The small coffee table was made from three light type pallets. It could also be made from European-style pallets, where they are more symmetrically made, with a better result, but its weight would be a negative factor. We cut the first pallet in half with a small battery chainsaw that we have for pruning in the village (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1Y0qI3T5O8). From the other two, after we dismantled them, we took planks for thickening and the bases. We glued the bases lengthwise with silicone wood glue, thick, as we did not have perfect contacts or clamps to achieve this. So we put some weight on the pallet after the glues for 24-48 hours. We sanded the imperfections in the cuts and the wood with 120 seize sandpaper. The painting was done with 0.25 liter satin chestnut wood varnish and a small 2.5 size brush. Total cost with the 4 iron corners and 6 drawer handles 20 EURO. #smalltable #palletsofá #pallets #constructions #palletfurniture #varnishing #silicone #woodworking #woodwork #woodenart #livingroom #livingroomdecor #livingroomideas - Small table made of light type pallets: [https://youtu.be/CQImGWSQiWI]

From the 10 tomato plants we had in the green area of ​​the apartment building, we got about 5 kilos of unripe, green tomatoes that would not ripen. There were 5 to 6 pieces of peppers left. We chose the 8 liter food container and left the 14 liter one for pickled cabbage and cauliflower. Between the tomatoes, which we cut in two or four, depending on the size, we added pieces of carrots, about 1 kg, after cleaning and washing them well, as well as leaves from half a bundle of celery. We pierced the very small tomatoes with a fork. In layers we added a spoonful of coarse salt, half and a half of sugar and a little white vinegar. At the end, we put the rest of the celery we had left over as well as the bulb from its root into pieces. We also added three cloves of garlic. We let it sit for a day and the next day we made the brine (almi): *2.5 liters of lukewarm water *5 tablespoons of coarse salt (2 tablespoons per liter) *half a spoonful of sugar *1 and 1/4 bottle of white vinegar *3 cloves of garlic After mixing the brine, we poured it into the 8-liter container and it came evenly, leaving a little room for oil. We will wait 4 weeks for the fermentation to take place and then taste it. Last time we had put less coarse salt in the brine and it didn't work. Now the coarse salt of the brine with what we poured in different layers 3-4 times is 2.5 spoons in 1 liter of water in total. In pickled cabbage, we put one spoon per liter and it works. #τουρσί #τομάτες #ντομάτες #pickled #pickledvegetables #pickledtomatoes #tomatoes

Feeding the geese with popcorn in the palm of the hand. We should not normally feed animals in captivity. It is the work of experts. Feeding birds is a popular pastime, but many people do not know that this can be harmful to the birds, as well as the environment. *Bread, crackers, popcorn and other high carbohydrate foods are like junk food to birds. Birds filling up on them will not seek out other, nutritious food. This can cause the birds to become malnourished, contributing to a host of health problems for both adults and babies.* *A goose’s natural diet consists of grasses, aquatic plants, small insects, and fish.* #goose #geese #birds #food #feeding #popcorn #pastime #captivity #animals

From 2014, the program of national purity (derussification) began with the abolition of the Russian language, making the Russian speakers of eastern Ukraine (Donetsk, Lugansk) second-class citizens. These were done with the support of NATO, America and the European Union after the so-called "Revolution" of the 2014, former Virginia State Senator Richard Black says. #ukrainian #easternukraine #donbass #donbass_region #derussification #language #nationalpurity #secondclass #citizens #nato #america #europeanunion #represion - Related: US, NATO, EU leaders and Zelensky don't care how many lives are lost, they want to win: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-sNhsIVWbc]

The EU is making “contradictory” demands on Serbia when it comes to values and principles, Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic said on Friday. While Belgrade is committed to joining the bloc, it’s difficult to square the insistence of Brussels on Ukraine’s territorial integrity while expecting Serbia to violate its own. Brnabic spoke with reporters in Belgrade following her meeting with Emanuele Giaufret, the head of the EU mission in Serbia. At one point, she was asked to address the “recommendations” recently adopted by the European Parliament. “One recommendation says Serbia can become an EU member only if it agrees to sanction Russia, because Russia violated the territorial integrity of an internationally recognized state,”Brnabic said. “But the other recommendation is that we can continue on our European path only after giving up our own territorial integrity,” that is, by recognizing the independence Kosovo’s provisional government declared in 2008. If territorial integrity is inviolable, why is Serbia being asked to violate its own, Brnabic asked.

