7 tips for keeping kids safe

Kids are going to fall, crash, slip, explore. It’s part of being a kid. But we can protect them from serious injuries.  Preventable injuries are the #1 killer of kids in the U.S. and each year a million families around the world lose a child to these injuries.

1.       Tug on your kid’s car seat where the seat belt goes.

2.       Secure furniture and TVs.

3.       Check smoke and CO alarms monthly.

4.       Scan your home for places kids can get into medicine.

5.       Check around your house for coin-sized button batteries.

6.       Ask your kid’s coaches if they have had concussion or sports safety training.

7.       Call to action: Take the Challenge and Take Action Against Distraction.

Ten Ways to Rise-N-Shine in the Morning

Ten Ways to Rise-N-Shine in the Morning

Changing your lifestyle to become a morning person has become easier with the help of Rise-N-Shine’s revolutionary pill, Wake Up On Time.

The 7th Annual World Sleep Day takes place on March 14, where members of the World Association of Sleep Medicine and the World Sleep Day Committee come together and educate the world on the importance of getting enough sleep. An astonishing 21% of adults get less than six hours of sleep each night, making it hard from them to be a morning person. Numerous studies have shown that morning people are generally happier than say people who sleep well past 10am on a daily basis. Changing your lifestyle to become a morning person has become easier with the help of Rise-N-Shine’s revolutionary pill, Wake Up On Time.

Cathy Beggan, Founder and CEO of Rise-N-Shine, LLC, has come up with 10 tried and true ways to become a morning person overnight.
1.    Avoid chocolate, coffee and red wine in the evening hours. These foods have been known to disturb sleep patterns and digestive tracts.
2.    Have an early dinner. Make sure dinnertime meals are finished before 7pm or at least 3 hours before bedtime.
3.    Swallow an alarm clock. Take 1 tablet of Wake Up On Time six-eight hours before the alarm is set to go off.
4.    Establish a sleep cycle. It’s important to notice when the body starts to get tired and being able to adjust
5.    Keep the lights off. Rays of light from nightlights, hall lights, bathroom lights or even T.V.’s can disturb a natural sleep pattern.
6.    Relax. Turn the mind off at night is an important component of quality sleep. Yoga and meditation can help turn the mind off after an action packed day.
7.    Exercise in the morning. Exercising at night can release endorphins that can keep the body awake for longer periods of time. Releasing these endorphins in the morning or during the day can help give the body more energy when it’s needed most.
8.    Have a nighttime routine.  Once a more concrete sleep cycle has been established, creating a nightly routine can help prepare the body for rest.
9.    Read a book. Watching T.V. in bed can sometimes stimulate the mind so choose something that will wear the mind out, like reading.
10.    Close your eyes. Sometimes the first step to falling asleep is closing your eyes and allowing yourself to rest.

Next Goal Wins – Tribeca Official Selection – Select Theaters 4/25

nextgoalwinsKetchup Entertainment is proud to announce the world premiere of the powerful and uplifting documentary NEXT GOAL WINSdirected by Mike Brett and Steve Jamison, which will kick off the Tribeca Drive-In® series at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival on April 19th. The film follows the American Samoa soccer team — FIFA’s* lowest ranked team for 17 years – which had not won a single competitive game and scored only twice in nearly two decades. Dutch coach Thomas Rongen takes on the daunting challenge of leading the team to the grueling 2014 World Cup Qualification matches with the hope of finally winning their first ever competitive match.

Rongen – a hyperactive, abrasive leader from the old school who had played professionally with soccer greats like George Best and Johann Cruyff – is completely unprepared for what greets him on the tiny island in the Pacific. In his own words, “this is by far the lowest standard of soccer I’ve ever seen.”

Rongen soon begins putting together the most important pieces of the American Samoan team: He brings back Nicky Salapu, the emotionally scarred goalkeeper who once gave up 31 goals in a match against Australia; he convinces the team’s best player Ramin Ott, an American serviceman stationed 6,000 miles away to rejoin; and finally, he promotes to the starting lineup Jaiyah Saelua, a member of Samoa’s third gender (the fa’fafine), who identifies as a woman and becomes the first transgender player ever to compete at an international level. It will take a miracle-maker or a madman to turn the team’s fortunes around – and in maverick Dutch coach Thomas Rongen the islanders somehow find both. Rongen has just one month to transform this disparate crew into a winning team. Along the way, he undergoes a remarkable epiphany and comes to terms with a family tragedy.

NEXT GOAL WINS is a hilarious and inspirational story about the power of hope in the face of insurmountable odds, and an object lesson in what it really means to be a winner in life.
