In 1956, Nzima left Heiningham to work at the Savoy Hotel as a waiter. At the Savoy, he met and befriended a man named Patrick Rikotso, another worker there. Rikotso taught him more about photography and Nzima would take domestic workers' portraits, selling them on the workers' day off. After leaving the Savoy, he went to Chelsea Hotel, reading the Rand Daily newspaper. He was transfixed by the stories criticising the apartheid government from late (dead) award-winning journalist Allister Sparks and started sending his own pictures and photo essays to the Black newspaper The World.
The World was so impressed by Nzima's work that he was offered a freelance position. In 1968, he was offered a full-time position and accepted it to work for The World in 1976. He turned to the skirmishes (short fights between small groups of people far from the main battlefield) flaring (very violent) and took photos of students holding bin lids as shields and throwing stones at police officers. He also took another photo of a black policeman holding the students at gunpoint during the uprising.
His most iconic image was of Makhubo carrying Pieterson with Sithole at the victim's side. Recognising that the photograph would expose apartheid, Nzima hid the film roll in his sock. When other officers found him still taking pictures, they forced him to open up all his cameras. All the films were exposed except for the one containing the famous image and the photos were destroyed. Only the famous image made it back to The World, where it was splashed across the front pages of international newspapers.
Nzima was later wanted by the apartheid police and accused for portraying South Africa in a bad light. He was forced to flee from Soweto, where his family lived, to his hometown of Lillydale. He opened the Nzima Bottle Store there and was offered several journalist jobs. However, he turned them all down out of fear of being killed by the apartheid police. Soon, a member from the Nelspruit security branch came to Nzima and told him they knew what he had done. He was warned that he was not allowed to leave his home for any reason and that he would be arrested if he did. He was checked every Friday for three months to see if he followed the rules.
After his photography career, Nzima continued to serve the people of his hometown. He was a long-serving member of Bushbuckridge municipal council and the Bohabela District council. After years of fighting for the rights to his photograph of Pieterson and Makhubo, he was finally rewarded in 1998 when The Star newspaper gave him copyright. He later taught photography to young students in Bushbuckridge.
Nzima died on 12 May 2018 at the age of 83 at Rob Ferreira Hospital in Nelspruit after a short illness. His photo was listed by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential images of all time. He is the recipient of the highest arts award in Africa, the Order of Ikhamanga. He was awarded the bronze prize for his photojournalism, helping expose apartheid to the rest of the world. The Tshwane University of Technology gave him an honorary doctoral degree in November 2020 and his family is building the Sam Nzima Legacy Centre in his honour. His son, Thulani Nzima, is the president of the Sam Nzima Foundation established in 2015.

2024 Noto earthquake
On 1 January 2024, at 16:10 JST (07:10 UTC), a 7.5 earthquake happened in the Noto Peninsula of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The earthquake caused a tsunami along the Sea of Japan. As of 28 February 2024, there were 241 deaths, 1,296 injuries and 5 others were missing, making it the deadliest earthquake in Japan since the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes.
The Japan Meteorological Agency officially named this earthquake the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
The northeastern tip of the Noto Peninsula in Japan has been experiencing many earthquakes for three years. The biggest one recently was stronger than another big earthquake that happened in May 2023. This was the largest earthquake in the Sea of Japan since 1983.
Japan is located where four big pieces of the Earth's crust (Pacific, Philippine Sea, Okhotsk, and Amurian Plates) meet. This causes a lot of earthquakes. On the east and southeast coasts, the Pacific and Philippine Sea Plates are moving under the land (a process called subduction) at two places: the Japan Trench and the Nankai Trough. The west coast, near the Sea of Japan, is also where two plates meet, and they are slowly starting to move under each other, creating faults.
This area has been geologically active for a very long time, since the end of the Pliocene era. Earthquakes and tsunamis happen here because of the plates moving against each other. There have been big earthquakes and tsunamis in the past in 1741, 1833, 1940, 1964, 1983, and 1993. But, it's not completely clear what caused the 1741 tsunami.
A big earthquake happened, and it was not very deep under the ground. This earthquake happened where two big pieces of the Earth's crust, the Okhotsk Plate and Amurian Plate, are pushing against each other. The earthquake was caused by these plates squeezing and sliding in opposite directions.
Before the main big earthquake, there was a smaller one, with an magnitude of 5.5, and after it, there was another one, with an magnitude of 6.2, along with several other smaller earthquakes.
