The administrative commotion on Terschelling has by no means ended after the departure of the mayor and both councilors. The three new councilors did not receive the consent of the three opposition parties.

“The appointment of councilors is generally a formality. That has to do with forms of politeness,” VVD councilor Taco Lugt responded with dismay on Wednesday evening. He had not prepared anything and was speechless after the three opposition parties came with buckets of criticism, concerns and insinuations towards the three new councilor candidates. They also had nothing good to say about the coalition’s actions.

The two previous councilors had resigned, “after a wave, after wave, after wave of criticism and motions of no confidence,” said a bewildered Lugt. The coalition parties VVD and Local Interest thought they had found “very good candidates” in former mayor Bert Wassink, former councilor Anco Goldhoorn of the municipality of Ronde Venen and VVD faction leader Danny Ruige. “From a college of three that was completely in ruins, to a college of four with only strong and experienced people.”

The Central Bank is not yet planning to produce its notes. According to explanations provided yesterday by the governor of this financial institution, the manufacturing of banknotes is a long and tedious process. It also requires a certain level of technicality and engineering which the Big Island does not yet have. “We have neither the printing works nor the technicians who are capable of supplying, for example, the papers which are used in the making of bank notes. There are several industries that specialize in the

The stock prices of US fintech companies, whose stock prices had soared thanks to the vindictive consumption craze, fell into a quagmire as a result of prolonged high interest rates.

Following the Swedish central bank’s cut in the benchmark interest rate, the central banks of the UK and the Eurozone (20 countries that use the euro) also announced interest rate cuts, but the US Federal Reserve (Fed) is delaying the cut in the interest rate.

Unlike existing financial stocks such as banks and credit card companies, fintech companies belonging to growth companies do not pay dividends, so it is difficult to expect a stock price rebound due to the influx of low-priced buyers.

Last year was declared extreme due to the heat, the number of natural phenomena and uneven rainfall. This year we again observed an unusually warm and changeable April.

One of the areas most dependent on natural resources and weather conditions (at the same time – on climate change) is agriculture. What climate changes and related effects are observed in Lithuania and what impact does it have on agriculture? The increasing average temperature, the softening of the cold period of the year, the lengthening of the growing season – it seems that these are factors that can positively affect agriculture in Lithuania.

Watermelons, grapes, new grain crops are already grown in Lithuania. As the growing season gets longer, it becomes possible to have two crops per season or grow a larger crop. On the other hand, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, the risk of frost remains high, water resources and soil quality are changing.

So, are the effects of climate change really only positive and will it be easy to take advantage of new opportunities? What real consequences and related risks can the changing climate bring to Lithuanian farms? What is the impact of agriculture itself on the climate and how can this impact be reduced?

Watermelons, grapes, new grain crops are already grown in Lithuania.

In Lithuania, the average annual temperature has increased in Lithuania compared to the 20th century. the beginning, the average annual temperature rose by 0.7-0.9 °C and there was a strong increase in summer warm days. In the cold period of the year, the number of days with negative temperatures decreases. An increasing amount of liquid precipitation in the cold period, a decrease in snow cover, and frequent spring droughts are also observed. All these indicators show that Lithuania is not ahead of global trends – the climate is changing in our country as well.

In the general context of Europe, Lithuania falls at the intersection of two biogeographical regions: continental and northern. It has been observed that these regions are shifting towards the North as the climate changes. This means that the conditions of the northern region are becoming less and less typical of Lithuania and the climatic conditions typical of the continental region are arriving. This change is likely to accelerate in the coming decades. Thus, we have an interesting and unique situation where some climate phenomena remain stable and some change.

Although these changes seem slow and insignificant, related phenomena are already noticeable: more frequent extreme weather conditions, earlier flowering of plants, longer growing season of plants, spread of new plants, animals, insects, soil erosion. Agriculture is an area that is very strongly affected by these changes and, undoubtedly, farms will have to adapt.

The solution – new plant cultures?

Recently, we have been hearing more and more stories that watermelons are grown in Lithuania, grape varieties brought from southern countries, and new cereal varieties are grown. However, practice shows that integrating new plant cultures is not so easy. For example, watermelon growers in Lithuania complain that bees “can’t see” watermelon and melon blossoms, so the growers had to pollinate the plants manually.

“Scientists have noticed that native pollinator species prefer the flowers of native plants, so exotic flowers such as w
