I'm going to see if this works. I've taken two print screens of this article (Renew magazine No. 174) which tests products that are fabricated to keep produce fresh for longer in your fridge.

With the horrific destruction that is happening in the ME right now and the disruption to oil supplies, food is going to become more expensive so it makes sense not to have to throw it out because we let it wilt in the crisper. Even under normal circumstances, throwing food out is bad for the environment as well as our budget.

So, after rule number 1: Don't overbuy fresh produce, and rule no. 2: Grow what you can, if you can, and pick it fresh, keeping what you have stored fresher for longer makes sense.

Also share any edible excess with those who may be struggling financially.

Europeans fear a distracted U.S. will lose interest in pushing Putin toward peace — as America depletes stocks of the missiles that Ukraine desperately needs.

Europeans struggling to cope with Donald Trump’s inflammatory interventions may be about to discover there’s one thing worse: Ceasing to be the object of his attention.

As Trump’s ongoing operation against Iran takes priority with Pentagon planners and the White House, European officials fear he will lose interest in ending “Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine, now into its fifth year.

The practical impact if the U.S. becomes embroiled in a drawn-out conflict in the Middle East could be even more severe than the political effect: Ukraine may be starved of the American-made weapons it needs to resist daily Russian missile attacks — because U.S. forces are using so many of them against Iran.

A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was “anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.

From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

“Multiple channels offering these revenge for hire services operate on Telegram. They post advertisements and delete them immediately once a deal is reached, making them difficult to track,” a police officer said.

According to the War and Sanctions website, the majority of foreign components in Russian military equipment come from the US and China. Some 137 components are listed in the "Made in Germany" category, more than half of which were discovered in drones. The rest were found in rockets, radar equipment, military vehicles and helicopters.

Today the US and "Israel" bombed a children's playground in Iran; in three days they bombed a girls' school, two hospitals, and today, on the third day, a children's playground... tomorrow it's an orphanage's turn.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was one of the first world leaders to back the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, which started on Feb. 28.

For Ukraine, the choice was logical: Iran is a Kremlin ally that has backed Russia's aggression against Ukraine and supplied drones to Moscow.

Moreover, Zelensky is seeking to curry favor with U.S. President Donald Trump and show that Ukraine is a reliable ally, analysts say.

. . .

But it is unclear whether this strategy will work.

Trump's hostility towards Russian allies like Iran and Venezuela has not yet affected his relationship with the Kremlin. Moreover, Trump has been reluctant to antagonize Moscow and take a more pro-Ukrainian stance in peace talks.

Window into Iran

Many Iranians whom CBC News interviewed feared speaking publicly. Often, when they agreed to interviews, they often requested that their name or image be withheld because they feared facing reprisal. Iran’s brutal clerical regime frequently imprisons and kills those seen to be expressing dissent.

Hundreds are crossing the border every day, including those who are returning to the country from abroad, and had to make the journey in by vehicle as the airspace over Iran has been closed.

Many of those who are leaving have dual citizenship or family or business opportunities abroad.

An Iranian American, who only wanted to be identified as Bridget, said she was scheduled to fly out of Tehran just as the U.S. strikes began. She was already on the plane when the pilot announced the flight would be grounded and everyone needed to get off. It took her two days to reach and cross the border. Once she got there, she said she joined a small crowd of Iranians waiting to leave.

“People were actually asking me, you know, ‘The United States not gonna win, is it?’” she said.

“And I really thought they were joking…. I mean, we just have to see what the losses are here.”
