A three-bedroom semi-detached home, so crammed with possessions that estate agents opted to digitally wipe away the mess using artificial intelligence, has sparked controversy online. While traditional virtual staging typically involves adding furniture to empty rooms, estate agents are increasing turning to using AI to remove years of accumulated belongings and make homes appear more presentable. Tips are being shared on how to spot the listings as it appeared an estate agent supposedly used AI to enhance photographs of a UK rental property listing - with mixed results. Experts have suggested that AI is the latest in a long line of techniques used by estate agents to show homes at their best. But the Oxford listing illustrates a growing trend for AI use in more industries, including among estate agents.

IAS is an acronym that is popping up more regularly and is in the news at present both nationally and internationally. IAS stands for an ‘invasive alien species’ meaning animals and plants that are introduced accidentally or deliberately into a natural environment where they are not normally found, with serious negative consequences for their new environment. At present, the list contains 114 species: 65 animals and 49 plants. The reason IASs are in the news at present is because Ireland is now obliged to eradicate, or to put a management plan in place, for species newly added to the EU’s updated IAS hit list. The recent update included eight species, four animals and four plants, which are present or have occurred in Ireland.

He said: 'You can't believe a single word either Andrew or Sarah Ferguson says and I learned that over my four years of research. 'Epstein got very close to the Royal Family and he was using Andrew to get to the Queen. 'I have no doubt that the members of the royal family probably met Epstein, that hasn't emerged yet. I saw Prince Andrew and Donald Trump. [Epstein] wanted me to give Prince Andrew a massage, but I didn't feel good about that.

Our technology editor answers your trickiest tech questionsI have had a TV set for over 30 years, which is not a flat-screen model. It has finally given out and I am faced with the task of getting a new one. I’m a little bewildered as I’m not really that knowledgeable about technology. Do I need a smart TV or will my provider do that bit for me? If you have any recommendations for a model I could buy, one that’s not too big, I’d also be grateful.

Photograph: Bryan O'BrienThe High Court has ordered the return of €142,500 deposit paid by a company that wanted to buy a former small hotel to turn it into an International Protection Accommodation Service (Ipas) centre. Mr O’Neill, in his own proceedings against Outeniqua, sought specific performance of the contract and damages. In a judgment, Mr Justice Oisín Quinn said Outeniqua was entitled to an order for the return of the deposit. Outeniqua sought the return of the deposit but this was refused and High Court proceedings followed.

The SNP will boast about ‘free’ prescriptions, yet in England over 90% of prescriptions are dispensed without charge, while in Scotland millionaires receive them. And then there is ‘free’ university tuition, which results in a tight cap on the number of Scottish students at Scottish universities, and leaves these universities in deep financial trouble. The party that perpetrated these, and other, failures wants you to vote for it to do Scotland even more damage. Without hesitation, and to his horror, I answered that I would, if I thought it would damage the SNP. Scottish universities are poorly compensated for state paid degree fees, and rely on foreign students to make ends meet.

However, a key issue has surrounded establishing training courses, apprenticeships and skills facilities that can be easily accessed by people in rural areas where the bulk of the wind energy industry operates. The Scottish Government’s new offshore wind action plan, Powering Progress Together, sets out a 12 point agenda to train the specialist electricians, engineers and technicians considered key to the expansion of the sector. The facility is considered crucial to helping Scotland’s capacity in Global Wind Organisation-accredited training and to create a stronger pipeline of wind technicians to meet demand. The plan also confirms a new Level 5 Engineering Foundation Apprenticeship, and ‘work ready’ programmes bringing together colleges, training bodies, Energy Skills Partnership (ESP) and others to boost existing provision and develop further initiatives. Key roles include wind turbine technicians, high-voltage engineers, cable engineers, electrical managers and design engineers and managers.

Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodriguez on Friday announced an amnesty bill that could lead to the release of hundreds of prisoners, including opposition leaders, journalists and human rights activists detained for political reasons. “May this law serve to heal the wounds left by the political confrontation fuelled by violence and extremism,” she added in the pre-taped televised event. Ms Rodriguez made her announcement before some of the officials that former prisoners and human rights watchdogs have accused of ordering the abuses committed at Helicoide and other detention facilities. The Venezuelan-based prisoners’ rights group Foro Penal estimates that 711 people are in detention facilities across the South American country for their political activities. Ms Rodriguez said the “general amnesty law” will cover the “entire period of political violence from 1999 to the present.” She also explained that people convicted of murder, drug trafficking, corruption or human rights violations will not qualify for relief.

In the opening minutes of that 2005 All-Ireland final the finger of a Tyrone player ended up in Colm Cooper’s eye. Once Jim Gavin came along though, he completed bucked the dynamic between All-Ireland finalists playing each other in the following year’s league. Defeating the team that had edged them in the 2013 All-Ireland final could mark the most significant signpost and scalp of them all. In 2019 they failed for the first time to reach a league final under Gavin, losing to a Tyrone team they had beaten in the previous year’s All-Ireland final. McGuinness has obviously worked on something.” Darran O’Sullivan who soldiered with O’Connor for many league campaigns is of a similar mind.

An Atlanta Netflix star shared the emotional moment her son graduated from college after years of struggle. Lori Hanford's 23-year-old son Sean graduated from Kennesaw State University in Georgia on December 19 with a degree in Entrepreneurship. She captioned the video of Sean's graduation 'black boy joy' and it quickly went viral with more than 200,000 likes on Instagram. Anytime Sean wanted to give up, his mother told the outlet he got a text from a pastor or even Steve Harvey himself, encouraging him to keep up the hard work. Hanford told WSB-TV reporters that she shared the now viral moment to show other young black men what can be accomplished.

Corporate America has been very careful in its 'criticism' of what has been happening in Minneapolis. Yes, more than 60 Minnesota CEOs signed a joint letter urging “an immediate de-escalation of tensions” after the shooting. Altman went further, telling staff that “President Trump is a very strong leader” and would hopefully “rise to this moment”. ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods learned the cost of plain speaking when he recently described Venezuela as “uninvestable”, prompting Trump to threaten retaliation. Corporate leaders will probably continue to play it safe, saying enough to try to reassure staff, but not enough to risk retaliation.

All the world’s financial eggs are precariously perched in one highly speculative basket, in a country run by someone who could be described – sticking with the basket analogy – as a complete basket case. On the eve of the collapse of Lehman Brothers, $10 trillion of foreign money was deployed in US shares, real estate and bonds. A realignment of global risk is on the cards and this means money leaving the US and returning home. Such “hope” value can only be sustained as long as more and more foreign money comes in at the bottom of the pyramid to maintain valuations at the top. London was the epicentre of global money, accounting for about two-thirds of all trade in international capital.
