What are these in the sea?

What are these dotted ball shaped things I circled in yellow in the image?

I thought they may be sea urchin skeletons. Though the things in the image may be too many and too large?

They are in a mural in Brighton, England. The subject is "Protecting Costa Rican Wildlife", so I guess they are of some native species there.

Any good smart power strip not made in China?

I'm looking for a smart power strip, which allows me to remote control and schedule on/off.

Last year I bought Hey!'s smart power strip. Hey! is a UK brand, but turn out its products are just branded Chinese products. I used it anyway but it just bricked itself last month.

For quality, safety, and security reasons, I would prefer a non-made-in-China smart power strip.

Compatibility with Home Assistant is prefered, but not 100% required. I'm interested in switching to Home Assistant but I haven't yet.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Barn owl webcam | Somerset Wildlife Trust

Livestream of a barn owl family in the UK by Somerset Wildlife Trust.

For the past three years, our barn owl box in the Blackdown Hills has been inhabited by our barn owl couple - Finn and Trude - and the previous two years Finn and his other lady owl, Orla.

We are so delighted that Finn and Trude have hatched 4 fabulous owlets this year. They are on the brink of fledging so we're expecting a bit of a barn owl circus in the barn as they flap about finding their wings to venture out on their own.
