3Gifted Youth Exhibits Talent At The Annual Festival

FFeaturing a variety of incredible music and dance performances, the 4th annual International Childrens Festival that took place this Saturday,

November 15, 2014, was defi nitely an event to visit. Th e festival began with a fabulous piano performance of Tchaikovskys Dance Of Th e Little Swans by Nikita Sazanov, a student of the

Svetlana Katz Piano School. Th e famous and familiar sounds of this classic captured the compelling history behind traditional music, and was a great way to open the show. Lily Williams, who represented Olga Skuzs music class, demonstrated her amazing piano skills by playing Beethovens Fur Elise. She is also an accomplished gymnast and a gift ed singer; a perfect role model for American youth.

Later Sean Nixon intro-duced computer-themed music to the show, which was very dif-

ferent from the classical music played by the previous students. When his teacher (Emiliya Nisn-evich) asked him why he loves this type of music, he simply an-swered because it gives me en-

ergy. Th is was defi nitely demon-strated in his performance with the exuberant sounds that left a very memorable impression on the audience. Following his impressive solo, he performed a duet with his brother Eric who, although already in college, is still passionate about composing music. Adding to the creativity of the festival, Ralph Odnoralov insisted on playing Hes a Pirate (the theme song of Th e Pirates Of Th e Caribbean) and tastefully craft ed an amazing version of the well known tune, which was perhaps one of the best perfor-mances of the day. Th e second part of the festival consisted of amazing dance routines from a variety of professional dance and arts studios, including Science, Arts and Sport Center for Chil-dren, Adeleens World of Dance, Ukrainian and Bulgarian Com-munity Groups, Living Th eater of Bethel Community and oth-

ers featuring their most talented students.

Meanwhile the creative pro-grams took place at the Recital Hall and Stage Th eater, there was also an Arts and Vendors Exhibition just down the hall. While the adults socialized and enjoyed the delicious European pastries, BBQ, pilaf and bever-ages prepared by members of Bethel Community, the kids received free face painting and balloon animals customized to their taste. Th e celebrated Rus-sian childhood songs playing in the room complemented the ani-

mated atmosphere. Many of the vendors attending the event rep-resented international business-es, which really helped bring to-gether a community of diff erent cultures and traditions. Its hard to believe just how diverse the community in Denver is; shaped by people from all over the globe who brought with them so much

of what makes them so unique and infl uenced the creation of a strong international community. No need to mention that this cel-ebration of youth would not be possible without strong commu-nity support. Festival sponsors are Bethel Community Church,Gorizont Newspaper, Cozy Den-tal, DenverOK, Olgas School,

Petra Bee, Kirill Merkulov, Ato Z Homecare, Crystal Bou-tique, Roman Balaban Attorney at Law, Atlantic Group, ComfortAdult Day Care, True Care

Th e festival was a perfect op-portunity for children to artis-tically express themselves anddemonstrate their passion formusic, dance, and other per-forming arts. It was a fantasticevent that left the attendees anx-ious to attend it next year; sohopefully youll mark this day in your calendar and get a chanceto see the spectacular festival for yourself in 2015!

Family-friendly volunteering opportunities any parents encourage their youngsters to vol-

unteer in the hopes that their kids will grow up recognizing the importance of helping the less fortunate and giving something back to their com-munities.

Depending on a youngsters age, he or she may be hesitant to volunteer. Young children may be shy, while older kids may already be burdened with schedules far busier than their parents ever had to contend with. But volunteering can help kids estab-lish a strong connection to their communities and introduce them to new people, the likes of which they may otherwise never get a chance to meet or befriend.

Youngsters hesitant about volunteering may be more likely to embrace it if they are joined by their parents. Th e following are a handful of fam-ily-friendly volunteering opportunities perfect for parents looking to fi nd ways to give back to their communities while instilling the value of volun-teering in their kids.

Nature cleanup: Whether its working to re-move litter from a nearby beach or pitching in to clean up a local park, a volunteering opportunity in the great outdoors is hard for adults and kids to resist. Kids likely will enjoy the idea of spend-ing a weekend morning or aft ernoon at the park or

beach, and parents can get some sun as they teachtheir kids the value of protecting the planet andpitching in to keep a community looking great.

Soup kitchen: Many kids may fi nd it hard to relate to people without a home to call their own. Volunteering at a soup kitchen, where youngsterscan witness fi rsthand that not everyone is fortunateenough to enjoy three meals a day and have a roof over their heads, is a great way for parents to in-still a sense of compassion for the less fortunate in their children. Youngsters can serve meals along-side their parents or help deliver meals to menand women who have been rendered immobile by medical conditions.

Nursing home: Nursing homesaccept volunteers of all ages, and families can go together to pitch in and brighten the days of elderly men and women. Kids can read toor play cards or other games withnursing home residents while their folks lend a helping hand in otherareas around the facility.

Special Olympics: Volunteering with the Special Olympics is an-other great way for families to giveback together. Th e Special Olym-pics is the worlds largest sports or-ganization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, andmillions of people volunteer with

the Special Olympics across the globe. Families can volunteer to work directly with the athletes orwork as event volunteers and fans. Kids who likesports will love the chance to give back in a sport-ing atmosphere, and parents will love the lessons kids learn about having compassion for those withdisabilities.

Animal shelter: Many kids love animals, so vol-unteering with a local animal shelter is a great way for families to bond as they give back to their com-munities. Animal shelters may need help during special adoption events, or may simply need some extra hands to maintain their facilities.

Helpful hints for fundraiser organizers Raising money for a good

cause is a rewarding experi-ence. But as satisfying as such an endeavor can be, men and women trusted with organizing a fundraiser may experience a few bumps in the road as they attempt to raise both awareness and money for their causes.

