Many people judge their fitness by how much they weigh, how visible their abs are, or how much they can lift in the gym. While those things can tell you something, they rarely provide the full picture. True fitness is much broader. It includes your heart and lungs, muscles, joints, nervous system, recovery ability, and even how efficiently your body performs everyday tasks. Someone who cannot bench press twice their body weight may still have excellent cardiovascular health, mobility, and muscular endurance. Likewise, someone with an impressive physique may struggle with basic measures of overall health. Exercise scientists increasingly emphasize…

A hospital is brought to its knees, not by a natural disaster or mass casualty event, but by a cyberattack. Screens go dark. The network collapses. Young physicians, trained in a digital-first world, are suddenly reduced to fumbling with fax machines. Lab orders vanish into piles of paper. Communication fractures at every level. And in the chaos, a life-threatening diagnosis is missed.  Fans of HBO Max’s The Pitt may recognize this as the plot of an episode from this season, but unfortunately, scenes like this aren’t fictional. They’re playing out across the country more and more, as cyberattacks on healthcare organizations reach staggering highs.  In 2025 alone, the sector faced more than 700 reported attacks, putting more than 50…

In contrast, this year’s scaled down event took place in a nondescript courtyard with no warships whatsoever…

Shrouded in myth and pride, the conception of the Revolutionary War is of redcoats marching stiffly through fields and woods while being picked off by wily colonists hiding behind trees, all to the tune of Johnny Horton’s “The Battle of New Orleans” (“we fired our guns, and the British kept a-coming”).But as America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, it is easy to forget that independence was not guaranteed. As they shivered at Valley Forge in the winter of 1778, George Washington and his troops would have scoffed at the notion that victory would come on a…
