Celebrating Mexico in a Cultural Capital

  • Celebrating Mexico in a Cultural Capital

    For Cinco de Mayo, we’re in San Miguel de Allende, a colonial-era city that’s ramping up for a special year.

    Labor Day

    Labor Day is a well-earned day of rest for many workers across America. The food we eat, the shelter over our heads, and the transportation that moves us around all exist thanks to our collective labor. Organized labor movements grew in the 19th century, along with calls for a day to honor workers' contributions. The first Labor Day was celebrated with a parade in New York City in September 1882 and similar events spread throughout the country. In 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed a bill declaring the first Monday in September as Labor Day. To…Read more

    America’s biggest war plane makers are gearing up for a battle to replace the US Navy’s ageing Top Gun fighter jets.

    The Navy has confirmed that three of the biggest US defence contractors are in the running for the F/A-XX contract. The winning bidder will lead the project to build the successor to the F/A-18, the fighter jet flown by Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick.

  • The F/A-XX project is at a relatively early stage with no set budget. However, a lot of cash is likely to be on offer. The last big fighter programme, the US Air Force’s F-22, was estimated to cost $79bn.

    The hopefuls for the job are: Boeing, the maker of the war planes featured in the recent Tom Cruise blockbuster; Lockheed Martin, which makes the F-35s used by the Royal Navy on its Queen Elizabeth class of aircraft carrier; and Northrop Grumman, maker of the F-14 Tomcats flown in the original 1986 Top Gun, and the B-2 stealth bomber.

    The government, considering when to impose a costly new customs bureaucracy, announced last week that now is not the right time. Post-Brexit checks on goods entering Britain from the EU were first supposed to be implemented in January 2021. After serial postponements, they were due to begin next month. Now it won’t happen before 2024.

  • Пеньо Митев Пенев е български поет, наричан често „Поетът с ватенката“. Животът му е изтъкан от премеждия, разочарования и трудности. Страда от хронична депресия (възможно е и биполярно разстройство), а в последните години от живота си и от алкохолизъм. Негов кумир е Владимир Маяковски. Много факти от живота и смъртта му остават в тайна дълги години, за да се използва неговото име от пропагандата като символ на комунистическата борба.