The area affected by the earthquake was about 200 kilometers long, stretching from the Noto Peninsula to Sado Island. The earthquake caused the ground to shift a lot in some places, with the biggest shift being about 3.67 meters. This shifting probably reached all the way to the bottom of the sea.
The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan said that some areas of the country shifted about to the west. The largest displacement occurred in Wajima due to crustal deformation. In Anamizu, the land moved westward. However, the agency noted that these movements might be related to slopes or local ground changes instead.
The first tsunami waves hit around 16:21. Wajima got waves. Kanazawa saw , Toyama and Sakata got waves. Smaller waves hit other places like Nanao, Tsuruga, Kashiwazaki, Toyooka, Tobishima, and Sado Island. Toyama city had a wave. Hokkaido saw up to waves.
In Suzu, homes were moved, and boats were overturned. A resident saw tsunami waves moving cars and debris, reaching 3 meters (9.8 ft) high. The tsunami pushed water up to 100 meters (330 ft) inland at Iida Port in Ishikawa.
The tsunami warning was lowered to an advisory around 20:30 and ended by 10:01 on 2 January, 18 hours after the earthquake.
The Korea Meteorological Administration said that sea levels might rise along South Korea's east coast, including Gangwon Province and Pohang. They expected waves from 18:29 to 19:17 local time. Later, a tsunami hit Gangwon, and a wave struck Mukho around 20:00. Tsunamis of in Uljin, in Sokcho, and in Gangneung were also recorded. This was the first time since 1993 that South Korea saw a tsunami over . North Korea's state radio, reported by Yonhap News Agency, reported a tsunami warning, with possible waves.
In Russia, there were tsunami warnings, including Sakhalin Island's west coast, where evacuations were initially mentioned but later denied by Russia. Warnings were also in place for Vladivostok and Nakhodka. The Russian Emergencies Ministry said "response teams are ready to deal with the possible consequences of a tsunami". However, officials in Vladivostok said no tsunami happened, and in Nakhodka, the tsunami was almost unnoticed.
At least 241 peoples died in Ishikawa Prefecture; 103 in Suzu, 102 in Wajima, 20 in Anamizu, eight in Noto, five in Nanao, two in Shika and one in Hakui. Fifteen people died in the aftermath due to injuries or illnesses. More than 80 percent of the deaths, because of collapsed homes. Two people were killed by the tsunami. At least 1,188 people were injured in Ishikawa Prefecture, and as of 7 March, five people is missing. National Police Agency said that 92 peoples were crushed to death, 49 died of suffocation or respiratory failure, 32 died from hypothermia, and three died of burns.
The earthquake caused buildings to collapse in Ishikawa Prefecture. Around 36,000 homes lost power. A fire broke out in Wajima, and damaged roads made it hard for firefighters to stop it. Some people got stuck in collapsed homes but were eventually rescued. In Toyama Prefecture, roads cracked, and water pipes broke in Himi and Oyabe. In Niigata Prefecture, two people were injured, and there was liquefaction (when gas turns to liquid), causing sewer pipes to break and leaving many homes without water.
The earthquake caused serious harm to people and the economy. Nomura Securities predicted a drop in Japan's economic growth due to the earthquake, with a potential loss of 23 to 50 billion yen. This is mainly because cities like Suzu, Wajima, and Nanao might see a halt in their economic activities. NHK warned that the financial losses could increase since damages to roads, houses, and factories haven't been fully considered yet. The effect on supply chains might not be as bad as it was in the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes.
By 5 January, around 24,000 buildings in Ishikawa Prefecture were still without electricity. The Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry, Ken Saito, said it's hard to tell when the power will be completely back.

West Papua is a province of Indonesia. It is on the New Guinea island and has many peninsulas and islands. Manokwari is the main city. Around 561,403 people lived there in mid-2022, making it the second least populous province in Indonesia after Southwest Papua.
The Dutch were in New Guinea until 1962. Then, control went to Indonesia. West Papua officially became a province in 1999 and was inaugurated in 2003. Until 2022, it had special status with twelve regencies and one city.
West Papua has a medium Human Development Index, second-lowest in Indonesia. The government is building things like roads and airports. Some worry this might harm rainforests and native cultures. According to Bank Indonesia, West Papua's economy grew by 7.7% in 2018, which is more than the national average.
