Diver Jesse retrieves Mona's lost phone: Full of valuable files

Bad luck for the German Mona who is studying in Breda: she dropped her phone in the canal. Because there were many valuable files on it, she called in a diving school to get her phone back. With result.

The Breda diving school DiveSenses regularly receives requests to find lost items. "Often these are things that are of real value to people. Wedding rings, telephones on keys", diver Jesse Zuidmeer tells EditieNL. He went looking for Mona's phone on Saturday.
"Mona is studying photography in the Netherlands and her phone contained a lot of valuable documents that she had not stored anywhere else. So it was very important for her to get her phone back."
So Jesse went into the canal. He searched for her phone with a friend for an hour and a half. "Mona was able to tell us exactly where the phone had fallen into the water." Because the canal is only two meters deep, Jesse could stay in the water for a long time. "You then use almost as much air as on the surface, so we could search for a while. When we finally found the phone, Mona was very happy."
Jesse doesn't know whether the phone still works. "I advised her to let the phone dry for three days, otherwise it will short circuit. If it works again, she would let you know."
Mona has now informed the diving school that her SIM card and SD card have been saved, so she has a large part of her files back.

Municipalities support National Moluccan Monument

This year it will be 70 years ago that the 1st generation Moluccans were transferred to the Netherlands in 1951 with 12 ship transports. On command, about 4000 Moluccan KNIL soldiers and Navy men came to the Netherlands with their families (in total 12,500 persons). At the point of arrival of the 1st transport ship at the Lloydkade in Rotterdam, it is not yet possible to trace a historical event. The National Moluccan Monument Foundation (LMM) is committed to realizing a monument. The monument will be a tribute to this 1st generation Moluccans and their families and in recognition of the shared past. The monument can also serve to continue telling the story of the arrival of Moluccans in the Netherlands to current and future generations. For anyone interested in this history, the foundation wants to offer an opportunity to learn more. They believe that more knowledge of each other's past leads to more understanding. To realize a monument, the LMM foundation has entered into a p

Largest water lily in the world blooms in Leiden

The oldest botanical garden in the Netherlands, the Hortus Botanicus in Leiden, has a wonderful pineapple scent. That means that the Victoria Amazonica is in bloom. With leaves that can grow up to two meters wide, this is the largest water lily in the world and its flowers smell like pineapple. The flower of the Victoria Amazonica is a night bloomer and only blooms in high summer. What is special is that the water lily only blooms for two nights. Rogier de Vugt, cashier of the Leiden Hortus Botanicus, knows everything about the plant. "The first night the flower is white and gives off a strong pineapple smell, which attracts beetles. The second night the flower turns pink and has no smell anymore. The beetles still come to it and are covered with pollen", explains De Vugt. Because the plant has an enormous size, only one can grow in the pond of the Hortus. "The leaves have raised edges, so they can't grow over each other, so they can't get any light anymore. Th
