In less than three weeks, six teenagers have died during school football games. This alarming surge in football-related school deaths should be understood as a public health emergency. It is also a wake-up call that raises questions about why we are exposing young people to such a dangerous activity, let alone the institutions designed to nurture and develop them.The first four of the most recent deaths were apparently caused by heat exposure, and the last two by head injuries. Five of the players were high school students, the oldest was just 16 and one was an eighth-grader at 13. The…

A rare Bronze Age artifact dating from 2200 to 1500 BCE was smashed to pieces by a four-year-old boy visiting the Hecht Museum at the University of Haifa in Israel. The 3,500-year-old jar was designed to store olive oil, wine, and other items. According to BBC News, the jar was on display near the museum's entrance without any protective glass because the museum believes displaying archaeological finds “without obstructions” adds “extra charm.” The boy's father, Alex, told BBC News that his son was “curious to see what was in it” and “pulled on the jar a bit.” Alex initially believed…

The rapid rise of Generative AI (GenAI) has created a wave of excitement and speculation across the industry. I am often asked, “How can GenAI complement existing investments in cloud, automation, and traditional AI to accelerate the path to autonomous networks?” For communications service providers (CSPs) in Asia grappling with the complexities of 5G deployment and digital transformation, the issue is not the technology’s potential but its practical application. The answer lies in a synergistic approach that brings together the strengths of GenAI and traditional AI. There is a golden opportunity for CSPs to combine traditional AI and GenAI capabilities…

Recent studies have found that people with diabetes or prediabetes are at higher risk for accelerated brain aging. But there's a silver lining: Adopting a healthy lifestyle can counteract these effects. Researchers say that staying physically active, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol intake can significantly reduce the impact on the brain.Diabetes is known to increase the risk of dementia, but its exact effect on brain aging is unknown. A new study published in the journal Diabetes Care investigated how prediabetes and diabetes affect brain aging in people without dementia. The study noted that aging was particularly accelerated among men and…

I grew up playing tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons and have spent more time leafing through books looking up the rules than I'd like to admit.This is old news for those familiar with the hobby, but having to stop everything while someone looked something up was one of the least fun parts of playing D&D as a kid, and if you've ever sat and watched a friend waste five minutes trying to find the page with Lich King Karl's spell list on it, you'll know what I'm talking about.One reason is that nobody likes knowing the rules (we're…

VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis leaves on Monday for a four-nation tour of Southeast Asian island nations. The ambitious trip to spur global action against climate change may test the 87-year-old head of the world Catholic Church. Over 12 days, from September 2 to 13, the pope will cover some 33,000 kilometers (20,500 miles) in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore. It is the longest journey yet for the pope, who now regularly uses a wheelchair due to knee and back pain. The pontiff was a strong promoter of the 2015 Paris climate change agreement, and aides say he…

For adults who struggle to get the recommended amount of quality sleep, “catching up” on lost sleep on the weekends could significantly reduce their risk of heart disease, new research suggests. Many people accumulate a “sleep debt” during the week and then try to make up for it by getting extra hours of sleep on the weekends. According to the Cleveland Clinic, a sleep debt is the difference between the amount of quality sleep you need (at least seven hours each night) and the amount of sleep you actually get.In a new analysis presented at the European Society of Cardiology…
