The history of Rijksmuseum
from Amsterdam City Hall, to Palace, to Villa, to Royal Palace

The Royal Palace (Koninklijk Paleis Amsterdam), the symbol of Dam Square, was built in the 17th century.
Although it is a royal palace, no Dutch king has ever lived in this palace. And surprisingly, it was originally built as the city hall of Amsterdam.

De Dam in Amsterdam 1668
The time is the 17th century.
Amsterdam was bustling and developing into one of Europe's greatest cities. It was the golden age of the Netherlands, when the economy was enriched by traders, the city became prosperous, and the population increased fivefold in half a century.
The City Hall was built on Dam Square for the city's rapid growth. This building is now the Royal Palace, but was originally the Town Hall.
After 80 years of war with Spain, the construction of the town hall began in 1648.
Officially opened on 29 July 1655, the town hall was a large building with a width of 79m and a height of 53m, and was the largest building in Europe for the next 200 years.
13659 wooden piles were used to construct the massive building on soft ground in Holland.
The outer walls and interior were decorated with sandstone, marble and sculptures that were imported from overseas, making it a gorgeous building.
A foundation with more than 10,000 piles,
the largest building in Europe,
a luxurious and elegant design…
The city hall, which was built with a huge budget, is said to have been nicknamed "the eighth wonder of the world".
In 1794, the Federal Republic of the Netherlands collapsed due to the invasion of France.
On April 20, 1808, Napoleon's brother Louis Bonaparte became King of Holland.
Louis Bonaparte liked the city hall building and decided to live here.
After 150 years as a city hall, the building was renovated as a royal palace.
Heavy carpets on the floor, numerous ornaments, hundreds of chairs and tables were made for King Louis Bonaparte.
Louis Bonaparte was a splendid king who took care of his people and fulfilled his duties as a king, but in 1810 he was forced to abdicate from the throne by his brother Napoleon.
Later, the royal palace became Napoleon's villa.
In 1811, Napoleon and his wife Marie visited Amsterdam and stayed at this villa for only one night.
In 1813, Napoleon was defeated, and in 1815 Willem I became the first king of the Netherlands.
At this time the villa was returned to the city of Amsterdam.
In 1934 the city of Amsterdam sold the building to the Netherlands.
The building is now a royal palace, but it is used only for official events and is mostly empty.
Therefore, it is open to the public as a museum on days other than official events.
It's a gorgeous building that makes sense that Louis Bonaparte made it into a royal palace, and it's unbelievably beautiful that it was originally the city hall.
This is a building where you can experience the prosperity of Dutch Golden Age.