People have lived in West Papua for a very long time, like 42,000 to 48,000 years. The highlands were a center for farming, and they've grown bananas here for 7,000 years. Austronesian people moved here 3,000 years ago. There are over 300 languages in West Papua.
A Chinese merchant came around 500 AD and called it Tungki. In 600 AD, the Srivijaya Empire from Sumatra called it Janggi. Traders from Persia and South Asia came in 700 AD and called it Dwi Panta or Samudrananta, meaning 'at the edge of the ocean'. In 1511, a Portuguese sailor called it "Os Papuas" or llha de Papo. In 1600, it was called Nueva Guinea by a Spanish explorer.
In 1606, a Dutch expedition led by Wiliam Jansen landed in Papua. By 1660, the Dutch recognized the Sultan of Tidore's power over New Guinea. During the Indonesian National Awakening, some nationalists were in a camp in Papua. After Indonesia declared independence in 1945, they claimed West Papua.
In 1962, there was an agreement that temporarily gave control to Indonesia. In 1969, there was a vote called the Act of Free Choice. The result made West Papua part of Indonesia, but many disagreed. They formed the Free Papua Movement, and the independence movement continues today.
In 2022, parts of West Papua became a new province called Southwest Papua.
West Papua has different tribes, with 51.48% being native Papuan people. They include Abun, Biak, Borai, and many more. There are two main groups: mountainous or inland Papuans and lowland and coastal Papuans. Many follow traditional Papuan religions, uniting material and spiritual aspects of life.
The rest of the population comes from other parts of Indonesia. The people of West Papua follow various religions, with the majority being Protestant Christians (54.17%). There are also Muslims (36.74%), and Catholic Christians (8.71%). Manokwari is known as the "Gospel City" due to European missionaries settling there in 1855, celebrated as "Gospel Day".
In West Papua, many languages are spoken, but Indonesian is the official language, and Papuan Malay is used for trade and inter-ethnic communication. However, local languages are at risk of extinction due to economic, educational, and political challenges. Most transactions in markets use Indonesian, contributing to the decline of regional languages.

In a world where big monsters and humans coexist with each other, they have a sport called monster wrestling. Each city has its own monster wrestler. The champion from a small town named Stoker, Tentacular, decides he doesn't want to represent Stoker anymore after becoming the world champion. The town is in trouble because if they don't find a new wrestler, they'll lose their stadium and money.
Winnie, who loves wrestling, goes to an underground fight and finds Rayburn Jr., the son of the late Stoker champion. He's fighting under the name "Steve The Stupendous." Winnie helps Steve win a match instead of losing on purpose. Steve owes money to Lady Mayhen, the boss of the underground arena, but Winnie promises to help him get the money by training him to fight Tentacular. Steve agrees.
At first, Steve doesn't care about learning to fight properly and wins by avoiding his opponent. He left Stoker because people only saw him as his father's son, and he couldn't live up to his dad's name. Winnie discovers Steve loves dancing, so she trains him using dance moves. As they move up in the wrestling rankings, Tentacular buys Stoker's stadium and wants to demolish it because he's tired of being compared to Rayburn, Steve's dad.
Even though Steve repays Lady Mayhen, he decides to help Winnie. He reveals he's Rayburn's son and challenges Tentacular to a match for the stadium. During the fight, Steve dodges Tentacular's hits in the first round but struggles in the second. With Winnie's encouragement, Steve lands several hits with his dance moves in the third round. Winnie tells Steve to use Tentacular's suckers to stick him to a corner post. When Steve goes in for the final move, they both get knocked out.
Tentacular gets up first but is too shaken to end the match. The crowd helps Steve by clapping a salsa beat, and he defeats Tentacular, becoming the new monster wrestling champion. Stoker's stadium is saved, and monsters and humans continue to coexist.

Coco Bandicoot
Coco Bandicoot is a video game character and a secondary protagonist of the "Crash Bandicoot" series of video games. In the series, Coco is described as the highly-intelligent and spirited younger sister of Crash Bandicoot, the main protagonist of the series. She often aids her older brother by building gadgets ideal for the situation or even tagging along with Crash in his journeys, using self-taught martial arts to defend herself.
Coco was created by Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin, and was originally designed by Charles Zembillas. Coco's inclusion as a playable character in "Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex" was met with a generally lukewarm response among critics, while her voice has received mixed reviews. However, her inclusion as a playable character in "Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy" and "" was met with positive responses.
