Through the rain and hail yesterday this bird was singing both in and out of the bush. Stopping now and again to forage for food. I have noticed there isn't many insects about and the smaller birds have been flocking into our garden feeders even in the sudden hail storms.

Aparentemente, todas as provas apontam no sentido de que os primeiros assentamentos em Salzburgo tenham sido feitos pelos celtas. Por volta do ano 15 a.C., os assentamentos isolados foram-se unindo em torno da cidade. Nesta época a cidade era chamada Juvavum e recebeu o status de municipium romano em 45 d.C. Juvavum desenvolveu-se e tornou-se uma importante cidade da província romana de Nórica. Após o colapso da fronteira nórica, Juvavum declinou tão acentuadamente que no final do século VII já estava praticamente transformada num amontoado de ruínas.
O renascimento da cidade, está atribuído a um santo do século VIII de seu nome Stº. Rupert, este foi o responsável por evangelizar no final de século VII e início do século VIII os bávaros. A evangelização bem sucedida desta terra deve-se em grande parte à conversão do duque da Baviera Teodón II ao Cristianismo. No ano de 699 o Duque deu a São Rupert as ruínas da antiga cidade de Juvavum para este construir lá a Abadia de San Pedro e o Convento Nonnberg, que funcionaram como centros de evangelização na região, criando uma comunidade religiosa na área. Quando Teodón da Baviera pediu a Rupert para se tornar bispo, por volta do ano 700, Rupert explorou o rio para escolher um local aonde edificar a sua basílica. Rupert escolheu Juvavum e ai começou por, ordenar padres e anexar o senhorio de Piding. Rupert chamou á cidade "Salzburg" e viajou para a evangelizar entre os pagãos. O nome Salzburg significa "castelo de sal". O nome é derivado das barcaças que transportavam sal no rio Salzach, e estavam sujeitas a um pedágio (tributo de passagem por uma ponte) no século VIII, como era habitual em muitas comunidades e cidades atravessadas por grandes rios europeus.
A Festung Hohensalzburg, a fortaleza da cidade, foi construída em 1077 e expandida durante os séculos seguintes. A cidade ficou conhecida pelo incrível músico Wolfang Amadeus Mozart um dos maiores compositores de música clássica do mundo, que ai nasceu. A independência da Baviera foi assegurada no final do século XIV. Salzburgo foi a sede do Arcebispado de Salzburgo, um príncipe-bispado do Sacro Império Romano. Em 31 de Outubro de 1731, 214º aniversário da afixação por Martinho Lutero das suas 95 teses na porta da Escola Wittenberg, o arcebispo Leopold Anton von Firmian assinou um édito de Expulsão, o Emigrationspatent, aconselhando todos os protestantes a abjurar das suas crenças não católicas, caso contrário seriam banidos da cidade. (Não confundir com muitos éditos de expulsão semelhantes publicados contra os judeus em várias cidades da Europa). Os proprietários de terras tiveram dois dias para as vender e partir. Bovinos, ovinos, mobiliários e terras, tudo tinha que ser despejado no mercado, em troca, os Salzburguenses recebiam muito pouco dinheiro dos católicos abastados aliados de Von Firmian. Von Firmian confiscou grande parte das terras para a sua própria família e ordenou que todos os livros e Bíblias protestantes fossem queimados. Muitas crianças até 12 anos de idade foram capturadas para serem criadas como católicas romanas… (Aonde e que eu já vi isto!)
Os arrendatários de terras, comerciantes, operários e mineradores tiveram apenas oito dias para vender o que pudessem e partir. Os primeiros refugiados marcharam para o norte com temperaturas terrivelmente frias e tempestades de neve, procurando abrigo nas poucas cidades da Alemanha controladas por príncipes protestantes. As crianças iam sobre vagões de madeira carregados de bagagem. Enquanto caminhavam, as economias dos refugiados iam-se esgotando rapidamente: eram atacados por salteadores, que exigiam impostos, pedágios e pagamentos para protecção dos ladrões. A notícia da situação dos refugiados era propagada rapidamente à medida que as suas colunas marchavam para o norte. Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe escreveu o poema "Hermann e Doroteia", que, embora retratasse rupturas causadas na sequência da Revolução Francesa, foi motivado pela história da marcha dos refugiados de Salzburgo. Protestantes e alguns católicos ficaram horrorizados com a crueldade das suas expulsões em pleno inverno, e com a coragem que eles demonstraram ao não renunciar à sua fé. Lentamente no início, os refugiados chegavam às cidades que os acolhiam e lhes ofereciam ajuda. Mas não havia lugar onde tantos refugiados se pudessem estabelecer.
