Somewhere in the Middle
Dear E,
Stories of N's lasagna have crossed the country. Pounds of sausage and ricotta, freezers full of noodle. Oh, the garlic! "I ate three pieces and didn't have to eat again for a month!"
N made lasagna in November, shortly after I had ankle surgery and was in no shape to even help cook anything. It was different -- less extreme. Less cheesy. Less meaty. Less garlic.
a different lasagna
Still tasty. G was disappointed as he wanted the many pounds of cheese and meat version.
N used fresh store-bought lasagna noodles, which we liked. He only used ground sausage in the sauce. A layer of fresh spinach (not pre-cooked) releases some liquid into the lasagna, but as long as the sauce isn't too watery to begin with, it works out without soaking the lasagna. Not bad. Simple and quick, which is what we needed.
He also made a Greek salad ... upside-down.
That's a lot of croutons!
After dinner, we played five person Uno, as my mom was in town helping out after my surgery. The strategy (what strategy?) was a little different with five people and me sitting between N and G instead of my usual spot between you and N!
I put a big asterisk on this game though. Hey, I blame the painkillers.
Lucky us, you made a half plain-half pumpkin cheesecake. Mmm. It was delicious.
Until next time!
No trackbacks yet.

NOTE THAT this guidance has now been updated in the light of Keeping Children Safe in Education 2016 (in force from 5th September 2016).
My interpretation of Keeping Children Safe in Education 2016 Annex E is this: Whether or not the host family are paid to take care of children, the school as a regulated activity provider should complete Enhanced DBS checks for the adults in the family. (Source: KCSIE 2016 Annex E)
When schools take pupils to other countries, they sometimes enhance the experience of the visit by staying with host families, but how should this type of visit be managed from a safeguarding perspective.
Should schools seek to require vetting checks and DBS-type disclosures from families in other countries?
What checks can be undertaken in England on families who host children from other schools and overseas?
Keeping children safe in education
The government's statutory guidance 'Keeping children safe in education' refers to host families in Annex C: Special Circumstances, paragraphs 2 – 6. The guidance is not conclusive and schools will need to ensure they can show they have undertaken a full risk assessment and have been able to mitigate any areas of concern. Schools must show the effectiveness of their safeguarding procedures and they are judged on how they manage the potential outcomes.
Placing students with host families raises safeguarding risks. Part of managing that risk is educating pupils to cope with all kinds of risks by understanding what they may be and how they can begin to tackle those challenges themselves. Conversely, spending time with a family in another country will offer a unique perspective in learning to managing risks there with local experts.
Note: This is an interpretation of the statutory guidance and not a statement of law. This article only concerns the situation in England, different rules apply in other parts of the UK.
Regulated Activity
In England, vetting is undertaken when a person is performing a 'regulated activity'. In general, regulated activity is teaching, caring for or supervising children without the person being supervised themselves.
DBS Factsheet: Summary of Regulated Activity relating to Children
Three types of host families
There are three potential situations: families in other countries who look after exchange students in a reciprocal arrangement when their children stay in England; people who look after children having been selected to undertake that role and who are paid to do so; and companies who specialise in working on behalf of schools to find accommodation in a family home. Each circumstance requires a different answer. These three situations can take place in England or abroad.
In the first example, my view would be that parents looking after a student in their own home alongside their own children, without payment, would not be in 'regulated activity'. Other countries have their own laws to take into account.
The second situation, where a school selects people for children to stay with and who are paid to take care of those pupils, is more straight forward. In this case, under the law in England, this is regulated activity under the 'Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006' and would probably be described as "private fostering". In such cases, all the adults in the household (some would argue all over 16, as that is the minimum age for a barring check to be requested) should be vetted by the Disclosure and Barring Agency.
In the third case, where a company provides hosts for the school and payment is made, that arrangement is likely to be deemed "private fostering" by the 'Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006' and the third-party company is responsible for undertaking checks and demonstrating that they have done so.
Finally, it must be remembered that checks in other countries will be subject to their own laws. There is wide variability in the ease with which checks can be obtained and the quality of those checks. The DBS has no jurisdiction in other countries.
In summary, if the host family are not being paid to care for the young person, but are doing so as part of a reciprocal arrangement, my interpretation is that this is not regulated activity and therefore there is no requirement for a DBS check. However, if payment is being made, in England that would be 'regulated activity' and DBS checks would be required. In another country, laws there would dictate the relevant vetting checks.
Added May 2016
My interpretation of Keeping Children Safe in Education 2016 Annex E 'Children staying with host families' is that where a school organises the hosting arrangements, this is 'regulated activity' because the school is a 'regulated activity provider'. This means that the school must ask adults in the host family to complete Enhanced DBS checks, regardless of whether they are paid for the hosting or not. In another country, laws there would dictate the relevant vetting checks.
Please note that I am not a lawyer and unqualified to give legal opinion. If in any doubt, please contact an education law provider, such as Veale Wasbrough Vizards LLP , Browne Jacobson LLP or Stone King LLP .
Safeguarding is about managing risk
Schools should still ensure that they look carefully at all the potential safeguarding issues and make arrangements that keep young people safe. The most important starting point will be excellent planning and liaison with the exchange school and their families. One aspect of this will be clear written expectations and boundaries; another will be ensuring that pupils can urgently contact a member of staff from their own school should that be necessary. Other aspects would include thinking about sleeping arrangements and what happens should the student become unwell whilst away from the main group or in the home of the host family.
Further Information
Somerset County Council has a useful guidance document about Exchange Visits.
Outdoor Education Advisers' Panel (OEAP) also has relevant information and guidance.
What does your school do?
If your school undertakes exchange visits, how do you tackle safeguarding on overseas trips? I'd really like to hear your thoughts – twitter @ConsultantHead or email me at email@example.com.
From @gdmorewood on twitter:
"We always 'vetted' host families for our French exchange over last 5 yrs – very difficult with diff rules/attitudes in other countries. We can ask for checks via host school and local authorities, but in addition to that direct family contact from well before useful. For me most imp is getting our parents/carers to speak with host parents/carers and young people via Skype/FB etc."

