It annoys me that so many people are under the impression that this guy, Steven Bradbury, is some subpar goober who lucked his way into gold.

That could not be further from the truth.

This is one of the most satisfying victories in the history of the Olympics if you know the full backstory.

This medal final was during his fourth Olympics, in Salt Lake City in 2002.

Earlier in his career, he was among the best athletes in the world in this specific event, the 1000 meter short-track men's speed skate.

But despite his talent, he just had some of the shittiest luck in the sport. We're talking a decade of shit luck.

In the '94 Winter Olympics, he was considered the odds-on favorite to take gold, but he fell in his heat after getting illegally pushed by an opponent (who was later disqualified). He didn't get a re-do. That was it. He got shoved by some asshole, and his Olympics was over.

Then in the '98 Winter Olympics, he was a favorite to at least medal in the same event but got caught up in a collision that wasn't his fault and failed to advance.

In 1994, he got his thigh sliced open by a competitor's skate during a race, which required 111 stitches and 18 months of recovery time.

In 2000, he broke his neck during training because a skater in front of him fell and tripped him up. That required a bunch of screws and plates being inserted into his skull and back and chest.

And doctors told him that he should stop skating. But he didn't wanna give up. It meant too much to him.

So, there he was in Salt Lake City in 2002, past his prime, a walking erector set, going up against opponents who were faster and younger and in their prime.

He manages to win his heat and advance to the quarterfinal but then has the shit luck (yet again) of having to go up against the best two athletes in the quarterfinal and only the top two advance.

He finishes third and thinks: "Damn, I gave it my best shot." But then, the second place finisher is disqualified, so Bradbury gets to advance to the semifinal.

Now, at this point, he's thinking: Well, shit, I'm not as fast as these younger guys, and I got a bad habit of getting taken out by crashes that aren't my fault.

So, he consults with the Australian national coach, Ann Zhang, and they decide that he should hang back from the pack and hope the pack crashes.

That is a perfectly valid strategy. If you crash, you lose, but speed skaters risk crashing to gain an advantage in order to win.

It may not feel exciting, but it is a valid strategy and just as risky: avoid crashes entirely and hope that pays off.

It paid off in the semifinal: the pack, including the defending Olympic champion, jostled too much and crashed. Bradbury wins and advances.

So, he's improbably in the final and takes the same approach, and it works: the entire pack jostles too much and crashes, and Bradbury's risk of hanging back pays off.

This victory was not some un-athletic schlub lucking his way into gold.

It was a journeyman athlete who never gave up and played smart after a career of shitty luck and finally got his due after it being snatched away from him so many times.

Hands down, one of my favorite Olympics stories.

SEMUA

I repeat,

SEMUA

zat yg kita konsumsi itu ada yg namanya LD50 (Lethal Dose, 50%) atau dosis dimana 50% populasi binatang percobaan yg kita kasih itu meninggal.

LD50 eugenol
- Mice (Oral): >1,500 mg/kg body weight (bw)
- Rats (Oral): >2,000 mg/kg bw (OECD Guideline 423)

Makanan yg umum kita konsumsi sehari2 saja kalo dikonsumsi dalam jumlah banyak jg bersifat lethal.

Contoh:
LD50 kafein adalah 150-200mg/kg berat badan. Jika berat badan manusia rata2 misalkan 70-80kg, maka dosis kafein sekitar 10 gr s/d 16 gr itu bisa mematikan.

1 gelas kopi (sekitar 230-240ml) mengandung kurang lebih 95 mg kafein yang berarti kalo kita minum 105 gelas kopi (24 liter kopi) sekaligus, maka kandungan kafeinnya cukup tinggi untuk mencapai LD50.

Kesimpulannya apa?
Lebih kritis dalam menyingkapi informasi seperti ini, jangan ditelan bulat2.

