5 Tips to Keep Your Kids' Screen Time Down

The digital age has made it virtually impossible to track children’s screen time. There is always a hustle for a child’s attention between smartphones and tablets, streaming services, and other activities that only form boundaries to healthier habits. For example, overscreening can be linked with low physical activity and sleep disturbances. We’ve prepared five useful tips that will empower you…

Idk why everyone thinks Crosshair was the chaotic misbehaving brother as a cadet. Mr. “Good soldiers follow orders” even without the chip? Mr. “Loyal to the Empire” even after they destroyed all Kaminoan cities and facilities and didn’t care enough to come back and see if there were any survivors? Mr. “Not immediately swayed by emotional convictions” even when they belong to those closest to him who he should trust above unseen authorities?

Even if you think obedience and compliance was hammered into him by those in charge and he had to learn to keep his head down or face the consequences, that doesn’t explain why it takes him so long to eventually accept the truth, despite the mounting empirical evidence he receives after the most dire possible circumstances that should show him that those in charge are wrong. It isn’t until Mayday’s death that Crosshair finally accepts the truth because it’s then that he’s being directly told by the people in charge that he and everyone like him is expendable and unnecessary.

Somebody with a rebellious youth is much more critical of authority figures even if they’re presently obeying them, and they’re much more ready to drop said authorities the second it’s a viable option and they physically can. Crosshair doesn’t behave like a dog that’s been beaten its whole life, he’s constantly making active decisions not only to follow the Empire but to enforce what the Empire dictates, even when he’s the one reaping the direct consequences of pushback on the ground for it. Because that’s what good soldiers do.

This guy was the kid following the rules by choice and getting mad at the others for finding loopholes or accomplishing things the ‘wrong’ way, especially if and when it got all of them in trouble (because they were kids and wouldn’t have always been right). Rules and structure are there for a reason. We’ve been here less than ten years, what on earth makes you think we know more than the people in charge? Why do I have to be punished because you guys couldn’t do as you were told?

To me the four of them (and Echo later) are a sliding scale when it comes to decision-making based on head vs heart. Crosshair and Tech are on one side, using logic and reason over emotion as their basis for decision-making and how they see the world, and Echo and Wrecker are more on the heart/instinct side of reasoning, putting people and ideals ahead of simply accomplishing objectives despite what the odds might be against them. Hunter’s the balance in the middle, being able to see both sides and weigh what the best option is based on the evidence and the context within which it’s being given. All of them have different fluctuating percentages of what’s going to motivate or drive them day by day, just based on the context of their circumstances, but that’s the general scale.

I think Hunter as a kid probably realized if he could get all of them to learn the rules as quickly as they could, then they’d know how to break them effectively with the least amount of repercussions and collateral damage. They were an experimental group for a reason and were likely given a modicum of wiggle room when it came to problem-solving, the Kaminoans not just allowing but pushing them to be more creative, flexible, and adaptable. They all know the hard rules of structure, chain of command, and behavioral compliance, but after that they’re given more freedom of choice. Their personal convictions inform both the why and how of following orders.

Wrecker is easier to figure out because he wears every thought and emotion on his sleeve and sees no reason not to. He’s more of a follower— Thinking is for other people, he’s a busy guy and man of action, give him something concrete with actionable directions and he’ll accomplish it with aplomb.

Tech, as a kid, likely knew both the spirit and letter of the law, which means he could see problems and solutions objectively regardless of his personal feelings/opinions and knew that rules are there to be guidelines: No structure is perfect and always following rules exactly was never going to always be the right decision. He would choose whichever seemed like the most logical, obvious route to success, finding loopholes and workarounds where he could as a means of balancing the consequences or fallout of said decision.

Hunter also knew both the spirit and letter of the law, but he was able to read situations and people better than Tech was, relying more on his gut instinct to tell him what the best course of action would be, even if that choice wasn’t the most logical. He’s a mediator and the best choice of leader because of his ability to get people working together by knowing how to convince each of them in their own way that this plan will accomplish their objective AND lead to the most amount of people being satisfied/happy in the end, them included. Despite the fact Hunter’s more reserved, he’s still a people person. It just happens to come from empathy, observation, and instinct, the latter two being qualities he was designed to specialize in.

Crosshair obeyed the letter of the law because structure exists for a reason and if that structure has yielded the best results and most success for the longest amount of time, then it’s obvious it must be the right one in place. Loopholes can be taken advantage of, but only when there isn’t an explicit wording against it or there is clear and mounting evidence that the rule doesn’t apply to him. To deviate from the majority in matters of how something is achieved is acceptable; to do so in matters of why is not.

Tim Drake, to me personally, is a selective genius. More accurately, he’s just an insanely fast learner when something even mildly interests him (typically something mentioned by Batman and/or Robin). Unfortunately this leads to weird and inconsistent gaps in his knowledge.

Like, for example, and referencing a post about him being unable to work computers I’ve made in the past, Tim learned all about PC hardware because Batman mentioned upgrading the Batcomputers specs once, which was then plastered across forums with the title of like “BATMAN SEEMS TO HAVE THE BUDGET OF NASA, IS THIS WHERE OUR TAX PAYER DOLLARS ARE REALLY GOING?” and Tim wanted to harness the power of the sun to create something similar. This led him down a rabbit hole, and now he can create a super computer from someone’s spare junk drawer. However, when it comes to installing software and actually using the PC beyond its basic functions? Uninteresting. The only reason he learned later on in his Robin career was because Barbra found his lack of ability to hack deeply concerning and decided to remedy it. She provided the proper motivation.

Other weird ass conversations include:

- Was able to deduce the strain of fear toxin that Damian was under, synthesize an antidote, and track Crane down to his warehouse at the Docks district within a three hour time period. (Bruce offhandedly mentioned that they should start writing down the effects of different fear toxins so that they could eventually identify which was which to make antidote administration easier, knowing it’d be an insane and labor intensive task that no one would really do because they were doing just fine currently. Tim promptly created a spreadsheet, copped the cowl footage, and got to work. He learned advanced chemistry for this, promptly bringing his barely passing grade up to an A within two months.)

- Once was able to list the entirety of Haley’s Circus lineup over the years, correctly identifying which performers had been kidnapped by the Court of Owls, yet couldn’t name a single United States president before the year of 2012. (Got embarrassingly into circus performances because y’know, Dick is his hero and so he memorized the entire history of Haley’s Circus so he’d always know who/where/what Dick was talking about when he referenced his time there)

- Word for Word reciting an obscure peace treaty for an ALIEN NATION, but wasn’t able to tell Dick what the Fibonacci sequence was. (Starfire is Tamaranian and Tim assumed that she and Dick would get married one day and he didn’t want to be insensitive so he hacked into the Green Lantern files that all the Earth Lanterns update and got to work researching. Even the stuff that only tangentially mentioned the planet and people)

Climate Change Sparks Rapid Growth for Smart Energy Monitoring Firm- Withthegrid

Withthegrid, a Netherlands-based deep-tech company that develops secure, scalable infrastructure monitoring technology, is accelerating its growth across Europe and beyond. Founded in 2016, the energy analytics firm is gaining attention for its innovative solutions that help grid operators, energy producers, and users monitor critical infrastructure assets in real-time.

Now operating at the intersection of technology and sustainability, Withthegrid is expanding on multiple fronts — strengthening its leadership, forming strategic alliances, and scaling its services.

Strategic Appointments to the Advisory Board

In a key move to bolster strategic direction and market access, Withthegrid has expanded its advisory board with two seasoned industry experts:

Sophie Dingenen, partner at international law firm Bird & Bird, and

René Raaijmakers, former CEO of Groendus and board member of several major energy firms.

Their experience is expected to provide valuable guidance on financing, market positioning, and building industry-leading partnerships.

New Partnerships to Advance Energy Management

In line with its mission to accelerate the energy transition, Withthegrid has entered several strategic partnerships:

Tibo Energy: A collaboration aimed at optimizing energy use through forecasting and smart asset control. Tibo manages heat pumps, charging stations, and battery storage systems to ease congestion in energy networks.

Scholt Energy: Working together to enhance renewable energy usage and integrate industrial flexibility, this partnership supports Scholt’s commitment to driving the energy transition.

Vattenfall: One of Europe’s largest electricity and heat producers, Vattenfall has signed an agreement with Withthegrid to implement a Realtime Interface at four locations, enabling smarter, more efficient energy management.

Product Innovation at the Core

Withthegrid currently offers two flagship products:

Asset Monitoring Platform: Empowers grid operators to keep a real-time watch on critical infrastructure and detect anomalies.

Teleport Gateway: A flexible, smart solution that allows asset owners to maximize the efficiency of solar panels, wind turbines, and battery systems.

These products not only enhance operational efficiency but also enable energy stakeholders to make data-driven decisions in real-time.

Vision for Global Growth

Paul Mignot, Co-founder and CEO of Withthegrid, outlined the company’s growth plans:

“Our vision is to expand our reach across the EU and into the MENA region. As the demand for renewable energy surges, scaling our operations is critical. The strong support from our investors, including Boundary Holding, has been pivotal in enabling our continued innovation and growth.”

The Role of Investors in Scaling Clean Technology

Since 2021, Withthegrid has secured over EUR 1 million in funding from Boundary Holding, the Dutch regional development agency ROM Utrecht Region, and other industry veterans and venture capitalists. This investment has supported the commercialization of their services and advanced development of their real-time anomaly detection algorithms.

Rajat Khare, founder of Boundary Holding, emphasized the importance of such technologies:

“Europe’s green transition hinges on strengthening its energy infrastructure. Real-time monitoring not only boosts performance visibility but also helps companies cut costs and improve energy efficiency. These systems are vital for a smarter and more sustainable future.”

The Global Impact of Real-Time Energy Monitoring

A growing body of evidence supports the impact of real-time energy management. A report from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) found that such systems can lead to savings of $13.5 million, reduce energy consumption by 41%, and cut 3,100 metric tons of carbon emissions annually.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) notes that regular monitoring can result in a 10–20% reduction in energy use. Similarly, IBM reported a 30% energy saving in its data centers through predictive analytics and real-time monitoring as part of its Smarter Buildings initiative.

As climate challenges intensify, the need for scalable, intelligent infrastructure solutions is more urgent than ever. Companies like Withthegrid are not just innovating — they are building the foundation for a cleaner, smarter, and more efficient energy future.
