De Hooglandse Kerk is een gotisch kerkgebouw in de Nederlandse stad Leiden. Doordat het schip en de toren lager zijn dan het koor en het transept, heeft de kerk een zeer karakteristiek silhouet. De Hooglandse Kerk is in gebruik bij de Protestantse Kerk in Nederland.
Aan de bouw van de Sint Pancraskerk komt in 1535 voorgoed een einde.De verlenging en verhoging van het schip (dat tot de Rijn zou reiken en met twee torens daar zou eindigen); de stenen gewelven, luchtbogen en balustraden worden niet meer voltooid: het blijft slechts bij de nog steeds zichtbare aanzetten.
In de 17e eeuw vervult de Hooglandse Kerk een belangrijke religieuze en maatschappelijke rol in Leiden. Uit deze periode dateren onder meer de tochtportalen, de banken in de zijbeuken, de kansel, de uitbreiding van het orgel, vele grafzerken en de huizen aan de buitenzijde van de kerk.
In het midden van de 19e eeuw is de kerk bouwvallig, onder meer als gevolg van de ramp met het kruitschip in 1807. Even wordt zelfs sloop van de kerk overwogen. Zover komt het niet en van 1840 tot 1903 wordt de kerk flink gerestaureerd onder leiding van de architecten J.C. Rijk en W.C. Mulder. Onderdeel van de werkzaamheden zijn het tongewelf in het schip (1840) en de fraaie houten gewelven in het koor en het transept (1850) die een goed beeld geven van de oorspronkelijke ruimtewerking. Voorts wordt het hoogkoor ontdaan van het koorhek en de houten afscheidingen met de kooromgang.

The Sand Motor is an innovative method for coastal protection. The Sand Motor (also known as Sand Engine) is a huge volume of sand that has been applied along the coast of Zuid-Holland at Ter Heijde in 2011. Wind, waves and currents will spread the sand naturally along the coast of Zuid-Holland. This is called ‘Building with Nature’. The Sand Motor will gradually change in shape and will eventually befully incorporated into the dunes and the beach. The coast will be broader and safer.
Between March 2011 and October 2011, Rijkswaterstaat and the provincial authority of Zuid-Holland created the hook-shaped peninsula. It extends 1 km into the sea and is 2 km wide where it joins the shore. Trailing suction hopper dredgers picked up the sand ten kilometres off the coast and took it to the right place. There are also two offshore replenishment locations alongside the peninsula. The construction of the Sand Motor was completed in November 2011. Now, the forces of nature will take over and spread the sand along the shore, thereby reinforcing the coastline and creating a dynamic area for nature and recreational purposes.

Vandaag vond op het terrein van de Rotterdamse Voetbalvereniging Transvalia de laatste generale repetitie plaats van de Show & Marchingband Euroband uit Rotterdam. Dit in verband met hun deelname op zondag 31 juli 2022 aan het Wereldmuziekconcours 2022 te Kerkrade, Limburg, Nederland. De repetitie vond plaats bij een tropische temperatuur van plm. 30 graden Celsius. Dat viel voor de muzikanten in het geheel niet mee. Maar desondanks werd er goed gemusiceerd.

