"LONDON" (Original text in Spanish)
The magic surrounding the city again
where the sun rises not by his thick fog
always a temperate oceanic climate and
and with that Thames dragging my dreams
when it rises the Tower Bridge
to give way in a minute to boats.
On the north bank of the river raised the Royal Palace
since the time of William the Conqueror
instead converted quintessential multicultural
you can find in any of the streets
with people of different races and cultures
walking at a pace that is marking the Big Ben.
With Shakespeare's language to communicate
its people nothing to do with the unstable weather
are friendly and offer hand predisposed to
although the city lives in a very high rate
being the only place where kindness reward
caught me and gave me shelter Greater London.
In spanish
La magia envuelve una vez más la ciudad
donde no sale el Sol por su espesa niebla
siempre con tu clima oceánico y templado
y con ese Támesis que arrastra mis sueños
cuando se va elevando ese Tower Bridge
para dar paso en un minuto a los barcos.
A la ribera norte del río alzado el Palacio Real
desde tiempos de Guillermo el Conquistador
convertida en lugar multicultural por excelencia
puedes encontrarte en cualquiera de sus calles
con gentes de diferentes razas y culturas
caminando al ritmo que va marcando el Big Ben.
Con el idioma de Shakespeare para comunicarse
sus gentes nada que ver con su inestable tiempo
son amables y predispuestas a ofrecerte la mano
aunque la ciudad vive en un ritmo muy acelerado
siendo el único lugar donde premian la amabilidad
me atrapaste y me diste cobijo gran Londres.

You are obliged to publish texts of a legal, and not a newspaper in the conventional sense, and does not cover aspects of general and has a very limitada.Fue founded during the English Restoration by Henry Muddiman, who had begun his career as a journalist during the interregnum. and was appointed editor of the Intelligencer Parlamentary, the official organ of the Long Parliament. In 1666, Muddiman launched the Oxford Gazette, offering a selection of news about the Royal Court, then a refugee in Oxford to escape the Great Plague of London. Once the cut was reinstalled in the Palacio of Whitehall was created the London Gazette. Although Henry Muddiman publications are the first general reports of the country, they still have little to do with modern newspapers: the manuscripts written by the journalist, in fact, were mailed to subscribers, without there being any print for sale the general public. For that it was necessary to wait at The Athenian Mercury.
Currently, the London Gazette is published every day except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

Hymn of London.
ANTHEM AND FLAG OF ENGLAND - ANTHEM AND FLAG OF ENGLAND
The words and music of the anthem of England come from ancient poems and music of the seventeenth century. In 1745 publicly sang a patriotic song God Save the King and was recognized as the National Anthem of England at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The author is anonymous.The version that is used to explain its origin is the fact that when Charles Edward Stuart arrived in Scotland in 1745 to restore the throne of his father, took up arms to supporters of the Catholic King James. Shouting For King James and not to union around Edinburgh beat the army of King George II. When the news reached London that had expired in Prestonpans, the band director of the Theatre Royal did a musical called God save the King and interpreted to finish the concert.Because of its success, the number was repeated night after night. This interpretation became trendy and whenever the king entered into a public place was greeted with that song. So the phenomenon spread to other theaters and the public.Over the years they were adding new verses, which are sung rarely.------------------

God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen!
O lord God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their knavish tricks,
Confuse their politics,
On you our hopes we fix,
God save the Queen!
Not in this land alone,
But be God's mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over.
From every latent foe,
From the assasins blow,
God save the Queen!
O'er her thine arm extend,
For Britain's sake defend,
Our mother, prince, and friend,
God save the Queen!
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour,
Long may she reign!
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

British Invasion.
BRITISH INVASION OF THE SILVER RIVER (1806/1807).The year of 1805 means one of the strongest defeats to France and to its ally Spain. Great Britain defeat both countries in the naval battle of Trafalgar. France will no longer be able to compete for sea control, while for Spain means a strong military defeat adds to the internal crisis of the monarchy, which began already noted from the beginning of the reign of Charles IV in 1788.After Trafalgar, Britain decides to hit their allies in possessions which are remote from the centers of both Spain and France, and in this case a British vessel bound for South Africa to take possession of that place, aware of Trafalgar success, and understanding their commander that: given what was discussed in the British cabinet that the Rio de la Plata would be a place that could be taken into account in case of a conflict with Spain, without consulting the Cabinet to consider it unnecessary, directs these vessels to the region, opting for the port of Montevideo.This port is the one that is better positioned for the arrival of ships Buenos Aires. And 1806 is the year that will mean for the Rio de la Plata, decision making, resulting from the arrival of Commander William Carr Beresford to Montevideo. When subsequently landed in Buenos Aires, it is clear that Spain, the metropolis has not allocated resources for defense. In part, the fear of the metropolis to create significant military forces in different places Overseas, had led to this kind of situation. There was no regular army, an army of line. At the same time warns (while it does Beresford), that both the Cabildo, as senior judges, and various ecclesiastical dignitaries, rush to swear allegiance to the king of Great Britain.Title: BRITISH INVASION OF THE SILVER RIVER (1806/1807).

Green roofs.
The eye-catching plants and flowers not only transform dirty roofs of the buildings but also create habitat for birds and insects. These gardens are very positive for the environment because they help to reduce noise pollution and also release oxygen into the atmosphere.

Vikings.
The Vikings in England.
For two hundred and fifty years ago, the Vikings were protagonists of the history of England, first as plunderers of towns, later as warlords who litigated the Saxon royal family for control of the island, and finally as the English kings
At the end of the eighth century, while Charlemagne created a vast empire in Europe, England was divided into seven kingdoms emerged from Saxons, Angles and Jutes, who invaded peoples Britain when the Roman Empire was declining. Of these stood the florecientre Saxon kingdom of Wessex, to the point that their monarchs believed the British sovereign. Their kings moved north, occupying even the Anglo kingdom of Northumbria, whose inhabitants' wept for his lost freedom "for them convinced that the story was over. But it was not.
In 787, according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, three ships docked off the coast of Wessex and from them came a group of fighting men from across the North Sea. The wicingas called, "thieves of the sea ', ie Vikings, a name that perfectly identified as engaged in pillaging and looting amid cruel rituals. They returned five years later, in 793, but now the coast of Northumbria, where they plundered the prestigious monastery of Lindisfarne, and a year later did the same with that of Jarrow. In the decade of 870, most of England north of the Thames and was subject to the Vikings. But had not happened the most memorable events of this story.
These began in the winter of 878, when the Vikings finally interned in the kingdom of Wessex, a decision that forced the Saxon King Alfred to flee into a swamp. It was a critical moment in which Wessex was on the verge of collapse. The kingdom lasted through military and political intelligence of the king, a thousand years later earned him the admiration of Voltaire: "I do not think there has ever been in the world a man worthy of respect of posterity that Alfred the Great." The monarch drove the Vikings from their lands and founded cities.
