Présidentielle en Roumanie : le candidat pro-européen Nicusor Dan devance son rival nationaliste, George Simion, qui dénonce des fraudes

#Élections #Roumanie

Selon deux sondages réalisés à la sortie des urnes, le maire centriste de Bucarest arrive en tête avec 54 % des suffrages, contre quelque 45 % pour le chef du parti nationaliste Alliance pour l'unité des Roumains (AUR), qui a cependant revendiqué la victoire, invoquant des " fraudes ".

In 1908, in a quiet kitchen in Germany, a frustrated housewife made a decision that would change mornings forever.
Melitta Bentz was tired of bitter, over-brewed #Coffee.
Back then, brewing meant boiling loose grounds & it left your cup full of grit and sludge.
So one morning, she got creative.
She took a sheet of blotting paper from her son’s notebook, poked holes in the bottom of a brass pot, placed the paper inside—and poured hot water over the coffee grounds.
A smooth, clean, perfect cup.

That kitchen experiment became a breakthrough.
Melitta patented her invention the same year, started a company with her husband and sons—and by the 1920s, Melitta coffee filters were being used all across Europe.
She didn’t come from a lab.
She didn’t wear a lab coat.
But she changed the way the world starts its day.
Today, the Melitta brand still thrives.

I live in the town where the coffee filters (Filtertüten) are made.
And I even worked at the Melitta factory for a while many years ago, making coffee filters on a machine.
The company is still owned by the Benz family.

L'immagine mostra un tunnel di roccia scura, costruito con blocchi di pietra irregolari, che si estende in profondità. Il tunnel è illuminato da luci artificiali che creano un'atmosfera misteriosa. Sul lato destro del tunnel, ci sono pannelli informativi fissati alle pareti, che sembrano fornire dettagli sulla storia o la funzione del tunnel. Il pavimento è asfaltato e presenta impronte di animali, probabilmente di un cane, che suggeriscono l'uso del tunnel da parte di visitatori. La luce riflette sulla superficie del pavimento, creando un effetto visivo interessante. L'atmosfera generale è di un luogo storico e misterioso, con un senso di profondità e lunghezza che si estende verso l'orizzonte.

The ad identifier - aka “IDFA” on iOS, or “AAID” on Android - is the key that enables most third-party tracking on mobile devices.
Disabling it will make it substantially harder for advertisers and data brokers to track and profile you, and will limit the amount of your personal information up for sale.
This post explains the history of device ad identifiers and how they have enabled persistent tracking, identification, and other privacy invasions.

Every pregnancy in Gaza is high risk, doctor says

“Despite bombing in the background, despite not knowing if she can actually get home safely, despite the fact that she knows she might not be able to feed him or care for him properly, it’s that thing that comes by instinct – she just enjoys her newborn baby.”

“These people are holding on to every single bit of hope and life.”

Das Bild zeigt eine einsame, silhouettenartige Kiefer in einem offenen Feld bei Dämmerung. Der Himmel ist in einem tiefen Blau gehalten, und die Umgebung ist von sanften Hügeln umgeben. Der Baum hat einen unregelmäßigen, fast zerbrechlichen Ästengitter, das wie ein Netz aussieht. Im Vordergrund ist der Text "My sweet mother, do not weep" zu sehen. Darunter befindet sich ein Banner mit der Aufschrift "Klavdia - Asteromáta | Greece 🇬🇷 | Official Music Video | #Eurovision2025" und der Angabe "1,7 Mio. Aufrufe vor 2 Monaten".
