There is an ever-increasing need for educational institutions to step up their security and an undeniable prevalence of emergency situations in schools along with the severity of school violence. During school years, one out of every four students reports getting bullied either physically or emotionally. Yet the majority of students bullied in schools do not report it at all. Parents and educators worry a lot about the children that they care for, and many people are too terrified to handle difficult situations. Fortunately, school security systems with modernized technology are made to keep children, school staff members, and visitors safe and secure. Widespread violence has become a global threat, and it leads to school security problems at different grade levels in both the smallest and largest of towns and cities. Therefore, it pays well to take school security seriously. How do school safety and security issues affect school students? In the light of the growing security issues, t

When you're a new driver, it's generally best to build your confidence gradually by driving on local roads. From there, you can move your way up to highway driving. The prospect of driving on the highway for the first time can be daunting for many new drivers — moving at high speeds, merging into traffic, and changing lanes on the interstate requires constant focus and careful agility, after all. As intimidating as the highway may seem, a little preparation and practice are all you need to become a confident driver. The following highway driving tips will help you stay safe when you hit the highway for the first time, and with every subsequent road trip you take: 1.  Avoid Driving When You’re Tired or Impaired in Any Way Impaired driving is a very real problem both on city streets and highways. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one person dies in an alcohol-impaired driving accident every 50 minutes in the United States. Of course, alcohol isn&#

Office security systems are essential for any business or organization, as they help protect against a variety of threats and ensure the safety of employees and assets. Here are some of the key benefits of implementing a security system in the workplace: Deter Crime: A visible office security system, such as cameras or alarms, can deter potential burglars from attempting to break into the office. This can save your business from the costly damages and losses that can result from a break-in. Prevent Unauthorized Access: An access control system, such as key cards or biometric scanners, can prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the office. This can help keep your business assets and sensitive information secure. Ensure Employee Safety: Security systems can also help ensure the safety of your employees. For example, panic buttons and emergency notification systems can help employees quickly alert authorities in the event of a threat or emergency. Overall, office security systems

  SpaceX quietly introduced a new Standard Starlink terminal that’s slimmer and simpler than the previous version, with a 10 percent broader field of view and no motor for setting up — instead, it comes with a kickstand; to orient it, you simply move it. A Starlink support page says the kit is available “by invitation only to a small group of early customers in the US.” SpaceX bumped its weather resistance rating up from IP54 to IP67, meaning it should be totally dust-proof and can be submerged in one meter of water for as long as 30 minutes before potential damage. Starlink’s specifications page says it can operate in winds over 60MPH. Speaking of which, the company will sell mounts in case you’d rather secure it in place. It’s otherwise roughly the same size as the previous Standard terminal (now called Standard Actuated). Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt, who posted about the new terminal Friday morning, shared the quick start video for it. The Wi-Fi router has been redesigned and now

  Users on Reddit and Hacker News are complaining that YouTube seems to have inserted an intentional five-second delay before video pages will load in Mozilla’s Firefox and occasionally some other browsers. YouTube tells The Verge that these users are right about the delay, but the browser has nothing to do with it — it’s part of the company’s efforts to quash ad blockers across all platforms. “In the past week, users using ad blockers may have experienced suboptimal viewing, which included delays in loading, regardless of the browser they are using,” YouTube communications manager Christopher Lawton wrote in an email. Lawton wrote that disabling the ad blocker should resolve the issue, though users “may still experience a temporary delay in loading” until their browser has refreshed. Lawton also said that users will keep seeing issues like this as YouTube’s ad-blocker detection methods improve. The issue was initially reported as targeting Firefox users, but users online have said the

  Newborn babies respond differently to their mother tongue, suggesting that exposure to language in the uterus may provide the foundations for learning. Experiments with newborn babies suggest they can already recognise their mother tongue, hinting that language learning may begin before birth. “We’ve known for a while that fetuses hear towards the end of gestation,” says Judit Gervain at the University of Padua in Italy. “[Newborn babies] can recognise their mother’s voice and prefer it over other female voices, and they can even recognise the language their mother spoke during pregnancy.” To investigate further, Gervain and her colleagues studied the brain activity of 49 babies with French-speaking mothers aged between one and five days old. Each newborn was fitted with a small cap that contained 10 electrodes placed close to regions of the brain linked to speech perception. The team then played recordings that began with 3 minutes of silence, then 7-minute excerpts from the story G

  One big question is whether the program should expand beyond students already bent on a scientific career to reach the much larger population of students indifferent to science or lacking the opportunity to realize their potential. “It’s an elite program. That’s their brand,” says longtime observer Russell Moore, an integrative physiologist and provost at the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder, one of four U.S. universities that host SSP students every summer. “And it’s a remarkable program for those students.” “But it could also be remarkable for other types of students,” says Moore, who confesses that he “never would have gotten into” SSP as a teenager. “And $200 million opens up a lot of possibilities.” SSP’s newfound wealth comes from Franklin Antonio, a 1969 SSP graduate who co-founded chipmaking giant Qualcomm and died last year at age 69. Deciding how to spend it falls to Frank Steslow, a veteran science museum administrator who became SSP’s chief executive in January. Steslo
