How Long Does It Take to Get Fit Again?
When it comes to cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength, the adage is true: Use it or lose it. While regular exercise can improve heart health and increase strength and mobility, taking weeks or months off can reverse many of those benefits.
That’s not to say that rest days are not important. In general, short breaks can help you physically and mentally recharge, but whenever possible, you should avoid extending your time off for too long so that hopping back on the wagon doesn’t feel too daunting or miserable.
“Your body adapts to the stimulus you provide,” said Dr. Kevin Stone, an orthopedic surgeon and the author of the book “Play Forever: How to Recover From Injury and Thrive.” “Your muscles become used to the stress and the testosterone, the adrenaline and endorphins — all the wonderful things that circulate from exercise. When you take that away, the body initiates a muscle loss program.”

Some History of English... in two words
In 1582, Richard Mulcaster, headmaster of the Merchant Tailors’ school1 wrote that “our English tung is of small reatch, it stretcheth no further than this Iland of ours”. It didn’t stay that way. Today, English is spoken by more than a billion people all over the world. It is a colourful, vibrant and diverse tongue, that long has picked up words from the many languages with which its speakers have come into contact.
One such word is Dictionary. It is a borrowing from medieval Latin dictionarius liber “book of words”; it first appeared in English in the 16th century, along with numerous adoptions from Latin and Greek.
Dr Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language (1755), although the most famous, is not the earliest; the first English dictionary was Robert Cawdrey’s Table Alphabeticall (1604). Unlike a modern desk dictionary, Cawdrey set out to gloss only the most unfamiliar words, such as deambulate, pactation, and refractarie – whose meanings would have caused problems for those not educated in Latin and Greek.
Another such word is Emoji2 , originally developed in Japan in the 1990s for use by teenagers on their pagers; the word emoji derives from the Japanese e “picture” + moji “character, letter”. Its successful integration into English has been helped by its similarity to words with the e-“electronic” prefix, such as e-mail and e-book. E-communication is a form of writing that resembles casual conversation more than formal prose, often situated in real time with a known recipient, but lacking the extra-linguistic cues such as facial expression, tone of voice, hand gestures, that help to convey attitude in face-toface interactions, and users are finding creative new ways to employ emojis.

We can learn a lot from Troy's trash
Beneath the epic tales of heroes and gods, Troy's true
story is written in something far less glamorous − its
rubbish.
When we think of Troy, we imagine epic battles, valiant
deeds, cunning tricks and the wrath of gods. Thanks to
Homer's Iliad, the city is remembered as a stage for
romance and heroism.
But long before Paris stole Helen and Achilles raged on
the battlefield, the people of bronze age Troy lived
ordinary lives − with extraordinary consequences. They
built, cooked, stored, traded and, crucially, threw things
away. And they did it right where they lived.
Today, waste is whisked away quickly − out of sight, out
of mind. But in bronze age Troy (3000−1000BC), trash
stayed close, often accumulating in domestic dumping
grounds for generations.
Having spent more than 16 summers excavating and
analysing the bronze age layers of Troy, I've learned to read the city's history this waste.
Hundreds of thousands of animal bones from cattle,
sheep, fish − even turtles − were found alongside vast
quantities of pottery shards, ash, food scraps, and human
waste. Sometimes, these layers were reused to level
floors or build walls, showing how closely intertwined
daily life and refuse management were.
This wasn't laziness or neglect, it was pure pragmatism.
In a world without rubbish trucks or sanitation systems,
managing refuse was neither chaotic nor careless, but a
collective, spatially negotiated − and surprisingly strategic
− effort.
The excavations I have worked on as part of the
University of Tübingen's Troy Project, which has been
going on since 1988, have revealed just how deliberate
these routines were. Where people chose to dump, or not
to dump, speaks volumes about status, social roles, and
community boundaries. Waste is the diary no one meant
to write, yet it records the intimate rhythms of daily life
with unfiltered clarity.
Far from a nuisance, Troy's waste is an archaeologist's
treasure trove.
Over nearly 2,000 years, Troy ended up with 15 meters
of built-up debris. Archaeologists can see nine major
building phases in it, each made up of hundreds of thin
layers, which formed as people lived their everyday lives.
These layers act like snapshots, quietly recording how
the city changed over time. Some capture hearth
cleanings, others record the rebuilding of entire city
quarters.
By analysing the layers and their ratios of bones to
pottery, ash concentration, presence of storage jars,
grinding stones, or production debris, specific spaces of
activity become visible: kitchens, workshops, storage
areas, rubbish pits. What appears chaotic turns out to be
a carefully structured map of everyday routines −
showing where meals were prepared, tools made, and
discarded objects left behind.
The story these remains tell is one of profound
transformation. Troy began as a modest agrarian
settlement, shaped by the steady rhythms of farming,
herding, and small-scale craft. Over time, it grew into a
thriving regional centre.
The archaeological record, rich in refuse, traces this long
arc of change. Exotic imports fashioned from stones such
as carnelian and lapis lazuli begin to appear, revealing
distant trade connections. Specialised metalworking tools
emerge alongside monumental architecture. some
buildings stretched nearly 30 metres, signalling growing
ambitions and expanding capabilities.
This rise unfolded gradually, reflected not just in grander
buildings, but in shifting tools, trade, and how people
dealt with what they left behind. Waste management
became more organised, with designated areas for
different types of waste. This reflects broader shifts in
how the community structured space and managed its
economy.
Yet this ascent was interrupted. By the mid-third
millennium BC, signs that things were becoming smaller
appear. Architecture simplifies, household inventories
shrink, production debris declines suggesting economic
slowdown or political instability.
Still, Troy endured. By the mid-second millennium BC,
the city revived. Refined ceramics, luxury imports and
evidence of social complexity marked a new chapter of
recovery and reinvention. This splendid settlement later
became the stage for Homer's Trojan War where Greek
warriors faced the daunting task of climbing towering
mounds of debris built up over centuries just to reach the
palaces.
These insights allow us to see Troy not just as a city of
walls and towers, but as a living organism shaped by
daily routines, unspoken norms and social negotiation.
The waste left behind is a remarkably honest archive of
bronze age society − beneath myths, stones, and poetry.
Troy's trash heaps are the bronze age's search history.
To know what mattered 4,500 years ago, don't ask poets
− ask the garbage. From broken tools to shared meals,
from imported luxuries to scraps, this waste reveals the
pulse of everyday life and society's evolving structure.
Ironically, these mundane refuse layers preserved the
bronze age world for us. Without them, we'd know far
less about early Troy's people. Their depth and
composition trace changes in economy, technology, and
social structure. From scraps to towers of pottery shards,
waste archaeology is key to understanding early urban
complexity.
So next time you picture Achilles storming Troy's gates,
remember: the heroes might have been divine, but their
city smelled very human.

