We all feel a little lost and confused sometimes. It's part of the human condition. We need a little reassurance. We have difficulty sussing things out. We can't see the forest for the trees. We need a little help. We need clarity. We want to know what lies ahead so we can plan accordingly or change course completely. Together we can look ahead at your year to come and discover solutions.
THAT'S WHERE A SUPER-DUPER IN-DEPTH YEARLY TAROT READING ENTERS THE PICTURE.
Your Super-Duper In-Depth Yearly Tarot Reading is a real humdinger. It starts with the current month and gives you a one year, month by month in-depth view of what's in store for your year to come and then delivers it to your inbox as a handy little (okay…it's not so little) pdf for you to review and reference over and over throughout the year.
IF A YEAR AT A GLANCE TAROT READING IS SNORKELING, THEN A SUPER-DUPER IN-DEPTH TAROT READING IS SCUBA DIVING.
Year At A Glance shows you the single most important circumstance of each month with a single card. Super-Duper In-Depth? Three cards per month. BAM! You'll dive deeper into what each month has in store which means greater understanding and guidance for you.
…then this reading is for you. You can prepare for roadblocks (and even minimize them or avoid them all together) and look forward to and maximize the calm and blissful moments as well.
I take a no bullsh*t approach. This doesn't mean I'm mean or rude. It means that I tell you what needs to be told and sometimes that's the not so good along with the good. What do you benefit if I give you all the sugar and don't give you a heads up for the less sweet moments that may be ahead? You don't. You feel good for a little while and then crap goes wrong and you're left wondering what you could have done to prevent it or at least lessen its impact. And that's the second thing that makes me different.
I GIVE YOU IDEAS ON HOW TO ROCK THE GOOD AND LESSEN THE NOT SO GOOD.
I don't just tell you life is going to be sucking hard next month and then leave you hanging. I give you suggestions on ways to prepare, avoid or at least lessen the impact of the bad crap and how to really dig in to the good. I also help you find that elusive (albeit often slightly tarnished) silver lining in the not so hot moments. There are always lessons to be learned and benefits to be found in even the most yuck-tastic of situations. I help you find them.
A Super-Duper In-Depth Yearly Tarot Reading provides a month by month look at what's potentially* in store for you. If you keep an appointment book and like to write to do lists then this reading is for you. It gives you an in-depth overview of the next twelve months so you can formulate a plan and help set the course for you life.
GOING THROUGH A TRANSITIONAL PERIOD?
Then this reading is perfect. Okay, so technically we're always in a transitional period, but I mean one that has bit more depth, a bit more bite to it. It helps you gain more clarity on your year ahead which can help ease you through transitions or change your perspective on situations.
That being said, you don't have to be in a state of upheaval to receive a reading. Sometimes the best reason to get a reading is just for the hell of it. Curiosity is a good thing, despite what any cats might tell you.
You purchase your Super-Duper In-Depth Yearly Tarot Reading, I meditate, draw a ton of cards and email you my interpretation. You'll receive an email confirming your reading as well as the date it will arrive via email within 24 hours** of your purchase. Your reading will arrive as a pretty little pdf (well…not so little since it is an entire year's worth of information) broken down month by month (starting with the current month) and card by card. It's that easy.
If you find anything confusing or unclear or you have any questions about your reading you are absolutely free to email me and I'm more than happy to answer as best I can with a quick follow-up to make things as crystal clear as possible.
I PERFORM MY READINGS COLD.
This means I know nothing (or if I already know you, then as little detail as possible about the current situation at hand) about you, your life or your current situations/circumstances. What this means for you is that when you purchase your reading DO NOT include any information or details other than your name and your email address (so you can receive the pdf of your reading, of course).
DOES THAT MEAN I CAN'T ASK A SPECIFIC QUESTION?
First of all, if being a reiki master has taught me anything it is that what we think we need and what we actually need are 99.999999999% of the time two completely different things. I let The Universe tell you what you need to know at the time.
But sometimes your instincts are right and the things that have been in the forefront of your mind are precisely what The Universe thinks you need to know. Other times it's not. Sometimes we have to take the longer path to reach our destination and the PTB (Powers That Be, or whoever it is that is in charge of this stuff) know that all too well. The journey is the destination and blah blah blah…you know what I mean?
Second of all it ensures I'm on the level. If I know nothing about you and your circumstances then I can't possibly use that information to manipulate your reading and design it to prey on you and your hopes and fears. It helps keep everything above board – all nice and honest like.
Of course there are a million more reasons why I do cold readings but if I listed them all we'd be here all freakin' day and that simply won't do.
CAN I BUY A READING AS A GIFT FOR SOMEONE ELSE?
Hell yes you can. You totally can! Just include a note to me during checkout with the name of the recipient, any little note or special instructions (like a delivery date for the gift card) you'd like to include as well as their email address and I'll send them an email with a gorgeous gift card attached. The best part? They do nothing to redeem it! Their reading will arrive in the inbox. Wham. Bam. Thank you, ma'am.
ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR READING?
I look forward to reading for you. Together we can watch your future unfold…how cool is that? Pretty damn cool. If you have any questions, please refer to the Tarot FAQ and if your question isn't answered there feel free to drop me a line and ask away. I'm always happy to help (as long as it doesn't involve changing diapers…not that that has anything to do with anything…I just wanted to clarify that that specific type of help is…well…you're on your own).
GET YOUR SUPER-DUPER IN-DEPTH YEARLY TAROT READING TODAY.
*IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE FUTURE IS NOT SET IN STONE. MORE OFTEN THAN NOT A READING WON'T ONLY ADDRESS A CURRENT AND/OR FUTURE PROBLEM/SITUATION BUT WILL ALSO SUGGEST WAYS TO BRING ABOUT A DIFFERENT OUTCOME, LESSEN THE IMPACT (IF NEGATIVE), ENHANCE THE OUTCOME (IF POSITIVE) OR AVOID THE SITUATION ENTIRELY. ULTIMATELY THE DECISION LIES WITH YOU AND HOW YOU CHOOSE TO RESPOND WILL NATURALLY EFFECT THE OUTCOME & YOUR FUTURE. YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN FATE, THE READING MERELY HELPS PREPARE YOU FOR YOUR JOURNEY.

