Yesterday I attended Feli Nandi's show at Hard Rock Café in Sandton, Johannesburg — and what a night it was. The show was epic. Just when we thought the legacy of voices like Chiwosino Maraire was gone, Feli reminded us that the genre lives on. https://x.com/NandiFeli?t=p7yxFWzqtvHM6HD13b-QPg&s=08 Feli Nandi is the real deal. The woman is good — her voice, her energy, her ever-smiling presence lit up the whole stage. She’s a true people’s person. The crowd fed off her vibe and she gave it right back. Flanked by friends and fellow artists like Joe Thomas (yes, the Joe Thomas of “I Wanna Know”), Makhadzi and others, she held her own and more. It’s worth it to attend her shows — you leave feeling uplifted. She performed to a fully packed café. Zimbabweans came out strong to support the gig. Some were dressed traditionally, proudly showing off culture. I remember one couple in matching colors — it was beautiful to see. Feli herself was dressed in white, glowing under the lig...

This Solar-Powered Drone Can Fly At 70,000 Feet For A Whole Year
Engineers in Britain have built a solar-powered drone that possesses a 115 feet wingspan and is capable of being in the air for a whole year with ease.
Reported first by Daily Mail, the aircraft is being touted as an alternative to lower Earth orbit satellites that are really common today.
The aircraft that’s currently referred to as PHASA-35 is the creation of BAE systems, situated in Warton, Lancashire in collaboration with engineers from tech SME Prismatic.The aircraft successfully completed its maiden flight in Australia in February this year.
The team is now gearing up the aircraft to fly higher into the stratosphere this summer in the US. It is expected to be an important feat for the PHASA-35 aircraft.
The aircraft has been designed to operate without a pilot on board in the stratosphere above the weather and location of conventional air traffic. The payload design too is flexible allowing the aircraft to be equipped with a bunch of sensors to allow a detailed, accurate coverage of a fixed location.
Moreover, the payload can also be reduced to allow the aircraft to fly higher whereas a group of such aircraft can fly in a constellation, similar to SpaceX’s Starlink, providing internet connectivity in a remote location.
The solar panels are laid out on the top of the drone. As per the company’s claims, they operate at around 30 percent efficiency -- almost close to the top end available with existing technology.
During the day, the aircraft would run from the sun’s radiation while charging a set of ‘off the shelf’ commercial batteries on the plane that would equip the aircraft to fly at night. The aircraft would also have the option to reduce the altitude to save battery life.
Apart from acting as an internet satellite in lower Earth orbit, the aircraft is also capable of helping predict forest fire in time before it breaks out, as well as disaster relief, border protection, maritime and military surveillance.