Regarding the text, judge the statements below.
I. The sentence "Where people chose to dump, or not to dump, speaks volumes about status, social roles, and community boundaries" contains a concessive type (free relative clause) functioning as the direct object of the verb "speaks," where "where" introduces a clause with an implicit antecedent referring back to "volumes," and this construction is identical to adverbial clauses of place which modify verbs rather than function as noun phrase equivalents.
II. The complex sentence "Having spent more than 16 summers excavating and analysing the bronze age layers of Troy, I've learned to read the city's history this waste" demonstrates a non-finite participial clause ("Having spent...") functioning as an adverbial of reason or temporal background, with the perfect aspect "having spent" indicating that the action of the participle preceded the main clause verb "learned," though the sentence contains a grammatical error with missing preposition "from" or "in" before "this waste."
III. The structure "What appears chaotic turns out to be a carefully structured map" exemplifies a pseudo-cleft (wh-cleft) sentence construction that foregrounds information by moving it to subject position, creating emphasis on "what appears chaotic" while the predicate provides the surprising revelation, and this syntactic pattern is commonly employed in academic writing to manage information flow and create rhetorical impact.
The following statement(s) is/are CORRECT:

New research unveils the "dark side" of social media
influencers and their impact on marketing and
consumer behaviour
Social media influencers (SMIs) pose psychological,
health and security risks and need tighter regulation, a
new study finds.
SMIs have revolutionised marketing, shaping consumer
behaviour, brand strategies, and even societal norms.
However, new research exposes a lesser-known side of
influencer culture, one that raises ethical, psychological,
and regulatory concerns.
A recent study by the University of Portsmouth
systematically examines the negative impacts of SMIs,
highlighting issues such as misinformation, endorsement
of dangerous products, unrealistic beauty standards, the
fostering of a comparison culture, deceptive
consumption, and privacy risks.
With influencer marketing projected to reach an
estimated $480 billion by 2027, companies increasingly
rely on SMIs to promote products and foster consumer
trust.
A Digital Marketing Institute (2024) survey found that 60
per cent of consumers trust influencer recommendations,
with nearly half of all purchasing decisions being
influenced by these endorsements. However, as
influencer culture grows, so do concerns about its
unintended consequences.
Many SMIs act as opinion leaders or experts within their
respective areas, frequently reviewing products and
leveraging their authority, expertise, or relationships with
followers to influence purchasing decisions. Some inspire
and entertain; others deceive and upset. The deception
and damage, and their impact on consumption, need to
be carefully regulated.
Yuksel Ekinci, Professor of Marketing and Sales at the
University of Portsmouth
The paper, published in Psychology and Marketing,
warns power of SMIs is creating a worrying consumer
landscape. Unlike traditional celebrities, whose fame is
typically rooted in institutional settings - such as acting,
music, or sports - SMIs gain recognition through social media platforms, often relying on personal branding and
consistent engagement with their audiences.
Yuksel Ekinci, Professor of Marketing and Sales at the
University of Portsmouth, said: "Many SMIs act as
opinion leaders or experts within their respective areas,
frequently reviewing products and leveraging their
authority, expertise, or relationships with followers to
influence purchasing decisions. Some inspire and
entertain; others deceive and upset. The deception and
damage, and their impact on consumption, need to be
carefully regulated."
This study organises the negative aspects of influencer
marketing into six key themes:
1. Promotion of harmful products − SMIs often endorse
unhealthy or dangerous products such as diet pills, detox
teas, and alcohol without full disclosure, influencing
consumption habits, particularly among younger
audiences.
2. Dissemination of misinformation − many influencers,
despite lacking expertise, spread false information about
health, politics, and social issues, leading to widespread
