Banner o Romanie
History an significance o the colors
Frae 1859 till 1866, the Unitit Principalities o Wallachie an Moldavie haed a reid-yellae-blue Romanian tricolour, wi horizontal stripes, as the naitional banner. The banner wis describit properly in Almanahul român din 1866: “a tricolour flag, dividit in three stripes, red, yellae an blue an laid oot horizontally: red abuin, blue belaw an yellae in the middle”. Awtho the Ottoman Empire did no allou the Unitit Principalities tae hae thair awn seembols, the new banner gained a degree o internaitional recognition. Relatin prince Cuza’s Mey–Juin 1864 journey tae Constantinople, doctor Carol Davila observed: “The Romanian flag wis raised on the great mast, the Sultan’s kayaks awaitit us, the guard wis airmed, the Grand Vizier at the door… The Prince, quiet, dignified, concise in his speech, spent 20 minutes wi the Sultan, who then came tae review us… Ance again, the Grand Vizier led the Prince tae the main gate an we returned tae the Europe Palace, the Romanian flag still flutterin on the mast…”.
Airticle 124 o the 1866 Constitution o Romanie providit that “the colors o the Unitit Principalities will be Blue, Yellae an Red”. The order an placement o the colors wur decidit bi the Assembly o Deputies in its session o 26 Mairch 1867. Thus, follaein a proposal bi Nicolae Golescu, thay wur placed juist as in 1848: vertically an in the follaeing order: blue hoist, yellae in the middle an reid flee. The kintra’s coat o airms wis placed anerlie on airmy an princely flags, in the center; ceevilian flags remained athoot a coat o airms. The same distinction wis made atween flags o the Navy an those o the ceevil an merchant ships.
The rapporteur Mihail Kogălniceanu, who an aa conveyed the opinion o Cezar Bolliac, Dimitrie Brătianu, Constantin Grigorescu, Ion Leca, Nicolae Golescu an Gheorghe Grigore Cantacuzino, said: “The tricolour flag as it is the day is no (as the meenister claims) the flag o the United Principalities. It is muckle mair: it is itsel the flag o the Romanian naition in aw lands inhabitit bi Romanians”.
The “Law for modifyin the kintra’s airms” o 11/23 Mairch 1872 did no chynge these provisions, anerlie the design o the coat o airms. This design o the naitional banner lastit till 1948.
On 30 December 1947, Romania wis proclaimed a fowkrepublic an aw the ex-kinrick’s seembols wur ootlawed, includin the coat o airms an the tricolour flags that showed it. Durin the communist era in Romanie, the state banner haed the emblem o the kintra in the middle o the yellae stripe, an for the first time the 2:3 proportion wis regulatit bi law. Till 1989, nae less nor fower coat o airms wur chynged.
Stairtin on 17 December 1989, durin the revolution at Timişoara, the coat o airms o the Romanian Socialist Republic began tae be ripped aff the flags, bein perceived as a seembol o Nicolae Ceauşescu’s dictatorial regime. These flags wur cried “the flag wi the hole”.
Decree-Law no. 2 o 27 December 1989 regardin the membership, organization an functionin o the Cooncil o the Naitional Salvation Front an o the territorial cooncils o the Naitional Salvation Front. providit at airticle 1, amang ither matters, that “the naitional flag is the traditional tricolour o Romanie, wi the colors laid oot vertically, in the follaein order, stairtin frae the flagpole: blue, yellae, red”.

The wettest time o year is the hairst wi aboot 81 millimetres (3.2 in) o rain each November.
History
The oreegins o Campobasso are disputit. Accordin tae the maist widely held theory, the ceety wis foondit bi the Lombards afore the 8t century as a fortifee'd camp on the slope o the hill whaur the castle staunds. The oreeginal name wis Campus vassorum, suggestin that the ceety wis the seat o the vassals o the Duke o Spoleto.
Efter the Norman conquest o Soothren Italy, Campobasso lost its importance as a defensive stranghauld, but became a significant tradin an admeenistration centre.
Frae 1330 tae 1745 the ceety wis ruled bi the Monforte-Gambatesa faimily, who biggit the castle an established a mint. Later it came unner the control o the Di Capua, Gonzaga, Vitagliano, Carafa an Romano families.
In 1763 the ceetizens abandoned the auld ceety an settled in the lawer valley. The current ceety wis expandit in 1814 bi the Keeng o Naples Joachim Murat, an lies on the Campo Basso ("Low field").
Campobasso wis the scene o hivy fechtin durin the Seicont Warld War.

