5 top investors in Dutch startups discuss...

November 24, 2020

The Netherlands’ ecosystem has been flourishing; more than $85 million was invested in regional startups in 2019 alone. The nation’s proximity to the U.K., Belgium, France and Germany makes Amsterdam a natural gateway to those markets. Long ago the savvy Dutch realized this, and built up Schiphol to become the world’s twelfth-busiest airport. Indeed, Amsterdam’s logistical and social connectedness is ranked number one in DHL’s Global Connectedness Index. Plenty of good funding rounds, a highly skilled workforce and a……

An antidote to “fast fashion”

November 24, 2020

In today’s world of fast fashion, retailers sell only a fraction of their inventory, and consumers keep their clothes for about half as long as they did 15 years ago.

The startup Armoire is addressing these issues with a clothing rental service designed to increase the utilization of clothes and save customers time. The service is based on machine-learning algorithms that use……

My Hunt for the Original McDonald’s French-Fry...

November 23, 2020

From Julia Child to Paul Bocuse to James Beard, some of the biggest names in food history are also people who have professed their love for the same french fry—a french fry that, in no exaggerated manner, birthed an empire. A french fry that no one has eaten in more than 30 years. McDonald’s original french fries were cooked in beef tallow. For that fact, they were bullied out of production by a well-funded, well-intentioned businessman and self-proclaimed health……

How German Librarians Finally Caught an Elusive...

November 23, 2020

On the afternoon of February 21, 2006, Norbert Schild sat down at a desk in the reading room of the City Library of Trier, in western Germany, and opened a 400-year-old book on European geography. Working quickly, Schild laid a piece of blank white paper on top of the book, took a boxcutter from his lap, and discreetly sliced out a map of Alsace from pages 375 and 376. Schild hadn’t noticed that the desks of two librarians, who……

Arch of Dolabella in Rome, Italy

November 23, 2020

Caelian Hill is one of the original Seven Hills of Rome and a pleasant escape from the bustle of the city. Across the region are churches, orchards, and the green lanes of a lesser-known park in Rome, Villa Caelimontana. It welcomes the casual visitor into a setting largely untouched since the 19th-century. However, Caelian Hill is rife with history and lesser-known monuments.
