YOUR FACEBOOK PICTURES MAY

NOT BE AS SAFE AS YOU THINK

Back in January, Greg McKenna, using the name

Lacey Noonan, received media attention for his nov-

el featuring New England Patriots tight end Rob

Gronkowski. The Patriots objected, but Amazon.com

only pulled the self-published e-book off the market

because of an Ohio couple’s lawsuit regarding an

image on the book’s cover. The plaintiffs claim that

the cover photo is one of their engagement pictures

from their Facebook page. They say the author did

not ask the couple for permission to use the photo,

and they call the author’s work “offensive.” The

couple is also suing the companies that sold digital

formats of the book without their permission. This

case is now in federal court.

Even though there is not a way to make your Face-

book profile picture non-downloadable, you can still

control who can and cannot see your other pictures.

It is important that you edit your privacy settings so

outsiders cannot view your photo albums. If you

would like to see how your profile and photo albums

look to people who are not your friend on Facebook,

you can click on the “View As…” feature on your

Facebook profile. You will discover which photo

albums are available to outsiders and which are not

available. The only downside is that your current

Facebook profile picture and cover photo will be

visible to everyone, no matter how strict your privacy

settings.

Here are four other tips to maximize your privacy

settings on Facebook:

Who can see your future posts? This is one of the

most common privacy settings on Facebook. To use

it, go to your privacy settings by clicking on the lock

icon in the right-hand corner and click on “Who can

see my stuff?” It will give you a drop-down menu

and you can select which groups of people can see

your posts. If you select public, then anyone can see

your posts. If you select friends, only your Facebook

friends can see your posts.

Blocking people from your account - This is an-

other common Facebook privacy feature. If someone

is harassing or threatening you, the best choice would

be to block them. To access the blocking setting,

click on the lock icon in the right-hand corner and

click on “How do I stop someone from bothering

me?” It will give you a blank space to type in a per-

son’s name or e-mail address and they will be

blocked from seeing your profile.

Disabling the search engine feature - If you are

uncomfortable with your Facebook profile being

searchable on the Internet, you can disable the fea-

ture, making it more difficult for employers to find

you. Go to your privacy settings by clicking on the

lock icon in the right-hand corner and click on “See

More Settings.” A list will appear, and then you will

need to click on “Do you want other search engines

to link your timeline?” under “Who can look me

up?”

Creating a pseudo name on Facebook - If you do

not want employers and other professionals trying to

search your name on Facebook, you can change your

name. Most people change their last name to their

middle name, or they abbreviate their first or last

name. To change your name on Facebook, click on

the upside down triangle icon, and click on

“Settings” in the drop-down menu. Click on “Edit”

under “Name” to change your Facebook name.

COOK WITH YOUR KIDS

I remember my first cooking set

that I received for Christmas when I was 7

or 8 years old. I vividly remember my

friends and me putting ingredients together

to create a recipe that we thought would

make us famous. I took the reins of the

kitchen as a teenager because I was a latch

key kid; I was home by 2 p.m. My entire

family was working so I

learned early to have a meal

prepared when they re-

turned home. From my

cooking experiences as a

child, I learned cooking

skills that stayed with me

for life.

Results from the

National Survey of Chil-

dren’s Health indicate that

just over three-fourth of

children have family meals

about four times a week.

This tells us that family

meals are not a thing of the

past. This tradition presents

a unique opportunity for

parents and caregivers to

allow children to learn to

cook.

When children

help with meal preparation

and cooking they learn val-

uable life skills such as contributing to the

family, making choices and problem solv-

ing. Research shows that children who help

with meal preparation are more likely to

eat what they prepare. This presents a good

opportunity for parents to talk about

healthy eating with their children. In addi-

tion, having kids in the kitchen increases

their creativity and bolster their self-

esteem. Children also increase their math

and reading skills as they read and measure

ingredients for recipes. There is no greater

pleasure for a child than to prepare a food

item and to see the family enjoy it.

Getting kids involved in meal

preparation and cooking should begin with

menu planning and grocery shopping.

Have children suggest meal items and let

them help in making the grocery list and

shopping for the ingredients. Children can

choose a vegetable of the week and find

interesting ways to prepare it. This can go

a long way in increasing vegetable intake.

As you introduce children to the

kitchen and get them started with cooking,

remember to assign children age appropri-

ate tasks. Preschoolers should be able to

help with chopping, mixing and setting the

table.

An elementary age child can help

with salads, assembling a pizza and other

items for the family meal, while a teenager

could prepare an entire meal. The en-

tire family could

be involved with meal planning and gro-

cery shopping. Remember that as children

prepare meals it can become messy so ex-

pect this and be patient, the rewards far

outweigh the inconvenience.

Safety should always be empha-

sized. Hand washing at the beginning and

throughout food preparation can prevent

your family members from becoming sick.

Do not allow children to eat raw eggs and

have them wait until the food is cooked

before delving into it. Uncooked and raw

food could be a source of bacteria. Be care-

ful with knives as they can cause serious

injuries. Always remember to provide su-

pervision when food preparation involves

the use of ovens, stoves and other kitchen

appliances.
