We have spoken with families across the spectrum. From parents who firmly believe that our world's new reality is digital devices and you'd better fully embrace it or get left behind, to those who are staunch believers in no devices for kids in the home - period. Where do families think they fall on that scale and how do they know?
The answer is that the significant outliers know that they are outliers and they're right. For those parents who fall in the middle, most say that they think they probably a have a little less screen time consumption than average. For those who have more than average, but are not the outliers, they often believe that others misrepresent their own use and most likely participate screen time as much as they do.
So how can parents know without asking other parents directly, which is often cited as awkward? Most people report that their kids playing at other homes gives them a sense, with the biggest reveal being the age at which their child is allowed to own their own phone.

Last year Kiss my Teeth/Imagelala did a much more straightforward run down of the top ten riddims and singles of 2009, but this 2010 round-up goes a little deeper into the shifty geology that makes up this year's successes and failures in dancehall. In 2010 we saw the sometimes successful, sometimes brash shuffle dancehall took into new sounds, the systematic revoking of visas, catastrophic failures in album sales, the incredible personal branding successes and some serious bleaching. Read it all after the jump.

Gothenburg's Avatar describe themselves as "a dark, twisted circus sideshow that's built around bombastically grooving melodic death n' roll". Now on their seventh album with a multitude of singles, a live pedigree and a larger than life persona, this album promised to be a bit of fun.
As an opener, "Glory to Our King" sent shudders down my spine. Images flashed up in my head of power metal pomp, religiosity or Monty Python. The flashy guitar work of the following "Legend of the King" told me it was the first of these. The instrumental work and variation are great. There's plenty to get excited about as it's flamboyant and colourful. I was less keen on the vocals. Neither the clean vocals nor growls were particularly convincing. Then a crowd-rousing hey-hey-hey passage added more cheese. I liked the plaintive vulnerability of the vocalist, which had a strong air of Kingcrow's Diego Marchesi about it, but it didn't seem relevant to the song's theme. But all in all it's an eight minute journey which was well worth taking.
A problem I had with this album was that I either found myself into the vibe, or it completely passed me by, as happened with the folksy bluesy jazz rock of "The King Welcomes You to Avatar Country". I kind of like the eccentricity, and these songs have an anthemic quality about them. "King's Harvest" comes across in its heavy melody as a Swedish version of Rammstein, complete with death metal growls and eerie harmonies. It's there to be enjoyed, and I did. Now "The King Wants You" – do you notice a recurrent theme here? – but this regressed for me. Old school rock and naff vocals lead to nothing of substance. Ah, News at Ten. No, it's "The King Speaks" – a brilliant spoof. Bravo, Avatar. "A Statue of the King" is just as delightful thanks to its anarchic structure. Avatar prove their credentials for joining the Atrox school of insanity here. Oddness of form and an eclectic mixture of styles are a feature of Avatar's work, yet it's all couched in a classic rock metal cloak. This is very much a summary of "King after King", which manages to incorporate a catchy beat and chorus with the sound of a sore throat. By contrast wintery ambience hits us with "Silent Songs of the King pt 1: Winter Comes When the King Dreams of Snow". It's totally different, instrumental and gently evocative. In perhaps the only predictable moment of the album, part 2 "The King's Palace" follows. This time it's a rock metal melody, competent but not as regal as its title might suggest and a limp way to end the album.
Well, there's no doubt what the central theme is of this album. Avatar are to be commended for demonstrably throwing every ounce of their creativity into it. Yet "Avatar Country" is a strange album. For me it was like a collection of misfits but with ups, downs and sections to which I was indifferent. At its best it's fun and I appreciated the humour in it. It's also catchy, anarchic and atmospheric as well as being puzzling and banal. Furthermore, I struggled with some of the vocal styles. So you'll gather that I can't summarise "Avatar Country" in one sentence. I guess that has to be a positive quality.

Is it a race car, or a racy daily driver? Actually, the Rezvani Beast is a little bit of both. Based on the Ariel Atom racer, the USA-made Beast features a sleek carbon fiber body penned by Samir Sadikhov, who previously created both the Aston Martin DBC and the Ferrari Xerzi, as well as 19 inch wheels and aggressively slender headlights. It comes in two flavors: the 300 model, which packs a turbocharged 2.0L engine pumping out 315bhp and a 0-60 time of 2.9 seconds, or the 500, which is powered by a supercharged 2.4L engine cranking out 500 bhp and a 0-60 time of just 2.7 seconds. Either way, there's no way you'll be mistaken for slow.

When four journalism students hear that Amazon has partnered with Cal Poly to share its technology, they might not be shocked. After all, a giant tech company reaching out to a well-known polytechnic institution isn't completely inconceivable. But, when four journalism students hear that Amazon partnered with Cal Poly to share its technology in the hopes of changing the world, they hear a story.
We found out that Amazon's physical presence on campus was just established a few weeks ago at Cal Poly's Technology Park. The Tech Park houses technology-based businesses, particularly those focused on research and development. Now Amazon's Digital Transformation Hub has joined the park, it increases collaboration between Cal Poly and this portion of the tech industry.Much like Cal Poly's Learn by Doing method, we learned that Amazon has its own methodology for creating solutions to existing problems. They work backwards. Program Manager Paul Jurasin explained "first we write the press release, and then we work backwards to figure out how to get there." By picking the solution they want first, Amazon believes that will motivate progress and ensure that they eventually reach the exact result they want.
"Learning about the digital transformation hub was really eye opening. I didn't know that human trafficking was an issue in SLO until now," writer Lauren Goff said. "The only issue was the DT-Hub hasn't really done anything yet which was a bummer"
Our difficulty arose when we realized that although the Digital Transformation Hub may have a press release saying it harnessed Amazon Technology and Cloud Services to take steps toward ending human trafficking, because of the working backwards method Amazon uses, they may not have begun to take those steps yet.
"This was the most stressful project out of the three. The reason for that was because of how new the hub is. The program manager mentioned that it was only him and two interns at the moment. The interns were not available so I was stuck with one source," Isel Longoria said. "Because of that, this was a challenge. I was challenged to be more created and find ways to convey the message through imagery and other ways."
The story quickly became more about the brand-new partnership between Cal Poly and Amazon, and the potential impact it could have as the first educational institution to work with the tech-giant. By marrying Learn by Doing with Amazon's innovation processes, the DT-Hub hopes to solve non-profit, government and education sector challenges over the course of a 10-week quarter.
"The Digital Transformation Hub has a great foundation and I can't wait to see what incredible things they accomplish," Jordan Hanna, videographer, said. "It was so interesting to learn how the program works and about the partnership with Amazon."Overall , we all felt like the story we were telling was an interesting and compelling one. "The Amazon partnership isn't something that's well-known around campus, so it was cool getting to be part of the team that reported on it first," Outreach Lead Andi Di Matteo said.
We're all excited to see what the Digital Transformation Hub tackles next, as well as how it will be covered in the media.

