Apple Offers You A Way to See If You’re Addicted

Most of us would admit that we are on our phones too much. But do we know what “too much” really means? Now, Apple is helping you to figure that out. Starting now, anyone with an Iphone 5S or later can get those details about how often they interact with the device in their hands. The iOS 12 is currently available as a beta and will be coming to the general public later this year. It has a number of features, with the most central of them being Screen Time.

This took can be found under settings and it calculates the time that you spend on your phone each day and breaks it down by app and category. It shows you how many notifications you receive and how often you pick up that pesky phone.

Google has rolled out similar features for Android and Facebook is testing their own time-tracking version.

Certainly, it’s all a start.

Rick Garcia on Life’s Important Moments

Rick Garcia has always understood the importance of being a dad. Garcia is part of a large majority of men who view it as being one of life’s greatest roles. In the last few decades, the people who agree with Rick Garcia on the importance of the role of the father has “advanced dramatically” and analytical research is supporting this view, finding that: “father involvement has enormous implications for men on their own path of adult development, for their wives and partners in the co-parenting relationship and, most importantly, for their children in terms of social, emotional and cognitive development.” Media moguls like Rick Garcia and John Dickerson have, in the past, spoken about their families and how they have marked Father’s Day. For example, in 2011 Rick Garcia said: “I’ve been lucky to have had a long and exciting career as a journalist. I’ve experienced a lot of wonderful things in my life. But nothing has been more challenging and yet more satisfying than being a dad. I am blessed with three beautiful children and an amazing wife. If I can be half the father my dad is, then I’ll be doing alright. I look forward to a lazy Father’s day complete with family, a ballgame on TV and home made enchiladas.” In an article published for Father’s Day this year, John Dickerson discussed “the second year where [he doesn’t] have a father to buy a gift for” and what it is like to live without “the father who carried [him] on his shoulder with grit and grace.” Like Rick Garcia, in his article on Father’s Day, John Dickerson illustrates his piece with a picture of the father in his life. But with Dickerson it’s two: one of him with his father and another of him as the father…next time Garcia we want to see one with you and your dad too!

Get Paid to Move to Vermont

In an interesting campaign, Vermont is paying people to move to their state. Considering what a beautiful, relaxing and quiet state it is, it’s hard to believe that they need to convince people. But convince they are. Their government has pledge to pay American citizens as much as $10,000 to move to the state with the condition that you work full-time OUT of state. What’s the goal here? The state has only 623,657 residents and the new initiative that was signed into law by Gov. Phil Scott will boost these numbers for mobile workers.

The money will be a grant on a first-come, first-serve basis that will start in January of 2019. People can receive up to $5000 a year for two years. They have allocated $125,000 for the program in 2019, $250,000 for it in 2020 and $125,000 in 2021.
