FIFA World Cup™ in the Upland Metaverse
In This Story: metaverseA metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. In futurism and science fiction, the term is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets. The metaverse is something which many in the early 2020s are actively engaged in developing: an entirely online, virtual and alternative reality, in which people will be able to conduct many forms of business and social interaction – virtually. The movement towards a metaverse gathered significant pace and attention when Facebook’s parent company rebranded itself to “meta” in 2021. 5 Recent Items: metaverse

Big Tobacco's last ditch campaign - 'cynical and dangerous'
Monday, 7 August, 2023 - 14:49Health Coalition Aotearoa (HCA) says a dangerous and cynical "save our stores" campaign paid for by tobacco companies is designed to undermine legislation which will save thousands of lives. Radio New Zealand reported the campaign appeared to be driven by dairy owners but was in fact "proudly supported" by tobacco companies - a fact that was not obvious to readers. The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Amendment Bill, which came into effect on Jan 1 aims to achieve the Smoke-free 2025 goal of fewer than 5 per cent of people smoking. HCA co-chair Lisa Te Morenga said the campaign showed tobacco companies could never be trusted to put health - and lives - ahead of profits. "Tupeka Kore (tobacco free) is the goal Māori set as a direct result of the inquiry into the devastating impact that tobacco products have had on Māori."
