Co-operative banks' assets remain stable in shrinking market
How do European co-operative banks perform compared to the entire banking sector? New research by TIAS School for Business and Society reveals that co-operative banking groups across 13 European countries have increased their membership base by 1.6 million to almost 80 million in 2015.
The study, which was carried out with support from the European Association of Co-operative Banks (EACB), also shows that almost one in five inhabitants of the EU countries under review is currently a member of a co-operative bank.
Furthermore, the total assets of co-operative banks remained stable, while those of all other banks shrunk by almost 2%. Since 2011, total assets and retail loans of all other banks contracted, but they grew at co-operative banks.
According to the research, the levels of return on equity of co-operative banks outperformed the rest of the banking sector since 2008. The study argues this is due to co-operative banks focusing on traditional retail banking and being less risky, which leads to milder revenue fluctuations.
In terms of capital positions, these improved for both co-operative and non-co-operative banks. The average Tier 1 ratio of co-operative banks and entire banking sectors increased by 1 percentage point to 14.5 and 14.3, respectively.
The TIAS report concludes that co-operative banks engage in fewer and more stable business, which provides stability. In addition, the research makes the case for diversity in the banking sector, where co-operative banking co-exist with other banks. It highlights that less "biodiversity" in banking will have a detrimental impact on competition and stability.

See How Perming Short Hair Can Give You a Completely New Look
Perming short hair and maintaining it correctly are great tips to flaunt a new look. While perming short hair, opt for a wavy pattern, rather than creating large curls.
Ningthoujam Sandhyarani
Last Updated: Feb 3, 2018
Perms or permanent hair waving continues to be in trend since the last few decades. Basically a chemical treatment, it involves changing the hair texture by using a specific solution. There are lot of things that you can do with this hair treatment, some of which include straightening curly hair, body perm, spot perm, spiral perm, and stack perm. Thus, you can either make a major change by creating chunky chunks or just add volume to your existing hairstyle.
Also, it does not matter whether your hair is short or not. Perming short hair though, has lesser options as compared to perming long hair.
Perming Short Hair at Home
Let's first see what actually happens in hair perming. The procedure involves three steps, the first is to wrap hair around perm rods (straight or cylindrical) of specific size, second step is application of perm lotion to break down the disulfide bonds of hair and lastly, a neutralizer is applied to set hair in the permed texture. Over here, size of the curls depend upon the size of the perm rod. Smaller rods will give small and tight curls, while larger perm rods are used for clients who prefer to have wavy and voluminous hair.
Do not consider perming your hair just because your friend does it or your favorite Hollywood star has spiral perms. After all, it is a chemical treatment, which can result in various side effects. In case, you have recently colored your hair, wait for some time, or else repeated exposure to chemicals will cause hair damage. The same duration should be maintained for perming already permed hair. In short, if you know about the perming procedure and the toll it takes on hair, then only go for it. Following are tips for perming hair at home.
Check Out your Hair Type
Determining the hair type is the first step for any hair perming session. Is your hair colored, short or long, coarse or thin textured? Based on these, the chemical treatment time and rod size should be decided. Certain perming methods go well with specific hairstyles. For example, spiral perm short hair is possible, but it suits best in longer hair.
Things You Need
The required tools are hair perming kit, 20 or more perm rods of specific size, comb, clean towel, mixing bowl, and hand gloves. The most crucial step is selecting right size perm rods that will give the perfect wave pattern for your short hair. For carrying out this process, you will need a helping hand, may be your friend.
Preparing for Perming
Go through the user directions provided in the kit. In order to get good results, you will need to wash your hair with a mild shampoo just before perming. The effect of the chemical will be better in clean hair strands. Towel dry your hair after shampooing. Then, comb gently to remove tangles and knots.
Applying Perming Lotion
For this step, divide hair in equal sections and wrap hair around the rods (starting from bottom and moving upwards). The size of curls is based on how tight you wrap your hair, size of the rod, and length of chemical treatment. Keeping this in mind, apply perming solution to the hair thoroughly and wait for the stipulated time period.
Hair Neutralizing Step
After the waiting period is over, rinse hair properly to flush off the solution. Towel dry your hair and remove perm rods one by one, making sure that you are not puling them. Then apply neutralizer to your hair, covering each part of the treated hair. It may take about 24 hours to set perm hair. Accordingly, do not wash hair for at least one day after perming.
While selecting short hair styles perm, take a note of your face shape. In general, large curls look weird for short hair. Also, after perming short hair, it is very important to follow certain hair care instructions to reduce hair damage. If possible, use only permed hair shampoo that is specifically formulated for chemically treated hair. Last but not the least, avoid exposure to harsh sunrays and make sure you use appropriate hair products.