"We invited Lebanon to the Sochi summit meeting," Russian Ambassador Alexander Zaspkin said in a news conference after the meeting with Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil in Beirut.
"The Sochi meeting will be a very important step towards providing a political solution in Syria. In this congress, which will help Geneva negotiations, we will discuss the political solution issues based on UN Security Council resolution 2254," he said.
Alexander Lavrentiev, Moscow's envoy on Syria, said on Jan. 20 that, Russia, Turkey and Iran had reached consensus on a list of countries that will participate in the summit.
On Dec. 22, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said all participants in the Syria talks in Geneva would be invited to the Sochi gathering.
The guarantor countries Russia, Iran and Turkey, had agreed to gather for Syrian peace talks in southern Russian city of Sochi on Jan. 29-30.
Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since early 2011 when the Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests with unexpected ferocity.
Since then, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and more than 10 million others displaced, according to UN officials.

Things to Do in Cavtat for Families
Boasting calm blue seas, quiet pebble beaches and fewer crowds than Dubrovnik, Cavtat – pronounced 'savtat' – is the ideal seaside town for a family holiday. As you bask in Cavtat's relaxed atmosphere, you'll see there are plenty of things to do in Cavtat for families, too! From day trips and island exploration to snorkelling and swimming, you and your family will fall in love with this beautiful Croatian town.
Try out DIY snorkelling
Cavtat is full of prime snorkelling spots and it's not as expensive as you might think! Buy some snorkelling masks from a nearby shop and you can snorkel anywhere. One of the best spots for holiday snorkelling is the Rat Peninsula, which is just underneath Cavtat's old town and next to the harbour. There you'll be able to spot some coral and small fish before you retire back to your hotel for the evening.
Experience the island's culture in Cavtat town
Jet off on your holiday to Cavtat in summer to experience Cavtat Summer, a series of cultural and entertainment events that takes place in Cavtat town from June to September. Watch sports tournaments and performances by classical musicians, folk music and acapella groups – all for free! You can teach your family about different cultures while enjoying something a little different.
Venture on a day trip to Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is Croatia's best known destination, and no family trip would be complete without a brief visit to the city. A direct ferry to Dubrovnik from Cavtat lasts about 45 minutes and your kids are sure to meet a boat trip with big smiles! Walk the famous old walls of Dubrovnik, visit the city's gorgeous harbour and convince your kids to try a delicious fresh fish dish or settle for an equally satisfying serving of pizza and chips.
Take the ferry to Mljet National Park
During your Dubrovnik visit, why not explore a little further with a trip to the nearby island of Mljet? Situated to the north-west of Dubrovnik, this island is a natural paradise with untouched forests, two salt water lakes and only around 50 residents.
Hop on a ferry from Dubrovnik to Mljet and spend a few peaceful hours exploring Mljet National Park. Kids will love the cycling opportunities on the island, so make the most of them and rent a bike at Pomena, Polače or Mali Most! Other amusing activities include swimming and kayaking in the salt lakes, walking tours and hiking trails around the island.
Be inspired at Vlaho Bukovac House

After Bukovac's death in 1922, his daughters transformed the house into an exhibition space for their father's artwork. As well as a permanent collection of Bukovac's most personal works and self-portraits, the museum features an archive of Bukovac's documents, books and furniture.

We're thrilled to have Kirk Williams, a.k.a PPCKirk, as our guest speaker on Wednesday, May 29th. Kirk, owner of ZATOⓇ Marketing will be with us to share his presentation, The Complete Guide to a Profitable Shopping Ads Setup.
In case you've not met Kirk yet, we thought we might take a moment here to introduce him to you properly—and to get you excited to hear from him in person at Rocket55 in Minneapolis at the end of the month! (Not registered? No worries! Register here now.)
Meet the Speaker: Kirk Williams
1. What can attendees expect to take away from your session?
So much! We'll talk about where to invest time in feed optimization, how to set up shopping campaigns for the best bidding (and thus, results!) possible, and we'll dive into the nitty-gritty of Smart Shopping.
2. What top 3 skills and/or characteristics are important to have in your line of work?
The paid search marketers I see succeed the greatest are those who have the ability to make intelligent hypotheses from data points. That is, they're not just data nerds; they can also read the data and use it successfully. They also do well at never accepting the easy answer, but digging, digging, digging. There is a healthy curiosity that moves past the easy points and finds the real reason or solution. Finally, the most successful PPCers are team players. I am constantly amazed at how "nice" the PPC industry is. There a lot of people who genuinely like to learn from and help others. This is an essential skill to have as a marketer in 2019 because people skills matter as the robots take over the spreadsheet-crunching skills!
3. Which marketing tool could you not live without?
It's really not just one. There are many that we have become reliant on. Asana is our task management system that, along with Google calendar, keeps me from dropping everything. Optmyzr assists us in making smart optimizations in our accounts or building out big Shopping Ads accounts more rapidly than we could manually. Shape keeps our client budgets monitored which *really* helps me with peace of mind. Swydo is our reporting solution, and we have become dependent on it for our customized client reports that we send on a monthly basis.
4. What piece of career advice would you give your younger self, knowing what you know now?
Respect process OHHHH so much more than you did, young Kirk. Learn how to put things into a repeatable procedure that can be shared, taught, and implemented by yourself or others more easily. I relied far too much on my own head for too long in keeping things straight in selling to clients, setting up new Google accounts, training employees, etc.
5. Besides PPC, what's one topic of discussion that you could talk about for hours on end?
Funny enough, theology! I have two degrees in theology and am active in my local church with teaching and reading. I love to discuss the finer points of what various verses/topics/themes in the Bible mean, especially as it pertains to getting as close as possible to the original author's intent in writing! Also Star Wars, French Fries, and my family. They're pretty awesome.
6. Where can we connect with you online?
If you type in PPCKirk just about anywhere, I should be there. But, I am most active on Twitter and LinkedIn (as PPCKirk). My website is zatomarketing.com, n which I maintain an active blog about Paid Search things (and sometimes ZATO announcements), especially Google and Bing Shopping tips and learnings.
7. BONUS: What's your favorite GIF? 🙂
I've used one of these two more than all other GIFs combined!
Want to hear more from PPCKirk?! Grab your tickets for the 29th now!

