valuable experience on the world stage They earned a sixth-place finish under the guidance of Chef d’Equipe George Williams against a solid field of competitors Kevin Kohmann and Duenensee during the jog in Rotterdam “When you come over and compete in this kind of environment I do think there are learning opportunities,” said Williams it is going into a much more electric environment than what they have been used to So it is making sure that the horses have real confidence going into this kind of environment It shows [the athletes] how important it is to be able to up your game in top international competition I do think it was a very positive experience for them and a real building opportunity.” Three of the four competitors are from Florida where they have the Wellington and Ocala venues to gain compete on a regular basis with different venues and conditions horses and riders have a familiarity with venues where they compete often Rotterdam has always been a favorite for the US Team when coming to Europe to compete and it is normally on the schedule as one of the first shows of the tour the quiet wooded area for stabling and the walk to the rings A  second more

well for the future.” Ben Ebeling and Indeed finish their Freestyel in great form at Rotterdam 2023 With a points-based system used to determine the team placings and we came into this with realistic expectations We thought it was very important for them to gain this kind of experience,” said Williams I’m always looking to the future and trying to look at it in the sense of where we are going so

which can be called revolutionary - last year Especially many local residents came to have a look Click here to view the photo report.  We spoke to Nesco's owner Jozef van den Elsen This cultivation and trading company focuses on organic mushrooms and Smits nurseries with the 'co' of Cooperative added Its main products are white and chestnut mushrooms which it exports and supplies to retailers separate from other (sales) organizations that could influence the price "We now grow to order instead of delivering in bulk and just waiting to see what that yields," begins Jozef New building after fireThe company's premises burnt to the ground three years ago That prompted a massive investment in a future-proof new building to be able to produce They also switched entirely to organic farming was challenging because it requires plenty of skill and insight "That starts with the raw materials," says Noud deliver the Spent Mushroom Substrate back to where we got the organic straw and mostly also work energy and CO2-neutral." Jozef: "Hygiene is paramount in mushroom cultivation We deal with fungi that are very susceptible to so-called competing fungi We must work as clean as possible and use as little steam as possible That uses fossil fuel and increases the CO2 footprint." "We've managed to achieve a 30-40% energy reduction by using our waste heat That's realized through heat recovery from our cold rooms' refrigeration compressors Should we invest in solar panels in the future that reduction will be even higher," Jozel explains ingrowth and harvesting are done separately The company has four preparation cells and seven harvesting cells These 36 m (l) x 6m (h) cells each have 12 beds Labor was reduced by 20% thanks to further automation and using tilting beds "We've come a long way with automation," Noud explains we're busy automating the process where the mushrooms leave the conveyor belt and are placed in trays GTL has already completed a test set-up which looks very promising we must still tackle the supply and discharge Staff can use both hands at once to pick the mushrooms and place them on a conveyor belt The pickers no longer cut anything; the machine cuts the stalks off further along The mushrooms are packaged and weighed at a second location There is plenty of innovation and experimentation in the area of packaging Co-shareholder Jeroen Smits is absent.How is the crop kept profitable?There is much competition in the mushroom world with the best compost and the right growers," continues Noud only half of the growers within the Netherlands will remain "Last year's inflation dealt organic sales a considerable blow sales are returning to a reasonable level again but not yet the needed 10% of conventional mushrooms But it's difficult to raise prices in a declining sales market demand has now stabilized somewhat again." Considering the white versus specialist mushroom ratio Nesco sees a shift overseas toward exotic mushrooms 80% of the trade goes to retailers in North West Europe "That's quite an important sector for both standard and exotic mushrooms and retailers put a lot of effort into these products How are organic mushroom sales to eateries and in the out-of-home channel developing "I think only a few restaurants are consciously engaged in organic And that cost - caused by energy and labor - was hard to pass on the Agriculture and Horticulture Organization of the Netherlands indicated resulting in both conventional and organic growers not yet achieving what they actually need," Noud concludes The new building and working method have strengthened Nesco's competitive edge They want to