Narberth School pupils artwork greets visitors to museum
As part of the Anti-Racist Action Plan for Wales, the signs have been funded by Welsh Government. Dr Marian Gwyn, the heritage consultant who leads on anti-racist work in Welsh museums, approached the museum with the opportunity and it was decided by the museum to work with the school to create a series of images to depict 'welcome to all'. Jayne Edwards, the museum education co-ordinator, worked with the schools to create the wonderful images for the museum. Dr Gwyn said: "I'm thrilled to see Narberth Museum's fantastic use of Welsh Government funds to create this inclusive welcome panel. 'Designed by local primary school pupils, this colourful masterpiece celebrates the richness of human diversity, sending a powerful message of welcome to every visitor who steps through the museum's doors." The project was led by museum volunteer Mark Lewis, who has previously worked with Dr Gwyn on various anti-racist projects. The children's artworkhas been praised as 'a colourful masterpiece'. (Image: Gareth Davies Photography) Mark said: 'This project was a joy from beginning to end. It shows how museums have both the responsibility and opportunity to work towards celebrating diversity. 'Narberth Museum offers a warm welcome to everyone and these signs now make that explicitly evident. The museum is grateful to Dr Gwyn for giving us the opportunity to be part of this important project.' Museum curator Pauline Griffiths added: 'Working with our local school was fantastic and the children should be proud of what they have achieved. 'These impactful signs really show how much of a community organisation the museum is and how the doors are open to all of our visitors. We are delighted to have been a part of this important project.' Dylan Parry Evans, the graphic designer who created the final versions of the signs, said:"It's been a real joy turning the children's vibrant and colourful drawings into a piece that celebrates the spirit and diversity of our community." One large sign will be placed in the museum foyer to make a bold statement of warm welcome, while two street signs will stand outside the museum and in a location within the town.

CorgiAI Launches AI-Backed PAWS on Cronos to Streamline Community Proposals
AI-powered web3 platform CorgiAI has announced the launch of PAWS, a community-led initiative inviting the Cronos community to submit strategic proposals for improving the Cronos chain ecosystem. The campaign gives participants the opportunity to share their insights and recommendations for enhancing the Cronos ecosystem. To maximize participation and proposal quality, PAWS will take the form of an incentivized program. During the course of the campaign from 2 - 16 July, the top 10 contributors will be selected based on proposal quality and impact. AI messenger Corgi President will evaluate submissions based on a range of criteria including innovation, feasibility, technical merit and potential ecosystem impact. The event is designed to directly engage the community in the development of Cronos. Inviting Cronos users and builders to share their insights enables them to voice their ideas and have a say in the future direction of its growing ecosystem. Anyone who holds $CORGIAI can participate in the event, using their tokens to submit proposals here: Gwyn, founder of CorgiAI said: 'PAWS layers on an AI engine that listens to every community insight, scores each submission and surfaces the gems. It's the simplest way to turn collective intelligence into concrete upgrades. Our Corgi President AI evaluates each proposal on merit, but the creativity comes from Cronos users themselves. Together we're building a feedback loop where great ideas rise quickly and Cronos keeps setting the pace for user-centric chains' 'The Cronos network has improved greatly over the past year, aided by infra developments that have slashed gas fees by 10x and reduced block times by a corresponding amount to deliver sub-second performance. Now it's time to match that technical progress with user-driven innovation — and that's exactly what PAWS is here to unlock.' The use of the Corgi President AI messenger allows for timely responses to proposals, keeping community members informed every step of the way. Not only does this system provide a forum for Cronos users to express their ideas, but it empowers Cronos developers and builders who can contribute their own ideas for improvements. CorgiAI's previous campaigns have attracted significant network-wide interest including 'Who's POTUS,' which tasked users with predicting the outcome of the US presidential election, and AI agent game Bark4Bonus. The PAWS campaign is open to $CORGIAI token-holders, who currently number around 50,000, and who have staked more than 10 billion tokens onchain. The PAWS campaign will provide an efficient system for gathering community proposals and spotlighting ideas that have the potential to strengthen the Cronos network. This will help to improve the Cronos ecosystem, giving core developers an insight into areas for improvement and strengthening Cronos for the benefit of all users. About CorgiAI Corgi AI is the leading community memecoin on Cronos and a top 20 memecoin by market cap across all chains. Backed by Cronos Labs as part of the Cronos Accelerator Program, CorgiAI is creating a growing ecosystem of AI products powered by its native token that provides new opportunities for community engagement.