Finalmente, em 1732, o rei Frederico Guilherme I da Prússia aceitou 12 000 emigrantes protestantes de Salzburgo, que se instalaram em áreas do leste da Prússia que haviam sido devastadas pela peste negra vinte anos antes. Outros grupos menores seguiram para Debrecen e para regiões de Banat no Reino da Hungria, onde actualmente se encontram a Eslováquia e a Sérvia; o Reino da Hungria recrutou alemães para repovoar áreas ao longo do rio Danúbio dizimadas pela peste e pela invasão Otomana. Os Salzburguenses também migraram para áreas protestantes perto de Berlim e Hanôver, na Alemanha, e para os Países Baixos. Em 12 de Março de 1734, um pequeno grupo de aproximadamente sessenta refugiados de Salzburgo, que havia viajado primeiro para Londres, chegou a colónia britânica da Geórgia, na América do Norte, em busca de liberdade religiosa. Mais tarde naquele ano, juntaram-se a um segundo grupo, e, em 1741, um total de aproximadamente 150 refugiados de Salzburgo tinham fundado a cidade de Ebenezer, nas margens do rio Savannah. Os Salzburguenses protestantes na Lituânia Prussiana mantiveram uma identidade alemã étnica distinta ao longo dos séculos seguintes, conservando a sua língua em escolas e igrejas. Os seus descendentes foram expulsos após a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Os refugiados de etnia alemã seguiram para a Europa Ocidental, os Estados Unidos e outras nações ocidentais. Aqueles que se estabeleceram na antiga Alemanha Ocidental, fundaram uma associação comunitária para preservar a sua identidade histórica.
Durante a Anschluss (anexação) da Áustria, Salzburgo foi anexada ao Terceiro Reich alemão em 12 de Março de 1938, um dia antes de um referendo programado sobre a independência da Áustria tropas alemãs foram deslocadas para a cidade. Opositores políticos, cidadãos judeus e outras minorias como sempre foram posteriormente presas e deportadas. A sinagoga foi destruída e vários campos para prisioneiros de guerra da União Soviética e outras nações foram organizados na região. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, o campo de concentração "KZ Salzburg-Maxglan" estava localizado na cidade. Era um campo de ciganos, mais uma minoria que fornecia trabalho escravo para a indústria local. Bombardeamentos aliados destruíram 7 600 residências e mataram 550 habitantes. Embora as pontes da cidade e a cúpula da catedral tenham sido destruídas, grande parte de sua arquitectura barroca permaneceu intacta. Como resultado, Salzburgo é um dos poucos exemplos de cidade neste estilo. As tropas americanas entraram em Salzburgo a 5 de Maio de 1945. Após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, havia vários campos para pessoas deslocados na cidade. Salzburgo foi o centro da área ocupada pelos americanos na Áustria.
