아침 첫발 내디딜 때 짜릿…여름철 ‘이 질환’ 주의

무더운 날씨에도 걷기와 달리기 운동을 밤낮없이 즐기는 사람이 늘고 있다. 러닝을 즐기기 위해 신발을 선택하는데 있어 대부분 기능과 멋을 최우선으로 생각한다. 하지만 간과해서는 안 될 것이 있다. 바로 발 건강이다. 러닝화를 선택할 때 쿠션감이 없는 러닝화를 고르게 되면 족저근막염에 노출되기 쉽기 때문이다. 6일 의료계에 따르면 족저근막염은 예전에는 무겁고 딱딱한 군화를 신고 활동을 하던 군인들에게서 많이 발생했던 질환이다. 최근에는 러닝 바람이 불면서 다양한 러닝화들을 쉽게 만날 수 있다. 소재의 발달로 충분한 쿠셔닝을 느끼게 해주는 러닝화들이 많지만 러닝 전, 충분한 스트레칭을 하지 않거나 러닝 후, 피로도가 쌓인 발목을 위해 충분한 휴식을 취하지 않는다면 족저근막염 질환에 노출될 확률이 높아진다. 족저근막염이란 발바닥의 족저근막이라는 섬유띠에 염증이 생기는 질환을 말한다. 마라톤이나 등산, 조깅과 같은 과도한 운동을 하거나 과체중이 있을 때 자주 발생하고 신발 밑창

배재고 논란속 “광주일고 폭파” 협박글, 수사 착수

경기 도중 5·18민주화운동을 희화화하는 조롱성 응원을 배재고 야구부로부터 들었던 광주제일고에 폭발물을 설치했다는 글이 온라인 커뮤니티에 올라와 경찰이 수사에 착수했다. 5일 광주 북부경찰서 등에 따르면 경찰은 전날 오전 11시 50분경 광주제일고에 폭발물을 설치했다는 내용의 글이 게시됐다는 신고를 접수했다. 신고자는 온라인 커뮤니티에 “광주(제)일고에 폭탄을 설치했다. 배재고 청소년들의 미래를 짓밟았다”는 내용의 협박성 글을 발견해 경찰에 신고한 것으로 전해졌다. 현장에 출동한 경찰과 소방은 광주제일고를 2시간 동안 수색했지만 폭발물은 발견되지 않았다. 당시 학교에 있던 교직원과 학생 등 20여 명이 대피하는 등 소란이 빚어졌다. 경찰은 공중협박 등 혐의를 적용해 작성자에 대한 수사에 착수했다. 경찰청은 이날 “이러한 행위는 학생들의 학습권을 침해하고 국민들의 평온한 일상을 훼손하는 명백한 범죄에 해당된다”며 “향후 관련 학교나 학생들을 상대로 음해 또는 명예훼손하는 게시글을

K팝 팬들은 이제 공연장이나 팬사인회 현장에 가지 않아도 스마트폰 하나로 좋아하는 아티스트와 실시간으로 만난다. 음악방송을 시청하고, 영상통화로 대화를 나누며, 언어가 달라도 자동번역을 통해 같은 순간을 공유한다. 이처럼 팬덤 문화가 온라인과 기술을 중심으로 빠르게 진화하는 가운데, 글로벌 라이브 스트리밍 플랫폼 헬로라이브(구 아몬드컴퍼니)가 K팝과 전 세

Mr. Lif’s Emergency Rations EP is post-9/11 hip hop at its most daring

First, you drop bombs, then you send aid. Totally logical. | Image: Definitive Jux There was a period in the early aughts when Definitive Jux (nee: Def Jux) seemed like it was going to be the future of hip hop. While the label featured plenty of experimental, boundary-pushing, and politically minded acts, Lif stood out as the most "conscious rapper" in the traditional sense. It was clear though, that label head El-P envisioned that as an important part of Def Jux's identity, as the first record it put out was 2000's Enter the Colossus EP, from Lif. Mr. Lif's follow-up was 2002's Emergency Rations EP, a sort of place setter for the full-length I, Phantom just a couple of months later. It opens with a skit about Lif missing … Read the full story at The Verge.