(Cranky rant of other things I'm tired of hearing: 1.) the word curated in anything other than a museum brochure. As in, "His Tumblr on mid-century potato peelers is expertly curated." It kind of makes me want to punch things. 2.) Sustainable, organic, locally-sourced. Oh brother. Yay for good food and all but whenever someone starts preaching about this i want to reach for the nearest bag of Cheetos and shout, "I LOCALLY-SOURCED THESE AT THE 7ELEVEN!")(End Rant.)
Back to Grub. The other food we ate there was pretty delicious (brie BLT anyone?) but we all decided that it didn't make the cut of places we HAVE to go to when we're in the area.
Unlike Neveux. Which we did go to, of course. What is a birthday trip into LA without peach pepper ice cream? I know I talk about this place all the time but you guys, it's the greatest. I won't stop talking about it until all of you have tried it. So get going, OK. While we were eating our ice cream we were chatting with Leo and Camille asked if maybe, someday we could watch the magic happen and see the whole ice cream making process. He said sure! Wow-wee! I love seeing how things are made! He even said we could go shopping with him at the Hollywood farmers market for the ingredients. I won't even flinch if he says "Sustainable, organic, and locally-sourced."

Renara Akhoundova is one of Azarbaijan's most famous pianists. Having performed two well-received concerts in St. James's Church, Renara will return to London to perform at Pushkin House in Bloomsbury Square on 24th November. Nicholas Maltby interviewed her for www.links-dar.org and asked her about her life and work and why her music is of interest to psychiatrists and psychotherapists.
You have played successful concerts in London at St. James's church; is this where you will be playing next month? What are your plans for the concert?
I like this historic location so much: it's a London treasure. I've been really happy during my two previous concerts there. This time around, I'm delighted to play at the Russian cultural centre, Pushkin House. I'm playing on the 24th November. This is not only because I adore Pushkin, but also because in my personal history, Russia has a place close to my heart. So, just to make it clear, my concert will take place 6 pm on the 24th November in Pushkin House!
Do you enjoy playing in churches more than in concert halls?
I enjoy playing anywhere from the moment that I share my music with an audience. It is true though – there some special places to play in. In some venues, we can feel a magic aura – something that is already harmonious without music – and the music becomes an extension of that. So I have a preference for that kind of place.
In performances, do you primarily play your own compositions, or do you play celebrated classical pieces?
With all my respect and admiration for the genius of classical music – and I've been fortunate enough to grow up with it since childhood – I only play my music at concerts. I like to finish with live improvisation. The improvisation is a synergy my audience – and for all of us, in this kind of moment, music is a deep and fine expression of our souls, coming from that live moment. Essentially, I play only my compositions because it is only way to be totally myself.
You first played piano at three and began playing seriously at five. Were your parents pianists?
My parents had nothing to do with music. My father was a great scientist and my mother was a maths teacher.
Where did you first study music?
I studied music at 5 with the best teacher in the Soviet Union, Madame Yegorova Lidia Nikolayevna. This was in Baku and I consider that was the foundation of my musical childhood. After that, I attended the Special Musical School of Bulbul in Baku, which is where I got my diploma.
Having grown up in Barku, what prompted you to move? Why did you choose Paris?
First, I moved from Baku to Moscow so that I could continue studying at Moscow University. After that, I left for Paris. At the time, I was attracted by those countries which possessed a spirit of freedom and a respect for humans rights. When circumstances brought me to Paris, I immediately fell in love with the place, and the freedom of word and thought that I encountered. I decided to stay here, and I'm happy to I made this choice.
You studied Economics and Political Science in Moscow; has the degree made you a better manager of your own career?
Oh, not at all! Father Artemi calls me the best pianist among economists and the worst economist among pianists.
But my degree possibly helped to open my mind, because, after the Special Musical School of Bulbul, I was occupying a completely different world; especially in Moscow, where we had students from all of the world. That time in Moscow was one of the best experiences of my life.
How closely do you follow Azeri politics? And how much do you involve yourself in the development of music in Azerbaijan?
I don't follow Azeri politics very closely. However, thanks to the internet, all of us Azeris living around of the world can stay in touch and share information. Baku, where I was born, remains the city of my heart. Azerbaijan is the land of my ancestors: I always keep it in mind and try to honour it.
Your music is particularly popular with psychiatrists and psychotherapists. Do you think it has a special remedial or regenerative quality? If so, why?
There is a lot of research into the influence of music on mental health. Nasaru Emoto has also done some studies into the way water is affected by different soundwaves.
For me, the dialogue between the soul and sound is natural.
You have collaborated with Prior Artemi Vladimirov. Is religion the central motivation in your work?
My collaboration with Artemi Vladimirov is a blessing. He is a very special priest, full of Love. He shares generously with all people. I'm not religious but I trust God and I have a faith which guides me. It is a great cause of happiness for me to give concerts to people who have the same spiritual values.
How often do you return to Baku? Will you be able to play a concert there any time soon?
The last time I was in Baku was 2005. I'd like to go there with Father Artemi; we'll see what happens.
Your album and their titles seem very forthright? How important is honesty to composition? Do you feel that your discography forms a kind of diary record of your life?
I think one of the first conditions of any kind of art is honesty.
The titles come during the composition, and when they come, those times are very deep and exciting.
What draws you to London?
I love London. And in some spheres of London art is more open than it is in Paris; I want to publicize and distribute my album in London next year.

