From the reading I've done on the subject and observing our almost 3 year old, the ipad gives a dopamine rush to the brain. Taking it away causes the dopamine to stop and anger/frustration ensues... At most he's allowed 1 hou

To prove your point, about 95% of the people I know from 14-85 have a Facebook account (personal anecdote..). out of those, most won't know about this information or care - and out of the small percentage that do, probably zero will cl

You haven't worked in a govt department have you. In one meeting the BA Ministry lead fell asleep and actually started snoring. In another, the ministry infrastructure architect said, "oh, that thing, I've lost the word, what

I admitted my mother to a care home the day before yesterday. Went to see her after her first night and she seemed shocked to see me initially, but settled after a few minutes. She knew who I was and asked where she was and why she was the
