Going on a trip, the main thing is not to forget the brain!

5 people, aged between 21 and 26, set off on a trek - climbing without the necessary equipment on Psiloriti! Today!!!
At the moment, with winds reaching 10 on the Beaufort scale (up 28m\sec) and ice making conditions even more difficult, members of EMAK Squad 3 and 2 people from Rethymnon are trying to approach from the south side.
Those stuck in the chapel are contacting the fire department every two hours.
Oleander is a poisonous beauty
Evergreen shrub is unpretentious and very decorative, so it is actively used in landscape design, easily tolerates “shearing” and obediently takes the desired shape. It is often used for artificial hedges.

In Crete oleander grows everywhere: in cities, parks, in wild gorges along the beds of streams and rivulets, along roadsides. It blooms from May and blooms for six months. The most common oleander flowers in Crete are white, pink and red, but in general there are many other shades - cream, yellow, orange and other...

Oleander is poisonous! And poison contains all parts of the plant. Oleander juice, once inside the body, causes severe colic in humans and animals, vomiting and diarrhea, and then leads to serious heart and central nervous system problems. Even the ubiquitous Cretan goats avoid it.

For ornamental cultivation, it is not recommended to be placed in bedrooms and homes with children.

Désirs de Voyages… “Discover the charm of Chania”

“Désirs de Voyages” is France’s most popular luxury travel magazine, published twice a month in print and online, aimed at a high-spending, high socio-economic audience looking for new authentic luxury travel experiences and well-being. with a keen interest in Greece.

The press tour organised by E.O.T. France Service resulted in a 7-page report on the trip to Crete, “A Cultural Tour of Chania”.
В Фалассарне найдены десятки мертвых рыб, выброшенных на берег, причем большинство из них без глаз.

Греческий центр морских исследований говорит о вирусной энцефалопатии и ретинопатии, вызванной вирусом Betanodavirus, широко распространенным в Средиземноморье, который серьезно поражает виды семейства Epinephelidae.

Симптомы включают необычное поведение: рыбы медленно и по спирали движутся по поверхности моря, часто брюхом вверх из-за опухших кист. Подобные инциденты наблюдаются каждый год, особенно осенью.

Первое упоминание о вирусной энцефалопатии было сделано в 1979г, когда в заливе Киссамос было обнаружено около пяти тонн мертвой рыбы... В то время ученые приписали смерть другой причине, и только годы спустя стало ясно, что признаки указывали на вирусную энцефалопатию.

Важно подчеркнуть, что вирус поражает только рыбу и не передается человеку, поэтому риска для здоровья населения нет. Однако мертвую рыбу ни в коем случае нельзя употреблять в пищу, так как она может испортиться.

Poinsettia - a symbol of Christmas

Poinsettia, or Euphorbia pulcherrima, is an evergreen shrub of the Euphorbiaceae family. Wild poinsettias are found from Mexico to southern Guatemala, growing on slopes of medium height facing the Pacific Ocean. In pots, poinsettias usually grow up to 30 cm, but in open ground they are shrubs or small trees from 0.6 to 4 m high.

Poinsettia got its name thanks to the United States Secretary of War in Mexico, Joel Roberts Poinsett, who brought cuttings of the plant to the United States in 1834 and shared them with his gardener friends.

According to Feng Shui, the flower is believed to stimulate passion and rejuvenation, increase vitality and bring happiness to the home. It ignites creative energy, promotes professional and personal growth.
