Inspiring Quotes for Thursday, May 08, 2025
Pay attention to what you pay attention to. ~ Amy Krouse Rosenthal Anyone considering a career change might tire of people telling them, ¡°Do what you love, and the rest will follow.¡± How can you be so sure? What counts as ¡°love"? This is work we¡¯re talking about! For anyone looking less for a passion project and more for what they¡¯d be really good at, author Amy Krouse Rosenthal tweeted this advice in 2013. It¡¯s deceptively Zen: If you watch your mind at work, you¡¯ll start to notice patterns of thought, which will show you where your strengths are. It¡¯ll also be good practice for when you do finally land that new gig, since good work does ¡ª always and necessarily ¡ª require focus and attention. Mary Live long and prosper

May 8, 2025 SUPPORTED BY Pop quiz: What makes you happy? That might sound like a big topic for first thing in the morning, but The New York Times broke down the age-old query into 16 simple questions in a recent quiz, developed with the expertise of professors David Almeida and Susan Charles. The results of the assessment are meant to help you figure out what happiness looks like for you and ¡°which kind of well-being you tend to value most.¡± Must Reads A reimagined take on a classic novel won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for fiction ? The Golden Globes introduced a new category for a modern form of storytelling Health Exercise May Be a Secret Weapon Against Negative Effects of Cancer Treatment: Study dragana991/ iStock There¡¯s no doubt exercise is good for your heart, bones, balance, and brain. And a new study found that physical activity can also mitigate some side effects of cancer treatment, such as brain fog and heart and nerve damage. ? While prior research has shown that exercise can be generally helpful during cancer treatment, this study went a step further and systematically analyzed data from randomized controlled trial results published between 2012 and 2024. The takeaway: Exercise (e.g., tai chi, yoga, high-intensity and interval training) not only reduced adverse effects often associated with cancer and its treatment, but also improved psychological well-being, body composition, and overall quality of life. ? ¡°In conclusion, this study reinforces the efficacy of incorporating exercise into cancer treatment protocols,¡± the researchers wrote. Of course, every cancer patient has their own journey and circumstances, so there¡¯s no one-size-fits-all workout plan. ? ¡°It¡¯s important to take things at your own pace and do activities that are right for you,¡± Celene Doherty, a specialist cancer information nurse at Cancer Research U.K., who was not involved with the study, told The Guardian. She added that patients interested in learning more should speak to their doctors and care team.

Fw: Wordsmith (5/08/2025): A.Word.A.Day -- Autocephality
Wordsmith.orgThe magic of words MooT - the Semantics and Etymology game The world's toughest language game. mootgame.com Sponsor's message May 8, 2025 This week¡¯s theme Words with all the vowels This week¡¯s words elucidatory questionary cylindraceous autocephality Illustration: Anu Garg + AI A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg autocephality PRONUNCIATION: (ah-to-suh-FAL-i-tee) MEANING: noun: Self-rule. ETYMOLOGY: From Greek auto- (self) + -cephal (head). NOTES: Autocephality is a fancy word for self-governance. It¡¯s especially used in the context of Eastern Orthodox Churches that independently govern their spiritual affairs without a higher ecclesiastical authority. Think of it as running their own spiritual show. No higher-ups pulling the incense strings. Not to be confused with autocephalopods. Those would be self-governing squids. USAGE: ¡°Autocephality in Bulgaria and the rest of the Balkans made the churches a tool for nationalist propaganda and war in the nineteenth century.¡± Alex Moldovan ; The Orthodox Church and a Very Balkan Affair; OpenDemocracy (London, UK); Nov 5, 2018. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear. -Harry S.

Fw: The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 10 Recap: MAY 7
From: Sharon Pohlman The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 10 Recap: Remaining teams arrive in Europe, where they face water jousting followed by an elimination Story by Gira Rathod The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 10 aired on May 7, 2025. The latest episode, titled, Up the River Without a Joust featured various tasks including a water joust, cheese identification, traditional laundry, building a nest, and more. While a few teams struggled with navigation, for some of them, doing laundry the traditional way turned out to be a difficult task. During one of the challenges, Alyssa and Josiah used their express pass, which they had obtained from the previous episode. The tenth episode of The Amazing Race Season 37 ended with Brett and Mark's elimination. It happened after they had navigation issues and were the last to arrive at the destination. The Amazing Race Season 37 Episode 10 Recap: Teams arrive in France, where they go through a series of challenges, which ended with one team going home The tenth episode of The Amazing Race Season 37 started with the remaining teams heading to the next stop, Frankfurt, Germany. For that, they took a flight, followed by a train to Strasbourg, France. The last episode featured Ana and Jonathan finishing first, hence they were the first ones, followed by Brett and Mark. Soon, Alyssa and Josiah also got there. Carson and Jack were in fourth place while Han and Holden were last. Even though everyone started at different times, they were all on the same flight. Alyssa and Josiah still had an express pass from the ninth episode. Up next on The Amazing Race, participants were supposed to get in their designated cars and drive to the Council of Europe for the next clue. While Brett and Mark couldn't figure out the correct path, Han and Holden were the first team to arrive. Soon, the rest of the teams also arrived, but Brett and Mark were still lost en route. After answering the question correctly, the teams would get their next clue. For that, the question was to list countries they have visited that are part of the Council of Europe. The correct answer was Italy, France, Germany, and Bulgaria. Carson-Jack, Han-Holded, and Ana-Jonathan answered it correctly, while Alyssa-Josiah, after two incorrect answers, got it.The teams' next destination on The Amazing Race Season 37 was Pont Couverts, while Brett and Mark were still lost. Han and Holden were the first team to arrive at Pont Couverts, where teams were supposed to participate in a water jousting. In the order of arrival, one member of each team will face the other team member in the river during the water jousting. For that, The Amazing Race participants had to knock down their opponent in the river. While the winning team advances in the competition, the losing team participates again with the next arriving team. Those who do not win any round would face a ten-minute penalty. The first round was between Han and Carson, which the latter lost. On the other hand, Mark and Brett were still on their way. The next match was between Carson and Jonathan, where nobody was knocked down, but Jonathan lost his balance and fell into the river. It resulted in Carson's win. The next head-to-head was between Josiah and Jonathan, which the latter won. It resulted in the final match between Josiah and Mark, which Josiah won. After Han and Holden won, they received the next clue: to go to La Cloche a Fromage. The rest of the teams also joined them later on. They had to reach a cheese shop and learn the names of 9 types of cheese, and identify them. Although Brett and Mark were the last team to arrive at the cheese shop with their 10-minute penalty, the rest of the teams were still there. Han and Holden were the first team to name all 9 types of cheese, followed by Carson and Jack. The next team to succeed was Ana and Jonathan, followed by others. The next Detour was Strasbourg Cathedral, where Alyssa and Josiah used their express pass. For that, teams had two options: Out to Dry and For the Birds. The first one was a bucket full of laundry, which needed to b