further build on that and perhaps apply it to other cultivation companies in the future For more information:Noud SpetgensNesco B.V.Tel: +31 (0) 857 731 088 Tel: +31 (0) 629 404 559Email: [email protected]  Website: www.nescochampignons.nl FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 FreshPlaza.com The MICHELIN Guide Netherlands has added eight new restaurants to its prestigious list in April 2025 These new entries showcase a range of innovative culinary experiences across the country Bistro Toost serves an à la carte menu with Mediterranean influences Dishes include crab remoulade with crispy toast and mustard vinaigrette and hand-cut steak tartare with fries and mayonnaise The restaurant features dried leaves hanging from the ceiling Cellar Door operates out of the historic old town hall Chef Kalai’s menu includes venison filet with puffed red beet CUE offers a menu led by chef George Kataras Dishes include aged seabass with Sichuan pepper powder The restaurant also includes a basement listening bar with cocktails and DJ music founded by three former colleagues from De Librije Dishes include pearl-white skrei ballotine with fried oyster mushrooms and a spicy beurre blanc emulsion La Cebolla is located on the first floor of the De Witt cinema the restaurant focuses on local ingredients and Mediterranean flavors serving dishes such as full turbot with Indonesian spices and a cheesecake reinterpretation with Granny Smith sorbet and granola Muggels by Gijs offers an à la carte menu in a farmhouse setting Restaurant Bomas is under new direction by Inge Wollerich and Koen Bomas The restaurant serves a fine dining menu featuring glazed langoustine with shellfish jus located on the ground floor of the Supernova hotel offers Chinese cuisine with contemporary techniques Dishes include marinated kingfish with daikon Departments Kersten and illustrated with the story of Hans Hulsen who would not be alive today without this treatment 'I love you guys.' Hans Hulsen must write down this sentence several times a day the side effects of his cancer treatment are not too bad he received CAR-T cell therapy at Maastricht UMC CAR-T is an innovative form of immunotherapy that can be lifesaving for people with a very aggressive form of lymphoma who are otherwise out of treatment options Hans Hulsen from Sint-Oedenrode belongs to that group It is March 2021 when he feels a lump in a place where it does not belong - on his chest on the right side just below the shoulder."As big as a tennis ball," he says Hans tells his story sitting on the sofa of his vacation home in Sint-Oedenrode She is the only one who is allowed to come close to her husband The rest need to stay at least a few meters away The slightest infection can be fatal to him chemotherapy seemed to work and the tennis ball under his shoulder disappeared Hans and Ria celebrated by going on vacation the tumor had started growing again." The tennis ball was back A second round of chemotherapy did not help and the option of stem cell therapy was cancelled at the last minute it was time to think about the last wishes in the few months or weeks remaining a new treatment that works for quite a few patients: CAR-T cell therapy “Patients receiving this therapy are actually receiving a living drug," says Marie José Kersten professor of hematology at the Amsterdam UMC Kersten is an expert in CAR-T cell therapy and explains how the treatment works are taken from patients via a kind of dialysis machine These are then genetically altered outside of the body in a lab." T cells are part of our immune system and can fight cancer they do not recognize a tumor as an invader tumors can continue to proliferate undisturbed the Tcells learn to recognize a proliferating tumor the T cells are infected with a harmless virus that carries a piece of DNA instructing the Tcell to produce a certain protein This protein ends up on the outside of the Tcell like a kind of grabber that recognizes the cancerous cell so it can bind to it and launch an attack.” "You give a patient back millions of their own cells now with a specific 'antenna' for the cancer cells," Prof The therapy is relatively new and still under development There can be serious side-effects and it is by no means suitable for everyone only people with diffuse large-cell B lymphoma (a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma) and acute lymphatic leukemia are eligible the treatment has so far been approved only for children and young adults up to 25 years of age," Prof Patients with other forms of lymphoma or multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer) can now only be treated as part of a clinical study The modified T cells come from laboratories of corporate partners "We get an invoice of 356,000 euros for a tube of cells," says Prof Kersten."The total cost for a treatment runs to about 450,000 euros." New studies are therefore focusing on faster and cheaper production of CAR-T cells Every patient who may be eligible for this therapy is considered via consultation by Prof "We discuss the treatment option with about two hundred patients a year Half of them actually receive the therapy." Of those who may be eligible for the