THINGS YOU MUST DO IN AMSTERDAM

From 17th-century buildings lining picturesque canals in the Old Centre to the very hipster area of Jordaan, no European city blends the old and the new with so much flair as Amsterdam does. Here are 5 things you must do in Amsterdam.

Museum Musings

With more than 400 museums, Amsterdam really spoils you for choice. If you are in the city for a short while, you absolutely must make time for the big three. Rijksmuseum is Amsterdam’s (and Netherlands&rsquo most important museum and is dedicated to the arts and history of the country. Its art collection is particularly impressive with stalwarts such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Vermeer Derrick Henry Black Jersey , and Jan Steen gracing its walls. The Van Gogh Museum nearby is a tribute to perhaps the greatest Dutch painters of all time. Don’t miss visiting the Anne Frank House and Museum, a poignant tribute to the young girl whose life was brutally cut short by war. If you have time, check out the contemporary artworks at Stedelijk Museum or visit one of the many quirky museums that abound in Amsterdam – from the Museum of Bags & Purses to the Cheese Museum, and Electric Ladyland, which is a museum of fluorescent art.

Canal Crossing

With its criss-crossing canals and more than 1,500 bridges Austin Johnson Black Jersey , it’s no wonder that Amsterdam is known as the Venice of the North. Taking a canal cruise is a great way of seeing the city and also getting your bearings right. Several canal boat companies offer tours with audio guides pointing out the main attractions in Amsterdam. The cruises start from different points in the city; some of them are hop-on-hop-off tours, while others give you a comprehensive hour-long tour. Take your pick and see the city from a new angle. I recommend taking a tour close to dusk so that you can see the sky changing colours and the twinkling canal lights coming on.

Get Natural

Despite its canals and cheek-by-jowl buildings, there are many green spaces in Amsterdam. Vondelpark, located near the museum quarter, is one of the biggest urban parks in the city. Go jogging or cycling here, or just take a picnic basket and enjoy an afternoon break in the park. Located in Amsterdam West Jonnu Smith Black Jersey , Rembrandtpark is another green oasis complete with a petting zoo. Or people-watch by the elaborate fountain in Sarphatipark in De Pijp area. The city is also dotted with hidden courtyards, many of which are open to the public. Take a peek inside the most beautiful of these courtyards at Begijnhof, which is located between two churches. When the tulips are in season, make a day trip to Keukenhof for some splendid flower displays.

LONDON, Aug. 10 (Xinhua) -- The British government has announced to update and strengthen data protection laws through a new Data Protection Bill Corey Davis Black Jersey , a welcome step in the digital era when the leakage of personal information has become a worrisome problem worldwide.

From Europe to Asia, and to America, almost every country, either developing or developed, has been haunted by such a problem -- millions of Internet users' personal information was hacked, raising concerns about web security and triggering widespread panic.

The new bill Rashaan Evans Black Jersey , designed to sign European privacy rules into British law, as well as update the existing Data Protection Act which has remained unchanged in the island country since 1998, aims to give the British public greater control over personal data.

The new bill expands the definition of "personal data" to include IP addresses, internet cookies and DNA.

Under the new measures, everyone responsible for using data has to follow even stricter rules called "data protection principles." They must make sure the information is used fairly and lawfully, for limited Delanie Walker Black Jersey , specifically stated purposes and in a way that is adequate, relevant and not excessive.

At the same time, the personal information should be kept for no longer than is absolutely necessary.

In practice, the new requirement will be subject to some exemptions, but may cause a headache for businesses, some of whom may not have data stored in files or on analogue tapes Marcus Mariota Black Jersey , making it difficult to sort their data.

Worse still, there are many ways data can be put at risk -- software vulnerabilities, lost hard drives and CDs, malicious insiders, poor security.

They can only lead to infamous data breaches. Over the last two years, 22 such most notorious cases were reported in Britain.

Even the United States Kevin Byard Camo Jersey , the single superpower in today's world, cannot be immuned from these problems in protecting individual information when people are using big data to analyze how to offer better services to target consumers.

For instance, 198 million Americans' personal information was accidentally released, according to reports from the United States in June.

Undoubtedly, larger and more serious breaches lie ahead.

The new British Data Protection Bill is not expected to remove root causes of data leakage.

Many experts have already warned that businesses are totally unprepared for the new rules coming into force in Britain. Given the high fines for offenses, companies may be stung before getting their houses in order.

Furthermore Derrick Henry Camo Jersey , some argued that the extent of the reforms are unclear -- important personal data such as health records or data of scientific importance may be protected, but at this stage, it is unclear exactly what the exemption may be.

When a lot of questions are raised about web security, it is a desired development to use law as a weapon to keep personal information from being leaked.

In fact, the new measures mark only the first step forward. They will be tested in its implementation.
