LOS ANGELES: Ultra-endurance athlete Catherine Breed this week became the first person to swim California’s entire 900-mile (1,448 km) coastline, completing the journey from Oregon to Mexico in less than four months. Breed, 33, a San Francisco Bay Area native, confronted treacherous currents, storms, sharks and sewage as she swam a steady crawl stroke for up to five hours a day during her 111-day journey, according to organizers of the Swim California expedition. She was flanked throughout the
She barely knew anyone in the city, and relocating at 42 gave her a panic attack.
Moving to a new city while working for herself was hard, but it made her feel brave.
Last summer, I left my life in Connecticut behind and moved to Montreal on a whim, without a plan.
People told me I was brave.
Really? I'm a travel journalist. I've followed a snow leopard expert across Nepal; I've lived with a family in Uzbekistan who didn't speak English; and I've had a private encounter with the King of Bhutan.
Montreal is only a 6-hour drive from my hometown in Connecticut. It didn't seem brave to me. It seemed, frankly, safe.
Yet moving here at 42 gave me a panic attack. I hadn't been to Canada in more than 12 years and barely knew anyone.
After my parents dropped me off, we spent a few days exploring my new city together, where it's easy to get by without a car — it felt like the start of another semester abroad. Except this time, I was older and had no plans to leave.
The last time I'd been in Montréal with my parents was in the summer of 2003, before I left for a semester abroad in Hanoi. I had my first pho in Montréal's Chinatown.
So why Montreal?
A Facebook post on a full moon in May changed my life.
My lease in Ridgefield, Connecticut, was up. So was my relationship. My landlord wanted an extra $500 a month for the lofty, 1,100-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment in the woods that I had been sharing with my now-ex. That would bring the rent to $3,250 a month, not including utilities, which often reached $700 during the winter because of the high ceilings.
I saw all of this as signs to leave.
But I was about to write a check for $5,985 upfront for a $1,995-a-month, 900-square-foot, one-bedroom duplex nearby and buy a car.
Then a Canadian friend shared that her 638-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment near Montréal's Little Italy was available for 6 months at a writer-friendly rent: 1,100 Canadian dollars, or about $775 a month, including utilities, WiFi, furniture, and a beautiful patio. My friend is a professor and works abroad for half the year.
Ever since my first job at Tourisme Québec's New York office — the role that ultimately launched my travel-writing career — I'd wanted to live in Montreal. I also speak French. It seemed like a no-brainer, so I said "oui."
I found out that Americans can spend up to 6 months in Canada per visit. However, anyone who spends more than 183 days in the country in a calendar year may have to pay taxes. Foreign media workers like me also don't require a work permit. I consulted an immigration lawyer about staying in Canada.

My new life in Canada
Since moving, I've learned to row. I take weekly lessons at the Olympic Basin, where beginner courses cost CA$200 each. Gliding hundreds of meters solo in a scull has been one of the best antidotes to my anxiety. Socially, though, I should've joined the dragon boat team.
My neighborhood, La Petite-Patrie, is home to some of the city's top restaurants, including Vin Mon Lapin, Pasta Pooks, and Limbo. And Marché Jean-Talon — the largest open-air market north of Mexico — is my local grocer.
Some cultural highlights have included celebrating Jewish holidays at Leonard Cohen's shul, attending my first F1 race, cross-country skiing in Parc du Mont-Royal, and going to a hockey game solo.
Sure, there's been loneliness. There's been longing. It's not easy moving to a new city when you work for yourself. Nor is it easy being more than 10 minutes from my parents — and their delicious cooking. But I've also made new friends, hosted old friends, and opened my heart.
SEOUL: A shark that became a sensation after spending more than a month in a canal in the South Korean port of Busan was successfully guided back into the open sea on Wednesday, following two failed rescue attempts, the oceans ministry said. The shark, nicknamed “Bukangi,” was first spotted in a narrow waterway on September 18. More than 1.6 million people visited the waterfront park through October 20 to catch a glimpse of it, according to the Busan Infrastructure Corporation. Lee Min-jeun
The NBA returned to action yesterday, and I had two plays for us, and we started perfectly with wins in both games. It won't always be a rosy outlook, but it was nice to get off to a good start in the NBA. We had the appetizer of three great games yesterday, and today we have 11 different matchups to choose from. The first one I have circled is on ESPN as the Timberwolves take on the Heat.
The Minnesota Timberwolves should probably be given a little bit of credit for all of the tinkering they've done with their roster over the years. We see a lot of teams build a roster and then leave it alone for a few years to see if it will work out. The Timberwolves have given their team a chance, and then they adjust based on the results of the squad. For example, they've traded for Rudy Gobert, then they traded away Karl-Anthony Towns when the pairing didn't work. They realized they needed a point guard, and they traded for LaMelo Ball in the offseason.