Head Injuries in Children Need to Be Taken Seriously
When children take a tumble or get hit hard in a soccer game, it's second nature to brush them off, give them a kiss on the head, and send them back on their way. But when it comes to head injuries, neglecting to take action could have serious outcomes. Whether it's an auto accident or a slip-and-fall, head injuries in children need to be taken seriously and closely monitored.
"Head injuries" is a broad term that encompasses everything from a scratch to a traumatic brain injury. They can happen on the baseball diamond or playground, in your back yard, or in heavy traffic. Often, what appears to be a minor incident could actually result in a serious injury, which is why knowing more about head injuries in children is so important.
Boston Children's Hospital points out that head injuries and brain injuries are two separate matters. But when a child has a head injury, there is always the risk of the brain being harmed, which is why it's crucial to call the doctor if your child hurts his or her head. If there is blood, swelling, or a loss of consciousness, call 911.
- Head injuries are more common in boys.
- They often happen to children and adolescents.
- Hospitals see more head injuries during the spring, summer, and on weekends, when children are most likely to be outside.
The Brain Injury Association of America points out the most serious and potentially deadly form of head injury is called "traumatic brain injury" or TBI. This is usually defined or explained as changes in brain status or function or evidence of injury caused by a traumatic force.
They say falls account for 35% of TBI, auto accidents account for 17%, and being struck by something accounts for 16%. Though most of these injuries are classified as "mild", even a minor TBI can have lasting effects.
Traumatic brain injury one of the most common causes of death or disabilities in children across the nation. Some 564,000 children are seen in emergency rooms every year and 62,000 are hospitalized for head injuries.
Your child may come to you in tears after falling from playground equipment. But what appears to be a simple bump on the head could be a sign of a more serious injury. Because head injuries can quickly develop into life-or-death situations, it's important to monitor your child closely after a head injury.
A concussion, one of the most common head injuries, is a temporary change in mental function without permanent damage to the brain's structure. A concussion could cause your child to lose consciousness, become confused, or forget what caused the head injury. Common symptoms include:
- Nausea
- Headache
- Confusion
- Vomiting
- Irritability
- Loss of consciousness
Though concussions are considered a minor brain injury, they too need to be checked out by a doctor.
Obviously, the more serious a brain injury is, the more pronounced the symptoms will be. Loss of consciousness is perhaps one of the most common signs of a serious brain injury. But other symptoms of a severe head injury can include:
- Bleeding from the nose or ears
- Clear fluid draining from the nose or ears
- Vomiting
- Seizures
- Prolonged unconsciousness
- Debilitating pain
When children suffer a head injury, it's important to monitor them closely. If they exhibit any symptoms, seek medical attention. If they lose consciousness, are in severe pain, suffer a seizure, or are vomiting, call 911 or take them to an emergency room.
Time is of the essence after a head injury. Mitigating the effects of a serious injury begins with acting quickly and getting immediate medical care.
If your child has suffered a head injury as the result of the negligence of others, call the personal injury experts at The Millar Law Firm for a free consultation, today.

The Staffs and Worcester Canal played an important part in the development of the Industrial Revolution. It provided an outlet for the heavy industries of the Black Country, to the Severn, and hence to the port of Bristol. This video, a real collectors item filmed to Broadcast standards, captures the beauty and the atmosphere of the present day canal. Much of the industry has gone, and the journey along the canal is one of the most beautiful in the country. The canal passes through an extensive lake known as Tixall wide, where boaters can moor to watch the many species of water birds. It follows the attractive valleys of the river Sow, the Penk, Smeestow brook and the Stour. For part of its length it hugs the base of a spectacular old red sandstone cliff formation, at times passing beneath huge overhangs. Some of the locks are hewn out of the rock itself. It finishes at Stourport, an inland port with all the atmosphere of a seaside resort. This video is a must for anyone cruising the Staffs & Worcester or with an interest in the canals. (Run Length 57 mins)
In PAL DVD-R format, suitable for the UK, European and Australia / New Zealand markets. Will also play in laptops anywhere.