House of the Dragon: Release Date, Trailer and Informations
What is known about the GoT series House of the Dragon? You can find everything you need to know about the cast, platform and more.
Production continues at full speed in the Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon. Fans of novelist George RR Martin's dark fantasy universe can look forward to new material, this time set in Westeros' early past.
We collect all known information about the House of the Dragon. Here you can learn all about the beginning of the series, its platform, its plot and the already known cast. And of course we show you all the photos from the set and the teaser trailer.
All information about House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon Release Date
US broadcaster HBO has confirmed that House of the Dragon will launch on August 21, 2022. He announces on Twitter that the prequel series will begin with a picture of a dragon egg in flames. Despite the challenges posed by the ongoing corona pandemic, HBO is sticking with the original schedule.
August 21. #HouseoftheDragon pic.twitter.com/xH6T7b9sa9
— House of the Dragon (@HouseofDragon) March 30, 2022
Episodes: How many episodes will come?
The prequel series House of the Dragon is based on the Game of Thrones format. Season 1 will therefore come with ten episodes. Nothing is known about possible subsequent seasons.
Platform: Where can I watch the series?
House of the Dragon is available on HBO and HBO Max in the US. These channels will no longer be available in Germany in the near future. So far, a lot of HBO content has appeared on Sky in Germany, including Game of Thrones. That's why we expect the new series to air on Sky in Germany. Nothing has been confirmed yet, we will keep you informed.
Story: What is the Dragon House about?
The plot revolves around House Targaryen, which represented a powerful dynasty and ruled over dangerous dragons 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones. As king, Viserys I Targaryen rules a peaceful Westeros. His daughter from his first marriage, Rhaenyra Targaryen, will take his place. However, his second wife, Alicent Hightower, daughter of King Otto Hightower's right hand, and their son longing for the heir to the throne. The resulting dramas eventually lead to an open civil war in Westeros that goes down in history as the »Dance of the Dragons«.
The House of Dragons series is based on the novel »Fire and Blood: The Rise and Fall of House Targaryen« by George RR Martin, whose works also formed the basis of the hit Game of Thrones series. Fire and Blood is a fictional historical work that contains many biographies and short stories.
Cast: Known names in the cast
Key roles for House of the Dragon have already been determined. The cast of the series includes some well-known and lesser-known actors:
Viserys I. Targaryen: Paddy Considine (Hot Fuzz, Peaky Blinders)
Rhaenyra Targaryen: Emma D'Arcy (Truth Seekers)
Rhaenys Targaryen: Eve Best (Nurse Jackie, The King's Speech)
Daemon Targaryen: Matt Smith (Doctor Who, His House)
Alicent Hightower: Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One, Bates Motel)
Otto Hightower: Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill, The Amazing Spider Man)
Criston Cole: Fabien Frankel (NYPD Blue)
Corlys Velaryon: Steve Toussaint (Prince of Persia, Doctor Who)
Mysaria: Sonoya Mizuno (La La Land)
The brains behind House of the Dragon are already known: Writer George RR Martin is in the making, and the Game of Thrones composer is on board:
Producers: Ryan J. Condal, George RR Martin, Miguel Sapochnik, Vince Gerardis, Sara Hess
Music: Ramin Djawadi
Trailer and Pictures:
The first official images of the characters in House of the Dragon have been released. A short teaser trailer reveals many characters (although none of the scaled ones yet) and also shows off some of the new locations:
The story (season 1 at least) takes place 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, long before King Aerys Targaryen dies at the hands of Jamie Lannister. Targaryen dragons weren't stunted at this point, so expect similar calibers to GoT's Drogon.
One small, easily overlooked detail: For a brief moment, the Stark crest can be seen in the joust tournament. However, this family should not play an important role in House of the Dragon. And of course, at this point, the video, which apparently still contains a few hundred more swords, shouldn't miss a frame from the iron throne.
You can see some photos from the set below;