disinformation.
3. Reinforcement of unrealistic beauty standards − by
presenting filtered and curated images, influencers
contribute to body dissatisfaction, low self-esteem, and
harmful beauty practices.
4. Fostering of comparison culture − influencer-driven
content fuels lifestyle envy and social anxiety, leading to
negative self-comparison and diminished wellbeing.
5. Deceptive consumption practices − some influencers
engage in unethical behaviours such as undisclosed
sponsorships, promotion of counterfeit goods, and
misleading advertisements, undermining consumer trust.
6. Privacy concerns − the extensive data collection and
sharing by influencers raise significant security and
regulatory issues, posing risks for both influencers and
followers.
Social media influencers hold immense power over
consumer decisions and cultural norms. While they
provide entertainment, inspiration, and brand
engagement, the unchecked influence of some SMIs can
lead to serious ethical and psychological consequences.
Our study highlights the urgency for both academic and
industry stakeholders to address these challenges
proactively.
Dr Georgia Buckle, Research Fellow in the School of
Accounting, Economics and Finance at the University of
Portsmouth
The study calls for more stringent oversight, increased
transparency, and ethical marketing strategies to mitigate
these risks. Researchers suggest the following strategies
for policymakers and marketeers:
•Transparency and ethical compliance: brands must
enforce clear disclosure policies to ensure responsible
influencer partnerships.
• Regulation and consumer protection: governments should strengthen policies on influencer marketing to
prevent deceptive practices and misinformation.
• Mental health awareness: companies and influencers
must prioritize authentic content that promotes well-being
rather than unattainable ideals.
• Data privacy protections: stronger safeguards and
awareness campaigns are needed to protect users from
privacy breaches and data exploitation.
Dr Georgia Buckle, Research Fellow in the School of
Accounting, Economics and Finance at the University of
Portsmouth, said: "Social media influencers hold
immense power over consumer decisions and cultural
norms. While they provide entertainment, inspiration, and
brand engagement, the unchecked influence of some
SMIs can lead to serious ethical and psychological
consequences. Our study highlights the urgency for both

challenges proactively."
This research offers a critical framework for analysing
influencer culture beyond its commercial benefits,
emphasising the need for ethical marketing practices and
a healthier digital ecosystem.

Digital archeology
The City Gallery presents Filip Popov with his exhibition
"Digital Archeology"
With a large exhibition, including works from his most
famous cycles, the visual artist Filip Popov will exhibit in
the Hall "2019" at 32 Gladstone Street from March 2 to
31.
For the first time the artist makes such a large-scale
performance in the city where he was born.
The opening will be on March 2 from 17:00 to 19:30.
The topics that excite the author of the exhibition "Digital
Archeology" can be deciphered in the titles of the series
of works created over the past 8 years: TransOrganic,
Para Bellum, Order, Posthuman, Paleomatic Monologues
and Prayers to the latest series - Bunker City and Zero City. As Velizara Ivanova emphasizes in her analysis:
Combining works dating back to 2014, Digital Archeology
reflects Philip Popov's continuing focus on the
posthumanism and transhumanism, confronting
technology and our uncertain future and insight into the
way machines are woven into our tomorrow's world. "
Born in 1964 in Plovdiv, Filip Popov spent several years
of his childhood in Germany, where he formed his ideas
for unity between art, architecture, design and
technology. He studied art at the National Academy of
Arts in Sofia, moved to Basel to study at the
Kunstgewerbeschule, and later lived in Zurich.
He has had solo exhibitions at EASA, West Berlin (1988),
EKG, Wetzikon, CH (1993), Binz Foundation 39, Zurich
(1994), Kunsthalle Liesthal, CH (1996), ArtFront Gallery,
Tokyo (2005). It is presented in the most famous galleries
in Sofia and the country. In 2014 he participated in the
National Autumn Exhibitions in Plovdiv. Filip Popov
exhibits his works in numerous group exhibitions in
Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria, France.