Infuriating Google commercial imagines the founding fathers embracing AI

I call BS: the founding fathers definitely would have been Microsoft Teams users. | Image: Google "Group project, but make it 1776." That's how a new commercial for Google Workspace opens. And things only get cringier from there. The clip imagines what it would be like if the founding fathers turned to Google's collaboration tools and Gemini to help them draft the Declaration of Independence. Ben Franklin texts Thomas Jefferson to check on the status of a draft, who takes a photo and uses AI to transcribe it into a Google Doc. Franklin and Adams hop in to make edits in suggestion mode, Gemini finds them a meeting time, takes notes during a Google Meet call, and then Nano Banana whips up a seal for the United States featuring a turkey ( … Read the full story at The Verge.

The Sourdough Sidekick automates the boring bit of baking

The Sourdough Sidekick was codeveloped with King Arthur Baking Company. Baking sourdough bread is inherently old-fashioned, relying on natural fermentation and wild yeast instead of the simple, predictable commercial stuff. So it might sound anathema to bring a gadget into the mix. The trick to the Sourdough Sidekick - backed and branded by King Arthur flour - is that it promises to automate the boring bit of sourdough baking: starter management. It feeds your starter flour and water on a set schedule, ready for exactly when you want to bake, leaving you to focus on kneading, shaping, and the actual baking. Like any single-purpose kitchen gadget, you'll have to be confident you'll get enough use to justify b … Read the full story at The Verge.

How Keurig saved — and ruined — your coffee

Before Keurig, the coffee in your office was almost certainly terrible. Old, burned, made by someone who would rather poorly eyeball than properly measure. Just altogether gross. After Keurig? You could make your own coffee, a cup at a time, exactly when you needed it. The single-cup brewer was an elegant solution to an extremely common problem. At least, that's how it started. On this episode of Version History, we dig into the history of the Keurig, and the ways in which the idea got vastly bigger than anyone expected. K-Cups and Keurig machines became ubiquitous in offices all across the US, then quickly began to invade our homes as well … Read the full story at The Verge.

The Guardian view on gene-edited humans: darker uses must be acknowledged alongside medical ones | Editorial

Polling shows that the public supports this new technology, but the conversation must move beyond simple questions of safety Ever since Crispr-Cas9 gene-editing technology emerged in the early 2010s, ethical questions around genetically altered humans, so-called designer babies, have become increasingly urgent. There is already a worldwide legal prohibition. No country currently allows human germline editing (meaning genetic changes to an embryo that could also be passed on to its children), and 70 have laws against it, including the UK. But a series of recent discoveries and a new poll suggest that scientists and the public believe gene-edited humans are likely – even desirable – in the near future. Two new studies use base editing – a more precise next-generation Crispr tool – on human embryos to study early development or disease (this research is legal in the UK and US as long as the embryos are destroyed within 14 days). The lead author of one study, Dieter Egli, said that the technology wasn’t yet ready for the clinic, but the advances would “guide responsible research to achieve its ultimate safe and effective use”. This encapsulates the view of many scientists, who believe the regulated use of germline editing to eradicate hereditary conditions is inevitable, and the main objection is around safety.

Bomb the Arctic, dam the Mediterranean and build a second moon: five outlandish plans to remodel our climate

Humans have long sought to geoengineer the Earth’s environment. Tim Flannery outlines a few of the wildest ideas from the 20th century An increasing number of scientists think we have let the climate crisis fester for so long that our only hope to stave off ever-intensifying catastrophes is to use technological interventions. Cloud brightening, injecting sulphur into the atmosphere and the use of tiny mirrors in space – all of which might reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth’s surface – are among the concepts being promoted by entrepreneurs and governments alike. Geoengineering, they argue, is now inevitable. Ever since the God of the Old Testament granted our species dominion over the Earth, ideas of remaking the world to better suit us have been a dominant thread in human thinking. We have for centuries toyed with grand ambitions to alter and re-form the climate and environment, many of which – in retrospect – seem doomed or absurd.

British swallowtail split from European cousins much earlier than thought, study finds

Finding that Norfolk butterfly has been distinct subspecies for 200,000 years could transform conservation approach The endangered swallowtail butterfly Papilio machaon britannicus, which is only regularly found breeding in Britain on the Norfolk Broads, has been a distinct subspecies for at least 200,000 years, according to a study. Smaller, darker in colour and much rarer than the continental swallowtail, britannicus was previously considered to have developed its distinctive form during its confinement in the wetlands of eastern England over the last 8,000 years, after the flooding of Doggerland.
