Utrecht (/ˈjuːtrɛkt/; Dutch pronunciation: [ˈytrɛxt]) is the capital and most populous city in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is located in the eastern corner of the Randstad conurbation and is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands with a population of 330,772 in 2014.
Utrecht's ancient city centre features many buildings and structures several dating as far back as the High Middle Ages. It has been the religious centre of the Netherlands since the 8th century. It lost the status of prince-bishopric but remains the main religious center in the country. Utrecht was the most important city in the Netherlands until the Dutch Golden Age, when it was succeeded by Amsterdam as the country's cultural centre and most populous city.
Utrecht is host to Utrecht University, the largest university in the Netherlands, as well as several other institutes for higher education. Due to its central position within the country, it is an important transport hub for both rail and road transport. It has the second highest number of cultural events in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. In 2012, Lonely Planet included Utrecht in the top 10 of the world’s unsung places.
Lonely Planet is the largest travel guide book publisher in the world. The company is owned by American billionaire Brad Kelley's NC2 Media, which bought it in 2013 from BBC Worldwide for US$77 million (the equivalent of £45.5 million in May 2014) after it was valued at US$250 million in 2008.
Originally called "Lonely Planet Publications", the company changed its name to "Lonely Planet" in July 2009 to reflect its broad travel industry coverage and an emphasis on digital products. After the Let's Go travel guide series that was founded in 1960, the Lonely Planet books were the second series of travel books aimed at backpackers and other low-cost travellers. As of 2011, the company had sold 120 million books since inception and by early 2014, it had sold around 11 million units of its travel apps.
As of 2014, Lonely Planet's largest office is located in Footscray, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, but its Franklin, Tennessee, United States (U.S.) office is the company's de facto headquarters. Other Lonely Planet offices are spread throughout the world, in locations such as London, United Kingdom (U.K.); Beijing, China; and Delhi, India.

Scoreverloop: 17. Van Overeem 1-0, 32. Ayoub 2-0 (e.d.), 65. Weghorst 3-0.
Going into the game 3-0 down it looked like Utrecht had no chance, and yet they pulled off a spectacular comeback, winning 3-0 in standard time and then 4-3 on penalties to book their place in the Europa League for next season.

Más vídeos y todos los programas en http://www.telemadrid.es/mxm Durante la Edad Media fue la ciudad más importante del país, el gran centro religioso de Europa y tuvo una influencia trascendental en la historia de España. Visitamos Utrecht, una ciudad de canales, castillos, parques y leyendas donde hemos encontrado madrileños encantados de vivir en una bella y cómoda urbe, para muchos, la gran desconocida de Holanda. Paseamos con Cinthia por el casco antiguo de la ciudad, y nos recuerda que los canales se remontan a tiempos de la dominación romana. Cuando hace buen tiempo, y es el caso, la ciudad resucita y las calles se llenan de música y terrazas. Nos acercamos al Lapjesmarkt (Mercadao de las telas), que se monta cada sábado desde el siglo XVII, y al tradicional Mercado de flores. To...

watergate
scenery twisted
as i slip off the back of the rock
that's so hard to hold on to
and what a day you left me
you went through the back door
you knew there was no hope
and i wish you were back there
to see what's going on
and i wish you could be here
to see what's going on
watergate
serious twist it
as i stab at the back weave of thread
form fabric of existence
and what a way
you let be
you went through the black door
and i wish you were back there
to see what's going on
and i wish you could be here
to see what's going on
