Bioenergy - the leading renewable energy source
In 2014, renewable energy accounted for 14% of the world's global total primary energy supply, according to the International Energy Agency. Solid biofuels represented the largest share of this, amounting to 44.5% in the EU. These are any renewable, biological material used as fuel such as wood, sawdust, leaves, and even dried animal dung, but the majority of biofuels are derived from wood. The use of wood as a fuel for cooking, heating, and other applications dates back to when Neanderthals learned how to start a fire. Today biomass is still the primary fuel for domestic use in many developing countries and it is also the leading renewable energy source in the UNECE region.
Biofuels create less environmental impact than fossil fuels like coal although they contain less energy per unit of weight. New technologies and improved quality of fuel virtually eliminate any concern about particle emissions during combustion. For this reason, biomass-derived energy is attracting renewed interest and is expected to increase rapidly as a source of energy. According to Mr. Adrian Whiteman of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), "SDG 7 on affordable and clean energy, as well as the COP21 agreement on climate change mitigation and the EU Renewable Energy Targets, imply a more important role for biomass energy."
However, data on primary production and gross consumption of biomass and renewable by-products is not so easily collected and often underestimate the role of this renewable energy source. What is the energy content of wood biomass? Does this depend on the moisture contained in the fuel? What is the source of biomass? Many countries lack adequate data. In addition, often production data do not match consumption estimates coming from household surveys. To address these issues UNECE and FAO, jointly with IRENA, organized a capacity building workshop on information on bioenergy from the forest sector in Budapest from 6-8 December. The aim of the workshop was to improve renewable energy statistics and analysis by comparing national experiences and hearing about best practices. Ms. Milka Mumovic of the Energy Community called during the workshop for estimates based on consumption surveys to obtain more realistic figures on production of energy from solid biofuels. For example, since 2005 many countries have been revising estimates of bioenergy from wood, showing consumption figures much higher - up to five times previous values.
The UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section is currently collecting information on wood energy sources and uses from all its member states to increase knowledge of the sector. This information will be publicly available in spring 2017. Similarly, IRENA is currently collecting renewable energy data (including bioenergy data) for all countries in the world, which will be published in June 2017.

Cambridge United loanee Josh Coulson wants to stay at Leyton Orient past January
PUBLISHED: 15:32 19 December 2017
07958 573219 firstname.lastname@example.com
The 28-year-old was delighted to mark his return from injury with a goal at Haringey Borough
Josh Coulson believes he owes it to Leyton Orient and their fans to remain at the Brisbane Road club beyond January, but concedes nothing has been decided yet.
The Cambridge United loanee has not needed long to become a firm favourite with the O's supporters despite sitting on the sidelines for close to three months with a groin injury.
Coulson returned for Orient's FA Trophy clash at Haringey Borough on Saturday and scored with his last touch of the game to equalise in the 58th minute before he was replaced by Dan Happe seconds later.
The 28-year-old looked at his assured best during his first start since September 23 and will no doubt be a big player for the east Londoners between now and January 28 – when his six-month loan from the U's expires.
But what happens after for him and Orient? Coulson said: "The loan move was for me to get fit because I needed to get fit as no one was going to permanently sign an unfit player.
"I'm fit now, so hopefully I can start playing a few more games again and then we'll see what happens in January.
"I love being at Leyton Orient and I feel I owe the fans and the club because I've been out injured for too long, so I want to stay here, but we'll see what happens."
Head coach Justin Edinburgh confirmed on Saturday he was also keen to sign Coulson on a permanent deal and everything points towards the U's defender staying at Brisbane Road.
After opening his account for Orient on Saturday, you imagine the centre back is eager to be among the goals on a more regular basis and also help the club start keeping clean sheets.
With Coulson fit at the start of the season, O's defence looked more solid and losing both him and George Elokobi at the same time was a bitter pill to swallow.
Fortunately the injury woes for the one-time Cambridge City youngster seem to be behind him now after completing 60 minutes at Coles Park last weekend.
Coulson added: "It has been a long few months, so it was good to be back out there with the boys.
"I wasn't on for Matt Harrold's winning goal, but my last touch of the game was a goal, so I can't complain too much!
"The plan was always for me to play 60 minutes. I probably could have gone on, but Ketan (Patel) the physio said to do an hour. I've come through it unscathed, so it was all good."
As mentioned, Coulson managed to score with his last touch against Haringey and the defender admitted he knew he was about to come off when Jobi McAnuff swung the corner in.
He added: "I did see Happe getting his kit on and I thought I must be going off in a minute, but it was pot luck.
"The ball fell to me at the back post and I've put it back across goal and fortunately it has gone in."

Lit Terms - An Out of Print collaboration with Mike Joyce
We're big fans of literary terms and devices. Not only are they the root mechanics to a great love of ours (writing and storytelling), the terms as words alone are super cool: malapropism, portmanteau, zeugma to name a few. Sadly, these terms don't get the broad attention we feel they deserve. We would like to change that.
Introducing our Lit Terms collection, an Out of Print collaboration with graphic designer, Mike Joyce. Mike is well-known for his acclaimed swissted project that "redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, new wave, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters." We saw his work and thought it was just the style we wanted for some of our favorite terms.
Here's Mike describing his thought process:
"This new line of t-shirts for Out of Print Clothing is inspired by my love of Swiss graphic design—more specifically the International Typographic Style. I always appreciated how the Swiss modernists purged extraneous decoration to create clear communication and thought that design philosophy would pair well with various literary devices. Many of the original Swiss Style posters from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s were abstract representations of their subject matter. Using shape, structure, scale, color, and typography, the design would evoke a certain feeling and specific message to it's audience. These four designs based off of literary terms follow that same philosophy."
Literary terms have been hidden away in textbooks and on school room chalk boards long enough. The time is now for them to step out into the light and onto your shirt.

