What the ‘murder’ of Washington Post means for India
The Washington Post’s layoffs aren’t just an American media story. As foreign bureaus close and global coverage shrinks, countries like India lose one more watcher – and we’re reminded how fragile journalism becomes when it rests in the hands of billionaires.

Two attempts to simply extrapolate the brightness of #Kreutz comet C/2026 A1 (MAPS) from what happened in the past few weeks, from all visual observations reported to COBS (left) and from all CCD observations of the past month which would have the brightness climb a bit faster. But as the previous post in the thread has shown even in the geometrically preferred southern hemisphere MAPS is lost in twilight from about March 30 to April 7 - and even in the optimistic model the comet has reached only 6th magnitude when it is lost and is down again to 5th when it is recovered: unless something drastic would happen *all* hope for an interesting show rests on a possible post-perihelion dust tail. Good luck ...

Balancing training load, rest and musculoskeletal injury risk: a mathematical modelling study in Thoroughbred racehorses

arXiv:2603.22680v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) in Thoroughbred racehorses are a leading cause of death and premature retirement in racehorses and are heavily influenced by training practices. Greater distances of high-speed galloping accumulated during racing campaigns are associated with MSI. Bone injury is the most common MSI, and understanding how training practices influence bone damage accumulation is critical for improving both horse welfare and racing outcomes. This study builds on an existing mathematical model of bone adaptation and damage to investigate the impact of different training programs on bone injury risk. Several training programs (three progressive, four race-fit, six rest programs and two with rest replaced by low-intensity training) were constructed to reflect representative practices undertaken by professional trainers in Victoria, Australia. Training programs varied in training volume, rest frequency and program duration. Lower volume training programs that included high-speed training, achieved sufficient bone adaptation with less accumulation of bone damage, and subsequently lower risk of bone failure. In addition, incorporating more frequent rests (at least 2 per year) and/or longer rest periods (at least 6 weeks) reduced bone damage due to the extended opportunity to remove and repair bone damage. These results provide an in-silico mathematical model of the bone response to training, demonstrating the effects of training programs on bone adaptation, damage formation and repair. The findings can guide the design of training programs that balance both bone adaptation and bone health throughout horses racing career.
