I saw a post from ProLiteracy the other day that indicates the extent to which we've surrendered our fiscal self-determination. Entitled, "The Fork in the Road to Funding For Adult Basic Education", it said this, in part:
The president's proposed budget for FY18 contained a number of significant cuts to programs of vital importance to adult basic education and ProLiteracy members and students … Equally important to many programs is the support for continuation and solid funding of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which sponsors … many community-based literacy programs … These budget changes could have significant impact on our students' ability to enroll in adult literacy programs.
I was going to let it go. Then I saw this in yesterday's Hartford Business Journal: "Charitable givers expect uptick in nonprofit demands". That verbal white flag said this, in part:
The state's got to get its act together in a big way and make the necessary adjustments so that the funding can be restored to a significant extent … it's a state-government problem more than anything else.
Since I've written on this topic already, I won't go into a political diatribe. But I will ask you to imagine something:
James McHenry's diary records this exchange between a Mrs. Powell and Benjamin Franklin outside the Constitutional Convention in 1787: "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" Franklin replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."
Imagine you'd been in Philadelphia that day. As Mrs. Powell went her way, imagine you'd sauntered up to Benjamin Franklin, put your arm around his shoulder, and walked up Chestnut Street with him, having this exchange:
You: You're doing a heck of a job, Ben. But you're wasting your time.
Ben: What?
You: Yeah. Sorry to be the one to break it to you. But in less then 100 years, your we the people will be replaced by career politicians.
Ben: Surely you jest.
You: No joke, Ben. As a result, your we the people will think their funding should come from the government. And don't call me Shirley.
Ben: How can that be? The Constitution strictly limits the size and scope of the government.
You: Dependence is a very seductive thing, Dude. The promise of ostensible safety was all it took.
Ben: They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. And don't call me Dude.
I have a feeling no one else will tell you this. So, I'll bite the bullet: We're not getting our money back from the government, kids. It's already gone.
If it weren't, Hartford wouldn't have hired bankruptcy lawyers. The State Capitol wouldn't be out of capital. And we wouldn't be engaged in the charade of running the State without a budget.
The results of the grand experiment in self-government we started in 1776 and constituted in 1787 aren't yet perfect. But we remain the proving ground for independence 241 years after declaring our own.
If we can just remember that, we'll also remember we are — and always were — supposed to take care of ourselves and each other.
Let's start now … again.

Everyone is wondering what it will take for mass crypto adoption. I think the Brave Browser gives us the answer. It reportedly now has 10 million monthly active users. This means that 8, 9, or 10 million people are getting cryptocurrency in their wallets each month. It is a sensational distribution model.
This is key. The masses are not going to "buy" cryptocurrency. They need to receive it as rewards. When you think about it, people do not "buy" fiat. Instead, they get it as payment.
Mass adoption will come when hundreds of millions of people are receiving cryptocurrency as rewards for activities undertaken. I do not believe it will come from one source but, rather, many different ones.

Ogilvy Change have partnered with pioneering learning provider 42courses.com to create the first of their interactive online courses, where you can learn enough to be dangerous through Behavioural Economics. The course is made up of a series of films and fact-finding missions where participants can discover uses for behavioural principles in the real world and share their opinions with the 42courses.com community. Dan Bennett, Choice Architect at Ogilvy Change, is here to explain further:
In his famous book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll writes about a curious protagonist, sat bored on a riverbank. After seeing a white rabbit she decides to follow it and, as her curiosity gets the better of her, she tumbles head first into the rabbit hole where she suddenly falls, surrounded by floating clocks and random stimuli, before entering several doors - each leading down winding corridors. Whilst down in Wonderland, Alice forgets about her world and is fully immersed with no sense of time.
Similarly, the term rabbit hole has been adopted to describe many internet experiences including times where you begin with a topic and, through hyperlinks and related content, you're able to spend hours learning about it. This mental state of intense concentration and of losing oneself to a single subject is known to psychologists as the phenomenon called flow.
The experience of flow is a mixture of focussed concentration on the present moment, a loss of reflective self-consciousness, a sense of personal control over the activity and reduced concept of time throughout. It's a beautiful space to be in and, during our busy lives, most of us seldom achieve it.
It was this insight that made us realise how the user experience of online learning can be so terrible. A large proportion of online learning content is simply lifted from chapters of books and plonked on the web. They dictate a linear programme of what you will learn and what you have to remember, becoming more of a wall to climb than a rabbit hole to fall down.
Many years of behavioural science will tell us that there's a huge discrepancy between what we think we should do and what we actually do. Whether that's going to the gym, writing a blog or taking an e-learning class. This intention-action gap, as psychologists call it, means that completion rates of traditional e-learning classes are often abysmally low. Founder of 42courses.com Chris Rawlinson explains, "e-learning is a bit like broccoli, we know it's good for us but it's just not that pleasant."
It was this idea that started our journey with 42courses.com to create their first online learning course in Behavioural Economics. We saw a huge popularity for BE courses, but none which were designed to use how the brain likes to learn.
How can we create flow when learning digitally?
