Lost at sea
Two men from the Solomon Islands have been rescued after spending 29 days lost at sea.
The men 21 (travel) to another island when heavy rain and wind took them out to sea. The two men survived on oranges they had packed, coconuts they found in the sea and by gathering rainwater.

Nanjikana and Junior Qoloni took off from Mono Island on Sept. 3 in a motorboat to travel 200 km to Noro on New Georgia Island. However, soon after they set out, their boat was hit by heavy winds and rain, which made unclear the coastline they were following 23 a guide.
“When the bad weather came, it was bad, but it was 24 (bad) and became scary when the GPS died,” he said. “We couldn’t see where we were going and so we just decided to stop the engine and wait 25 (save) fuel.”
When the rain had finally passed, Nanjikana and Qoloni had already drifted far out to sea. They spent the next 29 days 26 (live) off of limited supplies and by gathering rainwater with 27 they could make use of to keep themselves alive.
A fisherman found and rescued the two men on Oct. 2 off the coast of New Britain, Papua New Guinea, about 400 km from 28 they had started.

Plans revealed for high-tech “10-minute city” in Seoul
The idea of a “15-minute city”, in which residents can all reach work and leisure facilities within a quarter-hour walk — or cycle — of their homes, has gained 31 attention among urban planners during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Now, a group of architects is planning an even more 32 neighborhood in South Korea's capital, Seoul: a 10-minute city.
Named “Project H1”, the development is set to transform an old industrial site into a(n) 33 “smart” city. Combining eight residential buildings with co-working offices and study spaces, the 125-acre district is also set to 34 entertainment sites, fitness centers, swimming pools and even urban farms.
Designed by Dutch architecture firm UNStudio and backed by a real estate firm, the neighborhood will also be completely car-free. A press release for the project claimed that “all the conveniences of the city” will be within a 10-minute walk of people’s homes.
In a statement, UNStudio co-founder Ben van Berkel said that residents’ “daily life experience” is the project’s “top priority”.
“We do this through the 35 of a rich density of uplifting, on-site experiences that provide an extensive range of options for how they can spend their living, working and leisure time, thereby also 36 them the time needed to travel elsewhere in the city,” he is quoted as saying.
A spokesperson for UNStudio 37 that project has been green-lit but did not reveal when it is likely to break ground.
The architects also said that clean energy will be produced on site, while systems to capture and store rain are being designed to reduce water use.
Critics have suggested that the concept could cause urban renewal by further 38 wealth in the most accessible and convenient districts. The 39 of “15-minute” neighborhoods may, in turn, result in home prices that 40 low-income and marginalized communities. But the Covid-19 pandemic has seen growing interest in the concept.