One important aspect of our vision for each child is "wellness of body" – regardless of any disease a child previously contracted before coming through our doors. Most of our children come to us with a variety of illnesses – including HIV for some children. However, we believe that God can work in many ways to provide healing relief so that our children can thrive in life.
- God works through the hands of trained physicians. Our children receive healthcare at the highest level – such as from the well-respected Partners in Health (www.pih.org) hospital, founded by Paul Farmer from Harvard University. The specialized treatment that PIH gives to our HIV-infected children is essential to their survival. Our children also receive periodic visits from doctors, nurses, and chiropractors from the USA. We have seen remarkable improvement, for instance, from physical therapy provided to our children with severe development issues.
- God works through the healing power of His own Creation. Our children are fed a highly nutritional diet. We believe in the healing power of God through the mechanisms in our bodies that are fueled by nutrition. We continually work to reduce our reliance on imported foods and to cultivate more organically-grown foods on our own farm.
- God works through love and prayer. Our staff members are like loving parents to these children. They are not just caretakers. They provide the love that has been withheld from these children before coming to Ephraim. We believe love and the prayer of our staff, volunteers, and supporters can have one of the most powerful healing effects.
The progress we see is encouraging. Children who could not walk begin walking within weeks. Children with chronic illnesses find relief. What progress will we see with HIV-infected children? Time will tell. But we trust God for miracles and are doing our part to unleash the power of his creation in the bodies of these children.
Community Healthcare. Through visits from volunteer doctors, nurses, chiropractors, and dentists from the USA, we provide health care to people from our local area. We live in a rural community where many people do not have access to basic health care. Many people live with chronic pain from curable ailments that can be as simple as an abscessed tooth.

With an end goal to battle driver weariness, Uber will constrain its drivers to take a break. The new component in the ridesharing stage will kick in consequently once drivers have been dynamic for 12 hours, and will impair drivers' capacities to acknowledge trips amid the accompanying six-hour time frame. As of now, the organization has this strategy set up in a couple of urban communities over the U.S. to agree to nearby directions, however this new element will now influence all drivers all through the nation.
While this change isn't probably going to influence by far most of drivers (Uber noticed that around 60 percent of drivers utilize Uber under 10 hours for each week), the organization unquestionably has "control drivers" that raise the numbers for everybody. In that capacity, this new component is intended to ensure a little yet vital minority of laborers who may exhaust themselves. In fact, driver weariness has for quite some time been an issue on American streets, and numerous expert drivers (counting truck drivers) have strict principles with respect to when they should direct the brakes after a long trek. What's more, even Lyft has a comparable convention set up — drivers must take a six-hour soften following 14 hours up driver mode.

Uber says that drivers are constantly mindful of how much driving they've done, and that the organization utilizes watchful measurements to figure out what qualifies as dynamic driving and what qualifies as rest. For instance, the clock won't run when drivers are halted at an airplane terminal sitting tight for travelers, yet will run when an auto is ceased at a red light.
Drivers will be notified as they draw close to the 12-hour limit so that they won't be surprised when they're told that they must stop for six hours. Once the required break has run its course, Uber says that the app will unlock itself automatically.

