CONCACAF
CONCACAF

The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, abbreviated as CONCACAF ( KONG-kə-kaf; typeset for branding purposes since 2018 as Concacaf), is one of FIFA's six continental governing bodies for association football. Its 41 member associations represent countries and territories mainly in North America, including the Caribbean and Central America, and, for geopolitical reasons, three nations from the Guianas subregion of South America—Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana (an overseas region of France). The CONCACAF's primary functions are to organize competitions for national teams and clubs, and to conduct the World Cup and Women's World Cup qualifying tournaments. The CONCACAF was founded in its current form on 18 September 1961 in Mexico City, Mexico, with the merger of the NAFC and the CCCF, which made it one of the then five, now six, continental confederations affiliated with FIFA. Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Netherlands Antilles (Curaçao, Aruba), Nicaragua, Panama, Suriname and the United States were founding members.The CONCACAF is the third-most successful FIFA confederation in the men's game. Mexico dominated CONCACAF men's competition early on and has won the most Gold Cups since the beginning of the tournament in its current format. The Mexico national football team is the only men's CONCACAF team to win an official FIFA tournament by winning the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup. Mexico and the U.S. have won all but one of the editions of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. In recent years Costa Rica and Panama have become powers in the region; in 2014, Costa Rica became the 4th CONCACAF country after the United States, Cuba, and Mexico to make the World Cup quarterfinals, while Panama became the eleventh country from the confederation to participate in the World Cup in 2018. The CONCACAF Nations League was established in 2018, with the United States winning every edition. The United States has been the most successful team in the world in the women's game, being the only CONCACAF member to win all three major worldwide competitions in women's football—the World Cup (4), the Olympics (4), and the Algarve Cup (10). Canada is the only other member to win at least two of the major competitions, winning the 2016 Algarve Cup and the 2020 Olympics.

The Blackstone
The Blackstone

The Blackstone is a residential building located at 800 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, United States. It was designed as the Blackstone Hotel by architect B. Kingston Hall in 1929. Built and designed in the Mediterranean Revival style, the hotel was 13 stories high, had a mission tile roof supported by exposed rafters, and was topped by a clock that concealed the hotel’s elevator machinery. Nathan Stone, a Jewish entrepreneur, was the developer but he died shortly before the hotel opened in 1929. Nathan's son Alfred Stone (father of future senator U.S. Senator Richard Stone) completed the construction and ran the hotel. At the time it was built, it was considered to be the tallest building in the city, and so remained for seven years.The Blackstone Hotel is reputed to be the first Miami Beach hotel to solicit Jewish clients, and also the first to give accommodations to African-Americans. In 1954, the African Methodist Church organized a convention to take place in Miami Beach and tasked local Black minister Edward Graham to find a hotel for the event. The Blackstone Hotel was the only large hotel that agreed to host the convention, however, when the news became public, the Stone family faced threats of harm from extremist groups and a boycott from the community. Despite the threats, Alfred Stone upheld his commitment.George Gershwin reportedly wrote portions of Porgy and Bess while reposing in the Blackstone Hotel's rooftop solarium.In the 1950s Michael Sossin purchased and developed the Blackstone into a retirement home. In the late 1980s it was renovated by George Perez into affordable housing, and was one of the first low income tax credit rehab projects in Miami Beach.The hotel was renovated again in 1987. Debt on the building is still being paid back.
