A city is a large and permanent human settlement. Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town in general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law.
Cities generally have complex systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process, but it also presents challenges to managing urban growth.
A big city or metropolis usually has associated suburbs and exurbs. Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban areas, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban centers for employment. Once a city expands far enough to reach another city, this region can be deemed a conurbation or megalopolis. In terms of population, the largest city proper is Shanghai, while the fastest-growing is Dubai.
There is not enough evidence to assert what conditions gave rise to the first cities. Some theorists have speculated on what they consider suitable pre-conditions and basic mechanisms that might have been important driving forces.
There are 281 municipalities in the U.S. state of Washington. State law determines the various powers its municipalities have.
Legally, a city in Washington can be described primarily by its class. There are five classes of cities in Washington:
First class cities are cities with a population over 10,000 at the time of reorganization and operating under a home rule charter. They are permitted to perform any function specifically granted them by Title 35 RCW (Revised Code of Washington). Among them are Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver, and Yakima.
Second class cities are cities with a population over 1,500 at the time of reorganization and operating without a home rule charter. Like first class cities, they are permitted to perform any function specifically granted them by Title 35 RCW. Among them are Port Orchard, Wapato, and Colville.
Towns are municipalities with a population of under 1,500 at the time of reorganization. Towns are not authorized to operate under a charter. Like the previously listed cities, they are permitted to perform any function specifically granted them by Title 35 RCW. Among them are Steilacoom, Friday Harbor, Eatonville, and Waterville. In 1994, the legislature made 1,500 the minimum population required to incorporate.
Texas has a total of 254 counties, many cities, and numerous special districts, the most common of which is the independent school district.
Texas has a total of 254 counties, by far the largest number of counties of any state.
Each county is run by a five-member Commissioners' Court consisting of four commissioners elected from single-member districts (called commissioner precincts) and a county judge elected at-large. The county judge does not have authority to veto a decision of the commissioners court; the judge votes along with the commissioners (being the tie-breaker in close calls). In smaller counties, the county judge actually does perform judicial duties, but in larger counties the judge's role is limited to serving on the commissioners court and certifying elections. Certain officials, such as the sheriff and tax collector, are elected separately by the voters, but the commissioners court determines their office budgets, and sets overall county policy. All county elections are partisan, and commissioner precincts are redistricted after each ten year Census both to equalize the voting power in each and in consideration of the political party preferences of the voters in each.
The Steamboat Pirate was an early American expeditionary supply vessel that sank on the Missouri River near what is now Bellevue, Nebraska in April 1839 after snagging. The sinking of the steamboat was witnessed by Pierre-Jean De Smet and lamented by Joseph N. Nicollet, who was depending on its supplies for his expedition. The Pirate was also carrying American Fur Company supplies for Potawatomi Indians displaced from the east, including a village led by Billy Caldwell. De Smet later mapped the location of the wreck.
The Eurofighter Typhoon is a twin-engine, canard-delta wing, multirole fighter. The Typhoon was designed and is manufactured by a consortium of three companies; Alenia Aermacchi, Airbus Group and BAE Systems, who conduct the majority of affairs dealing with the project through a joint holding company, Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH, which was formed in 1986. The project is managed by the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency, which also acts as the prime customer.
Development of the aircraft effectively began in 1983 with the Future European Fighter Aircraft programme, a multinational collaborative effort between the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. Because of disagreements over design authority and operational requirements, France left the consortium to develop the Dassault Rafale independently instead. A technology demonstration aircraft, the British Aerospace EAP, first took flight on 6 August 1986; the first prototype of the finalised Eurofighter made its first flight on 27 March 1994. The name of the aircraft, Typhoon, was formally adopted in September 1998; the first production contracts were signed that same year.

breite seite psycho trip / psycho beat auf psycho weed
hyper psycho aktiv/ exclusiv aus der Kopfnickerpsychatrie
mit Kopfnicker TNT/ geflasht auf pp/ außer Kontrolle
grün wie kiwi bullenkolone/ rot wie meine pupille
auf blombe/ die bombe/ eine silbe und ich tille
für zwei auf drei promille/ pro person contra profile
spielen vabanque spiele/ die kranke version
ohne gefühle/ high ohne ziele/ für meine brüder eine liebe
sag mir wie viele/ pro tüte/ sind im falschen land geboren
haben den verstand verloren/ pro blüte
ohne verstand verloren/ 77/ 76/ geboren
mütter auf hippie drogen/ wir auf hippie drogen
wir auf hip hop/ ganz oben/ in strophen/ blitzkrieg episoden
wer mitzieht ist verloren/ weed überdosen
verschiedene sorten/ alle verboten
doch nach belieben zu smoken/ kein gesetz kann uns stoppen
kein radar orten/ meine kehle bleibt trocken
auf paras voll auf posten/ in der nähe läuten glocken
atem stocken/ amen für ein groschen
alle pforten verschlossen/ bis auf die knochen erschrocken
kein blut vergossen/ kein puto getroffen
bekifft und besoffen/ du eingeschlossen
bekifft und besoffen/ du eingeschlossen
dicht seit wochen/ bleibt nichts zu hoffen
alles bleibt offen/ alles bleibt offen
Refrain (2mal):
Ihr stellt regeln auf/ scheiß drauf
wir brechen sie/ high wie hydro
wir reden laut/ breite seite yo
ihr kontrolliert uns nie
2.Strophe
was ist echt was erfunden/ ich hörte die zeit heilt wunden
wie viele runden bin ich unten/ high für 24 stunden
von denen 12 betrunken/ meist im infight an 2 fronten
der geist ist frei/ das leid in alk ertrunken
geteiltes leid zum teil geheilt/ zur zeit verpeilt im dunkeln
gelangweilt hör sie munkeln/ sie vermuten wir verstummen
sind morgen verschwunden/ illusionen der dummen
alle erlogen und erstunken/ bin auf drogen muss mich wundern
flashbacks für sekunden/ ich bin bereit mein scheiss zu bunkern
in portionen abgewogen/ und bereits zu pacs gebunden
5 unzen für stammkunden/ raps für randgruppen
bullenmucken hände zucken/ shit ich muss den kanten schlucken
fast spucken/ hier tanzen mörderpuppen/ gepanzerte truppen
in verlangsamten zeitlupen/ keine zeit zurückzuspulen
in verschiedenen zeitstufen/ bist du bereit zu bluten
meist high das leid zu rufen/ wenn die guten die bösen suchen
auf meinen spuren durchs buisness/ ich setz zeichen wie thc im pisstest
was ist jetzt/ regeln gelten nur befristet
mann für mann wir leben high/ gramm für gramm wir leben frei
brechen mit dem scheiss/ ich komm live
Refrain (3mal):
Ihr stellt regeln auf/ scheiss drauf
wir brechen sie/ high wie hydro
wir reden laut/ breite seite yo
ihr kontrolliert uns nie
