Brazil is well known for its sunny beaches, exotic islands, and charming colonial cities. What you may not know is that Brazil is also a paradise for waterfall pursuers. Considering that Brazil is the fifth largest country and home to the world’s largest and most biodiverse rainforest, it is not surprising that it is also home to some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Due to the abundance of falls and the wide variety of ecosystems and terrain, assessing the best waterfalls in Brazil is almost an impossible task. But we figured out our favorites to help plan the perfect Brazilian waterfall adventure.
List of Top Waterfalls in India
1. Iguazu Falls
Iguazu Falls are one of the undisputed grandmasters and arguably the most famous waterfall in Brazil. The extensive falls consist of nearly 300 individual drops and follow the Iguazu River, alongside both Argentina and the Brazilian state of Paraná. The Iguazu Falls are said to be the most extensive of the falls in any of the world’s falls and are marked as UNESCO sites, in recognition of both their greatness and ecological significance. The spreading semicircular falls on the Brazilian side can be admired from the 350-degree observation deck of the Iguazu National Park.
2. Caracol Falls
With several beautiful cascades and excellent lookout points, Caracol Falls is perhaps the most beautiful waterfall in Brazil after Iguazu Falls. The 400-foot waterfall is located in front of the resort town of Canela, in the southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul. The highest part of the waterfalls flows over the edge of a cliff for an incredibly dramatic display, especially when viewed from the nearby 100-meter lookout tower at sunset. The tower is comfortably equipped with a lift and even a lift for stunning aerial views. If you’re looking for a more adventurous path, try descending the 927-step trail that leads to the foot of the waterfalls!

3. Salto do Rio Preto Falls
Adventurers of the Brazilian Falls will appreciate the nearly 4-mile hike through the beautiful Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park to reach the Salto do Rio Preto Falls. Between the untouched forests at an altitude of 400 meters towers the sight of this dizzying drop is worth the hike. Make a set before setting off in the wilderness and enjoy the river’s scenic and secluded locations for lunch and swimming.
4. Couros Falls
Located in Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park – and one of the most beautiful in the region – another Brazilian waterfall is Couros Falls. The trails needed to find the hidden gem are not well marked, so a local tour guide and 4 × 4 vehicles is recommended. Bring a packed lunch to take an 18-mile rough dirt road, then take a short 1.5-mile hike to the waterfall. The multi-layered drops, pool, and sandy beach offer an exciting day for scenic exploration.

5. Buracão Falls
According to many, the highlight of the Chapada Diamantina National Park, Buracão Falls is a must for the adventurer who is ready to go hiking, with at least 1 full (if not 2!) Day of driving, hiking and swimming, which is an exciting Brazilian waterfall experience. Navigate the dirt road, take an hour, and finally swim through the steep canyon walls to reach the breathtaking 320-meter fall.

6. Serra do Cipo
Serra do Cipo National Park is home to dozens of spectacular waterfalls. Some are within easy reach, including the Veu da Noiva, a 224-meter waterfall, and one of the park’s gentlest hiking trails. If you venture out into more distant waterfalls, hire a local tour guide who knows the terrain and trails that may not be clearly marked. Bring water and snacks and soak your swimsuit in one of the many sparkling waterfall pools.
7. Smoke Falls
The “Cachoeira da Fumaca” or Smoke Falls rocky cliff is the highest point on our list where the waters fall into the pool below, from more than 1,000 feet of air. Although it is one of the best waterfalls in Brazil, the flow of water can sometimes be easy, causing the spray to disperse in the wind and create the mystical “smoky” effect of its eponymous waterfall.
8. Almécegas Waterfalls
South of Chapada dos Medeiros National Park, near the town of Alto Paraíso de Goiás, is a waterfall refuge with easy access to three separate, immersive cascades. With an entrance fee, you can get on more than 20 miles of study trails and explore all three waterfalls. Almécegas is generally considered the culmination of feathers falling on a massive stepped quartzite wall covered with natural vegetation.

9. Santa Barbara Falls
The beloved Santa Barbara Falls is 15 miles from the small town of Cavalcante. Once a place where researchers settled for gold, Cavalcante is now known for its beautiful natural rivers and waterfalls. The 100-meter Santa Barbara Falls is certainly not the tallest waterfall in Brazil, but it never disappoints with its lush green vegetation and sparkling emerald pool that come together as a vision of paradise.
10. Pedra Branca Falls
Just a 20-minute drive from the popular colonial town of Paraty, Pedra Branca Falls is one of Brazil’s favorite waterfalls, where nearby townspeople gather to enjoy the hot summer days. The huge cliffs and sparkling natural pool are perfect for fun swimming, and the friendly locals are happy to help visitors find their way around the terrain or even go on a slider on the gentle falls.
One of the main attractions of visiting Brazil is indeed the calm waterfall. The divine beauty of these calm bodies of water really makes the journey eternal. Never forget to soak up the amazing sights of Brazil. Pamper yourself with an enthusiastic trip to visit these Brazilian waterfalls. The experience is sure to be mind-boggling.