We started by pooling together the content we found most fascinating and then wrote the questions that begged to be asked. Throughout the course you won't find the answers in the content given to you, only some hints towards rabbit holes of your own, with the answers hidden somewhere inside.
Once you emerge from your rabbit hole you'll be asked to report back with your opinions and to discuss those opinions with other learners.
By the end of the course you won't have been served up a bunch of questions, you'll have discovered your own answers down a series of rabbit holes. We'll have nudged you to the answer and you'll have found out five more fascinating things along you way.
Why is this important to the marketing and communications industry in particular?
Although the course is relevant to anyone with an interest in the psychology of decision-making, there are particular benefits to those in our creative industries.
Rory Sutherland, the founder of Ogilvy Change and Vice-Chairman of the Ogilvy Group, explains "it's really easy to go along with existing assumptions about how people think, decide and act which are fundamentally wrong." Learning about what influences people's behaviour is particularly interesting as Rory continues, "the highest definition of creativity is when you start noticing the false assumptions you're making about how to solve problems. That's generally the best form of creativity, it's reductive not additive, it's when you notice something you've assumed and you get rid of it."
So, although we can't promise you a white rabbit or an adventure in Wonderland, you'll be sure to find yourself exiting your rabbit hole knowing more about Behavioural Economics than when you went in. Head over to

Background W3 Cache Plugin
Do not you Just despise slow sites? Well, you're certainly not alone. Your visitors despise them too– and, to make matters worse, so does Google. That is right, if you want your website to rank highly in search engines, sell more goods, generate more leads, bring in more revenue, or just deliver a more positive user experience, it must load quickly. W3 Cache Plugin
click here to get started with WP Rocket today!
So just how Can you create your WordPress site faster? Well, if you are still using a generic shared hosting company, among the best options will, naturally, be to simply switch to a higher performance hosting company. But what if you simply haven't got the time or money to make the switch?
Well, Luckily, there's something else you can do that is extremely quick and simple — something that needs next-to-no technical know-how whatsoever! I'm speaking, of course, about using a caching plugin.
Today, I will be taking an comprehensive look at a few of the leading caching plugins around. WP Rocket. In the next review, I'll show you by exactly how much — and how easily — it could speed up your website (using real-life tests and real data).
What is WordPress Caching?
Caching Involves creating — and storing — a ready-made static (i.e. unchanging) variant of your website on your own server ready to display to people at a minute's notice. This decreases the demand for your site (and/or the consumer's browser) to communicate back and forth with the server to build the behind-the-scenes information that generates your website's web pages.
With less Communication going on between servers, and much less information being loaded each time your website is accessed, the time necessary to load your posts and pages is significantly reduced.
WP Rocket Will possibly.
· Cache all the posts and pages on your own website
· Enable browser caching
· Defer loading of JavaScript files
· Decrease bandwidth utilization with gzip compression
· optimise Google fonts
· minify and concatenate CSS and JS files
· Defer loading of images.
You might Be wondering what happens in the event that you publish a new blog article on a cached site, since, paradoxically, an unchanging cached version of your site would not take this recently created data into account.
Not so! WP Rocket will regenerate the cached pieces of your website every time you update your content, thereby ensuring that your visitors will always find the most up-to-date version of your website.
Characteristics of WP Rocket
It's worth Pointing out that, when it comes to features independently, WP Rocket compares pretty Favorably using its rivals. Granted, you're probably more curious about just how much faster your site will be following installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), but it's wonderful to know you are not missing out on any important features.
With WP Rocket, you get page caching, cache preloading, gzip compression, browser caching, Google Fonts optimisation, image and video Lazy Load, minification, and a whole lot more.
If you do Decide to learn more about the additional settings and options WP Rocket provides, you will see it's a couple of tricks up its sleeve for possibly improving speed much further, like the option to only load media files (like pictures ) when the visitor reaches them onto a webpage (a feature called Lazy Loading).
One of The highlights of WP Rocket is the simple setup process, which makes it a pretty much fool proof caching choice for busy WordPress webmasters. It's described as being'childishly simple to set up' — something customers who only want to get the job done and proceed will almost surely appreciate. W3 Cache Plugin
click here to get started with WP Rocket today!
In fact, When the plugin has been uploaded and activated on your site, the cache will be automatically generated whenever someone visits the site. Everybody visiting your site then should instantly start experiencing significantly faster loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to eliminate all such confusion by being mechanically up-and-running right from the box without being so stiff that it's not able to deliver great results. After tripping WP Rocket, you will see only a couple of tabs around the admin panel, each with just a couple of easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the remainder of the basic settings screen here. When there are a couple more choices to utilize, the plugin works just fine without any of these empowered. This really is plug'n' play caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it is suggested that you browse the online documentation to actually see what this plugin can do and how much extra performance you can squeeze from it, however, for those in a hurry (or with a zero technical curiosity from the ins-and-outs of caching), it is safe to say that speeding up your site with WP Rocket couldn't be made much easier.
The main Selling point of WP Rocket is how easy it makes enabling caching on your site. With many other caching plugins, you're confronted with the sometimes daunting task of understanding — and filling out — multiple pages of configurations and options. Based on how you configure them, you could easily wind up inadvertently doing something somewhat screwy (and even, in rare situations, inadvertently breaking your site).
