Amsterdam Escorts: Amsterdam’s canal district added to UNESCO list
THE HAGUE – Amsterdamâs 17th century canal district, added this weekend to UNESCOâs World Heritage List, is a remnant of the Dutch Golden Age, a time when the city led the world in art, trade and architecture.
The zone is composed of four curved canals that run parallel to each other and half encircle the Amsterdam city centre, including its famous red light district – the Singel, the Herengracht, the Keizergracht and the Prinsengracht.
…
“The Amsterdam canal belt is unique in the world as an urban developmental and architectural artwork,” the Amsterdam municipality says in a document backing its UNESCO bid.
It is an example of the cityâs 17th century economic, political and cultural blossoming – a time when Amsterdam was the “warehouse of the world”.
“The Amsterdam inner city is the most successful example of early modern city planning in Europe,” states the document, and the canal belt “a masterpiece of hydraulic engineering”.

Amsterdam Escorts: For the Gentlemen
London’s National Gallery houses over 2,300 paintings dating from the mid-13th century to 1900. They are arranged by period: 1250-1500, 1500-1600, 1600-1700, and 1700-1900. As might be expected of an iconic national asset, and one which attracts as many as five million visitors a year, the treasure it accommodates, like that of New York’s Metropolitan, is at times eye-watering. However, unlike the National, the Met’s collection enthusiastically embraces modernism. And it is the National’s failure to do so that creates the environmental flavor, which makes the sandwiching of Ed and Nancy Kienholz’s 1983-88 assemblage, The Hoerengracht, their life-size reconstruction of a sliver of Amsterdam’s red light district, so exhilarating, albeit superficially.
…
It would be hard to argue against the decision by the National’s director, Nicholas Penny to exhibit The Hoerengracht, the name of which is a pun suggesting “Gentleman’s Canal.” In placing it alongside scenes depicting prostitution from the 17th century by the likes of Vermeer and De Hooch, the intellectual and historical link is secured. However, The Hoetengrac …

Amsterdam Escorts: Trendy and naughty? Must be in Amsterdam
AMSTERDAM — “Maybe it’s supposed to be part of the fun, that you make your own bed,’’ my husband, Wessel, suggested as we stared at the large cover-less bed in our tiny room.It sounds crazy that we would even consider absentee bedding to be some sort of game. But at trippy citizenM, a Dutch hotel chain lauded for its playful modern style and interactive technology, anything seemed possible. The hotel’s Amsterdam City location, which opened in 2009, was named “trendiest hotel in the world’’ by a TripAdvisor survey this year, and its first location, which opened at Amsterdam’s Airport Schiphol in 2008, won the European Hotel Design Award of the Year. (A third location is due to open in Glasgow later this year.)It was my idea to stay at citizenM for its combination of high design and relatively low rates. Wessel thinks brightly colored, misshapen furniture is all a bit silly, but he does appreciate a bargain.The fashion forwardness and technological trickery caused us to doubt ourselves in the missing-c …

Amsterdam Escorts: Decoy Jews
June 30, 2010, 10:00 am
Decoy Jews
Dutch police who pose as Jews to catch anti-Semitic attackers.
Dutch police are to use “decoy Jews,” by dressing law enforcers in Jewish religious dress such as skullcaps, in an effort to catch anti-Semitic attackers.
Lodewijk Asscher, Amsterdam’s mayor, has ordered the new decoy strategy to cut the number of verbal and physical attacks on Jews, amid fears that anti-Semitic “hate crime” is on the rise.
According to Waterfield:
Amsterdam police already disguise officers as “decoy prostitutes, decoy gays and decoy grannies” in operations to deter street muggings and attacks on homosexuals or the city’s red light district.

Amsterdam Escorts: Police to patrol in Amsterdam disguised as religious Jews
Police to patrol in Amsterdam disguised as religious Jews
23 June 2010
The acting mayor of the Dutch capital Amsterdam, Lodewijk Asscher, has reportedly decided to deploy undercover police officers disguised as religious Jews on the streets in order to identify violent anti-Semites. “Jews in at least six Amsterdam neighborhoods often cannot cross the street wearing a skullcap without being insulted, spat at or even attacked,” the British newspaper ‘Daily Telegraph’ quotes Dutch media as reporting. Amsterdam police already disguise officers as decoy prostitutes, gay and old people in operations to deter street muggings and attacks on homosexuals or the city’s red light district.
Secret television recordings by the Jewish broadcasting company ‘Joodse Omroep’, broadcast over the weekend showed young men shouting and making Nazi salutes at a rabbi when he visited different areas of the Dutch capital.

Amsterdam Escorts: Dutch police plan decoy Jews
That may or may not be a genuine Jewish person you see walking around Amsterdam.
In a bid to reduce antisemitic hate crime Dutch police have revealed plans to post “decoy Jews” around the city.
If the idea is approved by the city’s mayor, police will be dressed in religious clothing and posted in Jewish neighbourhoods to catch out attackers.
Authorities have reported a rise in antisemitic assaults in several Dutch cities, with Jews in some Amsterdam areas reportedly unable to “cross the street wearing a skullcap without being insulted, spat at or even attacked”.
The unorthodox approach was suggested by Ahmed Marcouch, a Moroccan born politician following the emergence of footage of young Moroccan immigrants making Nazi salutes and shouting at a rabbi.
…
The strategy would not be entirely new to the Netherlands. Crime fighters have already posed as prostitutes and grandmothers to target attacks in Amsterdam’s red light district.

The team
History lesson
Qualified for eight finals, the first of them in 1934, finishing as runners-up in 1974 to West Germany when a set-up by Bild saw a couple of escort girls “dropped off” at their hotel pool the evening after the semi-final with Brazil and they allegedly “partied” with four Dutch players. That caused consternation in the camp and Holland lost. Johan Cruyff, their greatest player, decided to skip Argentina 1978, where they also lost the final to the hosts.
Tactics board
4-2-3-1 has been the way of it since the Marco van Basten years when 4–3–3 was the way of it, with the emphasis on Robin Van Persie for the goals, Mark Van Bommel and Nigel de Jong to cover the creaky defence, and Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van de Vaart to offer creativity and support for the lone striker.
