In a significant update to its guidelines for prostate cancer screening, the American Cancer Society is now recommending that men get routinely screened for prostate cancer with a PSA test. Men at average risk should get a PSA test every two years from age 50 to 69, according to the new guidelines released Thursday. Men considered at high risk due to race and family history should start testing earlier, at 45, and most are recommended to get tested every year. Specifically, yearly testing starting at age 45 is recommended for all Black men, who have higher rates of prostate cancer. Non-Black men should also get yearly testing starting at 45 if a close relative was diagnosed with prostate cancer before age 65, or if more than one of their relatives has had prostate cancer. On the other hand, if only one close relative was diagnosed with prostate cancer and it was diagnosed at age 65 or older, non-Black men in this case should start PSA screening at 45, but are recommended to get testing only every two years.Read full article Comments
The US government has expanded the use of an AI tool for advising air traffic controllers to assist in managing air traffic across the entire national airspace system. Airline executives have voiced support for the rollout, but the US labor union representing air traffic controllers has said it was not involved in designing or testing the AI-driven system. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says the $875 million SMART system has helped reroute 180 flights since being implemented in airspace over Washington, DC, on September 21. The agency claims that this saved an average of 10 minutes per flight and almost 80 gallons of fuel per flight—and it is apparently hoping such results can be replicated nationwide through the expanded deployment. “After a successful initial rollout to the National Capital Region in September, the FAA will now use SMART in the airspace of all 22 centers across the country to reduce delays, reduce fuel consumption and improve the travel experience for the flying public,” according to the agency statement posted on November 10.Read full article Comments
Drone and missile strikes have inflicted unprecedented damage on data centers in Eastern Europe and the Middle East this year, disrupting cloud services for millions of people and permanently deleting some Amazon Web Services customer data. This trend represents a new concern for Big Tech companies—but also for governments and everyone else who depends on common digital services in modern life. To explore what this all means for modern society’s reliance on cloud resilience, I will be hosting a live conversation titled "Drone attacks and data centers: New Risks for Big Tech" on Tuesday, November 17 at 1 pm ET with Joseph Jarnecki, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a UK defense and security think tank. He leads RUSI’s work on how cloud services factor into national security and defense, along with tech sovereignty efforts. Jarnecki has done extensive research on how Ukraine strengthened its cloud resilience with Western partners despite facing both cyberattacks and kinetic attacks at the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, and explored what that means for NATO and European governments’ cloud adoption plans.Read full article Comments
So, you think you're an Elder Scrolls superfan? You say you've been there since The Elder Scrolls Arena on MS-DOS and have logged hundreds of hours in The Elder Scrolls Online? You say you've bought all of the roughly 5,000 re-releases and remasters of Skyrim that have been made available in the last 15 years? Tell me, then: What do you think of The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey? What's that? You've never played Shadowkey? You weren't there day one back in 2004, Nokia N-Gage in hand, ready to experience the game's 176 x 208 resolution mobile hack-and-slash RPG combat for yourself? And you call yourself a real Elder Scrolls fan?Read full article Comments
This week’s global railway supply chain news from Railway Gazette International. Romanian company HIAROM has developed a multifunctional road-rail vehicle designed for railway infrastructure construction, maintenance and intervention works. The HC-3 built on a three-axle MAN chassis has an aerial work platform, a HIAB i.X 192 Rail E4 hydraulic crane and a six-seat crew cabin, and two hydraulically operated four-wheel rail bogies with hydrostatic propulsion provided through the rear bogie. German sleeper manufacturer Moll Rail has expanded its international presence beyond Europe with the acquisition of Brazilian company Conprem Group, which manufactures prestressed concrete railway sleepers and precast concrete products for the energy sector at seven production facilities in Brazil. It also holds a majority stake in Conprem-Grau which operates a plant in Chile. ‘South America offers considerable potential for railway infrastructure development’, said Andrea Benincasa, CEO of Moll Industries, on November 2. ‘Brazil is particularly attractive to us given the significance of its rail freight market. Together with the experienced local teams, we aim to develop Brazil as a base for further expansion in South America.’ Turkish manufacturer Türasaş has signed a TL1.5bn contract for the construction of a new locomotive assembly plant close to its existing Eskişehir facility. This will manufacture Türasaş’s E5000 (Eskişehir 5000) electric main line locomotive, for which it recently received an order for 95 from national operator TCDD Taşımacılık, as well as future electric freight and passenger locomotives developed from the E5000. Uzbekistan’s President Shavkat Mirziyoyev met Wabtec Chairman & CEO Rafael Santana in October to discuss renewing and expanding the country’s locomotive fleet, taking into account the potential development of rail infrastructure and transit traffic. The meeting also covered the supply and long-term servicing of locomotives with the participation of US financial institutions, and establishing maintenance services and component production in Uzbekistan, as well as personnel training. Siemens Mobility and its contractor Budimex have officially launched construction of a 100m złoty Rail Service Center at Gądki near Poznań, which will provide light and heavy maintenance for locomotive fleets in Poland and across central and eastern Europe from the end of 2027. The 4 300 m2 facility will be equipped to service up to seven locos simultaneously, and it will have an underfloor wheel lathe, a washing facility and a drop table for replacing bogies and wheelsets. The investment is supported by the voivodship of Wielkopolska, Kórnik municipality and the Zakłady Kórnickie Foundation. Compagnie des Signaux’s German subsidiary MerMec Deutschland has been renamed CSEE Deutschland. Both are part of Angel Holdings. The change follows Siemens Mobility’s acquisition of other MerMec businesses.

Discussing racism with children can seem daunting to parents, caregivers and educators for several reasons. Often, it can feel uncomfortable talking about people's differences; conversations about racism reveal implicit biases and, for some, immense privilege.
Quantum computers have the potential to perform calculations more quickly than supercomputers, but they could be even faster and more energy-efficient if they were built with photons as their basic units, called qubits.
If we want big things in space, we'll have to build and assemble them there. Rocket fairings are not large enough to accommodate the large things we want to have in space. Not only that, but the stubborn rocket equation refuses to bend itself to our desires.
As the major powers and the private companies go full tilt with their plans to develop infrastructure and extract resources on the moon, the questions around environmental protection, international regulation and who benefits all come into play. Vilnius University Institute of International Relations and Political Science (VU IIRPS) professor Florian Rabitz, together with Xiao-Shan Yap from Utrecht University, explores these concerns in their research article, "Don't Fly Me to the Moon: A Moratorium on Lunar Industrialization," published in the journal Global Environmental Politics.
