Het is vandaag Wereld #Sepsis Dag. Sepsis is een ernstige, vaak dodelijke ziekte. Herken de symptomen. Elk uur eerder ingrijpen verbetert je overlevingskansen. Mijn dochter overkwam het toen ze 14 was. Een licht ontstoken teennagel. 7 jaar verder en nog iedere dag last van de gevolgen.

MapQuest is now the No. 1 US app after bucking Trump’s ‘Lake America’ renaming MapQuest’s unlikely comeback just got even bigger. The “OG” mapping application (that many thought no longer existed!) became the No. 1 overall app on the U.S. App Store.

Kijkduin, 21 augustus 1673. Vlakbij Den Helder vond de Slag bij Kijkduin plaats. Een Engels-Franse vloot probeerde Holland vanaf de zeekant te veroveren. Michiel de Ruyter had het het bevel over meerdere oorlogsschepen en was goed bewapend, maar de tegenstanders waren groter en sterker. 1/3

“The most effective approach is to build a network and to build it as quickly as possible. But it’s worth emphasizing bike lanes alone do not make a network. In the Netherlands up to two thirds of the network is in mixed, low-traffic conditions, where the bike is the dominant mode.” bit.ly/4fskIGm

Never use Amsterdam as an example for better city design. IMO, it's Dutch Disney Land. Real urbanism and transportation design principles are to be learned almost anywhere else in the country. If you want to get a vision of what the US could achieve in a modest timeframe, visit Rotterdam.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
