Editor’s Note: This article was originally published by The Art Newspaper, an editorial partner of CNN Style. (CNN) — Six paintings stolen from an old town hall in the small coastal town of Medemblik in north Holland have been returned via an unusual doorstep delivery to an art detective nearly 40 miles away in Amsterdam. Brand, dubbed the "Indiana Jones of the Art World," made international headlines last month after recovering a stolen work by Van Gogh. A spokeswoman for the Medemblik municipality told The Art Newspaper that the find was a surprise. “But,” he added, “I have asked for a book voucher.”Read more stories from The Art Newspaper here.

☆ Twitter not suited for emergency communications, Dutch say after storm
  + stars: | 2023-07-05 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
AMSTERDAM, July 5 (Reuters) - Twitter is not the right place to seek information during an emergency, Dutch politicians and a prominent online group said on Wednesday, following an incident in which citizens were directed to the platform for updates during a large storm. Twitter could not immediately be reached for comment. "It's ridiculous to use Twitter," said Bits of Freedom spokesperson Ber Engels, citing problems with dis-information and Twitter being hard to reach quickly for people without accounts. "You might see one tweet with great information from emergency services, but maybe there are 10 tweets that Twitter prioritizes which contain completely false information," he said. The regional fire department's Twitter account is not verified.