There could be changes ahead for Bank of America.
On September 22, shareholders will vote on whether or not CEO and chairman Brian Moynihan should keep his "chairman" title.
It's a controversial topic, and bank analyst Mike Mayo of CLSA has outlined 10 reasons why the answer should be "no."
All 10 reasons have to do with the bank's board.
It's not unusual for Wall Street CEOs to also hold chairman titles. Goldman Sach's Lloyd Blankfein, JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon and Morgan Stanley's James Gorman all hold both titles at their respective banks.
But in 2009, shareholders at Bank of America voted to split the roles — which were held at the time by Ken Lewis — and to elect an independent chairman.
That lasted until last October, when the board suddenly named Moynihan, who had become CEO in 2010, as chairman of the board as well.
Now, shareholders need to decide whether he can keep both jobs.
The upcoming vote follows Bank of America's unexpected ouster of CFO Bruce Thompson in July. At that time, bank analyst Mike Mayo referred to BofA's corporate governance as "horrendous."
Now, Mayo is back with more on the BofA board, and what should be done on September 22.
Advocating for a "no" vote in a recent note, Mayo wrote:
A "yes" vote on 22 September to combine the CEO/chair roles would consolidate board power, but increase the industry's reputational risk by taking BofA's existing poor oversight and making it worse in a hurried vote at a time of increased political sensitivities, in our view. In short, it could have the effect of putting a larger regulatory target on the industry's back.
He said the board has shown poor oversight, and listed 10 specific concerns with the board. Business Insider has reached out to Bank of America for comment.
Here are Mayo's ten gripes:
- The board's unilateral consolidation of chairman and CEO roles, without a shareholder vote at the time.
- The fact that the lead director at the time called the move "thorough and thoughtful."
- Pay raises for the board of directors that came only six weeks after the May 2015 annual meeting.
- An intentional lack of transparency when it comes to board decisions, including the October 2014 vote to combine CEO and chairman roles.
- The lead director's lack of bank regulatory experience, visibility, and balance.
- There are no timeframes for key financial targets.
- There is no scorecard for compensation.
- Inconsistent financial metrics in the CEO letter and presentations.
- The fact that the bank has seen four CFOs, four chief risk officers, and four heads of wealth management in just eight years.
- The lack of "self-criticism" despite poor performance, including poor return-on-equity and poor stock performance.

I picked up a few books from the library yesterday. I figured I should start my research with the authors that initially inspired my ideas, so I now have three books by Marcus Buckingham and one book by Alex and Brett Harris waiting for me to read. The book by the Harris twins is named Start Here, so I figured I should probably read that one first – you know, since it told me to.
Start Here is the follow-up to the first book the Harris twins wrote, Do Hard Things. In Do Hard Things, Brett and Alex challenged teens to a "rebelution" against the low expectations set for teens by our culture. It was the first book I read that started the gears turning in my brain on this issue. The chapters on the myth of adolescence struck a deep chord, and I loved all the examples they set forth of teens doing great things when they allowed themselves to be used by God. I've always loved the passion and potential in teenagers, and Do Hard Things was the hard evidence of those ideas. I partly wanted to read Start Here just to see the next step in their mission, but I'm also kind of hoping for some help myself. They wrote for teens, but I, too, need some advice on how to pursue a big idea that's been placed on my heart, and that's what they offer in this book.
So far I've read the first three chapters, and I'm just as impressed by the Harris boys' work as I was on their first book. The target audience is definitely teenagers, so some of it takes some translating to make it apply to my situation (changing "homework" to "my job" and "chores" to "housework," etc.), but the messages are still very good.
"Pursue faithfulness, not success" (4).
"When your heart and mind are alert, you can see opportunities to do hard things in everyday things" (9).
"Remember, neither fame nor obscurity is the goal. The goal is obedience to God, effectiveness in whatever He gives us to do, and a heart that glorifies Him" (21).
And that's just in the first two chapters. Chapter three is when the book really launches into the practical tips for making a great idea work. I began taking notes as their ideas and guiding questions helped me bring my vision into focus.
- What would I do if I had unlimited time and unlimited resources?
- What could I do toward reaching that goal with the limitations I face?
- What should I do? (What am I being called to do?)
- What do I bring to the table, and where do I need help?
- What are others already doing? What can I learn from them?
- Who knows more about this than I do?
- Where do I want my project to be a year from now, and what do I need to do to get there?
I started by neatly writing out each question, but as I answered them, my note-taking turned into furious scribbling as I sorted through my ideas. What was good about these questions is that the finally forced me to look at the step-by-step process of what I'm trying to do. What is my end goal, and what do I need to do to get there? I won't copy all my notes here, but I determined that I what I really want to do is this: combine strength-based training with career-placement explorations and bring it to the high school level in order to give teens an exciting focus for their futures. I'm still brainstorming the nitty-gritty of what that would look like and how to make it happen, but that's my idea… for now.
Finally, near the end of chapter three a passage jumped out at me.
Along the way, you might discover secret rebelutionaries. These are the young people around you whose hearts are silently crying out, "God has bigger plans for me than this. There's more to me than what this culture expects."
Your mission: find these people! They probably won't reveal themselves until you reveal yourself. You may have to do your initial hard things alone. But if you start living as if the idea of adolescence is a lie and start doing hard things, you'll attract the secret rebelutionaries who just needed to hear the battle cry and see a fellow soldier running into the battle. (47)
I know I'm not the teenager that Brett and Alex had in mind when they wrote this, but I want to take this on as my mission as well – to ignite the desire of every teenager to become a rebelutionary, whether they've heard that term or not.
What about you? What would you do if you had unlimited time and resources?