The Daj Daj AIO is popular among moms because it makes diapering quick and easy, while dads and grandparents like the fact that you simply can't put it on wrong. This model has leg gussets that prevent any leaking, as well as elastic along the back and around the legs. Our AIO is practical for outings, daycare and any baby who tends to fuss when being changed. During potty training, this diaper can be used without the insert as a substitute for panties.
Nighttime use requires an Additional insert.
Wash at 40-60⁰C with 1/3 the usual amount of an additive-free detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse twice. We recommend a 1000-1200 rpm spin cycle to ensure easier drying. It is best to sun dry Daj Daj diapers. Alternately, you can hang dry them close to a heat source or machine dry them at medium temperature (as for towels).
Daj Daj Diaper Covers can be machine-washed according to them same instructions as diapers. However, we recommend doing so only when necessary, as it is usually enough to hand wash them with a mild soap and rinse in lukewarm water.

Fredric J. Gooch – General Counsel/VP Compliance, DocuTech Corporation
Summer is here and the temperatures are heating up across the country. The regulatory environment also continues to heat up as new rules and regulations seem to be coming at a hot summer pace. Congress continues to debate issues related to oversight of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as we move quickly toward the July 21, 2011 designated transfer date. If things proceed outlined in the regulations pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, rulemaking authority and oversight of most laws regulating the mortgage lending industry will be transferred to the new bureau. Meanwhile the new bureau is busy floating new versions of a combined RESPA/TILA disclosure form for feedback. A new final rule setting forth minimum standards for state implementation of the SAFE Act has been set forth by HUD and the Federal Reserve has released final rules amending disclosure requirements for Adverse Action and Risk-Based Pricing Notices. Things are heating up, indeed. Let's take a brief look at these developments.
On June 29, 2011 HUD announced publication of a final rule that set minimum standards that states must meet to comply with the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (SAFE Act). The SAFE Act directs states to enact licensing standards that meet the requirements of the law. All fifty states have enacted legislation to support the federal law. Responsibility for interpretation, implementation and compliance with the Act was delegated to HUD and will be subsequently transferred to the CFPB pursuant to the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. This rule promulgated by HUD is intended to set minimum standards and offer clarification regarding state implementation of the Act.
The rule clarifies that it only sets minimum standards for implementation and that a state may impose additional requirements for regulation of loan originators. The rule offers clarification on when an individual is "engaged in the business of a loan originator." The rules states that an individual is engaged in the business of a loan originator when acting as a residential mortgage originator with respect to financing that is provided in a commercial context and with some degree of "habitualness and repetition." It states that the SAFE Act does not require licensure as loan originators for qualifying employees of government agencies, housing finance agencies or bona fide nonprofit organizations. HUD's rule leaves the issue of licensing of loan modification activity to be resolved by the new CFPB, and defers the definition of "Employee" to the federal banking agencies. It clarifies that loan processors and underwriters that are directed or supervised by licensed loan originators do not need to be licensed.
The new rule merits careful consideration and more information can be found at: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/press/press_releases_media_advisories/2011/HUDNo.11-133. The rule is effective August 29, 2011.
On July 6, 2011 the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Trade Commission issued final rules to implement additional credit score disclosure requirements mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act. The new rules require the disclosure of credit score information if a credit score is used in setting material terms of credit or in taking adverse action. These notices are required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). More details on the proposed rules can be found in an article from the June 2011 newsletter located at: http://www.docutechcorp.com/revisions-to-the-fcraecoa-adverse-action-notices. In short, the new notices require the disclosure of (1) the numerical credit score used in making the credit decision; (2) the range of possible scores under the model used; (3) the key factors that adversely affected the credit score of the consumer model used; (4) the date on which the credit score was created; and (5) the name of the person or the entity that created the score.
The final rules contain new model forms that may be used to comply with the new requirements. The final rules will become effective thirty days after the rules are published in the federal register. As of the date of this article the rules have not yet been published, but they are expected to be published soon. DocuTech will have revised forms available for use before the effective date. If you have questions or concerns regarding the adverse action or risk-based pricing notices, please contact your DocuTech client support representative. You can also access the final rules at: http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/bcreg/20110706a.htm.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been hard at work getting ready for the July 21, 2011 designated transfer date when they will assume regulatory authority over several consumer protection statutes. High on the list of priorities for the CFPB is simplifying the disclosure process for residential mortgage transactions. The Bureau has been hard at work circulating drafts of a combined TILA/RESPA disclosure for comment by consumers and industry participants. The most recent drafts of these disclosures were released on June 27, 2011. The new versions "Redbud Credit Union" and "Dogwood Credit Union" focus on the back page of the disclosure which deals with settlement costs. The Bureau is looking for feedback on whether these forms will help consumers understand closing costs. If you haven't seen these forms they can be found on the Bureau's website located at: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/know-before-you-owe-were-back/. DocuTech encourages everyone to not say no to know before you owe. While the comment period on this round of proposed disclosures expired on July 5, 2011, there are sure to be other opportunities to help improve these disclosures so they are beneficial to consumers and the industry. Be sure to make your voice heard.
The regulatory compliance environment is rapidly and constantly changing. These changes are expected to continue as authority is transferred to the CFPB. The changes on the federal level will force changes at the state level as states examine their consumer protection statutes in light of all the new rules. DocuTech is committed to keep you compliant with the changes in this turbulent environment. If you have any questions or concerns with these changes or any other issues related to mortgage documentation please contact your DocuTech client support representative.