Sempre que recuo na historia encontro semelhanças com o holocausto e promessas insistentemente repetidas de que tal não voltará a acontecer…Quer estejamos a falar de três mil, dois mil, quinhentos anos, ou mesmo agora no nosso tempo, o discurso demagogo dos responsáveis políticos ou militares é sempre o mesmo, e o certo é que acabamos sempre por cair nas mesmas armadilhas sem nada ou muito pouco aprender… Eu pessoalmente fico triste pois quando olho em meu redor vejo muito poucas pessoas que gostam de olhar para traz, para o momento dos nossos erros, para aquilo que nos poderia ensinar a não voltar a comete-los, para os factos que nos poderiam dar lições e ensinar a não repetir tais tragédias, mas como somos poucos rapidamente somos esquecidos e quanto mais depressa formos esquecidos, mais depressa se voltam a cometer os mesmos crimes…
Salzburg é certamente uma cidade de música. Foi a casa e local de nascimento de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart e o memorial a ele no Mozart Salzburg Praça homenageia o filho mais famoso da cidade. Salzburg tem uma longa história de ser um destino popular para os músicos. Esta cidade manteve o seu charme e personalidade ao longo dos séculos. Hoje Salzburgo é conhecida pelo seu Festival cultural anual (Salzburger Festspiele), que oferece uma variedade de óperas, concertos e peças teatrais, que vão do clássico ao estilo contemporâneo. A cidade também é um lugar muito popular para estudar, para uma sólida formação musical ou teatral e, como resultado, muitos estudantes de todo o mundo inscrevem-se numa de muitas escolas diferentes em Salzburg a cada ano. Em 27 de Janeiro de 2006, data do 250º aniversário de nascimento de Mozart, todas as 35 igrejas de Salzburgo tocaram os seus sinos um pouco após as 20 h (hora local) para celebrar a ocasião. Grandes celebrações ocorreram durante todo o ano. Salzburgo é um perfeito exemplo de uma cidade que "recusou crescer" em demasia, que soube resistir à tentação dos arranha-céus e mais recentemente, dos centros comerciais de gosto duvidoso. Isto não quer dizer que tenha virado costas à modernidade. Muito pelo contrário. Optou claramente pela recuperação e manutenção do seu centro histórico, nomeadamente, no pós-2ª Guerra Mundial, quando teve de reconstruir a sua catedral, ferida na cúpula durante um bombardeamento aéreo, em Outubro de 1944. Consagrada a São Rupert e São Virgílio, a catedral data do ano 1628 e é considerada pela sua imponência e riqueza de ornamentação do período barroco, um dos mais belos tesouros de toda a região germano-austríaca. Não é por acaso que Salzburgo é frequentemente apelidada de "Roma germânica", tal o número e diversidade de igrejas construídas no perímetro do seu centro histórico. Figura na lista do património mundial da UNESCO desde 1997. Passear a pé pelas antigas ruas medievais de Salzburgo, na margem esquerda do rio Salzach, como para nossa enorme felicidade o podemos fazer, assemelha-se a uma pequena viagem no tempo, perante um verdadeiro caleidoscópio de edifícios da Idade Média e dos períodos do renascimento e barroco, que conservam muitos dos seus elementos originais.
Em Salzburgo, ainda hoje, se pode escutar a música de Mozart um pouco por toda a parte. Dos humildes músicos de rua aos mais requintados concertos, passando pelos jantares à luz da vela organizados com trajes e ementas tradicionais da época (séculos XVII e XVIII). É o que propõe o restaurante Stiftskeller - que se intitula o restaurante ("gasthaus") mais antigo da Europa, fundado pelos monges beneditinos, no século IX e com referências que remontam à visita do Imperador Carlos Magno à cidade, ao som do Amadeus Consort, um grupo de músicos e cantores que se consagra à interpretação das árias mais célebres de Mozart, como "A Flauta Mágica" ou "Dom Giovanni".
Mitos e lendas de Salzburgo
A montanha Untersberg de Salzburgo é uma montanha espiritual, sujeita a muitos mitos e lendas. Uma dessas lendas diz que esta montanha é o último refúgio do imperador Carlos Magno, que dorme escondido bem no fundo do seu interior. Segundo a lenda, Carlos Magno acorda a cada 100 anos. Se nessa altura os corvos locais ainda estiverem em volta dos rebanhos ou ao redor do topo da Untersberg, ele volta a dormir por mais 100 anos...
Outro mito narra o conto do famoso cruzado Friedrich Barbarossa, que está a espera para imergir da tumba dos mortos dentro da montanha. Enquanto espera, a sua barba continua a crescer lentamente envolvendo-se em torno da mesa redonda de café de Barbarossa. A sua barba já esta embrulhada ao redor da mesa duas vezes. Assim que ficar acondicionada em torno da mesa três vezes, o fim do mundo está próximo. São os mitos e as lendas que vão fascinando as gerações ao longo de milhares de anos e a nossa geração não será certamente uma excepção… Ainda bem que assim é… Um grande bem-haja a este magnífico povo que tão bem sabe receber…

Amsterdam is the capital and most populous city of the Netherlands. Its status as the Dutch capital is mandated by the Constitution of the Netherlands, although Amsterdam is not the seat of the Dutch government which is The Hague. Amsterdam has a population of 802,938 within city limits, 1,560,414 in the urban region and 2,332,839 in the greater metropolitan area. The city is located in the province of North Holland in the west of the country. It comprises much of the northern part of the Randstad, one of the larger conurbations in Europe, with a population of approximately 7 million.