WP Rocket Can be compatible with content delivery network (CDN) services. if your website is large enough to warrant distributing its documents to multiple servers across the world for faster loading times, you will find WP Rocket over accommodating.
Custom Made CACHE LIFESPAN
There's Also the option to modify the default cache interval. However, unless you are displaying especially fast-changing or significant external dynamic content on your own site (for instance, critical content from societal networking feeds), the default option 24-hour lifespan should be OK.
Cache — Fundamental Cache Options
The Cache tab lets you control How your page caching functions at a fundamental level? you're able to. W3 Cache Plugin
· Include/exclude cellular users from seeing cached pages.
· Include/exclude logged-in users from visiting cached pages.
· Enable caching on HTTPS pages.
· Decide how long a page remains cached before the cache gets cleared (the default is 10 hours).
Most of the time, you can Render these as the defaults.
Media — Lazy loading + More
From the Media tab, then you can empower Lazy loading for videos or images, in addition to disable WordPress emojis and embeds.
One feature That is really nice here's the choice to replace YouTube video iframes using a static preview picture. If you embed lots of YouTube videos on your website, this is a great way to speed up your site without sacrificing much, if anyusability.
Document Optimization — Minification And Concatenation
The File Optimization tab is Where you are able to set up WP Rocket's minification and concatenation performance.
· Minification — shrinks the size of your website's code by removing unnecessary characters (such as whitespace) without changing any functionality.
· Concatenation — reduces the number of documents on your site by combining multiple CSS/JS files into one.
You can also set up some other Settings like.
· Remove gender-blocking CSS/JS (PageSpeed Insights is notorious for yelling at you concerning this problem ).
· Combining Google Fonts documents (useful if you use multiple Google Fonts on your own site).
· Remove query strings from static resources (this one will not have a major effect, but it might improve your GTmetrix score, should you really care about that).
I urge Enabling as many of these configurations as you can. I say as possible because a number of the configurations for CSS or JS may cause issues with your site (this isn't WP Rocket's fault — it is always a potential issue with minification/concatenation).
What I like is that WP Rocket Makes this clear once you go to activate one of those configurations.
Three cheers for great UX Layout!
Preload — Preload Your Own Cache File
Without Preloading, your site only"assembles" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the webpage. That means the very first visitor following the cache lifespan expires does not observe the cached version (because the cache has not been built yet).
Cache Preloading enables you to ensure all visitors view the quick-loading cached page by"warming" the cache yourself, rather than waiting for someone to see the page.
One of those Advantages of all WP Rocket is that it provides you two different strategies to preload your cache, whereas a few caching plugins don't even provide one.
· Sitemap preloading — preloads your cache according to each of the pages on your sitemap.xml file. It's low impact, however the disadvantage is that it does not cache newly edited or published articles.
· Preload bot — mechanically crawls URLs after you publish/edit a post to ensure that newly edited/published content is also preloaded. The only downside is the fact that it is a little bit more resource intensive, which might cause difficulties on"weak" servers. W3 Cache Plugin
You can choose to utilize anti virus, One, or both approaches to preload your cache, depending upon your needs.
Database — Clean Up Your Database
As your website ages, your Database will pick up all kinds of"gunk" in the kind of revisions, trashed opinions, transients, etc..
This area helps you clean out All that unnecessary junk from the database with one click.
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting region of WP Rocket because there are loads of free plugins which do a great job cleaning your database. But I guess the main advantage here is that WP Rocket eliminates the need for you to install another plugin.
CDN — Integrate With Your CDN
Should you use a CDN to speed up The worldwide delivery of your website, WP Rocket can assist you.
· Rewrite your URLs to use your CDN
· Exclude certain files from your CDN
As You can find free Plugins to perform the first component, the next component, in addition to the fact that you're able to reserve CNAMEs for particular file types, gives you more flexibility than most of those free choices.
For example, you could use one CNAME for your pictures, and another for the rest of your files.
If you're using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also comprises a committed Cloudflare add-on which could help you to get setup using Cloudflare and control specific aspects of this Cloudflare service right from the WP Rocket interface.
And that pretty much sums up The new WP Rocket 3.0 interface!
Through The plugin configurations, you can even enable caching for both mobile users and logged-in users — all with a simple click. After moving to this'advanced' tab, however, things begin to get a little more complicated.
To give you greater control over how caching Works on your website, you are also free to exclude pages in the cache with the addition of their URLS into the'not cache the following pages'
Through The CDN tab, you can configure the plugin to work together with your content delivery system of choice, whereas the tools section gives you quick access to the very clear and preload cache buttons.
What's? More, should you get stuck, the FAQ and support tabs make it exceptionally simple to get into the online documentation, and even open a service ticket from inside your WordPress dashboard — a lovely touch!
In General, WP Rocket intends to be all things to all people. On the other hand, it is very simple to set up and begin using on your website with default settings that truly create great results, nevertheless, on the other hand, there's also an appreciably large choice of configurations and options to cater to more advanced users with particular needs, or people who need more control over how caching functions on their site.
