In dit HLN bericht lezen we dat de debit maestro kaart vervangen wordt de debit mastercard.

U krijgt dus een mastercard, en wat lezen we op de website van mastercard :
mastercard.com/news/europe/en…
Op de website van mastercard lezen we dat mastercard samenwerking met o.a. de #VN en #WEF om de #CO2 voetafdruk bij te houden voor elke betaling, om "de impact van de klimaatverandering bij de consument te leggen". #doconomy
De vermeende #CO2 hetze, waar nog steeds geen bewijs voor bestaat wordt dus verder gebruikt om de #privacy te kunnen negeren en is een stap naar een mogelijke beperking op basis van uw #CO2 voetafdruk.

Ålandsfrågan bör avgöras! 🇦🇽🇫🇮🚫🇷🇺

Frågan om #Åland i krigstid väcker känslor och debatt. Ibland blir det tal om Åland & ålänningar på känslobasis, vilket inte alltid gynnar debatten.

Ålands status, beaktande ett auktoritärt Ryssland som spelar ett internationellt nollsummespel, är värt att granska.

För mig står tre saker, vilka kräver åtgärder, klara:
1. Ålands status som "Fredens öar" – ett demilitariserat och neutralt område är värdefullt och önskvärt.

2. Konventionerna från 1856, 1921 är nödvändiga, men i dagens läge ej tillräckliga.

La canicule ne m'aura pas ! 😂

J'inaugure ce 🧵 après 12h de voyage, 5 transport différents, et 1 stop à Stockholm avant de voguer vers des horizons lointains.

🔺 Mission 1 : fêter Midsommar 🌼
🔺 Mission 2 : faire le tour de l'archipel en vélo 🚴‍♀️
🔺 Mission 3 : DES PHOTOS ! 😁 Image
Après une bonne nuit de repos (et le meilleur burger végé de ma vie dans le repaire des métalleux de l'île découvert par hasard 🤤), j'arrive à Högskär, à l'Est de Mariehamn.

Dès que je récupère ma chambre, je fais une sieste et zou, je pars en vélo le long de la mer 😍 #åland ImageImageImage
J'ai vu trop, trop de trucs hier pour parler de tout ici, mais je vais quand même faire un rétropédalage de 12h pour vous montrer cette scène (Oui je sais c'est pas des cerfs c'est juste que j'étais émotionnée hein).

Ahvenanmaa on pinnalla ja moni ajatusharha. Varuskunta kaukaiseen saareen ei ole kovin hyvä ajatus.

Miksei suomalaisia rannikkojääkäreitä sijoitettaisi Maarianhaminaan? | @iltalehti_fi @KeskinenIL

Varuskunnissa on varusmiehiä koulutuksessa. Vain kahtena kuukautena vuodessa niissä on sotavalmis joukko ja silloinkin vajaalla kalustolla.

Pataljoona kouluttaa joukkoja kaksi komppaniaa per vuosi, eli Oolannin varuskunnassa olisi yksi kompp. joulukuussa, toinen kesäkuussa.

Tällaisten erillisten joukkoyksiköiden kohtalo on ollut parissa rakenneuudistuksessa lakkautus. Oolannin tapauksessa ei tarvitse pitkää matikkaa laskeakseen miten korkeiksi sivukulut tulisivat pelkän sijainnin takia.

#Hydronomastics is the study of #hydronyms, the proper names of bodies of water.

It's a branch of #toponomastics, the study of #toponyms (the proper names of places), which in turn is a branch of #onomastics, the study of #orthonyms (proper names).

#BREAKING NEWS🚨

#FINLAND #ÅLAND #Ferry #accident

A Baltic Sea ferry with around 280 people on board ran aground off the Finnish island group Åland. The West Finnish Coast Guard announced that the situation was stable, people were not in danger.
Emergency forces prepared the evacuation of the "Amorella". According to the Viking Line shipping company, the ship with almost 200 passengers and 80 crew members on board was on its way from Turku in southern Finland to the Swedish capital Stockholm.
So far there have been no reports of injuries. According to information from the radio station Ålands Radio, problems during the journey forced the ferry to deliberately run aground in order not to fill with water.

In the early part of the first millennium CE, the #IndoEuropean language known as Proto-#Germanic diverged into an East branch (which included #Gothic) and a Northwest branch.

Northwest then split into West and North branches when Proto-#Norse developed in #Scandinavia. Image
Until the 8th century, #Germanic #languages, including Proto-#Norse, were written in Elder Futhark, the earliest #runic #alphabet.

The name #Futhark comes from the initial phonemes in the names of the first six #runes:
ᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚲ
F U Þ A R K

By the beginning of the #Viking Age around 800 CE, Proto-#Norse had evolved into Old Norse, and #Scandinavia's writing system transitioned from the 24 #runes of Elder #Futhark to Younger Futhark's 16 runes.

The #Swedish #Sparlösa #Runestone from ~800 CE features both #alphabets. Image