Amsterdam's name derives from Amstelredamme, indicative of the city's origin: a dam in the river Amstel. Originating as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam became one of the most important ports in the world during the Dutch Golden Age, a result of its innovative developments in trade. During that time, the city was the leading center for finance and diamonds. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the city expanded, and many new neighborhoods and suburbs were planned and built. The 17th-century canals of Amsterdam and the 19–20th century Defence Line of Amsterdam are on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
As the commercial capital of the Netherlands and one of the top financial centres in Europe, Amsterdam is considered an alpha world city by the Globalization and World Cities (GaWC) study group. The city is also the cultural capital of the Netherlands.] Many large Dutch institutions have their headquarters there, and 7 of the world's top 500 companies, including Philips and ING, are based in the city. In 2012, Amsterdam was ranked 2nd best city to live by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and 12th globally on quality of living by Mercer. The city was previously ranked 3rd in innovation by 2thinknow in the Innovation Cities Index 2009.
The Amsterdam Stock Exchange, the oldest stock exchange in the world, is located in the city center. Amsterdam's main attractions, including its historic canals, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum, Hermitage Amsterdam, Anne Frank House, Amsterdam Museum, its red-light district, and its many cannabis coffee shops draw more than 3.66 million international visitors annually.
The earliest recorded use of the name "Amsterdam" is from a certificate dated 27 October 1275, when the inhabitants, who had built a bridge with a dam across the Amstel, were exempted from paying a bridge toll by Count Floris V. The certificate describes the inhabitants as homines manentes apud Amestelledamme (people living near Amestelledamme). By 1327, the name had developed into Aemsterdam
Amsterdam's founding is relatively recent compared with much older Dutch cities such as Nijmegen, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. In October 2008, historical geographer Chris de Bont suggested that the land around Amsterdam was being reclaimed as early as the late 10th century. This does not necessarily mean that there was already a settlement then since reclamation of land may not have been for farming—it may have been for peat, used as fuel.
Amsterdam was granted city rights in either 1300 or 1306. From the 14th century on, Amsterdam flourished, largely because of trade with the Hanseatic League. In 1345, an alleged Eucharistic miracle in the Kalverstraat rendered the city an important place of pilgrimage until the adoption of the Protestant faith. The Stille Omgang—a silent procession in civil attire—is today a remnant of the rich pilgrimage history
In the 16th century, the Dutch rebelled against Philip II of Spain and his successors. The main reasons for the uprising were the imposition of new taxes, the tenth penny, and the religious persecution of Protestants by the Spanish Inquisition. The revolt escalated into the Eighty Years' War, which ultimately led to Dutch independence. Strongly pushed by Dutch Revolt leader William the Silent, the Dutch Republic became known for its relative religious tolerance. Jews from the Iberian Peninsula, Huguenots from France, prosperous merchants and printers from Flanders, and economic and religious refugees from the Spanish-controlled parts of the Low Countries found safety in Amsterdam. The influx of Flemish printers and the city's intellectual tolerance made Amsterdam a centre for the European free press
The 17th century is considered Amsterdam's Golden Age, during which it became the wealthiest city in the world. Ships sailed from Amsterdam to the Baltic Sea, North America, and Africa, as well as present-day Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, and Brazil, forming the basis of a worldwide trading network. Amsterdam's merchants had the largest share in both the Dutch East India Company and the Dutch West India Company. These companies acquired overseas possessions that later became Dutch colonies. Amsterdam was Europe's most important point for the shipment of goods and was the leading Financial Centre of the world. In 1602, the Amsterdam office of the Dutch East India Company became the world's first stock exchange by trading in its own shares.
Amsterdam lost over 10% of its population to plague in 1623–1625, and again in 1635–1636, 1655, and 1664. Nevertheless, the population of Amsterdam rose in the 17th century (largely through immigration) from 50,000 to 200,000
Amsterdam's prosperity declined during the 18th and early 19th centuries. The wars of the Dutch Republic with England and France took their toll on Amsterdam. During the Napoleonic Wars, Amsterdam's significance reached its lowest point, with Holland being absorbed into the French Empire. However, the later establishment of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815 marked a turning point.
The end of the 19th century is sometimes called Amsterdam's second Golden Age. New museums, a train station, and the Concertgebouw were built; in this same time, the Industrial Revolution reached the city. The Amsterdam-Rhine Canal was dug to give Amsterdam a direct connection to the Rhine, and the North Sea Canal was dug to give the port a shorter connection to the North Sea. Both projects dramatically improved commerce with the rest of Europe and the world. In 1906, Joseph Conrad gave a brief description of Amsterdam as seen from the seaside, in The Mirror of the Sea.
