Ceety o Brussels
The Ceety o Brussels (French: Bruxelles-Ville or Ville de Bruxelles, Dutch: Stad Brussel) is the lairgest municipality o the Brussels-Caipital Region, an the offeecial caipital o Belgium bi law.
Somewha in the wey that the Ceety o Lunnon is different frae Lunnon, the Ceety o Brussels is different frae Brussels. Housomeivver, the expansion o the ceety wis frozen at a later stage than the Ceety o Lunnon, so that in addition tae the auld centre o Brussels, the touns o Haren, Laeken an Neder-Over-Heembeek tae the north, an Avenue Louise an the Bois de la Cambre pairk tae the sooth, are includit.
On 1 Januar 2006, the Ceety o Brussels haed a total population o 144,784. The total aurie is 32.61 km² which gives a population density o 4,440 inhabitants per km². As o 2007, there wur approximately 50,000 registered non-Belgians in the Ceety o Brussels.
Territorial history
At first, the Ceety o Brussels wis simply defined, being the aurie athin the seicont waws o Brussels, the modren-day sma ring. As the ceety grew, the surroondin veelages grew as well, eventually growin intae a contiguous ceety, though the local govrenments retained control o their aurie.
The construction o Avenue Louise was commissioned in 1847 as a monumental avenue bordered by chestnut trees that would allow easy access to the popular recreational aurie o the Bois de la Cambre. Housomeivver, fierce resistance tae the project wis put up bi the toun o Ixelles (which wis then still separate frae Brussels) through whose land the avenue wis supposed tae run. Efter years o fruitless negotiations, Brussels feenally annexed the narrae baund o land needit for the avenue plus the Bois de la Cambre itsel in 1864. That decision accoonts for the unuisual sootheastren protrusion o the Ceety o Brussels an for Ixelles being split in twa separate pairts. The Université Libre de Bruxelles' Solbosch campus is an a pairt o the Ceety o Brussels, pairtially accoontin for the bulge in the sootheast end.
Unlike maist o the municipalities in Belgium, the anes locatit in the Brussels-Caipital Region wur no merged wi ithers durin mergers occurrin in 1964, 1970, an 1975. Housomeivver, several municipalities been merged wi the Ceety o Brussels throughoot its history includin Laeken, Haren, an Neder-Over-Heembeek, which wur merged intae the Ceety o Brussels in 1921.
Mayors
As in ivery ither Belgian municipality, the Ceety o Brussels is heidit bi a mayor, which shoud be ramseefelt wi neither the Meenister-Preses o the Brussels-Caipital Region nor the Govrenor o Brussels-Caipital.
Caipital o Belgium
Accordin tae the Belgian Constitution (Art. 194) the caipital o Belgium is the Ceety o Brussels municipality. Arguments that the uise o lawer case in "ville" and "stad" in Airticle 194 for "ville de Bruxelles" (French), "stad Brussel" (Dutch) makes a subtle difference an means that Brussels at lairge is the caipital canna be defendit on a legal basis. Housomeivver, although the Ceety o Brussels is the offeecial caipital, the funds delegatit bi the federation an region for the representative role o the caipital are dividit amang the 19 municipalities an, in practice, naitional Belgian institutions are indeed locatit no anerlie in the Ceety o Brussels, although mony are, but an aa in maist o the ither 18 municipalities o the Brussels-Caipital region. The implication is that de facto the entire Region serves as caipital, but de jure anerlie the Ceety o Brussels is entitled tae the title o caipital o Belgium.

Mahdia
Mahdia, (المهدية al-Mahdiya), is a Tunisian coastal ceety wi 37,000 inhabitants, sooth o Monastir an sootheast o Sousse.
Mahdia is a provincial centre north o Sfax. It is important for the associated fish-processing industry, as well as weaving. It is the capital of Mahdia Governorate.
