The Netherlands is having it's third complete shutdown of all passenger trains tomorrow in the entire country.
The strikes are caused by the employees wages having a big gap with inflation. The NS management doesn't want to pay this gap. The government will not help.
I'm sure there is some huge car project somewhere in the Netherlands that could be killed to invest in better train service. But it will not be.
I dread because I don't have a lot of hope that th…

In the Netherlands, we just experienced the warmest night on record, for this early in the year. With a low temperature of 19.1°C in De Bilt, it was just shy of the warmest June night, 24-25 June 2019 (low 19.5°C).

A heady throng of tech billionaires, ministers, corporate titans and the king of the Netherlands have convened in Sweden for the 71st Bilderberg meeting
– the publicity-shy annual policy conference that has long sustained conspiracy theorists
– hosted this year by the fabulously wealthy Wallenberg family.
The four days of transatlantic talks are taking place at the swanky Grand hotel,
which is owned, like so much else in Sweden, by the Wallenbergs.

New simulations show how much colder European winters would get if AMOC collapses
A pair of meteorologists in the Netherlands has used new simulations to show just how cold many of Europe's cities could get if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) were to collapse due to global warming. In their study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, René van Westen and Michiel Baatsen developed a climate model based on a range of ocean temperature changes that could arise due to global warming.

Quite possibly the third worst thing to ever come out of the Netherlands. #TOTP

Dutch Government Collapses After Geert Wilders Withdraws Right-Wing Party
The populist Geert Wilders withdrew his right-wing party from the ruling coalition, saying partners were stalling plans for the Netherlands’ “strictest migration policy ever.”

There are days on which the news is a relief.

A five-month investigation found that data centers in Mexico, Chile, South Africa, the Netherlands, and the U.S. overhyped their economic benefits and downplayed environmental damage, especially their water use, even in drought zones.

What birds can teach us about repurposing waste
Modern cities are evolution engines. Urban snails in the Netherlands and lizards in Los Angeles have developed lighter shells and larger scales to cope with the heat island effect, where temperatures can be several degrees above the surrounding area.

Interstellar Polarization Survey. V. Galactic magnetic field tomography in the spiral arms using optical and near-infrared starlight polarization
Interstellar linear polarization occurs when starlight passes through elongated dust grains aligned by interstellar magnetic fields. The observed polarization can come from different dust structures along the line of sight (LOS). By combining polarization measurements with stellar distances, we can study the plane-of-sky Galactic magnetic field (GMF) between the observer and the star and separate the contributions of clouds with different GMF properties. We used optical and near-infrared (NIR) …

Design and performance of a Toroidal RF Volume Coil with Intrinsic Electromagnetic Interference Rejection for low-field Portable Halbach-Based MRI Systems
Purpose: One of the intrinsic limitations of low-field MRI is low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which can be further reduced by electromagnetic interference (EMI) due to the lack of a Faraday shielded room. To address this issue, we propose a novel RF coil design that is inherently less sensitive to EMI while maintaining high receive sensitivity. Methods: The proposed coil structure is based on an anapole (toroidal) design and consists of six rings, each containing four continuous wires wound ar…

What's the goal of this staged deployment of border control police by helicopter at one of the hundreds of border crossings between Germany and the Netherlands, ostensibly for 'random' checks other than a pissing contest?

Met heli’s op zoek naar illegale migranten bij Nederlandse grens: Duitsland wil ‘onvoorspelbaar’ zijn
Terwijl Geert Wilders in Nederland pleit voor fors meer grenscontroles, voert Duitsland de strijd tegen ‘illegale migratie’ steeds verder op. Om de controles nóg onvoorspelbaarder en effectiever te maken, worden langs de grens met Nederland zelfs helikopters ingezet. De kritiek op die massale politie-inzet zwelt aan.