UL India, a safety consulting and certification company, is counting on new rules planned by the government for a third-party certification to grow in the country, along with a focus on renewable energy, electronic transactions and ensuring the safety of buildings, said Suresh Sugavanam, vice president and MD, South Asia.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Illinois-based Underwriters Laboratories, the company plans to expand to new cities in India and Bangladesh and is gradually getting into advising companies about safety compliance at an early stage, Mr. Sugavanam said in an interview.
"We are primarily a testing body now. However, with the new BIS Act…, it has the provisions to allow third parties such as us to also act a certification agency," he said.
The testing, inspection and certification market is expected to be worth $247.94 billion by 2023, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets.
It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.02% from $184.77 billion in 2017.
The growth will be mainly driven by harmonisation of standards, growing consumption of goods in emerging countries and imposition of rigorous government regulations across various sectors.
"There are areas…, for example in medical devices, one or two areas have been approved [by India] but business is yet to start. Indian medical rules came into effect in January this year. Medical devices are very complex as they go from simple gloves to syringes and CT scans. Anything that goes into the body is of extreme risk.
"For certain low-risk categories, the Indian government is allowing third-party certification. That is starting. We are awaiting clearance… It may take a few months. They go through their checks and process," Mr. Sugavanam said.
Testing labs
UL South Asia has set up four multi-speciality labs in India. These laboratories test products ranging from electricals to garments and shoes. Four such labs are in India — three in Bengaluru and one in Gurugram.
The fifth laboratory for textiles is based out of Dhaka.
The Indian government's decision to allow third-party certification would be one of the drivers of growth, he said, The parent firm is a not-for-profit organisation focussed on research, outreach, setting standards and educating the customer.
Rather than advising clients after a product is developed, UL South Asia is helping them comply with safety, security, and sustainability at the research and development stage, he said.
"We constantly look at… cost of compliance. If it is a mobile phone, we have to test its electrical [connections], the radiation and the communication protocols, whether its Bluetooth will work with the audio and the car…
Cost of non-compliance
"At the same time, you also look at the cost of non-compliance. If you eventually end up launching a product which is not compliant with the standards and therefore, if it catches fire when you charge or if it creates excessive radiation, it damages not just reputation but your company can be completely obliterated. The cost of compliance as a rule of thumb for any product is about 0.1% of the revenue. The cost of non-compliance will be much bigger."
UL South Asia is working with 30 medical start-ups at an early stage.
"If you are designing a product in India, some of these… don't even have a regulation. Frankly, you and I can make a blood glucose monitor in our backyard and sell. Nobody is going to ask a question in India. If you sell these devices in the Middle East there are rules you [have] to follow. USFDA is even more strict."
Mr. Sugavanam said the opportunity for renewable energy and transaction security was "huge" in India.
"Renewable energy in India will be huge for at least the next six to seven years. If you look at the pace at which wind and solar energy is growing, the grid connectors and other applications for the solar industry is growing at the same pace at which the wind sector went through in the nineties. That creates a growth area for us.

RV Living is a rapidly growing trend in the USA. "RV Unit Shipments" have seen year over year growth for the last nine years. In fact, the annual number of shipments has almost tripled since 2009.
But, why?!
RV camping isn't a new idea. It's been a "thing" since the 50s. However, the perfect storm has rocketed the popularity of RV Living into the zeitgeist of both America and worldwide!
Today (with no scientific study) I'm sharing a few theories about why I think RV living has exploded in popularity.
The Internet
The Internet is to be blamed for everything in modern life – for better or worse – and RV living is no different. It allows nomads to earn income remotely, it makes researching the lifestyle super easy, and romanticized pictures of RV living abound!
In addition, the availability of semi-affordable cellular internet has made the internet easier than ever to access.
The Mobile Internet Resource Center dedicates ALL its time to sharing information and educating people about all thing cellular-internet.
The Housing Bubble of 2008
The Housing Bubble of 2008 rocked investments and small businesses across America. Anytime the economy takes a downturn people must adapt.
Some folks were forced into the nomadic lifestyle as an affordable alternative. Some people lost faith in the system. And, others just had enough of the rat race.
I don't think RV living is a direct result of the housing bubble, but I do think it was a key element in shifting the human mindset about the value of time, work, government and freedom.
Boomers Retiring into RV Living
This is an area I don't know much about. I know there are a ton of retired Boomers in RV living, but I don't know why they chose it.
Like all things, I'm sure the reasons are infinite. I think the housing bubble still comes into play here, but I also see high-rolling, motor-coach driving Boomers that seem to have huge retirement accounts.
There is no denying that the largest generation has a penchant for RVs!
What Do You Think?
We'd love to hear about the reasons why you think RV life is so popular these days! Fill us in with your wisdom 😍

With significant functional and maintenance issues and an image out of context with its historic neighborhood, the bank decided to replace the facility. SOA was tasked with designing a new branch on the same site, phasing construction so that the existing bank could remain operational during construction. Once the new building was complete and open for business, the former bank was demolished making way for new parking and a drive-thru ATM and canopy.

Business listings refers to the listing of businesses in various business directories. At present, there are a large number of business directories available all over the world. The Yellow Pages is the most famous business directory in the world.
The business directories contain information about various types of businesses of different sizes, for example, small and medium scale businesses, home based businesses, and large scale businesses. The business listings are quite useful for both business enterprises and their customers.
The business directories function as principal guidebooks for the business entrepreneurs. The phone numbers, contact addresses, and various other types of information about all the businesses are listed on the directories.
These directories are published in order to provide necessary information to people interested in doing business. The Yellow Pages business directory can be available in all the countries of the world.
With the advent of Internet and various other information technology tools, the business directories are also made available online or over the Internet, and they have become more popular simply because of the reason that online business directories offer a lot more information than the conventional printed business directories.

Dusty Springfield
During the British pop invasion on Yank shores, Dusty Springfield kept Swinging London alive with the sounds of American Soul and Vocal Pop. Like a tea-sipping combination of Peggy Lee and Dionne Warwick, she brought some much needed class to the pimply pop masses. Her voice, a husky but subdued instrument, purred rather than roared -- her love of R&B filtered through her British reserve like light going through a diamond. This approach worked perfectly on material written by her favorite teen drama tunesmith teams, Goffin/King and Bacharach/David. Going stateside, she recorded the sublime Dusty in Memphis with Aretha Franklin's production team. Instead of being a down-home gritfest, it contains her most glistening, uptown material. The perfect summation of a career.
Dusty Springfield Concert Films
Live At The Royal Albert Hall 1979
Dusty Springfield
Year: 1978
Runtime: 57 minDusty Springfield is Britains greatest ever pop diva and the possessor of one of the finest and most soulful voices of all time. She dominated both the UK and US charts throughout the sixties with a string of hit singles that have stood the test of time as true classics. Originally a member of the folk trio The Springfields, from whom she took her stage name, she became a solo artist in 1963 after being exposed to the magic of Motown whilst playing in America and became probably the finest ever white soul singer. Diagnosed with breast cancer in the mid-nineties she died in 1999 at the age of just 59.
This concert, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in 1979 in the presence of HRH Princess Margaret, captures Dusty at the height of her career. The show is packed with hits (including 9 UK top 10 singles), which are delivered with all the glitz and panache that were Dustys trademark and have made her a major gay icon as well as beloved of music fans everywhere.

