The following is excerpted from an online article posted by ScienceDaily. When young children’s behavior becomes challenging, many parents resort to threats — from taking away toys to threatening that Santa will skip their house, a national poll suggests. Parents of children ages three to five were most likely to say they use threats to address misbehavior — with a fourth threatening their child with no Santa or gifts — according to the University of Michigan Health C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health. Many parents have also threatened to leave an activity or place, take away toys…

Regardless, on that day an ambulance was called to the dairy, Michael recalled, and Natalia ended up committed to Larue Carter, the Indiana State Mental Hospital, for a psychological evaluation. Hospital employees—who wished to remain anonymous but are heard on the show in audio recordings—shared that Natalia was transferred to the adult wing after they saw pubic hair while administering a sedative injection via her backside. Once she was around adult male patients, according to the staffers, she flirted with them constantly. After she’d been at the hospital for a few weeks, Michael said, they got a call to come pick Natalia…

The new BMW M5 fights in a crowded segment featuring large high-powered luxury cars with big engines. Two of its main rivals are more practical as the Audi RS6 Avant is a wagon, whereas the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S is a hatchback. Carwow lined up the three V8 all-wheel-drive machines, one of which is a plug-in hybrid. While the M5 is electrified, the other two have a pure ICE setup with less oomph.However, the BMW’s gas engine produces the least power and the car is by far the heaviest of the trio. On the other hand, the electric motor delivers its…

New York City’s congestion pricing is scheduled to take effect Sunday — but for the first month, Lyft said it will be crediting riders who pay the fee. New York’s program, which is supposed to reduce traffic in lower Manhattan while also raising funding for mass transit, was paused by Governor Kathy Hochul in June, then eventually reinstated at a reduced price. There are different prices for different vehicles at different times — during daytime hours, it will cost $9 to drive a regular car in Manhattan below 60th St, while someone using a ride-hailing service like Uber or Lyft…

Longtime entrepreneur and cybersecurity executive Amit Yoran passed away Friday after a battle with cancer. Cybersecurity company Tenable, where Yoran was CEO and chairman, announced his death in a press release. Before becoming Tenable’s CEO in 2016, he held a number of roles including president of RSA, founding CEO of NetWitness, and CEO of In-Q-Tel. In a statement, Tenable’s lead independent director Art Coviello described Yoran as “an extraordinary leader, colleague, and friend.” “His passion for cybersecurity, his strategic vision, and his ability to inspire those around him have shaped Tenable’s culture and mission,” Coviello said. “His legacy will continue…

Virtual private networks (VPNs) are important if you care about your data and privacy. They create a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the internet, hiding your IP address and protecting your online activity. There are tons of apps out there that claim to offer VPN services, but not all of them are legit. Some are fakes trying to steal your data. In the third quarter of 2024, security researchers found that the number of users encountering fake VPN apps jumped 2½ times compared to the second quarter globally. These apps were either malware or programs that could be used by…

In 2023, defense tech recruiter Peterson Conway VIII pulled up to the offices of nuclear fusion startup Fuse in a black Suburban, donning his signature cowboy hat. He picked up a recent Fuse hire and proceeded to regale her with stories of his old recruiting days. One story involved prostitutes attending a recruiting event (“not for sex,” Conway clarified to TechCrunch).  The new hire was not happy. “I thought I told it in a funny way,” Conway sighed, admitting he was being “an a–hole.” Fuse founder JC Btaiche caught wind of the conversation and agreed, promptly firing Conway – although…

A few months ago, United Airlines announced its deal with Starlink to offer in-flight internet access for its passengers. At the time, the airline said it would start testing the new service in early 2024 and then offer it on passenger flights later in the year. United has now accelerated this timeline a bit, with testing starting next month and the first passenger flight to offer Starlink, an Embraer E-175 regional jet, taking off this spring. When I talked to United’s Chief Customer Officer Linda Jojo, she told me the company had an aggressive schedule for the retrofit, with the installation…