Across the country, strange allies align to oppose new housing of almost any kind. President Trump and Secretary Carson’s new approach to housing is more aligned with the otherwise generally progressive NIMBY individuals or groups preventing adequate housing and mixed-income neighborhoods by baselessly opposing sound housing policy. Their language and stated rationale may differ, but the result is the same: to prevent lower-income Americans from living in high-opportunity neighborhoods.
But there is also a growing and bipartisan consensus that restrictive zoning and land use regulations are a primary contributor to our nationwide housing crisis and must be addressed. Even the Trump Administration made strides to re-examine restrictive zoning and land use laws through its White House Council on Eliminating Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Housing. A headline from less than two years ago read “Ben Carson and HUD Get Ready to Take on the Nimbys.”
In the coming weeks, California will be ground zero for the fight over where and how we build housing. With the pending floor vote on Up for Growth Action’s sponsored legislation, A.B. 2345, California has the opportunity to reject NIMBYism and say yes to more housing for people of all incomes.
A.B. 2345, authored by Assembly members Lorena Gonzalez and David Chiu and modeled after an extremely successful policy in San Diego, is currently moving through the California Legislature. It proposes enhancements to the state’s existing Density Bonus Law, offering density bonuses and incentives for developers who deed-restrict a certain percentage of units as affordable in new multifamily developments. A.B. 2345 would expand the maximum density allowance and increase the number of incentives available to developers that increase their affordable unit set-aside.
Opponents of A.B. 2345 argue that it usurps local control over housing and undermines other local governments that have adopted “super density bonus programs” that exceed state law. This is simply not true. Based on extensive stakeholder input, multiple rounds of amendments were included to address and further clarify provisions to “hold harmless” any city or county that has adopted such an ordinance that provided for density bonuses that exceed the density bonuses prescribed by A.B. 2345 prior to the effective date of the bill. As a result, any city or county that would meet those criteria is not required to amend or otherwise update its ordinance to comply.
After years of trying – and failing – to pass meaningful legislation to boost new housing construction, the legislature should not let NIMBY noise derail this important bill. A.B. 2345 is the most significant housing production legislation this session and will help the state address its severe shortage of homes.
A.B. 2345 is based on San Diego’s policy enhancement to California’s existing statewide Density Bonus Law, offering an increased bonus to 50% if developers provide an increased set-aside of 24% very low-income or low-income units or 44% moderate-income units. The program also increased the maximum number of incentives – reduced setback requirements, changes to building envelopes, etc. – from three to four.
Since San Diego’s adoption of the program in 2016, the city has seen a 350 percent increase in multifamily housing production participating in the density bonus program, compared to the previous annual average over the 12 years of program history. Understanding that A.B. 2345 is based on a successful local policy enhancement, what does this mean for the state at large?
To answer this question, we analyzed permit level production data across the state and applied the same benefits seen from 2016 – 2020 in San Diego. In 2019, there were 40,500 multifamily units produced statewide, accounting for about 40% of California’s total housing production. If A.B. 2345 becomes law, California could see as many as 195,000 additional homes produced over a five-year period. Of the total forecasted production, 47,000 of these homes would be affordable to households earning very low incomes based on the requirements of the bill.
With California facing a 3.4-million-home shortage, A.B. 2345 provides the incentives needed to spur home construction across the state.
Policies that emerge from the America’s largest state often make their way to other states and to the federal government. By passing A.B. 2345 and rejecting the scare tactics of NIMBYism coming from across the political spectrum, California can be a model for how the country builds the homes needed to solve the housing crisis.

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations Council has declared 2015 as the International Year of Soils. Soils have been receiving a lot of attention lately, because they are the basis for our food systems, fuel and fiber production, many essential environmental functions, and climate change mitigation. Unfortunately, soil health is under threat: the large-scale use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides in conventional farming has been damaging soils and decreasing their natural ability to provide ecosystem services.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Valencia Sixt car rental at a great rate?
CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best rates, no matter when you reserve your car. But getting your car ahead of time can help keep spending low. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and go over the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.
Do I need to bring anything special when I pick up my car in Valencia?
You will need to carry with you credit card, as well as your driver's license.
What's the minimum age to rent a car in Valencia?
Most suppliers in Valencia require that you at least be 21 years old to rent a car. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Take time to review Sixt's policy to determine what the total cost is before you book.
What kind of Sixt rental car should I get for my trip to Valencia?
That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Valencia. Economy or compact vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with colleagues or family, then a mid-size vehicle or SUV will have enough room for all of you and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their getaway can choose a higher-end vehicle like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.
Do I need insurance when I rent a car in Spain?
In Spain you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Sixt. Many major credit card issuers (Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover) generally provide some coverage. But many of them have restrictions, such as not covering larger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. Be sure to call your credit card company and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to . Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Does Sixt require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Do I have to return my Sixt rental with a full tank?
We encourage a full tank policy. You should get your automobile with full tank, and you should bring it back it filled up. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car to Sixt.
Why should I get unlimited miles?
Valencia certainly has its charms, but you may want to take to the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Valencia.
Can I get a one-way rental from Sixt?
Sixt usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your vehicle at another Sixt. Don't forget there may be an additional charge when you choose one-way.

The hotel is not particulary close to town so would suggest having a car if you stay here and want to get out and about. It's near a roundabout on an A road but we didn't experience any traffic noise. Room was small and could have done with updating but adequate and very clean. The hotel has a pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi all of which were working and clean, didn't use the gym so can't comment. There is also a beauty salon where treatments are available. Breakfast was a buffet with a full choice of everything you could want, the food was very good and kept restocked. The only downside for us was the Sunday morning after a wedding when the hotel was very busy for breakfast, this seemed the throw the breakfast service into chaos. Tables were not cleared and tea/coffee orders had to be chased up, this was not what we had experienced on the other mornings. All in all, a nice hotel if you can get it for a reasonable price.

