So, what IS Pokemon Reborn: Rainbow?

I'm glad you asked, anon! I'll put the answer simple above the cut and explain it in better detail below. Me and @nommyzommy will have a deep dive about Reborn: Rainbow in a later post.

WARNING: THIS IS A VERY LONG POST! You can just stick to the summary if you're not in the mood to read an excerpt as long as the bible!!

Put simply:

Reborn: Rainbow (from here forth called RR in this post) is an AU that combines elements of the white and black routes. It also contains original characters and events, including PULSEs, storyline, and even two entire cities with their own geography!

In detail:

RR mixes our favorite elements from both routes and changes some of them a little more to our preferences. It also allows us more screentime for our favorite characters that were kinda overshadowed or just straight-up put on a bus during the game :P Like Florinia, Serra, and more.

It also has new PULSEs and lore for Eve and the subsect of Team Meteor that creates them. And new lore for Team Meteor in general. Lots of the Alcantaras' history and influence is central to the fanfic.

Now, to begin on the characters: We made new characters (that we'll begin posting soon) and new arcs and designs for our favs! (Those are the RRr designs you've been seeing across our posts.) A lot more characters get to know each other, and the theme of the fanfic is a little bit more,, positive? More friendly? I just like games that are more optimistic! :)

And we've made new plot points and storyline! Like great news for Heather, the deforestation of a lot of the region's routes, and the recurrence of characters that were supposedly gone forever... *cough cough, the Belrose parents and Zina Vanhanen*

We've even made brand new cities and geography for them, too!! (Again, we'll touch up on these in a later post with finished maps and fixed details. Like the Jade Jungle is supposed to be bigger, etc.) First is Aquamarine City on Turquoise Island!

The Turquoise Islands have a tropical climate and are located in the Azurine Lake just under Reborn City. The island and city, Aquamarine City, are largely based on Florida and California. It and Coral Ward are conneceted by a large bridge that crosses the Azurine Lake. The surrounding geography includes jungles, beaches, coves, and mountains! It also has a string of small uninhabited islands called the Scallop Isands and a world-renowned tourist attraction called Draconite Isle, which features a dangerous temple that reportedly withholds treasures!

Second is Flinthearth Town!

The climate in the Flint Forest is humid temperate with hot summers and cold winters. Being located just south of Spinel Town, the area and town draw inspiration mostly from Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Texas. Many trains connect it to other territories of the region, including Spinel. The geography of the area is comprised of forests, mountains, lakes, and terraces. Their greatest attractions are the annual Flinthearth Fair (mirroring the Lincoln County Fair among other county fairs) and the abandoned (and reportedly haunted!) Alabaster Castle!

Shout out to @nommyzommy for her wonderful artwork on the maps! Expect to see refined future references for the areas on her page!

Thank you so so so much for asking!!! We'll begin posting about RR more in future updates! It makes me so happy to answer questions like this! And sorry for the longass post :P

Thanks for the ask, and stay groovy! <3

Did Nathaniel Alexander invent the folding chair? Nathaniel Alexander Inventor of a Folding Chair - ThoughtCo On July 7 1911 an African-American man named Nathaniel Alexander of Lynchburg Virginia patented a folding chair. According to his patent Nathaniel Alexander designed his chair to be used in schools churches and other auditoriums. His design included a book rest that was usable for the person sitting in the seat behind and was ideal for church or choir use.​

Fast Facts: Nathaniel Alexander

Known For: African-American patent holder for a folding chair

Born: Unknown

Parents: Unknown

Died: Unknown

Published Works: Patent 997,108, filed March 10, 1911, and granted July 4 the same year

Patent 997108 is the only invention on record for Nathaniel Alexander, but on March 10, 1911, his application was witnessed by two people: James R.L. Diggs and C.A. Lindsay. James R.L. Diggs was a Baptist minister from Baltimore (born in 1865), who was a member of the Niagara Movement, and holder of an MA from Bucknell University and a PhD in Sociology from Illinois Wasleyan in 1906.

in fact, Diggs was the first African-American to hold a Sociology Ph.D. in the United States. The Niagara Movement was a Black civil rights movement led by W.E.B. DuBois and William Monroe Trotter, who assembled in Niagara Falls, Ontario (American hotels barred Blacks), to discuss Jim Crow laws following the Reconstruction.

 Folding chairs allow the space to be used for other purposes when there is not a class or church service.

