Drone Deliveries Scale Up But Can They Keep The Noise Down?
Autonomous drone delivery services are scaling up their fleets for operations even as some potential customers are trying to keep the drones grounded over noise concerns. Walmart, for example, last week said it is adding 300 drone delivery sites across the U.S. in partnership with Zipline, a major supplier of drones. At the same time, residents of Westborough, MA, shot down Amazon Prime Air’s plan for drone deliveries.
Daredevil Tattoo Bike Night
Custom chopper motorcycles and bold tattoos share the same rebellious turf- they both turn heads, demand attention and attract people who challenge the status quo. Michelle Myles and her business partner Brad Fink opened Daredevil Tattoo with this same disruptive spirit in 1997, at its first location on Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side, immediately after New York City repealed its 36-year ban on the practice.
Vasileios Papaidis and Greek Moto Culture
Greece has influenced Western civilization since 2000 BC. The famous philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle developed a system of logic that enabled a new way of thinking about how humans interacted with the natural world. This encouraged the interpretation of the phenomenon of daily existence through observable, fact-based outcomes.
In the Shadow of the Acropolis
Collecting Motorcycles in the Shadow of the Acropolis The Hellenic Motorcycle Museum of Athens, Greece Motorcycle collections are often built as the result of one person’s dedication to preserving memory and time. People are drawn to specific brands and styles for aesthetic and technical reasons, but also intangible reasons that might be hard to explain. One bike leads to another and a logic between the machines develops.
SUMOylation enhances DNMT1 function to repress mega-intergenic RNAs and viral mimicry
|
Abstract DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is essential for mammalian development and is frequently dysregulated in cancer. While its recruitment to hemimethylated DNA by UHRF1 is well established, its broader chromatin occupancy and regulation remain unclear. We show that DNMT1 is enriched at unmethylated CpG islands of actively transcribed genes largely by its CXXC domain.

Automated vehicles: the next step – statement of safety principles
The Consultation follows the call for evidence that was published in June 2025. The statement of safety principles (SoSP) is a key requirement to getting automated vehicles (AVs) on our roads and getting the SoSP right is vital. The Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 (AEVA) allowed the Secretary of State, at their own discretion, to list vehicle as AVs. Only once listed as an AV would the vehicle be able to operate legally on the roads in the UK, and, as yet, no vehicles are listed.

At RSAC 2026, AI Redefines the Future of Penetration Testing
Penetration testing is undergoing a substantial shift as AI reshapes both attack and defense strategies. At RSA Conference 2026, multiple vendors pointed to the same underlying pressure: Attack surfaces are expanding more quickly, while the time required to detect and address weaknesses is shrinking. That shift is being driven in part by the rise of AI-enabled adversaries, which can probe systems at scale and speed.

UK announces ambitious new road safety strategy
The new strategy is designed to reduce deaths and serious injuries on Britain’s roads by 65% by 2035, with a target of 70% reduction for children under 16. The reforms proposed in the strategy will be built around a 'safe system' approach that aims to ensure that the road and vehicle environment should be designed to protect people as much as possible. It is based on five pillars: safe roads and roadsides, safe road users, safe speeds, safe vehicles and post-crash response.
AI Santa Is Coming to Town

AI Deployment is Here: What Amazon's Recent Layoffs Tell Us About the New Status Quo
SAN FRANCISCO – Artificial intelligence (AI) is already shifting the job market. On Tuesday, Amazon.com Inc. announced it would cut roughly 14,000 jobs, or around 4% of its total workforce. This comes at a time when Amazon is spending enormously on AI. “Functionally, Amazon is an AI company.

Tanks Designed for Urban Combat
Traditionally, tanks are seen as being at an inherent disadvantage in urban combat. In the 21st Century, however, the U.S. military must be prepared for urban combat in large, densely populated cities. The Army would do well to introduce heavy infantry divisions for this task, and these divisions will need armored cavalry for scouting, escort duty, and fire support. Developing a tank specifically for urban terrain will therefore be necessary, both for practical and doctrinal reasons.
Automated Vehicles Act now in the Statute Books
On 20th May, the Automated Vehicles Act received Royal Assent after a quick and non-contentious passing by parliament.

Getting transport moving again
Last week, in his first appearance before the Commons Transport Committee, new Secretary of State for Transport, Mark Harper warned that it is unlikely there will be time in this parliament for any kind of transport bill. It was only in May that a new transport bill covering both rail and the future of road transport was included in the Queen’s Speech. However, that was two Transport Secretaries ago, and both the political and economic landscape have changed dramatically since then.
Motorcycling in Beijing Is a Complex Culture for These Young Riders
Miki is 26 years old, compact in size, but rides with a confident, easy strength. Her crew blasts around Beijing on near identical Zero Engineering Type 6 motorcycles; 92.63 cubic-inch S&S Shovelheads with Baker 6-speeds. The geometry of the Type 6 works for smaller riders like Miki: A rigid Gooseneck frame with a 33.2-degree rake drops the frame four inches from the street and a mere 26 inches from seat to street.

Students Aren’t the Only Ones who get Distracted Working at Home
I had brought my phone with me and in the news feed noticed an article bemoaning the fact that we were still using the Electoral College to elect our Presidents. So, being a history buff and a fan of the Electoral College, I looked up a few articles about our Presidential election process, read up on the whys and why nots of the Electoral College, and began taking notes in a new document.