Often the best place for a health system to begin the process of building a place-based investment program is by assessing its current asset allocation and investment choices. Diving into the specific investments of the existing portfolio can be very enlightening. This process of inquiry can catalyze and strengthen a culture for place-based investment; if there is already internal buy-in, an abbreviated portfolio review may be sufficient.
The exercise of scrutinizing your portfolio against your place-based investment goals fosters a culture of community impact and sustainability within your investment office and the institution more broadly.
What are the values and goals of your institution?
How can investments support your institution's health promotion objectives?
Are you currently invested in companies or financial instruments that create or reinforce health problems that your institution is working to address?
Who can support and/or build momentum for place-based investment internally?
What is in the existing portfolio?
Has the portfolio been inventoried to identify investments at cross-purposes with the mission of your institution?
Has the portfolio been inventoried to identify existing place-based investments?
Are there investment managers in your portfolio who can help you reallocate to place-based investments or establish new place-based investment products?
What is the asset allocation and how can it be adjusted to incorporate a place-based investment carve-out?
What is the desired annual rate of return for unrestricted assets?
Does your institution have relationships with local community banks or credit unions?
What opportunities exist for shifting deposits to additional local community banks and credit unions?
What are your investment advisors' capabilities around sustainable, responsible, and impact investing?
To what extent is your investment staff educated and experienced in sustainable, responsible, and impact investing?
What are the capacities and offerings of your existing investment managers around place-based investing?
What is the role of governance in setting or evaluating investment priorities or goals?
To what extent is your board educated on place-based investing?
Is there a dedicated place-based investment committee?
What is the primary role of the investment portfolio in supporting health system operations?
Are there Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria for the portfolio?
Does the institution have policy for sustainable, responsible, or impact investing?

Home News Iranian Opposition Maryam Rajavi on 50,000 Coronavirus Deaths in Iran
Maryam Rajavi on 50,000 Coronavirus Deaths in Iran
That statement, issued Sunday after the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) revealed the grim milestone, explained that the extraordinarily high death toll could (and should) have been avoided, and it wasn't because of the regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani, who failed to take appropriate action, the death toll was not as high as it is.
Maryam Rajavi said: "This catastrophe could have been prevented and such a large scale of loss of lives could have been avoided… Ali Khamenei and Hassan Rouhani are directly responsible for the soaring number of victims and they must be held to account."
After all, she notes, the ordinary Iranian people were sent back to work after a lax lockdown that came far too late and was over far too soon. The regime had more than enough money – mostly held, ironically, in foundations that are supposed to help the poor – to pay people to stay home until the curve had been flattened and the danger had passed. This money, which the regime would rather use to fund their warmongering and terrorism, was not distributed as it should have been but has been hoarded away.
Maryam Rajavi advised that Iran's death toll – even the official fake figure of just over 8,000 deaths – cannot be compared to the death toll in other Middle Eastern countries that are much poorer than Iran. Indeed, Iran has the second-highest death toll in the world and the Iranian people will not forget or forgive the actions that led here.
Even state-run media has been forced to admit to the true cost of the regime's horrific response to the coronavirus, noting more Iranian lives have been lost in the past four months than during the whole of the eight-year-long Iran-Iraq war.
The asriran.ir website wrote on June 6: "The coronavirus has taken a higher toll on Iranians than the imposed war, but since there is no uproar about it we might be misled."
The website that criticized the regime for trying to normalize the situation, sending people back to work and reopening all non-essential workplaces by telling people to abide by hygienic protocols, like wearing masks, washing hands frequently, and social distancing. The site mocked the regime's approach, saying that this won't stop the coronavirus's second wave.
In a previous statement, on the occasion of 49,000 coronavirus deaths in Iran, Maryam Rajavi urged the United Nations Secretary-General, UN Security Council, and other relevant bodies to take immediate action to prevent a humanitarian disaster in Iranian prisons, specifically citing the case of those incarcerated in Urmia.
A large number of prisoners in central Urmia Prison began exhibiting severe coronavirus symptoms in the last week of May, but the authorities' negligence has caused the virus to spread widely.
Following protests by the prisoners, some were tested and all of those were deemed to be infected with the virus, but they are still denied adequate medical care or cleaning supplies.