In Dreams
Roy Orbison
Year: 2006
Runtime: 1 hr 30 minFrom his hardcore '50s Memphis rockabilly start to his symphonic 1960s pop masterpieces and his stunning 1980s comeback, Roy Orbison's uniformly extraordinary recordings still rank today as some of American music's finest. Gifted with a soaring voice that conjured vulnerability and loss with acute precision, the Texas-born singer-songwriter-guitarist wasted no time-- he had his own radio show at age ten and formed his first rock 'n' roll band, The Teen Kings, in 1955. Recording at Sam Phillips' legendary Sun Studios alongside Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash, Orbison was still seeking his ideal sound and, after parting ways with Sun, finally found it, with 1960's ""Only The Lonely."" Orbison's creativity gave birth to a unique, highly individualized, orchestral pop-rock style that resulted in a series of masterpieces and made him an international star. By 1988, Orbison was enjoying a dream comeback: topping the charts with songs that once again cemented his reputation as a pop genius; but ultimately, death claimed him too soon. In Dreams (which marks this legend's 70th Anniversary) is a definitive 90-minute documentary that charts the entire grand trajectory of his unrivaled career and includes in-depth interviews with Roy as well as many of his admirers.

Reunion Concert
The Everly Brothers
Year: 1983
Runtime: 1 hr 15 minWhen asked recently for the most memorable moment of his career, Phil Everly replied "the Albert Hall reunion". It was September 1983, and ten years on from one of the most acrimonious splits in popular music history, when the Everly Brothers, Don and Phil, took to the stage at London's Royal Albert Hall. The Everlys had dominated the charts in the late fifties and early to mid sixties. Their close harmony singing, acoustic guitars and brilliant songwriting had become instantly recognisable and inspired millions of fans worldwide. On an emotional night in London, the reunion was a success and led to the renewal of their partnership and many more years of success, which continue to this day. Bonus Features: "Rock 'n' Roll Odyssey" – this documentary, made at the same time as the Albert Hall reunion, tells the complete story of the Everly Brothers up to that point in time.

Queens of Pop
Diana Ross
Year: 2011

The government has included the 42.5-megawatt Sanjen and 111MW Rasuwagadi hydropower projects in the government's programme titled 'Nepal's Water, People's Investment' today.
The Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation has decided to include both the projects in the programme. The meeting of the programme's coordination committee has also decided to issue extra 15.4 million units of shares for both the projects. However, the committee is yet to decide on the number of shares that will be issued for each project.
Earlier, Sanjen and Rasuwagadi projects had each issued 25 per cent shares as initial public offering to the public. Of the total shares allotted, 15 per cent had been allocated to the general public and 10 per cent to the project-affected locals.
Both the projects are in the construction phase and have completed more than 50 per cent of the physical works. The projects are being developed by subsidiary companies of Nepal Electricity Authority — Rasuwagadi Hydropower Company Ltd and Sanjen Jalavidyut Company Ltd.
Prabin Aryal, joint secretary and spokesperson for the ministry, informed that the decision to include both the hydropower projects in the 'Nepal's Water, People's Investment' programme was made so as to increase the participation of people in hydropower shares.
"Both the projects are in the construction phase and will be completed on schedule, so we decided to include them in the programme."
The government had launched the 'Nepal's Water, People's Investment' programme on February 13 with an aim to raise Rs 102.3 billion through equity shares from the public to build over one-and-a-half dozen hydropower projects.
The programme aims to generate 3,479 megawatts of electricity by investing Rs 698.8 billion in 19 hydropower projects.
As per plan, the government had earlier issued shares of the 37MW Upper Trishuli III B hydropower project located in Nuwakot district.

We're just 7 days into the new year and 2019 has already claimed its first game, three of them in fact. Robot Entertainment has announced the Orcs Must Die! Shut Down is set to take place on April 8th. On that day Hero Academy and Hero Academy 2 will also sunset.
In the announcement, Robot Entertainment said that they have been operating the three games at a loss for many months and that it is no longer sustainable to do so. With this move the only games the company will have available for purchase are Orcs Must Die! And Orcs Must Die! 2. If you haven't already given them a try the staff at MMOGames highly recommends them.
So, what does this mean for the future of Robot Entertainment? Well, at the moment they've only said that they will shift their focus to future games and make investments there. They have two games in the works that they aren't quite ready to talk about yet. But, their hope is that they'll be ready to talk about them sometime in 2019. Speaking of investments, Tencent owns a minority stake in Robot Entertainment for an undisclosed amount.
Until the games shut down players will be able to log in where they will have been given large amounts of hard and soft currencies so they can enjoy what time remains in the game. These may take up to 24 hours to hit your account, so if you log in and don't see them, don't worry too much.
It's incredibly sad to see Orcs Must Die! Unchained shut down, especially so soon in the new year. Orcs Must Die! Is an MMOGames favorite and hopefully one of those two titles is another OMD game. We will, of course, be keeping a close eye on their future projects and keep our fingers crossed that it's an online title so we can write about it.

As the year starts to wind down, so does our late night talk shows. Some of the hosts are starting to take time off this week including Jimmy Kimmel, along with the Late Late Show's James Corden who's doing a half-week.
This week starts off with an animated special from the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. It will be an all cartoon Late Show on the special that Stephen Colbert is calling "Stephen and Jon's Cartoon Thanks-travaganza." Expect to see a lot of the "Cartoon President." We mean the animated "Cartoon President" on the Late Show, not the real life cartoon president currently living in the White House.
Tuesday night is one for fans of the old school "Daily Show with Jon Stewart." First, there'll be a reunion on the Late Show on CBS as former "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart once again returns to visit his former correspondent Stephen Colbert. On Tuesday's Late Show, Colbert will be flipping the script and taking a seat in the guest's chair while his guests including Jon Stewart, sit behind Colbert's desk to interview him. Other guests on Tuesday who will playing Late Show host include Neil deGrasse Tyson and CNN's Jake Tapper. Meanwhile over at NBC, another successful alumni of the "Daily Show with Jon Stewart," John Oliver will be sitting down as a guest on the Tonight Show.
On Wednesday night, if you're looking for some holiday nostalgia, here's a non-comedy highlight for you. The now grown up star of the Christmas classic "Home Alone" Macaulay Culkin will be on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. It should warm your heart to that the little boy once beloved by America is now a retired, nearly 40 year old chain smoker.
On Thursday, we've got plenty of stand up comedy in late night. Jourdain Fisher, who was one of the comedians named to the New Faces showcase at this year's Just for Laughs festival in Montreal, will be making his national television comedy debut on the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Jourdain was also once a finalist at the NBC Stand Up Showcase. Stephen Colbert has stand up as well on Thursday night's Late Show. He'll welcome one of our favorites, Emma Willmann, back to the Ed Sullivan Theater this week after a scheduling problem last week when she was originally listed to appear. A return to the Late Show is the perfect way for Emma to cap off a break-out year in comedy. In 2018 alone, she was part of the hit Netflix special, "The Comedy Lineup", she had guest spots on "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" on the CW and the Pete Holmes HBO comedy "Crashing", plus she co-hosts the popular podcast "Inside the Closet" with Matteo Lane which is available on iTunes.
And on Saturday, SNL is back live with new shows before the mid-season break starting this weekend with host Claire Foy. She's had a phenomenal year in the movies with the films "First Man" starring Ryan Gosling and "The Girl in the Spider's Web" which is the sequel to "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", the films based on the characters originally created by Stieg Larsson. Claire will be joined on Saturday Night Live by musical guest Anderson .Paak.
You've got a lot of late nights to look forward to. Enjoy.

