32、ach year； said Greg Price, who leads S&Ts first responder research and development programs. We want them to know that we have their backs, that we are working to give them the tools they need to ensure their own safety. POINTER is one of those life-saving solutions.Unlike positioning technologies s

33、uch as GPS or radio-frequency identification, POINTER doesnt use radio waves. Though radio waves offer a reliable means to determine your location in a relatively open space, they can become unpredictable if you go indoors or find yourself surrounded by high buildings. This may be a minor annoyance

34、when trying to find the location of an appointment, but it could be a life or death situation when trying to locate firefighters in a burning building.The POINTER system is composed of three parts: a receiver, transmitter, and base station. The firefighter wears the receiver, which is currently the

35、size of a cellphone but expected to become much smaller after further development. A transmitter that can be attached to emergencyvehicles outside the building generates the MQS fields, which travel through the building, pinging any receivers located inside over a range of about 230 feet (70 meters)

36、 in the current version of the system. This range can be extended but isnt needed in most fire-service applications. The receivers detect the fields, determine their 3D location, and then send that data back outside the building to a laptop (the base station). Visualization software shows where the

37、firefighters are in 3D space within an accuracy of a few inches. Not only can POINTER help firefighting teams locate team members through walls, MQS fields can also determine the orientation of the receiver.“This is a very exciting technology that adds another dimension to firefighters situational a

38、wareness J said JPUs Ed Chow, the POINTER program manager, Firefighters can be tracked in real time and, if they become unresponsive, their team members can see if they are trapped under debris or if they are injured so a rescue can be mounted.”The POINTER team is now planning to carry out a live we

44、ildren is negative parenting. Negative parenting tactics, such as lecturing, complaining, and yes, insulting can have a serious effect on your childs behavior and activities later on in life.

45、 confidence going into adulthood. Its not surprising hes hardly apt to actively seek out the companionship of others.

46、g results in ill- prepared children in an ever growing competitive world. A helicopter parent is overly involved in the life of his or her child. Children who cannot regulate their emotions and behavior effectively are more likely to have a harder time making friends and to struggle in school. Anoth

47、er problem children with helicopter parents may have in the future is managing their health. Taking all of this information into account, helicopter parenting doesnt allow the child to be independent, so once the child has grown up he or she will not be able to make a decision by himself or herself.

48、On the other side of the spectrum, permissive parenting leaves a child undisciplined for life. This style of parenting has a very loose structure and few rules; the parents usually show a lot of affection and love for their children. Therefore, permissive parenting is a type of parenting style chara

49、cterized by low demands with high responsiveness.

Therefore, children have worse self-control and cannot follow

50、 rules. These are fundamental concepts that should be taught at a young age to prepare for adulthood. If done a certain way, the effects left from parenting can hurt an adolescent into adult years.Overall, parenting really does affect how children grow and adapt to their world. Some parenting techni
