The FAA said yesterday that it will stop using floppy disks as part of a long-awaited upgrade that will give air traffic controllers faster access to data needed for crucial safety alerts. The new Enterprise Information Display System (E-IDS) will be installed in 435 facilities, replacing several information display systems dating to the 1980s. FAA […]
Our findings broadly establish companion dogs as a translational model for uncovering molecular mechanisms of lifespan variation, epigenomic instability, and age-related disease. We demonstrate that shorter-lived dogs do not merely die earlier; they undergo accelerated molecular aging specific to genomic locations and structures. Thus, lifespan variation within a species is reflected not only in the […]
Gallup estimates roughly 40 million Americans are taking a GLP-1 medication. Those patients didn’t all stop. Many moved to compounded or gray-market versions, paid cash, and quietly walked out of the system that used to keep an eye on them. Insurers didn’t stop covering lab work. But when patients leave the insured pathway for their […]
America’s Poison Centers logged 862 exposures to retatrutide in the three months ending in September, up from 460 in the prior three months and 249 in the first three months of 2026, CBS News reported. The FDA has also received two reports of people who died after taking products sold as retatrutide, an experimental Eli […]
“Casual, careless use of general-purpose GenAI can threaten the very learning processes necessary for committing new ideas to memory… and also the higher-order thinking needed to deeply understand and use these ideas in novel ways,” report authors wrote. Kendeou said experts expressed extra caution when it comes to introducing AI to primary school students because […]
I’m glad they survived! And what our pups?
Hydrangeas. When I learned how the baby plants (pups) are created by the parent I decided to try growing some. I tend to kill most things I try to plant in the yard. Hence my level of amazement that these little ones survived.
I hope to plant a hydrangea in my yard this year what do you recommend? I’d like to put it in the backyard where it’s pretty shady. It would get some afternoon sun. Do you think it might do OK there?
I’m not an expert on gardening and would normally defer to someone else to answer this question. But with the help of The Google I’ve learned some simple tips. Shady is good. This plant does not like full sun. Soil with good drainage. Prune off dead stalks as you head towards the winter months. And when you find little pups in the spring hiding beneath the parent canopy snip them off, extract from the ground and transfer to tiny pots to allow the root systems to grow.