By Default, each time you publish a new post or add new content to your website, WP Rocket will regenerate that part of this cache. Furthermore, it will also refresh the related areas of the cache (including the archive pages( menus, or widgets). W3 Cache Plugin
If You need to refresh everything in the cache, though (not just recently updated or modified content), you can force WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step further, you will also find choices to have unrelated components of your site automatically regenerated when a new article, page, merchandise, comment, or another type of content has added.
field. (Note. Shopping cart and checkout pages are automatically excluded in the cache as part of their eCommerce service of WP Rocket.)
Documentation And Support
Even though Using WP Rocket from the box is quite simple, should you get stuck or wish to know more of the ins and outs of how it functions, there is quite a little high-quality documentation provided — such as a getting started section, different tutorials, helpful FAQs and a handy troubleshooting section.
As long As your licence is still active, you can also open tickets with support to receive whatever WP Rocket-related assistance you need?
My WP Rocket Testing Outcomes
As Mentioned at the top of this guide, I had great results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress website. By testing the speed of my website with GTmetrix — using the default settings of WP Rocket and simply uploading and activating the plugin before creating the cache and running the tests — the ordinary page loading times dropped from 2.2 minutes to 0.9.
The site I tested the plugin on was a WordPress blog using the free Twenty Twelve motif, with approximately 80 articles and 37 plugins. The website is hosted on a entry level shared hosting program from HostGator, and does not have any CDN in drama.
No two WordPress websites will be the same, though, so these results may not be typical for all websites. They do, however, show that even a very basic WordPress blog on the lowest priced hosting will almost surely have the ability to achieve significantly improved load times together with the plugin.
Other Ways to Accelerate Your WordPress Website
Whether You opt to use WP Rocket in your site or not, there are a number of other ways to speed up your WordPress site that are well worth mentioning, for example.
· Deactivating all redundant plugins (many plugins will significantly slow down your website )
· Compressing and optimising all pictures
· Using a CDN support
· Updating into a WordPress-specific high-performance web host, such as WP Engine or Flywheel(if your budget permits ).
All of All these are well worth trying if you have not already.
WP Rocket Pricing
With Prices beginning at only $39 for use on a single WordPress website, WP Rocket is an affordable alternative for most. Additionally, there are some other powerful free options available — for example WP Super Cache, also, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to name but 2 of many. If you're looking for something which's exceptionally easy to set up and use, however, and also provides access to an extremely helpful premium service desk, WP Rocket is a strong competitor.
The full Pricing options are as follows. W3 Cache Plugin
· Personal. $39 (1 site)
· Business. $99 (3 websites )
· Pro. $199 (unlimited websites )
All Options include one year's access to plugin upgrades and service. After this period, you may keep on using the plugin or renew your permit to maintain access. There's also a 30-day refund available in case you are not completely satisfied with the plugin later purchase.
WP Rocket Is really very striking. Not only is it incredibly easy to use, it also delivers great results.
Most of The activities you can execute to optimise the speed of your site take considerable time and effort — if that is optimising media documents, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, migrating to a different web host or altering themes. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be applied to your site in just a few clicks.

Skill Creativity Innovation Passion
Northland Futsal Academy (NFA) is a local company dedicated to providing quality opportunities for children to play futsal here in Whangarei. We offer programmes for children aged between 8 and 15 years of age, however this age bracket is only a guideline. NFA caters for boys and girls of all skill levels, goals and interests. No matter what the reason for playing, whether it's trying a new sport, playing for social reasons or ifyour aim is to become a professional player, NFA can help.
At NFA, we have a relationship based and child-centered coaching philosophy with an educational slant. We are confident that this is the most effective approach to coaching that inspires kids and equips them with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to carry on learning. Research shows that children are most motivated and engaged when they are having fun while constantly improving and learning new skills. Children must be appropriately challenged and encouraged to take risks in order to become creators and developers of their own skill and personal playing style. Personal goal setting, measuring and reflecting are important to help foster intrinsic motivation where kids are inspired to continue training on their own. Success and personal improvement bring confidence, increased enjoyment and satisfaction.
We are certain that outstanding players are not born but are created through hard work within a clear, purposeful and structured training environment. Mistakes and setbacks are seen as opportunities to improve rather than reasons to fail and give up. Children are encouraged to take risks and try new things within a safe, supportive atmosphere. These are attitudes and attributes that children can carry with them through all areas of life.
NFA understands the importance of players training all year round rather than over six months as traditionally accepted throughout New Zealand.
Children's varying physical, social and emotional stages of development are carefully considered which helps to create a structured, yet flexible progression as children move through the coaching syllabus. Regular and meaningful communication with parents/caregivers about children's progress, strengths and area for improvement is vital.
Children's physical and emotional safeties are of paramount importance to us and we have robust and transparent health and safety policies and procedures.
Effective training sessions are a direct result of deliberate and purposeful preparation by coaches, rather than simply the mind set of kids. By knowing and understanding the needs of the players, coaches are able to prepare relevant, exciting and effective training sessions where kids are drawn into the necessary mind set in order to get the most benefit out of every training session.