The decision whether to keep William Nylander in the NHL has been made.
Sunday afternoon the Toronto Maple Leafs announced that the roster had been trimmed down to 24 players (26 total as Petter Granberg cannot be sent down due to his ongoing injury rehabilitation, and Nathan Horton on LTIR). Another move is expected to be made but as of right now the Leafs have 14 forwards and 8D on this roster with young Scott Harrington pencilled in after a strong Camp, as well as newcomer Martin Marincin.
Notable young talents such as Nylander, Brown, Kapanen, Loov and Percy were all sent down on Sunday. There has been an ongoing debate in several areas of the Leafs Nation whether or not Nylander and/or Brown could make the opening night roster in the NHL. Some will point to the comments made by Coach Mike Babcock in regards to winning a spot on this roster. Clearly kids like Nylander and Brown out played MANY of the current roster bodies but it makes very little sense for them to play in the NHL with this garbage fire going on around them. Like I was always taught during Hazardous Materials training….Time, Distance and Shielding. This is also appropriate to the youth of this franchise.
Having said all of that, this does NOT mean that a few young players could see some NHL time this season. A lot of factors come into play and the fact that Nylander can be sent back and forth from AHL to NHL without having to clear waivers is something to keep an eye on.
The team also announced that 5 players would be put on waivers on Monday at noon. Heading to the waiver wire will be Matt Frattin, TJ Brennan, Andrew Campbell, Sammy Carrick and Byron Froese. Unsure what players will see time with the Marlies but unless something drastic were to occur, all of them can see time in the AHL.
More updates as they come out.

Fitness through Exercise for Life - Principles that Keep You Going for Life!
Exercising has so many physical benefits that most of us can relate to, but what about the emotional and psychological benefits it brings? Physical fitness, I believe, touches far more than just our arms, arteries and waistlines. It touches our very soul.
Tiger Woods was asked, "How do you feel about your competition?" Tiger replied, "My competition comes not from other people, but from the golf course in my mind." Personally, my workouts are not gauged on how much I can lift that day or how fast I can run a mile. My workouts are all about efficiency. If I can accomplish my goals in half the time, doing half the routines, you're darn right I am going to do it.
In my experience, less is always more.
One of the best attitudes you can have in order to keep your workouts going is to never be afraid to ask for help. Early on, I realized I needed assistance. If you want to reach a goal, find someone who has met your challenge and get advice from him or her.
Remember the formula:
If I had to narrow the magic down to one word for getting results, it would be consistency. If you learn nothing else, learn this principle. Results are about being consistent.
Your body is a smart, adaptive machine. On occasion, throw a little change in the mix.
If you work smarter rather than harder, develop a "less is more" attitude and watch the results follow.
There's no getting around it. Exercise takes discipline; it takes courage. Anything you have ever done in life has taken hard work, perseverance, and willingness to get in the trenches. You want to feel better, so be willing to pay the price. If not, you will pay a dear price very soon and it won't just be monetary.
All it takes to get started is a small amount of hope-hope that you can feel better, maybe lose a little weight, lower your blood pressure and stress levels, and at the end to the day feel happier, inside and out. You get hope and then you're on your way!
Sometimes it takes faith from others to get us started. Some times it may even take an act of desperation from us, but believing that it is possible to feel better gives us motivation to start or continue on.
Desire comes from within. It motivates us when we really want to be in denial, make excuses or quit. True desire starts in your heart.
It's time you quit making excuses, quit feeling sorry for yourself, and quit sitting on your biggest asset.

When the stamping product is stretched, the temperature in the dies rises quickly. There is a way to solve it.
You will need to use a double-sided lubricator (oilling rollers) at the discharge port of the press feeder. This can effectively lubricate the material fed into the dies. This is very effective for reducing the temperature in the dies and improving the service life of the dies.
Please notice:
Avoid the lubricating oil from returning to the press rollers. Otherwise, the press feeder rollers will by slidy and make feeding errors.