Fundraisers come in all shapes and sizes, but there are a few strategies men and women trusted with organizing such af-fairs can employ regardless of how big or small their event is likely to be.

Learn about your cause. Not everyone trusted with organiz-ing a fundraiser knows their cause front to back. Some people with a background in fundrais-ing may volunteer with a chari-table organization that wants to put their unique skill sets to work as soon as possible. When trusted with running a fund-raiser, organizers should learn as much as possible about their cause so they can accurately an-swer questions prospective sup-porters may have when asked to donate. Keep this learning pro-cess fl uid, continuing to study up on your cause even aft er you have announced the fundraiser and started soliciting donations.

Choose your audience. As illustrated by the Ice Bucket Challenge, a fundraising phe-nomenon that took Facebook by storm in the summer of 2014, social media has now made it easier than ever to make the world your audience when raising funds for a good cause. But its still important to choose a primary audience you want to attract. A large-scale fundraiser may want to target local corporations with deep pockets, as such organizations oft en make especially large do-nations that can help organiz-ers quickly recoup their over-head costs and devote more of their donations to the cause. When planning a fundraiser thats smaller in scale, you may want to target small businesses and private citizens in your community, as small-scale fun-draisers tend to have a signifi -cant tie to local communities and community leaders and residents will be willing to do-nate to a cause they can more readily relate to.

Choose an event participants will fi nd fun. Organizers must choose an event thats going to inspire donors to go into their pockets. But the event should

also be fun for donors and par-ticipants. When choosing anevent, think of the fun factor, as an event that prospective donorsand participants fi nd enjoyablemay spur them to encouragefriends and family members tojoin in their eff orts, and that ex-tra participation will likely lead to greater numbers with regardto donations.

Choose the right location. Convenience is another thing fundraiser organizers must con-sider. Events that attract more people are almost certain to raise more money than events which dont generate much participa-tion. Choose a location thats easily accessible and comfort-able for prospective participantsso they are more likely to attend and maybe even bring a few friends or family members withthem.

Get the word out. Spread-ing the word should not be very diffi cult, especially if you makeuse of social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. In addition to so-cial media, contact local radio and television stations and ask if they can donate some air-time so you can publicize yourevent.

Career opportunities abound in the nonprofit

sector Nonprofit organizations re-

quire the talents of many dif-ferent types of workers and not just those looking to vol-unteer.

According to the National Center for Charitable Statis-tics, more than 1.4 million nonprofit organizations oper-ate within the United States alone, so individuals who hope to work in the nonprofit sector have many organiza-tions to choose from.

Even though they do not aim to turn a profit, non-profit organizations still face the same challenges and have the same needs, including the need for competent staff mem-bers, as many for-profit busi-nesses. In addition to earning their livings, employees of nonprofit organizations often thrive on the notion that they are doing their share to make a difference in the world.

As with any other company, nonprofits have to fill certain roles in an organization. The following are some common job descriptions as they per-tain to nonprofit organiza-tions.

Executive officer: The executive director or presi-dent of a nonprofit reports directly to the organizations Board of Directors. He or she will have strategic and opera-tional responsibility for the nonprofits staff, expansion, programs, and daily mission. The ED will serve as a coach to help retain and develop the nonprofits senior manage-ment team, depending on the size of the organization. He or she also will serve as a liaison between the board and the employees.

Chief financial officer: The size of a nonprofit, the com-plexity of its programs and its revenue sources will drive the responsibilities of the CFO. At smaller nonprofits, the CFO may branch out beyond com-plex finance and investment activities to take on functional

and even problem-solving capabilities. At larger non-profits, the CFO may be more involved with reporting and meeting the requirements of

government contracts. Fundraisers: Fundraising

is a key component for non-profits and how many of them remain operational. Portions of fundraising efforts are de-voted to corporate operations, while the remainder will be allocated for the cause. Fun-draising can be broken down further into various niches, depending on the nonprofits size. Annual funds, alumni af-fairs, direct marketing, grant seeking, and donor relations are various parts of the larg-er fundraising picture. If the nonprofit has a large fundrais-ing staff, each of these divi-sions may be handled sepa-rately. Otherwise, all of them may be grouped under the umbrella fundraising title.

Public relation specialist: A public relations or mar-keting professional works with senior management or independently to develop a communications plan for the organization. He or she will develop the nonprofits core messages and ensure consis-tency across various media. A PR professional also will respond to inquiries about the organization. In times of crisis, the PR professional will downplay any negative news and work to shed positive light on the organization.

Administrative roles: Non-profits need accounting and financial professionals, office administrators, human re-sources employees, informa-tion systems and IT workers, and a staff to handle market-ing. Administrative positions often overlap inside small nonprofit organizations.

Nonprofits may not have the same pay structure as oth-er private organizations, but nonprofit professionals often find their jobs rewarding.

The rewards of foster care Children sometimes must

be separated from their families due to crisis or abuse. More than 510,000 children are in foster care in the United States alone. Th ats a troubling fi gure, especially when one realizes there arent enough foster families to take them in nor is there enough money to provide all of the necessities that every child needs.

Child abuse, substance abuse and criminal behavior can be dif-fi cult to discuss, and that may be one reason why foster care does not get much attention. Individu-als looking to help young people in their communities may want to become a foster parent.

According to Th e Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Re-porting System, of the thousands of children in foster care in the United States, the majority fall into two age groups: very young children fi ve years old or younger and older children between the ages of 13 and 18. Many kids have to live in group care or institu-tional settings, and some children spend so much time in the foster care system that they simply age out and are forced to care for themselves upon turning 18.

