NIJMEGEN (ANP) - De opvarende van het cruiseschip de Hondius die donderdag is opgenomen in het Radboudumc, is positief getest op het hantavirus. Dat bevestigt het ziekenhuis in Nijmegen op basis van informatie van het Rijksinstituut voor Volksgezondheid en Milieu (RIVM). De patiënt ligt in isolatie.

Ook moet Gillis boetes van in totaal ruim 1,3 miljoen euro betalen. De rechter weegt mee dat Gillis eerder voor fiscale misdrijven is veroordeeld. Gilles hield ruim 2,8 miljoen achter, schat de Belastingdienst.

De Duitse bewoners rond de Amerikaanse vliegbasis Ramstein, waar duizenden Amerikaanse militairen met hun gezinnen wonen, geloven niet dat het zo’n vaart zal maken met de aankondiging dat het aantal Amerikaanse soldaten in Duitsland zal afnemen. „Ze hebben hier in de afgelopen jaren zoveel geïnvesteerd.”

The pianist binds Schubert’s D850 with Schumann’s Kinderszenen with playing of warmth and crystalline technique

Arcadi Volodos records infrequently, making each album something of an event. The two works here, both staples of the Romantic piano repertory, couldn’t be more different, and yet he manages to bind them together, bringing elasticity and a dash of fantasy to Schubert’s D major sonata, D850 while investing Schumann’s evergreen Kinderszenen with a dose of Schubertian longing.

In the sonata’s opening Allegro vivace, he’s far less headstrong than, for example, Alfred Brendel or Radu Lupu, but notably more flexible – daringly so at times. Measured phrases are shaded with supple rubato, the line enlivened with tiny dynamic emphases. The expressive slow movement, laced with musical question marks, exudes a calm benevolence. Volodos can be playful, too, with a mischievous take on the disorderly scherzo and a dainty finale that borders on the coquettish.

Albert Heijn in Ouddorp wil graag open op zondag, maar dat mag niet van de gemeente en nu ook niet van de rechter. De franchisenemer van de supermarkt aan de Dorpstienden trekt daarmee aan het kortste eind. De gemeente wil de zondagsrust bewaren, zoals ook in andere plaatsen waar veel gelovigen wonen gebeurt.

Lines, Ranked. “2. Assembly. It’s not glamorous, but hot damn is it effective.”

For the better part of two decades, Irina Werning has traveled throughout Latin America searching for a specific trait: incredibly long hair. In her photography series Las Pelilargas—meaning “the long-haired ones” in Spanish—she chronicles a time-honored Indigenous tradition through a visual celebration of patience, joy, and cultural pride.

In a statement, Werning shares that when she asks young women in the many small towns she’s visited why they have long hair, they respond with simple reasons akin to, “Because I like it.” But, Werning adds, “The true reason is invisible and passes from generation to generation. It’s the culture of Latin America, where our ancestors believed that cutting hair was cutting life, that hair is the physical manifestation of our thoughts and our souls and our connection to the land.”

Nearly 90 images are included in Werning’s new book, Las Pelilargas, published by GOST Books. The photos span 18 years, starting with the artist’s first encounter with long-haired women in 2006 in Argentina, when she was photographing members of the Indigenous Kolla community.

“Guided by her intuition, she went on to spend months in remote mountain towns putting up signs in schools, hospitals, and markets, and organising hair competitions in an effort to seek out those with long hair,” GOST says. Werning continued to make the portraits until 2024. “She found that traditions were not just surviving, but evolving with long hair symbolising both continuity and subtle rebellion.”