VILLAGE PUBS ARE A DYING BREED in the Borders. This week two more once-loved hostelries have succumbed to a premature wintry blast. . .
The Fisherman’s Arms in Birgham on the Scottish side of the Tweed just beyond Coldstream has closed its doors; and not for the first time since it was ‘rescued’ and revamped by a consortium of village investors in 2008.
Meanwhile, the Black Bull at Etal – a village on the River Tweed’s English tributary the Till – has gone into a winter retreat. Call it hi-BEER-nation, if you like.
Refurbished and reopened only six months ago after being closed for two years, the Bull has now closed its kitchen and will serve only drinks during strictly reduced hours from Wednesday to Saturday (noon to 3pm and 6pm to 10pm) and on Sundays between noon and 6pm.
Circumstances in both cases have come to a head very suddenly. Only a week ago the Black Bull’s website set out far more optimistic winter hours, serving drink AND food “from November 5th” with the kitchen closed on Mondays and a full lunch and dinner service the rest of the week.
In fact, the website made a special November offer: “Come along and enjoy a beautifully prepared flat iron steak, by Carl our chef, and a bottle of red wine for 2 people for £20.”
At the same time, rumour had it that the Bull was planning to close on November 7th. One disgruntled visitor said: “I have seen more lively cemeteries than the Black Bull at Etal.” Another occasional customer emailed to say: “The whole concept is way off the mark. Mourinho will last longer at Man U than that pub will survive. I am sorry for Ian, the manager, who seems a nice man.”
So The Clarion decided to investigate, resulting in this perplexing exchange to and from a website email address assumed to be that of the manager:
I have been told that the Black Bull is expected to cease trading this weekend and that staff have been told there is no more work.
Can you confirm? Is there something the management could/should say? – DAVID BANKS, The Clarion
This is not totally correct we have finished the part time staff reducing opening hours as it is winter time! – Anon.
Thanks for getting back to me, I’ve certainly no wish to publish a misleading story, could you expand a little?
How many staff have been let go? What are the new winter hours?
I’m happy to afford you opportunity to make a rebuttal of the ‘rumours’.
Hi we have finished 4 staff which were on hourly contracts as we were over staffed for the for this time of year 4 full time staff are currently still unemployed [I assume they meant ‘employed’]. It’s sad a local paper would print gossip!! And ruin a local amenity’s future
Iain [Dickson, the manager], The Clarion has no intention of publishing “gossip”, as you suggest. That is the purpose of my emails: to check with you before I publish anything. What will be your hours/days of opening?
Hi Dave, this is not Ian but one of the directors. Unfortunately I can’t at this point give you opening hours
Sorry, I assumed Iain. Is he still with the firm.? And can I know who I’m emailing? I originally used this address to contact Michael [Pickard, original director of the company which took the tenancy with Ford&Etal Estate, which owns the Bull] before his sad death. The only other director I’m aware of is his son-in-law. Is that you? I will hold off publishing if you can assure me that you will come back to me ASAP with trading details. I am sure this is a difficult time and I have no wish to cause you harm.
There are still 2 directors of the company, one who is his daughter and Ian is still with the company and you will have to ask him for the hours of opening. We also object to the threatening manor[sic] in your last email!!
In what possible way can my last email be read as “threatening”? Would you prefer that I simply immediately publish what I currently know? Who are “we”?
We are the directors and that is all you need to know.
Understood. In which case I will quote you as “a director who refused to be named”.
In that case you can’t have any simply[sic] with our circumstances.
Did you mean to write “sympathy”? In which case, of course I do.
The Black Bull had, in fairness, got off to a poor start, despite its thatched roof, quaint village location and a wonderful summer for the tourist trade. Michael Pickard, founder of the company which holds the tenancy, died shortly after the opening which had itself been delayed by the refurbishment.
Then, at the end of October, the Heatherslaw Light Railway’s season of popular hourly (half-hourly on busy days) train service drew to a close, depriving the pub of a regular stream of hungry and thirsty tourists disembarking.
Villagers whop moaned for years that they needed the village pub back now wait to see what will happen; the F&E Estate are at least sympathetic to their ‘white elephant’ that the Black Bull has become. Guy Sampson of Savills, who manages Lord Joicey’s estate, said: “It is certainly fair to say that the tragic and sudden death of Michael Pickard at the beginning of the season will have presented an unwelcome challenge to the business this season, however I think it would be hasty to draw too many conclusions at this stage.”
The late Michael Pickard, coincidentally, provided a link between the two struggling pubs: he was also a director of The Fisherman’s Arms (Birgham) Ltd., the consortium which owns that building.
The first, unexpected, announcement of The Fisherman’s demise came in a Bonfire Night Facebook message to regulars from the tenants which simply said: “Thank you all so much for the support you have given us over the last 18 months. We have really enjoyed our time at the Fisherman’s Arms.” – Scott, Lyndsey and family.
Three days later, the website announced: “Regrettably the pub is currently closed. Available for lease – any enquiries, please contact 07890 747505.”
Fiona Livingstone, a director of the Birgham consortium, said: “It is very sad. We hoped that the tenants could carry on but they decided they couldn’t.
“Hopefully someone reading this will be interested and get in touch. . . it really is a lovely village pub.”


This blog is about my musings and thoughts. I hope you find it useful, at most, and entertaining, at least.
Problem: Party A and Party B would like to perform two mutual transactions (Transaction 1: A -> B ; Transaction 2: B -> A). The parties require that neither Transaction 1 or Transaction 2 be completed without the other also being completed.
Solution: If the mutual transactions take place in a Bitcoin-like system, the transactions could be split such that:
Where P1 and P2 are address computer by:
Once both parties are satisfied that the transaction has been completed, a Multi-Party Fair Exchange Protocol is used to allow A and B to swap a2 and b1. This will only succeed if both parties end with the swapped values.
At this point, B has the private key for P1 and A has the private key for P2, allowing them to perform Transaction 1β and Transaction 2β, respectively.
The problem then comes if the swap isn’t performed, leading to a state where what is paid into Transaction 1α and 2α are lost forever. To remedy this situation, two more transactions are created and published:
which are locked for a pre-determined amount of time. When the time comes, if the transactions haven’t been withdrawn by the entity with the private key, the transaction will be (should be) invalid because P1 and P2 should have no funds in them.
If the swap hasn’t happened, and noöne has the private keys, how can Transaction 1α\* and 2α\* be formed? A Secure Multi-Party Function evaluation! The SMFE can compute the signature needed without revealing the private keys to A or B.