Foster care families can change the lives of youngsters forever by opening their homes

to children in need. Th e rewards of becoming a foster parent are numerous, not the least of which is the chance to connect with a child who may have lost a con-nection to others. Foster parents and families can provide for a childs physical, emotional and social needs while helping chil-dren and adolescents to feel safe and loved. A foster family may be a childs only experience with a positive family dynamic, and that can help pave the way to a better life. In addition, foster parents may add a beloved member to their family.

Laws vary depending on where the fostering will take place, but typically an adult with a steady source of income and his or her own means of transportation can be considered as a foster parent. A foster parent will become part of a team working collectively to ensure a childs well-being. It is the hope that a foster family and a birth family can work together for the best interests of the chil-dren involved.

Th e length of time a child will stay in a foster home depends on the situation. Some are there only a few days, while others may be with foster parents for weeks or months as social workers and courts work to determine what is

in the best interests of the child. A foster home may be the bridge between moving back in with a birth family, being relocated to a relatives home or instituting the adoption process. Some foster parents choose to adopt foster children, but such willingness is not a prerequisite for becoming a foster family.

Th e most important qual-ity potential foster parents must possess is a love of children and a willingness to help a youngster. Being a foster parent is not easy and may require a strong mea-sure of patience. But the rewards of making a diff erence in a childs life can make any hardships well worth it.

Foster parents typically re-ceive a monthly stipend from their state, county or province to reimburse them for the childs basic living expenses. Medical in-surance may be covered by birth parents, or government assistance may be available to cover such costs.

Sometimes foster relationships stretch on well aft er the child has been reunited with his or her birth parents or placed in a new home. Strong attachments be-tween foster children and parents can develop, and some kids even visit their former foster parents

Choosing the Right Toys this Holiday Can Help Kids Meet Developmental Milestones

Th is holiday season, keep in mind the notion that what your children play with can have a large impact on their interests and brain develop-ment. So when it comes to a walk down the toy aisle, parents are becoming more discerning, leading smart toy-makers to design toys with a learning component thats equally as important as the fun.

VTech, a world leader in age-appropriate and develop-mental stage-based electronic learning products for children, works with a team of child de-velopment experts to assess toys and provide feedback before reaching store shelves.

Th e members of VTechs Ex-pert Panel are off ering some helpful holiday shopping hints to parents looking to foster their childs love of learning:

Add it up: Mathematical foundations provide the build-ing blocks for future mathemati-cal success, both in school and beyond, says Dr. Francis (Skip) Fennell, mathematics educator.

Toys that emphasize num-bers, counting and beginning concepts with whole number operations will develop, support and encourage these crucial con-cepts and skills.

Th e Count & Chomp Dino, for example, introduces children to numbers, colors, shapes and foods.

Age-appropriate: Chil-drens brains are developing at a remarkable speed, says Dr. Lise Eliot, an early childhood development expert. Th eir toys should keep up with that growth.

Keep kids challenged with educational toys that are age-appropriate, so they are never bored or frustrated. Consider child-sized, kid-friendly tablets, such as the InnoTab MAX, that are packed with educational, stage-based learning content.

Full STEAM ahead: Sci-ence, technology, engineering and mathematics (collectively known as STEM) have gained more visibility in schools, along with the addition of arts to form STEAM.

However, says Dr. Car-la C. Johnson, science and STEM expert, It is still crucial to culti-vate skills in these subjects and

implement them in everyday learning. Educational toys can help kids develop self-confi dence in the use and ap-plication of these important disciplines.

Build vocabulary: Chil-dren absorb new informa-tion like sponges. Take ad-vantage of their blossoming interests with interactive toys that highlight letters of the alphabet, the sounds letters make and vocabulary, says Dr. Deborah Sharp Libby, early childhood language and

reading expert. Above all, dont forget the importance of reading to and with your children oft en!

Choose wisely: Dont get carried away with the bells and whistles. You and your kids will quickly look past those. Instead, look for toys that actively engage your kids through technology, by deeply integrating games and learning, says Dr. Eric Klopfer, platform learning expert.

Remember, each child grows at his or her own pace, and there are few hard and fast deadlines when it comes to a childs mile-stones. For a detailed guideline, sorted by age group and area of development, along with other free parenting resources, visit www.vtechkids.com/milestones.

With toys as tools for learn-ing, you can help children as they reach their educational and developmental milestones.

Colorado attorney generals office announces new

safe2tell toolkits colorado Attorney General John

Suthers announced the launch of the Safe2Tell Education Toolkits. Available now for download, the toolkits provide Colorado students with age-appropriate resources to report school-safety concerns and showcase how Safe2Tell can help. Designed specifi cally for adoption by elementary schools and middle/high schools, the two toolkits pro-vide educational resources that help students anonymously report any threatening behavior that endangers them, their friends, family, or com-munity.

We are responding to Colorados education community by rolling out these toolkits that speak directly to students about the necessity of reporting safety concerns and the resources the Safe2Tell program of-fers, said Attorney General Suthers. Last year, 3,178 Safe2Tell reports were responded to by school offi cials and law enforcement to intervene and prevent violence. We hope to in-crease awareness with the launch of these toolkits.

Th e two toolkits include age-appropriate videos; a classroom discussion guide that provides an activity framework; an informa-tion letter for parents/guardians designed to help them eff ectively

advocate for their student; a pledge form that students can sign to con-fi rm their commitment to saferschools and creating a culture of climate that respect and trust, in ad-dition to other items.