Devenco were simply too good for finals opponents Smart in the inaugural Phnom Penh Post Mini Soccer Championship Friday, winning 9-5 while Total beat Indochina 8-5 in the third place playoffs
Devenco and Smart 4-a-side teams play in the Mini Soccer Championship final match at Kidzcool astroturf pitch Friday night.
Photos by: Nick Sells (www.nicksellsphotography.com)
Devenco produced a heady mix of speed, skill and quick rotations to outplay Smart 9-5 in the thrill-a-minute final of the Phnom Penh Post Mini Soccer Championship at Kidzcool Children and Family Fun Village on Chroy Changvar peninsular Friday evening.
Drawing strength from the vocal support of a sizeable sporting crowd around the astroturf pitch, Devenco stayed true to their professed strengths and never slackened their grip on a game they dominated start to finish. That, despite their star goalkeeper being sent off just a few minutes into the game for an apparent professional foul on a Smart attacker which saw an outstretched arm connect with the ball outside of the area.
The resultant yellow card meant the stopper had to sit out the remainder of the first half, but was allowed back in the second period to stamp his class through numerous expertly judged saves and timely interceptions.
Both Devenco and Smart encountered stiff resistance earlier Friday on the way to the final. While Devenco downed a big-hearted Total 12-9 in the first semifinal, Smart had to stretch every nerve and sinew to beat back a determined challenge from Indochina and clinch a close 4-3 victory.
In the third place play-off, Total got the better of a visibly fatigued Indochina 8-5.
The final standings left fourth placed Indochina with a bitter taste in the mouth after their superior showings in the regular season had seen them end top of the table by seven points. It had shades of last year's Cambodian Premier League when Phnom Penh Crown led the league handsomely going into the Super Four playoffs phase, only to lose both matches to come away with fourth while Naga Corp climbed up to take the honours.
A touch of good humour was introduced in the build up to the grand final Friday, with eight female staff members of Kidzcool playinga fun-filled 10-minute friendly in front of the receptive crowd. Tournament organiser Eric Delacollette took charge of the whistle, as the black shirted side scored thrice without reply. Each player was presented with a red rose for their efforts.
In the final itself, it took less than two minutes for Devenco to unlock the Smart defence and an early goal acted as a catalyst to spur them on to net three more in quick succession. Smart did well to fightback with three well worked goals of their own, but at the break were left still two goals adrift at 4-6.
Smart brought it back to within one in the first five of the 15-minute long second period, but that was as close as they came. Devenco, regrouping well and losing no chance to exert their top notch team work, came up with another rapid fire three that put paid to Smart's pretensions.
"They were too strong for us today," admitted Smart player Sok Yukisithikyuth after the game. "The close semifinals took a lot out of our players and we had less rest time than the Devenco players. They had very good bench strength. Every time they would find a good replacement, and it was hard for us to cope with that."
The Smart man revealed that his team were relative novices to 4-a-side games, having only practiced for the past six to seven months. "Most of our players are regular [11-a-side] footballers," he noted. "We are beginning to adapt ourselves to this form and I am confident we will get stronger."
Smart chief marketing manager Kirill Mankovsky was expressed his side's intent on going one better in the next tournament. "We would have been happy if we had won," he said. "We finished second, and that is an outcome which should inspire our team to do better in the future."
Devenco captain Khith Sipin was understandably over the moon about their success. "We grabbed the initiative early and held on to that momentum throughout. It was very good team work. Our players rotate the ball well and they play at a very good pace. Smart did put up a grand fight but we were always in control," he maintained.
KPMG finished dead last among the 10 teams vying for honours this year, with just 3 points from their 18 games and a negative 112 goal difference. However, their spirit of competition didn't go unnoticed as a near unanimous vote amongst the participating team captains declared them winners of the Fairplay award.
Phnom Penh Post CEO Michel Dauguet presented trophies to the winning team, with a shower of confetti raining down during the Devenco presentation to help spark wild celebrations.
As the crowd thinned out and a large projected screen displayed live images of South Africa's opening World Cup game against Mexico, leftover spectators and players set up an impromptu shootout competition. Kidzcool's giant inflatable goal frame allowed some acrobatic saves by volunteer keepers against some well struck and not so hot shots from participants, including Jimmy Campbell, Head Coach of a Cambodian team which is currently preparing for the 2010 Homeless World Cup to be staged in Brazil this September.