History
A ceety awready existit at this site durin the time o the Phoenicians an Romans, but wis destroyed durin the Arab conquest o North Africae. Mahdia wis foondit bi the Fatimids unner the Caliph Abdallah al-Mahdi in 921 an made the caipital ceety o Ifriqiya, bi caliph Abdallah El Fatimi. It wis chosen the caipital acause o its proximity tae the sea, an the promontory on which an important military settlement haed been syne the time o the Phoenicians. In 1087 the toun wis attacked bi raidin ships frae Genoa an Pisa who burned the Muslim fleet in the harbor. This played a critical role in winnin control o the Wastren Mediterranean an allouin the First Crusade tae be supplied bi sea. The Zirid dynasty haed its residence here in the 11t century, but wis brocht tae an end bi the Norman conquest o the ceety in 1148. In 1160 the ceety comes unner Almohad rule.
The role o the caipital wis taken ower bi Tunis in the 13t century durin the Hafsid Dynasty. Some biggins still exist frae the 10t an 11t centuries, such as the Great Mosque an the Casbah, which hae helped make the ceety an important tourist attraction.
Later the ceety wis subject tae mony raids. In 1390 a French crusader airmy laid siege tae the ceety but failed tae take it. Eventually the ceety wis destroyed an burnt doun bi the Spainyie.
Mahdia wus an aa the site whaur Khaled Abdelwahhab hid approximately twa dozen Jews frae the Nazi occupiers durin Warld War II.

The aurie o the destrict is 5500 km2. Its admeenistrative centre is the urban locality (a wirk dounset) o Vozhega. Population: 18,976 (2002 Census);  The population o Vozhega accoonts for 40.1% o the destrict's tot population.
Geografie
The aurie the destrict is elongatit frae wast tae east an shared atween three major drainage basins. The wast border o the destrict is drawn across Loch Vozhe which belangs tae the basin o the Onega River. The wastren an northwastren pairts o the destrict are a pairt o Loch Vozhe's basin. The main tributar o the loch, the Vozhega River, haes its entire course athin the destrict. The central an eastren pairts o the destrict belang tae the basin o the Kubena River an its tributars. The Kubena haes its soorce in Arkhangelsk Oblast an flows sooth, crossin Vozhegodsky Destrict frae north tae sooth. It haes its mooth in Loch Kubenskoye an belangs tae the basin o the Sukhona River. Minor auries in the soothwast an the sooth o the destrict lee in the basin o the tributars o the Kubena an o the Uftyuga River, which flows intae Loch Kubenskoye an aw. Feenally, rivers in some auries in the east o the destrict flow an drain east intae the basin o the Vaga. In pairticular, ane o the main left tributars o the Vaga, the Pezhma, haes its soorce locatit in the destrict. The whole aurie o the destrict belangs tae the White Sea basin.
Firths occupee 78% o the destrict's territory. Thare are three designatit protectit auries o local significance: the zakazniks Maryinsky Bor an Tsaryov Bor, as well as the Northren Orchids Natural Monument.
Hintle o the aurie o the destrict is covered bi swamps. The biggest ane is the Charonda Swamp sootheast o Loch Vozhe (shared wi Ust-Kubensky an Kirillovsky Destricts an aw).
History
The aurie wis spairsely populatit till the end o the 19t century, due tae its remote location frae aw the trade routes connectin Northren Roushie wi the White Sea. In 1894, the construction o the railwey line atween Vologda an Arkhangelsk stairtit. The railwey wis planned tae run ower the shortest route rather than pass throu existin dounsets, an it wis eventually biggit throu the present aurie the destrict. Vozhega wis foondit in 1895 as a railwey station.
In 1918, five uyezds o Novgorod Govrenorate, includin Kirillovsky Uyezd, wur split aff tae form Cherepovets Govrenorate. In 1919, northwastren pairts o Kirillovsky Uyezd wur transferred tae Kadnikovsky Uyezd o Vologda Govrenorate an Kargopolsky Uyezd o Olonets Govrenorate. The current territory o Vozhegodsky Destrict wis at this pynt in Kadnikovsky Uyezd.