Atlanta Falcons post-draft position preview: Center
The Atlanta Falcons should benefit from continuity on offense this season with 10 of 11 starters set to return in 2025. However, center Drew Dalman signed a lucrative deal with the Chicago Bears on the opening day of NFL free agency, leaving a hole in the middle of Atlanta's offensive line. Since the team didn't add a center in the draft, the Falcons will look to veteran backup Ryan Neuzil to step up in 2025. After starting eight games last season, Neuzil will enter the year as the starter for the first time in his NFL career. Advertisement In today's post-draft preview, we examine the center position, including depth chart, salary cap space and available free agents. Center depth chart Ryan Neuzil Jovaughn Gwyn Matthew Cindric Michael Gonzalez As you can see above, there's no real threat or competition for Neuzil at center. Gwyn is a former seventh-round pick and has only appeared in two career games. Cindric is a former undrafted free agent who spent his first year in Minnesota. The Falcons signed Gonzalez is an undrafted free agent out of Louisville while they waited for Neuzil to sign his contract. 2025 salary cap hits Neuzil: $3,263,000 Gwyn: $1,030,000 Cindric: $840,000 Gonzalez: $840,000 The Falcons signed Neuzil to a two-year, $9.5 million deal in late May. His 2025 salary cap hit is $3.2 million, which isn't bad for a starting offensive lineman. Gwyn has the second-highest cap hit of the team's centers at $1 million this season. Cindric and Gonzalez are outside of the Falcons' top 51 players in terms of salary cap this season ($840,000 apiece). Top free agents available David Andrews (retired) Nick Harris Dan Feeney Nick Gates Advertisement The free-agent center market leaves a lot to be desired. It's clear why the team felt bringing back Neuzil was its best option. Former Patriots center David Andrews would have been a good option but he opted to retire following his release. Dan Feeney and Nick Gates are a few low-end options the team could consider if they don't like their current group. Predictions/expectations for 2025 Neuzil is a former undrafted free agent who's spent his entire career as a backup. He played well in place of Dalman last season and now it's his time to shine. While Neuzil doesn't have much experience, he's in a good spot playing between Pro Bowl guard Chris Lindstrom and former second-round pick Matthew Bergeron. If Neuzil doesn't get the job done this season, perhaps the team will give Gwyn a look.

Picking a Marine to run Navy shows China that Britain is serious about amphibious warfare
The appointment of Gen Sir Gwyn Jenkins, a Royal Marines officer, as head of the Royal Navy is a massive vote of confidence in the 'Future Commando Force' concept by the Prime Minister and Ministry of Defence (MoD) The First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff, to give Gen Sir Gwyn his full title, is responsible for commanding the 'dark blue' part of the Navy – the ships, submarines and aircraft that project Britain's global maritime power (which has admittedly been eroded by decades of underfunding). But he also commands the 6,000 or so Royal Marines who are expected to storm enemy beaches once safely delivered to combat zones by their sister organisation. The problem in recent years has been twofold. First, that phrase, 'safely delivered'. With modern anti-ship missiles able to reach hundreds of miles out to sea and ubiquitous surveillance from satellites and drones, just getting to the fight has been seen in recent years as a huge problem, one which has focused the minds of those in the Ministry of Defence who wear Royal Navy uniforms. The second problem causing some angst to Britain's naval planners – and particularly those from the Royal Marines – has been how to fight in territory held (or dominated) by an enemy force, even if our own troops can make it safely to the shore. These two issues have led to the development of the Future Commando Force concept: an amphibious group able to defend itself at sea, project force onto land and take the fight to the enemy once ashore. Finding a way to do this effectively in the face of fearsome (mainly Chinese) capabilities that can render such an outfit irrelevant has taken considerable teamwork from both sides of the Navy. Gen Sir Gwyn is seen as the perfect champion to lead this work, having a foot in both camps and a deep understanding of the capabilities of each in the face of a challenge that is worsening daily. Senior Royal Navy officers have already told The Telegraph that Gen Sir Gwyn's appointment is a positive endorsement of the Future Commando Force concept. It marks a significant uptick in the fortunes of the Royal Marines. With the UK re-focused on global conflict after the expeditionary years in Iraq and Afghanistan, some analysts had cautioned that the days of amphibious forces were over. Power projection, they argued, would come from the air, through long-range precision missiles and drones knocking out enemy defences. Regular infantry from the Army could then be dropped off by friendly naval ships to march into the newly-acquired territory. What would the point be of expensive specialised amphibious troops such as the Royal Marines, if the concept of surviving, let alone fighting one's way into such an environment had been rendered irrelevant by technology? To accept that maxim, however, would be an act of self-deterrence and an endorsement of one of the key theories of Sun Tzu as he wrote in The Art of War. The ancient Chinese philosopher theorised that the supreme art of war was to subdue the enemy without fighting. He advocated achieving victory through strategic manoeuvring, diplomacy and the display of military might to make an enemy force decide it was not worth fighting in the first place. The Future Commando Force has looked at this problem and decided against self-deterrence. It is believed that small, aggressive groups, highly supported by technology such as secure communications, drones and radars, and operating in concert when required can get inside an area dominated by an enemy force (under the somewhat clunkily titled Anti-Access/Area Denial, or A2AD, umbrella) and project sufficient power to hold on until heavier forces arrive. Such a force does not come cheap, however, and will require some reorganisation not just of the Navy and Marines, but also Britain's Army, which would be required to offer supporting functions. Cash and the desire for more tinkering with the organisation chart are currently in short supply. However, it is an idea very much in line with current thinking in the US Marine Corps (if not totally bought-into yet by the wider US Navy), the cousins alongside whom Britain's commando forces, based around a core of Royal Marines, might have to fight if China decided to test Taiwan's defences and the world's appetite to reject military conquest. Britain's maritime planners – both Navy and Marine – hope the 'Future' part of the concept will be jettisoned in the Government's long-delayed Strategic Defence Review, currently inching tortuously towards publication this summer. The endorsement of the Prime Minister, through the appointment of Gen Sir Gwyn, suggests that is a likely scenario. The US, and China, will have taken note.
