The survey, which has been running for a decade, reflects input from nearly 12,000 expats representing 177 nationalities in 181 countries or territories. John Coletti/The Image Bank Unreleased/Getty ImagesA longtime retirement destination for Americans, Mexico also has attracted more families and the digital nomad set over the past few years. Pros: Mexico ranked first in InterNations’ 2023 Expat Insider survey and has ranked among the top five countries since 2014. Cons: As is the case in Mexico and other countries with large expat communities, there’s growing backlash against the influx of foreigners, especially Americans, and especially in Lisbon. That popularity among auslanders has contributed to a housing pinch in major cities, especially Berlin, where finding accommodation is one of the most stressful aspects of a move.

From a health perspective, people in places like the U.S., Canada and Europe eat far more meat, especially red meat and processed meat, than recommended. There’s no question that cutting back on meat consumption could have real and lasting effects. Meat consumption is “orders of magnitude higher” in the U.S. than in low-income countries, and meals are often centered around it. Despite those hurdles, certain interventions can cut meat consumption, research shows. Interventions described as “nudges,” or small choices aimed at influencing behavior, appear to be among the most effective at cutting meat consumption.

In 2022, Amazon opened office space in de Koepel, a former prison in Haarlem, Netherlands. AdvertisementAdvertisementAmazon Web Services debuted a new office space in Haarlem, Netherlands in 2022 , but there's one unusual thing about it, which has gained traction on social media this week: the office is inside a former prison. Amazon uses space on the third floor of de Koepel, where prison cells have been converted into office spaces, and communal desks are available for individuals. The video shows a few former prison cells, with the AWS logo plastered just above the cell numbers. The prison is a dome-shaped building, with multiple stories of prison cells facing the central space.

☆ One dead as rare summer storm hits Netherlands
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( Bart H. Meijer | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

In Amsterdam, several people were injured as dozens of trees were toppled by the storm, damaging cars and houseboats along the city's canals. The storm, named Poly, is the Netherlands' worst ever during the summer months and its strongest overall since January 2018, weather agency Weeronline said. The last heavy summer storm was in 2015 and was the first in over a century. The summer storm is causing much damage as trees are heavy with leaves and many of them have become brittle during an unusually long dry spell in May and June. The storm will move east over the north of the country and is expected to become less intense during the afternoon.

☆ KLM, airline industry to fight Schiphol Airport flight cap in court
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-03 | by ( Tosterling Charlotte Campenhout | Charlotte Campenhout | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

AMSTERDAM, March 3 (Reuters) - KLM and other airlines on Friday said they are suing the Dutch government over plans to cap the number of annual flights allowed at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, saying it would hurt them, the Dutch economy and travellers. Others joining the KLM suit include Delta Airlines, easyJet, TUI and Turkey's Corendon Airlines. But the decision to cap the flights cited noise and air pollution concerns, not traveller's' distress. Schiphol Airport Group, which was also issued a summons in the KLM-led case, said it "regretted" the suit. Last month the airport said it would impose a 66,000 passenger per day cap for the 2023 May vacation period due to still-unresolved labour shortages.

☆ De la ospătar la agent care face sute de milioane de euro. Povestea lui Mino Raiola, omul care a revoluționat transferurile
▼ + stars: | 2020-12-17 | by ( ) www.jurnal.md time to read: +2 min

Povestea lui Raiola a început în restaurantul familiei. După ce a crescut, a lucrat ca ospătar în restaurantul familiei, cu specific italian și numit Napoli, și era cel care ținea legătura cu clienții, pentru că învățase olandeză mai bine decât tatăl său. Spre exemplu, când un client al restaurantului familiei s-a plâns de probleme cu furnizorii săi italieni, Raiola a rezolvat lucrurile. Atunci a legat o conexiune puternică cu Zlatan Ibrahimovic, care avea să-i aducă peste o sută de milioane de euro de-a lungul anilor. Spre exemplu, în 2012, Sir Alex Ferguson a povestit că era gata să-i prelungească înțelegerea lui Paul Pogba, dar Raiola a intrat în birou și a anulat tot.