1970's an 1980's
Arguably his maist important an widely recognised film wis tae follae in 1970. Entitled The Shadow of Progress an sponsored bi BP, the film wis an early example o the environmental movement. The film exposed the consequences o industrialisation, particularly wi regard tae pollution, though comin prior tae the identification o global warmin, its focus is mair on the visual impact an damage tae wild-life an the lived environment. Ower 1,900 copies o the film wur printit an circulated in a number o leids an the film wis twice shown bi the BBC on prime time.
In 1972, he made Tide o Traffic unner BP sponsorship, pairt o a planned three pairt series (The Shadow of Progress, Tide of Traffic an a scriptit but niver made film on the issues creatit bi population growth). Tide of Traffic wis aboot the impact o the caur particularly in terms o its damage tae the urban environment. The film received an Oscar nomination an a Venice Golden Mercury.
In 1973 he made Scotland, a film sponsored bi BP an focused on the history an cultur o Scotland. His last film for Greenpark wis made the follaein year. A Heritage To Build On, released in 1975, wis sponsored bi the Cement and Concrete Association. He wrote the script for The End of the Road (1976) aboot Alaska, which went on tae receive an Oscar nomination.
Bi nou the Breetish documentary industry wis in rapid decline wi the growin strength o telly an the dwindlin availability o industrial sponsorship, particularly follaein the 1973 oil shock. Housomeivver, in his last significant budget film, The Shetland Experience (1977), Williams wirked unner the sponsorship o the Sullom Voe Association tae record the history, nature an cultur o the Shetlands as the oil began tae come ashore tae the terminal built at Sullom Voe. The film wis Oscar nominatit an Williams wis able tae attend the Oscar ceremony in Los Angeles for the anerlie time.

Laitin Americans
Laitin Americans (latinoamericano, latino-americano) are the citizens o the Laitin American kintras an dependencies. Laitin American kintras are multi-ethnic, hame tae fowk o different ethnic an naitional backgrunds. As a result, some Latin Americans daena tak thair naitionality as an ethnicity, but identifee thairsels wi baith thair naitionality an thair ancestral oreegins. Aside frae the indigenous Amerindian (aka Native American) population, aw Laitin Americans or thair ancestors immigratit athin the past five centuries.
The specific ethnic an/or racial composition varies frae kintra tae kintra: mony hae a predominance o European-Amerindian, or Mestizo, population; in ithers, Amerindians are a majority; some are maistly inhabitit bi fowk o European ancestry; an ithers are primarily Mulatto. Various Black, Asie, an Zambo (mixed Black an Amerindian) minorities are identifee'd in maist kintras an aw. White Laitin Americans are the lairgest single group. Thegither wi the fowk o pairt-European ancestry thay combine for approximately 80% o the population, or even mair.
Definition
Laitin Americae (América Latina or Latinoamérica; América Latina; Amérique latine) is the region o the Americas whaur Romance leids (i.e., thae derivit frae Laitin—pairticularly Spaingie an Portuguese, an variably French—are primarily spoken.
It includes mair nor 20 naitions: Mexico in North Americae; Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica an Panama in Central Americae; Colombie, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivie, Chile, Paraguay, Brazil, Argentinae an Uruguay in Sooth Americae; Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, an Puerto Rico in the Caribbean—in summar, Hispanic Americae, Brazil, an Haiti.
If we consider this definition strictly, we shoud consider Canadae an in pairticular Quebec as pairt o Laitin Americae. The raison ahint this is that Canadae haes French as ane o its offeecial leids alangside wi Inglis, an in pairticular Quebec is the anerlie Canadian province wi a predominantly French-speakin population an the anerlie ane whose sole offeecial leid is French at the provincial level. But this region is rarely considered sae, syne its history, distinctive cultur an economy, an Breetish-inspired poleetical institutions are generally deemit too closely intertwined wi the rest o Canadae.
Laitin Americae, tharefore, can be defined as aw thae pairts o the Americas that wur ance pairt o the French, Spaingie, or Portuguese Empires.

Salé
Salé (Berber: Sla / Sala, سلا; frae the Berber wird asla, meanin "rock") is a ceety in north wast o Morocco. It is an aa the auldest ceety in the Atlantic coast, as it wis foondit bi the Phoenicians an wis kent back then as Sala (modren challah); it wis completit syne then frae the ither side o the river o bou regreg bi the Banu Ifren dynasty. During the 17t century, Rabat wis kent as New Salé, or Salé la neuve (in French) which explains Salé as the auldest ceety on the river. The day it is hame tae approximately 800,000 fowk, maistly impoverished factory wirkers. It wis ance a sel-contained, sel-ruled Republic wi internaitional scope, situatit on the mooth o the Bou Regreg river on the Atlantic coast. The ceety's name is whiles transliteratit as Salli or Sallee. The Naitional Route 6 connects it tae Fes an Meknes in the east, eventually leadin tae Maghnia, Algerie.