SCHED_RR_GET_INTERVAL(2) Linux Programmers Manual SCHED_RR_GET_INTERVAL(2)
sched_rr_get_interval - get the SCHED_RR interval for the named process
int sched_rr_get_interval(pid_t pid, struct timespec * tp);
sched_rr_get_interval() writes into the timespec structure pointed to
by tp the round-robin time quantum for the process identified by pid.
The timespec structure has the following form:
struct timespec {
time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */
If pid is zero, the time quantum for the calling process is written
into *tp. The identified process should be running under the SCHED_RR
scheduling policy. POSIX systems on which sched_rr_get_interval() is
available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in .
On success, sched_rr_get_interval() returns 0. On error, -1 is
returned, and errno is set appropriately.
EFAULT Problem with copying information to userspace.
EINVAL Invalid pid.
ENOSYS The system call is not yet implemented (only on rather old ker
ESRCH The process whose ID is pid could not be found.
Linux Notes
POSIX does not specify any mechanism for controlling the size of the
round-robin time quantum. However, Linux provides a (non-portable)
method of doing this. The quantum can be controlled by adjusting the
processs nice value (see setpriority(2)). Assigning a negative (i.e.,
high) nice value results in a longer quantum; assigning a positive
(i.e., low) nice value results in a shorter quantum. The default quan
tum is 0.1 seconds; the degree to which changing the nice value affects
the quantum has varied somewhat across kernel versions.
sched_setscheduler(2) has a description of the Linux scheduling scheme.

Licensed nurses at every level must continue to look for new opportunities for training and education in order to enhance their academic and clinical experience and improve the quality of their practice. Nurses commonly enroll in accredited training programs and continuing education courses so that they can fulfill the requirements that are needed to renew their licenses.
There are even continuing education opportunities for nurses at the masters and doctorate levels. This is especially true for advanced practice nurses (APNs) who have specialized skill sets. Continuing education is particularly important for APNs who not only have to keep their skills sharp but must also keep up with scientific and technological advances in their specialty field.
Continuing education and clinical experience also provide you with a way to strengthen your resume and help you find the best career that is available at your level. Advancing your education makes you more valuable to your employer and on the job market if you ever want to look for a new job.
While many continuing education programs are optional, some are required by state law, by certifying organizations and by healthcare employers. The California Board of Registered Nurses, for example, requires RNs to complete 30 hours in continuing education courses every 2 years. The specific requirements where you live will probably be different, but almost every state has official continuing education standards for nurses.
Sometimes a continuing education or advanced training program will be specific to your specialization. Other times, however, they are general courses on topics like research, patient care, coping with death or interpersonal relationship skills.
Common continuing education courses
Continuing education courses offer a variety of ways for you to train for jobs at a more advanced level or to simply improve the skills that you use in your daily practice. These courses can be refresher classes on basic medical techniques and terminology or they can be training in advanced practice or new medical technology.
Wound care
Wound care courses teach nurses about the essential aspects of wound care. You will practice strategies for cleansing wounds, identifying the signs of infection and discovering factors that prevent healing. In this course, you will develop the skills that you need to treat acute and infected wounds and identify the phases of healing.
Risks of anesthesia
This course allows advanced practice nurses to pursue further training in fields that involve the use of clinical anesthesia. In this course, you will learn how to track a patient's physical reaction to these drugs before, during and after medical procedures. You will also develop the skills that you need to use a patient's medical records as a tool to assess their risk for anesthesia-related health complications.
Humor and nursing
This course is usually open for all types of nurses and helps them to understand how humor can build strong patient relationships and even promote health. During the course, you will learn about the positive physiological effects of laughter and get practical tips on how to include humor in your everyday clinical practice.
Taking your continuing education nursing classes online
If you want continuing education resources and training online that goes beyond what your workplace offers, you will find a number of online programs and resources that are offered by universities and independent continuing education course providers. If you work in a hospital, simply ask your nurse educator about these options.
Another excellent online training resource is the Nursing Continuing Education Directory (NCED). This convenient website compiles and organizes hundreds of continuing education resources for nurses from a variety of sources. The directory includes information on continuing education courses for RNs, LVN/LPNs and advanced practice nurses.
The NCED's collection of resources is organized by general nursing fields like cardiology, critical care and oncology. Simply click on your area of specialization and you will find a long list of available classes. The directory includes the name and price of the course as well as a link to the website of the organization that provides it.
The American Nurses Association also offers independent study modules that help professionals deepen their knowledge and adapt their skills to new science and medical technology. Students who complete courses from this nationally recognized nursing organization demonstrate their clinical expertise and experience in their specialization.

