"The planet you are sitting on right now, as unbelievable as it seems, slowly pieced together by the collisions of endless cosmic scraps over millions of years. Formed by nothing more than the force of gravity, dust became rock, rock became boulder, and boulder became a molten lump so vast it would pull itself into the near-perfect sphere that we know and inhabit today."

"Life on Earth is a glorious abundance, richly diverse and phenomenally complex and interconnected. Our seas sparkle with fish species, our skies ring with the cries of birds and our forests are shaded by towering trees. It's worth taking a moment to appreciate how fantastic and how unlikely all this life really is, and to consider how we can protect and support it all for our futures."

"We are just one species among 10m. At the same time, though, we are unique in our ability to interact with one another in a way that enables us to make an impact on the entire planet and every other species. We have also, uniquely, evolved the capacity to evaluate our actions logically and morally from a greater perspective. With this insight comes great responsibility, and it is time for us to shoulder that responsibility – because nature is all we have, and all we are."
Anne Sverdrup-Thygeson

The Routledge Handbook on Biochemistry of Exercise by Peter M. Tiidus, 2020

From its early beginnings in the 1960s, the academic field of biochemistry of exercise has expanded beyond examining and describing metabolic responses to exercise and adaptations to training to include a wide understanding of molecular biology, cell signalling, interorgan communication, stem cell physiology...

taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1





...and a host of other cellular and biochemical mechanisms regulating acute responses and chronic adaptations related to exercise performance, human health/disease, nutrition, and cellular functioning.  

The Routledge Handbook on Biochemistry of Exercise is the first book to pull together the full depth and breadth of this subject and to update a rapidly expanding field of study with current issues and controversies and a look forward to future research directions. Bringing together many experts and leading scientists, the book emphasizes the current understanding of the underlying metabolic, cellular, genetic, and cell signalling mechanisms associated with physical activity, exercise, training, and athletic performance as they relate to, interact with, and regulate cellular and muscular adaptations and consequent effects on human health/disease, nutrition and weight control, and human performance.

With more emphasis than ever on the need to be physically active and the role that being active plays in our overall health from a whole-body level down to the cell, this book makes an important contribution for scholars, medical practitioners, nutritionists, and coaches/trainers working in research and with a wide range of clients. This text is important reading for all students, scholars, and others with an interest in health, nutrition, and exercise/training in general.

Tigers Between Empires: The Improbable Return of Great Cats to the Forests of Russia and China by Jonathan C. Slaght,

The thrilling saga of the great Amur tiger and the scientists who came together, across the world, to save it.

The forests of northeast Asia are home to a marvelous range of animals—fish owls and brown bears, musk deer and moose, wolves and raccoon dogs, leopards and tigers.






But by the final years of the Cold War, only a few hundred tigers stepped quietly through the snow of the Amur River basin.

Soon, the Soviet Union fell, bringing catastrophe; without the careful oversight of a central authority, poaching and logging took a fast, astonishing toll on an already vulnerable species.
Just as these changes arrived, scientists came together to found the Siberian Tiger Project. Led by Dale Miquelle, a moose researcher, and Zhenya Smirnov, a mouse biologist, the team captured and released more than 114 tigers over three decades.

"AMUR TIGERS, popularly called Siberian tigers, are paradoxes of grace and violence. These lithe, elegant creatures regard their surroundings with the dispassionate air of royalty. They are also predators, evolved to slip unnoticed across the landscape; to insert themselves like puzzle pieces among rises, rocks, shadows, and trees; to position themselves as close as possible to a grazing deer or a resting boar before showing a burst of speed and force to incapacitate their target."

Wakara's America by Max Perry Mueller, 2025

The forgotten life and complex legacies of Wakara, the mighty, once-notorious Native leader whose battles and conquests shaped the American West

The Native American leader Wakara (ca. 1815–1855) was among the most influential and feared men in the nineteenth-century American West, famed as a fierce warrior, a merciless trader of Indian slaves, and history’s greatest horse thief.