Th e new toolkit provides a tan-gible resource to Colorado educa-tors to have a guided conversation with students promoting the mes-sage to students of what to watch for, what to look for, what not to ig-nore, said Susan Payne, Director of Safe2Tell. Th e impact and growth of reports to Safe2Tell has gone up signifi cantly each year and we are inspired every day that young people have the courage to speak up when a friend needs help.Lastyear our highest category of reportswas suicide interventions, followedby bullying and substance abuse.

Safe Schools program allows schools, organizations and commu-nities to emphasize the importanceof safer schools and communities by focusing on issues that have a directeff ect on the safety of our schools. Th e Safe2Tell Education Toolkitrolls out in time for Colorado educa-tors to use it as part of their dialogue on safety. As a result of bi-partisan legislation, Safe2Tell moved to the Colorado Attorney Generals Offi ce aft er the last legislative session.

Encourage Children to Learn More about Science and

Nature at Playtime Have any budding scientists in

your family? If your children are fascinated by nature, dinosaurs and other cool science subjects, you can help foster their interests by turbo charging their playtime to fi t their favorite topics.

Learning is not just for the class-room or a formal setting, says Dr. Lise Eliot, early childhood develop-ment expert and member of VTechs Expert Panel. Teachable moments happen naturally every day, and you can create some of your own, too.

Here are some great educational playtime ideas for your budding pa-leontologists and naturalists:

Dino-mite Makeover: Transform your childs bedroom or play area into a prehistoric retreat with dino clings on the walls, stencils, and dinosaur bedding. Help your child identify the diff erent dinosaurs on each.

Field Trip: Visit the dinosaur exhibit at a local museum. Some museums even have sleepovers where kids can sleep under the di-nosaurs! Or take a trip to the zoo or aquarium. Its the perfect way to expose children to a wide variety of animals that may be new to them.

Bring along a notebook and let kids sketch animals and make scien-tifi c observations about the animals behaviors.

Dinosaur-Th emed Toys: Toys can be so much more than a distrac-tion, says Eliot. Look for toys that

let kids play creatively and engage inimaginative play.

New innovative toys let kids act out prehistoric scenes. For example,Switch & Go Dinos Turbo, fromVTech, a leader in age-appropriateand developmental stage-based electronic learning products forchildren, feature fun and creativity.Th e toys combine dinosaurs and ve-hicles, providing a 2-in-1 imagina-tive and stimulating play experience.

A new dynamic remote control dino, Bronco the RC Triceratops,transforms with the push of a but-ton and gets a turbo boost for a burstof speed. Also check out Digger the Woolly Mammoth, a prehistoricpowerhouse that transforms into an excavator. Kids can press the actionbuttons to hear cool, educational di-nosaur facts and phrases, providing a fun and enriching playtime. More information can be found at www.vtechkids.com/switchandgodinos.

Reading time: Foster a love of reading while encouraging kids natural wonder by visiting your local library and exploring subjects like di-nosaurs, earth science and astronomy.By locating books that pique your kids interests, you can help develop alifetime love of learning.

With a bit of creative parenting,you can maximize playtime, culti-vate interests and encourage learn-ing in one fell swoop.

Resolve to Get HealthierDiets dont work.

According to the Journal of Clinical Psychology, 45 percent of Americans make New Years resolutions each year, and weight-related resolutions top the list. Unfortunately, only about 8 per-cent achieve any type of resolu-tion, weight-related or not.

If youve made (and then bro-ken) the same old weight- or health-oriented resolutions each January, youre not alone. It might be time to focus on research-proven approaches to get health-ier that actually work without gimmicks, diets that eliminate foods, or buying strange foods and equipment.

Start Well: Eat BreakfastStart the day right, and it really

can make things go better all day. Research has repeatedly shown that people who eat breakfast tend to take in more nutrients (cal-cium, iron, protein and fi ber), are more alert and can concentrate better, and may even have better success with weight management.

To get yourself off to a strong start, think about combining pro-tein, carbohydrates and low-fat dairy. Some possibilities: whole grain cereal and a high protein yogurt, an English muffi n with peanut butter, or an egg sandwich with fruit and yogurt.

Eat Rough (age): Make Fiber a Priority

Fiber, found in whole grain wheat, barley, corn and oats, as well as in fruits, vegetables and beans, helps keep things moving eas-ily through the digestive tract. Re-member that grain fi ber has diff er-ent nutritional benefi ts than fruits and vegetables, so you need both.

Fiber is also fi lling, providing volume with few calories because our bodies dont have the enzymes to break it down. But fi ber can be digested and used for fuel by the 10 trillion bacteria that live in the colon and prevent numerous health conditions.

Get Your Facts Straight: If It Sounds Too Good to be True

Losing 10 pounds in two weeks only to regain it in eight makes no sense. Whether youve tried to go gluten-free, low carb or avoid

all white foods, chances are quite high that your eff orts didnt result in long lasting eff ects. What does work? A balanced eating pattern and an active lifestyle.

Th ere is no one perfect diet, and anyone who says otherwise is typically selling a book or prod-ucts promising weight loss. Reg-istered dietitian nutritionists can be trusted to provide credible, evidence-based information that can be tailored to your lifestyle and taste preferences. In addition, eating patterns such as those rec-ommended by the Mediterranean Diet, the DASH Diet (Dietary Ap-proaches to Stop Hypertension) and MyPlate can provide guid-ance on the types of foods to in-clude in your meals.

Move It: Walk, Dance or Ride Your Way to Health

Unless you use it oft en (23 times per week or more), skip the gym membership. Walk outside, walk the dog, dance in your kitch-en, work in the garden or ride your bike to run errands. And, if possible, do it every day with friends for fun, and make it part of your regular lifestyle.