Duivenvoorde Castle (Dutch: Kasteel Duivenvoorde), Voorschoten, Zuid-Holland (South Holland), Netherlands
Some background information:
Duivenvoorde Castle is located near the town of Voorschoten in South Holland. It was first mentioned in 1226, making it one of the oldest stately homes in this area. However at that time it was just a defensive tower house surrounded by a moat.
The mansion is remarkable in that it has never been sold, which can be said of very few Dutch castles. It has passed by inheritance through several noble houses, sometimes through the matrilineal line.
For the first five centuries of its history, the castle was owned by one family, the van Duivenvoordes, who gave their name - at that time, van Duvenvoorde - to it. Although thus named, the van Duvenvoordes properly formed part of the House of Wassenaer, an ancient noble family which has played an important role in Dutch history. Towards the end of the 17th century an owner of Duivenvoorde Castle, Johan van Duvenvoorde, readopted the name of van Wassenaer. Therefore, although the same family remained in the House, this family was bearing a different name since then.
In 1717, two Roman stones were installed as plaques in the front hall. The larger of the two stones, dated between 196 and 198 AD, has an inscription on the front about the repair of an armory by Roman troops. The text on the back side is even older, dating from somewhere between 103 and 111 AD. In the making of the newer text, the stone was made smaller, damaging the older text. The smaller stone has a text that, through knowledge of the people named there in, can date the stone to around 205 AD.
Legend holds that both stones come from Brittenburg, the presumed Roman ruins that resurfaced above water off the coast of Katwijk in 1520. However, this cannot be true of the larger stone, because a military chronicle discovered in 1517 was indisputably taken from the text of the larger stone, thus implying that the stone was found in 1502 while plowing a piece of land near the Roomburg cloister.
The last private owner of the castle was Baroness Ludolphine Henriette Schimmelpenninck van der Oye (1891 to 1965). In 1960, knowing that with her death the house would be sold and the furniture dispersed, including the collections of portraits, porcelain and clothing and textiles, she decided to close the house and leave it in the care of a foundation for restoration. It was named the Duivenvoorde Foundation.
The Duivenvoorde Foundation began to restaurate the stately home then. The aim of the restoration was to restore it to its appearance in 1717, when it was designed and decorated by the Huguenot late baroque architect Daniel Marot, though this has not always been possible. The terrace from 1844 has been maintained, and the opening of previously sealed windows to allow more light into the living room has taken away some of the symmetry. The interior has been repainted to match the colors of 1717, and later piecemeal work has been done on the ceiling.
The Duivenvoorde Foundation has turned Duivenvoorde Castle into a museum and put the historic furniture on display. The central part of the house and the north wing have been made to look as though they were still in an inhabited house, giving the visitor the impression of going back in time and walking around a house from which the owners are only temporarily absent. However, the south wing is in fact still inhabited by Baorness Ludolphine Emilie Schimmelpenninck van der Oye, while her brother lives in the castle’s garden house.
Today visitors of the castle can view several rooms, including the great hall and the library, with the international collections of books, gold and silver metalwork, pottery, glass, porcelain, furniture as well as oriental art. But of course also the delightful garden can be wandered through.
Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Theater Zuidplein (Sybold van Ravensteijn), Small hall (kleine zaal),
We recently played in the Theater Zuidplein with our band and I must admit that it was the first time I was in this Rotterdam Zuid facility. In its history of more then 50 years the Zuidpleintheater underwent a renovation and a number of interior redesigns. It started its life as the "Groote Schouwburg".
Shown here is the smal hall - it can hold 170 persons and is very intimate - there's hardly any distance between the public and performers. Though while playing you don't register that 'cause of the stage lighting. Above is a dome (toneeltoren) with technical systems. Due to the placement of this dome and its relative size, the small hall can be acousticallly challenging.

Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog werden er op de Wierickerschans keuringen van munitie uitgevoerd. Als munitie werd afgekeurd werd het op het fort tot ontploffing gebracht. Op 5 februari 1960 verloor de Wierickerschans officieel zijn functie als vestingwerk. Het fort werd tot de jaren 70 van de twintigste eeuw als opslagplaats voor legergoederen gebruikt. Daarna heeft het Legermuseum in Delft het fort ook nog als opslagplaats gebruikt. Het fort heeft ook gediend als trainingscentrum voor waakhonden van Defensie. Dit trainingscentrum is later op particuliere basis voortgezet.

After World War II were performed on the Wierickerschans inspections in ammunition. As ammunition was rejected it was brought to the fort to be exploded. On February 5, 1960 the Wierickerschans officially lost its function as a fortress. The fort was in the 70s of the twentieth century as a warehouse for military goods. Then the Army Museum in Delft has also been used as a warehouse . The fort has also served as a training center for watchdogs of Defense. This training center is later continued on a private basis.

