‘Green Screen’ and murals latest nature project under Port Talbot motorway viaduct

The initiative is part of Neath Port Talbot Council’s “Returning Grey to Green” project which aims to integrate nature into urban areas.

The latest project has turned an area under the M4 motorway between Llewellyn Street and Pentyla-Baglan Road into a vibrant green space that benefits both nature and the aesthetics of the area.

The ‘green screen’ intends to support local wildlife by providing shelter, nests and food. Constructed using a trellis support system and climbing plants, the screen will contribute to improving air quality and regulating temperatures in an urban area. It also aims to improve the aesthetics of the area and have a positive impact on people’s physical and mental health.

Local artists including THEW Creative, JenksArt and Fresh Creative, have painted murals on the concrete columns supporting the motorway. The murals highlight key species of plants and wildlife to act as a reminder of the rich natural heritage in the county borough.

Additionally, native trees have been planted adjacent to Port Talbot multi-storey car park to support existing mature trees, and a wildflower meadow has been established to enhance the area’s biodiversity.

Cllr Wyndham Griffiths, Neath Port Talbot Council’s Cabinet Member for Strategic Planning, Transport and Connectivity, said: “This project is a wonderful example of how we can bring nature into urban spaces, improving both the environment, and the look and feel of the area.

“Along with other nature-based schemes the team has delivered, I’m sure local residents will welcome the improvements.”

The new Mac Studios are nuts -- especially the M3 Ultra top-end variant.

"Apple unveils new Mac Studio, the most powerful Mac ever, featuring M4 Max and new M3 Ultra"

apple.com/newsroom/2025/03/app

"With the new M3 Ultra, Mac Studio features an up to 32-core CPU with 24 performance cores, 50 percent more than any previous Ultra chip and the most CPU cores ever in a Mac. It also offers an up to 80-core GPU, more than any Apple silicon chip; a powerful 32-core Neural Engine for on-device AI and machine learning (ML); and a high-bandwidth memory architecture that delivers over 800GB/s of unified memory bandwidth."

Amazon finally showed up and I now have all three monitors hooked up to the M4 Mac Mini!

Now I can be a lot more productive. I'm really enjoying this Mac Mini so far and am really glad I was able to get one.

The colors on the monitors are all the same, though it doesn't show that way in the image.

A photo I took of my 3 monitors running on my Apple M4 Mac Mini. You can see the monitors, my mouse pads, my keyboards, and pictures of Star Wars and my dad hanging on the wall.

"E cores running low QoS threads at close to minimum frequency take about four times as long, 38.5 seconds, but use less than 45 mW power per thread. Total energy used to complete one thread is therefore over 23 J when run on P cores, and less than 1.7 J when run on E cores. E cores therefore use only 7% of the energy that P cores do performing the same task.”