[Armuth @AriqMuthohhar]

Hey saya ingin menjelaskan sebagai Pharmacist bersumber dari jurnal dan informasi yang valid.
Eugenol itu zat alami dari daun cengkeh yang ada di Tolak Angin, biasanya bantu redakan nyeri dan radang. Kalau diminum dalam jumlah kecil seperti di makanan sehari-hari atau obat herbal kayak "Tolak Angin" biasanya aman, BPOM sudah izinkan sebagai Obat Herbal Terstandar (OHT) setelah di uji, dan banyak sumber bilang FDA juga anggap aman untuk makanan (disebut GRAS) dengan batas harian sekitar 2,5 mg per kg berat badan.Dalam produk ini dosisnya rendah banget, jadi jarang bikin masalah kalau diminum sesuai petunjuk (misal 1-2 sachet sehari).
Tapi kalau kebanyakan atau minum minyak cengkeh murni (bukan ekstrak herbal), bisa bikin perut nggak enak, mual, atau iritasi lambung bahkan di kasus parah bisa ganggu hati/ginjal.

ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO: "After the match ended and we won the World Cup, I left my teammates to celebrate with the precious trophy and went to see my club friend, Trezeguet. There were signs of sadness on his face. I tried to remind him that he was the one who gave his country the European Cup in 2000, and that these things happen in football. I comforted him a little, and then I headed to the French team's locker room to find my old friend Zidane. We shared an indescribable friendship. I went to console him and wish him better luck, especially after his departure in that manner.

In the tunnel that leads to the French team's locker room, I found him alone, with the bitterness of defeat and the red card in his heart. He was surprised by my visit, and the first thing he said to me was: 'Wow, how did you leave all that noisy celebration and come here?'

I told him: 'Joy won't make me forget my friend, the one I played with He hugged me warmly, took off his shirt, and gave it to me with a personal autograph, while telling me in Italian: 'Thank you, my friend. I'm happy for you. You're the best l've ever played with, and you really deserve this World Cup championship.'"

Tahukah kamu kalau menangis bisa menurunkan tekanan darah dan melepaskan hormon stres seperti kortisol? 😢 Air mata bukan tanda lemah, tapi cara tubuhmu melakukan “detoks emosional”. Jadi kalau lagi pengin nangis, jangan tahan. Kadang penyembuhan datang lewat air mata.

Bener banget, hampir semua permasalahan diselesaikan melalui diskusi dalam wadah yg dinamakan, forum. Gw inget dulu jaman gw tuh yg dibahas calon ketua osis dari seminari, concernnya apakah bisa memfasilitasi masalah di luar asrama/sekolah

Salam dari Gonz 19 mas

[Mikael Dewabrata 📊 @MikaelDewabrata]

Gonz memang sekolah yang mengedepankan dialog. Ada yang membuat artikel soal itu, jadi gak heran perspektifnya seterbuka ini.

Selama saya sekolah di sana memang dialog antara murid, guru, pihak sekolah kerap terjadi. Pernah malah murid mogok belajar demi dialog soal aturan rambut gondrong 😅. Tapi, hasilnya ada. Aturan rambut gondrong pun dikuatkan dengan adanya syarat nilai.

Namun, tentu dialognya gak sekadar itu saja. Pernah juga ada forum perempuan di mana murid meminta siswa dan sekolah mulai peduli isu perempuan untuk level sekolahan. Kondisinya, Gonz sempat homogen, cowok semua. Dan, sampai generasi saya sifat dominasi laki-laki masih terasa dan kadang ada imbas tidak baik ke siswa perempuan.

Di generasi saya dan setelahnya juga sempat ada kampanye dan dialog antar siswa untuk stop rivalitas tidak sehat antara Gonz dan sekolah lain.

Saya dengar pas reuni kemarin, generasi Gonz sekarang tetap mengedepankan dialog. Murid, guru, pihak sekolah duduk bersama diskusi mengenai sebuah masalah, kadang mempertanyakan kebijakan sekolah. Seperti yang ditulis di artikel.

Jadi, kalau sekolah saya punya sikap kuat soal ini, saya nggak heran.