The reunification of Russia and Donbass should have happened earlier; in 2014, the country did not fully feel the mood of the people. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting with the mothers of servicemen who participated in the special operation. "As far as 2014 is concerned, of course, in hindsight, we know everything now, but we proceeded from the assumption that it might be possible to come to terms, that Lugansk and Donetsk would be able to reunite with Ukraine somehow within the framework of the Minsk agreements. We were sincerely working towards this, but we didn’t fully feel the mood of the people, it was impossible to understand what was happening there," Putin said on Friday at a meeting with the mothers of servicemen participating in the special military operation. "Now, it has become pretty obvious that this reunification should have happened earlier. Maybe there would not have been so many civilian casualties, and there would not have been so many children killed by bombardments," Putin said. ----- Воссоединение России и Донбасса должно было произойти раньше, в 2014 году страна не до конца чувствовала настроение людей. Об этом на встрече с матерями военнослужащих – участников спецоперации заявил президент РФ Владимир Путин. Российский лидер отметил, что в 2014 году власти РФ исходили из того, что Луганск и Донецк в рамках Минских договоренностей сможет договориться с Киевом. "Мы искренне к этому шли. Но мы же не чувствовали до конца настроение людей. До конца невозможно было понять, что там происходит", – сказал Путин. Президент РФ отметил, что воссоединение должно было бы произойти раньше. "Может быть, и не было бы столько потерь среди мирных граждан, не было бы столько погибших детей под обстрелами", – заявил Путин

Greece will begin replacing Russian-made weapons with NATO systems. This was reported in the Greek edition of Eleftheros Tipos. It is noted that the process will begin in the near future. As follows from the article, the country is going to gradually "get rid of rather outdated Russian anti-aircraft systems," which Athens should have done a long time ago. It is emphasized that this step of the authorities is connected with the "dramatic events" in Ukraine and the aggravation of relations between NATO and Moscow. The publication drew attention to the fact that recently several countries of the alliance, including Poland and the Czech Republic, have also replaced weapons with American ones. "For our country, such a replacement concerns the Tor-M1 anti-aircraft systems, as well as the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, which was located in Heraklion on Crete for years," the article says. *Earlier, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin admitted that Russia has impressive weapons.* -- *VIDEO: Overflights of Helicopters after the military parade of the National Day of October 28 in Thessaloniki.*

1. Responsibility for the destruction of residential buildings and casualties among the civilian population is borne by the Ukrainian air defense forces, since the Ukrainian army specifically deploys air defense forces in the center of settlements. *The corresponding statement was made by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya during a meeting of the organization's Security Council.* According to Nebenzya, Ukrainian missiles pose a terrible threat to residential buildings in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities. Their wreckage, and even the missiles themselves that have gone astray, hit targets that Russia was not going to hit. The permanent representative stressed that the Ukrainian command deliberately places air defense in the very center of cities. "As a result, fragments of missiles or Ukrainian missiles that have gone astray end up in those objects that Russia did not even aim at," Nebenzya concluded.

Sunday, November 20, 2022, four transplants of cornus mas saplings were made. The light rain that fell in the morning and the heavy rain that followed after noon was a favorable factor for the transplants. Instead, the location of the saplings next to the neighboring fence prevented the spade from tilting 45 degrees and taking the saplings with the root system undisturbed with the soil. We had to plant them there because there was an automatic drip irrigation pipe. Of the four saplings, the first two were seedlings and the other two were propagated by cuttings in the ground. The difference is that in seedlings we don't know what size fruit they will produce, while in ground propagation the new tree is similar to the old one. *The first three planted next to dried cherry trees, the fourth in place of a small cornus mas tree that dried in the fifth year of transplanting.* #cornusmas #corneliancherry #transplant #transplantation #trees #saplings #propagation #κρανιές #πολλαπλασιασμός #καταβολάδες #δενδρύλλια #μεταφύτευση

