Conservation trust calls on Government to reject Flamingo Land plans
The head of Woodland Trust Scotland (WTS) has written to the Scottish Government to express the organisation's 'profound disappointment' after the Planning and Environmental Appeals Division (DPEA) reporter recommended allowing the Yorkshire-based theme park operator's appeal to the rejected planning proposal. In September 2024, Flamingo Land Ltd, had their planning permission in principle for the multi-million-pound water park rejected by all 14 board members of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs Planning Authority. Following the Scottish Government Reporter's decision last week, Flamingo Land will be allowed to proceed to the next stage of planning and scrutiny and reach an agreement with the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority. READ MORE: UN warns 14,000 babies could die within 48 hours if Israel doesn't end Gaza blockade However, WTS's director, Alastair Seaman, has called on the Scottish Government to meet with the trust to discuss rejecting the Flamingo Land proposals 'once and for all' in a letter to the Public Finance Minister, Ivan McKee. Seaman wrote: 'We consider this development would have an entirely unacceptable impact on precious ancient woodland, through both direct loss and adverse impact on its ecological condition. 'The boat house element of the proposals would result in permanent and irreversible loss of woodland that cannot be compensated for through new planting - a point we made strongly at the public hearing. Ancient woodland is irreplaceable. 'Significant new development like this will expose the woodlands and their wildlife to indirect impacts that will both immediately, and gradually, degrade the ecosystem. These woods are sensitive sites that are vulnerable to change and the wildlife species that rely on them are often slow to adapt to change.' (Image: Flamingo Land) Seaman continued, saying he found it 'quite incredible' that the Scottish Government Reporter would recommend allowing the loss of ancient woodland in a National Park. He added that the development would be 'completely at odds' with the Scottish Government's plans to protect the country's National Parks biodiversity along with its ancient woodland and peat bogs. In one example the WTS boss said the Scottish Government Reporter showed 'worrying failure to grasp' the difference between the benefits ancient woodlands provide to biodiversity in comparison to new woodland or what he called 'compensatory planting'. Seaman's letter continued: 'Our view is that the reporter's conclusions are deeply flawed.' He added: 'There is a great deal more we can say about why the 'Flamingo Land' appeal should be rejected once and for all - in line with the carefully considered conclusion of the LLTNPA board, SEPA, the National Trust for Scotland, Woodland Trust Scotland, cross Party MSPs, and 155,000 members of the public, who signed a petition led by an elected Parliamentarian representing the area. 'We would be delighted to meet with you and your officials in the coming weeks to expand on our reasoning - we would be grateful to hear from your officials on this point.' Developers behind the £40 million proposal said it could create more than 100 holiday lodges, two hotels, a waterpark, a monorail, 372 car parking spaces, shops, and more on the site called Lomond Banks. Planning permission in principle will be subject to a legal agreement being reached. The final decision has therefore been deferred for the period detailed in the Notice of Intention to allow the conclusion of that agreement.

Within 5 years, '70% of skills used in most jobs will change,' LinkedIn report says—how you can keep up
AI will upend much of how we function in the workplace — at least according to new LinkedIn data. "By 2030, 70% of skills used in most jobs will change," says Andrew Seaman, LinkedIn news editor at large for jobs and career development. LinkedIn determined which skills are used in most jobs by combining the skills companies are currently listing in job descriptions and skills individuals are listing in their profiles. They then made their calculations considering historical shifts in skills and projections around AI-replicable skills. Seaman doesn't think these skills will be replaced altogether. Instead, they'll evolve. And other experts agree. "As technology continues to change the way we work, everyone must be aware as to what is evolving to keep their skills relevant and marketable," says Stacie Haller, chief career advisor at Resume Builder. Here's what jobseekers should keep in mind. In the near future, employers will use AI "to enhance" their workers' abilities, says Seaman. "You may not need to do data entry anymore," says Seaman as an example. "But you may need to do data management." Similarly, prompt engineering might not be necessary down the line. "It might be management of AI prompts and [large language models]" instead, he says. The menial tasks could be done by AI and the oversight and organization of those tasks could be taken on by people. Not all jobs will be similarly affected. Manual labor or live performance, for example, likely won't be impacted as heavily. But in jobs like software engineer, web designer and casher, AI will take the tasks people have been doing and make people more productive by enabling them to complete more tasks throughout the workday. Down the line, "maybe one person can do the job of several," says Seaman. As tasks evolve with tech, there are several things you can do to make sure you're keeping up. Read skills in demand lists on sites like LinkedIn, Upwork and Indeed to see what employers are looking for. If there are skills that seem relevant or interesting, "start adding them to your routine of learning" by taking different tutorials or even a class, says Seaman. If there's someone in your life who has that skill, you can also see if they're willing to teach you. The bottom line is "people need to get used to change at this point," he says. "That's how they can stay competitive in the workforce going forward."