Abstract: We investigate the superradiance effects in three-dimensional topological insulator HgTe with conducting surface states. We demonstrate that the superradiance can be explained using the classical electrodynamic approach. Experiments using the continuous-wave spectroscopy allowed to separate the energy losses in the system into intrinsic and radiation losses, respectively. These results demonstrate that the superradiance effects are not sensitive to the details of the band structure of the material.

Q: What would be the optimal way to sort a long list of words in alphabetical order in C? As the title indicates, I need to order quite a few (hundreds of thousands) strings in alphabetical order. I have several linked lists and each linked list contains words of a specific length. That is, I have a 6 letter strings list, 7 letter strings list, ... , 10 letter strings list.
I was thinking of using radix sort, but I wanted to see if there were better options out there since I can't find anything specific when it comes to alphabetizing a list where all the words are the same length.
EDIT:
I have an extremely long list of words, raging in size. I'm currently walking through the list and arranging the words into size categories. That is, when I encounter a word of length 6 it goes into the "6-length" list. As I'm doing this for each word, I am actually creating a new word object that contains the original word and its alphabetized version (e.g. stack, ackst). I want to alphabetize each "length" list such that I could easily find and group anagrams.

A: I don't think the fact that the lengths are the same matters to sorting, does it? You don't explain how you think that would affect sorting.
My recommended approach for sorting a linked list: don't. :) Sort an array instead, and convert to/from the linked list as needed. It will very likely be much faster and easier.
Basically:

*

*Walk the list to figure out the length.

*Allocate an array of value pointers (in your case, "value" means string).

*Walk the list again, setting the i:th array element to point to the i:th list item's data.

*Sort the array with qsort().

*Walk the list a third time, overwriting the i:th item's data with the i:th array element

*Done.

You can do this for each linked list separately, of course.

> Clinton: FBI cost me the election
Clinton: FBI cost me the election
Clinton blames FBI head for election loss, says it lost her votes and support.
US Elections 2016 Hillary
Clinton and campaign manager John Podesta (right) Reuters
Rejected Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton blamed FBI Director James Comey on Saturday for Trump's win. In her opinion, Comey raised questions about Clinton's ethics when he questioned her use of a private email server just days before the presidential elections.
The FBI had closed the case on Clinton's email scandal several months before the election, reopening it again after more emails were found in the probe of Anthony Weiner's messages and the FBI suspected it had not seen critical emails.
Just before elections, Comey went against Justice Department policy and released a letter to Congress. In the letter, he said the FBI had cleared Clinton and saying the few new emails they had found were not significant to the case.
At the time, Donald Trump reacted by saying that FBI Director Comey was under "tremendous pressure" to clear Clinton's name and that the fact that she deleted thousands of messages was enough to discredit her.
Head of Clinton campaign opinion research division Navin Nayak sent a letter to his staff saying Comey's letter was responsible for Clinton's defeat.
"We believe that we lost this election last week," he wrote in a letter obtained by Politico. "Comey's letter in the last 11 days of the election both helped depress our turnout and also drove away some of our critical support among college-educated white voters - particularly in the suburbs. We also think Comey's second letter, which was intended to absolve Secretary Clinton, actually helped to bolster Trump's turnout."
In addition to the private server email issue, it was revealed that Hillary Clinton also asked her maid, who did not have the appropriate clearance, to print confidential emails for her.
When asked, 83% of voters felt Clinton's actions were "unethical."
Analysts cited other issues, such as the Clinton campaign's neglect of "blue" states which her staff considered sure wins and poor Democratic voter turnout.