ADHD in Lexington, KY
ADHD is one of the most common behavioral and developmental disorders, and it begins in childhood. ADHD is also difficult to recognize because the signs of ADHD, including frequent inattention and lack of focus, are often mistaken for normal behavior. Your pediatrician can tell the difference.
What is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD, is a developmental and behavioral disorder that is characterized by repetitive movements, inattention, difficulty learning, and other signs and symptoms.
Signs and Symptoms of ADHD
According to the Child Development Institute, these are the most common signs and symptoms of ADHD:
- Difficulty staying still for long periods
- Frequent squirming or fidgeting
- Difficulty getting and staying organized
- Frequently forgetting or losing things

the ESSEGESSE family, art by Manlio Truscia
Giovanni Sinchetto, Dario Guzzon & Pietro Sartor
(1925 – 1989, 4 January 1926 – 3 May 2000, 1926 – 1989)
EsseGesse is the collective signature of three Italian artists, Giovanni Sinchetto (Esse), Dario Guzzon (G.) and Pietro Sartoris (Esse), who have built up a collective oeuvre during several decades. Giovanni Sinchetto began his career in 1943 with ‘Fulmine Mascherato’, a comic published by Della Casa. Pietro Sartoris and Dario Guzzon both debuted at the publishing houses Taurina and Alpe.
After these individual projects, the three decided to form a team. For publisher Torelli, they created the character ‘Kinowa’, together with scenario writer Lavezzolo, in 1950. ‘Kinowa’ was soon followed by creations like ‘Capitan Miki’ (1951) and ‘Il Grande Blek’ (1954) at Araldo.
In 1965, they created, ‘Alan Mistero’ (known in France as ‘Ombrax’) and ‘Il Comandante Mark’ (‘Cap’tain Swing’). After the death of his two companions, Dario Guzzon continued ‘Il Comandante Mark’ together with the female illustrator Lina Buffolente until 1999.

Results Shatter Ruby on Rails Perceived Scalability Limitations on MySQL – Blue Box Launches Scalable Ruby on Rails Service Powered by Clustrix
SAN FRANCISCO, CA and NEW YORK, NY – Oct 2, 2012 – Clustrix, the scale out database for Big Data applications, and Blue Box, the leading provider of hosting services for Ruby on Rails applications, today announced a strategic partnership at Percona Live in New York. In conjunction, Clustrix and Blue Box also made public today the results of the first-ever comprehensive benchmark of Ruby on Rails implementations on MySQL and MySQL-compatible databases. The exciting benchmark results were delivered by Clustrix software development and test engineers Clayton Cole and Neil Harkins during their keynote presentation at Percona Live.
“This industry first benchmark demonstrates to developers that they can scale Rails 10X the expected limitations without pain using the scale-out database from Clustrix,” said Robin Purohit, CEO, Clustrix. “We are excited to partner with Blue Box to make it easy for Ruby on Rails developers to design or migrate their applications onto our database-as-a-service.”
Added Jesse Proudman, Blue Box CEO, “Not only were we able to achieve performance and scalability that is off the charts for the Ruby on Rails market, but this benchmark demonstrates that Rails is ideal for building the next generation of Web and mobile applications. And with Clustrix under the hood as our scale-out database, our customers have no worries about scale, performance and availability.”
About the Ruby on Rails Benchmark
Tacit Knowledge, a software engineering firm, along with Clustrix, designed and coded the benchmark’s application, which simulated an auction website with social media components. They implemented the schema within the Rails framework, then crafted 13 scenarios to demonstrate user interactions that would cause database operations—from simple INSERTs to multiple UPDATEs inside a transaction and JOINs.
Blue Box hosted the testing environment and supplied the MySQL server and client servers for the benchmark, and Percona, the largest independent MySQL support and consulting company, validated the MySQL server configuration used in the benchmark.
The initial data set size was 475 GB, to emulate a real-world production environment and to ensure the data set significantly exceeded total memory sizes. The benchmark used a mix of the different workload scenarios in a ratio of 52% reads to 48% writes, run at random with an equal probability of executing each scenario. Numbers of concurrent users (threads) were ramped up from one to well past 10,000.
Benchmark test results were captured in terms of Transactions Per Second (TPS) and in average scenario execution time (in whole seconds) for each of the three database setups observed (MySQL, three-node Clustrix, and six-node Clustrix). The application and test configuration parameters were unchanged from the MySQL setup to Clustrix’s MySQL drop-in replacement database.
At 1,024 concurrent users – around the point where an application or website is gaining popularity – the Rails application powered by a three-node Clustrix cluster executed 8X the observed TPS of standard MySQL, while the six-node cluster executed 15X MySQL’s observed TPS. (Actual TPS: 3,500 for MySQL, 29,000 for three-node cluster and 53,000 for a six-node cluster.) In addition, at 1024 concurrent users, transaction response times were 25X faster on the Clustrix configuration, averaging around 100 milliseconds compared to ~2.5 seconds on the MySQL setup.
About the Blue Box/Clustrix Partnership
The partnership between Clustrix and Blue Box includes the integration of the Clustrix Database-as-a-Service solution into Blue Box’s service using Ruby on Rails. The Blue Box scale-out Rails service, powered by the Clustrix Database-as-a-Service, is available now.
For more information on the scale-out Rails solution, please contact Blue Box at email@example.com or Clustrix at firstname.lastname@example.org.
In July, Clustrix released its high-performance SQL Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), extending Clustrix’s scalability, performance and availability to the cloud. The Clustrix DBaaS introduces simple, transparent pricing with no meters or limits on transactions, data size or number of users.