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Cuban counterpart Miguel Diaz-Canel took part in the inauguration in Moscow of a monument to former Cuban leader and revolutionary Fidel Castro in a ceremony on Tuesday 22.11.2022: 1. Work on the bronze-made three-meter-monument lasted for six months and took place in the Russian capital. Castro is depicted seated on a rock with a stylized map of Cuba inscribed on it. The image is supposed to reflect the heroic path of a person who stood up for the rights and freedoms of the Cuban people according to the Kremlin’s press service fact sheet for the event. The monument was erected on Moscow’s square named in honor of Castro. Fidel Castro was one of the leaders of Cuba’s revolutionary movement who chaired Cuba’s Council of Ministers from 1959 to 2008. The Cuban politician passed away in 2016. The initiative to erect a monument to Fidel Castro came from the leadership of the Russian Defense Ministry. The idea was supported by the Russian Military-Historical Society which held a closed artistic contest with 11 works participating. The Cuban president arrived in Moscow on November 19. --- 2. Havana appreciates the efforts made by Moscow to make sure the world transitions to multipolarity, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin on Tuesday. "We appreciate all the work that the Russian Federation is doing to ensure that the world moves toward multipolarity and makes progress in that direction. In this sense, you have serious leadership," the Cuban president said. He said that even in difficult circumstances, the two countries had managed to maintain political dialogue at the highest level. "It reflects the remarkable relationship that binds us together. We had more than seven telephone conversations in the midst of the pandemic, and now we have been able to meet in person and, I think, we will be able to increase the exchange of views on global issues and issues of a bilateral nature," the Cuban leader said. #fidelcastro #cuba #leader #leaders #leadership #revolution #multipolar #worldorder #monument #inaguration #embargo #globalissues #dialogue #hegemony

Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti announced on Tuesday the decision to postpone fines for car plates with the Serbian identifier for the disputed region on the border for another 48 hours at Washington's request. On Monday, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said that the Kosovar authorities had sent police special forces to its northern areas after failed negotiations with Belgrade in Brussels on postponing Pristina's controversial policy on car plates.

The Aggitis river cave is one of the largest and most spectacular river caves in all of Europe and is located in northern Greece near the city of Drama. The cave, whose name originates from the river which runs through it, is an elongated, naturally-formed tunnel which serves as the single outlet for the waters collected in the enclosed basin of Kato Nevrokopi. The riνer begins at the springs at Maara and crosses the western side of the lowlands after which the Philippi waters flow into it; the Aggitis then pours into the Strymon River and spans a length of 21 kilometers and a passage of 500m that ends at a siphon where visitors are able to experience the magic of this cave...