Coco's availability as a playable character in "" was omitted from the PlayStation 2 version of the game due to her distinct animations taking up much of the console's memory. In the PlayStation 2 version, she is replaced by a white-furred version of her brother named "Carbon Crash". Coco is voiced by Vicki Winters in "", by Hynden Walch in "Crash Team Racing" and by Debi Derryberry from "" onwards. In the Japanese version of the series, she is voiced by Haruna Ikezawa in the PlayStation games, by Ema Kogure in "Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex", "Crash Nitro Kart" and "Crash Twinsanity", by Satomi Arai in "Crash Tag Team Racing" and by Risa Tsubaki in "Crash Boom Bang!".
Just as her brother Crash was, Coco was genetically engineered through the use of Doctor Neo Cortex's and Doctor Nitrus Brio's Evolvo-Ray. Coco is notable for her high intelligence; her intelligence quotient is said to be as much as 164. Like her brother, Coco has a fearless nature and is willing to take any chance, unafraid of making mistakes. She is a fan of martial arts films and masculine sports such as wrestling and NASCAR. She is also shown to be a skilled scooter rider, using this talent to outrace a Japanese tsunami on one occasion.
Before the events of the series, Coco was an ordinary bandicoot until she was taken from the jungle and genetically enhanced by Doctor Neo Cortex. Coco is first seen in "Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back" living on N. Sanity Island with Crash. One day, when the battery for her laptop runs out, she sends Crash off to find a replacement battery for her. When Coco discovers that Crash is gathering Crystals for Cortex, she becomes suspicious of Cortex and decides to hack into Cortex's computer and see what he's really up to. What she finds are detailed schematics for an improved Cortex Vortex and a suspicious-looking space station. She learns of Cortex's real plan just as Crash has gathered all the Crystals, and reveals Cortex's intentions to Crash before he can give the Crystals to Cortex. After Cortex's plan is foiled, Coco is called upon by Aku Aku in "" to use Doctor Nefarious Tropy's Time-Twisting Machine and gather the powerful Crystals in their original places before Cortex does so. Coco helps by gathering the Crystals in 17th century China, the 18th century Pacific Ocean, and World War I Europe. She is also responsible for the defeat of Cortex's right-hand man Doctor N. Gin on the Moon, with her new pet tiger Pura assisting her.
When the Elementals wreak havoc on the Earth in "Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex", Coco activates a new Portal Chamber for Crash to use. She helps Crash gather the Power Crystals needed to stop the Elementals by collecting them in a tsunami-ravaged China and an avalanche zone. She also stops an armada of Cortex's space stations from striking Earth. Near the end, she helps Crash and Crunch escape from Cortex's malfunctioning space station. In "Crash Twinsanity", Coco is ambushed by Doctor Neo Cortex, who disguises himself as her in order to lure Crash into a trap. Many moments later, Coco believes that Cortex kidnapped Crash, and travels to the Iceberg Lab to confront him. With a swift kick, she attacks Cortex and sends the Power Crystals he was holding flying into the Psychetron. The resulting chain reaction leaves Coco paralyzed until the end of the game.
Coco is fully playable in "Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy" and "", but has the same moveset as Crash in both. Though, she comes with her own animations. Even though Coco first appears in "Cortex Strikes Back", the use of time travel from "Warped" allows her to be playable in all three games from the "N. Sane Trilogy".
Coco is a playable character in "Crash Team Racing" and "Crash Bash". The epilogue of "Crash Team Racing" states that Coco opened up her own Internet dating service after the events of the game. In "", Coco builds a device that reverses the effects of Cortex's Planetary Minimizer. In "", Coco is abducted by N. Trance and is brainwashed alongside Crunch and Fake Crash. Coco battles Crash in a large battleship inside an active volcano, with Crash attacking the craft while it is reloading its weaponry. Upon snapping out of N. Trance's control, Coco becomes a playable character, gathering two Crystals in space while escaping the wrath of a fireball created by N. Tropy. Coco is a playable character in "Crash Nitro Kart" as well. In one cutscene, she uses her hacking skills to put the hyperactive Nash to sleep. In "", Coco teams up with the Professor to track down Ripto and Doctor Cortex. Later in the game, they're both kidnapped by Doctor Cortex's niece, Nina Cortex, who keeps them locked up in cages. After being freed from her cage, Coco suggests that Crash and Spyro put a tracer on Cortex and Ripto as to allow the heroes to track the villains back to their hideout. Coco's last major contribution to the story is constructing a portal to Cortex's and Ripto's lair. Coco is a playable character in "Crash Tag Team Racing". In the game's story, Coco discovers the sole clue to whoever stole MotorWorld's Power Gems, which is Wumpa Whip. Because of Crash's high consumption of the beverage, she briefly believes (along with the others) that Crash is the culprit, despite the fact that Willie Wumpa Cheeks is the park's lone source of Wumpa Whip. At the end of the game, Coco returns the park's deed to Von Clutch, to whom it belongs. Coco plays a central role in "Crash Boom Bang!", in which she is invited by the Viscount to the World Cannonball Race in his search for the Super Big Power Crystal.
