Йошкар-Ола. Говорят, что пару недель назад в этом месте уже фиксировался сход лавины - тогда лед сломал вывеску, но коммунальщики проигнорировали жалобу, и вот подоспел рецидив.
Antisemitism is rising sharply across Europe, experts have said, as France reported a 74% increase in the number of offences against Jews last year and Germany said the number of violent antisemitic attacks had surged by more than 60%.
Although the most recent rise in antisemitic incidents in France began before the emergence of the anti-establishment gilets jaunes (yellow vests) movement, some have occurred during their weekly Saturday demonstrations. A recent poll suggested nearly half of yellow vest protesters believed in a “Zionist plot”.

Cork oak (Quercus suber), Ghisonaccia, France
Resembling the outline of a bird of prey spreading its wings, the unusual shape of the trunk of this Corsican cork oak is thought to have been caused by a fire, as shown by its calcined heart. Thanks to its many protectors, this tree, though exposed to elements, should enliven the wild landscape of Ghisonaccia in Eastern Corsica for a long time yet