The problem with the trade is that they got rid of one of their best players, Naz Reid, in the deal. He will be missed off the bench and in key moments. However, Ball should make the offense look a little more dynamic. Ball has plenty of flaws. He has terrible shot selection, seems to be a complete disaster on defense in isolation situations, and he is injury-prone. There is no denying his talent, though. When his shot is falling, he is elite. He is great in transition, and he will now be a second option to Anthony Edwards, who seems to already really like playing with him.
The Miami Heat come into this game with a new look as well. They still have some key mainstays like Erik Spoelstra as their coach. I've removed any doubt about his abilities. He seems to find a way to get things to work regardless of who he has on the roster. That doesn't mean they always win, but he certainly gets the most out of his team. Pat Riley is also willing to shake things up as he tries to get the team back to championship contention.
There is no doubt they are close again because they added one of the best players in basketball in the offseason with Giannis Antetokounmpo coming to the team. Giannis will now be the offensive force for the team. If you're going to question anything about the roster, the main question should be: where will the shooting come from? No one on the roster, outside of Klay Thompson, is a great 3-point shooter, and he is on the wrong side of his career to be relied on. Probably the same with Tim Hardaway Jr.
The Heat might have the best defensive five in basketball. Davion Mitchell is an elite defender, even if he doesn't get much recognition for it. Thompson and Wiggins have both likely lost a step, but both are still good defenders. Giannis and Bam are potential Defensive Player of the Year candidates. It is a bit hard to take the under in this game because the Timberwolves could absolutely be an offensive force, and no one really will stop Giannis on their team, but I think the Heat defense, plus the lack of 3-point shooting from Miami, give the under 238.5 a good shot.
Aux États-Unis, c'est la dernière ligne droite pour la campagne des midterms, les élections de mi-mandat du 3 novembre. Les votes anticipés ou par courrier montrent une forte participation avec 9 millions d’Américains qui se sont déjà prononcés. Donald Trump est en campagne et tente de reconquérir un électorat mécontent de sa politique des taxes douanières et de la guerre en Iran. Où en est la campagne à deux semaines du scrutin ? Quels sont les enseignements des votes anticipés ? Donald Trump peut-il encore convaincre ?
A Fiat foi escolhida para fornecer o veículo oficial que transportará o Papa Leão XIV durante sua visita apostólica ao Uruguai, agendada para ocorrer entre os dias 6 e 8 de novembro.
A conversão da picape média Titano no tradicional “papamóvel” está sendo executada nas instalações da Nordex, parceira industrial do grupo Stellantis em Montevidéu, com mão de obra especializada local.
A Fiat Titano, que transportará o Papa Leão XIV, passa por adaptações pedidas pelo Vaticano. O modelo terá laterais abertas, assento giratório ajustável, bancos para a comitiva, escada elétrica retrátil e cobertura transparente contra chuva. • Divulgação
Esta é a segunda vez que um modelo da marca italiana é adaptado para o transporte de um papa na América do Sul. Em julho de 2013, durante a Jornada Mundial da Juventude no Rio de Janeiro, o Papa Francisco utilizou um Fiat Idea adaptado, unidade que posteriormente passou a integrar o acervo histórico mantido pela fabricante.
Durante a agenda no país vizinho, o pontífice passará pelas cidades de Montevidéu, Paysandú e Florida, antes de seguir viagem para compromissos na Argentina e no Peru.
Sobre a Titano
Sob a carroceria modificada para os compromissos papais, a Fiat Titano utilizada no projeto pertence à linha produzida no polo automotivo de Córdoba, na Argentina. O utilitário é equipado com o motor 2.2 turbodiesel Multijet, que entrega 200 cv de potência e 450 Nm de torque, gerenciado por uma transmissão automática de oito velocidades.
A plataforma do modelo conta com tração integral com seletor eletrônico, suspensão calibrada para absorção de impactos em terrenos irregulares e sistema de freios a disco nas quatro rodas.
Na versão de rua mais equipada, a picape reúne assistências de condução do pacote ADAS, como frenagem autônoma de emergência e alerta de mudança de faixa, além de central multimídia com câmeras de visão 360 graus para manobras.
A Comunidade Intermunicipal do Alto Tâmega e Barroso (CIMAT) manifestou preocupação com a ausência da ministra da Saúde, Ana Paula Martins, de uma reunião em Lisboa para discutir políticas públicas de saúde para a região.
Em comunicado, assinado pela atual presidente da CIMAT, Fátima Fernandes, é explicado que a reunião “foi formalmente convocada pela senhora ministra da Saúde, tendo os presidentes de câmara municipal assegurado a sua presença”, no entanto, a reunião não se concretizou, uma vez que “não foram recebidos pela senhora ministra, tendo sido proposto, em alternativa, um encontro com o senhor secretário de Estado da Gestão da Saúde, Francisco Pinheiro Catalão”.