Cheesy Instant Pot goulash turned out amazing in my pressure cooker! Creamy goulash with two different cheeses, it's total comfort food in your pressure cooker or Ninja Foodi.
Who doesn't love goulash??!! I'm sure it was something you had as a child but maybe forgot about. But maybe this cheesy Instant Pot goulash is just the twist you need to try it again. If you're like me and enjoy easy Instant Pot recipes that take less than 20 minutes from start to finish, you will love this casserole of sorts. A quick and easy meal packed with flavor and drowned in cheesy sauce. (originally published 3/18, affiliate links present)
It is definitely a favorite Instant Pot dinner recipe your kids will love. It seriously tastes even more amazing the next day for leftovers (if there are any).
Look at this cheesy Instant Pot goulash!!
- Maybe it's just me but I love casseroles. An easy one pot meal that has it all and really needs no side items to prepare is just my style. DONE!
I started my pressure cooker casserole journey with this Instant Pot chicken parmesan casserole. It's a winner when I don't need to heat up my kitchen during the summer months.
I work from home so I like making meals that every one of us enjoys, but there is a bit left over so I have lunch for myself the next day, this was a great one (I would dare say even better the next day!).
- I have a 6 qt. Instant Pot and this recipe fit just fine. It made enough to feed I would say 6 people easily, 8 if you have kids.
It is filling with sausage (you could use ground beef), pasta, spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes. Lots of cheese is needed too I tell you. You don't need a heaping bowl to feel full and get that "oh my goodness is this good" feeling.
- Find even more like this on our roundup of Instant Pot pasta recipes.
This is what you'll need to make our easy cheesy pressure cooker goulash recipe
- Medium / Spicy sausage – I used Jimmy Dean in the sausage roll but you could add ground beef instead. Spicy sausage brings a tremendous amount of flavor without the need for seasoning and seasoning salt.
- this is how to defrost Instant Pot frozen ground beef in case you forgot to thaw it out the night before. 😉
- Pasta – We used this style but if you want a traditional looking goulash then elbow macaroni noodles could be used too, your choice
- Spaghetti sauce – I buy whatever is on sale
- Beef stock or broth
- Diced tomatoes – I like the petite style
- Cheddar and Parmesan cheese – you could use either or but I like a combo
- Heavy cream
- Onion & bell pepper – optional but brings a lot of flavor and a bit of texture
It is cheesy in the cheesy sauce kind of way, rather than the stringy you're going to have a hard time eating it and the cheese is going to get all stuck in your hair when you try to eat it kinda' cheesy. LOL.
I like it thick so I added just a cup of heavy cream but if you wanted it saucier you could add 1.5 cups of that to thin it out.
- Once you are done cooking it, open the lid and stir in the heavy cream and cheeses, stir so they melt, then it is ready to eat. BUT if you want it thick like you see here let it sit in your Instant Pot or pressure cooker for 5-10 minutes.
I am sure this will become one of our favorite meals and a family favorite for sure.
If you need it to be dairy free (like my husband does), just ladle out your goulash when the cooking is done for that person. Then add the cream and cheese for everyone else who wants it cheesy. Easy fix for that. 😉
Ours turned out perfect after 5 minutes with a quick release. More time will make noodles too soft.
Looking for other comfort food recipes?
- Here's a great traditional goulash recipe if you don't have a pressure cooker
- Pressure cooker lasagna casserole is similar to this goodie but tastes like lasagna
- Dorito casserole is a family fave
- Here are a bunch of other Instant Pot sausage recipes to enjoy
Here's the printable recipe for cheesy goulash.
Note: You could make this gluten free with alternative noodles but I haven't tested out the timing of this yet. If you do please share with us below so others can take advantage of the info.
We hope this ends up on our weekly meal planning schedule!
Cheesy Instant Pot Goulash
- 1 lb spicy sausage or ground beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 large onion diced
- 1 bell pepper diced, optional
- 2.5 c beef broth
- 4 c uncooked pasta 4 measuring cups full of uncooked pasta, we used rotini
- 24 oz spaghetti sauce
- 14.5 oz petite diced tomatoes
- 1 c heavy cream
- 3/4 c parmesan cheese grated
- 3/4 c cheddar cheese grated
- Turn your pressure cooker to saute and add olive oil, sausage or ground beef, onions and diced bell peppers.
- Cook until meat is no longer pink, turn Pot off/cancel button.
- Pour in your beef broth, then spaghetti sauce, then diced tomatoes, then your uncooked noodles and DO NOT stir.
- Push noodles down so they are submerged in liquid and close lid and steam valve. (if cooking on the stovetop do stir this and boil on low until noodles are soft enough for you and serve)
- Set pressure cooker to high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Do a quick release.
- Stir in heavy cream and cheese, stir until cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately or wait 5 minutes or so and allow goulash to thicken as it sits and then serve!