Make It Stick: Schedule and Track Your Progress

Make a schedule of your health goals, and keep track of progress by writing in a food and activity journal or calendar. Write things down; it makes them more likely to happen. Note things like how you feel before and aft er meals and exercise. You may be sur-prised by what you learn.

How to Spot a Fad Diet in 30 Seconds or Less

Fad diets come and go and re-turn again. Here are some obvious clues that a diet is a fad rather than a realistic approach for becoming healthy.

1. Sounds too good or easy to be true

2. Promises rapid weight loss (510 pounds a week) or miracle cures

3. Allows only certain foods or food groups (cutting out others)

4. Promotes a product, special herb, vitamin or other compound

5. Can only be followed tem-

porarily but is not supervised by adoctor

6. Hard to imagine or diffi cultto follow the diet forever

7. Doesnt recommend a formof exercise or says that its unnec-essary

8. Warns that one food or food group will make you seriously ill or worse

9. Makes recommendationsbased on pseudo-science not en-dorsed by credible organizations or peer reviewed by other scientists

10. Cites research that is pre-liminary, based on animals, has very few subjects, or uses poormethodology

Th e bottom line: Eat when youare hungry, strive for moderation and move more to feel good.

Tips to Trim Mindless CaloriesEat mindfullyPut all of your attention on the

food and nowhere else.Eat for hungerMake sure you are eating be-

cause you are hungry and not for other reasons.

Eat slowlyYoull stop eating sooner and

register that youve had enough.Eat without guiltConsider whether the food

is an everyday food or some-times food and eat accordingly,enjoying every bite

Reduce your carbon footprint this holiday season

Th e holiday season is typically one when everything is done bigger and better. Excess may run supreme, and for those who are concerned about how their actions impact the environment, such excess can clash with their ideals.

Th e following are some eff ects the holidays can have on the en-vironment and changes anyone can make to still enjoy the fes-tivities and help the planet at the same time.

Trash: From gift wrap to cards to disposable decorations, trash has a way of piling up dur-ing the holiday season. Accord-ing to Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Ameri-cans generate 25 percent more waste per week between Th anks-giving and New Years Day than during the rest of the year. Th is creates an additional 1.2 million tons of trash per week, or an ex-tra six million tons throughout the holiday season. Cutting back on trash is one of the easiest steps a person can take to reduce his or her environmental impact. Purchase cards or paper made from recycled, post-consumer content and printed with non-toxic inks. Choose postcards that do not need a separate envelope

for mailing. Use reusable deco-rations, dinnerware, boxes, and bags to prevent extra garbage from ending up in landfi lls. Bring your own fabric shopping bags to use in place of plastic bags and, when prompted, choose to have your receipts emailed instead of printed to further reduce paper consumption.

Food: Lavish meals are cen-tral components of holiday gath-erings. Left over food produces waste, so purchasing too much food or selecting products that were not locally produced can negatively aff ect the environ-ment. Shipping food over long distances requires use of fuel and other natural resources. In some instances, products shipped from other countries may harbor parasites or insects not native to this country, and such unwanted guests can prove harmful to local ecosystems.

To meet the extraordinary supply demands of the holiday

season, food suppliers may beef up livestock and produce with artifi cial hormones, fertilizers and pesticides, all of which are detrimental to the environment. Shop wisely this time of year and only buy what you need, rather than cooking to impress. Choose locally grown or organic foods and in-season produce instead of exotic, imported fare. Promptly package and freeze left overs so they can be enjoyed again.

Decorating: Its tempting to purchase ready-made, plastic imported holiday decorations. But these objects are not always the most sustainable options, and there are plenty of decorative items that have less impact on the planet. LED holiday lights, for example, use 90 percent less energy than traditional incan-descent lights and can last up to 100,000 hours. Only keep lights on when youre home and awake to save energy. Instead of pur-chasing new ornaments, make your own or host an ornament swap with friends. Create your own wreaths and centerpieces from natural materials found around the yard. Soy candles do not emit unsafe hydrocarbons and produce less soot than par-affi n wax candles.

Travel: Travel is a large component of the holidays, as friends and family members criss-cross the globe to spend the season together. Accord-ing to Green Choices, aviation accounts for 75 percent of the travel industrys greenhouse gas emissions, followed by road transport (32 percent). Look for the most cost- and eco-eff ective method of travel to reduce your carbon footprint. If you will be away from home or the of-fi ce for long periods of time, remember to set your thermo-stat to a lower temperature or program the vacation setting on your programmable ther-mostat. You also can turn down your water heaters to conserve energy.

It is possible to enjoy the holi-days and protect the planet at the same time. A few easy changes are all it takes to reduce your carbon footprint this holiday season.

Scrumptious stir-fry for the family Stir-fry is a dish many people, adults and kids

alike, seem to love. Th at popularity is perhaps because no two stir-fry dishes ever seem to be the same or because stir-fry dishes encourage cooks to take chances with ingredients.

Th ose who want to experiment with a tried and true stir-fry success might want to try Michelle Dudashs recipe for Orange Peel Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry With Brown Rice from her book, Clean Eating for Busy Families (Fair Winds Press).

Orange Peel Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry With Brown Rice

Serves 4For Sauce:2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons rice vinegar1 tablespoon cornstarch2 teaspoons honey1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1/4 teaspoon Chinese 5-spice powder (or

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon each ground fennel and cloves)

1 tablespoon dark sesame oilFor Stir-Fry:51/2 cups bite-size broccoli fl orets1 tablespoon minced garlic1 tablespoon minced ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon

ground ginger)1/8 teaspoon salt1 pound fl ank or fl at iron steak, or top sirloin,

thinly sliced against the grain in 11/2-inch pieces1 tablespoon expeller-pressed grapeseed or

canola oil1 orange, 2 teaspoons grated zest, inner

segments sliced2 teaspoons sesame seeds3 cups cooked brown riceTo make the sauce: Stir together all of the

sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.To make the stir-fry: Heat a large frying pan

or wok over high heat, add 1 cup of water and

bring to a boil. Add broccoli, reduce heat to a low boil and cover with a lid or piece of foil, leaving a gap for steam to escape. Steam for 5 minutes until almost fork-tender. Move broccoli to a plate, reserving cooking water in another container.