Shortly before the First World War, the city began expanding, and new suburbs were built. Even though the Netherlands remained neutral in this war, Amsterdam suffered a food shortage, and heating fuel became scarce. The shortages sparked riots in which several people were killed. These riots are known as the Aardappeloproer (Potato rebellion). People started looting stores and warehouses in order to get supplies, mainly food.
Germany invaded the Netherlands on 10 May 1940 and took control of the country. Some Amsterdam citizens sheltered Jews, thereby exposing themselves and their families to the high risk of being imprisoned or sent to concentration camps. More than 100,000 Dutch Jews were deported to Nazi concentration camps of which some 60.000 lived in Amsterdam. Perhaps the most famous deportee was the young Jewish girl Anne Frank, who died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. At the end of the Second World War, communication with the rest of the country broke down, and food and fuel became scarce. Many citizens traveled to the countryside to forage. Dogs, cats, raw sugar beets, and Tulip bulbs—cooked to a pulp—were consumed to stay alive. Most of the trees in Amsterdam were cut down for fuel, and all the wood was taken from the apartments of deported Jews.
The (reconstructed) bookcase that covered the entrance to the "Secret Annex" where Anne Frank hid from Germans occupying Amsterdam during World War II.
Many new suburbs, such as Osdorp, Slotervaart, Slotermeer, and Geuzenveld, were built in the years after the Second World War These suburbs contained many public parks and wide, open spaces, and the new buildings provided improved housing conditions with larger and brighter rooms, gardens, and balconies. Because of the war and other incidents of the 20th century, almost the entire city centre had fallen into disrepair. As society was changing, politicians and other influential figures made plans to redesign large parts of it. There was an increasing demand for office buildings and new roads as the automobile became available to most common people. A metro started operating in 1977 between the new suburb of Bijlmer and the centre of Amsterdam. Further plans were to build a new highway above the metro to connect the Central Station and city centre with other parts of the city.
The incorporated large-scale demolitions began in Amsterdam's formerly Jewish neighbourhood. Smaller streets, such as the Jodenbreestraat, were widened and saw almost all of their houses demolished. During the destruction's peak, the Nieuwmarktrellen (Nieuwmarkt riots) broke out, where people expressed their fury about the demolition caused by the restructuring of the city.
As a result, the demolition was stopped, and the highway was never built, with only the metro being finished. Only a few streets remained widened. The new city hall was built on the almost completely demolished Waterlooplein. Meanwhile, large private organisations, such as Stadsherstel Amsterdam, were founded with the aim of restoring the entire city centre. Although the success of this struggle is visible today, efforts for further restoration are still ongoing The entire city centre has reattained its former splendor and, as a whole, is now a protected area. Many of its buildings have become monuments, and in July 2010 the Grachtengordel (Herengracht, Keizersgracht, and Prinsengracht) was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List

My men and I have gotten some news over the radio, that reports some Krauts have taken over the town south of our location and said they are heading our way and they left the town in ashes.
When I gave the news to my men they became smug and were sure that they would kick those krauts back to Berlin. They were sure since they got supplies at 0600. My men are dug in and ready for those krauts, and whatever they got

In 1893, Leeds gained city status, which brought an increased desire amongst members of the corporation to build civic buildings that befitted this status. The area around the market was made up of abattoirs and slums making it appear less than salubrious. A design competition was held to find an architect capable of designing an opulent new hall to the front of the market. A prize of £150 was set for the winner, which (following allegations of corruption in the competition) was awarded to Joseph and John Leeming of London. Despite misgivings about the award of the design, the plans went ahead and the corporation budgeted £80,000 for building the new hall. J Bagshaw and Sons of Batley were chosen as engineers for the project.
Further controversy was generated when, in May 1901, many traders within the markets were given one week's notice to vacate their stalls so that work on the new hall could commence. Traders demanded compensation for loss of trade, fixtures and fittings.
The new hall opened in 1904, costing £116,700, somewhat more than the original budget of £80,000. A ceremony in July of that year conducted by Mr G. W. Balfour, MP for Leeds Central and President of the Board of Trade, marked the new hall's opening.