Digital archeology
The City Gallery presents Filip Popov with his exhibition
"Digital Archeology"
With a large exhibition, including works from his most
famous cycles, the visual artist Filip Popov will exhibit in
the Hall "2019" at 32 Gladstone Street from March 2 to
31.
For the first time the artist makes such a large-scale
performance in the city where he was born.
The opening will be on March 2 from 17:00 to 19:30.
The topics that excite the author of the exhibition "Digital
Archeology" can be deciphered in the titles of the series
of works created over the past 8 years: TransOrganic,
Para Bellum, Order, Posthuman, Paleomatic Monologues
and Prayers to the latest series - Bunker City and Zero City. As Velizara Ivanova emphasizes in her analysis:
Combining works dating back to 2014, Digital Archeology
reflects Philip Popov's continuing focus on the
posthumanism and transhumanism, confronting
technology and our uncertain future and insight into the
way machines are woven into our tomorrow's world. "
Born in 1964 in Plovdiv, Filip Popov spent several years
of his childhood in Germany, where he formed his ideas
for unity between art, architecture, design and
technology. He studied art at the National Academy of
Arts in Sofia, moved to Basel to study at the
Kunstgewerbeschule, and later lived in Zurich.
He has had solo exhibitions at EASA, West Berlin (1988),
EKG, Wetzikon, CH (1993), Binz Foundation 39, Zurich
(1994), Kunsthalle Liesthal, CH (1996), ArtFront Gallery,
Tokyo (2005). It is presented in the most famous galleries
in Sofia and the country. In 2014 he participated in the
National Autumn Exhibitions in Plovdiv. Filip Popov
exhibits his works in numerous group exhibitions in
Bulgaria, Switzerland, Austria, France.

Regarding the morphological and syntactic structures in
the text "Digital Archeology," judge the statements below.
I.The compound noun "posthumanism" in the phrase "Philip Popov's continuing focus on the posthumanism and transhumanism" exhibits derivational morphology through the prefix "post-" (meaning after/beyond) attached to the base "humanism," creating a philosophical term denoting ideology beyond traditional humanism, and this word formation process exemplifies productive morphological patterns in academic and philosophical English vocabulary.
II.The prepositional phrase "from 2014" in "Combining works dating back to 2014" functions as a temporal adjunct modifying the present participle "dating," and the phrasal verb "dating back to" is a three-word intransitive phrasal verb meaning to originate or have existed since a particular time, commonly used in historical and chronological contexts.
III.The relative clause "where he was born" in "the city where he was born" is a restrictive (defining) relative clause that specifies which city is being referenced, using the relative adverb "where" to indicate location, and this construction could be alternatively expressed as "in which he was born" with preposition fronting, though "where" is more natural and commonly preferred in spoken and written English.
The following statement(s) is/are CORRECT.

Consider the following pedagogical scenario:
An English teacher planning a lesson for Brazilian high school students using this recipe as authentic material wants to analyze the syntactic complexity and verb phrase structures to assess text difficulty level and design appropriate scaffolding activities. Examining sentences like "Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil," "Stir in the chopped kimchi until evenly coated," and "Using tongs, gently mix until each strand is coated," the teacher conducts a syntactic analysis focusing on verb phrase types, clause structures, and non-finite constructions. Regarding the syntactic features that impact text difficulty and pedagogical implications for supporting reading comprehension among intermediate EFL learners, which analysis is syntactically and pedagogically accurate?

Regarding morphosyntactic structures and verb phrase
analysis in the recipe "Cold Kimchi Tomato Bibim
Noodles," judge the statements below.
I.The phrasal verb "shake off" in "shake off excess water" consists of a transitive separable phrasal verb where "shake" functions as the lexical verb and "off" as an adverbial particle modifying the verb's meaning to indicate removal or elimination, and this construction could be paraphrased as "remove by shaking" without significant semantic loss.
II.The passive voice construction "until each strand is coated" demonstrates a grammatical transformation from an active equivalent "until the sauce coats each strand," where the patient (each strand) becomes the syntactic subject while the agent (sauce) is demoted or omitted, and this passivization serves the rhetorical function of maintaining focus on the noodles rather than the sauce throughout the instructional sequence.
III.The temporal subordinate clause "until completely cooled" in "rinse under cold water until completely cooled" exhibits ellipsis of the subject and auxiliary verb, with the complete structure being "until [the noodles are] completely cooled," and this syntactic reduction represents a common feature of procedural discourse where redundant elements are omitted for brevity and efficiency.
The following statement(s) is/are CORRECT:
