"Plus je vieillis et plus je trouve qu'on ne peut vivre qu'avec les êtres qui vous libèrent, et qui vous aiment d'une affection aussi légère à porter que forte à éprouver."
Albert Camus

Prince performing "Purple Rain" in Syracuse (1985)
This is by far one of Prince's greatest performances.
There will never be another. This man was a genius.

ANECDOTE : Mais qui était donc cette figure encapuchonnée qui parcourait les toits de Paris avec la flamme olympique lors de la #ceremoniedouverture ?
Il s’agit de @SimonNogueira ! Un créateur de contenu, professionnel de parkour et de freerun sur les toits de Paris 😍
This very rare form of rainbow is called a fire rainbow, caused by the angle of the sunlight hitting cirrus ice crystals in the atmosphere. This was spotted June 5 in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.
Une flamme électrique, sans combustible, pour la vasque de Paris 2024 : c'est l'innovation que le monde a découvert lors de la cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024.
On est allé chez EDF pour découvrir comment une équipe de designers a réalisé cette prouesse, accompagnés d’Alain Bernard, l'un des derniers athlètes à s'être avancé vers la vasque, double champion olympique et ambassadeur du Team EDF.

The evolution of tennis through the wear and tear of the grass in the Wimbledon finals
In any image of the finals of the 70s, 80s and 2000s you can see how the grass is very worn both in the baseline and in the volley area. And it is not just that now the gardeners have better technologies for the care of the grass that avoid wear, there is also an explanation of the evolution of tennis at a technical level
Previously on grass the main strategy of tennis players was the serve and volley. Back then, the Wimbledon grass in the volley area barely made it to the final. In recent years the service boxes are pristine on the last day of the tournament and it is the baseline area that is more sand than grass
The explanation is simple: serve and volley are no longer used as before. Wooden rackets were more suitable for this style of play, they were heavier and it was impossible to finish the point from the back of the court, so they tried to win at the net
Wooden rackets stopped being used at the end of the 80s and in the 90s, with the revolution of carbon fiber, graphite and other material rackets, the type of game changed. Since then, the game from the back of the court has become the norm on the circuit. With the evolution of materials and physical preparation, today's tennis players follow a common pattern: they are tall, hit hard from both sides, serve very hard and finish points at the back of the court.