Today I have something very special to share with you, a book review of Creative Quilt Challenges: Take the Challenge to Discover Your Style & Improve Your Design Skills by Pat Pease and Wendy Hill.
Wendy asked me to participate in her blog hop to promote her book and well, I jumped at the chance to meet her. She has embraced me and has become such an important friend and mentor for me in the quilt industry. I'm grateful for her words of wisdom and her tolerance of my many questions. I can't wait to meet her in person in Utah for spring quilt market.
But you all want to hear about her lovely new book...
This book will spark your creativity when you take the 7 quilt challenges in this book. Both Wendy and Pat make a quilt of each challenge, resulting in 14 quilts. Each of their quilts comes with instructions to make one of theirs or take back your freedom to make one of your very own. They provide you with so much inspiration and ideas for you to gain the confidence to develop your own quilt. This book is all about pushing your creativity to develop your own style.
Throughout the entire book, there tips and tricks, plus a techniques chapter in the back to provide you with all the necessary instruction to make your quilt with ease.
The writing, photos, and illustrations are clear and concise. What are you waiting for? Go grab yourself a copy. Available at www.ctpub.com and Amazon.
Meanwhile, if you want some more inspiration, I have a book too, called Scrap Patchwork. You can pick up both books at www.ctpub.com, Amazon, or your local quilt shop.

Cookies and pies and ham and stuffing. Cocktails and wine and even more cocktails. If this is how your holiday sounded, you're certainly not alone. The last couple months brought the types of indulgences we all love and enjoy, but we also know we can't eat and drink like that on a regular basis and continue to look and feel healthy. January is always rife with promise for the new year, but we believe taking things one day at a time always brings more success in the end. Two weeks ago, we delivered some expert advice from our favorite fitness trainer and guru Will Torres on how to get fit in 2014. But we all know it takes two to tango – exercise AND healthy eating are a packaged deal. So we found three delicious recipes to help you detox from the holidays. We promise they are easy to make and taste awesome too.
Orange-Date Muesli with Coconut and Cacao Nibs
From Bon Appétit
2 teaspoons unsweetened flaked organic coconut
1/2 orange, peeled and chopped (about ½ cup)
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (squeezed from second half of orange)
1 Medjool date, pitted, finely chopped
1/2 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon cacao nibs
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Spread out coconut on a small rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
2. Stir together chopped orange, orange juice, date, yogurt and oats. Cover and chill overnight. Just before serving, top with cacao nibs and toasted coconut.
Saffron-Scented Vegetable Couscous with North African-Spiced Halibut
From Food52
1/3 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, presed or minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 pound halibut
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 bulb fennel, trimmed and cut into bite-sized wedges
1/2 small cauliflower, cored and broken into bite-sized florets
2 cups Israeli couscous (also called pearl couscous)
1 pinch saffron
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup green olives, quartered
1 handful parsley, roughly chopped
1 handful cilantro, roughly chopped
1 lemon, cut in wedges
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Assemble the halibut marinade: in a bowl large enough to accommodate the halibut, mix together the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and spices. Taste, adding more salt if desired. Add the halibut, spooning the marinade over the top. Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (the marinade has citrus, so you don't want to over-marinate for fear of mushy fish).
3.When the fish has marinated, transfer it into a baking dish. Scrape out any remaining spice paste from the marinade dish and spread thickly on top of the fillets. Bake until the fish is done and flakes easily, 25-30 minutes.
4. While the halibut is baking, prepare the vegetable couscous. Heat a large pot over a high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then add the fennel and cauliflower. Sprinkle with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to caramelize and develop light brown spots. Add a few tablespoons water and cover to steam, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender (2-5 minutes). Remove from pot and place in a large serving bowl.
5. In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Add the couscous and cook, stirring occasionally, until the couscous toasts and darkens slightly (just a couple minutes). Add 2 1/2 cups water, crumble in the saffron and add the salt. Bring to a boil, cover and lower the heat just enough to maintain a simmer. Cook until the water is absorbed and the couscous is tender, about 10 minutes.
6. While the couscous is cooking, assemble the remaining ingredients. Add the olives, parsley and cilantro to the serving dish with the cooked cauliflower and fennel. When the couscous is done, tip it into the bowl with the herbs and vegetables and toss well. Scoop the couscous onto plates and top with the marinated halibut. Serve with lemon wedges.
Turkey Pho
From Food52
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
4 whole cloves
4 whole star anise
1 cinnamon stick
1 quart homemade turkey stock (or homemade or store-bought chicken stock)
1 bunch green onions (green top parts only) chopped
1 3-inch chunk of ginger, sliced and smashed with side of knife
1 teaspoon brown sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon fish sauce, or more to taste
1-2 cup kale, chopped into bite-sized pieces
1/2 pound cooked turkey breast, shredded
1 bunch (approx. 2 oz.) cellophane/bean thread noodles (or enough flat dried rice noodles to serve 2)
1-2 tablespoon cilantro, chopped- for garnish (optional)
1-2 tablespoon chopped green onions (white parts only), minced- for garnish (optional)
1/2 lime, cut into wedges
Sriracha chili sauce to taste
1. To toast the spices, heat a cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the coriander seeds, cloves, star anise and cinnamon stick and toast until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Immediately spoon out the spices into a bowl to avoid burning them and set aside.
2. In a large pot, add the toasted spices and all ingredients from stock through fish sauce and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let simmer for 20 minutes, skimming the surface frequently.
4. Taste the broth and add more sugar or fish sauce, if needed. Strain the broth and discard the solids. Add the kale and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Add the shredded turkey and cellophane noodles. Allow to sit for a few minutes while the noodles soften.
6. Ladle the broth into bowls. Divide the kale, shredded turkey and the noodles evenly into each bowl.
7. Sprinkle on the garnishes and add sriracha to taste. Squeeze lime juice to taste over the top of your bowl before eating.

