Flexibility is an essential part of staying fit. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. In your efforts to exercise, chances are you've worked on improving the four components of physical fitness. The problem is there are actually five . Criminally overlooked in the pursuit of big-ticket goals like strength, endurance, lung capacity and body composition is flexibility.

The Dating Apps Reporting Project is an 18-month investigation. It was produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center's AI Accountability Network and the Markup, now a part of CalMatters, and co-published with the Guardian and the 19th. When a young woman in Denver met up with a smiling cardiologist she matched with on the dating app Hinge, she had no way of knowing that the company behind the app had already received reports from two other women who had accused him of rape. She met the 34-year-old doctor with green eyes and thinning hair at Highland Tap & Burger, a sports bar in a trendy neighborhood. It went well enough that she accepted an invitation to go back to his apartment. As she emerged from his bathroom, he handed her a tequila soda. What transpired over the next 24 hours, according to court testimony, reads like every person's dating app nightmare. After sipping the drink, the woman started to lose control. She fell to the ground, and the man started to film her. He put her in a headlock, kissing her forehead; she struggled to free herself but managed to grab her things and leave. He followed her out the door, holding her shoes and trying to force her back inside, but she was able to call an Uber, vomiting in the car on the way home. She woke up at home, soaking wet on her bathroom floor, the key to her house still in her door. She continued vomiting for hours.

An estimated hundreds of thousands of rape kits sit untested in police departments nationwide, according to the Joyful Heart Foundation, a group that helps sexual assault victims. A Denver cardiologist has been charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a string of women he met on the dating apps Hinge and Tinder, court papers allege. Stephen Matthews, 35, was first arrested March 22 based on one victim's disturbing accusations. Widespread reports of the allegations prompted nine other women to come forward, officials said. On Monday, Matthews was arrested on the new charges outside the Denver District Courthouse after making an appearance on the initial case.

While its next-generation rocket has yet to fly, that's not stopping SpaceX from booking Starship flights. On Friday, a startup named Astrolab revealed that it had recently signed an agreement with Elon Musk's private space firm to reserve a spot on an uncrewed Starship cargo mission that could launch as early as mid-2026. "This is SpaceX's first commercial cargo contract to the lunar surface," Jaret Matthews, CEO of Astrolab, told The New York Times, adding his company was one of a few customers involved in the flight. Astrolab is building a vehicle it hopes will one day carry equipment, supplies and people across the lunar surface. The Flexible Logistics and Exploration (FLEX) rover is about the size of a Jeep Wrangler, making it a bit bigger than NASA's Perseverance rover on Mars.

Explainable artificial intelligence is an emerging and evolving concept. Its impact on construction, though yet to be realised, will be profound in the foreseeable future. Still, XAI has received limited attention in construction. As a result, no evaluation frameworks have been propagated to enable construction organisations to understand the what, why, how, and when of XAI. Our paper aims to fill this void by developing a content, context, process, and outcome evaluation framework that can be used to justify the adoption and effective management of XAI. After introducing and describing this novel framework, we discuss its implications for future research. While our novel framework is conceptual, it provides a frame of reference for construction organisations to make headway toward realising XAI business value and benefits.

It may look like a nightmare sequence from a science fiction film, but a network of fast-working robots is now hard at work in East London. British grocery giant Ocado is using an army of robots at its 563,000 square foot warehouse in Erith next to the Thames to gather up items for customer orders. More than 2,000 robots are working there non-stop for 20 hours a day, each picking up to 2 million food items in a shift – far beyond the capability of a human worker. The eight-wheeled robots scoot around a giant grid-like structure called the'Hive', so-called for its honeycomb-like holes that contain inventory. Powered by an algorithm, the robots pick up crates of items to take to a human to put into shopping bags for delivery.

Young cows have learned to urinate in a dedicated "latrine" that whisks the waste away before it can pollute waterways or trigger the release of harmful gases. What's more, nitrous oxide that arises when livestock urine and faeces mix can cause respiratory problems and contribute to global warming. By training cattle to void directly into a sort of "cow toilet", however, Lindsay Matthews at the University of Auckland in New Zealand and his colleagues have potentially found a way to keep water and air cleaner, improving health and welfare for both humans and animals. Matthews's team taught 16 5-month-old Holstein heifers to use a custom-built, plastic-grass-floored latrine when they felt the need to urinate, using a three-step training process. First, the team placed pairs of calves in the latrine until they urinated; then gave them a treat – either diluted molasses or barley – through an automatic dispenser and opened the exit door.

By the time Aelita Andre turned three, she had more art-world accolades than many professional artists. She started painting at nine months old, and galleries were showing her work when she was just two. Now 14 years old, the Australian abstract artist is still going strong; she just closed her most recent solo show in South Korea this month. Most children are innately creative and curious. But some are obsessively so and as adults end up transforming their field--or the world.

When it comes to artificial intelligence healthcare solutions, it's important to manage expectations for consumers and users. "The first thing that's important to realise is that AI isn't magic," said David Champeaux, chief growth officer, Cherish Health, during a panel at the HIMSS & Health 2.0 Europe Digital Conference. Though AI can improve people's lives, said Champeaux, developers and stakeholders shouldn't overstate its capabilities. The panel, 'AI Solutions for Consumers', was moderated by Orcha cofounder Tim Andrews and featured Medical Realities cofounder and Chief Medical Officer Prof Shafi Ahmed, ResApp Health CEO Tony Keating, Skinvision business development director Gavin Matthews, and IESO Digital Health Chief AI Officer Valentin Tablan. Champeaux noted that AI tools can, and should, be designed in ways to augment or facilitate an existing routine. To that end, he stressed that tools should be designed to fit the life of a user, not the other way around.

Long before the world had ever heard of covid-19, Kay Tye set out to answer a question that has taken on new resonance in the age of social distancing: When people feel lonely, do they crave social interactions in the same way a hungry person craves food? And could she and her colleagues detect and measure this "hunger" in the neural circuits of the brain? "Loneliness is a universal thing. If I were to ask people on the street, 'Do you know what it means to be lonely?' probably 99 or 100% of people would say yes," explains Tye, a neuroscientist at the Salk Institute of Biological Sciences. "It seems reasonable to argue that it should be a concept in neuroscience. It's just that nobody ever found a way to test it and localize it to specific cells. That's what we are trying to do."