LePage suggests arming school staff could be 'voluntary'
Governor met with Trump, country's other governors at annual meeting Monday
Governor met with Trump, country's other governors at annual meeting Monday
Governor met with Trump, country's other governors at annual meeting Monday
Republican Gov. Paul LePage said federal regulations impede the ability for background checks to look into a person's mental health history.
LePage met with President Donald Trump and the country's other governors at an annual meeting Monday.
He spoke to Fox News' Neil Cavuto in the afternoon.
"We have to take a look at mental illness in this country," LePage said. "Some of the federal regulations on HIPAA prevent us from having true background checks. We can check the background of someone who has committed a crime, but we do not know what their mental state is."
LePage also suggested defining at what age an American becomes an adult.
"In the state of Maine, you can't buy a pack of cigarettes until you're 21 years old," he said. "I believe that we have to decide what age is going to be an adult. And we have to pick an age and let's stay there. If it's 21, that's fine, but it's got to be for signing contracts, it's got to be for not only going to guns, but going to war."
LePage said he supports the National Rifle Association and believes no one in the NRA would want a person who would do harm to own a gun.
"I'm a firm believer that if you're ever convicted of domestic violence, you should not be able to have a gun," he said.
He also said he supports Trump's idea of arming some staff members in schools.
"I don't think it should be mandatory. I think it should be voluntary. If I knew that a well-trained personnel in the school was there to protect our children, I find that to be a good move."

I was on the phone with my mom yesterday as I was commuting to work. Everyone on the bus was very loud and so to focus on what she was saying I closed my eyes. In that moment I got a revelation:
"When you can't see what's ahead you have to listen to God more".
I find that so true. There is so much vying for my attention. Social media, the opinions of others, what society tells you is important, what you think is important, things that you want right now but haven't happened yet, etc.
It is important to remember that your vision might not be clear, but God's voice is. You don't see anything ahead but God does. He saw you before you entered time and humanity, He has seen our entire lives from start to finish, He has probably already seen what we will be doing with Him in Heaven one day. He's wild like that.
It was a humble thought that centered me in this moment. It's okay to deprive yourself of one of your senses. In this case sight. I remember hearing once that when one of the senses is diminished i.e. taste, sight, sound–the other senses become stronger and I think this is extremely important when thinking about your relationship with God. At any given time you can feel blind, you can feel deaf, and in these seasons you have a choice. You can be paralyzed by the loss of that sense, or you can hone the other senses, you can improve them. You can use the others to compensate for the loss of the one.

Conservation ActionsSome small protected areas do exist within the Irrawaddy River Shark's range, but they are lacking proper personnel for effective management (Rao et al. 2001).
Location InformationThe full extent of this species' range is unknown. The Irrawaddy River Shark is known from only a single specimen collected in the Irrawaddy River delta, near the city of Yangon, Myanmar (Steindachner 1896).
Geographic Range
Population InformationKnown only from one specimen recorded in the original species description (Steindachner 1896).
ThreatsMangrove forests, which potentially is important habitat for the Irrawaddy River Shark, are being depleted for fuel, construction materials, and non-timber forest products (Scott 1989, Rao et al. 2002). Pollution in this river system is also a major concern.
This species would be captured in the artisanal fisheries operating in the Irrawaddy River since Glyphis species elsewhere are susceptible to net and line fisheries, but there are no specific records of their presence or abundance in the catch. Fishing pressure is intense in the Irrawaddy River. During surveys for the Irrawaddy Dolphin Orcaella brevirostris, a total of 5,701 fishing gears were recorded in the main channel of the Irrawaddy River (November to December 2002) (Smith 2003). Gillnets accounted for the majority of gear (excluding sticks with multiple hooks). Electric fishing was also reported during the survey (Smith 2003).

If any concerns are discovered during your exam, you can get an electrocardiogram (EKG) on site so your doctor can evaluate the electrical activity in your heart.
Once you develop a chronic disease or condition, it can't be cured. Instead, the disease is managed to prevent it from worsening and to keep you healthy.

Without ongoing management, these diseases can take a significant toll on your health.
Each type of chronic disease has its own management goal. For example, patients with diabetes need to keep their blood sugar within normal limits, while arthritis management focuses on reducing inflammation and pain while increasing joint mobility.

Often, seniors are taking several medications prescribed by different medical specialists. Your doctor at AMG Medical reviews your medications from all doctors to be sure you're not at risk for adverse drug interactions or side effects.

