Daily Edition ? April 14, 2025 SUPPORTED BY How much do you focus on agility in your workouts? The ability to move quickly and with ease is an important part of staying fit as you age — particularly when it comes to avoiding falls — but agility training often gets overlooked in exercise routines. “You’ll feel the mental confidence of your training first, feeling comfortable moving faster,” strength and conditioning coach Brett Poniros told The New York Times. “Then you’ll see the physiological change.” Try the outlet’s 20-minute agility workout.?

Fido would approve of this oh-so-charming home decor Environment FDA Unveils Pilot Program to Phase Out Animal Testing Jessica Rinaldi/The Boston Globe via Getty Images Over the past few years, the Food and Drug Administration has gradually reduced its dependence on animal testing. But now the agency is going a step further, sharing plans to phase out animal testing requirements — and instead facilitate the use of AI-based models and other “more effective, human-relevant” tools to predict a drug’s behavior and possible side effects. ? The newly announced pilot program allows select developers of monoclonal antibodies and other drugs to use a non-animal-based strategy, such as computer modeling or organ-on-a-chip systems, rather than having to prove that a new medication or treatment works on animals — the standard practice for decades. ? Beyond addressing ethics concerns, the change could be a win for humans: “This initiative marks a paradigm shift in drug evaluation and holds promise to accelerate cures and meaningful treatments for Americans while reducing animal use,” Commissioner Marty Makary said in a statement, noting drug prices could also be reduced. ? As for animal rights advocates, it’s a move many years in the making. “It’s a significant step towards meeting the agency’s commitment to replace the use of animals,” said senior vice president of PETA Kathy Guillermo.

Fw: Wordsmith (4/14/2025): A.Word.A.Day -- Nithing
Wordsmith.orgThe magic of words MooT - the Semantics and Etymology game The world's toughest language game. mootgame.com Sponsor's message Apr 14, 2025 This week’s theme Insults This week’s words nithing A nithing pole, in fiction (video, 3 min) Norsemen TV series A nithing pole, for real (video, 1 min) Norwegian politician & anarchist ?ystein Meier Johannessen Previous week’s theme Toponyms A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg I dream of a world without war. I know, I ask too much. Maybe I can dream of a world in which people fight with words instead of swords (or their modern equivalent). In my fantasy, battles are fought not with bombs but barbs. Each side lines up its choicest vocabulary, ready to sling some serious shade. Anything goes. Four-letter fusillades. Eight-syllable juggernauts. Insults that smite ancestors, mock gods, diss their dog, and question their taste in music. Nothing is sacred. I’m in the word business, so I may be a little biased here, but I believe it’s better than dropping bombs on hospitals. I believe it’s better than kids growing up with the trauma of living in a war zone. It’s better than people having to learn to live with one or more missing limbs. If we must go to battle, I’ll supply you with the ammunition. I’ve got words, a whole arsenal. Words sharp as stilettos and blunt as frying pans. Words Shakespeare used to verbally slap people across the face. Words that just last Tue, someone coined while half-drunk in a dive bar. This week we’ll serve up five insults. Think of them as renewable verbal energy. Sling ‘em again and again. They don’t run out, though they might dull with overuse. And then I’ll be standing by with a fresh batch, forged in the fire of etymological mischief. nithing PRONUNCIATION: (NY-thing, second syllable as in clothing) MEANING: noun:1. A coward. 2. An outlaw. 3. A miser. adjective:1. Cowardly. 2. Treacherous. 3. Miserly. ETYMOLOGY: From Old English nithing, from Old Norse nidhingr, from nidh (scorn). Earliest documented use: before 1150. See also, niddering. NOTES: Back in the day, if someone called you a nithing, they weren’t inviting you to tea. They were challenging your honor, your bravery, and your generosity, all in one fell swoop. In Viking culture they have something called a nithing pole in which one mounts a horse’s head on a pole and plants it outside a scorned person’s house as a magical middle finger. All I have to say is: leave the horse out of it. USAGE: “Surely there must be one among this crowd of nithings who has the guts to face a woman in combat?” Joanna Fulford; Surrender To The Viking; Mills & Boon Historical; 2014. A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Civilizations in decline are consistently characterized by a tendency towards standardization and uniformity. -Arnold Toynbee, historian (14 Apr 1889-1975) Got a comment?

Fw: Astronomy Picture of the Day (4/13/202t5): An Unusual Hole in Mars
Astronomy Picture of the Day Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2025 April 13 An Unusual Hole in Mars Image Credit: NASA, MRO, HiRISE, JPL, U. Arizona Explanation: What created this unusual hole in Mars? Actually, there are numerous holes pictured in this Swiss cheese-like landscape, with all-but-one of them showing a dusty, dark, Martian terrain beneath evaporating, light, carbon dioxide ice. The most unusual hole is on the upper right, spans about 100 meters, and seems to punch through to a lower level. Why this hole exists and why it is surrounded by a circular crater remains a topic of speculation, although a leading hypothesis is that it was created by a meteor impact. Holes such as this are of particular interest because they might be portals to lower levels that extend into expansive underground caves. If so, these naturally occurring tunnels are relatively protected from the harsh surface of Mars, making them relatively good candidates to contain Martian life. These pits are therefore also prime targets for possible future spacecraft, robots, and even human interplanetary explorers.