Jei of the Dancing Dagger
(This is a thread from Mizahar's fantasy role play forum. Why don't you register today? This message is not shown when you are logged in. Come roleplay with us, it's fun!)
by Jei on May 31st, 2018, 11:15 pm
Race. Myrian
Gender & Sex. Male
Age. 21
Birthday. The 41st of Spring in the Year 499 after the Valterrian
Origin. Taloba, Falyndar
Residence. Syka
Occupation. Ranger
Allies. TBD
Enemies. TBD
Patron Divine. Lady Myri, Goddess of War
Fluent Language. Myrian
Basic Language. Common
Description. Though a full-blooded Myrian, he lacks the figure that most men his age have. He stands at about six feet tall, which isn't too unusual. Instead of the thick, athletic muscle most Taloban soldiers boast, however, he's slender, lean, with wiry muscle that leans toward speed and agility rather than brute strength. His skin is a warm bronze, well-accustomed to the perpetually humid heat of the jungle. Far from flawless, his skin hosts a scattered assortment of body art and battle scars alike, lacking much symmetry or even significant meaning, but no less attractive and proud.
His hair used to be quite long, the black locks often decorated with bones and fetishes. But on the boat to Syka, he and his leader agreed that cutting it and discarding of the charms and decorations would be best to fit in. His blue eyes are similarly unremarkable, though he has a habit of allowing his lids to remain closed or even half so, giving him a decidedly apathetic, uncaring appearance.
Gnosis Mark. Marked by his Goddess-Queen Myri, Jei's blade-shaped mark is placed at the center-point between his shoulder blades. The vertically aligned blade looks exactly like his favored curved dagger, with the blade covered in blood. A single mark of Prowess grants the warrior an instinctive ability to use their existing combat skills in the most advantageous way. They are treated as having 10 points more in Unarmed Combat and/or their favored weapon skill. This is not an actual concrete skill bonus however and only represents the warrior's ability to get the most out of their existing skills.
An explorer that wants the world, from the north to the south, the east to the west. It is a constant dream that has plagued and blessed his dreams from the moment he knew how to walk. As his legs grow longer and his body grows stronger and his mind grows sharper, the ever-thrumming need to know of it all sustains the young man just as much as any regular food or drink. Where he goes, he could not care less... When he goes, the timing could hardly matter. The only thing that does, is that he is able to one day see those sights.
An artist whose medium is his body. To have complete control of his every limb, of his every muscle, is a goal that may never end, but one that he will strive for until he is naught but dust to dust. He knows that the dance of his Clan is far from the only dance he may learn, and that knowledge does nothing but excite him. It is one of the largest and most influential parts of his life, a part that, if it ever left him, would spell the end of love in his heart (yes, it is that deep).
A fighter by force and a protector by choice, his home is truly his heart. He would put his life, limb, and liberty on the line readily for his Goddess-Queen Myri and Her land, and that will never change. He will venture miles and leagues to find his Queen's enemies for Her, and he would do so with joy in heart and bloodlust in his eye.
Jei was born to one of the smaller, lesser known Clans of Taloba, the Dancing Dagger. They were a people of dance and storytelling, of art. If Jei had been granted the luck of being born a woman, he would be one of the most promising young women of his Clan, gifted with the enthusiasm for dance and expression that many were not... But he was not, and that was the unfortunate fact of the matter. His Elder and other family members could plainly see his love for dance, could see the wonder on his face when he saw the most experienced of them move with such deadly grace and beautiful prowess... But alas, he was born with too much between his thighs.
And so his life was not as great as it could have been. Aye, he was taught some about his Clan's dance, of that deadly, fluid, powerful movement, but not as much as the young women of his Clan were. Not as much as he wished. He naturally gravitated towards the dagger, as his Clan often used, and was gifted a curved blade similar to those the warriors of his family were given after they completed their Coming of Age Trial and their Blooding. His was nothing remarkable, nothing particularly special from the norm, but he was finally recognized as a useful, worthwhile member of society.
And he would further prove his use by spending much of his time in the military, something that he was happy to do. He was far from a hunter, and not a skilled enough artist to create a living from that. No, he was a warrior, and one that found the vast, dangerous wilderness a home away from home... If that home wanted to kill you at every twist and turn, and not a soul would be able to survive by themselves very long without others or great experience and skill, of which he had the former, and was not yet at the latter. He simply had to train more...
It had not gone unnoticed. Though he was never given a title, he was given a chance for greater responsibility, and perhaps a bit more recognition. Taloba had long since heard of a new settlement near the shores of Falyndar, and probably one of the closest to their home, now. Being a warring state, the Taloban government (or more, the Goddess and Her Council) kept a close eye on the settlement with the occasional ranging party. Having some skill in the wilderness and the want to prove himself, he was sent on one of these parties. They spent only a bit of time there, engaging more with the locals of the place to understand a bit of their customs and general attitudes. Mainly, to see if they were already or had the capacity to become a threat.
Finding no evidence to suggest such, Jei's party, lead by one of the better warriors of his Clan, returned to reveal the new information they had gained, which honestly was not much. The settlement had not much to report, and, from everything they had seen, nothing for the great Taloban army to fear, despite the deep suspicion they held. To be fair, they were suspicious of all that stepped close to their jungle. It was lucky they were not Dhani.
Even then, the wise Goddess-Queen Myri would have a small force to keep an eye on the people just in case anything ever changed. And so Jei was soon travelling back to the beaches of Syka with that small party, to live longer among them. If he could handle it.

