-     What’s your secret? -         I am just gonna keep running… Cliff Young I will write this post in English. Actually, I will mostly just re-print information from several sources, but I will show all references, in order not to incur in plagiarism. This is the story of an ordinary man who performs extraordinary feats. His name was Cliff Young, and he was the least likely hero that any Nation could come up with. "Albert Ernest Clifford "Cliff" Young ,   OAM   (8 February 1922 [1]  – 2 November 2003 [2] ) was an Australian potato farmer [2]   and   athlete   from   Beech Forest, Victoria .   Born the eldest son and the third of seven children of Mary and Albert Ernest Young on 8 February 1922, Albert Ernest Clifford Young grew up on a   farm   in Beech Forest in southwestern Victoria.

The Ministry of Doubt

Por
Imagem
In a world drowning in contradictions, doubt has become the only constant. Verena Solis, a journalist searching for truth, stumbles into a system designed not to silence, but to smother. Here, certainty is never banned — it is buried beneath noise, questions, and endless multiplication of versions. As protests collapse into paradox, as science is reframed into spectacle, she must decide whether truth can still survive when every fact is met with a thousand doubts. Atmospheric, unsettling, and urgently relevant,  The Ministry of Doubt  asks: what if ignorance wasn’t an accident, but the most powerful weapon of all?

Pequenos conselhos práticos - Solo Duro

Por

Imagem do Blogue de Maria Tadeu Esta rúbrica é dirigida aos Trail Runners que se estão a iniciar na modalidade e que ainda não têm prática de uma vertente muito interessante das corridas em trilhos: o "solo duro". O que é o solo duro? "Solo duro" é a expressão que indica o pavilhão gimnodesportivo, ou outras instalações semelhantes, disponibilizado pela organização, para que os atletas possam ter um local onde pernoitar antes e depois de uma prova. É solo duro, porque não inclui camas. Na melhor das hipóteses conseguem-se umas esteiras usadas na prática da ginástica e que se encontram disponíveis no pavilhão. Quanto a mim, trata-se de uma excelente opção para pernoitar, por várias razões. A saber: é gratuito; conveniente; normalmente encontra-se perto da linha de partida; e propicia o convívio. Claro que tem inconvenientes, sobretudo para os mais sensíveis. São locais agitados e barulhentos: há malta (como eu, por exemplo) que, ao ressonar, debit...
