Piazza Del Duomo Italy Night View ( Video )
Piazza del Duomo ("Cathedral Square") is the main piazza (city square) of Milan, Italy. It is named after, and dominated by, theMilan Cathedral (the Duomo). The piazza marks the center of the city, both in a geographic sense and because of its importance from an artistic, cultural, and social point of view. Rectangular in shape, with an overall area of 17.000 m2 (about 183.000 Sq Ft), the piazza includes some of the most important buildings of Milan (and Italy in general), as well some of the most prestigious commercial activities, and it is by far the foremost tourist attraction of the city.
While the piazza was originally created in the 14th century and has been gradually developing ever since (along with the Duomo, that took about 6 centuries to complete), its overall plan, in its current form, is largely due to architect Giuseppe Mengoni, and dates back to the second half of the 19th century. The monumental buildings that mark its sides, with the main exception of the Duomo itself and the Royal Palace, were introduced by Mengoni's design; the most notable of Mengoni's addition to the piazza is the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II arcade.
Himni Shqiptar ne Little Italy Manhattan New York City
Himni i Flamurit is the national anthem of Albania. The words were written by the Albanian poet Asdreni (Aleksandër Stavre Drenova) but are merely different from the original Romanian lyrics which Andrei Barseanu wrote for Porumbescu's piece. The hymn was first published as a poem in Liri e Shqipërisë (in English: Freedom of Albania), an Albanian newspaper in Sofia, Bulgaria, on April 21, 1912. It was later printed in a volume of poems by Drenova titled Ëndra e lotë (in English: Dreams and tears), which was published in Bucharest.
The music of the anthem was composed by the Romanian composer Ciprian Porumbescu, originally for the song "Pe-al nostru steag e scris Unire" (or "E scris pe tricolor unire").
Lyrics and translation
There are two versions of the anthem: a long and a short one. Below is the text for the long version. The second stanza is considered as refrain and is repeated at the end. The short version makes use of the first two stanzas only and repeats the last two verses of the 2nd stanza. Usually, in sportive events among national teams, the short version is the one officially used. (The original poem has three more stanzas that are not part of the anthem – which are added at the end.)
Albanian Lyrics
1.Rreth flamurit të përbashkuar
Me një dëshir' e një qëllim,
Të gjith' atij duke iu betuar
Të lidhim besën për shpëtim.
2.Prej lufte veç ai largohet
Që është lindur tradhëtar,
Kush është burrë nuk frikësohet,
Po vdes, po vdes si një dëshmor!
3.Në dorë armët do t'i mbajmë,
Të mbrojmë atdheun në çdo kënd,
Të drejtat tona ne s'i ndajmë;
Këtu armiqtë s'kanë vënd!
4.Se Zoti vetë e tha me gojë
Që kombe shuhen përmbi dhé,
Po Shqipëria do të rrojë;
Për të, për të luftojmë ne!
5.O Flamur, flamur, shenj' e shenjtë
tek ti betohemi këtu
për Shqipërinë, atdheun e shtrenjtë,
për nder' edhe lavdimn e tu.
6.Trim burrë quhet dhe nderohet
atdheut kush iu bë therror.
Përjetë ai do të kujtohet
mbi dhe, nën dhe si një shenjtor!
English Translation
1.Around our flag we stand united,
With one wish and one goal,
A sacred oath we bestow upon it
Proclaiming loyalty for our salvation.
From war abstains only he,
Who a traitor is born,
He who is a true man is not frightened,
But dies a martyr to the cause.
With weapons in our hands a-brandished,
We will defend our fatherland,
Our sacred rights we’ll not relinquish,
The foe has no place in our land
For God himself proclaimed:
The nations of the earth shall wane,
And yet will live, will thrive Albania.
For her our fight won’t be in vain.
O Flag, flag, you sacred symbol
upon you we now swear
for Albania, our dear fatherland
for honour and your commends
Brave man is named and honoured
the one who sacrificed himself for the fatherland
Forever he will be remembered
on earth and under as a saint!

Kruja City Albania ,Mount View
Krujë (Definite Albanian form: Kruja) is a town in north
central Albania and the capital of the municipality and the Krujë
District. It has a population of about 15,900. Located between Mount
Krujë and the Ishëm River, the city is only 20 km from the capital of
Albania, Tirana.
Inhabited by the Illyrian tribe of the Albani, in 1190 Krujë became the
capital of the first autonomous Albanian state in the middle ages,
thePrincipality of Arbër. Later it was the capital of the Kingdom of
Albania, while in the early 15th century Krujë was conquered by
the Ottoman Empire, but then recaptured in 1443 by Skanderbeg, leader of
the League of Lezhë, who successfully defended it against three Ottoman
sieges until his death in 1468.
The Ottomans took control of the town after the fourth siege in 1478,
and incorporated it in their territories. A 1906 local revolt against
the Ottoman Empire was followed by the 1912 Declaration of Independence
of Albania. In the mid-1910s Krujë was one of the battlefields of the
conflict between the short-lived Republic of Central Albania, founded
by Essad Toptani, and the Principality of Albania. In 1914 Toptani
managed to seize the town but during the same year it was reincorporated
by Prênk Bibë Doda in the Principality of Albania. During WWII was the
center of the activities of resistance leader Abaz Kupi.
The museums of Krujë include the Skanderbeg museum, located in the
environs of the Krujë castle, and the national ethnographic museum.
Apple iPhone 5 Hammer Drop and Knife Scratch Test
In this video, I take the iPhone 5 from my drop test and see how much
more damage it can take. I scratch the screen and anodized back with my
keys, a knife, and then drop a hammer on iPhone 5's screen several
times.
