According to the report, these servicemen use websites like Quizlet, Chegg Prep and Cram to memorize codes, jargon and even the status of nuclear bunkers. US soldiers accidentally revealed nuclear secrets through an online learning app. Source: Bellingcat Typically, European governments refuse to confirm or deny the specific locations of American nuclear weapons being stored within their borders. However, the latest leaks go so far as to determine the exact number and location of weapons in the bases, including that the bunkers are “hot” – with live ammunition and still in progress. active – or “cold”. The author of the investigative report, Foeke Postma, explains that the researchers were able to spot the flashcards by searching for several terms believed to be related to the nuclear bases. As a result, several sets of flashcards revealed information about bases across Europe, including in Germany, the Netherlands, and Turkey. Accordingly, a set of 70 cards with the title “Study!” (Learn!) revealed the number of active and inactive nuclear weapons at Volkel Air Base in the Netherlands, which the Dutch government considers secret. Other ministries revealed how soldiers must respond to different levels of alarm, where security cameras are located and the “warning signal” soldiers give over the phone to say they have been attacked by an attacker. taken hostage. Bellingcat discovered the flashcards have been in use since 2013 and most recently in April 2021. The site contacted NATO and the US military for comment before publishing the story, after which the tags were found to have been removed. East Asia Nonproliferation Program Director Jeffrey Lewis spoke to Bellingcat about the leaks. He called them “serious breaches” of security practice.

Vietnamese Ambassador to the Netherlands Pham Viet Anh works at the International Crop Center. Receiving the Ambassador and the delegation were Mr. Hans Kleijwegt, General Director; Mr. Mark Zwinkels, Director of the International Relations Department of WHC; Mr. Henk van Eijk, President of NVHBP and Ms. Mirjam Boekestijn, coordinator of NVHBP in the Netherlands. At the meeting, Ambassador Pham Viet Anh expressed his desire to continue to be supported by WHC for farming businesses in Vietnam and especially wanted to have a connection for agricultural students from Vietnamese universities. can participate in annual international student exchange programs at the Center, in order to acquire and update knowledge and modern technologies applied to the development of sustainable crop production in Vietnam. Horticulture-horticulture is one of nine industries in the Dutch economic development strategy. The Dutch horticulture industry develops according to the trend of globalization, supplying agricultural products to the world market. As a leading innovator in greenhouse technology, the Dutch horticulture sector plays a leading role in the international market for flowers, ornamental plants, vegetables, bulbs and renewable materials. The Netherlands is the world’s third largest exporter of nutritional crop products and the second largest exporter of agricultural products (after the United States). WHC is a vivid illustration of the integrated thinking, broad and long-term vision of the Netherlands in general and Dutch businesses in particular. The complex is an example of the connection according to the “golden triangle” formula between the Government – research institutions – enterprises. The Government creates conditions and mechanisms but does not provide financial support (according to regulations on fair competition). The research and manufacturing facilities related to farming send here applied research products, which are both learning and research tools and a production tool for commercial products. The center has 3 continuous zones including Education and Training, Research – Development, and Business Cooperation. This place is also a forum to share technology and innovation in the field of greenhouse cultivation. Every year, WHC welcomes about 25,000 international visitors and experts to visit, learn, share experiences, innovate in the horticulture industry and participate in fairs. WHC has a 4-year horticultural vocational school for about 1,200 students, not to mention international student exchange programs in this industry with courses of 3-4 months/year. This is also the place of convergence, display and regular exchange of 130 leading enterprises in the horticulture industry with modern products from automation machines, ventilation systems, water and humidity management systems. , temperature in the greenhouse to products such as plant protection films / nets, light blocking in greenhouses, plant seeds, biological fertilizers… In addition, the center also has a state-of-the-art research facility with 40 laboratories, where different researchers, entrepreneurs and educational institutions conduct research. Ambassador Pham Viet Anh visited some member enterprises of the Netherlands-Vietnam Commercial Horticulture Cooperation Association. The Netherlands-Vietnam Commercial Horticultural Cooperation Association (nvhortiplatform.com), established in December 2019, is a cooperation organization between Dutch and Vietnamese businesses, research institutes, government organizations and organizations. in the field of horticulture. Members build long-term relationships through sharing expertise, technology, resources, and trade promotion to enhance Vietnam’s horticulture industry, and at the same time contribute to access to the European market. Up to now, NVHBP has 10 Gold members, 2 Silver members, 22 Bronze members with many supporting partner agencies and organizations from both Vietnam and the Netherlands. On the Vietnamese side, Thien Dieu Company is both a Gold member and a coordinator for the Vietnamese side of NVHBP. Also during the meeting, NVHBP’s leaders and coordinators updated the projects implemented in Vietnam over the past time. In the context of the complicated situation of the Covid epidemic, the Association still strives to participate and co-organize activities at the Vietnam Academy of Agriculture, the Institute of Fruits and Vegetables, the Institute of Agricultural Sciences, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City. . Da Nang, Vietnam High Quality Goods Association, Mekong Connect 2020, National conference on processing and developing agricultural products market in Can Tho… Ambassador Pham Viet Anh visited some member enterprises of the Netherlands-Vietnam Commercial Horticulture Cooperation Association. On the same day, the delegation visited the cultivation model of two enterprises that are members of NVHBP including KP Holland Company (kpholland.nl) specializing in human, breeding, production and export of flowers and Onings Holland Company. (onings.com) a family business that has been around for 4 generations, started in 1935, specializing in exporting lily and tulip bulbs.

