Editor's Note: We lose roughly 1% of muscle every year from our mid-50s; by 80, Attia says, the average person will have shed 8kg, or about 18lb. Not only does this make it harder to carry the shopping or open stuck jars; it undermines our balance and weakens our bones, making it more likely both that we will injure ourselves and that we will fail to get over it.

Editor's Note: Gagne realised, she says, that regular, smaller acts of deviance would prevent a larger blow-out. She came up with a list of "rules", of which the first was "no hurting anybody". "I think it was important for me to set those boundaries, because they weren't inherent," she says. "I knew what was right and wrong, but I was missing those complex emotional systems that tend to keep people in check. I had to write it down and talk myself through it. What is bad in the big sense? That was easy: violence." Instead, she would stalk strangers on the street (if they were unaware, she reasoned, it wouldn't hurt them), truant from school and let herself into the houses her mother, an estate agent, had access to. Later, she taught herself to pick locks.

Editor's Note: Another woman said the best part of wearing her fluffy sweater to work is that she can head straight to bed once she gets home.

Editor's Note: The sole professional on staff was Chief Keith Drabick, who on that night was almost three hundred miles away, driving through Pennsylvania on vacation. Informed of the crash at 9 p.m., Drabick turned his car around and drove straight back to East Palestine, but he didn't arrive until five hours later.

Editor's Note: Wiley sends his two young children to Red Rooster Coffee's on-site facility, which charges him an hour per child.

Editor's Note: If you're engaging in a bad habit, it's admirable to try to eliminate it - except part of why many attempts to do so fail is that bad habits do not appear out of nowhere. No one wakes up one day and decides they want to start smoking or drinking every night or watching television until the early hours of the morning. Bad habits generally evolve to serve an unfulfilled need: connection, comfort, distraction, take your pick.

Editor's Note: Many innovations are described as gamechanging, but the Zoom Vaporflys were precisely that: a 4% boost, in the marathon especially, was not a matter of seconds; it meant several minutes. World records duly tumbled by jaw-dropping margins. Moreover, the new shoes radically turned on its head what we expected athletic footwear to look like. Conventional wisdom had always suggested that the optimal shoes for long-distance running were sleek and minimalist, with a small strip of cushioning; they were called "running flats". The Nike Vaporfly 4% looked, in contrast, like a moon boot: a large wedge of foam, adapted from aircraft insulation, sat under the foot. Inside the shoe was a spoon-shaped, carbon-fibre plate, which rocked forwards and made runners feel they were being propelled downhill.

Editor's Note: I changed clinics and met two amazing people who brought me back to life - a physio called Kat Sizer and Jamie Gillespie, a prosthetist. They made me believe in myself and they worked out a plan so that I could be active again.

Editor's Note: Fifty-one percent of respondents across all generations said that they think that parents should contribute about 25 percent of the deposit towards their children's first home.

Editor's Note: While research on compliment response is dominated by so-called "Weird" societies (Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic), and students tend to be overrepresented as research participants, cross-cultural studies show that there's no universally appropriate way to handle a compliment.
