Kafr Latah (, also spelled Kafar Latha or Kfarlatha) is a village in northern Syria, administratively part of the Idlib Governorate, located south of Idlib. It is situated on the southern edge of a narrow valley. Nearby localities include Ariha immediately to the northwest, Maarbalit to the northeast, Sarja and Shinan to the south, al-Rami to the southwest and Urum al-Jawz to the west. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics, Kafr Latah had a population of 4,231 in the 2004 census. The residents mostly work in agriculture built their houses in the village out of concrete. Prior to the ongoing Syrian Civil War, Kafr Latah was experiencing a measure of prosperity.

History
In 1110, the Crusader prince Tancred of Galilee conquered Kafr Latah from the Assassins (also known as Ismailis.) In the 1220s, during Ayyubid rule, Syrian geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi described Kafr Latah as "a town with a Friday mosque on the slopes of Jabal Amilah, in the Halab [Aleppo] District and a day's distance from this last city. It has gardens and running water." He also noted that its inhabitants were Ismailis.

In the early 19th century, Kafr Latah was visited by Swiss traveler Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. He noted that the village consisted of 40-50 well-built houses of square-shaped rocks that had been collected from older ruins located on the site. The village belonged to the prominent Aleppo-based family of Ibn Ziaf. The rocky area immediately around Kafr Latah contained remains that "deserved notice, on account of the vast quantity of stone coffins and sepulchers." The remaining cultivable land was used by residents to plant barley, corn and fruit trees.

In the early 20th century, Kafr Latah was noted for being surrounded by numerous burial grounds to the east and west of the village and other archaeological features. Among these sites was a domed monument supported by four columns located in a valley just north of the village. The monument was built over a spring.

Syrian Civil War
On 15 May 2013, the Syrian Army shelled Kafr Latah with artillery. According to the Associated Press, as of October 2013 Kafr Latah was being continuously shelled by Syrian Army mortars, as it was a frontline town used by rebel fighters as a base from which they travelled to the nearby frontline to shoot at government soldiers with AK-47 rifles along a vital highway. With the exception of a handful of opposition rebels and their families, the town was largely deserted. Around two weeks prior to the AP's visit to the town, an estimated 10,000 people were living Kafr Latah, but virtually all had fled the town and are currently refugees.

On 1 June 2015, the Syrian Air Force targeted rebel forces in the town with airstrikes. On 16 June 2016, airstrikes damaged residential housing in the town. On 1 April 2018, a Syrian Air Force plane fired a missile damaging a building in the town.

Flyy Girl is young adult/new adult literature and an urban fiction book written by Omar Tyree. The book was originally published by Mars Productions in 1993 and republished by Simon & Schuster for adults in 1996. The novel is regarded to be the genesis of the modern urban-fiction/street-lit movement that would later gain momentum in 1999 with the publication of Sister Souljah's The Coldest Winter Ever.

Summary
Flyy Girl is African-American coming-of-age story that follows Tracy Ellison from her sixth-birthday party in 1977 to her 17th birthday. Tracy grows up in the middle-class Philadelphia suburb of Germantown. The daughter of a dietitian and pharmacist, Tracy is beautiful, intelligent, and armed with self-esteem and a sassy mouth. Tracy is also boy crazy, which leads to sex in the indulgent, hip-hop 1980s and the effects of the cocaine economy plaguing black communities.

Sequels 
Tyree wrote two sequels to Flyy Girl: For the Love of Money (2001) and Boss Lady (2006). Both were published by Simon & Schuster.

Film adaptation 
In July 2013, Lionsgate Entertainment's CodeBlack Films had acquired the rights to Flyy Girl with hopes of transforming the novel into a feature film. In February 2015, CodeBlack Films announced that Dear White People producer Effie Brown was hired to produce a film adaptation of the novel. Brown and her company, Duly Noted Inc., will oversee the film's development alongside Codeblack Films' Jeff Clanagan and Quincy Newell.