Ferreting out the luxurious side of Europe's most levelheaded city.
By Jo Durden-Smith on March 30, 2010
Three hundred and fifty or so years ago Holland and its major port-city, Amsterdam, had a really bad press. The Dutch, said a raft of 17th-century commentators, were nothing but "herring-picklers," "frogs," "cheese-worms," "usurpers that deprive fish of their dwelling-places" and "love to be down in the dirt and wallow therein." As for Amsterdammers, they were, all agreed, thoroughly addicted to alcohol and tobacco; and their city was a lascivious and anarchic place. Refugees might see it as a "Noah's ark of asylum-seekers," as one grateful French Protestant running from slaughter, Pierre Bayle, put it. But in the eyes of most foreigners that only made it a chaotic, heresy-filled bazaar: "the Fair of all the sects where . . . the peddlers of religion have leave to vent their toys." Why, Amsterdam didn't even have censorship: People could write and talk—and behave—in whatever way they wanted. An English consul in the middle of the 17th century complained of music houses filled with "lewd people of both sexes;" and at around the same time the first users' guide to Amsterdam's red-light district was published. The British and French monarchs actually listed its permissiveness as one of their main reasons for declaring war (in 1672) on the new upstart republic of the United Provinces: "a country," said one writer, "where the demon gold is seated on a throne of cheese and crowned with tobacco."
If all this seems oddly familiar to a modern audience, of course it is. For 20th-century and 17th-century Amsterdam have a lot in common—all the way down to Adriaen Brouwer's Smoker in the Rijksmuseum, who almost certainly has something stronger in his pipe than "the demon weed." It remains, that is to say, a tolerant, easygoing, broad-minded sort of city where people from across the world can do more or less as they wish, as long as they're discreet about it and obey the local bylaws. Amsterdammers still eat a ton of herring on the street at lunchtime—as well as uitsmijters (bread with cheese and ham topped with a fried egg) and pancakes smothered in cheese; and at night they continue to throng into hundreds of basement bars and "brown cafés" to drink gin, known patriotically as vaderlandje (fatherland); a dizzying variety of beers; and local liqueurs with lubricious old names like Venus Oil, Lift Up Your Nightshirt, and The Longer The Better. They still possess some of the finest tobacco stores in the world (particularly the Empire- and Art Deco-decorated cigar palace P.G.C. Hajenius); and they still play host to international, offshore traders, as well as a babel of New Age religions. They also remain as concerned about the environment as they have always been about the maintenance of their dams and polders and dikes. Consider: In 1989, Amsterdammers—along with the rest of the Dutch—threw a government out of office for proposing car-pollution legislation they considered much too lax.
In its attitudes, then, and much of its center-city architecture, Amsterdam remains very much a city born out of the 17th-century Golden Age of exploration and trade. It is on the one hand sobersided and rational, as befits a child of the Reformation—the "perfect prose" counterpart, Henry James once called it, of Venice's "perfect poetry." On the other hand it's mercantile and sometimes—as if in memory of its roisterous, port-centered past—given to excess. In 1613, for example, there were 518 alehouses serving a population here of 100,000; today, in a canal-girdled city no bigger than Baltimore, there are more than 2,000 restaurants, cafés, and bars as well as 65 theaters and concert halls, 141 art galleries, and 21 open-air markets. There are museums here devoted to everything from tattooing and fluorescent art to marijuana and the Pianola. Yet for all this, and for all the cheery helpfulness of Amsterdammers, not to mention their seeming ability to speak every international language, it's an oddly difficult place for the cosmopolitan 20th-century visitor to come to terms with.
"Amsterdam's a city that looks open, but it's not," says René W. Chr. Dessing, founder of Artifex, a specialty tourist organization with an office on the city's Herengracht canal. "It's full of people and places that tourists only rarely have access to. And this means that it remains hidden in many ways, elusive. It is not a declarative city," he goes on. "It doesn't have palaces and great monuments and wide-ranging collections of art. Instead it has its own special atmosphere, its own special ethos, rooted deep in its past—and this has to be explained."
One place to start in the unraveling of Amsterdam's "special ethos" is, paradoxically, perhaps, the new Town Hall. Completed in the late eighties and nicknamed the Stopera because it shares its premises with the national ballet and opera companies, it's a banal, modern building. But inside, in a passageway near the porter's lodge, there's an installation that evokes better than anything else in the city the sheer year-by-year doggedness that, beginning in the 13th century, built this settlement on the swampland that once stretched between the Rhine and the North Sea. Three vertical acrylic tubes, set in a wall and filled with blue liquid, show the water level in the city, the daily tidal level at nearby IJmuiden, and—most worryingly—the height of water reached during the ruinous flood of 1953. They're a bald reminder that wherever you go in Amsterdam, by rights you should be anything from knee- to neck-deep in water. In 1573 a naval battle between Dutch and Spanish galleons was actually fought outside the city at what is now Schiphol, the fastest-growing airport in Europe.