We believe that perfect practice makes perfect.

Six dietary guidelines to reduce sugar consumption in kids
When it comes to sugar consumption, there is good news and there is bad news. According to the latest findings from the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, children today are eating less sugar than in the past. However, we all still eat way too much.
In a data brief released by the National Center for Health Statistics, 16% of the total daily caloric intake of children and adolescents comes from sugars added to foods and beverages. While this is down from 18% of calories for the average American in 1999, it is still higher than the recommended upper limit of 15% for added sugars and added fats set by the US Dietary Guidelines.
Just to clarify: The term "added sugars" includes all sugars used as ingredients in processed and prepared foods such as breads, cakes, soft drinks, and sweets plus those added in the home, such as putting sugar into iced tea or syrup onto pancakes. Naturally-occurring sugars, such as those in fruit and 100% fruit juice were not considered in the calculations.
Think about it this way – the CDC report shows that our kids are consuming an average of 322 calories per day from added sugars. Since a pound of body fat is roughly equal to 3500 calories, this amount of excess on a daily basis could lead to a weight gain of one pound every 2 weeks (keeping all other factors equal).
Excess sugar consumption obviously has detrimental effects to our children's health. According to the CDC, childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years and one-third of children in the US are considered overweight or obese. The immediate health effects of excess weight include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and glucose intolerance (prediabetes). Kids are also at a greater risk for bone and joint problems and sleep apnea. In the long-term, kids who are overweight are much more likely to be overweight as adults, leading to a greater risk for heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and several types of cancer.
But where does the sugar come from? According to the report, parents have received the message that caloric beverages such as soda and juice drinks are huge sources. For example, a study last year published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has found that the consumption of sodas has decreased in the past decade. The latest data has found that now, 59% of added sugars in the diets of the surveyed families came from foods, not drinks.
As a parent, you can cut back on excess added sugars in your child's diet with some simple measures:
Avoid the obvious – too many sweets
Parents too often use sweet treats as mainstay of the meal – meat, starch, vegetable, dessert. Change that habit in your home by either eliminating the need for a daily sugar source or trying new and fun ways of making fruit a staple treat. For example, instead of ice cream, try making a "parfait" of vanilla yogurt layered with unsweetened applesauce.
Another place kids tend to eat junk foods are at events such as scouting trips or athletic games. Skip the Gatorade and cupcakes and instead offer cold, refreshing water and fruit leather.
Trade out processed foods for fresh
The CDC survey found that much of the foods consumed by children that contributed the most added sugar were those that were highly processed. Yes, it is convenient to pick up a package of Granola bars for a snack – after all, don't they sound healthy? – but some brands offer much too much sugar in the form of syrups and other sweeteners.
Another source of sugar is the packaged lunches we send to school with our kids. Again, crackers, turkey and cheese sound like a pretty healthy lunch, but some of the packaged "Lunchable" style meals can actually contain as much as 30 grams of sugar. Canned pasta such as SpaghettiOs has 13 grams in each serving.
When possible, prepare foods from fresh as much as possible, bypassing foods that have long lists of unpronounceable ingredients.
Pump up the produce
Only 16% of elementary school-aged children meet government recommendations for vegetable consumption. Get kids interested in eating more fruits and vegetables by making it fun for them to try new foods. Not only will this add necessary vitamins and minerals to their diets (something that may be lacking when eating processed foods), but most of these are also quite filling and will reduce cravings for those foods that are not so healthy.
Experts suggest trying some of the following tips. Serve vegetables as an appetizer. If they are hungry, they will eat. Institute a rule in your home of "at least one bite". If they try it, they might like it. Let your kids shop and prepare vegetables. If you have the space, growing your own vegetables can encourage them to eat what they sow. And if you are the creative type, try making fun shapes and designs with fruits and vegetables to make it fun.
Watch out for hidden sugar sources
Check out the ingredient list on ketchup (which at one time was actually considered a vegetable by some.) One of the top ingredients is often high fructose corn syrup. This ingredient is often used in processed foods because it acts as a preservative, extending the shelf life of the food product. However, it is also linked to health problems such as high blood pressure and weight gain.
Before buying anything, be sure to look for these words that mean "added sugar": corn sweetener, crystalline fructose, dextrose, evaporated cane juice, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, and sucrose. Also note that honey, fruit juice concentrates, molasses, raw sugar, brown sugar, and agave nectar are all healthy sounding sweeteners, but in the end really just added up to extra sugar.
Continue to pay attention to beverage consumption
While the majority of the added sugars are coming from processed foods, a very large amount of sugar (41%) is still being consumed by way of caloric beverages. Teach your child to reach for water first, then 100% fruit juice, and then another flavorful drink. Limit sodas, juice "drinks" (that are really only 10% juice and 90% sugar), energy drinks, and sugar added to tea and lemonade.
Eat at home more often
This survey found that most of the foods that we eat are consumed at home, but that doesn't discount the fact that restaurants and fast food venues contribute a lot of added calories, fats and sugars to the daily American diet. Regular family meals do a lot to help improve children's nutritional intake, plus they are a great way to bond and spend time with your child – which can also improve mental health as well as physical health.