therapy Genetically changing the T cells takes four weeks and sometimes patients are too weak and cannot wait that long the side effects can be extreme and even life threatening an overreaction of the immune system." Patients may develop high fevers and low blood pressure They may have to go to intensive care for a few days The immune system also takes a hit because the T cells armed with their new protein (the grabber) also attack healthy B cells Kersten: “B cells are switched off for a longer period of time after the treatment This prevents the immune system from forming good antibodies against pathogens The brain can also be affected by the treatment harmful side effects for the nervous system usually occurs a few days after the cytokine storm A patient can be lucid one moment and completely confused an hour later We monitor that with memory tests and a writing test." Hans Hulsen therefore writes 'I love you guys' several times a day at the hospital in Maastricht “The 30th time it went like this," says Ria Hans could not even manage to name the city he was in anymore but the word would not come out."That was three days after the treatment He was given a drug that makes him apathetic He did that for weeks." Hans lost 12 pounds Hans: "That one was completely gone after about four days." A scan a month ago showed nothing Hans was certainly not the only one for whom the treatment worked “The treatment initially has effect in 80 percent of patients,” Prof “And in 50 percent we see a complete remission of the tumor we now dare to say that they are cured." She calls that last percentage extraordinary in light of the fact these patients had exhausted all other treatment options Time will tell if Hans stays free from cancer "I hope they can still say that a year from now And that it will continue like that." In any case Ria and Hans are planning their next vacation: "I really hope we can go out on the bike again Learn more about our innovative tumor research: How do head and neck tumors create an immunosuppressive environment?

Last year, 134,000 animals died in 10 separate fires according to animal rights group Wakker Dier the government said it would not force farmers to take further measures to prevent fires breaking out because of the cost of the investment The current measures do not include compulsory lightning conductors and sprinkler systems the isolated location of many farms means it can take the fire brigade some time to reach fires We could not provide the Dutch News service without the generous support of our readers Your donations allow us to report on issues you tell us matter and provide you with a summary of the most important Dutch news each day Many thanks to everyone who has donated to DutchNews.nl in recent days We could not provide this service without you Please help us making DutchNews.nl a better read by taking part in a short survey At Genson in Sint-Oedenrode the strawberry plants have been propagated since July in a renewed tray field the company that is involved in the propagation of plants wants to reduce the disease pressure with the new tray field it takes the first step towards mechanization "We have two hectares of runners cut in one day." growers would rather prevent harmful fungi than have it occur Meteor Systems and Broekman Agro have developed a system to work above the ground "We create distance between the plant and the anti-root cloth so that no diseases can be transmitted from there" Erik van Nieuwenhuyzen of Meteor Systems says The plants are now placed on a specially developed 28-hole tray that makes the mechanization possible The tray has a cutting edge that simplifies the process of cutting runners The ventilation holes also serve to drain excess water during heavy rain showers It is striking how close they are placed to each other in the new tray field "We can place about one and a half times as many plants per hectare," says Erik "That is particularly good news for growers who want to expand but do not have the space for it The system can be placed on the existing tray field without any restriction." "For activities such as cutting runners you must be able to be close to the plant That is no longer necessary with this system all the plants have the same amount of space "This results in a uniform growth and per plant also less water and fewer resources are needed all the water is collected and less of it disappears into the soil." In order to be able to do the work on the tray field Various machines can be coupled to this frame among other things to simplify the removing of cuttings from the plants Erik explains: "Due to the tight dimensions you can carry out work over the total width of five meters The tray field is the basis for mechanization A machine that makes it easier to cut runners has been in use for three weeks With that we have done two hectares in one day Much faster than with the handheld machine that is used when the plants are on the ground." cutting runners and leaf sucking is the first one "In the future we want to make the filling faster and the cutting removing easier In December the plants are removed from the trays it would be nice if that also could be done automatically."