Dodgers Stock Up, Stock Down: Cody Bellinger is Slumping
The Dodgers continue to steamroll the competition and extend their lead in the NL West.
by Daniel Preciado 06/13/2019, 1:00 PM
Through the first two weeks of June, the Dodgers boast a 6-4 record with a sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies, two series wins against the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants, and getting swept in a two-game series with the Anaheim Angels.
There are some players who have begun to make their mark here in the beginning of June. As the temperatures begin to rise in Southern California, so do these players:
Max Muncy, 1B/2B/3B
Mad Max has certainly done his part this month and even made national headlines while succeeding, as he called out Madison Bumgarner with the now well-known phrase 'get it out of the ocean'. Muncy has cracked 3 homers and driven in 5 runs, accruing 0.5 WAR. He is also sporting a stellar .294/.405/.588 slash line and 160 wRC+ in June. He is also doing his part on the defensive end, occasionally spelling Justin Turner at third and acting as an everyday regular between first and second base.
MAD. MAX. pic.twitter.com/65q7saXtgl
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) June 9, 2019
Walker Buehler, SP
Ferris is getting hot, folks. He looks pretty darn comfortable and poised on the mound. Since May 11, Buehler has tossed 39 innings and has struck out 46 batters. He has an elite 1.85 ERA and 0.87 WHIP over that span of time.
His ERA continues to decrease with every ace-level performance, just like the one on June 3 against the Diamondbacks where he struck out 1 batters in 8 innings on only two hits and an earned run.
Clayton Kershaw, SP
The strikeouts have not been there for Kersh, but it doesn't matter. Since May 14, Kershaw has thrown 33 1/3 innings with 28 strikeouts, a 2.70 ERA, and 1.11 WHIP. Pretty elite. Although his fastball only cracks 90-91 miles per hour these days, he still gets it done. The fact that he is probably the third best pitcher in the rotation right now and he is as good as he has been is a testament to just how deep the Dodgers' pitching staff is.
Joc Pederson, OF
Yung Joc has gone ice cold. In the month of June, Pederson is slashing .069/.182/.172 with a 3 wRC+ mark. Yikes. He has actually been worth -0.3 WAR, as well. When Joc is not hitting righties, he is doing nothing to benefit the time, considering his inability to hit southpaws and his so-so defense. Without a doubt, Joc Pederson will turn it around, evidenced by his elite 143 wRC+ mark on the season. Do not be frightened.
Joc Pederson has 2 hits in June. He's 2-29 (.069). This comes after batting .323 (21-65) in May.
Oddly enough, June is usually hot for Joc with 29 HR and a .925 OPS over his 6 year career.
The streak tendency continues!
— Clint Pasillas (FRG) (@realFRG) June 13, 2019
Cody Bellinger, 1B/OF
Do not be frightened to see Belli on this side of the list. However, he has gone pretty cold in the month of June. He is slashing .182/.325/.242 this month to start it and is somehow still hovering around a .350 batting average on the season.
He will get back to being a solid hitter soon enough, but it would have been ignorant to expect Bellinger to not have a cold spell after being the hottest hitter on the planet for quite some time.
Dylan Floro, RP
Once a bullpen stalwart, this season has been different for Dylan Floro. After starting the season off with an absurd 17 1/3 innings scoreless streak, Floro has been lackluster at best, posting a 10.80 ERA in 6 2/3 innings. Small sample size, sure, but there is no excuse for eight earned runs (11 runs total) in that sample. Let's hope he turns it around for the sake of the Dodgers' bullpen. It needs Floro to bring his A-game.
The Dodgers are seeing their stars trend downwards and are getting some amazing performances from their pitching staff. It is not hard to find reasons why they remain firmly in the lead in the National League West by a healthy 9.5 games.

Fan Comments4
PaulDodgerFan1965 says:
Part of Bellinger's problem is he has NOBODY capable to protect him in the lineup right now. He is being pitched around as a result and it will only get worse if CT3, Kike or Beaty are put in that all important 5th spot
Lou-Dodger says:
AZUL!!!! You are absolutely correct!!!! Until such time that Belles gets some buffers in the lineup, his production will diminish. I must add, however, it was nice to see those home runs last night. As much as I appreciate situational hitting, and I see us improving in that area, it jujst might be the home runs that carry us in Seager's absence. Kersh's numbers are up, but the dingers we hit allow him to stay in the game a bit longer and that takes pressure off of the bullpen. Until Af and the FO do something/anything, we will need our bats to be especially hot. One last point : I would like to see Lux and a few other youngsters brought up and used in various sports, rather than trading all of our top prospects for a Joe Blanton or other oldster. Have a great weekend!!! Hi Pd Jr.!!! Go Blue!!!
Anyone behind Belli in the lineup except for those 3 or the catcher of course (and maybe Not Joc either at this point)
— So that would leave only Turner (but he usually bats 3rd), Muncy, Freeze, or Verdugo, and maybe if he get's hot add back Beaty as a possibility.
I even posted something very similar on the Redit – Dodgers page, and multiple people said it doesn't matter who hits before of after him, as Belli is raking everything anyway and will be walked regardless of who hits in front or behind him. Well, his slump now may be just the proof I was right or at least had a point, that he is Not invincible and like anyone could use an extra nudge to start getting hot again.
— So wtf is up with those lineups????!!!!
— Protect the best hitter in baseball when he needs it the most, for crying out loud!
Yes, Joc's numbers have fallen a bit of late. But, when the season ends, I can almost guarantee he will give us close to 25-30 home runs. Joc is a gamer, and when he is hot, he is hot. If Verdugo, Belles, Mad Max, and Big Red can continue to hit, we will make it until Corey returns.
Freese has also been getting some key hits for us. Now, we need to surround Belles with these men, and watch the Blue Run Machine go to work. Go Blue!!!