Do you want to have the BEST cheesy potatoes recipe in the neighborhood? This Easy Cheesy Potatoes recipe is often served on our farmhouse table because it's DELICIOUS!
Easy, cheesy and delicious are the winning trifecta for a potato casserole and we have the best recipe for cheesy potato casserole recipe to share!
{Referral links are used in this post}
The Best Cheesy Potatoes
Even though we've eaten a lot of potatoes on the farm I've never had a cheesy potato casserole as good as this one. This potato casserole is so creamy, cheesy and delicious!
I can't count how many times I've made this recipe since my sister-in-law gave it to me almost ten years ago. We make these easy cheesy potatoes for parties, potlucks, holidays and anytime we want a nice dish that people will enjoy and remember.
For a similar recipe that feeds 100 people check out our Cheesy Potatoes for a Crowd.
Tips For Making Cheesy Potatoes
I've watched my mom peel countless
pounds tons of potatoes. That never looked very fun to me. Maybe this recipe tastes better because it calls for a bag of frozen hashbrowns. Here are my tips for better cheesy potatoes.
- Dairy products rule. As a former dairy farming family, we're a big fan of dairy products because they taste great and we know that we're supporting other farm families like our own when we buy milk, cheese, sour cream and yogurt at any grocery store.
- The original recipe calls for 2-4 cups of cheese, but see point #1 and understand why I always use 4 cups of cheese.
- We prefer frozen hashbrowns in the matchstick shape versus small cubes of frozen potatoes.
- When adding melted butter to cold ingredients be prepared to stir quickly before the butter sets up.
- I love my white casserole dish with handles for casseroles like this!
Here are a few other delicious farmhouse potato recipes Farmhouse Loaded Potatoes, Crockpot Loaded Red Potatoes, and Easy Creamy Mashed Potatoes. We hope you enjoy these delicious potato recipes as much as we do!

Frances Stackhouse Acton
Frances Stackhouse Acton was a botanist, gardener, archaeologist and also an accomplished artist. Her upbringing at Elton hall, near Ludlow, and her later life at Acton Scott brought an appreciation of the vernacular buildings of those areas, particularly the extravagant timber framed houses of yeomen farmers. Frances� main interest appears to have been the buildings themselves as people were sometimes left unfinished on her sketches.
She had an excellent grasp of architecture and was influential in helping to save Stokesay castle from ruin in the 1850s. Castles, and abbeys, featured prominently in sketches produced during visits to Wales and the north of England. Her chief medium was pencil and wash in both monochrome and full colour.
Frances' drawings that accompanied the excavation report on a Roman villa on the estate, uncovered in 1844, put to shame the archaeological records of many of her contemporaries and are still useful to archaeologists today.

Jimmy Savile: Darling of Auntie Beeb!
In the guardian this morning I read the following:
"The BBC director general, George Entwistle, has promised to investigate the mounting allegations of sexual abuse by Sir Jimmy Savile, but only when the police investigation has been completed.
Entwistle told BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Monday that he deeply regretted what had happened and apologised to the women involved for what they have had to endure, but he said he did not want to compromise the police inquiry."
Further on into the article I read:
"Entwistle, who rose through the ranks of the BBC as a journalist (and described elsewhere as: a "loyal BBC soldier"), said he had not about heard the rumours of sex abuse until late last year but conceded: "Jimmy Savile was regarded as by a great many people as odd, a bit peculiar and that was something I was aware some people believed."
Then I read the following in another article: "The former head of Radio 1 was aware in the early 1970s of allegations of sexual abuse involving Sir Jimmy Savile, an ex-press officer for the station has claimed.
Then I read the following in another article: "The former head of Radio 1 was aware in the early 1970s of allegations of sexual abuse involving Sir Jimmy Savile, an ex-press officer for the station has claimed.
Rodney Collins said on Wednesday that an ex-Radio 1 controller, the late Douglas Muggeridge, asked him to find out whether newspapers were looking into sex abuse claims about Savile in 1973.
Collins, who was head of press for Radio 1 when Savile was a DJ at the station, urged the BBC to launch a full internal inquiry and to examine who knew what and when.
"The BBC should now – having first of all said they knew nothing about this – hold a full inquiry, they should co-operate with the police. If anyone working there at the time had some knowledge of this they should put their hands up," Collins told MediaGuardian!.
So Entwistle rose through the ranks of the BBC as a journalist! A pretty good indication then that the quality of journalism there is pretty poor or that the BBC has a long tradition of brushing its own shit under the carpet or both.
Of course Savile was odd! Alarm bells should have been screaming years ago, especially after savile's defence of Gary Glitter. And of course BBC management would have known about Savile's 'parties'.
Rather than wait (no doubt hoping that all this will go away) the director General should instigate an internal inquiry immediately.
The BBC is often referred to as 'auntie', it transpires that 'Seedy uncle' might be a better epithet!
Oh! And how many seedy men at the Beeb had Jimmy fix it for them to live out their own seedy fantasies I wonder?

