Stuttgart
Pre 19t century
Stuttgart itself wis probably foondit aroond 950 AD shortly afore the Battle o Lechfeld bi Duke Liudolf o Swabie, ane o the sons o Holy Roman Emperor Otto I the Great. The toun wis uised for breedin cavalry horse in fertile meadows at the vera centre o the day's ceety, awtho recent archaeological excavations indicate that this aurie wis awready hame tae Merovingian farmers.
Atween this time an the 14t century, the dounset wis awned bi the Margraves o Baden an the Württemberg touns o Backnang an Besigheim.
Aroond 1300, Stuttgart became the residence o the Coonts o Württemberg, who expandit the growin dounset intae the caipital o thair territory (Territorialstaat). Stuttgart wis elevatit tae the status o ceety in 1321 when it became the offeecial ryal residence. The territory aroond Stuttgart wis kent as the Coonty o Württemberg afore the coonts wur elevatit tae dukes bi the Holy Roman Emperor in 1495, when Stuttgart became the Duchy caipital an Ducal residence.
The name Württemberg oreeginates frae a steep hill in Stuttgart, umwhile kent as Wirtemberg.
In the 18t century, Stuttgart temporarily surrendered its residence status efter Eberhard Ludwig foondit Ludwigsburg tae the north o the ceety. In 1775, Karl Eugen requestit a return tae Stuttgart, orderin the construction o the New Castle.
19t an 20t century
In 1803, Stuttgart wis proclaimed caipital o Württemberg Kurfürstentum (ruled bi a Prince-elector) till Napoleon Bonaparte's breakup o the Holy Roman Empire in 1805 when Stuttgart became caipital o the Kinrick o Württemberg. The ryal residence wis expandit unner Frederick I o Württemberg awtho mony o Stuttgart's maist important biggins, includin the Wilhelm Palace, Katharina Hospital, the State Gallery, the Villa Berg an the Königsbau wur biggit unner the reign o Keeng Wilhelm I.
Stuttgart's development as a ceety wis impedit in the 19t century bi its location. It wis nae until the openin o the Main Station in 1846 that the ceety unnerwent an economic revival. The population at the time wis aroond 50,000.
Durin the revolution o 1848/1849, a democratic pan-German naitional parliament (Frankfurt Parliament) wis formed in Frankfurt tae owercome the diveesion o Germany. Efter lang discussions, the parliament decidit tae affer the title o the German emperor tae King Frederick William IV o Proushie. As the democratic movement became weaker, the German princes regained control o thair independent states. Finally, the Proushie king declined the revolutionaries' affer. The members o parliament wur driven oot o Frankfurt an the maist radical members (who wantit tae establish a republic) fled tae Stuttgart. A short while later, this rump parliament wis dissolved bi the Württemberg military.
Bi 1871 Stuttgart boastit 91,000 indwallers, an bi the time Gottlieb Daimler inventit the automobile in a sma wirkshop in Cannstatt, the population haed risen rapidly tae 176,000.
In 1871, as an autonomous kinrick, Württemberg jynt the German Empire creatit bi Otto von Bismarck, Prime Meenister o Proushie, durin the unification o Germany.
At the end o the First Warld War the Württemberg monarchy broke doun: William II o Württemberg refused the croun - but an aa refused tae abdicate - unner pressure frae revolutionaries who stormed the Wilhelm Palace. The Free State o Württemberg wis established, as a pairt o the Weimar Republic. Stuttgart wis proclaimed the caipital.
In 1920 Stuttgart became the seat o the German Naitional Government (efter the admeenistration fled frae Berlin, see Kapp Putsch).
Unner the Nazi regime, Stuttgart began deportation o its Jewish indwallers in 1939. Aroond saxty percent o the German Jewish population haed fled bi the time restrictions on thair movement wur imposed on 1 October 1941, at which pynt Jews livin in Württemberg wur forced tae live in 'Jewish apartments' afore bein 'concentratit' on the umwhile Trade Fair grunds in Killesberg. On 1 December 1941 the first deportation trains wur organised tae Riga. Anerlie 180 Jews frae Württemberg held in concentration camps survived.
Durin the period o Nazi rule, Stuttgart held the "honorary title" Stadt der Auslandsdeutschen (Ceety o the Germans livin ootside o the Reich).
Durin Warld War II, the centre o Stuttgart wis nearly completely destroyed in Allied air raids. Some o the maist severe bombin teuk place in 1944 at the haunds o Anglo-American bombers. The hiviest raid teuk place on 12 September 1944 when the Ryal Air Force bombed the auld toun o Stuttgart droppin ower 184,000 bombs includin 75 blockbusters. Mair nor 1000 fowk perished in the resultin firestorm. In tot Stuttgart wis subjectit tae 53 bombin raids, resultin in the destruction o 68% o aw biggins an the daith o 4477 fowk.