It was the long war against Spanish rule (1568-1648), of which this battle was a part, that laid down the lineaments of the city's character. For soon after Amsterdammers threw in their lot with the other Dutch provinces, they turned the Roman Catholic priests out of the city's churches, together with every last vestige of public Catholic worship. (Virtually all the medieval religious art in the city was destroyed by victorious Calvinist "iconoclasts." The churches, many now used as exhibition halls, remain bare.) At the same time the war helped create the national myth of the Dutch: placid, tolerant, slow to anger; and it encouraged the opening of the little port-city's doors to anyone and everyone on the run from the Catholic powers. Wealthy merchants from the southern Low Countries flocked to it, along with persecuted French Protestants and affluent Portuguese and German Jews—all of whom have left their mark, not only on the names in Amsterdam's telephone directories but also on the city's idiosyncratic dialect. (Much of the Amsterdam vocabulary comes from either French or Yiddish; and old Amsterdammers still call their city mokum, from makom, the Hebrew word for "sacred place.") As a result of this influx, within a century the population of the city tripled. Money became plentiful and wages high. International trade boomed; new canals were dug into the swamps with sumptuous new houses alongside them; and Amsterdam was transformed from an enterprising port-town into the cultural and commercial capital of Europe. As it took center stage, though, it somehow managed to remain determinedly parochial. For even when it became the principal city of a brand-new world power, its people continued to be citizens rather than subjects: rich, yes, but practical, traditional, given to good works, and with local rather than national loyalties. The art, too, that it began to produce and buy was equally practical and democratic. It was anchored in the here and now: in the kitchen, the tavern, the streets, the countryside. "Good pictures are very common [in Amsterdam]," wrote one 17th-century English traveler, "there being scarce an ordinary tradesman whose house is not adorned with them."
Many of these pictures—by the likes of Rembrandt, Jan Steen, Albert Cuyp, Frans Hals, and Jan Vermeer (whose The Art of Painting was purchased by a saddler after his death for an apple and an egg)—are today housed in the Renaissance-Gothic Rijksmuseum; and they're one of the main attractions for the nine million tourists who come into the city each year. The visitor should be warned, though. For the pictures in the Rijksmuseum are not the sort of eclectic international gathering of big names we associate with national collections like those of the Louvre or the Met. Instead they're almost entirely Dutch—and therefore modest, almost domestic. They hold up a mirror—sometimes celebratory, sometimes satirical, sometimes a little preachy—to the society of their times: They refer constantly to the real world of the city and the countryside you've just left. Jan Steen, after all, was an innkeeper, the proprietor of a place not unlike, say, Café 't Smalle on the Egelantiersgracht. Rembrandt used as models for his religious pictures the men and women he knew in the Jewish quarter, memorialized in the Jewish Museum not far from his house on Jodenbreestraat. And even when a painting is of grand size—the picture of a militia company or the regents' board of some charity—the faces emerging from the ruffs and hats and wimples seem like echoes of the broad, benign, or bony faces you run into every day by the canals. The most famous painting in the collection, no doubt, is Rembrandt's The Night Watch—and it, too, has an intimate continuity with the city in which it's still housed. For it's difficult not to remember, as you crane through the crowds around it, that the captain in the center of the picture had a house on the Singelgracht that still exists; that he was once described as the stupidest man in all Amsterdam; and that the militiamen whose faces are partly hidden were quite angry at having to pay up to the painter the full-face price per man.
"It's a village, that's the point," booms Johannes van Dam, the crusty food and restaurant critic of the city's Het Parool daily and Elsevier weekly, as we sit in the Café Luxembourg on the Spuistraat. "It's a village, but it's a cosmopolitan village. It wasn't just built on piles of pine from Germany, after all; it was built on herring bones and salt. Salted herring from Holland was a vital source of protein for long voyages; and it came with an internationally guaranteed standard of quality; it was a reliable fuel for men. It was the equivalent of oil from Kuwait!"
As we sit watching the passersby, Van Dam lists the goods and achievements this "oil" brought the city: the explorations of Australia, North America, and Tierra del Fuego; the raids on the Spanish treasure-fleets; the trading voyages of the Dutch East India Company, which in 1611 paid a dividend to its shareholders of 162 percent. When I suggest going on to dinner together he leads me off along the Singelgracht and down the Leidsestraat, through the ubiquitous clank and clatter of bicycles, pointing out landmarks along the way: the 1619 Munttoren (mint tower) and the 1891 Metz & Co. store on the corner of Keizersgracht, "once the tallest building in Amsterdam," where the view from the café and a glass cupola designed in 1933 by the De Stijl architect Gerrit Rietveld "is well worth the climb." Finally he veers off into a little warren of streets to the east of Leidsestraat that is full of restaurants from around the world: Argentina and India, Indonesia and Italy, Uruguay and Spain. But he doesn't stop at any of these. Instead he bustles his way into an eating-house called De Blauwe Hollander, and I realize he's giving me an object lesson in things Dutch and Amsterdammish. For De Blauwe Hollander is the most retiring of all the restaurants around us: It feels old, dark, wooden, like a Rembrandt interior or a ship—and the cooking is just as plain. There is herring on the menu, of course, and the stew he suggests is very simple, though it comes (as Amsterdam does, I'm beginning to realize) with a distant palatal echo of exotic spices: of cinnamon and mace.