Cinderella - Israel Ballet
By Petra,
January 3, 2009 in Other Companies
On Saturday, December 27, I saw a matinee performance of Berta Yampolsky's Cinderella in Tel Aviv. It was great entertainment for Channuka - and it is probably better than 90% of the commercial musical theatre 'festivals' that most parents feel obliged to take their children to see - but it isn't a production I would really recommend for a sophisticated audience.
The ballet stays close to the traditional story of Cinderella and is very easy to follow, as the mime was well directed and very clear. There are some original touches like a beggar woman who comes to Cinderella's house, gets thrown out by the stepmother and stepsisters and Cinderella then comforts her. The beggar woman afterwards turns into the fairy godmother (a vivacious Rieka Suzuki).
In terms of production values, the backdrops and especially the costumes, designed by Lydia Pinkus-Gani, are beautiful and ingenious (like the coloured slipover covers for the ugly sisters' pointeshoes which they put on and off).
So what was missing? The dancing just wasn't exciting enough. This is partly due to the choreography and partly due to the dancers themselves. The dancers all seemed very capable, and the corps scenes in particular were charming, but the ambience was rather academic and bland. I like more oomph, more speed, more daring (Good lord, I've become Americanised!!!)
Where the choreography was really lacking was in dancing for Cinderella. There was no big solo for her in the first act, nor was there a big pas de deux in Act 2. The result was that the role of Cinderella had no real depth.
I'll be interested to see how the Israel Ballet will perform on a programme that is less oriented towards a young/holiday audience.
Late Board Registrar
Great to hear from you, GWTW! It's been a long time.
And thanks for reviewing a company we hear so very little about!

I just wanted to point out that this plot element was in the original libtretto for Prokofiev, and was used I believe in both the original 1945 (and later filmed) Bolshoi production by Rostislav Zakharov, and the 1946 K Sergeyev production (which I find so charming and wish was still being done). I actually forgot that it's not done in most other productions...

Posted December 5, 2018 January 9, 2019 Jessie Thompson
Nervous tension, indescribable excitement, strong emotions, stress. Participants in the World Endurance Championship must demonstrate commitment, endurance and love for the road. Drivers put themselves at serious risk, risking overheating the engine and getting a nervous breakdown just to become champions. This approach requires inhuman efforts from the athlete and full coherence in the work of man and machine. Participants are determined, they are not afraid of any physical or emotional stress for many hours. While most are asleep, they continue the race.
The World Endurance Motor Racing Championship is a fairly young discipline of world motor racing, although it incorporates the traditions of the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup and the World Championship among sports cars. Even the name WEC (World Endurance Championship) was used previously by the FIA in 1981-1985. The current generation of endurance racing starts from 2012, and in the form in which this gaining championship is held now, this season can be called a debut season at all. Its main distinguishing feature is that it begins in May 2018 and lasts until June 2019. A total of 8 races must pass during this time.
More democratic of the elite championships from the FIA is difficult to find. The accessibility of the paddock for fans is impressive although there is a downside to this accessibility, that is, this democratic approach. If the pilot is famous, then he has practically no opportunity to pass without attention of the fans waiting for him from the guest house in the motor house and from there to the pits. And if young riders and still little known it flatters, then for celebrities it may not be a very light burden. Take, for example, the pilots of the level of Fernando Alonso or Jenson Button, the champions of Formula 1, who decided to add adrenaline to themselves in endurance races. It was sad to watch the Spanish champion in Spa pass through the ranks of fans armed with magazines and photos of Fernando to get an autograph and for a short selfie with his idol. At the same time, Alonso tried to choose hidden passages and additional "black entrances" of the guest house, in order to somehow reduce the obsessive attention of his adoring fans to him.
What can you love endurance racing for?
The concept of endurance racing involves the simultaneous piloting on the track of 4 different categories of cars. The most powerful prototypes are LMP1, then the more modest prototypes are LMP2, followed by the LM GTE Pro (with professional racers), and the LM GTE Am (amateur racers). Given the difference in power, speed and skills, almost every lap between cars is a struggle for a place on the track. Even if cars from their category are not easy to overtake each other, they constantly have to take into account the presence of cars of other categories on the track. And this is not as easy as it may seem at first glance. Imagine the fastest cars flying at a speed of 300 km / h, which need to skillfully beat competitors on slower cars traveling in the same area, for example, at a speed of 270, 240 or even 200 km / h. And this has to be done more than once. After all, even the shortest race lasts 6 hours. On the track from the start at the same time can be up to 40 cars: plus a large number of pit stops, for refueling, for changing tires, and even for changing riders.
Typically, the crew in the race for endurance consists of 3 pilots. They differently divide the time spent in the car, as a rule – equally. Getting out of the car, the driver takes with him a plastic insert on the seat, which allows each of the pilots to have a driver's workplace well-tailored for him.By the way, pit stops in endurance races take much longer than in Formula 1, where two dozen mechanics cope with changing tires in 2.0-2.5 seconds. Here the number of mechanics (6) at the pit stop is limited by the rules. Therefore, the pit stop itself in this championship is a whole complex of difficult maneuvers, including changing wheels, refueling and changing (if necessary) the rider. And another thing that distinguishes endurance races from Formula One is the sound of cars. Formula race cars, having entered a new era of turbo engines, have become so quiet that you can record interviews in motorhome, even without always being sure that someone is chasing on the track now. In the WEC, the sound of cars rather resembles the times of royal races at the beginning of this century.
FIA WEC. The organizers intend to increase the number of participants in the season 2018/2019
Boss endurance racing does not want to be limited to 32 cars. 34 cars can start at the start / Photo: FIA ALL. Head of the FIA WEC World Endurance Championship Gerard Nevo told Motorsport that he sees no reason why the number of participating cars in the 2018/2019 season should be limited to 32 crews. 52-year-old Frenchman believes that at least two more cars can join the fight for victory. Moreover, two races of the "24 Hours of Le Mans" in one season should attract those who want to compete for one of the most prestigious awards in the world of motor racing. However, the chief executive officer of the series noted that until February 9, the exact number of participants, both in the championship and in each of its individual classes, cannot yet be named:
"We are pushing our guys to grow. 34 cars is the maximum, but we hope to attract them. Because of the ability of LMP2 teams to go to LMP1 and compete with Toyota, there was a chance that we would not have a full grid in P2, but it looks like it was not confirmed."
Earlier in the WEC already practiced races with the participation of 34 cars, but then, in 2015, not all crews took part in all races of the championship. Recall that the champions of last year's FIA WEC Championship left the series. Earlier it became known that the former Formula One driver and a participant in the World Endurance Championship Rubens Barrichellowas hospitalized.