In Wakara's America, historian Max Perry Mueller illuminates Wakara’s complex and sometimes paradoxical story, revealing a man who both helped build the settler American West and defended Native sovereignty. Wakara was baptized a Mormon and allied with Mormon settlers against other Indians to seize their land.

 マイクロソフトなどの大企業は赤字を補填できるだけの資金力があるものの、スタートアップは収益化はまだまだ遠いと聞く。投資家が「もういいや」ってなったらAIバブルが崩壊するかもとかなんとか言っているけど、蓋をあけたらまたテック富豪を肥え太らせるだけになる可能性もあるのかね?AIと人間との資源の競合はすでに起きているから人びとはやせ細り、大企業AIばかりがぶくぶくと太る未来がやってきませんか?

 …と生成AIに投げてみたら「「AIが生んだ富をどう分配するか」という政治的・社会的な合意形成が、今まさに正念場を迎えていると言えます。」と返ってきた。AIの方がテック富豪たちよりも倫理的かもしれない…。(ぐるぐる目)

>米IT大手オラクルが予定しているデータセンター建設を巡り、ファンドが資金拠出を取りやめると伝わり、投資家がAI関連への警戒感を強めた。

Animal lovers, have you ever heard of the zebra duiker (Cephalophus zebra)? This small ungulate can be found in parts of West Africa, including Liberia. Adults typically weigh up to 44 lbs (20 kg)—no larger than a medium-sized dog! This critter’s diet includes hard-shelled fruits, which it cracks open using a thick bone in its skull. Its signature stripes help it hide from predators, and it is rarely seen in the wild.

W5: The Soul Nebula

Stars are forming in the Soul of the Queen of Aethopia. More specifically, a large star forming region called the Soul Nebula can be found in the direction of the constellation Cassiopeia. Also known as Westerhout 5 (W5), the Soul Nebula houses several open clusters of stars, ridges and pillars darkened by cosmic dust, and huge evacuated bubbles formed by the winds of young massive stars.

Image Credit & Copyright: Jeffrey Horne



Located about 6,500 light years away, the Soul Nebula spans about 100 light years and is usually imaged next to its celestial neighbor the Heart Nebula (IC 1805). The featured image, taken from near Nashville, Tennessee, USA, is a composite of 234 hours of exposures made in different colors: red as emitted by hydrogen gas, yellow as emitted by sulfur, and blue as emitted by oxygen.

Behold the dazzling colors of the black-and-gold sapsucking slug (Cyerce nigricans). This sea slug secretes an unappetizing mucus to dissuade predators. When threatened, it can drop its colorful cerata, or leaf-like outgrowths, to create a distraction. This species is found in the western Indian and Pacific Oceans, where it dwells on coral or rocky reefs and snacks on algae.

Gaza children face worsening hardship amid restrictions on aid

Children in Gaza face no respite as severe weather, due to Storm Byron, worsens the already dire humanitarian situation.

“Whilst the storm is a natural hazard, its consequences are man-made for a population forced to live amid collapsing ruins in makeshift shelters or in flimsy tents,” Philippe Lazzarini posted on X.

“Much, much more could be done if aid was allowed to flow in unimpeded.”

まあそれはそれとして AP サーバホスティング同士でもっと気軽にデータ移行できるような標準アーカイブ形式みたいなのを整備して、エンドユーザはドメインだけ所有しておけばホスティング業者が潰れてもどうにかなるみたいな環境になると嬉しいねというのはある、誰が音頭を取るのかという問題はあるが…… (まあ実装を変更しないならいち実装の中で使えるもので十分有用なので希望はある)

I remember a friend who worked at a company that made a popular browser, and complained that I didn't have any "skin in the game" when I constantly complained about the browser the company was building.

Great guy, but I could not accept "be quiet, you are not part of this" when I am a browser user, web user, former-web developer (1995-2010) and just a person who gives a shit about privacy, security, and enshittification in general.