Long time Falls lawyer gets jail term for stealing from clients
LOCKPORT — A once prominent Falls attorney left the Niagara County courthouse in Lockport in handcuffs on Wednesday. New York State Court officers put the cuffs on Robert Koryl after Erie County Court Judge Suzanne Maxwell Barnes, sitting in as an acting Niagara County Court judge, sentenced him to a 6-month jail term, followed by 5 years of probation, for his conviction on charges accusing him of stealing cash from his clients. He could have faced a possible prison term of up to seven years. Koryl is also required to repay $169,063 in restitution to his affected clients and he will be stripped of his license to practice law. He had been serving a term of interim probation, in an effort to give him time to pay back the clients he stole from. But prosecutors said he has so far paid back little, if any, of the stolen money. Koryl, 69, of Youngstown, pleaded guilty in August to two counts of third-degree grand larceny and two counts of fourth-degree grand larceny in connection to the alleged theft of client funds as part of a plea deal with Niagara County prosecutors. He admitted to stealing cash from his clients that was supposed to be held in his attorney trust fund. A Niagara County grand jury originally returned a six-count indictment that charged Koryl with one count of first-degree scheme to defraud, two counts of second-degree grand larceny, two counts of third-degree grand larceny and one count of fourth-degree grand larceny. He pleaded not guilty to those charges. Koryl had been free on his own recognizance prior to his sentencing. Niagara County District Attorney Brian Seaman said the case represented a violation of the public's trust. 'When people go to a lawyer's office to deal with complicated financial matters, they put themselves in the trust of that person,' Seaman said. 'An embezzlement by a lawyer is not just a theft, it is also a violation of a fiduciary duty that does harm to the (legal) profession as a whole.' Koryl practiced out of a Pine Avenue law office and his Martindale-Hubell and profiles show that his work was largely involved with personal injury cases. He was arrested in late June 2023 and originally charged in Falls City Court with one count of second-degree grand larceny and one count of third-degree grand larceny. Prosecutors charged that Koryl 'stole money belonging to his clients that he was supposed to be holding in his attorney trust account between 2016 and 2023.' Investigators from the district attorney's office said they began looking into Koryl after receiving a complaint about his handling of clients' funds. Seaman has confirmed that Koryl was accused of defrauding five individual clients.

Broken bones, eating in cemetery: Researchers discover ancient human skeletons, revealing mysteries of Medieval women
In the United Kingdom, archaeologists have found 41 human skeletons, mostly of women, from around 500 to 600 AD. These remains, found in south Wales, give a rare look into the Early Medieval period, which is not well recorded in history. Experts say the women likely had hard lives working in farming. Each person was buried in a separate grave at the site. 'Their daily life appears to have been quite hard. They weren't a very healthy bunch of individuals, but they were caring for each other,' Andy Seaman of Cardiff University told CNN. According to Seaman, researchers have found evidence of degenerative joint diseases like arthritis. They have also found healed fractures and broken bones. Female skeletons showed signs of past injuries like broken legs and even a neck, likely from farming accidents, per Seaman. Though the site was near the sea, there's no proof they ate fish. People likely lived nearby and even ate in the cemetery. Some buried there were high-status and had links with people from mainland Europe. Archaeologists found fine glass cups from France, suggesting high-status items at the site. However, Seaman said the people buried there were in poor health. He explained that, during that time, the gap between rich and poor was small, and most people worked in farming. Just because luxury items were found doesn't mean all buried individuals were wealthy. 'It's high status activity happening within the cemetery, that doesn't need to mean that every individual is necessarily a high status person,' CNN quoted Seaman as saying. 'The contrast between the high-status material and the poor health of the individuals is not too surprising. This was a period in which the difference between the rich and the poor wasn't very great, and it seems like everybody was involved to a greater or lesser extent in agriculture,' he added. The team now plans to study if people and goods moved between Wales and southwestern France. They also want to dig up the rest of the site. First Published: 25 Apr 2025, 05:36 PM IST