Search the internet about grinding your teeth, and a lot of results appear on the page in front of you…Did you know that there is an actual medical term for clenching and grinding your teeth? Bruxism is the term for this condition, and it can be painful and destructive. If you suffer from this malady, rest assured, you are not alone! Bruxism is a common condition that affects approximately 30-40 million adults and children in the U.S. alone. According to The Bruxism Association, based in the UK, the most effective way to treat this condition is with a night guard made by your dentist at McCall Family Dentistry. When you clench or grind at night, a night guard helps to lighten the tension and gives cushion to the muscles in the jaw. Not only does a night guard prevent face and jaw pain, but it also protects your tooth enamel. So how do you know if you're a clencher or grinder? Take a look at the checklist below….
Do you experience
- Rhythmic contractions of the jaw muscles?
- Grinding sounds at night?
- Jaw muscles that are tight or painful?
- Long-lasting pain in the face?
- Occasional swelling on the side of your lower jaw caused by clenching?
Bruxism can be a serious problem and you need to address it immediately with the dentists at McCall Family Dentistry. Do not go it alone and buy a do-it-yourself night guard. Studies show that you will yield the best results by working with our team! Some of the signs that you need to have this conversation are…
- Chipped teeth
- Chronic grinding
- Wake with a headache often
- You have Tamporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ)
- You take antidepressants
According to the American Sleep Association, the best way to address this issue is to have a night guard made in our office by Dr. Ryan. This type is the most effective because these night guards are made from impressions and are an exact match to your teeth. Again, steer clear of night guards you can purchase and do yourself. They cannot be custom fit to your mouth with the accuracy you will receive from the dentists at McCall Family Dentistry. In fact, you are more likely to need more expensive dental care in the future with store bought night guards. A night guard made by Dr. Ryan is a worthwhile investment in the long run, and in many cases, dental insurance covers all or part of the cost! Having a night guard made at our office has many benefits for clenching and grinding. Here are the top six…
- Prevention of tooth damage - this can lead to chipped teeth, damaged fillings and excessive wear of the teeth and enamel. Long-term damage can be done if both of these protective layers are worn away.
- Less tension and pain - less stress on joints and muscles. Your jaw muscles can exert a force up to 1300 Newtons! Is it any wonder why you would have pain after clenching and grinding during a full night's sleep?
- Headache prevention
- Improved sleep patterns - a night guard facilitates muscle relaxation
- Prevention of snoring - yes, your partner will thank you
- Money saving in the long-term - clenching and grinding damages and/or destroys your teeth, and restorative treatments for aesthetic and function can become expensive.
Guards are not for the night alone. An estimated 20% of the population suffer something called awake Bruxism. Be sure to also consult McCall Family Dentistry if you find that you are experiencing clenching and grinding during the day. So what can you expect at your visit? You will actually have to make two appointments. But don't worry, they are not lengthy by any means! There are two types of night guards available, soft and hard. Our team will recommend the the right one for you. The first appointment should only last about 20 minutes, and Dr. Ryan will take an impression of your teeth in office. At McCall Family Dentistry, we send them out to a lab to create the actual night guard from the impressions. Your second appointment is a mere 10 minutes, and Dr. Ryan will place the night guard to assure the proper fit. You will then receive instructions on how to properly care for your night guard.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, about 10% of adults and 15% of children suffer from Bruxism. Why suffer in silence? Know that you are not alone and that McCall Family Dentistry can help! A night guard is an easy solution to difficult problem. They are lightweight, comfortable and practical! If you are a person who clenches or grinds day or night, make an appointment to see us today. Your joints and muscles will thank you!

Humanity is best known for confusing one thing for another and doing things in the name of following cultural guidelines or social expectations. But, is that action justified? Is it even a rational mindset? Most times, such behavior is very harmful and dangerous to individuals. That is why it is important to analyze how, if, and why that behavior is acceptable or unacceptable. In the short story The Lottery Shirley Jackson uses imagery, irony, and symbolism in order to assert that human morality is heavily dependent on the desires and expectations of the individual and ultimately the society in which the individual is a part of.
Jackson starts the narrative as any narrative should be started, by introducing the setting. This is helpful in the lines of developing the themes due to the background that the setting provides us with. In the beginning of the short story she is setting up the layout for the Lottery and she informs us that "The children assembled first, of course," (Jackson). This allows the audience both insight to the attitudes toward the lottery and the process of the lottery, itself. The attitudes shown through the children can be seen as eager or even excited, considering that "Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones," (Jackson). Even if the villagers want to deny it, they are eager and excited to get the lottery started. What is even worse about it is that it obviously starts at a young age.
Not only does setting play a role in developing this theme, but so does irony. There are several examples of irony throughout the text that show the unpredictable nature of human behavior. At the beginning, as everybody assembled, there were some signs of some affection and caring for one another. There was even some hesitance, later, when Steve Adams began talking about how other villages had stopped doing the lottery. However, later, he becomes more than supportive of the ritual when Tessie Hutchinson became the set target of the violence and "[he] was in the front of the crowd,"(Jackson). This is an ironic twist and further proves the villagers to be cruel, because Adams discussed the idea of quitting the lottery so long as he was at risk. As soon as the air has been cleared, and somebody else turns out to be the victim, he seems to be all to excited about ending the ceremony and going out on a strong note. Other people pick up on his excitement as well, "Such heavy-handed ironic twists imply that there is no such thing as communal love, or even sympathy, in the human heart," (Coulthard). Which happens to be a pretty accurate inference. Also, Tessie Hutchinson is responsible for an ironic twist of her own. She, however, starts the story with a negligence toward the people. She seems as if she does not really care what happens either way. Nonetheless, when the tables are turned she seems as if she changes her attitude completely screaming "'It isn't fair, it isn't right,'" (Jackson) just before they were upon her. This ironic twist serves to prove, once again, how people's mindset can be affected under pressure.
Symbolism also plays a huge role, as the symbols throughout the story provide a form of mainstay for the theme. There are several symbols throughout The Lottery, one of the most prominent being the stones. We are first introduced to the stones in the beginning of the text as the people begin to assemble. After that, the stones re-occur, making them symbols. One of the first instances of the stones is in the beginning when the children are gathering and
"Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones; Bobby and Harry Jones and Dickie Delacroix—the villagers pronounced this name 'Dellacroy'—eventually made a great pile of stones in one corner of the square and guarded it against the raids of the other boys," (Jackson).
The stones are unadvanced weapons or tools, making them primitive. Even more so, they are given to children, and the children are eager to gather them as well, symbolizing human instinct for violence. Especially if the children are aware of the fact that the stones they have chosen are "The ones best for accurate throwing," (Coulthard) as Coulthard implies. If they have an extension of knowledge on the subject, then there is a reason they have it. Coincidentally, there is another example of symbolism, the marked slip of paper. Jackson best describes it as "[Having] a black spot on it, the black spot Mr. Summers had made the night before with the heavy pencil in the coal company office." (Jackson). This little paper says a lot more about the story than people infer. The paper is a symbol that is representative of how easy it is for the people to literally take somebody else's life into their own hands. Also, if the people wished to end the tradition they easily could, however they allow the violence to continue.
Primarily, Jackson conveys a theme that not many people pick up on. Jackson's spin on the concept of morality and humanity is a dark one, as she makes implications that people will do what is expected of them, so long as it does not cause them any harm. Jackson makes the implication that people are selfish and that society is cruel with the help of a few literary devices.