Coco has been featured in two series of "Crash Bandicoot" action figures produced by the now-defunct Resaurus. For "Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back", Resaurus produced a Coco Bandicoot figure bundled with figures of a penguin and lizard from the game. The "Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped" series featured two different figures of Coco, including one bundled with Aku Aku and Crash Bandicoot figures.
Coco's inclusion as a playable character in "Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex" was met with a generally lukewarm response among critics. Hilary Goldstein of IGN felt that Coco was a "less powerful" and "less enjoyable" character than Crash and that "she was just not fun the way Crash is". On the subject, Goldstein added that "Crash is a silly creature to look at. He's almost absurd, which works great with his various animations. Coco isn't really silly at all. The game isn't called "Crash and Coco" so why must I be forced to play her? Rather than add variety, Coco detracts from the only real selling point of the game -- Crash Bandicoot." Matt Gallant of GameSpot noted that "When you play a level as Coco instead of Crash, there's no explanation or warning given--you'll simply enter the level's portal as Crash and come out the other end as Coco. It's not all bad, but compared with "(Super Mario) Sunshine", it seems very uneven."
On the other hand, Coco's inclusion as a playable character in the "N. Sane Trilogy" and "Crash 4" was met with positive reception. Patrick Arellano at Comic Book Resources included her in a list of "5 Game Remakes That Added A New Character For The Better." Cubed3 writer Luke Hemming stated "...the ability to replay all levels as Coco Bandicoot, also add a welcome level of replayability in the linear first outing." Reviewing the "N. Sane Trilogy", Aiman Maulana from "New Straits Times" observed that she has the same moveset as Crash, to which he stated "What's the purpose of this? Well, this game is catered to casual gamers so the developers want to cater to a general audience. Having Coco Bandicoot as a playable character will encourage more female gamers to play." At "PlayStation Universe", Kevin R. considered the ability to play as Coco a "neat extra touch," but wished to see her with her own moveset. Denny Connolly at Game Rant stated "...swapping between characters should be a fun addition for fans of the original trilogy," due to the fact she has her own personality and animations in the game. Stacey Henley from "The Guardian" declared that Coco "adds a fresh dimension to the game," along with Cortex, Tawna and Dingodile in "Crash 4".
Coco's redesign in "Crash Bandicoot: One the Run" was met with criticism by Cristina Alexander from TheGamer; Alexander stated "Restoring Coco to her original design and making her look as unappealing as possible instead of using her Crash 4 design in a mobile endless runner game kind of defeats the purpose of rebooting the Crash Bandicoot franchise and updating their looks to keep up with the times." In another article from TheGamer, Mark Sammut described her as "awesome," and noted "Coco might not be the most layered character ever, but her consistent characterization in the early games clearly left an impression on many players." Sammut also stated that the use of smartphones and taking selfies "fits Coco's personality."
She was included among the "50 Greatest Heroines In Video Game History" by Complex's Michael Rogueau, whom cited her as a "cute sidekick." In 2016, Adam Starkey at "Metro" suggested a spin-off focusing on Coco, noting "The Bandicoots would certainly benefit from some franchise building outside of the main marsupial himself, with Coco being our prime candidate."

Internet bot
A web robot (or Internet bot) is a piece of software that automatically does tasks on the Internet, usually to copy the behaviors of a human on the internet. Web robots are used to do simple tasks faster then a human could do. Web robots are mostly used for web crawling, where a robot downloads the content from a website and looks through the content.
There have been attempts to restrict web robots from websites. Some websites have a robots.txt file to control what the web robots can or can not do. Any web robot that does not follow the rules can be prevented from accessing the website with the robots.txt file. However if there is no program to enforce the rules in the robots.txt file, then following the rules is a choice for the web robot. There are also web robots deemed as "good" such as search engine spiders, who crawl websites for use in search engines such as Google or Bing but there are also web robots deemed as "bad" such as web robots who attack political campaigns with the intent of causing harm to that political campaign.