In 1945 the Allied Forces teuk control o Germany, spearheidit bi the French airmy which occupied Stuttgart till the ceety fell intae the American military occupation zone. An early concept o the Marshall Plan aimed at supportin reconstruction an economic/poleetical recovery athort Europe wis presentit durin a speech gien bi US Secretary o State James F. Byrnes at the Stuttgart Opera House. His speech led directly tae the unification o the Breetish an American occupation zones, resultin in the 'bi-zone' (later the 'tri-zone' includin the French). When the Federal Republic o Germany wis foondit on 23 Mey 1949, Stuttgart, lik Frankfurt, wis a serious contender tae acome the federal caipital, but finally Bonn succeedit.

Scots fitbaw league seestem
The Scots fitbaw league seestem is a set o leagues for Scots fitbaw teams. The Scots system is mare complicatit than mony ither naitional league seestems as it haes twa completely deeferent seestems o leagues an teams: senior fitbaw an junior fitbaw. The twa systems hae nothin tae dae wi the ages of the players involvit.
In senior football in Scotland the're twa national leagues: the Scots Premier League an the Scots Fitbaa League (that haes three diveesions). The're several regional leagues an aw (the maist weel-kennt o these bein the Hieland Fitbaa League), but there's nae regular forderment or relegation atween the regional leagues an the national league.
Rangers are the current record holders with 52 titles. Ane senior club based in Ingland, Berwick Rangers, plays in the Scots system in the Scots Fitbaa League. A smaa nummer o Inglis amateur clubs in the lowest levels o the gemme, based aboot the Anglo-Scots border, compete in the Scots system for geographical an travel reasons.
Greater Mexico Ceety
Greater Mexico Ceety refers tae the conurbation aroond Mexico Ceety, offeecially cried Mexico Ceety Metropolitan Aurie (Área Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México), constitutit bi the Federal Destrict—itsel componed o 16 burghs—an 41 adjacent municipalities o the states o Mexico an Hidalgo. For normative purposes, housomeivver, Greater Mexico Ceety maist commonly refers tae the Metropolitan Aurie o the Valley o Mexico (Zona Metropolitana del Valle de México) an agglomeration that incorporates 18 additional municipalities. As o 2009, Greater Mexico Ceety haes a population o 21,163,226, makkin it the third lairgest metropolitan aurie in the warld an the maist populous metropolitan aurie in the Americas.
Syne the 1940s thare hae been different proposals tae establish the leemits o the growin conurbation o Mexico Ceety, an different definitions wur uised unoffeecially as the ceety continued tae grow. The Federal Govrenment (representit bi the Depairtment o Social Development), the Federal Destrict (Mexico Ceety proper), an the State o Mexico greeit on the offeecial definitions for baith the Mexico Ceety Metropolitan Aurie an the Metropolitan Aurie o the Valley o Mexico on 22 December 2005 Per the agreement, maist urban plannin projects will be admeenistered bi Metropolitan Commissions.
Mexico Ceety Metropolitan Aurie
The Mexico Ceety Metropolitan Aurie is definit tae be integratit bi:
Metropolitan Aurie o the Valley o Mexico
The definition o the Mexico Ceety Metropolitan Aurie is positive, in that aw municipalities form a single conurbation. Bi contrast, the Metropolitan Aurie o the Valley o Mexico is considered a normative definition, in that it incorporates 18 additional strategic municipalities in the territorial admeenistration o the region, even if thay are no fully integratit as o yet. Mony urban projects, maistly relatit tae the impruivement o air quality an watter sanitation, are coordinatit for aw constituent municipalities o this agglomeration. The majority o the population reports o urban auries in Mexico refer tae this agglomeration, an no tae the MCMA conurbation.
Geografie an environment
Greater Mexico Ceety spreads ower the Valley o Mexico, cried the valley o Anáhuac an aw, a 9,560 km² (3,691 sq mi) valley that lees at an average o 2,240 m (7,349 ft) abuin sea level but belaw the Tropic o Cancer. Oreeginally, a seestem o interconnectit lakes occupee'd a lairge aurie o the valley, o which Lake Texcoco wis the lairgest. Mexico Ceety wis biggit on the island o Tenochtitlan in the middle o the lake. Durin conquest o Mexico the dikes that protectit the ceety frae recurrent floods wur destroyed an colonial authorities preferred tae drain the watter o the lake, which wis, for the maist pairt, shallae. In 1900 preses Porfirio Díaz inauguratit the Valley's Seestem o Drainage that hinders the growt o watter bodies in the valley (an prevents floods). The basin o the valley o Mexico wis sicweys integratit airtificially tae the Moctezuma river basin which connects tae the Pánuco River. The last remnants o the seestem o lakes are foond in the burghs o Xochimilco an Tláhuac, an in the municipality o Atenco.
