A little trick to get the children to bed
Getting kids to bed without dithering, stalling or tantrums is not easy, but a new iOS app might be just what the frazzled parent needs. The Siesta Testa uses modern technology and good old-fashioned trickery to get children to bed with minimal fuss. These days kids are used to the idea that gadgets don't work when the battery goes flat. The Siesta Testa app lets them believe that they too have batteries and the only way to charge them is through sleep. Simply hold their finger on the screen and the app will "scan" it using "biometric analysis". The result is based on the child's sleep routine entered during set-up, giving a high battery result after wake-up to a low result just before bedtime. Sadly it is unlikely to work on older/smarter kids. You're on your own there.
Clearing the closet of any skeletons?
Employees at a Goodwill store in Austin, Texas, received a shock as they sorted through donations during July. Someone had donated a human skull. The Austin Police Homicide Unit responded, and the skull was turned over to the Medical Examiner's Office. But police announced there did not seem to be any foul play, and the skull was wired together in such a way as to indicate it was an anatomical specimen.