Tufts softball coach Cheryl Milligan has decided to step down from her position after 15 years at the helm of the program.
Milligan said her decision to leave her post was not an easy one and was made based on the interest of her five-year-old son, Henry. Milligan's husband, Jamie Pinzino, is the pitching coach at Army.
"I have been at Tufts since 2003, and my husband has been in Rhode Island, in Eastern Virginia, in Oklahoma, in Western Virginia and now at West Point. We've been commuting back and forth in this scenario for about five years since my son was born," Milligan said. "He's a little bit more aware of time and place, so I think last year we just told him that we were going on vacation and we moved to Massachusetts for four months. So he's just a little bit more involved socially at school. It's just hard having him in two schools, and he deserves a little bit of stability too … In choosing between that and being in two places and two different schools and life being a little too hectic, it was time really to put Henry first."
Senior infielder Christian Cain recalled the moment when Milligan broke the news to the Jumbos.
"She sat us down in the film room, and I didn't expect any of this. She told us that she has a son, Henry, who is five years old, and he's been having to move back and forth … so it's been really difficult for him," Cain said. "She made the decision around him. She's been putting softball as her first priority for a while, and now it was time for Henry to be that priority. Everyone understood that was the right choice. Everyone was sad but very understanding that her intentions behind the decision were really pure."
The Jumbos saw much success during Milligan's tenure, including a perfect 51–0 record in 2015. Milligan led the program to five NCAA title games, winning three in a row from 2013 to 2015 — the first team to ever accomplish such a feat. Milligan and her staff were awarded the National Coaching Staff of the Year in all three of those years.
Instead of highlighting her teams' on-field accomplishments, Milligan pointed to the intangibles that have come with coaching the program for 15 years.
"Obviously, we've got a bunch of wins under our belt. That's great and all, but I think what's most important to me, though, is just the family that we've been able to create and maintain," she said. "I just think that we managed to do what we set out to do — we've managed to take a bunch of really smart kids that nobody thought could ever win a national championship and [we won] a national championship and, at the same time, [maintained] the academic excellence that is expected of a Tufts student-athlete."
Milligan also spoke of the coaches and student-athletes she will miss.
"We've had some tremendous lifelong friends in the athletics department amongst my peers, certainly [volleyball] coach [Cora] Thompson and [baseball] coach [John] Casey, other people who have been at my wedding, at my son's christening — these are people that are part of our family for a long, long time," Milligan said. "I'll miss our student-athletes the most."
Cain spoke to the legacy that Milligan will leave behind in the Tufts softball program.
"Our program is a winning program. We don't settle for not being great, and I think she's embedded that into our culture and that's never going to change," Cain said. "She set our tone and she set the culture, telling us to always have each other's back."
Temporarily succeeding Milligan will be associate head coach Lauren Ebstein. Ebstein graduated from Tufts in 2007, having played for Milligan as a pitcher during her four years on the Hill. She has been on Milligan's staff in two separate spells, first as an assistant for two seasons and then returning to the same role in 2013.
Milligan joked that with the quality of the team that is returning this season, the Jumbos should perform at their typical high standards. Ultimately, she wished the team all the best going forward.
"Coach Ebstein has been at my side for quite some time now, and, obviously, I wish her the very best and hope that she will continue to take the program to new heights," Milligan said. "It's nice for the kids to have the stability going forward that they don't have to wonder for a month, a month and a half while we do a search in terms of what's going to happen [and] what their new coach is going to be like. For our athletes, it is a very big part of their lives and their Tufts experience, so it's nice for them to have that pretty smooth transition. I will miss them dearly and I know that coach [Ebstein] is going to give 100 percent into making the team great."

Turin-based design house Italdesign recently revealed plans for a new ultra low production supercar division, and now it's unveiled its first model at Volkswagen's Geneva Motor Show Conference. The new car is named the Italdesign Zerouno.
The supercar is aimed at collectors and what Italdesign calls 'visionary enthusiasts', the first car is meant to combine racing car features with on road usability, although how often potential owners will take them out on the road is anyone's guess.
Subscribe to evo magazine
Italdesign Automobili Speciali, as the new bespoke brand is known, will be building a grand total of five Zerounos before the end of the year. Each one utilises a modular carbon fibre and aluminium chassis, with bespoke carbon fibre bodywork.
Powered by a 5.2-litre V10 sourced from Audi, Italdesign is quoting performance figures of 3.2 seconds to 62mph and a top speed in excess of 200mph. These figures have been achieved through a symbiotic relationship between the design and engineering departments, ensuring as little compromise as possible in its aerodynamic properties and dynamic ability.
Looking distinctly related to Lamborghini's latest design language, the supercar has been designed to offer what Italdesign calls 'two sides of one medal'. In other words, it combines smooth GT inspired design above the belt line and a more aggressive and technical look below it.
In what will become one of multiple 'special cars' under the Italdeisgn Automobili Speciali brand, the Italdesign Zerouno is part of the car industry's coach-built renaissance, a historic past-time that is being revitalised due to increased interest in bespoke vehicles from emerging markets, as well as the technical abilities of building in materials like carbon fibre.
No prices for the Italdesign Zerouno have been announced, but given the exotic and exclusive nature of the car expect it to be priced well into the hundreds of thousands.