The valley o Mexico is surroondit bi muntains on aw fower sides creatin a basin wi anerlie ane sma openin at the north, trappin aw exhaust emissions o the ceety. At the soothren pairt o the basin the muntain range reaches an altitude o 3,952 m (12,965 ft) abuin sea level; an tae the east the volcanoes reach an altitude o mair nor 5,000 m (16,000 ft). The region receives anti-cyclonic seestems, producin weak winds that dae no allou for the dispersion o accumulatit air pollutants, producit bi the 50,000 industries operatin in Greater Mexico Ceety an the 4 million vehicles circulatin in its roads an heich-gates.
Ither environmental programs include the IMECA (Índice Metropolitano de la Calidad del Aire, "Metropolitan Index o Air Quality") a real-time monitorin o the concentrations o several pollutants on the atmosphere o the valley o Mexico. If the IMECA values reach a creetical level, an environmental contingency is declared whaurbi Hoy No Circula is extendit tae twa days per week, industrial activities are reducit, certaint gas pouer plants shut doun, an elementary schuil entry oors are chyngit. Thare haes been a decrease in the nummer o environmental contingencies syne the 1990s (due tae an impruivement fuels, the implementation o industrial controls an relocation o factories), frae mair nor 5 tae anerlie ane or zero a year in the last few years.
Poleetical admeenistration
Lik it is the case wi aw trans-municipal metropolitan auries in Mexico, thare is nae electit govrenment institution in chairge o admeenisterin the entire metropolitan aurie. Each municipality is autonomous tae admeenister its local affairs, regulatit bi the govrenment o the states thay belang tae. Houiver, unlik some ither lairge metropolitan auries that are entirely contained in ane state, lik Greater Guadalajara an Greater Monterrey in which the state govrenment coordinates metropolitan activities, Greater Mexico Ceety spreads ower three federal entities—twa states an the Federal Destrict—an therefore maist o the metropolitan projects hae tae be greeit upon bi govrenment offeecials o each federal entitie an/or owerseen bi the federal govrenment—syne the budget o the Federal Destrict is appruivit bi the Congress o the Union, bein the caipital o the federation—or throu metropolitan commissions.
Economy
Frae 1940 an till 1980, Greater Mexico Ceety experienced an intense rate o demographic growthe concurrent wi the economic policy o import substitution. Mexican industrial production wis hivily centralized in Greater Mexico Ceety durin this period which producit intense immigration tae the ceety. Close tae 52% o the economically active population o Greater Mexico Ceety wirkit in the industry sector in 1970. This situation chyngit drastically durin the period o 1980 tae 2000, in which the economic based shiftit tae the service sector which in 2000 employed close tae 70% o the economically active population in the conurbation. The annual rate o growt decreased sharply as well as the regional an naitional patterns o immigration: residents are muivin oot o the core ceety tae the suburbs or tae nearbi ceeties, whauras the northren states nou receive a lairger nummer o immigrants as new hubs o industrial production. Greater Mexico Ceety's main industries are nou relatit tae tred, financial services, insurance companies, telecommunications, informatics an transportation. In spite o the recent shifts in economic production an the decentralization o the economic activity promotit bi the govrenment, Greater Mexico Ceety's share o tot economic activity in the kintra is still heich, tho decreasing. Mexico Ceety proper alane produces 21.8% o the naition's Gross Domestic Product, lairger than ony o the states.
Demographics
Greater Mexico Ceety is the lairgest metropolitan aurie in Mexico an the aurie wi the heichest population densitie. As o 2009, 21,163,226 fowk live in this urban agglomeration, o which 8,841,916 live in Mexico Ceety proper. In terms o population, the biggest municipalities that are pairt o Greater Mexico Ceety (excludin Mexico Ceety proper) are:
The abuin municipalities are locatit in the state o Mexico; in fact, approximately 75% (10 million) o the state o México's population live in municipalities that are pairt o Greater Mexico Ceety's conurbation.