Making a Difference
The Food Bank is open at St Matthew's Church on Tuesday & Thursday from 04.00pm to 06.00pm
St Matthews Foodbank – part of the Trussel Trust
St Matthews Foodbank has been helping families in need for over 6 years and we have 8 teams and we open every Tuesday and Thursday in the church hall between 4 and 6 pm.
Father Martin and the Parishioners of St Matthews have been very generous over this period and we have been joined by Our Lady of Mount Carmel, St Kentigerns and Kay Park church. St Joseph's Academy and Grange Academy have also been very supportive.
The East Ayrshire Foodbank last year supplied, with the help of public donations over 5000 food parcels. We carefully put together a balanced diet with cereals, pastas, soups, tins of meat, tuna, sauces, rice, custard, fruits, toiletries etc
People are referred to the Foodbank by Health Care professionals and Care Agencies. The Council for Voluntary organisations underpins all activities including all movement and delivery of food crates.
We thank everyone for their support and trust it will continue. It would be nice to think that we might not be required to keep helping but I fear our services with your help will continue to make a difference to many families and individuals who are in need in our area. If you feel you could help out either with donations or by being a volunteer on Tuesday and Thursday between 4pm and 6pm, please respond through Father Martin who will pass on details.
Please help increase food stocks. There is a box at the back of the Church for all donations of nonperishable food.

Prayer and My Mother: Part Deux
One of the main topics of discussion in my life currently is adoption. Everyone asks us where we are in the process. As we meet with real estate agents looking for a bigger house, the agent always asks if we have kids. My husband and I are reading parenting books on the subject. I also talk on the phone with my mother three or four times a week (we are talkers) and it is a source of conversation there too.
The past few weeks I have been watching as a former co-worker's adoption placement has burned and failed. This is their second failed placement. In adoption circles they call this disruption. Now whether I agree with their methods or even whether I think they are doing the right thing is irrelevant to the prayer conversation my mother and I had over it. Basically, my mother went on a ten minute lecture concerning prayer. Her nuggets of wisdom included the following, not exactly verbatim, but definitely accurate phraseology:
"You have to pray a lot because otherwise your adoption placement will fail."
"You would be amazed at how prayer can change things so quickly in kids like this."
"I know prayer doesn't erase the past, but God can erase the hurt."
"I wouldn't have made it through you guys growing up if I hadn't prayed."
"Some days I just prayed I wouldn't kill you, and it worked!"
So let's dissect these things shall we. The first is an absurd illogical notion. If you don't pray your adoption placement will fail? 97% of adoptions are successful. Not all of the parents who adopt are Christians. Some are agnostic, some atheist, many are from varying denominations with different views on prayer and as hard as it is for Christians to believe, some are even people of other faiths who pray to other Gods. It would not be incorrect to assume that there are many successful adoptions in which not a single prayer was prayed. But wait, the Christians will cry, even if the parents weren't praying, someone out there was. Now, I will get into this further with the next paragraph, but suffice to say, intercessory prayer from afar has been shown to not only NOT work, but also to have more negative results. The idea that prayer is the only reason why something can be a success is insane. Bill Gates is a non-theist and has had great amounts of success. Personally, I haven't prayed (not in the way my mother is suggesting) in years and yet my life has gotten better since I stopped. If the amount of time spent praying equals success then there are a lot of people out there that should not be successful and millions more who should be. And there should be a lot more failed adoptions.
The second idea, that prayer will somehow fix these kids in a short amount of time is troubling. Numerous studies have been done throughout the years concerning prayer and tough situations such as illness and family struggles. At best, prayer seems to work as a calming placebo effect although only if the one being prayed for is actually aware of it and believes in the power of prayer. However, a study done by the Harvard Medical School showed that intercessory prayer done from afar without the recipient's knowledge not only has no effect, but patients actually fared worse. Even more troubling is the notion that if there is a God, we humans have the power to intervene in the workings of the world. If we just pray the right way to the right God we will tip the scales in our favor and he will work that illusive miracle. In this case the miracle would be to get over the psychological scars after years of extreme neglect and/or abuse, institutionalization, medication, foster care, and broken promises in a very short amount of time in order for that child to blend into your family. Frankly, I would be worried if this happened as I would think the child may be hiding those things from me in an effort to be "perfect". Or perhaps they aren't dealing with these issues in the way they need to, burying feelings rather than dealing with them. I don't want my kid to magically get better, I want my kid to slowly learn to do deal with their past and still move forward. I would also state that having this expectation, that prayer equals a quick fix, is more likely to cause a disrupted adoption since the expectation is unrealistic to the circumstances.
Of course, I said as much to my mother who quickly jumped to the fact that of course the past can't be erased, but somehow God can erase the hurt. This is of course based off the assumption that whenever somehow overcomes something difficult they only did it because God worked some kind of miracle in their life. Remember, we are not talking about a physical problem here. We aren't talking about how someone in their church gave the $50 or how they somehow got groceries for an extra week. This is about the deep psychological hurt that was caused when a mother, who should have loved her child, sat in the room as her boyfriend burned her child with cigarettes. We are talking about a child whose mother may have actively been a part of prostituting their child at a young age. We are talking about a parent who may have starved your younger brother to death and you couldn't do anything to save them because you were so frightened. We are talking about a father sexually abusing his 1 1/2 year old baby with a broom handle to the point that she won't ever be able to have children. You want to know what I think helps heal those wounds? Therapists, doctors, foster parents, caring family members who didn't know what was going on, patience, understanding guidance, realistic expectations, love tempered by logic, sustained support. Those scars will follow them for the rest of their lives. They will be fifty years old and their past will continue to haunt them. I don't believe for one second that if you just pray the right way those kid's hurt will be erased. Nor should it. That hurt has made them who they are, for good or bad, it is a part of them and needs to made into something constructive by the people who love them.
And now for my mother's assertion that without prayer she would not have made it through. This is true. My mother was a young mother with some serious anger issues. In my home, yelling, fighting, and hitting were normal. Expected even. One of my mother's favorite statements was "God will never give you more than you can handle." She had to believe this because truth was, she had been given more than she could handle. I challenged her on this notion when I was an adult and her comment was, "God does give you more than you can handle so that you have to rely on him." I love my mother, but the truth is she was verbally and physically abusive. Her spankings were always done out of anger and sometimes they were excessive. One particular incident my mother chased me around the house and then outside all the while counting up the number of times I was going to be spanked. 11. 12. 13. Eventually I ran to a tree and tried to climb. My mother yanked me out of the tree, but instead of falling my foot got caught in the tree limb. She continued to yank until I tumbled to the ground with a very hurt ankle. "You're not hurt," she snarled at me before marching inside. "Come inside when you're ready for your spankings." Meanwhile, I am sitting on the ground crying and trying to assess whether my ankle was just sprained or broken. There was skin missing, there was already some bruising, and it was bleeding from the tree scraping it. I sat out there for an hour until my dad came home. Not once did my mom come and check on me. My dad had to carry me inside and put ice on it and to say that he was livid about the situation would be an understatement. As much as I am loathe to admit it, because I know my mother loves me, she was abusive. At one point my dad finally said that they needed to take some parenting classes. I have always been a bit jealous of my brothers because, being much younger, they benefited greatly from my parents' new parenting skills in a way I never did.
Was it prayer that enabled my mother to make it through a day without killing one of us, or was it the fact that she took a few minutes out of her day to quietly meditate and escape the insanity? Scientific evidence would point to the second option. Ultimately, what led to her being a better mother were parenting classes, a husband who became more aware of her needs in the home, and age.
I know Christians want prayer to work. The Bible says it works. Everyone has heard that story from a friend of a friend about something miraculous happening. It is so easy to chalk up ordinary events to God answering prayer. $5 in my pocket must mean that God knew you needed $5 and magically put it in your pocket. The answer can't be that you left it there last week. They believe that prayer keeps them in tune with God, but I reject the notion that something should fail because someone didn't pray enough. This is like a twisted faith healing theology. You didn't get healed? When you must not have had enough faith. Come back next week when your faith quotient is higher and maybe God will be gracious enough to grant you healing. Your adoption is failing. You must not be praying enough. Come back next week when you have spent a few hours in prayer and maybe things will magically get better.