How is the training organised?
An Augeo academy training module is often an interactive learning component or e-lecture. An interactive learning component guides you through the syllabus using various methods. You are asked to interact, and put your knowledge into practice. An e-lecture, as the name suggests, is a lecture on video. The lecture is given by an expert in the field, and supported by animations and video. In addition to these two elements, a training may also include a test. The result of this test is given as a percentage, from 0-100%. The result is displayed on the certificate of participation. The test can be retaken only once.
Is there a time limit for Students to complete the course?
All training modules are valid throughout the Membership period. If the Membership expires and is not renewed, Students will still have seven months to complete their courses. If a training course is followed outside the Membership, in other words independently purchased through the catalogue, then the course must be completed within 1 year of activating the code. This does not apply to training modules for vocational education: these may be followed for four years.
I'm working on a training module, but the videos falter or crash. What is causing this to happen?
This is probably related to the speed of the internet or network connection with your computer or workstation. One alternative is to follow the course in a different location outside the network or range of the internet connection.
I'm working on a training module, but the 'Continue' button remains disabled. What is causing this to happen?
There are a number of possible causes. Firstly, the 'continue' button is only enabled after you have fully answered a question. A question can have several parts, so it is important to check this first. A question may also have an outro. The outro is a half-circle next to the Continue button, which turns green when it is enabled. The Continue button remains disabled until the outro is started. If neither of these solutions work, restart the module and check if the Continue button is still disabled. If the problem is not resolved, please contact the helpdesk.
Why is there a test/no test at the end of my training module?
Our training is designed to increase your awareness of the problem of child abuse by stimulating reflection, increasing your knowledge of the subject and getting you to put your knowledge into practice. We make it easier for you to recognise signals given by children who might be suffering abuse or neglect, and consequently also know what you can do and how you should do it. To make our training more relevant to your professional work, we have applied for accreditation for a large number of our courses. Accreditation committees often require that training includes tests on the trainee's knowledge, so we have created tests for certain courses.
Where can I see my test results?
After you have completed the test, you can see the questions and correct answers one single time. These cannot be printed, because otherwise they could be passed on to other Students. You can, however, print out the scores on each topic of the test, which will give you an overview of the topics which went well and less well for you.
I'd like to know the score I need to pass the test. Where can I find this information?
The introduction screen of the test states how many questions you must correctly answer to pass the test. If you fail the test, it will be shown on the certificate of participation. If you retook the test, the highest score will be shown. Please note: the certificate of participation only shows the score, and does not indicate if this represents a pass or fail. It is up to institutions themselves to set training course requirements.
Can I follow the training module on a tablet?
We are currently working on a solution which will allow all our training modules to be followed on a tablet. We are introducing this in stages. If a training module is suitable for a tablet, this will be indicated in the introduction screen of the module.
Can I follow a training module in a number of stages, or do I have to complete it in one go?
It is possible to pause a training module before it is completed, and go back to it later. The place you have reached will be stored, so you can continue where you left off. Please note: This does not apply to tests, these must be completed in one go.
How will Augeo academy's training courses help me in my profession?
Augeo academy provides high quality e-learning in the field of identifying and acting on child abuse. This training was developed in collaboration with various partners, including the Dutch Ministry of Health, the NJI (Dutch Youth Institute) and Vyvoj. The training provided by the Augeo academy is the only one in the Netherlands which has been studied for its practical effectiveness. Such effectiveness was indeed found: it turned out that nurses at the University Medical Centre Utrecht who had followed Augeo academy's training courses had more suspicions of child abuse and had also acted on them.

Cop Loses Sidearm to Perp, Still Wins the Fight
This cop lost his sidearm to the perp, and I share it with you because it's the first time I have seen anyone use a Backup Gun (BUG) in an actual gunfight!
If you value what we do at ASP, would you consider becoming an ASP Patron Member to support the work it takes to make the narrated videos like this cop losing his sidearm but winning the fight? https://get-asp.com/patron gives the details and benefits.
Find a good instructor in your area and get some training: https://get-asp.com/directory
All the info I have on this incident is in the comments in the original video, which is sketchy. If you have more info, please send it to me so I can add it: https://get-asp.com/rw26
What does this video teach us about defending ourselves against a perp who wants us dead?
- Evil exists in our world, and no amount of wishing it away does so. Evil people do evil things, and good people must be ready and willing to stand between them and innocent people and do enough violence to stop them definitively. No amount of negotiation will make truly evil people change their ways; only those willing and able to stop them who use attitude, skills, and plan effectively can.
- The "fleeing felon rule" generally applies to Law Enforcement Officers in the performance of their duties, and since 1985's Tennessee vs. Garner decision the ability to use deadly force to apprehend a fleeing felon by LEO has been limited to cases where the officer has probable cause to believe that the fleeing felon is a continuing threat of serious physical harm to the officer or the public. However, how that law applies to non-LEO varies state by state. Make sure to know your local laws so that you know the limitations of shooting a fleeing felon, especially if you're not a police officer.