"...I have purchased your peonies in the past. Exceptional!..." (Evington, Virginia)
"...what great stock!!! I can't tell you how I felt opening the package with the two peonies inside. It was such a shock to see such healthy stock. I was so fearful of ordering bare rooted stock, but ordering from your company my faith is restored. i have placed them in holes I have prepared especially for them and have no doubt that they'll meet expectations. With others I have ordered this year from other places, I have been sorely disappointed. Live and learn!" (Sunderland MA)
"...Thank you so much for the very prompt shipment of my peony. It arrived in beautiful condition - what amazing roots! I really appreciate your special consideration." (Mt Pleasant IA)
"...I'd like to thank you for the impressive size of the plants I received. This being my first year gardening, I ordered from three other nurseries that claimed to have better peonies. I got all the other shipments before your's and I didn't know better until I saw your plants. WOW! I am so looking forward to the spring!" (N. Cotton IL)
"...I was totally astounded when I removed them from the box and wrappings. I have received peonies in the mail before, and also received plants from friends, but I have never seen a root that huge and that many eyes on anything I have received in the past. Apparently the Hollingsworths and Missouri grow terrific peonies. Thanks again, for talking me into giving them a try this fall. I am sure that I will have some beautiful plants come spring." (G. McCowan WA)
"...I just received my two peony roots for this year, and thank you for sending such healthy, well-packed specimens. The three peonies I ordered from you last year all bloomed the first year, which was, frankly, amazing to me. And I look forward to similar good results next spring. I doubt any other company will get my peony business again." (V. Steele NC)
"...My plants arrived yesterday, they are extra fine this year! Thank you so much for the literature from the peony bulletins also. Very helpful. Looking forward to the wholesale order. Thanks again for such great plants." (C. Rascoe LA)
"...The peonies you sent to us were beautiful, very vigorous and free of black rot, which had plagued us here for many years. In my experience, you really do set the standard for quality! And Garden Treasure really is the best!!! Thanks so much." (Don Avery VT)

Throwback Thursday: A Winter With You11/17/2016
Photos by Bryn De Kocks
I see your pain, lover, I see you cannot speak. When you try to breathe, lover, I see your muscles creak.
Heavy is the head that discards halos. Heavy is the burden on your back. Heavy are your secrets, lover. I slowly watch you crack.
Softy stroke my arm now. Grab my wrist on repeat. He's hiding his tears but still bleeding on the sheets.
Where to go from here, lover? I know just what you'll do. Find fresh eyes to cast aside when they get to see, too.

That as may be, as HuangWeidong & Crocodileman failed to respond to the Opposition, the mark is cancelled.

Bliss Russo is the designer and owner of a greeting card company that she started with her sister, Hallsnark Cards. Right now, Bliss is a finalist in a competition which could make Hallsnark Cards, if she can just finish her final designs in time and win it. But it seems like the fates are against Bliss as a fire starts in her apartment and she loses everything. The only good thing is the hunky fireman who rescued her and then went back in to get her laptop.
Drake Cameron is a fireman who knows all about hot things and taking risks. After all he is one of the few dragons left in existence and he is living right along side with humans. The night that Drake rescued an up and coming greeting card designer, she grabs is total attention. Her defiance and general feistiness leads Drake to once again break the rules to help her out.
Bliss can't get the sexy fireman out of her mind and goes to thank him, only to find out he got in trouble for helping her out. Drake is torn because his body really wants to get to know Bliss better and see if their instant attraction could go anywhere, but he knows that he really should find a female dragon to mate with. Heart and head battle until yet another fire brings Drake and Bliss back together. Bliss can't believe that yet another fire has threatened her designs and life. Drake tried doing what his head said with bad results. Now, he is going to follow his heart and go forward with a relationship with Bliss. Suddenly it seems like bad things happening surround them. Drake's bad date has decided to take out the competition and Bliss is on the menu, but is that the only one threatening their future together?
One hot fire brings an even hotter passion into flame when a dragon meets his mate for the first time in How to Date a Dragon. First off, I have to state that I absolutely love Bliss and Drake together and their rollercoaster beginning. The many mishaps that happened to Bliss and Drake, both together and individually, had me laughing in several places. While I could see why Drake tried to find another dragon to mate with, I could see that Bliss was the one for him. Bliss gave me a guide on the determination needed to reach a goal as I watched as her worked on finishing her designs and fulfilled the other things necessary to hopefully win the contest, but with the fires, her new boyfriend and her family being anything but a Rockwell family, it wasn't always an easy task. I was really surprised by the group that came to Drake and Bliss's assistance. I found that a total left turn but a wonderful addition to the story. Once all the danger was over, I was yet again impressed by the last decisions that Drake and Bliss made when offered what seemed like a dream future and who made it. Bliss and Drake knew what they wanted in their future and how they wanted it for sure. I really hated when I ran out of pages in the book.

