Does anyone seriously believe this fairy tale? We don’t
What’s the purpose of this relentless war of conquest when only about 1% of Russia’s vast territory is populated and developed,while the remaining 99% are largely neglected, at best, partially exploited for natural resource extraction?
The Moon at waxing crescent phase and the Pleiades star cluster.
Tonight my sky has a familiar cloudy look. I'm glad I made the effort last night to venture to the wilds of Newcastle to capture Moony and the Pleiades. 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour
An infographic titled "Magnolia molecules: perfume and medicines" details the plant's chemistry. Pink petals contain cyanidin and peonidin pigments. Aroma molecules include aldehydes like 2-nonenal and heptanal, and terpenes like alpha-pinene and linalool. Medicinal bark compounds include magnolol and honokiol, which have antioxidant properties. It also highlights yulanosides, unique phenylethanoid glycosides. Chemical structures for these compounds surround a central magnolia branch photo.
Did you know magnolia petals are edible?
I didn't until this year, and discovering that they are led me to this exploration of magnolia chemistry (and experiments in making magnolia gin).

Very strange, I walked around during the power cut and while most were dark, some houses near the edge of the region of the cut clearly had the same as you...
Many forms of sedimentous rock forms only if rock disappear somewhere else. There are many places in the world today where there is net erosion.
Dit principe zou voor alle producten moeten gelden dan zouden we allang van de fossiele brandstoffen af zijn.

Hmm echt extreem links zie je vrijwel niet op TV en zit eigenlijk niet in de kamer. SP is heel links en PvdD op punten ook maar verder niet en die schuiven vrijwel nooit aan bij de talkshows.
Constitutional reform... 1. Electoral reform to break the two party system and get proportional representation. 2. Hierarchical reform to make the presidency much less powerful 3. Supreme court reform to get 17 year term time limits.
His actions seem perfectly christian though. I know what you mean, but christian doesn't equate good. Maybe it should, but as often not in history (and today) some of the worst things are done by those most loudly claiming to be christian.
Wow, this is unexpected! Reminds me of a Romanian fella I met just before the election who was very happy to announce he would be voting for the Putin sock puppet while living in Scotland. I was shocked how the propaganda had caught him.
Kirsten houdt dit belangrijke werk vol. Ze doet wat veel journalisten nalaten. Steunen dus!
Dyslexics are much more dyslexic in English than in languages with more sane spelling such as Dutch, German or even better Spanish, Italian and Finnish.
Language Matters Why English is so hard to learn Marlene Davis YOU think English is easy? Check out the following. 1. The bandage was wound around the wound. 11.

When pronounced differently, they are known as heteronyms.
Marlene cooked with this one.
Then 6% bounce back?
-6% maybe?
Ik vind het best wel eng dat Hengelo blijkbaar zo belangrijk is dat Putin het wil bombarderen.
Twenty One parties and I still can't find a party I agree with much more then 50%
Ik ben het er wel mee eens dat het nieuws is, maar ik vraag me af of een nieuws redactie dat ook is want dat was de boodschap die ze vorige keer ook verkondigden (toen het nog iets minder zeker was).
Hmm dat hebben ze volgens mij minder dan een jaar geleden ook nog gedaan en dat deden ze toen op zo een manier, met duidelijke uitleg filmpje etc, dat er nu niet zo heel veel "nieuws" te vertellen is dus ik ben bang van niet.
The public at big festivals used to be mostly 18-25 yet old, now it is more 25-80 year old.

Waarschuwing ‘veiligheid Nederland in gevaar’ die de Kamer niet bereikt. Een ambtelijke leemlaag die verhindert dat de waarschuwende de staatssecretaris bereikt. (kennen we van Toeslagen), en ‘deel Kabinet ziet VS nog als bondgenoot.’ 😭

Het mogelijke verzwakken of zelfs stilvallen van de AMOC, de oceaanstroming die NW-Europa haar relatief milde klimaat geeft, is één van de allergrootste klimastrisico’s.
Goed dat het nu serieus wordt onderzocht. nos.nl/l/2564907
Absolute leiders worden op een gegeven moment altijd overmoedig. Putin is mogelijk bang dat hij nu een kans heeft om de Baltische staten te veroveren en dat hij dat eind volgend jaar niet meer kan omdat Europa nu nog zwak is.

En diezelfde mopperaars maken een jaarlijkse cultus van het zo oer-Hollandse gerecht Erwtensoep. Van peulvruchten, inderdaad. En soepen van al die soorten zijn eindeloos te variëren. Linzensoep is ook nog héél Bijbels!
When the border rail link opens this summer, it will create what is thought to be the longest train journey that’s possible to take in the EU.

Thanks! Yes, it is indeed very clearly a Peltigera. Never seen it before, or at least not such strikingly large patches growing in the gras. Very pretty! Thanks for your help.