Perante esta situação, os autarcas dos seis municípios (Boticas, Chaves, Montalegre, Ribeira de Pena, Valpaços e Vila Pouca de Aguiar) entenderam que “não estavam reunidas as condições para um diálogo profícuo, ao nível da responsabilidade política e institucional que o tema exige”, nunca colocando em “causa a consideração institucional devida ao senhor secretário de Estado”.

O MAAT – Museu de Arte, Arquitetura e Tecnologia e o Atlético Clube de Portugal – Futebol, SAD lançaram, em julho, uma Open Call em que desafiaram criadores a apresentarem propostas para a requalificação do túnel que conduz ao estádio do Atlético. Objetivo? Apoiar artistas emergentes e promover o diálogo entre arte contemporânea, comunidade e espaço público.
A proposta vencedora, hoje anunciada, tem a assinatura da artista visual Dora Moneti Faggin, e inspira-se na relação histórica entre Alcântara e o Atlético Clube de Portugal, explorando os conceitos de pertença, diversidade e encontro. Na génese desta criação esteve um processo de escuta junto de pessoas ligadas ao bairro e ao clube, agora plasmado numa “instalação têxtil composta por tiras de vários tipos de tecido acetinados e telas usadas em barcos bordados à mão sobre rede metálica”, que cria “uma composição marcada pela cor, movimento e sobreposição de diferentes identidades”, conforme detalhado em comunicado.
A obra, intitulada “Torcidas”, será instalada na primavera de 2027, transformando um dos espaços mais simbólicos da ligação entre o bairro de Alcântara e o histórico clube lisboeta. A artista brasileira, radicada em Lisboa desde 2018, criou uma instalação, com mais de 10 metros de comprimento, que irá ocupar o teto e a parte superior das paredes do túnel. A paleta parte do azul, do vermelho e do amarelo do Atlético, com laranjas, roxos e rosas criando transições. O trabalho manual, realizado tira a tira, evoca também o cuidado cotidiano das pessoas que sustentam a vida do clube.
Este projeto dá continuidade à pesquisa de Dora Moneti Faggin, que aqui retoma ideias exploradas em instalações têxteis e esculturas de grande escala, concebidas em diálogo com lugares marcados pela sua história e arquitetura, como nas intervenções que fez no Chipre e na Turquia.
Para João Pinharanda, diretor do MAAT, “a proposta da artista foi destacada pela sua radical originalidade.” E prossegue, explicando que “o título da obra, ‘Torcida’ – termo brasileiro que, embora não muito utilizado em Portugal, é perfeitamente entendido entre nós – justifica a imagem que nos é apresentada: uma enorme extensão de panejamentos coloridos e entrelaçados estende-se desde o interior do túnel central de acesso ao estádio dele saindo como uma torrente de água ou de fogo – ou como um grito de apoio dos adeptos.”
Já Gifford Miller, Presidente e Chairman do Atlético Clube de Portugal – Futebol, SAD, destaca o carácter surpresa e inspirador da intervenção de Dora Moneti Faggin, que acredita ter o poder de transformar “a forma como este espaço tão especial é vivido por sócios, adeptos e jogadores. Ao levar a sua obra para o universo do desporto, lembramo-nos de que a arte é de todos e para todos.” E conclui dizendo que está “ansioso por vê-la instalada já nesta primavera” no Tapadinha.
O júri distinguiu ainda com menções honrosas os projetos “A Nossa Casa”, da artista visual Inês Castelo Branco, uma proposta centrada na memória, na pertença e na relação entre o clube e o bairro, e “Atar”, de Joana Tomás – Muro Atelier, que parte do gesto de atar os atacadores para simbolizar os laços que unem o Atlético Clube de Portugal a Alcântara, às diferentes gerações que fazem parte da sua história e, claro, aos seus adeptos.
Esta iniciativa enquadra-se no âmbito do projeto MAAT + Atlético, que cruza cultura artística e cultura desportiva, e que conta, em diferentes espaços do Tapadinha, com instalações de Joana Vasconcelos, Vhils e Bela Silva.
La deuda pública en la UE mantiene su camino inexorable al alza. No da grandes saltos, pero no cambia de tendencia. Y así ha llegado a una cantidad equivalente al 82,9% del producto interior bruto (PIB) de los Veintisiete durante la primera mitad del año. La cifra es todavía más alta si se toma solo la zona euro, un 88,8%, según la cifras divulgadas por Eurostat este miércoles. Este es el nivel más alto desde que se retiraban definitivamente buena parte de las medidas de apoyo a la economía que se aprobaron durante la covid-19.