Ex-college player: Removing helmets from NFL won't stop concussions
Having gotten my "bell rung" many times in my youth, I was taken aback by a recent article in The Wall Street Journal suggesting it may be time to retire the football helmet as we know it. Leagues overseas have been trying this as a way to -- this may sound counterintuitive -- reduce concussions and other injuries. But I don't see playing helmet-less as a solution for the National Football League (NFL).
As far as my story goes, I was a scrappy player in high school, playing hard and eventually working my way onto a small college team (Division III). Perhaps that's why I received my first concussion back when I was a sophomore in high school.
Did you know that once you have a concussion it's easier to sustain other concussions? I did not. But I was lucky that I was knocked out cold on the field and sent to the hospital. If I hadn't been knocked out, I would have gotten up and shaken the cobwebs out -- I couldn't afford to miss a play, right?
Career-Ending Collision
Let's fast forward to my freshman year of college, three concussions into the season. That's when I received my worst concussion -- after absolutely destroying some poor soul who got in my way and "leading with my head" in the process. The resulting fourth concussion was the end of my college football career according to NCAA rules.
I still tried to play another year at an NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) school, but probably did more harm than good. Now, let's fast forward again, to today -- when I suffer from headaches, neck pain and hearing loss thanks to the concussions. For this reason, I have followed the NFL in its quest to lessen the chances of head injuries.
On Oct. 28, 2009, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke in front of the Committee on the Judiciary House of Representatives. Greg Aiello from the NFL was kind enough to send me a transcript of the testimony. Part of the testimony was on retired players and what the NFL is doing to help those whose pension plans were nowhere near what they are today.
The other part of the presentation was on head injuries in the NFL, noting that concussions and their effects are "a serious matter and that they require special attention and treatment." Goodell stated that "medical considerations must always come first," and I don't think you'll see many people disagreeing with the notion.
The Answer: Better Research and Education
I know that taking the football helmet out of the game as The Journal article mentions will not happen. The thinking behind the idea is that helmets create a sense of invulnerability, The Journal says. As a result, players collide harder and more frequently, the piece states. Removing them from play could reduce the number of collisions that cause increasing damage over a player's career, the rationale goes.
But the piece takes a look at what impact no helmets has had on the Australian Football League (AFL). Yes, AFL is rough. But it isn't the war in the trenches like every down in the NFL. You can't have the big uglies up front taking each other on with no protection on their heads. The NFL is taking the right steps, through better research and better education.
The equipment available today is amazing, starting with Riddell. This company makes 82% of the helmets worn in the NFL and 62% of the helmets in Division I football (according to this Business Wire article). This same article notes that a three-year study of high school football players wearing the Riddell Revolution helmet (as seen here) were 31% less likely to suffer a concussion than those wearing a traditional football helmet. This study was conducted in 2006.
The Journal notes that the NFL is conducting independent testing of helmets that focus on "more accurate and comparative information about concussive forces." These are all great steps. When teamed with education for coaches and trainers on how to handle concussions (led by none other than John Madden, the legendary NFL coach and later a TV analyst), they should help lessen the amount of concussions and players losing their career to concussions.
A "What-If" Scenario That Won't Happen
Yes, taking the helmets out of football may cut the number of headhunters out there, throwing their bodies around without care for their own health. But it won't eliminate them altogether. In fact, taking helmets off the gridiron will lead to more injuries and a lot fewer viewers.
New rules, new equipment and new education will help lessen concussions -- far more than eliminating helmets will. In defense of The Journal article, the authors aren't suggesting that eliminating helmets will stop concussions. They're presenting a "what if" scenario. A "what if" that will never happen. A "what if" that Riddell can't let happen because most of its business comes from selling helmets to the NFL.
UPDATE: After this story was originally published on Nov. 15, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to NFL teams on Nov. 24 noting that the two doctors who served as co-chairmen of the league's committee on brain injuries resigned and that the commissioner will be looking at potential rule changes to "reduce head impacts." The NFL is looking for replacements for the doctors, who had come under attack from the NFL Players Association and Congress. These doctors had criticized the research done linking head injuries to an increased risk for dementia and cognitive decline.
The resignations are important, but Goodell's assertion that the NFL will continue to research safer equipment (mainly helmets) and other steps the NFL will take are also key. Perhaps most important is the public service message that will be "directed primarily at young athletes, their parents and coaches on the importance of head injury awareness."
This has to be done. Football players and all those associated need to know the risks surrounding head injuries -- what we once thought was a "bell-ringing" and something you could shake off isn't that at all. I would rather concussions be brought to the forefront through this education rather than through head injuries to some of the NFL's biggest stars -- and to those young players who'll never be stars but just enjoy playing.

