Securing Game Day Without Running a Second System
Unifying campus and venue security into a single operational platform eliminates fragmented workflows and accelerates incident response during major event surges. For most of the year, a college or large high school is defined by the steady rhythm of daily life, students moving between classrooms, activity in residence halls, and the constant flow of campus operations. On a home game night, that same footprint briefly holds tens of thousands of people moving through a handful of gates.

The Microsoft Outage, Cyber Disruptions, and Force Majeure Events
Recent media reports indicate that many organizations, across a range of business sectors (e.g., banks, airports, hotels) are facing widespread information technology (IT) outages due to a disruption impacting Microsoft operating systems. According to the reports, the IT outages are the result of supply chain “updates” and not a cyberattack.

The Inescapability of the Soul
“My soul magnifies the Lord,” says Mary, the Mother of God, greeting her cousin Elizabeth in the euphoric encounter that Christians have traditionally referred to as “the Visitation.” Mary’s stirring phrase has echoed across the centuries, inspiring poets and musicians alike (most famously J.S. Bach). The image it summons has a haunting simplicity: this humble Palestinian woman, through God’s providence, has become the lens through which all of mankind will see the face of God.
‘When freedom came, God disappeared’
Shortly before his death in January this year, the philosopher Sir Roger Scruton had completed an opera libretto, called An Angel Passes. It is now being set to music by the distinguished composer David Matthews, who has commented on its excellence as an operatic vehicle, perhaps in part because Scruton was himself the composer of two operas.
Laughter in the dark: ‘The Death of Stalin’
The Politburo and visiting Communist dignitaries on the platform at Stalin’s funeral; the speaker is Malenkov (©Keystone-France/Gamma-Keystone via Getty Images) I was intrigued to see Armando Iannucci’s new film The Death Of Stalin. It had been called “revolting” by the Russian Communist Party, and “disgraceful” by the Mail on Sunday’s Peter Hitchens. According to some it reflected on Vladimir Putin, while according to David Cameron it reflected on Theresa May.

What Is The Soul If Not A Better Version Of Ourselves?
Detail from Man with Crossed Arms (1899), by Paul Cézanne. Courtesy the Guggenheim Museum/Wikipedia What is the point of gaining the whole world if you lose your soul? Today, far fewer people are likely to catch the scriptural echoes of this question than would have been the case 50 years ago. But the question retains its urgency.

The Best Books on Philosophy for Teens
Before we get into the books, can you give me the elevator pitch that you use to tell teenagers and high school students why they should study philosophy? Studying philosophy develops clear thinking and the ability both to scrutinise and put forward arguments. It’s a subject in which you’re trying to work out the truth but at the same time working on yourself and working out who you are. There’s a line I like to steal from Richard Blackmur, a literary critic.
From old bore to sex god
Socrates, as every schoolboy knows, is not just a philosopher but the philosopher, Western thought’s great founding father, and the original Greek supergeek. As the early 20th-century academic Alfred North Whitehead declared: “The safest general characterisation of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of footnotes to Plato.” Plato, meanwhile, styled himself as the supplier of footnotes to Socrates.
