I watched this Tropical Kingbird flitting back and forth in front of our chairs this morning. It put on quite a show. Don't know if it was looking for something to eat? 2023-10-31, Royal Haciendas, Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

After the rain. We had a short rainstorm in the late afternoon. It left the tiles glistening. 2023-10-31, Royal Haciendas, Playa del Carmen, Mexico.

Looking back at 1920's Manchester

Check out these stunning pictures of Manchester back in the 1920's and take a look into the life of a city we have never known. The Manchester Evening News delved into their archives and have reproduced these remarkable images, which illustrate an era before the Hacienda and catchphrases such as "Madchester".

As the MEN writes; "In Manchester the '20s saw the rebuilding of the Royal Exchange, Britain's first greyhound track operating at Belle Vue, and Wythenshawe Aerodrome open for temporary use as Britain's first municipal airport."

"The first half experienced a renewed optimism and a boom in prosperity following the horrors of the First World War: the second - mass unemployment and deprivation as an economic blight crippled the industrial heartlands in the north of England and Wales during the latter half of the decade."

If you find the MEN's pictures interesting, then you might wish to visit Manchester's People's History Museum and the Manchester Jewish Museum, which both capture periods during the 1920's in some of their exhibitions. The Working Class Movement Library in Salford also have some archives from the era which people may find of equal interest.

I love snorkelling at the Royal Haciendas. There is a small reef that is a 15 minute swim from the shore. No one seems to know about it and I am usually out there on my own. It feels like my private aquarium.

[lboogie1906]

Gaspar Yanga—often simply Yanga or Nyanga (May 14, 1545 - 1618) known as the Primer Libertador de America or “first liberator of the Americas,” He led one of colonial Mexico’s first successful enslaved uprisings and would go on to establish one of the Americas earliest free Black settlements.

He was of royal lineage from West Africa, he was an enslaved worker in the sugarcane plantations of Veracruz. In 1570 he, along with a group of followers, escaped, fled to the mountainous regions near Córdoba, and established a settlement of former slaves or palenque. Taking the role of spiritual and military leader, he structured the agricultural community in an ordered capacity, allowing its growth and occupation of various locations.

He and his band, known as cimarrónes, were implicated in the disruption and looting of trade goods along the Camino Real between Veracruz and Mexico City. They were held responsible for attacking nearby haciendas and kidnapping indigenous women. Perceived as dangerous to the colonial system of slavery through their daring actions against royal commerce and authority, New Spain’s viceroy called for the annihilation of Yanga’s palenque. Destroying the community and its leader would send a message to other would-be rebellious slaves that Spain’s authority over them was absolute.

In 1609, Spanish authorities sent a well-armed militia to defeat him and his palenque but were defeated. His surprise victory over the Spanish heightened the confidence of his warriors and the frustration in Mexico City.

After defeating other Spanish forces sent again the palenque, He offered to make peace but with eleven conditions, the most important being recognition of the freedom of all of the Palenque’s residents before 1608, acknowledgment of the settlement as a legal entity which he and his descendants would govern, and the prohibition of any Spanish in the community. He promised to serve and pay tribute to the Spanish crown. After years of negotiations, in 1618, the town of San Lorenzo de Los Negros was recognized by Spanish authorities as a free Black settlement. It would be referred to as Yanga, named after its founder. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Manchester: A Fusion of Heritage, Culture, and Weather

Nestled in the heart of England, Manchester stands as a vibrant testament to resilience, innovation, and diversity. With a rich tapestry of history, a thriving cultural scene, and its ever-changing weather, this city has captivated the world's imagination for centuries.

A Glimpse into History:

Manchester's story is one of transformation. Originally a Roman settlement known as Mamucium, its history can be traced back over two millennia. However, it was during the Industrial Revolution that Manchester truly came into its own. The city became a powerhouse of cotton production, earning it the moniker "Cottonopolis." The legacy of this industrial boom is still visible in its iconic red-brick warehouses and mills, now repurposed into trendy apartments, offices, and cultural spaces.

Culture and Creativity:

Manchester's cultural scene is as diverse as its population. From world-class museums like the Manchester Museum and the Whitworth Art Gallery to cutting-edge contemporary art spaces like the Manchester Art Gallery, the city offers a wealth of artistic experiences. The Bridgewater Hall and the Royal Exchange Theatre showcase performances ranging from classical music to avant-garde theater, while the legendary nightlife scene, epitomized by venues like the Hacienda and the Warehouse Project, has made Manchester a mecca for music lovers.

The city's literary heritage is equally impressive, with renowned authors such as Elizabeth Gaskell, Anthony Burgess, and Carol Ann Duffy calling Manchester home. The University of Manchester's John Rylands Library houses rare manuscripts and literary treasures, attracting scholars and book lovers from around the globe.

Weather:

Manchester's weather is famously unpredictable, with locals often joking that you can experience all four seasons in a single day. Situated in the northwest of England, the city is subject to the whims of the Atlantic weather systems, resulting in mild, damp winters and cool, breezy summers. Rain is a common occurrence throughout the year, contributing to the lush greenery that blankets the surrounding countryside.

While the weather may be changeable, it hasn't dampened the city's spirit. Mancunians are known for their resilience in the face of adversity, a trait that has been tested time and again, from the industrial hardships of the past to more recent challenges.

Looking to the Future:

As Manchester continues to evolve, it remains committed to preserving its heritage while embracing innovation and progress. The city's skyline is constantly evolving, with ambitious architectural projects like the Beetham Tower and the upcoming St. Michael's development reshaping its silhouette.

Moreover, Manchester's reputation as a hub for science and technology continues to grow, fueled by institutions like the University of Manchester and the Manchester Science Park. The city's thriving digital and creative industries are attracting talent from around the world, cementing its status as a global powerhouse of innovation.

Conclusion:

Manchester's history, culture, and weather are woven together to create a city unlike any other. From its industrial roots to its vibrant cultural scene, from its unpredictable skies to its unwavering spirit, Manchester embodies the essence of resilience, creativity, and diversity. As it looks to the future, the city remains a beacon of inspiration and possibility, inviting visitors to explore its past, engage with its present, and imagine what lies ahead.