Wireless Sensor Development Board
Added by wolfpackmars2 over 6 years ago
I'm posting this information in case it helps someone. I'll try to keep it updated, but at this time there's not much anticipation that this will be further developed.
The files were created using KiCad. The Arduino sketch was created using Arduino 1.5.4. This board is a breakout board for a Jeenode Micro V3. It adds a 5V power supply for interfacing with a Freescale MPXV pressure sensor. This board provides two main interfaces: a header for the Jeenode Micro and a header for the components provided by the Development board. A standard ISP header is also included, to ease programming the Jeenode Micro. A few obvious connections are made by the board, such as routing some BATT power and routing the 5V power to the MPXV sensor. Most other connections are left for the user to connect however they wish (hence - why this is called a development board).
The schematics are intentionally incomplete. Read the extensive notes in the drawing for more information about what's needed to make this work. This board was designed in order to assist in developing a digital furnace filter monitor. As implemented and described, it does work, although it's rough and there's plenty of room for improvement.
EDIT: 2013.11.30 I've added a sample log file of the data received on the RaspberryPI. The file is sample_pi_log.csv and includes a header for each column to explain each byte. Each row of data represents one transmission from the Jeenode Micro, spaced about 1.5-2 seconds apart. No power saving features are implemented, other than turning off the 5V power (and thus the Pressure Sensor) when not being used. Also added sample_pi_log.xlsx (Excel 2010 format), which translates the raw data into human readable data with real-world data meanings. The excel workbook contains a separate worksheet which explains the formulas used to convert the raw data into human readable values. Also added a screen shot of the Value Charts from the Excel spreadsheet.
This information is Copyright © 2013 Steve Groesz, and released under the 3-clause BSD license.
The notes from the schematic are copied here.
This is a development board for testing only. None of the signals are connected to the
microcontroller as a result. Connections are made using jumpers between the Board I/O
and Jeenode I/O headers. Also, this schematic is incomplete. During development, it was
realized that the MPXV sensor would output UP TO 5V, which, if connected to an ATTiny
input pin, would potentially destroy that input or the whole mico controller when the
ATTiny is configured for 3V signalling (as the Jeenode Micro V3 is). As a result, any
voltages greater than 3V (or that have the POTENTIAL to be greater than 3V) require a
resistor divider to bring their voltage down to a MAX of 3V. Luckily, the same 5V to 3V
voltage divider can be used for all voltages to be measured (20k top/30k bottom).
A 20k/30k voltage divider will take a MAX 5V signal and make it a MAX 3V signal. Use
the Batt Sense circuit as an example. The Batt Sense voltage divider allows up to 5V
of battery voltage (3xAA) to be measured. This does not interfere with the sensitivity
of the ADC, since at 3V signalling 3V will be FullScale - ie 3xAA fresh AA batteries at 4.9V
will measure a little under 3V on the microcontroller, which the microcontroller will
report as between 950-1000 where 1024 is FullScale with a 10-bit ADC.
Also, the 10-bit ADC of the ATTiny84 proved insufficient to register the small pressure
changes that we are looking for when monitoring a furnace filter. In order to take full
advantage of the sensitivity of the MPXV pressure sensor, a 16-bit ADC similar to the
Texas Instruments ADS1115 (adafruit breakout board ID 1085) or the 18-bit ADC
MicroChip MCP3424 (http://jeelabs.net/projects/hardware/wiki/Analog\_Plug) is
required. Using the ADS1115 is not so simple, since the Adafruit library requires the
Wire library, which is incompatible with the Jeenode Micro.
The memory chip (U2) has not been tested at all. It was thrown in to possibly permit
OTA updates (see Moteinos @ LowPowerLabs.com). However, as of now, I have not
spent any time attempting to get this to work. The flash chip could also be used as
a temporary data storage. It's possible the memory chip could interfere with RFM12
or ISP programming, since it shares the same data lines. However, my development
board has had a memory chip installed (but not used), and no interference with either
function has been noticed.
Hooking it up:
The following connections have been tested:
- Assemble PCB correctly using components identified in this drawing.
- Add an Adafruit ADS1115 breakout board
- Add a 20k/30k resistor divider. Connect PRESS to the top of this divider; connect
ADS1115 A0 to the middle of this divider. For this and all resistor dividers, connect
the bottom of the divider to GND.
- Add another 20k/30k resistor divider. Top of divider connects to +BATT; middle
connects to ADS1115 A1.
- Connect +3V to ADS1115 A2. This is optional to monitor the 3V power rail.
- Add a third 20k/30k resistor divider. Top of divider connects to +5V power rail;
middle connects to ADS1115 A3.
- Connect DIO2 to 5V EN
- Connect DIO1 to ADS1115 SDA (bit-banged i2c Data)
- Connect GND to ADS1115 GND
- Connect +3V to ADS1115 VDD. NOTE: this makes the ADS1115 a 3V device - do NOT
exceed the max voltage - VDD+0.3 or 3v3 in this case - of the ADS1115, unless you
intend to release the magic smoke of the ADC. This is the reason for the 3 voltage
dividers used in this setup.
- Connect AIO1 to ADS1115 SCL (bit-banged i2c Clock)
Code considerations:
The ATTiny does not support the Arduino Wire library. A TinyWire library exists, but
it would interfere with the communications between the RFM12B. The only other
option is to use the i2c implementation provided by Jeelib. The Adafruit ADS1X15
library will not work since it relies on the Wire library. You will need to manually
translate the ADS1X15 library to be compatible with the Jeenode Micro. You could
also use the Jeelabs Analog Plug - I have not tested this but it should work much
better, and includes a native JeeNode library.

