rr Inspirational Odyssey: Darwin Nunez’s Remarkable Journey from Childhood Struggles with No Food and Shelter to Landing a ‘Golden Contract’ with Liverpool.

Image
Exclusive: Before joining Liverpool, Darwin Nunez, one of the most exciting strikers in international Football , was nurtured in a challenging environment in Uruguay. Darwin Nunez, a big £85 million addition to Liverpool, has already fulfilled his life’s dream. When the 22-year-old Uruguayan striker was playing Football with his pals in the streets of Artigas, a city in the northeast of the country close to the Brazilian border, he used to dream of being good enough to one day buy his parents a new house. Nunez lived in a small house on the Cuareim River’s flood plain with his parents, dad Bibiano, mother Silvia Ribeiro, and older brother Junior. As a result, the few furnishings they did have would regularly wash away.

The top 50 American individuals and couples who gave or pledged the most to charity in 2023 committed US$12 billion to foundations, universities, hospitals and more. That total was 28% below an inflation-adjusted $16.5 billion in 2022, according to the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s latest annual tally of these donations. The Conversation U.S. asked David Campbell, Angela R. Logan and Michael Moody, three scholars of philanthropy, to assess the significance of these gifts and to consider what they indicate about the state of charitable giving in the United States. What trends stand out overall? David Campbell: As was the case in 2022, more than one-third of these big gifts – $4.4 billion – went to donors’ personal foundations. Another $764.3 million flowed into donor-advised funds. Also known as DAFs, these charitable savings accounts make it possible for donors to reserve assets such as cash, stocks and bonds for future charitable gifts.

Mystery of enormous Saharan 'star dune' finally solved — and it wasn't what scientists were expecting

Image
A towering, star-shaped dune in the Sahara desert formed in less than a thousand years, new research finds. The study, published March 4 in the journal Scientific Reports , is one of relatively few to look at these so-called star dunes, which are the tallest dunes on Earth. Named for their multiple-armed shapes, star dunes form in places where the winds change direction throughout the year, according to the National Park Service . Although star dunes are found all over the world, there is only one confirmed star dune in the rock record, from about 250 million years ago in Scotland, Charles Bristow , a professor emeritus of sedimentology at University College London, told Live Science . That may be because researchers don't know what to look for to identify an ancient star dune, he said. These dunes are difficult to study because they're usually in remote locations, and slogging up a few hundred feet of shifting sand is not easy. The dune is in Morocco in a dune field cal...
