutes to properly protect players. Many fans have pointedly noted that FIFA may be equally motivated by the advertising slots these breaks create.
FIFA’s unserious attitude on heat risks extends to its broader engagement with the climate crisis. Despite holding a “green card for the planet” and committing to net-zero by 2040, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has massively expanded the tournament, and the pollution it will produce as a consequence. He has added an extra 16 teams and 60 matches, and spread the World Cup across North America so that huge amounts of flying are required. Researchers estimate the whole tournament will generate over 9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent worth of pollution.

Promoting Fossil Fuels to BillionsFIFA’s massive emissions are worsened by its sponsorship choices. It is reportedly earning about $100m per year to advertise the world’s largest oil company, Aramco. Billions of fans are therefore now receiving pro-oil messaging, just as we must urgently move away from fossil fuels.
Aramco is 98.5% owned by the Saudi state and is a dominant source of the regime’s funding, earning $33.6bn in the first quarter of this year. These profits have bankrolled Saudi Arabia’s recent push into world sport including football – often framed as part of its post-oil ‘Vision 2030’ diversification strategy. But the fact that Aramco is being globally promoted, (instead of any other non-oil enterprise) makes clear these sports investments are about protecting fossil fuel profits, not moving away from them. Sponsorships have helped promote Saudi Arabia and shielded it from criticism of its commitment to fossil fuels. It’s clear that the Aramco deal too is part of a broader pro-oil strategy that includes blocking climate talks and ‘hooking’ poorer countries on its oil.

Aramco has been given top billing, with its brand splashed around stadiums at kick off, including at the tournament opener. Notably, the fixture was a repeat of the 2010 World Cup, but nostalgic fans looking back to iconic images from that year might have noticed a surprising (and disturbing) difference. While the 2010 tournament was sponsored by solar energy, this one is promoting Big Oil. Aramco’s World Cup advertising centres around its supposed “innovation” ,but there is nothing innovative about drilling, extracting and burning fossil fuels. The real breakthroughs are in solar, battery storage and electric vehicles — technologies that are cleaner, cheaper and faster-growing than oil has ever been.

The Bigger Picture: Global Access to Sport Under ThreatThis summer, the heat impacts felt by football’s elite will be impossible to miss. But if the climate crisis is reaching its most well resourced event, then grassroots football, the foundation the whole game is built on, is surely being hit much harder. For every high-profile match affected by heat, there are thousands more unseen players around the world that are harmed by heat or flooding rain. FIFA profits billions from an ever-expanding tournament and big oil sponsorship — but it is ordinary fans and players who bear the cost, in dangerous heat and a worsening climate, without seeing any of the cash.

Climate Damage: the Ultimate Fan RipoffMany football fans feel our loyalty is being exploited. FIFA’s incessant focus on profit is stripping away the essence of our beloved game — and we must use this discontent, linked to the climate crisis, as a powerful opportunity for change.
The pattern of FIFA’s constant prioritisation of revenue over tradition and affordability is consistent. Unprecedented prices for match tickets, public transport and fan zones. Commercial “hydration” breaks inserted into matches. Fans banned from bringing their own water. Big oil on the stadium hoardings. Everything FIFA does turns up the heat for supporters while lining its own pockets. Its response to obvious heat risks at the next two World Cups hosted by Morocco, Spain and Portugal, and then Saudi Arabia, has been to float moving the tournament to winter, discarding decades of tradition rather than addressing the cause.
Hundreds of millions of fans have every reason to demand better. As heat impacts worsen and the costs of fossil fuels become impossible to ignore, football lovers have real power to push for a fundamental reset that puts players and fans before FIFA’s bottom line.

What Could Serious FIFA Climate Policy Look Like?FIFA claims its core mission is to “unite the world” by making football accessible to all. Delivering on that mission means putting the climate first, because we can’t play in dangerous heat or on a flooded field. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
- End the expansionist mentality. More teams, more matches, more flights means more pollution. Growth cannot come at the planet’s expense.
- Revise heat guidelines. Current thresholds don’t protect players or fans. FIFA must lower the bar for match delays and take welfare seriously.
- Ease the fixture calendar. An oversaturated schedule drives player burnout and unsafe conditions. Less is more.
- Drop the polluters. Sponsorship deals with oil companies like Aramco must give way to partnerships with clean, innovative industries.
- Put climate at the centre. Every decision FIFA makes should be guided by one question: does this make extreme weather worse?
The most popular sport on the planet needs to stop scoring ‘own goals’, and start playing for the right team.

Backbone of the coast
Standing in Tofino, looking out at the rainforest-covered mountains, you would never know that up the inlets, trouble is brewing…
Floating open-net pen fish farms dot the inlets. These facilities spread pathogens, parasites and poop, and are pushing wild salmon to the brink of extinction.
The crowded open net pen facilities do nothing to contain tiny viral particles or salmon lice. Most farms are infected with PRV, a deadly virus from the Atlantic ocean. Because fish breath through gills, it is dead-easy for a wild salmon migrating past to become infected. Salmon farms are parasite incubators. The lice pass freely through the nets to infest baby wild salmon, which are too young to have developed protective scales. One louse can be a fatal load…
Then there’s the poop and uneaten pellets. These simply drop out the bottom, smothering any creatures living on the ocean floor. One fish farm emits salmon sewage equivalent to a city of 150,000 people! And there are 20 fish farms in the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Region…
Removing fish farms works!On a good note, removing fish farms from the ocean works. Forty percent of salmon farms in BC waters have been removed since 2020, thanks to First Nations on the east coast of Vancouver Island.
And those Nations are being richly rewarded, with abundant returns of wild salmon. This has been going on since 2022, when the first Pink salmon runs not exposed to fish farms returned to their natal streams. And every cycle, they return in greater abundance!
More good news: the Canadian government has banned open-net pen salmon farms from BC waters as of July 1st, 2029. This winter, the Federal Court of Appeal upheld the Minister’s right to use the precautionary principle when making decisions, noting the dire consequences that declining wild salmon stocks could have for First Nations rights, the economy, and the social fabric of British Columbia.
Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations stopped the loggers on Meares Island in 1985. During Clayoquot Summer 1993, nearly a thousand people chose to commit civil disobedience to protect ancestral forests. It paid off—30 years later, local First Nations were able to announce with the BC government that 62% of their territories is protected from industrial logging. Now it’s time to ensure wild salmon will continue to feed these rainforests for years to come!
130 First Nations want salmon farms removed from the ocean—along with 75% of British Columbians. Washington State has banned fish farms. BC is now the only jurisdiction on the west coast of North America allowing fish farms in the ocean.
As someone who loves, visits, or lives on the west coast, you have an opportunity to take a stand for wild salmon. Take action, no matter how small. Refuse to purchase farmed salmon—always ask your server ‘is your salmon wild or farmed?’. Please take a moment to sign our petition, reminding government officials that people like you care about protecting Nature.
Dan Lewis is Executive Director of Clayoquot Action.