Known as the Mayberry of the Midwest, Clay City, Indiana, likes to be described as a "town in a time capsule." This town of fewer than 1,000 takes great pride in its newspaper, medical center, pottery, three sawmills, six churches and two banks. What it lacks in clothing shops, furniture stores and hotels, it more than makes up for with its colorful '50s- and '60s-style restaurants.
Glory Days Restaurant and Pub
Decked out in '50s decor, Glory Days (no website; 802 Main St., Clay City; 812-939-2665) is an antique dealer's dream. Old porcelain signs line the walls, Formica tables and red-cushioned booths remind patrons of yesteryear. The American-fare restaurant serves up traditional diner food as well as fancier dishes such as prime rib, chicken Marsala and seafood Thermidor. House favorites include homemade salad dressings, taco soup, fried pickles and a variety of cream pies.
A&W Root Beer
Clay City's A&W Root Beer (no website; 12 N. Main St., Clay City; 812-939-2727) is not your ordinary drive-up establishment. Customers can sit in cozy booths on checkerboard floors and groove to the tunes of an old-time jukebox while enjoying burgers, fries and frothy root beer in tall, glass mugs. Known for its Coney dogs and root beer floats, this Clay City restaurant welcomes groups and offers take-out and catering.
Mayberry Malt & Coffee Shoppe
Nothing says nostalgia like an old-fashioned malt shop. Located in the center of town, the Mayberry Malt & Coffee Shoppe (no website; 709 Front St., Clay City; 812-939-3200) is owned and operated by two educators. The burger, coffee and ice cream joint offers a menu filled with selections taken straight from "The Andy Griffith Show." Patrons can choose from Helen's Hot Dog, Thelma Lou's Taco Salad and Barney's Banana Split. According to an interview in "The Brazil Times," co-owner Jeff Fritz commented, "We wanted to promote morals and values as well as provide a clean environment, with good food and fair prices. We are the Mayberry of the Midwest. It is only fitting that we promote those same values."
Bob & Angie's Hometown Cafe
Bob & Angie's Hometown Cafe (no website; 711 Main St.; Clay City; 812-939-3909) is housed in an inconspicuous storefront in the center of town. Known as the place "where friends become family," the eatery brings back memories of simpler times with its basic decor and hearty American home-style meals. Homemade pies and chicken Alfredo are the house specialties, but you won't want to miss the reasonably priced breakfast and lunch buffets.

While you might think that putting fire sprinklers in your home creates an unnecessary risk of water damage, you might be pleasantly surprised to find that many of the myths about water sprinklers are not true.

Volunteers are an essential part of our organisations. By offering their time and skills to support those we help, our volunteers embody the spirit of "Welcome" in our communities.
The organisations of the Humanitarian Hub receive little or no government funding. We rely on volunteers to provide services and support the work that we do. Without volunteers we simply wouldn't be able to help those who come to our country, seeking protection.
Volunteering is a wonderful way to connect with your community and make a real difference. People who volunteer not only improve the wellbeing of others and the world around them; they can also find purpose and fulfilment. Volunteering can greatly improve your skills and knowledge, while organisations benefit enormously from the extra input, increased efficiencies and genuine connections that volunteers bring.
Matching volunteers to the right roles
When you register with the Hub, you can create your own online profile. This helps the Hub to match the right person to the right need.
Your online profile is a place where you can tell us a bit more about yourself, update any details, sign up for training and look up events or other opportunities if you wish. Your online profile is private – only you and the Volunteer Coordinators of the Hub can view the details.
Online profiles allow the Hub's Volunteer Coordinators to search and quickly find volunteers to help with a particular role or project. Sharing your profile with the Hub helps us see our most precious resource – you!
If you're interested in volunteering, we'd love to get to know you. To register your interest in volunteering, simply follow the steps to create a new online profile. Once registered you can apply for roles with any of the organisations. Your profile and contact details will simply be transferred to where you are applying.
Volunteers who are currently working with us have the option to sign up to the Hub to access training and resources and to let us know a bit more about you.
Volunteer requirements
Volunteers who are offered a role will be assigned to that organisation. This will be the primary organisation you are working with and they will carry out your NSW Working with Children Check (WWCC), when needed. Each of the four organisations is a registered charity who can verify the check when a volunteer is offered a role.
Volunteers of the Hub must comply with the Code of Conduct, privacy policies, terms and conditions of the organisation they are volunteering with. The Humanitarian Hub maintains an overarching Privacy Policy that reflects all four organisations.
Shared Information
The information collected by the Humanitarian Hub will be stored securely, accessible only to the Hub Coordinator and the Volunteer Coordinators and only for the purposes of volunteering. Personal information and contact details will not be used by any of the organisations of the Hub for any purpose other than volunteering.
By registering with the Hub, volunteers agree to receive information from the Hub directly concerning volunteering. Registered volunteers will have the option to share their information with only one organisation if they wish.
A Working with Children Check (WWCC) is a requirement for people who work with or around children in NSW. The organisations of the Humanitarian Hub believe it is best practice for all our volunteers to complete a check and to hold a valid WWCC number. Not all roles will need this, so the Volunteer Role Descriptions will specify if it's a requirement.
The WWCC involves submitting contact details and proof of identity in order to review a person's national criminal history and any findings of workplace misconduct. The check is undertaken by the relevant state or territory's child protection government agency. In NSW this is the Office of the Children's Guardian.
Cost: The check is free for volunteers and is valid for 5 years, although cleared workers will have ongoing monitoring.
Applying for a WWCC: Application forms can be filled in online here: https://wwccheck.ccyp.nsw.gov.au/Applicants/Application. Once submitted, volunteers need to take their application number and proof of identity to a Service NSW Centre for submission. Once approved, the WWCC number will be sent out within 1-3 weeks.
Verifying a check: Volunteers who are offered a role through the Hub will have their WWCC number verified by their organisation before beginning work.