Eating here for decades, always love the Prime Rib
Best steak sandwich ever!
Great big juicy burger and fries were nice and crispy would recommend! Also they're mud pie is incredible! Bigger then expected but sure is great for your sweet tooth cravings!
I had the crunchy chicken version for dinner. Chicken had a good crunch to it and everything seemed fresh. Great tasting dressing and the portion size was pretty large; it definitely filled me up and some people could easily split it.
Very Good. Excellent Family Resturant l
Hands down best spaghetti and bread I've ever had! Literally, I crave it!! Lol!! Fabulous salads as well! Customer service is AMAZING, the staff is truly accommodating and on top of A game! Great experience and flavors!
Excellent Food here, always
The menu said Kraft but the waitress informed us it would be made in-house. That news was good as was the dish: small shell pasta with a lot of cheesy sauce, with fresh chopped herbs of some sort. Our son loved it and we kinda wished they had a larger version for adults lol
Very good flavor will definitely get that again with sweet potato fries.
I love a good reuben, and the one I jad today at D'Carlos was absolutely on par with any expensive NY style deli either in NY or Vegas! Perfect proportions of tender meat to sauerkraut to dressing and marbled rye bread. I am so excited to have this option right here in Ramona!! The prime rib sliders were my go-to but I thought I'd just try their reuben and I am so glad I did!!


The perfect combination. Krischel Stause and G-Flip are “still strong” despite taking a step back to share their relationship on social media.
The chronology of the relationship between Krischel Stauss and Ji Flip
“They were more restrained in their romance, as there was a lot of speculation about their relationship, so they want it to be more private on social media,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly about the couple who went public with their relationship in May. “[For them] it’s never boring—they always find fun ways to keep the spark going.”
Staus, 41, started dating the 27-year-old Australian musician, who is non-binary and uses the pronouns they/they, earlier this year after appearing in their music video “Get Me Outta Here”. Although the couple is busy with their careers, the insider added that they “fully understand” each other’s busy schedules and “agree that they are separated for several weeks.”
The source continued, “They support each other’s careers and make efforts to maintain a happy relationship. They really balance each other out.”
Everything you need to know about the 6th season of “Sunset Sale”
In fact, things are going so well between the couple that there is a “good chance” that G-Flip will appear in the upcoming season of “Sunset Sale” with his girlfriend. “It would be logical if G Flip made a Sunset Sale movie with Chris, especially if they are together and around the camera,” an insider told us. Although filming has “not started yet”, it is likely that the songwriter of “Killing My Time” will play some role in the upcoming episodes.
G-Flip, for their part, previously admitted that they “did not dare” to appear on the Netflix reality show, despite the fact that they wanted to support Stause. “I’ve never thought of my life as a reality show. I think I want to stick to music,” the songwriter told Entertainment Tonight in July. “I don’t want people to know me as a reality TV star, not as a musician, because I’ve been playing music all my life. Since I was 9 years old, this has always been my dream. I always just want to be in the studio or on stage, playing drums and stuff like that. So I don’t think it’s really for me.”
They continued, “[But] I met the entire cast of Selling Sunset and the creators behind it, and they’re all such cool, awesome people. They’re so wonderful. They’re so funny.”
Stause surprised her colleagues when she announced her relationship with G-Flip during the fifth season reunion of Selling Sunset, which aired earlier this year. “I’m still very attracted to male energy and a good person,” the real estate agent said at the time about the “Killing My Time” singer. “I’ve heard people talk about these things, and they say: “I’ve known this since I was young.” It’s not me. I’m just very open to good energy. I do not know what the future holds for me. … I know that we are constantly being judged in this position, but in the end, I am so happy.”
The couple sparked engagement rumors last month when Stause was spotted wearing a large diamond ring on her left hand, although a representative for the All My Children graduate told us it was “just a ring and nothing more. They’re not actually engaged.”
Love Lives actors “Sunset Sales”: who Netflix stars meet behind the scenes
Prior to dating G-Flip, Stous was married to Justin Hartley from 2017 to 2019, and their messy divorce played out during season 3 of “Sunset Sale.” he announced that he was leaving in December next year.

Lt. Gov. Gilchrist Visits Henry Ford College
On June 17, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist II visited Henry Ford College for a leadership discussion focusing on closing the skills gap in Information Technology and increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in the field.
Following the discussion, Gilchrist toured the Electrical Technology and Robotics Lab where he viewed student demos as well as interacted with students from the Black Male and QUEENS Focus Group (BMQFG), an academic and social support network for Black students at HFC.
For the members of BMQFG, Gilchrist is not only an inspiration, he is an affirmation of the world of possibilities that lie within reach. At 36, he is the second highest ranking public official in the state of Michigan and the first African American to hold the position of Lieutenant Governor. His accomplishments challenge the prefabricated and widely accepted narrative for African Americans and students of color. The fact that he is young, and he is black matters because representation matters.
HFC student Warren Harrison thanked Gilchrist for taking time to interact with him and his peers. He emphasized the importance of having positive role models and the need for a collective effort to affording young people like himself opportunities, and mentoring and encouraging them to explore their full potential.
Harrison said, “The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down just to feel its warmth.” Harrison is a first year engineering student and a member of the BMQFG.
Dr Kalvin Harvell, coordinator of BMQFG stated that the Lt. Governor taking time to meet with the Focus Group signifies his commitment to the education of this generation.
“It speaks to his understanding of the important work of our ancestors and intentionality of Black people as models of excellence,” Harvell said.
“Reflecting on his own college experiences, the Lieutenant Governor engaged the group in real talk; dialogue that can not be faked or accessed by individuals who are not truly committed to their constituents,” Harvell emphasized.
Joining Gilchrist on the visit were other political, business, and civic leaders including U.S. Rep. Debbie Dingell, State Senator Sylvia Santana, State Rep. Abdullah Hammoud, State Rep. Karen Whitsett, Wayne County Commissioner Sam Baydoun, Dearborn City Council President Susan Dabaja, Secure24 President Nick Ilitch, members of the HFC Board of Trustees, the HFC Foundation Board, HFC faculty and students, and others.
Commenting on the importance of the visit, HFC President Russell Kavalhuna said that it is an honor to have Lt. Gov. Gilchrist, Representative Dingell, and many other leaders from government and industry visit HFC and interact with students.
Kavalhuna said, “All of us are dedicated to closing the skills gap in I.T. specialties and increasing the number of underrepresented minorities in technology and skilled trades fields.” He added, “The governor and other state leaders have been staunch advocates of Henry Ford College’s mission to educate the next generation of workers, closing the skills gap and providing opportunities for Michigan’s citizens and businesses to thrive.”

LOS ANGELES — In light of the recent Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, the country is experiencing yet another tumultuous period in its history; from economic meltdowns to extreme social upheaval, the current state of affairs in the country has dampened the excitement surrounding one of Afghanistan’s most popular sports: cricket.
The History of Afghani Cricket:
Introduced in the 1800s by the British, cricket didn’t gain contemporary popularity in Afghanistan until the early 2000s, when many Afghans returned home from neighboring Pakistan. The Afghanistan Cricket Federation (now called the Afghanistan Cricket Board or ACB) was officially granted International Cricketing Council (ICC) Affiliate status in 2001, the same year in which an official national team was formed. This decision came one year after the Taliban lifted its ban on the sport.
Upon achieving affiliate status, Afghanistan’s rise in the international cricketing community has been swift. It cemented its status as an international competitor by qualifying for the ICC World T20 in 2010 and playing its first One-Day International against a “Full Member of the ICC in 2012, a match against Pakistan.
These achievements allowed Afghanistan to become an Associate member of the ICC in 2013, after which it proceeded to qualify for the 2015 Cricket World Cup. The country finally reached the pinnacle of international cricket in 2017 when it was awarded full member status by the ICC, allowing the national team to play test matches.
Afghanistan’s progression from affiliate to full member in 16 years is remarkable, but it has been led by the fast-paced rise of its men’s cricket team, while its women’s team has been in shambles since being created in 2010, disbanded in 2014 and then temporarily revived in 2020 with a squad of 25 players. The original women’s national team faced backlash from conservative Afghanis and received threats of violence from the Taliban, forcing it to eventually disband.
This initially created a dilemma for Afghanistan’s bid for full member status because it needed both a men’s and women’s team, but the ICC waived the requirement based on the ACB’s claims of insecurity for Afghani women cricketers.
Regardless, Afghani cricket has developed almost entirely under a government not controlled by the Taliban, raising questions about its future given the current political climate, particularly related to the program’s support and international standing. As for the Afghanistan women’s team, the future looks increasingly bleak, with the Taliban making clear its stance that women should not be allowed to play sports.
The Current State of Cricket in Afghanistan
The Taliban’s resurgence seems to have had no effect on the status of Afghanistan’s men’s cricket team for this year’s T20 World Cup. Before the tournament began, Coach Lance Klusener expressed his understanding that the Taliban are supportive of men’s cricket. Furthermore, the Afghan men’s cricket team has been able to participate in a full array of practices (setting up locations in the UAE, where this year’s World Cup is being held) and compete in warm-up matches against other nations.
Notably, Afghanistan beat the defending World Cup champion West Indies by 56 runs in a tune-up match on Oct. 20. The team is optimistic ahead of the premier T20 competition, starting with its first official match on Oct. 25.
This optimism is not present in the Afghan women’s cricket team.
“I don’t think women will be allowed to play cricket because it is not necessary that women should play cricket,” said Ahmadullah Wasiq, deputy head of the Taliban’s cultural commission, in an interview with SBS News:
Wasiq went on to explain that women would be “exposed” and “not get an Islamic dress code” when playing cricket, which goes against Islamic values. He emphasized the importance of maintaining “Islamic rules,” which would be broken if women play cricket, as such actions go against “Islam and the Islamic Emirate” according to Wasiq.
This message from the Taliban undoes — in a single stroke — almost 20 years of advancement by Afghan women in combating women inequality. Although there has not been an official ban on women’s cricket, many Afghai women are already being reminded of the Taliban’s rule just over 20 years ago, causing unrest.
Some women have even started going into hiding while others have become pessimistic about access to education and job opportunities. Homeira Qaderi, a women’s rights activist, stated that “the streets of Afghanistan are no longer a safe place for women” and that “violence against women is systematic in the behaviour of the Taliban government.”
This fear extends into cricket as well, wherein panicked cricket players have gone into hiding because they don’t know how to respond to the situation. Popular cricket locations in Kabul were recently infiltrated by the Taliban, leaving female cricket players hopeless, with some being forced to flee the country and seek refuge elsewhere, at times leaving everything behind.
Female cricket players cited receiving threatening messages from the Taliban, effectively banning any women’s cricket matches, practices, or gatherings. With women’s cricket losing hope in Afghanistan, the need to relocate cricket players has risen. Some are resigned to the hope that these women can leave Afghanistan and play cricket elsewhere to preserve the culture of Afghanistan’s women’s cricket.
Wasiq’s idea of cricket being “not necessary” for women contradicts how Afghan women view cricket. For them, cricket extends beyond just the physical means and appearance of sport. It provides Afghan women with a podium built on the foundations of equity and empowerment.
Many of these women feel empowered on the pitch, and these emotions that are interconnected with cricket are what make the sport so powerful to them. The Taliban’s resistance to women in cricket has had massive emotional implications on these players in addition to their physical safety concerns.
Looking to the Future
While the Afghan men’s team has thus far been able to participate in the World Cup with relatively few setbacks, considering the circumstances, the Taliban government’s effect on Afghanistan cricket will continue to reveal itself in the coming weeks and months.
Although it would benefit Afghan cricket if the Taliban are supportive of the sport, the lack of communication between the Taliban and the men’s team’s coaching staff casts doubt on the validity of claims that it will encourage cricket as the previous regime did. Meanwhile, international cricketing actors have already begun reconsidering their relationships with the ACB, further imperiling the men’s team’s nearly two decade-long progression.
Cricket Australia, the board that governs Australian cricket, has threatened to call off a test match against Afghanistan scheduled for November 27 if the Taliban refuses to change its stance on women playing cricket, a stance that is also backed by the Australian players. For his part, ACB Chairman Azizullah Fazli has expressed his support for women’s cricket, and is optimistic that the match will indeed be played. However, he has limited authority in the matter since the ACB is bound by the Taliban’s decisions.
In addition to the indefinite postponement of the one-off test match, there is a possibility that teams may refuse to play Afghanistan in the ongoing World Cup, setting up a potentially perilous situation for the tournament. As of now, no team has threatened to boycott World Cup matches but the ICC is monitoring the situation.
The Taliban’s resurgence in Afghanistan has also had major implications for neighboring countries’ cricket teams. Pakistan, a known Taliban ally, has had two scheduled series with England and New Zealand, respectively, canceled for vague, supposedly security-related reasons. Although there are legitimate concerns surrounding the security of visiting international cricket teams in the country, both cancelations occurred after the Taliban took over Afghanistan, leading many to believe that these decisions were made primarily due to political considerations.
Afghanistan’s high standing in the global cricket sphere has forced not only other cricketing boards, but also the ICC to take action against the ACB in response to the Taliban’s proposed changes. At stake is the South Asian country’s full member status, which is what allows its teams to play international Test matches. Australia’s belief, evident in its postponement of the Nov. 27 test, is that Afghanistan should no longer remain a full member of the ICC. However, the international body has decided to take a wait-and-see approach, wanting to observe how the Taliban’s changes unfold before making a final determination.
The next ICC board meeting, during which a final decision is likely to be made, is set for November, after the World Cup ends. Regardless of the outcome, the next few weeks will mark a momentous shift in cricket as we have come to know it.