The ‘giant’ struggled to make his way through a Dutch canal Large super yachts weave through narrow canals in the Netherlands to create a very impressive scene, looking like a bulky giant walking among the tiny crowd. But not every day visitors also have the opportunity to admire that spectacle. Photographer Tom van Oossanen was fortunate to be present in time capturing those amazing scenes of a yacht up to 94 meters long. The ship, built by Dutch shipyard Feadship, has transported from the Kaag Island facility to the North Sea in Rotterdam. In a series of stunning images, the ship travels on the water passing by old houses and churches, making the crowd in awe. According to Tom van Oossanen, there are about 4 to 6 super yachts transported along the route each year before the start of the sea trials that normally take place in Amsterdam. “It’s always been a pretty complicated activity and everyone loves to watch,” said Oossanen. The design of the super boat is calculated very closely to perfectly fit for easy transport on water. Oossanen once saw four large super yachts on the same cruise. Designers have made a product whose dimensions cannot add one centimeter in length or subtract another centimeter in width. They have maximized the best design. Transshipment time depends on various factors such as wind direction, wind speed, bridge schedule, which can take from two to four days. Photographer Oossanen has captured such a transitional moment many times, but he emphasized that no scene is the same and that he himself is constantly trying to find new points. “Every boat is different. It’s always on the same route, but I try to find different angles,” he said. The design of the ship was carefully speculated to be able to get through the Dutch canal The photographer especially wanted to document this journey as he believes it may be one of the last times a ship of this size will travel along the route. It is known that Feadship has opened a new facility in Amsterdam, the Netherlands capable of building super yachts up to 160 meters long. The Dutch government has also confirmed the expansion plan in Kornwerderzand, which means that large ships can go directly from Makkum to the North Sea in the future.

The above report was made by Capgemini for KPN, one of the largest telecommunications networks in the Netherlands, in 2010. This report was later published by De Volkskrant . Although KPN acknowledged the existence of the report, the company stated on April 19 that it “had never seen Huawei steal customer information”. This telecommunication network also affirmed that none of their partners “have the ability to access illegally or have unlimited control over the system of KPN”. Huawei also denied that: “We have never been accused of illegal acts by the government”. Huawei is one of the telecommunications equipment suppliers that have suffered the most information theft charges in Europe. Photo: Shutterstock. KPN started using Huawei’s technology in 2009. After AIVD, the Dutch domestic intelligence agency, warned of the possibility of being eavesdropped, the KPN commissioned the report. The report concludes that users of KPN “can lose confidence” in this telecommunications network “if they know that the Chinese government can monitor calls of KPN mobile numbers”. Even after receiving reports from Capgemini, KPN continued to buy technical equipment to establish Huawei’s 3G and 4G networks, according to Guardian . However, by 2020, KPN becomes one of the first telecommunications companies in Europe to exclude Huawei from its 5G network development program. Instead, KPN chose Ericsson from Sweden to coordinate the construction of its 5G network. Meanwhile, the Dutch government is also tightening regulations on telecommunications equipment suppliers, including background checks on employees with access to the network.

