Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 28 miles (45 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 165,521. It is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,012,331 people at the 2015 census.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961 African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962 a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

SWAT team on a man hunt after a man was shot and killed during a robbery outside US Bank on Oxnard Blvd and Vineyard at 9:30 AM Saturday morning.
I was wondering why the bird feeder was going empty so fast, until I saw this. I finally got my camera back after sending it away to have the shutter replaced. I was without it for approximately 1 month.
While Rockstar is out doing pizza deliveries on the scooter. Mara and her employee Hector are back at the City Pizza when suddenly two men, both clothed in black step in side.
The men appear to be Don and noD, two criminals who are also identical twin brothers, who serve Mr. Pink as low class henchmen.
They dress the same and think like a hive mind adressing themselves as We.
They tend to finish of each other sentences and feel the same pain.
They also wear matching gauntlets that shoot electrical charges.
One of them, while pointing his gauntlet at Mara's face, treatning to shoot her, demands that she gives them all of her earnings as a "protection fee" so that she and her family will be under the protection of Mr. Pink and his criminal organisation.
Mara knows that this protection fee is nothing more than a bunch of lies as Mr. Pink's henchmen will continue to come back and demand more money until one day you simply disappear or worse...
She fears for Hector as he is clearly overcome by fear and wants to flee the scene.
Knowing her little son Danny is upstairs playing, she reluctantly shows them the safe where all of her life earnings are kept...
The south walls of Chenies Manor House are mostly without windows. It's believed that this was due to avoidance of increases in window tax - known at the time as "daylight robbery".
It all started off with a bank robbery on August 3rd 2018. Professionals, minimal evidence, nobody injured other than a broken nose, and then they dissapeared like ghosts. Suddenly we start hearing whispers that there's a terror cell that's been activated somewhere in the US. We were vigilant but somehow they slipped through the cracks. A bombing at a coffee shop in New Jersey, less than three hundred miles from the bank robbery. Only an eight hour drive, coincidence? Pennsylvania one week later, a gunman kills 32 at a mall, wounds another 46, escapes through an underground service tunnel. Now no doubt about it, all three events had to be linked. We worked overtime, little sleep, chasing leads, pulling in every favor the company earned on the east coast. We had mobsters, gang bangers, cops, private citizens, all looking, feeding us info. Whispers, rumors, sightings, anything they could to stay on our good side. Finally we got a break. Someone trying to purchase a batch of grenades off a motorcycle club in Brooklyn.
The leaves were starting to turn colors. It was warm in the sun and cool in the shade. An Oktoberfest block party was happening. The next target as far as we could see. We were quick, silent. Moving through the sewers. The entire cell committed to this one final devastating blow on the American psyche, then back into hiding or into the afterlife. We found them prepping in the storm channel. Sewage rushing around us, a party above, the sound of music penetrating through the grates. Nobody topside would have ever heard the sounds of our shots. Sub-guns tearing into the darkness, blood and water mixing, brass echoing off concrete. Another cell eliminated, unfortunately only a moment too late. We vowed to work harder,longer, be more vigilant. We couldn't let it happen again. It already weighed on us that this cell got so far before we caught them.

Ληστεία.
Disbelief κυκλώνα διαταραγμένη σήψη σε διαταραχές δικό του,
αγωνίες τρίποδο σκηνικά μελοδράματα,
Οι δυσμενείς επιφυλάξεις που πρέπει να πληρώσει;
Οι ερεθισμοί πέρα γύπες πικρία του προσεύχονται πάνω,
όπως ζηλεύει δυνάμεις γκριμάτσα σχετικά με την ατιμωρησία των ωδές,
με γνώμονα τύψεις ερήμωση κατηγορηματική διαδρομές,
ως οχλήσεις σύμπαν κατέχει το θρόνο ηθικής,
αν και οι ρίζες κακία εξάπλωση,
η απερίγραπτη απελπισία πρέπει να επισκευαστεί,
ως εκ τούτου, ζοφερά frowns μεταφράσει mulishly αμφιβολίες,
μελαγχολία δηλωτικό που πάσχουν πάροδο του κακού αλίμονο αξιώματα,
διάβολοι παραποιούν έγγραφα σχετικά δυσδιάκριτη χρόνους των μειονοτήτων,
κατάρρευση μεταφράσεις την τσέπη άδεια ως ιατρείο θερμαίνει,
κηλίδα αίματος καταστροφή θέματα κατηγορώντας μήπως λόγο;
Αμείωτη τιμωρίες ματαιοδοξία ντροπή των αθλιότητες επίθεσης,
ακατανόητα γεγονότα θεωρίες ανησυχώ σκουλήκια,
διπλωμάτες αποστολές βάρβαρη βία κατάχρηση βαθιά στην καρδιά,
αισθήματα ληστεία ανάλυση που λαμβάνονται από έμμεσους καταιγίδα!