"This is an incredibly exciting development for Highgate Hotels as we continue to expand the Lifestyle Division, and I am confident David will infuse his experience and expertise to reinvent this classic hotel," said Jeff Toscano, Highgate Hotels.
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 07, 2013
Highgate Hotels and FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated are pleased to announce the appointment of Jeff David as Managing Director for the New York Hotel, the Knickerbocker Hotel in New York City. The iconic landmark tower located on 42nd and Broadway in Times Square, that originally opened in 1906, will debut as an updated 330-room and suite lifestyle boutique hotel for the upscale corporate and leisure traveler.
With his five star pedigree spanning twenty years in hospitality management, and as recent winner of the prestigious 'Hotelier of the Year Award 2012', David will lead the hotel through an initial repositioning phase before its reopening in early 2014.
David brings with him an extensive background in the luxury market. Having launched his career at one of the world's most recognized properties, the Four Seasons Regent Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles, David built a solid foundation of expertise in this sector. His growth continued with a move to the Four Seasons Boston where he functioned as an integral part of the management team that elevated the property into the only 5-Star, 5-Diamond hotel in New England.
After nine years at Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, David managed independent hotels and was later recruited by the Los Angeles-based Viceroy Hotel Group, a lifestyle hospitality brand known the world over for stylized properties across a range of markets.
As a fundamental part of this team for almost six years, his tenure at properties in Palm Springs, California, Snowmass, Colorado and Anguilla in the British West Indies provided extensive exposure to the inner workings of these luxury hotels in the brand's portfolio.
Most recently as the General Manager of the Viceroy Anguilla, David was a key player in opening and operating of this $550 million flagship property. His efforts here were recognized when he won the coveted title of 'Hotelier of the Year 2012' at the Anguilla Hotel and Tourism Associations (AHTA) Annual Tourism Gala in December 2012.
David also managed the historic Viceroy Palm Springs in California, traveling regularly between the two destinations. David later transitioned from his post in Anguilla and Palm Springs to oversee the 2009 opening of the Viceroy Snowmass, a $200 million ski-in, ski-out facility that he guided through an on-time, under budget launch.
Additionally, David has served as the Food and Beverage Director at Rosewood Hotel's and Resort's Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, as well as General Manager of several distinct luxury New England properties including the famed Chatham Bars Inn on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and The Chanler at Cliffwalk in Newport, Rhode Island.
"This is an incredibly exciting development for Highgate Hotels as we continue to expand the Lifestyle Division, and I am confident David will infuse his experience and expertise to reinvent this classic hotel," said Jeff Toscano, Vice President of Operations for the Lifestyle Division of Highgate Hotels.
"The move to New York is even sweeter now" said David. "The reopening of the Knickerbocker Hotel is a tremendous opportunity to reintroduce one of New York's storied, iconic hotels as a true upscale lifestyle destination. I am delighted to join this visionary company who will help shape the way Luxury Lifestyle Hotels operate in the future"
David graduated with Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of California in Los Angeles and received his Certificate in Wine Stewardship from the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley. He is most recognized for his creativity and leadership ability, as well as the fact that many of the properties he has managed have ranked at the top of their respected regions in various indexes, from guest satisfaction to RevPAR.

About The Knickerbocker Hotel:
The Knickerbocker Hotel will be a monument to New York's coming of age when it reopens its doors in early 2014. A listed Beaux-Arts building, the original Knickerbocker Hotel welcomed glitterati and dignitaries since opening in 1906, and is the rumored birthplace of the martini, invented by house bartender, Martini di Arma di Tagga, in 1912. The iconic property was operated as a hotel until 1921, and its prominent mansard roof with terra-cotta detail still dominates the southeast corner of 42nd street in the heart of Times Square. World-renowned architect and interior design team, Gabellini-Sheppard, will harness the property's glamorous past and reimagine this upscale destination to its former glory, showcasing 330- guest rooms and suites, a comprehensive fitness studio, events space for up to 250 guests, a signature restaurant and bar, and a 7,500 square foot rooftop bar and terrace overlooking Times Square (perfect for viewing the New Year's Eve Ball on Broadway).