I haven't yet messed with any of the sleeping. I'm still trying to figure out my readings and what they mean. Once I have a method for monitoring the readings and I have it completely set up, I intend for it to only take a measurement once an hour (it will probably report the average of about 10 readings during the "reading period"). The sketch is set up so it transmits about once every 1.5s or so, once the delays are added up.
Now, with that said, what I CAN offer you is an excerpt of my PuTTY log taken from my RaspberryPI session. This will show the progression of battery voltage as the unit is running. What's interesting is that it's very easy to see the drain on the batteries as the unit runs, losing "1 bit" (.000125 VDC per bit) as the unit operates. It seems to drop every 3 or 4 transmissions or so. Remember, if you're using the internal 10bit ADC, your resolution will be considerably less. Given that the ADS1115 is effectively measuring at 15 bits of resolution, someone so inclined could calculate what this would look like with 10 bits of resolution…
I converted the log to CSV format and added a header row to show what each column of data means. The log has been added to the original post.

Yes, this will help me also because I'm trying to use a PIR sensor with my JeeNode Micro. I've posted a photo of it connected to a Really Bare Bones Board purchased from Modern Device. I got the PIR sensor from them, too. Either I don't understand how PIR sensors work and need some practice and fiddling to get the sketch and the hardware tuning correct, or this particular PIR sensor is a dud. I don't know which yet due to my inexperience — but I'll keep trying. The LED doesn't "turn on" when I wave my hand over the Fresnel lens. I have played a bit with the delay time adjustment pot, but it doesn't seem to help much. I was following this sketch
I do understand I have not fine-tuned this for a JeeNode Micro.
My intention is to connect the Micro to a PIR sensor and put this outside my door just where the doorbell button goes. Someone walks up to the door, and the sensor sees the person. This causes the JeeNode Micro to send a radio packet upstairs alerting a receiver, which in turn signals a relay, which turns lights on and off in a flashing arrangement. That tells me someone is at the door.

RE: Wireless Sensor Development Board - Added by wolfpackmars2 over 6 years ago
I've not messed with PIR sensors, and not a lot of information to go off of from the linked post. Does the PIR sensor require a pull-down resistor? Check out lowpowerlabs.com - I think he has a recent post about using a PIR sensor on a MOTEINO (which is similar to an RBBB).
RE: Wireless Sensor Development Board - Added by martynj over 6 years ago
Here is a good PIR thread to unpick.
The need (or not) for a pullup on the PIR output is discussed.

The California Right to Know campaign sent its partners this ad from the No on 37 camp today. If you are just tuning in, Proposition 37 is an initiative in California which would require genetically modified foods (GMOs) to be labeled. For obvious reasons, the giant food and beverage companies and GMO seed producing companies like Monsanto, oppose this Prop and are spending millions trying to defeat it. With all that money, it's downright funny that this ad was the best they could come up with. In all honesty, would this ad ever sway you to think labeling GMOs was a bad thing? What is the deal with the huge steak and unrecognizable can of dog food? This ad is so confusing I barely understood what they were trying to get at. If this is the best they got, things are looking good for mandatory labeling in California.

Today is a historic day. The Just Label It (JLI) Campaign announced this morning that a record-breaking one million Americans of all political persuasions have called on the FDA to label genetically engineered (GE) foods.
The campaign also announced a new national survey revealing that Americans across the political spectrum stand united in support of labeling food that has been genetically engineered. "Pink slime, deadly melons, tainted turkeys, and BPA in our soup have put us all on notice that what we eat and feed our families is critically important," said Ken Cook, President of the Environmental Working Group, a JLI partner. "Americans overwhelmingly demand safety, transparency and labeling of genetically engineered foods. It's time for the FDA to come clean and restore public confidence in our food system."
Since October, JLI, (www.justlabelit.org), the national campaign to require GE-food labeling and its more than 500 partner organizations have spearheaded an historic number of public comments for a GE-foods labeling petition (Docket #FDA 2011-P-0723-001/CP). Be Food Smart is proud to be one of these 500 partner organizations. March 27 is the date when the FDA is required to respond to the petition. It took less than 180 days to accumulate the record number of comments.
Continue reading…
Be Food Smart is a proud partner with the the Just Label It campaign. Our goal is to get mandatory labeling of genetically modified foods so every American can make an informed buying decision. Over 900,000 people have already told the FDA they want mandatory labeling. Have you made your voice heard?
Spread the word and help get us to one million comments!
Just Label It launched this infographic today about GMOs and labeling. Click on the image below to see the full infographic:
On my last trip to Indonesia, I ate papaya every day for two weeks straight. This tropical fruit is typically served after dinner as it is not only sweet but also aids in digestion. The papaya is peeled and de-seeded, chopped into bite-sized chunks, and displayed with lime wedges and dainty forks. I can tell you that not once did I tire of this luscious and delectable treat.
Today, the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) sent out a press release announcing that the Government of Japan will now allow commercial import of genetically modified papaya to Japan. The approved variety is called Rainbow papaya and it is grown in the state of Hawaii. Below, the USDA explains how and why Rainbow papaya was created:
