Two September 5 Moments That Changed Miami: A Pioneer Wedding and the Birth of Greater Miami
Before Miami had skyscrapers, traffic jams and beachside hotels, September 5 marked two very different moments in the city's history. Actually, September 5 gives us two snapshots of the city separated by just 49 years. The first takes us back to 1876, when Miami was still a remote pioneer settlement and a young woman named Rose Wagner was married in a tiny wooden chapel beside her family's home. The second takes us to 1925, at the height of South Florida's spectacular real e


Best Artisan Chocolate Shops in Miami - 2026 Guide
Who doesn't like good chocolate? Here, we bring you some of Miami's finest sweet ateliers serving chocolate. But did you know that the transformation of bitter cacao seeds into a refined delicacy dates back more than three millennia to Mesoamerican civilizations, where it was first brewed as a sacred ritual beverage?

More Protein in Your Breakfast or Snacks Won’t Give You More Muscle Without More Work
Growing up, my brothers were fascinated by the first “Rocky” movie. They were trying to get stronger and excel in sports, so one scene stood out almost as much as Rocky sprinting up the museum steps: Before sunrise, Rocky cracked raw eggs into a glass and drank them. To a teenager, this raised some questions. Why raw eggs? Was this what you needed to build muscle and become stronger? Curiosity eventually won, but one gulp was enough. The drink was as nasty as it looked. The s


We Finally Have Some Encouraging News on Great Barrier Reef Water Quality
Imagine a plume of brown sediment is washed off the land into Queensland rivers and carried out to sea. Here, it can settle on seagrass and inshore corals, potentially smothering them. River water often also carries nitrogen from fertiliser residue, which can fuel algal growth and damage coral health. We have long known that poor water quality is a serious threat to areas of the Great Barrier Reef close to shore. The reef faces other major challenges, such as marine heatwaves


Elite Sports are Laboratories of Health and Performance Innovation, but not Every Experiment Belongs in Your Routine
Walk into a gym or wellness store and you might encounter compression boots, smart rings, creatine supplements and ice baths. Their use by elite athletes can function as an implicit endorsement, making them seem more proven or more broadly useful than the evidence supports. It’s easy to assume that if elite athletes do something, it must be effective for everyone. mihailomilovanovic/E_ via Getty Images As an athletic trainer with experience in collegiate and professional spor

What Legally Constitutes a Material Breach of Contract Under Florida Law?
Whether a breach is considered material under Florida law depends on the language of the contract and the circumstances surrounding the dispute. Courts generally look at whether one party failed to perform an obligation that was fundamental to the agreement rather than a minor contractual requirement. Every contract is different, so the analysis is rarely as simple as identifying a missed deadline or an isolated mistake. Material terms often relate to payment, delivery, perfo