Richard's Rating: 6.0
Daren uses only organic or wild ingredients in his chocolate, and buys his cacao beans at fair trade or higher prices from those using sustainable practices. He avoids cane sugar, uses alternative low glycemic sweeteners (agave, date, honey, and coconut palm), and produces his chocolate in a nut, gluten, soy, and dairy free environment, which he finds helpful for those with food sensitivities. Stirs the Soul makes two single origin chocolates, three unflavored chocolates, many flavored chocolates, as well as chocolate confections and other cacao products. Origins Ecuador is one of the two single origin bars.
Origins Ecuador contained 88% cocoa solids and was made from Criollo cacao beans, cocoa butter, agave, and salt. The cacao beans were purchased from an individual farmer in Ecuador and the cocoa butter was made from those same beans. All of the ingredients were raw other than the salt. Although the bar was not certified, the ingredients were all organic. The 1.65 ounce bar was unscored, had raised areas, and was imprinted with a design of cacao pods. It came wrapped in two layers, wax paper under purple foil, inside a paper sleeve. The bar we reviewed was made on 20 October 2011, and had a best before date of 20 April 2012.
The chocolate had color similar to that of the other raw Ecuador chocolate we've reviewed: a medium-dark brown close to Bracken (PANTONE 19-1015), but with some added red. The surface of the bar was smooth, but had several bubbles. The snap was medium hard.
Origins Ecuador smelled of the familiar floral, musty earth, spice, and cocoa scents, but I also noticed a berry fruit in the aroma.
The taste, though, was somewhat different. The same earth and floral flavors were present, but I also tasted citrus and coffee. It was acidic, but had only a hint of sourness (much less than in Pacari's raw chocolates).
The chocolate had a smooth melt. The chocolate flavor lasted about 15 seconds after the chocolate was gone, giving it a short length. The sourness grew a little in the aftertaste, giving a finish that was somewhat sour and slightly acidic.
This was another raw chocolate that breaks the stereotype of raw chocolate having poor taste. Origins Ecuador was as good as many roasted chocolates. Even compared against other single origin Ecuador chocolate we've reviewed, it ranked only a little below the median.
You can purchase Origins Ecuador bars in packs of two for $12.50 in the U.S. directly from Stirs the Soul, or internationally if you phone them at 503-774-4903.

15 Dec A Job For Christmas
Although most companies put off taking on new staff just before and just after Christmas, there are industries where the Christmas period may be the busiest.
Industries like retail and hospitality for example, typically become very busy around the Christmas period and are likely to take on extra staff to cope with the increased demand. It's true that much of this work will be temporary in nature since once the Christmas frenzy is over, the work will be too.
Foot in the door
However, seasonal work can be a great foot-in-the-door opportunity for someone wanting to join a company with a view to securing a more permanent role.
This Christmas, Sainsbury's are taking on an extra 15,000 workers, the largest number of seasonal staff the supermarket chain has ever hired. A reported 2,000 of those workers will be kept on after Christmas in permanent roles across 1,000 stores throughout the country. The kinds of staff Sainsbury's are recruiting include check-out staff, shelf stackers and online delivery staff.
The logistics and transport industries also experience peaks in demand around Christmas time resulting in an increased need for warehouse staff, transport workers, delivery drivers, couriers etc. Royal Mail for example, are putting on an extra 18,000 staff this Christmas to cope with increased demand for their services.
Another advantage to taking on seasonal work as a route to more permanent work, is the recruitment process can in some cases be fast-tracked, requiring less effort than usual to get that vital foot- in-the-door.
Staying on after the seasonal rush
Once you've managed to get your foot in the door, it's important to shine in your seasonal role so you are noticed as a highly competent, indispensable member of the team. It's much easier to apply for a permanent role internally than it is as an outsider. You will also have the opportunity to get to know the company's culture, structure and build vital networks to help you secure the job you want.
Even if you're unable to secure a more permanent role with the company when your seasonal work comes to an end, it's always easier to find a new job if you are already employed, even as a casual.
Fresh experience for your CV
The fresh experience gained from seasonal work will also liven up your CV, the perfect pick-me-up for those with a gap in their work history. Don't forget to include your seasonal work in your CV and if possible, get a reference or recommendation you can include in your career portfolio.
Take advantage of a less competitive environment
For those roles that don't have a high demand around Christmas time, there are times when a role is so vital to an organisation's operations they have no choice but to recruit during this time. Since this can be when many job seekers take a break, it could mean you are competing against a smaller number of candidates increasing your chances of success.
As you can see, Christmas time doesn't have to be a dismal time for job seekers. Although the available work might differ, it can offer plenty of opportunity for you to work towards your career goals.