Βρίσκεται στον δήμο Προσοτσάνης Δράμας, σε απόσταση 23 χιλιομέτρων από την πόλη της Δράμας. Παρόλο που το σπήλαιο Αγγίτη αποτελεί ένα από τα εντυπωσιακότερα σπήλαια στην Ευρώπη, είναι προς το παρόν σχετικά άγνωστο ακόμη και στο ελληνικό κοινό, καθώς έγινε επισκέψιμο μόλις το 2000. Αυτό αλλάζει γρήγορα, παρόλα αυτά, καθώς οι περισσότεροι επισκέπτες εντυπωσιάζονται τόσο πολύ, που γίνονται οι καλύτεροι πρεσβευτές του, συστήνοντάς το ως κορυφαίο αξιοθέατο σε όσους γνωρίζουν. Στην είσοδο του σπηλαίου βρίσκεται μια μεγάλη αίθουσα, γεμάτη με τα νερά του ποταμού Αγγίτη, η οποία ήταν γνωστή στους κατοίκους της περιοχής αιώνες πριν. Σήμερα, η μεγάλη αυτή αίθουσα, με διάμετρο 40 μέτρα και μέγιστο ύψος 15 μέτρα, περιέχει ένα μεγάλο υδραυλικό τροχό διαμέτρου 8 μέτρων, ο οποίος από τον 19ο αιώνα ακόμη παρείχε νερό για ύδρευση και άρδευση σε όλη τη γύρω περιοχή. Αυτός είναι και ο λόγος που η αίθουσα αυτή λέγεται “αίθουσα του τροχού”. Από τη δεκαετία του 1950 προσπαθούσαν οι Έλληνες σπηλαιολόγοι να εξερευνήσουν το υπόλοιπο σπήλαιο πέρα από την αρχική αίθουσα του τροχού, αλλά το ανάγλυφο του σπηλαίου και τα νερά του ποταμού έκαναν το εγχείρημα εξαιρετικά δύσκολο. Μόνο στα τέλη της δεκαετίας του 1970 κατάφεραν, με τη βοήθεια Γάλλων σπηλαιολόγων που ήρθαν για τον σκοπό αυτό από το εξωτερικό, να προχωρήσουν σε μεγάλο βάθος μέσα στο σπήλαιο, για να ανακαλύψουν τελικά ότι πρόκειται για ένα κολοσσιαίο σε μέγεθος σπήλαιο, για την ακρίβεια, για *το μεγαλύτερο ποτάμιο σπήλαιο στον κόσμο!...* Source: [https://www.hydramagrandhotel.gr/tharticles/spilaio_aggitis_drama/] #σπήλαιο #αγγίτης #δράμα #ελλάδα #ποταμοί #αξιοθέατα

At least 15 Syrian soldiers were killed in Turkey’s massive strike at Kurdish areas in the Aleppo, Raqqa, and al-Hasakah governorates, the Erbil-based Rudaw television channel reported on Sunday. According to earlier reports, six soldiers from army units that has been deployed to northern Syria to repel a possible Turkish attack were killed. Apart from that, 14 civilians, including a local reporter, were also killed. The biggest number of casualties was reported from the vicinity of the city of Al-Malikiyah, where Turkey’s air raid left 11 people dead and six more wounded. An electricity plant feeding the city was damaged. The losses of the Kurdish units of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) amounted to 30 people, either killed or wounded. The SDF command said earlier that an air strike had been delivered at the center of the city of Ayn al-Arab (or Kobani) located 150 kilometers of the governorate’s center of Aleppo. The SDF called on the international community to "pay attention to the barbarous actions of Turkish troops and their consequences for the civilian population." Meanwhile, Turkey’s defense ministry reported that 89 targets had been destroyed during the night air attack in northern Iraq and Syria. The ministry claimed that strikes had been delivered at places of deployment of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and Syrian Kurdish units that are outlawed in Turkey. The air strike was backed by artillery fire. Experts say that Turkey’s cross-border operation in northern Iraq and Syria was a response to the November 13 terror attack in Istanbul, which left six people dead and more than 80 injured. Investigators place the blame for it on the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and People's Defense Units. - Turkey launched airstrikes over several towns in northern Syria on Saturday, U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces reported. At least 31 people were killed in northern Syria, primarily in positions held by Syrian Kurdish forces, a Britain-based war monitoring group said on Sunday. Nearly 25 strikes hit Raqa, Hassakeh and Aleppo provinces, killing 18 members of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, 12 members of Syria’s military and one journalist, said the so-called "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights". The airstrikes occurred a week after a bomb rocked a bustling avenue in the heart of Istanbul, killing six people and wounding over 80 others. Turkish authorities blamed the attack on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, as well as Syrian Kurdish groups affiliated with it. The Kurdish militants groups have, however, denied involvement. Ankara and Washington both consider the PKK a terror group, but disagree on the status of the Syrian Kurdish groups, which have been allied with the U.S. in the fight against the Islamic State group in Syria. #kobani #airstrikes #syria #syrianarabic #syriankurds #kurds #soldiers #pkk #raqa #hasakah #iraq ---- Music track: History Repeats Itself by FSCM Productions | https://fscmproductions.bandcamp.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
