Description:
Did you know, Nugent's Wood, Portaferry, Co Down, is also known as the Bluebell Wood?<br/>Last week during the fine sunny weather that we were having Darryl Armitage nipped down to Portaferry to capture the bluebells at Nugent's Wood.<br/>Reminding us of the fleeting beauty of nature, Bluebell season doesn't last too long so don't miss your chance to see them and breath in the delicate scent at Nugent's Wood.<br/>Bluebells Facts<br/>Almost half the world's bluebells are found in the UK – they’re relatively rare elsewhere.<br/>It's against the law to intentionally pick, uproot or destroy bluebells.<br/>Bluebell colonies take a long time to establish – around five to seven years from seed to flower.<br/>Bluebells can take years to recover after footfall damage. If a bluebell’s leaves are crushed, they die back from lack of food because they can no longer photosynthesise.<br/>If you plant bluebells in your garden, make sure you're planting the English bluebell, not the Spanish version. The Spanish species is a more vigorous plant and could outcompete the UK's native flower.

It’s about time something changed.”<br/>At the start of the week, the Wales Coast Award winners for 2024 were announced, spotlighting coastal sites achieving supposed ‘high standards’ required to receive what is meant to be a ‘prestigious’ Blue Flag.<br/>Preseli Pembrokeshire was polluted by sewage 7,659 times in 2023, lasting 91,401 hours - that's 10.58 years!<br/>Monitoring was disabled in some locations, so even more sewage could have found its way into our waters last year.<br/>Kate Evans of Planet CIC - one of the organisers of the protest, said: “The event was great - we were really pleased with the turn out.”<br/>Surfers Against Sewage has also created the ‘End Sewage Pollution Manifesto’ which has five very clear, key solutions to end sewage pollution and will be pushing the next Government to adopt their demands and give them their full backing.<br/><br/>Pic: Peter Bounds<br/>Video: Planet CIC")

_ai-needs-blockchain-technology-to-become-more-secure-and-democratic-analyst-says-124-future-focus.webp "<p>In this week's episode of Yahoo Finance Future Focus, our host Brian McGleenon spoke to Outlier Ventures Research Lead Jasper De Maere who underscored the need for integrating blockchain technology with artificial intelligence (AI) applications to tackle prevalent issues of security, privacy, and centralisation. De Maere pointed out the vulnerabilities in the current state of the internet (web2), particularly concerning data privacy and security practices within AI. He advocated for the synergistic potential of combining blockchain and AI, envisioning a future internet in a better state. De Maere also delved into the challenges posed by AI-generated art and its impact on intellectual property (IP) rights. To address this, he proposed the use of blockchain as a transparent and immutable database for storing IP information, ensuring the integrity and authenticity of AI-generated content. Moreover, De Maere highlighted the role of blockchain in democratizing access to AI tools by decentralizing storage infrastructure, fostering equitable value extraction from data.</p>")
