This post challenges dominant media narratives that frame Tuvalu solely through the lens of climate loss and inevitable disappearance. The authors — both employed on Tuvalu's Digital Nation project — argue that initiatives like the Falepili Union Treaty and the Digital Nation are consistently misrepresented as symbols of doom, when they are in fact driven by hope, creativity and practical adaptation. Drawing on personal experience and community interviews, they show how the Digital Nation preserves culture, improves government services for Tuvaluans who remain in Tuvalu and represents proactive resilience rather than retreat. **AI Generation Score: 2/10** — Strong personal voice, specific cultural detail and advocacy tone suggest primarily human authorship.

Para la elaboración de los galardones BAFTA, los artesanos utilizan una técnica de fundición en arena con la que fabrican anualmente 350 trofeos La aclamada música de la escena final de 'Hamnet' que se ha utilizado en todas estas películas y series BAFTA, los premios más importantes del cine británico y que son una de las antesalas antes de los Oscars. Una ceremonia que tendrá lugar en el Royal Festival Hall del Southbank Centre, en Londres, y que será conducida por el actor Alan Cumming. Las grandes favoritas de la noche coinciden con algunas de las que se espera que puedan ganar estatuilla en los Oscars, desde “Una batalla tras otra”, “Hamnet” o “Marty Supreme”. Una de estas películas y sus actores protagonistas, entre otros miembros del equipo podrían obtener uno de los galardones de bronce de tres kilos con la figura de una máscara, y que se fabrican de forma artesanal. El trabajo artesanal detrás de los premios BAFTA Los premiados con un BAFTA obtienen un trofeo hecho de bronce de fósforo, que se pule hasta obtener un acabado espejo en el que los ganadores pueden ver reflejado su rostro, que se combina así con la máscara. Los encargados de realizarlo son los artesanos de la fundición AATI, situada en Braintree, a aproximadamente 80 kilómetros al noreste de Londres. Así es la fabricación de las famosas máscaras de los BAFTA En su elaboración, los artesanos tienen especial cuidado de que las máscaras resultantes sean brillantes, pero también que no contengan restos de esmalte, y que esto pueda dañar algún vestido o traje de algún premiado, que reconocen es uno de los mayores temores que tienen los que los fabrican cada vez que ven la gala, según recoge Associated Press en un reportaje. Los trofeos BAFTA se crean en lotes y cada uno de ellos lleva aproximadamente una semana hasta que el trabajo está completo, según confirma el director de la fundición encargada, Hugh Bisset en el reportaje de Associated Press. El proceso comienza con un patrón elaborado por el equipo de mecánica, a menudo de madera o mediante impresión 3D. Al principio el resultado son unas máscaras con unas superficies opacas y ásperas en los bordes, pero se terminan de completar. “Hay mucho metal en ella”, pero cada máscara también tiene “mucho tiempo y amor invertido en ella”, dijo Bisset a Associated Press al describir el proceso de creación de los premios BAFTA.

(The Center Square) - Attorney General Kris Mayes appealed the Arizona Corporation Commission's ruling that allowed Tucson Electric Power and Beale Infrastructure to enter into an energy supply agreement. In her appeal Thursday at Maricopa County Superior Court, Mayes said the ACC did not follow Arizona law when it approved an agreement to provide 286 megawatts of electricity to the Pima County data center. "The ACC cannot give away the constitutional authority Arizonans entrusted to it,” Mayes said. She added that the ACC “does not have the power to let a utility and a data center operator quietly agree to set their own rates, cut the public out of the process, and call it a day.” “If we allow that here, we are telling every large energy customer in Arizona that they can negotiate sweetheart rates outside of public oversight — and ordinary Arizonans will be left to pick up the tab," Mayes explained. The attorney general claimed that, in this instance, the ACC did not follow its constitutional authority to determine rates by allowing private parties to adjust rate schedules without oversight. Richie Taylor, the communications director for Mayes, told The Center Square by email that “the only way we can ensure that ratepayers are being treated fairly is through the transparent oversight framework intended by our state’s founders.” In addition, Mayes said, the ACC “abdicated its constitutional and statutory duty to ensure that a public service corporation’s rates are just and reasonable.” The ACC can’t approve future rate changes unless it determines the future rates will follow the state constitution’s “just and reasonable” principle, the attorney general said. According to Mayes, the ACC can approve special contracts between a public service corporation and a customer, but for these agreements to allow these entities to “change the rate schedule for electric service without further Commission approval is an unreasonable practice.” The legal filing stated when these entities are allowed to change rates without proper ACC approval, it prevents the established ratemaking process, public notice, interested party intervention, evidentiary hearings and cross-examination. Taylor told The Center Square it was important for ACC to follow the public process “because that is what is required under the state constitution which was designed to protect Arizonans from monopolistic power.” He said the “ACC’s constitutional role is to protect ratepayers and ensure that the state’s regulated monopoly utilities can attract capital needed to maintain grid reliability and provide reliable service to Arizonans.” “Allowing large energy users to cut deals behind closed doors with a monopoly utility without public transparency is no way to go about achieving those goals,” Taylor explained. In this case, Mayes requested a judge overrule the agreement between Tucson Electric Power and Beale Infrastructure.