Image released of naked cannibal killed by Miami police as he ate homeless man's face
31-year-old Rudy Eugene was high on drugs when he carried out his cannibal attack
The first image has been released of Rudy Eugene, the homeless man shot and killed by Miami police as he ate another man’s face.
Eugene, 31, is thought to have been high on a powerful form of LSD when he attacked another homeless man, ripping off chunks of the man’s flesh with his teeth.
Both men were naked at the time of the attack.
The unidentified victim is currently fighting for his life in intensive care at Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital hospital, after Eugene chewed off up to 80 per cent of his face, including his nose and eyes, in what hospital spokesperson called "some of the worst [injuries] staff had ever encountered."
Police were initially called to reports of two naked men fighting on the MacArthur Causeway bike path, which was packed with people heading to the annual Memorial Day hip hop festival at the time.
Witness Larry Vega told WSVN-TV in Miami, "The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him 'get off'...[but] the guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin."
Police initially repeatedly ordered Eugene to stop, but Mr Vega says he just “picked up his head and growled at the officer”.
Police then shot Eugene, but he carried on his attack, after which officers shot him several more times until he died.
Much of the attack was caught on the CCTV cameras of the office building that houses the Miami Herald newspaper. The images went viral in the immediate aftermath of the attack.
Today, the Herald reported that Eugene left few clues about the cause of his attack, saying court records revealed he had married in December 2005, but divorced just over two years later.
“I wouldn’t say he had mental problem but he always felt like people was against him... No one was for him, everyone was against him,” his ex-wife told Miami-based television station WPLG.
The Miami Herald also reported that Eugene had previously been arrested on a battery charge when he was 16, but that charge was later dropped. He was arrested seven more time over the next five years, four times for marijuana offences, once for misdemeanour battery, once for vending near a school and once for trespassing.