You may watch below the first official trailer of An Ordinary Man, the upcoming action drama movie written and directed by Brad Silberling and starring Ben Kingsley, Hera Hilmar, and Peter Serafinowicz:
From Director Brad Silberling.
"The life of a fugitive war criminal takes a turn for the unexpected in An Ordinary Man. After years of hiding in plain sight following the brutal Balkan wars, a man known only as the General, ferried nightly from couch to couch by faithful loyalists, at last is placed in an apartment of his own. When Tanja, the young housemaid of the prior tenant unwittingly stumbles through his door, it's clear to both that her simply departing will not be an option. What follows is a cat and mouse game of intentions and identities, in which the General's need for human contact drives him to take increasingly greater risks, pressing to unearth Tanja's secrets… and setting them both on a collision course with the past."
Why would a pretty woman like he fall for an old and bald war criminal on the run like him?

For container planting, be sure to plant your seeds at a depth around three times the radius of the seed. Be aware that some seeds shouldn't be covered, as they need sunlight. These seeds include petunias and ageratum. The directions for how to handle the seeds will usually be found on the seed's package. You can also find this information online.
When you mulch your garden beds with organic material, make sure it's about three inches deep. This will retain moisture in the soil as well as provide nourishment. It also inhibits weed growth, resulting in a tidier presentation of your organic garden.
Have all of your tools available to you as you garden to increase efficiency. Wear pants with multiple pockets or use a toolbox or large bucket. Keep gloves, small pruning shears, a trowel and any other tools handy in order to increase the quickness of the work that goes into your garden.
Depending on where you live, you may be able to continue harvesting some garden crops during the winter. You can protect these vegetables by covering them with a homemade tent. Install old bean pols at the end of the beds. Use some sheets to throw over them, and a heavy object such as a brick to hold the edges down. This is an inexpensive method of building tents in order for you to save your crops in the winter time.
Involve your children in gardening. A garden can be a great learning experience for your children, and it gives you a chance to bond while producing healthy food.
Rotate your garden at least once a year. If you keep planting the same thing in a particular area every year, it can cause a buildup of disease in the soil. These plant enemies can become stored in the ground, ready to attack your plants the following year. However, by alternating the locations of your different types of plants, you can naturally prevent the fungi and diseases from developing.
When a seed actually sprouts, it doesn't need to be in as warm an environment. Move your plants further away from your heat source as they grow. Remove plastic films on containers to prevent warmth and humidity from penetrating them. You need to read the seeds to know the best time to do this.
Before you start your garden, learn how to properly construct garden beds. The first step is to dig under the soil with a spade. Once you do this, flip it upside down and cover this area with around three or four inches of wood chips. After several weeks, you can begin to cut in it, then plant.
Anyone may plant gardens, but only those who are knowledgeable can get more out of their planted crops. Put these organic gardening tips to use.

Best Browning Trail Cameras
Browning Dark Ops HD Camera
A good amount of work went into this 10MP camera that really deserves some attention for the specific features they pack. The low priced Browning Dark Ops HD Camera can also do 1280×720 HD video, which doesn't degrade overnight like in other cameras. For both daytime and nighttime use the camera uses invisible IR illumination to keep prey or intruders from seeing it go off. At nighttime the flash range is an astounding 70ft. and able to cover just as wide as area as a camera twice the price. For taking pictures and videos in the dark this is the golden apple and is a real selling point of this specific model.
Zero blur technology gets rid of the throwaway photos that plagued a lot of earlier models, and gives you better photos overall so that you don't have to delete so many when checking the camera. Trigger speed is a very good 0.67 seconds and should get everything you need on the first shot. The last plus to mention is that it only requires 6AA batteries for full functionality, so power costs won't eat into your wallet. Browning did a nice job with this camera, adding in a few touches that separate it from the rest of the pack.
Browning Strike Force
Getting just above the medium price point is the Browning Strike Force HD Sub Micro 10MP Game Camera, with a very fast and serviceable 0.67 trigger time. This time has become the norm for quality cameras in Browning's lineup and is still considered to be a great time across all types of trail cameras. What makes this package so special though is not the actual HD hardware, but how they made it a starter kit for anyone interested in their products.
This package comes with an 8GB SD card, which is about double the competing space any other packages offer. With the adjustable 10MP resolution, if put on a lower resolution this 8GB can very much last the lifetime of the device without swapping. Six Browning branded AA batteries are included and are just rebranded versions of top tier batteries. They will last a lot longer than generic branded AA's and once they run out there is an optional 12V power jack that can be purchased to make the batteries irrelevant. This is the best starter set currently for purchase from any company, and comes highly recommended.
Browning Recon Force FHD Camera
Another powerful camera in Browning's lineup is this model that banks on using its 10MP to the fullest extent. Combined with the IR LED illumination buyers can expect pretty detailed photos, and videos that are 1920×1080 for full HD resolution on big screen television sets. Flash range at night is 100ft. which goes far and beyond even some of the best cameras on the market. And using Browning's standard 0.67 trigger speed there is little you will miss in the daytime or the night.
The camouflage case used to house the camera is rugged and hard to see even for the most curious of animals, letting you hide it in plain sight if placed carefully. Using the time lapse camera mode you can get full control of the camera when you need it the most and not miss any of the special moments that would cause you to mess up a hunt. Using it as a security camera, the flash range is hard to beat and should really get some good photos of intruders near your home before they strike. With the price being just right, this is a camera that can really drive home the power of the Browning brand.
Browning Strike Force HD Camera
A lot like the other products in their line, this one has a lot of features but is aimed at the consumer looking for a low cost camera. Despite being on their budget line it maintains a lot of the features of its big brothers, including the 0.67 trigger speed and 100ft. nighttime flash. The video still looks great on the big screen but has been optimized for 1280×720, so although it isn't full 1080p it is still high definition with very little loss of quality.
Zero blur technology ensures the integrity of the resolution, with most of the pictures and videos coming out like they were shot by a professional. Dimensions of the unit is 10×7.5×3.2 with a weight of 1.5 pounds total. It only uses 6AA batteries so it won't eat into your wallet with extra costs, and is pretty good on power saving features. The Browning Buck Watch Time-lapse viewer software that is packaged in has gotten rave reviews from customers and makes the entire experience worthwhile. A good budget camera to start out with for hunting or home security, and even better when you consider the price.
Browning Trail Camera Range Ops XR
The low priced Browning Trail Camera – Range Ops XR is a heavy duty camera with ease of use in mind for the casual customer. It uses 8AA batteries that can be swapped out through a sliding compartment at the bottom of the camera. Not really a gimmick, and more of a convenience for those that are tired of dealing with latch based battery compartments.
Trigger speed is 0.67 seconds, and when paired with the 60ft. flash range it becomes an admirable combo in one package. HD video is a possibility and can record up to 2 minutes in length with sound. Buyers that are fans of the Browning Buck Watch software will approve of its inclusion in this package which will work with most modern and old windows operating systems. Although the picture and video flash isn't invisible, it only shows a dim red light when functioning so it won't alert any intruders that come within its range. Buyers that need something that is in the middle of the low to middle price range with a lot of features will love this camera for what it is.