Johannes Franciscus Buziau aka Buziau (The Hague, 7 January 1877 - Rijswijk (Zuid-Holland), 3 February 1958) was a Dutch clownish comedian and revue artist.
Buziau was born into a family of musicians. When he was 6 years old, the family moved to Amsterdam and later to Antwerp. From an early age, he wanted to be a theatre performer, but found work as an ice-cream vendor in a theatre during the show's intermission. Wanting more, he joined Circus Renz in an act with water ballets, followed by a ladder act with a group of acrobats. Already at the age of seventeen, he became a full-time performer and toured with clownish numbers of which his creation Professor Rikiri became the most famous. With this act, he roamed theatres at home and abroad for nine years; it led to an international career. In 1914, he was asked by Henri ter Hall to perform in the revue Pas d'r op; this made him a revue artist instead of a variety artist. Because he now had a steady income, he was able to marry Geertruitje Hartemink and could also settle in Rijswijk. With the outbreak of World War I, he was forced to confine himself to the Netherlands, where from 1914 onwards, he became the crowd puller for Henri ter Hall's First Dutch Revue Company. The Ter Hall Revue was disbanded in 1928 because the Bouwmeester Revue was much more popular. Buziau joined Louis Bouwmeester jr. and from 1928 to 1942 he performed the same role for the Bouwmeester Revue. As a clown, Buziau was undisputedly the Netherlands' most popular comedian in the period between the two world wars. Film footage of the songs he did on stage was never shot, as he was afraid that the audience would otherwise stop coming to his theatre performances. His humour was based on his white painted face, perfect timing and dry remarks, without being banal or ambiguous. With his big eyes and big ears he had not a handsome but remarkable, clownesque face.
Yet, it is a myth that Buziau was never filmed, as has been claimed. His act of Professor Ri-Ki-Ri, in which he stacked a huge amount of chairs, tables and boxes on top of each other and climbed on top of them, was transformed into a film by Franz Anton Nöggerath jr., called A Helping Hand (1912). While the film had a plot device which explained why the 'professor' did his act (helping a poor, penniless violin player), the remaining print at the Eye Filmmuseum only contains Buziau's tour de force, ending with a close-up of his heavily made-up face. In the same year, Buziau also acted in the - lost - Nöggerath comedy Jopie gaat trouwen (Archibald gets married). In the UK, the character Jopie was called Archibald. In Germany and Austria the film was presented as Eine nasse Hochheitsreise (indeed the newlyweds fall into the water) and the character was called Viktor. Again in 1912, Buziau was in another Jopie comedy, this time set in the army called Attractive Archibald in the UK. In the late 1910s, Buziau returned to the screen for the comedies Er waren eens drie hoeden/ The Three Hats (Willy Mullens, Haghefilm 1918) and Op stap in Amsterdam/ On the spree through Amsterdam (Theo Frenkel Sr., 1919). Unfortunately, most of the films with Buziau are lost.
During World War II, performers often unwittingly became the assailants of resistance reactions by the audience. Allusions were expected from Buziau and the audience applauded gratefully for every ambiguous word. Famously, his quote became, "We used to have it good, but now we have it better.... 'Tis to be hoped we have it good again...". In another performance, Buziau walked on stage with a huge portrait, after which he said, "I was given a portrait by Uncle Herman, but now I don't know what to do with it. Hang it up or put it against the wall?" (a reference to the hated Luftwaffe leader Hermann Göring). In May 1942, Buziau, like many other popular Dutch performers, was detained by the German occupiers as a Todeskandidat in the hostage camp in Haaren. He was soon released again: a relation from The Hague had bribed officials. He never performed again after that time, because the events had affected him too deeply. Toon Hermans did create a furore with a Buziau impersonation from 1943 onwards. He would later become one of the big three of Dutch cabaret after 1945. Wim Sonneveld and Wim Kan, the other two of this trio, also revealed more than once that they regarded Buziau as one of their greatest examples.
Archive research revealed that Buziau was illiterate, could only write a few words and earned 5,000 guilders a week from his performances during the Depression.
