Forget what you’ve heard about Miami. It’s far more than the Cocaine Cowboys-era, see-and-be-seen crowds packed racing to raucous South Beach parties in overpriced sports cars. While the city may still cater to an ultra-chic crowd for world-renowned festivals, like Art Basel Miami Beach, it’s Wynwood’s vibrant arts district, Brickell’s myriad eateries, and Downtown Miami’s new cocktail scene that’s gaining the city its new reputation as one of the world’s most prominent cultural melting pots....

On Wednesday, 31-year-old kayaker Kyle Roberts was fishing about a mile offshore from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. A split second later, his boat was pierced by the jaws of a 13-foot tiger shark. According to 9 News, the jolt knocked Roberts out of his kayak and flipped the boat upside down. As the terrified man grabbed ahold of his capsized vessel, the shark did not let go. To make matters worse, the bite had punctured the kayak’s hull and it was beginning to sink....

By Ryan Newhouse The Missouri River is the longest river in North America, flowing more than 2,500 miles from Three Forks, Montana, to its confluence with the Mississippi in St. Louis, Missouri.