In a medium bowl, sprinkle garlic, ginger and salt evenly over the beef. Scrape the pan clean, place it on high heat and add the oil. When the oil is shimmering, add the beef in an even layer and cook for 2 minutes undisturbed until brown. Toss with a wooden spoon to break up the pieces, reducing heat to medium-high as needed. Add orange zest and sesame seeds and cook until beef is done, another 2 minutes. Swirl in the sauce, add broccoli and stir-fry to reheat. Add a splash of reserved broccoli water if mixture seems too dry. Serve hot and garnish with orange segments.

Sweet staple of Thanksgiving Th anksgiving is a day to

gather with family and friends and give thanks for all we have. But Th anksgiving is also known as a time to chow down. Many families sit down to a meal of turkey and various side dishes on Th anksgiving, indulging in a hearty meal before relaxing on the couch to sneak in an af-ternoon nap and watch some football.

Sweet potatoes are a staple of many families Th anksgiving dinner tables, and diff erent cooks have their own special sweet po-tato recipes. Th ose trusted with hosting this Th anksgiving who dont have their own unique take on sweet potatoes might want to consider the following recipe for Herb-Roasted Garnet Sweet Potatoes from Jill Lightners Edible Seattle: Th e Cookbook (Sterling Epicure).

Herb-Roasted Garnet Sweet Potatoes

Serves 43 tablespoons extra-virgin

olive oil1 teaspoon fresh thyme

leaves, minced1 teaspoon minced fresh sage1 teaspoon minced fresh

oregano3 medium garnet sweet po-

tatoes, peeled and cut into

1/4-inch diceKosher salt1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.

Spray a large roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the olive oil and herbs. Add the sweet potato dice to the mix-ture, and use your fi ngers to coat them well. Season with salt to taste.

2. Transfer the mixture to the prepared roasting pan. Bake

for 45 to 60 minutes, until your desired consistency is reached, whether you want them a bit fi rm or fork-tender.

Edible Tip: A good alternate variety to Garnets are Red Jew-els, which are easy to come by at both farmers markets and local grocers. Look for a deep, bright color, and be sure to cook them fairly quickly aft er purchase. Un-like potatoes, sweet potatoes do not store very well. PC14B688

Slow cook a turkey for a tasty Thanksgiving feast

Turkey is a succulent staple of Th anksgiving. Th ough it can be enjoyed year-round, turkey is most popular on Th anksgiving, when families and friends gather for large feasts.

Cooking a turkey can be daunt-ing, especially for those people cooking their fi rst bird. But slow cooking a turkey can make the process a lot easier and help to guarantee that each part of the bird is evenly cooked when it comes time to remove it from the oven. Th ose who want to try their hand at slow-cooking this years Th anks-giving feast can try the following recipe for Holiday Turkey from Andrew Schloss Cooking Slow (Chronicle Books).

Holiday TurkeyMakes 15 servings1 fresh turkey, about 15

pounds, preferably free-range1 tablespoon olive oil1 quart apple cider2 teaspoons dried poultry sea-

soningCoarse sea salt and freshly

ground black pepperRemove the giblets from the

turkey and discard (or save for another use). Rinse the turkey inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Rub it all over with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, un-covered, for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. During that time, the surface of the turkey will be-come visibly dry and the skin will tighten; this encourages a nice crisp skin on the fi nished bird.

Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before you plan to start roasting. Preheat the oven to 450 F.

Put the turkey on a rack set in a large, fl ameproof roasting pan. Drizzle the oil over the top.

Roast for 1 hour. Reduce the oven temperature to 175 F. Pour the cider into the roasting pan and sprinkle the poultry seasoning in the liquid. Con-tinue roasting until an instant-read thermometer insertedinto the thickest part of a thigh(but not touching bone) regis-ters to 170 F.

Transfer the turkey to a carv-ing board, tent loosely with alu-minum foil, and let rest for about15 minutes (see tip). Meanwhile,skim the fat from the surfaceof the liquid in the pan. Put theroasting pan over two burners

and bring the pan drippings to aboil over high heat. Cook until the juices reduce and thicken slightly,enough to coat a spoon, about10 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Carve the turkey and serve with cider pan juices.

Resting tip: Slow-roastedmeats need far less resting time (pretty much none) than thosethat are traditionally roasted.Th e reason for resting meat that has been roasted at a high tem-perature is to allow juices that have collected in the cooler cen-ter time to migrate back into the dryer (hotter) exterior sectionsaft er it comes out of the oven.Because slow-roasted meats are cooked evenly and a temperature that keeps most of the juices inplace, a resting period is largely unnecessary. A brief resting time does allow the meat to become a little fi rmer as it cools, making it easier to carve.

Hotel staffer reveals Russian President Vladimir Putins paranoia during the G20

An employee of the Hilton Hotel has spoken about serving Vladimir Putin

Th e Brisbane hotel housed Mr Putin and his delega-tion across two days

Worker said Mr Putin would have his food tested for poison before serving

He also said Russian leader always planned to leave on Sunday aft ernoon

It comes as speculation mounted over why Mr Putin had left Australia early

During his whirlwind stay at Brisbanes Hilton hotel for the G20 Summit, Mr Putin had his food tested before he ate it just in case it was poisoned and was oft en fl anked by a mob of secu-rity offi cers.