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

OUR ANCESTORS ARE SAYING " NOW THAT IS A NEW MEANING TO THE SAYING HAVE A SEAT, WE SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT"

LITTLE DID NATHANIEL ALEXANDER REALIZE IN 1911 HIS INVENTION WOULD BE USE AS A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION THAT WOULD MAKE THE ANCESTORS PROUD.

HOW IRONIC IS THIS

" ANCESTRAL BEAT DOWN" TOOK PLACE AT THE MONTGOMERY DOCKS IN ALABAMA - THE RIVERBOAT IS CALL THE HARRIOTT AND THE DOCK WAS A SLAVE TRADING PORT.

The Harriott was a slave ship back in the 1700s. From 1798 to 1805, it carried thousands of slaves to Barbados and then back to Liverpool. However, it was owned by Barton & Co and also cruised between Liverpool and Africa. It now serves as a relaxing cruise and is one of Montgomery's tourist attractions.

SO ALL THE ANCESTOR ARE STANDING SMILING PROUD

AT BLACK PARAPHERNALIA BLOG WE DO NOT BELIEVE IN ANY FORM OF VIOLENCE OR PERPETUATE THE BEHAVIOR OF WHAT WAS NOTED. WE HAVE ENDURED AND SUFFERED FOR CENTURIES OF THE WS AND THEM ENTITLE MANNERISM, AGGRESSIONS, BEHAVIORS AND VIOLENT RACISM. THIS IS A NEW ERA IN THIS 21TH CENTURY WE SAY NO MORE - WE ARE SICK AND TIRED, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND WILL NOT TOLERATED ANY SUCH BEHAVIORS, NOT TODAY SATAN. MOREOVER, IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT WE SHOULD AND MUST DEFEND AND PROTECT ONESELF...... LIKE IN THE WORDS OF OUR ANCESTOR MALCOLM X *BP*

BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY

Florida was not always the “Sunshine State”. This was a reinvention of the 1950s to attract tourists. Before that, Florida was a racist southern state just like all the others, and, in some ways, worse. A black person in Florida stood a greater chance of being lynched than a black person in Mississippi or Alabama. But almost all of Florida’s painful racial past has been whitewashed, marginalized, or buried intentionally. But I was born here. I know Florida’s flowers and her warts. For four decades my work has taken me from Key West to Pensacola and many places in between. Florida’s black history well is deep. Drink here often.

About Dr. Marvin Dunn

A former naval officer, Marvin Dunn is a Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology at Florida International University, retiring as chairperson of the department in 2006. He has published numerous articles in leading newspapers on race and ethnic relations including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Orlando Sentinel and the Miami Herald. He is the author of the following books: The History of Florida: Through Black Eyes, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (2016), Black Miami in the Twentieth Century, University Press of Florida (1997).  He is the coauthor of This Land is Our Land, California:  University of California Press. (2003) and The Miami Riot of 1980: Crossing the Bounds, Lexington, Massachusetts: D.C. Heath (1984).

He has  produced three documentary films including, “Rosewood Uncovered,” documenting the Rosewood Massacre of 1923, “Murder on the Suwanee: The Willie James Howard Story,” the story of the lynching of a fifteen year old black child in Live Oak, Florida in 1944 and “Black Seminoles in the Bahamas: The Red Bays story” which documents the flight of slaves from Florida escaping to the Bahama Islands in the 1800s and “The Black Miami” based upon his book, Black Miami in the Twentieth Century. He was born and raised in Florida and currently lives in Miami, Florida.

In the wake of the killing of George Floyd, Dunn and other community advocates for racial justice founded the Miami Center for Racial Justice. According to Dunn, “ The Miami Center for Racial Justice will be a beacon in our community. We seek to foster a safe space for dialogue on racial issues, to promote unity, and allow for frank confrontation of the history of racial terror through the examination and preservation of stories of racial terror in Florida.”

Meteorite Hazard at Audubon Golf Course

At the northern end of the eighteenth hole fairway in New Orlean's Audubon Park Golf Club course is one weird hazard. An iron meteorite weighing in at more than fifteen tons juts out nearly six feet from the well-maintained grounds of the old course. The Picayune described the meteorite's arrival on March 31, 1891:

The terrific explosion and detonation which startled all of Carrollton just previous to daylight yesterday morning, shook houses and smashed panes of glass, proves to have been caused by the fall of an enormous meteorite. All people throughout the city who happened to be awake heard the noise and felt the shock. Indeed, the effects were felt as far away as Biloxi, and no doubt at more distant points.

