This is my personal website. We study, investigate and scrutinise scientific papers and broadcasting news to check what current ideas seem to be valid. Historical research is a very important tool that is undervalued and misunderstood currently. We do not depend on politics, our only policy is didatics. Philosophy is the mother of all sciences.

RSS Feeds may be unstable in the next few days. Please be patient.
If you find problems, remove and add my feeds in you reader again. If you want and have got time, please send feedback (suggestions and/or opinions) about the RSS Feed to me.
Improved the navigation system. Also changed the navigation system of blog pages, which use W3.CSS framework.. Now our website has got an RSS Feed!
I will run the spellcheck on my website pages sometimes, however please take no notice on spelling mistakes or let me know by e-mail, I will be pleased to fix that. I don't have a means to make my bad grammar into good grammar other than re-reading the text myself sometimes.
You can check a silly page I'm making. I am having fun with HTML and CSS and hopefully learning some more of that. But also because web pages made by real HTML amateurs are sort of special..

A grandeza da obra deverá sobrepor-se a todos e a tudo, nomeadamente à comunicação social. O alarido não enalteceu nem o momento nem a obra do túnel do Marão. Mas quem vai receber os louros? Quem inaugurou, quem iniciou, quem acompanhou, quem suspendeu ou quem esteve presente e, sem merecer, quis ser o candidato principal à coroa de louros? Parece-me que todos se esqueceram dos mil trabalhadores que escavaram os quase seis quilómetros de montanha.
- --Luis Ferreira, Who deserves glory?.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
- --Leonard H. Courtney

Como intelectual, tenho que me habituar a estar sozinho. Nã tenho que me preocupar com quem me acompanha. Não é prórpio do intelectual se tem apoio ou não. São as posições das ideas, a coragem de defendê-las até o fim.
As an intellectual, I have got to get used to being alone. I need not worry about whoever follows me. That is not proper of the intellectual to worry about whether he has got support or not, but the position of ideas, courage to defend them until the end.

Jorge sentou praça na cavalaria. Eu estou feliz por que eu também, talvez, estou na sua compania. Eu estou vestido com as roupas e as armas de Jorge. Para que meus inimigos tenham mãos, não me toquem. Para que meus inimigos tenham pés. Não me alcançem. Para que meus inimigos tenham olhos e não me vejam. E nem mesmo o pensamento eles possam ter para me fazerem mal.
- --Jorge Ben Jor, Jorge de Capadócia