An unnamed employee of the hotel in the citys CBD has lift ed the lid on the tight secu-rity measures and the demands of one of its most powerful guests.

Th e worker told news.com.au the hotel usually had to step up its game a heck of a lot to meet the standards required by a high-profi le guest, which in-

cluded musicians and athletes.Th e hotel, which is located

across the river from the South Bank location of the Brisbane Convention Centre where most of the talks were held, also had guests from Mexico and Mauri-tania during the two-day sum-mit.

But it was the Russian strongmans entourage that took up 75 per cent of the rooms in the hotel.

Like other countries leaders, Mr Putin had travelled to Bris-bane with his own bodyguards and had added protection with undercover police offi cers pa-trolling not only the outside of the hotel but staying inside as well.

Th e employee said it was all hands on deck 24 hours a day during the weekend, including the kitchen which was respon-sible for cooking up food for

Mr Putin and members of his delegation who opted to dine-in.

Th is was the case with most leaders unless they had offi cial engagements to attend.

We prepared it in our kitch-en and it was taken up to him [Mr Putin] in the restaurant or wherever he was dining and it was tasted by someone fi rst to ensure that it wasnt poisoned or anything along those lines and then it was plated up and served, he said.

Th e employee also put an end to speculation as to why Mr Putin had left the summit earlier than expected, saying his Sunday aft ernoon depar-ture had always been planned.

But Mr Putins demands are not the fi rst outrageous ones to emerge.

Leading up to the summit, which ran from Saturday to Sunday, it was revealed Barack Obamas delegation made a re-quest to have a major round-about in Brisbane demolished.

Th e roundabout is lo-cated near the University of Queensland - in the citys west-ern suburbs - where Mr Obama

gave an address to a packed room.

Th e reason given for the request was so his enormous presidential car, known as Th e

Beast, did not have to slow down but it was rejected by Queensland authorities, Th e Australian reported.

Staff members at the Hil-ton hotel where the President stayed during the G20 summit have told news.com.au about the extreme security measures and intense preparation that goes into every move the Presi-dent makes.

We put a lot of eff ort in for all of our guests but when you have someone high profi le, a singer or a racing car driver, a lot more work goes into those types of people because they have a lot more requirements. To look aft er people of this cali-bre you have to step your game up a heck of a lot, the staff member said.

Th e Hilton played host to delegates from Mexico and Mauritania as well but it was the Russian delegation that demanded the most attention, taking up three quarters of the available rooms with some staff having to bunk together due to the sheer number of them.

It was more just the size of it really, to move 319 people into a hotel in a matter of hours and then one day you have to move 319 back out, thats really what it comes down to, he said.

With the roads shut down as they were it didnt make things easier for anyone. It was more just the logistics of the whole situation.

Th e hotel had all stations manned 24 hours a day, with staff on hand to prepare food for the ex-KGB Russian strong-man and his entourage.

We prepared it in our kitch-en and it was taken up to him in the restaurant or wherever he was dining and it was tasted by someone fi rst to ensure that it wasnt poisoned or anything along those lines and then it was plated up and served, the staff member said.

Th ose hoping for a glimpse in the hotel restaurant were disappointed as all of the lead-ers in the hotel opted to dine in their rooms or out at the offi cial events.

Each of the countries also

brought their own security de-tail, with police staying in the hotel and undercovers hang-ing around out the front.

When it comes to it, allthese countries have their se-curity and they dont want us getting involved with it, the staff er said.

Putin would have had prob-ably four or fi ve people withhim at most times, otherwisehes always got a main guy that stays with him all the time. It wasnt that excessive.

Despite much-speculationhe left the event early due to international pressure, staff members said the mid-aft er-noon departure had been on the agenda the entire time.

We were never told times but we were always told it wasmid-aft ernoon.

During the stay workerswere warned not to disclose any details to family or friends.

Our policy is not to talk about any guests, with them itwas exactly the same. No social media, no telling family, no tell-ing friends. It was hotel policy but it was also to know who was staying where. None of the Presidents wanted any informa-tion out there as to where they were staying, the staff er said.

But despite the massiveheadache the operation in-volved, the worker said he would take the world leadersany day, with the only oth-er unusual request the largemake-up mirror bought by the Mexican First Lady Angelica Rivera.

Th ey were easy mainte-nance. We have more trouble with sporting teams than they did with these guests, the staff member said.

3Object 2014-28E Space junk or Russian satellite killer?

Sam JonesIt is a tale that could have

come from the cold war. A mys-terious object launched by the Russian military is being tracked by western space agencies, stok-ing fears over the revival of a de-funct Kremlin project to destroy satellites.

For the past few weeks, ama-teur astronomers and satellite-trackers in Russia and the west have followed the unusual ma-neuvers of Object 2014-28E, watching it guide itself towards other Russian space objects. Th e pattern appeared to culminate last weekend in a rendezvous with the remains of the rocket stage that launched it.

Th e object had originally been classed as space debris, propelled into orbit as part of a Russian rocket launch in May to add three Rodnik communications satellites to an existing military constellation. Th e US military is now tracking it under the Norad designation 39765.

Its purpose is unknown, and could be civilian: a project to hoover up space junk, for ex-ample. Or a vehicle to repair or refuel existing satellites. But in-terest has been piqued because Russia did not declare its launch and by the objects peculiar, and very active, precision move-ments across the skies.