Salé
History
In Pirate Utopias, Peter Lamborn Wilson says: "Salé... dates back at least to Carthaginian times (around 7th century BC). The Romans called the place Sala Colonia, part of their province of Mauritania Tingitane. Pliny the Elder mentions it (as a desert town infested with elephants!). The Vandals captured the area in the 5th century AD and left behind a number of blonde, blue-eyed Berbers. The Arabs (7th century) kept the old name and believed it derived from "Sala" (sic., his name is actually Salah), son of Ham, son of Noah; they said that Salé was the first city ever built by the Berbers."
Republic o Salè
In the 17t century, Salé became a haven for Moriscos-turned-Barbary pirates. Salé pirates (the well-kent "Salè Rovers") roamed the seas as far as the shores o the Americas, bringin back luit an slaves. Thay formed the Republic o Salè. Thare is an American faimily, van Salee, descendit frae a Salé Rover, Jan Janszoon.
The ceety o Salé wis bombardit bi the French Admiral Isaac de Razilly on 20 Julie 1629 wi a fleet componed o the ships Licorne, Saint-Louis, Griffon, Catherine, Hambourg, Sainte-Anne, Saint-Jean. He bombardit the ceety an destroyed 3 corsair ships.
Politics
Salé haes acquired its title o nobility durin the French protectorate. Durin the decades precedin unthirldom o Morocco, the ceety wis the stranghauld o naitional resistance movements. The caw tae "latif" launcht in Sale, relayed in the main ceeties o Morocco, an the petition against the Berber Dahir gien tae Sultan Mohammed V an Resident General o Fraunce will lead tae the athdrawal o the Dahir o Mey 1930, collectit bi intellectuals o the time as an attempt tae divide the Moroccan fowk. This text haes led toae the first reaction Moroccan naitionalist elites against the occupier an devotit thair will tae resist. Mony admit nou that this episode wis the foondin act o poleetical awareness that wad lead fowerteen years later the signin o the Manifest o Unthirldom 11 Januar 1944 bi mony "Slaoui". Salé haes an aa been deemed tae hae been the stranghauld o the Moroccan left for mony decades, whaur mony leaders hae residit.
Cultur
Salé haes played a rich an important pairt in Moroccan history. The first demonstrations for unthirldom against the French, for example, spairked aff in Salé. A guid nummer o govrenment offeecials, decision makers an ryal advisers o Morocco wur born in Salé. Salé fowk, the Slawis, hae aaways haed a "tribal" sense o belangin, a sense o pride that developed intae a feelin o superiority towards the "berranis", i.e. Ootsiders.
Modren ceety
Modren Salé is a heichlie pollutit, badly planned, rapidly expandin toun acause o rural exodus. The ceety is nou a lairge "dormitory toun" wi little community life, devoid o a "centre" o its awn. Most o its influential an wealthy indwallers hae depairtit tae live in Rabat on the ither side o the river. Pheesical remnants o Salé's historical heritage are totally decrepit, pollution is prevalent an insecurity is heich. Housomeivver, baith its geographical situation an its "meltin pot" aspect mak it a toun wi a lot o potential that sae far remains untapped bi the local authorities. Recent developments, includin the new brig connectin tae Rabat, a new Sale-Rabat tram seestem, marina an coastal development, aw shaw that this is chyngin wi the govrenment an private development companies sic as Emaar Properties pourin money intae the aurie.
Water supply an wastewater collection in Salé wis irregular, wi poorer an illegal hoosin units sufferin the heichest costs an maist acute scarcities. Muckle o the ceety uised tae rely upon communal staundpipes, which wis aften shut doun, deprivin some neighbourhuids o safe drinkin water for indefinite periods o time. Housomeiver, Salé fared better nor inland Moroccan locations, whaur water scarcity is even mair acute. Recent improvements frae the govrenment, local business's an Redal haes meant that this situation haes improved drastically in recent times. Heich un-employment uised tae be a serious issue tae the Sale aurie wi mony textile factorys bein locatit in this aurie bein the anerlie real soorce o wirk, this is recently diversin intae ither auries sic as internaitional caw centres, electronics an recently a new "techno pairk" wis opened, which wis modeled on the Casablanca techno centre success.
Sport
The A.S.S. is the fitbaa club o the ceety, an the preses is Abderrahmane Chokri.
Popular cultur
The film Black Hawk Down wis partially filmed in Salé, in parteecular the wide angle aerial shots wi helicopters flyin doun the coastline.
