Facial Recognition For Sheep?

A Dunedin company has announced that they are developing facial recognition for sheep. This kind of equipment is out of this world, its way in the future. The piece of technology will help farmers remember their sheeps.

The project has now received $40,000 grand from Callaghan Innovation and the company is aiming to prototype the software this year. I think that is project may have some issues but might also be fun!  

FIRE!🔥

A major fire has hit Auckland's Sky City Convention Centre. The large flames and chemical spills began on Tuesday mid-afternoon and might still be carrying on right this moment. 

St Johns have spoken saying that one person has been admitted to Auckland City Hospital in a critical condition. Skycity has evacuated people in the Sky tower, casino and all Skycity hotels, restaurant and corporate offices.

Hopefully the firefighters do stop this tragic mess!

Local Elections!

Regions in New Zealand have completed their Local Body Elections for 2019. During these elections, regions in New Zealand vote for who they want as their mayor, city councillors, and district health boards.

Wellingtons mayoral race was good with Andy Forster beating incumbent Justin Lester. While Phil Goff remained mayor of Auckland beating John Tamihere. 

As a surprise 19 year old Fisher Wang was elected into the Rotorua Lakes Council making him the youngest ever voted into local government in NZ

Endeavour Sails Around New Zealand

A realistic replica of Captain Cooks ship the endeavour has continued it's journey around New Zealand. The replica of the ship is part of a flotilla known as Tuia 250 that has been sailing around New Zealand in memory of Captain Cooks arrival in New Zealand.

Over in the holidays the replica ship docked in Gisborne where Captain Cook saw this part and named the cove Poverty Bay. Although some people were excited for the ship to dock in their bay the local Maori community were not happy with this.

Some cities didn't allow the ship to dock there because their local Maori community says that its Maori area. I think they should let the replica ship dock because Captain Cook named most the land in New Zealand.

Greta Thunberg Fights For Climate Change!

Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg has made a inspirational speech to the world leaders at UN saying that they failed to act on climate change. "You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words" she spoke in front of the crowd. 

I think that the words she spoke were inspirational to younger and older people around the world. Not only are the words coming from her mouth its coming from her heart. 

I'm fairly certain that more younger people are going to stand up for climate change and actually care more than the UN climate summit in New York!
