die Wekdienst 9/5: Demonstraties in Duitsland • Benefiet in Caribisch deel koninkrijk By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 08:14:48 +0200 Goedemorgen! In Duitsland zijn er demonstraties tegen de coronamaatregelen in het land, en Jandino Asporaat organiseert een benefiet. Het wordt een overwegend zonnige dag. Met 20 tot lokaal 26 graden wordt het nog een stuk warmer dan in de afgelopen dagen. De noordoostenwind is zwak tot matig. Ga je vandaag de weg op? Hier vind je het overzicht van de werkzaamheden. Check hier de aangepaste dienstregeling voor het spoor. Wat kun je vandaag verwachten? Het is in Rusland de Dag van de Overwinning. Het is 75 jaar geleden dat het Rode Leger nazi-Duitsland versloeg. Vanwege de coronacrisis zijn er dit jaar geen militaire parade of veteranen op het Rode Plein. Wel vliegen er gevechtsvliegtuigen over Moskou. In Duitsland zijn in diverse steden demonstraties tegen de coronamaatregelen van de regering. Er worden duizenden deelnemers verwacht. Cabaretier Jandino Asporaat organiseert vanavond de live benefietshow Samen één Koninkrijk. De show, waarmee geld wordt ingezameld voor inwoners van Curaçao, Aruba en Sint-Maarten, is direct na het NOS Journaal van 20.00 uur te volgen op NPO 1. Wat heb je gemist? Verpleeghuizen hebben sinds begin maart al geprobeerd hun personeel te laten testen op het coronavirus, maar werden geweigerd door laboratoria, terwijl die soms voldoende testcapaciteit hadden. Zelfs toen half maart bezoek aan verpleeghuizen werd verboden vanwege besmettingsgevaar, werd het personeel niet getest. De tests werden geweigerd omdat onduidelijk was waar in Nederland er beschikbare capaciteit was. Het grootste laboratorium van Nederland, Star-shl, had naar eigen zeggen wel capaciteit, maar weigerde aanvankelijk verpleeghuizen, omdat het RIVM dit voorschreef. "Marktwerking leidde de afgelopen tien jaar tot een wildgroei aan laboratoria", schrijft Trouw, dat samen met Argos en De Groene Amsterdammer het journalistieke onderzoeksplatform Investico inschakelde om het nieuws over de tests te achterhalen. "Waar voorheen één of twee labs per regio waren, zijn er nu landelijk ruim honderd. Volgens GGD'ers en arts-microbiologen is het overzicht zoek."

die Man die vriendin doodde mag eind van zijn straf thuis uitzitten wegens corona By nos.nl Published On :: Sat, 09 May 2020 12:21:58 +0200 175 gedetineerden aan het einde van hun celstraf mogen de tijd die hun nog in de gevangenis rest thuis uitzitten. Gevangenissen willen voorkomen dat ze telkens met proef- en weekendverlof gaan en dan besmet raken met het coronavirus. Een van de gevangenen die nu met een enkelband thuis zitten is veroordeeld voor de dood van Kim Stoker uit Emmen. Haar vader is woedend. "Ik snap hier helemaal niks van. Die man hoort gewoon opgesloten te zitten in zijn cel. Daar is hij toch ook veilig voor corona", aldus Rob Stoker bij RTV Drenthe. "Dit is te bizar voor woorden." De 24-jarige Kim Stoker werd op 10 februari 2013 doodgestoken in haar flat in Emmen. Haar vriend werd veroordeeld tot twaalf jaar cel wegens doodslag. Rob Stoker stuitte bij toeval op het bericht in een regionale krant, waaruit bleek dat een groep van 24 gedetineerden in de zeer beperkt beveiligde inrichting (ZBBI) in Veenhuizen met elektronisch toezicht naar huis is gestuurd vanwege het coronavirus. Vorige week kreeg hij de bevestiging dat een van de 24 de moordenaar van zijn dochter is. De regeling geldt niet alleen voor de gedetineerden in het Drentse dorp, maar in totaal voor 175 gevangenen in heel Nederland. "Zij hebben een enkelband en slapen thuis", aldus Eveline Petit van de Dienst Justitiële Inrichtingen bij RTL. Tijdelijk verlof Alle 175 zitten aan het einde van hun gevangenschap. Overdag zijn ze buiten de gevangenis aan het werk. Ze krijgen ook weekendverlof. Dat leidt tot veel inkomend en uitgaand verkeer in de gevangenis en dat verhoogt het besmettingsrisico. Het is niet duidelijk hoe lang de regeling nog loopt. Stoker heeft van de gevangenis gehoord dat het om een "tijdelijk" verlof gaat. De moordenaar zou het resterende deel van zijn straf (tot februari volgend jaar) in de cel moeten uitzitten "zodra de coronacrisis dat toelaat". "Maar ik geloof daar echt niet meer in", zegt Stoker. De Emmenaar onderneemt verder geen actie. "Ik kan er wel heel erg boos over doen, en het totaal niet eens zijn met dergelijke procedures, maar het helpt toch niks. Het is zo frustrerend."

die BEETHOVEN, L. van: Ruinen von Athen (Die) (The Ruins of Athens) (Chorus Cathedralis Aboensis, Turku Philharmonic, Segerstam) (8.574076) By www.naxos.com Published On :: Sat, 01 Feb 2020 00:00:00 GMT Die Ruinen von Athen (‘The Ruins of Athens’) was composed to celebrate the opening of the new German theatre in Pest in 1812. Designed to accompany the play of that name by August von Kotzebue, its incidental music is substantial enough to form a kind of one-act Singspiel and is full of attractive arias, duets and choruses and includes the famous Turkish March. Though the work’s theme was rooted in Greek mythology, in reality it was explicitly political in nature, celebrating Pest as ‘the new Athens’. This is the first ever recording of the work with full narration. Full Article
die PIZAN, C. de: Book of the City of Ladies (The) (Unabridged) (NA0456) By www.naxos.com Published On :: Wed, 29 Apr 2020 00:00:00 GMT Shocked and distressed by a male writer’s vilification of women, Christine de Pizan has a powerful dreamlike vision in which she is visited by three personified Virtues: Reason, Rectitude and Justice. They tell her she has been chosen to write a book which will be like a city, housing virtuous women and protecting them from feminist attack. Heroines past and present form the foundations of this city—biblical and mythical heroines, ruling queens, Christian saints, and inventors are among them. Partly myth, partly fact, The Book of the City of Ladies is an extraordinary, pioneering and impassioned defence of women that set out to shatter medieval misogynist clichés, and serve to instil self-worth in its female readers of the time.

It remains one of the most extraordinary and technically demanding of all such works. It offered Godowsky—one of the greatest virtuosi of his age, but a haphazard teacher—an opportunity to resolve his innovative theories of keyboard technique. His exploration of developing the left hand in these studies remains revolutionary, and his ambition of ‘furthering the art of pianoforte playing’, triumphantly vindicated. Full Article