The few who were on the streets or rushed to the doors and windows saw an immense glare of fire in the sky and the kissing of flames, which ceased as suddenly as they appeared.

Initial descriptions measured it at eight feet high and twenty-one feet in circumference at its widest point. But in the nearly 120 years since it slammed into the dark, rust, ground subsidence under its enormous weight and souvenir collecting have diminished the spectacle somewhat. In fact, after it was determined that it probably posed little or no danger to the park or its visitors, city officials soon realized that the greater danger was to the meteorite itself from the swarms souvenir hunters. Twelve lesser masses of space iron and thousands of smaller chunks and fragments scattered around the site were quickly carried away as mementos, many of which still grace mantals and curiosity cabinets throughout the region. By late afternoon on the day the interplanetary traveler arrived, a committee headed by the commissioner of public works, E. T. Leche, decided to post a guard of armed policemen around the site until an iron fence could be constructed to preserve it for future citizens to enjoy and admire.

It turns out the best way to preserve an intergalactic artifact is to tell a lie about it. A false rumor was started, claiming that the rock hadn't come from space at all. Instead it was touted to be a giant sample iron ore from Alabama's famous Red Mountain quarries near Birmingham. It purportedly had been abandoned in New Orleans after the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition of 1884-85.

This version of the origins of the meteorite gained momentum after readers realized that the original newspaper article had come out April 1, although the event itself had happened the day before. It did not explain, however, how such a big chunk of "iron ore" had completely escaped notice until then, or why, if Alabamans had thought it was so impressive before the fair, they had decided it was so worthless afterward. What is more, in a region with almost no outcroppings of solid rock at all, surely over the course of six years of supposedly sitting in plain view in a park surrounded by hundreds of daily visitors, someone would have noticed it, if it had really been there all along.

After the lake meteorite story began circulating, the public quickly lost interest. The Public Works office quietly canceled plans for the elaborate fencing as the meteorite sank into the mists of history. For decades afterward, unfortunate old-timers were branded as fabulists or lairs if they admitted that they'd actually heard the blast or seen the flames. Meanwhile, gawkers and curiosity seekers refocused their attention on the other wonder of that year, the great Ames Crevasse. A breach in the levees had flooded Gretna, destroying homes and creating quite a tourist attraction. The Audubon Park meteorite, on the other hand, crashed down in a party of the city with no dwellings, at a time when few people were awake, and on a day when almost no one would later believe it had ever really happened at all.

Explore the U.S.S. Alabama Battleship Memorial Park

If you are considering a great tourist attraction center, then one cannot underestimate the U.S.S. Alabama Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile. This historic park is where the landmark WWII ship USS Alabama (BB-60), the most decorated battleship of the Pacific War with nine battle stars, is located.

Discover the USS Alabama

Some famous ship identifiers that various visitors commonly refer to include the USS Alabama, mainly called the 'Mighty A. Most battleships are open to the public; thus, you can move around the hull and look into the engine, the quarters, and even the command triangle called the bridge.

There is a museum on this ship, and most of its exhibits are meant to exhibit the historical background of the boat and the gallant sailors who crewed it.

Special Events and Activities

USS Alabama Battleship Memorial Park often organizes dramatic presentations, educational activities and services, and recognition ceremonies. These events provide a feel-through that educates the guests, especially the young ones, to know more about history.

Wander Through the Mobile Museum of Art

Mobile Museum of Arts is a must-visit place for art lovers. This museum in Langan Park has a collection of more than ten thousand pieces of art from different eras, traditions, and trends.

Diverse Collections

These are categories of the museum's artwork collections: American art, European paintings, Asian art, and contemporary art. These paintings and others by great artists like John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, and Winslow Homer are displayed.

Not so to say that the museum has an African and decorative art collection that is detailed and diverse, providing a harmonious view of artistic work all over the world.

The De Tonti Square Historic District

The De Tonti Square Historic District is the second place to be visited. This district derived its name from Henri de Tonti, a French explorer and the founder of Mobile.

It exhibits the Italianate, Greek Revival, and Federal Square style architecture of the buildings built in the 19th century. Due to the old architectural design and the red brick-paved streets, most of the buildings in the district look very beautiful and evoke a bygone era.