On 15 Julie 1929, the uyezds wur abolisht, the govrenorates mergit intae Northren Krai, an Vozhegodsky Destrict wis establisht amang ithers. It became a pairt o Vologda Okrug o Northren Krai. In the follaein years, the first-level admeenistrative diveesion o Roushie kept chyngin. In 1936, the krai wis transformit intae Northren Oblast, which in turn wis split intae Arkhangelsk Oblast an Vologda Oblast in 1937. Vozhegodsky Destrict remained in Vologda Oblast iver syne.

Access tae Rayones is difficult. The main heich-gate, comin frae Montemorelos, is a challenge for maist drivers. The unpaved heich-gate comin frae Galeana is even mair risky, as it is a twa-wey road whaur anerlie ane vehicle fits; it is rocky, lined bi a dangerous cliff an haes nae guard rail.
Rayones, housomeivver, is a touristic delicht for affroad enthusiasts who traivel lang distances frae the state's caipital, Monterrey, crossin the Pilón river, the toun's primary watter soorce.

Osaka
Osaka (大阪, Ōsaka) is a ceety in the Kansai region o Japan's main island o Honshū, the designatit ceety unner the Local Autonomy Law, the caipital ceety o Osaka Prefectur an an' a' the hert o Greater Osaka Aurie. Locatit at the mooth o the Yodo River on Osaka Bay, Osaka is the third lairgest ceety bi population efter Tokyo an Yokohama.
For reference, Greater Osaka Aurie is the seicont mucklest aurie in Japan bi population an ane o the mucklest metropolitan aurie heichlie ranked in the warld, wi nearly 18 million fowk, an bi GDP, the seicont lairgest aurie in Japan an the seivent lairgest aurie in the warld.
Historically the commercial caipital o Japan, Osaka functions as ane o the command centres for the Japanese economy. The ratio atween daytime an nicht time population is 141%, the heichest in Japan, hiehlichtin its status as an economic centre. Its nichttime population is 2.6 million, the third in the kintra, but in daytime the population surges tae 3.7 million, seicont anerlie efter Tokyo. Osaka haes tradeetionally been referred tae as the "naition's kitchen" (天下の台所), or the Mecca o gourmet fuid.
Derivation o name
"Osaka" leeterally means "lairge hill" or "lairge slope." It is unclear whan this name gained prominence ower Naniwa, but the auldest uisage o the name dates back tae a 1496 text. Osaka, nou written 大阪, wis umwhile written uisin a different seicont kanji as 大坂 prior tae 1870. At the time, the pairtisans for the Meiji Restoration wished tae avoid the seicont kanji bein implicitly read as "士反," meanin samurai rebellion. The auld writin is still in vera limitit uise tae emphasize history, but the seicont kanji 阪 is nou universally considered referrin tae Osaka ceety an prefectur anerlie, tae distinguish it frae homonyms in ither Japanese prefecturs.
Neighborhuids
Central Osaka is aften dividit intae twa auries referred tae as Kita (キタ, lit. north) an Minami (ミナミ, lit. sooth), at either end o the major thoroughfare Midōsuji. Kita is roughly the aurie surroondin the business an retail destrict o Umeda. Minami is hame tae the Namba, Shinsaibashi, an Dōtonbori shoppin destricts. The entertainment destrict aroond Dōtonbori Brig wi its famous giant mechanical crab, Triangle Pairk, an Amerikamura ("Americae Veelage") is in Minami. In Yodoyabashi an Honmachi, atween Kita an Minami, is the traditional business aurie whaur courts an naitional/regional heidquarters o major banks are locatit. The newer business aurie is in the Osaka Business Pairk locatit nearbi Osaka Castle. Business destricts hae an aa formed aroond the seicontary rail termini, sic as Tennoji Station an Kyobashi Station.
“The 808 brigs o Naniwa” wis an expression in auld Japan for awe an wonder, an adage kent athort the land. “808” wis a muckle nummer which seembolised the idea o “uncountable”. In the Edo period thare wur anerlie aboot 200 brigs. Syne Osaka is crossed bi a nummer o rivers an canals, mony brigs wur biggit wi specific names, an the auries surroondin the brigs wur aften referred tae bi the names o the brigs, too. Some o the waterways, sic as the Nagahori canal, hae been filled in, while ithers still remain. In 1925 thare wur actually 1629 brigs in Osaka but wi the fillin in o canals an rivers, as o Aprile 2003, the nummer haes dropped tae 872, 760 o which are currently managed bi Osaka Ceety.

