- 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 International Trail Running Association (ITRA) Performance Index is a ranking system designed to evaluate and compare trail runners globally. It provides a standardized measure of an athlete's performance based on their results in official trail running events recognized by ITRA. This system helps runners, coaches, and race organizers assess an athlete's skill level and is also used for entry qualifications in prestigious races like the UTMB® (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc).
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...
Book Review: Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst by Robert M. Sapolsky Robert M. Sapolsky’s Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst is an ambitious, comprehensive, and engaging exploration of human behavior. The book dives into the biological, psychological, social, and cultural influences that shape our actions, ranging from the most altruistic to the most violent. Sapolsky, a neuroscientist and primatologist, blends cutting-edge research with humor and storytelling to provide readers with a deep understanding of why we behave the way we do.
Understanding Logic and Fallacies Logic is the cornerstone of rational thought and clear communication. It serves as the structure upon which sound arguments are built and is vital in discerning truth from falsehood. However, when logical reasoning breaks down, fallacies emerge. Fallacies are errors in reasoning that weaken arguments and can often mislead or manipulate. By understanding and identifying fallacies, we can improve our critical thinking skills and engage in more meaningful discussions.
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?
The Most Recent Advances in Cancer Treatments: A Revolutionary Era Cancer remains one of the most challenging diseases to treat due to its complexity and variability across patients and types. Recent years have seen remarkable progress in cancer treatments, driven by advances in immunotherapy , targeted therapies , personalized medicine , and gene-editing technologies . These innovations are transforming cancer care, offering hope to patients and redefining the standard of treatment. This essay explores the most recent and promising cancer therapies, their mechanisms, and their implications for the future of oncology. 1. Immunotherapy: Harnessing the Body's Immune System a) Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) block proteins like PD-1 , PD-L1 , and CTLA-4 , which cancer cells use to evade immune attack. By disabling these checkpoints, ICIs unleash T cells to target and destroy cancer cells. Recent Advanc...