On June 17, 2015, it was announced that Sanaa Lathan would star in and executive produce the film adaptation of Omar Tyree's trilogy that starts with Flyy Girl. Lathan will portray Tracy Ellison, a successful businesswoman and workaholic who believes that money is always the key to happiness. Geoffrey S. Fletcher was hired to write the script.

Remedios Montero Martínez (Beamud Mountains, Cuenca 1927 – Valencia, October 24, 2010), or, as she is commonly known, “Celia”, was a significant guerrilla who fought against the ideals of Franco. Celia was one of the few Spanish guerrilla fighters in the Spanish Civil War, and she was close friends with the great Florián Garcia Velasco, leader of the Guerrilla Group of Levante and Aragón. Her life has provided inspiration for the film “Memories of a Guerrilla,” which also served as the basis for Dulce Chacón to write her novel “The Sleeping Voice,” which later was made into a movie of the same title by director Benito Zambrano.

Biography 
First years and Spanish Civil War

Remedios Montero “Celia” joined the Guerrilla Group of Levante and Aragón when she was just a teenager. The Civil Guard discovered which revolutionary group she was a part of, and she subsequently escaped to the mountains before she was arrested. It was there that she adopted the name “Celia” and became a maqui.

Celia lost her father and her brother in the Spanish Civil War. Her brother was killed in an ambush by Civil Guards who posed as anti-Fascist guerrillas. The tragic passing of her father and brother was painful for Celia, as she tells in the memories of her book.

Maqui Period and Exile

Celia's first period of exile began at the end of the Civil War, when she escaped to the mountains and joined the maquis. She stayed there with other guerrilla fighters from 1949 until 1952. It was around this time when she met her future husband Florián García “El Grande."

Six years later, the guerrilla fighters were ordered to withdraw from France. Celia abandoned the mountains and went back into exile, this time to Paris, where she continued to fight for Spain's freedom.

Return to Spain

Celia returned to Spain for a clandestine mission of the Communist Party. She was discovered by the Civil Guard in Salamanca and was moved as a detainee to Madrid, where she was cruelly tortured and imprisoned. Her injuries from these beatings were so severe that it later prevented her from having children. She spent eight years in prison, where she received false news that her close friend Florián had died.

Reunited in Prague

When Celia was released from prison, she returned to exile. She managed to obtain a fake passport and fled to France before traveling to Prague for an official mission. It was there that she was  reunited with Florián. This was an emotional reunion for both Celia and Florián because both thought that the other had died after spending roughly 8 years apart. The two were soon married in Prague.

Final Return to Spain

In 1978, after the death of Franco during the embryonic transition, Celia and Florián returned to Spain and settled down in Valencia.

On October 24 of 2010, Celia died, just one year after the passing of her great friend and husband.

The Michigan Iron Industry Museum, a branch facility of the Michigan Historical Center, is a community museum serving the heritage of the Marquette Iron Range on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The museum is located in Negaunee, a town built atop the geological strata of the iron range near Marquette. Until recently, Negaunee was a one-industry town that centered on the mining of iron ore. The Negaunee region served as the center of U.S. iron ore production from about 1880 until approximately 1900, when this role was taken over by iron mines on Minnesota's Mesabi Iron Range. The Michigan Iron Industry Museum opened in 1987 close to the Carp River Forge site on the Carp River where Michigan iron ore was first forged in 1848.

Admission to the museum is free, and the museum is open year-round. The museum also serves as the focal point for the Iron Ore Heritage Trail, a  bicycle and hiking trail that presents a look at some of the key sites of human and geological heritage on the Marquette Iron Range.

