As winter flooding looms, it's worth noting that a young street tree in an asphalt surface can prevent 60% of the rain that falls on it from reaching the ground, even when not in leaf.
Increasing the low levels of urban tree cover should be a strategic national priority.

Succes van Frans docudrama over Jezus’ Heilig Hart leidt tot verhitte polemiek in Frankrijk
Een docudrama over het Heilig Hart van Jezus, Sacré Coeur, is een onverwachte najaarshit in Franse bioscopen. Weerspiegelt de film het religieuze reveil bij onze zuiderburen, of de macht van rechtse politieke media?

‘Colleges and universities still evince many faults and inequities, but they are more intellectually and culturally diverse, and more accommodating to free expression and social tolerance, than ever before. That’s why they’re under attack.’
This is such a good article on how the undermining of universities is part of an anti-democratic movement:
“Anti-university rhetoric is the language of an international pro-authoritarian movement opposed to centers of learning that model liberal-democratic values”
“Anti-university rhetoric is the language of an international pro-authoritarian movement opposed to centers of learning that model liberal-democratic values”
Tracing the roots of anti-university rhetoric (opinion)

Sinds de start van de werken aan het Justitiepaleis verdwijnen de steigers stukje bij beetje. Tegen eind dit jaar moet de voorgevel stellingvrij zijn, zo gaf bevoegd minister Vanessa Matz (MR) aan.