Now that the console has been available for a few days, retailers are reporting Switch sales numbers to Nintendo in order to have an estimate on the success of the new system. And it's good news since Nintendo just issued a press release in which they state that "Nintendo Switch sold more in its launch weekend than any other Nintendo hardware in history".
In the same time, Nintendo confirms that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was a major success, setting the other record of biggest-selling Nintendo launch title… ever in Europe!
We do not have any precise number yet on the number of units sold across Europe. However, we already know that Nintendo has sold 80,000 units in the UK. And Philippe Lavoué – Director of Nintendo France – just confirmed that the Switch sales in France are at 105,000 units in the first week of sales. We'll now have to wait for the other countries' numbers or another press communicate from Nintendo to know how many consoles were sold. But as far as we know, since the Wii sold at 325,000 units during first week, it means that the Switch's sales are higher than that.
We can confirm that, across Europe, Nintendo Switch sold more in its launch weekend than any other Nintendo hardware in history. Launch title The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has not only been bestowed with some of the highest review scores in gaming history, it's also the biggest-selling Nintendo launch title ever in Europe, even outselling Wii Sports in first weekend sales. And all this in March – traditionally a quiet time for the games industry.

Bad News Pops Secret Services' Successful Papal, UN Protection Balloon
A trio of high-profile events last week – the U.S. visit of Pope Francis, the state dinner of Chinese President Xi Jinping, and the United Nations (UN) General Assembly meeting in New York – required a massive security operation and tested the limits of federal law enforcement and homeland security agencies and personnel.
The U.S. Secret Service was in the middle of it all, and President Obama said that performed its job "flawlessly."
"They all deserve a huge round of applause for being such great hosts and keeping everybody safe," Reuters quoted the President as saying.
Unfortunately for the Secret Service, a report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General John Roth publicly released this week may spoil the beleaguered agency's moment in the sun.
The DHS OIG found that 45 Secret Service employees accessed a restricted application file for Jason Chaffetz, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman who had applied to work for the agency in 2003. Chairman Chaffetz (R-UT) had led his committee through three tough oversight hearings earlier this year. Oversight from the same committee last year resulted in the resignation of former Director Julia Pierson.
The IG found that only four employees had "an arguable legitimate need" to pull the Chaffetz personnel files. It also found that 18 Secret Service supervisors, including the acting chief of staff and deputy director of the service, were aware or should have been aware that the protected information had been improperly accessed.
The IG found that Assistant Director Ed Lowery had emailed a colleague about Chaffetz's application, amidst the committee's oversight hearings, writing that "some information that he might find embarrassing needs to get out. Just to be fair."
DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, who promised to investigate the issue of Chaffetz's personnel history being made public in April, pledged employees would be held accountable.
"The Inspector General has recently completed his investigation, and has found a number of instances of inappropriate conduct by Secret Service personnel. At the time, I stated that if the allegations were true, those responsible should be held accountable, and I reiterate that today," Secretary Johnson stated.
"With the investigation completed, I am confident that U.S. Secret Service Director Joe Clancy will take appropriate action to hold accountable those who violated any laws or the policies of this Department. I also reiterate the apology I issued in April to Chairman Chaffetz. Activities like those described in the report must not, and will not, be tolerated," Johnson continued.
Citing the abuse of public trust and sensitive personally identifiable information, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) asked Director Clancy in a letter what administrative or disciplinary action had been taken against Secret Service staff that had violated the Privacy Act, what steps the agency is taking to eliminate or mitigate risks to unauthorized access to personal information, and what steps the Service is taking to ensure misconduct and ethical lapses are reported up the chain of command in a timely manner.
Chairman Chaffetz pledged to not back down with his committee's investigations into the Secret Service.
"Certain lines should never be crossed. The unauthorized access and distribution of my personal information crossed that line. It was a tactic designed to intimidate and embarrass me and frankly, it is intimidating," Chairman Chaffetz stated in reaction to the IG report.
"Chairman Chaffetz and I have worked together to help restore the Secret Service to its standing as the most elite protective agency in the world. Today's findings by the Inspector General go directly against this goal and are completely and utterly unacceptable and indefensible," said Congressman Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the committee.