Postpartum period
The postpartum (or postnatal) period begins after childbirth and lasts for six weeks after birth.
There are three phases of the postnatal period:
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that the postnatal period is the most critical and the most ignored phase in the lives of mothers and babies. Most maternal and newborn deaths happen during this period.
A woman giving birth may leave as soon as she is medically stable, which can be as early as a few hours postpartum. However the average for a vaginal birth is one to two days. The average caesarean section postnatal stay is three to four days. During this time, the mother is checked for bleeding, bowel and bladder function, and baby care. The infant's health is also checked.
Many organizations recommend routine postpartum evaluation at certain times in the postpartum period.
The delayed postpartum period starts after the subacute postpartum phase and lasts up to six months. During this time, muscles and connective tissue returns to a pre-pregnancy state. Recovery from childbirth problems such as urinary function are typically very slow and in some cases may not resolve. Symptoms of PTSD often disappear in this period. During this period, infant sleep during the night increases and maternal sleep usually improves.
During the subacute postpartum phase, psychological problems may show up such as postpartum depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and in rare cases, psychosis. Postpartum mental illness can affect both mothers and fathers, and is not uncommon.
Postpartum depression (PPD), also called postnatal depression, is a type of mood disorder that happens after childbirth, which can affect both sexes.
Symptoms may include extreme sadness, low energy, anxiety, crying episodes, and changes in sleeping or eating patterns. PPD can also negatively affect the newborn child.
While the exact cause of PPD is unknown, the cause is believed to be a combination of physical, emotional, genetic, and social factors. These may include factors such as hormonal changes and sleep problems. Risk factors include bipolar disorder, a family history of depression, psychological stress, problems during childbirth, lack of support, or a drug use disorder.
Diagnosis is based on a person's symptoms. While most women experience a short time of worry or unhappiness after delivery, postpartum depression should be seen when symptoms are severe and last over two weeks.
Among those at risk, giving psychosocial support could prevent PPD. This may include community support such as food, household chores, mother care, and friendship. Treatment for PPD may include counseling or medications. Types of counseling have been found to be useful in treating PPD.
Postpartum depression affects roughly 8.9-10.1% of women in high income countries and 17.8-19.7% of women in low and middle income countries. Postpartum depression commonly affects mothers who have had experienced stillbirth, live in urban areas, and are single mothers. This mood disorder is seen to affect 1% to 26% of new fathers.
Postpartum psychosis is a more severe form of postpartum mood disorder and happens in about 1 to 2 per 1,000 women following childbirth. Postpartum psychosis is one of the leading causes of murder of children less than one year of age. It happens in about 8 per 100,000 births in the United States.

Florida land boom of the 1920s
The Florida land boom of the 1920s was the first real estate bubble in Florida. It happened between 1924 to 1926. It attracted investors from all over the United States and around the world. It left behind new properties in Florida. Some of these properties were racially segregated for many years.
The main cities affected by this economic bubble were Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Hialeah, Miami Springs, Opa-locka, Miami Shores, and Hollywood, Florida. It also left behind failed projects such as Aladdin City, the original plan of Boca Raton, Chevelier, Fulford-by-the-Sea, Interocean City, Isola di Lolando, Okeelanta, Palm Beach Ocean, Poinciana, and Sun City.
The economic bubble made new cities. It ended in a financial collapse that ruined many investors and property owners. It made the local economy worse for many years after.
The economic growth in the 1920s, along with a lack of knowledge of weather conditions and bad building standards started it. People outside of the United States pictured Miami as a tropical paradise. More tourists began to visit Miami or immigrate to Miami.
By 1925, investors were beginning to read negative articles about Florida investments. "Forbes" magazine wrote that Florida land prices were based on no real land value. The Internal Revenue Service began to say that the economic bubble was as a big sham operation. In October 1925, the main railroad companies in Florida stopped sending many products to the state. Also in 1925, Florida began to pass laws to control real estate. One law was that salespeople had to have licenses and offices. This caused more demand for office spaces.
The city's image as a tropical paradise began to crumble. In May 1926, the boom was about to end. The 1926 Miami hurricane ended the boom, and the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane completely stopped it.