The first party was at Amsterdam’s Vondelpark – a green space with a stunning view in the Dutch capital. Hundreds of people celebrate the warm spring days of February together. “This gathering is illegal but we still participate. They couldn’t make us stay at home. We’re bored, ”one woman told Dutch TV. Crowds attend the Field Lab’s concert in early March. Photo: CNN. Video recorded by a local television channel in Amsterdam showed the excitement of young people present at Vondelpark. One guest in attendance stated that they were “fed up” with the epidemic prevention rules. After that, the police arrived and dispersed this crowd. The mayor decided to close all entrances to the park, except for the two gates, so that everyone could come here. The second gathering took place only a few kilometers away at the Ziggo Dome theater. Hundreds of people showed up to enjoy the songs that folk singer André Hazes, Jr. Shows. But this time, the police did not show up. The concert is approved by the Dutch government, not limited to a maximum of 30 people in the enclosed space. Audiences were tested negative for Covid-19 for no more than 48 hours prior to the concert. They also wear electronic bracelets for easy tracing. The concert is essentially part of a test backed by the Dutch government to see if the event planning industry can stand its ground amid a slow rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination. CNN . Vivian Nagelkerke (26), who went to the concert with a friend, said: “It’s like a dream where everything is allowed. I felt lightheaded to go back to the theater. Before the pandemic, I attended 3 concerts a week ”. The attendees have their temperature measured and must have a Covid-19 test paper no more than 48 hours before entering The Ziggo Dome theater.

They held a series of events, from dance festivals, seat concerts to soccer matches, to study the behavior of attendees, while also monitoring any possible infections. happening. “So far, the ‘lab rats’ (referring to event participants) are very happy to be involved in the study,” said Andreas Voss, professor of infection control at Radboud University, laughing. Although no exact results have been released yet, Voss said by comparing data from concert attendees to national population data, the team believes attending an event can help. strict management with the early Covid-19 test is no more risky than daily life in the Netherlands. “To date, the risk has been mostly lower than in untested cases, out of the event. We are sure to have promising results, ”he said. The Dutch Minister of Health agrees. In early March, he called the Field Lab’s initial discovery “truly encouraging”. Cheerful, happy crowd attending the concert after such a long time. Photo: Ferdy Damman / AFP. Of course, there is still a risk not only for those who have attended the events, but also to whom they subsequently come into contact with. Therefore, the organizers asked the attendees to limit their contact with anyone in the vulnerable group, and to test Covid-19 5 days after the end of the event. Field Lab reported that to date, only 5 out of 6,000 people who have attended public events they organize are positive for Covid-19. However, they are not sure if the cases were transmitted from the Field Lab event. Emily Denissen “felt flustered” to attend public events. Photo: NVCC. Emily Denissen, who celebrated her 32nd birthday at one of Field Lab’s concerts, happily recounted: “What happened that night was amazing. Everyone to relax, enjoy their best ”. Part of the story “let loose” means forgetting about the epidemic room rules for the audience. Once they have consumed alcohol, many people take off their masks and forget about social distance. However, that was not too surprising, nor was it bad. “We are not influencing them in any way,” said Professor Voss. We also do not prompt to follow the rules, because we want to know what will happen in real-life events. “It is true that during music festivals masks are removed more quickly,” he said. Meanwhile, at auditorium events, business conferences and soccer matches, more than 94% of attendees maintained wearing masks. Despite being the subject of research, Niels Fekken (21 years old) can not hide the happiness of attending a concert after more than a year at home due to the pandemic. “I can barely describe it with words. Unbelievable. From last year until now, maybe this is the first time I feel so happy, “Fekken shared with CNN .