The 2012 season was Dundalk's fourth successive season in the League of Ireland Premier Division following promotion in 2008. All together, it was the club's 86th season in League of Ireland football. The club was managed by Sean McCaffrey, who was in his first season in charge. The club also competed in the FAI Cup, League of Ireland Cup and the Leinster Senior Cup. Dundalk finished the 33-round season in 11th position, requiring them to play a promotion/relegation play-off against Waterford United of the First Division; a tie which they won on aggregate, thus retaining their place in the Premier Division for the 2013 season. Results against Monaghan United F.C. were expunged, after they withdrew from the League mid-season.

The club spent the season battling financial problems, which threatened to put the club of business altogether. Manager Sean McCaffrey resigned in July with the club rooted to the bottom of the table and financial losses mounting. He was replaced by his assistant, Darius Kierans, in a caretaker role. The club's owner, Gerry Matthews put the club up for sale, and with the assistance of a Supporters Trust, it was taken over by local businessmen Andy Connolly and Paul Brown (owners of the team's official sponsors, Fastfix) before the end of the season.

The Burns Howff was a Rock and Blues music venue in Glasgow. It was located at 56 West Regent Street in the city centre and established a reputation as the launch pad for many Scottish musicians.

Burns Howff resident bands included Power, that later changed name to Stone the Crows. This band featured Maggie Bell on vocals, and James Dewar on bass guitar. James Dewar, known as Jimmy Dewar later formed The Robin Trower Band with ex Procol Harum guitarist Robin Trower and drummer Reg Isadore.

It was in Burns Howff that Alex Harvey met with the musicians who were to become the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

Other bands who played at Burns Howff included Beggars Opera, Chou Pahrot, and the illustrious 'Foxy', a talented 3-piece featuring Brian Denniston (guitar), Jimmy Johnston (Bass) and Nod Kerr (Drums).

The Shard a 5 piece R&B and soul band played frequently at the Howff for about 3 years in the late 60's. Jimmy McLachlan lead guitar, Tommy Graham bass, Bill Samson on Drums, Joe McCann Keyboards and Jim Robertson vocals were the longest serving members of the band.

Shortly before the ‘HOWFF’ closed a recording studio was installed called STUDIO In the upstairs lounge. This was a rather modest affair that was housed in what was essentially a walk in cupboard. The studio was popular with local bands, and clients included Johnny and the Self Abusers who were playing regularly at another Glasgow music pub called The Mars Bar, that featured mainly Punk acts. Johnny and the Self Abusers split up and its members went on to form The Cuban Heels and Simple Minds.
With the bands playing in the upstairs lounge there was a resident DJ in the bar area from 1973 onwards. This was called The Pony Express where rock music was played to the bar customers and also transmitted into the upstairs lounge while the band had their break. DJ Gordon Elrick also ran theme nights including the popular Tuesday Club where regulars dressed up and mimed to old standards. This made the Howff one of the busiest pubs in the area on a usually quiet Tuesday night.

Burns Howff finally closed in 1984.

The RAF M2 "Stils" was designed by Rīgas Autobusu Fabrika in 1994. It was designed to replace the aging RAF-2203 and offer a new modern vehicle to the newly opened market after collapse of Soviet Union. Only 2 prototypes were ever produced (one minivan, one ambulance) until bankruptcy of Rīgas Autobusu Fabrika in 1998. Both prototypes were lost after the bankruptcy but were found and shown to public in 2011.

Rīgas Autobusu Fabrika developed 2 concept models to replace the RAF-2203, the 1st concept being the RAF M1 'Roksana' and 2nd the RAF M2 'Stils' which was chosen as successor of RAF-2203, but start of mass production failed, hopes for small production failed soon after due lack of parts, budget and manpower.

This minivan used modernized version of ZMZ-406 4 cylinder, 2,3 liter gasoline engine. It used hydropneumatic suspension, much like some Citroën vehicles. The design was produced together with Russian NAMI (automotive institute). The minivan version could have seated 12 people and reach speed up to 170 km/h. Ambulance version could have seated 4 with 1 patient bed. Unlike the RAF 2203 or the prototype RAF M1 'Roksana', RAF M2 'Stils' was front-wheel drive.
