Drones: “Are no longer in full peace.” The situation in the morning

Good morning, dear readers,

Again, the airport in Aalborg in Danish was temporarily closed. The reason: a suspected drone. The police have not yet confirmed this sighting, but in the days before, drones were not only discovered there, but over several airports in Denmark and Norway, as well Above the Danish air force base Skrydstrup.

From the once wild cabbage, so different plants as cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, red cabbage, savoy cabbage, white cabbage or Brussels sprouts emerged. And the big advantage: everyone is healthy, very healthy even. “The cabbage crusaders are a real treasure trove of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other secondary plant substances,” writes our author Nicole Simon.