Q: How do I check checkbox with jquery? I have three checkboxes and I'm trying to implement "All" and "None".

     <input id="None" name="None" type="checkbox" value="true" /><input name="None" type="hidden" value="false" />
     None

The internet says to check and set the 'checked' property, just like you would expect.
if ($('#None').checked) {
    $('#cBox').checked = false;
}

But it doesn't work.
Checking the console, I can see that $('#None').checked is returning 'undefined'.
$('#None').attr('checked) should also work but also returns 'undefined'.
$('#None') is working. I can expand it and see the 'checked' prop is updating as I check and uncheck the box.
UPDATE
$('#None').is(':checked') works!
$('#None').attr(':checked') is still undefined.
Now I just need to set 'checked' on the three boxes, but nothing works.
$('#None').attr('checked')=true fails with 'you can't assign to a function call.'
$('#None').checked=true doesn't fail, but doesn't change anything.

A: The solution was to look closer at the node that opens in the console for $('#None').
if ($('#None')[0].checked) {
    $('#cBox')[0].checked = false;
}

works just fine.
I went ahead and posted this question since the answer was so simple and so hard to find.

The fiduciary standard will take effect June 9 for anyone working with retirement funds, but the fight is far from over.
Options remain down the line to amend the rule, or even write a new regulation.
Although the efforts may be time consuming, depending on which route the DOL chooses, literally all avenues remain open to Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta. That's the word from Seth Safra, partner in the Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Group at Proskauer, an international law firm.
"The department has a lot of authority in this area," he said.
While the fiduciary standard will take effect June 9, the DOL could amend it or write a new regulation. Safra said. Doing so would require following the Administrative Procedures Act guidelines for public notice and comment.
In an op-ed announcing his decision to let the rule take effect, Acosta remained defiant and vowed to eliminate harmful government regulations.
The DOL has more leeway with the Best Interest Contract Exemption, slated to take full effect Jan. 1, 2018. The BICE requires hefty disclosures and a signed contract that establishes a private right of action for clients to sue.
The DOL could amend the more onerous aspects of the BICE, Safra said. If the department isn't satisfied with studies in support of any amendments, it could publish a delay to push back that Jan. 1 deadline, he added.
Several industry organizations vowed to continue the fight to revise the rule to protect small savers who could be overlooked if the full fiduciary rule goes into effect.
"As currently written, the regulation limits retirement savers' access to education and information about annuities, the only financial products in the marketplace that guarantee lifetime income," read a statement by Dirk Kempthorne, president and CEO of the American Council of Life Insurers.