Mary Bell
Mary Flora Bell (born 26 Mey 1957) is a Breetish wumman who wis convictit in Dizember 1968 o the manslauchter o twa boys, Martin Brown (agit fower) an Brian Howe (agit three). Bell wis 10 year auld when she killed Brown an 11 when she killed Howe, makkin her ane o Breetain's maist notorious bairn killers.
Early life
Bell's mither Betty (née McCrickett) wis a prostitute who wis aften absent frae the faimily hame, travellin tae Glesga tae wirk. Mary (elk-namit May) wis her first bairn, born when Betty wis 17 year auld. It is no kent who Mary's biological faither wis; for maist o her life she believit it tae be Billy Bell, a habitual creeminal later arrestit for airmit robbery who haed marriet Betty some time efter Mary wis born. Independent accoonts frae faimily members strangly suggest that Betty haed mair nor ance attemptit tae kill Mary an mak her daith leuk accidental durin the first few years o her life. Mary hersel says she wis subjectit tae repeatit sexual abuse, her mither forcin her frae the age o fower tae engage in sexual acts wi men.
The killins
On 25 Mey 1968, the day afore her 11t birthday, Mary Bell strangled fower-year-auld Martin Brown in a derelict hoose. She wis believit tae hae committed this creeme alane. Atween that time an a seicont killin, she an a friend, Norma Joyce Bell (nae relation), agit 13, breuk intae an vandalisit a nursery in Scotswood, leavin notes that claimit responsibility for the killin. The polis dismissed this incident as a prank.
On 31 Julie 1968, the pair teuk part in the daith, again bi stranglin, o three-year-auld Brian Howe, on wasteland in the same Scotswood aurie. Polis reports concludit that Mary Bell haed later returned tae his body tae carve an "N" intae his stomach wi a razor; this wis then chyngit uisin the same razor but wi a different haund tae an "M". Mary Bell uised a pair o scissors tae cut aff some o Howe's hair an aw, scratch his legs, an mutilate his penis. As the girls wur so young an their testimonies contradictit each ither, the precise details o wha happened hae niver been entirely clear.
An open verdict haed oreeginally been recordit for Brown's daith as thare wis nae evidence o foul play — awtho Bell haed strangled him, her grip wis no hard enough tae leave ony marks. Eventually, his daith wis linkit wi Howe's killin an in August 1968 the twa girls wur chairgit wi twa coonts o manslauchter.
Conviction
On 17 December 1968, at Newcastle Assizes, Norma Bell wis acquittit but Mary Bell wis convictit o manslauchter on the grunds o diminished responsibility, the jury takkin their lead frae her diagnosis bi court-appointit psychiatrists who describit her as displayin "classic symptoms o psychopathy". The judge, Mr. Justice Cusack, describit her as dangerous an said she posed a "very grave risk tae ither childer". She wis sentencit tae be detained at Her Majesty's pleasure, effectively a indefinite sentence o impreesonment. She wis initially sent tae Red Bank secur unit in St. Helens, Lancashire — the same facility that wad hoose Jon Venables, ane o James Bulger's bairn killers, 25 years later.
Efter her conviction, Bell wis the focus o a great deal o attention frae the Breetish press an frae the German Stern magazine an aw. Her mither repeatitly sauld stories aboot her tae the press an aften gave reporters writins she claimit tae be Mary's. Bell hersel made headlines when, in September 1977, she briefly abscondit frae Moore Court open preeson, whaur she haed been held syne her transfer frae a young affenders institution tae a adult preeson a year earlier. Her penalty for this wis a loss o preeson privileges for 28 days.
For a time, Bell livit in a girls' remand hame at Cumberlow Lodge in South Norwood an aw (in a hoose built bi Victorian inventor William Stanley).
