Firefighters’ Day / Dag van de Brandweer 2026

International Firefighters’ Day (IFFD) is observed each year on 4th May.

On this date you are invited to remember the past firefighters who have died while serving our community or dedicated their lives to protecting the safety of us all. At the same time, we can show our support and appreciation to the firefighters world wide who continue to protect us so well throughout the year. By proudly wearing and displaying blue and red ribbons pinned together or by participating in a memorial or recognition event, we can show our gratitude to firefighters everywhere. The IFFD ribbons are linked to colours symbolic of the main elements firefighters work with – red for fire and blue for water. These colours also are internationally recognised as representing emergency service. Firefighters dedicate their lives to the protection of life and property. Sometimes that dedication is in the form of countless hours volunteered over many years, in others it is many selfless years working in the industry. In all cases it risks the ultimate sacrifice of a firefighter’s life. International Firefighters’ Day is a time where the world’s community can recognise and honour the sacrifices that firefighters make to ensure that their communities and environment are as safe as possible. It is also a day in which current and past firefighters can be thanked for their contributions.

Permaculture Day / Permacultuur Dag 2026

Permaculture is an approach to land management and philosophy that adopts arrangements observed in flourishing natural ecosystems.

It includes a set of design principles derived using whole systems thinking and uses these principles in fields such as regenerative agriculturerewilding, and community resilience. Permaculture originally came from “permanent agriculture”, but was later adjusted to mean “permanent culture”, incorporating social aspects as inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka‘s natural farming. The term was coined by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in 1978, who formulated the concept in opposition to Western industrialized methods and in congruence with Indigenous or traditional knowledge. Permaculture has many branches including ecological designecological engineeringregenerative designenvironmental design, and construction. It also includes integrated water resources management that develops sustainable architecture, and regenerative and self-maintained habitat and agricultural systems modeled from natural ecosystems. Permaculture has been implemented and gained widespread visibility throughout the world as an agricultural and architectural design system and as a guiding life principle or philosophy. Much of its success has been attributed to the role of Indigenous knowledge and traditions, in which the practice itself is rooted. In turn, the rise of permaculture has revalidated Indigenous knowledge in circles where it was previously devalued.

#MayThe4thBeWithYou Star Wars Day 2026

Star Wars Day

Star Wars Day is an informal commemorative day observed annually on May 4 to celebrate George Lucas‘ Star Wars media franchise.

Observance of the day spread quickly through media and grassroots celebrations since the franchise began in 1977. The date originated from the pun “May the Fourth be with you”, a variant of the popular Star Wars catchphrase “May the Force be with you“. Even though the holiday was not created or declared by Lucasfilm, many Star Wars fans across the world have chosen to celebrate the holiday. It has since been embraced by Lucasfilm and parent company Disney as an annual celebration of Star Wars.

Wat doet dit Kabinet met jouw gegevens? Amerikaans IT-bedrijf Kyndryl wil Solvinity, dat gegevens van DigiD beheert, overnemen – e-mailactie

Wat doet dit Kabinet met jouw gegevens?

Het Amerikaanse IT-bedrijf Kyndryl wil Solvinity overnemen, het bedrijf dat de gegevens van DigiD beheert, en experts waarschuwen: bij een overname kunnen jouw persoonsgegevens in handen komen van de Amerikaanse overheid.

Persoonsgegevens in handen van de VS van Trump kunnen leiden tot serieuze gevolgen. Niet alleen kan Trump druk zetten op de Nederlandse overheid. Mensen worden aan de Amerikaanse grens al actief geweigerd op basis van wat er op hun telefoon staat, en juist trans personen, queer mensen, wetenschappers en activisten lopen extra risico. Kyndryl kan straks worden gedwongen om jouw DigiD-gegevens af te staan aan een regering die deze informatie inzet tegen kritische stemmen. Stuur met één klik een mail naar het Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken. Je doet daarin een beroep op je rechten onder de Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming (AVG): je vraagt inzage in jouw persoonsgegevens en wilt weten welke maatregelen het ministerie neemt om jouw privacy te beschermen bij deze overname. Hoe meer mensen deze mail sturen, hoe duidelijker het signaal: onze gegevens horen niet onder Amerikaanse zeggenschap. Het ministerie moet dit verzoek binnen één maand beantwoorden, voor iedereen die mailt. Het verzoek vervalt wanneer de overname niet doorgaat.

Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake 2026

Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake

De Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is een jaarlijks sportevenement in het gebied Cotswolds in Gloucestershire.

Het evenement was in eerste instantie door en voor de mensen die in Brockworth wonen, maar tegenwoordig komen de deelnemers uit alle delen van de wereld. Vanaf de top van Cooper’s Hill wordt een Double Gloucester-kaas naar beneden gerold en de deelnemers rennen erachteraan. De eerste die de finish onderaan de heuvel passeert, wint de kaas. In theorie is het de bedoeling dat de deelnemers de kaas proberen te vangen, maar dit lukt in de praktijk niet, want de kaas heeft één seconde voorsprong en kan snelheden tot zo’n 100 kilometer per uur bereiken. Als gevolg van de steilheid en het ongelijke oppervlak van de heuvel raakt gewoonlijk een flink aantal deelnemers gewond. Mede daarom besloot men in 2010 te stoppen met het officiële sportevenement, alhoewel er nog wel officieus wordt doorgegaan.

Bad Connection : Uncovering Global Telecom Exploitation by Covert Surveillance Actors – publication

Bad Connection
The investigation ‘Bad Connection‘ by Citizen Lab uncovers two sophisticated telecom surveillance campaigns and, for the first time, links real-world attack traffic to mobile operator signalling infrastructure.

The findings expose how suspected commercial surveillance vendors (CSVs) exploit the global telecom interconnect ecosystem, leverage private operator networks, and conduct covert location tracking operations that can persist undetected for years. Israeli telecom infrastructure was used to track citizens in more than ten countries over the past three years, according to a report published recently by the digital research group Citizen Lab. The findings, reviewed by Haaretz in recent weeks, expose how efforts to upgrade phone network infrastructures built in the 1970s for the smartphone era still leave even the most advanced devices exposed to surveillance. The report describes two separate tracking operations, each likely run by a commercial firm selling surveillance technologies to governments around the world. One was also found to have exploited Israeli geolocation technology to track targets, using networks belonging to 019Mobile and Partner Communications, although both Israeli companies denied any involvement. A second, more sophisticated operation is linked to a Swiss firm at the center of a 2023 Haaretz investigation for supplying Israeli surveillance companies, including Rayzone, which develops and sells cyber intelligence technologies to government agencies around the world.
