After almost 3 years in #Finland I finally got myself an Arabia Moomin characters mug to press my coffee into 😊
Te reason for stalling is that these things are expensive! This one was 12.5€ on something like 40% sale, they usually cost 20-25€
But now I'm one step further in the integration journey 😂#moomin #Finland #Arabia #coffee #Aeropress #Snufkin

“Although the Euphrates River - stretching ~3,000 km across Western Asia - has shaped the region’s geology for millions of years, the timing of its origin and the evolution of its course remain enigmatic. So far, two contrasting hypotheses have been proposed to explain the fluvial system’s Late Neogene path: termination in Anatolia at a palaeo-lake or the Mediterranean, or a southeastward continuation to Arabia. Here [they] use seismic-reflection and topographic data to show that two previously identified sedimentary accumulations - deposited during the terminal phase of the Late Miocene Messinian salinity crisis - resulted from dual riverine systems that drained into a partially desiccated eastern Mediterranean before avulsing toward the Persian Gulf and converging to form the modern Euphrates River. From probabilistic sediment-budget modelling, [they] show that although the latest Messinian drainage basins were an order of magnitude smaller than their present-day extents, the total palaeo-discharge exceeded that of the modern Tigris, Euphrates and Nile rivers combined, indicating intense palaeo-precipitation and high palaeo-relief. These results suggest that plate-margin deformation both controlled the fluvial avulsions that diverted the Euphrates River from the Anatolian–Eurasian Plate to the Arabian Plate, and established the conditions necessary for the development of the alluvial Fertile Crescent…”

The previous article about #SPIEF2026 mentions Saudi Arabia’s installation, which is decorated with other ornamental #plants such as Palm trees, of plant family Arecaceae.
Saudi #Arabia imported 2.3 million agricultural products from #Russia in 2025, primarily grain crops, like wheat (Triticum spp.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare).

A couple of days ago, the Biden Administration announced that the Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia, Mohamed bin Salman is immune from a court proceeding to hold him accountable for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi because he is a head of state.
In 1989, the US invaded Panama in order to arrest their president, Manuel Noriega, on charges of drug smuggling.
What a difference a few years make. I guess money can actually buy more today than it did back then.