Greater Mexico Ceety wis the fastest growin metropolitan aurie in the kintra till the late 1980s. Syne then, an throu a policy o decentralization in order tae reduce the environmental pollutants o the growin conurbation, the annual rate o growt o the agglomeration haes decreased, an it is lawer than that o the ither fower lairgest metropolitan auries (namely Greater Guadalajara, Greater Monterrey, Greater Puebla an Greater Toluca) even tho it is still positive. The net migration rate o Mexico Ceety proper frae 1995 tae 2000, housomeivver, wis negative, which implees that residents are muivin tae the suburbs o the metropolitan aurie, or tae ither states o Mexico. In addition, some inner ceety suburbs are luisin population tae ooter ceety suburbs, indicatin continual expansion o Greater Mexico Ceety.
Transportation
Greater Mexico Ceety is connected throu a private netwirk o toll expressways tae the nearbi ceeties o Querétaro, Toluca, Cuernavaca, Pachuca an Puebla. Internally, the Federal Destrict is servicit bi airterial roads, locally cried ejes viales, while the metro aurie is connectit bi twa ring roads: the Periférico an Circuito Interior, wi an elevatit heich-gate runnin on tap o the first ane. In 2007 the Eje Troncal Metropolitano wis feenished, a heich-gate that connects Xochimilco wi Ciudad Azteca.
The federal govrenment haes stairtit the construction o a toll expresswa that wad connect the expresswas o Querétaro an Puebla, sae that traffeck muiving athort the kintra wad no hae tae go intae the ceety. The project is pairtially completit an local residents o the ootermaist municipalities uise it as a heich-speed alternative tae traivel athor the suburbs athoot haein tae uise the internal airterial roads o the ceety.
The maist important public transportation is the metro, ane o the lairgest in the warld wi 207 km an 175 stations, that anerlie services Mexico Ceety proper, even tho it is further extendit bi the Xochimilco Light Rail an new lines A an B. A commuter train, the Tren Suburbano, serve several municipalities o the metropolitan aurie syne it stairtit operatin bi mid-2007, wi new lines planned.
Unlik ither lairge metropolitan auries, Greater Mexico Ceety is servit bi anerlie ane airport, the Mexico Ceety Internaitional Airport or best kent as Benito Juárez Internaitional Airport, whose traffeck exceeds the current capacity. The 2000-2006 federal admeenistrations proposed the construction o a seicont airport for the metropolitan aurie tae be locatit at the municipality o Texcoco. Local residents, housomeivver, opposed the project, an the govrenment decidit tae big a seicont terminal on the restrictit aurie o the current airport, an decentralize flichts tae the nearbi metropolitan auries o Toluca, Puebla, Pachuca an Cuernavaca, which, alang wi Greater Mexico Ceety, conform a megalopolis (kent in Spainyie as a corona regional or ciudad-región).
Landmarks
Important laundmerks o Greater Mexico Ceety include the Historic Center o Mexico Ceety, the floatin gardens o Xochimilco, the Pre-Hispanic ceety ruins Teotihuacan, locatit at the municipality o the same name, aw three declared Warld Heritage Steids bi UNESCO in 1987. The Naitional Pairks at the soothren portion o the Federal Destrict (ower the muntainous range o Ajusco), the Pairks o Popocatépetl an Iztaccíhuatl an the Naitional Reserve o Lake Texcoco are some o the environmental laundmerks o the valley as well.
Ramla
Ramla ( Ramlāh; الرملة ar-Ramlah, an aa Ramlah, Ramle, Remle an whiles Rama), is a ceety in central Israel. The ceety is predominantly Jewish wi a significant Arab minority. Ramla wis foondit circa 705–715 AD bi the Umayyad Caliph Suleiman ibn Abed al-Malik efter the Arab conquest o the region. Ramla lays alang the route o the Via Maris, connectin auld Cairo (Fustat) wi Damascus, at the intersection o the roads connectin the port o Jaffa wi Jerusalem.
It wis conquered mony times in the course o its history, bi the Abbasids, the Ikhshidids, the Fatamids, the Seljuqs, the Crusaders, the Mameluks, the Turks, the Breetish, an the Israelis. Efter an ootbreak o the Black Daith in 1347, which greatly reduced the population, an order o Franciscan monks establisht a presence in the ceety. Unner Arab an Ottoman rule the ceety acome an important tred center. Napoleon's French Airmy occupied it in 1799 on its wey tae Acre.
Most o the toun's Arab residents wur expelled durin the 1948 Arab-Israeli War while ithers remained in the toun. The toun wis subsequently repopulatit bi Jewish immigrants.
The Giv'on immigration detention centre is locatit in Ramla.
In recent years, attempts hae been made tae develop an bonnify the ceety, which haes been plagued bi neglect, financial problems an a negative public image. New shoppin malls an public pairks hae been biggit, an a municipal museum opened in 2001.