It is, I fancy, as we talk over our stews, the sheer modesty of the place, and by extension of the city, that Van Dam wishes to show me and make me taste. And in the days that follow—as I wander through the city center, photographing houses that were built when Manhattan was first settled and walking along canals begun when Rembrandt was three years old—I begin to see that it's this modesty, a reticence, a distaste for show, that is the defining characteristic of Amsterdam, both ancient and modern. For here there is none of the urban bombast that we normally associate with rich, imperial cities: ceremonial boulevards, long vistas, equestrian statues. The merchants' houses on the canals, with their fantastically variegated gables, aren't show-off and look-at-me, as are the palaces of Venice. They are deep rather than wide, narrow-facaded; they present a prim shoulder to the world and turn away.
The Museumplein, the cultural heart of the city, seems more like a village green than anything else. And of the buildings it links, only the Rijksmuseum is clearly designed to impress from the outside. (With its statuary and inscribed Biblical texts, it looks like a well-endowed Victorian seminary.) The Concertgebouw (concert hall), erected by public subscription after Brahms' remark that the Dutch are "lovely people but poor musicians," is more remarkable for its accidentally perfect acoustics than for any architectural brio. And as for the Stedelijk and Van Gogh Museums, even their newly added extensions (by Alvaro Siza Vieira and the Metabolist architect Kisho Kurokawa, respectively) are serviceable and inward-looking rather than outward-looking and assertive. Both designs are the end result of compromises, after much public wrangling about (among other things) the fate of individual trees; and though relatively undistinguished, I find the sight of them oddly comforting. For they're a reminder that Amsterdam remains under the control of citizens rather than their masters. Sometimes these citizens get things wrong, as they did with the original Van Gogh Museum building (based on a 1963 design by Rietveld and opened in 1973). It was built to accommodate 60,000 visitors a year and is now getting more than a million. But then I find this fact—even as I confront the long lines on Paulus Potterstraat—oddly comforting too.
To say Amsterdam is modest is not to say that it doesn't have grand and luxurious places in which to stay. There's the superbly comfortable Amstel Inter-Continental, for instance, which was recently used as a virtual extension of Queen Beatrix's palace to house visiting royals on the occasion of her 60th birthday. Nor does it mean that it doesn't have restaurants that can hold their own against the very best in Europe. There's the Michelin-two-star La Rive in the Amstel, for example (where Robert Kranenborg hosts exclusive chef's dinners three times a week in his kitchen); Christophe' (one star) and Bordewijk in the old working-class district of Jordaan; and (my favorite to garner a second star) Vermeer in the Hotel Barbizon Palace.
But it does mean that the old part of Amsterdam, apart from its squares, has no conspicuous architectural focus. The only monumental buildings in the city, in fact, are the Hendrik Berlage Exchange and the Koninklijk Paleis, or Royal Palace (dating from 1648), on Dam Square. When it was constructed it was the largest known secular building on Earth. (Only the Escorial in Madrid and the Doges' Palace in Venice could rival it.) It's only by walking round and then entering it (as you can for exhibitions) that you really begin to appreciate the extraordinary wealth and power that was once gathered in Amsterdam. In the floor of the high and ornate reception hall (Burgerzaal) is carved a map of the world, with Holland, like some mercantile version of the Holy Land, at its center; and on one of the exterior pediments the patroness of Amsterdam receives tribute from four continents, as she has for three and a half centuries. Above the pediment soars the Maid of Peace, one of the largest statues in Amsterdam, which once looked down on rich merchants quietly going about their business, and on a roisterous port filled with coffee, gems, spices, Nuremberg porcelain and Italian majolica, Lyons silk, Spanish taffeta, and—in the words of historian Simon Schama—"Haarlem linen bleached to the most dazzling whiteness."
This world of august, Sunday-best merchants and riotous taverns may well have gone forever, but in a sense it still exists. For you can find echoes of it in "brown cafés" such as Café Hoppe on Spui Square and Café Papeneiland on the Prinsengracht. You can also see the surviving spirit of the trade that once sustained the city virtually everywhere you look: in the koffiemelk you have at breakfast and in the nutmeg and cinnamon used in the traditional Dutch stews. It's in the wheels of Edam and Gouda cheese on sale in the Albert Cuyp market; and in the presence of some of the finest and most elaborate tobacco shops in the world. The rope- and barrel-makers, chandlers, tanners, and brewers, may have gone forever (the last big brewer, Heineken, left the city in 1988), but they still survive in the names of some of the streets. The diamond and chocolate industries are still here; and as for the red-light district, well, it could be described as one of the last of the city's industries to flourish in its original 17th-century locale.
In this century (as in the 17th) Amsterdam has comfortably absorbed fresh waves of immigrants: Indonesians and Surinamese, not to mention international bankers, directors of offshore companies, and that proportion of the city's tourists who've liked what they've seen enough to want to stay. It also remains, as W.J.M. Plegt, the general manager of the Amstel hotel, says, "as international and entrepreneurial as ever—though now in a post-industrial way. Holland was the first country in Europe to close its coal mines," Plegt goes on, "the first to really make the switch; and Amsterdam has since been in the forefront. Many of the old industries have now gone from the city; and their place in the center has been taken over by architects, lawyers, designers, computer programmers. Some of them live in houseboats—which are not cheap; they can cost from $75,000 to $200,000. But many have taken over what were until recently offices, and they've spent a lot of time and money restoring them to their original state." He laughs and spreads his hands as we sit looking out over the river Amstel. "The building companies and antiques shops on Spiegelstraat," he notes, "have done extremely well out of it."
