As we age, our muscles naturally lose mass, strength, and functionality, which can lead to fatigue and weakness beginning as early as our 30s. Recent studies indicate that our mitochondria—the cellular powerhouses that generate 90% of our energy—play a crucial role in this decline, contributing to reduced muscle function as we age. A new way to support and improve muscle health as we age, Mitopure® by Timeline is clinically shown to meaningfully boost our mitochondrial health to improve muscle strength, without any change in exercise required. Ready to feel stronger, for longer with Mitopure? Big Data News Weekly readers can take 30% off their first month with code 30NEWSLETTER for a limited time. While supplies last.

How to turn sketches into images with Grok
Instead of typing long prompts and hoping for the best, Grok lets you draw your idea directly on a canvas and then transforms it into a polished image.
Go to the Grok website and sign in.
In the prompt box, click the attachment icon and select Draw a sketch.
A blank canvas will open with a toolbar. Pick the pen tool and adjust stroke size using the slider.
Draw your idea: Use your mouse or trackpad to sketch your design, just like in a basic art app.
You can also change color to white, yellow, red, green, or blue
Use undo, redo, or the trash icon to start over. When ready, click Done.
Your sketch will now appear in the prompt box. Next, describe the output by adding a prompt such as “in a cartoon style” or “as a watercolor painting,” or write something more detailed depending on what you want.
Grok will then generate image options based on your sketch. Choose one and refine it further with text prompts if needed.
