By default, people would leave the heaters on even if no one is around. This is to insure that when they come back, they can look forward to relaxing atmosphere. But the matter of placing the right one varies and normally, adjustments are made only when they get home. That was yesterday’s technology.

Today, there is an app that can allow you to adjust the settings anywhere via your iPhone or Blackberry. The Trane Remote Energy Management Thermostat is your bet towards being able to remotely control your home temperature. You can monitor your home from any computer and most Web-enabled mobile phones, including Apple’s iPhone and RIM’s BlackBerry.

“With the Trane Remote Energy Management Thermostat, owners of the Schlage LiNK System will now be able to conveniently monitor and control their cooling and heating systems even when they’re away from home,” said Dwight Gibson, General Manager, Intelligent Residential Electronics, for Ingersoll Rand, the parent company of Schlage.

“Boys tend to bully differently than girls do,” he said. “Girls tend to be more psychological; they exclude and isolate.”

“Boys tend to forgive and forget a lot more quickly. Girls tend to hold on to things for much longer.”

But Overnewton year 10 student Kristen Goodgame said removing internet and mobile phones denied children opportunities to become better educated. She said most children were not bullied online.

“Parents should teach their kids about the dangers,” she said.
