What a lovely project! Well done #Norway.

[dominic dyer @domdyer70]

In Norway 🇳🇴, where melting Arctic ice threatens wildlife survival, scientists and engineers have developed an extraordinary solution: floating ice platforms designed especially for seals.

These seal-friendly pods drift with the ocean currents, providing safe resting and breeding grounds as natural sea ice continues to disappear. Built from biodegradable, non-toxic composites reinforced with natural fibers, the platforms mimic the thermal properties of real ice while staying buoyant and durable for years.

Each platform is equipped with small grooves to prevent slipping and features an insulated core that stays cool under the Arctic sun. Some even integrate smart sensors to monitor seal populations and track environmental conditions, providing researchers with invaluable data without disturbing the animals.

For seal pups, these platforms can mean survival. Instead of being stranded far from safe resting areas, they have a place to nurse, grow, and learn to swim. For adults, the pods reduce the exhausting search for scarce sea ice and protect vital breeding cycles.

Norway’s floating platforms are more than engineering — they are symbols of hope, proving that human innovation can directly support species under threat. In a rapidly changing Arctic, every safe patch of ice could mean the difference between survival and decline.

Seems like the @Translink_NI train cleaning sockets are just for show. 10:45am and the carriage is stinking. Can’t imagine what tourists think when they arrive to carpeted trains that are filthy. Not to mention the erratic driver I had up on the Belfast Express this morning 🤮

Wish @RATW_official would post the itineraries so that people could try routes for themselves. Obviously the jobs wouldn’t be applicable but I’d definitely have a bash at one of the routes. Love #RaceAcrossTheWorld

Remembering @hayleycampbell & @scottygb #bbcmustwatch saying about watching #Rivals in public. The poor girl sat next to me on my flight dropped her phone in the panic of trying to switch it off during an amorous sex scene. Phone landed in the aisle which then everyone looked at!

Got a letter from the DVLA to say my fully electric car will have to pay road tax next year. I’m fine with paying something but why is it more expensive than some diesel and petrol cars? Any incentive for those on the fence about going electric has been stripped away. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Adam Wilkinson @AdamIrish]

Hired a car from @Avis in #Naxos and the employee was so aggressive. Day 1 (today) a supermarket worker dented the door and accepted responsibility. Avis said it’s my fault. Not a pleasant experience and will not be hiring from Avis ever again #worldwide #greece #holiday #avis

[ScreenSkills @UKScreenSkills]

The ScreenSkills #HETVSkillsFund supported career workshops in a School Roadshow led by @Cinemagic across eight NI schools. Launched in December at @SlemishCollege, #Ballymena, these sessions connected students with industry pros like @AdamIrish, exploring diverse careers in HETV

@NewPOGuy Paying a rate bill (NI council tax). Which I ended up doing over the phone. Trying to support local services but it makes it difficult when silly barriers like this are in place.

[Adam Wilkinson @AdamIrish]

The fact @PostOffice classes a @monzo business current account debit card as a credit card is ridiculous. Even last year with my normal #monzo they wouldn’t let me pay for a service.

@gearoidmurphy_ Try the film industry, contracted hrs are 55 per week min, that doesn’t include travel to & from work - can be 1hr e/w, contracted prep & wrap period at the start/end of the day which is another 90mins. Then you have “discretionary” OT. 70% of M-F is working. 🥵

Excited to share that I've been shortlisted for Videographer of the Year at the CIPR Northern Ireland Media Awards 2024! 📽️👊 Good luck to all my talented colleagues who made the shortlist too. @BelTel @Kscott_94 @KirstenElder

[Adam Wilkinson @AdamIrish]

@marigoldmoment Well done to this organisation for snapping you up. You’re amazing at any role you take on.

[Adam Wilkinson @AdamIrish]

This made me laugh when watching. Wonder what Eve is talking about @everosatoTV

[cat mac @craicaleavey]

Do you reckon the BBC NI news presenter Eve Rosato was watching Traitors and was calling Harry's comment about putting Diane in her place 'so offensive?' when it accidentally cut to her? Haha We love a BBC news accident @scottygb @imshanereaction