The global health landscape is undergoing a set of rapid and profound transitions that threaten to stall or even derail progress in global health improvement. The 4Ds project analyzes four of these major, inter-linked transitions—shifts in diseases, demography, development assistance for health (DAH), and domestic health financing.
There have been significant improvements in recent years in the early stage development of products for poverty-related and neglected diseases (PRNDs). However, there are still major challenges in the funding of late-stage clinical trials of candidate products for these diseases.
Despite observed differences in healthcare delivery systems across Africa and Asia, countries on both continents share similar factors that influence health and healthcare. This academic dialogue series aims to create a flow and exchange of ideas surrounding the similar global health issues between the two continents.
An important United Nations sustainable development goal target for health aims to “achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all.”
Many middle-income countries (MICs) are transitioning away from health aid and towards full county ownership of their health programs. Both aid donors and MICs must take steps to ensure that these programs are sustained and do not face disruptions when donors exit. However, many global health donors have only recently begun to consider formalized exit strategies and plans. Even when this planning has happened, there is little publicly available information on the governance of transitions.
Hunger, food insecurity, and challenges to promoting sustainable agriculture were all major development roadblocks even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are not on track to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG 2), “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition…
The Center for Policy Impact in Global Health at the Duke Global Health Institute is conducting a study to assess country-level capacity for delivery of COVID-19 vaccines in low- and middle-income countries.
The Center for Policy Impact in Global Health (CPIGH) at the Duke Global Health Institute is conducting a study that uses game theory to inform how COVID-19 vaccines could be distributed globally for both maximum public health impact and equity.
The Center’s team has written for or been interviewed by a wide variety of global media networks, including the BBC, TIME magazine, MSNBC, Al Jazeera, and Reuters.
This project addresses ways to finance under-funded but crucial global public goods for health, such as developing new medicines and vaccines for poverty-related and neglected diseases, and other global functions of donor aid for health. Our research examines (a) how much funding is needed to adequately support such global functions, (b) innovative mechanisms to help close the financing gap, and (c) the institutional arrangements that are needed to move these financing solutions forward.
In our previous work, we explained that the “middle-income dilemma” in global health is that “although most of the poor now live in pockets of poverty in middle-income countries [MICs] and face high mortality rates, these countries are regarded as too rich to qualify for aid.” A crucial question facing donors is what role they can still play in supporting MICs after these countries have transitioned away from receiving external assistance.
Achieving the health-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will require significant increases in financial resources from many different sources, including domestic resource mobilization (DRM). In this pilot project, we are partnering with the Duke Center for International Development to examine the role of DRM for health in India (in Assam, Karnataka, and Uttar Pradesh) and Ethiopia. The project takes a “holistic” public financial management (PFM) approach—one that integrates analysis of taxation, allocation, efficiency, and insurance —and applies it to mobilizing domestic resources for health.
This project, funded by a pilot grant from the Duke Global Health Institute, is a one year study that analyzes decision-making processes that underlie a country’s preparation for and response to donor transitions. We are partnering on this project with the University of Ghana and the Institute for Health Policy, Sri Lanka. The study uses a mixed-methods approach, focusing on Ghana and Sri Lanka, to (a) explore the perspectives and experiences of in-country stakeholders with donor transition, (b) document responses to the losses arising from transition (including loss of external financing and technical assistance), and (c) address the “why” behind the chosen response strategies adopted.
In March 2018, the government of India approved a publicly funded health insurance scheme that is officially called the Prime Minister (or Pradhan Mantri) Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), also known as Ayushman Bharat (and known colloquially as “Modicare” after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi). With funding from a Duke Global Health Institute pilot grant, the Center for Policy Impact in Global Health is conducting a mixed method study.
This project is studying the health and financial benefits of public investments in reproductive, maternal, newborn, adolescent, and child health (RMNACH).
In 2018, a research team from Duke University and Policy Cures Research, in collaboration with TDR, the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases, published the first analysis of the pipeline of products for poverty-related neglected tropical diseases (PRNTDs) using a financial modelling tool called Portfolio-to-Impact (P2I). The analysis summarized the pipeline of candidate products for PRNTDs and estimated (a) the costs to move these candidates through the pipeline, (b) the likely launches, and (c) the additional costs to launch critical “missing” products. In a new project, the Center is partnering with Policy Cures Research to update both the pipeline portfolio review and the cost modeling.
The Portfolio-To-Impact (P2I) model is a recently developed product portfolio tool that enables users to estimate the funding needs to move a portfolio of candidate health products such as vaccines and drugs along the product development path from late stage preclinical to phase III clinical trials, as well as potential product launches over time. In this project, we are partnering with the European Vaccine Initiative to use the P2I tool to analyze EVI’s portfolio, which includes vaccine candidates for various diseases of poverty and emerging infectious diseases at different stages of development.

An employee's sleeping habits might seem like a personal issue for them to manage, but in fact employers should start prioritising workers' 'sleep health' if they want to reduce absenteeism and increase productivity.
While I can't tell you why sleep is still being overlooked as a health issue by many employers, I can give you hard evidence as to why this needs to change, as well as tips from an expert on how to do it.
US researchers recently confirmed previous findings that disrupted or insufficient sleep was associated with a greater likelihood of absenteeism and lower work performance.
They found that even people who "seldom" had trouble sleeping took up to six days off work, and that sleep disturbances were linked to increased errors or incidents at work, and more health problems.
But the link between sleep problems and presenteeism was even "more concerning", they said.
The "presenteeism problem" is more costly to employers, because they're paying employees who take longer to complete their tasks, and can be liable for any errors or disabilities caused by workers who are cognitively or physically fatigued.
The evidence is there. Trouble sleeping negatively affects not only workers, but their employers too. So why are many employers still not targeting the issue?
According to the researchers, most of the US employers offering lifestyle management initiatives at work target nutrition or weight management, smoking cessation and fitness, but not sleep.
They recommended, therefore, that employers start including sleep improvement interventions in their health and wellbeing programs.
Psychologist and People Diagnostix managing director Jason van Schie made the same recommendation during a workplace health conference I attended last week: employers really need to start focusing on sleep health in their workplace initiatives.
Interestingly, he said employers should prioritise targeting poor sleep over other issues such as diet and exercise.
Poor sleep has a "far faster [negative] effect on someone's wellbeing and productivity than poor diet or [limited] exercise", he said.
"Let's address the sleep issue first, and then you'll find that person might have a little bit more energy and motivation to do some of these other health exercises."
To improve workers' sleep, van Schie said employers should:
He said employers should encourage employees to:
By taking these steps, employers can "reap massive rewards" in terms of increasing work productivity and improving wellbeing, van Schie said.