Directions to Event:
From Perth, travel south on the South Western Highway. Turn left (east) onto Jarrahdale Road and follow it into Jarrahdale. Do not take South Western Highway all the way to Serpentine National Park! The start/finish line is at Bruno Gianatti Hall, Munro St/Jarrahdale Rd.
Truth Ultra, Half, and 10km
Course Description
Pick your passion! The Truth, the whole Truth, or nothing but the consequences...which could mean a dreaded DNF...Or, feeling unprepared to tackle 50km of hills, rocks, boulders, single track, fire trail, steeps, flats, ruts, and pea gravel! So we give you an option, run the Half Truth instead. Just want short? Choose our 10km option.
The distances, and details:
Truth or Consequences (two loops): 50km +/- 1680 metres (Bonus: bragging rights over Half Truth mates)
Half Truth: 25 km +/- 840 metres gpx file
Course description: Half Truth comprises one 25km loop from Jarrahdale through Serpentine National Park, passing some Perth Trail Series icons along the
way. The course starts with a short bitumen section to get you out of town, past the old cemetery. This will spread the field out comfortably, so everyone
can enjoy several kilometres of sweet, descending single track at their own pace. Let the pretty descent lull you into a false sense of comfort. You'll
want to hold onto that feeling for later. The single track is quite technical, with boulders in places. You will use your hands at least once. Hopefully
it's not to pick yourself up off the ground.
Partial Truth: 10 km +/- 200 metres
'Partial Truth' is an out and back course. It's perfect for those that are brand new to trail running, or not ready to conquer the 25km distance.
Course marking: Courses will be well flagged - and marshalled at a few key intersections. We do our best to keep you on course, but it is your responsibility to keep aware of the flagging. Getting lost because you followed someone is not a good reason.
Qualification standards: We do not require it at this point, but if you plan to enter the ultra, you should have completed a similar distance (and hilly) trail event in under 8hrs, have a fairly recent marathon time of under 5hrs, or have completed a fairly recent 20+km trail event within the timeframe allotted.
Mandatory Gear (Without this-You can't start. If found without it at ANY point-Disqualified!) You must carry a hydration system that will
hold a minimum of 1ltr for the duration of the event. This could be a handheld, a pack, or a waist belt. We recommend most runners carry at least 1
litre. For the 'Partial Truth' carry 500ml of water for duration of the event.
Are Poles Allowed? Half Truth and Partial Truth - NO. Ultra runners, yes, under these conditions: (1) they must be collapsible poles and (2) you must carry them for the entire lap. You can choose to take them out for lap 1 or 2 or both, but you cannot drop them at an aid station along the way.
Recommended Gear We love trail-specific shoes with good lugs. They bite. There's a difference between road bike tyres and mtb tyres for good reason. Short gaiters help keep the dirt and pebbles out of your shoes. Sunnies and a hat help protect you from the sun. A good attitude protects you from grumpiness. A compression bandage in case of a badly turned ankle or a snake bite is recommended, as is a mobile phone (Telstra coverage is best).
Drop Bags 50km runners may leave a drop bag for the halfway point (which is at the start/finish). This bag must be clearly marked with your name and bib number. We will attempt to mind your bag(s), but you should not leave valuables in them such as money (yes, you may argue that gels are valuable, too!).
Aid Station
Aid Stations: Aid stations will be available approximately every 10km. Aid station provisions will include (at the least) water, electrolyte and fruit.
Aid Stations for Half Truth: KM 9 (Serpentine NP/Falls), KM 20 (Serpentine River crossing).
Aid Stations for Truth or Consequences Ultra: KM 9 (Serpentine NP/Falls), KM 25 (Start/Finish line), KM 34 (Serpentine NP/Falls), KM 45 (Serpentine
River crossing). Note that there is no aid station at the river crossing on lap 1.
Note that disposable cups are NOT provided at our events. All racers are provided with their very own reusable silicone collapsable cup. Be sure to collect your cup with your bib if it's your first event. If you've lost your cup, let us know. 15 ltr water jugs are provided at the finish line.
Ambulance cover: A ride in an ambulance is generally not a preferred way to end your trail run. Arriving home later to a bill in the mail is even worse. Ambulance services are not covered by Medicare. Thus, we recommend that you have adequate insurance, including ambulance cover.
Pacing and Personal Crews: No outside assistance is allowed (i.e., no individual crewing/spectator crewing) except in the case of emergency. However, we will permit ultra runners to have someone they love hand over supplies/bottles at the start/finish line at the end of lap 1. This is the only place where runners may have assistance from anyone not wearing an orange fluoro PTS volunteer vest :)
Cut off times: The 50km event has an 8.5hr cut-off (4PM). You must be at the halfway point in 4 hours or you will likely not be allowed to continue (rarely does an ultra runner speed up for the second half!). The 25km event has a very generous 6.5hr cut-off, as you merely need to be off the course at the same time the ultra runners finish, so we can all go home before dark.
Sign up for your first Ultra!