All questions that appear in our checklists serve a purpose and help you gather the right information to make an informed decision about a provider. However, the implications associated with some of the questions may not be completely obvious.
This user guide addresses those questions in particular; it is organized to match checklist categories.
Some states license and regulate home care agencies, and others do not, which means there are differences in the way caregiver hours are scheduled and what caregivers can and cannot do for their clients. The questions in this section allow you to determine what kind of care an agency caregiver provides in your state.
Agency policy and procedure questions:
Here are some of the benefits you should receive when you use an agency, as opposed to hiring a caregiver directly, and part of the reason why agency caregivers usually cost more:
A professional, such as a nurse or social worker, conducts an in-person assessment prior to the start of service so that the caregiver who is selected for you has the skills to meet your needs and is a good match.
- You are able to reach a live person 24/7 to address concerns and deal with any problems that arise.
- The agency is responsible for finding you a substitute caregiver if your caregiver is unable to come for any reason.
- An agency staff person is responsible for supervising and supporting your caregiver.
Many long-term care insurance companies require that policy holders use an agency that adheres to the policies and procedures described above.
Caregiver screening questions:
There are various types of caregivers, with various types of background. Here's some information to help you determine what is most appropriate for you:
- Licensed practical nurses, who work under the supervision of a nurse, are able to do medication setups, wound care and other medical procedures for clients. They are more expensive than caregivers with less training.
- Most caregivers, whether they are certified nursing assistants (CNAs) or home health workers, who have some formal training, are employed to assist clients with activities of daily living, such as personal care, and instrumental activities of daily living, such as errands and chores in the household. In some states, they may be permitted to provide specified types of nursing care, under supervision from a nurse.
- Homemakers have no formal training, although they may have skills that they have gained from experience working with older adults.
Caregiver screening and ongoing training are particularly important.
Good agencies do criminal background checks on caregivers prior to hire. However, a state criminal background check will not uncover a crime committed in another state. For that reason it is important that the agency does thorough reference checks as well.
Caregivers who work with an agency that provides and/or requires training are more likely to be knowledgeable and provide good care.
Note that many long-term care insurance companies require that the policy holder use a certified nursing assistant (CNA).
It is important for you to know whether a caregiver is a direct employee or sub-contractor with the agency you are using. Employees are covered by the agency's worker's compensation and liability insurance. Sub-contractors are not. Although no one wants to think about accidents or theft, it's best to be protected and compensated.
The questions about the length of time the director and average caregiver have worked for the agency are also important because stable employees, at every level, usually reflect good management and translate into good performance.
Licensure and accreditation questions:
If an agency operates in a state that requires licensure and does not have a license, or has a license that is not in good standing—run. Similarly, if an agency does not carry worker's compensation and liability insurance—run.
Home care agencies rarely seek accreditation because it is an onerous and costly process. If an agency is accredited by an accreditation organization, it indicates that they are committed to continuing quality improvement and excellence.
Agencies are not required to join any professional organization. However, membership in professional organizations suggests, at a minimum, that the agency is concerned with its reputation. While it is not a guarantee of superior performance, many agencies that join professional organizations do so because they are committed to high standards in their industry.
Before you decide to work with a particular agency, ask yourself the following five simple questions.
When you first called the agency, were you able to reach a staff person in a timely manner?
Did you feel you were well-treated by the person you spoke with on the phone?
Did the person answer your questions to your satisfaction?
Do you feel that the person who came out to do the initial assessment understood your needs and concerns?
Were costs and contract terms explained so that you could fully understand them?