- If you have spiritual fitness by knowing what you're willing to fight for and that you're willing and ready to win the fight no matter what, you place yourself way ahead of most attackers. Attackers are looking for victims and not looking for fights, so many times when an intended victim puts up a significant fight they will disengage and find other prey. This makes sense even in the animal kingdom where we often see an apex predator disengage from feisty prey for fear of injury. Being ready to defend yourself is a key in self-defense because that defense will often cause the bad guy to run. This is part of why spiritual fitness is so important to self-defense.
- Empty-handed skills are absolutely critical for self-defenders. First of all, more conflicts you will encounter as a self-defender will require empty-handed skills than will require firearms skills, simply because more self-defense encounters are physical than deadly. Second, since a firearm is a tool of last resort, self-defenders need to have non-lethal options that include empty-handed skills to protect themselves from likely incidents. Third, in the moment of the encounter you may not have the time to get to your gun before you can fight your way to it.
- As one of my martial arts mentors, Skip Hancock, is fond of saying, the ground must be your friend and not your enemy. You must know how to fight on the ground and not panic if the fight goes to the ground! You must have skills from bottom position, from top position, and in the scramble. You must be able to regain your feet and fight from wherever you find yourself. Too many fights require this skill to ignore it!
There are 3 additional lessons for Patron Members and 3 class starters for Instructors from this video, so please join us in those programs to see them!
Attitude. Skills. Plan.

Get paper copies
Of course, you need to keep your passport with you while you are in a foreign country. It's better to keep a photo copy as well.
Inform your credit card company
You may want to let your credit card company know that you are going to use the card. This will help avoid any issues that may arise in case the company assumes your credit card is stolen.
Hold newspapers
It's better to hold any newspaper that you may have subscribed to. This is to keep the burglars from knowing that you are away for a few days.
Consider a house sitter
When you are away, it's better to have someone in your house. You can consider someone in your community for this job.
Look for a gardener
If you have a lawn in your house, the plants need to be watered and taken care of while you are away. Therefore, make sure you ask someone to do the job. You may even pay them for the service.
Remove the spare key
Some people have a spare key to their house in case they need it in an emergency. If you also have one, make sure you remove it or take it with you.
Drop the curtain
Burglars may look into your house if the curtains are not dropped. So, make sure you drop all of the curtains before you leave your house.
Activate a timer
To reduce the likelihood of burglary even further, consider installing a timer to turn on a few lights at night automatically.
Switch off water supply
You may consider turning off the water supply to different appliances in your house, such as ice-makers, dishwashers, washing machines and toilets.
Unplug other devices
Obviously, no one will be using the appliances when you are gone. So, it's better to turn off your computer, toasters and ovens, to name a few.
Check your wallet
Make sure your wallet has only the times you will need while you are in another country.

The Supreme Court, on October 23, 2017, ordered the refund of the principal amount, to 26 home buyers of Supertech's twin Emerald Towers project at Noida. A bench headed by chief justice Dipak Misra, considered the report of advocate Gaurav Agarawal, who is assisting it as an amicus curiae, which said that out of several home buyers of Supertech's twin Emerald Towers, 26 have not received any refund.
The bench, which also comprised justices AM Khanwilkar and DY Chandrachud, said that Rs 20 crores had been deposited with the apex court registry by the real estate firm and the money would be used in paying back the principal amount to the home buyers who have received nothing in refund.
The court said the issue of interest and the deduction of return on investment (RoI) from the principal, payable to home buyers, would be dealt with, at a later stage. Advocates Akhilesh Kumar Pandey and Shoeb Alam, appearing for some home buyers, said the interest of the hassled home buyers needed to be protected.
See also: SC favours setting up of portal to address Supertech home buyers' grievances
The bench, which had asked the amicus curiae to set up a web portal to deal with grievances of home buyers on September 22, 2017, said that Rs two lakh be paid to him, towards expenses incurred in setting up of the portal. It posted, for December 4, 2017, the final disposal of appeals of Supertech filed against the Allahabad High Court's April 11, 2014 verdict, ordering demolition of the twin towers – Apex and Ceyane – and directing the realty major to refund money to home buyers, with 14 per cent interest in three months.
Earlier, the top court had asked the home buyers to register and lodge their grievances on the web portal set up by the amicus curiae. It had asked the amicus curiae to include in the web portal, the entire details of home buyers of these twin towers and the money paid by them and refunds made by the firm. The real estate firm had said it had deposited Rs 20 crores with the apex court registry, for refunding money to the home buyers who did not want flats.
The apex court, on August 14, 2017, had asked Supertech to deposit Rs 10 crores for refunding money to the investors who wanted to opt out of its Emerald Towers project, which comprises two 40-storey residential buildings in Noida. Prior to this, it had said that if the two residential buildings in Noida were constructed without proper sanction, these would be demolished.
The high court's verdict had come on the plea of some residents of other buildings, who had alleged that the twin towers were constructed on a green area. The towers have 857 apartments, of which about 600 flats have already been sold. The counsel for Noida Authority had earlier told the bench that the sanctioned plan for the building was in accordance with the guidelines and it was aggrieved by the high court's finding in this regard.