It's precisely this new use to which the historic center has been turned that's the major obstacle for today's tourist trying to come to grips with the city. For if Amsterdam is a living museum of the 17th century, then it's a museum that's got live-in curators. And though Amsterdammers are helpful, they're also detached, aloof, as if they themselves were from some different, parallel city. This odd disjunction between public city and private citizens is something that every authority on Amsterdam seems to have noticed. One guidebook refers to "the genial inscrutability" of Amsterdammers; another talks of their live-and-let-live attitude being mirrored by an intense "desire to be left alone." I myself think it is part of the 17th-century legacy: of a piece with the modest charm of De Blauwe Hollander and the way the houses withhold themselves behind a narrow front.
The only way to overcome it is to become, for the duration of one's stay, as far as possible, an Amsterdammer. I do this, by taking the city's measure via a long ride through the canals and the old port in a 1920s salon boat, Paradis, owned by Tommy van Riet. I also move away from the grand style of the Amstel to the Seven One Seven, a seven-room canal-side hotel at 717 Prinsengracht filled with antiques and a modern version of the sort of luxurious domesticity that Amsterdam's merchants once enjoyed. I still visit museums each day: the Maritime Museum and the heart-rending Jewish History Museum, among others; but I come to see these visits more and more as my day job, for which I clock on at nine and leave at five. I eat lunch standing up, and fried potatoes with mayonnaise on the run; and in the evening I taste some of the beers at the Brouwhuis Maximiliaan in the old Bethanienklooster (monastery) and even have my first glass of Venus Oil. As I do so I respond to the relaxed rhythm of the city. I wander through the streets of Jordaan, stopping wherever I like. One night, after eating gloriously well at Vermeer, I spend a couple of hours with Bas de Haan, the chef of 't Jagershuis, whom I find emerging from Seven One Seven's kitchen after cooking a private dinner.
I also call René Dessing once more. For though by now I have visited most of the 17th-century canal houses that are open to the public—the enchanting little Museum Amstelkring, Museum Van Loon, and Bartolotti house (with its cascade of decoration)—they're too reconstructed for me to make connection with how Amsterdammers live in such places today. First, then, Dessing points me to a house over a tobacco shop in Prinsengracht, which Dom Ducco and Benedict Goes are now restoring to house one of the world's most remarkable collections of pipes. Then, within an hour or so one afternoon, Dessing leads me through a number of Herengracht houses that he sometimes uses for cocktail parties and banquets. There's Pat van de Wall Bake's house, where she runs a cooking school—La Cuisine Française—from her kitchen and a huge room overlooking a back garden; the Van Brienen house, the headquarters of the Hendrick de Keyser Association, with a vast and magnificent hall; and the Geelvinck Hinloopen house, with a lily pond and carriage house, where every antique on show is for sale through a dealer, Ida van Rossum, who operates from the basement. Equally impressive, though—and what I'm really looking for—is a two-floor apartment Dessing has never seen before but which is for sale by a friend he runs into as we're walking down Herengracht. Dessing's friend soon unlocks the door and ushers us into an airy living room that has a fine ceiling painting, perhaps by the famous Jacob de Wit, and an 18th-century Amsterdam cityscape good enough to belong in the Amsterdam Historical Museum. As the two of them talk provenance and ascription, I look out the window into the hidden garden and wonder, well, whether I shouldn't make an offer for this camouflaged piece of the 17th-century city.
Before Dessing and I part company we walk in the direction of the new Blakes hotel on the Keizersgracht, built into the offices and dispensing rooms of a Catholic charity—which was erected in turn on the site of an old theater burned down in 1772. And Dessing tells me that before I leave the city I should visit Broek in Waterland, where he and his partner have just bought a house. The next morning, then—my last—I take a taxi and drive out into the flat countryside Rembrandt visited on sketching trips after the death of his first wife. "Cows," grunts the driver, waving a hand. "Very Dutch."
Broek in Waterland, when we arrive there, is a charming little place of lanes and clapboard houses gathered around a church and a small lake. For a while the driver and I wander around in a thin rain, looking for Dessing's new house. After about 20 minutes, though, we give up and climb back into the taxi for the long, wide-horizoned drive back to the city.
Then, as we see it in the distance, I recall a passage from one of the books I've been carrying: Although Amsterdammers were celebrated for their cleanliness in the 18th century, the people of Broek in Waterland were so obsessive about cleanliness that they could sometimes be found scrubbing the trees! As I pack my bags later in the hotel I remember the words with which Simon Schama opens the introduction to his study The Embarrassment of Riches: "It is the peculiar genius of the Dutch to seem at the same time familiar and incomprehensible." And I laugh, merrily, modestly, so as not to disturb the neighbors: a very Amsterdam kind of laugh.