Russia offi cially mothballed its anti-satellite weaponry pro-gram Istrebitel Sputnikov or satellite killer aft er the fall of the iron curtain, though its ex-pertise has not entirely disap-peared. Indeed, military offi cials have publicly stated in the past that they would restart research in the event of a deterioration in relations with the US over anti-missile defense treaties. In 2010, Oleg Ostapenko, commander of Russias space forces, and now head of its space agency, said Russia was again developing

inspection and strike satel-lites.

Moscows ministry of defense did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Whatever it is, [Object 2014-28E] looks experimental, said Patricia Lewis, research director at think-tank Chatham House and an expert in space security. It could have a number of func-tions, some civilian and some military. One possibility is for some kind of grabber bar. An-other would be kinetic pellets which shoot out at another satel-lite. Or possibly there could be a satellite-to-satellite cyber attack or jamming.

In a week when the European Space Agencys Rosetta space-craft landed a probe on a comet, the peregrinations of 2014-28E could seem insignifi cant, but they highlight an area of grow-ing if so far little publicized concern for defense strategists: the weaponisation of space.

Having the ability to destroy or degrade an opponents satel-lite communications has been regarded as a powerful military capability since the space race began but, aft er the collapse of the iron curtain, many of the se-cret research projects Soviet and US engineers were working on were quietly shelved. In the past few years, however, interest in space weapons has revived.

It would be odd if space were to remain the one area that [mili-taries] dont get their hands on, says Ms. Lewis. Cyber attacks on satellites are already a reality, she points out: last week, hack-ers linked to the Chinese gov-ernment infi ltrated US federal weather satellites.

Russia has in the past been at the forefront of eff orts to try to secure an international treaty to prevent weapons being deployed in space, but its eff orts have fall-en on stony ground.

Amid rapid advances by other foreign powers, and the recent deterioration in relations between Moscow and the west, plans to revive the IS program would make strategic sense, said one Russian military expert.

As far back as 2007, the Chi-nese showed they had the abil-ity to shoot down satellites with rockets and in 2008 the US dem-onstrated it had the same capa-bility.

More recently, in May this year, a Chinese satellite known as Shijian 15 began to exhibit un-usual propulsion capabilities and eventually intercepted another Chinese satellite, Shijian 7.

Th e experiment was linked to the possible use of a remote capture arm and close proxim-ity operations, said Max White, a member of the Kettering group of astronomers, which made a name for itself in the 1960s by pinpointing the location of So-viet spy satellite launches. Both can have peaceful as well as mili-tary nuances, with the former for refuelling in space, and the latter for disabling an active payload belonging to a foreign nation, potentially without causing a de-bris cloud.

Whether the Russians feel they need to demonstrate such capability is a matter for debate, Mr White added. He, too, has been following the activities of object 2014-28E.

In a signal of international sensitivities over the prospect of anti-satellite technologies be-ing rapidly developed, a Chinese missile test this year drew an unusually fi ery response from the Pentagon. US authorities said they had high confi dence that a July launch was a test for a ground-based weapon to strike a satellite, accusing the Chinese of destabilizing actions. Chinas test was later also condemned by the EU.

Modern slavery affects more than 35 million people

More than 35 million people around the world are trapped in a modern form of slavery, according to a report highlighting the prevalence of forced labor, human trafficking, forced marriages, debt bondage and commercial sexual ex-ploitation.

The Walk Free Founda-tion (WFF), an Australia-based NGO that publishes the annual global slavery index, said that as a result of better data and improved methodology it had in-creased its estimate 23% in the past year.

Five countries accounted for 61% of slavery, although it was found in all 167 coun-tries , including the UK.

India was top of the list with about 14.29 million enslaved people, followed by China with 3.24 million, Pakistan 2.06 million, Uz-bekistan 1.2 million, and Russia 1.05 million.

Mauritania had the high-est proportion of its popu-lation in modern slavery, at 4%, followed by Uzbekistan with 3.97%, Haiti 2.3%, Qa-tar 1.36% and India 1.14%.

Andrew Forrest, the chairman and founder of WFF which is campaign-ing for the end of slavery within a generation said: There is an assumption that slavery is an issue from a bygone era. Or that it only exists in countries ravaged by war and poverty.

These findings show that modern slavery ex-ists in every country. We are all responsible for the most appalling situations where modern slavery exists and the desperate misery it brings upon our fellow hu-man beings.

The first step in eradi-cating slavery is to measure it. And with that critical in-formation, we must all come together governments, businesses and civil society

to finally bring an end tothe most severe form of ex-ploitation.

Countries identified as leading the fight to endmodern slavery includeAustralia, Austria, Georgia, Ireland, the Netherlands,Norway, Sweden, Switzer-land, the UK and the US.Only Australia, Brazil and the US, however, were mak-ing efforts to address the is-sue in government procure-ment and the supply chainsof businesses operating inthere.

Modern slavery is a livepolitical issue in the UK,

with a bill on the issue mov-ing through parliament andDavid Cameron highlight-ing it in his speech to the Conservative party confer-ence this year.

But theres still more injustice when it comes towork, and its even moreshocking. Criminal gangs trafficking people halfway around the world and mak-ing them work in the mostdisgusting conditions,Cameron said.

Ive been to see thesehouses on terraced streets built for families of four,cramming in 15 people like animals. To those crimelords who think they can get away with it, I say no, not in this country, not with thisparty With our modernslavery bill were coming af-ter you and were going toput a stop to it once and for all.

Olly Buston, WFFs move-ment director, said: Thereis still a chance that themodern slavery bill will make Britains anti-slavery laws the best in the world.But the draft bill must be strengthened. Children andother victims of slavery need to be properly protect-ed. And the bill must ensure that businesses take actionto end slavery in their sup-ply chains.
