The Low Down On Amsterdam Escorts.

AMSTERDAM—Your Choice, one of the oldest and most respected adult companies serving the United Kingdom and Europe, has announced the hiring of industry veteran Scott McGowan to handle internet distribution for Your Choice Productions.
The relationship between Scott McGowan and Your Choice began in 2005. It was a snowy afternoon just outside of Amsterdam when McGowan and Your Choice Product Manager Jacco Kwakkel sat down over beers to exchange ideas and, of course, get drunk. Both goals were achieved.
…
For McGowan, this ends a two-year hiatus from the adult entertainment industry. “I wasn’t sure that I’d ever return to adult for variety of reasons,” said McGowan. “But when my wife and I decided to move to the Netherlands, it seemed only natural that I get in touch with Your Choice. I’m honored that an ethically sound company with such a rich history has invited me to be a part of their team.”

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.
“Jews in at least six Amsterdam neighbourhoods often cannot cross the street wearing a skullcap without being insulted, spat at or even attacked,” according to local reports.
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.
Police in the Dutch city of Gouda have claimed the use of officers disguised as apparently frail old age pensioners has helped cut street crime.

I find it hilariously convenient that I begin writing a review of Connan Mockasin’s Please Turn Me into the Snat almost immediately following a three-day trip to Amsterdam, a weekend filled with hazy days and confusing nights. Though I barely touched mind altering substances, the city itself is very disorienting, with its winding canals, bike paths, tram lines, and car lanes, all which seem to operate in complete independence of one-another. There appears to be little order in the city’s planning, but, paradoxically, everybody who resides there seems to understand the infrastructure perfectly well. Bikes zoom by in between trams, which share lanes with buses and cars, while high and drunk people wander and stumble in between. It’s a miracle these fools make it back alive to tell their friends about their misadventures. In combination with the substances, Amsterdam invites its residents and tourists to enjoy, the place is a bit mind-bending to say the least. And that’s not even considering the city’s red light district at nighttime. But let’s leave that for another discussion.

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.

The 47-year-old Nicholas A. from Benin is sentenced to prison for five years. He was charged for human smuggling and trafficking by the Dutch court in Amsterdam.
The man says he is a Roman Catholic priest but on January 24 2009 he tried to travel through Amsterdam airport to Zurich with eleven Africans. The public prosecutor initially demanded six years of imprisonment.
Last year the Dutch Royal Military Police was tipped by security officials of KLM Dutch Royal Airlines. According to the public prosecutor the man has been engaged in human smuggling for a long time. The victims said they had paid a lot of money to travel to Europe. Two of the victims said they were forced through voodoo rituals to work as prostitutes.
The court believes that Nicholas A. was present at these rituals. A. is also thought to have been involved in the preparation of the smuggling. The group who were smuggled into The Netherlands pretended to be a group of tourists.

… Reluctant Cosmopolitans: The Portuguese Jews of 17th-Century Amsterdam” by Daniel M. Swetschinski, The Littman Library of Jewish Civilization, 394 pages, $55
…
The Dutch, like the Jews, are a highly practical people, able to live quite well with ambiguity and to finesse their own laws and regulations out of practical considerations Swetschinski describes well the basic attitude of tolerance with which Holland has long been imbued. But he also notes that the Jews were never officially granted freedom of worship by Amsterdam. They were recognized as a community in 1598 and allowed to become burghers (citizens of the city) under condition, as was stated at the time, “that before making the oath [of citizenship], they be warned that in this city no other religion can nor may be practiced than that practiced publicly in the churches.”

Dutch authorities said yesterday that they had busted an international gang which lured women mainly from Hungary to Amsterdam and forced them to work as prostitutes in the city’s infamous red light district.
Nine people have been arrested, including three female Hungarian pimps and Dutch brothel owners, a spokesman for Amsterdam’s prosecution service said yesterday.
Gang members enticed victims to Amsterdam with promises of a better future, where they used violence and rape to intimidate while forcing the women to work as prostitutes in the red-lit windows that attract many tourists to the city each year.
